Egypt constructed (1964–1971) the Aswan High Dam, creating the Lake Nasser reservoir (length: 500 km; average width: 12 km) and is constructing the Tushka Canal to channel 5.0×109 m3/yr of Lake Nasser water to reclaim 0.5×106 acres of desert lands. The model, constrained by regional-scale groundwater flow and near-lake head data, was successfully calibrated to temporal-observation heads from 1970 to 2000 that reflect variations in lake levels. Predictive analyses for the subsequent 50-yr period were conducted by employing the calibrated model. Simulations of long-term effects, beyond year 2000, of Lake Nasser on recharge and temporal groundwater head (base case scenario) show that recharge from the lake will continue at a much slower rate than during the 30-yr period of 1970–2000 (with approximately 86% reduction in 30-yr recharge). The modest projected pumping and injection activities in the study area are not expected to cause major deviation in the overall head distribution compared to the base case scenario. The investigation of effects of the new irrigation land development on the Nubian aquifer indicated that many of the proposed irrigation areas, especially those with small aquifer thickness, will become fully saturated with introduced water, resulting in potential flooding and salinization.; A two-dimensional groundwater flow model was constructed to investigate the long-term hydrologic impacts of Lake Nasser and the major land reclamation projects that use excess lake water in southwest Egypt. Egypt constructed (1964-1971) the Aswan High Dam, creating the Lake Nasser reservoir (length: 500 km; average width: 12 km) and is constructing the Tushka Canal to channel 5.0x10E9 cubic m/yr of Lake Nasser water to reclaim 0.5x10E6 acres of desert lands.

To estimate initial losses over sub-basins, transmission losses through channel routing, and downstream runoff, we developed an integrated model combining spatial rainfall distribution, an appropriate basin unit hydrograph, and appropriate infiltration parameters. Watersheds and stream networks identified from digital terrain elevation data were verified by comparison with co-registered Landsat thematic mapper scenes and geologic maps. Records of a November 1994 storm event acquired from rain gauges along the Nile River and the Red Sea shore were used to generate a spatial precipitation distribution for the study area. A 2 hour design hyetograph was adopted from rain gauge data for the 1994 flood event. The model was tested against records from the November 1994 flood event at the outlets of the Tarfa and Hammamat watersheds. Groundwater recharge rates were estimated for the alluvial aquifers within the major watersheds of the north Eastern Desert. We estimated that during the 1994 flood event, the ground water recharge through transmission losses ranged from 21 to 31% (Tarfa: 15.8×106 m3; Asyuti: 20×m3, Qena: 49×m3, Hammamat: 59×m3) of the precipitated volume. The initial losses ranged from 65 to 77%. Only 3–7% of the precipitation reached the watershed outlets. Archival data show that rainfall events of the size of the November 1994 storm or larger occur every 40 months; thus, the annual recharge rates for the Tarfa, Asyuti, Qena, and Hammamat alluvial aquifers are estimated at 4.7×m3, 6×m3, 14.7×m3, and 17.7×m3, respectively. Implications for the use of these renewable ground waters and similar water resources in other arid areas of Egypt and in neighboring countries are clear.; We constructed a hydrologic model to estimate the groundwater recharge rate for alluvial aquifers of the Eastern Desert from sporadic precipitation over the Red Sea hills.

All species occurred across a range of habitats, with most individuals captured from lagoons. Tilapia rendalli, a macrophyte feeder, was the only dietary specialist. Ontogenetic diet shifts were not observed over the size range examined (30–320 mm LS). Algae were uncommon in tilapiine diets. Tilapia ruweti, the smallest tilapiine in the region, was the only species that consumed more algae (filamentous algae) than detritus. Oreochromis andersonii, Oreochromis macrochir and Tilapia sparrmanii had high dietary overlap and occurred in the same habitats in similar relative abundances. High overlap in habitat use and diet among tilapiines contrasted with findings from a comparable analysis of predatory haplochromine cichlids of the region that revealed strong ecological segregation and niche complementarity during the annual descending-water phase.; Habitat use and diets of five tilapiine populations of the Upper Zambezi River Basin in Zambia, south-central Africa, were examined during the 8 month descending phase of the annual hydrological cycle.

We used our existing DNA diagnostic signature prediction pipeline, which selects regions of a target species genome that are conserved among strains of the target (for reliability, to prevent false negatives) and unique relative to other species (for specificity, to avoid false positives). We performed simulations, based on existing sequence data, to assess the number of genome sequences of a target species and of close phylogenetic relatives (near neighbors) that are required to predict diagnostic signature regions that are conserved among strains of the target species and unique relative to other bacterial and viral species. For DNA viruses such as variola (smallpox), three target genomes provide sufficient guidance for selecting species-wide signatures. Three nearneighbor genomes are critical for species specificity. In contrast, most RNA viruses require four target genomes and no near-neighbor genomes, since lack of conservation among strains is more limiting than uniqueness. Severe acute respiratory syndrome and Ebola Zaire are exceptional, as additional target genomes currently do not improve predictions, but near-neighbor sequences are urgently needed. Our results also indicate that double-stranded DNA viruses are more conserved among strains than are RNA viruses, since in most cases there was at least one conserved signature candidate for the DNA viruses and zero conserved signature candidates for the RNA viruses KW - Diseases / pathogens KW - Microbiology / biotechnology KW - Biochemistry / molecular biology KW - Techniques / apparatus / gear / methods KW - Africa KW - Zaire KW - Diseases / pathogens KW - Microbiology / biotechnology KW - Biochemistry / molecular biology KW - Techniques / apparatus / gear / methods KW - Africa KW - Zaire KW - pathogenic viruses KW - diagnosis KW - gene sequence analysis KW - dna signatures KW - predictions KW - rna viruses KW - ebola virus KW - target genomes KW - strains KW - signature candidates KW - plum pox virus KW - vaccines KW - sars virus UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=791200&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Kuiken, C.

The approach uses high accuracy mass measurements from Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR) to validate peptide 'accurate mass tags' (AMTs) produced by global protein enzymatic digestions for a specific organism, tissue or cell type from 'potential mass tags' tentatively identified using conventional tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This provides the basis for subsequent measurements without the need for MS/ MS. High resolution capillary liquid chromatography separations combined with high sensitivity, and high resolution accurate FTICR measurements are shown to be capable of characterizing peptide mixtures of more than 10(5) components. The strategy has been initially demonstrated using the microorganisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Deinococcus radiodurans. Advantages of the approach include the high confidence of protein identification, its broad proteome coverage, high sensitivity, and the capability for stableisotope labeling methods for precise relative protein abundance measurements.

Author Affiliation: Biosciences Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439, USA 1; AB - MEDLINE Abstract: Although more than 20 different proteins are now associated with the amyloidoses, the fibrils share many properties. Despite disparity in primary and tertiary structures of the subunit proteins, assembled fibrils exhibit similar morphology, binding of Congo red, interaction with Thioflavine T, formation of complexes with serum amyloid P component, apolipoprotein E, several glycosaminoglycans, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and cross-recognition by some monoclonal antibodies. Thus, it is probable that the mechanism of amyloid generation involves a generic process that can be evoked by most, if not all, proteins under conditions that degrade the native conformation. As suggested by others, the beta-helix or beta-roll conformation may be the unifying element of fibril conformations. Several proteins that have evolved to form physiologically useful amyloid-like fibrils, as well as some proteins associated with pathological amyloidoses, exhibit sequence repeat patterns that may facilitate beta-roll or beta-helix formation. Threading analyses of 2 natural amyloid-forming proteins, curli and human Pmel 17, indicate compatibility of their primary structures with both beta sandwich and beta-helix conformations, suggesting a possible innate conformational pliability. In addition, these results may suggest that the misfolded form of some proteins that are associated with conformational disease may be the native conformation of other proteins to which they are linked by evolution. Finally, since many matrix and structural proteins are known to incorporate numerous tandem repeat sequence elements, we propose that the mechanism of fibril formation is fundamentally related to a general protein assembly process that is integral to the generation of cells and tissues UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=15678758&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Griffith, J S TI - Annulus formation and growth of tigerfish, Hydrocynus vittatus, in Lake Bangweulu, Zambia JO - American Fisheries Society.

The HIV-1 subtype B env V3-V5 sequences from four homosexual men clustered phylogenetically, with a median nucleotide distance of 2.8%, reflecting a recent common origin. These early U.S. HIV-1 env variants mapped close to the phylogenetic root of the subtype B tree while env variants collected in the United States throughout the 1980s and 1990s showed, on average, increasing genetic diversity and divergence from the subtype B consensus sequence. These results indicate that the majority of HIV-1 currently circulating in the United States may be descended from an initial introduction and rapid spread during the mid- to late 1970s of subtype B viruses with limited variability (i.e., a founder effect). As expected from the starburst-shaped phylogeny of HIV-1 subtype B, contemporary U.S. strains were, on average, more closely related at the nucleic acid and amino acid levels to the earlier 1978-1979 env variants than to each other. The growing levels of HIV-1 genetic diversity, one of multiple obstacles in designing a protective vaccine, may therefore be mitigated by using epidemic founding variants as antigenic strains for protection against contemporary strains KW - Bacteria / Fungi / Viruses KW - Microbiology / Biotechnology KW - Medical Science KW - Genetics / Strains / Stock identification KW - Phylogeny / Evolution KW - Distribution / Biogeography KW - North America KW - United States KW - New Mexico KW - Bacteria / Fungi / Viruses KW - Microbiology / Biotechnology KW - Medical Science KW - Genetics / Strains / Stock identification KW - Phylogeny / Evolution KW - Distribution / Biogeography KW - North America KW - United States KW - New Mexico KW - genetic diversity KW - genetic divergence KW - hiv subtype b KW - founder effects KW - limited variability KW - phylogenetic trees KW - phylogeography KW - phylogeny bursts KW - hiv strains KW - hiv divergence KW - hiv distribution KW - hiv mutations KW - hiv genetic variation KW - geographical distributions KW - hiv spread KW - hiv epidemic KW - antigenic strains KW - nucleic acid relationships KW - amino acid genes KW - hiv-1 [human immunodeficiency virus type 1] UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=968521&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Kaszuba, J.P.

Author Affiliation: [2004] - Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, MSIN K8-96, P O Box 999, Richland, WA 99352, USA 1; AB - NATCHA Abstract: The Bemidji aquifer in Minnesota, USA is a well-studied site of subsurface petroleum contamination. The site contains an anoxic groundwater plume where soluble petroleum constituents serve as an energy source for a region of methanogenesis near the source and bacterial Fe(III) reduction further down gradient. Methanogenesis apparently begins when bioavailable Fe(III) is exhausted within the sediment. Past studies indicate that Geobacter species and Geothrix fermentens-like organisms are the primary dissimilatory Fe-reducing bacteria at this site. The Fe mineralogy of the pristine aquifer sediments and samples from the methanogenic (source) and Fe(III) reducing zones were characterized in this study to identify microbiologic changes to Fe valence and mineral distribution, and to identify whether new biogenic mineral phases had formed. Methods applied included X-ray diffraction; X-ray fluorescence (XRF); and chemical extraction; optical, transmission, and scanning electron microscopy; and Mossbauer spectroscopy. All of the sediments were low in total Fe content (ÿ 1%) and exhibited complex Fe-mineralogy. The bulk pristine sediment and its sand, silt, and clay-sized fractions were studied in detail. The pristine sediments contained Fe(II) and Fe(III) mineral phases. Ferrous iron represented approximately 50% of Fe TOT. The relative Fe(II) concentration increased in the sand fraction, and its primary mineralogic residence was clinochlore with minor concentrations found as a ferroan calcite grain cement in carbonate lithic fragments. Fe(III) existed in silicates (epidote, clinochlore, muscovite) and Fe(III) oxides of detrital and authigenic origin. The detrital Fe(III) oxides included hematite and goethite in the form of mm-sized nodular concretions and smaller-sized dispersed crystallites, and euhedral magnetite grains. Authigenic Fe(III) oxides increased in concentration with decreasing particle size through the silt and clay fraction. Chemical extraction and Mossbauer analysis indicated that this was a ferrihydrite like-phase. Quantitative mineralogic and Fe(II/III) ratio comparisons between the pristine and contaminated sediments were not possible because of textural differences. However, comparisons between the texturally-similar source (where bioavailable Fe(III) had been exhausted) and Fe(III) reducing zone sediments (where bioavailable Fe(III) remained) indicated that dispersed detrital, crystalline Fe(III) oxides and a portion of the a...

It is high in elevation, enclosed by highlands and mountain ranges, and nearly a closed hydrologic system. The ecosystem has a history of dramatic change and human occupation. Fifty-year sequences were assembled for data on human population density, lake water quality, physical limnology, fish community composition, and fishery yield. In a three-decade period Lake Victoria displayed massive ecosystem change thought to span an original intact system to one foundering in unanticipated ways. Three hypotheses have been advanced to explain the changes: disrupted food web and nutrient cycling, intensified human land use and pollutant runoff, and altered atmospheric and climatic conditions. Convincing evidence supporting and refuting each of these mechanisms has been reported. Less scrutiny has been focused on the hypothesis that all three mechanisms could have acted in concert provoking a complete ecosystem restructuring like that seen in other large lakes under stress. By displaying system measurements in a comparable manner, the nature of ecosystem change appears to fit a state transition form and a product of interacting mechanisms KW - rivers / lakes KW - ecology KW - anthropogenic impact KW - Africa KW - Lake Victoria KW - rivers / lakes KW - ecology KW - anthropogenic impact KW - Africa KW - Lake Victoria KW - anthropogenic alterations KW - freshwater environment KW - freshwater lakes KW - lake ecology KW - lake habitats KW - lakes KW - land use activities KW - limnological changes KW - limnology KW - water quality UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=NATCHA-291116&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - McNab, W.W.

Equilibrium strategists with high investment per offspring are particularly well represented in lakes, and, to a lesser degree, rivers. At the level of local species assemblages, life history strategies are associated with the degree of habitat and/or resource stability and predictability. Life history strategies interact with environmental variation, both abiotic and biotic, to yield varying degrees of density-dependent population regulation. Fishes inhabiting habitats spanning the lateral gradient of floodplain rivers illustrate a strong gradient of density-dependent population regulation. Pantodon buchholzi and other taxa that possess little population resilience to habitat alteration are sensitive indicators of environmental impacts and biodiversity loss. African fishes provide particularly strong examples of resource partitioning and ecomorphological diversification. Population and food web changes in response to non-indigenous piscivores provide clear examples of negative impacts of invasive species. A variety of human-induced impacts simplify the complex structure of river and lake food webs, generally to the detriment of diverse subsistence fishery resources. Overfishing, a problem throughout the African continent, affects not only fish stocks, but also could have serious consequences for aquatic ecosystem productivity. Knowledge of aquatic ecosystem patterns and processes is almost universally lacking in Africa, and a great deal of research is needed before environmental impacts completely obliterate our ability to estimate ecological dynamics under inferred natural conditions KW - fish KW - freshwater environments KW - ecology KW - conservation KW - Africa KW - fish KW - freshwater environments KW - ecology KW - conservation KW - Africa KW - anthropogenic alterations KW - anthropogenic impacts KW - environment management KW - fish ecology KW - fish habitat KW - freshwater fish KW - resource conservation KW - resource management UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=NATCHA-255925&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Rodgers, R.P.

A literature search and conversations with active researchers showed that it is currently possible to develop preliminary exposure guidelines for steady magnetic fields. An overview of the results of past research into the bioeffects of magnetic fields was compiled, along with a discussion of hazards that may be encountered by people with sickle-cell anemia or medical electronic and prosthetic implants. The LLNL steady magnetic-field exposure guidelines along with a review of developments concerning the safety of time-varying fields were also presented in this compilation. Guidelines developed elsewhere for time varying fields were also given. Further research is needed to develop exposure standards for both steady or time-varying fields UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=3434538&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Makundi, W.R.

Participatory ergonomic intervention techniques have proven to be beneficial in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. The participatory approach to ergonomics has also been found to be a useful application within industrialized (developed) countries and industrially developing countries (IDCs). Grassroots Ergonomics principles utilize expertise within a workforce that focuses on participatory ergonomics interpretations of quantitative and qualitative risk and exposure assessment information that in turn results in a peer-developed ergonomics training. Regardless of the intricacy of the exposure assessment tools, workers should fully assist in gathering and analyzing data, then in identifying and implementing solutions. A coordinated and multidisciplinary application of this approach within IDCs would succeed in the creation and sharing of job-specific ergonomics training information for high physical exposure professions, such as agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining, and small-scale enterprises, to initiate ergonomics programs regionally UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=11378149&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Thornton, E.C.

HMA showed the presence of 14 subtype E (CRF01_AE) and 2 subtype B HIV-1. Phylogenetic analysis of a 540-bp V3-V4 region of gp120 showed that 9 of 10 CRF01_AE variants clustered tightly with a median distance of 1.3% (range, 0.5 to 2.2%) whereas 1 CRF01_AE variant diverged significantly from the others (median distance, 10.7%; range, 10.1 to 11.8%). One subtype B virus envelope was typical of United States/European strains whereas the other appeared to be related to Thai subtype B' variants. These results reflect the independent introduction of multiple HIV-1 strains into West Papua, with the rapid spread in the majority of infected patients tested of a single strain of HIV-1E (CRF01_AE) KW - Medical Science KW - Genetics / Strains / Stock identification KW - Bacteria / Fungi / Viruses KW - Diseases / Pathogens KW - Phylogeny / Evolution KW - Biochemistry / Molecular biology KW - Physiology / Biology KW - Asia KW - Indonesia KW - Medical Science KW - Genetics / Strains / Stock identification KW - Bacteria / Fungi / Viruses KW - Diseases / Pathogens KW - Phylogeny / Evolution KW - Biochemistry / Molecular biology KW - Physiology / Biology KW - Asia KW - Indonesia KW - hiv distribution KW - hiv transmission KW - hiv origins KW - phylogenetic analyses KW - env gene sequencing KW - dna sequence analyses KW - hiv strains KW - hiv [human immunodeficiency virus] KW - gag genes KW - hiv diversity UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=962765&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Wampler, J M AU - Smith, D H AU - Cameron, A E TI - Isotopic comparison of lead in tektites with lead in earth materials JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta PY - 1969/01/01/ VL - 33 IS - 9 SP - 1045 EP - 1055 SN - 00167037 AV - Elsevier Science Ltd: The Boulevard, Langford Lane, East Park, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, United Kingdom AV - Pergamon Press Ltd N1 - Database Contributor: NATURAL & CULTURAL HERITAGE OF AFRICA NATCHA.

Author Affiliation: [1969] - Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332 USA 1; Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830 USA 2; AB - NATCHA Abstract: Lead samples from moldavites and from Ries glass are isotopically similar, except that the Ries glass tends to be slightly enriched in the radiogenic lead isotopes relative to moldavites. The lead in these materials is similar to the lead found in oceanic sediments and falls on the growth curves typical of most terrestrial rock and ore lead samples. This is true of lead in other tektite groups, with one exception. Lead from Ivory Coast tektites does not fall on the growth trend of modern terrestrial lead. Lead samples from Bosumtwi Crater dark glass and from the gray phyllite (country rock) at Bosumtwi Crater are similarly displaced from the typical growth trend. These features may be explained in terms of lead isotopic development over long periods of time in environments which differ somewhat from the normal in terms of relative U, Th, and Pb abundances, which suggests that the tektites as well as the impact glass were derived from the Precambrian rocks at Bosumtwi Crater. High U/Pb ratios (U-238/Pb-204 > 20) were found in all tektites analysed, indicating enrichment of U relative to Pb either at the time of tektite formation or within a time period not exceeding a few hundred million years prior to tektite formation. Lower U/Pb ratios were found in the impact glasses. Lead samples from a bediasite and a Georgia tektite are the same, isotopically, and similar to lead from other tektite groups (except the Ivory Coast tektites) KW - Geology KW - Chemistry KW - Africa KW - Ivory Coast KW - Geology KW - Chemistry KW - Africa KW - Ivory Coast KW - bediasite KW - bosumtwi crater KW - georgia tektite KW - impact glasses KW - moldavites KW - phyllite KW - precambrian rocks KW - radiogenic lead isotopes KW - ries glass KW - tektites KW - terrestrial lead KW - thorium KW - uranium KW - uranium enrichment KW - uranium lead ratios UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=NATCHA-862666&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - CONF AU - Ying, T.-Y.

Tissue samples were collected from deer and elk accidentally killed near Area G and were analyzed for H-3, Sr-90, total U, Pu-238, Pu-239,240, Am-241, and Cs-137. These data were used to estimate human doses based on meat consumption of 23 kg/y. Human doses were also modeled using RESRAD, and dose rates to deer and elk were estimated with a screening model. Dose estimates to humans from tissue consumption were 2.9 x 10E-3 mSv/y and 1.6 x 10E-3 mSv/y from deer and elk, respectively, and RESRAD dose estimates were of the same order of magnitude. Estimated dose rates to deer and elk were 2.1 x 10E-4 mGy/d and 4.7 x 10E-4 mGy/d, respectively.

This water flows from southwest to northeast and discharges at oases. Recharge occurred during one or more humid climate episodes that prevailed during the late Pleistocene, but significant widespread recharge does not occur presently. D/H and O-18/O-16 ratios are much lower than those of modern precipitation in the region. We have obtained preliminary AMS data for Cl-36 and C-14, providing new constraints on the residence time of the water. An expedition in May 2002 will sample for comprehensive environmental isotope tracer analyses including further Cl-36 and C-14 measurements by AMS, noble gases and other stable isotopes, as well as Kr-85 and Kr-81 measurements by magneto-optical atom-trapping methods (Chen et al., 1999). Cl-36/Cl ratios vary from 33 x 10E-15 to 228 x 10E-15 and generally decrease along flow direction. Residence times calculated from these data can exceed 800 ka, depending on model assumptions, but conservative assumptions yield a range of about 100 to 400 ka. C-14 activities (0.08 to 1.84 pm C) are mostly at background, consistent with Cl-36 model ages, but two samples had measurable 14C that may indicate some recent recharge. The C-14 in these two samples correlates with dissolved oxygen. Other recent work on the Nubian aquifer waters (Dabous and Osmond, 2001) indicates that the upper portion of the aquifer has a component of recent, relatively saline recharge. Therefore, our intercomparison of Cl-36 and Kr-81 will focus on water sampled from the lower portion of the aquifer, which represents the more ancient recharge component KW - Subsurface water / groundwater environments KW - Chemistry KW - Bibliography KW - Desert environments KW - Africa KW - Egypt KW - Subsurface water / groundwater environments KW - Chemistry KW - Bibliography KW - Desert environments KW - Africa KW - Egypt KW - aquifer waters KW - freshwater reservoirs KW - groundwater discharge KW - groundwater geochemistry KW - groundwater recharge KW - oases KW - sandstone aquifers UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=NATCHA-863100&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Conrad, M.E.

These models represent typical analytically based tools that are used in human-risk and endangerment assessments at installations containing radioactive and hazardous contaminants. The objective is to demonstrate an approach for developing an adequate source term by simplifying an existing, real-world, 90Sr plume at DOE's Hanford installation in Richland, WA, for use in a multimedia benchmarking exercise between MEPAS, MMSOILS, PRESTO, and RESRAD. Source characteristics and a release mechanism are developed and described; also described is a typical process and procedure that an analyst would follow in developing a source term for using this class of analytical tool in a preliminary assessment.

Author Affiliation: Biological and Medical Research Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois 60439 1; AB - MEDLINE Abstract: Cholera and the related Escherichia coli-associated diarrheal disease are important problems confronting Third World nations and any area where water supplies can become contaminated. The disease is extremely debilitating and may be fatal in the absence of treatment. Symptoms are caused by the action of cholera toxin, secreted by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, or by a closely related heat-labile enterotoxin, produced by Escherichia coli, that causes a milder, more common traveler's diarrhea. Both toxins bind receptors in intestinal epithelial cells and insert an enzymatic subunit that modifies a G protein associated with the adenylate cyclase complex. The consequent stimulated production of cyclic AMP, or other factors such as increased synthesis of prostaglandins by intoxicated cells, initiates a metabolic cascade that results in the excessive secretion of fluid and electrolytes characteristic of the disease. The toxins have a very high degree of structural and functional homology and may be evolutionarily related. Several effective new vaccine formulations have been developed and tested, and a growing family of endogenous cofactors is being discovered in eukaryotic cells. The recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of the heat-labile enterotoxin has provided an opportunity to examine and compare the correlations between structure and function of the two toxins. This information may improve our understanding of the disease process itself, as well as illuminate the role of the toxin in studies of signal transduction and G-protein function UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=1480112&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Martinez, G.

Author Affiliation: 2003 Year - University of Californie, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545, MS E518, USA 1; AB - HEALTHLIT Abstract: Water scarcity is a problem facing the arid southwest portion of the United States. Compounding the scarcity issue is the fact that much of the water is also of poor quality. In recent years, the quest for sources of fresh water has intensified as the realization of the potential for long-term water shortages becomes a reality. This paper examines the definition of "fresh" water as a function of the end use of the water, i.e. human consumption, environmental release, or reuse for industrial or municipal applications. It is within this context that a discussion of the term "fresh" is evaluated as a defining criterion for potential sources. The technology to produce good quality water from poor quality sources exists. However, factors other than technology often control the decision making as to whether to treat a water source of poor quality, or continue to look for a source of higher quality. Some of these factors are: public acceptance, environmental impact, regulations, economics, human health risks, regional issues, political issues. The specific case discussed here uses a wastewater source that is highly controversial by its very nature, as it contains radionuclides and other industrial contaminants. The factors leading to this source being considered are as follows: (1) the municipal water production wells are 1500-2000 ft. 457.5-610 m) below the surface making production costly; (2) the groundwater quantity is limited and recharge is extremely slow; and, (3) the groundwater has a high level of naturally occurring silica (80-120 mg/l The case facility, located in western portion of the United States, treats an average of 15,000 gpd (57 cubic m/d through the use of chemical precipitation, sand filtration, ultrafiltration, ion exchange and reverse osmosis. The secondary waste (reject or concentrate) from this treatment process is further treated with electrodialysis-reversal and mechanical evaporation. The product from this facility is currently discharged, by regulatory permit, to the environment.

These embayments are areas where the regulatory flexibility allowed by a water bubble policy could help improve overall water quality. With a bubble concept regulators can control the total pollutant load discharged within a bubble area while allowing flexibility in the pollutant load from each discharge point. The bubble area can be one facility, a group of facilities or a region. The bubble concept in environmental regulations has been utilized under the Clean Air Act, and a bubble policy was recently introduced under the Clean Water Act. A water bubble policy provides flexibility that can reduce control costs and encourage faster compliance as well as allow effluent discharges to be tailored to beneficial uses within the discharge's area of influence (e.g., swimming, shell fishing, aquatic ecology, etc.). San Francisco Bay in California represents an area with potential for benefiting from several variations of the water bubble concept. The City of San Francisco's combined storm-water and sanitary overflow discharges will be used as an example of how tradeoffs between costs and improved water quality were used to determine the number of overflows permitted at a time when a regulatory bubble policy did not exist. How a bubble policy could have improved this decision process will be discussed KW - Water quality KW - Fieldwork / field experiments / monitoring KW - Marine environments KW - Ecology KW - Waste Water KW - Pollution / contamination KW - Illustrations KW - Bibliography KW - Crustacea KW - North America KW - United States KW - Water quality KW - Fieldwork / field experiments / monitoring KW - Marine environments KW - Ecology KW - Waste Water KW - Pollution / contamination KW - Illustrations KW - Bibliography KW - Crustacea KW - North America KW - United States KW - clean water act KW - shellfish KW - pesticides KW - heavy metals KW - crab KW - salmon KW - sanitary discharge KW - regulation KW - embayments KW - water bubble KW - san francisco [map] KW - stormwater KW - effluent UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=851615-2&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - CONF AU - Gadgil, A.

N2 - A conditional lethal mutation allows survival and growth of a cell or organism under one (permissive) set of environmental conditions but not under a different (restrictive) set. Temperature-sensitive conditional mutations can be induced in insects by irradiation and by a variety of chemicals (for example by ethyl methane-sulphonate), and the author describes and discusses work in this connection with Bracon (Habrobracon) serinopae (Cherian) and Drosophila. At present, most of the mutations of this type that have been induced are recessive, but it is pointed out that dominant conditional mutations have been induced in some micro-organisms and insects. Many types of induced conditional dominant lethal mutations would undoubtedly be useful for the control of insect populations. Mutations could be selected on the basis of temperature sensitivity; these could be either ' hot ' or ' cold ' mutations for use under different climatic conditions. Other mutants could be produced that would not feed on their natural food-plant but only on an artificial diet; these might have defective mouth-parts or possess some form of chemical-sensitive mechanism. Similarly, a mutant might be induced that could change the feeding habits of a population so that it fed on some economically unimportant food source instead of its primary source.

Language: English. N2 - guineapigs sensitized once or hypersensitized 4 times at 14-day intervals in the footpads with Trichinella extract emulsified in complete adjuvant were examined for serum antibody content and tissue cellular changes. The following modifications were found in the 2 groups. Those sensitized, when homolpgously skin tested at one week, showed a typical delayed hypersensitivity reaction, whereas the hypersensitized group, when similarly skin tested 2 weeks after the 4th injection, showed an accelerated reaction which appeared somewhat like the Arthrus type. The difference in skin reactivity of the 2 groups was not associated with the kind of cells present at the site but rather with a marked difference in antibody content of the serum and in the absolute and relative number of mono-nuclear cells present at the site and in the lymph nodes. The cellular content of the subcutaneous tissue at the site of the skin test was characteristic of delayed hypersensitivity in both groups as evidenced by a predominant perivascular infiltration of mononuclear cells. The hypersensitized group, as compared with the sensitized group, showed more circulating antibody, as measured by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and the precipitin ring test, a greater proportion, as compared with small lymphocytes, of medium and large lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells and eosinophils, a greater antibody content per mononuclear cell in the lymph nodes, as measured by fluorescent staining, and more deaths (50% vs 0%) when tested by active systemic anaphylaxis. The 4 differences between the sensitized and hypersensitized groups were evident whether the groups were homo-logously skin tested or not. Primed lymphocytes when incubated for 5 days in vitro with the Trichinella antigen showed more transformation into "blast-like" cells in the skin tested as compared with the non-skin tested groups of both sensitized "and hypersensitized guineapigs, but there was no difference between the sensitized and hyper-sensitized groups.

This insecticide is very effective as a stomach poison against Solenopsis spp., but its use is being restricted owing to the discovery of adverse effects in mammals, which do not metabolise it; these effects include liver damage and hepatomas in mice, reduced litter size and a high incidence of cataract in the offspring of treated rats, and symptoms similar to those of DDT poisoning in both rats and mice. The extreme persistence of mirex in the natural environment provides an opportunity for its accumulation in the food-chain.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Serum concentrations of the 3 main components of total high-density lipoprotein (HDL), HDL2b, d 1.063 to 1.100 g/ml, HDL2a,d 1.100 to 1.125 g/ml and HDL3, d 1.125 to 1.200 g/ml, were estimated in 160 clinically screened subjects from a normal population sample. The estimation involved graphically fitting reference ultracentrifugal schlieren patterns for each of the 3 components to the subjects' total HDL schlieren patterns with the aid of a computer. The mean error of fitting all 3 references patterns was low, 9 plus or minus 8% (s.d.) of total area. Mean serum HDL2b and HDL2a values were significantly higher in women than in men for each of the 4 age decades surveyed, 27 to 36, 37 to 46, 47 to 56 and 57 to 66 years. Mean HDL3 serum values were slightly higher in men than in women for the population as a whole. Regression of HDL2b, HDL2a and HDL3 values on each other and on total HDL serum concentration showed 2 sex-independent trends: HDL3 was negatively correlated with HDL2b, not correlated with HDL2a, and was relatively constant, mean 158 plus or minus 30 (s.d.) mg/100 ml. HDL2b and HDL2a were highly correlated and showed a progressive build up with increasing total HDL. As HDL2b and HDL2a account mostly for the differences in total HDL values observed, it is suggested that they may be the critical HDL components determining the inverse correlation of HDL cholesterol with coronary heart disease.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The radiological concerns associated with phosphogypsum utilization as a substitute for natural gypsum in agriculture have been placed in perspective by considering the consequences of a hypothetical case involving heavy long term applications of phosphogypsum. Such a schedule might consist of an initial gypsum application of 10 tons/acre followed by alternate year applications of 5 tons/acre. If the radium content of the gypsum were 15 pCi/g and the till depth 6 inches, this schedule could be maintained for > 100 years before the radium buildup in the soil would reach a proposed federal concentration limit of 5 pCi/g. An agricultural worker spending 40 hrs a week in a field containing 5 pCi/g of radium would be exposed to terrestrial radiation of approx equal to 7 mu R/hr above background. This exposure would result in an annual radiation dose of approx equal to 15 mrem, which is 3% of the recommended limit for an individual working in an uncontrolled area. Five pCi/g of radium in the soil could generate airborne radon daughter concentrations exceeding the concentration limit proposed for residential exposure. However, as residential exposure limits are predicated on 75% of continuous occupancy, these limits should not be applied to agricultural workers because of the seasonal nature of their work. Radium uptake by food crops grown in the hypothetical soil would result in a 50 year integrated dose to the bone surface of 1.4 rem. This dose is conservatively based on the assumption that an adult's total vegetable diet comes from this source and that consumption was continuous during the 50 year period. For comparison individuals in unrestricted areas are permitted annual radiation doses to the bone of about 2 rem. Land use conversion from agricultural to residential has a potential for concern, since soil containing 5 pCi/g of radium can generate airborne concentrations of radon daughters in buildings which exceed the federal guidance for residential occupancy.[TVA] KW - amendments KW - byproducts KW - fertilizer technology KW - Phosphogypsum KW - public health KW - radium KW - utilization KW - fertiliser technology KW - Health Services (UU350) KW - Human Health and Hygiene (General) (VV000) (Revised June 2002) [formerly Human Health and Hygiene (General) KW - Plant Ecology (ZZ331) KW - Fertilizers and other Amendments (JJ700) UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lhh&AN=19831974272&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - lhh ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Heterogeneity of serum low density lipoproteins in normal human subjects.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Equilibrium density gradient ultracentrifugation of serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from 12 healthy subjects was used to separate 6 subfractions with mean density from 1.0268 to 1.0597 g/ml. Mean corrected peak flotation rats (Sfo) estimated by analytic ultracentrifugation, and mean particle diameter determined by negative staining electron microscopy, declined significantly with increasing density of the subfractions. Major differences in chemical composition of the subfractions were noted, including a lower triglyceride content and higher ratio of cholesteryl ester to triglyceride in the middle fractions compared with those of highest and lowest density. Concentration of fraction 2 was correlated positively with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and negatively with very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL); concentration of fraction 4 was correlated negatively with HDL and positively with VLDL and LDL. LDL may thus include subspecies of differing structure and composition which might also have different metabolic and artherogenic roles.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The influence of infiltration rate on poliovirus removal during groundwater recharge with tertiary-treated wastewater effluents was studied at a recharge basin through which some 62,000 m3 of sewage had previously been applied. Recharge at high infiltration rates (75 to 100 cm/h) resulted in the movement of considerable numbers of seeded poliovirus to the groundwater. Moderately reduced infiltration rates (6 cm/h) significantly improved virus removal. Very low infiltration rates (0.5 to 1.0 cm/h), achieved by partial clogging of the test basin, yielded the greatest virus removal efficiencies.

A simultaneous equation system is developed to focus on both the short run utilization of electricity and the long run determination of the number of irrigators using electricity. The structural equations are estimated using pooled state level data for the period 1969-1979. In the light of the model's results, the impacts of changes in relative energy prices on irrigation are examined.

After 3 months on the diets, microsomes were prepared from perfused livers and were incubated aerobically in the dark or light. Microsomes from rats deprived of vitamin E treated with visible light showed higher values for the destruction of cytochrome P450 and protohaem, which correlated well with increased values of lipid peroxidation when compared with control microsomes. Those effects were abolished under anaerobiosis. The photoinactivation of NADPH-cytochrome P450-reductase was similar in samples from rats deprived of vitamin E and controls, but was recovered when the cofactor FMN was added and was partly reversed under nitrogen. The results suggest that the photoinactivation of cytochrome P450 is mediated by lipid peroxides, whereas that of NADPH-cytochrome P450-reductase is not. Cytochrome b5 and NADH-cytochrome b5-reductase were not photosensitive.

Young rats were made severely Fe-deficient by a diet with Fe 2 mg/kg. Controls had the same diet with Fe 50 mg/kg. Blood haemoglobin was decreased to 3.6 g/100 ml compared with 13.7 plus or minus 0.6 in controls. The combination of decreased mitochondrial enzyme specific activities and a 30% reduction in the mitochondrial content of muscle resulted in 60 to 80% decreases in muscle oxidative capacities. VO2max and VO2max work load were both 50% lower in deprived rats, whereas endurance capacity was 90% lower in deprived animals than in controls. The control diet was then given to deprived rats. Haemoglobin increased within 3 days in parallel with VO2max and VO2max work load. No significant improvement in mitochondrial bioenergetic functions, mitochondrial content of muscle, muscle oxidative capacity or endurance capacity occurred until the 5th day.

In addition to the highly acidic conditions of the oxidized Maxey Flats trench water, low concentrations of chelating agents, shown to exist in trench waters, may be responsible for keeping radionuclides in solution following oxidation of anoxic trench leachates from Maxey Flats and West Valley burial sites.

Number of References: 47 ref. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Lipoprotein classes isolated from the plasma of 2 patients with apolipoprotein AI (apo AI) and apolipoprotein CIII (apo CIII) deficiency were characterized and compared with those of healthy, age- and sex-matched controls. The plasma triglyceride values for patients 1 and 2 were 31 and 51 mg/100 ml, respectively, and their cholesterol values were 130 and 122 mg/100 ml, respectively; the patients had no measurable high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Analytical ultracentrifuging showed that patients' Sf 0 to 20 lipoproteins possess a single peak with Sf rates of 7.4 and 7.6 for patients 1 and 2, respectively, which is similar to that of the controls. The concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (Sf 0 to 12) particles, although within normal range (331 and 343 mg/100 ml for patients 1 and 2, respectively), was 35% greater than that of controls. Intermediate-density lipoproteins and very-low-density lipoproteins (Sf 20 to 400) were extremely low in the patients. HDL in the patients had a calculated mass of 15.4 and 11.8 mg/100 ml for patients 1 and 2, respectively. No HDL was detected by analytical ultracentrifuging, but polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis (gge) showed that the patients possessed 2 major HDL subclasses: (HDL2b)gge at 11.0 nm and (HDL3b)gge at 7.8 nm. The major peak in the controls, (HDL3a)gge, was lacking in the patients. Gradient gel analysis of LDL indicated that patients' LDL possessed 2 peaks: a major one at 27 nm and a minor one at 26 nm. The electron microscopic structure of patients' lipoprotein fractions was indistinguishable from controls. Patients' HDL were spherical and contained a cholesteryl ester core, which suggests that lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase was functional in the absence of apo AI. The effects of postprandial lipaemia (100-g fat meal) were studied in patient 1. The major changes were the appearance of a 33-nm particle in the LDL density region of 1.036 to 1.041 g/ml and the presence of discoidal particles (12% of total particles) in the HDL region. The latter suggests that transformation of discs to spheres may be delayed in the patient.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Three weeks of dietary iron deficiency in weanling rats resulted in anaemia (haemoglobin 3.9 vs. 14.2 g/100 ml in controls) and decreased oxidative capacities of skeletal muscle (as much as 90% below control values). Whole-animal maximum O2 consumption (VO2max), measured in a brief treadmill run of progressively increasing work load, was about 50% lower for Fe-deficient rats than for controls, and maximum endurance capacity (time to exhaustion in a separate treadmill run at a constant, sub-VO2max work load) was 90% lower for Fe-deficient rats than for controls. Exchange transfusion, with packed erythrocytes or plasma, was used to adjust Hb to an intermediate concentration of about 9.5 g/100 ml in Fe-deficient and control rats. This procedure corrected the VO2max of Fe-deficient rats to within 15% of control values, whereas endurance capacity showed no improvement. Experimental dissociation of VO2max and endurance capacity provides further evidence that VO2max is not the only determinant of endurance. It is proposed that defects in VO2max during Fe deficiency result primarily from diminished O2 delivery, whereas decreased endurance capacity reflects impaired muscle mitochondrial function.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Horticultural Science N2 - Datura innoxia suspension culture cells can be selected for the ability to grow rapidly for extended periods of time in normally toxic concentrations of cadmium ion. Resistance to this toxic heavy metal is correlated with the ability to rapidly synthesize large amounts of one or more low molecular weight, cysteine-rich, metal binding proteins. Resistance to increasing concentrations of cadmium is correlated with both the rate of de novo synthesis and the maximum accumulation of these binding proteins within cadmium resistant cells. The ability of one metal binding protein to tightly bind copper ion suggests that these proteins may normally play a role in trace metal metabolism and transport. Metal binding proteins are not easily detectable in the cadmium sensitive cells from which resistant cells were derived.

Number of References: 17 ref. Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The effectiveness of grouting (the process of forcing a fluid into the void spaces of a soil or rock formation to create a cohesive mass less permeable to water) was studied with seven grout formulations in the laboratory for their ability to penetrate soils and to reduce their hydraulic conductivity in the case of soils used as backfills for shallow land burial trenches. Soils from two sites were used, both of which were classified as Typic Dystrochrepts. Three soluble grout formulations (sodium silicate, polypropenamide [polyacrylamide], and 1,3-Benzenediol [resorcinol]-formaldehyde) were able to penetrate soil or sand columns and reduce hydraulic conductivities from initial values of ca. 10-4 m s-1 to < 10-8 m s-1. Three particulate grouts (lime [calcium oxide]-fly ash, fly ash-cement-bentonite, and bentonite alone) could not penetrate the columns; such formulations would, therefore, be difficult to inject into closed burial trenches. Field demonstrations with sodium silicate and polyacrylamide showed that grout could be distributed throughout a burial trench and that waste-backfill hydraulic conductivity could be reduced several orders of magnitude. Field grouting with polyacrylamide reduced the mean hydraulic conductivity of nine intratrench monitoring wells from 10-4 to 10-8 m s-1.

GSH in skeletal muscle was not <60% of control. Plasma GSH showed an initial transient increase followed by a linear decrease with increased running time of the rats. The results may be particularly relevant when attempting to understand the effects of physical exercise on a large number of cellular and organismal functions that are known or suspected to depend critically on the GSH status of the liver.

Number of References: 22 ref. Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Anaemia and immunosuppression are well-established features of acute malaria. The degree of anaemia is frequently in excess of that attributable to the level of parasitaemia; the reasons are uncertain. Several mechanisms for immunosuppression have been proposed including suppressor cells, failure of macrophages to process antigen and deficiencies in T lymphocytes. Both immune cell lines and erythropoietic cells are derived from common pluripotent stem cells (CFU-S), and the study examined the effect of murine malaria on the production of erythropoietin and the activity of haemopoietic stem cells. Three species of murine malaria parasites were used: Plasmodium vinckei vinckei, P. berghei, and P. chabaudi adami.Plasma erythropoietin levels were normal during early stages of infection and rose towards peak parasitaemia, highest levels being seen in P. berghei infection. Exposure of infected mice, near peak parasitaemia, to hypoxia led to further increases in erythropoietin levels in mice infected with P. vinckei and P. chabaudi but not P. berghei. The authors conclude that the generation of erythropoietin is maximal in acute P. berghei infections and that lack of erythropoietic response in infected mice is not the result of inadequate erythropoietin production. Changes in bone-marrow content were different in the 3 murine malarias. For P. vinckei, a lethal infection in 7-9 days, the cellularity of the femur dropped to 45% of normal, and the stem cell content to 50% of normal. P. berghei initially stimulated stem cell populations even though cellularity of the femur declined, but the numbers of CFU-S declined to 25% of normal at death. In P. chabaudi infections, a decline in cellularity and stem cells at peak parasitaemia had returned to normal levels by day 23. In contrast to the bone-marrow results, in P. chabaudi infections the CFU-S content in the blood and spleen increased during infection and were still elevated on day 23. [As far as I can see, comparable spleen data are not given for the other 2 malarias.]Data from experiments on the uptake of 59Fe by bone marrow and spleen during the course of infection suggest that although there is migration of CFU-S from bone marrow to spleen, there is depressed erythropoietic activity in both bone marrow and spleen, in spite of splenomegaly, and increased cellularity in the spleen.R.S. Phillips<new para>ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:<new para>Groups of female Balb/c mice infected with Plasmodium vinckei vinckei, P. berghei, or P. chabaudi adami were exposed to 5h of simulated altitude equivalent to 22 000 feet. Plasma samples were collected for erythropoietin (EP) bioassay and RIA. Using radioiron incorporation as an index of erythropoiesis, differences in response to infection with different species of Plasmodium were observed. In general, decreases in erythropoietic activity were observed in bone marrow and spleen as the infection progressed and continued to be depressed after apparent resolution of a nonlethal infection with P. c. adami. Marrow from infected and control femurs were tested for haemopoietic stem cells (CFU-S) using the spleen colony assay. The cellularity and CFU-S content of the femoral marrow decreased as the parasitaemia increased. All 3 species stimulated EP production during peak parasitaemias, indicating that adequate amounts of EP are available to the erythron during malarial infection. Depletion of CFU-S and probable lack of compensatory turnover of CFU-S may contribute to the disease characteristics of malaria.

Selenium is found to be mobile under oxidizing conditions encountered in surface water at the Kesterson Reservoir. Selenium is generally immobile under reducing conditions in anoxic bottom muds containing sulfate-reducing bacteria and in the deeper ground water aquifer in which dissolved oxygen is depleted by reaction with iron containing minerals. Local areas of ground water contamination occur in zones of high permeability and in the presence of nitrate. A semiquantitiative relationship exists between aqueous oxidation-reduction potentials and selenium speciation although the mechanisms and kinetics of selenium reduction are not completely understood.

Number of References: 30 ref. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Dairy Science N2 - Changes in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclass distribution were estimated in premature infants (>1000 g birth weight) during early postnatal period. Infants were given a combination of breast milk and formula. Using non-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (gge), cord blood was shown to have predominantly large, less dense (HDL2b)gge and few intermediate-sized (HDL3a)gge particles. Lack of a peak for (HDL3a)gge is characteristic of cord blood, whereas a prominent (HDL3a)gge peak is typical of adult plasma. After the start of enteral feeding, blood was sampled at 6-14 days (sample A) and 17-32 days (sample B) after delivery. Triacylglycerols increased significantly from av. of 34 mg/100 ml in cord blood to 120 mg/100 ml for sample B. Cholesterol levels increased from 86 to 112 mg/100 ml. (HDL2b)gge, (HDL2a2)gge and (HDL3b)gge were redistributed with increasing plasma lipid concn. so that they were detected in sample B at almost equal intensities. A scarcity of (HDL3a)gge particles was found even after onset of enteral feeding, indicating that increases in plasma triacylglycerols and cholesterol per se are not sufficient to induce the adult-like distribution.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Female CF1 mice were bred for 6 consecutive, 42-day cycles of gestation-lactation. Purified diets contained cadmium 0.25, 5.0, or 50.0 mg/kg; at each Cd level, diets were sufficient of deficient in certain vitamins, minerals, and fat. The deficient diet at Cd 5 mg/kg was designed to simulate conditions implicated in the aetiology of itai-itai disease among multiparous women in Japan. Fertility, litter size, pup survival, and pup growth (weaning weight) are reported for mice on the 6 diets during each of the 6 cycles of gestation/lactation. Except for fertility, decreases in reproductive measures that occurred in response to dietary deficiencies or Cd during cycle 1 of reproduction were repeated, unchanged in magnitude, in each successive cycle. For sufficient diet groups, Cd 50 mg/kg had no effect on fertility or pup survival during lactation, but caused a 15% decrease in litter size at birth and a 25% decreased in pup growth. Dietary deficiencies alone decreased all 4 measures of reproductive performance: fertility by 12%, litter size by 30%, pup survival by 18%, and pup growth by 42%. Dietary deficiencies decreased incidence of consecutive pregnancies. combined effects of Cd 50 mg/kg and dietary deficiencies were additive for all reproductive measures except fertility; for fertility, Cd caused no decrease in fertility of sufficient-diet mice, but caused a 45% decrease in deficient-diet mice. Relating results to humans, women who contracted itai-itai disease (analogous to mice on the deficient, Cd 5 mg/kg diet), in addition to their characteristic bone disease, could have experienced decreases in fertility and in growth of their offspring related to their dietary deficiencies. Their diet-related decreases in fertility could have been enhanced by their combined exposure to Cd.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Weeds; Agricultural Entomology N2 - A test to screen chemical protective materials in order to select potential candidates for further testing was examined. The method involved determining the weight and volume changes in materials caused by immersion in the challenge chemical. Simple regression analysis showed that relatively short breakthrough times based on weight change and final thickness could be predicted with 90% confidence. Better results were obtained when discriminant analysis was used to classify breakthrough times greater than either 4 or 8 h as a function of the weight change and final thickness. In 6% or less of the cases, actual breakthrough times were less than 4 or 8 h when the predicted times were greater than these values. Discriminant analysis also was used to classify permeation rates as less than either 90 or 400 mg/m²-min based on weight change and initial thickness. In this case, actual permeation rates less than these were predicted to be greater in 4% and 7% of the cases, respectively.

Subject Subsets: Horticultural Science; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - Suspension cultures of D. innoxia [D. fastuosa] cells were pulse-labelled with [35S]cysteine, then exposed to Cd to determine whether there is a direct precursor-product relationship amongst the different forms of the Cd-induced polypeptides, poly(γ-glutamylcysteinyl)glycines [(γEC)nG, n=2 to 5]. Degradation of the polypeptides and possible regeneration of the [35S]-labelled glutathione and cysteine pools were also examined. After 2 h of exposure to [35S]cysteine, about 70% of the [35S]cysteine in the soluble fraction of the cell was incorporated into [35S]glutathione before exposure of the cells to Cd. One h after Cd exposure, most of the cellular [35S]glutathione was depleted and the label was incorporated into (γEC)nG. Analysis of [35S](γEC)nG by reverse phase HPLC showed no direct precursor-product relationship between the synthesis of the shorter and longer chain forms. However, the rate of synthesis of the different polypeptides was linear for 32 h after Cd exposure. There was no evidence of degradation of [35S](γEC)nG nor was it excreted into the medium within this period. From these results it is suggested that in the presence of Cd, a large pool of (γEC)nG is unavailable for elongation to (γEC)n+1G.

Analysis reveals that the mean value of exposure distributions can be underestimated by using only mean or median values of input parameters without information on their distribution and variance. Much of the overall uncertainty in exposure is attributable to uncertainty in biotransfer factors and the uncertainties in input data limit the precision of exposure predictions to a 90% confidence range of roughly 2 orders of magnitude.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Erythropoiesis in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei and in mice infused with recombinant tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) via implanted osmotic pumps were examined. In both groups of mice there was a reduction of pluripotent stem cells in the bone marrow and a concomitant increase in the spleen, a reduction of erythroid progenitor cells, and a reduced incorporation of 59Fe into erythrocytes. When P. berghei-infected mice were given antiserum against recombinant murine TNF, erythropoiesis was partially restored. There was a significant increase in bone marrow stem cells, erythroid progenitor cells, and 59Fe incorporation into erythrocytes in P. berghei-infected mice that had been treated with anti-TNF. The mechanism of action of TNF in the inhibition of erythropoiesis has not been determined. These results demonstrate that TNF mediates, in part, the anaemia associated with malaria.<new para>ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:<new para>From experiments on BALB/c mice, either infected with Plasmodium berghei or infused with rTNF-α through implanted osmotic pumps, the authors conclude that TNF may play a role in the anaemia of malaria through its ability to inhibit erythropoiesis.Carolyn A.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Using a variety of in vivo cytogenic endpoints, the effects of several compounds formed during the cooking of meat were studied. C57B1/6 mice were used to test for an increase in the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE), chromosomal aberrations and micronucleated erythrocytes by 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (DiMeIQx) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). MeIQx and DiMeIQx did not induce SCE in mouse bone marrow cells. PhIP induced sister-chromatid exchanges, but not chromosomal aberrations, in bone marrow. In peripheral blood lymphocytes, PhIP did induce aberrations at 100 mg/kg, the highest dose tested. PhIP induced a low but significantly increased frequency of micronuclei in normochromatic but not polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow and peripheral blood, but dose responses were not observed. With the exception of the SCE induced by PhIP, the results contrast with observations made in vitro, where these compounds had significant genotoxicity in mammalian cells and a very high mutation frequency in prokaryotic systems.

Subject Subsets: Horticultural Science; Agricultural Biotechnology; Crop Physiology N2 - The induction of DNA synthesis in Datura innoxia [D. fastuosa] cell cultures was determined by flow cytometry. A large fraction of the total population of cells traversed the cell cycle in synchrony when exposed to fresh medium. One hour after transfer to fresh medium, 37% of the cells were found in the process of DNA synthesis. After 24 h of culture, 66% of the cells had accumulated in G2 phase, and underwent cell division simultaneously. Only 10% of the cells remained in G0 or G1. Transfer of cells into a medium, 80% (v/v) of which was conditioned by a sister culture for 2 days, was adequate to inhibit this simultaneous traverse of the cell cycle. A large proportion of dividing cells could be arrested at the G0 + G1/S boundary by exposure to 10 mM hydroxyurea (HU) for 12 to 24 h. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by HU was reversible, and when resuspended into fresh culture medium, synchronized cells resumed the cell cycle. Consequently, a large fraction of the cell population could be obtained in the G2 phase. However, reversal of G1 arrested cells was not complete and a fraction of cells did not initiate DNA synthesis. Seventy-four percent of the cell simultaneously reached 4C DNA content whereas the frequency of cells which remained in G0 + G1 phase was approximately 17%. Incorporation of radioactive precursors into DNA and proteins identified a population of nondividing cells which represents the fraction of cells in G0. The frequency of cells entering G0 was 11% at each generation. The results indicate that almost 100% of the population of dividing cells synchronously traversed the cell cycle following suspension in fresh medium.

Subject Subsets: Animal Nutrition; Human Nutrition N2 - A method for the determination of boron in a variety of biological samples is described. Human plasma, human serum, orchard leaves and total diet were fused with sodium carbonate and boron and separated from matrix components by using Amberlite IRA-743 boron selective ion-exchange resin. Boron was eluted with 1% HNO3 and introduced to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a direct injection nebulizer. This nebulizer provided a fast sample cleanout of about 15 s. The 10B/11B ratio is determined with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.4-1.5%, and the detection limit for boron is about 1 ng/g in these samples. Stable isotope dilution methodology for quantitation of boron showed that: fusion of sample with sodium carbonate avoided volatilization of boron from samples; about 80% of submicrogram amounts of boron from samples were recovered from the resin with insignificant isotopic fractionation; results for biological reference materials were in agreement with certified values; and the boron concentration of pooled human blood plasma was 24±4 µg/litre (95% confidence interval).

A laboratory study was conducted with column lysimeters to determine if humic substance could form under conditions typical of those present during waste water infiltration into natural soil systems. Two soils, sand and silt loam, were used. The soil columns were either unloaded or loaded with tapwater, or septic tank effluent. Monitoring included observations of infiltration capacity and purification efficiency during operation and the changes in soil properties as a result of 60 days of waste water infiltration. It was concluded that humic substances could form in sandy soils during waste water infiltration and that humins were the dominant form. A similar effects was not observed in silt loam soils, due partly to the high initial concentration of these substances in the natural soil and to the short 60-day observation period.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The 1st part of this paper reviews the potent mutagenic and carcinogenic heterocyclic amines that are produced from heated food derived from muscle. These compounds are present at part-per-billon levels, and consist primarily of the amino-imidazoazarene class of chemicals. Additional mutagens present in the meat are not as clearly characterized. Commercial fried-beef patties (hamburgers) have low levels of 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (4,8-DiMeIQx), 0.1-0.68 ng/g meat for MeIQx and slightly lower for 4,8-DiMeIQx. The formation of these heterocyclic amines can be reduced by microwave pretreatment of meat, with the resulting liquid being poured off before frying. Experiments at the authors' laboratory indicated that the Ames/Salmonella mutagenic activity was reduced to 5-10% of that of non-microwave-treated samples. MeIQx and DiMeIQx concentrations were reduced to 12 and 50% of levels in the non-microwave-treated samples, respectively. MeIQx adducts, as measured by accelerator mass spectrometry, were found to be linear with doses from 5 mg/kg to 500 ng/kg. Linear DNA binding at low doses is important for assuming linear risk estimation from the high animal-feeding doses causing cancer to the low human-dietary exposures. Extrapolating from the rodent TD50 dose to humans gives a maximum credible risk from consumption of heterocyclic amines of approximately 1/1000 exposed individuals.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazole[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a heterocyclic amine rodent carcinogen that is found in cooked meat. The bioavailability and fate of this heterocyclic amine at a human dietary equivalent dose was assessed using the high sensitivity offered by accelerator mass spectrometry. [2-14C] PhIP was administered to male mice (41 ng/kg) by gavage. Tissues and excreta were collected over the subsequent 96 h. 100% of the administered dose was excreted in urine (90%) and faeces (10%) during the study. Absorption of the radiocarbon-tagged PhIP from the gastrointestinal tract was rapid, with radiocarbon values peaking in whole blood and urine within 1 h of exposure. Faecal 14C values peaked at 12 h. Tissue values peaked at 3 h with highest concentration of radiolabel in the intestine, stomach and liver, followed by the kidney, pancreas, lung and spleen. Low concentrations of 14C from PhIP could be detected in the tissues 48-96 h after exposure, possibly due to covalent binding to protein or DNA. The calculated half-life of PhIP at this concentration was 1.14 h.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agricultural Entomology N2 - A protocol to determine whole-blood ChE activity using an automated high-speed centrifugal analyser was developed. Throughput rate was increased 10-fold (from 6 to 60 samples/h) and precision, as measured by a reduction in intra-aliquot variation, was significantly improved (from 4.7 to 3.0%) by using the automated system. Similar ChE activity was determined for samples analysed by both the automated and manual protocols, and interlaboratory comparison indicated no change in accuracy.

N2 - A major antigen of B. burgdorferi is a 31 kDa lipoprotein called outer surface protein A (OspA). Recently, a truncated form of OspA (lacking 17 amino acids at the N-terminus) was cloned, expressed and purified in large quantities. The truncated protein (OspA-257) is water soluble, retains the ability to bind antibodies from the sera of Lyme disease patients and may prove useful in development of a vaccine against Lyme disease. In this study, far UV circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the secondary structure of OspA-257. CD spectra from 260-178 nm predict 5 classes of secondary structure: α-helix (11%), anti-parallel β-sheet (32%), parallel β-sheet (10%), β-turns (18%) and aperiodic structures (including 'random coil') (30%).. Analysis of the primary sequence of OspA yielded the most likely sites for α-helical regions (residues 100-107, 121-134, 253-273) and for antigenic determinants (Lys-46, Asp-82, Lys-231). CD spectra of the native protein show little change from pH 3 to 11. Thermal denaturation curves, indicate that 'salt bridges' play a role in stabilizing the native protein. Both thermal and chemical denaturations which eliminate all secondary structure as judged by CD or fluorescence are reversible. Denaturation by guanidine-HCl (gdn-HCl) appears to be a cooperative 2-stage transition, as indicated by a sudden change in the CD spectrum at ~0.75 M gdn-HCl, and an isodichroic point at 208 nm in all CD spectra measured from 0.0-1.75 M gdn-HCl.

Problems occur when the briquettes are ignited and it is recommended that this operation be done outdoors and that the stove be carried indoors after initial smoke emissions subside.

Language: English. Number of References: 34 ref. Subject Subsets: Biofuels; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - Novel, laboratory-scale, high-solids reactors operated under mesophilic conditions were used to study the anaerobic fermentation of processed municipal solid waste (MSW) to methane. Product gas rate data were determined for organic loading rates ranging from 2.99-18.46 g of volatile solids (VS)/litre per d. The data represent the anaerobic fermentation at high-solids levels within the reactor of 21-32%, while feeding a refuse-derived fuel (RDF)/MSW feedstock supplemented with a vitamin/mineral/nutrient solution. The average biogas yield was 0.59 litre biogas/g VS added to the reactor system/d. The average methane composition of the biogas produced was 57.2%. The data indicate a linear relationship of increasing total biogas production with increasing organic loading rate to the process. The max. organic loading rate obtainable with high-solids anaerobic digestion is in the range of 18-20 g VS/litre per d to obtain 80% or greater bioconversion for the RDF/MSW feedstock. This loading rate is approximately 4-6 times greater than that which can be obtained with comparable low-solids anaerobic bioreactor technology.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Several techniques were developed that provide data on body elemental composition from measurements in vivo in rats. These methods include total body potassium by whole-body counting of endogenous 40K; total body calcium (TBCa), sodium and chloride by in vivo neutron activation analysis and total body phosphorus (TBP) and nitrogen (TBN) by photon activation analysis. These elements provide information on total body fat, total body protein and skeletal mass. Measurements were made in 6-, 12- and 24-month-old rats. TBN increased slightly between 6 and 12 months but was significantly lower by 24 months, indicating a substantial loss in total body protein. Working at the National Synchrotron Light Source, the authors studied rat femurs by computed microtomography (CMT), and the elemental profile of the femur cortex by synchrotron-radiation induced X-ray emission (SRIXE). Although there were no significant changes in TBCa and TBP, indices of skeletal mass, CMT revealed an increase in the size and number of cavities in the endosteal region of the femur cortex with increasing age. The SRIXE analysis of this cortical bone revealed a parallel decrease in the endosteal Ca:P ratio. Thus, there are major alterations in bone morphology and regional elemental composition despite only modest changes in total skeletal mass.

Registry Number: 73-22-3. N2 - Outer surface protein A (OspA) is a major antigen of B. burgdorferi. A recombinant form of OspA (OspA-257) from B. burgdorferi, strain B31, contains 257 amino acids and a single tryptophan residue at position 216 (Trp-216). Mapping studies indicate that Trp-216 is involved in the epitope for the agglutinating monoclonal antibody 105.5. However, the fluorescence emission maximum of the native protein is 330 nm, indicating that Trp-216 is not solvent-exposed. Primary structure analysis suggests an α-helical conformation for residues approx. 204-217, which, if located on the protein surface, would allow Trp-216 to be buried, while leaving residues on the opposite side of the helix exposed. This helix would place Lys-212 within approx. 6 Å of Trp-216; the presence of such a positively-charged residue can, in principle, be ascertained from fluorescence quenching studies. Stern-Volmer plots confirm that Trp-216 is indeed buried in the native protein, but is readily accessible to the small polar quencher, acrylamide. Furthermore, the dominant component of the fluorescence emission shows only weak dynamic quenching by the positively-charged quencher, Cs+, while the minor component undergoes static quenching by I-, indicating the proximity of a positively-charged residue. These data are consistent with the existence of an α-helix from residues 204-217 in the predicted orientation at the protein surface, hence indicating the structure of the antigenic determinant.

Human health risks from the hydrocarbon mass before bioremediation were evaluated. The physical properties of the fuel oil mass were examined. Raoult's law and the aqueous solubilities of the toxic components were used to estimate organic contaminant concn in leachate from the untreated fuel mass. Carcinogenic risks and noncarcinogenic hazard indices were calculated for undiluted leachate.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - Human DNA repair gene XRCC1 complements the strand-break rejoining defect in Chinese hamster mutant EM9 and encodes a protein that is apparently required for optimal activity of DNA ligase III. Toward the goal of producing transgenic mice that carry a mutation in the Xrcc-1 locus, the murine homologue of XRCC1 was cloned from both cosmid genomic and cDNA libraries. Upon transfection into EM9 cells, cosmids containing the functional mouse gene efficiently corrected (94-100%) the high sister-chromatid-exchange defect. Mouse Xrcc-1 is 26 kb in length, contains 17 exons, and maps by metaphase in situ hybridization to the 7A3-7B2 region of mouse chromosome 7. Isolated cDNA clones were highly truncated and were extended by anchored polymerase chain reactions. The 1893-bp open reading frame of mouse Xrcc-1 encodes 631 amino acids, compared with 633 for the human homologue. The predicted mouse Xrcc-1 protein of 69.1 kDa and pI of 5.95 is 86% identical and 93% similar to human XRCC1.

Subject Subsets: Horticultural Science; Human Nutrition; Wheat, Barley & Triticale Abstracts; Maize N2 - Wheat gluten or flour from several plant sources (including rye, maize and rice) heated at 210°C for 1 h produced 0 to 1800 revertant colonies/g in the Ames/Salmonella test using a strain TA98 with metabolic activation. Baked or toasted foods and a heated grain beverage showed a mutagenic response in all cases from 2 to 320 revertants/g, with higher values seen when overcooked. Fried meat-substitute patties showed 0 to 23 revertants/g when fried at 210°C. A greater mutagenic response in bacterial strain TA98 than in strain TA100 and a requirement for metabolic activation suggests that one or more aromatic amine mutagens are formed at normal cooking temperatures, but the mutagenic activity measured cannot be accounted for by the known heterocyclic amines commonly found in cooked meats. It is concluded that grain products form aromatic amine chemicals during heating that are mutagenic in bacterial mutation tests.

Number of References: 68 ref. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Quantitative estimates of potential cancer risk associated with eating heterocyclic amines (HAs) in cooked foods and food products, known to be highly mutagenic in the Ames/Salmonella assay and to cause cancer in laboratory animals, rely on estimates of carcinogenic potency from animal bioassay data. New estimates of potential human cancer potency are presented for 10 HAs associated with potential human dietary exposure from cooked-food sources. These estimates differ from previous similar estimates in that they properly reflect the fact that most of these HAs exhibit a pronounced ability to induce tumours at multiple histologically distinct sites within each sex/species tested, and so might be expected to be multipotent carcinogens in man as well. Thus, in addition to 82 tumour-type-specific potencies estimated for these compounds, 24 additional estimates of aggregate potency (to induce one or more tumour types) were made, using different methods to scale estimated bioassay cancer potency to man. The currently unknown potency of an additional cooked-food HA was estimated using linear regressions of log-carcinogenic on log-mutagenic potency for the other 10 HAs, some of which were highly significant (e.g., r = 0.85, P<0.004). The potency estimates obtained are consistent with an upper-bound cancer risk between 10-3 and 10-4 for an average lifetime cooked-beef intake of 3.3 g/kg daily (or about 0.5 lb/day). Use of these potency estimates to obtain more realistic upper-bound estimates of dietary-HA risk will require detailed HA-exposure assessments.

Language: English. Number of References: 28 ref. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Mutagenic heterocyclic amines are generated in foods when they are cooked at temperatures over 150°C. These compounds are present from 0.1 to 50 µg/kg, depending on the food and cooking conditions. These heterocyclic amines are not only present in cooked red meat, fish and chicken, but are also present at lower levels in baked and fried foods derived from grain. Mutagenicity of fried beef hamburgers and cooked at 230°C is 800±37 TA98 revertants per g cooked weight. 2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MelQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (DiMelQx) and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) formation were estimated at this temperature and were found at 3.0±2.0, 1.0±0.18 and 0.06±0.03 ng/g, respectively. 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazole[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) was found at a higher concentration of 9.6 ng/g. Heterocyclic amines are capable of producing both reverse and forward mutations in Salmonella and forward mutations in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). A significant increase in mutations in the pancreas of the "mutamouse" following PhIP exposure was also found. The pancreas also shows relatively high DNA binding compared to other organs in the mouse. The number of type of mutations depend on the repair capacity of the cells for both Salmonella and CHO. In Salmonella the mutations are primarily 2-base deletions when the cells lack uvrB repair, but mutations are more complex (larger deletions and insertions) but lower in frequency when repair is functional. Efforts are now under way to assess specific sequence changes in the aprt gene in mutant CHO cells.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Concentrations of 210polonium and 210lead have been determined in many local foods consumed by societies residing on different atolls in the Marshall Islands. Average daily intake of these two naturally occurring radionuclides from local and imported food is estimated to be 2.18 and 0.36 Bq, respectively. Local foods contribute 87% of the 210Po and 47% of the 210Pb associated with the diet. The items contributing the majority of the activity to the diet are derived from the marine environment and include parts of fish, invertebrates, seabirds and eggs of seabirds. The committed effective dose from ingestion of 210Po and 210Pb is about 2 mSv/year (200 mrem/year). This pathway now contributes 83% of the natural background irradiation received by residents in the Marshall Islands. Because the naturally occurring radionuclides are omnipresent in terrestrial and marine foods at all atolls, the annual intake and computed dose can be considered as typical values for individuals with comparable diets and inhabiting other islands in the Pacific.

Number of References: 56 ref. Registry Number: 9007-49-2. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The complete nucleotide sequence of a small circular plasmid from B. burgdorferi Ip21 was determined. The plasmid (cp8.3/Ip21) is 8303 bp long, has a 76.6% A+T content, and is unstable upon passage of cells in vitro. An analysis of the sequence revealed the presence of 2 nearly perfect copies of a 184-bp inverted repeat sequence separated by 2675 bp containing 3 closely spaced, but nonoverlapping, open reading frames (ORFs). Each inverted repeat ends in sequences that may function as signals for the initiation of transcription and translation of flanking plasmid sequences. A unique oligonucleotide probe based on the repeated sequence showed that the DNA between the repeats is present predominantly in a single orientation. Additional copies of the repeat were not detected elsewhere in the Ip21 genome. An analysis for potential ORFs indicates that the plasmid has 9 highly probable protein-coding ORFs and 1 that is less probable; together, they occupy almost 71% of the nucleotide sequence. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of the ORFs revealed 1 (ORF-9) with features in common with Borrelia lipoproteins and another (ORF-2) having limited homology with a replication protein, RepC, from a gram-positive plasmid that replicates by a rolling circle (RC) mechanism. Known collectively as RC plasmids, such plasmids require a double-stranded origin at which the Rep protein nicks the DNA to generate a single-stranded replication intermediate. cp8.3/Ip21 has 3 copies of the heptameric motif characteristically found at a nick site of most RC plasmids. These observations suggest that cp8.3/Ip21 may replicate by an RC mechanism.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Heterocyclic aromatic amines are sometimes formed during the cooking of muscle meats, and their mutagenic and carcinogenic effects are of potential concern in the aetiology of cancer. In a large survey of the heterocyclic amine content of foods, fried or charbroiled hamburgers, fried chicken, chicken breast sandwiches, fish sandwiches and breakfast sausages were purchased from fast-food restaurants. At least 3 different chains were visited per product and samples from 5 stores from each chain were pooled. The solid-phase extraction and HPLC method was used to analyse pooled samples for heterocyclic amine content and mutagenic activity with the Ames/Salmonella assay. Samples were analysed in a blind study which also contained quality control samples of 2 types, 1 high and 1 low in heterocyclic amine content and mutagenic activity. Results from the fast-food products showed undetectable levels of heterocyclic amines in 10 of 17 samples and only low levels [≤1 ng/g total of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (DiMeIQx)] in the remaining samples. Compared with values based primarily on laboratory and home cooking conditions, fast-food meat products appear to contribute only a small percentage of the estimated daily dietary intake of heterocyclic amines.

Registry Number: 73-22-3. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The gene for the major outer surface protein A (OspA) from several clinically obtained strains of B. burgdorferi were cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli by using a T7-based expression system. All of the OspAs have a single conserved tryptophan at residue 216 or, in some cases, 217; however, the region of the protein flanking the tryptophan is hypervariable, as determined by a moving-window population analysis of ospA from 15 European and North American isolates of B. burgdorferi. Epitope-mapping studies using chemically cleaved OspA and a TrpE-OspA fusion have indicated that this hypervariable region is important for immune recognition. Biophysical analysis, including fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy, have indicated that the conserved tryptophan is buried in a hydrophobic environment. Polar amino acid side chains flanking the tryptophan are likely to be exposed to the hydrophilic solvent. The hypervariability of these solvent-exposed amino acid residues may contribute to the antigenic variation in OspA. To test this, the authors performed site-directed mutagenesis to replace some of the potentially exposed amino acid side chains in the B31 protein with the analogous residues of a B. garinii strain, K48. The altered proteins were than analysed by Western blot (immunoblot) with monoclonal antibodies which bind OspA on the surface of the intact B31 spirochaete. The results indicate that specific amino acid changes near the tryptophan can abolish the reactivity of OspA to these MAbs, which is an important consideration in the design of vaccines based on recombinant OspA.

Language: English. Number of References: 13 ref. Subject Subsets: Agricultural Biotechnology; Animal Breeding N2 - The recent development of mouse chromosome painting probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization has extended the use of this common laboratory mammal in cytogenetics. The development is reported of additional painting probes by degenerate-oligonucleotide-primed PCR on chromosomes from mouse lung fibroblast cultures, each homozygous for a single Robertsonian translocation chromosome. These probes are for Rb(1.2), Rb(1.3), Rb(4.6), and Rb(6.7). Probes were also made for the sex chromosomes by isolating shoulders from larger peaks (X) or small, clearly resolved peaks (Y) in the flow karyotype. Combinations of probes were used to paint 4 chromosomes simultaneously in a single colour. Multicolour painting was achieved with a biotinylated Rb(1.2) probe and a digoxigenin-labelled Rb(2.8) probe. Each of the 3 homologous pairs was uniquely coloured by avidin-Texas Red, anti-digoxigenin-FITC, or both simultaneously. These results extend the usefulness of the mouse as a model for understanding adverse environmental exposures and genetic diseases in human.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Chromosomes from several species of ants from the genus Myrmecia were hybridized with deoxyoligomer probes of either (T2AG2)7, the putative insect telomere repeat sequence, or (T2AG3)7, the vertebrate telomere repeat sequence. While both sequences hybridized over a range of stringency conditions, (T2AG2)n was clearly the predominant sequence at the termini of the Myrmecia chromosomes. No interstitial sites of either sequence were detected. The genus Myrmecia has a wide range of karyotypes, with chromosome numbers ranging from 2n = 2-84. It has been hypothesized that the ancestral karyotype was 2n = 4 and karyotype evolution proceeded with an increase in chromosome number. In the absence of detectable interstitial sites of telomere sequence, it is interesting to speculate on the origin of the new telomeres as the chromosome numbers increase.

Into repair-deficient UV5 cells, cDNAs for expressing cytochrome P-450IA2 and acetyltransferases were introduced. These transformed lines were then genetically reverted to obtain matched metabolically competent repair-deficient/proficient lines. For a high mutagenic response, acetyltransferase with 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline but not with 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine was required.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - As a variety of highly reactive lipid peroxidation products can transfer from oxidized LDL to HDL, potential deleterious effects of LDL oxidation on HDL-cholesterol metabolism were examined. The HDL-containing fraction of human plasma was exposed to copper-oxidized LDL and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity and apolipoprotein a-I (apo a-I) structure were examined. To determine whether LCAT was directly affected by oxidized LDL, independent of crosslinking of apo a-I, an exogenous, [14C]cholesterol-labelled proteoliposome substrate was used to measure plasma LCAT activity. Copper-oxidized LDL, possessing only 2.3±0.1 and 7.3±1.4 thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), produced 24±3 and 47±10% reductions in [14C]cholesterol esterification over 1 h, respectively. Copper-oxidized LDL that had been passed through a GF-5 desalting column, while retaining only one-third of its original TBARS, possessed nearly all of its LCAT inhibitory capacity suggesting that the LCAT inhibitory factor(s) was a lipophilic oxidation product. Analysis of polar lipids isolated from copper-oxidized LDL indicated that phospholipid and sterol fractions effectively inhibited LCAT. Copper-oxidized LDL, with TBARS 6.3 nmol MDA equivalents/mg LDL protein, produced intermolecular crosslinking of apo a-Imolecules. It is suggested that products of LDL oxidation may adversely affect HDL-cholesterol metabolism by two separate mechanisms: a direct inhibitory effect on LCAT activity and through crosslinking of apo a-I. If occurring in vivo, minimally oxidized LDL may impair cholesteryl ester formation on HDL thereby limiting the ability of HDL to function efficiently in the putative antiatherogenic reverse cholesterol transport pathway.

To date, the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances lists between 5000 and 6000 chemicals, drugs, and natural substances that show a positive outcome in at least 1 reproductive effects study. This reproductive health risk assessment began with these substances. Using elements of the Environmental Protection Agency's health risk assessment process, the list was reduced to 213 chemicals during the hazard identification step. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) were developed in the dose-response evaluation step. At the time of this writing, 85% of the chemicals identified in the hazard identification step have had a screening level dose-response assessment completed. Of these, 13% are greater than or equal to a threshold limit value (TLV®). The remaining 87% do not have a TLV or ORGs below the TLV. The reproductive toxins list, along with the corresponding dose-response-derived ORGs that have been completed, appears at the end of the text.

Subject Subsets: Crop Physiology; Horticultural Science N2 - O-Acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS; EC 4.2.99.8) catalyses the formation of L-cysteine from O-acetylserine and inorganic sulfide. Three OASS isoenzymes that differed in molecular mass and subunit structure were present in shoot and root tissues and in cadmium-resistant and cadmium-susceptible cell cultures of Datura innoxia [Datura fastuosa]. Different OASS forms predominated in leaves, roots, and suspension-cell cultures. To determine the subcellular location of the OASS isoenzymes, purified mitochondria, chloroplasts, and cytosolic fractions from protoplasts were obtained. The isoenzymes were compartmentalized in D. innoxia cells, with a different isoenzyme predominant in the chloroplast, cytosol, and mitochondria, suggesting that they serve different functions in the plant cell. The chloroplast form was most abundant in green leaves and leaf protoplasts. The cytosolic form was most abundant in roots and cell cultures. A mitochondrial form was abundant in cell cultures, but was a minor form in leaves or roots. Cadmium-tolerant cell cultures contained 1.8-fold as much constitutive OASS activity as the wild-type cell line, and 2.9-fold more than the cadmium-hypersensitive cell line.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This study examined the dose-response relation in women between risk factors for coronary heart disease, particularly the concentration of HDL cholesterol, and vigorous exercise at levels that exceed official guidelines. The number of km run weekly reported by 1837 female recreational runners in a national cross-sectional survey was compared with medical data provided by the women's physicians. In these cross-sectional data, plasma HDL cholesterol concentrations were higher by an average (±s.e.) of 0.133±0.020 mg/100 ml for every additional km run per week, an amount nearly identical with that previously reported for men (0.136±0.006 mg/100 ml per km per week). Among women who ran <48 km/week, mean plasma HDL concentrations were significantly higher with each 16-km increment in distance. Women who ran >64 km/week had significantly higher mean concentrations of HDL cholesterol than did women who ran <48 km/week. They were also significantly more likely to have HDL cholesterol concentrations greater than 100, 90 or 80 mg/100 ml than were women running <64 km/week. HDL cholesterol concentrations increased significantly in relation to the number of km run per week in premenopausal women who were not using oral contraceptives and in postmenopausal women, whether they were receiving oestrogen-replacement therapy or not. Substantial increases in HDL cholesterol concentrations were found in women who exercised at levels exceeding current guidelines; higher HDL cholesterol concentrations could provide added health benefits to these women.

N2 - Forty three scientists from Europe, Africa, USA, Canada, India and China met in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to discuss the implications of the global variation of HIV. This meeting followed an earlier meeting of UNAIDS, held in 1996 in Berlin, Germany, in which HIV genetic variability was considered in relation to transmissibility. During the Tanzania meeting, available data pertaining to the biological consequences of HIV genetic variation and its ramifications with regard to epidemiology, diagnostics, classification, and vaccine design were systematically reviewed. There was consensus that classification based on genetically defined subtypes provides an important framework for making advances on understanding viral biology and immunology, and for vaccine development. In addition, other groupings of viruses based on immunological and biological characteristics would be also valuable and help further to refine understanding of the implications of variability. Key elements of the discussion are summarized in this report in the context of a review of the current literature.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Field measurement of landfill methane (CH4) emissions indicates natural variability from <0.0004 to >4000 g/m² per day. This wide range reflects net emissions resulting from production (methanogenesis), consumption (methanotrophic oxidation), and gaseous transport processes. The determination of an 'average' emission rate for a given field site requires sampling designs and statistical techniques which consider spatial and temporal variability. Moreover, particularly at sites with pumped gas recovery systems, it is possible for methanotrophic microorganisms in aerated cover soils to oxidize all of the CH4 from landfill sources below and, additionally, to oxidize CH4 diffusing into cover soils from atmospheric sources above. In such cases, a reversed soil gas concentration gradient is observed in shallow cover soils, indicating bidirectional diffusional transport to the depth of optimum CH4 oxidation. Rates of landfill CH4 oxidation from field and laboratory incubation studies range up to 166 g/m² per day, among the highest for any natural setting, providing an effective natural control on net emissions. It has been shown that methanotrophs in landfill soils can adapt rapidly to elevated CH4 concentrations with increased rates of CH4 oxidation related to depth of oxygen penetration, soil moisture, and the nutrient status of the soil. Estimates of worldwide landfill CH4 emissions to the atmosphere have ranged from 9 to 70 Tg/year, differing mainly in assumed CH4 yields from estimated quantities of landfilled refuse. At highly controlled landfill sites in developed countries, landfill CH4 is often collected via vertical wells or horizontal collectors. Recovery of landfill CH4 through engineered systems can provide both environmental and energy benefits by mitigating subsurface migration, reducing surface emissions, and providing an alternative energy resource for industrial boiler use, on-site electrical generation, or upgrading to a substitute natural gas. Manipulation of landfill cover soils to maximize their oxidation potential could provide a complementary strategy for controlling CH4 emissions, particularly at older sites where the CH4 concentration in landfill gas is too low for energy recovery or flaring. It is necessary to better quantify net emissions relative to rates of CH4 production, oxidation, and transport.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This study tested whether the relationship between adiposity and HDL cholesterol depends upon past weight history in addition to current weight. Physician-supplied medical data were compared to questionnaires from a national cross-sectional survey. Subjects were 6847 men who ran between 0 and 171 km/week. Self-reported current weight, greatest lifetime weight and body circumferences were compared to physician-supplied data for plasma concentrations of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Current HDL-cholesterol levels were greatest in those runners with the greatest weight loss since their maximum lifetime weight and the greatest reductions in circumference of their waist, hip and chest since their maximum weight. Plasma levels of triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol were also significantly lower for runners showing the greatest decreases in total and regional adiposity since their maximum weight. The results remained significant when adjusted for current body mass index and running mileage. These results suggest that the lipoprotein concentrations of runners are in part dependent upon whether the current weight is relatively high or low within the historical range of weights experienced by the individual.

Subject Subsets: Horticultural Science; Aromatic & Medicinal Plants N2 - A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of G. biloba extract (EGb 761) on the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in the mouse macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. EGb 761 inhibited nitrite and nitrate production, taken as an index for NO, in a concentration-dependent fashion. The IC50 for inhibition of nitrite production by activated macrophages was about 100 µg/ml. The inducible NO synthase (iNOS) enzyme activity of cytosolic preparations from activated RAW 264.7 cells was inhibited by treatment with EGb 761. In addition, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis revealed that the expression of iNOS mRNA in activated macrophages was suppressed by high concentrations of EGb 761. However, NF-κB DNA binding activity induced by activation with LPS/IFN-γ was not inhibited by EGb 761. These findings indicate that not only does EGb 761 directly act as an NO scavenger but also that it inhibits NO production in LPS/IFN-γ-activated macrophages by concomitant inhibition of induction of iNOS mRNA and the enzyme activity of iNOS. Thus, EGb 761 may act as a potent inhibitor of NO production under tissue-damaging inflammatory conditions.

Number of References: 22 ref. Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - PCR analysis of 198 B. anthracis isolates from America, Asia, Europe and Africa revealed a variable region of DNA sequence differing in length among the isolates. Five polymorphisms differed by the presence of 2 to 6 copies of the 12-bp tandem repeat 5′-CAATATCAACAA-3′. This variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) region is located within a larger sequence containing one complete open reading frame that encodes a putative 30-kDa protein. Length variation did not change the reading frame of the encoded protein and only changed the copy number of a 4-amino-acid sequence (QYQQ) from 2 to 6. The structure of the VNTR region suggests that these multiple repeats are generated by recombination or polymerase slippage. Protein structures predicted from the reverse-translated DNA sequence suggest that any structural changes in the encoded protein are confined to the region encoded by the VNTR sequence. Copy number differences in the VNTR region were used to define 5 different B. anthracis alleles. Characterization of the isolates revealed allele frequencies of 6.1, 17.7, 59.6, 5.6 and 11.1% sequentially from shorter to longer alleles. The high degree of polymorphism in the VNTR region provides a criterion for assigning isolates to 5 allelic categories. There is a correlation between categories and geographic distribution. It is suggested that such molecular markers can be used to monitor the epidemiology of anthrax outbreaks in domestic and native herbivore populations.

Number of References: 44 ref. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This study examined whether vigorous exercise prevents weight gain with age and whether weight maintenance and an age-neutral adult overweight standard are consistent with a constant activity level over time. These hypotheses were examined in a national cross-sectional survey of 4769 and 2150 male runners aged 18-49 years and >49 years, respectively. Before 50 years of age, the rates at which body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference increased in association with age were the same in shorter-distance (<16 km/week) and longer-distance (>80 km/week) runners. Regardless of weekly running distance, before 50 years of age, BMI increased at 0.045±0.006 kg/m² yearly and waist circumference increased at 0.186±0.014 cm/year. The percentage of runners who were moderately overweight (BMI ≥25) was 21.5% before 30 years of age and 30.1% in those between 45 and 49 years old. Men who ran greater distances were nevertheless leaner because weekly running distance was inversely related to BMI (slope±SE: -0.033±0.002 kg/m² per km/week) and waist circumference (-0.083±0.004 cm km-1 week-1). It was concluded that, to be consistent, guidelines should either recommend substantial increases in physical activity over time when promoting an age-neutral adult overweight standard or accept an age-adjusted overweight standard when recommending a constant level of physical activity over time.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - In a national survey, 199 male and 152 female vegetarian runners and 7054 male and 1837 female omnivorous runners provided data on weekly intakes of alcohol, red meat, fish, fruit, and weekly distance run. This information was compared with physician-supplied medical data to test 3 variables: whether running benefits vegetarians; whether alcohol and running distance contribute independently to concentrations of HDL cholesterol; and whether running mitigates the hypertensive effects of alcohol. Greater reported weekly distance run by vegetarians was associated with higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations (slopes±SEs for men and women, respectively: 0.003±0.001 and 0.005±0.002 (mmol/litre)/km) and lower waist (-0.06±0.02 and -0.08±0.02 cm/km), hip (-0.05±0.03 and -0.07±0.02 cm/km) and chest (-0.05±0.02 cm/km for both) circumferences. In men and women, alcohol and running distance contributed independently to higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations. Men who ran >72 km and drank >177 ml (6 oz) alcohol/week were 5 times more likely to have clinically defined high HDL cholesterol (>or= 1.55 mmol/litre or >or= 60 mg/100 ml) than were nondrinkers running <24 km/week. Regardless of running level, men's blood pressure increased in association with alcohol intake. These data suggest that running distance in vegetarians and vegans has the same increase in HDL cholesterol and decrease in adiposity as reported previously for omnivores. Alcohol and running distance contribute independently to higher HDL cholesterol and also running does not abate the hypertensive effects of alcohol in men. Vigorous exercise provides important health benefits beyond those obtained by diet.

N2 - It was demonstrated in the model and in the data that the rebound of the HIV-1 RNA load in the case of zidovudine is due to the outgrowth of wild-type virus and the first drug-resistant mutant, whereas that in the case of lamivudine can only be due to the drug-resistant mutants. The evolution of drug resistance proceeds slower in the case of zidovudine because (i) zidovudine is not as effective as lamivudine and (ii) the first zidovudine drug-resistant mutant is competing with the rebounding wild-type virus.

N2 - A unique and recently reported HIV-1 transmission cluster consisting of 9 infected individuals, for whom the direction and time for each transmission were exactly known, formed the basis for the analyses which were performed under a general model of nucleotide substitution using population sequences from the env V3 and p17 gag regions of the HIV-1 genome. Examination of 7 different substitution models by maximum-likelihood methods revealed that the fit of the general reversible (REV) model was significantly better than that of simpler models, indicating that it is important to account for the asymmetric substitution pattern of HIV-1 and that the nucleotide substitution rate varied significantly across sites. The shape parameter α, which describes the variation across sites by a γ distribution, was estimated to be 0.38 and 0.25 for env V3 and p17gag, respectively. In env V3, the estimated average transition/transversion rate ratio was 1.42. Thus, the REV model with variable rates across sites (described by a γ distribution) provides the best description of HIV-1 evolution, whereas simple models are unrealistic and inaccurate. It is likely that the accuracy of phylogenetic studies of HIV-1 and many other viruses would improve substantially by the use of more realistic nucleotide substitution models. This is especially true when attempts are made to estimate the age of distant viral ancestors from contemporary viral sequences.

This study addresses the latter, particularly for plutonium, and from environmental measurements derives an f1 value of 4 × 10-4 for the Marshallese population. The uncertainty associated with the methodology and measurements used in this f1 value assessment is evaluated. This evaluation takes into account the results from 24-h urine samples and the particular lifestyle of the Marshallese. Plutonium intake resulting from soil consumption is a primary parameter in this evaluation; for this study, it was assumed to be 500 mg/d. The f1 value determined here is consistent with the values in ICRP Publication 67 of 5×10-4 for ages 1 to adult, and is the same as that suggested by the NRPB.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - A near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) was used to simultaneously map and detect co-localized proteins in human erythrocytes invaded by Plasmodium falciparum. Association of parasite proteins with host skeletal proteins leads to modification of the erythrocyte membrane, and co-localization studies of parasite proteins with an erythrocyte skeletal protein are reported. Host and parasite proteins were selectively labelled in indirect immunofluorescence antibody assays. Simultaneous dual-colour excitation and detection with NSOM provided fluorescence maps together with topography of the cell membrane with sub-wavelength (100 nm) resolution. Co-localization studies with laser scanning confocal microscopy provided lower resolution (310 nm) fluorescence maps of cross sections through the cell. Because the 2 excitation colours shared the exact same near-field aperture, the 2 fluorescence images were acquired in perfect pixel-by-pixel registry, free from the chromatic aberrations which contaminate laser scanning confocal microscopy measurements. Co-localization studies of the protein pairs of mature parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (MESA) (parasite)/protein 4.1 (host) and P. falciparum histidine rich protein (PfHRP1) (parasite)/protein 4.1 (host) showed good real-space correlation for the MESA/protein 4.1 pair but relatively poor correlation for the PfHRP1/protein 4.1 pair. The data imply that NSOM provides high resolution information on in situ interactions between proteins in biological membranes.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Biotechnology; Animal Breeding; Human Nutrition N2 - Previous studies have revealed that several dominant mutations at the agouti locus in mice cause the ectopic, ubiquitous expression of agouti, resulting in a condition similar to adult-onset obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The human agouti protein is 85% homologous to mouse agouti; however, unlike the mouse agouti gene, human agouti is normally expressed in adipose tissue. To address whether expression of agouti in human adipose tissue is physiologically relevant, transgenic mice were generated that expressed agouti in adipose tissue. Similar to most humans, these mice did not become obese or diabetic. However, when given daily insulin injections, the transgenic lines expressing agouti in adipose tissue showed a significantly increased weight gain. This effect was not found in control non-transgenic mice. It is suggested that insulin triggers the onset of obesity and that agouti expression in adipose tissue potentiates this effect.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - OspA (outer surface protein A) is an abundant immunogenic lipoprotein of the Lyme disease spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi. The crystal structure of a soluble recombinant form of OspA was solved in a complex with the Fab fragment of mouse monoclonal antibody 184.1 and refined to a resolution of 1.9 Å. OspA has a repetitive antiparallel β topology with an unusual nonglobular region of "freestanding" sheet connecting globular N- and C-terminal domains. Arrays of residues with alternating charges are a predominant feature of the folding pattern in the nonglobular region. The 184.1 epitope overlaps with a well conserved surface in the N-terminal domain, and a hydrophobic cavity buried in a positively charged cleft in the C-terminal domain is a potential binding site for an unknown ligand. An exposed variable region on the C-terminal domain of OspA is predicted to be an important factor in the worldwide effectiveness of OspA-based vaccines.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Soft X-ray microscopy was used to investigate structural development of Plasmodium falciparum in normal and genetically abnormal erythrocytes and in infected erythrocytes treated with cysteine proteinase inhibitors. Investigations in normal erythrocytes enabled anomalies in parasite structures resulting from growth under unfavourable conditions to be recognized. X-ray microscopy facilitated detection of newly elaborated structures in the cytosol of fixed, unstained, intact erythrocytes, redistribution of mass (carbon) in infected erythrocytes, and aberrant parasite morphology. In cysteine proteinase inhibitor-treated, infected erythrocytes, high concentrations of material were detected in abnormal digestive vacuoles and aggregated at the parasite plasma membrane. It was shown that an abnormal host erythrocyte skeleton affects structural development of parasites and that this aberrant development can be detected in the following generation when parasites from protein 4.1-deficient erythrocytes infect normal erythrocytes.

Subject Subsets: Dairy Science N2 - Expression of the complex gene encoding multiple isoforms of structural protein 4.1 is regulated by alternative pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing. During erythropoiesis, developmental stage-specific inclusion of exon 16 generates protein 4.1 isoforms having a fully functional spectrin-actin binding domain. Normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) derived from reduction mammoplasty were grown in medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor, bovine pituitary extract, insulin, hydrocortisone, transferrin and isoproterenol. Tissue culture plates were coated with poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA) 0.8 mg/cm². RNA was isolated by caesium chloride ultracentrifugation, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed and proteins were analysed by western blotting. It was demonstrated that HMEC, coincident with the dramatic morphological changes induced by altered culture conditions, exhibit a novel pre-mRNA splicing switch involving a new exon (exon 17B, 450 nucleotides) in the COOH-terminal coding region. 4.1 RNA expressed in proliferating HMEC adherent to culture dishes mostly excluded exon 17B, whereas 4.1 transcripts processed in non-dividing suspension cultures of HMEC strongly included this exon. This pre-mRNA splicing switch was reversible: cells transferred from poly-HEMA back to plastic resumed cell division and down-regulated exon 17B expression. More detailed studies revealed complex tissue-specific alternative splicing of exon 17B and another new exon 17A (51 nucleotides). The existence of multiple 4.1 protein isoforms with diverse COOH termini were predicted. It is suggested that regulation of gene expression during differentiation of epithelial cells is mediated by transcriptional mechanisms and by post-transcriptional processes such as alternative pre-mRNA splicing.

Gamma rays were the only cell-killing agent that did not induce HIV transcription; this was attributed to the fact that gamma-ray-induced apoptotic death requires functional p53, which is not present in HeLa cells. For all other agents, HIV-LTR induction was dose-dependent and correlated with the amount of cell killing that occurred in the culture. Doses which caused over 99% cell killing induced HIV-LTR transcription maximally, demonstrating that cells that will go on to die by 14 days are the cells expressing HIV-LTR-CAT.

The active site of the deaminase (DM) domain in these enzymes contains a conserved histidine (or rarely cysteine), two cysteines and a glutamate proposed to act as a proton shuttle during deamination. Here, a statistical model, a hidden Markov model (HMM), of the DM domain has been created which identifies currently known DM domains and suggests new DM domains in viral, bacterial and eukaryotic proteins. (including proteins from vaccinia virus, variola virus, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Mycoplasma capricolum, Mycobacterium leprae, Arabidopsis thaliana, Beta vulgaris, Brassica campestris, Caenorhabditis elegans, Homosapiens, Mus musculus, Nicotiana tabacum, Rattus norvegicus, Schistosoma mansoni and Vigna radiata). However, no DM domains were identified in the currently predicted proteins from the archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii and possible causes for, and a potential means to ameliorate this situation are discussed. In some of the newly identified DM domains, the glutamate is changed to a residue that could not function as a proton shuttle and in one instance (Mus musculus spermatid protein TENR) the cysteines are also changed to lysine and serine. These may be non-competent DM domains able to bind but not act upon their substrate. Phylogenetic analysis using an HMM-generated alignment of DM domains reveals three branches with clear substructure in each branch. The results suggest DM domains that are candidates for yeast, platyhelminth, plant and mammalian C->U and A->I mRNA editing enzymes. Some bacterial and eukaryotic DM domains form distinct branches in the phylogenetic tree suggesting the existence of common, novel substrates.

N2 - A mechanistically based cytodynamic two-stage (CD2) cancer model has been shown to predict both ecological US county data and underground-miner data on lung-cancer mortality (LCM) versus radon concentration, indicating biological plausibility of the apparent negative dose-response relation exhibited by the ecological data. To further investigate this hypothesis, the CD2 model was fitted to combine age-specific LCM data versus estimated radon-exposure in white females of age >40 years in 2821 US counties during 1950-54 using new estimates of county-specific mean residential radon exposure and in 5 cohorts of underground non-smoking miners. The negative association of radon levels and corresponding county-level LCM rates apparent in women dying in 1950-54 (11% of whom never smoked) was also apparent in women of age >60 years (5% of whom never smoked). The CD2 fit obtained to the combined residential and occupational data was found to predict the combined data using biologically plausible parameter values and also to predict inverse dose-rate effects exhibited in non-smoking miner data to which the CD2 model was not fit. It is concluded that these results are consistent with the hypothesis that residential radon exposure has a non-linear U-shaped relation to LCM risk and that current linear extrapolation models substantially overestimate such risk.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Dairy Science N2 - The excretion of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and its metabolites into the milk of lactating rats and the ability of chlorophyllin, a food derivative with chemo-preventive properties, to affect these levels at low PhIP doses were investigated. Lactating female F344 rats (n=3/group) with suckling pups were orally administered 50, 500 and 1000 ng [14C]PhIP/kg body weight. Excretion of [14C]PhIP into milk and its distribution among the mammary tissue, liver and blood of the dam, as well as among stomach contents and liver of their pups was measured using accelerator mass spectrometry. PhIP, PhIP-4′-sulfate, 4′-hydroxy-PhIP and N²-hydroxy-PhIP-N³-glucuronide were found in milk at all doses of PhIP. Chlorophyllin (500 µg/kg) co-administration with PhIP (500 ng/kg) resulted in increased levels of [14C]PhIP in milk (32%) and stomach contents (35%) of the pups relative to rats not receiving chlorophyllin. In contrast, lower [14C]PhIP levels in the chlorophyllin-treated rats were observed in blood (47%) and mammary tissue (68%) of the dam, as well as the pup's liver tissue (37%) compared with rats receiving only PhIP. Chlorophyllin co-administration resulted in an increased amount of N²-hydroxy-PhIP-N³-glucuronide (42%), increased PhIP (79%) and decreased levels of PhIP-4′-sulfate (77%) relative to rats not receiving chlorophyllin. It is suggested that PhIP and PhIP metabolites are present in the milk of lactating rats at human dietary PhIP exposure levels and that PhIP is absorbed by the pup. Other dietary components can also affect the dosimetry of PhIP in suckling pups.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Addition of phosphate to lead [Pb(II)]-contaminated soil to immobilize soil Pb by formation of pyromorphite has been proposed as an alternative remediation technique. Lead sulfate (PbSO4, anglesite), a Pb-bearing form found in contaminated soils and wastes, was reacted with a synthetic phosphate mineral, hydroxyapatite [Ca5(PO4)3-OH], under constant pH (pH 2-7) and simulated gastric pH conditions (pH varied from 2 to 7 within 30 min) to assess the effects of reaction kinetics on the formation rate of chloropyromorphite and the solubility of Pb. Under constant pH condition, complete transformation of anglesite to chloropyromorphite, [Pb5(PO4)3Cl], was obtained at pH 4 and pH 5. At pH 6 and pH 7, the newly formed chloropyromorphite precipitated on the surface of undissolved apatite. The coverage of the apatite surface may reduce apatite dissolution rate and the transformation rate of Pb from anglesite to chloropyromorphite. Increasing the P:Pb ratio increased the transformation rate, but anglesite was still present after a 120-min reaction time. In the dynamic pH system, the added apatite was rapidly dissolved at the initial low pH, and complete transformation of anglesite to chloropyromorphite was obtained within 25 min. The soluble Pb level was controlled by the solubility of chloropyromorphite during the entire reaction process. These results demonstrate the effect of reaction kinetics on the formation rate of chloropyromorphite and the mechanisms controlling the solubilization of Pb in the anglesite-apatite system. Furthermore, they illustrate that a complete transformation of ingested anglesite to chloropyromorphite can be achieved under gastrointestinal tract pH conditions if sufficient phosphate is provided.

At 76 weeks of age, 5 control and 8 exposed mice were killed. Blood and bone marrow cells were obtained and arrested in metaphase. Whole chromosome painting probes were used for fluorescence in situ hybridization of metaphase cells from blood and bone marrow. MeIQ-exposed mice had a 2-fold increase in translocations and a 16-fold increase in fragments in peripheral blood compared with controls. No aberrations were observed in the bone marrow. All organs were examined for the presence of tumours and routine histopathological analysis was performed on all organs as well as any tissue with macroscopic abnormalities. Forestomach and or liver tumours developed in all but one of the mice fed MeIQ, but no such tumours were observed in the control mice. It is concluded that MeIQ is clastogenic and carcinogenic in vivo.

Officials attributed this to consumption of contaminated meat, but Western governments believed it resulted from inhalation of spores accidentally released from a nearby military research facility. Tissue samples from 11 victims were obtained and methods of efficiently extracting high-quality total DNA from these samples were developed. Extracted DNA was analysed by using PCR to determine whether it contained Bacillus anthracis-specific sequences. Double PCR using "nested primers" increased sensitivity of the assay significantly. Tissue samples from 11 persons who died during the epidemic were examined. Results demonstrated that the entire complement of B. anthracis toxin and capsular antigen genes required for pathogenicity were present in tissues from each of these victims. Tissue from a vaccination site contained primarily nucleic acids from a live vaccine, although traces of genes from the infecting organisms were also present. PCR analysis using primers that detect the vrrA gene variable region on the B. anthracis chromosome demonstrated that at least four of the five known strain categories defined by this region were present in the tissue samples. Only one category is found in a single B. anthracis strain.

Assuming that the variation among cells with respect to this 'intracellular' delay can be approximated by a gamma distribution, a high flexible distribution that can mimic a variety of biologically plausible delays, we provide analytical solutions for the expected decline in plasma virus concentration after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy with one or more protease inhibitors. We then use the model to investigate whether the parameters that characterize viral dynamics can be identified from biological data. Using non-linear least-squares regression to fit the model to simulated data in which the delays conform to a gamma distribution, we show that good estimates for free viral clearance rates, infected cell death rates, and parameters characterizing the gamma distribution can be obtained. For simulated data sets in which the delays were generated using other biologically plausible distributions, reasonably good estimates for viral clearance rates, infected cell death rates, and mean delay times can be obtained using the gamma-delay model. For simulated data sets that include added simulated noise, viral clearance rate estimates are not as reliable. If the mean intracellular delay is known, however, we show that reasonable estimates for the viral clearance rate can be obtained by taking the harmonic mean of viral clearance rate estimates from a group of patients.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - A model was developed for the emergence of drug-resistant influenza viruses during a closed population influenza epidemic that occurs in a single wave. The model was used to consider several treatment and chemoprophylaxis strategies and to determine their effects on the spread of the infection. The model predicted frequent emergence and transmission of drug-resistant viruses with certain treatment scenarios. According to the model, chemoprophylaxis of susceptible persons (without treatment of those who are symptomatic) may be the best way to reduce the force of an epidemic and to keep development of drug resistance low. The model predictions indicated that the relative transmissibility of resistant variants compared with wild type virus and the choice of the treatment or chemoprophylaxis strategy can be decisive for the spread of drug-resistant viruses-a feature that may be crucial in a pandemic.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The complete nucleotide sequence and gene organization of the 3 virulence plasmids from Y. pestis KIM5 were determined. Plasmid pPCP1 (9610 bp) has a GC content of 45.3% and encodes 2 previously known virulence factors, an associated protein, and a single copy of IS100. Plasmid pCD1 (70 504 bp) has a GC content of 44.8%. It is known to encode a number of essential virulence determinants, regulatory functions, and a multiprotein secretory system comprising the low-calcium response stimulation that is shared with the other 2 Yersinia species pathogenic for humans (Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica). A new pseudogene, which occurs as an intact gene in the Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis-derived analogues, was found in pCD1. It corresponds to that encoding the lipoprotein YlpA. Several intact and partial insertion sequences and/or transposons were also found in pCD1, as well as 6 putative structural genes with high homology to proteins of unknown function in other yersiniae. The sequences of the genes involved in the replication of pCD1 are highly homologous to those of the cognate plasmids in Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica, but their localization within the plasmid differs markedly from those of the latter. Plasmid pMT1 (100 984 bp) has a GC content of 50.2%. It possesses 2 copies of IS100, which are located 25 kb apart and in opposite orientations. Adjacent to one of these IS100 inserts is a partial copy of IS285. A single copy of an IS200-like element (recently named IS1541) was also located in pMT1. In addition to 5 previously described genes, such as murine toxin, capsule antigen, capsule anchoring protein etc., 30 homologues to genes of several bacterial species were found in this plasmid, and another 44 open reading frames without homology to any known or hypothetical protein in the databases were predicted.

Two applications have been investigated: the four short tandem repeat (STR) loci vWA, THO1, TPOX and CSF1PO (CTTv) for DNA typing, and DNA probe for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) diagnosis. The CTTv are important loci in forensic and genetic linkage analysis. The PCR technique is a powerful tool in HIV research because it can detect the presence of the virus before any antibody response in the infected person. Thus it is important for early diagnosis. Multiplexed PCR in a fused-silica capillary, on-line injection, DNA denaturation and calibration based on a standard ladder have been successfully combined. Also, on-line liquid flow management, DNA separation and detection have been completely integrated.

Subject Subsets: Dairy Science N2 - Mammary tissue homeostasis depends upon dynamic interactions between the epithelial cells, their microenvironment (including the basement membrane and the stroma), and the tissue architecture, which influence each other reciprocally to regulate growth, death and differentiation in the gland. To study how apoptosis is regulated in normal mammary cells, and to understand its role in breast tumour pathogenesis, model systems that recapitulate breast tissue architecture and microenvironment in culture are required. Culture models of primary and established non-malignant mammary cell lines from rodents and humans, and defined procedures to study how cell and tissue architecture affect signalling by the basement membrane are outlined. A basement membrane and an organized tissue structure are required to achieve sustained mammary cell survival. These models could be used to investigate how the basement membrane represses apoptosis in normal cells, and how breast cancers become death-resistant.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Accelerator mass spectrometry was used to establish whether DNA and protein adducts can be detected in humans exposed to a quantity of 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) comparable with levels of exposure that occur in the diet. Five human volunteers were administered a dietary-relevant dose of [14C]PhIP (70-84 µg) 48-72 h before surgery for removal of colon tumours. Blood samples were collected at various time points, and albumin, haemoglobin, and WBC DNA were extracted for analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry. Tissue samples were collected during surgery and used to assess either tissue available doses of [14C]PhIP or adduct levels. The results of this study show: (a) PhIP is activated to a form that will bind to albumin, haemoglobin, and WBC DNA in peripheral blood. WBC DNA adducts were unstable and declined substantially over 24 h; (b) PhIP is bioavailable to the colon, with levels in normal tissue in the range 42-122 pg PhIP/g tissue; and (c) PhIP binds to both protein and DNA in the colon. DNA adduct levels in the normal tissue were 35-135 adducts/1012 nucleotides, which was significantly lower than tumour tissue. The results of this study demonstrate that PhIP is bioavailable to the human colon following defined dietary-relevant doses and forms DNA and protein adducts.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Comprehensive benchmarking was performed between three multimedia risk assessment models: RESRAD, MMSOILS, and MEPAS. Each multimedia model comprises a suite of modules (e.g. groundwater, air, surface water, exposure, and risk/hazard), all of which can impact the estimation of the human health risk. As a component of the comprehensive benchmarking exercise, the saturated-zone modules of each model were applied to an environmental release scenario, where 234U was released from the waste site to a saturated zone. Uranium-234 time-varying emission rates exiting from the source and concentrations at three downgradient locations (0, 150, and 1500 m) were compared for each multimedia model. Time-varying concentrations for 234U decay products at the 1500-m location are also presented. Different results reported for RESRAD, MMSOILS, and MEPAS are solely due to the assumptions and mathematical constructs inherently built into each model, thereby impacting the potential risks predicted by each model. Although many differences were identified between the models, differences that impacted these benchmarking results the most are: (1) RESRAD transports its contaminants by pure translation, and MMSOILS and MEPAS solve the one-dimensional advective, three-dimensional dispersive equation; (2) due to the manner in which the retardation factor is defined, RESRAD contaminant velocities will always be faster than MMSOILS or MEPAS for long-lived contaminants; (3) RESRAD uses a dilution factor to account for a withdrawal well; MMSOILS and MEPAS were designed to calculate in situ concentrations at a receptor location; and (4) RESRAD allows for decay products to travel at different velocities, while MEPAS assumes the decay products travel at the same speed as their parents. MMSOILS does not account for decay products and assumes degradation/decay only in the aqueous phase.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The results are presented of a benchmarking between the multimedia risk assessment models RESRAD, MMSOILS, and MEPAS. Each multimedia model is comprised of a suite of modules (e.g. groundwater, air, surface water, exposure, and risk/hazard), all of which can impact the estimation of human health risk. As a component of the bench-marking exercise, the vadose-zone modules of each model were applied to an environmental release scenario, where 238U was released from the waste site to a vadose zone with two layers. Time-varying emission rates, exiting the source and each of the layers, were compared. Different results are reported for RESRAD, MMSOILS, and MEPAS, which are solely due to the assumptions and mathematical constructs inherently built into each model, thereby impacting the potential risks predicted by each model. RESRAD transports its contaminants by pure translation (i.e. plug flow), and MMSOILS and MEPAS transport contaminants by solving the one-dimensional advective-dispersive equation. Because of the plug-flow assumption, RESRAD generally predicts higher emission rates (and, hence, concentrations). In addition, because of assumptions in the way each model calculates pore-water velocity, RESRAD travel times will always be shorter than MMSOILS, which will always be shorter than MEPAS. Shorter or longer travel times could have a profound impact for contaminants that exhibit significant degradation/decay.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - This paper addresses the city of Shanghai, China, the air-quality problems it faces over the next 30 years, and the potential of advanced technology to alleviate these problems. Population, energy consumption, and emission profiles are developed for the city at 0.1°× 0.1° resolution and extrapolated from 1990 to 2020 using sector-specific economic growth factors. Within the context of the RAINS-Asia model, 8 technology scenarios are examined for their effects on ambient concentrations of sulfur dioxide and sulfate and their emission control costs. Without new control measures, it is projected that the number of people exposed to sulfur dioxide concentrations in excess of guidelines established by the World Health Organization will rise from 650 000 in 1990 to more than 14 million in 2020. It is apparent that efforts to reduce emissions are likely to have significant health benefits, measured in terms of the cost of reducing the number of people exposed to concentrations in excess of the guidelines ($10-50 annually per person protected). Focusing efforts on the control of new coal-fired power plants and industrial facilities has the greatest benefit. However, none of the scenarios examined is alone capable of arresting the increases in emissions, concentrations, and population exposure. It is concluded that combinations of stringent scenarios in several sectors will be necessary to stabilize the situation, at a potential cost of $500 million annually by the year 2020.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The soluble Pb concentration and formation of chloropyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl] were monitored during the reaction of cerrusite (PbCO3), a highly bioavailable soil Pb species, and hydroxyapatite [Ca5(PO4)3OH] at various P/Pb molar ratios under constant and dynamic pH conditions. Under pH-constant systems at pH 4 and below, the dissolution rates of both cerrusite and apatite were rapid, and complete conversion of cerrusite to chloropyromorphite occurred within 60 min when the amount of phosphate added via apatite was stoichiometrically equal to that needed to transform all added Pb into chloropyromorphite. The concentration of soluble Pb depended upon the solubility of chloropyromorphite. The dissolution rates of apatite and cerrusite decreased with increasing pH, and the transformation was incomplete at pH 5 and above in the 60-min reaction period. The soluble Pb level was therefore determined by the solubility of cerrusite. In the pH-dynamic system, which simulated the gastrointestinal tract, a complete transformation of Pb from cerrusite to chloropyromorphite was achieved due to the complete dissolution of apatite and cerrusite at the initial low pH. In both the constant and dynamic pH systems XRD [X-ray diffraction] analysis indicated that chloropyromorphite was the exclusive reaction product. The differences in transformation rate and the Pb solubility between the constant and dynamic pH systems indicate the significance of kinetics in controlling the bioavailability of Pb and the potential for the reaction to occur during ingestion.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Radionuclide and trace element concentrations in bottom-feeding fish (catfish, carp, and suckers) collected from the confluences of some of the major canyons that cross Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) lands with the Rio Grande (RG) and the potential radiological doses from the ingestion of these fish, were determined. Samples of muscle and bone (and viscera in some cases) were analysed for ³H, 90Sr, 137Cs, totU, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, and 241Am and Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Tl. Most radionuclides, with the exception of 90Sr, in the muscle plus bone portions of fish collected from LANL canyons/RG were not higher from fish collected upstream (San Ildefonso/background) of LANL. Strontium-90 in fish muscle plus bone tissue increased (P<0.05) in concentration starting from Los Alamos Canyon, the most upstream confluence (fish contained 3.4 × 10-2 pCi/g or 126 × 10-2 Bq/kg), to Frijoles Canyon, the most downstream confluence (fish contained 14 × 10-2 pCi/g or 518 × 10-2 Bq/kg). Differences in 90Sr concentrations in fish collected downstream and upstream (background) of LANL, however, were very small. Based on the average concentrations (±2SD) of radionuclides in fish tissue from the four LANL confluences, the committed effective dose equivalent from the ingestion of 46 lb (21 kg) (maximum ingestion rate per person per year) of fish muscle plus bone, after the subtraction of background, was 0.1 ± 0.1 mrem y-1 (1.0 ± 1.0 µSv y-1), and was far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem y-1 (1000 µSv y-1). Of the trace elements that were found above the limits of detection (Ba, Cu, and Hg) in fish muscle collected from the confluences of canyons that cross LANL and the RG, none were in significantly higher concentrations than in muscle of fish collected from background locations.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - In this study, molecular species of oxidized lipids that are potent inhibitors of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase [LCAT; phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase] activity were identified. Treatment of LDL with soyabean lipoxygenase generated small quantities of lipid hydroperoxides (20 ± 4 nmol/mg LDL protein, n = 3); but when lipoxygenase-treated LDL (1 mg protein/ml) was recombined with the d > 1.063 g/ml fraction of human plasma, LCAT activity was rapidly inhibited (25 ± 4 and 65 ± 16% reductions by 1 and 3 h, respectively). As phospholipid hydroperoxides (PL-OOH) are the principal oxidation products associated with lipoxygenase-treated LDL, we directly tested whether PL-OOH inhibited plasma LCAT activity. Detailed dose-response curves revealed that as little as 0.2 and 1.0 mole % enrichment of plasma with PL-OOH produced 20 and 50% reductions in LCAT activity by 2 h, respectively. To gain insight into the mechanism of LCAT impairment, the enzyme's free cysteines (Cys31 and Cys184) and active site residues were "capped" with the reversible sulfhydryl compound, DTNB, during exposure to either minimally oxidized LDL or PL-OOH. Reversal of the DTNB "cap" after such exposures revealed that the enzyme was completely protected from both sources of peroxidized phospholipids. We, therefore, conclude that PL-OOH inhibited plasma LCAT activity by modifying the enzyme's free cysteine and/or catalytic residues. These studies are the first to suggest that PL-OOH may accelerate the atherogenic process by impairing LCAT activity.

Subject Subsets: Horticultural Science; Aromatic & Medicinal Plants N2 - The use of medicinal plants in traditional medicine in the Marshall Islands is discussed with reference to the 137Cs contents of plants used in medicinal remedies. This previously unexplored contribution to radiation exposure is an important consideration in determining present-day risks to the Marshallese population from residual weapons' test radioactivity in the environment. The leaves or fruits of 5 medicinal species were sampled at 14 of the 29 atolls of the Marshall Islands. 137Cs concentrations were measured in 295 samples. The concentration of 137Cs in each species generally decreased with increasing distance and decreasing latitude from the atomic weapons testing area in the northern area of the country. Of the species sampled, Polypodium scolopendria exhibited the highest mean 137Cs concentration by several fold. Other species could not be differentiated in terms of 137Cs uptake. The results of calculations to assess possible radiation doses under specific intake scenarios indicate that at most locations in the Marshall Islands, ingestion of these plants for medicinal purposes will not contribute significantly to the total dose received (above background), although the frequency and amount of consumption of these plants is not well known. This study provides the first information of its kind for the assessment of radiation dose to Marshall Islands' residents from locally grown plants used in traditional medicine.

The presence of 16 heterocyclic amines was investigated in the model systems and in the 6 meat types and their corresponding meat drippings to determine the importance of meat composition to heterocyclic amine formation. Nine mutagenic amines (IQ, MeIQ, 8-MeIQx, 4,8-DiMeIQx, PhIP, IQx, IFP, DMIP, and TMIP) were present at concentrations >0.1 ng/g in some of the model systems and in some of the meat or pan residues. Heterocyclic amine concentrations were clearly affected by precursor composition in this model system, and the same 9 heterocyclic amines formed in the meat and in the model system showed that this is a well-controlled surrogate for the reaction conditions that occur in meat during cooking.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The effects of a reduction in dietary fat in men with a persistence of LDL subclass phenotype A (large LDL particles) during both high- and low-fat diets was studied. 38 men who had shown phenotype A after 4-6 weeks of both high- and low-fat diets consumed a 10%-fat diet (2.7% saturates) for 10 days with replacement of fat with carbohydrate and no change in cholesterol content or ratio of polyunsaturates to saturates. In 26 men, phenotype A persisted (stable A group) whereas 12 converted to phenotype B (change group, a predominance of small LDL). LDL cholesterol did not differ from previous values for 20-24%-fat diets in either group, whereas in the change group there were higher concentrations of triacylglycerol and apolipoprotein B; greater mass of HDL, large LDL-I, small LDL-III and LDL-IV, and HDL3; lower concentrations of HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I; and lower mass of large LDL-I and HDL2. It is concluded that there is no apparent lipoprotein benefit of reduction in dietary fat from 20-24% to 10% in men with large LDL particles: LDL-cholesterol concentration was not reduced, and in a subset of subjects there was a shift to small LDL along with increased triacylglycerol and reduced HDL-cholesterol concentrations.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The ability to differentiate microorganisms using pyrolysis-ion trap mass spectrometry was demonstrated for 5 Gram-negative disease-causing organisms: Brucella melitensis, B. suis, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia pestis, and Francisella tularensis. Bacterial profiles were generated for γ-irradiated bacterial samples using pyrolytic methylation and compared for electron ionization and chemical ionization using several liquid reagents with increasing proton affinities. Electron ionization combined with pyrolysis caused extensive fragmentation, resulting in a high abundance of lower mass ions and diminishing the diagnostic value of the technique for compound identification and bacterial profiling. Chemical ionization reduced the amount of fragmentation due to ionization while enhancing the molecular ion region of the fatty acids. As the proton affinity of the reagent increased, the protonated molecular ions of the fatty acids became the predominant ions observed in the mass spectrum. As a result, chemical ionization was shown to be more effective than electron ionization in bacterial profiling. Whereas the bacteria could be distinguished at the genera level using electron ionization, further differentiation to the subspecies level was possible using chemical ionization. The greatest separation among the 5 test organisms, in terms of Euclidean distances, was obtained using ethanol as the chemical ionization reagent and using pooled masses representing specific fatty acid biomarkers rather than total ion profiles.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - [2-14C]2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) was administered orally (304 ng/kg body-weight dose based upon an average 70-kg-body-weight subject) to 5 human colon-cancer patients (58 to 84 years old), as well as to F344 rats and B4C3F1 mice. Colon tissue was collected from the human subjects at surgery and from the rodents 3.5 to 6 hr after administration. Colon DNA-adduct levels and tissue available doses were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The mean levels of MeIQx in the histologically normal colon tissue were not different among the human (97±26 pg MeIQx/g), rat (133±15 pg/g) or mouse (78±10 pg/g) tissues; and no difference existed between the levels detected in human normal and tumour tissue (101±15 pg/g). Mean DNA-adduct levels in normal human colon (26±4 adducts/1012 nucleotides) were significantly greater (p<0.01) than in rats (17.1±1 adduct/1012 nucleotides) or mice (20.6±0.9 adduct/1012 nucleotides).

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This study examined associations between prostate cancer risk and (1) estimated daily intake of heterocyclic amines from cooked meat and (2) level of cooked-meat doneness. A population-based, case-control study involving 317 case patients with prostate cancer and 480 age-matched control subjects was carried out in Auckland, New Zealand. Levels of meat doneness and daily intake of heterocyclic amines were determined from self-reported dietary data and experimentally measured heterocyclic amine levels in locally sourced meat samples cooked under controlled conditions to varying degrees of doneness. The heterocyclic amines found in the highest concentrations in meat samples were 2-amino-1,6-dimethylfuro[3,2-e]imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (IFP) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) from well-done chicken and pork and very well-done beefsteak. Meat doneness was weakly and inconsistently associated with prostate cancer risk for individual types of meat, but increased risk was observed for well-done beefsteak (relative risk=1.68; 95% confidence interval=1.02-2.77; two-sided P for trend=0.03). A weak positive gradient of increased risk was associated with estimated daily exposure to IFP but not with the other major heterocyclic amines. It is concluded that meat doneness and estimated intake of heterocyclic amines from cooked meat were not clearly associated with prostate cancer risk.

N2 - To unveil the molecular clock of HIV-1 a unique set of viruses from a known transmission history with separation times between samples of up to 25 years was analysed. The env V3 and p17gag regions of the genome were sequenced, and genetic distances were estimated by using the true tree and a nucleotide substitution model based on a general reversible Markov process with a gamma distribution to account for differences in substitution rates among sites. Linear regression analysis showed that separation times were significantly correlated with synonymous as well as nonsynonymous nucleotide distances in both V3 and p17, giving strong support for the existence of a molecular clock. The estimated rate of nucleotide substitution was 6.7±2.1×10-3 substitutions/site per year in V3 and 2.7±0.5×10-3 in p17. Importantly, the regression analyses showed that there was a significant genetic distance at zero divergence times. This pretransmission interval exists because the ramifications in the phylogenetic trees do not correspond to time of transmission, but rather to the coalescence time of the most recent common ancestor of the viruses carried by the transmitter and the recipient. Simulation experiments showed that neither the V3 nor the p17 clocks were overdispersed, which indicated that the introduction of nucleotide substitutions can be described adequately by a simple stochastic Poisson process. The new nucleotide sequences were deposited in the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ database under accession numbers U68496-U68521.

Number of References: 44 ref. N2 - Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) provide a reservoir for HIV type 1 (HIV-1) that may reignite infection if highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is withdrawn before virus on FDC is cleared. To estimate the treatment time required to eliminate HIV-1 on FDC, deterministic and stochastic models were developed for the reversible binding of HIV-1 to FDC via ligand-receptor interactions and the consequences of reducing the virus available for binding to FDC were examined. Analysis of these models showed that the rate at which HIV-1 dissociates from FDC during HAART is biphasic, with an initial period of rapid decay followed by a period of slower exponential decay. The speed of the slower second stage of dissociation and the treatment time required to eradicate the FDC reservoir of HIV-1 were insensitive to the number of virions bound and their degree of attachment to FDC before treatment. In contrast, the expected time required for dissociation of an individual virion from FDC varied sensitively with the number of ligands attached to the virion that are available to interact with receptors on FDC. Although most virions may dissociate from FDC on the time scale of days to weeks, virions coupled to a higher than-average number of ligands may persist on FDC for years. This result suggests that HAART may not be able to clear all HIV-1 trapped on FDC and that, even if clearance is possible, years of treatment will be required.

N2 - Recent studies of HIV RNA in infected individuals show that viral levels vary widely between individuals and within the same individual over time. Individuals with higher viral loads during the chronic phase tend to develop AIDS more rapidly. If RNA levels are correlated with infectiousness, these variations explain puzzling results from HIV transmission studies and suggest that a small subset of infected people may be responsible for a disproportionate number of infections. We use two simple models to study the impact of variations in infectiousness. In the first model, we account for different levels of virus between individuals during the chronic phase of infection, and the increase in the average time from infection to AIDS that goes along with a decreased viral load. The second model follows the more standard hypothesis that infected individuals progress through a series of infection stages, with the infectiousness of a person depending upon his current disease stage. We derive and compare threshold conditions for the two models and find explicit formulas of their endemic equilibria. We show that formulas for both models can be put into a standard form, which allows for a clear interpretation. We define the relative impact of each group as the fraction of infections being caused by that group. We use these formulas and numerical simulations to examine the relative importance of different stages of infection and different chronic levels of virus to the spreading of the disease. The acute stage and the most infectious group both appear to have a disproportionate effect, especially on the early epidemic. Contact tracing to identify super-spreaders and alertness to the symptoms of acute HIV infection may both be needed to contain this epidemic.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Recent studies have indicated that the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) may play an important role in the uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester in liver and steroidogenic tissues. To investigate the in vivo effects of liver-specific SR-BI over-expression on lipid metabolism, several lines of SR-BI transgenic mice with an SR-BI genomic construct where the SR-BI promoter region had been replaced by the apolipoprotein (apo)A-I promoter were created. The effect of constitutively increased SR-BI expression on plasma HDL and non-HDL lipoproteins and apolipoproteins was characterized. There was an inverse correlation between SR-BI expression and apoA-I and HDL cholesterol levels in transgenic mice fed mouse chow or a diet high in fat and cholesterol. An unexpected finding in the SR-BI transgenic mice was the dramatic impact of the SR-BI transgenic on non-HDL cholesterol and apoB whose levels were also inversely correlated with SR-BI expression. Consistent with the decrease in plasma HDL and non-HDL cholesterol was an accelerated clearance of HDL, non-HDL, and their major associated apolipoproteins in the transgenics compared with control animals. These in vivo studies of the effect of SR-BI overexpression on plasma lipoproteins support the previously proposed hypothesis that SR-BI accelerates the metabolism of HDL and also highlight the capacity of this receptor to participate in the metabolism of non-HDL lipoproteins.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The cell adhesion molecule intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) plays a pivotal role in inflammatory responses. Quercetin (3,3′,4′,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone), a naturally occurring dietary flavonol, has potent anti-inflammatory properties. The effect of quercetin on ICAM-1 expression induced by agonists phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in human endothelial cell line ECV304 (ECV) was investigated. Quercetin treatment downregulated PMA- and TNF-α-induced surface expression, as well as the ICAM-1 mRNA levels, in ECV cells in a dose-dependent (10-50 µM) manner. Quercetin had no effect on PMA- or TNF-α-induced nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. However, under similar conditions there was a dose-dependent downregulation of activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation. This decrease in AP-1 activation was observed to be associated with the inhibitory effects of quercetin on the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. It is concluded that quercetin downregulates PMA- and TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression by inhibiting AP-1 activation and the JNK pathway.

Recent studies have estimated daily dietary intakes of HCAs that vary 10-fold and implicated different cooked meats as the prime source of HCAs in the diet. These varied estimates can be attributed to the different dietary assessment methods used in these studies, as well as the different levels of HCAs ascribed to the most commonly consumed cooked meats. Epidemiological studies using information on dietary practice and food intake have found higher risks for several cancers among individuals consuming the highest levels of HCAs.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Human Nutrition N2 - Disorders of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclass distribution are more common contributors to coronary artery disease (CAD) than is elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC). Recent research has emphasized the importance of LDL and HDL subclass distribution in patient management and response to treatments. Laboratory determination of LDL and HDL subclass distribution involves analytic ultracentrifugation or polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. If subclass distribution is to be used for patient management, research quality control and standards are necessary in order to assure that the patient's values accurately reflect the metabolic disorder. The importance of this topic for patient care has been recognized by the medical insurance industry. Investigations employing electron beam computed tomography in asymptomatic individuals has revealed that 50% with established CAD have normal lipids by National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) criteria. However, a large proportion of other metabolic contributors to CAD are not revealed by routine blood tests.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - A study was conducted to compare the indicators of heterocyclic amine (HCA) exposure with HCA concentrations in home-cooked meat samples. Pan-fried hamburger and steak samples were obtained from individuals stating a preference for medium, well done and very well done meat. Concentrations of DiMeIQx, IFP, MeIQx and PhIP were determined by HPLC. Results revealed that HCA concentrations at the 3 doneness levels were not significantly different using the participants' self-reported doneness preference to categorize samples. Using doneness levels determined at the time the meat was cooked and photograph analysis to categorize samples, HCA concentrations increased with doneness level and significant differences were observed between the very well done and lower doneness levels. When assigned to doneness levels by photograph analysis, mean concentrations (ng/g cooked meat) of DiMeIQx, IFP, MeIQx, and PhIP were 0.18, 0.16, 0.65 and 0.47 in well done hamburger and 0.61, 0.74, 1.88 and 2.04 in very well done hamburger, respectively. In steak, mean concentrations were 0.24, 0.10, 0.79 and 0.59 in well done steak and 0.45, 0.14, 1.87 and 0.62 in very well done steak, respectively. HCA levels in home-cooked meat samples were significantly different when samples were visually classified for doneness, but not when self-reported doneness preference was used to classify doneness.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Biotechnology; Animal Breeding N2 - Genetic factors affecting postnatal γ-globin expression-a major modifier of the severity of both β-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia-have been difficult to study. This is especially so in mice, an organism lacking a globin gene with an expression pattern equivalent to that of human γ-globin. To model the human β-cluster in mice, with the goal of screening for loci affecting human γ-globin expression in vivo, we introduced a human β-globin cluster YAC transgene into the genome of FVB/N mice. The β-cluster contained a Greek hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) γ allele, resulting in postnatal expression of human γ-globin in transgenic mice. The level of human γ-globin for various F1 hybrids derived from crosses between the FVB/N transgenics and other inbred mouse strains was assessed. The γ-globin level of the (C3HeB/FeJ × FVB/N)F1 transgenic mice was noted to be significantly elevated. To map genes affecting postnatal γ-globin expression, we performed a 20-centiMorgan (cM) genome scan of a (C3HeB/FeJ × FVB/N)F1 transgenics × FVB/N backcross, followed by high-resolution marker analysis of promising loci. From this analysis we mapped a locus within an 18-cM interval of mouse Chromosome (Chr) 1 (LOD = 4.3) that contributes 10.9% of variation in γ-globin level. Combining transgenic modelling of the human β-globin gene cluster with quantitative trait analysis, we have identified and mapped a murine locus that impacts on human γ-globin level in vivo.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Poultry N2 - Many studies suggest that mutagenic/carcinogenic chemicals in the diet, like 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), may play a role in human cancer initiation. A method was developed to quantify PhIP metabolites in human urine and have applied it to samples from female volunteers who had eaten a meal of cooked chicken. For this analysis, urine samples (5 ml) were spiked with a deuterium-labelled internal standard, adsorbed to a macroporous polymeric column and then eluted with methanol. After a solvent exchange to 0.01 M HCl, the urine extracts were passed through a filter, applied to a benzenesulfonic acid column, washed with methanol/acid and eluted with ammonium acetate and concentrated on a C18 column. The metabolites were eluted from the C18 column and quantified by LC/MS/MS. In studies of human PhIP metabolism, eight volunteers were fed 200 g of cooked chicken containing a total of 27 µg PhIP. Urine samples were collected for 24 h after the meal, in 6 h aliquots. Although no metabolites could be found in urine collected from volunteers before eating the chicken, four major human PhIP metabolites, N2-OH-PhIP-N2-glucuronide, PhIP-N2-glucuronide, 4'-PhIP-sulfate and N2-OH-PhIP-N3-glucuronide, were found in the urine after the chicken meal. The volunteers in the study excreted 4-53% of the ingested PhIP dose in the urine. The rate of metabolite excretion varied among the subjects, however, in all of the subjects the majority of the metabolites were excreted in the first 12 h. Very little metabolite was detected in the urine after 18 h. In humans, N2-OH-PhIP-N2 glucuronide is the most abundant urinary metabolite, followed by PhIP-N2-glucuronide. The variation seen in the total amount, excretion time and metabolite ratios with the method suggests that individual digestion, metabolism and/or other components of the diet may influence the absorption and amounts of metabolic products produced from PhIP.

Subject Subsets: Horticultural Science; Aromatic & Medicinal Plants N2 - Supplementation of diets with plant extracts for health and prevention of degenerative diseases is popular. However the molecular basis of their therapeutic potentials are poorly defined. We hypothesized that in vitro assays that enable quantitative analysis of the gene expression profiles combined with targeted biochemical analysis can identify the potential effects of phytochemicals. The hypothesis was tested by application of GeneChips to define mRNA expressions of a human bladder cancer cell line incubated with a flavonoid containing extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves. The analysis of the transcriptional response revealed a net activation of transcription. Functional classification of the affected mRNAs showed the largest changes in the abundance of mRNAs for intracellular vesicular transport, mitochondria, transcription and antioxidants. The transcripts for heme oxygenase 1 [heme oxygenase (decyclizing)], mitochondrial superoxide dismutase and the regulatory subunit of γ-glutamylcysteinyl synthetase [glutamate--cysteine ligase] and their encoded proteins were elevated. The extract also increased intracellular glutathione, the transcripts for DNA repair and synthesis, and decreased 3H-thymidine incorporation. These results demonstrate that a flavonoid-containing extract initiates an adaptive transcriptional response that augments the "antioxidant status" of the cells and inhibits DNA damage. These in vitro studies using GeneChips demonstrated a promising strategy for identifying nutritional supplement-induced cellular responses that may have a role in counteracting chronic human diseases.

Number of References: 20 ref. Subject Subsets: Agroforestry; Forestry; Soils & Fertilizers; Forest Products N2 - One of the dominant tree species growing within and around the eastern portion of the lands of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, USA, is the pinon pine (Pinus edulis). Pinon pine is used for firewood, fence posts, and building materials, and is also a source of nuts for food - the seeds are consumed by a wide variety of animals and are also gathered by people in the area and eaten raw or roasted. This study investigated the (1) concentration of ³H, 137Cs, 90Sr, totU, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, and 241Am in soil samples at 0-12 in (31 cm) depth under trees, in pinon pine shoots (PPS), and pinon pine nuts (PPN), collected from LANL lands and from regional background (BG) locations, (2) committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from the ingestion of nuts, and (3) soil to PPS to PPN concentration ratios (CRs). Most radionuclides, with the exception of ³H in soils, were not significantly higher (p<0.10) in soils, PPS, and PPN collected from LANL and from the BG locations, and concentrations of most radionuclides in PPN from LANL have decreased over time. The maximum net CEDE (the CEDE plus two sigma minus BG) at the most conservative ingestion rate (10 lb or 4.5 kg) was 0.0018 mrem (0.018 µSv); this is far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem (1000 µSv). Soil-to-nut CRs for most radionuclides were within the range of default values in the literature for common fruits and vegetables.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - We previously reported that upper thoracic exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) accelerates fatty streak formation in C57BL/6 mice and that such effects are inhibited by overexpression of the antioxidant enzyme CuZn-superoxide dismutase (SOD). Notably, IR-accelerated lesion formation is strictly dependent on a high fat diet (i.e., atherogenic lipoproteins) but does not involve alterations in circulating lipid or lipoprotein levels. We thus proposed that IR promotes changes in the artery wall that enhance the deposition of lipoprotein lipids. To address this hypothesis, we examined the effects of IR on aortic accumulation and degradation of low density lipoproteins (LDL). Ten-week-old C57BL/6 mice were exposed to a single (8-Gy) dose of 60Co radiation to the upper thoracic area or were sham irradiated (controls) and were then placed on the high-fat diet. Five days postexposure, the mice received either 125I-labeled LDL (125I-LDL) (which was used to measure intact LDL) or 125I-labeled tyramine cellobiose (125I-TC)-LDL (which was used to measure both intact and cell-degraded LDL) via tail vein injection. On the basis of trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-precipitable counts in retroorbital blood samples, ≥95% of donor LDL was cleared within 24 h and there were no differences in time-averaged plasma concentrations of the two forms of LDL among irradiated and control mice. Aortic values increased markedly within the first hour and thereafter exhibited a slow increase up to 24 h. There were no differences between irradiated and control mice at 1 h, when values primarily reflected LDL entry, but a divergence was observed thereafter. At 24 h, 125I-TC-associated counts were 1.8-fold higher in irradiated mice (P=0.10). In contrast, 125I-LDL-associated counts were 30% lower in irradiated mice (P<0.05), suggesting that most of the retained 125I-TC was associated with LDL degradation products. Consistent with the proposed involvement of oxidative or redox-regulated events, IR-induced LDL degradation was lower in SOD-transgenic than wild-type mice (P<0.05). The importance of LDL oxidation was suggested by observations that IR-induced LDL degradation was significantly reduced by preenriching LDL with α-tocopherol. On the basis of these results, we propose that IR elicits SOD-inhibitable changes in the artery wall that enhance LDL oxidation and degradation leading to the deposition of LDL-borne lipids. These studies provide additional support for the role of oxidation in lipoprotein lipid deposition and atherogenesis and suggest that IR promotes an arterial environment that stimulates this process in vivo.

The formation of the mutagenic amine IFP (determined to be 2-amino-(1,6-dimethylfuro[3,2-e]imidazo[4,5-b])pyridine) was investigated by varying heating time, heating temperature, and precursors. With an optimized mixture of glutamine, creatine, and glucose, heated at 200°C for 60 min., 2 mg of IFP was purified for studies to define its structure. Trideuteriomethyl-IFP was made from trideuteriomethylcreatinine in the model system for use in LC-MS detection of IFP in foods. Analysis of well-done meats purchased from restaurants showed about half to contain IFP at levels from 1.4 to 46 ng/g of cooked meat, demonstrating human exposure to this mutagen.

Positron emission tomography (PET) was used to measure the effects of G. biloba on human brain MAO A and B in 10 subjects treated for 1 month with 120 mg/day of the G. biloba extract EGb 761, using [11C]clorgyline and [11C]L-deprenyl-D2 to measure MAO A and B, respectively. A 3-compartment model was used to calculate the plasma to brain transfer constant K1 which is related to blood flow, and λk3, a model term which is a function of the concentration of catalytically active MAO molecules. G. biloba administration did not produce significant changes in brain MAO A or B suggesting that mechanisms other than MAO inhibition need to be considered as mediating some of its CNS effects.

Number of References: 24 ref. N2 - An algorithm for bacterial identification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry is being developed. This mass spectral finger-print comparison algorithm is fully automated and statistically based, providing objective analysis of samples to be identified. Based on extraction of reference finger-print ions from test spectra, this approach should lend itself well to real-world applications where samples are likely to be impure. This algorithm is illustrated using a blind study. In the study, MALDI-MS fingerprints for Bacillus atrophaeus ATCC 49337, Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579T, Escherichia coli ATCC 33694, Pantoea agglomerans ATCC 33243, and Pseudomonas putida F1 are collected and form a reference library. The identification of test samples containing one or more reference bacteria, potentially mixed with one species not in the library (Shewanella alga BrY), is performed by comparison to the reference library with a calculated degree of association. Out of 60 samples, no false positives are present, and the correct identification rate is 75%. Missed identifications are largely due to a weak B. cereus signal in the bacterial mixtures. Potential modifications to the algorithm are presented and result in a higher than 90% correct identification rate for the blind study data, suggesting that this approach has the potential for reliable and accurate automated data analysis of MALDI-MS.

Subject Subsets: Animal Nutrition; Human Nutrition; Agricultural Biotechnology; Animal Breeding N2 - The targeted deletion of a 450-kb region on mouse chromosome 11, which, based on computational analysis of the deleted mouse sequences and human 5q orthologous sequences, codes for 9 putative genes, is described. Mice homozygous for the deletion had a variety of abnormalities, including severe hypertriglyceridaemia, hepatic and cardiac enlargement, growth retardation and premature mortality. The mice had a several-fold increase in hepatic very-low density lipoprotein triglyceride secretion, the most prevalent mechanism responsible for hypertriglyceridaemia in humans. A series of mouse bacterial artificial chromosome and human yeast artificial chromosome transgenes covering different intervals of the 450-kb deleted region were assessed for their ability to complement the deletion-induced abnormalities. Organic cation transporter 2 (OCTN2), a gene recently shown to play a role in carnitine transport, was able to correct the triglyceride abnormalities.

Number of References: 39 ref. N2 - Drug treatment of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) infection leads to a rapid initial decay of plasma virus followed by a slower second phase of decay. To investigate the role of HIV-1 retained on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in this process, we have developed and analysed a mathematical model for HIV-1 dynamics in lymphoid tissue (LT) that includes FDCs. Analysis of clinical data using this model indicates that decay of HIV-1 during therapy may be influenced by release of FDC-associated virus. The biphasic character of viral decay can be explained by reversible multivalent binding of HIV-1 to receptors on FDCs, indicating that the second phase of decay is not necessarily caused by long-lived or latently infected cells. Furthermore, viral clearance and death of short-lived productively infected cells may be faster than previously estimated. The model, with reasonable parameter values, is consistent with kinetic measurements of viral RNA in plasma, viral RNA on FDCs, productively infected cells in LT, and CD4+ T cells in LT during therapy.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Public Health; Irrigation & Drainage N2 - Quantitative assessments of potential human-health consequences from contaminants in environmental media routinely involve conservative deterministic, screening-level calculations of exposure and risk. Because these calculations generally are based on multiple upper-bound point estimates of input parameters, particularly for exposure attributes, they can yield results for decision makers that actually overstate the need for costly remediation. Alternatively, quantifying uncertainty and variability in exposure can provide a more informative and quantitative characterization of health risk. To illustrate, uncertainty and variability in exposure were analysed for a hypothetical population at a specific site in California (USA) where there is trichloroethylene contaminated groundwater and a potential for its residential use. When uncertainty and variability in exposure were addressed jointly, the 95th-percentile upper-bound value of individual excess lifetime cancer risk was a factor approaching 10 lower than the most conservative deterministic estimate. Also, the probability of more than zero additional cases of cancer can be estimated, and in this case study it is less than 0.5 for a prospective residential population of up to 26 900 individuals present for any 7.6-year interval of a 70-year time period. Clearly, this probabilistic approach can provide reasonable and equitable risk-acceptability criteria for contaminated sites.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The extreme variability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) makes it possible to conduct transmission studies on the basis of genetic analysis and to trace global and local patterns in the spread of the virus. Two such patterns are discussed in this paper. First, in many European countries (e.g., Scotland and Germany), homosexual men tend to be infected with a subtly different variant of HIV-1 than intravenous drug users. In other European countries (e.g., Norway and Sweden), a distinction is also found between the 2 risk groups; but based on available data, the distinction is a different one. The second pattern is a worldwide tendency for homosexual men in many different geographical regions around the world to carry HIV-1 subtype B, the variant that is most prevalent in the Americas, Europe, and Australia. In contrast, people infected via other routes (mostly heterosexual contact) in those same countries carry a mixture of other subtypes. Biological differences between the viruses infecting different risk groups have not been found; the most likely explanation for the findings is different epidemiological patterns. Although data are still scarce, the authors attempt to use these patterns in the reconstruction of the worldwide spread of the HIV epidemic.

N2 - The thresholds for mathematical epidemiology models specify the critical conditions for an epidemic to grow or die out. The reproductive number can provide significant insight into the transmission dynamics of a disease and can guide strategies to control its spread. We define the mean number of contacts, the mean duration of infection, and the mean transmission probability appropriately for certain epidemiological models, and construct a simplified formulation of the reproductive number as the product of these quantities. When the spread of the epidemic depends strongly upon the heterogeneity of the populations, the epidemiological models must account for this heterogeneity, and the expressions for the reproductive number become correspondingly more complex. We formulate several models with different heterogeneous structures and demonstrate how to define the mean quantities for an explicit expression for the reproductive number. In complex heterogeneous models, it seems necessary to define the reproductive number for each structured subgroup or cohort and then use the average of these reproductive numbers weighted by their heterogeneity to estimate the reproductive number for the total population.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - HT4 hippocampal neuronal cells were studied to compare the efficacy of tocopherols and tocotrienol to protect against glutamate-induced death. Tocotrienols were more effective than α-tocopherol in preventing glutamate-induced death. Uptake of tocotrienols from the culture medium was more efficient compared with that of α-tocopherol. Vitamin E molecules have potent antioxidant properties. Results show that at low concentrations, tocotrienols may have protected cells by an antioxidant-independent mechanism. Examination of signal transduction pathways revealed that protein tyrosine phosphorylation processes played a central role in the execution of death. Activation of pp60c-Src kinase and phosphorylation of ERK were observed in response to glutamate treatment. Nanomolar amounts of α-tocotrienol, but not α-tocopherol, blocked glutamate-induced death by suppressing glutamate-induced early activation of c-Src kinase. Overexpression of kinase-active c-Src sensitized cells to glutamate-induced death. Tocotrienol treatment prevented death of Src-overexpressing cells treated with glutamate. α-Tocotrienol did not influence activity of recombinant c-Src kinase suggesting that its mechanism of action may include regulation of SH domains. This study provides first evidence describing the molecular basis of tocotrienol action. At a concentration 4-10-fold lower than levels detected in plasma of supplemented humans, tocotrienol regulated unique signal transduction processes that were not sensitive to comparable concentrations of tocopherol.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Biotechnology; Human Nutrition N2 - Both in vitro and in vivo studies of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) have implicated it as a likely participant in the metabolism of HDL cholesterol. To investigate the effect of SR-BI on atherogenesis, we examined two lines of SR-BI transgenic mice with high (10-fold increases) and low (2-fold increases) SR-BI expression in an inbred mouse background hemizygous for a human apolipoprotein (apo) B transgene. Unlike non-HDL cholesterol levels that minimally differed in the various groups of animals, HDL cholesterol levels were inversely related to SR-BI expression. Mice with the low expression SR-BI transgene had a 50% reduction in HDL cholesterol, whereas the high expression SR-BI transgene was associated with 2-fold decreases in HDL cholesterol as well as dramatic alterations in HDL composition and size including the near absence of α-migrating particles as determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The low expression SR-BI/apo B transgenics had more than a 2-fold decrease in the development of diet-induced fatty streak lesions compared with the apo B transgenics (4448±1908 µm²/aorta to 10133±4035 µm²/aorta; p<0.001), whereas the high expression SR-BI/apo B transgenics had an atherogenic response similar to that of the apo B transgenics (14692±7238 µm²/aorta) but 3-fold greater than the low SR-BI/apo B mice (p<0.001). The prominent anti-atherogenic effect of moderate SR-BI expression provides in vivo support for the hypothesis that HDL functions to inhibit atherogenesis through its interactions with SR-BI in facilitating reverse cholesterol transport. The failure of the high SR-BI/apo B transgenics to have similar or even greater reductions in atherogenesis suggests that the changes resulting from extremely high SR-BI expression including dramatic changes in lipoproteins may have both pro- and anti-atherogenic consequences, illustrating the complexity of the relationship between SR-BI and atherogenesis.

N2 - HIV-1 sequences were analysed to estimate the timing of the ancestral sequence of the main group of HIV-1, the strains responsible for the AIDS pandemic. Using parallel supercomputers and assuming a constant rate of evolution, we applied maximum-likelihood phylogenetic methods to unprecedented amounts of data for this calculation. The approach was validated by correctly estimating the timing of two historically documented points. Using a comprehensive full-length envelope sequence alignment, the date of the last common ancestor of the main group of HIV-1 was estimated to be 1931 (1915-41). Analysis of a gag gene alignment, subregions of envelope including additional sequences, and a method that relaxed the assumption of a strict molecular clock also supported these results.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Infection of erythrocytes by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum results in the export of several parasite proteins into the erythrocyte cytoplasm. Changes occur in the infected erythrocyte due to altered phosphorylation of proteins and to novel interactions between host and parasite proteins, particularly at the membrane skeleton. In erythrocytes, the spectrin based red cell membrane skeleton is linked to the erythrocyte plasma membrane through interactions of ankyrin with spectrin and band 3. Here we report an association between the P. falciparum histidine-rich protein (PfHRP1) and phosphorylated proteolytic fragments of red cell ankyrin. Immunochemical, biochemical and biophysical studies indicate that the 89 kDa band 3 binding domain and the 62 kDa spectrin-binding domain of ankyrin are co-precipitated by mAb 89 against PfHRP1, and that native and recombinant ankyrin fragments bind to the 5′ repeat region of PfHRP1. PfHRP1 is responsible for anchoring the parasite cytoadherence ligand to the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, and this additional interaction with ankyrin would strengthen the ability of PfEMP1 to resist shear stress.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The initial risk assessment for the East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC) floodplain in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA, a Superfund site heavily contaminated with mercury, was based on a reference dose for mercuric chloride. Mercuric chloride, however, is a soluble mercury compound not expected to be present in the floodplain, which is frequently saturated with water. Previous investigations had suggested that mercury in the EFPC floodplain was less soluble and therefore potentially less bioavailable than mercuric chloride, possibly making the results of the risk assessment unduly conservative. A bioaccessibility study, designed to measure the amount of mercury available for absorption in a child's digestive tract (the most critical risk pathway endpoint), was performed on 20 soils from the EFPC floodplain. The average bioaccessible mercury for the 20 soils was 5.3%, compared with 100% of the mercuric chloride subjected to the same conditions. The alteration of the procedure to more closely mimic conditions in the digestive tract did not significantly change the results. Therefore, the use of a reference dose for mercuric chloride at EFPC, and potentially at other mercury-contaminated sites, without incorporating a corresponding bioavailability adjustment factor may overestimate the risk posed by the site.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The objective of this assessment is to determine what level of cleanup will be required to meet regulatory and stakeholder needs in the case of a chemical and/or biological incident at a civilian facility. A literature review for selected, potential chemical and biological warfare agents shows that dose information is often lacking or controversial. Environmental regulatory limits or other industrial health guidelines that could be used to help establish cleanup concentration levels for such agents are generally unavailable or not applicable for a public setting. Although dose information, cleanup criteria, and decontamination protocols all present challenges to effective planning, several decontamination approaches are available. Such approaches should be combined with risk-informed decision making to establish reasonable cleanup goals for protecting health, property, and resources. Key issues during a risk assessment are to determine exactly what constitutes a safety hazard and whether decontamination is necessary or not for a particular scenario. An important conclusion is that cleanup criteria are site dependent and stakeholder specific. The results of a modeling exercise for two outdoor scenarios are presented to reinforce this conclusion. Public perception of risk to health, public acceptance of recommendations based on scientific criteria, political support, time constraints, and economic concerns must all be addressed in the context of a specific scenario to yield effective and acceptable decontamination.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Human Nutrition; Poultry N2 - Heterocyclic amines (HAs) formed in fried, broiled or grilled meats are potent mutagens that increase rates of colon, mammary, prostate and other cancers in bioassay rodents. Studies of how human dietary HA exposures may affect cancer risks have so far relied on fairly crudely defined HA-exposure categories. Recently, an integrated, quantitative approach to HA-exposure assessment (HAEA) was developed to estimate compound-specific intakes for particular individuals based on corresponding HA-concentration estimates that reflect their meat-type, intake-rate, cooking-method and meat-doneness preferences. This method was applied in the present study to US national Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) data on meats consumed and cooking methods used by >25 000 people, after adjusting for underreported energy intake and conditional on meat-doneness preferences estimated from additional survey data. The US population average lifetime time-weighted average of total HAs consumed was estimated to be ~9 ng/kg/day, with 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b] pyridine (PhIP) estimated to comprise about two-thirds of this intake. Pan-fried meats were the largest source of HA in the diet and chicken the largest source of HAs among different meat types. Estimated total HA intakes by male vs. female children were generally similar, with those by (0- to 15-year-old) children ~25% greater than those by (16+-year-old) adults. Race-, age- and sex-specific mean HA intakes were estimated to be greatest for African American males, who were estimated to consume ~2- and ~3-fold more PhIP than white males at ages <16 and 30+ years, respectively, after considering a relatively greater preference for more well-done items among African Americans based on national survey data. This difference in PhIP intakes may at least partly explain why prostate cancer (PC) kills ~2-fold more African American than white men, in view of experimental data indicating that PhIP mutates prostate DNA and causes prostate tumours in rats.

Crystal structures of OspC have been determined for strains HB19 and B31 to 1.8 and 2.5 Å resolution, respectively. The three-dimensional structure is predominantly helical. This is in contrast to the structure of OspA, a major surface protein mainly present when spirochetes are residing in the midgut of unfed ticks, which is mostly β-sheet. The surface of OspC that would project away from the spirochete's membrane has a region of strong negative electrostatic potential which may be involved in binding to positively charged host ligands. This feature is present only on OspCs from strains known to cause invasive human disease.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - We have tested whether differences in distribution and dietary responsiveness of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subclasses contribute to the variability in the magnitude of LDL-cholesterol reduction induced by diets low in total and saturated fat and high in carbohydrate. Our studies have focused on a common, genetically influenced metabolic profile, characterized by a predominance of small, dense LDL particles (subclass pattern B), that is associated with a two- to threefold increase in risk for coronary artery disease. We have found that healthy normolipidaemic individuals with this trait show a greater reduction in LDL cholesterol and particle number in response to low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets than do unaffected individuals (subclass pattern A). Moreover, such diets result in reduced LDL particle size, with induction of pattern B in a substantial proportion of pattern A men. Recent studies have indicated that this response is under genetic influence. Future identification of the specific genes involved may lead to improved targeting of dietary therapies aimed at reducing cardiovascular disease risk.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Mercury-bearing material has been placed in municipal landfills from a wide array of sources including fluorescent lights, batteries, electrical switches, thermometers, and general waste. Despite its known volatility, persistence, and toxicity in the environment, the fate of mercury in landfills has not been widely studied. The nature of landfills designed to reduce waste through generation of methane by anaerobic bacteria suggests the possibility that these systems might also serve as bioreactors for the production of methylated mercury compounds. The toxicity of such species mandates the need to determine if they are emitted in municipal landfill gas (LFG). In a previous study, we had measured levels of total gaseous mercury (TGM) in LFG in the µg/m3 range in two Florida landfills, and elevated levels of monomethyl mercury (MMM) were identified in LFG condensate, suggesting the possible existence of gaseous organic Hg compounds in LFG. In the current study, we measured TGM, Hg0, and methylated mercury compounds directly in LFG from another Florida landfill (USA). Again, TGM was in the µg/m3 range, MMM was found in condensate, and this time we positively identified dimethyl mercury (DMM) in the LGF in the ng/m3 range. These results identify landfills as a possible anthropogenic source of DMM emissions to air, and may help explain the reports of MMM in continental rainfall.

Number of References: 53 ref. Subject Subsets: Poultry; Human Nutrition N2 - Heterocyclic amines (HAs) are formed in numerous cooked foods commonly consumed in the diet. A method was developed to estimate dietary HA levels using HA concentrations in experimentally cooked meats reported in the literature and meat consumption data obtained from a national dietary survey. Cooking variables (meat internal temperature and weight loss, surface temperature and time) were used to develop relationships for estimating total HA concentrations in six meat types. Concentrations of five individual HAs were estimated for specific meat type/cooking method combinations based on linear regression of total and individual HA values obtained from the literature. Using these relationships, total and individual HA concentrations were estimated for 21 meat type/cooking method combinations at four meat doneness levels. Reported consumption of the 21 meat type/cooking method combinations was obtained from a national dietary survey and the age-specific daily HA intake calculated using the estimated HA concentrations (ng/g) and reported meat intakes. Estimated mean daily total HA intakes for children (to age 15 years) and adults (30+ years) were 11 and 7.0 ng/kg/day, respectively, with 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) estimated to comprise approximately 65% of each intake. Pan-fried meats were the largest source of HA in the diet and chicken the largest source of HAs among the different meat types.

Relative efficacies based on the rate of decline of HIV-1 RNA levels in plasma over the first 14 to 21 days correlated with drug dose and viral load reduction by day 56. Calculation of relative treatment efficacies over the first 2 to 3 weeks of treatment can allow rapid assessment of new antiretroviral agents and dosing regimens, reducing the need to keep subjects in clinical trials on monotherapy for prolonged periods of time.

New developments in illumination sources, digital signal processing and microsphere chemistry are driving the development of flow cytometry in new areas of biomedical research. In particular, the maturation of approaches to perform highly parallel analyses using suspension arrays of microspheres with different morphospectral features is making flow cytometry an important tool in protein and genetic analysis. In this paper, we review the development of suspension array technology (SAT), current applications in protein and genomic analysis, and the prospects for this platform in a variety of large scale screening applications.

Subject Subsets: Sugar Industry; Human Nutrition N2 - Positive- and negative-ion electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry is used for direct analysis of five wines (California Red, Corbiere, Zinfandel, Beaujolais, and Sauvignon Blanc), without any prior separation or purification steps. The high mass resolving power (typically m/Δm50%≥80 000, in which Δm50% is mass spectral peak full width at half-maximum peak height) and mass accuracy (≤1 ppm) of FT-ICR mass spectrometry make it ideal for the study of complex mixtures such as wine, because the components are simultaneously resolved and identified as to elemental composition. Moreover, the high dynamic range of the instrument is advantageous for identifying trace components. The positive-ion mass spectra obtained from the wines were somewhat similar and were dominated by sucrose and (for red wines) anthocyanins. More than 30 compounds (phenolics and carbohydrates) were identified. The negative-ion mass spectra exhibited much greater variation among different wines, with several compounds peculiar to each wine. Elemental compositions could be assigned with high confidence to 76-94% of negative ions of >10% relative abundance. The present results suggest that it may be possible to fingerprint a wine on the basis of its negative-ion ESI FT-ICR mass spectrum.

N2 - Rapid detection and characterization of food borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 is crucial for epidemiological investigations and food safety surveillance. As an alternative to conventional technologies, we examined the sensitivity and specificity of nucleic acid microarrays for detecting and genotyping E. coli O157:H7. The array was composed of oligonucleotide probes (25-30 mer) complementary to four virulence loci (intimin, Shiga-like toxins I and II, and hemolysin A). Target DNA was amplified from whole cells or from purified DNA via single or multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR products were hybridized to the array without further modification or purification. The array was 32-fold more sensitive than gel electrophoresis and capable of detecting amplification products from < 1 cell equivalent of genomic DNA (1 fg). Immunomagnetic capture, PCR and a microarray were subsequently used to detect 55 CFU ml-1 (E. coli O157:H7) from chicken rinsate without the aid of pre-enrichment. Four isolates of E. coli O157:H7 and one isolate of O91:H2, for which genotypic data were available, were unambiguously genotyped with this array. Glass-based microarrays are relatively simple to construct and provide a rapid and sensitive means to detect multiplexed PCR products; the system is amenable to automation.

Both the cell concentration system and microarray detection method did not require cell growth or enrichment from the poultry carcass rinse prior to IMS. Highly porous Ni foam was used to enhance the magnetic field gradient within the flow path, providing a mechanism for immobilizing immunomagnetic particles throughout the fluid rather than the tubing wall. A maximum of 32% recovery efficiency of non-pathogenic E. coli was achieved within the automated system with 6 s cell contact times using commercially available antibodies targeted against the O and K antigens. A 15-min protocol (from sample injection though elution) provided a cell recovery efficiency that was statistically similar to >1 h batch captures. O157:H7 cells were reproducibly isolated directly from poultry carcass rinse with 39% recovery efficiency at 103 CFU/ml inoculum. Direct plating of washed beads showed positive recovery of O157:H7 directly from poultry carcass rinse at an inoculum of 10 CFU/ml. Recovered beads were used for direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and microarray detection, with a process-level detection limit (automated cell concentration though microarray detection) of <103 CFU/ml in poultry carcass rinse.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Studies employing analysis of low density lipoprotein (LDL) subclasses have demonstrated heterogeneity of the LDL response to low fat, high carbohydrate diets in healthy nonobese subjects. In individuals with a genetically influenced atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype, characterized by a predominance of small dense LDL (LDL subclass pattern B), lowering of plasma LDL cholesterol levels by diets with ≤24% fat has been found to represent a reduction in numbers of circulating mid-sized and small LDL particles, and hence an expected lowering of cardiovascular disease risk. In contrast, in the majority of healthy individuals with larger LDL (pattern A, found in ~70% of men and a larger percentage of women), a significant proportion of the low fat diet-induced reduction in plasma LDL cholesterol is made by depletion of the cholesterol content of LDL particles. This change in LDL composition is accompanied by a shift from larger to smaller LDL particle diameters. Moreover, with progressive reduction of dietary fat and isocaloric substitution of carbohydrate, an increasing number of subjects with pattern A convert to the pattern B phenotype. Studies in families have indicated that susceptibility to induction of pattern B by low fat diets is under genetic influence. Thus, diet-gene interactions affecting LDL subclass patterns may contribute to substantial interindividual variability in the effects of low fat diets on coronary heart disease risk.

Subject Subsets: Seed Science N2 - Altered expression of cell adhesion molecule expression has been implicated in a variety of chronic inflammatory conditions. Regulation of adhesion molecule expression by specific redox sensitive mechanisms has been reported. Grape seed proanthocyanidins have been reported to have potent antioxidant properties. We evaluated the effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on the expression of TNFα-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). GSPE at low concentrations (1-5 µg/ml), down-regulated TNFα-induced VCAM-1 expression but not ICAM-1 expression in HUVEC. Such regulation of inducible VCAM-1 by GSPE was also observed at the mRNA expression level. A cell-cell co-culture assay was performed to verify whether the inhibitory effect of GSPE on the expression of VCAM-1 was also effective in down-regulating actual endothelial cell/leukocyte interaction. GSPE treatment significantly decreased TNFα-induced adherence of T-cells to HUVEC. Although several studies have postulated NF-κB as the molecular site where redox active substances act to regulate agonist-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 gene expression, inhibition of inducible VCAM-1 gene expression by GSPE was not through a NF-κB-dependent pathway as detected by a NF-κB reporter assay. The potent inhibitory effect of low concentrations of GSPE on agonist-induced VCAM-1 expression suggests therapeutic potential of this extract in inflammatory conditions and other pathologies involving altered expression of VCAM-1.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Although the biokinetics of polonium has been studied extensively, interpretation of the data is complicated by potential differences with species and route of exposure and the questionable reliability of much of the reported excretion data for man. A study was undertaken to identify the data that are most likely to represent the typical behaviour of polonium and apply those data to construct an improved, physiologically realistic systemic biokinetic model for polonium in man. Such a model is needed for interpretation of urinary excretion data for workers exposed to 210Po and reconstruction of the radiation doses received by those workers. This paper reviews the database on the biokinetics of polonium and describes a new systemic biokinetic model for polonium in man.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - In earlier work, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) sequences were analysed to estimate the timing of the ancestral sequence of the main group of HIV-1, the virus that is responsible for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome pandemic, yielding a best estimate of 1931 (95% confidence interval, 1915-1941). That work will be briefly reviewed, outlining how phylogenetic tools were extended to incorporate improved evolutionary models, how the molecular clock model was adapted to incorporate variable periods of latency, and how the approach was validated by correctly estimating the timing of two historically documented dates. The advantages, limitations, and assumptions of the approach will be summarized, with particular consideration of the implications of branch length uncertainty and recombination. We have recently undertaken new phylogenetic analysis of an extremely diverse set of human immunodeficiency virus envelope sequences from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the DRC, formerly Zaire). This analysis both corroborates and extends the conclusions of our original study. Coalescent methods were used to infer the demographic history of the HIV-1 epidemic in the DRC, and the results suggest an increase in the exponential growth rate of the infected population through time.

N2 - The subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M exhibit a remarkable similarity in their between-subtype distances, which we refer to as high synchrony. The shape of the phylogenetic tree of these subtypes is referred to as a sunburst to distinguish it from a simple star phylogeny. Neither a sunburst pattern nor a comparable degree of symmetry is seen in a natural process such as in feline immunodeficiency virus evolution. We conducted forward-process simulation studies employing coalescent theory to investigate whether such highly synchronized subtypes could be readily produced by natural Darwinian evolution. The forward model included both classical (macro) and molecular (micro) epidemiological components. HIV-1 group M subtype synchrony was quantified using the standard deviation of the between-subtype distances and the average of the within-subtype distances. Highly synchronized subtypes and a sunburst phylogeny were not observed in our simulated data, leading to the conclusion that a quasi-Lamarckian, punctuated event occurred. The natural transfer theory for the origin of human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cannot easily be reconciled with these findings and it is as if a recent non-Darwinian process took place coincident with the rise of AIDS in Africa.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The cerebral mechanisms underlying the behaviours that lead to pathological overeating and obesity are poorly understood. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter that modulates rewarding properties of food, is likely to be involved. To test the hypothesis that obese individuals have abnormalities in brain dopamine activity we measured the availability of dopamine D2 receptors in the brain. Brain dopamine D2 receptor availability was measured with positron emission tomography (PET) and [C-11]raclopride (a radioligand for the dopamine D2 receptor). Bmax/Kd (ratio of the distribution volumes in striatum to that in cerebellum minus 1) was used as a measure of dopamine D2 receptor availability. Brain glucose metabolism was also assessed with 2-deoxy-2[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG). Striatal dopamine D2 receptor availability was significantly lower in the ten obese individuals (2.47 [SD 0.36]) than in controls (2.99 [0.41]; P≤0.0075). In the obese individuals body mass index (BMI) correlated negatively with the measures of D2 receptors (r=0.84; P≤0.002); the individuals with the lowest D2 values had the largest BMI. By contrast, neither whole brain nor striatal metabolism differed between obese individuals and controls, indicating that striatal reductions in D2 receptors were not due to a systematic reduction in radiotracer delivery. The availability of dopamine D2 receptor was decreased in obese individuals in proportion to their BMI. Dopamine modulates motivation and reward circuits and hence dopamine deficiency in obese individuals may perpetuate pathological eating as a means to compensate for decreased activation of these circuits. Strategies aimed at improving dopamine function may be beneficial in the treatment of obese individuals.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - This paper discusses the var gene expression and silencing effect of Plasmodium falciparum established during DNA synthesis. To test whether var introns function in gene control, a representative intron sequence (int) was inserted into two different plasmids containing a luciferase (luc) reporter driven either by a var promoter sequence or by a promoter sequence from the unrelated hrp3 gene which encodes histidine-rich protein 3 (pVLH and pHLH). Transfection experiments with pVLH and pVLH/int indicated that the presence of int downstream of luc strongly repressed the luciferase signal irrespective of int orientation. In contrast, the presence of int in the pHLH/int plasmas caused no detectable change in the reporter activity. Expression of luc from homogeneous plasmid populations before and after transition through S phase was measured. Assays done 18 h after invasion of plasmid-loaded erythrocytes confirmed that luc was expressed without repression. Transfected parasites were separated from plasmid-loaded erythrocytes after their maturation to schizont stages. Returning these parasites to fresh cultures with plasmid-free erythrocytes eliminated further plasmid uptake after re-invasion and ensured that all plasmid DNA in the parasites had been through the S phase. Complete reporter silencing from pVLH/int was evident. No silencing in control transfections with the original pVLH or with a pVLH/hsp construct in which the int sequence was replaced with a P. falciparum hsp86 intron of similar size was detected.

Selected types of 13C/15N-labelled dNTPs are used in PCR amplification of target regions followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF)-MS analysis. From the mass difference between the PCR products generated with unlabelled nucleosides and products containing 13C/15N-labeled nucleosides, we determined the base composition of the genomic regions of interest. Two approaches were used to verify the target regions: The first approach used nucleosides partially enriched with stable isotopes to identify a single uncalled base in a gel electrophoresis-sequenced region. The second approach used mass tags with 100% heavy nucleosides to examine a GC-rich region of a polycytidine string with an unknown number of cytidines. By use of selected 13C/15N-labeled dNTPs (dCTPs) in PCR amplification of the target region in tandem with MALDI-TOF-MS, we determined precisely that this string contains 11 cytidines. Both approaches show the ability of our MS-based mass-tagging strategy to solve critical questions of sequence identities that might be essential in determining the proper reading frames of the targeted regions.

Registry Number: 9007-49-2. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Genomic signature tags (GSTs) are the products of a method we have developed for identifying and quantitatively analysing genomic DNAs. The DNA is initially fragmented with a type II restriction enzyme. An oligonucleotide adaptor containing a recognition site for MmeI, a type IIS restriction enzyme, is then used to release 21-bp tags from fixed positions in the DNA relative to the sites recognized by the fragmenting enzyme. These tags are PCR-amplified, purified, concatenated, and then cloned and sequenced. The tag sequences and abundances are used to create a high-resolution GST sequence profile of the genomic DNA. GSTs are shown to be long enough for use as oligonucleotide primers to amplify adjacent segments of the DNA, which can then be sequenced to provide additional nucleotide information or used as probes to identify specific clones in metagenomic libraries. GST analysis of the 4.7-Mb Yersinia pestis EV766 genome using BamHI as the fragmenting enzyme and NlaIII as the tagging enzyme validated the precision of our approach. The GST profile predicts that this strain has several changes relative to the archetype CO92 strain, including deletion of a 57-kb region of the chromosome known to be an unstable pathogenicity island.

Subject Subsets: Weeds N2 - Working with primary-source freshwater drinking samples from the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers, we have developed a tissue-based biosensor detection system that uses naturally occurring aquatic photosynthetic tissue as the sensing material for detection of chemical antagonists in the water. Sensor readout is based on well-known principles of fluorescence induction by living photosynthetic tissue. The Clinch River is the main source of drinking water for Oak Ridge, Tennessee, while the Tennessee River is a major source for the city of Knoxville. We have successfully detected algae in every sample that we examined and readily monitored changes in the characteristic fluorescence induction curves when the samples were exposed to potassium cyanide (KCN), methyl parathion (MPt), N′(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea (DCMU), and paraquat. The percentage decreases in photochemical yields observed in Tennessee River samples after a 24-min exposure to KCN, MPt, and DCMU were, respectively, 21.89±0.76, 3.28±0.18, and 14.77±1.81. For a site at the Clinch River, the percentage decreases were 22.78±1.63, 8.32±0.21, and 17.71±1.32. The unique aspect of this approach to real-time water quality monitoring is that unlike conventional sensing devices, this sensor material is external to the detecting instrument and is continuously refreshed. These biosensors may be used as continuous rapid-warning sentinels for detection of chemical warfare agents in sunlight-exposed drinking water supplies.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Human Nutrition N2 - Heterocyclic amines produced from overcooked foods are extremely mutagenic in numerous in vitro and in vivo test systems. One of these mutagens, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), induces breast tumors in rats and has been implicated in dietary epidemiology studies as raising the risk of breast cancer in humans. Efforts in our laboratory and others have centered on defining the exposure to PhIP and other dietary mutagens derived from cooked food. We accomplish this by analyzing the foods with a series of solid-phase extractions and HPLC. We have developed an LC/MS/MS method to analyze the four major human PhIP metabolites (sulfates and glucuronides) following a single meal containing 27 µg of cooking-produced PhIP in 200 g of grilled meat. Although the intake of PhIP was similar for each of eight women, the total amount excreted in the urine and the metabolite profiles differed among the subjects. It appears that adsorption (digestion) from the meat matrix, other foods in the diet, and genetic differences in metabolism may contribute to the variation. The four major metabolites that can be routinely assayed in the urine are N2-OH-PhIP-N2-glucuronide, PhIP-N2-glucuronide, 4′-PhIP-glucuronide, and N2-OH-PhIP-N3-glucuronide. This work is suited to investigate individual exposure and risk, especially for breast cancer, from these potent dietary mutagens.

Language: English. Number of References: 25 ref. N2 - Heterocylic amine (HA) compounds formed in the cooking of certain foods have been shown to be bacterial mutagens and animal carcinogens, and may be a risk factor for human cancer. To help explain the variation observed in HA formation under different cooking conditions, we have performed heat-flow simulations and experiments on the pan-frying of beef patties. The simulations involve modelling the heat flow within a meat patty using empirically derived thermal transport coefficients for the meat. The predicted temperature profiles are used to integrate the Arrhenius rate equation to estimate the concentration of HAs formed in the meat. We find that our simulations accurately model experimentally determined temperature profiles, cooking times, HA spatial distributions and total HA formation in patties that are flipped once during the pan-frying process. For patties flipped every 60 s, the simulations qualitatively agree with experiment in predicting reduced cooking times and HA formation relative to the singly-flipped patties. However, the simulations overestimate the effect of rapid flipping on cooking times and underestimate the effect of flipping on total HAs formed. These results suggest that the dramatic reductions in HA formation due to rapid flipping may be due to factors other than the heating process or that there is a critical feature of the flipping process that is not captured in our model.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Carbon management through the underground injection of CO2 into subsurface brine formations is being actively studied. If there are no technological constraints for implementation, there could be a large number of wells constructed for injecting a large volume of CO2. It is therefore important, in parallel with current scientific studies, to consider the appropriate, science-based regulatory framework for CO2 injection. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, authorized under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), has extensive experience in regulating the injection of mainly liquid wastes into geologic formations in the United States. The federal requirements and permit process implemented by EPA and the Primacy States since 1980 have played a critical role in the safety of subsurface disposal of liquid wastes in the US. Physically and chemically, there are significant differences between CO2 and common liquid wastes. Its viscosity and density are much lower and, under injection pressure in the deep formation, it may be under supercritical conditions. Because of the lower density and viscosity, CO2 leakage through the confining strata may be greater when compared to currently injected liquid wastes. Also, the chemical interactions of CO2 with the geologic formation have their own characteristics. All these scientific factors need to be evaluated to identify new guidelines for appropriate regulatory and monitoring controls. The paper reviews current UIC regulations, injection-well classification scheme and monitoring requirements, and identifies the unique factors related to the physical and chemical processes in the subsurface associated with CO2 injection. Implications of these scientific considerations for regulation development are discussed.

Registry Number: 51-61-6. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The drive for food is one of the most powerful of human and animal behaviors. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved with motivation and reward, its believed to regulate food intake in laboratory animals by modulating its rewarding effects through the nucleus accumbens (NA). Here we assess the involvement of dopamine in "nonhedonic" food motivation in humans. Changes in extracellular dopamine in striatum in response to nonhedonic food stimulation (display of food without consumption) were evaluated in 10 food-deprived subjects (16-20 h) using positron emission tomography (PET) and [11C]raclopride (a D2 receptor radioligand that competes with endogenous dopamine for binding to the receptor). To amplify the dopamine changes we pretreated subjects with methylphenidate (20 mg p.o.), a drug that blocks dopamine transporters (mechanism for removal of extracellular dopamine). Although the food stimulation when preceded by placebo did not increase dopamine or the desire for food, the food stimulation when preceded by methylphenidate (20 mg p.o.) did. The increases in extracellular dopamine were significant in dorsal (P<0.005) but not in ventral striatum (area that included NA) and were significantly correlated with the increases in self-reports of hunger and desire for food (P<0.01). These results provide the first evidence that dopamine in the dorsal striatum is involved in food motivation in humans that is distinct from its role in regulating reward through the NA. In addition it demonstrates the ability of methylphenidate to amplify weak dopamine signals.

N2 - Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infects cells of the immune system and leads to depletion of CD4+ T cells, and to an increase of CD8+ T-lymphocytes. However, not much is known about the dynamics of turnover (proliferation and death) of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations in HIV-infected and healthy individuals. A new experimental technique has been developed using deuterated-glucose labelling that provides information on cell turnover in vivo. However, the quantitative interpretation of the data requires the development of specific dynamic models. In this paper, we derive two models, a simple one-compartment model and a more complex two-compartment model. These models allow for robust quantification of death and proliferation rates, but careful consideration of the system is necessary to understand what is being measured in each case. We demonstrate that more realistic models can account not only for differences in the turnover rates between HIV-infected and healthy individuals, but also take into consideration the elevated state of activation in HIV infection. The use of these models in the interpretation of the experimental data will increase our knowledge of T cell dynamics in the context of HIV infection.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - We investigated the application of an oligonucleotide microarray to (i) specifically detect Cryptosporidium spp., (ii) differentiate between closely related C. parvum isolates and Cryptosporidium species, and (iii) differentiate between principle genotypes known to infect humans. A microarray of 68 capture probes targeting seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within a 190-bp region of the hsp70 gene of Cryptosporidium parvum was constructed. Labelled hsp70 targets were generated by PCR with biotin- or Cy3-labelled primers. Hybridization conditions were optimized for hybridization time, temperature and salt concentration. Two genotype I C. parvum isolates (TU502 and UG502), two C. parvum genotype II isolates (Iowa and GCH1) and DNAs from 22 non-Cryptosporidium sp. organisms were used to test method specificity. Only DNAs from C. parvum isolates produced labelled amplicons that could be hybridized to and detected on the array. Hybridization patterns between genotypes were visually distinct, but identification of SNPs required statistical analysis of the signal intensity data. The results indicated that correct mismatch discrimination could be achieved for all seven SNPs for the UG502 isolate, five of seven SNPs for the TU502 isolate and six of seven SNPs for both the Iowa and GCH1 isolates. Even without perfect mismatch discrimination, the microarray method unambiguously distinguished between genotype I and genotype II isolates and demonstrated the potential to differentiate between other isolates and species on a single microarray. This method may provide a powerful new tool for water utilities and public health officials for assessing point and nonpoint source contamination of water supplies.

Pueblo residents and Los Alamos scientists are concerned about radiological rates resulting from uptake of Area G radionuclides by mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus), then consumption of deer and elk meat by humans. Tissue samples were collected from deer and elk accidentally killed near Area G and were analysed for 3H, 90Sr, total U, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, 241Am, and 137Cs. These data were used to estimate human doses based on meat consumption of 23 kg year-1. Human doses were also modelled using RESRAD, and dose rates to deer and elk were estimated with a screening model. Dose estimates to humans from tissue consumption were 2.9 and 1.6×10-3 mSv year-1 from deer and elk, respectively, and RESRAD dose estimates were of the same order of magnitude. Estimated dose rates to deer and elk were 2.1 and 4.7×10-4 mGy day-1, respectively. All estimated doses were significantly less than established exposure limits or guidelines.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Entomology N2 - Full toxicologic profiles of chemical mixtures, including dose-response extrapolations to realistic exposures, is a prohibitive analytical problem, even for a restricted class of chemicals. We present an approach to probing in vivo interactions of pesticide mixtures at relevant low doses using a monitor compound to report the response of biochemical pathways shared by mixture components. We use accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to quantify [14C]-diisopropylfluorophosphate as a tracer at attomole levels with 1-5% precision after co-exposures to parathion (PTN), permethrin (PER), and pyridostigmine bromide separately and in conjunction. Pyridostigmine shows an overall protective effect against tracer binding in plasma, red blood cells [erythrocytes], muscle, and brain that is not explained as competitive protein binding. PTN and PER induce a significant 25-30% increase in the amount of tracer reaching the brain with or without pyridostigmine. The sensitivity of AMS for isotope-labelled tracer compounds can be used to probe the physiologic responses of specific biochemical pathways to multiple compound exposures.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Three somatic mutation assays were evaluated in men exposed to low-dose, whole-body, ionizing radiation. Blood samples were obtained between 1992 and 1999 from 625 Russian Chernobyl cleanup workers and 182 Russian controls. The assays were chromosome translocations in lymphocytes detected by FISH, hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) mutant frequency in lymphocytes by cloning, and flow cytometric assay for glycophorin A (GPA) variant frequency of both deletion (N/Ø) and recombination (N/N) events detected in erythrocytes. Over 30 exposure and lifestyle covariates were available from questionnaires. Among the covariates evaluated, some increased (e.g. age, smoking) and others decreased (e.g. date of sample) biomarker responses at a magnitude comparable to Chernobyl exposure. When adjusted for covariates, exposure at Chernobyl was a statistically significant factor for translocation frequency (increase of 30%, 95% CI of 10%-53%, P=0.002) and HPRT mutant frequency (increase of 41%, 95% CI of 19%-66%, P<0.001), but not for either GPA assay. The estimated average dose for the cleanup workers based on the average increase in translocations was 9.5 cGy. Translocation analysis is the preferred biomarker for low-dose radiation dosimetry given its sensitivity, relatively few covariates, and dose-response data. Based on this estimated dose, the risk of exposure-related cancer is expected to be low.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - The complete sequencing and annotation of the 181.7-kb Bacillus anthracis virulence plasmid pXO1 predicted 143 genes but could only assign putative functions to 45. Hybridization assays, PCR amplification, and DNA sequencing were used to determine whether pXO1 open reading frame (ORF) sequences were present in other bacilli and more distantly related bacterial genera. Eighteen Bacillus species isolates and four other bacterial species were tested for the presence of 106 pXO1 ORFs. Three ORFs were conserved in most of the bacteria tested. Many of the pXO1 ORFs were detected in closely related Bacillus species, and some were detected only in B. anthracis isolates. Three isolates, Bacillus cereus D-17, B. cereus 43881, and Bacillus thuringiensis 33679, contained sequences that were similar to more than one-half of the pXO1 ORF sequences examined. The majority of the DNA fragments that were amplified by PCR from these organisms had DNA sequences between 80 and 98% similar to that of pXO1. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed large potential plasmids present in both B. cereus 43881 (341 kb) and B. thuringiensis ATCC 33679 (327 kb) that hybridized with a DNA probe composed of six pXO1 ORFs.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - A PCR-based genotyping system that detects divergence of IS100 locations within the Yersinia pestis genome was used to characterize a large collection of isolates of different biovars and geographical origins. Using sequences derived from the glycerol-negative biovar orientalis strain CO92, a set of 27 locus-specific primers was designed to amplify fragments between the end of IS100 and its neighbouring gene. Geographically diverse members of the orientalis biovar formed a homogeneous group with identical genotype with the exception of strains isolated in Indochina. In contrast, strains belonging to the glycerol-positive biovar antiqua showed a variety of fingerprinting profiles. Moreover, strains of the biovar medievalis (also glycerol positive) clustered together with the antiqua isolates originated from Southeast Asia, suggesting their close phylogenetic relationships. Interestingly, a Manchurian biovar antiqua strain Nicholisk 51 displayed a genotyping pattern typical of biovar orientalis isolates. Analysis of the glycerol pathway in Y. pestis suggested that a 93-bp deletion within the glpD gene encoding aerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase might account for the glycerol-negative phenotype of the orientalis biovar. The glpD gene of strain Nicholisk 51 did not possess this deletion, although it contained two nucleotide substitutions characteristic of the glpD version found exclusively in biovar orientalis strains. To account for this close relationship between biovar orientalis strains and the antiqua Nicholisk 51 isolate, we postulate that the latter represents a variant of this biovar with restored ability to ferment glycerol. The fact that such a genetic lesion might be repaired as part of the natural evolutionary process suggests the existence of genetic exchange between different Yersinia strains in nature. The relevance of this observation on the emergence of epidemic Y. pestis strains is discussed. Newly determined glpD allele sequences were deposited in the GenBank database under accession numbers AF377928 (strain Nicholisk 51), AF377936 (strain Nicholisk 41), AF377929 (strain Pestoides C), AF377930 (strain Pestoides F), AF377937 (strain P EXU), AF377931 (strain Yokohama), AF377938 (strain 32), AF377939 (strain 390), AF377940 (strain A12), AF377932 (strain A16), AF377941 (strain Salazar (D14)), AF377942 (strain EV76H (D59)), AF377943 (strain TS (D5)), AF377933 (strain Kuma (D94)), AF377935 (strain Harbin 35) and AF377934 (strain Nairobi).

Subject Subsets: Dairy Science; Human Nutrition N2 - 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a mutagen/carcinogen belonging to the class of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) found in cooked meats, is a known rat mammary gland carcinogen. To gain insight into the genomic alterations associated with PhIP-induced carcinogenesis, we used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to examine chromosomal abnormalities in rat mammary gland carcinomas induced by PhIP. The alterations were compared to those induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), a potent and well-studied mammary carcinogen. All six PhIP-induced carcinomas examined by CGH showed losses in the same specific regions of chromosomes 2, 3, 11, 18, and X, whereas three carcinomas induced by DMBA showed no consistent patterns of chromosomal gain or loss. This indicates that PhIP has a recognizable cytogenetic signature in rat mammary gland carcinomas.

Publication Type: Journal Article; Conference paper. Language: English. Number of References: 51 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Pig Science; Poultry; Human Nutrition N2 - We are working to understand possible human health effects from exposure to heterocyclic amines that are formed in meat during cooking. Laboratory-cooked beef, pork, and chicken are capable of producing tens of nanograms of MeIQx, IFP, and PhIP per gram of meat and smaller amounts of other heterocyclic amines. Well-done restaurant-cooked beef, pork, and chicken may contain PhIP and IFP at concentrations as high as tens of nanograms per gram and MeIQx at levels up to 3 ng/g. Although well-done chicken breast prepared in the laboratory may contain large amounts of PhIP, a survey of flame-grilled meat samples cooked in private homes showed PhIP levels in beef steak and chicken breast are not significantly different (P=0.36). The extremely high PhIP levels reported in some studies of grilled chicken are not seen in home-cooked samples. Many studies suggest individuals may have varying susceptibility to carcinogens and that diet may influence metabolism, thus affecting cancer susceptibility. To understand the human metabolism of PhIP, we examined urinary metabolites of PhIP in volunteers following a single well-done meat exposure. Using solid-phase extraction and LC/MS/MS, we quantified four major PhIP metabolites in human urine. In addition to investigating individual variation, we examined the interaction of PhIP with a potentially chemopreventive food. In a preliminary study of the effect of broccoli on PhIP metabolism, we fed chicken to six volunteers before and after eating steamed broccoli daily for 3 days.

Subject Subsets: Irrigation & Drainage; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - One of the world's most serious concerns is the safe treatment, shipping, and disposal of radioactive waste originated from the nuclear weapons and energy cycles. Among the multiple constituents of radioactive waste, the actinide elements are of major importance due to their long half-lives of hundreds to hundred thousands of years, their radiation emission, and their toxicity for human health. In order to predict the environmental risk and release rates of actinides and to design meaningful remediation strategies, it is critical to understand the geochemical reactions actinides may undergo when being transported by natural (ground- and surface) waters into the environment. The range of potential reactions in natural aquifer systems is extremely broad because of the great variety of chemically active compounds in nature and the rich chemistry actinide elements exhibit. The light actinide elements, U, Np, Pu, and Am, can exist in multiple oxidation states, III-VI, with each forming behaviourally distinct molecular species that can differ by orders of magnitude in reactivity, stability, and solubility. The conditions of the aquifer, such as pH, redox potential (Eh), complexant concentrations, and colloid concentration, determine the predominant actinide species and their transport characteristics. Actinide solubility increases with the formation of the higher soluble penta- and hexavalent actinides. The geochemical processes that are most important for the actinides' fate in the environment are precipitation, complexation of dissolved species, interactions at solution-mineral interfaces, colloid formation, and the interactions with microorganisms. These reactions are discussed for the light actinides (U, Np, Pu, and Am) in their environmentally most relevant oxidation states III, IV, V, and VI.

Soil chemical reactions are critical to both environment and human health and to successful remediation. This chapter's aim is to briefly describes the physical and chemical characteristics of the most important radioactive nuclides likely to be found in soils. The primary sources of these radionuclides include the fallout from atmospheric weapon tests, release from fuel processes facilities, nuclear material storage facilities, biomedical applications, and, of course, naturally-occurring radioactive elements.

Subject Subsets: Irrigation & Drainage; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Geologic carbon sequestration is the direct injection of CO2 into deep geologic formations for permanent disposal. Although numerous trapping mechanisms exist in the subsurface, it is possible that CO2 will leak from the primary sequestration target and seep out of the ground. The unsaturated zone has the potential to attenuate leaking CO2 and decrease seepage and near-surface CO2 concentrations. Attenuation processes include permeability trapping, ponding as dense CO2 spreads out on the water table, solubility trapping by infiltrating or residual water, and dilution through mixing with ambient soil gas. Numerical simulations of CO2 flowing upward through a thick model unsaturated zone were performed to investigate the sensitivity of various unsaturated zone properties on CO2 seepage flux and near-surface CO2 gas concentrations. These two quantities are considered drivers for health and environmental risk due to exposure to CO2. For the conceptual model considered, seepage flux and near-surface CO2 gas concentrations are most strongly controlled by the leakage rate at the water table, followed by the source zone radius. Permeability and permeability anisotropy, as well as porosity and infiltration rate are also important, although to a lesser degree. Barometric pumping causes local maxima in seepage flux and near-surface CO2 concentrations, but has negligible effect in a time-averaged sense. When the leakage source is turned off, the CO2 plume attentuates through dissolution into infiltrating water. For the case of a constant leakage rate, the unsaturated zone can attenuate low leakage fluxes but should not be expected to attenuate large CO2 leakage fluxes.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and neuropsychological tests may be useful for monitoring the effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-associated brain injury. We aimed to evaluate whether brain abnormalities will improve 3 months after HAART. Method: 33 HIV patients (31 men, 2 women; mean age: 36.5±1.6 years) naive to antiretroviral medications were evaluated before and 3 months after HAART using 1H-MRS and neuropsychological tests [USA; date not given]. Results were compared with those of 26 seronegative control subjects. Results: Despite significant improvement in CD4 counts and suppression of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) viral loads, elevated brain metabolites (choline compounds and myoinositol in the frontal lobes) and neuropsychological tests abnormalities (including the computerized tests (CalCAP)) persisted after 3 months of HAART. In the basal ganglia, choline and myoinositol became elevated only after treatment. No interaction effect was observed between the number of CSF-penetrating drugs (one vs two) and changes (baseline vs 3 months) in any of the brain metabolites, cognitive performance or CSF viral load. Conclusions: The persistent brain abnormalities suggest ongoing repair or reactive inflammatory processes in the brain after 3 months of HAART. Regimens with two CSF-penetrating antiretroviral medications do not appear to be more effective than those with one CSF-penetrating drug in treating HIV brain injury at 3 months.

We investigated different strategies of alignment for the subsequent analysis of conservation of genomes that are effective for assemblies of different quality. These strategies were applied to the comparison of the working draft of the human genome with the Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium assembly, as well as other intermediate mouse assemblies. Our methods are fast and the resulting alignments exhibit a high degree of sensitivity, covering more than 90% of known coding exons in the human genome. We obtained such coverage while preserving specificity. With a view towards the end user, we developed a suite of tools and Web sites for automatically aligning and subsequently browsing and working with whole-genome comparisons. We describe the use of these tools to identify conserved non-coding regions between the human and mouse genomes, some of which have not been identified by other methods.

Number of References: many ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Dairy Science N2 - We describe novel effects of p53 loss on immortal transformation, based upon comparison of immortally transformed human mammary epithelial cell (HMEC) lines lacking functional p53 with closely related p53(+) lines. Our previous studies of p53(+) immortal HMEC lines indicated that overcoming the stringent replicative senescence step associated with critically short telomeres (agonescence), produced indefinite lifespan lines that maintained growth without immediately expressing telomerase activity. These telomerase(-) 'conditionally immortal' HMEC underwent an additional step, termed conversion, to become fully immortal telomerase(+) lines with uniform good growth. The very gradual conversion process was associated with slow heterogeneous growth and high expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57Kip2. We now show that p53 suppresses telomerase activity and is necessary for the p57 expression in early passage p53(+) conditionally immortal HMEC lines, and that p53(-/-) lines exhibit telomerase reactivation and attain full immortality much more rapidly. A p53-inhibiting genetic suppressor element introduced into early passages of a conditionally immortal telomerase(-) p53(+) HMEC line led to rapid induction of hTERT mRNA, expression of telomerase activity, loss of p57 expression, and quick attainment of uniform good growth. These studies indicate that derangements in p53 function may impact malignant progression through direct effects on the conversion process, a potentially rate-limiting step in HMEC acquisition of uniform unlimited growth potential. These studies also provide evidence that the function of p53 in suppression of telomerase activity is separable from its cell cycle checkpoint function.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Public Health N2 - Objective - LDLs include particle subclasses that have different mobilities on polyacrylamide gradient gels: LDL-I (27.2 to 28.5 nm), LDL-IIa (26.5 to 27.2 nm), LDL-IIb (25.6 to 26.5 nm), LDL-IIIa (24.7 to 25.6 nm), LDL-IIIb (24.2 to 24.7 nm), LDL-IVa (23.3 to 24.2 nm), and LDL-IVb (22.0 to 23.3 nm in diameter). We hypothesized that the association between smaller LDL particles and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk might involve specific LDL subclasses. Methods and Results - Average 4-year onstudy lipoprotein measurements were compared with annualized rates of stenosis change from baseline to 4 years in 117 men with CAD. The percentages of total LDL and HDL occurring within individual subclasses were measured by gradient gel electrophoresis. Annual rate of stenosis change was related concordantly to onstudy averages of total cholesterol (P=0.04), triglycerides (P=0.05), VLDL mass (P=0.03), total/HDL cholesterol ratio (P=0.04), LDL-IVb (P=0.01), and HDL3a (P=0.02) and inversely to HDL2-mass (P=0.02) and HDL2b (P=0.03). The average annual rate in stenosis change was 6-fold more rapid in the fourth quartile of LDL-IVb (≥5.2%) than in the first quartile (<2.5%, P=0.03). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that LDL-IVb was the single best predictor of stenosis change. Conclusions - LDL-IVb was the single best lipoprotein predictor of increased stenosis, an unexpected result, given that LDL-IVb represents only a minor fraction of total LDL.

Language: English. Subject Subsets: Animal Nutrition; Animal Breeding; Human Nutrition; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) is a newly described member of the apolipoprotein gene family whose initial discovery arose from comparative sequence analysis of the mammalian APOA1/C3/A4 gene cluster. Functional studies in mice indicated that alteration in the level of APOA5 significantly affected plasma triglyceride concentrations. Mice that overexpressed human APOA5 displayed significantly reduced triglycerides, whereas mice that lacked apoa5 had a large increase in this lipid parameter. Studies in humans have also suggested an important role for APOA5 in determining plasma triglyceride concentrations. In these experiments, polymorphisms in the human gene were found to define several common haplotypes that were associated with significant changes in triglyceride concentrations in multiple populations. Several separate clinical studies have provided consistent and strong support for the effect with 24% of whites, 35% of blacks, and 53% of Hispanics who carry APOA5 haplotypes associated with increased plasma triglyceride levels. In summary, APOA5 represents a newly discovered gene involved in triglyceride metabolism in both humans and mice whose mechanism of action remains to be deciphered.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Widespread observations of organic pollutant compounds in vegetation, soil, animals and human tissue have motivated research on more accurate characterizations of chemical transport over regional, continental and global scales. Efforts to assess human and ecosystem exposure to contaminants from multiple environmental media have been evolving over the last several decades. In this review, we summarize the development and evolution of the multimedia mass-balance approach to pollutant fate and exposure evaluation and illustrate some of the calculations used in multimedia assessments. The concepts that form the foundation of Mackay-type mass-balance compartment models are described, and the ongoing efforts to use multimedia models to quantify human exposures are discussed. A series of case studies of varying complexity are used to illustrate capabilities and limitations of selected multimedia approaches. We look to the future and consider current challenges and opportunities in the field of multimedia contaminant fate and exposure modelling.

Registry Number: 7440-36-0, 7440-38-2, 10102-48-4. Subject Subsets: Agricultural Entomology; Horticultural Science; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Lead arsenate was a commonly used insecticide during the first half of the 20th century, particularly in deciduous tree fruit orchards. Antimony is cotransported with As during the ore refining process and could occur as an impurity in commercial lead arsenate products. The total concentrations of As and Sb in eight soil samples collected from eight orchards located throughout central Washington State were analyzed by neutron activation analysis. Total soil Sb concentrations ranged between 0.4 and 1.5 mg kg-1, while total soil As concentration ranged from 1 to 170 mg kg-1. Total soil Sb and As concentrations were positively related. Total Pb and As concentrations in four of the soils were substantially higher than natural background, while the Sb to As concentration ratios in these soils were consistent with values measured in three lead arsenate insecticide products. These results confirm that Sb impurity is present in lead arsenate insecticide and has contributed to Sb enrichment of soils on which lead arsenate-treated plants were grown. Although higher than in uncontaminated soils from the same region, the Sb concentrations in the affected soils fall within the normal range observed worldwide and are substantially lower than values associated with impaired human or environmental health.

Registry Number: 51-61-6. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Objective: Eating behavior in humans is influenced by variables other than just hunger-satiety including cognitive restraint, emotional distress, and sensitivity to food stimuli. We investigate the role of dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter involved with food motivation, in these variables. Methods: We used the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) to measure Restraint, Emotionality, and Externality in 10 subjects. We correlated DEBQ scores with brain DA levels. Positron emission tomography and [11C]raclopride uptake were used to measure baseline D2 receptors (neutral stimulation) and to assess changes in extracellular DA to food stimulation (display of food). Results: Restraint was correlated with DA changes with food stimulation (higher restraint, greater responsivity), emotionality was negatively correlated with baseline D2 receptors (higher emotionality, lower D2 receptors), whereas externality was not. These correlations were significant in the dorsal but not in the ventral striatum. Discussion: These results provide evidence that DA in the dorsal striatum is involved with the restraint and emotionality components regulating eating behavior and that these two dimensions reflect different neurobiologic processes.

Language: English. Registry Number: 91-20-3, 54-11-5. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Sorption of emitted gas-phase organic compounds onto material surfaces affects environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) composition and exposures indoors. We have introduced a new metric, the exposure relevant emission factor (EREF) that accounts for sorptive uptake and reemission to give the mass of individual ETS constituents available for exposure over a day in which smoking occurs. This paper describes month-long experiments to investigate sorption effects on EREFs and potential ETS exposures under habitual smoking conditions. Cigarettes were smoked in a 50-m3 furnished room over a 3-h period 6-7 days per week, with continuous ventilation at 0.3, 0.6, or 2.1 h-1. Organic gas concentrations were measured every few days over 4-h "smoking", 10-h "post-smoking" and 10-h "background" periods. Concentration patterns of volatile ETS components including 1,3-butadiene, benzene and acrolein were similar to those calculated for a theoretical non-sorbing tracer, indicating limited sorption. Concentrations of ETS tracers, e.g. 3-ethenylpyridine (3-EP) and nicotine, and lower volatility toxic air contaminants including phenol, cresols, and naphthalene increased as experiments progressed, indicating mass accumulation on surfaces and higher desorption rates. Daily patterns stabilized after week 2, yielding a steady daily cycle of ETS concentrations associated with habitual smoking. EREFs for sorbing compounds were higher under steady cycle versus single-day smoking conditions by ~50% for 3-EP, and by 2-3 times for nicotine, phenol, cresols, naphthalene, and methylnaphthalenes. Our results provide relevant information about potential indirect exposures from residual ETS (non-smoker enters room shortly after smoker finishes) and from reemission, and their importance relative to direct exposures (non-smoker present during smoking). Under the conditions examined, indirect exposures accounted for a larger fraction of total potential exposures for sorbing versus non-sorbing compounds, and at lower versus higher ventilation rates. Increasing ventilation can reduce indirect exposures to very low levels for non-sorbing ETS components, but indirect routes accounted for ~50% of potential nicotine exposures during non-smoking periods at all ventilation rates.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Beryllium is an important industrial metal because of its unusual material properties: it is lighter than aluminium and six times stronger than steel. Often alloyed with other metals such as copper, beryllium is a key component of materials used in the aerospace and electronics industries. Beryllium has a small neutron cross-section, which makes it useful in the production of nuclear weapons and in sealed neutron sources. Unfortunately, beryllium is one of the most toxic elements in the periodic table. It is responsible for the often-fatal lung disease, Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) or berylliosis, and is listed as a Class A EPA carcinogen. Coal-fired power plants, industrial manufacturing and nuclear weapons production and disposal operations have released beryllium to the environment. This contamination has the potential to expose workers and the public to beryllium. Despite the increasing use of beryllium in industry, there is surprisingly little published information about beryllium fate and transport in the environment. This information is crucial for the development of strategies that limit worker and public exposure. This review summarizes the current understanding of beryllium health hazards, current regulatory mandates, environmental chemistry, geochemistry and environmental contamination.

Subject Subsets: Irrigation & Drainage; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - This paper presents a novel approach to the representation of pore-scale exclusion processes, based on the truncation of the distribution of local dispersive displacements in a random-walk particle model. This approach increases the mean velocity of colloidal-sized particles relative to inert solute tracers, and decreases the apparent dispersion. An equivalent continuum model, with modified velocity and dispersion parameters, is also derived. Both the particle and the equivalent continuum models are applied to the results of laboratory experiments on bacterial transport in intact cores from a research site near Oyster, Virginia. The particle-based model requires only modest truncation (8% maximum) of the particle velocity distribution function to closely reproduce the significant observed decrease in bacterial arrival times relative to a bromide tracer. The approach provides a conceptually appealing and consistent means of incorporating the exclusion process into groundwater transport models.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Registry Number: 9027-80-9. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - In order to understand the role of repair and metabolism in the mutagenicity of heterocyclic amines from cooked foods, we previously developed the nucleotide excision repair-deficient CHO 5P3NAT2 cell line engineered to coexpress the mouse CYP1A2 and human N-acetyltransferase genes. In the present study, we have made a matched repair-competent cell line by mutagenizing 5P3NAT2 cells with ethyl methanesulfonate and selecting for resistance to cytotoxicity by 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ). In the differential cytotoxicity (DC) assay, 4 out of 15 clones showed no cytotoxic effect with IQ at the highest dose (30 µg/ml) tested, in contrast to repair-deficient 5P3NAT2 cells, which showed ~100% cytotoxicity at 0.3 µg/ml. Subsequently, these IQ-resistant clones were examined for resistance to killing by UV irradiation. All four IQ-resistant clones, which show resistance to UV similar to that of repair-proficient AA8 cells, still express both the CYP1A2 and N-acetyltransferase genes. Sequence analysis of CXPD cDNA from the 5P3NAT2R9 clone revealed an A:T->G:C reversion event at the site of the UV5 mutation. This base change results in reversion of the codon 116 tyrosine in UV5 cells back to the original cysteine in AA8 cells, thereby restoring wild-type CXPD activity and repair function. In contrast to 5P3NAT2 cells, the repair-proficient 5P3NAT2R9 revertant cell line shows little IQ-induced cell killing, and dramatically lower levels of induced mutation at the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Aprt) gene locus over the range of 2-40 µg/ml IQ. This matched pair of repair-proficient/deficient cell lines can provide insight not only into the genotoxicity of heterocyclic amine dietary carcinogens such as IQ and PhIP, but also into the effects of nucleotide excision repair on the ultimate mutagenicity of these compounds.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 12 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Recent events illustrate the imperative to rapidly and accurately detect and identify pathogens during disease outbreaks, whether they are natural or engineered. Particularly for our primary goal of detecting bioterrorist releases, detection techniques must be both species-wide (capable of detecting all known strains of a given species) and species specific. Due to classification restrictions on the publication of data for species that may pose a bioterror threat, we illustrate the challenges of finding such assays using five nonthreat organisms that are nevertheless of public health concern: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and four species of hepatitis viruses. Fluorogenic probe-based PCR assays (TaqMan; Perkin-Elmer Corp., Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) may be sensitive, fast methods for the identification of species in which the genome is conserved among strains, such as hepatitis A virus. For species such as HIV, however, the strains are highly divergent. We use computational methods to show that nine TaqMan primer and probe sequences, or signatures, are needed to ensure that all strains will be detected, but this is an unfeasible number, considering the cost of TaqMan probes. Strains of hepatitis B, C, and E viruses show intermediate divergence, so that two to three TaqMan signatures are required to detect all strains of each virus. We conclude that for species such as hepatitis A virus with high levels of sequence conservation among strains, signatures can be found computationally for detection by the TaqMan assay, which is a sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective method. However, for species such as HIV with substantial genetic divergence among strains, the TaqMan assay becomes unfeasible and alternative detection methods may be required. We compare the TaqMan assay with some of the alternative nucleic acid-based detection techniques of microarray, chip, and bead technologies in terms of sensitivity, speed, and cost.

Subject Subsets: Poultry; Human Nutrition N2 - To understand the impact of variation in digestion parameters on the release of heterocyclic amines naturally formed during cooking, we developed and characterized a model system to assess the effect of amylase, pepsin, and pancreatin on digestion of well-done chicken. The amounts of MeIQx, DiMeIQx, IFP, and PhIP in the liquid portion of the digestate were compared to levels in the undigested meat to determine the percentage released (accessible fraction). Incubating the meat with amylase and pepsin did not change the accessibility of HAs when compared to incubation with water alone. In contrast, increasing amounts of pancreatin increased the accessibility up to 6.4-fold. Comparing the amounts of the HAs in the liquid to the solid fraction showed that there was more MeIQx, DiMeIQx, and IFP in the liquid fraction. In contrast, PhIP was equally divided between the solid and liquid fractions. For all four compounds, increasing the doneness of the meat decreased the amount of the compound accessible from the meat matrix. Our data suggest that bioaccessability of HAs may vary according to the polarity of the individual HAs and also may depend upon the doneness of the meat. These results may have important ramifications for human feeding studies, which assume that the total amount of each HA in the meat matrix is equally bioavailable.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Irrigation & Drainage N2 - Monthly maximum discharge limits (MMDL) have been established for selenium in irrigation drainage by the State of California (USA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency following observations of avian teratogenesis at the Kesterson Reservoir in the San Joaquin Valley of California. As a result of these and other adverse effects, farmers and drainage districts on the western side of the San Joaquin Valley must reduce selenium concentrations in irrigation drainage discharged to the San Joaquin River. Drainage treatment will be required in the near future to meet existing MMDL and future total maximum discharge limits for the San Joaquin River. A 0.4-hectare algal bacterial selenium removal facility was designed and constructed at the Panoche Drainage District in 1995 and 1996 using the Advanced Integrated Wastewater Pond Systems Technology. Each of two physically identical systems combined a reduction pond with a shallow, peripheral algal high rate pond. A dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit and a slow sand filter were used to remove particulate selenium from the effluent of each system. The two systems were operated under different modes of operation and the bacterial substrate varied in each system. The rates of nitrate and selenium removal were compared. Microalgae were harvested using DAF and used as a carbon-rich substrate for nitrate- and selenate-reducing bacteria. Mass removals of total soluble selenium of 77% or greater were achieved over a three-year period. Nitrate and selenate were removed by assimilatory and dissimilatory bacterial reduction, and nitrate was also removed by algal assimilation.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Protozoology N2 - Currently, there is no single method to collect, process, and analyze a water sample for all pathogenic microorganisms of interest. Some of the difficulties in developing a universal method include the physical differences between the major pathogen groups (viruses, bacteria, protozoa), efficiently concentrating large volume water samples to detect low target concentrations of certain pathogen groups, removing co-concentrated inhibitors from the sample, and standardizing a culture-independent endpoint detection method. Integrating the disparate technologies into a single, universal, simple method and detection system would represent a significant advance in public health and microbiological water quality analysis. Recent advances in sample collection, on-line sample processing and purification, and DNA microarray technologies may form the basis of a universal method to detect known and emerging waterborne pathogens. This review discusses some of the challenges in developing a universal pathogen detection method, current technology that may be employed to overcome these challenges, and the remaining needs for developing an integrated pathogen detection and monitoring system for source or finished water.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The continued occurrence of chronic beryllium disease (CBD) suggests that the current occupational exposure limit of 2 µg beryllium per cubic meter of air does not adequately protect workers. This study examined the morphology and measured the particle surface area of aerodynamically size-separated powders and process-sampled particles of beryllium metal, beryllium oxide, and copper-beryllium alloy. The beryllium metal powder consisted of compact particles, whereas the beryllium oxide powder and particles were clusters of smaller primary particles. Specific surface area (SSA) results for all samples (N=30) varied by a factor of 37, from 0.56±0.07 m2/g (for the 0.4-0.7 µm size fraction of the process-sampled reduction furnace particles) to 20.8±0.4 m2/g (for the ≤0.4 µm size fraction of the metal powder). Large relative differences in SSA were observed as a function of particle size for the powder of beryllium metal, from 4.0±0.01 m2/g (for the particle size fraction >6 µm) to 20.8±0.44 m2/g (for the particle size fraction ≤0.4 µm). In contrast, little relative difference in SSA (<25%) was observed as a function of particle size for the beryllium oxide powder and particles collected from the screening operation. The SSA of beryllium metal powder decreased with increasing particle size, as expected for compact particles, and the SSA of the beryllium oxide powders and particles remained constant as a function of particle size, which might be expected for clustered particles. These associations illustrate how process-related factors can influence the morphology and SSA of beryllium materials. To avoid errors in predicting bioavailability of beryllium and the associated risks for CBD, the mechanisms of particle formation should be understood and the SSA of beryllium particles should be measured directly.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - The three species of the group 1 bacilli, Bacillus anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis, are genetically very closely related. All inhabit soil habitats but exhibit different phenotypes. B. anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax and is phylogenetically monomorphic, while B. cereus and B. thuringiensis are genetically more diverse. An amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis described here demonstrates genetic diversity among a collection of non-anthrax-causing Bacillus species, some of which show significant similarity to B. anthracis. Suppression subtractive hybridization was then used to characterize the genomic differences that distinguish three of the non-anthrax-causing bacilli from B. anthracis Ames. Ninety-three DNA sequences that were present in B. anthracis but absent from the non-anthrax-causing Bacillus genomes were isolated. Furthermore, 28 of these sequences were not found in a collection of 10 non-anthrax-causing Bacillus species but were present in all members of a representative collection of B. anthracis strains. These sequences map to distinct loci on the B. anthracis genome and can be assayed simultaneously in multiplex PCR assays for rapid and highly specific DNA-based detection of B. anthracis.

The final APDS will be completely automated, offering aerosol sampling, in-line sample preparation fluidics, multiplexed detection and identification immunoassays, and orthogonal, multiplexed PCR (nucleic acid) amplification and detection. The system performance (current capabilities include aerosol collection, multiplexed immunoassays, sample archiving, data reporting, and alarming) was evaluated in a field test conducted in a Biosafety Level 3 facility, where the system was challenged with, and detected, a series of aerosolized releases containing two live, virulent biological threat agents (Bacillus anthracis and Yersinia pestis).

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Although intermittent episodes of low-level viraemia are often observed in well-suppressed highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-treated patients, the timing and amplitude of viral blips have never been examined in detail. We analyse here the dynamics of viral blips, i.e., plasma VL measurements of >50 copies/ml, in 123 HAART-treated patients monitored for a mean of 2.6 years (range, 5 months to 5.3 years). The mean (± the standard deviation) blip frequency was 0.09±0.11/sample, with about one-third of patients showing no viral blips. The mean viral blip amplitude was 158±132 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA copies/ml. Analysis of the blip frequency and amplitude distributions suggest that two blips less than 22 days apart have a significant chance of being part of the same episode of viraemia. The data are consistent with a hypothetical model in which each episode of viraemia consists of a phase of VL rise, followed by two-phase exponential decay. Thus, the term "viral blip" may be a misnomer, since viral replication appears to be occurring over an extended period. Neither the frequency nor the amplitude of viral blips increases with longer periods of observation, but the frequency is inversely correlated with the CD4+-T-cell count at the start of therapy, suggesting that host-specific factors but not treatment fatigue are determinants of blip frequency.

Subject Subsets: Dairy Science N2 - The expression level and functional activity of estrogen receptor α is an important determinant of breast physiology and breast cancer treatment. However, it has been difficult to identify the signals that regulate estrogen receptor because cultured mammary epithelial cells generally do not respond to estrogenic signals. Here, we use a combination of two- and three-dimensional culture systems to dissect the extracellular signals that control endogenous estrogen receptor α. Its expression was greatly reduced when primary mammary epithelial cells were placed on tissue culture plastic; however, the presence of a reconstituted basement membrane in combination with lactogenic hormones partially prevented this decrease. Estrogen receptor α expression in primary mammary fibroblasts was not altered by these culture conditions, indicating that its regulation is cell type specific. Moreover, estrogen receptor-dependent reporter gene expression, as well as estrogen receptor α levels, were increased threefold in a functionally normal mammary epithelial cell line when reconstituted basement membrane was added to the medium. This regulatory effect of reconstituted basement membrane was reproduced by two of its components, collagen-IV and laminin-1, and it was blocked by antibodies against α2, α6 and β1 integrin subunits. Our results indicate that integrin-mediated response to specific basement membrane components, rather than cell rounding or cell growth arrest induced by reconstituted basement membrane, is critical in the regulation of estrogen receptor α expression and function in mammary epithelial cells.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - All of us are involved in discovery science as we pursue the genes, networks, cellular processes and biophysical principles that govern our chosen biological question. For those of us who choose to proceed using plant or animal models to dissect the elements of our favorite biological system, there are many classical and newer approaches available for our use, including two complementary strategies by which the discovery process is proceeding at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The ORNL has been known for six decades for its investigations of the effects of radiation and chemicals in inducing heritable mutations in mouse germ cells, and for using mouse mutations as tools for the cloning and characterization of mammalian genes. Our history and experience in making mouse models are being applied via these two complementary strategies: (1), a phenotype-driven approach, in which mice carrying random chemically-induced mutations are screened for abnormal phenotypes; and (2) a gene-driven approach in which heritable single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in preselected genes already thought likely to influence a biological system of choice can be recovered in live mice. The SNP-carrying mice can then be phenotyped for alterations in one's target biology. Both approaches have value and are necessary; while we can use mutations in genes that we already know to be of interest in our favorite biology to discover gene function, we also know that biology is full of surprise genes whose effects on our favorite biology would not be predicted and which will be identified only through phenotype screening.

The materials were bombarded with high-energy iron ions characteristic of a significant part of the galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) heavy-ion spectrum. Transmitted primary ions and charged fragments produced in nuclear collisions in the materials were measured near the beam axis, and a model was used to extrapolate from the data to lower beam energies and to a lighter ion. For the materials and ions studied, at incident particle energies from 1037 MeV/nucleon down to at least 600 MeV/nucleon, nuclear fragmentation reduces the average dose and dose equivalent per incident ion. At energies below 400 MeV/nucleon, the calculation predicts that as material is added, increased ionization energy loss produces increases in some dosimetric quantities. These limited results suggest that the addition of modest amounts of polyethylene or similar material to the interior of the ISS will reduce the dose to ISS crews from space radiation; however, the radiation transport properties of ISS materials should be evaluated with a realistic space radiation field.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The genome sequence of bacteriophage φA1122 has been determined. φA1122 grows on almost all isolates of Yersinia pestis and is used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a diagnostic agent for the causative agent of plague. φA1122 is very closely related to coliphage T7; the two genomes are colinear, and the genome-wide level of nucleotide identity is about 89%. However, a quarter of the φA1122 genome, one that includes about half of the morphogenetic and maturation functions, is significantly more closely related to coliphage T3 than to T7. It is proposed that the yersiniophage φA1122 recombined with a close relative of the Y. enterocolitica phage φYeO3-12 to yield progeny phages, one of which became the classic T3 coliphage of Demerec and Fano (M. Demerec and U. Fano, Genetics 30:119-136, 1945).

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health N2 - The pesticide phosphine (PH3) is a suspected carcinogen and a known clastogen which has been shown to produce chromosome damage in agricultural workers. To confirm and extend these results we evaluated 22 phosphine appliers from Minnesota, USA, and 26 controls matched for age and smoking status. Two independent methods were used to evaluate exposure: fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with whole-chromosome paints of chromosomes 1, 2, and 4 labelled in a single colour to quantify translocations in peripheral lymphocytes, and the glycophorin A (GPA) assay to quantify phenotypically mutant (NØ or NN) erythrocytes. No differences in the frequency of translocations were found in the phosphine appliers compared to the controls, and no effect of cigarette smoking was observed. However, a significant increase in the frequency of translocations with age (P<0.0001) was seen. No effect of phosphine exposure or cigarette smoking was observed in the GPA assay. These results are in contrast to previous findings from this same population which showed an increase in chromosome aberrations among phosphine appliers. These results are most easily interpreted as supporting the effectiveness of the personal protective equipment that is now worn by the workers but which was not employed prior to and during the earlier studies.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Public Health N2 - We describe the results of a proof-of-principle to measure the potassium content in the human brain using the natural radioisotope 40K that is in equilibrium with the stable isotopes of potassium, 39K and 41K. A fixed relationship exists between radioactive potassium and the total potassium in the brain, which in turn reflects the brain's cell mass and intracellular water compartment. Accordingly, we explored whether measurements of brain potassium could serve as possible indicators of intracellular cerebral oedema. We designed, built, and then calibrated our system using a spherical phantom containing KCl salt dissolved in water at levels comparable to those in the human brain. Emitted radiation was detected using sodium iodide (NaI) and high-purity germanium (HP-Ge) detectors. Our results with phantoms and with five volunteers demonstrate the feasibility of measuring potassium at the levels normally present in human brain tissue. We plan to extend the system to detect the onset of brain oedema in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Language: English. Number of References: many ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Mycology N2 - Relatively little is known about the mechanisms by which gene expression regulation evolves. To investigate this, we systematically explored the conservation of regulatory networks in fungi by examining the cis-regulatory elements that govern the expression of coregulated genes. We first identified groups of coregulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes enriched for genes with known upstream or downstream cis-regulatory sequences. As many of these gene groups are coregulated in related species as well, we performed similar analyses on orthologues of coregulated S. cerevisiae genes in 13 other ascomycete species. Many species-specific gene groups were enriched for the same flanking regulatory sequences as those found in the orthologous gene groups from S. cerevisiae, indicating that those regulatory systems have been conserved in multiple ascomycete species. In addition to these clear cases of regulatory conservation, we found examples of cis-element evolution that suggest multiple modes of regulatory diversification, including alterations in transcription factor-binding specificity, incorporation of new gene targets into an existing regulatory system, and cooption of regulatory systems to control a different set of genes. We investigated one example in greater detail by measuring the in vitro activity of the S. cerevisiae transcription factor Rpn4p and its orthologues from Candida albicans and Neurospora crassa. Our results suggest that the DNA binding specificity of these proteins has coevolved with the sequences found upstream of the Rpn4p target genes, and suggest that Rpn4p has a different function in N. crassa.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Simulation results of near-wellbore failure phenomena are presented from a joint experimental-numerical study directed at developing a robust numerical simulation capability for the exploration and prediction of near-wellbore mechanics. An experimental procedure was developed for the laboratory simulation of slurry injection. A true-triaxial vessel, which applied realistic, three-dimensional stress conditions, was used to perform slurry injection into Berea sandstone. Under anisotropic horizontal stress conditions, vertical hydraulic fractures initiated and propagated in the direction of the maximum horizontal stress. Under isotropic horizontal stress conditions, multiple vertical fractures were induced and propagated in random orientation. A computationally efficient numerical model based on the discrete element method (DEM) is described and applied to simulate various wellbore phenomena. Radially graded, two-dimensional DEM models of the near-wellbore region were created of bonded disk elements. Source DEM elements were used to simulate fluid pressurization of the model borehole. The structural damage in the DEM models was analysed using histograms of the angular distribution of bond damage. Results obtained for various stress states showed qualitative reproduction of the gross failure mechanisms associated with both hydraulic fracturing and borehole breakout.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - We present four studies that illustrate the use of DNA microarrays for the detection and subsequent genotyping of waterborne pathogens. A genotyping array targeting four virulence factor genes in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) was tested. The arrays were clearly able to differentiate between E. coli O157:H7 genotypes and E. coli O91:H2. Non-pathogenic E. coli and non-target organisms were not detected on this array. In the second study, an hsp70 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array for specific Cryptosporidium parvum detection was constructed to differentiate between principle genotypes. SNPs, and hence differences between genotypes, were easily detected on this type of array. In the third study an array for Helicobacter pylori was tested for simultaneous SNP discrimination and presence or absence of virulence factor genes. Results from this study showed that both SNP discrimination for some conserved genes, and the presence or absence of virulence factor genes was possible. In the fourth study, multiplexing was achieved by direct hybridization and detection of mRNA to the array. For highly expressed genes, visible signal was detected at 312.5 ng of total RNA, indicating that these new methods may have sufficient environmental sensitivity without the need to perform PCR.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Certain strains of an obligate parasite of the human upper respiratory tract, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), can cause invasive diseases such as septicemia and meningitis, as well as chronic mucosal infections such as otitis media. To do this, the organism must invade and survive within both epithelial and endothelial cells. We have identified a facilitator of NTHi survival inside human cells, virulence-associated protein D (vapDHi, encoded by gene HI0450). Both vapDHi and a flanking gene, HI0451, exhibit the genetic and physical characteristics of a toxin/antitoxin (TA) locus, with VapDHi serving as the toxin moiety and HI0451 as the antitoxin. We propose the name VapXHi for the HI0451 antitoxin protein. Originally identified on plasmids, TA loci have been found on the chromosomes of a number of bacterial pathogens, and have been implicated in the control of translation during stressful conditions. Translation arrest would enhance survival within human cells and facilitate persistent or chronic mucosal infections. Results: Isogenic mutants in vapDHi were attenuated for survival inside human respiratory epithelial cells (NCI-H292) and human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), the in vitro models of mucosal infection and the blood-brain barrier, respectively. Transcomplementation with a vapDHi allele restored wild-type NTHi survival within both cell lines. A PCR survey of 59 H. influenzae strains isolated from various anatomical sites determined the presence of a vapDHi allele in 100% of strains. Two isoforms of the gene were identified in this population; one that was 91 residues in length, and another that was truncated to 45 amino acids due to an in-frame deletion. The truncated allele failed to transcomplement the NTHi vapDHi survival defect in HBMEC. Subunits of full-length VapDHi homodimerized, but subunits of the truncated protein did not. However, truncated protein subunits did interact with full-length subunits, and this interaction resulted in a dominant-negative phenotype. Although Escherichia coli does not contain a homologue of either vapDHi or vapXHi, overexpression of the VapDHi toxin in trans resulted in E. coli cell growth arrest. This arrest could be rescued by providing the VapXHi antitoxin on a compatible plasmid. Conclusion: We conclude that vapDHi and vapXHi may constitute a H. influenzae TA locus that functions to enhance NTHi survival within human epithelial and endothelial cells.

We used uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of the basic reproductive number R0 to assess the role that model parameters play in outbreak control. The transmission rate and isolation effectiveness have the largest fractional effect on R0. We estimated the distribution of the reproductive number R0 under perfect isolation conditions. The distribution lies in the interquartile range 0.19-1.08, with a median of 0.49. Even though the median of R0 is <1, we found that 25% of our R0 distribution lies at R0>1, even with perfect isolation. This implies the need to simultaneously apply more than one method of control.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV), influenza virus, and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have heavily glycosylated, highly variable surface proteins. Here we explore N-linked glycosylation site (sequon) variation at the population level in these viruses, using a new Web-based program developed to facilitate the sequon tracking and to define patterns (www.hiv.lanl.gov). This tool allowed rapid visualization of the two distinctive patterns of sequon variation found in HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV CPZ. The first pattern (fixed) describes readily aligned sites that are either simply present or absent. These sites tend to be occupied by high-mannose glycans. The second pattern (shifting) refers to sites embedded in regions of extreme local length variation and is characterized by shifts in terms of the relative position and local density of sequons; these sites tend to be populated by complex carbohydrates. HIV, with its extreme variation in number and precise location of sequons, does not have a net increase in the number of sites over time at the population level. Primate lentiviral lineages have host species-dependent levels of sequon shifting, with HIV-1 in humans the most extreme. HCV E1 and E2 proteins, despite evolving extremely rapidly through point mutation, show limited sequon variation, although two shifting sites were identified. Human influenza A hemagglutinin H3 HA1 is accumulating sequons over time, but this trend is not evident in any other avian or human influenza A serotypes.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Objective: Normal aging as well as HIV infection may lead to inflammatory changes and injury to the brain; however, it is unclear if and how these processes interact. The goal of this pilot study was to evaluate the interaction between aging and HIV infection in the brain using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). Design: Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to determine the effects of HIV and age, and their interaction, on MRS variables. Methods: Forty-six HIV patients naive to antiretroviral medications and 58 seronegative control subjects were examined using localized 1H-MRS in the frontal gray matter, frontal white matter and basal ganglia, and metabolite concentrations were determined. Results: Compared with seronegative controls, HIV-positive subjects showed additional and marked increases in the concentration of glial markers, choline-containing compounds (seronegative controls +2%/decade; HIV-positive subjects +10%/decade) and myoinositol (seronegative controls +3%/decade; HIV-positive subjects +12%/decade), with aging in the frontal white matter. In the basal ganglia, N-acetyl compounds and total creatine decreased with age only in HIV patients (N-acetyl compounds -3.7%/decade; creatine -4%/decade). ANCOVA showed significant interaction effects between HIV and aging on the metabolites in the basal ganglia (N-acetyl peak P=0.03; creatine P=0.04) and in the frontal white matter (interaction: choline-containing compounds P=0.002; myoinositol P=0.007). Conclusion: In the basal ganglia, HIV infection appeared to induce neuronal damage or loss beyond that observed in normal aging. In the frontal white matter, HIV infection seemed to exacerbate glial activation beyond that observed in normal aging.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection of biothreat agents requires a broad-spectrum assay capable of discriminating between closely related microbial or viral pathogens. Moreover, in cases where a biological agent release has been identified, forensic analysis demands detailed genetic signature data for accurate strain identification and attribution. To date, nucleic acid sequences have provided the most robust and phylogentically illuminating signature information. Nucleic acid signature sequences are not often linked to genomic or extrachromosomal determinants of virulence, a link that would further facilitate discrimination between pathogens and closely related species. Inextricably coupling genetic determinants of virulence with highly informative nucleic acid signatures would provide a robust means of identifying human, livestock, and agricultural pathogens. By means of example, we present here an overview of two general applications of microarray-based methods for: (1) the identification of candidate virulence factors; and (2) the analysis of genetic polymorphisms that are coupled to Bacillus anthracis virulence factors using an accurate, low cost solid-phase mini-sequencing assay. We show that microarray-based analysis of gene expression can identify potential virulence associated genes for use as candidate signature targets, and, further, that microarray-based single nucleotide polymorphism assays provide a robust platform for the detection and identification of signature sequences in a manner independent of the genetic background in which the signature is embedded. We discuss the strategy as a general approach or pipeline for the discovery of virulence-linked nucleic acid signatures for biothreat agents.

In replicate trials we used a simple 192 probe nonamer array to construct a fingerprint library of 25 closely related Salmonella isolates. Controlling false discovery rate for multiple testing at α=0.05, at least 295 of 300 pairs of S. enterica isolate fingerprints were found to be statistically distinct using a modified Hotelling T2 test. Although most pairs of Salmonella fingerprints are found to be distinct, forensic applications will also require a protocol for library construction and reliable microbial classification against a fingerprint library.

Number of References: 8 ref. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The food industry can benefit from a highly sensitive, non-invasive, self-calibrating, on-line sensor for characterizing liquid or slurry in process vessels during mixing, settling, stationary, or flowing conditions by measuring the reflections at the fluid-sensor interface, sound speed, and attenuation of ultrasound to determine the fluid density and solids concentration. The sensor system was developed by staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The sensor transducers are mounted directly on the stainless steel wall and the pipeline wall becomes part of the measurement system. Multiple reflections within the stainless steel wall are used to determine the acoustic impedance of the liquid, where the acoustic impedance is defined as the product of the density and the speed of sound. The probe becomes self-calibrating because variations in the pulser voltage do not affect the measurements. By basing the measurement upon multiple reflections, the sensitivity of the measurement is significantly increased.

We show that the price of electricity required to produce and transport water influences the cost of water supply options and may alter the decision makers economic ranking of these options. When electricity prices are low, water purchase is the cost effective option. When prices exceed US$ 86/MWh, conservation of electricity and water through installation of high efficiency clothes washers is the most effective option.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The sizing of restriction fragments is the chief analytical technique utilized in the production of DNA fingerprints. Few techniques have been able to compete with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), which is capable of discriminating among bacteria at species and strain levels by resolving restriction fragments. However, an ultrasensitive flow cytometer (FCM) developed in our lab has also demonstrated the ability to discriminate bacteria at species and strain levels. The abilities of FCM warrant a quantitative parallel comparison with PFGE to assess and evaluate the accuracy and precision of DNA fragment sizing by both techniques. Replicate samples of Staphylococcus aureus Mu50 were analyzed along with two clinical S. aureus isolates. The absolute fragment sizing accuracy was determined for PFGE (5%±2%) and FCM (4%±4%), with sequence-predicted Mu50 SmaI fragment sizes used as a reference. Precision was determined by simple arithmetic methods (relative standard deviation for PFGE [RSDPFGE]=3%±2% and RSDFCM=1.2%±0.8%) as well as by the use of dendrograms derived from Dice coefficient-unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) and Pearson-UPGMA analyses. All quantitative measures of PFGE and FCM precision were equivalent, within error. The precision of both methods was not limited by any single sample preparation or analysis step that was tracked in this study. Additionally, we determined that the curve-based clustering of fingerprint data provided a more informative and useful assessment than did traditional band-based methods.

N2 - 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a member of a class of compounds known as the heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are formed in meat during cooking. It is a multi-organ carcinogen in rodents forms adducts and with DNA and protein. Although protein adducts are not thought to be involved in cancer development, they may be useful as internal dosimeters of PhIP exposure and bioactivation. Towards the goals of characterizing the adducts formed in humans and the development of an assay for quantitation of adduct levels, we have characterized a peptide adduct formed by the putative genotoxic metabolite, N-acetoxy-PhIP. A model peptide with the internal sequence Leu-Gln-Lys-Cys-Pro-Tyr, which is homologous to a potential target sequence for HCAs in human serum albumin, was reacted with N-acetoxy-PhIP and an adduct was identified and further characterized by LC-ESI-MS/MS. N-acetoxy-PhIP is covalently bound to the peptide via cysteine and the exocyclic amino group of PhIP. Future work is needed to establish if this adduct is formed and is stable in vivo in humans following exposure to PhIP.

Number of References: 58 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - In order to determine if variations in rRNA sequence could be used for discrimination of the members of the Bacillus cereus group, we analyzed 183 16S rRNA and 74 23S rRNA sequences for all species in the B. cereus group. We also analyzed 30 gyrB sequences for B. cereus group strains with published 16S rRNA sequences. Our findings indicated that the three most common species of the B. cereus group, B. cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus mycoides, were each heterogeneous in all three gene sequences, while all analyzed strains of Bacillus anthracis were found to be homogeneous. Based on analysis of 16S and 23S rRNA sequence variations, the microorganisms within the B. cereus group were divided into seven subgroups, Anthracis, Cereus A and B, Thuringiensis A and B, and Mycoides A and B, and these seven subgroups were further organized into two distinct clusters. This classification of the B. cereus group conflicts with current taxonomic groupings, which are based on phenotypic traits. The presence of B. cereus strains in six of the seven subgroups and the presence of B. thuringiensis strains in three of the subgroups do not support the proposed unification of B. cereus and B. thuringiensis into one species. Analysis of the available phenotypic data for the strains included in this study revealed phenotypic traits that may be characteristic of several of the subgroups. Finally, our results demonstrated that rRNA and gyrB sequences may be used for discriminating B. anthracis from other microorganisms in the B. cereus group.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - We built a system to guide decisions regarding the amount of genomic sequencing required to develop diagnostic DNA signatures, which are short sequences that are sufficient to uniquely identify a viral species. We used our existing DNA diagnostic signature prediction pipeline, which selects regions of a target species genome that are conserved among strains of the target (for reliability, to prevent false negatives) and unique relative to other species (for specificity, to avoid false positives). We performed simulations, based on existing sequence data, to assess the number of genome sequences of a target species and of close phylogenetic relatives (near neighbors) that are required to predict diagnostic signature regions that are conserved among strains of the target species and unique relative to other bacterial and viral species. For DNA viruses such as variola (smallpox), three target genomes provide sufficient guidance for selecting species-wide signatures. Three near-neighbor genomes are critical for species specificity. In contrast, most RNA viruses require four target genomes and no near-neighbor genomes, since lack of conservation among strains is more limiting than uniqueness. Severe acute respiratory syndrome and Ebola Zaire are exceptional, as additional target genomes currently do not improve predictions, but near-neighbor sequences are urgently needed. Our results also indicate that double-stranded DNA viruses are more conserved among strains than are RNA viruses, since in most cases there was at least one conserved signature candidate for the DNA viruses and zero conserved signature candidates for the RNA viruses.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Soyabeans N2 - Adulteration of vegetable oil is of concern for both commercial and health reasons. Compositional based fingerprints can potentially reveal both the oil source and its possible adulteration. Here, electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) resolves and identifies literally thousands of distinct chemical components of commercial canola, olive, and soybean oils, without extraction or other wet chemical separation pretreatment. In negative-ion ESI FT-ICR MS, the acidic components of soybean oil are easily distinguished from those of canola and olive oil based on relative abundances of C18 fatty acids, whereas olive oil differs from canola and soybean oil based on relative abundances of tocopherols. In positive-ion ESI FT-ICR MS, the three oils are readily distinguished according to the relative abundances of di- and triacylglycerols with various numbers of double bonds in the fatty acid chains. We demonstrate the detection of soybean oil as an adulterant of olive oil, based on relative abundances of members of each of several chemical families. We suggest that the detailed chemical compositions of vegetable oils can be used to characterize them and to detect and identify adulterants.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - To test for intrinsic differences in metabolic properties of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as a function of particle size, we examined the kinetic behaviour of 6 human LDL fractions ranging in size from 251 to 265 Å injected intravenously into human apolipoprotein (apo) B transgenic mice. A multicompartmental model was formulated and fitted to the data by standard nonlinear regression using the Simulation, Analysis and Modelling (SAAM II) program. Smaller sized LDL particles (251 to 257 Å) demonstrated a significantly slower fractional catabolic rate (FCR) (0.050±0.045 h-1) compared with particles of larger size (262 to 265 Å) (0.134±-0.015 h-1, P<0.03), and there was a significant correlation between FCR and the peak LDL diameter of the injected fractions (R2=0.71, P<0.034). The sum of the equilibration parameters, k(2,1) and k(1,2), for smaller LDL (0.255 h-1 and 0.105 h-1, respectively) was significantly smaller than that for larger LDL (0.277 h-1 and 0.248 h-1, respectively; P<0.01), indicative of slower intravascular-extravascular exchange for smaller LDL. Therefore in this mouse model, smaller LDL particles are cleared more slowly from plasma than larger LDL and are exchanged more slowly with the extravascular space. This might be due to compositional or structural features of smaller LDL that lead to retarded clearance.

N2 - To increase the operating lifetime of landfills and to lower leachate treatment costs, an increasing number of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are being managed as either aerobic or anaerobic bioreactors. Landfill gas composition, respiration rates, and subsidence were measured for 400 days in 200-litre tanks filled with fresh waste materials to compare the relative effectiveness of the two treatments. Tanks were prepared to provide the following conditions: (1) air injection and leachate recirculation (aerobic); (2) leachate recirculation (anaerobic); and (3) no treatment (anaerobic). Respiration tests on the aerobic wet tank showed a steady decrease in oxygen consumption rates from 1.3 mol/day at 20 days to 0.1 mol/day at 400 days. Aerobic wet tanks produced, on average, 6 mol of carbon dioxide (CO2)/kg of MSW as compared with anaerobic wet tanks, which produced 2.2 mol methane/kg of MSW and 2.0 mol CO2/kg methane. Over the test period, the aerobic tanks settled on average 35%, anaerobic tanks settled 21.7%, and the no-treatment tank settled 7.5%, equivalent to overall mass loss in the corresponding reactors. Aerobic tanks reduced stabilization time and produced negligible odour compared with anaerobic tanks, possibly because of the 2 orders of magnitude lower leachate ammonia levels in the aerobic tank. Both treatment regimes provide the opportunity for disposal and remediation of liquid waste.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients commonly have attention and concentration problems. However, it remains unclear how HIV infection affects the attention network. Therefore, blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) was performed in 36 subjects (18 HIV and 18 seronegative [SN] controls) during a set of visual attention tasks with increasing levels of attentional load. Compared with SN controls, HIV subjects showed similar task performance (accuracies and reaction times) but decreased activation in the normal visual attention network (dorsal parietal, bilateral prefrontal, and cerebellar regions) and increased activation in adjacent or contralateral brain regions. Cognitive performance (assessed with NPZ-8), CD4, and viral load all correlated with activated BOLD signals in brain regions that activated more in HIV subjects. Furthermore, HIV subjects activated more than SN controls in brain regions that showed load-dependent increase in activation (right prefrontal and right parietal regions) but less in regions that showed a saturation effect with increasing load. These findings suggest that HIV-associated brain injury leads to reduced efficiency in the normal attention network, thus requiring reorganization and increased usage of neural reserves to maintain performance during attention-requiring tasks. Exceeding the brain reserve capacity may lead to attention deficits and cognitive impairment in HIV patients.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Mycology N2 - Xylanases catalyse the cleavage of various forms of xylan. A new crystal form of xylanase II from the fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum that diffracts to better than 1 Å resolution was grown from 12% PEG 8K, 0.1 M Tris pH 8.5, 0.2 M CaCl2 with the addition of 2% glycerol to overcome crystal twinning. The crystals grow in a body-centered orthorhombic Bravais lattice, with unit-cell parameters a=66.78, b=67.94, c=79.18 Å. The solvent content is 42% with one molecule per asymmetric unit. Molecular-replacement analysis reveals the space group to be I222. This atomic resolution structure will provide important insights that will lead to a better understanding of the enzymatic mechanism of the family 11 xylanases.

N2 - There is a need to develop approaches for assessing risk associated with acute exposures to a broad range of metals and chemical agents and to rapidly determine the potential implications to human health. Noninvasive biomonitoring approaches are being developed using reliable portable analytical systems to quantitate dosimetry utilizing readily obtainable body fluids, such as saliva. Saliva has been used to evaluate a broad range of biomarkers, drugs and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and pesticides. To advance the application of noninvasive biomonitoring a microfluidic/electrochemical device has also been developed for the analysis of lead (Pb), using square-wave anodic stripping voltametry. The system demonstrates a linear response over a broad concentration range (1-2000 ppb) and is capable of quantitating saliva Pb in rats orally administered acute doses of Pb acetate. Appropriate pharmacokinetic analyses have been used to quantitate systemic dosimetry based on determination of saliva Pb concentrations. In addition, saliva has recently been used to quantitate dosimetry following exposure to the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos in a rodent model system by measuring the major metabolite, trichloropyridinol, and saliva cholinesterase inhibition following acute exposures. These results suggest that technology developed for noninvasive biomonitoring can provide a sensitive and portable analytical tool capable of assessing exposure and risk in real-time. By coupling these noninvasive technologies with pharmacokinetic modelling it is feasible to rapidly quantitate acute exposure to a broad range of chemical agents. In summary, it is envisioned that once fully developed, these monitoring and modelling approaches will be useful for evaluating acute exposure and health risk.

Number of References: 25 ref. Registry Number: 9007-49-2. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - DNA from over 300 Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus anthracis isolates was analyzed by fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). B. thuringiensis and B. cereus isolates were from diverse sources and locations, including soil, clinical isolates and food products causing diarrheal and emetic outbreaks, and type strains from the American Type Culture Collection, and over 200 B. thuringiensis isolates representing 36 serovars or subspecies were from the U.S. Department of Agriculture collection. Twenty-four diverse B. anthracis isolates were also included. Phylogenetic analysis of AFLP data revealed extensive diversity within B. thuringiensis and B. cereus compared to the monomorphic nature of B. anthracis. All of the B. anthracis strains were more closely related to each other than to any other Bacillus isolate, while B. cereus and B. thuringiensis strains populated the entire tree. Ten distinct branches were defined, with many branches containing both B. cereus and B. thuringiensis isolates. A single branch contained all the B. anthracis isolates plus an unusual B. thuringiensis isolate that is pathogenic in mice. In contrast, B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (ATCC 33679) and other isolates used to prepare insecticides mapped distal to the B. anthracis isolates. The interspersion of B. cereus and B. thuringiensis isolates within the phylogenetic tree suggests that phenotypic traits used to distinguish between these two species do not reflect the genomic content of the different isolates and that horizontal gene transfer plays an important role in establishing the phenotype of each of these microbes. B. thuringiensis isolates of a particular subspecies tended to cluster together.

This paper documents the testing of a Melton Valley Storage Tank (MVST)/Bethel Valley Evaporator Storage Tank set.

Grout formulations were tested in the laboratory both with a surrogate and with a sample of an actual mixed waste tank sludge from MVST W-25. Wet-sludge loadings of 50-60 wt% resulted in strong wasteforms with no free water and gave a volume increase of about 40-50 vol%. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals included in the surrogate testing were cadmium, chromium, lead, selenium, thallium, and mercury. The actual sludge sample was only characteristically hazardous for mercury by the Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure but exceeded the Universal Treatment Standard (UTS) limit for chromium. The grout formulations stabilized these two RCRA metals within UTS limits. In addition, a grout leachability index of about 9.0-10.0 was measured for both 85Sr and 137Cs, meeting the recommended requirement of >6.0.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Diagnosis and management of diabetes require quantitative and selective detection of blood glucose levels. We report a technique for micromechanical detection of biologically relevant glucose concentrations by immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto a microcantilever surface. Microfabricated cantilevers have traditionally found utility in atomic force microscope imaging. During the past decade, however, microcantilevers have been increasingly used as transducers in chemical-sensing systems. This paper describes the combination of this technology with enzyme specificity to construct a highly selective glucose biosensor. The enzyme-functionalized microcantilever undergoes bending due to a change in surface stress induced by the reaction between glucose in solution and the GOx immobilized on the cantilever surface. Experiments were carried out under flow conditions. The common interferences for glucose detection in other detection schemes have been tested and have shown to have no effect on the measurement of blood glucose level by this technique.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The meaning of viral blips in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients treated with seemingly effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is still controversial and under investigation. Blips might represent low-level ongoing viral replication in the presence of drug or simply release of virions from the latent reservoir. Patients treated early during HIV-1 infection are more likely to have a lower total body viral burden, a homogenous viral population, and preserved HIV-1-specific immune responses. Consequently, viral blips may be less frequent in them than in patients treated during chronic infection. To test this hypothesis, we compared the occurrence of viral blips in 76 acutely infected patients (primary HIV infection [PHI] group) who started therapy within 6 months of the onset of symptoms with that in 47 patients who started HAART therapy during chronic infection (chronic HIV infection [CHI] group). Viral blip frequency was approximately twofold higher in CHI patients (0.122±0.12/viral load [VL] sample, mean±standard deviation) than in PHI patients (0.066±0.09/VL sample). However, in both groups, viral blip frequency did not increase with longer periods of observation. Also, no difference in viral blip frequency was observed between treatment subgroups, and the occurrence of a blip was not associated with a recent change in CD4+ T-cell count. Finally, in PHI patients the VL set point was a significant predictor of blip frequency during treatment.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a highly uniform clone that diverged recently from the enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Despite their close genetic relationship, they differ radically in their pathogenicity and transmission. Here, we report the complete genomic sequence of Y. pseudotuberculosis IP32953 and its use for detailed genome comparisons with available Y. pestis sequences. Analyses of identified differences across a panel of Yersinia isolates from around the world reveal 32 Y. pestis chromosomal genes that, together with the two Y. pestis-specific plasmids, to our knowledge, represent the only new genetic material in Y. pestis acquired since the divergence from Y. pseudotuberculosis. In contrast, 149 other pseudogenes (doubling the previous estimate) and 317 genes absent from Y. pestis were detected, indicating that as many as 13% of Y. pseudotuberculosis genes no longer function in Y. pestis. Extensive insertion sequence-mediated genome rearrangements and reductive evolution through massive gene loss, resulting in elimination and modification of preexisting gene expression pathways, appear to be more important than acquisition of genes in the evolution of Y. pestis. These results provide a sobering example of how a highly virulent epidemic clone can suddenly emerge from a less virulent, closely related progenitor.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - DNA microarrays encompassing the entire genome of Yersinia pestis were used to characterize global regulatory changes during steady-state vegetative growth occurring after shift from 26 to 37°C in the presence and absence of Ca2+. Transcriptional profiles revealed that 51, 4, and 13 respective genes and open reading frames (ORFs) on pCD, pPCP, and pMT were thermoinduced and that the majority of these genes carried by pCD were downregulated by Ca2+. In contrast, Ca2+ had little effect on chromosomal genes and ORFs, of which 235 were thermally upregulated and 274 were thermally downregulated. The primary consequence of these regulatory events is profligate catabolism of numerous metabolites available in the mammalian host.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), administered to a HAART-naïve patient, perturbs the steady state of chronic infection. This perturbation provides an opportunity to investigate the existence and dynamics of different sources of viral production. Models of HIV dynamics can be used to make a comparative analysis of the efficacies of different drug regimens. When HAART is administered for long periods of time, most patients achieve 'undetectable' viral loads (VLs), i.e., below 50 copies/ml. Use of an ultrasensitive VL assay demonstrates that some of these patients obtain a low steady state VL in the range 5-50 copies/ml, while others continue to exhibit VL declines to below 5 copies/ml. Interestingly, when patients exhibit continued declines below 50 copies/ml the virus has a half-life of ~6 months, consistent with some estimates of the rate of latent cell decline. Some patients, despite having sustained undetectable VLs, show periods of transient viremia (blips). We present a statistical characterization of the blips observed in a set of 123 patients, suggesting that patients have different tendencies to show blips during the period of VL suppression, that intermittent episodes of viremia have common amplitude profiles, and that VL decay from the peak of a blip may have two phases.

Language: English. Number of References: 38 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - We have developed a rapid, duplexed microsphere-based immunoassay for the characterization of influenza virus types that has the potential to overcome many of the limitations of current detection methods. The assay uses microspheres of two sizes, each coupled to an influenza type A- or type B-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb), to capture influenza viruses in the sample. A cocktail of fluorescently labeled, influenza-specific polyclonal antibodies then binds the captured viruses. The sandwich complexes are measured using a multiparameter flow cytometer. The assay can distinguish between influenza types A and B in a single reaction with good reproducibility and high sensitivity. Detection sensitivity is much higher than that of commercially available influenza diagnosis quick kits: the FLU OIA (Thermo Biostar) kit and the Directigen Flu A+B kit (Becton Dickinson). The multiplexing capabilities of the current assay, which are not possible with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the commercially available kits, reduce sample handling and consume fewer costly reagents. This assay represents a more efficient and sensitive method of characterizing influenza types. With inclusion of influenza subtype-specific antibodies as capture antibodies, this microsphere-based immunoassay can be expanded to differentiate among influenza types and subtypes in a single reaction to improve world-wide influenza surveillance.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Host-pathogen interactions result in protein expression changes within both the host and the pathogen. Here, results from proteomic characterization of host response following exposure to Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, and to two near neighbors, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica, are reported. Human monocyte-like cells were chosen as a model for macrophage immune response to pathogen exposure. Two-dimensional electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry was used to identify host proteins with differential expression following exposure to these three closely related Yersinia species. This comparative proteomic characterization of host response clearly shows that host protein expression patterns are distinct for the different pathogen exposures, and contributes to further understanding of Y. pestis virulence and host defense mechanisms. This work also lays the foundation for future studies aimed at defining biomarkers for presymptomatic detection of plague.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Agroforestry; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health N2 - A real-time reporter system was developed to monitor the thermal induction of virulence factors in Yersinia pestis, the aetiological agent of plague. The reporter system consists of a plasmid in Y. pestis in which the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) is under the control of the promoters for six virulence factors, yopE, sycE, yopK, yopT, yscN, and lcrE yopN, which are all components of the Type III secretion virulence mechanism of Y. pestis. Induction of the expression of these genes in vivo was determined by the increase in fluorescence intensity of GFP in real time, in 96-well format. Different basal levels of expression at 26°C were observed for the Y. pestis promoters. Expressed as percentages of the level measured for the lac promoter (positive control), the basal expression levels before temperature shift were: yopE (15%), sycE (15%), yopK (13%), yopT (4%), lcrE (3.3%), and yscN (0.8%). Following the shift in temperature from 26 to 37°C, the rates of expression of these genes increased with the yopE reporter showing the strongest degree of induction. The rates of induction of the other virulence factors after the temperature, expressed as percentages of yopE induction, were: yopK (57%), sycE (9%), yscN (3%), lcrE (3%), and yopT (2%). The thermal induction of each of these promoter fusions was repressed by calcium, and the ratios of the initial rates of thermal induction without calcium supplementation compared to the rate with calcium supplementation were: yopE (11-fold), yscN (7-fold), yopK (6-fold), lcrE (3-fold), yopT (2-fold), and sycE (1-fold). This work demonstrates a novel approach to quantify gene induction and provides a method to rapidly determine the effects of external stimuli on expression of Y. pestis virulence factors in real time, in living cells, as a means to characterize virulence determinants.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Nearly 200 million individuals worldwide are currently infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, the latest treatment for HCV infection, elicits long-term responses in only about 50% of patients treated. No effective alternative treatments exist for non-responders. Consequently, significant efforts are continuing to maximize response to combination therapy. However, rational therapy optimization is precluded by the poor understanding of the mechanism(s) of ribavirin action against HCV. Ribavirin alone induces either a transient early decline or no decrease in HCV viral load, but in combination with interferon it significantly improves long-term response rates. Here we present a model of HCV dynamics in which, on the basis of growing evidence, we assume that ribavirin decreases HCV infectivity in an infected individual in a dose-dependent manner. The model quantitatively predicts long-term response rates to interferon monotherapy and combination therapy, fits observed patterns of HCV RNA decline in patients undergoing therapy, reconciles conflicting observations of the influence of ribavirin on HCV RNA decline, provides key insights into the mechanism of ribavirin action against HCV, and establishes a framework for rational therapy optimization.

Chapter 1 gives background information necessary to understand the basic theories and practices of environmental/public health risk communication, and provides a basis for understanding information in other chapters. Chapter 2 discusses how to plan a communication effort. Chapter 3 gives more in-depth information on different methods of communicating risk, and describes how each differs from its counterparts in other areas of communication. Chapter 4 discusses how to evaluate risk communication efforts, including how to measure success. Chapter 5 focuses on risk communication during and after an emergency, with particular emphasis on bioterrorism events. Chapters that discuss how to apply risk communication (as opposed to those dealing with more theoretical aspects such as principles and ethics) end with a checklist, which can be used to help plan and develop your risk communication efforts. Sections on using technology in communication, choosing visuals, understanding stigma and privacy issues, and evaluating communication results have been expanded to include the latest methods and research-driven examples.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Tropical Diseases N2 - Potential risks to human health and the environment from metals associated with an Air Force strafing pit at Koon-ni Range in the Republic of Korea were evaluated. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology and conventional laboratory analyses were used to characterize metal concentrations in nearshore marine sediments and invertebrates. Sediment and invertebrate samples were collected from a 1.6-ha tidal mudflat that received overshoot from training activities at the strafing pit. A field-portable XRF analyzer was used to measure concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments. Laboratory analytical methods were used to analyze whole-body concentrations of arsenic, chromium, copper, lead, and zinc in invertebrate tissues. The concentrations found in sediments were compared with ecological sediment screening concentrations. The concentrations in invertebrate tissues were compared with safe levels for shellfish consumption by humans. Except for chromium and nickel, the concentrations of metals in the sediments were at levels considered safe for ecological resources. Although concentrations of chromium and nickel in the sediment could pose potential risks to ecological resources, the evaluation of risks was very conservative and likely overstated risk potentials for these metals. Metal concentrations in invertebrate tissues did not exceed levels considered safe for human consumption.

Under the law, a National Security Training Commission was appointed for matters regarding universal military training. The first report of the Commission on October 129, 1959, includes a draft of a Universal Military Training Bill. In its discussion, the Commission stressed that it is considering a six-month period of training to be followed by seven and a half years of service in the reserve. The apparent reason of the U.S. in adopting the universal military training, against a long tradition of opposition to the program, is the economy financially and in terms of productive manpower compared with maintaining a large standing army.

The strategic use of atomic bombs in warfare invites proliferation of its development in which case a need for an atomic armament control plan is deemed necessary. Several frameworks upon which disarmament control policies should be based is presented one of which is an international agreement which will set limitation on arms production including atomic armaments. The control scheme, however, requires a knowledge in the dynamics of developing an atomic bomb such as plutonium and uranium content or the amount of fissionable material.

Technical and scientific reports are different from books and periodical articles to an extent that their identification, or to use a library term, their descriptive cataloging should be different. One of the important means of identifying reports and probably the most popular is the report number. Because citation is so simple and because it is possible to refer to a classified report in the open literature by number only, the report number as a means of bibliographic identification has become very popular with scientists.

One most important step in this process was agreed upon at the Conference on Primary Publications held by the National Research Council in Washington on February 11, 1950. For research libraries, journals comprise the core of the collection. Recently, however, production of reports has increased so considerably that one must study them in relation to the journals. We must find new procedures in processing and use to relieve in any way by those staff members who are handling these materials.

It is said that the U.S., which has spent the most on the nuclear energy research, has the least immediate need for a new large-scale power source. An important aspect of creating a large-scale civilian nuclear power industry is to evaluate its impact on power costs. The author discussed a nuclear power economics analysis from the Argonne National Laboratory. Issues related to the development of a civilian nuclear power industry is discussed including technical problems, system longevity and the non-military or semi-military uses for nuclear reactors.

The dual purpose reactor holds the promise of economic power production, at the same time contributing to the strength for the preservation of peace. It aims to produce useful electrical power and to make available more fissionable material. It also discusses the desire to increase the earth's stored energy resources which includes the uranium and thorium of the earth's crust. The present technology for the expansion of the resources is known as regeneration, conversion, or breeding.

It discusses the four principal technical problems confronting the reactor designer. First is the choice of heat-transfer systems including the choice of media for carrying the heat generated by the fission process in the reactor to a turbo-generator unit to make electricity. The second problem refers to the choice of materials of construction and their stability under the conditions of intense irradiation inside a nuclear reactor. The third problem deals with the chemical processing of the irradiated fuels of the reactor. The fourth problem refers to the choice of plant location.

Such is here neither contemplated nor Intended. Scope has been restricted to problems concerning library cataloging through subject headings. Observations herein concern American practices in devising subject headings for alphabetic card catalogs, irrespective of whether the finished products are assembled as portions of dictionary catalogs or are filed to form the subject sections of "divided" catalogs. The form of card used is assumed to be the "unit" type wherein each card includes identical and reason- ably full descriptive and informative data for the communication covered. The term `general catalog' is taken to mean one designed for many users, to be Inclusive of one or selected disciplines Intensively or covering portions of all fields of knowledge rather than to connote any particular degree of specificity or level of analysis for Individual communications. A searching criticism Is directed to current tendencies In subject heading construction which are presently denoted as "direct and specific" in the hope that the full import and significance of the duality concept will emerge. It is suggested that the duality concept is applicable to all forms of subject analysis for all kinds of communications. It Is recommended that research and experimental Investigations be directed to effecting a marriage of the best features of subject-headed unit cards with those of marginal punched cards. The "Uniterm" specie of coordinate indexing Is reviewed critically because of its purported challenge to the major modes of subject analysis.

According to the author, there remains one chance for a valuable degree of arms limitation by mutual agreement that does not demand complicated and absurd apparatus of internal control. It is an agreement to prohibit further tests of H-bombs and to have the long-range monitoring done by an international agency, to guarantee that any violation would be unambiguously announced to the world. He contends that even though it provides no disarmament and provides arms limitation only indirectly by limiting the development of new types of arms, this agreement would have a very important value to both sides.

Stassen as special assistant on disarmament of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The assignment of Stassen on this cabinet level post signifies the government's show of interest in thinking through the tremendous problem of chancing a reasonable option to the jeopardies of the unlimited arms race. According to the author, the year 1947 was the downward turning point of American thought on disarmament which was learned from the testimony before the Gray Board by Frederick Osborn. In addition, he assesses that there have been many eruptions in the world's local tensions to distract all statesmen from thoughts of long-term settlements of disarmament problem during 1947 to 1955.

Yellow light, low in photosynthetic activity, promoted the reversal more rapidly than did red light, which is efficient in promotion of steady-state photosynthesis. Thus cytochrome oxidase is active in the photosyntesizing leaf during recovery from the inhibition.

An example of what might be done to reconcile nations is to seek an international agreement to stop all testing of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, as well as to simultaneously take steps to concentrate in large international research projects. The development of controlled thermonuclear power is suggested. However, one impediment to major disarmament efforts is the tendency of the people to foster stress just to maintain public interest in paying for deterrence.

According to political and military analysts, stopping tests of hydrogen bomb and other weapons of mass destruction involves a balance of elements of relative national strengths that is too complex to be cogitate and properly judged by an average voter, considering the limited attention he is able to give to the matter. The likelihood of devastating nuclear war is unfortunately very real. While radioactive dangers from continued testing may be very real, it is unlikely that they will cause anything like this enormous number of casualties within the probable lifetime of civilization if the arms race continues.

Furthermore, the author said that it has never implied the recognition of the deep national need for long-range investigation of the possible foundations of a future armament policy, independent of the exigencies of the daily execution of foreign policy.

Of course, when the source is such that only certain tissues of organs of the body are irradiated, the effects are more local. The researchers also noted some minor differences between the different radiations. For example, neutrons are two or three times as effective in killing cells as X-rays are, and gamma rays are a little less effective than X-rays. This led the researchers to believe that these differences are due to the fact that heavier particles give up their energy in greater packages where they pass through tissue, while other particles act in a more scattered fashion.

Before the advent of nuclear energy, one could consider all man-made radiation sources as localized in character. However, with the proliferation of nuclear energy applications to various industries, the scientific community are becoming concerned about the levels of harmful radiation into the atmosphere. It was for this reason that interest focused on establishing permissible limits for relatively small numbers of adults occupationally exposed to radiation hazards. The large-scale release of radioactive products into the earth’s atmosphere and the subsequent deposition of these materials on the earth’s surface attracted public interest and initiated controversy.

Response to this carbamate in the Avena section test is not directly related to the pH of unbuffered test systems, nor is the activity changed significantly in a medium buffered test systems, nor is the activity changed significantly in a medium buffered to a constant pH. Activity of G-33 does not decrease but actually increases when tested on sections depleted of their endogenous auxin. Furthermore, G-33 causes no liberation of bound C14-indoleacetic acid from sections previously exposed to the labeled auxin. It is encluded that the activity of G-33 does not derive from the enhancement of tissue response to endogenous auxin. These observations permit the less equivocal characterization of G-33 as an auxin that does not possess the closed ring system usually associated with auxin activity.

Aspartic-C14 acid was readily metabolized in excised orgatis of a wide variety of plant species. In leaves, both light and aerobic conditions accelerated the disappearance of label from the supplied aspartate. 2. Label from aspartate-C14 was quickly converted into malate under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. 3. Aerobic conditions favored the labeling of citric acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, asparagine, and threonine. Under anaerobic conditions, a biger percentage of the aspartate metabolized was found in succinic acid. 4. Alanine became labeled readily under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. 5. Glutamine was labeled readily iti the leaves and roots. Less label from aspartate appeared in asparagine than in glutamine. Glutamine labeling frotn aspartate was greater in the leaves in light; asparagine labeling was much less. In darkness formation of asparagine-C14 increased but never to the 546 A. W. NAYLOR, R. extent as did glutamine-C14. Roots and coleoptiles incorporate more label from aspartate into asparagine than do leaves. Oat roots and coleoptiles incorporated more lahel into asparagine than any of the legumes tested. 6. Homoserine and threonine derived label from aspartate-C14. Alaska pea roots were especially capable of accumulating label in homoserine but not in threonine. In contrast, all other plants tested accumulated labeled threonine. 7. No evidence was obtained to support the hypothesis that β-alanine is formed from aspartate.

The need for introducing controls has an urgency arising from the fact that the task is becoming more difficult with the rapid advance and spread in weapons technology. It has been said that if no controls can be enforced on the arms race, the continuing approach to perfection of instant destructive capability on the part of many nations is expected despite all attempts at developing defense against it.

The distribution pattern of waste production will probably be different if liquid-fuel or homogeneous reactors should be built rather than solid-fuel reactors. The successful development of the homogeneous reactor may imply a more widespread production of high level wastes than would result from a nuclear power economy based on solid-fuel reactors. Tank storage is the basic method for high-level waste disposal at major operating sites.

The proposals made by U.S. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey and other similar plans remain of interest to the country because the basic problem of allaying Soviet suspicions of a practical inspection plan favors the U.S. It is much better if the Soviets will agree to send enough inspection trips to prevent similar complications. In addition, the Soviets are suspecting foreign inspectors because they fear that a great number of trips directed by predominantly foreign teams could effectively pry into geographic state secrets such as military, industrial, and penal installations.

Investigations of the action of kinetin in cell division have proceeded along two lines — comparisons of the chemical structure of kinetin analogs with their biological activity and cytological examinations of kinetin-treated tissues.

The articles would provide for discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests conducted directly or through any other country. One of three proposed annexes to the treaty has been adopted. The annex establishes a preparatory commission consisting of one representative from each of the original parties to the treaty. There are several articles and annexes which will be discussed when the talks are resumed which were all proposed by the U.S. The Soviet Union has made counterproposals to some of these.

Several methods have been used to estimate rates of breakdown of dead organic matter. This breakdown is an important process for maintaining cycles of nutrients in ecological systems. Rates of breakdown of forest litter influence the rates at which nutrient elements in litter become available for renewed uptake by the vegetation and the amounts of litter and thus of nutrients which accumulate in the forest floor. The rates of breakdown of leaf litter have been estimated from weight loss of leaves in mesh bags, and of leaves that were not confined. The article introduces a new method to recover specific leaves, which are not confined, except by strings attached to petioles. Comparing results from this method with those from bagged leaves in the same forests helps to interpret both the process of breakdown and the methods of investigating it. Confinement of litter in bags allows observation of known amounts of leaves of known history and recovery of all material except for some of the fragments smaller than the mesh size and dissolved matter removed by gravity, water, or soil fauna.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1964/05// VL - 7 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 291 EP - 306 SN - 00192805 AB - The ability of C57BL, C3H, and A strain marrow cells to proliferate on transplantation into irradiated isogenic, F1 hybrid, and backcross progeny mice has been investigated by the spleen-colony technique and by measuring the newly-formed DNA in the recipient spleen with [131I] 5-iododeoxyuridine. Transplants of C57BL cells grew poorly in (A × C57BL) F1 and in (C57BL × C3H) F1 and reciprocal hybrids, as compared with isogenic and allogeneic hosts, whereas C3H and A strain marrow grafts were successful in isogenic, F1 hybrid and backcross recipients. In segregating backcross progeny, i.e. in offspring from F1 hybrid females mated to C57BL males, the frequency of success or failure of the C57BL grafts suggested that the trait was controlled by a single pair of genetic determinants at an autosomal locus. The latter is apparently linked with, or part of, the H-2 region in the IXth linkage group. The experimental evidence suggested also that the failure of C57BL haemopoietic cell grafts in H-2 heterozygotes was not related to exhaustion of donor cells by excess of recipient isoantigen but rather to lack of expression in the heterozygotes of histocompatibility-related growth requirements yet undefined. These requirements are specific for haemopoietic cells, but not for skin grafts, and resulted most probably from the effect of genetic (inter-allelic) interaction involving H-2 or an H-2-linked locus.

The two publications "La Force de Frappe," and "La Force de Frappe et le Citoyen," are made to present some of the technical, strategic and economic information necessary to appraise the question. "La force de Frappe et le Citoyen," has the advantage of being more consistent and logically direct and thus the more persuasive. The opinion is expressed that as far as the purely military, big-power effectiveness of the force de frappe is concerned, it will always be decisively conditioned by its being several years behind the latest weaponry. The only weapon system that can be afforded is that which, in the big power arena, has found its defense.

One Sucker. Of the various vegetative organs, leaves were found to accumulate the greatest concentrations of boron. The lower, older leaves had significantly higher concentrations than did the upper, younger leaves. There was a differential in accumulation among various regions of a given leaf with the apical, marginal portion containing the highest and the midrib the lowest concentration of boron. In contrast with leaves the lower internodes of the stem contained the lowest concentrations of boron. In a given internodal region of the stem the highest boron concentration was found in the outer chlorophyllous cells of the cortex and the lowest in the xylem.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1964/11// VL - 7 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 681 EP - 699 SN - 00192805 AB - In addition to the usual serum precipitating antibody, immunized rats produce a thermolabile antibody that is able to sensitize mast ceils and cause damage to these cells on reacting with the specific antigen. Due to this property this antibody is called ‘mast cell sensitizing’ antibody (MCSAb). Like human reagins, it is destroyed by beating at 56° and when injected into homologous skin will remain at the site of injection for as long as 1 month. In contrast, the antibody disappears very quickly from serum when injected into recipient rats. Although its production can be induced in various ways, the administration of Bordetella pertussis organisms along with the antigen is particularly effective. MCSAb seems to be the product of a primary response, since its production is prevented or very much reduced by previous or additional contacts with antigen. The mechanism of passive sensitization of mast cells with MCSAb was studied by incubating pieces of rat mesentery with antigen in vitro, using antigen-induced mast cell damage or histamine release as a measure of sensitization. Sensitization increases with time of contact between cells and antibody and can attain a maximum within the first few minutes depending upon antibody concentration. Sensitizations at 37° and 4° proceed at about the same speed. Nonspecific γ-globulin inhibits sensitization with MCSAb when used in large amounts. Rabbit, rat, human and bovine γ-globulin slowed down sensitization, whereas horse γ-globulin was without effect. Sensitization with MCSAb can be completely reversed by washing the sensitized mesentery in Tyrode's solution. The time required to remove MCSAb by washing was inversely proportional to the time of contact between cells and antiserum during sensitization. Anaphylactic phenomena induced with MCSAb seem to be primarily due to histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine release. The possibility of a relationship between the methods of immunization leading to the production of mast cell sensitizing antibody and the establishment of a delayed hypersensitivity is considered.

Delayed hypersensitivity, preceded the appearance of ‘mast cell sensitizing’ antibody (MCSAb) in those animals which were only fully susceptible to anaphylaxis when both delayed and immediate reactions had reached their maximum. Passive anaphylaxis with MCSAb was fatal only when transferred to actively sensitized rats at a time when the animals had delayed cutaneous reactions but were not yet fully susceptible to anaphylaxis. It is suggested that anaphylaxis in rats is due to an additive or synergistic effect between immediate and delayed hypersensitivities.

With material grown in total darkness, all PFR levels inhibit, and maximal inhibition requires 40 to 60 % PFR. When the segments were cut from plants given 15 minutes of red light 8 to 12 hours before the experiment, conditions initially establishing 5 to 20% PFR promote subsequent elongation, and only more than 20 % PFR inhibits. This suggests that the level of PFR in such segments is initially higher than 20 %. However, direct assays of the tissues used, confirming earlier time-course studies on both intact and excised tissues, indicate that spectrophotometrically-detectable phytochrome is all in the PR form by 8 hours alter a red illumination. The implications of this and other observations for attempts to relate physiological events and spectrophotometrically-assayable phytochrome are discussed.

In discussing systems of inspection, one must take care not to make a fetish of inspection as an end in itself. In a program of arms development control or of disarmament, inspection may be a useful means to two ends: discouraging evasion of the terms of agreement and providing assurance to each side that the other side is not gaining an advantage by evasion. Inspection may thus be the basis of far-reaching mutual restraint between suspicious adversaries. A program of arms reduction leading definitely to an advanced degree of disarmament without increase of risk to either side can provide substantial incentives. The region-by-region plan provides a reasonable way in which rational yet suspicious adversaries should be able to agree on disarmament without undue risk, if only it can be incorporated in a plan leading in a well-defined manner to a stage of disarmament clearly beneficial to all parties, so as to provide the necessary incentive to get started.

A single indexing system would make for greater efficiency and convenience. To remain useful and viable, an index needs regular revision by scientists themselves. Keeping in sight the desirability of achieving compatibility with systems in other fields, each field could begin with a system integral in itself and of immediate applicability. Uniformity could develop as various systems copy the better features developed by other systems. It is suggested that eventually agreed index terms will be appended to all journal articles, that there will be provision for completeness and currency of terms, and that authors, journal editors, and referees will have important contributions to make so that the system operates efficiently and is consistent.

It also has many applications in numerical analysis, but it is not widely used because the existing algorithms are fairly complicated and require considerable storage space. A simple extension has been found to the conventional orthogonalization method for inverting nonsingular matrices, which gives the generalized inverse with little extra effort and with no additional storage requirements. The algorithm gives the generalized inverse for any m by n matrix A, including the special case when m = n and A is nonsingular and the case when m > n and rank (A) = n. In the first case the algorithm gives the ordinary inverse of A. In the second case the algorithm yields the ordinary least squares transformation matrix [ATA)-1AT and has the advantage of avoiding the loss of significance which results in forming the product AT explicitly.

With the bed maintained on the saline water side of the heat exchanger, the tube surfaces have been found to remain free of scale throughout extended tests with sea water in the temperature range 330°F to 340°F. Calcium sulfate, continuously precipitating from solution as fresh feed was added, remained in suspension in the brine stream under recirculation and did not accumulate on the bed particles or, to any extent, in the external piping circuit. Heat transfer coefficients were high due to the presence of the bed particles with over-all values, condensing steam to saline water, maintained at about 850Btu/hrft. 2 °F.

These make obsolete many original articles and cause loss of author credit but fails to see how any other method would be workable. Critical data tables trigger new research, as does improvement in methodology. Obtaining competent critical review articles is a big problem even when a substantial honorarium is offered. Suggests that writing of critical reviews be organized similar to critical data compilation centers, and that better appreciation and renumeration be given to physicists contributing to the communcication function.

With respect to roll film, libraries were reluctant to purchase the wide variety of equipment needed to handle the varieties of film, and users did not like using unfamiliar machinery. With microcards, none of the card readers available was inexpensive enough for libraries to make them freely available. There was also no such thing as a good and cheap reader-printer. Microfiche may be integrated into library usage since efforts have been made to achieve standardization. An inexpensive desk-top microfiche reader costing less than $100 has been developed.

Phytochrome levels are highest in sections associated with growth such as buds and eambial regions. Interior tissues of tubers and the scale leaves of bulbs which are storage tissue contain low or no detectable phytochrome. However, in the storage root of Pastinaca sativa L. phytochrome is distributed in both the phloem and central regions, though it is highest in the cambial region. Total phytochrome in Gladiolus corm buds exposed to 3 minutes of red light followed by approximately 24 hours of darkness decreases more than 60 per cent. This rapid loss of detectable phytochrome in Gladiolus corm buds resembles phytochrome destruction in etiolated seedlings.

The filters permit free diffusion of 19S and 7S antibodies into ‘empty’ chambers in vivo and in vitro. Pronase treatment of the chamber dissolves the clot and frees cells attached to the inner surfaces. This permits almost complete recovery of the chamber culture cells. Chamber cultures can be readily transferred from one host to another and kept in vitro at room temperature for at least 6 hours without any loss of activity. In vivo diffusion problems arise after 1 month of culture, most probably due to excessive growth of peritoneal cells on the outer surface of the filters; this limitation can be overcome by serial in vivo transfer of the chamber and wiping the outer surface at the time of transfer. The diffusion chamber culture method as described here fulfills all the pre-requisites of an assay system with which one can perform precise cytokinetic analysis of antibody response.

Approximately 11 vertical temperature gradients and horizontal gradients were present in a large chamber. A plenum containing two stainless steel perforated diffuser walls provided a space for the preconditioned air. This method helps to improve the performance of plant growth chambers.

The model, which assumes nonpreemptive priorities, random breakdowns, and general repair time distributions, is closely analogous to the classical priority queuing model of KESTEN AND RUNNENBURG. A system of equations, for the multivariate binomial moments of the number of machines working in each battery immediately after a repair is completed, is established and solved.

Cbn works closely with the iupac commission on organic nomenclature and with the iub commission of editors of biochemical journals (cebj), to the latter of which it may truly be considered a consulting body. To promote awareness of proper nomenclature in biochemistry, to catalyze and coordinate scattered activities, and to be a source of information for authors, editors and catalogers, the national academy of sciences-national research council created, last year, the office of biochemical nomenclature (obn). Obn's role is catalytic, not creative, and is thus complementary to the creative role given to cbn. The organization, working methods, and products of these two agencies, which presently dominate biochemical nomenclature activities, are discussed.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1967/08// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 125 EP - 140 SN - 00192805 AB - Attempts were made to immunize F1 hybrid mice to their inbred parental strains by active immunization with either living or dead parental cells and by adoptive transfer of isogenic (F1) lymph node cells to irradiated hybrids that subsequently received parental bone marrow. Cumulative mortality studies and erythrocyte serotyping revealed that many mice survived and retained their parental grafts for long periods of time. In most experiments reported here, 59Fe uptake by erythrocytes and spleens of chimeras 1 week after marrow transplantation was used as a measure of erythropoiesis and thereby of success or failure of the marrow graft. Pre-treatment (‘pre-immunization’)of hybrids with parental spleen cells produced no evidence of specific immunization. However, pre-treatment with spleen cells from parent 1 was detrimental to subse- quently transplanted marrow from parent 2 and vice-versa. Adoptive transfer of viable F1 lymph node cells failed to decrease growth of parental cells in irradiated F1 hybrids. These findings indicate that the poor-growth phenomenon of particular parent-F1 combinations cannot be explained in terms of classical immune rejection of parental cells by F1 hybrids. Instead, growth of parental cells in the F1 environment is inhibited or delayed.

Resolution of a technological problem involves few individual decisions. The resolution of social problems by the traditional method, by motivating people to behave more rationally, is a heartbreaking, frustrating business. The most successful feats of large-scale social engineering in the past have avoided the problem of changing human nature. The assumption of the founding fathers of the U.S., that political institutions must capitalize on, or at least circumvent, man's imperfections seems to me to be the only practical approach to eventual stabilization of the world order. One must devise social institutions that countervail each other in a manner that maintains the stability of the entire structure. The impressive example of social engineering embodied in the U.S. constitution appears to be still unavailable to the world at large.

The generalized resolvent of two such clauses is defined and shown to staisfy the basis completeness theorem. This result is obtained as a consequence of the factorization properties of substitutions and the closure of the set of t-languages under intersection.

JO - Oikos JF - Oikos Y1 - 1968/01// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 18 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00301299 AB - Radioisotope tags of rubidium-86 and phosphorus-32 were used to measure food consumption by the chrysomelid beetle Chrysochus auratus feeding upon the old field herb Apocynum cannabinum. The elimination of isotope by beetles which had fed upon tagged plants was used to estimate the rates of food consumption. For individuals at isotopic equilibrium with their food base, isotope input (I) equals the biological turnover of isotope: I + kQeM/a, where k is the turnover rate of isotope, Qe is the equilibrium concentration of isotope in the beetles, M is mass (mg dry wt), and a is the assimilation coefficient for the particular radioisotope. If the radioisotope concentration of the food base is known, input also can be expressed as food consumed. Turnover rates (k) were calculated from biological half-lives (Tb), where k - 0.693/Tb. The biological half-life of 86Rb in Chrysochus was one day, while that of 32P was 7.5 days in females and 10.2 days in males. The calorific value of Apocynum leaves was 4625 cal/g dry wt (5640 cal/g ash-free wt); that of Chrysochus was 5227 cal/g dry wt (5537 cal/g ash-free wt). Individuals consumed 56.8% (15.9 mg) of their dry body weight in food per day. Of the ingested foliage, 43% of the ash-free dry matter was digested, 56% of the energy assimilated, and 71% of the ash content assimilated. The calorific value (cal/g) of digested food was 1.17 times greater than that consumed. Beetles assimilated 87% of the 86Rb and 74% of the 32P present in food. Ranking of turnover times showed Chrysochus to be most conservative in its expenditure of food energy and dry matter, followed by mineral constituents.

However, the primary response was meagre and negative in the cell-transfer and diffusion-chamber culture systems of dispersed spleen cells, respectively. In contrast, no significant difference could be demonstrated between heat-treated and untreated HGG preparations in their capacity to induce a secondary response in intact mice. Furthermore, good secondary responses were obtained in both the cell-transfer and diffusion-chamber culture systems. This suggests differences between primed and non-primed spleen cells in their requirements of cellular organization for the initiation of antibody response. Both the primary and the secondary responses were found to be antigen-dose dependent, although the optimum antigen dose range was broad. Moreover, doses of heat- treated HGG (≤ 10-12 g) lower than that reported for the excellent immunogen, flagella, were sufficient to induce secondary responses, thereby emphasizing the utility of HGG for studying the role of antigen in the initiation of primary and secondary antibody responses.

Seven species of trees and shrubs in Brookhaven forest, New York, were used in the estimation. To carry out various computations, a computer program was created. Distributions of biomass and net production among major plant parts are presented as means for sets of sample plants and as regressions. Results showed that regression within species may be used to estimate weight, production and surface relations of shrubland and forests. Findings suggest that the system of analysis has significant usefulness for the study of shrubs, woodland and forest communities.

McNamara that the government decided to deploy a thin antiballistic missile (ABM) defense. The discussion of McNamara on first-strike capability and second strike capability was well-defined. He assured the people that neither the U.S. or the Soviet Union can develop a first-strike capability against the other and both will preserve a second-strike capability. However, the decision to mount an ABM defense is a move in the opposite direction. It shows how hard it is for the Americans to approach a spirit of military restraint for broader goals. The offer announced by President Andrew Johnson to open the nonmilitary nuclear installations is a modest step in the right direction.

The regression models considered are shown to arise from radioactive tracer experiments using compartmental models. For such models the regression equations are shown to be linear combinations of the same exponential parameters, and the number of independent regression equations is also shown to be the same as the number of exponential parameters. The estimation procedure is developed under the assumption of equally spaced values of the independent variable. The first step of the procedure involves the simultaneous estimation of the exponential parameters by a generalized partial totals approach, and the second step involves the simultaneous estimation of the linear parameters using the estimates of the nonlinear parameters. Modifications are presented that make the estimation procedure more versatile, and asymptotic properties are also investigated. The procedure is illustrated with generated data.

Isologous mouse 7S serum protein labelled with 125I was used as the control. The results of these studies support the following conclusions: (1) Antigen retention in germinal centres during the primary immune reaction is a dynamic process. For some antigens there may be opsonins available at the the time of injection which promote initial localization in germinal centres. However, the continued localization of antigen over weeks and months is a function of specific antibody production. (2) For some period of time, germinal centres are specific to the antigen that stimulated their development, and eventually these centres will respond to a different antigen. (3)Antigen persisting in germinal centres is functional in the development of the secondary immune potential.

It has been pointed out elsewhere that if relative error is used as the measure of goodness of fit, optimal results are not obtained when the initial approximation is a best fit. It is shown here that if, instead, the so-called logarithmic error is used, then a best initial fit is optimal for both types of error. Moreover, use of the logarithmic error appears to simplify the problem of determining the optimal initial approximation.

Not only the initial angle of the pinnules, but the degree of control by phytochrome depends on the "subjective time of day" at which the tissue is exposed. Excised pairs of pinnules close rapidly when submerged in water; such closure is prevented by bubbling oxygen through the water. However, if submergence closure were due solely to low oxygen levels, then nonsubmerged pinnules in a pure nitrogen atmosphere should also close. Instead, they neither close nor respond to light, but they do respond when air is readmitted, indicating that oxygen is necessary for movement rather than for photoreception. The closure of submerged pinnules remains unexplained. Attempts to detect effects of red or far-red on oxygen uptake by pulvinus tissue were unsuccessful. The following method has been used to test the effects of various inhibitors and other substances: pinnules are excised at the first hour of the day, trimmed, submerged in a sealed chamber, given far-red light, and left in darkness while oxygen is bubbled through the medium. Concentrated test solutions are injected either initially or when the red and far-red exposures are given. Thus far, the substances tested have had little or no effect on the phytochrome response.

The system uses a rotating refresh memory to feed standard television monitors. To produce a stereographic display the computer calculates the projected video images of an object, viewed from two separated paints. The resulting video maps are stored on separate refresh bands of the rotating memory. The two output signals are connected to separate color guns of a color television monitor, thus creating superimposed image on the screen. Optical separation is achieved by viewing the image through color filters. The display is interactive and can be viewed by a large group of people at the same time.

Since even the accepted trivial names of the amino acids, monosaccharides, and nucleotides derived by hydrolysis, and thus considered to be the base units of the polymers, are too long for this situation, 3- or 1-letter contractions are employed in horizontal arrays. Known sequences are indicated by hyphens representing peptide, glycoside, or phosphodiester links, and unknown ones by commas between residues. Substitution on functional groups other than those in the linear main chain are symbolized by vertical bonds at the appropriate symbols. These conventions for the natural polymers have been extended to the polynucleotides recently synthesized by chemical and enzymic means, where homopolymers, repeating copolymers, and interchain associations are encountered. The source-based name, 'polymer of,' is reduced to either the prefix 'poly' or the subscript suffix 'n' (e.g., poly a or an). Known and random sequences in copolymers utilize the hyphen and comma, respectively (e.g., (a-u)n and (a,u)n). Interchain association (noncovalent) is shown by the center dot (as in (a)n (u)m), nonassociation by a plus sign (a)n + (g)m), and indefiniteness by a comma between the symbols defining each chain.

Johnson N2 - A review of research leading to the use of L-dopa in Parkinson's syndrome and use of 5-hydroxytryptophan in the hypertonia of Down's syndrome commonly found in manganese poisoning is presented. Pharmacological and biochemical considerations of the dopamine precursor (L-dopa) and the serotonin precursor (5-hydroxytryptophan) are also discussed. It was found that both levodopa and the dopamine synthesized from it can bind vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and the administration of this vitamin results in diminution of several of the effects of dopa. This apparent interaction between dopa and pyridoxine metabolism is important for 2 reasons: (1) administration of L-dopa may induce pyridoxine deficiency and this might tend to defeat the therapeutic purpose because the vitamin is a cofactor in the synthesis of dopamine from dopa and, (2) administration of pyridoxine hydrochloride did not always result in an overall cancellation of the effects of L-dopa.

To test, cocklebur plants were used as the subject, exposing for from 15 to 160 hour of continuous light prior to the dark treatment. They were also examined when removed from dark treatment as well as during their exposure under high-light period with a maintained temperature. After examining the output with the use of a damped harmonic function, it was revealed that the rhythmic-flowering cycle is initiated by the onset of darkness. Their flowering hormone is also found to be elaborated by leaves in darkness.

A large conventional memory matrix is connected adjacent to the small content-addressable army. The organization of information and interactivity of matrices is specified so that, for many important applications, the large conventional storage itself virtually exhibits the property of content-addressability. A discussion is presented on the implementation of this scheme for file-scanning operations at brookhaven national laboratory utilizing the brooknet digital communications network.

Some of the centers are connected with 'paper-handling' organizations, such as document depositories or special libraries; they usually do not qualify as true 'analytical' centers because there are no 'working scientists' to support the center's information activities. Centers also find a home in single-purpose institutions in which the specific field of science or engineering is cultivated, such as specialized industrial laboratories. The third alternative is to locate groups of information centers within the framework of a large, multipurpose laboratory. Of necessity, they interact with each other and influence-it is to be hoped, for the better-the scientific program of the host agency.

Four centers, located at brookhaven, ,paris, vienna, and obninsk (ussr), service the needs of the world for such data. The ambiguities involved in the process of measurement of neutron interactions are in conflict with the needs of users for unambiguous information. This problem necessitates a sophisticated system in which detailed information is conveyed in both free text and in a fixed, machine-retrievable form. The nature of the problem and the solution embodied in the network exchange systerm are briefly described. The idea of generalizing the solution to similar situations confronting other numerical data systems is introduced.

Five showed striking reduction or disappearance of rigidity and of hypokinesia, marked improvement of postural reflexes and restitution of balance. In the sixth L-dopa induced weakness, increased muscular hypotonia, increased tremor and aggravation of hypokinesia. This sixth was greatly improved by D,L-5-hydroxytryptophane (3.0 g./day). Two patients with severe dystonia from chronic manganese poisoning were markedly improved by L-dopa. Most of the effects of L-dopa disappeared a few days after substitution of placebo for the drug. In sharp contrast to Parkinsonian patients, the present subjects have not shown choreoathetoid movements thus far. In 8 persons with normal extrapyramidal function, who served as controls, slow increases in oral doses of L-dopa up to 1.0 g. six times a day induced muscular hypotonia but no weakness. Side effects seen with L-dopa included hypertensive crisis and anxiety. Possible mechanisms of action are discussed.

For the description of living systems, 'information' as measured by 'negentropy' (an extensive property) must be moduolated by an intensive property (as temperature is for themodynamic entropy) which would indicate the biological relevance or purposefulness of the information. Moreover, several kinds of information in living systems must be defined operationally. In relation to some of these kinds of information, a living system is a closed system for which conservation rules of predictive value might be established. With similar modifications, information theory may yet provide a tool for coming to quantitative grips with varied phenomena, such as cell proliferation, aging, and chemical homeostatis.

The general limitation on the country's strategic arms level is considered to be the best and most cost-effective procedure that may lead to a more secure detente. The introduction of MIRV technology presents uncertainty in the effectiveness of any arms limitation treaty which could be the most dangerous implication for the future. Security without trust has been regarded as the country's mutual problem since territorial integrity protection includes massive, conventional armies with non-nuclear equipment.

(1) Any value which is permitted in some context of the language is permissible in any other meaningful context. In particular, functions and labels are permissible results of functions and values of variables. (2) Assignment and indirect addressing are formalized by introducing values, called references, which in turn possess other values. The assignment operation always affects the relation between some reference and its value. (3) All compound data structures are treated as functions. (4) Type declarations are not permitted. The functional approach to data structures and the use of references insure that any process which accepts some data structure will accept any logically equivalent structure, regards less of its internal representation. More generally, any data structure may be implicit; i.e. it may be specified by giving an arbitrary algorithm for computing or accessing its components. The existence of label variables permits the construction of co-routines, quasi-parallel processes, and other unorthodox control mechanisms. A variety of programming examples illustrates the generality of the language. Limitations and possible extensions are discussed briefly.

The paper "Greatest Common Divisor of n Integers and Multipliers" presents an algorithm which calculates the greatest common divisor, IGCD, of n integers. Details of the method and comparisons to other algorithms are also given. The algorithm is a new version of the Euclidean algorithm for n integers. The n-1 calculations of the greatest common divisor of two integers is accomplished by means of a modified version of the Blankinship algorithm. The paper "Exponential Integral Ei (x)" presents the results of one phase of research carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under Contract NAS7-100, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It presents an algorithm which was compiled and executed without any modification on a UNIVAC 1108 computer. An unfortunate precedent has been set in several recent algorithms of using an illegal FORTRAN construction.

The optimal dose of endotoxin (1 µg/ml) gave a six-fold increase in the number of plaque-forming cells per 106 viable cells, after 6 days of culture, if it was present from the 12th to the 24th hour after antigen. There was little or no enhancement when endotoxin was given at other times during the 6 days of culture. The response was depressed when the suspension was incubated with endotoxin before the addition of red cells. The periods of RNA and DNA synthesis were determined by adding tritiated uridine and tritiated thymidine, respectively, for 24-hour periods during the 6 days of culture. Synthesis of RNA occurred throughout the culture period whereas DNA synthesis was not detected before 24 hours of culture. We found that the adjuvant action of the endotoxin which was maximum during the 1st day of culture, was associated with an initial phase of RNA synthesis, before DNA synthesis could be detected.

R. Tousignaut N2 - The 53-414 strain of Penicillium chrysogenum was cultured in a defined medium containing glucose, acetate, lactate, and phenylacetic acid as carbon sources and 99.8% deuterium oxide as solvent. Partially deuterated benzyl penicillin was isolated from the culture. Incorporation of deuterium appears almost complete at 2 positions: the C-3 position of the thiazolidine ring and the C-6 position of the \b/-lactam ring. A partial incorporation of deuterium at the C-5 position is also observed. The deuterium atoms in the C-5 and C-6 positions apparently arise during biosynthesis of the amino acid cysteine. The deuterium atom at the C-3 position apparently arises either in the biosynthesis of the amino acid valine or in the closing of the thiazolidine ring. Tables are included.

It can be assumed that this effect also takes place in the periodontal membrane (PDM). The purpose of the present investigation was to investigate whether this reduction in PDM collagen activity is reflected in the autoradiographic grain count score. Ten young adult male squirrel monkeys were injected with 3H-proline and sacrificed 48 hours after the injection. Five of the animals were injected with Ultra-cortenol® 72 and 24 hours prior to sacrifice. Grain count analysis was carried out on autoradiographs from sections of premolars, and skin biopsies were analyzed with respect to NaCl soluble 3H-activity. In the skin the activity found in the soluble fraction was lower in the Ultracortenol-treated than in the control animals (319 ± 56 cpm/mg compared to 629 ± 70 cpm/mg). Autoradiographic grain counts were carried out over the periodontal membrane, the average number of grains was lower in the Ultracortenol-injected than in the control animals. This was true for all areas of the periodontal mem-brane examined. The significance of the autoradiographic grain count score from the PDM following 3H-proline injection is discussed. It is concluded that this parameter is reasonably valid for the assessment of the PDM collagen activity.

Work Performed Under The Auspices Of The U Y1 - 1971/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - Recent hardware monitoring experience has indicated the feasibility and desirability of greater interaction with the monitoring process. This paper describes a system monitor developed with experimenter interaction, data collection, analysis, recording, and display as concurrent operations. By the simple expediency of a semiconductor memory and other more conventional techniques, wide bandwidth in data acquisition is provided. This memory is configured along with an associated arithmetic unit to facilitate a variety of data accumulation experiments. Monitored data and display presentations of instruction and address streaming, sequencing analysis, and cache memory simulation experiments are included as examples of monitor capabilities. The interactive and display facilities of the system have proved especially useful in those environments void of software monitors such as real-time operations computer-controlled experimentation, and in controlled experiments on large systems.

Atomic Energy Commis Y1 - 1971/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - Many interactive systems are inconvenient to use because the sequence of give and take between man and machine was not well thought out during system design. This paper reports a set of principles-called user engineering principles-which were employed while designing the emily text editing system. The discussion shows how applying user engineering resulted in a clean, user-oriented system. Basic to the system are the principles of 'selection not entry' and 'predictable behavior'. Selection is possible because graphic displays can present a large number of choices very rapidly. From this fact and a construct called a 'holophrast,' the emily system has been designed to have a behavior that a user can deduce from a small set of rules.

Examples are taken from existing systems, particularly from recon. The ideas presented relate to: forms of system-to-user message displays; need for a multiplicity of selection approaches to the data base; desirability of different levels of commands to the system for different levels of users; user-designed output formatting; user message-sending and file storage capabilities; on-line updating; information on system performance; and exploitation of search history for further searching.

The diffuse reflectivity shows a small increase as the ice crystallizes at 153° K. This increase is followed by a much larger increase (probably associated with crystal growth) as the sample warms, and the reflectivity reaches a maximum well below the melting temperature. Although the ice deposits appear translucent, the specular reflectivity is low, thus indicating a dull rather than a glassy surface.

The modular schedule at J.H. Ames School was developed, refined, and continually evaluated by the instructional faculty with the sole purpose of improvement of teaching and, thereby, the learning experiences of students. The staff sought more meaningful interaction among the students, a variety of media, and a physical facility. New instructional vistas were desired within the personal relationships between students and teachers, at a given moment in time, free of most administrative restraints, particularly the concepts of the necessity of five class meetings per week and the sanctity of a class hour. Intensive work is being done to search out more concrete data on small group instruction.

Unlike the latter which tend to lose their therapeutic effect with time, levodopa continues to be effective with prolonged therapy, controlling the parkinsonian symptoms, including the characteristic tremor. Also, the troublesome involuntary movements that develop in some patients have been emerging as a function of levodopa consumed cumulatively up to about one year of continuous treatment. It is postulated that levodopa may play a dual role in parkinsonism. It does supply the consumable dopamine lacking in the brain of these patients, but it may also damage the synthesis of certain proteins, possibly those containing methionine, thereby affecting the macromolecular composition of brain tissue. A possible mechanism by which levodopa can function in changing protein synthesis is transmethylation: Siphoning off of labile methyl groups from methionine, the chief methyl source in tissues, is a necessary accompaniment of levodopa therapy. It was proposed that the supply of dopamine to the brain is a necessary but by no means sufficient explanation for the action of levodopa and that the regulation of the transmethylation processes is a more fundamental function of the drug.

Feeding rates were estimated from radionuclide mass balance equations using radiocesium uptake coefficients, equilibrium concentrations of 137Cs in consumers, and 137Cs composition of food bases. The fungivore trophic level included Scatopsidae larvae (Diptera), Enchytraeidae (Annelida), Entomobryidae and Onychiuridae (Collembola), Rhodacaridae (Mesostigmata), and Oribatulidae, Camasiidae, Carabodidae, and Cymbaeremaeidae (Oribatei). Approximately 60 per cent of the total faunal biomass occurred in the fungivore trophic level. Fungivores averaged 7.0 ± 2.4 per cent dry body weight ingested per day. Cecidomyiidae larvae (Diptera), Diplopoda, Isotomidae (Collembola), Uropodina, and Phthiracaridae (Oribatei) were determined to be surface-feeding saprophages. Subsurface-feeding saprophages included Symphyla, Cillibidae (Uropodina), and Palaeacaridae and Epilohmannidae (Oribatei). Surface-feeding saprophages averaged 1.0 ± 0.4 per cent dry body weight ingested per day. Feeding rates were not calculated for saprophages feeding within the mineral soil horizon. Predators included Dolichopodidae larvae (Diptera), gamasine mites, and the Scutacaridae and other prostigmatid mites. Predators averaged 2.5 ± 1.0 per cent dry body weight ingested per day.

This finding agrees with earlier results concerning replication after amino acid starvation in this organism. The results are not compatible with regulation of chromosome replication at the initiation step only, and they suggest that a second regulatory circuit controls replication under conditions of amino acid starvation.

Such mercury may constitute part of the tenuous lunar atmosphere. If mercury can escape from the atmosphere by a nonthermal mechanism, an interior reservoir or exterior sources (such as meteorite infall or solar wind, or both) are required to replenish it. Core samples exhibit an increase in surface-related mercury with depth, which suggests that a cold trap exists below the surface. The orientation of rocks on the lunar surface may be inferred by differences in the amounts of surface-related mercury found on exterior and interior samples.

JO - American Sociological Review JF - American Sociological Review Y1 - 1971/06// VL - 36 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 518 EP - 519 SN - 00031224 AB - The article comments on Pearson r in random number and precise functional scale transformations. In "The Assignment of Numbers to Rank Order Categories," author Sanford Labovitz has shown that high values of the Pearson r are obtained when an interval scale is monotonically matched against random numbers between 1 and 10,000. The Pearson r is a statistic which can be quasi-invariant to incorrect non-linear functional transformations and to the N in such transformations. Labovitz's generation of random numbers between 1 and 10,000 which are monotonically ranked leads to curves where the average departure from some crude linear approximation is small. Since the Pearson r is the correlation statistic most frequently used in sociology, authors have taken some pains to illustrate quantitatively the insensitivity of this statistic both to precise nonlinear scale transformations and to the number of items in such scale transformations. Although it might be argued that the exponential transformation is an extreme transformation, if considered as a member of the class of all monotone transformations, the exponential transformation has many convenient properties.

The authors claim that the use of age relationships in the study of plant populations or communities is limited. They add that to be able to determine the probability of a plant individual surviving to the next year, the species being considered should have a stable age distributions.

The classical relations for stable populations are easily obtained in this model by simple algebraic manipulations. A rough but useful further simplification is to divide the population into three groups-pre-reproductive, reproductive, and post-reproductive. For this three-group model simple algebraic expressions connect fertility, mortality, growth rate and the fractions of the population in each group. Although the relations obtained are not precise, they serve to illustrate simply and directly the interactions among the basic population variables.

Evidence for radiogenic lead-208 unsupported by thorium decay may also be inferred from the existence of a composite polonium halo type with rings from the radioactive precursors of lead-208. Several new dwarf halo sizes, seem to indicate the existence of unknown, very low-energy alpha-emitters. Furthermore, the three-ring "X halo" also provides evidence for an unknown series of genetically related alpha-emitters with energies in the range from 3 to 7 million electron volts.

Mass spectrometric identification reveals that species composed of water vapor and sulfur dioxide molecules clustering about common atmospheric ions are formed under these conditions. The identification of these clusters provides an explanation for the effect of trace gases on the mobilities of ions.

The space group is Pnma, with a = 8.914(10) angstroms, b = 5.945(10) angstroms, and c = 12.83(2) angstroms (the numbers in parentheses are the standard deviations to the least significant digit or digits); the calculated density (?) is 3.354 grams per cubic centimeter, and there are four formula units per unit cell. The material consists of well-separated NO+ and (XeF8)2- ions; the structural formula is thus (NO)2 (XeF8). The anion configuration is that of a slightly distorted Archimedean antiprism. The observed distortion appears incompatible with a lone-pair repulsion model. Xenon-fluorine bond lengths of 1.971(7), 1.946(5), 1.958(7), 2.052(5), and 2.099(5) angstroms were found.

When such repaired cells are subsequently irradiated with 313-nanometer radiation and placed in alkali, breaks appear in the DNA at sites of incorporation of 5- bromodeoxyuridine, inducing a dramatic downward shift in the sedimentation constant of the DNA. Cells from patients with the disease xeroderma pigmentosum, which causes sensitivity to ultraviolet, are incapable or only minimally capable of repair; such cells incorporate little 5-bromodeoxyuridine into their DNA under these conditions and, upon 313-nanometer irradiation and sedimentation in alkali, exhibit only minor shifts in DNA sedimentation constants. When fibroblasts developed from biopsies of normal skin and of skin from patients with xeroderma pigmentosum, as well as cells cultured from midtrimester amniotic fluid, were assayed in this fashion unequivocal differences between normal and xeroderma pigmentosum cells were shown. Xeroderma pigmentosumn heterozygotes are clearly distinguishable from homozygous mutants, and results are available; 12 hours after irradiation.

This is a prototype venture whose purpose is to develop ways of supplying the scientific computing community with highly reliable subroutines. Selected software is tested, first at the three principal institutions and then at field test sites. Routines of proven quality are certified and distributed from the argonne code center. A collaborative testing methodology is emerging from the project. Software selected for testing and distribution includes a collection of routines for calculating certain special functions of mathematical physics and a fortran package of eigensystem routines based on algol originals of wilkinson, j.h., reinsch, c., handbook for automatic computation, volume ii: linear algebra, springerverlag, new york and berlin, 1971.

The concentrations of potassium, thorium, and uranium in the basalts were similar to those in the Apollo 12 basalts, but the potassium: uranium ratios were somewhat higher. Primordial radioelements were enriched in the soils and breccia, consistent with a two-component mixture of mare basalt and up to 20 percent foreign component (KREEP). The abundance patterns for cosmogenic radionuclides implied surface sampling for all specimens. The galactic cosmic-ray production rate of vanadium-48 was determined as 57±11 disintegrations per minute per kilogram of iron.

Because of suggestions that phytochrome action involves changes in membrane, permeability, particularly uptake and efflux in pisum sativum epicotyl sections which were equally de-etiolated yet differed three-fold in their phytochrome contents. Although dependent on the metabolic integrity of cell membranes (as shown by respiratory inhibitors ) the selective uptake of potassium in this tissue is not under phytochrome contents. Experiments were also conducted to see whether a three-fold difference in phytochrome content affects chlorophyll synthesis in Pisum. Differences in chlorophyll synthesis observed can be related to the effectiveness of the pretreatments on eliminating the lag phase, not to their differences in phytochrome; The failure to find any correlation with the amount or state of 'bulk' phytochrome in these and previous experiments indicates that no function of this material is yet known.

In each case, the suppressor restores small amounts of protein that is normal in electrophoretic mobility and heat stability. One of these proteins has been shown to have the wildtype amino acid sequence. The messenger RNA quadruplet CCCỤ appears to be common to all three frameshift sites and to be translated by the suppressor as proline. A likely suppressor agent is a proline transfer RNA with a quadruplet anticodon or its func.ional equivalent.

The material balance of radioactive phosphorus was followed at three times daring the year in periphyton, consumer organisms, and stream water rot up to six weeks following a one-hr release of 32PO4 to the stream. Rates of decrease of 32P in periphyton per unit weight, per unit area of substrate, and in the entire study reach of stream were used to compute biomass turnover rates of periphyton and fractions of periphyton standing crop grazed per unit area per unit time. Periphyton standing crops in July, September. and November were estimated at 200, 198, and 658 mg ash-free dry weight m-2, respectively, while estimates of net production rates were 22, 24, and 16 mg ash-free dry weight m-2 daym-1, respectively. Estimated grazing rates on periphyton during these periods were 23, 15, and 14 mg ash-tree dry wt m-2 day-1, respectively. Biomass turnover rates of periphyton were in the range of those computed from other stream ecosystems which had higher standing crops and production rates of periphyton. This suggests that grazing limited periphyton production rates in this stream by controlling the standing crop of periphyton. The method is of wide applicability since less than maximum pert missible concentrations of radioactive phosphorus were used in the spike releases.

The dose-effect relation for neutrons indicates a linear dependence from 0.01 to 8 rads; between 0.25 and S rads a linear dependence is indicated for x-rays also. As a consequence he relative biological effectiveness reaches a constant value (about 50) at low doses. The observations are in good agreement with the predictions of the theory of dual radiation action and support its interpretation of the effects of radiation on higher organisms. The doubling dose of x-rays was found to be nearly I rad.

A chart listing dosages given to each patient is included. From results of the study, it was shown that melatonin induced few isolated but definite episodes of cutaneous flushing, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, scotoma lucidum, and headaches typical of migraine. Melatonin did not affect the signs of parkinsonism, the antiparkinson effects of levodopa, or the levodopa-dependent adventitious movements. The nightly administration of melatonin to 5 outpatients (300 to 1,000 mg. for one to 4 weeks) did not change their clinical status while it facilitated sleep in some. It was suggested that because of its metabolic effects, melatonin should be tried in the therapy of manic and depressed patients, particularly since it contrasts to major tranquilizers by not posing the risk of pharmacological parkinsonism.

Catostomus clarkii hemoglobins have some components (20 percent) whose oxygen equilibria are independent of pH because the alpha chains have NH2-termini that are blocked and the beta chains lack the "usual" COOH-terminal histidine. Since the Bohr effect is normally a beneficial phenomenon, the maintenance of some hemoglobins without a Bohr effect must provide a physiological advantage that is habitat specific. The intrastream ecological preferences of these sympatric catostomids suggest that the hemoglobins without the Bohr effect confer an ecological advantage in a swift water habitat [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Science is the property of American Association for the Advancement of Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The meeting aims to discuss statistical methods of analyzing the problem of competing risks of mammals and to clarify implications of the analyses for experimental design and methods of data collection. Among the attendees of the meeting were D. Grahn, G. A. Sacher, M. Goldman, and D. G. Kaufman. In the opening discussion, the chairman pointed out that very few investigators make the needed corrections despite the fact that competition between risks on mortality seriously influences estimates of lifetime incidence of diseases.

Results were obtained using untreated and trypsinized syngeneic red blood cells (RBC) to detect anti-RBC autoantibodies in the plasma of aged mice. The occurrence of these autoantibodies in mice appears to be independent of strain, average life-span, and rearing conditions and their appearance in mice free of obvious autoimmune diseases suggests that they are not associated exclusively with such diseases. However, the frequency of mice with autoantibodies increases with advancing age and tends to be higher in females. These autoantibodies are distinct from natural heteroantibodies, but they are reactive against RBC from other mouse strains. Their activity is temperature sensitive, to the extent that they are more reactive at 22°C than at 37°C. Their striking affinity for trypsinized RBC suggests that their activity may be against inaccessible, nonpeptidic determinants, most likely of carbohydrate moiety. The autoantibodies are primarily IgM immunoglobulins, and in some cases they can be IgA immunoglobulins. RBC from young and old mice show the same immunogenic potential, so changes in the RBC due to somatic variations are unlikely to be the cause for their origin. The possible origin and significance of these autoantibodies are discussed in the light of current evidence.

A system for beam transport and subject alignment delivered individual nitrogen nuclei onto a spot 3 millimeters in diameter on the retina at a visual angle of 7 degrees on the temporal side of the fovea. The beam particles entered the retina within 25 degrees of normal and induced visual sensations that had the appearance of streaks for three out of four subjects.

Survival required slow cooling (0.3° to 2°C per minute) and slow warming (4° to 25°C per minute). Depending on the specific rates used, 50 to 70 percent of more than 2500 frozen and thawed early embryos developed into blastocysts in culture after storage at -196°C for up to 8 days. When approximately 1000 of the survivors, including some frozen to -269°C (4° K), were transferred into foster mothers, 65 percent of the recipients became pregnant. More than 40 percent of the embryos in these pregnant mice gave rise to normal, living full-term fetuses or newborn mice.

Human cells were also fused with permissive mouse cells, and the fate of the virus in heterokaryonis was determined by a simtlultaneous autoradiography and fluorescent antibody technique. Heterokaryons containing the full chromsome complement of both cells were likewise nonpermissive for virus synthesis but hybrids of human and mouse cells, which lacked up to half of the human chromsome comnplement, were permnissive for viruis synthesis. The results suggest that human cell genes can direct a repressiv, e control over mouse leukemia virus replication.

Among the things included in the paper are the types of people who take the course, a description of the course itself, and a discussion of how the classes are conducted. The course covers the nature of written communications, sentence deficiencies, grammer, semantics, syntax, economy in writing, modifiers, parallelism, linkage, logic and style. The course is designed to be job-oriented by devoting classroom time to discussing reports the students have written as part of their laboratory responsibilities. To help develop the students' ability to analze writing, each student takes a turn at leading the discussion of the writing done by another student.

Ntis: Ornl-4837; Hc $3.00, Mf $0.95 Y1 - 1973/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - The oak ridge national laboratory (ornl) integrated computer programs for journal control have been extensively revised so that all journal ordering for ornl, y-12, and orgdp is handled through this system. This series of programs provide: 1) management information in the form of cost, subscriber, and title statistics; 2) seven copy purchase requisitions; o) claim letters to vendors relating to missing issues, 2n addition, computer check-in, notification of binding, and recording of journal arrival is provided for the central research library. This report is divided into four sections. Section 1 describes the title and vendor backup files. Section 2 relates to the control of ordering, statistics, claiming, and preparation of purchase orders. Section 3 discusses the checking in, binding, listing of arrivals, and handling of subscription stoppages. Section 4 is concerned with programs which provide a union list and autority file of all journals in the knoxville-oak ridge area. The apppendix contains flow charts of the programs in the system. Seven year's experience with computer handling of journals has proved that there is nothing static about the computer system or the periodicals. All the ornl journal system programs need constant maintenence and ungrading as new computer systems releases are used at ornl. Modular programming allows revisions of the program as system requirements and library user needs change. All our programs run in less than 30 sec, and consequently computer costs are quite low. The preparing and handling of input for approximately 6000 journal orders representing 3300 active titles is onerous and perhaps in the future an on-line method of supplying input on the computer may lessen the present input load.

A basic premise is that environmental systems may be simulated with mathematical equations utilizing the same assumptions about underlying properties that permit the use of similar equations in engineering. Systems analysis techniques are used in many fields of science and engineering where the dynamic response of a system is of interest. Ecologists have long recognized that nutrient elements cycle and energy flows in the environment from one trophic level to another, but only recently have they learned to apply the well-developed mathematical techniques of systems engineering to ecological problems. This paper discusses feasibility and techniques, with examples of applications of systems analysis to the modeling of a forested ecosystem, emphasizing the role of earthworms in organic matter decomposition and the contribution of this process to carbon flow in the ecosystem.

The arithmetic systems studied are 6-digit hexadecimal and 22-digit binary floating point number representations combined with the usual chop and round modes of arithmetic with various numbers of guard digits, and with a modified round mode with guard digits. In a certain sense, arithmetic systems differing only in their use of binary or hexadecimal number representations are shown to be approximately statistically equivalent in accuracy. Further, the usual round mode with guard digits is shown to be statistically superior in accuracy to the usual chop mode in all cases save one. The modified round mode is found to be superior to the chop mode in all cases.

Conversion devices include keypunch, optical character readers, terminals, and typewriters that produce machine-readable output. Terminals connected to a minicomputer with editing and disc storage offer many advantages for large volume operations. Input may require transcription to keypunching worksheets, unless library personnel familiar with the material perform the input operation. Training may be required for the input equipment; programming and system analyst courses are also desirable. On the job training is often extensive for a conversion. Decisions must be made concerning which files will be available on-line or batch. Scheduling computer operations is essential to good library operations.

Encapsutlated [14C]EDTA, given intravenously to mice, was retained longer in tissues that nonencapsulated [14C]EDTA. Encapsulated DTPA, given to mice 3 days after pluttonium injection, removed an additional fraction of plutonium in the liver, presumably intracellular, not available to nonencapslulated DTPA. It also further increased urinary excretion of plutonium. Introduction of chelating agents into cells by liposomal encapsulation is a promising new approach to the treatment of metal poisoning.

Based on the principle of the cloud chamber, the instrument measures transient changes in the attenuation and scattering of a monochromatic light beam by the growing fog droplets. From data obtained the absolute number concentration and radii of condensation nuclei can be calculated. Preliminary studies of aerosol formation in beta-irradiated mixtures of air and sulfur dioxide showed that carbon monoxide and methane inhibit the formation of nuclei; relative rate constants can be deduced. Some applications of this instrument for environmental and basic research are pointed out.

Mutants of Nicotiana tabacum were recovered which were resistant to methionine sul/oximine, an analog structurally similar to methionine. Induction of chlorosis was prevented or less evident in mutant plants that were inoculated with Pseudomonas tabaci, a bacterial pathogen which produces a toxin that is a structural analog of methionine. Several mutants show a specific increase in the level of free methionine.

Male and female C3H mice, housed 1/cage or 5/cage, were fed a control diet or one containing 0.05% phenobarbital. After 12 months the mice were examined for spontaneous liver tumors. In mice fed the control diet, tumor incidence was higher in males than in females, and higher in mice housed 1/cage than in those housed 5/cage. Phenobarbital in the diet increased the incidence of liver tumors, irrespective of population density or sex, but did not decrease the degree of differentiation of the tumors.

The maximum likelihood estimates are shown to be equivalent to those obtained by minimization of a quadratic form which reduces to a modified chi square under the Poisson assumption. Computationally, both of these estimation procedures are equivalent to a properly weighted least squares analysis. Approximate tests of the assumed Poisson variation and "goodness of fit" of the data to the model are proposed. Applications of the estimation procedure to linear and nonlinear regression models are discussed, and numerical examples are presented.

T1 - Kinetics of Macrophages and Reticuloendothelial Cells in Mouse Lymph Nodes during Secondary Antibody Responses to Tetanus Toxoid. JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1974/01// VL - 26 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 36 SN - 00192805 AB - The proliferative activity and rate of cell renewal of, and incorporation of tritiated nucleosides into, macrophages, reticuloendothelial cells and fibroblasts were studied in lymph nodes of mice before and after a regional second antigenic stimulus with tetanus toxoid. Histological and autoradiographic examinations revealed that in non-stimulated nodes of animals primed 6 months previously, none of the above cell-types was found to synthesize DNA. Throughout a period of 10 days following secondary antigenic stimulation via the hind leg foot pads, only four of approximately five thousand of these cells counted in the popliteal lymph nodes of thirty-four mice were labelled initially by [³H]thymidine. Incorporation of [³H]cytidine could, therefore, be interpreted as reflecting almost exclusively RNA synthesis. Mean grain counts of non-proliferating cells 1 hour after injection of this radioactive precursor started to rise first in small lymphocytes, reached a peak around 6 hours following the booster injection of antigen and returned to slightly elevated values at 12 hours. At this time, the mean labelling intensity of macrophages, reticuloendothelial cells and fibroblasts had barely begun to increase. Peak values for the latter cell-types were attained only on the third day after secondary antigenic stimulation. These findings are interpreted as indicating consecutive waves of enhanced RNA synthesis first in lymphocytes and then in macrophages or the other elements mentioned above. This lends further support to the hypothesis that, following a second injection of tetanus toxoid, elevated rates of RNA synthesis in macrophages are not a prerequisite for triggering lymphocytes to enter proliferation and differentiation. Macrophages having ingested various materials showed significantly higher mean grain counts than cells not containing cytoplasmic inclusions. One early response of the macrophage system to the booster injection of antigen consisted of a more rapid and increased turnover, i.e. replacement of unlabelled by labelled cells with increasing time after injection of [³H]thymidine. The results are discussed in relation to macrophage functions in immune responses and possible cellular transformations in the macrophage series.

The apparatus incorporates an infrared gas analyzer with open air flow through 10 chambers which sequentially lower over the forest floor during measurements and raise after measurements are complete. Unlike methods using stationary chambers, this system allows litter and soil horizons to undergo a natural drying cycle. Litter moisture under stationary chambers was 76% of dry weight at the end of a 3-day sample period as compared to 40% under moving chambers and 39% in control plots. Carbon dioxide evolution rates from plots enclosed by stationary chambers ranged from 54 to 90% higher than those from moving chamber plots. Effects of such discrepancies in calculating the carbon balance of forest ecosystems are discussed. Application of the moving chamber apparatus in monitoring gaseous losses from biodegradable waste such as by-products of petroleum is also discussed.

Asbestos bodies are present in the lungs of many urban dwellers who do not work with the mineral. Heavy occupational exposure to asbestos is known to cause asbestosis, pleural calcification, pleural plaques, lung cancer, and pleural and peritoneal mesotheliomas. The ingestion of asbestos fibers may increase the risk of gastrointestinal tract cancer. At the present time, little is known about the hazards of chronic low-level exposure to asbestos. However, the use of asbestos fibers should be curtailed whenever possible, more pathogenicity data should be collected and evaluated, and the health risk to the general public should be reassessed and updated with progressing research..

During the past two decades, energy use in the U.S. has doubled. About 40 per cent of this growth can be attributed directly to population growth, with the other 60 per cent accounted for by affluence. Industry accounts for about 40 per cent of the energy budget, transportation for 25 per cent, homes for 20 per cent, and commerce for 15 percent. Growth in per-capita transportation accounted for more than half the decade's energy growth. Per capita transportation growth is, in turn, determined by income and demographic changes and by changes in the quality and prices of transportation services. Since the automobile consumes a larger share of the transportation energy budget than all other modes combined, energy efficiency improvements are crucial to a transportation energy conservation policy.

The study of pH and ionic effects indicates that these separations occur by anion repulsion, not by cation exchange. Cation exchange, previously held responsible for these separations, is inoperative since nucleotides at acid pH values bear net negative charges, as do the fixed anions of the resin. The separations can be explained by anion-exclusion chromatography, which involves two factors: repulsion between identically charged solute and resin ions, and partition between aqueous eluant and organic resin matrix. The results indicate that separations by anion exclusion areas good as or better than those by anion-exchange chromatography. Anion-exchange chromatography has also been reinvestigated to develop systems that can be used to separate the four major nucleotides in single eluants and to separate most nucleosides, nucleotides and other RNA hydrolysis products in one analysis. The ion-exclusion separations are compared with those of anion-exchange chromatography. The advantages and disadvantages of beth methods are discussed. A typical example of the analysis of a nucleoside-nueleotide mixture derived from the total hydrolysis of tRNAs for the assay of the base comparison and for the analysis of terminal end groups is described.

This meteorologic input is sufficient to compensate for the lack of certain nutrients in the highly weathered sandy soils. In other ecosystems these nutrients are generally supplied by weathering of soil particles. The compensatory effect of meteorologic input allows for primary production rates in the Sunken Forest similar to those of inland temperate forests.

S. 1970 Census of Population was used to contruct via computer five nationwide geographical grids of population density with sector dimensions of 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.1, and 0.25 degrees of latitude and longitude. The entire population of a district was assigned to a grid sector if the coordinates of the district centroid fell within the boundaries of the sector. The sectors were then rank-ordered according to population density, and listings were made of sector population, population density, geographical location, cumulative population, area of sector, and cumulative area. The five sets of data were synthesized into single equations describing population as a function of density in one case and of area in another. From these data it was found, for example, that about 800,000 people live in 19 sectors of 0.01-degree dimensions with a population density of 100,000 people per square mile or greater (nearly all in Manhattan); about 10 million live in 183 sectors of 0.02-degree dimensions with a population density of 23,000 per square mile or greater; and about half of the total U. S. population, that is, about 100 million people, reside within about 0.6 percent of the area of the United States, that is, within 20,000 square miles. Four representative displays of population density are shown for the Northeast Corridor, including isometric views and a contour map.

A test of this hypothesis, made by measuring the valence band x-ray photoelectron spectrum of tungsten carbide and comparing it with the spectra of tungsten and platinum, shows that, near the Fermi level, the electronic density of states of tungsten carbide more nearly resembles that of platinum than that of tungsten.

The sum of type (i) and (ii) are "direct" costs; while (iii) is an "indirect" cost. An input-output model is developed which permits inclusion of both direct and indirect costs in the measure of pollution control costs. It is demonstrated that, when there is at least one firm in the community described by the model required to control its pollution, the prices of all consumer goods will be higher after the imposition of controls than before; and the increase in price will be at least as great as the direct costs of pollution control in the production of each good. If each industry can independently minimize its direct cost of pollution control, then the indirect costs will also be minimized. When shortages of clean fuels are considered, firms and industries cannot all control their emissions optimally. In this case, overall minimization of the direct costs of control will not generally result in minimization of the indirect costs as well. However, a particular kind of weighting of industry by industry direct control costs is developed, such that minimization of this weighted sum results in minimization of indirect costs as well.

X-ray diffraction data of high precision and resolution have been analyzed to yield oxygen atom pair correlation functions. The positional correlation in amorphous solid water extends over only a few molecular radii, and the radial distribution of near-neighbor oxygen atoms in amorphous solid water is qualitatively different from that found in the low-pressure ice modifications. Amorphous solid water is a useful material for liquid water models because it can be studied under conditions such that the effects of static disorder and thermal excitation can be separated.

It enhanced chorea and mental agitation and, thus, failed to conform with the postulated pharmacological reciprocity between Parkinson's disease and Huntington's chorea. These findings are in agreement with experiments done in animals in which phenytoin blocked a neuronal response to dopamine.

Among 8 patients, differing in symptomatic control, neurologic scores (normal 0, maximal 100) on 2 g of protein/kg were, at 8 a.m., 27.8 21.1 (mean S.E.M.) and at 3 p.m., 46.7 2.6 ( \LT/ 0.001). On 10 g of protein/day scores were 24.6 2.1 at 8 a.m. and 24.1 2.7 at 3 p.m. In 7 patients maintained on 0.5 g of protein kg/day for 2 months to one year, levodopa requirements diminished progressively. Measurement of growth hormone in 5 patients off levodopa showed low constant levels without the normal fluctuations. Near normal patterns were found in 6 patients on levodopa, but tended to flatten out in 6 patients also taking a high protein diet. Although growth hormone affects calcium metabolism, hormone levels and total body calcium showed no correlation in 15 patients taking levodopa. These findings suggest that a low protein diet benefits patients with Parkinson's disease and with moderate neurologic instability.

Biologically, the distribution of the thallous ion is primarily intracellular and has been shown to be similar to that of the potassium ion in its concentration in the heart. The greatest concentration of this nuclide was in the kidney, heart, and liver. Maximum heart and kidney concentration was achieved in 10 min with the myocardium concentration about 3.7% of the injected dose at 10-25 min. This nuclide might be a suitable agent for myocardial imaging.

According to the author, the degree of danger in any specific scientific development most often relies on highly specific matters usually requiring prediction which are very difficult to make in the present state of science. He admits that scientists really need more sophisticated evaluation of the latest technologies before introducing it to the public but critics of science and its application should also learn to present their arguments with little more rationality. He further added that the argument that science by its very nature is inhuman and will only make life unlivable is nothing but ignorant nonsense.

There was about a 4-fold decline with age, of which about 2-fold could be accounted for by the decrease in relative numbers of immunocompetent precursor cell unites. The terminally differentiated progeny cells of antigen-stimulated precursor cells of young mice. Thus, it would appear that a decrease in the prolifer-ative and transforming capacities of antigen-stimulated precursor cells of old mice can account for the other 2-fold decline with age in the cytolytic activity. Cytolytic activity may not be the limiting function in resistance to tumour formation. This was indicated by the observation that resistance to allogeneic tumour cell challenge declines with age by as much as 500-fold in mice, showing only a 4-fold decline in their cytolytic activity.

One of the goals of the analysis of ecosystems in the IBP has been to obtain evidence to test these properties and to discover whether more sophisticated properties of these systems can be assessed. The analysis of ecosystems is a study of the metabolism of ecosystems, the structural characteristics and dynamic properties which govern the flow of energy and the cycling of elements in the biosphere. A unique contribution of the IBP programs is the documentation of data in information centers, which will be available to the ecologists for some of the environmental challenges of the 1970's in the area of technological assessment.

When the drugs are applied immediately before or during the early active phases of the circadian cycle, the rhythm is set back (phase delay). When applied later, past the thermal peak, theophylline, but not pentobarbital, shifts the rhythm ahead (phase advance). Theophylline and pentobarbital in addition to having a number of already established pharmacological properties are now further identified as chronobiotics: they are drugs that may be used to alter the biological time structure by rephasing a circadian rhythm.

Techniques are given for preventing phenol losses caused by chlorination, oxidation, and other reactions during their determination. Common inorganic ions and many organic substances cause no interference; neutral organics that are retained by the resin can be removed by a methanol wash.

This report describes observations of electron transfer between aromatic molecules in a rigid matrix, in which electrons apparently tunnel through tens of angstroms of inert solvent. The kinetics tend to confirm the tunneling process, which is likely to be an important means of electron transfer when diffusion is blocked by steric factors or immobilization of the reactants.

Steadily, man evolved from the lesser forms of life because of or in spite of his natural background-radiation environment. This study is an attempt to determine to what extent these background radiations are responsible for human disease, namely leukemia. Dose rate data were compared with data on all forms of leukemia in the 50 United States for four population subgroups. For the total U.S., no relation between background radiation and leukemia is apparent. A positive correlation appears, however, if various states are deleted from the analysis. It appears that conditions relative to populations and their environment could mask a radiation effect if in fact one is present.

And vantage point, general industry-wide trends and likely achievements. Then, an effort is made to cover in more detail specific areas of interest to the erdaa (energy research and development agency) community. Subjects discussed include available large-scale computers-their architecture and viability. The microprocessor's impact on computer systems in considered, and potential applications of the microcomputer are identified. Then mass storage offerings and their role in perdicted memory hierarchies are assessed; progress in the development of alternate storage technologies is reviewed. New products and anticipated innovations in peripheral and input-output equipment, probably the most lethargic segment of the dynamic hardware market, are described, and a survey of networks and communications activity examines future directions this rapidly-expanding field might be expected to follow. Whenever possible in each of these areas, examples with descriptive characteristics, accompanied by cost and performance statistics, are presented in support of the initially-forecast broad technological trends.

American Society For Information Science, Wa Y1 - 1976/// M3 - Book AB - The topic of this presentation is a computer-based system for the identification of duplicate citations within large bibliographic data files. The discussion will focus on an experiment that has been a joint project of the toxicology information program of the national library of medicine (nlm) and the computer sciences information group at union carbide's installation in oak ridge. The involvement of both organizations stems from a common concern over the extent of duplication within their respective outline retrieval systems, nlm's toxline and erda's recon. The computer programs have been tested on five of nlm's toxline files with encouraging results. The technique is based on the generation of a 'dupcheck' key or code consisting of characters selected from significant elements of the document description - author, title, journal title or coden, volume, page, and year. Factors which complicate the data extraction procedure such as inconsistencies in style or format and discrepancies in spelling, punctuation, and translation are discusses; methods for circumventing obstacles of this type are described. The second step of the procedure, the 'dupchecking' routine, is simply the manipulation and comparison of keys generated in the first step. Keys are sorted and relative weight values are assigned to each element within the key. As keys are compared, weights for matching elements are summed and tested against a threshold value which defines the minimum requirements for a duplicate situation. Several threshold values may be specified to produce separate files for absolute duplicates, probable duplicates, or similar records if the criteria for duplication can be rigidly defined, this automatic system can identify redundant occurrences with a high degree of accuracy.

Results indicated that net photosynthesis (0.5 to 2.0 mg C/g dry weight/h) saturated rapidly at light intensities (0.1 to 0.2 g cal/cm/min) which were approximately 10 to 50% of the daily summer maximum intensities for algae found under phanerogam ( Spartina alterniflora) canopies. Desiccation exhibited the most pronounced effect on photosynthesis, which increases slightly between 0 and 25% water loss, levels off, and decreases sharply at water losses greater than 50%. Dark respiration (0.1 to 0.3 mg C/g dry weight/h) is also inhibited by desiccation. Both species of algae appear to be broadly adapted to all three parameters investigated.

The structures of highly deuterated I, in which at least 13 of 15 nonexchangeable hydrogens were replaced by deuterium, and fully deuterated I, in which all 15 nonexchangeable sites contained deuterium, were established by NMR and mass spectrometry. The aromatic protons (C-5 and C-8) were partially substituted in the highly deuterated molecule. Information regarding 3 areas of the biosynthetic pathway within the microorganism was obtained as a result of the formation due to passage of sugar through the transaldolase-transketolase pathway, occurs during formation of the ribityl chain. Limited solvent participation takes place during formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine, the immediate precursor of I. Deuteration of the I C-6 and C-7 methyl groups indicates significant solvent exchange during the final step of the biosynthetic process.

Apomorphine was started in 14 patients at 10 mg 3 times/day, increased every other day to 10 mg 6 times/day, and then further increased by 10 mg 3 times/day until suspected toxicity, full control of symptoms, or dosage of 1500 mg/day was reached; then, placebo was replaced by N-propylnoraporphine, started in 10 patients at 2.5 mg 3 times/day and similarly increased every second day to the same end points or 500 mg/day. Apomorphine caused azotemia, which was circumvented by switching to N-propylnoraporphine whose nephrotoxic dose (80 mg 6 times/day) was larger than its therapeutic dose (10 to 15 mg 6 times/day). Slowly increasing doses induced significant improvement (P \LT/ 0.005) in all 24 patients studied, transitory mental aberrations in 7, and release of growth hormone in 3 patients tested. In patients previously on prolonged levodopa administration, the dyskinesia and ""on-off'' phenomenon were almost identical with N-propylnoraporphine, but both drawbacks were reduced or abolished in 6 patients by coadministration of \a/-methyldopa-hydrazine plus levodopa. This coadministration seemed to abolish tachyphylaxis. It was concluded that N-propylnoraporphine is very useful in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

The hydrogen gas is compressed by an absorption-desorption cycle on metal hydride (FeTiHx) beds. Low-temperature solar or geothermal heat (temperature about 100°C) is used for the compression process, and high-temperature fossil fuel or nuclear heat (temperature about 700°C) supplies the expansion work in the turbine. Typically, about 90 percent of the high-temperature heat input is converted to electricity, while about 3 kilowatts of low-temperature heat is required per kilowatt of electrical output.

Upon infection at the nonpermissive temperature, both the revertant and the Hfr strain support normal. phage replication while the temperature-sensitive mutant does not. However, when infection is carried out at a permissive temperature and the temperature is shifted up after infection, phage synthesis occurs in the temperature-sensitive mutant also, but in lesser quantity than in the revertant strain. Analysis of intracellular labeled phage DNA indicates.: (a) parental replicative form DNA synthesis is not dependent on DNA function; (b) progeny replicative form DNA synthesis is strongly inhibited in the temperature-sensitive dnaA mutant at the nonpermissive temperature; (c) progeny single-strand DNA synthesis does not absolutely require dnaA function; (d) progeny single-strand DNA is present in the circular form. The implication of the host DNA replication in M 13 DNA synthesis is discussed.

The explicit concern of most of the sponsors of this legislation is the severe environmental degradation that has occurred as a result of surface mining in Appalachia. The primary purpose of this article is to analyze the regional economic impact of back-to-contour surface mining regulations on the dominant coal market (the use of "steam-electric" coal by electric utilities) and its coal suppliers. Analysis is accomplished by means of a nonlinear regional programming model of the steam-electric coal market developed to provide quantitative information concerning alternative energy-environmental policy combinations. The effects of alternative policies such as reclamation standards cannot he reduced to a single dimension. A second purpose of the analysis is to consider the effects of the surface mining regulations on the regional competitive position of underground mining.

SN - 00280038 AB - The article focuses on the status of nuclear weapons technology and policies in the U.S. and the Soviet Union in September 1976. The Soviets had been exerting their efforts to further strengthen their military power. They believed that if their civil defense plans were executed, the whole U.S. striking force would not be able to destroy more than a small fraction of the population of the Soviet Union. American engineers had been doing their part as well by studying the effects of nuclear weapons. However, the Soviets had surpassed the Americans in designing effective countermeasures.

Itsphenology and production capacity closely adapt the species to this temporal niche in northern deciduous forests. While E. americanum has a minor effect on energy flow, it may reduce losses of potassium and nitrogen from the ecosystem during the period of maximum removal by incorporating these elements in accumulating biomass. Later, during the summer, these nutrients are made available when the above- ground, nonperennating tissues decay.

One emphasis was on the economic and marketing organization of the information industry. Three types of models were discussed: 1) information as a commodity, 2) information as a public good, 3) information as a regulated industry. Also discussed were: historical analysis of sti as a regulated utility, the pros and cons of government involvement in the information industry, experiences in the 'information for sale' business, the 'information explosion', and the lack of national policy in information.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1976/12// VL - 31 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 903 EP - 911 SN - 00192805 AB - Spleen cells from young (3-5 months) and old (22-27 months) mice were assessed in cultures, both in vivo and in vitro, for their antisheep RBC response separately and in mixtures. Pooled young spleens, pooled old spleens, and individual old spleens were analysed. The response of pure young spleen cells was always higher than that of pure old spleen cells (∼30 times). The responses of mixtures were either less than (i.e. reduced; frequency ∼65 per cent), comparable to (i.e. additive; frequency ∼10 per cent), or greater than (i.e. elevated; frequency ∼30 per cent) the sum of the responses given by equivalent numbers of pure young and pure old spleen cells. The reduced response was observed in mixtures containing cells from histologically normal old spleens, old spleens with tumours and old spleens with atrophic follicles. Additive and elevated responses were observed only in mixtures containing cells from histologically normal old spleens. The reduced response is explicable in terms of excessive numbers of suppressor cells in old spleens that can prevent young immunocompetent cells from responding maximally to the test antigen. The additive response can be accounted for by a reduction in number of immunocompetent cells in old spleens and/or a decrease in their functional efficiency. The elevated response can be explained by a reduction in number of at least one type of immunocompetent cell in old spleens that exists in excess in young spleens. These results indicate that there are several types of cellular changes responsible for the decrease in humoral immune activity in old mice. Pooling of old spleens, as was commonly done in the past, should therefore be discouraged. Not only might it selectively favour the expression of old spleens with an excess of supressor cells but it conceivably could result in an elevated response.

Knowled Y1 - 1977/// M3 - Book AB - The argonne code center serves as a software exchange and information center for the us energy research and development administration (erda) and the nuclear regulatory commission (nrc). The goal of the center's program is to provide a means for sharing of software among agency offices and contractors, and for transfering computing applications and technology, developed within the agencies, to the information-processing community. A major activity of the code center is the acquisition, review, testing, and maintenance of a collection of software-computer systems, applications programs, subroutines, modules, and data compilations-prepared by agency offices and contractors to meet erda and nrc programmatic needs. Each member was developed to model a physical situation, solve a specific problem or perform an information-processing function in a prescribed computer environment. Copies of the software together with supporting material are disseminated as an information center product, so that others, attempting to model similar situations or faced with related problems or like tasks, can uitlize the existing software. Before addressing the express concerns assigned the panel, a brief review of the history of computer program libraries and software sharing is presented to place the code center activity in perspective. The state-of-the-art discussion starts off with an appropriate definition of the term, software package, together with descriptions of recommended package contents and the center's package evaluation activity. An effort is made to identify the various users of the product, to enumerate their individual needs, to document the center's efforts to meet these needs and the ongoing interaction with the user community. Desirable staff qualifications are considered and packaging problems reviewed. The paper closes with a brief look at recent developments and a forecast of things to come.

JO - Water, Air & Soil Pollution JF - Water, Air & Soil Pollution Y1 - 1977/02// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 261 EP - 269 SN - 00496979 AB - The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is conducting the Modular Integrated Utility System (MIUS) Program devoted to development and demonstration of the technical, economic, and institutional advantages of integrating the systems for providing all or several of the utility services for a community. Possible utility services include the provision of electric power, domestic heating and cooling, potable water, fire protection water, liquid waste treatment, and solid waste management. The objective of the MIUS concept is to provide the desired utility services in a way that is consistent with reduction in the use of critical natural resources, protection of the environment, and minimization of cost. A MIUS might be sized to accommodate several hundred or a few thousand multifamily dwelling units, nearby single-family housing, and associated commercial facilities. The MIUS is modular in that it can be installed near appropriate users in phase with the actual demands of community development or redevelopment. It uses an integrated systems approach whereby some resource requirements of one service are met by utilizing the effluent of another. For example, heat rejected from electrical generation might be used for residential space heating, and the efflluent from liquid waste treatment might be used for fire protection and/or cooling tower water. This paper summarizes the MIUS concept and the type and extent of potential application. Possible interactions between MIUS and the local community are identified from a comparison of technological and physical characteristics of MIUS with alternative conventional utilities. Possible impacts on land use and patterns of community development are emphasized.

The time series is assumed to be modeled as a time varying mean with additive noise. The mean of the time series is assumed to be a linear combination of known functions. The coefficients appearing in the linear combination are unknown. Under such assumptions, the time series can be described as a linear system with the state vector of the system being the unknown parameters and present value of the mean of the process. The Kalman Filter can be used under these circumstances to obtain an "optimal" estimate of the state vector. One of the distinct advantages of the Kalman Filter is that time varying coefficients can be permitted in the model. Examples using the Kalman Filter in forecasting are presented.

Within 24 hr of the first exposure to NO2, the response was characterized by a marked increase in [3H]thymidine labeling in the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveolar ducts, but not in the trachea or the peripheral alveoli. If, after the first NO2 exposure, subsequent exposures were repeated daily, no further stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed in any part of the respiratory tract. However, if the interval between the first and subsequent exposures was 2–3 days rather than 1 day, stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed in the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveolar ducts for up to 21 NO2 exposures. A significantly greater increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed when the interval between subsequent exposures was extended to 7 days. However, no repeated exposure, whether at 2–3 or 7 day intervals, was as effective as the first NO2 exposure in stimulating incorporation of [3H]thymidine.

Sjoquist, regarding the usefulness of trend surface analysis (TSA) in estimating population density patterns, published in the 1976 issue of Land Economics. The objective of this paper is to compensate for the short shrift given by Schroeder and Sjoquist (S-S) to the theoretical justification and empirical implementation of the trend surface analysis technique and to point out several shortcomings exhibited in the S-S application of TSA. The geometric interpretation of the surface is briefly considered. The TSA model is shown not to represent, as is commonly believed, a special case of the linear least squares model, but a general form containing models linear in variables and interaction models as special cases. Two criteria which can be used in the selection of the degree of the polynomial equation are presented. Obviously the S-S article has barely scratched the surface of some of the subtleties and subtopics in TSA. Those interested in applying the technique should go to the original TSA sources. The primary motivation for this addendum to the S-S paper is that TSA will find a place in the arsenal of empirical techniques used by researchers to analyze spatial data.

Comparison of elemental ratios in rain to those in local soils indicates that Cu, Hg, and Pb are enriched with respect to soil by a factor of 30 to 170 and must have a non-soil source. Due to inherent problems encountered in determining elemental deposition velocities, elemental input by dry deposition was calculated using literature value upper and lower limits. If the higher deposition velocities are chosen, dry deposition could constitute from 62 to 96% of the total input for selected elements to the watershed. Enrichment factor and chemical mass balance calculations have been applied to aerosol data in an attempt to distinguish between atmospheric particulates derived from soil, automobiles, and three nearby coal-fired steam plants. Elemental deposition by wet and dry fallout has also been calculated using published deposition velocities. Mass balance calculations indicate that no more than 5% of the total aerosol load can be attributed to the three coal-fired steam plants. The steam plants can, however, account for up to 20% of individual elements collected in air above the watershed.

This technique is uniquely suited for compounds labile to air and light and for resolving positional isomers of phenolic or other types of oxygenated metabolites of this carcinogen. This procedure has been utilized to separate and compare benzo[a]pyrene activation and detoxification products between rat, mouse, and hamster hepatic microsomes and mouse and hamster embryo cell cultures. While metabolite profiles exhibited the same types of derivatives, marked quantitative variation was observed. Microsomal preparation produced large amounts of noncarcinogenic phenols, while intact cell metabolism favored diol formation. These results are in agreement with reactivation of metabolic diols as substrates for further activation to a more proximate carcinogenic species of benzo[a]pyrene and caution against extrapolating metabolic results from any single test system to other species or tissues.

The difference is attributed to the 204Pb2+ daughter element produced by β- emission. A theoretical model accounts satisfactorily for the discrepancy and indicates that internal sources of cation vacancies are effective in maintaining electroneutrality at all but low temperatures.

We believe that recent advances in ecosystem analysis permit the identification of monitoring points that reflect changes in the total system. Focusing on mechanisms of ecosystem homeostasis, we suggest soil nutrient loss as a sensitive, holistic measure of ecological effects. In three separate studies, attempts were made to detect the effects of toxic substances by monitoring relevant population parameters. In each case, disturbance could be detected in nutrient cycling, but no significant change was evident in the population/community parameters. These results indicate that indices of total ecosystem function may be feasible.

Aqueous efflux of Ca and NO-N were tested as sensitive indicators of chemical stress on soil. Nutrient efflux from forest soil cores was increased at the highest As level (100 μg As cm), while population parameters (i.e., microbial biomass and enzyme concentrations) were unaffected. These results indicate that nutrient efflux is more sensitive to chemical stress than population parameters. Nutrient losses from soils may be used as an early-warning device for assessing contaminants potentially toxic to terrestrial ecosystems.

This result is insensitive to the particular mode by which the nucleons decay and therefore provides a rigorous limit on possible baryon number nonconservation. The new limit is about two orders of magnitude better than the previous rigorous limit on nucleon stability.

The Bank stores in a uniform format atomic co-ordinates and partial bond connectivities, as derived from crystallographic studies. Text included in each data entry gives pertinent information for the structure at hand (e.g. species from which the molecule has been obtained, resolution of diffraction data, literature citations and specifications of secondary structure). In addition to atomic co-ordinates and connectivities, the Protein Data Bank stores structure factors and phases, although these latter data are not placed in any uniform format. Input of data to the Bank and general maintenance functions are carried out at Brookhaven National Laboratory. All data stored in the Bank are available on magnetic tape for public distribution, from Brookhaven (to laboratories in the Americas), Tokyo (Japan), and Cambridge (Europe and worldwide). A master file is maintained at Brookhaven and duplicate copies are stored in Cambridge and Tokyo. In the future, it is hoped to expand the scope of the Protein Data Bank to make available co-ordinates for standard structural types (e.g. α-helix, RNA double-stranded helix) and representative computer programs of utility in the study and interpretation of macromolecular structures.

This article describes a forty-two non-linear equation model of the U.S. petroleum industry estimated over the period 1946 to 1973. The model specifies refinery outputs and prices as being simultaneously determined by market forces while the domestic output of crude oil is determined in a block-recursive segment of the model. It is informed that the petroleum industry is the third largest industry in the U.S. and provides seventy-six percent of the nation's energy requirements. The model being discussed in this article considers both the demand and supply of crude and refinery products and does not implicitly require either perfect competition or restrictive aggregating conditions. Several of the previous models of the petroleum industry have utilized linear programming models of a refinery to represent the industry supply response. The model being discussed in this article specifies outputs and prices to be determined simultaneously by market forces while the output of domestic crude oil is determined in a block-recursive segment, the production sector, of the model.

Satellite DNAs are nuclear DNAs that can be separated by physical methods from the main component DNA of a genome. The most common means is by centrifuging DNA in density gradients formed by cesium salts. Satellites constitute from 1% to 65% of the total DNA of numerous organisms, including that of animals, plants and prokaryotes. The first satellite DNAs were found in the early 1960s and were so designated because their discovery followed closely the orbiting of the first artificial satellite Sputnik. Satellite DNAs are present in numerous organisms. They may be found in all eukaryotes.

We show here that sepiapterin synthase activity is 30 percent of normal in pr and prbw, two naturally occurring alleles of purple, and is restored to nearly normal levels by the suppressor su(s)2. A heterozygote of two newly induced alleles of pr has even lower enzyme activity (< 10 percent). The sepiapterin synthase activity is proportional to the number of wild-type pr alleles inflies when one and two copies ofthe allele are present and is higher in threethan in two-dose flies. We hypothesize that the purple locus may be a structural gene for sepiapterin synthase in Drosophila.

Document Type: Article AB - When viewed in evolutionary perspective, biogerontology becomes primarily the biology of longevity rather than the biology of aging and death. It is shown here that the life-span of mammals is fundamentally related to two quantitative characteristics: a specific measure of relativebrain size, the cephalization coefficient; and a measure of lifetime metabolic activity that has the physical dimensions of action. Recent work by Hart and Setlow (1074) shows that species life-span has a high correlation with the capacity of cultured cells to repair damage to their DNA. As analternative to the widely accepted "senescence gene hypothesis," the hypothesis is proposed here that natural selection acts to maintain and extend mammalian longevity by modifying a set of longevity assurance mechanisms that all mammals have in common.

Preexposure to NO 2 protects against mortality from formation of excessive pulmonary edema (tolerance) and, depending on the preexposure schedule, may or may not protect against the cytotoxic effects of NO 2 in the lung. Measurement of DNA synthesis in hamster lung was used to study the question of whether the more subtle cytoiogical injury induced by NO 2 is mediated by a system that also exhibits tolerance. It was found that when hamsters are preexposed daily to 10 ppm NO 2 , they develop tolerance for normally lethal concentrations of NO 2 , are protected against further cytoiogical injury from 10 ppm NO 2 , but are not protected from the cytotoxic effects of NO 2 at concentrations greater than 10 ppm. Animals exposed weekly to 10 ppm NO 2 are not protected from further cytoiogical injury induced by weekly exposures to 10ppm NO 2 , but do develop tolerance for lethal concentrations of NO 2 . Thus, the data indicate that induction of tolerance to NO 2 does not necessarily protect the cell populations of the lung from the cytotoxic effects of NO 2 .

The method provides a simple, sensitive, and quantitative index of synergism, antagonism, and additivity, and it has been demonstrated experimentally in rats by determining the acute lethality of combinations of cadmium, mercury, and lead salts. In a combination of two metal salts, the dose of one metal of the pair was fixed at or near the no‐effect level while the dose of the second metal was Increased until the entire dose‐response curve was obtained. To evaluate interactions of the three metals, the previous pair of metals were kept fixed at their combined extrapolated LD1 level, and the third metal was increased. The statistical treatment of the data employed a computer program that did not involve probit transformations, but rather the approximate linear relationship between the fractional response and the logarithm of the dose. A particular combination could be synergistic, antagonistic, or additive, depending on the relative doses employed. Generally, a combination was synergistic when the most toxic member was present at or near its LD1 dose in the presence of the much less toxic member; the same combination was protective when the least toxic member was present at or near its LD1 dose. The results clarify apparently contradictory reports regarding the biological effects of metal combinations. The application of the testing procedure to combinations of mutagens is described, and an example is cited involving, for a particular bacterial mutagen, a combination of N ‐methyl‐N’‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine with ethylmethanesulfonate.

Affinity labeling entails the use of reactive analogs of natural substrates (ligands) to label substrate (ligand) binding sites. Other criteria important in establishing active-site modification by affinity labels are, substrate protection, stoichiometric incorporation and necessity of the native three-dimensional structure for reaction to occur. Recent variations on the traditional approaches to affinity labeling are the use of suicide reagents and photoaffinity labels. The greatest challenge of affinity labeling appears to be in drug design, since the mode of action of many naturally occurring antibiotics and synthetic drugs is via the selective, irreversible inactivation of enzymes.

Although the topic discussed in the paper is of limited immediate use, it provides a basis for atom-by-atom matching which may be practical as a large number of unproductive matchings are eliminated from consideration. The approach is based on the concept of atom codes which register the number of neighbors one, two, and more bonds apart. Atom codes provide a means of storing information on a structure (i.e., connectivity) without an explicity use of atom labels. Atom codes also permit assignment of multiple labels to individual vertices based on some specified rules or prescribed properties.

Between 1960 and 1970 there was a decline of over 50% in the insurance contracts written on new and existing units under the unsubsidized Section 203 program. There has been empirical research conducted on the federal government's impact in the market of unsubsidized home mortgage default insurance due to this decline. Results are being used to develop an appropriate thrust for federal policy in the market.

Consequently, latitudinal trends of mercury concentrations in fishes do not necessarily indicate trends of mercury concentrations in water. Food habits and metabolism may cause the observed variations.

Values for the exponents of allometric and mean weight-density equations were estimated by principal components analysis of logarithmically transformed data. (2) It is proposed that soon after a stand of woody plants becomes established the size-frequency distribution is a negatively skewed, bell-shaped curve; the distribution subsequently becomes positively skewed, and eventually approaches normality after substantial thinning. Maximum positive skewness occurs at the time self-thinning begins.. (3) The weight-frequency distribution undergoes a parallel series of stages: roughly normal at first, but quickly changing to lognormal, with maximum skewness attained at the time thinning begins. These curve-forms are proposed only as approximations to empirically observed distributions. A consistent tendency toward bimodality is one commonly-observed departure from the idealized distributions. (4) The calculated exponents of the mean weight-density equations for Prunus pensylvanica and Abies balsamea were -1.46 and -1.22, as compared to the proposed value of -1.5 (-3/2 power `law' of self-thinning. In general, weight changes in plant parts during self-thinning did not parallel those for whole plants; in particular, the mean weight-density exponent for foliage was approximately -1.0. The exponents of mean weight-density equations for total roots and total shoots, however, approximately equalled the exponent for whole plants. (5) It is concluded that observed patterns of allometric growth are incompatible with mean weight-density equations for whole plants. unless a mutual adjustment between allometry and stand structure is assumed.

The second version was available from the National Library of Medicine (IMLM) using the ELH1LL2 software system. The third version is currently available from the NLM using the ELHILL3 software system. The file content was determined by the availability of data and the needs of the TOXLINE users. The data in CHEMLINE is obtained from the CAS Registry system files. The organization of the file was based on the requirements of the three search and retrieval systems. Changes in file structures required evaluation of the data and the development of new specifications prior to creating the file in each software system. Techniques for creating inverted file terms for search purposes from chemical names, molecular formula, ring information, and Wis-wesser Line Notations are described.

Ontogeny of physiological and biochemical aging is found by the comparison of specific functions or structures in old and young animals. Brain weight, body weight, specific metabolic rate, body temperature, conductivity and lower critical temperature have been taken as variables for conducting experiments to find out the allometry of the life span of mammals. The relationship between lifespan and cephalization coefficient, aging and the rate of entropy production have been discussed. According to a hypothesis, aging and disease in living organisms are caused due to the action of senescence genes that have accumulated either by natural selection or by random drift processes inaccessible to natural selection.

Analysis of the metals was completed on solutions of wet ashed or dry ashed samples with a single beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Despite different inputs of the trace metals there were no significant differences in the concentration of Cu or Zn in the biota between the two sites. This was postulated to be due to physiological control of these metals. However, Cd and Pb concentrations were higher in the biota and substrate at the high input site. No accumulation of Cd or Pb occurred at higher trophic levels. Cu and Zn concentrations were similar for all biota with the exception of crayfish and snails which had higher Cu and Zn concentrations, respectively.

Upon centrifugation through glycerol gradients, RNA polymerase II sediments as a single band with an apparent sedimentation constant of 15 S. No contamination with RNA polymerases I or III could be detected when the activity of purified RNA polymerase II was assayed in the presence of high concentrations of α-amanitin. Analysis of purified RNA polymerase II by nondenattiring and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that this enzyme exists in multiple forms. They were designated IIO, IIA, and IIB. It is suggested that each form has a subunit of Mr = 140000 as well as smaller polypeptides in common. They differ, however, in the molecular weights of their largest subunits which is 220000 in form IIO, 200000 in form IIA, and 180000 in form IIB. These large subunits were labelled with 125I, digested with trypsin, and tryptic digests were compared by two-dimensional analysis on thin-layer plates [Elder et al. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 6510–6515]. Fingerprints of tryptic digests from the polypeptides with Mr = 220000, Mr = 200000, and Mr = 180000 were similar. It is, therefore, suggested that these subunits are structurally related. A tryptic digest was also produced from the subunit with Mr = 140000. Its fingerprint was found to yield a considerably different distribution of peptides as compared to those from the three large subunits.

Higher plants appear to have a common replicon size, and they also have a slower fork rate than either bacteria or mammalian cells when grown at optimal temperatures. An entire chromosome of bacteria has but one replicon, whereas a single chromosome of eukaryotes has a multitude of tandem replicons. A replicon has three parts: an origin where replication begins and two forks that diverge from the origin in opposite directions. If two neighboring replicons start replication at the same time before the pulse, the movement of the four forks along the parental DNA is recorded by four arrays of grains on the autoradiogram.

Examples are drawn primarily from studies of phosphorus cycling in temperate lakes and from studies of nitrogen and cation cycling in deciduous forests. Mobility and longevity of consumer organisms permit translocation and storage of nutrients within the physical structure of the ecosystem. Transformation of particle size distribution alters rates of nutrient cycling in proportion to changes in surface or volume relationships. Translocation by mobile consumers redistributes nutrients within and between subunits of the ecosystem.

The atom codes used represent the number of paths of different length originated at each atom. This scheme represents an extension to polycyclic structures of a recently described algorithm for fragment searches in acyclic structures. The basic idea of using the number of neighbors and number of paths for characterization of an atomic environment is not unfamiliar. However, it appears that the accompanying formalism has not been developed previously. The path concept has found much application in various problems relating graphs and structures, but previously the primary emphasis has been the search for shortest paths. Here we show it is useful to list all paths (to any desired depth) for all atoms in a structure and then to use such a list for substructure searches. Essentially, comparison of the lists of paths for two graphs permits establishing compatibilities among the vertices and results in assignment of multiple labels to the graphs under investigation, where the labels are those of the fragment. subsequent atom-by-atom matching is straightforward and efficient, since the use os multiple labeling prevents a large number of otherwise unproductive searches from even being considered. By successive registration of a fragment, vertices whose labels have been exhausted are delected and the process repeated on a smaller graph with fewer multiple labels-which makes possible rapid convergence in the search. This search procedure is illustrated with an example.

This usually performed in an intuitive manner and the outcome may be ambiguous. Here a well-defined approach for determing the degree of similarity among structures (molecular skletons and more general graphs) is suggested. We selected paths in a structures as the invariants upon which comparisons among structures should be based. For each structure, one first enumarates paths of different length and constructs a sequence of path numbers for the toms (verticles). From such a list of atom codes, one can derive, by summing the contributions of individuals atoms, a sequence of path numbers for a molecule (or graph). The comparison of structures, thus, can be transformed into a comparison of sequences which are suitable for rigorous mathematical analysis. It is assumed that similar sequences imply similar structures, and, for selected examples, the validity of this assumption has been demonstrated. Molecules, generally considered smimilar, have been found to have similar sequences of path numbers, and molecules differing considerably in their connectivity show large differences in their path numbers. As an illustration of the concept of similarity based on path enumerations, we consider the problem of selecting from a set of structures those most similar to naturally occuring monocyclic monoterpenes. We used available computer-generated hypothetical monocyclic monoterpenes. The movie for this comparison is the assumption that potentially interesting skeletal forms should show considerable similarity to those found in natural structures. such a technique may be of particular use in problems of chemical taxonomy.

Quandt and James B. Ramsey. Whereas it is generally well-known that the method of moments does not provide estimators which are sta- tistically appealing and sometimes not at all in this case, it is reasonable to expect that consideration of only the first five moments or cumulants may result in a considerable loss of information. Sample moment generating functions are much smoother than sample characteristic functions and this would seem prima fade to constitute a decided advantage. The approach of Quandt and Ramsey espouses the solution by choosing those values of the parameters which minimize the distance for fixed k. The authors have chosen k = 5. There are several serious difficulties with this procedure. The optimal choice of the k = 5 points depends on the five unknown parameters. Hence the placement of the five points is critical for estimation.

In vitro studies have suggested that the formation of C24 bile acids (chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid) from C27 cholesterol requires mitochondrial oxidative cleavage of the terminal three carbons of the side chain. Therefore, three patients with Zellweger's syndrome were examined for the presence of mitochondrial defects in bile acid synthesis. All three excreted excessive amounts of 3 α,7 α-dihydroxy-5 β-cholestan-26-oic acid, 3 α,7 α,12 α-trihydroxy-5 β-cholestan-26-oic acid, and 3 α,7 α,12 α24ξ-tetrahydroxy- 5 β-cholestan-26-oic acid (varanic acid), precursors of chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid that have undergone only partial side chain oxidation. These findings give added support to the role of mitochondrial oxidative side chain cleavage in the overall scheme of bile acid synthesis.

Organ cadmium levels of smokers were significantly elevated above those of nonsmokers. No relationship was evident between body stores of cadmium (liver and kidney) and cadmium or f3rmicroglobulin in urine or blood. The average total body burden of cadmium in man at age 50 is estimated to be 19.3 milligrams for nonsmokers and 35.5 milligrams for smokers (38.7 pack-year smoking history). Biological half-time for the whole body was, on average, 15.7 years (10- to 33-year range). Dietary absorption was 2.7 micrograms per.day. Cigarette smoking resulted in the absorption of 1.9 micrograms per pack.

The technology submodels evaluate changes in equipment energy requirements and purchase price as functions of alternative designs. In a similar fashion, changes in thermal performance for new and existing structures were evaluated as functions of increased capital cost for each housing type. The economic submodels calculate elasticities that determine the responsiveness of households to changes in incomes, fuel prices, and equipment prices. Elasticities are calculated for each of the three major household fuels for each of the eight end uses. Each fuel price and income elasticity is decomposed into three components, such as equipment ownership, equipment and structure efficiencies, and equipment usage. Households respond to changes in fuel prices in three different ways. In the sort run, they change the way in which they operate existing stocks of equipment and structures. In the long run, they also change their capital stocks by switching from one fuel to another, by improving the efficiency of their capital stocks, or both. Thus, the elasticity of demand for a particular fuel with respect to the price of that fuel can be decomposed into usage elasticity, equipment fuel choice elasticity and technical energy intensiveness elasticity.

In a search for conditions specifically affecting features of those patterns expressing photoperiodic timing, their amplitudes have been measured as relative peak height (RPH) -- the increased height at the daily peak as a proportion of the average daily minimum -- at both 21°C and 28°C. On nitrate, ammonium or aspartate medium, RPH is reduced roughly 70% at 21°C as compared to 28°C, but on nitrogen-deficient medium the reduction is only 20-30%. Yet growth and the actual intensity of respiration are not differently temperature sensitive on NO3 and N-deficient media. Nor does RPH itself correlate with growth rate. Previous evidence indicates that patterns on NO3 and NH4 media reflect photoperiodic timing and that those on aspartate and N- deficient media do not; hence the temperature sensitivity of RPH does not correlate with whether or not a pattern reflects photoperiodic timing. However, different daily patterns are elicited by pulses of red or far-red on NO3, NH4, and aspartate media but not on the N-deficient. Hence the temperature sensitivity of RPH does correlate with the degree to which the patterns distinguish between red and far-red, which is to say between high and low levels of Pfr-phytochrome. This suggests that high temperature sensitivity in RPH reflects a reaction limited by N assimilation and saturating only at relatively high levels of Pfr.

Results of standardized home interviews by local interviewers showed no differences between low- and high-knowledge groups in either acceptance of the plant or perceived likelihood of effects. However, as hypothesized, the correlations between acceptance and perceived likelihood of three groups of effects (social disruption, hazards, and economic benefit) were higher for residents with high knowledge than for those with low knowledge. The implications of the moderating effects of respondent knowledge in public opinion research are discussed.

A growing body of evidence suggests that fecal pellets of crustacean zooplankton may provide a mechanism by which organic and inorganic materials are packaged and translocated to the deep portions of lakes and oceans. In the pelagic zones of oceans and lakes, zooplankton are the most numerically abundant form of animal biomass and this almost certainly makes them the major fecal pellet-producing organisms. Assimilation of food by zooplankton is often incomplete and there are reports of viable passage of phytoplankton through the guts and into the fecal pellets of both marine and freshwater zooplankton.

The industry is being affected with this upgrade as the responsibility on nuclear facilities for security has also increased. While, according to the utilities nuclear security is industrial security, it is national security according to the Commission. Based on experience, the industry executives do not see the threat as a very alarming one. They say that hydroelectric dams are more vulnerable to malevolent acts.

The tapes contain hourly readings of insolation and ambient temperature over the periodfrom 1953 through 1975. Scatter diagrams of insolation versus heating degree-days, compiled on a daily basis, indicate a wide variation in the insolation level, even during coldest-weather periods. For all but one of the eight sites studied, the peak-day backup energy requirement of the solar system was in excess of 85 percent of the peak-day energy requirement of the conventional (nonsolar) heating system.

This effect is not observed in ozone-tolerant rats and can be reversed by treating the lung lavage fluid from smoke-exposed rats vith reducing agents. Samples of human serum obtained immediately after smoking also show decreased elastase inhibitory capacity per milligram of ca,-antitrypsin. Again, elastase inhibitory capacity can be restored by treatment with a reducing agent. Cigarette smoking may cause emphysema by inactivating a1-antitrypsin through oxidation.

The report of the committee, popularly known as the weinberg report, made recommendations that included the establishment of iacs as a key solution to the information explosion crisis. The authors cover an 18-year perspective of iacs, focusing on both the conceptual and the practical aspects of centers and their operations. The definitions, concepts, relationship to other organizations in the information-transfer process, and management problems of iacs are emphasized.

In such debates, arguments about health hazards to radiation workers must be considered in the same manner that one considers the health hazards to coal miners from pneumoconiosis. Moreover, in such debates, the possibilities of mass deaths from fission power must be weighed against the possibilities of mass deaths and catastrophic loss of property caused by the increase in the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The author argues that a reasonable set of ground rules should be agreed upon in order to make such debates reach fruition.

The phenolic acids apparently were derived from phenolic ethers in the polymer, which in turn probably were formed from carbon monoxide and hydrogen by catalytic Fischer-Tropsch type reactions in the solar nebula. In contrast, terrestrial polymers such as lignin, humic acid, and coal yield mainly para-hydroxy (4-hydroxy) benzene derivatives by the same oxi- dation procedure.

The proposed amendment to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 would extend criminal penalties to private individuals deriving and publishing restricted data. It argues that the secrecy provisions of the act, even in current form, are broader than is necessary for protecting sensitive information.

Recently, ecologists interested in studying succession began using mathematical models of forest dynamics. By the early 1960s, forest biologists at several institutions were using digital computers to design mathematical models of changes in forest composition. It is stated that simulations in the early 1960s were primarily aimed at production budgets, element cycling in plant-soil systems, and trophic-level dynamics. Three forest simulation models discussed in the article include Tree models, Gap models, and Forest models. Tree models take the individual tree as the basic unit of a forest simulator.

Mature plants of J. gardneri were pigmented, contained "typical" red algal chloroplasts when viewed by electron microscopy, and were capable of photosynthesis. Both J. gardneri and L. spectabilis incorporated [SUP14]C-label from NaH[SUP14]CO[SUB3] into similar compounds, including sugars (floridoside, isofloridoside, galactose, glucose) and amino acids (alanine, aspartic acid, glutomic acid, glycine, serine). Translocation of [SUP14]C-labeled photosynthetic products between mature J. gardneri and its host did not occur. This research suggests that mature individuals of J. gardneri are obligate epiphyte.

The results are remarkably consistent with oligopsonistic dominant firm-price leadership. Statistical tests suggest rejection of the null hypothesis of competition.

Three types of data are discussed: data prepared by and for the federal government on overall trends in buildings energy use, data prepared by and for the federal government related to the details of energy use, and data collected at the state and utility level. The major conclusion from this review is that existing national data sources are inadequate for answering the kinds of questions being raised on buildings energy use and conservation. These questions concern overall trends, recent changes, determinants of changes, roles of the private sector and government intervention in implementing conservation measures, and the effectiveness of different kinds of government programs. Relevant data are being collected by many state energy offices and by gas and electric utilities. However, the existence of these potentially-useful subnational data sources is not widely known.

Although carbynes have been known to form only by condensation of carbon vapor above 2600 K or by explosive shock of > 600 kilobars, it is found that they also form metastably by the reaction 2CO --'CO2 + C (solid) at 300° to 400°C in the presence of a chromite catalyst. Such low-temperature formation by surface catalysis may be the dominant source of carbynes on the earth and in meteorites, and a major source of interstellar carbynes and cyanopolyacetylenes.

The model, which treats congestion explicitly in the flow equations, gives rise to nonlinear, nonconvex mathematical programming problems. It has been shown for a piecewise linear version of this model that a global optimum is contained in the set of optimal solutions of a certain linear program. This paper presents a sufficient condition for optimality which implies that a global optimum can be obtained by successively optimizing at most N + 1 objective functions for the linear program, where N is the number of time periods in the planning horizon. Computational results are reported to indicate the efficiency of this approach.

The acylation and deacylation rate constants for the D-isomer are 1/2.5 of those for the L-isomer. Slow rates of deacylation of the two substrates made is possible to prepare the pair of enantiomeric acyl-trypsins. Circular dichroic (CD) spectra of the purified acyl-typsins revealed that the two extrinsic chromophores are somewhat differently oriented in the chiral environment of the active site, although both chromophores could couple intermolecularly with similar intrinsic chromophores near the active site. When p-amidinophenol was added, not only was the deacylation rate of N2Ph-DAla-trypsin noticeably increased, but also the transient CD sprectrum of the enzyme derivative changed markedly in comparison with that of the L-derivative. The observations indicate that the two enantiomeric acyl groups at the active site are situated in different microenvironments.

The quaternary structure of multisubunit biomolecules can be studied by this new method if total reconstitution works in a quantitative way and if extensive replacement of C-bound hydrogen (H) by deuterium (2H) is possible. A substitution of the selected subunits by their fully deuterated analogues was used for the analysis of the overall shapes of the core subunits α2, β and βʹ in situ and for the determination of the intersubunit centre-to-centre distances. THe contrast between the buffer and the remaining ‘hydrogenated’ enzyme vanished if the buffer contains 42% 2H2O (matching of scattering length densities). The isotopic hybridization of the enzyme fulfils the conditions of isomorphous replacement as required: molecular functions, like enzyme activity, were completely preserved. The orientations of the core subunits within the holoenzyme were derived by comparing theoretical and experimental pair distance distribution functions, P(r), obtained from the scattering intensity differences of the pair-labelled (e.g. both β and βʹ labelled) and both mono-labelled molecules by direct Fourier transformations. Additional, the subunit shapes were defined by P(r) analyses. The arrangement of the stable core structure within the holoenzyme, which contains σ as a dissociable factor, is presented in a three-dimensional model [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of European Journal of Biochemistry is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In addition to the centre-to-centre distances d between the core subunits α 2, β and βʹ presented in the preceding paper, the values of between initiation factor σ and α (8.4 ± 1.6 nm), β (4.4 ± 2.2 nm) and βʹ (10.7 ± 1.5 nm) were derived from R of σ (4.1 ± 0.3 nm) in situ and of the pairs α2 – σ (6.1 ± 0.4 nm), β – σ (5.6 ± 0.3 nm) and βʹ – σ (7.5 ± 0.4 nm) within the holoenzyme (α2β βʹσ). The structural parameters of the subunits within their molecular complex are accessible for neutron small-angle scattering measurements using labelling of the different subunits (deuteration), total reconstitution of isotopic hybrids, scattering length density matching of‘hydrogenated’ molecular parts and extended exposure times because of weak scattering effects. The overall shape of σ bound to core enzyme (α2ββʹ) proved to be identical (within experimental resolution) with σ in the isolated state measured recently by X-ray small-angle scattering. The refined shape of isolated σ was reduced to an ellipsoid which was orientated with respect to the core structure (α2 — β — βʹ) in a ’space-filling’ way around the position of the σ centre obtained by triangulation. The complete subunit arrangement of holoenzyme is shown in a three-dimensional model.

Chemical species of trace elements are defined to a large extent by the matrices that contain them. The magnetic component of fly ash is ferrite. The mullite-quartz phase is relatively pure and can be recovered as a resource.

By extending the notion of frames to include rule frames, which can then be interpreted and applied, expertise of various kinds can be directly encoded into the frame representation. Frame based rules are useful in encoding constraints, performing actions, noticing complex situations, and deducing solutions. By varying the interpretation of a rule frame, the same competence knowledge can be used in performing each of these tasks. Rules are able to use the frame based representation in finding other rules, avoiding most pattern-directed invocation.

The techniques exploit special characteristics of statistical databases, namely, variation in the space required for the natural encoding of integer attributes, a prevalence of a few repeating values or constants, and the clustering of both data of the same length and constants in long, separate series. The techniques are variations of run-length encoding, in which modified run-lengths for the series are extracted from the data stream and stored in a header, which is used to form the base level of a b-tree index into the database. The run-lengths are cumulative, and therefore the access time of the data is logarithmic in the size of the header. The details of the compression scheme and its implementation are discussed, several special cases are presented, and an analysis is given of the relative performance of the various versions.

These results indicate that cattle and sheep, on a global basis, release methane with an average δ(13C/12C) value of -60 and -63 per mil, respectively. Together they are a source of atmospheric methane whose δ(13C/12C) is similar to published values for marsh gas and cannot explain the 20 per mil higher values for atmospheric methane.

By comparson, negatron-emitting phosphorus-32 as colloidal chromic phosphate had no antineoplastic activity. The most compelling explanation for this striking difference is the dense ionization and short range of action associated with a-emission. These results have important implications for the development and use of α-emitters as radiocolloid therapy for the treatment of human tumors.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 1981/05/08/ VL - 212 IS - 4495 M3 - Article SP - 678 EP - 680 SN - 00368075 AB - The 2-[18FJfluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose technique was used to measure regional cerebral glucose utilization by human subjects during functional activation. Normal male volunteers subjected to one or more sensory stimuli (tactile, visual, or auditory) exhibited focal increases in glucose metabolism in response to the stimulus. Unilateral visual hemifield stimulation caused the contralateral striate cortex to become more metabolically active than the striate cortex ipsilateral to the stimulated hemifield. Similarly, stroking the fingers and hand of one arm with a brush produced an increase in metabolism in the contralateral postcentral gyrus, compared with the homologous ipsilateral region. The auditory stimulus, which consisted of a monaurally presented factual story caused an increase in glucose metabolism in the auditory cortex in the hemisphere contralateral to the stimulated ear. These results demonstrate that the technique is capable of providing functional maps in vivo related to both body region and submodality of sensory information in the human brain.

Univ. of Idaho 111 were examined after exposure to simulated acidic rain. In buffer solutions [Sup35]SO[Sub4][Sup2-] penetrated leaves faster at pH 2.7 than at 5.7. In contrast, [Sup86]Rb[Sup+] pervaded fastest at pH 5.7, and [Sup3]H[sub2]O entered foliage at similar rates at all pH levels tested. When plants were exposed to simulated rains of various pH levels, calcium, nitrate and sulphate were preferentially leached from whole leaves by rainfalls of low pH, whereas potassium and chloride leached more at pH 5.7 and 3.4 compared with 2.7 and 2.9. Isotope tests indicated that cells within leaves were more permeable to [Sup35]SO[Sup4][Sup2-] and [Sup3]H[Sub2]O and less permeable to [Sup86]Rb[sup+] at pH 2.7 than at higher pH levels. These results suggest a wide diversity of leaf and cell permeability responses to various ions after exposure to acidic rain. In general, an increased rate of nutrient leaching at more acidic levels was correlated with a lower adaxial leaf resistance during leaf development.

Attaching photovoltaic devices to the utility grid will not yield significant fuel oil savings over the long run, in which utilities approach the economic optimum generating mix, and will increase peak plant requirements. Utility capacity and fuel savings of photovoltaic devices are reported both for the case without storage and for the case in which the utility has access to load-leveling storage.

The greatest deposition of Kepone has occurred in zones characterized by very high sedimentation rates, 10 to 20 centimeters per year. Since sediment is the major Kepone reservoir, rapid burial probably reduces the exposure of organisms to further contamination. Disturbance caused by hurricanes or dredging, however, could return highly contaminated sediment to the surface although this sediment would be diluted with less contaminated particles.

JO - Ecology JF - Ecology Y1 - 1981/08// VL - 62 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1010 EP - 1019 SN - 00129658 AB - This paper describes differences in canopy arthropod community structure, major cation content, and calculated nutrient consumption between clearcut and undisturbed hardwood forest watersheds at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, North Carolina, USA, during the first two growing seasons following cutting. Although canopy arthropod biomass was about 0.08% of foliage biomass on both watersheds, aphid mass increased 23-fold and ant mass increased 6-fold per unit foliage mass following cutting. These groups in general had lower nutrient concentrations than did chewing herbivores and predators. Arthropod K concentrations were 33% lower on the clearcut; Na, K, and Mg concentrations were 20%-50% higher in 1978 than in 1977. Arthropod Mg and Ca concentrations, but not Na, and K, were reduced significantly more by the greater effect of drought on the clearcut watershed. Consumption estimates based in part on consumption rates reported by others indicated increased nutrient translocation from foliage via arthropods following cutting. These data indicated that canopy arthropod responses in nutrient availability following disturbance could have increased nutrient cycling rates and contributed to nutrient retention by the recovering ecosystem.

JO - Review of Economics & Statistics JF - Review of Economics & Statistics Y1 - 1981/08// VL - 63 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 328 PB - MIT Press SN - 00346535 AB - This article focuses on the measurement of vertical integration. In order to test hypotheses regarding the impact of vertical integration on business performance, it is first necessary to develop a measure of vertical integration that can be used in empirical studies. M.A. Adelman suggests that such an index satisfy two criteria, first, it must have a foundation in economic theory, and second, it must be measurable. Since Adelman's efforts, several authors have attempted to develop indices of vertical integration, but their work has not resulted in a structural variable that has earned general acceptance. Once the index is developed, it can be used as a tool to examine how the average level of vertical integration has changed over time. If vertical integration can lower costs or reduce risk, one would expect to see an increase in the number of firms that integrate vertically. An empirical test of this hypothesis using the Vertical Industry Connection index is presented. The results support the contention that vertical integration has increased in the post-war period. This conclusion contrasts with Arthur B. Laffer's findings that vertical integration did not change significantly from 1929 to 1965.

Benzoyl peroxide was inactive on the skin as a complete carcinogen or as a tumor initiator. A single topical application of benzoyl peroxide produced a marked epidermal hyperplasia and induced a large number of dark basal keratinocytes, effects similar to those produced by the potent tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate. Benzoyl peroxide, like other known tumor promoters, also inhibited metabolic cooperation (intercellular communication) in Chinese hamster cells. In view of these results caution should be recommended in the use of this and other free radical-generating compounds.

Plots were exposed three times per week to simulated rainfalls of pH 4.0, 3.1, 2.7 or 2.3 to provide inputs of 50, 397, 998 or 2506 μequiv. of hydrogen ions respectively, above ambient levels throughout the growing season. Control plots received no simulated rainfall treatments. The results indicate significant differences by both analysis of variance and two-tailed t-tests. These additional hydrogen ions decreased seed yields by 2.6, 6.5, 11.4 and 8.5%, respectively. A treatment-response function was determined between the hydrogen ion concentration of the treatments and seed yield. This function, y = 21.06 - 1.01 log x, has a correlation coefficient of minus 0.90 and its slope is significantly different from zero. Decreased yields were attributed to a decrease in number of pods per plant since seed number per pod and mass per seed did not vary among the treatments. On a per plant basis, total seed protein decreased by 10 and 19% in plants exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 4.0 and 3.1, respectively, compared with plants not exposed to simulated rainfalls. At these same treatment levels total non-structural carbohydrates did not decrease significantly. The results show that additional increments of simulated acidic rain can decrease seed biomass and protein content of field-grown soybeans.

The percentage of phagocytic macrophages and the number of particles per cell were determined from cell-size and fluorescence histograms. A comparison of in vivo and in vitro phagocytosis data showed that the percentage of phagocytic lavaged macrophages reflected the availability of instilled particles. With sodium azide used to model phagocytosis inhibition, it was shown that the percentage of phagocytic cells and the number of particles per cell can be determined simultaneously.

In both systems, the simultaneous photoproduction of hydrogen and oxygen was measured by driving the systems into the steady state with repetitive, single-turnover, flash illumination. The turnover times for production of both oxygen and hydrogen in photosynthetic water splitting are in milliseconds and are equal to or less than the turnover time for carbon dioxide reduction in intact algal cells. The oxygen and hydrogen turnover times are therefore compatible with each other and partially compatible with the excitation rate of the photosynthetic reaction centers under conditions of solar irradiation.

JO - Land Economics JF - Land Economics Y1 - 1982/02// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 118 PB - University of Wisconsin Press SN - 00237639 AB - In this article, an attempt is made to extend the fiscal-impact model to include impacts on the local private sector that stem from local public-sector changes. More specifically, attention is focused on the limiting case, in which new private sector development yields positive changes in fiscal capacity, but does not increase public-service demands or interact with the local private sector. Interest in this issue stems from an analysis of the local impacts of constructing and operating nuclear power stations. From the community's point of view, importing tax dollars occurs much like an open-ended matching grant. For every dollar the community chooses to raise locally through taxation, it imports a matching amount, with the matching rate given by the ratio of imported taxable capacity to local taxable capacity. Local public services become less expensive, relative to private services, when this ratio increases. Once a community makes a decision as to a tax rate following a pure taxable capacity change, the degree to which its impact will affect the local economy is dependent on a number of additional behavioral parameters.

If efficiency considerations are ignored, each file needs to be stored only at the most detailed level for which the data are complete. Geocode correspondence files provide the information required to transform data from any level to any other level. Inevitably, disaggregation requires ad hoc proportionality assumptions; different assumptions are suitable for different applications. In seedis, unlike other systems, these assumptions are under the user's control.

Stimulation of the respiratory burst in human neutrophils by 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) caused a decline in highly fluorescent cells (characteristic of resting neutrophils) and a corresponding increase in the number of weakly fluorescent cells (characteristic of activated neutrophils). Increasing concentrations of TPA caused increasing numbers of cells to shift from the highly fluorescent population to the weakly fluorescent population without the appearance of intermediate populations. Thus the neutrophil respiratory burst, a component of neutrophil cytotoxic response, is triggered in an all-or none fashion.

Prices are nearer to their theoretical competitive equilibrium values in the DA than in the PQ mechanism. In PQ, the price-quantity outcomes are best explained by a monopoly-monopsony equilibrium in which it is hypothesized that buyers withhold demand in an attempt to obtain a monopsony profit; sellers simultaneously withhold supply in an attempt to achieve monopoly profits; and that the two sides settle on a split-the-difference compromise price half way between the monopoly and the monopsony price. 2. Overall efficiencies are significantly higher under DA exchange than under the PQ mechanism. However, this efficiency difference is smaller for the period 7 efficiency comparison than for the comparison of over-all efficiency. This narrowing of the difference suggests the possibility that with more experience subjects in PQ may approach the efficiencies obtained in DA. 3. The unanimity tâtonnement version of the sealed-bid mechanism, PQv, does not provide an improvement in performance over the PQ mechanism with short-term contracting. Efficiency and the price outcomes in PQv are as erratic as in PQ. 4. The P(Q) mechanism, which allows buyers (sellers) to submit demand (supply) schedules, yields better results in terms of price and efficiency outcomes than is obtained with PQ. Although P(Q) does not perform as well as DA, it comes closer to the DA standard than does PQ. This result is contrary to expectations based on Nash equilibrium theory since the competitive equilibria are among the Nash equilibria for PQ but not for P(Q) (computed net of commissions). 5. Adding the unanimity tâtonnement feature to this last mechanism, called P(Q)v, yields performance at least as good as DA. Again, this is not consistent with Nash predictions.

Programming of AAT is characterized by low rates of synthesis and turnover of both mRNA and enzyme. TAT mRNA is produced much faster but this product, like the enzyme, undergoes rapid turnover, resulting in a low steady-state level of this enzyme. Programming of TAT expression appears to be designed for regulation.

Given that one plans to build the plant, the optimum level of safeguards is achieved when the cost of further risk reduction exceeds the benefit from lower risk. This paper develops quantitative models of factors that influence this risk/cost trade-off. A basic conceptual structure is presented, and a detailed example is used to illustrate the methodology for optimal regulation setting.

The term statistical databases refers to databases that represent statistical or summary information and that are used for statistical analysis. Typically, these databases contain quantitative information, such as population counts and combinations of descriptive information, and such as race and sex for each quantitative measure. Individual items from the workshop were prepared separately for the database. N1 - Accession Number: ISTA1800941; Wong, H K T 1; Affiliations: 1 : California Univ., Berkeley.

This finding contradicts the prediction, based on laboratory batch sorption measurements, that ruthenium-106 should migrate at a much lower rate than tritium. To predict migration of radionuclides in ground water, more relevant laboratory measurements are required.

This new procedure eliminates the usual long film exposure in autofluorography and the attendant delay in processing and data reduction. An image intensifier and electronic camera tube are used to integrate the light produced by the tritium interaction with a scintillator incorporated in the gel. Preliminary results show that, compared to film, the exposure is reduced 100 to 1000 times. The response to low activity levels is improved, and spatial resolution is maintained. A proposed instrument could be used for measuring other isotopes as well as fluorescent and visible stains.

Findings with respect to sulfate, nitrogen in nitrate plus nitrite, nitrogen in ammonium, chloride and sodium ions and selected ratios are reported here. Concentrations of each of the first three species were highly correlated with concentrations of the others and with hydrogen ions. Little correlation was found between these species and either sodium or chloride ions but the latter two were highly correlated with each other. Concentrations of the first three species are highest in summer and lowest in winter. High concentrations were also found with cold front and squall line precipitation and with rain showers and thundershowers. Concentrations of these species are high with both low and high precipitation rates. Concentrations are highest with west and northwest winds due to the presence of major source regions in those directions. They are high with both low and high temperatures but lower in the moderate temperature range. Concentrations are high with low (3.0 to 3.9) and with high (6.0 to 6.9) pH but less at intermediate levels. Thus, concentrations of these species in precipitation are determined by complex chemical and meteorological interactions and relationships. Chloride and sodium were found to be largely of marine origin. Highest concentrations occur in the fall and with hurricanes, strong winds, and onshore wind directions. Concentrations decrease with increasing precipitation rate. At low concentrations, the chloride/sodium ratio is above the seawater ratio and excess chloride is present. At high concentrations the ratio is below the seawater ratio and a chloride deficit exists.

Most of the plant sulfur derived from pore-water sulfide was recovered as sulfate, an indication that the sulfide had been oxidized within the plant. The analysis of the sulfur isotope ratios of other coastal halophytes may be a useful technique for determining whether sulfide is taken up by plants in saline wetlands.

The storm event of April 8 to 10, 1979, was selected for intensive study. Precipitation chemistry data were obtained from event samples at six MAP3S sampling sites and from hourly samples at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations of hydrogen, sulfate, nitrate and ammonium ions were used as receptor data. Some emissions data for SO and NO were obtained from the MAP3S emissions inventory. Surface and upper air meteorological data were analyzed. Backward trajectories ending at each of the sampling sites during the precipitation period were computed with the Heffter Interactive-Terminal Transport Model using selected transport layers. Results show that concentrations of pollutant species in event precipitation samples were much higher at stations at end points of trajectories passing through the Ohio River valley than at stations with other trajectories. Likewise, concentrations at Brookhaven were much higher during the end period of a trajectory through the same region than with more northerly and more southerly tracks. The model produced back trajectories consistent with synoptic flows. Concentrations of air pollutants in precipitation were roughly proportional to the number of major pollutant sources along the trajectory. These results suggest that a larger number of studies might identify more restricted source areas or even establish a quantitative relationship between source emissions along a trajectory and concentrations in precipitation at receptor sites.

In the oak-leaf-amended pH-adjusted acid soils, CO production in 14-and 150-day preincubated samples decreased by about 6 and 37%, respectively. In the control (unamended) acidified soils, reductions in CO production of 14% in 14-day preincubated samples and of 52% in 150-day samples were observed. Ammonia formation in the pH-adjusted acid soil was about 50% less than in the naturally acid soil. Increased rates of ammonification and nitrification were observed in the pH-adjusted neutral soil. Little autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrifying activity was detected in naturally acid and acidified forest soils. The rate of denitrification was rather slow in acid soils, and at greater acidities NO was the predominant end product. The abundance of N-fixing free-living bacteria was very low in acidic and acidified forest soils, and N gains by asymbiotic bacterial fixation in an acid forest ecosystem may be insignificant. These results suggest that further acidification of acid forest soils by addition of HSO or by acid precipitation may lead to significant reductions in the leaf litter decomposition, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification and thus reduce nutrient recycling in the forest ecosystem.

A discussion of possible reasons for this apparent contradiction is presented along with results of two computer simulations of possible responses to acid rain induced changes in (a) N availability and (b) soil organic matter decomposition rate. The first simulation shows a direct relationship between N availability and forest production. The second indicates the possibility for a more complex response with changes in total soil organic matter more than compensating for changes in decomposition rate and producing an inverse relationship between decomposition rate and N availability.

The oxygen-18 content of sulfates formed in power plant stack gases before emission into the atmosphere is significantly higher than that of sulfates formedfrom sulfur dioxide after emission. Results show that 20 to 30 percent of the sulfates in rain and snow at Argonne, Illinois, are of primary origin.

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 1982/08// VL - 28 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 239 SN - 00102202 AB - The concentration of lhe OH radical in a stoichiometric methane-air flat flame at atmospheric pressure was measured with both laser-absorption spectroscopy and molecular-beam mass spectrometry (MBMS). The nonequilibrium peak OH concentrations and the OH decay rate measured from the two techniques were in good agreement. The OH profile from the MBMS measurements, however, was shifted downstream from the absorption measurements by the MBMS sampling process. A comparison of temperature profiles from thermocouple measurements and from a molecular-beam time-of-flight technique exhibited a similar downstream shift. The MBMS measurements effectively sampled the gas properties approximately five orifice diameters ahead of the sampling-probe tip. Perturbation of the OH concentration profile using various sampling probes indicate the importance of minimizing the length of the sampling-orifice channel to reduce composition relaxation during sampling.

Trends in density from the corridor edge to 268 m into the forest were examined for the bird community as a whole and for edge, deep forest, and unaffected, species. Analysis of computer-generated, randomly distributed ‘species’ indicated that most trends observed in individual bird species were real. Apparently due to a tendency for some birds to establish territories in a row along the straight corridor edge, peaks in total density occurred at the edge and again in deeper forest. In each year, total density was higher at some distance into the forest than at or near the edge. The contribution of five edge species to bird density on the plot as a whole was negated by lower densities of nine deep forest species in areas near the edge. Considered as a group, thirteen forest species that individually appeared unaffected by the corridor showed a significant decrease in density with increasing distance from the corridor edge: this may have been caused by higher bird density in a small amount of mixed forest habitat near the corridor.

Spatial price competition between duopolists charging uniform delivered prices does lead to the constant oscillation of prices suggested by Edgeworth under the assumption of zero-price conjectural variation. It is vital to note that the alternative conjectural variation of assuming the neighbor will always maintain the same service boundary is analogous to the concede strategy. The competitor merely implements those boundaries and sets a monopolistic price.

These ion-water interactions can now be probed directly and unambiguously by neutron diffraction. Such measurements have been done with neodymium trichloride solutions in heavy water that are identical in every respect except the isotopic state of the neodymium ions; these experiments yield in a straightforward manner the distribution of oxygen and deuterium atoms from the water molecules in the first hydration sphere of the neodymium ion. Each ion is surrounded by 8.6 oxygen atoms at a distance of 2.48 angstroms antd 16.7 deuterium atoms at 3.13 angstroms indicating a well-defined first hydration sphere of water molecules, the deuterium atoms pointing away from the cation.

This pattern differed from other studies of litter decomposition in more northern environments where decomposition rates were relatively constant throughout the year or more rapid beneath a winter snow cover. The pattern observed can be approximated by using monthly actual evapotranspiration estimates as a correction factor for the decomposition constant, k, in the commonly-used negative exponential decomposition model. Mean microarthropod densities increased from a seasonally weighted estimate of 18.2 ind, g-1 litter during the first year of decomposition to 73.6 ind. g-1 litter during the second year. In spite of this increase, no difference in the rate of weight loss of the litter was observed between the first and second year of the study.

A model of river flow rate for the 522 weeks of data is built through the transfer function/intervention model development processes of Box-Jenkins/Box-Tiao. Analysis indicates a rainfall variable has a significant influence on the pre-dam flow rate but not on the post-dam flow rate. The model also reflects a differing relationship of rainfall to pre-dam flow rate depending on the season of the year. Physical interpretations of model parameters and determination of implied mean flow rates suggest that the final model provides a sound basis for some public policy decisions that might focus on the dam.

After reviewing several transmission mechanisms proposed in previous studies, the paper suggests that interregional commodity trade, with limited mobility of factors of production such as labor, is an obvious candidate for transmitting economic fluctuations among regions. Three models are constructed to analyze transmission mechanisms involved in interregional commodity trade in a monetary setting. Increases in wages or unemployment in one region could induce increases or decreases in wages or unemployment in another region. The directions of transmitted changes depend crucially on the cause of the change and the economic structures of the regions involved.

In an attempt to induce hydrogenase activity (as measured by hydrogen photoproduction) the seaweeds were maintained under anaerobiosis in CO[SUB2] free seawater for varying lengths of time. Although oxygen evolution was observed in every alga studied, hydrogen evolution was not observed. Our conclusion of this research is that, in contrast to the microscopic algae, there is not a single example of a macroscopic alga for which the photoevolution of hydrogen has been observed, in spite of the fact that there are now at least nine macroscopic algal species known for which hydrogenase activity has been reported (either by dark hydrogen evolution or light-activated hydrogen uptake). These results are in conflict with the conventional view that algal hydrogenase can catalyze a multiplicity of reactions, one of which is the photoproduction of molecular hydrogen. Two possible explanations for the lack of hydrogen photoproduction in macroscopic algae are presented. It is postulated that electron acceptors other than carbon dioxide can take up reducing equivalents from Photosystem 1 to the measurable exclusion of hydrogen photoproduction. Alternatively, the hydrogen-uptake system with respect to light-activated reactions. A simple kinetic argument based on recent measurements of the photosynthetic turnover times of simultaneous light-activated hydrogen and oxygen production is presented that supports the second explanation.

The validity-robustness of these methods, based on both classical estimators and a variety of M estimators, will be compared for increasing numbers of simultaneous comparisons. The Bonferroni and maximum modulus methods are seen to be nonrobust when many comparisons are made. Scheffe's method is more stable. These results are fairly independent of the choice of estimator. Monte Carlo results indicate these expansion approximated probabilities accurately reflect qualitative behavior and give reasonable numerical values for moderately trimmed M estimators, but rare insufficiently accurate to generate critical points for heavily trimmed estimators.

In one experiment, plants were shielded from all ambient rainfall and exposed to simulated rainfall in quantities equal to the average amount of rainfall that occurs at the site. Seed yields of soybeans exposed twice weekly to simulated rain of pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 were, respectively, 10.7, 16.8 and 22.9% below yields of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH 3-6. A treatment-response function of seed yield vs rainfall pH was y = 7.40 + 1.025x and had a correlation coefficient of 0.997 (y is seed mass per plant and x is the pH of the simulated rain). in a second experiment, soybean plants were not shielded from ambient rainfall (weighted mean hydrogen ion concentration equal to pH 4.04) and received only small volumes of simulated rainfall three times weekly. Plants exposed to simulated rainfall of pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 exhibited yield reductions of 2.7, 7.0 and 7.6%, respectively, below yields of plants exposed to simulated rainfall of pH 5.6. By best fit analyses, the equation describing this relationship is expressed by y = 9.68+0.318x, and the correlation coefficient is 0-97. In both experiments, the observed decrease in seed yields was due to a decrease in number of pods per plant.

Thru paper describes a tree structure and traversal scheme which is applied to the computation of a reliability measure. The key to this variation is a particular labeling of the enumeration tree which locates supersets of a set S in one subtree of the node labeled with S. Exact computation by simple techniques is considerably more time-consuming than by the "branch and fathom" technique, which may also be useful in computing other functions on the power set of a set.

The results indicate that usage is concentrated in urbanized areas of the Northeast and north central states and that about 9.0 to 11.0 percent of U.S. space heating input is from firewood. No constraints due to the supply of wood were apparent in 1978-1979. These findings have implications for effects on air quality.

Absolute numbers of DNA synthesizing cortical thymocytes per cross-section of the thymus were computed from combined data obtained by planimetry, counts of cell density (cellularity) and assessment of the labelling index, I h after injection of (methyl--³H)-thymidine. The proliferative activity of these cells in the outer fourth of the thymic cortex reached a peak exceeding significantly control values by 45%, 14 days after primary, but not secondary, peripheral antigenic stimulation. We conclude that the cortical thymocyte population responded in a distinct manner to the first immunization as opposed to the booster injection of the same antigen.

This population has changed over years, but it retains many of the characteristics of its rural beginnings. Over 90 percent of the cooperatives' consumers are classified in the residential sector and nearly two thirds of its electricity sales go to these consumers. The residential sector, which includes both farm and nonfarm households, has been greatly affected by the drive to bring central-station electric service to the rural area. The acceptance of mechanized farming has contributed to the decline in the number of farms as large-scale operations became increasingly profitable. Although people are leaving the farm, the 1970s have seen a positive net migration into rural areas. People who receive transfer payments such as social security income, are not tied to any employer or city. They are increasingly choosing to live in rural areas, which are perceived to be less experienced, freer from crime, but which still provide required services, such as electrical power.

One dynamic program controls acceleration as a function of time subject to constraints on speed, acceleration, and distance covered. Another controls acceleration and gearshift subject to constraints on speed, acceleration, and time required to shift gears. Results are presented for acceleration to a given cruising speed, driving over hills while achieving a given average speed, and driving from one stop sign to another.

The measurements were indicative of the cellular DNA content and base composition, cell concentration, and proliferative state of the population. The ratio of the chromomycin A3 signal to the Hoechst 33258 signal increased with the guanine-cytosine content of the cellular DNA for the six cultured species measured, following expectation. Bacteria in urine from patients with urinary tract infections were characterized without interference particulates.

The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for model parameters is fully characterized. In the most complex case, the MLE is displayed as a simple function of the smallest positive root of a kth degree polynomial. An iterative scheme that converges monotonically to the desired root is given. Results are applied to the analysis of data on asthma attacks reported by Cowan et al. (1963).

EBSCO is reproducing the article exactly as it appears in the magazine.] This study measured the incidence of cause specific trauma in the Cleveland and Lorain-Elyria Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs), population 2.2 million, as reported to hospital emergency departments (ED). Cases were selected according to a stratified probability sampling plan (N = 9268.) The participating hospitals accounted for 97.6 per cent of 903,346 ED visits in 1977; 52 per cent of these visits were for trauma, (ICDA-8) E800-E999). The trauma incidence rate was 197 per 1,000 population. The six leading causes of injury were: falls, 24.4 per cent; cut/piercing injury, 14.2 per cent; striking or struck by object, 13.8 per cent; motor vehicle collisions (MVC), 11.6 per cent; overexertion/ strain, 82 per cent; and assault, 4.3 per cent. Only falls, MVCs, and assaults were leading causes of both injury and death. The injury incidence rates for vehicular crashes and assault were 1.4 and 3.8 times higher, respectively, than the official incidence rates for these SMSAs. These differences point to a significant underreporting of data needed for public health decision making. Because data were not collected on cases treated outside the participating hospitals, the incidence rates reported here represent at conservative estimate of the magnitude of the problem.

The uptake of putrescine in vivo was complete within 5 minutes and was specific for tumor tissue. The conversion of putrescine to spermine and other metabolites by the tumor was rapid, in contrast to the case for adjacent normal brain. These results suggest that putrescine labeled with carbon-11 may be used as a positron-emission tomographic tracer for the selective metabolic imaging of brain tumor and may be used in an appropriate model as a marker for tumor growth rate.

The amplified sequence is bounded by a tetranucleotide inverted repeat; the upstream arm of the inverted repeat is missing from two other variants of the satellite. The latter variants contain only one copy of a sequence that is closely related to the amplified sequence. By contrast, in several satellite DNA's of other organisms, extra DNA is inserted.

It presents numerical results for calculating derivatives of two results of interest with respect to several values of the underlying data elements for which the derivatives are appreciable. In a number of cases, the accuracy of the derivative information obtained has been verified by direct calculations and these comparisons are also presented. The theory used here is, in principle, applicable to a variety of models. It is most useful when applied to models that contain a very large number of data elements.

The composition of the fumarolic gases has changed slightly since 1980: the water content increasedfrom 90 to 98 percent, and the carbon dioxide concentrations decreased from about 10 to I percent. The emission rates of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide were at their peak during July and August 1980, decreased rapidly in late 1980, and have remained low and decreased slightly through 1981 and 1982. These patterns suggest steady outgassing of a single batch of magma (with a volume of not less than 0.3 cubic kilometer) to which no significant new magma has been added since mid-1980. The gas data were useful in predicting eruptions in August 1980 and June 1981.

The research demonstrated the simultaneous photo-production of hydrogen and oxygen by anaerobically adapted marine green algae. One approach that has received considerable attention is the production of biomass energy in which plant material is consumed in the energy-conversion step. The ability to produce hydrogen and oxygen is restricted to a fairly limited number of photosynthetic organisms. In the algae, chloroplasts absorb photons and use the excitation energy to drive an energetically uphill reaction. The original discovery of hydrogen production via photosynthesis was made in 1942 by Hans Gaffron and Jack Rubin of the University of Chicago, who used single-celled green algae.

Upon closer examination when neighbouring plants were studied, the level of mycorrhizal infection of A triplex confertifolia was found to be related to its interspecific plant associations. When A triplex confertifolia occurred solitarily, or in the presence of non-mycorrhizal A. gardneri, it was non-mycotrophic. However, when occurring near grasses or Artemisia spinescens, it possessed mycorrhiza infection. What appeared to be a community effect for the occurrence of mycorrhiza is nothing more than an association effect in which level of infection is related to the degree of mycorrhizal host plant cover. In disturbed communities little chance occurs for encountering a neighbouring mycorrhizal plant, while native plant communities are composed primarily of mycorrhizal counterparts.

Merr. cv. Davis] were exposed to simulated acid rain (pH 2.6 to 5.6) and gaseous air pollutants (SO[SUB2] + O[SUB3]) to determine how effects on short-term physiological processes are integrated into whole-plant response. Injury to expanding leaves, characterized by marginal necrosis and leaf deformation, was induced by twice-weekly exposure to simulated rain of pH 2.6 and to a lesser extent pH 3.4. Growth inhibition resulted only from exposure to rain of pH 2.6, and there were no significant pH × air pollution interactions. Growth analysis from periodic harvests indicated that inhibitory effects of rain of pH 2.6 were mediated through a reduction in leaf area ratio (LAR). The alteration in LAR was not attributable to reduced allocation of dry matter to leaves but to lower specific leaf area caused by leaf deformation. There were no effects of rain pH on unit leaf rate. A second experiment confirmed the lack of growth inhibition from simulated rain with pH> 34. Cumulative water use, a measure that integrated aspects of root size, leaf area, and physiology, was remarkably similar in plants exposed to pH 3.4, 4.2, or 5.6 simulated rain. These experiments suggest that vegetative growth of soybeans may be adversely affected by acid rain if pH is low enough to cause physical injury to leaves and loss of photosynthetic area.

Eightfield measurements of induced natural convection were made, giving heatflux values that rangedfrom 1.78 to 8.09 kilowatts per square meter at lava temperatures of 1088 and 1128 degrees Celsius, respectively. These field measurements of convective heat flux at subliquidus temperatures agree with previous laboratory measurements in furnace-melted samples of molten lava, and are usefulfor predicting heat transfer in magma bodies and for estimating heat extraction rates for magma energy.

Our diffusional-thermal model is based on the assumption of large overall activation energy, and the nonuniformity in the feed is treated as a perturbation of the uniform case. The flame shape for a given inflow enthalpy profile depends on Lewis number, inflow velocity, and conductance of the burner, and for sufficiently small Lewis number, we exhibit the onset of cellular flame formation. Unlike previously encountered flame instabilities, the transition to a cellular name occurs here in a gradual, rather than an abrupt, fashion through an "imperfect bifurcation."

The spectrum was well resolved and highly characteristic of the chromophore. Comparisons were made between the spectrum of this modified DNA and the isolated deoxyguanosine-BPDE adduct and a series of other 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-BP (THBP) derivatives. 9-Hydroxy-BP 4,5-oxide, which is also involved in the binding of BP to DNA, and THBP have very similar conventional broadband fluorescence spectra. However, the fluorescence-line-narrowed spectra of their derivatives were readily distinguishable either as individual components or as mixtures.

Plants were shielded from all ambient rainfalls automatically by two moveable exclusion covers and exposed to simulated rainfalls in quantities equal to the average amount of rainfall that occurs at the site. Seed yields cv. Amsoy exposed twice weekly to simulated rain of pH 4·1, 3·3 and 2.7 were, respectively, 3.0, 9.0. and 12.8% below yields of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH St. A treatment-response function of seed yield vs rainfall pH for Amsoy was y = 10·20 + 0·587 x and had a correlation coefficient of 0·96 (y is seed mass per plant and x is the pH of the simulated rain). For cv. Williams, seed vidds of plants exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 5·6, 4·1, 3·3 and 2·7 were 11·5, 11·4 and 11·4 g, respectively. A treatment-response function of seed yield vs rainfall pH for Williams was y = 11.13 + 0·016 x which had a correlation coefficient of 0·038. Plants of Amsoy and Williams grown in plots adjacent to the exclusion shelters had mean seed yields of 11·4 and 9·8 g per plant, respectively. Seed yield per plant was dependent upon number of pods per plant because the number of seeds per pod did not vary among treatments for each cultivar.

Protein phosphorylation has been studied in plants for more than a decade. Early studies were concerned with phenomena which had parallels in animal cells, such as the phosphorylation of nuclear and ribosomal proteins, but more recently considerable attention has been given to an example without parallel in animal cells, the phosphorylation of chloroplast proteins. When isolated intact chloroplasts from green plants are incubated in the light with orthophosphate, radioisotope is incorporated not only into low molecular weight molecules such as ATP and sugar phosphates but also into RNA and protein.

Case fatality ratios are estimated by comparing these injury rates with population-based mortality rates for 1976-1978. For all age and sex groups, injuries are a major cause of emergency department visits. Falls, striking, cuts, and motor vehicle crashes are the leading causes of injury. Case fatality ratios for motor vehicle crash injuries are considerably higher than those for non-transport injuries. Injury rates and case fatality ratios for males exceed those for females except among the elderly. With increasing age, injury rates decline but the fraction of injuries leading to hospital admission or to fatality rises sharply.

Statistically significant differences in protein content per seed mass were obtained in three of four experiments at the field site. Mean protein contents of control plants for the three experiments reported herein were 330, 393 and 438% and were comparable to protein yields obtained by commercial growers. When results were expressed as protein content per seed mass the changes were independent of reduction in seed mass per plant due to increased rainfall acidity, When results were expressed as protein contents per plant, decreases in protein of 20% were common in plants exposed to rainfalls similar to ambient (pH 4.1) compared with experimental controls (pH 5.6).

F is New Better than Used (NBU) if S(x)S(y) is greater than or equal to S(x + y) for all x and y. Let S.(x) be the empirical survival function based on a random sample of size n from an NBU distribution function F. This paper studies the estimator S[sub n](x) defined as sup{S[sub n](x + y)/S[sub n](y)}, where the supremum is taken over all y for which S[sub n](y) > 0. We show that S[sub n] is an NBU survival curve, and that it is strongly uniformly consistent for S when the underlying distribution has compact support (for example, when sampling is subject to type I censoring). Moreover, in such problems, we show that the rate of convergence of S[sub n] is optimal.

Let PI(x) denote the probability that an arbitrary subject responds in a specified way to a dose x. In this article we consider maximum likelihood estimation of PI(x[sub 1]) ,..., PI(x[sub k]) subject to the constraint that PI is sigmoid. Of particular interest is the nature of PI at very small x. Upper confidence bounds for PI(x), x less than or equal to x[sub 1], are discussed. These confidence bounds depend on an inequality that holds when PI is convex on [0, x[sub 1]]. A test of concavity against the alternative under sigmoidicity, and related tests are discussed. Rejecting concavity requires evidence that PI is convex on [0, x[sub 1]].

One answer is by automatically transforming it from LISP into Fortran. In this paper we discuss a practical application of this technique-one that yields an efficient Fortran program. We view this process as an example of abstract programming, in which the LISP program constitutes an abstract specification for the Fortran version. The idea of strategy—a strategy for getting from LISP to Fortran—is basic to designing and applying the transformations. One strategic insight is that the task is easier if the LISP program is converted to "recursive" Fortran, and then the recursive Fortran program is converted to nonrecursive standard Fortran. Another strategic insight is that much of the task can be accomplished by converting the program from one canonical form to another. Developing a strategy also involves making various implementation decisions. One advantage of program transformation methodology is that it exposes such decisions for examination and review. Another is that it enables optimizations to be detected and implemented easily. Once a strategy has been discovered, it can be implemented by means of rewrite-rule transformations using the TAMPR program transformation system. The transformational approach to program reuse based on this strategy has a measure of elegance. It is also practical—the resulting Fortran program is 25 percent faster than its compiled LISP counterpart, even without extensive optimization.

In a recent paper, Quade (1979) attempted to provide a test with more power than the Friedman test by considering a k-sample extension of the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. This is done by taking advantage of the between-block information. A third way to approach the problem and still retain both the within- and between-block information is first to transform all the observations to ranks from 1 to bk (b blocks and k treatments) and then to apply the parametric F test to the ranks. This approach is shown to be asymptotically distribution-free under suitable conditions. Computer simulation results indicate that this procedure is both robust and powerful for small sample sizes.

RCS programs in the few states where competent evaluations were done show incremental energy savings for participants of approximately 3-5 percent. Assessing the economic worth of RCS programs is particularly difficult (and very site-specific) because of factors such as future fuel prices, differences between marginal and average fuel prices, discount rates, and differences in how programs are implemented. The meager evidence on RCS program cost-effectiveness suggests that the economic benefits are generally small.

In contrast, colonies in shaded reef areas must acquire 60% of their reduced carbon heterotrophically. More than 90% of the carbon fixed by zooxanthellae is translocated to the animal host in both light regimes, but very little is assimilated, apparently because the translocated products are deficient in nitrogen. Thus, the coral's overall growth efficiency is similar to that of aquatic herbivores that forage actively.

(2) Results for chestnut oak (Quercus prinus L.) in the growing season indicate that 62 and 42% of the net deposition of SO 2/4 and Ca2-, respectively, were supplied by canopy exchange, with the remainder being washed-off dry deposition. For white oak (Quercus alba L.), the corresponding values were 81 and 73%, (3) Dry deposition accounted for 30 and 71% of the total atmospheric input of SO 2/4 and Ca2-, respectively. (4) For nitrate, dry deposition was at least 30% of the total atmospheric input, but some uptake of both wet and dry deposition probably occurred in the canopy.

The data employed pertain to the decisions made in the early 197O's by state public service commissions to award or reject automatic fuel adjustment clauses for 34 electric utilities located in the northeast. A probit model of this binary decision outcome is specified, incorporating those variables suggested by the economic theory of regulation. The results obtained provide empirical support for that theory. Moreover, the results strongly reject what has come to be known as the simple capture theory of regulation which holds that regulators unerringly dance to the industry's fiddle.

Rarely is the complexity of factors confronting the disabled employee fully appreciated. The duration and cost of disability are determined as much by financial, emotional and social considerations as by purely medical considerations. The phrase preventive rehabilitation may seem self-contradictory but it expresses the purpose of the return to work program. There are as many different approaches as there are programs, but the best programs include elements of employee assistance counseling and vocational rehabilitation to the employee's ability to work. Employee assistance counseling helps employees cope with the stresses of disability and is important in exploring employee motivation. Return to work programs offer many benefits to the employee, including the resumption of salary, disability benefits rarely equal full salary. Vocational rehabilitation practices, employee assistance counseling, coordination between medical and disability benefit providers and regular communication among all parties represent the foundation of a successful return to work program. While these practices may not be new, their systematic application within corporations represents a new approach toward remediating the human and financial costs of disability to both the employee and employer.

Ten months later their respiratory function was evaluated. No functional differences were found between control and treated animals, and his‐topathologic evaluation of the lungs did not reveal any major treatment‐related alterations. Male and female BALB/c mice were exposed for 1 h to 26.8 μmol/l of 3MF once weekly for 10 wk. After 2 yr the tumor incidence in exposed animals was not increased when compared to controls. It is concluded that the acute Clara‐cell necrosis produced by 3MF at the doses used is of little long‐term consequence.

It is stressed that both constant and variable parameter procedures exist among LRE's. General requirements for stability of parameter estimates are given, as are general forms for parameter estimate covariance matrices that appear in forecast variance determinations. Procedures explicitly considered are the Kalman filter, dynamic autoregression, the Carbone-Longini adaptive estimation procedure, generalized least squares, Widrow's least mean square, and the Makridakis-Wheelwright generalized adaptive filtering.

A file structure (called bit transposed file) is proposed which offers several attractive features that are better suited for the special characteristics that SSDBs exhibit. This file structure is an extreme version of the transposed file where the data is stored by vertical bitwise partitions (rather than by attributewise). The bit patterns of attributes are assigned using one of several index encoding methods. Each of these encoding methods is appropriate for different query types and access requirements. The bit partitions can also be compressed using a version of the run length encoding scheme. Efficient operators on compressed bit vectors are available to form the backbone of a query language. In addition to selective power with low overhead for SSDBs, the bit transposed file also is amenable to special parallel hardware. Results from experiments with the file structure suggest that this may be a reasonable alternative file structure for large SSDBs. (ERA citation 12:040317).

JO - Marine Biology JF - Marine Biology Y1 - 1985/02/15/ VL - 85 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 153 EP - 162 SN - 00253162 AB - Egg production and development rates of Centropages typicus (Krøyer) were studied in the laboratory under carying food and temperature conditions. Egg production rates in the laboratory ranged from 0 to 124 eggs female d and increased with food concentration up to a critical food concentration (P) above which egg production was constant. Egg production rates were influenced by temperature, with more eggs being produced at 15°C than at 10°C. Thalassiosira weisflogii and Prorocentrum micans were determined to be equally capable of supporting egg production at concentrations above P at 15°C. Rate of egg production was independent of adult female size when food and temperature were constant. Egg production rates of freshly captured females ranged from 0 to 188 eggs female d and were higher in April and May than in June or July. Hatching rates of eggs increased with increased temperature; 95% of the eggs at 15°C hatched within 48 h, while only 8% of the eggs at 10°C hatched within 48 h. Development rates, determined at 10°C in excess concentrations of T. weisflogii, were 23.0 d from egg release to copepodid state I, 27.0 d to stage II, 29.5 d to stage III, 32.2 d to stage IV, 38.5 d to stage V and 49 d to adulthood based on the average time required for 50% of the organisms in an experiment to attain a given stage. Adult males were usually observed 2 to 4 d before adult females, and therefore have a slightly faster rate of development. The effects of temperature, food type and food concentration on egg production and the seasonal appearances of diatoms in the New York Bight may account for the observed seasonal cycles in abundance of C. typicus in these coastal waters.

Besides some personal characteristics that make many geographers useful, the main reason is that public policymaking in the United States is exquisitely geographic at the national level. As it is presently structured, however, our policymaking system has a limited capacity to find out the geographic import of the policy options it considers: this complicates interactions between the executive and legislative branches of the government. At a time when society expects policy to be arrived at pluralistically and when a great many of our policy debates involve relationships between one's location and one's legitimate vested interest, geographers have a remarkable opportunity to build roles for their perspectives and skills into new policymaking structures that are evolving.

The term experimental mathematics has been coined to describe computer-based investigations into nonlinear problems that are inaccessible to analytic methods. The experimental mathematician uses the computer to simulate the solutions of nonlinear equations and thereby to gain insights into their behavior and to suggest directions for future analytic research. Nonlinear science has become a discipline in itself, simply because nature is intrinsically nonlinear. The term nonlinear science, meaning the science of problems that are not linear, may seem odd at first. It seems to suggest that linear problems are the central issue, while in fact precisely the opposite is true. Although simple dynamical systems with low dimensional phase spaces can model much of the real world, the analysis of many physical phenomena requires a somewhat different approach. Digital computers, at both mainframe and minicomputer levels and in the conventional sequential or partially pipelined architecture, remain the general purpose tool of experimental mathematicians.

Merr. cv. `Davis'] exposed to combinations of polluted air (0.1 μ11[Sup-1]' SO[sub2] + 0.05 μ11[sup-1] O[Sub3]) and simulated acid rain (pH 3.4, 4.2 and 5.0). Plants exposed to the gaseous air pollutants had lower foliar concentrations of mineral nutrients and chlorophyll. Leaf abscission was increased and photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and vegetative growth were inhibited by SO[Sub2] + O[Sub3]. There was no evidence of adverse effects from acid rain on the physiology of this cultivar, regardless of the gaseous pollutant treatment. In the absence of fundamental physiological dysfunctions, acid rain is unlikely to reduce yield; hence, this study with `Davis' soybeans supports the conclusion of those field studies that have indicated no adverse effects of acid rain on soybeans.

This observation has been used to determine the extent of metabolic turnover of DNA in cells of the adult human cerebellum (90 percent of which are neuronal). If adult human neuronal DNA were metabolically stable, its 13C/12C would reflect that in the maternal diet duringfetal development as nearly all neurons areformed during maturation of the fetal brain and do not undergo cell division thereafter. The 13C/12C ratios in the food chains and body tissues of Europeans differ from corresponding American ratios by about SO parts per million on the average. Therefore, turnover was studied by comparing 13C/12C ratios in cerebellar DNA of American-born Americans, European-born Americans, and European-born Europeans. The 13C/12C ratios in cerebellar DNA from European-born Americans were closer to 13C/12C ratios in cerebellar DNA from European-born Europeans than from American-born Americans, indicating that there was little or no turnover of neuronal DNA.

Plants were shielded from all ambient rainfalls automatically by two moveable exclusion covers and exposed to simulated rainfalls in quantities equal to the average amount of rainfall that occurs at the site during the growing season. Seed yields of soybeans (cv. Amsoy) exposed twice weekly to simulated rain of pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 were, respectively, 0, 10 and 17% below yields of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH 5.6. The linear treatment--response function of seed yield versus rainfall pH for Amsoy was y + 9.18+ 0.74x and had a correlation coefficient of 0.86 (y is seed mass per plant and x is the pH of the simulated rain). The linear component of pH treatment differences showed a highly significant decrease in yield (P= 0.0034). For Amsoy plants exposed to simulated rainfalls daily, plants exposed to pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 exhibited yields 10, 19 and 12%, respectively, below those exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 5.6. A treatment-response function (P= 0.0713) of seed yield vs rainfall pH was y +7.35+ 0.56x and had a correlation coefficient of 0.84. Seed yields of the Williams cultivar were not affected by rainfall acidity. In both cultivars the daily, short duration rainfall regimen resulted in significantly lower yields compared with the twice weekly, longer duration rainfalls. The major portion of the differences in seed yield can be accounted for by the observed differences in number of pods per plant.

We adopt the two-phase model of Margolis (1983) in which the modified nondimensional activation energy Δ of the reaction is large, but finite, and in which the limiting component of the mixture melts during the reaction process, as characterized by a nondimensional melting parameter M. We identify several types of non-steady solution branches which bifurcate from the steady palanar solution and show that they are supercritical and stable only for certain realistic ranges of M. For example, the spinning modes, though supercritical and stable for a range of M > 0, are subcritical and unstable for M = 0.

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 1985/07// VL - 43 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 197 EP - 215 SN - 00102202 AB - The reaction rate of a heterogeneous, or diffusion-limited, reaction in a solid combustible mixture, sub seq uent to melting of one of the reactants, is proportional to exp[ - m(1- Y)](l- y)-n exp( - [etilde]/[ttilde]), where Y is the unreacted fraction and r is the temperature. We exploit the largeness of the activation energy Eto derive an asymptotic model for the propagation of a reaction front through such a mixture. The analysis parallels a similar study of homogeneous condensed combustion (Margolis, 1983), in which the reaction rate both before and after melting is proportional to Y exp( - [etilde]/[ttilde]). We derive formulas for the propagation speed of a steady planar reaction front, as well as present the asymptotic model for nonsteady, non planar combustion. This model is identical in form to that obtained from a special limiting case of the homogeneous problem. Thus, the well-known loss of stability of the stead y planar solution for sufficiently large values of a modified activation energy parameter, and the bifuraction to va rious pulsating and spinningmodes of propagation, is essentially unchanged from that predicted for homogeneous condensed combustion (Margolis et al.,1985). Con sequently, this nonsteady instability is attributable to the more highly nonlinear Arrhenius dependence on temperature for large activation energies, and is independent of the functional dependence of the reaction rate on Y.

The case considered is the potential degradation of water quality due to coal mining activity in the Flathead River drainage system, Montana. Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater body of water in the Western United States, with an average width of 6.5 miles and length of 28 miles. The North Fork of the Flathead River flows 58 miles from the Canadian border to the lake and forms the western boundary of Glacier National Park; the middle fork is 100 miles in length and forms the southern boundary of the park. The study area presently has high quality water suitable for fishing, boating, shoreline camping, sunbathing, and swimming. The analysis is based on data from a regional household survey of willingness to pay for water quality at the Flathead River and Lake area. Regression analysis provides a statistical estimate of the relationship between willingness to pay and distance to the study area. Total value is estimated by aggregating across households, where willingness to pay declines with distance.

The responses of the models to a simple scenario (uniform growth increase of all trees as a response to CO[sub2] enrichment) include increases in biomass that are considerably less than the increases in growth rate of the trees. These simulations and more general discussion of the possible effects of increased photosynthetic production identify the problem of scaling-up small time-scale and space-scale measurements of plant responses to CO[sub2] enrichment to the ecosystem level.

Jump conditions for the fluid variables, as well as an expression for the flame speed, are obtained from an asymptotic analysis of the detailed structure of the flame. The model is applied to investigate the linear stability of steady plane flames in the presence of heat loss to the flameholder. Stable flames exist only if the inflow velocity is sufficiently lower than the adiabatic flame speed, and then only in a certain regime of the parameters: Lewis number, heat release, and heat loss.

Often a simple model is sufficient for presenting the essential features of a situation or system to decision makers. Information can be integrated to show the whole picture and to identify trade-offs that will dominate during system and component design. A simple model of a BMD system can be used in this way and can also be used as a straightforward introduction to the subject. The possibility that an effective BMD system might be feasible has raised hopes for an alternative to the nuclear strategy of balance of terror. Current BMD thinking is focused on a layered defense, a succession of independent systems that, working in sequence, reduce an enemy threat either to zero or to a very small fraction of what it was initially. A substantial research and development program is being proposed to determine the feasibility of this type of defense.

Vertical profiles of a fluorescence depression index (FDI) and of the CFC for reservoir phytoplankton showed that nearsurface photoinhibition of fluorescence properties occurred in association with high surface irradiance and weak vertical mixing of the water column. To charcterize the time scales of photochemical and photosynthetic responses to and recovery from exposure to supraoptimal light intensity, phytoplankton IVF responses and ???C-fixation rates were measured in field experiments. Phytoplankton chlorophyll IVF, CFC, and photosynthetic [SUP14]C-fixation were rapidly (20-40 mm) depressesd when reservoir phytoplankton were exposed to surface irradiances (1700-2000 μE m[SUP-2],s[SUP-1]) Light-mediated increases in the FDI declined rapidly (20-40 min) to pre-exposure levels during a subsequent lo-light (75-200 μE m[SUP-2],s[SUP-1]) period, but CFC and [SUP14]C fixation recovered more slowly (>40 min). Exposure of reservoir phytoplankton to a light-intensity gradient revealed both intensity and time thresholds for IVF and CFC depression. Phytplankton photochemical responses to bright light operate on time scales that, in conjuction with vertical mixing, should limit the occurrence of photoinhibition of phytoplankton productivity occurs less commonly than is indicated by fixed-depth incubation measurements.

The method is applied to the problem of deflagration underneath a column-supported storage tank, idealized by a horizontal slice across the column array. Dimensions of the model problem are scaled down to expedite the computation. Numerical simulations confirms that distributed obstacles can accelerate a flame to many times its nominal speed. The results show that obstacles' cross-sectional area and separation distance are important factors in determining flame acceleration. The specific distribution of obstacles can also affect the speed of the flame, though not as much as the obstacles' size. The primary mechanism of flame acceleration in this study appears to be the aerodynamic effect due to obstruction of the flow. Also, the fastest moving flame branches are those propagating along line of-sight paths between the obstacles. The rate of flame propagation along each flame branch is controlled predominantly by the local flame and flow characteristics. The implication of these findings on the design of liquefied gaseous fuel (LGF) storage facilities are discussed.

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 1986/01// VL - 44 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 288 SN - 00102202 AB - Optical methods for particle size distribution measurements in practical high temperature environments have achieved feasibility and offer significant advantages over conventional sampling methods. The present paper describes a mobile electro-optical system which has been designed for general use in a wide range of research and industrial environments. The instrument has demonstrated capability for measuring individual particles in the size range 0.25-100 microns at number densities up to 1012/m3.- The system incorporates an in situ alignment procedure that is easy to set up and use in a wide variety of research and industrial environments. In addition to demonstration of the system's wide dynamic range, we show the utility of the in situ alignment method in hot (1100 K) turbulent flows where beam steering can be a problem. A major focus of the work described here is the application of the particle sizing technique to measurements of flyash formation in laboratory reactors. Number and mass frequency distribution measurements of flyash and pulverized coal obtained in a turbulent and a laminar flow reactor show that the raw pulverized coal contains large numbers of submicron particles similar to the flyash formed after combustion. These results suggest another source for much of the submicron flyash formed in pulverized combustion, with significant implications for control of fine particle emissions.

This paper reports an analysis that evaluates strategies involving either a conventional coal facility or one of three technologies not currently available commercially. A key issue is whether the perceived advantages of the new technologies are worth the risks of not having, the generation capacity early enough to meet load growth. The analysis evaluates strategies using several BGE objectives, including customer cost, shareholder return, corporate image, health and safety, and feasibility. These objectives are combined by means of an evaluation function that uses corporate value tradeoffs elicited first from analysts in the Generation Planning Unit and then refined in interviews with five BGE senior executives. Uncertainties addressed in the analysis include load growth, time when a new technology becomes available, and construction and licensing delay. The analysis is partially based on preliminary input information, but designed tor iterative use incorporating better information. The computer for the model has been transferred to BGE to be used to provide insists into technology choice problems.

Recent trends in cause-specific mortality suggest a distinct new stage, oneof postponement of degenerative diseases. The use of alternative mortality projection models has demonstrated that even small changes in assumptions can produce relatively large differences in projections of life expectancy. Projections based on these data must be applied cautiously; theirimplication for health and social policies are likely to be profound. (Journal abstract, edited.)

The model describes the various processes that occur during devolatilization and combustion in the boundary layer between the particle surface and the bulk gas stream. Global reaction rates are used in the gas phase, with light and heavy volatiles represented by methane and benzene. Although the model was developed for a two-dimensional treatment. one-dimensional simulations are shown to yield meaningful results at low particle Reynolds numbers. Simulations indicate that the region of homogeneous volatiles combustion may extend for several particle diameters, implying that flame sheet approximations are not applicable during devolatilization. Parametric studies indicate that particle heating is dominated by homogeneous volatiles combustion for large particles and by heterogeneous reaction for small particles.

The experiment described herein was performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory to determine the effects of simulated rainfalls of pH 5.6, 4.4, 4.1 and 3.3 on seed yields of four cultivars of field grown soybeans. (Glycine max Merrill). Soybeans were chosen because previous results suggested that certain varieties of this crop are sensitive to rainfall acidity and because they are an economically important crop in the United States. Sixteen plots per treatment were used. Plants were grown using standard agronomic practices under automatically moveable rainfall exclusion shelters which minimized changes in the plants' microclimate. Soybeans of cv. Amsoy shielded from ambient rainfalls and exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 4.4, 4.1 and 3.3 exhibited yields that were 11'5, 10'4 and 11-7 %, respectively, below those of plants exposed to rain of pH 5.6. The comparable figures for other cultivars were as follows: Asgrow 3127-14.5, 12-2 and 9.0% ; Corsoy-13.7, 12.7 and 7.8 %; Hobbit - 9.2, 6.2 and 16.6 %. Most of the observed decreases in seed mass per plant and per unit area for these four cultivars appear to have resulted from a corresponding decrease in pod number per plant.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 1986/04/18/ VL - 232 IS - 4748 M3 - Article SP - 356 EP - 361 SN - 00368075 AB - A strong interaction between the solar wind and comet Giacobini-Zinner was observed oh 11 September 1985 with the Los Alamos plasma electron experiment on the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) spacecraft. As ICE approached an intercept point 7800 kilometers behind the nucleus from the south and receded to the north, upstream phenomena due to the comet were observed. Periods of enhanced electron heat flux from the comet as well as almost continuous electron density fluctuations were measured. These effects are related to the strong electron heating observed in the cometary interaction region and to cometary ion pickup by the solar wind, respectively. No evidence for a conventional bow shock was found as ICE entered and exited the regions of strongest interaction of the solar wind with the cometary environment. The outer extent of this strong interaction zone was a transition region in which the solar wind plasma was heated, compressed, and slowed. Inside the inner boundary of the transition region was a sheath that enclosed a cold intermediate coma. In the transition region and sheath, small-scale enhancements in density were observed. These density spikes may be due to an instability associated with cometary ion pickup or to the passage of ICE through cometary ray structures. In the center of the cold intermediate coma a narrow, high-density core of plasma, presumably the developing plasma tail was found. In some ways this tail can be compared to the plasma sheet in Earth's magnetotail and to the current sheet in the tail at Venus. This type of configuration is expected in the double-lobe magnetic topology detected at the comet, possibly caused by the theoretically expected draping of the interplanetary magnetic field around its ionosphere.

A dispersion relation derived by Buckmaster (1983) is used to define the neutral stability curve in the wave number vs. Lewis number plane. The nature of this curve is analyzed as the characteristic parameters of the burner and the standoff distance of the flame are varied. It is shown that the neutral stability curve may have multiple branches where pulsating flames become unstable. Depending on the parameter values, the burner may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect.

The neutron scattering densities of unlabelled DNA and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli match when RNA polymerase is isolated from cells grown in a medium containing 46% D2O and unlabelled glucose as carbon source. Their contrasts vanish simultaneously in a dialysis buffer containing 65% D2O. An expression was evaluated which allows the calculation of the degree of deuteration and match point of any E. coli protein from the D2O content of the growth medium, taking the ²H incorporation into RNA polymerase amino acids to be representative for all amino acids in E. coli proteins. The small-angle scattering results, on which the calculation of the degree of deuteration is based, were confirmed by mass spectrometric measurements.

These models take into account the changes in price at each of the spatially separated markets that would result from the increase in supply provided by the new facilities and also from the response of competing firms. Two different models of spatial competition are presented to represent the competitive market situation in which the firm's production facilities are being located. These models are formulated as variational inequalities; recent sensitivity analysis results for variational inequalities are used to develop derivatives of the prices at each of the spatially separated markets with respect to the production levels at each of the new facilities. These derivatives are used to develop a linear approximation of the implicit function relating prices to productions. A heuristic solution procedure making use of this approximation is proposed.

The model emphasizes competition for territory rather than direct competition for food, with intraspecific territorial competition increasing with population density. One among a number of theoretical results is that increased availability of food increases competition costs, and there is a symmetric effect for decreases, offering a dampening or cushioning effect on population changes in response to certain environmental changes. The approach offers a simple unification of population-territory and population-population interactions.

Laser-Doppler anemometry was used to obtain these measurements in flames which, except for the addition of alumina seed particles, were identical to 1- and 2-atmosphere flames for which comprehensive measurements of the soot volume fraction, particle size, and number density, as well as temperature, have been reported previously. The combination of the velocity results with the previous set of measurements allows us to determine the local volumetric rate of soot production, which is observed to increase with pressure.

The vortex-ring in the experiment was formed by an impulsive jet of gas exiting a thin-plate circular orifice separating a small cylindrical prechamber from the main combustion vessel. This impulsive jet was driven by a spark-ignited flame which propagates through the prechamber. The flame which exits the prechamber orifice follows in the wake of the vortex structure, and eventually overtakes it. A planar sheet of uv laser light from a Nd: YAG-pumped dye laser was used to excite fluorescence in the OH molecules produced by the flame. A two-dimensional image of the OH fluorescence was obtained with a gated image-intensified vidicon camera. The two-dimensional imaging results show the effect on the OH concentration distribution of fluid mechanic features of the vortex-ring structure: a wake flow with a shear layer, a stagnation-point flow, and a vortex core with a high rotational velocity.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1986/08// VL - 103 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 689 EP - 693 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0028646X AB - Analyses of seeds harvested from field-grown soybeans (Glycine max Merrill) demonstrated that simulated acidic rainfalls can significantly decrease total protein contents. In an experiment conducted in 1983, seed yields of plants exposed twice weekly to long duration rainfalls showed no significant differences in seed protein contents among the acidity levels tested. In contrast, significant differences in protein contents were found for seed samples from the short duration, daily rainfalls. Seeds of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH 5.6 had average protein contents of 37'9% compared with a range between 30'6 and 32.1% from plants exposed to lower pH values. Overall the protein contents of seeds of acidic rainfall treatments, expressed on a per plant basis, ranged from 23 to 34%. The results suggest that the response of soybean seed yields to acidity are affected by duration and frequency of simulated rainfalls. In the 1984 growing season, four commercial cultivars were tested under conditions of longer duration rainfalls, applied twice weekly. Significant treatment effects occurred only to the Amsoy cultivar and not to Asgrow, Corsoy or Hobbit. For the latter three cultivars the protein contents of samples were all relatively high (means were all between 35 and 39 %). The relatively low protein content of Amsoy soybeans exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 2.7 was apparently responsible for the statistical significance among treatments. These and previous results demonstrate that rainfall acidity can significantly affect protein contents of seeds of field-grown soybeans and that effects on protein content are independent of changes in plant seed yields.

Merr. cv. Davis) to simulated acid rain in the presence of ambient or less-than-ambient levels of gaseous pollution was determined in the field. Open-top chambers were used to alter the levels of gaseous pollutants. An automatic rain simulation system was used to exclude ambient rain and apply rain simulants during natural rain events. These simulations mimicked natural rain events with respect to volume, duration, intensity and frequency. In addition, the intervals between simulated and natural rain events were the same, and therefore many of the potential experimental artifacts associated with scheduled rain simulant applications in earlier research were avoided. Variables measured in the experiment included seed, oil, and protein yield, stem weight, numbers of pods and seeds, and weight per seed. There were no statistically significant rain or chamber treatment effects on the measured variables except for weight per seed and protein yield. The presence of open-top chambers, when compared with plots without chambers, caused yield variables to be reduced 15 to 20%. There was no evidence to suggest that the response to rain acidity was affected by exposure to ambient or less-than-ambient levels of gaseous pollution.

The topic of the meeting was Beyond Online Retrieval: Value-Added Post Processing. Approximately 60 attendees heard a number of system developers describe their post-processing activities. It was apparent from the number of new products discussed at the conference that post processing is seen as a potentially profitable activity by a growing number of companies. Whether it is integrating in-house generated information with online search results, or using desktop publishing software to enhance the results of database searching, post processing is becoming an important part of many organizations' daily operations.

There was a significant positive correlation between nearest-neighbour distance and combined canopy cover for both within- and between-species comparisons, illustrating the importance of competition in the spacing of trees. (2) To verify the findings of the nearest-neighbour analysis experimentally, the response to removal of neighbouring trees was examined for A. nilotica. Those trees whose neighbours within a 5 m radius were removed showed a significant increase in both stem diameter increment and shoot extension when compared with control trees. (3) Seedling establishment relative to canopy cover was examined in both A. nilotica and A. tortilis communities. Two 'types' of species were apparent: (i) seedling establishment associated with under-canopy environments, and (ii) seedling establishment restricted to open or between-canopy environments. (4) To examine the relationship between the spatial pattern of trees, soil moisture and nutrient availability, the slope of the regression between nearest-neighbour distance and combined canopy cover of the nearest-neighbour pair was compared with both available water capacity and total exchangeable bases for nine A. tortilis sites. There was a significant positive relationship between slope of the nearest-neighbour regression and both available water capacity and total exchangeable bases.

Among the many forecasting approaches available are the economic cost model and the diffusion model. Separately, each of these approaches has been used in many applications of market penetration forecasting. In this article, A.P.S. Teotia and P. S. Raju briefly review these two approaches and then describe a methodology for forecasting market penetration using both of these approaches sequentially. They illustrate this approach with an example of market penetration forecasting for energy-efficient electric motors. A combination approach, which incorporates the strengths of two or snore approaches, may be superior in many instances to the use of any one approach alone. INSET: BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

Among them are system economy and resource demands, search speed, and the revision rate of files. While undeniably important for practical success, these issues are not significantly different from the corresponding problems (warehousing and printing costs, subject indexing, and change-page distribution) of traditional technical publishing. Electronic publication in online databases, however, also poses challenging philosophical issues. These issues extend beyond system mechanics to the basic conceptual assumptions and distinctions that underlie online text delivery. Analysis of these underlying distinctions proves just as crucial as attention to engineering issues for properly assessing the adequacy of online publishing schemes, yet popular accounts often neglect them. This paper explores three of these conceptual distinctions: the tools-goals distinction, the actual-virtual (features) distinction, and, more elaborately, the layout-logical (structure) distinction.

The authors present a theory of landscape ecology that employs a hierarchical paradigm of pattern and behavior. Landscape ecology is motivated by a need to understand the development and dynamics of pattern in ecological phenomena. Landscapes develop as the components of pattern. The complexity of landscape pattern is organized such that the component events and patches occur at characteristic scales that are positively correlated in time and space. Vegetation patterns can be resolved on different scales. Hierarchy theory is concerned with systems that have a certain type of organized complexity. The authors constructed a four-level hierarchy to represent a forest. The authors consider man's influence on the characteristic scales of landscape phenomena.

JO - Clinical & Experimental Immunology JF - Clinical & Experimental Immunology Y1 - 1987/02// VL - 67 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 447 EP - 453 SN - 00099104 AB - The present report deals with primary antibody responses to tetanus toxoid in 50-54-week-old ('ageing') as compared to 8-9-week-old ('young adult') mice. Antitoxin in the serum appeared 6 days earlier in the older than in the young animals, but in the latter reached 5 times higher titres on day 20. The magnitude of the proliferative response in the paracortex and the medulla of popliteal lymph nodes, as estimated by combined 3H-thymidine autoradiography and planimetry, was 3-7 limes greater in the younger than in the older age group, thus approximately reflecting the difference in antibody titres on day 20. In contrast, germinal centre formation in response to the stimulus proved to be about 14 times less in ageing than in young adult mice. The findings demonstrate that, in the model system used, the age-related slopes of decline in humoral antibody responsiveness and proliferative reactivity in paracortex and medulla of first regional lymph nodes tend lobe in parallel, while the ability of the immune apparatus to form germinal centres at this site deteriorates al a considerably faster pace. Results are also in line with the notion that centroblasts/centrocytes contribute little, if anything, to the ongoing antibody production elicited by the same stimulus which had triggered germinal centre formation. Finally, the observations made disprove the general validity of the suggestion that immune reactivity is maintained on the same level throughout life if tested with a novel antigen.

However, it is only recently that these concerns have gained recognition as separate disciplines of serious intellectual challenge. Many of the security and privacy developments can be linked directly both to the hardware and to the operating systems advances. The concepts of information security and privacy were limited to communications and were focused rather narrowly on use of physical security, of equipment shielding and of cryptographic techniques in special applications.

For the weak keys, all 16 round keys are identical and encryption is the same as decryption. For the semiweak keys, there are only two distinct round keys but no specific weakness of the DES with these keys has been demonstrated. In this paper, a subcollection of these keys, those whit a palindromic sequence of round keys, which are the weak keys, and those with an antipalindromic sequence of round keys, which are part of the semi- weak keys, are considered. The results presented hell) to identify the weaknesses of these keys. Each class of keys considered has an associated set of distinguished points. In the palindromic case, each key has 232 messages which are fixed under DES encryption. Encryption with a key having an antipalindromic sequence of round keys will yield the complement for 232 plaintext messages. Exploiting the existence of the distinguished points, an in-depth analysis of some interesting cycle structures for these keys is presented. For the weak keys, the nature of Coppersmith cycles, which always contain fixed points and are obtained by alternately encrypting with a weak key and its complement, is disclosed. For the remaining keys, the cycles obtained by repeated encryptions with the same key, appear to be small and display considerable symmetry with respect to a message and its complement. Examples of degenerate cases of all of these cycles are included.

However, it is not clear whether increased capital intensity or increased output is the relevant phenomenon A ray-homothetic production function that incorporates the capital-labor mix and fixed site geology into the scale elasticity is presented and estimated with a micro (mine level) dataset The results indicate that higher capital intensity contributes to higher RTS for some types of capital equipment, but not all. On the average increasing RTS was found, with few mines approaching optimal scale.

An asymmetric pattern of three microtubular roots, one between the two flagellar basal bodies and one on either side (here called the intermediate, dorsal, and ventral roots), is consistent within the euglenoid fiagellates studied thus far. The dorsal root is associated with the basal body of the anterior fiagellum (F[SUB1]) and lies on the left dorsal side of the basal body complex. Originating between the two fiagellar basal bodies, and associated with the basal body of the trailing fiageUum (F[SUB2]), the intermediate root is morphologically distinguished by fibrils interconnecting the individual microtubules to one another and to the overlying reservoir membrane. The intermediate root is often borne on a ridge projecting into the reservoir. The ventral root originates near the F[SUB2] basal body and lies on the right ventral side of the cell. Fibrillar connections link the membrane of F[SUB2] with the reservoir membrane at the reservoircanal transition level. A large cross-banded fiber joins the two flagellar basal bodies, and a series of smaller striated fibers links the anterior accessory and flagellar basal bodies. Large nonstriated fibers extend from the basal body complex posteriorly into the cytoplasm.

(1980) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 766, 563–569]. In the present work the block was further characterized. The following properties of BAL treatment are described. a) Inhibition of electron transport from water to lipophilic acceptors but not to silicomolybdate. b) Inhibition of the slow, sigmoidal phase of chlorophyll a fluorescence induction. c) Inability of N,N,N′,N′,-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine to bypass the inhibition of NADP+ photoreduction with water as the electron donor. d) Inhibition of electron transport from externally added quinols to NADP+. e) Inhibition of cytochrome f reduction by photosystem II, but not its oxidation by photosystem I. f) Inhibition of cytochrome b6 turnover and cytochrome f rereduction after single-turnover flash illumination under cyclic electron-flow conditions. The BAL-induced block is therefore located between the secondary quinone acceptor (QB) and the cytochrome b6 f complex. It was further found that (a) the isolated cytochrome complex is not inhibited after BAL treatment; (b) BAL-reacted plastoquinone-1 inhibits electron transport in chloroplasts; (c) BAL does not inhibit electron transport in chromatophores of Rhodospirilum rubrum or Rhodopseudomonas capsulata. It is suggested that the inhibition of electron transport in chloroplasts results from specific reaction of BAL with the endogenous plastoquinone.

Risk assessment helps set priorities for regulation of the very large numbers of chemicals that are of potential concern and helps direct limited social and government resources against the most significant risks. Although the scientific basis for risk assessment is often uncertain and the public and its representatives have often been confused by its use in regulatory decisions, the U.S. Environmental Protecion Agency currently uses a variety of risk assm ent techniques to set priorities, tailor regulations, and make decisions at particular sites. The Environmental Protection Agency also attempts to make the practice of risk assessment more consistent throughout the agency and to improve public understanding of the meaning of risk assessment and risk management.

These antisera, which are directed against the apoproteins of two chlorophyll-binding proteins (CPa-1 and CPa-2), the apoprotein of lightharvesting complex II and the 33-kDa extrinsic protein of the oxygen-evolving complex, were used to examine the light regulation of photosystem II assembly in maize. The principal findings of this study are as follows. 1. The 33-kDa protein is present in dark-grown maize and the content increases 5-10-fold upon illumination. 2. The level of the protein is mediated at least in part by phytochrome and is independent of the accumulation of chlorophyll. 3. In contrast, none of the three chlorophyll-binding proteins examined was detectable in leaves of maize grown in darkness or under other light regimes where chlorophyll does not accumulate. 4. Even in the absence of photosystem II assembly, the 33-kDa protein is properly transported across the thylakoid into the lumen. However, the protein does not attach in the normal way to the inner surface of the membrane under these conditions.

Rates of egg production were high (43 to 76 eggs female d) in October, early in the fall diatom bloom. Later, although food concentrations remained high and female size actually increased, egg production declined, presumably in response to seasonally decreasing temperatures. Carnivorous diets did not support egg production. Development time for autumn-hatched C. typicus was 33 d at 15°C, a rate that gives a Q of 2.21 when compared with the spring development rate of 49 d at 10°C. We could find no evidence of physiological adjustments being made by this copepod for overwintering. Development was not arrested at any subadult stage and resting eggs were not produced. Trends in body size of copepodid stage V, however, suggest that an overwintering strategy may be invoked by this copepod in Junuary or February.

Whether these two chromatin fractions are sequence-specific subsets of the spermatozoon genome is the question addressed in this report. Sequence-specific packaging would suggest distinct structural and functional roles for the nudeohistone and nucleoprotamine in late spermatogenesis or early development or both. After removal of histones with 0.65M NaCl, exposed DNA was cleaved with Bam HI restriction endonuclease and separated by centifugation from insoluble nucleoprotamine. The DNA sequence distribution of nucleohistone DNA in the supernatant and nucleoprotamine DNA in the peilet was compared by cloning sizeselected single-copy sequences and by using the derived dones as probes of nucleohistone DNA and nudeoprotamine DNA. Two dones derived from nudeohistone DNA preferentially hybridized to nucleohistone DNA, and two clones derived from nucleoprotamine DNA preferentiafly hybridized to nucleoprotamine DNA, which demonstrated the existence of sequence-specific nucleohistone and nucleoprotamine components within the human spermatozoon.

Thi s paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of the effects of changing mean equivalence ratio and mass loading on the fluid dynamics in the combustion chamber of a pulse combu stor. The experimental investigation used schlieren photography for flow visualization, a two-color laser Doppler velocimeter (LOY) for velocity measurements, OH* chemiluminescence for burning rate information, thermocouples for temperature measurements, and pressure transducers for time-resolved pres sure measurements as diagnostic tools. A reasonably complete mapping of the combu stion-fluid dynamics in the combustion chamber has been performed. Results from these investigations indicate the following: (a) residual combustion process serves as the ignition source of the next combustion cycle; (b) the combustor is controlled by a two-fold mixing process (one of mixing between reactants, and one between cold reactants and hot products); and (c) the combu stor operates in a stratified charge mode.

The single film model of a burning carbon particle is employed with CO as the sole heterogeneous reaction product. Arrhenius parameters which describe the chemical reaction rate coefficients are derived for the chars of a hvb-biturninous coal from Missouri, a North Dakota lignite and a high-swelling, bituminous coal from Kentucky. Gaseous environments in the temperature range 14S0 to 1550 K, having one, three and six mole-percent oxygen were employed. The measurements indicate that in the three and six mole-percent oxygen environments, the temperatures of particles in the size range 70 to 150 𝛍m exceed the local gas temperatures by as much as 150 K. The results suggest that at high particle temperatures, the chars of the coals burn in a regime in which the overall particle burning rate s are limited by the combined effects of pore diffusion and the intrinsic chemical reactivity uf the particle material. The data support burning at constant density with a decrease in particle size with mass loss. A value of 0.5 is recommended for the apparent reaction order with respect to the oxygen partial pressure for the carbon-oxygen heterogeneous reacti on.

JO - Marine Biology JF - Marine Biology Y1 - 1987/08/15/ VL - 96 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 283 EP - 292 SN - 00253162 AB - The chlorophyll specific absorption coefficient ( $$\bar k$$ ) was measured for zooxanthellae from six hermatypic coral species obtained, where possible, from four depths (1, 10, 30, 50 m) on reef sites near Discovery Bay, Jamaica in February and March 1983. Measurements of photosynthetic rates versus irradiance, as well as cellular and areal chlorophyll a, were also performed on these colonies or sister colonies. Together the data were used to compare minimum quantum requirements (1/Φ m) among species and depths and to assess the importance of light utilization to the growth and depth distribution of these corals. Our data suggest that, although $$\bar k$$ was found to decrease with depth, interspecific differences in $$\bar k$$ do not occur for zooxanthellae from the corals investigated. Minimum quantum requirements (1/Φ m) decreased significantly with depth, thereby reflecting an increase in photosynthetic light utilization efficiency with decreasing irradiance. Interspecific differences in 1/Φ m determinations were suggested but not statistically conclusive. We conclude that interspecific differences in gross photosynthesis, and perhaps growth and depth distribution, are primarily attributable to differences in the light utilization capacity of the whole coral, as reflected by the product of $$\bar k$$ and chlorophyll per unit surface area, and in-situ quantum efficiencies.

The labelled cells were re-infused i.v. and their distribution in organs/tissues was determined 20-24 hr later. As indicated by tissue 125I-activity, pulmonary lymphoblasts had a marked tendency to relocate in the lung, regional pulmonary lymph nodes and spleen. Localization of efferent CMLN lymphoblasts was greater in antigenically stimulated segments compared to unstimulated segments of the lung. Dual antigen experiments indicated that the increased localization was not specific for the antigen which stimulated production of lymphoblasts used for in vitro labelling and rein fusion. Intranodal labelling of blasts by the direct injection of [125I]UdR supported the results obtained from in vitro labelling. In these studies, comparisons were made with the localization of lymphocytes obtained from thoracic duct lymph.

Previous studies indicated that reduction of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool is the key event in kinase activation. However, we show here that, unlike PSII proteins, LHC II is phosphorylated only when the cytochrome b6f complex is active. Two lines of evidence support this conclusion. (1) 2,5-Dibromo-3-methyl-6- isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB) and the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether of iodonitrothymol (DNP-INT), which are known to block electron flow into the cytochrome complex, selectively inhibit LHC II phosphorylation in spinach thylakoids. (2) The hcf6 mutant of maize, which contains PQ but lacks the cytochrome b6f complex, phosphorylates the four PS II proteins but fails to phosphorylate LHC II in vivo or in vitro.

The model has been designed to estimate how the utility industry would respond to changes in policy or energy markets, especially in the present period of slow growth in demand and limited opportunities for expansion. By estimating the use, upgrading, retrofitting, and retirement of individual generating facilities with known geographical coordinates, the model provides the geographically detailed results needed by models of pollutant transport and other regional environmental impacts.

JO - Marine Biology JF - Marine Biology Y1 - 1988/05// VL - 98 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 181 EP - 189 SN - 00253162 AB - Concentrations of neutral organic contaminants and activities of microsomal P-450 mixed-function oxidase (MFO) were measured in the livers of the starry flounder Platichthys stellatus (Pallas), collected from more- and less-contaminated sites in San Francisco Bay, during the 1984-1985 reproductive season. Starry flounder collected at the Berkeley (Bk) site, located in the more urbanized central portion of San Francisco Bay, had greater liver concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (fluorescence equivalents of pyrene) than those collected at a site in northern San Pablo Bay (SP), where urban development is less intense and more distant. Hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity, a particular MFO, in males and in gonadally immature females fluctuated significantly from September 1984 through April 1985 with the Bk population exhibiting significantly greater activities during this period. Site differences were especially notable during the time of spawning (January-March), as AHH activities of starry flounder from SP declined and those from Bk remained elevated. These site differences appear to be due to P-450 isozymes (e.g. P-450E) whose activities are inducible by some PCBs and PAHs, as males and gonadally immature females from the two sites were not different in their hepatic AHH activities when assayed in the presence of an inhibitor of P-450E, 7,8-benzoflavone (7,8-BF). Greatly reduced hepatic AHH activities in females coincided with the onset of vitellogenesis; however, a comparison of female starry flounder bearing yolky eggs from the two sites during several successive reproductive seasons indicated significantly greater AHH activity in those caught at Bk than those from SP. There was a linear relationship between hepatic AHH activity and its inhibition by 7,8-BF in all P. stellatus assayed and more than 98% of individuals caught in San Francisco Bay had hepatic AHH activites that were suppressed by 7,8-BF. Therefore, widespread induction of hepatic microsomal P-450 by PAH-type compounds in San Francisco Bay is indicated and, further, P-450 induction is apparent in female starry flounder in a portion of San Francisco Bay during gametogenesis and the time of spawning.

During the initial explosions, material containing spent fuel enriched with noble gases and volatile nuclides of iodine, tellurium and cesium was ejected into the atmosphere. Gravitational settling of the coarser material released over the first five days dominated the deposition pattern close to the site. Scientists have used modeling results in conjunction with observations to reduce the quantities of various nuclides released from the Chernobyl reactor and their variation in time. The emissions from the Chernobyl accident cannot be compared in magnitude with the fallout to be expected from an exchange of nuclear weapons, not even after the reductions envisaged in the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The studies of the dispersion and deposition of readionuclide releases from Chernobyl have shown clearly that radionuclides may be transported over long distances and that this process can be predicted by mathematical models.

Radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions is often classified as local fallout deposited on the Earth's surface during the first 24 hours. Local fallout is projected to be more serious in terms of biological impact. It can extend many hundreds of kilometers downwind of sites targeted with nuclear ground bursts. The possible targeting of civilian and military nuclear fuel cycle facilities such as reactors, spent fuel stores, high-level waste facilities and fuel reprocessing plants has the potential of additionally contributing significantly over the long term to the burden of radioactivity on both the local and global scale. The uncertainties in these estimates can be divided into three categories: the targeting scenario, the fallout calculation models and the selected meteorological conditions. There can be additional body and organ dose from radioactivity that is carried inside the body by the ingestion of food and water contaminated by local fallout. The internal dose to an individual is sensitive to many factors that vary greatly depending on local circumstances.

JO - Journal of the American Statistical Association JF - Journal of the American Statistical Association Y1 - 1988/06// VL - 83 IS - 402 M3 - Article SP - 441 SN - 01621459 AB - Assuming a accelerated failure-time model, a method is proposed for extrapolating low stress-response probabilities on negative-sloping line segments in the stress-failure-time plane. The method (analogous to linear interpolation in dose-response studies) results in simultaneous extrapolation ahead in time and down in stress. In the two-sample (two stress level) setting, a goodness-of-fit test of the nonparametric model is considered and two hypothesis tests are proposed, each pertaining to a condition that (in addition to the assumed model) must be met for the method to be valid. The method is illustrated with censored strand-life data, and some simulated examples are used to consider power and robustness. The failure-time model is a scale family with curvature constraints. The failure probability is assumed to be a sigmoid function of the product of time and a sigmoid scaling function of stress. Time percentiles as functions of stress are assumed to be convex. The goodness-of-fit test is of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov type. Given data at stresses x[sub 1] and x[sub 2], the linear interpolation procedure requires a negative-sloping line such that (a) the failure probability increases along the line as the stress increases from x[sub 1] to x[sub 2], and (b) at the point on the line at x[sub 1] the ratio of the failure probability to time increases in time. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov hypothesis test is used to support (a), and a binomial probability test is used for (b).

Three rank tests and the usual F test are compared using asymptotic relative efficiencies (ARE's). Rank tests provide a useful alternative method of analysis when the assumptions of the F test are not met. Further, rank tests are usually more powerful than the F test when outliers are present or when the distribution of the data possesses heavy tails. The rank tests studied are Friedman's test, the aligned-ranks test, and the rank-transformation procedure. The rank-transformation test consists of ranking all of the data as one sample and then applying the usual F test to the ranks. Two main themes form the body of the article. The first theme is the development of the limiting noncentrality parameter of the rank-transformation statistic. The development uses the methods popularized by Hajek and Sidak (1967). A lemma is given that establishes the joint limiting distribution of individually asymptotically normal dependent random variables, if such a distribution exists. This lemma may have application outside the area studied here. The second theme is the evaluation of the ARE's among the four tests. Six distinct situations are analyzed. These situations are generated by selecting from several within-block densities and from several types of block effects that include location shifts and scale changes. The ARE's of the aligned-ranks test and Friedman's test relative to the usual F test are shown to be affected by the number of experimental factors, whereas the ARE of the rank-transformation procedure is not affected. Conversely, the ARE of the rank-transformation test is...

This 64-kDa protein is very rapidly labeled by [γ-32P]ATP at very low (30 nM) ATP concentrations and the phosphoryl group exhibits a high turnover rate. It was possible to establish the presence of the 64-kDa protein in this plastid compartment by using different chloroplast envelope separation and isolation techniques. In addition comparison of labeling kinetics by intact and hypotonically lysed pea chloroplasts support the localization of the 64-kDa protein in the intermembrane space. The 64-kDa protein was present and could be labeled in mixed envelope membranes isolated from hypotonically lysed plastids. Mixed envelope membranes incorporated high amounts of 32P from [γ-32P]ATP into the 64-kDa protein, whereas separated outer and inner envelope membranes did not show significant phosphorylation of this protein. Water/ Triton X-114 phase partitioning demonstrated that the 64-kDa protein is a hydrophilic polypeptide. These findings suggest that the 64-kDa protein is a soluble protein trapped in the space between the inner and outer envelope membranes. After sonication of mixed envelope membranes, the 64-kDa protein was no longer present in the membrane fraction, but could be found in the supernatant after a 110000 x g centrifugation.

It is exciting because it represents a computer/user interface that can easily exceed the interaction speed of the best text-based language editors and command languages. It also provides a consistent framework for interaction across both editing and command execution. Moreover, because programs are represented graphically, structures that do not naturally conform to the text medium can be clearly described, and new kinds of information can be incorporated into pro- grams and program elements.

Root hydraulic conductivity (Lp) per unit length was measured on excised root systems to examine the influence of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhiza inoculation, seedling size, phosphorus (P) nutrition, and biomass distribution. Fertilization with P eliminated significant differences in seedling size and dry matter distribution between mycorrhizal (M) and non-mycorrhizal (NM) seedlings, but VA mycorrhizas increased root and leaf P concentration. Root Lp was similar in M and NM seedlings of similar size, and was lower in M seedlings for a given root P concentration. Root Lp decreased with age and weight, and increased as the proportion of dry weight in the leaves increased in both M and NM seedlings. Mycorrhizal colonization had no significant effect on root Lp in the absence of a significant growth response.

Many have multiple competencies which, along with their strong reliance on technologies, make it difficult for them to develop long-lasting, much less permanent, professional identities. The article explores the role, value, and qualities of labels in establishing professional identity and observes that labels can serve well only if common definitions of competencies prevail. The authors conclude that formal education is the key to unifying the information profession thus assuring that its practitioners will have a common focus with which to identify.

When the latex was centrifugated at 5000 g for 15 mm, this biosynthetic activity could be subdivided into two separate fractions: the acetate to β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A activity remained in the supernatant, while the β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A to triterpenol activity was pelleted. Further purification of the pellet by isopycnic centrifugation on Percoll gradients yielded at least three particles: latex particles, starch grains, and a single membrane-bound organelle. Electron micrographs were made of all of these latex particles. The single membrane-bound organelle was only observed in the region of the density gradient that exhibited the ability to incorporate mevalonic acid into the triterpenoids. In addition, the enzyme β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (EC 1.1.1.34) was found in the 5000 g pellet, while β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A lyase (EC 4.1.3.4) remained in the super- natant.

The physiological significance of this stress-induced C2H2 is not resolved. Because exogenous C2H2 can induce changes in foliar gas exchange in a variety of plant species, we tested the hypothesis that the endogenous production of stress C2H2 due to the representative environmental stress of ozone (O3) is linked to observed changes in stomatal conductance to water vapour (gsH2o) and carbon dioxide assimilation (A) in Glicine max (L.) Merr. This objective was accomplished using seedlings in hydroponic culture which were administered aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), a metabolic inhibitor of stress C2H2 synthesis, and subsequently challenged with O3. The responsiveness to O2 stress of gsH2o and A was either substantially diminished (A) or eliminated gsH2o when stress C2H2 production in the leaf interior was metabolically inhibited by AVG. These data support the hypothesis that the rapid surge in production of stress C2H2 in response to chronic-level stresses in general and O2 specifically is not simply an indicator of the plant's physiological activity but rather is a chemical messenger or trigger that subsequently mediates some of the notable changes in carbon gain, stomatal physiology, and water use.

Fibrous (≤ 1 mm diameter) root length increased across the chronosequence, with the greatest length occurring in the prairie remnant. After an initial increase between the second and fifth growing seasons, the percentage of fibrous roots colonized by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi declined. However, this decline did not truly reflect the mycorrhizal association in this system because the length of fibrous roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi did not decrease after the fifth growing season but instead remained essentially constant throughout the remainder of the chronosequence. Evaluation of the data by fibrous root size classes indicated that increases in root length and colonized root length occurred largely in the smaller size class (< 0.2 mm diameter); in contrast, percentage colonization and the density of intraradical fungal structures was greater in the larger size class (0.2- 1 mm diameter). The importance of thoroughly evaluating responses of mycorrhizal fungi relative to host responses was demonstrated in a field situation.

As dynamical variables we introduce the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), antiballistic missile systems (ABMs) and anti-ABM systems such as antisatellite weapons (ASAT) of each of the two sides. The time evolution of these systems (arms race) is simulated numerically under various parameter assumptions (scenarios). The a priori unpredictability of human decisions is simulated through random fluctuations of the buildup parameters. The results of our idealized model indicate that for most parameter combinations, the introduction of SDI systems leads to an extension of the offensive arms race rather than a transition to a defense-dominated strategic configuration. A reduction in the number of offensive weapons, that is, an approach to a defense-dominated strategy, was observed if either the number of reentry vehicles per ICBM (MIRV) is limited to much smaller values than presently realized or if the accuracy of offensive weapons is significantly reduced. For the case of a strongly accelerated arms buildup (either offensive or defensive), we observe a loss of stability of the solutions that we interpret as a transition to unpredictable chaos. We also incorporate a discussion of economic and risk parameters, both of which also tend to increase with the introduction of SDI systems.

We have shown that the first radio-labeled product of assimilation of [sup13]NH[sub4,sup+] (t[sub1/2] = 10 min) was glutamine in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana (Hustedt). When GS-GOGAT was inhibited with methionine sulfoximine, the incorporation of radioactivity into both glutamine and glutamate was blocked, implying that the radio lobeled glutamate is formed from glutamine. Glutamine was also the first labeled product when the intracellular concentration of ammonium was elevated by preincubation with unlabeled ammonium.

It is based on a Bayesian approach, intended to be as objective as possible. A probability distribution is first assigned to the dependent variable through the specification of a family of prior distributions for the unknown parameters in the regression model. The method is not fully Bayesian, however, because the ultimate choice of prior distribution from this family is affected by the data. It is assumed that the predictors represent distinct observables; the corresponding regression coefficients are assigned independent prior distributions. For each regression coefficient subject to deletion from the model, the prior distribution is a mixture of a point mass at 0 and a diffuse uniform distribution elsewhere, that is, a "spike and slab" distribution. The random error component is assigned a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation σ, where ln(σ) has a locally uniform noninformative prior distribution. The appropriate posterior probabilities are derived for each submodel. If the regression coefficients have identical priors, the posterior distribution depends only on the data and the parameter y, which is the height of the spike divided by the height of the slab for the common prior distribution. This parameter is not assigned a probability distribution; instead, it is considered a parameter that indexes the members of a class of Bayesian methods. Graphical methods are proposed as informal guides for choosing 7, assessing the complexity of the response function and the strength of the individual predictor variables, and assessing the ° of uncertainty about the best submodel. The following plots against &γ; are suggested: (a) posterior probability that a particular regression coefficient is 0; (b) posterior...

JO - Journal of the American Statistical Association JF - Journal of the American Statistical Association Y1 - 1988/12// VL - 83 IS - 404 M3 - Article SP - 1192 SN - 01621459 AB - Plotting order statistics versus some variant of the normal scores is a standard graphical technique for assessing the assumption of normality. To obtain an objective evaluation of the normal assumption, it is customary to calculate the correlation coefficient associated with this plot. The Shapiro-Francia statistic is the square of the correlation between the observed order statistics and the expected values of standard normal order statistics, whereas the Shapiro-Wilk statistic also involves the covariances of the standard normal order statistics. In a wide variety of applications, an investigation of the plausibility of the normal (or lognormal) model is needed when the observations on strength or life length are right-censored. The plotting procedure still applies if the observations are censored at a fixed order statistic or a fixed time. Here, the corresponding distribution theory for some modified versions of the Shapiro-Wilk correlation statistic is investigated. Because the asymptotic theory used in this article shows a surprisingly slow rate of convergence even for complete samples, a table of critical values based on a Monte Carlo study is provided. Results from an empirical power study are also presented. Finally, large-sample critical values are obtained and compared with the Monte Carlo values.

The existing, conventional world-view utilized within discrete simulation is reviewed. A construct is presented that makes existing discrete simulation world-views more robust for problems involving endogenous decision-making. The use of knowledge bases and inference engines as mechanisms for modeling such decision making is presented.

Net photosynthesis (PN) and stomatal conductance to H2O vapour (gs.H2O) were measured in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr cv. Davis) seedings after a 4 h exposure to one of a range of exogenous C2H4 concentrations (0-20 μl l-1) in a controlled environment system. Declines in both PN and gs.H2O shifted from first-order (linear decline) to zero-order (saturation response) with increasing C2H4 concentration. The response of gs.H2O to C2H4 was more pronounced than the response of PN with maximal declines for gs.H2O> of 32-48% and half-maximal response at 0.15 μl l-1. Corresponding parameters for PN were 18-29% inhibition and half-maximal response at 0.35 μl l-1. Both response curves were similar to those documented for C2H4 binding and for hormonally mediated C2H4 actions. Kinetic analysis of the saturation patterns by the Hill equation showed both responses to be ultrasensitive, i.e. they provide a relatively large change in gas exchange for a small change in C2H4 concentration. Based on this ultrasensitivity, we propose that endogenous stress C2H4 mediates some of the responsiveness of gas exchange to environmental stresses of natural and anthropogenic origin.

Ozone exposures (14 or 170 nl l-1) were made in open-top chambers, and in continuously stirred tank reactors (14, 160 or 320 nl-1) located in the field and laboratory, respectively. The CERs of whole shoots were measured in an open infrared gas analysis system at 6 levels of photosynthetic photon flux density (0.33, 60, 410, 800 and 1660 μmol m-2 s-1). Treatment effects were not consistent between field- and laboratory-exposed seedlings. Ozone-treated field seedlings exhibited statistically significant reductions in light-saturated CER of 12.5 and 25% when measured at 6 and 13 weeks, respectively. Laboratory seedlings exhibited mixed responses to O3, with one family showing reduced CER only after 6 weeks of O3 exposure and the other only after 13 weeks (O3 > 160 nl l-1 for both). After 13 weeks of exposure, pH 3.3, and 4.5 rain treatments enhanced light-saturated CER by an average of 52% over that observed in seedlings exposed to the pH 5.2 treatment. Enhanced CERs due to acid rain were of the same magnitude (3-5 μmol CO2 g-1s-1)as ozone-induced CER reductions. No differences in dark respiration were detected between treatments. Although ozone and acid rain treatments altered seedling CER, the differences were not translated into altered final plant dry weights over the 13-week exposure period.

The inverse transformation, induction variable substitution, can a!so speed up loops by decreasing register requirements, although it is typically a normalizing step in the detection of array dependences by parallelizing compilers. This paper presents a simple framework for performing these transformations. In contrast to previous approaches to strength reduction, no unnecessary temporary variables or dead code fragments are introduced, only relevant intermediate language fragments are examined, iteration test replacement is not handled as a special case, and the execution time of the target code is never increased. The method is particularly easy to visualize, making it a useful teaching tool as well.

MN9 to determine the relationship between carbon partitioning and photosynthetic rate. Relative height growth rate of coppice shoots was 2.2 times that of intact shoots with net photosynthetic rate 1.9 times that of intact shoots. Coppice leaves exported a larger proportion of newly-fixed assimilate (11% compared with 6%) after a 4-h chase. The greater export from coppice leaves was correlated with a greater proportion of [14C]-labelled photosynthate deposited as starch in stems 4 cm below the point of label application. Coppice leaf assimilate levels were reduced to 15% that of leaves on intact plants, but coppice leaves had twice the concentration of labelled sucrose. Carbohydrates constituted 55% of the water-soluble [14C]-labelled photosynthate in leaves of coppice shoots compared with 40% in intact shoots. The results suggest that carbon allocation and partitioning in coppice shoots were altered towards production and export of new assimilate, and support the hypothesis that photosynthetic rate is responsive to sink demand for assimilates.

We used a kinetic approach to examine the specific factors which account for these changes in optical properties as cells photoadapt. Using Triton X-100 to solubilize membranes, we were able to differentiate between "package" effects and pigmentation effects. Our analyses suggest that 43-49% of the variability in a[SUP*] is due to changes in pigmentation, whereas 51-57% is due to the "package" effect Further analyses revealed that changes in cell size did not significantly affect packaging, while thylakoid stacking and the transparency of thylakoid membranes were important factors. Our results suggest that thylokoid membrane protein/lipid ratios change during photoadaplation, and these changes influence the effective rate of light harvesting per unit chlorophyll a.

Field experiments on worms in the Santa Barbara Channel, California (USA), in 1986 revealed more negative δC values (to-19%.) when oil and kelp were added to sediments. The more negative values suggest the incorporation of oil carbon into worm tissues, supporting previous indications of the importance of hydrocarbons in food webs near oil seeps.

Additions of nitrogen and phosphorus to the soil increased plant growth, indicating that the unfertilized plants were nutrient deficient. Despite the nutrient deficiency, the plants grown in elevated concentrations of CO2 generally were larger than those in ambient CO2, but dry weight data from harvests at 5, 12, 24, and 36 weeks provided insufficient evidence of an effect of CO2 because of the high variability associated with the recurrently-flushing habit of these seedlings. Mathematical growth analysis based on periodic non-destructive measurements allowed comparisons of the continuous growth patterns of the plants and avoided the problems of ontogeneitc variation. CO2 enrichment was thus shown to increase plant growth rate primarily through increased unit leaf rate rather than increased leaf area production. Unit leaf rate during the second half of the experiment was 22 and 27% higher in the medium and high concentrations of CO2 compared with that in low CO2. Instantaneous measurements of foliar gas exchange also showed that CO2 assimilation increased with CO2 enrichment. The most pronounced effect of CO2 enrichment was increased water-use efficiency, which was shown both through whole-plant gravimetric analysis and instantaneous gas exchange measurements. Whole-plant water-use efficiency for the duration of the experiment was increased by 52 and 82% by the mdiurn and high concentrations of CO2. Limitations of resources, including water and nutrients, do not preclude plant growth responses to CO2 enrichment of the atmosphere.

Anti-toxin titres of mouse scrum were measured and compared with proliferative reactions in popliteal lymph nodes, based on combined ³H-thymidine autoradiography and planimetry, as a function of time. FTT in complex with HGG in ABEX failed to elicit a measurable anti-toxin response but caused, of all the materials tested. the most marked numerical increase of germinal centres. This finding is in accord with results of earlier studies indicating that the same heterologous antigen-antibody complexes at EQ or in ABEX can prime the animals, usually without eliciting antibody production detectable by serum titration. The model system used in the present experiments is thus well suited for a separation of the two principal arms of the dichotomous humoral immune response, i.e. by inducing germinal centre and B cell memory development but not specific antibody formation.

The two subunit proteins (55 and 33 kDa) have been characterized chemically. Computer searches with partial amino acid sequences obtained from both subunits show that the larger subunit belongs to the cytochrome oxidase subunit I protein family while the smaller covalently hemebinding subunit is not a cytochrome c1 but appears to be a fused protein between cytochrome c and cytochrome oxidase subunit II.With respect to the 16-S rRNA-derived phylogeny of procaryotes, the results show that the genetic information for an O2-reacting cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) existed already in early bacteria.

Factors influencing the acceptance of bribes include: the probability of being convicted, severity of punishment, government salary relative to private sector income, the demonstration effect, and the unemployment rate. Our results indicate that higher probability of being convicted discourages the acceptance of bribes as does more severe punishment. Low relative earnings, high unemployment, and the demonstration effect of aggregate advertising all lead to increased bribe taking.

JO - Applied Economics JF - Applied Economics Y1 - 1989/08// VL - 21 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1029 PB - Routledge SN - 00036846 AB - The Hood River Conservation Project, a major demonstration sponsored by the Bonneville Power Administration, sought to retrofit all the electrically heated homes in Hood River, Oregon. A two-stage approach was used to analyse electricity use and savings for programme participants and for homes in two comparison communities. The first stage converted each year of household monthly electricity billing data into an estimate of weather-adjusted annual electricity use. The second stage pooled these estimates across households and years to develop multivariate regression models of household electricity use.
Electricity use before HRCP began (20 000 kWh/year in 1982/83) was far below planning estimates at the time. Measured reductions in electricity use among participants averaged 2900 kWh, much less than predicted during the energy audits. The combination of low pre-HRCP electricity use and modest savings led to very low levels of post-HRCP usage, below amounts experienced in typical new home construction. The pooled cross-section/time-series models estimated net (HRCP-induced) electricity savings of 2300 kWh, less than the 2900 kWh total savings cited above. A simple comparison of HRCP costs with measured reductions in electricity use suggests that the Project was not cost effective. However, the experimental nature of the Project implies that assessment of benefits and costs be approached with caution.

A sharp measure of geometrical error based on multiparametric decomposition is used to obtain a subset of the noninferior objective vectors distributed over the entire noninferior set. The deviation of the approximate representation from the exact noninferior set in the objective space can be controlled by specifying the maximum possible deviation. The algorithm attempts to select each additional noninferior objective vector to be included in the approximation to reduce the deviation as quickly as possible.

Nitrate limited chemostats were maintained at nine dilution rates, ranging from 0.18-0.96 d[SUP-1], under continuous irradiance levels of 175 μmole quanta m[SUP-2] s[SUP-1], an irradiance level which saturated photosynthesis at all growth rates. Nitrogen limitation led to an overall reduction in pigmentation and a decrease in the cellular concentration of reaction centers; however, the optical absorption cross section, normalized to Chl a, increased. Moreover, Chl c/a ratios were higher in nitrogen-limited cells; the change in Chl c/a ratios were correlated with an increase in the functional size of Photosystem II. Both light saturated photosynthetic rates normalized per cell and specific respiratory losses were positively linearly correlated with growth rate. Light saturates photosynthetic rates normalized to Chl a remained relatively insensitive to the rate of nitrogen supply the minimum quantum requirement for gross photosynthetic oxygen evolution increased from 12.4 to 17.0 quanta / O[SUB2] At the growth irradiance, the quantum requirement increased 88% from 19.9 to 37.5 quata / O[SUB2] photosynthesis, / respiration ratios remained relatively constant at dilution rates greater than 35% of the maximum relative growth rate. Consequently, net growth efficiency, defined as the ratio of the specific growth rate, μ, to specific gross photosynthesis, p. also remained relatively constant over this range of growth rates overaging 85 ± 3%.

The proteins included Photosystem I reaction center (RCI) chlorophyll protein, CPI; Photosystem II reaction enter (RC II) protein, D 1: two chlorophyll a-binding apoprotein, CP 43 and CP 47; 33 Kda oxygen evolving protein, OEC 33; α subunit of couling factor, CF 1 α large (LSU) and small subunits (SSU) of ribulose 1.5-bisphophae carboxylase, RUBixCO; the chlorophyll a/c/ fucoxanthin protein complex, LHCP; and cytochrome b[SUB6]/f. Seven of the ten protein complexes are encoded in the chloroplast, two are encoded in the nucleus and one shares chloroplast and unclear genomes. Over the rage of dilution rates (0.96- 0.18 d[SUP-1]) cell N decreased 42% and cellular chlorophyll a decreased 50% however, the stochimometric proportion of RC II: cytochrome b[SUB6] /f: RC I remained constant, averaging 1:3.3:.8. In constrast, RuBisCO/ PS II decreased by 58%. The light harvesting chlorophyll a/c/ fucoxanthign protein complex increased relative to RC II: however, as cells became more nitrogen limited the fraction of total cell nitrogen contained in RuBisCo decreased from 21.3 to 6.7% whereas that of the light harvesting complex remained relatively constant, averaging 6.8% Our results generally support the hypothesis that in nitrogen limited cells, protein encoded in the nuclear gnome are synthesized preferentially over those encoded in the chloroplast.

Based on HDL subclass profiles determined prior to I, infants fell into 2 classes, one with 2 or more pronounced peaks within the normal HDL spectrum and the other with unusual HDL distribution. Total plasma cholesterol increased in both groups during low and high fat IV feeding and apolipoprotein AI concentrations increased significantly following I infusion. HDL cholesterol, however, showed little change in either group. Prevalence of discoidal HDL at baseline was associated with low concentrations of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). In both groups, enteral feeding was associated with a further normalization of HDL subclass distribution. It was concluded that I improved the nutritional status of neonates, stimulating increased liver synthesis of important lipoprotein-associated proteins, including apolipoprotein AI and LCAT, associated with HDL metabolism.

The procedure used information and insights from decision analyses conducted in five technical areas to support decision analysis at the portfolio level. The problem was complex because it included many combinations of studies that could be funded; multiple objectives in the five technical areas, as well as at the portfolio level; and uncertainties about research needs, the availability of technical data, and research costs. The article discusses: the rationale for using formal decision analysis, the main features of the procedure, and how the procedure provided the steering committee with a logical basis for evaluating a large number of diverse technical projects and, with the help of health and environmental experts, established research priorities and budget allocations in a logical and defensible manner.

Unlike some models in which diffusion in the axial direction is neglected, we treat the fully elliptic problem. A discrete solution is obtained by combining a steady-state and a time-dependent solution method. A time-dependent approach is used to help obtain a converged numerical solution on an initial coarse grid using a flame sheet starting estimate. Grid points are then inserted adaptively and Newton's method is used to complete the problem. We investigate both a confined coflowing and an unconfined coflowing methane-air diffusion flame and comparisons with experimental data are made.

The instantaneous image of CH4 reveal flow and mixing structure information that is lost when time-averaged point measurement techniques are used. Fuel-jet flow and mixing in turbulent-jet and bluff-body flames are characterized by large-scale irregular and lime-varying structures that engulf external fluid. Downstream of the bluff-body face, the fuel jet is stagnated and spread in the radial direction by the dynamics of the high-velocity external air flow. This stagnation process governs how fuel and air mix and subsequently combust in these flames and determines the major differences between jet and bluff-body flames. The instantaneous images were averaged to obtain mean and fluctuating quantities and probability distributions of the CH4 concentration. These time-averaged statistics are interpreted in terms of the large- and small-scale turbulence structure of these flows.

Attention is directed to why they work: schemas and building blocks, implicit parallelism, and exponentially biased sampling of the better schema. Why they fail and how undesirable behavior can be overcome is discussed. Current genetic algorithm practice is summarized. Five successful applications are illustrated: image registration, AEGIS surveillance, network configuration, prisoner's dilemma, and gas pipeline control. Three classes of problems for which genetic algorithms are ill suited are illustrated: ordering problems, smooth optimization problems, and "totally indecomposable" problems.

Tuple-versioning of relations is the adopted method of temporal data representation. New operators are necessary in order to exploit the richer semantics of temporal queries. Four types of temporal joins are determined: theta-join, time intersection, time union and the event-join. Factors that affect processing strategies are discussed, especially the problem of estimating data selectivity for various temporal operations. Strategies for implementing the temporal equijoin operator are evaluated. 26 refs., 6 tabs.

The measures, as used here, estimate the probability that an iterative algorithm using a randomly selected starting point will find a solution not observed in previous random starting points. The probability of an unobserved global maximum is less than or equal to this probability. We used these measures to evaluate the adequacy of our search procedure for the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of a mixture of two normals. These measures indicated that for most problems generated there was little chance that there were unobserved domains of convergence. Occasional problems, however, had appreciable estimated probabilities. In such problems, examination of the data suggested regions where a more focused search for unobserved domains of convergence was warranted.

Many electric utilities face the prospect over the next several years of losing a portion of their industrial load to alternative suppliers and technologies. "Bypass" has become a major concern for electric utilities. This paper first outlines the basic economic issues associated with bypass and the choices confronting regulators when bypass has begun, or is imminent, or a real possibility. It then examines different pricing options for accommodating bypass, focusing on the major features of a flexible pricing rule based on the theory of contestable markets. This rule is designed to effect optimal bypass and thereby maximize the total economic benefits of competitive forces emerging in the electric industry.

The cold hardiness of seedling was tested on October 24, January 24,and March 21 by subjecting needle samples from the first and last growth flush to temperatures of -5,-10,-15, and -20 °C and determining relative electrical conductivity of the diffusate. Seedlings exposed to twice ambient O3 levels during the growing season were less hardened in early autumn and spring than seedlings exposed to ambient or subambient levels of O3 suggesting that O3 affects the plant's hardening and dehardening processes. Ozone and soil Mg treatments had no significant effects on visible injury of shoots following freezing treatments, nor were any visible symptoms of injury due to O3 evident during the study. Water potential components of excised shoots were estimated using pressure volume analysis. Osmotic potentials became more negative over the dormant peroid, suggesting that solutes had accumulated in the cells as seedling hardened. Seedlings grown in high Mg soil had less negative osmotic potentials in January and March than those grown in Low Mg soil, suggesting that seedling in high Mg soil were more susceptible to cold temperatures,due to greater physiological activity.

JO - Marine Biology JF - Marine Biology Y1 - 1990/05/15/ VL - 106 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 59 EP - 69 SN - 00253162 AB - Reproductively active Calanus hyperboreus (Krøyer) and C. glacialis Jaschnov were captured in the upper 100 m of Fram Strait (77° to 79°N) in late winter 1987. There was no evidence of a phytoplankton bloom; chlorophyll a concentrations were uniformly low (<0.1 mg m), and nitrate concentrations were uniformly high (>11.3 mg-at m). Gut-fullness measurements indicated that females were ingesting very little. The maturation state of gonads of both C. hyperboreus and C. glacialis indicated that 75% of females were in a ripe condition consistent with observed egg laying. The lipid content of females laying eggs was reduced in both species compared to that of females not laying eggs. In C. hyperboreus the reduction was 39% and in C. glacialis it was 44%. All the evidence suggests that both C. hyperboreus and C. glacialis were laying eggs in late winter by using lipids stored previously; they were not relying on ambient concentrations of phytoplankton. The daily rate of egg laying by C. glacialis using lipids in late winter exceeded the rate reported for summer when ambient food supplies have been shown to be necessary. It is suggested that individuals, spawned well in advance of the spring bloom of phytoplankton, may comprise a major portion of the annual recruitment to the entire population of C. glacialis in this area, and that their life cycle can be completed within 1 yr. Neither Metridia longa (Lubbock) nor C. finmarchicus (Gunnerus) laid eggs during this study.

The relatively rare articles on hashing functions themselves tend to discuss algorithms that operate on values of predetermined length or that make heavy use of operations (multiplication, division, or shifts of long bit strings) that are absent from the instruction sets of smaller microprocessors. Two desirable properties of this algorithm for hashing variable-length strings derive from the technique of cryptographic checksums or message authentication codes, from which it is adapted. First, a good cryptographic checksum ensures that small changes to the data result In large and seemingly random changes to the checksum. In the hashing adaptation, this results in good separation of very similar strings. The purpose of any text hashing function is to take text strings, even very similar text strings and map them onto integers that are spread as uniformly as possible over the intended range of output values. In the absence of prior knowledge about the strings being hashed, a perfectly uniform output distribution cannot be expected.

This paper describes issues raised in designing revenue-neutral incentive policies to achieve these goals. Such policies involve charging fees in proportion to undesirable characteristics. The fees pay for the rebates and for any administrative costs of the program. This paper analyzes the conceptual issues raised in designing such incentive policies to correct for externalities and to promote the efficiency of buildings and automobiles. The paper examines the nature and importance of externalities, presents the rationale for revenue-neutral incentive policies, and describes six revenue-neutral incentive programs for achieving these goals. In addition, it analyzes the criteria that one should use in determining the size of fees and rebates, in light of the large uncertainties. Finally, the paper addresses key implementation issues.

The market scenarios were characterized by a substantial loss of exports from the Persian Gulf region. The hypothetical disruptions resulted in substantially higher prices and reduced in substantially higher prices and reduced supply and demand of refined products, especially fuels for transportation. Oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve mitigated the impacts, though the International Energy Agency's oil sharing agreement was not a factor.

The inputs to RCIP include parameters (discount rate, tax rate, and supply elasticity), expected oil prices, and process model output. The process model output consists of capital costs, operating costs, and production levels for 31 regions. For each region and year, RCIP calculates expected profits and forecasts the level of reserve additions. Two production profiles relate reserve additions to future oil production. The parameters in the model were estimated using data for 1970 to 1986. Results are presented for two sets of prices: high and low. For the period from 1987 to 1010, the cumulative production of oil increases by 64 percent from the low case to the high case, while the cumulative additions to proven reserves increase by more than a factor of three.

However, because the substitution is costly and the reduction of ozone precursor emissions is relatively small, using methanol raises questions about cost effectiveness. This study demonstrates that the air quality benefits would be very expensive: The cost effectiveness usually would exceed tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per ton of reduced volatile organic compound emissions. Only if all the cost and emissions assumptions lined up favorably would be attractive only if the energy-adjusted price difference between gasoline and methanol were just a few cents of gallon.

The protein has been partially purified from human placenta. It reacts with second-order rate constants of 2.20 × 108 and 0.067 × 108 lmol-1 min-1 at 37 °C for duplex and single-stranded DNA substrates, respectively. The corresponding value for the alkylated base in synthetic poly(dC, dG, m6G) is 0.02 × 108 1 mol-1 min- 1. The native protein is monomeric with a molecular mass of 22–24 kDa. Methylation of the protein does not lead to a gross change in its conformation but causes a slight reduction in its isoelectric point of 6.2. Although DNA protects the protein from heat inactivation, both duplex and single-stranded DNAs inhibit its activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The transferase reaction rate is also strongly inhibited by salt with about 20% of the maximum rate observed in physiological ionic strength. This inhibition is nonspecific with respect to the ions of univalent salts.

Fungal isolates of Rhizopogon roseolus (Corda) Hollos and Suillus punctipes (Peck) Sing. released significant quantities of cytokinin-like substances into the culture medium. In contrast, Cenococcum geophilum (Fr.), Hebeloma crustuliniforme (Bull. ex. St. Amans) Qual., Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker and Couch, Suillus granulatus (L. ex. Fr.) O. Kuntze, and Thelephora terrestris (Ehrh.) Fr. failed to elicit a positive cytokinin response in the soybean bioassay. Purification of S. punctipes culture filtrates by cation exchange, organic solvent partitioning, and separation on Sephadex LH-20 revealed the presence of compounds with the same retention volume as zeatin and zeatin riboside. Greenhouse studies with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) indicated that, together with improved plant growth and enhanced mineral nutrition, P. tinctorius mediated a significant effect on host cytokinin relations. Cytokinin activity of extracted needles increased 44 and 30% for 12- and 14-month-old seedings, respectively, following ectomycorrhizal establishment. Axenically grown seedlings colonized by S. punctipes showed no alterations in growth, nutrition, or cytokinin concentration, compared to non-inoculated controls, even though mycorrhizal formation exceeded 30%. The ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to affect host cytokinins was not dependent upon an ability to synthesize cytokinins in pure culture. Results are discussed in relation to improved mineral nutrition, enhanced root growth, and increased short-root proliferation in the ectomycorrhizal association.

The seedlings were fumigated during the growing seasons (approximately April--October) with ozone at the following target levels: subambient (CF), ambient (AMB), and ambient +60 ppb (AMB +). At the end of the three growing seasons, no significant ozone effects on diameter, height or total biomass of the seedlings were detected, and no statistically significant ozone-family interactions were detected. Analysis of growth trends suggest that drought during the second and third growing seasons may have interacted with the ozone treatments. The importance of long-term studies under realistic field conditions is discussed.

Manufacturing energy use fell in these nations by 16 percent between 1973 and 1988 while manufacturing value-added increased by 41 percent. Reduced energy intensities in six industry groups--paper and pulp; chemicals, stone, clay, and glass; iron and steel; nonferrous metals; and other manufacturing--were the primary source of this apparent decoupling of energy use and output. Between 1973 and 1988, intensity reductions would have driven down sectoral energy use by 32 percent if the level and composition of output had remained constant. Structural change, or shifts in the product mix, would have reduced energy use by 11 percent if the total level of output and the energy intensities of each industry group had remained constant.

In this chapter, Robin Cantor uses prudency hearings and other data from power plant construction to illuminate some of the pitfalls likely to be encountered in preparing estimates for power plant decommissioning. Two of the most tempting pitfalls are scale and learning economies. She suggests that these presumed economies have had less impact on keeping construction costs down than expected, and that they also are unlikely to have much effect on decommissioning costs. Ignoring such evidence, she suggests, could result in decommissioning cost estimates that are too low and collection strategies that are inadequate. This finding has implications for future generations and future decommissioning options.

The data necessary to adequately estimate the parameters of these complex models are often not available. Monte Carlo filtering, the process of rejecting sets of model simulations that fail to meet prespecified criteria of model performance, is a useful procedure for objectively establishing parameter values and improving confidence in model predictions. This paper uses a foodweb model to examine the relationship between model sensitivities and Monte Carlo filtering. Results show that Monte Carlo filtering with a behavior definition that is closely related to the sensitivity structure of the model will produce substantial reductions in model forecasting uncertainty.

Photoacclimation occurs on a number of levels. This review uses the term "acclimation" to refer to physiological processes as distinct from adaptation, which refers to evolutional processes. Morphologically it is accompanied by changes in cell volume, the number and density of thylakoid membranes, the size of pyrenoids and other storage bodies within plastids, and sometimes by changes in the number of plastids per cell. On a cellular level there are changes in pigment and lipid content and composition.

My hypothese were 1) that small herbivores would remove more periphyton per unit biomass than large herbivores of the same species because of energetic demands and 2) that within the same size class, starved herbivores would remove more periphyton than nonstarved herbivores. The herbivore used was the prosobranch snail Elimia clavaeformis Lea. Seven treatments were employed: 1) no snails (control); 2) small "starved" annals;3) large "starved" snails' 4 (small and large "starved" snails; 3) small fed snails; 6) large fed snails removed significant amounts of periphyton 'AFDM relative to controls, neither snail size nor degree of starvation had a significant effect on loss of total AFDM. Small snails removed significantly more erect forms of Stigeoclonium tenue (C. A. AG) Kütz, than large snails, but snail size had no other significant effect. Starved snails removed significantly more cocconeis placentula Ehr.than fed snails, suggesting that after the more susceptible growth forms (e.g. erect stigeoclonium) were removed, cocconeis cells became more vulnerable to grazing by hungry snails. When small and large snails were combined in chambers, large snails gained weight over time, whereas small snails lost weight. These results suggest that intraspecific competition may occur within populations of Elimia.

JO - Policy Sciences JF - Policy Sciences Y1 - 1991/02// VL - 24 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 64 SN - 00322687 AB - The Garrison Diversion Unit (GDU) was authorized by Congress in 1965. ft is one of the largest and most expensive public works projects ever undertaken in the United States. When completed, it may become the last major federal irrigation scheme constructed in the west. its principal purposes are: (1) to irrigate some 250,000 acres of arabic land in North Dakota, (2) provide water for municipal and industrial use in fourteen communities, and (3) enhance recreational opportunities and fish and wildlife management programs within, and adjacent to, the canals and reservoirs resulting from its construction. The project is to be financed by hydropower sales from Lake Sakakawea, created when Garrison Darn was completed in 1956.' Concerted litigation, Canadian opposition, and federal budget cuts have sharply reduced the size and scope of GDU since 1984. Its irrigable acreage has been reduced by over 50%. a principal feeder reservoir has been etiminated, and provision of municipal and industrial water delivery has been moved from second to first priority by a Congressional commission. The GDU controversy illustrates the consequences of the lack of a coherent environmental ethic guiding American natural resources policy. These consequences are two-fold. First, although GDU's impacts extend to Canada, there is Little agreement between the U.S. and Canada over what values should guide transboundary water resources development. Second, American beneficiaries of the project define its need in `pre-emptory' terms - i.e., as compensation to an entire region for losses of land associated with the original construction of Garrison Dam. Opponents, meanwhile, argue their case in `meliorative' terms - i.e., that the costs to society of building additional water projects are not outweighed by their benefits. While both views have some merit, neither view can alone encompass the range of social, economic, and environ- mental consequences of complex river basin development.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 1991/02/26/ VL - 196 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 123 EP - 128 SN - 00142956 AB - Substitution of the completely conserved aspartic acid residue at position 124 of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase with asparagine and glycine has been performed through site-directed mutagenesis on the human enzyme. Asp124 is H-bonded to the NH of two histidines, one of which is bound to copper and the other to zinc. The mutant proteins, as expressed in Escherichia coli, result in an essential zinc-free enzyme which is similar to that obtained from the wild-type derivative through chemical manipulation. Only by extensive dialysis against 0.5 M ZnCl2 or CoCl2 at pH 5.4 was it possible to reconstitute approximately 50% of the molecules in the Cu2Zn2 or Cu2Co2 form. The new derivatives have been characterized through EPR, CD and nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion techniques. The Cu2Cox derivatives (x ≈ 1) were used to monitor, through electronic and ¹H-NMR spectroscopies, the metal sites which are found to be similar to those of the wild type. In addition, a double substitution with asparagine has been made, replacing the invariant aspartate at position 124 and the highly conserved aspartate at position 125. The behavior is similar to that of the other mutants in most respects. The Cu2E2 (E = empty) derivatives of the mutants are stable, even in the pH range 8-10, whereas in the case of the Cu2E2 derivative of the wild type, copper migration occurs at high pH, producing both Cu2Cu2 and apo derivatives.

JO - American Antiquity JF - American Antiquity Y1 - 1991/04// VL - 56 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 504 EP - 53 SN - 00027316 AB - The experimental hydration of obsidian for up to 30 days is described at relative humidities (RB) of 60, 90, 95, and 100 percent and at temperatures of 150, 160, and 175°C. Under isothermal conditions, the rate of hydration increased by as much as 25 percent between 60 and 100 percent RH. The RH dependence is nonlinear, with the majority of the rate increase occurring between 90 and 100 percent RH. The effect of RH can be related to the driving force for molecular water diffusion in obsidians as described by the chemical potential difference between water sorbed onto the obsidian surface and intrinsic water in the obsidian. The differences in hydration rates caused by RH differences in experiments approximate the error commonly described for obsidian-hydration dating. These results suggest that obsidian-hydration dating requires a knowledge of the site temperature and relative humidity in order to accurately generate age estimates.

En condiciones isotérmicas, el grado de hidratación aumentó hasta un 25 por ciento entre 60 y 100 por ciento de HR. El efecto de la HR puede estar relacionado con lafuerza que impulsa Ia difusión molecular del agua en obsidianas, descripta por Ia dtferencia en el potencial químico entre el agua absorbida en Ia superficie y el agua intrínseca en Ia obsidiana. La diferencia en los grados de hidratación causada por diferencias en HR durante los experiment os se aproxima al error comunmente descripto para Ia datación por hiratación de obsidiana.

Based on the pattern of leaf initiation and nutrient requirements of the species, it was predicted that (1) CO2 enrichment would enhance growth of yellow-poplar seedlings both through accelerated leaf area production and through higher rates of carbon assimilation per unit leaf area; and (2) growth enhancement of yellow-poplar by CO2 enrichment would be reduced by nutrient limitations. The hypotheses were tested in an experiment in which yellow-poplar plants were grown from seed for 24 weeks in controlled-environment chambers. The experimental design comprised three atmospheric CO2 concentrations (371, 493, and 787 cm³ m-3), two levels of mineral nutrients (unfertilized or weekly additions of complete nutrient solution), and three harvests (6, 12, and 24 weeks). Plant growth rate, water use, foliar gas exchange, component dry weights, and nutrient contents were measured. Both hypotheses were rejected. Whole-plant dry weight increased similarly with CO2 enrichment in plants provided with additional mineral nutrients and in unfertilized plants, although the fertilized plants grew 10-fold larger. The increase in dry weight resulting from elevated CO2 occurred only in root systems. Although leaves were produced continuously during the experiment, leaf area was slightly reduced in elevated CO2, and the whole-plant growth response was wholly attributable to an increase in carbon assimilation per unit leaf area. Although the compensation between photosynthesis and leaf area reduced the potential growth response to CO2, the reduction in leaf area ratio was associated with a significant increase in water-use efficiency. This unexpected result demonstrated the importance of feedbacks and interactions between resources in shaping the response of a plant to CO2.

As part of this process, many utilities prepare long-term plans that integrate demand-side programs into the utility's mix of resources. This paper discusses guidelines for the preparation and review of utility reports on their resource plans, focusing on the technical competence of the underlying analysis. Load forecast, demand-side resources, supply resources, integration of resources, and treatment of uncertainty are discussed.

Its application to the New England region suggests that the optimal penetration strategy must involve new customers located in metropolitan areas endowed with distribution lines, and particularly large industrial and electric utility customers. However, connecting communities in remote, low-density rural areas, is, in most cases, economically unfeasible. The results also suggest that price discrimination favoring residential customers is widespread, pointing to the need for changes in cost allocation and pricing practices.

This enzyme was also inhibited in situ, with corresponding inhibition of ATP-dependent quenching of the chlorophyll fluorescence. The mode of inhibition was noncompetitive, with a K1 of 8 μM for the membrane-bound kinase, and 6 μM for the purified kinase. The inhibitor did not modify the substrate preference of the endogenous kinase and could be removed from the membrane by washing. Unlike reactive blue 2, the enzyme did not partition into detergent micelles and is therefore presumably not a hydrophobic, intrinsic membrane protein.

Estimated annual root respiration rates were 12 % less in seedlings exposed to twice-ambient O3 (7 h mean = 70-110 nl 1-1) than in seedlings exposed to sub-ambient O3 (7 h mean = 20-40 nl 1-1). Measurements taken during periods of relatively rapid and of negligible root growth suggest that the reduced root respiration may be due to both reduced maintenance respiration and reduced growth respiration. Respiration rates of the soil substrate of the O3-exposed seedlings were also below those of the substrate of seedlings exposed to sub-ambient O3. The study supports the theory that there is a reduced supply of photosynthates to the roots of plants exposed to elevated O3. It is hypothesized that a reduced supply of photosynthates to the roots may affect soil respiration rates by reducing root exudation rates and, consequently, reducing rhizosphere microbial populations.

Origin-destination pairs drawn from a selection of six nuclear reactors and two potential repository sites across the U.S. were used for evaluation of the computational performance of each algorithm. The first two algorithms maintained a priority queue under two different management systems, a linear search and a binary heap. The third was an adaptive algorithm which exploited the knowledge of the Euclidean distances between nodes to reduce search effort. The relative effectiveness of these algorithms in determining the k-shortest path was examined in terms of computation time. Finally, a simple (or loopless) path algorithm, which required only a minor modification of the original k-shortest path algorithm, was introduced for situations in which a large set of simple paths was needed.

One-year-old seedlings were planted individually in pots in forest soil of low (58 μg g-1), medium (96 μg g-1) or high (172 μg g-1) initial concentrations of soluble nitrogen. The seedlings were exposed to ozone in open-top field chambers at sub-ambient (charcoal-filtered air), ambient, and elevated (ambient+60 nl l-1 O3) (32, 56, 108 nl l-1 O3, 7 h seasonal mean, respectively) levels for 18 weeks. At final harvest loblolly pine dry matter increased by 50% at the highest soil N level relative to the low with the largest gains in new needle biomass. Elevated ozone reduced the biomass of current-year needles by 20% in plants grown at the highest N level. Higher soil N supply increased the concentration of nitrogen in needles, stimulated current-year needle photosynthesis and increased needle and whole-plant water-use efficiencies. Ozone treatment had no significant effect on photosynthesis or water-use efficiency in either species, although ozone exposure tended to reduce stomatal conductance in loblolly pine. The low N treatment increased the proportion of dry matter allocated to line roots in yellow-poplar, but whole-plant dry weight had not responded to N fertilization at the final harvest, suggesting other limitations on growth. Ozone exposure increased leaf abscission and doubled leaf turnover in yellow-poplar. Although yellow-poplar was highly sensitive to ozone-induced leaf abscission, final whole-plant dry weights were not affected. The indeterminate growth habit of yellow-poplar permitted compensatory leaf growth which may have ameliorated effects of chronic ozone stress on biomass gain. Ozone exposure also decreased shoot weight more than root weight.

The resulting recombinant plasmid (pSM10) directs the hyperproduction of a polypeptide of 70.6 kDa corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of pneumococcal DNA polymerase I. Induced cells synthesized catalytically active protein to the extent of 7% of the total soluble protein in the cells. The polymerase fragment was purified to greater than 90% homogeneity with a yield of 1.5 mg pure protein/I culture. The protein has DNA polymerase activity, but no exonuclease activity. The enzyme requires a divalent cation (MgCl2 or MnCl2) for polymerization of DNA. Comparison of the mutant and wild-type pneumococcal polymerases shows that the construction did not affect the enzymatic affinity for the various substrates. The mutant protein, like its parent DNA polymerase I, exhibited an intermediate level of activity with primed single-stranded DNA. At high molar ratio of enzyme/DNA substrate, the polymerase fragment catalyzes strand displacement and switching after completing the replication of a primed single-stranded M13 DNA molecule.

The main argument for decreasing the number of warheads on a missile is that being able to spread the total number of warheads set by START over more missiles that allows the strategic nuclear force to be more flexibly configured. It can also save money. In addition, most strategic thinkers believing the number of warheads on land-based, multiple-warhead missiles would enhance stability in a crisis. Originally the U.S. favored downloading and Soviet Union opposed it, but by Round XIV in 1990 the two sides had essentially reversed positions. The reasons for this are complex, involving competing views in U.S. agencies and presumably in the Soviet Union as well. The issue of how downloading relates to crisis stability is more complex. The START compromise on downloading, however, enhances crisis stability. First, it specifies that if an intercontinental ballistic missile is downloaded by more than two warheads, it must be equipped with a new front-section platform, and all old platforms must be destroyed.

According to the author, START is probably good news. Defense against nuclear attack carried by thousands of missiles will continue to look like an insoluble problem. But the author believes that a slow reduction in the number of long-range nuclear missiles may make solving the problem somewhat more practical. On the other hand, completely eliminating nuclear arsenals would leave the world vulnerable to the Saddam Husseins who, with dictatorial regimes, manage to violate international agreements on weapons on mass destruction. Therefore, in the author's view, the destruction of all nuclear weapons is not a desirable or realistic goal. In the long run, according to him, a true end to the Cold War should carry with it universal opposition to aggression and international cooperation in developing defensive systems. The author believes that the success in developing strategic defensive systems requires a plan ambitious enough to be significant, but limited to the extent that it should be feasible. In his opinion, the most essential ingredient is a general policy of openness.

Early studies using SOD activity, showed that MnSOD levels respond to changes in oxygen tension, type of substrata, redox active compounds, iron concentration, the nature of the terminal oxidant, and the redox potential of the medium. FeSOD levels appeared nominally insensitive to these perturbations. More recent molecular genetic studies revealed that sodA expression is subject to regulation by three major regulatory systems: fur (ferric uptake regulation) and arcA arcB (aerobic respiratory control) mediate repression of sodA, while a relatively new system, soxR soxS (superoxide response), mediates activation of sodA expression. By contrast, sodB expression, which is much less studied at this time, appears to be positively activated in trans by fur. A rudimentary gene regulation model is presented which rationalizes past observations, is experimentally testable, and should serve as a guide to future research in this area.

It is the longest of the filamentous bacterial viruses, and the DNA within it has the most extended conformation known. Pf1 virus cannot infect Escherichia coli (strain MM294) cells, but when these cells are transfected with the double-stranded replicative form of Pf1 DNA (RF DNA, 7.35 kb), they export low levels of infectious particles that create plaques on lawns of P. aeruginosa. Several different structural species, at least two of which are infectious, are exported. One of them. called Epf1, has virtually the same structure as Pf1, but the amount of Epf1 exported by E. coli is 104 lower than the amount of Pf1 exported by P. aeruginosa. The results imply that host factors affect not only the efficiency of virus assembly and export, but also the actual structures of the species exported.

The motivating application is the design and analysis of computer experiments, where t determines the input to a computer model of a physical or behavioral system, and y(t) is a response that is part of the output or is calculated from it. Following a Bayesian formulation, prior uncertainty about the function y is expressed by means of a random function Y, which is taken here to be a Gaussian stochastic process. The mean of the posterior process can be used as the prediction function y(t), and the variance can be used as a measure of uncertainty. This kind of approach has been used previously in Bayesian interpolation and IS strongly related to the kriging methods used in geostatistics. Here emphasis is placed on product linear and product cubic correlation functions, which yield prediction functions that are, respectively, linear or cubic splines in every dimension. A posterior entropy criterion is adopted for design, this minimizes the expected uncertainty about the posterior process, as measured by the entropy. A computational algorithm for finding entropy-optimal designs on multidimensional grids is described. Several examples are presented, including a two-dimensional experiment on a computer model of a thermal energy storage device and a six-dimensional experiment on an integrated circuit simulator. Predictions are made using several different families of correlation functions, with parameters chosen to maximize the likelihood For comparison, predictions are also made via least squares fitting of various polynomial and spline models. The Bayesian design/prediction methods, which do not require any modeling of v, produce comparatively good predictions, For some correlation functions, however, the...

Using advanced communications and networking soft/hardware arrangements (i.e. terminal emulators, LANs, WANs, etc.) it is not only feasible, but cost effective, for the competent information professional to develop multi-user environments offering quick, often simultaneous, access to platforms of mainframe, supermini, or personal computers working together from numerous locations. The ability of such network arrangements to access, download, store, retrieve, share, and otherwise manipulate data to extract additional information or simply ease its use can be very attractive. This paper examines a model which connects and enhances typical commercial database systems to create a medium-sized information network for multiple end-users. Areas explored include the legal issues involved, various possible soft/hardware configurations, the multi-user environment, and further future possibilities.

In this paper, we examine a class of BLPPs where the leader controls a set of continuous and discrete variables and tries to minimize a convex nonlinear objective function. The follower's objective function is a convex quadratic in a continuous decision space. All constraints arc assumed to be linear. A branch and bound algorithm is developed that finds global optima. The main purpose of this paper is to identify efficient branching rules, and to determine the computational burden of the numeric procedures. Extensive test results are reported. We close by showing that it is not readily possible to extend the algorithm to the more general case involving integer follower variables.

The classical result of Hotelling is that the resource owner is indifferent between producing and not producing when the net price of the resource is increasing with the interest rate. However, the sharp increases and decreases in oil price in the last decade illustrate that the net price may not always increase with the interest rate, the Pontryagin Maximum Principle can be used to extend the classical result to a problem with a bang-bang production schedule and to problems with increasing extraction costs.

Control samples of Escherichia coli and calf thymus DNA were also analyzed. The nucleoside base composition of each DNA sample was determined by reversed-phase high perfomance liquid chromatography. All samples contained 5-methyldeoxycytidine, although at widely varying levels. In M.minutum, about one-third of the cytidine residues were methylated. Restriction analysis supported this high degree of methylation in M.minutum, about one-third of the cytidine residues were methylated. Restriction analysis supported this high degree of methylation in M. minutum and suggested that methylation is biased toward 5'-CG dinucleotides. The guanosine + cytosine (GC) contents of the green algae were, with the exception of Stichococcus sp., consistently higher than those of the diatoms. Monoraphidium minutum exhibited an extremely high GC content of 71%. Such a value is rare among eukaryotic organisms and might indicate an unusual codon usage. This work is important for developing strategies for transformation and gene cloning in these algae.

Beyond their direct use in verification, these measurements also may prove useful in calibrating a monitoring system based on seismic magnitudes. The relative merits of seismic monitoring vis-a-vis on-site measurement have been at the core of a long-standing controversy. Many seismic verification problems hinge on statistical issues, including linear calibration based on a small data set and the formal use of expert opinion.

An early performance evaluation of the VP-200 and the S810/20, using benchmark codes designed to represent the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) computing work-load, showed that the VP-200 could be two to three times as fast as a single (9.5ns) CRAY X-MP/24 processor for highly vectorized codes, although the scalar performance of the two machines was comparable [5]. The S810/20 did not perform as well as the X-MP and the VP-200, largely because of a longer central processing unit (CPU) clock period and poorer scalar performance.

Despite the absence of a CO2 effect on individual leaf expansion or specific growth rate (SGR), increasing the CO2 concentration to ambient + 150 or + 300 cm3 m-3 decreased SRR by 28 to 45% compared with ambient-grown controls. These lower leaf respiration rates were correlated with reduced leaf nitrogen concentrations. As described by the two-component model of growth and maintenance respiration, SRR was a linear function of SGR. Ambient-grown leaves had a growth respiration coefficient of 704 mg CO2 g-1 dry mass compared with 572 and 570 mg CO2 g-1 for leaves grown at the two higher CO2, concentrations. Leaves from the elevated CO2 treatments had an average maintenance respiration coefficient of 88 mg CO2 g-1 dry mass d-1 compared with 135 mg CO2 g-1 d-1 for leaves from the ambient treatment. Incorporating these growth and maintenance coefficients into a leaf growth simulation model indicated that total respiration would be reduced by 21 to 26% for a leaf exposed to + 150 or + 300 cm3 m3 CO2 throughout its 50-d lifespan compared with one grown at ambient CO2 conditions. Reductions in total respiration were dominated by a lower rate of maintenance respiration, while the contribution of a lower specific rate of growth respiration was largely offset by a greater dry mass for leaves grown at elevated CO2 concentrations. Although reductions in the respiratory loss of carbon could be beneficial, respiration is unlikely to decrease without a concomitant decrease in other metabolic processes. Whether these reductions are beneficial or detrimental to the long-term growth of plants exposed to elevated CO2 remains unresolved.

The complexity of the motion-planning problem has hindered the development of practical algorithms. This paper surveys the work on gross-motion planning, including motion planners for point robots, rigid robots, and manipulators in stationary, time-varying, constrained, and movable-object environments. The general issues in motion planning are explained. Recent approaches and their performances are briefly described, and possible future research directions are discussed.

It was noted that estrogens may increase plasma triglycerides, leading to increased levels of very low density lipoproteins, but may also reduce levels of cholesterol-enriched and potentially atherogenic intermediate- and low-density lipoproteins. Estrogens also increase levels of high-density lipoproteins. Generally, lipoprotein changes are greater with higher dose OCs. OCs also affect carbohydrate metabolism, primarily through the activity of progestin. Studies have demonstrated insulin resistance, rises in plasma insulin, and relative glucose intolerance. It was concluded that OCs have significant metabolic effects.

Mutant allele recA730, which causes constitutive SOS expression, is lethal at high temperatures in B/r, a derivative of wild-type B, but not in K-12 or in certain B/r-K-12 hybrids. We present evidence that killing is due to SOS induction of a defective retron-phage, ΦR86, which is integrated into the B/r chromosome at 19 min, but is absent in K-12. ΦR86 contains retron EC-86 which encodes reverse transcriptase and a small multicopy DNA-RNA complex, msDNA-RNA. Induction of ΦR86 in recA730 B/r strains results in inhibition of host DNA replication before cell death. A retronphage 'killer' gene, ORF336, when overexpressed from a plasmid, causes similar effects without SOS induction. ΦR86 is not detectably u.v.-inducible in recA* strains.

Total H15NO3 vapour deposition to foliar surfaces ranged from < 5 to 27 nmol m--2 s-1, the variability being largely accounted for by differences in HNO3, concentrations and leaf conductance. Mean whole-leaf conductance to HNO3 ranged between 0.9 and 3.4 mm for hardwoods and between 6 and 34 mm s-1 for loblolly pine. Of the total H15NO3 vapour deposited to leaves, an average of 39 to 48% was immediately 'bound' into hardwood foliage whereas only 3% was bound to loblolly pine needles. This implies that rain events might extract greater amounts of HNO3-derived nitrate in throughfall from conifer canopies as compared to hardwood canopies. Post-exposure H15NO3 uptake rates across the leaf cuticle increased with surface nitrate concentrations, but were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower (0.06 to 0.24 nmol m-2 s-1) than total HNO3 deposition during exposures. A generalized leaf-level model of HNO3 deposition to foliage capable of simulating deposition pathways to sorption sites on the leaf surface, and to the metabolically active leaf interior via transcuticular or stomatal pathways is formulated and suggested for use in planning future work on HNO3 deposition.

One mutant gene encodes a truncated protein that possesses 5′ to 3′ exonuctease but has lost polymerase activity. This mutation does not affect cell viability. Other mutated forms of polA that encode proteins with only polymerase activity or with no enzymatic activity could not substitute for the wild-type polA gene in the chromosome unless the 5′ to 3′ exonuclease domain was encoded elsewhere in the chromosome. Thus, it appears that the 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase I is essential for cell viability in S. pneumoniae. Absence of the polymerase domain of DNA polymerase I slightly diminished the ability of S. pneumoniae to repair DNA lesions after ultraviolet irradiation. However, the polymerase domain of the pneumococcal DNA polymerase I gave almost complete complementation of the polA5 mutation in Escherichia coli with respect to resistance to ultraviolet irradiation.

JO - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition JF - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Y1 - 1992/12// VL - 56 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 963 EP - 967 SN - 00029165 AB - Malnutrition is common in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which distorts the chemical contents in the fat-free mass (FFM) and alters the assumptions underlying the traditional methods for calculating body-fat content so that such measurements may not be accurate. In vivo neutron-activation analysis (IVNA) measures FFM independently of the traditional assumptions, thereby providing more accurate measurements of body fat. We compared seven methods for measuring body fat in 18 male patients with AIDS: IVNA, total body water (TBW by ³H2O dilution), total body potassium (TBK by 40K counting), dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and two well-calibrated anthropometric methods. FatTBW and fatDPA were not significantly different from fattVNA. FatTBW gave the highest correlation with fatIVNA and the smallest SEE of ± 1.8% (1.1 kg). The traditional and widely available TBW and the newer DPA method provide reliable estimates of fattVNA in patients with AIDS.

Inventory work completed in 1989 has established several new research areas. One of these, the Kesem-Kebena area near the northern terminus of the Main Ethiopian Rift, has now been investigated by the inventor team, and several vertebrate paleontological and archaeological localities have been discovered. The deposits range from >3.7 Ma (million years of age; Pliocene) to Late Pleistocene. Important stratigraphic units were dated by conventional K/Ar dating on basaltic lavas and 40Ar/39Ar on feldspar separates from key tephra horizons. Among the most significant discoveries from the extensive Kesem-Kebena sedimentary succession are Pleistocene Acheulian lithic assemblages and Acheulian fauna dating to ca. 1.0 Ma.

This choice of technology creates the opportunity to substitute electricity for fossil fuels. We extend earlier research to investigate whether energy prices affect this type of technology adoption. The econometric model uses the "seemingly unrelated Tobit" method to capture the effects of the industry's experience with both technologies, technical change, and potential cost reductions, as well as energy prices, on adoption. When we include the prices of electricity and coking coal as explanatory variables, the four energy price coefficients have the signs predicted by the law of demand, but the magnitude of the coefficients is such that the non-price terms are more important, e.g. a 50 percent increase in electricity prices would delay LEF adoption by only 12 days. . .

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 1993/02// VL - 88 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 114 SN - 00102202 AB - A numerical modeling of turbulent methanol-air nonpremixed jet flames with a five-step and a four-step reduced reaction mechanisms is presented. The model calculates the scalar properties by a joint pdf (probability density function) approach and a second-order moment closure for the turbulent velocity field. Although the flame is considered adiabatic, mixture enthalpy has been included as a passive scalar to properly account for the pilot flame which has a flame temperature higher than the adiabatic flame temperature of the stoichiometric mixture. A total of seven scalars, including two passive scalars and five reactive scalars, are used to describe the thermo-chemical states of the reactive mixtures. The evolution of the joint pdf of these seven scalars was simulated by the Monte Carlo technique. An extensive analysis of the predicted results in comparison with experimental data is presented. The predicted mass fractions of most reactive species are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the probability of local flame extinction is reasonably predicted as well. Carbon monoxide is the only species for which a substantial discrepancy exists between the predictions and the measurements. The noted discrepancy is similar to that observed in a previous numerical study of turbulent methane-air nonpremixed jet flames by Chen et al.(1989).Although several possible causes are investigated, no satisfactory reasons were found to explain the noted discrepancies.

While the nature of the transition from steady to nonsteady, but periodic, combustion is now weJl understood, the various mechanisms that lead to more complex te.g., chaotic) modes of burning are is not. However, it has been shown that mode interactions which arise after the neutral stability boundary is crossed do lead to combustion waves that exhibit more complicated spatial and temporal behavior. In the present work, we foucus on the case of temporally resonant mode interactions and show how such interactions can provide a new route to chaos in gaslcss systems. The resulting character of the propagating combustion wave is that or chaotic. multiple-point combustion, in which one may observe the random movement of hot spots that appear, disappear and reappear on the sample surface, as reported in recent experiments. Various quantitative measures of this attractor are then presented.

When monitoring labor performance is costly for management, a regular wage/salary contract is insufficient to induce profit-maximizing behavior from the worker. The authors demonstrate that when this profit-maximizing behavior can be induced only through profit-sharing, a linear profit-sharing program will increase productivity and the welfare of both management and labor. The benefit from profit-sharing is increasing up to the point where the utility of additional income is offset by the negative utility of extraordinary effort (working harder or providing higher quality work). The income effect, i.e., the change in negative utility of extraordinary effort given a change in income, can potentially either increase or decrease the point at which the income-effort tradeoff reaches zero.

To determine the structure and biochemical attributes of this protein, a repertoire of immunological techniques using monocional antibodies, and radiolabelling were employed. We demonstrated that the 29 kDa protein forms a 60 kDa dimer and a high-molecular-mass oligomer(s) on the surface of the organism through disulphide bonds, and is the major accessible free thiol-containing surface protein of E. histolytica. The deduced amino acid sequence encoding the 29 kDa protein was found to share a common amino acid domain with sequences reported for Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella typhimurium, MER5 gene expressed in murine erythroleukemia cells, Clostridium pasteurianum, and a Bacillus spp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Molecular Microbiology is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

S. Manne (1958) and by H. M. Wagner and T. M. Whitin (1958). The Manne-Wagner-Whitin model and its variants have been studied widely in the operations research and management science communities, and a large number of algorithms have been proposed for solving various problems expressed in terms of this model, most of which assume concave costs and rely on dynamic programming. In this paper, we show that for many of these concave cost economic lot size problems, the dynamic programming formulation of the problem gives rise to a special kind of array. called a Monge array. We then show how the structure of Monge arrays can be exploited to obtain significantly faster algorithms for these economic lot size problems. We focus on uncapacitated problems, i.e., problems without bounds on production, inventory, or backlogging: capacitated problems are considered in a separate paper.

This paper examines observed harvest choices derived from satellite imagery and tests for relationships between harvest probability and location, quality and ownership attributes of the site. Results indicate that the overall probability of harvesting for public lands is significantly lower than for private lands. Substantially different disturbances patterns relative to location attributes are also established for these groups. Results suggest a way to include spatially explicit information regarding private land management in public land management plans. An example demonstrates how alternative uses of public lands might be considered in the broader context of a multiple ownership landscape.

Exposure to atmospheres enriched with +150 and +300 μmol mol-1 CO2 increased net photosynthesis by 12-144% over the course of the study. Net photosynthesis was consistently higher at +300 than at +150 μmol mol-1 CO2. The effect of CO2 enrichment on stomatal conductance was limited, hut instantaneous leaf-level water use efficiency increased significantly. No decrease in the responsiveness of photosynthesis to CO2 enrichment over time was detected, and the responses were consistent throughout the canopy and across successive growth flushes and seasons. The relationships between internal CO2 concentration and photosynthesis (e.g. photosynthetic capacity and carboxylation efficiency) were not altered by growth at elevated concentrations of CO2. No alteration in the timing of leaf senescence or abscission was detected, suggesting that the seasonal duration of effective gas-exchange was unaffected by CO2 treatment. These results are consistent with data previously reported for these species in controlled-environment studies, and suggest that leaf-level photosynthesis does not down-regulate in these species as a result of acclimation to CO2 enrichment in the field, This sustained enhancement of photosynthesis provides the opportunity for increased growth and carbon storage by trees as the atmospheric concentration of CO2 rises, but many additional factors interact in determining whole-plant and forest responses to global change.

Exogenous events that encourage clearance and use of a larger cultivated area (output price or population increase) exacerbate the externality. Imposition of a simple, corrective tax on land rents does not reverse these patterns but does mitigate the increase in the externality and leaves cultivators with higher incomes than they would obtain without the tax. The authors examine an optimal tax on land rents, designed to maximize the social value of land rents in the region, and an output tax.

JO - Journal of Phycology JF - Journal of Phycology Y1 - 1993/12// VL - 29 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 755 EP - 766 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00223646 AB - The effects of nitrate, phosphate, and iron starvation and resupply on photosynthetic pigments, selected photosynthetic proteins, and photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry were examined in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin (CCMP 1327). Although cell chlorophyll a (chl a ) content decreased in nutrient-starved cells, the ratios of light-harvesting accessory pigments (chl c and fucoxanthin) to chl a were unaffected by nutrient starvation. The chl a-specific light absorption coefficient (a*) and the functional absorption cross-section of PSII (σ) increased during nutrient starvation, consistent with reduction of intracellular self-shading (i.e. a reduction of the "package effect") as cells became chlorotic. The light-harvesting complex proteins remained a constant proportion of total cell protein during nutrient starvation, indicating that chlorosis mirrored a general reduction in cell protein content. The ratio of the xanthophyll cycle pigments diatoxanthin and diadinoxanthin to chl a increased during nutrient starvation. These pigments are thought to play a photoprotective role by increasing dissipation of excitation energy in the pigment bed upstream from the reaction centers. Despite the increase in diatoxanthin and diadinoxanthin, the efficiency of PSII photochemistry, as measured by the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (F[SUBv]/F[SUBm]) of dark-adapted cells, declined markedly under nitrate and iron starvation and moderately under phosphate starvation. Parallel to changes in F[SUBv]/F[SUBm] Were decreases in abundance of the reaction center protein D1 consistent with damage of PSII reaction centers in nutrient-starved cells. The relative abundance of the carboxylating enzyme, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RUBISCO), decreased in response to nitrate and iron starvation but not phosphate starvation. Most marked was the decline in the abundance of the small subunit of RUBISCO in nitrate-starved cells. The changes in pigment content and fluorescence characteristics were typically reversed within 24 h of resupply of the limiting nutrient.

The answer is elusive because of methodological problems associated with bottle incubations and nutrient addition experiments. We are investigating the possibility that antibodies to proteins repressed by a specific nutrient can be used as probes to indicate which nutrient limits photosynthetic carbon fixation in the ocean. The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin and the chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher were grown in batch cultures in artificial seawater and f/2 nutrient lacking either phosphorus, iron, or nitrogen. Chlorosis was induced by nutrient limitation in both species with the exception of phosphorus-limited D. tertiolecta. The synthesis and appearance of specific proteins were followed by labeling with [SUP14]C-bicarbonate. Nutrient limitation in general leads to a decrease in the quantum efficiency of photosystem II, suggesting that deficiency of any nutrient affects the photosynthetic apparatus to some degree; however, the effect of nitrogen and iron limitation on quantum efficiency is more severe than that of phosphorus. A crude fractionation of the soluble and membrane proteins demonstrated that the large proteins induced under limitation by phosphorus and iron were associated with the membranes. However, small iron-repressible proteins were located in the soluble fraction. Isolation with anion-exchange chromatography and N-terminal sequencing of iron-repressible, 23-kDa proteins from D. tertiolecta, P. tricornutum, and Chaetoceros gracilis revealed that these small soluble proteins have strong homology with the N-terminal sequence of flavodoxins from Azotobacter and Clostridium. The identity of the flavodoxin from D. tertiolecta was confirmed by immunodetection using antiflavodoxin raised against Chlorella. Flavodoxin was detected only under iron deprivation and was absent from nitrogen- and phosphorus-limited algae. Flavodoxin is a prime candidate for a molecular probe of iron limitation in the ocean. The requirements to confirm its utility in nature are discussed.

Reproduction concentrated early in life suggests that extreme mortality at young ages has been a common demographic characteristic among all forms of life. Because it operates through the differential reproductive success of individuals, natural selection, the arbiter of evolution, is not effective after the reproductive period ends. Requiring survival beyond the reproductive period for senescence to be expressed suggests that senescence is not genetically programmed, but neither is there an active program for immortality. What we call senescence may simply be the inadvertent consequence of surviving beyond the reproductive period. As survival is further extended, inevitable declines in physiological function and a proliferation of fatal and nonfatal degenerative diseases that become progressively less amenable to modification would be predicted. This model of senescence can provide a theoretical framework for demographers in their development or evaluation of models of human mortality. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Para asegurar el éxito reproductivo las especies han desarrollado estrategias de adaptación. Una reproducción que se concentra tempranamente en el ciclo de vida sugiere que una mortalidad extrema a edades precoces ha sido una característica demográfica común a todas las formas de vida. Dado que la selección natural, el árbitro de la evolución, actúa a través del éxito reproductivo diferencial del individuo, una vez completado el período reproductivo deja de tener efecto. Requiriendo una supervivencia más allá del período reproductivo para que pueda manifestarse la senescencia sugiere que la senescencia no se programa genéticamente, pero tampoco existe un programa activo para la inmortalidad. Lo que nosotros llamamos la senescencia quizás sea simplemente una consecuencia inadvertida de una supervivencia más allá del período reproductivo. A medida que se extiende más y más la supervivencia, un declineo inevitable de las funciones fisiológicas y una proliferación de enfermedades degenerativas, fatales o no fatales, cuya modificación será progresivamente más difícil, puede predicirse. Este modelo de senescencia puede ofrecer al demógrafo un marco teórico para su desarrollo o evaluación de modelos de mortalidad humana. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Les espèces ont développé des stratégies d'adaptation pour assurer le succès de la reproduction. La concentration de la reproduction dans les jeunes années suggère que le taux extrême de mortalité en bas âge a été une caractéristique démographique commune parmi toutes les formes de vie. Parce qu'elle opère par le truchement du succès de la reproduction différentiel des individus, la sélection naturelle--médiatrice de l'évolution--n'est plus efficace après que s'est terminée la période de reproduction. Si l'on veut que la sénescence soit exprimée au-delà de la période de reproduction par la notion de survie, cela suggère que la sénescence n'est pas programmée génétiquement, et qu'il n'existe non plus un programme actif pour l'immortalité. Ce que nous appelons sénescence pourrait simplement être la conséquence fortuite de survie au-delà de la période de reproduction. Au fur et à mesure que s'allonge la période de survie, on prédirait des déclins inévitables des fonctions physiologiques et une prolifération des maladies dégénératives fatales et non fatales qui deviennent progressivement moins accessibles aux modifications. Ce modèle de sénescence peut fournir aux démographes une structure théorique pour l'élaboration ou l'évaluation des modèles de mortalité humaine.

In this review we discuss this rapidly expanding field of study and propose that both increasing and decreasing rates of leaf and whole-plant respiration are likely to occur in response to rising CO2 concentrations. While the stimulatory effects of CO2 on respiration are consistent with our knowledge of leaf carbohydrate status and plant metabolism, we wish to emphasize the rather surprising short-term inhibition of leaf respiration by elevated CO2 and the reported effects of long-term CO2 exposure on growth and maintenance respiration. As is being found in many studies, it is easier to document the respiratory response of higher plants to elevated CO2 than it is to assign a mechanistic basis for the observed effects. Despite this gap in our understanding of how respiration is affected by CO2 enrichment, data are sufficient to suggest that changes in leaf and whole-plant respiration may be important considerations in the carbon dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems as global CO2 continues to rise. Suggestions for future research that would enable these and other effects of CO2 on respiration to be unravelled are presented.

Design: Three-arm, placebo-controlled, randomized parallel trial. The study duration was 2.9 ± 1.1 (SD) years. Setting: General community. Participants: 118 healthy, white women 3 to 6 years after spontaneous menopause, recruited by community announcement. Interventions: Random allocation to daily intake of 1700 mg of calcium (calcium carbonate given in divided doses with meals); placebo; or conjugated equine estrogens (0.625 mg; days 1 to 25), progesterone (10 mg; days 16 to 25), and 1700 mg of elemental calcium daily. Each participant received 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Main Outcome Measures: Total body calcium measured by delayed gamma neutron activation analysis and whole-body counting; bone mineral density of the spine, femur, and radius measured by photon absorptiometry. Results: Bone mineral density declined in the placebo group for the lumbar spine (-2.1 %/y; 95% CI, -3.3 to -0.9), femoral neck (-2.0%/y; CI,-2.6 to -1.2), trochanter (-1.6%/y; CI, -2.4 to-0.8), Ward triangle (-2.7%/y; CI, -3.7 to -1.7), and total body calcium (-2.0%/y; CI, -2.2 to-1.8). Rates of change were intermediate for calcium augmentation compared with placebo and estrogen-progesterone-calcium but statistically significant compared with placebo for total body calcium (-0.5%/y; CI, -0.9 to -- 0.1; P = 0.006) and the femoral neck (-0.8%/y; CI, -1.4 to -0.2; P = 0.03). Conclusions: Although less effective than estrogen-progesterone-calcium, calcium augmentation alone significantly retards bone loss from the femoral neck and improves calcium balance in recently postmenopausal women. Dietary calcium augmentation should be recommended as a strategic option in helping to prevent early postmenopausal bone loss.

Models are built using a combination of decision trees and influence diagrams. Models can use DPL's extensive function set, or incorporate spreadsheet analysis by linking with an application through Microsoft Windows DDE or by converting files saved in WK1 format. Output graphics include, policy trees, risk profiles, and policy summaries. The user can perform sensitivity analysis on all input values, including probabilities, displaying results as rainbow or tornado diagrams. Version 3.1, available in January 1994, will include Monte Carlo evaluation of large trees and support for Microsoft Excel 4.0 spreadsheet files. DPL is two versions. The standard version, priced at $495, is designed for novice users and includes all the power and features necessary for basic decision analysis. The advanced version costs $995 and includes additional modeling, analysis, and validation features. DPL requires a 286 or higher PC or PS/2 compatible computer, VGA or better graphics adapter, and a mouse. For optimum performance, a 386 or higher computer with a math coprocessor and at least 2M of memory is recommended. DPL also requires Microsoft Windows 3.0 or higher. A demonstration disk is available for a $5 shipping and handling charge. KW - Risk assessment KW - Computer software KW - Risk KW - Electronic spreadsheets KW - Applied Decision Analysis Inc.

The software is a tool for teaching statistical concepts. The program sets itself apart from other statistical packages, which focus on performing calculations. When dealing with statistical models, the program can quickly demonstrate the nature of the models, and issues related to repeated sampling, such as the Central Limit Theorem, and properties of confidence intervals. On the other hand, when starting the data, the program can quickly lead the student to the important aspects of good data analysis. Faster machines and Macintosh System 7.0 are preferable to run the software. The central elements of the software are experiment files, which contain preprogrammed demonstrations. Thirty-one experiment files, which demonstrate a wide range of statistical ideas. The bundled experiments cover such topics as exploratory data analysis, distributions of summary statistics, properties of the Normal distribution, the Central Limit Theorem, least squares as well as a number of topics. Once the experiment file has been opened, there are three main windows associated with it, an Experiment window, a Summary window and a Fit window. The Experiment Window displays the contents of the experiment file, and allows the experiment to be viewed in a number of different ways. The Summary window is used to calculate summary statistics, and to display the empirical distributions of those statistics. The Fit window displays information about models that have been fitted to the experiment.

The net is based on a stochastic model featuring a multilayer feedforward architecture with random connections between units and noisy response functions. A Bayesian inferential procedure for this model, based on the Kalman filter, is derived. The resulting learning algorithm generalizes the so-called one-dimensional Newton method, an updating algorithm currently popular in the neural net literature. A numerical study concerning the prediction of a noisy chaotic time series is presented, and the greater predictive accuracy of the new algorithm with respect to the Newton algorithm is exhibited.

This extrapolation method has led some demographers to conclude that life expectancy in the not too remote future will reach 100 years. Similar predictions follow from another demographic model that establishes a hypothetical link between risk factor modification and changes in death rates. These predictions are examined within the context of the observed mortality record of the United States, and their biological plausibility is assessed in light of evolutionary theories of senescence. Results indicate that these demographic models lead to mortality schedules that do not follow from the observed mortality record and that are inconsistent with predictions of biologically based limits to longevity. Although there is probably not a genetic program for death, the biology of our species places inherent limits on human longevity. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Los enfoques demográficos para establecer modelos y estimar la mortalidad se basan frecuentemente en la observación de las tendencias a corto plazo de las estadísticas de muertes y en el supuesto de que la mortalidad futura exhibirá pautas similares a las de un pasado reciente. Este método de extrapolación ha llevado a algunos demógrafos a concluir que la esperanza de vida alcanzará 100 años dentro de un futuro no muy lejano. Predicciones similares resultan de otro modelo demográfico que establece un lazo hipotético entre modificaciones de los factores de riesgo y los cambios en las tasas de muertes. Se examinan estas predicciones dentro del contexto del récord de mortalidad observado en los Estados Unidos, además su aparente validez biológica se evalúa a la luz de las teorías evolucionarias de la senescencia. Los resultados indican que estos modelos demográficos conducen a tablas de mortalidad que no corresponden al récord de mortalidad observado y que no están de acuerdo con las predicciones de límites biológicamente basados de la longevidad. Aunque no exista probablemente un programa genético para la muerte, la biología de nuestra especie establece limites inherentes sobre la longevidad humana. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - En démographie, la modélisation et l'élaboration de prévisions sur la mortalité sont souvent fondés sur l'observation des tendances à court terme dans les statistiques de mortalité et sur l'hypothèse que les taux de mortalité futurs présenteront des caractéristiques semblables à celles des taux les plus récents. Cette méthode d'extrapolation a amené certains démographes à conclure que l'espérance de vie atteindrait 100 ans dans un avenir rapproché. Des prévisions semblables ont également été tirées d'un modèle démographique qui a établi un lien hypothétique entre la modification des facteurs de risque et les changements dans les taux de mortalité. Ces prévisions sont étudiées dans le contexte des données sur la mortalité observées aux États-Unis, et leur plausibilité biologique est évaluée à la lueur des théories évolutionnistes de sénescence. Les résultats révèlent que ces modèles démographiques mènent à des tables de mortalitè qui sont incompatibles avec la mortalité observée ainsi qu'avec les prévisions des limites à la longévité à caractère biologique. Bien qu'il n'y ait sans doute pas de programme génétique pour la mortalité, la biologie de notre espèce impose des limites naturelles à la longévité humaine.

Unfortunately, for those who simply wish to use the tool, exploiting parallelism in physical problems brings with it a new set of challenges. Issues that were not important for vector supercomputer implementation can seriously impact a simulation's performance on a ML machine. These include decomposing the physical problem into naturally parallel parts, load balancing the computation across multiple processors, efficiently communicating data between processors, and fast movement of data in and out of the machine. It is these issues-which the engineer/scientist views as tangential to the task of actually solving the problem at hand, that have created the perception that parallel computers are a specialty breed and have slowed their acceptance by industry. As large parallel machines become more generally available to the traditional vector supercomputer user community, and programmers become accustomed to thinking about their problems from the perspective of parallelism, creating new parallel simulations will become commonplace and thus easier. A second component of the solution is auxiliary tools supplied by vendors and third parties.

Of the measures tested, the most reliable were the area under the concentration-time curve computed up to the time of the last quantifiable concentration, without extrapolation, and the peak concentration. However, being also sensitive to rate, the peak concentration as a measure of extent is of limited potential. It was concluded that overall, when testing bioequivalency in terms of extent of absorption, both consistency and accuracy need to be considered.

Calls for service arrive solely at nodes via independent, time-homogeneous Poisson processes. Calls finding the server busy enter a finite capacity queue which is depleted in a First-Come- First-Served (FCFS) manner. The server travels from his / her home base serving calls back-to-back, returning home only when he / she finds the system empty upon the completion of a service. The objective we consider is to minimize the average response time to an accepted call. The queueing system is analyzed via a busy period analysis, which uses a decoupling scheme to simplify the task of optimizing the home base location. Computational experience is discussed and a numerical example is presented. Generalizations of the model are also discussed.

NAA permits the simultaneous determination of approximately twenty elements present in minute concentrations in very small samples of powdered limestone. The resulting compositional data are stored in the Brookhaven Limestone Database, which currently comprises approximately one thousand analyses, including stone from sculptures in American and French museums and from medieval monuments and thirty-eight quarries in the Ile-de-France, Burgundy and Perigord. The multivariate statistical procedures used to group sculptures and relate them to quarry stone are summarized, and the results of several provenance studies are described.

One of the first issues considered by the committee was the development of a conceptual framework for ecological risk assessment, defined as "the characterization of the adverse ecological effects of environmental exposures to hazards imposed by human activities." Adverse ecological effects include all biological and nonbiological environmental changes that society perceives as undesirable. The committee's opinion was that a general framework is needed to define the relationship of ecological risk assessment to environmental management and to facilitate the development of uniform technical guidelines. The framework for human health risk assessment proposed by the NRC in 1983 was adopted as a starting point for discussion. CRAM concluded that, although ecological risk assessment and human health risk assessment differ substantially in terms of scientific disciplines and technical problems, the underlying decision process is the same for both. Therefore, CRAM recommended that the 1983 risk assessment framework be modified to accommodate both human health and ecological risk assessment. CRAM defined an integrated health/ ecological risk assessment framework consisting of the four components: Hazard Identification, Exposure Assessment, Exposure-Response Assessment, and Risk Characterization. CRAM further provided recommendations on the scope of issues to be addressed in ecological risk assessment, critical research needs, and mechanisms for providing more detailed guidance on the scientific content of ecological risk assessments.

Was investigated by labeling cells in vivo with [[sup14]C]-bicarbonate or [[sup14]C]-acetate. [[sup14]C]-bicarbonate was incorporated to the greatest extent into 16:0, 16:0 and 14:0 fatty acids, which are the predominant fatty acids of triacylglycerols. However, more than half of the [[sup14]C]-acetate was incorporated into longer and more desaturated fatty acids, which are constituents of membrane lipids. [[sup14]C]-acetate was incorporated most strongly into phosphatidylcholine, which rapidly lost during a 5-h chase period. The label associated with phosphatidyleth anolomine also decreased during the chase period, where as label in other membrane lipids and triacylglycerol increased. The dynamics of labeling, along with information regarding the acyl compositions of various lipids, suggested (that 1) the primary products of chloroplast fatty acids are formed by an elongation reaction that can utilize externally supplied acetate; 3) phosphatidylcholine is a site for desaturation of C[sub18] fatty acids; and 4) phosphatidylethamolamine may be a site for desaturation of C[sub20] fatty acids.

In a simple multiplicative model of risk, for example, if upper p-fractile (100pth percentile) values are used for each of several statistically independent input variates, the resulting risk estimate will be the upper p′-fractile of risk predicted according to that multiplicative model, where p′ > p. The amount of compounded conservativism reflected by the difference between p′ and p may be substantial, depending on the number of inputs, their relative uncertainties, and the value of p selected. Particular numerical examples of compounded conservatism are often cited, but an analytic approach may better serve to conceptualize and communicate its potential quantitative impact. This note briefly outlines such an approach and illustrates its application to the case of risk modeled as a product of lognormally distributed inputs.

This paper demonstrates how achievement of these goals can be enhanced by the use of stochastic food web models. The models simulate the dynamics of PCBs and mercury in the food webs of mink and great blue herons. All parameters of the models are treated as having knowledge uncertainty, due to imperfect knowledge of the actual parameter values for the site, chemicals, and species of interest. This uncertainty is an indicator of the potential value of additional measurements. In addition, those parameters that are responsible for variance among individual organisms are assigned stochastic uncertainty. This uncertainty indicates the range of body burdens that are expected when the end-point species are monitored. These two types of uncertainty are separately accounted for in Monte Carlo simulations of the models. Preliminary monitoring results indicate that the models give reasonably good estimates of heron egg and nestling body burdens and of variance among individuals.

Although classification of exposure inputs as uncertain or variable is somewhat subjective, food consumption rates and exposure duration are judged to have a predicted variance that is dominated by variability among individuals by age, income, culture, and geographical region. Whereas, biotransfer factors and partition factors are inputs that, to a large extent, involve uncertainty. Using ingestion of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and meat and soils assumed to be contaminated by hexachlorbenzene (HCB) and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) as cases studies, a Monte Carlo analysis is used to explore the relative contribution of uncertainty and variability to overall variance in the estimated distribution of potential dose within the population that consumes homegrown foods. It is found that, when soil concentrations are specified, variances in ratios of dose-to-concentration for HCB are equally attributable to uncertainty and variability, whereas for BaP, variance in these ratios is dominated by true uncertainty.

However, in assessing this probability distribution, the decision maker would quickly find hint/herself in an infinite regress. There is a range of possible dependencies between the decision maker's decision and the rival's action that lead to such a regress. This paper presents an approach to overcoming this infinite regress in performing decision analyses of competitive situations with a "pure" infinite regress. In a pure infinite regress there is a dependency between the decision maker's decision and the rival's choice of action: if the decision maker prefers one alternative to any other, then the rival's actions will reflect a belief by the rival that the preferred alternative is morn likely to be the decision maker's decision. The approach builds the decision maker's preferred rank order of alternatives, while simultaneously constructing a consistent model of the rival's beliefs about the decision maker's decision.

Various interest groups and state governments that oppose congressionally mandated siting of centralized high-level radioactive waste (HLW) storage and disposal facilities are using this negative imagery to create a powerful, emotional obstacle to the siting process. From statistical analyses of images and location preferences, researchers have claimed that possible significant economic losses could potentially accompany the siting of HLW facilities. However, several paradoxes, or self-contradictory statements, apparently exist between the responses expressed in surveys and the actual economic and demographic behavior evidenced in the marketplace. Federal policymakers need to evaluate whether the request for a change in siting policy is based on subjective fear of a potential negative economic effect or on proven negative effects. Empirically observed behavior does not support predicted negative economic effects based on survey responses.

Speakers at a workshop sponsored by the Environmental and Public/Occupational Health Standard's Steering Group addressed both the state-of-the-art in risk assessment and areas of difficulty that require further research. The Steering Group concluded that within the limits of the available data, risk-assessment techniques are a useful tool in decision-making. In the past, many government agencies have not been effective either in listening to public concerns or in communicating technical or scientific information about risks. This has been true at all levels of government. Workshop speakers discussed some ways that government agencies can more effectively communicate with the public. The Steering Group concluded that major efforts must be made to ensure that two-way communication takes place. Thus the results of the workshop show that effective management of risk requires both a scientific assessment of risk and a responsive consideration of the public's perception of risk. Intensive efforts must be made to ensure that effective two-way communication takes place between members of the public and the appropriate government agencies.

Maria Goeppert Mayer and Dixy Lee Ray. Maria Groeppert was among the best students in the period of German science. The author got to know her when she returned to working in physics in Baltimore after her children started school. During the war years, she and her students helped to develop some of the theories that were eventually used in building the hydrogen bomb. Dixy Lee Ray was an outstanding marine biologist, a remarkable administrator as head of the Atomic Energy Commission, a successful politician as governor of Washington State, and author of the important books 'Trashing the Planet" and "Environmental Overkill."

This pottery jug, dated ca. 1750-1700 B.C., epitomizes the network of international relations of a prosperous period: found in Egypt, the dolphins appear to be Minoan in style and yet the vessel shape and manufacture are of Levantine inspiration. Statistical evaluation of the chemical composition of its pottery ware by neutron activation analysis (NAA) makes it virtually certain that the Dolphin Vase originated in the Gaza region of southern Palestine. Trade relations between the latter region and Egypt, with consequent stylistic and technological exchange, intensified under the so-called "Hyksos," a Semitic dynasty that controlled the eastern Nile Delta between ca. 1700 and 1550 B.C.

The Bureau of Mines was concerned about possible indirect effects on electricity-intensive mineral processing facilities, and sponsored research to help it estimate these effects. The research developed a modeling system to estimate compliance strategies and associated changes in electricity costs under different legislation, and dissemination of these results helped inform and broaden discussion of alternative proposals. Early recognition that design of the modeling system would have to allow for flexibility and change enabled development of a system that the Bureau of Mines can use to analyze a broad range of issues involving the electric utility industry, and that utilities or states can use for developing and screening plans to comply with the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.

The government collects a tax to pay for urban manufacturing infrastructure and rural transportation infrastructure. Additions to the urban infrastructure reduce the area under cultivation, reducing pressure on frontier forests; rural wages rise and urban unemployment falls; the endogenous tax rate rises. Transportation improvements move urban unemployed into agriculture, raise rural wages, and expand the cultivated area, causing deforestation along frontiers; the tax rate falls, benefiting fixed-wage urban workers. Coalitions of interest groups are identified for several types of development policy.

Therefore, several utilities have reduced the scope of their DSM programs or focused these programs more on customer service and less on improving energy efficiency. This study uses the Oak Ridge Financial Model (ORFIN) to calculate the rate impacts of DSM. These simulations suggest that DSM programs, although they reduce electric bills, often increase electricity prices. However, utilities can run DSM programs that cut prices. Reducing DSM-program costs, focusing programs on those areas where large transmission and distribution investments can be deferred, timing DSM programs to match avoided costs, and shifting more of the utility's fixed costs to the monthly customer charge will cut DSM-induced price increases.

Manufacturing faces a fixed wage, which encourages urban unemployment. Changes in cultivated area in the rural sector involve deforestation or reforestation at frontiers. Government taxes to pay for urban infrastructure that assists the manufacturing sector. Increases in urban infrastructure may relieve or exacerbate frontier deforestation but expands manufacturing employment and reduces urban unemployment. Rural transportation improvements exacerbate frontier deforestation but expand employment in the urban manufacturing sector. A larger population, ceteris paribus, widens the rural-urban wage gap and exacerbates deforestation, but may cause manufacturing employment to expand or contract.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1995/04// VL - 15 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 221 EP - 231 SN - 02724332 AB - Human health and ecological risks must be balanced at hazardous waste sites in order to ensure that remedial actions prevent unacceptable risks of either type. Actions that are designed to protect humans may fail to protect nonhuman populations and ecosystems or may damage ecosystems. However, there is no common scale of health and ecological risk that would allow comparisons to be performed. This paper presents an approach to addressing this problem based on classifying all risks (i.e., health and ecological risks due contaminants and remediation) as insignificant (de minimis), highly significant (de manifestis), or intermediate. For health risks the classification is based on standard criteria. However, in the absence of national guidance concerning the acceptability of ecological risks, new ecological criteria are proposed based on an analysis of regulatory precedents. Matrices and flow charts are presented to guide the use of these risk categories in remedial decision making. The assessment of mercury contamination of the East Fork Poplar Creek is presented as an example of the implementation of the approach.

Yet, information about assigned values and preferences of members of the public, including economic measures of value, required by decision makers is often incomplete or unavailable. Existing sources of information about the public's values, for use in resource allocation decisions and damage assessment, include existing markets, public surveys, and public involvement. Each of these sources has serious limitations. Although markets are valuable sources of economic values for goods traded in those markets or for nonmarket goods whose use relies on consumption of goods traded in established markets, the values of some public goods are not available from market information. The benefits of some public goods are external to market transactions and financial accounts, though they often concern legally defined, but unprotectable rights.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1995/06// VL - 1 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 161 EP - 163 SN - 13541013 AB - This article discusses the phenomenon of the high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) found in subtropical and tropical oceans, where solar radiation is perennially abundant, the concentrations of dissolved inorganic phosphate and fixed inorganic nitrogen are vanishingly low. The HNLC phenomenon, first noted by physical and chemical oceanographers is anomalous and its cause has puzzled oceanographers for decades. Two basis hypotheses have been advanced to account for HNLC conditions. The top down hypothesis proposes that the biomass of the phytoplankton is regulated by zooplankton grazing, such that the photoautotrophs never escape from the grazing pressure imposed by the herbivores to form blooms that would lead to nutrient depletion. The alternative hypothesis is the bottom up control, in which phytoplankton growth and/or biomass is limited by the availability of some resource, such as light, or an essential nutrient other than phosphate and fixed inorganic nitrogen. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the late John Martin suggested that soluble iron was limiting phytoplankton biomass in all three HNLC regions. The iron limitation hypothesis embodied the essence of bottom up control of phytoplankton biomass and was met with great deal of skepticism by biological oceanographers. In October 1993, an 8 by 8 kilometer patch of HNLC water west of the Galapagos Islands was enriched with a 0.5 m solution of Iron (II). The results of the experiment demonstrated conclusively that the quantum yield of photosynthesis was physiologically limited by iron. In May-June 1995 a second iron enrichment study was conducted. In the second experiment, the results were dramatic and unambiguous. A major phytoplankton bloom developed in the patch. This pair of iron enrichment studies have made historical precedents in the field of oceanography and helped solved the phenomenon.

T1 - Methods to Approximate Joint Uncertainty and Variability in Risk. JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1995/06// VL - 15 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 411 EP - 419 SN - 02724332 AB - As interest in quantitative analysis of joint uncertainty and interindividual variability (JUV) in risk grows, so does the need for related computational shortcuts. To quantify JUV in risk, Monte Carlo methods typically require nested sampling of JUV in distributed inputs, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Two approximation methods proposed here allow simpler and more rapid analysis. The first consists of new upper-bound JUV estimators that involve only uncertainty or variability, not both, and so never require nested sampling to calculate. The second is a discrete-probability-calculus procedure that uses only the mean and one upper-tail mean for each input in order to estimate mean and upper-bound risk, which procedure is simpler and more intuitive than similar ones in use. Application of these methods is illustrated in an assessment of cancer risk from residential exposures to chloroform in Kanawah Valley, West Virginia. Because each of the multiple exposure pathways considered in this assessment had separate modeled sources of uncertainty and variability, the assessment illustrates a realistic case where a standard Monte Carlo approach to JUV analysis requires nested sampling. In the illustration, the first proposed method quantified JUV in cancer risk much more efficiently than corresponding nested Monte Carlo calculations. The second proposed method also nearly duplicated JUV-related and other estimates of risk obtained using Monte Carlo methods. Both methods were thus found adequate to obtain basic risk estimates accounting for JUV in a realistically complex risk assessment. These methods make routine JUV analysis more convenient and practical.

In general, predictive ecological assessments have produced vague qualitative results or have not addressed sufficient spatial or temporal scales to allow economists to assign monetary values to the predicted effects. The development of ecological risk assessment promises to address that problem. In the interim, ecologists and economists should avoid the problem of not being able to precisely predict ecological effects by using retrospective assessments to develop the interface between their sciences. By attempting to assign monetary values to the measurable changes in the condition of ecosystems that have been exposed to contamination or disturbance, they can focus on the conceptual issues of assigning an economic metric to properties for which there is no market, but which clearly have value.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1995/08// VL - 1 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 243 EP - 274 SN - 13541013 AB - Terrestrial higher plants exchange large amounts of CO2 with the atmosphere each year; c. 15% of the atmospheric pool of C is assimilated in terrestrial-plant photosynthesis each year, with an about equal amount returned to the atmosphere as CO2 in plant respiration and the decomposition of soil organic matter and plant litter. Any global change in plant C metabolism can potentially affect atmospheric CO2 content during the course of years to decades. In particular, plant responses to the presently increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration might influence the rate of atmospheric CO2 increase through various biotic feedbacks. Climatic changes caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration may modulate plant and ecosystem responses to CO2 concentration. Climatic changes and increases in pollution associated with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration may be as significant to plant and ecosystem C balance as CO2 concentration itself. Moreover, human activities such as deforestation and livestock grazing can have impacts on the C balance and structure of individual terrestrial ecosystems that far outweigh effects of increasing COT concentration and climatic change. In short-term experiments, which in this case means on the order of 10 years or less, elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration affects terrestrial higher plants in several ways. Elevated CO2 can stimulate photosynthesis, but plants may acclimate and (or) adapt lo a change in atmospheric CO2 concentration. Acclimation and adaptation of photosynthesis lo increasing CO2 concentration is unlikely to be complete, however. Plant water-use efficiency is positively related to CO2 concentration, implying the potential for more plant growth per unit of precipitation or soil moisture with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration. Plant respiration may be inhibited by elevated CO2 concentration, and although a naive C balance perspective would count this as a benefit to a plant, because respiration is essential for plant growth and health, an inhibition of respiration can be detrimental. The net effect on terrestrial plants of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration is generally an increase in growth and C accumulation in phytomass. Published estimations, and speculations about, the magnitude of global terrestrial-plant growth responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration range from negligible to fantastic. Well-reasoned analyses point to moderate global plant responses to CO2 concentration. Transfer of C from plants to soils is likely to increase with elevated CO2 concentrations because of greater plant growth, but quantitative effects of those increased inputs to soils on soil C pool sizes are unknown. Whether increases in leaf-level photosynthesis and short-term plant growth stimulations caused by elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration will have, by themselves, significant long-term (tens to hundreds of years) effects on ecosystem C storage and atmospheric CO2 concentration is a matter for speculation, not firm conclusion. Long-term field studies of plant responses to elevated atmospheric CO2 are needed. These will be expensive, difficult, and by definition, results will not be forthcoming for at least decades. Analyses of plants and ecosystems surrounding natural geological CO2 degassing vents may provide the best surrogates for long-term controlled experiments, and therefore the most relevant information pertaining to long-term terrestrial-plant responses to elevated CO2 concentration, but pollutants associated with the vents are a concern in some cases, and quantitative knowledge of the history of atmospheric CO2 concentrations near vents is limited. On the whole, terrestrial higher-plant responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration probably act as negative feedbacks on atmospheric CO2 concentration increases, but they cannot by themselves stop the fossil-fuel-oxidation-driven increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. And, in the very long-term, atmospheric CO2 concentration is controlled by atmosphere--ocean C equilibrium rather than by terrestrial plant and ecosystem responses to atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Using a root ingrowth bag technique the extent to which CO2 enrichment influenced the growth of L. perenne and T. repens roots under two contrasting nutrient regimes was examined. Root ingrowth bags were inserted for a fixed time into the soil in order to trap roots. It was also possible to follow the mortality of roots in bags inserted for different time intervals. Root ingrowth of both L. perenne and T. repens increased under elevated CO2 conditions. In L. perenne, root ingrowth decreased with increasing nutrient fertilizer level, but for T. repens the root ingrowth was not affected by the nutrient application rate. Besides biomass measurements, root length estimates were made for T. repens. These showed an increase under elevated CO2 concentrations. Root decomposition appeared to decrease under elevated CO2 concentrations. A possible explanation for this effect is the observed changes in tissue composition, such as the increase in the carbon:nitrogen ratio in roots of L. perenne at elevated CO2 concentrations.

We used the meteorological model to drive models which describe the photochemistry and air transport and dispersion. The photochemistry modeling is described in a separate paper. We tested the model against routine measurements and those of a major field program. During the field program, measurements included: (1) lidar measurements of aerosol transport and dispersion, (2) aircraft measurements of winds, turbulence, and chemical species aloft, (3) aircraft measurements of skin temperatures, and (4) Tethersonde measurements of winds and ozone. We modified the meteorological model to include provisions for time-varying synoptic-scale winds, adjustments for local wind effects, and detailed surface-coverage descriptions. We developed a new method to define mixing-layer heights based on model outputs. The meteorology and dispersion models were able to provide reasonable representations of the measurements and to define the sources of some of the major uncertainties in the model-measurement comparisons.

JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 1995/11// VL - 29 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 3055 EP - 3066 SN - 13522310 AB - Chemical measurements made during an air pollution event in Atlanta, GA have been compared with results from several photochemical simulations. Measurements included O 3 , primary reactive organic gases (ROG), aldehydes, PAN, total reactive nitrogen (NO y ) and H 2 O 2 , with vertical profiles for primary ROG. Photochemical models using two different chemical representations and a range of assumptions about winds, vertical mixing and emissions were used to simulate the event. Results show that assumptions about vertical mixing can cause a variation in simulated surface concentrations of primary hydrocarbons of a factor of two or more. A tendency to underestimate isoprene was found in comparison with measured vertical profiles. The models tend to overestimate concentrations of HCHO, H202 and PAN in comparison with measurements. Peak O 3 and concurrent NO y from helicopter measurements was used as a basis for evaluating individual model scenarios. Scenarios were developed with different O3 NOx- ROG sensitivity, but only the NO x - sensitive scenarios are consistent with measured O 3 , NO y and isoprene.

This intervention is of two types: (1) direct intervention through laws or regulatory orders that constrain compliance options of market participants, and (2) indirect intervention, reflected in utility decision making, and caused by a lack of regulatory policies that clarify the treatment of allowance market transactions. The paper uses a dynamic, linear programming model to empirically estimate the economic impacts of this intervention. An example of direct intervention is explored by modeling actual legislative and/or regulatory proposals in New York and Wisconsin; indirect intervention is explored through the development of a cost-uncertainty tradeoff curve. The results indicate that both types of intervention are costly and these costs must be weighed against any expected social benefits.

Five‐year life‐cycle costs for the six field instruments including purchase, modification, and operational costs, were compared to the costs of using a stationary commercial analytical laboratory to obtain identical VOC data. The present‐value life‐cycle cost of a single soil or water VOC analysis was calculated for the six field alternatives and for the commercial laboratory at both a fixed annual sample analysis rate and at maximum capacity. The total cost of a single field analysis event was found to be approximately 18% of the total cost of sending that sample to a commercial laboratory. Cost differences between alternatives were correlated to variations in performance capabilities.

The numerous controversial issues and regulatory failures are inherent in the overall regulatory structure, which is based on cost-of-service. The paper argues that replacing cost-of-service regulation with competitive market processes would cause many of these issues to disappear. We conclude that policy-makers in countries with developing energy markets ought to allow market processes to guide development in potentially competitive markets and avoid reliance on cost-of-service.

We use Joskow and Marron's method to analyze 20 utility commercial lighting programs and, like Joskow and Marron, find wide variations in industry reporting practices and savings evaluation methods. We extend the method by systematically accounting for several of the most important sources of variation and comment on how they influence total program costs. Our accounting also allows us to relate remaining program cost variations to the program sizes and the electric supply costs avoided by the programs. We draw qualified, yet affirmative, conclusions regarding the cost-effectiveness of the programs. Coauthors are Edward Vine, Leslie Shown, Richard Sonnenblick, and Chris Payne.

Many studies have considered the effects of atmospheric uncertainty in global warming but economic uncertainties have received less analysis. We consider a key component of economic uncertainty: the return on investments in new technologies. Using a mathematical programming model, we show that ignoring uncertainty in technology investment policy may lead to decreases as great as two percent in overall expected economic activity in the U.S. with even higher losses in possible future scenarios. These results indicate that both federal and private technology investment policies should be based on models explicitly incorporating uncertainty.

Restructuring proposals focus on more competitive market structures for generation and the integration of transmission within those structures. The proposed move to more competitive generation markets will expose utility costs that are above those experienced by alternative suppliers. Debate about these above-market, or transition, costs (e.g., their size, who will pay for them and how) has played a prominent role in restructuring proceedings. This paper presents results from a project to assess systematically strategies to address transition costs that will be exposed by restructuring the electricity industry.

Every day, laboratorians perform assays of pharmaceuticals derived from plants and occasionally are consulted by emergency departments about tests for toxic plants. Laboratories also create hazardous wastes that new plant technologies are able to clean up, as discussed in this article. Although several technologies are available for the cleanup of soil, wastewater, and groundwater, they often are not adaptable for specific problems or are not cost-effective. Recent research has indicated that green plants can be a viable alternative. A new technology, called phytoremediation, uses green plants to dewater, remove inorganic contaminants such as heavy metals and radionuclides, and degrade organic contaminants as plants absorb nutrients with their roots. Evapotranspiration is exploited to reduce the volume of aqueous waste. Free-living microorganisms of the rhizosphere that surrounds the root system participate in the degradation of man-made organic contaminants. This technology is important to the laboratory, which for years has contributed to pollution through the use of organic toxins, such as xylene, and heavy metals, such as mercury and chromium. This article explores recent developments in this field. This is the first in a four-part series on botany. Other articles focus on traditional and modern plant medicines, and poisonous plants.

We construct simple models of a stock market, and argue that the large variations may be due to a crowd effect, where agents imitate each other's behavior. The variations over different time scales can be related to each other in a systematic way, similar to the Levy stable distribution proposed by Mandelbrot to describe real market indices. In the simplest, least realistic case, exact results for the statistics of the variations are derived by mapping onto a model of diffusing and annihilating particles, which has been solved by quantum field theory methods. When the agents imitate each other and respond to recent market volatility, different scaling behavior is obtained. In this case the statistics of price variations is consistent with empirical observations. The interplay between "rational" traders whose behavior is derived from fundamental analysis of the stock, including dividends, and "noise traders," whose behavior is governed solely by studying the market dynamics, is investigated. When the relative number of rational traders is small, "bubbles" often occur, where the market price moves outside the range justified by fundamental market analysis. When the number of rational traders is large, the market price is generally locked within the price range they define.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 1996/02//2/1/96 VL - 235 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 606 EP - 612 SN - 00142956 AB - Tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins constitute a new group of Zn-endopeptidases which has recently been actively investigated with the purpose of correlating their biochemical properties to their neurobiocytosis inhibitory capacity. Crystallographic data show that Zn-endopeptidases are characterized by an active site with a Zn atom coordinated to two histidines and a glutamate-bound water molecule. The two histidines and the glutamate residues belong to the HEXXH motif which is characteristic of most Zn- endopeptidases. A fourth metal ligand is a glutamate in thermolysin-like proteinases, but it is an histidine in the astacin family of proteinases and in alkaline protease. Astacin and alkaline protease possess a tyrosine as fifth Zn ligand, whose position in the case of alkaline protease could not be determined by X-ray crystallography. Not much is known about the atom arrangement around the active site in tetanus neurotoxin. In this work X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to obtain information on the Zn coordination mode in tetanus neurotoxin. The near-edge and extended fine-structure absorption spectra of this toxin are compared with those of astacin, alkaline protease and thermolysin. The present data and sequence information suggest a new pattern of Zn coordination in tetanus neurotoxin with one water molecule and three aromatic residues as metal ligands. These residues are the two histidines of the characteristic motif and a tyrosine which is tentatively identified with Tyr242, on the basis of sequence comparison and mutagenesis experiments. The mean distances of the Zn from the nearest coordinated atoms is reported. Our results indicate that alkaline protease, like astacin, also possesses a tyrosine as a fifth ligand.

The Monte Carlo procedure produces CCDF estimates similar to those obtained with importance sampling in several recent PAs for the WIPP. The advantages of the Monte Carlo procedure over importance sampling include increased resolution in the calculation of probabilities for complex scenarios involving drilling intrusions and better use of the necessarily limited number of mechanistic calculations that underlie CCDF construction.

Inventors from three large national laboratories are compared to each other and to spin-off entrepreneurs from the same laboratories. A 1992 survey gathered data on personal characteristics, attitudes, and perceptions of situational variables from 213 inventors and 24 spin-off entrepreneurs. This paper identifies differences among the laboratories as well as differences between each of the laboratories and the entrepreneurs that have started ventures from Inventions discovered at these laboratories. These differences should be used to identify areas of change that are needed to increase the number of inventions that are spun-off from the laboratories. These changes include affecting the inventors' entrepreneurial attitudes and perceptions of key situational variables.

We find strong, consistent support that higher income blacks and higher income Hispanics tend to invest in energy saving conservation equipment. Also, while older blacks are less likely to invest, older Hispanics do. Blacks consider housing size in their decision to invest; Hispanics do not. We also find that energy tax credits play a statistically significant role in explaining energy conservation improvement activity for both blacks and Hispanics.

When customers have private information about their waiting costs, a system administrator who wishes to maximize steady-sate net benefits per unit of time (i.e. total benefits from service minus total waiting costs) may do so using a pricing and routing scheme that is incentive compatible; that is, no customer has any incentive to reveal his private information untruthfully. When the system administrator wants to maximixe toll revenue, the optimal scheme involves higher tolls, and hence lower congestion, than is socially optimal.

It is a fault tolerant multicast group communication system. The Totem system, developed at the University of California, provides reliable, totally ordered multicasting of messages over local area networks (LANs) and exploits the hardware broadcasts of such networks to achieve high performance. The Totem single-ring protocol provides reliable totally ordered delivery of messages using a logical token-passing ring superimposed on a LAN, such as an Ethernet. A hierarchy of protocols delivers messages to processes within process groups over a single LAN or over multiple LANs interconnected by gateways. The message ordering strategy of Totem employs time stamps to define a consistent total order on messages systemwide and sequence numbers to ensure reliable delivery of messages. Hardware broadcasts, multiple rings, filtering of messages, and process group locality enable Totem to achieve high throughput and low predictable latency.

Rigorous survey research has shown that the public holds intense, negative images of "nuclear" and "radioactive" technologies, activities, and facilities. Potential host states and opponents claim that these negative images, coupled with an amplification of negative risk events, will potentially stigmatize the area surrounding such facilities and result in significant economic losses. At issue is whether a supporting social amplification of risk model is applicable to communities hosting facilities that are part of the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Weapons Complex. An initial assessment of high-profile discrete and cumulative key negative risk events at such nuclear facilities does not validate that there has been stigmatization or substantial social and economic consequences in the host areas. Before any changes to major national policy are implemented, additional research is required to determine if the nearby public's "pragmatic logic," based on practical knowledge and experience, attenuates the link between public opinion and demographic and economic behaviors.

One technique used in ERAs involves estimating contaminant exposure to individual animals of selected species, which is then compared to a reference dose derived from the literature. Exposure estimates are conducted on those species which are representative of the different trophic levels found at the site. In many terrestrial systems, fossorial (burrowing) vertebrates are found in both lower and upper trophic levels. As part of the ERA conducted for Site 300, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's high-explosive test facility, contaminant exposures were estimated for fossorial and nonfossorial vertebrates spanning two trophic levels. The results of the evaluation revealed that a significant pathway by which fossorial vertebrates could be exposed to trichloroethylene in soil was through the inhalation of contaminated subsurface burrow air. This was the first time that the importance of this ecological exposure pathway has been recognized. The results of this analysis suggest that further research into the ecological significance of subsurface burrow air contaminated with volatile organic compounds is warranted.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1996/04// VL - 16 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 287 SN - 02724332 AB - The decision process involved in cleaning sites contaminated with hazardous, mixed, and radioactive materials is supported often by results obtained from computer models. These results provide limits within which a decision-maker can judge the importance of individual transport and fate processes, and the likely outcome of alternative cleanup strategies. The transport of hazardous materials may occur predominately through one particular pathway but, more often, actual or potential transport must be evaluated across several pathways and media. Multimedia models are designed to simulate the transport of contaminants from a source to a receptor through more than one environmental pathway. Three such multimedia models are reviewed here: MEPAS, MMSOILS, and PRESTO-EPA-CPG. The reviews are based on documentation provided with the software, on published reviews, on personal interviews with the model developers, and on model summaries extracted from computer databases and expert systems. The three models are reviewed within the context of specific media components: air, surface water, ground water, and food chain. Additional sections evaluate the way that these three models calculate human exposure and dose and how they report uncertainty. Special emphasis is placed on how each model handles radionuclide transport within specific media. For the purpose of simulating the transport, fate and effects of radioactive contaminants through more than one pathway, both MEPAS and PRESTO-EPA-CPG are adequate for screening studies; MMSOILS only handles nonradioactive substances and must be modified before it can be used in these same applications. Of the three models, MEPAS is the most versatile, especially if the user needs to model the transport, fate, and effects of hazardous and radioactive contaminants.

JO - Population & Development Review JF - Population & Development Review Y1 - 1996/06// VL - 22 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 231 EP - 264 SN - 00987921 AB - Scientists have long attempted to explain why closely similar age patterns of death are characteristic of highly diverse human and nonhuman populations. Historical efforts to identify a general "law of mortality" from these patterns that applied across species ended in 1935 when it was declared that such a law did not exist. These early efforts were conducted using mortality curves based on all causes of death. The authors predict that if comparisons of mortality are based instead on "intrinsic" causes of death (i.e., deaths that reflect the basic biology of the organism), then age patterns of mortality consistent with the historical concept of a law might be revealed. Using data on laboratory animals and humans, they demonstrate that age patterns of intrinsic mortality overlap when graphed on a biologically comparable time scale. These results are consistent with the existence of a law of mortality following sexual maturity, as originally asserted by Benjamin Gompertz and Raymond Pearl. The societal, medical, and research implications of such a law are discussed.

Los esfuerzos históricos para identificar una "ley de mortalidad" general de estos patrones, aplicables a través de las especies, se acabaron en 1935 cuando se declaró que no existe tal ley. Estas tentativas iniciales se condujeron empleando curvas de mortalidad basadas en todas las causas de muertes. Los autores predicen que si en vez las comparaciones de mortalidad se basaran en causas intrínsicas de muerte (p.ej. muertes que reflejan la biología básica del organismo), entonces patrones de mortalidad por edad consecuentes con el concepto histórico de una ley podrían ser revelados. Usando datos de animales de laboratorio y de seres humanos, los autores demuestran que los patrones de mortalidad intrínsicos por edad se superponen cuando se delinean entemente sobre una escala de tiempo biológicamente comparable. Estos resultados son consecuentes con la existencia de una ley de mortalidad luego de la madurez sexual, como lo sostuvieron originalmente Benjamín Gompertz y Raymond Pearl. Las inferencias en cuanto a sociedad, las médicas y de investigación de tal ley son examinadas. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Il y a longtemps que les scientifiques tentent d'expliquer les raisons pour lesquelles les scénarios de mortalité par âge qui sont très semblables sont caractéristiques des populations humaines et non humaines très différentes. Les efforts du point de vue historique visant à définir une "loi sur la mortalité" à partir de ces scénarios et s'appliquant à plusieurs espèces se sont terminés en 1935 alors qu'on a déclaré qu'une telle loi n'existait pas. Ces premières tentatives utilisaient des courbes de mortalité en fonction de toutes les causes de décès. Dans le présent article, les auteurs prédisent que si les comparaisons de mortalité sont effectuées plutôt en fonction des causes "intrinsèques" de décès (c.-à-d. les décès qui reflètent la biologie fondamentale de l'organisme), des scénarios de mortalité par âge compatibles avec le concept historique d'une loi pourraient fort bien émerger. A l'aide de données sur des animaux de laboratoire et des humains, ils ont démontré que les scénarios de mortalité intrinsèque par âge se superposent lorsque l'on en trace le graphique sur une échelle chronologique comparable du point de vue biologique. Ces résultats sont compatibles avec l'existence d'une loi de la mortalité suivant la maturité sexuelle, comme l'avaient soutenu Benjamin Gompertz et Raymond Pearl à l'origine. Les implications sociétales, médicales et en matière de recherche d'une telle loi sont discutées.

In this paper, we examine the extent to which uncertainty about global climate change could impact the precision of predictions of secondary outcomes such as health impacts of pollution. Using a model that links global climate change with predictions of chemical exposure and human health risk in the Western region of the United States of America (U.S.), we define parameter variabilities and uncertainties and we characterize the resulting outcome variance. As a case study, we consider the public health consequences from releases of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), a ubiquitous multimedia pollutant. By constructing a matrix that links global environmental change both directly and indirectly to potential human-health effects attributable to HCB released into air, soil, and water, we define critical parameter variances in the health risk estimation process. We employ a combined uncertainty/sensitivity analysis to investigate how HCB releases are affected by increasing atmospheric temperature and the accompanying climate alterations that are anticipated. We examine how such uncertainty impacts both the expected magnitude and calculational precision of potential human exposures and health effects. This assessment reveals that uncertain temperature increases of up to 5°C have little impact on either the magnitude or precision of the public-health consequences estimated under existing climate variations for HCB released into air and water in the Western region of the U.S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Risk Analysis: An International Journal is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Commercial and free, public-domain implementations of MPI have been available since 1994, running on both tightly coupled, massively parallel processing (MPP) machines and on networks of workstations (NOWs). The MPI standard was developed over 12 month period in 1993-1994 of intensive meetings involving more than 80 people from approximately 40 organizations, mainly from the U.S. and Europe. This article has concentrated on issues of programming in MPI and programming with other message-passing interfaces. MPI does not claim to be the definitive answer to all message-passing needs. MPI interface provides a useful basis for developing software for message-passing environments. A message-passing standard gives vendors a clearly defined base set of routines they can implement efficiently. MPI is used to specify the communication among set of processes forming a concurrent program. INSETS: MPI Implementations;More MPI Assistance;Library Communicator and Caching.

We formulate the nonlinear complementarity problem as a bound-constrained nonlinear least squares problem. Algorithms based on this formulation are applicable to general nonlinear complementarity problems, can be started from any nonnegative starting point, and each iteration only requires the solution of systems of linear equations. Convergence to a solution of the nonlinear complementarity problem is guaranteed under reasonable regularity assumptions. The converge rate is Q-linear, Q-superlinear, or Q-quadratic, depending on the tolerances used to solve the subproblems.

Testable implications of both market prices and R&D effort are specified in an empirical supply function for natural gas. The findings of the paper indicate marginal R&D costs closely parallel real wellhead prices and are an important element in explaining natural gas reserves and extraction. The policy implication is that non-conventional fuel tax credits affected both natural gas reserves and extraction activity via their influence on R&D behaviour.

However, this expansion, coupled with the departure of the Rams and the Raiders from Los Angeles, exacerbated an already inefficient alignment of the teams. This paper presents optimal realignments of the league's thirty teams based on the goal of minimizing total intradivisional travel. These realignments are both fairer and considerably less expensive for the teams than the 1995 alignment.

This paper outlines energy efficiency improvements for buildings and the overall technical potential to reduce CO2 emissions by cutting growth in energy consumption in buildings. Three scenarios of future buildings CO2 emissions in 2020 were developed. Under the business as usual scenario, buildings emissions increase 90% over 1990 levels. A scenario that involves adopting more efficient energy using practices and technologies is estimated to produce CO2 emissions 50% above 1990 levels. A scenario with powerful incentives for energy efficiency could lead to CO2 emissions 28% above 1990 levels. Much of the CO2 growth is the result of population growth and growth in energy services, especially in developing countries. Policy instruments to reduce energy use and related CO2 emissions include real increases in energy prices, aggressive use of energy efficiency policies, major programs to transfer knowledge, technology, and tools for transforming markets to the developing world and continued efforts to pursue research and development in technologies and practices to increase energy efficiency in buildings.

The key idea in relative debugging is that errors in a new version of a program can be located by automated, run-time comparison of the internal state of the new and reference versions. Relative debugging appears to be particularly useful in a scientific computing context, because of the complexity of scientific models and the frequent need to adapt existing models to incorporate new physics, algorithms, or computational techniques. Authors applied Guard to a large scientific code, the MM5 mesoscale atmospheric model, and obtained very satisfactory results and used to verify that two versions of the sequential MM5 were functionally equivalent, and to isolate discrepancies between sequential and parallel versions of MM5. One important direction that will significantly increase its utility is support for the debugging of parallel programs. INSETS: MM5.;MPMM..

The chief statistical difficulty in estimation with these models is that any physiological model that is even approximately realistic will have a large number of parameters, often comparable to the number of observations in a typical pharmacokinetic experiment (e. g., 28 measurements and 15 parameters for each subject). In addition, the parameters are generally poorly identified, akin to the well-known ill-conditioned problem of estimating a mixture of declining exponentials. Our modeling includes (a) hierarchical population modeling, which allows partial pooling of information among different experimental subjects, (b) a pharmacokinetic model including compartments for well-perfused tissues, poorly perfused tissues, fat, and the liver, and (c) informative prior distributions for population parameters, which is possible because the parameters represent real physiological variables. We discuss how to estimate the models using Bayesian posterior simulation, a method that automatically includes the uncertainty inherent in estimating such a large number of parameters. We also discuss how to check model fit and sensitivity to the prior distribution using posterior predictive simulation. We illustrate the application to the toxicokinetics of tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene [PERC]), the problem that motivated this work.

In the multiplicative approach, the rat model parameters are multiplied by the ratio of the mean values between humans and rats. Additive scaling of the distributions is defined by adding the difference between the average human value and the average rat value to each rat value. Finally, allometric scaling relies on established extrapolation relationships using power functions of body weight. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model was fitted independently to rat and human benzene disposition data. Human model parameters obtained by extrapolation and by fitting were used to predict the total bone marrow exposure to benzene and the quantity of metabolites produced in bone marrow. We found that extrapolations poorly predict the human data relative to the human model. In addition, the prediction performance depends largely on the quantity of interest. The extrapolated models underpredict bone marrow exposure to benzene relative to the human model. Yet, predictions of the quantity of metabolite produced in bone marrow are closer to the human model predictions. These results indicate that the multiplicative and allometric techniques were able to extrapolate the model parameter distributions, but also that rats do not provide a good kinetic model of benzene disposition in humans.

We have developed methodology for mathematically combining stochastic and subjective sources of data uncertainty, based on new "hybrid number" approaches. The methodology can be utilized in conjunction with various traditional techniques, such as PRA (probabilistic risk assessment) and risk analysis decision support. Hybrid numbers have been previously examined as a potential method to represent combinations of stochastic and subjective information, but mathematical processing has been impeded by the requirements inherent in the structure of the numbers, e.g., there was no known way to multiply hybrids. In this paper, we will demonstrate methods for calculating with hybrid numbers that avoid the difficulties. By formulating a hybrid number as a probability distribution that is only fuzzily known, or alternatively as a random distribution of fuzzy numbers, methods are demonstrated for the full suite of arithmetic operations, permitting complex mathematical calculations. It will be shown how information about relative subjectivity (the ratio of subjective to stochastic knowledge about a particular datum) can be incorporated. Techniques are also developed for conveying uncertainty information visually, so that the stochastic and subjective components of the uncertainty, as well as the ratio of knowledge about the two, are readily apparent. The techniques demonstrated have the capability to process uncertainty information for independent, uncorrelated data, and for some types of dependent and correlated data. Example applications are suggested, illustrative problems are shown, and graphical results are given.

The (near) singularity of A may or may not affect the performance of GMRES, depending on the nature of the system and the initial approximate solution. For singular A, we give conditions under which the GMRES iterates converge safely to a least-squares solution or to the pseudoinverse solution. These results also apply to any residual minimizing Krylov subspace method that is mathematically equivalent to GMRES. A practical procedure is outlined for efficiently and reliably detecting singularity or ill conditioning when it becomes a threat to the performance of GMRES.

The conditioning of the coefficient matrices in these so-called augmented systems deteriorates on later iterations, as some of the diagonal elements grow without bound. Despite this apparent difficulty, the steps produced by standard factorization procedures are often accurate enough to allow the interior-point method to converge to high accuracy. When the underlying linear program is nondegenerate, we show that convergence to arbitrarily high accuracy occurs, at a rate that closely approximates the theory. We also explain and demonstrate what happens when the linear program is degenerate, where convergence to acceptable accuracy (but not arbitrarily high accuracy) is usually obtained.

The literature related to the Gompertz equation and his proposed law of mortality is extensive. Researchers focus on what they believe represents an important conceptual and methodological development that has occurred since Gompertz's initial observations over 170 years ago. In presenting the historical work researchers have attempted to retain as much of the original language as possible to preserve the intent of authors as well as to entertain readers. Although the language of Gompertz and his contemporaries is often cumbersome. It is important to recognize that the time frames Gompertz used for his calculations encompassed the majority of the observed range of survival for humans at that time because survival beyond age 60 or 70 was uncommon. After observing similar patterns of geometrical progression in other tables of mortality, Gompertz believed he had discovered a general law of mortality that linked arithmetic increases in age with geometric increases in death rates.

The estimated probabilities are rough bounds and do notentirely dismiss the possibility of a critical condition; however, they do point to the difficulty of creating conditions under which a critical mass could be assembled (i.e., corrosion of containers, separation of neutron absorbers from the fissile material and collapse or precipitation of the fissile material). In addition, should a criticality occur in or near a container, the bounding consequence calculations showed that fissions from one critical event are quite small (< ~1020 fissions, if similar to aqueous and metal accidents and experiments). Furthermore, a reasonable upper bound of total critical events of 1028 fissions corresponds to only 0.1% of the number of fissions represented by the spent nuclear fuel inventory in a repository containing 70,000 metric tons of heavy metal (MTHM) (the expected size for the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

The key step is the approximation, by a multivariable Taylor series expansion, of the influence of random variables on the objective function. Statistical averaging of this expansion leads to a description of the objective function in terms of the moments of the random variables. Knowledgeor estimation of these moments allows the operation to be carried out using standard calculus based techniques. An example is with three variations to illustrate the use of this technique for nonlinear setsof equations and objective functions. The method presented here is applicable to process models in manufacturing, systems analysis, and risk analysis.

Hedonic pricing relationships are used to estimate changes in standardized marginal attribute prices for freezer volumes, food volumes, and annual energy consumption for refrigerators and refrigerator/freezers. From 1987/88 to 1993, energy performance standards significantly reduced energy consumption and at the same time, a historical decline in "quality-adjusted" real prices continued without disruption and consumers appeared to experience a welfare gain as a result of improving levels of energy efficiency.

Procedures used in recent performance assessments for the WJPP to translate regulations into a structure that facilitates quantitative analysis are described. Topics considered include (1) development of a clear conceptual representation for problems that are initially ill-defined, (2) conversion of qualitative guidance into numerical calculations, (3) explicit incorporation of different types of uncertainty (i.e., aleatory and epistemic) into analysis outcomes, (4) requirements for efficient computation and models at different levels of complexity, (5) use of sensitivity analysis to guide additional data collection and future calculations, (6) requirements for results to be presented and explained to audiences with different interests and levels of sophistication, and (7) ambiguity with respect to final uses of the analysis and its outcomes. The need to address similar concepts and problems arises in many analyses.

These potential losses reflect the difference between regulated prices for electricity generation and the prices that might occur in a fully competitive power market.This paper discusses alternative ways to calculate transition costs, focusing on differences between aggregate (top-down) vs. disaggregate (bottom-up) methods to calculate these losses. The paper also discusses the relative importance of different factors that determine transition-cost amounts and the strategies that utilities and their regulators can use to address these potential losses.

Seedlings of each species inoculated with basidiospores of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius(Pers.) Coker and Couch, a known my-cobiont of both loblolly pine and white oak, and uninoculated control seedlings received two simulated rains per week of either pH 3.6, 4.2, or 4.8 for 26 weeks. Higher acidity rainfall reduced the growth but increased mycorrhizal colonization of loblolly pine, while both loblolly pine and white oak exposed to these rains exhibited greater foliar injury. Inoculation with P. tinctoriusincreased growth and reduced foliar injury of both species. Foliar concentrations of P, S, and Cu in loblolly pine and white oak, Ca in loblolly pine, and Fe and Zn in white oak decreased with increasing rain acidity while the Al concentration of both species increased. Higher rainfall acidity also reduced soil pH and Ca and Mg concentrations while increasing soil AI. Foliage of inoculated seedlings of both species had higher N and P concentrations and lower Al concentrations than control seedlings. Following the final rain applications, a drought cycle was simulated by withholding irrigation for two weeks during which seedling xylem pressure potential and soil water potential were measured. One day after cessation of irrigation, xylem pressure potential of loblolly pine that had received pH 3.6 rains was lower than that of other treatments. Thereafter, xylem pressure potential and soil water potential of the inoculated treatment decreased below those of the control treatment in both species. These results suggest that acid deposition is detrimental to juvenile loblolly pine and white oak, but the magnitude of this effect is less than the positive response to ectomycorrhizal inoculation.

These guidelines state that prevention of weight gain at any age is achievable by balancing food intake with physical activity. The purposes of our study were to assess 1) whether vigorous exercise prevents weight gain with age, and 2) whether weight maintenance and an age-neutral adult overweight standard are consistent with a constant activity level over time. These hypotheses were tested in a national cross-sectional survey of 4769 and 2150 male runners aged 18-49 y and > 49 y, respectively. Before age 50 y, the rates at which body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) and waist circumference increased in association with age were the same in shorter-distance (< 16 km/wk) and longer-distance (> 80 km/wk) runners. Regardless of weekly running distance, before age 50 y, BMI increased at (+/-SE) 0.045 +/- 0.006 kg.m-2.y-1 and waist circumference increased at 0.186 +/- 0.014 cm/y. The percentage of runners who were moderately overweight (BMI > or = 25) was 21.5% before age 30 y and 30.1% in those between 45 and 49 y old. Men who ran greater distances were nevertheless leaner because weekly running distance was inversely related to BMI (slope +/- SE: -0.033 +/- 0.002 kg/m2 per km/wk) and waist circumference (-0.083 +/- 0.004 cm.km-1.wk-1). To be consistent, guidelines should either 1) recommend substantial increases in physical activity over time when promoting an age-neutral adult overweight standard, or 2) accept an age-adjusted overweight standard when recommending a constant level of physical activity over time.

The study is to determine the mercury levels with the use of the hair in muskrats and mink inhabiting contaminated sites on the ORR and to compare these levels to those found in animals from surrounding areas. The hair was chosen to monitor mercury levels for it is easily collected from live animals and its mercury levels have been correlated to the more biologically important kidney and liver mercury levels in several species. The study reveals the muskrats are tolerant of mercury contamination that would provide potential use of muskrats and indicators of environmental contamination.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 1997/05//5/1/97 VL - 245 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 730 EP - 737 SN - 00142956 AB - p21waf1/cip1 gene expression is induced by DNA damage in cells with wild-type p53 and contributes to the arrest of cell growth. It was demonstrated that under many experimental conditions, including oxidative stress, p21waf1/cip1 expression can be induced through p53-independent pathways. Since most of these experimental conditions induce the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and thus its activation, we evaluated p21waf1/cip1 mRNA levels in cells exposed to an oxidative stress, induced by diethylmaleate (Et2Mal), and in which the MAPK pathway was blocked. The expression of a dominant-negative mutant of MEK, the MAPK kinase that phosphorylates and activates MAPK, and of a dominant-negative [Asn17]Ras mutant prevented the Et2Mal-induced accumulation of p21waf1/cip1 mRNA. Similarly, the expression of MEK and of [Asn17]Ras mutants decreased the 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-mediated p21waf1/cip1 induction. Furthermore, TPA-induced and serum-induced p21waf1/cip1 mRNA accumulation was blocked by pretreating the cells with the antioxidant compound N-acetyleysteine, suggesting that oxidative stress is involved in these responses. p21waf1/cip1 mRNA levels reached a maximum within 2 h of adding Et2Mal or TPA; however, the rate of trascription from a p21waf1/cip1-promoter construct did not increase during this period. In contrast, cells treated with actomycin D show an increase of p21waf1/cip1 mRNA stability after Et2Mal treatment. This result suggests that the increase in p21waf1/cip1 mRNA at early times results from post-transcriptional regulatory events. Longer exposure to TPA may activate p21waf1/cip1 gene transcription through an Sp1-dependent mechanism, while Et2Mal treatment gradually inhibits p21waf1/cip gene transcription through oxidative changes that affect Sp1 binding to DNA.

The effectiveness of specific U.S. Coast Guard vessel inspection activities was evaluated using risk-based metrics that linked categories of root causes of accidents to the particular inspection activities designed to reduce the risk of each root cause category. The results demonstrate a risk based ranking of USCG inspection activities. These metrics, describes as measures of effectiveness (MOEs), yield insights regarding the most beneficial areas in which to concentrate inspection resources. Insights regarding quality of vessel casualty investigation data and database design as related to risk-based importance analysis are also discussed. The MOEs constructed in this study are specific to the USCG's Marine Inspection and Boarding Program, butthe methodology of the study is based on sound theoretical principles that are probably applicable to a range of maritime safety activities. Hence the methodology applies equally to other important governmental regulatory programs and can be similarly used to measure their effectiveness and as an aid to decision-making.

The second phase would increase pinning strength by either reducing the grain size or by the second phase pinning the flux itself. The following criteria for elements to be candidates for the APC approach are: (1) they must form intermetallic compounds with Cu or Sn and (2) they must have negligible solubility in Cu and Nb or they must be strong oxide formers. Many of the rare earth elements satisfy these criteria. To circumvent the large strains required to produce wires with a fine distribution of the second phase, film deposition techniques have been used. Critical current densities for Nb films doped with Ti and Y are about 4000 A/mm/sup 2/ at 6T and 4.2K.

JO - Academy of Management Review JF - Academy of Management Review Y1 - 1997/07// VL - 22 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 614 EP - 642 PB - Academy of Management SN - 03637425 AB - For many years the primary focus of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex was the production of nuclear materials and weapons, but, with the end of the Cold War, its mission has been changed to one of environmental cleanup. This dramatic shift in mission means that the complex is facing new internal and external problems that are forcing organizational change. In this article we examine the weapons complex through the lens of systems-based models of organization, and we find that the complex has moved from a closed to an open system. We also deduce that by remaining with a rational system, rather than moving to a natural system, the transition to the new mission is being made more difficult than it perhaps should be; this point becomes apparent through discussions on the specific problems that the complex is facing in the related areas of organization-culture change, the public's health-fears, and the management of risk. Our intent in this article is to draw attention to these management and social issues and to identify areas where there is a need for theoretical and empirical research.

We compare the six methods on the basis of the size of the residual term, the variability of that term, and the ease of implementation of the method; the comparison of these properties is necessary for the eventual development of a forecasting tool. Based on a comparison of the size of the residual term and the variation in the term over time the adaptive weighting Divisia, in either a fixed year or a rolling year specification, is most robust, exhibiting the smallest residual term with the least variation.

One either accepts this loss and takes more steps or re-biorthogonalizes the Lanczos vectors at each step. For the symmetric case, there is a compromise approach. This compromise, known as maintaining semiorthogonality, minimizes the cost of reorthogonalization. This paper extends the compromise to the two-sided Lanczos algorithm and justifies the new algorithm. The compromise is called maintaining semiduality. An advantage of maintaining semiduality is that the computed tridiagonal is a perturbation of a matrix that is exactly similar to the appropriate projection of the given matrix onto the computed subspaces. Another benefit is that the simple two-sided Gram­Schmidt procedure is a viable way to correct for loss of duality. A numerical experiment is included in which our Lanczos code is significantly more efficient than Arnoldi's method.

At the same time that political and sociological conditions are causing a revolution in health care, advanced technologies promise to introduce changes even more radical. Health care has long lagged far behind other industries in adopting information technologies. More recently, pressures to better manage rising costs have generated an intense interest in how the latest computing technologies can help. Virtual patient records are virtual in the sense they provide a view of data possibly configured differently at different locations, but united together into a common format for viewing at the required time. Virtual patient records provide a user with virtual access to data possibly scattered around the world. This principle of accessing information on demand from a distributed pool of resources is analogous to the way virtual memory creates larger memory spaces by accessing supplemental storage only when required.

In light of these perceptions, the debate over where to temporarily store or permanently dispose of spent nuclear fuel (atthe reactor site, an interim storage facility, or a permanent repository) provokes immense concern among possible host jurisdictions. To address these concerns, one needs to know if people's subjective opinions conform with the choices they make and are therefore reflected in their economic behavior. Argonne National Laboratory researchers used a hedonic model to complete a study of residential property value dynamics over a 5-year period within a 15-mile radius of two California nuclear power plants. They tracked the economic ramifications of decisions about the spent nuclear fuel stored at those reactors. The study revealed that no significant negative effects on residential property values resulted from a decision to move spent nuclear fuel fromwet storage to a dry-cask storage facility or from a request to extend the reactor operating permit (given future changes in the type of nuclear fuel storage facility that would accompany such an extension).

This information was compared with physician-supplied medical data to test whether 1) running benefits vegetarians, 2) alcohol and running distance contribute independently to concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and 3) running mitigates the hypertensive effects of alcohol. Greater reported weekly distance run by vegetarians was associated with greater HDL-cholesterol concentrations [slopes +/- SEs for men and women, respectively: 0.003 +/- 0.001 and 0.005 +/- 0.002 (mmol/L)/km] and lower waist (-0.06 +/- 0.02 and-0.08 +/- 0.02 cm/km), hip (-0.05 +/- 0.03 and -0.07 +/- 0.02 cm/km), and chest (-0.05 +/- 0.02 cm/km for both) circumferences. In men and women, alcohol and running distance contributed independently to higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations. Men who ran > 72 km and drank > 177 mL (6 oz) alcohol/wk were five times more likely to have clinically defined high HDL cholesterol (> or = 1.55 mmol/L, or > or = 60 mg/dL) than were nondrinkers running < 24 km/wk. Regardless of running level, men's blood pressure increased in association with alcohol intake. These data suggest that 1) running distance in vegetarians and vegans has the same relation to HDL cholesterol (increasing) and adiposity (decreasing) as reported previously for omnivores, 2) alcohol and running distance contribute independently to higher HDL cholesterol, and 3) running does not abate the hypertensive effects of alcohol in men. Also, vigorous exercise provides important health benefits beyond those obtained by diet.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 1997/12// VL - 16 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2529 EP - 2537 SN - 07307268 AB - A multispecies terrestrial test system was used to assess the environmental effectiveness of composting for bioremediation of explosives-contaminated soils. The assessment involved comparing biological responses, from the individual to the community level, in remediated and reference composts. A 6-month greenhouse study incorporated two soil invertebrate species, three plant species and an associated symbiont, and the naturally occurring complement of soil microorganisms. Measured parameters included growth and reproduction of earthworms and isopods; soil mite diversity; soil lipid class composition as an indicator of soil microbial community structure; plant growth, photosynthesis, and reproduction; and root nodulation and symbiotic N2 fixation. Additional short-term toxicity tests of seed germination and earthworm survival were performed to supplement the mesocosm data. Compost prepared from the explosives-contaminated soil inhibited several aspects of plant growth and physiology, but few adverse effects on soil invertebrates were detected. An initial lag in earthworm and isopod reproduction occurred in the reference compost, reflecting some inherent compost differences not associated with contamination, and highlighting the importance and the difficulty of finding appropriate reference soils for assessing hazardous waste sites or remediation technologies. Nonetheless, the results from this study suggested some nonlethal effects from the contaminated-soil compost, primarily to plants. The mesocosm methodology used in this study can bridge the gap between traditional short-term toxicity testing and longer term field assessments, and provide information on ecological effects by explicitly including measurements of multiple species across several levels of ecological organization.

The data for this studyare derived from simulator examination reports from the NRC requalification examination cycle for nuclear power plant operators. The ASEPprocedure was used to estimate human error probability (HEP) values for critical tasks, and the HEP results were compared with the failure rates observed in the examinations. The ASEP procedure was applied by PNNL operator license examiners who supplemented the limited information in the examination reports with expert judgment based upon their extensive simulator examination experience. Comparison of the average of the ASEP HEP values with the fraction of the population actually failed and demonstrated that the ASEP HEP values are larger (conservative) by a statistically significant average factor of two. Partitioning of tasks into subgroups based on the ASEP HEP values and comparison of the subgroup average ASEP HEP values with observed subgroup failure rates showed little or no conservatism for small ASEP HEP values, but considerable conservatism for larger ASEP HEP values.

Using Elfin, the paper derives four scenarios and some sensitivities for new generating capacity construction plans. These scenarios simulate choices among several generic generating technologies made to achieve the lowest overall net present cost of operating the power system through 2015. Key results include: (i) single-cycle natural gas-fired combustion turbines prove highly attractive for Poland because of its urgent need for peaking capacity, (ii) nuclear power cannot be excluded from consideration for Poland on economic grounds alone, (iii) the effectiveness of conservation to reduce airborne emissions is limited under scenarios in which nuclear generation is adopted, and (iv) the attractiveness of nuclear is shown to be highly sensitive to assumptions on some uncertain inputs, suggesting the need for a more detailed analysis before policy implications can be drawn.

A survey of US households is used to estimate the value of fuel availability and its influence on choice of fuel for a fuel-flexible vehicle and the choice of a dedicated-fuel engine for a vehicle. The marginal value of availability decreases as the percent of stations offering a new fuel increases. For fuel-flexible vehicles the cost of lack of availability decreases from US $0.35/gallon at 1% to US $0.02/gallon when 50% of stations offer the fuel.

Data from the 1993 Commodity Flow Survey, the first comprehensive national survey of freight shipments since 1977, indicate that the shipment of freight by truck in the United States is predominantly an interstate phenomenon. In fact, interstate shipments comprise more than 70% of the total ton-miles and nearly 55% of the value of commodities shipped by truck in 1993. In addition, the proportions of truck freight shipments originating from, destined to, passing through, or occurring entirely within a state vary significantly from state to state. While interstate shipments make up the largest portion of shipments nationally, intrastate trucking is more significant in large states such as Texas and California, as well as in corner states such as Florida, Maine, and Washington. The proportion of through traffic also varies widely from state to state. These findings could have important implications for highway revenue allocations, since trucks carrying freight play a significant role in damage to highway pavement and structures.

Recent studies suggest that tropical grasslands and savannas may contribute more to the ‘missing sink’ than was previously appreciated, perhaps as much as 0.5 Pg (= 0.5 Gt) carbon per annum. The rapid increase in availability of productivity data facilitated by the Internet will be important for future scaling-up of global change responses, to establish independent lines of evidence about the location and size of carbon sinks.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1998/03// VL - 4 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 235 EP - 246 SN - 13541013 AB - Abstract Folivorous insect responses to elevated CO2 -grown tree species may be complicated by phytochemical changes as leaves age. For example, young expanding leaves in tree species may be less affected by enriched CO2 -alterations in leaf phytochemistry than older mature leaves due to shorter exposure times to elevated CO2 atmospheres. This, in turn, could result in different effects on early vs. late instar larvae of herbivorous insects. To address this, seedlings of white oak (Quercus alba L.), grown in open-top chambers under ambient and elevated CO2 , were fed to two important early spring feeding herbivores; gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.), and forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria Hübner). Young, expanding leaves were presented to early instar larvae, and older fully expanded or mature leaves to late instar larvae. Young leaves had significantly lower leaf nitrogen content and significantly higher total nonstructural carbohydrate:nitrogen ratio as plant CO2 concentration rose, while nonstructural carbohydrates and total carbon-based phenolics were unaffected by plant CO2 treatment. These phytochemical changes contributed to a significant reduction in the growth rate of early instar gypsy moth larvae, while growth rates of forest tent caterpillar were unaffected. The differences in insect responses were attributed to an increase in the nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) of early instar forest tent caterpillar larvae feeding on elevated CO2 -grown leaves, while early instar gypsy moth larval NUE remained unchanged among the treatments. Later instar larvae of both insect species experienced larger reductions in foliage quality on elevated CO2 -grown leaves than earlier instars, as the carbohydrate:nitrogen ratio of leaves substantially increased. Despite this, neither insect species exhibited changes in growth or consumption rates between CO2...

We examined how changes in high-risk sexual behavior and the growth pattern of the epidemic influence the cost-effectiveness of preventive vaccines and of therapeutic vaccines. We found that the effect of reductions in condom use is more important for therapeutic vaccines than for preventive vaccines. Therapeutic vaccines may increase HIV seroprevalence in the population, unless the vaccine program is accompanied by increased condom use. Epidemic growth patterns also influence the cost-effectiveness of both vaccines, but the effects are more pronounced for preventive vaccines, which are more cost-effective in an early-stage epidemic than in a late-stage epidemic.

The rates decrease with increase in pH. The pH dependence is probably related to protonation of ferrate(VI) and ammonia. The theoretical curve through data gave the rate constants; k7(HFeO4 ‐ + NH4 +) = 8.46±0.50x10‐1 M‐1s‐1; kg(FeO4 2‐ + NH4 +) = 1.26±0.11x10‐1 M‐1s‐1; k10(FeO4 2‐ + NH3) = 1.19±0.10x10‐1 M‐1s‐1. The activation parameters, ?H? and ?S? were found to be 67.3 ± 3.5 kJ/mol and 33.1 ± 0.2 J/mol.K, respectively. When ferrate(VI) was used in excess relative to ammonia in the oxidation reaction, 22 % of ammonia removal was achieved. The usefulness of ferrate(VI) to remove ammonia from wastewater is discussed.

A careful consideration of the views of the institute and other interested organizations, can help to establish a properly balanced policy for air transportation and further strengthen the country as a key player in the field of global aviation. Among the conclusions was the principal point that demand for air travel should not be constrained. It is firmly in the interests of the economy of Great britain and its consumers, that growth in air travel should be allowed to continue, provided the costs imposed should be taken to encourage the additional capacity which is required in order to meet demand.

The author holds that imperfect reasoning gives rise to many problems like bugs in computer programs, flaws in chip designs and errors in mathematical proofs. Automated reasoning, according to the author, is a one step solution to all these problems. The focus of automated reasoning is the design and implementation of computer programs that flawlessly apply logical reasoning to reach the objective, irrespective of the area of interest. The significance of reasoning programs like OTTER, an automated reasoning program, can be easily determined by the fact that they have also been used by educators in undergraduate logic courses and in graduate level courses for interactive theorem proving, besides their being, by their very nature, a perfect assistant in puzzle solving. Further, automated reasoning programs don't use instantiation to draw conclusions but logical unification always remains at the core of these programs.

Recent studies have shown that peak blood concentrations of TCA in rats do not occur until approximately 12 hours following an oral dose of TRI. However, blood concentrations of TRI reach a maximum within an hour and are nondetectable after 2 hours.(1) The results of a study which examined the enterohepatic recirculation (EHC) of the principle TRI metabolites(2) was used to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for TRI, which includes enterohepatic recirculation of its metabolites. The model quantitatively predicts the uptake, distribution and elimination of TRI, trichloroethanol, trichloroethanol-glucuronide, and TCA and includes production of metabolites through the enterohepatic recirculation pathway. Physiologic parameters used in the model were obtained from the literature.(3,4) Parameters for TRI metabolism were taken from Fisher et al.(5) Other kinetic parameters were found in the literature or estimated from experimental data.(2) The model was calibrated to data from experiments of an earlier study where TRI was orally administered.(2) Verification of the model was conducted using data on the enterohepatic recirculation of TCEOH and TCA,(2) chloral hydrate data (infusion doses) from Merdink,(6) and TRI data from Templin(l) and Larsonand Bu11.(7) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Risk Analysis: An International Journal is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

For many applications, however, the use of massed and evaporating particles would provide a model of physical processes that could be used in product testing or design. In this article we describe the TrackPack toolkit, which provides an integrated interface for computing massless, massed, and evaporating particle trajectories in steady flow. In all cases, we assume a noncoupled model and compute particle trajectories through an existing vector field by numerically integrating with forward Euler, fourth-order Runge-Kutta, or an analytic streamline calculation. The TrackPack software effort was motivated by an industrial application to model pollution control systems in industrial boilers. We briefly describe the project and the visualization environment, and we demonstrate the necessity for massed, evaporating models in the application.

This process may be simplified by evaluating just two primary factors, the relative performance advantage and the degree of operational novelty introduced by the new technology relative to its antecedent We introduce the concept of operational novelty as a contraction of the innovation attributes of complexity and compatibility. Challenging a mature, established technology with a product based on new technology is risky, although the risk can be moderated by high performance advantage and low operational novelty. A product's performance advantages and operational novelties should be evaluated and compared before a strategy for market introduction is planned. An oblique rather than direct challenge to the established technology may be advised when performance advantage is marginal or operational novelty is high.

The strategy provides the maximal typical long-term growth rate of investor's capital. We determine the optimal fraction of capital that an investor should keep in risky assets as well as weights of different assets in an optimal portfolio. In this approach both average return and volatility of an asset are relevant indicators determining its optimal weight. Our results are particularly relevant for very risky assets when traditional continuous-time Gaussian portfolio theories are no longer applicable.

If the problem has a solution, the algorithm is superlinearly convergent from any positive starting points, even for degenerate problems. Each iteration requires only one matrix factorization and at most two backsolves. Only one backsolve is necessary if the problem is known to be nondegenerate. The algorithm generates points in a large neighborhood of the central path and has the lowest iteration complexity obtained so far in the literature. Moreover, the iteration sequence converges superlinearly to a maximal solution with the same Q-order as the complementarity sequence.

Classical attempts at qualitative IO analysis have derived the structure from the direct IO coefficient table. In more recent attempts, greater sophistication has been achieved by incorporating a degree of quantification into the qualitative analysis. Also, the concept of important coefficients (IC) has been used for the construction of the adjacency matrix. The present study is carried out along these lines for the Indian economy.

Hence, other factors, such as irreversible improvements in technical efficiency, must be understood in order to describe both past and future household energy demand. In this paper we consider irreversible efficiency improvements as a major reason for the moderate growth in energy demand after the plummeting of the oil price in 1985. We test different econometric models to take into account efficiency indicators. The major conclusions of our investigation are: (i) price elasticities are different for rising and falling prices--for the latter they are close to zero, implying a low rebound-effect in the residential sector; (ii) technical efficiency is an important parameter for describing and forecasting energy demand; and (iii) income elasticities turn out to be higher once we incorporate indicators of technological efficiency in the process of estimating energy demand.

This article shows how BUREC water subsidies could be eliminated by increasing federal water and power rates on long-term irrigation contracts. The welfare effects of this "desubsidization" are examined for California's San Joaquin Valley which uses federal power for groundwater pumping and the conveyance of surface water. A linear-programming model provides estimates of the change in farm profitability from imposing full-cost federal water and power rates. The desubsidization has a disproportionate impact on growers of water intensive crops while benefiting non-agricultural power users and the U.S. Treasury. This points to the conclusion that charging full-cost rates would redistribute $4.58 million of profit-income per year without significant regional impacts on growers.

This is our first opportunity to report long-term follow-up data and late toxicities in 29 patients treated with myeloablative doses of iodine-131-anti-CD20 antibody (anti-B1) and autologous stem-cell rescue.Patients and Methods: Trace-labeled biodistribution studies first determined the ability to deliver higher absorbed radiation doses to tumor sites than to lung, liver, or kidney at varying amounts of anti-B1 protein (0.35, 1.7, or 7 mg/kg). Twenty-nine patients received therapeutic infusions of single-agent (131)I-anti-B1, given at the protein dose found optimal in the biodistribution study, labeled with amounts of (131)I (280 to 785 mCi [10.4 to 29.0 GBq]) calculated to deliver specific absorbed radiation doses to the normal organs, followed by autologous stem-cell support.Results: Major responses occurred in 25 patients (86%), with 23 complete responses (CRs; 79%). The nonhematopoietic dose-limiting toxicity was reversible cardiopulmonary insufficiency, which occurred in two patients at RIT doses that delivered > or = 27 Gy to the lungs. With a median follow-up time of 42 months, the estimated overall and progression-free survival rates are 68% and 42%, respectively. Currently, 14 of 29 patients remain in unmaintained remissions that range from 27+ to 87+ months after RIT. Late toxicities have been uncommon except for elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels found in approximately 60% of the subjects. Two patients developed second malignancies, but none have developed myelodysplasia (MDS).Conclusion: Myeloablative (131)I-anti-B1 RIT is relatively well tolerated when given with autologous stem-cell support and often results in prolonged remission durations with few late toxicities.

It constructs an orthogonal reduction of a matrix pencil into an upper Hessenberg pencil. The RKS method is useful when the matrix pencil may be efficiently factored. This paper considers approximately solving the resulting linear systems with iterative methods. We show that a Cayley transformation leads to a more efficient and robust eigensolver than the usual shift-invert transformation when the linear systems are solved inexactly within the RKS method. A relationship with the recently introduced Jacobi­Davidson method is also established.

The model is notable because it allows a large number of individual economic agents to be modeled at a high level of detail and with a great degree of freedom. Some of the features of ASPEN are (a) a sophisticated message-passing system which allows individual pairs of agents to communicate with one another, (b) the use of genetic algorithms to simulate certain agents' learning, and (c) a detailed financial sector which includes a banking system and a bond market. Results from runs of the model are also presented.

Understanding key driving forces in the energy end-use sectors provides insights for development of projections of future greenhouse gas emissions. This paper examines global and regional historical trends in energy use and carbon emissions in the industrial, buildings, transport, and agriculture sectors. Activity and economic drivers as well as trends in energy and carbon intensity are evaluated. We show that macro-economic indicators, such as GDP, are insufficient for comprehending trends and driving forces at the sectoral level. These indicators need to be supplemented with sector-specific information for a more complete understanding of future energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

In the estimation of transportation risks, population bordering a route is a direct factor in determining consequences and an indirect factor in determining exposure times, accident probabilities and seventies, and otherparameters. Proposals to transport RAM may draw intense resistance from 'stakeholders' based on concern for population concentrations along urban segments but the length of a route segment is also a determinative factor in estimating the transport risks. To quantify the relative importance of these two factors, a potential route for transportof SNF (strict use of Interstate highways) was selected and comparedwith a modified version that bypassed urban areas. The results suggest that emphasis on Interstate highways minimizes total route and urban segment risks.

These bounds may be bad news for invariant subspaces corresponding to clustered eigenvalues or clustered singular values of much smaller magnitudes than the norms of matrices under considerations. In this paper, we consider how eigenspaces of a Hermitian matrix A change when it is perturbed to à = D*AD and how singular spaces of a (nonsquare) matrix B change when it is perturbed to &Btilde; = D1* BD2, where D, D1, and D2 are nonsingular. It is proved that under these kinds of perturbations, the changes of invariant subspaces are proportional to the reciprocals of relative gaps between subsets of spectra or subsets of singular values. The classical Davis­Kahan sin θ theorems and Wedin sin θ theorems are extended.

That is, given a correlation function f reflecting the desire for each pair of elements to be near each other, find all permutations it with the property that if π(j) < π(k) then f(i,j) ≥ f(i, k) and f(j, k) ≥ f(i, k). This seriation problem is a generalization of the well-studied consecutive ones problem. We present a spectral algorithm for this problem that has a number of interesting features. Whereas most previous applications of spectral techniques provide only bounds or heuristics, our result is an algorithm that correctly solves a nontrivial combinatorial problem. In addition, spectral methods are being successfully applied as heuristics to a variety of sequencing problems, and our result helps explain and justify these applications.

"Guillotine" subdivisions have a simple recursive structure that allows one to search for "optimal" such subdivisions in polynomial time, using dynamic programming. In particular, a consequence of our main theorem is a very simple proof that the k-MST problem in the plane has a constant-factor polynomial-time approximation algorithm: we obtain a factor of 2 (resp., 3) for the L[SUB1] metric, and a factor of 2√2 (resp., 3.266) for the L[SUB2] (Euclidean) metric in the case in which Steiner points are allowed (resp., not allowed).

The rebound effect measures the tendency to "take back" potential energy savings from fuel economy improvements as increased travel. Vehicle use models were estimated for one, two-, three-, four-, and five-vehicle households. The results confirm recent estimates based on national or state-level data: a long-run "take back" of about 20 percent of potential energy savings. Consumer responses to changes in fuel economy or fuel price per gallon appear to be equal and opposite in sign. Recognizing the interdependencies among miles of travel, fuel economy and price is key to obtaining meaningful results.

Organic speciation for methanol, natural gas, and LP gas were consistent with previous measurements. However, several previously undetected organic by-products were observed from ethanol oxidation and pyrolysis. Organic speciation was found to vary significantly between methanol and ethanol and less so between natural gas and LP gas. Non-methane organic gases (NMOG) and specific reactivities of the respective fuels were measured, and trends with respect to proposed reactivity adjustment factors are discussed. A qualitative comparison of NMOG quantified in the flow reactor tests with the results of recent vehicle tests is also reported. The most significant differences in the comparisons were observed for toxic compounds, including the lack of detection of acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, and benzene from flow reactor experiments of methanol degradation, and the lack of detection of 1,3-butadiene from flow reactor experiments of ethanol combustion. Possible sources for the formation of these compounds in vehicle tests are discussed.

JO - Management Science JF - Management Science Y1 - 1999/01// VL - 45 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 42 EP - 58 PB - INFORMS: Institute for Operations Research SN - 00251909 AB - For organizations whose objective is not necessarily the maximization of a financial quantity, there is little written in the economics and management literature about methods that quantify their effectiveness. Potential users of such methodologies are typically governmental organizations and agencies to whom Congress allocates funding periodically, but may also include many nonprofit organizations. Such research is importantly needed because government is no longer making outlay allocations on a merely historical basis, but is using as a criterion how effectively an organization uses its resources in meeting its objectives. In this paper we analyze the Maritime Safety Program of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), which is responsible for monitoring the quality of vessels that sail in U.S. waters, and present measures of effectiveness (MOEs) for the Program. We do this at two levels of activity: at an overall program level (Level I) and at a component activity level (Level II). Poisson models are used to construct the MOEs using data on maritime casualties (accidents) between 1990-1993 from the real-time Marine Safety Management System (MSMS) database maintained by the Coast Guard. A feature of the empirical methodology is the Bayesian imputation of missing data. The MOEs constructed here have at least four important uses. First, as the name suggests, they perform the function that financial quantifies such as returns on equity or returns on sales perform for private-sector organizations--that is, they are indicators of efficiency. Second, they can be used as inputs into allocative decisions within the organization. For example, the Level II MOEs can be used as inputs into a programming problem that determines the optimal allocation of resources among component activities. Third, internal performance evaluation across USCG Programs or across Port Units (called Marine Safety Offices) can be based on their respective Level I MOEs. Fourth, and possibly the most important long-run consideration, MOEs provide the basis for better regulation by the government. Without MOEs the nature of regulation is probably suboptimal. By adopting these MOEs as criteria, it will be easier for the government to redesign those aspects of its regulation of the Coast Guard which curtails incentives.

A recent approach for saddle point computation is specialized, by way of a specific perturbation technique and unique scaling method, to convex optimization problems with differentiable objective and constraint functions. In each iteration the update directions for primal and dual variables are determined by gradients of the Lagrangian. These gradients are evaluated at perturbed points that are generated from current points via auxiliary mappings. The resulting algorithm suits massively parallel computing, though in this article we consider only a serial implementation. We test a version of our code embedded within GAMS on 16 nonlinear problems, which are mainly large. These models arise from multistage optimization of economic systems. For larger problems with adequate precision requirements, our implementation appears faster than MINOS.

We have synthesized and characterized a series of novel N-terminally extended multiply-tyrosinated somatostatin analogs that possess high binding affinity for somatostatin receptors, exhibit biological activity comparable to the native peptide and retain these characteristics after iodination. These analogs can be radio-iodinated to high specific activities. Following radio-iodination, these analogs exhibit minimal radiolysis and may be clinically useful for tumor localization, scanning and therapy.

Official motor vehicle emission inventories estimate that excess emissions during cold-start operation contribute a significant fraction of all hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxide (NO[subx]) emissions from California vehicles. In an effort to verify these estimates under real-world conditions, vehicle emissions were measured in an underground parking garage in Oakland, CA, during March 1997. Hot stabilized emissions were measured as vehicles arrived at the garage in the morning, and cold-start emissions were measured as vehicles exited in the afternoon; the incremental, or excess, emissions associated with vehicle starting were calculated by difference. Composite emissions from ∼135 vehicles were sampled during each of six morning and six afternoon periods. Measured stabilized exhaust emissions were 19 ± 2 g nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC), 223 ± 17 g CO, and 8.6 ± 1.3 g NO[subx] per gal of gasoline consumed. Cold-start emissions of 69 ± 2 g NMHC/gal, 660 ± 15 g CO/gal, and 27.8 ± 1.2 g NO[subx]/gal were measured for vehicles spending an average of ∼ 60 sec in the garage after starting in the afternoon. Using second-by-second emissions data from California's light-duty vehicle surveillance program, average fuel use during cold start was estimated to be ∼ 0.07 gal, and the coldstart period was estimated to last for ∼200 sec. When coldstart emission factors measured in the garage were scaled to represent the full 200-sec cold-start period, incremental start emission factors of 2.1 g NMHC, 16 g CO, and 2.1 g NO[subx] per vehicle start were calculated. These emission factors are lower than those used by California's motor vehicle emission inventory model (MVEI 7G) by 45% for NMHC...

Furthermore, one-third of men with phenotype A consuming a high-fat diet converted to phenotype B with a low-fat diet. OBJECTIVE: We investigated effects of further reduction in dietary fat in men with persistence of LDL subclass phenotype A during both high- and low-fat diets. DESIGN: Thirty-eight men who had shown phenotype A after 4-6 wk of both high- and low-fat diets consumed for 10 d a 10%-fat diet (2.7% saturates) with replacement of fat with carbohydrate and no change in cholesterol content or ratio of polyunsaturates to saturates. RESULTS: In 26 men, phenotype A persisted (stable A group) whereas 12 converted to phenotype B (change group). LDL cholesterol did not differ from previous values for 20-24%-fat diets in either group, whereas in the change group there were higher concentrations of triacylglycerol and apolipoprotein B; greater mass of HDL, large LDL-I, small LDL-III and LDL-IV, and HDL3; lower concentrations of HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I; and lower mass of large LDL-I and HDL2. CONCLUSIONS: There is no apparent lipoprotein benefit of reduction in dietary fat from 20-24% to 10% in men with large LDL particles: LDL-cholesterol concentration was not reduced, and in a subset of subjects there was a shift to small LDL along with increased triacylglycerol and reduced HDL-cholesterol concentrations.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1999/03// VL - 5 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 293 EP - 309 SN - 13541013 AB - AbstractA free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) system was designed to permit the experimental exposure of tall vegetation such as stands of forest trees to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]a) without enclosures that alter tree microenvironment. We describe a prototype FACE system currently in operation in forest plots in a maturing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stand in North Carolina, USA. The system uses feedback control technology to control [CO2] in a 26 m diameter forest plot that is over 10 m tall, while monitoring the 3D plot volume to characterize the whole-stand CO2 regime achieved during enrichment. In the second summer season of operation of the FACE system, atmospheric CO2 enrichment was conducted in the forest during all daylight hours for 96.7% of the scheduled running time from 23 May to 14 October with a preset target [CO2] of 550 μmol mol–1, ≈ 200 μmol mol–1 above ambient [CO2]. The system provided spatial and temporal control of [CO2] similar to that reported for open-top chambers over trees, but without enclosing the vegetation. The daily average daytime [CO2] within the upper forest canopy at the centre of the FACE plot was 552 ± 9 μmol mol–1 (mean ± SD). The FACE system maintained 1-minute average [CO2] to within ± 110 μmol mol–1 of the target [CO2] for 92% of the operating time. Deviations of [CO2] outside of this range were short-lived (most lasting < 60 s) and rare, with fewer than 4 excursion events of a minute or longer per day. Acceptable spatial control of [CO2] by the system was achieved, with over 90% of the entire canopy volume within ± 10% of the target [CO2] over the exposure season. CO2 consumption by the FACE system was much higher than for open-top chambers on an absolute basis, but similar to that of open-top chambers and branch bag chambers on a per unit volume basis. CO2 consumption by the FACE system was strongly related to windspeed, averaging 50 g CO2 m–3 h–1 for the stand for an average windspeed of 1.5 m s–1 during summer. The [CO2] control results show that the free-air approach is a tractable way to study long-term and short-term alterations in trace gases, even within entire tall forest ecosystems. The FACE approach permits the study of a wide range of forest stand and ecosystem processes under manipulated [CO2]a that were previously impossible or intractable to study in true forest ecosystems.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1999/03// VL - 5 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 331 EP - 346 SN - 13541013 AB - Estimation of leaf photosynthetic rate (A) from leaf nitrogen content (N) is both conceptually and numerically important in models of plant, ecosystem, and biosphere responses to global change. The relationship between A and N has been studied extensively at ambient CO2 but much less at elevated CO2. This study was designed to (i) assess whether the A–N relationship was more similar for species within than between community and vegetation types, and (ii) examine how growth at elevated CO2 affects the A–N relationship. Data were obtained for 39 C3 species grown at ambient CO2 and 10 C3 species grown at ambient and elevated CO2. A regression model was applied to each species as well as to species pooled within different community and vegetation types. Cluster analysis of the regression coefficients indicated that species measured at ambient CO2 did not separate into distinct groups matching community or vegetation type. Instead, most community and vegetation types shared the same general parameter space for regression coefficients. Growth at elevated CO2 increased photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency for pines and deciduous trees. When species were pooled by vegetation type, the A–N relationship for deciduous trees expressed on a leaf-mass basis was not altered by elevated CO2, while the intercept increased for pines. When regression coefficients were averaged to give mean responses for different vegetation types, elevated CO2 increased the intercept and the slope for deciduous trees but increased only the intercept for pines. There were no statistical differences between the pines and deciduous trees for the effect of CO2. Generalizations about the effect of elevated CO2 on the A–N relationship, and differences between pines and deciduous trees will be enhanced as more data become available.

This makes the light-duty vehicle fleet an appealing target for carbon emissions reductions undertaken in pursuit of satisfying the United States' potential obligations under the Kyoto protocol. Furthermore, the current light-duty vehicle fleet is essentially fully dependent on petroleum for its energy supply, so reductions in greenhouse gases will yield similar reductions in U.S. oil use, an attractive proposition to those concerned about U.S. dependence on petroleum imports. Reducing light-duty greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum use can be accomplished by increasing vehicle energy efficiency, shifting travel to more efficient modes, reducing travel overall (by increasing the price of travel, changing development patterns, or other means), changing fuels, and increasing vehicle occupancy. This article focuses on policies and technologies for increasing vehicle energy efficiency, though policies that raise fuel prices will encourage other physical measures, as well.

This methodology was then applied to two aqueous hazardous waste treatment processes: packed tower aeration and activated sludge (aerobic) biological treatment. The designs achieving 95 percent reliability were compared with those designs based on conventional practice to determine their patterns of conservatism. Scoping-level treatment costs were also related to reliability levels for these treatment processes. The results indicate that the reliability levels for the physical/chemical treatment process (packed tower aeration) based on the deterministic safety factors range from 80 percent to over 99 percent, whereas those for the biological treatment process range from near 0 percent to over 99 percent, depending on the compound evaluated. Increases in reliability per unit increase in treatment costs are most pronounced at lower reliability levels (less than about 80 percent) than at the higher reliability levels (greater than 90 percent, indicating a point of diminishing returns. Additional research focused on process parameters that presently contain large uncertainties may reduce those uncertainties, with attending increases in the reliability levels of the treatment processes.

Minimum degree, a popular and effective greedy ordering scheme, minimizes the number of nonzero entries in the rank-1 update (degree) at each step of the factorization. Alternatively, minimum deficiency minimizes the number of nonzero entries introduced (deficiency) at each step of the factorization. In this paper we develop two new heuristics: modified minimum deficiency (MMDF) and modified multiple minimum degree (MMMD). The former uses a metric similar to deficiency while the latter uses a degree-like metric. Our experiments reveal that on the average, MMDF orderings result in 21% fewer operations to factor than minimum degree; MMMD orderings result in 15% fewer operations to factor than minimum degree. MMMD requires on the average 7–13% more time than minimum degree, while MMDF requires on the average 33–34% more time than minimum degree.

The ABLE method is a block version of the non-Hermitian Lanczos algorithm. There are three innovations. First, an adaptive blocksize scheme cures (near) breakdown and adapts the blocksize to the order of multiple or clustered eigenvalues. Second, stopping criteria are developed that exploit the semiquadratic convergence property of the method. Third, a well-known technique from the Hermitian Lanczos algorithm is generalized to monitor the loss of biorthogonality and maintain semibiorthogonality among the computed Lanczos vectors. Each innovation is theoretically justified. Academic model problems and real application problems are solved to demonstrate the numerical behaviors of the method.

It is a bulge-chasing algorithm like the QR algorithm, but, unlike the QR algorithm, it is well adapted to computing the eigenvalues of the narrow-band, nearly tridiagonal matrices generated by the look-ahead Lanczos process. This paper describes the BR algorithm and gives numerical evidence that it works well in conjunction with the Lanczos process. On the biggest problems run so far, the BR algorithm beats the QR algorithm by a factor of 30–60 in computing time and a factor of over 100 in matrix storage space.

The sources of information were unpublished data sets, generated mainly from 1990 through 1994, on emissions from volunteer fleets of in-use vehicles in chassis dynamometer and sealed housing for evaporative determination tests, and published chemical mass balance (CMB) source apportionments of HC in roadway tunnels and in urban air. The nontailpipe emissions evaluated comprise running-loss, hot soak, diurnal emissions, and resting-loss emissions. Relations between pressure and purge test failures and actual nontailpipe emissions were also examined. According to the recruited fleet data, nontailpipe emissions exceed tailpipe HC emissions by a wide margin. This is contradicted by real-world ambient and roadway tunnel CMB results, which attribute 65-93% of motor vehicle non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) to tailpipe emissions, and the balance from the nontailpipe. Running-loss emission rates were critically dependent on driving cycle and conditioning. They decreased steeply with increasing vehicle speed, according to the fleet data. They increased with ambient temperature and fuel Reid vapor pressure (RVP) at rates of ∼7%/°F and 46%/psi. Hot soak, diurnal, and resting-loss emission rates all increased with increasing ambient temperatures, at rates in the range of 2.2-4.6%/°F. Hot soak and diurnal emission rates increased with increasing fuel RVP, at rates between 34 and 47%/psi increase in RVP (at 95 °F ambient temperature). Vehicle-to-vehicle variation in HC emission rates was very large in all nontailpipe (and tailpipe) emissions categories. For each emission category, 10% of the vehicles produced ∼50% of the emissions. The dirtiest 10% of the vehicles in any one category, however, were not usually the same vehicles as the dirtiest 10% of the vehicles in any other category, however, were not usually the same vehicles as the...

Despite its known volatility, persistence, and toxicity in the environment, the fate of this Hg has not been widely studied. Using automated flux chambers and atmospheric sampling, we quantified the primary pathways of Hg vapor releases to the atmosphere at two municipal landfill operations in south Florida for eight days in April 1997. These pathways included landfill gas (LFG) releases from passive and active vent systems, passive emissions from landfill surface covers of different ages (including CH[sub4] "hot spots"), and emissions from daily activities at a working face (WF). Hg vapor was released to the atmosphere at readily detectable rates from all sources measured. Emission rates ranged from ∼1 to 20 ng m[sup-2] hr[sup-1] over aged surface covers (generally comparable to background soils), from ∼6 to 2400 ng/hr from LFG vents and flares, and from ∼5 to 60 mg/hr at the WF. In general the fluxes increased from older to newer landfills, from fresh to aged cover, and from passive to active venting systems. Limited data suggest that methyl- and other organo-mercury compounds may also be emitted from these sites, suggesting an important area for future research. We estimate that atmospheric Hg releases from municipal landfill operations in the state of Florida are on the order of 10 kg/yr, or <1% of the estimated total anthropogenic Hg releases to air in this region.

This suggests a scaling factor of 1.2 that could be appropriate for bird inter-species extrapolations for many chemicals.

The test site will be utilized for research and training with geophysical applications in archaeology. The CATS facility replicates a range of archaeological features commonly encountered in North American archaeological sites and offers a controlled environment for the application of non-destructive investigative techniques. The site provides the opportunity for geophysicists and archaeologists to work with features of known geophysical attributes in a controlled geomorphological setting. In addition to providing a controlled ‘test bed’ for training students in the use of geophysical techniques, the CATS facility will be available for research in a broad range of problems associated with archaeogeophysics, such as the effects of environmental conditions on geophysical expression, sensor type and configuration, data sample density, image processing and pattern recognition, operator variation, and feature variability. This research will contribute to our ability to interpret geophysical data and refine field methods for application in archaeological investigations.

Height and stem diameter growth of white oak decreased with increasing rainfall acidity, although the height response was confined to the high fertility treatment, and root mass was reduced by pH 3.6 rains as well. Height and diameter growth also declined with increasing acidity in loblolly pine, and shoot and root mass and root length and specific length were reduced in low fertility by pH 3.6 rains. Direct foliar injury increased with increasing acidity in loblolly pine, but pH 3.6 rainfall stimulated mycorrhization of this species. Foliar Ca, Mg, and Cu were reduced in both species by pH 3.6 and pH 4.2 rains as was S by the former. Conversely, the Fe concentration was elevated by pH 3.6 and pH 4.2 rainfall in loblolly pine as was Zn by the former. Foliar Al increased with increasing acidity in both white oak and loblolly pine, a response partially attenuated by high soil fertility. Xylem pressure potential of loblolly pine that had received pH 3.6 rainfall declined below that of other treatments during a simulated drought episode.

This first article in a series of three describes the 16-City Study, considers the impact of demographic variables, and concludes that these variables did not explaindifferences in exposure to ETS. We compared 16-City Study concentrations obtained in the workplace to previously reported workplace concentrations and determined that data from this study were representative of current ETS exposure in nonmanufacturing workplaces where smoking occurs. Considering factors other than demographic factors, we found that, not surprisingly, the number of cigarettes observed in the workplace had an impact on exposure concentrations. Finally, we compared people from homes where smoking occurs with people from nonsmoking homes and found that people from smoking homes observed more smoking in the workplace and experienced higher concentrations of ETS-relatedcompounds in the workplace, even when they observed the same number of cigarettes being smoked in the workplace. In two subsequent articles in this series, we discuss relationships between various ETS markers and provide estimates of distributions of doses to nonsmoking workers employed in workplaces where smoking occurs.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1999/06// VL - 19 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 359 EP - 373 SN - 02724332 AB - The 16-City Study analyzed for gas-phase environmental tobacco smoke(ETS) constituents (nicotine, 3-ethenyl pyridine [3-EP], and myosmine) and for particulate-phase constituents (respirable particulate matter [RSP], ultraviolet-absorbing particulate matter [UVPM], fluorescing particulate matter [FPM], scopoletin, and solanesol). In this second of three articles, we discuss the merits of each constituent as a marker for ETS and report pair-wise comparisons of the markers. Neither nicotine nor UVPM were good predictors for RSP. However, nicotine and UVPM were good qualitative predictors of each other. Nicotine wascorrelated with other gas-phase constituents. Comparisons between UVPM and other particulate-phase constituents were performed. Its relation with FPM was excellent, with UVPM approximately 11/2 times FPM. The correlation between UVPM and solanesol was good, but the relationship between the two was not linear. The relation between UVPM and scopoletin was not good, largely because of noise in the scopoletin measures around its limit of detection. We considered the relation between nicotine and saliva cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine. The two were highly correlated on the group level. That is, for each cell (smoking home and work, smoking home but nonsmoking work, and so forth), there was high correlation between average cotinine and 24-hour time-weighted average (TWA) nicotine concentrations. However, on the individual level, the correlations, although significant, were not biologically meaningful. A consideration of cotinine and nicotine or 3-EP on asubset of the study whose only exposure to ETS was exclusively at work or exclusively at home showed that home exposure was a more important source of ETS than work exposure.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1999/06// VL - 19 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 375 EP - 390 SN - 02724332 AB - The ultimate goal of the research reported in this series of three articles is to derive distributions of doses of selected environmentaltobacco smoke (ETS)-related chemicals for nonsmoking workers. This analysis uses data from the 16-City Study collected with personal monitors over the course of one workday in workplaces where smoking occurred. In this article, we describe distributions of ETS chemical concentrations and the characteristics of those distributions (e.g., whether the distribution was log normal for a given constituent) for the workplace exposure. Next, we present population parameters relevant for estimating dose distributions and the methods used for estimating those dose distributions. Finally, we derive distributions of doses ofselected ETS-related constituents obtained in the workplace for people in smoking work environments. Estimating dose distributions provided information beyond the usual point estimate of dose and showed that the preponderance of individuals exposed to ETS in the workplace were exposed at the low end of the dose distribution curve. The resultsof this analysis include estimations of hourly maxima and time-weighted average (TWA) doses of nicotine from workplace exposures to ETS (extrapolated from 1 day to 1 week) and doses derived from modeled lung burdens of ultraviolet-absorbing particulate matter (UVPM) and solanesol resulting from workplace exposures to ETS (extrapolated from 1 day to 1 year).

RLD is a mechanical switch constructed using polycrystalline silicon surface microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Polysilicon surface micromachining is a process for manufacturing MEMS, which is based on the manufacturing methods and tool sets used to fabricate integrated electronic circuits. The RLD produced using New Mexico-based Sandia National Laboratories' unique multilevel mechanical polysilicon surface micromachinig technology. The RLD performs two primary functions: code discrimination and energy switching. The RLD contains six decimal-encoded wheels creating a population of one million different codes. Since it is only stored in the mechanical device, discovery of the code is not possible through software operations. After the RLD verifies proper code entry, it mechanically actuates a switching element. Functionally, the RLD provides a one-part-per-million electromechanical combination lock with the shackle function provided by either an optical or electrical switch KW - INTEGRATED circuits KW - MICROELECTROMECHANICAL systems KW - ELECTRONIC circuits KW - MICROMACHINING KW - POLYCRYSTALS KW - NEW Mexico KW - UNITED States N1 - Accession Number: 12513679; Plummer, David W. 1; Email Address: dwplumm@sandia.gov; Dalton, Larry J. 2; Email Address: ljdalto@sandia.gov; Peter, Frank J. 3; Email Address: fjpeter@sandia.gov; Affiliations: 1: Manager of the Electromechanical Engineering Department at Sandia Naional Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M..; 2: Manager of Sandia National Laboratories'High Integrity Software Systems Engineering Department and High Integrity Systems Programs in Albuquerque, N.

JO - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Air & Waste Management Association) JF - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Air & Waste Management Association) Y1 - 1999/07// VL - 49 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 756 EP - 772 SN - 10962247 AB - In this study, we examined the role of corn-feedstock ethanol in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, given present and near-future technology and practice for corn farming and ethanol production. We analyzed the full-fuel-cycle GHG effects of corn-based ethanol using updated information on corn operations in the upper Midwest and existing ethanol production technologies. Information was obtained from representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, faculty of midwestern universities with expertise in corn production and animal feed, and acknowledged authorities in the field of ethanol plant engineering, design, and operations. Cases examined included use of E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline by volume) and E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline). Among key findings is that Midwest-produced ethanol outperforms conventional (current) and reformulated (future) gasoline with respect to energy use and GHG emissions (on a mass emission per travel mile basis). The superiority of the energy and GHG results is well outside the range of model "noise." An important facet of this work has been conducting sensitivity analyses. These analyses let us rank the factors in the corn-to-ethanol cycle that are most important for limiting GHG generation. These rankings could help ensure that efforts to reduce that generation are targeted more effectively.

More than 100 hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons were tentatively identified and quantified. Gasoline-vapor and whole-gasoline profiles could be distinguished from the other profiles by high concentrations of the C[sub5] and C[sub6] saturated hydrocarbons. The vehicle emission profile was similar to the whole-gasoline profile, with the exception of the unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, which were present at higher concentrations in the vehicle emission profile. High levels of the C[sub2]-C[sub4] saturated hydrocarbons, particularly n-butane, were characteristic features of the petroleum refinery emissions. The smelter and cast iron factory emissions were similar to the refinery emissions; however, the levels of benzene and toluene were greater in the former two sources. The LPG and natural gas emissions contained high concentrations of n-butane and ethane, respectively. The NMOC source profiles for Cairo were distinctly different from profiles for U.S. sources, indicating that NMOC source profiles are sensitive to the particular composition of petroleum fuels that are used in a location.

It requires attention to environmental issues such as reducing pollution, limiting resource use, and protecting biodiversity. It requires concern for future generations and is the responsibility of every person on earth. Its requirements for multi-dimensional cooperation, shared values and goals, participation and empowerment, and learning, represent a greater challenge for communitarianism than most other social issues. To span geography, political systems, cultures, and many generations of time, it is argued that supra-communitarianism is needed.

Deserts are predicted to be extremely responsive to global change because they are stressful environments where small absolute changes in water availability or use represent large proportional changes. Water and carbon dioxide fluxes are inherently coupled in plant growth. No documented global change has been more substantial or more rapid than the increase in atmospheric CO2. Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) technology permits manipulation of CO2 in intact communities without altering factors such as light intensity or quality, humidity or wind. The Nevada Desert FACE Facility (NDFF) consists of three 491 m2 plots in the Mojave Desert receiving 550 μL L–1 CO2, and six ambient plots to assess both CO2 and fan effects. The shrub community was characterized as a Larrea–Ambrosia–Lycium species complex. Data are reported through 12 months of operation.

They argue that the imposition of environmental tax in an economy already distorted by income taxes will further distort the economy by reducing incentives to supply labor. Our paper argues that this is not likely to be the case because of the restrictive assumptions made by these models, and because of the role of the environment as a factor of production.

We characterize the loss of potential productive output due to environmental constraints, decomposing losses into those resulting from the commitment of capital to pollution abatement and those losses that arise from other sources. We also assess the potential for improvements that increase productivity and reduce pollution. Results from the paper industry show a "win-win" potential for inputs and pollution to be simultaneously reduced by 2% to 8%, without reducing productivity. We also find that environmental constraints reduce production by 9%, a quarter of which results from pollution abatement capital constraints.

Samples of muscle and bone (and viscera in some cases) were analyzed for 3H, 90Sr, 137Cs, totU, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, and 241Am and Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Tl. Most radionuclides, with the exception of 90Sr, in the muscle plus bone portions of fish collected from LANL canyons/RG were not significantly (p<0.05) higher from fish collected upstream (San Ildefonso/background) of LANL. Strontium‐90 in fish muscle plus bone tissue significantly (p<0.05) increases in concentration starting from Los Alamos Canyon, the most upstream confluence (fish contained 3.4E‐02 pCi g‐1 [126E‐02 Bq kg‐1]), to Frijoles Canyon, the most downstream confluence (fish contained 14E‐02 pCi g‐1 [518E‐02 Bq kg‐1]). The differences in 90Sr concentrations in fish collected downstream and upstream (background) of LANL, however, were very small. Based on the average concentrations (±2SD) of radionuclides in fish tissue from the four LANL confluences, the committed effective dose equivalent from the ingestion of 46 lb (21 kg) (maximum ingestion rate per person per year) of fish muscle plus bone, after the subtraction of background, was 0.1 ± 0.1 mrem y‐1 (1.0 ± 1.0 μSv y‐1), and was far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem y‐1 (1000 μSv y‐1). Of the trace elements that were found above the limits of detection (Ba, Cu, and Hg) in fish muscle collected from the confluences of canyons that cross LANL and the RG, none were in significantly higher (p<0.05) concentrations than in muscle of fish collected from background locations.

JO - Journal of Environmental Science & Health, Part B -- Pesticides, Food Contaminants, & Agricultural Wastes JF - Journal of Environmental Science & Health, Part B -- Pesticides, Food Contaminants, & Agricultural Wastes Y1 - 1999/09// VL - 34 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 901 EP - 915 SN - 03601234 AB - This paper summarizes radionuclide concentrations (3H, 90Sr, 137Cs, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, 241Am, and totU) in muscle and bone tissue of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) collected from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico, lands from 1991 through 1998. Also, the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) and the risk of excess cancer fatalities (RECF) to people who ingest muscle and bone from deer and elk collected from LANL lands were estimated. Most radionuclide concentrations in muscle and bone from individual deer (n = 11) and elk (n = 22) collected from LANL lands were either at less than detectable quantities (where the analytical result was smaller than two counting uncertainties) and/or within upper (95%) level background (BG) concentrations. As a group, most radionuclides in muscle and bone of deer and elk from LANL lands were not significantly higher (p<0.10) than in similar tissues from deer (n = 3) and elk (n = 7) collected from BG locations. Also, elk that had been radio collared and tracked for two years and spent an average time of 50% on LANL lands were not significantly different in most radionuclides from road kill elk that have been collected as part of the environmental surveillance program. Overall, the upper (95%) level net CEDEs (the CEDE plus two sigma for each radioisotope minus background) at the most conservative ingestion rate (50 lbs of muscle and 13 lbs of bone) were as follows: deer muscle = 0.22 mrem y‐1 (2.2 μSv y‐1), deer bone = 3.8 mrem y‐1 (38 μSv y‐1), elk muscle = 0.12 mrem y‐1 (1.2 μSv y‐1), and elk bone = 1.7 mrem y‐1 (17 μSv y‐1). All CEDEs were far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection guideline of 100 mrem y‐1 (1000 μSv y‐1), and the highest muscle plus bone net CEDE corresponded to a RECF of 2E‐06, which is far below the Environmental Protection Agency upper level guideline of 1E‐04.

Because sampling these tanks is difficult and expensive, samples have been collected from a single location of the headspaces, based on the supposition that this would provide representative samples. In most tanks, mixing of vapors occurs because of thermally driven convection from heat generated by radioactive decay of the waste. However, in some low-temperature tanks, the ground temperature above the tank may be warmer than the waste, minimizing thermally induced convection, and raising the concern that samples from a single location may not be representative. To resolve this issue, six samples at different vertical and horizontal locations were taken from each of three low-temperature tanks and analyzed for ammonia, water, permanent gases, total non-methane organic compound concentration, and selected organic vapors. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that the tanks did not exhibit significant horizontal or vertical concentration gradients.

The apparatus is analogous to the Reid vapor pressure apparatus that is used for vapor pressure measurement of light hydrocarbons. This system overcomes many of the shortcomings experienced when the Reid method is applied to heavy crudes. We explain the operation of the system and present results from measurement of heavy crudes from Southern California. Measurements on oil samples collected from storage tanks agreed well with analysis of headspace gases in the tanks.

We study National Hockey League players, professional golfers, and Major League Baseball players from the perspectives of home run hitting and hitting for average. Within each sport, the careers of the players overlap to some extent. This network of overlaps, or bridges, is used to compare players whose careers took place in different eras. The goal is not to judge players relative to their contemporaries, but rather to compare all players directly. Hence the model that we use is a statistical time machine. We use additive models to estimate the innate ability of players, the effects of aging on performance, and the relative difficulty of each year within a sport. We measure each of these effects separated from the others. We use hierarchical models to model the distribution of players and specify separate distributions for each decade, thus allowing the "talent pool" within each sport to change. We study the changing talent pool in each sport and address Gould's conjecture about the way in which populations change. Nonparametric aging functions allow us to estimate the league-wide average aging function. Hierarchical random curves allow for individuals to age differently from the average of athletes in that sport. We characterize players by their career profile rather than a one-number summary of their career.

Vehicles were tested as received on chassis dynamometers on the Federal Test Procedure Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and the IM240 driving schedule. Both PM[sub10] and regulated emissions were measured for each phase of the UDDS. For the summer portion of the study, 92 gasoline vehicles, 10 diesel vehicles, and 9 gasoline vehicles with visible smoke emissions were tested once. For the winter, 56 gasoline vehicles, 12 diesel vehicles, and 15 gasoline vehicles with visible smoke were tested twice, once indoors at 60 Fahrenheit and once outdoors at the prevailing temperature. Vehicle model year ranged from 1966 to 1996. Impactor particle size distributions were obtained on a subset of vehicles. Continuous estimates of the particle number emissions were obtained with an electrical aerosol analyzer. This data set is being provided to the Northern Front Range Air Quality Study program and to the State of Colorado and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in updating emissions inventories.

With positron emission tomography (PET), a non-invasive imaging technology that allows measurement of the concentration of positron-labeled compounds that are of physiological and pharmacological relevance, it has become possible to investigate the effects of nicotine in the human brain. These imaging studies have shown that nicotine has very fast pharmacokinetics in the human brain, that it changes cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain metabolism, and that at least some of these effects show acute tolerance. PET studies have also shown that, in addition to nicotine, cigarettes possess other pharmacological actions that may contribute to their reinforcing effects, that cigarettes inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B in the brain, and that this inhibition recovers with cigarette discontinuation. Although the nicotine receptors have not yet been imaged in the living human brain, PET studies in the primate brain have shown very high concentration of receptors in the thalamus and a high rate of blockade by doses of nicotine that approximate plasma levels achieved by humans when smoking cigarettes. However, further studies are required to determine the levels of nicotine receptor occupancies achieved when smoking a cigarette and those required for the nicotine patch to be therapeutically effective, to measure the half-life for MAO inhibition by cigarettes and the mechanisms underlying this inhibition, and to evaluate the effects of smoking on nicotine receptors and on other neurotransmitter systems in the human brain.

Average 24-hr PM[sub10] concentrations over the period of study at the core sites in the city were 75 µg/m³. The 24-hr standard of 150 µg/m³ was exceeded for seven samples taken during the study period; the maximum 24-hr concentration measured was 542 µg/m³. Nearly half of the PM[sub10] was composed of fugitive dust from roadways, construction, and bare land. About 50% of the PM[sub10] consisted of PM[sub2.5], with higher percentages during the morning hours. Organic and black carbon constituted up to half of the PM[sub2.5]. PM concentrations were highest during the early morning and after sunset, when the mixed layers were shallow. Meteorological measurements taken during the field campaign show that on most days air was transported out of the Mexico City basin during the afternoon with little day-to-day carryover.

We present evidence from the Rancho Seco, California, plant on residential property values using an hedonic modeling framework. We include a large number of control variables, data with a high level of spatial detail and a number of public information variables in order to model property market effects within a fifteen mile radius of the plant. Our findings indicate that proximity and visual reminders of the plant have some influence on local property markets, and that there is a small media coverage effect on single-family home sale prices.

Performance assessment (PA) for radioactive waste involves many scientific disciplines. Yet, at its core, PA attempts to answer three questions about potential disposal sites: (1) What could occur at the site in the future?, (2) How likely are different occurrences at the site?, and (3) What are the consequences of different occurrences at the site? Thus, PA for radioactive waste disposal can appropriately be viewed as part of the field of risk assessment. The intent of the issue is to give readers a broad perspective on major issues related to PA for radioactive waste disposal and guidance to sources of additional information. To meet this intent, the contributors to the issue were asked to write for a broad audience and to be generous in providing references to help the reader find his or her way into the literature. Performance assessment for radioactive waste disposal is almost always carried out in the context of some regulatory environment. This environment invariably has great influence on any associated PA.

This perspective reviews the common history of scientific concepts for risk assessment developed until the 1950s. Computational tools and techniques developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s to analyze the reliability of nuclear weapon delivery systems were adopted in the early 1970s for probabilistic risk assessment of nuclear power reactors, a technology for which behavior was unknown. In turn, these analyses became an important foundation for performance assessment of nuclear waste disposal in the late 1970s. The evaluation of risk to human health and the environment from chemical hazards is built on methods forassessing the dose response of radionuclides in the 1950s. Despite ashared background, however, societal events, often in the form of legislation, have affected the development path for risk assessment forhuman health, producing dissimilarities between these risk assessments and those for nuclear facilities. An important difference is the regulator's interest in accounting for uncertainty.

As leaf processes are recursively spawned they can be assigned to independent processors in a multicomputer network. However, to achieve good performance the on-line mapping algorithm must maintain load balance, i.e., distribute processes equitably among processors. Additionally, the algorithm itself must be distributed in nature, and process allocation must be completed via message-passing with minimal communication overhead. This paper investigates bounds on the performance of deterministic and randomized algorithms for on-line tree embeddings. In particular, we study trade-offs between computation overhead (load imbalance) and communication overhead (message congestion). We give a simple technique to derive lower bounds on the congestion that any on-line allocation algorithm must incur in order to guarantee load balance. This technique works for both randomized and deterministic algorithms. We prove that the advantage of randomization is limited. Optimal bounds are achieved for several networks, including multidimensional grids and butterflies.

For example, the extinction of a species is physically irreversible. On the other hand, contamination of lake-bottom sediments by mercury is not physically irreversible (the mercury and/or sediments can be physically removed), but the cost is so high that it can be said to be economically irreversible. This paper argues that economic irreversibility associated with environmental change is much more common than typically discussed in the economics literature. The source of the problem is the inherent complexity of ecological relationships. The paper discusses the origin and policy importance of these indirect irreversibilities.

The objective of the test was to determine the effectiveness of an ambient-temperature, solar-powered photocatalytic oxidation treatment unit for destroying emissions of chlorinated organic compounds from an air stripper. This paper reports test results and discusses applications and limitations of the technology. A 10-standard-cubic-foot-per-minute (SCFM) (28.3 L/min) slip stream of air from an air stripper at Operative Unit 29-31 at McClellan AFB was passed through a reactor that contained a lightweight, perforated, inert support coated with photoactive titanium dioxide. The reactor faced south and was tilted at a 45° angle from vertical so that the light-activated catalyst received most of the available sunlight. An online portable gas chromatograph with two identical columns simultaneously analyzed the volatile organic compounds contained in the reactor inlet and outlet air streams. Summa canister grab samples of the inlet and outlet were also collected and sent to a certified laboratory for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method TO-14 analysis and verification of our field analyses. Three weeks of testing demonstrated that the treatment system's destruction and removal efficiencies (DREs) are greater than 95% at 10 SCFM with UV intensities at or greater than 1.5 milliwatts/square centimeter (mW/cm²). DREs greater than 95% at 20 SCFM were obtained under conditions where UV irradiation measured at or greater than 2 mW/cm². In Sacramento, this provided 6 hours of operation per clear or nearly clear day in April. A solar tracking system could extend operating time. The air stream also contained trace amounts of benzene. We observed no loss of system performance during testing.

JO - Molecular Ecology JF - Molecular Ecology Y1 - 1999/11// VL - 8 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1769 EP - 1780 SN - 09621083 AB - AbstractA rare episode of regeneration of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) by seeds occurred in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), Wyoming, USA, following extensive fires that occurred in 1988. In 1997, we sampled 410 aspen seedlings from 23 local populations distributed widely across YNP to determine how genetic diversity varies with elevation, substrate, plant competition, ungulate browsing, and geographical location. We employed 132 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers based on six primers to show genetic relationships within and among the postfire aspen seedling populations. Measures of genetic variation, including estimates of percentage polymorphic loci, expected heterozygosity, and Nei’s FST, indicated that most of the variation occurred within rather than among local populations. There was no indication of geographical differentiation among sampled populations based on hierarchal estimates of Nei’s FST, neighbour-joining, or correlations between genetic distance and geographical distance. Even genetically distant populations shared nearly 90% of the same markers. Within plots, the amount of genetic variation decreased slightly in response to increased percentage vegetative cover, mean seedling basal diameter, and mean seedling height. Geological substrate, density of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) seedlings, browsing intensity, and elevation were not significantly related to levels of genetic variation within the seedling plots. These data suggest that genetic variation and geographical structure among seedling populations may occur over time as the transition from seedling-dominated stands to clone-dominated stands occurs.

This underpins a nonabstract algorithm set in matrix algebra for obtaining the Sylow p-decomposition of a lattice rule. This approach is particularly useful when it is not known whether the form in which the lattice rule is specified is canonical or even repetitive. A new set of necessary and sufficient conditions for recognizing a canonical form is given.

Because monitoring data at release locations are typically sparse, spatial variations in geochemical indicator parameters are often called upon as indirect evidence of biotransformation. These parameters include concentrations of electron acceptors (O2, NO3-, SO>, reduced redox reaction by-products (Fe2+, Mn2+, CH4), as well as bicarbonate alkalinity, pH and Eh. However, background variability in a number of these parameters complicates the task of data interpretation, particularly in the case of small data sets. In this study, correlation analyses are applied to geochemical indicator data at six hydrocarbon groundwater contamination sites in California to identify which parameters are the most reliable indicators. The results of the analyses suggest that the most direct indicators of the local redox environment – Fe2+, Mn2+, CH4, Eh – yield the most consistent evidence of hydrocarbon biotransformation. Indicators which rely largely on mass balance – O2, NO, SO, alkalinity – appear to be less reliable. These findings may provide guidance in both the collection and interpretation of groundwater monitoring data at hydrocarbon contamination sites.

For this reason we have synthesized the elastase recognition sequence Val‐Pro‐Val on both cotton cellulose, and carboxymethylated cellulose cotton (CMC) and prepared chromatography columns of these to examine elastase retention. The tripeptide was synthesized on cotton‐based cellulose fibers both in sequence and as a tripeptide methyl ester. Glycine was employed as a linker of the recognition sequence to the cotton cellulose. Pre‐treatment of cotton cellulose with cellulase improved the substitution level of glycine. The peptidocellulose conjugates were employed as a chromatographic stationary phase to assess elastase retention. The sequence Val‐Pro‐Val‐OMe was amino‐terminally anchored to carboxymethylated cotton and demonstrated retention of up to 58% of elastase when first applied to the column. Higher repetitive retention was demonstrated subsequently. Cotton gauze similarly modified with Val‐Pro‐Val‐Gly cellulose was compared with untreated gauze for reduction of elastase activity in buffered saline. Solutions of elastase that were treated with Val‐Pro‐Val‐Gly cellulose cotton gauze, demonstrated reduced elastase activity. This study demonstrates the use of elastase recognition sequences as sequestering agents of elastase when attached to cotton fibers and constitutes a model for the design of peptidocellulose analogs in dressing fibers for chronic wounds.

This paper provides a simple model for estimating the mean and variance of time lost due to incidents on freeways. It also reviews methods for assigning a monetary value to the variability that such incidents introduce into daily travel. The paper offers an easy-to-implement approach to measuring the performance of freeway incident reduction strategies, an approach that should be useful in early project selection exercises where a sketch planning process is used to identify promising actions.

Diesel exhaust and fugitive dust emissions from vehicles transporting hazardous shipments lead to increased air pollution, which increases the risk of latent fatalities in the affected population along the transport route. The estimated risk from these vehicle-related sources can often be as large or larger than the estimated risk associated with the material being transported. In this paper, data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Motor Vehicle-Related Air Toxics Study are first used to develop latent cancer fatality estimates per kilometer of travel in rural and urban areas for all diesel truck classes. These unit risk factors are based on studies investigating the carcinogenic nature of diesel exhaust. With the same methodology, the current per-kilometer latent fatality risk factor used in transportation risk assessments for heavy diesel trucks in urban areas is revised and the analysis expanded to provide risk factors for rural areas and all diesel truck classes. These latter fatality estimates may include, but are not limited to, cancer fatalities and are based primarily on the most recent epidemiological data available on mortality rates associated with ambient air PM-10 concentrations.

This paper evaluates the variance in potential dose calculations that can be attributed to the uncetainty in chemical-specific input parameters as well as the variability in exposure factors and landscape parameters. A knowledge of the uncertainty allows us to assess the robustness of a decision based on the toxicity potential; a knowledge of the sources of uncertainty allows us to focus our resources if we want to reduce the uncertainty. The potential dose of 236 chemicals was assessed. The chemicals were grouped by dominant exposure route, and a Monte Carlo analysis was conducted for one representative chemical in each group. The variance is typically one to two orders of magnitude. For comparison, the point estimates in potential dose for 236 chemicals span ten orders of magnitude. Most of the variance in the potential dose is due to chemical-specific input parameters, especially half-lives, although exposure factors such as fish intake and the source of drinking water can be important for chemicals whose dominant exposure is through indirect routes. Landscape characteristics are generally of minor importance.

In the U.S. and around the globe, nuclear safety and efficiency have improved significantly since 1990. In 1998, unit capacity factor for operating reactors reached record levels. The average U.S. capacity factor in 1998 was 80 percent for about 100 reactors, compared to 58 percent in 1980 and 66 percent in 1990. Despite a reduction in the number of power plants, the U.S. nuclear industry generated nine percent more nuclear electricity in 1999 than in 1998. Average production costs for nuclear energy are now just 1.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kwh), while electricity produced from gas costs 3.4 cents per kwh. Because major, complex technologies take more than half a century to spread around the world, natural gas will share the lead in power generation with nuclear power over the next hundred years. The great advantage of nuclear power is its ability to wrest enormous energy from a small volume of fuel. Nuclear fission, transforming matter directly into energy, is several million times as energetic as chemical burning, which merely breaks chemical bonds.

They ceased production of new weapons and focused on dismantling old weapons and maintaining the safety, security, and reliability of those remaining. The Pantex Plant, operated for the US Department of Energy (DOE) by the Mason and Hanger Corporation, is the sole assembly and disassembly facility for dismantlement, evaluation, and maintenance activities for the US nuclear stockpile. We developed a decision support tool, the Pantex Process Model (PPM), to help Pantex plan capacity and deploy resources to meet its new requirements. Using the PPM, Pantex has provided critical input to help the US form and defend positions during arms-control-treaty negotiations. It has changed the way Pantex and the DOE evaluate resource requirements in planning future workloads. It has also led to an innovative cooperative agreement among Pantex, the Transportation Safeguards Division of DOE, and the Department of Defense (DOD) that resulted in Pantex exceeding weapon- dismantlement goals.

We hypothesized that by adding information on PM chemical speciation and source apportionment to typical PM epidemiological analysis, we could identify PM sources that cause adverse health effects. The FA/PR method was applied to a merged data set of mortality and extensive PM chemical speciation (including trace metals, sulfate, and extractable organic matter) in New Jersey. Statistically significant associations were found between mortality and several of the FA-derived PM sources, including oil burning, industry, sulfate aerosol, and motor vehicles. The FA/PR method provides new insight into potentially important PM sources related to mortality. For the data set we analyzed, the use of FA/PR to integrate multiple chemical species into source-related PM exposure metrics was found to be a more sensitive tool than the traditional approach using PM mass alone.

In the late 1970s and 1980s, numerous studies were performed in which depressed patients were treated with the serotonin precursors L-tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), and the dopamine and norepinephrine precursors tyrosine and L-phenylalanine. This article briefly reviews the published research on the efficacy of neurotransmitter precursors in treating depression, highlights the findings of studies, and discusses issues regarding the interpretation of those findings. The nature of the studies makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions regarding the efficacy of neurotransmitter precursors for treating depression. While there is evidence that precursor loading may be of therapeutic value, particularly for the serotonin precursors 5-HTP and tryptophan, more studies of suitable design and size might lead to more conclusive results. However, the evidence suggests neurotransmitter precursors can be helpful in patients with mild or moderate depression.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2000/02// VL - 19 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 352 EP - 359 SN - 07307268 AB - Passive monitoring of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) using semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD) was employed to evaluate the contribution of point and nonpoint sources to the flux of PCB in a drainage system encompassing three U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) industrial and research facilities in eastern Tennessee, USA. Polychlorinated biphenyls concentrations were highest at outfalls containing process waste from the DOE industrial facilities. The significance of these releases was evaluated by calculating the PCB flux (mass per unit time) at different monitoring locations. The flux was calculated from the timeintegrated estimates of the aqueous concentrations of PCB and estimates of the volumetric flow rates of discharges and receiving streams during the deployment period. The DOE discharges accounted for most of the flux of PCB entering the Clinch River from the DOE drainage areas, but these sources constituted only 10% of the flux in the Clinch River about the DOE sources. Principal components analysis was helpful in attributing sources of PCB. In a stream receiving multiple inputs of PCB, congener profiles from upstream sources and discrete discharges were consistent with a mixture of those congener profiles in the downstream receiving water. In another stream with a single upstream source of PCB, changes in PCB flux and congener profiles suggested an apparent steady-state distribution between dissolved PCB and PCB adsorbed to organic matter on the streambed. The flux of dissolved PCB along different stream reaches reflected changes in the sediment organic content. Subtle alterations in congener profiles moving downstream suggested preferential desorption of less chlorinated congeners and sorption of more highly chlorinated congeners to sediment. Time-integrated, flux-based monitoring can be useful across a range of spatial scales for evaluating the significance of point and nonpoint contaminant sources and can help identify and prioritize feasible...

How a plant responds to these issues has significant implications for the cost and quality of plant operations. Thus paper uses three case studies of US assembly plants to examine the role of partnerships between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers in improving the environmental performance of manufacturing operations. We find that strong partnerships with suppliers, supported by appropriate incentive systems, were a significant element of the successful application of innovative environmental technologies. Supplier staff members were an important part of achieving environmental performance improvements while maintaining production quality and cost goals. The management factors influencing the extent and nature of supplier involvement are identified. The results of this work point to the importance of suppliers in addressing the manufacturing challenges of the future.

Our mesh generation algorithm, called QMG, is a quadtree-based algorithm that can triangulate any polyhedral region including non-convex regions with holes. Furthermore, our algorithm guarantees a bounded aspect ratio triangulation provided that the input domain itself has no sharp angles. Finally, our algorithm is guaranteed never to over-refine the domain, in the sense that the number of simplices produced by QMG is bounded above by a factor times the number produced by any competing algorithm, where the factor depends on the aspect ratio bound satisfied by the competing algorithm. The QMG algorithm has been implemented in C++ and is used as a mesh generator for the finite element method.

This accumulation process essentially reverses some of the effects responsible for soil organic carbon losses from when the land was converted from perennial vegetation. We discuss the essential elements of what is known about soil organic matter dynamics that may result in enhanced soil carbon sequestration with changes in land-use and soil management. We review literature that reports changes in soil organic carbon after changes in land-use that favour carbon accumulation. This data summary provides a guide to approximate rates of SOC sequestration that are possible with management, and indicates the relative importance of some factors that influence the rates of organic carbon sequestration in soil. There is a large variation in the length of time for and the rate at which carbon may accumulate in soil, related to the productivity of the recovering vegetation, physical and biological conditions in the soil, and the past history of soil organic carbon inputs and physical disturbance. Maximum rates of C accumulation during the early aggrading stage of perennial vegetation growth, while substantial, are usually much less than 100 g C m-2 y-1. Average rates of accumulation are similar for forest or grassland establishment: 33.8 g C m-2 y-1 and 33.2 g C m-2 y-1, respectively. These observed rates of soil organic C accumulation, when combined with the small amount of land area involved, are insufficient to account for a significant fraction of the missing C in the global carbon cycle as accumulating in the soils of formerly agricultural land.

Population structure and genetic variability may represent important factors in a species' ability to adapt to global-scale environmental change without experiencing major alterations in current range limits. Genetic variation and structure in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) were examined across three regions, between two stands within regions, and among four to five open-pollinated families within stands (total N = 547 genotypes) using 58 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Differences within open-pollinated families account for the largest portion of the total variation (29%), while differences among regions represent less than 2% of the total variation. Genetic diversity, as indicated by estimates of percent polymorphic loci, expected heterozygosity, fixation coefficients, and genetic distance, is greatest in the southern region, which consists of populations with the maximum potential risk due to climate change effects. The high level of genetic similarity (greater than 90%) among some genotypes suggests that gene flow is occurring among regions, stands, and families. High levels of genetic variation among families indicate that vegetational models designed to predict species' response to global-scale environmental change may need to consider the degree and hierarchical structure of genetic variation when making large-scale inferences.

The ZPL programming language achieves both goals by building upon an abstract parallel machine and by providing programming constructs that allow the programmer to "see" this underlying machine. This paper describes ZPL and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the language with respect to its goals of performance portability, and programming convenience. In particular we describe ZPL's machine-independent performance model, describe the programming benefits of ZPL's region-based constructs, summarize the compilation benefits of the language's high-level semantics, and summarize empirical evidence that ZPL has achieved both high performance and portability on diverse machines such as the IBM SP-2, Cray T3E, and SGI Power Challenge.

One methyltransferase acts on double-stranded and the other on single-stranded DNA. Two mRNAs are transcribed from the cassette. One, a SigA promoter transcript, includes all three genes; the other includes a truncated form of the second methyltransferase gene (dpnA) and the endonuclease gene. The truncated dpnA, which is translated from the second start codon in the full gene, was shown to produce active enzyme. A promoter reporter plasmid for S. pneumoniae was devised to characterize the promoter for the second mRNA. This transcript was found to depend on a promoter that responded to the induction of competence for genetic transformation. The promoter contains the combox sequence recognized by a SigH-containing RNA polymerase. As part of the competence regulon, the dpnA gene makes a product able to methylate incoming plasmid strands to protect them from the endonuclease and allow plasmid establishment. Its function differs from most genes in the regulon, which are involved in DNA uptake. Comparison of R6 and Rx strains of S. pneumoniae showed the temperature dependence of transformation in R6 to result from temperature sensitivity of the uptake apparatus and not the development of competence.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulates the management and cleanup of hazardous materials at active hazardous waste facilities. Based on the definitions found in these acts, and corresponding promulgated regulations, environmental media contaminated with chemical warfare materiel (CWM) can be regulated as CERCLA “pollutants or contaminants” but do not appear to be regulated either as CERCLA hazardous substances or RCRA hazardous wastes. In those states that have not included CWM as hazardous materials in their RCRA programs, the RCRA requirements for management of hazardous waste would not strictly apply to any of the CWM. The Army has historically implemented procedures requiring that chemical warfare agents be managed as RCRA hazardous waste regardless of the concentration, physical form, or configuration of the agent. Such application of strict hazardous waste requirements to management of potentially nonhazardous CWM can result in remedial costs well out of proportion to potential human health and environmental benefits. Recent development of chronic toxicity values for the CWM has opened the door for development of cleanup and waste management standards for waste streams or media containing small residual amounts of CWM. Implementation of this health-based approach to management of CWM remediation wastes may, in part, help to reduce potentially unnecessary hazardous waste management costs for the nonhazardous CWM.

Of special interest are the effect of speed limit changes on controlled-access expressways (chiefly the Interstate Highway System) and the possible effect of season-to-season climatic variation on road transport. We found that improvements in railroad technology and infrastructure have created a safer overall operating environment for railroad freight shipments. We also found recent evidence of an increase in accident rates of heavy combination trucks in states that have raised highway speed limits. Finally, cold weather increases road transport risk, while conditions associated with higher ambient temperatures do not. This last finding is in contrast to rail transport, for which the literature associates both hot and cold temperature extremes with higher accident rates.

The fundamental data are acquired from medical imaging. Image interpretation involves (1) collecting data to determine the source-organ activities, (2) plotting the source-organ time-activity curves, (3) integrating the time-activity curves for an estimate of the residence time, and (4) applying the residence time values (for each important source organ) within the MIRD schema to calculate the tissue absorbed dose to target organs and tumors of interest. This article reviews methods for calculating internal dose. It also describes methods for selecting sampling times, integrating the area under the data curves, and customizing a dose assessment for a patient who does not resemble the MIRD phantom. A sample dose assessment is given, together with common mistakes to avoid. Three approaches to red marrow dosimetry are described. With the increased use of RIT agents for cancer treatment, a solid understanding of internal dose methods is essential for treatment planning and follow-up evaluations. Copyright © 2000 by W.B.

Part of the challenge is developing a national energy strategy that promotes an adequate energy supply for the United States, while enhancing environmental quality and maintaining U.S. competitiveness in the world economy. To assist in this challenge, we have developed a screening technique to analyze the effectiveness of different proposed emissions reduction strategies. The technique, referred to as the visibility assessment screening technique (VAST), is designed to examine possible impacts on visibility of emission changes of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (i.e., SO[sub2], NO[subx], and VOC) and fine and coarse particulate matter (PM). The influence of relative humidity, natural aerosols, and the chemical interconnections among sulfur and nitrogen components of aerosols in determining the effectiveness of Clean Air Act Amendment and other projected energy-related emissions changes on eastern and western visibility are explored. The effectiveness of these strategies on particulate matter impacts and potentially on ozone is also noted.

Glutathione depletion by the reagent 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene induced a structural alteration of intracellular hemoglobin by tBH, which was inferred from an increase in hydrophobicity of erythrocyte proteins. Protein hydrophobicity was analyzed with a new ESR assay comprising detection of an increased binding of both anionic and cationic amphiphilic paramagnetic probes in membrane-depleted hemolysates. An increased affinity of oxidant-damaged proteins for amphiphilic probes was also observed in myoglobin and in protein fractions of erythrocytes treated with tBH subsequent to hemolysis. Smoke exposure enhanced the formation of reactive free radicals from tBH by chelated iron and ascorbate. Reactive radical formation, as monitored by spin-trapping methods, was substantially prolonged in erythrocyte suspensions that had been exposed to cigarette smoke. The results of this study suggest that the susceptibility of cells to peroxide-mediated damage, including damage associated with iron-mediated free radical production, is increased after exposure to high concentrations of cigarette smoke.

One design (referred to as tray design) was a modified plastic tray about one-fourth full of small gravels and covered with 1 mm fiberglass mesh. The second design (referred to as tube-plates) consisted of short plexiglass tubes about one-third full of small gravels and attached horizontally to a plexiglass plate. One end of each tube faced into the current; both ends were covered with mesh. Cages containing clams were deployed at reference and impacted (test) sites for periods of 70 to 135 d. Growth and survival were the primary endpoints evaluated, but the tube-plates allowed isolation of individual clams so that natality also could be evaluated as an endpoint. Results of benthic macroinvertebrate surveys, performed for another study, were included to help validate bioassay results. Both cage designs yielded good quantitative, site-specific results for clam survival and growth; results for natality, though, were less conclusive. Clam survival and growth results were in good general agreement with the results for the benthic macroinvertebrate community surveys. At a site where the macroinvertebrate community was the most depauperate, clam mortality was always rapid. At a site where the condition of the macroinvertebrate community was only slightly less impacted than the most impacted site, clam growth was almost always significantly lower than at reference sites. Survival of clams was significantly reduced in <25 d at this site in some trials, but in other trials there was little mortality. At a minimally impacted site, clam survival was similar to that found at reference sites, and differences in clam growth were not detectable until after 40 to 50 d of exposure. The tube-plate design was easier to use, allowed more flexibility in selection of response parameters, and required less handling time of test animals, thus, this was the preferred design. Our results demonstrated that either in situ bioassay design can be used to augment monitoring and assessment programs. Their use as a predictor of ecological recovery, however, requires further evaluation.

Managing the metadata associated with electronic journals (URLs, passwords, holdings, etc.) can quickly become an overwhelming task. The Research Library stores all the electronic journal metadata in the online catalog, and the data is then exported to build the electronic journal Webpages. Having one place to store all this information has facilitated the growth of the electronic journal collection, and has also increased access points to electronic journals for library patrons. Outlines the steps involved in implementing this database-driven model, describes the lessons learned, and discusses the ever-increasing benefits of this model.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to test whether genetic predisposition to subclass pattern B contributes to susceptibility to induction of this trait by a low-fat diet. DESIGN: The prevalence of pattern B in children is relatively low compared with that in older individuals, but genetic susceptibility to this trait in offspring can be inferred by its presence in their parents. Plasma lipoproteins were analyzed 10 d after a change from a usual diet to a very-low-fat (10% fat), high-carbohydrate diet in offspring (mean age: 14 y; range: 7-28 y) of 22 families according to parental LDL-subclass patterns when consuming a low-fat diet: AxA mating (9 families with 19 children), AxB mating (5 families with 10 children), and BxB mating (8 families with 21 children). RESULTS: The very-low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet produced significantly greater decreases in LDL particle size in offspring of BxB parents mean +/- SE: -0.55 +/- 0.16 nm) and AxB parents (-0.48 +/- 0.19 nm) than in offspring of AxA parents (0.14 +/- 0.20 nm). The number of children expressing pattern B with the 10%-fat diet and the proportion of children converting from pattern A to pattern B was significantly greater in offspring of BxB parents than in those with 1 or 2 pattern A parents. CONCLUSION: A very-low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet can induce expression of LDL-subclass pattern B in genetically predisposed children with low expression of the trait while consuming their usual diets.

This approach assumes that all students collaborate in similar ways and that presentday technology is sufficient to accommodate all collaboration forms. This view is superficial and limiting. Students collaborate in different ways at different levels on different learning activities. A more detailed articulation of collaboration in learning is crucial to understanding and extending the pedagogical capabilities and usefulness of collaborative technologies. A model is presented for a more finely articulated form of analysis that enumerates types of collaborative learning activities and evaluates how these activities may be supported through different design options. The analysis is based on actual classroom scenarios and the collaboration requirements that emerge from them. The authors have successfully applied this analysis model in the design of a computer-based collaborative learning environment for science education.

Therefore, analyses have only been possible in a geographically broad or approximate manner. The advent of geographic information systems and development of software enhancements at Sandia National Laboratories have made kilometer-by-kilometer analysis of populations tallied by U.S. Census blocks along entire routes practicable. Tabulations of total or racially/ethnically distinct populations close to a route, its alternatives, or the broader surrounding area, can then be compared and differences evaluated statistically. This article presents methods of comparing populations and their racial/ethnic compositions using simple tabulations, histograms, and chi-square tests for statistical significance of differences found. Two examples of these methods are presented: comparison of two routes and comparison of a route with its surroundings.

The results suggest an interesting link between sociopolitical structures and their influence on early scientific societies and the articles in their fledgling publications. In particular, the early professionalization of French science through the Académie Royale led to a heightened emphasis on features familiar in 20th-century practice: quantification, mathematical and mechanical explanations for acquired facts, visual representations of facts and their explanations, and use of observations and experimental results as stepping stones to theory. This social arrangement led as well to a narrower view of what constituted acceptable subject matter. Despite these differences, there are also enough similarities in English and French communicative practices to suggest the beginnings of an international scientific community.

Indicators of soil N availability (total soil N concentrations, extractable NH4-N, extractable NO3-N, and C/N ratios) were measured in Oa and A horizons at 33 study plots. Dynamic measures included potential net soil N mineralization determined in 12-week aerobic laboratory incubations at 22 °C. Potential net nitrification in the A horizon was correlated (r = +0.83, P < 0.001) with total soil N concentrations. Most measures of soil N availability did not exhibit significant trends with elevation, but there were topographic differences. Potential net soil N mineralization and net nitrification in the A horizon were higher in coves than on ridges. Relative amounts of particulate and organomineral soil organic matter influenced potential net N mineralization and nitrification in the A horizon. Calculations indicate that soil N availability and NO3-N leaching in high-elevation spruce and fir forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will increase in response to regional warming.

T1 - Landscape Correlates of Breeding Bird Richness Across the United States Mid-Atlantic Region. JO - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment JF - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment Y1 - 2000/06/15/ VL - 63 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 159 EP - 174 SN - 01676369 AB - Using a new set of landscape indicator data generated by the U.S.EPA, and a comprehensive breeding bird database from the National Breeding Bird Survey, we evaluated associations between breeding bird richness and landscape characteristics across the entire mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We evaluated how these relationships varied among different groupings (guilds) of birds based on functional, structural, and compositional aspects of individual species demographics. Forest edge was by far the most important landscape attribute affecting the richness of the lumped specialist and generalist guilds; specialist species richness was negatively associated with forest edge and generalist richness was positively associated with forest edge. Landscape variables (indicators) explained a greater proportion of specialist species richness than the generalist guild (46% and 31%, respectively). The lower value in generalists may reflect finer-scale distributions of open habitat that go undetected by the Landsat satellite, open habitats created by roads (the areas from which breeding bird data are obtained), and the lumping of a wide variety of species into the generalist category. A further breakdown of species into 16 guilds showed considerable variation in the response of breeding birds to landscape conditions; forest obligate species had the strongest association with landscape indicators measured in this study (55% of the total variation explained) and forest generalists and open ground nesters the lowest (17% of the total variation explained). The variable response of guild species richness to landscape pattern suggests that one must consider species' demographics when assessing the consequences of landscape change on breeding birds.

We define code to be aged or decayed if its structure makes it unnecessarily difficult to understand or change and we measure the extent of decay by counting the number of faults in code in a period of time. Using change management data from a very large, long-lived software system, we explore the extent to which measurements from the change history are successful in predicting the distribution over modules of these incidences of faults. In general, process measures based on the change history are more useful in predicting fault rates than product metrics of the code: For instance, the number of times code has been changed is a better indication of how many faults it will contain than is its length. We also compare the fault rates of code of various ages, finding that if a module is, on the average, a year older than an otherwise similar module, the older module will have roughly a third fewer faults. Our most successful model measures the fault potential of a module as the sum of contributions from all of the times the module has been changed, with large, recent changes receiving the most weight.

JO - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment JF - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment Y1 - 2000/08// VL - 63 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 481 EP - 494 SN - 01676369 AB - Approximately 250 000 kg of mercury was lost to water and soils at the U.S. Dept. of Energy Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the 1950s and early 1960s. A creek originating within the plant received continuous inputs of waterborne mercury, predominantly as dissolved inorganic mercury, from groundwater, streambed contamination, and sump and process water discharges to the contaminated storm sewer network. These produce aqueous total mercury concentrations of 1–2 μg L-1 in the upper reaches of the stream, decreasing to about 0.1–0.2 μg L-1 in its lower reaches. A program to reduce mercury concentrations in the creek identified specific sources (building sumps, contaminated springwater seeps, foundation drains, and contaminated piping) and rerouted water around contaminated portions of the drain system or collected and treated mercury-contaminated water before discharging it. As a result, waterborne mercury concentrations in the creek and total mercury loading were reduced from 1.8 μg L-1 to 0.6 μg L-1 and 100 to 20 g d-1, respectively, in the last 5 yr. Mean mercury concentrations in fish nearest source areas in the creek headwaters decreased at roughly the same rate as waterborne total mercury concentrations over the past five years, but at the facility boundary downstream the decline in mercury bioaccumulation was much less. At sites 5–15 km farther downstream, no decrease was evident. Dissolved methylmercury tended to increase with distance downstream in a pattern inverse to that noted for its dissolved inorganic mercury precursor. Improvements in water quality and modification of weirs to allow the passage of fish have resulted in the establishment of large populations of fish in mercury-contaminated headwater areas previously devoid of fish. It may be that the accumulation, retention, and eventual downstream transport of this reservoir of biologically incorporated methylmercury has acted to buffer against expected reductions in mercury in fish at downstream sites.

The indirect effects of an elevated CO2 concentration and temperature on leaf phytochemistry, along with potential direct effects on insect growth and consumption, may independently or interactively affect insects. To investigate this, we bagged larvae of the gypsy moth on leaves of red and sugar maple growing in open-top chambers in four CO2/temperature treatment combinations: (i) ambient temperature, ambient CO2; (ii) ambient temperature, elevated CO2 (+ 300 μL L-1 CO2); (iii) elevated temperature (+ 3.5°C), ambient CO2; and (iv) elevated temperature, elevated CO2. For both tree species, leaves grown at elevated CO2 concentration were significantly reduced in leaf nitrogen concentration and increased in C: N ratio, while neither temperature nor its interaction with CO2 concentration had any effect. Depending on the tree species, leaf water content declined (red maple) and carbon-based phenolics increased (sugar maple) on plants grown in an enriched CO2 atmosphere. The only observed effect of elevated temperature on leaf phytochemistry was a reduction in leaf water content of sugar maple leaves. Gypsy moth larval responses were dependent on tree species. Larvae feeding on elevated CO2-grown red maple leaves had reduced growth, while temperature had no effect on the growth or consumption of larvae. No significant effects of either temperature or CO2 concentration were observed for larvae feeding on sugar maple leaves. Our data demonstrate strong effects of CO2 enrichment on leaf phytochemical constituents important to folivorous insects, while an elevated temperature largely has little effect. We conclude that alterations in leaf chemistry...

CalTOX, one of these models, is used to calculate the potential dose, an outcome that is combined with the toxicity of the chemical to determine the Human Toxicity Potential (HTP), used to aggregate and compare emissions. The comprehensive assessment of the uncertainty in the potential dose calculation in this article serves to provide the information necessary to evaluate the reliability of decisions based on the HTP. A framework for uncertainty analysis in multimedia risk assessment is proposed and evaluated with four types of uncertainty. Parameter uncertainty is assessed through Monte Carlo analysis. The variability in landscape parameters is assessed through a comparison of potential dose calculations for different regions in the United States. Decision rule uncertainty is explored through a comparison of the HTP values under open and closed system boundaries. Model uncertainty is evaluated through two case studies, one using alternative formulations for calculating the plant concentration and the other testing the steady state assumption for wet deposition. This investigation shows that steady state conditions for the removal of chemicals from the atmosphere are not appropriate and result in an underestimate of the potential dose for 25% of the 336 chemicals evaluated.

Therefore, the in vivo metabolism of CCl[sub 4] was evaluated using groups of male animals (F344 rats, B6C3F[sub 1] mice, and Syrian hamsters) exposed to 40-1800 ppm CCl[sub 4] in a closed, recirculating gas-uptake system. For each species, an optimal fit of the family of uptake curves was obtained by adjusting Michaelis-Menten metabolic constants K [sub m] (affinity) and V [sub max] (capacity) using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. The results show that the mouse has a slightly higher capacity and lower affinity for metabolizing CCl[sub 4] compared to the rat, while the hamster has a higher capacity and lower affinity than either rat or mouse. A comparison of the V [sub max] to K [sub m] ratio, normalized for milligrams of liver protein (L/ h/ mg) across species, indicates that hamsters metabolize more CCl[sub 4] than either rats or mice, and should be more susceptible to CCl[sub 4]-induced hepatotoxicity. These species comparisons were evaluated against toxicokinetic studies conducted in animals exposed by nose-only inhalation to 20 ppm 14C-labeled CCl[sub 4] for 4 h. The toxicokinetic study results are consistent with the in vivo rates of metabolism, with rats eliminating less radioactivity associated with metabolism ( 14CO [sub 2] and urine/ feces) and more radioactivity associated with the parent compound (radioactivity trapped on charcoal) compared to either hamsters or mice. The in vivo metabolic constants determined here, together with in vitro constants determined using rat, mouse, hamster, and human liver microsomes, were used to estimate human in vivo metabolic rates of 1.49 mg/ h/ kg body weight and 0.25 mg/ L for V [sub max] and K [sub m], respectively. Normalizing the rate of metabolism ( V [sub ma] / K [sub m]) by milligrams liver protein, the rate of metabolism of CCl[sub 4] differs across species, with[sup x]hamster > mouse > rat > human.

Adsorption of 2-MP on kaolinite, illite, hectorite, montmorillonite, and Dowext was determined by the batch equilibrium method. In general, adsorption of 2-MP was positively correlated with the cation exchange capacity of the sorbent, suggesting that sorption of 2-MP on clay minerals occurs through a cation exchange reaction via the 2-methylpyridinium ion. The biodegradation of 2-MP was most rapid in the kaolinite suspensions, followed by no clay . illite k Dowex . hectorite/montmorillonite. With the exception of kaolinite, adsorption of 2-MP on clay minerals and Dowex reduced the rate of biodegradation. The degree of attenuation was positively correlated with the fraction of 2-MP sorbed, suggesting that sorbed 2-MP was not directly available for degradation. Desorption was not rate limiting in suspensions containing hectorite, montmorillonite, or Dowex; however, desorption may have become limiting in the kaolinite and illite suspensions. The results of this study clearly indicate that adsorption can directly affect the degradation of 2-MP in complex mineral systems.

Pinon pine is used for firewood, fence posts, and building materials and is a source of nuts for food—the seeds are consumed by a wide variety of animals and are also gathered by people in the area and eaten raw or roasted. This study investigated the (1) concentration of 3H, 137Cs, 90Sr, totU, 238Pu, 239, 240Pu, and241 Am in soils (0‐ to 12‐in. [31 cm] depth underneath the tree), pinon pine shoots (PPS), and pinon pine nuts (PPN) collected from LANL lands and regional background (BG) locations, (2) committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from the ingestion of nuts, and (3) soil to PPS to PPN concentration ratios (CRs). Most radionuclides, with the exception of 3H in soils, were not significantly higher (p < 0.10) in soils, PPS, and PPN collected from LANL as compared to BG locations, and concentrations of most radionuclides in PPN from LANL have decreased over time. The maximum net CEDE (the CEDE plus two sigma minus BG) at the most conservative ingestion rate (10 lb [4.5 kg]) was 0.0018 mrem (0.018 μSv); this is far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem (1000 μSv). Soil‐to‐nut CRs for most radionuclides were within the range of default values in the literature for common fruits and vegetables.

The waste streams were stabilized and solidified using chemically bonded phosphate ceramic (CBPC) binder, and then compacted by either uniaxial or harmonic press for volume reduction. The physical properties of the final waste forms were determined by measuring volume reduction, density, porosity, and compressive strength. The leachability of heavy metals in the final waste forms was determined by a toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test and a 90-day immersion test (ANS 16.1). The structural composition and nature of waste forms were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. CBPC binder and compaction can achieve 80-wt % waste loading and 39-47% reduction in waste volume. Compressive strength of final waste forms ranged from 1500 to 2000 psi. TCLP testing of waste forms showed that all heavy metals except Hg passed the TCLP limits using the phosphate-based binder. When Na[sub2]S was added to the binder, the waste forms also passed TCLP limits for Hg. Long-term leachability resistance of the final waste forms was achieved for all metals in both soil and ash wastes, and the leachability index was ∼ 14. XRD patterns of waste forms indicated vermiculite in the ash waste was chemically incorporated into the CBPC matrix. SEM showed that waste forms are layered when compacted by uniaxial press and are homogeneous when compacted by harmonic press.

The ITF is defined as the pollutant mass inhaled by an exposed individual per unit pollutant mass emitted from an air pollution source. A cumulative population inhalation transfer factor (PITF) is also defined to describe the total fraction of an emitted pollutant inhaled by all members of the exposed population. In this paper, ITFs and PITFs are calculated for outdoor releases from area, point, and line sources, indoor releases in single zone and multizone indoor environments, and releases within motor vehicles. Typical PITFs for an urban area from emissions outdoors are ∼ 10[sup-6]-10[sup-3]. PITFs associated with emissions in buildings or in moving vehicles are typically much higher, ∼ 10[sup-3]-10[sup-1].

This new variant is able to retain an arbitrary number of Ritz vectors from the previous iterations with a minimal restarting cost. Since it restarts with Ritz vectors, it is simpler than similar methods, such as the implicitly restarted Lanczos method. We carefully examine the effects of the floating-point round-off errors on stability of the new algorithm and present an implementation of the partial reorthogonalization scheme that guarantees accurate Ritz values with a minimal amount of reorthogonalization. We also show a number of heuristics on deciding which Ritz pairs to save during restart in order to maximize the overall performance of the thick-restart Lanczos method.

The bioindicators approach is a proven bioassessment method that uses responses of key (sentinel) aquatic organisms both as integrators of stress effects and as sensitive response (early-warning) indicators of environmental health. This integrated approach involves measuring a suite of selected biological and ecological responses at several levels of biological organization from the biomolecular and biochemical to the community levels. When properly designed and applied in field situations, bioindicator studies can help identify causal mechanisms between environmental stressors and population and community-level effects, and serve as a basis for which the effectiveness of remedial actions on the health of aquatic organisms can be evaluated. Rapidly-responding sensitive biomarkers, such as biomolecular and biochemical responses, and slower-response ecologically relevant bioindicators, such as population and community responses, can be included in field bioassessment programs to provide measurement endpoints for use in environmental compliance, regulatory decision-making, and ecological risk assessments. This bioindicators approach should be particularly relevant in helping to identify and diagnose sources of stressors in environments impacted by multiple stressors. To demonstrate use of bioindicators in addressing water quality issues, spatial and temporal patters in various biological responses are related to spatial and temporal patterns of contaminants in two aquatic systems compromised by different stressors.

Because these calculations generally are based on multiple upper-bound point estimates of input parameters, particularly for exposure attributes, they can yield results for decision makers that actually overstate the need for costly remediation. Alternatively, quantifying uncertainty and variability in exposure can provide a more informative and quantitative characterization of health risk. To illustrate, uncertainty and variability in exposure were analyzed for a hypothetical population at a specific site in California where there is trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated ground water and a potential for its residential use. When uncertainty and variability in exposure were addressed jointly, the 95th-percentile upper-bound value of individual excess lifetime cancer risk was a factor approaching 10 lower than the most conservative deterministic estimate. Also, the probability of more than zero additional cases of cancer can be estimated, and in this case study it is less than 0.5 for a prospective residential population of up to 26,900 individuals present for any 7.6-y interval of a 70-y time period. Clearly, this probabilistic approach can provide reasonable and equitable risk-acceptability criteria for contaminated sites.

The purpose of this study is to identify additional genes that are affected by UV and X-radiation. Identification of specific genes affected by radiation may allow the determination of pathways important in radiation responses as well as an examination of transcriptional elements that are involved in the process. Materials and methods: A modified differential display approach coupled with sequencing was used to identify genes that are modulated in response to UV and ionizing radiation, and Northern blot analysis was used to confirm specific gene modulation. Results: Treatment of human primary umbilical vein endothelial cells with UV radiation resulted in the differential expression of several genes. Sequencing of the bands revealed that one of these was calmodulin. There was a 30% reduction in accumulation of calmodulin-specific mRNA 1h post UV exposure, and a 50% decrease 3h after treatment. X-rays also repressed accumulation of calmodium mRNA. Radiation exposure of HeLa cells also resulted in a decrease in expression of this gene. Conclusions: UV and ionizing radiations cause a decrease in accumulation of calmodulin transcripts in the first 1-3 h following exposure. Repression of calmodium mRNA levels may be one mechanism of stress-induced intracellular Ca[sup 2+] modulation.

This includes impacts on nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, which is the leading cause of degraded water quality in the United States. Traditional hydrologic models focus on estimating peak discharges and NPS pollution from high-magnitude, episodic storms and successfully address short-term, local-scale surface water management issues. However, runoff from small, low-frequency storms dominates long-term hydrologic impacts, and existing hydrologic models are usually of limited use in assessing the long-term impacts of land-use change. A long-term hydrologic impact assessment (L-THIA) model has been developed using the curve number (CN) method. Long-term climatic records are used in combination with soils and land-use information to calculate average annual runoff and NPS pollution at a watershed scale. The model is linked to a geographic information system (GIS) for convenient generation and management of model input and output data, and advanced visualization of model results. The L-THIA/NPS GIS model was applied to the Little Eagle Creek (LEC) watershed near Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Historical land-use scenarios for 1973, 1984, and 1991 were analyzed to track land-use change in the watershed and to assess impacts on annual average runoff and NPS pollution from the watershed and its five subbasins. For the entire watershed between 1973 and 1991, an 18% increase in urban or impervious areas resulted in an estimated 80% increase in annual average runoff volume and estimated increases of more than 50% in annual average loads for lead, copper, and zinc. Estimated nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) loads decreased by 15% mainly because of loss of agricultural areas. The L-THIA/NPS GIS model is a powerful tool for identifying environmentally sensitive areas in terms of NPS pollution potential and for evaluating alternative land use scenarios for NPS pollution management.

This reduced, acclimated, stimulation of A often occurs concomitantly with a reduction in the maximum carboxylation velocity (Vc,max) of Rubisco. To investigate this relationship we used the Farquhar model of C3 photosynthesis to predict the minimum Vc,max capable of supporting the acclimated stimulation in A observed at elevated pCO2. For a wide range of species grown at elevated pCO2 under contrasting conditions we found a strong correlation between observed and predicted values of Vc,max. This exercise mechanistically and quantitatively demonstrated that the observed acclimated stimulation of A and the simultaneous decrease in Vc,max observed at elevated pCO2 is mechanistically consistent. With the exception of plants grown at a high elevated pCO2 (> 90 Pa), which show evidence of an excess investment in Rubisco, the failure to maintain the initial stimulation of A is almost entirely attributable to the decrease in Vc,max and investment in Rubisco is coupled to requirements.

Materials and methods: Human lymphocytes were irradiated in vitro with 3.0Gy [sup 60]Co γ-rays, 0.9 Gy [sup 3]H β-rays or 0.2 Gy 2.7Mev neutrons. Detailed chromosome aberrations were analysed by combined FISH with pan-telomere staining and specific wholechromosome painting (1, 2 and 4). Total chromosome translocations and insertions were also analysed by multicolour wholechromosome painting (chromosomes 1, 2 and 4 orange, chromosomes 3, 5 and 6 green). Results: Among the six proposed radiation cytogenetic fingerprints, the ratio of total simple translocations to insertions (I-ratio), showed the largest difference between low-LET 60Co γ-ray and high-LET neutron radiation. The ratios of complete exchanges to incomplete rejoinings [S(I)-ratio] and dicentrics to interstitial deletions (H-ratio), showed a similar significant difference between low- and high-LET radiation. The ratios of centric rings to interstitial deletion (G-ratio) showed a trend of LETrelated difference, but the difference was not significant in this data set. The ratios of dicentrics to centric rings (F-ratio) and apparent complete exchanges to hidden complete exchanges [S(II)-ratio], showed no difference between low- and high-LET radiation. In the 1426 radiation-induced chromosome aberrations observed after 52h culture, evidence for sister-chromatid fusion but not telomere addition was found. Conclusion: Pan-telomere staining plus specific whole chromosome painting allows simultaneous and objective detection of complete or incomplete chromosome exchanges and interstitial or terminal deletions in human peripheral lymphocytes. Of the six proposed cytogenetic ratios, the I-ratio is the most effective cytogenetic fingerprint for distinguishing low-LET from high-LET radiation in human metaphase human lymphocytes.

The readout architecture is designed for a chip containing about 3000 pixels of 50 μm×400 μm. The main objective is to get the maximum pixel hit readout with the minimum probability of hit loss. The readout architecture is modeled as a Markov stochastic process. The pixel front-end and readout are simulated and tested with Monte Carlo data. The simulations allow to optimize the communication channel bandwidths and local buffering. The probability of system overflow of the simulated system is compared with the one obtained by modeling [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Both the count rate variation measurement and the computer simulation showed that the defocusing effect disappeared in the 50 μm pitch MDOT. Initial charge buildup on the detector surface was also minimized when the small lateral dimension was combined with surface coating. The maximum gas gain was limited to ~1200 due to the small distance available for avalanche multiplication. We also developed a two-level microdot, namely closed-end gas electron multiplication (CEGEM) chamber. A CEGEM detector having a pitch of 200 μm, holes of 40 μm width and a spacer layer of 18.5 μm thickness showed a maximum gain of ~400. This gain is expected to increase by increasing the spacer layer thickness and adjusting the hole size [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We hoped to compare the compositions of two stylistically different ceramics found at Huating, and to evaluate the degree of compositional clustering and inter-site resolution that could be expected in an area that is noted for its extensive, and possibly very homogeneous, loess deposits. In addition, pottery sherds from Huating have been examined by microscopic petrography. All of these results will provide needed input in the planning of research towards the formation of a Neolithic/Shang Dynasty ceramic database for future use in archaeological research in China.

This paper explores the internal consistency of China's energy statistics from 1990 to 2000, coverage and reporting issues, and the state of the statistical reporting system. Available information suggests that while energy statistics were probably relatively good in the early 1990s, their quality has declined since the mid-1990s. China's energy statistics should be treated as a starting point for analysis, and explicit judgments regarding ranges of uncertainty should accompany any conclusions.

This paper provides details of an international comparison methodology and carries out the comparison on a number of International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries. These calculations show where differences in the components of emissions lead to large gaps among countries. The data, from national sources, are the most extensive and disaggregated ever compiled for this kind of international analysis. Overall, activity differences account for the largest part of the gap in per capita emissions among IEA countries. If we normalize emissions to GDP, then transport activity levels, energy intensities, and utility carbon intensity share about equally in explaining the differences in carbon/GDP ratios among countries. Most of the structural variations arise in the freight, services, and household sectors--sectors less sensitive to international competition than manufacturing.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2001/01// VL - 27 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 46 SN - 0364152X AB - Correlative relationships exist among conductivity, alkalinity, and hardness in streams due to natural geological and climatological controls, but the relationships among these three water-quality factors can be altered strongly by inputs of ion-rich wastewaters. The degree of alteration can be monitored conveniently by use of a simple chemical perturbation index, computed by subtracting the sum of rank pairwise correlations among the conductivity, alkalinity, and hardness (for observations on each of these variables, measured through time) from 3.0. The chemical perturbation index can be used to document or characterize spatiotemporal changes in stream water quality. This study explains the development of the index's concept and provides examples of its application in an extensive stream monitoring program used to assess ecological conditions in streams on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation in east Tennessee, USA. The chemical perturbation index technique may be particularly useful in community-based stream monitoring programs because to its simplicity and low cost.

Effects of physical properties of liquid-liquid dispersions such as aqueous-phase conductivity, organic-phase viscosity, aqueous-phase pH, and liquid-liquid interfacial surface tension are reported. Variation of these physical properties affected the ambivalence regime differently under the conditions with and without an applied electric field. The effect of electric fields on the drop size distribution was also studied for both organic-phase-dispersed and aqueous-phase-dispersed. The drop size distribution of aqueous drops shifted toward larger size while no significant change in the size of organic drops was observed as the field strength increased. The experimental results are qualitatively interpreted based on the electric polarization mechanism and drop-breakage/coalescence arguments.

Universal service is becoming ever more complex in terms of regulatory design as it becomes the digital divide. In order to evaluate the promise of the next generation Internet with respect to the digital divide this work looks backwards as well as forwards in time. By evaluating why previous universal service mechanisms failed and succeeded this work identifies specific characteristics of communications systems--in particular in billing and managing uncertainty--and argues that these characteristics underlie success or failure in terms of technological ubiquity. Developing a set of characteristics of services rather than a set of services is a fundamental break with the tradition of universal service. In fact, the implications of our proposal is that basic characteristics in the offering of the service rather than the absolute price are critical to close the digital divide: certainty of total charge, ability to avoid deposits or disconnection via best effort service, and payer-based control of all charges. While all of these principles sound obvious in fact none of these hold in the telephony network.

IH DataView replaces a LANL legacy system, IHSD, that restricted user access to a single point of data entry needed enhancements that support new operational requirements, and was not Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. IH DataView features a comprehensive suite of data collection and tracking capabilities. Through the use of Oracle database management and application development tools, the system is Y2K compliant and Web enabled for easy deployment and user access via the Internet. System accessibility is particularly important because LANL operations are spread over 43 square miles, and industrial hygienists (IHs) located across the laboratory will use the system. IH DataView shows promise of being useful in the future because it eliminates these problems. It has a flexible architecture and sophisticated capability to collect, track, and analyze data in easy-to-use form.

To better understand their characteristics and life cycles, surface data from the Seoul Weather Station (SWS) and surface and 850-hPa wind field data covering northeast Asia around the Korean Peninsula were used for the analysis. In the July 1992 episode, westerly winds were most frequent as a result of the influence of a high-pressure system west of the Korean Peninsula behind a trough. In contrast, in the July 1994 episode, easterly winds were most frequent as a result of the effect of a typhoon moving north from the south of Japan. Despite different prevailing wind directions, the peak O3 concentrations for each episode occurred when a sea/land breeze developed in association with weak synoptic forcing. The August 1994 episode, which was selected as being representative of calm conditions, was another typical example in which a well-developed sea/land breeze helped cause the peak O3 concentration to rise to a record high of 322 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). All three high O3 episodes ended as a result of precipitation, and subsequent rises in O3 concentrations were also suppressed by a series of precipitation events afterwards. In particular, two heavy rainfalls were the main reason why the August 1994 episode, which had the highest and second-highest O3 concentrations, lasted only a few days.

JO - Molecular Microbiology JF - Molecular Microbiology Y1 - 2001/02// VL - 39 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 567 EP - 580 SN - 0950382X AB - FlhD is a 13.3 kDa transcriptional activator protein of flagellar genes and a global regulator. FlhD activates the transcription of class II operons in the flagellar regulon when complexed with a second protein FlhC (21.5 kDa). FlhD also regulates other expression systems in Escherichia coli . We are seeking to understand this plasticity of FlhD's DNA-binding specificity and, to this end, we have determined the crystal structure of the isolated FlhD protein. The structure was solved by substituting seleno-methionine for natural sulphur-methionine in FlhD, crystallizing the protein and determining the structure factor phases by the method of multiple-energy anomalous dispersion (MAD). The FlhD protein is dimeric. The dimer is tightly coupled, with an intimate contact surface, implying that the dimer does not easily dissociate. The FlhD monomer is predominantly α-helical. The C-termini of both FlhD monomers (residues 83–116) are completely disrupted by crystal packing, implying that this region of FlhD is highly flexible. However, part of the C-terminus structure in chain A (residues 83–98) was modelled using a native FlhD crystal. What is seen in chain A suggests a classic DNA-binding, helix–turn–helix (HTH) motif. FlhD does not bind DNA by itself, so it may be that the DNA-binding HTH motif becomes rigidly defined only when FlhD forms a complex with some other protein, such as FlhC. If this were true, it might explain how FlhD exhibits plasticity in its DNA-binding specificity, as each partner protein with which it forms a complex could allosterically affect the binding specificity of its HTH motif. A disulphide bridge is seen between the unique cysteine residues (Cys-65) of FlhD native homodimers. Alanine substitution at Cys-65 does not affect FlhD transcription activator activity, suggesting that the disulphide bond is not necessary for either dimer stability or this function of FlhD. Electrostatic potential analysis indicates...

JO - Transportation Science JF - Transportation Science Y1 - 2001/02// VL - 35 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 PB - INFORMS: Institute for Operations Research SN - 00411655 AB - Traditional models of route generation are based on choosing routes that minimize expected travel-time between origin and destination. Such approaches do not account for the fact that travelers often incorporate travel-time variability within their decision making. Thus, a route with lower travel-time variability is preferred by some travelers, even if such a route is not one with the lowest mean travel-time. Such traveler behavior is best captured by a multiobjective model in which the choice of a route is based on the mean as well as the variance of the path travel-time. Our route-planning model is intended to help travelers make choices that reflect their decision-making process better. We formulate a network flow multiobjective model in which one of the objectives (expectation) is linear, whereas, the other (variance) is quadratic. In order to present the user with a series of options, we solve a series of parametric 0–1 quadratic integer programs. By utilizing the network structure of the problem, we devise an effective algorithm in which the 0–1 quadratic program is solved by using a continuous relaxation together with an enumeration of some selected paths. Finally, we note that the data requirements for the model can be easily satisfied in practice.

Measurements of Hg fluxes were performed during midday periods using the ORNL Teflon dynamic flux chamber. Mean Hg emission fluxes were 1.4±0.3–2.4±1.0 ng m-2 hr-1 for three shaded forest sites and 7.6±1.7 ng m-2 hr-1 for an open field site. Hg dry deposition was observed at a heavily shaded forest site over wet soils (mean = –0.3±0.2 ng m-2 hr-1). The overall mean Hg flux was 1.4±1.4 ng m-2 hr-1 for the four shaded forest sites. The Hg fluxes observed at these sites are similar to those found at other northern background sites. Significant, rapid response of Hg emission to solar radiation was observed over these background soils. Artificial irrigation over these soils induced immediate and measurable increases in Hg emission. Soil temperature was found to be less influential to Hg air/surface exchange over these heavily shaded forest background soils than we have seen elsewhere.

For some countries in this analysis, this measure exhibits significant decreases, while for other countries this measure exhibits significant increases over the period of analysis. The Adaptive Weighted Divisia rolling base year index specification is applied to carbon emissions from the residential sector for 10 OECD countries for the period 1970-1993. Decreases in aggregate carbon intensity for six of the countries range less than 8% to almost 72%, and may be attributed to changes in three different factors. However, for all of the countries, decreases are offset by shifts in end-use structure toward more carbon-intensive activities. These shifts are driven by an increase in the number of households with a corresponding increase in floor space, acquisition of greater numbers of major appliances and by an increase in the "other" energy consumption category.

However, rats are less sensitive to the hepatotoxic effects of CCl4 than the other two species. The purpose of this study was to compare the uptake, tissue distribution, and elimination of CCl[sub 4] by these three rodent species. Groups of 20 F344/Crl BR rats, B6C3F[sub 1] mice, and Syrian hamsters were exposed by nose-only inhalation for 4 h to 20 ppm [sup 14]C-labeled CCl[sub 4]. The fate of [sup 14]C was followed in tissues, excreta, and exhaled breath for 48 h after the exposure. At the end of the exposure, concentrations of CCl[sub 4] equivalents (CE) in tissue were highest in liver of rats and mice, but highest in fat for rats. The liver received the highest dose of CCl[sub 4] equivalents with the following species ranking: mouse > hamster > rat. Patterns of CE elimination were species and tissue dependent, with the majority of elimination occurring within 48 h after exposure. Rats eliminated less radioactivity associated with metabolism ([sup 14]CO[sub 2], urine and feces) and more radioactivity associated with parent compound (exhaled activity trapped on charcoal) than did mice or hamsters. The results indicate that ranking of species sensitivity to the hepatotoxic effects of inhaled CCl[sub 4] correlates with CE dose to liver and with the ability to metabolize CCl[sub 4].

JO - Journal of Microscopy JF - Journal of Microscopy Y1 - 2001/03// VL - 201 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 395 EP - 403 SN - 00222720 AB - Soft X-ray microscopes can be used to examine whole, hydrated cells up to 10 µm thick and produce images approaching 30 nm resolution. Since cells are imaged in the X-ray transmissive ‘water window’, where organic material absorbs approximately an order of magnitude more strongly than water, chemical contrast enhancement agents are not required to view the distribution of cellular structures. Although living specimens cannot be examined, cells can be rapidly frozen at a precise moment in time and examined in a cryostage, revealing information that most closely approximates that in live cells. In this study, we used a transmission X-ray microscope at photon energies just below the oxygen edge (λ = 2.4 nm) to examine rapidly frozen mouse 3T3 cells and obtained excellent cellular morphology at better than 50 nm lateral resolution. These specimens are extremely stable, enabling multiple exposures with virtually no detectable damage to cell structures. We also show that silver-enhanced, immunogold labelling can be used to localize both cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins in whole, hydrated mammary epithelial cells at better than 50 nm resolution. The future use of X-ray tomography, along with improved zone plate lenses, will enable collection of better resolution (approaching 30 nm), three-dimensional information on the distribution of proteins in cells.

JO - Journal of Microscopy JF - Journal of Microscopy Y1 - 2001/03// VL - 201 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 404 EP - 415 SN - 00222720 AB - Segmenting individual cell nuclei from microscope images normally involves volume labelling of the nuclei with a DNA stain. However, this method often fails when the nuclei are tightly clustered in the tissue, because there is little evidence from the images on where the borders of the nuclei are. In this paper we present a method which solves this limitation and furthermore enables segmentation of whole cells. Instead of using volume stains, we used stains that specifically label the surface of nuclei or cells: lamins for the nuclear envelope and alpha-6 or beta-1 integrins for the cellular surface. The segmentation is performed by identifying unique seeds for each nucleus/cell and expanding the boundaries of the seeds until they reach the limits of the nucleus/cell, as delimited by the lamin or integrin staining, using gradient-curvature flow techniques. We tested the algorithm using computer-generated objects to evaluate its robustness against noise and applied it to cells in culture and to tissue specimens. In all the cases that we present the algorithm gave accurate results.

However, this policy-making paradigm often relies on some of the most restrictive sets of assumptions of microeconomics: the convexity conditions required for competitive markets to be Pareto-efficient. When positive feedback or lock-in occurs, these assumptions do not hold, and standard economic analysis of environmental policy may lead to technologically inferior outcomes, e.g., pollution control costs that are higher than necessary. This paper considers positive feedback in several different forms, and argues that it commonly occurs in markets that affect environmental policies, such as markets for energy technologies. The discussion examines how the standard paradigm for environmental economics breaks down in the presence of positive feedback or lock-in, and considers some policy responses to this problem. The case of SO2 trading helps illustrate how the standard paradigm can miss important technological opportunities for lower-cost pollution mitigation. The argument also suggests how the standard paradigm encourages end-of-pipe solutions and tends to overlook options like pollution prevention strategies, which can sometimes provide more economical environmental improvements.

Above-ground plant biomass did not differ between plants that were not exposed to these radionuclides and those that were exposed to soil containing 137Cs or 90Sr. After three harvests, bahia, johnson and switchgrass plants accumulated from 17.2 to 67.3% of the 137Cs and from 25.1 to 61.7% of the 90Sr added to the soil. Poultry litter and peat moss amendments increased aboveground plant biomass, activity of 137Cs or 90Sr in plant tissue, % accumulation of 137Cs or 90Sr from soil and the plant bioconcentration ratio at each harvest compared to the control (no amendment) treatment. The greatest increases in plant biomass, and radionuclide accumulation were observed with poultry litter for each of the three grass species. Johnson grass had greater aboveground plant biomass, activity of 137Cs and 90Sr in plant tissue, % accumulation of 137Cs or 90Sr from soil and bioconcentration ratio in each soil amendment, at each harvest compared to bahia and switchgrass. The greatest accumulation of 137Cs and 90Sr was measured in johnson grass grown in soil that was amended with poultry litter. These results suggest that plant species selection and agronomic practices may need to be considered to maximize phytoremediation of radionuclide contaminated soils.

The results show a bimodal frequency distribution of BC concentrations. Approximately 65% of the measurements were found in a mode at a low range of concentrations centered at ∼20 ng/m³. These concentrations are higher than those found at other remote Antarctic locations and probably represent contamination from the station. The remaining measurements were in a high-concentration mode (BC ∼300 ng/m³), indicating direct impact of local emissions from combustion activities at the station. High values of BC were associated with winds from the direction of the station, and the BC flux showed a clear directionality. Maximum BC concentrations occurred between 7:00 and 11:00 a.m. The "polluted" mode accounted for more than 80% of the BC frequency-weighted impact at this location.

The problem formulation and exposure analysis phases are presented in this article; an analysis of effects and risk characterization is presented in a companion article. The intent of this article is threefold: (1) to illustrate the development of a generic framework for the ecological risk assessment of an activity, (2) to show how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ecological risk assessment paradigm can be applied to an activity other than the release of a chemical, and (3) to provide guidance for the assessment of ecological risks from low-altitude aircraft overflights. The key stressor for low-altitude aircraft overflights is usually sound, although visual and physical (collision) stressors may also be significant. Susceptible and regulated wildlife populations are the major assessment endpoint entities, although plant communities may be impacted by takeoffs and landings. The exposure analysis utilizes measurements of wildlife locations, measurements of sound levels at the wildlife locations, measurements of slant distances from aircraft to wildlife, models that extrapolate sound from the source aircraft to the ground, and bird-strike probability models. Some of the challenges to conducting a risk assessment for aircraft overflights include prioritizing potential stressors and endpoints, choosing exposure metrics that relate to wildlife responses, obtaining good estimates of sound or distance, and estimating wildlife locations.

JO - Applied Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Applied Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2001/05// VL - 16 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 619 EP - 630 SN - 1047322X AB - The Cardiff Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) plant, located in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, used metallic beryllium in their beryllium facility during the years of operation 1961-1997. The beryllium production processes included melting and casting, powder production, pressing, machining, and heat and surface treatments. As part of Cardiff's industrial hygiene program, extensive area measurements and personal lapel measurements of airborne beryllium concentrations were collected for Cardiff workers over the 36-year period of operation. In addition to extensive air monitoring, the beryllium control program also utilized surface contamination controls, building design, engineering controls, worker controls, material controls, and medical surveillance. The electronic database includes 367,757 area sampling records at 101 locations and 217,681 personal lapel sampling records collected from 194 employees over the period 1981-1997. Similar workplace samples were collected from 1961 to 1980, but they were not analyzed because they were not available electronically.Annual personal mean sampling concentrations for all workers ranged from 0.11 to 0.72 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m[sup 3]) with 95th percentiles ranging from 0.22 to 1.89 μg/m[sup 3]; foundry workers worked in the highest concentration areas with a mean of 0.87 μg/m[sup 3] and a 95th percentile of 2.9 μg/m[sup 3]. Area sampling concentrations, as expected, were lower than personal sampling concentrations. Mean annual area sample concentrations for all locations ranged from 0.02 to 0.32 μg/m[sup 3]. The area sample 95th percentile concentrations for all years were below 0.5 μg/m[sup 3]. For the overwhelming majority of samples, airborne beryllium concentrations were below the 2.0 μg/m[sup 3] standard. Although blood lymphocyte testing for beryllium sensitization has not been routinely conducted among these workers, this metal beryllium processing facility is the only large scale beryllium facility of its kind to have experienced only one unique a case of clinical chronic beryllium disease (CBD) ascertained by traditional medical monitoring procedures. The treating physician determined that this lung disease was likely caused by a systems reaction resulting from a mound contaminated with beryllium. However,he could not rule out the potential for inhalation exposure. Over the 17 years of measurement data analyzed, on occasion, airborne beryllium concentrations have exceeded 2.0 μg/m[sup 3]; however, the Cardiff experience demonstrates that strict and consistent adherence to exposure control measures that emphasized airborne and surface levels and appropriate engineering controls, work practices, and use of personal protective equipment appears to have successfully prevented the incidence of clinical CBD with the exception of one unique case.

This presumption is based largely on studies of cardiorespiratory fitness. To assess whether studies of cardiorespiratory fitness are germane to physical activity guidelines, we compared the dose-response relationships between cardiovascular disease endpoints with leisure-time physical activity and fitness from published studies. Data Sources: Twenty-three sex-specific cohorts of physical activity or fitness (representing 1,325,004 person-years of follow-up), cited in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of the Surgeon General's Report. Data Synthesis: Relative risks were plotted as a function of the cumulative percentages of the samples when ranked from least fit or active, to most fit or active. To combine study results, a weighted average of the relative risks over the 16 physical activity or seven fitness cohorts was computed at every 5th percentile between 5 and 100%. The analyses show that the risks of coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease decrease linearly in association with increasing percentiles of physical activity. In contrast, there is a precipitous drop in risk occurring before the 25th percentile of the fitness distribution. As a consequence of this drop, there is a significant difference in the risk reduction associated with being more physically active or physically fit (P Tv) of the installed electrochromic ranged from 0.11 to 0.38. The data are limited to the winter period for a south-east-facing window. The effect of actual device performance on lighting energy use, direct sun control, discomfort glare, and interior illumination is discussed. No mechanical system loads were monitored. These data demonstrate the use of electrochromics in a moderate climate and focus on the most restrictive visual task: computer use in offices.Through this small demonstration, we were able to determine that electrochromic windows can indeed provide unmitigated transparent views and a level of dynamic illumination control never before seen in architectural glazing materials. Daily lighting energy use was 6–24% less compared to the 11%-glazing, with improved interior brightness levels. Daily lighting energy use was 3% less to 13% more compared to the 38%-glazing, with improved window brightness control. The electrochromic window may not be able to fulfill both energy-efficiency and visual comfort objectives when low winter direct sun is present, particularly for computer tasks using cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays. However, window and architectural design as well as electrochromic control options are suggested as methods to broaden the applicability of electrochromics for commercial buildings. Without further modification, its applicability is expected to be limited during cold winter periods due to its slow switching speed.

Results suggest that wetlands can be important transformation and phase transfer regions, linking the terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric compartments of regional biogeochemical Hg cycles. Fluxes determined by flux chamber measurements averaged 43 ± 5 ng m-2 h-1. Additionally, soil gas probe sampling was introduced to determine mercury concentrations in soil air. This technique shows some promise for detecting and confining mercury contamination in soils. We also propose that measurements of total gaseous mercury (TGM) in soil air and the near-surface atmosphere, in combination with simple soil physical parameters, may be suitable for calculating semiquantitative estimates of Hg evaporation from contaminated soils, based on laminar diffusion considerations. The results are compared to other Hg flux measurements, and the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to quantify Hg emissions from soils are discussed, especially with regard to possible systematic bias.

Pueblo residents and Los Alamos scientists are concerned about radiological doses resulting from uptake of Area G radionuclides by mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus), then consumption of deer and elk meat by humans. Tissue samples were collected from deer and elk accidentally killed near Area G and were analyzed for 3H, 90Sr, total U, 238Pu, 239, 240Pu, 241Am, and 137Cs. These data were used to estimate human doses based on meat consumption of 23 kg y-1. Human doses were also modeled using RESRAD, and dose rates to deer and elk were estimated with a screening model. Dose estimates to humans from tissue consumption were 2.9 × 10-3 mSv y-1 and 1.6 × 10-3 mSv y-1 from deer and elk, respectively, and RESRAD dose estimates were of the same order of magnitude. Estimated dose rates to deer and elk were 2.1 × 10-4 mGy d-1 and 4.7 × 10-4 mGy d-1, respectively. All estimated doses were significantly less than established exposure limits or guidelines.

Sequential filter samplers were used at six different sites from 23 February to 22 March 1997. The sampling campaign was carried out as part of the project ‘Investigacio´n sobre Materia Particulada y Deterioro Atmosfe´rico-Aerosol and Visibility Evaluation Research’. This research was a cooperative project sponsored by PEMEX and by the US Department of Energy. Sampling sites represent the different land uses along the city, the northwest station, Tlalnepantla, is located in a mixed medium income residential and industrial area. The northeast station, Xalostoc, is located in a highly industrialized area, Netzahualcoyotl is located in a mixed land use area, mainly commercial and residential. Station La Merced is located in the commercial and administrative district downtown. The southwest station is located in the Pedregal de San Angel, in a high-income neighborhood, and the southeast station located in Cerro de la Estrella is a mixed medium income residential and commercial area. Samples were collected four times a day in Cerro de la Estrella (CES), La Merced (MER) and Xalostoc (XAL) with sampling periods of 6 h. In Pedregal (PED), Tlalnepantla (TLA) and Netzahualcoyotl (NEZ) sampling periods were every 24 h. In this paper the basic statistics of PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations are presented. The average results showed that 49, 61, 46, 57, 51 and 44% of the PM10 consisted of PM2.5 for CES, MER, XAL, PED, TLA and NEZ, respectively. The 24-h average highest concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were registered at NEZ (184 and 267 μg/m3) and the lowest at PED (22 and 39 μg/m3). The highest PM10 correlations were between XAL-CES (0.79), PED-TLA (0.80). In contrast, the highest PM2.5 correlations were between CES-PED (0.74), MER-CES (0.73) and TLA-PED (0.72), showing a lower correlation than the PM10 one. The results of the PM10 from 12.00 to 18.00 h at CES and MER presented the highest variability and also the highest median concentrations, meanwhile XAL showed them from 06.00 to 12.00 h. The highest variability and median concentrations of PM2.5 were from 06.00 to 12.00 h for the three stations.

In addition, four 6-h samples were taken each day at three of the core sites. Sampling locations were selected to represent regional, central city, commercial, residential, and industrial portions of the city. Mass and light transmission concentrations were determined on all of the samples, while elements, ions and carbon were measured on approximately two-thirds of the samples. PM10 concentrations were highly variable, with almost three-fold differences between the highest and lowest concentrations. Fugitive dust was the major cause of PM10 differences, although carbon concentrations were also highly variable among the sampling sites. Approximately 50% of PM10 was in the PM2.5 fraction. The majority of PM mass was comprised of carbon, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium and crustal components, but in different proportions on different days and at different sites. The largest fine-particle components were carbonaceous aerosols, constituting ∼50% of PM2.5 mass, followed by ∼30% secondary inorganic aerosols and ∼15% geological material. Geological material is the largest component of PM10, constituting ∼50% of PM10 mass, followed by ∼32% carbonaceous aerosols and ∼17% secondary inorganic aerosols. Sulfate concentrations were twice as high as nitrate concentrations. Sulfate and nitrate were present as ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate. Approximately two-thirds of the ammonium sulfate measured in urban areas appears to have been transported from regions outside of the study domain, rather than formed from emissions in the urban area. Diurnal variations are apparent, with two-fold increases in concentration from night-time to daytime. Morning samples had the highest PM2.5 and PM10 mass, secondary inorganic aerosols and carbon concentrations, probably due to a shallow surface inversion and rush-hour traffic.

Adhesion of parasitized red blood cells (PRBCs) to endothelial cells and subsequent accumulation in the microvasculature are pivotal events in the pathogenesis of falciparum malaria. During intraerythrocytic development, numerous proteins exported from the parasite associate with the RBC membrane skeleton but the precise function of many of these proteins remain unknown. Their cellular location, however, suggests that some may play a role in adhesion. The adhesive properties of PRBCs are best studied under flow conditions in vitro ; however, experimental variation in levels of cytoadherence in currently available assays make subtle alterations in adhesion difficult to quantify. Here, we describe a flow-based assay that can quantify small differences in adhesion and document the extent to which a number of parasite proteins influence adhesion using parasite lines that no longer express specific proteins. Loss of parasite proteins ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (RESA), knob-associated histidine-rich protein (KAHRP) or Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 3 (PfEMP3) had a significant effect on the ability of PRBCs to adhere, whereas loss of mature parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (MESA) had no effect. Our studies indicate that a number of membrane skeleton-associated parasite proteins, although not exposed on the RBC surface, can collectively affect the adhesive properties of PRBCs and further our understanding of pathophysiologically relevant structure/function relationships in malaria-infected RBCs.

The InterGroup suite of protocols is a scalable group communication system that introduces an unusual approach to handling group membership, and supports a receiver-oriented selection of service. The protocols are intended for a wide-area network, with a large number of nodes, that has highly variable delays and a high message loss rate, such as the Internet. The levels of the message delivery service range from unreliable unordered to reliable timestamp ordered. We also present a secure group layer that builds on InterGroup to provide SSL-like security for groups.

We present a sequence of visualizations and visual metaphors designed to help engineers understand and manage the software change process. The principal metaphors are matrix views, cityscapes, bar and pie charts, data sheets, and networks. Linked by selection mechanisms, multiple views are combined to form perspectives that both enable discovery of high-level structure in software change data and allow effective access to details of those data. Use of the views and perspectives is illustrated in two important contexts: understanding software change by exploration of software change data and management of software development. Our approach complements existing visualizations of software structure and software execution.

This paper presents an extensive review of the literature in V&V in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discusses methods and procedures for assessing V&V, and develops a number of extensions to existing ideas. The review of the development of V&V terminology and methodology points out the contributions from members of the operations research, statistics, and CFD communities. Fundamental issues in V&V are addressed, such as code verification versus solution verification, model validation versus solution validation, the distinction between error and uncertainty, conceptual sources of error and uncertainty, and the relationship between validation and prediction. The fundamental strategy of verification is the identification and quantification of errors in the computational model and its solution. In verification activities, the accuracy of a computational solution is primarily measured relative to two types of highly accurate solutions: analytical solutions and highly accurate numerical solutions. Methods for determining the accuracy of numerical solutions are presented and the importance of software testing during verification activities is emphasized. The fundamental strategy of validation is to assess how accurately the computational results compare with the experimental data, with quantified error and uncertainty estimates for both. This strategy employs a hierarchical methodology that segregates and simplifies the physical and coupling phenomena involved in the complex engineering system of interest. A hypersonic cruise missile is used as an example of how this hierarchical structure is formulated. The discussion of validation assessment also encompasses a number of other important topics. A set of guidelines is proposed for designing and conducting validation experiments, supported by an explanation of how validation experiments are different from traditional experiments and testing. A description is given of a relatively new procedure for estimating experimental uncertainty that has proven more effective at estimating random and correlated bias errors in wind-tunnel experiments than traditional methods. Consistent with the authors’ contention that nondeterministic simulations are needed in many validation comparisons, a three-step statistical approach is offered for incorporating experimental uncertainties into the computational analysis. The discussion of validation assessment ends with the topic of validation metrics, where two sample problems are used to demonstrate how such metrics should be constructed. In the spirit of advancing the state of the art in V&V, the paper concludes with recommendations of topics for future research and with suggestions for needed changes in the implementation of V&V in production and commercial software.

The objective of this article is to provide a decision framework to specify initial and follow-up actions, including possible decontamination, and to address long-term health and environmental issues. This decision framework consists of four phases, beginning with the identification of an incident and ending with verification that cleanup and remediation criteria have been met. The flowchart takes into account both differences and similarities among potential agents or toxins at key points in the decisionmaking process. Risk evaluation and communication of information to the public must be done throughout the process to ensure a successful effort.

Lack of markets, concerns about sustained soil productivity, and lack of commercial conversion technologies have precluded the widespread harvest of corn residues for this purpose. This paper reviews existing literature to evaluate the major environmental impacts potentially associated with stover harvest from reduced tillage corn production sites. Issues of greatest concern are erosion and soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, the latter both for its role in soil quality and yield and for global carbon cycle implications. About half of the literature examined concerned research in the United States, many publications described research activities conducted for decades, and major soil types in corn producing regions were well represented. Regional differences were primarily temperature and rainfall effects on stand establishment and yield, with potential feedback effects on SOC. Several research papers discussing the effects of residue harvest were found, but few field studies were found that explicitly studied the effects of corn stover harvest and most discussions acknowledge potential tradeoffs among beneficial and adverse effects. It was concluded that more information is needed on several topics to determine potential long-term effects of residue harvest, including (1) erosion and water quality, especially pesticides and nitrate, (2) rates of transformation of different forms of SOC, (3) effects on soil biota, and (4) SOC dynamics in the subsoil.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1085 EP - 1090 SN - 07307268 AB - The coupling of the valley drift (VALDRIFT) atmospheric dispersion/deposition model with the agricultural dispersal (AGDISP) aircraft wake model generates a modeling system for predicting the off-target drift of pesticides sprayed in a mountain valley. The approach uses the AGDISP near-field spray model to estimate the mass fraction of pesticide remaining airborne after initial application, then the VALDRIFT complex terrain model to estimate the drift of pesticide from the target area. The modeling system inputs include detailed spray information, a measure (or estimate) of winds in the valley, and the valley topographic characteristics; the results are pesticide concentrations throughout the valley atmosphere and pesticide deposition to the valley surface. The AGDISP and VALDRIFT models are operated independently, with the results from AGDISP being used as input to VALDRIFT through user-created data files. The modeling system was evaluated using pesticide drift data from spray trials conducted in the Mill Creek Canyon of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, USA, during the late spring of 1993. The predicted deposition compared within a factor of three of the observations (70% of the time) at all sampling locations extending several kilometers down-valley from the spray treatment block. The overall average ratio of predicted-to-observed deposition was 0.9.

JO - Journal of Microscopy JF - Journal of Microscopy Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 206 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 170 EP - 178 SN - 00222720 AB - Summary In this study, we investigated the relative contributions of atomic number (Z) and density (ρ) to the degradation of the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) pattern quality for nanoparticles < 500 nm in diameter. This was accomplished by minimizing the diffuse scattering from the conventional thick mounting substrate through the design of a sample holder that can accommodate particles mounted on thin-film TEM substrates. With this design, the contributions of incoherently scattered electrons that result in the diffuse background are minimized. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons were made of the EBSD pattern quality obtained from Al2 O3 particles approximately 200 nm in diameter mounted on both thick- and thin-film C substrates. For the quantitative comparison we developed a ‘quality’ factor for EBSD patterns that is based on the ratio of two Hough transforms derived from a given EBSD pattern image. The calculated quality factor is directly proportional to the signal-to-noise ratio for the EBSD pattern. In addition to the comparison of the thick and thin mounting substrates, we also estimated the effects of Z and ρ by comparing the EBSD pattern quality from the Al2 O3 particles mounted on thin-film substrates with the quality of patterns obtained from Fe–Co nanoparticles approximately 120 nm in diameter. The results indicate that the increased background generated in EBSD patterns by the electrons escaping through the bottom of the small particles is the dominant reason for the poor EBSD pattern quality from nanoparticles < 500 nm in size. This was supported by the fact that we were able to obtain usable EBSD patterns from Al2 O3 particles as small as 130 nm using the thin-film mounting method.

Arms reductions could result in a closure of additional facilities in Russia and other nuclear weapons states. A transparency regime to monitor their shutdown or converted status could become an important element of future arms control and nonproliferation initiatives as well as a possible element of the emerging U.S.-Russian nuclear security partnership. This article explores possible approaches to monitoring former warhead assembly facilities and discusses anticipated difficulties of implementing such a transparency regime.

One case involved a fish kill (> 24,000 fish) caused directly by sodium bisulfite; the second describes a near-miss situation resulting from over-dosing with sodium thiosulfate. Toxicity tests showed that overfeed situations with sodium thiosulfate or sodium bisulfite can depress pH and dissolved oxygen, causing mortality of fish. Bacteria also can metabolize some sulfur-based dechlorinating agents, thereby increasing the potential for reductions in pH and concentrations of dissolved oxygen. Although removing toxic levels of chlorine is important when releasing chlorine-containing wastewaters to aquatic systems, waste-treatment plant operators should also be aware of significant impacts that can occur if sulfur-based dechlorinating agents are used to excess.

As schools have focused on purchasing computers and providing internet access, there has been little consideration of ergonomics. Even if educators and school administrators acknowledge students would benefit from better ergonomics, they may assume it is too expensive or not know where to begin. This paper describes one process used to implement low cost ergonomic improvements and provide training for teachers, staff and students in an elementary school.

The as-crystallized microstructure was made up of three nanoscale phases; α-Fe, Fe23C6, and Fe3B phases. Vickers hardness testing revealed a maximum hardness of 16.2 GPa which is significantly harder than existing commercial steel alloys and hardmetals. Detailed structural studies uncovered two important factors which contribute to the development of this extreme hardness; reductions in microstructure scale to the nanometer regime and supersaturation of transition metal alloying elements significantly above their equilibrium solubility limits.

Whereas a goal of delineating ‘ecosystem services’ is to make readily apparent some of the important ways in which ecosystems underpin human welfare, insights are also gained by appreciating the nonlinear dynamic properties of ecosystems. In this paper, we review some of the relevant characteristics of complex systems. Ecosystems and economic systems share many properties, but valuation has typically been driven by short-term human preferences. Here we argue that as the force of humanity increases on the planet, ecosystem service valuation will need to switch from choosing among resources to valuing the avoidance of catastrophic ecosystem change.

This was a combination of a fuzzy ranking method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The method was capable of ranking ecosystems in terms of environmental conditions and suggesting cumulative impacts across a large region. Using data on land cover, population, roads, streams, air pollution, and topography of the Mid-Atlantic region, we were able to point out areas that were in relatively poor condition and/or vulnerable to future deterioration. The method offered an easy and comprehensive way to combine the strengths of fuzzy set theory and the AHP for ecological assessment. Furthermore, the suggested method can serve as a building block for the evaluation of environmental policies.

As shown in this paper, there is a direct relationship between such displacement and reservoir dynamics. This relationship is exploited in order to image fluid flow at two geothermal field sites. At the first locality, the Hijiori Hot Dry Rock (HDR) test site, 17 tilt meters record deformation associated with a 2.2 km deep injection experiment. Images of fluid migration along a ring fracture system of the collapsed Hijiori caldera are obtained. At the Okuaizu geothermal field, leveling and tilt meter data provide constraints on long- and short-term fluid movement within the reservoir. A set of 119 leveling data suggest that the north-to-northeast trending Takiyagawa fault acts as a barrier to flow. The northwesterly oriented Chinoikezawa and Sarukurazawa faults appear to channel fluid from the southeast. The tilt data from Okuaizu indicate that a fault paralleling the Takiyagawa fault zone acts as a conduit to transient flow, on a time scale of several weeks. The volume strain in a region adjacent to the injection wells reaches a maximum and then decreases with time. The transient propagation of fluid along the fault may be due to pressure build-up, resulting from the re-initiation of injection.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 8 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 589 SN - 13541013 AB - Abstract The role of mid-latitude forests in the sequestration of carbon (C) is of interest to an increasing number of scientists and policy-makers alike. Net CO2 exchange can be estimated on an annual basis, using eddy-covariance techniques or from ecological inventories of C fluxes to and from a forest. Here we present an intercomparison of annual estimates of C exchange in a mixed hardwood forest in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest, Indiana, USA for two years, 1998 and 1999. Based on eddy-covariance measurements made at 1.8 times canopy height from a tower, C uptake by the forest was 237 and 287 g C m-2 y-1 for 1998 and 1999, respectively. For the same time period, biometric and ecophysiological measures and modelled estimates of all significant carbon fluxes within deciduous forests were made, including: change in living biomass, aboveground and belowground detritus production, foliage consumption, and forest floor and soil respiration. Using this ecological inventory method for these same two time periods, C uptake was estimated to be 271 and 377 g C m-2 y-1 , which are 14.3% and 31.4% larger, respectively, than the tower-based values. The relative change between this method's annual estimates is consistent with that of the eddy-covariance based values.

In this article, we provide an overview of the published sources on China's energy statistics, mainly concerning energy production and consumption. Aggregate statistics and balances are available through publications of the National Bureau of Statistics, and specialised publications present information on sectors and individual enterprises in greater detail. Some materials are available in English, while most are only in Chinese, and some key information is available on the internet. While shortcomings in coverage and quality affect many energy indicators, China's statistics can be used for meaningful analysis, provided that the factors affecting data quality are given due consideration, and checks using other indicators are performed.

These load reductions played an important role in avoiding the hundreds of hours of rotating power outages predicted several months prior. Many factors affected electricity use and peak demand in summer 2001, including weather, changes in the State's economy, and deliberate consumer responses to a variety of stimuli associated with the crisis. This paper assesses the roles played by these contributing factors, with a special focus on the extraordinary efforts made by Californians to reduce electricity consumption. We review the role of media coverage and informational campaigns on public awareness and the impact of rate increases and a variety of publicly funded programs in reducing electricity consumption. We also draw lessons for other regions that may be faced with the prospect of electricity shortages.

Physical indicators allow a detailed analysis of intra-sectoral trends, in contrast to the often used monetary indicators. We assess the contribution of different factors affecting CO2 emissions in the cement industry, including change in product mix, efficiency of power generation, changes in fuel mix and changes in energy efficiency. The decomposition results show that in all examined countries, increased production was the main contributor to the increase in total CO2 emissions. Energy-efficiency improvement is the most important factor that led to the reduction of emission intensities for all countries except Korea. For Korea, structural change in the product mix is the most important factor contributing to the emission intensity reduction.

JO - Molecular Ecology JF - Molecular Ecology Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 11 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1115 EP - 1124 SN - 09621083 AB - Abstract Among mammals, some of the most common types of cohesive social groupings originate from natal philopatry through the extended mother family. This retention of females within social groups (i.e. the nonrandom dispersion of female relatives in space) should affect population genetic structure. We examined the relationship between genetic relatedness and female spatial organization in a wild population of the North-American raccoon, Procyon lotor , a solitary carnivore in east Tennessee. Multilocus genetic band-sharing data and 3½ years of radiotelemetry observations were used to study the spatial and genetic relationships among 38 adult females. DNA amplification employing primers of arbitrary sequence (random amplified polymorphic DNA; RAPD) indicated that female philopatry in raccoons led to a greater likelihood of neighbours being more related than expected by chance. Genetic distance based on RAPD band frequency was positively correlated with spatial distance among females (P = 0.0001) and genetic similarity was positively correlated with the extent of home-range overlap (P = 0.0028). Philopatry seemed biased towards females; average female–female similarities were greater than average male–male similarities (P = 0.0001), or average male–female similarities (P = 0.0001). High home-range overlap among some females with low or moderate levels of band sharing indicated that maternal inheritance of space was not a prerequisite for establishing or sharing home ranges. Female philopatry was the most probable explanation for the nonrandom spatial and genetic association of raccoons in east Tennessee.

The technologies accepted as conventional are those well along in the process of commercialization. The dye-sensitized solar cell, developed in the 1990s, is a nonconventional solar electric technology that has attracted much attention, perhaps a result of its record cell efficiency above 10%. This paper reviews the technology, discusses new research results and approaches presented at a recent symposium of many of the world''s important dye solar cell researchers, and presents an assessment of the dye-sensitized solar cell in a comparison with current conventional solar electric technologies. It concludes the dye solar cell has potential for becoming a cost-effective means for producing electricity, capable of competing with available solar electric technologies and, eventually, with today''s conventional power technologies. But it is a relatively new technology and faces many hurdles on the path to commercialization. Because of its potential, this assessment recommends further funding for research and development (R&D) of the dye-sensitized solar cell technology on the basis of the promising technical characteristics of the technology, a strong US and worldwide research base, positive industry interest, and today''s relatively small funding allocation for its R&D.

Uncertainty results obtained with replicated random and Latin hypercube samples are compared, with the Latin hypercube samples tending to produce more stable results than the random samples. Sensitivity results obtained with the following procedures and/or measures are illustrated and compared: correlation coefficients (CCs), rank correlation coefficients (RCCs), common means (CMNs), common locations (CLs), common medians (CMDs), statistical independence (SI), standardized regression coefficients (SRCs), partial correlation coefficients (PCCs), standardized rank regression coefficients (SRRCs), partial rank correlation coefficients (PRCCs), stepwise regression analysis with raw and rank-transformed data, and examination of scatter plots. The effectiveness of a given procedure and/or measure depends on the characteristics of the individual test problems, with (1) linear measures (i.e., CCs, PCCs, SRCs) performing well on the linear test problems, (2) measures based on rank transforms (i.e., RCCs, PRCCs, SRRCs) performing well on the monotonic test problems, and (3) measures predicated on searches for nonrandom patterns (i.e., CMNs, CLs, CMDs, SI) performing well on the nonmonotonic test problems.

The most visited site was a 1.25-ha semi-deciduous forest fragment surrounded by private homes and tropical pine savanna. Out of 83 visits by tour groups, nine were longer than 25 minutes and six were less than two minutes. Eliminating the high and low values, an average of 12 minutes was spent by tourists viewing the monkeys (range 4.0-25.0 minutes). By comparison, great apes in captivity are also viewed for an average of 12 minutes. Thus, tourists watch wild primates approximately as long as they watch captive ones. This study challenges researchers to further investigate in situ ecotourism as it relates to the broader conservation goals of zoos.

We have modified the emissions framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Phase II guidelines developed by the IPCC and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for national emissions inventories, and have linked it to operate with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory''s Agriculture and Land Use (AgLU) model. The paper shows that, in the context of moderate climate change, improvements in fertilizer application efficiency and animal management makes it possible to reduce total agricultural N emissions in 2080 to about 1995 levels, which is about 20% below the projected baseline value.

We explore how to quantify the effects of a software tool once it has been deployed in a development environment. We present an effort-analysis method that derives tool usage statistics and developer actions from a project's change history (version control system) and uses a novel effort estimation algorithm to quantify the effort savings attributable to tool usage. We apply this method to assess the impact of a software tool called VE, a version-sensitive editor used in Bell Labs. VE aids software developers in coping with the rampant use of certain preprocessor directives (similar to #if/#endif in C source files). Our analysis found that developers were approximately 40 percent more productive when using VE than when using standard text editors.

The Al excess in homophase SiC grain boundary films was determined, taking into account dissolved Al in the SiC lattice. In the spot-EDS analysis, an electron beam probe with a calibrated diameter was formed, and the total beam–specimen interaction volume was defined, taking the beam spreading through crystalline TEM foil into consideration. EDS spectra were collected from regions containing intergranular films and adjacent matrix grains, respectively. A theoretical treatment was presented and experimental errors were estimated, with a further discussion about the effects of foil thickness. Experimental examples are given, followed by statistical EDS analyses for grain boundary films in SiC samples hot-pressed with increased amounts of Al additions. The results demonstrated a substantial Al segregation in the nanometer-wide intergranular films in all samples. Al additions higher than 3 wt% saturated the Al concentrations in SiC grains and in grain boundary films. The effect of foil thickness, and the parameters for determining the optimum incident beam diameter in the EDS analysis are discussed.

This simulation method utilizes a hierarchy of simulators in which the integrated responses (signals) from smaller-scale process models are transferred and incorporated into the algorithms of larger spatial- and temporal-scale models of ecological and economic phenomena. Several innovative procedures germane to multi-issue sustainable forest management have been initiated in our signal-transfer modeling development for forests of the southeastern United States. These developments include response surface interpolation for multi-factor signal-transfer, use of loblolly pine modeling to infer the growth of other southern pines, determination of soil nutrient limitations to productivity, multivariate clustering as a spatial basis for defining land units relevant to forest management, and variance propagation through the modeling hierarchy. Algorithms for larger scale phenomena are shown to constrain the variance introduced from a smaller-scale in a simulation of ambient ozone exposure effects on loblolly pine timber yield. Outputs of forest variables are frequency distributions that may be statistically compared for alternative environmental or management scenarios.

This neutrality is very important for the design of both experiments and testing protocols. Here we show that the φX174 am3, cs70 transgene gives qualitatively similar results to the other transgenes studied after exposure of the mice to N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea . In the small intestine, the mutant frequency induced by an acute dose did not change significantly from 10 to 70 days post-treatment, indicating that the mutations induced are, indeed, neutral. Likewise, the mutant frequency increased linearly with duration of exposure to ENU at a constant rate. Mutant frequencies obtained were 10 times higher from the chronic exposure than produced by a nearly lethal acute dose. As in previous comparisons of a transgene and the endogenous Dlb-1 locus in the small intestine, the chronic exposure was much more effective at increasing the sensitivity of the transgene than of the endogenous gene. The Dlb-1 locus shows more complex kinetics in this strain, as in others, with mutations initially accumulating at a slower rate, indicating a differential repair of genetic damage.

However, separate applications of ES and CFD usually cannot give an accurate prediction of building thermal and flow behavior due to the assumptions used in the applications. An integration of ES and CFD can eliminate many of these assumptions, since the information provided by ES and CFD is complementary. This paper describes some efficient approaches to integrate ES and CFD, such as static and dynamic coupling strategies, in order to bridge the discontinuities of time-scale, spatial resolution and computing speed between ES and CFD programs. This investigation further demonstrates some of the strategies through two examples by using the EnergyPlus and MIT-CFD programs.

Modules to describe the building walls and various systems have been created. They form the models library. By assembling the appropriate modules, a zonal model of an entire building can be constructed. A model-generating tool called GenSPARK automates this process. SPARK solves the set of equations resulting from this construction to obtain the air flow and temperature distribution in the building. We describe our formulation of zonal models, show how GenSPARK works and give examples of configurations we are able to analyze.

The facility is located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. Virtual science laboratories like VNMRF represent a compelling vision. They are consistent with the notion laid out by former chairman of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council William A. Wulf of a collaboratory or virtual science laboratory as a center without walls, in which the nation's researchers can perform their research without regard to geographical locatio. Such laboratories strive to be open research environments in which scientists from various disciplines collaborate on advanced research using leading-edge instruments and tools while reducing the physical, organizational and political boundaries that might otherwise inhibit them from frilly using their collective skills, abilities, and brainpower to solve the world's most challenging scientific problems.

An MLC consists of a laminate of multiple alternating electrode layers and dielectric layers sandwiched between two ceramic cover layers. An analytical model is developed to derive simple closed-form solutions for the apparent coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the laminate. Plasticity of electrodes is included in the analysis. The predicted apparent CTEs are compared with measurements of some laminated ceramic composites. The effects of plasticity on apparent CTEs and residual stresses in MLC systems are discussed.

JO - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment JF - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment Y1 - 2002/08// VL - 77 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 293 EP - 309 SN - 01676369 AB - Zero-valent iron (Fe0)-based permeable reactive barrier treatment has been generating great interest for passive groundwater remediation, yet few studies have paid particular attention to the microbial activity and characteristics within and in the vicinity of the Fe0-barrier matrix. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the microbial population and community composition in the reducing zone of influence by Fe0 corrosion in the barrier at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant site. Both phospholipid fatty acids and DNA analyses were used to determine the total microbial population and microbial functional groups, including sulfate-reducing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, and methanogens, in groundwater and soil/iron core samples. A diverse microbial community was identified in the strongly reducing Fe0 environment despite a relatively high pH condition within the Fe0 barrier (up to pH ∼ 10). In comparison with those found in the background soil/groundwater samples, the enhanced microbial population ranged from ∼ 1 to 3 orders of magnitude and appeared to increase from upgradient of the barrier to downgradient soil. In addition, microbial community composition appeared to change over time, and the bacterial types of microorganisms increased consistently as the barrier aged. DNA analysis indicated the presence of sulfate-reducing and denitrifying bacteria in the barrier and its surrounding soil. However, the activity of methanogens was found to be relatively low, presumably as a result of the competition by sulfate/metal-reducing bacteria and denitrifying bacteria because of the unlimited availability of sulfate and nitrate in the site groundwater. Results of this study provide evidence of a diverse microbial population within and in the vicinity of the iron barrier, although the important roles of microbial activity, either beneficially or detrimentally, on the longevity and enduring efficiency of the Fe0 barriers are yet to be evaluated.

A variety of contaminants (heavy metals, chemicals, insecticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorines, and radioactive isotopes) range across different spatial scales and concentrations on LANL land. This study is an example of a monitoring program over a large area with varying degree of contamination that is used to highlight locations of concern for future research. There were two locations where the flycatcher had a lower hatching success. The bluebirds at Sandia wetland, a location of concern for PCBs, had a thinner eggshell thickness index (RATCLIFFE) and the eggs were smaller than at other locations. The flycatcher had thinner eggshells than bluebirds, which could add to sensitivity to exposure to contaminants. There was no variation in clutch size or sex ratio between locations or areas closer to contaminant release sites for both species. Percent females in the clutch ranged from 0 to 100% in the WEBL and from 33 to 67% for ATFL.

Volatile tracers may be strongly affected by partitioning between gas and liquid phases, and by exchanges between fractures and rock matrix. This paper presents a space-discretized treatment of tracer diffusion under multiphase conditions that is fully coupled with equilibrium phase partitioning. Our method is self-consistent and is applicable to any combination of gas and liquid phases in single and two-phase conditions, including the extreme case of diffusion across a sharp gas–water interface. It is shown that an uncoupled approach, in which diffusive fluxes in gas and liquid phases are evaluated separately and added, can lead to large errors. The coupled treatment of multiphase tracer diffusion has been implemented in the general-purpose geothermal reservoir simulator TOUGH2. Applications to strongly and weakly depleted zones at The Geysers vapor-dominated reservoir produce breakthrough curves (BTCs) whose features (timing, peak, tail) agree well with field observations.

We have compiled field measurements of biomass and associated environmental data for multiple study sites in major grassland types worldwide. Where sufficient data were available, we compared aboveground and total NPP estimated by six computational methods (algorithms) for 31 grassland sites. As has been found previously, NPP estimates were 2–5 times higher using methods which accounted for the dynamics of dead matter, compared with what is still the most commonly applied estimate of NPP (maximum peak live biomass). It is suggested that assumptions such as the use of peak biomass as an indicator of NPP in grasslands may apply only within certain subbiomes, e.g. temperate steppe grasslands. Additional data on belowground dynamics, or other reliable estimates of belowground productivity, are required if grasslands are to be fully appreciated for their role in the global carbon cycle.

Tamoxifen is used to treat breast cancer and may reduce the risk of breast cancer. However, there are conflicting reports as to whether tamoxifen use is associated with changes in brain metabolism and function or cognitive impairment. Consequently, we assessed the effects of tamoxifen and estrogen on the brain chemistry of elderly women. Methods: We used proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure the concentrations of N-acetyl-containing compounds, myo-inositol (MI), total creatine (creatine plus phosphocreatine), and choline-containing compounds in the frontal white matter, basal ganglia, and hippocampus of 76 elderly women of whom 16 had received tamoxifen therapy, 27 had received estrogen as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and 33 had received neither (control group). A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine the statistical significance of differences in cerebral metabolite concentrations among subject groups and brain regions. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: Women in the tamoxifen and HRT groups had lower concentrations of MI in all areas than women in the control group (P =.02; overall group effect on ANOVA). Compared with the control group, the tamoxifen group (P =.004) and the HRT group (P =.06) had lower concentrations of MI in their basal ganglia. The MI concentration in the basal ganglia was inversely correlated with the duration of tamoxifen treatment (rho = -.72; P =.005). Conclusions: The reduced concentrations of MI in the brains of women treated with tamoxifen and HRT, compared with those of control women, suggest that tamoxifen has an effect similar to that of estrogen. These results, if confirmed, may alleviate concerns about the safety of using tamoxifen to reduce breast cancer risk in elderly women.

To examine this variability, 10 human lymphoblastoid cell lines were screened for adaptability to 137Cs radiation by determining the frequency of micronuclei in binucleated cells. Of these, six adapted, three did not adapt and one was synergistic. The assay was then repeated on each of the cell lines to test for reproducibility. Five cell lines showed the same result both times; four of these adapted and one did not.To determine whether fluctuations in the cell cycle distribution in the irradiated population of cells could alter the adaptive response, and therefore explain some of the observed variability, two of the cell lines were tested for adaptation after enriching the population, by synchronization, for a given cell cycle stage. In both cell lines, the direction of the response was altered when the distribution of cells within the cell cycle was changed, suggesting that the adaptive response can be affected by cell cycle stage at the time of irradiation.

Sequestering atmospheric C in agricultural soils is being advocated as a possibility to partially offset fossil-fuel emissions. Sequestering C in agriculture requires a change in management practices, i.e. efficient use of pesticides, irrigation, and farm machinery. The C emissions associated with a change in practices have not traditionally been incorporated comprehensively into C sequestration analyses. A full C cycle analysis has been completed for agricultural inputs, resulting in estimates of net C flux for three crop types across three tillage intensities. The full C cycle analysis includes estimates of energy use and C emissions for primary fuels, electricity, fertilizers, lime, pesticides, irrigation, seed production, and farm machinery. Total C emissions values were used in conjunction with C sequestration estimates to model net C flux to the atmosphere over time. Based on US average crop inputs, no-till emitted less CO2 from agricultural operations than did conventional tillage, with 137 and 168 kg C ha−1 per year, respectively. Changing from conventional tillage to no-till is therefore estimated to both enhance C sequestration and decrease CO2 emissions. While the enhanced C sequestration will continue for a finite time, the reduction in net CO2 flux to the atmosphere, caused by the reduced fossil-fuel use, can continue indefinitely, as long as the alternative practice is continued. Estimates of net C flux, which are based on US average inputs, will vary across crop type and different climate regimes. The C coefficients calculated for agricultural inputs can be used to estimate C emissions and net C flux on a site-specific basis.

A multidisciplinary research team used member consensus and quantitative estimates, with extensive external review, to develop a specific research agenda. The team outlined the following priority research topics: building-influenced communicable respiratory infections, building-related asthma/allergic diseases, and nonspecific building-related symptoms; indoor environmental science; and methods for increasing implementation of healthful building practices. Available data surest that improving building environments may result in health benefits for more than 15 million of the 89 million US indoor workers, with estimated economic benefits of $5 to $75 billion annually. Research on these topics, requiring new collaborations and resources, offers enormous potential health and economic returns.

Three key elements of this simulation environment are discussed: (1) a numerical engine for solving sets of coupled non-linear process equations; (2) an automated procedure for model code generation (`Automatic Code Generator''); (3) a Web-distributed Knowledge Base (KB) of processes. The Automatic Code Generator translates the information selected in the KB into computer algorithms using the principles defined in the numerical engine. The code CONTRASTE is a first attempt at developing such a modelling framework. It allows one to easily select, adapt and combine a specific set of biogeochemical processes relevant to a user-defined application. The workings of CONTRASTE are described by means of examples which demonstrate how the various components of the simulation environment are coupled and automated. Prospects for future developments towards a fully automated model generation procedure are discussed.

In this paper, we describe a stabilization of the primal-dual interior-point approach that ensures rapid local convergence under these conditions without enforcing the usual centrality condition associated with path-following methods. The stabilization takes the form of perturbations to the coefficient matrix in the step equations that vanish as the iterates converge to the solution.

We seek here to contribute to this understanding by first summarizing the requirements of an emerging class of advanced Grid applications, and then discussing the technical and policy issues that affect how these requirements can be met.

We measure productivity while treating pollution as an undesirable output. Our estimates show that technical change has contributed to productivity and environmental performance growth in the container glass industry, an energy and pollution intensive sector. Changes in inter-plant efficiency over time have made this productivity growth more rapid than otherwise would have occurred with the underlying technical change. The efficiency estimates show that there are both opportunities to improve productivity and reduce pollution in this industry, as well as productivity losses associated with the emissions control. The shadow prices for NOx, the undesirable output we analyze, is quite high compared to other regulated sectors.

The specific types of linking which have been addressed in most detail in recent years are those having to do with the links between journal articles. These would include the links from citation metadata to the electronic full-text article and links from references following an article (the bibliography) directly to the referred citation and/or article. A basic concept is that there must be a way to identify the work to be ‘linked-to.’ A second concept is that in order to ‘link-to’ an outside system, there must be an identifiable syntax, which often includes an identifier, for creating a query into that system to find the correct article. In this paper we focus on experiences in linking from an A&I database record to full-text and linking from a bibliography to full-text. Accomplishing this required implementing a system that uses metadata to determine the identifiers and the required elements for various ‘link-to’ syntaxes across disparate systems.

AB - Objective: Studies of the neurobiological processes underlying drug addiction primarily have focused on limbic subcortical structures. Here the authors evaluated the role of frontal cortical structures in drug addiction.Method: An integrated model of drug addiction that encompasses intoxication, bingeing, withdrawal, and craving is proposed. This model and findings from neuroimaging studies on the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional processes that are at the core of drug addiction were used to analyze the involvement of frontal structures in drug addiction.Results: The orbitofrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate gyrus, which are regions neuroanatomically connected with limbic structures, are the frontal cortical areas most frequently implicated in drug addiction. They are activated in addicted subjects during intoxication, craving, and bingeing, and they are deactivated during withdrawal. These regions are also involved in higher-order cognitive and motivational functions, such as the ability to track, update, and modulate the salience of a reinforcer as a function of context and expectation and the ability to control and inhibit prepotent responses.Conclusions: These results imply that addiction connotes cortically regulated cognitive and emotional processes, which result in the overvaluing of drug reinforcers, the undervaluing of alternative reinforcers, and deficits in inhibitory control for drug responses. These changes in addiction, which the authors call I-RISA (impaired response inhibition and salience attribution), expand the traditional concepts of drug dependence that emphasize limbic-regulated responses to pleasure and reward.

The vehicle for the intervention was a municipal environmental plan (PAM) for each municipality. The process for creating the PAMs included training, community workshops, and direct engagement of local government officials, local representatives of national-level organizations, civil society, and the private sector. Local circumstances such as feelings of community pride that resulted from the transfer of the canal to Panamanian authority were included in the design of the interventions. In addition to fomenting a local "demand" for environmental activities, the PAM process taught strategic planning techniques and built confidence in the local governments' abilities to address problems.

Several architectural CAD tools are already IFC-compliant. However, in-depth knowledge of the highly complex IFC object model is required to develop IFC-compliant software. It has proven quite difficult to read the huge amount of building data stored in an IFC file, extract the information needed by a particular application, and correctly update the IFC file with new data. To make this work easier for developers not familiar with the IFC, Olof Granlund Oy has developed a new development tool, BSPro COM-Server for IFC Files. Using this tool, a software developer of new or existing tools can achieve IFC compatibility with a quite reasonable amount of work.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 21 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2198 EP - 2203 SN - 07307268 AB - Depleted uranium (DU) has been used as a substitute for the fissionable enriched uranium component of atomic weapons tested at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) (Los Alamos, NM, USA) since the early 1950s, resulting in considerable concentrations of DU in the soils within the test sites. Although the movement of DU into major aquatic systems has been shown to be minimal, there are many small-order ephemeral streams and areas of standing water in canyons throughout LANL that may be affected by inputs of DU via runoff, erosion, and leaching. Ninety-six-hour acute and 7-d chronic toxicity assays were conducted to measure the toxicity of DU on survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia dubia. A 14-d water-only assay was conducted to measure survival and growth of Hyalella azteca. The estimated median lethal concentration (LC50) to produce 50% mortality of the test population for the 96-h Ceriodaphnia dubia assay was 10.50 mg/L. Reproductive effects occurred at a lowest-observableeffect concentration >3.91 mg/L with a no-observable-effect concentration of 1.97 mg/L. The estimated 14-d LC50 for the Hyalella azteca assay was 1.52 mg/L. No significant relationship was detected between growth and DU concentrations. Concentrations at which toxicity effects were observed in this study for both invertebrates exceeded concentrations of total uranium observed in runoff from LANL lands. Thus, it is likely that current runoff levels of uranium do not pose a threat to these types of aquatic invertebrates.

To achieve this objective, NFC introduced the concept of “network services”, which build on top of computational Grids, and provide Fusion codes, together with their maintenance and hardware resources as a service to the community. This mode of operation requires the development of new authorization and enforcement capabilities. In addition, the nature of Fusion experiments places strident quality of service requirements on codes run during the experimental cycle. In this paper, we describe Grid computing requirements of the Fusion community, and present our first experiments in meeting those requirements.

In order to support this shift in science, the computing and data-handling infrastructure that is essential to most of modern science must also change in order to support this increased complexity. This is the goal of computing and data Grids: software infrastructure that facilitates solving large-scale problems by providing the mechanisms to access, aggregate, and manage the computer network-based infrastructure of science. This infrastructure includes computing systems, data archive systems, scientific instruments, and computer-mediated human collaborations. This paper examines several large-scale science problems, their requirements for computing and data Grid infrastructure, and the current approaches to providing the necessary functionality.

We characterized soil carbon dynamics in a Russian steppe preserve using a 100-year-old-soil archive and modern samples collected from the same site. The site has been protected since 1885 to the present, during which time the region has experienced widespread conversion to cultivation, a decrease in fire frequency, and a trend of increasing precipitation. In the preserve, the amount of organic carbon did not change appreciably between the 1900 and 1997 sampling dates, with 32 kg C/m2 in the top meter and a third of that in the top 20 cm. Carbon and nitrogen stocks varied by less than 6% between two replicate modern soil pits or between the modern sites and the archive. Radiocarbon content decreased with depth in all sites and the modern SOM had positive Δ values near the surface due to nuclear weapons testing in the early 1960s. In the upper 10 cm, most of the SOM had a turnover time of 6–10 years, according to a model fit to the radiocarbon content. Below about 10 cm, the organic matter was almost all passive material with long (millennial) turnover times. Soil respiration Δ14 CO2 on a summer day was 106–109‰, an isotopic disequilibrium of about 9‰ relative to atmospheric 14 CO2 . In both the modern and archive soil, the relative abundance of 13 C in organic matter increased with depth by 2‰ in the upper meter from δ13 C = --26‰ at 5 cm to --24‰ below a meter. In addition, the slope of δ13 C vs. depth below 5 cm was the same for both soils. Given the age of the soil archive, these results give clear evidence that the depth gradients are not due to depletion of atmospheric 13 CO2 by fossil fuel emissions but must instead be caused by...

If the frequency of these weather extremes were to increase in the near future, as recent trends for the US indicate and as projected by global climate models (e.g., US National Assessment, Overview Report, 2001, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, National Assesment Synthesis Team, US Global Change Research Program, Washington, DC; Houghton et al., 2001, IPCC Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis, Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 335pp.), the cost of crop losses in the coming decades could rise dramatically. Yet current assessments of the impacts of climate change on agriculture have not quantified the negative effects on crop production from increased heavy precipitation and flooding (Impacts of climate change and variability on agriculture, in: US National Assessment Foundation Document, 2001. National Assessment Synthesis Team, US Global Change Research Program, Washington DC.). In this work, we modify a dynamic crop model in order to simulate one important effect of heavy precipitation on crop growth, plant damage from excess soil moisture. We compute that US corn production losses due to this factor, already significant under current climate, may double during the next thirty years, causing additional damages totaling an estimated $3 billion per year. These costs may either be borne directly by those impacted or transferred to private or governmental insurance and disaster relief programs.

The PDDP algorithm creates a hierarchical taxonomy of a data set by successively splitting the data into sub-clusters, and at each level, the cluster with the largest variance is split by a hyper-plane orthogonal to its leading principal component. The PDDP algorithm is known to produce high-quality clusters, especially when applied to high dimensional data such as document-word feature matrices, and it also scales well with both the size and the dimensionality of the data set. However, at each level, only the locally optimal choice of splitting is considered, and at a later stage, this often leads to a non-optimal global partitioning of the data. The presented non-greedy version of the PDDP (NGPDDP) addresses this problem by considering multiple alternative splitting strategies at each level. Describes the results from applying the NGPDDP to generated and real data (feature vectors from sets of text documents), noting that the results show substantial improvements in cluster quality.

The studies revealed that for both oxygen partial pressures a 20–35 nm thick interfacial CuAlO2 layer formed, which crystallises in the rhombohedral structure. However, the CuAlO2 layer is not continuous, but interrupted by many pores. In the samples annealed in the higher oxygen partial pressure an additional reaction phase with a needle-like structure was observed. The needles are several millimetres long, ∼10 µm wide and ∼1 µm thick. They consist of CuAlO2 with alternating rhombohedral and hexagonal structures. Solid-state contact angle measurements were performed to derive values for the work of adhesion. The results show that the adhesion is twice as good for the annealed specimen compared to the as-bonded sample.

Combining estimates of US computer room floor space for hosting facilities with total computer room power density, we found that these US data centers in the aggregate required less than 500 MW of power in 2000, and used only about 0.12% of the electricity consumed nationwide in that year. In this paper, our order-of-magnitude estimate suggests that energy demands of these facilities do not represent an enormous new burden on the electricity industry as a whole. The fact that these facilities tend to be concentrated in certain areas, however, may mean that there will be significant regional electricity demands in some parts of the country. If combined heat and power (CHP) technologies were introduced to data center facilities on a large scale, initial calculations indicate that these facilities might even become net contributors of power to the electric grid.

Therefore, reducing the paper demand will lead to GHG emission reduction. Paper use for communication is responsible for GHG emissions of 121 Mton CO2-equivalents in Western Europe (1995). In this paper a baseline scenario is developed for Western Europe that forecasts a rise in communication paper consumption from 31 Mtons/year in 1995 to 53 Mtons in 2015. We show that several measures are available to reduce the demand for publication papers, e.g. thinner paper, efficient printing technologies, duplexing, and printing on demand (POD). The impact of these measures are determined by using a life cycle inventory approach whereby we focus on GHGs only. We estimate that it is technically possible to reduce paper demand in 2015 by 37% compared with the baseline scenario. This would correspond to a GHG emission reduction of 70 Mton CO2-equivalents We calculate that the intensity of use of publication papers may drop from 5.2 kg per $1000 GDP in 1995 to 3.4 kg per $1000 GDP in 20l5 (all in 1995$). The measures with the largest emission reduction potential are, lowering the basic weight of paper as well as POD. Assumptions on the market potential of POD are uncertain and have a large influence on the results. Further research should focus on determining the influence of increasing access to (digital) information on paper demand. In the analysis only material management improvements are taken into account, no improvements in energy efficiency or improved waste management practices are taken into account.

Intake fraction is the fraction of chemical mass emitted into the environment that eventually passes into a member of the population through inhalation, ingestion, or dermal exposure. To date, this concept has been primarily applied to pollutants whose primary route of exposure is inhalation. Here we extend the use of iF to multimedia pollutants with multiple exposure pathways. We use a level III multimedia model to calculate iF for TCDD and compare the result to one calculated from measured levels of dioxin toxic equivalents in the environment. We calculate iF for emissions to air and surface water for 308 chemicals. We correlate the primary exposure route with the magnitudes of the octanol–water partition coefficient, K[sub ow], and of the air–water partitioning coefficient (dimensionless Henry constant), K[sub aw]. This results in value ranges of K[sub ow] and K[sub aw] where the chemical exposure route can be classified with limited input data requirements as primarily inhalation, primarily ingestion, or multipathway. For the inhalation and ingestion dominant pollutants, we also define empirical relationships based on chemical properties for quantifying the intake fraction. The empirical relationships facilitate rapid evaluation of many chemicals in terms of the intake. By defining a theoretical upper limit for iF in a multimedia environment we find that iF calculations provide insight into the multimedia model algorithms and help identify unusual patterns of exposure and questionable exposure model results.

We have now used this assay to identify reversion and/or death requirements of several more aggressive human breast cancer cell lines.Methods: Breast tumor cell lines MCF7, Hs578T, and MDA-MB-231 were cultured in 3D rBM and treated with inhibitors of beta1 integrin, MAPK, or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). MDA-MB-231 cells, which lack E-cadherin, were transfected with an E-cadherin cDNA. The extent of reversion was assessed by changes in morphology and polarity, growth in 3D rBM or soft agar, level of invasiveness, and tumor formation in nude mice.Results: All three cell lines showed partial reversion (MCF7 the greatest and Hs578T the least) of tumorigenic properties treated with a single beta1 integrin, MAPK, or PI3K inhibitor. Combined inhibition of beta1 integrin and either PI3K or MAPK resulted in nearly complete phenotypic reversion (MDA-MB-231, MCF7) or in cell death (Hs578T). E-cadherin-transfected MDA-MB-231 cells showed partial reversion, but exposure of the transfectants to an inhibitor of beta1 integrin, PI3K, or MAPK led to nearly complete reversion.Conclusion: The 3D rBM assay can be used to identify signaling pathways that, when manipulated in concert, can lead to the restoration of morphologically normal breast structures or to death of the tumor cells, even highly metastatic cells. This approach may be useful to design therapeutic intervention strategies for aggressive breast cancers.

The predominant flux of Hg° over both invasive cattail and native sawgrass stands was emission; mean day time fluxes over cattail ranged from ∼20 (winter) to ∼40 (summer) ng m−2 h−1. Sawgrass fluxes were about half those over cattail during comparable periods. Emission from vegetation significantly exceeded evasion of Hg° from the underlying water surface (∼1–2 ng m−2 h−1) measured simultaneously using floating chambers. Among several environmental factors (e.g. CO2 flux, water vapor flux, wind speed, water, air and leaf temperature, and solar radiation), water vapor exhibited the strongest correlation with Hg° flux, and transpiration is suggested as an appropriate term to describe this phenomenon. The lack of significant Hg° emissions from a live, but uprooted (floating) cattail stand suggests that a likely source of the transpired Hg° is the underlying sediments. The pattern of Hg° fluxes typically measured indicated a diel cycle with two peaks, possibly related to different gas exchange dynamics: one in early morning related to lacunal gas release, and a second at midday related to transpiration; nighttime fluxes approached zero.

A nodal formulation of the problem writes the governing equations in terms of the unknown pressures at the points where the flow paths connect. This paper proves conditions under which the nodal equations yield symmetric positive-definite matrices, guaranteeing a unique solution to the flow network. It also establishes relaxed conditions under which a nodal airflow system yields asymmetric matrices with positive eigenvalues, guaranteeing at least one solution.Properly exploiting the system properties greatly reduces the cost of numerical solution. Thus, multizone airflow programs such as CONTAM and COMIS depend on symmetric positive-definite systems. However, the background literature neglects or simplifies the underlying assumptions, does not assert existence and uniqueness, and even contains factual errors. This paper corrects those errors, states the implicit assumptions made in the programs, and discusses implications for modelers and programmers.

JO - Climate Dynamics JF - Climate Dynamics Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 20 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 44 SN - 09307575 AB - Assessments of the impacts of climate change typically require information at scales of 10 km or less. Such a resolution in global climate simulations is unlikely for at least two decades. We have developed an alternative to explicit resolution that provides a framework for meeting the needs of climate change impact assessment much sooner. We have applied to a global climate model a physically based subgrid-scale treatment of the influence of orography on temperature, clouds, precipitation, and land surface hydrology. The treatment represents subgrid variations in surface elevation in terms of fractional area distributions of discrete elevation classes. For each class it calculates the height rise/descent of air parcels traveling through the grid cell, and applies the influence of the rise/descent to the temperature and humidity profiles of the elevation class. Cloud, radiative, and surface processes are calculated separately for each elevation class using the same physical parametrizations used by the model without the subgrid orography parametrization. The simulated climate fields for each elevation class can then be distributed in post-processing according to the spatial distribution of surface elevation within each grid cell. Parallel 10-year simulations with and without the subgrid treatment have been performed. The simulated temperature, precipitation and snow water are mapped to 2.5-minute (∼5 km) resolution and compared with gridded analyses of station measurements. The simulation with the subgrid scheme produces a much more realistic distribution of snow water and significantly more realistic distributions of temperature and precipitation than the simulation without the subgrid scheme. Moreover, the 250-km grid cell means of most other fields are virtually unchanged by the subgrid scheme. This suggests that the tuning of the climate model without the subgrid scheme is also applicable to the model with the scheme.

The latter has been identified as the enzyme tissue transglutaminase which belongs to a family of enzymes that catalyze protein cross-linking reactions and is constitutively expressed in many tissues as well as being activated during apoptosis. In a recent paper, we described the selection and characterization of anti-transglutaminase Igs from phage antibody libraries created from intestinal lymphocytes from celiac disease patients. In this work, using transglutaminase gene fragments, we identify a region of tissue transglutaminase recognized by these antibodies as being conformational and located in the core domain of the enzyme. This is identical to the region recognized by anti-transglutaminase Igs found in the serum of celiac disease patients.

These metals are known to cause cancer or other adverse health conditions in humans, and the extent and cost of remediating MGP sites may be influenced by the presence of these metals. Studies assessed the distribution of these metals in female B6C3F1 mice ingesting (1) a metal mixture in water or (2) an MGP mixture in NIH-31 feed. The highest metal levels were measured in the small intestine and kidneys of mice receiving the metal mixture in water. For mice receiving the metal mixture in water, levels of As, Cd, and Cr, in the small intestine, levels of As, Cd, Cr, and V in the kidneys, levels of As and Cd in the pancreas, and levels of Cr and V in the femur were significantly greater than controls at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 wk. Except for Ni levels in the small intestine and femur and Cr levels in the kidneys, levels of metals were much lower in mice administered the MGP mixture in feed. The highest concentrations of metals in mice ingesting the MGP mixture in feed were found in the small intestine and kidneys, but few were significantly greater than controls. Levels of As in the small intestine at 6 and 18 wk and levels of Cr in the kidneys at 12, 18, and 24 wk were significantly greater than in controls. The data suggest that tissue burdens in small intestine, kidneys, pancreas, and femur of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and vanadium are less when metals are present as an MGP mixture in feed than as a mixture in water. The reduced distribution and accumulation of metals in the organs of mice ingesting the MGP mixture in feed compared to the levels in organs of mice ingesting the metal mixture in water suggests that metals may be less likely to accumulate in humans ingesting MGP mixtures, thereby presenting a lower overall human health risk. The data presented indicate that the matrix in which metals are present will affect the uptake of individual metals and the organ specificity.

T1 - Characterization of ultrafine and fine particles at a site near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 36 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 5795 SN - 13522310 AB - Continuous measurements were taken during a 22-day campaign held in the summer of 2000 at a site close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in eastern Tennessee. The campaign was conducted to investigate the relationships between ultrafine/fine particles and gaseous species observed. A varimax-rotation factor analysis was performed to explore the relationship of the fine and ultrafine particle number concentrations, the gaseous species concentration, the mean wind speed, and the solar radiation. A 6-factor model was found to best resolve 79.7% of the variability embedded in the data. The model suggests that 31.4% of the data variability could be explained by ultrafine particles (the diameters smaller than or equal to 100 nm). It was difficult to label this factor without chemistry information of the ultrafine particles. However, no gas species were loaded on Factor 1 indicating the ultrafine particles observed in this study were not associated with primary source emissions. The decoupling of the ultrafine particles from the fine particles also implies that the former ones might have been produced and transported to the site by separated mechanisms from those of fine particles. The second factor included the PM2.5 mass concentration and the number concentrations of particles in the diameter range of 101–400 nm. The loading pattern on Factor 2 led to the conclusion that this factor was contributed by regional transport. The third factor includes CO, NO2, reactive odd nitrogen (NOy), and SO2 that were contributed by primary source emissions. The mean wind speed and ozone were loaded in Factor 4 that was labeled as ozone transport. Identification of this factor led to an observation that ozone transport to the site was essentially decoupled from the regional transport factor of fine particles (i.e., Factor 2). Solar radiation was singly included in the fifth factor indicating this is a unique factor. The quality of NO data was marginal and the variable was distilled by the model into Factor 6. A multiple regression analysis further indicated that PM2.5 mass concentration was best explained by CO, O3, and number concentrations of particles in the diameter range between 0.1 and 0.4 μm. We also identified two unique events during the campaign in which the number concentrations of 31–51 nm particles dramatically increased by a factor of 10 in 30 min, reaching 40,000 cm−3 and lasting for a couple of hours. Particles in the size range just below and above those in the 31–51 nm diameter range also exhibited increases during these events, but the changes were much less dramatic.

The model obtains emission factors from the Biogenic Emission Inventory System (BEIS). This biogenic emissions model, combined with a dry deposition model, was applied with environmental variable values supplied by MM5 (the fifth-generation Mesoscale Model). The modeled temporal variations and spatial distributions of the surface emissions rates of isoprene, monoterpenes, and nitric oxide the eastern US agreed well with reported simulations, measurements, and inferences. Use of the satellite data generates considerable detail in the spatial patterns, high temporal resolution, and a smooth seasonal variation in the emission rates. The new biogenic emissions model was used with a photochemistry modeling system to infer ozone (O3) concentrations in the lower troposphere above the eastern United States for a two-day case in July 1995, which had O3 episodes studied previously by the Ozone Transport Assessment Group. Compared to the results from the OTAG application of BEIS2, the satellite-data-derived isoprene emissions were slightly lower in the northeastern United States, which resulted in smaller values of O3 concentration and were 3–4 times higher in southeastern mixed forests, which had little impact on O3 except near strong NOx emission sources.

In order for carbon credits to be meaningful, sustained carbon sequestration for decades or longer is required. It has been speculated that improved land management could result in sequestration of a substantial amount of carbon in soils within several decades and therefore can be an important option in reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, evaluation of soil carbon sources and sinks is difficult because the dynamics of soil carbon storage and release is complex and still not well understood. There has been rapid development of quantitative techniques over the past two decades for measuring the component fluxes of the global carbon cycle and for studying the soil carbon cycle. Most significant development in the soil carbon cycle study is the application of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) in radiocarbon measurements. This has made it possible to unravel rates of carbon cycling in soils, by studying natural levels of radiocarbon in soil organic matter and soil CO2. Despite the advances in the study of the soil carbon cycle in the recent decades, tremendous uncertainties exist in the sizes and turnover times of soil carbon pools. The uncertainties result from lack of standard methods and incomplete understanding of soil organic carbon dynamics, compounded by natural variability in soil carbon and carbon isotopic content even within the same ecosystem. Many fundamental questions concerning the dynamics of the soil carbon cycle have yet to be answered. This paper reviews and synthesizes the isotopic approaches to the study of the soil carbon cycle. We will focus on uncertainties and limitations associated with these approaches and point out areas where more research is needed to improve our understanding of this important component of the global carbon cycle.

We examine the distribution of methane and other hydrocarbons within the Valley of Mexico, using it as a model for the role developing megacities will play in the next century of geochemical cycling. Seventy-five whole air samples were analyzed with multivariate statistical techniques, including factor analysis using principal components. Methane concentrations are highly variable in space and time, due to air circulations and source distribution. Landfills and open sewage canals are major inputs. Emissions into and out from the valley are modeled to be ∼515 t per day. Per capita emission is 0.01 t per annum per person, consistent with the global average for human related anaerobic generation. Natural gas leaks are small, and likely to be higher in other developing megacities; Mexican natural gas use has been discouraged out of earthquake safety concerns. In contrast, liquefied petroleum gas loss constitutes the major emission of propane and butane estimated at a leak rate of 5–10%. Kyoto and other environmental conventions have ignored methane as a greenhouse gas. Our analysis underscores the need to consider methane and other hydrocarbons, and the urbanization process, in future emission protocols.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 21 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2631 EP - 2639 SN - 07307268 AB - Aquifer microcosms were used to determine how ethanol and Aquifer microcosms (MtBE) affect monoaromatic hydrocarbon degradation under different electron-accepting conditions commonly found in contaminated sites experiencing natural attenuation. Response variability was investigated by using aquifer material from four sites with different exposure history. The lag phase prior to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and ethanol degradation was typically shorter in microcosms with previously contaminated aquifer material, although previous exposure did not always result in high degradation activity. Toluene was degraded in all aquifer materials and generally under a broader range of electron-accepting conditions compared to benzene, which was degraded only under aerobic conditions. The MtBE was not degraded within 100 d under any condition, and it did not affect BTEX or ethanol degradation patterns. Ethanol was often degraded before BTEX compounds and had a variable effect on BTEX degradation as a function of electron-accepting conditions and aquifer material source. An occasional enhancement of toluene degradation by ethanol occurred in denitrifying microcosms with unlimited nitrate; this may be attributable to the fortuitous growth of toluene-degrading bacteria during ethanol degradation. Nevertheless, experiments with flow-through aquifer columns showed that this beneficial effect could be eclipsed by an ethanol-driven depletion of electron acceptors, which significantly inhibited BTEX degradation and is probably the most important mechanism by which ethanol could hinder BTEX natural attenuation. A decrease in natural attenuation could increase the likelihood that BTEX compounds reach a receptor as well as the potential duration of exposure.

Screening tests were performed to evaluate different fibre types with the objective of identifying systems offering the greatest improvement in cement tensile strength. The fibres investigated included steel, stainless steel, carbon, basalt and glass. The baseline cement matrix was standard Class G cement/40% silica flour and variations on this were latex-modification and lightweight formulations incorporating either perlite or microspheres. The fibres that showed the best performance at low volume fraction were 13 mm brass-coated round steel fibres. Steel and carbon microfibres also improved the tensile strength provided the volume fraction was high enough. Thermal and hydraulic properties of cements reinforced with steel fibres were measured and compared with unreinforced mixes. Based on the results, selected fibre types will be used in further property characterization studies and engineering analysis of geothermal wells completed with fibre-reinforced materials.

T1 - Structural analysis of geothermal well cements JO - Geothermics JF - Geothermics Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 31 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 657 SN - 03756505 AB - Current design procedures are deficient when it comes to the cement/sealant used in geothermal well cementing jobs. The structural performance of the cement is based on the requirement that the cement must have a certain compressive strength. By calculating the response of the cement due to pressure/temperature (P/T) loads, the relevant stress fields are found to be sensitive to a variety of parameters in such a way that they cannot be enveloped solely by the compressive strength of the material. A similar concern also exists in the oil and gas industry. This paper presents a variety of modeling approaches that can be used to perform the necessary structural analysis from which the stress field in the cement can be evaluated. It is recommended that the design of the cement be based on the results from such structural analysis rather than on the basis of the limited requirement for compressive strength. The paper also presents parametric variations of the radial and tangential stresses in the cement that were obtained through coupled analyses of casing-cement-formation models. It is shown that the state of stress in the cement is very sensitive to (a) far-field stress and (b) the relative stiffness between the cement and the formation.

The very low energy X-rays used in screening mammography (26-30 kVp) are expected to be more hazardous, per unit dose, than high-energy X- or γ-rays, such as those to which A-bomb survivors (from which radiation risk estimates are derived) were exposed. Based on in vitro studies using oncogenic transformation and chromosome aberration end-points, as well as theoretical estimates, it seems likely that low doses of low-energy X-rays produce an increased risk per unit dose (compared with high energy photons) of about a factor of 2. Because of the low doses involved in screening mammography, the benefit-risk ratio for older women would still be expected to be large, though for younger women the increase in the estimated radiation risk suggests a somewhat later age than currently recommended—by about 5-10 years—at which to commence routine breast screening.

JO - Studies in Conservation JF - Studies in Conservation Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 47 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 250 EP - 256 SN - 00393630 AB - This study investigates a common pigment degradation process, the darkening of lead white by its conversion to lead sulphide (PbS), that is often assumed to have taken place before restoration treatments are applied. For the first time, Raman spectra similar to those obtained from mineral galena (PbS) have been acquired directly from the surface of a manuscript illumination suffering from lead white discoloration. These data, which were collected using a new generation, highly sensitive Raman microscope, indicate that previously published Raman spectra of PbS on historical materials were the result of laser-induced degradation of that material during the analysis. This new instrumentation can be used routinely for the situ, non-destructive identification of lead white degradation products prior to restoration treatments and provides a means of studying the effects of conservation treatments on artists' materials. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Este estudio trata el proceso de degradación de un pigmento común: el oscurecimiento del blanco de plomo a sulfuro de plomo (PbS), del que se asume habitualmente que tiene lugar antes de que sea aplicado tratamiento de restauración alguno. Por primera vez espectros Raman similares a los que se obtienen para el mineral galena (PbS) han sido obtenidos directamente de la superficie de un manuscrito iluminado que sufría la mencionada típica decoloración del blanco de plomo. Estos datos, que fueron tomados usando un microscopio de nueva generación Raman de alta sensibilidad, indican que los espectros Raman previamente publicados de PbS analizando materiales históricos eran el resultado de la degradación en ese material inducida por láser durante los análisis. Esta nueva generación puede ser usada de manera rutinaria in situ, obteniéndose una identificación no destructiva de los productos de degradación del blanco de plomo anteriores a los procesos de restauración; nos aporta además medios de estudio de los efectos de los tratamientos de conservación en los materiales para artistas.

Pour la première fois, on a pu acquérir directement à partir de la surface d'un manuscrit enluminé sujet au noircissement du blanc de plomb un spectre Raman identique à celui du minerai de galène (PbS). Ces données, obtenues grâce à une nouvelle génération de microscopes Raman à haute sensibilité, ont montré que les spectres Raman de PbS de matériaux historiques publiés antérieurement résultaient d'une dégradation du matériau induite par le laser au cours de l'analyse. La nouvelle instrumentation peut âtre utilisée de façon courante pour l'identification non destructive et in situ des produits de dégradation du blanc de plomb avant un traitement de restauration; elle fournit un moyen d'étude des effets des traitements de restauration sur les matériaux artistiques. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - In dieser Studie wird die Umwandlung von Bleiweiß in dunkles Bleisulfid untersucht, von der angenommen wird, daß sie häufig vor einer Restaurierungsmaßnahme stattfindet. Erstmals konnten Ramanspektren, die mit denen von mineralischem Galenit (PbS) übereinstimmen, direkt auf der Oberfläche einer Bleiweißverschwärzungen aufweisenden Buchmalerei erhalten werden. Die Spektren konnten mit Hilfe eines einer neuen Generation angehörenden, hochempfindlichen Raman-Mikroskops aufgenommen werden. Die Daten legenden Schluß nahe, daß die bisher auf historischem Material erhaltenen Ramanspektren von PbS ein Produkt des laserinduzierten Abbaus des Materials während der Analyse waren. Das neue Instrumentarium kann zur Zerstörungsfreien in situ Identifizierung der Abbauprodukte von Bleiweiß genutzt werden, wie sie vor einer Restaurierung vorliegen. Es erlaubt daher Aussagen über die Effekte von Konservierungsmaßnahmen an Künstlermaterialien.

Ancient humans preserved their knowledge by engraving bones and stone. About two millennia ago people invented paper to publish their thoughts. Today, we use magnetic media and silicon chips to store our data. "Nature" magazine reported a study resembling the first part of the effort encoding meaningful information as DNA sequences. It described an experiment in which a group of scientists at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York created an encoded DNA strand and hid it behind a period (a dot) in a printed document. The document was then sealed and mailed to its owners through the U.S. Postal Service. Eventually, the embedded message was successfully recovered in a laboratory environment. With a careful coding scheme and arrangement, important information can be encoded, such as an artificial DNA strand, and safely and permanently stored in a living host. in the short run, this technology can be used to identify origins and protect R&D investment in, say, agricultural products and endangered species.

They rarely do retrospectives, even though looking back at past work can both illuminate the reasons for its success or failure, and improve the methodologies of current and future forecasts. One of the best and most famous retrospectives is that by Hans Landsberg, which investigates work conducted by Landsberg, Sam Schurr, and others. In this article, written mainly for model users, we highlight Landsberg s retrospective as a uniquely valuable contribution to improving forecasting methodologies. We also encourage model users to support such retrospectives more frequently. Finally, we give the current generation of analysts the kind of guidance we believe Landsberg and Sam Schurr would have offered about how to do retrospectives well.

One finds that although there are many guiding principles relevant to energy sustainability and there have been numerous energy-related laws and policies enacted both prior to and after the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, growth in fossil fuel based energy use as well as in energy-related greenhouse gas emissions was more rapid-and thus less sustainable-in the eight years after 1992 than in the two decades prior to Rio.

Total N, P, and K concentrations of the composted litter depended on chemical properties of the initial material. On the other hand, ON ratio, humic and fulvic add and cation-exchange capacity were influenced by differences in composition of the initial spent litter and composting strategy. If moisture content was maintained weekly at 60% with a four-day turning frequency, the litter reached maturity in 56 days. Maturation of spent litter was accompanied by a decline in total C, water-extractable metals, NH4+-N, increase in ash, (NO3-+NO2-)-N, humic acid, humic acid fulvic add ratio, and cation exchange capacity, and elimination of phytotoxidty. The stability of nutrient and organic matter, acceptable pH and electrical conductivity values, and low levels of undesirable components such as heavy metals and phytotoxic compounds of the spent litter provided substantial evidence that agronomically suitable compost can be obtained after composting in windrows.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2003/01// VL - 9 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 117 EP - 123 SN - 13541013 AB - Abstract Litter decomposition is a major component of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems and is known to be sensitive to both temperature and moisture. A drought during periods of the year when moisture is normally abundant may impact decomposition more than moisture limitation during seasons that are routinely dry. We excluded precipitation for a 3-month period during each of four seasons and measured mass loss and nitrogen (N) dynamics in Acer rubrum leaf litter by using a litterbag approach. We hypothesized that rainfall exclusion would retard mass loss during the exclusion period, with the maximum effect occurring during the spring and summer months when moisture was normally adequate and temperatures optimum for decomposition, and that exclusion during these two periods would have the greatest impact on subsequent timing of decomposition events, particularly N mineralization. Mass loss in litterbags was initially reduced by precipitation exclusion in the spring treatment only. For each season, a set of bags exposed to drying in the same way and allowed to remain in the field under ambient conditions for an additional 9 months no longer showed a difference in mass loss relative to control bags. Nitrogen accumulation was immediately and significantly reduced in the exclusion treatments in all seasons; however, like mass loss, there was no difference 9 months later. We conclude that short-term effects of drought do occur, especially with regard to N accumulation, and that these effects do not persist and are unlikely to have any substantial effect on nutrient cycling.

Most models commonly used by the chemical industry assume that there is thermal- and mechanical-equilibrium between the liquid- and the vapor-phase (homogeneous equilibrium models, HEM). While this assumption is valid for releases though long pipes and nozzles, we found that it overestimates the total amount released during rapid discharges through large breaks in a vessel when there is insufficient time for the mixture to become homogeneous. We derived an analytical non-homogeneous, thermal equilibrium model that accurately determines the void fraction of the mixture at the time of the release, and the quantity of a release from a pressurized container. Our model is based on equations describing the transfer of interfacial momentum between the liquid- and the vapor- phases that develop during the quick depressurization of a vessel. The model’s predictions are verified by comparing them with actual measurements of the void fraction, and with the results of the RELAP5 model. Also, our model is used to determine emissions of nitrogen oxides and nitric acid in an actual rupture of a railcar tank. The results agreed with actual observations, whereas a homogeneous equilibrium model gave erroneous predictions.

It deals with the materials utilized in skiing. Key topics discussed include: the effect of technology on the ski industry; contributions from materials and manufacturing; the development of competitive and recreational skiing; and future developments. It is interesting observe that there is a similarity in the choice of materials for skis, golf clubs, tennis rackets, and bicycles. The common factor is the criterion for the athlete to remain in balance and control in a situation involving dynamic motion and impact.

A recent study of human gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) with mutations in the KIT gene, Cancer Res. 61 (2001) 8624 exemplifies a common type of investigation. cDNA microarrays were used to generate measurements for 1987 clones in two types of tissues: 13 KIT mutation-positive GISTs and 6 spindle cell tumours from locations outside the gastrointestinal tract. Statistical problems associated with such two-class, high-dimensional profiling data include simultaneous classification and relevant feature identification, probabilistic clustering and protein sequence family modelling. Here, the GIST data were reexamined using specific solutions to these problems, namely sparse hyperplanes, naı¨ve Bayes models and profile hidden Markov models respectively. The integrated analysis of molecular profiling and sequence data highlighted 6 clones that may be of clinical and experimental interest. The protein encoded by one of these putative biomarkers defined a novel protein family present in diverse eucarya. The family may be involved in chromosome segregation and/or stability. One family member is a potential biomarker identified recently from a retrospective analysis of transcript profiles for sporadic breast cancer samples from patients with poor and good prognosis, Signal Process.

During casting, the line forms a nonlinear propagating wave that is frequently referred to as a 'loop' by fly casters. The geometry of the loop is described by three distinct parts: a straight bottom segment (attached to a stationary fly rod), a semi-circular segment that is propagating (i.e. the loop), and a straight top segment that is also propagating, (i.e. the traveling line). A fly (particle) is attached at the end of the traveling line. A work-energy balance yields the velocity of the fly as a function of the length of the traveling line. For a uniform fly line (level line), a closed-form solution is found, while for a tapered fly line, the solution is obtained by quadrature. A critical loop diameter arises in the analysis, and it deter- mines whether the final velocity of the fly is greater or lesser than the initial velocity of the traveling line. The analytical solutions are critically compared against numerical solutions of a general model for fly line dynamics that relaxes many of the assumptions employed in the analytical model. The agreement between the two solutions remains close during the loop propagation phase, provided a significant amount of fly line remains in the traveling line. However, as the traveling line vanishes and the loop `turns over', the two solutions diverge abruptly due to the many simplifying assumptions employed in the analytical model.

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied for the first time to both modern and 150-year-old daguerreotypes. In addition to surface and depth profiling, the analysis of colors on “tinted” samples allowed identification of the pigment. These results complement the previous analysis by laser ionization mass spectrometry of the surface composition of clean and tarnished examples of the old photographs. Laser ablation cleaning of the submicrometer tarnish layers has now been clearly demonstrated on numerous daguerreotypes with various extents and types of tarnish. The use of computer controlled XY translation and stable laser beam quality have allowed decisive proof-of-principle examples of laser restoration. The best parameters of laser wavelength, power and pulse duration have been determined. Using digital files of daguerreotype images, straightforward models have been developed that allow for the digital mapping of the surface tarnish. In principle, such maps could guide the computer control of the laser cleaning process.

We investigate this interaction by inserting macro–micronutrient cycling into a high resolution ocean model that realistically represents the general circulation. Simulated chlorophyll distributions reproduce many features of satellite-based measurements of ocean color. Meridional sections through model results and seasonally averaged SeaWiFS data agree reasonably well, both in the oligotrophic gyres and along fronts. Discrepancies are associated in many cases with shelf, ridge or island effects. Dimethyl sulfide peaks and their chlorophyll correlations are similar to those obtained on major oceanographic expeditions. Lack of strong regional relationships between the sulfide and phytoplankton may be partly explained by correspondence between time constants for production and for the traversal of mesoscale transport features. In general the eddies and filaments of tropical instability waves are well represented, including the onset of the 1997–1998 El Nin˜o. North–south shifts of the transition zone chlorophyll front appear prominently in the results.

The I domain Mg2+ directly coordinates Glu-34 of ICAM-1, and a dramatic swing of I domain residue Glu-241 enables a critical salt bridge. Liganded and unliganded structures for both high- and intermediate-affinity mutant I domains reveal that ligand binding can induce conformational change in the αL I domain and that allosteric signals can convert the closed conformation to intermediate or open conformations without ligand binding. Pulling down on the C-terminal α7 helix with introduced disulfide bonds ratchets the β6-α7 loop into three different positions in the closed, intermediate, and open conformations, with a progressive increase in affinity.

These fractions were systematically characterized by fluorescence emission, three dimensional excitation-emission matrices, and synchronous-scan excitation spectroscopy in comparison with those of the reference International Humic Substances Society soil humic acid and Suwannee River fulvic acid. Results indicate that fluorescence spectroscopy can be useful to qualitatively differentiate not only NOM compounds from varying origins but also NOM subcomponents with varying compositions and functional properties. The polyphenolic-rich NOM-PP fraction exhibited a much more intense fluorescence and a red shift of peak position in comparison with the carbohydrate-rich NOM-CH fraction. Results also indicate that synchronous excitation spectra were able to provide improved peak resolution and structural signatures such as peak positioning, shift, and intensity among various NOM components as compared with those of the emission and excitation spectra. In particular, the synchronous spectral peak intensity and its red shift in the region of about 450–480 nm may be used to indicate the presence or absence of high molecular weight and polycondensed humic organic components, or the multicomponent nature of NOM or NOM subcomponents.

Patching a vulnerability discovered in a default system binary, such as the highly publicized sendmail debug vulnerability (this vulnerability has been discussed extensively in the literature and was even exploited in the infamous Internet Worm ), is relatively easy. The vendor often simply issues a new version of the binary to replace the vulnerable one. The interface for all applications that invoke this binary remains the same. However, with componentized code, such as in modern object-oriented systems, things do not work quite as smoothly. For example, how should vulnerabilities be patched if an object is vulnerable to attack only if it is used in a certain context, or if only one function out of many is vulnerable? Patching the vulnerability is simple if a function can be replaced. If the vulnerability is contextual and the function has legitimate uses in other areas, however, replacing the function altogether may be inappropriate. What kinds of alternative remedies are appropriate? This paper presents several different approaches to dealing with this difficult problem, and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each. Of all the solutions considered, removing code altogether and adding warnings at run time are the least viable. Allowing code to run only if the execution context is correct, permitting only certain callers to execute code, barring certain callers from executing code, and using access control lists to govern access to objects and methods are more reasonable approaches, although each also has limitations.

Since neuroleptics have been extensively reviewed elsewhere, only the major findings are discussed here. Other binding sites (and drug classes) in the dopamine system to which this methodology has been applied include: the dopamine transporter (stimulant drugs) and monoamine oxidase A and B (antidepressant drugs). Occupancy studies are also possible for many drug targets beyond the dopamine system.

The administration of gamma-vinyl gamma aminobutyric acid (GVG, vigabatrin), acting through potentiation of GABAergic tone, leads to decreases in brain extracellular clopamine concentrations as measured with PET and in vivo microdialysis was demonsrated. This knowledge, combined with the notion that addictive drugs share the ability to stimulate cloparninergic neurotransmission, suggests a novel GABAergic strategy for the treatment of substance abuse. Over the past several years PET and in vivo microdialysis, combined with an array of behavioral tests, have demonstrated the potential utility of this approach. Taken together, these data support the use of vigabatrin for the treatment of multiple drug addictions.

There is also a growing international consensus that the most cost-effective way to slow global warming is to establish international climate change trading programs that let institutions sell greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in an international trading program. A well designed international GHG trading program could save billions or tens of billions of dollars and could result in a more rapid transfer of cleaner, more modern energy generating, transmitting and using technologies to developing nations. Establishing an international GHG trading program will require the development of international consensus rules on how to value and credit investments, for example in energy efficiency, that result in reduced emissions of greenhouse gases. Such a program would require the development of an international technical agreement on how to value emissions reductions attributed to energy-efficiency investments that reflect realistic estimates of future energy savings—and emissions reductions—that come from those investments. This paper examines five possible approaches for valuing energy savings which might serve as the basis for an international agreement, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, and discusses lessons learned from conducting this evaluation process.

The fields of energy management and risk management are thus intertwined. While many technical methods have emerged to manage performance risks (e.g. building diagnostics and commissioning), financial methods are less developed in the energy management arena than in other segments of the economy. Energy-savings insurance (ESI)—formal insurance of predicted energy savings—transfers and spreads both types of risk over a larger pool of energy efficiency projects and reduces barriers to market entry of smaller energy service firms who lack sufficiently strong balance sheets to self-insure the savings. ESI encourages those implementing energy-saving projects to go beyond standard measures and thereby achieve more significant levels of energy savings. Insurance providers are proponents of improved savings measurement and verification techniques, as well as maintenance, thereby contributing to national energy-saving objectives. If properly applied, ESI can potentially reduce the net cost of energy-saving projects by reducing the interest rates charged by lenders, and by increasing the level of savings through quality control. Governmental agencies have been pioneers in the use of ESI and could continue to play a role.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 31 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 0292 EP - 0300 SN - 0364152X AB - In addition to national inventories of emissions of greenhouse gases, there are inventories for most, but not all, states constituting the United States. This paper analyzes the state inventories to see if reported emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are additive. Considerable reanalysis of the state inventories is required before they can be added to yield a larger-scale inventory. Some specific sources were considered by some states but not by others. Estimation techniques evolved over time as inventories were produced, and there are instances of both double-counting (two states reporting the same emission) and omission (neither state reporting the same emission), where interstate transfers of energy or materials occurred. Nevertheless, the inventories, when adjusted for obvious double-counting or omissions, are probably approximately additive, although it is difficult to quantify the extent to which this is true.

However, the kinetics of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), an enzyme used as a surrogate of liver damage, have not been closely monitored, and it is not known if they correlate with those of HCV RNA. Here we describe the associations between ALT and HCV dynamics. We analyzed 35 patients treated daily with 10 mIU IFN-alpha2b with or without ribavarin for 28 days followed by standard IFN/ribavirin therapy. Patients exhibited 4 patterns of ALT change: (1) exponential decay of ALT, (2) transient increase in ALT followed by a decrease to pretreatment or normal levels, (3) increase in ALT to a new level, and (4) no significant change. By simultaneously modeling HCV and ALT dynamics, we successfully fit the observed changes. We found ALT decays with t1/2 = 12.7 hours. The transient increase in ALT observed in some patients suggested a mild hepatotoxic effect of IFN. However, patients with a smaller initial ALT increase achieved higher rates of viral negativity by week 72 (P = .02). The week-4 ALT decline correlated with the HCV log drop (P = .006) and the efficacy of therapy (P = .025). In conclusion, our results suggest the use of ALT as a surrogate marker for treatment effect in patients with elevated ALT.

These include hydrodynamics, radiation transport, magnetohydrodynamics, diffusion, and collisional kinetic plasmas. At the beginning of each time step in QDSMC, the weights and abscissas of Gaussian-Hermite quadrature are used to deterministically create particles to sample the random process. At the end of the time step, particles are gathered to the computational mesh to obtain updated distributions of conserved quantities on the mesh and then the particles are destroyed. The creation and destruction of particles allows arbitrary dynamical range to be accessed quiescently with only a small number of particles per computational cell. The application of QDSMC to the simulation of Coulomb collisions is considered in this report, and the method is demonstrated on problems involving the collisional relaxation of non-Maxwellian distributions.

The plasma has been heated by up to 7 MW of neutral beam injection (NBI) at an injection energy of 100 keV and up to 6 MW of high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) at 30 MHz. NSTX has achieved βT of 32%. A variety of MHD phenomena have been observed to limit β. NSTX has now begun addressing TE scaling, β limits, and current drive issues. During the NBI heating experiments, a broad Ti profile with Ti up to 2 keV, Ti > Te and a large toroidal rotation were observed. Transport analysis suggests that the impurity ions have diffusivities approaching neoclassical. For L-Mode plasmas, TE is up to two times the ITER97L L-Mode scaling and exceeds the ITER98pby2 H-Mode scaling in some cases. Transitions to H-Mode have been observed which result in an approximate doubling of TE after the transition in some conditions. During HHFW heating, Te > Ti and Te up to 3.5 keV were observed. Current drive has been studied using both coaxial helicity injection with up to 390 kA of toroidal current and HHFW. HHFW has produced H-modes with significant bootstrap current fraction at low Ip, high q, and high βp.

Obesity can be defined as a complex disease of appetite regulation and energy metabolism. It is controlled by genetics, psychology, diet and other factors. Genetically, dopamine plays a role in this feeding behavior. PET studies show that obese individuals have significantly lower dopamine D2 receptor levels, similar to findings in PET studies in addicts of substance of abuse.

This process is notoriously difficult to model, given the complexity of the turbulent boundary layer and chemistry of the three-phase interface (air, liquid, solid) typically found at the land surface. Wind tunnel studies have demonstrated the importance of resuspension within a short time after deposition, but there exists no robust model for short-term resuspension. Numerical simulations of accidental or terrorist releases of hazardous materials need such a model to accurately predict fate and transport of the materials within hours to days after release. Many accepted conventional models were derived from resuspension data for aged sources, such as former weapons test sites; these data sets, and the associated models, may not be appropriate for short-time resuspension. The study described here reexamined historical wind tunnel data on short-term resuspension, with the goal of developing a model appropriate for numerical simulations. Empirical models are derived from these data using a suite of parameters (friction velocity, particle diameter, surface roughness, particle density, and time). These empirical models, and the wind tunnel data, are compared quantitatively with existing conventional models from the literature. The conventional models underpredict short-time resuspension, resulting in order-of-magnitude errors in predictions of resuspended mass. Only three models perform reasonably well: the empirical models derived from the data and an adaptation of the NCRP 129 model. More data are needed to validate the empirical models and build the physical understanding of the processes involved.

We identify specific priorities for scientific research on the responses of ecological and socioeconomic systems to climate and other stresses; for improvement in the climatic inputs to impact assessments; and for further development of assessment methods to improve their practical utility to decision-makers. Finally, we propose a new institutional model for assessment, based principally on regional efforts that integrate observations, research, data, applications, and assessment on climate and linked environmental-change issues. The proposed program will require effective collaboration between scientists, resource managers, and other stakeholders, all of whose expertise is needed to define and prioritize key regional issues, characterize relevant uncertainties, and assess potential responses. While both scientifically and organizationally challenging, such an integrated program holds the best promise of advancing our capacity to manage resources and the economy adaptively under a changing climate.

We examined historical shifts in the location of crops and trends in the variability of U.S. average crop yields, finding that non-climatic forces have likely dominated the north and westward movement of crops and the trends in yield variability. For the simulated future climates we considered impacts on crops, grazing and pasture, livestock, pesticide use, irrigation water supply and demand, and the sensitivity to international trade assumptions, finding that the aggregate of these effects were positive for the U.S. consumer but negative, due to declining crop prices, for producers. We examined the effects of potential changes in El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and impacts on yield variability of changes in mean climate conditions. Increased losses occurred with ENSO intensity and frequency increases that could not be completely offset even if the events could be perfectly forecasted. Effects on yield variability of changes in mean temperatures were mixed. We also considered case study interactions of climate, agriculture, and the environment focusing on climate effects on nutrient loading to the Chesapeake Bay and groundwater depletion of the Edward's Aquifer that provides water for municipalities and agriculture to the San Antonio, Texas area. While only case studies, these results suggest environmental targets such as pumping limits and changes in farm practices to limit nutrient run-off would need to be tightened if current environmental goals were to be achieved under the climate scenarios we examined [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Climatic Change is the property of Springer Science & Business Media B.V. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Liquidity and stock returns in emerging equity markets JO - Emerging Markets Review JF - Emerging Markets Review Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 4 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 15660141 AB - Using data for 27 emerging equity markets for the period January 1992 through December 1999, we document the behavior of liquidity in emerging markets. We find that stock returns in emerging countries are positively correlated with aggregate market liquidity as measured by turnover ratio, trading value and the turnover–volatility multiple. The results hold in both cross-sectional and time-series analyses, and are quite robust even after we control for world market beta, market capitalization and price-to-book ratio. The positive correlation between stock returns and market liquidity in a time-series analysis is consistent with the findings in developed markets. However, the positive correlation in a cross-sectional analysis appears to be at odds with market microstructure theory that has been empirically supported by studies on developed markets. Our findings regarding the cross-sectional relation between stock returns and liquidity is consistent with the view that emerging equity markets have a lower degree of integration with the global economy.

AB - OBJECTIVE: Eating behavior in humans is influenced by variables other than just hunger-satiety including cognitive restraint, emotional distress, and sensitivity to food stimuli. We investigate the role of dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter involved with food motivation, in these variables. METHODS: We used the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) to measure Restraint, Emotionality, and Externality in 10 subjects. We correlated DEBQ scores with brain DA levels. Positron emission tomography and [(11)C]raclopride uptake were used to measure baseline D(2) receptors (neutral stimulation) and to assess changes in extracellular DA to food stimulation (display of food). RESULTS: Restraint was correlated with DA changes with food stimulation (higher restraint, greater responsivity), emotionality was negatively correlated with baseline D(2) receptors (higher emotionality, lower D(2) receptors), whereas externality was not. These correlations were significant in the dorsal but not in the ventral striatum. DISCUSSION: These results provide evidence that DA in the dorsal striatum is involved with the restraint and emotionality components regulating eating behavior and that these two dimensions reflect different neurobiologic processes.

It is desirable to use jet pumps to suppress streaming because they do not introduce moving parts such as bellows or membranes. In most cases, this form of streaming suppression works reliably. However, in some cases, the streaming suppression has been found to be unstable. Using a simple model of the acoustics in the regenerators and jet pumps of these devices, a stability criterion is derived that predicts when jet pumps can reliably suppress streaming. © 2003 Acoustical Society of America.

To follow the linear elastic behavior, both compressional and shear waves are used in wide band pulse echo mode. Through the value of the complex reflection coefficient between the cell material (Lucite) and the concrete within the cell, the elastic moduli are calculated. Simultaneously, the transmission of a continuous compressional sine wave at progressively increasing drive levels permits us to calculate the nonlinear properties by extracting the harmonics amplitudes of the signal. Information regarding the chemical evolution of the concrete based upon the reaction of hydration of cement is obtained by monitoring the temperature inside the sample. These different types of measurements are linked together to interpret the critical behavior. © 2003 Acoustical Society of America.

Crystallographic analyses of Ras bound to the catalytic module of SOS have led to the unexpected discovery of a highly conserved Ras binding site on SOS that is located distal to the active site and is specific for Ras·GTP. The crystal structures suggest that Ras·GTP stabilizes the active site of SOS allosterically, and we show that Ras·GTP forms ternary complexes with SOScat in solution and increases significantly the rate of SOScat-stimulated nucleotide release from Ras. These results demonstrate the existence of a positive feedback mechanism for the spatial and temporal regulation of Ras.

The study performs design activities related to meeting future product requirements while concurrently meeting existing production schedules for the current design of the product. Current approaches to managing the firm's limited productive capacity do not allow for both design and production activities to occur simultaneously while meeting the customer's current product delivery schedule. Thus, despite their desire to satisfy their customer's future design requirements, management uses the majority of its production capacity to meet its customer's current product delivery schedule. This case study demonstrates how a team of employees used thinking process logic diagrams to document reality, identify a core conflict and problem, develop proposed changes to address the core problem, and create several detailed action plans to implement changes within the study organization. Initially, scenarios associated with some undesirable effects are used to understand how prevailing policies and behaviours result in less than desired production line performance. Then, a current reality tree is constructed to link the core problem or system constraint with the previously identified undesirable effects. Next, two major injections are developed to address the core problem in managing the production line as logically documented in a future reality tree. Finally, three transition trees are presented to grade the implementation of change at the study organization.

The diffusion model for soil gaseous efflux has been applied to modeling the fluxes of several gases in soils and deserves testing with regard to Hg0. As an initial test of this model, we examined soil gaseous Hg0 and CO2 concentrations at two depths (20 and 40 cm) over the course of a controlled environment study conducted in the EcoCELLs at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada. We also compared small, spatially distributed gas wells against the more commonly used large gas wells. In this study, two EcoCELLs were first watered (June 2000) and then planted (July 2000) with trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides). Following that, trees were harvested (October 2000) and one EcoCELL (EcoCELL 2) was replanted with aspen (25 April 2001). During most of the experiment, there was a strong vertical gradient of CO2 (increasing with depth, as is typical of a diffusion-driven process), but no vertical gradient of soil gaseous Hg0. Strong diel variations in soil gas Hg0 concentration were noted, whereas diel variations in CO2 were small and not statistically significant. Initial watering and planting caused increases in both soil gas CO2 and Hg0. Replanting in EcoCELL 2 caused a statistically significant increase in soil gas CO2 but not Hg0. Calculated Hg0 effluxes using the diffusion model produced values two orders of magnitude lower than those measured using field chambers placed directly on the soil or whole-cell fluxes. Neither soil gas Hg0 concentrations nor calculated fluxes were correlated with measured Hg0 efflux from soil or from whole EcoCELLs. We conclude that (1) soil gas Hg0 flux is not diffusion-driven and thus soil gas Hg0 concentrations cannot be used to calculated soil Hg0 efflux; (2) soil gas Hg0 concentrations are increased by watering dry soil, probably because of displacement/desorption processes; (3) soil gas Hg0 concentrations were unaffected by plants, suggesting that roots and rhizosphere processes are unimportant in controlling Hg0 evasion from the soil surface. We recommend the use of the small wells in all future studies because they are much easier to install and provide more resolution of spatial and temporal patterns in soil gaseous Hg0.

The details of this mechanism have been elusive because c-Abl lacks a phosphotyrosine residue that triggers the assembly of the autoinhibited form of the closely related Src kinases by internally engaging the SH2 domain. Crystal structures of c-Abl show that the N-terminal myristoyl modification of c-Abl 1b binds to the kinase domain and induces conformational changes that allow the SH2 and SH3 domains to dock onto it. Autoinhibited c-Abl forms an assembly that is strikingly similar to that of inactive Src kinases but with specific differences that explain the differential ability of the drug STI-571/Gleevec/imatinib (STI-571) to inhibit the catalytic activity of Abl, but not that of c-Src.

Each technology has specific materials issues with respect to the role of recombination lifetime in the potential success of that technology. The dominant commercial technology for low-cost deployment of photovoltaics is currently based on various growth methods of bulk silicon. For low-cost terrestrial applications, the objective is to compromise efficiency while maximizing the efficiency-to-cost ratio. A frequent and cost-efficient tactic is to develop low-cost silicon purification and gettering processes, assessing the effectiveness of the latter by lifetime measurements. The recombination mechanism that affects low-cost silicon photovoltaics is the impurity-related Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) process, and SRH-impurity removal is of primary concern. Here, I will present some results from a photovoltaic device model that links a theoretical efficiency to a given range of recombination lifetimes. Specialized measurement techniques are needed to get meaningful information about recombination lifetimes for these low-cost materials. Described here is a contactless photoconductive decay measurement system that has proven to be successful for most of these materials. Experimental results on a range of low-cost silicon alternatives will be presented.

The model includes provincial level logistic growth functions with saturation levels representative of neighboring Asian economies, income growth measured in international dollars, and both estimated and literature-based income elasticities. Scenarios explore variation in key parameters, including income and population growth rates, elasticity income ranges, fuel economy, and vehicle saturation. Countrywide base case results estimate growth from 4.22 to 54.33 passenger vehicles per thousand people from 1995 to 2025. Resulting passenger vehicle oil demands and CO2 emissions increase nearly 17-fold.

Many countries are initiating reforms of their power sectors to stimulate private investment, increase operation and management efficiencies, and lower the cost of power. These countries are unbundling vertically integrated utilities into distinct generation, transmission, distribution and retail supply companies; introducing commercial management principles to government-owned monopolies; and in many cases transferring operation or ownership to private companies. Electric industry restructuring may force regulators and policy makers to re-examine existing mechanisms for promoting load management and energy efficiency. In some cases, electric industry restructuring replaces the long-standing relationship between a single monopoly provider and protected customer franchise with a new set of relationships among retail electricity suppliers and customers who may now be free to choose suppliers. In these types of situations, markets, not government regulators and utility monopolies, are seen as determining future energy production and consumption decisions. However, it is uncertain whether this type of restructuring will overcome important market barriers to energy efficiency that limit markets for energy-efficient products and services from functioning effectively. As a result of these barriers, a large, untapped potential for cost-effective energy-efficiency investments exists. Supporters of public policies argue that energy-efficiency programs are an appropriate government strategy to capture economic efficiencies that the market cannot secure unassisted.

T1 - Precaution, uncertainty and causation in environmental decisions JO - Environment International JF - Environment International Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 29 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 01604120 AB - What measures of uncertainty and what causal analysis can improve the management of potentially severe, irreversible or dreaded environmental outcomes? Environmental choices show that policies intended to be precautionary (such as adding MTBE to petrol) can cause unanticipated harm (by mobilizing benzene, a known leukemogen, in the ground water). Many environmental law principles set the boundaries of what should be done but do not provide an operational construct to answer this question. Those principles, ranging from the precautionary principle to protecting human health from a significant risk of material health impairment, do not explain how to make environmental management choices when incomplete, inconsistent and complex scientific evidence characterizes potentially adverse environmental outcomes. Rather, they pass the task to lower jurisdictions such as agencies or authorities. To achieve the goals of the principle, those who draft it must deal with scientific casual conjectures, partial knowledge and variable data. In this paper we specifically deal with the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the European Union''s (EU) explanation of consistency and on the examination of scientific developments relevant to variability and uncertain data and causation. Managing hazards under the precautionary principle requires inductive, empirical methods of assessment. However, acting on a scientific conjecture can also be socially unfair, costly, and detrimental when applied to complex environmental choices. We describe a constructive framework rationally to meet the command of the precautionary principle using alternative measures of uncertainty and recent statistical methods of causal analysis. These measures and methods can bridge the gap between conjectured future irreversible or severe harm and scant scientific evidence, thus leading to more confident and resilient social choices. We review two sets of measures and computational systems to deal with uncertainty and link them to causation through inductive empirical methods such as Bayesian Networks. We conclude that primary legislation concerned with large uncertainties and potential severe or dreaded environmental outcomes can produce accurate and efficient choices. To do so, primary legislation should specifically indicate what measures can represent uncertainty and how to deal with uncertain causation thus providing guidance to an agency''s rulemaking or to an authority''s writing secondary legislation. A corollary conclusion with legal, scientific and probabilistic implications concerns how to update past information when the state of information increases because a failure to update can result in regretting past choices. Elected legislators have the democratic mandate to formulate precautionary principles and are accountable. To preserve that mandate, imbedding formal methods to represent uncertainty in the statutory language of the precautionary principle enhances subsequent judicial review of legislative actions. The framework that we propose also reduces the Balkanized views and interpretations of probabilities, possibilities, likelihood and uncertainty that exists in environmental decision-making.

An agricultural sector model (POLYSYS) was modified to include three potential bioenergy crops (switchgrass, hybrid poplar, and willow). At farmgate prices of US $2.44/GJ, an estimated 17 million hectares of bioenergy crops, annually yielding 171 million dry Mg of biomass, could potentially be produced at a profit greater than existing agricultural uses for the land. The estimate assumes high productivity management practices are permitted on Conservation Reserve Program lands. Traditional crops prices are estimated to increase 9 to 14 percent above baseline prices and farm income increases annually by US $6.0 billion above baseline. At farmgate prices of US $1.83/GJ, an estimated 7.9 million hectares of bioenergy crops, annually yielding 55 million dry Mg of biomass, could potentially be produced at a profit greater than existing agricultural uses for the land. The estimate assumes management practices intended to achieve high environmental benefits on Conservation Reserve Program lands. Traditional crops prices are estimated to increase 4 to 9 percent above baseline prices and farm income increases annually by US $2.8 billion above baseline.

Estimating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is complicated by the fact that consumption of fossil-fuels and harvesting of forests do not necessarily mean that the contained C has been released to the atmosphere as CO2. Some fractions of fossil-fuels and harvested wood are incorporated into products that have lifetimes ranging from months to centuries. The IPCC methodology addresses durable products by assuming that some prescribed fraction goes to permanent storage while the remainder is oxidized instantly. The question posed here is whether the annual increase in stocks of durable products, i.e. the difference between the rates of production and oxidation, can be reasonably estimated as a simple fraction of their current rate of production. Although the annual stock change can be described as a simple fraction of annual production when production is growing exponentially and oxidation is a first order decay process, a description of annual stock changes needs to consider how both production and oxidation are evolving with time, regardless of the functional forms of these changes with time.

The EPA is preparing guidance for states on how to use on-road emissions measurements made by roadside sensors (remote sensing) to evaluate the effectiveness of their I/M programs. In its guidance EPA describes three methods of using remote sensing data for such evaluations: the comprehensive method, the step change method, and the reference method. We used an extensive number of remote sensing measurements in the Phoenix area to estimate program benefits under each method, in order to understand how each method measures emission reductions under an I/M program. The extensive number of measurements also allows testing the sensitivity of results obtained under the comprehensive method to the month in which the measurements were taken. We found that the comprehensive method estimates a small reduction in CO emissions (3.3±0.6%) from the I/M program; however, the step change method estimates no program benefit. A reference method analysis comparing on-road emissions of fleets in an enhanced and a basic program indicates that older vehicles have higher on-road emissions under the enhanced program than the basic program. Discrepancies between these results are discussed, as are several factors which appear to influence results under each method.

Approximately 80% of the total Hg accumulated in the aboveground biomass was found in the leaves, and roughly 1% of that Hg was methylated. Leaves of additional aspen grown within the mesocosms in containers of low Hg soil (0.03±0.01 μg g−1) exhibited foliar Hg concentrations similar to those of trees grown in the Hg-enriched soil. Leaf rinses and surrogate Teflon surfaces were analyzed to characterize surface deposition processes. Small gas-exchange systems were used to measure stomatal uptake of Hg vapor, and the mean Hg flux was −3.3 ng m−2 h−1. These experiments showed that almost all of the Hg in foliar tissue originated from the atmosphere. Thus, in the fall when deciduous trees enter dormancy and leaves senesce, litterfall would represent a new Hg input to terrestrial ecosystems.

To confirm and extend these results we evaluated 22 phosphine appliers and 26 controls matched for age and smoking status. Two independent methods were used to evaluate exposure: fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with whole-chromosome paints of chromosomes 1, 2, and 4 labeled in a single color to quantify translocations in peripheral lymphocytes, and the glycophorin A (GPA) assay to quantify phenotypically mutant (NØ or NN) erythrocytes. No differences in the frequency of translocations were found in the phosphine appliers compared to the controls, and no effect of cigarette smoking was observed. However, a significant increase in the frequency of translocations with age (P<0.0001) was seen. No effect of phosphine exposure or cigarette smoking was observed in the GPA assay. These results are in contrast to previous findings from this same population which showed an increase in chromosome aberrations among phosphine appliers. The results are most easily interpreted as supporting the effectiveness of the personal protective equipment that is now worn by the workers but which was not employed prior to and during the earlier studies.

SN - 01436244 AB - A comparison of the performance of two fault detection and diagnosis methods applied to a cooling coil subsystem in an air-handling unit installed in a real building is presented. Both methods employ a first principles based reference model of the target system. One scheme carries out diagnosis using expert rules and the other recursively re-estimates selected parameters of the system model that correspond to particular faults. The procedures and information required to configure the schemes for condition monitoring are discussed. The results of testing the methods on an HVAC cooling coil subsystem in a commercial office building in the UK over an entire cooling season are reported. Both methods were able to both detect faults and provide some diagnosis. The expert rule method, however, appears to be more robust. Issues associated with the configuration and implementation of both methods are discussed in terms of performance and cost.

This development can be largely traced to a well-designed and carefully implemented renewables portfolio standard (RPS). The RPS is a new policy mechanism that has received increasing attention as an attractive approach to support renewable power generation. Though replacing existing renewable energy policies with an as-of-yet untested approach in the RPS is risky, early experience from Texas suggests that an RPS can effectively spur renewables development and encourage competition among renewable energy producers. Initial RPS targets in Texas were well exceeded by the end of 2001, with 915 MW of wind installed in that year alone. RPS compliance costs appear negligible with new wind projects reportedly contracted for well under 3(US)¢/kWh, in part as a result of a 1.7(US)¢/kWh production tax credit, an outstanding wind resource and an RPS that is sizable enough to drive project economies of scale. Obliged retail suppliers have been willing to enter into long-term contracts with renewable generators, reducing important risks for both the developer and the retail supplier. Finally, the country''s first comprehensive renewable energy certificate program has been put into place to monitor and track RPS compliance.

JO - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment JF - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 84 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 5 EP - 18 SN - 01676369 AB - The objective of this study is to examine the effect of clay minerals (illite, montmorillonite, and kaolinite) on chromate (Cr(VI)) reduction by several low molecular weight organic compounds. Batch experiments at pH ranging from 3.0 to 6.0 and 25 °C showed that 2:1 layered clays illite and smectite catalyzed Cr(VI) reduction by oxalate. The catalytic effect increased as pH was decreased. The 1:1 clay kaolinite had no catalytic effect under comparable conditions. Direct Cr(VI) reduction by reactive moieties associated with illite and montmorillonite was observed, but at a much slower rate than the catalytic pathway. Cr(VI) reduction by glyoxylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid was accelerated by illite, although aqueous phase reduction might occur in parallel. These results suggest that Cr(VI) reduction rates in subsurface environments rich in organic compounds may be elevated through catalysis of surface-bound metals and/or soluble species from the clay minerals, and as a result, higher than those expected from aqueous phase reaction alone. Such rate enhancement for Cr(VI) reduction needs to be accounted for when developing new remedial techniques for chromium site remediation or assessing its natural attenuation.

J. Devaney, ''Super-resolution imaging using time-reversal and MUSIC,'' J. Acoust. Soc. Am. (to be published)] is generalized to the case where the transmitter and receiver sensor arrays need not be coincident and for cases where the background medium can be nonreciprocal. The new theory developed herein is based on the singular value decomposition of the generalized multistatic data matrix of the sensor system rather than the standard eigenvector/eigenvalue decomposition of the time-reversal matrix as was employed in the above-mentioned work and other treatments of time-reversal imaging [Prada, Thomas, and Fink, ''The iterative time reversal process: Analysis of the convergence,'' J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97, 62 ~1995!; Prada et al., ''Decomposition of the time reversal operator: Detection and selective focusing on two scatterers,'' J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 2067 (1996)]. A generalized multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is derived that allows super-resolution imaging of both well-resolved and non-well-resolved point targets from arbitrary sensor array geometries. MUSIC exploits the orthogonal nature of the scatterer and noise subspaces defined by the singular vectors of the multistatic data matrix to form scatterer images. The time-reversal/MUSIC algorithm is tested and validated in two computer simulations of offset vertical seismic profiling where the sensor sources are aligned along the earth's surface and the receiver array is aligned along a subsurface borehole. All results demonstrate the high contrast, high resolution imaging capabilities of this new algorithm combination when compared with ''classical'' backpropagation or field focusing. Above and beyond the application of seismo-acoustic imaging, the time-reversal super-resolution theory has applications in ocean acoustics for target location, and ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation of parts.

It is shown that phenomena associated with the transition are functions of three independent dimensionless parameters including the dimensionless radius rounding the edge of the end of the channel. The effect of each of these three parameters on the time-averaged pressure difference across the transition and the acoustic power dissipation is explored by holding two parameters fixed while varying the third. Evidence is presented that the losses due to oscillatory flow in this geometry are smaller than would be expected from commonly accepted values for steady flow in similar geometry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

METHODS: As an example, we evaluated the design of the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS). This study compared apparent changes in fitness between two baseline visits to mortality during a subsequent 5-yr follow-up period. Unfit men who were reclassified as fit at the second baseline examination (6.6% of sample) and fit men who were reclassified as unfit (2.3%) had follow-up mortality rates that were between those of men who were consistently classified as fit or unfit. This study design was simulated assuming that differences between baseline treadmill test durations were due to measurement error alone. Based on our own data, we estimated that repeat measurements of treadmill test duration have correlation of r = 0.89 in the absence of any real fitness change. RESULTS: There is excellent agreement between the published ACLS risk reductions and our simulated reductions for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality. Compared with the 'Unfit-->Unfit' (the referent group), the estimated relative risks from the simulations for men who were reclassified as fit (i.e., 'Unfit-->Fit') were 0.57 for total mortality and 0.52 for CVD mortality, and for men who remained classified as fit ('Fit-->Fit'), they were 0.33 for total mortality and 0.20 for CVD mortality. CONCLUSION: The imprecision of the fitness measurement alone (i.e., measurement error) is sufficient to produce the reported ACLS risk reductions in initially unfit men who get reclassified as fit in a subsequent clinic visit. This statistical artifact will apply to other studies that use this design.

The formulation focuses on robust optimization, using a partial moment measure of risk. This risk measure is incorporated into the expected recourse function of a two-stage stochastic programming formulation, and stochastic decomposition is used as a solution procedure. A numerical example illustrates the importance of including uncertainty in the fleet sizing problem formulation, and the nature of the fundamental tradeoff between acquiring more vehicles and accepting the risk of potentially high costs if insufficient resources are available.

These differences amount to violations of a symmetry called charge-parity reversal, or CP. After years of effort, experimental and theoretical physicists have found a natural way for CP symmetry to be broken within the prevailing theory of particle physics, called the Standard Model. Two accelerators in California and in Japan have begun to probe violations of CP, with the aim of understanding whether the Standard Model needs to be revamped or replaced. Aspects of the theory that involve the Higgs particle are all untested. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, will allow the Higgs to be observed if its properties are as predicted by the Standard Model.

The measurements are used to derive emission factors from ships of three species not reported previously, namely, black carbon, accumulation-mode particles, and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), as well as for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), non-methane hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and condensation nuclei. The effects of fuel grade and engine power on ship emissions are discussed. The emission factors are combined with fuel usage data to obtain estimates of global annual emissions of various particles and gases from ocean-going ships. Global emissions of black carbon, accumulation-mode particles, and CCN from ocean-going ships are estimated to be 19–26 Gg yr−1, (4.4–6.1)×1026 particles yr−1, and (1.0–1.5)×1026 particles yr−1, respectively. Black carbon emissions from ocean-going ships are ∼0.2% of total anthropogenic emissions. Emissions of NOx and SO2 from ocean-going ships are ∼10–14% and ∼3–4%, respectively, of the total emissions of these species from the burning of fossil fuels, and ∼40% and ∼70%, respectively, of the total emissions of these species from the burning of biomass. Global annual emissions of CO and CH4 from ocean-going ships are ∼2% and ∼2–5%, respectively, of natural oceanic emissions of these species.

The reaction center complexes were obtained following isolation procedures that differed in chromatographic column material, washing buffer composition and detergent concentration. Two different types of cytochrome b 559 assays were performed. The absolute heme content in each preparation was obtained using the oxidized-minus-reduced difference extinction coefficient of cytochrome b 559 at 559 nm. The relative amount of D1 and cytochrome b 559 α-subunit polypeptide was also calculated for each preparation from immunoblots obtained using antibodies raised against the two polypeptides. The results indicate that the cytochrome b 559 heme content in photosystem II reaction center complexes can vary with the isolation procedure, but the variation of the cytochrome b 559 α-subunit/D1 polypeptide ratio was even greater. This variation was not found in the PSII-enriched membrane fragments used as the RC-isolation starting material, as different batches of membranes obtained from spinach harvested at different seasons of the year or those from sugar beets grown in a chamber under controlled environmental conditions lack variation in their α-subunit/D1 polypeptide ratio. A precise determination of the ratio using an RC1-control sample calibration curve gave a ratio of 1.25 cytochrome b 559 α-subunit per 1.0 D1 polypeptide in photosystem II membranes. We conclude that the variations found in the reaction center preparations were due to the different procedures used to isolate and purify the different reaction center complexes.

Furthermore, all packets of a type are treated the same independent of their size. We propose the framework of NetLets to enable the applications to send data packets to the destination with certain guarantees on the end-to-end delay. NetLets employ in situ instruments to measure the effective bandwidth and propagation delays on the links, and compute the paths with minimum measured end-to-end delay for data packets of various sizes. Based on experiments over local area networks, the paths selected by NetLets indeed achieve the minimum end-to-end delay, and our method outperformed the best-effort mechanism based on the hop count. We also describe an implementation of NetLets over the Internet to illustrate their viability for wide-area networks.

T1 - The roles of natural organic matter in chemical and microbial reduction of ferric iron JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2003/05/20/ VL - 307 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 167 SN - 00489697 AB - Although natural organic matter (NOM) is known to be redox reactive, the roles and effectiveness of specific functional groups of NOM in metal reduction are still a subject of intense investigation. This study entails the investigation of the Fe(III) reduction kinetics and capacity by three fractionated NOM subcomponents in the presence or absence of the dissimilatory metal reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens CN32. Results indicate that NOM was able to reduce Fe(III) abiotically; the reduction was pH-dependent and varied greatly with different fractions of NOM. The polyphenolic-rich NOM-PP fraction exhibited the highest reactivity and oxidation capacity at a low pH (<4) as compared with the carbohydrate-rich NOM-CH fraction and a soil humic acid (soil HA) in reducing Fe(III). However, at a pH>4, soil HA showed a relatively high oxidation capacity, probably resulting from its conformational and solubility changes with an increased solution pH. In the presence of S. putrefaciens CN32, all NOM fractions were found to enhance the microbial reduction of Fe(III) under anaerobic, circumneutral pH conditions. Soil HA was found to be particularly effective in mediating the bioreduction of Fe(III) as compared with the NOM-PP or NOM-CH fractions. NOM-CH was the least effective because it was depleted in both aromatic and polyphenolic organic contents. However, because both soil HA and NOM-PP contain relatively high amounts of aromatic and phenolic compounds, results may indicate that low-molecular-weight polyphenolic organics in NOM-PP were less effective in mediating the bioreduction of Fe(III) at circumneutral pH than the high-molecular-weight polycondensed, conjugated aromatics present in soil HA. These research findings may shed additional light in understanding of the roles and underlying mechanisms of NOM reactions with contaminant metals, radionuclides, and other toxic chemicals in the natural environment.

These measurements were combined with micrometeorological flux measurements to determine emission flux measurements for various VOCs. This measurement program was part of project NOVA (Natural emissions of Oxidant precursors: Validation of techniques and Assessment) to estimate the flux of VOCs. Average emissions of VOCs (and standard error) was estimated to be 4900±700 μg/m2/h out of which emission for methanol averaged (3450±420) μg/m2/h. A methanol emission rate of 35 μg/g/h was calculated for maize from the estimated emission of methanol and biomass density for the site.

Alcohol decreases glucose metabolism in the human brain in a pattern that is consistent with its facilitation of GABAergic neurotransmission. We compared the regional changes in brain glucose metabolism during alcohol intoxication between female and male subjects. METHODS: Ten female and 10 male healthy controls were scanned with positron emission tomography and 2-deoxy-2[18F]fluoro-D-glucose twice: 40 min after placebo (diet soda) or alcohol (0.75 g/kg mixed with diet soda). RESULTS: Alcohol significantly and consistently decreased whole-brain metabolism. The magnitude of these changes was significantly larger in male (-25 +/- 6%) than in female (-14 +/- 11%; p < 0.005) subjects. Half of the female subjects had reductions in metabolism during intoxication that were significantly lower than those in male subjects. This blunted response in the female subjects was not due to differences in alcohol concentration in plasma, because these did not differ between the genders. In contrast, the self-reports for the perception of intoxication were significantly greater in female than in male subjects. The cognitive deterioration during alcohol intoxication, although not significant, tended to be worse in female subjects. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows a markedly blunted sensitivity to the effects of acute alcohol on brain glucose metabolism in female subjects that may reflect gender differences in alcohol's modulation of GABAergic neurotransmission. The greater behavioral effects of alcohol in female subjects despite the blunted metabolic responses could reflect other effects of alcohol, for which the regional metabolic signal may be hidden within the large decrements in metabolism that occur during alcohol intoxication.

T1 - The 2001 Phoenix Sunrise experiment: vertical mixing and chemistry during the morning transition in Phoenix JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 37 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 2365 SN - 13522310 AB - A field experiment was carried out in Phoenix during June 2001 to examine the role of vertical mixing on the O3 chemistry of the boundary layer during the morning transition from stable to unstable atmospheric conditions. Surface instruments, instruments located on two floors of a 39 story building in downtown Phoenix, and an instrumented airplane were used to characterize the evolving chemistry in the lowest 650 m of the atmosphere. Remote sensing and in situ platforms were used to obtain detailed profiles of winds and temperatures during the early morning hours and for several hours after sunrise. The analysis presented in this paper focuses on vertical profiles of CO, O3, and NO/NOy measured on the building and their relationship to the morning boundary layer evolution over Phoenix. Some features of these profiles were found that are consistent with a simple conceptual picture of nighttime trapping of pollutants in a stable surface layer and a subsequent release the following morning. On some days, however, evidence of significant vertical mixing was found during the early morning hours well before the times expected for the development of convective mixing after sunrise. Possible causes include advection, street canyon turbulence, and large-scale convergence, but a satisfactory explanation for the observed evolution of the chemical profiles has not yet been found.

However, climate mitigation policies do not generally incorporate the effects of these changes in the land surface on the surface albedo, the fluxes of sensible and latent heat to the atmosphere, and the distribution of energy within the climate system. Changes in these components of the surface energy budget can affect the local, regional, and global climate. Given the goal of mitigating climate change, it is important to consider all of the effects of changes in terrestrial vegetation and to work toward a better understanding of the full climate system. Acknowledging the importance of land surface change as a component of climate change makes it more challenging to create a system of credits and debits wherein emission or sequestration of carbon in the biosphere is equated with emission of carbon from fossil fuels. Recognition of the complexity of human-caused changes in climate does not, however, weaken the importance of actions that would seek to minimize our disturbance of the Earth’s environmental system and that would reduce societal and ecological vulnerability to environmental change and variability.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 58 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 376 SN - 01650009 AB - We intercompare a series of multi-year simulations with a coupled regional chemistry-climate model for east Asia to assess the relative importance of direct and indirect (Type I) effects of anthropogenic sulfate on the climate of the region. Both direct and indirect aerosol effects induce a negative radiative forcing that results in a cooling of the surface and in a decrease of precipitation. Under present day sulfur emissions, the direct aerosol effects prevail during the cold season, while the indirect effects dominate in the warm season (when cloudiness is maximum over the region). When both the direct and indirect effects are included, the surface cooling varies in the range of –0.1 to over –1 K throughout the region and extended areas of statistically significant cooling are found in all seasons except winter. The indirect effects largely dominate in inhibiting precipitation, especially during the summer. When doubling the sulfur emissions, the direct effects are substantially strengthened, while the indirect effects are only marginally affected. This indicates that the indirect effects over the region might be asymptotically approaching their maximum efficiency. Overall, the indirect effects appear necessary to explain the observed temperature record over some regions of China, at least in the warm season. A number of uncertainties need to be addressed, such as due to Type II indirect effects, modeling of the relationship between aerosol concentration and cloud optical properties, and contribution of aerosols other than anthropogenic sulfate.

In addition to the surface sources and receivers, a high-temperature three-component seismometer was deployed in a borehole at a depth of 1250 m within the basement below the reservoir, which recorded the waves generated by all surface sources. The objective of this study was to determine the subsurface structure of the reservoir based on this surface-to-borehole dataset. A total of 1959 first-arrival travel times were determined out of 2134 possible traces. Two-dimensional ray tracing was performed to simulate wave propagation from the surface sources to the receiver at depth. The ray tracing was based on a 2-D laterally homogeneous velocity model derived from results of a vertical-seismic-profile (VSP) experiment recorded in the same well. The method is an approximation where it is assumed that differences in travel time between the observed and modeled data are caused by structural deviations from a homogeneously layered model as estimated by the VSP profile, and thus are mapped into topographic changes at depth. The results indicate, to first order, the presence of two dominant geologic features. The first observation is consistent with the regional trend of the geologic units in the Basin and Range province with a north-south strike and dip to the west, as expected for this area west of the Humboldt Thrust Range. The second is a local feature in the form of an east–west ridge. The geometry of the structure is corroborated by results from a seismic-reflection survey, and by results of a gravity survey conducted in the area above the reservoir.

The energy crisis in California in 2001 made this basic issue universal. New technologies are expected to reduce pollution derived both from production processes and products, with costs that are still unknown and in competition with more mature technologies high. Nevertheless, until now there is still little, but growing knowledge concerning the process of technological innovation in the fields of energy and environment.In this paper we analyze the development of zinc air fuel cell (ZAFC) and its transfer from a research laboratory to potential mass production. ZAFC are a new ‘environmentally sound technology’, proven to have commercial value, that can be used for substituting internal combustion engines (ICEs) and meeting zero emission vehicles (ZEV) regulations. Although ZAFC performances are higher than traditional electric batteries ones, commercial costs are still high. Hence the pathway to mass production may come from stationary application of fuel cells for power.In contrast to the conventional ‘paradigmatic’ approach, we argue that the existing economic and organizational literature concerning technological innovation is not able to fully explain steps followed in commercializing energy—environmentally sound technologies. Existing models mainly consider adopting problems, which are due to market uncertainty, weak application, lack of a dominant design, and problems in reconfiguring existing organizational routines. Above all ‘market power’ exists in terms of control over technological innovation and its commercial application. Barriers are erected that prevent new technologies such as fuel cells from becoming adapted. Through pro-active government intervention, such as the case in California, new advanced technologies can move rapidly into the marketplace.From this discussion we draw some conclusions and issues for further research concerning policy making for sustaining the process of technological transfer and firms’ strategies in technological innovation.

SN - 00472433 AB - Reviews of several remedies selected and implemented under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, revealed deficiencies in remedy protectiveness although the remedy had only been in place for five years. Many of these deficiencies should have been foreseeable, and therefore preventable, at the time the remedy was selected. Analysis of successes and deficiencies noted in the CERCLA five-year reviews highlights the pivotal role that monitoring plans and land use controls have in ensuring remedy protectiveness. The analysis demonstrated that remedy protectiveness assessments and remedy modification justifications depend on robust site and remedy monitoring plans as well as on adequately developed conceptual site models. Comprehensive understanding and inferences regarding past, present, and future land and resource use at the remedy selection stage can enhance remedy protectiveness because stakeholders can determine if land use controls are necessary and if they can be implemented and enforced. The findings from this analysis of five-year reviews of remedy protectiveness are applicable to initial remedy selection decisions and subsequent enhancements of their effectiveness through time.

Near-field images reveal that the enhanced near-field from the dressed particle's (DP) resonantly excited plasmon oscillation is efficiently absorbed by the J-aggregates. The sensitivity of the near-field images recorded at the harmonics of the probe vibration frequency suggests that the DP is releasing part of the absorbed energy radiatively upon interaction with the probe. The role of the probe in providing this new radiative relaxation channel is further confirmed as fluorescence from the J-aggregates on the particle is detected on the particle location only. We based the interpretation of our results on the near-field optical response from a bare Ag particle excited at the plasmon resonance as well as on far-field emission and transient absorption experiments.

[J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 87, 1861-1870 (1990)]. This technique combines the finite element method and plane wave method to simulate three-dimensional scattering off a two-dimensional fractured layer structure. Each fracture is modeled explicitly, so that the model can simulate both discrete arrivals of scattered waves from individual fractures and multiply scattered waves between the fractures. Using this technique, we examine changes in scattering characteristics of plane elastic waves as a function of wave frequency, angle of incidence, and fracture properties such as fracture stiffness, height, and regular and irregular spacing.

Manifestations of "nonclassical" nonlinearity include stress-strain hysteresis and discrete memory in quasistatic experiments, and specific dependencies of the harmonic amplitudes with respect to the drive amplitude in dynamic wave experiments, which are remarkably different from those predicted by the classical theory. These materials have in common soft "bond" elements, where the elastic nonlinearity originates, contained in hard matter (e.g., a rock sample). The bond system normally comprises a small fraction of the total material volume, and can be localized (e.g., a crack in a solid) or distributed, as in a rock. In this paper a model is presented in which the soft elements are treated as hysteretic or reversible elastic units connected in a one-dimensional lattice to elastic elements (grains), which make up the hard matrix. Calculations are performed in the framework of the local interaction simulation approach (LISA). Experimental observations are well predicted by the model, which is now ready both for basic investigations about the physical origins of nonlinear elasticity and for applications to material damage diagnostics.

In this article, we propose a new class of models for permutations that closely resembles the behavior of auto racing results. We pose the model in a Bayesian hierarchical framework, which permits hierarchical specification and fully hierarchical estimation of interaction terms. We demonstrate the methodology using several rich datasets that consist of repeated rankings for a collection of drivers. Our models can potentially identify individuals racing in "minor league" divisions who have higher potential for competitive performance at higher levels. We also present evidence that one of the sport's more controversial figures, Jeff Gordon, is a statistically dominant figure.

JO - Networks & Spatial Economics JF - Networks & Spatial Economics Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 3 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 263 SN - 1566113X AB - In competitive electricity markets, the vertically integrated utilities that were responsible for ensuring system reliability in their own service territories, or groups of territories, often cease to exist. Typically, the burden falls to an independent system operator (ISO) to ensure that enough ancillary services (AS) are available for safe, stable, and reliable operation of the grid, defined, in part, as compliance with officially approved engineering specifications for minimum levels of AS. In order to characterize the behavior of market participants (generators, retailers, and an ISO) in a competitive electricity market with reliability requirements, we model a spot market for electricity and forward markets for both electricity and AS. By assuming that each participant seeks to maximize its expected utility of wealth and that all markets clear, we solve for the optimal quantities of electricity and AS traded in each market by all participants, as well as the corresponding market-clearing prices. We show that forward prices for both electricity and AS depend on expectations of the spot price, statistical aspects of system demand, and production cost parameters. More important, our model captures the fact that AS are essentially call options for electricity that can potentially be used just like any other derivative to manage risk within a competitive environment. We use data from the California electricity market to test our model's viability.

Data on five processes (atmospheric N deposition, fertilization, net soil N mineralization, plant uptake, and denitrification) that contribute to potential excess N under different land cover categories were obtained from a literature review. Factors were also estimated to apportion annual N fluxes among different seasons of the year. Potential excess N was calculated as the difference between inputs to and outputs from an inorganic N pool. If inputs exceeded outputs, then the difference was assumed to represent N at risk of loss from the landscape to surface receiving waters and groundwaters. Land covers that were classified as potential N sources were influenced by soil N inventories and rates of net soil N mineralization (which is a natural process). The results indicated that there are large land areas in the Neuse River Basin that could be classified as either a N source or a N sink. Such areas are potentially sensitive because future changes in land use, or small alterations in N fluxes, could convert areas that are essentially in balance with respect to N biogeochemistry into the N source or N sink category. In this respect, model predictions indicate that the timing of N inputs and outputs on the landscape can be a critical determinant of potential excess N.

To evaluate internal climate variability, we apply spectral analysis to time series of surface air temperature (SAT) from nine coupled general circulation model (GCM) simulations, three recent global paleotemperature reconstructions, and Northern Hemisphere (NH) instrumental records. Our comparison is focused on the NH due to the greater spatial and temporal coverage and validation of the available NH temperature reconstructions. The paleotemperature reconstructions capture the general magnitude of NH climate variability, but not the precise variance and specific spatial, temporal, or periodic signals demonstrated in the instrumental record. The models achieved varying degrees of success for each measure of variability analyzed, with none of the models consistently capturing the appropriate variability. In general, the models performed best in the analysis of combined mean annual land and marine variability.

Among other uses, such models are employed both to detect anthropogenic effects in the climate record of the past century and to project future climatic changes due to human production of greenhouse gases and aerosols. CMIP has archived output from both constant forcing (“control run”) and perturbed (1% per year increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide) simulations. This report summarizes results form 18 CMIP models. A third of the models refrain from employing ad hoc flux adjustments at the ocean–atmosphere interface. The new generation of non-flux-adjusted control runs are nearly as stable as—and agree with observations nearly as well as—the flux-adjusted models. Both flux-adjusted and non-flux-adjusted models simulate an overall level of natural internal climate variability that is within the bounds set by observations. These developments represent significant progress in the state of the art of climate modeling since the Second (1995) Scientific Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC; see Gates et al. [Gates, W.L., et al., 1996. Climate models—Evaluation. Climate Climate 1995: The Science of Climate Change, Houghton, J.T., et al. (Eds.), Cambridge Univ. Press, pp. 229–284]). In the increasing-CO2 runs, differences between different models, while substantial, are not as great as one might expect from earlier assessments that relied on equilibrium climate sensitivity.

Though the spatial and temporal pattern of radiative forcing from greenhouse gases differs from that of sunlight, it was shown in a recent study that these schemes would largely mitigate regional or seasonal climate change for a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 content. Here, we examine the ability of reduced solar luminosity to cancel the effects of quadrupling of CO2 content. In agreement with our previous study, geoengineering schemes could markedly diminish regional and seasonal climate change. However, there are some residual climate changes: in the geoengineered 4×CO2 climate, a significant decrease in surface temperature and net water flux occurs in the tropics; warming in the high latitudes is not completely compensated; the cooling effect of greenhouse gases in the stratosphere persists and sea ice is not fully restored. However, these residual climate changes are much smaller than the change from quadrupling of CO2 without reducing solar input. Caution should be exercised in interpretation because these results are from a single model with a number of simplifying assumptions. There are also many technical, environmental and political reasons not to implement geoengineering schemes.

The study area for this project was Boston, Massachusetts, which is a representative of large northern urban areas in the US. Data were collected for three groups of households that received both weatherization and LIHEAP assistance and for one control group that only received LIHEAP assistance. The clearest impact of weatherization assistance on changes in LIHEAP assistance is shown in decreases in eligibility for high-energy benefits post-weatherization. A further statistical test also suggests that weatherization has a significant impact in reducing the overall needs for LIHEAP subsidies. However, it cannot be concluded that weatherization reduced the need for standard LIHEAP subsidies. Households in the sample that did drop out of the LIHEAP program had relatively higher incomes, younger household heads, and fewer years in home than those who stayed in the program. These demographics suggest that the households that dropped out of the program were more likely to experience income increases to make them ineligible for the program and were more likely to move out of the study area. Additionally, for no group for no time period did LIHEAP benefits cover all primary heating fuel bills. Thus, the overall conclusions of this study are that weatherization decreased the need for high-energy benefits but did not lead to low-income households relinquishing the need for standard LIHEAP benefits.

Historical releases of EDB have resulted in detectable EDB in groundwater and drinking wells, and recently concentrations up to 16 μg/L were detected in ground water at two fuel spill plumes in the vicinity of the Massachusetts Military Reservation Base on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Because the ground water in this area is used to flood cranberry bogs for the purposes of harvesting, the U.S. Air Force sponsored the development of aquatic screening benchmarks for EDB. Acute toxicity tests with Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow), Daphnia magna, and Ceriodaphnia dubia were conducted to provide data needed for development of screening benchmarks. Using a closed test-system to prevent volatilization of EDB, the 48-h LC50s (concentration that kills 50% of the test organisms) for P. promelas, D. magna, and C. dubia were 4.3 mg/L, 6.5 mg/L, and 3.6 mg/L, respectively. The screening benchmark for aquatic organisms, derived as the Tier II chronic water quality criteria, is 0.031 mg EDB/L. The sediment screening benchmark, based on equilibrium partitioning, is 2.45 mg EDB/kg of organic carbon in the sediment. The screening benchmarks developed here are an important component of an ecological risk assessment, during which perhaps hundreds of chemicals must be evaluated for their potential to cause ecological harm.

Email headers confirm that much of this traffic currently comes out of Lagos and Amsterdam. 419ers also create phony bank websites. Ad hoc information warfare has begun in which anti-scammers hijack these websites as well as scammers’ email accounts. Spam legislation will not stop these particular emails. Filtering outgoing mail, as close as practical to the source, could suppress that portion of the fraud carried out by email, at least in the short term.

This study uses Divisia decomposition and regression to test two candidate explanations—fuel mix and weather. The Divisia method demonstrates that fuel mix does not explain the declines in carbon intensity. The fuel mix, both overall and for electricity generation, became slightly more carbon intensive over the study period (though the slight trend reversed before the end of the period). A regression-based correction to the Divisia indices, accounting for variation in heating- and cooling-degree-days, indicates that warmer weather accounts for approximately 30% of the total declines. This leaves declines of more than 2% per year (and an acceleration of more than 1% over the previous decade) remaining to be explained.

We examine the growth in electricity demand between 1980 and 2000, as well as the composition of electricity end uses in 1999. One of the main conclusions from this analysis is that electricity use in California in the 1990s did not grow explosively, nor was the amount of growth unanticipated. In both absolute and relative terms, growth in electricity use was greater in the 1980s than the 1990s. During the 1990s, most of the growth in electricity use has been in the buildings sector, particularly commercial buildings. In 2000, the building sector accounted for 2/3 of annual electricity consumption and 3/4 of the summer peak load.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 92 SN - 0364152X AB - Recovery of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in a small east Tennessee stream impacted by fly ash discharges from a power plant was investigated over a period of 6.5 years. The rate of recovery was greatest in the first 2 years after an initial 75% reduction in coal use led to a similar reduction in ash discharges and associated contaminants; further recovery followed after all fly ash discharges ceased. Recovery of the stream progressed through two phases. In the first phase, which lasted for approximately the first 2 years, most density and richness metrics increased considerably. In the second phase of recovery, the increases in metric values were followed by declines before fluctuating in and out of the lower reference ranges for the metrics. Detrended correspondence analyses and indicator species analyses showed that changes in species composition and community structure were ongoing throughout the second phase. Thus, the first phase was characterized by species additions, while the second phase involved species replacements and shifts in community dominants. Further recovery of the macroinvertebrate community will probably depend on additional flushing of fly ash deposits from the streambed and flood plain, because their continued presence reduces habitat quality in the stream and serves as a potential source of contaminants. Further recovery also may be limited by the availability of vagile species in nearby watersheds.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/07//7/1/2003 VL - 37 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 2905 EP - 2912 SN - 0013936X AB - Green rusts (GRs), mixed iron(II)/iron(III) hydroxide minerals found in many suboxic environments, have been shown to reduce a range of organic and inorganic contaminants, including several chlorinated hydrocarbons. Many studies have demonstrated the catalytic activity of transition metal species in the reduction of chlorinated hydrocarbons, suggesting the potential for enhanced reduction by GR in the presence of an appropriate transition metal catalyst. Reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) was examined in aqueous suspensions of GR amended with Ag[sup I], Au[sup III], or Cu[sup II]. The CT reduction rates were greatly increased for systems amended with Cu[sup II], Au[sup III], and Ag[sup I] (listed in order of increasing rates) relative to GR alone. Observed intermediates and products included chloroform, dichloromethane, chloromethane, methane, acetylene, ethene, ethane, carbon monoxide, tetrachloroethene, and various nonchlorinated C[sub 3] and C[sub 4] compounds. Product distributions for the reductive dechlorination of CT were highly dependent on the transition metal used. A reaction pathway scheme is proposed in which CT is reduced primarily to methane and other nonchlorinated end products, largely through a series of one-electron reductions forming radicals and carbenes/carbenoids. Recently, X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of aqueous GR suspensions amended with Ag[sup I], Au[sup III], or Cu[sup II] showed that the metals were reduced to their zerovalent forms. A possible mechanism for CT reduction is the formation of a galvanic couple involving the zerovalent metal and GR, with reduction of CT occurring on the surface of the metal and GR serving as the bulk electron source. The enhanced reduction of CT by GR suspensions amended with Ag[sup I], Au[sup III], or Cu[sup II] may prove useful in the development of improved materials for remediation of chlorinated organic contaminants.

Test cell measurements of electro-osmotic transport in clayey cores extracted from the 27-31 m depth range of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory site indicate the importance of pH control within the anode and cathode reservoirs. In our first experiment, pH was not controlled. As a result, carbonate precipitation and metals precipitation occurred near the cathode end of the core, with acidification near the anode. The combination of these acid and base reactions led to the decline of electroosmotic flow by a factor of 2 in less than one pore volume. In a second experiment, long-term water transport (>21 pore volumes) at stable electro-osmotic conductivity (k[sub eo] ∼ 1 × 10[sup -9] m²/s-V) was effected with anode reservoir pH > 8, and cathode reservoir pH < 6. Hydraulic conductivity (k[sub h]) of the same core was 4 × 10[sup -10] m/s under a 0.07 MPa hydraulic gradient without electro-osmosis. Stable electro-osmotic flow was measured at a velocity of 4 × 10[sup -7] m/s under a 4 V/cm voltage gradient, and no hydraulic gradient—3 orders of magnitude greater than the hydraulic flow. We also observed chloroform production in the anode reservoir, resulting from electrochemical production of chlorine gas reacting with trace organics. The chloroform was transported electro-osmotically to the cathode, without measurable loss to adsorption, volatilization, or degradation.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 270 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 2750 EP - 2758 SN - 00142956 AB - We have isolated and characterized a second [Fe]-hydrogenase gene from the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . The HydA2 gene encodes a protein of 505 amino acids that is 74% similar and 68% identical to the known HydA1 hydrogenase from C. reinhardtii. HydA2 contains all the conserved residues and motifs found in the catalytic core of the family of [Fe]-hydrogenases. We demonstrate that both the HydA1 and the HydA2 transcripts are expressed upon anaerobic induction, achieved either by neutral gas purging or by sulfur deprivation of the cultures. Furthermore, the expression levels of both transcripts are regulated (in some cases differently) by incubation conditions, such as the length of anaerobiosis, the readdition of O2 , the presence of acetate, and/or the absence of nutrients such as sulfate during growth. Antibodies specific for HydA2 recognized a protein of about 49 kDa in extracts from anaerobically induced C. reinhardtii cells, strongly suggesting that HydA2 encodes for an expressed protein. Homology-based 3D modeling of the HydA2 hydrogenase shows that its catalytic site models well to the known structure of Clostridium pasteurianum CpI, including the H2 -gas channel. The major differences between HydA1, HydA2 and CpI are the absence of the N-terminal Fe-S centers and the existence of extra sequences in the algal enzymes. To our knowledge, this work represents the first systematic study of expression of two algal [Fe]-hydrogenases in the same organism.

The CUMULVS (Collaborative, User Migration, User Library for Visualization and Steering) system, developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is an essential platform for interacting with high-performance scientific simulation programs on-the-fly. It provides runtime visualization of data while they are being computed, as well as coordinated computational steering, application-directed checkpointing and fault recovery mechanisms, and rudimentary model coupling functions. CUMULVS consists of a set of cooperative libraries that enable the dynamic attachment of front-end “viewer” programs to running applications, for interactive visualization of extracted data snapshots using a variety of visualization tools. A development strategy will be presented for integrating CUMULVS with the given visualization libraries and environments, including discussion of the various data transformations and the visualization pipeline necessary for converting raw CUMULVS data into fully rendered graphical entities. In addition to the immersive VR CUMULVS viewer, an overview of the object-based AVS/Express CUMULVS viewer design will be presented, including discussion of the various components, modules, macros and user interfaces. A comparison will be made of the two viewer design approaches.

Intact soil cores containing P. secunda were reciprocally transplanted between two elevations. Plants and soils were examined, respectively, 4.5 and 5 years later. The lower elevation (310 m) site is warmer (28.5 °C air average monthly maximum) and drier (224 mm yr-1 ) than the upper elevation (844 m) site (23.5 °C air average monthly maximum, 272 mm yr-1 ). Observations were also made on undisturbed plants at both sites. There was no effect of climate change on plant density, shoot biomass, or carbon isotope discrimination in either transplanted plant population. The cooler, wetter environment significantly reduced percent cover and leaf length, while the warmer, drier environment had no effect. Warming and drying reduced percent shoot nitrogen, while the cooler, wetter environment had no effect. Culm density was zero for the lower elevation plants transplanted to the upper site and was 10.3 culms m-2 at the lower site. There was no effect of warming and drying on the culm density of the upper elevation plants. Culm density of in situ lower elevation plants was greater than that of the in situ upper elevation plants. Warming and drying reduced total soil carbon 32% and total soil nitrogen 40%. The cooler, wetter environment had no effect on total soil C or N. Of the C and N that was lost over time, 64% of both came from the particulate organic matter fraction (POM, > 53 µ m). There was no effect of warming and drying on the upper population of P. secunda while exposing the lower population to the cooler, wetter environment reduced reproductive effort and percent cover. With the warmer and drier conditions that may develop with climate change, total C and N of semiarid soils may decrease with the active fraction of soil C also rapidly decreasing, which may alter ecosystem...

Elemental concentrations were measured for each sherd using both neutron activation analysis and particle-induced X-ray emission. By using principal components analysis and posterior discriminant analysis, it was possible to compositionally distinguish lower Ohio Valley ceramics from ceramic samples collected from archaeological sites located in the southeastern part of the United States. Similar statistical analyses applied to an examination of the elemental composition of Caborn-Welborn ceramics and their distribution within the Caborn-Welborn region documented minimal variation between the samples based on either site location or ceramic type. Ceramics classified as Caborn-Welborn as well as central Mississippi Valley types and Oneota-like sherds recovered from Caborn-Welborn sites appear to have been locally produced from similar clays. However, the clays used to produce ceramic vessels differed from those used as daub on house walls.

A short history of the technique is given, starting from the early 1970s up to the present time. This is followed by a summary of radical detection and gas phase interaction results aimed towards achieving a basic understanding of this process. Next, issues particular to HWCVD growth are presented. These deal mainly with the filament, and include different methods of mounting filaments, filament contamination issues, filament alloying and its effect on both filament lifetime and film properties, and substrate heating by the filament. Differences between PECVD and HWCVD growth are then summarized, and this is followed by examples of research results indicating unique film properties. Included in these examples are works on amorphous silicon, microcrystalline silicon, silicon nitride, and a new technique for deposition of large grained poly Si by utilizing the etching of silicon by atomic hydrogen produced by the filament. Finally, the future prospects of HWCVD are briefly discussed.

The creation efficiency as well as its kinetics is essentially the same between 4 and 300 K despite drastic changes in the recombination processes. Defects are created with the same spin signature but with greatly different thermal stability and electron capture cross sections. There appears to be a strong link between the latter two properties. The creation-annealing hystereses of free carrier lifetime and defect concentration are explained. The SWE is reduced in high electric fields at 4.2 K suggesting the possible importance of non-radiative geminate recombinations. The validity of accepted rate equations for the SWE excited by cw and laser pulses is questioned. Evidence for long-lived (∼10 μs) precursors of SWE defect creation is presented. Problems with existing SWE models and understanding of defect capture properties are formulated.

A brief restatement of key model features and assumptions is followed by a review of recent, related, experimental and theoretical studies. Experimental tests and discoveries support several predictions and requirements of the model, including observation of (1) H pairing in the metastability final state, (2) a new timescale in defect creation, (3) an extremely high diffusion rate of mobile H and (4) room-temperature light-induced H motion. However, an experiment in a-SiGe:H casts doubt on the assumption of quasi-equilibration between the mobile H and dangling bonds. Theorists and modelers devised microscopic proposals for paired H in the metastability final state, but no entirely successful picture has emerged.

We discuss a recently developed network-rebonding model involving bonding rearrangements of silicon and hydrogen atoms. Using tight-binding molecular dynamics we find non-radiative recombination can break weak silicon bonds with low activation energies, producing dangling bond–floating bond pairs. The transient floating bonds annihilate generating local hydrogen motion and leaving behind isolated dangling bonds. Charged defects are also observed. Major experimental features of metastability including electron-spin resonance, t1/3 kinetics, dangling-bond H anti-correlation, and hysteretic annealing are explained. In the second part we focus on large metastable structural changes observed in a-Si:H. We find H atoms have a local metastability involving the flipping of the H to the backside of the Si–H bond that results in a local increase of strain and increase of dipole moments. This naturally explains the larger infrared absorption found after light soaking, and may be related to other large structural changes in the network. Directions for future research are surveyed.

Here a novel approach for constructing soil transport algorithms for multimedia fate models is developed and evaluated. The resulting algorithms account for diffusion in gas and liquid components; advection in gas, liquid, or solid phases; and multiple transformation processes. They also provide an explicit quantification of the characteristic soil penetration depth. We construct a compartment model using three and four soil layers to replicate with high reliability the flux and mass distribution obtained from the exact analytical solution describing the transient dispersion, advection, and transformation of chemicals in soil layers with different properties but a fixed boundary condition at the air-soil surface. The soil compartment algorithms can be dynamically linked to other compartments (air, vegetation, groundwater, surface water)in multimedia fate models. We demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the algorithms in a model with applications to benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, MTBE, TCDD, and tritium.

The tracer tests were conducted before and after a controlled infiltration event to evaluate performance at two water contents. Nonpartitioning (sulfur hexafluoride) and waterpartitioning (difluoromethane) tracers were injected into the test zone, and their effluent breakthrough curves were analyzed using the method of moments to calculate retardation factors for difluoromethane. Soil-water contents estimated using the tracer data were compared to soilwater contents obtained independently using gravimetric core analysis, neutron scattering, and bore-hole ground penetrating radar. For the test conducted under drier soil conditions, the soil-water content estimated from the tracer test was identical to the independently measured values of 8.6% (equivalent to water saturation of 23%). For the test conducted under wetter soil conditions, the tracer test derived soil-water content was 81% of the independently measured values of 12.2% (equivalent to water saturation of 32%). The reduced efficacy at the higher soil-water content may reflect the impact of advective and/ or diffusive mass transfer constraints on gas-phase transport. The results presented herein indicate that the partitioning tracer method is an effective technique to measure soil-water content at the field scale, especially for sites with moderate to low soil-water contents.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/07/31/ VL - 424 IS - 6948 M3 - Article SP - 511 EP - 515 SN - 00280836 AB - Photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) offer greatly enhanced design freedom compared to standard optical fibres. For example, they allow precise control of the chromatic dispersion (CD) profile-the frequency dependence of propagation speed-over a broad wavelength range. This permits studies of nonlinear pulse propagation in previously inaccessible parameter regimes. Here we report on spectral broadening of 100-fs pulses in PCFs with anomalously flat CD profiles. Maps of the spectral and spatio-temporal behaviour as a function of power show that dramatic conversion (to both longer and shorter wavelengths) can occur in remarkably short lengths of fibre, depending on the magnitude and shape of the CD profile. Because the PCFs used are single-mode at all wavelengths, the light always emerges in a fundamental guided mode. Excellent agreement is obtained between the experimental results and numerical solutions of the nonlinear wave equation, indicating that the underlying processes can be reliably modelled. These results show how, through appropriate choice of CD, nonlinearities can be efficiently harnessed to generate laser light at new wavelengths.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/07/31/ VL - 424 IS - 6948 M3 - Article SP - 530 EP - 532 SN - 00280836 AB - Homogeneous catalysts-which exist in the same (usually liquid) phase as reactants and products-are usually more selective than heterogeneous catalysts and far less affected by limitations due to slow transport of reactants and products, but their separation from reaction products can be costly and inefficient. This has stimulated the development of strategies that facilitate the recycling of homogeneous catalysts[SUP1-4]. Some of these methods exploit the preference of a catalyst for one of two solvents with thermoregulated miscibility[SUP5,6]; others exploit a dramatic decrease in catalyst solubility as one reagent is consumed[SUP7,8] or temperature changed after completion of the reaction[SUP9-14]. Here we describe a tungsten catalyst for the solvent-free hydrosilylation of ketones that retains its activity until essentially all of the liquid substrate is converted to liquid products, which we can then simply decant to separate the catalyst that precipitates from the products of the reaction. We attribute the ability of the catalyst to retain its solubility and hence activity until completion of the reaction to the transient formation of liquid clathrate[SUP15,16] that contains a few molecules of the substrate per molecule of the otherwise solid catalyst. Insights into the fundamental processes controlling the formation of this liquid clathrate might help to tailor other catalysts and substrates, so as to develop efficient and solvent-free schemes for reactions of practical interest.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/07/31/ VL - 424 IS - 6948 M3 - Article SP - 539 EP - 542 SN - 00280836 AB - Data from the survivors of the atomic bombs serve as the major basis for risk calculations of radiation-induced cancer in humans[SUP1]. A controversy has existed for almost two decades, however, concerning the possibility that neutron doses in Hiroshima may have been much larger than estimated. This controversy was based on measurements of radioisotopes activated by thermal neutrons that suggested much higher fluences at larger distances than expected[SUP2-6]. For fast neutrons, which contributed almost all the neutron dose, clear measurements validation has so far proved impossible at the large distances (900 to 1,500 m) most relevant to survivor locations.[SUP6]. Here, the first results are reported for the detection of (63)Ni produced predominantly by fast neutrons (above about 1 MeV) in copper samples from Hiroshima. This breakthrough was made possible by the development of chemical extraction methods[SUP7,8] and major improvements in the sensitivity of accelerator mass spectrometry for detection of [SUP63]Ni atoms (refs 8-11). When results are compared with [SUP63]Ni activation predicted by neutron doses for Hiroshima survivors[SUP6], good agreement is observed at the distances most relevant to survivor data. These findings provide, for the first time, clear measurement validation of the neutron doses to survivors in Hiroshima.

Focusing on California''s South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) as a case study, we combine ambient monitoring data with time-activity patterns to estimate the population intake of carbon monoxide and benzene emitted from motor vehicles during 1996–1999. In addition to exposures to ambient concentrations, three microenvironments are considered in which the exposure concentration of motor vehicle emissions is higher than in ambient air: in and near vehicles, inside a building that is near a freeway, and inside a residence with an attached garage. Incorporating data on motor vehicle emissions estimated by the EMFAC2000 model, we estimate that the 15 million people in the SoCAB inhale 0.003–0.009% (34–85 per million, with a best estimate of 47 per million) of primary, nonreactive compounds emitted into the basin by motor vehicles. This population intake of primary motor vehicle emissions is approximately 50% higher than the average ambient concentration times the average breathing rate, owing to higher concentrations in the three microenvironments and also to the temporal and spatial correlation among breathing rates, concentrations, and population densities. The approach demonstrated here can inform policy decisions requiring a metric of population exposure to airborne pollutants.

TGME and DBM have been identified as possible diesel additives based on their physicochemical characteristics and performance in engine tests. Although these compounds will reduce particulate emissions, their potential environmental impacts are unknown. As a means of characterizing their persistence in environmental media such as soil and groundwater, we conducted a series of biodegradation tests of DBM and TGME. Benzene and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) were also tested as reference compounds. Primary degradation of DBM fully occurred within 3 days, while TGME presented a lag phase of approximately 8 days and was not completely degraded by day 28. Benzene primary degradation occurred completely by day 3 and MTBE did not degrade at all. The total mineralized fractions of DBM and TGME achieved constant values as a function of time of ∼65% and ∼40%, respectively. Transport predictions show that, released to the environment, DBM and TGME would concentrate mostly in soils and waters with minimal impact to air. From an environmental standpoint, these results combined with the transport predictions indicate that DBM is a better choice than TGME as a diesel additive.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 59 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 293 EP - 310 SN - 01650009 AB - In this paper, we present a method to quantify the effectiveness of carbon mitigation options taking into account the `permanence' of the emissions reduction. While the issue of permanence is most commonly associated with a `leaky' carbon sequestration reservoir, we argue that this is an issue that applies to just about all carbon mitigation options. The appropriate formulation of this problem is to ask `what is the value of temporary storage?' Valuing temporary storage can be represented as a familiar economic problem, with explicitly stated assumptions about carbon prices and the discount rate. To illustrate the methodology, we calculate the sequestration effectiveness for injecting CO2 at various depths in the ocean. Analysis is performed for three limiting carbon price assumptions: constant carbon prices (assumes constant marginal damages), carbon prices rise at the discount rate (assumes efficient allocation of a cumulative emissions cap without a backstop technology), and carbon prices first rise at the discount rate but become constant after a given time (assumes introduction of a backstop technology). Our results show that the value of relatively deep ocean carbon sequestration can be nearly equivalent to permanent sequestration if marginal damages (i.e., carbon prices) remain constant or if there is a backstop technology that caps the abatement cost in the not too distant future. On the other hand, if climate damages are such as to require a fixed cumulative emissions limit and there is no backstop, then a storage option with even very slow leakage has limited value relative to a permanent storage option.

SN - 00103616 AB - This paper shows that the Camassa-Holm (CH) spectral problem yields two different integrable hierarchies of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs), one is of negative order CH hierachy while the other one is of positive order CH hierarchy. The two CH hierarchies possess the zero curvature representations through solving a key matrix equation. We see that the well-known CH equation is included in the negative order CH hierarchy while the Dym type equation is included in the positive order CH hierarchy. Furthermore, under two constraint conditions between the potentials and the eigenfunctions, the CH spectral problem is cast in: 1. a new Neumann-like N-dimensional system when it is restricted into a symplectic submanifold of ℝ2N which is proven to be integrable by using the Dirac-Poisson bracket and the r-matrix process; and 2. a new Bargmann-like N-dimensional system when it is considered in the whole ℝ2N which is proven to be integrable by using the standard Poisson bracket and the r-matrix process.

The two composites had the same urea/urethane matrix and were reinforced with stitch-bonded carbon-fiber mats, in a crossply layup in one case, and in a quasi-isotropic layup in the other. All properties were determined over a temperature range from −40 to 120 °C, and the degradation of the properties due to distilled water and windshield washer fluid was established. In all cases, two fiber orientations of the crossply, 0/90° and ±45°, relative to the specimen axes were addressed. As expected, matrix-dominated properties were degraded more by rising temperatures than were fiber-dominated properties. Fluid had only a modest effect in both cases. Basic fatigue behavioral characteristics were established through tensile fatigue tests over the temperature range of interest. An assessment of fatigue test results for the two composites revealed differences in a progressive loss in stiffness and an increase in permanent strain, both of which are indicative of increasing damage. In all cases, fatigue reduction factors were established to account for the effects of temperature and fluids.

The primary issue was that the TCP additive increase/multiplicative decrease (AIMD) algorithm is not suitable for “long fat networks”. While this is a known problem, the magnitude of the impact on application performance was much greater than anticipated. We were able to overcome much of the impact, by altering the AIMD coefficients. Such an approach, of course, is non-TCP compliant, and there was insufficient time to test the network friendliness of these modifications.

The measurements of the near-traction-free vibrational frequencies of the sphere are matched with the predicted frequencies from the dynamic theory of elasticity, with optimized estimates for the elastic constants driving the differences between these sets of frequencies to a minimal value. The present computational model, although based on earlier approaches, is the first application of RUS to trigonal-symmetry spheres. Quartz shows six independent elastic constants, and our estimates of these constants are close to those computed by other means. Except for C14 , after a 1% mass-density correction, natural quartz and cultured quartz show the same elastic constants. Natural quartz shows higher internal frictions.

Many versions of this worm have propagated prolifically, and numerous variants of this worm have appeared during the few months since the initial Sobig worm surfaced. This paper discusses the Sobig worm variants, how they differ from each other, considerations in responding to Sobig infections, and the implications of and “lessons learned” from Sobig’s constant onslaught.

However, most initial attempts to engineer phytoremediation of Cd have not succeeded in developing sufficient Cd tolerance for vigorous plant growth. • We found that the bacterial arsenate reductase gene (arsC ) provided Cd(II) resistance to Escherichia coli . When ArsC is overexpressed in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum ) and Arabidopsis thaliana , both transgenic plant species showed significantly greater Cd tolerance than wild-type controls. • At 50, 75, and 100 µm concentrations of Cd (II), the ArsC expressing transgenic lines grew bigger with broader leaves and longer roots than wild-type controls, which were stunted, turned yellow, flowered early, and often died. At the various Cd(II) concentrations, ArsC transgenic plants attained f. wt 2–3-fold higher than the wild-type plants and had roots significantly longer than wild-type plants. These transgenic plants also contained 30–50% higher Cd concentrations than wild-type plants. • It is likely that the arsC gene directs Cd tolerance via the electrochemical reduction of Cd(II) to Cd(0).

We show that the step-length control parameter which appears in the definition of pattern search algorithms provides a reliable asymptotic measure of first-order stationarity. This gives an analytical justification for a traditional stopping criterion for pattern search methods. Using this measure of first-order stationarity we both revisit the global convergence properties of pattern search and analyze the behavior of pattern search in the neighborhood of an isolated local minimizer.

This mechanism, which appears to be an electrochemical process involving the soda-lime glass superstrate with its conductive SnO2:F layer, can be greatly accelerated by subjecting modules to elevated temperatures and humidity, both of which increase the leakage currents between the frame and the active PV layers. Water vapor can affect the module damage in two ways: (1) by enhancing leakage currents, and (2) by entering through the module edges, it appears to promote the chemical reaction responsible for the SnO2 corrosion. Damage has been found to occur in both a-Si and CdTe modules.

JO - Lancet JF - Lancet Y1 - 2003/08/09/ VL - 362 IS - 9382 M3 - Article SP - 440 SN - 00995355 AB - Background Werner's syndrome is a progeroid syndrome caused by mutations at the WRN helicase locus. Some features of this disorder are also present in laminopathies caused by mutant LMNA encoding nuclear lamin A/C. Because of this similarity, we sequenced LMNA in individuals with atypical Werner's syndrome (wild-type WRN). Methods Of 129 index patients referred to our international registry for molecular diagnosis of Werner's syndrome, 26 (20%) had wildtype WRN coding regions and were categorised as having atypical Werner's syndrome on the basis of molecular criteria. We sequenced all exons of LMNA in these individuals. Mutations were confirmed at the mRNA level by RT-PCR sequencing. In one patient in whom an LMNA mutation was detected and fibroblasts were available, we established nuclear morphology and subnuclear localisation. Findings In four (15%) of 26 patients with atypical Werner's syndrome, we noted heterozygosity for novel missense mutations in LMNA, specifically A57P, R133L (in two people), and L140R. The mutations altered relatively conserved residues within lamin A/C. Fibroblasts from the patient with the L140R mutation had a substantially enhanced proportion of nuclei with altered morphology and mislocalised lamins. Individuals with atypical Werner's syndrome with mutations in LMNA had a more severe phenotype than did those with the disorder due to mutant WRN. Interpretation Our findings indicate that Werner's syndrome is molecularly heterogeneous, and a subset of the disorder can be judged a laminopathy.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/08/21/ VL - 424 IS - 6951 M3 - Article SP - 912 SN - 00280836 AB - High-temperature superconductivity is achieved by doping copper oxide insulators with charge carriers. The density of carriers in conducting materials can be determined from measurements of the Hall voltage-the voltage transverse to the flow of the electrical current that is proportional to an applied magnetic field. In common metals, this proportionality (the Hall coefficient) is robustly temperature independent. This is in marked contrast to the behaviour seen in high-temperature superconductors when in the ‘normal’ (resistive) state; the departure from expected behaviour is a key signature of the unconventional nature of the normal state, the origin of which remains a central controversy in condensed matter physics. Here we report the evolution of the low-temperature Hall coefficient in the normal state as the carrier density is increased, from the onset of superconductivity and beyond (where superconductivity has been suppressed by a magnetic field). Surprisingly, the Hall coefficient does not vary monotonically with doping but rather exhibits a sharp change at the optimal doping level for superconductivity. This observation supports the idea that two competing ground states underlie the high-temperature superconducting phase.

Several unusual features, including a large elastic anisotropy, a small-shear elastic modulus C', a Kohn-like anomaly in the T[sub1][011] branch, and a pronounced softening of the [111] transverse modes, are found. These features can be related to the phase transitions of plutonium and to strong coupling between the lattice structure and the 5f valence instabilities. Our results also provide a critical test for theoretical treatments of highly correlated 5f electron systems as exemplified by recent dynamical mean field theory calculations for δ-plutonium.

Here we have sequenced and analysed the 2.4-megabase genome of Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102, revealing some of the ways that these organisms have adapted to their largely oligotrophic environment. WH8102 uses organic nitrogen and phosphorus sources and more sodium-dependent transporters than a model freshwater cyanobacterium. Furthermore, it seems to have adopted strategies for conserving limited iron stores by using nickel and cobalt in some enzymes, has reduced its regulatory machinery (consistent with the fact that the open ocean constitutes a far more constant and buffered environment than fresh water), and has evolved a unique type of swimming motility. The genome of WH8102 seems to have been greatly influenced by horizontal gene transfer, partially through phages. The genetic material contributed by horizontal gene transfer includes genes involved in the modification of the cell surface and in swimming motility. On the basis of its genome, WH8102 is more of a generalist than two related marine cyanobacteria.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/08/28/ VL - 424 IS - 6952 M3 - Article SP - 1042 SN - 00280836 AB - The marine unicellular cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the smallest-known oxygen-evolving autotroph. It numerically dominates the phytoplankton in the tropical and subtropical oceans, and is responsible for a significant fraction of global photosynthesis. Here we compare the genomes of two Prochlorococcus strains that span the largest evolutionary distance within the Prochlorococcus lineage and that have different minimum, maximum and optimal light intensities for growth. The high-light-adapted ecotype has the smallest genome (1,657,990 base pairs, 1,716 genes) of any known oxygenic phototroph, whereas the genome of its low-light-adapted counterpart is significantly larger, at 2,410,873 base pairs (2,275 genes). The comparative architectures of these two strains reveal dynamic genomes that are constantly changing in response to myriad selection pressures. Although the two strains have 1,350 genes in common, a significant number are not shared, and these have been differentially retained from the common ancestor, or acquired through duplication or lateral transfer. Some of these genes have obvious roles in determining the relative fitness of the ecotypes in response to key environmental variables, and hence in regulating their distribution and abundance in the oceans.

JO - Applied Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Applied Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 18 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 708 SN - 1047322X AB - Beryllium operations and accompanying medical surveillance of workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory began in the 1940s. In 1999 a Former Workers Medical Surveillance Program that includes screening for chronic beryllium disease was initiated. As part of this program, historical beryllium exposure conditions were reconstructed from archived paper and electronic industrial hygiene data sources to improve understanding of past beryllium uses and airborne concentration levels. Archived industrial hygiene sampling reports indicated beryllium was principally used in technical areas-01 and -03, primarily being machined. Beryllium was also used at 15 other technical areas in activities that ranged from explosives detonation to the manufacture of X-ray windows. A total of 4528 personal breathing zone and area air samples for beryllium, combined for purposes of calculating summary statistics, were identified during the records review phase. The geometric mean airborne beryllium concentration for the period 1949-1989 for all technical areas was 0.04 μg Be/m 3 with 97 percent of all sample below the 2.0 μg Be/m 3 occupational exposure limit (OEL). Average beryllium concentrations per decade were less than 1 μg Be/m 3 and annual geometric mean concentrations in technical area-03, the largest user of beryllium, were generally below 0.1 μg Be/m 3 , indicating exposure was generally well-controlled, that is, below the OEL. Typical of many retrospective exposure assessments, not all archived data could be extracted and summarized. Despite this, we report a reasonable summary of potential beryllium uses and airborne concentration levels a worker may have encountered from 1949-1989. These data can be used to more effectively identify former worker populations at potential risk for chronic beryllium disease and to offer these workers screening as part of the Former Worker Medical Surveillance Program, and in the event that a case is diagnosed, help to understand historical exposure conditions.

This paper studies the natural closure properies of Minkowski sums and scalar dilation. It gives an extension of the underlying vector space structure that enables the study of an arithmetic on the abstract points of their associated spectra. This arithmetic satisfies certain cancellation principles that motivates an investigation into an algebraic object weaker than a group and culminates with a version of the Jordan-Hölder theorem. With the subsequent definition of dimension we show that the collection of affine real ultrafilters in Kn is n-dimensional over the scalar ultrafilters.

Our method is particularly attractive when the entire data set does not fit in memory and when the sampling rate is high relative to the feature size of the scalar field in all dimensions. Although we report results for and data sets, the proposed approach may be applied to higher dimensions. The method is based on the new Lorenzo predictor, introduced here, which estimates the value of the scalar field at each sample from the values at processed neighbors. The predicted values are exact when the n-dimensional scalar field is an implicit polynomial of degree. Surprisingly,when the residuals (differences between the actual and predicted values) are encoded using arithmetic coding,the proposed method often outperforms wavelet compression in an sense. The proposed approach may be used both for lossy and lossless compression and is well suited for out-of-core compression and decompression,because a trivial implementation, which sweeps through the data set reading it once, requires maintaining only a small buffer in core memory, whose size barely exceeds a single ( n−1)- dimensional slice of the data.

Biomonitoring tools are essential to assess the health of ecosystems and their component parts, including humans. While field and laboratory data are available, two critical issues to our understanding of bioavailability are often missing: 1) knowing the relationship between dose and tissue concentrations, and 2) species extrapolations. Understanding of high to low dose extrapolation is also critical. Methods to understand the importance of host factors in bioavailability of metals must assess gender, age, nutritional status, individual variability, temporal changes, and critical habitat effects. Methods to examine these variables include correlational, observational, experimental, epidemiological, and modeling studies, or a combination of these. Data gaps include developing more representative studies of human and animal populations, better analytical tools for rapid determination of metal content in the field, improved analytical characterization of metal bioavailability, and concurrent studies of different metals.

JO - Environmental Technology JF - Environmental Technology Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 24 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1087 EP - 1095 SN - 09593330 AB - The present paper reports experimental results on the removal of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from simulated flue gas using a copper oxide coated on alumina sorbent/catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method. Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by ammonia over sol-gel derived CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbents/catalysts with different degrees of sulfation was studied in a fixed-bed packed reactor. The optimum temperature for NO reduction was found at 350°C for both fresh and sulfated catalysts. The properties for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO by the sol-gel-derived CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbents were studied using simulated dry flue gas. The optimum operating temperature for the combined deSO2/deNO operations was identified at 350 °C. At the space velocity of 5200 h-1 and 350°C, a fixed-bed reactor packed with the 7.9 wt% CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbent prepared by the sol-gel method offers SO2 sorption capacity of 2.3 mmol g-1 and NO conversion of 92% with a dry simulated flue gas as the feed. Under these experimental conditions, the sol-gel derived sorbents/catalysts have comparable efficiency for removal of SO2 and NOx as their commercial counterparts. The significantly higher crush strength of the sol-gel derived sorbents/catalysts make them very promising for their use in the copper oxide process for combined removal of SO2 and NOx from flue gas in a single unit operation.

T1 - Late Quaternary lake-level changes constrained by radiocarbon and stable isotope studies on sediment cores from Lake Titicaca, South America JO - Global & Planetary Change JF - Global & Planetary Change Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 38 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 273 SN - 09218181 AB - We present and compare AMS-14C geochronologies for sediment cores recovered from Lake Titicaca, South America. Radiocarbon dates from three core sites constrain the timing of late Quaternary paleoenvironmental changes in the Central Andes and highlight the site-specific factors that limit the radiocarbon geochronometer. With the exception of mid-Holocene sediments, all cores are generally devoid of macrophyte fragments, thus bulk organic fractions are used to build core chronologies. Comparisons of radiocarbon results for chemically defined fractions (bulk decalcified, humate, humin) suggest that ages derived from all fractions are generally coherent in the post-13,500 yr BP time interval. In the pre-13,500 yr BP time interval, ages derived from humate extracts are significantly younger (300–7000 years) than ages from paired humin residues. Gross age incoherencies between paired humate and humin sub-fractions in pre-13,500 yr BP sediments from all core sites probably reflect the net downward migration of humates. Ages derived from bulk decalcified fractions at our shallow water (90 m) and deep water (230 m) core sites consistently fall between ages derived from humate and humin sub-fractions in the pre-13,500 yr BP interval, reflecting that the bulk decalcified fraction is predominantly a mixture of humate and humin sub-fractions. Bulk decalcified ages from the pre-13,500 yr BP interval at our intermediate depth core site (150 m) are consistently older than humate (youngest) and humin sub-fractions. This uniform, reproducible pattern can be explained by the mobilization of a relatively older organic sub-fraction during and after the re-acidification step following the alkaline treatment of the bulk sediment. The inferred existence of this ‘alkali-mobile, acid-soluble’ sub-fraction implies a different depositional/post-depositional history that is potentially associated with a difference in source material. While internally consistent geochronologies can be developed for the Lake Titicaca sequence using different organic fractions, mobile organic sub-fractions and fractions containing mobile sub-fractions should generally be avoided in geochronology studies. Consequently, we believe humin and/or bulk decalcified ages provide the most consistent chronologies for the post-13,500 yr BP interval, and humin ages provide the most representative ages for sedimentation prior to 13,500 yr BP interval.Using the age model derived from the deep water core site and a previously published isotope-based lake-level reconstruction, we present a qualitative record of lake level in the context of several ice-core records from the western hemisphere. We find the latest Pleistocene lake-level response to changing insolation began during or just prior to the Bølling/Allerød period. Using the isotope-based lake-level reconstruction, we also find the 85-m drop in lake level that occurred during the mid-Holocene was synchronous with an increase in the variability of ice-core δ18O from a nearby icecap, but was not reflected in any of the polar ice-core records recovered from the interior of Antarctica and Greenland.

Upon review of this result, there appear to be several philosophical and technical issues that invalidate the result including the use of a resettling condition and the lack of boundedness of the learning estimate. The intent of this comment is to highlight these technical errors, especially since the boundedness of the learning estimate has historically been a problematic issue.

Existing methods use both local features and global layout information. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm based on the global matching of Component Block Projections (CBP), which are the concatenated directional projection vectors of the component blocks of a document image. Compared to those existing methods, CBP-based template-matching methods possess two major advantages: 1) The spatial relationship among the component blocks of a document image is better represented, hence a very high matching accuracy can be obtained even for a large template set and seriously distorted input images; and 2) the effective matching distance of each template and the triangle inequality are proposed to significantly reduce the computational cost. Our experimental results confirm these advantages and show that the CBP-based template-matching methods are very suitable for DIR applications.

Next, we point out that insight into the scarcity value of an ecosystem service can be gained generally by examining the manner in which the state of an ecosystem responds to changes in environmental conditions. Following this, we specialize our discussion to the case of eutrophication in lakes. This leads us to pose and analyze a stochastic control problem of lake management in which ecological thresholds are salient. Finally, we show that this stochastic control theoretic framework can be used to obtain a numerical value that is closely related to the scarcity value of an ecosystem service provided by lakes.

This architecture is customizable to different classes of applications by functional unit, interconnect, and memory parameters, and can be instantiated efficiently on platform FPGAs. In previous work [IEEE Micro 22(5) (2002)], we have demonstrated the advantage of reconfigurable fabrics for image and signal processing applications. Recently, we have build a fabric generator (FG), a Java-based toolset that greatly accelerates construction of the fabrics. A module-generation library is used to define, instantiate, and interconnect cells’ datapaths. FG also generates customized sequencers for individual cells or collections of cells. We describe the fabric-based system model, the FG toolset, and concrete realizations of fabric architectures generated by FG on the Altera Excalibur ARM that can deliver 4.5 GigaMACs/s (8/16 bit data, multiply-accumulate).

A pressure vessel under internal high explosive detonation pressure is typically subjected to two distinct types of loading. Dozens of vessels have been designed, fabricated, and used over the past several decades, even prior to the cessation of underground nuclear testing in 1992. Failure can occur only after the vessel stretches and bends, that is, after the initial impulse has disappeared and the absorption of the impulsive energy begins. Since the limited underground nuclear weapons test ban went into effect, a number of these controlled experiments have been conducted to help model the behavior of explosions and their effects on surrogate materials.

We demonstrate that the definition of catalyst nanoparticles is the critical step that enables growth of individual, long-length fibres and discuss methods for catalyst particle preparation that allow the growth of individual isolated nanofibres from catalyst dots with diameters as large as 500 nm. This development enables photolithographic definition of catalyst and therefore the inexpensive, large-scale production of such arrays.

There has been a gradual increase in species richness and cover, but only 61% of the species present on the mountain before the eruption have established on the debris avalanche deposit. Plant cover averages 38% and is extremely patchy. Life form composition changed over successional time, because part of the avalanche deposit was invaded by introduced plant species aerially seeded to reduce erosion, the site offers the opportunity to compare successional processes occurring with and without introduced species. Long-term recovery trends and effects of nonnative species on succession are important to understand since plant reestablishment practices often rely on nonnative species for enhancing vegetation recovery of denuded sites along road sides, strip mines, or other human-generated clearing. Fifteen years after the eruption and 10 years since the invasion by introduced species, plots invaded by nonnative species had greater vegetation cover and more native plant richness than plots that were not inundated. Significantly greater mortality of conifers occurred in the plots dominated by introduced species shortly after the invasion of those species, but no difference in conifer mortality occurred in the last 5 years. Even so, the plots dominated by introduced species still have fewer conifer trees. Thus, the short-term pulse of conifer mortality after the invasion of introduced species may have long-term effects on the recovery of the dominant vegetation. It will likely be decades before there is 100% plant cover on the debris avalanche deposit and a century or more before full recovery of the vegetation system.

Here u = g * m denotes U(x) = ∫&ifin;-∞g(x-y)m(y) dy. This convolution (or filtering) relates velocity u to momentum density m by integration against the kernel g(x). we shall choose g(x) to be an even function so that u and m have the dame parity under spatial reflection. When v=0, this equations is both reversible in time and parity invariant. We shall study the effects of the balance parameter and the kernel g(x) on the solitary wave structures and investigate their interactions analytically for v=0 and numerically for small or zero viscosity. This family of equations admits the classic Burgers "ramps and cliffs" solutions, which are stable for -1 1, the Burgers ramps and cliffs are again unsuitable. The stable solitary travelling wave for b > 1 and v = o is the "pulson" u(x,t) = cg(x - ct), which restricts to the "peakon" in the special case g)x) = e-lxl/α when m = u - α²uxx. Nonlinear interactions among these pulsons or peakons are governed by the superposition of solutions for b > 1 and v = 0, ... These pulson solutions obey a finite-dimensional dynamical system for the time-dependent speeds pi(t) and positions qi(t). we study the pulson and peakon interactions analytically, and we determine their fate numerically under adding viscosity. Finally, as outlook, we propose an n-dimensional vector version of this evolutionary equation with convection and stretching, namely ... for a defining relation, u = G * m. These solutions show quasi-one-dimensional behavior for n,k = 2,1 that we find numerically to be stable for b = 2. The corresponding superposed solutions of the vector b-equation in n dimensions exists, with coordinates X &lsin; Rn, s &lsin; Rk, n - k > 0, and 2N parameters Pi(s,t), Qi(s,t) &lsin; Rn, ...

RR Lyrae stars are excellent tracers of old and metal-poor populations. We measured the kinematics of 43 RR Lyrae stars in the inner regions of the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) galaxy. The velocity dispersion equals 53 ± 10 kilometers per second, which indicates that a kinematically hot metal-poor old halo also exists in the LMC. This result suggests that our galaxy and smaller late-type galaxies such as the LMC have similar early formation histories.

Participants in a design charrette brainstormed ideas about the future of US homes and workplaces. The teams started from several descriptions of daily lifestyles, and developed specific building characteristics as the place settings for these narratives. In addition to characterizing the physical environment, the teams also identified the forces that would be influential in making these changes. Further reflection was made on the possible unintended consequences of these changes. The energy implications of these changes were characterized with respect to magnitude and direction. While acknowledging the speculative nature of the exercise, the rationale was to broaden the discussion on future energy use by looking at future scenarios in the context of everyday life.

The historical involvement of these industries in the development and deployment of familiar loss-prevention technologies such as automobile air bags, fire prevention/suppression systems, and anti-theft devices, evidences a tradition of mediating and facilitating the use of technology to improve safety and otherwise reduce the likelihood of losses. Through an examination of the connection between risk management and energy technology, we have identified nearly 80 examples of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies that offer loss-prevention benefits (such as improved fire safety). This article presents the business case for insurer involvement in the sustainable energy sector and documents early case studies of insurer efforts along these lines. We have mapped these opportunities onto the appropriate market segments (life, health, property, liability, business interruption, etc.). We review steps taken by 53 forward-looking insurers and reinsurers, 5 brokers, 7 insurance organizations, and 13 non-insurance organizations. We group the approaches into the categories of: information, education, and demonstration; financial incentives; specialized policies and insurance products; direct investment; customer services and inspections; codes, standards, and policies; research and development; in-house energy management; and an emerging concept informally known as “carbon insurance”. While most companies have made only a modest effort to position themselves in the “green” marketplace, a few have comprehensive environmental programs that include energy efficiency and renewable energy activities.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/09/18/ VL - 425 IS - 6955 M3 - Article SP - 264 SN - 00280836 AB - The most massive galaxies in the present-day Universe are found to lie in the centres of rich clusters. They have old, coeval stellar populations suggesting that the bulk of their stars must have formed at early epochs in spectacular starbursts, which should be luminous phenomena when observed at submillimetre wavelengths. The most popular model of galaxy formation predicts that these galaxies form in proto-clusters at high-density peaks in the early Universe. Such peaks are indicated by massive high-redshift radio galaxies. Here we report deep submillimetre mapping of seven high-redshift radio galaxies and their environments. These data confirm not only the presence of spatially extended regions of massive star-formation activity in the radio galaxies themselves, but also in companion objects previously undetected at any wavelength. The prevalence, orientation, and inferred masses of these submillimetre companion galaxies suggest that we are witnessing the synchronous formation of the most luminous elliptical galaxies found today at the centres of rich clusters of galaxies.

Here we quantify the changes in ocean pH that may result from this continued release of CO2 and compare these with pH changes estimated from geological and historical records. We find that oceanic absorption of CO2 from fossil fuels may result in larger pH changes over the next several centuries than any inferred from the geological record of the past 300 million years, with the possible exception of those resulting from rare, extreme events such as bolide impacts or catastrophic methane hydrate degassing.

These variations occurred with periodicities similar to those of solar activity and appear to be coherent with time series of the cosmogenic nuclides [sup14]C and [sup10]Be as well as North Atlantic drift ice. Our results imply that small variations in solar irradiance induced pronounced cyclic changes in northern high-latitude environments. They also provide evidence that centennialscale shifts in the Holocene climate were similar between the subpolar regions of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, possibly because of Sunocean-climate linkages.

The structural properties of the films were characterized using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The amorphous WO3 films remain as an amorphous phase up to 385°C and begin to crystallize at 390°C and then are completely crystallized at 450°C. Absorption peaks of the films are found to shift to a higher energy side with increasing annealing temperature up to 385°C and then shift abruptly to a lower energy as the films begin to crystallize at 390°C. Deconvolution of the absorption spectra shows that there are two different polaron transitions in the amorphous WO3 films.

JO - American Journal of Human Genetics JF - American Journal of Human Genetics Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 73 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 939 SN - 00029297 AB - A paternal-age effect and the exclusive paternal origin of mutations have been reported in Apert syndrome (AS). As the incidence of sporadic AS births increases exponentially with paternal age, we hypothesized that the frequency of AS mutations in sperm would also increase. To determine the frequency of two common FGFR2 mutations in AS, we developed allele-specific peptide nucleic acid-PCR assays. Analyzing sperm DNA from 148 men, age 21- 80 years, we showed that the number of sperm with mutations increased in the oldest age groups among men who did not have a child with AS. These older men were also more likely to have both mutations in their sperm. However, this age-related increase in mutation frequency was not sufficient to explain the AS-birth frequency. In contrast, the mutation frequency observed in men who were younger and had children with AS was significantly greater. In addition, our data suggest selection for sperm with specific mutations. Therefore, contributing factors to the paternal-age effect may include selection and a higher number of mutant sperm in a subset of men ascertained because they had a child with AS. No age-related increase in the frequency of these mutations was observed in leukocytes. Selection and/or quality-control mechanisms, including DNA repair and apoptosis, may contribute to the cell-type differences in mutation frequency.

However, legacy nuclear systems are not optimally configured for the new and emerging contingencies of this environment. A common thread likely to run through the desirable characteristics of most future systems is reduced collateral damage (RCD). Improved accuracy enables lower yield weapons to accomplish the missions once allocated to higher yield legacy warheads, with correspondingly reduced collateral effects. Lower yield, earth-penetrating weapons and other new or modified RCD weapons can play a critical role, in conjunction with the other capabilities of the New Triad, in achieving U.S. defense objectives of deterrence, dissuasion and assurance. As the United States implements the Nuclear Posture Review, it is important to assess such capabilities in the context of U.S. defense strategy and to be in a position to develop and deploy them--if required--within the much smaller nuclear force towards which the United States is moving.

The United States produces many lithium materials and consumes the greatest amount of Li in the world for use in ceramics, glass, aluminum, pharmaceuticals, batteries, etc. From 1950 to 1970, Li was central to many nuclear-related US Department of Energy (DOE) activities. The historical and current use of Li has not prompted many studies of the toxicity of this element to aquatic organisms. Here, we review the distribution and use of Li in the US with emphasis on usage by DOE. We also summarize information on the toxicity of lithium to aquatic biota. A case-example is provided which demonstrates the potential for contamination of groundwater with Li, evaluates the toxicity of the Li-contaminated groundwater, and identifies a treatment alternative.

JO - Environmental Science & Policy JF - Environmental Science & Policy Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 6 IS - 5 M3 - Editorial SP - 457 SN - 14629011 AB - Current global change policy debate reverberates around the polarized extremes of civilization-level cooperation through treaties as a mitigation tactic, on the one hand, and a wait-and-see approach that may lead to a climatic tragedy of the commons, on the other. Meanwhile, energy technology research is rapidly generating a perception that it will be possible to tune the earth system via carbon sequestration and other types of biogeochemical engineering. The consequences of this potential for planetary management, based on provincial self-interest, include the transition of the earth sciences into a security industry involving proprietary scientific knowledge bases of biogeochemical cycling and the evolution of a climate-design brokerage dominated by military/industrial interests.As the dominant political powers perceive the potential for planetary engineering and consider implementation, the global economy will adjust to exploit new opportunities, perceptions of which will be determined by the quality of system simulations. The growth of a viable international climate-design community will profoundly influence the trajectory of the earth system by providing either the illusion or the reality of predictability. Although this process will be chaotic at first, the probability of stabilization will ultimately be enhanced because the vast resources of the military/industrial sector will become involved. These concepts are disturbingly familiar in that they acknowledge the pervasion of competition and conflict in human technological affairs. However, they are consistent with approaches used in thermodynamics, ecological energetics, behavioral evolution, economics, and interdisciplinary climate science to describe collectively the evolution of the earth system.This paper argues that the perception that the climate can be regulated inexpensively will create an economic driving force for international cartel-style management of the total earth system. That is, the earth system may well become syndicated by those with the resources to effect large-scale management.

Both tritium ([sup3]H) and carbon-H ([sup14]C) from the wood were measured from milligram samples using accelerator mass spectrometry. Because the annual nature of the eucalyptus tree rings was in doubt, [sup14]C measurements provided growth rates used to estimate the age for [sup3]H determinations. A 30-yr comparison of organically bound tritium (OBT) levels to reported [sup3]H release data is achieved using OBT measurements from three trees near the stack. The annual average [sup3]H, determined from atmospheric water vapor monitoring stations, is comparable to the OBT in proximal trees. For situations without adequate historical monitoring data, this measurement-based historical assessment provides the only independent means of assessing exposure as compared to fate and transport models that require prior knowledge of environmental conditions and [sup3]H discharge patterns.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) have conducted a long-term column leaching study of 32 Class F fly ash samples from pulverized coal (PC) combustion, and quantified the release of 19 cations in four leachants with a pH between 1.2 and 12. The relative solubility(M[subL/T]) of each cation was defined as the total mass leached (M[subL]) relative to the concentration (M[subT]) of that element in the fly ash sample. A frequency distribution of relative solubility values was computed with ranges defined as insoluble, slightly soluble, moderately soluble, and very soluble. On the basis of this sample set, Ba, Cd, Fe, Pb, Sb, and Se in PC fly ash are insoluble. The elements Al, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni and Zn are slightly to moderately acid soluble. Only Ca and Na are water soluble; As and Ca are soluble in the basic solution. The results of this study indicate that the extent to which cations in Class F PC fly ash can be leached by naturally occurring fluids is very limited.

Materials and methods : Cerebral RNA was isolated at 30 min and 4 h after whole-body irradiation at 0.1 or 2 Gy, hybridized to random oligonucleotide arrays, and evaluated for time and dose-response patterns by multifactorial analyses. Results : Brain irradiation modulated the expression patterns of 1574 genes, of which 855 showed more than 1.5-fold variation. about 30% of genes showed dose-dependent variations, including genes exclusively affected by 0.1 Gy. About 60% of genes showed time-dependent variation with more genes affected at 30 min than at 4 h. Early changes involved signal transduction, ion regulation and synaptic signalling. Later changes involved metabolic functions including myelin and protein synthesis. Low-dose radiation also modulated the expression of genes involved in stress response, cell-cycle control and DNA synthesis/repair. Conclusions : Doses of 0.1 Gy induced changes in gene expression that were qualitatively different from those at 2 Gy. The findings suggest that low-dose irradiation of the brain induces the expression of genes involved in protective and reparative functions, while down-modulating genes involved in neural signalling activity.

The outbreak of the coronavirus causing the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) shows that the world is linked by thousands of people traveling millions of miles every single day who can spread SARS or new strains of influenza with pandemic potential.1 The world is also becoming a more dangerous place, with rogue nations and terrorist networks aggressively seeking nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. Of these, biological weapons are the cheapest to produce and likely the most attractive because they can be used anonymously.

The system utilizes the liquid-core waveguide as an efficient window for the excitation of separated samples and the collection of light through total internal reflectance, with zeptomolar detection limits. Scanning the excitation laser along the length of the electrophoresis capillary excites individually separated analyte bands, while the fluorescence is collected end-on by an optical fiber coupled to a photomultiplier. A new procedure for denoising and deconvolution was applied to the experimental electropherograms, removing the noise and resolving the highly overlapped peaks observed in early stages of the separation.

Using daily data for the years 1998 and 1999, we find that many of the characteristics of the electricity market can be viewed to be broadly consistent with efficient markets. The futures risk premium for 6-month futures contracts is estimated to be 0.1328% per day or about 4% per month. Using a GARCH specification, we estimate minimum variance hedge ratios for electricity futures. Finally, we study the dynamic relation between spot and futures prices using an Exponential GARCH model and between the spot and futures returns series using a vector autoregression.

JO - Journal of Industrial Ecology JF - Journal of Industrial Ecology Y1 - 2003///Fall2003 VL - 7 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 32 SN - 10881980 AB - The use of biomass as a raw material for production of fuels and commodity chemicals is attracting increasing attention motivated by the possibility of positive contributions to a sustainable resource supply, enhanced national security, and macroeconomic benefits for rural communities and society at large. Fossil fuel displacement exclusive of product recovery can be estimated for biological processing of biomass in the absence of product-specific information other than the product yield and whether fermentation is aerobic or anaerobic. Based on this observation, a framework is proposed for estimating fossil fuel displacement on a per-unit-product or per-unit-biomass basis. Use of a per-unit-biomass basis offers somewhat different insights as compared to a per-unit-product basis and appears particularly appropriate for consideration of the efficacy of resource or land use. Using the proposed framework, the following feedstock and process factors are shown to be particularly important in determining the extent of fossil fuel displacement via biological processes: feedstock (corn or cellulosic) and, for corn, harvest mode (e.g., with or without stover recovery); biological conversion (aerobic or anaerobic); product yield; and the energy requirements for product recovery. When all of these factors are favorable, as in the case of the cellulosic ethanol scenario examined, significant fossil fuel displacement can be achieved. When all of these factors are unfavorable, as in the case of a scenario involving polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from corn without stover recovery, no net displacement is achieved. The proposed framework provides a means to screen processes with respect to potential for fossil fuel displacement in the absence of product-specific information, to gain general insights into feedstock and process features important in determining the extent to which fossil displacement is realized, and to rapidly incorporate product-specific information into a preexisting evaluative rubric.

We have constructed a life-cycle model that describes collecting corn stover in the state of Iowa, in the Midwest of the United States, for the production and use of a fuel mixture consisting of 85% ethanol/15% gasoline (known as "E85") in a flexible-fuel light-duty vehicle. The model incorporates results from individual models for soil carbon dynamics, soil erosion, agronomics of stover collection and transport, and bioconversion of stover to ethanol. Limitations in available data forced us to focus on a scenario that assumes all farmers in the state of Iowa switch from their current cropping and tilling practices to continuous production of corn and "no-till" practices. Under these conditions, which maximize the amount of collectible stover, Iowa alone could produce almost 8 billion liters per year of pure stover-derived ethanol (E100) at prices competitive with today's corn-starch-derived fuel ethanol. Soil organic matter, an important indicator of soil health, drops slightly in the early years of stover collection but remains stable over the 90-year time frame studied. Soil erosion is controlled at levels within tolerable soil-loss limits established for each county in Iowa by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We find that, for each kilometer fueled by the ethanol portion of E85, the vehicle uses 95% less petroleum compared to a kilometer driven in the same vehicle on gasoline. Total fossil energy use (coal, oil, and natural gas) and greenhouse gas emissions (fossil CO2, N2O, and CH4) on a life-cycle basis are 102% and 113% lower, respectively. Air quality impacts are mixed, with emissions of CO, NOx, and SOx increasing, whereas hydrocarbon ozone precursors are reduced. This model can serve as a platform for future discussion and analysis of possible scenarios for the sustainable production of transportation fuels from corn stover and other agricultural residues.

Rather than considering feature selection as separate from learning, grafting treats the selection of suitable features as an integral pan of learning a predictor in a regularized learning framework. To make this regularized learning process sufficiently fast for large scale problems, grafting operates in an incremental iterative fashion, gradually building up a feature set while training a predictor model using gradient descent. At each iteration, a fast gradient-based heuristic is used to quickly assess which feature is most likely to improve the existing model, that feature is then added to the model, and the model is incrementally optimized using gradient descent. The algorithm scales linearly with the number of data points and at most quadratically with the number of features. Grafting can be used with a variety of predictor model classes, both linear and non-linear, and can be used for both classification and regression. Experiments are reported here on a variant of grafting for classification, using both linear and non-linear models, and using a logistic regression-inspired loss function. Results on a variety of synthetic and real world data sets are presented. Finally the relationship between grafting, stagewise additive modelling, and boosting is explored.

Most of the acoustic power is produced in the efficient traveling-wave stages. The straight-line series configuration is easy to build and allows no Gedeon streaming. The engine delivers up to 2 kW of acoustic power, with an efficiency (the ratio of acoustic power to heater power) of up to 20%. An understanding of the pressure and volume-velocity waves is very good. The agreement between measured and calculated powers and temperatures is reasonable. Some of the measured thermal power that cannot be accounted for by calculation can be attributed to Rayleigh streaming in the two thermal buffer tubes with the largest aspect ratios. A straightforward extension of this work should yield cascade thermoacoustic engines with efficiencies of around 35-40% of the Carnot efficiency.

JO - Cell Proliferation JF - Cell Proliferation Y1 - 2003/10/02/Oct2003 Supplement 1 VL - 36 M3 - Article SP - 33 SN - 09607722 AB - The majority of human breast carcinomas exhibit luminal characteristics and as such, are most probably derived from progenitor cells within the luminal epithelial compartment. This has been subdivided recently into at least three luminal subtypes based on gene expression patterns. The value of knowing the cellular origin of individual tumours is clear and should aid in designing effective therapies. To do this, however, we need strategies aimed at defining the nature of stem and progenitor cell populations in the normal breast. In this review, we will discuss our technical approach for delineating the origin of the epithelial cell types. A major step forward was the purification of each cell type by the application of immunomagnetic cell sorting based on expression of lineage-specific surface antigens. We then developed chemically defined media that could support either the luminal epithelial or the myoepithelial cell phenotype in primary cultures. Having succeeded in continuous propagation presumably without loss of markers, we could show that a subset of the luminal epithelial cells could convert to myoepithelial cells, signifying the possible existence of a progenitor cell population. By combining the information on marker expression and in situ localization with immunomagnetic sorting and subsequent immortalization, we have identifed and isolated a cytokeratin 19-positive suprabasal putative precursor cell in the luminal epithelial compartment and established representative cell lines. This suprabasal-derived epithelial cell line is able to generate both itself and differentiated luminal epithelial and myoepithelial cells, and in addition, is able to form elaborate terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU)-like structures within a reconstituted basement membrane. As more than 90% of breast cancers arise in TDLUs and more than 90% are also cytokeratin 19-positive, we suggest that this cell population contains a breast-cancer progenitor.

Although the experiment was for technical reasons not completed, an analysis of the feasibility is instructive. X-ray lasers are potentially a useful source for this type of experiment as they have high brightness, short pulse duration, and low divergence. Thomson scatter has proved to be a powerful diagnostic technique in low density plasmas and the extension of this diagnostic technique to shorter wavelengths in the XUV region would allow probing of plasmas at higher densities where classical plasma models such as the Debye-Hückel model breakdown. The authors show in their analysis that, at current output levels, self-emission may hamper attempts to probe high-density plasmas. However, a range of interesting plasmas can he probed which would be too optically thick for optical probing.

The harnessing of electrostatic charge in Leyden jars (early capacitors) enabled the controlled production of sparks and pulsed arcs. A contemporary introduction to sparks and arcs gives the foundation for critically assessing the early development, when observation and discovery of phenomena were still far from understanding. The modern development of discharge physics can be traced back to the 18th century. Notably, and generally unnoticed by the scientific community until today, Joseph Priestley observed cathode erosion and film deposition of cathode material as early as 1766.

Early Continuous Discharges. JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2003/10/02/Oct2003 Part 2 of 2 VL - 31 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1060 EP - 1069 SN - 00933813 AB - Continuous discharges could only be obtained after enduring energy sources became available, namely in the form of a battery of electrochemical cells, invented by Volta in late 1799. Humphry Davy is often credited with the discovery of the arc discharge, which later led to the development of the carbon arc lamp. Indeed, as early as 1800, he obtained short pulsed arcs with his Voltaic pile. Independently, and earlier than Davy in the sense of continuous discharges, the Russian Vasilii Petrov of St. Petersburg made carbon arcs in 1802. Petrov used a pile of 4200 electrochemical cells to drive what was the most powerful discharge at that time. Petrov's publication of 1803 appeared only in Russian, and his work was ignored and forgotten for over a century. Davy pursued highly successful electrochemical experiments and was unaware of Petrov's work. He increased the size of his battery in several steps, which led to increasingly powerful discharges, most likely an undesired side effect. After 1808, using the new battery of the Royal Institution, Davy demonstrated continuous arc discharges. The exact dates and circumstances of early arc demonstrations around 1810 are still the subject of research, but later arc experiments such as those at the London Institution of 1821 are well documented. While Petrov could claim priority for continuous carbon arcs, it was Davy who made a lasting impact on further development.

By periodically modulating the diameter of a gas-filled hollow waveguide, the phase mismatch normally present between the laser light and the generated soft x-ray light can be partially compensated. This makes it possible to use neon gas as the nonlinear medium to coherently convert light up to the water window, illustrating that techniques of nonlinear optics can be applied effectively in the soft x-ray region of the spectrum. These results advance the prospects for compact coherent soft x-ray sources for applications in biomicroscopy and in chemical spectroscopy.

In the past 15 years, there has been an unexpected sprouting of metallic states in Low-dimensional systems, directly contradicting conventional wisdom. For example, bosons are thought to exist in one of two ground states: condensed in a superconductor or localized in an insulator. However, several experiments on thin metal-alloy films have observed that a metallic phase disrupts the direct transition between the superconductor and the insulator. We analyze the experiments on the insulator-superconductor transition and argue that the intervening metallic phase is bosonic. All relevant theoretical proposals for the Bose metal are discussed, particularly the recent idea that the metallic phase is glassy. The implications for the putative vortex-glass state in the copper oxide superconductors are examined.

Conditions chosen are similar to those of a clear day (17 March) at the location of Barrow, Alaska. Small amounts of reactive trace gases, representative of the Arctic spring, are present initially with typical background levels of Hg (0.24 ppt) and 50 ppb of O3. The simulations show that ozone and gaseous atomic mercury depletion are both strong functions of two important variables: (1) the concentrations of Br2 and BrCl present during the day; and (2) the concentrations of reactive trace gases such as CH2O present in the air mass. The simulated rate of Hg depletion and the expected product distribution are also functions of the size of the rate coefficient for the Hg+BrO reaction (k17). The relatively small extent of O3 and Hg depletion rates that result from Cl–ClO chemistry and the major effects that result from the Br–BrO chemistry are rationalized in terms of the significant differences in the reaction mechanisms for the two halogens.

This technique enables direct deposition of the gasoline engine exhaust particles (GEP) and diesel engine exhaust particles (DEP) on human lung cells located at the air–cell interface on a transwell membrane in an exposure apparatus. The cellular responses to particle exposure were measured by the levels of IL-8 chemokines produced as a function of exposure time. The findings suggest that GEP and high-sulfur DEP induced the production of similar levels of IL-8 by unprimed A549 cells. The level of IL-8 produced by unprimed A549 cells in response to low-sulfur DEP was found lower than that produced in response to high-sulfur DEP and GEP. When cells were primed, simulating predisposed conditions, significant levels of IL-8 were produced. GEP triggered a much higher level of IL-8 production than DEP did. Furthermore, the time profile of IL-8 production induced by GEP was markedly different from that induced by DEP. The findings indicate that GEP could induce the production of higher levels of chemokines (i.e., IL-8) than DEP did, implying that exposure to GEP could be a greater health risk than exposure to DEP.

To address this important subject, we conducted an electron spin resonance (ESR) study to understand the kinetics of the formation and decomposition of Cr(V) during Cr(VI) reduction by different Gram-positive Cr(VI)-tolerant bacteria which were isolated from polluted basalts from the United States of America and the Republic of Georgia. Results form our batch experiments show that during Cr(VI) reduction, the macromolecules at the cell wall of these bacteria could act as an electron donor to Cr(VI) to form a stable square-pyramidal Cr(V) complexes, which were reduced further probably via a one-electron transfer pathway to form Cr(IV) and Cr(III) compounds. The Cr(V) peak at the ESR spectrum possessed superhyperfine splitting characteristic of the Cr(V) complexes with diol-containing molecules. It appears that the kinetic of Cr(V) formation and decomposition dependent on the bacterial growth phase and on the species. Both formation and decomposition of Cr(V) occurred more quickly when Cr(VI) was added at the exponential phase. In comparison with other Gram-positive bacterial from the republic of Georgia, the formation and decomposition of Cr(V) in Arthrobacter species from the Unites States was significantly slower.

The indoor exposure to particles of outdoor origin is not well-characterized, particularly for individual chemical species. In response to this, a field study in an unoccupied, single-story residence in Clovis, CA, was conducted. Real-time particle monitors were used both outdoors and indoors to quantity PM[sub2.5] nitrate, sulfate, and carbon. The aggregate of the highly time-resolved sulfate data, as well as averages of these data, was fit using a time-averaged from of the infiltration equation, resulting in reasonable value for the penetration coefficient and deposition loss rate. In contrast, individual value of the indoor/outdoor ratio can vary significantly from that predicted by the model for time scales ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Measured indoor ammonium nitrate levels were typically significantly lower than expected solely on the basis of penetration and deposition losses. The additional reduction is due to the transformation of ammonium nitrate into ammonia and nitric acid gases indoors, which are subsequently lost by deposition and sorption to indoor surfaces. This result illustrates that exposure assessments based on total outdoor particle mass can obscure the actual causal relationships for indoor exposures to particles of outdoor origin.

Such isochoric heating experiments permit study of the properties, such as the equation of state, of heated matter. One of the principal challenges of these experiments is to heat sufficiently thick layers so that they will be inertially confined over times scales sufficient for equilibration, times that are often many picoseconds, even at these high densities. One approach to this problem is to heat a solid target not with the laser pulse directly, which deposits its energy only over a few nanometres, but to heat with penetrating X-rays. In this paper, we present preliminary results where such ultrafast X-ray heating is demonstrated using a short-pulse laser-driven silicon Kα source to heat a layer of solid density aluminium.

The purpose of the undulator is to couple the transverse (propagating) and longitudinal (non-propagating) electromagnetic waves in the plasma. The coupling is particularly strong when the electron cyclotron and plasma frequencies are equal. It is demonstrated that this coupling gives rise to ultra-slow electromagnetic waves with group velocity v g ≪ c (where c is the speed of light in vacuum), resulting in the extreme energy compression in the plasma. A linear propagation equation for the electromagnetic wave envelope is derived, and its group velocity and group velocity dispersion are calculated. Relativistic corrections to the plasma electron motion are included to derive the nonlinear propagation equation. It is shown that, in comparison with unmagnetized plasma, an enhancement of nonlinearities of order is expected. Implications for relativistic self-focusing in the plasma are discussed.

Our technique, semiclassical electron-radiation-ion dynamics (SERID), is fully described in the text. The one-electron Hamiltonian and ion-ion interactions employed in the present work are density-functional based. Following excitation of electrons by the laser pulse, all three C-C bonds in the butadiene molecule become longer, as electrons are promoted from the HOMO to both the LUMO and LUMO+1 levels. In the excited electronic state, the molecule rotates about all of its three C-C bonds. There are then non-adiabatic events near avoided crossings, with electronic transitions to the ground state via creation of vibrational excitations. The molecule continues to twist around the central bond and one of the terminal C-C bonds, until the trans -conformation is achieved. Various features in the behaviour of the vibrational modes can also be observed, including initial excitations due to the laser pulse, further excitations at avoided crossings and the redistribution of vibrational energy between modes.

Compressed under ambient temperature, graphite undergoes a transition at ∼ 17 gigapascals. The near K-edge spectroscopy of carbon using synchrotron x-ray inelastic scattering reveals that half of the π-bonds between graphite layers convert to σ-bonds, whereas the other half remain as π-bonds in the high-pressure form. The x-ray diffraction pattern of the high-pressure form is consistent with a distorted graphite structure in which bridging carbon atoms between graphite layers pair and form σ-bonds, whereas the nonbridging carbon atoms remain unpaired with π-bonds. The high-pressure form is superhard, capable of indenting cubic-diamond single crystals.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/10/23/ VL - 425 IS - 6960 M3 - Letter SP - 814 SN - 00280836 AB - All conventional metals are known to possess a three-dimensional Fermi surface, which is the locus in reciprocal space of the long-lived electronic excitations that govern their electronic properties at low temperatures. These excitations should have well-defined momenta with components in all three dimensions. The high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) copper oxide superconductors have unusual, highly two-dimensional properties above the superconducting transition. This, coupled with a lack of unambiguous evidence for a three-dimensional Fermi surface, has led to many new and exotic models for the underlying electronic ground state. Here we report the observation of polar angular magnetoresistance oscillations in the overdoped superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+d in high magnetic fields, which firmly establishes the existence of a coherent three-dimensional Fermi surface. Analysis of the oscillations reveals that at certain symmetry points, however, this surface is strictly two-dimensional. This striking form of the Fermi surface topography, long-predicted by electronic band structure calculations, provides a natural explanation for a wide range of anisotropic properties both in the normal and superconducting states. Our data reveal that, despite their extreme electrical anisotropy, the high-Tc materials at high doping levels can be understood within a framework of conventional three-dimensional metal physics.

Before this, buffering was primarily accomplished by adjustment of shallow-water carbonate deposition to balance oceanic inputs from weathering on land. Neoproterozoic ice ages of near-global extent and multimillion-year duration and the formation of distinctive sedimentary (cap) carbonates can thus be understood in terms of the greater sensitivity of the Precambrian carbon cycle to the loss of shallow-water environments and CO[sup2]-climate feedback on ice-sheet growth.

Regulatory requirements for evaluating PAQSM performance and uncertainty concerns not addressed through standard performance evaluations are discussed. Avail-able techniques for evaluating uncertainties are presented. Experiences with analyses conducted most commonly are reviewed, as are those that might be used in a cohesive model uncertainty evaluation. The review concludes with a call for renewed emphasis on applying current techniques complemented by heretofore sparsely used diagnostic, corroborative, and alternative approaches and enhanced observational databases.

Efforts to assess human and ecosystem exposure to contaminants from multiple environmental media have been evolving over the last several decades. In this review, we summarize the development and evolution of the multimedia mass-balance approach to pollutant fate and exposure evaluation and illustrate some of the calculations used in multimedia assessments. The concepts that form the foundation of Mackay-type mass-balance compartment models are described, and the ongoing efforts to use multimedia models to quantify human exposures are discussed. A series of case studies of varying complexity are used to illustrate capabilities and limitations of selected multimedia approaches. We look to the future and consider current challenges and opportunities in the field of multimedia contaminant fate and exposure modeling.

As a consequence, concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere and may lead to changes in climate. The current challenge facing society is to develop options for future management of the carbon cycle. A variety of approaches has been suggested: direct reduction of emissions, deliberate manipulation of the natural carbon cycle to enhance sequestration, and capture and isolation of carbon from fossil fuel use. Policy development to date has laid out some of the general principles to which carbon management should adhere. These are summarized as: how much carbon is stored, by what means, and for how long. To successfully manage carbon for climate purposes requires increased understanding of carbon cycle dynamics and improvement in the scientific capabilities available for measurement as well as for policy needs. The specific needs for scientific information to underpin carbon cycle management decisions are not yet broadly known. A stronger dialogue between decision makers and scientists must be developed to foster improved application of scientific knowledge to decisions. This review focuses on the current knowledge of the carbon cycle, carbon measurement capabilities (with an emphasis on the continental scale) and the relevance of carbon cycle science to carbon sequestration goals.

Approximately 27% of the DNA sequences from the Populus genome were homologous to protein-coding regions in the Arabidopsis genome. BLAST scores and synteny were used to infer orthologous relationships between the Populus and Arabidopsis homologs. The probability that any pair of genes on a single Populus BAC will have orthologs on the same Arabidopsis chromosome is 46%–58%, substantially greater than the 20% expectation if there is no conservation of synteny between the Populus and Arabidopsis genomes. Likewise, the probability that any pair of genes on a single Populus BAC will have orthologs on a single Arabidopsis BAC is 19%–25%, much higher than the 0.1% expected if the orthologs are randomly distributed. These results provide evidence for substantial "pockets" of conserved microcollinearity between regions of the Populus and Arabidopsis genomes as well as for conservation of synteny even when local gene collinearity is not preserved during genome evolution.

Les séquences de Populus ont été déterminées à partir de cinq portions du génome clonées à l'aide de chromosomes bactériens artificiels (CBA). Approximativement 27 % des séquences d'ADN de Populus étaient homologues aux régions codant pour des protéines du génome d'Arabidopsis. Les résultats de comparaison des séquences à l'aide du logiciel BLAST ainsi que la synténie ont été utilisés afin de vérifier l'orthologie entre les homologues de Populus et d'Arabidopsis. La probabilité que n'importe quelle paire de gènes d'un clone unique de CBA de Populus possède des orthologues sur le même chromosome d'Arabidopsis est de 46 à 58 %. Cette probabilité est beaucoup plus élevée que l'espérance de 20 % si la synténie n'était pas conservée entre les génomes de Populus et d'Arabidopsis. De la même façon, la probabilité que n'importe quelle paire de gènes d'un clone unique de CBA de Populus ait des orthologues sur un clone unique de CBA d'Arabidopsis est de 19 à 25 %, ce qui est plus élevé que le seuil de 0,1 % attendu si les orthologues étaient distribués aléatoirement. Ces résultats constituent des preuves que d'importantes zones conservées de micro-colinéarité existent entre les régions du génome de Populus et celui d'Arabidopsis, et que la synténie demeure conservée même lorsque la colinéarité locale des gènes n'a pas été préservée durant l'évolution des génomes.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Forest Research is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of hydroxysulfate green rust suspensions spiked with aqueous solutions of AgCH3COO, AuCln(OH)4−n, CuCl2, or HgCl2 showed that AgI, AuIII, CuII, and HgII were readily reduced to Ag0, Au0, Cu0, and Hg0. Imaging of the resulting solids from the AgI-, AuIII-, and CuII-amended green rust suspensions by transmission electron microscopy indicated the formation of submicron-sized particles of Ag0, Au0, and Cu0. The facile reduction of AgI, AuIII, CuII, and HgII to Ag0, Au0, Cu0, and Hg0, respectively, by green rust suggests that the presence of green rusts in suboxic soils and sediments can have a significant impact on the biogeochemistry of silver, gold, copper, and mercury, particularly with respect to their mobility.

We compare the climatic response to increased greenhouse gases of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) climate model, CCM3, at T42 and T170 resolutions (horizontal grid spacing of 300 and 75 km respectively). All simulations use prescribed sea surface temperatures (SST). Simulations of the climate of 2100 ad use SSTs based on those from NCAR coupled model, Climate System Model (CSM). We find that the global climate sensitivity and large-scale patterns of climate change are similar at T42 and T170. However, there are important regional scale differences that arise due to better representation of topography and other factors at high resolution. Caution should be exercised in interpreting specific features in our results both because we have performed climate simulations using a single atmospheric general circulation model and because we used with prescribed sea surface temperatures rather than interactive ocean and sea-ice models.

Multi-terabyte and even petabyte data sets are emerging as major assets. The World-Wide Telescope linking hundreds of digital sky surveys is revolutionizing astronomy. And in industry multi-terabyte data warehouses of consumer transactional data are increasingly common. Today, data warehouses are centralized repositories of data used for reporting and querying. High-speed optical networks make it possible for data to instead be stored at its source. The article also informs that distributed data sources can be diverse in their formats, schema, quality, access mechanisms, ownership, access policies and capabilities. It says that data mining emerged from statistics as a new discipline during the past decade, as large data sets became more and more common and the need for new technology to mine them became critical.

The kinetics study performed by the batch method showed that maximum adsorption of Eu(III) and Cm(III) on C. vulgaris was attained within 3 min of contact; afterward, the percentage adsorption decreased with time due to chelation of the ions with exudates released from C. vulgaris with a strong affinity for Eu(III) and Cm(III). The TRLFS revealed that the short-term adsorption of Eu(III) on C. vulgaris was attributable to its coordination with cellulose on the algal cell wall. However, Eu(III) coordinated with the functional groups of cellulose very weakly despite the large distribution coefficients observed. These results indicate that the reactions, both at the cell's surfaces through adsorption and in solution phases through chelation with the exudates, are important in estimating the behavior of Eu(III) and Cm(III) in aqueous environments.

JO - Geomicrobiology Journal JF - Geomicrobiology Journal Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 20 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 517 EP - 548 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 01490451 AB - A borehole draining a water-bearing dyke fracture at 3.2-km depth in a South African Au mine was isolated from the open mine environment. Geochemical, stable isotopic, nucleic acid-based, and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analyses were employed as culture-independent means for assessing shifts in the microbial community and habitat as the system equilibrated with the native rock-water environment. Over a two-month period, the pH increased from 5.5 to 7.4, concurrent with a drop in pe from -2 to -3. Whereas rDNAs related to Desulfotomaculum spp. represented the major clone type encountered throughout, lipid biomarker profiling along with 16S rDNA clone library and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses indicated the emergence of other Gram-positive and deeply-branching lineages in samples during the later stages of the equilibration period. A biofilm that formed on the mine wall below the borehole produced abundant rDNAs related to the α Proteobacteria . β- and γ - Proteobacteria appeared to transiently bloom in the borehole shortly after isolation. Chemical modeling and sulfur isotope analyses of the borehole effluent indicated that microbial sulfate reduction was the major terminal electron-accepting process shortly after isolation, whereas Fe +3 reduction dominated towards the end of the experiment. The persistence of Desulfotomaculum -like bacteria throughout suggests that these organisms adapted to changing geochemical conditions as the redox decreased and pH increased following the isolation of the borehole from the mine atmosphere. The restoration of anaerobic aquatic chemistry to this borehole environment may have allowed microbiota indigenous to the local basalt aquifer to become more dominant among the diverse collection of bacterial lineages present in the borehole.

B. selenitireducens was also able to reduce selenite [Se(IV)] through Se(0) to Se(-II). Reduction of Se(0) by B. selenitireducens was more rapid in cells grown on colloidal sulfur [S(0)] or Se(IV) as their electron acceptor than for cell lines grown on fumarate. In contrast, three cultures of selenate-respiring bacteria, Sulfurospirillum barnesii , B. arsenicoselenatis , and Selenihalanaerobacter shriftii either were unable to reduce Se(0) to Se(-II) or had only a very limited capacity to achieve this reduction. Biological reduction of Se(0) to Se(-II) was observed during incubation of estuarine sediment slurries, while no such activity was noted in formalin-killed controls. The majority of the Se(-II) produced was found in the sediments as a solid precipitate of FeSe, rather than in solution as HSe - . These results demonstrate that certain anaerobic bacteria have the capacity to reduce Se(0) to Se(-II), providing a possible biological explanation for the occurrence of the selenide species in some sedimentary rocks.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 9 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1567 SN - 13541013 AB - In this paper we describe measurements and modeling of 18O in CO2 and H2O pools and fluxes at a tallgrass prairie site in Oklahoma. We present measurements of the δ18O value of leaf water, depth-resolved soil water, atmospheric water vapor, and Keeling plot δ18O intercepts for net soil-surface CO2 and ecosystem CO2 and H2O fluxes during three periods of the 2000 growing season. Daytime discrimination against C18OO, as calculated from measured above-canopy CO2 and δ18O gradients, is also presented. To interpret the isotope measurements, we applied an integrated land-surface and isotope model (ISOLSM) that simulates ecosystem H218O and C18OO stocks and fluxes. ISOLSM accurately predicted the measured isotopic composition of ecosystem water pools and the δ18O value of net ecosystem CO2 and H2O fluxes. Simulations indicate that incomplete equilibration between CO2 and H2O within C4 plant leaves can have a substantial impact on ecosystem discrimination. Diurnal variations in the δ18O value of above-canopy vapor had a small impact on the predicted δ18O value of ecosystem water pools, although sustained differences had a large impact. Diurnal variations in the δ18O value of above-canopy CO2 substantially affected the predicted ecosystem discrimination. Leaves dominate the ecosystem 18O-isoflux in CO2 during the growing season, while the soil contribution is relatively small and less variable. However, interpreting daytime measurements of ecosystem C18OO fluxes requires accurate predictions of both soil and leaf 18O-isofluxes.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 9 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1582 SN - 13541013 AB - Leaf 15N signature is a powerful tool that can provide an integrated assessment of the nitrogen (N) cycle and whether it is influenced by rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. We tested the hypothesis that elevated CO2 significantly changes foliage δ15N in a wide range of plant species and ecosystem types. This objective was achieved by determining the δ15N of foliage of 27 field-grown plant species from six free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments representing desert, temperate forest, Mediterranean-type, grassland prairie, and agricultural ecosystems. We found that within species, the δ15N of foliage produced under elevated CO2 was significantly lower ( P<0.038) compared with that of foliage grown under ambient conditions. Further analysis of foliage δ15N by life form and growth habit revealed that the CO2 effect was consistent across all functional groups tested. The examination of two chaparral shrubs grown for 6 years under a wide range of CO2 concentrations (25–75 Pa) also showed a significant and negative correlation between growth CO2 and leaf δ15N. In a select number of species, we measured bulk soil δ15N at a depth of 10 cm, and found that the observed depletion of foliage δ15N in response to elevated CO2 was unrelated to changes in the soil δ15N. While the data suggest a strong influence of elevated CO2 on the N cycle in diverse ecosystems, the exact site(s) at which elevated CO2 alters fractionating processes of the N cycle remains unclear. We cannot rule out the fact that the pattern of foliage δ15N responses to elevated CO2 reported here resulted from a general drop in δ15N of the source N, caused by soil-driven processes. There is a stronger possibility, however, that the general depletion of foliage δ15N under high CO2 may have resulted from changes in the fractionating processes within the plant/mycorrhizal system.

The master laser has an external optical feedback that induces optical chaos in the laser output. A part of the chaotic light output from the master laser is injected into the slave laser. We experimentally demonstrated the generation of broad-band signals up to 22 GHz using lasers whose relaxation oscillation frequency in the free-running state is only around 6.4 GHz. We also show that the experimental results can be well reproduced by numerical simulations using two coupled rate equations. The numerical investigation shows that the high-frequency broad-band signal generation is owing to two key effects: high-frequency oscillations as a result of beating between the master and slave laser lights, and spectrum flattening due to the injection of the chaotic signal. The flatness, stability, and tunability of the power spectra demonstrated in our experiments suggests that the proposed system can be potentially useful for generation of high-frequency broad-band random signals.

In this paper, we introduce a novel percolation computational model of the most commonly suggested design: polymer filled with highly conductive ceramic (e.g., boron nitride) particles. The effective conductivity of random networks of spherical conductors with different degree of: fill, polydispersity, conductivity, and interface contact were determined by solving systems of Kirchoff's equations for cubic resistor network. It was found that above the percolation threshold (approximately 0.36, all cases), the effective conductivity is almost a linear function of the amount of fill or contact area between particles. Also, monodispersed filler yielded significantly higher effective conductivity than systems with three filler sizes. The model shows that if any spatial periodic arrangement is used, then effective conductivity much higher than that of the polymer matrix cannot be reached by increasing the conductivity of the filler. Thus periodic composites below maximal packing volume fraction yield the effective conductivity comparable to that of the polymer. We show that for nonperiodic (random) arrays the conductivity does improve significantly with increasing fill volume above the percolation threshold. Also, in agreement with recent experimental work, we find the key to significant improvement in thermal conductivity is an increase in contact area between particles. This last result suggests an explanation for recent experimental reports that boron nitride-filled polymers provide for higher conductivity than polymers filled with harder materials. Our model allows for quantitative estimation of the effective conductivity as a function of the contact area, polydispersity and the volume fraction.

Advances in computational magnetics, particularly the use of finite-element calculations, have enabled realistic numerical simulations of magnetic particle inspection to be undertaken with complicated geometries. In this paper, we report a sensitivity analysis using finite-element-method simulations of magnetic particle inspection for defects with various sizes and geometries. As a result, improved quantitative understanding of the MPI technique and factors that affects its sensitivity and reliability has been achieved. These results can be used to optimize conditions for conducting these inspections and should lead to improvement in analysis and interpretation of experimental results.

Theft integration as part of a workflow process enables the creation of services that can be easily reused by the community. Scientists can then concentrate on the science, while application developers can focus on the delivery of services that can be assembled as building blocks to create more elaborate services. The paper introduces the problem domain and the terminology used in thermochemistry that is directly related to the work scientists perform. It analyzes a current process to derive thermochemical tables, one of the most elementary building blocks in thermochemistry. Next it provides an improved technique for increasing the accuracy of this process. It introduces a scenario where algorithm and the repeated use by the community will result in a highly accurate and elaborate thermochemistry table database. Next, the paper presents the notion of a "knowledge Grid", transforming information into knowledge. It outlines service-oriented architecture and discuss how services such as security, data transfer, registration, and scheduling assist in assembling such a sophisticated collaborative environment.

The results indicate that residential mortgage rates in general, appear to follow the long-term rate and are not very sensitive to movements in the short-term interest rate.

In these vehicles, steel is replaced with aluminum, titanium, magnesium, plastics, and glass and carbon fibers. In addition to total volumes, we pay particular attention to a subset of highly toxic chemical constituents in hazardous waste. The article also examines capacity in the United States to manage the solid and hazardous waste generation changes. Finally, we review the distribution of environmental impacts that changes in material composition would cause. The estimated generation of solid and hazardous wastes for each of the three new vehicles is greater than wastes for a base vehicle, although the United States has sufficient waste management capacity to handle these increases. Production of a subset of chemical constituents of hazardous waste, specifically those that are highly toxic, will decrease in most cases for the three new vehicles. Moving to these new materials could reduce mining for iron ore in the United States but increase the mining of bauxite for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and other materials in such major countries as Canada, China, and Russia and in many small, developing countries, such as Guinea, Jamaica, and Sierra Leone.

It has been suggested that the increase in effective radius resulting from increased relative dispersion may substantially negate the indirect aerosol effect, but this is usually not parameterized in global climate models (GCMs). Empirical parameterizations, designed to represent the average of this effect, as well as its lower and upper bounds, are tested in the CSIRO GCM. Compared to a control simulation, in which the relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectrum is prescribed separately over land and ocean, inclusion of this effect reduces the magnitude of the first indirect aerosol effect by between 12% and 35%.

Ultrasonic resonance allows one to measure the free-vibration response spectrum of a traction-free solid under periodic vibration. These frequencies depend on pointwise density, laminate dimensions, layer thickness, and layer elastic constants. Given a material with known mass but unknown constitution, this method allows one to extract the elastic constants and density of the constituent layers. This is accomplished by measuring the frequencies and then minimizing the differences between these and those calculated using the theory of elasticity for layered media to select the constants that best replicate the frequency-response spectrum. This approach is applied to a three-layer, unsymmetric laminate of WpCu, and very good agreement is found with the elastic constants of the two constituent materials.

The finite-bandwidth method of applying these relations is examined where the K-K integrals are restricted to the spectrum of the experimental data. These finite-bandwidth K-K relations are known to work with resonant-type data and here are applied to dispersion data consistent with a power-law attenuation coefficient (exponent from 1 to 2). Bandwidth-restricted forms of the zero and once-subtracted K-K relations are used to determine the attenuation coefficient from phase velocity. Analytically, it is shown that these transforms produce the proper power-law form of the attenuation coefficient as a stand-alone term summed with artifacts that are dependent on the integration limits. Calculations are performed to demonstrate how these finite-bandwidth artifacts affect the K-K predictions under a variety of conditions. The predictions are studied in a local context as a function of subtraction frequency, bandwidth, and power-law exponent. The K-K predictions of the power-law exponent within various decades of the spectrum are also examined. In general, the agreement between finite-bandwidth K-K predictions and exact values grows as the power-law exponent approaches 1 and with increasing bandwidth.

The basic concept of the method is to use high-frequency structural excitations to monitor the local area of a structure for changes in structural impedance that would indicate imminent damage. A brief overview of research work on experimental and theoretical studies on various structures is considered and several research papers on these topics are cited. This paper concludes with a discussion of future research areas and path forward.

Our intended application of support theory is to enable proving condition number bounds for preconditioners for symmetric, positive definite systems. One key feature sets our approach apart from most other works: We use support numbers instead of generalized eigenvalues. Although closely related, we believe support numbers are more convenient to work with algebraically. This paper provides the theoretical foundation of support theory and describes a set of analytical tools and techniques. For example, we present a new theorem for bounding support numbers (generalized eigenvalues) where the matrices have a known factorization (not necessarily square or triangular). This result generalizes earlier results based on graph theory. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by a simple example: block Jacobi preconditioning on a model problem. Also, our analysis of a new class of preconditioners, maximum-weight basis preconditioners, in [E. G. Boman, D. Chen, B. Hendrickson, and S. Toledo, Numer. Linear Algebra Appl., to appear] is based on results contained in this paper.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/11/06/ VL - 426 IS - 6962 M3 - Article SP - 59 SN - 00280836 AB - Surfactants and membrane lipids readily assemble into complex structures such as micelles, liposomes or hollow vesicles owing to their amphiphilic character-the fact that part of their structure is attracted to polar environments while another part is attracted to non-polar environments. The self-assembly of complex structures also occurs in polyoxometallate chemistry, as exemplified by the molybdenum blue solutions known for centuries. But while the presence of nanometre-sized metal oxide aggregates in these solutions has long been recognized, unravelling the composition and formation process of these aggregates proved difficult. Recent work has indicated that discrete, wheel-shaped mixed-valence polyoxomolybdate clusters of the type {Mo154} (refs 2-4) assemble into well-defined nanometre-sized aggregates, including spherical structures. Here we report light-scattering data and transmission electron microscopy images of hollow spherical structures with an average, almost monodisperse radius of about 45?nm and composed of approximately 1,165 {Mo154} wheel-shaped clusters. The clusters appear to lie flat and homogeneously distributed on the vesicle surface. Unlike conventional lipid vesicles, the structures we observe are not stabilized by hydrophobic interactions. Instead, we believe the polyoxomolybdate-based vesicles form owing to a subtle interplay between short-range van der Waals attraction and long-range electrostatic repulsion, with important further stabilization arising from hydrogen bonding involving water molecules encapsulated between the wheel-shaped clusters and in the vesicles’ interior.

The reservoir has been accumulating in subsoil zones of arid regions throughout the Holocene. Consideration of the subsoil reservoir raises estimates of vadose-zone nitrogen inventories by 14 to 71% for warm deserts and arid shrublands worldwide and by 3 to 16% globally. Subsoil nitrate accumulation indicates long-term leaching from desert soils, impelling further evaluation of nutrient dynamics in xeric ecosystems. Evidence that subsoil accumulations are readily mobilized raises concern about groundwater contamination after land-use or climate change.

A surprising exception to this behaviour has recently been observed in doped silver chalcogenides, which exhibit an anomalously large, quasi-linear magnetoresistive response that extends down to low fields and survives, even at extreme fields of 55 T and beyond. Here we present a simple model of a macroscopically disordered and strongly inhomogeneous semiconductor that exhibits a similar non-saturating magnetoresistance. In addition to providing a possible explanation for the behaviour of doped silver chalcogenides, our model suggests potential routes for the construction of magnetic field sensors with a large, controllable and linear response.

It is characterized by a central cluster of antigen receptors, a ring of integrin family adhesion molecules, and temporal stability over hours. The role of this specific organization in signaling for T cell activation has been controversial. We use in vitro and in silico experiments to determine that the immunological synapse acts as a type of adaptive controller that both boosts T cell receptor triggering and attenuates strong signals.

During three sampling periods (March, May, and November 2000), relatively high numbers of viable aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were recovered from both unfrozen (10[sup6]-10[sup7] cfu/g) and frozen samples (10sup5]-10[sup6] cfu/g). Relatively large populations of sulfate-, nitrate-, and iron-reducing bacteria were present, and significant concentrations of acid-volatile sulfide were measured in some samples, indicating that anoxic regions exist within this zone. Cr(Vl), a priority groundwater pollutant on adjacent U.S. Department of Energy lands, was probably removed from solution in HZ samples by a combination of microbial activity and chemical reduction, presumably via products of anaerobic microbial metabolism. These results suggest that biogeochemical processes in the Columbia River HZ may contribute to the natural attenuation of Cr(Vl). Although freezing modestly diminished recovery of viable bacteria, freeze core techniques proved reliable for the collection of intact hyporheic sediments.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 37 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 5219 EP - 5227 SN - 0013936X AB - Electron transfer from zerovalent iron (Fe[sup0]) to targeted contaminants is affected by initial Fe[sup0] composition, the oxides formed during corrosion, and surrounding electrolytes. We previously observed enhanced metolachlor destruction by Fe[sup0] when iron or aluminum salts were present in the aqueous matrix and Eh/pH conditions favored formation of green rusts. To understand these enhanced destruction rates, we characterized changes in Fe[sup0] composition during treatment of metolachlor with and without iron and aluminum salts. Raman microspectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the iron source was initially coated with a thin layer of magnetite (Fe[sup0]O[sup0]), maghemite (β- Fe[sub2]O[sub3]), and wüstite (FeO). Time-resolved analysis indicated that akaganeite (β-Fe00H) was the dominant oxide formed during Fe[sup0] treatment of metolachlor. Goethite (α-Fe00H) and some lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) formed when Al[sub2](SO[sub4])[sub3] was present, while goethite and magnetite (Fe[sub3]O[sub4]) were identified in Fe[sup0] treatments containing FeSO[sub4]. Although conditions favoring formation of sulfate green rust (GR(II); Fe[sub6](OH)[sub12]SO[sub4]) facilitated Fe[sup0]-mediated dechlorination of metolachlor, only adsorption was observed when GR(II) was synthesized (without Fe[sup0]) in the presence of metolachlor and Eh/pH changed to favor Fe(III)oxyhydroxide or magnetite formation. In contrast, dechlorination occurred when magnetite or natural goethite was amended with Fe(II) (as FeSO[sub4]) at pH 8 and continued as long as additional Fe(II) was provided. While metolachlor was not dechlorinated by GR(II) itself during a 48-h incubation, the GR(II) provided a source of Fe(II) and produced magnetite (and other oxide surfaces) that coordinated Fe(II), which then facilitated dechlorination.

The results of this work indicated that initial uptake of Eu[sup3+] was highest within the undifferentiated cells of the root tip just behind the root cap, a region of maximal cell growth and differentiation and with incomplete formation of the Casparian strip around the central vascular cylinder. Distribution of assimilated Eu[sup3+] within the root's differentiation and elongation zone was nonuniform. Higher concentrations of Eu[sup3+] were observed within the vascular cylinder, specifically in the phloem and developing xylem parenchyma. Elevated levels of the metal were also observed in the root hairs of the mature rootzone. Fluorescence spectroscopic characteristics of the assimilated Eu[sup3+] suggested that the Eu[sup3+] exists as inner-sphere mononuclear complexes inside the root. This work also demonstrated the effectiveness of a time-resolved Eu[sup3+] fluorescence spectroscopy and confocal fluorescence profiling techniques for the in vivo, real- time study of metal [Eu[sup3+]] accumulation by a functioning intact plant root This approach can prove valuable for basic and applied studies in plant nutrition and environmental uptake of actinide radionuclides.

Five subjects, 4 of whom were treated with PEG-IFN, achieved a sustained virological response, although it was delayed by >/=1 week in 3 subjects. The median treatment efficacy in blocking virion production was 99.7% in the PEG-IFN group and 60% with standard IFN. In 2 patients with detectable HIV loads before starting HCV study drugs, we observed a 1-log decrease in HIV RNA load. The estimated HCV virion half-life was longer in the HIV-coinfected subjects, which suggests that coinfection may contribute to a slower clearance of HCV. Although the early viral kinetics of coinfected subjects treated with PEG-IFN or IFN differ from those of singly infected subjects, the treatment response seems unaffected.

We assessed root turnover with the use of an isotope tracer in two forest free-air carbon dioxide enrichment experiments. Growth at elevated carbon dioxide did not accelerate root turnover in either the pine or the hardwood forest. Turnover of fine root carbon varied from 1.2 to 9 years, depending on root diameter and dominant tree species. These long turnover times suggest that root production and turnover in forests have been overestimated and that sequestration of anthropogenic atmospheric carbon in forest soils may be lower than currently estimated.

Approximate, i.e. thin shear layer self-similar forms for mass, momentum and the scalar quantity are derived, linearized using Go¨ertler’s [ZAMM 22 (1942) 244] perturbation argument and examined. Though successful for the mean velocity field, the regular expansion yields inconsistent solutions for the transport of a scalar. Sources of the non-uniformity are identified and a consistent result is obtained using matched asymptotic expansions. This result explains the success of semi-empirical convective velocity closures used by several researchers for a turbulence length scale equation.

The Kyoto Protocol accepts the principle that sequestration of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere can be used to offset emissions of carbon from fossil fuel combustion and outlines mechanisms. Although the lack of guaranteed permanence of biological offsets is often viewed as a defect, this paper argues that the absence of guaranteed permanence need not be a fundamental problem. We view carbon emissions as a liability issue. One purpose of an emissions credit system is to provide the emitter with a means to satisfy the carbon liability associated with her firm’s (or country’s) release of carbon into the atmosphere. We have developed and here expand on a rental approach, in which sequestered carbon is explicitly treated as temporary: the emitter temporarily satisfies his liability by temporarily “parking” his liability, for a fee, in a terrestrial carbon reservoir, or “sink,” such as a forest or agricultural soil. Finally, the paper relates the value of permanent and temporary sequestration and argues that both instruments are tradable and have a high degree of substitutability that allows them to interact in markets.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 32 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 720 EP - 734 SN - 0364152X AB - Effluent monitoring typically requires a large number of analytes and samples during the initial or startup phase of a facility. Once a baseline is established, the analyte list and sampling frequency may be reduced. Although there is a large body of literature relevant to the initial design, few, if any, published papers exist on updating established effluent monitoring programs. This paper statistically evaluates four years of baseline data to optimize the liquid effluent monitoring efficiency of a centralized waste treatment and disposal facility at a large defense nuclear complex. Specific objectives were to: (1) assess temporal variability in analyte concentrations, (2) determine operational factors contributing to waste stream variability, (3) assess the probability of exceeding permit limits, and (4) streamline the sampling and analysis regime. Results indicated that the probability of exceeding permit limits was one in a million under normal facility operating conditions, sampling frequency could be reduced, and several analytes could be eliminated. Furthermore, indicators such as gross alpha and gross beta measurements could be used in lieu of more expensive specific isotopic analyses (radium, cesium-137, and strontium-90) for routine monitoring. Study results were used by the state regulatory agency to modify monitoring requirements for a new discharge permit, resulting in an annual cost savings of US $223,000. This case study demonstrates that statistical evaluation of effluent contaminant variability coupled with process knowledge can help plant managers and regulators streamline analyte lists and sampling frequencies based on detection history and environmental risk.

JO - Environmental Practice JF - Environmental Practice Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 5 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 313 EP - 320 SN - 14660474 AB - An approach to stakeholder involvement known as the Dialogue process has been an integral part of the US Department of Defense Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment (ACWA) Program from its inception. It has provided a means of soliciting stakeholder input before key decisions are made. The projects developed under the ACWA Program are characterized as major federal actions and therefore also must meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). One of these is the requirement for public participation in the environmental impact assessment process. This case study describes the ACWA Dialogue and NEPA processes, and examines their relationship in the implementation of the ACWA Program. The examination suggests that involving the public at the beginning of a program through a Dialogue-like process can introduce environmental considerations early in the project development process and contribute to the development of a more informed public. These factors improve the overall efficacy of public participation, strengthening the link between project development and environmental assessment in a manner consistent with the original intent of NEPA.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 9 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1792 EP - 1801 SN - 13541013 AB - Evidence that global warming has altered the phenology of the biosphere, possibly contributing to increased plant production in the northern hemisphere, has come from a diversity of observations at scales ranging from the view of the back yard to satellite images of the earth. These observations, coupled with an understanding of the effects of temperature on plant phenology, suggest that future changes in the atmosphere and climate could alter plant phenology with unknown or unpredictable consequences. We assessed the effects of simulated climatic warming and atmospheric CO2 enrichment on the spring and autumn phenology of maple trees ( Acer rubrum and A. saccharum) growing for four years in open-top field chambers. CO2 enrichment (+300 ppm) had no consistent effects on the timing of budbreak and leaf unfolding in the spring or leaf abscission in the autumn. Warming (+4°C) usually had predictable effects: in two of the three years of assessment, budbreak occurred earlier in warm chambers than in ambient temperature chambers, and leaf abscission always occurred later. The lengthening of the growing season could contribute to increased productivity, although effects of temperature on other physiological processes can concurrently have negative effects on productivity. In 1995, budbreak was unexpectedly delayed in the warmer chambers, apparently the result of advanced budbreak leading to injury from a late-spring frost. Likewise, there was increased risk associated with longer leaf retention in the autumn: in 1994, leaves in the warm chambers were killed by freezing temperatures before they had senesced. These observations support the premise that global warming could increase the length of the growing season. Phenological responses should, therefore, be part of any assessment of the possible consequences of global change, but our results also suggest that those responses may not always have positive effects on production.

The retrieved CWV amounts are compared with the aerosol robotic network (AERONET) measurements at the Oklahoma Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program and the Stennis Space Center sites. We find no significant difference in the accuracy of the two tested methods. However, there is a considerable difference in the root mean square error (RMSE) for the CWV retrieval over the Oklahoma ARM and the Stennis Space Center sites. The overall RMSE of the MTI CWV retrieval is found to be 13% to 14%. The error is reduced to 11% to 12% for CWV amounts larger then 1 g/cm[SUP2].

The charge generated in the substrate induces displacement effect which strongly depends on the capacitor structure. Networks of capacitors are particularly sensitive to charge sharing effects. This has important implications for the reliability of SOI and DRAMs whichuse isolation oxides as a key elementary structure. The buried oxide of presentday and future SOI technologies is thick enough to avoid a significant collection from displacement effects. Ont eh other hand, the retention capacitors of trench DRAMs are particularly sensitive to charge release in the substrate. Charge collection on retention capacitors participate to the MBU sensitivity of DRAM.

The pressure transducers and accelerometers are micromachined silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and bulk silicon devices, respectively. Both sensor types experienced similar performance. degradation: a drift in offset voltage with a slight increase in sensitivity. We explain the drift in offset voltage for all sensors tested by correlating the change in resistance of the silicon piezoresistors to the formation of oxide and interface trapped hole charges. We demonstrate how these charges effectively reduce the volume for current flow through the piezoresistors due to the creation of a depletion region surrounding the periphery of the gage resistors. Differences in tie magnitude of the output voltage drift of the two sensor types are determined to be related to the unique construction of each sensor.

In these mechanisms, bimolecular reactions dominate the kinetics at high dose rates thereby causing a sub-linear dependence on total dose, and this leads. to a dose-rate dependence. These bimolecular mechanisms include electron-hole. recombination, hydrogen recapture at hydrogen source sites, and hydrogen dimerization to form hydrogen molecules. The essence of each of these mechanisms is the dominance of the bimolecular reactions over the radiolysis reaction at high dose rates. However, at low dose rates, the radiolysis reaction dominates leading to a maximum effect of the radiation.

The midgap voltage shift increase monotonically with dose and depends strongly on both Al&sub2;O&sub3; and SiOxNy thickness! The thinnest dielectrics, of most interest to industry, are extrenely hard to ionizing irradiation, exhibiting only ∼50 mV of shift at a total dose of 10 Mrad(SiO&sub2;) for the worst case bias condition. Oxygen anneals are found to improve the total dose radiation response by ∼SO% and induce a small amount of capacitance-voltage hysteresis. Al&sub2; O&sub3; /SiOxNy dielectrics which receive a ∼1000°C dopaut activation anneal trap ∼12% more of the initial charge than films annealed at 550°C. Charge pumping measurements show that the interface trap density decreases with dose up to 500 krad(SiO&sub2;). This surprising result is discussed with respect to hydrogen effects in alternative dielectric materials, and may be the result of radiation-induced hydrogen passivation of some of the near-interfacial defects in these gate dielectrics.

In this paper, we discuss in detail the consequences of radiation-induced single-event upsets (SEUS) in the state of half-latch structures found in Xilinx Virtex FPGAs and describe methods for mitigating the effects of half-latch SEUs. One mitigation method's effectiveness is then illustrated through experimental data gathered through proton accelerator testing at Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, University of California-Davis. For the specific design and mitigation methodology tested, the mitigated design demonstrated more than an order of magnitude improvement in reliability over the unmitigated version of the design in regards to average proton fluence until circuit failure.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2003/12//Dec2003 Part 1 of 2 VL - 50 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2147 EP - 2158 SN - 00189499 AB - An accelerator test was used to validate the performance of an FPGA single event upset (SEU) simulator. The Crocker Nuclear Laboratory cyclotron proton accelerator was used to irradiate the SLAAC1-V, a Xilinx Virtex FPGA board. We also used the SLAAC1-V as the platform for a configuration bitstream SEU simulator. The simulator was used to probe the "sensitive bits" in various logic designs. The objective of the accelerator experiment was to characterize the simulator's ability to predict the behavior of a test design in the proton beam during a dynamic test. The test utilized protons at 63.3 MeV, well above the saturation cross-section for the Virtex part. Protons were chosen because, due to their lower interaction rate, we can achieve the desired upset rate of about one configuration bitstream upset per second. The design output errors and configuration upsets were recorded during the experiment and compared to results from the simulator. In summary, for an extensively tested design, the simulator predicted 97% of the output errors observed during radiation testing. The SEU simulator can now be used with confidence to quickly and affordably examine logic designs to 'map' sensitive bits, to provide assurance that incorporated mitigation techniques perform correctly, and to evaluate the costs and benefits of various mitigation strategies. The simulator provides an excellent test environment that accurately represents radiation induced configuration bitstream upsets.

The charge collected by the terminals is a strong function of the ion striking position. The sensitive area of charge collection for each terminal is identified based on analysis of the device structure and simulation results. For a normal strike between the deep trench edges, most of the electrons and holes are collected by the collector and substrate terminals, respectively. For, an ion strike between the shallow trench edges surrounding the emitter, the base collects appreciable amount of charge. Emitter collects negligible amount of charge. Good agreement is achieved between the experimental and simulated data. Problems encountered with mesh generation and charge collection simulation are also discussed.

The data were acquired with the full range of Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamso, NM, Geostationary satellites, covering the period 1976-2001. Cross calibrations of the instruments were performed amongst themselves and referenced to CRRES observation. A model wa derived [particle ONERA-LANL electron (POLE)] valid from 30 keV up to 2.5 MeV, which takes into account the solar cycle variation. In general, lower energy (< 100 keV) electrons remain constant within 20% during a solar cycle, while the energetic (> 500 keV) electrons show variations of over an order of magnitude. It is shown that the variability of these high energy electrons can change quite drastically from one solar cycle to the next.

These ice core data yield estimates of the proton fluence for energies greater than 30 MeV, but provide no other spectrum information. Assuming that the proton energy distribution for such an event is similar to that measured for other recent,large events, total ionizing doses in deep space are estimated for these hypothetical worst-case spectra. These estimated doses, as large as 50 krad (Si), could be catastrophic for sensitive electronic devices unless substantial shielding is provided.

As the incident neutron energy spectra were hardened, the lineal energy spectra response from the SEPCM changed both in shape and in the number of lineal energy deposition events per incident neutron. The general trend of the 4 Mb SRAM single event upset (SEU) cross section was an increase for harder incident neutron energy spectra. Resulting dosimetric results were correlated to SEU cross sections.

It is found that a great many archaic petroglyphs can be classified according to plasma stability and Instability data. As the same morphological types are found worldwide, the comparisons suggest the occurrence of an intense aurora, as might be produced if the solar wind had increased between one and two orders of magnitude, millennia ago.

T1 - The framework for approximate queries on simulation data JO - Information Sciences JF - Information Sciences Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 157 M3 - Article SP - 3 SN - 00200255 AB - AQSim is a system intended to enable scientists to query and analyze a large volume of scientific simulation data. The system uses the state of the art in approximate query processing techniques to build a novel framework for progressive data analysis. These techniques are used to define a multi-resolution index, where each node contains multiple models of the data. The benefits of these models are twofold: (1) they have compact representations, reconstructing only the information relevant to the analysis, and (2) the variety of models capture different aspects of the data which may be of interest to the user but are not readily apparent in their raw form. To be able to deal with the data interactively, AQSim allows the scientist to make an informed tradeoff between query response accuracy and time. In this paper, we present the framework of AQSim with a focus on its architectural design. We also show the results from an initial proof-of-concept prototype developed at LLNL. The presented framework is generic enough to handle more than just simulation data.

Multilevel copper interconnection structures are used extensively in advanced integrated circuit architectures to realize a number of enhanced performance features. There is consequently great interest in developing improved methods for deposition of low-resistivity copper interconnect layers. The surface properties of a metal are ultimately defined by the nature of its oxide film. Recently, those properties are expressed in isoelectric point.

Our approach is to build Bayes classifiers with approximate class-conditional probability densities for measured data. The high dimension of the measurements in modern classification problems such as speech or image recognition makes inferring probability densities from feasibly sized training datasets difficult. We address the difficulty by imposing severely simplifying assumptions and exploiting a priori information about transformations to which classification should be invariant. For the face recognition task, we used a five-parameter group of such transformations consisting of rotation, shifts, and scalings. On the face recognition task, a classifier based on our techniques has an error rate that is 20% lower than that of the best algorithm in a reference software distribution.

The types of data across these problems included free text, parallel text, an image collection, remote sensing imagery, and network packets. A strategy for approaching the analysis of these diverse types of data is described. A key part of the challenge is mapping the analytic results back into the original domain and data setting. Additionally, a common computational bottleneck encountered in each of these problems is diagnosed as analysis tools and algorithms with unbounded memory characteristics. This experience and the analysis suggest a research and development path that could greatly extend the scale of problems that can be addressed with routine data analysis tools. In particular, there are opportunities associated with developing theory and functioning algorithms with favorable memory-usage characteristics, and there are opportunities associated with developing methods and theory for describing the outcomes of analyses for the various types of data.

The logic, designed around a process calculus with actions for each possible protocol step, consists of axioms about protocol actions and inference rules that yield assertions about protocols composed of multiple steps. Although assertions are written using only steps of the protocol, the logic is sound in a stronger sense: each provable assertion about an action or sequence of actions holds in any run of the protocol that contains the given actions and arbitrary additional actions by a malicious attacker. This approach lets us prove security properties of protocols under attack while reasoning only about the sequence of actions taken by honest parties to the protocol. The main security‐specific parts of the proof system are rules for reasoning about the set of messages that could reveal secret data and an invariant rule called the “honesty rule”.

These functions are exponential growing without bound. Tables for the natural frequencies and the corresponding normal modes are available for the numerical evaluation up to the 16th mode. For modes higher than the 16th, the accuracy of the numerical evaluation will be lost due to the round-off errors in the floating-point math imposed by the digital computers. Also, it is found that the functions of beam modes commonly presented in the structural dynamics books are not suitable for numerical evaluation. In this paper, these functions are rearranged and expressed in a different form. With these new equations, one can calculate the normal modes accurately up to at least the 100th mode. Mike’s Arbitrary Precision Math, an arbitrary precision math library, is used in the paper to verify the accuracy.

For those of us who choose to proceed using plant or animal models to dissect the elements of our favorite biological system, there are many classical and newer approaches available for our use, including two complementary strategies by which the discovery process is proceeding at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The ORNL has been known for six decades for its investigations of the effects of radiation and chemicals in inducing heritable mutations in mouse germ cells, and for using mouse mutations as tools for the cloning and characterization of mammalian genes. Our history and experience in making mouse models are being applied via these two complementary strategies: 1), a phenotypedriven approach, in which mice carrying random chemically-induced mutations are screened for abnormal phenotypes; and 2) a gene-driven approach in which heritable single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in preselected genes already thought likely to influence a biological system of choice can be recovered in live mice. The SNP-carrying mice can then be phenotyped for alterations in one's target biology. Both approaches have value and are necessary; while we can use mutations in genes that we already know to be of interest in our favorite biology to discover gene function, we also know that biology is full of surprise genes whose effects on our favorite biology would not be predicted and which will be identified only through phenotype screening.

In proposed methodology, the conditional behaviors are represented by hierarchical conditional dependency graphs (HCDG) and synthesized using derived constraints programming (CP) models. Our synthesis methods exploit multicycle operations and chaining as well as conditional resource sharing and speculative execution at the same time. We assign both functional units and registers while making possible to conditionally share these components. These techniques are essential in HLS and the experiments carried out using the developed prototype system showed good performance of the synthesized designs and proved the feasibility of the presented approach.

A key requirement of land-based carbon (C) projects is that any activity developed for generating C benefits must be additional to business-as-usual. A rule-based model was developed and used that estimates changes in land-use and subsequent carbon emissions over the next twenty years using the Eastern Panama Canal Watershed (EPCW) as a case study. These projections of changes in C stocks serve as a baseline to identify where opportunities exist for implementing projects to generate potential C credits and to position Panama to be able to participate in the emerging C market by developing a baseline under scenarios of business-as-usual and new-road development. The projections show that the highest percent change in land use for the new-road scenario compared to the business-as-usual scenario is for urban areas, and the greatest cause of C emission is from deforestation. Thus, the most effective way to reduce C emissions to the atmosphere in the EPCW is by reducing deforestation. In addition to affecting C emissions, reducing deforestation would also protect the soil and water resources of the EPCW. Yet, under the current framework of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), only credits arising from reforestation are allowed, which after 20 years of plantation establishment are not enough to offset the C emissions from the ongoing, albeit small, rate of deforestation in the EPCW. The study demonstrates the value of spatial regional projections of changes in land cover and C stocks: • The approach helps a country identify its potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emission liabilities into the future and provides opportunity for the country to plan alternative development pathways. • It could be used by potential project developers to identify which types of projects will generate the largest C benefits and provide the needed baseline against which a project is then evaluated. • Spatial baselines, such as those presented here, can be used by governments to help identify development goals. • The development of such a baseline, and its expansion to other vulnerable areas, well positions Panama to respond to the future market demand for C offsets. • It is useful to compare the projected change in land cover under the business-as-usual scenario to the goals set by Law 21 for the year 2020. Suggested next steps for analysis include using the modeling approach to explore land-use, C dynamics and management of secondary forests and plantations, soil C gains or losses, sources of variability in the land use and C stock projections, and other ecological implications and feedbacks resulting from projected changes in land cover.

Crystals of this scintillator have been grown using Bridgman process. This material when doped with cerium has high light output (∼ 60000 photons/MeV) and fast principal decay constant (≤ 25 ns). Furthermore, it shows excellent energy resolution for γ-ray detection. Energy resolution of 3.2% (FWHM) has been achieved for 662 keV photons (137Cs source) at room temperature. High timing resolution (260 ps - FWHM) has been recorded with LaBr3:Ce-PMT and BaF3-PMT detectors operating in coincidence mode using 511-keV positron annihilation γ-ray pairs. Details of its scintillation properties, and variation of these properties with changing cerium concentration are reported. Potential applications of this material are also addressed.

The ATLAS detector is designed to explore numerous physics processes by recording, measuring, and investigating the products emerging from proton-proton collisions at energies up to 14 TeV. High-precision muon momentum measurement (dp/p ∼ 10% at pT = 1 TeV/c) over large areas using monitored drift tube (MDT) chambers is crucial for the ATLAS experiment. More than 1200 MDT chambers, consisting of approximately 370 000 drift tubes, will provide a total coverage of 5500 m². Three Greek universities have taken the responsibility to construct 130 barrel inner small (BIS)-MDT chambers using 30 000 drift tubes of ∼ 1.7 m length that have been quality tested before assembly. The design of the muon drift tubes aims at high detection efficiency (> 95%) and a spatial single tube resolution of < 80 μm. This paper describes the cosmic ray test setup, which has been instrumented in order to verify that the BIS-MDT chamber Module-0 fulfills its design requirements. The analysis of its data shows that the chamber meets these requirements; it has low noise levels, uniform drift properties, good spatial resolution, and high particle detection efficiency.

But detection of this temporal variation has been extremely difficult, although laboratory studies have long suggested that certain structural changes, such as the properties of crustal fractures, should be seismically detectable. Here we present evidence that such structural changes are indeed observable. In particular, we find a systematic temporal variation in the seismograms of repeat microearthquakes that occurred on the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault over the decade 1987-97. Our analysis reveals a change of the order of 10?m in the location of scatterers which plausibly lie within the fault zone at a depth of ~3?km. The motion of the scatterers is coincident, in space and time, with the onset of a well documented aseismic transient (deformation event). We speculate that this structural change is the result of a stress-induced redistribution of fluids in fluid-filled fractures caused by the transient event.

We have produced significant numbers (10[sup8] to 10[sup9] molecules per cubic centimeter per quantum state) of translationally cold NO molecules in a specific quantum state with an upper-limit root mean square laboratory velocity of 15 plus or minus 1 meters per second, corresponding to a 406 plus or minus 23 millikelvin upper limit of temperature, in a crossed molecular beam apparatus. The technique, which relies on a kinematic collapse of the velocity distributions of the molecular beams for the scattering events that produce cold molecules, is general and independent of the energy of the colliding partner.

In this article, we examine the ratings of perceptions of several environmental problems for their utility as indicators of environmental quality, and examine perceptions of future land use by people interviewed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, near the Department of Energy's (DOE) Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Overall, people with lower incomes rated environmental problems as more severe than others, were more willing to spend federal funds to solve them, and were consistent in their ratings of severity of environmental problems and their willingness to spend federal funds. Cleaning up LANL and other Department of Energy sites, received the highest rating for expenditure of federal funds. The highest rated future uses for DOE sites were for recreation and for National Environmental Research Parks. People with less education generally gave higher ratings to most future land uses for DOE than did those with more education. However, those with higher education gave higher ratings to nuclear reprocessing, and nuclear material storage. Where there were differences, the people interviewed at Santa Fe rated all environmental problems (except pesticides) as more severe than did those previously interviewed in Albuquerque (located farther from the LANL site), and they were more willing to spend federal funds on these problems. Ratings for all future land uses did not differ between the Santa Fe and Albuquerque respondents. These perception-based indicators show general agreement among people living close and farther away from LANL with respect to cleaning up LANL and the future land uses for the site. These indicators should be considered by regulators, site personnel, and policy makers in future management and land use decisions.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 37 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 5603 EP - 5608 SN - 0013936X AB - The high stability of calcium uranyl carbonate complexes in the circumneutral pH range has a strong impact on U(VI) sorption in calcareous soils. To quantify this influence, sorption of U(VI) to soils in the presence of naturally occurring calcium carbonate was investigated by conducting batch experiments in which either U(VI) concentration or solution pH was varied. Two soils containing different calcium carbonate concentrations were selected, one from Oak Ridge, TN, and another from Altamont Pass, CA. The results show that the presence of calcium carbonate in soils strongly affects U(VI) sorption. Higher concentrations of soil calcium carbonate lead to a pronounced suppression of the pH-dependent sorption curve in the neutral pH range because of the formation of a very stable neutral complex of calcium uranyl carbonate in solution. A surface complexation model considering both strong and weak sites for ferrihydrite and ionizable hydroxyl sites for clay minerals was compared with experimental results, and U(VI) binding parameters were reasonably estimated. Fair agreement was found between the model predictions and sorption data, which span a wide range of U(VI) concentrations and pH. The results also show that appropriate solution-to-solid ratios need to be used when measuring distribution coefficients in calcareous soils to avoid complete CaCO[sub3] dissolution and consequent dilution of calcium uranyl carbonate complexes.

An inexpensive 36 mW continuous wave multi-mode diode laser at 662 nm is used to excite N0[sub3] in the &Btilde;2E'(0000) ← X[sup2]A'[sub2](0000) band. Fluorescence is collected from 700 to 750 nm. The prototype has a sensitivity to N0[sub3] of 76 ppt for a 60 s integration with an accuracy of 8%. Although this sensitivity is adequate for studies of N[sub2]0[sub5] in many environments, it is much less sensitive (about 300 times) than expected based on a comparison of previously measured photophysical properties of N0[sub2] and N0[sub3]. This implies much stronger nonradiative coupling of electronic states in N0[sub3] than in N0[sub2].

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 37 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 5757 EP - 5762 SN - 0013936X AB - No disposal option exists for "mixed wastes" such as paint scrapings that are co-contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and radioactive metals. Either removal or destruction of the PCB5 is required prior to disposal. Comparison of subcritical water dechlorination (350 °C, 1 h) of Aroclor 1254 in paint scrapings (180 ppm) and of standard Aroclor 1254 showed significantly enhanced dechlorination in the presence of paint While no significant degradation was observed for standard Aroclor (no paint), the dechlorination of PCBs in paint was 99, 99, and 80% for the hepta-, hexa-, and pentachlorinated congeners, respectively, indicating that metals in the paint enhanced the dechlorination reactions. Adding metals to the standard Aroclor (no paint) reactions enhanced PCB dechlorination in subcritical water in descending order of activity: Pb ≈ Cu > Al > Zn > Fe. In the presence of both zerovalent and divalent lead and zerovalent copper in subcritical water (350 °C, 1 h), 99% of the Aroclor 1254 mixture (tetra- to heptachlorinated biphenyls) was dechlorinated. High dechlorination (ca. 95%) was also achieved with zerovalent aluminum. In contrast to other metals, lead retained its degradation ability at a lower temperature of 250 °C after 18 h. The high degradation efficiency achieved using metal additives in water at reasonable temperatures and pressures demonstrates the potential for subcritical water dechlorination of PCBs in paint scrapings and, potentially, in other solid and liquid wastes.

T1 - A gravitationally lensed quasar with quadruple images separated by 14.62?arcseconds. JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/12/18/ VL - 426 IS - 6968 M3 - Article SP - 810 EP - 812 SN - 00280836 AB - Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for the study of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The cold-dark-matter model of the formation of large-scale structures (that is, clusters of galaxies and even larger assemblies) predicts the existence of quasars gravitationally lensed by concentrations of dark matter so massive that the quasar images would be split by over 7?arcsec. Numerous searches for large-separation lensed quasars have, however, been unsuccessful. All of the roughly 70 lensed quasars known, including the first lensed quasar discovered, have smaller separations that can be explained in terms of galaxy-scale concentrations of baryonic matter. Although gravitationally lensed galaxies with large separations are known, quasars are more useful cosmological probes because of the simplicity of the resulting lens systems. Here we report the discovery of a lensed quasar, SDSS J1004 + 4112, which has a maximum separation between the components of 14.62?arcsec. Such a large separation means that the lensing object must be dominated by dark matter. Our results are fully consistent with theoretical expectations based on the cold-dark-matter model.

Randomness may also be useful in quantum computers. However, to introduce a random evolution in a quantum computer, one needs much more than a coin, pair of dice, or roulette wheel: At any step, there is a continuous set of possible paths that a quantum computer could follow. In a typical quantum algorithm, the possible results of the final measurement are not uniformly distributed but are obtained according to a probability distribution that encodes the answer to the problem at hand. The state of a quantum computer with n qubits is described by a vector with N 2n components. Thus, the evolution of a quantum computer running a typical quantum algorithm is not random but deterministic. The authors demonstrate the simplicity of the method by implementing it in a toy quantum information processor using liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.

The building, with two floors and a total floor area of 4600 m2, is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Ventilation rates were manipulated with the building''s four air handling units (AHUs). VOC and CO2 concentrations in the AHU returns were measured on 7 days during a 13-week period. VOC emission factors were determined for individual zones on days when they were operating at near steady-state conditions. The emission factor data were subjected to principal component (PC) analysis to identify groups of co-varying compounds. Potential sources of the PC vectors were ascribed based on information from the literature. The per occupant CO2 generation rates were 0.0068–0.0092 l s−1. The per occupant isoprene generation rates of 0.2–0.3 mg h−1 were consistent with the value predicted by mass balance from breath concentration and exhalation rate. The relationships between indoor minus outdoor VOC concentrations and ventilation rate were qualitatively examined for eight VOCs. Of these, acetaldehyde and hexanal, which likely were associated with material sources, and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, associated with personal care products, exhibited general trends of higher concentrations at lower ventilation rates. For other compounds, a clear inverse relationship between VOC concentrations and ventilation was not observed. The net concentration of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate isomers, examples of low-volatility compounds, changed very little with ventilation likely due to sorption and re-emission effects. These results illustrate that the efficacy of ventilation for controlling VOC concentrations can vary considerably depending upon the operation of the building, the pollutant sources and the physical and chemical processes affecting the pollutants. Thus, source control measures, in addition to adequate ventilation, are required to limit concentrations of VOCs in office buildings.

Exposure-relevant emission factors and indirect exposures from habitual smoking JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2003/12/30/ VL - 37 IS - 39/40 M3 - Article SP - 5551 SN - 13522310 AB - Sorption of emitted gas-phase organic compounds onto material surfaces affects environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) composition and exposures indoors. We have introduced a new metric, the exposure relevant emission factor (EREF) that accounts for sorptive uptake and reemission to give the mass of individual ETS constituents available for exposure over a day in which smoking occurs. This paper describes month-long experiments to investigate sorption effects on EREFs and potential ETS exposures under habitual smoking conditions. Cigarettes were smoked in a 50-m3 furnished room over a 3-h period 6–7 days per week, with continuous ventilation at 0.3, 0.6, or 2.1 h−1. Organic gas concentrations were measured every few days over 4-h “smoking”, 10-h “post-smoking” and 10-h “background” periods. Concentration patterns of volatile ETS components including 1,3-butadiene, benzene and acrolein were similar to those calculated for a theoretical non-sorbing tracer, indicating limited sorption. Concentrations of ETS tracers, e.g. 3-ethenylpyridine (3-EP) and nicotine, and lower volatility toxic air contaminants including phenol, cresols, and naphthalene increased as experiments progressed, indicating mass accumulation on surfaces and higher desorption rates. Daily patterns stabilized after week 2, yielding a steady daily cycle of ETS concentrations associated with habitual smoking. EREFs for sorbing compounds were higher under steady cycle versus single-day smoking conditions by ∼50% for 3-EP, and by 2–3 times for nicotine, phenol, cresols, naphthalene, and methylnaphthalenes. Our results provide relevant information about potential indirect exposures from residual ETS (non-smoker enters room shortly after smoker finishes) and from reemission, and their importance relative to direct exposures (non-smoker present during smoking). Under the conditions examined, indirect exposures accounted for a larger fraction of total potential exposures for sorbing versus non-sorbing compounds, and at lower versus higher ventilation rates. Increasing ventilation can reduce indirect exposures to very low levels for non-sorbing ETS components, but indirect routes accounted for ∼50% of potential nicotine exposures during non-smoking periods at all ventilation rates.

The study aims to determine: (1) the adequacy of the standard Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes two-equation (k−ϵ) turbulence model for predicting the mixing time under these conditions and (2) the extent to which the mixing time depends on the room airflow, rather than the source location within the room. The CFD simulations modeled the 12 mixing time experiments performed by Drescher et al. (Indoor Air 5 (1995) 204) using a point pulse release in an isothermal, sealed room mechanically mixed with variable power blowers. Predictions of mixing time were found in good agreement with experimental measurements, over an order of magnitude variation in blower power. Additional CFD simulations were performed to investigate the relation between pollutant mixing time and source location. Seventeen source locations and five blower configurations were investigated. Results clearly show large dependence of the mixing time on the room airflow, with some dependence on source location. We further explore dependence of mixing time on the velocity and turbulence intensity at the source location. Implications for positioning air-toxic sensors in rooms are briefly discussed.

For all duct runs, losses were negligible for submicron particles and nearly complete for particles larger than 50 μm. The 50th percentile cut-point diameters were 15 μm in supply runs and 25 μm in return runs. Losses in supply duct runs were higher than in return duct runs, mostly because internal insulation was present in portions of supply duct runs, but absent from return duct runs. Single-pass equations for particle loss in duct runs were combined with models for predicting ventilation system filtration efficiency and particle deposition to indoor surfaces to evaluate the fates of particles of indoor and outdoor origin in an archetypal mechanically ventilated building. Results suggest that duct losses are a minor influence for determining indoor concentrations for most particle sizes. Losses in ducts were of a comparable magnitude to indoor surface losses for most particle sizes. For outdoor air drawn into an unfiltered ventilation system, most particles smaller than 1 μm are exhausted from the building. Large particles deposit within the building, mostly in supply ducts or on indoor surfaces. When filters are present, most particles are either filtered or exhausted. The fates of particles generated indoors follow similar trends as outdoor particles drawn into the building.

We conducted a field study in an unoccupied, single-story residence in Clovis, California to provide data and analyses to address issues important for assessing exposure. We used real-time particle monitors both outdoors and indoors to quantify nitrate, sulfate, and carbon particulate matter of particle size 2.5 μm or less in diameter (PM-2.5). The results show that measured indoor ammonium nitrate concentrations were significantly lower than would be expected based solely on penetration and deposition losses. The additional reduction can be attributed to the transformation indoors of ammonium nitrate into ammonia and nitric acid gases, which are subsequently lost by deposition and sorption to indoor surfaces. A mass balance model that accounts for the kinetics of ammonium nitrate evaporation was able to reproduce measured indoor ammonium nitrate and nitric acid concentrations, resulting in a fitted value of the deposition velocity for nitric acid of 0.56 cm s−1. The results indicate that indoor exposure to outdoor ammonium nitrate in Central Valley of California are small, and suggest that exposure assessments based on total particle mass measured outdoors may obscure the actual causal relationships for indoor exposure to particles of outdoor origin.

The rate of transfer from plasma into a tissue is determined by the blood perfusion rate and the tissue-specific extraction fraction of Cs during passage from arterial to venous plasma. Information on tissue-specific extraction of Cs is supplemented with information on the Cs analogues, K and Rb, and known patterns of discrimination between these metals by tissues. The rate of return from a tissue to plasma is estimated from the relative contents of Cs in plasma and the tissue at equilibrium as estimated from environmental studies. Transfers of Cs other than exchange between plasma and tissues (e.g. secretions into the gastrointestinal tract) are based on a combination of physiological considerations and empirical data on Cs or related elements. Model predictions are consistent with the sizable database on the time-dependent distribution and retention of radiocesium in the human body.

Only one pictograph site is known. The shelter contains faint representational and abstract images. We sampled three charcoal pictographs for plasma-chemical extraction of carbon and AMS radiocarbon dating. But, because the paint layer was thin, there was sufficient carbon for dating in only one sample--2370 ± 150 years B.P. for an anthropomorph depicted on a rock on the shelter floor. This study demonstrates that there is a subtle balance between collecting enough material for viable results and minimizing damage to paintings during sampling.

A finite-difference analysis is used for dynamic modeling of a two-dimensional prototype of the vertical Bridgman system that takes into account heat transfer in the melt, crystal, and the ampoule, as well as the melt flow and solute transport. Actual temperature data from experimental measurements are used for accurately describing the thermal boundary conditions. A range of complex dynamical behavior is predicted in the melt flow due to flow transitions and this is found to be directly related to the spatial patterns observed experimentally in the solidified alloys. The model is applied to single phase solidification in the Al–Cu and Pb–Sn systems to characterize the effect of convection on the macroscopic shape of the interface. The application of the model to hyper-peritectic alloys in the Sn–Cd system shows that the presence of oscillating flow can give rise to a novel convection induced microstructure in which a tree-like primary phase in the center of the sample is embedded in the surrounding peritectic matrix.

JO - Canadian Journal of Forest Research JF - Canadian Journal of Forest Research Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 34 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 93 SN - 00455067 AB - Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, codominant markers that have great value for the construction of genetic maps, comparative mapping, population genetic surveys, and paternity analyses. Here, we report the development and testing of a set of SSR markers derived from shotgun sequencing from Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray, a nonenriched genomic DNA library, and bacterial artificial chromosomes. Approximately 23% of the 1536 genomic clones and 48% of the 768 bacterial artificial chromosome subclones contained an SSR. Of the sequences containing an SSR, 72.4% contained a dinucleotide, 19.5% a trinucleotide, and 8.1% a tetranucleotide repeat unit; 26.6% of the sequences contained multiple SSR motifs in a complex or compound repeat structures. A survey of the genome sequence database revealed very similar proportional distribution, indicating that our limited rapid, shallow sequencing effort is representative of genome-wide patterns. In total, 492 primer pairs were designed and these yielded 77 markers that were mapped in an F2 pedigree, including 26 that were sufficiently informative to be included in a Populus framework map. SSRs with GC-rich motifs mapped at a significantly higher frequency than expected, although AT-rich SSRs accounted for the majority of mapped markers due to their higher representation in the genome. SSR markers developed from P. trichocarpa showed high utility throughout the genus, with amplification rates in excess of 70% for all Populus species tested. Finally, at least 30% of the markers amplified in several willow species, suggesting that some of these SSRs will be transferable across genera.

Les auteurs ont développé et testé un ensemble de marqueurs SSRs découlant du séquençage aléatoire d'une banque d'ADN génomique non enrichie et de chromosomes artificiels bactériens de Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray. Environ 23 % des 1536 clones génomiques et 48 % des 768 sous-clones de BAC contenaient un SSR. De ces séquences contenant un SSR, 72,4 % présentaient une répétition dinucléotidique, 19,5 % une répétition trinucléotidique et 8,1 % une répétition tétranucléotidique; 26,6 % des séquences présentaient des patrons SSRs multiples au sein de structures répétées complexes ou composées. Une étude de la base de données de la séquence du génome a révélé des proportions similaires des différents motifs, indiquant qu'un effort limité, rapide et superficiel de séquençage produit des SSRs représentatifs des patrons du génome dans son ensemble. Un total de 492 paires d'amorces ont été élaborées, résultant en 77 marqueurs qui ont été cartographiés à partir d'un pedigree F2, incluant 26 marqueurs assez informatifs pour être inclus dans une carte de base de Populus. Les marqueurs SSRs à motifs riches en GC étaient cartographiés à une fréquence significativement plus élevée que la fréquence espérée, quoique les SSRs à motifs riches en AT comptaient pour la majorité des marqueurs cartographiés en raison de leur plus forte représentation dans le génome. Les marqueurs SSRs développés à partir de P. trichocarpa ont démontré une bonne transférabilité à travers le genre, avec des taux d'amplification excédant 70 % pour toutes les espèces de Populus testées. Enfin, au moins 30 % des marqueurs ont été amplifiés chez plusieurs espèces de saule, indiquant que certains de ces marqueurs SSRs seront transférables d'une genre à l'autre.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Forest Research is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 62 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 28 SN - 01650009 AB - A problem for climate change studies with coupled ocean-atmosphere models has been how to incorporate observed initial conditions into the ocean, which holds most of the `memory' of anthropogenic forcing effects. The first difficulty is the lack of comprehensive three-dimensional observations of the current ocean temperature (T) and salinity (S) fields to initialize to. The second problem is that directly imposing observed T and S fields into the model results in rapid drift back to the model climatology, with the corresponding loss of the observed information. Anthropogenic forcing scenarios therefore typically initialize future runs by starting with pre-industrial conditions. However, if the future climate depends on the details of the present climate, then initializing the model to observations may provide more accurate forecasts. Also, this ~ 130 yr spin up imposes substantial overhead if only a few decades of predictions are desired. A new technique to address these problems is presented. In lieu of observed T and S, assimilated ocean data were used. To reduce model drift, an anomaly coupling scheme was devised. This consists of letting the model's climatological (pre-industrial) oceanic and atmospheric heat contents and transports balance each other, while adding on the (much smaller) changes in heat content since the pre-industrial era as anomalies. The result is model drift of no more than 0.2 K over 50 years, significantly smaller than the forced response of 1.0 K. An ensemble of runs with these assimilated initial conditions is then compared to a set spun up from pre-industrial conditions. No systematic differences were found, i.e., the model simulation of the ocean temperature structure in the late 1990s is statistically indistinguishable from the assimilated observations. However, a model with a worse representation of the late 20th century climate might show significant differences if initialized in this way.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 62 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 113 SN - 01650009 AB - To study the impacts of climate change on water resources in the western U.S., global climate simulations were produced using the National Center for Atmospheric Research/Department of Energy (NCAR/DOE) Parallel Climate Model (PCM). The Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) was used to downscale the PCM control (20 years) and three future (2040–2060) climate simulations to yield ensemble regional climate simulations at 40 km spatial resolution for the western U.S. This paper describes the regional simulations and focuses on the hydroclimate conditions in the Columbia River Basin (CRB) and Sacramento-San Joaquin River (SSJ) Basin. Results based on global and regional simulations show that by mid-century, the average regional warming of 1 to 2.5 °C strongly affects snowpack in the western U.S. Along coastal mountains, reduction in annual snowpack was about 70% as indicated by the regional simulations. Besides changes in mean temperature, precipitation, and snowpack, cold season extreme daily precipitation increased by 5 to 15 mm/day (15–20%) along the Cascades and the Sierra. The warming resulted in increased rainfall at the expense of reduced snowfall, and reduced snow accumulation (or earlier snowmelt) during the cold season. In the CRB, these changes were accompanied by more frequent rain-on-snow events. Overall, they induced higher likelihood of wintertime flooding and reduced runoff and soil moisture in the summer. Changes in surface water and energy budgets in the CRB and SSJ basin were affected mainly by changes in surface temperature, which were statistically significant at the 0.95 confidence level. Changes in precipitation, while spatially incoherent, were not statistically significant except for the drying trend during summer. Because snow and runoff are highly sensitive to spatial distributions of temperature and precipitation, this study shows that (1) downscaling provides more realistic estimates of hydrologic impacts in mountainous regions such as the western U.S., and (2) despite relatively small changes in temperature and precipitation, changes in snowpack and runoff can be much larger on monthly to seasonal time scales because the effects of temperature and precipitation are integrated over time and space through various surface hydrological and land-atmosphere feedback processes. Although the results reported in this study were derived from an ensemble of regional climate simulations driven by a global climate model that displays low climate sensitivity compared with most other models, climate change was found to significantly affect water resources in the western U.S. by the mid twenty-first century.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 62 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 216 SN - 01650009 AB - Six approaches for downscaling climate model outputs for use in hydrologic simulation were evaluated, with particular emphasis on each method''s ability to produce precipitation and other variables used to drive a macroscale hydrology model applied at much higher spatial resolution than the climate model. Comparisons were made on the basis of a twenty-year retrospective (1975–1995) climate simulation produced by the NCAR-DOE Parallel Climate Model (PCM), and the implications of the comparison for a future (2040–2060) PCM climate scenario were also explored. The six approaches were made up of three relatively simple statistical downscaling methods – linear interpolation (LI), spatial disaggregation (SD), and bias-correction and spatial disaggregation (BCSD) – each applied to both PCM output directly (at T42 spatial resolution), and after dynamical downscaling via a Regional Climate Model (RCM – at ½-degree spatial resolution), for downscaling the climate model outputs to the ⅛-degree spatial resolution of the hydrological model. For the retrospective climate simulation, results were compared to an observed gridded climatology of temperature and precipitation, and gridded hydrologic variables resulting from forcing the hydrologic model with observations. The most significant findings are that the BCSD method was successful in reproducing the main features of the observed hydrometeorology from the retrospective climate simulation, when applied to both PCM and RCM outputs. Linear interpolation produced better results using RCM output than PCM output, but both methods (PCM-LI and RCM-LI) lead to unacceptably biased hydrologic simulations. Spatial disaggregation of the PCM output produced results similar to those achieved with the RCM interpolated output; nonetheless, neither PCM nor RCM output was useful for hydrologic simulation purposes without a bias-correction step. For the future climate scenario, only the BCSD-method (using PCM or RCM) was able to produce hydrologically plausible results. With the BCSD method, the RCM-derived hydrology was more sensitive to climate change than the PCM-derived hydrology.

Storing them using standard uncompressed formats results in large files that are expensive to store and slow to load and transmit. Many efficient mesh compression techniques have been proposed, but scientists and engineers often refrain from using them because they modify the mesh data. While connectivity is encoded in a lossless manner, the floating-point coordinates associated with the vertices are quantized onto a uniform integer grid for efficient predictive compression. Although a fine enough grid can usually represent the data with sufficient precision, the original floating-point values will change, regardless of grid resolution. In this paper we describe how to compress floating-point coordinates using predictive coding in a completely lossless manner. The initial quantization step is omitted and predictions are calculated in floating-point. The predicted and the actual floating-point values are then broken up into sign, exponent, and mantissa and their corrections are compressed separately with context-based arithmetic coding. As the quality of the predictions varies with the exponent, we use the exponent to switch between different arithmetic contexts. Although we report compression results using the popular parallelogram predictor, our approach works with any prediction scheme. The achieved bit-rates for lossless floating-point compression nicely complement those resulting from uniformly quantizing with different precisions.

Using data covering the period from May 1996 to September 2001, for the California-Oregon Border, Palo Verde, Cinergy, Entergy, and Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland markets, we examine the volatility of electricity wholesale prices over time and across markets. We estimate volatility using a TARCH model to study the differences among markets and the seasonal characteristics of each market. For all markets, we find strong evidence for a downward trend in the ARCH term and a significant negative asymmetric effect over the sample period. We also document important differences among the regional electricity markets not only with respect to wholesale price volatility and seasonal variations, but also with respect to asymmetric properties and persistence of volatility.

By making a direct appeal to the theory underlying price index numbers used by the energy decomposition literature, this note proposes the chain weighted Fisher Ideal Index as a formula that solves the "residual problem." The connection to index number theory also allows us to illustrate that the measures of activity used to define energy intensity need not be additive across the sectors that are involved in the decomposition. We give an empirical example using recent U.S. manufacturing data of the Fisher Ideal Index, compared to the Tornqvist Divisia index, a popular index in the energy literature.

The software platform contains multiple modules that can be used to simulate relevant features, events, and processes that include water flux through the cover, source-term release, vadose-zone transport, saturated-zone transport, gas transport, and exposure pathways. The component models are integrated into a probabilistic total-system performance-assessment model within a drag-and-drop software platform. Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses can be conducted that yield the following primary benefits: (1) quantification of uncertainty in the simulated performance metrics; (2) identification of parameters most important to performance; and (3) comparison of alternative designs to optimize cost and performance. A case study has been performed using the Monticello Mill Tailings Site in Utah to illustrate the important features and benefits of the modeling approach and software.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/01//1/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 139 EP - 147 SN - 0013936X AB - The reactions of eight model contaminants with nine types of granular Fe(O) were studied in batch experiments using consistent experimental conditions. The model contaminants (herein referred to as "reductates" because they were reduced by the iron metal) included cations (Cu[SUP2+]), anions (CrO[SUB4][SUP2-], NO[SUB3][SUP-], and 5,5',7,7'-indigotetrasulfonate), and neutral species (2-chloroacetophenone, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, carbon tetrachloride, and trichioroethene). The diversity of this range of reductates offers a uniquely broad perspective on the reactivity of Fe(O). Rate constants for disappearance of the reductates vary over as much as four orders of magnitude for particular reductates (due to differences in the nine types of iron) but differences among the reductates were even larger, ranging over almost seven orders of magnitude. Various ways of summarizing the data all suggest that relative reactivities with Fe(O) vary in the order Cu[SUP2+] 5,5',7,7'-indigotetrasulfonate > 2-chloroacetophenone, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene > carbon tetrachloride, CrO[SUB4][SUP2-] > trichloroethene > NO[SUB3][SUP-]. Although the reductate has the largest effect on disappearance kinetics, more subtle differences in reactivity due to the type of Fe(O) suggests that removal of CrO[SUB2][SUP2-] and NO[SUB3][SUP-] (the inorganic anions) involves adsorption to oxides on the Fe(O), whereas the disappearance kinetics of all other types of reductants is favored by reduction on comparatively oxide-free metal. Correlation analysis of the disappearance rate constants using descriptors of the reductates calculated by molecular modeling (energies of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, LUMO, highest occupied molecular orbitals, HOMO, and HOMO-LUMO gaps) showed that reactivities generally decrease with increasing E[SUBLUMO] and increasing E[SUBGAP] (and, therefore, increasing chemical hardness η).

The colocation of four instruments for the measurement of volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs) allowed a unique opportunity for the intercomparison of the different in-situ measuring techniques. The instruments included three gas chromatographs, each with a different type of detector, and a Proton-Transfer- Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) with each system designed to measure a different suite of VOCs. Correlation plots and correlation statistics are presented for species measured by more than one of these instruments. The GC instruments were all in agreement to within 10-20% (slope) with coefficients of variation (r[SUP2]) of ≥0.85. The PTR- MS agreement with other instruments was more dependent on species with some very good agreements (r[SUP2] values of ∼0.95 for some aromatics), but isoprene, acetaldehyde and propene were substantially less highly correlated (0.55 PCA > 1,1,1,2-TeCA . 1,1,1-TCA > 1,1,2,2- TeCA > 1,1,2-TCA > 1,1-DCA), and isomers with the more asymmetric distributions of halogen groups were more rapidly reduced than the isomer with greater symmetry (e.g., 1,1,1-TCA > 1,1,2-TCA). The addition of AgI or CuII to green rust suspensions resulted in a substantial increase in the rate of halogenated ethane reduction as well as significant differences in the product distributions with respect to green rust alone.

Compared to the traditional full and half bridge bidirectional dc-dc converters for the similar applications, the new topology has the advantages of simple circuit topology with no total device rating (TDR) penalty, soft-switching implementation without additional devices, high efficiency and simple control. These advantages make the new converter promising for medium and high power applications especially for auxiliary power supply in fuel cell vehicles and power generation where the high power density, low cost, lightweight and high reliability power converters are required. The operating principle, theoretical analysis, and design guidelines are provided in this paper. The simulation and the experimental verifications are also presented.

As new technologies enter the marketplace, and as experience is gained in both their production and use, costs tend to decline with each successive doubling of investment or production. This paper examines learning-by-doing for demand-side technologies. Omitting the learning-by-doing demand-side perspective may introduce a bias into technology forecasts. The implications of this observation through the application of a heuristic model that captures the anticipated electricity service demand within the U.S.over the next 30 years have been examined.

However, averting these health damages by investing in clean energy and industrial technologies and measures can be expensive. Many cities do not have the capital to make such investments or may prefer to invest that capital elsewhere. In this article, we examine the city of Shanghai, China, and perform an illustrative cost/benefit analysis of air pollution control. Between 1995 and 2020 we expect that Shanghai will continue to grow rapidly. Increased demands for energy will cause increased use of fossil fuels and increased emissions of air pollutants. In this work, we examine emissions of particles smaller than 10 μm in diameter (PM10), which have been associated with inhalation health effects. We hypothesize the establishment of a new technology strategy for coal-fired power generation after 2010 and a new industrial coal-use policy. The health benefits of pollution reduction are compared with the investment costs for the new strategies. The study shows that the benefit-to-cost ratio is in the range of 1–5 for the power-sector initiative and 2–15 for the industrial-sector initiative. Thus, there appear to be considerable net benefits for these strategies, which could be very large depending on the valuation of health effects in China today and in the future. This study therefore provides economic grounds for supporting investments in air pollution control in developing cities like Shanghai.

These equations are provided for both the bank average and the individual standards constituting the bank over the period of certification, which is typically a year. Use of the Welch-Satterthwaite Approximation (W-SA) can significantly reduce the number of calibrations required to provide satisfactory levels of uncertainty for the bank average. We first review the standard approach in metrology for expressing the uncertainty in a measurement system. We provide an intuitive discussion of the W-SA along with examples of its use and information on its usefulness when there are only a few degrees of freedom. A case study involving a bank of four solid state voltage standards is presented in detail. We also propose an analysis technique that can be used to investigate the usefulness and potential limitations of the W-SA when estimating measurement uncertainties. The analysis technique can be used to estimate approximation error, sampling error, and the coverage probabilities of confidence intervals computed using the W-SA.

JO - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Air & Waste Management Association) JF - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Air & Waste Management Association) Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 54 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 105 EP - 110 SN - 10962247 AB - The use of sorbents has been proposed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in ambient air at concentrations in the parts-per-billion (ppb) range, which is typical of indoor air quality applications. Sorbent materials, such as granular activated carbon and molecular sieves, are used to remove VOCs from gas streams in industrial applications, where VOC concentrations are typically in the parts-per-million range. A method for evaluating the VOC removal performance of sorbent materials using toluene concentrations in the ppb range is described. Breakthrough times for toluene at concentrations from 2 to 7500 ppb are presented for a hydrophobic molecular sieve at 25% relative humidity. By increasing the ratio of challenge gas flow rate to the mass of the sorbent bed and decreasing both the mass of sorbent in the bed and the sorbent particle size, this method reduces the required experimental times by a factor of up to several hundred compared with the proposed American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers method, ASHRAE 145P, making sorbent performance evaluation for ppb-range VOC removal more convenient. The method can be applied to screen sorbent materials for application in the removal of VOCs from indoor air.

A representative thickness of 1.1 in. for thermal test specimens was determined for cellulose insulation in the density range that was studied. Measurements for insulations with known amounts of fire retardant chemical showed a negligible effect of the fire retardant on the thermal resistivity of the insulation. The test data show that the U.S.-made loose-fill cellulose that was studied had a 5% greater thermal resistivity than the Korean-made product.

Yet even before Microsoft released W2K the software giant announced that it would release Service Pack 1 (SP1) for this operating system. The information security community immediately wondered whether the claims about the much improved security in W2K were true; many events and findings since then have reinforced this doubt. After a reign of three years as Microsoft''s flagship operating system, last year Microsoft rolled out its newest server operating system, Windows Server 2003 (WS2003), signaling the end of an era for the W2K operating system. Windows XP (WXP) had already supplanted W2K Professional as the newest workstation operating system several years before. This is not to say that nobody uses W2K any more—to the contrary. But as W2K continues to increasingly take a proverbial back seat to newer Microsoft operating systems, now is a good time to take a retroactive look at W2K from a security viewpoint. Was it a success from a security perspective? What were its major failings and why? This paper addresses these issues.

Due to the complex biology of HIV infection, there is increasing concern that an HIV vaccine may provide incomplete protection from infection, In addition to reducing susceptibility to disease, an HIV vaccine may also prolong life in people who acquire HIV despite vaccination, and may reduce HIV transmission. We evaluated how varying degrees of vaccine efficacy for susceptibility, progression of disease, and infectivity influence the costs and benefits of a vaccine program in a population of men who have sex with men. We found that the health benefits, and thus cost effectiveness, of HIV vaccines were strikingly dependent on each of the types of vaccine efficacy. We also found that vaccines with even modest efficacy provided substantial health benefits and were cost effective or cost saving. Although development of an HIV vaccine has been extremely difficult, even a partially effective HIV vaccine could dramatically change the course of the HIV epidemic.

The libraries have successfully partnered to serve different clientele at a combined reference desk since June 1997. Although having separate staffs, catalogs, and collections, the libraries share a single reference/information desk. The reference staffs work together to serve a very diverse clientele including students, faculty, engineers, scientists, contractors, regulators, and the public. The combined libraries offer significant benefits to both library staffs and their users. The libraries have expanded access to collections and information expertise, enhanced staff training opportunities, and provided additional hours of reference service to patrons while at the same time maintaining the individual identities the two libraries.

Matrix Anal. Appl., 23 (2002), pp. 706–727, we developed numerical algorithms for computing sparse low-rank approximations of matrices, and we also provided a detailed error analysis of the proposed algorithms together with some numerical experiments. The low-rank approximations are constructed in a certain factored form with the degree of sparsity of the factors controlled by some user-specified parameters. In this paper, we cast the sparse low-rank approximation problem in the framework of penalized optimization problems. We discuss various approximation schemes for the penalized optimization problem which are more amenable to numerical computations. We also include some analysis to show the relations between the original optimization problem and the reduced one. We then develop a globally convergent discrete Newton-like iterative method for solving the approximate penalized optimization problems. We also compare the reconstruction errors of the sparse low-rank approximations computed by our new methods with those obtained using the methods in the earlier paper and several other existing methods for computing sparse low-rank approximations. Numerical examples show that the penalized methods are more robust and produce approximations with factors which have fewer columns and are sparser.

If this model turns out to be a much better way of delivering advertisements, one will see a substantial advantage for ad-supported cable over broadcast television for broadcasters, the issue will not be about fighting to get their advertisements to viewers intact but rather one of getting access, possibly through the retransmission consent process, to the ad personalization technology made possible by the insertion of intelligence and storage into the set-top box.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) ranged from 20 to more than 160 Mg/ha across the sampled sites. Lowest SOC levels were found in uplands and highest levels in riparian soils. We attributed differences in bulk density and SOC among cover types to the inclusion of woodlot soils in the analysis. Paired comparison found few differences between poplar and agricultural crops. Sites with significant comparisons varied in magnitude and direction. Relatively greater SOC was often observed in poplar when native soil carbon was low, but there were important exceptions. Woodlots consistently contained greater SOC than the other crops, especially at depth. We observed little difference between paired poplar and switchgrass, both promising bioenergy crops. There was no evidence of changes in poplar SOC relative to adjacent agricultural soils when considered for stand ages up to 12 years. Highly variable native SOC levels and subtle changes over time make verification of soil carbon sequestration among land cover types difficult. In addition to soil carbon storage potential, it is therefore important to consider opportunities offered by long-term sequestration of carbon in solid wood products and carbon-offset through production of bioenergy crops. Furthermore, short rotation poplars and switchgrass offer additional carbon sequestration and other environmental benefits such as soil erosion control, runoff abatement, and wildlife habitat improvement.

Both of these techniques have potential use for measuring aspects of carbon content and its role in the soil ecosystem. To better understand the relationship between the microbial community and the amount of carbon within mine soils, we examined the diversity among fungal communities in soils with different carbon content using TRFLP. TRFLP was run on 18S rDNA from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using primers specific for fungi. Results from the TRFLP were compared to sequencing of 18S clones. The diversity based on sequence analysis was much higher than that indicated by the TRFLP-based analysis. Rarefaction analysis of the data indicated that the total diversity was even higher than we were able to measure with both levels of effort; however, it was clear that we effectively sampled the dominant populations. The LIBS technique displayed a strong linear relationship when compared to conventional techniques (LECO and Walkley–Black) of measuring carbon in soils. In addition, discrepancies were noted between the two conventional techniques for soils with high carbon content.

Experimental studies of biochemical reactions on membrane surfaces are challenging, as they require a membrane environment that is fluid (like cell membranes) but nevertheless allows for the efficient detection and characterization of molecular interactions. One approach uses lipid membranes supported on solid substrates such as silica or polymers: although the membrane is trapped near the solid interface, it retains natural fluidity and biological functionality and can be implanted with membrane proteins for functional studies. But the detection of molecular interactions involving membrane-bound species generally requires elaborate techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance or total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. Here we demonstrate that colloidal phase transitions of membrane-coated silica beads provide a simple and label-free method for monitoring molecular interactions on lipid membrane surfaces. By adjusting the lipid membrane composition and hence the pair interaction potential between the membrane-supporting silica beads, we poise our system near a phase transition so that small perturbations on the membrane surface induce dramatic changes in the macroscopic organization of the colloid. We expect that this approach, used here to probe with high sensitivity protein binding events at membrane surfaces, can be applied to study a broad range of cell membrane processes.

Contamination of Lake Washington sediments by petrogenic aliphatic hydrocarbons and pyrolytic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via atmospheric deposition and stormwater runoff peaked between the 1950s and 1970s and has since decreased as stormwater inputs have been reduced. Radiocarbon signatures (Δ[sup14]C, %[subo]) of total organic carbon decrease (increased "age") in the depth interval of highest hydrocarbon concentration. Graphitic black carbon in the year 2000 core showed a historical profile similar to that of the PAH; however high background sediments deposited before the founding of Seattle indicates a considerable nonindustrial component derived from weathering in the watershed. Unlike hydrocarbon contamination, input of terrestrial organic matter (tracked by long-chain fatty alcohols) has increased throughout the late 20th century, documenting a shift in pollutant sources away from hydrocarbons and toward anthropogenic erosion of the region's soils.

In the absence of added electron donor, NO[sub3][sup-], Tc(Vll), and U(Vl) reduction was not detectable. However, in the presence of added ethanol, glucose, or acetate to serve as electron donor, rapid NO[sub3][sup-] utilization was observed. The accumulation of NO[sub2][sup-], the absence of detectable NH[sub4][sup+] accumulation, and the production of N[sub2]O during in situ acetylene-block experiments suggest that NO[sub3][sup-] was being consumed via denitrification. Tc(Vll) reduction occurred concurrently with NO[sub3][sup-] reduction, but U(Vl) reduction was not observed until two or more donor additions resulted in iron-reducing conditions, as detected by the production of Fe(ll). Reoxidation/ remobilization of U(lV) was also observed in tests conducted with high (∼120 mM) but not low (∼1 mM) initial NO[sub3][sup-] concentrations and not during acetylene-block experiments conducted with high initial NO[sub3][sup-]. These results suggest that NO[sub3][sup-]-dependent microbial U(IV) oxidation may inhibit or reverse U(Vl) reduction and decrease the stability of U(IV) in this environment Changes in viable biomass, community composition, metabolic status, and respiratory state of organisms harvested from down-well microbial samplers deployed during these tests were consistent with the conclusions that electron donor additions resulted in microbial growth, the creation of anaerobic conditions, and an increase in activity of metal-reducing organisms (e.g., Geobacter. The results demonstrate that it is possible to stimulate the simultaneous bioreduction of U(Vl) and Tc(Vll) mixtures commonly found with NO[sub3][sup-] co-contamination at radioactive waste sites.

In E. coli, the χ:ψ heterodimer serves as a bridge between the clamp-loader complex and the single-stranded DNA-binding protein. We determined the crystal structure of the χ:ψ heterodimer at 2.1 Å resolution. Although neither χ (147 residues) nor ψ (137 residues) bind to nucleotides, the fold of each protein is similar to the folds of mononucleotide-(χ) or dinucleotide-(ψ) binding proteins, without marked similarity to the structures of the clamp-loader subunits. Genes encoding χ and ψ proteins are found to be readily identifiable in several bacterial genomes and sequence alignments showed that residues at the χ:ψ interface are highly conserved in both proteins, suggesting that the heterodimeric interaction is of functional significance. The conservation of surface-exposed residues is restricted to the interfacial region and to just two other regions in the χ:ψ complex. One of the conserved regions was found to be located on χ, distal to the ψ interaction region, and we identified this as the binding site for a C-terminal segment of the single-stranded DNA-binding protein. The other region of sequence conservation is localized to an N-terminal segment of ψ (26 residues) that is disordered in the crystal structure. We speculate that ψ is linked to the clamp-loader complex by this flexible, but conserved, N-terminal segment, and that the χ:ψ unit is linked to the single-stranded DNA-binding protein via the distal surface of χ. The base of the clamp-loader complex has an open C-shaped structure, and the shape of the χ:ψ complex is suggestive of a loose docking within the crevice formed by the open faces of the δ and δ′ subunits of the clamp-loader.

Chronic exposures are being inferred from outdoor pollutant concentrations at neighborhood schools. This paper reports primarily weeklong integrated NO2 and NOX concentrations measured with passive samplers placed outside at 10 elementary schools during 14 weeks in spring and 8 weeks in fall 2001. Measurements were also made outside selected student residences to examine spatial variability within three school neighborhoods. Regional concentrations of NO2 and NOX varied widely from week to week. School site data were normalized to measurements at a nearby regional monitoring station to facilitate analysis of relative pollutant exposures at the neighborhood schools. Normalized concentrations were consistent at each school throughout the study. Schools located upwind or far downwind of freeways were generally indistinguishable from one another and regional pollution levels. For school and neighborhood sites within 350 m downwind of a freeway, concentrations increased with decreasing downwind distance. The highest normalized concentrations occurred at a school located directly adjacent to a major freeway and a shopping center. In this case, normalized NO2 and NOX were ∼60% and ∼100% higher than regional background levels. At three schools within 130–230 m downwind of a freeway, normalized NO2 and NOX were ∼20–30% and ∼50–80% higher than regional levels. Validation testing of the passive samplers indicated precision of better than 5% for both NO2 and NOX when samplers were deployed outside for 1-week periods. Passive sampler results agreed with co-located chemiluminescence measurements to within 8% for NO2 and 3% for NOX.

A well-constrained iron phase diagram, however, is essential to determine the temperatures at core boundaries and the crystal structure of the solid inner core. To date, the iron phase diagram at high pressure has been investigated experimentally through both laser-heated diamond-anvil cell and shock-compression techniques, as well as through theoretical calculations. Despite these contributions, a consensus on the melt line or the high-pressure, high-temperature phase of iron is lacking. Here we report new and re-analysed sound velocity measurements of shock-compressed iron at Earth-core conditions. We show that melting starts at 225 ± 3?GPa (5,100 ± 500?K) and is complete at 260 ± 3?GPa (6,100 ± 500?K), both on the Hugoniot curve-the locus of shock-compressed states.

The spatial and energy distributions of optically active excitons were determined by measuring photoluminescence as a function of temperature and laser excitation and were used as thermodynamic quantities to construct the phase diagram of the exciton system, which demonstrates the existence of distinct phases. Under- f: standing the formation mechanisms of these degenerate exciton systems can open new opportunities for the realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in the solid state.

Having successfully stabilized a region of bulk water in the center of a water slab, we were able to reproduce and further quantify the experimentally observed abundance of surface "acceptor-only" (19%) and "single-donor" (66%) moieties as well as substantial surface relaxation approaching the liquid-vapor interface. Examination of the orientational dynamics points to a faster relaxation in the interfacial region. Furthermore, the average value of the dipole decreases and the average value of the highest occupied molecular orbital for each water molecule increases approaching the liquidvapor interface. Our results support the idea that the surface contains, on average, far more reactive states than the bulk. Although the nature of bulk liquid water itself remains incompletely understood, there is a more pressing need to characterize water in more complex environments. In particular, the interfaces between liquid water and hydrophobic material or air engender important phenomena in biology (1-5) and atmospheric science (6, 7), respectively. These two interfaces seem to have much in common (7), and both are currently the subject of intense scrutiny.

The team obtained mercury data over a 9-day period from inside the factory, with the first known concurrent awareness of manufacturing operations. Emissions were measured from the roof vent, the open-sided basement below the production cells, and from surrounding soils and sealed waste ponds. Some emphasis was also placed on assessing the spatial distribution of Hg concentrations within an operating cell room. The team used real-time and near-real-time Hg analyzers including a Tekran 5-min integrated sampler modified for cell-room use, Lumex RA915+ and Jerome 431-X portable Hg analyzers, and a long-path integrating DOAS system for gaseous elemental Hg, coupled with an optical anemometer for measuring vent-averaged air flow rates. The integrated beam (DOAS) and point measurements of Hg° compared favorably.One principal finding is that fugitive air emissions from the cell-room roof vent are episodic and vary with factory operating conditions (maintenance and minor operational perturbations). Therefore, air emissions are likely to vary widely among factories on a worldwide basis, in accordance with operating procedures followed at each. Properly positioned, real-time mercury vapor analyzers are potentially valuable tools to locate small-scale process leaks, and to estimate overall emissions from the cell-room building. A preliminary estimate of daily fugitive Hg emissions during this period (∼400–600 g d−1) indicated that the bulk of the atmospheric loss was emitted from the roof vent of the main production building. Sealed waste ponds were not important sources, emitting Hg at rates comparable to background soils.

The principal focus of this study was to determine the fugitive (non-ducted) airborne Hg emissions from the main production equipment located in the “cell building” during extended period operations, including maintenance events. Other Hg monitoring conducted in and around the plant also included surveys of process areas surrounding the cell building, measurement of Hg fluxes from soil and other exposed surfaces, and speciated Hg measurements of ambient air both “upwind” and “downwind” of the production area as well as the determination of Hg contained in output products and wastes. The study was a collaborative effort among scientists from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Energy''s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Michigan. This paper provides a description of the facility, the rationale and design of the study, and an introduction to companion papers containing the observational data.

In the architecture, the MPEG-21 Digital Item Declaration Language (DIDL) is used as the XML-based format to represent complex digital objects. Through an ingestion process, these objects are stored in a multitude of autonomous OAI-PMH repositories. An OAI-PMH compliant Repository Index keeps track of the creation and location of all those repositories, whereas an Identifier Resolver keeps track of the location of individual complex objects and contained assets. An MPEG-21 DIP Engine and an OpenURL Resolver facilitate the delivery of various disseminations of the stored objects. While these aspects of the architecture are described in the context of the LANL library, the paper will also briefly touch on their more general applicability.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/02//2/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 674 EP - 681 SN - 0013936X AB - Amending poultry litter (PL) with aluminum sulfate (alum) has proven to be effective in reducing water-soluble phosphorus (P) in the litter and in runoff from fields that have received PL applications; it has therefore been suggested as a best management practice. Although its effectiveness has been demonstrated on a macroscopic scale in the field, little is known about P speciation in either alum-amended or unamended lifter. This knowledge is important for the evaluation of the long-term stability and bioavailability of P, which is a necessary prerequisite for the assessment of the sustainability of intensive poultry operations. Both solid-state MAS and CP-MAS [sup31P NMR as well as [sup31]P {[sup27]Al}-TRAPDOR were used to investigate P speciation in alum-amended and unamended PL. The results indicate the presence of a complex mixture of organic and inorganic orthophosphate phases. A calcium phosphate phase, probably a surface precipitate on calcium carbonate, could be identified in both unamended and alum-amended PL, as well as physically bound HPO[sub4,sup2-]. Phosphate associated with Al was found in the alum-amended PL most probably a mixture of a poorly ordered wavellite and phosphate surface complexes on aluminum hydroxide that had been formed by the hydrolysis of alum. However, a complex mixture of organic and inorganic phosphate species could not be resolved. Phosphate associated with Al comprised on average 40 ± 14% of the total P in alum-amended PL, whereas calcium phosphate phases comprised on average 7 ± 4% in the alum-amended PL and 14 ± 5% in the unamended PL.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/02//2/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 783 EP - 789 SN - 0013936X AB - The contribution of halocarbons from plant weathering to the total organohalogen budget of terrestrial systems is gaining recognition. To evaluate the formation of such halocarbons, speciation of chlorine in Sequoia sempervirens (redwood) needles was examined in the presence of an external chloroperoxidase (CPO) enzyme using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The Cl forms in fresh and naturally weathered needles and in model laboratory reactions were compared. To provide a straightforward analogue to the enzymatic chlorination in plants, chlorination reactions were conducted for phenol, a common moiety of plant macromolecules. Plant material chlorination was also examined in the presence of hypochlorite in an ancillary mechanistic investigation. The dominant form of Cl in fresh, unreacted plant material was found to be inorganic Cl[sup-], which was partially converted to organochlorine in the presence of CPO. Chlorination is affected by the nature of reactant (CPO, H[sub2]O[sub2]) addition, reaction time, and temperature. The organochlorines produced in these laboratory investigations closely resemble those produced during the natural weathering of redwood needles. A striking consistency in chlorine speciation observed among the various sample types suggests that (i) CPO produced by terrestrial organisms could play a vital role in the generation of organochlorines associated with the degradation of plant material and (ii) initial targets of enzymatic chlorination might include lignin-like macromolecules rich in aromatic character and hydroxyl groups. These findings lend further credibility to a significant biogenic contribution to the global organohalogen burden by elucidating a probable route of enzymatic chlorination of natural organic matter in terrestrial systems.

The model does not use flux corrections at the air–sea interface, nor is the ocean “spun up” prior to coupling. When increasing CO2 at the rate of 1% per year to twice its original level and keeping it constant thereafter, the model responds with a 2 °C increase in 200 years in the global mean surface air temperature and a virtually unchanged Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC). Due to the predominantly isopycnic character of HYCOM, geographic details of the 3-D thermohaline circulation in potential density space can be extracted from the model output with relative ease. The analysis confirms that even regional details of the MOC in this experiment are rather insensitive to the climate change brought on by CO2 doubling. Furthermore, the analysis reveals strong similarities between the simulated and the observed MOC.

This mode utilizes image pairs with common synthetic apertures but different squint angles allowing automated stereo correspondence and disparity estimation using complex correlation calculations. This paper presents two Ku-band, coherent cross-track stereo collects over rolling and rugged terrain. The first collect generates a digital elevation map (DEM) with 1-m posts over rolling terrain using complex SAR imagery with spatial resolution of 0.125 m and a stereo convergence angle of 13.8°. The second collect produces multiple DEMs with 3-rn posts over rugged terrain utilizing complex SAR imagery with spatial resolutions better than 0.5 m and stereo convergence angles greater than 40°. The resulting DEMS are compared to ground-truth DEMS and relative height root-mean-square (RMS), linear error 90-percent confidence (LE9O), and maximum height error are reported.

This paper presents algorithms to compute the Fourier spectrum of a decision tree and outlines a technique to construct a decision tree from its Fourier spectrum. It offers a framework to aggregate decision trees in their Fourier representations.

In light of this development the use of the proton beam itself should be considered for the most accurate method of treatment planning. X-ray computed tomography (XCT), which is widely available, has been used for the treatment planning for proton therapy. The basic interactions of XCT in matter are fundamentally different than those of the protons. Thus, the resulting density map from XCT is only an approximation of the true density map for proton therapy. Progress in proton computed tomography (pCT) is presented in this work. The experimental requirements for pCT are examined, and data analysis and Monte Carlo simulations are used to estimate the feasibility of pCT as an imaging modality.

Experiments have been performed and compared for decomposition of a nitrogen oxide (NO) using PCD and DBD, and the electric field and average electron energy in the streamer are measured in each discharge by using line ratio of N2+ to N2. The measured results of electron energy reasonably explain in tennis of "G-value" how the measured NO removal efficiencies have come out. The PCD having high electron energy turns out to be more efficient for generating N radicals, whereas the DBD containing relatively low electron energy is more effective for producing 0 radicals. Three-dimensional (3-D) and one-dimensional (1-D) numerical simulations have been carried out to understand the observed streamer dynamics in both the PCI) and DBD reactors. The 3-D numerical simulation has successfully illustrated the images of streamer front propagation in a wire-cylinder PCD reactor. In the 1-D simulation for the DBD, the recurrence phenomena of streamers have numerically appeared during the rising phase of an ac voltage. Furthermore, these numerical models have properly predicted the electric fields that are comparable with the corresponding average electron energies estimated from the emission spectral measurements for the PCD and DED.

Use of a plasma lens in this way has been successfully demonstrated in a series of experiments carried out collaboratively between the Institute of Physics, National Academy of Sciences, Kiev, Ukraine, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, in recent years. Mere, we briefly review the plasma lens fundamentals, peculiarities of focusing heavy ion beams, and summarize some recent developments (experiments, computer simulations, theory). We show that there is a very narrow range of low magnetic field for which the optical properties of the lens improve markedly. This opens up some attractive possibilities for the development of a new-generation compact lens based on permanent magnets. Preliminary experimental results obtained at Kiev and Berkeley on the operation of a permanent magnet plasma lens for manipulating wide aperture high-current heavy ion beams are presented and summarized.

MTF is a "potentially low-cost path to fusion which is intermediate in plasma regime between magnetic (MFE) and inertial fusion energy (IFE). MTF involves the Compression of a magnetized target plasma and pressure times volume (PdV) heating to fusion relevant conditions inside a converging flux conserving boundary. We have chosen to demonstrate MTF by using a field-reversed configuration (FRC) as our magnetized target plasma and an imploding metal liner for compression. These choices take advantage of significant past scientific and technical accomplishments in MFE and defense programs research and should yield substantial plasma performance (nr > 1013 s-cm³ T > 5 key) using an available pulsed-power implosion facility at modest cost. We have recently shown the density, temperature, and lifetime of this FRC to be within a factor of 2-3 of that required for use as a suitable target plasma for MIT compression for a fusion demonstration.

This paper presents the schematic and basic controls of a reconfigurable FACTS system that can be used to realize the major voltage-sourced-converter FACTS topologies: the StatCom, the static synchronous series compensator (SSSC), and the unified power-flow controller (UPFC). Furthermore, the state models and control algorithms for the FACTS devices are proposed. The digital signal processor (DSP)-based control system enables new control methods to be rapidly implemented. The comparison of the experimental, and simulation results is also provided to verify the proposed controls. The paper culminates in a list of suggested experiments appropriate for an elective/graduate course in electric power systems.

However, excessive damping increases the energy required by an operator for commanding motion. The objective of this paper is to describe a new force reflecting teleoperation methodology that reduces operator energy requirements without sacrificing stability. We begin by describing a new approach to modeling and identifying the remote environment of the teleoperation system. We combine a conventional multi-input, multi-output recursive least squares (MIMO-RLS) system identification, identifying in real-time the remote environment impedance, with a discretized representation of the remote environment. This methodology generates a time-varying, position-dependent representation of the remote environment dynamics. Next, we adapt the target impedance of the master robot with respect to the dynamic model of the remote environment. The environment estimation and impedance adaptation are executed simultaneously and in real time. We demonstrate, through experimentation, that this approach significantly reduces the energy required by an operator to execute remote tasks while simultaneously providing sufficient damping to ensure contact stability.

Qualitative aspects of the CTL response, including the epitope specificity, affinity, and clonal composition, may affect the ability of T cells to mediate infection control. Although it is clear that the mode of introduction and the dose of antigen can affect these qualitative aspects of the response, little is understood of the mechanisms. We have developed an in silico model of the CTL response, which we use to study the impact of antigen dose, antigen kinetics and repeated antigen delivery on the response. The results suggest that recent observations on differences in response to killed antigen can be explained simply by differences in timing of T-cell activation. These findings may provide insight into how different vaccination strategies can quantitatively and qualitatively affect the outcome of the immune response.

Accurate scientific information remains limited in the area of biological warfare agents. However, new guidelines and calculated cleanup values are emerging for initial re-entry and long-term reoccupation following use of chemical warfare agents. This article addresses airborne, soil, and surface exposures following release of G-type chemical warfare agents and VX. Cleanup goals should be tailored to the type of population that may be exposed, potential exposure times, and other scenario-specific considerations. Three different airborne concentrations are proposed for cleanup of public sector facilities. One value is recommended for initial re-entry; a more conservative value is recommended for long-term monitoring and increased public confidence; and a third, even more conservative concentration represents essentially a no-effect level for round-the-clock airborne exposure. Health-based cleanup levels are provided for contaminated residential and industrial soil. Results are presented on the outcome of a preliminary risk assessment to determine safe surface levels (e.g., walls, floors, and handrails) for cleanup after exposure to the G agents and VX. Because specific cleanup criteria for most biological warfare agents remain problematic, recommendations are made for filling the knowledge gaps.

This article details full sparse tiling, a run-time reordering transformation that improves the data locality for stationary iterative methods such as Gauss-Seidel operating on sparse matrices. In scientific applications such as finite element analysis, these iterative methods dominate the execution time. Full sparse tiling chooses a permutation of the rows and columns of the sparse matrix, and then an order of execution that achieves better data locality.

An in situ load spring calibrated on a logarithmic scale from micronewtons to millinewtons, optical microscopy and Michelson interferometry are used to characterize its performance. The actuator consists of a force-amplifying plate that spans two voltage-controlled clamps, and walking is achieved by appropriately sequencing signals to these three components. In the clamps, normal force is borne by equipotential rubbing counterfaces, enabling friction to be measured against load. Using different monolayer coatings, we show that the static coefficient of friction can be changed from 0.14 to 1.04, and that it is load-independent over a broad range. We further find that the static coefficient of friction does not accurately predict the force generated by the actuator and attribute this to nanometer-scale presliding tangential deflections.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 1 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 110 EP - 118 SN - 15459624 AB - Twenty-seven laboratory experiments were conducted in a simulated smoking room to quantify rates of environmental to-bacco smoke (ETS) leakage to a nonsmoking area as a function of the physical and operational characteristics of the smoking room. Data are presented for the various types of leakage flows, the effect of these leaks on smoking room performance and nonsmoker exposure, and the relative importance of each leakage mechanism. The results indicate that the first priority for an effective smoking room is to maintain it depressurized with respect to adjoining nonsmoking areas. The amount of ETS pumped out by the smoking room door when it is opened and closed can be reduced significantly by substituting a sliding door for the standard swing-type door. An "open doorway" configuration used twice the ventilation flow of those with smoking room doors, but yielded less reduction in nonsmoker exposure. Measured results correlated well with results mod-eled with mass-balance equations (R 2 =0.82--0.99). Most of these results are based on sulfur hexafluoride (SF6 ) tracer gas leakage. Because five measured ETS tracers showed good correlation with SF6 , these conclusions should apply to ETS leakage as well. Field tests of a designated smoking room in an office building qualitatively agreed with model predictions.

Aerosols generated were simulated environmental tobacco smoke, cedar wood smoke, cooking oil fumes, and propane stove particles. The time-integrated responses of three nephelometers and a monitor for particle-bound polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were compared with gravimetric respirable suspended particulate matter (RSP) in a controlled-atmosphere chamber. In general, the monitor responses increased linearly with increasing mass concentration. However, the two monitors that reported mass per volume concentrations tended to overreport the actual RSP concentrations by factors up to 4.4. The real-time PAH monitor did not respond to cooking oil fumes, indicative of little PAH being present in the aerosol. One of the monitors that has been used in a variety of studies reported in the literature (DustTrak) was collocated with gravimetric RSP samplers in several hospitality venues in the Louisville, KY, area. Field studies indicated that the units overreported actual RSP concentrations by factors of 2.6-3.1, depending on whether the sampling was conducted in the nonsmoking or smoking sections of the facilities.

We can define important classes of STSP inequalities by performing Naddef's and Rinaldi's (1993) node-lifting operation on STSP inequalities defined on small graphs. We present efficient methods for exactly separating large classes of STSP inequalities that arise from an STSP relaxation related to node lifting. In particular, we show how to find efficiently the most-violated inequality in the class of STSP inequalities having a backbone set with a constant number k of vertices, and thus separate in polynomial time the class of all STSP inequalities whose backbone set has at most k vertices.

In standard pattern search, decisions regarding the update of the iterate and the step-length control parameter are synchronized implicitly across all search directions. We lose this feature in asynchronous parallel pattern search since the search along each direction proceeds semiautonomously. By bounding the value of the step-length control parameter after any step that produces decrease along a single search direction, we can prove that all the processes share a common accumulation point and, if the function is continuously differentiable, that such a point is a stationary point of the standard nonlinear unconstrained optimization problem.

At issue are some fundamental scientific challenges, which could be overcome by deeper understanding of charge and heat transport in semiconductor nanostructures.

In a manner similar to that of entangled ropes, polymer chains can slide past but not through each other. Tube models of polymer dynamics and rheology are based on the idea that entanglements confine a chain to small fluctuations around a primitive path that follows the coarse-grained chain contour. Here we provide a microscopic foundation for these highly successful phenomenological models.

They were examined using electron or X-ray microprobe methods, as intact specimens or sectioned perpendicular to their basal planes. Cs+ was observed to Preferentially sorb to mica edges, steps on mica surfaces, or fractured regions. The localization of Cs conformed to hypothesized strong binding to frayed edge sites in preference to sites on basal planes. In section, Cs+ was found to penetrate the mica interior, forming discrete zones of concentration, particularly in muscovite. In biotite, Cs was more abundant, permeating the clasts, but also forming discrete zones of higher concentration. Concentrated Cs on both clast edges and within clast interiors corresponded to microscopic but relatively extensive zones where K was depleted. The localization of sorbed Cs in areas where K was depleted suggested that weathering reactions had caused the formation of frayed edge sites within the micas. Cs+ accessed crystal interiors by diffusion along channels following crystal defects, cracks, or partings where pore fluids had previously migrated to form the interior alteration zones. On the nanometer scale, areas with localized Cs were disrupted, confirming that frayed edge sites were developed in clast interiors.

New evidence from optical studies highlights the nature of the many body interactions involved. Throughout the history of superconductivity, optical spectroscopy through the scattering of light by a material, has been a vital tool. It was the existence of a gap in the excitation-energy spectrum of electrons, first observed in optical studies, that set researchers to a theory of superconductivity. This time, however, the revelations pertain to the underlying interactions in high-temperature superconductivity.

A fundamental question remains, however, as to where these incompatible elements reside before formation of the fluid phase. Here we show that partitioning of calcium between the grain interiors and grain boundaries of olivine in natural and synthetic olivine-rich aggregates follows a thermodynamic model for equilibrium grain-boundary segregation. The model predicts that grain boundaries can be the primary storage sites for elements with large ionic radius-that is, incompatible elements in the Earth's mantle. This observation provides a mechanism for the selective extraction of these elements and gives a framework for interpreting geochemical signatures in mantle rocks.

Recent work has focused on a sharp ‘kink’ in the kinetic energy spectra of the electrons as a possible signature of the force that creates the superconducting state. The kink has been related to a magnetic resonance and also to phonons. Here we report that infrared spectra of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi-2212), shows that this sharp feature can be separated from a broad background and, interestingly, weakens with doping before disappearing completely at a critical doping level of 0.23 holes per copper atom. Superconductivity is still strong in terms of the transition temperature at this doping (Tc ˜ 55?K), so our results rule out both the magnetic resonance peak and phonons as the principal cause of high-Tc superconductivity. The broad background, on the other hand, is a universal property of the copper-oxygen plane and provides a good candidate signature of the ‘glue’ that binds the electrons.

The water molecules are distributed fairly symmetrically around the ion. In contrast, anions bind to water hydrogen atoms. The water molecules are arranged asymmetrically around the ion, enabling hydrogen bonding between them.

The star LkHα 233 presents a narrow, unpolarized dark lane consistent with an optically thick circumstellar disk blocking our direct view of the star.

Our observations suggest that the anomalies are carried by heteroatomic organic compounds. Theoretical models indicate that lowtemperature formation of organic compounds in cold interstellar molecular clouds can produce carbon and nitrogen fractionations, but it remains to be seen whether the specific effects observed here can be reproduced.

Efficient and expressive interfaces are well established for some linear algebra abstractions, but not for vectors. Vectors differ from other abstractions in the diversity of necessary operations, sometimes requiring dozens for a given algorithm (e.g. interior-point methods for optimization). We discuss a new approach based on operator objects that are transported to the underlying data by the linear algebra library implementation, allowing developers of abstract numerical algorithms to easily extend the functionality regardless of computer architecture, application or data locality/organization. Numerical experiments demonstrate efficient implementation.

That conclusion was officially accepted by the Russian government following publication of DNA tests that were widely publicized. The published study included no discussion of major forensic discrepancies and the information regarding the burial site and remains included irregularities. Furthermore, its conclusion of Romanov identity was based on molecular behaviour that indicates contamination rather than endogenous DNA. The published claim to have amplified by PCR a 1223 bp region of degraded DNA in a single segment for nine individuals and then to have obtained sequence of PCR products derived from that segment without cloning indicates that the Ekaterinburg samples were contaminated with non-degraded, high molecular weight, 'fresh' DNA. Aim : Noting major violations of standard forensic practices, factual inconsistencies, and molecular behaviours that invalidate the claimed identity, we attempted to replicate the findings of the original DNA study. Subject : We analysed mtDNA extracted from a sample of the relic of Grand Duchess Elisabeth, sister of Empress Alexandra. Results : Among clones of multiple PCR targets and products, we observed no complete mtDNA haplotype matching that reported for Alexandra. The consensus haplotype of Elisabeth differs from that reported for Alexandra at four sites. Conclusion : Considering molecular and forensic inconsistencies, the identity of the Ekaterinburg remains has not been established. Our mtDNA haplotype results for Elisabeth provide yet another line of conflicting evidence regarding the identity of the Ekaterinburg remains.

Interest in the phenomena waxed in the 1980s, but models developed at that time remain limited by the lack of both detailed, time-resolved wet deposition pattern measurements for model confirmation and real-time rain data for model execution. Recently, new rain products have become available that can revolutionize real-time use of precipitation scavenging models on the regional scale. We have utilized a 4-km, hourly resolution precipitation data set from the Arkansas Red-Basin River Forecast Center. A standard below-cloud aerosol scavenging model has been modified to incorporate the potentially larger scavenging in heavy rain events. This paper demonstrates the model on a sample rainfall data set. The simulations demonstrate the concentrating effect of rainfall, especially heavy rain, on deposition patterns. Wet deposition played an important role in the simulated fate and transport, removing as much as 70% of the released aerosol.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 63 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 201 EP - 221 SN - 01650009 AB - The Greenland coastal temperatures have followed the early 20th century global warming trend. Since 1940, however, the Greenland coastal stations data have undergone predominantly a cooling trend. At the summit of the Greenland ice sheet the summer average temperature has decreased at the rate of 2.2 °C per decade since the beginning of the measurements in 1987. This suggests that the Greenland ice sheet and coastal regions are not following the current global warming trend. A considerable and rapid warming over all of coastal Greenland occurred in the 1920s when the average annual surface air temperature rose between 2 and 4 °C in less than ten years (at some stations the increase in winter temperature was as high as 6 °C). This rapid warming, at a time when the change in anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases was well below the current level, suggests a high natural variability in the regional climate. High anticorrelations (r = −0.84 to −0.93) between the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) index and Greenland temperature time series suggest a physical connection between these processes. Therefore, the future changes in the NAO and Northern Annular Mode may be of critical consequence to the future temperature forcing of the Greenland ice sheet melt rates.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 368 EP - 375 SN - 0364152X AB - Wetland mitigation is frequently required to compensate for unavoidable impacts to wetlands. Site conditions and landscape context are critical factors influencing the functions that created wetlands perform. We developed a spatial model and used a geographic information system (GIS) to identify suitable locations for wetland mitigation sites. The model used six variables to characterize site conditions: hydrology, soils, historic condition, vegetation cover, adjacent vegetation, and land use. For each variable, a set of suitability scores was developed that indicated the wetland establishment potential for different variable states. Composite suitability scores for individual points on the landscape were determined from the weighted geometric mean of suitability scores for each variable at each point. These composite scores were grouped into five classes and mapped as a wetland mitigation suitability surface with a GIS. Sites with high suitability scores were further evaluated using information on the feasibility of site modification and project cost. This modeling approach could be adapted by planners for use in identifying the suitability of locations as wetland mitigation sites at any site or region.

National resource planning at this scale can benefit by the development of integrated impact analysis toolboxes that allow linkage and integration of hydroclimate models, surface and groundwater hydrologic models, economic and environmental impact models and techniques for social impact assessment. Simulation models used in an assessment of climate change impacts on water resources, agriculture and environmental quality in the San Joaquin Basin of California are described in this paper as well as the challenges faced in linking the component models within an impacts assessment toolbox. Results from simulations performed with several of the tools in the impacts assessment toolbox are presented and discussed. After initially attempting model integration with the public domain, GIS-based modeling framework Modular Modeling System/Object User Interface (MMS/OUI), frustration with the framework’s lack of flexibility to handle monthly timestep models prompted development of a common geodatabase to allow linkage of model input and output for the linked simulation models. A GIS-based data browser was also developed that works with both network flow models and makes calls to a model post-processor that shows model output for each selected node in each model network. This data and output browser system is flexible and can readily accommodate future changes in the model network configuration and in the model database.

The model was parameterized using GIS and an array of digital data on weather, oceans, freshwater, vegetation and geo-political boundaries. This version of the BETR model framework includes modification of atmospheric degradation rates by seasonally variable hydroxyl radical concentrations and temperature. Degradation rates in all other compartments vary with seasonally changing temperature. Deposition to the deep ocean has been included as a loss mechanism. A case study was undertaken for α-HCH. Dynamic emission scenarios were estimated for each of the 25 regions. Predicted environmental concentrations showed good agreement with measured values for the northern regions in air, and fresh and oceanic water and with the results from a previous model of global chemical fate. Potential for long-range transport and deposition to the Arctic region was assessed using a Transfer Efficiency combined with estimated emissions. European regions and the Orient including China have a high potential to contribute α-HCH contamination in the Arctic due to high rates of emission in these regions despite low Transfer Efficiencies. Sensitivity analyses reveal that the performance and reliability of the model is strongly influenced by parameters controlling degradation rates.

T1 - Modelling the fate of persistent organic pollutants in Europe: parameterisation of a gridded distribution model JO - Environmental Pollution JF - Environmental Pollution Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 128 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 251 SN - 02697491 AB - A regionally segmented multimedia fate model for the European continent is described together with an illustrative steady-state case study examining the fate of γ-HCH (lindane) based on 1998 emission data. The study builds on the regionally segmented BETR North America model structure and describes the regional segmentation and parameterisation for Europe. The European continent is described by a 5°×5° grid, leading to 50 regions together with four perimetric boxes representing regions buffering the European environment. Each zone comprises seven compartments including; upper and lower atmosphere, soil, vegetation, fresh water and sediment and coastal water. Inter-regions flows of air and water are described, exploiting information originating from GIS databases and other georeferenced data. The model is primarily designed to describe the fate of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) within the European environment by examining chemical partitioning and degradation in each region, and inter-region transport either under steady-state conditions or fully dynamically. A test case scenario is presented which examines the fate of estimated spatially resolved atmospheric emissions of lindane throughout Europe within the lower atmosphere and surface soil compartments. In accordance with the predominant wind direction in Europe, the model predicts high concentrations close to the major sources as well as towards Central and Northeast regions. Elevated soil concentrations in Scandinavian soils provide further evidence of the potential of increased scavenging by forests and subsequent accumulation by organic-rich terrestrial surfaces. Initial model predictions have revealed a factor of 5–10 underestimation of lindane concentrations in the atmosphere. This is explained by an underestimation of source strength and/or an underestimation of European background levels. The model presented can further be used to predict deposition fluxes and chemical inventories, and it can also be adapted to provide characteristic travel distances and overall environmental persistence, which can be compared with other long-range transport prediction methods.

A five-step procedure is discussed to determine the cause of water toxicity problems and to determine appropriate environmental management practices. With this approach, an upstream electrical transfer station was identified as the probable source of herbicides causing the toxicity. In addition, an analytical solution for solute transport in overland flow was used to estimate the application level of 40 kg/ha. Finally, this source investigation demonstrates that pesticides can affect stream water quality, regardless of application within levels suggested on manufacturer labels. Environmental managers need to ensure that pesticides that could harm aquatic organisms (including algae) not be used near streams or storm drainage areas, and that application timing should be considered for environmental protection.

However, the nature of plume pH neutralization has not previously been understood. As a master geochemical variable, pH needs to be understood in order to predict the fate and transport of contaminants carried by the waste plumes. Through this laboratory study, we found that the plume pH values spanned a broad range from 14 (within the near-source region) down to the value of 7 (lower than the pH value of the initial soil solution) while the plume was still connected to an actively leaking source. We defined two zones within a plume: the silicate dissolution zone (SDZ, pH 14-10) and the neutralized zone (NZ, pH 10-7). Quartz dissolution at elevated temperature and precipitation of secondary silicates (including sodium metasilicate, cancrinite, and zeolites) are the key reactions responsible for the pH neutralization within the SDZ. The rapid and thorough cation exchange of Na+ replacing Ca2+/Mg2+- combined with transport, resulted in a dynamic Ca2+/Mg2+- enriched plume front Subsequent precipitation of calcite, sodium silicate, and possibly talc led to dramatically reduced pH within the plume front and the neutralized zone. During aging (after the plume source became inactive), continued quartz dissolution and the secondary silicate precipitation drove the pH value lower, toward pH 11 at equilibrium within the SDZ, whereas the pH values in the NZ remained relatively unchanged with time. A pH profile of 11 from the plume source to pH 7 at the plume front is expected for a historical plume. This laboratory- based study provided realistic plume pH profiles (consistent with that measured from borehole samples) and identified underlying mechanisms responsible for pH evolution.

Transmission electron microscopy study of a sintered ceramic with stoichiometry of Ca(U0.5Ce0.25Hf0.25)Ti2O7 shows the material contains both pyrochlore and zirconolite phases and structural intergrowth of zirconolite lamellae within pyrochlore. The (001) plane of zirconolite is parallel to the (111) plane of pyrochlore because of their structural similarities. The pyrochlore is relatively rich in U, Ce, and Ca with respect to the coexisting zirconolite. Average compositions for the coexisting pyrochlore and zirconolite at 1350 °C are Ca0.01 (Ce3+0.13Ce4+0.19U0.52Hf0.18)(Ti1.95Hf0.05)O7 (with U/(U + Hf) = 0.72) and (Ca0.91Ce0.09)(Ce3+0.08U0.26Hf0.66Ti0.01)- Ti2.00O7 (with U/(U + Hf) = 0.28), respectively. A single pyrochlore (Ca(U,Hf)Ti2O7) phase may be synthesized at 1350 °C if the ratio of U/(U + Hf) is greater than 0.72, and a single zirconolite (Ca(Hf,U)Ti2O7) phase may be synthesized at 1350 °C if the ratio of U/(U + Hf) is less than 0.28. The synthesized products were used for dissolution tests. The single-pass flow-through dissolution tests show that the dissolution of the U-bearing pyrochlore is incongruent All the elements are released at differing rates. The dissolution data also show a decrease in rate with run time. The results indicate that a diffusion-controlled process may play a key role during the release of U. TEM observation of the leached pyrochlore directly proves that an amorphous leached layer that is rich in Ti and Hf formed on the surface after the ceramic was leached in pH 4 buffered solution for 835 days.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 798 EP - 811 SN - 07307268 AB - Many contaminant releases to the terrestrial environment are of small areal extent. Thus, rather than evaluating the ecological impact on species in the immediate vicinity of the release, it may be more ecologically meaningful to determine if population impacts occur at the landscape level. In order to do this, the cumulative impact of all releases in the landscape under consideration must be evaluated. If the release sites are viewed as localized areas that are no longer available for use by ecological receptors (i.e., no longer part of the habitat), this can be thought of as a form of habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation is typically viewed as the loss of large areas of habitat within a landscape, leaving small isolated patches of intact habitat within a hostile matrix. Small-scale contaminant releases, on the other hand, result in small uninhabitable areas within a primarily intact habitat. With this consideration in mind, we analyzed the wildlife and conservation biology literature to determine if information on habitat size requirements such as home-range or critical patch size could inform us about the potential for impact at the landscape level from release sites based on the size of the release alone. We determined that evaluating the impact of release size had to be conducted within a contextual basis (considering the existing state of the landscape). Therefore, we also reviewed the population modeling literature to determine if models could be developed to further evaluate the impact of the spatial extent of chemical releases on the landscape. We identified individual-based models linked to geographic information systems to have the greatest potential in investigating the role of release size with respect to population impacts at the landscape level.

Recently our research team has explored the relative importance of various levels of chemodescriptors, i.e. topostructural (TS), topochemical (TC), geometrical (3D), and quantum theoretical descriptors, in property estimation. This study examines the contribution of chemodescriptors ranging from topostructural to quantum theoretic calculations, up to the Gaussian STO-3G level, in predicting the results of six indicators of oxidative stress for a set of 20 halocarbons. Using quantum theoretical calculations in this study is of particular interest as molecular energetics is related to the likelihood of electron attachment and free radical formation, the mechanism of toxicity for these chemicals and should aid in modeling their potential for oxidative stress.

The simulations with prescribed SSTs and sea ice are available from the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP), and coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations are available from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). We compare CMIP runs from two coupled models sharing a common atmosphere component (but different ocean components) with the atmosphere component''s AMIP run. All three simulations have similar errors that presumably originate in the atmosphere component. Replacing the observed SSTs and sea ice amounts in the AMIP simulation with the interactive submodels used in the CMIP simulations tends to degrade the level of agreement with climate observations. Increases in root-mean-square (RMS) errors, however, are mostly less than 30% and often less than 10% of the magnitude of natural climate variations. Exceptions to this rule occur mainly in the tropics, most notably for geopotential height at 500 hPa and for temperature near the tropopause. These variables show increases in RMS errors that are comparable to observational standard deviations. The coupled model simulations are taken from the end of 300 year control runs without flux “corrections” at the ocean-atmosphere interface. Their similarity to results from the prescribed SST atmosphere model implies that modern coupled models can maintain stable multicentury simulations without flux adjustments.

Unlike other load-balancing strategies that reassign load from the heavily loaded processors to the lightly loaded or idle ones, the proposed strategy changes the virtual communication tree among the processors as the computational tree changes. The strategy incurs minimal overhead and is scalable.

Numerical calculus using these representations produces fast O (N )methods for multiscale solution of integral equations when combined with low separation rank methods. Using this formulation, we compute the Hilbert transform and solve the Poisson and Schrödinger equations. For a fixed order of multiwavelets and for arbitrary but finite-precision computations, the computational complexity is O (N ). The computational structures are similar to fast multipole methods but are more generic in yielding fast O (N )algorithm development.

This system utilizes low-frequency electromagnetic radiation and high-temperature superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) as receivers. The system is primarily used to communicate in underground areas using through-the-earth electromagnetic waves. The underground areas are typically mines, but the application is not restricted to that purpose. The communication channel is being used to send voice that has been digitally compressed. Typical rock masses do not allow conventional radio frequency electromagnetic waves to penetrate significant distances. Here, the authors use carrier frequencies of a few kilohertz that penetrate hundreds of meters into rock masses. They are using low-noise broadband superconducting receivers and have established that the signals propagate several hundred meters with modest power levels. Audio has been successfully received at distances in excess of 100 m through solid rock.

We show that diode length and lifetime together, and not just the lifetime (which is well known), determine the bandwidth of the diode.

To explore the full potential of Bayesian reconstruction for lesion detection, we derive simplified theoretical expressions that allow fast evaluation of the delectability of a lesion in Bayesian reconstruction. This work is builded on the recent progress on the theoretical analysis of image properties of statistical reconstructions and the development of numerical observers. We explicitly model the nonstationary variation of the lesion and background without assuming that they are locally stationary. The results can be used to choose the optimum prior parameters for the maximum lesion detectability. The theoretical results are validated using Monte Carlo simulations. The comparisons show good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the Monte Carlo results. We also demonstrate that the lesion detectability can be reliably estimated using one noisy data set.

Rotor position information is extracted by Indirectly sensing. the back EMF from only one of the three motor-terminal voltages for a three-phase motor. Depending on the terminal voltage sensing locations, either a low-pass filter or a band-pass filter is used for, position information retrieval. This leads to a significant reduction in the component count of the sensing circuit. The cost saving is further increased by coupling the sensing circuit with a single-chip microprocessor or digital signal processor for speed control. In addition, a look-up-tabIe-based correction for the nonideal phase delay introduced by the filter is suggested to ensure accurate position detection even at low speed. This extends the operating speed range and improves motor efficiency. Experimental results are included to verify the proposed scheme.

This passive soft-switching snubber (PSSS) employs a diode/capacitor snubber circuit for each switching device in an inverter to provide low dv/dt and low switching losses to the device. The PSSS further was a transformer-based energy regenerative circuit to recover the energy captured in the snubber capacitors. All components in the PSSS circuit are passive, thus leading to reliable and low-cost advantages over those soft-switching schemes relying on additional active switches. The snubber has been incorporated into a 150 kVA PWM inverter. Simulation and experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity and features of the snubber circuit.

JO - International Journal of Environmental Technology & Management JF - International Journal of Environmental Technology & Management Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 4 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 68 EP - 81 SN - 14662132 AB - The combustion of fossil fuels generates large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas most likely to influence global warming and climate change. Large stationary sources that include coal-based electric generating stations are plausible targets for the removal of CO2. Chemical absorption of CO2 is viewed as one option that could be applicable for its separation from both fuel gas and flue gas streams. Processes based on solid regenerable sorbents that efficiently absorb CO2 and release it in concentrated form have the potential to be cost-effective relative to solvent-based practices. This communication summarises a preliminary investigation exploring the reaction of CO2 with a number of calcium-based sorbents using a thermogravimetric (TG) analyser. Upon reaction at high temperature with pure CO2, these materials are converted into metal carbonates. Thermal regeneration of the sorbents was accomplished upon heating spent materials to higher temperature in a nitrogen stream. TG studies show the absorption reaction for Ca-based materials was initially rapid and then entered into a slower kinetic regime. Multi-cycle testing conducted within the TG analyser indicated sorbents could be regenerated and reused. Theoretical conversions ranging from 50-75% were observed for the calcium/zirconia sorbents in comparison to 15-20% for the calcium/lanthanum-doped alumina sorbent. Improved conversion was attributed to the pore size differential between mesoporous zirconia and microporous lanthanum-alumina. TG studies performed at 500°C with lithium zirconate show that the rate of CO2 absorption was continuous with time on stream. Under nitrogen, rapid regeneration of the lithium carbonate product occurred at temperatures greater than 700°C.

The resulting amine-enriched silicon sorbent (SBA-15) has been proven to be competitive with existing environmental CO2 controlled life sorbents based on the immobilised amine technology. XPS analysis has indicated that the amine groups (N1s Peak) were incorporated onto the surfaces of this amine-based sorbent in the range of 7%. The performance of the SBA-15 was comparable to the commercially available immobilised amine sorbent (IAS).

The experimental results were compared with a few shear-lag-based multi fiber composite models: Hedgepeth, which assumes perfect bonding between the linear elastic fiber and shear-only matrix: MSSL, which additionally accounts for the axial stiffness of the matrix: and VBI, which assumes a viscoelastic shear-only matrix Instead of assuming time-independent stress concentrations around a fiber break as in previous models, this work investigated the change in the stress concentrations due to the local matrix creep. The VBI model uses parameters measured from unreinforced matrix creep tests to predict the time dependent strain-stress evolution in the composite around fiber breaks. The stress concentrations of the nearby intact fibers were found to change due to the combined effects of temperature sensitive matrix creep and creep-driven inelastic zone growth emanating from the fiber break, which were in good agreement with the VBI predictions in the absence of significant inelastic zones.

The noticeably high activity of pocket gophers on closed waste burial sites of various types at Area G resulted in the need to understand possible interactions between gophers and radioactive waste. Fossorial animals can influence the fate of contaminants by directly burrowing into waste trenches, pushing contaminated soil to the surface, or through indirect mechanisms such as consumption of contaminant-laden vegetation or the ingestion of soil. In our study, pocket gophers, mound soil, surface soil, and vegetation were collected at Area G and at offsite reference locations. The samples were analyzed for 241Am, 238Pu, 239Pu, 3H, and total U. It did not appear that gophers were responsible for any upward transport of radionuclides. Concentrations of 241Am, 238Pu, 239Pu, and 3H in some gophers, soil, and vegetation were higher than at reference sites; however, only 3H in gopher carcasses at only one of five sites within Area G was higher than a conservative ecological screening level.

Speakers focused on topics that included accelerator mass spectrometry for ultra-low level radiolabel tracing, nanodevices for real-time optical intracellular sensing, mass spectrometric techniques for examining protein expression, as well as potential applications for nanotechnology in the food sciences. These technologies may be particularly useful in obtaining accurate spatial information and low-level detection of essential and nonessential bioactive food components (nutrients) and their metabolites, and in enhancing the understanding of the impact of nutrient/metabolite and biomolecular interactions.

The resonance patterns of both the ear canal and the concha are computed and compared with experimental data. Specialized numerical algorithms are developed that allow for the efficient computation of the eardrum pressures. In contrast to previous results in the literature that consider only the "blocked meatus" configuration, in this work the simulations are conducted on a boundary element mesh that includes both the external head/ear geometry, as well as the ear canal and eardrum. The simulation technology developed in this work is intended to demonstrate the utility of numerical analysis in studying physical phenomena related to the external auditory system. Later work could extend this towards simulating in situ hearing aids, and possibly using the simulations as a tool for optimizing hearing aid technologies for particular individuals.

A spool-to-spool rocking motion diamond wire saw machine using a 0.22 mm nominal diameter diamond wire with 20 µm average size diamond grit was used. The effect of wire downfeed speed on wafer surface roughness and subsurface damage was first investigated. The surface marks generated by loose diamond grit and stagnation of the wire during the change of the wire-cutting direction were studied. The use of scanning acoustic microscopy (SAcM) as a nondestructive evaluation method to identify the subsurface damage was explored. Effects of using a new diamond wire on cutting forces and surface roughness were also investigated. Scanning electron microscopy has been used to examine the machined surfaces and wire wear. This study demonstrated the feasibility of fixed abrasive diamond wire cutting of SiC wafers and the usage of a SAcM to examine the subsurface damage.

These programs share a common goal of demonstrating modalities for developed country parties to fulfill their obligation under the UNFCCC to support technology transfer to developing country parties that facilitates their participation in global efforts to combat climate changes. Several related U.S. bilateral programs and programs supported by the Climate Technology Initiative, a multilateral effort on behalf of a number of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, are included in this review. The discussion highlights a number of common elements of the approaches of many of these programs as well as some differences. It presents case studies that focus on methods and results in China, Mexico, and Southern Africa, and catalogues and describes the implementation activities and results that these programs have achieved. It concludes by assessing the implications of this experience for the international community as it moves forward with the climate change technology transfer enterprise.

JO - Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Global Change JF - Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Global Change Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 9 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 95 SN - 13812386 AB - Carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems and geologic formations provides a significant opportunity for California to address global climate change. The physical size of its resources (e.g., forests, agriculture, soils, rangeland, and geologic formations) and the expertise in California provides a substantial foundation for developing carbon sequestration activities. Furthermore, the co-benefits of carbon sequestration – such as improved soil and water quality, restoration of degraded ecosystems, increased plant and crop productivity, and enhanced oil recovery – are significant. In fact, carbon sequestration often represents a `no regrets'' strategy – implementing carbon sequestration provides multiple benefits, even without the advent of global climate change. Nevertheless, researchers need to address several issues to determine more accurately the potential, benefits, and costs of sequestering carbon in California''s terrestrial ecosystems and geologic formations, as well as to identify the most promising sequestration methods and their optimal implementation. One key issue is the type of regulatory constraints facing developers of carbon sequestration projects: what permits are needed for developing these projects? The permitting process may impede the penetration of sequestration technologies into the market if the costs (including transaction costs) of obtaining the permits are too burdensome and costly. For example, at least nine federal regulations and seven state regulations will potentially influence carbon sequestration projects in California. This paper also provides an example of the types of permits needed for developing a carbon sequestration project, using California as an example. It is possible that a carbon sequestration project may have to obtain a total of 15 permits (3 federal, 6 state, 6 local), before it even starts to operate. In the concluding section, we offer some suggested areas for research and activities for policy makers.

Sci. Policy 4 (2001) 377] found that fleet average emissions increased or "deteriorated" substantially between biennial I/M test cycles, and that a large fraction of the vehicles that initially failed and later passed in the first I/M cycle failed again two years later. In this paper we study vehicles that reported for a second I/M cycle well before their required biennial cycle, often because the subject vehicle was about to be sold to a new owner, in the decentralized California ASM program and the centralized Phoenix IM240 program. Because the off-cycle tests occurred at different times after the initial cycle, they allow the analysis of repeat failure rates over the shorter term (less than two years). We found that in California 20% of fail-pass vehicles, and 5% of initial-pass vehicles, failed the initial test of their next I/M cycle occurring within three months of completing the previous cycle; the failure rates were even higher in the centralized Phoenix program. This suggests that highly variable emissions, and not test fraud, were the cause of the large number of vehicles failing so soon after completing a previous I/M cycle. According to a model, as much as 74% of the vehicles that failed their initial test in Phoenix passed a retest because of emissions variability, and not because any repairs were performed. Vehicles with highly variable emissions may not only fail and pass a subsequent retest without repair, but also are likely to fail again if tested shortly thereafter. A large number of these vehicles may explain the apparent rapid increase or "deterioration" in fleet emissions observed in multiple years of I/M test result data.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/03/04/ VL - 428 IS - 6978 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 43 SN - 00280836 AB - Microbial communities are vital in the functioning of all ecosystems; however, most microorganisms are uncultivated, and their roles in natural systems are unclear. Here, using random shotgun sequencing of DNA from a natural acidophilic biofilm, we report reconstruction of near-complete genomes of Leptospirillum group II and Ferroplasma type II, and partial recovery of three other genomes. This was possible because the biofilm was dominated by a small number of species populations and the frequency of genomic rearrangements and gene insertions or deletions was relatively low. Because each sequence read came from a different individual, we could determine that single-nucleotide polymorphisms are the predominant form of heterogeneity at the strain level. The Leptospirillum group II genome had remarkably few nucleotide polymorphisms, despite the existence of low-abundance variants. The Ferroplasma type II genome seems to be a composite from three ancestral strains that have undergone homologous recombination to form a large population of mosaic genomes. Analysis of the gene complement for each organism revealed the pathways for carbon and nitrogen fixation and energy generation, and provided insights into survival strategies in an extreme environment.

Unreasonably low cleanup criteria for radionuclide concentrations in these media thus can lead to unnecessary excavation, transport, and disposal elsewhere, all of which magnify costs and cause loss of habitat for fish and wildlife, as well as reduced biodiversity. Similar contrasts exist for the Hanford Site in Washington, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, the Nevada Test Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, and other large DOE properties.

In silicate glasses, the network formers are based on SiO[sub4] tetrahedra interconnected through oxygen atoms at the corners. Conventional wisdom implies that alkaline and alkalineearth orthosilicate materials cannot be vitrified, because they do not contain sufficient network-forming SiO[sub2] to establish the needed interconnectivity. We studied a bulk magnesium orthosilicate glass obtained by containerless melting and cooling. We found that the role of network former was largely taken on by corner and edge sharing of highly distorted, ionic Mg-O species that adopt 4-, 5-, and 6-coordination with oxygen. The results suggest that similar glassy phases may be found in the containerless environment of interstellar space.

The mechanisms of synthesis are poorly understood but are of great interest for engineering novel materials. We use spectromicroscopy to show that microbially generated submicrometer-diameter iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) filaments contain polysaccharides, providing an explanation for the formation of akaganeite pseudo-single crystals with aspect ratios of ∼1000:1. We infer that the cells extrude the polysaccharide strands to localize FeOOH precipitation in proximity to the cell membrane to harness the proton gradient for energy generation.

Ion exchange is among the preferred methods of removing trace quantities of perchlorates from contaminated water, and the selective ion-exchange process has been developed, based on a bifunctional resin. Because the process is so selective, the perchlorates is removed without the addition or subtraction of other constituents in the treated stream. The selective ion-exchange process becomes economically viable if the resin can further be regenerated, and a novel process involving the equilibrium formation of the ferric chloride anion in aqueous solution of ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid made it possible to regenerate the resin.

In particular, colossal magnetoresistance in these materials-the dramatic reduction of resistivity in a magnetic field-is closely related to the observed texture owing to nanometre- and micrometre-scale inhomogeneities. Despite accumulated data from various high-resolution probes, a theoretical understanding for the existence of such inhomogeneities has been lacking. Mechanisms invoked so far, usually based on electronic mechanisms and chemical disorder, have been inadequate to describe the multiscale, multiphase coexistence within a unified picture. Moreover, lattice distortions and long-range strains are known to be important in the manganites. Here we show that the texturing can be due to the intrinsic complexity of a system with strong coupling between the electronic and elastic degrees of freedom. This leads to local energetically favourable configurations and provides a natural mechanism for the self-organized inhomogeneities over both nanometre and micrometre scales. The framework provides a physical understanding of various experimental results and a basis for engineering nanoscale patterns of metallic and insulating phases.

On one side are those who advocate that even though the electrons in these materials are strongly interacting, they can still be thought of as coherent waves propagating through a lattice of ions, leading to well-defined electronic states in momentum space. Superconducting regions exhibit a well-defined energy gap delimited by sharp spectral peaks, whereas pseudogap regions exhibit a smeared energy gap with no such peaks. This dichotomy has led to a debate concerning the interpretation of certain features seen in the Fourier transform of these spectra from real space to momentum space. One group has found a Fourier peak that appears to be nondispersive in energy, suggesting the formation of charged stripes in the material.

Here we show, for eight heterosexual transmission pairs, that recipient viruses were monophyletic, encoding compact, glycan-restricted envelope glycoproteins. These viruses were also uniquely sensitive to neutralization by antibody from the transmitting partner. Thus, the exposure of neutralizing epitopes, which are lost in chronic infection because of immune escape, appears to be favored in the newly infected host. This reveals characteristics of the envelope glycoprotein that influence HIV-1 transmission and may have implications for vaccine design.

Taken separately, each approach faces methodological, spatial, and temporal limitations that potentially constrain the generality of results and predictions. Integration of the two approaches within a single study can overcome some of those limitations and provide ways to distinguish among consistent, dynamic, and context-dependent ecosystem responses to global warming. A simple conceptual model and two case studies that focus on climate change impacts on flowering phenology and carbon cycling in a subalpine meadow ecosystem illustrate the utility of this type of integration.

In this paper, we develop Carbon Management Response (CMR) curves that could be used as an alternative to in situ measurements. The CMR curves developed here are based on quantitative reviews of existing global analyses and field observations of changes in soil carbon. The curves show mean annual rates of soil carbon change, estimated time to maximum rates of change, and estimated time to a new soil carbon steady state following the initial change in management. We illustrate how CMR curves could be used in a carbon accounting framework while effectively addressing a number of potential policy issues commonly associated with carbon accounting. We find that CMR curves provide a transparent means to account for changes in soil carbon accumulation and loss rates over time, and also provide empirical relationships that might be used in the development or validation of ecological or Earth systems models.

Some of the river shoreline has been designated by the U.S. Department of Energy for environmental clean-up following past production of materials for nuclear weapons. We evaluated the effects of soil remediation on winter birds at six inactive nuclear reactor areas. Remediation activities consisted of daily excavation and removal of approximately 1035 t of contaminated soil from previously herbicided and denuded areas located between 30 and 400 m and mostly in line-of-sight of the river shoreline. Remediation activities had no apparent effect on numbers of riverine or terrestrial birds using adjacent undisturbed shoreline and riparian habitat.

Wastewaters containing uranium (U) and other actinides generated in nuclear reactors in processes related to generating energy and manufacturing nuclear weapons have been discharged to the ground during the past 50 years. As a result, U is one of the most common radionuclides in soils, sediments, and groundwater at the U.S. Department of Energy sites and is therefore of particular environmental concern. When selecting remediation processes, it is believed that in situ microbial reduction of U(VI) can be an attractive alternative strategy for remediation of U-contaminated subsurface environments. Traditional ex situ remediation processes are often limited by poor extraction efficiency and production of large volumes of toxic U waste.

The effective solution of such nonlinear PDEs depends to a large extent on efficient and robust sparse linear system solution. In this paper, we show how fast and reliable sparse linear solvers can be composed from several underlying linear solution methods. We present a combinatorial framework for developing optimal composite solvers using metrics such as the execution times and failure rates of base solution schemes. We demonstrate how such composites can be easily instantiated using advanced software environments. Our experiments indicate that overall simulation time can be reduced through highly reliable linear system solution using composite solvers.

Two wells located at different distances from the source of a mixed-waste plume in the fractured basalt aquifer were examined. In the well more distal from the plume source, an array of dialysis chambers filled with either deionized water or crushed basalt was equilibrated to compare the microorganisms collected in this fashion with those from core and groundwater samples collected in a traditional manner from the same well. The samples were characterized to determine the total amount of biomass, presence of specific populations or physiological groups, and potential community functions. Microorganisms and their activities were nearly undetectable in core and groundwater collected from the well farthest from the plume source and substantially enriched in both core and groundwater from the well closest to the plume source. In both wells, differences (statistically significant for some measures) were found between bacteria associated with the cores and those suspended in the groundwater. Significantly higher populations were found in the basalt- and water-filled dialysis chambers incubated in the open well compared with core and groundwater samples, respectively. For a given parameter, the variation among dialysis chambers incubated at different depths was much less than the high variation observed among core samples. Analyses on selected basalt- and water-filled dialysis chamber samples suggested that these two communities were compositionally similar but exhibited different potential functions. Documented knowledge of cell physiological changes associated with attachment and potential differences between attached and unattached communities in aquifers indicate that careful consideration should be given to the type of sample media (i.e., core, groundwater, substrata incubated in a well) used to represent a subsurface environment.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 207 EP - 231 SN - 10807039 AB - Ecotoxicity benchmarks for petroleum mixtures can be used in a screening-level ecological risk assessment. Data from studies evaluating the toxicity of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) to plants and soil invertebrates were reviewed for possible application to soil benchmark development. Toxicity data included LOAECs; estimated EC25s, EC20s, and LC50s; effective concentrations that caused greater than a 20% level of effect; and NOAECs. The variabilities in petroleum material, chemical analytical methodology, age of hydrocarbon-soil contact, nutrient amendment, and measured effects levels did not permit much meaningful aggregation of the data. Tenth, twenty-fifth, and fiftieth percentiles of toxicity and no-effects data are presented for unaggregated results within studies. Effects on invertebrates often occurred at concentrations of TPH lower than those associated with effects on plants. Lighter mixtures generally were associated with lower ranges of effects concentrations than heavier crude oil. Few aged and non-aged samples were available from the same study, and these did not show obvious trends regarding toxicity. Similarly, the addition of nutrients to promote bioremediation was not observed across studies to alter effective or nontoxic concentrations in a systematic way. Existing toxicity data are not sufficient to establish broadly applicable TPH ecotoxicity screening benchmarks with much confidence, even for specific mixtures.

These upper concentration limits can be considered ecological preliminary re- mediation goals (EcoPRGs). The motivation for developing EcoPRGs was to provide risk managers with a simple tool for evaluating remedial actions that would be protective of the environment. Hazard quotient calculations used to support ecological screening assessments were modified to derive soil EcoPRGs for terrestrial wildlife populations. The primary modification is a population area use factor that is the fraction of a terrestrial animal population potentially affected by the contaminated site. Wildlife assessment population boundaries are based on a receptor's dispersal distance; for mammals dispersal distance is strongly related to the linear dimension (square root) of home range. Assuming that wildlife are unlikely to disperse beyond some distance from their birth or natal site, dispersal distance can be thought of as the radius of the assessment population's boundaries. This general relationship is useful as a simple way to estimate assessment population areas for terrestrial animals and helps fill data gaps for wildlife without direct measurements of dispersal.

The detector consists of two 16-mm diameter avalanche photo-diodes viewing a 7-mm gap between them and mounted inside a stainless steel shell with 1.5-nun thick input windows. The gap is filled with a ³He + 0.5%Xe gas mixture pressurized at 35 bar. The detector rejects signals generated by radiation interacting directly with the photodiodes and works as a "wall-less" detector, sensitive to interactions occurring only in the gas. The detector shows axial and radial position sensitivity to thermal neutrons within the gap between photodiodes. The position sensitivity is observed in good agreement with computer simulations. Applications are discussed.

It is shown that the number of cells in a single clone of B cells should scale as M and that the B-cell repertoire scales as ln ( cM), where c is a constant. The time that a B cell needs to circulate once through the organism is shown to scale as M1/4 ln ( cM). It is suggested that the scaling of other cell populations in the immune system could be derived from these scaling relations for B cells.

To represent the ductile metals, an anisotropic ductile plasticity/damage formulation is considered within the framework of continuum mechanics. The formulation is motivated from fracture mechanisms and physical observations in Al--Si--Mg aluminum alloys with second phases. The ductile damage mechanisms are represented by the classical ductile process of nucleation of voids at inclusions, followed by their growth and coalescence. Functions associated with each mechanism are related to different microstructural parameters. The damage, represented by a second rank tensor, is coupled to the Bammann--Chiesa--Johnson (BCJ) rate-dependent plasticity using the effective stress concept. The constitutive equations are integrated using a trapezoidal implicit scheme and implemented into an explicit finite element code. This implementation is used to predict damage during the forward axisymmetric extrusion of an aluminum bar. This example illustrates the applicability of the model to predict the initiation and the evolution of anisotropic damage in metal forming processes.

Internal state variables are established to characterize grain coarsening and material degradation observed experimentally. A damage-coupled viscoplastic constitutive model is formulated to take into account the effects of temperature and loading rates on mechanical response. The influence of fatigue loading frequency or strain rate, hold time, and temperature on mechanical behavior and fatigue life for 63Sn-37Pb solder alloy is examined. The fatigue failure predictions are compared with those obtained experimentally and found to be satisfactory.

Recent experiments have shown that when specific biological reactions occur on one surface of a microcantilever beam, the resulting changes in surface stress deflect the cantilever beam. To exploit this phenomenon for high-throughput label-free biomolecular analysis, we have developed a chip containing a two-dimensional (2-D) array of silicon nitride cantilevers with a thin gold coating on one surface. Integration of microfluid cells on the chip allows for individual functionalization of each cantilever of the array, which is designed to respond specifically to a target analyte. An optical system to readout deflections of multiple cantilevers was also developed. The cantilevers exhibited thermomechanical sensitivity with a standard deviation of seven percent, and were found to fall into two categories—those whose deflections tracked each other in response to external stimuli, and those whose did not due to drift. The best performance of two "tracking" cantilevers showed a maximum difference of 4 nm in their deflections. Although "nontracking" cantilevers exhibited large differences in their drift behavior, an upper bound of their time-dependent drift was determined, which could allow for rapid bioassays. Using the differential deflection signal between tracking cantilevers, immobilization of 25mer thiolated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on gold surfaces produced repeatable deflections of 80 nm or so on 0.5-µm-thick and 200-µm-long cantilevers.

The model is used to simulate chemical reactions between two initially distinct sample zones, referred to as "bands," that cross each other due to differences in electromigration velocities. The reaction is described in terms of a single step, reversible mechanism involving two reactants and one product. A parametric study is first conducted of the behavior of the species profiles, and results are interpreted in terms of the Damköhler number and of the ratios of the electromigration velocities of the reactant and product. Computed results are then used to explore the possibility of extracting forward and backward reaction rates based on time resolved observation of integral moments of species concentrations. In particular, it is shown that in the case of fast reactions, robust estimates can be obtained for high forward rates, but that small reverse rates may not be accurately observed.

Although perceived by many in signal processing as simply an application of matched-filter theory, a T/R receiver offers an interesting solution to the communications problem for a reverberant channel. In this paper, the performance of various realizations of the T/R receiver for an acoustic communications experiment in air is described along with its associated processing. The experiment is developed to evaluate the performance of point-to-point T/R receivers designed to extract a transmitted information sequence propagating in a highly reverberant environment. It is demonstrated that T/R receivers are capable of extracting the transmitted coded sequence from noisy microphone sensor measurements with zero-symbol error. The processing required to validate these experimental results is discussed. These results are also compared with those produced by an equivalent linear equalizer or inverse filter, which provides the optimal solution when it incorporates all of the reverberations.

The large clustered gene families, corresponding high G + C content, CpG islands and density of repetitive DNA indicate a chromosome rich in biological and evolutionary significance. Here we describe 55.8 million base pairs of highly accurate finished sequence representing 99.9% of the euchromatin portion of the chromosome. Manual curation of gene loci reveals 1,461 protein-coding genes and 321 pseudogenes. Among these are genes directly implicated in mendelian disorders, including familial hypercholesterolaemia and insulin-resistant diabetes. Nearly one-quarter of these genes belong to tandemly arranged families, encompassing more than 25% of the chromosome. Comparative analyses show a fascinating picture of conservation and divergence, revealing large blocks of gene orthology with rodents, scattered regions with more recent gene family expansions and deletions, and segments of coding and non-coding conservation with the distant fish species Takifugu.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/04//4/1/2004 VL - 428 IS - 6982 M3 - Article SP - 542 EP - 545 SN - 00280836 AB - Diamond is an electrical insulator well known for its exceptional hardness. It also conducts heat even more effectively than copper, and can withstand very high electric fields. With these physical properties, diamond is attractive for electronic applications, particularly when charge carriers are introduced (by chemical doping) into the system. Boron has one less electron than carbon and, because of its small atomic radius, boron is relatively easily incorporated into diamond; as boron acts as a charge acceptor, the resulting diamond is effectively hole-doped. Here we report the discovery of superconductivity in boron-doped diamond synthesized at high pressure (nearly 100,000 atmospheres) and temperature (2,500-2,800?K). Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and field-dependent resistance measurements show that boron-doped diamond is a bulk, type-II superconductor below the superconducting transition temperature Tc ˜ 4?K; superconductivity survives in a magnetic field up to Hc2(0) = 3.5?T. The discovery of superconductivity in diamond-structured carbon suggests that Si and Ge, which also form in the diamond structure, may similarly exhibit superconductivity under the appropriate conditions.

Fulfillment of the requirements for limiting dose to the public, which includes containment of the radioactive waste emplaced in the proposed repository and subsequent slow release of radionuclides from the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) into the geosphere, will rely on a robust waste container design, among other EBS components. Part of the evaluation process involves sensitivity studies aimed at elucidating which model parameters contribute most to the waste package and overlying drip shield degradation characteristics. The model parameters identified for this study include (1) general corrosion rate parameters and (2) stress corrosion cracking (SCC) parameters. Temperature dependence and parameter uncertainty are evaluated for the general corrosion rate model parameters while for the SCC model parameters, uncertainty treatment of stress intensity factor, crack initiation threshold, and manufacturing flaw orientations are evaluated. Based on these evaluations new uncertainty distributions are generated and recommended for future analyses. Also, early waste package failures due to improper heat treatment were added to the waste package degradation model. The results of these investigations indicate that the waste package failure profiles are governed by the manufacturing flaw orientation model parameters.

Depending on the federal site, these savings can represent thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and many can be achieved with minimal cash outlays. In addition to energy/resource savings, a well-run O&M program will: • Increase the safety of all staff because properly maintained equipment is safer equipment. • Ensure the comfort, health, and safety of building occupants through properly functioning equipment, providing a healthy indoor environment. • Confirm the design life expectancy of equipment is achieved. • Facilitate compliance with federal legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.The focus of this guide is to provide the federal O&M/energy manager and practitioner with information and actions aimed at achieving these savings and benefits. The O&M BPG was developed under the direction of the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program.

T1 - Examining cost effectiveness of mobile source emission control measures JO - Transport Policy JF - Transport Policy Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 155 SN - 0967070X AB - The cost-effectiveness of emission control measures, usually calculated in dollars per ton of emissions reduced, is often used to determine which control measures should be implemented to meet overall emission reduction requirements. This seemingly simple cost effectiveness methodology requires making careful choices, such as whether to employ (1) user costs or societal costs, (2) manufacturer- or consumer-level costs, (3) emission reductions in non-attainment areas only or in both non-attainment and attainment areas, and (4) annual or pollution-season emission reductions. Researchers must also carefully consider how to determine baseline emissions, whether to use multiple-pollutant emission reductions, and whether to apply emission discounting. Because there are various ways to address these issues and because different studies employ different assumptions regarding costs and emission reductions, the results of cost effectiveness studies can be significantly different and can sometimes contradict one another. This paper summarizes and adjusts the cost effectiveness results from completed studies, allowing determination of the relative cost effectiveness of key mobile source emission control measures. The paper also summarizes the cost effectiveness of stationary control measures, permitting a comparison of mobile and stationary control measures. The results of this study indicate that, except for alternative-fuel vehicles (and considering a range of uncertainties), the emission control cost of many mobile source control measures is below $10,000 per ton of emissions reduced.

Literature mapping techniques can be based on authors, documents, journals, words, and/or indicators. Most mapping questions are related to research assessment or to the structure and dynamics of disciplines or networks. Several mapping techniques are demonstrated on a data set comprising 20 years of papers published in PNAS. Data from a variety of sources are merged to provide unique indicators of the domain bounded by PNAS. By using funding source information and citation counts, it is shown that, on an aggregate basis, papers funded jointly by the U.S. Public Health Service (which includes the National Institutes of Health) and non-U.S. government sources outperform papers funded by other sources, including by the U.S. Public Health Service alone. Grant data from the National Institute on Aging show that on average, papers from large grants are cited more than those from small grants, with performance increasing with grant amount. A map of the highest performing papers over the 20-year period was generated by using citation analysis. Changes and trends in the subjects of highest impact within the PNAS domain are described. Interactions between topics over the most recent 5-year period are also detailed.

Partition coefficients were experimentally determined in rat tissues and blood samples using an in vitro vial equilibration technique. These solubility ratios were in agreement with previous reports. The in vivo metabolism of chlorobenzene was evaluated using groups of three F344 male rats exposed to initial chlorobenzene concentrations ranging from 82 to 6750 ppm in a closed, recirculating gas uptake system. An optimal fit of the family of uptake curves was obtained by adjusting Michaelis-Menten metabolic constants, K m (affinity) and V max (capacity), using the PBPK model. At the highest chamber concentration, the uptake curve could not be modeled without the addition of a first-order (K fo ) metabolic pathway. Pretreatment with pyrazole, an inhibitor of oxidative microsomal metabolism, had no impact on the slope of the uptake curve. The completed PBPK model was evaluated against real-time exhaled breath data collected from rats receiving either an intraperitoneal (ip) injection or oral gavage dose of chlorobenzene in corn oil. Exhaled breath profiles were evaluated and absorption rates were determined. Development of the chlorobenzene PBPK model in rats is the first step toward future extrapolations to apply to humans.

In measurements at subtropical latitudes, minimum HCl values found in the upper troposphere (UT) were often near or below the detection limit of the measurements (0.005 parts per billion by volume), indicating that background HCl values are much lower than a global mean estimate. However, significant abundances of HCl were observed in many UT air parcels, as a result of stratosphere-to-troposphere transport events. We developed a method for diagnosing the amount of stratospheric ozone in these UT parcels using the compact linear correlation of HCl with ozone found throughout the lower stratosphere (LS). Expanded use of this method will lead to improved quantification of cross-tropopause transport events and validation of global chemical transport models.

Charge-donating K atoms adsorbed on a silver surface were reversibly attached to a C[sub60] molecule by moving it over K atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope tip. Spectroscopic measurements reveal that each attached K atom donates a constant amount of charge (∼0.6 electron charge) to the C[sub60] host, thereby enabling its molecular electronic structure to be precisely and reversibly tuned.

The combined stresses were generated using a hollow cylindrical specimen that was subjected to axial compression and torsion. For both glass- and carbon-fiber composites, through-thickness compression resulted in a significant enhancement in the interlaminar shear stress and strain at failure. Under moderate compression levels, the failure mode changed from elastic to plastic. An attempt was made to predict the observed increase in shear strength for carbon fiber-epoxy laminates using three-dimensional lamina failure criteria. Although all the failure theories correctly predicted the trend of increasing shear strength with compression, none were able to predict the full extent of the observed strength increase. These results indicate that improved models are needed for determining failure under a combined state of interlaminar stress. The experimental results demonstrate that there are significant gains to be made in improving interlaminar strengths of composite structures by applying through-thickness compression. This effect could be exploited for improved strength and possibly improved fatigue life of composite joints and other regions in structures where interlaminar stress states are critical.

Control and "in-patch" measurements documented a greater than fourfold enhancement of carbon biomass in the iron-amended waters. Carbon export through 100 m increased two- to sixfold as the patch subducted below a front. The molar ratio of iron added to carbon exported ranged between 10[sup4] and 10[sup5]. The biomass buildup and export were much higher than expected for iron-amended low-silicate waters.

The out-of-plane magnetization in the nanometerscale vortex core induces a three-dimensional handedness in the planar magnetic structure, leading to a precessional motion of the core parallel to a subnanosecond field pulse. The core velocity was an order of magnitude higher than expected from the static susceptibility. These results demonstrate that handedness, already well known to be important in biological systems, plays an important role in the dynamics of microscopic magnets.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2004/04/23/ VL - 67 IS - 8-10 M3 - Article SP - 635 EP - 650 SN - 15287394 AB - There is a need to develop approaches for assessing risk associated with acute exposures to a broad range of metals and chemical agents and to rapidly determine the potential implications to human health. Noninvasive biomonitoring approaches are being developed using reliable portable analytical systems to quantitate dosimetry utilizing readily obtainable body fluids, such as saliva. Saliva has been used to evaluate a broad range of biomarkers, drugs, and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and pesticides. To advance the application of noninvasive biomonitoring a microfluidic/electrochemical device has also been developed for the analysis of lead (Pb), using square-wave anodic stripping voltametry. The system demonstrates a linear response over a broad concentration range (1-2000 ppb) and is capable of quantitating saliva Pb in rats orally administered acute doses of Pb acetate. Appropriate pharmacokinetic analyses have been used to quantitate systemic dosimetry based on determination of saliva Pb concentrations. In addition, saliva has recently been used to quantitate dosimetry following exposure to the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos in a rodent model system by measuring the major metabolite, trichloropyridinol, and saliva cholinesterase inhibition following acute exposures. These results suggest that technology developed for noninvasive biomonitoring can provide a sensitive and portable analytical tool capable of assessing exposure and risk in real-time. By coupling these noninvasive technologies with pharmacokinetic modeling it is feasible to rapidly quantitate acute exposure to a broad range of chemical agents. In summary, it is envisioned that once fully developed, these monitoring and modeling approaches will be useful for evaluating acute exposure and health risk.

The mesophase comprises gold nanocrystals arranged within a silica matrix in a face-centered cubic lattice with cell dimensions that are adjustable through control of the nanocrystal diameter and/or the alkane chain lengths of the primary alkanethiol stabilizing ligands or the surrounding secondary surfactants. Under kinetically controlled silica polymerization conditions, evaporation drives self-assembly of NC micelles into ordered NC/silica thin-film mesophases during spin coating. The intermediate NC micelles are water soluble and of interest for biolabeling. Initial experiments on a metal-insulator-metal capacitor fabricated with an ordered three-dimensional gold nanocrystal/silica array as the "insulator" demonstrated collective Coulomb blockade behavior below 100 kelvin and established the current-voltage scaling relationship for a well-defined three-dimensional array of Coulomb islands.

Impressive nanofabrication capabilities have been demonstrated with scanning probe manipulation of atoms and molecules on clean surfaces. However, as fabrication tools, both scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopes suffer from a loading deficiency: although they can manipulate atoms already present, they cannot efficiently deliver atoms to the work area. Carbon nanotubes, with their hollow cores and large aspect ratios, have been suggested as possible conduits for nanoscale amounts of material. Already much effort has been devoted to the filling of nanotubes and the application of such techniques. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes have been used as probes in scanning probe microscopy. If the atomic placement and manipulation capability already demonstrated by scanning probe microscopy could be combined with a nanotube delivery system, a formidable nanoassembly tool would result. Here we report the achievement of controllable, reversible atomic scale mass transport along carbon nanotubes, using indium metal as the prototype transport species. This transport process has similarities to conventional electro-migration, a phenomenon of critical importance to the semiconductor industry.

The question is how best to apply biosecurity without impeding biomedical and bioscience research. Three U.S. Codes of Federal Regulations establish lists of agents and toxins that pose a threat to humans, animals, or plants. Furthermore, federal regulations prohibit "restricted persons" from conducting research on any of the listed agents and toxins. Recently, many researchers have decided to discontinue or not pursue research on regulated biological agents, rather than implement the new security regulations and bear the associated financial burden.

Starting with cobalt nanocrystals, we show that their reaction in solution with oxygen and either sulfur or selenium leads to the formation of hollow nanocrystals of the resulting oxide and chalcogenides. This process provides a general route to the synthesis of hollow nanostructures of a large number of compounds. A simple extension of the process yielded platinum-cobalt oxide yolk-shell nanostructures, which may serve as nanoscale reactors in catalytic applications.

The data obtained included the first comprehensive measurements of aerosols and cloud particles throughout the atmospheric column during the evolution of multiple deep convective storm systems. Coupling these new measurements with detailed cloud simulations that resolve the size distributions of aerosols and cloud particles, we found several lines of evidence indicating that most anvil crystals form on mid-tropospheric rather than boundary-layer aerosols. This result defies conventional wisdom and suggests that distant pollution sources may have a greater effect on anvil clouds than do local sources.

The warmer and windier conditions corresponding to a 2 × CO2 climate scenario produced fires that burned more intensely and spread faster in most locations. Despite enhancement of fire suppression efforts, the number of escaped fires (those exceeding initial containment limits) increased 51% in the south San Francisco Bay area, 125% in the Sierra Nevada, and did not change on the north coast. Changes in area burned by contained fires were 41%, 41% and –8%, respectively. When interpolated to most of northern California's wildlands, these results translate to an average annual increase of 114 escapes (a doubling of the current frequency) and an additional 5,000 hectares (a 50% increase) burned by contained fires. On average, the fire return intervals in grass and brush vegetation types were cut in half. The estimates reported represent a minimum expected change, or best-case forecast. In addition to the increased suppression costs and economic damages, changes in fire severity of this magnitude would have widespread impacts on vegetation distribution, forest condition, and carbon storage, and greatly increase the risk to property, natural resources and human life.

This paper shows that current radiological cleanup laws and regulations, models for converting dose or risk goals to cleanup concentrations, and existing site-specific criteria were not designed specifically for ROD cleanups but, absent changes, would apply by default The goals and approaches of these legal and methodological structures often conflict; using them in response to terrorism could undermine public confidence, cause delays, and produce unnecessary costs or unacceptable cleanups. ROD cleanups would involve immediate priorities not envisioned in the existing radiological cleanup framework, such as balancing radiation risks with the health, economic, and other societal impacts associated with access to the infrastructure necessary to sustain society (e.g., hospitals, bridges, utilities). To minimize the achievement of terrorism goals, the elements of an ROD cleanup response-including updating existing legal/regulatory structures to clarify federal authority, goals, and methods for developing ROD cleanup criteria-must be in place soon; given the complexity of the issues and the potential societal impact, this effort should be expedited.

The authors have integrated core concepts from art, perceptual science, and psychology to develop a new toolset, Interactive Palette Tools (IPT).The IPT address each of these questions with a prototype plug-in to the computer software "Adobe Illustrator." This collection of tools will help designers choose and use colors effectively. The IPT are coordinated through a palette browser that displays named palettes. A drop-down arrow lets the user hide or show each associated palette. Large swatch sets are displayed on multiple lines. The authors enhanced their version with the nudger feature, palette sorting by theme color, and corresponding reference imagery available in the image and composition tools. During the early implementation phase of the IPT, the authors conducted a Web-based survey of individuals who work with color. INSET: Previous Work..

The apparatus consisted of a 0.79-g NdFeB disk-shaped permanent-magnet rotor levitated by a ferrite magnet with a diamagnetic stabilizer made of either bismuth or graphite, all in a bell-jar vacuum chamber to eliminate air friction on the rotor. The equilibrium position of the rotor was statically and dynamically stable, according to theoretical calculations based on the magnetic-image method. In dynamic tests, the rotor of the diamagnetic bearing was spun up to 100 Hz by a tangential jet of nitrogen gas and then was allowed to spin down freely to measure the rotational losses. The rotational losses varied with the frequency of the rotation, indicating that most of the losses were mainly due to eddy currents. Minor losses due to magnetic inhomogeneities in the permanent magnets and diamagnetic parts were also observed over a small frequency range.

Distributed electromagnetic coupling effects include magnetic coupling of adjacent interconnects and/or planar spiral inductors, substrate coupling due to stray electric currents in a conductive substrate, and full-wave electromagnetic radiation. These coupling mechanisms are inclusively simulated by solving the full-wave Maxwell's equations using a three-dimensional (3-D) time-domain finite-element method. This simulation approach is quite general and can be used for circuit layouts that include isolation wells, guard rings, and 3-D metallic structures. A state-variable behavioral modeling procedure is used to construct simple linear models that mimic the distributed electromagnetic effects. These state-variable models can easily be incorporated into a VHDL-AMS simulation providing a means to include distributed electromagnetic effects into a circuit simulation.

We developed a decision-analytic approach to determine which risks the buyer can share or shift to vendors and which ones it should bear. We found that allocating risks incorrectly could increase costs dramatically. Between 1995 and 1998,we used this approach to develop the request for proposals (RFP) for the US Department of Energy's (DOE's)privatization initiative for the Hanford tank waste remediation system (TWRS). In the model, we used an assessment protocol to predict how vendors would react to proposed risk allocations in terms of their actions and their pricing. We considered the impact of allocating each major risk to potential vendors, to the DOE, or to both and identified the risk allocation that would minimize the DOE's total cost its direct payments to vendors plus the costs of any residual risks it accepted. Allocating inappropriate risks to the vendor would have increased costs because the vendor would add a large risk premium to its bids, while allocating inappropriate risks to the DOE also would have increased costs because the vendor would not take adequate risk-reduction measures. With the improved risk allocation, the RFPs resulted in bids that were acceptable to the DOE.

The quantum chromodynamics on a chip (QCDOC) architecture has two attractive and unusual features, a very high degree of communication parallelism and a very low latency. The result appears to be a design with highly scalable parallel performance. The QCDOC high per formance network allows a very high level of parallelism and very fast solutions, for a number of basic algorithms of wide interest. Because of the high level of parallelism, small problem sizes per processor are feasible, with the result that the entire problem fits in the on-chip, L2 cache, memory. Authors expect that the performance as a fraction of peak speed will be comparable to that of a vector machine. The machine is scalable by design, and is recognized to be very cost effective per teraflop of sustained performance. The machine should excel especially for problems for which large numbers of timesteps are the figure of merit.

This node is a prototype of the latest generation AlphaServer systems, which are designed to scale up to 128 processors per node. The 21364 processor, code-named EV7, is the latest in the Alpha processor line. The EV7 design emphasizes high memory performance in order to overcome some of the performance issues associated with the increasing gap between processor and memory speeds. The performance of a 16-processor node is examined here in terms of memory performance, intranode MPI communication performance, and also with a number of complete applications. The performance reported through this work is taken from a pre-production node running at a clock rate of 1.2 GHz. Due to the excellent main-memory bus bandwidth, a higher performance should be achievable on nodes using the EV7 processor in comparison to the existing EV68 at a similar clock-speed used in the existing AlphaServer ES45 nodes.

Results indicate that at a relatively low surfactant concentration (1 x 10-3-1 x 10-6M), cationic surfactants significantly affected the growth of silica particles as measured by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopic analyses. In contrast, the anionic and nonionic surfactants showed relatively minor effects in the low concentration range. The magnitude of negative zeta potential was reduced for silica colloids that were synthesized in the presence of cationic surfactant because of charge neutralization. The presence of anionic surfactants only slightly increased the negative zeta potential while the nonionic surfactant showed no obvious effects. At high surfactant concentrations (> 1 x 10-3 M), cationic and anionic surfactants both induced colloid aggregation, while the nonionic surfactant showed no effect on particle size. Raman spectroscopic analysis suggests that molecules of cationic surfactants adsorb on silica surfaces via head groups, aided by favorable electrostatic attraction, while molecules of anionic and nonionic surfactants adsorb via their hydrophobic tails.

Polyethylenimine (PEI) was functionalized with bromo- or chloroacetic acid to give an aminocarboxylate chelating group, which effectively binds lead. The resulting polymer, PEIC, has extraction properties similar to the molecular chelator ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. A series of studies was done to probe optimum conditions for lead extraction from soils obtained from the Cal-West Superfund site in New Mexico that contained approximately 10,000 ppm of Pb. In batch extraction experiments using polymer functionalized at two different levels, the polymers removed greater than 97% of the lead from the soils. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that the selective extraction of lead could be controlled by varying polymer functionalization levels. Concentration and regeneration of the polymers using ultrafiltration was also demonstrated. Release of lead from the polymer was accomplished by acidification to pH 1 with HCl. Subsequent ultrafiltration allowed recovery of the extractant polymer for reuse.

JO - Journal of Industrial Ecology JF - Journal of Industrial Ecology Y1 - 2004///Summer2004 VL - 8 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 102 SN - 10881980 AB - A defining feature of industrial ecology is the design of processes to minimize any disruption of the functioning of the natural ecosystem that supports life, including human beings. The extent of human exposure to anthropogenic contaminants in the environment is a complex function of the amount of chemical emitted, its physicochemical properties and reactivity, the nature of the environment, and the characteristics of the pathways for human exposure, such as inhalation, dermal contacts, and intake of food and water. For some chemicals, the location of emissions relative to areas of high population density or intense food production may also be an important factor. We explore the relative importance of these variables using the regionally segmented Berkeley-Trent (BETR) North America contaminant fate model and data for food production patterns and population density for North America. The model is applied to four contaminants emitted to air: benzene, carbon tetrachloride, benzo[a]pyrene, and 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin. The total continental intake fraction (iF), relating exposure quantity to emission quantity, is employed as a metric for assessing population exposure to these contaminants. Results show that the use of continentally averaged parameters for population density and food production provides an accurate estimate of the median of iF calculated for emissions in individual regions; however, iF can range from this median by up to 3 orders of magnitude, especially for chemicals transferred to humans through foods.

We previously showed that EGCG inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-mediated activation of the nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) pathway, partly through inhibition of IKB kinase (IKK). The NF-KB pathway may also be activated in response to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) stimulation through a distinct signal transduction pathway. We therefore hypothesized that EGCG inhibits IL-1β-mediated activation of the NF-KB pathway. Because the gene expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8), the major human neutrophil chemoattractant, is dependent on activation of NF-KB, IL-8 gene expression in human lung epithelial (A549) cells treated with human IL-1β was used as a model of IL-1β signal transduction. The EGCG markedly inhibited IL-1β-mediated IL-1β receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) degradation and the signaling events downstream from IRAK degradation: IKK activation, IKBα degradation, and NF-KB activation. In addition, EGCG inhibited phosphorylation of the p65 subunit of NF-KB. The functional consequence of this inhibition was evident by inhibition of IL-8 gene expression. Therefore, the green tea polyphenol EGCG is a potent inhibitor of IL-1β signal transduction in vitro. The proximal mechanisms of this effect involve inhibition of IRAK-dependent signaling and phosphorylation of p65.

This estimate increases to 90% during the summer months, and, overall, up to 5% of the drums stored in active treatment, storage, and disposal facilities may be pressurized. The ability to identify pressurized drums in real-time would enhance worker health and safety, reduce the potential for environmental contamination, and minimize property damage. A prototype hand-held drum pressure detection device was field tested at an active Resource Conservation and Recovery Act mixed waste operation using acoustic resonance spectroscopy technology to identify pressurized drums. The waste operation used a drum venting system that measured the actual drum pressure of retrieved drums. Drum venting system data were analyzed to quantify the ability of the drum pressure detection device to correctly identify drums with elevated internal pressure. After 456 drums were measured, the dichotomous pressure data (pressurized vs. nonpressurized) were analyzed. The relationship between the drum venting system and drum pressure detection device pressure data was found to be statistically significant. With alpha and beta values of 0.05, the negative predictive value was 0.94, the positive predictive value was 0.47, the sensitivity was 0.82, and the specificity was 0.77. Although capable of identifying nonpressurized drums, this instrument may not be appropriate for general use. Study results and critical improvements necessary to improve the instrument's predictive value, specificity, and sensitivity are presented.

Because the thermal diffusion ratio of neon is small, an apparatus longer than a wavelength was necessary in order to easily observe the separation. The device was modular and extensible, so that arbitrarily large separations could in principle be obtained. The acoustic duct was a series of multiple, identical quarter-wavelength modules with side-branch drivers. In this way, waveforms close to that of a traveling wave were maintained in the duct, despite the high acoustic attenuation caused by the duct's small diameter and large length. The concentrations of the isotopes were measured at one end of the duct using a quadrupole mass spectrometer. For the operating frequency of 227 Hz, the maximum separation gradient obtained was 0.43%/m, and mole fluxes at zero gradient as high as 3 nmol/s were observed. Effects of turbulence, though not observed, are also discussed, and the scaling properties of this method are compared with those of traditional mixture-separation methods.

This is not a comprehensive review of the literature; rather, certain issues that are often neglected in studies are highlighted showing their importance or impact on the reported observations and targeted outcomes. Feasible routes using flow instability as an efficiency enhancement tool are discussed as an emerging means to explain the physical phenomena of active flow-control and as a tool for control law design and development. Traditional and more recent theoretical approaches to control design are discussed and recommendations are made relevant to numerical complications on the route to design oscillatory flow-control systems. A generic flow control process is put forward and illustrated using experimental examples.

In the last few years, there has been a surge of research in the area of power harvesting. This increase in research has been brought on by the modern advances in wireless technology and low-power electronics such as microelectromechanical systems. The advances have allowed numerous doors to open for power harvesting systems in practical real-world applications. The use of piezoelectric materials to capitalize on the ambient vibrations surrounding a system is one method that has seen a dramatic rise in use for power harvesting. Piezoelectric materials have a crystalline structure that provides them with the ability to transform mechanical strain energy into electrical charge and, vice versa, to convert an applied electrical potential into mechanical strain. This property provides these materials with the ability to absorb mechanical energy from their surroundings, usually ambient vibration, and transform it into electrical energy that can be used to power other devices. While piezoelectric materials are the major method of harvesting energy, other methods do exist; for example, one of the conventional methods is the use of electromagnetic devices. In this paper we discuss the research that has been performed in the area of power harvesting and the future goals that must be achieved for power harvesting systems to find their way into everyday use.

X-ray diffraction studies show that the introduction of iodine at these concentrations (0.08 at%), produces no other phases and that the average crystalline structure remains the same as that of pure ZnSe. XAFS results show that the iodine enters into the ZnSe lattice substituting Se. An increase in the I–Zn distance was observed compared to the Se–Zn distance in undoped ZnSe, while the second-neighbor distance was the same as that found in undoped ZnSe. These results contrast with those found in other doped semiconductors such as CdTe:In, CdTe:Cu, and noteworthy ZnSe:Cl. In those cases, at this dopant levels the local structure around the dopant atoms shows a significant lattice distortion, signaled by two different bond lengths to the nearest-neighbor atoms, suggesting the formation of a dopant–cation vacancy complex defect.

Heterojunctions of this pair of dopable semiconductors are being studied for applications as thermophotovoltaic devices. We have grown films of these materials on glass substrates, and X-ray diffaction studies confirm the phase formation and polycrystalline nature of the films. Optical absorption studies revealed three distinct transitions in the Zn3P2 films, at 1.3, 1.55, and 1.85 eV (in agreement with literature values found in single crystals). Analysis of optical spectra of the films showed direct transitions at 0.62, 0.65, and 0.71 eV. We also report measurements of photoconductivity and photoluminescence in these films. Hall effect measurements show the Cd3P2 films to be n-type with mobilities as high as 429 cm2/V s. Carrier lifetimes were also measured directly by a photoconductive decay technique. The films show promise for TPV devices, although fabrication of such multilayer devices is in only a preliminary stage.

There may also be one or more expert opinions regarding the response of interest. Traditional statistical approaches consider each of these datasets separately with corresponding separate analyses and fitted statistical models. A compelling argument can be made that better, more precise statistical models can be obtained if the combined data are analyzed simultaneously using a hierarchical Bayesian integrated modeling approach. However, such an integrated approach must recognize important differences, such as possible biases, in these experiments and expert opinions. We illustrate our proposed integrated methodology by using it to model the thermodynamic operation point of a top-spray fluidized bed microencapsulation processing unit. Such units are used in the food industry to tune the effect of functional ingredients and additives. An important thermodynamic response variable of interest, Y, is the steady-state outlet air temperature. In addition to a set of physical experimental observations involving six factors used to predict Y, similar results from three different computer models are also available. The integrated data from the physical experiment and the three computer models are used to fit an appropriate response surface (regression) model for predicting Y.

The 7-TA repeat allele has been associated with elevated serum bilirubin levels that cause a mild hyperbilirubinemia (Gilbert’s syndrome). Studies suggest that promoter transcriptional activity of UGT1A1 is inversely related to the number of TA repeats, and that unconjugated bilirubin concentration increases directly with the number of TA repeat elements. Because bilirubin is a known antioxidant, we hypothesized that UGT1A1 repeats associated with higher bilirubin may be protective against oxidative damage. We examined the effect of UGT1A1 genotype on somatic mutant frequency in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) gene in human lymphocytes and the glycophorin A (GPA) gene of red blood cells (both N0, NN mutants), and the frequency of lymphocyte micronuclei (both kinetochore (K)-positive or micronuclei K-negative) in 101 healthy smoking and nonsmoking individuals. As hypothesized, genotypes containing 7- and 8-TA displayed marginally lower GPA_NN mutant frequency relative to 5/5, 5/6, 6/6 genotypes (P<0.05). In contrast, our analysis showed that lower expressing UGT1A1 alleles (7- and 8-TA) were associated with modestly increased HPRT mutation frequency (P<0.05), while the same low-expression genotypes were not significantly associated with micronuclei frequencies (K-positive or K-negative) when compared to high-expression genotypes (5- and 6-TA). We found weak evidence that UGT1A1 genotypes containing 7- and 8-TA were associated with increased GPA_NØ mutant frequency relative to 5/5, 5/6, 6/6 genotypes (P<0.05). These data suggest that UGT1A1 genotype may modulate somatic mutation of some types, in some cell lineages, by a mechanism not involving bilirubin antioxidant activity. More detailed studies examining UGT1A1 promoter variation, oxidant/antioxidant balance and genetic damage will be needed.

Here we explore the use of dynamic bipartite graphs to model the physical contact patterns that result from movements of individuals between specific locations. The graphs are generated by large-scale individual-based urban traffic simulations built on actual census, land-use and population-mobility data. We find that the contact network among people is a strongly connected small-world-like graph with a well-defined scale for the degree distribution. However, the locations graph is scale-free, which allows highly efficient outbreak detection by placing sensors in the hubs of the locations network. Within this large-scale simulation framework, we then analyse the relative merits of several proposed mitigation strategies for smallpox spread. Our results suggest that outbreaks can be contained by a strategy of targeted vaccination combined with early detection without resorting to mass vaccination of a population.

Two replicate experiments were conducted with 20 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a 50-m3 room finished with painted wallboard, carpet and cushion, draperies and furnishings. The VOCs span a wide volatility range and include ten hazardous air pollutants. VOCs were introduced to the static chamber as a pulse and their gas-phase concentrations were measured during a net adsorption period and a subsequent net desorption period. Three sorption models were fit to the measured concentrations for each compound to determine the simplest formulation needed to adequately describe the observed behavior. Sorption parameter values were determined by fitting the models to adsorption period data then checked by comparing measured and predicted behavior during desorption. The adequacy of each model was evaluated using a goodness of fit parameter calculated for each period.Results indicate that sorption usually does not greatly affect indoor concentrations of methyl-tert-butyl ether, 2-butanone, isoprene and benzene. In contrast, sorption appears to be a relevant indoor process for many of the VOCs studied, including C8–C10 aromatic hydrocarbons (HC), terpenes, and pyridine. These compounds sorbed at rates close to typical residential air change rates and exhibited substantial sorptive partitioning at equilibrium. Polycyclic aromatic HCs, aromatic alcohols, ethenylpyridine and nicotine initially adsorbed to surfaces at rates of 1.5–>6 h−1 and partitioned 95–>99% in the sorbed phase at equilibrium.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2792 EP - 2801 SN - 0013936X AB - Soils that have been acutely contaminated by heavy metals show distinct characteristics, such as colonization by metal-tolerant plant species and topsoil enrichment in weakly degraded plant debris, because biodegradation processes are strongly inhibited by contamination. Such an organic topsoil, located downwind of an active zinc smelter and extremely rich in Zn (∼2%, dry weight), was investigated by X-ray diffraction, synchrotron-based X-ray microfluorescence, and powder- and micro-extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy for Zn speciation and by isotopic dilution for Zn lability. EXAFS spectra recorded on size fractions and on selected spots of thin sections were analyzed by principal component analysis and linear combination fits. Although Zn primary minerals (franklinite, sphalerite, and willemite) are still present (∼15% of total Zn) in the bulk soil, Zn was found to be predominantly speciated as Zn-organic matter complexes (∼45%), outer-sphere complexes (∼20%), Zn-sorbed phosphate (∼10%), and Zn-sorbed iron oxyhydroxides (∼10%). The bioaccumulated Zn fraction is likely complexed to soil organic matter after the plants' death. The proportion of labile Zn ranges from 54 to 92%, depending on the soil fraction, in agreement with the high proportion of organically bound Zn. Oespite its marked lability, Zn seems to be retained in the topsoil thanks to the huge content of organic matter, which confersto this horizon a high sorption capacity. The speciation of Zn in this organic soil horizon is compared with that found in other types of soils.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2822 EP - 2828 SN - 0013936X AB - Contamination of vadose zone sediments under tank BX-102 at the Hanford site, Washington, resulted from the accidental release of 1-8 metric tons of uranium dissolved in caustic aqueous sludge in 1951. We have applied synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopic and diffraction techniques to characterize the speciation of uranium in samples of these contaminated sediments. U LIII-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopic studies demonstrate that uranium occurs predominantly as a uranium-(VI) silicate from the uranophane group of minerals. XAFS cannot distinguish between the members of this mineral group due to the near identical local coordination environments of uranium in these phases. However, these phases differ crystallographically, and can be distinguished using X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. As the concentration of uranium was too low for conventional XRD to detect these phases, X-ray microdiffraction (μXRD) was used to collect diffraction patterns on ∼20 μm diameter areas of localized high uranium concentration found using microscanning X-ray fluorescence (μSXRF). Only sodium boltwoodite, Na(UO2)(SiO3OH)-1.5H2O, was observed; no other uranophane group minerals were present Sodium boltwoodite formation has effectively sequestered uranium in these sediments under the current geochemical and hydrologic conditions. Attempts to remediate the uranium contamination will likely face significant difficulties because of the speciation and distribution of uranium in the sediments.

We have observed field-induced optical anisotropy as well as red shifts and splittings of absorption and photoluminescence peaks. The amounts of shifts and splittings depend on the value of Φ/Φ[sub0] and are quantitatively consistent with theories based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect These results represent evidence of the influence of the Aharonov-Bohm phase on the band gap of a solid.

An image of a lone attacker trying to hack into someone else's computer has been replaced by one of waves of attacks with media-friendly names. These media darlings hide a disturbing aspect of today's Internet. Practically all systems attached to the Internet are constantly being scanned for vulnerabilities, while the number of attacks keeps increasing. Most of these consist of vulnerability scans-- the network equivalent of car thieves walking through a parking lot searching for unlocked cars. But unlike the Hollywood image of a loner launching directed attacks, many of these attempts are automated, not targeting any particular system. It's not a new phenomenon either. As the Internet has evolved, so has the volume and sophistication of its malicious traffic. Most of these scans are reconnaissance for subsequent directed attacks. Others automatically attempt to exploit a system once they discover a potential vulnerability. Practically every computer linked to the Internet is constantly being scanned for security vulnerabilities and targeted for attack by viruses, worms, and worse.

Issues of greatest interest to CIT professionals are: reasons underlying the trend; possible changes, accompanying the shift, in how CIT will he organized and administered in the future; and whether the objectives of academic units that are thus reorganizing themselves are being realized. This article draws upon survey data to provide an early view of what the evolving profession is trying to accomplish, and the extent to which it is succeeding. The first set of questions concerned the scale CIT unit operations. Their operating budgets range from a few hundred thousand dollars to over $75 million; their external finding ranges from none to $58 million; they have between 8,500 and 250,000 square feet of space. Another sense of scale is provided by the number of majors the colleges offer, and the number of credit hours the programs produce. The number of majors ranges from five to 4,200; the number of credit hours generated ranges from 140 to 55,435. Studies indicate that CIT schools are more prevalent than colleges.

Additionally, many types of IPS potentially avoid the weaknesses of signature-based intrusion detection systems, the latter of which are initially oblivious to "zero day" attacks.

JO - Environmental Practice JF - Environmental Practice Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 6 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 135 EP - 143 SN - 14660474 AB - The bioaccumulation of methylmercury in fish is a complex process affected by many site-specific environmental factors. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recently recommended changing the basis for expressing the ambient water quality criterion for mercury from an aqueous concentration to a measure of the methylmercury concentration in fish. This change would make the regulation of mercury in surface waters a site-specific exercise in which fish-based bioaccumulation factors (BAF; the ratio of mercury concentration in fish to the concentration of mercury in water) are used to calculate aqueous concentration limits for total mercury. These limits would then be used to allocate mercury loading among various point and nonpoint sources and guide regulatory actions. In order for this approach to succeed, it is critical that the sitespecific BAFs and methylmercury:total mercury conversion factors be independent of aqueous total mercury concentration (HgT). We investigated this relationship by measuring aqueous methylmercury and HgTs and mercury in fish in ecologically similar warm-water streams in the southeastern United States. Bioaccumulation factors based on HgT in water were found to decrease with increasing HgT, primarily as a consequence of the reduction in the ratio of aqueous methylmercury to total mercury with increasing HgT. Methylmercury-based BAFs did not vary as a function of HgT. The implication of this relationship is that site-specific determination of aqueous HgT limits at contaminated sites may use BAFs that would be underestimates of the appropriate BAFs to describe mercury bioaccumulation in the system after mercury inputs have been reduced. In such cases, regulatory limits set using site-specific BAFs might not achieve their intended purpose of reducing mercury contamination in fish to acceptable concentrations.

The hypothesis that there are differences in these three areas as a function of ethnicity was examined. We predicted that if differences existed, they would exist for all three evaluations (general environmental problems, government spending, and environmental concerns about LANL). However, this was not the case; there were fewer ethnic differences concerning LANL. Hispanics rated most general environmental problems higher than Whites and rated their willingness to expend federal funds higher than Whites, although all groups gave a lower score on willingness than on concern. Further, the congruence between these two types of ratings was higher for Hispanics than for others. In general, the concerns expressed by subjects about LANL showed few ethnic differences, and everyone was most concerned about contamination. These data indicate that Hispanics attending a gun show are equally or more concerned than others about environmental problems generally but are not more concerned about LANL. The data can be useful for developing future research and stewardship plans and for understanding general environmental problems and their relationship to concerns about LANL. More generally, they indicate that the attitudes and perceptions of Hispanics deserve increased study in a general population.

In closed systems, sulfate- reducing bacteria (SRB) such as Desulfovibrio spp. demonstrably affect U immobilization by enzymatic reduction of U(VI) species (primarily the uranyl ion, UO22+ and its complexes) to U(IV). However, our understanding of such interactions under chronic U(VI) exposure in dynamic systems is limited. As a first step to understanding such interactions, we performed bioreactor experiments under continuous flow to study the effect of a biofilm of the sulfate- reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans attached to specular hematite (α-Fe2O2) surfaces on surface-associated U(VI) complexation,transformation, and mobility. Employing real-time microscopic observation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we show that the characteristics of the U(VI) complex(es) formed at the hematite surface are influenced by the composition of the bulk aqueous phase flowing across the surface and by the presence of surface- associated SRB. The XPS data further suggest higher levels of U associated with hematite surfaces colonized by SRB than with bacteria-free surfaces. Microscopic observations indicate that at least a portion of the U(VI) that accumulates in the presence of the SRB is exterior to the cells, possibly associated with the extracellular biofilm matrix.

Measurements of U(VI) diffusion from initially pH 2 and pH 11 solutions into a slightly alkaline Altamont soil and a neutral Oak Ridge soil were obtained through monitoring uptake from boundary reservoirs and from U concentration profiles within soil columns. The soils provided pH buffering, resulting in diffusion at nearly constant pH. Micro X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra confirmed that U remained in U(VI) forms in all soils. Time trends of U(VI) depletion from reservoirs and U(VI) concentration profiles within soil columns yielded Kd values consistent with those determined in batch tests at similar concentrations (≈1 mM) and much lower than values for sorption at much lower concentrations (nM to µM). These results show that U(VI) transport at high concentrations can be relatively fast at non-neutral pH, with negligible surface diffusion, because of weak sorption.

Both metabolic and cometabolic VC degradation were studied using Mycobacterium aurum L1 (grown on VC), Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b (grown on methane), Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 (grown on propane), and two VC enrichment cultures seeded from contaminated soils of Alameda Point and Travis Air Force Base, CA. M. aurum L1 caused the greatest fractionation (ϵ = -5.7) while for the cometabolic cultures, ϵ values ranged from -3.2 to -4.8. VC fractionation patterns for the enrichment cultures were within the range of those observed for the metabolic and cometabolic cultures ( ϵ= -4.5 to -5.5). The fractionation for cometabolic degradation of TCE by Me. trichosporium OB3b was low (ϵ = -1.1), while no quantifiable carbon isotopic fractionation was observed during the cometabolic degradation of cDCE. For all three of the tested chlorinated ethenes, isotopic fractionation measured during aerobic degradation was significantly smaller than that reported for anaerobic reductive dechlorination. This study suggests that analysis of compound-specific isotopic fractionation could assist in determining whether aerobic or anaerobic degradation of VC and cDCE predominates in field applications of in-situ bioremediation. In contrast, isotopic fractionation effects associated with metabolic and cometabolic reactions are not sufficiently dissimilar to distinguish these processes in the field.

Specific values of (4.30 ± 0.12) × 108, (1.41 ± 0.02) × 1010, and (2.01 ± 0.03) × 108 M-1 s-1 were measured, respectively. DMPO spin-trapping experiments demonstrated that the hydroxyl radical reaction with NDMA occurs by hydrogen atom abstraction from a methyl group, and the rate constant for the subsequent reaction of this radical transient with dissolved oxygen was measured as (5.3 ± 0.6) × 106 M-1 s-1. This relatively slow rate constant implies that regeneration of the parent nitrosoamine from the oxidized transient could occur in natural waters containing dissolved organic compounds. The reaction of the hydrated electron with NDMA was to form a transient adduct anion, which could subsequently transfer this excess electron to regenerate the parent chemical. Such regeneration reactions would significantly reduce the effectiveness of any applied advanced oxidation technology remediation effort on NDMA-contaminated natural waters.

Results indicate that although SO3- carries divalent negative charges, it showed the least selectivity for sorption by the Purolite A-520E resin, which is functionalized with triethylamine exchange sites. Nitrate was the most strongly sorbed. Sorption selectivity followed the order of NO3- > CI- > SO42- under the experimental conditions. Nitrate competitively sorbed and displaced previously sorbed SO42- in a column flow-through experiment and resulted in a high elution front of SO42- in the effluent. Although the concentration of uranium in groundwater is orders of magnitude lower than that of NO3- or SO42-, it was found to be strongly sorbed by the anion-exchange resin. Because the most stable uranium species in oxic and suboxic environments is the UO22+ cation, its strong sorption by anion-exchange resins is hypothesized to be the result of the co-ion effect of NO3- by forming anionic UO2(NO3)3 complexes in the resin matrix. These observations point out a potential alternative remediation strategy that uses strong-base anion-exchange resins to remove uranium from this site-specific groundwater, which has a low pH and a relatively high NO3- concentration.

Phospholipid fatty acid analysis revealed that approximately 104-105 viable cells per gram of dry rock are extant, and water availability was shown to he the primary factor limiting microbial growth in situ. Phosphate and carbon limitation, however, also suppress final cell densities by at least one order of magnitude under saturated conditions. Despite these limiting factors, significant growth of aerobic chemoheterotrophic microorganisms was shown to occur in unconcentrated simulated groundwater with or without addition of a reduced carbon source (7 × 107 and 8 × 106 planktonic cells/mL, respectively), indicating that when water becomes available in the repository environment, microbial growth will ensue. Organisms that were isolated from stationary cultures grown from Yucca Mountain rock in concentrated and unconcentrated simulated groundwaters showed significant 16S rDNA sequence divergence from reference organisms. Different (but related) organisms were isolated from concentrated and unconcentrated groundwater-grown cultures. Generally, as experimental conditions approached those expected to he encountered in situ, the organisms isolated were more divergent from reference organisms. Organisms that were isolated have metabolic properties that could allow them to he active and grow within the repository environment if water availability is sufficient.

In 2000 more than 115 million tons of fluids were extracted, but only about 20% was injected back into the reservoirs. This deficit has contributed to a drop in pressures resulting in localized boiling, influx of cooler groundwater and other reservoir processes. The influence of geologic features, especially faults, on these processes and on the response of different parts of the field to production is described. The study illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to gain an understanding of the behavior of geothermal systems under production.

The following scenarios of parental geothermal fluid upflow were studied: (1) single-phase conditions, 260 °C at the bottom (‘Ogiri’ type); (2) two-phase conditions, 300 °C at the bottom (‘Hatchobaru’ type); and (3) heat pipe conditions, 260 °C at the bottom (‘Matsukawa’ type). THC modeling for the single-phase upflow scenario shows wairakite, quartz, K-feld spar and chlorite formed as the principal secondary minerals in the production zone, and illite-smectite formed below 230 °C. THC modeling of the two-phase upflow shows that quartz, K-feldspar (microcline), wairakite and calcite precipitate in the model as principal secondary minerals in the production zone. THC modeling of heat pipe conditions shows no significant secondary deposition of minerals (quartz, K-feldspar, zeolites) in the production zone. The influence of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of chemical interaction, and of mass fluxes on mineral phase changes, was found to be significant, depending on the upflow regime. It was found that no parental geothermal fluid inflow is needed for zeolite precipitation, which occurs above 140 °C in saturated andesite, provided that the porosity is greater than 0.001. In contrast, quartz and K-feldspar precipitation may result in a significant porosity reduction over a hundred-year time scale under mass flux conditions, and complete fracture sealing will occur given sufficient time under either single-phase or two-phase upflow scenarios. A heat pipe scenario shows no significant porosity reduction due to lack of secondary mineral phase deposition.

T1 - A multiyear synthesis of soil respiration responses to elevated atmospheric CO2 from four forest FACE experiments. JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 10 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1027 EP - 1042 SN - 13541013 AB - The rapidly rising concentration of atmospheric CO2 has the potential to alter forest and global carbon cycles by altering important processes that occur in soil. Forest soils contain the largest and longest lived carbon pools in terrestrial ecosystems and are therefore extremely important to the land–atmosphere exchange of carbon and future climate. Soil respiration is a sensitive integrator of many soil processes that control carbon storage in soil, and is therefore a good metric of changes to soil carbon cycling. Here, we summarize soil respiration data from four forest free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiments in developing and established forests that have been exposed to elevated atmospheric [CO2] (168 μL L−1 average enrichment) for 2–6 years. The sites have similar experimental design and use similar methodology (closed-path infrared gas analyzers) to measure soil respiration, but differ in species composition of the respective forest communities. We found that elevated atmospheric [CO2] stimulated soil respiration at all sites, and this response persisted for up to 6 years. Young developing stands experienced greater stimulation than did more established stands, increasing 39% and 16%, respectively, averaged over all years and communities. Further, at sites that had more than one community, we found that species composition of the dominant trees was a major controller of the absolute soil CO2 efflux and the degree of stimulation from CO2 enrichment. Interestingly, we found that the temperature sensitivity of bulk soil respiration appeared to be unaffected by elevated atmospheric CO2. These findings suggest that stage of stand development and species composition should be explicitly accounted for when extrapolating results from elevated CO2 experiments or modeling forest and global carbon cycles.

The mechanical design presents a support structure based on the use of keys and bladders without self-supporting collars. This technology has been proven effective in several successful common coil Nb3Sn dipoles built at LBNL, and it is for the fit time applied to a cos(2ϑ) design. In this paper we present a de$al4ed analysis of the quadrupole mechanical behavior, demonstrating the possibility of delivering, through this method, well-controlled coil pre-compression during assembly, cool-down and excitation. The study has been performed with the finite element program ANSYS.

It serves to support the magnet accurately and reliably within the vacuum vessel, to provide all required cryogenic piping, and to insulate the cold mass from heat radiated and conducted from the environment. The major components of the cryostat are the vacuum vessel, thermal shield multi-layer Insulation system,. cryogenic piping, interconnections, and suspension system. While responsibility for the design and manufacture of the main quadrupole elements is divided between Fermilab and KEK, Fermilab alone Is responsible for the design and final assembly of the cryostat for the LHC inner triplets. This paper describes the experience gained during fabrication of the first complete Q2 magnets, the alignment operation and results and the cryogenic performance of the magnet on the test stand at Fermilab.

Energy deposition will be so large that the lifetime and quench performance of Interaction region (IR) magnets may be significantly reduced if conventional designs are used. Moreover, the cryogenic capacity of the LHC will have to be significantly Increased as the energy deposition load on the infraction region (IR) magnets by Itself will exhaust the present capacity. We propose an alternate open midplane dipole design concept for the dipole-first optics that mitigates these issues. The proposed design takes advantage of the fact that most of the energy is deposited in the midplane region. The coil midplane region is kept free of superconductor, support structure and other material. Initial energy deposition calculations show that the increase in temperature remains within the quench tolerance of the superconducting coils. In addition, most of the energy is deposited in a relatively warm region where the heat removal is economical. We present the basic concept and preliminary design that includes several innovations.

The coating was selected based on the studies of cable samples with various strand coating. Ten 1-m long dipoles and two 6-m long dipoles were manufacturing using the cable with natural oxide coating of strands. These dipoles had low value of AC losses in the coil and reached the maximum magnetic field of 6.5 T in magnet aperture at the current ramp rates up to 0.8 T/s and 4.25 K temperature The effects of interlayer splices and able electrical insulation on the magnet ramp rate dependence are also reported.

Fast ramp times are needed. These can cause problems of ac loss and field distortion in the magnets. For the high energy ring, a 1 m model dipole magnet has been built, based on the RHIC dipole design. This magnet was tested under boiling liquid helium in a vertical dewar. The quench current showed very little dependence on ramp rate. The ac losses, measured by an electrical method, were fitted to straight line plots of losses cycle versus ramp rate, thereby separating the eddy current and hysteresis components. These results were compared with calculated values, using parameters which had previously been measured on short samples of cable. Reasonably good agreement between theory and experiment was found, although the measured hysteresis loss is higher than expected in ramps to the highest field levels.

With one of the mirror magnet, HFDA-03A, which had extra lead cables installed, some precursory voltage signals were observed at soldered joints in the high field region, leading to quenches at high ramp rate. These voltage signals diminish with slower ramp rate. The ramp rate dependence of the quench behaviors is experimentally studied. In the course of these quench investigation we developed a method to cancel the inductive voltage in the voltage tap signals. This method proved very effective to understand clearly how the quenches are propagating in all parts of the magnets.

New and more demanding applications for superconducting accelerator magnets require the use of alternative materials. Several programs in the US are taking advantage of recent improvements in Nb3Sn to develop high field magnets for new applications. Highlights and challenges of the US R&D program are presented along with the status of conductor development. In addition, a new R&D focus, the US LHC Accelerator Research Program, will be discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity JF - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 348 SN - 10518223 AB - The Superconducting Magnet Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been developing the technology for using brittle superconductor in high-field accelerator magnets. HIM, the latest in a series of magnets, contains two, double-layer Nb3Sn flat racetrack coils. This single-bore dipole configuration, using the highest performance conductor available, was designed and assembled for a 16 tesla conductor/structure/pre-stress proof-of-principle. With the combination of brittle conductor and high Lorentz stress, considerable care was taken to predict the magnet's mechanical responses to pre-stress, cool-down, and excitation. Subsequent cold testing satisfied expectations: Training started at 136 T, 83% of "short-sample", achieved 90% in 10 quenches, and reached its peak bore field (16 T) after 19 quenches. The average plateau, ∼92% of "short-sample", appeared to be limited by "stick-slip" conductor motions, consistent with the 16.2 T conductor "lift-off" pre-stress that was chosen for this first test. Some lessons learned and some implications for future conductor and magnet technology development are presented and discussed.

The results revealed that the previously suspect splice technique is adequate and is not responsible for the quench performance limitation. Cable instability is the preferred candidate, however this might be coupled with other effects since all of the experimental results cannot be explained exclusively with cable instability.

This magnet has several innovative features such as: single-layer racetrack coils, a 22-mm wide 60-strand Rutherford type cable made of 0.7-inm Nb3Sn strands, and a stainless steel coil-support structure reinforced by horizontal bridges inserted between coil blocks. The model was instrumented with voltage taps, quench heaters, temperature sensors and strain gauges in order to monitor the quench origin, and to study mechanical and quench protection issues. This paper summarizes the model design parameters, the fabrication procedures and the test results.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity JF - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 361 EP - 364 SN - 10518223 AB - During a quench, significant temperatures can arise as a magnet's stored energy is dissipated in the normal zone. Temperature gradients during this process give rise to localized strains within the coil. Reactive forces in the magnet structure balance the electromagnetic and thermal forces and maintain on equilibrium. In this paper we present a complete 3D finite element analysis of a racetrack coil. Specifically, the analysis focuses on thermal, electrical and mechanical conditions in a 10 T Nb3Sn coil built and tested as part of LBNL's Subscale Magnet Program. The study at- tempts to simulate time history of the temperature and voltage rise during quench propagation. The transient thermal stress after the quench is then evaluated and discussed.

In the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) project, a superconducting type helical dipole magnets had been developed and it performed successfully in high-energy polarized proton acceleration. The new AGS helical snake has the same basic magnetic structure but is more complicated. To achieve no beam shift and no beam deflection in one magnetic device, helical pitches and rotating angles were carefully calculated. Compared to a superconducting magnet, a normal warm magnet must have a large cross-sectional area of conductors which make it difficult to design a magnet with large helical pitch. We developed a modified window frame structure to accommodate the large number of conductors. Its three dimensional magnetic field was simulated by using OPERA3D/TOSCA.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity JF - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 548 EP - 551 SN - 10518223 AB - The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is one of the general-purpose particle detectors presently being built for the LHC project at CERN. The superconducting CMS solenoid will produce a magnetic field of 4 T in a bore 6 m in diameter and 12.5 m long. The coil is wound from 20 high purity aluminum-stabilized NbTi conductors with a total length of 45 km. The main part of the structural integrity of the CMS coil is ensured by aluminum-alloy reinforcement welded to the high purity aluminum stabilizer of the conductor. The Rutherford type superconducting cable within the stabilizer consists of 32 copper-stabilized multifilamentary NbTi strands each with Nb barrier. The strands are optimized with respect to a high critical current density (&rg; 3000 A/mm² at 5 T, 4.2 K). Approximately 1950 km of superconducting strand has been produced from 148 extrusion billets and cabled in unit lengths of 2.65 km. All strands within a cable can unambiguously be identified by distinctive patterns of the NbTi filaments. The statistics of Ic measurements, n-value, copper RRR and (Cu + Nb)/NbTi ratio are presented. Since the strands are subjected to potentially dangerous high temperatures and mechanical strain during the different conductor production steps it was important to trace the critical current properties of the strand as it progressed through the conductor fabrication process. The paper presents results of Ic measurement, which were performed on all individual strands extracted from conductor samples taken at each step of the manufacturing process. The comparison among the measurements assured accurate quality control during the whole process of conductor production. In addition, Ic measurements in fields up to 6 T on the complete CMS conductors using the MaRiSA test facility are reported.

A superconducting magnet system is required for the arc section of the primary proton beam line to be within the space available at the site. A system with 28 combined function magnets is proposed to simplify the system and optimize the cost. The required fields for the magnets are 2.6 T dipole and 19 T/m quadrupole. The magnets are also required to have a large aperture, 173.4 mm diameter, to accommodate the large beam emittance. The magnets will be protected by cold diodes and cooled by forced flow supercritical helium produced by a 4.5 K, 2∼2.5 kW refrigerator. This paper reports the system overview and the design status.

We are investigating several approaches for fabricating multistrand cables in which the Cu is added at the final, i.e., cabling, stage of manufacture. These include mixed strand Rutherford-type cables with pure Cu strands cabled together with superconductor strands that have a low volume fraction of Cu, Cu added as a core to a Rutherford-type cable, and Cu strip added to the surface of the cable. Results on fabrication of several alternate types of Nb3Sn cables are presented. The more promising types of mixed strand and cored cables are being evaluated in short sample and small magnet tests. These results will be presented and the performance will be compared with conventional Rutherford cables where the Cu is an integral component of the superconductor strand.

Realization of a high Jc round wire made it possible to fabricate many kinds of cable developed for applications of low temperature superconductors (LTC). We successfully fabricated a 30-strand Rutherford cable using 0.8 mmd round wire. Optimization of cabling factor enables to reduce the Ic degradation at the cable edge. Ic values were about 650-750 A at 65 K in a noninductive winding condition, which corresponds to 11-13 kA at 4.2 K in self-field.

Stainless Steels (SS), Elgiloy and MP3SN were studied for their potential use as the reinforcement materials. The fabrication routes include the annealing, deformation and aging. The SS materials were tested in deformed and annealed conditions, whereas Elgiloy and MP3SN were tested in aged conditions be- cause of the strengthening effects of aging. Examination of the microstructure and mechanical properties of these materials reveals that the microstructures developed during the fabrication influence the mechanical response of the materials to the Lorentz force and other external forces. The strengthening mechanisms of these materials have been considered in details and related to the possible mechanical response to the Lorentz forces.

They have the advantage that there is no coupling between the coils of the traditional two-coil systems, and that the magnet can be built much smaller, and it has longer pulse times. The fields that can be achieved are determined by the strain limitation of the conductor, and the strength and stiffness of the reinforcement. We have investigated the material requirements for this type of magnet to define the objectives for material development. It follows that future material development activities for reliable 100 T magnets should focus on conductors with the following specifications (all values are at 77 K): a) Ultimate conductor strength of 1.2 GPa, b) Conductivity of 500 percent IACS, c) 10 percent strain to failure, d) Fatigue strength of I GPa at about 5000 full load cycles from tensile stress at peak pulse to compressive stress after the pulse of about 0.6 GPa. It is equally important to improve the reinforcement materials. At the NHMFL, we use with great success a combination of Zylon fiber and MP3SN superalloy. We have increased the isotropic strength of MP3SN at 77 K to 2.6 GPa (modulus 240 GPa), and are working on further improvements.

If successful, this will enhance the performance and reduce the cost of operation of magnets that must absorb a large amount of energy. The need for developing this technology has been seen in a number of high field magnet applications for high energy colliders, and a medium field application in the proposed Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA). The likelihood of the future use of HTS is improving because of the availability of longer and more uniform length tapes and cables and because of the ongoing construction and test experience at BNL and elsewhere. The design of a super-ferric quadrupole, that must survive the very high radiation environment of RIA, and operate at 20-40 K, is also presented.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity JF - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1233 EP - 1236 SN - 10518223 AB - In 1989, the NHMFL Pulsed Magnetic Field User Facility was set up at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Two programs were initially conceived: 1) The construction of a 60 T long pulse magnet energized by the 600 MJ, 540 MW generator, and 2) a high field magnet program for the 1.6 MJ/32 mF capacitor bank with an operating range of 10 kV. These magnets are designed and built at the NHMFL. Our pulse coil development has its roots in the work accomplished by the group in Leuven which served as a starting point for our technical development programs. After having established the technology, we have focused our efforts on increased reliability. Our present user magnet design is based upon the use of distributed MP35N and Zylon reinforcement. These 60 T short pulse (5.7 ms pulse rise time) and 50 T mid-pulse (40 ms pulse rise time) magnets have become the "workhorse" magnets of the Pulsed Magnetic Field User Facility since the failure of the first 60 T long pulse magnet. Coil longevities of 1500 shots, of which half are at full field, are becoming the standard. Presently, the short pulse group is engaged in several programs to increase the science opportunities at our user facility. The development activities encompass fast-cool magnet systems, allowing a shot at least every 20 minutes, the production of a new generation of user coils for higher fields, and a 100 T insert. We present a technical overview of our development programs and new coil designs, including materials development and characterization, identifying those areas critical to progress toward even more reliable and stronger magnetic fields.

Additionally the layer-to-layer winding transitions, associated with monolithic coil construction, are problematic and often the source of catastrophic failure in pulsed coils. FEA analysis of transition structures has confirmed the lessons of operational experience. Additionally the layer-to-layer winding transitions present an unacceptable risk a short circuit fault to the reinforcement structure. These attributes of monolithic coil construction have limited the fields where pulsed magnets can be operated to approximately 60 T. Several operational issues arise above this field: coil reliability degrades, and the time required to cool the magnet between shots is increased, since higher field monolithic coils require large amounts of distributed internal reinforcement to limit conductor strain. We are developing a new `poly-layer' coil construction to address these engineering requirements. In this construction, each layer is wound separately on a forming mandrel, and then installed onto an assembly mandrel. Spool pieces are installed at each end to support the lead exits as they transition out of the windings. Each layer is joined in series with the next in a joint structure that is constrained in the radial and circumferential directions, but free to move with the coil in the axial direction. Furthermore, the coil reinforcement is used to support the lead in the transition region between the windings and the joint. The new design represents a change in our manufacturing template that is intended to allow development of higher field coils. This paper will report design details and the results from prototype testing.

Record fields are achieved through a successful interplay between the precise understanding of the physics of magnets, the detailed knowledge and conscious use of the available materials, and a design that optimizes all the different parameters. We describe three technologies essential for the generation of the highest magnetic fields: coils wound from high-temperature superconductors (HTS) operated at liquid helium temperatures in a background field; high-power resistive magnets; and hybrid magnets, which combine the advantages of resistive and super-conducting magnets. HTS show high current densities at elevated fields confirmed so far by measurements up to 33 T. In spite of the strain limitation of the conductor, insert coils up to 3.2 T have been built at different laboratories for a total field of 23.5 T. Recently a record field of 25 T using a 5 T Bi2Sr2 CaCu2Ox superconducting insert coil has been achieved at the NHMFL. For resistive magnets, dramatic improvements in magnet design, such as the Florida-Bitter magnet, and new materials, such as the microcomposite CuAg, have made it possible that magnetic fields can now be generated that exceed the fields that hybrid magnets produced 10 years ago. Today, 33 T are provided on a routine basis with resistive magnets. The highest continuous magnetic field ever of 45 T is obtained with a new generation of hybrid magnets. It is available for scientific research in our user facility.

The technique preserves the best features of the Florida-Bitter technology that has become the international standard for resistive magnets while eliminating the slit inherent in all disk solenoids. Thus, higher current densities and average stresses can be supported.

The basic configuration will be a Series-Connected Hybrid, wherein resistive insert and superconducting outsert are connected in series and powered by a single 10-MW unit (20 kA and 500 V) of the NHMFL dc power system, a configuration with advantages for handling faults and off-normal operating conditions and with improved temporal stability. Specific design goals are 35 T, 10-ppm uniformity over a 10-mm DSV, and access for 40-mm diameter probes. By powering the superconducting outsert with 20-kA high-temperature-super-conductor (HTS) current leads, cryogenic loads are kept small, substantially smaller even than the present 45-T Hybrid. The net result is a magnet design: 1) with capability for both higher field and higher field quality than present resistive-only systems, 2) that permits simultaneous service of two or more users, 3) that is sufficiently compact to fit within the standard resistive-magnet cell, 4) whose ease of operation is comparable to resistive-only systems, and 5) whose lifetime cost (including construction and operation) can be significantly lower than comparable resistive-only systems. We discuss details of the existing conceptual design, the methodology for its creation, the perceived development needs, and the projected program to realize this system.

In one instance, accelerator dipoles will be ramped at 1 T/sec, with measurements needed to the typical level of accuracy for accelerators, ΔB/B better than 0.01%. To meet this need, we have begun development of a system containing 16 stationary pickup windings that will be sampled at a high rate. It is hoped that harmonics through the decapole can be measured with this system. Precise measurement of the time-dependent harmonics requires that both the pickup windings and the voltmeters be nearly identical. To minimize costs, printed circuit boards are being used for the pickup windings and a combination of amplifiers and ADC's for voltmeters. In addition, new software must be developed for the analysis. The paper will present a status report on this work.

This steel also serves as part of the muon detection system of CMS and accurate characterization of the magnetic flux density in the steel as elsewhere in the detector is required. Voltages induced in the flux loops during fast discharge of the solenoid will be sampled and integrated to measure the change in average flux density in the steel during the discharge. Hall probes mounted on the surface of the steel segments will provide information about the fields internal and external to the steel. In the laboratory work reported herein small iron discs with flux loops on their peripheries and hall probes on their flat surfaces are magnetized between the pole tips of a laboratory standard magnet and controlled power supply. The voltages induced in the flux loops during charging and discharging of the magnet are integrated and compared with the hall probes which sample the fields immediately external to the discs. The experimental work reported here will provide interpretation of the flux coil and hall probe measurements from the CMS magnet when it is commissioned in 2005.

Approximating the external magnetic field by its value at the location of the equivalent magnetic dipoles, the equivalent magnetic dipoles' strengths are linearly proportional to the external magnetic field, for a given time dependence of external magnetic field, and are given by the equivalent dipole polarizability matrix. The polarizability matrix and its associated equivalent dipole location are estimated from magnetic field measurements made with at least three linearly independent polarizations of external magnetic fields at the body. Uncertainties in the polarizability matrix elements and its equivalent dipole location are obtained from analysis of a linearized inversion for polarizability and dipole location. Polarizability matrix uncertainties are independent of the scale of the polarizability matrix. Dipole location uncertainties scale inversely with the scale of the polarizability matrix. Uncertainties in principal polarizabilities and directions are obtained from the sensitivities of eigenvectors and eigenvalues to perturbations of a symmetric matrix. In application to synthetic data from a magnetic conducting sphere and to synthetic data from an axially symmetric elliptic conducting body, the estimated polarizability matrices, equivalent dipole locations, and principal polarizabilities and directions are consistent with their estimated uncertainties.

The uncertainties in polarizability estimates and in the equivalent dipole location provide a quantitative measure of the performance of different configurations of transmitters and receivers. In another paper, we estimate these uncertainties using a linearized inversion. For many systems, consisting of one or more rectangular loop transmitters and a number of dipole receivers, sited on a horizontal grid, equivalent dipole depth is determined to 10% accuracy to depths approximately 20% deeper than the depths at which polarizability matrix elements can be determined to the same precision. Systems that have a lower product of rms polarizability uncertainty and square root of their number of transmitter-receiver pairs are considered more effective for the number of transmitter-receiver pairs. Among the systems studied, a system with three orthogonal transmitter loops and a three-component receiver is the most effective, for objects shallower than 0.6 times the instrument siting grid spacing, yielding an rms polarizability uncertainty 0,04 times that of a single-transmitter single-receiver system. At intermediate depths, a system with two vertical component receivers on the diagonal of a square horizontal transmitter loop is most effective for its number of transmitter-receiver pairs, yielding an rms polarizability uncertainty 0.07 limes that of a single receiver system. At depths greater than 2.5 times, the siting grid spacing a three-orthogonal loop transmitter with a single vertical component receiver is about the most effective for its number of transmitter-receiver pairs, yielding an rms polarizability uncertainty 0.08 limes that of a single-transmitter system.

The order of nodes visited along the route has a significant impact on the quality and cost of fused data, which, in turn, impacts the main objective of the sensor network, such as target classification or tracking. We present a simplified analytical model for a distributed sensor network and formulate the route computation problem in terms of maximizing an objective function, which is directly proportional to the received signal strength and inversely proportional to the path loss and energy consumption. We show this problem to be NP-complete and propose a genetic algorithm to compute an approximate solution by suitably employing a two-level encoding scheme and genetic operators tailored to the objective function We present simulation results for networks with different node sizes and sensor distributions, which demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm over two existing heuristics, namely, local closest first and global closest first methods.

A major drawback of such methods is the inability to accurately locate regions that manifest nonlinear associations with clinical variables. In this paper, we propose Bayesian morphological analysis methods, based on a Bayesian-network representation, for the analysis of MR brain images. First, we describe how Bayesian networks (BNs) can represent probabilistic associations among voxels and clinical (function) variables. Second, we present a model-selection framework, which generates a BN that captures structure-function relationships from MR brain images and function variables. We demonstrate our methods in the context of determining associations between regional brain atrophy (as demonstrated on MR images of the brain), and functional deficits. We employ two data sets for this evaluation: the first contains MR images of 11 subjects, where associations between regional atrophy and a functional deficit are almost linear; the second data set contains MR images of the ventricles of 84 subjects, where the structure-function association is nonlinear. Our methods successfully identify voxel-wise morphological changes that are associated with functional deficits in both data sets, whereas standard statistical analysis (i.e., t-test and paired t-test) fails in the nonlinear-association case.

This system uses information from the newly commissioned Central Fiber Tracker and Preshower Detectors to generate Level 1 trigger decisions. It also generates lists of seed tracks and preshower clusters that are sent to the Level 1 Muon Trigger, L2 Silicon Track Trigger, and Central and Forward Preshower Level 2 preprocessors. The system consists of modular boards which utilize field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to implement trigger algorithms. The system delivers trigger decisions every 132 ns, based on input data flowing at a maximum sustained rate of 475 gigabits per second. The first results of trigger efficiency studies are presented.

We describe the features of fast-track (FTK), a highly parallel processor dedicated to the efficient execution of a fast-tracking algorithm. The hardware-dedicated structure optimizes speed and size; these parameters are evaluated for the ATLAS experiment. We discuss some applications of high-quality tracks available to the trigger logic at an early stage, by using the LHC environment as a benchmark. The most interesting application is online selection of b-quarks down to very low transverse momentum, providing interesting hadronic samples: examples are Z0 → &bbar;, potentially useful for jet calibration, and multi-b final states for supersymmetric Higgs searches. The paper is generated from outside the ATLAS experiment and has not been discussed by the ATLAS collaboration.

The physics program of the experiment requires the Level 3 data acquisition (DAQ) system system to handle average event sizes of 250 kilobytes at a rate of 1 kHz. The system routes and transfers event fragments of approximately 1-20 kilobytes from 63 VME crate sources to any of approximately 100 processing nodes. It is built upon a Cisco 6509 Ethernet switch, standard PCs, and commodity VME single board computers (SBCs). The system has been in full operation since spring 2002.

We present feasibility studies of an oscillator concept using an amplifier with delayed feedback. Simulations of a 560-GHz oscillator and experimental evaluation of the concept at 50 GHz are presented. Additionally, results from various fabrication methods that are under investigation, such as X-ray lithography, electroforming, and molding (LIGA), UV LIGA, and deep reactive ion etching are presented. Observations and measurements are reported on the generation of stable single-frequency oscillation states. On varying the feedback level, the oscillation changes from a stable single-frequency state at the threshold to multifrequency spectra in the overdriven state. Simulation and experimental results on amplifier characterization and dynamics of the regenerative TWT oscillator include spectral evolution and phase stability of the generated frequencies. The results of the experiment are in good agreement with the simulations.

The simulation algorithm takes an iterative approach by alternately solving the Poisson equation and the beam trajectory equations to converge toward a self-consistent steady-state solution. This approach is similar to that employed in steady-state gun codes. However, it is well known from gun simulations that the iterative algorithm can be slow to converge. We have found the slow convergence is due to a convective numerical instability. To speed up convergence, we implemented and tested stabilization schemes based on mixing one-dimensional and 2-D Poisson potentials during the iteration cycles. These schemes are shown to accelerate convergence considerably. The fully 2-D dc space-charge model permits accurate treatment of the axial dc space-charge field in the computation of the large signal gain and efficiency, taking into account the fast variation of beam parameters along the device axis. Therefore, it can be applied to a mismatched beam with large scalloping motion. The methodology of incorporating dc space charge is general and could be incorporated in other large signal codes.

The results verify the long-standing conjecture that a frequency canceled by signal injection is composed of a component due to the injected signal and a component due to the nonlinearity of the TWT. Further- more, the structures of the solutions are exploited to explain and predict behavior for various signal injection schemes. The scenarios studied include second harmonic injection to reduce the second harmonic and enhance the fundamental, multiple harmonic injection to eliminate the sensitive output power dependence on injected phase, second harmonic injection to reduce intermodulation distortion, and multiple signal injection to reduce the intermodulation spectrum. Insights are given regarding the effectiveness of an injection depending on whether the injected signal is within or outside the linear gain bandwidth of the TWT.

These experiments were driven by the long- pulse electron beam from an accelerator with parameters as follows: voltage of -300 kV, current of 1-JO kA, and typical pulse-length of 0.5 μs. This paper reports investigations of high-power microwave generation, mode competition, and pulse shortening for the relativistic magnetron with a ceramic insulator compared to a plastic insulator. The ceramic insulator improves the vacuum by a factor of ten (to 107 torr range) and flattens the voltage of the accelerator. Relativistic magnetron performance with the ceramic insulator shows increased microwave power and pulselength over the plastic insulator. Effects of RF breakdown in the extraction wave- guide on peak microwave power and pulselength are also investigated by utilizing SF6 in one or both of the extraction waveguides.

To understand such behavior, we analyze the convergence, with respect to element size, of the basic space-charge-limited (SCL) emission algorithm in a one-dimensional (1-D) finite-element electrostatic gun model. With the current density fixed at the Child's law value, we find that the relative error of the potential at the first vertex adjacent to the cathode does not converge to zero, but rather increases as the mesh is refined. Convergence of the basic SCL emission algorithm, which depends on said error, is due instead to the increasing sensitivity of the potential to the current density. The current density converges slowly from above to the Child's law value, with a maximum error of 2.7 % and ultimately with a sublinear convergence rate of 2/3. Tests on a three-dimensional parallel plate geometry with unstructured meshes of tetrahedral elements demonstrate that in- sight from the 1-D model applies to a general-purpose code. The behavior is similar to the 1-D model, but with a maximum error of 4.3%. Thus, using an unstructured mesh instead of a smooth structured mesh introduces only a modest additional error to the beam current. Based on the analysis of the 1-D model, we present two scaled SCL emission algorithms. The first exhibits linear convergence from below. The second limits the maximum error to 0.9%. Similar scalings can be employed in general-purpose gun codes to improve the accuracy of the computed beam current.

In addition to pathogens distributed by man, there is a need to detect natural outbreaks. The types of biological agents of concern include bacteria, spores, protozoa, and viruses. From a chemist's viewpoint, pathogens are essentially complex packages of chemicals that are assembled into organized packages with somewhat predictable physical characteristics such as size and shape.

First-principles density functional calculations identify the atomic-scale mechanisms for the two types of behavior and conditions that are necessary for each. Using the results of the atomic-scale calculations we develop a model for enhanced interface-trap formation at low dose rates due to space charge effects in the base oxides of bipolar devices. We find that the hole trapping in the oxide cannot be responsible for all the Enhanced Low-Dose-Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS) effects in SiO2, and the contribution of protons is also essential. The dynamics of interface-trap formation are defined by the relation between the proton mobility (transport time of the protons across the oxide) and the time required for positive-charge buildup near the interface due to trapped holes. The analytically estimated and numerically calculated interface-trap densities are found to be in very good agreement with available experimental data.

This limits the clinical utility of such markers for individuals with the skeletal complications associated with many disease states (e.g., metastatic cancer, renal failure, osteoporosis). We are developing the capability to measure small changes (5-10%) in bone turnover rate in vivo by tagging the living skeleton with [41]Ca. Among the stable and radioactive calcium isotopes, only [41]Ca is useful for direct quantitation of bone turnover because it is extremely rare in nature and radiologically benign (105 years half-life, pure electron capture decay). The ratio of this tracer to total calcium remains quantifiable in body fluids and excreta via accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) for many years following a single physiological-sized oral or intravenous dose. The highly automated AMS instrumentation and streamlined sample preparation allows a single operator to prepare or run more than 100 samples per day--significantly more than other [41]Ca programs worldwide. We intend to exploit these measurements for earlier diagnosis of pathological processes and interactive intervention with therapeutic agents, allowing modulation of these agents to obtain the best individual result for a patient.

A pulse-shaped split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), modified for low-impedance material testing, was used to ensure that the samples deformed under dynamic equilibrium and at a nearly constant strain-rate. Dynamic stress equilibrium in the specimen was monitored for each experiment using piezoelectric force transducers mounted close to the specimen end-faces. Quasi-static experiments were also conducted to demonstrate rate effects of the foam, as well as to study its failure behavior. It was determined that the compressive strength of the foam increased with strain rate up to a transition strain rate of between 550 and 1030s-1. For experiments conducted at strain rates above this transition range, strain-rate-induced damage caused the compressive strength of the foam to decrease. Based on the experimental results, a constitutive model with strain-rate and damage effects was developed, which described the test data well.

The fabrication sequence uses few additional process steps and only one additional masking layer compared to a MEMS-only technology. The process flow forms the MOSFET gate electrode using the first level of mechanical polycrystalline silicon, while the MOSFET source and drain regions are formed by dopant diffusions into the substrate from subsequent levels of heavily doped poly that is used for mechanical elements. The process yields devices with good, repeatable electrical characteristics suitable for a wide range of digital and analog applications.

These mirrors may be actuated through large angles at low voltage and low current. Multiple coils on the backs of the mirrors interact with permanent magnetic fields to provide two-axis orthogonal actuation. A custom package brings the MEMS mirror array and magnets into close proximity. Actuation is linear versus drive current on both axes, and displays negligible charging and drift. These mirrors have achieved greater than 10° mechanical rotation per mA in each axis. The mirror rotation angle is hysteresis free to less than the 0.01° measurement accuracy.

The present study applies the focused ion beam (FIB) tool to the characterization of nanoscale structures for scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The strength of this method is its ability to manufacture samples that cannot be produced using traditional means. The films of nanoparticles examined here are examples of such systems; the films are found to be not fully dense, composed of chemically heterogeneous areas and mechanically different from the substrate. Distinct advantages of the application of the FIB for characterization of nanoscale structures are highlighted for several nanoparticle structures. This successful application of FIB techniques provides a pathway to integrate the study of nanoscale production techniques and their resulting structure–property relationships.

This method is based upon the spatial Fourier transform of the seismic displacement-discontinuity (SDD) boundary conditions (also called linear slip interface conditions), and therefore, called the wave-number-domain SDD method (wd-SDD method). The resulting boundary conditions explicitly show the coupling between plane waves with an incident wave number component (specular component) and scattered waves which do not follow Snell's law (nonspecular components) if the fracture is viewed as a planar boundary. For a spatially periodic fracture compliance distribution, these boundary conditions can be cast into a linear system of equations that can be solved for the amplitudes of individual wave modes and wave numbers. We demonstrate the developed technique for a simulated fracture with a stochastic (correlated) surface compliance distribution. Low- and high-frequency solutions of the method are also compared to the predictions by low-order Born series in the weak and strong scattering limit.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 115 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3059 EP - 3067 SN - 00014966 AB - This study investigates the performance of a frequency domain viscoacoustic full wave form nonlinear inversion to obtain high resolution images of velocity and attenuation. An efficient frequency domain implementation is applied that consists of performing a series of single frequency inversions sweeping from low to high frequency. A cascaded inversion was adopted in which the real part of the velocity is first imaged using the phase information, then the quality factor (Q) is imaged using the amplitude information. Tests with synthetic data indicate that our approach yielded better images than the simultaneous determination of the real and imaginary parts of the complex velocity. The method is applied to laboratory data obtained in a water tank with suspended acrylic bars. Broadband 200 kHz data are obtained for a crosshole configuration with a computer-controlled scanning system and piezofilm source and detector. The velocity image produced by the full wave form inversion is compared to a curved ray travel time tomography velocity image, and was observed to possess higher resolution and more precise locations of the acrylic bars. The Q image shows a lower resolution than the velocity image, but recovers the correct Q for acrylic. This method can be applied for geophysical applications targeted to soil, unconsolidated rocks, and marine sediments and also nondestructive evaluation and medical applications.

Up to 625 plants, representing ∼44% of the nameplate capacity of all coal-fired plants, could switch. If all switched, more than $8.8 billion additional capital would be required and the cost of electricity would increase by up to $5.9 billion per year, depending on levels of plant derating. Coal switching would result in sulfur dioxide (SO2)emissions reduction of 4.5 million t/yr. Increase in cost of electricity would be in the range of 0.31-0.73 cents per kilowatt-hour. Average cost of S emissions reduction could be as high as $1298 per t of SO2. Up to 367 plants, or 59% of selected plants with 32%of 44% nameplate capacity, could have marginal cost in excess of $1000 per t of SO2. Up to 73 plants would appear to benefit from both a lowering of the annual cost and a lowering of SO2 emissions by switching to the PRB coal.

Willow energy crops are being developed in the northeast US as a fuel source for increasing biomass energy and bioproduct demands. A life cycle inventory is presented that characterizes the full cradle-to-grave energy and environmental performance of willow biomass-to-electricity. A willow biomass production model is developed using demonstration-scale field experience from New York. Scenarios are presented that mimic anticipated cofiring operations, including supplemental use of wood residues, at an existing coal-fired generating facility. At a cofiring rate of 10% biomass, the system net energy ratio (electricity delivered divided by total fossil fuel consumed) increases by 8.9% and net global warming potential decreases by 7–10%. Net SO2 emissions are reduced by 9.5% and a significant reduction in NOx emissions is expected. In addition, we estimate system performance of using willow biomass in dedicated biomass gasification and direct-fired generating facilities and demonstrate that the pollution avoided (relative to the current electricity grid) is comparable to other renewables such as PV and wind.

The behaviors of both contaminated materials and engineered systems are affected by environmental conditions that will continue to evolve over time as a result of such natural processes as climate change, ecological succession, pedogenesis, and landform changes. Understanding these processes is crucial to designing, implementing, and maintaining effective systems for sustained health and environmental protection. Traditional engineered systems such as landfill liners and caps are designed to resist natural processes rather than working with them. These systems cannot be expected to provide long-term isolation without continued maintenance. In some cases, full-scale replacement and remediation may be required within 50 years, at an effort and cost much higher than for the original cleanup. Approaches are being developed to define smarter containment and control systems for stewardship sites, considering lessons learned from implementing prescriptive waste disposal regulations enacted since the 1970s. These approaches more effectively involve integrating natural and engineered systems; enhancing sensors and predictive tools for evaluating performance; and incorporating information on failure events, including precursors and consequences, into system design and maintenance. An important feature is using natural analogs to predict environmental conditions and system responses over the long term, to accommodate environmental change in the design process, and, as possible, to engineer containment systems that mimic favorable natural systems. The key emphasis is harmony with the environment, so systems will work with and rely on natural processes rather than resisting them. Implementing these new integrated systems will reduce current requirements for active management, which are resource-intensive and expensive.

A popular ranking algorithm is the HITS algorithm of Kleinberg. It explores the reinforcing interplay between authority and hub webpages on a particular topic by taking into account the structure of the Web graphs formed by the hyperlinks between the webpages. In this paper, we give a detailed analysis of the HITS algorithm through a unique combination of probabilistic analysis and matrix algebra. In particular, we show that to first-order approximation, the ranking given by the HITS algorithm is the same as the ranking by counting inbound and outbound hyperlinks. Using Web graphs of different sizes, we also provide experimental results to illustrate the analysis.

The intent of this work was to generate removal rate coefficients that would be applicable to the Reactive Well Technology, a groundwater remediation technology that replaces the sand in a filter pack of a conventional well with a reactive material, such as Fe(0). Dissolved Cr(VI) concentration, dissolved O2 concentration, and Eh data indicated that Cr(VI) removal from the aqueous phase was mass-transfer limited. All pseudo-first-order regression fits to the data were significant (P ≤ 0.05), however, they did not capture many of the salient aspects of the data, including that the removal rate often decreased as contact time increased. As such, application of these rate coefficients to predict long-term Cr(VI) removal were compromised. The rate coefficients measured under flow conditions were comparable to those measured previously under batch conditions with significantly greater solution:solid ratios. Between the range of 20 and 100 wt-% Fe(0) in the column, there was little measurable change in the reaction kinetics. Thus, it may be possible to include sand into the reactive filter packs in the event it is necessary to increase filter pack porosity or to decrease the accumulation of secondary reaction products that may lead to filter pack plugging. Background water chemistry (0.2 M NaHCO3, distilled water, and a carbonate-dominated groundwater) had only marginal, if any, effects on reaction rate coefficients. The reaction rates measured in this study indicated that an Fe(0) filter pack could be used to lower Cr(VI) concentrations by several orders of magnitude in a once-through mode of operation of the Reactive Well Technology.

A newly developed 4-D NURBS-based cardiac-torso (NCAT) phantom was used to simulate the 99mTc-sestamibi uptakes in human torso with myocardial defects in the left ventricular (LV) wall. Two phantoms were generated to simulate patients with thick and thin body builds. Projection data including the effects of attenuation, collimator-detector response and scatter were generated using SIMSET Monte Carlo simulations. A large number of photon histories were generated such that the projection data were close to noise free. Poisson noise fluctuations were then added to simulate the count densities found in clinical data. Noise-free and noisy projection data were reconstructed using the iterative OS-EM reconstruction algorithm with attenuation compensation. The reconstructed images from noisy projection data show that the noise levels are lower for the FB as compared to the PH collimator due to increase in detected counts. The NCO acquisition method provides slightly better resolution and small improvement in defect contrast as compared to the CO acquisition method in noise-free reconstructed images. Despite lower projection counts the NCO shows the same noise level as the CO in the attenuation corrected reconstruction images. The results from the channelized Hotelling observer (CHO) study show that FB collimator is superior to PH collimator in myocardial defect detection, but the NCO shows no statistical significant difference from the CO for either PH or FB collimator. In conclusion, our results indicate that data acquisition using NCO makes a very small improvement in the resolution over CO for myocardial SPECT imaging. This small improvement does not make a significant difference on myocardial defect detection. However, an FR collimator provides better defect detection than a PH collimator with similar spatial resolution for myocardial SPECT imaging.

Fundamental physics (energy straggling and multiple Coulomb scattering) ultimately limit treatment performance parameters, even for an ideal beam delivery system. This paper calculates how few independent beam delivery control points are needed in a tumor in order to perform the sharpest possible stereotactic surgery, with 1 % integrated dose flatness.

The detector module consists of 64 LSO crystals coupled on one end to a single photomultiplier tube (PMT) and on the opposite end to a 64 pixel array of silicon photodiodes (PD). The PMT provides an accurate timing pulse, the PDs identify the crystal of interaction, the sum provides a total energy signal and the Γ = PD/(PD + PMT) ratio determines the depth of interaction. We calibrate using the 176Lu natural background radiation of the LSO crystals. We determine the relative gain (K) of the PMT and PD by minimizing the asymmetry of the Γ distribution. We determine the depth dependence from the width of the Γ distribution with optimal K. The performance of calibrated detector modules is evaluated by averaging results from 12 modules. The energy resolution is a function of depth ranging from 24% FWHM at the PD end to 51% FWHM at the PMT end, and the DOI resolution ranges from 6 mm FWHM at the PD end toll nun FWHM at the PMT end.

A design study was performed to define the optimal approach to a pCT system based on specifications for applications in proton therapy. Conceptual and detailed design of a pCT system is presented; the system consists of a silicon-based particle tracking system and a crystal calorimeter to measure energy loss of individual protons. We discuss the formation of pCT images based on the reconstruction of volume electron density maps and the suitability of analytic and statistical algorithms for image reconstruction.

This paper focuses mainly on the object-oriented real-time control and acquisition (ORCA) software that is the framework for the data acquisition system of the NCD array. Particular emphasis is given to the general purpose nature of ORCA and the manner in which it provides generic object-oriented software modules that can be configured and connected together at run-time to build general-purpose data acquisition applications. ORCA is the main graphical user interface for the NCD experiment and is used for hardware initialization, run control, data readout, and data shipping.

One of its characteristic features is a copper-on-Kapton flexible cable for power, high voltage, data transmission, and control signals that is placed directly below the silicon microstrip sensors. The dense packaging makes deadtime-less operation of the stave a challenge since coupling of bus cable activity into the silicon sensors must be suppressed efficiently. The stave design features relevant for deadtime-less operation are discussed. The electrical performance achieved with stave prototypes is presented.

Present imaging detectors have either shown position resolutions that are less than acceptable or they exhibit excessive paralyzing dead times due to the brightness of the source. A detector concept known as MicroMegas (MicroMEsh GAseous Structure) has been developed at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, for high-energy physics charged-particle tracking applications and has shown great promise for handling high data rates with a rather low-cost structure. We are attempting to optimize the MicroMegas detector concept for thermal neutrons and have designed a 1-D neutron strip detector utilizing solid converters which we have tested. In addition, we are performing research into the compatibility of various converter coatings. Our goal is to develop a manufacturable detector that could be scaled to a 1 m², 2-D array for use at the SNS and other facilities.

One promising prospect for detector development has been the neutron imaging detector consisting of a conversion foil, which produce amongst other things α and -γ particles from incident neutrons, and a position sensitive charge particle detector. In order to understand the materials chemistry between layered converters as well as to maximize the production and transmission of the daughter products, we have prepared and characterized a series of thin-films from naturally occurring isotopes of the strong neutron absorbers lithium (Li), boron (B), and gadolinium (Gd). The films have been created using a combination of sputtering and evaporation techniques. The composition of the resulting films have been investigated using EDS and RBS, while the interfacial mixing between the layers has been studied using a combination of RBS and SEM experiments. Experiments studying the aging of the detector films in the detector gas as well as alloying of Li and the film substrate, have also been undertaken and the results are reported here.

Higher granularity and intrinsically suppressed ion feedback are the major advantages of this technology. After a short discussion of these tissues, we present the design of a small and very flexible TPC prototype, whose cylindrical drift volume can be equipped with endcaps of different gas detector types. An endcap with multi-GEM readout is currently set up and successfully operated with a low-noise highly integrated front-end electronics. We discuss results of measurements with this system in high intensity particle beams at CERN, where 99.3 ± 0.2 % single-pad-row efficiency could be achieved at an effective gain of 2.5 × 10³ only, and spatial resolutions down to 63 ±3 μm could be demonstrated. Finally, these results are extrapolated to the high magnetic field in a linear collider TPC.

Quantifying radionuclide concentrations with these systems requires a library of accurate emission intensities for each detected signature, for all candidate radionuclides. While such data are readily available for single gamma-ray emissions, no signature library has been found for coincident emissions such as β - γ, γ - γ, or β - γ - γ. To meet this need, a Coincidence Lookup Library (CLL) is being developed to calculate the emission intensities of coincident signatures from a user-specified radionuclide, or conversely, to determine the radionuclides that may be responsible for a specific detected coincident signature. The algorithms used to generate absolute emission intensities and various user interfaces for the developmental CLL are described.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/06/03/Jun2004 Part 3 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1080 EP - 1083 SN - 00189499 AB - Previous research shows that certain properties, such as half brightness dose (N½) and fluorescence intensity, depend on preparation pressure. Phosphor tablets composed of 50% cellulose and 50% yttrium aluminum garnet doped with cerium (YAG:Ce) powders, were created using a Carver press with an applied force of 78 kN. The average 3-MeV proton N½ for the tablet samples was 11.6 and 36.6 times smaller than equivalent values for the paint and crystal forms of YAG:Ce, respectively. It is quite apparent that the application of a large preparation force damages some of the YAG:Ce grains which reduces the N½. The fluorescence efficiency of the tablets was also less than that measured for the other forms of YAG:Ce.

We have successfully fabricated 3.5 mm thick crossed-strip detectors with active areas of 40 × 40 mm² with a 2 mm strip pitch. These detectors utilize new contact technology consisting of a boron implanted p-type contact and an amorphous silicon (α-Si) n-type contact. Good energy resolution and excellent strip separation was obtained from both contacts at relatively high operating temperatures. An energy resolution of 2.1 keV FWHM at 122 keV was obtained for the α-Sistrip at temperatures up to 200 K and for the boron strip at temperatures up to 240 K. Measurements of the charge sharing between the strips were also performed. When the detector was flood illuminated with 60 keV gamma-rays, a small signal deficit was observed for events in which the signal was shared between two adjacent strips. The amount of deficit depended on the contact type, strip geometry and the operating temperature.

The failure analysis is crucial for a system with over 2500 processing nodes and a number of storage units and communication links of the same order of magnitude. This paper is based on models of the L1 Trigger architecture and shows the dynamics of the architecture's dataflow. The dataflow analysis provides insight into how system variables are affected by single component failures and provides key information to the implementation of error recovery strategies. The analysis includes both short-term failures from which the system can recover quickly and long-term failures which imply a more drastic error-recovery strategy. The modeling results are supported by behavioral simulations of the Li Trigger processing BTeV's (WANT Monte Carlo data.

This makes it convertible to a thermal neutron detector by covering it with a boron-rich material and detecting the 478-keV gamma rays resulting from the 10B(n, α)7Li* reaction. However, the 374 barn thermal capture cross section ofnat Hg, makes the detector itself an attractive absorber, and this has been exploited previously. Since previous work indicates that there are no low-energy gamma rays emitted in coincidence with the 368-keV capture gamma from the dominant 199Hg(n, γ)200Hg reaction, only the 368-keV capture gamma is seen with any efficiency with a relatively thin (few millimeter) detector. En this paper, we report measurements of neutrons via capture reactions in a bare mercuric iodide crystal and a crystal covered in 10B-loaded epoxy. The covered detector is an improvement over the bare detector because the presence of both the 478- and 368-keY gamma rays removes the ambiguity associated with the observation of only one of them. Pulse height spectra, obtained with and without lead and cadmium absorbers, showed the expected gamma rays and demonstrated that they were caused by neutrons.

The digital gamma finder (DGF-4C) a single-width CAMAC module produced by X-Ray Instrumentation Associates (XIA), was used to extract pulse height, pulse shape, and signal rise time information. Data analyses using the extracted information allowed measuring the μe and μeTe in selected CZT samples. An almost linear relationship was observed for the signal rise time as a function of the inverse bias. This observed linear relationship was the basis for determination of μe using a simple linear fit. The measured signal amplitude was also used to determine μeTe using the Hecht formulation. Repeated measurements confirmed the consistency of the method in determining μe and μeTe.

The technological advancement provided by submicron CMOS and BiCMOS processes is examined from several points of view. The noise performances are a fundamental issue in most detector applications and suitable attention is devoted to them for the purpose of judging whether or not the present processes supersede the solutions featuring a field-effect transistor as a front-end element. However, other considerations are also important in judging how well a monolithic technology suits the front-end design. Among them, the way a technology lends itself to the realization of additional functions, for instance, the charge reset in a charge-sensitive loop or the time-variant filters featuring the special weighting functions that may be requested in some applications of CdTe or CZT detectors.

Despite the improvements in detector active volume and spectral response that have been achieved with the coplanar-grid technique, the full potential of such detectors is still far from being realized. There exists a number of material, device, and electronics factors that limit detector performance and yield. Some of the major factors are identified and examined in terms of their origins and the magnitude of their effects on energy resolution.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/03/ VL - 429 IS - 6991 M3 - Article SP - 531 EP - 534 SN - 00280836 AB - In conventional superconductors, lattice vibrations (phonons) mediate the attraction between electrons that is responsible for superconductivity. The high transition temperatures (high-Tc) of the copper oxide superconductors has led to collective spin excitations being proposed as the mediating excitations in these materials. The mediating excitations must be strongly coupled to the conduction electrons, have energy greater than the pairing energy, and be present at Tc. The most obvious feature in the magnetic excitations of high-Tc superconductors such as YBa2Cu3O6+x is the so-called ‘resonance’. Although the resonance may be strongly coupled to the superconductivity, it is unlikely to be the main cause, because it has not been found in the La2-x(Ba,Sr)xCuO4 family and is not universally present in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (ref. 9). Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to characterize possible mediating excitations at higher energies in YBa2Cu3O6.6. We observe a square-shaped continuum of excitations peaked at incommensurate positions. These excitations have energies greater than the superconducting pairing energy, are present at Tc, and have spectral weight far exceeding that of the ‘resonance’. The discovery of similar excitations in La2-xBaxCuO4 (ref. 10) suggests that they are a general property of the copper oxides, and a candidate for mediating the electron pairing.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/03/ VL - 429 IS - 6991 M3 - Article SP - 534 EP - 538 SN - 00280836 AB - In the copper oxide parent compounds of the high-transition-temperature superconductors the valence electrons are localized-one per copper site-by strong intra-atomic Coulomb repulsion. A symptom of this localization is antiferromagnetism, where the spins of localized electrons alternate between up and down. Superconductivity appears when mobile ‘holes’ are doped into this insulating state, and it coexists with antiferromagnetic fluctuations. In one approach to describing the coexistence, the holes are believed to self-organize into ‘stripes’ that alternate with antiferromagnetic (insulating) regions within copper oxide planes, which would necessitate an unconventional mechanism of superconductivity. There is an apparent problem with this picture, however: measurements of magnetic excitations in superconducting YBa2Cu3O6+x near optimum doping are incompatible with the naive expectations for a material with stripes. Here we report neutron scattering measurements on stripe-ordered La1.875Ba0.125CuO4. We show that the measured excitations are, surprisingly, quite similar to those in YBa2Cu3O6+x (refs 9, 10) (that is, the predicted spectrum of magnetic excitations is wrong). We find instead that the observed spectrum can be understood within a stripe model by taking account of quantum excitations. Our results support the concept that stripe correlations are essential to high-transition-temperature superconductivity.

In the new approach, a dual anode is used to replace the single anode surrounded by a shielding grid, which are employed in a conventional design. Two anode wires are stretched near the axis of the 30 cm long cylindrical chamber with a 9 cm diameter cathode. Both the wires are kept at the same (nearly zero) potential and are dc-coupled to the charge-sensitive preamplifiers. For most cases, only one of the wires (it can be either one) collects the electrons produced by an ionizing event. The difference between the signals read out from the wires is proportional to the total produced charge. The experimental results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations. The optimal design of the dual-anode cylindrical ionization chamber is discussed.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 429 IS - 6992 M3 - Article SP - 638 EP - 642 SN - 00280836 AB - The standard model of particle physics contains parameters-such as particle masses-whose origins are still unknown and which cannot be predicted, but whose values are constrained through their interactions. In particular, the masses of the top quark (Mt) and W boson (MW) constrain the mass of the long-hypothesized, but thus far not observed, Higgs boson. A precise measurement of Mt can therefore indicate where to look for the Higgs, and indeed whether the hypothesis of a standard model Higgs is consistent with experimental data. As top quarks are produced in pairs and decay in only about 10-24?s into various final states, reconstructing their masses from their decay products is very challenging. Here we report a technique that extracts more information from each top-quark event and yields a greatly improved precision (of ± 5.3?GeV/c2) when compared to previous measurements. When our new result is combined with our published measurement in a complementary decay mode and with the only other measurements available, the new world average for Mt becomes 178.0 ± 4.3?GeV/c2. As a result, the most likely Higgs mass increases from the experimentally excluded value of 96 to 117?GeV/c2, which is beyond current experimental sensitivity. The upper limit on the Higgs mass at the 95% confidence level is raised from 219 to 251?GeV/c2.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 429 IS - 6992 M3 - Article SP - 642 EP - 646 SN - 00280836 AB - As a result of quantum-confinement effects, the emission colour of semiconductor nanocrystals can be modified dramatically by simply changing their size. Such spectral tunability, together with large photoluminescence quantum yields and high photostability, make nanocrystals attractive for use in a variety of light-emitting technologies-for example, displays, fluorescence tagging, solid-state lighting and lasers. An important limitation for such applications, however, is the difficulty of achieving electrical pumping, largely due to the presence of an insulating organic capping layer on the nanocrystals. Here, we describe an approach for indirect injection of electron-hole pairs (the electron-hole radiative recombination gives rise to light emission) into nanocrystals by non-contact, non-radiative energy transfer from a proximal quantum well that can in principle be pumped either electrically or optically. Our theoretical and experimental results indicate that this transfer is fast enough to compete with electron-hole recombination in the quantum well, and results in greater than 50 per cent energy-transfer efficiencies in the tested structures. Furthermore, the measured energy-transfer rates are sufficiently large to provide pumping in the stimulated emission regime, indicating the feasibility of nanocrystal-based optical amplifiers and lasers based on this approach.

This area has been used since the late 1940s to store high-level radioactive waste and other products of U fuel-rod processing. Using multiple-collector ICP source magnetic sector mass spectrometry, high-precision uranium isotopic analyses were conducted of samples of vadose zone contamination and of groundwater. The isotope ratios 236U/238U, 234U/238U, and 238U/235U are used to distinguish contaminant sources. On the basis of the isotopic data, the source of the groundwater contamination appears to be related to a 1951 overflow event at tank BX-102 that spilled high-level U waste into the vadose zone. The U isotopic variation of the groundwater plume is a result of mixing between contaminant U from this spill and natural background U. Vadose zone u contamination at tank B-110 likely predates the recorded tank leak and can be ruled out as a significant source of groundwater contamination, based on the U isotopic composition. The locus of vadose zone contamination is displaced from the initial locus of groundwater contamination, indicating that lateral migration in the vadose zone was at least 8 times greater than vertical migration. The time evolution of the groundwater plume suggests an average U migration rate of ∼0.7-0.8 m/day showing slight retardation relative to a groundwater flow of ∼1 m/day.

We compare plain M3EH-PPV devices to M3EH-PPV:CN-ether-PPV blend devices, demonstrating the improved performance of blends. We vary the polymer layer thickness and device electrodes for M3EH-PPV:CN-ether-PPV polymer blend devices to investigate the factors limited device efficiency. We find that although the blends allow exciton dissociation to take place throughout the polymer layer, these devices are still limited by transport properties rather than by light absorption. Our best blend device, made with indium-tin oxide and Ca electrodes, gives a power conversion efficiency ηp=1.0%.

Here we report the crystal structure of the five-protein clamp loader complex (replication factor-C, RFC) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, bound to the sliding clamp (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA). Tight interfacial coordination of the ATP analogue ATP-?S by RFC results in a spiral arrangement of the ATPase domains of the clamp loader above the PCNA ring. Placement of a model for primed DNA within the central hole of PCNA reveals a striking correspondence between the RFC spiral and the grooves of the DNA double helix. This model, in which the clamp loader complex locks onto primed DNA in a screw-cap-like arrangement, provides a simple explanation for the process by which the engagement of primer-template junctions by the RFC:PCNA complex results in ATP hydrolysis and release of the sliding clamp on DNA.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/17/ VL - 429 IS - 6993 M3 - Letter SP - 734 EP - 737 SN - 00280836 AB - Teleportation of a quantum state encompasses the complete transfer of information from one particle to another. The complete specification of the quantum state of a system generally requires an infinite amount of information, even for simple two-level systems (qubits). Moreover, the principles of quantum mechanics dictate that any measurement on a system immediately alters its state, while yielding at most one bit of information. The transfer of a state from one system to another (by performing measurements on the first and operations on the second) might therefore appear impossible. However, it has been shown that the entangling properties of quantum mechanics, in combination with classical communication, allow quantum-state teleportation to be performed. Teleportation using pairs of entangled photons has been demonstrated, but such techniques are probabilistic, requiring post-selection of measured photons. Here, we report deterministic quantum-state teleportation between a pair of trapped calcium ions. Following closely the original proposal, we create a highly entangled pair of ions and perform a complete Bell-state measurement involving one ion from this pair and a third source ion. State reconstruction conditioned on this measurement is then performed on the other half of the entangled pair. The measured fidelity is 75%, demonstrating unequivocally the quantum nature of the process.

Data from these sampling sites were characterized by one to three-day episodes with PM2.5 concentrations (constructed from the sum of the chemical components) exceeding 40.0 μg m-3. The episodes were dominated by high concentrations of ammonium sulfate. The fine particle concentrations were compared with meteorological data from surface weather maps and a Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT model), with back-trajectories estimated over 24 h. High PM2.5 concentrations were associated with transition from a high pressure to a low pressure regime in advance of an approaching frontal system indicating long-range transport of pollutants. In contrast, fine particulate organic material appeared to be dominated by nearby sources. Distinct differences were observed in the diurnal variations in concentration between the two sites. The NETL site showed clear maximum concentrations of semi-volatile organic material (SVOM) during midday, and minimum concentrations of nonvolatile organic compounds in the afternoon. In contrast, the Carnegie Mellon PAQS site showed an absence of diurnal variation in SVOM, but still with minimum concentrations of nonvolatile organic compounds in the afternoon and evening. Neither site showed significant diurnal variation in ammonium sulfate.

In this paper, photolysis rates of nitrogen dioxide were calculated using FAST-J and compared with measurements taken at two sites in the United States: Phoenix, Arizona, and Houston, Texas. The measurements were derived from either an actinic flux filter radiometer (Phoenix) or a spectroradiometer (Houston). A sun photometer sited nearby these radiometers provided irradiance measurements from which aerosol and cloud optical thicknesses were obtained. Aerosol single scattering albedo was not known, but was taken to be either 0.79 or 0.94, representative of either soot- or sulfate-like aerosols, respectively. These optical properties served as input to the FAST-J algorithm, which in turn was used to calculate photolysis rates. For both clear and cloudy sky cases, the modeled and measured photolysis rates agree within the uncertainties of the measurements for a single scattering albedo of 0.94. For a single scattering albedo of 0.79, the agreement is again within the uncertainty limits except for the cloudy sky case in Houston. The results suggest that the FAST-J code may be a practical algorithm for use in atmospheric chemical transport models that make repeated calls to photolysis rate subroutines.

The author relates that for years information security professionals have struggled to vault their information practices into positions of prominence and influence, ones that have strategic value to their organization. As staff within organizations tasked with achieving compliance studied the provisions of the Act, it became increasingly apparent that the adequacy of controls depends substantially on mainstream issues for security professionals. Hence, many chief information security officers who formerly had to use their very best personal and political skills to gain approval for addressing security-related concerns are finding their task easier. What this seems to indicate is that of all the tools in the proverbial arsenals, compliance rather than communicating risk-related concerns or trying to prove how security is an enabler may be the most effective approach.

The introduction of "Tradable Renewable Energy Credits" (TRECs) allows the green power attributes of energy to be sold or traded separately from the physical unit of energy. Since the green power certificate system removes potential locational and physical bottlenecks, both suppliers and consumers gain flexibility in the marketplace. The TREC is also an efficient tool to meet "Renewable Portfolio Standard" (RPS) required by different states in the US. This paper discusses the RPS requirements for different states and examines the implications of an integrated TREC market. It offers a competitive setting to the consumers to pay for renewable energy and a cost effective tool to support renewable energy generation [Grace and Wiser, 2002]. This paper also highlights some practical difficulties that should be addressed in order to establish an efficient integrated TREC market.

JO - Ecology JF - Ecology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 85 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1771 EP - 1789 SN - 00129658 AB - Metabolism provides a basis for using first principles of physics, chemistry, and biology to link the biology of individual organisms to the ecology of populations, communities, and ecosystems. Metabolic rate, the rate at which organisms take up, transform, and expend energy and materials, is the most fundamental biological rate. We have developed a quantitative theory for how metabolic rate varies with body size and temperature. Metabolic theory predicts how metabolic rate, by setting the rates of resource uptake from the environment and resource allocation to survival, growth, and reproduction, controls ecological processes at all levels of organization from individuals to the biosphere. Examples include: (1) life history attributes, including development rate, mortality rate, age at maturity, life span, and population growth rate; (2) population interactions, including carrying capacity, rates of competition and predation, and patterns of species diversity; and (3) ecosystem processes, including rates of biomass production and respiration and patterns of trophic dynamics. Data compiled from the ecological literature strongly support the theoretical predictions. Eventually, metabolic theory may provide a conceptual foundation for much of ecology, just as genetic theory provides a foundation for much of evolutionary biology.

The values of the allometric exponents for whole-organism metabolic rate and other biological rates and times are ultimately empirical questions. These questions have intrigued biologists for about 70 years. It is problematic to claim a definitive value based on analyses of existing data on mammalian and avian basal metabolic rates. The values of the allometric exponents for whole-organism metabolic rate and other biological rates and times are ultimately empirical questions.

We used uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of the basic reproductive number R0 to assess the role that model parameters play in outbreak control. The transmission rate and isolation effectiveness have the largest fractional effect on R0. We estimated the distribution of the reproductive number R0 under perfect isolation conditions. The distribution lies in the interquartile range 0.19-1.08, with a median of 0.49. Even though the median of R0 is <1, we found that 25% of our R0 distribution lies at R0 > 1, even with perfect isolation. This implies the need to simultaneously apply more than one method of control.

While not currently deployed at scale, CC and D, hydrogen energy systems, and biotechnology have the potential to be major components of the global energy system by the middle of the 21st century. Other technologies, such as renewables, nuclear power and energy efficiency also play critical roles in addressing climate change. The development of advanced technologies in the absence of limitations on the concentration of carbon dioxide need not lead to CO2 stabilization.

Behavior of the Second Generation Model, with respect to changes in carbon prices, can be summarized using marginal abatement cost curves. Marginal abatement costs vary over time, as capital stocks adjust to a new set of prices, and across countries, depending in part on the mix of fuels in the existing energy system. This paper documents the production structure in SGM, marginal abatement cost curves derived from SGM with constant-carbon-price experiments, an application to several Energy Modeling Forum scenarios, and a methodology for including carbon capture and disposal in SGM.

Dey and Mittra introduced a locally conformal method (D-FDTD) that has shown substantial gains in the accuracy of modeling arbitrary surfaces in the FDTD grid. A mesh generator for this purpose was reported by Yu and Mittra. In this paper, we present the formulation and validation of an alternative CAD-based mesh generator for D-FDTD that has improved capabilities for arbitrary three-dimensional (3-D) perfect electric conductor (PEC) geometries. This mesh generator is capable of importing AutoCad and ProE files of 3-D PEC scatterers and resonators. It can reduce the required FDTD grid resolution by up to 4:1 in each Cartesian direction in 3-D relative to conventional staircased FDTD models when modeling cavity resonances of complex PEC structures such as twisted waveguides.

The behavior of such a system for a given frequency is analyzed by studying the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the TRO. Each eigenvector specifies a set of complex driving currents for the array elements that produce received voltages that are proportional to the conjugates of the drive currents. The proportionality constant is equal to the square root of the associated eigenvalue and is the same for all elements. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be deter- mined by performing a singular value decomposition (SVD) on the multistatic data matrix of the array. The eigenvalues of the TRO are the squares of the singular values, and the eigenvectors are identical to the singular vectors. We have shown that the maximum number of singular vectors associated with the sphere is equal to the number of orthogonal orientations of the dipole moments induced in the sphere when irradiated by the array, so there is a maximum of six for a conducting sphere but only three are significant when the conductivity is small and the sphere may be considered being just a dielectric. Numerical results are presented for linear and circular arrays to show the general behavior of the system.

Present-day fuel cells have transient (dynamic) responses that are much slower than the responses of the typical power conditioner and load to which they are attached. This disparity has significant implications on the overall power system design. In particular, some form of energy storage with adequate quick charge/discharge capability is usually needed to provide firm power backup during electrical load increases. This paper describes an effort to improve the small-signal modeling of a Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell's dynamic behavior as an initial step toward prescribing internal design modifications and/or external controller designs to improve its transient behavior. Such improvements will allow for reduced energy storage while increasing the number of suitable storage technology options. Simulation results obtained from the proposed model are presented along with corresponding test results, which show generally good agreement with each other and indicate that this model is to be preferred to another one.

In a distributed memory computer, this redistribution can be difficult if limited memory is available for receiving messages. We propose a model for optimizing the exchange of messages under such circumstances which we call the minimum phase remapping problem. We first show that the problem is NP-Complete, and then analyze several methodologies for addressing it. First, we show how the problem can be phrased as an instance of multicommodity flow. Next, we study a continuous approximation to the problem. We show that this continuous approximation has a solution which requires at most two more phases than the optimal discrete solution, but the question of how to consistently obtain a good discrete solution from the continuous problem remains open. We also devise a simple and practical approximation algorithm for the problem with a bound of 1.5 times the optimal number of phases. We also present an empirical study of variations of our algorithms which indicate that our approaches are quite practical.

The primary objective is to gain mechanistic undersanding of solder joint reliability in microelectronic packaging. Bulk specimens were subjected to relatively fast deformations of tension, compression, and bending, for the purposes of examining the pure mechanical effect without the influence of diffusion-related phenomena. Grain realignment and phase redistribution were characterized by microscopy and microhardness indentation. A micromechanical model is proposed to elucidate the observed microstructural changes and progressive damage. This study illustrates the significance of damage in the form of microscopic heterogeneity caused by grain boundary sliding. It also illustrates the possibility of mechanically induced phase coarsening in actual solder joints. High-frequency cyclic shear tests on Sn-Pb solder joints showed damage along the coarsened band after only a short time, in accord with the proposed effects. Boundary sliding without the influence of atomic diffusion plays an essential role in fatigue damage in solder.

An anisotropic damage tensor with linear damage evolution law is chosen to model the cracking damage. An axisymmetric finite element model is generated to simulate the static indentation process. The damage pattern and zone size are predicted for both the loading cycle and the unloading cycle, and the comparison between the predictions and the experimental results reported in the open literature serves as a validation of the CDM model and the modeling procedure.

On the other hand, anthropogenic emissions in some areas of the world have been reduced very considerably during the last two decades (this is especially true for Europe). This fact shows clearly that the importance of biogenic emissions is increasing, because the ratio of biogenic emissions to total emissions, where the total emissions are equal to the sum of biogenic and anthropogenic emissions, is increasing. It is, therefore, necessary to study carefully the sensitivity of pollution levels to variations of biogenic emissions. A long series of runs with different scenarios, in which both biogenic and anthropogenic emissions were varied, has been performed. The influence of both types of emission on AOT40 values, which have damaging effects on corns when certain critical values are exceeded, was studied. The results show clearly that biogenic emissions must also be taken into account when control strategies are developed for reducing anthropogenic emissions in order either to reduce some high pollution levels to prescribed critical levels or to keep them below the critical levels.

It has been expanded to account for effects of high relative humidities. Adsorption capacity competition between water vapor and organic vapor is largely explained by mutual exclusion of adsorption volume of the activated carbon. The Dubinin/Radushkevich equation is used to describe the adsorption isotherms of both water and organic vapors. Effects of relative humidity and adsorbed water on adsorption rates are described by an empirical correlation with breakthrough times. The dynamic natures of adsorption and competition are incorporated using an expanding zone model with displaced water rollup.

At low frequencies the attenuation scales quadratically with the frequency and linearly with average grain size. In addition, there is a large difference in attenuation between powder metallurgy samples and cast-and-wrought samples, although their qualitative behaviors are similar both in terms of frequency dependence and grain size dependence. Such difference and the discrepancy with the existing theory may point to mechanisms of scattering by grain boundaries that are not included in the current theoretical model.

Landfill gas composition, respiration rates, and subsidence were measured for 400 days in 200-L tanks filled with fresh waste materials to compare the relative effectiveness of the two treatments. Tanks were prepared to provide the following conditions: (1) air injection and leachate recirculation (aerobic), (2) leachate recirculation (anaerobic), and (3) no treatment (anaerobic). Respiration tests on the aerobic wet tank showed a steady decrease in oxygen consumption rates from 1.3 mol/day at 20 days to 0.1 mol/day at 400 days. Aerobic wet tanks produced, on average, 6 mol of carbon dioxide (CO2)/kg of MSW as compared with anaerobic wet tanks, which produced 2.2 mol methane/ kg of MSW and 2.0 mol CO2/kg methane. Over the test period, the aerobic tanks settled on average 35%, anaerobic tanks settled 21.7%, and the no-treatment tank settled 7.5%, equivalent to overall mass loss in the corresponding reactors. Aerobic tanks reduced stabilization time and produced negligible odor compared with anaerobic tanks, possibly because of the 2 orders of magnitude lower leachate ammonia levels in the aerobic tank. Both treatment regimes provide the opportunity for disposal and remediation of liquid waste.

The coarse ecoregion divisions accurately capture intuitively-understood regional environmental differences, whereas the finer divisions highlight local condition gradients, ecotones, and clines. Such statistically generated ecoregions can be produced based on user-selected continuous variables, allowing customized regions to be delineated for any specific problem. By creating an objective ecoregion classification, the ecoregion concept is removed from the limitations of human subjectivity, making possible a new array of ecologically useful derivative products. A red–green–blue visualization based on principal components analysis of ecoregion centroids indicates with color the relative combination of environmental conditions found within each ecoregion. Multiple geographic areas can be classified into a single common set of quantitative ecoregions to provide a basis for comparison, or maps of a single area through time can be classified to portray climatic or environmental changes geographically in terms of current conditions. Quantified representativeness can characterize borders between ecoregions as gradual, sharp, or of changing character along their length. Similarity of any ecoregion to all other ecoregions can be quantified and displayed as a “representativeness” map. The representativeness of an existing spatial array of sample locations or study sites can be mapped relative to a set of quantitative ecoregions, suggesting locations for additional samples or sites. In addition, the shape of Hutchinsonian niches in environment space can be defined if a multivariate range map of species occurrence is available.

Theoretically, the execution time for such a calculation should grow only linearly with the number of spins, and this is confirmed here for up to order 105 spins. In addition, the implementation efficiently uses a large number of processors. For a test case of 64000 dipoles, the measured speedup is over 25 for 40 processors on a four-processor-per-node IBM SP; this compares quite favorably with less-flexible FMM implementations. The generic implementation allows for easy changes of the basis functions used to expand potentials specific to particular applications, facilitating direct comparison of different approaches. Here, the traditional spherical-harmonic expansions are compared to Cartesian expansions which reflect the cubic symmetries of meshes used in typical micromagnetic simulations.

The formalism relies on a Fourier space description of the particle shape, through the so-called shape amplitude, which can be used to obtain explicit expressions for the demagnetization tensor field, magnetic field, magnetic induction and magnetostatic energy of a particle for a given magnetization state. Moreover, the interaction energy between particles, located at arbitrary positions in space, which may have different shapes and magnetization states can also be computed. These results may contribute to a deeper understanding of magnetostatic coupling in nanostructures and of the role of shape anisotropy.

The uniaxial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant (Ku) and the activation volume (V*) are obtained by fitting the remanent coercivity as a function of the applied field waiting lime using the Sharrock's formula for oriented magnetic grain assembly. Ku increases with annealing temperature and annealing time, as a result of the enhanced chemical ordering in L10 phase FePt grains. V* tends to decrease with annealing time revealing the FePt grain separation process by the MgO matrix with annealing. By modifying the initial FePt/MgO multilayer structure and annealing condition, the optimized FePt-MgO film shows a high Ku and a small V* value.

The FePt forms a high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, high coercivity ferromagnetic layer. The FeRh layer is antiferromagnetic at room temperature, but upon heating above a transition temperature becomes ferromagnetic with a large magnetic moment and low magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The coupled ferromagnetic FePt and FeRh layers form an exchange-spring system significantly lowering the coercive field of the composite system compared to a single layer of FePt. This feature opens intriguing possibilities for media applications for thermally assisted magnetic recording where the ferromagnetic phase of FeRh is exploited to help write the media while the low-temperature antiferromagnetic phase supports the long-term stability. Here temperature-dependent structural and magnetic measurements of undoped and doped FeRh single layer and FePt-FeRh bilayer films are presented and the promises and challenges of the exchange spring media structure are discussed.

An exchange bias is observed in hysteresis loops of both ferrite coatings and single splats; the exchange bias decreases and disappears with annealing. X-ray diffraction indicates that the wustite FeO changes to hematite Fe2 O3 upon annealing. Annealing -induced cation ordering and diffusion influence the ferrite magnetic properties by increasing the saturation magnetization and decreasing the coercivity.

This is achieved by combining the inherent element specificity of resonance scattering with the symmetry properties of the crystal, which results in enhanced/suppressed scattering amplitudes from certain lattice sites under particular diffraction. conditions. We used this method to measure the magnetic response of inequivalent Nd sites in Nd2 Fe14B single crystal (4f and 4g sites in Wyckoff notation) through the crystal's magnetization reversal at room temperature and through the spin reorientation transition at lower temperatures. This approach might prove very valuable in studies of magnetocrystalllne anisotropy in complex materials with multiple elements and crystal sites.

Threesdimensional atom probe (3DAP) analyses on the Nb substituted alloys clearly reveal that Nb atoms are enriched at grain boundaries with a peak concentration about 4 times higher than the average for Nd2Fe14B rains. A grain boundary region with a chemicil composition near the Nb : Fe: B stolchionietry of 3:3:5 is also measured for the x = 3 alloy. The results provide direct evidence of microstructural refinement due to solute drag of Nb atoms during solidification, resulting in Nb enrichment at grain boundaries and possibly the formation of a Nh-rich. interfacial phase which give rise to enhanced magnetic properties.

As-spun ribbons with low Nd content consist of 2:17 and 2:14:1 phases in an amorphous matrix, while as-spun ribbons with high Nd contain 2:14:1 and Fe phases in the amorphous matrix. After annealing at 700 °C for 15 mm, all of the ribbons exhibit only a single 2:14:1 phase in their X-ray diffraction patterns. Nd substitution can improve the maximum energy product of annealed ribbons but deteriorate the temperature stability of the ribbons. Increasing Nd (x) from 0 to 0.8, decreases coercivity from 22 to 13.5 kOe, but increases the maximum energy product from 5.87 to 11.2 MGOe. The temperature coefficients for remanence and coercivity increase from -0.045 °C to -0.106 %/°C, and -0.306 to -0.38 %/°C, respectively for the same substitution range. Transmission electron microscope microstructures show that the samples with less Nd content exhibit a more uniform distribution of grains. Their average grain size is about 40 nm. The studied results show that the YDy-based R2Fe14B magnets are very promising for high-temperature performance.

Alloys of (Sm(1/(6+x)Co(5+x))94Nb3C3 (x = 0.67, 1.7, 2.3 and 3) alloys modified with Nb and C were melt spun at wheel speeds of 20 and 40 m/s, and the compositions span the range between the Sm2Co17 and SmCo5 stoichiometries. Structurally, all alloys formed in the TbCu7-type structure, although a small amount of Sm2Co7 was observed in Sm-rich samples, and a small amount of fcc Co formed in Co-rich samples. From transmission electron microscopy analysis, grain sizes typically ranged from 100 to 500 nm, and the grains were randomly oriented. The as-spun ribbons had remanence ratios of 0.7 and coercivity values ranging from 3 to 18 kOe. The initial magnetization curves showed a steep linear response to the applied field for all samples, suggesting that nucleation-controlled processes dominate the magnetization process. In addition, the initial susceptibility decreased with increasing Sm content, reflecting the anisotropy differences between SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 compounds. The initial susceptibility also increased with increasing wheel speed, suggesting that the microstructure has important ramifications on the magnetization process as well.

For high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) superconductors, it is far from clear that phonons are involved in the pairing at all. For example, the negligible change in Tc of optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi2212; ref. 1) upon oxygen isotope substitution (16O ? 18O leads to Tc decreasing from 92 to 91?K) has often been taken to mean that phonons play an insignificant role in this material. Here we provide a detailed comparison of the electron dynamics of Bi2212 samples containing different oxygen isotopes, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our data show definite and strong isotope effects. Surprisingly, the effects mainly appear in broad high-energy humps, commonly referred to as ‘incoherent peaks’. As a function of temperature and electron momentum, the magnitude of the isotope effect closely correlates with the superconducting gap-that is, the pair binding energy. We suggest that these results can be explained in a dynamic spin-Peierls picture, where the singlet pairing of electrons and the electron-lattice coupling mutually enhance each other.

Further scientific and technological advances should be achievable if these colloidal quantum systems could be electronically coupled in a general way. For example, this was the case when it became possible to couple solid-state embedded quantum dots into quantum dot molecules. Similarly, the preparation of nanowires with linear alternating compositions-another form of coupled quantum dots-has led to the rapid development of single-nanowire light-emitting diodes and single-electron transistors. Current strategies to connect colloidal quantum dots use organic coupling agents, which suffer from limited control over coupling parameters and over the geometry and complexity of assemblies. Here we demonstrate a general approach for fabricating inorganically coupled colloidal quantum dots and rods, connected epitaxially at branched and linear junctions within single nanocrystals. We achieve control over branching and composition throughout the growth of nanocrystal heterostructures to independently tune the properties of each component and the nature of their interactions. Distinct dots and rods are coupled through potential barriers of tuneable height and width, and arranged in three-dimensional space at well-defined angles and distances. Such control allows investigation of potential applications ranging from quantum information processing to artificial photosynthesis.

Tissues and cell types within tissues appear to vary in both DNA damage susceptibilities and cancer incidences, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to characterize the baseline transcription profiles of selected genes involved in DNA damage recognition and repair processes among several tissues of healthy adult B6C3F1 mice (testis, brain, liver, spleen and heart), which are routinely used by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) to conduct long-term chemical carcinogenicity studies. Stress response, damage control and DNA repair-associated genes were differentially expressed among the tissues examined. Overall, stress response genes exhibited the greatest variation among tissues with the highest expression in liver and heart while DNA repair genes exhibited the least variation. Damage control genes associated with cell cycle regulation and DNA repair genes generally had the highest expression in testis. The expression levels of several genes were rank correlated with the spontaneous cancer incidences among these tissues. Variations in basal expression of DNA damage recognition and repair-associated genes among healthy tissues may contribute to their differential response to genotoxic agents and susceptibility to genetic disease.

This paper describes a standardized multiproject methodology for setting baselines, represented by the emissions rate (kg C/kWh), for electric power projects. A standardized methodology would reduce the transaction costs of projects. The most challenging aspect of setting multiproject emissions rates is determining the vintage and types of plants to include in the baseline and the stringency of the emissions rates to be considered, in order to balance the desire to encourage no- or low-carbon projects while maintaining environmental integrity. The criteria for selecting power plants to include in the baseline depend on characteristics of both the project and the electricity grid it serves. Two case studies illustrate the application of these concepts to the electric power grids in eastern India and South Africa. We use hypothetical, but realistic, climate change projects in each country to illustrate the use of the multiproject methodology, and note the further research required to fully understand the implications of the various choices in constructing and using these baselines.

Spatial patterns of hydraulic conductivity may play a role because of both advection and diffusion through isolated low conductivity areas. We demonstrated such processes in laboratory experiments designed to visualize solute transport through a thin chamber (40 cm × 20 cm × 0.64 cm thick) packed with glass beads and containing circular emplacements of smaller glass beads with lower conductivity. The experiments used three different contrasts of conductivity between the large-bead matrix and the emplacements, targeting three different regimes of solute transport: low contrast, targeting macrodispersion; intermediate contrast, targeting advection-dominated mass transfer between the high-conductivity regions and the emplacements; and high contrast, targeting diffusion-dominated mass transfer. Use of a strong light source, a high-resolution CCD camera, and a colorimetric dye produced images with a spatial resolution of about 400 μm and a concentration range of approximately 2 orders of magnitude. These images confirm the existence of the three different regimes, and we observed tailing driven by both advection and diffusion. Outflow concentration measured by spectrophotometer achieved 3 orders of magnitude in concentration range and showed good agreement with known models in the case of dispersion and diffusive mass transfer, with estimated parameters close to a priori predictions. Existing models for diffusive mass transfer did not fit the breakthrough curves from the intermediate-contrast chamber, but a model of slow advection through cylinders did. Thus, both breakthrough curves and chamber images confirm that different contrasts in small-scale K lead to different regimes of solute transport and thus require different models of upscaled soulte transport.

Rate constants for the reaction of MTBE with the hydroxyl radical, hydrated electron, and hydrogen atom were determined in aqueous solution at room temperature, using electron pulse radiolysis and absorption spectroscopy (•OH and e-aq) and EPR free induction decay attenuation (•H)measurements. The rate constant for hydroxyl radical reaction of (1.71 ± 0.02) × 109 M-1 s-1 showed that the oxidative process was the dominant pathway, relative to MTBE reaction with hydrogen atoms, (3.49 ± 0.06) × 106 M-1 s-1, or hydrated electrons, < 8.0 × 106 M-1 s-1. The hydroxyl radical reaction gives a transient carbon-centered radical which subsequently reacts with dissolved oxygen to form peroxyl radicals, the rate constant for this reaction was (2.17 ± 0.06) × 109 M-1 s-1. The second-order decay of the MTBE peroxyl radical was 2k = (6.0 ± 0.3) × 108 M-1 s-1. These rate constants, along with preliminary MTBE degradation product distribution measurements, were incorporated into a kinetic model that compared the predicted MTBE removal from water against experimental measurements performed under large-scale electron beam treatment conditions.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/07/15/ VL - 430 IS - 6997 M3 - Article SP - 332 EP - 335 SN - 00280836 AB - Bulk metallic glasses are commonly produced by the rapid cooling of liquid alloys. They have emerged over the past decade as a novel class of materials, with attractive properties and technological promise. The bulk metallic glasses so far produced contain three or more component elements. These complex compositions are necessary to frustrate the crystallization of the liquid melt on cooling, but can also lead to phase separation, which is detrimental to the thermal and mechanical properties of metallic glasses. Here we report, using X-ray diffraction measurements, the formation of a bulk metallic glass from elemental zirconium at high static pressures and low temperatures (relative to its melting temperature at atmospheric pressure). Amorphous zirconium can be recovered at ambient conditions and demonstrates a superior thermal stability compared to amorphous alloys, which could lead to new high-temperature applications of amorphous metals.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/07/15/ VL - 430 IS - 6997 M3 - Letter SP - 368 EP - 371 SN - 00280836 AB - Morphogen gradients contribute to pattern formation by determining positional information in morphogenetic fields. Interpretation of positional information is thought to rely on direct, concentration-threshold-dependent mechanisms for establishing multiple differential domains of target gene expression. In Drosophila, maternal gradients establish the initial position of boundaries for zygotic gap gene expression, which in turn convey positional information to pair-rule and segment-polarity genes, the latter forming a segmental pre-pattern by the onset of gastrulation. Here we report, on the basis of quantitative gene expression data, substantial anterior shifts in the position of gap domains after their initial establishment. Using a data-driven mathematical modelling approach, we show that these shifts are based on a regulatory mechanism that relies on asymmetric gap-gap cross-repression and does not require the diffusion of gap proteins. Our analysis implies that the threshold-dependent interpretation of maternal morphogen concentration is not sufficient to determine shifting gap domain boundary positions, and suggests that establishing and interpreting positional information are not independent processes in the Drosophila blastoderm.

The oceanic sink accounts for ∼48% of the total fossil-fuel and cement-manufacturing emissions, implying that the terrestrial biosphere was a net source of CO[sub 2] to the atmosphere of about 39 ± 28 petagrams of carbon for this period. The current fraction of total anthropogenic CO[sub 2] emissions stored in the ocean appears to be about one-third of the long-term potential.

Although there was remarkable correspondence between antigenic and genetic evolution, significant differences were observed: Antigenic evolution was more punctuated than genetic evolution, and genetic change sometimes had a disproportionately large antigenic effect. The method readily allows monitoring of antigenic differences among vaccine and circulating strains and thus estimation of the effects of vaccination. Further, this approach offers a route to predicting the relative success of emerging strains, which could be achieved by quantifying the combined effects of population level immune escape and viral fitness on strain evolution.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/07/22/ VL - 430 IS - 6998 M3 - Article SP - 435 EP - 439 SN - 00280836 AB - The ability to manipulate and monitor a single-electron spin using electron spin resonance is a long-sought goal. Such control would be invaluable for nanoscopic spin electronics, quantum information processing using individual electron spin qubits and magnetic resonance imaging of single molecules. There have been several examples of magnetic resonance detection of a single-electron spin in solids. Spin resonance of a nitrogen-vacancy defect centre in diamond has been detected optically, and spin precession of a localized electron spin on a surface was detected using scanning tunnelling microscopy. Spins in semiconductors are particularly attractive for study because of their very long decoherence times. Here we demonstrate electrical sensing of the magnetic resonance spin-flips of a single electron paramagnetic spin centre, formed by a defect in the gate oxide of a standard silicon transistor. The spin orientation is converted to electric charge, which we measure as a change in the source/drain channel current. Our set-up may facilitate the direct study of the physics of spin decoherence, and has the practical advantage of being composed of test transistors in a conventional, commercial, silicon integrated circuit. It is well known from the rich literature of magnetic resonance studies that there sometimes exist structural paramagnetic defects near the Si/SiO2 interface. For a small transistor, there might be only one isolated trap state that is within a tunnelling distance of the channel, and that has a charging energy close to the Fermi level.

Measured in samples from bedrock fluvial terraces, 10-beryllium shows that both the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers incised 10- to 20-meter-deep gorges along steep, convex lower reaches during the last glacial cycle. This short-lived pulse of unusually rapid downcutting ended by 13,000 to 14,000 years ago. The timing and rate of downcutting are similar on the glaciated Susquehanna and unglaciated Potomac Rivers, indicating that regional changes, not simply glacial meltwater, initiated incision.

These background samples are collected from five river stations and four reservoirs located throughout northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Analyses include 3H, 90Sr, 137Cs, total U, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, 241Am, gross alpha, gross beta, and gross gamma radioactivity. Surprisingly, there are no federal or state regulatory standards in the USA that specify how to compute background radioactivity values on sediments. Hence, the sample median (or 0.50 quantile) is proposed for this background because it reflects central data tendency and is distribution-free. Estimates for the upper limit of background radioactivity on river and reservoir sediments are made for sampled analytes using the 0.95 quantile (two-tail). These analyses also show that seven of ten analytes from reservoir sediments are normally distributed, or are normally distributed after a logarithmic or square root transformation. However, only three of ten analytes from river sediments are similarly distributed. In addition, isotope ratios for 137Cs/238Pu, 137Cs/239,240Pu, and 239,240Pu/238Pu from reservoir sediments are independent of clay content, total organic carbon/specific surface area (TOC/SSA) and cation exchange capacity/specific surface area (CEC/SSA) ratios. These TOC/SSA and CEC/SSA ratios reflect sediment organic carbon and surface charge densities that are associated with radionuclide absorption, adsorption, and ion exchange reactions on clay mineral structures. These latter ratio values greatly exceed the availability of background radionuclides in the environment, and insure that measured background levels are a maximum. Since finer-grained reservoir sediments contain larger clay-sized fractions compared to coarser river sediments, they show higher background levels for most analytes. Furthermore, radioactivity values on reservoir sediments have remained relatively constant since the early 1980s. These results suggest that clay contents in terrestrial sediments are often more important at concentrating background radionuclides than many other environmental factors, including geology, climate and vegetation. Hence, reservoirs and floodplains represent ideal radionuclide sampling locations because fine-grained materials are more easily trapped here. Ultimately, most of these differences still reflect spatial and temporal variability originating from global atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and disintegration of nuclear-powered satellites upon atmospheric reentry.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/07/29/ VL - 430 IS - 6999 M3 - Article SP - 539 EP - 541 SN - 00280836 AB - Since the discovery of superconductivity at elevated temperatures in the copper oxide materials there has been a considerable effort to find universal trends and correlations amongst physical quantities, as a clue to the origin of the superconductivity. One of the earliest patterns that emerged was the linear scaling of the superfluid density (?s) with the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), which marks the onset of phase coherence. This is referred to as the Uemura relation, and it works reasonably well for the underdoped materials. It does not, however, describe optimally doped (where Tc is a maximum) or overdoped materials. Similarly, an attempt to scale the superfluid density with the d.c. conductivity (sdc) was only partially successful. Here we report a simple scaling relation (?s?sdcTc, with sdc measured at approximately Tc) that holds for all tested high-Tc materials. It holds regardless of doping level, nature of dopant (electrons versus holes), crystal structure and type of disorder, and direction (parallel or perpendicular to the copper-oxygen planes).

We report in situ dynamic transmission electron microscope observations of nanocrystalline nickel films with an average grain size of about 10 nanometers, which show that grain boundary-mediated processes have become a prominent deformation mode. Additionally, trapped lattice dislocations are observed in individual grains following deformation. This change in the deformation mode arises from the grain size-dependent competition between the deformation controlled by nucleation and motion of dislocations and the deformation controlled by diffusion-assisted grain boundary processes.

This article describes my evolving views as I developed and taught introductory university courses on experimental design, organized around and stimulated by three different texts and three different universities. Primarily, I found it to be essential, particularly at the course's beginning, to embed textbook examples in credible scientific or business contexts in order to try to convince students of the value of statistical experimental design and analysis in their subsequent careers. In contrast, uninteresting, even nonsensical, undeveloped examples that serve only as formula drill give students the opposite impression. My purpose in this article is to present selected expanded textbook examples and to use these illustrations to examine fundamental issues in experimental design such as: the importance of subject-matter, the choice of experimental units, the nature and purpose of blocking, and the contrast between random sampling and random assignment of treatments. These examples expose fundamental issues in how our profession functions in a collaborative environment and how we prepare the next generation of statisticians and statistically savvy professionals. My hope is that the illustrations provided will be directly useful to beginning instructors and provocative to the experienced.

AB - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients commonly have attention and concentration problems. However, it remains unclear how HIV infection affects the attention network. Therefore, blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) was performed in 36 subjects (18 HIV and 18 seronegative [SN] controls) during a set of visual attention tasks with increasing levels of attentional load. Compared with SN controls, HIV subjects showed similar task performance (accuracies and reaction times) but decreased activation in the normal visual attention network (dorsal parietal, bilateral prefrontal, and cerebellar regions) and increased activation in adjacent or contralateral brain regions. Cognitive performance (assessed with NPZ-8), CD4, and viral load all correlated with activated BOLD signals in brain regions that activated more in HIV subjects. Furthermore, HIV subjects activated more than SN controls in brain regions that showed load-dependent increase in activation (right prefrontal and right parietal regions) but less in regions that showed a saturation effect with increasing load. These findings suggest that HIV-associated brain injury leads to reduced efficiency in the normal attention network, thus requiring reorganization and increased usage of neural reserves to maintain performance during attention-requiring tasks. Exceeding the brain reserve capacity may lead to attention deficits and cognitive impairment in HIV patients.

SN - 15317331 AB - Nanofluids, consisting of nanometer-sized solid particles and fibers dispersed in liquids, have recently been demonstrated to have great potential for improving the heat transfer properties of liquids. Several characteristic behaviors of nanofluids have been identified, including the possibility of obtaining large increases in thermal conductivity compared with liquids without nanoparticles, strong temperature-dependent effects, and significant increases in critical heat flux. Observed behavior is in many cases anomalous with respect to the predictions of existing macroscopic theories, indicating the need for a new theory that properly accounts for the unique features of nanofluids. Theoretical studies of the possible heat transfer mechanisms have been initiated, but to date obtaining an atomic- and microscale-level understanding of how heat is transferred in nanofluids remains the greatest challenge that must be overcome in order to realize the full potential of this new class of heat transfer fluids.

In this review we discuss application of modeling and simulation in the developing field of biomaterials. To restrict the discussion somewhat, we focus primarily on the structure and properties of biomaterials and do not discuss biochemical or biomedical applications. We start with a discussion of how atomistic-level simulation can be used to study molecules and collections of molecules. We then focus on mesoscale simulations of structure and properties, followed by a brief review of continuum-scale approaches. We end with some thoughts on the future of modeling and simulation in biomaterials applications.

These programs contain code features that cause the cost function to be discontinuous. Optimization algorithms that require smoothness can fail on such problems. Evaluating the cost function is often so time-consuming that stochastic optimization algorithms are run using only a few simulations, which decreases the probability of getting close to a minimum. To show how applicable direct search, stochastic, and gradient-based optimization algorithms are for solving such optimization problems, we compare the performance of these algorithms in minimizing cost functions with different smoothness. We also explain what causes the large discontinuities in the cost functions.

The strategies include ventilation driven by different combinations of wind, internal stack and external stack. The simulation results indicate that wind-driven ventilation can maintain adequate comfort even during hot periods. Computational fluid dynamics was used to study the airflow and temperature distribution in the occupied spaces arising from different combinations of window openings and outside conditions and thereby inform both the design of the windows and the control strategy.

SN - 01436244 AB - The design for the new Federal Building for San Francisco includes an office tower that is to be naturally ventilated. Each floor is designed to be cross ventilated, through upper windows that are controlled by the building management system. Users have control over lower level windows, which can be as much as 50'/ of the total openable area. There are significant differences in the performance and the control of the windward and leeward sides of the building, and separate monitoring and control strategies are determined for each side. The performance and control of the building has been designed and tested using a modified version of EnergyPlus. Results from studies with EnergyPlus and computational fluid dynamics are used in designing the control strategy. Wind driven cross-ventilation produces a main jet through the upper openings of the building, across the ceiling from the windward to the leeward side. Below this jet, the occupied regions are subject to a recirculating airflow. Results show that temperatures within the building are predicted to be satisfactory, provided a suitable control strategy is implemented that uses night cooling in periods of hot weather. The control strategy has 10 window opening modes. EnergyPlus was extended to simulate the effects of these modes, and to assess the effects of different forms of user behaviour. The results show how user behaviour can significantly influence the building performance.

The impact includes economic effects as well as effects not readily quantifiable in dollar values. The impact profile indicates a positive outcome. An extremely broad range of cost-benefit ratios was found when two valid, yet different, sets of assumptions were used. The technology and health indicators demonstrate constructive contributions for this transfer of plasma spray technology.

Although weapons-grade nuclear materials are heavily guarded, a plausible scenario involves terrorists detonating a simple radiological dispersion device (RDD) capable of broadcasting nonfissle but highly radioactive particles over a densely populated area. The Distributed Sensor Network project at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in cooperation with the University of New Mexico, is developing a network of radiation detectors that, coupled with other sensors that collect supportive data, is suitable for RDD interdiction in either urban or rural environments.

However, along with increasing efficiency and productivity, both at home and in the workplace, networks have costs. One cost is the additional energy that electronic devices consume they attach to networks. The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, on open industry specification jointly developed by Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix and Toshiba, defines standard power management interfaces for modern personal computers. Three key drivers of energy use are induced consumption by devices, increasing link data rates that consume more energy for network interfaces and network-connected displays that actively update and display data.

JO - Ecological Monographs JF - Ecological Monographs Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 74 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 443 EP - 489 SN - 00129615 AB - Models represent our primary method for integration of small-scale, process-level phenomena into a comprehensive description of forest-stand or ecosystem function. They also represent a key method for testing hypotheses about the response of forest ecosystems to multiple changing environmental conditions. This paper describes the evaluation of 13 stand-level models varying in their spatial, mechanistic, and temporal complexity for their ability to capture intra- and interannual components of the water and carbon cycle for an upland, oak-dominated forest of eastern Tennessee. Comparisons between model simulations and observations were conducted for hourly, daily, and annual time steps. Data for the comparisons were obtained from a wide range of methods including: eddy covariance, sapflow, chamber-based soil respiration, biometric estimates of stand-level net primary production and growth, and soil water content by time or frequency domain reflectometry. Response surfaces of carbon and water flux as a function of environmental drivers, and a variety of goodness-of-fit statistics (bias, absolute bias, and model efficiency) were used to judge model performance. A single model did not consistently perform the best at all time steps or for all variables considered. Intermodel comparisons showed good agreement for water cycle fluxes, but considerable disagreement among models for predicted carbon fluxes. The mean of all model outputs, however, was nearly always the best fit to the observations. Not surprisingly, models missing key forest components or processes, such as roots or modeled soil water content, were unable to provide accurate predictions of ecosystem responses to short-term drought phenomenon. Nevertheless, an inability to correctly capture short-term physiological processes under drought was not necessarily an indicator of poor annual water and carbon budget simulations. This is possible because droughts in the subject ecosystem were of short duration and therefore had a small cumulative impact. Models using hourly time steps and detailed mechanistic processes, and having a realistic spatial representation of the forest ecosystem provided the best predictions of observed data. Predictive ability of all models deteriorated under drought conditions, suggesting that further work is needed to evaluate and improve ecosystem model performance under unusual conditions, such as drought, that are a common focus of environmental change discussions.

The operation consisted of drilling-out wellbore scale followed by acid dissolution of scale formed in the near-wellbore formation. The workover increased the injection capacity of the well to near its initial-use capacity. Scale-volume estimates from brine chemistry, and from stoichiometric amounts of silica dissolved during the acidizing, suggested that the decrease in injectivity was largely due to scale deposition in the near-well formation. Reactive transport modeling was used to simulate mineral deposition and injectivity loss. A porosity–permeability relationship was calibrated using observed injection indexes to reproduce the loss of injectivity. The relationship captured very well the steep loss of injectivity, and the simulated amounts of precipitated amorphous silica were consistent with the estimated amounts from field data. Significant precipitation of amorphous silica, and reductions in porosity and permeability, were predicted to occur mainly within a 10 m radius from the well. Injectivity recovery by acid injection was also simulated, and the predicted amount of amorphous silica dissolved by acid was consistent with the estimated amount.

Previous studies of the Yellowstone geothermal system have characterized water–rock interaction through analysis of rocks and fluids obtained from both surface and downhole samples. Fluid chemistry, rock mineralogy, permeability, porosity, and thermal data obtained from the Y-8 borehole in Upper Geyser Basin were used to constrain a series of reactive transport simulations of the Yellowstone geothermal system using TOUGHREACT. Three distinct stratigraphic units were encountered in the 153.4 m deep Y-8 drill core: volcaniclastic sandstone, perlitic rhyolitic lava, and nonwelded pumiceous tuff. The main alteration phases identified in the Y-8 core samples include clay minerals, zeolites, silica polymorphs, adularia, and calcite. Temperatures observed in the Y-8 borehole increase with depth from sub-boiling conditions at the surface to a maximum of 169.8 °C at a depth of 104.1 m, with near-isothermal conditions persisting down to the well bottom. 1-D models of the Y-8 core hole were constructed to simulate the observed alteration mineral assemblage given the initial rock mineralogy and observed fluid chemistry and temperatures. Preliminary simulations involving the perlitic rhyolitic lava unit are consistent with the observed alteration of rhyolitic glass to form celadonite.

Modern techniques can detect noble gases to relatively low concentrations and with great precision. These factors suggest that noble gases can be useful tracers for subsurface characterization. Their applications, however, require an appropriate transport model for data analyses. A new fluid property module, EOSN, was developed for TOUGH2 to simulate transport of noble gases in the subsurface. Currently any of five different noble gases (except radon) as well as CO2 can be selected, two at a time. For the two selected gas components, the Crovetto et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 76 (1982) 1077–1086] model is used to calculate the Henry’s law coefficients; and the Reid et al. [The Properties of Gases and Liquids, McGraw-Hill, New York (1987)] correlation is used to calculate the gas phase diffusivities. Like most other sister modules, TOUGH2/EOSN can simulate non-isothermal multiphase flow and fully coupled transport in fractured porous media. Potential applications of the new module include, but are not limited to: (a) study of different reservoir processes such as recharge, boiling, condensation, and fracture-matrix fluid exchange; (b) characterization of reservoir geometry such as fracture spacing; and (c) analysis of CO2 sequestration.

After the last eruptive event (the Monte Nuovo eruption in 1538), periodic episodes of unrest have characterized the evolution of this volcanic district, involving seismic activity and slow ground motion (bradyseism). During these episodes of unrest, some remarkable changes have also affected the composition of the hydrothermal fluids discharged at La Solfatara fumarolic field. These unrest phenomena result from the complex interaction between magma chamber, hydrothermal fluid circulation, and country rocks undergoing thermal and mechanical stresses. In order to make an effective hazard assessment in such a densely populated area as the Phlegrean Fields, we must first reach a better understanding of the mechanism driving bradyseismic activity and determine the relation between ground deformation and hydrothermal fluid circulation. In this work, we present some results of numerical modeling of both the hydrothermal fluid circulation at La Solfatara, and of its effects on rock deformation. The modeling results show that periods of intensified magmatic degassing can explain many features of the recent crises of unrest at Phlegrean Fields.

In particular, limitations to ≳ 100 GHz modulation response, which approaches the carrier-phonon scattering rate, are analyzed. It is found that plasma heating leads to a dynamic carrier population bottleneck, which limits scaling of modulation bandwidth. An optical injection scheme is proposed to verify this phenomenon experimentally.

In particular, we present a symplectic algorithm for the integration of the coupled first-order Maxwell equations for computing the time dependent electric and magnetic fields. Symplectic methods have the benefit of conserving total electromagnetic field energy and are, therefore, preferred over dissipative methods (such as traditional Run ge-Kutta) in applications that require high-accuracy and energy conservation over long periods of time integration. We show that in the context of symplectic methods, several popular schemes can be elegantly cast in a single algorithm. We conclude with some numerical examples which demonstrate the superior performance of high-order time integration methods.

It has a similar structure to a well-known formula for the field outside any spherically symmetric conductivity profile. For a radial dipole, the field on the inside has a very simple expression. A symmetry argument is given as to why the field of a radial dipole vanishes outside a spherical conductor. Illustrative plots of the magnetic field are presented for a radial and a tangential dipole; the slope of the tangential component of the magnetic field is discontinuous at the surface of the sphere. A spherical conductor having three concentric regions is discussed; and we also derive an analytic formula for the magnetic field inside a homogeneous infinite half space.

A prototype system that can use trained insects such as moths to detect explosives was designed, assembled, and tested. It compares the electromyographic signals of insects trained to respond or not respond to a target explosive vapor in order to determine whether or not explosive devices, such as bombs or landmines, are present. The device was designed to be portable by making it lightweight, battery-powered, and energy efficient. The prototype performed successfully during testing.

It is composed of a can and a single-ended, dual-stage gas electron multiplier, with associated anode plane pixellated into about 8000 pads. The front-end electronics must provide energy, timing, and address information from those pads involved in measuring each track. For center of gravity determination this information must be sampled from the above-threshold pad and from the two adjacent ones. An efficient scheme for readout of the ≈8000 front-end channels between each measurement cycle is also required. A 32-channel front-end application-specific integrated circuit has been developed to serve this detector. Fabricated in 0.25 μm CMOS technology, it dissipates 41 mW. Each channel implements a low noise charge preamplifier with continuous reset of new concept, shaping amplifier with band gap referenced baseline sta- bilizer, single threshold discriminator, dual-phase peak detector, timing detector, and logic for neighbor enabling. The readout process is based on token passing and flag.

The application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is realized in a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor 0.18 pm technology and is composed of 32 channels of charge sensitive preamplifier, third-order semi-Gaussian bipolar shaper, timing discriminator with independent channel adjustable threshold, and a 32-line address serial encoder to minimize the number of interconnections between the camera and the data acquisition system. Each chip has a maximum power dissipation of 125 mW. A mathematical model of the timing resolution as a function of the noise and slope at the discrimination point as well as the photoelectron statistics was developed and validated. So far, three ASIC prototypes implementing part of the electronics were sent to fabrication. Results from the characterization of the first two prototypes are presented and discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/08//Aug2004 Part 1 of 2 VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1358 EP - 1364 SN - 00189499 AB - A new front-end chip (FE-I2) has been developed for the ATLAS pixel detector at the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator facility of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). This chip has been submitted in a commercial 0.25-μm CMOS process using special layout techniques for radiation tolerance. It comprises 2880 pixels arranged into 18 columns of 160 channels. Each pixel element of dimension 50 μm x 400 μm is composed of a charge-sensitive amplifier followed by a fast discriminator with a detection threshold adjustable within a range of 0-6000 electrons and slow control logic incorporating a wired-hit-Or, preamplifier-kill, readout mask, and automatic threshold tuning circuitry. There are two single-event-upset (SEU)-tolerant DACs for reducing threshold (7-b) and recovery-time (3-b) mismatches from pixel to pixel along with digital hit emulation and a differential readout circuit aimed at transporting time-stamped data from each pixel to buffers at the bottom of the chip. In comparison to previous generations of the ATLAS pixel chip, FE-I2 incorporates many new features such as embedded "smart" decoupling capacitances, long-term overvoltage protection, linear regulators, a capacitance calibration charge-pump circuit, a power-on reset, and a leakage current monitoring circuit. Its predecessor (FE-I1) has been demonstrated to operate correctly after ionizing radiation doses exceeding 50 Mrad (SiO2). Special techniques employed for digital pick-up reduction are also described.

Capable of 4-400 M-frames/s and between 66 and 79 dB rms dynamic range, these developments are intended for the capture of fast, brief, transient events with high resolution. Applications include accelerator-based flash radiography such as proton radiography [1]. The first is a small two-dimensional (2-D) prototype in which each pixel includes either a capacitive trans-impedance amplifier or a direct-integration source-follower front end, followed by an array of 64 frame storage sample capacitors and associated readout electronics. The acquisition of either 32 frames using correlated double sampling (CDS) at 4 M-frames/s, or 64 frames without CDS at up to 10.5 M-frames/s (-3 dB), and up to 13 b dynamic range was achieved. The second is a monolithic solid state "streak camera:," a 1-D linear array of 150 photo diodes, with a 150-frame analog storage array. This device reached 400-M-frames/s operation with electrical test inputs, at least 100-M-frames/s operation with optical inputs, and achieves over 11 b of dynamic range. These circuits demonstrate the high performance possible with CMOS sensor circuits containing in situ frame storage.

The suitability of the SPRT for long-term monitoring applications is discussed, and the decision-making performance of the SPRT is compared to that of the commonly used single-interval test (SIT). The analysis spans a wide range of signal and background count rates so that results are applicable to sew son of all sizes operating in different ambient conditions, with a spectrum of alarm thresholds. It is demonstrated that, for these simulated long-term monitoring scenarios, decisions to issue an alarm when the measured count rate equals the threshold count rate are made 3-S times faster using the SPRT than with the SIT. The ability of the SPRT to provide an "all-clear" indication and the need for SPRT truncation strategies to limit decision times when the measured count rate falls between background and the specified threshold are also discussed. Under an early termination scenario, it is shown that a truncated SPRT retains a higher probability of detection.

All three systems contained 3He tubes, polyethylene to moderate the neutrons, and cadmium to filter out room-return thermal neutrons. The back and sides of the detectors were shielded with additional polyethylene or bonded polyethylene. The electronics gated off the data acquisition during the interrogating pulse, either bremsstrahlung photons from an electron linac or neutrons from a DT generator. The sensitivity of each detector system depends on the distance between the detector and nuclear material as well as on the intervening material. We present representative data for several configurations showing the performance of each system.

This goal may be achieved by means of individual portal monitors, or by a network of distributed sensors. We have examined the distributed sensing problem by modeling a network of scintillation detectors measuring a Cesium-137 source. We examine signal-to-noise behavior that arises in the simple combination of data from networked radiation sensors. We find that, in the ideal case, large increases in signal-to-noise compared to an individual detector can be achieved, even for a moving source. We also discuss statistical techniques for localizing and tracking single and multiple radioactive sources.

For ZnS:Mn, preliminary results indicate that impact energies greater than 1.6 Times; 10-2 J produced measurable TL light. A so-called "smart" structure with embedded TL material could be capable of determining whether a particle had struck, and record the relative intensity of its impact. In order to use such materials in space, we need to understand the radiation susceptibility of the TL phosphor. The corresponding proton dose required to reduce the proton-induced luminescence of ZnS:Mn to half of its initial value was found to be 9.02 × 1013 mm-2. This value will be used to help determine how incident protons affect the production of TL in ZnS:Mn.

Work by Bowen, et at, and Harmon, et at, has demonstrated their properties under gamma/X-ray irradiation, and Bell, et a!. have shown their response to thermal neutrons. This last work, however, provides an example of a silicone in which both the boron and the scintillator are contained in the rubber as solutes, a formulation which leads to the precipitation of solids and sublimation of the boron component. In the present work we describe a scintillator in which the boron is chemically bonded to the siloxane and so avoids the problem of precipitation and loss of boron to sublimation. Material containing up to 18% boron, by weight, was prepared, mounted on photomultipliers, and exposed to both neutron and gamma fluxes. Pulse height spectra showing the neutron and photon response were obtained, and although the light output was found to be much poorer than from samples in which boron was dissolved, the higher boron concentrations enabled essentially 100% neutron absorption in only a few millimeters of rubber.

The work was motivated by the rigorous requirements of the multiple-pulse imager for dynamic proton radiography. The optical imager has to provide large (>90%) optical fill factor, high quantum efficiency, 200-ns inter-frame time interval, and storage for >32 frames. In order to accommodate the massively parallel electronics including the signal storage for a large number of frames, it is necessary to provide novel 3-D interconnect and packaging architectures. Recently, a 3-D interconnect technology was successfully demonstrated to assemble a stack of 50 signal-processing chips into a cube. Each chip contained test connections (interconnect continuity only) simulating 160 channels of pixel read-out electronics. Test cube assemblies, based on these mock-up integrated circuits, have been fabricated to explore the feasibility of constructing functional cube arrays. A novel 3D integrated sensor-electronics (mirror-cube) imager architecture is proposed. We also briefly review progress in the custom fast image-processing electronics.

Undoped and doped crystals with Sn, In, and Ge were grown. The crystals showed resistivities up to 109 Ωcm and higher. The transport properties depended strongly on the dopant and the compensation mechanism. For the doping with a deep donor, the mobility-lifetime product of electrons were 2 × 10-5 cm/V and 4 × 10-4 m cm²/V for Ge and Sn doped, respectively. The highest values were obtained for In doped (Cd,Zn)Te with 3.3 × 10-3 cm²/V.

Assuming a perfectly diversified load before the price response, we show that TCA setpoint changes in response to the market price Will result in a redistribution of TCAs in on/off states and therefore change the probabilities for a unit to reside in each state. A randomly distributed load can be partially synchronized and the aggregated diversity lost. The loss of the load diversity can then create unexpected dynamics in the aggregated load profile. Raising issues such as restoring load diversity and damping the peak loads are also addressed in this paper.

Users naturally want their programs to adapt to hardware faults and continue running. Researchers have explored a number of different approaches to providing fault tolerance in MPI programs. A particular MPI implementation (no more or less standard-conforming than any other) may still extend (or restrict) the class of MPI programs that will exhibit various degrees of fault tolerance when linked with a particular MPI implementation and executed. of The highest level of survival is that the MPI implementation automatically recovers from some set of faults and the MPI program, regardless of its structure, continues without significant change to its behavior. A second level of survival is that the program is notified of the problem and is prepared to take corrective action.

The flow meter consisted of a micromechanical plate, coupled to a laser deflection system to measure the deflection of the plate during fluid flow. The 100 pm square plate was clamped on three sides and elevated 3 pm above the bottom surface of the channel. The response of the flow meter was measured for flow rates, ranging from 2.1 to 41.7 µL/min. Several fluids, with dynamic viscosities ranging from 0.8 to 4.5 × 10-3 N/rn, were flowed through the channels. Flow was established in the microfluidic channel by means of a syringe pump, and the angular deflection of the plate monitored. The response of the plate to flow of a fluid with a viscosity of 4.5 × 10-3 N/rn was linear for all flow rates, while the plate responded linearly to flow rates less than 4.2 µL/min of solutions with lower dynamic viscosities. The sensitivity of the deflection of the plate to fluid flow was 12.5 ± 0.2 µbrad/(µL/min), for a fluid with a viscosity of 4.5 × 10-3 N/rn. The encapsulated plate provided local flow information along the length of a microfluidic channel.

A boundary condition for the RE is developed that relates the pressure at the beam edge to the beam motion. The coefficients in this boundary condition are determined from Navier-Stokes slip-jump (NSSJ) simulations for small slip lengths (relative to the gap height) and from direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) molecular gas dynamics simulations for larger slip lengths. This boundary condition significantly improves the accuracy of the RE when the microbeam width is only slightly greater than the gap height between the microbeam and the substrate. The improved RE model is applied to microbeams fabricated using the SUMMIT V process.

Using column affinity chromatography with an immobilized YYWLHH stationary phase, it was possible to separate SEB quantitatively from Staphylococcus aureus fermentation broth, a complex mixture of proteins, carbohydrates and other biomolecules. The immobilized peptide was also used to purify native SEB from a mixture containing denatured and hydrolyzed SEB, and showed little cross-reactivity with other SEs. To our knowledge this is the first report of a highly specific short peptide ligand for SEB. Such a ligand is a potential candidate to replace antibodies for detection, removal and purification strategies for SEB.

An iterative approach is used to find the object shape that minimizes the mean-squared difference between a set of actual and predicted scattering observations. A crucial task in this minimization is the computation of the "shape derivative," or functional gradient, of the mean-square error with respect to the object's shape or boundary. The shape derivative tells us how to update the object's shape to reduce the mean-square error at each iteration. If, for example, the object's boundary is parameterized with N variables, a brute-force approach to computing the shape derivative using finite-differences would require a minimum of N+1 forward solutions per iteration. We show how the shape derivative can be computed with just two forward solutions: one ordinary forward solution and a suitably constructed adjoint solution. This approach is independent of N and is not only far more efficient, but numerically less error prone, than finite-difference schemes for computing derivatives.

PM2.5 measurements had also been obtained with TEOM monitors located in the Pittsburgh, PA, area, and at sites in Ohio, including Steubenville, Columbus, and Athens. The PM data from all these sites were analyzed on high PM days; PM2.5 TEOM particulate mass at all sites was generally associated with transitions from locally high barometric pressure to lower pressure. Elevated concentrations occurred with transport of PM from outside the local region in advance of frontal passages as the local pressure decreased. During highpressure periods, concentrations at the study sites were generally low throughout the study region. Further details related to this transport were obtained from surface weather maps and estimated back-trajectories using the hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory model associated with these time periods. These analyses indicated that transport of pollutants to the Pittsburgh site was generally from the west to the southwest. These results suggest that the Ohio River Valley and possible regions beyond act as a significant source of PM and its precursors in the Pittsburgh area and at the other regional sites included in this study.

SN - 00255610 AB - Acceleration–force setups for multi-rigid-body dynamics are known to be inconsistent for some configurations and sufficiently large friction coefficients (a Painleve paradox). This difficulty is circumvented by time-stepping methods using impulse-velocity approaches, which solve complementarity problems with possibly nonconvex solution sets. We show that very simple configurations involving two bodies may have a nonconvex solution set for any nonzero value of the friction coefficient. We construct two fixed-point iteration algorithms that solve convex subproblems and that are guaranteed, for sufficiently small friction coefficients, to retrieve, at a linear convergence rate, the unique velocity solution of the nonconvex linear complementarity problem whenever the frictionless configuration can be disassembled. In addition, we show that one step of one of the iterative algorithms provides an excellent approximation to the velocity solution of the original, possibly nonconvex, problem if for all contacts we have that either the friction coefficient is small or the slip velocity is small.

SN - 00255610 AB - Support vector machines can be posed as quadratic programming problems in a variety of ways. This paper investigates a formulation using the two-norm for the misclassification error that leads to a positive definite quadratic program with a single equality constraint under a duality construction. The quadratic term is a small rank update to a diagonal matrix with positive entries. The optimality conditions of the quadratic program are reformulated as a semismooth system of equations using the Fischer-Burmeister function and a damped Newton method is applied to solve the resulting problem. The algorithm is shown to converge from any starting point with a Q-quadratic rate of convergence. At each iteration, the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury update formula is used to solve the key linear system. Results for a large problem with 60 million observations are presented demonstrating the scalability of the proposed method on a personal computer. Significant computational savings are realized as the inactive variables are identified and exploited during the solution process. Further results on a small problem separated by a nonlinear surface are given showing the gains in performance that can be made from restarting the algorithm as the data evolves.

Recent instability in the electricity industry illustrates the need for thoughtful resource planning to balance the cost, reliability, and risk of electricity supply. This article evaluates the relative risk profiles of renewable and natural gas generating plants. It does so by analyzing how six different risks are allocated and, if possible, mitigated in long-term power purchase contracts, taking as a contract sample 27 agreements signed by the California Department of Water Resources in 2001. This assessment illustrates some of the significant differences between the risk profiles of natural gas-fired and renewable generation. Renewable energy contracts are shown to provide the most value relative to natural gas-fired contracts by mitigating fuel price and environmental compliance risks. Gas-fired electricity contracts typically provide better protection against short-term demand risk. When it comes to fuel supply, performance, and regulatory risks, the relative value of renewable and gas-fired contracts is ambiguous. We conclude that a better understanding of risks and risk allocation practices will help utilities, regulators, and others make more objective decisions in the future when selecting between renewable and gas-fired electricity supply.

More specifically, it is argued that viewing a local community as an interacting set of systems that support or buffer the occurrence of specific substance misuse outcomes, opens up to research two important prospects. The first of these involves creating adequate systems models that can capture the primary community structures and relationships that support public health problems such as alcohol and drug misuse and related outcomes. The second entails rationally testing control strategies that have the potential to moderate or reduce these problems. Understanding and controlling complex dynamic systems models nowadays pervades all scientific disciplines, and it is to research in areas such as biology, ecology, engineering, computer sciences, and mathematics that researchers in the field of addictions must turn to in order to better study the complexity that confronts them as they try to understand and prevent problems resulting from alcohol and drug use and misuse. Here we set out what such a systems-based understanding of alcohol- and drug use-related problems will require and discuss its implications for public policy and prevention programming.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/08/02/Aug2004 Part 2 of 2 VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1902 EP - 1908 SN - 00189499 AB - High resistivity magnetic Czochralski Si detectors were irradiated with 60Co gamma rays, neutrons, and protons to various doses/fluences, along with control float zone Si detectors. 1) It has been found that for gamma radiation, magnetic Czochralski Si detectors behave similarly to the high-temperature, long-time (HTLT) oxygenated float zone Si detectors. There is no space charge sign inversion and there is a buildup of positive space charges. The rate for this buildup is much higher than that for the oxygenated Si detectors and is proportional to the oxygen concentration. 2) For neutron radiation, there is little difference between magnetic Czochralski and control float zone silicon detectors. Space charge sign inversion is observed for both materials. The introduction rate of deep acceptors (beta) for magnetic Czochralski Si detectors is slightly less than that for control float zone Si detectors, and 3) for proton radiation (10 and 20 MeV), although the space charge sign inversion is also observed for magnetic Czochralski Si detectors, the 1-MeV neutron-equivalent space charge sign inversion fluence is about three times higher than that of magnetic Czochralski Si detectors irradiated with neutrons. Also, the acceptor introduction rate beta is about half of that for oxygenated Si detectors. Thus, high resistivity magnetic Czochralski Si behaves in a similar manner to the HTLT oxygenated float zone Si detectors and is even more radiation resistant to damage caused by charged particles.

The data show a rapid decline of ambient atmospheric BC between 1962 and the early 1990s that exceeds the decline in official estimates of BC emissions based only on amount of fuel use and mostly fixed emission factors. This provides empirical confirmation of the existence and large impact of a time-dependent “technology factor” that must multiply the rate of fossil fuel use. Current ambient BC amounts in Great Britain comparable to those in western and central Europe, with diesel engines being the principal present source. From comparison of BC and SO2 data we infer that current BC emission inventories understate true emissions in the UK by about a factor of two. The results imply that there is the potential for improved technology to achieve large reduction of global ambient BC. There is a need for comparable monitoring of BC in other countries.

Sorption of aqueous CL-20 is relatively small (Kd=0.02–3.83 cm3 g-1 for 7 sediments and 12 minerals), which results in only slight retardation relative to water movement. Thus, CL-20 could move quickly through unsaturated and saturated sediments of comparable composition to groundwater, similar to the subsurface behavior of RDX. CL-20 sorption was mainly to mineral surfaces of the sediments, and the resulting isotherm was nonlinear. CL-20 abiotically degrades in oxic environments at slow rates (i.e., 10s to 100s of hours) with a wide variety of minerals, but at fast rates (i.e., minutes) in the presence of 2:1 phyllosilicate clays (hectorite, montmorillonite, nontronite), micas (biotite, illite), and specific oxides (MnO2 and the ferrous-ferric iron oxide magnetite). High concentrations of surface ferrous iron in a dithionite reduced sediment degraded CL-20 the fastest (half-life < 0.05 h), but 2:1 clays containing no structural or adsorbed ferrous iron (hectorite) could also quickly degrade CL-20 (half-life < 0.2 h). CL-20 degradation rates were slower in natural sediments (half-life 3–800 h) compared to minerals. Sediments with slow degradation rates and small sorption would exhibit the highest potential for deep subsurface migration. Products of CL-20 oxic degradation included three high molecular weight compounds and anions (nitrite and formate). The 2–3.5 moles of nitrite produced suggest CL-20 nitro-groups are degraded, and the amount of formate produced (0.2–1.2 moles) suggests the CL-20 cage structure is broken in some sediments. Identification of further degradation products and CL-20 mineralization rates is needed to fully assess the impact of these CL-20 transformation rates on the risk of CL-20 (and degradation product) subsurface movement.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/08/12/ VL - 430 IS - 7001 M3 - Article SP - 758 EP - 761 SN - 00280836 AB - Systems with a ferroelectric to paraelectric transition in the vicinity of room temperature are useful for devices. Adjusting the ferroelectric transition temperature (Tc) is traditionally accomplished by chemical substitution-as in BaxSr1-xTiO3, the material widely investigated for microwave devices in which the dielectric constant (er) at GHz frequencies is tuned by applying a quasi-static electric field. Heterogeneity associated with chemical substitution in such films, however, can broaden this phase transition by hundreds of degrees, which is detrimental to tunability and microwave device performance. An alternative way to adjust Tc in ferroelectric films is strain. Here we show that epitaxial strain from a newly developed substrate can be harnessed to increase Tc by hundreds of degrees and produce room-temperature ferroelectricity in strontium titanate, a material that is not normally ferroelectric at any temperature. This strain-induced enhancement in Tc is the largest ever reported. Spatially resolved images of the local polarization state reveal a uniformity that far exceeds films tailored by chemical substitution. The high er at room temperature in these films (nearly 7,000 at 10?GHz) and its sharp dependence on electric field are promising for device applications.

Replacing our current energy carrier mix with a sustainable fuel is one of the key pieces in that system. Hydrogen as an energy carrier, primarily derived from water, can address issues of sustainability, environmental emissions, and energy security. Issues relating to hydrogen production pathways are addressed here. Future energy systems require money and energy to build. Given that the United States has a finite supply of both, hard decisions must be made about the path forward, and this path must be followed with a sustained and focused effort.

Here we report measurements of plastic yielding for single crystals of micrometer-sized dimensions for three different types of metals. We find that within the tests, the overall sample dimensions artificially limit the length scales available for plastic processes. The results show dramatic size effects at surprisingly large sample dimensions. These results emphasize that at the micrometer scale, one must define both the external geometry and internal structure to characterize the strength of a material.

As part of this initiative, we conducted an enclosure experiment in Lake 239 (ON, Canada). Our goal was to follow over time dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) concentrations, after the addition of 200HgCl2, to assess post-depositional Hg dynamics. DGM concentrations reached very high levels in surface waters (up to 6 ng l-1) during the days following the spike. This increase in DGM levels coincided with a decrease in total Hg in the enclosure. Photoreduction rates of Hg were high after spiking (1 ng l-1 h-1) and decreased by two orders of magnitude during the summer, with low rates observed in August (0.01 ng l-1 h-1). These low rates may be caused by photobleaching of dissolved organic carbon. Water-to-air Hg fluxes (evasion) were measured with a flux chamber and modelled using DGM; both methods yielded similar fluxes when using time-averaged DGM values. Together, these results indicate that, under certain conditions, large amounts of newly deposited Hg(II) may be converted to DGM by photochemical processes and lost by evasion across the air/water interface.

We report the first observation of a nitrate-cancrinite [possibly Na8(K,Cs)(AlSiO4)6(NO3)2·nH2O] extracted from a Hanford tank 241-AP-101 sample that was evaporated to 6, 8, and 10 M NaOH concentrations. The nitrate-cancrinite phase formed spherical aggregates (4 μm in diameter) that consisted of platy hexagonal crystals (≈0.2 μm thick). Cesium-137 was concentrated in these aluminosilicate structures. These phases possessed a morphology identical to that of nitrate-cancrinite synthesized using simulant tests of nonradioactive tank waste, supporting the contention that it is possible to develop nonradioactive artificial sludges. This investigation points to the continued importance of understanding the solubility of NO3-cancrinite and related phases. Knowledge of the detailed structure of actual phases in the tank waste helps with thermodynamic modeling of tank conditions and waste processing.

There were no discernible sequence changes likely to cause attenuation. CCR2-V641, an immunogenetic polymorphism linked to LTSs, was detected in 4 women, all of whom carried the HLA B58 allele. Further investigation of 99 HIV-I-infected Nairobi women found an association between CCR2-V641 and HLA B58 (P = .0048). Studying the interaction among immunogenetics, immune responses, and viral sequences from all HIV- 1 subtypes may increase our understanding of slow HIV-1 disease progression.

The cell-surface repertoire can be expanded to include abiotic functionality through the biosynthetic introduction of unnatural sugars into cellular glycans, a process termed metabolic oligosaccharide engineering. This technique has been exploited in fundamental studies of glycan-dependent cell-cell and virus-cell interactions and also provides an avenue for the chemical remodelling of living cells. Unique chemical functional groups can be delivered to cell-surface glycans by metabolism of the corresponding unnatural precursor sugars. These functional groups can then undergo covalent reaction with exogenous agents bearing complementary functionality. The exquisite chemical selectivity required of this process is supplied by the Staudinger ligation of azides and phosphines, a reaction that has been performed on cultured cells without detriment to their physiology. Here we demonstrate that the Staudinger ligation can be executed in living animals, enabling the chemical modification of cells within their native environment. The ability to tag cell-surface glycans in vivo may enable therapeutic targeting and non-invasive imaging of changes in glycosylation during disease progression.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/08/19/ VL - 430 IS - 7002 M3 - Article SP - 913 EP - 917 SN - 00280836 AB - To maintain chromosome stability in eukaryotic cells, replication origins must be licensed by loading mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM2-7) complexes once and only once per cell cycle. This licensing control is achieved through the activities of geminin and cyclin-dependent kinases. Geminin binds tightly to Cdt1, an essential component of the replication licensing system, and prevents the inappropriate reinitiation of replication on an already fired origin. The inhibitory effect of geminin is thought to prevent the interaction between Cdt1 and the MCM helicase. Here we describe the crystal structure of the mouse geminin-Cdt1 complex using tGeminin (residues 79-157, truncated geminin) and tCdt1 (residues 172-368, truncated Cdt1). The amino-terminal region of a coiled-coil dimer of tGeminin interacts with both N-terminal and carboxy-terminal parts of tCdt1. The primary interface relies on the steric complementarity between the tGeminin dimer and the hydrophobic face of the two short N-terminal helices of tCdt1 and, in particular, Pro 181, Ala 182, Tyr 183, Phe 186 and Leu 189. The crystal structure, in conjunction with our biochemical data, indicates that the N-terminal region of tGeminin might be required to anchor tCdt1, and the C-terminal region of tGeminin prevents access of the MCM complex to tCdt1 through steric hindrance.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/08/26/ VL - 430 IS - 7003 M3 - Article SP - 1001 EP - 1005 SN - 00280836 AB - The phase diagram of hole-doped copper oxides shows four different electronic phases existing at zero temperature. Familiar among these are the Mott insulator, high-transition-temperature superconductor and metallic phases. A fourth phase, of unknown identity, occurs at light doping along the zero-temperature bound of the ‘pseudogap’ regime. This regime is rich in peculiar electronic phenomena, prompting numerous proposals that it contains some form of hidden electronic order. Here we present low-temperature electronic structure imaging studies of a lightly hole-doped copper oxide: Ca2-xNaxCuO2Cl2. Tunnelling spectroscopy (at energies |E| > 100?meV) reveals electron extraction probabilities greatly exceeding those for injection, as anticipated for a doped Mott insulator. However, for |E| < 100?meV, the spectrum exhibits a V-shaped energy gap centred on E = 0. States within this gap undergo intense spatial modulations, with the spatial correlations of a four CuO2-unit-cell square ‘checkerboard’, independent of energy. Intricate atomic-scale electronic structure variations also exist within the checkerboard. These data are consistent with an unanticipated crystalline electronic state, possibly the hidden electronic order, existing in the zero-temperature pseudogap regime of Ca2-xNaxCuO2Cl2.

We describe the properties and functions of individual crystalline oxide nanoribbons that act as subwavelength optical waveguides and assess their applicability as nanoscale photonic elements. The length, flexibility, and strength of these structures enable their manipulation on surfaces, including the optical linking of nanoribbon waveguides and other nanowire elements to form networks and device components. We demonstrate the assembly of ribbon waveguides with nanowire light sources and detectors as a first step toward building nanowire photonic circuitry.

Sparse Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting computes the factorization PAQ = LU for the sparse nonsymmetric matrix A, where P and Q are permutation matrices, L is a lower triangular matrix, and U is an upper triangular matrix. Researchers have shown that sparse partial pivoting can be implemented in time proportional to the number of floating point operations required. The method is used by the sparse matrix package, SuperLU, and was the first method for sparse LU factorization in MATLAB. The goal is to compute a sparsity-preserving permutation Q solely from the pattern of A that limits the worst-case number of nonzeros in the LU factorization PAQ = LU. The fill-in also depends on P, but Q is selected to reduce an upper bound on the fill-in for any subsequent choice of P. Throughout this article, and in the algorithms, researchers assume that exact numerical cancellations do not occur.

Sparse partial pivoting methods compute the factorization PAQ = LU by first finding a column ordering Q. The column ordering Q is selected without regard to the numerical values. The row permutation P is found via standard partial pivoting, without regard to sparsity. The goal is to find Q to limit the worst-case fill-in, regardless of how P is subsequently chosen. COLAMD computes a column ordering Q, given the nonzero pattern of the sparse m-by-n matrix A. It is based on an approximate minimum degree method. The code can be used in two contexts: as a MATLAB mexFunction, and as a C-callable routine. There is an optional input argument that modifies how COLAMD treats matrices having rows and columns with many nonzero entries, and an optional output argument that gives statistics on the ordering. The MATLAB COLAMD function first calls the colaind.c code via the colamdmex.c routine, and then computes a column elimination tree post-ordering, via MATLAB's built-in coletree function.

Particular challenges include concurrent flows with different QoS specifications, high-bandwidth flows, application-level monitoring and control, and end-to-end QoS across networks and other devices. We describe a QoS architecture and implementation that together help to address these challenges. The General-purpose Architecture for Reservation and Allocation (GARA) supports flow-specific QoS specification, immediate and advance reservation, and online monitoring and control of both individual resources and heterogeneous resource ensembles. Mechanisms provided by the Globus Toolkit are used to address resource discovery and security issues when resources span multiple administrative domains. Our prototype GARA implementation builds on differentiated services mechanisms to enable the coordinated management of two distinct flow types—foreground media flows and background bulk transfers—as well as the co-reservation of networks, CPUs, and storage systems. We present results obtained on a wide area differentiated services testbed that demonstrate our ability to deliver QoS for realistic flows.

JO - Computers & Security JF - Computers & Security Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 23 IS - 6 M3 - Editorial SP - 441 EP - 442 SN - 01674048 AB - This article focuses on the use of one-time authentication credentials. Majority of information security professionals now realize that conventional passwords, regardless of whether they are encrypted as they are sent over the network, are so prone to compromise that they need to be abandoned in favor of stronger authentication methods. Conventional passwords are reusable, meaning that if an attacker captures them, the attacker can enter them at leisure to gain unauthorized access. The problem is by no means limited to passwords, however. Any static authentication credential is subject to the same basic problem. One of the best directions at this point in time is the use of one-time authentication credentials. One-time passwords provide a good case in point. In S/KEY, one of the most "tried and true" one-time password systems, users are given a list of passwords to be exact, multiple passwords. One particular set of passwords must be entered during each Login attempt. S/KEY is, however, hopelessly archaic. New versions of this tool some of which are incredibly user friendly, have emerged.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 34 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 315 EP - 331 SN - 0364152X AB - Net environmental benefits are gains in value of environmental services or other ecological properties attained by remediation or ecological restoration minus the value of adverse environmental effects caused by those actions. Net environmental benefit analysis (NEBA) is a methodology for comparing and ranking net environmental benefits associated with multiple management alternatives. A NEBA for chemically contaminated sites typically involves comparison of several management alternatives: (1) leaving contamination in place; (2) physically, chemically, or biologically remediating the site through traditional means; (3) improving ecological value through onsite and offsite restoration alternatives that do not directly focus on removal of chemical contamination; or (4) a combination of those alternatives. NEBA involves activities that are common to remedial alternatives analysis for state regulations and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, post-closure and corrective action permits under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, evaluation of generic types of response actions pertinent to the Oil Pollution Act, and land management actions that are negotiated with regulatory agencies in flexible regulatory environments (i.e., valuing environmental services or other ecological properties, assessing adverse impacts, and evaluating remediation or restoration options). This article presents a high-level framework for NEBA at contaminated sites with subframeworks for natural attenuation (the contaminated reference state), remediation, and ecological restoration alternatives. Primary information gaps related to NEBA include nonmonetary valuation methods, exposure-response models for all stressors, the temporal dynamics of ecological recovery, and optimal strategies for ecological restoration.

The chemical and physical processes that occur during abiotic reduction of natural sediments during flow by sodium dithionite were investigated. In different aquifer sediments, 10-22% of amorphous and crystalline FeIII-oxides were dissolved/reduced, which produced primarily adsorbed FeII and some siderite. Sediment oxidation showed predominantly one FeII phase, with a second phase being oxidized more slowly. The sediment reduction rate (3.3 h batch half-life) was chemically controlled (58 kJ mol-1), with some additional diffusion control during reduction in sediment columns (8.0 h half- life). It was necessary to maintain neutral to high pH to maintain reduction efficiency and prevent iron mobilization, as reduction generated H+. Sequential extractions on reduced sediment showed that adsorbed ferrous iron controlled TCE reactivity. The mass and rate of field-scale reduction of aquifer sediments were generally predicted with laboratory data using a single reduction reaction.

Visual analytics is the formation of abstract visual metaphors in combination with a human information discourse that enables detection of the expected and discovery of the unexpected within massive, dynamically changing information spaces. These suites of technologies apply to almost all fields but are being driven by critical needs in biology and national security. Visual analytics is an outgrowth of the fields of scientific and information visualization but includes technologies from many other fields, including knowledge management, statistical analysis, cognitive science, decision science, and many more. The processes and goals of analysis dominate the approach, but it's enabled by the wide-band visual interface to the brain and a dynamic interaction style of communication and discourse. A few example core technologies help to illustrate the emerging directions within visual analytics.

Many intriguing visualizations help deal with the data overload problem. Examples include visual tools based on similarity, relevance, explicit entity relationships, patterns in citations, and patterns in metadata. The literature describing creative visual approaches and prototype implementations is large and growing. However, little has been published on usage experiences with such tools. The In-Spire visualization tool based on the previous Spire system uses statistical word patterns to characterize documents based on their text content. Among its tools are two visualizations that show document themes, similarities, and differences: document-centric Galaxy uses a dot plot metaphor, and collection-centric ThemeView uses a landscape metaphor. People targeted several additional In-Spire analytic features explicitly at the user community. Their goal in developing In-Spire was to provide a data visualization tool that let users deal with many documents, reducing the amount of time spent crafting queries and the chance of eliminating useful material before the user can see it. It also needed capabilities that let users understand a collection of material at an overview level first, instead of launching immediately into reading individual documents. The tool needed to support analytic demands for both convergent focusing on a particular set of information, relationships, or thesis in depth and divergent seeking alternative explanations and remaining open to other potentially interesting information or relationships understanding methods.

Microcontact printing (μCP) and a photoresist-liftoff method were used to selectively localize poly-L-lysine (PLL) on the surface of MEAs. Haptotaxis led to the organization of the neurons into networks localized adjacent to microelectrodes. Various grids of PLL with 2-25-μm-wide lines spaced by 50-200 μm with 15-25-μm nodes at intersection points were used to guide cell body attachment and neurite outgrowth. Bursting activity with spike amplitude attenuation was observed, and multichannel recordings detected instances of coincident firing activity. Finally, we present here an extracellular recording from a ∼2 μm bundle of guided neurites.

The probability distribution functions of various measures of blackout size have a power tail and rescaled range analysis of the time series shows moderate long-time correlations. Moreover, the same analysis applied to a time series from a sandpile model known to be self-organized critical gives results of the same form. Thus, the blackout data seem consistent with SOC. A qualitative explanation of the complex dynamics observed in electric power system blackouts is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems.

It eliminates the storage of empty sinogram bins. Howe ever, a single back projection of all LORs is still necessary for the pre-calculation of a sensitivity image. Since the detection sensitivity is dependent on the object attenuation and detector efficiency, it must be computed for each study. Exact computation of the sensitivity image can be a daunting task for modern scanners with huge numbers of LORs. Thus, some fast approximate calculation may be desirable. In this paper, we analyze the error propagation from the sensitivity image into the reconstructed image. The theoretical analysis is based on the fixed point condition of the list mode reconstruction. The nonnegativity constraint is modeled using the Kuhn-Tucker condition. With certain assumptions and the first order Taylor series approximation, we derive a closed form expression for the error in the reconstructed image as a function of the error in the sensitivity image. The result shows that the error response is frequency-dependent and provides a simple expression for determining the required accuracy of the sensitivity image calculation. Computer simulations show that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the measured results.

The phases of HFOPs recorded at any given retinal location drift randomly over time, but regions activated by the same stimulus tend to remain phase locked with approximately zero lag, whereas regions activated by spatially separate stimuli are typically uncorrelated. Based on retinal anatomy, we previously postulated that HFOPs are mediated by feedback from a class of axon-bearing amacrine cells that receive excitation from neighboring ganglion cells-via gap junctions-and make inhibitory synapses back onto the surrounding ganglion cells. Using a computer model, we show here that such circuitry can account for the stimulus specificity of HFOPs in response to both highand low-contrast features. Phase locking between pairs of model ganglion cells did not depend critically on their separation distance, but on whether the applied stimulus created a continuous path between them. The degree of phase locking between spatially separate stimuli was reduced by lateral inhibition, which created a buffer zone around strongly activated regions. Stimulating the inhibited region between spatially separate stimuli increased their degree of phase locking proportionately. Our results suggest several experimental strategies for testing the hypothesis that stimulus-specific HFOPs arise from axon-mediated feedback in the inner retina. Index Terms-Gamma oscillations, phase locking, synchrony, temporal code segmentation.

Using these models, we analyze the impacts of electrical-feedback effects (e.g., ripple-current dynamics and load transients) on the performance and reliability of the SOFC. Subsequently, we investigate the effects of harmonics in the current, drawn from the SOFC by a PES, on the temperature and fuel utilization of the SOFC. We explore the impacts of inverter space-vector modulation strategies on the transient response, flow parameters, and current density of the SOFC during load transients and demonstrate how these two traditionally known superior modulation/control methodologies may in fact have a negative effect on the performance and durability of the SOFC unless carefully implemented. Further, we resolve the impacts of the current drawn by the PES from the SOFC, on its microcrack density and electrode/electrolyte degradation. The comprehensive analytical models and interaction-analysis methodologies and the results provided in this paper lead to an improved understanding, and may yield realizations of cost-effective, reliable, and optimal PESs, in particular, and SOFC PCSs, in general.

Hydrogen storage is a crucial step for providing a ready supply of hydrogen fuel to an end use, such as a car, as it is considered by many to be the most technically challenging aspect of achieving a hydrogen-based economy. Hydrogen storage systems used for such stationary applications as residential heating and air-conditioning, neighborhood electrical generation, and many industrial applications can occupy a large area, employ multistep chemical charging/recharging cycles that operate at high temperature and pressure, and compensate for slow kinetics with extra capacity.

The mechanism of these behaviors is not well understood. Our prior studies with positron emission tomography (PET) in drug-addicted subjects documented reductions in striatal dopamine (DA) D2 receptors. In pathologically obese subjects, we found reductions in striatal DA D2 receptors similar to that in drug-addicted subjects. Moreover, DA D2 receptor levels were found to have an inverse relationship to the body mass index of the obese subjects. We postulated that decreased levels of DA D2 receptors predisposed subjects to search for reinforcers; in the case of drug-addicted subjects for the drug and in the case of the obese subjects for food as a means to temporarily compensate for a decreased sensitivity of DA D2 regulated reward circuits. Understanding the mechanism in food intake will help to suggest strategies for the treatment of obesity.

JO - Journal of Microscopy JF - Journal of Microscopy Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 215 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 224 EP - 229 SN - 00222720 AB - The structure and lattice parameters of Xe particles about 1 nm to about 6 nm in size embedded in Al were investigated with off-Bragg condition high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. An Xe particle about 1 nm in size had different structural properties from those 2–6 nm in sizes. Some 1-nm Xe particles had an face-centred cubic (f.c.c.) structure with the same orientation as the Al matrix, whereas others of the same size had a non-f.c.c. structure. The lattice parameters of a 1-nm f.c.c. Xe particle were about 20% smaller than the average value obtained from electron diffraction, i.e. the particle was compressed by about 80%. The lattice parameters of Xe crystals about 2 nm to about 6 nm in size were almost the same as those obtained from diffraction results. One of the reasons for the extra compression seen with a 1-nm Xe particle is the increase in pressure inside an Xe particle with decreasing particle size.

JO - Journal of Systems & Software JF - Journal of Systems & Software Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 73 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 63 EP - 74 SN - 01641212 AB - Simulation is a widely used technique in the design and evaluation of mobile ad hoc networks. However, time and space constraints can often limit the extent of the size, complexity and detail of the networks that can be simulated. Approximations in the system model can possibly alleviate this problem, but we need to be careful about how much accuracy is compromised when employing them. This paper specifically focuses on one aspect of simulation cost that is incurred in the computation of the connectivity graph that is used to describe what mobile nodes can communicate with whom. Since such a graph is re-computed frequently during the simulation, we explore alternatives to computing this graph exactly and their accuracy in capturing the actual graph properties. We investigate three approximation alternatives to compute graph connectivity, and propose metrics for expressing their deviations from the actual graph. In addition, the graphs generated by these approximations are compared to the original by examining several previously proposed graph measures—the degree distribution, clustering coefficient, shortest path distribution and eigenvalue distribution. Such comparisons are conducted not only with static graphs, but also with dynamically changing graphs that are a consequence of clients moving. Results indicate that these approximations can be quite effective in avoiding repeated calculation of exact graph connectivity.

In this letter, it is shown that both reciprocity and time invariance can be replaced by a more general constraint on the Green's function that allows a TRM to implement the spatio-temporal matched filter even when conditions are time varying.

Gasoline vehicles included normal particle mass (particulate matter [PM]) emitters (tested at 72 and 30 Fahrenheit), "black" and "white" smokers, and a new-technology vehicle (tested at 72 Fahrenheit). Diesel vehicles included current-technology vehicles (tested at 72 and 30 Fahrenheit)and a high PM emitter. Total PM emission rates ranged from below 3 mg/mi up to more than 700 mg/mi for the white smoker gasoline vehicle. Emission rates of organic and elemental carbon (OC/EC), elements (metals and associated analytes), ions, and a variety of particulate and semi-volatile organic compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAH] nitro-PAH, oxy-PAH, hopanes, and steranes) are reported for these vehicles. Speciated organic analysis also was conducted on the fuels and lube oils obtained from these vehicles after the emissions testing. The compositions of emissions were highly dependent on the fuel type (gasoline vs. diesel), the state of vehicle maintenance (low, average, or high emitters; white or black smokers), and ambient conditions (i.e., temperature) of the vehicles. Fuel and oil analyses from these vehicles showed that oil served as a repository for combustion byproducts (e.g. PAH), and oil-burning gasoline vehicles emitted PAH in higher concentrations than did other vehicles. These PAH emissions matched the PAH compositions observed in oil.

However, it has also spawned the view that classical probability theory is unable to deal with uncertainties in natural language and machine learning, so that alternatives to probability are needed. One such alternative is what is known as "possibility theory." Such alternatives have come into being because past attempts at making fuzzy set theory and probability theory work in concert have been unsuccessful. The purpose of this article is to develop a line of argument that demonstrates that probability theory has a sufficiently rich structure tor incorporating fuzzy sets within its framework. This probabilities of fuzzy events can be logically induced. The philosophical underpinnings that make this happen are a subjectivistic interpretation of probability, an introduction of Laplace's famous genie, and the mathematics of encoding expert testimony. The benefit of making probability theory work in concern with fuzzy set theory is an ability to deal with different kinds of uncertainties that may arise within the same problem.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part B JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part B Y1 - 2004/09//Sep/Oct2004 VL - 7 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 385 EP - 398 SN - 10937404 AB - The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) has completed 2-yr inhalation exposures in rats and mice with 2-butoxyethanol (BE). This review concerns the most significant findings from those studies and describes recent research into the mechanistic aspects of BE-mediated tumorigenesis in the mouse and the relevance of such effects to humans. Two tumor types were increased in B6C3F1 mice leading to the classification of “some evidence” of carcinogenicity: liver hemangiosarcomas in male mice and forestomach tumors in female mice (primarily benign papillomas). The results of research collected to date indicate that the tumorigenesis noted for BE was produced by indirect mechanisms. In particular, the occurrence of liver hemangiosarcomas in male mice has been linked to oxidative damage subsequent to red blood cell hemolysis and iron deposition in this organ. Oral administration of BE in mice up to 600 mg/kg/d for up to 90 d produces a dose-related increase in iron (Perl’s staining) in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes, increased DNA synthesis in endothelial cells, and enhanced oxidative damage. Further, iron alone, and not BE or BAA, is responsible for producing oxidative damage in cultured hepatocytes from rats or mice. Forestomach neoplasms in female mice were most likely a result of prolonged exposure-induced irritation with compensatory hyperplasia and subsequent tumor promotion. This mechanism is supported by studies indicating elevated levels of BE and BAA in the mouse forestomach tissues and stomach contents following multiple routes of exposure, forestomach epithelial cell cytotoxicity and cell proliferation following administration of BE and BAA, and the increased capacity of forestomach tissues from female mice to metabolize BE to the more irritating metabolite, BAA. The current article summarizes the results of a number of in vivo and in vitro studies designed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis by BE in the mouse and discusses the relevance of these for human risk.

The resulting framework, termed tabu guided generalized hill climbing (TG²HC) algorithms, uses a tabu release parameter that probabilistically accepts solutions currently on the tabu list. TG²HC algorithms are modeled as a set of stationary Markov chains, where the tabu list is fixed for each outer loop iteration. This framework provides practitioners with guidelines for developing tabu search strategies to use in conjunction with GHC algorithms that preserve some of the algorithms' known performance properties. In particular, sufficient conditions are obtained that indicate how to design iterations of problem- specific tabu search strategies, where the stationary distributions associated with each of these iterations converge to the distribution with zero weight on all non-optimal solutions.

Through fund-raising campaigns, individual donations are solicited, and the successes of fund-raising campaigns depend on various feature of the campaign. In this article, the authors use experimental methods to investigate the effects of different types of feedback information during fund-raising campaigns. The basic setting is a linear public good. The major finding in that the nature of information has an impact on individual (and total) contributions and that these effects are systematic. The "optimal" campaign includes information on the relative sizes of received contributions and also offers a suggested level of contributions.

We revisit previous work done on this problem and follow Or's mathematical model [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 54 (1994), pp. 597–609]. A linear analysis of the equations of motion reveals that the only equilibrium points correspond to the inverted and noninverted states of the tippe top and that the modified Maxwell–Bloch equations describe the linear/spectral stability of these equilibria. We supply explicit criteria for the spectral stability of these states. A nonlinear global analysis based on energetics yields explicit criteria for the existence of a heteroclinic connection between the noninverted and inverted states of the tippe top. This criteria for the existence of a heteroclinic connection turns out to agree with the criteria for spectral stability of the inverted and noninverted states. Throughout the work we support the analysis with numerical evidence and include simulations to illustrate the nonlinear dynamics of the tippe top.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/09/02/ VL - 431 IS - 7004 M3 - Article SP - 49 EP - 52 SN - 00280836 AB - Not all noise in experimental measurements is unwelcome. Certain fundamental noise sources contain valuable information about the system itself—a notable example being the inherent voltage fluctuations (Johnson noise) that exist across any resistor, which allow the temperature to be determined1,2. In magnetic systems, fundamental noise can exist in the form of random spin fluctuations3,4. For example, statistical fluctuations of N paramagnetic spins should generate measurable noise of order √N p spins, even in zero magnetic field5,6. Here we exploit this effect to perform perturbation-free magnetic resonance. We use offresonant Faraday rotation to passively7,8 detect the magnetization noise in an equilibrium ensemble of paramagnetic alkali atoms; the random fluctuations generate spontaneous spin coherences that precess and decay with the same characteristic energy and timescales as the macroscopic magnetization of an intentionally polarized or driven ensemble. Correlation spectra of the measured spin noise reveal g-factors, nuclear spin, isotope abundance ratios, hyperfine splittings, nuclear moments and spin coherence lifetimes—without having to excite, optically pump or otherwise drive the system away from thermal equilibrium. These noise signatures scale inversely with interaction volume, suggesting a possible route towards non-perturbative, sourceless magnetic resonance of small systems.

Despite its significance, the biological mechanisms controlling anaerobic methane oxidation are not well characterized. One current model suggests that relatives of methane-producing Archaea developed the capacity to reverse methanogenesis and thereby to consume methane to produce cellular carbon and energy. We report here a test of the "reverse-methanogenesis" hypothesis by genomic analyses of methane-oxidizing Archaea from deep-sea sediments. Our results show that nearly all genes typically associated with methane production are present in one specific group of archaeal methanotrophs. These genome-based observations support previous hypotheses and provide an informed foundation for metabolic modeling of anaerobic methane oxidation.

Measurements were made at ground sites and aboard the Department of Energy''s G-1 research aircraft in an effort to understand the production of O3 in this area. Diurnal variations in O3 differed at the upwind Palo Verde, downtown Phoenix Super Site, and downwind Usery Pass surface stations. Air masses entering the metropolitan area had O3 concentrations greater than 40 ppbv. Maximum O3 concentrations near 100 ppbv were observed downtown at 14:00 local standard time; similar concentrations occurred much later in the day at the downwind site. One aircraft case study on 5 June, 1998 is presented to illustrate ozone production in the region. Calculated ozone production rate and efficiency varied from 1 to 7 ppbv h-1, and 1–3 molecules of O3 per molecule of NOz, respectively, for this flight. Hydrocarbon apportionment, based upon ground site and aircraft measurements, establishes that biogenic species are not significant contributors to O3 production in the Phoenix area. Therefore, carbon monoxide becomes a major contributor to OH reactivity as the more reactive anthropogenic hydrocarbons become depleted. The relatively low ozone production observed in this study is attributed to a low rate of radical production in the dry atmosphere.

It considers the policy implications for communities who have their own local power resources rather than those distributed through transmission from distant sources such as dams, coal power plants or even renewables generation from wind farms, solar thermal or other resources. The issues today, post 911 and the energy crises in California, Northeast North America and Europe, signal the need for a new and different approach to energy supply(s), reliability and dissemination.Distributed generation (DG) as explored in the earlier paper appears to be one such approach that allows for local communities to become energy self-sufficient. Along with energy conservation, efficiency, and on-site generation, local power sources provide concrete definitions and understandings for heretofore ill defined concepts such as sustainability and eco-systems. The end result for any region and nation-state are “agile energy systems” which use flexible DG, on-site generation and conservation systems meeting the needs of local communities.Now the challenge is to demonstrate and provide economic and policy structures for implementing new advanced technologies for local communities. For institutionalizing economically viable and sound environmental technologies then new finance mechanisms must be established that better reflect the true costs of clean energy distributed in local communities. For example, the aggregation of procurement contracts for on-site solar systems is far more cost effective than for each business owner, public building or household to purchase its own separate units. Thus mass purchasing contracts that are link technologies as hybrids can dramatically reduce costs. In short public–private partnerships can implement the once costly clean energy technologies into local DG systems.

Results show that there was only very little increase in mechanical properties of nanocomposites although we used GCNF-ODA reactive linkers to improve the interface. The interfacial stress level of nanocomposites should be much higher than that of traditional composites because of high property mismatch between the nanoscale reinforcement and the matrix. In order to design strong and stiff nanocomposite materials, one should use aligned nanofibers with a relatively large volume or weight fraction. Also, the length of the nanofiber should be long enough and its diameter not very small in order to facilitate the interfacial load transfer mechanism.

These antennae are one of nature's supreme examples of nanoscale engineering, and are constructed from specialized light-harvesting complexes formed of proteins that bind chlorophylls and carotenoids. More than 50 years ago, Theodore Forster described a method for calculating the rate of energy transfer between molecules from the overlap of the donor molecule's fluorescence spectrum and the acceptor molecule's absorption spectrum. The theory has had an enormous impact on biology, chemistry and physics. Collectively, high-resolution structural models, ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations have helped to expose the complex and, in some cases, subtle relationships between structure and light-harvesting in photosynthetic systems.

This is partially explained by numerous gene-poor regions that display a remarkable degree of noncoding conservation with non-mammalian vertebrates, suggesting that they are functionally constrained. In total, we compiled 177.7 million base pairs of highly accurate finished sequence containing 923 manually curated protein-coding genes including the protocadherin and interleukin gene families. We also completely sequenced versions of the large chromosome-5-specific internal duplications. These duplications are very recent evolutionary events and probably have a mechanistic role in human physiological variation, as deletions in these regions are the cause of debilitating disorders including spinal muscular atrophy.

Improved resolution allows not only a wider range of materials to be imaged, but also allows each material to be imaged in several possible orientations. Underfocusing the main imaging lens can also partially compensate for the existence of spherical aberration, but the images recorded are similarly highly delocalized and contain low signal strength. Previous evidence of a sub-angstrom point spread function from a scanning, with apparent spots in a Fourier transform and an intensity profile of a single atom, is not unambiguous because such measurements are sensitive to errors due to noise, instabilities in the microscope, and incorrect adjustment of the detector black level.

The model performance is evaluated using surface and airborne meteorological and chemical measurements made as part of the 2000 Texas Air Quality Study. A simulation that employed the reported mobile, area, biogenic, and point source emissions produced ozone mixing ratios as high as 120ppb and distributions of nitrogen oxides that were similar to measurements at most locations, but the model underestimated ozone mixing ratios greater than 140ppb that were located just downwind of petrochemical facilities. When the point source emission rates of ethene and propene were increased by a factor of 10, the simulated peak ozone levels were in better agreement with surface, aircraft, and lidar observations. The magnitude of the simulated ethene and olefin concentrations were in better agreement with canister samples aloft as well; however, there was still a large amount of scatter in the results. While the highest ozone mixing ratios were produced just downwind of large point source emissions of VOCs, sensitivity simulations also showed that reductions in anthropogenic emissions of NOx would be needed to reduce ozone mixing ratios over a larger area.

The role, if any, that iodine chemistry plays in the polar ozone depletion episodes is not known. These events are rationalized today largely in terms of Br2- and BrCl-initiated reactions. The potential for enhancement of ozone depletions through the presence of iodine-containing molecules (I2, IBr, ICl, CH2I2, CH2IBr, CH2ICl, and CH3I) is investigated in this study. Computer simulations of the homogeneous chemistry are made using a reasonably complete reaction mechanism for Br-, Cl- and I-containing species together with representative chemistry of trace gases in the clean troposphere. The extent of uncertain alternative pathways and efficiencies for OIO and I2O2 photolyses are varied over a range of possible values to establish the sensitivity of the depletion events to these variables. The study shows that significant enhancements of the polar ozone depletion are expected when small amounts of iodine-containing compounds such as CH2I2, IBr, or ICl are present in a polar air mass containing representative Br2–BrCl-trace gas mixtures. The synergistic effect of the iodine compounds results from additional halogen-atom formation from IO–IO, IO–BrO, and IO–ClO reactions. Measurements of IO and precursor iodine-containing compounds are encouraged for future polar spring studies, as well as currently acknowledged important trace species (O3, CH2O, BrO, Br2, and BrCl).

Mercury depletion JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2004/09/22/ VL - 38 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 5105 EP - 5116 SN - 13522310 AB - Simulations of atomic mercury depletion episodes in the polar spring are now based largely on Br2 and Br-atom initiated chemistry. Chlorine is believed to contribute little to the observed depletion. The role, if any, that the presence of iodine compounds play in Hg-atom depletion is unknown at present. The theoretically predicted instability of the HgI species suggests that I-atom reactions with mercury may be an unimportant loss process. However, iodine atoms react rapidly with ozone to develop IO radicals that interact with BrO radicals to enhance Br- and I-atom concentrations, so an indirect influence of iodine compounds on Hg removal might be expected. Computer simulations are described in this study that test this hypothesis using the homogeneous portion of the chemistry of the mercury depletion in the troposphere. Conditions are chosen equivalent to the 1300–1400h on a clear day (17 March) at the location of Barrow, Alaska (Atmos. Environ. 37 (2003) 4467). Small amounts of reactive trace gases, representative of the Arctic spring, are present initially with typical background levels of Hg (0.24ppt) and 50ppb of O3. The simulations show that gaseous atomic mercury depletion in typical Br2 and BrCl mixtures can be enhanced significantly by the presence of small amounts of iodine-containing compounds (I2, CH2I2, CH2IBr, CH2ICl, IBr, and ICl). The major initial product of the possible mercury reactions is HgBr. The subsequent coupling reactions of this species with Br, BrO, Cl, ClO, I, IO, and OH radicals are expected to lead to a variety of reactive gaseous mercury-containing products.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/09/23/ VL - 431 IS - 7007 M3 - Article SP - 437 EP - 440 SN - 00280836 AB - All properties of molecules-from binding and excitation energies to their geometry-are determined by the highly correlated initial-state wavefunction of the electrons and nuclei. Details of these correlations can be revealed by studying the break-up of these systems into their constituents. The fragmentation might be initiated by the absorption of a single photon, by collision with a charged particle or by exposure to a strong laser pulse: if the interaction causing the excitation is sufficiently understood, the fragmentation process can then be used as a tool to investigate the bound initial state. The interaction and resulting fragment motions therefore pose formidable challenges to quantum theory. Here we report the coincident measurement of the momenta of both nuclei and both electrons from the single-photon-induced fragmentation of the deuterium molecule. The results reveal that the correlated motion of the electrons is strongly dependent on the inter-nuclear separation in the molecular ground state at the instant of photon absorption.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/09/30/ VL - 431 IS - 7008 M3 - Article SP - 538 EP - 541 SN - 00280836 AB - Laser-driven accelerators, in which particles are accelerated by the electric field of a plasma wave (the wakefield) driven by an intense laser, have demonstrated accelerating electric fields of hundreds of GV?m-1 (refs 1-3). These fields are thousands of times greater than those achievable in conventional radio-frequency accelerators, spurring interest in laser accelerators as compact next-generation sources of energetic electrons and radiation. To date, however, acceleration distances have been severely limited by the lack of a controllable method for extending the propagation distance of the focused laser pulse. The ensuing short acceleration distance results in low-energy beams with 100 per cent electron energy spread, which limits potential applications. Here we demonstrate a laser accelerator that produces electron beams with an energy spread of a few per cent, low emittance and increased energy (more than 109 electrons above 80?MeV). Our technique involves the use of a preformed plasma density channel to guide a relativistically intense laser, resulting in a longer propagation distance. The results open the way for compact and tunable high-brightness sources of electrons and radiation.

The former technique relies on a separation algorithm, which, given a fractional solution, tries to produce a violated valid inequality. Compact optimization relies on describing the feasible region of the LP by a polynomial number of constraints, in a higher dimensional space. A commonly held belief is that compact optimization does not perform as well as separation in practice. In this paper, we report on an application in which compact optimization does in fact largely outperform separation. The problem arises in structural proteomics, and concerns the comparison of 3-dimensional protein folds. Our computational results show that compact optimization achieves an improvement of up to two orders of magnitude over separation. We discuss some reasons why compact optimization works in this case but not, e.g., for the LP relaxation of the TSP.

Este bulto se eligió porque representa un caso único e ilustra la exactitud y precisión del método de oxidación de plasma. Cinco tipos de materiales que eran claramente componentes del bulto dieron 13 fechas que se combinaron para obtener un promedio con un valor asignado de 2135 ± 11 A.P., seis muestras de un palillo de madera proveniente de Desert Ash promediaron 939 ± 14 A.P., mostrando que este artefacto no era parte del entierro original. La oxidación de plasma promete ser un método no destructivo para obtener fechas de radiocarbono de artefactos orgánicos perecederos, ya que solamente se requiere remover cantidades menores a un miligramo de la superficie expuesta de un artefacto, además de que ningún cambio visible se observó en los materiales frágiles después de la oxidación de plasma, aún bajo ampliación. El método se aplica mejor cuando no existe la posibilidad de contaminación orgánica, este factor necesita ser seriamente considerado en todos los casos, ya que si hay contaminación orgánica ésta tendría que ser removida antes de la oxidación de plasma para obtener fechas de radiocarbono exactas.

The Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) is an Internet-based voting system built by Accenture and its subcontractors for the U.S. Department of Defense Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). The mission of FVAP is to reduce voting barriers for all citizens covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), namely U.S. citizens who are members of the military services, their family members, and nonresident U.S. citizens. SERVE is intended to allow UOCAVA voters both to register to vote and to vote via the Internet, from anywhere in the world. To participate, an eligible voter first enrolls in the SERVE program. After enrollment, the voter may register to vote, and then vote in one or two short sessions from any Internet-connected PC. The PC must run a Microsoft Windows operating system and either the Internet Explorer or Netscape Web browser. Because the Internet is independent of national boundaries, an election held over the Internet is vulnerable to attacks from anywhere in the world.

The cost-to-benefit ratio changes when these algorithms are used in checking the integrity of files and directories. A perpetrator could change a file or directory, altering the contents in a manner that a collision-prone hashing algorithm might not be able to detect. The more salient issue concerns the probability that a perpetrator might be able to exploit a collision in a widely used hashing algorithm in a real-life setting.

Aqueous solutions containing 236U(Vl) (4.5 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-4 M) and EDTA (5.0 × 10-7 to 1.1 × 10-4 M) were reacted for 90 s to 60 mm with freshly cleaved calcite (104) surfaces and calcite powders. Surface exchange coefficients, sorption kinetics, and influence of powder surface area/solution volume (SNV) ratio were investigated by α-counting of 236U. Powder sorption results at SAN = 870 cm²/mL fit a Freundlich isotherm [log [U]surface (in monolayers) = log K + n log [U]aq (in moles/L)], where K = 1.9 ± 0.5 and n = 0.9 ± 0.1, consistent with uptake of U(Vl) by a specific surface reaction where the availability of sorption sites is nonlimiting in the U concentration range measured. Measured U(Vl) coverages along this isotherm, based on the calcite (104) surface Ca site density, ranged from 0.04% to 5.4% of a monolayer. Steady state surface coverages were obtained within 90 s. Sorption of U(Vl) on calcite (104) single-crystal cleavage surfaces using identical solutions yielded higher coverages, because of increased step density induced by dissolution at the relatively low SNV ratio (∼1) of these measurements. The crystallographic location of the sorbed U(Vl) was examined with the synchrotron XSW technique. Measurements were performed at the Advanced Photon Source on fresh calcite (104) cleavage surfaces reacted for 90 s with U(Vl) solutions. Coherent fractions for sorbed U ranged from 0.14 to 0.62, and the mean value of the U coherent position was 0.84 ± 0.02. This position was independent of dissolved U(Vl) concentration and corresponds to a distance between the U atom and the calcite (104) plane of 2.55 ± 0.06 Å. These results are consistent with U(Vl) adsorption at the calcite surface as an inner-sphere uranyl- carbonate surface complex bonded with the outer oxygen atom(s) of a single surface carbonate group. Steric considerations allow this observed U(Vl) surface complex to occur both at step sites ((441)- and (481)-) and on terrace areas adjacent to Ca vacancies.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/10//10/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5201 EP - 5207 SN - 0013936X AB - High-level waste (HLW) is a waste associated with the dissolution of spent nuclear fuel for the recovery of weapons-grade material. It is the priority problem for the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Management Program. Current HLW treatment processes at the Savannah River Site (Aiken, SC) include the use of monosodium titanate (MST, with a similar stoichiometry to NaTi2O5·xH2O) to concentrate strontium (Sr) and actinides. The high affinity of MST for Sr and actinides in HLW solutions rich in Na+ is poorly understood. Mechanistic information about the nature of radionuclide uptake will provide insight about MST treatment reliability. Our study characterized the morphology of MST and the chemistry of sorbed Sr2+ and uranium [U(Vl)] as uranyl ion, UO22+, on MST, which were added (individually) from stock solutions of Sr and 238U(VI) with spectroscopic and transmission electron microscopic techniques. The local structure of sorbed U varied with loading, but the local structure of Sr did not vary with loading. Sorbed Sr exhibited specific adsorption as partially hydrated species whereas sorbed U exhibited specific adsorption as monomeric and dimeric U(Vl)-carbonate complexes. Sorption proved site specific. These differences in site specificity and sorption mechanism may account for the difficulties associated with predicting Sr and U loading and removal kinetics using MST.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 23 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2465 EP - 2472 SN - 07307268 AB - Although intuitively it is apparent that population-level exposure to contaminants dispersed in the environment must be related to the persistence of the contaminant, there has been little effort to quantify this link formally. In this paper we investigate the relationship between overall persistence and/or overall residence time in a multimedia exposure environment and the population level intake of contaminants as expressed by intake fraction (iF), the cumulative fraction of chemical emitted to the environment that is taken up by members of the population. We demonstrate that for any given contaminant and emission scenario the definition of iF implies that it is directly proportional to the overall multimedia persistence (POV), or the overall multimedia residence time (TOV). The proportionality constant has dimensions of time and represents the characteristic time for population intake (CTI) of the chemical from the environment. We then apply the CalTOX fate and exposure model to explore how TOV and CTI combine to determine the magnitude of iF. We find that CTI has a narrow range of possible values relative to TOV across multiple chemicals and emissions scenarios. We use data from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act Priority Substance List (PSL1) Assessments and multimedia POV to show that exposure assessments based on empirical observation are consistent with interpretations from the model. Results indicate that POV derived from screening-level assessments of persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicity (PBT) is a useful indicator of the potential for population-level exposure.

T1 - Associations between carbon isotope ratios of ecosystem respiration, water availability and canopy conductance. JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 10 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1767 EP - 1784 SN - 13541013 AB - We tested the hypothesis that the stable carbon isotope signature of ecosystem respiration (δ13CR) was regulated by canopy conductance (Gc) using weekly Keeling plots (n=51) from a semiarid old-growth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest in Oregon, USA. For a comparison of forests in two contrasting climates we also evaluated trends inδ13CR from a wet 20-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) plantation located near the Pacific Ocean. Intraannual variability inδ13CR was greater than 8.0‰ at both sites, was highest during autumn, winter, and spring when rainfall was abundant, and lowest during summer drought. Theδ13CR of the dry pine forest was consistently more positive than the wetter Douglas-fir forest (mean annualδ13CR:−25.41‰ vs.−26.23‰, respectively,P=0.07). At the Douglas-fir forest,δ13CR–climate relationships were consistent with predictions based on stomatal regulation of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ). Soil water content (SWC) and vapor pressure deficit (vpd) were the most important factors governingδ13CR in this forest throughout the year. In contrast,δ13CR at the pine forest was relatively insensitive toSWCorvpd, and exhibited a smaller drought-related enrichment (∼2‰) than the enrichment observed during drought at the Douglas-fir forest (∼5‰). Groundwater access at the pine forest may buffer canopy–gas exchange from drought. Despite this potential buffering,δ13CR at the pine forest was significantly but weakly related to canopy conductance (Gc), suggesting thatδ13CR remains coupled to canopy–gas exchange despite groundwater access. During drought,δ13CR was strongly correlated with soil temperature at both forests. The hypothesis that canopy-level physiology is a critical regulator ofδ13CR was supported; however, belowground respiration may become more important during rain-free periods.

These materials provide the opportunity to study semiconductor alloys where atoms of very large size mismatch are mixed purposely by modern epitaxial growth techniques. Extensive efforts have been made towards the understanding of the electronic properties of such alloys, in which size-mismatch-induced spatial localisation of the electronic states appears to have played a very important role, in contrast to conventional alloys. In comparison, however, relatively little progress has been made towards the understanding of the defect and impurity properties in this class of materials despite the fact that such studies are essential for realising the vast technological potential of dilute nitrides.

The worst case scenario for this growth rate is exponential and in this paper we demonstrate through computational example that the traditional set of uniformly distributed interpolation points yields this behavior. We propose a set of nonuniform interpolation points which yield a much improved polynomial growth rate of condition number. These points can be used to construct several types of popular hexahedral basis functions including the 0-form (standard Lagrangian), 1-form (Curl conforming), and 2-form (Divergence conforming) varieties. We demonstrate through computational example the benefits of using these new interpolatory bases in finite element solutions to Maxwell's equations in both the frequency and time domain.

This paper presents a set of data communication and process migration protocols to support communication state transfer in a dynamic, distributed parallel environment. The protocols preserve the semantics of point-to-point communication; they guarantee message delivery, maintain message ordering, and do not introduce deadlock when blocking send or receive operations are performed during process migration. Analytical proofs and prototype implementation are conducted to confirm the correctness of the protocols. Analytical and experimental results show the proposed design is valid and has a true potential in network computing.

Manufacturable and highly reliable oxide films have demonstrated, based on simulation, the ability to induce greater than 1.5-GPa tensile stress in the Si channel, when used as shallow trench isolation (STI) fill. Low-temperature blanket nitride films with a stress range of 2 GPa compressive to greater than 1.4 GPa tensile were also developed to enhance performance in both PMOS and NMOS devices. Combined with a tensile first interlayer dielectric film, the stress management and optimization of the above films can yield significant performance improvement without additional cost, or integration complexities.

Emphases are given to: 1) constructing a finite-element mode) from natural image features with an adaptive mesh and 2) quantifying the Young's modulus of scars using the finite-element model and regularization method, A set of natural point features is extracted from the images of burn patients. A Delaunay triangle mesh is then generated that adapts to the point features. A three-dimensional finite-element model is built on top of the mesh with the aid of range images providing the depth information. The Young's modulus of scars is quantified with a simplified regularization functional, assuming that the knowledge of the scar's geometry is available. The consistency between the relative elasticity index and the physician's rating based on the Vancouver scale (a relative scale used to rate burn scars) indicates that the proposed modeling approach has high potential for image-based quantitative burn scar assessment.

Devices have been fabricated, tested, and approved for production. The SVX4 design is a technology migration of the SVX3D design currently in used by CDF. Whereas SVC3D was fabricated in a 0.8-μm radiation-hard process, SVC4 was fabricated in a standard 0.25-μm mixed-signal CMOS technology using the "radiation tolerant by design" transistor topologles devised by the CERN RD49 collaboration. The specific cell layouts include digital cells developed by the ATLAS Pixel group, and full-custom analog blocks. Unlike its predecessors, the new design also includes the necessary features required for generic use by both the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermillab. Performance of the IC includes > 20 MRad total dose tolerance, and ∼2000 e-rms equivalent input noise charge with 40-pF input capacitance, when sampled at 132-ns period with an 80-ns preamp risetime. At the nominal digitize/readout rate of 106/53 MHz, the 9 mm × 6.3 mm die dissipates ∼2 mW/channel average at 2.5 V. A review of typical operation, details of the design conversion process, and performance measurements are covered.

The first VLSI prototypes consist d of 1- and 5-mW charge sensitive preamplifiers (CSP) based on a modified e telescopic architecture. Characterization of the rise time, linearity dynamic range, equivalent noise charge (ENC), timing resolution and energy resolution are reported and discussed. When connected to an APD-LSO detector, time resolutions of 2.49 and 1.56 us full-width half-maximum (FWHM) were achieved by the 1- and S-mW CSPS, respectively. Both CSPs make it possible to achieve performance characteristics that are adequate for PET imaging. Experimental results indicate that the CMOS 0.18-μm technology is suitable for both the low-power and the high-performance PET front-end applications.

We propose to use a compact (kg-scale), two-phase (liquid-gas) argon ionization detector to measure coherent neutrino scattering off nuclei. In our approach, neutrino-induced nuclear recoils in the liquid produce a weak ionization signal, which is transported into a gas under the influence of an electric field, amplified via electroluminescence, and detected by phototubes or avalanche diodes. This paper describes the features of the detector, and estimates signal and background rates for a reactor neutrino source. Relatively compact detectors of this type, capable of detecting coherent scattering, offer a new approach to flavor-blind detection of man- made and astronomical neutrinos, and may allow development of compact neutrino detectors capable of nonintrusive real-time monitoring of fissile material in reactors.

We have studied the behavior of the bumps by visual inspection of the bumps bonding silicon sensor modules to dummy chips made out of glass. The studies were done before and after thermal cycles, exposure to intense irradiation, and with the assemblies glued to a graphite substrate. We have also carried out studies on effects of temperature changes on both types of bump bonds by observing the responses of single-chip pixel detectors to a 90Sr source. We report the results from these studies as well as the noise and threshold behavior of the pixel readout at various temperatures.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2174 EP - 2180 SN - 00189499 AB - The new silicon detector design for CDF riles on advanced packaging solutions in order to attain the strict small size and low mass requirements dictated by the experiment's physics program. The silicon strip detector at CDF is composed of over laying silicon sensors in the form of a barrel around the colliding beam. The electronic instrumentation (sensors, readout, and transceiver chips) is assembled into the staves of this barrel. In this paper we describe the development of the mini port card (MPC). The MPC Is located at one of the ends of the stave, and it is responsible for signal translation and repetition from the readout chips to and from the data acquisition system (DAQ). The MPC's development has taken two approaches that use different technologies. One of the approaches uses BeO as the board substrate (BeO-MPC), while the other approach uses a hybrid rigid-flexible polylmide substrate (Poly-MPC). We present test results of pre-production parts, each one assembled with a different MPC packaging technology.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2187 EP - 2192 SN - 00189499 AB - Compact muon solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN large hadron coffider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10000-ton return yoke made of construction steel. Accurate characterization of the magnetic field every- where in the CMS detector, including the large ferromagnetic parts of the yoke, is required. To measure the field in and around ferromagnetic parts, a set of flux-loops and Hall probe sensors will be installed on several of the steel pieces. Fast discharges of the solenoid during system commissioning tests will be used to induce voltages in the flux-loops that can be integrated to measure the flux in the steel at full excitation of the solenoid. The Hall sensors will give supplementary information on the axial magnetic field and permit estimation of the permanent field in the steel after the fast discharge. An experimental R&D program has been undertaken, using a test flux-loop, two Hall sensors, and sample disks made from the same construction steel used for the CMS magnet yoke. A sample disc, assembled with the test flux-loop and the Hall sensors, was inserted between the pole tips of a dipole electromagnet equipped with a computer-controlled power supply to measure the excitation of the steel from full saturation to zero field. The results of the measurements are presented and discussed.

Much of this rejection will come from the detection of either or both of the photons by our photon veto system. The main CKM photon veto system is based on 80-layer sandwiches of 1-mm Pb and 5-mm fast scintillator with wavelength shifting fibers inside a vacuum decay volume, read out with photomultipiler tubes outside the vacuum. We describe the design of the CKM photon veto system and the testing of a prototype in an electron beam at Jefferson National Laboratory, demon- strafing an order of magnitude better performance than the required 3 × 10-5 inefficiency for a 1 GeV electromagnetic shower [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2209 EP - 2214 SN - 00189499 AB - The various generations of Silicon Vertex Detectors (SVX, SVX', SVXII) for Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) at the Fermilab Tevatron have been fundamental tools for heavy-flavor tagging via secondary vertex detection. The CDF Run llb Silicon Vertex Detector (SVXIIb) has been designed to be a radiation-tolerant replacement for the currently installed SVXII because SVXII was not expected to survive the Tevatron luminosity anticipated for Run IIb. One major change in the new design is the use of a single mechanical and electrical element throughout the array. This element called a stave, carries six single-sided silicon sensors on each side and is built using carbon fiber skins with a high thermal conductivity on a foam core with a built-In cooling channel. A. Kapton bus cable carries power, data and control signals underneath the silicon sensors on each side of the stave. Sensors are read out in pairs via a ceramic hybrid glued on one of the sensors and equipped with four SVX4 readout chips. This new design concept leads to a very compact mechanical and electrical unit, allowing streamlined production and ease of testing and installation. A description of the design and mechanical performance of the stave is given. Results on the electrical performance obtained using prototype staves are also presented.

One of the key needs to counter such a threat is long-range detection of nuclear material. Theoretically, gamma-ray emissions from such material should allow passive detection to distances greater than 100 m. However, detection at this range has long been thought impractical due to spatially fluctuating levels of natural background radiation. These fluctuations are the major source of uncertainty in detection and mean that sensitivity cannot be increased simply by increasing detector size. Recent work, has shown that this problem can be overcome through the use of Imaging techniques. In this paper we describe the background problems, the advantages of Imaging and, the construction of a prototype, large-area (0.57 m2) gamma-ray Imager to detect nuclear materials at distances of ∼ 100 m.

This paper endeavors to analyze and evaluate the costs and benefits associated with the use of a network of radiation detection for applications involving the detection of a moving radioactive source. This analysis is restricted to the one-dimensional case, i.e., to the case where the moving source is constrained to move along a single path. It is found that the relative advantage resulting from sensor dispersal depends upon the goals, objectives, and constraints of the measurement scenario. The dispersal of sensors into a network may be advisable or required for operational reasons, but from a statistical perspective does not directly lead to improved performance in terms of detection efficiency and false detection rate.

The signal in PDD is generated by the transport of holes (instead of electrons as in an n-type drift detector) in the bulk of the detector and their arrival to the anode. Large arrays of drift cells are required for the extended X-ray absorption fine structure experiments (EXAFS). The large number of cells forces the design of the drift cell with a minimal number of bonds per cell. The presented design creates the drift field by the spiral-based voltage divider. Moreover, the Leakage current created at the depleted part of the detector surface is also collected without an external connection to the cell. The leakage current is collected directly on the inner terminal of the divider. The lithographic processes of the wafer are done only on one side resulting in a much faster fabrication. The lithography-less side of the detector was uniformly implanted with phosphorus creating a shallow, rectifying p-n+ junction. This side is exposed to the radiation. Positive charges in the native oxide help to keep the thickness of the dead entrance layer at the minimum. Moreover, this layer is not sensitive to the radiation damage caused by very low energy X-rays that do not damage the silicon structure and produce only additional positive charge in the oxide. For the first time, the design makes an active usage of the positive charge in the oxide as a rectifying junction on p-type silicon.

First, a large-area native epitaxial silicon photogate sensor was designed to increase the charge collected per hit pixel and to reduce charge diffusion to neighboring pixels. High charge to voltage conversion is maintained by subsequent charge transfer to a low capacitance readout node. Second, a per-pixel correlated double sampling kT/C reset noise reduction circuit was tested. It requires only one read, as compared to two for typical double sampling in active pixel sensors, and no off-pixel storage or subtraction is needed, The technique reduced input-referred temporal noise by a factor of 2.5 to a measured 15.6 e-, rms. Finally, a column-level active reset technique was designed that suppresses kT/C reset noise. It reduced noise by up to a factor of 7.6, to an estimated 8.3 input-referred electrons, rms. The technique also dramatically reduces fixed pattern (pedestal) noise, by up to a factor of 21. This may reduce pixel-by-pixel pedestal differences enough to permit sparse data scan without per-pixel offset corrections.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2341 EP - 2346 SN - 00189499 AB - A high-speed, one-dimensional detector array for electrons and UV/X-ray photons has been developed. The detector is capable of handling the high countrates encountered in at third generation synchrotron radiation sources and is free from nonlinearity problems present in charge coupled device (CCD) detectors. Electrons are counted by a configuration of microchannel plates, an array of charge collection electrodes, and custom-designed integrated circuits (IC) assembled on a ceramic hybrid. The charges are collected on 768 strips with a 48 μm pitch that are wire-bonded to 6 pairs of signal processing ICs. Each front-end IC has 128 channels of amplifiers (peaking time 25 ns) and discriminators. The pulse-pair resolution is 50 ns leading to a maximum linear countrate/channel of 2 MHz. The second, custom-designed IC features 24-b buffered counters and a serial link for the transfer of commands and data. A possible deadtime-less readout of all channels in 150 μs opens the door to time resolved experiments. The complete detector system includes the high-voltage power supply, a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based data acquisition system, and supporting software. Special care has been taken to insure reliable operation in an ultra-high vacuum environment. The detector architecture and design is described and measured performance characteristics such as spatial resolution and count-rate linearity are presented.

The method is serial and requires one dock cycle per layer. It has two main advantages over a logical equation approach. First, missing track elements have no effect on the amount of calculation required and the resolution degrades in a predictable manner. Second, this method allows implementing information from the third (nonbend) coordinate as a simple extension to the basic algorithm.

The availability of silicon as an almost ideal semiconductor material is one of the main reasons for this progress. The well-defined properties of the silicon-silicon dioxide interface allowed the development of detector structures beyond the structure of a classical diode detector, which was practically the only silicon detector structure 20 years ago. All new structures make use of an electric field parallel to the large surface of the detector. Improvements in the production of silicon detectors has lead to a substantial decrease of the detector leakage current. These detectors can achieve their best performance very close to or at room temperature.

These experiments, conducted under both dc and pulsed conditions, lead to a model of switch operation that enables the design of such switches for multi-megampere operation. This paper describes the successful implementation of a surface tracking switch as an operational component in several high-current pulsed power systems, and offers some insight into the operation of surface-tracking switches that may assist in future work to apply the technique as a triggered switch in very-high-energy and high-voltage systems.

T1 - Optical and Pressure Diagnostics of 4-MV Water Switches in the Z-20 Test Facility. JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 2 VL - 32 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1778 EP - 1789 SN - 00933813 AB - We are studying the behavior of self-breaking, high-voltage water switches for the Z refurbishment project. In Z-20, three or four water switches in parallel are charged to 4 MV in ∼220 ns. The water gap between switch electrodes is 13-15 cm, and the enhancement of the positive and negative electrodes is varied to study time-evolution of the breakdown arcs, current sharing, and switch simultaneity. In addition to the standard electrical diagnostics (V, I), we are looking at one or more of the switches during the breakdown phase with two optical diagnostics: a streak camera and a fast framing camera. The streak camera has ∼1 -ns resolution, and the framing camera provides seven frames with >5 ns exposure times. For identical electric fields, the streamers originating on the positive electrode form earlier and move more rapidly than the streamers originating on the negative electrode. We observe four distinct phases in the closure of the water switches that depend on the macroscopic electric fields in the water: 1) No streamers propagate at E-fields below ∼ 100 kV/cm from positive electrodes or voltages below ∼ 140 kV/cm for negative electrodes; 2) streamers propagate with constant velocity between 100 and ∼ 300 kV/cm; 3) above 300 kVlcm, the streamer velocities become linearly proportional to the electric field; 4) above 600 kVlcm, the velocity of streamers from the negative electrodes appears to saturate at ∼ 100 cm/ps. The velocity of the streamers from the positive electrode continues to increase with E-field, reaching sim;1% of the speed of light when the switch reaches closure.

The extraction kicker system is a high peak power, high average power, high-precision pulse-wave- form, low beam impedance, and high repetition rate pulsed power system. It has been successfully designed and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY. The system consists of fourteen extraction magnet sections inside the ring vacuum chamber and fourteen identical high-voltage modulators located in the service building. The design features a Blumlein pulse-forming-network (PFN) based topology, a low beam impedance termination, a fast current switching thyratron, and low inductance capacitor banks. It has a maximum charging voltage of 50 kV, an open circuit output of 100 kV, and a designed maximum pulsed current output of 4 kA per modulator. The overall system output will reach multiple GW peak power with a 60 pulse/s repetition rate. A prototype modulator has been successfully built and tested well above the SNS requirement. The first batch of production modulators have passed all required tests at manufacture facility and delivered to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, and the rest of the production units are under construction. The technical challenges and development results are presented in this paper.

Cylinder eccentricity correlates with an azimuthal variation in the axial current, the magnetic field, and the force on the liner. The asymmetric force sums to a net force tending to restore the inner cylinder to concentricity. Complete pinch compression and concentricity are achieved simultaneously when the initial radius of the inner cylinder Ri(0) is about 2/3 the radius of the outer return current cylinder Ro or, equivalently, when the initial liner inductance per unit length is about 0.82 . nil/cm. Compressing the liner onto a finite-sized cylindrical target boosts this critical ratio only up to Ri(0)/Ro ≈ 3/4. Recent and planned liner compression experiments are evaluated according to these criteria.

Analysis of experimental data showed that the inner surface of the liner had attained a velocity of between 6.8-8.4 km/s, consistent with detailed numerical calculations. Both calculations and data were consistent with a final liner state that was still substantially solid at target impact time and had a total kinetic energy of over 20 MJ.

A PR) was developed for this purpose using the Gamble II generator. For maximum dose-rate conditions, the short-circuit phase duration was 40 ns, after which the voltage increased to 1.8 MV and the total current in the diode was 0.5 MA. The X-ray pulsewidth was 8 ns, much less than the typical 50 ns pulsewidth with a vacuum diode. This PH) was adapted to the higher-current Saturn generator at 6-8 MA by making a 10-cm diameter circular array of 6,9, or 12 isolated PFDs. Higher dose rates were obtained using fewer PFDs; about 1 × 1012 rad/s with the 12-PR) array, 2 × 1012 with nine PFDs and 4 × 1012 with 6 PFDs. Analyses based on electrical and radiation diagnostics indicate that 40%-77% of the electrical current produces radiation at the time of maximum dose rate. The X-ray pulsewidth was typically 13-16 ns, less than the pulsewidth for standard (vacuum) bremsstrahlung diodes on Saturn. This system, with improvements in reproducibility, could provide a high dose-rate, small-area bremsstrahlung capability for high current generators.

Due to a well organized tensor structure, the governing equations are presented in a canonical form, and required attractors as well as their basins can be easily placed and controlled. This new class of dynamical networks can represent phenomenological models for self-organization in physics and biology. Applications of these networks to pattern recognition, associative memory, synthesis of models based upon observation data, detection of abnormalities and data compression are discussed. The difference between the proposed dynamical networks and neural networks is emphasized.

Like many questions that arise in biological research, this problem cannot be addressed generally by traditional laboratory experimentation alone. Instead, an approach that integrates experiment and computation is required. We formulate the transmembrane protein structure determination problem as a bound-constrained optimization problem using a special empirical scoring function, called Bundler, as the objective function. In this paper, we describe the optimization problem and its mathematical properties, and we examine results obtained using two different derivative-free optimization algorithms.

JO - Journal of Environmental Science & Health, Part A: Toxic/Hazardous Substances & Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Science & Health, Part A: Toxic/Hazardous Substances & Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 39 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2691 EP - 2705 SN - 10934529 AB - Nanophase materials have enhanced properties (thermal, mechanical, electrical, surface reactivity, etc.) not found in bulk materials. Intuitively, the enhancement of material properties could occur when the materials encounter biological specimens. Previous investigations of biological interactions with nanometer-scale materials have been very limited. With the ability to manipulate atoms and molecules, we now can create predefined nanostructures with unprecedented precision. In parallel with this development, improved understanding of the biological effects of the nanophase materials, whatever those may be, should also deserve attention. In this study, we have applied precision aerosol technology to investigate cellular response to nanoparticles. We used synthetic nanoparticles generated by an electrospray technique to produce nanoparticles in the size range of 8–13 nm with practically monodispersed aerosol particles and approximately the same number concentration. We report here on the potency of nano-metal particles with single or binary chemical components in eliciting interleukin-8 (IL-8) production from epithelial cell lines. For single-component nanoparticles, we found that nano-Cu particles were more potent in IL-8 production than nano-Ni and nano-V particles. However, the kinetics of IL-8 production by these three nanoparticles was different, the nano-Ni being the highest among the three. When sulfuric acid was introduced to form acidified nano-Ni particles, we found that the potency of such binary-component nanoparticles in eliciting IL-8 production was increased markedly, by about six times. However, the acidified binary nano-Na and -Mg nanoparticles did not exhibit the same effects as binary nano-Ni particles did. Since Ni, a transition metal, could induce free radicals on cell surfaces, while Na and Mg could not, the acidity might have enhanced the oxidative stress caused by radicals to the cells, leading to markedly higher IL-8 production. This result indicates the complexity of biological responses to nanoparticles. We believe that the exposure methodology and aerosol technology employed in our research will provide an effective means to systematically investigate cellular responses to nanoparticles, structured or unstructured, in ongoing research projects. Different cell lines, chemicals, and particle morphology can also be investigated using such a methodology.

JO - Journal of Quality Technology JF - Journal of Quality Technology Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 36 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 432 EP - 450 SN - 00224065 AB - Many designed experiments require the simultaneous optimization of multiple responses. A common approach is to use a desirability function combined with an optimization algorithm to find the most desirable settings of the controllable factors. However, as the problem grows even moderately in either the number of factors or the number of responses, conventional optimization algorithms can fail to find the global optimum. An alternative approach is to use a heuristic search procedure such as a genetic algorithm (GA). This paper proposes and develops a multiple-response solution technique using a GA in conjunction with an unconstrained desirability function. The GA requires that several parameters be determined in order for the algorithm to operate effectively. We perform a robust designed experiment in order to tune the genetic algorithm to perform well regardless of the complexity of the multiple-response optimization problem. The performance of the proposed GA method is evaluated and compared with the performance of the method that combines the desirability with the generalized reduced gradient (GRG) optimization. The evaluation shows that only the proposed GA approach consistently and effectively solves multiple-response problems of varying complexity.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 116 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1967 EP - 1974 SN - 00014966 AB - A new class of simple, highly efficient, cylindrical acoustic concentration devices has been developed based upon cylindrical (or near cylindrical) geometries [Kaduchak et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 73, 1332-1336 (2002)] for aerosol concentration applications. The concentrators are constructed from single PZT tubes driven at or near the breathing mode resonance. Acoustic concentration of aerosols is performed within the tube cavity. It has been found that slight modifications to the cylindrical cavity geometry can significantly increase the collection efficiency and assist in precise particle positioning. This paper analyzes the theoretical framework for the acoustic concentration of particles in these devices for various geometrical perturbations. The cavity geometries studied are (1) hollow cylindrical piezoelectric tube, (2) hollow piezoelectric tube with an inner concentric solid cylinder insert, (3) a hollow piezoelectric tube with a concentric elliptic insert which breaks the circular-cylindrical symmetry, and (4) a hollow elliptic cylindrical piezoelectric tube. It is shown that breaking the circular symmetry within the cavity localizes the particles in small spatial regions within the cavity. This localization of particles may be very useful in applications requiring aerosol collection or particle stream positioning.

At successive angular locations at a fixed radius, the transducer launches a primary field and collects the backscattered field in a "pitch/catch" operation. The hardware configuration, operating mode, and data collection method are identical to that of most medical intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) systems. IVUS systems form images of the medium surrounding the probe based upon ultrasonic B scans, using a straight-ray model of sound propagation. The goal of this research is to develop a wave-based imaging algorithm using diffraction tomography techniques. Given the hardware configuration and the imaging method, this system is referred to as "radial reflection diffraction tomography." Two hardware configurations are considered: a multimonostatic mode using a single transducer as described above, and a multistatic mode consisting of a single transmitter and an aperture formed by multiple receivers. In this latter case, the entire source/receiver aperture rotates about the fixed radius. Practically, such a probe is mounted at the end of a catheter or snaking tube that can be inserted into a part or medium with the goal of forming images of the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. An analytic expression for the multimonostatic inverse is derived, but ultimately the new Hilbert space inverse wave (HSIW) algorithm is used to construct images using both operating modes. Applications include improved IVUS imaging, bore hole tomography, and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of parts with existing access holes.

To provide a technical basis to permit the waste treatment facility, a relatively organic-rich Hanford Tank 241-AN-107 waste simulant was spiked with 14 target volatile, semi-volatile, and pesticide compounds and evaporated under vacuum in a bench-scale natural circulation evaporator fitted with an industrial stack off-gas sampler at the Savannah River National Laboratory. An evaporator material balance for the target organics was calculated by combining liquid stream mass and analytical data with off-gas emissions estimates obtained using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SW-846 Methods. Volatile and light semi-volatile organic compounds (< 220 ° C BP, >1 mm Hg vapor pressure) in the waste simulant were found to largely exit through the condenser vent, while heavier semi-volatiles and pesticides generally remain in the evaporator concentrate. An OLI Environmental Simulation Program (licensed by OLI Systems, Inc.) evaporator model successfully predicted operating conditions and the experimental distribution of the fed target organics exiting in the concentrate, condensate, and off-gas streams, with the exception of a few semi-volatile and pesticide compounds. Comparison with Henry's Law predictions suggests the OLI Environmental Simulation Program model is constrained by available literature data.

Even if major technology improvements are achieved for non-carbon-emitting technologies such as energy-intensity improvements, wind, solar, biomass, and nuclear over the course of the 21st century, most examinations of potential future greenhouse emissions conclude that additional technology development will be required to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. The development of an expanded suite of technologies including carbon capture and disposal, hydrogen systems and biotechnology hold the potential to dramatically reduce the cost of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations. This paper examines these technologies in the context of a global integrated assessment model of energy, agriculture, land-use, economics, and carbon cycle processes.

Using a novel algorithm, submovements were extracted from the point-to-point movements of 41 persons recovering from stroke. Analysis of the extracted submovements showed that, over the course of therapy, patients’ submovements tended to increase in peak speed and duration. The number of submovements employed to produce a given movement decreased. The time between the peaks of adjacent submovements decreased for inpatients (those less than 1 month post-stroke), but not for outpatients (those greater than 12 months post-stroke) as a group. Submovements became more overlapped for all patients, but more markedly for inpatients. The strength and consistency with which it quantified patients’ recovery indicates that analysis of submovement overlap might be a useful tool for measuring learning or other changes in motor behavior in future human movement studies.

Analysis of the extracted submovements showed that, over the course of therapy, patients' submovements tended to increase in peak speed and duration. The number of submovements employed to produce a given movement decreased. The time between the peaks of adjacent submovements decreased for inpatients (those less than 1 month post-stroke), but not for outpatients (those greater than 12 months post-stroke) as a group. Submovements became more overlapped for all patients, but more markedly for inpatients. The strength and consistency with which it quantified patients' recovery indicates that analysis of submovement overlap might be a useful tool for measuring learning or other changes in motor behavior in future human movement studies.

In the materials front, understanding the fundamental properties at molecular level is important to the realization of the full potential of substances and the fruition of eventual technological applications. Neutron-scattering characterization of biomolecular systems can in principle provide unique information pertinent to nanotechnological applications. But the method is not widely utilized because neutron facilities are not normally located at industrial laboratories and university campuses. We introduce the techniques of neutron scattering for studying the organization of nanoscale structural units and their dynamic response to physical-chemical conditions. Examples are given to illustrate neutron characterization of nanostructured biomaterials and the implications for biotechnology.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 24 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1185 EP - 1199 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 02724332 AB - The effectiveness of a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) depends on the quality and relevance of the output from exposure and risk models, which, in turn, depends on the critical inputs to the assessment. These critical inputs are often in the form of probabilistic exposure factor distributions that are derived for the given risk scenario. Deriving probabilistic distributions for model inputs can be time consuming and subjective. The absence of a standard approach for developing these distributions can result in PRAs that are inconsistent and difficult to review by regulatory agencies. We present an approach that reduces subjectivity in the distribution development process without limiting the flexibility needed to prepare relevant PRAs. The approach requires two steps. First, we analyze data pooled at a population scale to (i) identify the most robust demographic descriptors within the population for a given exposure factor, (ii) partition the data into subsets based on these variables, and (iii) construct archetypal distributions for each subpopulation. Second, we sample from these archetypal distributions according to site- or scenario-specific conditions to simulate exposure factor values and use these values to construct the scenario-specific input distribution. The archetypal distributions developed through Step 1 provide a consistent basis for developing scenario-specific distributions so risk assessors will not have to repeatedly collect and analyze raw data for each new assessment. We demonstrate the approach for two commonly used exposure factors—body weight (BW) and exposure duration (ED)—using data that are representative of the U.S. population. For these factors we provide a first set of subpopulation-based archetypal distributions and demonstrate methods for using these distributions to construct relevant scenario-specific probabilistic exposure factor distributions.

We report the 34 million-base pair draft nuclear genome of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and its 129 thousand-base pair plastid and 44 thousand-base pair mitochondrial genomes. Sequence and optical restriction mapping revealed 24 diploid nuclear chromosomes. We identified novel genes for silicic acid transport and formation of silica-based cell walls, high-affinity iron uptake, biosynthetic enzymes for several types of polyunsaturated fatty acids, use of a range of nitrogenous compounds, and a complete urea cycle, all attributes that allow diatoms to prosper in aquatic environments.

Osmium isotope ratios in Hawaiian lavas indicate a mass flux of <1% core to the mantle, which is the immediate source of these lavas. We present precise measurements of the Fe/Mn ratio for Hawaiian lavas, revealing an increase of 1 to 2% in the mole fraction of iron in the mantle beneath Hawaii. This corresponds to a density anomaly of about 0.5%, about the same magnitude observed in seismic tomography models of the Pacific superswell region. These data also rule out a role for Mn-rich sediments as the source of the Hawaiian Os isotope signal.

In Task 27 Performance of Solar Facade Components of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme work has therefore been undertaken with the objective to develop a general methodology for durability test procedures and service lifetime prediction methods adaptable to the wide variety of advanced optical materials and components used in energy efficient solar thermal and buildings applications. As the result of this work a general methodology has been developed. The proposed methodology includes three steps: (a) initial risk analysis of potential failure modes, (b) screening testing/analysis for service life prediction and microclimate characterisation, and (c) service life prediction involving mathematical modelling and life testing.The applicability of the working scheme to be employed in the development of durability test procedures has been analysed for selective solar absorber surfaces and polymeric glazing materials in flat plate solar collectors. The examples show the great applicability of the general methodology for accelerated life testing. This will allow much shorter development cycle times for new products and will allow improvements to be identified and readily incorporated in new products prior to market introduction.

Specifically, the traditional dichotomy between Iguania (anoles, iguanas, chameleons, etc.) and Scleroglossa (skinks, geckos, snakes, etc.) has been correlated with major evolutionary shifts within Squamata. We present a molecular phylogenetic study of 69 squamate species using approximately 4600 (2876 parsimony-informative) base pairs (bp) of DNA sequence data from the nuclear genesRAG-1(∼⃒2750 bp) andc-mos(∼⃒360 bp) and the mitochondrialND2region (∼⃒1500 bp), sampling all major clades and most major subclades. Under our hypothesis, species previously placed in Iguania, Anguimorpha, and almost all recognized squamate families form strongly supported monophyletic groups. However, species previously placed in Scleroglossa, Varanoidea, and several other higher taxa do not form monophyletic groups. Iguania, the traditional sister group of Scleroglossa, is actually highly nested within Scleroglossa. This unconventional rooting does not seem to be due to long-branch attraction, base composition biases among taxa, or convergence caused by similar selective forces acting on nonsister taxa. Studies of functional tongue morphology and feeding mode have contrasted the similar states found inSphenodon(the nearest outgroup to squamates) and Iguania with those of Scleroglossa, but our findings suggest that similar states inSphenodonand Iguania result from homoplasy. Snakes, amphisbaenians, and dibamid lizards, limbless forms whose phylogenetic positions historically have been impossible to place with confidence, are not grouped together and appear to have evolved this condition independently. Amphisbaenians are the sister group of lacertids, and dibamid lizards diverged early in squamate evolutionary history. Snakes are grouped with iguanians, lacertiforms, and anguimorphs, but are not nested within anguimorphs.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10/02/Oct2004 Part 2 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2533 EP - 2536 SN - 00189499 AB - At cryogenic temperatures (∼ 10 K), undoped lead iodide (PbI2) has material and scintillation properties that are very attractive for positron emission tomorgraphy (PET). However, the PbI2 emissions are quenched at temperatures >40 K, so close optical coupling between the scintillator and photodetector requires a photodetector that also operates at cryogenic temperatures. This suggests the visible light photon counter (VLPC), which operates at similar temperatures and combines high gain and high quantum efficiency. We proximity couple (0.001 in air gap) PbI2 crystals with 1.0-2.5 mm dimensions to a 1 mm diameter VLPC and cool the system to 8.5 K. Signals with short (<10 ns) duration are observed. When excited with 511 keV photons, a coincidence timing resolution of 1.3 ns full-width at half-maximum is measured. While a clear photopeak is observed for 122 keV excitation, no clear photopeak is seen under 511 keV excitation (possibly due to the poor optical quality of the PbI2 crystals). While the present configuration must be scaled-up considerably, a cryogenic PbI2/VLPC combination may eventually become the basis for a practical time-of-flight PET camera.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10/02/Oct2004 Part 2 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2718 EP - 2718 SN - 00189499 AB - Anesthesia is currently required for positron emission tomography (PET) studies of the animal brain in order to eliminate motion artifacts. However, anesthesia profoundly affects the neurological state of the animal, complicating the interpretation of PET data. Furthermore, it precludes the use of PET to study the brain during normal behavior. The rat conscious animal PET tomograph (RatCAP) is designed to eliminate the need for anesthesia in rat brain studies. It is a miniaturized full-ring PET scanner that is attached directly to the head, imaging nearly the entire brain. RatCAP utilizes arrays of 2 mm × 2 mm LSO crystals coupled to matching avalanche photodiode arrays, which are in turn read out by full custom integrated circuits. Principal challenges have been addressed considering the physical constraints on size, weight, and heat generation in addition to the usual requirements of small-animal PET, such as high spatial resolution in the presence of parallax error. A partial prototype has been constructed and preliminary measurements and optimization completed. Realistic Monte Carlo simulations have also been carried out to optimize system performance, which is predicted to be competitive with existing microPET systems.

Semiconductor manufacturers can use a combination of design and/or process techniques to eliminate known radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths. However, unknown or critical radiation-induced parasitic leakage may still exist on fully processed ICs and it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to identify these leakage paths based on radiation induced parametric degradation. We show that light emission microscopy can be used to identify the location of radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths in ICs. This is illustrated by using light emission microscopy to find radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths in partially-depleted silicon on insulator static random-access memories (SRAMs). Once leakage paths were identified, modifications were made to the SRAM design to improve the total dose radiation hardness of the SRAMs. Light emission microscopy should prove to be an important tool for the development of future radiation hardened technologies and devices.

Among salt hydrates likely to be present, those of the MgSO4·nH2O series have many hydration states. Here we report the exposure of several of these phases to varied temperature, pressure and humidity to constrain their possible H2O contents under martian surface conditions. We found that crystalline structure and H2O content are dependent on temperature-pressure history, that an amorphous hydrated phase with slow dehydration kinetics forms at<1% relative humidity, and that equilibrium calculations may not reflect the true H2O-bearing potential of martian soils. Mg sulphate salts can retain sufficient H2O to explain a portion of the Odyssey observations. Because phases in the MgSO4·nH2O system are sensitive to temperature and humidity, they can reveal much about the history of water on Mars. However, their ease of transformation implies that salt hydrates collected on Mars will not be returned to Earth unmodified, and that accurate in situ analysis is imperative.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/10/07/ VL - 431 IS - 7009 M3 - Article SP - 669 EP - 672 SN - 00280836 AB - It is generally assumed that solid hydrogen will transform into a metallic alkali-like crystal at sufficiently high pressure. However, some theoretical models have also suggested that compressed hydrogen may form an unusual two-component (protons and electrons) metallic fluid at low temperature, or possibly even a zero-temperature liquid ground state. The existence of these new states of matter is conditional on the presence of a maximum in the melting temperature versus pressure curve (the‘melt line’). Previous measurements of the hydrogen melt line up to pressures of 44?GPa have led to controversial conclusions regarding the existence of this maximum. Here we report ab initio calculations that establish the melt line up to 200?GPa. We predict that subtle changes in the intermolecular interactions lead to a decline of the melt line above 90?GPa. The implication is that as solid molecular hydrogen is compressed, it transforms into a low-temperature quantum fluid before becoming a monatomic crystal. The emerging low-temperature phase diagram of hydrogen and its isotopes bears analogies with the familiar phases of3He and4He (the only known zero-temperature liquids), but the long-range Coulomb interactions and the large component mass ratio present in hydrogen would result in dramatically different properties.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from combustion sources fall into this category. Currently available ambient-air emission inventories of PAHs either fail to account for population-based activities, such as residential wood combustion (RWC) and motor vehicle (MV) activity, and/or report “total PAH” or particulate organic matter emissions, instead of individual compound emissions. We assess the degree of overlap between predicted concentrations from estimated emissions with measured concentrations. Our analysis is based on probabilistic analysis of measured outdoor air concentrations with those predicted from mass-balance models. Based on available information, we estimate the relative magnitude of emissions from three major sources of PAHs to outdoor air: (1) on-road MVs, including light-duty gasoline vehicles and diesel-powered buses and medium and heavy-duty trucks; (2) RWC; and (3) power generation from external combustion boilers. We use the CalTOX regional multimedia mass-balance model to evaluate our emissions estimates in rural and urban regions of the state of Minnesota, USA. We compare model estimates of outdoor PAH airborne concentrations with those reported by the Minnesota Children''s Pesticide Exposure Study (MNCPES). With these measured concentrations we probabilistically evaluate the reliability of our emissions estimates for specific PAHs. The median estimates of our predicted outdoor air concentrations agree within an order of magnitude of measured concentrations. For four representative PAHs, we obtain a reasonable degree of overlap between empirical and predicted distributions of outdoor air concentrations. Our combination of models, emissions estimates, and empirical concentration data estimate exposure in a manner that is more reliable than any of these tools alone. Thereby, we increase our confidence about our plausible ranges of emissions and predicted concentrations.

Here we show that some large-scale deletions of the non-coding DNA referred to as gene deserts can be well tolerated by an organism. We deleted two large non-coding intervals, 1,511 kilobases and 845 kilobases in length, from the mouse genome. Viable mice homozygous for the deletions were generated and were indistinguishable from wild-type littermates with regard to morphology, reproductive fitness, growth, longevity and a variety of parameters assaying general homeostasis. Further detailed analysis of the expression of multiple genes bracketing the deletions revealed only minor expression differences in homozygous deletion and wild-type mice. Together, the two deleted segments harbour 1,243 non-coding sequences conserved between humans and rodents (more than 100 base pairs, 70% identity). Some of the deleted sequences might encode for functions unidentified in our screen; nonetheless, these studies further support the existence of potentially‘disposable DNA’in the genomes of mammals.

The excess electron (e[sup -][sub c]) was excited through the e[sup -][sub c](p) ← e[sup -][sub c](s) transition with an ultrafast laser pulse, with subsequent evolution of the excited state monitored with photodetachment and photoelectron imaging. All clusters exhibited p-state population decay with concomitant s-state repopulation (internal conversion) on time scales ranging from 180 to 130 femtoseconds for (H[sub 2]O)[sub n][sup -] and 400 to 225 femtoseconds for (D[sub 2]O)[sub n][sup -]; the lifetimes decrease with increasing cluster sizes. Our results support the "nonadiabatic relaxation" mechanism for the bulk hydrated electron (e[sup -][sub aq]), which invokes a 50-femtosecond e[sup -][sub aq] (p) → e[sup -][sub aq] (s†) internal conversion lifetime.

T1 - Crystallization of charge holes in the spin ladder of Sr14Cu24O41. JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/10/28/ VL - 431 IS - 7012 M3 - Article SP - 1078 EP - 1081 SN - 00280836 AB - Determining the nature of the electronic phases that compete with superconductivity in high-transition-temperature (high- Tc) superconductors is one of the deepest problems in condensed matter physics. One candidate is the `stripe' phase, in which the charge carriers (holes) condense into rivers of charge that separate regions of antiferro magnetism. A related but lesser known system is the `spin ladder', which consists of two coupled chains of magnetic ions forming an array of rungs. A doped ladder can be thought of as a high-Tc material with lower dimensionality, and has been predicted to exhibit both superconductivity and an insulating `hole crystal' phase in which the carriers are localized through many-body interactions. The competition between the two resembles that believed to operate between stripes and superconductivity in high-Tc materials. Here we report the existence of a hole crystal in the doped spin ladder of Sr14Cu24O41 using a resonant X-ray scattering technique. This phase exists without a detectable distortion in the structural lattice, indicating that it arises from many-body electronic effects. Our measurements confirm theoretical predictions, and support the picture that proximity to charge ordered states is a general property of superconductivity in copper oxides.

The recent discovery that Ras•GTP is an allosteric activator of SOS indicated that the regulation of SOS is more complex than originally envisaged. We now present crystallographic and biochemical analyses of a construct of SOS that contains the Dbl homology-pleckstrin homology (DH-PH) and catalytic domains and show that the DH-PH unit blocks the allosteric binding site for Ras and suppresses the activity of SOS. SOS is dependent on Ras binding to the allosteric site for both a lower level of activity, which is a result of Ras•GDP binding, and maximal activity, which requires Ras•GTP. The action of the DH-PH unit gates a reciprocal interaction between Ras and SOS, in which Ras converts SOS from low to high activity forms as Ras•GDP is converted to Ras•GTP by SOS.

This experiment is designed to deeply probe several aspects of the Standard Model, the baseline particle physics theory for several decades. At the very least, BTeV will make very precise measurements of many Standard Model parameters. It is hoped that these precise measurements will point the way to a more fundamental theory of particle physics.

The impact of these activities is manifested in observed changes in temperature, precipitation, sea-level rise, melting of glaciers, air quality, health, and agriculture yields, to name a few. The obvious question to ask is the role that these different processes play in affecting climate and what action could one impose to curtail or constrain adverse human impacts on climate. Greenhouse gases have long been studied, as they play a major role in changing climate. But over the past 10-20 years, aerosols have emerged as the other big contenders in climate change studies. This review focuses on the current understanding of the effects of aerosols on climate, with an emphasis on the thermodynamical and indirect aerosol effects. We also examine available measurements that could be used to decipher the aerosol influence on climate, with an outlook on how the uncertainties in aerosol effects may impact future climate predictions and policy changes.

Transplants of C57BL cells grew poorly in (A × C57BL) F1 and in (C57BL × C3H) F1 and reciprocal hybrids, as compared with isogenic and allogeneic hosts, whereas C3H and A strain marrow grafts were successful in isogenic, F1 hybrid and backcross recipients. In segregating backcross progeny, i.e. in offspring from F1 hybrid females mated to C57BL males, the frequency of success or failure of the C57BL grafts suggested that the trait was controlled by a single pair of genetic determinants at an autosomal locus. The latter is apparently linked with, or part of, the H-2 region in the IXth linkage group. The experimental evidence suggested also that the failure of C57BL haemopoietic cell grafts in H-2 heterozygotes was not related to exhaustion of donor cells by excess of recipient isoantigen but rather to lack of expression in the heterozygotes of histocompatibility-related growth requirements yet undefined. These requirements are specific for haemopoietic cells, but not for skin grafts, and resulted most probably from the effect of genetic (inter-allelic) interaction involving H-2 or an H-2-linked locus.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1964/11// VL - 7 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 681 EP - 699 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00192805 AB - In addition to the usual serum precipitating antibody, immunized rats produce a thermolabile antibody that is able to sensitize mast ceils and cause damage to these cells on reacting with the specific antigen. Due to this property this antibody is called ‘mast cell sensitizing’ antibody (MCSAb). Like human reagins, it is destroyed by beating at 56° and when injected into homologous skin will remain at the site of injection for as long as 1 month. In contrast, the antibody disappears very quickly from serum when injected into recipient rats. Although its production can be induced in various ways, the administration of Bordetella pertussis organisms along with the antigen is particularly effective. MCSAb seems to be the product of a primary response, since its production is prevented or very much reduced by previous or additional contacts with antigen. The mechanism of passive sensitization of mast cells with MCSAb was studied by incubating pieces of rat mesentery with antigen in vitro, using antigen-induced mast cell damage or histamine release as a measure of sensitization. Sensitization increases with time of contact between cells and antibody and can attain a maximum within the first few minutes depending upon antibody concentration. Sensitizations at 37° and 4° proceed at about the same speed. Nonspecific γ-globulin inhibits sensitization with MCSAb when used in large amounts. Rabbit, rat, human and bovine γ-globulin slowed down sensitization, whereas horse γ-globulin was without effect. Sensitization with MCSAb can be completely reversed by washing the sensitized mesentery in Tyrode's solution. The time required to remove MCSAb by washing was inversely proportional to the time of contact between cells and antiserum during sensitization. Anaphylactic phenomena induced with MCSAb seem to be primarily due to histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine release. The possibility of a relationship between the methods of immunization leading to the production of mast cell sensitizing antibody and the establishment of a delayed hypersensitivity is considered.

Delayed hypersensitivity, preceded the appearance of ‘mast cell sensitizing’ antibody (MCSAb) in those animals which were only fully susceptible to anaphylaxis when both delayed and immediate reactions had reached their maximum. Passive anaphylaxis with MCSAb was fatal only when transferred to actively sensitized rats at a time when the animals had delayed cutaneous reactions but were not yet fully susceptible to anaphylaxis. It is suggested that anaphylaxis in rats is due to an additive or synergistic effect between immediate and delayed hypersensitivities.

It also has many applications in numerical analysis, but it is not widely used because the existing algorithms are fairly complicated and require considerable storage space. A simple extension has been found to the conventional orthogonalization method for inverting nonsingular matrices, which gives the generalized inverse with little extra effort and with no additional storage requirements. The algorithm gives the generalized inverse for any m by n matrix A, including the special case when m = n and A is nonsingular and the case when m > n and rank (A) = n. In the first case the algorithm gives the ordinary inverse of A. In the second case the algorithm yields the ordinary least squares transformation matrix [ATA)-1AT and has the advantage of avoiding the loss of significance which results in forming the product AT explicitly.

The filters permit free diffusion of 19S and 7S antibodies into ‘empty’ chambers in vivo and in vitro. Pronase treatment of the chamber dissolves the clot and frees cells attached to the inner surfaces. This permits almost complete recovery of the chamber culture cells. Chamber cultures can be readily transferred from one host to another and kept in vitro at room temperature for at least 6 hours without any loss of activity. In vivo diffusion problems arise after 1 month of culture, most probably due to excessive growth of peritoneal cells on the outer surface of the filters; this limitation can be overcome by serial in vivo transfer of the chamber and wiping the outer surface at the time of transfer. The diffusion chamber culture method as described here fulfills all the pre-requisites of an assay system with which one can perform precise cytokinetic analysis of antibody response.

JO - Advances in Polymer Science JF - Advances in Polymer Science Y1 - 1967/01/02/ M3 - Book Chapter SP - 233 EP - 260 SN - 00653195 AB - The object of this paper is to lay the foundations of the Theory of Dilute Macromolecular Solutions in a unified, simplified, and yet rigorous manner. It also aims to acquaint chemists and physicists with a field of rapidly increasing significance, in view of possible applications to biophysics (and biochemistry). The Introduction gives a brief outline of the historical development of macromolecular solution theory. Roughly, one can distinguish between (a) lattice- and (b) gas-type theories, just as in the theory of liquids. The former, because of their apparent simplicity, have enjoyed great popularity for a long time among polymer chemists. However, lately, again just as for liquids, the gas-type approach has been proven to be more fundamental. Our general approach is a proper adaptation and generalization of the gas-type theories of McMillan and Mayer and of Kirkwood and Buff. These were originally developed for simple (monomer) solutions. We use the cluster development of McMillan and Mayer, which itself is an adaptation of the original (Ursell)-Mayer cluster development. We then combine this procedure with the distribution function approach of Kirkwood and Buff. Section 2 brings the cluster development for the osmotic pressure. Section 3 generalizes the approach of Section 2 to distribution functions, including a new and simple derivation of the cluster expansion of the pair distribution function. Section 4 presents a new expression for the chemical potential of solvents in dilute solutions. Section 5 contains an application of our general solution theory to compact macromolecular molecules. Section 6 contains the second osmotic virial coefficient of flexible macromolecules, followed in Section 7 by concluding remarks.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1967/08// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 125 EP - 140 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00192805 AB - Attempts were made to immunize F1 hybrid mice to their inbred parental strains by active immunization with either living or dead parental cells and by adoptive transfer of isogenic (F1) lymph node cells to irradiated hybrids that subsequently received parental bone marrow. Cumulative mortality studies and erythrocyte serotyping revealed that many mice survived and retained their parental grafts for long periods of time. In most experiments reported here, 59Fe uptake by erythrocytes and spleens of chimeras 1 week after marrow transplantation was used as a measure of erythropoiesis and thereby of success or failure of the marrow graft. Pre-treatment (‘pre-immunization’)of hybrids with parental spleen cells produced no evidence of specific immunization. However, pre-treatment with spleen cells from parent 1 was detrimental to subse- quently transplanted marrow from parent 2 and vice-versa. Adoptive transfer of viable F1 lymph node cells failed to decrease growth of parental cells in irradiated F1 hybrids. These findings indicate that the poor-growth phenomenon of particular parent-F1 combinations cannot be explained in terms of classical immune rejection of parental cells by F1 hybrids. Instead, growth of parental cells in the F1 environment is inhibited or delayed.

However, the primary response was meagre and negative in the cell-transfer and diffusion-chamber culture systems of dispersed spleen cells, respectively. In contrast, no significant difference could be demonstrated between heat-treated and untreated HGG preparations in their capacity to induce a secondary response in intact mice. Furthermore, good secondary responses were obtained in both the cell-transfer and diffusion-chamber culture systems. This suggests differences between primed and non-primed spleen cells in their requirements of cellular organization for the initiation of antibody response. Both the primary and the secondary responses were found to be antigen-dose dependent, although the optimum antigen dose range was broad. Moreover, doses of heat- treated HGG (≤ 10-12 g) lower than that reported for the excellent immunogen, flagella, were sufficient to induce secondary responses, thereby emphasizing the utility of HGG for studying the role of antigen in the initiation of primary and secondary antibody responses.

The general design of the hardware arrangement and the software components and functions of such a system are based on a planned configuration of dual CDC 6600's that share one million words of extended core storage. In the generalization of such a design, special emphasis is placed on estimating expected gains when compared with the traditional configuration of separate and independent computers without extended core storage. An observation is made on the use of conventional, slower speed, random access storage devices in place of the faster memory.

Isologous mouse 7S serum protein labelled with 125I was used as the control. The results of these studies support the following conclusions: (1) Antigen retention in germinal centres during the primary immune reaction is a dynamic process. For some antigens there may be opsonins available at the the time of injection which promote initial localization in germinal centres. However, the continued localization of antigen over weeks and months is a function of specific antibody production. (2) For some period of time, germinal centres are specific to the antigen that stimulated their development, and eventually these centres will respond to a different antigen. (3)Antigen persisting in germinal centres is functional in the development of the secondary immune potential.

It has been pointed out elsewhere that if relative error is used as the measure of goodness of fit, optimal results are not obtained when the initial approximation is a best fit. It is shown here that if, instead, the so-called logarithmic error is used, then a best initial fit is optimal for both types of error. Moreover, use of the logarithmic error appears to simplify the problem of determining the optimal initial approximation.

The system uses a rotating refresh memory to feed standard television monitors. To produce a stereographic display the computer calculates the projected video images of an object, viewed from two separated paints. The resulting video maps are stored on separate refresh bands of the rotating memory. The two output signals are connected to separate color guns of a color television monitor, thus creating superimposed image on the screen. Optical separation is achieved by viewing the image through color filters. The display is interactive and can be viewed by a large group of people at the same time.

(1) Any value which is permitted in some context of the language is permissible in any other meaningful context. In particular, functions and labels are permissible results of functions and values of variables. (2) Assignment and indirect addressing are formalized by introducing values, called references, which in turn possess other values. The assignment operation always affects the relation between some reference and its value. (3) All compound data structures are treated as functions. (4) Type declarations are not permitted. The functional approach to data structures and the use of references insure that any process which accepts some data structure will accept any logically equivalent structure, regards less of its internal representation. More generally, any data structure may be implicit; i.e. it may be specified by giving an arbitrary algorithm for computing or accessing its components. The existence of label variables permits the construction of co-routines, quasi-parallel processes, and other unorthodox control mechanisms. A variety of programming examples illustrates the generality of the language. Limitations and possible extensions are discussed briefly.

The paper "Greatest Common Divisor of n Integers and Multipliers" presents an algorithm which calculates the greatest common divisor, IGCD, of n integers. Details of the method and comparisons to other algorithms are also given. The algorithm is a new version of the Euclidean algorithm for n integers. The n-1 calculations of the greatest common divisor of two integers is accomplished by means of a modified version of the Blankinship algorithm. The paper "Exponential Integral Ei (x)" presents the results of one phase of research carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under Contract NAS7-100, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It presents an algorithm which was compiled and executed without any modification on a UNIVAC 1108 computer. An unfortunate precedent has been set in several recent algorithms of using an illegal FORTRAN construction.

The optimal dose of endotoxin (1 µg/ml) gave a six-fold increase in the number of plaque-forming cells per 106 viable cells, after 6 days of culture, if it was present from the 12th to the 24th hour after antigen. There was little or no enhancement when endotoxin was given at other times during the 6 days of culture. The response was depressed when the suspension was incubated with endotoxin before the addition of red cells. The periods of RNA and DNA synthesis were determined by adding tritiated uridine and tritiated thymidine, respectively, for 24-hour periods during the 6 days of culture. Synthesis of RNA occurred throughout the culture period whereas DNA synthesis was not detected before 24 hours of culture. We found that the adjuvant action of the endotoxin which was maximum during the 1st day of culture, was associated with an initial phase of RNA synthesis, before DNA synthesis could be detected.

JO - Scandinavian Journal of Dental Research JF - Scandinavian Journal of Dental Research Y1 - 1970/11// VL - 78 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 374 EP - 377 SN - 0029845X AB - Glucocorticoid administration is known to have an inhibitive effect on collagen activity. It can be assumed that this effect also takes place in the periodontal membrane (PDM). The purpose of the present investigation was to investigate whether this reduction in PDM collagen activity is reflected in the autoradiographic grain count score. Ten young adult male squirrel monkeys were injected with 3H-proline and sacrificed 48 hours after the injection. Five of the animals were injected with Ultra-cortenol® 72 and 24 hours prior to sacrifice. Grain count analysis was carried out on autoradiographs from sections of premolars, and skin biopsies were analyzed with respect to NaCl soluble 3H-activity. In the skin the activity found in the soluble fraction was lower in the Ultracortenol-treated than in the control animals (319 ± 56 cpm/mg compared to 629 ± 70 cpm/mg). Autoradiographic grain counts were carried out over the periodontal membrane, the average number of grains was lower in the Ultracortenol-injected than in the control animals. This was true for all areas of the periodontal mem-brane examined. The significance of the autoradiographic grain count score from the PDM following 3H-proline injection is discussed. It is concluded that this parameter is reasonably valid for the assessment of the PDM collagen activity.

JO - Journal of Investigative Dermatology JF - Journal of Investigative Dermatology Y1 - 1972/02// VL - 58 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 95 SN - 0022202X AB - Metabolism of labeled enantiomers of tryptophan, kynurenine and hydroxykynurenine into C14O2 and nine tryptophan metabolites was studied in five patients with scleroderma. The D-isomers of tryptophan, kynurenine and hydroxykyurenine were poorly converted to CO2 but did give rise to small amounts of activity in several of the urinary metabolites. These observations suggest that man may have D-amino acid oxidase and hydroxylase enzyme systems capable of converting small amounts of the D-isomers into metabolites found in the urine. However, on the basis of previously published animal data, which showed a delayed absorption of the D-isomers from the intestine, it is not possible to exclude metabolites arising from action of the intestinal flora. With both the D- and L-isomers, the C14 activity isolated in known urinary metabolites accounted for only a small part of the total urinary C14 activity. In several patients given 2 gms of L-tryptophan with C14 labeled tryptophan, expiratory C14O2 was depressed and urinary labeled quinolinic acid activity was elevated when compared to patients in previous studies. These factors suggest that some scleroderma patients may have an alteration of a metabolic step in the pathway after hydroxyanthranilic acid. Conclusive evidence of a relationship between amount of C14O2 produced after a 2 gm load of L-tryptophan and metabolic abnormalities was not observed. The experiments showed that the racemic mixture of a labeled tryptophan compound could be used for a C14O2 metabolism study, but that the use of pure, natural L-isomers is necessary for meaningful results in the study of tryptophan metabolism in man.

Because of suggestions that phytochrome action involves changes in membrane, permeability, particularly uptake and efflux in pisum sativum epicotyl sections which were equally de-etiolated yet differed three-fold in their phytochrome contents. Although dependent on the metabolic integrity of cell membranes (as shown by respiratory inhibitors ) the selective uptake of potassium in this tissue is not under phytochrome contents. Experiments were also conducted to see whether a three-fold difference in phytochrome content affects chlorophyll synthesis in Pisum. Differences in chlorophyll synthesis observed can be related to the effectiveness of the pretreatments on eliminating the lag phase, not to their differences in phytochrome; The failure to find any correlation with the amount or state of 'bulk' phytochrome in these and previous experiments indicates that no function of this material is yet known.

Results were obtained using untreated and trypsinized syngeneic red blood cells (RBC) to detect anti-RBC autoantibodies in the plasma of aged mice. The occurrence of these autoantibodies in mice appears to be independent of strain, average life-span, and rearing conditions and their appearance in mice free of obvious autoimmune diseases suggests that they are not associated exclusively with such diseases. However, the frequency of mice with autoantibodies increases with advancing age and tends to be higher in females. These autoantibodies are distinct from natural heteroantibodies, but they are reactive against RBC from other mouse strains. Their activity is temperature sensitive, to the extent that they are more reactive at 22°C than at 37°C. Their striking affinity for trypsinized RBC suggests that their activity may be against inaccessible, nonpeptidic determinants, most likely of carbohydrate moiety. The autoantibodies are primarily IgM immunoglobulins, and in some cases they can be IgA immunoglobulins. RBC from young and old mice show the same immunogenic potential, so changes in the RBC due to somatic variations are unlikely to be the cause for their origin. The possible origin and significance of these autoantibodies are discussed in the light of current evidence.

The arithmetic systems studied are 6-digit hexadecimal and 22-digit binary floating point number representations combined with the usual chop and round modes of arithmetic with various numbers of guard digits, and with a modified round mode with guard digits. In a certain sense, arithmetic systems differing only in their use of binary or hexadecimal number representations are shown to be approximately statistically equivalent in accuracy. Further, the usual round mode with guard digits is shown to be statistically superior in accuracy to the usual chop mode in all cases save one. The modified round mode is found to be superior to the chop mode in all cases.

JO - Immunology JF - Immunology Y1 - 1974/01// VL - 26 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 36 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00192805 AB - The proliferative activity and rate of cell renewal of, and incorporation of tritiated nucleosides into, macrophages, reticuloendothelial cells and fibroblasts were studied in lymph nodes of mice before and after a regional second antigenic stimulus with tetanus toxoid. Histological and autoradiographic examinations revealed that in non-stimulated nodes of animals primed 6 months previously, none of the above cell-types was found to synthesize DNA. Throughout a period of 10 days following secondary antigenic stimulation via the hind leg foot pads, only four of approximately five thousand of these cells counted in the popliteal lymph nodes of thirty-four mice were labelled initially by [³H]thymidine. Incorporation of [³H]cytidine could, therefore, be interpreted as reflecting almost exclusively RNA synthesis. Mean grain counts of non-proliferating cells 1 hour after injection of this radioactive precursor started to rise first in small lymphocytes, reached a peak around 6 hours following the booster injection of antigen and returned to slightly elevated values at 12 hours. At this time, the mean labelling intensity of macrophages, reticuloendothelial cells and fibroblasts had barely begun to increase. Peak values for the latter cell-types were attained only on the third day after secondary antigenic stimulation. These findings are interpreted as indicating consecutive waves of enhanced RNA synthesis first in lymphocytes and then in macrophages or the other elements mentioned above. This lends further support to the hypothesis that, following a second injection of tetanus toxoid, elevated rates of RNA synthesis in macrophages are not a prerequisite for triggering lymphocytes to enter proliferation and differentiation. Macrophages having ingested various materials showed significantly higher mean grain counts than cells not containing cytoplasmic inclusions. One early response of the macrophage system to the booster injection of antigen consisted of a more rapid and increased turnover, i.e. replacement of unlabelled by labelled cells with increasing time after injection of [³H]thymidine. The results are discussed in relation to macrophage functions in immune responses and possible cellular transformations in the macrophage series.

The study of pH and ionic effects indicates that these separations occur by anion repulsion, not by cation exchange. Cation exchange, previously held responsible for these separations, is inoperative since nucleotides at acid pH values bear net negative charges, as do the fixed anions of the resin. The separations can be explained by anion-exclusion chromatography, which involves two factors: repulsion between identically charged solute and resin ions, and partition between aqueous eluant and organic resin matrix. The results indicate that separations by anion exclusion areas good as or better than those by anion-exchange chromatography. Anion-exchange chromatography has also been reinvestigated to develop systems that can be used to separate the four major nucleotides in single eluants and to separate most nucleosides, nucleotides and other RNA hydrolysis products in one analysis. The ion-exclusion separations are compared with those of anion-exchange chromatography. The advantages and disadvantages of beth methods are discussed. A typical example of the analysis of a nucleoside-nueleotide mixture derived from the total hydrolysis of tRNAs for the assay of the base comparison and for the analysis of terminal end groups is described.

This paper discusses some of the features and instructions of this language. The use of this language permits easy extension of automated theorem-proving programs to include new strategies and/or new inference rules. Such extendability will permit general experimentation with the various alternative systems.

There was about a 4-fold decline with age, of which about 2-fold could be accounted for by the decrease in relative numbers of immunocompetent precursor cell unites. The terminally differentiated progeny cells of antigen-stimulated precursor cells of young mice. Thus, it would appear that a decrease in the prolifer-ative and transforming capacities of antigen-stimulated precursor cells of old mice can account for the other 2-fold decline with age in the cytolytic activity. Cytolytic activity may not be the limiting function in resistance to tumour formation. This was indicated by the observation that resistance to allogeneic tumour cell challenge declines with age by as much as 500-fold in mice, showing only a 4-fold decline in their cytolytic activity.

Skin tumor development was studied in groups of hairless mice treated with repeated applications of DMBA and maintained on either a control diet or one supplemented with 0.05% phenobarbital. The feeding of phenobarbital concurrently with the application of DMBA delayed the appearance of papillomas initially, but the suppression of the ultimate tumor yield was variable, and appeared to be dependent on the dose of the carcinogen and the age-dependent toxicity response of the mice. Phenobarbital was ineffective when DMBA was applied in sufficiently large amounts to elicit marked cutaneous damage, or when dietary phenobarbital was started 1 week after the cessation of the DMBA treatment. Although the dietary administration of phenobarbital caused an apparent decrease in the final incidence of papillomas and sarcomas, the feeding did not appear to modify the macroscopic skin response or change the incidence of carcinomas.

Steadily, man evolved from the lesser forms of life because of or in spite of his natural background-radiation environment. This study is an attempt to determine to what extent these background radiations are responsible for human disease, namely leukemia. Dose rate data were compared with data on all forms of leukemia in the 50 United States for four population subgroups. For the total U.S., no relation between background radiation and leukemia is apparent. A positive correlation appears, however, if various states are deleted from the analysis. It appears that conditions relative to populations and their environment could mask a radiation effect if in fact one is present.

Upon infection at the nonpermissive temperature, both the revertant and the Hfr strain support normal. phage replication while the temperature-sensitive mutant does not. However, when infection is carried out at a permissive temperature and the temperature is shifted up after infection, phage synthesis occurs in the temperature-sensitive mutant also, but in lesser quantity than in the revertant strain. Analysis of intracellular labeled phage DNA indicates.: (a) parental replicative form DNA synthesis is not dependent on DNA function; (b) progeny replicative form DNA synthesis is strongly inhibited in the temperature-sensitive dnaA mutant at the nonpermissive temperature; (c) progeny single-strand DNA synthesis does not absolutely require dnaA function; (d) progeny single-strand DNA is present in the circular form. The implication of the host DNA replication in M 13 DNA synthesis is discussed.

Pooled young spleens, pooled old spleens, and individual old spleens were analysed. The response of pure young spleen cells was always higher than that of pure old spleen cells (∼30 times). The responses of mixtures were either less than (i.e. reduced; frequency ∼65 per cent), comparable to (i.e. additive; frequency ∼10 per cent), or greater than (i.e. elevated; frequency ∼30 per cent) the sum of the responses given by equivalent numbers of pure young and pure old spleen cells. The reduced response was observed in mixtures containing cells from histologically normal old spleens, old spleens with tumours and old spleens with atrophic follicles. Additive and elevated responses were observed only in mixtures containing cells from histologically normal old spleens. The reduced response is explicable in terms of excessive numbers of suppressor cells in old spleens that can prevent young immunocompetent cells from responding maximally to the test antigen. The additive response can be accounted for by a reduction in number of immunocompetent cells in old spleens and/or a decrease in their functional efficiency. The elevated response can be explained by a reduction in number of at least one type of immunocompetent cell in old spleens that exists in excess in young spleens. These results indicate that there are several types of cellular changes responsible for the decrease in humoral immune activity in old mice. Pooling of old spleens, as was commonly done in the past, should therefore be discouraged. Not only might it selectively favour the expression of old spleens with an excess of supressor cells but it conceivably could result in an elevated response.

When applied to mouse skin, 3H-labeled dexamethasone remained associated, after extensive dialysis, with epidermal and dermal cytosol, microsomes, mitochondria, and chromatin. The specific activity of dexamethasone binding to these fractions was from 2 to 5 times as high in the epidermis as in the dermis. Epidermal chromatin had the highest specific activity of binding. Dexamethasone was not associated with the cytosol protein receptor which was previously found to specifically bind tumor promoters and polycyclic hydrocarbon carcinogens.

Within 24 hr of the first exposure to NO2, the response was characterized by a marked increase in [3H]thymidine labeling in the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveolar ducts, but not in the trachea or the peripheral alveoli. If, after the first NO2 exposure, subsequent exposures were repeated daily, no further stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed in any part of the respiratory tract. However, if the interval between the first and subsequent exposures was 2–3 days rather than 1 day, stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed in the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveolar ducts for up to 21 NO2 exposures. A significantly greater increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed when the interval between subsequent exposures was extended to 7 days. However, no repeated exposure, whether at 2–3 or 7 day intervals, was as effective as the first NO2 exposure in stimulating incorporation of [3H]thymidine.

This technique is uniquely suited for compounds labile to air and light and for resolving positional isomers of phenolic or other types of oxygenated metabolites of this carcinogen. This procedure has been utilized to separate and compare benzo[a]pyrene activation and detoxification products between rat, mouse, and hamster hepatic microsomes and mouse and hamster embryo cell cultures. While metabolite profiles exhibited the same types of derivatives, marked quantitative variation was observed. Microsomal preparation produced large amounts of noncarcinogenic phenols, while intact cell metabolism favored diol formation. These results are in agreement with reactivation of metabolic diols as substrates for further activation to a more proximate carcinogenic species of benzo[a]pyrene and caution against extrapolating metabolic results from any single test system to other species or tissues.

The Bank stores in a uniform format atomic co-ordinates and partial bond connectivities, as derived from crystallographic studies. Text included in each data entry gives pertinent information for the structure at hand (e.g. species from which the molecule has been obtained, resolution of diffraction data, literature citations and specifications of secondary structure). In addition to atomic co-ordinates and connectivities, the Protein Data Bank stores structure factors and phases, although these latter data are not placed in any uniform format. Input of data to the Bank and general maintenance functions are carried out at Brookhaven National Laboratory. All data stored in the Bank are available on magnetic tape for public distribution, from Brookhaven (to laboratories in the Americas), Tokyo (Japan), and Cambridge (Europe and worldwide). A master file is maintained at Brookhaven and duplicate copies are stored in Cambridge and Tokyo. In the future, it is hoped to expand the scope of the Protein Data Bank to make available co-ordinates for standard structural types (e.g. α-helix, RNA double-stranded helix) and representative computer programs of utility in the study and interpretation of macromolecular structures.

Preexposure to NO 2 protects against mortality from formation of excessive pulmonary edema (tolerance) and, depending on the preexposure schedule, may or may not protect against the cytotoxic effects of NO 2 in the lung. Measurement of DNA synthesis in hamster lung was used to study the question of whether the more subtle cytoiogical injury induced by NO 2 is mediated by a system that also exhibits tolerance. It was found that when hamsters are preexposed daily to 10 ppm NO 2 , they develop tolerance for normally lethal concentrations of NO 2 , are protected against further cytoiogical injury from 10 ppm NO 2 , but are not protected from the cytotoxic effects of NO 2 at concentrations greater than 10 ppm. Animals exposed weekly to 10 ppm NO 2 are not protected from further cytoiogical injury induced by weekly exposures to 10ppm NO 2 , but do develop tolerance for lethal concentrations of NO 2 . Thus, the data indicate that induction of tolerance to NO 2 does not necessarily protect the cell populations of the lung from the cytotoxic effects of NO 2 .

The method provides a simple, sensitive, and quantitative index of synergism, antagonism, and additivity, and it has been demonstrated experimentally in rats by determining the acute lethality of combinations of cadmium, mercury, and lead salts. In a combination of two metal salts, the dose of one metal of the pair was fixed at or near the no‐effect level while the dose of the second metal was Increased until the entire dose‐response curve was obtained. To evaluate interactions of the three metals, the previous pair of metals were kept fixed at their combined extrapolated LD1 level, and the third metal was increased. The statistical treatment of the data employed a computer program that did not involve probit transformations, but rather the approximate linear relationship between the fractional response and the logarithm of the dose. A particular combination could be synergistic, antagonistic, or additive, depending on the relative doses employed. Generally, a combination was synergistic when the most toxic member was present at or near its LD1 dose in the presence of the much less toxic member; the same combination was protective when the least toxic member was present at or near its LD1 dose. The results clarify apparently contradictory reports regarding the biological effects of metal combinations. The application of the testing procedure to combinations of mutagens is described, and an example is cited involving, for a particular bacterial mutagen, a combination of N ‐methyl‐N’‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine with ethylmethanesulfonate.

(3) The respiration rates of current year twigs and older branches followed a similar pattern of change during the rowing season. Changes in respiratory quotients agreed well with expected changes in respiratory substrate, based on the phenology of yellow poplar.

Analysis of the metals was completed on solutions of wet ashed or dry ashed samples with a single beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Despite different inputs of the trace metals there were no significant differences in the concentration of Cu or Zn in the biota between the two sites. This was postulated to be due to physiological control of these metals. However, Cd and Pb concentrations were higher in the biota and substrate at the high input site. No accumulation of Cd or Pb occurred at higher trophic levels. Cu and Zn concentrations were similar for all biota with the exception of crayfish and snails which had higher Cu and Zn concentrations, respectively.

Upon centrifugation through glycerol gradients, RNA polymerase II sediments as a single band with an apparent sedimentation constant of 15 S. No contamination with RNA polymerases I or III could be detected when the activity of purified RNA polymerase II was assayed in the presence of high concentrations of α-amanitin. Analysis of purified RNA polymerase II by nondenattiring and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that this enzyme exists in multiple forms. They were designated IIO, IIA, and IIB. It is suggested that each form has a subunit of Mr = 140000 as well as smaller polypeptides in common. They differ, however, in the molecular weights of their largest subunits which is 220000 in form IIO, 200000 in form IIA, and 180000 in form IIB. These large subunits were labelled with 125I, digested with trypsin, and tryptic digests were compared by two-dimensional analysis on thin-layer plates [Elder et al. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 6510–6515]. Fingerprints of tryptic digests from the polypeptides with Mr = 220000, Mr = 200000, and Mr = 180000 were similar. It is, therefore, suggested that these subunits are structurally related. A tryptic digest was also produced from the subunit with Mr = 140000. Its fingerprint was found to yield a considerably different distribution of peptides as compared to those from the three large subunits.

JO - Physiologia Plantarum JF - Physiologia Plantarum Y1 - 1979/09// VL - 47 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 56 EP - 60 SN - 00319317 AB - The respiration rate of heterotrophic Lemna paucicostata Hegelm. 6746 cultures at 26-27°C and given a brief pulse of red light, assumes patterns with properties dependent on the nitrogen source supplied. In a search for conditions specifically affecting features of those patterns expressing photoperiodic timing, their amplitudes have been measured as relative peak height (RPH) -- the increased height at the daily peak as a proportion of the average daily minimum -- at both 21°C and 28°C. On nitrate, ammonium or aspartate medium, RPH is reduced roughly 70% at 21°C as compared to 28°C, but on nitrogen-deficient medium the reduction is only 20-30%. Yet growth and the actual intensity of respiration are not differently temperature sensitive on NO3 and N-deficient media. Nor does RPH itself correlate with growth rate. Previous evidence indicates that patterns on NO3 and NH4 media reflect photoperiodic timing and that those on aspartate and N- deficient media do not; hence the temperature sensitivity of RPH does not correlate with whether or not a pattern reflects photoperiodic timing. However, different daily patterns are elicited by pulses of red or far-red on NO3, NH4, and aspartate media but not on the N-deficient. Hence the temperature sensitivity of RPH does correlate with the degree to which the patterns distinguish between red and far-red, which is to say between high and low levels of Pfr-phytochrome. This suggests that high temperature sensitivity in RPH reflects a reaction limited by N assimilation and saturating only at relatively high levels of Pfr.

Embryos were exposed to varying concentrations of sour water, and the number of deaths and abnormals as well as motility, pigmentation, and stage of development were monitored. Increases in toxicity and teratogenicity were directly related to both concentration and time of exposure. The sour water also caused a reduction in motility, pigmentation, and rate of embryonic development.

Specimens were analyzed by autoradiography and scintillation counting at various times after the injection of tritiated thymidine or tritiated proline. In the non-cornified epithelium, the labeling index in the proliferative compartment at 1 hr was 15.5%; in the entire cell population, it was 5.8% at 1 hr, 10.4% at 24 hr, and 20.2% at 72 hr. The leading edge of labeled cells reached the surface by 96 hr. In the cornified epithelium, the labeling index in the proliferative compartment was 8.7% at 1 hr; in the entire nucleated cell population, it was 4.2% at 1 hr, 9.2% at 24 hr, and 12.1% at 96 hr. The leading edge of labeled cells reached the stratum corneum by 96 hr and the surface by 144 hr. It was concluded that renewal occurs at a more rapid rate in the non-cornified than in the cornified epithelium under study.

Mature plants of J. gardneri were pigmented, contained "typical" red algal chloroplasts when viewed by electron microscopy, and were capable of photosynthesis. Both J. gardneri and L. spectabilis incorporated [SUP14]C-label from NaH[SUP14]CO[SUB3] into similar compounds, including sugars (floridoside, isofloridoside, galactose, glucose) and amino acids (alanine, aspartic acid, glutomic acid, glycine, serine). Translocation of [SUP14]C-labeled photosynthetic products between mature J. gardneri and its host did not occur. This research suggests that mature individuals of J. gardneri are obligate epiphyte.

In contrast to reports in which several cutaneous alterations were totally or partially ascribed to vitamin A deficiency in humans, some other reports have described very mild or no skin lesions in experimental hypovitaminosis. The absence of cutaneous changes was probably due to the short life-span of the experimental animals. The objective of the present study was to describe the morphological and ultramorphological characteristics of these lesions.

The model, which treats congestion explicitly in the flow equations, gives rise to nonlinear, nonconvex mathematical programming problems. It has been shown for a piecewise linear version of this model that a global optimum is contained in the set of optimal solutions of a certain linear program. This paper presents a sufficient condition for optimality which implies that a global optimum can be obtained by successively optimizing at most N + 1 objective functions for the linear program, where N is the number of time periods in the planning horizon. Computational results are reported to indicate the efficiency of this approach.

The acylation and deacylation rate constants for the D-isomer are 1/2.5 of those for the L-isomer. Slow rates of deacylation of the two substrates made is possible to prepare the pair of enantiomeric acyl-trypsins. Circular dichroic (CD) spectra of the purified acyl-typsins revealed that the two extrinsic chromophores are somewhat differently oriented in the chiral environment of the active site, although both chromophores could couple intermolecularly with similar intrinsic chromophores near the active site. When p-amidinophenol was added, not only was the deacylation rate of N2Ph-DAla-trypsin noticeably increased, but also the transient CD sprectrum of the enzyme derivative changed markedly in comparison with that of the L-derivative. The observations indicate that the two enantiomeric acyl groups at the active site are situated in different microenvironments.

The quaternary structure of multisubunit biomolecules can be studied by this new method if total reconstitution works in a quantitative way and if extensive replacement of C-bound hydrogen (H) by deuterium (2H) is possible. A substitution of the selected subunits by their fully deuterated analogues was used for the analysis of the overall shapes of the core subunits α2, β and βʹ in situ and for the determination of the intersubunit centre-to-centre distances. THe contrast between the buffer and the remaining ‘hydrogenated’ enzyme vanished if the buffer contains 42% 2H2O (matching of scattering length densities). The isotopic hybridization of the enzyme fulfils the conditions of isomorphous replacement as required: molecular functions, like enzyme activity, were completely preserved. The orientations of the core subunits within the holoenzyme were derived by comparing theoretical and experimental pair distance distribution functions, P(r), obtained from the scattering intensity differences of the pair-labelled (e.g. both β and βʹ labelled) and both mono-labelled molecules by direct Fourier transformations. Additional, the subunit shapes were defined by P(r) analyses. The arrangement of the stable core structure within the holoenzyme, which contains σ as a dissociable factor, is presented in a three-dimensional model [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of European Journal of Biochemistry is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In addition to the centre-to-centre distances d between the core subunits α 2, β and βʹ presented in the preceding paper, the values of between initiation factor σ and α (8.4 ± 1.6 nm), β (4.4 ± 2.2 nm) and βʹ (10.7 ± 1.5 nm) were derived from R of σ (4.1 ± 0.3 nm) in situ and of the pairs α2 – σ (6.1 ± 0.4 nm), β – σ (5.6 ± 0.3 nm) and βʹ – σ (7.5 ± 0.4 nm) within the holoenzyme (α2β βʹσ). The structural parameters of the subunits within their molecular complex are accessible for neutron small-angle scattering measurements using labelling of the different subunits (deuteration), total reconstitution of isotopic hybrids, scattering length density matching of‘hydrogenated’ molecular parts and extended exposure times because of weak scattering effects. The overall shape of σ bound to core enzyme (α2ββʹ) proved to be identical (within experimental resolution) with σ in the isolated state measured recently by X-ray small-angle scattering. The refined shape of isolated σ was reduced to an ellipsoid which was orientated with respect to the core structure (α2 — β — βʹ) in a ’space-filling’ way around the position of the σ centre obtained by triangulation. The complete subunit arrangement of holoenzyme is shown in a three-dimensional model.

The drug action was evaluated 3 days after being implanted subcutaneously. The response of the epidermis and specially of the basal cells to the drug alone and in combination with x-radiation was studied. The ultramorphological analysis as well as quantitative data on epidermal thickness and keratinocyte volume showed that high doses of misonidazole impair the usual lost-irradiation epidermal reaction, thus enhancing the involutional effects of radiation and inhibiting radiation-damage repair, even under conditions of normal oxygenation.

Photoreactivating enzyme has been found in human tissues and human cells in culture; human cells in culture can photoreactivate cellular dimers, and can mediate photoreactivation of Herpes (human fibroblasts) and Epstein-Barr virus (human leukocytes). Measurements of pyrimidine dimer formation and repair in human skin indicate that detectable numbers of dimers are formed at 1 minimal erythemal dose, that the dimers are rapidly removed in skin kept in the absence of light, and they are more rapidly removed when the skin is exposed to visible light.

Univ. of Idaho 111 were examined after exposure to simulated acidic rain. In buffer solutions [Sup35]SO[Sub4][Sup2-] penetrated leaves faster at pH 2.7 than at 5.7. In contrast, [Sup86]Rb[Sup+] pervaded fastest at pH 5.7, and [Sup3]H[sub2]O entered foliage at similar rates at all pH levels tested. When plants were exposed to simulated rains of various pH levels, calcium, nitrate and sulphate were preferentially leached from whole leaves by rainfalls of low pH, whereas potassium and chloride leached more at pH 5.7 and 3.4 compared with 2.7 and 2.9. Isotope tests indicated that cells within leaves were more permeable to [Sup35]SO[Sup4][Sup2-] and [Sup3]H[Sub2]O and less permeable to [Sup86]Rb[sup+] at pH 2.7 than at higher pH levels. These results suggest a wide diversity of leaf and cell permeability responses to various ions after exposure to acidic rain. In general, an increased rate of nutrient leaching at more acidic levels was correlated with a lower adaxial leaf resistance during leaf development.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1981/11// VL - 89 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 459 EP - 570 SN - 0028646X AB - Experiments were performed to determine changes in mass, protein content and carbohydrate content of seeds of soybean plants exposed to simulated acidic rain grown under standard agronomic practices and receiving ambient rainfall at Brookhaven National Laboratory during the summer of 1979. Plots were exposed three times per week to simulated rainfalls of pH 4.0, 3.1, 2.7 or 2.3 to provide inputs of 50, 397, 998 or 2506 μequiv. of hydrogen ions respectively, above ambient levels throughout the growing season. Control plots received no simulated rainfall treatments. The results indicate significant differences by both analysis of variance and two-tailed t-tests. These additional hydrogen ions decreased seed yields by 2.6, 6.5, 11.4 and 8.5%, respectively. A treatment-response function was determined between the hydrogen ion concentration of the treatments and seed yield. This function, y = 21.06 - 1.01 log x, has a correlation coefficient of minus 0.90 and its slope is significantly different from zero. Decreased yields were attributed to a decrease in number of pods per plant since seed number per pod and mass per seed did not vary among the treatments. On a per plant basis, total seed protein decreased by 10 and 19% in plants exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 4.0 and 3.1, respectively, compared with plants not exposed to simulated rainfalls. At these same treatment levels total non-structural carbohydrates did not decrease significantly. The results show that additional increments of simulated acidic rain can decrease seed biomass and protein content of field-grown soybeans.

In this study, the author found that the tumescent area of the tail of the adult dogfish was gray in color and occurred on both sides of the heterocercal caudal fin, covering the caudat extremity of the spinal column at the point where the column turned up into the dorsal lobe of the caudal fin. It was particularly well developed from the point of insertion of the caudal fin to the end of the anterior portion of the ventral lobe.

Cells were exposed to various concentrations of extracts, and cytolysis and population growth impairment were monitored. In addition, chemical class fractionation and major organic elemental analysis were performed. Synthetic fossil fuel materials are more toxic than conventional petroleum crude oils and coal‐derived materials are more toxic than crude shale oil. Synthetic fossil‐fuel‐related materials have a higher nitrogen and oxygen content and a greater aromaticity than do natural crude oils. Acute toxicity appears to be correlated with ether‐soluble acid (phenolic) content, mono‐ and diaromatic hydrocarbon content, and ether‐soluble base (primary aromatic amines and azaarenes) content.

The results showed the gasification wastes to De, in general, very low in methylene chloride‐extractable aromatic (0–6.3 μg/g) and aliphatic (0–70 μg/g) hydrocarbons, in sharp contrast with the significantly higher concentrations (75–760 and 260–1300 μg/g aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, respectively) observed in the liquefaction solids. The negligible aqueous leachability of organics from all samples, except for one liquefaction solid, indicated that leachates from these wastes should not contribute directly or significantly to the degradation of surface and ground water quality. Temporary storage of the one liquefaction solid showing leachable organics in a manner that would prevent leaching is recommended.

After a single topical application of either 10, 20, or 40 mg of lauroyl peroxide or benzoyl peroxide on the dorsal skin of Sencar mice, the epidermal thickness increased markedly. No major inflammatory or vascular alterations were noted. On the other hand, 15 or 30% hydrogen peroxide produced an extensive epidermolysis, as well as inflammation and vascular injury, followed by quick regeneration and epidermal hyperplasia. Both lauroyl peroxide- and benzoyl peroxide-induced hyperplasias were characterized by a sustained production of dark basal keratinocytes, which constituted approximately 10% of the basal cell population during the first week after single topical application. Hydrogen peroxide-induced epidermal hyperplasias also exhibited numerous dark cells, but their presence was less sustained. Although all these peroxides were inactive either as initiators or as complete carcinogens, lauroyl peroxide was as effective as benzoyl peroxide when used as a skin tumor promoter in a two-stage carcinogenesis protocol. In a similar experimental protocol, hydrogen peroxide proved to be a very weak skin tumor promoter.

Trends in density from the corridor edge to 268 m into the forest were examined for the bird community as a whole and for edge, deep forest, and unaffected, species. Analysis of computer-generated, randomly distributed ‘species’ indicated that most trends observed in individual bird species were real. Apparently due to a tendency for some birds to establish territories in a row along the straight corridor edge, peaks in total density occurred at the edge and again in deeper forest. In each year, total density was higher at some distance into the forest than at or near the edge. The contribution of five edge species to bird density on the plot as a whole was negated by lower densities of nine deep forest species in areas near the edge. Considered as a group, thirteen forest species that individually appeared unaffected by the corridor showed a significant decrease in density with increasing distance from the corridor edge: this may have been caused by higher bird density in a small amount of mixed forest habitat near the corridor.

This report describes a high-affinity, limited-capacity binding component which specifically interacts with glucocorticoids and which is identified as a glucocorticoid (GC) receptor present in the cytosol of adult mouse epidermis. Also described is the effect of a single application of TPA and other hyperplasiogenic agents on the level of epidermal cytosol GC receptor. After treatment with acetone the epidermal GC receptor level was 0.38 pmol/mg cytosol protein, whereas after application of TPA (4 μg) there was a time-dependent transient decrease in the level of GC receptor (39% of control 24 hr after TPA) followed by an increase (55% and 66% of control 48 and 72 hr, respectively, after TPA). Hyperplasiogenic agents such as mezerein and ethylphenylpropiolate were also effective in causing a reduction in the level of epidermal cytosol GC receptor level, but weak tumor promoters such as phorbol dibenzoate and 4-O-methyl TPA were less effective than TPA, Therefore, there is a good correlation among agents which induce epidermal hyperplasia and agents which cause a reduction in epidermal cytosol GC receptor levels. The functional significance of the decrease in receptor level is discussed.

A twenty‐four hour Soxhlet extraction with the azeotrope extracts 76 percent of the organic carbon, 15 percent of the elemental carbon, and 61 percent of the total carbon. Nonpolar and moderately polar organic compounds such as dotriacontane, benzo(a)pyrene, and stearic acid are extracted with 95 percent recovery. Highly polar oxygenated species such as succinic acid are extracted with an efficiency of 82 percent. The Soxhlet extractor was more efficient than ultrasonication for the extraction of highly polar species.

This pattern differed from other studies of litter decomposition in more northern environments where decomposition rates were relatively constant throughout the year or more rapid beneath a winter snow cover. The pattern observed can be approximated by using monthly actual evapotranspiration estimates as a correction factor for the decomposition constant, k, in the commonly-used negative exponential decomposition model. Mean microarthropod densities increased from a seasonally weighted estimate of 18.2 ind, g-1 litter during the first year of decomposition to 73.6 ind. g-1 litter during the second year. In spite of this increase, no difference in the rate of weight loss of the litter was observed between the first and second year of the study.

After reviewing several transmission mechanisms proposed in previous studies, the paper suggests that interregional commodity trade, with limited mobility of factors of production such as labor, is an obvious candidate for transmitting economic fluctuations among regions. Three models are constructed to analyze transmission mechanisms involved in interregional commodity trade in a monetary setting. Increases in wages or unemployment in one region could induce increases or decreases in wages or unemployment in another region. The directions of transmitted changes depend crucially on the cause of the change and the economic structures of the regions involved.

JO - Journal of Phycology JF - Journal of Phycology Y1 - 1983/03// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 53 EP - 57 SN - 00223646 AB - Ten seaweed species were surveyed for simultaneous phatoevolution of hydrogen and oxygen. In an attempt to induce hydrogenase activity (as measured by hydrogen photoproduction) the seaweeds were maintained under anaerobiosis in CO[SUB2] free seawater for varying lengths of time. Although oxygen evolution was observed in every alga studied, hydrogen evolution was not observed. Our conclusion of this research is that, in contrast to the microscopic algae, there is not a single example of a macroscopic alga for which the photoevolution of hydrogen has been observed, in spite of the fact that there are now at least nine macroscopic algal species known for which hydrogenase activity has been reported (either by dark hydrogen evolution or light-activated hydrogen uptake). These results are in conflict with the conventional view that algal hydrogenase can catalyze a multiplicity of reactions, one of which is the photoproduction of molecular hydrogen. Two possible explanations for the lack of hydrogen photoproduction in macroscopic algae are presented. It is postulated that electron acceptors other than carbon dioxide can take up reducing equivalents from Photosystem 1 to the measurable exclusion of hydrogen photoproduction. Alternatively, the hydrogen-uptake system with respect to light-activated reactions. A simple kinetic argument based on recent measurements of the photosynthetic turnover times of simultaneous light-activated hydrogen and oxygen production is presented that supports the second explanation.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1983/03// VL - 93 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 377 EP - 388 SN - 0028646X AB - Two experiments were performed during the summer of 1981 to determine the effects of simulated acidic rain on seed yields of soybeans grown using standard agronomic practices. In one experiment, plants were shielded from all ambient rainfall and exposed to simulated rainfall in quantities equal to the average amount of rainfall that occurs at the site. Seed yields of soybeans exposed twice weekly to simulated rain of pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 were, respectively, 10.7, 16.8 and 22.9% below yields of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH 3-6. A treatment-response function of seed yield vs rainfall pH was y = 7.40 + 1.025x and had a correlation coefficient of 0.997 (y is seed mass per plant and x is the pH of the simulated rain). in a second experiment, soybean plants were not shielded from ambient rainfall (weighted mean hydrogen ion concentration equal to pH 4.04) and received only small volumes of simulated rainfall three times weekly. Plants exposed to simulated rainfall of pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 exhibited yield reductions of 2.7, 7.0 and 7.6%, respectively, below yields of plants exposed to simulated rainfall of pH 5.6. By best fit analyses, the equation describing this relationship is expressed by y = 9.68+0.318x, and the correlation coefficient is 0-97. In both experiments, the observed decrease in seed yields was due to a decrease in number of pods per plant.

A technique is presented which preserves the particle integrity of fine-grained sediments while permitting examination of the same sample using light and electron microscopy techniques. The technique involves drying the sediment sample using a critical point drying apparatus and then impregnating it using low viscosity SPURR epoxy. Standard thin sectioning techniques are used for light microscopy, whereas ultrathin sections are made using a microtome for transmission electron microscopy work. Scanning electron microscopy investigations are performed on samples prior to impregnating.

Absolute numbers of DNA synthesizing cortical thymocytes per cross-section of the thymus were computed from combined data obtained by planimetry, counts of cell density (cellularity) and assessment of the labelling index, I h after injection of (methyl--³H)-thymidine. The proliferative activity of these cells in the outer fourth of the thymic cortex reached a peak exceeding significantly control values by 45%, 14 days after primary, but not secondary, peripheral antigenic stimulation. We conclude that the cortical thymocyte population responded in a distinct manner to the first immunization as opposed to the booster injection of the same antigen.

One dynamic program controls acceleration as a function of time subject to constraints on speed, acceleration, and distance covered. Another controls acceleration and gearshift subject to constraints on speed, acceleration, and time required to shift gears. Results are presented for acceleration to a given cruising speed, driving over hills while achieving a given average speed, and driving from one stop sign to another.

EBSCO is reproducing the article exactly as it appears in the magazine.] This study measured the incidence of cause specific trauma in the Cleveland and Lorain-Elyria Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs), population 2.2 million, as reported to hospital emergency departments (ED). Cases were selected according to a stratified probability sampling plan (N = 9268.) The participating hospitals accounted for 97.6 per cent of 903,346 ED visits in 1977; 52 per cent of these visits were for trauma, (ICDA-8) E800-E999). The trauma incidence rate was 197 per 1,000 population. The six leading causes of injury were: falls, 24.4 per cent; cut/piercing injury, 14.2 per cent; striking or struck by object, 13.8 per cent; motor vehicle collisions (MVC), 11.6 per cent; overexertion/ strain, 82 per cent; and assault, 4.3 per cent. Only falls, MVCs, and assaults were leading causes of both injury and death. The injury incidence rates for vehicular crashes and assault were 1.4 and 3.8 times higher, respectively, than the official incidence rates for these SMSAs. These differences point to a significant underreporting of data needed for public health decision making. Because data were not collected on cases treated outside the participating hospitals, the incidence rates reported here represent at conservative estimate of the magnitude of the problem.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1983/10// VL - 95 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 241 EP - 246 SN - 0028646X AB - Earlier studies with the shrub A triplex confertifolia (Chenopodiaceae) suggested that the occurrence of mycotrophy was related to the community from which root samples were obtained; plants in disturbed areas were non-mycotrophic, while those growing in native areas possessed infection. Upon closer examination when neighbouring plants were studied, the level of mycorrhizal infection of A triplex confertifolia was found to be related to its interspecific plant associations. When A triplex confertifolia occurred solitarily, or in the presence of non-mycorrhizal A. gardneri, it was non-mycotrophic. However, when occurring near grasses or Artemisia spinescens, it possessed mycorrhiza infection. What appeared to be a community effect for the occurrence of mycorrhiza is nothing more than an association effect in which level of infection is related to the degree of mycorrhizal host plant cover. In disturbed communities little chance occurs for encountering a neighbouring mycorrhizal plant, while native plant communities are composed primarily of mycorrhizal counterparts.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1983/10// VL - 95 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 277 EP - 287 SN - 0028646X AB - Greenhouse-grown soybean plants [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Davis] were exposed to simulated acid rain (pH 2.6 to 5.6) and gaseous air pollutants (SO[SUB2] + O[SUB3]) to determine how effects on short-term physiological processes are integrated into whole-plant response. Injury to expanding leaves, characterized by marginal necrosis and leaf deformation, was induced by twice-weekly exposure to simulated rain of pH 2.6 and to a lesser extent pH 3.4. Growth inhibition resulted only from exposure to rain of pH 2.6, and there were no significant pH × air pollution interactions. Growth analysis from periodic harvests indicated that inhibitory effects of rain of pH 2.6 were mediated through a reduction in leaf area ratio (LAR). The alteration in LAR was not attributable to reduced allocation of dry matter to leaves but to lower specific leaf area caused by leaf deformation. There were no effects of rain pH on unit leaf rate. A second experiment confirmed the lack of growth inhibition from simulated rain with pH> 34. Cumulative water use, a measure that integrated aspects of root size, leaf area, and physiology, was remarkably similar in plants exposed to pH 3.4, 4.2, or 5.6 simulated rain. These experiments suggest that vegetative growth of soybeans may be adversely affected by acid rain if pH is low enough to cause physical injury to leaves and loss of photosynthetic area.

The LPS contained significant amounts of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid, glucose, 3-deoxy sugars, glucosamine, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, hexoses, and phosphate. Heptose, a characteristic sugar component of the polysaccharide moiety of LPS of most gram-negative bacteria was absent. Lipopolysaccharides and lipid A hydrolysate of LPS preparations were active in mouse lethality and Limulus lysate gelation. The lipid A moiety was slightly less active in toxicity and Limulus lysate gelation assays than the intact LPS. The LPS and lipid A moiety of the two isolates of M. aeruginosa were less active in toxicity in mice and Limulus test than LPS of Salmonella abortus equi.

In specimens irradiated with energy densities less than that required to cause complete annealing, we have identified two distinct regions; the first one consisting of fine polycrystals and the second one consisting of large polycrystals. The changes in thickness of these two regions as a function of pulse energy density are described. Concomitant changes in arsenic concentration profiles are consistent with diffusion in liquid silicon. From the profile broadening in the large polycrystalline region, the crystal growth velocity was estimated to be 4-6 ms-1.

This observation is inconsistent with previous theoretical models for silicon deposition, which assume that either thermodynamic equilibrium or surface kinetics determines the silicon deposition rate. It is consistent with the predictions of a new model for chemical vapor deposition by Coltrin et al., in which gas phase chemical kinetics play an important role in the deposition mechanism. The Si2 molecule could be a precursor to the nucleation of silicon particulates in the gas phase.

The spectrum was well resolved and highly characteristic of the chromophore. Comparisons were made between the spectrum of this modified DNA and the isolated deoxyguanosine-BPDE adduct and a series of other 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-BP (THBP) derivatives. 9-Hydroxy-BP 4,5-oxide, which is also involved in the binding of BP to DNA, and THBP have very similar conventional broadband fluorescence spectra. However, the fluorescence-line-narrowed spectra of their derivatives were readily distinguishable either as individual components or as mixtures.

In agreement with the predictions of previous theories, the applied stress is found to be predicted by the expression 2C(ΔV/V), where C is the appropriate second-order shear elastic constant and ΔV/V is the fractional difference in velocities of waves propagating parallel and perpendicular to the load. The data show that, whereas the individual velocities are strongly influenced by microstructure, the stress prediction based on their difference is not. Included are results illustrating the effects of preferred grain orientation and plastic deformation.

Plants were shielded from all ambient rainfalls automatically by two moveable exclusion covers and exposed to simulated rainfalls in quantities equal to the average amount of rainfall that occurs at the site. Seed yields cv. Amsoy exposed twice weekly to simulated rain of pH 4·1, 3·3 and 2.7 were, respectively, 3.0, 9.0. and 12.8% below yields of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH St. A treatment-response function of seed yield vs rainfall pH for Amsoy was y = 10·20 + 0·587 x and had a correlation coefficient of 0·96 (y is seed mass per plant and x is the pH of the simulated rain). For cv. Williams, seed vidds of plants exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 5·6, 4·1, 3·3 and 2·7 were 11·5, 11·4 and 11·4 g, respectively. A treatment-response function of seed yield vs rainfall pH for Williams was y = 11.13 + 0·016 x which had a correlation coefficient of 0·038. Plants of Amsoy and Williams grown in plots adjacent to the exclusion shelters had mean seed yields of 11·4 and 9·8 g per plant, respectively. Seed yield per plant was dependent upon number of pods per plant because the number of seeds per pod did not vary among treatments for each cultivar.

Samples were made from 121Sb+ implanted Si, solid-phase-epitaxially regrown, and analyzed by ion channeling. One sample was sequentially annealed so as to precipitate out various fractions of the dopant in excess of the solubility limit. In the fully annealed sample electron channeling measurements could quantitatively determine the fraction of Sb in precipitate form since it was randomly located with respect to the matrix. In the partially annealed sample electron channeling indicated a larger nonsubstitutional fraction than could be accounted for by observed precipitates.

Measurements are reported on crystals with Fe concentrations from 2×1015 cm-3 to 4×1016 cm-3 and with excited electron-hole-pair densities of ∼1012 cm-3 and 9×1017 cm-3. Measured signal decays are purely exponential in character, and decay times are inversely related to Fe concentration. No long-lived tails are observed. Decay times show no dependence on excitation level for excited carrier concentrations that are well above and well below the Fe concentrations. The magnitude of the photoresponse indicates that electrons and not holes are the primary current carriers. The data suggest that for impulse excitation photoconductance decay in InP:Fe is due to trap-assisted recombination of electrons and holes at the Fe sites, with a rate determined by the species with the slower capture rate.

In the method, lasers for RIS are used to obtain atomic species (Z) selectivity and a small quadrupole mass spectrometer provides isotopic (A) selectivity. After Z and A selection the krypton ions were counted as they were implanted into a target. Basically, the method works for any isotope whether stable or unstable. However, the detection limit may depend on the isotope because of outgassing of stable atoms from the enclosure walls. For 81Kr, we show that fewer than 1000 atoms can be counted with good accuracy.

It is estimated that these results can be explained if less than 10% of the current is associated with an energetic (∼4 keV) electron beam. Interpreting the spectroscopic diagnostics consistently with the nonthermal electron energy distribution indicates that the temperature of the plasma ''hot spots'' could be as low as ∼400 eV instead of the 1 keV obtained by assuming a thermal distribution.

Protein phosphorylation has been studied in plants for more than a decade. Early studies were concerned with phenomena which had parallels in animal cells, such as the phosphorylation of nuclear and ribosomal proteins, but more recently considerable attention has been given to an example without parallel in animal cells, the phosphorylation of chloroplast proteins. When isolated intact chloroplasts from green plants are incubated in the light with orthophosphate, radioisotope is incorporated not only into low molecular weight molecules such as ATP and sugar phosphates but also into RNA and protein.

Case fatality ratios are estimated by comparing these injury rates with population-based mortality rates for 1976-1978. For all age and sex groups, injuries are a major cause of emergency department visits. Falls, striking, cuts, and motor vehicle crashes are the leading causes of injury. Case fatality ratios for motor vehicle crash injuries are considerably higher than those for non-transport injuries. Injury rates and case fatality ratios for males exceed those for females except among the elderly. With increasing age, injury rates decline but the fraction of injuries leading to hospital admission or to fatality rises sharply.

Input stresses were 8.6 or 12.4 GPa. At 12.4 GPa detonation occurred in less than 10-mm run distance of the shock for the <110> and <001> orientations. For the <101> and <100> orientations, denotation was not observed. There is a difference of more than a factor of 2 in run distance to detonation with crystal orientation. The effect can be understood in terms of the available slip systems in the uniaxial strain associated with plane shock compression. In addition, an intermediate velocity transition was observed at 8.6-GPa shock stress for <101> orientation.

Statistically significant differences in protein content per seed mass were obtained in three of four experiments at the field site. Mean protein contents of control plants for the three experiments reported herein were 330, 393 and 438% and were comparable to protein yields obtained by commercial growers. When results were expressed as protein content per seed mass the changes were independent of reduction in seed mass per plant due to increased rainfall acidity, When results were expressed as protein contents per plant, decreases in protein of 20% were common in plants exposed to rainfalls similar to ambient (pH 4.1) compared with experimental controls (pH 5.6).

Using room-temperature optical techniques, we find that L⊥≊0.1 μm, which is more than an order of magnitude smaller than L∥≊1.5 μm. The latter is comparable to that measured in the bulk materials which comprise the SLS layers, while the former demonstrates the existence of large potential barriers in both the conduction and valence bands.

The acceptor activation (∼15% at 300 K) and the mobilities in the p regions (∼20 cm2/Vs at 300 K) are consistent with the values expected for type-converted GaP-based alloys. Depth-dependent structural characterization by ion channeling demonstrates that the superlattice structure survived the implantation and annealing without loss of layer strain. These results demonstrate that Be implantation can be applied to produce localized doping in a strained-layer superlattice system and reflect favorably on the stability of strained-layer superlattices under particle bombardment and thermal cycling.

The propagation is purely in the electron drift direction and is observed only when the drift parameter (electron drift speed/electron thermal speed)>=0.1. A novel spatial-filter technique resolves this localized mode, which otherwise would be hidden by more robust global disturbances present along the lines of sight.

When excited at several ultra-band-gap wavelengths, electrodes whose surface n-GaAs0.70P0.30 layers are ∼0.2 μm thick exhibit PL spectra derived from the emission bands of the heterojunction constituents. Besides being dependent on excitation wavelength, the PL spectral distribution is a function of applied potential. Field-induced quenching of PL from the electrodes is shown to be consistent with a dead-layer model. Electroluminescence (EL) can be observed when the solids are used as cathodes in a formamide solution of Na2S2O8. The EL spectrum indicates that radiative recombination due to hole injection is largely confined to the surface layer.

Combining symmetric Fe Kα1 (400) and asymmetric Cu Kα1 (422) reflections, a constant parallel strain of 0.19% relative to the substrate was found throughout the superlattice and buffer layer. Relative to the substrate, the perpendicular strain was found to be 0.26% in the buffer, and 0.80% and -0.19% in the 176-Å-thick superlattice GaAsxP1-x and GaP layers, respectively. The strain profiles indicate the buffer is ∼80% decoupled from the substrate by misfit dislocations near the buffer/substrate interface, and the lattice misfit in the superlattice is elastically accommodated by the epitaxial structure with a small shift in the average lattice constant relative to the equilibrium superlattice structure.

The time-dependent intensity of the Hα line increases by nearly an order of magnitude as the plasma length is increased from 0.27 to 1.27 cm. This increase in intensity is greater than that expected from a medium exhibiting no gain. A comparison of the measured time history of the emission with that of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium time-dependent calculations suggests that a small-signal gain ∼0.5 cm-1 is obtained.

The method is destructive, requiring that a set of measurements is made on a cell before and after mechanically roughening the back of the cell. The data include short-circuit current (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and asymptotic decay rates for Jsc and Voc. High open-circuit voltage (650 mV) silicon cells are studied using the technique. It is shown that the emitter recombination current is large (1.5×10-13 A/cm2), which is consistent with a band-gap narrowing mechanism. Furthermore, the high voltages are shown to result from unusually long base lifetimes (>300 μs) in 0.3-Ω cm silicon.

The photoconductor sampling gates were ion beam damaged to produce short carrier lifetimes (<3 ps in one case). Damage was introduced with 6 MeV 20Ne on the Si-on-sapphire, 2 MeV 2H on the GaAs, and 2 MeV 4He on the InP. Doses in the range 1012-1015 cm-2 were used. Our results show circuit limits to the time resolution in correlation measurements from two sources: (a) RC time constants due to photoconductor gap capacitance and transmission line characteristic impedance and (b) dispersion in microstrip transmission lines.

These measurements indicate that a maximum lateral compressive stress of ∼5×109 dyn/cm2 is induced for all the ions at fluences corresponding to deposited energy densities of about 1020 keV/cm3 into collisional processes. The compositional modulation of the SLS is maintained at fluences which exceed the yield stress value even in the presence of additional implantation-induced stress and significant numbers of atomic displacements.

The image contrast from cross-section specimens correlated closely with the dopant concentration profiles determined by x-ray microanalysis and with Rutherford ion backscattering analysis of the bulk materials.

Comparison of these results with data taken on a standard alloy buffer layer of nearly the same average composition (18% As) reveals that in the SLS there are fewer types of traps, the trap concentrations are usually lower, the sample to sample variations across the wafer are much less, and the trap depth profiles are more uniform. Consequently, this comparison suggests that the SLS material is of better quality than the buffer which is mismatched to the underlying GaP substrate.

The amorphous surface alloy formed by Ti implantation of pure Fe increases in thickness when additional C is implanted at depths containing Ti but beyond the range of carburization. Pin-on-disc tests of 15-5 PH stainless steel show that implantation of both Ti and C reduces friction significantly under conditions where no reduction is obtained by Ti implantation alone; wear depths are also less when C is implanted. All available experimental results can be accounted for by consideration of the thickness and Ti concentration of the amorphous Fe-Ti-C alloy. The thicker amorphous layer on samples implanted with additional C extends tribological benefits to more severe wear regimes.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering JF - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering Y1 - 1984/09// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 574 EP - 588 SN - 00985589 AB - How can a program written in pure applicative LISP be reused in a Fortran environment? One answer is by automatically transforming it from LISP into Fortran. In this paper we discuss a practical application of this technique-one that yields an efficient Fortran program. We view this process as an example of abstract programming, in which the LISP program constitutes an abstract specification for the Fortran version. The idea of strategy—a strategy for getting from LISP to Fortran—is basic to designing and applying the transformations. One strategic insight is that the task is easier if the LISP program is converted to "recursive" Fortran, and then the recursive Fortran program is converted to nonrecursive standard Fortran. Another strategic insight is that much of the task can be accomplished by converting the program from one canonical form to another. Developing a strategy also involves making various implementation decisions. One advantage of program transformation methodology is that it exposes such decisions for examination and review. Another is that it enables optimizations to be detected and implemented easily. Once a strategy has been discovered, it can be implemented by means of rewrite-rule transformations using the TAMPR program transformation system. The transformational approach to program reuse based on this strategy has a measure of elegance. It is also practical—the resulting Fortran program is 25 percent faster than its compiled LISP counterpart, even without extensive optimization.

To ascertain which fraction(s) of beef muscle contain(s) the essential precursors, aqueous (1:1) homogenates of lean round steak were centrifuged to give an insoluble residue1 (R1) and a soluble supernatant1 (S1). S1 was then boiled for 30 min and again centrifuged, yielding a residue2 (R2) and a soluble supernatant2 (S2). S2 represents only 5% of the meat dry wt and it contains only 10* of the H2O‐soluble protein, but it contributes all of the S‐9 dependent Salmonella TA1538 mutagenic activity in boiled homogenates. Mutagen formation from S2 boiled for 0–30 h at a constant volume increases exponentially with time and displays sharp pH optima at 4.0 and 9.0. By molecular ultrafiltration the pH 4.0 mutagen precursors in S2 have molecular wts < 500. They are also stable to lyophilization. These observations and the disappearance of certain amino acids upon boiling at pH 4.0 suggest that select amino acids may be reactants for low‐temperature mutagen formation.

To investigate the types of natural components in beef muscle that give rise to frameshift mutagenic activity, we previously devised a model boiling system and demonstrated that all of the Salmonella TA1538 activity is formed from H2O‐soluble, < 500 molecular wt compounds that are present in round steak supernatant fractions (S1 and S2). S2 is derived from S1, the soluble fraction of homogenized beef, by a brief 30 min boil and centrifugation. We now report that proteolysis of beef S1 with papain, trypsin, or chymotrypsin (± carboxypeptidase A) increases the mutagenic activity of boiled S2 by 1.8–4.5 fold over the baseline range of 90–100 TA1538 revertants/108 bacteria/g dry beef/14 h at pH 4.0. Sequential treatment of beef S1 with chymotrypsin followed by carboxypeptidase A is the most efficient mutagen enhancing digestion (415 revertants/g dry beef or 7.7 revertants/mg of S2 soluble protein). Fourteen h boiled, proteolytic digests of round steak insoluble‐protein fraction (R1), soybean protein, bovine serum albumin, and bovine α‐lactalbumin contain much less TA1538 activity/mg of soluble protein than beef S2 (0.01–1.5 versus 7.4 revertants/108 bacteria). For comparison, S2 fractions prepared from chicken (light meat), chicken (dark meat), pork chops, turkey (light meat), beef liver, fish (sole), and whole eggs yield 89, 60, 71, 67, 58, 36, and < 1 TA1538 revertants/108 bacteria/g of initial dry wt. Despite their low TA1538 activity yields, S2‐like fractions from proteolyzed beef R1, soybean protein, and the two pure albumins, and S2 fractions from sole and eggs were comparable to our standard beef S1 or S2 in their amino acid compositions. Collectively, these mutagenicity and amino acid composition data indicate that select amino acids and/or small peptides plus some essential non‐amino acid compounds are the mutagen precursors in beef muscle.

For high dose oxygen implantation, a continuous buried oxide layer forms during implantation. It is shown that the damage morphology in the crystalline region ahead of the buried oxide is extremely sensitive to variations in the temperature of the substrate about 475 °C. Both backscattering/channeling spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used in determining the microstructure of the implanted samples.

In contrast, colonies in shaded reef areas must acquire 60% of their reduced carbon heterotrophically. More than 90% of the carbon fixed by zooxanthellae is translocated to the animal host in both light regimes, but very little is assimilated, apparently because the translocated products are deficient in nitrogen. Thus, the coral's overall growth efficiency is similar to that of aquatic herbivores that forage actively.

(2) Results for chestnut oak (Quercus prinus L.) in the growing season indicate that 62 and 42% of the net deposition of SO 2/4 and Ca2-, respectively, were supplied by canopy exchange, with the remainder being washed-off dry deposition. For white oak (Quercus alba L.), the corresponding values were 81 and 73%, (3) Dry deposition accounted for 30 and 71% of the total atmospheric input of SO 2/4 and Ca2-, respectively. (4) For nitrate, dry deposition was at least 30% of the total atmospheric input, but some uptake of both wet and dry deposition probably occurred in the canopy. (5) For potassium, much of the measured dry deposition appeared to be particulate material released and redeposited within the canopy.

Ten months later their respiratory function was evaluated. No functional differences were found between control and treated animals, and his‐topathologic evaluation of the lungs did not reveal any major treatment‐related alterations. Male and female BALB/c mice were exposed for 1 h to 26.8 μmol/l of 3MF once weekly for 10 wk. After 2 yr the tumor incidence in exposed animals was not increased when compared to controls. It is concluded that the acute Clara‐cell necrosis produced by 3MF at the doses used is of little long‐term consequence.

Since World War II, geographers have played important roles in a great many federal agencies, and other geographers outside the federal service have been leaders in such arenas as environmental and urban policy. Besides some personal characteristics that make many geographers useful, the main reason is that public policymaking in the United States is exquisitely geographic at the national level. As it is presently structured, however, our policymaking system has a limited capacity to find out the geographic import of the policy options it considers: this complicates interactions between the executive and legislative branches of the government. At a time when society expects policy to be arrived at pluralistically and when a great many of our policy debates involve relationships between one's location and one's legitimate vested interest, geographers have a remarkable opportunity to build roles for their perspectives and skills into new policymaking structures that are evolving.

The term experimental mathematics has been coined to describe computer-based investigations into nonlinear problems that are inaccessible to analytic methods. The experimental mathematician uses the computer to simulate the solutions of nonlinear equations and thereby to gain insights into their behavior and to suggest directions for future analytic research. Nonlinear science has become a discipline in itself, simply because nature is intrinsically nonlinear. The term nonlinear science, meaning the science of problems that are not linear, may seem odd at first. It seems to suggest that linear problems are the central issue, while in fact precisely the opposite is true. Although simple dynamical systems with low dimensional phase spaces can model much of the real world, the analysis of many physical phenomena requires a somewhat different approach. Digital computers, at both mainframe and minicomputer levels and in the conventional sequential or partially pipelined architecture, remain the general purpose tool of experimental mathematicians.

Merr. cv. `Davis'] exposed to combinations of polluted air (0.1 μ11[Sup-1]' SO[sub2] + 0.05 μ11[sup-1] O[Sub3]) and simulated acid rain (pH 3.4, 4.2 and 5.0). Plants exposed to the gaseous air pollutants had lower foliar concentrations of mineral nutrients and chlorophyll. Leaf abscission was increased and photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and vegetative growth were inhibited by SO[Sub2] + O[Sub3]. There was no evidence of adverse effects from acid rain on the physiology of this cultivar, regardless of the gaseous pollutant treatment. In the absence of fundamental physiological dysfunctions, acid rain is unlikely to reduce yield; hence, this study with `Davis' soybeans supports the conclusion of those field studies that have indicated no adverse effects of acid rain on soybeans.

This observation has been used to determine the extent of metabolic turnover of DNA in cells of the adult human cerebellum (90 percent of which are neuronal). If adult human neuronal DNA were metabolically stable, its 13C/12C would reflect that in the maternal diet duringfetal development as nearly all neurons areformed during maturation of the fetal brain and do not undergo cell division thereafter. The 13C/12C ratios in the food chains and body tissues of Europeans differ from corresponding American ratios by about SO parts per million on the average. Therefore, turnover was studied by comparing 13C/12C ratios in cerebellar DNA of American-born Americans, European-born Americans, and European-born Europeans. The 13C/12C ratios in cerebellar DNA from European-born Americans were closer to 13C/12C ratios in cerebellar DNA from European-born Europeans than from American-born Americans, indicating that there was little or no turnover of neuronal DNA.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1985/06// VL - 100 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 199 EP - 208 SN - 0028646X AB - An experiment to determine the effects of simulated acidic rain, applied at two frequencies and durations, on seed yields of two commercial cultivars of soybeans was performed during the summer of 1983. Plants were shielded from all ambient rainfalls automatically by two moveable exclusion covers and exposed to simulated rainfalls in quantities equal to the average amount of rainfall that occurs at the site during the growing season. Seed yields of soybeans (cv. Amsoy) exposed twice weekly to simulated rain of pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 were, respectively, 0, 10 and 17% below yields of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH 5.6. The linear treatment--response function of seed yield versus rainfall pH for Amsoy was y + 9.18+ 0.74x and had a correlation coefficient of 0.86 (y is seed mass per plant and x is the pH of the simulated rain). The linear component of pH treatment differences showed a highly significant decrease in yield (P= 0.0034). For Amsoy plants exposed to simulated rainfalls daily, plants exposed to pH 4.1, 3.3 and 2.7 exhibited yields 10, 19 and 12%, respectively, below those exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 5.6. A treatment-response function (P= 0.0713) of seed yield vs rainfall pH was y +7.35+ 0.56x and had a correlation coefficient of 0.84. Seed yields of the Williams cultivar were not affected by rainfall acidity. In both cultivars the daily, short duration rainfall regimen resulted in significantly lower yields compared with the twice weekly, longer duration rainfalls. The major portion of the differences in seed yield can be accounted for by the observed differences in number of pods per plant.

The responses of the models to a simple scenario (uniform growth increase of all trees as a response to CO[sub2] enrichment) include increases in biomass that are considerably less than the increases in growth rate of the trees. These simulations and more general discussion of the possible effects of increased photosynthetic production identify the problem of scaling-up small time-scale and space-scale measurements of plant responses to CO[sub2] enrichment to the ecosystem level.

Vertical profiles of a fluorescence depression index (FDI) and of the CFC for reservoir phytoplankton showed that nearsurface photoinhibition of fluorescence properties occurred in association with high surface irradiance and weak vertical mixing of the water column. To charcterize the time scales of photochemical and photosynthetic responses to and recovery from exposure to supraoptimal light intensity, phytoplankton IVF responses and ???C-fixation rates were measured in field experiments. Phytoplankton chlorophyll IVF, CFC, and photosynthetic [SUP14]C-fixation were rapidly (20-40 mm) depressesd when reservoir phytoplankton were exposed to surface irradiances (1700-2000 μE m[SUP-2],s[SUP-1]) Light-mediated increases in the FDI declined rapidly (20-40 min) to pre-exposure levels during a subsequent lo-light (75-200 μE m[SUP-2],s[SUP-1]) period, but CFC and [SUP14]C fixation recovered more slowly (>40 min). Exposure of reservoir phytoplankton to a light-intensity gradient revealed both intensity and time thresholds for IVF and CFC depression. Phytplankton photochemical responses to bright light operate on time scales that, in conjuction with vertical mixing, should limit the occurrence of photoinhibition of phytoplankton productivity occurs less commonly than is indicated by fixed-depth incubation measurements.

JO - Journal of Investigative Dermatology JF - Journal of Investigative Dermatology Y1 - 1985/10// VL - 85 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 362 EP - 364 SN - 0022202X AB - UVA- and UVB-induced tans which were visually identical with each other were induced in separate sites on the lower back of 5 normal human volunteers of good tanning ability. Tanning was achieved by 4 exposures to UVA and UVB administered over an 8-day period. One week after the last exposure the protection afforded by the two types of tan against UVB-induced erythema and against UVB-induced DNA damage was measured. Protection against erythema was measured by comparison of the minimal erythema doses of UVB in tanned and untanned skin. Protection against DNA damage was assessed by comparing the numbers of endonuclease-sensitive sites in epidermal DNA extracted from biopsies taken from tanned and untanned sites exposed to the same dose of UVB. The UVB tans conferred significant protection (mean 2.98-fold) against UVB-induced erythema. UVA tans were not associated with significant protection (mean 1.4-fold). In contrast, both UVA- and UVB-induced tans were associated with a similar reduction in yield of endonuclease-sensitive sites in epidermal DNA (in UVA tan to 47% and in UVB tan to 45% of the yield in untanned skin). Protection conferred by the tans against erythema was therefore not paralleled by protection against DNA damage.

The DNA damage was susceptible to cleavage by Micrococcus luteus UV endonuclease, which recognizes pyrimidine dimers in DNA. An alkaline agarose gel electrophoresis method was used to quantitate the number of M. luteus UV endonuclease-sensitive sites in nonradioactive DNA from skin biopsies of 7 individuals irradiated with UVB (0-180 mJ· cm-2). The production of sites correlated well with MED (correlation coefficient = 0.78). The slope of the dose response curve for the most UVB-sensitive individual (MED = 24 mJ · cm-2) and for the least UVB-sensitive individual (MED = 146 mJ · cm-2) were 11.5 × 10-4 and 2.6 × 10-4 sites per 1000 bases per mJ·cm-2, respectively. The UVB-induced DNA damage was determined to be pyrimidine dimers by its susceptibility to cleavage by M. luteus UV endonuclease and its photoreactivability by Escherichia coli photoreactivating enzyme.

The experiment described herein was performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory to determine the effects of simulated rainfalls of pH 5.6, 4.4, 4.1 and 3.3 on seed yields of four cultivars of field grown soybeans. (Glycine max Merrill). Soybeans were chosen because previous results suggested that certain varieties of this crop are sensitive to rainfall acidity and because they are an economically important crop in the United States. Sixteen plots per treatment were used. Plants were grown using standard agronomic practices under automatically moveable rainfall exclusion shelters which minimized changes in the plants' microclimate. Soybeans of cv. Amsoy shielded from ambient rainfalls and exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 4.4, 4.1 and 3.3 exhibited yields that were 11'5, 10'4 and 11-7 %, respectively, below those of plants exposed to rain of pH 5.6. The comparable figures for other cultivars were as follows: Asgrow 3127-14.5, 12-2 and 9.0% ; Corsoy-13.7, 12.7 and 7.8 %; Hobbit - 9.2, 6.2 and 16.6 %. Most of the observed decreases in seed mass per plant and per unit area for these four cultivars appear to have resulted from a corresponding decrease in pod number per plant.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 1986/04/18/ VL - 232 IS - 4748 M3 - Article SP - 356 EP - 361 SN - 00368075 AB - A strong interaction between the solar wind and comet Giacobini-Zinner was observed oh 11 September 1985 with the Los Alamos plasma electron experiment on the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) spacecraft. As ICE approached an intercept point 7800 kilometers behind the nucleus from the south and receded to the north, upstream phenomena due to the comet were observed. Periods of enhanced electron heat flux from the comet as well as almost continuous electron density fluctuations were measured. These effects are related to the strong electron heating observed in the cometary interaction region and to cometary ion pickup by the solar wind, respectively. No evidence for a conventional bow shock was found as ICE entered and exited the regions of strongest interaction of the solar wind with the cometary environment. The outer extent of this strong interaction zone was a transition region in which the solar wind plasma was heated, compressed, and slowed. Inside the inner boundary of the transition region was a sheath that enclosed a cold intermediate coma. In the transition region and sheath, small-scale enhancements in density were observed. These density spikes may be due to an instability associated with cometary ion pickup or to the passage of ICE through cometary ray structures. In the center of the cold intermediate coma a narrow, high-density core of plasma, presumably the developing plasma tail was found. In some ways this tail can be compared to the plasma sheet in Earth's magnetotail and to the current sheet in the tail at Venus. This type of configuration is expected in the double-lobe magnetic topology detected at the comet, possibly caused by the theoretically expected draping of the interplanetary magnetic field around its ionosphere.

The neutron scattering densities of unlabelled DNA and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli match when RNA polymerase is isolated from cells grown in a medium containing 46% D2O and unlabelled glucose as carbon source. Their contrasts vanish simultaneously in a dialysis buffer containing 65% D2O. An expression was evaluated which allows the calculation of the degree of deuteration and match point of any E. coli protein from the D2O content of the growth medium, taking the ²H incorporation into RNA polymerase amino acids to be representative for all amino acids in E. coli proteins. The small-angle scattering results, on which the calculation of the degree of deuteration is based, were confirmed by mass spectrometric measurements.

The model emphasizes competition for territory rather than direct competition for food, with intraspecific territorial competition increasing with population density. One among a number of theoretical results is that increased availability of food increases competition costs, and there is a symmetric effect for decreases, offering a dampening or cushioning effect on population changes in response to certain environmental changes. The approach offers a simple unification of population-territory and population-population interactions.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1986/08// VL - 103 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 689 EP - 693 SN - 0028646X AB - Analyses of seeds harvested from field-grown soybeans (Glycine max Merrill) demonstrated that simulated acidic rainfalls can significantly decrease total protein contents. In an experiment conducted in 1983, seed yields of plants exposed twice weekly to long duration rainfalls showed no significant differences in seed protein contents among the acidity levels tested. In contrast, significant differences in protein contents were found for seed samples from the short duration, daily rainfalls. Seeds of plants exposed to simulated rain of pH 5.6 had average protein contents of 37'9% compared with a range between 30'6 and 32.1% from plants exposed to lower pH values. Overall the protein contents of seeds of acidic rainfall treatments, expressed on a per plant basis, ranged from 23 to 34%. The results suggest that the response of soybean seed yields to acidity are affected by duration and frequency of simulated rainfalls. In the 1984 growing season, four commercial cultivars were tested under conditions of longer duration rainfalls, applied twice weekly. Significant treatment effects occurred only to the Amsoy cultivar and not to Asgrow, Corsoy or Hobbit. For the latter three cultivars the protein contents of samples were all relatively high (means were all between 35 and 39 %). The relatively low protein content of Amsoy soybeans exposed to simulated rainfalls of pH 2.7 was apparently responsible for the statistical significance among treatments. These and previous results demonstrate that rainfall acidity can significantly affect protein contents of seeds of field-grown soybeans and that effects on protein content are independent of changes in plant seed yields.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1986/08// VL - 103 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 695 EP - 707 SN - 0028646X AB - The yield response of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Davis) to simulated acid rain in the presence of ambient or less-than-ambient levels of gaseous pollution was determined in the field. Open-top chambers were used to alter the levels of gaseous pollutants. An automatic rain simulation system was used to exclude ambient rain and apply rain simulants during natural rain events. These simulations mimicked natural rain events with respect to volume, duration, intensity and frequency. In addition, the intervals between simulated and natural rain events were the same, and therefore many of the potential experimental artifacts associated with scheduled rain simulant applications in earlier research were avoided. Variables measured in the experiment included seed, oil, and protein yield, stem weight, numbers of pods and seeds, and weight per seed. There were no statistically significant rain or chamber treatment effects on the measured variables except for weight per seed and protein yield. The presence of open-top chambers, when compared with plots without chambers, caused yield variables to be reduced 15 to 20%. There was no evidence to suggest that the response to rain acidity was affected by exposure to ambient or less-than-ambient levels of gaseous pollution.

There was a significant positive correlation between nearest-neighbour distance and combined canopy cover for both within- and between-species comparisons, illustrating the importance of competition in the spacing of trees. (2) To verify the findings of the nearest-neighbour analysis experimentally, the response to removal of neighbouring trees was examined for A. nilotica. Those trees whose neighbours within a 5 m radius were removed showed a significant increase in both stem diameter increment and shoot extension when compared with control trees. (3) Seedling establishment relative to canopy cover was examined in both A. nilotica and A. tortilis communities. Two 'types' of species were apparent: (i) seedling establishment associated with under-canopy environments, and (ii) seedling establishment restricted to open or between-canopy environments. (4) To examine the relationship between the spatial pattern of trees, soil moisture and nutrient availability, the slope of the regression between nearest-neighbour distance and combined canopy cover of the nearest-neighbour pair was compared with both available water capacity and total exchangeable bases for nine A. tortilis sites. There was a significant positive relationship between slope of the nearest-neighbour regression and both available water capacity and total exchangeable bases.

The authors present a theory of landscape ecology that employs a hierarchical paradigm of pattern and behavior. Landscape ecology is motivated by a need to understand the development and dynamics of pattern in ecological phenomena. Landscapes develop as the components of pattern. The complexity of landscape pattern is organized such that the component events and patches occur at characteristic scales that are positively correlated in time and space. Vegetation patterns can be resolved on different scales. Hierarchy theory is concerned with systems that have a certain type of organized complexity. The authors constructed a four-level hierarchy to represent a forest. The authors consider man's influence on the characteristic scales of landscape phenomena.

Antitoxin in the serum appeared 6 days earlier in the older than in the young animals, but in the latter reached 5 times higher titres on day 20. The magnitude of the proliferative response in the paracortex and the medulla of popliteal lymph nodes, as estimated by combined 3H-thymidine autoradiography and planimetry, was 3-7 limes greater in the younger than in the older age group, thus approximately reflecting the difference in antibody titres on day 20. In contrast, germinal centre formation in response to the stimulus proved to be about 14 times less in ageing than in young adult mice. The findings demonstrate that, in the model system used, the age-related slopes of decline in humoral antibody responsiveness and proliferative reactivity in paracortex and medulla of first regional lymph nodes tend lobe in parallel, while the ability of the immune apparatus to form germinal centres at this site deteriorates al a considerably faster pace. Results are also in line with the notion that centroblasts/centrocytes contribute little, if anything, to the ongoing antibody production elicited by the same stimulus which had triggered germinal centre formation. Finally, the observations made disprove the general validity of the suggestion that immune reactivity is maintained on the same level throughout life if tested with a novel antigen.

However, it is only recently that these concerns have gained recognition as separate disciplines of serious intellectual challenge. Many of the security and privacy developments can be linked directly both to the hardware and to the operating systems advances. The concepts of information security and privacy were limited to communications and were focused rather narrowly on use of physical security, of equipment shielding and of cryptographic techniques in special applications.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering JF - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering Y1 - 1987/02// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 262 EP - 273 SN - 00985589 AB - Certain DES keys have been called weak or semiweak based upon the number of distinct round keys which they produce. For the weak keys, all 16 round keys are identical and encryption is the same as decryption. For the semiweak keys, there are only two distinct round keys but no specific weakness of the DES with these keys has been demonstrated. In this paper, a subcollection of these keys, those whit a palindromic sequence of round keys, which are the weak keys, and those with an antipalindromic sequence of round keys, which are part of the semi- weak keys, are considered. The results presented hell) to identify the weaknesses of these keys. Each class of keys considered has an associated set of distinguished points. In the palindromic case, each key has 232 messages which are fixed under DES encryption. Encryption with a key having an antipalindromic sequence of round keys will yield the complement for 232 plaintext messages. Exploiting the existence of the distinguished points, an in-depth analysis of some interesting cycle structures for these keys is presented. For the weak keys, the nature of Coppersmith cycles, which always contain fixed points and are obtained by alternately encrypting with a weak key and its complement, is disclosed. For the remaining keys, the cycles obtained by repeated encryptions with the same key, appear to be small and display considerable symmetry with respect to a message and its complement. Examples of degenerate cases of all of these cycles are included.

JO - Journal of Phycology JF - Journal of Phycology Y1 - 1987/03// VL - 23 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 98 SN - 00223646 AB - The flagellar root system of Entosiphon sulcatum (Dujardin) Stein (Euglenophyceae) is described and compared with kinetoplastid and other euglenoid systems. An asymmetric pattern of three microtubular roots, one between the two flagellar basal bodies and one on either side (here called the intermediate, dorsal, and ventral roots), is consistent within the euglenoid fiagellates studied thus far. The dorsal root is associated with the basal body of the anterior fiagellum (F[SUB1]) and lies on the left dorsal side of the basal body complex. Originating between the two fiagellar basal bodies, and associated with the basal body of the trailing fiageUum (F[SUB2]), the intermediate root is morphologically distinguished by fibrils interconnecting the individual microtubules to one another and to the overlying reservoir membrane. The intermediate root is often borne on a ridge projecting into the reservoir. The ventral root originates near the F[SUB2] basal body and lies on the right ventral side of the cell. Fibrillar connections link the membrane of F[SUB2] with the reservoir membrane at the reservoircanal transition level. A large cross-banded fiber joins the two flagellar basal bodies, and a series of smaller striated fibers links the anterior accessory and flagellar basal bodies. Large nonstriated fibers extend from the basal body complex posteriorly into the cytoplasm.

The dimer yields produced by a broadband UVA source, by broadband UVA filtered to remove all light of wavelength less than 340 nm, and by narrow band radiation centered at 365 nm were similar, indicating that UVA radiation, and not stray shorter wavelength radiation, was responsible for dimer production. The identity of the UVA-induced DNA lesions was confirmed as pyrimidine dimers by photoreactivation of approximately 100% of the endonuclease-sensitive sites in vitro with the 40,000 dalton Escherichia coli photoreactivating enzyme.

(1980) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 766, 563–569]. In the present work the block was further characterized. The following properties of BAL treatment are described. a) Inhibition of electron transport from water to lipophilic acceptors but not to silicomolybdate. b) Inhibition of the slow, sigmoidal phase of chlorophyll a fluorescence induction. c) Inability of N,N,N′,N′,-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine to bypass the inhibition of NADP+ photoreduction with water as the electron donor. d) Inhibition of electron transport from externally added quinols to NADP+. e) Inhibition of cytochrome f reduction by photosystem II, but not its oxidation by photosystem I. f) Inhibition of cytochrome b6 turnover and cytochrome f rereduction after single-turnover flash illumination under cyclic electron-flow conditions. The BAL-induced block is therefore located between the secondary quinone acceptor (QB) and the cytochrome b6 f complex. It was further found that (a) the isolated cytochrome complex is not inhibited after BAL treatment; (b) BAL-reacted plastoquinone-1 inhibits electron transport in chloroplasts; (c) BAL does not inhibit electron transport in chromatophores of Rhodospirilum rubrum or Rhodopseudomonas capsulata. It is suggested that the inhibition of electron transport in chloroplasts results from specific reaction of BAL with the endogenous plastoquinone.

Risk assessment helps set priorities for regulation of the very large numbers of chemicals that are of potential concern and helps direct limited social and government resources against the most significant risks. Although the scientific basis for risk assessment is often uncertain and the public and its representatives have often been confused by its use in regulatory decisions, the U.S. Environmental Protecion Agency currently uses a variety of risk assm ent techniques to set priorities, tailor regulations, and make decisions at particular sites. The Environmental Protection Agency also attempts to make the practice of risk assessment more consistent throughout the agency and to improve public understanding of the meaning of risk assessment and risk management.

These antisera, which are directed against the apoproteins of two chlorophyll-binding proteins (CPa-1 and CPa-2), the apoprotein of lightharvesting complex II and the 33-kDa extrinsic protein of the oxygen-evolving complex, were used to examine the light regulation of photosystem II assembly in maize. The principal findings of this study are as follows. 1. The 33-kDa protein is present in dark-grown maize and the content increases 5-10-fold upon illumination. 2. The level of the protein is mediated at least in part by phytochrome and is independent of the accumulation of chlorophyll. 3. In contrast, none of the three chlorophyll-binding proteins examined was detectable in leaves of maize grown in darkness or under other light regimes where chlorophyll does not accumulate. 4. Even in the absence of photosystem II assembly, the 33-kDa protein is properly transported across the thylakoid into the lumen. However, the protein does not attach in the normal way to the inner surface of the membrane under these conditions.

Whether these two chromatin fractions are sequence-specific subsets of the spermatozoon genome is the question addressed in this report. Sequence-specific packaging would suggest distinct structural and functional roles for the nudeohistone and nucleoprotamine in late spermatogenesis or early development or both. After removal of histones with 0.65M NaCl, exposed DNA was cleaved with Bam HI restriction endonuclease and separated by centifugation from insoluble nucleoprotamine. The DNA sequence distribution of nucleohistone DNA in the supernatant and nucleoprotamine DNA in the peilet was compared by cloning sizeselected single-copy sequences and by using the derived dones as probes of nucleohistone DNA and nudeoprotamine DNA. Two dones derived from nudeohistone DNA preferentially hybridized to nucleohistone DNA, and two clones derived from nucleoprotamine DNA preferentiafly hybridized to nucleoprotamine DNA, which demonstrated the existence of sequence-specific nucleohistone and nucleoprotamine components within the human spermatozoon.

Normal oral epithelial tissue was used as a control. Image analysis was applied to 5 μm formalin-fixed sections stained with the azure A-Feulgen reaction for neuclear DNA. For 150-200 cells from each section, 5 neuclear variable were assessed: area, form factor,total stain, average stain and ellipticity. For each variable, 2 measurements were obtained, the mean and the interquartile range, and were used for stepwise discriminant analsysis. Using this test, a model of 3 measurements with the most discriminanting power was developed. When the jackknife classification test was applied to this model, we could discriminate with 81% accuracy between the 4 groups of tissue studied.

The labelled cells were re-infused i.v. and their distribution in organs/tissues was determined 20-24 hr later. As indicated by tissue 125I-activity, pulmonary lymphoblasts had a marked tendency to relocate in the lung, regional pulmonary lymph nodes and spleen. Localization of efferent CMLN lymphoblasts was greater in antigenically stimulated segments compared to unstimulated segments of the lung. Dual antigen experiments indicated that the increased localization was not specific for the antigen which stimulated production of lymphoblasts used for in vitro labelling and rein fusion. Intranodal labelling of blasts by the direct injection of [125I]UdR supported the results obtained from in vitro labelling. In these studies, comparisons were made with the localization of lymphocytes obtained from thoracic duct lymph.

Previous studies indicated that reduction of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool is the key event in kinase activation. However, we show here that, unlike PSII proteins, LHC II is phosphorylated only when the cytochrome b6f complex is active. Two lines of evidence support this conclusion. (1) 2,5-Dibromo-3-methyl-6- isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB) and the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether of iodonitrothymol (DNP-INT), which are known to block electron flow into the cytochrome complex, selectively inhibit LHC II phosphorylation in spinach thylakoids. (2) The hcf6 mutant of maize, which contains PQ but lacks the cytochrome b6f complex, phosphorylates the four PS II proteins but fails to phosphorylate LHC II in vivo or in vitro.

(Cover story) JO - Environment JF - Environment Y1 - 1988/06// VL - 30 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 21 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 00139157 AB - This article focuses on the theoretical models simulating the processes that affect radioactivity transport and deposition used in conjunction with the observations on radionuclides released after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. During the initial explosions, material containing spent fuel enriched with noble gases and volatile nuclides of iodine, tellurium and cesium was ejected into the atmosphere. Gravitational settling of the coarser material released over the first five days dominated the deposition pattern close to the site. Scientists have used modeling results in conjunction with observations to reduce the quantities of various nuclides released from the Chernobyl reactor and their variation in time. The emissions from the Chernobyl accident cannot be compared in magnitude with the fallout to be expected from an exchange of nuclear weapons, not even after the reductions envisaged in the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The studies of the dispersion and deposition of readionuclide releases from Chernobyl have shown clearly that radionuclides may be transported over long distances and that this process can be predicted by mathematical models.

Radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions is often classified as local fallout deposited on the Earth's surface during the first 24 hours. Local fallout is projected to be more serious in terms of biological impact. It can extend many hundreds of kilometers downwind of sites targeted with nuclear ground bursts. The possible targeting of civilian and military nuclear fuel cycle facilities such as reactors, spent fuel stores, high-level waste facilities and fuel reprocessing plants has the potential of additionally contributing significantly over the long term to the burden of radioactivity on both the local and global scale. The uncertainties in these estimates can be divided into three categories: the targeting scenario, the fallout calculation models and the selected meteorological conditions. There can be additional body and organ dose from radioactivity that is carried inside the body by the ingestion of food and water contaminated by local fallout. The internal dose to an individual is sensitive to many factors that vary greatly depending on local circumstances.

This 64-kDa protein is very rapidly labeled by [γ-32P]ATP at very low (30 nM) ATP concentrations and the phosphoryl group exhibits a high turnover rate. It was possible to establish the presence of the 64-kDa protein in this plastid compartment by using different chloroplast envelope separation and isolation techniques. In addition comparison of labeling kinetics by intact and hypotonically lysed pea chloroplasts support the localization of the 64-kDa protein in the intermembrane space. The 64-kDa protein was present and could be labeled in mixed envelope membranes isolated from hypotonically lysed plastids. Mixed envelope membranes incorporated high amounts of 32P from [γ-32P]ATP into the 64-kDa protein, whereas separated outer and inner envelope membranes did not show significant phosphorylation of this protein. Water/ Triton X-114 phase partitioning demonstrated that the 64-kDa protein is a hydrophilic polypeptide. These findings suggest that the 64-kDa protein is a soluble protein trapped in the space between the inner and outer envelope membranes. After sonication of mixed envelope membranes, the 64-kDa protein was no longer present in the membrane fraction, but could be found in the supernatant after a 110000 x g centrifugation.

It is exciting because it represents a computer/user interface that can easily exceed the interaction speed of the best text-based language editors and command languages. It also provides a consistent framework for interaction across both editing and command execution. Moreover, because programs are represented graphically, structures that do not naturally conform to the text medium can be clearly described, and new kinds of information can be incorporated into pro- grams and program elements.

Root hydraulic conductivity (Lp) per unit length was measured on excised root systems to examine the influence of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhiza inoculation, seedling size, phosphorus (P) nutrition, and biomass distribution. Fertilization with P eliminated significant differences in seedling size and dry matter distribution between mycorrhizal (M) and non-mycorrhizal (NM) seedlings, but VA mycorrhizas increased root and leaf P concentration. Root Lp was similar in M and NM seedlings of similar size, and was lower in M seedlings for a given root P concentration. Root Lp decreased with age and weight, and increased as the proportion of dry weight in the leaves increased in both M and NM seedlings. Mycorrhizal colonization had no significant effect on root Lp in the absence of a significant growth response.

When the latex was centrifugated at 5000 g for 15 mm, this biosynthetic activity could be subdivided into two separate fractions: the acetate to β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A activity remained in the supernatant, while the β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A to triterpenol activity was pelleted. Further purification of the pellet by isopycnic centrifugation on Percoll gradients yielded at least three particles: latex particles, starch grains, and a single membrane-bound organelle. Electron micrographs were made of all of these latex particles. The single membrane-bound organelle was only observed in the region of the density gradient that exhibited the ability to incorporate mevalonic acid into the triterpenoids. In addition, the enzyme β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (EC 1.1.1.34) was found in the 5000 g pellet, while β-hydroxymethyl glutaryl-coenzyme A lyase (EC 4.1.3.4) remained in the super- natant.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1988/11// VL - 110 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 301 EP - 307 SN - 0028646X AB - A rapid surge in the foliar production of ethylene (C2H2), a growth regulator, is a well documented phonomenon in plants experiencing a variety of environmental stresses. The physiological significance of this stress-induced C2H2 is not resolved. Because exogenous C2H2 can induce changes in foliar gas exchange in a variety of plant species, we tested the hypothesis that the endogenous production of stress C2H2 due to the representative environmental stress of ozone (O3) is linked to observed changes in stomatal conductance to water vapour (gsH2o) and carbon dioxide assimilation (A) in Glicine max (L.) Merr. This objective was accomplished using seedlings in hydroponic culture which were administered aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), a metabolic inhibitor of stress C2H2 synthesis, and subsequently challenged with O3. The responsiveness to O2 stress of gsH2o and A was either substantially diminished (A) or eliminated gsH2o when stress C2H2 production in the leaf interior was metabolically inhibited by AVG. These data support the hypothesis that the rapid surge in production of stress C2H2 in response to chronic-level stresses in general and O2 specifically is not simply an indicator of the plant's physiological activity but rather is a chemical messenger or trigger that subsequently mediates some of the notable changes in carbon gain, stomatal physiology, and water use.

Fibrous (≤ 1 mm diameter) root length increased across the chronosequence, with the greatest length occurring in the prairie remnant. After an initial increase between the second and fifth growing seasons, the percentage of fibrous roots colonized by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi declined. However, this decline did not truly reflect the mycorrhizal association in this system because the length of fibrous roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi did not decrease after the fifth growing season but instead remained essentially constant throughout the remainder of the chronosequence. Evaluation of the data by fibrous root size classes indicated that increases in root length and colonized root length occurred largely in the smaller size class (< 0.2 mm diameter); in contrast, percentage colonization and the density of intraradical fungal structures was greater in the larger size class (0.2- 1 mm diameter). The importance of thoroughly evaluating responses of mycorrhizal fungi relative to host responses was demonstrated in a field situation.

World War II interrupted the careers, absorbed the creative energies and uprooted the lives of many physicists. While normal scientific communication and research in pure physics almost ceased to exit, there were some notable exceptions. Some physicists not engaged in weapons development managed to continue research, among them George D. Rochester and Cecil F. Powell in Britain. Rochester spent his nights at Manchester running a fire brigade, and his days teaching and doing cosmic-ray research with Lajos Jènossy. In 1947 Rochester and Clifford C. Butler discovered new particles that they called V particles because of the V-shaped tracks the particles left upon decaying in a cloud chamber. They observed the first V particle in October 1946. The second V particle, which they observed in May 1947, was a charged particle whose track showed a sharp kink and a change of ionization above the lead. Both V particles appeared to have masses about half that of the proton. The fifties saw a remarkable change in the particle physicist's laboratory, which received new tools, greatly increased funding and new institutional settings. By 1960 accelerators had replaced cosmic rays as the principal source of high-energy particles. Bubble chambers, spark chambers and scintillation counters replaced cloud chambers and nuclear emulsions as the principal detectors. Technical development is accelerators in the late 1940s were dominated by the discovery of the phase stability principle in 1944 by Vladimir Veksler in the Soviet Union and independently in 1945 by McMillan in the U.S. During the second of the decade the bubble chamber effectively replaced these modified cloud chambers .Invented in 1952 by Donald Glaser, the bubble chamber had a higher density, which enabled far better measurement of particle ranges and allowed operation in magnetic field to measure particle momentum.

JO - Journal of Conflict Resolution JF - Journal of Conflict Resolution Y1 - 1988/12// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 636 EP - 670 SN - 00220027 AB - We present numerical results from a nonlinear dynamical model with discrete time that simulates the implications of ballistic missile defense systems (SDI) on the arms race between the two superpowers. As dynamical variables we introduce the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), antiballistic missile systems (ABMs) and anti-ABM systems such as antisatellite weapons (ASAT) of each of the two sides. The time evolution of these systems (arms race) is simulated numerically under various parameter assumptions (scenarios). The a priori unpredictability of human decisions is simulated through random fluctuations of the buildup parameters. The results of our idealized model indicate that for most parameter combinations, the introduction of SDI systems leads to an extension of the offensive arms race rather than a transition to a defense-dominated strategic configuration. A reduction in the number of offensive weapons, that is, an approach to a defense-dominated strategy, was observed if either the number of reentry vehicles per ICBM (MIRV) is limited to much smaller values than presently realized or if the accuracy of offensive weapons is significantly reduced. For the case of a strongly accelerated arms buildup (either offensive or defensive), we observe a loss of stability of the solutions that we interpret as a transition to unpredictable chaos. We also incorporate a discussion of economic and risk parameters, both of which also tend to increase with the introduction of SDI systems.

We have shown that the first radio-labeled product of assimilation of [sup13]NH[sub4,sup+] (t[sub1/2] = 10 min) was glutamine in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana (Hustedt). When GS-GOGAT was inhibited with methionine sulfoximine, the incorporation of radioactivity into both glutamine and glutamate was blocked, implying that the radio lobeled glutamate is formed from glutamine. Glutamine was also the first labeled product when the intracellular concentration of ammonium was elevated by preincubation with unlabeled ammonium. The results indicate that the GS-GOGAT pathway is the primary pathway for the assimilation of nitrogen in T. pseudonana.

Net photosynthesis (PN) and stomatal conductance to H2O vapour (gs.H2O) were measured in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr cv. Davis) seedings after a 4 h exposure to one of a range of exogenous C2H4 concentrations (0-20 μl l-1) in a controlled environment system. Declines in both PN and gs.H2O shifted from first-order (linear decline) to zero-order (saturation response) with increasing C2H4 concentration. The response of gs.H2O to C2H4 was more pronounced than the response of PN with maximal declines for gs.H2O> of 32-48% and half-maximal response at 0.15 μl l-1. Corresponding parameters for PN were 18-29% inhibition and half-maximal response at 0.35 μl l-1. Both response curves were similar to those documented for C2H4 binding and for hormonally mediated C2H4 actions. Kinetic analysis of the saturation patterns by the Hill equation showed both responses to be ultrasensitive, i.e. they provide a relatively large change in gas exchange for a small change in C2H4 concentration. Based on this ultrasensitivity, we propose that endogenous stress C2H4 mediates some of the responsiveness of gas exchange to environmental stresses of natural and anthropogenic origin.

Ozone exposures (14 or 170 nl l-1) were made in open-top chambers, and in continuously stirred tank reactors (14, 160 or 320 nl-1) located in the field and laboratory, respectively. The CERs of whole shoots were measured in an open infrared gas analysis system at 6 levels of photosynthetic photon flux density (0.33, 60, 410, 800 and 1660 μmol m-2 s-1). Treatment effects were not consistent between field- and laboratory-exposed seedlings. Ozone-treated field seedlings exhibited statistically significant reductions in light-saturated CER of 12.5 and 25% when measured at 6 and 13 weeks, respectively. Laboratory seedlings exhibited mixed responses to O3, with one family showing reduced CER only after 6 weeks of O3 exposure and the other only after 13 weeks (O3 > 160 nl l-1 for both). After 13 weeks of exposure, pH 3.3, and 4.5 rain treatments enhanced light-saturated CER by an average of 52% over that observed in seedlings exposed to the pH 5.2 treatment. Enhanced CERs due to acid rain were of the same magnitude (3-5 μmol CO2 g-1s-1)as ozone-induced CER reductions. No differences in dark respiration were detected between treatments. Although ozone and acid rain treatments altered seedling CER, the differences were not translated into altered final plant dry weights over the 13-week exposure period.

The inverse transformation, induction variable substitution, can a!so speed up loops by decreasing register requirements, although it is typically a normalizing step in the detection of array dependences by parallelizing compilers. This paper presents a simple framework for performing these transformations. In contrast to previous approaches to strength reduction, no unnecessary temporary variables or dead code fragments are introduced, only relevant intermediate language fragments are examined, iteration test replacement is not handled as a special case, and the execution time of the target code is never increased. The method is particularly easy to visualize, making it a useful teaching tool as well.

Several new copper oxide systems involving the elements bismuth and thallium were discovered, some with transition temperature above 100 Kelvin. Advances in the growth of thin films of the new high-temperature superconductors have been dramatic. The original technique for fabricating thin films of these superconductors consists of depositing the constituents as an amorphous mixture of metals and oxides. The year has seen a lively debate about the most appropriate theoretical description of high-temperature superconductors. Perhaps the greatest effort has gone into exploring the relationship between magnetism and superconductivity, although it is by no means universally agreed that this is the correct approach. There are two widely occurring phenomenon in nature whose very generality requires some unifying underlying explanation. The first is a temporal effect which involves flicker noise, and the second phenomenon is the emergence of spatial structures with scale-invariant, self-similar properties found in differing systems.

The Collider Detector at Fermilab detector was run at the Tevatron collider in June 1988. The Tevatron has exceeded the design luminosity of a factor of ten higher than that achieved during the 1987 run. The standard electroweak model, the theory which incorporates both the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force, has been spectacularly successful. Two beam research areas have made significant advances over the past couple of years: pulsed power technology and photoinjector technology for high brightness electron beams.

The spectrum of a two-neutrino mode was measured using a time projection chamber, a device employing a large number of wires to track the two electrons from double beta decay as they leave the source. A study of the Earth's gravity in mines obtained a value of the gravitational constant that is about one percent greater than the value derived from laboratory measurements. Neutron-proton segregated universes produce less helium and more hydrogen than homogeneous universes. These effects are dramatic enough to being a segregated model into agreement with the helium and hydrogen abundances. The experimental identification of quark effects in nuclei would constitute important progress toward an understanding of the nucleus in terms of nucleons and mesons and in terms of quarks to help unify the meson-nucleon theory with quantum chromodynamics.

MN9 to determine the relationship between carbon partitioning and photosynthetic rate. Relative height growth rate of coppice shoots was 2.2 times that of intact shoots with net photosynthetic rate 1.9 times that of intact shoots. Coppice leaves exported a larger proportion of newly-fixed assimilate (11% compared with 6%) after a 4-h chase. The greater export from coppice leaves was correlated with a greater proportion of [14C]-labelled photosynthate deposited as starch in stems 4 cm below the point of label application. Coppice leaf assimilate levels were reduced to 15% that of leaves on intact plants, but coppice leaves had twice the concentration of labelled sucrose. Carbohydrates constituted 55% of the water-soluble [14C]-labelled photosynthate in leaves of coppice shoots compared with 40% in intact shoots. The results suggest that carbon allocation and partitioning in coppice shoots were altered towards production and export of new assimilate, and support the hypothesis that photosynthetic rate is responsive to sink demand for assimilates.

We used a kinetic approach to examine the specific factors which account for these changes in optical properties as cells photoadapt. Using Triton X-100 to solubilize membranes, we were able to differentiate between "package" effects and pigmentation effects. Our analyses suggest that 43-49% of the variability in a[SUP*] is due to changes in pigmentation, whereas 51-57% is due to the "package" effect Further analyses revealed that changes in cell size did not significantly affect packaging, while thylakoid stacking and the transparency of thylakoid membranes were important factors. Our results suggest that thylokoid membrane protein/lipid ratios change during photoadaplation, and these changes influence the effective rate of light harvesting per unit chlorophyll a.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1989/03// VL - 111 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 491 EP - 500 SN - 0028646X AB - White oak (Quercus alba L.) seedlings were grown from a half-sib collection of acorns in pots containing a nutrient-poor forest soil and maintained in controlled-environment chambers having mean atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 389, 496, and 793 cm³ m-3. Additions of nitrogen and phosphorus to the soil increased plant growth, indicating that the unfertilized plants were nutrient deficient. Despite the nutrient deficiency, the plants grown in elevated concentrations of CO2 generally were larger than those in ambient CO2, but dry weight data from harvests at 5, 12, 24, and 36 weeks provided insufficient evidence of an effect of CO2 because of the high variability associated with the recurrently-flushing habit of these seedlings. Mathematical growth analysis based on periodic non-destructive measurements allowed comparisons of the continuous growth patterns of the plants and avoided the problems of ontogeneitc variation. CO2 enrichment was thus shown to increase plant growth rate primarily through increased unit leaf rate rather than increased leaf area production. Unit leaf rate during the second half of the experiment was 22 and 27% higher in the medium and high concentrations of CO2 compared with that in low CO2. Instantaneous measurements of foliar gas exchange also showed that CO2 assimilation increased with CO2 enrichment. The most pronounced effect of CO2 enrichment was increased water-use efficiency, which was shown both through whole-plant gravimetric analysis and instantaneous gas exchange measurements. Whole-plant water-use efficiency for the duration of the experiment was increased by 52 and 82% by the mdiurn and high concentrations of CO2. Limitations of resources, including water and nutrients, do not preclude plant growth responses to CO2 enrichment of the atmosphere.

Anti-toxin titres of mouse scrum were measured and compared with proliferative reactions in popliteal lymph nodes, based on combined ³H-thymidine autoradiography and planimetry, as a function of time. FTT in complex with HGG in ABEX failed to elicit a measurable anti-toxin response but caused, of all the materials tested. the most marked numerical increase of germinal centres. This finding is in accord with results of earlier studies indicating that the same heterologous antigen-antibody complexes at EQ or in ABEX can prime the animals, usually without eliciting antibody production detectable by serum titration. The model system used in the present experiments is thus well suited for a separation of the two principal arms of the dichotomous humoral immune response, i.e. by inducing germinal centre and B cell memory development but not specific antibody formation.

The two subunit proteins (55 and 33 kDa) have been characterized chemically. Computer searches with partial amino acid sequences obtained from both subunits show that the larger subunit belongs to the cytochrome oxidase subunit I protein family while the smaller covalently hemebinding subunit is not a cytochrome c1 but appears to be a fused protein between cytochrome c and cytochrome oxidase subunit II.With respect to the 16-S rRNA-derived phylogeny of procaryotes, the results show that the genetic information for an O2-reacting cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) existed already in early bacteria.

JO - Journal of Phycology JF - Journal of Phycology Y1 - 1989/09// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 462 EP - 471 SN - 00223646 AB - The effect of steady-state nitrogen limitation on photosynthetic characteristics and growth efficiency was examined in the marine hoptohyte Isochrysis galbana Green. Nitrate limited chemostats were maintained at nine dilution rates, ranging from 0.18-0.96 d[SUP-1], under continuous irradiance levels of 175 μmole quanta m[SUP-2] s[SUP-1], an irradiance level which saturated photosynthesis at all growth rates. Nitrogen limitation led to an overall reduction in pigmentation and a decrease in the cellular concentration of reaction centers; however, the optical absorption cross section, normalized to Chl a, increased. Moreover, Chl c/a ratios were higher in nitrogen-limited cells; the change in Chl c/a ratios were correlated with an increase in the functional size of Photosystem II. Both light saturated photosynthetic rates normalized per cell and specific respiratory losses were positively linearly correlated with growth rate. Light saturates photosynthetic rates normalized to Chl a remained relatively insensitive to the rate of nitrogen supply the minimum quantum requirement for gross photosynthetic oxygen evolution increased from 12.4 to 17.0 quanta / O[SUB2] At the growth irradiance, the quantum requirement increased 88% from 19.9 to 37.5 quata / O[SUB2] photosynthesis, / respiration ratios remained relatively constant at dilution rates greater than 35% of the maximum relative growth rate. Consequently, net growth efficiency, defined as the ratio of the specific growth rate, μ, to specific gross photosynthesis, p. also remained relatively constant over this range of growth rates overaging 85 ± 3%.

The proteins included Photosystem I reaction center (RCI) chlorophyll protein, CPI; Photosystem II reaction enter (RC II) protein, D 1: two chlorophyll a-binding apoprotein, CP 43 and CP 47; 33 Kda oxygen evolving protein, OEC 33; α subunit of couling factor, CF 1 α large (LSU) and small subunits (SSU) of ribulose 1.5-bisphophae carboxylase, RUBixCO; the chlorophyll a/c/ fucoxanthin protein complex, LHCP; and cytochrome b[SUB6]/f. Seven of the ten protein complexes are encoded in the chloroplast, two are encoded in the nucleus and one shares chloroplast and unclear genomes. Over the rage of dilution rates (0.96- 0.18 d[SUP-1]) cell N decreased 42% and cellular chlorophyll a decreased 50% however, the stochimometric proportion of RC II: cytochrome b[SUB6] /f: RC I remained constant, averaging 1:3.3:.8. In constrast, RuBisCO/ PS II decreased by 58%. The light harvesting chlorophyll a/c/ fucoxanthign protein complex increased relative to RC II: however, as cells became more nitrogen limited the fraction of total cell nitrogen contained in RuBisCo decreased from 21.3 to 6.7% whereas that of the light harvesting complex remained relatively constant, averaging 6.8% Our results generally support the hypothesis that in nitrogen limited cells, protein encoded in the nuclear gnome are synthesized preferentially over those encoded in the chloroplast.

The young undergraduate gave his conclusion by asking two sets of questions about the significance of pursuing careers in science and the prospects for success in terms of making great scientific discoveries. To clarify guidance on so complex and subtle series of issues on career guidance, the author relates his passion for science and his experiences when he was in high school as a B-to-B+ student. He graduated from City College in New York as a cum laude--that is, with a B+ average. The author justifies that any trained scientist or engineer who is average is assured of employment at reasonable wages.

The cold hardiness of seedling was tested on October 24, January 24,and March 21 by subjecting needle samples from the first and last growth flush to temperatures of -5,-10,-15, and -20 °C and determining relative electrical conductivity of the diffusate. Seedlings exposed to twice ambient O3 levels during the growing season were less hardened in early autumn and spring than seedlings exposed to ambient or subambient levels of O3 suggesting that O3 affects the plant's hardening and dehardening processes. Ozone and soil Mg treatments had no significant effects on visible injury of shoots following freezing treatments, nor were any visible symptoms of injury due to O3 evident during the study. Water potential components of excised shoots were estimated using pressure volume analysis. Osmotic potentials became more negative over the dormant peroid, suggesting that solutes had accumulated in the cells as seedling hardened. Seedlings grown in high Mg soil had less negative osmotic potentials in January and March than those grown in Low Mg soil, suggesting that seedling in high Mg soil were more susceptible to cold temperatures,due to greater physiological activity.

The relatively rare articles on hashing functions themselves tend to discuss algorithms that operate on values of predetermined length or that make heavy use of operations (multiplication, division, or shifts of long bit strings) that are absent from the instruction sets of smaller microprocessors. Two desirable properties of this algorithm for hashing variable-length strings derive from the technique of cryptographic checksums or message authentication codes, from which it is adapted. First, a good cryptographic checksum ensures that small changes to the data result In large and seemingly random changes to the checksum. In the hashing adaptation, this results in good separation of very similar strings. The purpose of any text hashing function is to take text strings, even very similar text strings and map them onto integers that are spread as uniformly as possible over the intended range of output values. In the absence of prior knowledge about the strings being hashed, a perfectly uniform output distribution cannot be expected.

Seismic traveltime tomography uses first arrival traveltime data to invert for wave-speed structure. Of course, the traveltime is itself a line integral along a refracting ray path through the medium being probed. The similarity between these two inversion problems is discussed. One type of neural network—the Hopfield net—may be used to improve the traveltime inversion. We find that, by taking advantage of the general relationship between least-squares solutions and generalized inverses, the neural networks approach eliminates the need for inverting singular or poorly conditioned matrices and therefore also eliminates the need for the damping term often used to regularize such inversions. This procedure produces reconstructions with fewer artifacts and faster convergence than those attained previously using damped least-squares methods.

The protein has been partially purified from human placenta. It reacts with second-order rate constants of 2.20 × 108 and 0.067 × 108 lmol-1 min-1 at 37 °C for duplex and single-stranded DNA substrates, respectively. The corresponding value for the alkylated base in synthetic poly(dC, dG, m6G) is 0.02 × 108 1 mol-1 min- 1. The native protein is monomeric with a molecular mass of 22–24 kDa. Methylation of the protein does not lead to a gross change in its conformation but causes a slight reduction in its isoelectric point of 6.2. Although DNA protects the protein from heat inactivation, both duplex and single-stranded DNAs inhibit its activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The transferase reaction rate is also strongly inhibited by salt with about 20% of the maximum rate observed in physiological ionic strength. This inhibition is nonspecific with respect to the ions of univalent salts.

Fungal isolates of Rhizopogon roseolus (Corda) Hollos and Suillus punctipes (Peck) Sing. released significant quantities of cytokinin-like substances into the culture medium. In contrast, Cenococcum geophilum (Fr.), Hebeloma crustuliniforme (Bull. ex. St. Amans) Qual., Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker and Couch, Suillus granulatus (L. ex. Fr.) O. Kuntze, and Thelephora terrestris (Ehrh.) Fr. failed to elicit a positive cytokinin response in the soybean bioassay. Purification of S. punctipes culture filtrates by cation exchange, organic solvent partitioning, and separation on Sephadex LH-20 revealed the presence of compounds with the same retention volume as zeatin and zeatin riboside. Greenhouse studies with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) indicated that, together with improved plant growth and enhanced mineral nutrition, P. tinctorius mediated a significant effect on host cytokinin relations. Cytokinin activity of extracted needles increased 44 and 30% for 12- and 14-month-old seedings, respectively, following ectomycorrhizal establishment. Axenically grown seedlings colonized by S. punctipes showed no alterations in growth, nutrition, or cytokinin concentration, compared to non-inoculated controls, even though mycorrhizal formation exceeded 30%. The ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to affect host cytokinins was not dependent upon an ability to synthesize cytokinins in pure culture. Results are discussed in relation to improved mineral nutrition, enhanced root growth, and increased short-root proliferation in the ectomycorrhizal association.

The seedlings were fumigated during the growing seasons (approximately April--October) with ozone at the following target levels: subambient (CF), ambient (AMB), and ambient +60 ppb (AMB +). At the end of the three growing seasons, no significant ozone effects on diameter, height or total biomass of the seedlings were detected, and no statistically significant ozone-family interactions were detected. Analysis of growth trends suggest that drought during the second and third growing seasons may have interacted with the ozone treatments. The importance of long-term studies under realistic field conditions is discussed.

Photoacclimation occurs on a number of levels. This review uses the term "acclimation" to refer to physiological processes as distinct from adaptation, which refers to evolutional processes. Morphologically it is accompanied by changes in cell volume, the number and density of thylakoid membranes, the size of pyrenoids and other storage bodies within plastids, and sometimes by changes in the number of plastids per cell. On a cellular level there are changes in pigment and lipid content and composition.

My hypothese were 1) that small herbivores would remove more periphyton per unit biomass than large herbivores of the same species because of energetic demands and 2) that within the same size class, starved herbivores would remove more periphyton than nonstarved herbivores. The herbivore used was the prosobranch snail Elimia clavaeformis Lea. Seven treatments were employed: 1) no snails (control); 2) small "starved" annals;3) large "starved" snails' 4 (small and large "starved" snails; 3) small fed snails; 6) large fed snails removed significant amounts of periphyton 'AFDM relative to controls, neither snail size nor degree of starvation had a significant effect on loss of total AFDM. Small snails removed significantly more erect forms of Stigeoclonium tenue (C. A. AG) Kütz, than large snails, but snail size had no other significant effect. Starved snails removed significantly more cocconeis placentula Ehr.than fed snails, suggesting that after the more susceptible growth forms (e.g. erect stigeoclonium) were removed, cocconeis cells became more vulnerable to grazing by hungry snails. When small and large snails were combined in chambers, large snails gained weight over time, whereas small snails lost weight.

Asp124 is H-bonded to the NH of two histidines, one of which is bound to copper and the other to zinc. The mutant proteins, as expressed in Escherichia coli, result in an essential zinc-free enzyme which is similar to that obtained from the wild-type derivative through chemical manipulation. Only by extensive dialysis against 0.5 M ZnCl2 or CoCl2 at pH 5.4 was it possible to reconstitute approximately 50% of the molecules in the Cu2Zn2 or Cu2Co2 form. The new derivatives have been characterized through EPR, CD and nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion techniques. The Cu2Cox derivatives (x ≈ 1) were used to monitor, through electronic and ¹H-NMR spectroscopies, the metal sites which are found to be similar to those of the wild type. In addition, a double substitution with asparagine has been made, replacing the invariant aspartate at position 124 and the highly conserved aspartate at position 125. The behavior is similar to that of the other mutants in most respects. The Cu2E2 (E = empty) derivatives of the mutants are stable, even in the pH range 8-10, whereas in the case of the Cu2E2 derivative of the wild type, copper migration occurs at high pH, producing both Cu2Cu2 and apo derivatives. The activity measurements indicate that the various Cu2E2 derivatives have the same activity at tow pH and similar to that of the holoenzyme. A full profile up to pH 10.5 was obtained for the mutants.

Some minima are deep enough to support quasistationary states. The states are metastable because the decay is inhibited by the required shape change. Detection of these metastable states and their associated rotational bands allows us to investigate nuclei at large deformations and test existing theoretical predictions. The identification of these difficult-to-locate structures will permit the detailed study of nuclei at extraordinarily high deformation, providing new insights into nuclear structure. We discuss the application of model-based image processing techniques to detect and enhance the nuclear rotational bands in noisy experimental measurements. The aim of the experiment is to identify the shape isomer by detecting the presence of the associated rotational band pattern. Unfortunately, the band signal is only ≈1% or less of the amplitude of similar disturbance signals due to the nuclear states of normal deformation; thus the signal-to-noise ratio is quite poor. Thus it is necessary to investigate image processing techniques to detect and extract the predicted band pattern. Using a model-based approach, that is, characterizing a particular band by a simple mathematical model and incorporating it into an image processing scheme, we show that we are able to solve the band pattern detection and enhancement problems from both synthesized and measured experimental data.

Based on the pattern of leaf initiation and nutrient requirements of the species, it was predicted that (1) CO2 enrichment would enhance growth of yellow-poplar seedlings both through accelerated leaf area production and through higher rates of carbon assimilation per unit leaf area; and (2) growth enhancement of yellow-poplar by CO2 enrichment would be reduced by nutrient limitations. The hypotheses were tested in an experiment in which yellow-poplar plants were grown from seed for 24 weeks in controlled-environment chambers. The experimental design comprised three atmospheric CO2 concentrations (371, 493, and 787 cm³ m-3), two levels of mineral nutrients (unfertilized or weekly additions of complete nutrient solution), and three harvests (6, 12, and 24 weeks). Plant growth rate, water use, foliar gas exchange, component dry weights, and nutrient contents were measured. Both hypotheses were rejected. Whole-plant dry weight increased similarly with CO2 enrichment in plants provided with additional mineral nutrients and in unfertilized plants, although the fertilized plants grew 10-fold larger. The increase in dry weight resulting from elevated CO2 occurred only in root systems. Although leaves were produced continuously during the experiment, leaf area was slightly reduced in elevated CO2, and the whole-plant growth response was wholly attributable to an increase in carbon assimilation per unit leaf area. Although the compensation between photosynthesis and leaf area reduced the potential growth response to CO2, the reduction in leaf area ratio was associated with a significant increase in water-use efficiency. This unexpected result demonstrated the importance of feedbacks and interactions between resources in shaping the response of a plant to CO2.

This enzyme was also inhibited in situ, with corresponding inhibition of ATP-dependent quenching of the chlorophyll fluorescence. The mode of inhibition was noncompetitive, with a K1 of 8 μM for the membrane-bound kinase, and 6 μM for the purified kinase. The inhibitor did not modify the substrate preference of the endogenous kinase and could be removed from the membrane by washing. Unlike reactive blue 2, the enzyme did not partition into detergent micelles and is therefore presumably not a hydrophobic, intrinsic membrane protein.

JO - International Journal of Numerical Modelling JF - International Journal of Numerical Modelling Y1 - 1991/06// VL - 4 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 123 EP - 138 SN - 08943370 AB - Computer models in electromagnetics are based primarily either on integral or on differential equations. The former arise from source integrals using some appropriate Green's function whereas the latter originate from the Maxwell curl equations. Although requiring volume rather than surface sampling even for spatially homogeneous problems, in contrast to integral-equation (JE) models, differential-equation (DE) models are geneally a better choice for problems involving spatial inhomogeneities. This is because such problems require volumetric sampling using either approach, but the DE model produces a sparse matrix rather than the full matrix of the IE formulation. In this paper we describe a new approach based on using multiply propagated fields for numerically solving the banded matrix that results from discretizing the Helmholtz equation. A computer-time savings of N1/2 and N2/3 for two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) problems, respectively, is made possible, where N is the total number of field samples or unknowns. For even moderate-size problems where 100 samples per linear dimension are used (N2 = 10,000 and N3 = 1,000,000), the time savings can be of the order of 100 arid 10,000 respectively. Another advantage of this procedure, which we call Helmholtz equation multiple propagator (HEMP), is that the radiation or closure condition needed to terminate the spatial solution mesh for exterior problems can be enforced rigorously with essentially no additional computational cost. The method is illustrated for a 2-D problem by application to plane-wave scattering from an infinite, metal, circular cylinder. Results are presented for the mode amplitudes of the scattered field, the induced surface current, and the bistatic far field as obtained from HEMP, and shown to be in good agreement with the analytical results. Although limited here to the simplest possible application in order to establish its feasibility, the approach's advantage would be its applicability to 2-D and 3-D problems involving inhomogeneous, penetrable objects.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1991/06// VL - 118 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 315 EP - 321 SN - 0028646X AB - Respiration rates of roots of loblolly pine (Pinus toeda L.) seedlings decreased in response to elevated ozone (O3) concentrations. Estimated annual root respiration rates were 12 % less in seedlings exposed to twice-ambient O3 (7 h mean = 70-110 nl 1-1) than in seedlings exposed to sub-ambient O3 (7 h mean = 20-40 nl 1-1). Measurements taken during periods of relatively rapid and of negligible root growth suggest that the reduced root respiration may be due to both reduced maintenance respiration and reduced growth respiration. Respiration rates of the soil substrate of the O3-exposed seedlings were also below those of the substrate of seedlings exposed to sub-ambient O3. The study supports the theory that there is a reduced supply of photosynthates to the roots of plants exposed to elevated O3. It is hypothesized that a reduced supply of photosynthates to the roots may affect soil respiration rates by reducing root exudation rates and, consequently, reducing rhizosphere microbial populations.

Few superconducting materials have been presented with the structural elegance and complexity displayed by the high-temperature copper oxides. The structures of these materials, consisting of metal-oxygen layers stacked in a variety of sequences, with the metal atoms often in unusual coordinations, are interesting in their own right. More importantly, the present understanding of the properties of oxide superconductors depends heavily on a knowledge of their structures. We have learned, however, that knowing the average or ideal structure is not sufficient. We must also understand what defects are present, and whether they are ordered, before we can correlate the structural and superconducting properties and use structural information as a probe of the underlying physics. Although the average, or ideal, structures have been determined for all of the known copper oxide superconductors, it is clear that we cannot use the structural information to fully understand their superconducting properties until our knowledge of the structure is extended to the local scale.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1991/09// VL - 119 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 69 EP - 81 SN - 0028646X AB - The effects of soil nitrogen availability and chronic ozone stress on carbon and nutrient economy were investigated in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.). One-year-old seedlings were planted individually in pots in forest soil of low (58 μg g-1), medium (96 μg g-1) or high (172 μg g-1) initial concentrations of soluble nitrogen. The seedlings were exposed to ozone in open-top field chambers at sub-ambient (charcoal-filtered air), ambient, and elevated (ambient+60 nl l-1 O3) (32, 56, 108 nl l-1 O3, 7 h seasonal mean, respectively) levels for 18 weeks. At final harvest loblolly pine dry matter increased by 50% at the highest soil N level relative to the low with the largest gains in new needle biomass. Elevated ozone reduced the biomass of current-year needles by 20% in plants grown at the highest N level. Higher soil N supply increased the concentration of nitrogen in needles, stimulated current-year needle photosynthesis and increased needle and whole-plant water-use efficiencies. Ozone treatment had no significant effect on photosynthesis or water-use efficiency in either species, although ozone exposure tended to reduce stomatal conductance in loblolly pine. The low N treatment increased the proportion of dry matter allocated to line roots in yellow-poplar, but whole-plant dry weight had not responded to N fertilization at the final harvest, suggesting other limitations on growth. Ozone exposure increased leaf abscission and doubled leaf turnover in yellow-poplar. Although yellow-poplar was highly sensitive to ozone-induced leaf abscission, final whole-plant dry weights were not affected. The indeterminate growth habit of yellow-poplar permitted compensatory leaf growth which may have ameliorated effects of chronic ozone stress on biomass gain. Ozone exposure also decreased shoot weight more than root weight.

The resulting recombinant plasmid (pSM10) directs the hyperproduction of a polypeptide of 70.6 kDa corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of pneumococcal DNA polymerase I. Induced cells synthesized catalytically active protein to the extent of 7% of the total soluble protein in the cells. The polymerase fragment was purified to greater than 90% homogeneity with a yield of 1.5 mg pure protein/I culture. The protein has DNA polymerase activity, but no exonuclease activity. The enzyme requires a divalent cation (MgCl2 or MnCl2) for polymerization of DNA. Comparison of the mutant and wild-type pneumococcal polymerases shows that the construction did not affect the enzymatic affinity for the various substrates. The mutant protein, like its parent DNA polymerase I, exhibited an intermediate level of activity with primed single-stranded DNA. At high molar ratio of enzyme/DNA substrate, the polymerase fragment catalyzes strand displacement and switching after completing the replication of a primed single-stranded M13 DNA molecule.

Because stochastic cooling is a random process, the performance of the system is directly proportional to the bandwidth of the system. Electrodes that sense and correct the position of particles in the beam must accommodate octave bandwidths in the range from 1 to 16 GHz.

T1 - DECOHERENCE AND THE TRANSITION FROM QUANTUM TO CLASSICAL. JO - Physics Today JF - Physics Today Y1 - 1991/10// VL - 44 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 36 EP - 44 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00319228 AB - This article explains the process of decoherence and the emergence of classical behavior from quantum dynamics. An analysis of quantum measurements due to John von Neumann is presented in this article. The quantum mechanics of the universe must allow for possible large quantum fluctuations of space-time geometry at certain epochs and scales. In particular, it may include important effects of quantum gravity early in the expansion of the universe. Significant progress in the study of decoherence in this context has been reported by Murray Gell-Mann and James B. Hartle, who are pursuing a program suitable for quantum cosmology that may be called the many-histories interpretation. A set of coarse-grained alternatives for a quantum system at a given time can be represented by a set of mutually exclusive projection operators, each corresponding to a different range of values for some properties of the system at that time. The definition of consistent histories for a closed quantum system was first proposed by Robert Griffiths. Gell-Mann and Hartle pointed out that in practice somewhat stronger conditions than Griffiths' tend to hold whenever histories decohere. The origin of the question about the interpretation quantum physics can be traced to the clash between predictions of the Schrödinger equation and the perceptions presented in this paper.

The main argument for decreasing the number of warheads on a missile is that being able to spread the total number of warheads set by START over more missiles that allows the strategic nuclear force to be more flexibly configured. It can also save money. In addition, most strategic thinkers believing the number of warheads on land-based, multiple-warhead missiles would enhance stability in a crisis. Originally the U.S. favored downloading and Soviet Union opposed it, but by Round XIV in 1990 the two sides had essentially reversed positions. The reasons for this are complex, involving competing views in U.S. agencies and presumably in the Soviet Union as well. The issue of how downloading relates to crisis stability is more complex. The START compromise on downloading, however, enhances crisis stability. First, it specifies that if an intercontinental ballistic missile is downloaded by more than two warheads, it must be equipped with a new front-section platform, and all old platforms must be destroyed.

According to the author, START is probably good news. Defense against nuclear attack carried by thousands of missiles will continue to look like an insoluble problem. But the author believes that a slow reduction in the number of long-range nuclear missiles may make solving the problem somewhat more practical. On the other hand, completely eliminating nuclear arsenals would leave the world vulnerable to the Saddam Husseins who, with dictatorial regimes, manage to violate international agreements on weapons on mass destruction. Therefore, in the author's view, the destruction of all nuclear weapons is not a desirable or realistic goal. In the long run, according to him, a true end to the Cold War should carry with it universal opposition to aggression and international cooperation in developing defensive systems. The author believes that the success in developing strategic defensive systems requires a plan ambitious enough to be significant, but limited to the extent that it should be feasible. In his opinion, the most essential ingredient is a general policy of openness.

The Dynamic Ecological-Land Tenure Analysis (DELTA) is being developed as a game-playing tool, and is currently being used to simulate tenant farmer colonization and its effects on deforestation and associated carbon losses. The model is used to contrast the typical pattern of colonist land use in Rondonia, Brazil, with a system of sustainable agriculture. The comparison made possible by the simulation model shows how these two extremes of land use can affect carbon storage and release. While it is at present difficult to verify the regional carbon depletion totals generated by the simulation model a situation that will improve as better data and better methods for their generation, use of the model to ask what if questions is leading to a better understanding of the effects on regional carbon loss of different land tenure as well as land use practices in the tropics.

This particular problem was chosen as one in a sequence leading to a capability for modeling wire antennas and scatterers of arbitrary geometry located on either side of or penetrating such an interface. Results are presented as a function of medium chirality for the dipole in an infinite medium and as a function of chirality and height for the half-space problem. An approximation for the latter problem which uses the reflection-coefficient approximation (RCA) is compared with the rigorous treatment and found to produce acceptable results for the cases studied.

Control samples of Escherichia coli and calf thymus DNA were also analyzed. The nucleoside base composition of each DNA sample was determined by reversed-phase high perfomance liquid chromatography. All samples contained 5-methyldeoxycytidine, although at widely varying levels. In M.minutum, about one-third of the cytidine residues were methylated. Restriction analysis supported this high degree of methylation in M.minutum, about one-third of the cytidine residues were methylated. Restriction analysis supported this high degree of methylation in M. minutum and suggested that methylation is biased toward 5'-CG dinucleotides. The guanosine + cytosine (GC) contents of the green algae were, with the exception of Stichococcus sp., consistently higher than those of the diatoms. Monoraphidium minutum exhibited an extremely high GC content of 71%. Such a value is rare among eukaryotic organisms and might indicate an unusual codon usage. This work is important for developing strategies for transformation and gene cloning in these algae.

An early performance evaluation of the VP-200 and the S810/20, using benchmark codes designed to represent the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) computing work-load, showed that the VP-200 could be two to three times as fast as a single (9.5ns) CRAY X-MP/24 processor for highly vectorized codes, although the scalar performance of the two machines was comparable [5]. The S810/20 did not perform as well as the X-MP and the VP-200, largely because of a longer central processing unit (CPU) clock period and poorer scalar performance.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1992/08// VL - 121 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 515 EP - 523 SN - 0028646X AB - Specific respiration rate (SRR) was mathematically partitioned into its growth and maintenance components for leaves of yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.)after 3 yr of CO2 enrichment in open-top field chambers. Despite the absence of a CO2 effect on individual leaf expansion or specific growth rate (SGR), increasing the CO2 concentration to ambient + 150 or + 300 cm3 m-3 decreased SRR by 28 to 45% compared with ambient-grown controls. These lower leaf respiration rates were correlated with reduced leaf nitrogen concentrations. As described by the two-component model of growth and maintenance respiration, SRR was a linear function of SGR. Ambient-grown leaves had a growth respiration coefficient of 704 mg CO2 g-1 dry mass compared with 572 and 570 mg CO2 g-1 for leaves grown at the two higher CO2, concentrations. Leaves from the elevated CO2 treatments had an average maintenance respiration coefficient of 88 mg CO2 g-1 dry mass d-1 compared with 135 mg CO2 g-1 d-1 for leaves from the ambient treatment. Incorporating these growth and maintenance coefficients into a leaf growth simulation model indicated that total respiration would be reduced by 21 to 26% for a leaf exposed to + 150 or + 300 cm3 m3 CO2 throughout its 50-d lifespan compared with one grown at ambient CO2 conditions. Reductions in total respiration were dominated by a lower rate of maintenance respiration, while the contribution of a lower specific rate of growth respiration was largely offset by a greater dry mass for leaves grown at elevated CO2 concentrations. Although reductions in the respiratory loss of carbon could be beneficial, respiration is unlikely to decrease without a concomitant decrease in other metabolic processes. Whether these reductions are beneficial or detrimental to the long-term growth of plants exposed to elevated CO2 remains unresolved.

JO - Energy Journal JF - Energy Journal Y1 - 1992/09// VL - 13 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 90 PB - International Association for Energy Economics, Inc. SN - 01956574 AB - More U.S. utilities are running more and larger demand-side management (DSM) programs. Assessing the cost-effectiveness of these programs raises difficult questions for utilities and their regulators. In particular, should these programs aim to minimize the total cost of providing electric-energy services or should they minimize the price of electricity? Most of the debates about the appropriate economic tests to use in assessing utility programs do not address the magnitude of the impacts. As a result, questions remain about the relationships among utility DSM programs and acquisition of supply resources and the effects of these choices on electricity prices and costs. This study offers quantitative estimates on the tradeoffs between total costs and electricity prices. A dynamic model is used to assess the effects of energy-efficiency programs on utility revenues, total resource costs, electricity prices, and electricity consumption for the period 1990 to 2010. These DSM programs are assessed under alternative scenarios for three utilities: a "base" that is typical of U.S. utilities; a "surplus" utility that has excess capacity, few planned retirements, and slow growth in fossil-fuel prices and incomes; and a "deficit" utility that has little excess capacity, many planned retirements, and rapid growth in fossil-fuel prices and incomes. Model results show that DSM programs generally reduce electricity costs and increase electricity prices. However, the percentage reduction in costs is usually greater than the percentage increase in prices. On the other hand, most of the cost benefits of DSM programs can be obtained without raising electricity prices.

Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and Australia for an Alu family insertion polymorphism. The frequency of this Alu insertion shows significant heterogeneity among island subgroups of the Indonesian sample and between the Japanese-Indonesian populations and the Australian-New Guinean populations. The simple. rapid PCR-based screening technique and the significant frequency differences among populations demonstrate that Alu insertion polymorphisms are potentially valuable markers for studies of the evolutionary history and migration patterns of modern humans.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1992/10// VL - 122 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 329 EP - 337 SN - 0028646X AB - Nitric acid vapour enriched with 15N (H15NO3) was volatilized into the cuvette of an open-flow gas exchange system containing red maple (Acer rubrum L.), white oak (Quercus alba L.), or loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedling shoots to facilitate direct measurements of total foliar deposition, and subsequent assessments of the rate of HNO3 movement across the cuticle (transcuticular uptake). Total H15NO3 vapour deposition to foliar surfaces ranged from < 5 to 27 nmol m--2 s-1, the variability being largely accounted for by differences in HNO3, concentrations and leaf conductance. Mean whole-leaf conductance to HNO3 ranged between 0.9 and 3.4 mm for hardwoods and between 6 and 34 mm s-1 for loblolly pine. Of the total H15NO3 vapour deposited to leaves, an average of 39 to 48% was immediately 'bound' into hardwood foliage whereas only 3% was bound to loblolly pine needles. This implies that rain events might extract greater amounts of HNO3-derived nitrate in throughfall from conifer canopies as compared to hardwood canopies. Post-exposure H15NO3 uptake rates across the leaf cuticle increased with surface nitrate concentrations, but were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower (0.06 to 0.24 nmol m-2 s-1) than total HNO3 deposition during exposures. A generalized leaf-level model of HNO3 deposition to foliage capable of simulating deposition pathways to sorption sites on the leaf surface, and to the metabolically active leaf interior via transcuticular or stomatal pathways is formulated and suggested for use in planning future work on HNO3 deposition.

The basis of comparison is to the results of several test problems providing both qualitative and quantitative results. Results show that using an upwind biased limiter provides higher resolution of both smooth and discontinuous solutions from a lower amount of induced numerical viscosity. The conclusion is that a limiter should have as small a support as possible in order to limit its effects if high resolution is the object.

JO - Plant, Cell & Environment JF - Plant, Cell & Environment Y1 - 1993/09// VL - 16 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 797 EP - 807 SN - 01407791 AB - Responses of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were monitored throughout a 3-year field exposure of Liriodendron tulipifera (yellow-poplar) and Quercus alba (white oak) to elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2. Exposure to atmospheres enriched with +150 and +300 μmol mol-1 CO2 increased net photosynthesis by 12-144% over the course of the study. Net photosynthesis was consistently higher at +300 than at +150 μmol mol-1 CO2. The effect of CO2 enrichment on stomatal conductance was limited, hut instantaneous leaf-level water use efficiency increased significantly. No decrease in the responsiveness of photosynthesis to CO2 enrichment over time was detected, and the responses were consistent throughout the canopy and across successive growth flushes and seasons. The relationships between internal CO2 concentration and photosynthesis (e.g. photosynthetic capacity and carboxylation efficiency) were not altered by growth at elevated concentrations of CO2. No alteration in the timing of leaf senescence or abscission was detected, suggesting that the seasonal duration of effective gas-exchange was unaffected by CO2 treatment. These results are consistent with data previously reported for these species in controlled-environment studies, and suggest that leaf-level photosynthesis does not down-regulate in these species as a result of acclimation to CO2 enrichment in the field, This sustained enhancement of photosynthesis provides the opportunity for increased growth and carbon storage by trees as the atmospheric concentration of CO2 rises, but many additional factors interact in determining whole-plant and forest responses to global change.

The conventional frequency-domain Prony's technique can estimate these parameters from sampled, frequency-domain data. However, it fails to estimate the true parameters when the sampled data contains contributions from out-of-band poles. In this paper, an extended frequency- domain Prony's technique is developed that circumvents this problem by adding polynomial terms to the standard, Prony pole series. This new technique is shown to be very effective for estimating the poles of transfer functions over very wide bandwidths, without the need for large numbers of simultaneous equations, even when the data are corrupted by noise.

JO - Journal of Phycology JF - Journal of Phycology Y1 - 1993/12// VL - 29 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 755 EP - 766 SN - 00223646 AB - The effects of nitrate, phosphate, and iron starvation and resupply on photosynthetic pigments, selected photosynthetic proteins, and photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry were examined in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin (CCMP 1327). Although cell chlorophyll a (chl a ) content decreased in nutrient-starved cells, the ratios of light-harvesting accessory pigments (chl c and fucoxanthin) to chl a were unaffected by nutrient starvation. The chl a-specific light absorption coefficient (a*) and the functional absorption cross-section of PSII (σ) increased during nutrient starvation, consistent with reduction of intracellular self-shading (i.e. a reduction of the "package effect") as cells became chlorotic. The light-harvesting complex proteins remained a constant proportion of total cell protein during nutrient starvation, indicating that chlorosis mirrored a general reduction in cell protein content. The ratio of the xanthophyll cycle pigments diatoxanthin and diadinoxanthin to chl a increased during nutrient starvation. These pigments are thought to play a photoprotective role by increasing dissipation of excitation energy in the pigment bed upstream from the reaction centers. Despite the increase in diatoxanthin and diadinoxanthin, the efficiency of PSII photochemistry, as measured by the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (F[SUBv]/F[SUBm]) of dark-adapted cells, declined markedly under nitrate and iron starvation and moderately under phosphate starvation. Parallel to changes in F[SUBv]/F[SUBm] Were decreases in abundance of the reaction center protein D1 consistent with damage of PSII reaction centers in nutrient-starved cells. The relative abundance of the carboxylating enzyme, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RUBISCO), decreased in response to nitrate and iron starvation but not phosphate starvation. Most marked was the decline in the abundance of the small subunit of RUBISCO in nitrate-starved cells. The changes in pigment content and fluorescence characteristics were typically reversed within 24 h of resupply of the limiting nutrient.

JO - Journal of Phycology JF - Journal of Phycology Y1 - 1993/12// VL - 29 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 767 EP - 777 SN - 00223646 AB - What limits phytoplankton growth in nature? The answer is elusive because of methodological problems associated with bottle incubations and nutrient addition experiments. We are investigating the possibility that antibodies to proteins repressed by a specific nutrient can be used as probes to indicate which nutrient limits photosynthetic carbon fixation in the ocean. The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin and the chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher were grown in batch cultures in artificial seawater and f/2 nutrient lacking either phosphorus, iron, or nitrogen. Chlorosis was induced by nutrient limitation in both species with the exception of phosphorus-limited D. tertiolecta. The synthesis and appearance of specific proteins were followed by labeling with [SUP14]C-bicarbonate. Nutrient limitation in general leads to a decrease in the quantum efficiency of photosystem II, suggesting that deficiency of any nutrient affects the photosynthetic apparatus to some degree; however, the effect of nitrogen and iron limitation on quantum efficiency is more severe than that of phosphorus. A crude fractionation of the soluble and membrane proteins demonstrated that the large proteins induced under limitation by phosphorus and iron were associated with the membranes. However, small iron-repressible proteins were located in the soluble fraction. Isolation with anion-exchange chromatography and N-terminal sequencing of iron-repressible, 23-kDa proteins from D. tertiolecta, P. tricornutum, and Chaetoceros gracilis revealed that these small soluble proteins have strong homology with the N-terminal sequence of flavodoxins from Azotobacter and Clostridium. The identity of the flavodoxin from D. tertiolecta was confirmed by immunodetection using antiflavodoxin raised against Chlorella. Flavodoxin was detected only under iron deprivation and was absent from nitrogen- and phosphorus-limited algae. Flavodoxin is a prime candidate for a molecular probe of iron limitation in the ocean. The requirements to confirm its utility in nature are discussed.

The research does not spell out any result such as whether the Soviet military joined any diverse ethnic group or troubled the existing ethical problems. The result comes out to be that ethnic relations had a considerable impact on military performances. It is inferred that the performance of those units is better that are having better ethnic relations than the units that are having poor relations.

The objective of these experiments was to determine the hydrodynamic compressibility (dynamic pressure-volume response) of silicon carbide through shock measurements on the ceramic-metal composite and the application of analytic mixture theory. Compression states inferred for silicon carbide above 20 GPa appear consistent with hydrodynamic behavior and are in agreement with compression curves extrapolated from ultrasonic data. Dynamic strength or viscosity effects apparently complicate shock compression of the ceramic-metal composite at the lower shock pressures. Shock release experiments on the composites provide further high-pressure equation-of-state data for the ceramic-metal mixture.

Concentration profiles were measured by secondary-ion mass spectrometry and by a radiotracer serial-sectioning technique for the single and polycrystals, respectively. The diffusion coefficients of Ag in the c direction of 2212 at 500 and 600 °C at one atmosphere of oxygen are approximately four orders of magnitude smaller than those previously measured in 2212 polycrystals by [Y.

In this review we discuss this rapidly expanding field of study and propose that both increasing and decreasing rates of leaf and whole-plant respiration are likely to occur in response to rising CO2 concentrations. While the stimulatory effects of CO2 on respiration are consistent with our knowledge of leaf carbohydrate status and plant metabolism, we wish to emphasize the rather surprising short-term inhibition of leaf respiration by elevated CO2 and the reported effects of long-term CO2 exposure on growth and maintenance respiration. As is being found in many studies, it is easier to document the respiratory response of higher plants to elevated CO2 than it is to assign a mechanistic basis for the observed effects. Despite this gap in our understanding of how respiration is affected by CO2 enrichment, data are sufficient to suggest that changes in leaf and whole-plant respiration may be important considerations in the carbon dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems as global CO2 continues to rise. Suggestions for future research that would enable these and other effects of CO2 on respiration to be unravelled are presented.

Design: Three-arm, placebo-controlled, randomized parallel trial. The study duration was 2.9 ± 1.1 (SD) years. Setting: General community. Participants: 118 healthy, white women 3 to 6 years after spontaneous menopause, recruited by community announcement. Interventions: Random allocation to daily intake of 1700 mg of calcium (calcium carbonate given in divided doses with meals); placebo; or conjugated equine estrogens (0.625 mg; days 1 to 25), progesterone (10 mg; days 16 to 25), and 1700 mg of elemental calcium daily. Each participant received 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Main Outcome Measures: Total body calcium measured by delayed gamma neutron activation analysis and whole-body counting; bone mineral density of the spine, femur, and radius measured by photon absorptiometry. Results: Bone mineral density declined in the placebo group for the lumbar spine (-2.1 %/y; 95% CI, -3.3 to -0.9), femoral neck (-2.0%/y; CI,-2.6 to -1.2), trochanter (-1.6%/y; CI, -2.4 to-0.8), Ward triangle (-2.7%/y; CI, -3.7 to -1.7), and total body calcium (-2.0%/y; CI, -2.2 to-1.8). Rates of change were intermediate for calcium augmentation compared with placebo and estrogen-progesterone-calcium but statistically significant compared with placebo for total body calcium (-0.5%/y; CI, -0.9 to -- 0.1; P = 0.006) and the femoral neck (-0.8%/y; CI, -1.4 to -0.2; P = 0.03). Conclusions: Although less effective than estrogen-progesterone-calcium, calcium augmentation alone significantly retards bone loss from the femoral neck and improves calcium balance in recently postmenopausal women. Dietary calcium augmentation should be recommended as a strategic option in helping to prevent early postmenopausal bone loss.

Unfortunately, for those who simply wish to use the tool, exploiting parallelism in physical problems brings with it a new set of challenges. Issues that were not important for vector supercomputer implementation can seriously impact a simulation's performance on a ML machine. These include decomposing the physical problem into naturally parallel parts, load balancing the computation across multiple processors, efficiently communicating data between processors, and fast movement of data in and out of the machine. It is these issues-which the engineer/scientist views as tangential to the task of actually solving the problem at hand, that have created the perception that parallel computers are a specialty breed and have slowed their acceptance by industry. As large parallel machines become more generally available to the traditional vector supercomputer user community, and programmers become accustomed to thinking about their problems from the perspective of parallelism, creating new parallel simulations will become commonplace and thus easier. A second component of the solution is auxiliary tools supplied by vendors and third parties.

Calls for service arrive solely at nodes via independent, time-homogeneous Poisson processes. Calls finding the server busy enter a finite capacity queue which is depleted in a First-Come- First-Served (FCFS) manner. The server travels from his / her home base serving calls back-to-back, returning home only when he / she finds the system empty upon the completion of a service. The objective we consider is to minimize the average response time to an accepted call. The queueing system is analyzed via a busy period analysis, which uses a decoupling scheme to simplify the task of optimizing the home base location. Computational experience is discussed and a numerical example is presented. Generalizations of the model are also discussed.

Was investigated by labeling cells in vivo with [[sup14]C]-bicarbonate or [[sup14]C]-acetate. [[sup14]C]-bicarbonate was incorporated to the greatest extent into 16:0, 16:0 and 14:0 fatty acids, which are the predominant fatty acids of triacylglycerols. However, more than half of the [[sup14]C]-acetate was incorporated into longer and more desaturated fatty acids, which are constituents of membrane lipids. [[sup14]C]-acetate was incorporated most strongly into phosphatidylcholine, which rapidly lost during a 5-h chase period. The label associated with phosphatidyleth anolomine also decreased during the chase period, where as label in other membrane lipids and triacylglycerol increased. The dynamics of labeling, along with information regarding the acyl compositions of various lipids, suggested (that 1) the primary products of chloroplast fatty acids are formed by an elongation reaction that can utilize externally supplied acetate; 3) phosphatidylcholine is a site for desaturation of C[sub18] fatty acids; and 4) phosphatidylethamolamine may be a site for desaturation of C[sub20] fatty acids.

The instrument is based on a regeneratively mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser. Atomic potassium is seeded into an atmospheric, premixed CH4/air flame. A detection limit for atomic potassium of 1.1 x 1011 cm-3 is obtained for an integration time of 1 second without the need for calibration. We predict a detection limit for CH of 1.0 x 1013 cm -3 if simple modifications are made to the pump/probe instrument, including a reduction in laser spectral bandwidth by a factor of 50.The spatial resolution for our measurements is 0.137cm. We have also demonstrated the temporal resolution that the picosecond pump/probe instrument offers. Here, 50-Hz fluctuations were induced in an otherwise laminar flame, and the resulting fluctuations in the potassium concentration were resolved on power spectral density (psd) plots. A detection limit or 1.5 x 1011 cm-3 was obtained for the psd system. Weestimate that a corresponding detection limit or 1.5 x 1013 cm-3 for CH is possible. The temporal resolution of our system is presently limited to that of the borrowed detection electronics, and simple modifications will allow resolution beyond 1 MHz.

However, because the definition of ion collisionality v*i is reduced by a factor S-3/2, with S = 1 − (ρpid In E4/dr) (cEr/Bpvti), the values of both the poloidal mass flow and the bootstrap current at the banana-plateau transition are different from those of the conventional neoclassical theory. Here, ρpi is the ion poloidal gyroradius, E4 is the radial electric field, c is the speed of light, Bp is the poloidal magnetic strength, vti is the ion thermal speed, and r is the local radius. The implications for the experimental observations of poloidal rotation speeds in high mode (H mode) are discussed.

Such waves are observed to originate from the outer midplane edge of the plasma. It is shown that ion cyclotron harmonic waves can be destabilized by a low concentration of sub-Alfvénic deuterium or tritium beam ions, provided these ions have a narrow distribution of speeds parallel to the magnetic field. Such a distribution is likely to occur in the edge plasma, close to the point of beam injection. The predicted instability gives rise to wave emission at propagation angles lying almost perpendicular to the field. In contrast to the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability proposed as an excitation mechanism for fusion-product-driven ion cyclotron emission in the Joint European Torus (JET) [Phys. Plasmas 1, 1918 (1994)], the instability proposed here does not involve resonant fast Alfvén and ion Bernstein waves, and can be driven by sub-Alfvénic energetic ions. It is concluded that the observed emission from TFTR can be driven by beam ions.

The photon statistics are considered Poissonian and the momentum transfer between the electromagnetic field, and the ions are assumed discrete. In the present classical treatment, the photon-ion interaction is simulated, with an effective noise acting on the ions, which produces a stochastic transfer of momentum. The present results are closely related to the quantum treatment in the heavy particle limit as well as to those derived from previous semiclassical models.

Various interest groups and state governments that oppose congressionally mandated siting of centralized high-level radioactive waste (HLW) storage and disposal facilities are using this negative imagery to create a powerful, emotional obstacle to the siting process. From statistical analyses of images and location preferences, researchers have claimed that possible significant economic losses could potentially accompany the siting of HLW facilities. However, several paradoxes, or self-contradictory statements, apparently exist between the responses expressed in surveys and the actual economic and demographic behavior evidenced in the marketplace. Federal policymakers need to evaluate whether the request for a change in siting policy is based on subjective fear of a potential negative economic effect or on proven negative effects. Empirically observed behavior does not support predicted negative economic effects based on survey responses.

Speakers at a workshop sponsored by the Environmental and Public/Occupational Health Standard's Steering Group addressed both the state-of-the-art in risk assessment and areas of difficulty that require further research. The Steering Group concluded that within the limits of the available data, risk-assessment techniques are a useful tool in decision-making. In the past, many government agencies have not been effective either in listening to public concerns or in communicating technical or scientific information about risks. This has been true at all levels of government. Workshop speakers discussed some ways that government agencies can more effectively communicate with the public. The Steering Group concluded that major efforts must be made to ensure that two-way communication takes place. Thus the results of the workshop show that effective management of risk requires both a scientific assessment of risk and a responsive consideration of the public's perception of risk. Intensive efforts must be made to ensure that effective two-way communication takes place between members of the public and the appropriate government agencies.

Maria Goeppert Mayer and Dixy Lee Ray. Maria Groeppert was among the best students in the period of German science. The author got to know her when she returned to working in physics in Baltimore after her children started school. During the war years, she and her students helped to develop some of the theories that were eventually used in building the hydrogen bomb. Dixy Lee Ray was an outstanding marine biologist, a remarkable administrator as head of the Atomic Energy Commission, a successful politician as governor of Washington State, and author of the important books 'Trashing the Planet" and "Environmental Overkill."

Such discontinuities may be due to physical corners on the surfaces of contacting bodies, or may be introduced by a discretization process (e.g. finite elements). It is asserted that a strong analogy exists between this problem and the one describing inelastic evolution in the presence of a discontinuous yield surface. This analogy is exploited to produce an effective treatment of the frictionless corner problem, complete with an effective augmented Lagrangian implementation for accurate constraint enforcement.

Moench, a C4 crop] and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Stonewall, a C3 crop] plants were grown in ambient (c. 360 μl l-1) and twice-ambient (c. 720 μl l-1) CO2 levels in open-top chambers in soil without root constriction. Plant dry mass, energy content, composition and construction cost (i. e. amount of carbohydrate required to synthesize a unit plant dry mass) were assessed at the end of the growing season. Elevated CO2 (a) increased phytomass accumulation (kg per plant) in both species, (b) had little affect on energy concentration (MJ kg-1 plant) but caused large increases in the amount of plant energy per ground area (MJ m-2 ground), and (c) did not alter specific growth cost (kg carbohydrate kg-1 plant growth) but greatly increased growth cost per ground area (kg carbohydrate m-2 ground) because growth was enhanced. For soybean, twice-ambient CO2 resulted in a 50% increase in the amount of nitrogen and energy in grain (seed plus pod) per ground area. This response to elevated CO2 has important implications for agricultural productivity during the next century because the rate of human population growth is exceeding the rate of increase of land used for agriculture so that future food demands can only be met by greater production per ground area.

In contrast to patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), TTD patients do not have an increased frequency of skin cancers. TTD patients may be grouped into four categories: 1) those without photosensitivity and without a defect in excision repair of UV damage; 2) those without photosensitivity and with an excision-repair defect in the same gene as in XP-D (complementation group D); 3) those with photosensitivity and with the XP-D repair defect; 4) those with photosensitivity and with a repair defect distinct from that in XP-D. We present a brother and sister in the third category of TTD. Clinically, the patients have brittle hair, short stature, ichthyosis, photosensitivity, nail and dental dysplasias, cataracts, mental retardation, and pyramidal tract abnormalities. Diagnosis was made by hair mount, which shows the characteristic banding pattern with polarizing microscopy, and by hair amino acid analysis, which demonstrated decreased high-sulfur matrix proteins. Fibroblasts cultured from skin biopsies had a marked DNA excision repair defect similar to the repair defect seen in XP-D. We have documented a unique dysmyelinating disorder on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain that might explain their mental retardation, marked hyperactivity, and neurologic deficits. Following the discovery that the human excision repair cross complementing rodent ultraviolet group 2 (ERCC2) gene is able to correct the ultraviolet sensitivity of XP-D cell strains, the ERCC2 cDNA from previous TTD patients was sequenced and shows frameshifts, deletions and point mutations in the ERCC2 gene. Molecular analysis of our patients is in progress. Molecular analysis of the defects in ERCC2 in clinically distinct patitnes with XP, XP/ Cockayne's syndrome, and TTD may provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of these genetically related but clinically distinct disorders.

In polA mutants lacking the polymerase domain, such establishment was reduced at least 10-fold in frequency. Chromosomally facilitated establishment of pLS1-based plasmids carrying DNA homologous to the host chromosome was not so affected. However, both types of plasmid transfer gave mostly small colonies on initial selection, which was indicative of a defect in replication and filling of the plasmid pool. Once established, the pLSI-based plasmids replicated in polA mutants, but they showed segregational instability. This defect was not observed in strains with the wild-type enzyme or in an S. pneumoniae strain that encodes the polymerase and exonuclease domains of the enzyme on separate fragments. The role of DNA polymerase I in stably maintaining the plasmids depends on its polymerizing function in three separate steps of rolling-circle replication, as indicated by the accumulation of different replication intermediate forms in polA mutants. Furthermore, examination of the segregational stability of the pLSI replicon in an Escherichia coli mutant system indicated that both the polymerase and the 5′-to-3′ exonuclease activities of DNA polymerase I function in plasmid replication.

Sterols and phospholipids were compared to chlorophyll a (chl a) as predictors of biomass for stream periphyton and algae. Chlorophyll a, phospholipids, and sterolswere each highlycorrelated with ash-free dry mass (AFDM) (r[SUP2] > 0.98). Stream periphyton exposed naturally to high light (HL) and low light (LL) had chl a concentrations (μg chl a mg[SUP-1] AFDM) of 7.9 ± 0.7 and 12.4 ± 2.9, respectively, while the sterol concentrations of these HL and LL stream periphyton (1.6 ± 0.4) were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Periphyton exposed to an irradiance of 300 μmol photons · m[SUP-2] s[SUP-1] in the laboratory for 60 h had 5.6 ± 0.55 μg chl a mg[SUP-1] AFDM, but the same periphyton exposed to 2% incident light for the same amount of time had 11.0 ± 0.56 μg chl a mg[SUP-1] AFDM. Sterol concentrations in these periphyton communities remained unchanged (1.5 ± 0.3 μg &midot; mg[SUP-1] AFDM). Similar results (i.e. changes in chl a but stability of sterol concentrations in response to irradiance changes) were also found for Cladophora and Spirogyra in laboratory experiments. Sterols can be quantified rapidly from a few milligrams of algae and appear to be a useful predictor of eukaryole biomass, whereas cellular levels of chl a vary substantially with light conditions. Phospholipids (or phospholipid fatty acids) are considered to be a reliable measure of viable microbial biomass. Nevertheless, phospholipid content varied substantially and unpredictably among algae and periphyton under different light regimes. Irradiance also had a significant effect storage lipids: HL Cladophora and HL periphyton had 2 × and 5 × greater concentrations of triacylglycerols, respectively, compared to their LL forms. HL and LL algae also differed in the concentration of several major fatty acids. These light-induced changes in algal lipids and fatty acids have important implications for grazers.

Two soil moisture regimes were included within each chamber: a 'well-watered' treatment with plants watered daily and a 'drought' treatment in which plants were subjected to a series of drought cycles. Duration and depth of the drought cycles were determined by soil matric potential. Mean soil water potential at rewatering for the water-stressed seedlings under ambient CO2 for sugar maple, sweetgum and sycamore was -0.5, -0.7 and -1.8 MPa, respectively, compared with > -0.1 MPa for all well-watered plants. Elevated CO2 increased relative growth rate of well-watered sugar maple by 181%, resulting in a 4.3-fold increase in total plant dry weight after 81 d, compared with 1.4 and 1.6-fold increases for sweetgum and sycamore, respectively, after 69 d. Although elevated CO2 increased net CO2 assimilation rate of sugar maple by 115%, there was a 10-fold increase in leaf area which contributed to the growth response. Although drought did not eliminate a growth response of sugar maple to elevated CO2, it greatly reduced the elevated CO2-induced enhancement of relative growth rate. In contrast, relative growth rates of sweetgum and sycamore were not significantly increased by elevated CO2. Drought, under elevated CO2, reduced leaf area of all three species to a greater extent than it reduced net CO2 assimilation rate. The response ranged from no effect in sugar maple to a 40% reduction in sycamore, with swetgum exhibiting an intermediate response. Results indicate that drought may alter the growth response, gas exchange and water relations of tree species growing in an elevated CO2 atmosphere. Under high nutrient and water availability, sugar maple may benefit the most (of the three species studied) from a Co2-enriched atmosphere, but productivity gains will be limited if frequent drought is prevalent.

It is not known, however, whether this response is unique to foliage or whether woody-tissue respiration might be affected as well. This was examined for mid-canopy stem segments of white aok (Quercus alba L.) trees that had been grown in open-top field chambers and exposed to either embient or ambient + 300 μmol mol-1 CO2 over a 4-year period. Stem respiration measurements were made throughout 1992 by using an infrared gas analyzer and a specially designed in situ cuvette. Rates of woody-tissue respiration were similar between CO2 treatments prior to leaf initiation and after leaf senescence, but were several fold greater for saplings grown at elevated concentrations of CO2 during much of the growing season. These effects were most evident on 7 July when stem respiration rates for trees exposed to elevated CO2 concentrations were 7.25 compared to 3.44 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1 for ambient-grown saplings. While other explanations must be explored, greater rates of stem respiration for saplings grown at elevated CO2 concentrations were consistent with greater rates of stem growth and more stem-wood volume present at the time of measurement. When rates of stem growth were at their maximum (7 July to 3 August), growth respiration accounted for about 80 to 85% of the total respiratory costs of stems at both CO2 treatments, while 15 to 20% supported the costs of stem-wood maintenance. Integrating growth and maintenance respiration throughout the season, taking into account treatment differences in stem growth and volume, indicated that there were no significant effects of elevated CO2 concentration on either respiratory process. Quantitative estimates that could be used in modeling the costs of woody-tissue growth and maintenance respiration are provided.

Within 8h after transfer of mutant plants from growth at 23 to 13 °C, accumulation of the newly synthesized chloroplast-localized polypeptides stearoyl-ACP desaturase, glutamine synthetase and OEC 23 was severely impaired. By contrast, there was no apparent deleterious effect on the accumulation of two extrachloroplastic proteins examined: the elongation factor 1&alfpa;, and the phloem-specific, extra-chloroplastic isoform of glutamine synthetase. In one instance examined in detail, chilling did not decrease the accumulation of mRNA for stearoy1-ACP desaturase, indicating that the effect was post-transcriptional. Chloroplasts isolated from chilled wild-type and chs1 plants were equally able to process and protect from protease digestion in vitro synthesized pre-plastocyanin. The results suggest that the chs1 mutant may be defective in some aspect of chloroplast protein accumulation at low temperature.

Comparison of responses in P[SUBnh[SUB4]] to ambient solar-and lamp-enhanced UVBR spectra allowed calculation of an action spectrum for P[SUBnh[SUB4]] inhibition. The slope of the action spectrum for P[SUBnh[SUB4]] is half as steep as action spectra for UVBR inhibition of photosynthetic carbon uptake. Consequently, UVBR-induced photo inhibition of P[SUBnh[SUB4]] extends to greater depths than inhibition of carbon fixation due to the greater relative effect of longer UVBR wavelengths, Inhibition of P[SUBnh[SUB4]] was dependent upon UVBR dose when doses were weighted by the P[SUBnh[SUB4]] action spectrum. Dependence of UVBR inhibition of P[SUBnh[SUB4]] on dose rate was not apparent. We found that near-surface P[SUBnh[SUB4]] and P[SUBno[SUB3]] can be overestimated in excess of 50% when measured using standard incubation vessels made of UVBR-absorbing materials such as polycarbonate.

Consistent with the mechanism of light modulation proposed for this enzyme, which involves reductin of domain movement-restricting disulfide bonds, it is not reductively activated in Chondrus crispus extracts, and it is not light-activated in whole cells or dithiothreitol (DTT) activated in extracts of the North American species Graci-glucose-6-P dehydrogenase, two enzymes for which sequence information from these algae is not yet available are both activated in crude extracts by DTT treatment, but only fructosebisphosphatase is light-activated in intact Gracilaria.

Actions that are designed to protect humans may fail to protect nonhuman populations and ecosystems or may damage ecosystems. However, there is no common scale of health and ecological risk that would allow comparisons to be performed. This paper presents an approach to addressing this problem based on classifying all risks (i.e., health and ecological risks due contaminants and remediation) as insignificant (de minimis), highly significant (de manifestis), or intermediate. For health risks the classification is based on standard criteria. However, in the absence of national guidance concerning the acceptability of ecological risks, new ecological criteria are proposed based on an analysis of regulatory precedents. Matrices and flow charts are presented to guide the use of these risk categories in remedial decision making. The assessment of mercury contamination of the East Fork Poplar Creek is presented as an example of the implementation of the approach.

In the present work, asymptotic analyses are developed for nonsteady multiphase deflagration of porous energetic solids, such as degraded nitramine propellants, that experience significant gas flow in the solid preheat region and are characterized by the presence of exothermic reactions in a bubbling melt layer at their surfaces. Relative motion between the gas and condensed phases is taken into account in both regions, and the derived asymptotic model is analyzed to obtain an explicit solution for steady, planar deflagration and a dispersion relation describing its linear stability. The latter determines a pulsating neutral stability boundary in the nondimensional activation energy-disturbance wavenumber plane beyond which nonsteady. nonplanar solutions are anticipated. Focusing on the realistic limit of small ratios of gas-phase to condensed-phase density and thermal conductivity, it is shown that the effect of a nonzero porosity a, of the unburned solid material is generally destabilizing, by an.amount proportional to αs(l − αs)−1. relative to the nonporous case. This effect arises both from the lower combustion temperature of the porous energetic material and from the gas-phase diffusion of heat from the reaction zone towards the porous preheat region. These results therefore suggest that degraded propellants. which exhibit greater porosity than their undamaged counterparts, may be especially prone to nonsteady deflagration.

Yet, information about assigned values and preferences of members of the public, including economic measures of value, required by decision makers is often incomplete or unavailable. Existing sources of information about the public's values, for use in resource allocation decisions and damage assessment, include existing markets, public surveys, and public involvement. Each of these sources has serious limitations. Although markets are valuable sources of economic values for goods traded in those markets or for nonmarket goods whose use relies on consumption of goods traded in established markets, the values of some public goods are not available from market information. The benefits of some public goods are external to market transactions and financial accounts, though they often concern legally defined, but unprotectable rights.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1995/06// VL - 1 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 161 EP - 163 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13541013 AB - This article discusses the phenomenon of the high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) found in subtropical and tropical oceans, where solar radiation is perennially abundant, the concentrations of dissolved inorganic phosphate and fixed inorganic nitrogen are vanishingly low. The HNLC phenomenon, first noted by physical and chemical oceanographers is anomalous and its cause has puzzled oceanographers for decades. Two basis hypotheses have been advanced to account for HNLC conditions. The top down hypothesis proposes that the biomass of the phytoplankton is regulated by zooplankton grazing, such that the photoautotrophs never escape from the grazing pressure imposed by the herbivores to form blooms that would lead to nutrient depletion. The alternative hypothesis is the bottom up control, in which phytoplankton growth and/or biomass is limited by the availability of some resource, such as light, or an essential nutrient other than phosphate and fixed inorganic nitrogen. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the late John Martin suggested that soluble iron was limiting phytoplankton biomass in all three HNLC regions. The iron limitation hypothesis embodied the essence of bottom up control of phytoplankton biomass and was met with great deal of skepticism by biological oceanographers. In October 1993, an 8 by 8 kilometer patch of HNLC water west of the Galapagos Islands was enriched with a 0.5 m solution of Iron (II). The results of the experiment demonstrated conclusively that the quantum yield of photosynthesis was physiologically limited by iron. In May-June 1995 a second iron enrichment study was conducted. In the second experiment, the results were dramatic and unambiguous. A major phytoplankton bloom developed in the patch. This pair of iron enrichment studies have made historical precedents in the field of oceanography and helped solved the phenomenon.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1995/06// VL - 15 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 411 EP - 419 SN - 02724332 AB - As interest in quantitative analysis of joint uncertainty and interindividual variability (JUV) in risk grows, so does the need for related computational shortcuts. To quantify JUV in risk, Monte Carlo methods typically require nested sampling of JUV in distributed inputs, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Two approximation methods proposed here allow simpler and more rapid analysis. The first consists of new upper-bound JUV estimators that involve only uncertainty or variability, not both, and so never require nested sampling to calculate. The second is a discrete-probability-calculus procedure that uses only the mean and one upper-tail mean for each input in order to estimate mean and upper-bound risk, which procedure is simpler and more intuitive than similar ones in use. Application of these methods is illustrated in an assessment of cancer risk from residential exposures to chloroform in Kanawah Valley, West Virginia. Because each of the multiple exposure pathways considered in this assessment had separate modeled sources of uncertainty and variability, the assessment illustrates a realistic case where a standard Monte Carlo approach to JUV analysis requires nested sampling. In the illustration, the first proposed method quantified JUV in cancer risk much more efficiently than corresponding nested Monte Carlo calculations. The second proposed method also nearly duplicated JUV-related and other estimates of risk obtained using Monte Carlo methods. Both methods were thus found adequate to obtain basic risk estimates accounting for JUV in a realistically complex risk assessment. These methods make routine JUV analysis more convenient and practical.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 1995/08// VL - 1 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 243 EP - 274 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13541013 AB - Terrestrial higher plants exchange large amounts of CO2 with the atmosphere each year; c. 15% of the atmospheric pool of C is assimilated in terrestrial-plant photosynthesis each year, with an about equal amount returned to the atmosphere as CO2 in plant respiration and the decomposition of soil organic matter and plant litter. Any global change in plant C metabolism can potentially affect atmospheric CO2 content during the course of years to decades. In particular, plant responses to the presently increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration might influence the rate of atmospheric CO2 increase through various biotic feedbacks. Climatic changes caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration may modulate plant and ecosystem responses to CO2 concentration. Climatic changes and increases in pollution associated with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration may be as significant to plant and ecosystem C balance as CO2 concentration itself. Moreover, human activities such as deforestation and livestock grazing can have impacts on the C balance and structure of individual terrestrial ecosystems that far outweigh effects of increasing COT concentration and climatic change. In short-term experiments, which in this case means on the order of 10 years or less, elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration affects terrestrial higher plants in several ways. Elevated CO2 can stimulate photosynthesis, but plants may acclimate and (or) adapt lo a change in atmospheric CO2 concentration. Acclimation and adaptation of photosynthesis lo increasing CO2 concentration is unlikely to be complete, however. Plant water-use efficiency is positively related to CO2 concentration, implying the potential for more plant growth per unit of precipitation or soil moisture with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration. Plant respiration may be inhibited by elevated CO2 concentration, and although a naive C balance perspective would count this as a benefit to a plant, because respiration is essential for plant growth and health, an inhibition of respiration can be detrimental. The net effect on terrestrial plants of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration is generally an increase in growth and C accumulation in phytomass. Published estimations, and speculations about, the magnitude of global terrestrial-plant growth responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration range from negligible to fantastic. Well-reasoned analyses point to moderate global plant responses to CO2 concentration. Transfer of C from plants to soils is likely to increase with elevated CO2 concentrations because of greater plant growth, but quantitative effects of those increased inputs to soils on soil C pool sizes are unknown. Whether increases in leaf-level photosynthesis and short-term plant growth stimulations caused by elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration will have, by themselves, significant long-term (tens to hundreds of years) effects on ecosystem C storage and atmospheric CO2 concentration is a matter for speculation, not firm conclusion. Long-term field studies of plant responses to elevated atmospheric CO2 are needed. These will be expensive, difficult, and by definition, results will not be forthcoming for at least decades. Analyses of plants and ecosystems surrounding natural geological CO2 degassing vents may provide the best surrogates for long-term controlled experiments, and therefore the most relevant information pertaining to long-term terrestrial-plant responses to elevated CO2 concentration, but pollutants associated with the vents are a concern in some cases, and quantitative knowledge of the history of atmospheric CO2 concentrations near vents is limited. On the whole, terrestrial higher-plant responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration probably act as negative feedbacks on atmospheric CO2 concentration increases, but they cannot by themselves stop the fossil-fuel-oxidation-driven increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. And, in the very long-term, atmospheric CO2 concentration is controlled by atmosphere--ocean C equilibrium rather than by terrestrial plant and ecosystem responses to atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Here we use polyclonal antiserum raised against the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin to show that a similar response is observed in this species. Using our antibody, western blotting techniques, and standard colorimetric detection (4-chlorol-naphthol), we can detect at least a 25-50-fold increase in flovodoxin in iron-depleted compared to iron-replete cells. In iron-limited batch cultures of P. tricornutum, flavodoxin accumulation was inversely proportional to growth rate and was not detectable in cultures containing initially more than 750 nM of iron. We demonstrated that the occumulation of lovodoxin under iron stress is widespread among marine diatoms and that in may be possible to use the presence or absence of flovodoxin in natural marine diatom assemblages to detect iron limitation. However, our polyclonal antisera appears to be specific for diatoms and did not cross-react with Synechococcus sp., Micromonas pusilla (Butcher) Manton et Parke, Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher, Chlorella sp., Emiliania huxleii (Lohm.) Hay et Parke, or Isochrysis galbana Parke. A reverse bioassay experiment was conducted with natural phytoplankton assemblages containing mainly diatoms from Long Island Sound and in shelf waters near Cape Hatteras, two areas not suspected to be iron-limited. Although flavodoxin was not detected in situ in these areas, natural populations of diatoms driven into iron limitation expressed flovodoxin. Flovodoxin was detected in mats of the diatom Rhizosolenia castracanie Cleve collected from the Equatorial Pacific during a JGOFS cruise in 1992, consistent with the hypothesis that iron may be limiting in this high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll region.

T1 - Effects of free-air CO2 enrichment on the development of the photosynthetic apparatus in wheat, as indicated by changes in leaf proteins. JO - Plant, Cell & Environment JF - Plant, Cell & Environment Y1 - 1995/08// VL - 18 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 855 EP - 864 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01407791 AB - A spring wheat crop was grown at ambient and elevated (550 μmol mol-1) CO2 concentrations under free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) in the field. Four experimental blocks, each comprising 21-m-diameter FACE and control experimental areas, were used. CO2 elevation was maintained day and night from crop emergence to final grain harvest. This experiment provided a unique opportunity to examine the hypothesis that CO2 elevation in the field would lead to acclimatory changes within the photosynthetic apparatus under open field conditions and to assess whether acclimation was affected by crop developmental stage, leaf ontogeny and leaf age. Change in the photosynthetic apparatus was assessed by measuring changes in the composition of total leaf and thylakoid polypeptides separated by SDS-PAGE. For leaves at completion of emergence of the blade, growth at the elevated CO2 concentration had no apparent effect on the amount of any of the major proteins of the photosynthetic apparatus regardless of the leaf examined. Leaf 5 on the main stem was in full sunlight at emergence, but then became shaded progressively as 3-4 further leaves formed above with continued development of the crop. By 35 d following completion of blade emergence, leaf 5 was in shade. At this point, the chlorophyll a/b ratio had declined by 26% both in plants grown at the control CO2 concentration and in those grown at the elevated CO2 concentration, which is indicative of shade acclimation. The ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) content declined by 45% in the control leaves, but by 60% in the leaves grown at the elevated CO2 concentration. The light- harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCII) and the chlorophyll content showed no decrease and no difference between treatments, indicating that the decrease in Rubisco was not an effect of earlier senescence in the leaves at the elevated CO2 concentration. Following completion of the emergence of the flag-leaf blade, the elevated-CO2 treatment inhibited the further accumulation of Rubisco which was apparent in control leaves over the subsequent 14d. From this point onwards, the flag leaves from both treatments showed a loss of Rubisco, which was far more pronounced in the elevated-CO2 treatment, so that by 36 d the Rubisco content of these leaves was just 70% of that of the controls and by 52d it was only 20%. At 36d, there was no decline in chlorophyll, LHC!I or the chloroplast ATPase coupling factor (CFI) in the elevated CO2 concentration treatment relative to the control. By 52 d, all of these proteins showed a significant decline relative to the control. This indicates that the decreased concentration of Rubisco at this final stage probably reflected earlier senescence in the elevated-CO2 treatment, but that this was preceded by a CO2-concentration-dependent decline in Rubisco.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1995/09// VL - 131 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 91 EP - 97 SN - 0028646X AB - Forests have a prominent role in the global carbon cycle, but their response to a changing atmosphere cannot be measured directly. Experimental observations of small trees in CO2-enriched atmospheres must be interpreted carefully if they are to be relevant to the potential responses of forest trees. We grew white oak (Quercus alba L.) saplings for four complete growing seasons in open-top chambers with different partial pressures of atmospheric CO2. White oak saplings produced 58% more dry mass in 50 Pa CO2 and 135% more in 65 Pa, compared with plants in ambient (35 Pa) CO2. Although this result might suggest a substantial potential for increased carbon storage in forests, the large difference in growth rate could be attributed to a stimulation of growth very early in the experiment. There was not a sustained effect of CO2 on relative growth rate after the first year, and the increased absolute growth rate could persist only so lung as leaf area could increase, a condition that would not occur indefinitely in a forest. Nevertheless, annual stern wood production per unit area (growth efficiency) was 37% greater in elevated CO2. This increase in growth efficiency, a response that is consistent across diverse studies, implies a potential increase in carbon sequestration by forests, subject to critical assumptions about forest canopy development in a CO2-enriched atmosphere.

In that it uses separate equations for each of two pressure corrections, velocity components and transported scalars, PISO is known as a segregated solution procedure. Preconditioned, generalized conjugate gradient (GCG) methods in combination with schemes for vectorization and storage minimization are described in the paper for the purpose of solving both the symmetric and non-symmetric algebraic equation systems that result from the PISO algorithm. Of particular interest in the paper is a comparison of the present procedure with a procedure described by Chin et al. (1992) in which preconditioned conjugate gradient methods are used to solve the Jacobian matrix used in the Newton iteration of the fully coupled non-linear equations. The two methods are similar in that both techniques are based on a discretization using staggered control volumes with the power-law method for modelling advection-diffusion transport.

Using a root ingrowth bag technique the extent to which CO2 enrichment influenced the growth of L. perenne and T. repens roots under two contrasting nutrient regimes was examined. Root ingrowth bags were inserted for a fixed time into the soil in order to trap roots. It was also possible to follow the mortality of roots in bags inserted for different time intervals. Root ingrowth of both L. perenne and T. repens increased under elevated CO2 conditions. In L. perenne, root ingrowth decreased with increasing nutrient fertilizer level, but for T. repens the root ingrowth was not affected by the nutrient application rate. Besides biomass measurements, root length estimates were made for T. repens. These showed an increase under elevated CO2 concentrations. Root decomposition appeared to decrease under elevated CO2 concentrations. A possible explanation for this effect is the observed changes in tissue composition, such as the increase in the carbon:nitrogen ratio in roots of L. perenne at elevated CO2 concentrations.

We have modified a three-dimensional, prognostic, higher-order turbulence model for atmospheric circulation (HOTMAC) and a Monte Carlo dispersion and transport model (RAPTAD) to treat domains that include an urbanized area. We used the meteorological model to drive models which describe the photochemistry and air transport and dispersion. The photochemistry modeling is described in a separate paper. We tested the model against routine measurements and those of a major field program. During the field program, measurements included: (1) lidar measurements of aerosol transport and dispersion, (2) aircraft measurements of winds, turbulence, and chemical species aloft, (3) aircraft measurements of skin temperatures, and (4) Tethersonde measurements of winds and ozone. We modified the meteorological model to include provisions for time-varying synoptic-scale winds, adjustments for local wind effects, and detailed surface-coverage descriptions. We developed a new method to define mixing-layer heights based on model outputs. The meteorology and dispersion models were able to provide reasonable representations of the measurements and to define the sources of some of the major uncertainties in the model-measurement comparisons.

Measurements included O 3 , primary reactive organic gases (ROG), aldehydes, PAN, total reactive nitrogen (NO y ) and H 2 O 2 , with vertical profiles for primary ROG. Photochemical models using two different chemical representations and a range of assumptions about winds, vertical mixing and emissions were used to simulate the event. Results show that assumptions about vertical mixing can cause a variation in simulated surface concentrations of primary hydrocarbons of a factor of two or more. A tendency to underestimate isoprene was found in comparison with measured vertical profiles. The models tend to overestimate concentrations of HCHO, H202 and PAN in comparison with measurements. Peak O 3 and concurrent NO y from helicopter measurements was used as a basis for evaluating individual model scenarios. Scenarios were developed with different O3 NOx- ROG sensitivity, but only the NO x - sensitive scenarios are consistent with measured O 3 , NO y and isoprene.

Five‐year life‐cycle costs for the six field instruments including purchase, modification, and operational costs, were compared to the costs of using a stationary commercial analytical laboratory to obtain identical VOC data. The present‐value life‐cycle cost of a single soil or water VOC analysis was calculated for the six field alternatives and for the commercial laboratory at both a fixed annual sample analysis rate and at maximum capacity. The total cost of a single field analysis event was found to be approximately 18% of the total cost of sending that sample to a commercial laboratory. Cost differences between alternatives were correlated to variations in performance capabilities.

Small eukaryotic phytoplankton, like bacterioplankton, can be difficult to cultivate or identify routinely by morphological characteristics. We used bacteria-specific 16S rRNA primers to amplify genes from picoplankton samples collected on 0.2-μm filters by filtration from a depth of 10 m in the pelagic region over the continental shelf off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Nucleic acid sequencing and probe hybridization revealed that chromophyte plastid genes comprised 25% of the genes in a library of 170 clones. The plastid genes belonged to two groups within the Chromophyta: the Prymnesiophyceae and the Bacillariophyceae. Comparisons revealed substantial diversity among the bacillariophyte gene sequences, but the species from which the genes originated could not be identified because few sequences from cultured bacillariophytes are available. The prymnesiophyte genes could not be identified either, although they were most similar (similarity = 0.94) to plastid genes from the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi (Lohmann) Hay and Mohler strain PML92D. These results provide evidence of abundant chromophyte plastid 16S rRNA genes in the water over the continental shelf off Cape Hatteras. The results also suggest that plastid 16S rRNA genes may provide suitable genetic markers for studying phytoplankton biodiversity and biogeography.

Expression of the bacterial nptII gene in the diatoms was achieved using the putative promoter and terminator sequences from the acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene from the centric diatom Cyclotella cryptica T13L Reimann, Lewin, and Guillard. The vectors were introduced into C. cryptica and the pennate diatom Navicula saprophila NAVIC1 Lange-Bertalot and Bonik by microprojectile bombardment. Putative transformants were selected based on their ability to grow in the presence of the antibiotic G418, and production of the neomycin phosphotransferase protein by the transformed cells was confirmed by western blotting. The foreign DNA integrated into one or more random sites within the genome of the transformed algal cells, often in the form of tandem repeats. This is the first report of reproducible, stable genetic transformation of a chlorophyll c-containing alga.

The authors explain the basis of the method, namely stabilization via wisely chosen Inner steps (stages), justify it for linear problems, and spell out how simple it is to incorporate in any explicit code for parabolic problems. Finally, we demonstrate its performance on the (linear) heat equation as well as on the (non-linear) classical Stefan problem, by comparing it with standard implicit schemes (employing SOR or Newton iterations). The results show that super-time-stepping is more efficient than the implicit schemes in that it runs at least as fast, it is of comparable or better accuracy, and it is, of course, much easier to program (and to parallelize for distributed computing).

Crystallographic data show that Zn-endopeptidases are characterized by an active site with a Zn atom coordinated to two histidines and a glutamate-bound water molecule. The two histidines and the glutamate residues belong to the HEXXH motif which is characteristic of most Zn- endopeptidases. A fourth metal ligand is a glutamate in thermolysin-like proteinases, but it is an histidine in the astacin family of proteinases and in alkaline protease. Astacin and alkaline protease possess a tyrosine as fifth Zn ligand, whose position in the case of alkaline protease could not be determined by X-ray crystallography. Not much is known about the atom arrangement around the active site in tetanus neurotoxin. In this work X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to obtain information on the Zn coordination mode in tetanus neurotoxin. The near-edge and extended fine-structure absorption spectra of this toxin are compared with those of astacin, alkaline protease and thermolysin. The present data and sequence information suggest a new pattern of Zn coordination in tetanus neurotoxin with one water molecule and three aromatic residues as metal ligands. These residues are the two histidines of the characteristic motif and a tyrosine which is tentatively identified with Tyr242, on the basis of sequence comparison and mutagenesis experiments. The mean distances of the Zn from the nearest coordinated atoms is reported. Our results indicate that alkaline protease, like astacin, also possesses a tyrosine as a fifth ligand.

JO - ICES Journal of Marine Science / Journal du Conseil JF - ICES Journal of Marine Science / Journal du Conseil Y1 - 1996/02// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 37 SN - 10543139 AB - Twenty-day simulations of responses by a larval fish cohort were investigated with an individual-based model of predation by ctenophore, medusa, and planktivorous fish predators. Results indicate that the relationship between larval size and vulnerability to predation was generally dome-shaped for invertebrate predators and could be dome-shaped for fish predators if they foraged optimally by size, and depended upon attributes of both predators and larval fish prey. For the predators that did not forage optimally, cohort-specific mortality generally decreased as the mean length of larvae in a cohort increased, but bigger or faster-growing larvae within a cohort were not always most likely to survive. Until larvae grew through a “window” of vulnerability and reached a threshold length when susceptibility to the predators decreased more rapidly with larval length than encounter rate increased, mean length or growth rate of surviving larvae on each day was slightly lower, or not different from those that died in most of the simulations. After the threshold length was reached, predators began to catch smaller larvae, which resulted in larger survivors. The time necessary to grow through the window and reach the threshold length depended on growth rate of the larvae, size of the predators, and the variance structure of these parameters. These results indicate that size and growth rate of fish larvae are partially decoupled by the predation process and, ultimately, act differentially to determine cohort survival rate, although both may be most important after larvae have reached the threshold length. In these simulations, the threshold length was reached after a significant portion (56–99%) of total larval mortality had occurred; time to reach the threshold was generally shorter for the faster growing cohorts. Initially, both fast- and slow-growing individuals within a larval cohort differed little in size and, therefore, were nearly equally vulnerable to predation. However, reduced risk of predation occurred when all members of a cohort had reached the threshold length, which suggests that mean growth rate of individuals within a cohort, not their size, is probably the more important parameter affecting cumulative mortality, especially when the rate is high. We propose that characteristics of larval survivors may be more influenced by attributes of the predators to which they were exposed in early life, rather than by their initial status within a cohort with respect to length at hatching and potential growth rate.

The Monte Carlo procedure produces CCDF estimates similar to those obtained with importance sampling in several recent PAs for the WIPP. The advantages of the Monte Carlo procedure over importance sampling include increased resolution in the calculation of probabilities for complex scenarios involving drilling intrusions and better use of the necessarily limited number of mechanistic calculations that underlie CCDF construction.

Worldwide concern has arisen over the potentially catastrophic consequences of global climate and environmental change. As a result, sustainable development (i.e., the simultaneous protection of both the global environment and the global economy) is receiving considerable attention. Necessary for achieving sustainable development are sustainable societies, which are capable of designing, implementing, managing and evaluating long-term environmental programs. This article presents ten characteristics that describe sustainable societies and discusses how information technologies, from wireless personal digital assistants to intelligent agents to multi-media database systems, could support the evolution of sustainable societies. Topics for social science research related to designing and ameliorating the negative consequences of eight hypothetical computer-based systems are presented.

The technique of chromosome orientation fluorescence in situ hybridization (CO-FISH) was used to detect obligate chromosome inversions associated with isochromo-some formation in two human cell lines. Simultaneous hybridization of a strand-specific telomeric probe allowed us to deduce the absolute orientation of repetitive DNA sequences associated with the inverted region. These results show that, in principle, CO-FISH could be used to detect virtually any type of inversion, including those likely to escape detection by other methods. Prospective applications of the technique are discussed in relation to its principal limitation, the present availability of suitable single-stranded DNA probes.

It is a fault tolerant multicast group communication system. The Totem system, developed at the University of California, provides reliable, totally ordered multicasting of messages over local area networks (LANs) and exploits the hardware broadcasts of such networks to achieve high performance. The Totem single-ring protocol provides reliable totally ordered delivery of messages using a logical token-passing ring superimposed on a LAN, such as an Ethernet. A hierarchy of protocols delivers messages to processes within process groups over a single LAN or over multiple LANs interconnected by gateways. The message ordering strategy of Totem employs time stamps to define a consistent total order on messages systemwide and sequence numbers to ensure reliable delivery of messages. Hardware broadcasts, multiple rings, filtering of messages, and process group locality enable Totem to achieve high throughput and low predictable latency.

This acronym was chosen in analogy with FACE (Free Air CO2 Enrichment), a technique which produces elevated CO2 concentrations [CO2] in open field conditions. The FATI system simulates global warming in small ecosystems of limited height, using infrared heaters from which all radiation below 800 nm is removed by selective cut-off filters to avoid undesirable photoniorpho-genetic effects. An electronic control circuit tracks the ambient canopy temperature in an unheated reference plot with thermocouples, and modulates the radiant energy from the lamps to produce a 2.5°C increment in the canopy temperature of an associated heated plot (continuously day and night). This pre-set target differential is relatively constant over time due to the fast response of the lamps and the use of a proportional action controller (the standard deviation of this increment was <1°C in a 3 week field study with 1007 measurements). Furthermore, the increase in leaf temperature does not depend on the vertical position within the canopy or on the height of the stand. Possible applications and alternative designs are discussed.

Rigorous survey research has shown that the public holds intense, negative images of "nuclear" and "radioactive" technologies, activities, and facilities. Potential host states and opponents claim that these negative images, coupled with an amplification of negative risk events, will potentially stigmatize the area surrounding such facilities and result in significant economic losses. At issue is whether a supporting social amplification of risk model is applicable to communities hosting facilities that are part of the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Weapons Complex. An initial assessment of high-profile discrete and cumulative key negative risk events at such nuclear facilities does not validate that there has been stigmatization or substantial social and economic consequences in the host areas. Before any changes to major national policy are implemented, additional research is required to determine if the nearby public's "pragmatic logic," based on practical knowledge and experience, attenuates the link between public opinion and demographic and economic behaviors.

One technique used in ERAs involves estimating contaminant exposure to individual animals of selected species, which is then compared to a reference dose derived from the literature. Exposure estimates are conducted on those species which are representative of the different trophic levels found at the site. In many terrestrial systems, fossorial (burrowing) vertebrates are found in both lower and upper trophic levels. As part of the ERA conducted for Site 300, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's high-explosive test facility, contaminant exposures were estimated for fossorial and nonfossorial vertebrates spanning two trophic levels. The results of the evaluation revealed that a significant pathway by which fossorial vertebrates could be exposed to trichloroethylene in soil was through the inhalation of contaminated subsurface burrow air. This was the first time that the importance of this ecological exposure pathway has been recognized. The results of this analysis suggest that further research into the ecological significance of subsurface burrow air contaminated with volatile organic compounds is warranted.

T1 - An Evaluation of Three Representative Multimedia Models Used to Support Cleanup Decision-Making at Hazardous, Mixed, and Radioactive Waste Sites. JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 1996/04// VL - 16 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 287 SN - 02724332 AB - The decision process involved in cleaning sites contaminated with hazardous, mixed, and radioactive materials is supported often by results obtained from computer models. These results provide limits within which a decision-maker can judge the importance of individual transport and fate processes, and the likely outcome of alternative cleanup strategies. The transport of hazardous materials may occur predominately through one particular pathway but, more often, actual or potential transport must be evaluated across several pathways and media. Multimedia models are designed to simulate the transport of contaminants from a source to a receptor through more than one environmental pathway. Three such multimedia models are reviewed here: MEPAS, MMSOILS, and PRESTO-EPA-CPG. The reviews are based on documentation provided with the software, on published reviews, on personal interviews with the model developers, and on model summaries extracted from computer databases and expert systems. The three models are reviewed within the context of specific media components: air, surface water, ground water, and food chain. Additional sections evaluate the way that these three models calculate human exposure and dose and how they report uncertainty. Special emphasis is placed on how each model handles radionuclide transport within specific media. For the purpose of simulating the transport, fate and effects of radioactive contaminants through more than one pathway, both MEPAS and PRESTO-EPA-CPG are adequate for screening studies; MMSOILS only handles nonradioactive substances and must be modified before it can be used in these same applications. Of the three models, MEPAS is the most versatile, especially if the user needs to model the transport, fate, and effects of hazardous and radioactive contaminants.

A subset of the trees was remeasured during 1994. Diameter increments, stem temperatures and soil water were also monitored. Respiration rates in the spring and summer of 1993 tracked growth rate increments, except during a drought when growth dropped to zero and respiration increased to its highest rate. During the dormant season, rates of total stem respiration (Rt) tended to be greater in large trees with thick sapwood but no such trend was observed during the growing season. Before and after the growing season, respiration rates correlated well with stem temperatures. Estimated values of Q10 were 2.4 for the two oak species and 1.7 for red maple. The Q10 values were used along with baseline respiration measurements and stem temperatures to predict seasonal changes in maintenance respiration (Rm). In red maple, annual total Rm accounted for 56 and 60% of Rt in 1993 and 1994, respectively. In chestnut oak, Rm accounted for 65 and 58% of Rt in 1993 and 1994, respectively. In white oak, Rm accounted for 47 and 53% of Rt in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Extrapolating these data to the stand level showed that woody tissue respiration accounted for 149 and 204 g C m−2 soil surface year−1 in 1993 and 1994, respectively.

The chlorinated acetates, trichloroacetate (TCA) and dichloroacetate (DCA), are carcinogenic in rodents. Brominated analogs of TCA and DCA have received little study. TCA and DCA induce lipid peroxidation in the livers of rodents when administered acutely. Oxidative stress can also result in oxidative damage to DNA, most commonly measured as increases in 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) adducts. In this study, the ability of acute doses of TCA, DCA, dibromoacetate (DBA), bromodichloroacetate (BDCA), and bromochloroacetate (BCA) to induce lipid peroxidation and 8-OHdG formation was examined. Male B6C3F1 mice developed significant increases in 8-OHdG/dG ratios in nuclear DNA isolated from livers when treated with haloacetates. The extent of 8-OHdG formation appeared to be related to the ability to induce thiobarbi-turic acid-reactive substances (TBARS). The order of potency was DBA ≅ BCA > BDCA > DCA > TCA. The induction of 8-OHdG was found to be generally more sensitive to treatment with haloacetates than the TBARS response. Significantly elevated levels of 8-OHdG were observed at doses of DBA, BCA, and BDCA as low as 30 mg/kg. We suggest that formation of 8-OHdG by brominated haloacetates may contribute to their toxicological effects.

The desorption and breakdown of anode-surface contaminants in an ion diode complicates the generation of a pure, high-brightness ion beam. Beyond the accelerator, the gas in the reactor vessel must provide excellent charge neutralization and specified current neutralization to permit the beam transport and focusing to a <1 cm radius, spherical target. Two schemes, in which controlling gas breakdown is essential, are ``ballistic?? and ``self-pinched?? ion transport. Results are discussed from hybrid particle-fluid simulations of anode contaminant desorption and ion beam transport.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 1996/05// VL - 3 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2175 EP - 2182 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Magnetically insulated ion diodes are being developed to drive inertial confinement fusion. Ion beam microdivergence must be reduced to achieve the very high beam intensities required to achieve this goal. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 3094 (1991)] indicate that instability-induced fluctuations can produce significant ion divergence during acceleration. These simulations exhibit a fast growing mode early in time, which has been identified as the diocotron instability. The divergence generated by this mode is modest, due to the relatively high-frequency (>1 GHz). Later, a low-frequency low-phase-velocity instability develops with a frequency that is approximately the reciprocal of the ion transit time. This instability couples effectively to the ions, and can generate unacceptably large ion divergences (>30 mrad). Linear stability theory reveals that this mode has structure parallel to the applied magnetic field and is related to the modified two-stream instability. Measurements of ion density fluctuations and energy-momentum correlations have confirmed that instabilities develop in ion diodes and contribute to the ion divergence. In addition, spectroscopic measurements indicate that lithium ions have a significant transverse temperature very close to the emission surface. Passive thin-film lithium fluoride (LiF) anodes have larger transverse beam temperatures than laser-irradiated active sources. Calculations of the ion beam source divergence for the LiF film due to surface roughness and the possible loss of adhesion and fragmentation of this film are presented..

Experimental, theoretical and numerical simulation approaches are used for this purpose. An experiment consisting of a capillary sprayer combined with a quadrupole mass filter and a charge detector was installed at the Electrostatic Atomization Laboratory to study fundamental properties of the charged droplets such as the distribution of charges with respect to the droplet radius. In addition, a numerical simulation model is used to study interaction of beam electrons with atmospheric pressure water vapor, supporting an effort to develop an electrostatic water mist fire-fighting nozzle.

The relative growth rates (RGR) of leaves sampled from seedlings and trees were similar across treatments, as were specific leaf respiration rates (SRR). Growth coefficients estimated from the SRR versus RGR relationship averaged 25.3mol CO2 kg-1 leaf dry mass produced for seedlings and 21.5mol kg-1 for trees. Maintenance coefficients ranged from 0.89 to 1.07 mol CO2 kg-1 leaf dry mass d-1 for seedlings and from 0.64 to 0-84 mol kg-1 d-1 for trees. Neither coefficient was affected by ozone. Leaves sampled throughout the growing season also showed little response of respiration to ozone. This occurred despite a 30% reduction in net photosynthesis for trees grown at twice-ambient ozone. These results suggest that growth and maintenance respiration in young northern red oak leaves are not affected by ozone and that in older leaves injury can occur without a parallel increase in so-called 'maintenance' respiration.

Historical efforts to identify a general "law of mortality" from these patterns that applied across species ended in 1935 when it was declared that such a law did not exist. These early efforts were conducted using mortality curves based on all causes of death. The authors predict that if comparisons of mortality are based instead on "intrinsic" causes of death (i.e., deaths that reflect the basic biology of the organism), then age patterns of mortality consistent with the historical concept of a law might be revealed. Using data on laboratory animals and humans, they demonstrate that age patterns of intrinsic mortality overlap when graphed on a biologically comparable time scale. These results are consistent with the existence of a law of mortality following sexual maturity, as originally asserted by Benjamin Gompertz and Raymond Pearl. The societal, medical, and research implications of such a law are discussed.

Los esfuerzos históricos para identificar una "ley de mortalidad" general de estos patrones, aplicables a través de las especies, se acabaron en 1935 cuando se declaró que no existe tal ley. Estas tentativas iniciales se condujeron empleando curvas de mortalidad basadas en todas las causas de muertes. Los autores predicen que si en vez las comparaciones de mortalidad se basaran en causas intrínsicas de muerte (p.ej. muertes que reflejan la biología básica del organismo), entonces patrones de mortalidad por edad consecuentes con el concepto histórico de una ley podrían ser revelados. Usando datos de animales de laboratorio y de seres humanos, los autores demuestran que los patrones de mortalidad intrínsicos por edad se superponen cuando se delinean entemente sobre una escala de tiempo biológicamente comparable. Estos resultados son consecuentes con la existencia de una ley de mortalidad luego de la madurez sexual, como lo sostuvieron originalmente Benjamín Gompertz y Raymond Pearl. Las inferencias en cuanto a sociedad, las médicas y de investigación de tal ley son examinadas.

Les efforts du point de vue historique visant à définir une "loi sur la mortalité" à partir de ces scénarios et s'appliquant à plusieurs espèces se sont terminés en 1935 alors qu'on a déclaré qu'une telle loi n'existait pas. Ces premières tentatives utilisaient des courbes de mortalité en fonction de toutes les causes de décès. Dans le présent article, les auteurs prédisent que si les comparaisons de mortalité sont effectuées plutôt en fonction des causes "intrinsèques" de décès (c.-à-d. les décès qui reflètent la biologie fondamentale de l'organisme), des scénarios de mortalité par âge compatibles avec le concept historique d'une loi pourraient fort bien émerger. A l'aide de données sur des animaux de laboratoire et des humains, ils ont démontré que les scénarios de mortalité intrinsèque par âge se superposent lorsque l'on en trace le graphique sur une échelle chronologique comparable du point de vue biologique. Ces résultats sont compatibles avec l'existence d'une loi de la mortalité suivant la maturité sexuelle, comme l'avaient soutenu Benjamin Gompertz et Raymond Pearl à l'origine. Les implications sociétales, médicales et en matière de recherche d'une telle loi sont discutées.

In this paper, we examine the extent to which uncertainty about global climate change could impact the precision of predictions of secondary outcomes such as health impacts of pollution. Using a model that links global climate change with predictions of chemical exposure and human health risk in the Western region of the United States of America (U.S.), we define parameter variabilities and uncertainties and we characterize the resulting outcome variance. As a case study, we consider the public health consequences from releases of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), a ubiquitous multimedia pollutant. By constructing a matrix that links global environmental change both directly and indirectly to potential human-health effects attributable to HCB released into air, soil, and water, we define critical parameter variances in the health risk estimation process. We employ a combined uncertainty/sensitivity analysis to investigate how HCB releases are affected by increasing atmospheric temperature and the accompanying climate alterations that are anticipated. We examine how such uncertainty impacts both the expected magnitude and calculational precision of potential human exposures and health effects. This assessment reveals that uncertain temperature increases of up to 5°C have little impact on either the magnitude or precision of the public-health consequences estimated under existing climate variations for HCB released into air and water in the Western region of the U.S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Risk Analysis: An International Journal is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Commercial and free, public-domain implementations of MPI have been available since 1994, running on both tightly coupled, massively parallel processing (MPP) machines and on networks of workstations (NOWs). The MPI standard was developed over 12 month period in 1993-1994 of intensive meetings involving more than 80 people from approximately 40 organizations, mainly from the U.S. and Europe. This article has concentrated on issues of programming in MPI and programming with other message-passing interfaces. MPI does not claim to be the definitive answer to all message-passing needs. MPI interface provides a useful basis for developing software for message-passing environments. A message-passing standard gives vendors a clearly defined base set of routines they can implement efficiently. MPI is used to specify the communication among set of processes forming a concurrent program. INSETS: MPI Implementations;More MPI Assistance;Library Communicator and Caching.

JO - Mutagenesis JF - Mutagenesis Y1 - 1996/07// VL - 11 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 357 EP - 361 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 02678357 AB - The antineoplastic drug etoposide (ET) inhibits topoisomerase II (topo II) activity by forming a ternary complex (DNA–ET–topo II). This complex prevents the DNA-strandrejoining activity of topo II and may result in structural chromosome aberrations. Inhibition of topo II activity may also predispose cells to aneuploidy because this enzyme is needed for removing regions of DNA catenation prior to chromosome segregation. Our objectives were to study the dose response for ET-induced numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations in mouse one-cell zygotes, to compare these data with those obtained from a contemporary metaphase II (MII) oocyte study and to evaluate the sensitivity of dictyate oocytes to ET-induced aneuploidy. ICR female mice were superovulated and injected i.p. with either 6% dimethylsulphoxide (controls) or 20, 40 or 60 mg/kg ET 2 h after human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). ICR males were paired (1:1) with females immediately after treatment. After 17 h the males were removed, and after 24 h the females with a vaginal plug were given colchicine. One-cell zygotes were harvested for cytogenetic analysis 17 h after colchicine. The percentages of hyperploid zygotes were 1.1, 5.7, 13.8 and 20.7 and of zygotes with structural aberrations were 2.5, 16.3, 37.7 and 64.7, for control, 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg ET respectively. The differences between each succeeding dose for both structural and numerical aberrations were statistically significant (P < 0.01). When the ET dose response aneuploidy data from zygotes were compared with similar data from a contemporary study involving metaphase II oocytes, the frequencies of hyperploidy were greater in zygotes than in oocytes. We conclude that when ET is administered during the preovulatory phase of meiosis, it is both an aneugen and a clastogen in mouse one-cell zygotes.

We surveyed caseinolytic and leucine aminapeptidase (LAP) activities in log-phase cultures of the chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher, the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (Gru.) Fryxell et Husle, the chrysophyte Isochrysis galbana Parke, the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi (Lohm.) Hay et Mohler, and the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. (WH 5701). LAP activity was very low at pH <6 and peaked between pH 7.7 and 8.5 in all species, whereas caseinolytic activity in most species showed only minor peaks in the pH 4-5 range and broad maxima above pH 8. Thus, acidic vacuolar proteases apparently represented only a small faction of total protease activity. Attempts to classify proteases using selective inhibitors were inconclusive. Neither the serine/cysteine protease inhibitor leupeptin nor the aspartic protease inhibitor pepstatin A inhibited caseinolytic or LAP acitivty in any species. The metalloprotease inhibitor EDTA was only effective against LAP activity in some species, causing average decreases of 30-50%, whereas the cysteine/serine protease inhibitor phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride achieved at best a 30-60% decrease in caseinolytic activity. Caseinolytic activities were remarkably stable. At pH 7.5 and 25°C, extracts of d. tertiolecta, E. hyxleyi, and Synechococcus showed no changes in activity after 24 h, whereas activity declined by less than 50% in the other species. Incubation of cell extracts for 1 h at 25°C in pH 7.5 buffer did not alter patterns of cell proteins, suggesting that endogenous proteases did not effectively degrade endogenous proteins. Casein zymograms were used to identify >2000-and <20-kDa proteases in homogenates of log-phase T. weissflogii: only the smaller protease was found in d. tertiolecta. Antibodies to the ATPase subunit (C) of the conserved, chloroplastic Clp protease from Pisum cross-reacted with proteins in Synechrococcus, D. tertiolecta, and I. galbana, but no cross-reactions were found for any species with antibodies against the ClpP subunit from either E. coli or Nicotiana. Our results show that phytoplankton contain a diverse complement of proteases with novel characteristics.

This paper outlines energy efficiency improvements for buildings and the overall technical potential to reduce CO2 emissions by cutting growth in energy consumption in buildings. Three scenarios of future buildings CO2 emissions in 2020 were developed. Under the business as usual scenario, buildings emissions increase 90% over 1990 levels. A scenario that involves adopting more efficient energy using practices and technologies is estimated to produce CO2 emissions 50% above 1990 levels. A scenario with powerful incentives for energy efficiency could lead to CO2 emissions 28% above 1990 levels. Much of the CO2 growth is the result of population growth and growth in energy services, especially in developing countries. Policy instruments to reduce energy use and related CO2 emissions include real increases in energy prices, aggressive use of energy efficiency policies, major programs to transfer knowledge, technology, and tools for transforming markets to the developing world and continued efforts to pursue research and development in technologies and practices to increase energy efficiency in buildings.

The net phytoplankton had low C:N and high protein; carbohydrate ratios, indicating that their growth was nutrient-replete. Their photosynthetic responses were characterized by low specific absorption, low light-limited and light-saturated rates of photosynthesis, and high quantum yields, indicative of acclimation to low irradiance and internal self-shading. High fucoxanthin: Chl ratios also indicated low light acclimation, but high photoprotective xanthophylls: Chl ratios suggested a high capacity for photoprotective energy dissipation, Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) could be activated and deactivated in response to changes in irradiance and was fully activated at the surface of the water column and fully deactivated in aphotic deep water. Maximum Rubisco activity was correlated with Rubsico content and bulk protein content of the phytoplankton and with light-saturated rates of photosynthesis measured in short (<20-min) incubations. Long (60-min) incubations caused a decrease in the light saturated rate of photosynthesis, possibly because of feedback limitation. While feedback limitation is unlikely to occur in the water column, it should be considered when estimating productivity in well-mixed waters from fixed light-depth incubations.

JO - Molecular Microbiology JF - Molecular Microbiology Y1 - 1996/10// VL - 22 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 175 EP - 191 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0950382X AB - We have initiated a project to sequence the 3Mbp genome of the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus P2. Cosmids were selected from a provisional set of minimally overlapping clones, subcloned in pUC18, and sequenced using a hybrid (random plus directed) strategy to give two blocks of contiguous unique sequence, respectively, 100389 and 56105bp. These two contigs contain a total of 163 open reading frames (ORFs) in 26-29 putative operons; 56 ORFs could be identified with reasonable certainty. Clusters of ORFs potentially encode proteins of glycogen biosynthesis, oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, ATP-dependent transport across membranes, lsoprenoid biosynthesis, protein synthesis, and ribosomes. Putative promoters occur upstream of most ORFs. Thirty per cent of the predicted strong and medium-strength promoters can initiate transcription at the start codon or within 10 nucleotides upstream, indicating a process of initial mRNA-ribosome contact unlike that of most eubacterial genes. A novel termination motif is proposed to account for 15 additional terminations. The two contigs differ in densities of ORFs, insertion elements and repeated sequences; together they contain two copies of the previously reported insertion sequence ISC1217, five additional IS elements representing four novel types, four classes of long non-IS repeated sequences, and numerous short, perfect repeats.

Whether these same technologies can be used or adapted to estimate the water content of other porous media, such as the woody tissue of forest trees, has not been thoroughly addressed. Therefore, curves relating the apparent dielectric constant (Ka) to volumetric water content (g cm−3) were constructed for large-diameter stems of red maple (Acer rubrum L.), white oak (Quercus alba L.), chestnut oak (Q. prinus L.), and black gum (Nyssa sylvatica Marsh.). This information was combined with previously published data and a proposed “universal” calibration equation for wood was derived. Stainless-steel rods (15-cm wave guides) were inserted into 160 trees (30 to 49 per species) growing in an upland oak–hickory forest and stem water contents estimated monthly during 1994 and 1995 with a time-domain reflectometer (TDR). Volumetric water contents in April ranged from 0.28 g cm−3 for red maple to 0.43 g cm−3 for black gum, with no evidence that water content changed as a function of stem diameter. Stem water contents estimated during 1994 (a wet year) increased from May to July, reached a maximum in midsummer (0.41 to 0.50 g cm−3), and then decreased in November. During 1995 (a dry year), stem water contents for red maple and black gum (two diffuse-porous species) decreased from May to August, reached a minimum in September (0.29 to 0.37 g cm−3), slightly increased in October and November, and then decreased in December. A different trend was observed during 1995 for white oak and chestnut oak (two ring-porous species), with water contents remaining fairly stable from May to August, but decreasing abruptly in September and again in December. Stem water contents estimated with a TDR broadly agreed with gravimetric analyses of excised stem segments and increment cores, although there was evidence that overestimation of water content was possible with TDR as a result of wounding following wave guide installation. Nonetheless our results hold promise for the application of TDR to the study of stem water content and to the study of whole-plant water storage.

The key idea in relative debugging is that errors in a new version of a program can be located by automated, run-time comparison of the internal state of the new and reference versions. Relative debugging appears to be particularly useful in a scientific computing context, because of the complexity of scientific models and the frequent need to adapt existing models to incorporate new physics, algorithms, or computational techniques. Authors applied Guard to a large scientific code, the MM5 mesoscale atmospheric model, and obtained very satisfactory results and used to verify that two versions of the sequential MM5 were functionally equivalent, and to isolate discrepancies between sequential and parallel versions of MM5. One important direction that will significantly increase its utility is support for the debugging of parallel programs. INSETS: MM5.;MPMM..

Then, by combining this method with the reciprocity theorem, we calculate the radiation pasterns of antennas placed on top of 2D PBG materials. The results are in good agreement with recent theoretical and experimental results in similar systems. We also compare the present method of calculating the radiation patterns with a recently proposed method where the PBG crystal is replaced with an equivalent reflection plane. We show that the present method has several advantages: for example, it can be used even for cases where the driven frequency of the antenna is not inside the PBG.

To reduce defects, companies are aggressively implementing various quality methodologies, such as statistical quality control,1.2 Motorola's six sigma³ or Shingo's pokayoke.4.5 Although each quality methodology reduces defects, selection has been based on an intuitive sense without understanding their relative effectiveness in each application. A missing link in developing superior defect reduction strategies has been a lack of a general defect model that clarifies the unique focus of each method. Toward the goal of efficient defect reduction, we have developed an event tree which addresses a broad spectrum of quality factors and two defect sources, namely mistakes and variation. The quality control tree (QCT) predictions are more consistent with production experience than those obtained by the other methodologies considered independently. The QCT demonstrates that world-class defect rates cannot be achieved through focusing on a single defect source or quality control factor, a common weakness of many methodologies. We have shown that the most efficient defect reduction strategy depend on the relative strengths and weaknesses of each organization. The QCT can help each organization identify the most promising defect reduction opportunities for achieving its goals.

The example problem involves cyclic simple shearing of a hypoelastic material, wherein the increments of stretch and of rotation are of comparable magnitude. It is demonstrated that two kinematic algorithms that are in common use, and which are only weakly objective, give rise to an accumulative error in the normal stress components. The error is surprisingly large, even for very small strain increments. This behaviour arises due to a coupling between the stretch and rotation increments that is exhibited by weakly objective algorithms, and is perhaps especially serious in the context of models for jointed rock and other frictional materials, in which the shear response may depend strongly on the normal components of stress.

In the multiplicative approach, the rat model parameters are multiplied by the ratio of the mean values between humans and rats. Additive scaling of the distributions is defined by adding the difference between the average human value and the average rat value to each rat value. Finally, allometric scaling relies on established extrapolation relationships using power functions of body weight. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model was fitted independently to rat and human benzene disposition data. Human model parameters obtained by extrapolation and by fitting were used to predict the total bone marrow exposure to benzene and the quantity of metabolites produced in bone marrow. We found that extrapolations poorly predict the human data relative to the human model. In addition, the prediction performance depends largely on the quantity of interest. The extrapolated models underpredict bone marrow exposure to benzene relative to the human model. Yet, predictions of the quantity of metabolite produced in bone marrow are closer to the human model predictions. These results indicate that the multiplicative and allometric techniques were able to extrapolate the model parameter distributions, but also that rats do not provide a good kinetic model of benzene disposition in humans.

We have developed methodology for mathematically combining stochastic and subjective sources of data uncertainty, based on new "hybrid number" approaches. The methodology can be utilized in conjunction with various traditional techniques, such as PRA (probabilistic risk assessment) and risk analysis decision support. Hybrid numbers have been previously examined as a potential method to represent combinations of stochastic and subjective information, but mathematical processing has been impeded by the requirements inherent in the structure of the numbers, e.g., there was no known way to multiply hybrids. In this paper, we will demonstrate methods for calculating with hybrid numbers that avoid the difficulties. By formulating a hybrid number as a probability distribution that is only fuzzily known, or alternatively as a random distribution of fuzzy numbers, methods are demonstrated for the full suite of arithmetic operations, permitting complex mathematical calculations. It will be shown how information about relative subjectivity (the ratio of subjective to stochastic knowledge about a particular datum) can be incorporated. Techniques are also developed for conveying uncertainty information visually, so that the stochastic and subjective components of the uncertainty, as well as the ratio of knowledge about the two, are readily apparent. The techniques demonstrated have the capability to process uncertainty information for independent, uncorrelated data, and for some types of dependent and correlated data. Example applications are suggested, illustrative problems are shown, and graphical results are given.

Agility refers to the capability to very rapidly go from a set of unique customer requirements to a quality, finished product. An appreciation of the human factors inherent to agile product development is pivotal to the successful integration of agility-enabling technologies, as well as the coordination of personnel working within a concurrent engineering environment. This article briefly summarizes human factors contributions to: (1) development of agile business practices; (2) design of enabling technologies; and (3) management of the introduction and fielding of new technologies and business practices. More detailed discussion is offered for human factors related to the communications and information infrastructure essential to an organization making the transition from traditional to agile product development. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The (near) singularity of A may or may not affect the performance of GMRES, depending on the nature of the system and the initial approximate solution. For singular A, we give conditions under which the GMRES iterates converge safely to a least-squares solution or to the pseudoinverse solution. These results also apply to any residual minimizing Krylov subspace method that is mathematically equivalent to GMRES. A practical procedure is outlined for efficiently and reliably detecting singularity or ill conditioning when it becomes a threat to the performance of GMRES.

The conditioning of the coefficient matrices in these so-called augmented systems deteriorates on later iterations, as some of the diagonal elements grow without bound. Despite this apparent difficulty, the steps produced by standard factorization procedures are often accurate enough to allow the interior-point method to converge to high accuracy. When the underlying linear program is nondegenerate, we show that convergence to arbitrarily high accuracy occurs, at a rate that closely approximates the theory. We also explain and demonstrate what happens when the linear program is degenerate, where convergence to acceptable accuracy (but not arbitrarily high accuracy) is usually obtained.

The literature related to the Gompertz equation and his proposed law of mortality is extensive. Researchers focus on what they believe represents an important conceptual and methodological development that has occurred since Gompertz's initial observations over 170 years ago. In presenting the historical work researchers have attempted to retain as much of the original language as possible to preserve the intent of authors as well as to entertain readers. Although the language of Gompertz and his contemporaries is often cumbersome. It is important to recognize that the time frames Gompertz used for his calculations encompassed the majority of the observed range of survival for humans at that time because survival beyond age 60 or 70 was uncommon. After observing similar patterns of geometrical progression in other tables of mortality, Gompertz believed he had discovered a general law of mortality that linked arithmetic increases in age with geometric increases in death rates.

The estimated probabilities are rough bounds and do notentirely dismiss the possibility of a critical condition; however, they do point to the difficulty of creating conditions under which a critical mass could be assembled (i.e., corrosion of containers, separation of neutron absorbers from the fissile material and collapse or precipitation of the fissile material). In addition, should a criticality occur in or near a container, the bounding consequence calculations showed that fissions from one critical event are quite small (< ~1020 fissions, if similar to aqueous and metal accidents and experiments). Furthermore, a reasonable upper bound of total critical events of 1028 fissions corresponds to only 0.1% of the number of fissions represented by the spent nuclear fuel inventory in a repository containing 70,000 metric tons of heavy metal (MTHM) (the expected size for the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

The key step is the approximation, by a multivariable Taylor series expansion, of the influence of random variables on the objective function. Statistical averaging of this expansion leads to a description of the objective function in terms of the moments of the random variables. Knowledgeor estimation of these moments allows the operation to be carried out using standard calculus based techniques. An example is with three variations to illustrate the use of this technique for nonlinear setsof equations and objective functions. The method presented here is applicable to process models in manufacturing, systems analysis, and risk analysis.

IOQT can reduce the artifacts and image distortion due to a limited number of projections and limited range of viewing angles. Equivalently, by reducing the number of projections required for reconstruction, the use of IOQT can reduce the dose delivered to the specimen, simplify the complexity of an experimental setup, and consequently support the development of techniques to nondestructively image microstructures of materials. In this article, we will demonstrate the capability of IOQT to reconstruct an accurate 3D image of an object from a limited number of views, using a computer simulation and an actual 3D test pattern experiment with submicrometer features. In addition, we will introduce a promising application of IOQT to X-ray tomographic microscopy to study microbiological specimens by presenting the 3D reconstructions of the two different-conditioned human sperm cells from six projections. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Observations made during the diurnal cycle of both stands showed no apparent leaf water stress. In both stands, leaves had similar concentrations of major non-structural carbohydrates (starch and sucrose). Over two consecutive growing seasons (1991 and 1992), we consistently observed lower leaf Ca and Mg concentrations in the declining stand than in the healthy stand. Compared with the healthy stand, lower leaf chlorophyll concentrations and apparent leaf chlorosis were observed in the declining stand, and some trees had very low foliar Ca and Mg concentrations (0.31 ± 0.03% and 0.09 ± 0.01%, respectively). Trees in the declining stand had lower light-saturated net photosynthetic rates on a dry mass basis at both ambient CO2 (Pn,amb) and saturating CO2 (Pn,sat) than trees in the healthy stand. There were significant linear correlations between Pn,amb and leaf mass per unit area (LMA) and between Pn,sat per unit leaf area and LMA. There were also linear correlations between both Pn,amb and Pn,sat and leaf N when expressed on an area basis in both stands, indicating that variation in LMA may have been largely responsible for the observed photosynthesis–nitrogen relationship. The values of Pn,amb and Pn,sat were not significantly correlated with leaf N on a mass basis but were weakly correlated with leaf Ca and Mg on a mass basis. We conclude that low leaf Ca or Mg concentrations may limit leaf CO2 assimilation and tree carbohydrate status in the declining stand.

This paper presents an alternative spectrally accurate computational method of solving the nonlinear controlled Duffing oscillator. The method is based upon constructing the Mth-degree interpolation polynomials, using Chebyshev nodes, to approximate the state and the control vectors. The differential and integral expressions which arise from the system dynamics and the performance index are converted into an algebraic nonlinear programming problem. The results of computer-simulation studies compare favourably with optimal solutions obtained by closed-form analysis and/or by other numerical schemes.

It is generally assumed that DNA elongation is stopped by the insertion of AZT into the chain in place of thymidine thus preventing the phosphate hydroxyl linkages and therefore suppresses hemopoietic progenitor cell proliferation in an early stage of differentiation. CBA/Ca male mice started on AZT 0.75 mg/ml H2O at 84 days of age and kept on it for 687 days when dosage reduced to 0.5 mg/ml H2O for a group, another group removed from AZT to see recovery, and third group remained on 0.75 mg. At 687 days mice that had been on 0.75 mg had average platelet counts of 2.5 x 106. Histological examination on 9 of 10 mice with such thrombocytopenia showed changes compatible with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). A variety of histological patterns was observed. There were two cases of hypocellular myelodysplasia, two cases of hypersegmented myelodysplastic granulocytosis, two cases of hypercellular marrow with abnormal megakaryocytes with bizarre nuclei, one case of megakaryocytic myelosis associated with a hyperplastic marrow, dysmyelopoiesis and a hypocellular marrow and two cases of myelodysplasia with dyserythropoiesis, hemosiderosis and a hypocellular marrow. Above mentioned AZT incorporation may have induced an ineffective hemopoiesis in the primitive hemopoietic progenitor cells, which is known to be seen commonly in the myelodysplastic syndrome.

Seedlings of each species inoculated with basidiospores of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius(Pers.) Coker and Couch, a known my-cobiont of both loblolly pine and white oak, and uninoculated control seedlings received two simulated rains per week of either pH 3.6, 4.2, or 4.8 for 26 weeks. Higher acidity rainfall reduced the growth but increased mycorrhizal colonization of loblolly pine, while both loblolly pine and white oak exposed to these rains exhibited greater foliar injury. Inoculation with P. tinctoriusincreased growth and reduced foliar injury of both species. Foliar concentrations of P, S, and Cu in loblolly pine and white oak, Ca in loblolly pine, and Fe and Zn in white oak decreased with increasing rain acidity while the Al concentration of both species increased. Higher rainfall acidity also reduced soil pH and Ca and Mg concentrations while increasing soil AI. Foliage of inoculated seedlings of both species had higher N and P concentrations and lower Al concentrations than control seedlings. Following the final rain applications, a drought cycle was simulated by withholding irrigation for two weeks during which seedling xylem pressure potential and soil water potential were measured. One day after cessation of irrigation, xylem pressure potential of loblolly pine that had received pH 3.6 rains was lower than that of other treatments. Thereafter, xylem pressure potential and soil water potential of the inoculated treatment decreased below those of the control treatment in both species. These results suggest that acid deposition is detrimental to juvenile loblolly pine and white oak, but the magnitude of this effect is less than the positive response to ectomycorrhizal inoculation.

The study is to determine the mercury levels with the use of the hair in muskrats and mink inhabiting contaminated sites on the ORR and to compare these levels to those found in animals from surrounding areas. The hair was chosen to monitor mercury levels for it is easily collected from live animals and its mercury levels have been correlated to the more biologically important kidney and liver mercury levels in several species. The study reveals the muskrats are tolerant of mercury contamination that would provide potential use of muskrats and indicators of environmental contamination.

Three circularly permuted variants of SOD were made by joining the native amino- and carboxy-termini, and introducing new termini at sites originally within connections between β-strands. The locations of the new termini were chosen to interrupt β-turns between the two N-terminal β-hairpins and the short cross-barrel Greek key connection. Expression levels in the Escherichia coli periplasm were indistinguishable from that of native SOD. Reaction rates for the purified proteins were similar to those of the native enzyme, indicating that the permutants are correctly folded. Interrupting the covalent cross-bracing provided by the Greek key connection reduced the stability of the protein by ∼1.0 kcal/mol, indicating only a slight contribution to conformational stability. The experiments test and eliminate two hypotheses for folding pathways for Greek key β-barrels that require N-terminal β-hairpins or covalent attachment across the short Greek key connection.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 1997/05//5/1/97 VL - 245 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 730 EP - 737 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00142956 AB - p21waf1/cip1 gene expression is induced by DNA damage in cells with wild-type p53 and contributes to the arrest of cell growth. It was demonstrated that under many experimental conditions, including oxidative stress, p21waf1/cip1 expression can be induced through p53-independent pathways. Since most of these experimental conditions induce the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and thus its activation, we evaluated p21waf1/cip1 mRNA levels in cells exposed to an oxidative stress, induced by diethylmaleate (Et2Mal), and in which the MAPK pathway was blocked. The expression of a dominant-negative mutant of MEK, the MAPK kinase that phosphorylates and activates MAPK, and of a dominant-negative [Asn17]Ras mutant prevented the Et2Mal-induced accumulation of p21waf1/cip1 mRNA. Similarly, the expression of MEK and of [Asn17]Ras mutants decreased the 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-mediated p21waf1/cip1 induction. Furthermore, TPA-induced and serum-induced p21waf1/cip1 mRNA accumulation was blocked by pretreating the cells with the antioxidant compound N-acetyleysteine, suggesting that oxidative stress is involved in these responses. p21waf1/cip1 mRNA levels reached a maximum within 2 h of adding Et2Mal or TPA; however, the rate of trascription from a p21waf1/cip1-promoter construct did not increase during this period. In contrast, cells treated with actomycin D show an increase of p21waf1/cip1 mRNA stability after Et2Mal treatment. This result suggests that the increase in p21waf1/cip1 mRNA at early times results from post-transcriptional regulatory events. Longer exposure to TPA may activate p21waf1/cip1 gene transcription through an Sp1-dependent mechanism, while Et2Mal treatment gradually inhibits p21waf1/cip gene transcription through oxidative changes that affect Sp1 binding to DNA.

These archives now serve over 35,000 users worldwide from over 70 countries, and process more than 70,000 electronic transactions per day. In some fields of physics, they have already supplanted traditional research journals as conveyers of both topical and archival research information. Many of the lessons learned from these systems should carry over to other fields of scholarly publication, i.e., those wherein authors are writing not for direct financial remuneration in the form of royalties, but rather primarily to communicate information (for the advancement of knowledge, with attendant benefits to their careers and professional reputations). These archives have in addition proven equally indispensable to researchers in less-developed countries.

The effectiveness of specific U.S. Coast Guard vessel inspection activities was evaluated using risk-based metrics that linked categories of root causes of accidents to the particular inspection activities designed to reduce the risk of each root cause category. The results demonstrate a risk based ranking of USCG inspection activities. These metrics, describes as measures of effectiveness (MOEs), yield insights regarding the most beneficial areas in which to concentrate inspection resources. Insights regarding quality of vessel casualty investigation data and database design as related to risk-based importance analysis are also discussed. The MOEs constructed in this study are specific to the USCG's Marine Inspection and Boarding Program, butthe methodology of the study is based on sound theoretical principles that are probably applicable to a range of maritime safety activities. Hence the methodology applies equally to other important governmental regulatory programs and can be similarly used to measure their effectiveness and as an aid to decision-making.

Irrigation treatments were imposed after seedling establishment (i.e., 19 weeks after planting). Seedlings were harvested at 4, 8, 12, and 20 months. Elevated CO2 increased biomass production only in the high-N treatment, and the relative growth enhancement was greater for the root system than for the shoot system. In water-stressed trees, elevated CO2 increased root biomass only at the final harvest. Root:shoot ratios were usually increased by both the elevated CO2 and low-N treatments. In the elevated CO2 treatment, water-stressed trees had a higher root:shoot ratio than well-watered trees as a result of a drought-induced increase in the proportion of plant biomass in roots. Well-watered seedlings consistently grew larger than water-stressed seedlings only in the high-N treatment. We conclude that available soil N was the controlling resource for the growth response to elevated CO2 in this study. Although some growth enhancement was observed in water-stressed trees in the elevated CO2 treatment, this response was contingent on available soil N.

The second phase would increase pinning strength by either reducing the grain size or by the second phase pinning the flux itself. The following criteria for elements to be candidates for the APC approach are: (1) they must form intermetallic compounds with Cu or Sn and (2) they must have negligible solubility in Cu and Nb or they must be strong oxide formers. Many of the rare earth elements satisfy these criteria. To circumvent the large strains required to produce wires with a fine distribution of the second phase, film deposition techniques have been used. Critical current densities for Nb films doped with Ti and Y are about 4000 A/mm/sup 2/ at 6T and 4.2K.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 1997/07//7/1/97 VL - 16 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 3924 EP - 3934 SN - 02614189 AB - The Zfh family of zinc finger/homeodomain proteins was first identified in Drosophila where it is required for differentiation of tissues such as the central nervous system and muscle. ZEB, a vertebrate homolog of Zfh-1, binds a subset of E boxes and blocks myogenesis through transcriptional repression of muscle genes. We present evidence here that ZEB also has an important role in controlling hematopoietic gene transcription. Two families of transcription factors that are required for normal hematopoiesis are c-Myb and Ets. These factors act synergistically to activate transcription, and this synergy is required for transcription of at least several important hematopoietic genes. ZEB blocks the activity of c-Myb and Ets individually, but together the factors synergize to resist this repression. Such repression imposes a requirement for both c-Myb and Ets for transcriptional activity, providing one explanation for why synergy between these factors is important. The balance between repression by ZEB and transcriptional activation by c-Myb/Ets provides a flexible regulatory mechanism for controlling gene expression in hematopoietic cells. We demonstrate that one target of this positive/negative regulation in vivo is the α4 integrin, which play a key role in normal hematopoiesis and function of mature leukocytes.

Here, we provide evidence that UvsW functions as a helicase. First, expression of UvsW allows growth of an (otherwise inviable) Escherichia coli recG rnhA double mutant, consistent with UvsW being a functional analog of the RecG helicase. Second, UvsW contains helicase sequence motifs, and a substitution (K141R) in the Walker ‘A’ motif prevents growth of the E.coli recG rnhA double mutant. Third, UvsW, but not UvsW K141R, inhibits replication from a T4 origin at which persistent RNA-DNA hybrids form and presumably trigger replication initiation. Fourth, mutations that inactivate UvsW and endonuclease VII (which cleaves DNA branches) synergistically block repair of double strand breaks. These in vivo results are consistent with a model in which UvsW is a DNA helicase that catalyzes branch migration and dissociation of RNA-DNA hybrids. In support of this model, a partially purified GST/UvsW fusion protein, but not a GST/UvsW K141R fusion, displays ssDNA-dependent ATPase activity and is able to unwind a branched DNA substrate.

One either accepts this loss and takes more steps or re-biorthogonalizes the Lanczos vectors at each step. For the symmetric case, there is a compromise approach. This compromise, known as maintaining semiorthogonality, minimizes the cost of reorthogonalization. This paper extends the compromise to the two-sided Lanczos algorithm and justifies the new algorithm. The compromise is called maintaining semiduality. An advantage of maintaining semiduality is that the computed tridiagonal is a perturbation of a matrix that is exactly similar to the appropriate projection of the given matrix onto the computed subspaces. Another benefit is that the simple two-sided Gram­Schmidt procedure is a viable way to correct for loss of duality. A numerical experiment is included in which our Lanczos code is significantly more efficient than Arnoldi's method.

Efficient solution of such problems requires an adaptive mesh refinement capability to concentrate computational effort where it is most needed. We present in this paper a fractional step version of Chorin's projection method for incompressible flow, with adaptive mesh refinement, which is second-order accurate in both space and time. Convection terms are handled by a high-resolution upwind method which provides excellent resolution of smallscale features of the flow, while a multilevel iterative scheme efficiently solves the parabolic and elliptic equations associated with viscosity and the projection. Numerical examples demonstrate the performance of the method on two-dimensional problems involving vortex spindown with viscosity and inviscid vortex merger.

JO - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing JF - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing Y1 - 1997/07// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1056 EP - 1066 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 10648275 AB - Developing code for computing the first- and higher-order derivatives of a function by hand can be very time consuming and is prone to errors. Automatic differentiation has proven capable of producing derivative codes with very little effort on the part of the user. Automatic differentiation avoids the truncation errors characteristic of divided difference approximations. However, the derivative code produced by automatic differentiation can be significantly less efficient than one produced by hand. This shortcoming may be overcome by utilizing insight into the high-level structure of a computation. This paper focuses on how to take advantage of the fact that the number of variables passed between subroutines frequently is small compared with the number of variables with respect to which one wishes to differentiate. Such an "interface contraction," coupled with the associativity of the chain rule for differentiation, allows one to apply automatic differentiation in a more judicious fashion, resulting in much more efficient code for the computation of derivatives. A case study involving the ADIFOR (Automatic Differentiation of Fortran) tool and a program for maximizing a logistic-normal likelihood function developed from a problem in nutritional epidemiology is examined, and performance figures are presented.

At the same time that political and sociological conditions are causing a revolution in health care, advanced technologies promise to introduce changes even more radical. Health care has long lagged far behind other industries in adopting information technologies. More recently, pressures to better manage rising costs have generated an intense interest in how the latest computing technologies can help. Virtual patient records are virtual in the sense they provide a view of data possibly configured differently at different locations, but united together into a common format for viewing at the required time. Virtual patient records provide a user with virtual access to data possibly scattered around the world. This principle of accessing information on demand from a distributed pool of resources is analogous to the way virtual memory creates larger memory spaces by accessing supplemental storage only when required.

Compared to growth at ambient temperature, whole-season temperature increase reduced leaf stomatal conductance, but only at the top of the canopy (-14.6 and -8.8% at ambient and elevated CO2, respectively). However, because higher canopy temperature raised the leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference, leaf transpiration rate increased (+28% at ambient and +48% atelevated CO2) and instantaneous leaf water use efficiency, derived from short-term measurements of assimilation and transpiration rate, declined (-11% at ambient and - 13% at elevated CO2). Nevertheless, at the stand level, growth at +2.5°C reduced transpiration due to fewer tillers per plant and a smaller leaf area per tiller. This sparser vegetation was also more closely coupled to the atmosphere and maintained a drier internal microclimate. To assess whether the stomatal behaviour observed in this experiment could be explained by prevailing concepts of stomatal functioning, three models were applied (Cowan 1977; Ball, Woodrow & Berry 1987; Leuning 1995). The latter model accounted for the highest proportion of variability in the data (58%) and was insensitive to CO2 and temperature regime, which suggests that the principles of stomatal regulation are not affected by changes in CO2 or climate.

The data cover the entire resonant regions of the Q- and B-bands. They were analyzed by use of a theory which describes intra- and intermolecular coupling in terms of a time-independent nonadiabatic perturbation theory [E. Unger, U. Bobinger, W. Dreybrodt, and R. Schweitzer-Stenner, J. Phys. Chem. 97, 9956 (1993)]. This approach explicitly accounts in a self-consistent way for multimode mixing with all Raman modes investigated. The vibronic coupling parameters obtained from this procedure were then used to successfully fit the vibronic side bands of the absorption spectrum and to calculate the resonance excitation profiles in absolute units. Our results show that the porphyrin macrocycle is subject to B2u-(saddling) and B1u-(ruffling) distortions which lower its symmetry to S4. Thus, evidence is provided that the porphyrin molecule maintains the nonplanar structure of its crystal phase in an organic solvent. The vibronic coupling parameters indicate a breakdown of the four-orbital model. This notion is corroborated by (ZINDO/S) calculations which reveal that significant configurational interaction occurs between the electronic transitions into |Q>- and |1B>-states and various porphyrin→porphyrin, metal→porphyrin, and porphyrin→metal transitions. The intrastate coupling parameters are used to estimate the excited electronic states’ displacements along the normal coordinates with respect to the ground state and their contributions to the reorganization energy. It turns out that the |B>-state is predominantly affected by symmetric A1g-displacements, whereas the |Q>-state is subject to A2g, B1g, and B2g displacements of its equilibrium configuration. While the former is induced by the combined effect of ruffling and saddling, the latter arises from Jahn–Teller coupling within the degenerate states. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

Saturation coverage of the cluster is found at Ni38(N2)24, Ni38H36, and Ni38(CO)36. These saturation levels are consistent with the metal core of the ligated cluster having the structure of a truncated octahedron in each case. An alternate fcc structure derived from a 40-atom truncated tetrahedron is consistent with the nitrogen data, but not with the hydrogen or carbon monoxide results. In addition, the nitrogen uptake data indicate that the bare Ni38 cluster also has the structure of a truncated octahedron or possibly a deformed truncated octahedron. There is no indication that Ni38 has an icosahedral or polyicosahedral structure. The nature of the binding of the three reagents to the cluster is discussed. Evidence is presented that CO initially binds to atop sites, but following saturation of these sites a local rearrangement to bridge sites occurs that allows an increase in coverage to the observed saturation at Ni38(CO)36. At high reagent pressures all three reagents cause adsorbate-induced structural changes to isomers that bind more ligands and whose structures have yet to be determined. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

To test this approach we contrast the EFG predicted by such point-ion models for long-range ordered GaInP2 alloys with the results obtained from self-consistent all-electron calculations in the local density approximation (LDA). We first tested our LDA approach for ZnAl2O4, for which experimental data exist, finding the quadrupole coupling constant Qcc(27Al)=3.94 MHz, compared with the measured value of |Q|=3.68 MHz. Applying next the LDA approach to perfectly ordered GaInP2 (for which experimental data do not exist), we find the LDA quadrupole coupling constant Qcc=-4.83, -2.84, and 13.08 MHz for 69Ga, 71Ga, and 115In, respectively. We further find that more than 95% of these EFGs originate from the anisotropic electron charge distribution within a small sphere of radius ∼0.2 Å about the respective atomic site. Hence, the point-ion model significantly underestimates the magnitude of the EFG (and in some cases also gives an incorrect sign). The point-ion model also fails in reproducing the relative trends in the EFG as the crystal structure changes. We conclude that the point-ion model is not a viable alternative to calculate EFG in periodic covalent solids. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

Sample combustion in a bomb calorimeter combined with measurements of ash and nitrogen content provided the primary method of estimating tissue construction costs (WG; g glucose g−1dry mass). These values were compared with a second, simpler method in which cost estimates were derived from tissue ash, carbon and nitrogen content (VG). Estimates of WGwere lower for leaves, branches and roots of yellow-poplar and for leaves of white oak grown at elevated compared with ambient CO2partial pressures. These CO2-induced differences in WGranged from 3.7% in yellow-poplar roots to 2.1% in white oak leaves. Only in the case of yellow-poplar leaves, however, were differences in VGobserved between CO2treatments. Leaf VGwas 1.46 g glucose g−1dry mass in ambient-grown trees compared with 1.41 g glucose g−1dry mass for CO2-enriched trees. Although paired-estimates of WGand VGclustered about a 1:1 line for leaves and branches, estimates of VGwere consistently lower than WGfor stems and roots. Construction costs per unit leaf area were 95 g glucose m−2for yellow-poplar trees grown at ambient CO2and 106 g glucose m−2for trees grown at elevated CO2partial pressures. No differences in area-based construction costs were observed for white oak. Whole-plant energy content was 1220 g glucose per tree in ambient-grown white oak compared with 2840 g glucose per tree for those grown at elevated CO2partial pressures. These differences were driven largely by CO2-induced changes in total biomass. We conclude that while construction costs were lower at elevated CO2partial pressures, the magnitude of this response argues against an increased efficiency of carbon use in the growth processes of trees exposed to CO2enrichment.

Here we present a method for calculating time-dependent incompressible inviscid flow which combines a projection method with a \Cartesian grid" approach for representing geometry. In this approach, the body is represented as an interface embedded in a regular Cartesian mesh. The advection step is based on a Cartesian grid algorithm for compressible flow, in which the discretization of the body near the flow uses a volume-of-fluid representation. A redistribution procedure is used to eliminate time-step restrictions due to small cells where the boundary intersects the mesh. The projection step uses an approximate projection based on a Cartesian grid method for potential flow. The method incorporates knowledge of the body through volume and area fractions along with certain other integrals over the mixed cells. Convergence results are given for the projection itself and for the time-dependent algorithm in two dimensions. The method is also demonstrated on flow past a half-cylinder with vortex shedding.

It first divides a graph or a mesh into two equal-sized pieces, by a "good" bisection algorithm, and then recursively divides the two pieces. Ideally, we would like to use an optimal bisection algorithm. Because the optimal bisection problem that partitions a graph into two equal-sized subgraphs to minimize the number of edges cut is NP-complete, practical RB algorithms use more efficient heuristics in place of an optimal bisection algorithm. Most such heuristics are designed to find the best possible bisection within allowed time. We show that the RB method, even when an optimal bisection algorithm is assumed, may produce a p-way partition that is very far way from the optimal one. Our negative result is complemented by two positive ones: first we show that for some important classes of graphs that occur in practical applications, such as well-shaped finite-element and finite-difference meshes, RB is within a constant factor of the optimal one \almost always." Second, we show that if the balance condition is relaxed so that each block in the p-way partition is bounded by 2n/p, where n is the number of vertices of the graph, then a modified RB finds an approximately balanced p-way partition whose cost is within an O(log p) factor of the cost of the optimal p-way partition.

After presenting a general framework, we focus on a spectral divide-and-conquer (SDC) algorithm with Newton iteration. Although the algorithm requires several times as many floating point operations as the best serial QR algorithm, it can be simply constructed from a small set of highly parallelizable matrix building blocks within Level 3 basic linear algebra subroutines (BLAS). Efficient implementations of these building blocks are available on a wide range of machines. In some ill-conditioned cases, the algorithm may lose numerical stability, but this can easily be detected and compensated for. The algorithm reached 31% efficiency with respect to the underlying PUMMA matrix multiplication and 82% efficiency with respect to the underlying ScaLAPACK matrix inversion on a 256 processor Intel Touchstone Delta system, and 41% efficiency with respect to the matrix multiplication in CMSSL on a 32 node Thinking Machines CM-5 with vector units. Our performance model predicts the performance reasonably accurately. To take advantage of the geometric nature of SDC algorithms, we have designed a graphical user interface to let the user choose the spectral decomposition according to specified regions in the complex plane.

In light of these perceptions, the debate over where to temporarily store or permanently dispose of spent nuclear fuel (atthe reactor site, an interim storage facility, or a permanent repository) provokes immense concern among possible host jurisdictions. To address these concerns, one needs to know if people's subjective opinions conform with the choices they make and are therefore reflected in their economic behavior. Argonne National Laboratory researchers used a hedonic model to complete a study of residential property value dynamics over a 5-year period within a 15-mile radius of two California nuclear power plants. They tracked the economic ramifications of decisions about the spent nuclear fuel stored at those reactors. The study revealed that no significant negative effects on residential property values resulted from a decision to move spent nuclear fuel fromwet storage to a dry-cask storage facility or from a request to extend the reactor operating permit (given future changes in the type of nuclear fuel storage facility that would accompany such an extension).

The uncertainties associated with a Bayesian analysis may be assessed by generating a set of random samples from the posterior, which may be accomplished using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique. We demonstrate the combination of these techniques for a reconstruction of a two-dimensional object from two orthogonal noisy projections. The reconstructed object is modeled in terms of a deformable geometrically defined boundary with a uniform interior density yielding a nonlinear reconstruction problem. We show how an MCMC sequence can be used to estimate uncertainties in the location of the edge of the reconstructed object. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

T1 - Parameters of photosynthesis: definitions, theory and interpretation of results. JO - Journal of Plankton Research JF - Journal of Plankton Research Y1 - 1997/11// VL - 19 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1637 EP - 1670 SN - 01427873 AB - A global assessment of carbon flux in the world ocean is one of the major undertakings of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). This has to be undertaken using historical in situ data of primary productivity. As required by the temporal and spatial scales involved in a global study, it can be conveniently done by combining, through appropriate models, remotely sensed information (chlorophyll a, temperature) with basic information about the parameters related to the carbon uptake by phytoplanktonic algae. This requires a better understanding as well as a more extended knowledge of these parameters which govern the radiative energy absorption and utilization by algae in photosynthesis. The measurement of the photosynthetic response of algae [ photosynthesis (P) versus it-radiance (E) curves], besides being less shiptime consuming than in situ primary production experiments, allows the needed parameters to be derived and systematically studied as a function of the physical, chemical and ecological conditions. The aim of the present paper is to review the sig nificance of these parameters, especially in view of their introduction into models, to analyze the causes of their variations in the light of physiological considerations, and finally to provide methodo logical recommendations for meaningful determinations, and interpretation, of the data resulting from P versus E determinations. Of main concern are the available and usable irradiance, the chloro phyll a-specific absorption capabilities of the algae, the maximum light utilization coefficient (cs), the maximum quantum yield (φm)( the maximum photosynthetic rate (Pm) and the light saturation index (EL). The potential of other, non-intrusive, approaches, such as the stimulated variable fluorescence, or the sun-induced natural fluorescence techniques is also examined.

Overexpression of Hal2p confers lithium resistance in yeast, and its activity is inhibited by submillimolar amounts of Li+ in vitro. Here we report that pAp accumulation in HAL2 mutants inhibits the 5′→3′ exoribonucleases Xrn1p and Rat1p. Li treatment of a wild-type yeast strain also inhibits the exonucleases, as a result of pAp accumulation due to inhibition of Hal2p; 5′ processing of the 5.8S rRNA and snoRNAs, degradation of pre-rRNA spacer fragments and mRNA turnover are inhibited. Lithium also inhibits the activity of RNase MRP by a mechanism which is not mediated by pAp. A mutation in the RNase MRP RNA confers Li+ hypersensitivity and is synthetically lethal with mutations in either HAL2 or XRN1. We propose that Li toxicity in yeast is due to synthetic lethality evoked between Xrn1p and RNase MRP. Similar mechanisms may contribute to the effects of Li+ on development and in human neurobiology.

To be useful, a biomarker for exposure and risk assessment should employ an end point that is highly quantitative, stable over time, and relevant to human risk. Recent advances in chromosome staining using fluorescence in situ hybridization facilitate fast and reliable measurement of simple translocations, a type of DNA damage linked both to prior clastogenic exposure and to risk. In contrast to other biomarkers available, the frequency of simple translocations in individuals exposed to whole-body radiation is stable over time postexposure, has little interindividual variability, and can be measured accurately at low frequencies. -- Environ Health Perspect 105(Suppl 6): 1433-1436 (1997).

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 1997/12// VL - 16 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2529 EP - 2537 SN - 07307268 AB - A multispecies terrestrial test system was used to assess the environmental effectiveness of composting for bioremediation of explosives-contaminated soils. The assessment involved comparing biological responses, from the individual to the community level, in remediated and reference composts. A 6-month greenhouse study incorporated two soil invertebrate species, three plant species and an associated symbiont, and the naturally occurring complement of soil microorganisms. Measured parameters included growth and reproduction of earthworms and isopods; soil mite diversity; soil lipid class composition as an indicator of soil microbial community structure; plant growth, photosynthesis, and reproduction; and root nodulation and symbiotic N2 fixation. Additional short-term toxicity tests of seed germination and earthworm survival were performed to supplement the mesocosm data. Compost prepared from the explosives-contaminated soil inhibited several aspects of plant growth and physiology, but few adverse effects on soil invertebrates were detected. An initial lag in earthworm and isopod reproduction occurred in the reference compost, reflecting some inherent compost differences not associated with contamination, and highlighting the importance and the difficulty of finding appropriate reference soils for assessing hazardous waste sites or remediation technologies. Nonetheless, the results from this study suggested some nonlethal effects from the contaminated-soil compost, primarily to plants. The mesocosm methodology used in this study can bridge the gap between traditional short-term toxicity testing and longer term field assessments, and provide information on ecological effects by explicitly including measurements of multiple species across several levels of ecological organization.

JO - Fundamental & Applied Toxicology JF - Fundamental & Applied Toxicology Y1 - 1997/12// VL - 40 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 191 EP - 204 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 02720590 AB - Chemicals, by virtue of their varied interactions with biological molecules, are expected to differ in the way they may alter female reproduction. Reproductive toxicity may reflect effects either on the female germ cells or on various maternal processes such as ovulation, implantation, pregnancy, and parturition. In either case, the ultimate manifestation of chemical toxicity on female reproduction is a decrease in the number of normal young born. Very little information is available on the effects of chemicals that are nonhormonal in nature on the long-term ability of treated females to produce offspring. This report presents the results of long-term female total reproductive capacity (TRC) tests on 29 chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and alkylating and industrial agents. For each chemical, the minimum test involved an evaluation of the maximum tolerated dose administered as a single intraperitoneal injection. Females were single-pair mated with an untreated male for most of the female's reproductive life span (a minimum of 347 days posttreatment) and scored for the number of live births produced during this period. Confirmatory dominant lethal experiments or histological examinations for numbers of small follicles were carried out when mutagenic effects or cytotoxicity, respectively, were suspected as the basis for reduced fertility. Of the 29 chemicals studied, 17 had reproductive effects which may be grouped into one of three classes: (1) those that reduced the total number of young and litters per female, (2) those that reduced the total number of young but not of litters, and (3) those that had no significant effect on the total number of young produced but reduced the size of the first and/or second litters. The TRC provides a capacity for detecting a range of toxic insults upon female reproduction. Many of the chemicals were indeed shown to affect the reproductive performance of females through mutagenic and/or cytotoxic effects on follicles. In some cases, however, no causative mechanism could be identified for the observed reduction in reproductive performance. Nevertheless, with this report the number of chemicals tested by this TRC procedure has been quadrupled and the categories of chemicals tested have been substantially broadened.

The data for this studyare derived from simulator examination reports from the NRC requalification examination cycle for nuclear power plant operators. The ASEPprocedure was used to estimate human error probability (HEP) values for critical tasks, and the HEP results were compared with the failure rates observed in the examinations. The ASEP procedure was applied by PNNL operator license examiners who supplemented the limited information in the examination reports with expert judgment based upon their extensive simulator examination experience. Comparison of the average of the ASEP HEP values with the fraction of the population actually failed and demonstrated that the ASEP HEP values are larger (conservative) by a statistically significant average factor of two. Partitioning of tasks into subgroups based on the ASEP HEP values and comparison of the subgroup average ASEP HEP values with observed subgroup failure rates showed little or no conservatism for small ASEP HEP values, but considerable conservatism for larger ASEP HEP values.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 1998/01//1/1/98 VL - 17 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 26 SN - 02614189 AB - Each T cell receptor (TCR) recognizes a peptide antigen bound to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule via a clonotypic αβ heterodimeric structure (Ti) non-covalently associated with the monomorphic CD3 signaling components. A crystal structure of an αβ TCR­anti-TCR Fab complex shows an Fab fragment derived from the H57 monoclonal antibody (mAb), interacting with the elongated FG loop of the Cβ domain, situated beneath the Vβ domain. This loop, along with the partially exposed ABED β sheet of Cβ, and glycans attached to both Cβ and Cα domains, forms a cavity of sufficient size to accommodate a single non-glycosylated Ig domain such as the CD3ε ectodomain. That this asymmetrically localized site is embedded within the rigid constant domain module has implications for the mechanism of signal transduction in both TCR and pre-TCR complexes. Furthermore, quaternary structures of TCRs vary significantly even when they bind the same MHC molecule, as manifested by a unique twisting of the V module relative to the C module.

Through the use of new software tools, the performance of this algorithm has been considerably improved. The method has also been extended to three space dimensions. The method performs well for strongly anisotropic problems and for problems with coefficients jumping by orders of magnitude across internal interfaces. The parallel efficiency of this method is analyzed, and its actual performance on the CM-5 is compared with its performance on the CRAY Y-MP and the Sparc-5. A standard coarsening multigrid algorithm is also considered, and we compare its performance on these three platforms as well.

However, widespread popularity of these discretizations has been hindered by the awkward linear systems which result. The present work overcomes this awkwardness and develops preconditioners which yield solution algorithms for these discretizations with an efficiency comparable to that of the multigrid method for standard discretizations. Our approach exploits the natural partitioning of the linear system obtained by the mixed-hybrid finite element method. By eliminating different subsets of unknowns, two Schur complements are obtained with known structure. Replacing key matrices in this structure by lumped approximations, we define three optimal preconditioners. Central to the optimal performance of these preconditioners is their sparsity structure which is compatible with standard finite difference discretizations and hence treated adequately with only a single multigrid cycle. In this paper we restrict the discussion to the two-dimensional case; these techniques are readily extended to three dimensions.

The overall algorithm, Newton-Krylov-Schwarz (NKS), employs an inexact finite difference Newton method and a Krylov space iterative method, with a two-level overlapping Schwarz method as a preconditioner. We demonstrate that NKS, combined with a density upwinding continuation strategy for problems with weak shocks, is robust and economical for this class of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic nonlinear partial differential equations, with proper specification of several parameters. We study upwinding parameters, inner convergence tolerance, coarse grid density, subdomain overlap, and the level of fill-in in the incomplete factorization, and report their effect on numerical convergence rate, overall execution time, and parallel efficiency on a distributed-memory parallel computer.

This system of equations is characterized by multiple time and spatial scales and contains highly anisotropic transport coefficients due to a strong imposed magnetic field. We use Newton's method to linearize the nonlinear system of equations resulting from an implicit, finite volume discretization of the governing partial differential equations, on a staggered Cartesian mesh. The resulting linear systems are neither symmetric nor positive definite, and are poorly conditioned. Preconditioned Krylov iterative techniques are employed to solve these linear systems. We investigate both a modified and a matrix-free Newton-Krylov implementation, with the goal of reducing CPU cost associated with the numerical formation of the Jacobian. A combination of a damped iteration, mesh sequencing, and a pseudotransient continuation technique is used to enhance global nonlinear convergence and CPU efficiency. GMRES is employed as the Krylov method with incomplete lower-upper (ILU) factorization preconditioning. The goal is to construct a combination of nonlinear and linear iterative techniques for this complex physical problem that optimizes trade-offs between robustness, CPU time, memory requirements, and code complexity. It is shown that a mesh sequencing implementation provides significant CPU savings for fine grid calculations. Performance comparisons of modified Newton-Krylov and matrix-free Newton-Krylov algorithms will be presented.

JO - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics JF - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Y1 - 1998/01/02/Jan1998 Supplement VL - 48 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 49 SN - 00114626 AB - There seems to be a general consensus now that a first glimpse of a QGP-like effect has become visible in the beautiful NA50 data on J/ϕ production and the ‘anomalous supression’ phenomenon. On the other hand, it is still widely believed that the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions at CERN SPS energy is predominantly governed by soft, nonperturbative physics. This is ironic: after all, it is unlikely that a QGP could be formed if the underlying dynamics were essentially soft, rather than that it requires intense quark-gluon production with sufficient cascade-like reinteractions which drive the matter to large density and equilibrium. Therefore, I advocate in this contribution that for ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions a description based on the pQCD interactions and cascade evolution of involved partons can and should be used, owing to the claim that short-range parton interactions play an important role at sufficiently high beam energies, including CERN energy $$\sqrt s \simeq 20$$ A·GeV. Here mini-jet production which liberates of quarks and gluons cannot be considered as an isolated rare phenomenon, but can occur quite copiously and may lead to complex multiple cascade-type processes.

Recent studies suggest that tropical grasslands and savannas may contribute more to the ‘missing sink’ than was previously appreciated, perhaps as much as 0.5 Pg (= 0.5 Gt) carbon per annum. The rapid increase in availability of productivity data facilitated by the Internet will be important for future scaling-up of global change responses, to establish independent lines of evidence about the location and size of carbon sinks.

JO - Tree Physiology JF - Tree Physiology Y1 - 1998/02// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 71 EP - 79 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 0829318X AB - Sap flow gauges were used to estimate whole-plant water flux for five stem-diameter classes of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) growing in the understory of an upland oak forest and exposed to one of three large-scale (0.64 ha) manipulations of soil water content. This Throughfall Displacement Experiment (TDE) used subcanopy troughs to intercept roughly 30% of the throughfall on a “dry” plot and a series of pipes to move this collected precipitation across an “ambient” plot and onto a “wet” plot. Saplings with a stem diameter larger than 10 cm lost water at rates 50-fold greater than saplings with a stem diameter of 1 to 2 cm (326 versus 6.4 mol H2O tree−1 day−1). These size-class differences were driven largely by differences in leaf area and cross-sectional sapwood area, because rates of water flux expressed per unit leaf area (6.90 mol H2O m−2 day−1) or sapwood area (288 mol H2O dm−2 day−1) were similar among saplings of the five size classes. Daily and hourly rates of transpiration expressed per unit leaf area varied throughout much of the season, as did soil matrix potentials, and treatment differences due to the TDE were observed during two of the seven sampling periods. On July 6, midday rates of transpiration averaged 1.88 mol H2O m−2 h−1 for saplings in the “wet” plot, 1.22 mol H2O m−2 h−1 for saplings in the “ambient” plot, and 0.76 mol H2O m−2 h−1 for saplings in the “dry” plot. During the early afternoon of August 28, transpiration rates were sevenfold lower for saplings in the “dry” plot compared to saplings in the “wet” plot and 2.5-fold lower compared to saplings in the “ambient” plot. Treatment differences in crown conductance followed a pattern similar to that of transpiration, with values that averaged 60% lower for saplings in the “dry” plot compared to saplings in the “wet” plot and 35% lower compared to saplings in the “ambient” plot. Stomatal and boundary layer conductances were roughly equal in magnitude. Estimates of the decoupling coefficient (Ω) ranged between 0.64 and 0.72 for saplings in the three TDE treatment plots. We conclude that red maple saplings growing in the understory of an upland oak forest are responsive to their edaphic and climatic surroundings, and because of either their small stature or their shallow root distribution, or both, are likely to be impacted by precipitation changes similar to those predicted by global climate models.

For example, young expanding leaves in tree species may be less affected by enriched CO2 -alterations in leaf phytochemistry than older mature leaves due to shorter exposure times to elevated CO2 atmospheres. This, in turn, could result in different effects on early vs. late instar larvae of herbivorous insects. To address this, seedlings of white oak (Quercus alba L.), grown in open-top chambers under ambient and elevated CO2 , were fed to two important early spring feeding herbivores; gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.), and forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria Hübner). Young, expanding leaves were presented to early instar larvae, and older fully expanded or mature leaves to late instar larvae. Young leaves had significantly lower leaf nitrogen content and significantly higher total nonstructural carbohydrate:nitrogen ratio as plant CO2 concentration rose, while nonstructural carbohydrates and total carbon-based phenolics were unaffected by plant CO2 treatment. These phytochemical changes contributed to a significant reduction in the growth rate of early instar gypsy moth larvae, while growth rates of forest tent caterpillar were unaffected. The differences in insect responses were attributed to an increase in the nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) of early instar forest tent caterpillar larvae feeding on elevated CO2 -grown leaves, while early instar gypsy moth larval NUE remained unchanged among the treatments. Later instar larvae of both insect species experienced larger reductions in foliage quality on elevated CO2 -grown leaves than earlier instars, as the carbohydrate:nitrogen ratio of leaves substantially increased. Despite this, neither insect species exhibited changes in growth or consumption rates between CO2...

However, concerns ranging from rights management to the long-term integrity of citations are just two of the issues which continue to impede the widespread adoption of such a mode of publication. This paper discusses the history and purposes of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as well as the role identifiers will play in the deployment of online serials. Particular attention is paid to development of Uniform Resource Names (URNs), one of the goals of which is to use existing identifier systems, such as ISBNs, ISSNs, and SICIs. The paper describes URN syntax and resolution, then presents some illustrations of how WWW-based publication of online serials might use different forms of URIs.

Of particular interest are the spurious boundary layers created around prescribed boundaries in which the pressure exhibits spurious behaviour. The flow is very prone to singular behaviour, especially around geometrical singularities. That is why this phenomenon is studied using as an example the flow in a diverging channel with sharp changes in the angle. The reasons for, and a possible remedy to, the singular (and aphysical) behaviour of the numerical solution are discussed. The results of the numerical experiments clearly support the conclusions of this discussion. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

It has been recognized for some time that these blocks now have compositions and textures that differ markedly from those of the units from which they came. They tend to be more plagioclase rich and seem to have lost mafic components to the surrounding gabbro. Numerical simulations coupling crystallization, melting, and heat and mass transfer for a multicomponent system show how the blocks reacted with the mush in which they were emplaced. Enhanced cooling and crystallization of a compositionally stratified mush adjacent to the blocks resulted in patterns of melt compositions similar to those of layering around the blocks. Volume changes during crystallization and melting induced convection of the interstitial melt leading to changes in the bulk compositions of the blocks and the surrounding mush. Inhomogeneities such as inclusions are likely to facilitate the onset of compositional convection in a chemically stratified solidification zone.

Discrete inner products and the lowest-order Raviart­Thomas approximating space are used in the expanded mixed method in order to develop the finite difference scheme. Analysis of the scheme is given assuming an implicit time discretization. In this two-level scheme, the full nonlinear problem is solved on a ‘coarse’ grid of size H. The nonlinearities are expanded about the coarse grid solution and an appropriate interpolation operator is used to provide values of the coarse grid solution on the fine grid in terms of superconvergent node points. The resulting linear but nonsymmetric system is solved on a ‘fine’ grid of size h. Some a priori error estimates are derived which show that the discrete L∞(L2) and L2(H1) errors are O(h2 + H4-d/2 + Δt), where d ≥ 1 is the spatial dimension.

The rates decrease with increase in pH. The pH dependence is probably related to protonation of ferrate(VI) and ammonia. The theoretical curve through data gave the rate constants; k7(HFeO4 ‐ + NH4 +) = 8.46±0.50x10‐1 M‐1s‐1; kg(FeO4 2‐ + NH4 +) = 1.26±0.11x10‐1 M‐1s‐1; k10(FeO4 2‐ + NH3) = 1.19±0.10x10‐1 M‐1s‐1. The activation parameters, ?H? and ?S? were found to be 67.3 ± 3.5 kJ/mol and 33.1 ± 0.2 J/mol.K, respectively. When ferrate(VI) was used in excess relative to ammonia in the oxidation reaction, 22 % of ammonia removal was achieved. The usefulness of ferrate(VI) to remove ammonia from wastewater is discussed.

Painting was also used to determine if aberration frequencies are proportional to the size of selected chromosomes in human lymphocytes irradiated in vitro. The in vitro results showed that the frequencies of radiation-induced stable aberrations (i.e. translocations and insertions) in chromosomes 3,5 and 6 painted in unique colors are proportional to chromosome size. Aberration frequencies in the normal subjects were measured using two different sets of paints, one set for chromosomes 3,5 and 6 where each chromosome was labeled in a unique color and one set where chromosomes 1,2 and 4 were painted in a single color. The frequency of aberrations among chromosomes 1-6 in the population as a whole was also found to be proportional to chromosome size. However, some individual subjects had a distribution of damage that was not proportional to chromosome size due to the presence of clones of abnormal cells. Aberration frequencies measured in chromosomes 3, 5 and 6 as a set were highly correlated with those observed in chromosomes 1,2 and 4 as a set, after adjusting for the different amounts of the genome that were painted. We also determined whether differences exist in the aberration frequencies measured by two scoring systems: the classical method, where reciprocal exchanges are scored as single events, and PAINT, where each break junction is scored as a single event The two scoring systems gave highly correlated results for translocations and differed by a constant value (PAINT X 0.58 = classical method). Approximately 27% of translocations were observed to be nonreciprocal due to a failure to detect exchanges involving small amounts of material or to a non-reciprocal exchange mechanism. Our results support the hypothesis that cytogenetic evaluations for biodosimetry can be performed with any one or more of the chromosomes studied here and indicate that the aberration frequency measurements are independent of the scoring system selected for the evaluation. We also present a simple statistical method for identifying subjects that may possess clonal aberrations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Mutagenesis is the property of Oxford University Press / USA and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1998/05// VL - 139 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 200 SN - 0028646X AB - The global cycles of carbon and nitrogen are being perturbed by human activities that increase the transfer from large pools of non-reactive forms of the elements to reactive forms that are essential to the functioning of the terrestrial biosphere. The cycles are closely linked at all scales, and global change analyses must consider C and N cycles together. The increasing amount of N originating from fossil fuel combustion and deposited to terrestrial ecosystems as nitrogen oxides could increase the capacity of ecosystems to sequester C, thereby removing some of the excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slowing the development of greenhouse warming. Several global and ecosystem models have calculated the amount of C sequestration that can he attributed to N deposition, based on assumptions about the allocation of N among ecosystem components with different C : N ratios. They support the premise that, since industrialization began, N deposition has been responsible for an increasing terrestrial C sink, but there is great uncertainty whether ecosystems will continue to retain exogenous N. Whether terrestrial ecosystems continue to sequester additional C will depend in part on their response to increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide, widely thought to be constrained by limited N availability. Ecosystem models generally support the conclusion that responses to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide will be greater, and the range of possible responses will be wider, in ecosystems where increased N inputs originate as atmospheric deposition. The interactions between N deposition and increasing carbon dioxide concentrations could be altered considerably, however, by additional factors, including N saturation of ecosystems, changes in community composition, and climate change. Nitrogen deposition is also linked to global change issues through the volatile losses of nitrous oxide, which is a potent greenhouse gas , and the role of nitrogen oxide in the production of tropospheric ozone, which could interact with plant responses to elevated carbon dioxide. Any consideration of the role of N deposition in global change issues must also balance the projected responses against the serious detrimental impact of excess N on the environment.

Seasonal changes in irradiance in the shrub layer, and in the leaf CO2 exchange of viburnum, and sugar maple and beech saplings were also measured. Leaf expansion occurred earlier in the spring and green leaves were retained later in the autumn in saplings and shrubs than in overstory trees. During the spring light phase (before overstory closure), large CO2 gains by all three shrub-layer species occurred as a result of a combination of relatively large leaf area, high photosynthetic capacity, and high irradiance. Throughout the summer shade phase, photosynthetic capacity at a given irradiance remained relatively constant, but CO2 gain was typically limited by low irradiances. Even though irradiance in the shrub layer increased during the autumn light phase as the overstory opened, CO2 gains were modest compared to springtime values because of declining leaf area and photosynthetic capacity in all three species. The CO2 gains during the spring light phase, and to a lesser extent during the autumn light phase, may be important to the carbon balance and long-term persistence of saplings and shrubs in the usually light-limited shrub layer of a northern hardwood forest. Therefore, for some late-successional species, leaf phenology may be an important characteristic that permits their long-term persistence in the shrub layer of mature northern hardwood forests.

Beginning July 1993, the trees were subjected to one of three throughfall precipitation treatments: ambient, ambient minus 33% (dry treatment), and ambient plus 33% (wet treatment). During the dry 1995 growing season, leaf water potentials of all species declined to between –2.5 and –3.1 MPa in the dry treatment. There was considerable variation in Ψπo among species (–1.0 to –2.0 MPa). Based on Ψπo values, American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.), dogwood (Cornus florida L.), and sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) were least dehydration tolerant, red maple (A. rubrum L.) was intermediate in tolerance, and white oak (Quercus alba L.) and chestnut oak (Quercus prinus L.) were most tolerant. During severe drought, overstory chestnut oak and understory dogwood, red maple and chestnut oak displayed osmotic adjustment (–0.12 to –0.20 MPa) in the dry treatment relative to the wet treatment. (No osmotic adjustment was evident in understory red maple and chestnut oak during the previous wet year.) Osmotic potential at full turgor was generally correlated with leaf water potential, with both declining over the growing season, especially in species that displayed osmotic adjustment. However, osmotic adjustment was not restricted to species considered dehydration tolerant; for example, dogwood typically maintained high Ψπo and displayed osmotic adjustment to drought, but had the highest mortality rates of the species studied. Understory saplings tended to have higher Ψπo than overstory trees when water availability was high, but Ψπo of understory trees declined to values observed for overstory trees during severe drought. We conclude that Ψπo varies among deciduous hardwood species and is dependent on canopy position and soil water potential in the rooting zone.

The main species sampled included overstory chestnut oak (Quercus prinus L.), white oak (Q. alba L.), red maple (Acer rubrum L.); intermediates sugar maple (A. saccharum L.) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica Marsh.); and understory dogwood (Cornus florida L.) and red maple. The precipitation treatments were: ambient precipitation; ambient minus 33% of throughfall (dry); and ambient plus 33% of throughfall (wet). Except in late September, midday leaf water potentials (Ψl) were generally high in all species in all treatments, ranging from –0.31 to –1.34 MPa for C. florida, –0.58 to –1.51 MPa for A. rubrum, and –0.78 to –1.86 MPa for Q. prinus. Both treatment and species differences in Ψπo were evident, with oak species generally exhibiting lower Ψπo than A. saccharum, A. rubrum, C. florida, and N. sylvatica. The Ψπo of C. florida saplings declined in the dry treatment, and Q. prinus, Q. alba, and A. saccharum all exhibited a declining trend of Ψπo in the dry treatment, although Ψπo of Q. prinus leaves increased in late August, corresponding to a recovery in soil water potential. Cornus florida exhibited osmotic adjustment with the largest adjustment coinciding with the period of lowest soil water potential in June. The only other species to exhibit osmotic adjustment was Q. prinus, which also maintained a lower baseline Ψπo than the other species. We conclude that a 33% reduction of throughfall is sufficient both to alter the water relations of some species in the upland oak forest and to enable the identification of those species capable of osmotic adjustment to a short-term drought during a wet year.

JO - Communications of the ACM JF - Communications of the ACM Y1 - 1998/06// VL - 41 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 87 EP - 95 SN - 00010782 AB - This article relates to automated reasoning strategies that help in fast and flawless logical reasoning. The author holds that imperfect reasoning gives rise to many problems like bugs in computer programs, flaws in chip designs and errors in mathematical proofs. Automated reasoning, according to the author, is a one step solution to all these problems. The focus of automated reasoning is the design and implementation of computer programs that flawlessly apply logical reasoning to reach the objective, irrespective of the area of interest. The significance of reasoning programs like OTTER, an automated reasoning program, can be easily determined by the fact that they have also been used by educators in undergraduate logic courses and in graduate level courses for interactive theorem proving, besides their being, by their very nature, a perfect assistant in puzzle solving. Further, automated reasoning programs don't use instantiation to draw conclusions but logical unification always remains at the core of these programs.

Recent studies have shown that peak blood concentrations of TCA in rats do not occur until approximately 12 hours following an oral dose of TRI. However, blood concentrations of TRI reach a maximum within an hour and are nondetectable after 2 hours.(1) The results of a study which examined the enterohepatic recirculation (EHC) of the principle TRI metabolites(2) was used to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for TRI, which includes enterohepatic recirculation of its metabolites. The model quantitatively predicts the uptake, distribution and elimination of TRI, trichloroethanol, trichloroethanol-glucuronide, and TCA and includes production of metabolites through the enterohepatic recirculation pathway. Physiologic parameters used in the model were obtained from the literature.(3,4) Parameters for TRI metabolism were taken from Fisher et al.(5) Other kinetic parameters were found in the literature or estimated from experimental data.(2) The model was calibrated to data from experiments of an earlier study where TRI was orally administered.(2) Verification of the model was conducted using data on the enterohepatic recirculation of TCEOH and TCA,(2) chloral hydrate data (infusion doses) from Merdink,(6) and TRI data from Templin(l) and Larsonand Bu11.(7) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Risk Analysis: An International Journal is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Recently, a human transcription elongation factor P-TEFb, consisting of CDK9 kinase, cyclin T and other associated factors, has been shown to interact with Tat to restore Tat activation in HeLa nuclear extract depleted of P-TEFb. Here, we report the purification of a P-TEFb complex fraction containing epitope­tagged wild-type CDK9 or kinase­inactive CDK9 and five tightly associated polypeptides. Only wild-type P-TEFb complex with an active CDK9 kinase was able to hyperphosphorylate the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II and mediate Tat transactivation in P-TEFb-depleted HeLa nuclear extract. Tat also stimulated transcription elongation by recruitment of the P-TEFb complex to the HIV-1 promoter through a Tat­ TAR interaction. A possible mechanism for P-TEFb to become associated with polymerase elongation complexes and function as a general elongation factor was demonstrated by an interaction of P-TEFb with double-stranded RNA molecules through an 87 kDa subunit. Finally, P-TEFb was found to interact with and phosphorylate Tat-SF1, a Tat cofactor required for Tat transactivation. Our data indicate that the various subunits of the human P-TEFb complex may play distinct roles at multiple stages to mediate Tat activation of HIV-1 transcription elongation.

T1 - DNA ligase I is recruited to sites of DNA replication by an interaction with proliferating cell nuclear antigen: identification of a common targeting mechanism for the assembly of replication factories. JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 1998/07//7/1/98 VL - 17 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 3786 EP - 3795 SN - 02614189 AB - In mammalian cells, DNA replication occurs at discrete nuclear sites termed replication factories. Here we demonstrate that DNA ligase I and the large subunit of replication factor C (RF-C p140) have a homologous sequence of ∼20 amino acids at their N-termini that functions as a replication factory targeting sequence (RFTS). This motif consists of two boxes: box 1 contains the sequence IxxFF whereas box 2 is rich in positively charged residues. N-terminal fragments of DNA ligase I and the RF-C large subunit that contain the RFTS both interact with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in vitro. Moreover, the RFTS of DNA ligase I and of the RF-C large subunit is necessary and sufficient for the interaction with PCNA. Both subnuclear targeting and PCNA binding by the DNA ligase I RFTS are abolished by replacement of the adjacent phenylalanine residues within box 1. Since sequences similar to the RFTS/PCNA-binding motif have been identified in other DNA replication enzymes and in p21CIP1/WAF1, we propose that, in addition to functioning as a DNA polymerase processivity factor, PCNA plays a central role in the recruitment and stable association of DNA replication proteins at replication factories.

For many applications, however, the use of massed and evaporating particles would provide a model of physical processes that could be used in product testing or design. In this article we describe the TrackPack toolkit, which provides an integrated interface for computing massless, massed, and evaporating particle trajectories in steady flow. In all cases, we assume a noncoupled model and compute particle trajectories through an existing vector field by numerically integrating with forward Euler, fourth-order Runge-Kutta, or an analytic streamline calculation. The TrackPack software effort was motivated by an industrial application to model pollution control systems in industrial boilers. We briefly describe the project and the visualization environment, and we demonstrate the necessity for massed, evaporating models in the application.

There has been a recent proliferation of literature on the effects of atmospheric CO2. on forest trees. More than 300 studies of trees on five different continents have been published in the last five years. These include an increasing number of field studies with a long-term focus and involving CO2 × stress or environment interactions. The recent data on long-term effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on trees indicate a potential for a persistent enhancement of tree growth for several years, although the only relevant long-term datasets currently available are for juvenile trees. The current literature indicates a significantly larger average long-term biomass increment under elevated CO2for conifers (130%) than for deciduous trees (49 %) in studies not involving stress components. However, stimulation of photosynthesis by elevated CO2 in long-term studies was similar for conifers (62%) and deciduous trees (53% ). Recent studies indicate that elevated CO2 causes a more persistent stimulation of biomass increment and photosynthesis than previously expected. Results of seedling studies, however, might not he applicable to other stages of tree development because of complications of age-dependent and size-dependent shifts in physiology and carbon allocation, which are accelerated by elevated CO2. In addition, there are many possible avenues to down-regulation, making the predicted canopy CO2. exchange and growth of mature trees and forests in a CO2-rich atmosphere uncertain. Although, physiological down-regulation of photosynthetic rates has been documented in held situations, it is rarely large enough to offset entirely photosynthetic gains in elevated CO2. .A persistent growth stimulation of individual mature trees has been demonstrated although this effect is more uncertain in trees in natural stands. Resource interactions can both constrain tree responses to elevated CO2 and be altered by them. Although drought can reduce gas-exchange rates and offset the benefits of' elevated CO2, even in well watered trees, stomatal conductance is remarkably less responsive to elevated CO2 than in herbaceous species. Stomata of a number of' tree species have been demonstrated to be unresponsive to elevated CO2. We conclude that positive effects of CO2 on leaf area can be at least as important in determining canopy transpiration as negative, direct effects of CO2 on stomatal aperture. With respect to nutrition, elevated CO2 has the potential to alter tree-soil interactions that might influence future changes in ecosystem productivity. There is continued evidence that in most cases nutrient limitations diminish growth and photosynthetic responses to elevated CO2 at least to some degree, and that elevated CO2 can accelerate the appearance of nutrient limitations with increasing time of treatment. In many studies, tree biomass responses to CO2 are artefacts in the sense that they are merely responses to CO2-induced changes in internal nutritional status of the tree. There are numerous interactions between CO2 and factors of the biotic and abiotic environment. The importance of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations for productivity is likely to he overestimated if these are not taken into account. Many interactions, however, are simply additive rather than synergistic or antagonistic. This appears to hold true for many parameters under elevated CO2 in combination with temperature, elevated O3, and other atmospheric pollutants. However, there is currently little evidence that elevated CO2 will counteract O3damage. When the foliage content of C. mineral nutrients and secondary metabolites is altered by elevated CO2. tree × insect interactions arc modified. In most trees. mycorrhizal interactions might be less important for direct effects of CO2 than for alleviating general nutrient deficiencies. Since many responses to elevated CO2 and their interactions with stress show considerable variability among species/genotypes, one principal research need is for comparative studies of a large variety of woody species and ecosystems under realistic conditions. we still need more long-term experiments on mature trees and stands to address critical scaling issues likely to advance our understanding of responses to elevated CO2 at different stages of forest development and their interactions with climate and environment. The only tools available at present for coping with the consequences of rising CO2 are management of resources and selection of genotypes suitable for the future climate and environment.

P-element transposition is tightly regulated, and P-element-encoded repressor proteins are responsible for inhibiting transposition in vivo. To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which one of these repressors, the KP protein, inhibits transposition, a variety of mutant KP proteins were prepared and tested for their biochemical activities. The repressor activities of the wild-type and mutant KP proteins were tested in vitro using several different assays for P-element transposase activity. These studies indicate that the site-specific DNA-binding activity of the KP protein is essential for repressing transposase activity. The DNA-binding domain of the KP repressor protein is also shared with the transposase protein and resides in the N-terminal 88 amino acids. Within this region, there is a C2HC putative metal-binding motif that is required for site-specific DNA binding. In vitro the KP protein inhibits transposition by competing with the transposase enzyme for DNA-binding sites near the P-element termini.

SN - 09603271 AB - Risk management typically involves efforts to reduce human exposures by establishing regulations that limit the concentration of the substance in environmental media. In cases where a substance is widely used in commerce or is naturally occurring in the environment, compliance costs can be substantial because of nationwide requirements to add expensive control technologies. Uncertainties in a dose-response function further impact risk management decisions because they may correspond to large differences in health benefit per unit exposure reduction. These problems are highlighted in the case of plausibly hormetic environmental carcinogens, for which a linear-no-threshold (LNT) dose-response model has been the traditional regulatory default assumption. In this case, model uncertainty is pivotal, and risk management is consequently inherently controversial. However, marginal cost functions that arise for plausibly hormetic carcinogens are expected to possess a common analytic feature that may be particularly useful for this type of risk management problem. Specifically, marginal cost functions in this context are expected to have roots reflecting contaminant concentration values above which regulatory goals may be optimally placed subject to cost constraints. Here we illustrate this heuristic feature in the case of residential radon, using both a LNT model and a biologically plausible hormetic model to predict associated risks of lung cancer mortality.

A survey of 52 studies conducted since 1970 indicated that rates of water use ranged from 10 kg day−1 for trees in a 32-year-old plantation of Quercus petraea L. ex Liebl. in eastern France to 1,180 kg day−1 for an overstory Euperua purpurea Bth. tree growing in the Amazonian rainforest. The studies included in this survey reported whole-tree estimates of water use for 67 species in over 35 genera. Almost 90% of the observations indicated maximum rates of daily water use between 10 and 200 kg day−1 for trees that averaged 21 m in height. The thermal techniques that made many of these estimates possible have gained widespread acceptance, and energy-balance, heat dissipation and heat-pulse systems are now routinely used with leaf-level measurements to investigate the relative importance of stomatal and boundary layer conductances in controlling canopy transpiration, whole-tree hydraulic conductance, coordinated control of whole-plant water transport, movement of water to and from sapwood storage, and whole-plant vulnerability of water transport to xylem cavitation. Techniques for estimating whole-tree water use complement existing approaches to calculating catchment water balance and provide the forest hydrologist with another tool for managing water resources. Energy-balance, heat dissipation and heat-pulse methods can be used to compare transpiration in different parts of a watershed or between adjacent trees, or to assess the contribution of transpiration from overstory and understory trees. Such studies often require that rates of water use be extrapolated from individual trees to that of stands and plantations. The ultimate success of this extrapolation depends in part on whether data covering short time sequences can be applied to longer periods of time. We conclude that techniques for estimating whole-tree water use have provided valuable tools for conducting basic and applied research. Future studies that emphasize the use of these techniques by both tree physiologists and forest hydrologists should be encouraged.

Over the last four decades a significant rise in nighttime minimum temperature has been determined from analysis of meteorological records from a global distribution of locations. The experiment involves nighttime deployment of infrared (IR) reflecting curtains around four sides of a forest canopy and across the top of the forest to mimic the top-down warming effect of cloud cover. The curtains are deployed with cable and pulley systems mounted on a tower and scaffolding structure built around the selected forest site. The trunk space is not enclosed except as an optional manipulation. The curtains reflect long-wave radiation emitted from the forest and ground back into the forest warming the trees, litter, and soil. Excellent infrared reflection can be obtained with commercially available fabrics that have aluminum foil bonded to one side. A canopy warming of 3 to 5 °C is expected on cloudless nights, and on cloudy nights, a warming of 1 to 3 °C is anticipated relative to a control plot. The curtains are withdrawn by computer control during the day and also at night during periods with precipitation or excessive wind. Examples of hypothesized ecosystem responses to nighttime warming include: (1) increase in tree maintenance respiration (decreasing carbon reserves and ultimately tree growth), (2) increase in the length of the growing season (increasing growth), (3) increase in soil respiration, (4) increase in litter decomposition, (5) increase in mineralization of N and other nutrients from soil organic matter, (6) increase in nutrient uptake (increasing growth), and (7) increase in N immobilization in litter. Hypothesis 1 has the opposite consequence for tree growth to Hypotheses 2 and 6, and thus opposite consequences for the feedback regulation that vegetation has on net greenhouse gas releases to the atmosphere. If Hypothesis 1 is dominant, warming could lead to more warming from the additional CO2 emissions. Site-specific meteorological, ecophysiological, and phenological measurements are obtained in the warming treatment and in a carefully selected control plot to investigate site-specific hypotheses. Measurements made on both plots for a baseline period and during the period of curtain deployment provide data to test the hypotheses statistically by the “before-after-control-impact” method applicable to unreplicated experiments. The enclosure has a modular design that can be adapted and combined with other forest-scale manipulation experiments such as free air CO2 enrichment and throughfall displacement.

However, confusion exists within the literature about the precise definition of telepresence. Furthermore, there is a need for a plausible and parsimonious model of telepresence. This paper identifies three types of telepresence extant in the literature: simple telepresence, cybernetic telepresence, and experiential telepresence. The third definition is the most interesting. This paper reviews the origins of experiential telepresence and the theoretical approaches commonly used to explain it. One can term these technological approaches, which emphasize the role of control/display technology, and psychological approaches, which identify experiential telepresence with known psychological phenomena. Finally, the paper presents and discusses an integrative approach to telepresence featuring a structured attentional resource model. Actual or potential applications of this research include the design of future human-machine interfaces for teleoperated robots and virtual reality systems.

Otherwise, erroneous data points may produce faulty analyses. However, simplistic quality control procedures have been known to contribute to erroneous conclusions by removing valid data points that were more extreme than the data set compilers expected. In producing version 2 of the global historical climatology network's (GHCN's) temperature data sets, a variety of quality control tests were evaluated and a specialized suite of procedures was developed. Quality control traditionally relies primarily on checks for outliers from both a time series and spatial perspective, the latter accomplished by comparisons with neighbouring stations. This traditional approach was used, and it was determined that there are many data problems that require additional tests to detect. In this paper a suite of quality control tests are justified and documented and applied to this global temperature data base, emphasizing the logic and limitations of each test. © 1998 Royal Meteorological Society [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of International Journal of Climatology is the property of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to varying concentrations (24 000, 18 000, 12 000 or 6000 ppm) of CAIS wastestream. An additional group was exposed to the vehicle (chloroform/t-butanol) only, at a concentration equivalent to the concentration of vehicle at the highest exposure level. Animals were evaluated for toxic effects, including assessment of toxicant-induced alterations to the ocular and respiratory systems. Mortality on exposure to 24 000 ppm of test article or to vehicle alone was high. Mortality in the other exposure groups was roughly proportional to the concentration of test article (wastestream). Toxic signs were consistent with exposure to solvent system components (chloroform/t-butanol) and to agent decomposition products/by-products. Incidence and severity of ocular effects were similar in vehicle control and treatment groups. The salient respiratory effect observed was a decreased minute volume, which was also noted in vehicle and treatment groups. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The success of these methods in many cases is due to the existence of good preconditioning techniques. In problems of structural mechanics, like the analysis of heat transfer and deformation of solid bodies, iterative solution of the linear equation system can result in a significant reduction of computing time. Also many preconditioning techniques can be applied to these problems, thus facilitating the choice of an optimal preconditioning on the particular computer architecture available. However, in the analysis of thin shells the situation is not so transparent. It is well known that the stiffness matrices generated by the FE discretization of thin shells are very ill-conditioned. Thus, many preconditioning techniques fail to converge or they converge too slowly to be competitive with direct solvers. In this study, the performance of some general preconditioning techniques on shell problems is examined. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The samples were collected within a study site containing radionuclide contamination above background levels. The samples were analyzed for concentrations of radionuclide's, and the results were compared using rank sum, correlation, and trend analysis. Results were then used to assess the redistribution pathway of radionuclide's within the study site. Results indicate that honey bees receive the majority of their contamination directly from the source, a radioactive waste lagoon. The amount of contamination the honey bees receive from flowers during nectar collection appears to be insignificant compared to the amount received during water collection. Results did not demonstrate significant patterns of correlation or trend between the lagoon, bees, or flowers. Sample results showed a significant boo accumulation of cobalt-60 and sodillm-22 within the honey bees but no significant boo accumulation within the flowers.

(TD) and P. deltoides × P. nigra L. (DN), growing under field conditions at two sites in eastern Washington and Oregon, USA. Trees were drip irrigated with 46, 76 or 137 cm of supplemental irrigation during each growing season. Trees at Wallula, WA, which were in their third growing season in 1994, were sampled twice a year for two years (1994 and 1995), and trees at Boardman, OR, which were in their second growing season in 1994, were sampled once a year for three years (1994–1996). At Wallula, the TD and DN clones exhibited lower predawn leaf water potentials in the 46-cm treatment than in the 137-cm treatment (–1.2 versus –0.7 MPa) during a hot, dry period in July 1994. Clone TD had a lower Ψπo than Clone DN (–1.67 versus –1.56 MPa) during the same period and the difference was also evident in 1995 (–1.81 versus –1.72 MPa) when trees were in their fourth growing season. There was also a significant treatment effect on Ψπo in Clone TD, with trees in the 46-cm treatment having lower Ψπo than trees in the 137-cm treatment in July 1994. At Boardman, Ψπo was generally high with no treatment differences during the 1994–96 samplings. The TD clones had significantly lower Ψπo than the DN clones in 1994 (–1.44 versus –1.36 MPa) and 1996 (–1.72 versus –1.54 MPa), but there was no difference between clones in 1995 (–1.40 versus –1.43 MPa). In 1995, at Wallula, osmotic adjustment in Clone TD was largely accounted for by an increase in sucrose, which constituted 70% of total organic solutes. Although the total concentration of free primary amino acids in this clone was 28% higher in trees in the 46-cm treatment than in trees in the 137-cm treatment, amino acids constituted only a small fraction of the total solute pool. Sixty-two percent of total solutes were inorganic ions in Clone TD compared to 52% in Clone DN, and potassium was the main ion constituting about 30% of total solutes and 50% of total ions. However, the clonal difference in Ψπo was not fully accounted for by the difference in solute concentration. Osmotic potential at full turgor declined over the growing season and with age. We conclude that, because the extent of osmotic adjustment exhibited by these clones was small, other drought resistance mechanisms contributed to the clonal differences in field performance.

It encodes two DNA sites and two proteins, ParA and ParB. Plasmid P7 uses a similar system, but the key macromolecular interactions are species specific. Homolog specificity scanning (HSS) exploits such specificities to map critical contact points between component macromolecules. The ParA protein contacts the par operon operator for operon autoregulation, and the ParB contacts the parS partition site during partition. Here, we refine the mapping of these contacts and extend the use of HSS to map protein—protein contacts. We found that ParB participates in autoregulation at the operator site by making a specific contact with ParA. Similarly, ParA acts in partition by making a specific contact with ParB bound at parS. Both these interactions involve contacts between a C-terminal region of ParA and the extreme N-terminus of ParB. As a single type of ParA—ParB complex appears to be involved in recognizing both DNA sites, the operator and the parS sites may both be occupied by a single protein complex during partition. The general HSS strategy may aid in solving the three-dimensional structures of large complexes of macromolecules.

This dynamical information will be used to understand the underlying dynamics of the overall system under investigation and develop an improved design. Here the emphasis is on the measurement sensor and the basic image processing required to achieve the goal of making this measurement. The scheme will be to provide a small cylindrical hole(s) in the mechanism under investigation, illuminate the surface through this “porthole,” and obtain a real-time image of the surface on a charged-coupled device (CCD) sensor array. The CCD array data will be compressed and transmitted to the ground tracking station as well as archived for future processing. Also, the design of an optimal tracker capable of providing both two-dimensional position and velocity estimates in real time is discussed. In this case, data synthesized from a dynamic simulation are processed demonstrating its capability and predicted performance. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

It constructs an orthogonal reduction of a matrix pencil into an upper Hessenberg pencil. The RKS method is useful when the matrix pencil may be efficiently factored. This paper considers approximately solving the resulting linear systems with iterative methods. We show that a Cayley transformation leads to a more efficient and robust eigensolver than the usual shift-invert transformation when the linear systems are solved inexactly within the RKS method. A relationship with the recently introduced Jacobi­Davidson method is also established.

A28 (A+B‐), R5 (A+B‐), and Gt700 (A‐B‐). The hydrophobic character of each serotype was determined by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and salt‐aggregation, and strains were ranked similarly by each method, viz. R5 ≥ A28 > Gt700 > 06. The anionic characteristics of cell‐surfaces were determined by electrostatic interaction chromatography and by zeta‐potential measurements, and ranked R5 > A28 ≥ Gt700 > 06. Adhesion and biofilm accumulation on stainless steel were significantly different between strains, following the order R5 > A28 >> O6>Gt700. Biofilm rankings were similar on glass, a second hydrophilic substratum. The mutant strains with a strongly hydrophobic character (R5 and A28) demonstrated a significantly greater capacity to form biofilms. These adherent mutants also appeared to have a more anionic cell surface, which may have played a role in biofilm formation on the hydrophilic substrata.

A relatively simple modification of the standard Galerkin implementation for computing the non-singular integrals yields a 20–30 per cent decrease in computation time. This faster Galerkin method is developed for both singular and hypersingular equations, and applied to symmetric-Galerkin implementations in two dimensions for the Laplace equation and for orthotropic elasticity. In three dimensions, the modified algorithm has been implemented for the singular equation for the Laplace and elastodynamics equations. Comparison timing results for standard and modified algorithms are presented. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

SN - 09603271 AB - A mechanistically based cytodynamic two-stage (CD2) cancer model was shown recently to predict both ecologic US county data and underground-miner data on lung-cancer mortality (LCM) vs radon concentration, indicating biological plausibility of the apparent negative dose-response relation exhibited by the ecologic data.[sup ] To further investigate this hypothesis, the CD2 model was fitted to combine age-specific LCM data vs estimated radon-exposure in white females of age 40+ years in 2821 US counties during 1950 – 1954 using new estimates of county-specific mean residential radon exposure, and in five cohorts of underground nonsmoking miners. The negative association of radon levels and corresponding county-level LCM rates apparent in women dying in 1950 – 1954 (11% of whom never smoked) was also apparent in women of age 60+ years (5% of whom never smoked). The CD2 fit obtained to the combined residential and occupational data was found to predict the combined data using biologically plausible parameter values, and also to predict inverse dose-rate effects exhibited in nonsmoking miner data to which the CD2 model was not fit. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that residential radon exposure has a nonlinear U-shaped relation to LCM risk, and that current linear extrapolation models substantially overestimate such risk.

As lamellar body secretion is controlled by ionic concentrations, especially Ca2+ and K+, we used a quantitative technique, microbeam proton-induced X-ray emission, to measure Ca2+, K+, Cl–, and P concentrations before and after acute barrier perturbation by acetone applications. We found a steep gradient of Ca2+ in normal tissue, peaking in the outer stratum granulosum, which disappeared after barrier disruption, and partially reformed as the barrier recovered. A similar gradient, peaking somewhat lower in the epidermis (i.e., at the stratum granulosum–stratum corneum interface), was found for K+. Epidermal concentrations of K+ also decreased after barrier abrogation, although to a lesser extent than Ca2+. In contrast, P and Cl– demonstrated distribution gradients at baseline, which remained unchanged after barrier disruption. These studies quantitate the levels of Ca2+, K+, Cl–, and P within specific epidermal cell layers at baseline, and in relation to changes in permeability barrier integrity. Ca2+ and K+, but not Cl– or P, decrease after barrier disruption, consistent with these two ion’s role in barrier repair. Key word: epidermal permeability barrier.

Understanding key driving forces in the energy end-use sectors provides insights for development of projections of future greenhouse gas emissions. This paper examines global and regional historical trends in energy use and carbon emissions in the industrial, buildings, transport, and agriculture sectors. Activity and economic drivers as well as trends in energy and carbon intensity are evaluated. We show that macro-economic indicators, such as GDP, are insufficient for comprehending trends and driving forces at the sectoral level. These indicators need to be supplemented with sector-specific information for a more complete understanding of future energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

In the estimation of transportation risks, population bordering a route is a direct factor in determining consequences and an indirect factor in determining exposure times, accident probabilities and seventies, and otherparameters. Proposals to transport RAM may draw intense resistance from 'stakeholders' based on concern for population concentrations along urban segments but the length of a route segment is also a determinative factor in estimating the transport risks. To quantify the relative importance of these two factors, a potential route for transportof SNF (strict use of Interstate highways) was selected and comparedwith a modified version that bypassed urban areas. The results suggest that emphasis on Interstate highways minimizes total route and urban segment risks.

These bounds may be bad news for invariant subspaces corresponding to clustered eigenvalues or clustered singular values of much smaller magnitudes than the norms of matrices under considerations. In this paper, we consider how eigenspaces of a Hermitian matrix A change when it is perturbed to à = D*AD and how singular spaces of a (nonsquare) matrix B change when it is perturbed to &Btilde; = D1* BD2, where D, D1, and D2 are nonsingular. It is proved that under these kinds of perturbations, the changes of invariant subspaces are proportional to the reciprocals of relative gaps between subsets of spectra or subsets of singular values. The classical Davis­Kahan sin θ theorems and Wedin sin θ theorems are extended.

We show this by means of some examples of one-dimensional shallow water flow over an obstacle. In two dimensions we present a new version of Lax­Friedrichs and an associated second order predictor-corrector method. Composition of these schemes is shown to be effective and effi- cient for some two-dimensional Riemann problems and for Noh's infinite strength cylindrical shock problem. We also show comparable results for composition of the predictor-corrector scheme with a modified second order accurate weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme. That compo- sition is second order but is more efficient and has better symmetry properties than WENO alone. For scalar advection in two dimensions the optimal stability of the new predictor-corrector scheme is shown using computer algebra. We also show that the generalization of this scheme to three dimen- sions is unstable, but by using sampling we are able to show that the composites are suboptimally stable.

The new algorithm employs interiorpoint techniques from linear programming, adapting them for more general nonlinear problems. A software implementation based entirely on sparse matrix methods is described. The software handles infeasible start points, identifies the active set of constraints at a solution, and can use second derivative information to solve problems. Numerical results are reported for large and small problems, and a comparison is made with other large-scale optimization codes.

We prove that for shallow attractant gradients the lumped integrals involving the tumbling probability frequency distribution and bacterial density distribution in the θ direction can be explicitly expressed as a product of three quantities: the mean tumbling frequency, the bacterial subpopulation density, and a reversal probability. We also derive expressions for the bacterial net flux in the Fickian form from which two macroscopic transport parameters, the random motility coefficient and the chemotactic velocity, are explicitly related to individual cell properties and chemical gradients.

That is, given a correlation function f reflecting the desire for each pair of elements to be near each other, find all permutations it with the property that if π(j) < π(k) then f(i,j) ≥ f(i, k) and f(j, k) ≥ f(i, k). This seriation problem is a generalization of the well-studied consecutive ones problem. We present a spectral algorithm for this problem that has a number of interesting features. Whereas most previous applications of spectral techniques provide only bounds or heuristics, our result is an algorithm that correctly solves a nontrivial combinatorial problem. In addition, spectral methods are being successfully applied as heuristics to a variety of sequencing problems, and our result helps explain and justify these applications.

This paper describes an approach to the reordering problem that produces significantly better orderings than prior methods. The algorithm is a hybrid of nested dissection and minimum degree ordering, and combines an assortment of different algorithmic advances. New or improved algorithms are described for graph compression, multilevel partitioning, and separator improvement. When these techniques are combined, the resulting orderings average 39% better than minimum degree over a suite of test matrices, while requiring roughly 2.7 times the run time of Liu's multiple minimum degree.

An analytical solution of hyperbolic conservation law on which some algebraic restrictions are imposed is presented. Special emphasis is given to the construction of a correct mathematical model for transport processes. The technique of solving the generalized Riemann problem with two initial discontinuities is developed and rigorously revised. The influence of diffusion effects on the solution profile, especially in the vicinity of a stationary contact discontinuity, is studied by numerical methods. An example of a real mass-transport process under the impact of an external force in which a part of the substance is entrapped between stationary discontinuities is presented. This physical effect was observed experimentally for the first time by the authors in electrophoresis--a separation method for chemically reactive multicolor mixtures by means of an applied electric field.

"Guillotine" subdivisions have a simple recursive structure that allows one to search for "optimal" such subdivisions in polynomial time, using dynamic programming. In particular, a consequence of our main theorem is a very simple proof that the k-MST problem in the plane has a constant-factor polynomial-time approximation algorithm: we obtain a factor of 2 (resp., 3) for the L[SUB1] metric, and a factor of 2√2 (resp., 3.266) for the L[SUB2] (Euclidean) metric in the case in which Steiner points are allowed (resp., not allowed).

The scheme is based on a staggered version of a second-order central-differencing method combined with a discrete Hodge projection. The use of central-differencing operators obviates the need to trace the characteristic flow associated with the hyperbolic terms. The result is a simple and efficient scheme which is readily adaptable to other geometries and to more complicated flows. The scheme exhibits competitive performance in terms of accuracy, resolution, and robustness. The numerical results agree accurately with linear stability theory and with previous numerical studies.

This step may be repeated an arbitrary number of times, leading to successively more accurate solutions to the advection equation. In this paper, we show how to sum the successive approximations analytically to find a single antidiffusive velocity that represents the effects of an arbitrary number of passes. The analysis is first done in one dimension to illustrate the method and then is repeated in two dimensions. The existence of cross terms in the truncation analysis of the two-dimensional equations introduces an extra complication into the calculation. We discuss the implementation of our new antidiffusive velocities and provide some examples of applications, including a third-order accurate scheme.

Furthermore, as more and more problems are working on huge datasets, it is becoming increasingly likely that data will be distributed across many processors because one processor does not have sufficient storage capacity. For these reasons, we propose that an inexact DFT such as an approximate matrix-vector approach based on singular values or a variation of the Dutt­Rokhlin fast-multipole-based algorithm may outperform any exact parallel FFT. The speedup may be as large as a factor of three in situations where FFT run time is dominated by communication. For the multipole idea we further propose that a method of ‘virtual charges’ may improve accuracy, and we provide an analysis of the singular values that are needed for the approximate matrix-vector approaches.

We follow the traditional three-step process: reduce to tridiagonal form, solve the tridiagonal problem, then backtransform the result. Since the different steps have different algorithmic characteristics, this problem serves as a perfect vehicle for exploring some issues associated with parallel linear algebra calculations. In particular, we examine the effects of matrix distribution and blocking on the computational performance of tridiagonalization and backtransformation. Through experiments on an Intel Paragon, we demonstrate that block storage of the matrix is not necessary for a highly e_cient block algorithm. The performance of our approach compares very favorably with that of the corresponding ScaLAPACK routines.

The discrete representation of the filtered output is constructed from a Krylov space generated in solving a well-conditioned system arising from a low-order PDE.

JO - Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics JF - Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Y1 - 1999/01// VL - 24 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 39 SN - 03400204 AB - Mass diffusion in multicomponent gas mixtures is governed by a coupled system of linear equations for the diffusive mass fluxes in terms of thermodynamic driving forces, known as the generalized Stefan-Maxwell equation. In computations of mass diffusion in multicomponent gas mixtures, this coupling between the different components results in considerable computational overhead. Consequently, simplified diffusion models for the diffusive mass fluxes as explicit functions of the driving forces are an attractive alternative. These models can be interpreted as an approximate solution to the Stefan Maxwell equation. Simplified diffusion models require the specification of "effective" diffusion coefficients which are usually expressed as functions of the binary diffusion coefficients of each species pair in the mixture. Current models for the effective diffusion coefficients are incapable of providing a priori control over the error incurred in the approximate solution. In this paper a general form for diagonal approximations is derived, which accounts for the requirement imposed by the special structure of the Stefan Maxwell equation that such approximations be constructed in a reduced-dimensional subspace. In addition, it is shown that current models can be expressed as particular cases of two general forms, but not all these models correspond to the general form for diagonal approximations. A new minimum error diagonal approximation (MEDA) model is proposed, based on the criterion that the diagonal approximation minimize the error in the species velocities. Analytic expressions are derived for the MEDA model's effective diffusion coefficients based on this criterion. These effective diffusion coefficients automatically give the correct solution in two important limiting cases: for that of a binary mixture, and for the case of arbitrary number of components with identical binary diffusivities. Although these minimum error effective diffusion coefficients are more...

Organic speciation for methanol, natural gas, and LP gas were consistent with previous measurements. However, several previously undetected organic by-products were observed from ethanol oxidation and pyrolysis. Organic speciation was found to vary significantly between methanol and ethanol and less so between natural gas and LP gas. Non-methane organic gases (NMOG) and specific reactivities of the respective fuels were measured, and trends with respect to proposed reactivity adjustment factors are discussed. A qualitative comparison of NMOG quantified in the flow reactor tests with the results of recent vehicle tests is also reported. The most significant differences in the comparisons were observed for toxic compounds, including the lack of detection of acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, and benzene from flow reactor experiments of methanol degradation, and the lack of detection of 1,3-butadiene from flow reactor experiments of ethanol combustion. Possible sources for the formation of these compounds in vehicle tests are discussed.

Element 105 was shown to be sorbed on the column from 12 M HCl/0.02 M HF together with its lighter homologues Nb, Ta and the pseudohomologue Pa. In elutions with 10 M HCl/0.025 M HF, 4 M HCl/0.02 M HF, and 0.5 M HCl/0.01 M HF, the extraction sequence Ta>Nb>105>Pa was observed and element 105 behaved very differently from its closest homologue Ta. As it is not possible within reasonable effort to model the many presumably mixed fluoride-chloride complexes involved in these studies, theoretical calculations were performed in the pure chloride system predicting a reversed sequence of extraction. To verify this experimentally, and in order to perform a systematic study of halide complexation of the group 5 elements, new batch extraction experiments for Nb, Ta, and Pa were performed with the quaternary ammonium salt Aliquat 336 in pure HF, HCl, and HBr solutions. Based on these results, new chromatographic column separations were elaborated to study separately the fluoride and chloride complexation of element 105 with ARCA II. In the system Aliquat 336/HF, after feeding of the activity onto the column in 0.5 M HF, element 105 did not elute in 4 M HF (Pa fraction) but showed a higher distribution coefficient close to that of Nb (and Ta). In the system Aliquat 336/HCl, after feeding onto the column in 10 M HCl, element 105 showed a distribution coefficient in 6 M HCl close to that of Nb establishing an extraction sequence Pa>Nb≥105>Ta which is theoretically predicted by considering the competition between hydrolysis and complex formation.

JO - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics JF - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Y1 - 1999/01/02/Jan1999 Supplement VL - 49 M3 - Article SP - 799 EP - 809 SN - 00114626 AB - The High Flux Isotope Reactor ( HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory ( ORNL) represents an important resource for the production of a wide variety of medical radioisotopes. First beginning operation in 1965, the high thermal neutron flux (2.5×1015 neutrons/cm2/sec at 85 MW) and versatile target irradiation and handling facilities provide the opportunity for production of a wide variety of neutron-rich medical radioisotopes of current interest for therapy. In addition to serving as a key production site for californium-252 and other transuranic elements, important examples of therapeutic radioisotopes which are currently routinely produced in the HFIR for distribution include dysprosium-166 (parent of holmium-166), rhenium-186, tin-117 m and tungsten-188 (parent of rhenium-188). The nine hydraulic tube ( HT) positions in the central high flux region permit the insertion and removal of targets at any time during the operating cycle (22–24 days) and have traditionally represented a major site for production of medical radioisotopes. To increase the irradiation capabilities of the HFIR, special target holders have recently been designed and fabricated which will be installed in the six Peripheral Target Positions ( PTP), which are also located in the high flux region. These positions are only accessible during reactor refueling and will be used for long-term irradiations, such as required for the production of tin-117 m and tungsten-188. Each of the PTP tubes will be capable of housing a maximum of eight HT targets, thus increasing the total maximum number of HT targets from the current nine, to a total of 57. In this paper the therapeutic use of reactor-produced radioisotopes for bone pain palliation and vascular brachytherapy and the therapeutic medical radioisotope production capabilities of the ORNL HFIR are briefly discussed.

Measurements wilh R-l2 inside a horizontal, smooth circular tube is presented. This article describes the experimental procedures used to achieve a step change in the surface temperature with a special valve. The test section consists of a transparent glass tube obserued from outside. The inside surface transient temperature response is measured by a thin layer of choksteric liquid crystals. The color distribution oflhe liquid crysIIJIs is then translated Ihrough a digital color image processing unit into a surface temperature distribution. The local condensing heat transfer coefficients are obtained using a transient heal conduction analysis. Results for stratified flow regime are compared wilh results from the literature. This experimental technique provides a new tool for the measurement of lhe condensing local heal transfer.The technique is applicabk 10 measurements of condensing local heal transfer coefficients inside noncircular passages with plain or enhanced surfaces, which are commonly employed in state-of-me-an and advanced phase-change heal exchangers.

It is shown that the picosecond continuum probe source obtained from nonlinear interaction with H2O/D2O is highly variable and does not permit detection of small changes in absorption /transmission spectra. The dual-beam approach is proposed to allow simultaneous measurement of a sample's properties in both the excited and steady states. As an example, the technique is applied to the picosecond transmission spectrum of light-emitting porous silicon. Photo-induced absorption is observed at a level that could not be detected without the new technique.

JO - Annals of Software Engineering JF - Annals of Software Engineering Y1 - 1999/02// VL - 8 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 53 EP - 84 SN - 10227091 AB - Before software systems are shipped, they are tuned to optimize their field performance. This process is called performance tuning. Performance tuning is used to find the best settings for a set of tunable, or changeable, parameters like buffer space, disk file allocation, main memory partition, I/O priority, process scheduling quantum, etc. Examples of performance measures to be optimized are: query or transaction loss, throughput rate, response time, etc. Improperly tuned systems can create field problems even if there are no software faults in the product. Hence, it is important that software systems be tuned for optimal performance before they are delivered. However, optimal performance tuning is quite complex because of: exponentially many alternatives, unknown functional relationships between parameters and performance measures, stochastically fluctuating system performance, and expensive empirical experiments. For these reasons, tuning is typically practiced as an art and depends heavily on the intuitions of experts. In this paper, we examine a method for tuning which is repeatable and produces consistently superior results across many different applications. This method, based upon Robust Experimental Design, has revolutionized design optimization in hardware systems. The methodology consists of conducting a few carefully chosen experiments and using the associated analysis technology to help extract the maximum possible information for performance optimization. Specifically we give some background on statistical experimental design and demonstrate it on an actual software system that provides network database services which had experienced occasional query losses. Focusing on nine carefully chosen parameters, 12 experiments were conducted. This number of experiments is far fewer and consequently far less costly in time and effort than what would be required for collecting the same amount of information by traditional methods. The selection of the experiments took into account ideas from accelerated life testing and ideas from the Robust Experimental Design. Based on the analysis of this data, new settings for the parameters in software system were implemented. All tests done with the new settings have shown that the query loss problem has been totally controlled.

Indo-European language was uniformly present in Central and Northern Europe, Southeastern Europe, Anatolia, and parts of the Near and Middle East. However the language was not popular in Celtic, Gerantic, and Slavic regions. The popularity of language can also be attributed to climatic oscillations. People tend to move during intense cold and dry phases which results contraction in population that spread wave of linguistic and cultural uniformity across the regions.

We have synthesized and characterized a series of novel N-terminally extended multiply-tyrosinated somatostatin analogs that possess high binding affinity for somatostatin receptors, exhibit biological activity comparable to the native peptide and retain these characteristics after iodination. These analogs can be radio-iodinated to high specific activities. Following radio-iodination, these analogs exhibit minimal radiolysis and may be clinically useful for tumor localization, scanning and therapy.

Official motor vehicle emission inventories estimate that excess emissions during cold-start operation contribute a significant fraction of all hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxide (NO[subx]) emissions from California vehicles. In an effort to verify these estimates under real-world conditions, vehicle emissions were measured in an underground parking garage in Oakland, CA, during March 1997. Hot stabilized emissions were measured as vehicles arrived at the garage in the morning, and cold-start emissions were measured as vehicles exited in the afternoon; the incremental, or excess, emissions associated with vehicle starting were calculated by difference. Composite emissions from ∼135 vehicles were sampled during each of six morning and six afternoon periods. Measured stabilized exhaust emissions were 19 ± 2 g nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC), 223 ± 17 g CO, and 8.6 ± 1.3 g NO[subx] per gal of gasoline consumed. Cold-start emissions of 69 ± 2 g NMHC/gal, 660 ± 15 g CO/gal, and 27.8 ± 1.2 g NO[subx]/gal were measured for vehicles spending an average of ∼ 60 sec in the garage after starting in the afternoon. Using second-by-second emissions data from California's light-duty vehicle surveillance program, average fuel use during cold start was estimated to be ∼ 0.07 gal, and the coldstart period was estimated to last for ∼200 sec. When coldstart emission factors measured in the garage were scaled to represent the full 200-sec cold-start period, incremental start emission factors of 2.1 g NMHC, 16 g CO, and 2.1 g NO[subx] per vehicle start were calculated. These emission factors are lower than those used by California's motor vehicle emission inventory model (MVEI 7G) by 45% for NMHC...

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 1999/03//3/1/99 VL - 18 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1387 EP - 1396 SN - 02614189 AB - UV-induced photoproducts (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, CPDs) in DNA are removed by nucleotide excision repair (NER), and the presence of transcription factors on DNA can restrict the accessibility of NER enzymes. We have investigated the modulation of NER in a gene promoter using the Xenopus transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA)­5S rDNA complex and Xenopus oocyte nuclear extracts. TFIIIA alters CPD formation primarily in the transcribed strand of the 50 bp internal control region (ICR) of 5S rDNA. During NER in vitro, CPD removal is reduced at most sites in both strands of the ICR when TFIIIA is bound. Efficient repair occurs just outside the TFIIIA-binding site (within 10 bp), and in the absence of 5S rRNA transcription. Interestingly, three CPD sites within the ICR [+56, +75 (transcribed strand) and +73 (nontranscribed strand)] are repaired rapidly when TFIIIA is bound, while CPDs within ∼5 bases of these sites are repaired much more slowly. CPDs at these three sites may partially displace TFIIIA, thereby enabling rapid repair. However, TFIIIA is not completely displaced during NER, at least at sites outside the ICR, even though the NER complex could be sterically hindered by TFIIIA. Such inefficient repair of transcription factor binding sites could increase mutation frequency in regulatory regions of genes.

We describe a prototype FACE system currently in operation in forest plots in a maturing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stand in North Carolina, USA. The system uses feedback control technology to control [CO2] in a 26 m diameter forest plot that is over 10 m tall, while monitoring the 3D plot volume to characterize the whole-stand CO2 regime achieved during enrichment. In the second summer season of operation of the FACE system, atmospheric CO2 enrichment was conducted in the forest during all daylight hours for 96.7% of the scheduled running time from 23 May to 14 October with a preset target [CO2] of 550 μmol mol–1, ≈ 200 μmol mol–1 above ambient [CO2]. The system provided spatial and temporal control of [CO2] similar to that reported for open-top chambers over trees, but without enclosing the vegetation. The daily average daytime [CO2] within the upper forest canopy at the centre of the FACE plot was 552 ± 9 μmol mol–1 (mean ± SD). The FACE system maintained 1-minute average [CO2] to within ± 110 μmol mol–1 of the target [CO2] for 92% of the operating time. Deviations of [CO2] outside of this range were short-lived (most lasting < 60 s) and rare, with fewer than 4 excursion events of a minute or longer per day. Acceptable spatial control of [CO2] by the system was achieved, with over 90% of the entire canopy volume within ± 10% of the target [CO2] over the exposure season. CO2 consumption by the FACE system was much higher than for open-top chambers on an absolute basis, but similar to that of open-top chambers and branch bag chambers on a per unit volume basis. CO2 consumption by the FACE system was strongly related to windspeed, averaging 50 g CO2 m–3 h–1 for the stand for an average windspeed of 1.5 m s–1 during summer. The [CO2] control results show that the free-air approach is a tractable way to study long-term and short-term alterations in trace gases, even within entire tall forest ecosystems. The FACE approach permits the study of a wide range of forest stand and ecosystem processes under manipulated [CO2]a that were previously impossible or intractable to study in true forest ecosystems.

The relationship between A and N has been studied extensively at ambient CO2 but much less at elevated CO2. This study was designed to (i) assess whether the A–N relationship was more similar for species within than between community and vegetation types, and (ii) examine how growth at elevated CO2 affects the A–N relationship. Data were obtained for 39 C3 species grown at ambient CO2 and 10 C3 species grown at ambient and elevated CO2. A regression model was applied to each species as well as to species pooled within different community and vegetation types. Cluster analysis of the regression coefficients indicated that species measured at ambient CO2 did not separate into distinct groups matching community or vegetation type. Instead, most community and vegetation types shared the same general parameter space for regression coefficients. Growth at elevated CO2 increased photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency for pines and deciduous trees. When species were pooled by vegetation type, the A–N relationship for deciduous trees expressed on a leaf-mass basis was not altered by elevated CO2, while the intercept increased for pines. When regression coefficients were averaged to give mean responses for different vegetation types, elevated CO2 increased the intercept and the slope for deciduous trees but increased only the intercept for pines. There were no statistical differences between the pines and deciduous trees for the effect of CO2. Generalizations about the effect of elevated CO2 on the A–N relationship, and differences between pines and deciduous trees will be enhanced as more data become available.

Phys. 59, 341 ~1981] for predicting molecular polarizabilities using smeared charges and dipoles. The potential is parametrized using first principles ab initio data for the water dimer. Initial benchmarks of the new model include the investigation of the properties of water clusters (n 52 - 21) and (hexagonal) ice Ih using molecular dynamics simulations. The potential produces energies and nearest-neighbor (H-bonded) oxygen-oxygen distances that agree well with the ab initio results for the small water clusters. The properties of larger clusters with 9-21 water molecules using predicted structures from Wales et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 286, 65 ~1998] were also studied in order to identify trends and convergence of structural and electric properties with cluster size. The simulation of ice Ih produces a lattice energy of 265.19 kJ/mol (expt. 258.9 kJ/mol) with an average dipole moment of 2.849 D. The calculated spectrum for the phonon density of states exhibits features that may correspond to the experimentally measured peaks at 28 and 37 meV. The many body contribution to the total energy is found to be close to 31% for both the water clusters and for ice Ih.

However, many gaps in our knowledge remain that prevent us from fully understanding its evolution and the processes that formed it. The rift should not be studied in isolation, because the Laramide orogeny, uplift, complex magmatism, and extension that have occurred since the Late Cretaceous are all to some extent related.

This makes the light-duty vehicle fleet an appealing target for carbon emissions reductions undertaken in pursuit of satisfying the United States' potential obligations under the Kyoto protocol. Furthermore, the current light-duty vehicle fleet is essentially fully dependent on petroleum for its energy supply, so reductions in greenhouse gases will yield similar reductions in U.S. oil use, an attractive proposition to those concerned about U.S. dependence on petroleum imports. Reducing light-duty greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum use can be accomplished by increasing vehicle energy efficiency, shifting travel to more efficient modes, reducing travel overall (by increasing the price of travel, changing development patterns, or other means), changing fuels, and increasing vehicle occupancy. This article focuses on policies and technologies for increasing vehicle energy efficiency, though policies that raise fuel prices will encourage other physical measures, as well.

This methodology was then applied to two aqueous hazardous waste treatment processes: packed tower aeration and activated sludge (aerobic) biological treatment. The designs achieving 95 percent reliability were compared with those designs based on conventional practice to determine their patterns of conservatism. Scoping-level treatment costs were also related to reliability levels for these treatment processes. The results indicate that the reliability levels for the physical/chemical treatment process (packed tower aeration) based on the deterministic safety factors range from 80 percent to over 99 percent, whereas those for the biological treatment process range from near 0 percent to over 99 percent, depending on the compound evaluated. Increases in reliability per unit increase in treatment costs are most pronounced at lower reliability levels (less than about 80 percent) than at the higher reliability levels (greater than 90 percent, indicating a point of diminishing returns. Additional research focused on process parameters that presently contain large uncertainties may reduce those uncertainties, with attending increases in the reliability levels of the treatment processes.

Minimum degree, a popular and effective greedy ordering scheme, minimizes the number of nonzero entries in the rank-1 update (degree) at each step of the factorization. Alternatively, minimum deficiency minimizes the number of nonzero entries introduced (deficiency) at each step of the factorization. In this paper we develop two new heuristics: modified minimum deficiency (MMDF) and modified multiple minimum degree (MMMD). The former uses a metric similar to deficiency while the latter uses a degree-like metric. Our experiments reveal that on the average, MMDF orderings result in 21% fewer operations to factor than minimum degree; MMMD orderings result in 15% fewer operations to factor than minimum degree. MMMD requires on the average 7–13% more time than minimum degree, while MMDF requires on the average 33–34% more time than minimum degree.

The ABLE method is a block version of the non-Hermitian Lanczos algorithm. There are three innovations. First, an adaptive blocksize scheme cures (near) breakdown and adapts the blocksize to the order of multiple or clustered eigenvalues. Second, stopping criteria are developed that exploit the semiquadratic convergence property of the method. Third, a well-known technique from the Hermitian Lanczos algorithm is generalized to monitor the loss of biorthogonality and maintain semibiorthogonality among the computed Lanczos vectors. Each innovation is theoretically justified. Academic model problems and real application problems are solved to demonstrate the numerical behaviors of the method.

It is a bulge-chasing algorithm like the QR algorithm, but, unlike the QR algorithm, it is well adapted to computing the eigenvalues of the narrow-band, nearly tridiagonal matrices generated by the look-ahead Lanczos process. This paper describes the BR algorithm and gives numerical evidence that it works well in conjunction with the Lanczos process. On the biggest problems run so far, the BR algorithm beats the QR algorithm by a factor of 30–60 in computing time and a factor of over 100 in matrix storage space.

The left-hand matrix has units of capacitance and is analogous to the mass matrix in continuum mechanics. In this letter we point out the interesting fact that for a Cartesian grid the Cholesky decomposition of the capacitance matrix has the same sparsity as the original matrix, i.e. there is no zero-fill during the course of the Cholesky decomposition. Therefore an iterative method using the incomplete Cholesky decomposition as a preconditioner is quite efficient for nearly orthogonal quadrilateral or hexahedral grids.

The sources of information were unpublished data sets, generated mainly from 1990 through 1994, on emissions from volunteer fleets of in-use vehicles in chassis dynamometer and sealed housing for evaporative determination tests, and published chemical mass balance (CMB) source apportionments of HC in roadway tunnels and in urban air. The nontailpipe emissions evaluated comprise running-loss, hot soak, diurnal emissions, and resting-loss emissions. Relations between pressure and purge test failures and actual nontailpipe emissions were also examined. According to the recruited fleet data, nontailpipe emissions exceed tailpipe HC emissions by a wide margin. This is contradicted by real-world ambient and roadway tunnel CMB results, which attribute 65-93% of motor vehicle non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) to tailpipe emissions, and the balance from the nontailpipe. Running-loss emission rates were critically dependent on driving cycle and conditioning. They decreased steeply with increasing vehicle speed, according to the fleet data. They increased with ambient temperature and fuel Reid vapor pressure (RVP) at rates of ∼7%/°F and 46%/psi. Hot soak, diurnal, and resting-loss emission rates all increased with increasing ambient temperatures, at rates in the range of 2.2-4.6%/°F. Hot soak and diurnal emission rates increased with increasing fuel RVP, at rates between 34 and 47%/psi increase in RVP (at 95 °F ambient temperature). Vehicle-to-vehicle variation in HC emission rates was very large in all nontailpipe (and tailpipe) emissions categories. For each emission category, 10% of the vehicles produced ∼50% of the emissions. The dirtiest 10% of the vehicles in any one category, however, were not usually the same vehicles as the dirtiest 10% of the vehicles in any other category, however, were not usually the same vehicles as the...

Despite its known volatility, persistence, and toxicity in the environment, the fate of this Hg has not been widely studied. Using automated flux chambers and atmospheric sampling, we quantified the primary pathways of Hg vapor releases to the atmosphere at two municipal landfill operations in south Florida for eight days in April 1997. These pathways included landfill gas (LFG) releases from passive and active vent systems, passive emissions from landfill surface covers of different ages (including CH[sub4] "hot spots"), and emissions from daily activities at a working face (WF). Hg vapor was released to the atmosphere at readily detectable rates from all sources measured. Emission rates ranged from ∼1 to 20 ng m[sup-2] hr[sup-1] over aged surface covers (generally comparable to background soils), from ∼6 to 2400 ng/hr from LFG vents and flares, and from ∼5 to 60 mg/hr at the WF. In general the fluxes increased from older to newer landfills, from fresh to aged cover, and from passive to active venting systems. Limited data suggest that methyl- and other organo-mercury compounds may also be emitted from these sites, suggesting an important area for future research. We estimate that atmospheric Hg releases from municipal landfill operations in the state of Florida are on the order of 10 kg/yr, or <1% of the estimated total anthropogenic Hg releases to air in this region.

In this article, we present a mesh-smoothing algorithm based on nonsmooth optimization techniques and a scalable implementation of this algorithm. We prove that the parallel algorithm has a provably fast runtime bound and executes correctly for a parallel random access machine (PRAM) computational model. We extend the PRAM algorithm to distributed memory computers and report results for two- and three-dimensional simplicial meshes that demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of this approach for a number of different test cases. We also examine the effect of different architectures on the parallel algorithm and present results for the IBM SP supercomputer and an ATM-connected network of SPARC Ultras.

The implementation we develop differs from other implementations in that we use a two-dimensional block cyclic distribution of the data, we use the Löwner theorem approach to compute orthogonal eigenvectors, and we introduce permutations before the black transformation of each rank-one update in order to make good use of deflation. This algorithm yields the first scalable, portable, and numerically stable parallel divide and conquer eigensolver. Numerical results confirm the effectiveness of our algorithm. We compare performance of the algorithm with that of the QR algorithm and of bisection followed by inverse on an IBM SP2 and a cluster of Pentium PIIs.

A total of 2,853 acute avian and mammalian toxicity values were obtained and the average avian scaling factor included alkaloids, inorganic, organochlorines and drugs. This suggests a scaling factor of 1.2 that could be appropriate for bird inter-species extrapolations for many chemicals.

This article describes a Technology Evaluation Framework (TEF) that integrates eight criteria (technical performance, life cycle cost, process residuals, regulatory feasibility, risk, future use, natural resource damages, and stakeholder concerns) relevant to site-specific technology selection and deployment for voluntary or regulatory agency–mandated cleanups. The TEF provides a basis for systematically comparing innovative and conventional technologies in terms of meeting remediation goals. The completed TEF provides a documented, reproducible evaluation summarized on a rollup sheet, which can be updated as new information becomes available. The results of a pilot application of the TEF at the 317 Area of Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois are reported.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 1999/06// VL - 1 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 231 EP - 241 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - The impact of pollution on soil microbial communities and subsequent bioremediation can be measured quantitatively in situ using direct, non-culture- dependent techniques. Such techniques have advantages over culture-based methods, which often account for less than 1% of the extant microbial community. In 1988, a JP-4 fuel spill contaminated the glacio-fluvial aquifer at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, USA. In this study, lipid biomarker characterization of the bacterial and eukaryotic communities was combined with polymerase chain reaction– denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR–DGGE) analysis of the eubacterial community to evaluate correlation between contaminant (JP-4 fuel) concentration and community structure shifts. Vadose, capillary fringe and saturated zone samples were taken from cores within and up- and down-gradient from the contaminant plume. Lipid biomarker analysis indicated that samples from within the plume contained increased biomass, with large proportions of typically Gram-negative bacteria. Outside the plume, lipid profiles indicated low-biomass microbial communities compared with those within the initial spill site. 16S rDNA sequences derived from DGGE profiles from within the initial spill site suggested dominance of the eubacterial community by a limited number of phylogenetically diverse organisms. Used in tandem with pollutant quantification, these molecular techniques should facilitate significant improvements over current assessment procedures for the determination of remediation end-points.

Height and stem diameter growth of white oak decreased with increasing rainfall acidity, although the height response was confined to the high fertility treatment, and root mass was reduced by pH 3.6 rains as well. Height and diameter growth also declined with increasing acidity in loblolly pine, and shoot and root mass and root length and specific length were reduced in low fertility by pH 3.6 rains. Direct foliar injury increased with increasing acidity in loblolly pine, but pH 3.6 rainfall stimulated mycorrhization of this species. Foliar Ca, Mg, and Cu were reduced in both species by pH 3.6 and pH 4.2 rains as was S by the former. Conversely, the Fe concentration was elevated by pH 3.6 and pH 4.2 rainfall in loblolly pine as was Zn by the former. Foliar Al increased with increasing acidity in both white oak and loblolly pine, a response partially attenuated by high soil fertility. Xylem pressure potential of loblolly pine that had received pH 3.6 rainfall declined below that of other treatments during a simulated drought episode.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 1999/06// VL - 142 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 417 SN - 0028646X AB - Calcium occupies a unique position among plant nutrients both chemically and functionally. Its chemical properties allow it to exist in a wide range of binding states and to serve in both structural and messenger roles. Despite its importance in many plant processes. Ca mobility is low, making Ca uptake and distribution rate a limiting process for many key plant functions. Ca plays an essential role in regulating many physiological processes that influence both growth and responses to environmental stresses. Included among these are: water and solute movement, influenced through effects on membrane structure and stomatal function; cell division and cell wall synthesis; direct or signaling roles in systems involved in plant defense and repair of damage from biotic and abiotic stress; rates of respiratory metabolism and translocation; and structural chemistry and function of woody support tissues. Forest trees, because of their size and age capacity, have been examined for evidence of limitations imposed by the timing and level of Ca supply. Examination of Ca physiology and biogeochemical cycling for forested systems reveals many indications that Ca supply places important limitations on forest structure and function. These limitations are likely to be most significant with older trees, later successional stages, high levels of soil acidity and/or high canopy Ca leaching losses, or under conditions where plant competition is high or transpiration is limited by high humidity or low soil moisture. Evidence of structural and physiological adaptations of forests to limited Ca supply indicators of system dysfunction at many levels under reduced Ca supply; and the positive responses of diverse indicators of forest vitality in liming experiments indicate that Ca is more important to forest function and structure than has generally been recognized. Lack of recognition of CM limitations is due in part to that fact some important plant functions are controlled by changes in very small physiologically active pools within the cytoplasm. and whole-leaf Ca levels may not reflect these limitations. An additional aspect is the fact that Ca availability has declined significantly for many forests in just the past few decades. Additional research on the role of Ca supply in resistance of forests to disease, changes in structural integrity of woody tissues, restrictions on rooting patterns and function, arid uptake of other nutrients, notably N. is needed. Increased understanding of the physiological ecology of Ca supply can be anticipated to provide important insights that will aid in future protection and management of both natural and commercial forest systems.

This first article in a series of three describes the 16-City Study, considers the impact of demographic variables, and concludes that these variables did not explaindifferences in exposure to ETS. We compared 16-City Study concentrations obtained in the workplace to previously reported workplace concentrations and determined that data from this study were representative of current ETS exposure in nonmanufacturing workplaces where smoking occurs. Considering factors other than demographic factors, we found that, not surprisingly, the number of cigarettes observed in the workplace had an impact on exposure concentrations. Finally, we compared people from homes where smoking occurs with people from nonsmoking homes and found that people from smoking homes observed more smoking in the workplace and experienced higher concentrations of ETS-relatedcompounds in the workplace, even when they observed the same number of cigarettes being smoked in the workplace. In two subsequent articles in this series, we discuss relationships between various ETS markers and provide estimates of distributions of doses to nonsmoking workers employed in workplaces where smoking occurs.

In this second of three articles, we discuss the merits of each constituent as a marker for ETS and report pair-wise comparisons of the markers. Neither nicotine nor UVPM were good predictors for RSP. However, nicotine and UVPM were good qualitative predictors of each other. Nicotine wascorrelated with other gas-phase constituents. Comparisons between UVPM and other particulate-phase constituents were performed. Its relation with FPM was excellent, with UVPM approximately 11/2 times FPM. The correlation between UVPM and solanesol was good, but the relationship between the two was not linear. The relation between UVPM and scopoletin was not good, largely because of noise in the scopoletin measures around its limit of detection. We considered the relation between nicotine and saliva cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine. The two were highly correlated on the group level. That is, for each cell (smoking home and work, smoking home but nonsmoking work, and so forth), there was high correlation between average cotinine and 24-hour time-weighted average (TWA) nicotine concentrations. However, on the individual level, the correlations, although significant, were not biologically meaningful. A consideration of cotinine and nicotine or 3-EP on asubset of the study whose only exposure to ETS was exclusively at work or exclusively at home showed that home exposure was a more important source of ETS than work exposure.

This analysis uses data from the 16-City Study collected with personal monitors over the course of one workday in workplaces where smoking occurred. In this article, we describe distributions of ETS chemical concentrations and the characteristics of those distributions (e.g., whether the distribution was log normal for a given constituent) for the workplace exposure. Next, we present population parameters relevant for estimating dose distributions and the methods used for estimating those dose distributions. Finally, we derive distributions of doses ofselected ETS-related constituents obtained in the workplace for people in smoking work environments. Estimating dose distributions provided information beyond the usual point estimate of dose and showed that the preponderance of individuals exposed to ETS in the workplace were exposed at the low end of the dose distribution curve. The resultsof this analysis include estimations of hourly maxima and time-weighted average (TWA) doses of nicotine from workplace exposures to ETS (extrapolated from 1 day to 1 week) and doses derived from modeled lung burdens of ultraviolet-absorbing particulate matter (UVPM) and solanesol resulting from workplace exposures to ETS (extrapolated from 1 day to 1 year).

These methods mimic many fundamental properties of the underlying physical problem including conservation laws, symmetries in the solution, and the nondivergence of particular vector fields (i.e., they are divergence free) and should satisfy a discrete version of the orthogonal decomposition theorem. This theorem plays a fundamental role in the theory of generalized solutions and in the numerical solution of physical models, including the Navier­Stokes equations and in electrodynamics. We are deriving mimetic finite difference approximations of the divergence, gradient, and curl that satisfy discrete analogs of the integral identities satisfied by the differential operators. We first define the natural discrete divergence, gradient, and curl operators based on coordinate invariant definitions, such as Gauss's theorem, for the divergence. Next we use the formal adjoints of these natural operators to derive compatible divergence, gradient, and curl operators with complementary domains and ranges of values. In this paper we prove that these operators satisfy discrete analogs of the orthogonal decomposition theorem and demonstrate how a discrete vector can be decomposed into two orthogonal vectors in a unique way, satisfying a discrete analog of the formula [This symbol cannot be presented in ASCII format] = grad φ + curl [This symbol cannot be presented in ASCII format]. We also present a numerical example to illustrate the numerical procedure and calculate the convergence rate of the method for a spiral vector field.

The specific goal of the planned study is to obtain a precise estimate of butadiene metabolic clearance for each study subject, together with a good characterization of its population variance. We used a two-compartment toxicokinetic model, imbedded in a hierarchical population model of variability, in conjunction with a preliminary set of butadiene kinetic data in humans, as a basis for design optimization. Optimization was performed using Monte Carlo simulations. Candidate designs differed in the number and timing of exhaled air samples to be collected. Simulations indicated that only 10 air samples should be necessary to obtain a coefficient of variation of 15% for the estimated clearance rate, if the timing of those samples is properly chosen. Optimal sampling times were found to closely bracket the end of exposure. This efficient design will allow the recruitment of more subjects in the study, in particular to match prescribed levels of accuracy in the estimate of the population variance of the butadiene metabolic rate constant. The techniques presented here have general applicability to the design of human and animal toxicology studies.

RLD is a mechanical switch constructed using polycrystalline silicon surface microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Polysilicon surface micromachining is a process for manufacturing MEMS, which is based on the manufacturing methods and tool sets used to fabricate integrated electronic circuits. The RLD produced using New Mexico-based Sandia National Laboratories' unique multilevel mechanical polysilicon surface micromachinig technology. The RLD performs two primary functions: code discrimination and energy switching. The RLD contains six decimal-encoded wheels creating a population of one million different codes. Since it is only stored in the mechanical device, discovery of the code is not possible through software operations. After the RLD verifies proper code entry, it mechanically actuates a switching element. Functionally, the RLD provides a one-part-per-million electromechanical combination lock with the shackle function provided by either an optical or electrical switch KW - MICROELECTROMECHANICAL systems KW - INTEGRATED circuits KW - ELECTRONIC circuits KW - MICROMACHINING KW - POLYCRYSTALS KW - NEW Mexico KW - UNITED States N1 - Accession Number: 12513679; Plummer, David W. 1; Email Address: dwplumm@sandia.gov Dalton, Larry J. 2; Email Address: ljdalto@sandia.gov Peter, Frank J. 3; Email Address: fjpeter@sandia.gov; Affiliation: 1: Manager of the Electromechanical Engineering Department at Sandia Naional Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M.. 2: Manager of Sandia National Laboratories'High Integrity Software Systems Engineering Department and High Integrity Systems Programs in Albuquerque, N.

We analyzed the full-fuel-cycle GHG effects of corn-based ethanol using updated information on corn operations in the upper Midwest and existing ethanol production technologies. Information was obtained from representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, faculty of midwestern universities with expertise in corn production and animal feed, and acknowledged authorities in the field of ethanol plant engineering, design, and operations. Cases examined included use of E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline by volume) and E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline). Among key findings is that Midwest-produced ethanol outperforms conventional (current) and reformulated (future) gasoline with respect to energy use and GHG emissions (on a mass emission per travel mile basis). The superiority of the energy and GHG results is well outside the range of model "noise." An important facet of this work has been conducting sensitivity analyses. These analyses let us rank the factors in the corn-to-ethanol cycle that are most important for limiting GHG generation. These rankings could help ensure that efforts to reduce that generation are targeted more effectively.

More than 100 hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons were tentatively identified and quantified. Gasoline-vapor and whole-gasoline profiles could be distinguished from the other profiles by high concentrations of the C[sub5] and C[sub6] saturated hydrocarbons. The vehicle emission profile was similar to the whole-gasoline profile, with the exception of the unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, which were present at higher concentrations in the vehicle emission profile. High levels of the C[sub2]-C[sub4] saturated hydrocarbons, particularly n-butane, were characteristic features of the petroleum refinery emissions. The smelter and cast iron factory emissions were similar to the refinery emissions; however, the levels of benzene and toluene were greater in the former two sources. The LPG and natural gas emissions contained high concentrations of n-butane and ethane, respectively. The NMOC source profiles for Cairo were distinctly different from profiles for U.S. sources, indicating that NMOC source profiles are sensitive to the particular composition of petroleum fuels that are used in a location.

For the special case where the sigmoid is piecewise linear, we prove a slightly stronger result: that computing the optimal weights is NP-Hard. These results parallel that for the one-node pattern recognition problem - that determining the optimal weights for a threshold logic node is also intractable. Our results have important consequences for constructive algorithms that build a regression model one node at a time. It suggests that although such methods are (in principle) capable of producing efficient size representations (Barron, 1993; Jones, 1992), finding such representations may be computationally intractable. These results holds only in the deterministic sense; that is, they do not exclude the possibility that such representations may be found efficiently with high probability. In fact it motivates the use of heuristic or randomized algorithms for this problem.

Deserts are predicted to be extremely responsive to global change because they are stressful environments where small absolute changes in water availability or use represent large proportional changes. Water and carbon dioxide fluxes are inherently coupled in plant growth. No documented global change has been more substantial or more rapid than the increase in atmospheric CO2. Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) technology permits manipulation of CO2 in intact communities without altering factors such as light intensity or quality, humidity or wind. The Nevada Desert FACE Facility (NDFF) consists of three 491 m2 plots in the Mojave Desert receiving 550 μL L–1 CO2, and six ambient plots to assess both CO2 and fan effects. The shrub community was characterized as a Larrea–Ambrosia–Lycium species complex. Data are reported through 12 months of operation.

We have identified nine novel variable number tandemly repeated loci from previously known amplified fragment length polymorphism markers or from the DNA sequence. In combination with the previously known vrrA locus, these markers provide discrimination power to genetically characterize B. anthracis isolates. The variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci are found in both gene coding (genic) and non-coding (non-genic) regions. The genic differences are ‘in frame’ and result in additions or deletion of amino acids to the predicted proteins. Due the rarity of molecular differences, the VNTR changes represent a significant portion of the genetic variation found within B. anthracis. This variation could represent an important adaptive mechanism. Marker similarity and differences among diverse isolates have identified seven major diversity groups that may represent the only world-wide B. anthracis clones. The lineages reconstructed using these data may reflect the dispersal and evolution of this pathogen.

These sequences have been assembled (Sequencher) to generate a circulate pX01 plasmid containing 181 656 bp and a single linear (gapped) pX02 contig containing at least 93·479 bp. Initial annotation suggests that the two plasmids combined contain at least 200 potential open reading frames (ORFs) with < 40% having significant similarity to sequences registered in open databases. Collectively, only 118 566 bp of the pX01 DNA (65%) represent predicted coding regions. This value is similar to published gene densities for other plasmids and is indicative of the larger intergenic spaces in plasmids vs those found in the chromosomes of the parental microbes (85–93% gene density). A 70 kbp region including the toxin genes (cya, lef and pag) is distinct from the remainder of the pX01 sequence: (1) it has a lower gene density (58 vs 70%) than the remaining 111 kbp; (2) it contains all but one of the co-regulated transcriptional fusions identified by transposon mutagenesis (Hoffmaster & Koehler 1997) and (3) it contains a significantly higher proportion of positive BLAST scores (62 vs 20%) for putative ORFs. These data suggest different origins for the two regions of pX01.

The method simply surveys the genome for length and sequence polymorphisms. The AFLP pattern identified can be used for comparison to the genomes of other species. Unlike other methods, it does not rely on analysis of a single genetic locus that may bias the interpretation of results and does not require any prior knowledge of the targeted organism. Moreover, a standard set of reagents can be applied to any species without using species-specific information or molecular probes. We are using AFLP analysis to rapidly identify different bacterial species. A comparison of AFLP profiles generated from a large battery of Bacillus anthracis strains shows very little variability among different isolates (Keim et al. 1997). By contrast, there is a significant difference between AFLP profiles generated for any B. anthracis strain and even the most closely related Bacillus species. Sufficient variability is apparent among all known microbial species to allow phylogenetic analysis based on large numbers of genetically unlinked loci. These striking differences among AFLP profiles allow unambiguous identification of previously identified species and phylogenetic placement of newly characterized isolates relative to known species based on a large number of independent genetic loci. Data generated thus far show that the method provides phylogenetic analyses that are consistent with other widely accepted phylogenetic methods. However, AFLP analysis provides a more detailed analysis of the targets and samples a much larger portion of the genome. Consequently, it provides an inexpensive, rapid means of characterizing microbial isolates to further differentiate among strains and closely related microbial species. Such information cannot be rapidly generated by other means. AFLP sample analysis quickly generates a very large amount of molecular information about microbial genomes. However, this information cannot be analysed rapidly using manual methods. We are developing a large archive of electronic AFLP signatures that is being used to identify isolates collected from medical, veterinary, forensic and environmental samples. We are also developing the computational packages necessary to rapidly and unambiguously analyse the AFLP profiles and conduct a phylogenetic comparison of these data relative to information already in our database. We will use this archive and the associated algorithms to determine the species identity of previously uncharacterized isolates and place them phylogenetically relative to other microbes based on their AFLP signatures. This study provides significant new information about microbes with environmental, veterinary and medical significance. This information can be used in further studies to understand the relationships among these species and the factors that distinguish them from one another. It should also allow the identification of unique factors that contribute to important microbial traits, including pathogenicity and virulence. We are also using AFLP data to identify, isolate and sequence DNA fragments that are unique to particular microbial species and strains. The fragment patterns and sequence information provide insights into the complexity and organization of bacterial genomes relative to one another. They also provide the information necessary for the development of species-specific polymerase chain reaction primers that can be used to interrogate complex samples for the presence of B. anthracis, other microbial pathogens or their remnants.

This model is based on a one-dimensional generalized Langevin equation, and assumes the velocity probability distribution of the turbulent fluid is skewed and spatially homogeneous. This has been shown to be an effective approach to simulating vertical dispersion in the convective boundary layer. We use a form of the Langevin equation that has a linear (in velocity) deterministic acceleration and a random acceleration that is a non-Gaussian, skewed process. For the case of homogeneous fluid velocity statistics, this ’linear-skewed‘ Langevin equation can be integrated explicitly, resulting in an efficient numerical simulation method. Model simulations were tested using cases for which exact, analytic statistical properties of particle velocity are known. Results of these tests show that, for homogeneous turbulence, a linear-skewed Langevin equation model can overcome the difficulties encountered in applying a Langevin equation with a skewed random acceleration. The linear-skewed Langevin equation model results are compared to results of a ’nonlinear-Gaussian‘ Langevin equation model, and show that the linear-skewed model is significantly more efficient.

SN - 00068314 AB - We present a Lagrangian stochastic model of vertical dispersion in the convective boundary layer (CBL). This model is based on a generalized Langevin equation that uses the simplifying assumption that the skewed vertical velocity probability distribution is spatially homogeneous. This approach has been shown to account for two key properties of CBL turbulence associated with large-scale coherent turbulent structures: skewed vertical velocity distributions and long velocity correlation time. A ’linear-skewed‘ form of the generalized Langevin equation is used, which has a linear (in velocity) deterministic acceleration and a skewed random acceleration. ’Reflection‘ boundary conditions for selecting a new velocity for a particle that encounters a boundary were investigated, including alternatives to the standard assumption that the magnitudes of the particle incident and reflected velocities are positively correlated. Model simulations were tested using cases for which exact, analytic statistical properties of particle velocity and position are known, i.e., well-mixed spatial and velocity distributions. Simulations of laboratory experiments of CBL dispersion show that (1) the homogeneous linear-skewed Langevin equation model (as well as an alternative ’nonlinear-Gaussian‘ Langevin equation model) can simulate the important aspects of dispersion in the CBL, and (2) a negatively-correlated-speed reflection boundary condition simulates the observed dispersion of material near the surface in the CBL significantly better than alternative reflection boundary conditions. The homogeneous linear-skewed Langevin equation model has the advantage that it is computationally more efficient than the homogeneous nonlinear-Gaussian Langevin equation model, and considerably more efficient than inhomogeneous Langevin equation models.

Samples of muscle and bone (and viscera in some cases) were analyzed for 3H, 90Sr, 137Cs, totU, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, and 241Am and Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Tl. Most radionuclides, with the exception of 90Sr, in the muscle plus bone portions of fish collected from LANL canyons/RG were not significantly (p<0.05) higher from fish collected upstream (San Ildefonso/background) of LANL. Strontium‐90 in fish muscle plus bone tissue significantly (p<0.05) increases in concentration starting from Los Alamos Canyon, the most upstream confluence (fish contained 3.4E‐02 pCi g‐1 [126E‐02 Bq kg‐1]), to Frijoles Canyon, the most downstream confluence (fish contained 14E‐02 pCi g‐1 [518E‐02 Bq kg‐1]). The differences in 90Sr concentrations in fish collected downstream and upstream (background) of LANL, however, were very small. Based on the average concentrations (±2SD) of radionuclides in fish tissue from the four LANL confluences, the committed effective dose equivalent from the ingestion of 46 lb (21 kg) (maximum ingestion rate per person per year) of fish muscle plus bone, after the subtraction of background, was 0.1 ± 0.1 mrem y‐1 (1.0 ± 1.0 μSv y‐1), and was far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem y‐1 (1000 μSv y‐1). Of the trace elements that were found above the limits of detection (Ba, Cu, and Hg) in fish muscle collected from the confluences of canyons that cross LANL and the RG, none were in significantly higher (p<0.05) concentrations than in muscle of fish collected from background locations.

Also, the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) and the risk of excess cancer fatalities (RECF) to people who ingest muscle and bone from deer and elk collected from LANL lands were estimated. Most radionuclide concentrations in muscle and bone from individual deer (n = 11) and elk (n = 22) collected from LANL lands were either at less than detectable quantities (where the analytical result was smaller than two counting uncertainties) and/or within upper (95%) level background (BG) concentrations. As a group, most radionuclides in muscle and bone of deer and elk from LANL lands were not significantly higher (p<0.10) than in similar tissues from deer (n = 3) and elk (n = 7) collected from BG locations. Also, elk that had been radio collared and tracked for two years and spent an average time of 50% on LANL lands were not significantly different in most radionuclides from road kill elk that have been collected as part of the environmental surveillance program. Overall, the upper (95%) level net CEDEs (the CEDE plus two sigma for each radioisotope minus background) at the most conservative ingestion rate (50 lbs of muscle and 13 lbs of bone) were as follows: deer muscle = 0.22 mrem y‐1 (2.2 μSv y‐1), deer bone = 3.8 mrem y‐1 (38 μSv y‐1), elk muscle = 0.12 mrem y‐1 (1.2 μSv y‐1), and elk bone = 1.7 mrem y‐1 (17 μSv y‐1). All CEDEs were far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection guideline of 100 mrem y‐1 (1000 μSv y‐1), and the highest muscle plus bone net CEDE corresponded to a RECF of 2E‐06, which is far below the Environmental Protection Agency upper level guideline of 1E‐04.

Because sampling these tanks is difficult and expensive, samples have been collected from a single location of the headspaces, based on the supposition that this would provide representative samples. In most tanks, mixing of vapors occurs because of thermally driven convection from heat generated by radioactive decay of the waste. However, in some low-temperature tanks, the ground temperature above the tank may be warmer than the waste, minimizing thermally induced convection, and raising the concern that samples from a single location may not be representative. To resolve this issue, six samples at different vertical and horizontal locations were taken from each of three low-temperature tanks and analyzed for ammonia, water, permanent gases, total non-methane organic compound concentration, and selected organic vapors. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that the tanks did not exhibit significant horizontal or vertical concentration gradients.

We explain the operation of the system and present results from measurement of heavy crudes from Southern California. Measurements on oil samples collected from storage tanks agreed well with analysis of headspace gases in the tanks.

JO - Plant, Cell & Environment JF - Plant, Cell & Environment Y1 - 1999/09// VL - 22 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1109 EP - 1119 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01407791 AB - ABSTRACTPrevious modelling exercises and conceptual arguments have predicted that a reduction in biochemical capacity for photosynthesis (Aarea) at elevated CO2 may be compensated by an increase in mesophyll tissue growth if the total amount of photosynthetic machinery per unit leaf area is maintained (i.e. morphological upregulation). The model prediction was based on modelling photosynthesis as a function of leaf N per unit leaf area (Narea), where Narea = Nmass × LMA. Here, Nmass is percentage leaf N and is used to estimate biochemical capacity and LMA is leaf mass per unit leaf area and is an index of leaf morphology. To assess the relative importance of changes in biochemical capacity versus leaf morphology we need to control for multiple correlations that are known, or that are likely to exist between CO2 concentration, Narea, Nmass, LMA and Aarea. Although this is impractical experimentally, we can control for these correlations statistically using systems of linear multiple-regression equations. We developed a linear model to partition the response of Aarea to elevated CO2 into components representing the independent and interactive effects of changes in indexes of biochemical capacity, leaf morphology and CO2 limitation of photosynthesis. The model was fitted to data from three pine and seven deciduous tree species grown in separate chamber-based field experiments. Photosynthetic enhancement at elevated CO2 due to morphological upregulation was negligible for most species. The response of Aarea in these species was dominated by the reduction in CO2 limitation occurring at higher CO2 concentration. However, some species displayed a significant reduction in potential photosynthesis at elevated CO2 due to an increase in LMA that was independent of any...

Newton­ Krylov methods have proven dependable in solving nonlinear systems while not requiring the explicit formation or storage of the complete Jacobian. However, the standard algorithmic scaling of Krylov methods is nonoptimal, with increasing linear system dimension. This motivates our use of multigrid- based preconditioning. It is demonstrated that a simple multigrid-based preconditioner can effectively limit the growth of Krylov iterations as the dimension of the linear system is increased. Different performance aspects of the proposed algorithm are investigated on three nonlinear, nonsymmetric, boundary value problems. Our goal is to develop a hybrid methodology which has Newton-­Krylov nonlinear convergence properties and multigrid-like linear convergence scaling for large scale simulation.

One potential oxygenate is the aliphatic ether ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE). Our objective was to provide data on the potential toxic effects of ETBE. Male and female Fisher 344 rats and CD-1 mice were exposed to 0 (control), 500, 1750, or 5000 ppm of ETBE for 6 h/day and 5 days/wk over a 13-week period. ETBE exposure had no effect on mortality and body weight with the exception of an increase in body weights of the female rats in the 5000-ppm group. No major changes in clinical pathology parameters were noted for either rats or mice exposed to ETBE for 6 (rats only) or 13 weeks. Liver weights increased with increasing ETBE-exposure concentration for both sexes of rats and mice. Increases in kidney, adrenal, and heart (females only) weights were noted in rats. Degenerative changes in testicular seminiferous tubules were observed in male rats exposed to 1750 and 5000 ppm but were not seen in mice. This testicular lesion has not been reported previously for aliphatic ethers. Increases in the incidence of regenerative foci, rates of renal cell proliferation, and α2u-globulin containing protein droplets were noted in the kidneys of all treated male rats. These lesions are associated with the male rat-specific syndrome of α2u-globulin nephropathy. Increases in the incidence of centrilobular hepatocyte hypertrophy and rates of hepatocyte cell proliferation were seen in the livers of male and female mice in the 5000-ppm group, consistent with a mitogenic response to ETBE. These two target organs for ETBE toxicity, mouse liver and male rat kidney, have also been reported for methyl tertiary butyl ether and unleaded gasoline.

To evaluate the technique, samples of two different types of furnace blacks, two types of graphite, a synthetic diamond and a C70 fullerene also were analyzed. With proper experimental design, the C70 produced a single peak of mass 840 Da, thereby showing the ability of LDMS to remove and singly ionize large intact molecular species from the sample for the purpose of chemical analysis. The LDMS soot analysis showed that each mature soot has a unique chemical fingerprint. A family of fuels (e.g., normal alkanes) produces soot that is similar in appearance when mature and that therefore might be expected to yield similar mass spectra, but it is found instead that each spectrum has unique features that are different for each parent fuel. These initially surprising results point to the need for further study of fuel pyrolysis in flames.

Vehicles were tested as received on chassis dynamometers on the Federal Test Procedure Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and the IM240 driving schedule. Both PM[sub10] and regulated emissions were measured for each phase of the UDDS. For the summer portion of the study, 92 gasoline vehicles, 10 diesel vehicles, and 9 gasoline vehicles with visible smoke emissions were tested once. For the winter, 56 gasoline vehicles, 12 diesel vehicles, and 15 gasoline vehicles with visible smoke were tested twice, once indoors at 60 Fahrenheit and once outdoors at the prevailing temperature. Vehicle model year ranged from 1966 to 1996. Impactor particle size distributions were obtained on a subset of vehicles. Continuous estimates of the particle number emissions were obtained with an electrical aerosol analyzer. This data set is being provided to the Northern Front Range Air Quality Study program and to the State of Colorado and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in updating emissions inventories.

With positron emission tomography (PET), a non-invasive imaging technology that allows measurement of the concentration of positron-labeled compounds that are of physiological and pharmacological relevance, it has become possible to investigate the effects of nicotine in the human brain. These imaging studies have shown that nicotine has very fast pharmacokinetics in the human brain, that it changes cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain metabolism, and that at least some of these effects show acute tolerance. PET studies have also shown that, in addition to nicotine, cigarettes possess other pharmacological actions that may contribute to their reinforcing effects, that cigarettes inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B in the brain, and that this inhibition recovers with cigarette discontinuation. Although the nicotine receptors have not yet been imaged in the living human brain, PET studies in the primate brain have shown very high concentration of receptors in the thalamus and a high rate of blockade by doses of nicotine that approximate plasma levels achieved by humans when smoking cigarettes. However, further studies are required to determine the levels of nicotine receptor occupancies achieved when smoking a cigarette and those required for the nicotine patch to be therapeutically effective, to measure the half-life for MAO inhibition by cigarettes and the mechanisms underlying this inhibition, and to evaluate the effects of smoking on nicotine receptors and on other neurotransmitter systems in the human brain.

Average 24-hr PM[sub10] concentrations over the period of study at the core sites in the city were 75 µg/m³. The 24-hr standard of 150 µg/m³ was exceeded for seven samples taken during the study period; the maximum 24-hr concentration measured was 542 µg/m³. Nearly half of the PM[sub10] was composed of fugitive dust from roadways, construction, and bare land. About 50% of the PM[sub10] consisted of PM[sub2.5], with higher percentages during the morning hours. Organic and black carbon constituted up to half of the PM[sub2.5]. PM concentrations were highest during the early morning and after sunset, when the mixed layers were shallow. Meteorological measurements taken during the field campaign show that on most days air was transported out of the Mexico City basin during the afternoon with little day-to-day carryover.

Performance assessment (PA) for radioactive waste involves many scientific disciplines. Yet, at its core, PA attempts to answer three questions about potential disposal sites: (1) What could occur at the site in the future?, (2) How likely are different occurrences at the site?, and (3) What are the consequences of different occurrences at the site? Thus, PA for radioactive waste disposal can appropriately be viewed as part of the field of risk assessment. The intent of the issue is to give readers a broad perspective on major issues related to PA for radioactive waste disposal and guidance to sources of additional information. To meet this intent, the contributors to the issue were asked to write for a broad audience and to be generous in providing references to help the reader find his or her way into the literature. Performance assessment for radioactive waste disposal is almost always carried out in the context of some regulatory environment. This environment invariably has great influence on any associated PA.

This perspective reviews the common history of scientific concepts for risk assessment developed until the 1950s. Computational tools and techniques developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s to analyze the reliability of nuclear weapon delivery systems were adopted in the early 1970s for probabilistic risk assessment of nuclear power reactors, a technology for which behavior was unknown. In turn, these analyses became an important foundation for performance assessment of nuclear waste disposal in the late 1970s. The evaluation of risk to human health and the environment from chemical hazards is built on methods forassessing the dose response of radionuclides in the 1950s. Despite ashared background, however, societal events, often in the form of legislation, have affected the development path for risk assessment forhuman health, producing dissimilarities between these risk assessments and those for nuclear facilities. An important difference is the regulator's interest in accounting for uncertainty.

As leaf processes are recursively spawned they can be assigned to independent processors in a multicomputer network. However, to achieve good performance the on-line mapping algorithm must maintain load balance, i.e., distribute processes equitably among processors. Additionally, the algorithm itself must be distributed in nature, and process allocation must be completed via message-passing with minimal communication overhead. This paper investigates bounds on the performance of deterministic and randomized algorithms for on-line tree embeddings. In particular, we study trade-offs between computation overhead (load imbalance) and communication overhead (message congestion). We give a simple technique to derive lower bounds on the congestion that any on-line allocation algorithm must incur in order to guarantee load balance. This technique works for both randomized and deterministic algorithms. We prove that the advantage of randomization is limited. Optimal bounds are achieved for several networks, including multidimensional grids and butterflies.

The removed rods are perpendicular to each other.

Alkanethiols, RSH; R=CH3(CH2)n , both neat and in ethanolic solutions, are used to passivate this surface against oxidation, as characterized by Raman scattering and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the adsorbate-covered and bare surfaces. The magnitude of the interfacial band bending is obtained by analysis of Raman scattering from the unscreened longitudinal optical phonon, which arises from the near-surface charge accumulation region. Removing the native oxide with a Br2:CH3OH chemomechanical etch reduces the surface band bending, but atmospheric oxidation increases band bending to its original level over several hours. In contrast, alkanethiol passivation of InAs(100) prevents band bending for periods of up to several weeks.

The objective of the test was to determine the effectiveness of an ambient-temperature, solar-powered photocatalytic oxidation treatment unit for destroying emissions of chlorinated organic compounds from an air stripper. This paper reports test results and discusses applications and limitations of the technology. A 10-standard-cubic-foot-per-minute (SCFM) (28.3 L/min) slip stream of air from an air stripper at Operative Unit 29-31 at McClellan AFB was passed through a reactor that contained a lightweight, perforated, inert support coated with photoactive titanium dioxide. The reactor faced south and was tilted at a 45° angle from vertical so that the light-activated catalyst received most of the available sunlight. An online portable gas chromatograph with two identical columns simultaneously analyzed the volatile organic compounds contained in the reactor inlet and outlet air streams. Summa canister grab samples of the inlet and outlet were also collected and sent to a certified laboratory for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method TO-14 analysis and verification of our field analyses. Three weeks of testing demonstrated that the treatment system's destruction and removal efficiencies (DREs) are greater than 95% at 10 SCFM with UV intensities at or greater than 1.5 milliwatts/square centimeter (mW/cm²). DREs greater than 95% at 20 SCFM were obtained under conditions where UV irradiation measured at or greater than 2 mW/cm². In Sacramento, this provided 6 hours of operation per clear or nearly clear day in April. A solar tracking system could extend operating time. The air stream also contained trace amounts of benzene. We observed no loss of system performance during testing.

In 1997, we sampled 410 aspen seedlings from 23 local populations distributed widely across YNP to determine how genetic diversity varies with elevation, substrate, plant competition, ungulate browsing, and geographical location. We employed 132 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers based on six primers to show genetic relationships within and among the postfire aspen seedling populations. Measures of genetic variation, including estimates of percentage polymorphic loci, expected heterozygosity, and Nei’s FST, indicated that most of the variation occurred within rather than among local populations. There was no indication of geographical differentiation among sampled populations based on hierarchal estimates of Nei’s FST, neighbour-joining, or correlations between genetic distance and geographical distance. Even genetically distant populations shared nearly 90% of the same markers. Within plots, the amount of genetic variation decreased slightly in response to increased percentage vegetative cover, mean seedling basal diameter, and mean seedling height. Geological substrate, density of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) seedlings, browsing intensity, and elevation were not significantly related to levels of genetic variation within the seedling plots. These data suggest that genetic variation and geographical structure among seedling populations may occur over time as the transition from seedling-dominated stands to clone-dominated stands occurs.

Detailed geologic mapping and petrologic studies combined with new U-Pb ages of key units are used to constrain the tectonic evolution of this little-studied region and provide a basis for comparison with the previously studied southeastern uplift. The outcrop consists of layered mafic and felsic gneiss cross-cut by three generations of granitic dikes and sills. The sequence of events as deduced from cross-cutting relations and U-Pb geochronology is as follows: (1) generation of compositional layering (S[sub0]) and parallel biotite foliation (S[sub1]) in the gneisses at 1256 Ma; (2) emplacement of the first set of granitic sills and dikes at 1253 Ma; (3) transposition, isoclinal folding, amphibolite facies metamorphism, and fabric formation (S[sub2]) between 1253 Ma and 1126 Ma; (4) emplacement of pegmatitic granitic dikes at 1126 Ma; (5) open folding and boudinage between 1126 Ma and 1076 Ma; and (6) emplacement of aplitic granitic dikes at 1076 Ma. Four U-Pb ages of titanite, two each from the gneiss and pegmatitic granite, are concordant at ∼ 1114 Ma indicating that the region had been sufficiently hot to reset titanite ages in the gneiss and that the region had cooled below the titanite blocking temperature by this time. The tectonic evolution of this outcrop is remarkably similar to that of other areas of the Llano uplift, suggesting that the entire uplift experienced a similar evolution.

For isotropic diffusion problems, the condition number of the two-level method is bounded independently of the mesh size and the discontinuities in the diffusion coefficient. The curves of discontinuity need not be aligned with the coarse mesh. Indeed, numerical applications with 10 levels of local refinement yield a rapid convergence of the corresponding 10-level, multigrid V-cycle and other multigrid cycles which are more suitable for parallelism even when the discontinuities are invisible on most of the coarse meshes.

This underpins a nonabstract algorithm set in matrix algebra for obtaining the Sylow p-decomposition of a lattice rule. This approach is particularly useful when it is not known whether the form in which the lattice rule is specified is canonical or even repetitive. A new set of necessary and sufficient conditions for recognizing a canonical form is given.

This article reviews what is known about the statistical properties of these pattern metrics and suggests some additional metrics based on island biogeography, percolation theory, hierarchy theory, and economic geography. Assessment applications of this approach have required interpreting the pattern metrics in terms of specific environmental endpoints, such as wildlife and water quality, and research into how to represent synergystic effects of many overlapping sources of stress.

The assessment is done at the scale of EPA regions and builds on data collected for the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) of the EPA. The pilot ReVA is being developed for the U.S. mid-Atlantic region to identify those ecosystems, together with the ecological goods and services they provide, that are most vulnerable to being lost in the next 20 years. The project is currently exploring different conceptual approaches to integrated assessment. In this article, we give an operational approach to estimating ecosystem vulnerability and discuss important issues arising from it. The first issue is estimating vulnerability at the regional scale as opposed to the more familiar local scale. The second issue is integrating information about different sorts of risks in order to prioritize them at the regional scale. The challenge of integration is considerable because of the possibility of synergistic (mutually reinforcing) interactions between different environmental stresses. Synergistic effects are often too poorly known to include, yet potentially too important to ignore. Vulnerability at the regional scale may provide a pragmatic, middle-road approach to this problem by highlighting and characterizing geographic areas that are expected to change the most in the future. The goal is not exact predictions, but a first-cut early warning system to identify and prioritize the risks of undesirable environmental changes over the next few decades.

They interact directly with nucleosomes and are believed to be modulators of chromatin structure. They are also important in V(D)J recombination and in activating a number of regulators of gene expression, including p53, Hox transcription factors and steroid hormone receptors, by increasing their affinity for DNA. The X-ray crystal structure, at 2.2 Å resolution, of the HMG domain of the Drosophila melanogaster protein, HMG-D, bound to DNA provides the first detailed view of a chromosomal HMG domain interacting with linear DNA and reveals the molecular basis of non-sequence-specific DNA recognition. Serl0 forms water-mediated hydrogen bonds to DNA bases, and Val32 with Thr33 partially intercalates the DNA. These two ‘sequence-neutral’ mechanisms of DNA binding substitute for base-specific hydrogen bonds made by equivalent residues of the sequence-specific HMG domain protein, lymphoid enhancer factor-1. The use of multiple intercalations and water-mediated DNA contacts may prove to be generally important mechanisms by which chromosomal proteins bind to DNA in the minor groove.

In MCF-7 cells, p38 kinase activated p53 more effectively than other members of the ras pathway, p53 and p38 kinase exist in the same physical complex, and co-expression of p38 stabilized p53 protein. In vitro, p38 kinase phosphorylated p53 at Ser33 and Ser46, a newly identified site. Mutation of these sites decreased p53-mediated and UV-induced apoptosis, and the reduction correlated with total abrogation of UV-induced phosphorylation on Ser37 and a significant decrease in Serl5 phosphorylation in mutant p53 containing alanine at Ser33 and Ser46. Inhibition of p38 activation after UV irradiation decreased phosphorylation of Ser33, Ser37 and Serl5, and also markedly reduced UV-induced apoptosis in a p53-dependent manner. These results suggest that p38 kinase plays a prominent role in an integrated regulation of N-terminal phosphorylation that regulates p53-mediated apoptosis after UV radiation.

Because monitoring data at release locations are typically sparse, spatial variations in geochemical indicator parameters are often called upon as indirect evidence of biotransformation. These parameters include concentrations of electron acceptors (O2, NO3-, SO>, reduced redox reaction by-products (Fe2+, Mn2+, CH4), as well as bicarbonate alkalinity, pH and Eh. However, background variability in a number of these parameters complicates the task of data interpretation, particularly in the case of small data sets. In this study, correlation analyses are applied to geochemical indicator data at six hydrocarbon groundwater contamination sites in California to identify which parameters are the most reliable indicators. The results of the analyses suggest that the most direct indicators of the local redox environment – Fe2+, Mn2+, CH4, Eh – yield the most consistent evidence of hydrocarbon biotransformation. Indicators which rely largely on mass balance – O2, NO, SO, alkalinity – appear to be less reliable. These findings may provide guidance in both the collection and interpretation of groundwater monitoring data at hydrocarbon contamination sites.

For this reason we have synthesized the elastase recognition sequence Val‐Pro‐Val on both cotton cellulose, and carboxymethylated cellulose cotton (CMC) and prepared chromatography columns of these to examine elastase retention. The tripeptide was synthesized on cotton‐based cellulose fibers both in sequence and as a tripeptide methyl ester. Glycine was employed as a linker of the recognition sequence to the cotton cellulose. Pre‐treatment of cotton cellulose with cellulase improved the substitution level of glycine. The peptidocellulose conjugates were employed as a chromatographic stationary phase to assess elastase retention. The sequence Val‐Pro‐Val‐OMe was amino‐terminally anchored to carboxymethylated cotton and demonstrated retention of up to 58% of elastase when first applied to the column. Higher repetitive retention was demonstrated subsequently. Cotton gauze similarly modified with Val‐Pro‐Val‐Gly cellulose was compared with untreated gauze for reduction of elastase activity in buffered saline. Solutions of elastase that were treated with Val‐Pro‐Val‐Gly cellulose cotton gauze, demonstrated reduced elastase activity. This study demonstrates the use of elastase recognition sequences as sequestering agents of elastase when attached to cotton fibers and constitutes a model for the design of peptidocellulose analogs in dressing fibers for chronic wounds.

Diesel exhaust and fugitive dust emissions from vehicles transporting hazardous shipments lead to increased air pollution, which increases the risk of latent fatalities in the affected population along the transport route. The estimated risk from these vehicle-related sources can often be as large or larger than the estimated risk associated with the material being transported. In this paper, data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Motor Vehicle-Related Air Toxics Study are first used to develop latent cancer fatality estimates per kilometer of travel in rural and urban areas for all diesel truck classes. These unit risk factors are based on studies investigating the carcinogenic nature of diesel exhaust. With the same methodology, the current per-kilometer latent fatality risk factor used in transportation risk assessments for heavy diesel trucks in urban areas is revised and the analysis expanded to provide risk factors for rural areas and all diesel truck classes. These latter fatality estimates may include, but are not limited to, cancer fatalities and are based primarily on the most recent epidemiological data available on mortality rates associated with ambient air PM-10 concentrations.

This paper evaluates the variance in potential dose calculations that can be attributed to the uncetainty in chemical-specific input parameters as well as the variability in exposure factors and landscape parameters. A knowledge of the uncertainty allows us to assess the robustness of a decision based on the toxicity potential; a knowledge of the sources of uncertainty allows us to focus our resources if we want to reduce the uncertainty. The potential dose of 236 chemicals was assessed. The chemicals were grouped by dominant exposure route, and a Monte Carlo analysis was conducted for one representative chemical in each group. The variance is typically one to two orders of magnitude. For comparison, the point estimates in potential dose for 236 chemicals span ten orders of magnitude. Most of the variance in the potential dose is due to chemical-specific input parameters, especially half-lives, although exposure factors such as fish intake and the source of drinking water can be important for chemicals whose dominant exposure is through indirect routes. Landscape characteristics are generally of minor importance.

Tensor methods have been shown to have very good computational performance for small to medium-sized, dense nonlinear least squares problems. In this paper we consider the application of tensor methods to large, sparse nonlinear least squares problems where a sparse factorization of the Jacobian can be stored. This involves an entirely new way of solving the tensor model that is efficient for sparse problems. A number of interesting linear algebraic implementation issues are addressed. The test results of the tensor method applied to a set of sparse nonlinear least squares problems compared with those of the standard Gauss­Newton method reveal that the tensor method is significantly more robust and efficient than the standard Gauss­Newton method.

It can handle PDE coefficients of various types on structured or unstructured grids under one framework. The formulation is general; it can be applied to any dimension. We demonstrate numerically the effectiveness of the multigrid method in two dimensions by applying it to a discontinuous coefficient problem, an oscillatory coefficient problem, and an anisotropic problem. Empirically, the convergence rate is independent of the coefficients of the underlying PDE, in addition to being independent of the mesh size. The proposed method is primarily designed for second-order elliptic PDEs, with possible extensions to other classes of problems such as integral equations.

As in several earlier papers by Bramble, Lazarov, and Pasciak [Math. Comp., 66 (1997), pp. 935–955]; Cai et al. [SIAM J. Numer Anal., 31 (1994), pp. 1785–1799]; Cai, Manteuffel, and McCormick [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 34 (1997), pp. 425–454, 1727–1741]; Chang [SIAM J.

Engrg., 102 (1993), pp. 199–212], the scalar equation is first recast into a first-order system by introducing velocity or flux variables, where some norm is then applied to the residual of this system to create a least-squares functional. We show here that a least-squares principle based on an L2 norm produces optimal discretization error estimates in the H1 norm for all variables in the system. We further show that a least-squares principle based on a combination of L2 and H-1 norms yields optimal discretization error in a corresponding combination of H1 and L2 norms for the variables. Finally, a regularity result for the L2 least-squares formulation and numerical examples for both formulations are given.

In this paper we calculate the numerical dispersion of a vector finite element method for the case of a distorted three-dimensional hexahedral grid. The main result is that the numerical dispersion relation remains second-order accurate as the grid is distorted, although the dispersion becomes quite anisotropic.

In the U.S. and around the globe, nuclear safety and efficiency have improved significantly since 1990. In 1998, unit capacity factor for operating reactors reached record levels. The average U.S. capacity factor in 1998 was 80 percent for about 100 reactors, compared to 58 percent in 1980 and 66 percent in 1990. Despite a reduction in the number of power plants, the U.S. nuclear industry generated nine percent more nuclear electricity in 1999 than in 1998. Average production costs for nuclear energy are now just 1.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kwh), while electricity produced from gas costs 3.4 cents per kwh. Because major, complex technologies take more than half a century to spread around the world, natural gas will share the lead in power generation with nuclear power over the next hundred years. The great advantage of nuclear power is its ability to wrest enormous energy from a small volume of fuel. Nuclear fission, transforming matter directly into energy, is several million times as energetic as chemical burning, which merely breaks chemical bonds.

The conclusions drawn from these analyses are inconsistent with the current widely held "polycadinene" model for the macromolecular structure of these materials. Double bond characteristics observed by one and two dimensional NMR spectroscopy do not match those in the proposed "polycadinene" structure. Based on these observations it is suggested that the proposed "polycadinene" structure for these materials is inadequate and requires revision. Elemental and NMR data also suggest a significant contribution from functionalized monomers.

The combination of materials properties and attributes, such as thermal shock resistance, low atomic number, low neutron capture cross section, and high-temperature capability, make carbon materials uniquely qualified for the nuclear application reported and discussed here. Moreover, the tailorability of carbon-carbon composite materials allows further flexibility when applying these materials in nuclear energy systems. Nuclear environments are particularly hostile. Damaging phenomena such as neutron irradiation, high heat flux, particle erosion, and thermal ablation and oxidation, may be encountered. The response of carbon materials to these phenomena is reviewed.

This factorization depends on a parameter p that specifies the amount of additional memory (in multiples of n, the dimension of the problem) that is available; there is no need to specify a drop tolerance. Our numerical results show that the number of conjugate gradient iterations and the computing time are reduced dramatically for small values of p. We also show that in contrast with drop tolerance strategies, the new approach is more stable in terms of number of iterations and memory requirements.

The vorticity-stream function formulation of these equations is used, and spatially the vorticity and stream functions are expressed as Fourier-Chebyshev expansions. The Poisson and Helmholtz equations which arise from the implicit-explicit time marching scheme are solved as banded systems using a postconditioned spectral τ-method. The polar coordinate singularity is handled by expanding fields radially over the entire diameter using a parity modified Chebyshev series and building partial regularity into the vorticity. The no-slip boundary condition is enforced by transferring one of the two boundary conditions imposed on the stream function onto the vorticity via a solvability constraint. Significant gains in run times were realized by parallelizing the code in message passage interface (MPI).

We hypothesized that by adding information on PM chemical speciation and source apportionment to typical PM epidemiological analysis, we could identify PM sources that cause adverse health effects. The FA/PR method was applied to a merged data set of mortality and extensive PM chemical speciation (including trace metals, sulfate, and extractable organic matter) in New Jersey. Statistically significant associations were found between mortality and several of the FA-derived PM sources, including oil burning, industry, sulfate aerosol, and motor vehicles. The FA/PR method provides new insight into potentially important PM sources related to mortality. For the data set we analyzed, the use of FA/PR to integrate multiple chemical species into source-related PM exposure metrics was found to be a more sensitive tool than the traditional approach using PM mass alone.

We examined photosynthetic and respiratory responses of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) from two portions of the species’ range for evidence of both phenomena in a laboratory study with seedlings. A field study was also conducted to assess the impacts of temperature acclimation on saplings subjected to an imposed temperature manipulation (4 °C above ambient temperature). The two seedling populations exhibited more evidence of physiological acclimation to warming than of ecotypic adaptation, although respiration was less sensitive to short-term warming in the southern population than in the northern population. In both seedling populations, thermal compensation increased photosynthesis by 14% and decreased respiration by 10% in the warm-acclimated groups. Saplings growing in open-top field chambers at ambient temperature and 4 °C above ambient temperature showed evidence of temperature acclimation, but photosynthesis did not increase in response to the 4 °C warming. On the contrary, photosynthetic rates measured at the prevailing chamber temperature throughout three growing seasons were similar, or lower (12% lower on average) in saplings maintained at 4 °C above ambient temperature compared with saplings maintained at ambient temperature. However, the long-term photosynthetic temperature optimum for saplings in the field experiment was higher than it was for seedlings in either the 27 or the 31 °C growth chamber. Respiratory acclimation was also evident in the saplings in the field chambers. Saplings had similar rates of respiration in both temperature treatments, and respiration showed little dependence on prevailing temperature during the growing season. We conclude that photosynthesis and respiration in sugar maple have the potential for physiological acclimation to temperature, but exhibit a low degree of genetic adaptation. Some of the potential for acclimation to a 4 °C increase above a background of naturally fluctuating temperatures may be offset by differences in water relations, and, in the long term, may be obscured by the inherent variability in rates under field conditions. Nevertheless, physiologically based models should incorporate seasonal acclimation to temperature and permit ecotypic differences to influence model outcomes for those species with high genetic differentiation between regions.

During the experiments, CO2 concentration was alternated between 400 and 800 ppm (approximately 40 and 80 Pa of CO2). Data analysis accounted for effects on respiration rate of the normal decline in temperature with time after sunset. The median response to a 40-Pa increase in CO2 was a 1.5% decrease in respiration rate, with responses ranging from a 5.6% inhibition to a 0.4% stimulation. Direct effects of elevated CO2 on respiration were similar among the species. Thus, the response of nocturnal leaf respiration rate to a short-term CO2 increase was small, and of little practical importance to the accuracy of measurements of respiration involving similar changes in CO2 concentration during measurement. These direct respiratory responses of leaves to elevated CO2 would translate into only slight, if any, effects on the carbon balance of temperate deciduous forests in a future atmosphere containing as much as 80 Pa CO2.

The structure consists of two domains, with a novel fold in the N-terminal region and a methyltransferase-like domain in the C-terminal region. Mapping temperature-sensitive mutations found in yeast fibrillarin Nop1 to the Methanococcus homologue structure reveals that many of the mutations cluster in the core of the methyltransferase-like domain.

The significance of these releases was evaluated by calculating the PCB flux (mass per unit time) at different monitoring locations. The flux was calculated from the timeintegrated estimates of the aqueous concentrations of PCB and estimates of the volumetric flow rates of discharges and receiving streams during the deployment period. The DOE discharges accounted for most of the flux of PCB entering the Clinch River from the DOE drainage areas, but these sources constituted only 10% of the flux in the Clinch River about the DOE sources. Principal components analysis was helpful in attributing sources of PCB. In a stream receiving multiple inputs of PCB, congener profiles from upstream sources and discrete discharges were consistent with a mixture of those congener profiles in the downstream receiving water. In another stream with a single upstream source of PCB, changes in PCB flux and congener profiles suggested an apparent steady-state distribution between dissolved PCB and PCB adsorbed to organic matter on the streambed. The flux of dissolved PCB along different stream reaches reflected changes in the sediment organic content. Subtle alterations in congener profiles moving downstream suggested preferential desorption of less chlorinated congeners and sorption of more highly chlorinated congeners to sediment. Time-integrated, flux-based monitoring can be useful across a range of spatial scales for evaluating the significance of point and nonpoint contaminant sources and can help identify and prioritize feasible...

SN - 00298549 AB - Few studies have evaluated elevated CO2 responses of trees in variable light despite its prevalence in forest understories and its potential importance for sapling survival. We studied two shade-tolerant species (Acer rubrum, Cornus florida) and two shade-intolerant species (Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera) growing in the understory of a Pinus taeda plantation under ambient and ambient+200 ppm CO2 in a free air carbon enrichment (FACE) experiment. Photosynthetic and stomatal responses to artificial changes in light intensity were measured on saplings to determine rates of induction gain under saturating light and induction loss under shade. We expected that growth in elevated CO2 would alter photosynthetic responses to variable light in these understory saplings. The results showed that elevated CO2 caused the expected enhancement in steady-state photosynthesis in both high and low light, but did not affect overall stomatal conductance or rates of induction gain in the four species. Induction loss after relatively short shade periods (<6 min) was slower in trees grown in elevated CO2 than in trees grown in ambient CO2 despite similar decreases in stomatal conductance. As a result leaves grown in elevated CO2 that maintained induction well in shade had higher carbon gain during subsequent light flecks than was expected from steady-state light response measurements. Thus, when frequent sunflecks maintain stomatal conductance and photosynthetic induction during the day, enhancements of long-term carbon gain by elevated CO2 could be underestimated by steady-state photosynthetic measures. With respect to species differences, both a tolerant, A. rubrum, and an intolerant species, L. tulipifera, showed rapid induction gain, but A. rubrum also lost induction rapidly (c. 12 min) in shade. These results, as well as those from independent studies in the literature, show that induction dynamics are not closely related to species shade tolerance. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that shade-tolerant species necessarily induce faster in the variable light conditions common in understories. Although our study is the first to examine dynamic photosynthetic responses to variable light in contrasting species in elevated CO2, studies on ecologically diverse species will be required to establish whether shade-tolerant and -intolerant species show different photosynthetic responses in elevated CO2 during sunflecks. We conclude that elevated CO2 affects dynamic gas exchange most strongly via photosynthetic enhancement during induction as well as in the steady state.

Our mesh generation algorithm, called QMG, is a quadtree-based algorithm that can triangulate any polyhedral region including non-convex regions with holes. Furthermore, our algorithm guarantees a bounded aspect ratio triangulation provided that the input domain itself has no sharp angles. Finally, our algorithm is guaranteed never to over-refine the domain, in the sense that the number of simplices produced by QMG is bounded above by a factor times the number produced by any competing algorithm, where the factor depends on the aspect ratio bound satisfied by the competing algorithm. The QMG algorithm has been implemented in C++ and is used as a mesh generator for the finite element method.

These results suggested that alternative means of removing reducing equivalents have been acquired that allow this strain to remove reducing equivalents in the absence of a functional Calvin-Benson-Bassham reductive pentose phosphate pathway. Previously, the proton-reducing activity of the dinitrogenase complex was implicated in helping to maintain redox balance . However, since considerable amounts of CO2 were still fixed in this strain, the complete profile of enzymes involved in alternative CO2 fixation schemes was assessed. A specific and substantial induction of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CO dehydrogenase) synthesis was found in the mutant strain; although none of the other CO2 fixation pathways or enzyme activities were altered. These results suggested that CO dehydrogenase contributes to the photoheterotrophic success of strain I-19. Furthermore, the data implicate interacting and complex regulatory processes required to maintain the proper redox balance of this organism and other nonsulfur purple bacteria.

The molecular pathway by which TMV MP interacts with the host cell is largely unknown. To understand this process better, a cell wall-associated protein that specifically binds the viral MP was purified from tobacco leaf cell walls and identified as pectin methylestorase (PME). In addition to TMV MP, PME is recognized by MPs of turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) and cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). The use of amino acid deletion mutants of TMV MP showed that its domain was necessary and sufficient for association with PME. Deletion of the PME-binding region resulted in inactivation of TMV cell-to-cell movement.

This accumulation process essentially reverses some of the effects responsible for soil organic carbon losses from when the land was converted from perennial vegetation. We discuss the essential elements of what is known about soil organic matter dynamics that may result in enhanced soil carbon sequestration with changes in land-use and soil management. We review literature that reports changes in soil organic carbon after changes in land-use that favour carbon accumulation. This data summary provides a guide to approximate rates of SOC sequestration that are possible with management, and indicates the relative importance of some factors that influence the rates of organic carbon sequestration in soil. There is a large variation in the length of time for and the rate at which carbon may accumulate in soil, related to the productivity of the recovering vegetation, physical and biological conditions in the soil, and the past history of soil organic carbon inputs and physical disturbance. Maximum rates of C accumulation during the early aggrading stage of perennial vegetation growth, while substantial, are usually much less than 100 g C m-2 y-1. Average rates of accumulation are similar for forest or grassland establishment: 33.8 g C m-2 y-1 and 33.2 g C m-2 y-1, respectively. These observed rates of soil organic C accumulation, when combined with the small amount of land area involved, are insufficient to account for a significant fraction of the missing C in the global carbon cycle as accumulating in the soils of formerly agricultural land.

Population structure and genetic variability may represent important factors in a species' ability to adapt to global-scale environmental change without experiencing major alterations in current range limits. Genetic variation and structure in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) were examined across three regions, between two stands within regions, and among four to five open-pollinated families within stands (total N = 547 genotypes) using 58 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Differences within open-pollinated families account for the largest portion of the total variation (29%), while differences among regions represent less than 2% of the total variation. Genetic diversity, as indicated by estimates of percent polymorphic loci, expected heterozygosity, fixation coefficients, and genetic distance, is greatest in the southern region, which consists of populations with the maximum potential risk due to climate change effects. The high level of genetic similarity (greater than 90%) among some genotypes suggests that gene flow is occurring among regions, stands, and families. High levels of genetic variation among families indicate that vegetational models designed to predict species' response to global-scale environmental change may need to consider the degree and hierarchical structure of genetic variation when making large-scale inferences.

The ZPL programming language achieves both goals by building upon an abstract parallel machine and by providing programming constructs that allow the programmer to "see" this underlying machine. This paper describes ZPL and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the language with respect to its goals of performance portability, and programming convenience. In particular we describe ZPL's machine-independent performance model, describe the programming benefits of ZPL's region-based constructs, summarize the compilation benefits of the language's high-level semantics, and summarize empirical evidence that ZPL has achieved both high performance and portability on diverse machines such as the IBM SP-2, Cray T3E, and SGI Power Challenge.

One methyltransferase acts on double-stranded and the other on single-stranded DNA. Two mRNAs are transcribed from the cassette. One, a SigA promoter transcript, includes all three genes; the other includes a truncated form of the second methyltransferase gene (dpnA) and the endonuclease gene. The truncated dpnA, which is translated from the second start codon in the full gene, was shown to produce active enzyme. A promoter reporter plasmid for S. pneumoniae was devised to characterize the promoter for the second mRNA. This transcript was found to depend on a promoter that responded to the induction of competence for genetic transformation. The promoter contains the combox sequence recognized by a SigH-containing RNA polymerase. As part of the competence regulon, the dpnA gene makes a product able to methylate incoming plasmid strands to protect them from the endonuclease and allow plasmid establishment. Its function differs from most genes in the regulon, which are involved in DNA uptake. Comparison of R6 and Rx strains of S. pneumoniae showed the temperature dependence of transformation in R6 to result from temperature sensitivity of the uptake apparatus and not the development of competence.

We conducted a field competition experiment in which Amsinckia seedlings were transplanted into forty 0.64-m2 experimental plots of exotic annual grassland or restored perennial grassland. The perennial grassland plots were restored using mature 3 cm-diameter plants of the native perennial bunchgrass Poa secunda planted in three densities. The exotic annual grassland plots were established in four densities through manual removal of existing plants. Both grass types reduced soil water potential with increasing biomass, but this reduction was not significantly different between grass types. Both grass types significantly reduced the production of Amsinckia inflorescences. At low and intermediate densities (dry biomass per unit area of 20–80 g/m2), the exotic annual grasses reduced Amsinckia inflorescence number to a greater extent than did Poa, although at high densities (>90 g/m2) both grass types reduced the number of Amsinckia inflorescences to the same extent. The response of Amsinckia inflorescence number to Poa biomass was linear, whereas the same response to the annual grass biomass is logarithmic, and appeared to be related to graminoid cover. This may be because of the different growth forms exhibited by the two grass types. Results of this research suggest that restored native perennial grasslands at intermediate densities have a high habitat value for the potential establishment of the native annual A. grandiflora.

SN - 01757598 AB - Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain OFS grew on toluene as a sole source of carbon and energy with a maximum growth rate of 0.011 h-1. Initial reaction products were extracted, derivatized and identified by GC-MS. Oxygen consumption studies indicated that OFS grown on an aliphatic substrate required an induction period before oxidizing toluene. OFS grown on toluene transformed an array of aromatic ground water pollutants including styrene, ethylbenzene and chlorobenzene. Products of these transformations were identified. The sole product of chlorobenzene biotransformation was 4-chlorophenol. Products from toluene oxidation included 3- and 4-methylcatechol as well as benzyl alcohol, p-cresol and cis-toluene dihydrodiol. The identification of these and the products of other aromatic substrate conversions affirm that oxidation occurred on the functional group as well as directly on the aromatic nucleus.

SN - 00068314 AB - A Eulerian-Lagrangian canopy microclimate model was developed with the aim of discerning physical from biophysical controls of CO2 and H2O fluxes. The model couples radiation attenuation with mass, energy, and momentum exchange at different canopy levels. A unique feature of the model is its ability to combine higher order Eulerian closure approaches that compute velocity statistics with Lagrangian scalar dispersion approaches within the canopy volume. Explicit accounting for within-canopy CO2, H2O, and heat storage is resolved by considering non-steadiness in mean scalar concentration and temperature. A seven-day experiment was conducted in August 1998 to investigate whether the proposed model can reproduce temporal evolution of scalar (CO2, H2O and heat) fluxes, sources and sinks, and concentration profiles within and above a uniform 15-year old pine forest. The model reproduced well the measured depth-averaged canopy surface temperature, CO2 and H2O concentration profiles within the canopy volume, CO2 storage flux, net radiation above the canopy, and heat and mass fluxes above the canopy, as well as the velocity statistics near the canopy-atmosphere interface. Implications for scaling measured leaf-level biophysical functions to ecosystem scale are also discussed.

SN - 0364152X AB - ABSTRACT / The US Army manages an extensive program of environmental restoration that is carried out primarily under authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), which establishes response authority for cleanup of inactive waste sites. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulates the management and cleanup of hazardous materials at active hazardous waste facilities. Based on the definitions found in these acts, and corresponding promulgated regulations, environmental media contaminated with chemical warfare materiel (CWM) can be regulated as CERCLA “pollutants or contaminants” but do not appear to be regulated either as CERCLA hazardous substances or RCRA hazardous wastes. In those states that have not included CWM as hazardous materials in their RCRA programs, the RCRA requirements for management of hazardous waste would not strictly apply to any of the CWM. The Army has historically implemented procedures requiring that chemical warfare agents be managed as RCRA hazardous waste regardless of the concentration, physical form, or configuration of the agent. Such application of strict hazardous waste requirements to management of potentially nonhazardous CWM can result in remedial costs well out of proportion to potential human health and environmental benefits. Recent development of chronic toxicity values for the CWM has opened the door for development of cleanup and waste management standards for waste streams or media containing small residual amounts of CWM. Implementation of this health-based approach to management of CWM remediation wastes may, in part, help to reduce potentially unnecessary hazardous waste management costs for the nonhazardous CWM.

In this paper, in two dimensions, uniform asymptotic expansions of the Schwartz kernels of these operators are derived. Also, we derive a uniform asymptotic expansion of the one-way propagator appearing in the series. We focus on designing closed-form representations, valid in the high-frequency limit, taking into account critical scattering-angle phenomena. Our expansion is not limited by propagation angle. In principle, the uniform asymptotic expansion of a kernel follows by matching its asymptotic behaviors away from and near its diagonal. The Bremmer series solver consists of three steps: directional decomposition into up- and downgoing waves, one-way propagation, and interaction of the counter- propagating constituents. Each of these steps is represented here by a kernel for which a uniform asymptotic expansion is found. The associated algorithm provides a fundamental improvement of the parabolic-equation and phase-shift/phase-screen style methods applied in ocean acoustics, integrated optics, and exploration seismology.

All first-order geometric qualities of a structured grid (length, area, volume, angle between sides, aspect ratio, grid alignment) are determined by the Jacobian matrix of the induced mapping between the logical and physical regions. Grids with desirable quality can be generated by requiring the Jacobian matrix or the corresponding metric tensor to have certain properties. Functionals can be obtained by integrating over the logical or physical domain a power of the norm of a matrix derived from the Jacobian matrix. A judicious choice of this derived matrix results in a functional whose minima are mappings with desired features. Many well-known grid generators fit in this framework; for example, the harmonic generator arises when one drives the metric tensor toward the identity. The framework provides insight into what grid qualities these functionals describe. Three new directional control functionals are proposed and tested.

A major challenge to this method is to handle changes in the interface topology. We describe two algorithms, implemented in the front tracking code FronTier, to model dynamic changes in three-dimensional interfaces. The two methods can be combined to give a hybrid method that is superior to each individual method. The success of these algorithms is shown by simulations of Rayleigh­Taylor instability, which is an interfacial instability driven by an acceleration directed across a material interface. Our numerical results are validated by comparing the numerical computation of the velocity of a single rising bubble with an analytic model for the bubble velocity.

In this paper we show that good low-rank approximations can be directly obtained from the Lanczos bidiagonalization process applied to the given matrix without computing any SVD. We also demonstrate that a so-called one-sided reorthogonalization process can be used to maintain an adequate level of orthogonality among the Lanczos vectors and produce accurate low-rank approximations. This technique reduces the computational cost of the Lanczos bidiagonalization process. We illustrate the efficiency and applicability of our algorithm using numerical examples from several applications areas.

I measured midday Anet in the upper canopy of maturing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees in the piedmont region of the southeastern USA on 146 sunny days over 36 months. Concurrent data for leaf conductance and photosynthetic CO2 response curves (Anet–Ci curves) were used to estimate the relative importance of stomatal limitations to CO2 assimilation in the field. In fully expanded current-year and 1-year-old needles, midday light-saturated Anet was constant over much of the growing season (5–6 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1), except during drought periods. During the winter season (November–March), midday Anet of overwintering needles varied in proportion to leaf temperature. Net CO2 assimilation at light saturation occurred when daytime air temperatures exceeded 5–6 °C, as happened on more than 90% of the sunny winter days. In both age classes of foliage, winter carbon assimilation accounted for approximately 15% of the daily carbon assimilation on sunny days throughout the year, and was relatively insensitive to year-to-year differences in temperature during this season. However, strong stomatal limitations to Anet occurred as a result of water stress associated with freezing cycles in winter. During the growing season, drought-induced water stress produced the largest year-to-year differences in seasonal CO2 assimilation on sunny days. Seasonal Anet was more drought sensitive in current-year needles than in 1-year-old needles. Relative stomatal limitations to daily integrated Anet were approximately 40% over the growing season, and summer drought rather than high temperatures had the largest impact on summer Anet and integrated annual CO2 uptake in the upper crown. Despite significant stomatal limitations, a long duration of near-peak Anet in the upper crown, particularly in 1-year-old needles, conferred high seasonal and annual carbon gain.

Few studies, however, have considered whether radial variation in sap velocity and the proportion of sapwood active in water transport are significant sources of uncertainty in the extrapolation process. Therefore, radial profiles of sap velocity were examined as a function of stem diameter and sapwood thickness for yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) trees growing on two adjacent watersheds in eastern Tennessee. The compensation heat pulse velocity technique was used to quantify sap velocity at four equal-area depths in 20 trees that ranged in stem diameter from 15 to 69 cm, and in sapwood thickness from 2.1 to 14.8 cm. Sap velocity was highly dependent on the depth of probe insertion into the sapwood. Rates of sap velocity were greatest for probes located in the two outer sapwood annuli (P1 and P2) and lowest for probes in closest proximity to the heartwood (P3 and P4). Relative sap velocities averaged 0.98 at P1, 0.66 at P2, 0.41 at P3 and 0.35 at P4. Tree-specific sap velocities measured at each of the four probe positions, divided by the maximum sap velocity measured (usually at P1 or P2), indicated that the fraction of sapwood functional in water transport (fS) varied between 0.49 and 0.96. There was no relationship between fS and sapwood thickness, or between fS and stem diameter. The fraction of functional sapwood averaged 0.66 ± 0.13 for trees on which radial profiles were determined. No significant depth-related differences were observed for sapwood density, which averaged 469 kg m−3 across all four probe positions. There was, however, a significant decline in sapwood water content between the two outer probe positions (1.04 versus 0.89 kg kg−1). This difference was not sufficient to account for the observed radial variation in sap velocity. A Monte-Carlo analysis indicated that the standard error in estimated mean fS declined rapidly with increasing sample size. At n = 10, the coefficient of variation in mean fS was 7% and at n = 15 it was slightly less than 5%. These observations indicate that radial variation in sap velocity is an important, albeit often overlooked, source of uncertainty in the scaling process. Failure to recognize that not all sapwood is functional in water transport will introduce systematic bias into estimates of both tree and stand water use. Future studies should devise sampling strategies for assessing radial variation in sap velocity and such strategies should be used to identify the magnitude of this variation in a range of non-, diffuse- and ring-porous trees.

EFFICACY AND TOXICITY OF TETRADENTATE CATECHOLATE AND HYDROXYPYRIDINONATE LIGANDS IN MICE. JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2000/05// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 511 EP - 521 SN - 00179078 AB - Uranium(VI) (UO22+, uranyl) is nephrotoxic. Depending on isotopic composition and dosage, U(VI) is also chemically toxic and carcinogenic in bone. Several ligands containing two, three, or four bidentate catecholate or hydroxypyridinonate metal binding groups, developed for in vivo chelation of other actinides, were found, on evaluation in mice, to be effective for in vivo chelation of U(VI). The most promising ligands contained two bidentate groups per chelator molecule (tetradentate) attached to linear 4- or 5-carbon backbones (4-LI, butylene; 5-LI, pentylene; 5-LIO, diethyl ether). New ligands were then prepared to optimize ligand affinity for U(VI) in vivo and low acute toxicity. Five bidentate binding groups—sulfocatechol [CAM(S)], carboxycatechol [CAM(C)], methylterephthalamide (MeTAM), 1,2-hydroxypyridinone (1,2-HOPO), or 3,2-hydroxypyridinone (Me-3,2-HOPO)—were each attached to two linear backbones (4-LI and 5-LI or 5-LIO). Those ten tetradentate ligands and octadentate 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO), an effective actinide chelator, were evaluated in mice for in vivo chelation of 233U(VI) (injection at 3 min, 1 h, or 24 h or oral administration at 3 min after intravenous injection of 233UO2Cl2) and for acute toxicity (100 μmol kg-1 injected daily for 10 d). The combined efficacy and toxicity screening identified 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO) and 5-LICAM(S) as the most effective low-toxicity agents. They chelate circulating U(VI) efficiently at ligand:uranium molar ratios ≥ 20, remove useful amounts of newly deposited U(VI) from kidney and bone at molar ratios ≥ 100, and reduce kidney U(VI) levels significantly when given orally at molar ratios ≥ 100. 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO) has greater affinity for kidney U(VI) while 5-LICAM(S) has greater affinity for bone U(VI), and a 1:1 mixture (total molar ratio = 91) reduced kidney and bone U(VI) to 15 and 58% of control, respectively—more than an equimolar amount of either ligand alone.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2000/05// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 533 EP - 541 SN - 00179078 AB - The expansion of nuclear power programs in Asia has stimulated interest in the improved modeling of concentrations of tritium in rice, a staple crop grown throughout the far east. Normally, the specific activity model is used to calculate concentrations of tritium in the tissue water of edible plants to assess ingestion dose from chronic releases. However, because rice, like other grains, has much lower water content than most crops, the calculation must also account for organically bound tritium. This paper reviews ways to calculate steady-state concentrations of tritium in rice, including the methods of Canadian and United States regulatory models, and the assumptions behind them. Concentrations in rice and resulting ingestion doses are compared for the various methods, and equations for calculating concentrations are recommended. The regulatory models underestimate doses received from ingestion of rice contaminated with tritium since they do not account explicitly for organically bound tritium. The importance of including organically bound tritium is illustrated in a comparison of doses from rice, leafy vegetables and milk for an Asian diet. Dose factors from tritium for these foods are estimated to be 135, 47, and 20 nSv y-1/(Bq m-3), respectively. Assuming known air concentrations, tritium concentrations in rice, calculated with the recommended equations, are uncertain by less than a factor 2 when tritium concentrations in the rice paddy water are known, and by less than a factor of 2.3 when concentrations in paddy water are unknown.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2000/05// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 542 EP - 554 SN - 00179078 AB - The Mayak Production Association, which began operation in 1948, was the first facility in the former Soviet Union for the production of plutonium. Significant worker and population exposure occurred as a result of failures in the technological processes in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Members of the public were exposed via discharge of about 1017 Bq of liquid wastes into the Techa River during 1949-1956, an explosion in the radioactive waste-storage facility in 1957, and gaseous aerosol releases within the first decades of the facility’s operation. Residents of many villages downstream on the Techa River were exposed via a variety of pathways; the more significant included drinking of water from the river and external gamma exposure due to proximity to sediments and shoreline. The specific aim of this project is to enhance the reconstruction of external and internal radiation doses for individuals in the Extended Techa River Cohort. The purpose of this paper is to present the details of the methods that are being used in this enhanced dose-reconstruction effort and to provide example and representative results of the calculations. The methods of dose assessment currently being developed for the exposed population [termed the Techa River Dosimetry System-2000 (TRDS-2000)], which are a significant improvement on past methods (TRDS-1996), are presented. The new TRDS-2000 doses from the ingestion of radionuclides are substantially higher for the gastrointestinal tract, due to consideration of short-lived radionuclides. The TRDS-2000 doses from external exposure are substantially lower due to improvements in several factors. Assessment of uncertainty and validation of the “new” doses are significant issues currently under investigation.

Part of the challenge is developing a national energy strategy that promotes an adequate energy supply for the United States, while enhancing environmental quality and maintaining U.S. competitiveness in the world economy. To assist in this challenge, we have developed a screening technique to analyze the effectiveness of different proposed emissions reduction strategies. The technique, referred to as the visibility assessment screening technique (VAST), is designed to examine possible impacts on visibility of emission changes of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (i.e., SO[sub2], NO[subx], and VOC) and fine and coarse particulate matter (PM). The influence of relative humidity, natural aerosols, and the chemical interconnections among sulfur and nitrogen components of aerosols in determining the effectiveness of Clean Air Act Amendment and other projected energy-related emissions changes on eastern and western visibility are explored. The effectiveness of these strategies on particulate matter impacts and potentially on ozone is also noted.

JO - Nicotine & Tobacco Research JF - Nicotine & Tobacco Research Y1 - 2000/05// VL - 2 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 141 EP - 148 SN - 14622203 AB - Glutathione depletion, a major effect of cigarette smoke on biological tissues exposed to high concentrations of smoke, substantially slowed the consumption of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBH) in human erythrocytes in vitro, as shown by electron spin resonance (ESR) analyses of the rate of disappearance of extracellular tBH. Glutathione depletion by the reagent 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene induced a structural alteration of intracellular hemoglobin by tBH, which was inferred from an increase in hydrophobicity of erythrocyte proteins. Protein hydrophobicity was analyzed with a new ESR assay comprising detection of an increased binding of both anionic and cationic amphiphilic paramagnetic probes in membrane-depleted hemolysates. An increased affinity of oxidant-damaged proteins for amphiphilic probes was also observed in myoglobin and in protein fractions of erythrocytes treated with tBH subsequent to hemolysis. Smoke exposure enhanced the formation of reactive free radicals from tBH by chelated iron and ascorbate. Reactive radical formation, as monitored by spin-trapping methods, was substantially prolonged in erythrocyte suspensions that had been exposed to cigarette smoke. The results of this study suggest that the susceptibility of cells to peroxide-mediated damage, including damage associated with iron-mediated free radical production, is increased after exposure to high concentrations of cigarette smoke.

Anisotropic mesh transformation is used to generate asymptotically optimally efficient meshes for piecewise linear interpolation over triangles and bilinear interpolation over quadrilaterals. For approximating a convex function, although bilinear quadrilaterals are more efficient, linear triangles are more accurate and may be preferred in finite element computations; whereas for saddle-shaped functions, quadrilaterals may offer a higher-order approximation on a well-designed mesh. A surprising finding is different grid orientations may yield an order of magnitude improvement in approximation accuracy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing is the property of Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The perturbation parameters δ and ε are arbitrarily small positive and independent; when they approach 0, they satisfy the asymptotic order relation δ = Os(e-a/ε) for some constant a ∈ (0,1). The solutions of these convection-dominated viscous conservation laws exhibit a transition layer in the interior of the domain, whose position as t → ∞ is supersensitive to the boundary perturbation. Algorithms are presented for the computation of the position of the transition layer at steady state. The algorithms generalize to viscous conservation laws with a convex nonlinearity and are scalable in a parallel computing environment.

There was extensive variability in photosynthetic capacity as a result of vertical canopy position, species type, leaf age and drought. Photosynthetic capacity was greater in oaks than in maples and greater in the overstory than in the understory. Parameter Vcmax was maximal early in the season but declined slowly throughout most of the summer, and then more rapidly during senescence. There was also an apparent decline during drought in some trees. Variability in Vcmax as a result of species or vertical canopy gradients was described well by changes in leaf nitrogen per unit area (Na). However, temporal changes in Vcmax were often poorly correlated with leaf nitrogen, especially in spring and summer and during drought. This poor correlation may be the result of a seasonally dependent fractional allocation of leaf nitrogen to Rubisco; however, we could not discount Rubisco inactivation, patchy stomatal closure or changes in mesophyll resistance. Consequently, when a single annual regression equation of Vcmax versus Na was used for this site, there were substantial errors in the temporal patterns in Vcmax that will inevitably result in modeling errors.

SN - 01676369 AB - Two cage designs and fingernail clams (Sphaerium fabale) were evaluated for their suitability for use in in situ bioassays to assess the ecological condition of a stream and predict ecological recovery potential. One design (referred to as tray design) was a modified plastic tray about one-fourth full of small gravels and covered with 1 mm fiberglass mesh. The second design (referred to as tube-plates) consisted of short plexiglass tubes about one-third full of small gravels and attached horizontally to a plexiglass plate. One end of each tube faced into the current; both ends were covered with mesh. Cages containing clams were deployed at reference and impacted (test) sites for periods of 70 to 135 d. Growth and survival were the primary endpoints evaluated, but the tube-plates allowed isolation of individual clams so that natality also could be evaluated as an endpoint. Results of benthic macroinvertebrate surveys, performed for another study, were included to help validate bioassay results. Both cage designs yielded good quantitative, site-specific results for clam survival and growth; results for natality, though, were less conclusive. Clam survival and growth results were in good general agreement with the results for the benthic macroinvertebrate community surveys. At a site where the macroinvertebrate community was the most depauperate, clam mortality was always rapid. At a site where the condition of the macroinvertebrate community was only slightly less impacted than the most impacted site, clam growth was almost always significantly lower than at reference sites. Survival of clams was significantly reduced in <25 d at this site in some trials, but in other trials there was little mortality. At a minimally impacted site, clam survival was similar to that found at reference sites, and differences in clam growth were not detectable until after 40 to 50 d of exposure. The tube-plate design was easier to use, allowed more flexibility in selection of response parameters, and required less handling time of test animals, thus, this was the preferred design. Our results demonstrated that either in situ bioassay design can be used to augment monitoring and assessment programs. Their use as a predictor of ecological recovery, however, requires further evaluation.

This approach clearly ignores any potential long-term memory of the model ocean to past climatic conditions. Here we examine the validity of this approach through the 6000-year integration of a coupled atmosphere--ocean sea-ice model. The coupled model is initially spun-up with atmospheric CO2 concentrations and orbital parameters applicable for 6KBP. The model is then integrated forward in time to 2100. Results from this transient coupled model simulation are compared with the results from two additional simulations, in which the model is spun up with perpetual 1850 (preindustrial) and 1998 (present-day) atmospheric CO2 concentrations and orbital parameters. This comparison leads to substantial differences between the equilibrium climatologies and the transient simulation, even at 1850 (in weakly ventilated regions), prior to any significant changes in atmospheric CO2. When compared to the present-day equilibrium climatology, differences are very large: the global mean surface air and sea surface temperatures are ∼0.5°C and ∼0.4°C colder, respectively, deep ocean temperatures are substantially cooler, Southern Hemisphere sea-ice cover is 38% larger, and the North Atlantic conveyor 16% weaker in the transient case. These differences are due to the long timescale memory of the deep ocean to climatic conditions which prevailed throughout the late Holocene, as well as to its large thermal inertia. It is also demonstrated that a 'cold start' global warming simulation (one that starts from a 1998 equilibrium climatology) underestimates the global temperature increase at 2100 by ∼10%. Our results question the accuracy of current techniques for climate model evaluation and underline the importance of using paleoclimatic simulations in parallel with present-day simulations in this evaluation process.

Cette méthode ignore tout souvenir potentiel à long terme du modèle océanique pour les conditions climatiques du passé. Ici, nous examinons la justesse de cette méthode pour une intégration de 6 000 années d'un modèle avec un couplage atmosphère/océan/glace marine. Le modèle couplé est initialement amené à l'équilibre avec des concentrations atmosphériques du CO2 et des paramètres orbitaux applicables pour une période remontant à 6000 années avant Jésus-Christ. Le modèle est alors intégré vers l'avant jusqu'à l'an 2100. Les résultats de la simulation transitoire du modèle couplé sont comparés avec ceux de deux simulations additionnelles pour lesquelles le modèle est amené à l'équilibre avec des paramètres orbitaux et des concentrations atmosphériques du CO2 correspondants à l'an 1850 (période préindustrielle) en permanence et à l'an 1998 (période actuelle). Cette comparaison conduit à des différences substantielles entre les climats à l'équilibre et la simulation transitoire, même en l'an 1850 (dans des régions faiblement ventilées), avant tout changement significatif du CO2. Lorsque comparées au climat d'équilibre actuel, les différences sont très grandes : la moyenne à l'échelle du globe de la température de l'air en surface et de la température de la surface de la mer est plus froide d'environ 0,5°C et 0,4°6; respectivement ; les températures en eau profonde sont substantiellement plus fraîches ; la couverture de la glace marine sur l'hémisphère sud est 38 % plus grande ; et la circulation de l'Atlantique Nord est 16 % plus faible dans le cas transitoire. Ces différences sont dues au souvenir a long terme de la mer profonde pour les conditions climatiques qui ont prévalu jusqu'à la période de l'holocène dernier, et ainsi qu'à sa grande inertie thermique. Il est aussi démontré qu'un «démarrage à froid» lors d'une simulation du réchauffement du globe (celle qui commence avec le climat d'équilibre de 1998) sous-estime l'augmentation de la température du globe en l'an 2100 par environ 10 %. Nos résultats nous portent à s'interroger sur la précision des techniques actuelles pour la vérification des modèles climatiques et à souligner l'importance de l'utilisation de simulations paléoclimatiques en parallèle avec des simulations actuelles dans ce processus de vérification.

This approach assumes that all students collaborate in similar ways and that presentday technology is sufficient to accommodate all collaboration forms. This view is superficial and limiting. Students collaborate in different ways at different levels on different learning activities. A more detailed articulation of collaboration in learning is crucial to understanding and extending the pedagogical capabilities and usefulness of collaborative technologies. A model is presented for a more finely articulated form of analysis that enumerates types of collaborative learning activities and evaluates how these activities may be supported through different design options. The analysis is based on actual classroom scenarios and the collaboration requirements that emerge from them. The authors have successfully applied this analysis model in the design of a computer-based collaborative learning environment for science education.

SN - 1432847X AB - A sustainable world has often been assumed to be a world in which climate change will be dealt with automatically. But even in a future which emphasizes sustainability, there will still be limited resources and the need to balance competing demands on these resources. As the list of objectives for a sustainable world is quite long, climate objectives will need to compete with many other policy goals for resources. So it is of relevance to understand what the climatic outcomes of a sustainable world might be, what additional options to control emissions might be in place in this world, and how the costs might vary as additional policies are implemented, or assumptions about critical determinants of emissions vary. In this analysis, we focus on how a generic carbon tax varies as alternative assumptions about energy demand, the effectiveness of carbon sequestration, and climate goals are made. The result that emerges is that uncertainty is pervasive in the climate mitigation problem, and that despite the political difficulties of revisiting decisions on a regular basis, there is no way out of the need for adaptive policies which require constant reassessment of the goals and the effectiveness of the policies in place to reach these goals.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2000/06// VL - 2 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 298 EP - 309 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - Emissions of N2O from cover soils of both abandoned (> 30 years) and active landfills greatly exceed the maximum fluxes previously reported for tropical soils, suggesting high microbial activities for N2O production. Low soil matrix potentials (< -0.7 MPa) indicate that nitrification was the most likely mechanism of N2O formation during most of the time of sampling. Soil moisture had a strong influence on N2O emissions. The production of N2O was stimulated by as much as 20 times during laboratory incubations, when moisture was increased from -2.0 MPa to -0.6 MPa. Additional evidence from incubation experiments and δ13C analyses of fatty acids (18:1) diagnostic of methanotrophs suggests that N2O is formed in these soils by nitrification via methanotrophic bacteria. In a NH3(g)-amended landfill soil, the rate of N2O production was significantly increased when incubated with 100 ppmv methane compared with 1.8 ppmv (atmospheric) methane. Preincubation of a landfill soil with 1% CH4 for 2 weeks resulted in higher rates of N2O production when subsequently amended with NH3(g) relative to a control soil preincubated without CH4. At one location, at the soil depth (9–16 cm) of maximum methane consumption and N2O production, we observe elevated concentrations of organic carbon and nitrogen and distinct minima in δ15N (+1.0‰) and δ13C (-33.8‰) values for organic nitrogen and organic carbon respectively. A δ13C value of -39.3‰ was measured for 18:1 carbon fatty acids in this soil, diagnostic of type II methanotrophs. The low δ15N value for organic nitrogen is consistent with N2 fixation by type II methanotrophs. These observations all point to a methanotrophic origin for the organic matter at this depth. The...

SN - 13846175 AB - This paper studies problems related to spatial data handling in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and it investigates solution approaches. The discussion focuses on three areas: (1) data management and processing, (2) dynamic data integration, and (3) data exchange and communications. For data management and processing, the paper considers the approach of the combined use of GIS and database management systems (DBMS). The framework under which GIS and DBMS are integrated and the interoperability requirements related to this framework are discussed. Unified location referencing systems, location referencing message specification, and ITS datum are major strategies proposed to address problems arising from dynamic data integration in ITS applications. The paper provides a review on the research associated with the development of these strategies and recommends the use of reference maps in places where data collection or reconciliation efforts can be coordinated. To facilitate data exchange and communications, the paper investigates the use of data dictionaries, data coding, and data models. Key issues related to their development are identified, and potential approaches to address these issues are suggested.

This category includes all of the presently known high-temperature superconductors, plus many others which are or have been prominent in basic superconductivity research. In a survey these materials were shown to share many characteristic features, electronic properties which are anomalous from the standpoint of BCS and strong-coupling (Eliashberg) systematics, and also distinctive features in the crystal chemistry. It is now argued that these characteristic features are consistent with and indeed suggestive of a valence-fluctuation pairing mechanism developed for the cuprate superconductors. The explanation is reasonably straightforward, and the match between the expected and the observed properties is remarkably extensive. The crystal chemistry aspects are seen here as enabling features, that is, features which are necessary in order to justify adequately an Anderson-lattice form of model Hamiltonian, and to provide a suitable parameter regime.

In the Swiss Free Air CO2 Enrichment experiment the source-sink ratio is (i) increased by elevated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), (ii) decreased by enhanced carbon use under high N fertilization, and (iii) gradually increased during regrowth after defoliation. Since sucrose synthesis plays a central role in leaf carbohydrate metabolism in this fructan-accumulating species, we investigated how sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) responds to the differing assimilatory carbon fluxes and source-sink ratios in the field. Assimilatory carbon flux, as estimated by leaf gas exchange, strongly depended on pCO2. Surprisingly, the SPS content per leaf area did not increase with pCO2, but increased with N fertilization. During later regrowth, when a dense canopy had formed, the SPS content decreased; in particular, SPS was decreased at high N under elevated pCO2. Further, the higher assimilatory carbon flux through SPS at elevated pCO2 was accompanied by a higher activation state of SPS. The SPS content correlated very strongly with the ratio of free sucrose to free amino acid in leaves, which represents the carbon source-sink ratio. Hence, SPS content in L. perenne appears to be regulated by the current, strongly nitrogen-dependent, source-sink relation.

Therefore, analyses have only been possible in a geographically broad or approximate manner. The advent of geographic information systems and development of software enhancements at Sandia National Laboratories have made kilometer-by-kilometer analysis of populations tallied by U.S. Census blocks along entire routes practicable. Tabulations of total or racially/ethnically distinct populations close to a route, its alternatives, or the broader surrounding area, can then be compared and differences evaluated statistically. This article presents methods of comparing populations and their racial/ethnic compositions using simple tabulations, histograms, and chi-square tests for statistical significance of differences found.

Y1 - 2000/06// VL - 30 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 371 EP - 396 SN - 03063127 AB - This paper compares the argumentative practices of the English and French scientific communities from the origin of the scientific journal in 1665 up to 1700. To that end, we ask a uniform set of questions related to argumentative practice in a large sample of articles randomly drawn from the three pre-eminent scientific journals of this period: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Journal des Sça vans and Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences. The results suggest an interesting link between socio-political structures and their influence on early scientific societies, and the articles in their fledgling publications. In particular, the early professionalization of French science through the Académie Royale led to a heightened emphasis on features familiar in 20th-century practice: quantification, mathematical and mechanical explanations for acquired facts, visual representations of facts and their explanations, and use of observations and experimental results as stepping stones to theory. This social arrangement led as well to a narrower view of what constituted acceptable subject matter. Despite these differences, there are also enough similarities in English and French communicative practices to suggest the beginnings of an international scientific community.

SN - 00496979 AB - A field study was conducted during the summer of 1995 to gain a better understanding of the causes of nitrate (NO3-N) leaching and ongoing changes in soil nitrogen (N) availability in high-elevation (1524–2000 m) spruce (Picea rubens) and fir (Abies fraseri) forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee and North Carolina, U.S.A. Indicators of soil N availability (total soil N concentrations, extractable NH4-N, extractable NO3-N, and C/N ratios) were measured in Oa and A horizons at 33 study plots. Dynamic measures included potential net soil N mineralization determined in 12-week aerobic laboratory incubations at 22 °C. Potential net nitrification in the A horizon was correlated (r = +0.83, P < 0.001) with total soil N concentrations. Most measures of soil N availability did not exhibit significant trends with elevation, but there were topographic differences. Potential net soil N mineralization and net nitrification in the A horizon were higher in coves than on ridges. Relative amounts of particulate and organomineral soil organic matter influenced potential net N mineralization and nitrification in the A horizon. Calculations indicate that soil N availability and NO3-N leaching in high-elevation spruce and fir forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will increase in response to regional warming.

The path was led by decay studies with recoil mass separators equipped with double-sided Si strip detectors. The properties of many proton decaying states were deduced, which triggered renewed theoretical interest in the process of proton decay. The decay experiments were closely followed by in-beam 7-ray studies which extended our knowledge of high-spin states of proton emitters. The unparalleled selectivity of the Recoil-Decay Tagging method combined with the high efficiency of large arrays of Ge detectors allowed, despite small cross sections and overwhelming background from strong reaction channels, the observation of excited states in several proton emitters. Recently, in-beam studies of the deformed proton emitters [sup141]Ho and [sup131]Eu have been performed with the GAMMASPHERE array of Ge detectors and the Fragment Mass Analyzer at ATLAS. Evidence was found for rotational bands in [sup141]Ho and [sup131]Eu. The deformations and the single-particle configurations proposed for the proton emitting states from the earlier proton-decay studies were confronted with the assignments deduced based on the in-beam data. It should be noted that the cross section for populating [sup131]Eu is only about 50 nb, and it represents the weakest channel ever studied in an in-beam experiment [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The code CCGAMOW calculates resonant Nilsson orbitals using the adiabatic approximation in which the energies of the ground and excited rotational states of the daughter nucleus are degenerate. In the code NONADI this approximation is lifted and the rotational degree of freedom of the core and the Coriolis coupling in the parent nucleus are taken into account.

We follow the same approach in order to propagate the wave-packet in time with the ultimate goal of extracting the momentum-distribution of emitted particles.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2000/06/03/ VL - 518 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 297 EP - 306 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Great progress has been made in the last 20 years in the study of proton emission from unstable nuclei, but the prospects for additional strides in the next several years are bright. The present main limitations on the study of proton radioactivity are related to the inability to produce copious quantities of nuclides beyond the proton drip line, and the difficulty of measuring proton radioactivity of a mass-separated nucleus in the first few microseconds of its existence. At the Holifield Facility we will attack the second of these limitations by using new signal processing CAMAC modules DGF-4C. Digitizing of the preamplifier signals should enable the analysis of a proton decay occurring at times even less than 1 microsecond after an implant in a strip detector. In the same process, the threshold energy at which we can make measurements will be lowered. These two things will hopefully enable the measurement of lower-energy, but faster decays of isotopes in the [sup100]Sn region and below. For the latter region, the proton decays crucial for a rp-process scenario are of particular interest (e.g. [sup69]Br decay). Secondly, for very short-lived species, we plan to make measurements (without residue separation) at points much closer to the target, thus reducing the flight time between the target and detector. As more intense radioactive beams become available, eg. [sup56]Ni, we will utilize these to produce more neutron-deficient nuclides by use of colder reactions than is possible with stable beams. In some cases where delayed proton emitters are present in the same isobaric chain, the use of the cold reactions with radioactive beams can provide purer samples of the isotope of interest, with a reduction in background from the delayed proton emitters in the same mass chain [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

SN - 01676369 AB - Using a new set of landscape indicator data generated by the U.S.EPA, and a comprehensive breeding bird database from the National Breeding Bird Survey, we evaluated associations between breeding bird richness and landscape characteristics across the entire mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We evaluated how these relationships varied among different groupings (guilds) of birds based on functional, structural, and compositional aspects of individual species demographics. Forest edge was by far the most important landscape attribute affecting the richness of the lumped specialist and generalist guilds; specialist species richness was negatively associated with forest edge and generalist richness was positively associated with forest edge. Landscape variables (indicators) explained a greater proportion of specialist species richness than the generalist guild (46% and 31%, respectively). The lower value in generalists may reflect finer-scale distributions of open habitat that go undetected by the Landsat satellite, open habitats created by roads (the areas from which breeding bird data are obtained), and the lumping of a wide variety of species into the generalist category. A further breakdown of species into 16 guilds showed considerable variation in the response of breeding birds to landscape conditions; forest obligate species had the strongest association with landscape indicators measured in this study (55% of the total variation explained) and forest generalists and open ground nesters the lowest (17% of the total variation explained). The variable response of guild species richness to landscape pattern suggests that one must consider species' demographics when assessing the consequences of landscape change on breeding birds.

Stomatal and non-stomatal contributions to decreases in assimilation resulting from leaf age and drought were quantified relative to the maximum rates obtained early in the season at optimal soil water contents. Although carbon assimilation, stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity (Vcmax) decreased with leaf age, decreases in Vcmax accounted for about 75% of the leaf-age related reduction in light-saturated assimilation rates, with a secondary role for stomatal conductance (around 25%). However, when considered independently from leaf age, the drought response was dominated by stomatal limitations, accounting for about 75% of the total limitation. Some of the analytical difficulties associated with computing limitation partitioning are discussed, including path dependence, patchy stomatal closure and diffusion in the mesophyll. Although these considerations may introduce errors in our estimates, our analysis establishes some reasonable boundaries on relative limitations and shows differences between drought and non-drought years. Estimating seasonal limitations under natural conditions, as shown in this study, provides a useful basis for comparing limitation processes between years and species.

Respiration is also needed—mainly as a supplier of ATP—to maintain existing biomass in a functional state. As a result, quantifying links between respiration, growth, and maintenance are needed to assess potential plant productivity, to understand plant responses to environmental factors, and as the basis of cost-benefit analyses of alternative uses of photosynthate. Beginning 30 years ago, and continuing for about 5 years, rapid advances were made in understanding and quantifying relationships between respiration and the processes it supports. Progress has continued since then, though often as refinements rather than novel advances. The simplest framework (i.e. paradigm) for relating respiration to other processes divides respiration into growth and maintenance fractions. This often involves a combination of empiricism and mechanism. A three-component framework (growth, maintenance and wastage) has also been considered, although quantifying wastage (theoretically or empirically) remains problematic. The more general and flexible framework, called the general paradigm(GP, herein), relates respiration to any number of individual processes that it supports. The most important processes (from C and energy balance perspectives) identified to date that require respiration are: biosynthesis of new structural biomass, translocation of photosynthate from sources to sinks, uptake of ions from the soil solution, assimilation of N (including N2) and S into organic compounds, protein turnover, and cellular ion-gradient maintenance. In addition, some part of respiration may be associated with wastage (e.g. futile cycles and mitochondrial electron transport uncoupled from oxidative phosphorylation). Most importantly, the GP can (semi-)mechanistically relate respiration to underlying physiology and biochemistry. The GP is more complicated than other approaches to describing or modelling respiration because it is more realistic, complete and mechanistic. This review describes a history of the GP and its present state. Future research questions are suggested.

We define code to be aged or decayed if its structure makes it unnecessarily difficult to understand or change and we measure the extent of decay by counting the number of faults in code in a period of time. Using change management data from a very large, long-lived software system, we explore the extent to which measurements from the change history are successful in predicting the distribution over modules of these incidences of faults. In general, process measures based on the change history are more useful in predicting fault rates than product metrics of the code: For instance, the number of times code has been changed is a better indication of how many faults it will contain than is its length. We also compare the fault rates of code of various ages, finding that if a module is, on the average, a year older than an otherwise similar module, the older module will have roughly a third fewer faults. Our most successful model measures the fault potential of a module as the sum of contributions from all of the times the module has been changed, with large, recent changes receiving the most weight.

Specifically, the system monitors the paper slurry as it exits the headbox and alerts the operators of any event (e.g., streaks) that disrupts the otherwise homogeneous background. These events affect crucial product properties such as formation. A poor formation results in thick and thin spots on the sheet and impacts its strength and printability. This paper describes the vision system in terms of its hardware modules, as well as the image processing algorithms that it utilizes to perform its function. The system acquires intensity and topographic information from the scene. It uses texture-based features for the detection and facet-based descriptors for the localization of the nonuniformities. In addition to being tested in a laboratory environment, a prototype of this system was constructed and deployed to a paper mill, where its performance was evaluated under realistic conditions. Installed on a fourdrinier paper machine, running at 480 m/min and producing linerboard material, the vision system monitored about a 1 m wide area and successfully detected and localized slurry streaks.

The dendrone structure captures the connectedness of objects and subobjects during successive brightness thresholding. Based on connectedness and changes in intensity contours, dendronic representations of objects in images capture the coarse-to-fine unfolding of finer and finer detail, creating a unique signature for target objects that is invariant to lighting, scale, and placement of the object within the image. Subdendrones within the hierarchy are recognizable as objects within the picture. Complex composite images can be autonomously analyzed to determine if they contain the unique dendronic signatures of particular target objects of interest. In this paper, we describe the initial design of the dendronic image characterization environment (DICE) for the generation of dendronic signatures from complex multiband remote imagery. By comparing subdendrones within an image to dendronic signatures of target objects of interest, DICE can be used to match/retrieve target features from a library of composite images. The DICE framework can organize and support a number of alternative object recognition and comparison techniques, depending on the application domain. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The importance of this topic is clear: changes in the production and turnover of roots in forests and grasslands in response to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations, elevated temperatures, altered precipitation, or nitrogen deposition could be a key link between plant responses and longer-term changes in soil organic matter and ecosystem carbon balance. The introductory review (Norby & Jackson, 2000), which draws together the different contributions to the volume, asks three central questions: • Do elevated atmospheric CO2, nitrogen deposition, and climatic change alter the dynamics of root production and mortality? • How do physiological responses of roots to global change factors impact whole-plant and ecosystem metabolism? • What are the implications of root dynamics for soil microbial communities and the fate of carbon in soil? Ecosystem-level observations of root production and mortality in response to global change factors are just starting to emerge. The challenge to root biologists is to overcome the profound methodological and analytical problems and assemble a more comprehensive data set from which ecosystem responses can be explained. The commissioned reviews and research papers in this volume attempt to meet that challenge. Following the introductory review, three papers provide a framework for subsequent analyses by presenting a global perspective on root turnover, a review of morphological and physiological attributes of roots, and a discussion of concepts of carbon allocation in plants. This is followed by a series of papers describing experimental studies on the effects of elevated CO2 and climatic change in various ecosystems. Three papers consider the physiological responses of roots to global change factors, followed by three papers reviewing mycorrhizal interactions and soil biology, and the implications for carbon sequestration in soil. The final paper returns to a global perspective with an analysis of how roots are handled in models of global change. Throughout these articles there is information on topics such as methodology for studying root dynamics, the major gaps in our knowledge, and the idea that leaves are a good analogy for roots.

Here we summarize the experimental observations, ideas, and new hypotheses developed in this area in the rest of this volume. Three central questions are posed. Do elevated atmospheric CO2, nitrogen deposition, and climatic change alter the dynamics of root production and mortality? What are the consequences of root responses to plant physiological processes? What are the implications of root dynamics to soil microbial communities and the fate of carbon in soil? Ecosystem-level observations of root production and mortality in response to global change parameters are just starting to emerge. The challenge to root biologists is to overcome the profound methodological and analytical problems and assemble a more comprehensive data set with sufficient ancillary data that differences between ecosystems can be explained. The assemblage of information reported herein on global patterns of root turnover, basic root biology that controls responses to environmental variables, and new observations of root and associated microbial responses to atmospheric and climatic change helps to sharpen our questions and stimulate new research approaches. New hypotheses have been developed to explain why responses of root turnover might differ in contrasting systems, how carbon allocation to roots is controlled, and how species differences in root chemistry might explain the ultimate fate of carbon in soil. These hypotheses and the enthusiasm for pursuing them are based on the firm belief that a deeper understanding of root dynamics is critical to describing the integrated response of ecosystems to global change.

By molecular dynamics simulations close to zero temperature we have investigated the application of shear stress to a three-dimensional model quasicrystal consisting of Lennard-Jones particles and containing an edge dislocation of the Peierls-Nabarro type. Various visualization methods have been used to trace the dislocation line. To determine suitable Burgers vectors we have calculated the gamma surface, that is the misfit energy obtained by a rigid shift of two probe halves along a glide plane. Glide motion of the dislocation on different glide planes was observed. In its wake a plane of phasonic defects was detected.

The instability arises from eigenvalues embedded in the essential spectrum of the associated linearized operators; these eigenvalues are dislodged by smooth perturbations. Specifically we consider perturbations which arise in fiber optics as a result of birefringence, including the so-called four-wave mixing term. Employing the Evans function and a Dirichlet expansion on the stable manifold of the linearized system,we obtain rigorous perturbation results and compute the stability diagram of the fast wave for all physical values of the birefringent parameters, using a novel numerical scheme derived from the Dirichlet expansion.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 2000/07/15/ VL - 19 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 3556 EP - 3564 SN - 02614189 AB - Erythrocytes, which are incapable of endocytosis or phagocytosis, can be infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We find that a transmembrane protein (Dully), glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored and cytoplasmic proteins, associated with detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) that are characteristic of microdomains in host cell membranes, are internalized by vacuolar parasites, while the major integral membrane and cytoskeletal proteins are not. The internalized host proteins and a plasmodial transmembrane resident parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) protein are detected in DRMs associated with vacuolar parasites. This is the first report of a host transmembrane protein being recruited into an apicomplexan vacuole and of the presence of vacuolar DRMs; it establishes that integral association does not preclude protein internalization into the P.falciparum vacuole. Rather, as shown for Duffy, intracellular accumulation occurs at the same rate as that seen for a DRM-associated GPI-anchored protein. Furthermore, novel mechanisms regulated by the DRM lipids, sphingomyelin and cholesterol, mediate (i) the uptake of host DRM proteins and (ii) maintenance of the intracellular vacuole in the non-endocytic red cell, which may have implications for intracellular parasitism and pathogenesis.

In this work we show, for the first time, a complete sequence of structural phase transitions of HfV, from cubic (Fd3m) to tetragonal (I41/amd) to orthorhombic (lmma) in succession as temperature decreases. Peak splitting and extra diffraction peaks owing to lattice distortion can be clearly distinguished for the low-symmetry phases. The atomic positions and lattice parameters were obtained by Rietveld refinement. The bond lengths and angles of the HfV2 crystal structure at the low-symmetry phases were correctly determined from the structure refinement. The face-centered cubic (Fd3m) unit cell (Z = 24) transforms to a body-centered tetragonal (I41/amd) phase with a 45° rotation relative to the cubic cell and with a reduced number of atoms (Z = 12) in the unit cell at a temperature of T = 112 K. The orthorhombic phase occurs at T = 102 K and it keeps the body-centered symmetry (Imma) and Z = 12 in the unit cell. The refinement results indicate that there may be a small amount of untransformed cubic phase left over in the lower symmetry phases. The abnormal thermal contraction of both tetragonal phase and orthorhombic phase marks the significance of structural change in HfV2.

SN - 03438651 AB - Low-substrate regulated microaerophilic behavior (LSRMB) was observed in 10–54% of the bacteria isolated from several fresh-water lakes or ponds, subsurface soils, activated sludge, and Antarctic dry valley soils. Five Pseudomonas and two Bacillus type species showed LSRMB. A subsurface Pseudomonas jessenii strain was used as a model to show the metabolic interaction between substrate and oxygen concentrations, cell band movement, and the appearance of unique stress lipids and proteins. When the oxygen in the P. jessenii culture medium was increased from 11% to 100% saturation under atmospheric condition, the concentration of 17:0 cyclopropane fatty acid, a stress indicator, increased five-fold, and four unique proteins were also detected. This stress response occurred only in low-substrate media. It is our hypothesis that LSRMB is a common but under-appreciated trait of many aquatic and soil bacteria.

JO - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics JF - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Y1 - 2000/08// VL - 50 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 893 EP - 924 SN - 00114626 AB - This paper provides a review of the underlying theory of the Barkhausen effect in magnetic materials. The paper contains throughout many of the equations that are commonly used in the mathematical description of this phenomenon. A new contribution in this paper is the examination of how Barkhausen effect can be described in the presence of hysteresis using a hysteretic-stochastic process model. Although the Barkhausen effect has been known for many years its quantitative description has been rather slow in emerging. One reason for this is that as a result of its random nature the experimental observations are not completely reproducible and this means that the description is necessarily complicated by this fact. Nevertheless a mathematical description is possible and the Barkhausen effect does contain useful information about the details of the magnetization processes occuring on a microscopic scale, both from domain wall motion and domain rotation. This information can only be utilized in conjunction with a model description that can be used to interpret the results. The domain wall motion can be described in terms of two limiting models — flexible domain wall motion and rigid domain wall motion. Both give reasonably tractable mathematical solutions, and each has reversible and irreversible components. Domain rotation also has two limiting models — reversible and irreversible rotation, depending on the anisotropy and the magnitude of the angle of rotation. After having discussed the underlying physical description of the main mechanisms the paper proceeds to describe stochastic process models for Barkhausen effect, in particular recent work by Bertotti et al. It is then shown how the stochastic model can be generalized to include the effects of hysteresis. Finally the paper discusses measurement of the Barkhausen effect and how this can be used for the evaluation of stress and microstructure at the surface of a magnetic material.

SN - 01676369 AB - Approximately 250 000 kg of mercury was lost to water and soils at the U.S. Dept. of Energy Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the 1950s and early 1960s. A creek originating within the plant received continuous inputs of waterborne mercury, predominantly as dissolved inorganic mercury, from groundwater, streambed contamination, and sump and process water discharges to the contaminated storm sewer network. These produce aqueous total mercury concentrations of 1–2 μg L-1 in the upper reaches of the stream, decreasing to about 0.1–0.2 μg L-1 in its lower reaches. A program to reduce mercury concentrations in the creek identified specific sources (building sumps, contaminated springwater seeps, foundation drains, and contaminated piping) and rerouted water around contaminated portions of the drain system or collected and treated mercury-contaminated water before discharging it. As a result, waterborne mercury concentrations in the creek and total mercury loading were reduced from 1.8 μg L-1 to 0.6 μg L-1 and 100 to 20 g d-1, respectively, in the last 5 yr. Mean mercury concentrations in fish nearest source areas in the creek headwaters decreased at roughly the same rate as waterborne total mercury concentrations over the past five years, but at the facility boundary downstream the decline in mercury bioaccumulation was much less. At sites 5–15 km farther downstream, no decrease was evident. Dissolved methylmercury tended to increase with distance downstream in a pattern inverse to that noted for its dissolved inorganic mercury precursor. Improvements in water quality and modification of weirs to allow the passage of fish have resulted in the establishment of large populations of fish in mercury-contaminated headwater areas previously devoid of fish. It may be that the accumulation, retention, and eventual downstream transport of this reservoir of biologically incorporated methylmercury has acted to buffer against expected reductions in mercury in fish at downstream sites.

The indirect effects of an elevated CO2 concentration and temperature on leaf phytochemistry, along with potential direct effects on insect growth and consumption, may independently or interactively affect insects. To investigate this, we bagged larvae of the gypsy moth on leaves of red and sugar maple growing in open-top chambers in four CO2/temperature treatment combinations: (i) ambient temperature, ambient CO2; (ii) ambient temperature, elevated CO2 (+ 300 μL L-1 CO2); (iii) elevated temperature (+ 3.5°C), ambient CO2; and (iv) elevated temperature, elevated CO2. For both tree species, leaves grown at elevated CO2 concentration were significantly reduced in leaf nitrogen concentration and increased in C: N ratio, while neither temperature nor its interaction with CO2 concentration had any effect. Depending on the tree species, leaf water content declined (red maple) and carbon-based phenolics increased (sugar maple) on plants grown in an enriched CO2 atmosphere. The only observed effect of elevated temperature on leaf phytochemistry was a reduction in leaf water content of sugar maple leaves. Gypsy moth larval responses were dependent on tree species. Larvae feeding on elevated CO2-grown red maple leaves had reduced growth, while temperature had no effect on the growth or consumption of larvae. No significant effects of either temperature or CO2 concentration were observed for larvae feeding on sugar maple leaves. Our data demonstrate strong effects of CO2 enrichment on leaf phytochemical constituents important to folivorous insects, while an elevated temperature largely has little effect. We conclude that alterations in leaf chemistry...

SN - 00298549 AB - Plants often suffer reductions in fecundity due to insect herbivory. Whether this loss of seeds has population-level consequences is much debated and often unknown. For many plants, particularly those with long-lived seedbanks, it is frequently asserted that herbivores have minimal impacts on plant abundance because safe-site availability rather than absolute seed number determines the magnitude of future plant recruitment and hence population abundance. However, empirical tests of this assertion are generally lacking and the interplay between herbivory, spatio-temporal variability in seed- or safe-site-limited recruitment, and seedbank dynamics is likely to be complex. Here we use a stochastic simulation model to explore how changes in the spatial and temporal frequency of seed-limited recruitment, the strength of density-dependent seedling survival, and longevity of seeds in the soil influence the population response to herbivory. Model output reveals several surprising results. First, given a seedbank, herbivores can have substantial effects on mean population abundance even if recruitment is primarily safe-site-limited in either time or space. Second, increasing seedbank longevity increases the population effects of herbivory, because annual reductions in seed input due to herbivory are accumulated in the seedbank. Third, population impacts of herbivory are robust even in the face of moderately strong density-dependent seedling mortality. These results imply that the conditions under which herbivores influence plant population dynamics may be more widespread than heretofore expected. Experiments are now needed to test these predictions.

CalTOX, one of these models, is used to calculate the potential dose, an outcome that is combined with the toxicity of the chemical to determine the Human Toxicity Potential (HTP), used to aggregate and compare emissions. The comprehensive assessment of the uncertainty in the potential dose calculation in this article serves to provide the information necessary to evaluate the reliability of decisions based on the HTP. A framework for uncertainty analysis in multimedia risk assessment is proposed and evaluated with four types of uncertainty. Parameter uncertainty is assessed through Monte Carlo analysis. The variability in landscape parameters is assessed through a comparison of potential dose calculations for different regions in the United States. Decision rule uncertainty is explored through a comparison of the HTP values under open and closed system boundaries. Model uncertainty is evaluated through two case studies, one using alternative formulations for calculating the plant concentration and the other testing the steady state assumption for wet deposition.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2000/08/25/ VL - 60 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 531 EP - 548 SN - 15287394 AB - No study has comprehensively compared the rate of metabolism of carbon tetrachloride (CCl[sub 4]) across species. Therefore, the in vivo metabolism of CCl[sub 4] was evaluated using groups of male animals (F344 rats, B6C3F[sub 1] mice, and Syrian hamsters) exposed to 40-1800 ppm CCl[sub 4] in a closed, recirculating gas-uptake system. For each species, an optimal fit of the family of uptake curves was obtained by adjusting Michaelis-Menten metabolic constants K [sub m] (affinity) and V [sub max] (capacity) using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. The results show that the mouse has a slightly higher capacity and lower affinity for metabolizing CCl[sub 4] compared to the rat, while the hamster has a higher capacity and lower affinity than either rat or mouse. A comparison of the V [sub max] to K [sub m] ratio, normalized for milligrams of liver protein (L/ h/ mg) across species, indicates that hamsters metabolize more CCl[sub 4] than either rats or mice, and should be more susceptible to CCl[sub 4]-induced hepatotoxicity. These species comparisons were evaluated against toxicokinetic studies conducted in animals exposed by nose-only inhalation to 20 ppm 14C-labeled CCl[sub 4] for 4 h. The toxicokinetic study results are consistent with the in vivo rates of metabolism, with rats eliminating less radioactivity associated with metabolism ( 14CO [sub 2] and urine/ feces) and more radioactivity associated with the parent compound (radioactivity trapped on charcoal) compared to either hamsters or mice. The in vivo metabolic constants determined here, together with in vitro constants determined using rat, mouse, hamster, and human liver microsomes, were used to estimate human in vivo metabolic rates of 1.49 mg/ h/ kg body weight and 0.25 mg/ L for V [sub max] and K [sub m], respectively. Normalizing the rate of metabolism ( V [sub ma] / K [sub m]) by milligrams liver protein, the rate of metabolism of CCl[sub 4] differs across species, with[sup x]hamster > mouse > rat > human.

Summer thunderstorms generated three distinct erosive responses from each of three basins. The Capulin Canyon basin showed widespread erosive sheetwash and rilling from hillslopes, and severe flooding occurred in the channel; the North Tributary basin exhibited extensive erosion of the mineral soil to a depth of 5 cm and downslope movement of up to boulder-sized material, and at least one debris flow occurred in the channel; negligible surface runoff was observed in the South Tributary basin. The negligible surface runoff observed in the South Tributary basin is attributed to the limited extent and severity of the fire in that basin. The factors that best distinguish between debris-flow producing and flood-producing drainages are drainage basin morphology and lithology. A rugged drainage basin morphology, an average 12 per cent channel gradient, and steep, rough hillslopes coupled with colluvium and soil weathered from volcaniclastic and volcanic rocks promoted the generation of debris flows. A less rugged basin morphology, an average gradient of 5 per cent, and long, smooth slopes mantled with pumice promoted flooding. Flood and debris-flow responses were produced without the presence of water-repellent soils. The continuity and severity of the burn mosaic, the condition of the riparian vegetation, the condition of the fibrous root mat, accumulations of dry ravel and colluvial material in the channel and on hillslopes, and past debris-flow activity, appeared to have little bearing on the distinctive responses of the basins.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2000/09// VL - 19 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2168 EP - 2174 SN - 07307268 AB - The effects of sorption on the bioavailability of 2-methylpyridine (2-MP) were investigated by determining the biodegradation of 2-MP by an Arthrobacter sp. in aqueous suspensions of reference clay minerals and a synthetic cation exchange resin. Adsorption of 2-MP on kaolinite, illite, hectorite, montmorillonite, and Dowext was determined by the batch equilibrium method. In general, adsorption of 2-MP was positively correlated with the cation exchange capacity of the sorbent, suggesting that sorption of 2-MP on clay minerals occurs through a cation exchange reaction via the 2-methylpyridinium ion. The biodegradation of 2-MP was most rapid in the kaolinite suspensions, followed by no clay . illite k Dowex . hectorite/montmorillonite. With the exception of kaolinite, adsorption of 2-MP on clay minerals and Dowex reduced the rate of biodegradation. The degree of attenuation was positively correlated with the fraction of 2-MP sorbed, suggesting that sorbed 2-MP was not directly available for degradation. Desorption was not rate limiting in suspensions containing hectorite, montmorillonite, or Dowex; however, desorption may have become limiting in the kaolinite and illite suspensions. The results of this study clearly indicate that adsorption can directly affect the degradation of 2-MP in complex mineral systems.

The algorithm is settled into the context of genetic and evolutionary computation and the algorithms based on the estimation of distributions. The proposed algorithm is called the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (BOA). To estimate the distribution of promising solutions, the techniques for modeling multivariate data by Bayesian networks are used. The BOA identifies, reproduces, and mixes building blocks up to a specified order. It is independent of the ordering of the variables in strings representing the solutions. Moreover, prior information about the problem can be incorporated into the algorithm, but it is not essential. First experiments were done with additively decomposable problems with both nonoverlapping as well as overlapping building blocks. The proposed algorithm is able to solve all but one of the tested problems in linear or close to linear time with respect to the problem size. Except for the maximal order of interactions to be covered, the algorithm does not use any prior knowledge about the problem. The BOA represents a step toward alleviating the problem of identifying and mixing building blocks correctly to obtain good solutions for problems with very limited domain information.

Pinon pine is used for firewood, fence posts, and building materials and is a source of nuts for food—the seeds are consumed by a wide variety of animals and are also gathered by people in the area and eaten raw or roasted. This study investigated the (1) concentration of 3H, 137Cs, 90Sr, totU, 238Pu, 239, 240Pu, and241 Am in soils (0‐ to 12‐in. [31 cm] depth underneath the tree), pinon pine shoots (PPS), and pinon pine nuts (PPN) collected from LANL lands and regional background (BG) locations, (2) committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from the ingestion of nuts, and (3) soil to PPS to PPN concentration ratios (CRs). Most radionuclides, with the exception of 3H in soils, were not significantly higher (p < 0.10) in soils, PPS, and PPN collected from LANL as compared to BG locations, and concentrations of most radionuclides in PPN from LANL have decreased over time. The maximum net CEDE (the CEDE plus two sigma minus BG) at the most conservative ingestion rate (10 lb [4.5 kg]) was 0.0018 mrem (0.018 μSv); this is far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem (1000 μSv). Soil‐to‐nut CRs for most radionuclides were within the range of default values in the literature for common fruits and vegetables.

The waste streams were stabilized and solidified using chemically bonded phosphate ceramic (CBPC) binder, and then compacted by either uniaxial or harmonic press for volume reduction. The physical properties of the final waste forms were determined by measuring volume reduction, density, porosity, and compressive strength. The leachability of heavy metals in the final waste forms was determined by a toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test and a 90-day immersion test (ANS 16.1). The structural composition and nature of waste forms were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. CBPC binder and compaction can achieve 80-wt % waste loading and 39-47% reduction in waste volume. Compressive strength of final waste forms ranged from 1500 to 2000 psi. TCLP testing of waste forms showed that all heavy metals except Hg passed the TCLP limits using the phosphate-based binder. When Na[sub2]S was added to the binder, the waste forms also passed TCLP limits for Hg. Long-term leachability resistance of the final waste forms was achieved for all metals in both soil and ash wastes, and the leachability index was ∼ 14. XRD patterns of waste forms indicated vermiculite in the ash waste was chemically incorporated into the CBPC matrix. SEM showed that waste forms are layered when compacted by uniaxial press and are homogeneous when compacted by harmonic press.

The ITF is defined as the pollutant mass inhaled by an exposed individual per unit pollutant mass emitted from an air pollution source. A cumulative population inhalation transfer factor (PITF) is also defined to describe the total fraction of an emitted pollutant inhaled by all members of the exposed population. In this paper, ITFs and PITFs are calculated for outdoor releases from area, point, and line sources, indoor releases in single zone and multizone indoor environments, and releases within motor vehicles. Typical PITFs for an urban area from emissions outdoors are ∼ 10[sup-6]-10[sup-3]. PITFs associated with emissions in buildings or in moving vehicles are typically much higher, ∼ 10[sup-3]-10[sup-1].

SN - 00298549 AB - We analyzed the hydraulic constraints imposed on water uptake from soils of different porosities in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) by comparing genetically related and even-aged plantations growing in loam versus sand soil. Water use was evaluated relative to the maximum transpiration rate (Ecrit) allowed by the soil-leaf continuum. We expected that trees on both soils would approach Ecrit during drought. Trees in sand, however, should face greater drought limitation because of steeply declining hydraulic conductivity in sand at high soil water potential (ΨS). Transport considerations suggest that trees in sand should have higher root to leaf area ratios (AR:AL), less negative leaf xylem pressure (ΨL), and be more vulnerable to xylem cavitation than trees in loam. The AR:AL was greater in sand versus loam (9.8 vs 1.7, respectively). This adjustment maintained about 86% of the water extraction potential for both soils. Trees in sand were more deeply rooted (>1.9 m) than in loam (95% of roots <0.2 m), allowing them to shift water uptake to deeper layers during drought and avoid hydraulic failure. Midday ΨL was constant for days of high evaporative demand, but was less negative in sand (–1.6 MPa) versus loam (–2.1 MPa). Xylem was more vulnerable to cavitation in sand versus loam trees. Roots in both soils were more vulnerable than stems, and experienced the greatest predicted loss of conductivity during drought. Trees on both soils approached Ecrit during drought, but at much higher ΨS in sand (<–0.4 MPa) than in loam (<–1.0 MPa). Results suggest considerable phenotypic plasticity in water use traits for P. taeda which are adaptive to differences in soil porosity.

This paper demonstrates that, for PDE problems, the patterns of powers of sparsified matrices (PSMs) can be used a priori as effective approximate inverse patterns, and that the additional effort of adaptive sparsity pattern calculations may not be required. PSM patterns are related to various other approximate inverse sparsity patterns through matrix graph theory and heuristics concerning the PDE's Green's function. A parallel implementation shows that PSM-patterned approximate inverses are significantly faster to construct than approximate inverses constructed adaptively, while often giving preconditioners of comparable quality.

In particular, we are interested in the scalability of the solver-how the solution time varies as both problem size and number of processors are increased. For an iterative linear solver, scalability involves both algorithmic issues and implementation issues. We examine the scalability of the solver theoretically by constructing a simple parallel model and experimentally by results obtained on an IBM SP. The results are compared with those obtained for other solvers on the same computer.

Some theoretical results on the effect of orderings on the fill-in and decay behavior of the inverse factors of a sparse matrix are presented. It is shown experimentally that certain reorderings, like minimum degree and nested dissection, can be very beneficial. The benefit consists of a reduction in the storage and time required for constructing the preconditioner, and of faster convergence of the preconditioned iteration in many cases of practical interest.

While AMG has proved its usefulness on various problem types, it is not commonly understood how wide a range of applicability the method has. In this study, we demonstrate that range of applicability, while describing some of the recent advances in AMG technology. Moreover, in light of the imperatives of modern computer environments, we also examine AMG in terms of algorithmic scalability. Finally, we show some of the situations in which standard AMG does not work well and indicate the current directions taken by AMG researchers to alleviate these difficulties.

This second-order equation is first recast into an equivalent first-order system by introducing several "field" variables. A combination of scaled L² and norms is then applied to the residual of this system to create a least-squares functional. It is shown that, in an appropriate Hilbert space, the homogeneous part of this functional is equivalent to a squared graph norm, that is, a product norm on the space of individual variables. This equivalence to a norm that decouples the variables means that standard finite element discretization techniques and standard multigrid solvers can be applied to obtain optimal performance. However, this equivalence is not uniform in the wavenumber k, which can signal degrading performance of the numerical solution process as k increases. To counter this difficulty, we obtain a result that characterizes the error components causing performance degradation. We do this by defining a finite-dimensional subspace of these components on whose orthogonal complement k-uniform equivalence is proved for this functional and an analogous functional that is based only on L² norms. This subspace equivalence motivates a nonstandard multigrid method that attempts to achieve optimal convergence uniformly in k. We report on numerical experiments that empirically confirm k-uniform optimal performance of this multigrid solver. We also report on tests of the error in our discretization that seem to confirm optimal accuracy that is free of the so-called pollution effect.

JO - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing JF - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing Y1 - 2000/09// VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1950 EP - 1968 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 10648275 AB - We present a novel linear solver that works well for large systems obtained from discretizing PDEs. It is robust and, for the examples we studied, the computational effort scales linearly with the number of equations. The algorithm is based on a wavelength decomposition that combines conjugate gradient, multiscaling, and iterative splitting methods into a single approach. On the surface, the algorithm is a simple preconditioned conjugate gradient with all the sophistication of the algorithm in the choice of the preconditioning matrix. The preconditioner is a very good approximate inverse of the linear operator. It is constructed from the inverse of the coarse grained linear operator and from smoothing operators that are based on an operator splitting on the fine grid. The coarse graining captures the long wavelength behavior of the inverse operator, while the smoothing operator captures the short wavelength behavior. The conjugate gradient iteration accounts for the coupling between long and short wavelengths. The coarse grained operator corresponds to a lower resolution approximation to the PDEs. While the coarse grained inverse is not known explicitly, the algorithm requires only that the preconditioner can be a applied to a vector. The coarse inverse applied to a vector can be obtained as the solution of another preconditioned conjugate gradient solver that applies the same algorithm to the smaller problem. Thus, the method is naturally recursive. The recursion ends when the matrix is sufficiently small for a solution to be obtained efficiently with a standard solver. The local feedback provided by the conjugate gradient step at every level makes the algorithm very robust. In spite of the effort required for the coarse inverse, the algorithm is efficient because the increased quality of the approximate inverse greatly reduces the number of times the preconditioner needs to be evaluated. A feature of the algorithm is that the transition between coarse grids is determined dynamically by the accuracy requirement of the conjugate gradient solver at each level. Typically, later iterations on the finer scales need fewer iterations on the coarser scales and the computational effort is proportional to N rather than N log N, where N is the number of equations. We have tested our solver on the porous flow equation. On a workstation we have solved problems on grids ranging in dimension over three orders of magnitude, from 103 to 106, and found that the linear scaling holds. The algorithm works well, even when the permeability tensor has spatial variations exceeding a factor of 109.

To address this question, we employed homologous recombination and LoxP/Cre-mediated deletion to produce mutant murine embryonic stem (ES) cells that express p53 with Gin and Ser in place of Leu25 and Trp26, respectively. p53Gln25ser26 was stable but did not accumulate after DNA damage; the expression of p21/Waf1 and PERP was not induced, and p53-dependent repression of MAP4 expression was abolished. Therefore, p53Gln25ser26 is completely deficient in transcriptional activation and repression activities. After DNA damage by UV radiation, p53Gln25ser26 was phosphorylated at Ser18 but was not acetylated at C-terminal sites, and its DNA binding activity did not increase, further supporting a role for p53 acetylation in the activation of sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Most importantly, p53Gln25ser26 mouse thymocytes and ES cells, like p53-/- cells, did not undergo DNA damage-induced apoptosis. We conclude that the transcriptional activities of p53 are required for p53-dependent apoptosis.

Diversion of runoff from undisturbed areas upstream of the waste site (1983) reduced flow through the site by more than 65% and annual 90Sr release by more than 45%. However, between 1983 and 1994, increases in 90Sr source strength have partially offset the diversion effectiveness. Selective source control in 1996 further reduced annual 90Sr releases by more than 30% in the first two years, compared with pre-treatment conditions. The effectiveness of the grouting treatment should increase over the next 5–10 years, if new 90Sr sources are insignificant.

Recent developments in the field of chaotic advection in hydrodynamical/environmental flows encourage us to revisit the population dynamics of competing species in open aquatic systems. 2. We assume that these species are in competition for a common limiting resource in open flows with chaotic advection dynamics. As an illustrative example, we consider a time periodic two-dimensional flow of viscous fluid (water) around a cylindrical obstacle. 3. Individuals accumulate along a fractal set in the wake of the cylinder, which acts as a catalyst for the biological reproduction process. While in homogeneous, well mixed environments only one species could survive this competition, coexistence of competitors is typical in our hydrodynamical system. 4. It is shown that a steady state sets in after sufficiently long times. In this state, the relative density of competitors is determined rather by the fractal nature of the spatial distribution of the advected species, and by their initial conditions, than by their competitive abilities. We argue that two factors, the strong chaotic mixing along a fractal set and the boundary layer around the obstacle, are responsible for the coexistence.

This new variant is able to retain an arbitrary number of Ritz vectors from the previous iterations with a minimal restarting cost. Since it restarts with Ritz vectors, it is simpler than similar methods, such as the implicitly restarted Lanczos method. We carefully examine the effects of the floating-point round-off errors on stability of the new algorithm and present an implementation of the partial reorthogonalization scheme that guarantees accurate Ritz values with a minimal amount of reorthogonalization. We also show a number of heuristics on deciding which Ritz pairs to save during restart in order to maximize the overall performance of the thick-restart Lanczos method.

The resulting system is a generalization of the well-known elliptic grid generation system derived from conformal mapping. Coupled with the grid generation system, the impedance-matching principle describes a methodology for preserving the discrete accuracy of the simulation, both internal to the domain and near internal geometric interfaces. Empirically, satisfying the impedance principle tends to minimize mesh effects on the solution results; meshes that are impedance-matched tend to reduce or eliminate spurious wave reflection and/or attenuation at internal interfaces. The resulting grid generation system is used to construct impedance-matched quasi-orthogonal grids on domains containing internal geometric constraints given an algebraic grid and a grid impedance function as initial conditions.

Selected foraminifer taxa (Globigerinoides spp., Globigerina bulloides, and Uvigerina) characterizing, respectively, the near-surface, intermediate, and bottom layers of the water column, were studied in two boreholes of SW Poland. The δ18O and δ13C values for these taxa show distinct differences which can be explained by the temperature difference between surface and bottom waters during deposition. These values also show temporal changes corresponding to the water temperature evolution in the Badenian basin. Different and quickly changing environmental conditions have been inferred from changes in foraminifer assemblages. They explain why biostratigraphic subdivisions based on well-recognized assemblages are the most accurate approach for determining the biostratigraphy of middle Miocene deposits in the Central Paratethys. The results of isotopic studies indicate that evaporites occur in a part of the Badenian section that was characterized by the lowest temperatures in the studied sections.

SN - 00496979 AB - As sensitive and ecologically relevant measures of environmental conditions, bioindicators can be used to assess the health of aquatic ecosystems which may be compromised by a variety of environmental stressors such as contaminants, sediments, nutrients, and varying temperature, salinity, and hydrologic regimes. The bioindicators approach is a proven bioassessment method that uses responses of key (sentinel) aquatic organisms both as integrators of stress effects and as sensitive response (early-warning) indicators of environmental health. This integrated approach involves measuring a suite of selected biological and ecological responses at several levels of biological organization from the biomolecular and biochemical to the community levels. When properly designed and applied in field situations, bioindicator studies can help identify causal mechanisms between environmental stressors and population and community-level effects, and serve as a basis for which the effectiveness of remedial actions on the health of aquatic organisms can be evaluated. Rapidly-responding sensitive biomarkers, such as biomolecular and biochemical responses, and slower-response ecologically relevant bioindicators, such as population and community responses, can be included in field bioassessment programs to provide measurement endpoints for use in environmental compliance, regulatory decision-making, and ecological risk assessments. This bioindicators approach should be particularly relevant in helping to identify and diagnose sources of stressors in environments impacted by multiple stressors. To demonstrate use of bioindicators in addressing water quality issues, spatial and temporal patters in various biological responses are related to spatial and temporal patterns of contaminants in two aquatic systems compromised by different stressors.

SN - 00496979 AB - Quantitative assessments of potential human-health consequences from contaminants in environmental media routinely involve conservative deterministic, screening-level calculations of exposure and risk. Because these calculations generally are based on multiple upper-bound point estimates of input parameters, particularly for exposure attributes, they can yield results for decision makers that actually overstate the need for costly remediation. Alternatively, quantifying uncertainty and variability in exposure can provide a more informative and quantitative characterization of health risk. To illustrate, uncertainty and variability in exposure were analyzed for a hypothetical population at a specific site in California where there is trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated ground water and a potential for its residential use. When uncertainty and variability in exposure were addressed jointly, the 95th-percentile upper-bound value of individual excess lifetime cancer risk was a factor approaching 10 lower than the most conservative deterministic estimate. Also, the probability of more than zero additional cases of cancer can be estimated, and in this case study it is less than 0.5 for a prospective residential population of up to 26,900 individuals present for any 7.6-y interval of a 70-y time period. Clearly, this probabilistic approach can provide reasonable and equitable risk-acceptability criteria for contaminated sites.

JO - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society JF - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Y1 - 2000/10/21/ VL - 318 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 511 EP - 525 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 00358711 AB - We report multisite observations devoted to the main-sequence δ Scuti star XX Pyx, conducted as the 17th run of the Delta Scuti Network. Over 125 nights a total of 550 h of usable time-series photometric B- and V-filter data were acquired involving both photoelectric and CCD measurements at eight observatories spread around the world, which represents the most extensive single time-series for any pulsating star other than the Sun obtained so far. We describe our observations and reduction methods, and present the frequency analysis of our new data. First, we detect six new pulsation and five new combination frequencies in the star's light curves. We also discover evidence for amplitude and/or frequency variations of some of the modes during the observations. These can occur on time-scales as short as 20 d and show quite diverse behaviour. To take them into account in the frequency analysis, a so-called non-linear frequency analysis method was developed, allowing us to quantify the temporal variability of the modes and to compensate for it. Following that we continue the frequency search and we also incorporate published multisite observations. In this way, we reveal three more pulsation and two more combination frequencies. In the end, we report a total of 30 significant frequencies – 22 of which correspond to independent pulsation modes. This is the largest number of independent modes ever detected in the light curves of a δ Scuti star. The frequencies of the modes show preferred separations as already suggested by previous work on this star; they are also arranged in clear patterns. These results lead to a refinement of the stellar mean density [equation] and to a new constraint on the rotation rate of XX Pyx (ν[sub rot]=1.1±0.3 d[sup -1]). However, our attempts to identify the modes by pattern recognition failed. Moreover, mode identification from multicolour photometry failed as well because the high pulsation frequencies make this method unfavourable. The diverse behaviour of the amplitude and frequency variations of some of the modes leaves resonances as the only presently known possibility for their explanation.

However, mapping software with a set of notations that would survive the test of time is becoming increasingly difficult. A survey of current methodologies indicates that half-lives of various software notations are short. The dependence of software notations on programming languages and environment specific methodologies often makes these notations obsolete. In this paper, development of a standard set of software notations that is independent of programming paradigms, yet extensible enough to accommodate programming needs, is proposed.

A round-rod specimen having a V-grooved spiral line with a 45° pitch is tested under pure torsion. An equibiaxial tensile/compressive stress state is effectively created to simulate conventional test methods using a compact-type specimen with a thickness equivalent to the full length of the spiral line. KIC values are estimated from the fracture load and crack length with the aid of a three-dimensional finite element analysis. KIC of 7475-T7351 aluminium is estimated to be 51.3 MPa √m, which is higher than the vendor’s value in the TL orientation by ∼0.8% and higher than 0.5T compact tension (CT) value by 6%; A302B steel yields 54.9 MPa √m being higher than CT test value by ∼2%. Good agreement between the KIC values obtained by different methods indicates the proposed method is sound and reliable.

The purpose of this study is to identify additional genes that are affected by UV and X-radiation. Identification of specific genes affected by radiation may allow the determination of pathways important in radiation responses as well as an examination of transcriptional elements that are involved in the process. Materials and methods: A modified differential display approach coupled with sequencing was used to identify genes that are modulated in response to UV and ionizing radiation, and Northern blot analysis was used to confirm specific gene modulation. Results: Treatment of human primary umbilical vein endothelial cells with UV radiation resulted in the differential expression of several genes. Sequencing of the bands revealed that one of these was calmodulin. There was a 30% reduction in accumulation of calmodulin-specific mRNA 1h post UV exposure, and a 50% decrease 3h after treatment. X-rays also repressed accumulation of calmodium mRNA. Radiation exposure of HeLa cells also resulted in a decrease in expression of this gene. Conclusions: UV and ionizing radiations cause a decrease in accumulation of calmodulin transcripts in the first 1-3 h following exposure. Repression of calmodium mRNA levels may be one mechanism of stress-induced intracellular Ca[sup 2+] modulation.

All of the higher plant fructose bisphosphatases and mitochondrial citrate synthases that have been tested to date, two glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenases, two enolases and one lactate dehydrogenase, are redox-sensitive and may then be redox-regulated in vivo. Apparently, redox-sensitivity is not limited to the chloroplast.

Assuming access to the element stiffness matrices, we have that AMGe is based on the use of two local measures, which are derived from global measures that appear in existing multigrid theory. These new measures are used to determine local representations of algebraically ‘smooth’ error components that provide the basis for constructing effective interpolation and, hence, the coarsening process for AMG. Here, we focus on the interpolation process; choice of the coarse ‘grids’ based on these measures is the subject of current research. We develop a theoretical foundation for AMGe and present numerical results that demonstrate the efficacy of the method.

JO - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics JF - Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Y1 - 2000/12// VL - 50 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1421 EP - 1430 SN - 00114626 AB - It has been suggested that by electrically biasing the divertor tiles in a tokamak, one could create a toroidally-asymmetric potential structure in the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma. The resulting E× B convective motion should increase the plasma transport in the SOL and thereby reduce the heat load on the divertor plates. This paper describes plans for such experiments on COMPASS-D and preliminary theoretical modelling. The COMPASS-D divertor target consists of 24 graphite tiled toroidal segments. The inner and outer strike point tiles on all these segments will be insulated from each other, and cabling will be installed to allow for biasing of individual tiles in any combination. Theoretical analysis suggests that the electrostatic potential perturbations caused by the biasing will be confined to the divertor region below the X-point, and that substantial SOL broadening can be achieved by applying modest voltages. Aside from active control of SOL transport, it is hoped that the biasing will be useful to probe other divertor and SOL physics issues.

In the absence of E× B sheared flows, fluctuations are expected to show maximum amplitude near rational surfaces, and plasma confinement might tend to deteriorate. On the other hand, if the generation of E× B sheared flows were linked to low order rational surfaces, these would be beneficial for confinement. Experimental evidence of E× B sheared flows linked to rational surfaces has been obtained in the plasma edge region of the TJ-II stellarator.

SN - 09430105 AB - The impact of geochemical processes and microbial activity has been a major concern for the long-term performance of reactive iron barriers because corrosion products and precipitates during the water treatment with reactive materials will decrease the reactivity and permeability of the iron bed. This study characterizes corrosion products in reactive iron barrier as well as evaluates the effect of the iron corrosion products and precipitates on iron wall performance during contaminated-water treatment under varying conditions. Major phases in the reactive iron barrier include iron oxides, carbonates, iron sulfides, and elemental sulfur, depending on the degree of iron oxidation, groundwater chemistry, and microbial activity. Detailed geochemical and mineralogical characteristics are imperative for long-range predictions of the reactive iron wall performance on water treatment because the surface coating materials reduce the effectiveness of the zero-valent iron media.

However, environmental cleanup costs, as well as regulatory, political, and community issues can be stumbling blocks. New tools and methods are now available to resolve “distressed” site redeployment issues. Plus, federal and state regulators are now helping to streamline the environmental approvals' process for contaminated properties with redevelopment potential. This session will address the latest techniques to uncover redevelopment opportunities and: Reduce cleanup costs and minimize environmental liabilities; Manage regulatory issues and community affairs; and Structure and close optimum transactions. For example, in California several oil terminal and refinery sites have recently been repositioned in the marketplace for productive new uses. The key to moving these projects ahead was in coordinating the site reuse opportunities with remediation plans and effectively communicating the objectives to regulators, developers, and communities. Case studies will be used to illustrate how corporations are succeeding in redeploying distressed assets.

SN - 0364152X AB - Land-use change, dominated by an increase in urban/impervious areas, has a significant impact on water resources. This includes impacts on nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, which is the leading cause of degraded water quality in the United States. Traditional hydrologic models focus on estimating peak discharges and NPS pollution from high-magnitude, episodic storms and successfully address short-term, local-scale surface water management issues. However, runoff from small, low-frequency storms dominates long-term hydrologic impacts, and existing hydrologic models are usually of limited use in assessing the long-term impacts of land-use change. A long-term hydrologic impact assessment (L-THIA) model has been developed using the curve number (CN) method. Long-term climatic records are used in combination with soils and land-use information to calculate average annual runoff and NPS pollution at a watershed scale. The model is linked to a geographic information system (GIS) for convenient generation and management of model input and output data, and advanced visualization of model results. The L-THIA/NPS GIS model was applied to the Little Eagle Creek (LEC) watershed near Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Historical land-use scenarios for 1973, 1984, and 1991 were analyzed to track land-use change in the watershed and to assess impacts on annual average runoff and NPS pollution from the watershed and its five subbasins. For the entire watershed between 1973 and 1991, an 18% increase in urban or impervious areas resulted in an estimated 80% increase in annual average runoff volume and estimated increases of more than 50% in annual average loads for lead, copper, and zinc. Estimated nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) loads decreased by 15% mainly because of loss of agricultural areas. The L-THIA/NPS GIS model is a powerful tool for identifying environmentally sensitive areas in terms of NPS pollution potential and for evaluating alternative land use scenarios for NPS pollution management.

This reduced, acclimated, stimulation of A often occurs concomitantly with a reduction in the maximum carboxylation velocity (Vc,max) of Rubisco. To investigate this relationship we used the Farquhar model of C3 photosynthesis to predict the minimum Vc,max capable of supporting the acclimated stimulation in A observed at elevated pCO2. For a wide range of species grown at elevated pCO2 under contrasting conditions we found a strong correlation between observed and predicted values of Vc,max. This exercise mechanistically and quantitatively demonstrated that the observed acclimated stimulation of A and the simultaneous decrease in Vc,max observed at elevated pCO2 is mechanistically consistent. With the exception of plants grown at a high elevated pCO2 (> 90 Pa), which show evidence of an excess investment in Rubisco, the failure to maintain the initial stimulation of A is almost entirely attributable to the decrease in Vc,max and investment in Rubisco is coupled to requirements.

Materials and methods: Human lymphocytes were irradiated in vitro with 3.0Gy [sup 60]Co γ-rays, 0.9 Gy [sup 3]H β-rays or 0.2 Gy 2.7Mev neutrons. Detailed chromosome aberrations were analysed by combined FISH with pan-telomere staining and specific wholechromosome painting (1, 2 and 4). Total chromosome translocations and insertions were also analysed by multicolour wholechromosome painting (chromosomes 1, 2 and 4 orange, chromosomes 3, 5 and 6 green). Results: Among the six proposed radiation cytogenetic fingerprints, the ratio of total simple translocations to insertions (I-ratio), showed the largest difference between low-LET 60Co γ-ray and high-LET neutron radiation. The ratios of complete exchanges to incomplete rejoinings [S(I)-ratio] and dicentrics to interstitial deletions (H-ratio), showed a similar significant difference between low- and high-LET radiation. The ratios of centric rings to interstitial deletion (G-ratio) showed a trend of LETrelated difference, but the difference was not significant in this data set. The ratios of dicentrics to centric rings (F-ratio) and apparent complete exchanges to hidden complete exchanges [S(II)-ratio], showed no difference between low- and high-LET radiation. In the 1426 radiation-induced chromosome aberrations observed after 52h culture, evidence for sister-chromatid fusion but not telomere addition was found. Conclusion: Pan-telomere staining plus specific whole chromosome painting allows simultaneous and objective detection of complete or incomplete chromosome exchanges and interstitial or terminal deletions in human peripheral lymphocytes. Of the six proposed cytogenetic ratios, the I-ratio is the most effective cytogenetic fingerprint for distinguishing low-LET from high-LET radiation in human metaphase human lymphocytes.

At present, however, there are few observational constraints on the abundance of SNe at high redshifts. A major science driver for the Next Generation Space Telescope is the study of such very distant SNe. In this paper we discuss strategies for finding and counting distant SNe by using repeat imaging of supercritical intermediate redshift clusters whose mass distributions are well constrained via modelling of strongly lensed features. For a variety of different models for the star formation history and supernova progenitors, we estimate the likelihood of detecting lensed SNe as a function of their redshift. In the case of a survey conducted with Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we predict a high probability of seeing a supernova in a single return visit with either Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 or Advanced Camera for Surveys, and a much higher probability of detecting examples with in the lensed case. Most events would represent magnified SNe II at and a fraction will be more distant examples. We discuss various ways to classify such events using ground-based infrared photometry. We demonstrate an application of the method using the HST archival data and discuss the case of a possible event found in the rich cluster AC 114 .

The gas exchange measurements were performed in a uniform loblolly pine stand (Pinus taeda L.) using the Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) facility under ambient and elevated atmospheric CO2 for 3 years. These measurements were also used to test a newly proposed framework that combines basic properties of the A–Ci curve with a Fickian diffusion transport model to predict the relationship between Ci/Ca and gc, where Ca is atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. The widely used Ball–Berry model and five other models as well as the biochemical model proposed by were also reformulated to express variations in Ci/Ca as a function of their corresponding driving mechanisms. To assess the predictive capabilities of these approaches, their respective parameters were estimated from independent measurements of long-term stable carbon isotope determinations (δ13C), meteorological variables, and ensemble A–Ci curves. All eight approaches reproduced the measured A reasonably well, in an ensemble sense, from measured water vapour conductance and modeled Ci/Ca. However, the scatter in the instantaneous A estimates was sufficiently large for both ambient and elevated Ca to suggest that other transient processes were not explicitly resolved by all eight parameterizations. An important finding from our analysis is that added physiological complexity in modeling Ci/Ca (when gc is known) need not always translate to increased accuracy in predicting A. Finally, the broader utility of these approaches to estimate assimilation and net ecosystem exchange is discussed in relation to elevated atmospheric CO2.

The system is fully immersive and multimodal, and users are represented as tracked, full-body figures. The system supports the manipulation of virtual objects, allowing users to act upon the environment in a natural manner. The underlying intelligent simulation component creates an interactive, responsive world in which the consequences of such actions are presented within a realistic, time-critical scenario. The focus of this work has been on the training of medical emergency-response personnel. BioSimMER, an application of the system to training first responders to an act of bio-terrorism, has been implemented and is presented throughout the paper as a concrete example of how the underlying platform architecture supports complex training tasks. Finally, a preliminary field study was performed at the Texas Engineering Extension Service Fire Protection Training Division. The study focused on individual, rather than team, interaction with the system and was designed to gauge user acceptance of VR as a training tool. The results of this study are presented.

The readout architecture is designed for a chip containing about 3000 pixels of 50 μm×400 μm. The main objective is to get the maximum pixel hit readout with the minimum probability of hit loss. The readout architecture is modeled as a Markov stochastic process. The pixel front-end and readout are simulated and tested with Monte Carlo data. The simulations allow to optimize the communication channel bandwidths and local buffering. The probability of system overflow of the simulated system is compared with the one obtained by modeling [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Both the count rate variation measurement and the computer simulation showed that the defocusing effect disappeared in the 50 μm pitch MDOT. Initial charge buildup on the detector surface was also minimized when the small lateral dimension was combined with surface coating. The maximum gas gain was limited to ~1200 due to the small distance available for avalanche multiplication. We also developed a two-level microdot, namely closed-end gas electron multiplication (CEGEM) chamber. A CEGEM detector having a pitch of 200 μm, holes of 40 μm width and a spacer layer of 18.5 μm thickness showed a maximum gain of ~400. This gain is expected to increase by increasing the spacer layer thickness and adjusting the hole size [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Fusion devices, particularly tokamak reactors, are complicated by geometry constraints that complicate disposition of fully effective shielding. This paper reviews some of these shielding issues and suggested solutions for optimizing the machine and biological shielding. Radiation transport calculations are essential for predicting and confirming the nuclear performance of the reactor and, as such, must be an essential part of the reactor design process. Development and optimization of reactor components from the first wall and primary shielding to the penetrations and containment shielding must be carried out in a sensible progression. Initial results from one-dimensional transport calculations are used for scoping studies and are followed by detailed two- and three-dimensional analyses to effectively characterize the overall radiation environment. These detail model calculations are essential for accounting for the radiation leakage through ports and other penetrations in the bulk shield. Careful analysis of component activation and radiation damage is cardinal for defining remote handling requirements, in-situ replacement of components, and personnel access at specific locations inside the reactor containment vessel.

The physical model of hadron and lepton interactions with nuclei and atoms has undergone substantial improvements. These include a new nuclear cross section library, a model for soft pion production, a cascade-exciton model, a dual parton model, deuteron-nucleus and neutrino-nucleus interaction models, a detailed description of negative hadron and muon absorption, and a unified treatment of muon and charged hadron electromagnetic interactions with matter. New algorithms have been implemented into the code and benchmarked against experimental data. A new Graphical-User Interface has been developed. The code capabilities to simulate cascades and generate a variety of results in complex systems have been enhanced. The MARS system includes links to the MCNP code for neutron and photon transport below 20 MeV, to the ANSYS code for thermal and stress analyses and to the STRUCT code for multi-turn particle tracking in large synchrotrons and collider rings. Results of recent benchmarking of the MARS code are presented. Examples of non-trivial code applications are given for the Fermilab Booster and Main Injector, for a 1.5 MW target station and a muon storage ring.

The ITER project position is that dose rates inside the cryostat be kept low enough to allow for human access shortly after shutdown for limited periods to provide rescue and/or maintenance activities. The methodology of estimation for dose rates after shutdown in such a complex geometry machine is discussed. The Monte Carlo method is preferable to conduct neutron transport calculations in the ITER geometry. The Conversion Factor method, which was used for dose rate estimation in the 1998 ITER shielding design, is described with an example of dose rate estimation around penetrations in the vacuum vessel. A Full Monte Carlo method is proposed showing the possibility of eliminating uncertainty accompanied with conversion factors from neutron flux or isotope production rate to dose rate after shutdown.

Plant Anal. 17, 95–116). Our goal is to identify the catalytic, self-associating and wall targeting functional domains of algal vanadium peroxidase to understand its role in algal propagule adhesion. As a first step, we truncated our recombinant Fucus vanadium peroxidase (GenBank AF053411) for catalytic domain identification. Recombinant constructs were prepared which reduced the C-terminal catalytic domain at either or both N- and C-terminal ends. Recombinant proteins were expressed in E. coli, refolded from cytoplasm and inclusion bodies and tested for vanadium-specific o-dianisidine peroxidase activity. Preliminary results demonstrated peroxidase activity when the 40 kDa catalytic domain was truncated on both ends to 24 kDa. Further terminal and internal truncation is needed to fully define the minimal catalytic unit, which could be as small as 15–20 kDa within the 73 kDa monomer. The very small catalytic unit in Fucus vanadium peroxidase is not unexpected considering the rigid bundled helical vanadate frame in the Curvularia fungal vanadium peroxidase (Macedo-Ribeiro et al. 1999, J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 4, 209–219). We conclude that interactions between the N-terminal noncatalytic domain and the C-terminal catalytic domain, found in the crystalline Ascophyllum enzyme (Weyland et al. 1999, J. Mol. Biol. 293, 595–611), are unnecessary for peroxidase activity. Other conserved amino acids in the C-terminal half of Fucus vanadium peroxidase, peripheral to the helical core, could participate in protein surface functions such self-association and wall targeting.

But unlike high-order quadrature, Fekete points generalize to non-tensor-product domains such as the triangle. Thus Fekete points might serve as an alternative to the Gauss­Lobatto points for certain applications. In this work we present a new algorithm to compute Fekete points and give results up to degree 19 for the triangle. For degree d > 10 these points have the smallest Lebesgue constant currently known. The computations validate a conjecture of Bos [J. Approx. Theory, 64 (1991), pp. 271–280] that Fekete points along the boundary of the triangle are the one-dimensional Gauss­Lobatto points.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2001/01// VL - 34 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 9 EP - 22 SN - 02786826 AB - This study evaluates the influence of denuder sampling methods and filter collection media on the measurement of semi-volatile organic carbon (SVOC) associated with PM[sub 2.5]. Two types of collection media, charcoal (activated carbon) and XAD, were used both in diffusion denuders and impregnated back-up filters in two different samplers, the VAPS and the PC-BOSS. The two organic diffusion denuders were XAD-coated glass annular denuders and charcoal-impregnated cellulose fiber filter (CIF) denuders. In addition, recently developed XAD-impregnated quartz filters were compared to CIF filters as back-up filter collection media. The two denuder types resulted in equivalent measurement of particulate organic carbon and particle mass. The major difference observed between the XAD and charcoal BOSS denuders is the higher efficiency of charcoal for collection of more volatile carbon. This more volatile carbon does not contribute substantially to the particle mass or SVOC measured as OC on quartz filters downstream of the denuders. This volatile carbon does result in high OC concentrations observed in charcoal filters placed behind quartz filters downstream of the XAD denuders and would result in overestimating the SVOC in that configuration.

We hoped to compare the compositions of two stylistically different ceramics found at Huating, and to evaluate the degree of compositional clustering and inter-site resolution that could be expected in an area that is noted for its extensive, and possibly very homogeneous, loess deposits. In addition, pottery sherds from Huating have been examined by microscopic petrography. All of these results will provide needed input in the planning of research towards the formation of a Neolithic/Shang Dynasty ceramic database for future use in archaeological research in China.

JO - Biomarkers JF - Biomarkers Y1 - 2001/01// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 33 EP - 44 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 1354750X AB - Aquatic ecosystems can be chronically stressed by multiple environmental factors which originate from a variety of point and non-point sources. In addition, these stressors may vary both spatially and temporally, and, combined with synergestic and cumulative interactions of these stressors, complicate the interpretation and evaluation of stress responses in organisms. To help identify and differentiate between sources of anthropogenic stressors in aquatic systems, a diagnostic approach based on exposure-response profiles in sentinel organisms was developed from the known effects of various anthropogenic activities on biological systems. To generate these exposure-effects profiles, biomarkers of exposure were plotted against bioindicators of corresponding effects for several major anthropogenic activities including petrochemical, pulp and paper, domestic sewage, mining operations, land-development, and agricultural activities. Biomarkers of exposure to environmental stressors varied widely depending on the type of anthropogenic activity involved. Bioindicator effects, however, including histopathological lesions, bioenergetic status, growth, reproductive impairment, and community-level endpoints were similar among several of the major anthropogenic activities because responses at these higher levels are less specific to stressors than are biomarkers. This approach appears useful for helping to identify and diagnose sources of stress in environments impacted by multiple stressors. By identifying the types and sources of environmental stressors impacting key components of biological systems, aquatic ecosystems can be more effectively protected, regulated, and managed to help improve and maintain environmental quality and ecosystem fitness.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2001/01// VL - 2 M3 - Article SP - 5 EP - 15 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: Prediction of protein structures is one of the fundamental challenges in biology today. To fully understand how well different prediction methods perform, it is necessary to use measures that evaluate their performance. Every two years, starting in 1994, the CASP (Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction) process has been organized to evaluate the ability of different predictors to blindly predict the structure of proteins. To capture different features of the models, several measures have been developed during the CASP processes. However, these measures have not been examined in detail before. In an attempt to develop fully automatic measures that can be used in CASP, as well as in other type of benchmarking experiments, we have compared twenty-one measures. These measures include the measures used in CASP3 and CASP2 as well as have measures introduced later. We have studied their ability to distinguish between the better and worse models submitted to CASP3 and the correlation between them. Results: Using a small set of 1340 models for 23 different targets we show that most methods correlate with each other. Most pairs of measures show a correlation coefficient of about 0.5. The correlation is slightly higher for measures of similar types. We found that a significant problem when developing automatic measures is how to deal with proteins of different length. Also the comparisons between different measures is complicated as many measures are dependent on the size of the target. We show that the manual assessment can be reproduced to about 70% using automatic measures. Alignment independent measures, detects slightly more of the models with the correct fold, while alignment dependent measures agree better when selecting the best models for each target. Finally we show that using automatic measures would, to a large extent, reproduce the assessors ranking of the predictors at CASP3. Conclusions: We show that given a sufficient number of targets the manual and automatic measures would have given almost identical results at CASP3. If the intent is to reproduce the type of scoring done by the manual assessor in in CASP3, the best approach might be to use a combination of alignment independent and alignment dependent measures, as used in several recent studies.

JO - BMC Nuclear Medicine JF - BMC Nuclear Medicine Y1 - 2001/01// VL - 1 M3 - Article SP - 2 EP - 9 SN - 14712385 AB - Background: A study for pain relief therapy with 188Re-HEDP was done in patients with bone metastases secondary to breast and prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Patients received 1.3 or 2.2 GBq, in single or multiple doses. Platelets, white and red cells were evaluated during 11 weeks. Pharmacokinetic characterization was done from blood and urine samples for 5 patients along 24 hours. Urinary excretion was evaluated in other 16 patients during 6 hours. Bone uptake was estimated as remaining activity in whole body. Scintigraphic images were acquired at 2 and 24 hs post-administration. Absorbed dose in bone marrow was estimated with Mirdose3. Analgesics intake and pain score were daily recorded. Tumour markers (PSA, and Tn-structure) were monitored in 9 patients during 4 to 6 months. Single doses of low activity (1.3 GBq) were given to twelve patients. Nine patients received multiple doses. Results: All except one patient had normal levels of platelets, white and red cells. Remaining dose in blood at 2 hours was 9%. Urinary elimination was 58%. Bone uptake at 24 hours was 43% (mean value; n = 5). No changes of the haematological parameters were detected along follow-up period. Pain relief was evidenced by decrease or supression of opioid analgesic and by subjective index. PSA showed a decrease in prostate cancer patients (n = 4). Tn-structure showed a significant increase after 4 to 8 months. Conclusion: Single or multiple dose scheme could be safely used, with administered activity of 188Re-HEDP up to 60 mCi, with low bone marrow absorbed doses.

SN - 00068314 AB - This work examines circulatory patterns of air pollutants in the area of Barcelona (Spain), a region with strong coastal and orographic influences. This was achieved through exploitation of elastic-backscatter lidar data and by numerical simulation of the atmosphere with a meteorological mesoscale model (MEMO). Lidar data were acquired in July 1992 during a collaborative campaign between Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC). The lidar provided information about the distribution of aerosols and the prevailing winds, determined by application of a maximum cross-correlation algorithm to elastic-backscatter lidar data. Lidar winds are used to evaluate high altitude winds simulated by the model. This study showed that circulatory patterns in Barcelona are correlated with daytime convective vertical mixing, sea-breeze circulations, and vertical forcing caused by mountain thermal and mechanical effects.

JO - Contemporary Physics JF - Contemporary Physics Y1 - 2001/01//Jan/Feb2001 VL - 42 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 24 SN - 00107514 AB - Superfluidity has become a topic of active interest in the field of atom trap Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We motivate this line of research by placing the BEC developments against the general backdrop of the theory of superfluidity and by highlighting the advantages offered by the atom trap technology. We review the standard description of the BEC dynamics, as well as basic concepts of superfluidity and we present theoretical arguments for expecting the BECs to exhibit superfluid behaviour. In atom traps, as in condensed and nuclear matter, superfluidity can manifest itself in a manifold of guises. Moreover, some of its manifestations can even be undesirable, as we illustrate by the poignant example of sympathetic cooling with condensates. We also review recent experimental evidence for superfluid BEC behaviour and we suggest further experiments to probe superfluidity in atom traps. The low densities of the BECs allow optical imaging and imply that the relevant physics occurs on time and length scales that are much slower and larger than in the traditional [sup 4]He superfluid. Consequently, BEC experiments can study known superfluid phenomena and structures in a different and, perhaps, more detailed manner. In addition, the flexibility offered by existing techniques in atomic, molecular and optical physics is unprecedented in the field of low-temperature physics and suggests the prospect of creating superfluids of fundamentally novel structures. Finally, it is conceivable that new applications of superfluidity may arise from these studies.

SN - 0364152X AB - Correlative relationships exist among conductivity, alkalinity, and hardness in streams due to natural geological and climatological controls, but the relationships among these three water-quality factors can be altered strongly by inputs of ion-rich wastewaters. The degree of alteration can be monitored conveniently by use of a simple chemical perturbation index, computed by subtracting the sum of rank pairwise correlations among the conductivity, alkalinity, and hardness (for observations on each of these variables, measured through time) from 3.0. The chemical perturbation index can be used to document or characterize spatiotemporal changes in stream water quality. This study explains the development of the index's concept and provides examples of its application in an extensive stream monitoring program used to assess ecological conditions in streams on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation in east Tennessee, USA. The chemical perturbation index technique may be particularly useful in community-based stream monitoring programs because to its simplicity and low cost.

These data indicate that the residual double bond present in mature Class I ambers is not located in the A/B ring structure of these materials and that C17 of the original labdanoid precursors is retained in mature Class I ambers as a methyl group. These data also suggest that the reaction which results in formation of the residual unsaturated structure in mature ambers also results in a second covalent connection between the A/B ring system and the polymer backbone, probably through C8 of the original labdanoid structure.

At carcinogenic doses, DCA causes a large accumulation of liver glycogen. Thus, we studied the effects of DCA treatment on insulin levels and expression of insulin-controlled signaling proteins in the liver. DCA treatment (0.2–2.0 g/l in drinking water for 2 weeks) reduced serum insulin levels. The decrease persisted for at least 8 weeks. In livers of mice treated with DCA for 2-, 10-, and 52-week periods, insulin receptor (IR) protein levels were significantly depressed. Additionally, protein kinase B (PKBα) expression decreased significantly with DCA treatment. In normal liver, glycogen levels were increased as early as at 1 week, and this effect preceded changes in insulin and IR and PKBα. In contrast to normal liver, IR protein was elevated in DCA-induced liver tumors relative to that in liver tissue of untreated animals and to an even greater extent when compared to adjacent normal liver in the treated animal. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) phosphorylation was also increased in tumor tissue relative to normal liver tissue and tissue from untreated controls. These data suggest that normal hepatocytes down-regulate insulin-signaling proteins in response to the accumulation of liver glycogen caused by DCA. Futhermore, these results suggest that the initiated cell population, which does not accumulate glycogen and is promoted by DCA treatment, responds differently from normal hepatocytes to the insulin-like effects of this chemical. The differential sensitivity of the 2 cell populations may contribute to the tumorigenic effects of DCA in the liver.

IH DataView replaces a LANL legacy system, IHSD, that restricted user access to a single point of data entry needed enhancements that support new operational requirements, and was not Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. IH DataView features a comprehensive suite of data collection and tracking capabilities. Through the use of Oracle database management and application development tools, the system is Y2K compliant and Web enabled for easy deployment and user access via the Internet. System accessibility is particularly important because LANL operations are spread over 43 square miles, and industrial hygienists (IHs) located across the laboratory will use the system. IH DataView shows promise of being useful in the future because it eliminates these problems. It has a flexible architecture and sophisticated capability to collect, track, and analyze data in easy-to-use form.

A study has found that modern humans may have been healthy while the Neanderthal occupants may have suffered iodine-deficiency disorders. Different researchers have discussed the geography of Neanderthals and early modern humans but not the medical geography and physiology of iodine-deficiency disorders. The Châtelperronian conundrum is speculated to hold the key to understanding the spatially and genetically complex transition from Neanderthals to modern humans.

SN - 03438651 AB - The biotransformation of trichloroethylene (TCE) under various electron acceptor conditions was investigated by using enrichment cultures developed from the anaerobic digester sludge of Thibodaux sewage treatment plant. The results indicated that TCE was biotransformed under sulfate reducing, methanogenic, nitrate reducing, iron reducing, and fermenting conditions. However, the rates of TCE removal varied among the conditions studied. The fastest removal of TCE (100% removal in 9 days) was observed under mixed electron acceptor conditions, followed in order by methanogenic, fermenting, iron reducing, sulfate reducing, and nitrate reducing conditions. Under mixed electron acceptor conditions, the TCE was converted to ethene, which was further metabolized. Under sulfate and nitrate reducing conditions, the major metabolites produced from TCE metabolism were cis and trans dichloroethylene (DCE). Under methanogenic, iron reducing, and fermenting conditions, cis and trans DCE and ethene were produced from TCE metabolism. This study showed evidence for TCE metabolism in a mixed microbial population system similar to any contaminated field sites, where heterogeneous microbial population exists.

Here we report a 2.5 Å structure of the ssDNA-binding domain of human replication protein A (RPA) (eukaryotic SSB), for which we previously reported a structure in complex with ssDNA. A comparison of free and bound forms of RPA revealed that ssDNA binding is associated with a major reorientation between, and significant conformational changes within, the structural modules-OB-folds-which comprise the DNA-binding domain. Two OB-folds, whose tandem orientation was stabilized by the presence of DNA, adopted multiple orientations in its absence. Within the OB-folds, extended loops implicated in DNA binding significantly changed conformation in the absence of DNA. Analysis of intermolecular contacts suggested the possibility that other RPA molecules and/or other proteins could compete with DNA for the same binding site. Using this mechanism, protein-protein interactions can regulate, and/or be regulated by DNA binding. Combined with available biochemical data, this structure also suggested a dynamic model for the DNA-binding mechanism.

To better understand their characteristics and life cycles, surface data from the Seoul Weather Station (SWS) and surface and 850-hPa wind field data covering northeast Asia around the Korean Peninsula were used for the analysis. In the July 1992 episode, westerly winds were most frequent as a result of the influence of a high-pressure system west of the Korean Peninsula behind a trough. In contrast, in the July 1994 episode, easterly winds were most frequent as a result of the effect of a typhoon moving north from the south of Japan. Despite different prevailing wind directions, the peak O3 concentrations for each episode occurred when a sea/land breeze developed in association with weak synoptic forcing. The August 1994 episode, which was selected as being representative of calm conditions, was another typical example in which a well-developed sea/land breeze helped cause the peak O3 concentration to rise to a record high of 322 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). All three high O3 episodes ended as a result of precipitation, and subsequent rises in O3 concentrations were also suppressed by a series of precipitation events afterwards. In particular, two heavy rainfalls were the main reason why the August 1994 episode, which had the highest and second-highest O3 concentrations, lasted only a few days.

JO - Molecular Microbiology JF - Molecular Microbiology Y1 - 2001/02// VL - 39 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 567 EP - 580 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0950382X AB - FlhD is a 13.3 kDa transcriptional activator protein of flagellar genes and a global regulator. FlhD activates the transcription of class II operons in the flagellar regulon when complexed with a second protein FlhC (21.5 kDa). FlhD also regulates other expression systems in Escherichia coli . We are seeking to understand this plasticity of FlhD's DNA-binding specificity and, to this end, we have determined the crystal structure of the isolated FlhD protein. The structure was solved by substituting seleno-methionine for natural sulphur-methionine in FlhD, crystallizing the protein and determining the structure factor phases by the method of multiple-energy anomalous dispersion (MAD). The FlhD protein is dimeric. The dimer is tightly coupled, with an intimate contact surface, implying that the dimer does not easily dissociate. The FlhD monomer is predominantly α-helical. The C-termini of both FlhD monomers (residues 83–116) are completely disrupted by crystal packing, implying that this region of FlhD is highly flexible. However, part of the C-terminus structure in chain A (residues 83–98) was modelled using a native FlhD crystal. What is seen in chain A suggests a classic DNA-binding, helix–turn–helix (HTH) motif. FlhD does not bind DNA by itself, so it may be that the DNA-binding HTH motif becomes rigidly defined only when FlhD forms a complex with some other protein, such as FlhC. If this were true, it might explain how FlhD exhibits plasticity in its DNA-binding specificity, as each partner protein with which it forms a complex could allosterically affect the binding specificity of its HTH motif. A disulphide bridge is seen between the unique cysteine residues (Cys-65) of FlhD native homodimers. Alanine substitution at Cys-65 does not affect FlhD transcription activator activity, suggesting that the disulphide bond is not necessary for either dimer stability or this function of FlhD. Electrostatic potential analysis indicates...

In contrast to the historic, labour-intensive, wet-laboratory methods for identifying regulatory sequences, many modern approaches are heavily focused on the computational analysis of large genomic data sets. Data from inter-species genomic sequence comparisons and genome-wide expression profiling, integrated with various computational tools, are poised to contribute to the decoding of genomic sequence and to the identification of those sequences that orchestrate gene regulation. In this review, we highlight several genomic approaches that are being used to identify regulatory sequences in mammalian genomes.

Maximum conditions experienced by the solutions lasted0.85–2.7 μs and ranged from 5.1–21 GPa and 412–870 K. Recovered sample capsules were milled open and liquid wasextracted. Samples were analyzed using high performanceliquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS). In all experiments, a large fraction of the amino acidssurvived. We observed differences in kinetic behavior andthe degree of survivability among the amino acids. Aminobutyricacid appeared to be the least reactive, and phenylalanine appeared to be the most reactive of the amino acids. The impact process resulted in the formation of peptide bonds; new compounds included amino acid dimers and cyclic diketopiperazines. In our experiments, and in certain naturally occurring impacts, pressure has a greater influencethan temperature in determining reaction pathways. Our resultssupport the hypothesis that significant concentrations of organic material could survive a natural impact process.

JO - Transportation Science JF - Transportation Science Y1 - 2001/02// VL - 35 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 PB - INFORMS: Institute for Operations Research SN - 00411655 AB - Traditional models of route generation are based on choosing routes that minimize expected travel-time between origin and destination. Such approaches do not account for the fact that travelers often incorporate travel-time variability within their decision making. Thus, a route with lower travel-time variability is preferred by some travelers, even if such a route is not one with the lowest mean travel-time. Such traveler behavior is best captured by a multiobjective model in which the choice of a route is based on the mean as well as the variance of the path travel-time. Our route-planning model is intended to help travelers make choices that reflect their decision-making process better. We formulate a network flow multiobjective model in which one of the objectives (expectation) is linear, whereas, the other (variance) is quadratic. In order to present the user with a series of options, we solve a series of parametric 0–1 quadratic integer programs. By utilizing the network structure of the problem, we devise an effective algorithm in which the 0–1 quadratic program is solved by using a continuous relaxation together with an enumeration of some selected paths. Finally, we note that the data requirements for the model can be easily satisfied in practice.

SN - 00496979 AB - Air/surface exchange of mercury was investigated over background soils at five sites in the Tahquamenon River watershed in the Michigan Upper Peninsula in the summer of 1998. Measurements of Hg fluxes were performed during midday periods using the ORNL Teflon dynamic flux chamber. Mean Hg emission fluxes were 1.4±0.3–2.4±1.0 ng m-2 hr-1 for three shaded forest sites and 7.6±1.7 ng m-2 hr-1 for an open field site. Hg dry deposition was observed at a heavily shaded forest site over wet soils (mean = –0.3±0.2 ng m-2 hr-1). The overall mean Hg flux was 1.4±1.4 ng m-2 hr-1 for the four shaded forest sites. The Hg fluxes observed at these sites are similar to those found at other northern background sites. Significant, rapid response of Hg emission to solar radiation was observed over these background soils. Artificial irrigation over these soils induced immediate and measurable increases in Hg emission. Soil temperature was found to be less influential to Hg air/surface exchange over these heavily shaded forest background soils than we have seen elsewhere.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2001/02/02/ VL - 126 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 487 EP - 499 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00298549 AB - Dynamic responses of understory plants to sunflecks have been extensively studied, but how much differences in dynamic light responses affect daily photosynthesis (Aday) is still the subject of active research. Recent models of dynamic photosynthesis have provided a quantitative tool that allows the critical assessment of the importance of these sunfleck responses on Aday. Here we used a dynamic photosynthesis model to assess differences in four species that were growing in ambient and elevated CO2. We hypothesized that Liriodendron tulipifera, a species with rapid photosynthetic induction gain and slow induction loss, would have the least limitations to sunfleck photosynthesis relative to the other three species (Acer rubrum, Cornus florida, Liquidambar styraciflua). As a consequence, L. tulipifera should have the highest Aday in an understory environment, despite being the least shade tolerant of the species tested. We further hypothesized that daily photosynthetic enhancement by elevated CO2 would differ from enhancement levels observed during light-saturated, steady-state measurements. Both hypotheses were supported by the model results under conditions of low daily photosynthetic photon flux density (PFD; <3% of the above-canopy PFD). However, under moderate PFD (10–20% of the above-canopy PFD), differences in dynamic sunfleck responses had no direct impact on Aday for any of the species, since stomatal and photosynthetic induction limitations to sunfleck photosynthesis were small. Thus, the relative species ranking in Aday under moderate PFD closely matched their rankings in steady-state measurements of light-saturated photosynthesis. Similarly, under elevated CO2, enhancement of modeled Aday over Aday at ambient CO2 matched the enhancement measured under light saturation. Thus, the effects of species-specific differences in dynamic sunfleck responses, and differences in elevated CO2 responses of daily photosynthesis, are most important in marginal light environments.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2001/02/02/ VL - 126 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 543 EP - 562 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00298549 AB - Climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions is predicted to raise the mean global temperature by 1.0–3.5°C in the next 50–100 years. The direct and indirect effects of this potential increase in temperature on terrestrial ecosystems and ecosystem processes are likely to be complex and highly varied in time and space. The Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme has recently launched a Network of Ecosystem Warming Studies, the goals of which are to integrate and foster research on ecosystem-level effects of rising temperature. In this paper, we use meta-analysis to synthesize data on the response of soil respiration, net N mineralization, and aboveground plant productivity to experimental ecosystem warming at 32 research sites representing four broadly defined biomes, including high (latitude or altitude) tundra, low tundra, grassland, and forest. Warming methods included electrical heat-resistance ground cables, greenhouses, vented and unvented field chambers, overhead infrared lamps, and passive night-time warming. Although results from individual sites showed considerable variation in response to warming, results from the meta-analysis showed that, across all sites and years, 2–9 years of experimental warming in the range 0.3–6.0°C significantly increased soil respiration rates by 20% (with a 95% confidence interval of 18–22%), net N mineralization rates by 46% (with a 95% confidence interval of 30–64%), and plant productivity by 19% (with a 95% confidence interval of 15–23%). The response of soil respiration to warming was generally larger in forested ecosystems compared to low tundra and grassland ecosystems, and the response of plant productivity was generally larger in low tundra ecosystems than in forest and grassland ecosystems. With the exception of aboveground plant productivity, which showed a greater positive response to warming in colder ecosystems, the magnitude of the response of these three processes to experimental warming was not generally significantly related to the geographic, climatic, or environmental variables evaluated in this analysis. This underscores the need to understand the relative importance of specific factors (such as temperature, moisture, site quality, vegetation type, successional status, land-use history, etc.) at different spatial and temporal scales, and suggests that we should be cautious in "scaling up" responses from the plot and site level to the landscape and biome level. Overall, ecosystem-warming experiments are shown to provide valuable insights on the response of terrestrial ecosystems to elevated temperature.

These three data sets directly probe the mass in the Universe, without the need to relate the galaxy distribution to the underlying mass via a ‘biasing’ relation. We include the recent results from the CMB experiments BOOMERANG and MAXIMA-1. Our analysis assumes a flat Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology with a scale-invariant adiabatic initial power spectrum and baryonic fraction as inferred from big-bang nucleosynthesis. We find that all three data sets agree well, overlapping significantly at the 2σ level. This therefore justifies a joint analysis, in which we find a joint best-fitting point and 95 per cent confidence limits of Ω [sub m[sup -] ] = 0.28 (0.17,0.39), h[sup -] = 0.74 (0.64,0.86) and σ [sub 8 ] = 1.17 (0.98,1.37). In terms of the natural parameter combinations for these data σ [sub 8 ] Ω m[sup -] 0.6 = 0.54 (0.40,0.73), Ω [sub m[sup -] ] h[sup -] = 0.21 (0.16,0.27).

JO - CaTTech JF - CaTTech Y1 - 2001/03// VL - 4 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 110 EP - 126 SN - 13846566 AB - In the last decade of the 20th century, we have witnessed a resurgence of interest in fuel cell technology, a technology whose basic principles were demonstrated in the mid-19th century. One of the drivers of this resurgence is the use of hydrogen as a transportation fuel, and the certification by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) of a hydrogen - air fuel cell powered vehicle as a "zero emission vehicle" or ZEV. Another driver is the simplicity of construction and assembly of fuel cell stacks when a polymer membrane is used as the electrolyte versus the more conventional aqueous electrolyte. The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell offers the promise of substantially lower cost for the cell hardware. Unfortunately, two of the fundamental catalytic limitations that have plagued fuel cells for more than a century still remain: 1.) it is difficult to use any fuel other than highly purified hydrogen; 2.) there has been no cost-effective replacement of Pt as the electrocatalyst. Fortunately, there are signs that help is on the way, particularly with respect to the development of new electrocatalysts for electrooxidation of impure hydrogen, e.g. CO-contaminated, or even syngas. In this article, we describe some of these developments, which have come from over two decades of basic research on electrocatalysis.

Crystal structures of OspC have been determined for strains HB19 and B31 to 1.8 and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. The three-dimensional structure is predominantly helical. This is in contrast to the structure of OspA, a major surface protein mainly present when spirochetes are residing in the midgut of unfed ticks, which is mostly β-sheet. The surface of OspC that would project away from the spirochete's membrane has a region of strong negative electrostatic potential which may be involved in binding to positively charged host ligands. This feature is present only on OspCs from strains known to cause invasive human disease.

EPSAs adaptively modify the step size of the mutation operator in response to the success of previous optimization steps. The design of EPSAs is inspired by recent analyses of pattern search methods. We show that EPSAs can be cast as stochastic pattern search methods, and we use this observation to prove that EPSAs have a probabilistic, weak stationary point convergence theory. This convergence theory is distinguished by the fact that the analysis does not approximate the stochastic process of EPSAs, and hence it exactly characterizes their convergence properties.

However, rats are less sensitive to the hepatotoxic effects of CCl4 than the other two species. The purpose of this study was to compare the uptake, tissue distribution, and elimination of CCl[sub 4] by these three rodent species. Groups of 20 F344/Crl BR rats, B6C3F[sub 1] mice, and Syrian hamsters were exposed by nose-only inhalation for 4 h to 20 ppm [sup 14]C-labeled CCl[sub 4]. The fate of [sup 14]C was followed in tissues, excreta, and exhaled breath for 48 h after the exposure. At the end of the exposure, concentrations of CCl[sub 4] equivalents (CE) in tissue were highest in liver of rats and mice, but highest in fat for rats. The liver received the highest dose of CCl[sub 4] equivalents with the following species ranking: mouse > hamster > rat. Patterns of CE elimination were species and tissue dependent, with the majority of elimination occurring within 48 h after exposure. Rats eliminated less radioactivity associated with metabolism ([sup 14]CO[sub 2], urine and feces) and more radioactivity associated with parent compound (exhaled activity trapped on charcoal) than did mice or hamsters. The results indicate that ranking of species sensitivity to the hepatotoxic effects of inhaled CCl[sub 4] correlates with CE dose to liver and with the ability to metabolize CCl[sub 4].

Since cells are imaged in the X-ray transmissive ‘water window’, where organic material absorbs approximately an order of magnitude more strongly than water, chemical contrast enhancement agents are not required to view the distribution of cellular structures. Although living specimens cannot be examined, cells can be rapidly frozen at a precise moment in time and examined in a cryostage, revealing information that most closely approximates that in live cells. In this study, we used a transmission X-ray microscope at photon energies just below the oxygen edge (λ = 2.4 nm) to examine rapidly frozen mouse 3T3 cells and obtained excellent cellular morphology at better than 50 nm lateral resolution. These specimens are extremely stable, enabling multiple exposures with virtually no detectable damage to cell structures. We also show that silver-enhanced, immunogold labelling can be used to localize both cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins in whole, hydrated mammary epithelial cells at better than 50 nm resolution. The future use of X-ray tomography, along with improved zone plate lenses, will enable collection of better resolution (approaching 30 nm), three-dimensional information on the distribution of proteins in cells.

However, this method often fails when the nuclei are tightly clustered in the tissue, because there is little evidence from the images on where the borders of the nuclei are. In this paper we present a method which solves this limitation and furthermore enables segmentation of whole cells. Instead of using volume stains, we used stains that specifically label the surface of nuclei or cells: lamins for the nuclear envelope and alpha-6 or beta-1 integrins for the cellular surface. The segmentation is performed by identifying unique seeds for each nucleus/cell and expanding the boundaries of the seeds until they reach the limits of the nucleus/cell, as delimited by the lamin or integrin staining, using gradient-curvature flow techniques. We tested the algorithm using computer-generated objects to evaluate its robustness against noise and applied it to cells in culture and to tissue specimens. In all the cases that we present the algorithm gave accurate results.

Current monitoring approaches for Np do not rely on material balance accounting as is used for uranium and plutonium. In the future this may change. Although full material balance accounting is not anticipated for Np, it is informative to evaluate the impact and benefit of full material balance accounting when considering other options. Therefore, this paper will apply systems analysis to evaluate ways to convert the current system to full materials balance accounting that will minimize the intrusiveness of the verification system and minimize costs to both the facility operator and the inspection agency. We then compare full material balance accounting to partial material balance accounting and to a ratio-monitoring technique referred to as flow sheet verification. We conclude that sampling approximately 25% of the batches is likely to be adequate and that Pu (or perhaps137Cs) will be the most effective surrogate for estimating the Np in the input accountability tank.

The mice were bred to be heterozygous at the Dlb-1 locus so that loss of the dominant Dlb-1 b allele by mutation could be detected. Mice were fed the AIN-76A diet (which contains 50% of the calories in the form of sucrose) or an isocaloric diet in which the sucrose was replaced by meat or fish, for 5 or 9 weeks. Manifestation of mutants requires ~1 week in this system, so this corresponds to an effective exposure of 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. There was no significant difference in the weights of animals on the different diets, and no difference in mutant frequency. Several food mutagens were present, but at low levels. These results, when considered in the light of tests of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b] pyridine and amino(α)carboline at much higher doses (Zhang,X.-B., Tao,K.S., Urlando,C., Shaver-Walker,P. and Heddle,J.A. (1996) Mutagenesis, 11, 43–48), indicate that there is no highly mutagenic compound missed by previous testing with bacterial assays and that mixtures of heterocyclic amines at low levels do not show great synergy.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2001/03// VL - 60 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 184 EP - 192 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Lactation-induced increases in cadmium absorption and retention have been demonstrated in mid-lactating mice, but no systematic measurements of endogenous metal-binding protein concentrations during lactation have been reported. Using Cd/hemoglobin radioassay, this study detected significant increases in metallothionein (MT) concentrations in liver (4-fold), kidneys (2-fold), and duodenum (2-fold), but not jejunum, of mouse dams on days 13 and 20 of lactation. These increases occurred in the absence of cadmium exposure and were specific to the lactation period; dams 5 days after weaning showed MT levels that were similar to those of nonpregnant (NP) mice. Similarly, Northern blot analyses of livers from lactating mice demonstrated that MT mRNA concentrations in maternal liver during mid-lactation were 6-fold higher than those observed 5 days after pups were weaned. Gel filtration of final supernatants from the Cd/hemoglobin assay confirmed that the Cd-binding molecule induced during lactation was indeed metallothionein. In addition, chromatographic analyses of cytosols from tissues taken from dams administered small amounts of Cd (66 ng/mouse) showed that the trace amounts of Cd absorbed through the maternal gastrointestinal tract during mid-lactation were also bound to the MT. These results indicate MT induction in mouse dams occurs as a physiological consequence of lactation, requiring no external stimulus. This induced MT participates in binding low levels of dietary cadmium consumed by the dam. During lactation, elevated maternal MT may affect pathways for essential trace metals as well as sequester toxic metals harmful to the neonate. Multiparous humans may have increased risk of accumulating environmental Cd.

SN - 00496979 AB - Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum), johnson grass (Sorghum halpense) and switchgrass (Panicum virginatum) were compared for their ability to accumulate 137Cs and 90Sr from three different contaminated soils in the presence and absence of either sphagnum peat or poultry litter amendments. Above-ground plant biomass did not differ between plants that were not exposed to these radionuclides and those that were exposed to soil containing 137Cs or 90Sr. After three harvests, bahia, johnson and switchgrass plants accumulated from 17.2 to 67.3% of the 137Cs and from 25.1 to 61.7% of the 90Sr added to the soil. Poultry litter and peat moss amendments increased aboveground plant biomass, activity of 137Cs or 90Sr in plant tissue, % accumulation of 137Cs or 90Sr from soil and the plant bioconcentration ratio at each harvest compared to the control (no amendment) treatment. The greatest increases in plant biomass, and radionuclide accumulation were observed with poultry litter for each of the three grass species. Johnson grass had greater aboveground plant biomass, activity of 137Cs and 90Sr in plant tissue, % accumulation of 137Cs or 90Sr from soil and bioconcentration ratio in each soil amendment, at each harvest compared to bahia and switchgrass. The greatest accumulation of 137Cs and 90Sr was measured in johnson grass grown in soil that was amended with poultry litter. These results suggest that plant species selection and agronomic practices may need to be considered to maximize phytoremediation of radionuclide contaminated soils.

SN - 03781909 AB - Most of the world's large rivers are fragmented by dams. Fragmentation of the river ecosystem alters migration patterns among fish populations and converts free-flowing river to reservoir habitat. In this study, we used an individual-based genetic metapopulation model to study the effects of fragmentation on the population viability and genetic diversity of a large-river fish, the white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus. In the first of two simulation experiments, we fragmented a 200 km river reach by building 1 to 20 virtual dams. Increased fragmentation produced an exponential decline in the likelihood of persistence, but no extinction threshold to suggest a minimum viable length of river. Compounding isolation with the loss of free-flowing habitat did not further reduce viability until free-flowing habitat was nearly eliminated, at which point extinction was certain. Genetic diversity within (among) populations decreased (increased) as we ‘built’ the first several dams. Adding more dams caused the number of persisting populations to decline and eroded genetic diversity within and among populations. Our second simulation experiment evaluated the effects of different levels of upstream and downstream migration between river segments. The results of these migration experiments highlighted the importance of balanced migration rates. We found that extinction risk was high for populations linked by high downstream, and low upstream, migration rates, as is often the case in impounded rivers. Our results support the view that migration patterns will play a significant role in determining the viability of riverine fishes, such as the white sturgeon, in river ecosystems fragmented by dams.

(11.1 fmol UQ9 µL-1). This corresponds to about 1.29 × 107 cells of Pseudomonas putida. Highest sensitivity is achieved using flow-injection analysis with multiple reaction monitoring wherein ammoniated molecular ions of specific isoprenologues pass through quadrupole one, are collisionally dissociated in quadrupole two and identified from the product ion fragment at m/z 197.1 in quadrupole three. This assay has a repeatability of between 6% and 10% over three orders of magnitude (r2 = 0.996). Quinone profiling based on dominant isoprenologue patterns provides taxonomic insights. Detection of prominent UQ isoprenologues indicates presence of microeukaryotes and α Proteobacteria with UQ10, obligatory aerobic Gram-negative bacteria with UQ4-14, facultative Gram-negative (and some γ Proteobacteria growing in microniches with oxygen or to a much lesser extent nitrate as a terminal electron acceptor with UQ8, and other γ Proteobacteria with UQ9. High sensitivity is essential as the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) to UQ molar ratios are 130 or greater. Previous studies have established that recovery of sediment communities with high PLFA/UQ ratios corresponded to areas of aerobic metabolism, an important consideration in bioremediation or nuclide mobilization.

Attempts at determining the physiological basis of species’ differences, such as the ability to grow in deep shade, have been of limited success. However, this basis is fundamental to predicting species’ responses to rising atmospheric CO2 in the forest understorey. We linked a leaf photosynthesis and a tree architecture model to predict the effects of dynamic and steady state photosynthetic characteristics, crown architecture and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) on crown-level carbon gain (Acrown). Twenty-four-h Acrown was modelled for shade-tolerant Acer rubrum and shade-intolerant Liriodendron tulipifera saplings growing for three years in a forest understorey under ambient and elevated [CO2] in free-air CO2 enrichment. 2. Two factors best explained Acrown in ambient [CO2]: tree light environment and sapling allometry. Microsite light environment influenced carbon gain via daily photosynthetic photon flux (PFD), average diffuse PFD and sunfleck characteristics. Species differences in specific leaf area (SLA) and size-related biomass allocation to leaves affected the effective leaf area and hence Acrown. 3. At a common above-ground biomass, small saplings (100 g above-ground dry mass) of L. tulipifera had higher Acrown than A. rubrum samples due to larger SLA and greater biomass allocation to leaves. Larger saplings of the two species had similar Acrown due to greater carbon allocation to leaves with increasing plant size in A. rubrum vs L. tulipifera. For saplings > 800 g, Acrown was greater in A. rubrum than in L. tulipifera. Enhancement of Acrown by elevated [CO2] on sunny days was similar for both species. 4. Overall, though the shade-tolerant species had lower Acrown than the shade-intolerant species at a common small size, our results indicate that the relative performance of these species can reverse at larger sizes due to allocational differences. These results suggest that elevated [CO2] may accelerate competition for light between A. rubrum and L. tulipifera as these species grow larger in the understorey.

Daily precipitation is modeled as a mixture of two stochastic processes: a binary occurrence process and a continuous intensity process, both exhibiting serial correlation. The parameters of these processes (e.g., the proportion of wet days and the average wet-day precipitation intensity in a month) are derived from the forecast record. Parameter uncertainty is characterized via an empirical Bayesian model, whereby such parameters are modeled as random with a specific joint probability distribution. The hyperparameters specifying this probability distribution are derived from historical precipitation records at the study basin. Simulated parameter values are then generated using the Bayesian model, leading to alternative synthetic daily precipitation records simulated via the stochastic precipitation model. The set of such synthetic precipitation records is finally input to a physically based deterministic hydrologic model for propagating uncertainty in forecasted precipitation to hydrologic impact assessment studies. The stochastic simulation approach is applied for generating an ensemble (set) of synthetic area-averaged daily precipitation records at the Hopland basin in the northern California Coast Range for the winter months (December through February: DJF) of 1997/98. The parameters of the stochastic precipitation model are derived from a seasonal precipitation forecast based on the Regional Climate System Model (RCSM), available at a 36-km² grid spacing. The large-scale forcing input to RCSM for dynamical downscaling was a seasonal prediction of the University of California, Los Angeles, Atmospheric General Circulation Model. A semidistributed deterministic hydrologic model ("TOPMODEL") is then used for calculating the streamflow response for each member of the area-averaged precipitation ensemble set. Uncertainty in the parameters of the stochastic precipitation model is finally propagated to associated streamflow response, by considering parameter values derived from historical (DJF 1958-92) area-averaged precipitation records at Hopland.

The results show a bimodal frequency distribution of BC concentrations. Approximately 65% of the measurements were found in a mode at a low range of concentrations centered at ∼20 ng/m³. These concentrations are higher than those found at other remote Antarctic locations and probably represent contamination from the station. The remaining measurements were in a high-concentration mode (BC ∼300 ng/m³), indicating direct impact of local emissions from combustion activities at the station. High values of BC were associated with winds from the direction of the station, and the BC flux showed a clear directionality. Maximum BC concentrations occurred between 7:00 and 11:00 a.m. The "polluted" mode accounted for more than 80% of the BC frequency-weighted impact at this location.

SN - 00298549 AB - The results of published and unpublished experiments investigating the impacts of elevated [CO2] on the chemistry of leaf litter and decomposition of plant tissues are summarized. The data do not support the hypothesis that changes in leaf litter chemistry often associated with growing plants under elevated [CO2] have an impact on decomposition processes. A meta-analysis of data from naturally senesced leaves in field experiments showed that the nitrogen (N) concentration in leaf litter was 7.1% lower in elevated [CO2] compared to that in ambient [CO2]. This statistically significant difference was: (1) usually not significant in individual experiments, (2) much less than that often observed in green leaves, and (3) less in leaves with an N concentration indicative of complete N resorption. Under ideal conditions, the efficiency with which N is resorbed during leaf senescence was found not to be altered by CO2 enrichment, but other environmental influences on resorption inevitably increase the variability in litter N concentration. Nevertheless, the small but consistent decline in leaf litter N concentration in many experiments, coupled with a 6.5% increase in lignin concentration, would be predicted to result in a slower decomposition rate in CO2-enriched litter. However, across the assembled data base, neither mass loss nor respiration rates from litter produced in elevated [CO2] showed any consistent pattern or differences from litter grown in ambient [CO2]. The effects of [CO2] on litter chemistry or decomposition were usually smallest under experimental conditions similar to natural field conditions, including open-field exposure, plants free-rooted in the ground, and complete senescence. It is concluded that any changes in decomposition rates resulting from exposure of plants to elevated [CO2] are small when compared to other potential impacts of elevated [CO2] on carbon and N cycling. Reasons for experimental differences are considered, and recommendations for the design and execution of decomposition experiments using materials from CO2-enrichment experiments are outlined.

The problem formulation and exposure analysis phases are presented in this article; an analysis of effects and risk characterization is presented in a companion article. The intent of this article is threefold: (1) to illustrate the development of a generic framework for the ecological risk assessment of an activity, (2) to show how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ecological risk assessment paradigm can be applied to an activity other than the release of a chemical, and (3) to provide guidance for the assessment of ecological risks from low-altitude aircraft overflights. The key stressor for low-altitude aircraft overflights is usually sound, although visual and physical (collision) stressors may also be significant. Susceptible and regulated wildlife populations are the major assessment endpoint entities, although plant communities may be impacted by takeoffs and landings. The exposure analysis utilizes measurements of wildlife locations, measurements of sound levels at the wildlife locations, measurements of slant distances from aircraft to wildlife, models that extrapolate sound from the source aircraft to the ground, and bird-strike probability models. Some of the challenges to conducting a risk assessment for aircraft overflights include prioritizing potential stressors and endpoints, choosing exposure metrics that relate to wildlife responses, obtaining good estimates of sound or distance, and estimating wildlife locations.

We start by recasting the boundary-value problem in the form of an integral equation where the parameters and domain of integration are random. Our analysis of this equation consists of expanding the random integrals in Taylor's series about the mean position of the free boundary and taking the ensemble mean. To quantify the uncertainty associated with such predictions, we also develop a set of integro-differential equations satisfied by the corresponding second ensemble moments. The resulting moment equations require closure approximations to be workable. We derive such closures by means of perturbation expansions in powers of the variance of the logarithm of hydraulic conductivity. Though this formally limits our solutions to mildly heterogeneous porous media, our analytical solutions for one-dimensional flows demonstrate that such perturbation expansions may remain robust for relatively large values of the variance of the logarithm of hydraulic conductivity.

In 1993, a stand-level experiment was initiated on Walker Branch Watershed, Tennessee, to study the sensitivity of forest saplings and large trees to changes in soil water content. Soil water content was manipulated by gravity-driven transfer of precipitation throughfall from a dry treatment plot (−33%) to a wet treatment plot (+33%). A control plot was included. Each plot was 6400 m2. Measurements of stem diameter and observations of mortality were made on large trees and saplings of Acer rubrum L., Cornus florida L., Liriodendron tulipifera L., Nyssa sylvatica Marsh, Quercus alba L. and Quercus prinus L. every 2 weeks during six growing seasons. Saplings of C. florida and A. rubrum grew faster and mortality was less on the wet plot compared with the dry and control plots, through 6 years of soil water manipulation. Conversely, diameter growth of large trees was unaffected by the treatments. However, tree diameter growth averaged across treatments was affected by year-to-year changes in soil water status. Growth in wet years was as much as 2–3 times greater than in dry years. Relationships between tree growth, phenology and soil water potential were consistent among species and quantitative expressions were developed for application in models. These field growth data indicate that differences in seasonal patterns of rainfall within and between years have greater impacts on growth than percentage changes in rainfall applied to all rainfall events.

Recently, we have been able to narrow down the breakpoint region affected in two cell lines to a region covered by a single PAC clone. Close to that region a candidate gene has been identified which we tentatively referred to as RITA (Rearranged In Thyroid Adenomas) now named ZNF331 according to HUGO nomenclature. However, the results had been obtained on two cell lines only making it necessary to extend the studies to a larger number of tumors including primary material. Herein, we have used four further primary tumors showing translocations involving 19q13 for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping studies using a variety of molecular probes from a 470-kbp cosmid/BAC contig. Ten new STSs were characterized and physically mapped within an Eco RI restriction map. The results enabled us to define an approximately 150-kbp breakpoint cluster region of the 19q13 aberrations in benign thyroid tumors flanked by two newly established STS markers. Copyright © 2001 S.

JO - Andrologia JF - Andrologia Y1 - 2001/05// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 150 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 03034569 AB - Summary. To be practical, any method for improving bull semen must yield a large quantity of motile spermatozoa. Some separation methods based on physical properties, e.g. filtration, chromatography, centrifugation, washing and pooling, have been reported as satisfactory, but generally are not repeatable. Nevertheless, filtration methods appear to allow the attainment of an acceptable number of spermatozoa, thus allowing such a technique to be introduced in the production of standard bovine semen doses for artificial insemination. The aim of this work was to evaluate systematically the relative effects of three filtration matrixes (silica oxide, glass beads or Sephadexä™) on the improvement of whole ejaculate quality. Analysis of the type of matrix and the volume and height of the filtration column was performed. The only characteristic of the columns that appears to influence ejaculate quality after filtering is the matrix volume. While all matrixes produced improvement of semen quality, SephadexTM was better than the other matrixes tested. An explanation for the mechanism of column filtration is proposed.

Participatory ergonomic intervention techniques have proven to be beneficial in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. The participatory approach to ergonomics has also been found to be a useful application within industrialized (developed) countries and industrially developing countries (IDCs). Grassroots Ergonomics principles utilize expertise within a workforce that focuses on participatory ergonomics interpretations of quantitative and qualitative risk and exposure assessment information that in turn results in a peer-developed ergonomics training. Regardless of the intricacy of the exposure assessment tools, workers should fully assist in gathering and analyzing data, then in identifying and implementing solutions. A coordinated and multidisciplinary application of this approach within IDCs would succeed in the creation and sharing of job-specific ergonomics training information for high physical exposure professions, such as agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining, and small-scale enterprises, to initiate ergonomics programs regionally.

The beryllium production processes included melting and casting, powder production, pressing, machining, and heat and surface treatments. As part of Cardiff's industrial hygiene program, extensive area measurements and personal lapel measurements of airborne beryllium concentrations were collected for Cardiff workers over the 36-year period of operation. In addition to extensive air monitoring, the beryllium control program also utilized surface contamination controls, building design, engineering controls, worker controls, material controls, and medical surveillance. The electronic database includes 367,757 area sampling records at 101 locations and 217,681 personal lapel sampling records collected from 194 employees over the period 1981-1997. Similar workplace samples were collected from 1961 to 1980, but they were not analyzed because they were not available electronically.Annual personal mean sampling concentrations for all workers ranged from 0.11 to 0.72 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m[sup 3]) with 95th percentiles ranging from 0.22 to 1.89 μg/m[sup 3]; foundry workers worked in the highest concentration areas with a mean of 0.87 μg/m[sup 3] and a 95th percentile of 2.9 μg/m[sup 3]. Area sampling concentrations, as expected, were lower than personal sampling concentrations. Mean annual area sample concentrations for all locations ranged from 0.02 to 0.32 μg/m[sup 3]. The area sample 95th percentile concentrations for all years were below 0.5 μg/m[sup 3]. For the overwhelming majority of samples, airborne beryllium concentrations were below the 2.0 μg/m[sup 3] standard. Although blood lymphocyte testing for beryllium sensitization has not been routinely conducted among these workers, this metal beryllium processing facility is the only large scale beryllium facility of its kind to have experienced only one unique a case of clinical chronic beryllium disease (CBD) ascertained by traditional medical monitoring procedures. The treating physician determined that this lung disease was likely caused by a systems reaction resulting from a mound contaminated with beryllium. However,he could not rule out the potential for inhalation exposure. Over the 17 years of measurement data analyzed, on occasion, airborne beryllium concentrations have exceeded 2.0 μg/m[sup 3]; however, the Cardiff experience demonstrates that strict and consistent adherence to exposure control measures that emphasized airborne and surface levels and appropriate engineering controls, work practices, and use of personal protective equipment appears to have successfully prevented the incidence of clinical CBD with the exception of one unique case.

SN - 10445498 AB - The aim of the present study was to identify the gene for sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) to evaluate the potential for tissue-specific alternative splicing and to analyze the activity of the SNX1 promoter. The coding DNA for SNX1 was divided between 15 exons in 43 kb of genomic DNA located on human chromosome 15q22. Although SNX1 mRNA expression was widespread in human tissues, alternative splicing is thought to generate skipped exons in SNX1 cDNAs. By determination of the SNX1 gene structure and an analysis of the mRNAs in a variety of tissues using RT-PCR, we demonstrated that SNX1 mRNAs are alternatively spliced. Exon-skipped products were less abundant than full-length SNX1 mRNA species, but the ratio of skipped to full-length mRNA indicated that alternative splicing may be developmentally regulated in the liver. Consistent with widespread mRNA expression, the SNX1 promoter was GC rich and lacked a TATA box, features characteristic of housekeeping promoters. The promoter activity was dependent on the presence of proximal sequences that contained initiator elements and predicted binding sites for the transcription factors Sp1 and E2F. These findings indicate that regulation of SNX1 gene expression at the transcriptional level is likely minor. Rather, developmentally specific exon skipping provides a potential mechanism for regulating the activity of SNX1.

The soil production rate varies with soil depth, hence local variation in soil depth may provide clues about spatial variation in erosion rates. If uplift and the consequent erosion rates are sufficiently uniform in space and time, then there will be tendency toward equilibrium landforms shaped by the erosional processes. Soil mantle thickness would adjust such that soil production matched the erosion. Previous work in the Oregon Coast Range suggested that there may be a tendency locally toward equilibrium between hillslope erosion and sediment yield. Here results from a new methodology based on cosmogenic radionuclide accumulation in bedrock minerals at the base of the soil column are reported. We quantify how soil production varies with soil thickness in the southern Oregon Coast Range and explore further the issue of landscape equilibrium. Apparent soil production is determined to be an inverse exponential function of soil depth, with a maximum inferred production rate of 268 m Ma−1 occurring under zero soil depth. This rate depends, however, on the degree of weathering of the underlying bedrock. The stochastic and large-scale nature of soil production by biogenic processes leads to large temporal and spatial variations in soil depth; the spatial variation of soil depth neither supports nor rejects equilibrium morphology. Our observed catchment-averaged erosion rate of 117 m Ma−1 is, however, similar to that estimated for the region by others, and to soil production rates under thin and intermediate soils typical for the steep ridges. We suggest that portions of the Oregon Coast Range may be eroding at roughly the same rate, but that local competition between drainage networks and episodic erosional events leads to landforms that are out of equilibrium locally and have a spatially varying soil mantle.

Target analytes included respirable suspended particulates, components of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A total of 60 non-smoking, non-occupational residents at homes in metropolitan Taegu, Korea, were recruited for this study. The subjects were classified into two groups, i.e. subjects living in homes with smokers and without smokers. Seasonal air samples were collected using three-channel personal samplers for each subject in two phases over a 24-hour period, i.e. awake time and sleeping time separately. Performance of sampling and analytical methods used for the simultaneous measurements of ETS and VOCs were evaluated with respect to sensitivity, repeatability and field application.Copyright © 2002 S.

This study was designed to identify the major technical factors that affect inter-scorer and inter-laboratory variability of the mESA assay. Two laboratories participated in this study (GSF and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, LLNL). Mice (102/E1xC3HIEl) F1 were exposed in one laboratory (GSF) to vinblastine (VBL; single intraperitoneal injection of 0, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mg/kg), one of the 10 priority compounds of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) Aneuploidy Program. Twenty-two days later the mESA assay was applied to analyze sperm aneuploidy. In the initial evaluation, small but statistically significant differences were found between the two laboratories in baseline frequencies and there was also disagreement in the determination of a VBL aneuploid effect. Therefore, experiments were conducted to identify the sources of the inter-laboratory differences and technical factors that affected assay reliability and the VBL study was repeated. A harmonization experiment was conducted by bringing the microscope scorers from both laboratories to the same site (LLNL) for a cross-training exercise. Following this exercise, a second group of VBL-treated and control mice were evaluated, and we concluded that VBL is not a sperm aneugen. Our research has identified scoring criteria as the major source of inter-laboratory variation and emphasizes the importance of strict technical controls for the mESA assay, including controlling slide preparations for treatment-induced reductions in sperm count, coding of slides and selection of statistical tests. These considerations are particularly important for the interpretation of small effects (≤2-fold) on sperm aneuploidy. Our findings suggest that 2-fold differences in frequencies can result from differences among scorers, samples and treatment groups, and are readily within the normal variation for the mESA assay. Such small differences should be viewed with caution until independently confirmed.

Understanding how CO2 and N effects interact is important to predict plant community response to global change. • Plants were field-grown in monoculture under current ambient and elevated (560 µmol mol-1 ) CO2 concentrations (free-air CO2 enrichment), in combination with soil N treatments, for two growing seasons. • All species, regardless of functional group, showed pronounced photosynthetic acclimation to elevated CO2 , resulting in minimal stimulation of photosynthesis (A ) averaging +15% in C3 grasses, +8% in forbs, +7% in legumes and -2% in C4 grasses. The effects of CO2 and soil N supply did not interact for any leaf traits measured. Elevated CO2 consistently decreased stomatal conductance (g s ) leading to 40% increase in A /g s . • This substantial acclimation of photosynthesis was greater in magnitude than in most field studies, and was associated with the combined effects of decreased g s and decreased leaf N concentrations in response to growth under elevated CO2 .

Functional groups responded differently to CO2 and N in terms of biomass, tissue N concentration and soil solution N. Under elevated CO2 , forbs, legumes and C3 grasses increased total biomass by 31%, 18%, and 9%, respectively, whereas biomass was reduced in C4 -grass monocultures. Two of the four legume species increased biomass and total plant N pools under elevated CO2 , probably due to stimulated N-fixation. Only one species markedly shifted the proportional distribution of below- vs aboveground biomass in response to CO2 or N. • Although functional groups varied in responses to CO2 and N, there was also substantial variation in responses among species within groups. These results suggest that current trait-based functional classifications might be useful, but not sufficient, for understanding plant and ecosystem responses to elevated CO2 and N availability.

Leaf area index was calculated from leaf litter mass. • In the first year of exposure, elevated [CO2 ] stimulated stand-level aboveground dry matter increment by 33%, but in the second year the growth stimulation was reduced to 15% and was no longer statistically significant. Leaf area index was not affected by CO2 enrichment in either year. • These results indicate that large trees that are no longer in an exponential growth phase retain the capacity to respond to elevated [CO2 ]. The combined 2-yr response of a 24% increase in growth per unit leaf area is consistent with predictions from earlier studies. A longer-term data set is needed to resolve the reason for different responses in the 2 years.

Stand transpiration reached 5.6 and 4.4 mm d-1 for the ambient and elevated CO2 treatments, respectively. Stratification of the data showed that significant differences in stand transpiration were observed between ambient and elevated CO2 only at mean daily radiation levels > 400 J m-2 s-1 and at vapor pressure deficits > 1.0 kPa. • These data illustrate that while elevated CO2 may reduce canopy transpiration, the apparent dependency of such an effect on prevailing weather makes detecting a CO2 -induced impact on forest water use difficult.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 2001/05/15/ VL - 268 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2764 EP - 2772 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00142956 AB - In unstressed cells, the tumor suppressor protein p53 is present in a latent state and is maintained at low levels through targeted degradation. A variety of genotoxic stresses initiate signaling pathways that transiently stabilize the p53 protein, cause it to accumulate in the nucleus, and activate it as a transcription factor. Activation leads either to growth arrest at the G1/S or G2/M transitions of the cell cycle or to apoptosis. Recent studies point to roles for multiple post-translational modifications in mediating these events in response to genotoxic stresses through several potentially interacting but distinct pathways. The ≈ 100 amino-acid N-terminal and ≈ 90 amino-acid C-terminal domains are highly modified by post-translational modifications. The N-terminus is heavily phosphorylated while the C-terminus contains phosphorylated, acetylated and sumoylated residues. Antibodies that recognize p53 only when it has been modified at specific sites have been developed, and studies with these reagents show that most known post-translational modifications are induced when cells are exposed to genotoxic stresses. These recent results, coupled with biochemical and genetic studies, suggest that N-terminal phosphorylations are important for stabilizing p53 and are crucial for acetylation of C-terminal sites, which in combination lead to the full p53-mediated response to genotoxic stresses. Modifications to the C-terminus inhibit the ability of this domain to negatively regulate sequence-specific DNA binding; additionally, they modulate the stability, the oligomerization state, the nuclear import/export process and the degree of ubiquitination of p53.

Cellular senescence very likely evolved to suppress tumorigenesis. In support of this idea, it is regulated by several tumor suppressor genes. At the heart of this regulation is p53. p53 is essential for the senescence response to short telomeres, DNA damage, oncogenes and supraphysiological mitogenic signals, and overexpression of certain tumor suppressor genes. Despite the well-documented central role for p53 in the senescence response, many questions remain regarding how p53 senses senescence-inducing stimuli and how it elicits the senescent phenotype.

The regulation of the microtubule system includes transcription of different tubulin isotypes, folding of α/β-tubulin heterodimers, post-translation modification of tubulin, and nucleotide-based microtubule dynamics, as well as interaction with numerous microtubule-associated proteins that are themselves regulated. The result is the precise temporal and spatial pattern of microtubules that is observed throughout the cell cycle. The recent high-resolution analysis of the structure of tubulin and the microtubule has brought new insight to the study of microtubule function and regulation, as well as the mode of action of antimitotic drugs that disrupt normal microtubule behavior. The combination of structural, genetic, biochemical, and biophysical data should soon give us a fuller understanding of the exquisite details in the regulation of the microtubule cytoskeleton.

It was found that respondents did not want to know what these indicators measured or how measurements were performed. According to the authors, the findings can help future efforts to communicate scientific information to nontechnical audiences and to represent societal values in ecological programs through the improvement of scientist-public communication.

The subcropping location of these faults identify major vegetation biozonations, new areas of wetland loss, and the position of transgressive lakes. The proposed mechanism governing these fault-related manifestations of subsidence involves the venting of fluid (and gas) from geopressured shales vertically up fault planes. Saline fluids and gases exiting a basin via growth faults provide accommodation space at depth, resulting in active, fault-induced subsidence in the down-thrown block. By contrast, areas along the fault trend where no fluids or gases were migrating would not result in an increase of accommodation space and would be considered inactive regarding fault-induced subsidence. The model that emerges is a growth fault trace that does not act in concert but more closely resembles a key-stepping system with sections alternating between active and inactive. These findings are relevant to the role of growth faults in subsidence-related coastal land loss and the vertical migration of hydrocarbons.

Cattle, sheep, and horses that consume the endophyte-infected grass can suffer fescue toxicosis caused by toxic alkaloids in the infected plants. The effects of the endophyte on mammalian herbivores have been well documented, but less is known regarding the quality of the grass (infected vs noninfected) as a food material for soil invertebrates. We conducted 21-d tests with earthworms (Eisenia fetida) to determine the nutritional quality of endophyte-infected and noninfected tall fescue leaf and root tissues. Earthworm survival, growth, and reproduction were measured in each treatment combination of tissue type and infection status. Earthworm survival was 100% in all treatments. Tall fescue tissue type (leaf vs root) and infection status (present or absent) both significantly affected E. fetida growth and reproduction. The earthworms grew and had moderate levels of reproduction in replicates containing tall fescue leaf tissue as the sole food source regardless of the endophyte-infection status, but earthworms lost weight and had less reproduction in replicates where tall fescue root tissue was the sole food source. An unexpected effect of infection status on earthworm growth in the tall fescue leaf--tissue treatments was also evident: mean growth of E. fetida with access to endophyte-infected leaf tissue as the sole food source was 3.6-fold greater than mean growth of E. fetida with access to noninfected leaf tissue as the sole food source. Knowledge regarding the relative effects of endophyte status of tall fescue on soil organisms may allow the development of more effective environmental management strategies at sites where tall fescue is being considered for use in phytoremediation or for vegetative cover. Investigators working with tall fescue should be alert to the possibility of endophyte-mediated effects of tall fescue on...

An open reading frame of 2,157 bp that codes for a 82-kDa protein showed 40%–60% homology with a series of NAD+-dependent DNA ligases from different organisms. The recombinant enzyme Ap DNA ligase expressed in Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity and characterized. The activity of Ap DNA ligase gradually increased in proportion to the concentration of monovalent salt up to 200 mM NaCl, 150 mM KCl, 200 mM NH4Cl, and 350 mM potassium glutamate. The optimum temperature and pH of Ap DNA ligase were greater than 65°C and 8.0–8.6, respectively, for nick-closing activity. More than 75% of the ligation activity was retained after incubation at 95°C for 60 min, whereas the half-lives of Thermus aquaticus and Escherichia coli DNA ligases at 95°C were ≤15 min and 5 min, respectively. Thermostable Ap DNA ligase was applied to repeat expansion detection (RED) and could be a useful enzyme in DNA diagnostics.

A literature review for selected, potential chemical and biological warfare agents shows that dose information is often lacking or controversial. Environmental regulatory limits or other industrial health guidelines that could be used to help establish cleanup concentration levels for such agents are generally unavailable or not applicable for a public setting. Although dose information, cleanup criteria, and decontamination protocols all present challenges to effective planning, several decontamination approaches are available. Such approaches should be combined with risk-informed decision making to establish reasonable cleanup goals for protecting health, property, and resources. Key issues during a risk assessment are to determine exactly what constitutes a safety hazard and whether decontamination is necessary or not for a particular scenario. An important conclusion is that cleanup criteria are site dependent and stakeholder specific. The results of a modeling exercise for two outdoor scenarios are presented to reinforce this conclusion. Public perception of risk to health, public acceptance of recommendations based on scientific criteria, political support, time constraints, and economic concerns must all be addressed in the context of a specific scenario to yield effective and acceptable decontamination.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2001/06// VL - 128 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 107 EP - 115 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00298549 AB - The remains of northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) are among the most abundant of pinniped elements recovered from mainland coastal archaeological sites in both California and Oregon. This is surprising as all contemporary northern fur seals breed exclusively on offshore islands, primarily at high latitudes, and the species is otherwise pelagic. The vulnerability of these animals to human predation suggests that either humans were foraging much further offshore than has been presumed or alternatively that the ecology of these animals has shifted during the late Holocene. We used isotopic and archaeofaunal analysis of the remains of pinnipeds from the middle to late Holocene of central and northern California to clarify the breeding and foraging behavior, and migration patterns of these ancient animals. The carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions of ancient northern fur seals reveal that these animals fed as far offshore as they do today, and that they remained at middle latitudes throughout the year. From an archaeological site at Moss Landing, California, we identified 16 skeletal elements from at least 12 very small northern fur seal pups. From another site near Mendocino, California, we identified the remains of at least 6 pups. We estimate the size and age of 5 of the young animals using sex-specific regressions of body length on the short dentary length derived from measurements of modern specimens. Our estimates indicate these ancient pups were substantially smaller, and therefore younger, than modern 3-month-old northern fur seal pups from similar latitudes and their nitrogen isotope compositions suggest they had not been weaned. As present-day northern fur seals do not leave their rookeries until they are at least 4 months old, we consider it highly unlikely that these ancient pups swam to these mainland locations from some distant island rookery. While there are numerous nearshore rocky outcrops along the Mendocino Coast, which may have supported small breeding colonies, the Moss Landing site is centered on a 40-km-long sandy beach, and is more than 120 km from what at the time were the nearest offshore islands. We conclude that northern fur seal adult females, subadults, and pups whose remains were recovered at the Moss Landing archaeological site must have been taken at a mainland rookery. Evidence that northern fur seals once bred on the mainland at this central California location suggests that the abundant remains of these animals at numerous other archaeological sites along the California coast also reflect the presence of nearby mainland rookeries. Based on the relative abundance of their remains in ancient human occupation sites and the widespread distribution of sites where their remains have been found, it appears that northern fur seals were once the predominant pinniped throughout a region where they now only rarely occur. Furthermore, their presence along the central and northern California coasts appears to have once severely limited the distribution of other pinnipeds, which are now common to the region.

At a mixed deciduous forest in the south-eastern United States (Walker Branch Watershed, Oak Ridge, TN, USA), we independently measured seasonal trends in photosynthetic capacity (using single-leaf gas exchange techniques) and the whole-canopycarbon flux (using the eddy covariance method). Soil respiration was also measured using chambers and an eddy covariance system beneath the canopy. These independent chamber and eddy covariance measurements, along with a biophysical model (CANOAK), areused to examine how leaf age affects the seasonal pattern of carbon uptake during the growing season. When the measured seasonality in photosynthetic capacity is representedin the CANOAK simulations, there is good agreement with the eddy covariance data on the seasonal trends in carbon uptake. Removing the temporal trends in the simulations by using the early season maximum value of photosynthetic capacity over the entire growing season over estimates the annual carbon uptake by about 300 g C m-2 year-1 – halfthe total estimated annual net ecosystem exchange. Alternatively, use of the mean value of photosynthetic capacity incorrectly simulates the seasonality in carbon uptake by the forest. In addition to changes related to leaf development and senescence, photosynthetic capacitydecreased in the middle and late summer, even when leaf nitrogenwas essentially constant. When only these middle and late summer reductions were neglected in the model simulations, CANOAK still overestimated the carbon uptake by an amount comparable to 25% ofthe total annual net ecosystem exchange.

SN - 07482337 AB - Advances in computational, and imaging techniques have enabled the rapid development of three-dimensional (3-D) models of biological systems in unprecedented detail. Using these advances, 3-D models of the lungs and nasal passages of the rat and human are being developed to ultimately improve predictions of airborne pollutant dosimetry. Techniques for imaging the respiratory tract by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were developed to improve the speed and accuracy of geometric data collection for mesh reconstruction. The MRI resolution is comparable to that obtained by manual measurements but at much greater speed and accuracy. Newly developed software (NWGrid) was utilized to translate imaging data from MR into 3-D mesh structures. Together, these approaches significantly reduced the time to develop a 3-D model. This more robust airway structure will ultimately facilitate modeling gas or vapor exchange between the respiratory tract and vasculature as well as enable linkages of dosimetry with cell response models. The 3-D, finite volume, viscoelastic mesh structures form the geometric basis for computational fluid dynamics modeling of inhalation, exhalation and the delivery of individual particles (or concentrations of gas or vapors) to discrete regions of the respiratory tract. The ability of these 3-D models to resolve dosimetry at such a high level of detail will require new techniques to measure regional airflows and particulate deposition for model validation.

Assumptions: Chromosome exchanges are formed by misrejoining of two DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) induced within an interaction distance, d. It is assumed that chromosomes in G[sub 0]/G[sub 1] phase of the cell cycle occupy a spherical domain in a cell nucleus, with no spatial overlap between individual chromosome domains. Results: Formulae are derived for the probability of formation of inter-, as well as intra-, chromosome exchanges relating to the DNA content of the chromosome for a given interaction distance. For interaction distances <1μm, the relative frequency of interchromosome exchanges predicted by the present model is similar to that by Cigarran et al. (1998) based on the assumption that the probability of interchromosome exchanges is proportional to the 'surface area' of the chromosome territory. The 'surface area' assumption is shown to be a limiting case of d→0 in the present model. The present model also predicts that the probability of intrachromosome exchanges occurring in individual chromosomes is proportional to their DNA content with correction terms. Conclusion: When the interaction distance is small, the 'surface area' distribution for chromosome participation in interchromosome exchanges has been expected. However, the present model shows that for the interaction distance as large as 1 μm, the predicted probability of interchromosome exchange formation is still close to the surface area distribution. Therefore, this distribution does not necessarily rule out the formation of complex chromosomal aberrations by long-range misrejoining of DSB.

Materials and methods: Metaphase chromosomes in suspension were isolated from a Chinese hamster human hybrid cell line, 314-2 (1) Y, and a human cell line, GM 130B. During suspension hybridization, specific chromosomes were labeled from these two cell lines using either biotin-labeled human genomic DNA, a directly labeled human pancentromere DNA probe or a chromosome #1 locus-specific probe. Results: The method allows, for the first time, recovery of large numbers of isolated individual hybridized chromosomes with good morphology for both human × hamster hybrid and human cell lines. The results showed that 46-73% of the starting number of total chromosomes can be recovered after a FISH in suspension procedure. The well-preserved morphology of hybridized metaphase chromosomes allowed (1) rapid detection of individual human and hamster chromosome aberrations, (2) rapid counting of the painted human chromosomes and (3) fast, clear detection of chromosome region-specific probes. This method offers a new tool to assay chromosomes and DNA: it offers the possibility to develop new techniques for sorting chromosomes based on FISH signals, for early detection and screening of genetic diseases and for bulk measurement of both balanced or unbalanced chromosomal exchanges and rearrangements. Conclusion: The potential of the method described should facilitate fast, sensitive population monitoring, and increase sensitivity of the measurements in chromosome-based biodosimetry.

Materials and methods: Chromosome translocation frequencies were evaluated by scoring 933 to 3077 metaphases under fluorescence microscope for each of the five male and four female exposed individuals after they had relocated from the radioactive environment for 34-82 months. FISH painting was conducted using kits of whole-chromosome probes for chromosomes 1, 2 and 4 in orange and 3, 5 and 6 in green and counter-stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The retrospective dose estimation termed Taiwan Cumulative Dose (TCD) was conducted by assessment using detailed information of historical exposure and the environmental radioactivity for each apartment during previous residency. Results: A total of 20 244 well-prepared metaphases were scored. Biodoses were calculated from the translocation frequencies and physical doses were estimated from detail questionnaires for each individual. The translocation frequencies measured ranged from 2.2×10[sup -3] to 26.8×10[sup -3] translocations per cell and the dose equivalent from 52.2 to 992.2mSv. A good correlation was observed between the physical and biodoses. A plot of TCD against FISH-derived doses produced D[sub fish] =0.65 D[sub TCD], when fitted by a linear model, and D[sub fish] = 0.53 D[sub TCD]+ 1.26×10[sup -4 ] D[sup 2][sub TCD], when fitted with a linear-quadratic model. Given the scatter in the data and the extremely small quadratic dose contribution, neither model could be ruled out. Conclusion: Chromosome translocations provide a valid method of dose estimation in extremely protracted low dose-rate γ-radiation exposure. Validation of the TCD method by FISH-measured translocations supports the use of TCD for epidemiological studies.

At the same time, federal and state governments are promoting the use of alternative fuel vehicles as a means to curb local air pollution. As yet, the impact of this movement toward alternative fuels with respect to toxic emissions has not been well studied. The purpose of this paper is to compare toxic emissions from vehicles operating on a variety of fuels, including reformulated gasoline (RFG), natural gas, ethanol, methanol, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and electricity. This study uses a version of Argonne National Laboratory's Greenhouse Gas, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) model, appropriately modified to estimate toxic emissions. The GREET model conducts a total fuel-cycle analysis that calculates emissions from both downstream (e.g., operation of the vehicle) and upstream (e.g., fuel production and distribution) stages of the fuel cycle. We find that almost all of the fuels studied reduce 1,3-butadiene emissions compared with conventional gasoline (CG). However, the use of ethanol in E85 (fuel made with 85% ethanol) or RFG leads to increased acetaldehyde emissions, and the use of methanol, ethanol, and compressed natural gas (CNG) may result in increased formaldehyde emissions. When the modeling results for the four air toxics are considered together with their cancer risk factors, all the fuels and vehicle technologies show air toxic emission reduction benefits.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2001/07// VL - 128 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 237 EP - 250 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00298549 AB - Rising atmospheric CO2 may stimulate future forest productivity, possibly increasing carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems, but how tropospheric ozone will modify this response is unknown. Because of the importance of fine roots to the belowground C cycle, we monitored fine-root biomass and associated C fluxes in regenerating stands of trembling aspen, and mixed stands of trembling aspen and paper birch at FACTS-II, the Aspen FACE project in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) was used to elevate concentrations of CO2 (average enrichment concentration 535 µl l–1) and O3 (53 nl l–1) in developing forest stands in 1998 and 1999. Soil respiration, soil pCO2, and dissolved organic carbon in soil solution (DOC) were monitored biweekly. Soil respiration was measured with a portable infrared gas analyzer. Soil pCO2 and DOC samples were collected from soil gas wells and tension lysimeters, respectively, at depths of 15, 30, and 125 cm. Fine-root biomass averaged 263 g m–2 in control plots and increased 96% under elevated CO2. The increased root biomass was accompanied by a 39% increase in soil respiration and a 27% increase in soil pCO2. Both soil respiration and pCO2 exhibited a strong seasonal signal, which was positively correlated with soil temperature. DOC concentrations in soil solution averaged ~12 mg l–1 in surface horizons, declined with depth, and were little affected by the treatments. A simplified belowground C budget for the site indicated that native soil organic matter still dominated the system, and that soil respiration was by far the largest flux. Ozone decreased the above responses to elevated CO2, but effects were rarely statistically significant. We conclude that regenerating stands of northern hardwoods have the potential for substantially greater C input to soil due to greater fine-root production under elevated CO2. Greater fine-root biomass will be accompanied by greater soil C efflux as soil respiration, but leaching losses of C will probably be unaffected.

Found as a naturally occurring trace element in many crude oils and bound in oil-soluble ligation, nickel concentrations range from a few to over 250 ppm. In the conversion of crude oils to transportation fuels, these concentrations generally cause problems. Nickel interferes with upgrading processes, severely deactivating many heterogeneous catalysts (such as FCC), catalyzing undesirable side reactions (such as carbonization), and devaluing any residual material in which it may be isolated (such as coke). Nickel also can play a positive role in refining, assisting in oil exploration, catalyzing upgrading processes (such as for N removal), and producing petrochemicals (such as hydrogenation production). With increasing environmental concerns, Ni also has been utilized to identify sources of unregulated releases of crude oil, such as spills and seeps. This paper presents these and other aspects of nickel chemistry with relationship in exploration for and refining petroleum.

In an attempt to characterize and quantify the effects of heterogeneity on funnel-and-gate system performance, a numerical modeling study of 15 simulated heterogeneous flow domains was conducted. Each realization was tested to determine if the predicted capture width met the capture width expected for a homogeneous flow domain with the same hulk properties. This study revealed that the capture width of the funnel-and-gate system varied significantly with the level of heterogeneity of the aquifer. Two possible remedies were investigated for bringing systems with less than acceptable capture widths to acceptable levels of performance. First, it was determined that enlarging the funnel and gate via a factor of safety applied to the design capture width could compensate for the capture width variation in the heterogeneous flow domains. In addition, it was shown that the use of a pumping well downstream of the funnel and gate could compensate for the effects of aquifer heterogeneity on the funnel-and-gate capture width. However, if a pumping well is placed downstream of the funnel and gate to control the hydraulic gradient through the gate, consideration should be given to the gate residence time in relation to the geochemistry of the contaminant removal or destruction process in the gate.

Roots were collected from uninfected and infected spruce seedlings at biweekly intervals, fixed in formaldehyde–glacial acetic acid–50% ethanol (1 : 1 : 18), embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and tested by indirect immunofluorescence (IF). ToMV was detected by IF in infected, but not in uninfected red spruce roots. All seedlings that tested positive by IF had previously tested positive by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fluorescence was observed most frequently 2 weeks after inoculation in cortical and epidermal cells, as well as in the lateral root primordia. The ToMV was not observed in vascular tissue, the root cap, or meristematic cells. Virus distribution was uneven, and occurred in localized, concatenated pockets, parallel to the axis of the apical meristem. In older seedlings, fluorescence was associated with irregular-shaped vesicles in cortical cells.

Solid-phase measurements are typically made using solvent extraction or thermal headspace analysis. The high temperatures and chemical solvents associated with these methods can modify the physical structure of polymeric materials and, consequently, affect mass transfer characteristics. To measure solid-phase concentrations under conditions resembling those in which the material would be installed in an indoor environment, a new technique was developed for measuring VOC concentrations in vinyl flooring (VF) and similar materials. A 0.09-m² section of new VF was punched randomly to produce ∼200 0.78-cm² disks. The disks were milled to a powder at -140°C to simultaneously homogenize the material and reduce the diffusion path length without loss of VOCs. VOCs were extracted from the VF particles at room temperature by fluidized-bed desorption (FBD) and by direct thermal desorption (DTD) at elevated temperatures. The VOCs in the extraction gas from FBD and DTD were collected on sorbent tubes and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Seven VOCs emitted by VF were quantified. Concentration measurements by FBD ranged from 5.1 µg/g VF for n-hexadecane to 130 µg/g VF for phenol. Concentrations measured by DTD were higher than concentrations measured by FBD. Differences between FBD and DTD results may be explained using free-volume and dual-mobility sorption theory, but further research is necessary to more completely characterize the complex nature of a diffusant in a polymer matrix.

SN - 00496979 AB - Acid deposition is a serious problem throughout much of Asia. Emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) have been increasing steadily, as nations strive to increase their levels of economic development. Coal and fuel oil have been the main choices for powering industrial development; and, until recently, only a few countries had taken steps to avert the atmospheric emissions that accompany fuel combustion. This paper discusses trends in emissions of SO2 and NOx that have occurred in Asian countries in the period 1985–1997, using results from the RAINS-Asia computer model and energy-use trends from the IEA Energy Statistics and Balances database. Emissions of SO2 in Asia grew from 26.6 Tg in 1985 to 33.7 Tg in 1990 and 39.2 Tg in 1997. Though SO2 emissions used to grow as fast as fossil-fuel use, recent limitations on the sulfur content of coal and oil have slowed the growth. The annual-average emissions growth between 1990 and 1997 was only 2.2%, considerably less than the economic growth rate. Emissions of NOx, on the other hand, continue to grow rapidly, from 14.1 Tg in 1985 to 18.7 Tg in 1990 and 28.5 Tg in 1997 (6.2% per year between 1990 and 1997), with no signs of abating. Thus, though SO2 remains the major contributor to acidifying emissions in Asia, the role of NOx will become more and more important in the future.

SN - 00496979 AB - Starting from an inventory of SO2, NOx, VOC and NH3 emissions for the years 1990 and 1995 in East Asia (Japan, South and North Korea, China, Mongolia and Taiwan), the temporal development of the emissions of the four air pollutants is projected to the year 2030 based on scenarios of economic development. The projections are prepared at a regional level (prefectures or provinces of individual countries) and distinguish more than 100 source categories for each region. The emission estimates are presented with a spatial resolution of 1×1 degree longitude/latitude. First results suggest that, due to the emission control legislation taken in the region, SO2 emissions would only grow by about 46 percent until 2030. Emissions of NOx and VOC may increase by 95 and 65 percent, respectively, mainly driven by the expected increase in road traffic volume. Ammonia, mainly emitted from agriculture, is projected to double by 2030.

JO - Wetlands Ecology & Management JF - Wetlands Ecology & Management Y1 - 2001/08// VL - 9 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 333 EP - 347 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09234861 AB - The ability of green plants to act as conduits to enhance the transport of Hg from soils to the atmosphere is now established, but the data base is severely limited. The potential role of this process in mobilizing Hg in global and regional cycles makes it imperative that automated methods be developed to increase our capability to measure and understand the process in a variety of ecosystems. We previously published a tower-based micrometeorological gradient method for measuring gas-phase Hg° fluxes in terrestrial systems based on the Modified Bowen ratio (MBR) approach. The method relied on demanding and time-consuming manual sampling of Hg gradients. Automated Hg sampling methods now exist, and we describe here applications of the Tekran Hg analyzer to automated near-real-time measurements of Hg gradients over wetland vegetation. We use these data with MBR to compute fluxes of Hg from those of other trace gases. From 1996 to 1998 we sampled Hg fluxes over emergent macrophytes in the Florida Everglades, beginning with manual methods, but later deploying automated methods for most of the study to collect more than 500 30-min fluxes over 2 y. The limitations of the manual method resulted in considerable uncertainly in our earlier observations, even to the extent that we initially doubted that vegetation emissions were real. However, the automated method allowed us to quantify the actual development of Hg emission gradients over wetland vegetation. Following sunrise Hg fluxes show diel patterns similar to those of CO2 and H2O, providing information on the possible mechanisms of Hg emission. Our data suggest mean daytime emission rates of Hg over these wetlands on the order of 30 ng m^{-2} h^{-1}. Fluxes were influenced by temperature, solar radiation, and atmospheric turbulence. There exists a significant biotic re-emission of Hg° from the oceans, and our data provide the first direct evidence of a similar process in subtropical wetlands.

Patient status in MS is frequently assessed by the Expanded Disability Status Scale, which emphasizes ambulation but underestimates the contribution of cognitive factors. Yet, cognitive functions of memory and processing are known to be impaired in MS. We used quantitative MR spectroscopy to determine this relation between cognitive function and N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) levels. We find a significant correlation (r = .63, p < .005) for the left periventricular (PV) NAA concentrations with performance on the verbal Selective Reminding Test. Right PV NAA was significantly (p < .02) correlated with the Tower of Hanoi performance, with r = .58.

This work is concerned with spontaneous formation of structures. We define the notion of dynamical hierarchies in natural systems and show the importance of this particular kind of organization for living systems. We then define a framework that enables us to formulate, investigate, and manipulate such dynamical hierarchies. This framework allows us to simultaneously investigate different levels of description together with their interrelationship, which is necessary to understand the nature of dynamical hierarchies. Our framework is then applied to a concrete and very simple formal, physicochemical, dynamical hierarchy involving water and monomers at level one, polymers and water at level two, and micelles (polymer aggregates) and water at level three. Formulating this system as a simple two-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) lattice gas allows us within one dynamical system to demonstrate the successive emergence of two higher levels (three levels all together) of robust structures with associated properties. Second, we demonstrate how the framework for dynamical hierarchies can be used for realistic (predictive) physicochemical simulation of molecular self-assembly and self-organization processes. We discuss the detailed process of micellation using the three-dimensional MD lattice gas. Finally, from these examples we can infer principles about formal dynamical hierarchies. We present an ansatz for how to generate robust, higher-order emergent properties in formal dynamical systems that is based on a conjecture of a necessary minimal complexity within the fundamental interacting structures once a particular simulation framework is chosen.

In this note we respond to their criticisms. After clarifying our ansatz, we argue that the simulations presented by Gross and McMullin present no evidence against the ansatz, in part because their simulations use a different simulation framework, and in part because their simulations are no less complex than ours. We also clarify why the micelles in our simulations are third-order emergent structures, and why we emphasize realism in our simulation.

Unlike conventional on-chip passive devices, the micromachined variable capacitors achieve a high-Q value above 60 at 1 GHz with a 15% tuning range for a nominal 2 pF capacitance with 3 V tuning voltage. Three-dimensional inductors minimize the substrate loss and achieve a Q of 30 at 1 GHz with a 4.8 nH inductance. Both passive components are fabricated on silicon substrates and thus amenable to monolithic integration with standard IC process. The prototype VCO exhibits -136 dBc/Hz phase noise at 3 MHz offset frequency from the carrier, suitable for most wireless communication applications, in particular GSM. The VCO is tunable from 855 Mhz to 863 MHz, limited by the test set-up. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 11: 285–300, 2001.

JO - Journal of Quaternary Science JF - Journal of Quaternary Science Y1 - 2001/09// VL - 16 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 555 EP - 563 SN - 02678179 AB - The timing of glaciation in the Lahul Himalaya of northern India was ascertained using the concentrations of cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al from boulders on moraines and drumlins, and from glacially polished bedrock surfaces. Five glacial stages were identified: Sonapani I and II, Kulti, Batal and Chandra. Of these, cosmogenic exposure ages were obtained on samples representative of the Batal and Kulti glacial cycles. Stratigraphical relationships indicate that the Sonapani I and II are younger. No age was obtained for the Chandra glacial advance. Batal Glacial Stage deposits are found throughout the valley, indicating the presence of an extensive valley glacial system. During the Kulti Stage, glaciers advanced ca. 10 km beyond their current positions. Moraines produced during the Batal Stage, ca. 12-15.5 ka, are coeval with the Northern Hemisphere Late-glacial Interstadial (Bølling/Allerød). Deglaciation of the Batal Glacial Stage was completed by ca. 12 ka and was followed by the Kulti Glacial Stage during the early Holocene, at ca. 10-11.4 ka. On millennial time-scales, glacier oscillations in the Lahul Himalaya apparently reflect periods of positive mass-balance coincident with times of increased insolation. During these periods the South Asian summer monsoon strengthened and/or extended its influence further north and west, thereby enhancing high-altitude summer snowfall.

JO - Quality & Reliability Engineering International JF - Quality & Reliability Engineering International Y1 - 2001/09// VL - 17 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 333 EP - 344 SN - 07488017 AB - Statistically designed experiments provide a proactive means for improving reliability; moreover, they can be used to design products that are robust to noise factors which are hard or impossible to control. Traditionally, failure-time data have been collected; for high-reliability products, it is unlikely that failures will occur in a reasonable testing period, so the experiment will be uninformative. An alternative, however, is to collect degradation data. Take, for example, fluorescent lamps whose light intensity decreases over time. Observation of light-intensity degradation paths, given that they are smooth, provides information about the reliability of the lamp, and does not require the lamps to fail. This paper considers experiments with such data for ‘reliability improvement’, as well as for ‘robust reliability achievement’ using Taguchi's robust design paradigm. A two-stage maximum-likelihood analysis based on a nonlinear random-effects model is proposed and illustrated with data from two experiments. One experiment considers the reliability improvement of fluorescent lamps. The other experiment focuses on robust reliability improvement of light-emitting diodes.

SN - 15677230 AB - The parameterized subgrid-scale surface flux (PASS) model provides a simplified means of using remote sensing data from satellites and limited surface meteorological information to estimate the influence of soil moisture on bulk canopy stomatal resistances to the uptake of gases over extended areas. PASS-generated estimates of bulk canopy stomatal resistance were used in a dry deposition module to compute gas deposition velocities with a horizontal resolution of 200 m for approximately 5000 km2 of agricultural crops and rangeland. Results were compared with measurements of O3 flux and concentrations made during April and May 1997 at two surface stations and from an aircraft. The trend in simulated O3 deposition velocity during soil moisture drydown over a period of a few days matched the trend observed at the two surface stations. For areas under the aircraft flight paths, the variability in simulated O3 deposition velocity was substantially smaller than the observed variability, while the averages over tens of kilometers were usually in agreement within 0.1 cm s-1. Model results indicated that soil moisture can have a major role in deposition of O3 and other substances strongly affected by canopy stomatal resistance.

We then focus on the importance of HNO3 reactions on sea salt particles in determining spatio-temporal patterns of N dry deposition to marine ecosystems. Modelling results obtained assuming no kinetic or chemical limit on HNO3 uptake and horizontally homogeneous conditions with near-neutral stability, indicate that for wind speeds 3.5 – 10 m s-1 transfer of HNO3 to the particle phase to form particle nitrate (NO3-) may decrease the N deposition velocity by 50%. We extend this research using the CHEM-COAST model to demonstrate that, in a sulphur poor environment under moderate wind speeds with HNO3 concentrations representative of those found in the marine boundary layer, inclusion of heterogeneous reactions on sea spray significantly reduces modelled NO3- deposition in the near coastal zone.

JO - Water, Air & Soil Pollution: Focus JF - Water, Air & Soil Pollution: Focus Y1 - 2001/09// VL - 1 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 295 EP - 302 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 15677230 AB - We have measured total gaseous mercury concentrations (Hg°) at Point Barrow, Alaska since September 1998 in an effort to determine the geographic extent and reaction mechanism of the so-called mercury depletion events (MDE) previously reported in the high Arctic at Alert, Canada. Hg° has been sampled now for nearly 2 years at Barrow. In September, 1999, we began making the first automated measurements of reactive gaseous mercury (RGM) attempted in the Arctic, along with measurements of Hg accumulation in snowpack to determine the fate of the `depleted' Hg°. During the fall and early winter, Hg° and RGM exhibit only minor variation, Hg° remaining within ∼10% of global background, near 1.6–1.8 ng m-3. The MDE periods are quite different, however; within days of Arctic sunrise in January, Hg° exhibits major variations from the mean, rapidly dropping as low as 0.05 ng m-3 and then cycling back to typical levels, sometimes exceeding global background. These events continue throughout Arctic spring, then end abruptly following snowmelt, in early June. Prior to Arctic sunrise, RGM remains near detection (<2 pg m-3), but after sunrise increases dramatically (to levels as high as 900 pg/m3) in synchrony with the `depletion' of Hg°. Both phenomena exhibit a strong diel cycle, in parallel with UV-B. We conclude that MDE's involve rapid in-air oxidation of Hg° to a species of RGM by photochemically-driven reactions, probably involving the same reactive bromine and chlorine compounds involved in ozone destruction. Sharp increases in Hg in the surface snowpack after sunrise coincident with periods of peak RGM suggest surface accumulation of the RGM by dry deposition.

The fractal dimension Df and prefactor term kf calculated from these measurements were used to determine whether there exists a universality of these properties for inflame soot or any correspondence with previous measurements performed in the overfire region of large turbulent flames. The fractal dimension measured in this study ranged from 1.65 to 1.75, in agreement with previous measurements obtained for both inflame and overfire soot. Measurable variations in the prefactor values, which ranged from 6.75 for the methane/air diffusion flame, to 8.47 for the ethylene/air diffusion flame, were observed. An error analysis performed for these results indicated that there is up to 6 percent and 22 percent uncertainty in the fractal dimension and prefactor values, respectively.

The approach applies the combined Shewhart-CUSUM control chart methodology for intrawell comparison of analyte concentrations over time and does not require an upgradient well. A case study from the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site is used for illustration purposes. This method is broadly applicable in groundwater monitoring programs where there is no clearly defined upgradient location, the groundwater flow rate is exceptionally slow, or where a high degree of spatial variability exists in parameter concentrations. This study also indicates that the use of the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) process can assist in designing an efficient and cost-effective groundwater monitoring plan to achieve the optimum goal of both low false positive and low false negative rates (high power).

We assume linear gravitational instability theory and apply the maximum likelihood technique, VELMOD to SFI galaxies within a redshift czLG=6000 km s-1. The resulting calibration of the TF relation is consistent with a previous, independent calibration for a similar sample of spirals residing in clusters. Our analysis provides an accurate estimate of the quantity βI ≡ Ωm0.6/bI, where bI is the linear biasing parameter for IRAS galaxies. Using the forward TF relation and smoothing the predicted velocity field with a Gaussian filter of radius 300 km s-1, we obtain βI=0.42±0.04 (1σ uncertainty). This value, as well as other parameters in the fit, are robust to varying the smoothing radius to 500 km s-1 and splitting the sample into spherical shells in redshift space. The one exception is the small-scale velocity dispersion, σv, which varies from ∼ 200 km s-1 (within czLG=4000 km s-1) to ∼ 500 km s-1 at larger distance. For βI≃0.42, the residuals between the TF data and the PSCz gravity field are uncorrelated, indicating that the model provides a good fit to the data. More generally, a χ2 statistic indicates that the PSCz model velocity field provides an acceptable (3σ) fit to the data for 0.3<βI<0.5.

Various nondestructive inspection (NDI) techniques are being used to obtain images of corroded regions on structures. A computational approach using wavelet transforms and artificial neural networks to analyze and quantify the extent of corrosion damage from the NDI images is described. The wavelet parameters obtained from the images were first used to classify between corroded and uncorroded regions using a clustering algorithm. The corroded regions were further analyzed to obtain the material loss due to corrosion using an artificial neural network model. Experiments were carried out to investigate the developed methods for aircraft panels with engineered corrosion obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration Validation Center in Albuquerque. The results presented indicate that the computational methods developed for corrosion analysis seem to provide reasonable results for estimating material loss due to corrosion damage.

The computational science community has long been at the forefront of advanced computing, due to its need to solve problems requiring resources beyond those provided by the most powerful computers. More recently, the widespread availability of high-speed networks and the growing awareness of the new problem solving modalities made possible when these networks are used to couple geographically distributed resources have stimulated interest in so called grid computing. Besides making these communication paradigms available and efficient in Java, further advances are needed to realize the full potential of emerging grids in which users deal with heterogeneous systems, diverse programming paradigms and the needs of multiple user communities. Advanced applications like those in science and engineering can require multiple communication abstractions, ranging from message passing to remote method invocation and component frameworks.

For this study, a hierarchical set of 30 oligonucleotide probes targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA of these bacilli at multiple levels of specificity (approximate taxonomic ranks of domain, kingdom, order, genus and species) was designed and immobilized in a high-density matrix of gel pads on a glass slide. Reproducible melting curves for probes with different levels of specificity were obtained using an optimized salt concentration. Clear discrimination between perfect match (PM) and mismatch (MM) duplexes was achieved. By normalizing the signals to an internal standard (a universal probe), a more than twofold discrimination (> 2.4×) was achieved between PM and 1-MM duplexes at the dissociation temperature at which 50% of the probe–target duplexes remained intact. This provided excellent differentiation among representatives of different Bacillus species, both individually and in mixtures of two or three. The overall pattern of hybridization derived from this hierarchical probe set also provided a clear ‘chip fingerprint’ for each of these closely related Bacillus species.

The PCNA gene is induced by p53, while PCNA protein interacts with p53-controlled proteins Gadd45, MyD118, CR6 and, most importantly, p21, in the process of deciding cell fate. If PCNA protein is present in abundance in the cell in the absence of p53, DNA replication occurs. On the other hand, if PCNA protein levels are high in the cell in the presence of p53, DNA repair takes place. If PCNA is rendered non-functional or is absent or present in low quantities in the cell, apoptosis occurs. The evolution from prokaryotes to eukaryotes involved a change of function of PCNA from a 'simple' sliding clamp protein of the DNA polymerase complex to an executive molecule controlling critical cellular decision pathways. The evolution of multicellular organisms led to the development of multicellular processes such as differentiation, senescence and apoptosis. PCNA, already an essential molecule in the life of single cellular organisms, then became a protein critical for the survival of multicellular organisms.

An inspection and maintenance (I/M) program that ensures vehicle emission control systems are well maintained can complement other emission reduction strategies. This paper presents the initial findings of extensive data collected on vehicle characteristics and emissions for two-wheeler vehicles operating in Delhi in a series of I/M camps conducted by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers and various partners in late 1999. The analysis shows idle HC and CO emissions [measured in terms of parts per million (ppm) and volume % (vol %), respectively] in a slow declining trend with subsequent model years, reflecting tighter emission standards and more advanced emission technologies. The I/M benefits--3 vol % and 39% reduction in idle and mass CO, respectively; 40 vol % and 22% reduction in idle and mass HC, respectively; and a 10-20% increase in fuel efficiency--were higher than those reported in the literature. Although these benefits are substantial, any implementation strategy needs to consider cost-effectiveness. In the present study, only 10% of vehicles--contributing 22% of the total vehicle emissions--failed the idle CO standard. Fleet emissions data variability necessitates a large sample size to develop a baseline for the vehicle fleet, but a smaller, scientifically designed sample and better data collection quality could periodically track the benefits at future camps.

To aid in this determination, preliminary estimates of the performance and cost of powdered activated carbon (PAC) injection-based mercury control technologies were developed. This paper presents these estimates and develops projections of costs for future applications. Cost estimates were developed using PAC to achieve a minimum of 80% mercury removal at plants using electrostatic precipitators and a minimum of 90% removal at plants using fabric filters. These estimates ranged from 0.305 to 3.783 mills/kWh. However, the higher costs were associated with a minority of plants using hot-side electrostatic precipitators (HESPs). If these costs are excluded, the estimates range from 0.305 to 1.915 mills/kWh. Cost projections developed using a composite lime-PAC sorbent for mercury removal ranged from 0.183 to 2.270 mills/kWh, with the higher costs being associated with a minority of plants that used HESPs.

SN - 00953628 AB - We investigated the conditions promoting toluene biodegradation for gasoline-contaminated near-surface (0.6 m depth) and subsurface (4.7 to 5.0 m depth) vadose zone soils sampled from an arid environment. At both depths, water addition was required for toluene biodegradation to occur. In near-surface samples, no inorganic nutrient addition was necessary and (i) biodegradation was fastest at 0.0 MPa, (ii) biodegradation rates decreased with decreasing water potential down to ?1.0 MPa, and (iii) biodegradation was undetectable at ?1.5 MPa. For subsurface material, toluene depletion was stimulated either by slurrying with a nutrient solution or by adjusting the moisture content to 20% (0.0 MPa) with nutrient solution and lowering the oxygen concentration (to effectively 1 mg L?1 in the aqueous phase). Thus, in the subsurface material, toluene depletion was microaerobic and nutrient-limited, occurring only under low oxygen and with inorganic nutrient addition. Our studies implicate microaerophily as an important characteristic of the toluene-degrading communities in these dry soils, with soil water as a primary controller of oxygen availability.

SN - 00320935 AB - A bright synchrotron light source operated by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory served as an external source for infrared (IR) microscopy of plant root microcosms. Mid-IR light from synchrotrons is 2–3 orders of magnitude brighter than conventional sources, providing contrast based on the chemical information in the reflected signal at a spatial resolution near the diffraction-limit of 3–10 µm. In an experiment using plant root microcosms fitted with zinc selenide IR-transmissive windows (50 mm·× 20 mm × 1 mm), we describe chemical differences and similarities within the root zone of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.), grown with or without phosphorus, and revealed by reflectance spectromicroscopy. Comparative root and root-exudate profiles are described in sand/silt culture over the wavelength range of 2.5 to 16 µm (4,000 to 650 cm–1) in the mid-IR, the spectral region most useful for the analytical identification of small organic molecules. Root epidermal tissue of plants grown with low phosphorus showed a greater lipid contribution and less lignin than nutrient-sufficient plants. In the zone 200 µm from the root axis, control plants were enriched with simple sugars and monomeric lignin precursors. In low-phosphorus plants, the rhizosphere possessed IR signatures from protein and sugars. Individual soil minerals could be easily discriminated from biological material. Synchrotron IR spectromicroscopy, therefore, complements existing root imaging techniques.

SN - 00496979 AB - Sulfur transport and deposition in Asia, on an annual and seasonal basis, is analyzed using the ATMOS model. Calculations are performed for two complete years (1990 and 1995). Deposition amounts in excess of 0.5 g S m-2 yr-1 are estimated for large regions in Asia, with values as high as 10 g S m-2 yr-1 in southeastern China. Annual averaged SO2 concentrations in excess of 20 μg SO2 m-3 are calculated for many urban and suburban areas of eastern China and S. Korea, with an average of 5 μg SO2 m-3 over most of the emitter regions. Sulfur deposition by major source categories is also studied. Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore) receives ∼25% of its sulfur deposition from shipping activities. Sulfur deposition from bio-fuel burning is significant for most of the underdeveloped regions in Asia. Volcanoes are a major source of sulfur emissions in the Pacific Ocean, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Southern Japan. Sulfur deposition is shown to vary significantly throughout the year. The monsoons are found to be the largest factor controlling sulfur transport and deposition in the Indian sub-continent and Southeast Asia. India receives over 35% of its total deposition during the summer months. In East Asia, sulfur deposition is estimated to be 10% higher during summer and fall than winter and spring. Model results are compared with observations from a number of monitoring networks in Asia and are found to be generally consistent with the limited observations.

It is therefore important to measure the permeation of these salts through the stratum corneum (SC), the primary rate-limiting domain in skin. An advanced diffusion system and analytical techniques now enable better measurement of the flux than was possible in earlier experiments. Human SC was prepared by trypsinization of dermatomed cadaver leg skin. The diffusion system included diffusion cells with a spiral line. Aqueous solutions of nickel salts (Ni(NO[sub 3])[sub 2], NiSO [sub 4], NiCl[sub 2] and Ni([sup -]OOCCH[sub 3])[sub 2] at 1 % Ni[sup 2+] concentration) were used as the donor solution (400 μ L/cell). The receptor fluid, pure water, was collected up to 96h after application of the donor solutions. Nickel concentrations in the donor and receptor fluid, as well as in the SC, were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with a confidence limit of 0.5ppb. Based on the total recovery of nickel from the experiments, about 98 % of the dose remained in the donor solution, whereas 1 % or less was retained in SC and less than 1 % was found in the receptor fluid. Following an early surge, nickel permeates slowly across SC. The steady-state permeability coefficients of nickel were calculated from the flux data (approximately 5.2-8.5 × 10[sup -7] cm/h) with no significant difference among the salts. The results concur in principle with earlier studies conducted using the full-thickness human skin in vitro, and suggest that in vivo nickel ions may permeate simultaneously by routes of diffusion such as the shunt pathway, apart from slow transcellular/intercellular diffusion alone.

One of its adhesins is filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA), a 500-Å-long secreted protein that is rich in β-structure and contains two regions, R1 and R2, of tandem 19-residue repeats. Two models have been proposed in which the central shaft is (i) a hairpin made up of a pairing of two long antiparallel β-sheets; or (ii) a β-helix in which the polypeptide chain is coiled to form three long parallel β-sheets. We have analysed a truncated variant of FHA by electron microscopy (negative staining, shadowing and scanning transmission electron microscopy of unstained specimens): these observations support the latter model. Further support comes from detailed sequence analysis and molecular modelling studies. We applied a profile search method to the sequences adjacent to and between R1 and R2 and found additional ‘covert’ copies of the same motifs that may be recognized in overt form in the R1 and R2 sequence repeats. Their total number is sufficient to support the tenet of the β-helix model that the shaft domain – a 350 Å rod – should consist of a continuous run of these motifs, apart from loop inserts. The N-terminus, which does not contain such repeats, was found to be weakly homologous to cyclodextrin transferase, a protein of known immunoglobulin-like structure. Drawing on crystal structures of known β-helical proteins, we developed structural models of the coil motifs putatively formed by the R1 and R2 repeats. Finally, we applied the same profile search method to the sequence database and found several other proteins – all large secreted proteins of bacterial provenance – that have similar repeats and probably also similar structures.

Our model is composed of two inequivalent square lattices with nearest-neighbor intralayer and interlayer interactions. We find a ground state composed of two independent Néel-ordered layers when the interlayer exchange is an order of magnitude weaker than the intralayer exchange, as suggested by experiment. We observe this result independent of the number of layers in our model. We find evidence for local orthogonal order between the layers, but it occurs in regions of parameter space that are not experimentally realized. We conclude that frustration caused by nearest-neighbor interactions in the mixed layer pnictide oxides is not sufficient to explain the long-range orthogonal order that is observed experimentally, and that it is likely that other terms (e.g., local anisotropies) in the Hamiltonian are required to explain the magnetic behavior. PACS Nos.: 75.10Hk, 75.40Mg, 75.50-y, 75.25+z Nous présentons les résultats d'une étude Monte Carlo d'un modèle simple bi-couche avec interaction géométriquement frustrée similaire à celle trouvée dans les oxides pnictides (Sr[sub 2] Mn[sub 3] Pn[sub 2] O[sub 2] , Pn = As, Sb). Notre modèle est composé de deux réseaux carrés inéquivalents avec interactions plus proche voisin intra-couche et entre les couches. Nous trouvons un fondamental composé de deux couches indépendantes ordonnées de type de Néel lorsque l'interaction entre les couches est un ordre de grandeur plus faible que l'interaction intra-couche, tel que suggéré par l'expérience. Ce résultat reste valable indépendamment du nombre de couches dans notre modèle. Il peut exister un ordre orthogonal entre les couches, mais ceci ne se produit que dans des régions de l'espace des paramètres qui ne sont pas expérimentalement réalisables. Nous en concluons que la frustration causée par l'interaction plus proche voisin dans ce type d'oxide à couches mixes n'est pas suffisante pour expliquer l'ordonnance orthogonale à longue portée observée et qu'il est probable que d'autres termes (par exemple d'anisotropie locale) doivent apparaître dans le Hamiltonien pour expliquer le comportement magnétique.

The toxic impact of herbicides on the indigenous β-subclass Proteobacteria autotrophic ammonia-oxidizer (β-AAO) community was assessed. The β-AAO population abundances were estimated by competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the gene amoA, encoding the a-subunit of ammonia monooxygenase. Community structure was examined by PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis targeting 16S rDNA with band excision and sequence analysis, and by analysis of amoA gene fragment clone libraries. The 16S rDNA analyses showed that a single ribotype of Nitrosospira cluster 3 was the dominant β-AAO in all treatments. At a finer scale, amoA clone library analysis suggested a shift in community structure corresponding to the 100-ppm application. Competitive PCR indicated significant differences between treatments. The control exhibited relatively stable population abundance over the time period examined. The 10-ppm treatment induced a population increase, but a significant decrease was induced by the 100-ppm application. At 1,000 ppm, the ammonia-oxidizer population dropped below the method detection limit by the first sampling point. An impact on ammonia oxidizers resulting from the application of herbicides was observed, both in abundance and community structure.

Regression models and uptake factors for use in estimating the uptake of inorganic elements from soil by above-ground plant tissues were derived in this study. These included models for arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, and zinc. Models were developed using published data from soil contaminated in the field and were validated using measured concentrations from two contaminated sites. Single-variable regression models of log-transformed concentrations in plants versus log-transformed concentrations in soil are generally recommended over simple uptake factors for use in estimating plant uptake of inorganic contaminants in ecological risk assessments. Multiple regression models with soil concentration and pH as the variables are also recommended for estimating the uptake of four chemicals (cadmium, mercury, selenium, and zinc) by plants. Models for use in screening risk assessments, i.e., the upper 95% prediction limits on the regressions, are recommended to provide conservative estimates of uptake of inorganic chemicals by plants.

We studied whole-ecosystem metabolism in eight streams from several biomes in North America to identify controls on the rate of stream metabolism over a large geographic range. The streams studied had climates ranging from tropical to cool-temperate and from humid to arid and were all relatively uninfluenced by human disturbances. 2. Rates of gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (R) and net ecosystem production (NEP) were determined using the open-system, two-station diurnal oxygen change method. 3. Three general patterns in metabolism were evident among streams: (1) relatively high GPP with positive NEP (i.e. net oxygen production) in early afternoon, (2) moderate primary production with a distinct peak in GPP during daylight but negative NEP at all times and (3) little or no evidence of GPP during daylight and a relatively constant and negative NEP over the entire day. 4. Gross primary production was most strongly correlated with photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). A multiple regression model that included log PAR and stream water soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration explained 90% of the variation in log GPP. 5. Ecosystem respiration was significantly correlated with SRP concentration and size of the transient storage zone and, together, these factors explained 73% of the variation in R. The rate of R was poorly correlated with the rate of GPP. 6. Net ecosystem production was significantly correlated only with PAR, with 53% of the variation in log NEP explained by log PAR. Only Sycamore Creek, a desert stream in Arizona, had positive NEP (GPP: R > 1), supporting the idea that streams are generally net sinks rather than net sources of organic matter. 7. Our results suggest that light, phosphorus concentration and channel hydraulics are important controls on the rate of ecosystem metabolism in streams over very extensive geographic areas.

The EO-induced water flux is proportional to the voltage gradient in a manner analogous to the flux dependence on the hydraulic gradient under Darcy's law. The proportionality constant, the soil electro-osmotic conductivity or keo, is most easily measured in soil cores using bench-top tests, where flow is one-dimensional and interfering effects attributable to Darcy's law can be directly accounted for. In contrast, quantification of EO fluxes and keo in the field under deployment conditions can be difficult because electrodes are placed in ground water wells that may be screened across a heterogeneous mixture of lithologies. As a result, EO-induced water fluxes constitute an approximate radial flow system that is superimposed upon a Darcy flow regime through permeable pathways that may or may not be coupled with hydraulic head differences created by the EO-induced water fluxes. A single well comparative tracer test, which indirectly measures EO fluxes by comparing wellbore tracer dilution rates between background and EO-induced water fluxes, may provide a means for routinely quantifying the efficacy of EO systems in such settings. EO fluxes measured in field tests through this technique at a ground water contamination site were used to estimate a mean keo value through a semianalytic line source model of the electric field. The resulting estimate agrees well with values reported in the literature and with values obtained with bench-top tests conducted on a soil core collected in the test area.

JO - Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry JF - Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry Y1 - 2001/11// VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 231 EP - 245 SN - 01677764 AB - The ozonolysis of propene has been investigated in a temperature controlled reaction chamber at 295, 260, and 230 K. Experiments were performed using a total zero air pressure of 760 Torr (STP) and propene/ozone reactant mixing ratios ranging from 2.3 to 23 ppmv. An analysis of FTIR spectra collected at the conclusion of each reaction revealed that methane was formed with a yield of 0.14 ± 0.03 (precision) for all the temperatures investigated. In addition, the yield of HCHO decreased from 0.67 ± 0.04 to 0.43 ± 0.03 upon cooling from 295 to 230 K, whereas the yield of HCOOH increased from 0.11 ± 0.02 to 0.53 ± 0.04. Experiments were also performed using an excess of cyclohexane (to scavenge OH) and it was found that the formaldehyde yield was 0.79 ± 0.05 and 0.61 ± 0.04 at 295 and 260 K, respectively. Finally, to more fully understand the reaction energies involved in product formation, we have performed molecular orbital calculations of heats of formation of reactants, stable intermediates, and products. Three conclusions can be made of this work. First, the reaction CH2OO + Aldehyde → Secondary Ozonide → HCOOH + Aldehyde is not an important mechanism in formic acid production. Second, the decomposition of the primary ozonide products (e.g., C2 radical species) appears to occur, in part, by a thermal mechanism (e.g., thermalized to chamber temperature). Third, ab initio results combined with experiment reveal no correlation between reaction exothermicity and products formed (e.g., kinetically dictated product formation occurs). The ab initio database is provided nevertheless as a starting point for transition state calculations to be performed in the future. Finally, since formaldehyde yield decreases by at most ~35% with decreasing temperature and formic acid is relatively unreactive in the atmosphere, our results suggest that temperature-dependent HCHO yield will constitute only a minor perturbation to HOx formation in the middle troposphere.

An R-branch line in the 1263.4 cm-1 ν3 band was found to be free of interference and suitable for ambient HONO measurements. Nitrous acid was measured during the night and early morning at an urban site in Toronto, Canada, during the summer of 1998. Average mixing ratios, integrated over 30 minutes, ranged from below the minimum detection limit of 300 pptv to 1.9 ppbv, with the highest concentrations observed during the early morning hours. During the night of 19 June 1998, the concentration of HONO increased by as much as 0.5 ppbv/hr. The usual decrease in HONO after sunrise was delayed by a few hours, possibly due to a combination of an increase in the production rate of HONO with rush hour, and attenuation of the early morning light by high NO2 within the aerosol fog/haze.

We have added water column photochemistry for volatile sulfur and organic compounds to large scale nutrient cycle modules, in order to create a one dimensional, open ocean ecochemistry simulator. Phyto- and zooplankton, recyclers and biological waste products are represented through N and Fe densities. Dimethyl sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and the methyl halides are tracked individually along with certain precursors and nonmethane hydrocarbons. The model is applied along the 180 degree meridian in the Northern Hemisphere. Ecodynamics are validated against satellite ocean color maps. Biological/photochemical production terms are then iterated upon to match measured distributions for the trace gases. Data are most complete for dimethyl sulfide. Major patterns in its climatology are captured within individual ecological provinces. However, at the basin scale reduced sulfur release must be varied over almost an order of magnitude because the mechanism developed contains only one plant taxon. Based on sparser data, first order rate constants are estimated for phytoplanktonic exudation of the methyl halides. Parameters are also established for photolytic injection of carbonyl sulfide and propylene from the dissolved organics. Ocean general circulation models and interactive ocean-atmosphere transport simulations are discussed as frameworks for future application.

T1 - The age of fine-root carbon in three forests of the eastern United States measured by radiocarbon. JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2001/11// VL - 129 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 420 EP - 429 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00298549 AB - Using a new approach involving one-time measurements of radiocarbon (14C) in fine (<2 mm diameter) root tissues we have directly measured the mean age of fine-root carbon. We find that the carbon making up the standing stock of fine roots in deciduous and coniferous forests of the eastern United States has a mean age of 3–18 years for live fine roots, 10–18 years for dead fine roots, and 3–18 years for mixed live+dead fine roots. These 14C-derived mean ages represent the time C was stored in the plant before being allocated for root growth, plus the average lifespan (for live roots), plus the average time for the root to decompose (for dead roots and mixtures). Comparison of the 14C content of roots known to have grown within 1 year with the 14C of atmospheric CO2 for the same period shows that root tissues are derived from recently fixed carbon, and the storage time prior to allocation is <2 years and likely <1 year. Fine-root mean ages tend to increase with depth in the soil. Live roots in the organic horizons are made of C fixed 3–8 years ago compared with 11–18 years in the mineral B horizons. The mean age of C in roots increases with root diameter and also is related to branching order. Our results differ dramatically from previous estimates of fine-root mean ages made using mass balance approaches and root-viewing cameras, which generally report life spans (mean ages for live roots) of a few months to 1–2 years. Each method for estimating fine-root dynamics, including this new radiocarbon method, has biases. Root-viewing approaches tend to emphasize more rapidly cycling roots, while radiocarbon ages tend to reflect those components that persist longest in the soil. Our 14C-derived estimates of long mean ages can be reconciled with faster estimates only if fine-root populations have varying rates of root mortality and decomposition. Our results indicate that a standard definition of fine roots, as those with diameters of <2 mm, is inadequate to determine the most dynamic portion of the root population. Recognition of the variability in fine-root dynamics is necessary to obtain better estimates of belowground C inputs.

From the photometry and radial velocity variation of several spectral lines, we confirm that the star is a variable with period . Only one period can be extracted from both the photometric and radial velocity observations. We find that the projected rotational velocity from the helium lines is considerably smaller than from the metal lines . The line profiles show an excess absorption feature moving from blue to red for half the period and from red to blue for the other half of the period. Another excess absorption feature moves exactly out of phase. The excess absorption features are present in photospheric lines as well as in lines which are significantly affected by circumstellar material, such as Hβ. From this we conclude that the periodic variations are most probably associated with corotating circumstellar material.

This 12.7-kDa protein from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum adopts a novel fold consisting of an orthogonal helical bundle with a β hairpin along one side. A portion of the structure resembles the helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif common in transcriptional regulator proteins. The protein contains two disulfide bonds but remains folded following reduction of the disulfides. DsrC proteins from organisms other than Pyrobaculum species do not contain these disulfide bonds. A conserved cysteine next to the C-terminus, which is not involved in the disulfide bonds, is located on a seven-residue C-terminal arm that is not part of the globular protein and is likely to dynamically sample more than one conformation.

A competence-stimulating polypeptide (CSP) is secreted by the bacteria and acts back on the cells via a transmembrane histidine kinase. This enzyme phosphorylates a response regulator that activates synthesis of a SigH-like protein. The new sigma factor enables expression of a set of proteins transcribed from a novel promoter. A mutation called trt had been found that circumvented this regulation. The mutant cells are constitutively competent; that is, they can be transformed at low cell densities, in the presence of proteases that attack CSP, or during growth at low pH. In this work, cells containing trt were shown to be competent even in the presence of a comAB mutation that blocks secretion of CSP. The trt mutation was localized to comD, the gene encoding the transmembrane histidine kinase. A DNA segment of the trt mutant corresponding to comCDE was cloned, and it was shown to contain the trt mutation by its ability to confer constitutive competence. A two-step assay, which was based on transfer of trt to a wild strain and screening for transformability in the presence of trypsin, served to locate the trt mutation precisely. It corresponds to a GC→AT transition, which changes Asp299 in the histidine kinase to Asn. This alteration in the carboxyl terminal half of the protein, which is cytoplasmically located and contains the phosphorylase activity, presumably alters the enzyme conformation so that it is permanently activated, independent of signals from the transmembrane domain. These results may help illuminate the mechanism by which external signals affect kinase action in two-component regulatory systems, and they may be of practical value in facilitating genetic studies by rendering pneumococcal strains permanently competent.

SN - 01757598 AB - Inducer, inhibitor, and mutant studies on three hydrogenase activities of Rhodospirillum rubrum indicate that they are mediated by three distinct hydrogenase enzymes. Uptake hydrogenase mediates H2 uptake to an unknown physiological acceptor or methylene blue and is maximally synthesized during autotrophic growth in light. Formate-linked hydrogenase is synthesized primarily during growth in darkness or when light becomes limiting, and links formate oxidation to H2 production. Carbon-monoxide-linked hydrogenase is induced whenever CO is present and couples CO oxidation to H2 evolution. The enzymes can be expressed singly or conjointly depending on growth conditions, and the inhibitor or inducer added. All three hydrogenases can use methyl viologen as the mediator for both the H2 evolution and H2 uptake reactions while displaying distinct pH optima, reversibility, and sensitivity to C2H2 gas. Yet, we present evidence that the CO-linked hydrogenase, unlike the uptake hydrogenase, does not link to methylene blue as the electron acceptor. These differences allow conditions to be established to quantitatively assay each hydrogenase independently of the others both in vivo and in vitro.

JO - Atmosphere -- Ocean (Canadian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society) JF - Atmosphere -- Ocean (Canadian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society) Y1 - 2001/12// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 361 EP - 428 PB - Canadian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society SN - 07055900 AB - A new earth system climate model of intermediate complexity has been developed and its climatology compared to observations. The UVic Earth System Climate Model consists of a three-dimensional ocean general circulation model coupled to a thermodynamic/dynamic sea-ice model, an energy-moisture balance atmospheric model with dynamical feedbacks, and a thermomechanical land-ice model. In order to keep the model compututionally efficient a reduced complexity atmosphere model is used. Atmospheric heat and freshwater transports are parametrized through Fickian diffusion, and precipitation is assumed to occur when the relative humidity is greater than 85%. Moisture transport can also be accomplished through advection if desired. Precipitation over land is assumed to return instantaneously to the ocean via one of 33 observed river drainage basins. Ice and snow albedo feedbacks are included in the coupled model by locally increasing the prescribed latitudinal profile of the planetary albedo. The atmospheric model includes a parametrization of water vapour/ planetary longwave feedbacks, although the radiative forcing associated with changes in atmospheric CO2 is prescribed as a modification of the planetary longwave radiative flux. A specified lapse rate is used to reduce the surface temperature over land where there is topography. The model uses prescribed present-day winds in its climatology, although a dynamical wind feedback is included which exploits a latitudinally-varying empirical relationship between atmospheric surface temperature and density. The ocean component of the coupled model is based on the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Modular Ocean Model 2.2, with a global resolution of 3.6° (zonal) by 1.8° (meridional) and 19 vertical levels, and includes an option for brine-rejection parametrization. The sea-ice component incorporates an elastic-viscous-plastic rheology to represent sea-ice dynamics and various options for the representation of sea-ice thermodynamics and thickness distribution. The systematic comparison of the coupled model with observations reveals good agreement, especially when moisture transport is accomplished through advection. Global warming simulations conducted using the model to explore the role of moisture advection reveal a climate sensitivity of 3.0°C for a doubling of CO2, in line with other more comprehensive coupled models. Moisture advection, together with the wind feedback, leads to a transient simulation in which the meridional overturning in the North Atlantic initially weakens, but is eventually re-established to its initial strength once the radiative forcing is held fixed, as found in many coupled atmosphere General Circulation Models (GCMs). This is in contrast to experiments in which moisture transport is accomplished through diffusion whereby the overturning is reestablished to a strength that is greater than its initial condition. When applied to the climate of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the model obtains tropical cooling (30°N 30°S), relative to the present, of about 2.1°C over the ocean and 3.6°C over the land. These are generally cooler than CLIMAP estimates, but not as cool as some other reconstructions. This moderate cooling is consistent with alkenone reconstructions and a low to medium climate sensitivity to perturbations in radiative forcing. An amplification of the cooling occurs in the North Atlantic due to the weakening of North Atlantic Deep Water formation. Concurrent with this weakening is a shallowing of, and a more northward penetration of, Antarctic Bottom Water. … (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Un nouveau modèle climatique du système terrestre de complexité intermédiaire a été mis au point et sa climatologie a été comparée aux observations. Le modèle climatique UVic du système terrestre consiste en un modèle tridimensionnel de circulation océanique générale couplé à un modèle de glace marine thermodynamique/dynamique, à un modèle atmosphérique à bilans d'énergie et d'humidité avec rétroactions dynamiques et à un modèle thermomécanique des glaces des terres émergées. L'utilisation d'un modèle atmosphérique de complexité réduite permet de maintenir l'efficacité de calcul du modèle. Les transports de chaleur atmosphérique et d'eau douce sont paramétrés en utilisant la diffusion fickienne et l'on suppose que des précipitations se produisent lorsque l'humidité relative dépasse 85%. Le transport d'humidité peut également être réalisé par advection, si désiré. Les précipitations au-dessus de la terre ferme sont supposées retourner instantanément à l'océan par l'un des 33 bassins hydrographiques qui sont observés. Les rétroactions des albédos de la glace et de la neige sont inclus dans le modèle couplé en augmentant localement le profil latitudinal prescrit de l'albédo planétaire. Le modèle atmosphérique comporte un paramétrage des rétroactions de la vapeur d'eau/ondes longues planétaires, même si le forçage radiatif associé avec les changements dans le CO2 atmosphérique est défini comme une modification du flux radiatif planétaire d'ondes longues. Un gradient thermique vertical fixe sert à réduire la température de surface au-dessus de la terre ferme dans les situations avec relief topographique. Le modèle utilise dans sa climatologie des vents prescrits à partir de la situation présente, quoiqu'il incorpore une rétroaction dynamique du vent qui exploite une relation empirique variant en fonction de la latitude entre la température atmosphérique de surface et la densité. La composante océanographique du modèle couplé est basée sur le modèle océanographique modulaire géophysique (GFDL) 2.2, avec une résolution globale de 3,6° (zonale) par 1,8° (méridionale) et 19 niveaux verticaux. Elle inclut une option pour le paramétrage du rejet d'eau salée. La composante glace marine contient une rhéologie élastique-plastique-visqueuse pour représenter la dynamique de la glace marine et diverses options pour la représentation de la thermodynamique de la glace marine et sa distribution d'épaisseur. La comparaison systématique du modèle couplé avec les observations révèle un bon accord, surtout lorsque le transport d'humidité est effectué par advection.x2026; (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Atmosphere -- Ocean (Canadian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society) is the property of Canadian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

SN - 00068314 AB - Maximum cross-correlation provides a method to remotely de-ter-mine high-ly re-solved three-dimensional fields of horizontal winds with e-las-tic li-dar through-out large volumes of the planetary boundary layer (PBL). This paper details the technique and shows comparisons between elastic lidar winds, remotely sensed laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) wind profiles, and radiosonde winds. Radiosonde wind data were acquired at Barcelona, Spain, during the Barcelona Air-Quality Initiative (1992), and the LDV wind data were acquired at Sunland Park, New Mexico during the 1994 Border Area Air-Quality Study. Comparisons show good agreement between the different instruments, and demonstrate the method useful for air pollution management at the local/regional scale. Elastic lidar winds could thus offer insight into aerosol and pollution transport within the PBL. Lidar wind fields might also be used to nudge or improve initialization and evaluation of atmospheric meteorological models.

Rather, once systems are designed to perceive language and other forms of human action, these interpretative processes will of necessity be context dependent. As an example, we illustrate how people simply and naturally create new contexts by naming and referring. We then describe Rasa, a mixed-reality system that observes and understands how users in a military command post create such contexts as part of the process of maintaining situational awareness. In such environments, commander's maps are covered with Post-it(r) notes. These paper artifacts are contextually transformed to represent units in the field by the application of multimodal language. Rasa understands this language, thereby allowing paper- based tools to become the basis for digital interaction. Finally, we argue that architectures for such context-aware systems will need to be built to process the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty of human input in order to be effective.

We then show that it is a good approximation to assume that each peak in either SZ effect is associated with one and only one dark matter halo. This allows us to use our knowledge of the properties of haloes to estimate the peak-height distributions. At fixed optical depth, the distribution of peak heights resulting from the kinematic effect is Gaussian, with a width that is approximately proportional to the optical depth; the non-Gaussianity comes from summing over a range of optical depths. The optical depth is an increasing function of halo mass and the distribution of halo speeds is Gaussian, with a dispersion that is approximately independent of halo mass. This means that observations of the kinematic effect can be used to put constraints on how the abundance of massive clusters evolves, and on the evolution of cluster velocities. The non-Gaussianity of the thermal effect, on the other hand, comes primarily from the fact that, on average, the effect is larger in more massive haloes, and the distribution of halo masses is highly non-Gaussian. We also show that because haloes of the same mass may have a range of density and velocity dispersion profiles, the relation between halo mass and the amplitude of the thermal effect is not deterministic, but has some scatter.

JO - Plant, Cell & Environment JF - Plant, Cell & Environment Y1 - 2001/12// VL - 24 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1257 EP - 1268 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01407791 AB - Abstract Leaf photosynthesis (Ps), nitrogen (N) and light environment were measured on Populus tremuloides trees in a developing canopy under free-air CO2 enrichment in Wisconsin, USA. After 2 years of growth, the trees averaged 1·5 and 1·6 m tall under ambient and elevated CO2, respectively, at the beginning of the study period in 1999. They grew to 2·6 and 2·9 m, respectively, by the end of the 1999 growing season. Daily integrated photon flux from cloud-free days (PPFDday,sat) around the lowermost branches was 16·8 ± 0·8 and 8·7 ± 0·2% of values at the top for the ambient and elevated CO2 canopies, respectively. Elevated CO2 significantly decreased leaf N on a mass, but not on an area, basis. N per unit leaf area was related linearly to PPFDday,sat throughout the canopies, and elevated CO2 did not affect that relationship. Leaf Ps light-response curves responded differently to elevated CO2, depending upon canopy position. Elevated CO2 increased Pssat only in the upper (unshaded) canopy, whereas characteristics that would favour photosynthesis in shade were unaffected by elevated CO2. Consequently, estimated daily integrated Ps on cloud-free days (Psday,sat) was stimulated by elevated CO2 only in the upper canopy. Psday,sat of the lowermost branches was actually lower with elevated CO2 because of the darker light environment. The lack of CO2 stimulation at the mid- and lower canopy was probably related to significant down-regulation of photosynthetic capacity; there was no down-regulation of Ps in the upper canopy. The relationship between Psday,sat and leaf N indicated that N was not optimally allocated within the canopy in a manner that would maximize whole-canopy Ps or photosynthetic N use efficiency. Elevated CO2 had no effect on the optimization of canopy N allocation.

SN - 00904341 AB - Exposure to the combination of a contaminant and an immunological challenge during development may greatly increase the impact of either or both of these stressors on an individual. This study investigated the interacting effects of a nonpathogenic immunological challenge and lead shot exposure early in the development of a precocial species. Seventy-one quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) chicks orally received either one #9 lead shot (0.05 g), four lead shots (0.2 g), or no lead at the age of 8 days. A third of each of these groups of chicks were intraperitoneally injected with either 0.075 ml of 10% chukar (Alectoris graeca) red blood cells (CRBCs), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), or a placebo oil vaccine at 13 and 35 days of age. There was no difference in the survival between any of the lead or antigen treatment groups. Lead concentrations in blood were greater for the lead-dosed groups on day 49 but not on day 128. Growth curves were approximated by Weibull functions; growth parameters did not differ between lead-treated and antigen-treated birds. CRBC antigen increases fluctuating asymmetry (FA) for primary feather five, while NDV reduced FA. Lead did not affect antibody production or cell-mediated immune response. White blood cell numbers increased 7 days after antigen injection on days 27 and 49 of age. Granulocyte numbers were significantly higher for the lead-treated quail than the control quail, and both antigen-treated groups had lower granulocyte numbers than control quail. The treatment groups of combining NDV and lead shot had an average plasma protein 14% lower than other groups. Lead shot in the highest of these doses lowered asymptotic weights, increased hematocrits, lowered plasma protein, and increased granulocyte numbers of quail.

JO - BMC Cell Biology JF - BMC Cell Biology Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 11 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712121 AB - Background: Lysosomes are acidic organelles that play multiple roles in various cellular oxidative activities such as the oxidative burst during cytotoxic killing. It remains to be determined how lysosomal lumen oxidative activity and pH interact and are regulated. Here, I report the use of fluorescent probes to measure oxidative activity and pH of lysosomes in live macrophages upon treatment with the tumor promotor phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and provide novel insight regarding the regulation of lysosomal oxidative activity and pH. Results: The substrate used to measure oxidative activity was bovine serum albumin covalently coupled to dihydro-2', 4,5,6,7,7'-hexafluorofluorescein (OxyBURST Green H2HFF BSA). During pulse-chase procedures with live macrophages, this reduced dye was internalized via an endocytic pathway and accumulated in the lysosomes. Oxidation of this compound resulted in a dramatic increase of fluorescence intensity. By using low-light level fluorescence microscopy, I determined that phorbol ester treatment results in increased oxidative activity and pH elevation in different subsets of lysosomes. Furthermore, lysosomes with stronger oxidative activity tended to exclude the acidotropic lysosomal indicator, and thus exhibit higher alkalinity. Conclusions: Results indicate that there is a regulatory mechanism between lysosomal oxidative activity and pH. Activation of lysosomal Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) oxidase by phorbol ester may result in increase of intralysosomal O2⋅- and H2O2, concurrent with pH elevation due to consumption of H+ and generation of OH-. Furthermore, the effect of phorbol ester on elevated oxidative activity and pH is heterogeneous among total lysosomal population. Higher oxidative activity and/or pH are only observed in subsets of lysosomes.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: Complete sequencing and annotation of the 96.2 kb Bacillus anthracis plasmid, pXO2, predicted 85 open reading frames (ORFs). Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis isolates that ranged in genomic similarity to B. anthracis, as determined by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis, were examined by PCR for the presence of sequences similar to 47 pXO2 ORFs. Results: The two most distantly related isolates examined, B. thuringiensis 33679 and B. thuringiensis AWO6, produced the greatest number of ORF sequences similar to pXO2; 10 detected in 33679 and 16 in AWO6. No more than two of the pXO2 ORFs were detected in any one of the remaining isolates. Dot-blot DNA hybridizations between pXO2 ORF fragments and total genomic DNA from AWO6 were consistent with the PCR assay results for this isolate and also revealed nine additional ORFs shared between these two bacteria. Sequences similar to the B. anthracis cap genes or their regulator, acpA, were not detected among any of the examined isolates. Conclusions: The presence of pXO2 sequences in the other Bacillus isolates did not correlate with genomic relatedness established by AFLP analysis. The presence of pXO2 ORF sequences in other Bacillus species suggests the possibility that certain pXO2 plasmid gene functions may also be present in other closely related bacteria.

JO - BMC Molecular Biology JF - BMC Molecular Biology Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 8 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712199 AB - Background: Tetracycline-regulated systems have been used to control the expression of heterologous genes in such diverse organisms as yeast, plants, flies and mice. Adaptation of this prokaryotic regulatory system avoids many of the problems inherent in other inducible systems. There have, however, been many reports of difficulties in establishing functioning stable cell lines due to the cytotoxic effects of expressing high levels of the tetracycline transactivator, tTA, from a strong viral promoter. Results: Here we report the successful incorporation of tetracycline-mediated gene expression in a mouse mammary epithelial cell line, HC11, in which conventional approaches failed. We generated retroviruses in which tTA expression was controlled by one of three promoters: a synthetic tetracycline responsive promoter (TRE), the elongation factor 1-alpha promoter (EF1α) or the phosphoglycerate kinase-1 promoter (PGK), and compared the resulting cell lines to one generated using a cytomegalovirus immediate early gene promoter (CMV). In contrast to cells produced using the CMV and PGK promoters, those produced using the EF1α and TRE promoters expressed high levels of β-galactosidase in a tetracycline-dependent manner. Conclusions: These novel retroviral vectors performed better than the commercially available system and may have a more general utility in similarly recalcitrant cell lines.

However, substantial evidence indicates that viral replication persists in these individuals. In this paper we examine the ability of several biologically motivated models of HIV-1 dynamics to explain sustained low viral loads. At or near drug efficacies that result in steady state viral loads below detectability, most models are extremely sensitive to small changes in drug efficacy. We argue that if these models reflect reality many patients should have cleared the virus, contrary to observation. We find that a model in which the infected cell death rate is dependent on the infected cell density does not suffer this shortcoming. The shortcoming is also overcome in two more conventional models that include small populations of cells in which the drug is less effective than in the main population, suggesting that difficulties with drug penetrance and maintenance of effective intracellular drug concentrations in all cells susceptible to HIV infection may underlie ongoing viral replication.

The suspension is flowing in between a rotating inner cylinder and a stationary outer cylinder. The conditions are such that nonhydrodynamic effects are negligible. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging demonstrates that the movement of particles away from the high shear rate region is more pronounced than for a Newtonian suspending liquid. We test a continuum constitutive model for the evolution of particle concentration in a flowing suspension proposed by Phillips et al., but extended to shear-thinning, suspending fluids. The fluid constitutive equation is Carreau-like in its shear-thinning behavior but also varies with the local particle concentration. The model captures many of the trends found in the experimental data, but does not yet agree quantitatively. In fact, quantitative agreement with a diffusive flux constitutive equation would be impossible without the addition of another fitting parameter that may depend on the shear-thinning nature of the suspending fluid. Because of this, we feel that the Phillips model may be fundamentally inadequate for simulating flows of particles innon-Newtonian suspending fluids without the introduction of a normal stress correction or other augmenting terms.

In addition to the previously reported states at 708 and 719 nm, it is demonstrated that there is a third state at 715 nm. The responsible Chl a molecules are referred to as C-708, C-715 and C-719. For both Synechococcus and Synechocystis, the lowest energy state is shown to be characterized by strong electron–phonon coupling (large Huang-Rhys factor S), large permanent dipole moment change (f·Δμ), and large linear pressure shift rates attributable to electron exchange of dimeric Chl a. The lowest energy state of Synechocystis is at 714 nm. The properties of the 714 and 719 nm states are very similar, suggesting that their dimer structures are also similar. Although the other red antenna states of these cyanobacteria have smaller values for S, f·Δμ, and linear pressure shift rate, these are still larger than typically measured for monomeric antenna Chl a. Possible assignments of red absorption bands to particular chlorophyll dimers or trimer are discussed.

JO - Coal Preparation JF - Coal Preparation Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 22 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 19 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 07349343 AB - In 1997, Custom Coals International completed a DOE contract to test the Micro-Mag Process at the continuous bench-scale at DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). As a follow up to these tests, NETL conducted two series of tests to confirm the Custom Coals results and to expand upon the effects of key operational variables on cyclone performance when using magnetite that is finer than conventional Grade E magnetite. This paper highlights the results of batch tests using a 10 cm (4 in) diameter cyclone in which the variables were magnetite size, medium density, cyclone orifice sizes, and inlet pressure. The results show that fairly sharp separations (about 0.06-0.09 E P ) can be achieved on coal as fine as 300×25 micron (48×500 mesh) if magnetite that is only about twice as fine as Grade E is used at higher inlet pressures (greater than 138 kPa [20 psi]) with the right combination of cyclone orifice sizes.

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 174 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 59 SN - 00102202 AB - Several 2-D imaging techniques including planar laser induced fluorescence for OH (OH-PLIF) have been used to investigate premixed turbulent flame structures under moderate to intense isotropic turbulence. Unconditioned velocity statistics were measured by laser Doppler anemometry. The experiments used a low-swirl burner that produces high intensity near-isotropic turbulence. The goal is to gain better insights into the flame structures at high turbulence and to test and verify the concept of the "distributed reaction zones" regime. Four methane/air flames (φ=0.7) have been studied with 0.5< u ′<2.2 m/s. A linear correlation for the flame speed, S f , is found: S f / S L =2.12 ( u ′/ S L )+1. Sets of 200 OH-PLIF images obtained for each flame clearly show that flame wrinkling is a random process. The probability of the flame having very small wrinkles is relatively low. This strongly suggests that the penetration of small intense eddies into the flame sheet to generate a "distributed reaction zone" is statistically an extremely rare event. The OH-PLIF images were processed to determine statistical properties of the mean flame curvatures and flame lengths for comparison with turbulence intensity and turbulent length scales. The results show that the increase in turbulent kinetic energy generates larger mean curvatures of the flame fronts, and a linear increase in the flame surface area ratio estimated from the mean flame length measurement.

Part B: Engng. 31 (2000) 77] is introduced to develop analytical and numerical models that efficiently predict the behavior of chopped fiber based composites containing microcracks under impact loading. Based on the ensemble-volume averaging process and the first-order effects of eigenstrains due to the existence of chopped fibers and microcracks, an effective yield criterion of the composites is derived. Microcracks in the matrix are considered by employing the Eshelby''s equivalence principle and their influence on the stress–strain relations of the composites is investigated. Further, the Weibull''s probabilistic function is used to model the varying probability of progressive partial fiber debonding. The developed micromechanical constitutive model is then implemented into the finite element code DYNA3D to perform impact simulation of the composites. Finally, numerical simulations for cantilever beam test and composite contact test are carried out to validate the finite element implementation and predict the impact behavior of composite structures.

Ultrananocrystalline diamond with 5–15 nm grain size has been grown with the incorporation of nitrogen up to 8×1020 atoms/cm3. Field emission onsets as low as 2 V/μm have been achieved. UV Raman and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) measurements show an increase in the sp2 content in the films with nitrogen in the plasma compared to films without N2 addition. A model is discussed in which the nitrogen preferentially enters the grain boundaries and promotes sp2 bonding in the neighboring carbon atoms. The increase in the sp2 content appears to improve the field emission properties of the films.

The most challenging type of target in this regard is for laser-driven, direct drive IFE. Spherical capsules with cryogenic DT fuel must be injected into the center of a reaction chamber operating at temperatures as high as 1500 °C and possibly containing as much as 0.5 Torr of xenon fill gas. The DT layer must remain highly symmetric, have a smooth inner ice surface finish, and reach the chamber center at a temperature of about 18.5 K. This target must be positioned at the center of the chamber with a placement accuracy of ±5 mm. The accuracy of alignment of the laser driver beams and the target in its final position must be within ±20 μm. All this must be repeated six times per second. The method proposed to meet these requirements is injecting the targets into the reaction chamber at high speed (∼400 m/s), tracking them, and hitting them on the fly with steerable driver beams. The challenging scientific and technological issues associated with this task are being addressed through a combination of analyses, modeling, materials property measurements, and demonstration tests with representative injection equipment. Measurements of relevant DT properties are planned at Los Alamos National Laboratory. An experimental target injection and tracking system is now being designed to support the development of survivable targets and demonstrate successful injection scenarios. Analyses of target heating are underway. Calculations have shown that the direct drive target must have a highly reflective outer surface to prevent excess heating by thermal radiation. In addition, heating by hot chamber fill gas during injection far outweighs the thermal radiation. It is concluded that the dry-wall, gas-filled reaction chambers must have gas pressures less than previously assumed in order to prevent excessive heating in the current direct drive target designs. An integrated power plant systems study to address this issue has been initiated.

The scope of the IFE element of the VLT includes the fusion chamber, chamber/driver interface, target fabrication and injection, and safety and environmental assessments for IFE. Previous IFE power plant conceptual design studies identified many different driver/chamber/target options and the critical technical issues associated with them. The IFE community (national laboratories, universities and industry) has developed an R&D plan to address the critical issues in these areas in a coordinated manner. This paper provides an overview of the top-level critical issues and the current and proposed research activities to resolve them.

The main objective of the present work is to determine whether or not a continuous-pulsed (CP) approach could be an accurate and practical methodology in modeling the pulsed activation process for operating conditions of FSW materials. To do that, we assess the applicability of the CP model to predict the neutron-induced activation in the FSW material of the HYLIFE-II reactor. It is demonstrated that a CP approach consisting of a continuous irradiation period followed by a series of only a few pulses prior to shutdown can efficiently model the real pulsed operating regime of the FSW material, in terms of both accuracy and CPU time consumption. Pros and cons of the model when compared with an equivalent steady-state (ESS) method are discussed, which is useful to assess how conclusions of earlier activation studies that used the ESS approach might be different when using a more realistic model. Comparison with the exact pulsed (EP) modeling is also performed. Finally, application of the CP model to other inertial confinement fusion operating modes, such as that of the NIF facility, is suggested for future work.

This paper gives results from DENIM, and collaboration with LLNL, on the necessary magnitudes for the final evaluation of neutron damage. The determination of the neutron intensities and energy spectra emerging from the target, the energy spectra of the Primary Knock-on Atoms (PKA) resulting from the neutron interactions, the modeling at microscopic scale of the pulsed irradiation in metals are reported, in addition to reference to the work on the time dependence of neutron flux in IFE protected chamber. Results are also presented on the damage accumulation in SiC, relevant both for magnetic (MFE) and inertial fusion.

The improvements required over Nova debris shields are described. Estimates of debris shield lifetimes in the presence of target emissions with 4–8 J/cm2 laser fluences indicate lifetimes that may contribute unacceptably to operations costs for NIF. We are developing detailed suggested guidance for target and experiment designers for NIF to assist in minimizing the damage to, and therefore the cost of, maintaining NIF debris shields. The guidance suggests a target mass quantity that as particulate on the debris shields (300 mg) may be within current operating budgets. It also suggests the amount of material that should become shrapnel on a shot (10 mg). Finally, it suggests the level of non-volatile residue (NVR) that would threaten the sol–gel coatings on the debris shields (1 μg/cm2). We review the experimentation on the Nova chamber that included measuring quantities of particulate on debris shields by element and capturing shrapnel pieces in aerogel samples mounted in the chamber. We also describe computations of X-ray emissions from a likely NIF target and the associated ablation expected from this X-ray exposure on supporting target hardware. We describe progress in assessing the benefits of a pre-shield and the possible impact on the guidance for target experiments on NIF. Plans for possible experimentation on Omega and other facilities to improve our understanding of target emissions and their impacts are discussed. Our discussion of planned future work provides a forum to invite possible collaboration with the IFE community.

JO - Geochemical Transactions JF - Geochemical Transactions Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 39 SN - 14674866 AB - The Raman spectra of thioarsenite and arsenite species in aqueous solution were obtained at room temperature. Solutions at constant ΣAs + ΣS of 0.1 and 0.5 mol kg-1 were prepared with various ΣS/ΣAs ratios (0.1-9.0) and pH values (~7-13.2). Our data suggest that the speciation of As under the conditions investigated is more complicated than previously thought. The Raman measurements offer evidence for at least six separate S-bearing As species whose principal bands are centered near 365, 385, 390, 400, 415 and 420 cm-1. The data suggest that at least two different species may give rise to bands at 385 cm-1, bringing the probable minimum number of species to seven. Several additional species are possible but could not be resolved definitively. In general, the relative proportions of these species are dependent on total As concentration, ΣS/ΣAs ratio and pH. At very low ΣS/ΣAs ratios we also observe Raman bands attributable to the dissociation products of H3AsO3(aq). Although we were unable to assign precise stoichiometries for the various thioarsenite species, we were able to map out general pH and ΣS/ΣAs conditions under which the various thioarsenite and arsenite species are predominant. This study provides a basis for more detailed Raman spectroscopic and other types of investigations of the nature of thioarsenite species.

The difference in matrix mass absorption at Kα and Kβ fluorescence energies of a particular element can be exploited to yield information on the average depth-position of the element or account for heterogeneity effects. Using this technique, the heterogeneous distribution of Cu in a simple layered sample could be resolved to a 2 × 2 × 10 (x, y, z, where z is the depth coordinate) micrometer scale; a depth-resolution limit was determined for the first transition metal series and several other elements in calcite and iron oxide matrices. For complex heterogeneous systems, determination of average element depth may be computationally limited but the influence of heterogeneity on fluorescence data may still be assessed. We used this method to compare solid-state diffusion with sample heterogeneity across the Ni-serpentine/calcite boundary of a rock from Panoche Creek, California. We previously reported that Ni fluorescence data may indicate solid state diffusion; in fact, sample heterogeneity in the depth dimension can also explain the Ni fluorescence data. Depth heterogeneity in samples can lead to misinterpretation of synchrotron X-ray microprobe results unless care is taken to account for the influence of heterogeneity on fluorescence data.

Cs+ formed inner sphere complexes with the mineral surface, and could be seen to jump from one attracting location near a layer charge site to the next, while water molecules were observed to migrate from the hydration shell of one ion to that of another. Neighboring ions maintained a partial hydration shell by sharing water molecules, such that a single water molecule hydrated two ions simultaneously for hundreds of picoseconds. Cs-montmorillonite hydrates featured the largest extent of this sharing interaction, because interlayer ions were able to inhabit positions near surface cavities as well as at their edges, close to oxygen triads. The greater positional freedom of Cs+ within the montmorillonite interlayer, a result of structural hydroxyl orientation and low tetrahedral charge, promoted the optimization of distances between cations and water molecules required for water sharing. Preference of Cs+ for locations near oxygen triads was observed within interlayer beidellite and hectorite. Water molecules also could be seen to interact directly with the mineral surface, entering its surface cavities to approach attracting charge sites and structural hydroxyls. With increasing water content, water molecules exhibited increased frequency and duration of both cavity habitation and water sharing interactions. Competition between Cs+ and water molecules for surface sites was evident. These important cooperative and competitive features of interlayer molecular behavior were uniquely revealed by animation of an otherwise highly complex simulation output.

JO - Geochemical Transactions JF - Geochemical Transactions Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 81 EP - 101 SN - 14674866 AB - We have identified important chemical reactions that control the fate of metal-contaminated estuarine sediments if they are left undisturbed (in situ) or if they are dredged. We combined information on the molecular bonding of metals in solids from X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with thermodynamic and kinetic driving forces obtained from dissolved metal concentrations to deduce the dominant reactions under reduced and oxidized conditions. We evaluated the in situ geochemistry of metals (cadmium, chromium, iron, lead, manganese and zinc) as a function of sediment depth (to 100 cm) from a 60 year record of contamination at the Alameda Naval Air Station, California. Results from XAS and thermodynamic modeling of porewaters show that cadmium and most of the zinc form stable sulfide phases, and that lead and chromium are associated with stable carbonate, phosphate, phyllosilicate, or oxide minerals. Therefore, there is minimal risk associated with the release of these trace metals from the deeper sediments contaminated prior to the Clean Water Act (1975) as long as reducing conditions are maintained. Increased concentrations of dissolved metals with depth were indicative of the formation of metal HS- complexes. The sediments also contain zinc, chromium, and manganese associated with detrital iron-rich phyllosilicates and/or oxides. These phases are recalcitrant at near-neutral pH and do not undergo reductive dissolution within the 60 year depositional history of sediments at this site. The fate of these metals during dredging was evaluated by comparing in situ geochemistry with that of sediments oxidized by seawater in laboratory experiments. Cadmium and zinc pose the greatest hazard from dredging because their sulfides were highly reactive in seawater. However, their dissolved concentrations under oxic conditions were limited eventually by sorption to or co-precipitation with an iron (oxy)hydroxide. About 50% of the reacted CdS and 80% of the reacted ZnS were bonded to an oxide-substrate at the end of the 90-day oxidation experiment. Lead and chromium pose a minimal hazard from dredging because they are bonded to relatively insoluble carbonate, phosphate, phyllosilicate, or oxide minerals that are stable in seawater. These results point out the specific chemical behavior of individual metals in estuarine sediments, and the need for direct confirmation of metal speciation in order to constrain predictive models that realistically assess the fate of metals in urban harbors and coastal sediments.

This approach is generally viewed only as an interim strategy for the coming decades while other longer-term strategies are developed and implemented — the most important being the direct reduction of carbon emissions. We are concerned that the potential for rapid, disturbance-induced losses may be much greater than is currently appreciated, especially by the decision-making community. Here we wish to: (1) highlight the complex and threshold-like nature of disturbances — such as fire and drought, as well as the erosion associated with each — that could lead to carbon losses; (2) note the global extent of ecosystems that are at risk of such disturbance-induced carbon losses; and (3) call for increased consideration of and research on the mechanisms by which large, rapid disturbance-induced losses of terrestrial carbon could occur. Our lack of ability as a scientific community to predict such ecosystem dynamics is precluding the effective consideration of these processes into strategies and policies related to carbon management and sequestration. Consequently, scientists need to do more to improve quantification of these potential losses and to integrate them into sound, sustainable policy options.

JO - Global Ecology & Biogeography JF - Global Ecology & Biogeography Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 11 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 79 EP - 86 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 1466822X AB - Abstract In many temperate and annual grasslands, above-ground net primary productivity (NPP) can be estimated by measuring peak above-ground biomass. Estimates of below-ground net primary productivity and, consequently, total net primary productivity, are more difficult. We addressed one of the three main objectives of the Global Primary Productivity Data Initiative for grassland systems to develop simple models or algorithms to estimate missing components of total system NPP. Any estimate of below-ground NPP (BNPP) requires an accounting of total root biomass, the percentage of living biomass and annual turnover of live roots. We derived a relationship using above-ground peak biomass and mean annual temperature as predictors of below-ground biomass (r 2 = 0.54; P = 0.01). The percentage of live material was 0.6, based on published values. We used three different functions to describe root turnover: constant, a direct function of above-ground biomass, or as a positive exponential relationship with mean annual temperature. We tested the various models against a large database of global grassland NPP and the constant turnover and direct function models were approximately equally descriptive (r 2 = 0.31 and 0.37), while the exponential function had a stronger correlation with the measured values (r 2 = 0.40) and had a better fit than the other two models at the productive end of the BNPP gradient. When applied to extensive data we assembled from two grassland sites with reliable estimates of total NPP, the direct function was most effective, especially at lower productivity sites. We provide some caveats for its use in systems that lie at the extremes of the grassland gradient and stress that there are large uncertainties associated with measured and modelled estimates of BNPP.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 82 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 4 EP - 13 SN - 00179078 AB - From the 1940’s through the 1970’s, radioactive wastes meeting the current definition of transuranic wastes were disposed of by shallow land burial and other techniques at a number of sites owned and operated by the federal government in support of the nuclear weapons program. After transuranic wastes were identified as a separate category of radioactive wastes (distinct from low-level wastes) in 1970 by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, they were generally segregated and placed in retrievable storage pending the availability of a geologic repository. Updated information on buried transuranic wastes was recently developed to support future decisions on how to manage these materials. This paper summarizes the approach used to develop this information for U.S. Department of Energy facilities and presents the volumes and transuranic activities of these wastes. The total volume of buried transuranic wastes at DOE sites is approximately 126,000 m3 with a much smaller volume (about 11,000 m3) disposed of at intermediate depths. The reported transuranic activity in these previously disposed of wastes is about 28,000 TBq.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 82 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 63 SN - 00179078 AB - Knowledge of dispersion rates and patterns of radioactive aerosols and gases through workrooms is critical for understanding human exposure and for developing strategies for worker protection. The dispersion within rooms can be influenced by complex interactions between numerous variables, but especially ventilation design and room furnishings. For this study, dependence of airflow and aerosol dispersion on workroom geometry (furnishings) and ventilation rate were studied in an experimental room that was designed to approximate a plutonium laboratory. Three different configurations of simulated gloveboxes and two ventilation rates (approximately 6 and 12 air exchanges per hour) were studied. A sonic anemometer was used to measure airflow parameters including all three components of air velocity vectors and turbulence intensity distributions at multiple locations and heights. Aerosol dispersion rates and patterns were measured by releasing aerosols multiple times from six different locations. Aerosol particle concentrations resolved in time and space were measured using 16 multiplexed laser particle counters. Comparisons were made of air velocities, turbulence, and aerosol transport across different ventilation rates and room configurations. A strong influence of ventilation rate on aerosol dispersion rates and air velocity was found, and changes in room geometry had significant effects on aerosol dispersion rates and patterns. These results are important with regards to constant evaluation of placement of air sampling equipment, benchmarking numerical models of room airflow, and design of ventilation and room layouts with consideration of worker safety.

The crystal structure of RAE-1β was distorted from other MHC homologs and displayed noncanonical disulfide bonds. The loss of any remnant of a peptide binding groove was facilitated by the close approach of the groove-defining helices through a hydrophobic, leucine-rich interface. The RAE-1β-murine NKG2D complex structure resembled the human NKG2D-MICA receptor-ligand complex and further demonstrated the promiscuity of the NKG2D ligand binding site.

If correctly incorporated into a reconstruction algorithm, the evanescent field, which carries high spatial frequency information, can be used to achieve resolution beyond the classical limit of λ/2, or “superresolution.” We build on the generalized holography theory presented by Langenberg to develop a planar diffraction tomography algorithm that incorporates evanescent field information to achieve superresolution. Our theory is based on a generalization of the Fourier transform, which allows for complex spatial frequencies in a manner similar to the Laplace transform. We specialize our model to the case of a two-dimensional multimonostatic, wideband imaging system, and derive an extended resolution reconstruction procedure. We implement and apply our reconstruction to two data sets collected using the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Micropower Impulse Radar (MIR). © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Published thermodynamic information for these systems were reviewed and the isopiestic equilibrium molalities and dilution enthalpies were critically assessed and recalculated in a consistent manner. Values of the four parameters of an extended version of Pitzer`s model for osmotic and activity coefficients with an ionic-strength dependent third virial coefficient were evaluated for both systems at both temperatures, as were those of the usual three-parameter Pitzer model. Similarly, parameters of Pitzer`s model for the relative apparent molar enthalpies of dilution were evaluated at T = 298.15 K for both Rb 2SO 4(aq) and Cs 2SO 4(aq) for the more restricted range of m⩽ 0.101 mol · kg − 1. Values of the thermodynamic solubility product Ks(Rb2 SO 4, cr, 298.15 K ) = (0.1392 ± 0.0154) and the CODATA compatible standard molar Gibbs free energy of formationΔfGmo (Rb 2SO 4, cr, 298.15 K ) = − (1316.91 ± 0.59)kJ · mol − 1, standard molar enthalpy of formationΔfHmo (Rb 2SO 4, cr, 298.15 K ) = − (1435.07 ± 0.60)kJ · mol − 1, and standard molar entropy S mo(Rb2 SO 4, cr, 298.15 K ) = (199.60 ± 2.88)J · K − 1· mol − 1were derived. A sample of one of the lots of Rb 2SO 4(s) used for part of our isopiestic measurements was analyzed by ion chromatography, and was found to be contaminated with potassium and cesium in amounts that significantly exceeded the claims of the supplier. In contrast, analysis by ion chromatography of a lot of Cs 2SO 4(s) used for some of our experiments showed it was highly pure.

Characterization of potential contaminant plumes at such sites is difficult, both experimentally and numerically. Simulations of water flow through fractured rock were performed to examine the penetration depth of a large pulse of water entering such a system. Construction water traced with lithium bromide was released during the excavation of a tunnel at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, which is located in an unsaturated fractured tuff formation. Modeling of construction-water migration is qualitatively compared with bromide-to-chloride ratio (Br/Cl) data for pore-water salts extracted from drillcores. The influences of local heterogeneities in the fracture network and variations in hydrogeologic parameters were examined by sensitivity analyses and Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results are qualitatively consistent with the observed Br/Cl signals, although these data may only indicate a minimum penetration depth, and water may have migrated farther through the fracture network.

This model assumed the electric potential field was constant with respect to time, an assumption valid for highly buffered soil, or when the electrode electrolysis reactions are neutralized. The model also assumed constant moisture contents and temperature with respect to time, and that electroosmotic and hydraulic transport of water through the soil was negligible. A functional relationship between ionic mobility and the electrolyte concentration was estimated using the chemical activity coefficient. Tortuosity was calculated from a mathematical relationship fitted to the electrical conductivity of the bulk pore water and soil moisture data. The functional relationship between ionic mobility, pore-water concentration, and tortuosity as a function of moisture content allowed the model to predict ion transport in heterogeneous unsaturated soils. The model was tested against laboratory measurements assessing anionic electromigration as a function of moisture content. In the test cell, a strip of soil was spiked with red dye No 40 and monitored for a 24-h period while a 10-mA current was maintained between the electrodes. Electromigration velocities predicted by the electromigration transport model were in agreement with laboratory experimental results. Both laboratory-measured and model-predicted dye migration results indicated a maximum transport velocity at moisture contents less than saturation due to competing effects between current density and tortuosity as moisture content decreases.

The numerical model was based on the groundwater flow and transport codes MODFLOW and MT3D modified to account for electrically induced ion transport. The 6-month field demonstration was conducted in an unsaturated layered soil profile where the soil moisture content ranged from 4% to 28% (m3 m−3). Specially designed ceramic-cased electrodes maintained a steady-state moisture content and electric potential field between the electrodes during the field demonstration. Acetate, a byproduct of acetic acid neutralization of the cathode electrolysis reaction, was transported from the cathode to the anode by electromigration. Field demonstration results indicated preferential transport of acetate through soil layers exhibiting higher moisture content/electrical conductivity. These field transport results agree with theoretical predictions that electromigration velocity is proportional to a power function of the effective moisture content. A numerical model using a homogeneous moisture content/electrical conductivity domain did not adequately predict the acetate field results. Numerical model predictions using a three-layer electrical conductivity/moisture content profile agreed qualitatively with the observed acetate distribution. These results suggest that field heterogeneities must be incorporated into electrokinetic models to predict ion transport at the field-scale.

Despite the importance of the cell envelope as a protective barrier, knocking out the loricrin gene in mice results in only mild syndromes. We have investigated the epidermis and forestomach epithelium of these mice by electron microscopy. In both tissues, corneocytes have normal-looking cell envelopes, despite the absence of loricrin, which was confirmed by immunolabeling, and the absence of the distinctive loricrin-containing keratohyalin granules (L-granules). Isolated cell envelopes were normal in thickness (≈15 nm) and mass per unit area (≈7.3 kDa per nm2 ); however, metal shadowing revealed an altered substructure on their cytoplasmic surface. Their amino acid compositions indicate altered protein compositions. Analysis of these data implies that the epidermal cell envelopes have elevated levels of the small proline-rich proteins, and cell envelopes of both kinds contain other protein(s) that, like loricrin, are rich in glycine and serine. These observations imply that, in the absence of loricrin, the mechanisms that govern cell envelope assembly function normally but employ different building-blocks.

JO - Journal of Paleolimnology JF - Journal of Paleolimnology Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 27 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 117 EP - 131 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09212728 AB - Stratigraphic shifts in the oxygen isotopic (δ18O) and trace element (Mg and Sr) composition of biogenic carbonate from tropical lake sediment cores are often interpreted as a proxy record of the changing relation between evaporation and precipitation (E/P). Holocene δ18O and Mg and Sr records from Lakes Salpetén and Petén Itzá, Guatemala were apparently affected by drainage basin vegetation changes that influenced watershed hydrology, thereby confounding paleoclimatic interpretations. Oxygen isotope values and trace element concentrations in the two lowland lakes were greatest between ~ 9000 and 6800 14C-yr BP, suggesting relatively high E/P, but pollen data indicate moist conditions and extensive forest cover in the early Holocene. The discrepancy between pollen- and geochemically-inferred climate conditions may be reconciled if the high early Holocene δ18O and trace element values were controlled principally by low surface runoff and groundwater flow to the lake, rather than high E/P. Dense forest cover in the early Holocene would have increased evapotranspiration and soil moisture storage, thereby reducing delivery of meteoric water to the lakes. Carbonate δ18O and Mg and Sr decreased between 7200 and 3500 14C-yr BP in Lake Salpetén and between 6800 and 5000 14C-yr BP in Lake Petén Itzá. This decline coincided with palynologically documented forest loss that may have led to increased surface and groundwater flow to the lakes. In Lake Salpetén, minimum δ18O values (i.e., high lake levels) occurred between 3500 and 1800 14C-yr BP. Relatively high lake levels were confirmed by 14C-dated aquatic gastropods from subaerial soil profiles ~ 1.0–7.5 m above present lake stage. High lake levels were a consequence of lower E/P and/or greater surface runoff and groundwater inflow caused by human-induced deforestation.

IPNS operates a user program for 11 instruments 25 weeks per year with a call for proposals every 6 months. As a medium-flux user facility, it serves the needs of the broader scientific community while providing training in the design and use of neutron scattering instruments for the next generation of scientists. The instruments at IPNS are continually being upgraded and evaluated; a significantly improved quasielastic neutron spectrometer was commissioned in 2000, and a similar enhancement on the high-resolution, medium-energy-range chopper spectrometer is currently underway. An enhancement plan, which includes improvements to most of the instruments and would approximately double the scientific throughput of IPNS, was recently reviewed and highly recommended. IPNS has lead responsibility for neutron scattering instruments for the Spallation Neutron Source being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and has played a leading role in developing a proposal for target station and instruments for a long wavelength target station submitted in January 2001 to the National Science Foundation. Through these and other projects, IPNS will continue to be a source and testbed for novel neutron scattering instrumentation concepts. Thus, IPNS will play a vital role in the global neutron scattering community for the foreseeable future.

The effect is attributed to magnetophonon resonance of 2DEG with thermally excited leaky interface-acoustic phonons. Results from Fourier analysis of the temperature dependence data are consistent with a model in which two branches of phonon modes contribute to the resonance.

With increasing magnetic field, the optical spectra of the electronic system changes its appearance from Landau-level-like with a linear shift of lines, to excitonic-like with a diamagnetic shift. The transition occurs at filling factor 2. Pronounced oscillatory features at even filling factors are found for the luminescence intensity and polarization degree, the energy of optical transitions, and in ODR signal.

The peak flux at the time of the storm was found to be 0.81±0.06 meteoroids km−2 hr−1 Mv<+6.5. using 15 min binning and 0.99±0.11 meteoroids km−2 hr−1 Mv<+6.5 for 3 min intervals. The smaller temporal resolution reveals a broad plateau in flux lasting from approximately λ0=235.276235.285° (J2000.0). At least one significant feature in the rate curve is apparent near 235.272°, which we suggest is associated with material released in 1932. The video mass distribution index over the course of the Leonid storm was found to be constant near s=1.75. The peak time of the storm estimated from 15 min sampling of the flux profile is near 235.283±0.005° (1h58m±7m) while 3 min resolution data place the maximum at 235.281±0.003° (1h55m±4m). The mean radiant position at the time of the storm was found to be α=153.1±0.1° and δ=21.5±0.2° (J2000), with some hint of a more compact radiant grouping within the range α=153154° and δ=2122°. We do not find evidence for any significant high altitude Leonid population at video masses despite biasing one camera pair to an intersection altitude of 160 km.

This paper proposes using Bayesian tolerance interval control limits which control the probability content at a specified level with a given confidence. Bayesian tolerance interval control limits are developed for np, p, c and u charts and are illustrated with four examples from the literature.

Within the last decade two new techniques have promised to remedy this situation. These techniques, optically stimulated luminescence and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating, enable the age of many glacial features to be determined and have allowed us to study the extent and timing of Himalayan glaciation in the late Quaternary. New data show that the local Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) occurred during the early part of the last glacial cycle, in most areas during marine isotope stage 3 (MIS-3). MIS-3 was a time of increased insolation, when the South Asian summer monsoon strengthened and penetrated further north into the Himalaya. The concomitant increased precipitation, occurring as snow at high altitudes, produced positive glacier mass balances, thereby allowing glaciers to advance. On the other hand, during the global LGM, ∼18–24 ka, Himalayan glaciation was very restricted in extent, generally extending <10 km from contemporary ice margins. Lower insolation at this time produced a weaker monsoon cycle, which in turn resulted in lower snowfall and snow accumulation at high altitudes. The modest advances that nevertheless did occur at this time are the result of reduced temperatures.

The estimates are earth-model dependent and parameters are chosen that minimize discrepancies between the individual estimates for each region. Good coherence between estimates from different localities has been found. The main conclusions are: (i) Ice volumes approached their maximum values 30 000 (calendar) years ago and remained nearly constant until 19 000 years ago. This defines the period of maximum global glaciation. (ii) The post-LGM sea-level rise is marked by changes in rates with maximum rates of about 15 mm/year occurring from 16,000 to 12,500 years ago and again from 11,500 to 9000 years ago. Ice volumes in the interval between these two periods of rapid rise, corresponding to the Younger Dryas, is nearly constant. (iii) The melting at the end of the LGM is characterized by an initially high rate over about 500 years followed by about 2500 years of a comparatively slow increase in ocean volume. (iv) The lead into the LGM is characterized by a sea-level fall of about 50 m occurring within a few thousand years. Similar rates of falling and rising sea levels occur during the earlier part of the oxygen isotope stage 3 interval.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/01// VL - 38 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 9-1 EP - 9-17 SN - 00431397 AB - The chemical and isotope (11B/10B, 87Sr/86Sr, 18O/16O, 2H/H, 13C/12C, 14C, and 3He/3H) compositions of groundwater from the upper aquifer system of the Salinas Valley in coastal central California were investigated in order to delineate the origin and processes of groundwater contamination in this complex system. The Salinas Valley has a relatively deep, confined '400-foot' aquifer, overlain by a '180-foot' aquifer and a shallower perched aquifer, all made up of alluvial sand, gravel and clay deposits. Groundwater from the aquifers have different 14C ages: fossil (14C = 21.3 percent modern carbon (pmc) for the 400-foot aquifer and modern (14C = 72.2-98.2 pmc) for the 180-foot aquifer. Fresh groundwater in all aquifers is recharged naturally and artificially through the Salinas River. The two modes of recharge can be distinguished chemically. We identified several different saline components with distinguishable chemical and isotopic fingerprints. (1) Saltwater intrusion in the northern basin has C1 concentrations up to 1700 mg/L, a Na/Cl ratio less than seawater, a marine Br/Cl ratio, a Ca/Cl ratio greater than seawater, δ11B between +17 and +38‰ and 87Sr/86Sr between 0.7088 and 0.7096. Excess dissolved Ca, relative to the expected concentration for simple dilution of seawater, correlates with 87Sr/86Sr ratios, suggesting base exchange reaction with clay materials. (2) Agriculture return flow is high in NO3 and SO4, with a 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7082,δ11B =19‰and δ13C between −23 and −17‰. The 3H-3He ages (5-17 years) and 14C data suggest vertical infiltration rates of irrigation water of 3-10 m/yr. (3) Nonmarine saline water in the southern part of the valley has high total dissolved solids up to 3800 mg/L, high SO4, Na/Cl ratio >1, δ11B between +24 and +30‰, and 87Sr/86Sr = 0.70852. This groundwater may have acquired its geochemical signature from leaching of sedimentary rocks associated with the Coast Range marine deposits of Mesozoic to early Cenozoic age. The combination of different geochemical and isotopic fingerprints enables us to delineate the impact of salt sources in different areas of the valley and to reconstruct the origin of the SO4-enriched NO3-depleted saline plume that is located west of the city of Salinas. We suggest that the latter is derived from a mixture of different natural saline waters rather than from anthropogenic contamination.

SN - 00496979 AB - Concentrations of mercury (Hg) in live foliage increased ten-fold from spring bud break (mean ± std. dev. from both sites: 3.5±1.3 ng g-1) to autumn litterfall (36±8 ng g-1). Mercury in foliage did not behave similarly to eight other elements with known soil or aerosol sources (Aluminum (Al), Vanadium (V), Strontium (Sr), Rubidium (Rb), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Barium (Ba), and lead (Pb)), suggesting that Hg originated from a distinct pathway. Based on measured and modeled data, uptake of only 25% of the available ambient dry deposited Hg0 could explain all of the Hg measured in foliage throughout the growing season. Estimates of gaseous elemental Hg (Hg0) uptake from soil water accounted for 3–14%% of the Hg in litterfall. Mercury deposition to forested sites in the Lake Champlain and Lake Huron basins was highest in litterfall (40%), followed by total throughfall (33%), and precipitation (27%). The Hg flux in litterfall was 15.8±1.9~μg m-2 yr-1 to the Lake Champlain Watershed in 1995 and was 11.4±2.8~μg m-2 yr-1 to the Lake Huron Watershed in 1996. In comparison, the Hg fluxes in precipitation and total throughfall were 9.0±0.6 and 11.6±0.7~μg m-2 yr-1 in the Lake Champlain Watershed (1995), and 8.7±0.5 and 10.5±1.0~μg m-2 yr-1 in the Lake Huron Watershed (1996).

SN - 00496979 AB - A field study was conducted in June of 1998 to characterize the dynamics of dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) in the Tahquamenon River watershed and nearshore waters of Whitefish Bay in the Upper Michigan Peninsula. We found that over a transect across the watershed, DGM levels increased generally from a creek (mean = ∼12 pg L-1), passing through the watershed, to the nearshore surface waters of the bay (mean = ∼29 pg L-1). DGM levels in nearshore surface waters of the bay ranged from ∼15 to ∼50 pg L-1 and peaked generally around noontime, exhibiting diurnal trends. A significant DGM decline from ∼32 pg L-1 in the early morning to ∼15 pg L-1 during the day was observed in these surface waters following passage of a cold front, probably caused by wind-induced mixing and decrease in solar radiation associated with the frontal passage.

We have determined the crystal structure of human GABARAP at 1.6 A˚ resolution. The structure comprises an N-terminal helical subdomain and a ubiquitin-like C-terminal domain. Structure-based mutational analysis demonstrates that the N-terminal subdomain is responsible for tubulin binding while the C-terminal domain contains the binding site for the GABAA. A second GABARAP crystal form was determined at 1.9 A˚ resolution and documents that GABARAP can self-associate in a head-to-tail manner. The structural details of this oligomerization reveal how GABARAP can both promote tubulin polymerization and facilitate GABAA receptor clustering.

This unique event has an Einstein radius crossing time of 640 d. The high-quality data obtained with difference image analysis shows a small but significant parallax signature. This parallax effect allows one to determine the Einstein radius projected on to the observer plane as . The transverse velocity projected on to the observer plane is about 79 km s[sup -1]. We argue that the lens is likely to have a mass of at least a few solar masses, i.e. it could be a stellar black hole. The black hole hypothesis can be tested using the astrometric microlensing signature with the soon-to-be installed Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Deep X-ray and radio images may also be useful for revealing the nature of the object.

Electron-beam energies ranged from 1 to 9 keV. Without electron irradiation, about 1 monolayer (ML) of oxygen adsorbs on the TiN surface and metal oxidation occurs. The characteristic of oxygen adsorption is discussed in terms of the relationship of gas-sticking probability with coverage within the first ML regime. Under electron irradiation, carbon accumulates on the surface, in addition to oxygen adsorption, which modifies the surface chemistry to an extent that depends on the vacuum conditions, electron current density, and electron beam energy. For high-energy electron beams, electron bombardment induces TiC formation.

T1 - Sorption of Cs+ to micaceous subsurface sediments from the Hanford site, USA JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2002/01/15/ VL - 66 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 193 SN - 00167037 AB - The sorption of Cs+ was investigated over a large concentration range (10−9−10−2 mol/L) on subsurface sediments from a United States nuclear materials site (Hanford) where high-level nuclear wastes (HLW) have been accidentally released to the vadose zone. The sediment sorbs large amounts of radiocesium, but expedited migration has been observed when HLW (a NaNO3 brine) is the carrier. Cs+ sorption was measured on homoionic sediments (Na+, K+, Ca2+) with electrolyte concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 mol/L. In Na+ electrolyte, concentrations were extended to near saturation with NaNO3(s) (7.0 mol/L). The sediment contained nonexpansible (biotite, muscovite) and expansible (vermiculite, smectite) phyllosilicates. The sorption data were interpreted according to the frayed edge-planar site conceptual model. A four-parameter, two-site (high- and low-affinity) numeric ion exchange model was effective in describing the sorption data. The high-affinity sites were ascribed to wedge zones on the micas where particle edges have partially expanded due to the removal of interlayer cations during weathering, and the low-affinity ones to planar sites on the expansible clays. The electrolyte cations competed with Cs+ for both high- and low-affinity sites according to the trend K+ >> Na+ ≥ Ca2+. At high salt concentration, Cs+ adsorption occurred only on high-affinity sites. Na+ was an effective competitor for the high-affinity sites at high salt concentrations. In select experiments, silver-thiourea (AgTU) was used as a blocking agent to further isolate and characterize the high-affinity sites, but the method was found to be problematic. Mica particles were handpicked from the sediment, contacted with Cs+(aq), and analyzed by electron microprobe to identify phases and features important to Cs+ sorption. The microprobe study implied that biotite was the primary contributor of high-affinity sites because of its weathered periphery. The poly-phase sediment exhibited close similarity in ion selectivity to illite, which has been well studied, although its proportion of high-affinity sites relative to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) was lower than that of illite. Important insights are provided on how Na+ in HLW and indigenous K+ displaced from the sediments may act to expedite the migration of strongly sorbing Cs+ in subsurface environments.

This effort extends a nucleation criterion, previously applied to tensile-loaded, adhesively bonded butt joints, to another geometry and type of loading. Loading by thermally induced straining complicates the application of a nucleation criterion based upon parameters defining the asymptotic stress fields at the interface edge (i.e. at the edge discontinuity defined by the intersection of the interface and stress-free boundary). In contrast to the tensile-loaded butt joint, where the magnitude of asymptotic stress state is fully characterized by a single interface-edge stress intensity factor Ka, an additional, non-negligible r-independent regular term Ka0 always exists for thermally induced strains. In the present work, a direct extension of the previously used nucleation criterion is applied: crack nucleation occurs when Ka=Kac, but with the stipulation that interface-edge toughness Kac depends on Ka0.

In addition to the environmental impact these electrons have on space-hardware in MEO and GEO orbits, and their obvious impact on space weather, the scientific issues surrounding the transport, acceleration and loss of these particles in the inner magnetosphere have not been fully resolved. One of the prime difficulties in understanding the dynamics of relativistic electrons is their somewhat uncorrelated behavior with regard to the major solar wind drivers of the Earth''s magnetospheric dynamics (solar wind velocity, density and magnetic field strength/direction) and the major indices representing these dynamics (Dst, Ae, Kp). Relativistic electrons observed at geosynchronous altitude reach their peak several days after the onset of a magnetic storm, and a wide range of responses can occur for seemingly similar geomagnetic disturbances/storms. We give here a review and comparison of the current state of research into relativistic electron dynamics, covering simple diffusion, substorm acceleration, ULF wave acceleration, recirculation by ULF waves or plasmaspheric hiss. We present the results of a recent statistical study which has identified the presence of sufficient ULF wave power for a duration of at least 12 h during a storm as being the most geoeffective indicator of subsequent relativistic electron enhancements at geosynchronous altitudes. For completeness we also briefly examine some of the problems and ideas related to relativistic electron losses.

Layered LiNi1−xMxO2 samples (M= Cu2+, Al3+ and Ti4+, where 0.025≤x≤0.2) were prepared by solid state reaction at 750 °C under an oxygen stream and subjected to powder X-ray diffraction analysis and coin-cell tests. The Cu2+-substituted samples showed poor structural stability and electrochemical performance, while the Al3+- and Ti4+-substituted samples formed highly ordered and phase-pure layered compounds. Of the three compounds tested, the LiNi1−xTixO2 electrodes exhibited the highest capacity and best electrochemical reversibility. Indeed, the LiNi0.975Ti0.025O2 electrode achieved the highest reversible capacity and energy density (900 Wh/kg) of all known layered LiNiO2 or LiCoO2 electrodes. Indications are that the structural integrity of the LiNi1−xTixO2 materials was preserved because the Ti4+ ions prevented impurity Ni2+ migration into the lithium sites. The substitution of tetravalent titanium into lithium nickelate has proved to yield promising cathode materials and further studies are needed to optimize electrode composition and processing conditions.

Species variability in benthic foraminiferal and diatom assemblages provides additional palaeoceanographic evidence. AMS radiocarbon dating of the sediments and oxygen isotope stratigraphy serve as the basis for the age models of the cores for the last 20 14C kyr and for correlation between environmental variations in the Okhotsk Sea, and regional and global climate changes. Benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the two cores (depth 1590 and 1175 m) varied with time, so that we could recognise seven zones with different species composition. Changes in the benthic foraminiferal assemblages parallel major environmental and productivity variations. During the last glaciation, fluxes of organic matter to the sea floor showed strong seasonal variations, indicated by the presence of abundant A. weddellensis and infaunal Uvigerina spp. Benthic foraminiferal assemblages changed with warming at 12.5–11 and 10–8 14C kyr BP, when productivity blooms and high organic fluxes were coeval with global meltwater pulses 1A and 1B. Younger Dryas cooling caused a decline in productivity (11–10 kyr BP) affecting the benthic faunal community. Subsequent warming triggered intensive diatom production, opal accumulation and a strong oxygen deficiency, causing significant changes in benthic fauna assemblages from 5.26–4.4 kyr BP to present time.

These structures are spontaneously generated during the epitaxial growth by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy. Transmission electron microscopy reveals the structural details and electro-modulated reflectance is used to characterize the energy and anisotropy of the optical transitions in the lateral superlattices. We demonstrate several properties of these self-assembled structures: (a) the band gap energy can be changed by as much as 350 meV, (b) the polarization anisotropy of the lowest energy transition exceeds 90%, (c) the superlattice axis and the direction of the optical anisotropy can be oriented along two non-equivalent directions in the plane of the substrate, and (d) the valence band splitting between heavy- and light-hole transitions is significant. We discuss the difference between the samples from the two growth techniques. Finally, we theoretically model the electronic states in these lateral superlattices and we demonstrate that the difference in average InAs composition between the well and barrier can be as high as 35%.

The bias of f.e.m mesh discretization errors is eliminated or minimized by extrapolation, using rational functions, rather than the power series representation of Richardson extrapolation. Examples, including estimation of the vibrational frequency of a one-dimensional bar, show that the rational function model gives more accurate estimates using fewer terms than Richardson extrapolation, an important consideration for computational reliability assessment of high-consequence systems, where small biases in solutions can significantly affect the accuracy of small-magnitude probability estimates. Rational function representation of discretization error enable the user to accurately extrapolate to the continuum from numerical experiments performed outside the asymptotic region of the usual power series, allowing use of coarser meshes in the numerical experiments, resulting in significant savings.

Six separate desorption events are clearly observed and four desorbing species are identified: CCl4, OCCl2, C2Cl4 and FeCl2. It is proposed that OCCl2, CCl4 and C2Cl4 are produced in reactions involving the same precursor, CCl2. Three reaction paths compete for the CCl2 precursor: oxygen atom abstraction (for OCCl2), molecular recombinative desorption (for CCl4) and associative desorption (for C2Cl4). During the TPR/D temperature ramp, the branching ratio is observed to depend upon temperature and the availability of reactive sites. The data are consistent with a rich site-dependent chemistry.

Treatment strategies may be tailored to individuals based on tumor cell kinetics. The model incorporates intra-tumor heterogeneity and evolution of drug resistance, apoptotic rates, and cell division rates. Tumor growth may follow an exponential or a Gompertzian trajectory. Drug pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic models are used. Toxicity is modeled in several ways.Results: A key prediction of KITT is that including cytostatic drugs like tamoxifen and herceptin during treatment with cytotoxic drugs substantially increases the probability of cure and prolongs patient life. Results also suggest that altering drug scheduling may be more effective but not more toxic than dose escalation. CAF chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, and 5-fluorouracil) is predicted to be more effective than CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil). KITT also suggests that tumors with a high proliferative index (PI) may respond better to drug combinations incorporating two cell-cycle phase-specific drugs than do tumors with a low PI. Tumors with a low PI, in contrast, are predicted to respond better to regimens involving two cell-cycle phase-non-specific drugs than do tumors with a high PI. These predictions are borne out by clinical trial results published in the literature, which are discussed.Simulated predictions of the model match well with results from a clinical trial by Silvestrini et al. (2000. Int. J. Cancer87, 405). The results of simulating the growth of 26896 tumors are used to construct a decision tree for prognosis to identify the key tumor and treatment variables.Conclusion: Additional tests of the model are needed in which physicians collect information on apoptotic and proliferative indices, cell-cycle times, and drug resistance from biopsies of each individual''s tumor. Computational models may become important tools to help optimize and tailor cancer treatments.

All VLPC chips were characterized in the presence of a 20 MHz background of photoelectrons. The acceptance rate was 87%. The operating bias ranges from 5.8 to 8.0 V, the gain from 20 000 to 60 000, and the threshold from 5 to 15 fC.

Thus, the energetics of bound states in different dimensions is of interest. By considering the quantum square well in continuous D dimensions, it is shown that there is always a bound state for 0. This binding is complete for D→0 and exponentially small for D→2−. For D>2, a finite-sized well is always needed for there to be a bound state. This size grows like D2 as D gets large. By adding the proper angular momentum tail, a volcano, zero-energy, bound state can be obtained.

Micro Raman spectroscopy (MRS) and classic composite shear-lag models were coupled to examine the time evolution of fiber and matrix strain/stress distributions around a single fiber break in planar low volume fraction graphite fiber–epoxy matrix composites. In-situ MRS micro-scale measurements show that strain redistribution around the fiber fracture is time-dependent and localized. We observe decreases in peak interfacial shear stress and concomitant increases in load recovery length and interfacial inelastic zones from the fiber fracture point. These results showing the time dependence of load transfer are related to creep tests on the monolithic matrix material at various stress levels. The translation of monolithic to in-situ matrix creep is achieved using two viscoelastic matrix composite models, a multi-fiber and a single fiber model. MRS results show that the load recovery length increases at the rate of (T/Tc)α/2 and the maximum interfacial shear stress relaxes at the rate of (T/Tc)−α/2, where T is time, Tc and α are parameters obtained from matrix creep tests. These results are in good agreement with the multi-fiber model predictions. The single fiber model gives similar results for these samples where the fiber spacing is relatively large (5∼7 fiber diameters).

Using this synthesized MGH, the dissociation rate was measured by depressurizing method. From experimental results, the kinetic dissociation rate equation and order of the reaction were derived. It was found through experiments that the dissociation rate could be adjusted by the control of sediment properties. With respect to MGH formation reaction, the reaction rate equation and its reaction order were also derived.

This surface was mounted on the back trapping plate of the Infinity® cell of a Bruker BioApex 7T ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer on the B-field axis orthogonal to the ion beam direction. Internal energy deposition was deduced from fragmentation spectra using a recursive internal energy distribution search method. The efficiency of energy transfer into the ion slowly increases with incident ion energy to a maximum value of 20% at about 23 eV collision energy. Approximate kinetic energy distributions of the fragments were measured by deducing the dependence of ion abundance on trapping potential. From the kinetic energy dependence on mass we infer that rapid decomposition of the molecular cation occurs after it recoils from the surface. Knowledge of both internal and kinetic energy distributions of collisionally activated ions enabled us to deduce the energy deposited into the self-assembled monolayer as a function of collision energy.

Anharmonic vibrational wave functions have been computed, and previously unavailable transition moments and infrared intensities have been obtained along with dipole moments for the lower vibrational states. A refined theoretical prediction is made for the dipole moment μe, and the performance of the CCSD(T) method with the above basis sets is investigated for several other molecular constants for which experimental values are available.

Raman analysis with portable instrumentation is a new capability that can provide emergency response teams with on-site evaluation of hazardous materials. Before Raman analysis is accepted and implemented in the field, realistic studies applied to unknown samples need to be performed to define the reliability of this technique. Studies described herein provide a rigorous blind field test that utilizes two instruments and two operators to analyze a matrix that consists of 58 unknown samples. Samples were searched against a custom hazardous materials reference library (Hazardous Material Response Unit (HMRU) Spectral Library Database). Experimental design included a number of intentionally difficult situations including binary solvent mixtures and a variety of compounds that yield medium-quality spectra that were not contained in the HMRU library. Results showed that over 97% of the samples were correctly identified with no occurrences of false positive identifications (compounds that were not in the library were never identified as library constituents). Statistical analysis indicated equivalent performance for both the operators and instruments. These results indicate a high level of performance that should extrapolate to actual field situations. Implementation of Raman techniques to emergency field situations should proceed with a corresponding level of confidence.

This enzyme is present in prokaryotes and fungi (but not multicellular eukaryotes) and is an important member of the pyrimidine salvage pathway in those organisms. The same enzyme also catalyzes the conversion of 5-fluorocytosine to 5-fluorouracil; this activity allows the formation of a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent from a non-cytotoxic precursor. The enzyme is of widespread interest both for antimicrobial drug design and for gene therapy applications against tumors. The structure of Escherichia coli CD has been determined in the presence and absence of a bound mechanism-based inhibitor. The enzyme forms an (αβ)8 barrel structure with structural similarity to adenosine deaminase, a relationship that is undetectable at the sequence level, and no similarity to bacterial cytidine deaminase. The enzyme is packed into a hexameric assembly stabilized by a unique domain-swapping interaction between enzyme subunits. The active site is located in the mouth of the enzyme barrel and contains a bound iron ion that coordinates a hydroxyl nucleophile. Substrate binding involves a significant conformational change that sequesters the reaction complex from solvent.

Elemental fractionation during laser desorption and ablation sampling was investigated by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The experiments were carried out in two different power density regimes by using a Nd-YAG laser with 266 nm wavelength and single 6 ns laser pulses. In the high power density regime (>0.04–0.07 GW/cm2) the effect of the laser power density on ablation behavior was similar for the two materials. In the low power density regime (<0.04–0.07 GW/cm2) large differences have been found between the alloy and the quasicrystal. The results are interpreted on the basis of a thermodynamic vaporization process for the intermetallic alloy. An electronic model of localized excitation is suggested for the physical process of surface material removal from a quasicrystal.

The two-pulse technique allows direct observation of solid state and surface dynamics on a femtosecond timescale. We find the ion yield, from 265 nm irradiated MgO and KBr, depends critically on the time delay between pulses. For example, the Mg+ desorption yield displays three distinct features; a coherence peak followed by a fast rise and decay features. In contrast, the yield of K+ from KBr displays only the coherence peak and picosecond decay features. The observed ion detection thresholds suggest that, although the nanosecond laser ion desorption mechanism may be dominated by defect photoabsorption, significant electron–hole pair production may contribute to the femtosecond laser desorption mechanism. By determining the ultrafast time-dependence of positive ion emission, we hope to reveal the mechanism of laser ion desorption for both regimes.

The rotary resonance effect can enhance the efficiency of MQMAS experiment for high-resolution NMR spectra of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei [J. Chem. Phys. 114 (2001) 4618]. Using a spin-1/2 formalism and Floquet theorem, the spin dynamics of a spin-3/2 under rf irradiation and magic-angle sample spinning is solved analytically in a doubly rotating frame. The results show an oscillatory behavior of MQ excitation with nulls at ω1=nωr/2, where ω1 represents the rf field strength and ωr is the spinning frequency. Efficient MQ excitation occurs between these nulls and MQ conversion peaks at ω1=nωr. The origin of the rotary resonance phenomenon is related to frequency shift of a general two-level system under a randomly modulated periodic perturbation.

As an application of the analytical results, we determined the observational constraint for the dissipation term compatible with COBE observation of the cosmic microwave radiation anisotropy for some specific models.

The fractal descriptions are chosen in accord with particle-size distributions of two soils at the US Department of Energy Hanford Site. One of the two soils exhibits a bimodal particle-size distribution, and is treated as a “dual” fractal. The results are then compared with measured hydraulic properties of these two soils. The analysis yields excellent agreement with experiment over 4–6 orders of magnitude in most investigated properties without use of fitting parameters. It is possible to show that such unusual phenomena as a sudden increase in the spread of K values with reduction of matric potential can be traced to effects of a bimodal distribution of pore sizes. The least certain parameter for calculation of K is the “critical volume fraction”, αc, which describes the minimum water content for which an interconnected network of capillary flow exists. The values deduced for αc, however, allow consistent interpretation in both soils investigated (in contrast to fitted values of a “residual moisture content” obtained by application of the van Genuchten function). Further, values of αc obtained correspond well with threshold moisture contents for solute diffusion reported elsewhere, evidence for the relevance of percolation to dispersion.

Such issues are important in the growing research area involving the merging of biological materials and MEMS devices. We have examined the surface compatibility of uncoated and coated microfabricated glass and semiconductor surfaces under static solution (cell culture) and flow experiments (microfluidic device) using glial (astrocyte and glioblastoma) cells. Bare semiconductor and glass surfaces were most attractive to cell adhesion, promoting biofouling under both static and flow conditions. Passivation of the surfaces was performed with silane coupling agents octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS) or N-(triethoxysilylpropyl)-O-polyethylene oxide urethane (TESP) on SiO2 surfaces via self-assembled monolayer (SAM) deposition. The hydrophilic TESP coating was effective at inhibiting biofouling of the microfluidic structure, allowing greater than several minutes of fluid flow. The hydrophobic OTMS coating, on the other hand, promoted cell adhesion leading to restricted flow within a few minutes. Interestingly, under cell culture conditions the TESP surface exhibited biocompatible properties for glial cell adhesion and proliferation, in contrast to the OTMS surface which resisted cell growth. These studies suggest that cell adhesion is dependent upon the time domain of the cell–surface interaction.

SN - 00068314 AB - In this paper, we use a two-dimensional eddy-resolved model to investigate the instability of a parallel shear flow in a stably stratified boundary layer whose lower domain is occupied by a canopy. The results support our contention that wave motion in the canopy is initiated by shear in an air layer near the treetops. Significant modification by the wave motion of the mean velocity and temperature fields is found even before the wave reaches saturation. The wave fluxes of momentum and heat are not constant with height. Downwind tilting braids are found at the finite amplitude stage of the wave growth and could persist after wave breaking; these downwind tilting structures are believed to be the same as the temperature microfronts reported in the literature. We also present an analysis of the velocity and temperature fields of an observed wave event in the time-height domain and show that the simulation has captured the broad features of the observation.

Upon doping with cell surface receptor GM1 ganglioside, fluid vesicular structures start to emerge, coexisting with the micro-crystalline helical ribbons. The vesicle formation is further facilitated and stabilized by the introduction of cholesterol into the system, presumably through surface curvature variation induced by inhomogeneous distribution and dynamic clustering of GM1 and cholesterol within the doped assemblies. Extended helical ribbons are ‘truncated’ into patches of flat sheets when a sufficient amount of Bis-1, a structurally compatible symmetric bolaamphiphilic diacetylene lipid, is doped. The results reaffirm the important roles of packing geometry and headgroup chirality in the formation of extended helical ribbon structures. The doped assemblies of bolaamphiphiles allow for capture of intermediate structures of morphological transformation using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A vesicle-to-ribbon transformation mechanism via lateral reorganization within relatively fluid vesicular microstructures has been suggested. Understanding of the doping-induced transformation process provides useful information for the design of advanced materials where the microscopic morphology of material is crucial to its function.

A unique aspect of our PAW code is that it can treat both charged and neutral cluster systems. We discuss how this is achieved via accurate numerical treatment of the Coulomb Green''s function with free space boundary conditions. The strategy for parallelizing the PAW code is based on distributing the plane wave basis across processors. This is a versatile approach and is implemented using a parallel three-dimensional Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). We report parallel performance analysis of our program and of the three-dimensional FFT''s and discuss large-scale parallelization issues of the PAW code. Using a series of transition metal monoxides and dioxides, as well as two iron aqueous complexes, it is shown that a free space PAW code can give structural parameters and energies in good accord with Gaussian based methods.

Crane and Blunt [1] have shown that the stream-wise transformations can reduce the numerical errors associated with the multidimensional transport equations. However, it has been proven that no transformation can completely diagonalize the multidimension conservation equations.It shall be demonstrated that a subset of the multidimensional Euler equations can be diagonalized, but not the entire set. The formulation of the conservation equations into the local stream-wise coordinate system is extended to the time-dependent, two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) conservation equations. At any point in space, there exists a set of local rotations that aligns the fluid velocity vector coincident with the stream-wise coordinate; hence, the fluid velocity components orthogonal to the stream-wise coordinate are identically zero. Such transformations result in a subset of PDEs that are diagonalized, namely, the mass, total energy, and principal momentum density PDEs. However, the orthogonal momentum component conservation PDEs are not diagonalized and are multidimensional; these PDEs are responsible for streamline bending.

The applications are many — forensic science, embryonic disease diagnosis, bioterrorism genome detection, ‘immortalization’ of clinical samples, microbial diversity, and genotyping. Several recent papers suggest that whole genomes can be replicated without bias or non-random distribution of the target, these findings open up a new avenue to molecular biology.

Extracellular dopamine (DA) levels were measured in prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens (NACC) of freely moving rats using in vivo microdialysis. Inhalation of a behaviorally relevant concentration of toluene (3000 ppm) produced a significant increase in the PFC but not in the NACC. However, the odorant isoamyl acetate, increased PFC DA levels by only 37%, significantly less than the 96% increase observed following toluene exposure. When toluene inhalation was combined with cocaine administration (20 mg/kg i.p.), the response to the combined challenge was not different from the response to toluene alone in the PFC. However, the combination of these two drugs produced a supradditive response of 802% in the NACC, compared with the 450% increase observed following cocaine alone. Recent reports indicate that toluene influences the function of several ionotropic receptors in a subunit specific manner. As further evidence of specific effects, our results indicate regionally specific changes in dopaminergic transmission following toluene exposure.

The thermal conductivity and heat capacitance both vary exponentially in one coordinate. In the process of solving this diffusion problem numerically, a Laplace transform (LT) approach is used to eliminate the dependence on time. The fundamental solution in Laplace space is derived and the boundary integral equation formulation for the Laplace Transform boundary element method (LTBEM) is obtained. The numerical implementation is performed using a Galerkin approximation, and the time-dependence is restored by numerical inversion of the LT. Two numerical inversion techniques have been investigated: a Fourier series method and Stehfest''s algorithm, the latter being preferred. A number of test problems have been examined, and the results are in excellent agreement with available analytical solutions.

SN - 0364152X AB - Recent legislation to initiate vegetation management in the Central Sierra hydrologic region of California includes a focus on corresponding changes in water yield. This served as the impetus for developing a combined geographic information system (GIS) and simulation assessment framework. Using the existing vegetation density condition, together with proposed rules for thinning to reduce fire risk, a set of simulation model inputs were generated for examining the impact of the thinning scenario on water yield. The approach allows results to be expressed as the mean and standard deviation of change in water yield for each 1-km2 map cell that is thinned. Values for groups of cells are aggregated for typical watershed units using area-weighted averaging. Wet, dry, and average precipitation years were simulated over a large region. Where snow plays an important role in hydrologic processes, the simulated change in water yield was less than 0.5% of expected annual runoff for a typical watershed. Such small changes would be undetectable in the field using conventional stream flow analysis. These results suggest that use of water yield increases to help justify forest-thinning activities or offset their cost will be difficult.

Proteomics is the global analysis of expressed proteins (including posttranslational modifications) and seeks to establish the relationship between genome sequence, expressed proteins, protein-protein interactions, and cell and tissue phenotype. While the relative abundance of transcripts can be quantified using gene expression microarrays, the identification and quantitation of expressed proteins is more challenging. Nevertheless, the potential payoff for global protein analyses is immense because identification of distinctive protein signatures associated with cell function may provide novel therapeutic targets, molecular markers of disease, and increased understanding of determinants of cell phenotype. The challenges and promises of applications of established and emerging proteome strategies to detect and quantify differentially expressed proteins in culture cells are discussed.

JO - Human & Experimental Toxicology JF - Human & Experimental Toxicology Y1 - 2002/02// VL - 21 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 65 EP - 69 PB - Sage Publications, Ltd. SN - 09603271 AB - Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to the energy landscapes in and around cells, play numerous roles in maintaining normal cell homeostasis as components of signaling pathways. Excessively high levels of ROS, on the other hand, can lead to pronounced DNA damage and a variety of cellular responses, including cell cycle arrests, senescence, apoptosis and possibly cancer. Far less is known, however, about how supra-basal levels of ROS that can be generated in response to low doses of ionizing radiation or chemicals in the environment may bring about untoward or perhaps even beneficial cellular responses. Even so, some evidence suggests that adaptive responses that have been associated with ROS-generating stimuli can have protective effects by fundamentally altering subsequent cellular dose-response profiles to otherwise detrimental stresses. Yet, even these seemingly favorable 'adaptive' effects may have longer-term untoward consequences. Other effects that have been associated with supra-basal levels of ROS, such as enhanced states of cell proliferation, potentially could have a protective function. But again, such increases in cell growth, which may be accompanied by greater than normal ROS-mediated damage to DNA, as well may ultimately favour the expansion of cells with heritable mutations. Unfortunately, the state of the art of our current understanding of how elevated but still low-level increases in ROS that may be induced by environmental stimuli presently precluded incorporation of supra-basal ROS-associated mechanisms in predictive risk assessment models, both at the population level and at the level of individualized risk assessment.

SN - 09603271 AB - This review first summarizes experimental data on biological effects of different concentrations of ROS in mammalian cells and on their potential role in modifying cell responses to toxic agents. It then attempts to link the role of steadily produced metabolic ROS at various concentrations in mammalian cells to that of environmentally derived ROS bursts from exposure to ionizing radiation. The ROS from both sources are known to both cause biological damage and change cellular signaling, depending on their concentration at a given time. At low concentrations signaling effects of ROS appear to protect cellular survival and dominate over damage, and the reverse occurs at high ROS concentrations. Background radiation generates suprabasal ROS bursts along charged particle tracks several times a year in each nanogram of tissue, i.e., average mass of a mammalian cell. For instance, a burst of about 200 ROS occurs within less than a microsecond from low-LET irradiation such as X-rays along the track of a Compton electron (about 6 keV, ranging about 1 μm). One such track per nanogram tissue gives about 1 mGy to this mass. The number of instantaneous ROS per burst along the track of a 4-meV α-particle in 1 ng tissue reaches some 70000. The sizes, types and sites of these bursts, and the time intervals between them directly in and around cells appear essential for understanding low-dose and low dose-rate effects on top of effects from endogenous ROS. At background and low-dose radiation exposure, a major role of ROS bursts along particle tracks focuses on ROS-induced apoptosis of damage-carrying cells, and also on prevention and removal of DNA damage from endogenous sources by way of temporarily protective, i.e., adaptive, cellular responses. A conclusion is to consider low-dose radiation exposure as a provider of physiological mechanisms for tissue homoeostasis.

We use KANDINSKY, an advanced cylindrical particle-in-cell (PlC) code based on a new method that avoids the traditional problems of cylindrical PlC codes. The principal novelty resides in defining a particle volume in addition to the usual particle charge. Results from the two-dimensional drift-Poisson model and a recently developed model with compression effects are presented.

The schlieren imaging probe beam was a 15-mm diameter, 5-mJ, 266-nm, 110-ns FWHM laser pulse that uniformly illuminated the plasma. The probe beam was fired at various times relative to the plasma formation beam on a shot-to-shot basis, and refracted light components from the probe beam produced ‘snapshots’ of schlieren images showing the radial and axial evolution of the plasma. These images can be used to estimate the plasma's expansion velocity and electron density profile as a function of time.

The data are obtained in the core of tokamak plasmas, using the novel technique of correlation intensity interferometry. Low-frequency fluctuations, usually associated with tearing modes, are not only found as expected near the q = 2 surface, but also on the midplane outside this surface. Higher frequency fluctuations, usually associated with the drift wave family, are poloidally localized.

By using such a well, the lateral interaction potential was isolated and accessible. Good agreement was obtained between measured and calculated single particle trajectories using measured gas densities and temperatures to determine the neutral gas drag. Plasma crystal compression in the parabolic potential was demonstrated to be in good agreement with that predicted by an equation of state for the 2-D dust layer incorporating Debye shielding of the charges.

Both plasma and macroparticles are produced at cathode spots, and in most cases both can easily be observed because they emit light. The nature of this light emission is briefly discussed. Using open, curved solenoids as magnetic filters, one can readily optically record the separation of plasma and macroparticles by the filter. Imaging can be used as a powerful tool to help developing macroparticle filters and optimizing their design.

The laminates consist either of ultrahigh carbon steels (UHCSs) or NiAl jacketed in a mild steel can. Flow stresses in the individual components of the laminate were determined by utilizing an isostrain model and by establishing the true coefficient of friction during extrusion. The average coefficient of friction was found equal to about 0.38 for UHCSs and 0.32 for NiAl. The results reveal that plastic flow of the UHCSs is a diffusion-controlled dislocation creep process. An increase in carbon content leads to a decrease in the flow stress because iron atom mobility is increased. An increase in substitutional solid solution alloy additions leads to an increase in the flow stress because of a decrease in the stacking fault energy. The influence of strain rate sensitivity of each component on the extrusion of laminated composites is modeled. It is shown that striking differences in extrusion response are achieved by altering the volume fraction and strain rate sensitivity of the component materials. The analysis of extrusion is extended to interpret Pearson and Smythe''s 1931 data on extrusion of lead, tin and cadmium. These data are also shown to be well characterized by a diffusion-controlled dislocation creep process. Coefficients of friction for extrusion were determined for these three metals. These results, together with those for the UHCSs and NiAl, indicate that the friction coefficient is a function of the flow stress of the metal during extrusion, increasing in value as the flow stress decreases. It is proposed that this trend is principally related to microstructural changes that are unique to the process of extrusion.

A parametric study using an analysis of variance technique was used to efficiently determine the influence of the deformation path, temperature, size scale, strain rate, and crystal lattice orientation with respect to yield and the plastic energy. The analysis of variance study revealed that orientation had a primary influence on the volume averaged shear stress, demonstrating the continued importance of slip within the crystal lattice for small sized metals and high applied strain rates. Consequently, other orientations were examined with a focus on averaged shear stress, axial stresses, and stress distributions. Results are presented for crystals oriented for single, double, quadruple, and octal slip, as well as a pseudopolycrystal. One last interesting point is that orientation effects on the stress-strain curves could be only approximately normalized by application of the Schmid factor.

OCT is attractive because it combines high sensitivity (>90 dB), high resolution (5 µm to 20 µm), and low cost, approximately US $75 k. The value of any new technology is evaluated by how well it compares with existing methods. In this work, impact damage of an epoxy/E-glass composite is imaged using OCT, and the results were compared with micro-focus X-ray computed tomography. This technique is a good benchmark to compare with OCT because both techniques have the ability to locate features precisely and have comparable resolutions. OCT is considered to be a confocal technique so it was also compared to laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). Contrast mechanisms, sensitivity, resolution, depth of penetration, and artifacts among the techniques are compared and contrasted. Also, impact damage features revealed using OCT are briefly discussed.

There was a clear difference between the stiffness and hardness of secondary osteonal and interstitial bone, the latter being stiffer (F1,48=56.0, P<0.001). There were some differences between the bones of different subjects; however, there were no differences that could be reliably associated with the chronological age of the subject, or with differences in location through the thickness of the cortex (F2,48=0.21, P=0.810). Previous studies have been equivocal in relating changes in the macroscopic ‘composite’ material stiffness of bone to the age of the individual. By combining the results of the nano-tests with histological measures, we were able to produce a good relationship of the microstructural properties at the matrix level with the bending modulus of whole bone (R2=0.88, P<0.001) and this improved further by taking into account the age of the individual (R2=0.94, P<0.001). Our results suggest that using differences in the volumetric proportions of secondary osteons versus interstitial bone, and the properties of these elements/structures in isolation may be a more accurate method of determining differences in elastic modulus of whole bone between individuals of various ages.

These authors achieved accurate results by using pure starting materials, synthesizing nearly phase-pure crystalline products, developing appropriate thermochemical cycles, and controlling calorimetric conditions. Their studies provided a foundation for subsequent calorimetric studies of ternary lanthanide and actinide oxides with alkali and alkaline earth elements. These studies generated a substantial thermochemical database for the ternary oxides of transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. In this paper, the stability of several families of ternary actinide oxides is correlated in terms of the enthalpy of reactions such as AO(s) + BO2(s) = ABO3(s)(AO = alkaline earth oxide, BO 2 = oxide of tetravalent actinide) combined with an acidity scale for binary oxides that is based on the enthalpies of formation of the oxides. The success in correlating of enthalpies of formation of ternary actinide oxides with oxide acidities enhances the value of well-determined experimental thermochemical and structural properties of these materials.

This material exhibits a continuous phase transition at 64.75 K, and analysis of the heat capacity data give values for the entropy of transition (ΔtrS) 2.02J · K − 1· mol − 1, electronic heat capacity ( γ) 0.38mJ · K − 2· mol − 1and low-temperature limiting Debye temperature (ΘD) 219 K. Mechanical tests performed at liquid helium temperatures verify that AuZn exhibits the shape memory effect. To the best of our knowledge, the martensitic transformation temperature in AuZn is the lowest observed for a shape-memory alloy and is the first to exhibit a continuous transition at a martensitic transition. We also report heat capacity measurements on a high-purity single crystal of copper to demonstrate the accuracy and precision of our low-temperature heat capacity apparatus.

The study has been conducted using a three-dimensional numerical model, which incorporates a wide variety of field data and takes into account the coupled processes of flow and transport in the highly heterogeneous, unsaturated fractured porous rock. The modeling approach is based on a dual-continuum formulation of coupled multiphase fluid and tracer transport through fractured porous rock. Various scenarios of current and future climate conditions and their effects on the unsaturated zone are evaluated to aid in the assessment of the proposed repository''s system performance using different conceptual models. These models are calibrated against field-measured data. Model-predicted flow and transport processes under current and future climates are discussed.

A single phase glass, representing the high-density glass polymorph of yttrium-aluminate (AY25) composition has a structure resembling that of levitated YAG liquid. This glass has a first-neighbor Al–O distance of 1.82 A˚ and a first-shell coordination number of 4.16±0.21. The Y–O distance is represented by a single Gaussian peak centered at 2.28 A˚ which yields a first-neighbor coordination number of 6.64±0.33. These values indicate an increase in volume on melting of YAG solid solution. An equivalent lanthanum-aluminate glass (La25), also produced from the stable high-temperature aluminate liquid, has an Al–O distance of 1.79 A˚ and a coordination number of 4.55±0.23. The La–O distance is increased due to an increase in ionic radius for La(III). The magnitude of this La–O peak is lower than expected and there is evidence for a second La–O distance at 2.79 A˚. The T(r) for the lanthanum-aluminate glass shows stronger features than the yttrium-aluminate glass at radial distances greater than 3 A˚; these suggest a higher degree of order in the lanthanum-aluminate liquid. A two-phase yttrium-aluminate (AY20) glass, which represents a partly complete transition between a high-density liquid and a lower density polymorph, has an Al–O distance of 1.81 A˚ and a mean Al–O coordination number of 4.38±0.22. There is an increase in the Y–O radial distance on transition and also additional mid-range ordering. This mid-structure is similar to that seen in the La25 glass. The data show that rare earth aluminate liquids are dominated by a tetrahedral aluminate framework and that the liquid–liquid (transition) in the yttrium-aluminate liquids results from differences in packing among AlO4 and Y–O polyhedra and not from a change in the mean Al–O coordination number.

Numerous experimental studies have been carried out, but the ability to discern structural information at the atomic-level strongly depends on providing accurate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In this work, the short- and medium-range order of La ion in soda silicate glasses is investigated by MD computer simulations. The glass mixtures used in these MD simulations are the same as those of a recent NMR study. Results of this study are in excellent agreement with the NMR results. It is found that the La cation has an average co-ordination of 6.5 O atoms with an average bond length fitted to be about 0.25 nm. The La is found to behave as a network modifier, and competes with sodium for non-bridging oxygen (NBO) atoms. In addition, the extended X-ray fine structure (EXAFS) and neutron diffraction patterns are predicted from the MD simulations.

T1 - Emulation of neutron irradiation effects with protons: validation of principle JO - Journal of Nuclear Materials JF - Journal of Nuclear Materials Y1 - 2002/02// VL - 300 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 198 SN - 00223115 AB - This paper presents the results of the irradiation, characterization and irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) behavior of proton- and neutron-irradiated samples of 304SS and 316SS from the same heats. The objective of the study was to determine whether proton irradiation does indeed emulate the full range of effects of in-reactor neutron irradiation: radiation-induced segregation (RIS), irradiated microstructure, radiation hardening and IASCC susceptibility. The work focused on commercial heats of 304 stainless steel (heat B) and 316 stainless steel (heat P). Irradiation with protons was conducted at 360 °C to doses between 0.3 and 5.0 dpa to approximate those by neutron irradiation at 275 °C over the same dose range. Characterization consisted of grain boundary microchemistry, dislocation loop microstructure, hardness as well as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of both un-irradiated and irradiated samples in oxygenated and de-oxygenated water environments at 288 °C. Overall, microchemistry, microstructure, hardening and SCC behavior of proton- and neutron-irradiated samples were in excellent agreement. RIS analysis showed that in both heats and for both irradiating particles, the pre-existing grain boundary Cr enrichment transformed into a `W'' shaped profile at 1.0 dpa and then into a `V'' shaped profile between 3.0 and 5.0 dpa. Grain boundary segregation of Cr, Ni, Si, and Mo all followed the same trends and agreed well in magnitude. The microstructure of both proton- and neutron-irradiated samples was dominated by small, faulted dislocation loops. Loop size distributions were nearly identical in both heats over a range of doses. Saturated loop size following neutron irradiation was about 30% larger than that following proton irradiation. Loop density increased with dose through 5.0 dpa for both particle irradiations and was a factor of 3 greater in neutron-irradiated samples vs. proton-irradiated samples. Grain boundary denuded zones were only observed in neutron-irradiated samples. No cavities were observed for either irradiating particle. For both irradiating particles, hardening increased with dose for both heats, showing a more rapid increase and approach to saturation for heat B. In normal oxygenated water chemistry (NWC) at 288 °C, stress corrosion cracking in the 304 alloy was first observed at about 1.0 dpa and increased with dose. The 316 alloy was remarkably resistant to IASCC for both particle types. In hydrogen treated, de-oxygenated water (HWC), proton-irradiated samples of the 304 alloy exhibited IG cracking at 1.0 dpa compared to about 3.0 dpa for neutron-irradiated samples, although differences in specimen geometry, test condition and test duration can account for this difference. Cracking in heat P in HWC occurred at about 5.0 dpa for both irradiating particles. Thus, in all aspects of radiation effects, including grain boundary microchemistry, dislocation loop microstructure, radiation hardening and SCC behavior, proton-irradiation results were in good agreement with neutron-irradiation results, providing validation of the premise that the totality of neutron-irradiation effects can be emulated by proton irradiation of appropriate energy.

The critical amorphization temperature, Tc, above which radiation-induced amorphization does not occur varied from approximately 450 K for the titanate compositions to more than 850 K for the tantalates. While the absolute ranking of increasing critical amorphization temperatures could not be explained by any simple physical parameter associated with the ABO3 oxides, within each chemical group defined by the B-site cation (i.e., within the titanates, niobates, and tantalates), Tc tends to increase with increasing mass of the A-site cation. Tc was lower for the Ne+ irradiations as compared to Kr+, but it was approximately the same for the irradiations with Kr+ or Xe+. Thermal recrystallization experiments were performed on the ion-beam-amorphized thin sections in situ in the transmission electron microscope (TEM). In the high vacuum environment of the microscope, the titanates recrystallized epitaxially from the thick areas of the TEM specimens at temperatures of 800–850 K. The niobates and tantalates did not recrystallize epitaxially, but instead, new crystals nucleated and grew in the amorphous region in the temperature range 825–925 K. These new crystallites apparently retain some `memory'' of the original crystal orientation prior to ion-beam amorphization.

Tritons with energies up to 192 keV and protons with energies up to 576 keV are directly implanted into the tube walls. To minimize tritium retention in the tubes and permeation into the coolant surrounding the tubes, it is desirable to have the implanted tritium migrate back to the inner surface of the tubes and rapidly recombine to be released as T2 and HT. Aluminum alloy (Al 6061-T6) is the primary candidate material for fabrication of the tubes. Aluminum alloy samples implanted with deuterons and protons to fluences as high as 3×1022 D (and p)/m2 were studied. Deuterium retention was measured by mass spectrometry during thermal desorption. Approximately 10% of the implanted deuterium was retained. Copper, nickel and anodized coatings on aluminum alloy were studied as possible methods of reducing retention and permeation of the tritium. In these experiments, the Cu and Ni coatings reduced the retention significantly, whereas retention increased in the anodized coated sample.

Yet, the precise roles of these receptors in regulating mammary development, carcinogenesis and the growth of a subset of tumors still remain unclear. Mammary glands are composed of various cell types with different developmental potentials. Further, ultimately, that it is their mutual interactions which dictate the behavior of mammary epithelial cells. Therefore, to resolve the roles of ER and PR in normal mammary growth, differentiation and carcinogenesis, analyses for the expression of these receptors at the level of individual cell types is of paramount importance. Accordingly, in the present studies using immunolocalization techniques, we document the ontogeny and cellular distribution of ER and PR during mammary development and in response to ovarian hormones and aging. In addition, we discuss the potential biological significances of the expression patterns of ER and PR during various physiological states. We believe that the observations reported here should provide a conceptual framework(s) for elucidating the roles of ER and PR in normal and neoplastic mammary tissues.

After 30 weeks, the filtered air treatment (ozone 0.0) reduced foliar injury but also produced smaller stem diameters, lower total foliage and total shoot dry weights, decreased needle density and shorter root systems in inoculated pine, growth responses not found in uninocultated pine. Height growth of inoculated oak was increased by the filtered air treatment while leaf density was reduced by 0.12 µL L1 O3, results also not found in uninoculated oak. Ectomycorrhizal colonization percentages in pine decreased with increasing O3 concentration regardless of mycorrhizal treatment, and the filtered air treatment produced the highest infection percentages in inoculated oak as well. Rains of pH 4.2 stimulated hwight growth in inoculated pine while diameter decreased in inoculated oak but increased in uninoculated oak with declining pH. Also, pH 4.2 rainfall increased root weight in inoculated oak while that of pH 4.8 reduced foliar injury but also shoot weight in oak regardless of mycorrhizal treatment. Generally, the mycorrhization response to increasing rainfall acidity was reduced colonization. Independent of the other treatments, inoculation produced a substantial increase in above- and below-ground growth of both pine and oak, and also increased foliage density but reduced specific root length in each species. Overall, these results indicate that the growth responses to O3 and acid deposition of loblolly pine and white oak are strongly influenced by mycorrhization, but that the magnitude of these responses is exceeded by those to mycorrhization alone. However, the propensity revealed here for both O3 and acid precipitation to suppress mycorrhizal colonization in these two species may indicate the potential for a gradual reduction in long-term forest productivity in the southeastern United States.

The reduction, which alters the mass of these analytes by 2 Da, was shown to occur by means of a surface-assisted process which involves reactive species, possibly hydrogen radicals, generated from protic solvents in the ionization plasma. Reduction was minimized by limiting protic solvents, by using a high heated nebulizer temperature, and by using a clean, heated nebulizer probe liner. The expected generality of this reduction process, and the possibility of similar reduction processes in other plasma ionization sources are discussed in relation to the use of these ion sources for on-line electrochemistry/mass spectrometry experiments.

One method uses RF/DC quadrupole filtering and is described in use with an 11.5 tesla (T) FTICR instrument, while the second method employs RF-only resonance dipolar excitation selection and is described in use with a 3.5 T FTICR instrument. In both methods ions are data-dependently selected on the fly in a linear quadrupole ion guide, then accumulated in a second linear RF-only quadrupole trap that immediately follows. A major benefit of ion preselection prior to external accumulation is the enhancement of ion populations for low-level species. This development is expected to expand the dynamic range and sensitivity of FTICR for applications including analysis of complex polypeptide mixtures (e.g., proteomics).

An important application for this analysis is in the determination of SV for one class of dislocation boundary observed following deformation to high strains. Assuming a complete uniformly random distribution of inclination angles for these dislocation walls SV=πNL/2, where NL is the number of intercepts per unit length along a line perpendicular to the wall traces, in any plane perpendicular to the prism basal plane. Analyses of the inclination angle distribution from both measurements of projected boundary widths and from spacing measurements in two perpendicular sections show that while the assumption of a complete uniformly random distribution is an approximation, the error introduced by making this assumption is small.

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2002/02// VL - 43 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 55 EP - 66 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00953628 AB - The absolute amount of microbial biomass and relative contribution of fungi and bacteria are expected to vary among types of organic matter (OM) within a stream and will vary among streams because of differences in organic matter quality and quantity. Common types of benthic detritus [leaves, small wood, and fine benthic organic matter (FBOM)] were sampled in 9 small (1st–3rd order) streams selected to represent a range of important controlling factors such as surrounding vegetation, detritus standing stocks, and water chemistry. Direct counts of bacteria and measurements of ergosterol (a fungal sterol) were used to describe variation in bacterial and fungal biomass. There were significant differences in bacterial abundance among types of organic matter with higher densities per unit mass of organic matter on fine particles relative to either leaves or wood surfaces. In contrast, ergosterol concentrations were significantly greater on leaves and wood, confirming the predominance of fungal biomass in these larger size classes. In general, bacterial abundance per unit organic matter was less variable than fungal biomass, suggesting bacteria will be a more predictable component of stream microbial communities. For 7 of the 9 streams, the standing stock of fine benthic organic matter was large enough that habitat-weighted reach-scale bacterial biomass was equal to or greater than fungal biomass. The quantities of leaves and small wood varied among streams such that the relative contribution of reach-scale fungal biomass ranged from 10% to as much as 90% of microbial biomass. Ergosterol concentrations were positively associated with substrate C:N ratio while bacterial abundance was negatively correlated with C:N. Both these relationships are confounded by particle size, i.e., leaves and wood had higher C:N than fine benthic organic matter. There was a weak positive relationship between bacterial abundance and streamwater soluble reactive phosphorus concentration, but no apparent pattern between either bacteria or fungi and streamwater dissolved inorganic nitrogen. The variation in microbial biomass per unit organic matter and the relative abundance of different types of organic matter contributed equally to driving differences in total microbial biomass at the reach scale.

The alloy fuel dispersant was produced by a centrifugal atomization process. The fuel shows stable in-reactor irradiation behavior to a fission density of 5×1027 m−3 at an irradiation temperature of ∼65 °C. The fuel–matrix interaction layer growth rate is similar to that observed in uranium-silicide fuels. The fuel particles have a fine and a relatively narrow fission gas bubble size distribution. There appears to be features in the microstrucure that are the result of segregation of the microstructure in to molybdenum rich and depleted regions on solidification.

A laser calibration system was built to calibrate and monitor the TPC tracking performance. The laser system uses a novel design which produces ≈500 thin, ionizing beams distributed throughout the tracking volume. This new approach is significantly simpler than the traditional ones, and provides complete TPC coverage at a reduced cost. The laser system was used during the RHIC 2000 summer run to measure drift velocities with about 0.02% accuracy and to monitor the TPC performance. Calibration runs were made with and without a magnetic field to check B field map corrections.

One method involves comparing signals produced by X-ray absorptions occurring directly in the avalanche photodiode with the light signals. When the light is derived from light-emitting diodes in the 400–600 nm range, significant non-linear behaviour is reported. In the present work, we extend the study of the linear behaviour to large-area avalanche photodiodes, of Advanced Photonix, used as photosensors of the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) scintillation light produced by argon (128 nm) and xenon (173 nm). We observed greater non-linearities in the avalanche photodiodes for the VUV scintillation light than reported previously for visible light, but considerably less than the non-linearities observed in other commercially available avalanche photodiodes.

This station will be one of the most advanced instruments at a major neutron user facility for protein crystallography, fiber and membrane diffraction. The detector, based on neutron absorption in 3He, has a large sensitive area of 3000 cm2, angular coverage of 120°, timing resolution of 1 μs, rate capability in excess of 106 s−1, position resolution of about 1.5 mm FWHM, and efficiency >50% for neutrons of interest in the range 1–10 A˚. Features that are key to these remarkable specifications are the utilization of eight independently operating segments within a single gas volume, fabrication of the detector vessel and internal segments with a radius of curvature of about 70 cm, optimized position readout based on charge division and signal shaping with gated baseline restoration, and engineering design with high-strength aluminum alloy.

Vacuum annealing was carried out on crystals sealed in quartz ampoules under different oxygen pressure ranging from 8×10−1 to 5×10−4 bar. The as-grown and post-annealed crystals were explored by induction-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and magnetization measurements. It was demonstrated that the oxygen homogeneity of the as-grown crystals has a direct influence on the post-annealed samples. The superconducting transition temperature, Tc was found to be affected more strongly by the annealing oxygen partial pressures, p(O2), than by the annealing temperature. Tc decreases considerably from 92 to 29 K with decreasing p(O2) from 1 down to 4×10−2 bar, however, increases surprisingly to 62 K with further decreasing p(O2) to 5×10−4 bar. The transitions remain relatively sharp for the samples annealed under p(O2)=8×10−1–4×10−2 bar, with no evidence of significant structural change by powder XRD measurement. XRD studies indicate that the crystals have orthorhombic symmetry. The refinement result for XRD data shows that the c-axis expands, while both a- and b-axis contract slightly with decreasing p(O2). The relation between Tc and the c-axis lattice parameter suggests that the change of Tc is correlated with a redistribution of holes between the Bi–O layers and the Cu–O planes. Impurity phases were found to segregate from samples annealed under p(O2) < 4×10−2 bar. The one-dimensional incommensurate superstructure along the b-axis was observed by TEM in the crystal annealed at p(O2)=1×10−3 bar. The lattice strain caused by the high-vacuum annealing possibly affect the Cu–O–Cu angle and lead to an anomalous change in Tc.

A columnar grain with a roofing-tile-shaped surface was observed in these MgO films. X-ray pole figure, and φ- and ω-scan were used to characterize in-plane and out-of-plane textures. MgO films deposited when the incline angle α was 55° and 30° exhibited the best in-plane and out-of-plane texture, respectively. High-quality YBCO films were epitaxially grown on ISD-MgO-buffered Hastelloy C substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Tc=88 K, with sharp transition, and jc values of 2×105 A/cm2 at 77 K in zero field were observed on films 5 mm wide and 1 cm long. This work has demonstrated that biaxially textured ISD MgO buffer layers deposited on metal substrates are excellent candidates for fabrication of high-quality YBCO coated conductors.

However, despite considerable study, a clear picture in terms of the influence of elevated [CO2] on plant water relations and the role that these effects play in determining the response of plants to elevated [CO2] under water-limited conditions has been slow to emerge. In this paper, four areas of research are examined that represent critical, yet uncertain, themes related to the response of plants to elevated [CO2] and drought. These include (1) fine-root proliferation and implications for whole-plant water uptake; (2) enhanced water-use efficiency and consequences for drought tolerance; (3) reductions in stomatal conductance and impacts on leaf water potential; and (4) solute accumulation, osmotic adjustment and dehydration tolerance of leaves. A survey of the literature indicates that the growth of plants at elevated [CO2] can lead to conditions whereby plants maintain higher (less negative) leaf water potentials. The mechanisms that contribute to this effect are not fully known, although CO2-induced reductions in stomatal conductance, increases in whole-plant hydraulic conductance and osmotic adjustment may be important. Less understood are the interactive effects of elevated [CO2] and drought on fine-root production and water-use efficiency, and the contribution of these processes to plant growth in water-limited environments. Increases in water-use efficiency and reductions in water use can contribute to enhanced soil water content under elevated [CO2]. Herbaceous crops and grasslands are most responsive in this regard. The conservation of soil water at elevated [CO2] in other systems has been less studied, but in terms of maintaining growth or carbon gain...

A high concentration of filler particles is added to such materials to tailor physical properties such as thermal expansion coefficient. Sedimentation and flow-induced migration of particles can produce concentration gradients that are most severe near boundaries. Therefore, techniques for measuring local particle concentration should be accurate near boundaries. Particle gradients in an alumina-filled epoxy resin are measured with a spatial resolution of 0.2 mm using an X-ray beam attenuation technique, but an artifact reduces accuracy near the specimen''s edge. Local particle concentration near an edge can be measured more reliably using microscopy coupled with image analysis. This is illustrated by measuring concentration profiles of glass particles having 40 μm median diameter using images acquired with a confocal laser fluorescence microscope. The mean of the measured profiles of volume fraction agrees to better than 3% with the expected value and the shape of the profiles agrees qualitatively with simple theory for sedimentation of monodisperse particles. Evidence that the microscopic method can be extended to smaller particles is provided by local concentration measurements on an epoxy polymer containing particles having diameters of the order of 1 μm.

The records are not stationary; during the past 2740 yr, drought durations ranged from 20 to 100 yr and intervals between droughts ranged from 80 to 230 yr. Comparison of tree-ring-based reconstructions of climate change for the past 1200 yr from the Sierra Nevada and the El Malpais region of northwest New Mexico indicates that severe droughts associated with Anasazi withdrawal from Chaco Canyon at 820 cal yr BP (calendar years before present) and final abandonment of Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, and the Kayenta area at 650 cal yr BP may have impacted much of the western United States.During the middle Holocene (informally defined in this paper as extending from 8000 to 3000 cal yr BP), magnetic susceptibility values of sediments deposited in Pyramid Lake''s deep basin were much larger than late–Holocene (3000–0 cal yr BP) values, indicating the presence of a shallow lake. In addition, the mean δ18O value of CaCO3 precipitated between 6500 and 3430 cal yr BP was 1.6‰ less than the mean value of CaCO3 precipitated after 2740 cal yr BP. Numerical calculations indicate that the shift in the δ18O baseline probably resulted from a transition to a wetter (>30%) and cooler (3–5°C) climate. The existence of a relatively dry and warm middle-Holocene climate in the Truckee River–Pyramid Lake system is generally consistent with archeological, sedimentological, chemical, physical, and biological records from various sites within the Great Basin of the western United States. Two high-resolution Holocene-climate records are now available from the Pyramid and Owens lake basins which suggest that the Holocene was characterized by five climatic intervals. TIC and δ18O records from Owens Lake indicate that the first interval in the early Holocene (11,600–10,000 cal yr BP) was characterized by a drying trend that was interrupted by a brief (200 yr) wet oscillation centered at 10,300 cal yr BP. This was followed by a second early-Holocene interval (10,000–8000 cal yr BP) during which relatively wet conditions prevailed. During the early part of the middle Holocene (8000–6500 cal yr BP), high-amplitude oscillations in TIC in Owens Lake and δ18O in Pyramid Lake indicate the presence of shallow lakes in both basins. During the latter part of the middle Holocene (6500–3800 cal yr BP), drought conditions dominated, Owens Lake desiccated, and Lake Tahoe ceased spilling to the Truckee River, causing Pyramid Lake to decline. At the beginning of the late Holocene (∼3000 cal yr BP), Lake Tahoe rose to its sill level and Pyramid Lake increased in volume.

In the dissimilatory ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) cycle, ribulose-5-phosphate is coupled to formaldehyde by the 3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (HPS), yielding hexulose-6-phosphate, which is then isomerized to fructose-6-phosphate by the enzyme 3-hexulose-6-phosphate isomerase. MJ1247 is an α/β structure consisting of a five-stranded parallel β sheet flanked on both sides by α helices, forming a three-layered α-β-α sandwich. The fold represents the nucleotide binding motif of a flavodoxin type. MJ1247 is a tetramer in the crystal and in solution and each monomer has a folding similar to the isomerase domain of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS).

At 300 K, the outermost layer is contracted by 2.2(4)%, in agreement with the value determined by low-energy electron diffraction studies, but about half that predicted by ab initio calculations. H-adsorption appears to introduce disorder through an increased surface Debye–Waller factor and an increased step density, but does not significantly alter the interlayer spacing. Temperature-dependent studies of the clean surface structure indicate a thermal expansion of the first three interlayer distances that is slightly smaller than that of the bulk, accompanied by increasing vibrational motion comparable to that of the bulk.

The giant anomaly in the helium atom inelastic scattering spectra is used to probe the alloying-induced changes in the two-dimensional Fermi surface nesting. The critical wave vector of the giant anomaly is systematically shifted for the H-saturated (1 1 0) surface of the random alloy Mo1−xRex, by varying x (0⩽x⩽0.25). Here, it is demonstrated that the giant anomaly is quite sensitive to changes in the Fermi topology induced by alloying.

Specifically, we investigated deposition time (thickness), bath temperature (65, 80 and 90°C) and a Cd2+ partial-electrolyte treatment of the chalcopyrite absorber prior to CdS deposition. We found that thinner CdS layers (grown on as-deposited absorbers) allowing more light to reach the junction are not necessarily conducive to higher short-circuit current density. Device performance was found to be dependent on the CdS layer thickness, but rather independent of the growth temperature. On the other hand, devices prepared from absorbers subjected to a Cd2+ partial electrolyte treatment show that the device performance dependence on CdS thickness is somewhat alleviated, and devices incorporating thinner CdS layers are possible without loss of parameters, such as open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

Although PSi has been the focus of interest in the last few years, a satisfactory model for calculation of its reflectance features is still absent. A combination of the optical matrix method and a graded-band gap model of PSi, which takes into account the gradient in porosity, has recently been suggested. Calculations based on the optical matrix method were carried out also for well-known ARC like MgF2, ZnS and Ta2O5 in order to prove the feasibility of the method. Good agreement with experimental data was found for all ARC types.

Franco) may extend to differences in needle anatomy. We used microscopy with image analysis to compare and quantify anatomical parameters in cross sections of previous-year needles of old-growth Douglas-fir trees and saplings at the Wind River Canopy Crane site in Washington and at three sites in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. We also compared needle anatomy across a chronosequence of 10-, 20-, 40- and 450-year-old Douglas-fir trees from the Wind River site. Anatomy differed significantly between needles of old-growth trees and saplings at all sites, suggesting a developmental change in needle anatomy with increasing tree age. Compared with needles of old-growth trees, needles of saplings were longer and had proportionately smaller vascular cylinders, larger resin canals and few hypodermal cells. Astrosclereids, which sequester lignin in their secondary cell walls and occupy space otherwise filled by photosynthetic cells, were scarce in needles of saplings but abundant in needles of old-growth trees. Needles of old-growth trees had an average of 11% less photosynthetic mesophyll area than needles of saplings. The percentage of non-photosynthetic area in needles increased significantly with increasing tree age from the chronosequence of 10-, 20-, 40- and 450-year-old trees at the Wind River site. This reduction in photosynthetic area may contribute to decreased growth rates in old trees.

Desirable convex constraints, including the sign of the scattering potential for electrons, and compact support, are discussed. The cases of complex and real exit-face wavefunctions, strong and weak phase objects, various supports, and the use of coherent focussed radiation are reviewed. Reconstruction of general complex objects requires accurate knowledge of the support, which should consist of two holes or a triangle in an opaque mask. The support boundaries should be as sharp as possible. Strong phase objects without absorption can be recovered if the support consists of one hole, is accurately known and has sufficiently sharp boundaries. Real and weak phase objects with absorption can be recovered without accurate knowledge of the support area if the support boundaries are sufficiently sharp and the support consists of one or more holes. A sign constraint on the scattering potential is used to recover weak phase objects. The experimental realization of theoretically desirable support conditions is discussed. A two-stage method of finding the support for complex objects is proposed. Experimental results from applying the Gerchberg–Saxton–Fienup HiO-algorithm to coherent electron diffraction patterns are presented, using specially made e-beam lithographed support structures. Images with a resolution of about 5 nm are thus recovered from the intensities alone in coherent electron diffraction patterns from non-periodic objects. Limitations of the present experiments are identified and suggestions made for development of both X-ray and electron work.

We first derive partial differential equations governing the statistical moments of the flow quantities by perturbation expansions and then implement these equations under general conditions with the method of finite differences. The stochastic model developed is applicable to the entire domain of a bounded, multidimensional unsaturated-saturated system in the presence of random or deterministic recharge and sink/source and in the presence of multiscale, nonstationary medium features. The unsaturated and saturated zones are coupled through the water table, whose position is random in randomly heterogeneous porous media. The presence of the water table renders the flow moments strongly nonstationary even in the absence of medium nonstationary features. This finding is confirmed with Monte Carlo simulations. The resulting first two moments of flow may be used to approximate confidence intervals for the flow quantities. In addition, the integrated stochastic flow model provides the prerequisite quantities for realistically studying contaminant transport in unsaturated-saturated systems with a stochastic approach.

The model is based on the assumption that any portion of the reinforcement that is removed as wear debris cannot contribute to the wear resistance of the matrix material. The size of this non-contributing portion (NCP) of reinforcement is estimated by modeling three primary wear mechanisms, specifically, plowing, cracking at the matrix/reinforcement interface or in the reinforcement, and particle removal. Critical variables describing the role of the reinforcement, such as relative size, fracture toughness and the nature of the matrix/reinforcement interface, are characterized by a single contribution coefficient, C. Predictions are compared with the results of experimental two-body (pin-on-drum) abrasive wear tests performed on a model aluminum particulate-reinforced epoxy-matrix composite material.

Over the complete range, the material retains the cubic perovskite structure and is stable even when δ>0.5. Between air and log pO2=−2.3, δ increases from 0.35 to 0.44 and the lattice expands. Lowering the pO2 further leads to an oxygen content “plateau” at δ≈0.5, through a log pO2 range of −3.5 to −8.6. Below this, the lattice undergoes further expansion, as oxygen is lost, most likely when Co3+ undergoes reduction to Co2+. Rietveld analysis indicates that there is no deviation from the Fe/Co 80:20 ratio over the entire pO2 range. The behavior of this perovskite is compared to that of the perovskite phase of similar composition found in a SrFeCo0.5Oy ceramic membrane material studied under similar conditions.

In the separation by plasma implantation of oxygen (SPIMOX) process, the spatial and time variation of the sample temperature must be known and well controlled to ensure uniform buried oxide and silicon overlying layer thicknesses over the entire silicon wafer. In this paper, we describe a two-dimensional model and derive the temperature distribution on the silicon wafer with respect to time and other process parameters. Our results show laterally nonuniform heating by the incoming ions and the local temperature is influenced more by the sample voltage and thermal irradiation coefficient of the target than the pulse duration and plasma density. The model provides a simple and quick means to determine whether external heating will be needed to maintain the sample temperature at 600°C during the SPIMOX process [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In most cases is around 10−24÷25e cm and (dμ/de)/(mμ/me) is only slightly different from one: this ratio contains interesting informations on the source of the dipoles and on the texture of the lepton Yukawa matrix.

We point out that the theoretical uncertainties in the differences between B→D and B→D* slopes and curvatures are smaller than in the deviations of the slopes and curvatures themselves from their infinite mass limits. We find that the central values of the current experimental results for the difference of the slopes differ from our calculations when QCD sum rules are used to estimate subleading Isgur–Wise functions. A better understanding of the shapes of the B→D(*)ℓν¯ spectra may also help to reduce the error of &z.sfnc;Vcb&z.sfnc; extracted from the zero recoil limit of B→D*ℓν¯. We argue that heavy quark symmetry requires that the same fitting procedure be used in the experimental determinations of the shape parameters and &z.sfnc;Vcb&z.sfnc; from the B→Dℓν¯ and B→D*ℓν¯ spectra.

This availability has exploded at least partly due to the arrival of dissimilar material interfaces and thin films and the ease with which microfabrication techniques apply to silicon technology. Having an eye toward those tests utilized for thin films, this paper reviews only a few of these techniques. The emphasis is on measuring thin film adhesion from the standpoint of fracture mechanics, when the film is mechanically or by other means removed from the substrate, and the amount of energy necessary for this process is calculated per unit area of the removed film. This tends to give values approaching the true work of adhesion at small thickness and greater values of the practical work of adhesion at larger thickness, all being in the 30–30,000 nm range. The resulting large range of toughnesses is shown to be dependent on the scale of plasticity achieved as controlled by film thickness, microstructure, chemistry and test temperature.While the tests reviewed largely address the measurement of elastic strain energy release rates, we also briefly address a few theoretical models which are specific to the resistance side of the delamination equation. The weight of the evidence suggests for ductile metallic films that the major extrinsic variables are film stress, extent of delamination, thickness and temperature while the major intrinsic ones are modulus, yield strength, the thermodynamic work of adhesion and one or more length scales. For some 25 film/substrate multilayers, with emphasis on Al, Au and Cu, the comparison of several theoretical models as to how the extrinsic and intrinsic variables intertwine is made.

Dynamic mechanical testing was performed to study relaxation behavior near the glass transition temperature. Relaxation time constants were increased in the presence of hydrogen with a concomitant increase of thermal activation energy. In addition, the glass transition temperature was increased and crystallization kinetics retarded in the presence of hydrogen leading to enhanced thermal stability. Positron annihilation spectroscopy was employed to study the interaction of hydrogen and open-volume regions. While hydrogen charging was found to decrease the open-volume regions in the amorphous phase, an increase in free volume was observed in the crystalline counterpart. The amorphous phase was found to have a greater hydrogen absorption capacity compared to its crystalline counterpart. Relaxation behavior, crystallization kinetics and the interaction of hydrogen with the amorphous microstructure are discussed. Finally, the effects of retarded relaxation processes on fracture resistance are considered.

The evolution of dislocation interactions was observed by evaluating the activation area and true stress as a function of cumulative plastic strain. Activation areas at each of three plastic strain amplitudes, Δϵp/2=0.2, 0.4, and 0.6%, have initial values of approximately 2000b2 which decrease to 600b2 during cyclic loading to saturation. This observation suggests a transition from forest dislocation cutting to increasing contributions of cross-slip as the predominant rate-controlling mechanisms of dislocation motion. Haasen plots of normalized inverse operational activation area (b2/Δa) for specimens cycled to saturation exhibit a deviation from linearity similar to that observed for monotonic deformation. This nonlinearity corresponds to a failure of the Cottrell–Stokes law that correlates with the development of characteristic dislocation structures during cyclic deformation. Tests performed at various stresses at saturation reveal a linear dependence of b2/Δa on true stress. The athermal stress, σb=86.5 MPa, measured at saturation by extrapolating the activation area data compares favorably with the value determined from a Bauschinger analysis, σb=80 MPa, at a plastic strain amplitude of 0.6%. In addition, athermal stress values vary with plastic strain amplitude as expected, resulting in a constant value of approximately σb/σ=0.5.

At low H coverage (below 0.5 ML), two loss features were observed and attributed to the perpendicular and parallel modes of atomic H adsorbed at a single site on the surface, respectively. The observation of two vibrational modes allows an unambiguous assignment of adsorption at a threefold hollow site on Cu(1 1 1). At high H coverage (above 0.5 ML), a new loss feature was also found in the specular direction in addition to the saturated low-coverage features. The new high-coverage feature is assigned to absorbed H at a subsurface site, following the thermal desorption studies and the theoretical predictions on the H absorption into the Cu(1 1 1) surface.

The first one, conducted in 1998, resulted in 119 h of data and in the detection of three pulsation frequencies. The presence of possible further modes which held the promise of deriving a mode identification motivated a second worldwide campaign in the year 2001. This second campaign resulted in 203 h of measurement, but did not reveal further modes. Rather, one of the previously detected signals disappeared. The two modes common to both data sets have different spherical degree. They also showed slight frequency modulation, and one of them varied in amplitude as well. Possible causes of the latter behaviour include intrinsic instability of the pulsation spectrum or precession of the pulsational axis and orbital motion in a binary system. Frequency analysis of the Hipparcos observations of the star did not allow us to determine the stellar rotation period. The amplitude and phase behaviour of the two modes of HD 122970 in the Strömgren uvby bands is quite similar to that observed for other roAp stars.

The measurements were made using a static imaging method and three dynamic methods—stopped flow, varying the applied potential (E-field method), and varying the detection length (length method). Under conditions where analyte–wall interactions (adsorption) are minimized, e.g. in a 50/50 (v/v) methanol/aqueous buffer, the stopped flow (2.71±0.09×10−6 cm2 s−1), E-field (2.684±0.005×10−6 cm2 s−1) and the static imaging (2.69±0.02×10−6 cm2 s−1) measurements were all within experimental error of one another and previously reported values. Under 100% aqueous conditions, however, the diffusion coefficient measured dynamically was 11% larger than that measured statically. Diffusion coefficients for rhodamine B, fluorescein, 2′,7′dichloro-fluorescein (DCF), rhodamine 6G, tetramethylrhodamine labeled glutamic acid and isoleucine, and fluorescein conjugated bovine serum albumin and ovalbumin were also measured using the static imaging method.

The measured 0 K threshold (18.220±0.002 eV) has made possible the determination of more precise values for the 0 K bond dissociation energies for D–OD+ (5.584±0.002 eV) and D–OD (5.191±0.002 eV) and the 0 K heats of formation (ΔH0f0''s) for OD+ (308.83±0.05 kcal/mol) and OD (8.38±0.05 kcal/mol). We found that the available energetic data for the OD/OD+ and D2O/D2O+ system are in excellent agreement with those for the OH/OH+ and H2O/H2O+ system after taking into account the zero-point vibration energies of these species.

Zn showed the only significant enrichment of the trace elements studied (Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni, Co, Mo and Ba), with values in the outermost surface layers of up to sixfold higher than those found in older core parts. The high-resolution Zn profiles provide the necessary temporal resolution for a dating method analogous to dendrochronology. Profiles in various samples collected for two decades were matched, and the overlapping sections were used for an estimation of the accretion rates. Assuming a continuous accretion of these relatively fast-growing nodules (on the average of 20 μm year−1 over the last century), the Zn enrichment was assessed to have commenced around 1860/1870 in nodules from the Kiel Bight (BG) and in 1880/1890 in those from Mecklenburg Bight (MB). Apart from the obvious success with Zn, other anthropogenic trace metals like Cu and Cd are not enriched at all, which, together with the distinct early diagenetic Fe/Mn banding, weaken the potential of the nodules for retrospective monitoring.

The intent of this report is to summarize some key accomplishments in gas-phase actinide ion chemistry. Early work on thorium and uranium is described along with an account of recent results for the more radioactive synthetic actinides. Reactions of bare and oxo-ligated actinide ions with hydrocarbons have been a central focus of study and reveal important insights into actinide chemistry. Also briefly summarized are a few representative reactions with other types of substrates. Some results for the homologous lanthanide elements are included for comparison. Other types of reactions are also considered with an emphasis on the unique behavior of the actinides. Future prospects in the field of gas-phase actinide ion chemistry are discussed.

JO - Molecular Microbiology JF - Molecular Microbiology Y1 - 2002/02/15/ VL - 43 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 855 EP - 867 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0950382X AB - Summary The origin-binding domain of the gpα protein of phage P4 (P4-OBD) mediates origin recognition and regulation of gpα activity by the protein Cnr. We have determined the crystal structure of P4-OBD at 2.95 Å resolution. The structure of P4-OBD is that of a dimer with pseudo twofold symmetry. Each subunit has a winged helix topology with a unique structure among initiator proteins. The only structural homologue of the P4-OBD subunit is the DNA-binding domain of the eukaryotic transcriptional activator Rfx1. Based on this structural alignment, a model for origin recognition by the P4-OBD dimer is suggested. P4-OBD mutations that interfere with Cnr binding locate to the dimer interface, indicating that Cnr acts by disrupting the gpα dimer. P4-OBD dimerization is mediated by helices α 1 and α 3 in both subunits, a mode of winged helix protein dimerization that is reminiscent of that of the eukaryotic transcription factors E2F and DP. This, in turn, suggests that Cnr is also a winged helix protein, a possibility that is supported by previously unreported sequence homologies between Cnr and Rfx1 and homology modelling. Hence, in a mechanism that appears to be conserved from phage to man, the DNA-binding activity of winged helix proteins can be regulated by other winged helix proteins via the versatile use of the winged helix motif as a homo- or heterodimerization scaffold.

For long junctions with the in-plane sizes 30×2 μm2, we found considerable contribution of the in-plane dissipation to the JFF resistivity, ρJff, at low temperatures. According to recent theory [A. Koshelev, Phys. Rev. B 62 (2000) R3616] that results in quadratic type dependence of ρJff(B) with the following saturation. The I–V characteristics in the JFF regime also can be described consistently by that theory. In the JFF regime we found Shapiro-step response to the external mm-wave radiation. The step position is proportional to the frequency of applied microwaves and corresponds to the Josephson emission from all the 60 intrinsic junctions of the stack being synchronized. That implies the coherence of the JFF over the whole thickness of the stack and demonstrates the possibility of synchronization of intrinsic junctions by the magnetic field. We also found a threshold character of the appearance of the JFF branch on the I–V characteristic with the increase of magnetic field, the threshold field Bt being scaled with the junction size perpendicular to the field L (L=30–1.4 μm), as Bt≈Φ0/Ls, where s is the interlayer spacing. On the I–V characteristics of small stacks in the JFF regime we found Fiske-step features associated with resonance of Josephson radiation with the main resonance cavity mode in transmission line formed by stacks.

However, less is known about disruptions in the patterns of brain metabolic activity. Here we questioned whether AD affects the patterns of homogeneity/heterogeneity in brain metabolism. PET images of 35 AD subjects were compared with those of 35 controls. A template was applied to extract a cortical rim, which was partitioned into 990 contiguous regions. Estimates of metabolic homogeneity were obtained using the coefficient of variation (CV). The CV of the entire cortex was found to be significantly larger in AD, suggesting increased heterogeneity at the whole brain level. In contrast, regional CV was significantly lower in AD in temporal and parietal cortices, which were the regions that along with the precuneus had the largest metabolic decrements, though the precuneus had increased CV. The enhanced heterogeneity for the global cortical pattern most likely reflects variability in the degree of pathology among brain regions as well as neuroanatomical disconnection. The enhanced homogeneity in parietal and temporal cortices is likely to reflect loss of regional differentiation (i.e. macrocolumnar disorganization). The enhanced CV in precuneus, despite its marked reductions in metabolism, suggests that increases in regional homogeneity in parietal and temporal cortices are not a mere reflection of the decrement in metabolism.

The direct formation of the ET product through the SN2-like TS appears to be more favorable at higher temperatures. The two-step process depends on the amount of energy that goes into the C–C stretching mode.

It is part of a multi-endpoint study comparing HPRT mutation with chromosome translocation and glycophorin A mutation [Radiat. Res. 148 (1997) 463], and extends an earlier report on HPRT [Mutat. Res. 431 (1999) 233] by including data from all 9 years of our study (versus the first 6 years) and analysis of deletion size. Blood samples were collected from 1991 to 1999. HPRT mutant frequency (MF) as determined by the cloning assay was elevated 16% in Clean-up workers (N=300, the entire group minus one outlier) compared to Russian Controls (N=124) when adjusted for age and smoking status (P=0.028). Since exposures occurred over a short relative to the long sampling period, the year of sampling corresponded roughly to the length of time since exposure (correlation coefficient=0.94). When date of blood sample was considered, Control MF was not time dependent. Clean-up worker MF was estimated to be 47% higher than Control MF in 1991 (P=0.004) and to decline 4.4% per year thereafter (P=0.03). A total of 1123 Control mutants and 2799 Clean-up worker mutants were analyzed for deletion type and size by PCR assay for retention of HPRT exons and flanking markers on the X chromosome. There was little difference between the overall deletion spectra of Clean-up workers and Controls. However, there was a decline in the average size of deletions of Clean-up workers as time after exposure at Chernobyl increased from 6 to 13 years (P≤0.05). The results illustrate the sensitivity of HPRT somatic mutation as a biomarker for populations with low dose radiation exposure, and the dependence of this sensitivity on time elapsed since radiation exposure.

To avert the potentially mutagenic or cytotoxic effects of these chromosome modifications/intermediates, organisms are equipped with apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases and 3′-nucleases that initiate repair. Ape1, which shares homology with Escherichia coli exonuclease III (ExoIII), is the major abasic endonuclease in mammals and an important, yet selective, contributor to 3′-end processing. Mammals also possess a second protein (Ape2) with sequence homology to ExoIII, but this protein exhibits comparatively weak AP site-specific and 3′-nuclease activities. Prompted by homology modeling studies, we found that substitutions in the hydrophobic pocket of Ape1 (comprised of F266, W280 and L282) reduce abasic incision potency about fourfold to 450,000-fold, while introduction of an ExoIII-like pocket into Ape2 enhances its AP endonuclease function. We demonstrate that mutations at F266 and W280 of Ape1 increase 3′ to 5′ DNA exonuclease activity. These results, coupled with prior comparative sequence analysis, indicate that this active-site hydrophobic pocket influences the substrate specificity of a diverse set of sequence-related proteins possessing the conserved four-layered α/β-fold. Lastly, we report that wild-type Ape1 excises 3′-mismatched nucleotides at a rate up to 374-fold higher than correctly base-paired nucleotides, depending greatly on the structure and sequence of the DNA substrate, suggesting a novel, selective role for the human protein in 3′-mismatch repair.

Analysis of physical processes in the convective mantle suggests that the grain size is probably very small immediately after the phase transformations at 660 km depth and is controlled by subsequent grain growth. It was proposed that the microstructural evolution of two-phase aggregates eventually reaches an asymptotic regime in which grain growth in both phases is coupled due to Zener pinning and obeys a power-law scaling relationship d∝t1/n. We performed Monte Carlo simulations for a particular case in which grain growth is controlled by diffusion along grain boundaries (n=4) and found a good agreement with theoretical predictions. On geological time scales the grain size of (Mg, Fe)-perovskite is controlled by Ostwald ripening of magnesiowu¨stite and Ca-perovskite. However, the physical parameters are poorly constrained and the grain size remains highly uncertain. If the rate-limiting process is silicon diffusion, the coarsening exponent is likely to be n=3 and the grain size is likely to be 100–1000 μm.

Samples uniaxially-compressed at 300 K show an axial CTE of (2.7+0.42T)×10−6 K−1 and a radial CTE of (48+0.16T)×10−6 K−1; the different axial and radial CTE indicate a small degree of alignment of the TATB molecules under uniaxial compression. LX-17-1 that was pressed in a die heated to 375 K showed additional growth in the 350–400 K temperature range during heating; apparently residual strain is produced in the heated Kel-F during pressing and is released when the material is reheated and the Kel-F softens. We observed irreversible “ratchet” growth from temperature cycling, and also found that LX-17-1 continues to expand when held at 524–558 K for periods of 4–5 h. Self-heating during thermal soak at 546–566 K indicated exothermic thermal decomposition.

There is a strong evidence to show, for the first time, that the process is photochemical in nature and due to the formation of the mono nitroso derivative. We have identified a chemical synthesis by which this derivative compound can be produced in the laboratory, thus allowing for direct testing and determination of its chemical and physical properties. Calculations also show only a slight decrease in the sensitivity and performance of the irradiated materials, attributed to the formation of this previously unidentified species.

There are ongoing research programs worldwide to develop pyrotechnics with reduced smoke and new explosives and propellants with higher performance or enhanced insensitivity to thermal or shock insults. In recent years, the synthesis of energetic, heterocyclic compounds have received a great amount of interest. Heterocycles generally have a higher heat of formation, density, and oxygen balance than their carbocyclic analogues. This review will concentrate on recent advances in the synthesis of heterocycles as energetic materials and will complement the excellent review of recent advances in energetic materials published in 1998 by Agrawal [Prog.

Historically, energetic materials (high explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics) have been disposed by open burning/open detonation (OB/OD). The use of OB/OD is becoming unacceptable due to public concerns and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Our goal is to develop environmentally sound and cost-effective alternatives to OB/OD. We have investigated the use of recycled high explosives as raw materials for producing a variety of higher value products. In this paper, we review chemical conversion activities with an emphasis on recent work from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

Fractures or defects, combined with sufficient pressure, dramatically increase the available surface area and potentially changes even the mode of combustion. Recent impact and cookoff experiments on PBX 9501, (HMX, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine, with a plasticized, Estane-based binder), have shown complex cracking patterns caused by impact or pressurization. Fast reactive waves have been observed to propagate through the cracks at hundreds of meters per second. We present experiments that examine the combustion of mechanically and thermally damaged samples of PBX 9501. Mechanically damaged samples, damaged by quasi-static compression, exhibit large, ∼200 μm stress fracture accompanied by extensive rubblization. Combustion experiments determine a 1.4±0.6 MPa critical pressure for the onset of violent convective combustion, consistent with connected porosity of 25 μm. Thermally damaged samples, damaged by heating in a 180 °C oven for 30 min, exhibit 2–20 μm cracks distributed throughout the sample. Combustion experiments indicate a 9.2±0.4 MPa critical pressure for the onset of violent convective combustion in the thermally damaged sample, consistent with connected porosity of 4 μm. Below the critical pressure, the burn rate and pressure exponent of thermally damaged PBX 9501 are close to those of the pristine material.

Percolation theory has been used historically to describe fluid flow through a network of permeable and impermeable sites. To describe thermal decomposition, the permeable and impermeable sites are related to broken or unbroken bonds. For HMX, N2O groups are treated as sites connected by oxygen and methyl bridges. Bridges connect the N2O sites by C&z.sbnd;N bonds and by intermolecular attractions between N and O. The gas-phase reaction of N2O with CH2O is also included in the mechanism. Predictions are compared to time-to-explosion data. The state of the condensed material at ignition is characterized by finite HMX-fragments of various molecular weights.

Changes in tensile elongation, mechanical hardening, polymer network properties, density, O2 permeation and molecular chain dynamics were investigated as a function of age. The techniques used include solvent swelling, detailed modulus profiling, and NMR relaxation measurements. The Arrhenius methodology, which normally assumes a linear extrapolation of high temperature aging data, is critically evaluated by using extensive data superposition and highly sensitive oxygen consumption measurements. Significant curvature in the Arrhenius diagram of these oxidation rates is observed to be similar to previous results found for other rubber materials that have been evaluated by this technique. Preliminary gel/network properties suggest that cross-linking is the dominant process at higher temperatures. The effect on the oxidation rate of the binder when other constituents found in propellants are present, such as ammonium perchlorate (AP), plasticizer and aluminum powder, is presented.

This work provides a foundation for improving our understanding of the processes at the mesoscale to advance continuum-level models for energetic material performance prediction and safety assessment. Highly resolved, three-dimensional numerical simulations indicate that rapid deformation occurs at material contact points, producing large amplitude fluctuations of stress that persist over several particle diameters. Localization of energy produces “hot-spots” due to shock focusing and plastic work near internal boundaries as material flows into interstitial regions. Numerical simulations indicate that “hot-spots” are strongly influenced by multiple crystal interactions. Chemical reaction processes also induce multiple wave structures associated with particle distribution effects. This study provides new insights into the micromechanical behavior of heterogeneous energetic materials, strongly suggesting that important statistical information associated with initiation and sustained reaction in shocked heterogeneous energetic materials may be embedded in fluctuating states that are distinctly different than the single shock jump descriptions traditionally used in continuum level models.

Yet, sensitivity/uncertainty analyses are not commonly performed on complex combustion models because the calculations are time consuming, CPU intensive, nontrivial exercises that can lead to deceptive results. To illustrate these ideas, a variety of sensitivity/uncertainty analyses were used to determine the uncertainty associated with thermal decomposition of polyurethane foam exposed to high radiative flux boundary conditions. The polyurethane used in this study is a rigid closed-cell foam used as an encapsulant. The response variable was chosen as the steady-state decomposition front velocity. Four different analyses are presented, including (1) an analytical mean value (MV) analysis, (2) a linear surrogate response surface (LIN) using a constrained latin hypercube sampling (LHS) technique, (3) a quadratic surrogate response surface (QUAD) using LHS, and (4) a direct LHS (DLHS) analysis using the full grid and time step resolved finite element model. To minimize the numerical noise, 50 μm elements and approximately 1 ms time steps were required to obtain stable uncertainty results. The complex, finite element foam decomposition model used in this study has 25 input parameters that include chemistry, polymer structure, and thermophysical properties. The surrogate response models (LIN and QUAD) are shown to give acceptable values of the mean and standard deviation when compared to the fully converged DLHS model.

Forced convection is present due to regional groundwater flow and natural convection is also expected to develop due to concentration differences and thermal changes. Such a situation takes place in deep-well disposal of liquid radioactive waste, in which the heat generation is caused by the radioactive decay.Flow and contaminant transport in the aquifer were calculated in 2D approximation in the plane of the aquifer, and the process of heat conduction in confining rocks was described by a 3D model. The set of equations governing flow, heat and mass transfer in the system was solved numerically with use of finite differences technique. Accuracy of numerical solution was checked by comparison with an original analytical solution of the flow problem for concentration-driven convection.It was shown that the influence of the natural convection component could cause acceleration as well as slowing down of the contaminant plume movement depending on system parameters. Results of numerical solution were approximated by a dimensionless analytical expression, which can be used for estimation of the relative impact of different driving forces exerting influence on the contaminant plume movement.

The lattice expansion of constituent phases within the composite was monitored from axial (parallel to the unidirectionally aligned fibers) and transverse (perpendicular to the fibers) directions during heating from room temperature (RT) to 1170 K. The phase-specific thermal expansion of the Ti–6Al–4V matrix and SiC fibers in the composite is discussed in the context of thermal load partitioning between the matrix and fibers. In the axial direction, the matrix and the fiber share the thermal load and co-expand up to about 800–900 K, above which the thermal load transfer becomes ineffective. In the transverse direction, the matrix and fibers expand independently over the whole temperature range. Using the Schapery model (J. Comp. Mater. 2 (1968) 380) and the rule-of-mixtures (ROM), the macroscopic thermal expansion of the composite is predicted and compared with the experimental results.

T1 - Electronic properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon–germanium alloys and long-range potential fluctuations JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2002/02/28/ VL - 325 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 490 SN - 09215093 AB - The charge transport properties and microstructure of hydrogenated amorphous silicon–germanium alloys (a-SiGe:H) prepared by the hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) process as a function of alloy composition have been investigated in detail by employing the photoconductive frequency mixing and small angle X-ray scattering techniques. Evidence for the presence of long-range potential fluctuations in a-SiGe:H alloys is revealed from the measurements of electric field dependence of the drift mobility. The effect of the long-range potential fluctuations is enhanced by the addition of Ge to the alloy system that results in the deterioration of the opto-electronic properties of a-SiGe:H alloys. Through the drift mobility field dependence, the depth and range of the potential fluctuations as a function of alloy composition are determined, and subsequently the charged defect density. It was found that at a composition of ∼10% Ge in Si, the photoresponse begins to decrease monotonically with increasing Ge content due to the decreases in the drift mobility and lifetime as a result of an increase in the concentration of charged defects, which lead to the long-range potential fluctuations whose depth increases, while the range decreases. The sharp changes in these parameters are demonstrated to be attributed to a concurrent abruptly increased structural heterogeneity due to the introduction of microvoids.

Increased fetal plasma erythropoietin concentration is an indicator of chronic fetal hypoxia. Amniotic fluid erythropoietin levels correlate highly significantly with fetal erythropoietin levels before labor. We studied AF erythropoietin levels after fetal death in order to determine whether this could differentiate between stillbirths from acute or chronic causes. Methods. Amniotic fluid was obtained after fetal death for erythropoietin measurement following fetal death in 21 pregnancies. Two of the pregnancies had twins, of which one infant was born alive. All 22 stillborn fetuses had an autopsy. None had malformations. Without prior knowledge of the results of the erythropoietin analyzes, the causes of fetal death were divided into acute, chronic or unknown groups. Results. Eight pregnancies had an acute cause of fetal death (e.g. cord complication or placental abruption), eight pregnancies had a chronic cause (intrauterine growth restriction or erythroblastosis) and in five pregnancies the cause of fetal death could not be determined. In all eight pregnancies with an acute cause of fetal death, AF erythropoietin levels were normal (< 20 mU/mL). In contrast, six of the eight pregnancies with a chronic cause had AF erythropoietin levels above normal (range from 49.9 mU/mL to 391 mU/mL). In the five pregnancies with an unknown cause of fetal death, AF erythropoietin levels were normal in three and elevated in two. Conclusions. Elevated AF erythropoietin levels, identified after fetal death, suggest that the fetus died from a chronic hypoxic event, whereas normal AF erythropoietin levels suggest that the fetus died from an acute event.

The new scheme is implemented into a parallel version of the TOUGH2 code and the numerical performance is tested on a Cray T3E-900 (a distributed-memory parallel computer with 692 processors) and IBM RS/6000 SP (a distributed-memory parallel computer with 3328 processors). The efficiency and robustness of the parallel-computing algorithm are demonstrated by completing three over-million-cell simulations using site-specific data for site characterization. The first application is the development of a three-dimensional unsaturated zone numerical model simulating flow of moisture in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, Nevada; the second problem is the modeling of flow of moisture, gas, and heat at the same site. The third application is the study of flow-focusing phenomena through fractures for the same site. Simulation results show that the parallel-computing technique enhances modeling capability by several orders of magnitude in speedup of computing times for large-scale modeling studies.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 36 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 251 EP - 266 SN - 02786826 AB - Particle deposition resulting from uniform external forces and Brownian motion is modeled in a parallel-plate reactor geometry characteristic of a wide range of semiconductor process tools: uniform, isothermal, downward flow exiting a perforated-plate showerhead separated by a small gap from a parallel, circular wafer. Particle transport is modeled using a Eulerian approach neglecting particle inertia and interception. Particles are assumed to originate in a planar trap located between the plates, such as would result for particles released from a plasma-induced particle trap after plasma extinction. Flow between infinite parallel plates is described by an analytic quasi-one-dimensional creeping flow approximation, where the showerhead is treated as a porous plate. An analytic, integral expression for particle collection efficiency (fraction of particles that end up on the wafer) is derived as a function of four dimensionless parameters: the flow Reynolds number, a dimensionless trap height, a dimensionless particle drift velocity, and the particle Peclet number. Numerical quadrature is used to calculate particle collection efficiency in terms of the controlling dimensionless parameters for external forces, which either enhance or inhibit particle deposition. Example calculations of collection efficiency are also presented in dimensional terms for a representative set of process conditions. Strategies to reduce particle deposition include the use of a protective external force and manipulation of the trap to keep it as far from the wafer as possible.

We demonstrate that the composition of the extracellular medium can critically influence the intracellular signaling dynamics induced by extracellular stimuli. Specifically, in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) system, amplitude and duration of mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK) activation are modulated by the positive-feedback loop formed by the EGFR, the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway, and a ligand-releasing protease. The signaling response to a transient input is short-lived when most of the released ligand is lost to the cellular microenvironment by diffusion and/or interaction with an extracellular ligand-binding component. In contrast, the response is prolonged or persistent in a cell that is efficient in recapturing the endogenous ligand. To study functional capabilities of autocrine loops, we have developed a mathematical model that accounts for ligand release, transport, binding, and intracellular signaling. We find that context-dependent signaling arises as a result of dynamic interaction between the parts of an autocrine loop. Using the model, we can directly interpret experimental observations on context-dependent responses of autocrine cells to ionizing radiation. In human carcinoma cells, MAPK signaling patterns induced by a short pulse of ionizing radiation can be transient or sustained, depending on cell type and composition of the extracellular medium. On the basis of our model, we propose that autocrine loops in this, and potentially other, growth factor and cytokine systems may serve as modules for context-dependent cell signaling.

However, not much is known about the dynamics of turnover (proliferation and death) of the CD4 + and CD8 + T cell populations in HIV-infected and healthy individuals. A new experimental technique has been developed using deuterated-glucose labeling that provides information on cell turnover in vivo. However, the quantitative interpretation of the data requires the development of specific dynamic models. In this paper we derive two models, a simple one-compartment model and a more complex two-compartment model. These models allow for robust quantification of death and proliferation rates, but careful consideration of the system is necessary to understand what is being measured in each case. We demonstrate that more realistic models can account not only for differences in the turnover rates between HIV-infected and healthy individuals, but also take into consideration the elevated state of activation in HIV infection. The use of these models in the interpretation of the experimental data will increase our knowledge of T cell dynamics in the context of HIV infection.

JO - Chemical Engineering Communications JF - Chemical Engineering Communications Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 189 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 391 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 00986445 AB - Experiments were conducted to measure the rate of vaporization of elemental mercury from molten lead to provide a basis for estimating radiological source terms for the APT (Accelerator Production of Tritium project) lead blanket. These data also have application to other accelerator targets in which mercury may be created by proton spallation in lead. Molten pools of lead with from 0.01% to 0.10% mercury were prepared under inert conditions. Experiments were conducted which varied in duration from several hours to as long as a month to measure the mercury vaporization from the lead pools. The melt pools and gas atmospheres were controlled at 340 degrees C during the tests, above the melting temperature of lead. Parameters which were varied in the tests included the mercury concentrations, gas flow rates over the melt, circulation in the melts, gas atmosphere compositions and the addition of aluminum to the melts. The vaporization of mercury was found to scale roughly linearly with the concentration of mercury in the pool. Variations in the gas flow rates were not found to have any effect on the mass transfer, however circulation of the melt by a submerged stirrer did enhance the mercury vaporization rate. The rate of mercury vaporization under a high-purity argon atmosphere was found to exceed that for an air atmosphere by as much as a factor of from ten to 20; the causal factor in this variation was the formation of an oxide layer over the melt pool with the air atmosphere which retarded mass transfer across the melt-atmosphere interface. Aluminum was introduced into the melt to investigate its effect upon the mercury vaporization rate. No effect was observed for a case under a high-purity argon atmosphere, which suggests that there are no chemical effects of the aluminum on the vaporization kinetics. With an air atmosphere, the presence of aluminum in the melt reduced the mercury vaporization by a factor of six in comparison to the identical test but without aluminum, suggesting that aluminum in the lead/ mercury melt retards the vaporization of mercury by creating a surface oxide layer in addition to the lead-oxide layer or by changing the character of the lead-oxide layer, thereby increasing the mass transfer resistance.

T1 - Melt inclusions from Marianas arc lavas: implications for the composition and formation of island arc magmas JO - Chemical Geology JF - Chemical Geology Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 183 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 263 SN - 00092541 AB - We have measured the major and trace element compositions of a suite of olivine-hosted melt inclusions in basaltic lavas from the islands of Agrigan and Guguan (one sample each) from the Mariana arc, part of the larger Izu–Bonin–Mariana system. The two lava samples examined show distinctly different chemical signatures that are considered to represent the dominance of sediment melt (Agrigan) or fluid (Guguan) components derived from the subducting slab and transferred to the mantle wedge, and thus provide an opportunity to examine melt inclusions from both fluid- and sediment melt-dominated arc melting systems.Un-homogenized melt inclusions from both samples examined, as well as other lavas from the same islands, contain unusual subsilicic amphiboles as mineral inclusions within melt inclusions. Textural evidence, as well as the compositions of laboratory-melted inclusions, suggests that these amphiboles may have been present as an early-formed phenocryst phase and trapped alongside melt within inclusions. Major element compositions of homogenized melt inclusions vary substantially, and in part are attributable to ‘accumulative’ amphibole contributions. Inclusions that appear to contain little or no amphibole component, however, typically have higher MgO and FeOT and lower CaO and Al2O3 contents than their host and associated lavas.Melt inclusions also display a large range of incompatible element abundances. Although the relative abundances of incompatible elements are generally consistent with the composition of lavas from Agrigan and Guguan, melt inclusion compositions are also substantially more variable than lava compositions from these islands. Melt inclusions from the two samples analyzed have Ba/La and [La/Sm]N ratios (chemical indicators of addition of slab-fluid and slab-derived melt components, respectively) similar in magnitude to the entire field of Mariana lava compositions. In general inclusions from Agrigan have higher La/Nb, Th/Nb, U/Nb, [La/Sm]N, [La/Yb]N, K2O/TiO2 and lower Cl/K2O, Ba/La, Ba/Nb, Ba/Th and Ce/Ce* than Guguan melt inclusions. These signatures are consistent with addition of slab-sediment-derived melt and slab-derived fluid to the melting systems beneath Agrigan and Guguan, respectively. We suggest that the large variations apparent in melt inclusion compositions largely represent differences in the flux of slab-derived components to the mantle wedge beneath individual arc melting systems, although small-scale variations in the depletion of the mantle wedge could also play a role. Our data also indicates that the composition of the slab-derived sediment melt supplied to the mantle wedge beneath Agrigan may be compositionally heterogeneous, although a larger data set is required to examine this in further detail.The presence of melt inclusions of highly variable composition in relatively evolved olivine phenocrysts (Fo64–Fo83) show that, regardless of the ultimate cause of the incompatible element variations in melt inclusions, discrete melts of distinctly different compositions persist without substantial intermixing within the magmatic plumbing systems beneath Agrigan and Guguan (and presumably other arc volcanoes) during long intervals of magmatic differentiation. This suggests a model of small batches of magma migrating and differentiating beneath arc volcanoes, with mixing occurring only at a very late and probably shallow stage.

Each relies on excitation of the 7s 3P1 ← 6p2 3P0 transition from the ground state of lead and detection of fluorescence on the 7s 3P1 → 6p2 3P1 and 7s 3P1 → 6p23P2 transitions. Aqueous solutions of lead salts are atomized and injected into a lean flatflame. Dye laser excitation is used to detect the formation of Pb atoms at the flame front, and to obtain a concentration profile in the post flame gases. Excimer laser fragmentation-fluorescence spectroscopy (ELFFS) is used to detect molecular gas-phase and aerosol compounds in the post-flame gases. A single-shot detection limit of 220 ppb for Pb species for the single-laser ELFFS technique has been determined in post-flame gases; the sensitivity of the technique is not seriously affected by the Pb species injected into the flame. A sharp rise in ELFFS Pb signal in the 600 to 750 K region from molecular and aerosol forms of Pb is attributed to homogenous nucleation of PbO. Two-laser fragmentation-fluorescence measurements with a variable delay time between photofragmentation and Pb atom detection indicate that chemical reactions may be an important removal step for Pb at elevated temperatures.

The analysis is based on the time-dependent conservation equations of mass, energy, and species concentration in both the gas and condensed phases. A comprehensive chemical kinetics scheme involving 45 species and 232 steps is used to study the detailed heat-release mechanism in the gas phase. The analysis has been applied to investigate the ignition delay and key chemical processes involved in the laser-induced ignition of HMX monopropellant. Results show gas-phase absorption of laser energy enhances the ignition process, but reduces the dependency of ignition delay on the laser intensity. The process consists of inert heating, thermal decomposition, primary-flame occurrence, secondary-flame preparation and formation, and, finally, establishment of steady-state combustion.

In order to create the channel region, either nitrogen or phosphorus ion-implantations was performed to a depth of 300 nm at room temperature to a volumetric concentration of 5×1017 cm−3. The source/drain regions were created by nitrogen implantation to a volumetric concentration of 2×1019 cm−3, regardless of the species used for the channel implantation. Annealing for a duration of 15 min at 1450 °C (for nitrogen-implanted channels) or 1500 °C (for phosphorus-implanted channels) activated the implants. This study utilized aluminum Schottky gates for the FETs.

To examine the characteristics of understory species that distinguish between disturbances induced by military traffic, we randomly established transects in four training intensity categories (reference, light, moderate, and heavy) and in an area that had been remediated following intense disturbance at Fort Benning, GA. A total of 134 plant species occurred in these transects with the highest diversity (95 species) in light training areas and the lowest (16 species) in heavily disturbed plots. Forty-seven species were observed in only one of the five disturbance categories. The variability in understory vegetation cover among disturbance types was trimodal ranging from less than 5% cover for heavily disturbed areas to 67% cover for reference, light, and remediated areas. High variability in species diversity and lack of difference in understory cover led us to consider life-form and plant families as indicators of military disturbance. Life-form successfully distinguished between plots based on military disturbances. Species that are Phanerophytes (trees and shrubs) were the most frequent life-form encountered in sites that experienced light infantry training. Therophytes (annuals) were the least common life-form in reference and light training areas. Chamaephytes (plants with their buds slightly above ground) were the least frequent life-form in moderate and remediation sites. Heavy training sites supported no Chamaephytes or Hemicryptophytes (plants with dormant buds at ground level). The heavy, moderate, remediated, and reference sites were all dominated by Cryptophytes (plants with underground buds) possibly because of their ability to withstand both military disturbance and ground fires (the natural disturbance of longleaf pine forests). Analysis of soils collected from each transect revealed that depth of the A layer of soil was significantly higher in reference and light training areas which may explain the life-form distributions. In addition, the diversity of plant families and, in particular, the presence of grasses and composites were indicative of training and remediation history. These results are supported by prior analysis of life-form distribution subsequent to other disturbances and demonstrate the ability of life-form and plant families to distinguish between military disturbances in longleaf pine forests.

The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) of the modified graphite showed that almost all the copper covered the edge plane of graphite particles and the copper content increased from 6 to 17 at.% depending upon the plating time. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the copper composition obtained using EDS. TGA carried out under oxygen atmosphere showed that the combustion temperature decreased by 200 °C for a copper content from 0 to 16 at.%. Cycling the modified graphite at a C/10 rate showed that the initial large irreversible capacity typically present in untreated natural graphite was significantly reduced when the modified graphite contained 6–17 at.% copper coatings. A differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) comparison between fully lithiated copper coated MAG-20 with fully lithiated MCMB showed that the major exothermic peak for the MAG-20 modified graphite is lower in magnitude and is shifted to higher temperatures. However, both MAG-20 and MCMB types of lithiated graphite gave the same amount of total heat generation up to 350 °C.

Using NMR spectroscopy, we have determined the first ever three-dimensional structure of an ARID-DNA complex (mol. wt 25.7 kDa) formed by Dead ringer from Drosophila melanogaster. ARIDs recognize DNA through a novel mechanism involving major groove immobilization of a large loop that connects the helices of a non-canonical helix-turn-helix motif, and through a concomitant structural rearrangement that produces stabilizing contacts from a n-hairpin. Dead ringer's preference for AT-rich DNA originates from three positions within the ARID fold that form energetically significant contacts to an adenine-thymine base step. Amino acids that dictate binding specificity are not highly conserved, suggesting that ARIDs will bind to a range of nucleotide sequences. Extended ARIDs, found in several sequence-specific transcription factors, are distinguished by the presence of a C-terminal helix that may increase their intrinsic affinity for DNA. The prevalence of serine amino acids at all specificity determining positions suggests that ARIDs within SWI/SNF-related complexes will interact with DNA non-sequence specifically.

In making such comparisons, it is desirable to use equivalent indicators of potential health risks for radionuclides, chemical carcinogens, and noncarcinogenic hazardous chemicals. Current approaches to risk assessment that were developed for purposes of protecting human health do not provide equivalent indicators of potential risks from exposure to radionuclides and hazardous chemicals. Comparisons of environmental concentrations or calculated exposures or risks with standards for protection of public health also do not provide equivalent indicators of potential risks. We propose a simple approach to comparative risk assessments in which calculated exposures to any hazardous substances are expressed relative to no-observed-effect levels (NOELs) or, preferably, lower confidence limits of benchmark doses (BMDLs) in humans. This approach provides an equivalent, science-based indicator of the relative risks posed by different exposures to any hazardous substances.

SN - 0364152X AB - Increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are widely expected to cause global warming and other climatic changes. It is important to establish priorities for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, so that resources can be allocated efficiently and effectively. This is a global problem, and it is possible, on a global scale, to identify those activities whose emissions have the greatest potential for enhancing the greenhouse effect. However, perspectives from smaller scales must be appreciated, because it is on scales down to the local level that response measures will be implemented. This paper analyzes the relative importance of emissions from the many individual sources, on scales ranging from global to national to subnational. Individual country perspectives and proposed policy measures and those of subnational political entities exhibit some commonalities but differ among themselves and from a global-scale perspective in detail.

JO - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment JF - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 74 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 193 EP - 208 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 01676369 AB - Direct measurement of the accumulation of non-radioactive trace elements in aquatic biota near uranium mining or processing sites has been relatively rare, with greater focus on the radiological activity in the adjacent soils and groundwater. To evaluate the potential ecological concern associated with trace elements at a former uranium mill site in southeastern Utah, benthic macroinvertebrates were collected and analyzed for 17 trace elements from multiple locations within a small on-site stream, Montezuma Creek, and a nearby reference stream. Key questions of this study relate to the spatial and temporal extent of contamination in aquatic biota, the potential ecological risks associated with that contamination, and the usefulness of benthic macroinvertebrates as a monitoring tool at this site. Composite samples of similar macroinvertebrate taxa and functional feeding groups were collected from each site over a two year period that was representative of normal and dry-year conditions. In both years, mean concentrations of arsenic, molybdenum, selenium, and vanadium were significantly higher (a factor of 2–4 times; P < 0.05) in macroinvertebrates collected from one or both of the two Montezuma Creek sites immediately downstream of the mill tailing site in comparison to concentrations from reference locations. Mean uranium concentrations in invertebrates immediately downstream of the mill site were more than 10 times higher than at reference sites. The site-to-site pattern of contamination in Montezuma Creek invertebrates was similar in 1995 and 1996, with mill-related trace elements showing a downstream decreasing trend. However, nine of seventeen contaminant concentrations were higher in the second year of the study, possibly due to a higher influx of deep groundwater during the drier second year of the study. A preliminary assessment of ecological risks, based on the benthic macroinvertebrate bioaccumulation data, suggests that aquatic and terrestrial population risks are low. Benthic macroinvertebrates appeared to be sensitive integrators of trace element inputs to the aquatic environment from a former uranium mill tailing site, and provided useful spatial and temporal patterns of contamination not easily obtained using conventional surface water or groundwater measures.

The selected samples included organic-sulfur-rich Spanish lignites mined in the Mequinenza, Utrillas and Calaf basins; calcareous source-rocks from Organya` and sulfur-rich oil shales from Ribesalbes. Using analytical pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, we estimated the ratio Sorg/C in these coals and oil shales, and compared them with those obtained by the ASTM method D2492. Also, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) allowed the direct determination of organic sulfur content in coals. Two major non-destructive techniques, XANES and XPS, were used to investigate sulfur functionalities, such as pyritic, sulfidic, thiophenic, sulfoxide, sulfone, sulfonate and sulfate forms. The study shows that sulfur characterization in coal is not without difficulties and no method is exempt from problems and the introduction of possible artifacts.

However, it is limited in application due to the presence of small voids that grow and coalesce during the forming process, often causing premature failure. In order to understand and control this phenomenon accurate constitutive models must be developed which account for void parameters that affect the macroscopic behavior of the material. This paper looks specifically at the effect of void size and spacing on the ductility and flow stress of viscoplastic materials. Based on the gradient-dependent theory of plasticity, a model is proposed that accounts for size effects by incorporating strain gradient terms into a continuum based constitutive equation. Both experimental testing and finite element (FE) modeling were performed on Pb–Sn, tensile specimens with small holes drilled in them in random patterns. The experimental tests indicate that a decrease in void size results in an increase in ductility. The FE results demonstrate that the gradient terms strengthen the material by diffusing the strain in areas of high strain concentration and delay failure by slowing void growth. In addition, the model predicted an increase in ductility and flow stress with decreasing void size.

The efficiency when measured in the traditional way, by the loss of particles from the exiting air, was like in many other such devices, typically high (80–90%). However, the actual useful deposition onto the target substrate was never more than 50% and sometime as low as a few percent only. Therefore, special caution should be taken in design and testing of electrostatic precipitators for quantitative sampling of aerosols.

The results using dry solid sodium chloride (NaCl) particles show no discernible difference in the geometric mean diameter and the geometric standard deviation of particles passing through the ejector. Similar results were found for the dioctyl-phthalate (DOP) particles. In other words, there was no apparent shift in the center and spread (measured by the geometric standard deviation) of the particle size distributions. The ratio of the total number concentrations before and after the ejector indicates a dilution ratio of approximately 20 applies equally for both DOP and NaCl particles. The result suggests the dilution capability of this ejector was not affected by the particle composition. When the variability of the particle counts (in coefficient of variation, CV) in individual size ranges was examined, we found that the bin-to-bin variability was much greater for DOP than for NaCl particles. Although the first and second moments of a distribution (i.e., the geometric mean diameter and geometric standard deviation) were not altered significantly for the DOP particles by the ejector, the skewness measure indicated otherwise. The ejector may modify the particle size distribution of deformable particles such as DOP. The results suggest that it may be difficult to precisely characterize the size distribution of particles using the ejector technique if the particle is not solid. This result has an implication for the use of the ejector as a dilution tool, and one needs to know that the particles to be diluted with such a device are reasonably dry and/or non-deformable under the turbulent condition inside the ejector.

In particular, analytical pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to gain detailed molecular information on the organic structures. Pyrolysis in the presence of a methylating agent (tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide, TMAH) was used to characterize polar moieties. We employed non-destructive techniques, XANES and XPS, to investigate the composition of the sulfur functionalities (such as sulfide, polysulfide, thiophene, sulfoxide, sulfonate and sulfate). The combination of these different approaches allows a more complete understanding of the organic sulfur structures in the leonardite coal. In agreement with previous studies, our results show that oxidized sulfur functionalities, such as sulfonate and sulfate, represent the major forms of sulfur in leonardite coal.

T1 - Influence of hydrological and geochemical processes on the transport of chelated metals and chromate in fractured shale bedrock JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 55 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 137 SN - 01697722 AB - Field-scale processes governing the transport of chelated radionuclides in groundwater remain conceptually unclear for highly structured, heterogeneous environments. The objectives of this research were to provide an improved understanding and predictive capability of the hydrological and geochemical mechanisms that control the transport behavior of chelated radionuclides and metals in anoxic subsurface environments that are complicated by fracture flow and matrix diffusion. Our approach involved a long-term, steady-state natural gradient field experiment where nonreactive Br− and reactive 57Co(II)EDTA2−, 109CdEDTA2−, and 51Cr(VI) were injected into a fracture zone of a contaminated fractured shale bedrock. The spatial and temporal distribution of the tracer and solutes was monitored for 500 days using an array of groundwater sampling wells instrumented within the fast-flowing fracture regime and a slower flowing matrix regime. The tracers were preferentially transported along strike-parallel fractures coupled with the slow diffusion of significant tracer mass into the bedrock matrix. The chelated radionuclides and metals were significantly retarded by the solid phase with the mechanisms of retardation largely due to redox reactions and sorption coupled with mineral-induced chelate–radionuclide dissociation. The formation of significant Fe(III)EDTA− byproduct that accompanied the dissociation of the radionuclide–chelate complexes was believed to be the result of surface interactions with biotite which was the only Fe(III)-bearing mineral phase present in these Fe-reducing environments. These results counter current conceptual models that suggest chelated contaminants move conservatively through Fe-reducing environments since they are devoid of Fe-oxyhydroxides that are known to aggressively compete for chelates in oxic regimes. Modeling results further demonstrated that chelate–radionuclide dissociation reactions were most prevalent along fractures where accelerated weathering processes are expected to expose more primary minerals than the surrounding rock matrix. The findings of this study suggest that physical retardation mechanisms (i.e. diffusion) are dominant within the matrix regime, whereas geochemical retardation mechanisms are dominant within the fracture regime.

Geologic and hydrologic studies of the Salado conducted since the mid-1970s have led to the development of a conceptual model of the hydrogeology of the formation that involves far-field (i.e. beyond the disturbance created by the repository) permeability in anhydrite layers and at least some impure halite layers. Pure halite layers and some impure halite layers may not possess an interconnected pore network adequate to provide permeability. Pore pressures are probably very close to lithostatic pressure. In the near field around an excavation, dilation, creep, and shear have created and/or enhanced permeability and decreased pore pressure. Whether flow occurs in the far field under natural gradients or only after some threshold gradient is reached is unknown. If far-field flow does occur, mean pore velocities are probably on the order of a meter per hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of years.Most hydraulic-test responses in the Salado do not appear to reflect radial flow, but instead imply subradial (e.g. intermediate between linear and radial) flow dimensions. We believe these subradial dimensions reflect channeling of flow through fracture networks, or portions of fractures, that occupy a diminishing proportion of the radially available space, or through percolation networks that are not ‘saturated’ (percolation terminology meaning fully interconnected). This is probably related to the directional nature of the permeability created or enhanced by excavation effects. Inferred values of permeability cannot be separated from their associated flow dimensions. Therefore, numerical models of flow and transport should include heterogeneity that is structured to provide the same flow dimensions as are observed in hydraulic tests. Modeling of the Salado Formation around the WIPP repository should also include coupling between hydraulic properties and the evolving stress field because hydraulic properties change as the stress field changes.

A broad interband absorption structure exists around 2 eV in the optical conductivity spectra of the compounds. The absorption structure of Co3Fe is located at lower energies than that of Fe3Co by about 0.5 eV. The calculated spin-polarized band structures of the compounds by the linear-muffin-tin orbitals method revealed that the Fe- and Co-like d states disperse in the same energy region because of hybridization. The theoretically calculated optical absorption structure of Fe3Co shows a good agreement with the experimental result while that of Co3Fe is located at higher energies than the experimental result by about 0.3 eV. Such discrepancy is interpreted as due to the self-energy shift of the interband transitions involving correlated Co-like d electrons.

We quantify the temporal evolution of the string by an activity function A(t) representing the fraction of active nodes at time t and find three distinct dynamic regimes. There is an initial stage of fast decay of the activity; in the second, intermediate, regime, an exponential decay of activity is observed; and, eventually, the fast collapse of the string towards its final pinned state results in decay in the activity with Ar∼(tp−t)ψ, where tp is the pinning time in the finite system involved.

While the ideal microstructural state of melt-spun 2-14-1 is a homogeneous dispersion of nanocrystallites embedded within a vitrified matrix, in practice it is very difficult to control the microstructural development to a uniform nanocrystalline state. This as-yet unmet challenge underlies the desire to understand, and ultimately to control, the solidification path taken by Nd–Fe–B-based melts during rapid solidification processing in order to obtain a homogeneous microstructure. Processing factors that influence the homogeneity and hence magnetic performance of the rapidly quenched microstructure of Nd2Fe14B are evaluated and categorized. These results emphasize both the complexities of rapid solidification processing as well as the potential for control of a highly chaotic processing technique. A qualitative solidification model that incorporates recalesence is presented. This model details the evolution of microstructures related to the thermal gradient as well as the phase selection process undertaken during solidification of rapidly solidified Nd–Fe–B alloys. The model is novel in that it explains the observed microstructures, from nanophased equiaxed grains transitioning to large elongated grains, and provides both diagnostic and predictive information concerning rapid solidification processing methods.

The scattering from two heavy water solutions containing, respectively, nickel in natural abundance and enriched in the 60 Ni isotope, were measured under ambient conditions on the GLAD instrument at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, Argonne, using time-of-flight neutron diffraction. Because there have been several earlier neutron measurements, aqueous NiCl 2 is widely regarded as a reference system for studies of hydration in aqueous solution. An unexpectedly large difference in deuterium enrichment between our heavy water solutions was detected, initially from analysis of the scattering data. This imbalance, although on the face of it undesirable, has yielded a useful opportunity to gain insights into the effects of such a systematic error on the present results by comparing them to those from earlier measurements.

A scanning continuous wave Nd laser beam heated the codeposits to a temperature of 1200–2300 °C for 10–200 ms in an argon atmosphere. The temperature rise of the codeposit was significantly higher than that of the manufactured tile material (e.g. 1770 °C cf. 1080 °C). A major fraction of tritium was thermally desorbed with minimal change to the surface at a laser intensity of 80 W/mm2, peak temperatures above 1230 °C and heating duration 10–20 ms. In two experiments, 46% and 84% of the total tritium was released during the laser scan. The application of this method for tritium removal from a tokamak reactor appears promising and has significant advantages over oxidative techniques.

Grain-boundary sulfur concentrations in dilute Ni–S alloys were systematically varied by time-controlled annealing of specimens at 625 °C. The critical sulfur concentration for 50% intergranular fracture of 15.5±3.4 at.% S was found to be, within experimental error, equal to the critical implant concentration of 14.2±3.3 at.% S required to induce 50% amorphization of single-crystal nickel during S+ implantation at liquid nitrogen temperature. This suggests that segregation-induced intergranular embrittlement, like implantation-induced amorphization, may be a disorder-induced melting process, albeit one occurring locally at grain boundaries. In addition, a kinetic model for segregation-induced embrittlement based on Poisson statistics is introduced, and the synergistic effects of hydrogen–sulfur co-segregation on embrittlement are discussed.

This methodology is applied to the problem of predicting embrittilement levels in light-water reactors by combining the existing models with the conventional non-linear estimators. The Power Reactor Embrittlement Database is used in this study. The results indicate that the combined embrittlement predictor achieved about 56.5% and 32.8% reductions in the uncertainties for General Electric Boiling Water Reactor plate and weld data compared to Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, respectively. The implications of irradiation temperature effect to the development of radiation embrittlement model are then discussed.

These mixed nucleobase 12-mers fragment first by loss of a neutral nucleobase (A, G, C, and/or 5-methyl-cytosine) followed by cleavage at 3′ C&z.sbnd;O bond of the sugar from which the base is lost to produce the complementary sequence ions, i.e., [a – B] and w type of ions. No detectable loss of 8-oxo-guanine and/or thymine from these 12-mers is observed under gentle collision conditions in the ion trap. The primary loss of a nucleobase and the subsequent backbone cleavage to generate sequence ions strongly depend on the charge state of the parent molecular ion. For low charge states (2- and 3-), product ions due to the loss of a neutral guanine base and related sequence ions are dominant in the tandem mass spectra. However, preferential loss of a neutral adenine becomes the primary reaction channel from the 5- charge state of the molecular ion. Such charge state dependent fragmentation behavior was utilized to determine the site of 8-oxo-dG residue in a series of structural isomers. The position of 8-oxo-dG residue can be simply determined from the fragmentation pattern of 3- charge state, but not of 5- charge state. It is suggested that in addition to specific modification that affects the N-glycosidic bond strength, total charge content of an ODN is an important factor for determining the differential fragmentation behavior.

Side-chain cleavages were observed for arginine, histidine, asparagine or glutamine, methionine, and lysine residues. All peptides containing an arginine, histidine, asparagine or glutamine showed the losses associated with that residue. Methionine side-chain loss was observed for doubly-protonated bombesin. Lysine side-chain loss was observed for triply-protonated dynorphin A fragment 1–13 but not for the doubly-protonated ion. The proximity of arginine to a methoxy C-terminal group significantly enhances the extent of side-chain fragmentation. Fragment ions associated with side-chain losses were comparable in abundance to those resulting from backbone cleavage in all cases. In the ECD spectrum of one peptide, the major product was due to fragmentation within an arginine side chain. Our results suggest that cleavages within side chains should be taken into account in analysis of ECD mass spectral data. Losses from arginine, histidine, and asparigine/glutamine can be used to ascertain their presence, as in the analysis of unknown peptides, particularly those with non-linear structures.

Methods and Results: Particulate matter was collected on a device designed to filter 1·4 × 106 litres of air in a 24 h period on a 1-lm pore size polyester membrane. Methods were optimized for extraction of genomic DNA from the air filter concentrate. Preparation times of 90 s with 0·5-0·05 mm diameter zirconia/silica beads yielded the highest concentration genomic DNA that was able to support PCR. A 24-h air sample was taken in Salt Lake City, Utah and the microbial composition was determined by the amplification and sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA fragments. Conclusions: Sequence analysis revealed a large diversity in the type of microbial species present including clones matching the sequence of Clostridium botulinum . The primary components of the aerosol sample included many different spore-forming bacteria as well as more fragile members of the Proteobacteria division. Significance and Impact of the Study: The high-volume air collection and genomic DNA recovery system allows for the rapid detection of both cultivable as well as culture-resistant organisms in the environment.

The 14C/C data suggest that significant internal recycling/translocation of carbon is unlikely in the sampled thalli. However, converting the14 C/C data for the larger intact thalli sampled at each site to calendar years, using the atmospheric 14C record, does not yield constant or even monotonically varying growth rates. Since crustose lichen growth rates are constant or decrease with thallus size, and since the 14C/C data from these larger thalli show a relatively small spread in14 C/C data values compared to the Northern Hemisphere atmospheric 14C record over the past 50 years, the14 C/C data suggest that carbon turnover may be occurring. Carbon turnover was modelled starting with the atmospheric14 C record. Turnover was incorporated so that for each year in the record a constant percentage of the total carbon was lost annually and replaced by new photosynthetically fixed carbon with a 14C/C ratio equal to that of the contemporary atmosphere. The 14C/C data from the radial samples were then converted to a calendar year using the model record. Constant annual carbon turnover values of 0, 0·5, 1, 1·5, 2, 2·5, 3, 3·5, 4, 4·5, 5, 5·5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50% were modelled. Carbon turnover values between 3 and 6% created 14C model records that when applied to 14C/C data from the thalli produced constant radial growth rates that were: (1) identical for all lichens at a given site, and (2) independent of lichen size at a given site. The 14C/C data further indicate that annual carbon turnover in this species of lichen is <10%, independent of the nature of thallus radial growth. The data and modelling suggest that carbon turnover might provide a simple explanation for the 14C/C data from the thalli and might explain the discrepancies between the standard atmospheric 14C record and the 14C/C ratios observed in C. trachyphylla.

The algorithm makes use of temporal continuity and a non-uniform elastic material model to provide improved estimates of heart motion between time frames. Temporal continuity is utilized in two ways. First, incremental motion fields between adjacent time frames are calculated to improve estimation of long-range motion between distant time frames. Second, a consistency criterion is used to insure that the image match between distant time frames is consistent with the deformations used to match adjacent time frames. The consistency requirement augments the algorithm’s ability to estimate motion between noisy time frames, and the concatenated incremental motion fields improve estimation for large deformations. The estimated motion fields are used to establish a voxel correspondence between volumes and to produce a motion-compensated composite volume.

We have determined the crystal structure of the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of MotA (MotCF) to 1.6 Å resolution using multiwavelength, anomalous diffraction methods. The structure reveals a novel DNA-binding α/β motif that contains an exposed β-sheet surface that mediates interactions with the DNA. Independent biochemical experiments have shown that MotCF binds to one surface of a single turn of DNA through interactions in adjacent major and minor grooves. We present a model of the interaction in which β-ribbons at opposite corners of the six-stranded β-sheet pen-etrate the DNA grooves, and call the motif a ‘double wing’ to emphasize similarities to the ‘winged-helix’ motif. The model is consistent with data on how MotA functions at middle promoters, and provides an explanation for why MotA can form non-specific multimers on DNA.

Prior observations showed a clear pattern of five modes with alternating frequency spacings of 33.3 and 34.6 μHz, with a sixth mode at a problematic spacing of 50.0 μHz (which equals 1.5×33.3 μHz) to the high-frequency side. Asymptotic pulsation theory allowed for a frequency spacing of 34 μHz, but Hipparcos observations rule out such a spacing. Theoretical calculations of magnetoacoustic modes in Ap stars by Cunha predicted that there should be a previously undetected mode 34 μHz higher than the main group, with a smaller spacing between it and the highest one. In this Letter, we present preliminary results from a multisite photometric campaign on the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 1217 using the ‘Whole Earth Telescope’. While a complete analysis of the data will appear in a later paper, one outstanding result from this run is the discovery of a newly detected frequency in the pulsation spectrum of this star, at the frequency predicted by Cunha.

Hence, when I decided to go into the field of biophysics, it was natural that I concentrated on the effects of light on relatively simple biological systems, such as proteins. The wavelengths absorbed by the amino acid subunits of proteins are in the ultraviolet (UV). The wavelengths that affect the biological activities, the action spectra, also are in the UV, but are not necessarily parallel to the absorption spectra. Understanding these differences led me to investigate the action spectra for affecting nucleic acids, and the effects of UV on viruses and cells. The latter studies led me to the discovery of the important molecular nature of the damages affecting DNA (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers) and to the discovery of nucleotide excision repair. Individuals with the genetic disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are extraordinarily sensitive to sunlight-induced skin cancer. The finding, by James Cleaver, that their skin cells were defective in DNA repair strongly suggested that DNA damage was a key step in carcinogenesis. Such information was important for estimating the wavelengths in sunlight responsible for human skin cancer and for predicting the effects of ozone depletion on the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer. It took experiments with backcross hybrid fish to call attention to the probable role of the longer UV wavelengths not absorbed by DNA in the induction of melanoma. These reflections trace the biophysicist’s path from molecules to melanoma.

T1 - Use of bomb pulse carbon-14 to age senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer’s disease JO - Neurobiology of Aging JF - Neurobiology of Aging Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 23 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 179 SN - 01974580 AB - The time course of formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and senile plaques (SP) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain is unknown. Above ground nuclear weapons testing in the late 1950s and early 1960s led to significantly increased levels of 14C in the atmosphere and carbon cycle. Because the amyloid beta peptide of SP and paired helical filaments of NFT, once formed, are relatively resistant to degradation, 14C levels observed in SP and NFT should reflect their year of formation. The purpose of this study was to develop a method to determine whether 14C levels could be used to define NFT and SP ages. Using accelerator mass spectrometry to measure bomb-pulse 14C levels, we determined the average age of formation of isolated SP and NFT fractions in bulk brain samples of 6 AD subjects. Although preliminary, the results demonstrate that it is possible to use bomb pulse 14C to determine the average year of formation of NFT and SP in the brain in AD. In addition, the data show that these structures, once formed, have a much slower carbon turnover rate than normal brain and are not in a formation/enzymatic degradation equilibrium.

Few studies, however, have investigated this highly dynamic response at relevant temporal and spatial scales. • A combination of leaf and whole-tree measurements and stand-level extrapolations were used to assess how stomatal conductance, canopy transpiration and conductance, and evapotranspiration might be affected by future, higher CO2 concentrations. • Midday measurements of stomatal conductance for leaves sampled in a 12-yr-old sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua ) stand exposed to free-air CO2 enrichment were up to 44% lower at elevated than at ambient CO2 concentrations, whereas canopy conductance, averaged over the growing season, was only 14% lower in stands exposed to CO2 enrichment. The magnitude of this response was dependent on vapor pressure deficit and soil water potential. Annual estimates of evapotranspiration showed relatively small reductions due to atmospheric CO2 enrichment. • These data illustrate that the hydrological response of a closed-canopy plantation to elevated CO2 depends on the temporal and spatial scale of observation. They emphasize the importance of interacting variables and confirm that integration of measurements over space and time reduce what, at the leaf level, might otherwise appear to be a large and significant response.

The main areas of interest are the transmission of the guides at various neutron energies and the intrinsic time-of-flight (TOF) peak broadening. Use of a δ-function time pulse from a uniform Lambert neutron source allows one to quantitatively simulate the effect of guides’ geometry on the TOF peak broadening. With a converging guide, the intensity and the beam divergence increases while the TOF peak width decreases compared with that of a straight guide. By contrast, use of a diverging guide decreases the intensity and the beam divergence, and broadens the width (in TOF) of the transmitted neutron pulse.

This instrument was developed for the HERMES experiment at DESY which emphasises measurements of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. It provides particle identification for pions, kaons, and protons in the momentum range from 2 to 15 GeV, which is essential to these studies. The instrument uses two radiators, C4F10, a heavy fluorocarbon gas, and a wall of silica aerogel tiles. The use of aerogel in a RICH detector has only recently become possible with the development of clear, large, homogeneous and hydrophobic aerogel. A lightweight mirror was constructed using a newly perfected technique to make resin-coated carbon-fiber surfaces of optical quality. The photon detector consists of 1934 photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for each detector half, held in a soft steel matrix to provide shielding against the residual field of the main spectrometer magnet.

Instr. and Meth. B 183 (2001) 401]. The conversion is determined from ion beam analysis of specially prepared standards and transforms the channel axis of ERDA spectra directly to units of depth. However, the channel-depth conversion does not address energy spread inherent in forward recoil spectra. Energy spread causes a broadening in the energy range of the spectrum, which can lead to errors in depth profiling. This work introduces a technique that addresses energy spread, called the energy spread correction. Together, the energy spread correction and the channel-depth conversion techniques, applied to ERDA spectra in that order, comprise a depth profiling method presented in this work. In the case where forward recoil spectra must be obtained using an absorber foil, we show that the depth profiling method is independent of foil thickness. The method was developed for hydrogen depth profiling by ERDA performed with a reflection geometry setup that requires an absorber foil. But, in principle, this method could be used to profile other elements, and that with transmission geometry setups and/or detection systems that do not require an absorber foil.

A simple linear extrapolation of gA to the chiral limit yielded a value that was almost a factor of two smaller than the experimental one. Here we report our recent study of this issue. In particular, we investigate possible errors arising from finite lattice volume, especially in the lighter quark mass region. We employ a RG-improved gauge action (DBW2), which maintains very good chiral behavior even on a coarse lattice (a−1 ⋍ 1.3 GeV), in order to perform simulations at large physical volume (> (2fm)3). Our preliminary results suggest that the finite volume effect is significant.

We use an order α2sa2, a4 Symanzik improved gauge action and an order αsa2, a4 improved staggered quark action. The improved staggered action leads to a dispersion relation with diminished lattice artifacts, and hence better thermodynamic properties. It decreases the flavor symmetry breaking of staggered quarks substantially, and we estimate that at the transition temperature for an Nt = 8 to Nt = 10 lattice all pions will be lighter than the lightest kaon. Preliminary results on lattices with Nt = 4, 6 and 8 are presented.

This analysis characterizes the abilities of these models to ventilate the ocean on timescales relevant for anthropogenic CO2 uptake. We found a large range in the modeled global inventory (±30%), mainly due to differences in ventilation from the high latitudes. In the Southern Ocean, models differ particularly in the longitudinal distribution of the CFC uptake in the intermediate water, whereas the latitudinal distribution is mainly controlled by the subgrid-scale parameterization. Models with isopycnal diffusion and eddy-induced velocity parameterization produce more realistic intermediate water ventilation. Deep and bottom water ventilation also varies substantially between the models. Models coupled to a sea-ice model systematically provide more realistic AABW formation source region; however these same models also largely overestimate AABW ventilation if no specific parameterization of brine rejection during sea-ice formation is included. In the North Pacific Ocean, all models exhibit a systematic large underestimation of the CFC uptake in the thermocline of the subtropical gyre, while no systematic difference toward the observations is found in the subpolar gyre. In the North Atlantic Ocean, the CFC uptake is globally underestimated in subsurface. In the deep ocean, all but the adjoint model, failed to produce the two recently ventilated branches observed in the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). Furthermore, simulated transport in the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) is too sluggish in all but the isopycnal model, where it is too rapid.

For dense plasmas it contains the law ∼p−8 as a quantum correction to the classical Maxwellian distribution function at large momenta. The integral equation for the width of the spectral distribution of kinetic Green functions is analyzed. The asymptotic behavior of the quantum corrections to the distribution function of particles is expressed via the Fourier transform of the wave function in the external potential. It is shown that the asymptotic power law for the distribution function over momentum is also correct for a non-equilibrium at the external electrical and laser fields.

The low temperature specific heat in both CeIrIn5 and CeCoIn5 includes T2 terms, consistent with the presence of nodes in the superconducting energy gap, indicating spin-singlet pairing. The thermal conductivity data present a T-linear term consistent with the universal limit (CeIrIn5) and a low temperature T3 variation in the clean limit (CeCoIn5), also in accord with predictions for an unconventional superconductor with lines of nodes. An NMR study of CeCoIn5 reveals suppressed spin susceptibility in the superconducting state, and the low temperature Hc2 in CeCoIn5 is Pauli limited, both indicating spin-singlet pairing. Taken together, our measurements point to d-wave superconductivity in this family of compounds.

However at larger g a pseudogap, Δpg is present at Tc which dramatically changes the behavior of the inferred coherence length ξ, relative to that of BCS theory. Similarly, the quadratic terms in a Ginzburg–Landau description, are modified by Δpg≠0. These pseudogap effects, in accord with experiment, are responsible for the fact that (i) ξ is weakly x-dependent (ii) and Tc is more strongly H dependent than is T*. Very near the superconductor–insulator transition ξ is predicted to quickly increase.

The magnetic phase diagram of the LTT phase resembles the generic phase diagram of the cuprates where superconductivity is replaced by a second antiferromagnetic phase. A crossover from magnetic order to superconductivity is observed at a charge doping of x=0.2. Changing the degree of the LTT lattice distortion via a variation of the Eu content the ground state at x=0.2 can be tuned from magnetism to superconductivity.

Our experimental technique measures the complex conductivity σre(ω)+iσim(ω) permitting the simultaneous observation of superconducting pair and quasiparticle dynamics. We emphasize aspects of the conductivity dynamics which extend our previous results (Phys. Rev. B 63 (2001) 140502(R)). In particular, the recovery of σre is faster than σim, and the recovery of σim decreases with increasing frequency. This suggests another carrier relaxation pathway, in addition to superconducting pair recovery, following optical excitation.

The temperature T- and the pressure P-dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 of 115In in CeTIn5 indicated that the superconductivity occurred close to an antiferromagnetic instability. In the superconducting state, 1/T1 has no Hebel–Slichter coherence peak just below TC and a power-law T-dependence (1/T1∼T3) at very low temperatures, which indicates the existence of line nodes in the superconducting energy gap. The 115In (Ce–In plane) Knight shift in CeCoIn5 decreases for both parallel and perpendicular directions to the tetragonal c-axis below TC, which shows that the spin susceptibility decreases in all directions. These results indicate that CeTIn5 (T=Co, Rh and Ir) exhibit non-s-wave even parity (probably d-wave) superconductivity.

CeRh1−xIrxIn5 displays superconductivity(SC) (Tc≲1 K) over a wide range of composition, which develops out of and coexists (0.30≲x≲0.5) with a magnetically ordered state, with TN∼4 K. For CeCo1−xRhxIn5, the superconducting state (Tc∼2.3 K for x=0) becomes a magnetic state (TN∼4 K, for x=1) with two phase transitions observed for 0.40≲x≲0.25. CeCo1−xIrxIn5 also shows two transitions for 0.30≲x≲0.75. For those alloys in which SC is found, a roughly linear relationship between Tc and the lattice parameter ratio c/a, was found, with composition as the implicit parameter. The interplay between magnetism and SC for CeRh1−x(Ir,Co)xIn5 and the possibility of two distinct superconducting states in CeCo1−xIrxIn5 are discussed.

T1 - Heat capacity of the heavy fermion superconductor CeIrIn5 under hydrostatic pressure JO - Physica B JF - Physica B Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 312-313 M3 - Article SP - 136 SN - 09214526 AB - CeIrIn5 belongs to a new class of heavy fermion (HF) superconductors that crystallize in the tetragonal HoCoGa5-structure. This structure can be regarded as alternating layers of CeIn3 and IrIn2. Bulk CeIn3 undergoes a transition from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state at ambient pressure (TN=10 K) to a superconducting state (Tc=0.15 K) at a critical pressure pc=2.8 GPa at which long range magnetic order vanishes. It is, therefore, regarded as a possible candidate for magnetically mediated superconductivity (SC). We report on measurements of the heat capacity of CeIrIn5 at hydrostatic pressure p⩽1.6 GPa. With increasing pressure, Tc increases almost linearly up to the maximum pressure applied, while the effective mass of the quasiparticles meff decreases as indicated by the ratio C/T (T=1 K). This may be interpreted as the stabilization of the superconducting state by the increase of the characteristic spin-fluctuation temperature TSF (TSF∝kF2/meff).

We report on measurements of the heat capacity of CeCoIn5 at hydrostatic pressures p⩽1.5 GPa. In this compound, Tc increases with increasing pressure, while the effective mass of the quasi-particles meff decreases, as indicated by the ratio C/T (T⩾Tc). As a working hypothesis, this may be interpreted as the stabilization of the superconducting state by an increase of the characteristic spin fluctuation temperature TSF (TSF∝kF2/meff). Interestingly, in CeCoIn5 the ratio ΔC/γTc≈5 is extremely large but starts to decrease rapidly with increasing p at p≳0.8 GPa where Tc(p) approaches a maximum.

In the frequency range from 20 to 200 MHz, both the attenuation and velocity of sound change markedly in the vicinity of the metamagnetic transitions (near 40 T). The data for URu2Si2 show three transitions, in agreement with earlier magnetization results of other authors. A unique fast data-acquisition ultrasonic spectrometer was assembled and utilized for these studies.

With small Co doping the antiferromagnetic state is stabilized at low temperature, together with a rhombohedral distortion. We show by the azimuthal dependence of the scattered X-ray intensity at the L3 edge of Ce that the Ce moments appear to lie parallel to the rhombohedral axis of distortion of the single domain probed. This result would be in disagreement with the accepted collinear spin arrangement from neutron-diffraction experiments. As a result, we re-analyze the neutron data to show that a possible model consistent with both experimental results involves a non-collinear arrangement of Fe spins. Introducing the dynamical aspect of this concept into the physics of CeFe2 may allow one to understand how the frustration of the Fe tetrahedra leads to the appearance of antiferromagnetic fluctuations in the presence of ferromagnetism.

At finite transverse magnetic fields, a gap Δ(B) is induced in the low-energy magnetic excitation spectrum. Our C(T,B) measurements reveal a Δ(B)∼B2/3 dependence for B⩽9 T, in accordance with predictions of the quantum sine-Gordon model. At higher fields the Δ(B) curve levels-off gradually. In the isothermal magnetization taken at 0.6 K no saturation occurs up to 60 T. We also present new results on spin-glass behavior below 0.15 K caused by a weak ferromagnetic interchain coupling and disorder. Finally, we concentrate on the electrical transport properties. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, arising from a low-density system of mobile As-4p holes, are recorded in magnetic fields up to 60 T. We estimate the effective mass and the mean-free path of these carriers and discuss spin-splitting effects.

Both the susceptibility and the linear specific heat coefficient exhibit low temperature peaks that imply that in addition to the Kondo scale (TK≈ 500 K) there is a second low temperature scale (Tcoh≈ 50 K) for the onset of coherence. We discuss these results in the context of the Anderson lattice in the limit of low conduction electron density.

Its valence phase-transition temperature TV decreases linearly at a rate of −2.0 K/GPa with increasing pressure to 1.0 GPa, as found previously. Above 1.0 GPA, however, TV decreases more gradually and is depressed to below 1.5 K at 2.5 GPa. Experimental results suggest that the hybridization between 4f- and conduction-band electrons is reduced with increasing pressure and that the semi-metallic state (T>TV) is favored over the metallic state (T) at high pressures.

It is believed that the valence transition is driven by band structure effects that help quench Yb localized moments via a Kondo mechanism. The known phase diagram indicates that the transition can be suppressed with external magnetic fields. We used an adiabatic calorimeter to measure the specific heat in the high-field phase of the material. Data obtained in magnetic fields up to 50 T show an enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient and anomalies in the specific heat that are compatible with a much depressed Kondo temperature. Our data indicate quite different energy scales in the low-field and high-field phases of YbInCu4.

This paper will report on the temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient and the magnetoresistance in the longitudinal and transverse configurations (B∥I and B⊥I, respectively). The derivative of the Hall coefficient changes sign at around 50 K, below which the magnetic susceptibility starts to increase and the specific-heat coefficient shows a rapid drop. The magnetoresistance data reveal a different field dependence below and above 50 K: at T>50 K, the magnetoresistance varies with the square of magnetic field but changes to a different power-law behavior at lower temperature. We suggest that in YbAl3 there is a low-temperature scale for the onset of coherence at T*=50 K.

LSDA+U calculations produce the energy band structure in TmS and TmSe, with twelve 4f bands fully occupied and hybridized with chalcogenide p states. The 14th f hole level was found to be completely unoccupied and well above the Fermi level and a hole 13th f level is partly occupied and pinned at the Fermi level. Such an energy band structure of thulium monochalcogenides describes well their measured BIS, XPS and UPS spectra as well as the optical and MO spectra.

In order to better compare to the UCu5−xPdx phase diagram, we report results from Pd K edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) experiments on this series (x=0.3–1.5) that determine the fraction of Pd atoms on the nominally Cu (16e) sites, s. We find that for these unannealed samples, s is at least 17% for all the samples measured, even for x<1.0, although it does climb monotonically beyond its minimum at x=0.7. These data are compared to changes in the lattice parameter as a function of x.

In UCu4Pd the scaling exponent γ is small and temperature independent. In UCu3.5Pd1.5 γ varies with temperature, increasing with decreasing temperature similar to spin-glass AgMn. This suggests that the spin-glass state found for x≳2 in UCu5−xPdx modifies the low-frequency spin dynamics in UCu3.5Pd1.5.

The structure of such a charge excitation is studied in detail with numerical and analytical results for various quantities being in a very close agreement. An analytical picture of these excitations occupying an effective 1D stripe band is also in a very good accord with numerical data. The emerging concept advocates the primary role of the kinetic energy in favoring the stripe as a ground state. A comparative analysis suggests the effect of pairing and collective meandering on the energetics of the stripe formation to be secondary.

For the manganites, 1.5 eV pump and either optical or terahertz probe reveals a dynamic spectral weight transfer that, as a function of temperature, allows us to determine the spin–lattice relaxation time. For YbXCu4, pump–probe measurements at 1.5 eV are shown to be sensitive to the onset of coherence. These results are discussed in terms of a simple hybridization gap model for the f and s electrons.

The angle-resolved photoemission spectra display a sharp peak at EF which shows a remarkable intensity variation as a function of momentum, suggesting an energy dispersion of the Kondo resonance state above EF. On increasing temperature, the peak intensity is rapidly suppressed, while it persists up to a temperature much higher than the Kondo temperature.

The in-plane correlations obey standard two-dimensional scaling above TC∼113 K with a crossover towards three-dimensional critical behavior close to TC, consistent with quasi two-dimensional critical fluctuations. This suggests that conventional magnetism drives the phase transition while simultaneously destroying the charge correlations observed in the paramagnetic region.

Previous transport and magnetic measurements revealed metamagnetic transitions for magnetic fields applied along the b- (17 and 25 T) or c-axis (4 and 10 T). These metamagnetic transitions are accompanied by sharp changes in the magnetoresistance. For the present work, we have performed RF skin depth measurements of UNiGe in applied magnetic fields up to 50 T. This technique is relatively new, as applied to metallic samples but is a useful probe of magnetotransport since the skin depth can be simply related to the magnetoresistance.

The helmet-like SIS is hemispherical in shape with a brim. Conceptually, the SIS images nearby sources onto the SQUIDs while shielding sensors from distant “noise” sources. A finite element method (FEM) description using the as-built geometry was developed to describe the SIS effect on source fields by imposing B⊥(surface)=0. Sensors consist of 8×8 mm2 SQUID magnetometers with 0.84 nT/Φ0 sensitivity and <3 fT/√ of Hz noise. A series of phantom experiments to verify system efficacy have been completed. Simple dry-wire phantoms were used to eliminate model dependence from our results. Phantom coils were distributed throughout the volume encompassed by the array with a variety of orientations. Each phantom coil was precisely machined and located to better than 25 μm and 10 mRad accuracy. Excellent agreement between model-calculated and measured magnetic field distributions of all phantom coil positions and orientations was found. Good agreement was found between modeled and measured shielding of the SQUIDs from sources external to the array showing significant frequency-independent shielding. Phantom localization precision was better than 0.5 mm at all locations with a mean of better than 0.3 mm.

A SQUID-based picovoltmeter at 4–5 K was used to read out the signal from the SQUID being investigated at the lower temperature. This method reduces noise contributions from cables and electronics. The data were taken in support of a physics experiment which will use SQUIDs to measure the precession frequency of spin polarized 3He, acting as a comagnetometer with spin polarized ultra-cold neutrons (UCN). The aim of the experiment is to measure the neutron electric dipole moment to 4×10−28e cm. A high signal-to-noise for the SQUID-based precession frequency measurement is needed to attain this goal. The 3He and UCN will be in a bath at temperatures <0.5 K. The noise performance of the SQUIDs at these temperatures must be well understood before the experiment. The noise performance of the picovoltmeter system was also compared to that of a conventionally operated SQUID at the same temperature and location on the test probe. The results of the noise studies as a function of temperature are presented.

These are then used to obtain a detailed simulated model of segregated InAs/GaSb superlattices with atomic resolution. The application of the pseudopotential calculations to such structures reveals remarkable electronic consequences of segregation, including a blue shift of band gap with increasing sample growth temperature.

The effective mass was obtained by fitting experimentally measured optical transitions energies with calculated ones using a parabolic band model. In this work we arrive at different conclusions. First, we prove experimentally that the parabolic band approximation is insufficient for the case of InGaAsN and GaAsN alloys. Then we show that by taking into account the strong nonparabolicity of the conduction band, we obtain an effective mass in GaAsN/GaAs quantum wells increasing from 0.095m0 to 0.115m0 for a nitrogen content varying from 1% to 3%.

Responses were evaluated in relation to one another, and to seasonal patterns and natural environmental stresses, including high temperatures, vapour pressure deficits (VPD ), and drought. Photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (A ) averaged 46% higher in the +200 µ mol mol-1 CO2 treatment, in mid- and upper canopy foliage. Stomatal conductance (g s ) averaged 14% (mid-canopy) and 24% (upper canopy) lower under CO2 enrichment. Variations in the relative responses of A and g s were linked, such that greater relative stimulation of A was observed on dates when relative reductions in g s were slight. Dry soils and high VPD reduced g s and A in both treatments, and tended to diminish treatment differences. The absolute effects of CO2 on A and g s were minimized whenever gs was low (<0·15 mol m-2 s-1 ), but relative effects, as the ratio of elevated to ambient rates, varied greatly under those conditions. Both stomatal and non-stomatal limitations of A were involved during late season droughts. Leaf temperature had a limited influence on A and g s , and there was no detectable relationship between prevailing temperature and CO2 effects on A or g s . The responsiveness of A and g s to elevated CO2 , both absolute and relative, was maintained through time and within the canopy of this forest stand, subject to seasonal constraints and variability associated with limiting air and soil moisture.

In the present study, quantitative changes in physical, chemical, and microbial properties of poultry litter (a mixture of poultry manure, wood shavings, waste feed, and feathers) were studied in order to understand the composting process and evaluate the suitability of the composted product as a soil amendment. The poultry litter was composted in forced-aeration piles. Results of this study showed that the poultry litter went through physico-chemical and microbial changes similar to other composting systems, including changes like self-heating of the compost mass, relative increases in total Cu, Zn, P, K, and NOx−-N and decreases in microbial population numbers, C, OM, and extractable C, Cu, Zn, and NH4+-N contents. Despite differences in thermophilic temperatures at different locations of the forced-aeration piles, temperatures in these locations reached ambient level almost at the same time by day 128, indicating that the poultry litter was becoming stable. Nitrogen loss was a major problem during composting of poultry litter, even when the piles were not turned under the forced-aeration system. About 18 kg of the initial N (58% of the initial N) was lost during composting, which indicates that composting reduced the value of the poultry litter as N fertilizer. However, the composted litter contained a more humified (stabilized) OM compared with the uncomposted litter, which could enhance its value as a soil conditioner. In conclusion, composting of poultry litter converted the soluble nutrients to more stable organic forms, thereby reducing their bioavailability and susceptibility to loss when applied to crop fields.

In recent years in North America, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) have been formed involving collaboration amongst materials suppliers, accelerator manufacturers and service providers, national laboratories, such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and interested potential users. The scope and status of these CRADAs are reviewed along with other recent developments in the electron beam curing of composites in North America. Innovative and proprietary materials technology has been developed and progress made toward implementing commercial practice. Significant market interest has developed in the military/aerospace industries that are finding the process and performance of electron beam cured composites to offer significant benefits.

This present study describes testing results of a newer version of the dosimeter (Model γ, batch 0399-20). This dosimeter is a 1-cm×3-cm polymeric film of 0.5 mm thickness that emits a green fluorescence component at intensities almost linear with dose. The manufacturing method (injection molding) allows potential batch sizes on the order of a million while maintaining a signal precision on the order of ±1%. Studies include dose response, dose rate dependence, energy dependence, post-irradiation stability, environmental effects, and variation of response within a batch. Data for both food irradiation and sterilization dose levels were obtained. The results indicate that the green signal (0.3–250 kGy) works well for food irradiation dose levels, especially in refrigerated facilities that maintain tight temperature control. The green signal also works well in sterilization facilities because its irradiation temperature coefficient above room temperature is minimal at sterilization doses. If the user requires readout results in < 22 h after room temperature irradiation, the user can either calibrate for a specific post-irradiation readout time(s) or simply heat the dosimeters in a small laboratory oven to quickly stabilize the signal.

A comprehensive, new view of the general phases of modeling and simulation is proposed, consisting of the following phases: conceptual modeling of the physical system, mathematical modeling of the conceptual model, discretization and algorithm selection for the mathematical model, computer programming of the discrete model, numerical solution of the computer program model, and representation of the numerical solution. Our view incorporates the modeling and simulation phases that are recognized in the systems engineering and operations research communities, but it adds phases that are specific to the numerical solution of PDEs. In each of these phases, general sources of uncertainty, both aleatory and epistemic, and error are identified. Our general framework is applicable to any numerical discretization procedure for solving ODEs or PDEs. To demonstrate this framework, we describe a system-level example: the flight of an unguided, rocket-boosted, aircraft-launched missile. This example is discussed in detail at each of the six phases of modeling and simulation. Two alternative models of the flight dynamics are considered, along with aleatory uncertainty of the initial mass of the missile and epistemic uncertainty in the thrust of the rocket motor. We also investigate the interaction of modeling uncertainties and numerical integration error in the solution of the ordinary differential equations for the flight dynamics.

The combination of two different types of dry separation techniques—ultrasonic sieving and triboelectrostatic separation—were used for this study. The results indicate that a simple separation of unburned carbon from fly ash is achievable at particle sizes of 149, 74 and 44 μm, and screening could be utilized as the rough separation mechanism for fly ash. Subsequently, triboelectrostatic separations were conducted on these different particle size fractions of the fly ash and indicated that the final carbon content in the products, as low as 2.5% or as high as 60%, can be further adjusted with the combination of dry sieving and triboelectrostatic separation.

In current distribution systems for liquid fuels used in the transportation sector, commodity methanol can occasionally become contaminated with the sulfur in diesel fuel or gasoline. This sulfur would poison the catalytic materials used in fuel reformers for fuel cells. We tested the removal of this sulfur by means of ten activated carbons (AC) that are commercially available. Tests were conducted with methanol doped with 1 vol.% grade D-2 diesel fuel containing 0.29% sulfur, which was present essentially as 33–35 wt.% benzothiophenes (BTs) and 65–67 wt.% dibenzothiophenes (DBT). In general, coconut shell-based carbons activated by high-temperature steam were more effective at sulfur removal than coal-based carbons. Equilibrium sorption data showed linear increase in sulfur capture with the increase of sulfur concentration in methanol. Both types of carbons had similar breakthrough characteristics, with the dynamic sorption capacity of each being about one-third of its equilibrium sorption capacity. Results of this study suggest that a fixed-bed sorber of granular AC can be used, such as in refueling stations, for the removal of sulfur in diesel fuel-contaminated methanol.

As a result, this paper seeks to precipitate an objective dialog between material scientists and building-application scientists to determine whether actual large-area electrochromic devices will result in significant performance benefits and what material improvements are needed, if any, to make electrochromics more practical for commercial building applications.Few in situ tests have been conducted with large-area electrochromic windows applied in buildings. This study presents monitored results from a full-scale field test of large-area electrochromic windows to illustrate how this technology will perform in commercial buildings. The visible transmittance (Tv) of the installed electrochromic ranged from 0.11 to 0.38. The data are limited to the winter period for a south-east-facing window. The effect of actual device performance on lighting energy use, direct sun control, discomfort glare, and interior illumination is discussed. No mechanical system loads were monitored. These data demonstrate the use of electrochromics in a moderate climate and focus on the most restrictive visual task: computer use in offices.Through this small demonstration, we were able to determine that electrochromic windows can indeed provide unmitigated transparent views and a level of dynamic illumination control never before seen in architectural glazing materials. Daily lighting energy use was 6–24% less compared to the 11%-glazing, with improved interior brightness levels. Daily lighting energy use was 3% less to 13% more compared to the 38%-glazing, with improved window brightness control. The electrochromic window may not be able to fulfill both energy-efficiency and visual comfort objectives when low winter direct sun is present, particularly for computer tasks using cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays. However, window and architectural design as well as electrochromic control options are suggested as methods to broaden the applicability of electrochromics for commercial buildings. Without further modification, its applicability is expected to be limited during cold winter periods due to its slow switching speed.

The Raman spectra of as-deposited films show two strong peaks at 828 and 951 cm−1 due to vibrations of the O&z.sbnd;Mo6+&z.sbnd;O and Mo6+&z.dbnd6;O bonds, respectively. A shoulder on the right side of the Raman peak at 951 cm−1 is observed, and we attribute it to the Mo6+&z.dbnd6;O bonds which originate from the singly coordinated oxygen atoms in α phase layered MoO3. When lithium (or hydrogen) ions and electrons are intercalated into a-MoO3, the overall Raman intensity decreases due to electrochromic coloration and an extra Raman peak due to the bonds between Mo5+ and oxygen atoms appears at ∼400 cm−1. In addition, the force constant for the O&z.sbnd;Mo6+&z.sbnd;O bonds increases due to the compressive stress induced by lithium (or hydrogen) ion insertion. We conclude the Mo5+ states are generated as a result of the reduction of the Mo6+ states with ion/electron insertion and the optical absorption in the colored state is caused by transitions between the Mo6+ and Mo5+.

A remarkable difference in activity is observed between alkaline and acid solutions. In alkaline solution the oxidation of CO occurs at low overpotential (<0.2 V) by the surface reaction between the adsorbed CO and OH, the latter forming selectively in the hydrogen underpotential potential region at defect sites. In acid solution these sites are blocked by specific adsorption of anions, and consequently in a solution containing Br the ignition potential is shifted positively by 0.6 V. Anions of supporting electrolytes also have dramatic effects on both the potential range of stability and the domain size of the p(2×2)-3CO structure which is formed at 0.05 V. The stability/domain size of this structure increases from KOH (30 A˚ between 0.05), to HClO4 (140 A˚ between 0.05) to HClO4+Br− (350 A˚ between 0.05 V). The larger the ordered domains of the p(2×2)-COad structure, the less active the surface is towards CO oxidation.

The microstructure and morphology are important characteristics that have a large influence on the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of the sensor. We have produced tungsten trioxide thin films 15–600 nm thick by reactive r.f. magnetron sputtering onto r-cut sapphire substrates. The microstructure of the films was characterized by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Films with local epitaxy or randomly oriented textures were produced by controlling the substrate deposition temperature and by post-deposition annealing treatments. All films were found to be dense with low porosity. Grain boundaries were identified in the films with randomly oriented texture and these films were composed of either the monoclinic or orthorhombic crystallographic phase. No grain boundaries were found for the locally epitaxial films. These films were discontinuous during early growth, exhibited evidence of crystallographic shear planes, and had a cubic crystallographic phase.

The analytical solution is obtained using the traditional Warren-Root solution superposed on a dimensionless non-Darcy flow coefficient. The model formulation incorporates the Forchheimer equation into the Warren-Root model for describing non-Darcy flow through fractured media. The approximate analytical solution, verified for its accuracy by comparison with numerical solutions, provides a useful tool in analyzing non-Darcy flow in fractured reservoirs for practical applications.

We use this model to evaluate repository performance for different designs with respect to major thermal design goals (e.g., keeping waste packages dry). A locally boiling or globally boiling design uses rock dry out to create dry (low relative humidity (RH)) conditions around waste packages for a long period of time. A subboiling design eliminates boiling in the host rock (possibly reducing uncertainty) but is less effective at maintaining dry conditions. The addition of backfill increases the duration of RH reduction significantly without added boiling in the host rock but at the cost of higher waste package temperatures. The interaction between engineering design variables and natural system factors that affect thermohydrologic behavior is highly nonlinear. As a consequence, designs that differ by seemingly small details can result in markedly different thermohydrologic behavior and consequently repository performance, whereas with regards to other details, large differences may have little or no effect.

SN - 00496979 AB - The atmospheric emission of mercury (Hg) from a contaminated wetlands system was studied in the floodplains along the river Elbe (Northern Germany). Results suggest that wetlands can be important transformation and phase transfer regions, linking the terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric compartments of regional biogeochemical Hg cycles. Fluxes determined by flux chamber measurements averaged 43 ± 5 ng m-2 h-1. Additionally, soil gas probe sampling was introduced to determine mercury concentrations in soil air. This technique shows some promise for detecting and confining mercury contamination in soils. We also propose that measurements of total gaseous mercury (TGM) in soil air and the near-surface atmosphere, in combination with simple soil physical parameters, may be suitable for calculating semiquantitative estimates of Hg evaporation from contaminated soils, based on laminar diffusion considerations. The results are compared to other Hg flux measurements, and the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to quantify Hg emissions from soils are discussed, especially with regard to possible systematic bias.

These nanoparticle dispersions are composed mainly of coupler and surfactant hydrocarbon chains, which were shown to be intimately mixed as in a liquid. The particle sizes were determined to be in the range 50–250 A˚ in radius for ten couplers investigated with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. Selected couplers were studied with two other surfactants. The amount of surfactant associated with coupler in the particles varied with coupler structure and ranged from 50 to 80%. Studies were also performed at higher concentrations where interparticle interactions were observed as manifested by a peak, as opposed to a monotonic fall off in the scattering, as in dilute solutions. For these data, the interparticle scattering function, S(Q), was calculated using the mean spherical approximation, MSA which was used to extract the aggregation number, surface charge, and inner and outer radii of the particle, which define the particle ‘shell’, consisting of surfactant headgroups, counterions and water of hydration.

Competing states originating from three different minima associated with nearly spherical, oblate, and prolate deformations were found. This result can be contrasted with the situation in heavier odd-mass Hg isotopes where only two minima (oblate and prolate) have been seen. The implications of these three shapes at low spin and excitation energy are discussed in the general context of shape coexistence in this mass region.

The challenge is quite clear: to use the unique environment of a surface or interface to do fascinating physics, while taking full advantage of the skills the community has developed over the last 30 years. The opportunities appear to be endless! In this age of Nanotechnology where the promise is to shape the world atom by atom, leading to the next industrial revolution [Nanotechnology: shaping the world atom by atom, National Science and Technology Council, Committee on Technology, 1999], surface science should be at the very forefront of both technological and scientific advances. The smaller objects become, the more important their surfaces become. In this article we focus on the role of a surface physicist in the emergence of nanoscale collective phenomena in complex materials.

Once wary, theorists are now eager to enter the field. The present article attempts to take a snapshot of where the field has been, with an eye to the more speculative issue of where it is going. Selective examples are used to highlight three general areas of interest: (i) characterization techniques, (ii) materials properties, and (iii) theoretical/simulational advances. Emerging directions are identified and discussed, including laterally confined nanomagnetism and spintronics.

In particular, the emerging concept of spintronics, which is based on fact that current carriers have not only charge but also spin, requires the assembling of nanometer-sized magnetic structures with desired magnetic properties. It is this background that motivates scientists and engineers to attempt to grow and characterize magnetic objects at smaller and smaller length scales, from 2D films and multilayers to 1D wires and eventually to 0D dots. In this article, some of the most significant progress in recent years in the effort of growing artificially structured magnetic materials are reviewed. The new structural and magnetic properties of these materials are discussed, with an emphasis on the correlation between structure and magnetism, which also serves as guidance for improving their magnetic properties. The emerging emphasis is on converting the existing knowledge into growing and studying low-dimensional complex materials, which promise to have considerably higher “tuning” ability for desired properties.

From the fundamental point of view, the interest in surface diffusion and, at the same time, the difficulties in its understanding, stem primarily from the collective (many-body) nature of this phenomenon. On the practical side, the importance of the knowledge of the physics behind surface diffusion is becoming increasingly crucial in the coming era of nanotechnology, which will bring an unprecedented level of miniaturization in electronics and a broad employment of various nanomaterials.

Many sulfur compounds have been tried in the past without great success. In this paper, we report the use of spray coating molybdenum disulfide onto a thin carbon backing. The targets were of thickness 750 μg/cm2 (∼300 μg/cm2 of sulfur) on 15 μg/cm2 carbon backings, and withstood 4 pnA (∼10 mW/cm2) of deposited beam power for several days without apparent loss of sulfur content.

This resulted in expanding applications of these DLC foils which necessitated further development efforts directed toward the following applications of DLC targetry: (i) thin stripper foils for lower energy tandem accelerators, (ii) enlarged (up to 66 mm in diameter) stop foils for improved time-of-flight elastic recoil detection ion beam analysis, and (iii) ultra-thin (about 0.6 μg/cm2) DLC foils for some fundamental and applied physics experiments. Along with the fabrication of thin DLC stripper foils for tandem accelerators, much thicker (up to 200 μg/cm2) foils for post-stripping of heavy-ion beams in higher energy linacs, are within reach.

The effective cutoff scale is determined by the inverse of the saturation scale. We concentrate on two most important cases: the small-x tail of a gluon distribution of a high-energy hadron or a large nucleus and the central rapidity region in a high-energy hadronic or heavy-ion collision. In the saturation regime the gluon density in a single large ultrarelativistic nucleus is high and gluonic fields are given by the classical solutions of the equations of motion. We show that these strong classical fields do not affect the density of instantons in the nuclear wave function compared to the instanton density in the vacuum. A classical solution with nontrivial topological charge is found for the gluon field of a single nucleus at the lowest order in the instanton perturbation theory. In the case of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions a strong classical gluonic field is produced in the central rapidity region. We demonstrate that this field introduces a suppression factor of exp{−cρ4Qs4/[8αs2Nc(Qsτ)2]} in the instanton-size distribution, where Qs is the saturation scale of both (identical) nuclei, τ is the proper time and c≈1 is the gluon liberation coefficient. This factor suggests that gluonic saturation effects at the early stages of nuclear collisions regulate the instanton-size distribution in the infrared region and make the instanton density finite by suppressing large-size instantons.

Geometry optimizations produced canted η2-dihydrogen dihydride local minima of C1 symmetry; with HH distances for the C1 minimum energy structure of 0.842 and 0.898 A˚ and barriers to rotation of 0.34 and 0.50 kcal mol−1, respectively for B3LYP/BS1 and BP86/BS1 calculations of Tp3,5-MeRhH2(H2). The latter results from one transition state rotated approximately 60° away (a second lower energy transition state which is a few hundreds of a kcal mol−1 above the C1 MIN is rotated approximately 30° away). With these calculated d(HH) values for the C1 MIN the previously reported experimental data on the rotation of the dihydrogen ligand yields an experimental barrier to rotation of ∼1 kcal mol−1 and places the torsional transition at 200 cm−1 in the INS spectrum. Optimization of the Rh structure, that is analogous to the related Ir(V) Cs minimum found for TpIrH4, generates a high-energy (>4 cal mol−1) Cs transition state TpRhIIIH4 structure with an η3-H3 − ligand. This transition state (Cs TSE) exchanges the hydrogen in the mirror plane between two chiral C1 MIN structures. Comparisons between observed and computed INS spectra suggests that the experimental INS spectrum be viewed as resulting from a quantum-averaged ground state encompassing at least two of the low energy structures found in our calculations.

The apparent activation energy (determined from Arrhenius plots of creep rate against inverse temperature) can easily be 10–20% lower than the true activation energy, depending on the stress. The apparent stress exponent (determined from the strain rate dependence of the stress or the stress dependence of the creep rate) is shown to be strongly dependent on stress, and therefore on temperature, and can decrease from values greater than 10 at low temperatures to unity at high temperatures, even though a single mechanism is controlling. Reasonable agreement has been found between the experimental and theoretical values of the stress exponent for yielding in single crystals of sapphire, spinel, Ni3Al and NiAl, except that the calculated high temperature values tend to be somewhat lower than the observed values. The analysis should apply to yielding in many ceramics and intermetallics in single crystal form (or large grain polycrystals) where the double kink mechanism is rate-controlling.

The excitation energy of the isomer is established to be 2.16 MeV with a half-life of 7.3±1.5 μs. The isomer decays into the yrast line at the 8+ state, revealing a rotational band with a deduced deformation of β2=0.24(3). The isotope 140Dy is the daughter of the deformed proton emitter 141Ho. The new information obtained here supports the role of deformation in proton emission and the previous assignments of single-particle configurations to the two proton emitting states in 141Ho. In addition, the reduced hindrance factor measured for the isomer is consistent with the trend observed in the N=74 isotones.

This hypothesis leads to interesting relations between decay amplitudes. The assumption of SU(3) symmetry leads to additional relations between the decay amplitudes and in particular, the eight CP eigenstates J/ψKS, J/ψη, J/ψη′ and J/ψπ0 are all given in terms of three parameters. If agreement with experiment validates these assumptions the parameters over determined by the results will give information about the ratio of penguin to tree contributions to the “golden channel” B0→J/ψKS decay and will provide tests for the standard ηη′ mixing, which assumes that this mixing is determined by a single mixing angle, as well as determine the value of the mixing angle. We also present tests of the standard ηη′ mixing involving semileptonic D decays.

All the characteristics of this assembly are very accurately known; dimensions to ± 0.0001 in, masses to ± 0.01 g, isotopics, impurities, etc. Two spheres were assembled. The first was above delayed criticality and the second, after machining of the first, was slightly below delayed criticality. A variety of reactivity effects such as the influence of support structure, imperfections in the sphere, etc. were evaluated experimentally, where practical. The very accurate description of this sphere, as assembled, establishes it as an ideal benchmark for calculational methods and cross-section data files. In this regard, the accurate specification of one of these spheres for a Monte Carlo code input is included as an Appendix. In order to provide data for verification of one-dimensional, transport-theory calculations, these two spherical uranium metal assemblies were corrected to idealized spherical geometries. Either all imperfections in the sphere were evaluated experimentally or corrections were made based on previous measurements with GODIVA I at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The experimental configurations first were corrected to idealized spheres of pure uranium metal of the density and enrichment of these measurements. In order to compare the results of these experiments to the earlier idealized delayed critical sphere obtained from the GODIVA I experiments, these spheres were also corrected to an enrichment of 93.80 wt.% 235U and density of 18.750 g U/cm3 with no impurities. The estimates of the purely spherical critical masses of 93.20-wt.%-enriched uranium were 52,911±66 g (ρ=18.765 g U/cm3) from the slightly supercritical configuration, and 52,956±64 g (ρ=18.754 g U/cm3) from the slightly subcritical configuration. Correction to a pure uranium sphere of enrichment of 93.80 wt.% 235U and density of 18.750 g U/cm3 with no impurities yielded a critical mass of 52.42±0.07 kg which is in agreement with the value from the GODIVA I experiments, which is 52.30 ± 0.16 kg. The uncertainty in the pure uranium sphere mass from the Oak Ridge experiments is considerably less than that from the GODIVA I experiments because the Oak Ridge spheres were more spherical with less structural material in close proximity to the sphere.

During the plasma treatment NO is oxidized to NO2 and propylene is partially oxidized to CO, CO2, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde. With plasma treatment, NO as the NOx gas, and a NaY catalyst, the maximum NOx conversion was 70% between 180 and 230 °C. The activity decreased at higher and lower temperatures.As high as 80% NOx removal over gamma alumina was measured by a chemiluminescent NOx meter with plasma treatment and NO as the NOx gas.For both catalysts a simultaneous decrease in NOx and aldehydes concentrations was observed, which suggests that aldehyde may be important components for NOx reduction in plasma-treated exhaust.

Pueblo residents and Los Alamos scientists are concerned about radiological doses resulting from uptake of Area G radionuclides by mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus), then consumption of deer and elk meat by humans. Tissue samples were collected from deer and elk accidentally killed near Area G and were analyzed for 3H, 90Sr, total U, 238Pu, 239, 240Pu, 241Am, and 137Cs. These data were used to estimate human doses based on meat consumption of 23 kg y-1. Human doses were also modeled using RESRAD, and dose rates to deer and elk were estimated with a screening model. Dose estimates to humans from tissue consumption were 2.9 × 10-3 mSv y-1 and 1.6 × 10-3 mSv y-1 from deer and elk, respectively, and RESRAD dose estimates were of the same order of magnitude. Estimated dose rates to deer and elk were 2.1 × 10-4 mGy d-1 and 4.7 × 10-4 mGy d-1, respectively. All estimated doses were significantly less than established exposure limits or guidelines.

The NMR data suggest that changes in surface speciation are driven by solution pH and to a lesser extent alkali concentrations, and not by reaction time or saturation state. The 29Si cross-polarization NMR results show that the concentration of silanol surface complexes decreases with increasing pH, suggesting that silanol sites polymerize to form siloxane bonds with increasing pH. Increases in silica surface charge are offset by sorption of alkali cations to ionized sites with increasing pH. It is the increase in these ionized sites that appears to control silica polymorph dissolution rates as a function of pH. The 23Na and 133Cs NMR results show that the alkali cations form outersphere surface complexes and that the concentration of these complexes increases with increasing pH. Changes in surface chemistry cannot explain decreases in dissolution rates as amorphous silica saturation is approached. We find no evidence for repolymerization of the silanol surface complexes to siloxane complexes at longer reaction times and constant pH.

T1 - Direct polymerization of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) random (statistical) copolymers: candidates for new proton exchange membranes JO - Journal of Membrane Science JF - Journal of Membrane Science Y1 - 2002/03/15/ VL - 197 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 231 SN - 03767388 AB - Novel biphenol-based wholly aromatic poly(arylene ether sulfone)s containing up to two pendant sulfonate groups per repeat unit were prepared by potassium carbonate mediated direct aromatic nucleophilic substitution polycondensation of disodium 3,3′-disulfonate-4,4′-dichlorodiphenylsulfone (SDCDPS), 4,4′-dichlorodiphenylsulfone (DCDPS) and 4,4′-biphenol. Copolymerization proceeded quantitatively to high molecular weight in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at 190 °C. Tough membranes with a SDCDPS/DCDPS mole ratio up to 60:40 were successfully cast using N,N-dimethylactamide. An increase of sulfonate groups in the copolymer resulted in increased glass transition temperature, enhanced membrane hydrophilicity, and intrinsic viscosity; the 100% SDCDPS homopolymer was water soluble. The acid form membranes were successfully obtained by treating the sodium form of the membranes with dilute sulfuric acid solution. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the sodium form materials have enhanced thermal stability relative to the acid form, as expected. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) phase images of the acid form membranes clearly show the hydrophilic domains, with sizes increasing from 10 to 25 nm as a function of the degree of sulfonation. A phase inversion could be observed for the 60% SCSDPS copolymer, which was consistent with a rapid increase in water absorption. Short-term aging (30 min) indicates that the desired acid form membranes are stable to 220 °C in air and conductivity values at 30 °C of 0.11 S/cm (SDCDPS/DCDPS=0.4) and 0.17 S/cm (SDCDPS/DCDPS=0.6) were measured, which are comparable to or higher than the state-of-the-art fluorinated copolymer Nafion 1135 control (0.12 S/cm). The conductivity is greatly influenced by ion exchange capacity, temperature, and water activity. The new copolymers, which contain ion conductivity sites on the deactivated positions of the aryl backbone rings, are candidates as new polymeric electrolyte materials for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells.

Generally, high-pressure gas atomization (HPGA) is a close-coupled discrete jet atomization method and is one of the most effective methods of producing such powders. Development of HPGA nozzles with discrete jets resembling convergent–divergent (C–D) rocket nozzle designs, instead of the previous cylindrical jets, was conducted to increase atomization efficiency and uniformity and to reduce the required gas supply pressures. Results of compressible gas flow measurements on both types of HPGA nozzles revealed a steadily increasing trend of gas mass flow with gas supply pressure and a positive deviation from isentropic behavior that increases for increasing supply pressure. This has been attributed to an insufficient volume in the atomization nozzle gas manifold that experiences enhanced expansion cooling at increasing pressures. In experiments on 316L stainless steel, the atomization efficiency of the HPGA nozzle with C–D jets was higher than that of the HPGA nozzle with cylindrical jets, reflecting a lower gas/metal mass flow ratio. In other words, while the powder size distributions were nearly the same for all of the HPGA experiments, the HPGA nozzle with C–D jets utilized atomization gas with a significantly reduced operating pressure and mass flow rate.

Our measurements of c33 show a sharp minimum at Tc of the superconducting transition. The variation of the elastic constant is thermodynamically related to both the heat capacity and thermal expansion. A comparison of our measurements of the peak in heat capacity and the minimum of the elastic constant shows strong similarities, both for the zero field and field (||c) measurements. Analysis of the data also appear to be consistent with 3D-XY scaling. By variation of the ultrasonic frequency, we observe that the softening near Tc is frequency dependent, and decreasing with increasing frequency. This behavior is to be expected when probing the critical dynamics of spacial fluctuation of the order parameter, for example spontaneously generated vortex loops in the vicinity of Tc.

The latter is a saturation recovery-type sequence that involves cross-polarization. It samples preferentially the soft non-crystalline regions of semicrystalline polymers. The method is found to be useful in determining T1C of the amorphous regions of semicrystalline iPP at room temperature. It is found that the atactic PP molecule and the non-crystalline iPP regions have the same average segmental relaxation rate.

In such a minimal supersymmetric model, the CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken by quantum effects dominated by third-generation squarks at the one-loop level and by one-loop gluino- and higgsino-mediated threshold corrections to the top- and bottom-quark Yukawa couplings at the two-loop level. Field-theoretic issues arising in the description of a two-level Higgs-boson system strongly mixed due to CP violation are addressed. Numerical results for the pole masses of the CP-violating Higgs bosons are presented, and comparisons are made with previous results obtained in the effective-potential approach.

Regression of NIR test results vs. percent weight loss for Postia placenta- and Gloeophyllum trabeum-infected spruce wood blocks yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96. Regression of MBMS test results for the same samples yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96. Principle components analysis was used to differentiate non-infected wood and P. placenta- and G. trabeum-infected wood. These techniques may be used to detect different types of biodegradation and to develop a better understanding of the chemical changes that the wood undergoes when it is subjected to brown-rot biodegradation.

The calorimeter was exposed to positron, positively charged pion and positive muon beams with energies in the range of 5–230 GeV. The energy resolution of the electromagnetic calorimeter to the positron beam is consistent with the design value of 16%/√ of E⊕1%, where E is the energy in units of GeV and represents sum in quadrature. The non-linearity for positrons is studied in an energy range of 11–181 GeV. It is important to incorporate the response of the preshower detector, the first layer of the electromagnetic calorimeter which is readout separately, into that of the calorimeter to reduce the non-linearity to 1% or less. The energy scale is about 1.46 pC/GeV with HAMAMATSU R4125 operated typically at a gain of 2.5×104. The response non-uniformity over the surface of a tower of the electromagnetic calorimeter is found to be about 2% with 57 GeV positrons. Studies of several detailed detector characteristics are also presented.

An energy calibration procedure for determining the neutron binding energy, Bn, from complicated (n, γ) spectra has been developed. A mathematically simple minimization function consisting only of terms having as parameters the coefficients of the energy calibration curve (polynomial) is used. A priori information about the relationships among the energies of different peaks on the spectrum is taken into account by a Monte-Carlo simulation. The procedure was used in obtaining Bn for 118Sn. The γ-ray spectrum from thermal neutron radiative capture by 117Sn has been measured on the IBR-2 pulsed reactor. γ-rays were detected by a 72 cm3 HPGe detector. For a better determination of Bn it was important to determine Bn for 64Cu. This value was obtained from two γ-spectra. One spectrum was measured on the IBR-2 by the same detector. The other spectrum was measured with a pair spectrometer at the Brookhaven High Flux Beam Reactor. From these two spectra, Bn for 64Cu was determined to be equal to 7915.52(8) keV. This result essentially differs from the previous value of 7915.96(11) keV. The mean value of the two most precise results of the Bn for 118Sn, was determined to be 9326.35(9) keV. The Bn for 57Fe was determined to be 7646.08(9) keV.

The associated detectors have capacitances ranging from a few tens of fF to several hundred pF. Applications call for pulse shaping from tens of ns to tens of μs, and constrain the available power per channel from tens of μW to tens of mW. At the same time a new technology generation, with changed device parameters, appears every 2 years or so. The optimum design of the front-end circuitry is examined taking into account submicron device characteristics, weak inversion operation, the reset system, and power supply scaling. Experimental results from recent prototypes will be presented. We will also discuss the evolution of preamplifier topologies and anticipated performance limits as CMOS technology scales down to the 0.1 μm/1.0 V generation in 2006.

Branching from γ-bands (K=2) and octupole-bands (K=0) were also measured. From this reanalysis the previously proposed “extra-hot-fission mode” (8–10 neutrons evaporated) is much weaker than first reported. In this paper, we discuss in detail the methodology, including background subtraction for triple-coincidence data. The importance of minimal compression spectra allowing least-squares peak-fitting analysis is emphasized.

The range of solid fractions considered ranged from about 40 to 68%. The yield stress of a foamy sand increases with gas fraction at a given solid fraction and increases with solid fraction at a given gas fraction. At a fixed fraction of solid plus gas, yield stress is relatively insensitive to gas or solid fraction alone. There exists a maximum liquid fraction above which the yield stress disappears. These trends agree with those reported for foamy sands encountered in tunneling through soft sediments and proppant-laden fracturing fluids used in the petroleum industry.

Sequential filter samplers were used at six different sites from 23 February to 22 March 1997. The sampling campaign was carried out as part of the project ‘Investigacio´n sobre Materia Particulada y Deterioro Atmosfe´rico-Aerosol and Visibility Evaluation Research’. This research was a cooperative project sponsored by PEMEX and by the US Department of Energy. Sampling sites represent the different land uses along the city, the northwest station, Tlalnepantla, is located in a mixed medium income residential and industrial area. The northeast station, Xalostoc, is located in a highly industrialized area, Netzahualcoyotl is located in a mixed land use area, mainly commercial and residential. Station La Merced is located in the commercial and administrative district downtown. The southwest station is located in the Pedregal de San Angel, in a high-income neighborhood, and the southeast station located in Cerro de la Estrella is a mixed medium income residential and commercial area. Samples were collected four times a day in Cerro de la Estrella (CES), La Merced (MER) and Xalostoc (XAL) with sampling periods of 6 h. In Pedregal (PED), Tlalnepantla (TLA) and Netzahualcoyotl (NEZ) sampling periods were every 24 h. In this paper the basic statistics of PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations are presented. The average results showed that 49, 61, 46, 57, 51 and 44% of the PM10 consisted of PM2.5 for CES, MER, XAL, PED, TLA and NEZ, respectively. The 24-h average highest concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were registered at NEZ (184 and 267 μg/m3) and the lowest at PED (22 and 39 μg/m3). The highest PM10 correlations were between XAL-CES (0.79), PED-TLA (0.80). In contrast, the highest PM2.5 correlations were between CES-PED (0.74), MER-CES (0.73) and TLA-PED (0.72), showing a lower correlation than the PM10 one. The results of the PM10 from 12.00 to 18.00 h at CES and MER presented the highest variability and also the highest median concentrations, meanwhile XAL showed them from 06.00 to 12.00 h. The highest variability and median concentrations of PM2.5 were from 06.00 to 12.00 h for the three stations.

In addition, four 6-h samples were taken each day at three of the core sites. Sampling locations were selected to represent regional, central city, commercial, residential, and industrial portions of the city. Mass and light transmission concentrations were determined on all of the samples, while elements, ions and carbon were measured on approximately two-thirds of the samples. PM10 concentrations were highly variable, with almost three-fold differences between the highest and lowest concentrations. Fugitive dust was the major cause of PM10 differences, although carbon concentrations were also highly variable among the sampling sites. Approximately 50% of PM10 was in the PM2.5 fraction. The majority of PM mass was comprised of carbon, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium and crustal components, but in different proportions on different days and at different sites. The largest fine-particle components were carbonaceous aerosols, constituting ∼50% of PM2.5 mass, followed by ∼30% secondary inorganic aerosols and ∼15% geological material. Geological material is the largest component of PM10, constituting ∼50% of PM10 mass, followed by ∼32% carbonaceous aerosols and ∼17% secondary inorganic aerosols. Sulfate concentrations were twice as high as nitrate concentrations. Sulfate and nitrate were present as ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate. Approximately two-thirds of the ammonium sulfate measured in urban areas appears to have been transported from regions outside of the study domain, rather than formed from emissions in the urban area. Diurnal variations are apparent, with two-fold increases in concentration from night-time to daytime. Morning samples had the highest PM2.5 and PM10 mass, secondary inorganic aerosols and carbon concentrations, probably due to a shallow surface inversion and rush-hour traffic.

DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), ligase IV, and XRCC4 are all critical components of the NHEJ repair pathway. DNA-PK is composed of a heterodimeric DNA-binding component, Ku, and a large catalytic subunit, DNA-PKcs. Ligase IV and XRCC4 associate to form a multimeric complex that is also essential for NHEJ. DNA-PK and ligase IV/XRCC4 interact at DNA termini which results in stimulated ligase activity. Here, we define interactions between the components of these two essential complexes, DNA-PK and ligase IV/XRCC4. We find that ligase IV/XRCC4 associates with DNA-PK in a DNA-independent manner. The specific protein–protein interactions that mediate the interaction between these two complexes are further identified. Direct interactions between ligase IV and Ku as well as between XRCC4 and DNA-PKcs are shown. In contrast, binding of ligase IV to DNA-PKcs or XRCC4 to Ku is very weak or non-existent. Our data defines the specific protein pairs involved in the association of DNA-PK and ligase IV/XRCC4, and suggests a molecular mechanism for coordinating the assembly of the DNA repair complex at DNA breaks.

We formulate a minimal flavor-changing-neutral current scheme in which the squark mixings arise from the non-diagonal scalar trilinear interactions. This feature can be realized in a class of new models with a horizontal U(1)H symmetry which generates realistic quark-mass matrices and provides a solution to the SUSY μ-problem. Finally, without using the mass-insertion approximation, we analyze SUSY radiative corrections to the H±bc and h0tc couplings, and show that these couplings can reveal exciting new discovery channels for the Higgs boson signals at the Tevatron and the LHC.

Single-crystal (U–Th)/He in apatite ages were determined for a suite of crystalline rock samples from the footwall to this detachment. The samples were collected from a transect parallel to the fault slip direction, and proximal to the fault zone; they show a linear decrease in age with distance, from ∼14 to ∼11 Ma over ∼15 km. The age versus distance relationship is interpreted to show a slip rate of 4.2 (+1.2/−0.8) mm/yr, continuing for a period of >3 Myr. This rate is more-or-less in agreement with, but more precise than, previously published slip rates from this and other large-offset extensional detachments. Such slip rates are alarmingly high, being roughly 5–10 times faster than rates commonly observed on active structures at the Earth’s surface. These rapid slip rates suggest that significant seismic hazard might be posed by some extensional structures, and they raise questions regarding the relationship between such rapidly slipping, large-offset structures and the slower, smaller offset faults that are more commonly observed at the Earth’s surface.

A particular challenge lies in describing and quantifying interactions of biological macromolecules. An important example from bioprocessing is the separation and subsequent purification of proteins. Protein precipitation by salts is the first and most common step in protein isolation from microbial, plant and animal sources. Subsequent purification by chromatographic means relies on protein interactions with charged or hydrophobic solid phases. In order to obtain protein crystals for X-ray diffraction, solution conditions that favor crystallization can often be identified from thermodynamic measurements at high dilution.Protein–protein intermolecular forces are generally short-ranged. Their specific nature is governed by such factors as pH, protein surface charge, charge distribution, surface hydrophobicity and the nature of the intervening electrolyte solution. These effects require quantification to develop useful molecular thermodynamic models for the processes described above.The role of specific salts on protein–protein interactions has been examined using static light scattering with lysozyme, ovalbumin, and a D101F mutant of lysozyme. These experiments provide insight concerning solvation forces that contribute to the interprotein potential. A statistical–mechanical description of protein crystallization is developed, based on the favorable interactions due to the protein–protein contacts in the crystal and the unfavorable entropy loss resulting from constraining the protein in the crystal.The intracellular environment is crowded, and at high rates of recombinant protein synthesis, protein–protein interactions can form inclusion bodies, presenting purification challenges. Protein aggregation can result in misfolding, while molecular chaperones within the cell can assist in protein folding. The competition between desired folding to a native structure and undesired aggregation is examined by Monte Carlo simulations in the presence and absence of chaperone analogs at finite protein concentrations. Aggregates are favored over native, folded proteins when the protein volume fraction exceeds 10%. Presence of a chaperone enhances the formation of native configurations.

The spheres each have a hard core and an attractive interaction, written as a single Yukawa potential or as a sum of Yukawa potentials. We have calculated the phase equilibria and PVT behaviour of the HSYC fluid both theoretically and by Monte Carlo simulation. The theoretical approach is based on the analytic solution of the polymer mean spherical approximation for the HSYC fluid. By comparing the theory and simulation we are able to evaluate the accuracy of the theory. We find that in general the theory performs very well, thus, it provides an analytic route to an equation of state for a well-defined model of chain fluids.

Using the μVT ensemble configurational-bias Monte Carlo technique, we are able to determine the preferred locations of the butane isomers in the ZSM-5 channels. In permeation simulations, using the μVT ensemble non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method, the permeate fluxes of the butane isomers are obtained. We find that the permeabilities of the n-butane calculated from the permeate fluxes increase with increasing temperature. The density of n-butane in the ZSM-5 decreases in the permeation direction with a similar pressure–density relationship to that measured by the equilibrium adsorption isotherm of the n-butane.

In both fluid and solid phases, the free energy is the sum of a hard-sphere-chain term as the reference system, and a van der Waals term as the perturbation. The reference system for both phases follows from the Percus–Yevick integral theory coupled with Chiew’s results for hard chains. An analytic model for the solid-phase reference term of a hard-chain system agrees well with computer-simulation data for the solid hard-chain compressibility. Simulation data for fluid–solid coexistence curves for hard spheres, and for 4-mer hard chains, are used to fit the reference Helmholtz free energy of the solid phase. The pressure and solid and fluid densities at the hard-chain melting point, predicted by our model, fairly reproduce the available simulation data at different chain lengths.The attractive perturbation term follows from an inverse-power potential with variable exponent n for both fluid and solid phases. The theory here presented reproduces the simulated phase diagrams of chain-like molecules and gives the correct trend for experimental melting points of normal alkanes.

While previous calculations of phase diagrams have assumed a time-invariant potential function, this report concerns the phase diagram for “breathing” molecules, i.e. molecules whose strength of intermolecular attraction fluctuates in time. Such fluctuations can occur in biomacromolecules where an active site can switch between “on” and “off” positions. Phase-equilibrium calculations were performed for molecules that have a periodic (breathing) attractive force in addition to the conventional intermolecular forces. The phase diagram for such molecules is as expected when the “breathing” properties are independent of density. However, when (more realistically), the “breathing” properties are density-dependent, the phase diagram exhibits dramatic changes. These calculations may be useful for interpreting experimental data for protein precipitation, for plaque formation in blood vessels and for scaffold-supported tissue formation.

Because of their geometry, these short fibers were named bone-shaped short (BSS) fibers. It was found in several composite systems that the BSS fibers can simultaneously improve both the strength and toughness of composites, and the mechanisms for such improvements vary with mechanical properties of the composite constituents. The strength increase resulted from the effective load transfer from the matrix to the fibers through mechanical interlocking at the enlarged fiber ends. The toughness increase resulted from one or several mechanisms, including: reduction in stress concentration in a brittle fiber reinforced composite with weak fiber/matrix interfacial bonding; higher fiber pullout resistance when the BSS fibers bridging a matrix crack are pulled out, with the enlarged ends attached and perhaps deformed; and plastic deformation of ductile fibers. Both experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted on composite mechanical properties and fractography, fiber pullout, and stress analysis.

AMG is attractive in that it holds out the possibility of multigrid-like performance on unstructured grids. The sheer size of many modern physics and simulation problems has led to the development of massively parallel computers, and has sparked much research into developing algorithms for them. Parallelizing AMG is a difficult task, however. While much of the AMG method parallelizes readily, the process of coarse-grid selection, in particular, is fundamentally sequential in nature.We have previously introduced a parallel algorithm [A.J. Cleary, R.D. Falgout, V.E. Henson, J.E. Jones, in: Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Solving Irregularly Structured Problems in Parallel, Springer, New York, 1998] for the selection of coarse-grid points, based on modifications of certain parallel independent set algorithms and the application of heuristics designed to insure the quality of the coarse grids, and shown results from a prototype serial version of the algorithm.In this paper we describe an implementation of a parallel AMG code, using the algorithm of A.J. Cleary, R.D. Falgout, V.E. Henson, J.E. Jones [in: Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Solving Irregularly Structured Problems in Parallel, Springer, New York, 1998] as well as other approaches to parallelizing the coarse-grid selection. We consider three basic coarsening schemes and certain modifications to the basic schemes, designed to address specific performance issues. We present numerical results for a broad range of problem sizes and descriptions, and draw conclusions regarding the efficacy of the method. Finally, we indicate the current directions of the research.

JO - Biodegradation JF - Biodegradation Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 79 EP - 90 SN - 09239820 AB - A combination of geochemical, microbiological and isotopic methods were used to evaluate in-situ bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons at one site contaminated with refinery waste and a second site contaminated with aviation gasoline at Alameda Point, California. At each site, geochemical and microbiological characteristics from four locations in the contaminated zone were compared to those from two uncontaminated background locations. At both sites, the geochemical indicators of in-situbiodegradation includeddepleted soil gas and groundwater oxygen, elevated groundwater alkalinity, and elevated soil gas carbon dioxide and methane in the contaminated zone relative to the background. Radiocarbon content of methane and carbon dioxide measured in soil gas at both sites indicated that they were derived from hydrocarbon contaminant degradation. Direct microscopy of soil core samples using cell wall stains and activity stains, revealed elevated microbial numbers and enhanced microbial activities in contaminated areas relative to background areas, corroborating geochemical findings. While microbial plate counts and microcosm studies using soil core samples provided laboratory evidence for the presence of some microbial activity and contaminant degradation abilities, they did not correlate well with either contaminant location, geochemical, isotopic, or direct microscopy data.

JO - Biodegradation JF - Biodegradation Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 149 EP - 154 SN - 09239820 AB - In vitro assays demonstrated that toluene-grown cells of Geobacter metallireducens catalyzed the addition of toluene to fumarate to form benzylsuccinate under anaerobic conditions. The specific in vitro rate of benzylsuccinate formationwas ca. 45% of the specific in vivo rate of toluene consumption. In addition, bssA and bssB, which code for the α and β subunits of benzylsuccinate synthase (BSS), respectively, were found to have sequences in G. etallireducens similar to the only sequences heretofore available (for three denitrifying strains). This is the first report of the presence of BSS in a ferriciron-reducing bacterium; BSS activity has previously been reported in denitrifying, sulfate-reducing, and anoxygenic phototrophic toluene degraders, as well as in a highly enriched methanogenic, toluene-degrading culture.

AFM measurements in saline solution showed that the presence of ionic functional groups at the surface lowered the friction and adhesion to a hydrophobic polystyrene tip. This was attributed to the specific interactions of water and the molecular orientation of hydrogel chains at the surface. Friction and adhesion behavior also revealed the presence of domains of non-crosslinked polymer chains at the lens surface. SFG showed that the lens surface became partially dehydrated upon exposure to air. On this partially dehydrated lens surface, the non-crosslinked domains exhibited low friction and adhesion in AFM. Fully hydrated in saline solution, the non-crosslinked domains extended more than tens of nanometers into solution and were mobile.

The SAM-modified microcantilevers undergo bending due to selective adsorption of calcium ions. Experiments conducted under flow conditions show that the modified cantilevers respond sensitively to calcium ions (Ca2+); a Ca2+ concentration of 10−9 M can be detected with this technique. Other cations, such as Na+ and K+, do not have any effect on the deflection of these cantilevers. We demonstrate two different kinds of SAMs having selectivity for calcium ions.

SN - 00068314 AB - Maximum cross-correlation provides a method to remotely determine highly resolved three-dimensional fields of horizontal winds with elastic lidar throughout large volumes of the planetary boundary layer (PBL). This paper details the technique and shows comparisons between elastic lidar winds, remotely sensed laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) wind profiles, and radiosonde winds. Radiosonde wind data were acquired at Barcelona, Spain, during the Barcelona Air-Quality Initiative (1992), and the LDV wind data were acquired at Sunland Park, New Mexico (N.M.), during the Border Area Air-Quality Study (1994). Comparisons show good agreement between the different instruments, and demonstrate the method useful for air pollution management at the local/regional scale. Elastic lidar winds could thus offer insight into aerosol and pollution transport within the PBL. Lidar wind fields might also be used to nudge or improve initialization and evaluation of atmospheric meteorological models.

Adhesion of parasitized red blood cells (PRBCs) to endothelial cells and subsequent accumulation in the microvasculature are pivotal events in the pathogenesis of falciparum malaria. During intraerythrocytic development, numerous proteins exported from the parasite associate with the RBC membrane skeleton but the precise function of many of these proteins remain unknown. Their cellular location, however, suggests that some may play a role in adhesion. The adhesive properties of PRBCs are best studied under flow conditions in vitro ; however, experimental variation in levels of cytoadherence in currently available assays make subtle alterations in adhesion difficult to quantify. Here, we describe a flow-based assay that can quantify small differences in adhesion and document the extent to which a number of parasite proteins influence adhesion using parasite lines that no longer express specific proteins. Loss of parasite proteins ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (RESA), knob-associated histidine-rich protein (KAHRP) or Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 3 (PfEMP3) had a significant effect on the ability of PRBCs to adhere, whereas loss of mature parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (MESA) had no effect. Our studies indicate that a number of membrane skeleton-associated parasite proteins, although not exposed on the RBC surface, can collectively affect the adhesive properties of PRBCs and further our understanding of pathophysiologically relevant structure/function relationships in malaria-infected RBCs.

The host crystal contains two slightly inequivalent Y3+ ions, each with an approximate C2v site symmetry. The crystal-field energy levels of the Nd3+ ion doped in the two slightly inequivalent sites of the host crystal have been measured by optical absorption spectroscopy as well as by laser-selective excitation and emission experiments. As many as 151 and 156 energy levels have been ascribed to the Nd(1) and Nd(2) sites, respectively. Emission transients of a number of the levels were determined. Strong fluorescence and upconversion transitions were recorded and some mechanisms involving excited state absorption and energy transfer between Nd3+ ions were proposed as explanatory for the results of the present investigations.

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 174 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 39 EP - 60 SN - 00102202 AB - Ultraviolet emission imaging (305-315 nm) was used to study the combustion of sandwiches of ammonium perchlorate (AP) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) in nitrogen at pressures up to 32 atm, with binder layers from 50 to 450 µm in thickness. The emission imaging was combined with a novel backlighting technique to allow determination of the corresponding surface shape during combustion. The results indicated that the interface regression rate of IPDI-cured samples undergoing laser-assisted deflagration (120 W/cm 2 average flux) is nearly independent of the binder thickness for binders thicker than 100 µm. The pressure exponent of the regression rate is 0.31 up to 15 atm, then increases with pressure from 15 to 32 atm. Two primary flame regimes were identified: a regime of high Peclet and Damköhler numbers which exhibits a split base in the ultraviolet flame emission, and a regime of low Peclet and Damköhler numbers which exhibits a merged flame base. A third, "lifted" flame region, in which the strongest flame emission starts several hundred microns above the solid surface, occurs with low Damköhler numbers and high Peclet numbers. The effects of Pe and binder oxygenation (by fine-AP) on the size of the diffusion flame and the location of its leading edges relative to the AP/binder interface were observed to be in agreement with Shvab-Zeldovich theory.

The conventional picture of grain growth assumes that the process is governed by curvature-driven grain-boundary (GB) migration. Our MD simulations demonstrate that, at least in a nanocrystalline material, grain growth can also be triggered by the coordinated rotations of neighboring grains so as to eliminate the common GB between them. Such rotation–coalescence events result in the formation of highly elongated, unstable grains which then grow via the GB migration mechanism. These insights can be incorporated into mesoscale simulations in which, instead of the atoms, the objects that evolve in space and time are discretized GBs, grain junctions and the grain orientations, with a time scale controlled by that associated with grain rotation and GB migration and with a length scale given by the grain size. These mesoscale simulations, with physical insight and input materials parameters obtained by MD simulation, enable the investigation of the topology and long-time grain-growth behavior in a physically more realistic manner than via mesoscale simulations alone.

Four high-symmetry configurations have been considered and fully relaxed. The most stable configuration for Ge dimers on Si(1 0 0) is found to be in the trough between two surface dimer rows, oriented parallel to the substrate Si dimers. These results are consistent with recent experimental studies of the system using the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and help to clarify some existing controversies on the interpretation of the STM images. In contrast, for Ge dimers on Ge(1 0 0), the most stable configuration is on top of the substrate dimer row.

Procedures for setting up the initial atomic configurations in each case are described, and estimate is made of the local driving force due to the image interactions. Preliminary results show that at low temperature the edge dislocation moves primarily through kink nucleation, whereas the mobility of the screw dislocation is strongly facilitated by the presence of a kink.

A study of planar glide of screw dislocation in Si, an ideal test-bed for our method is first discussed, followed by preliminary results for a more complicated problem, three-dimensional motion of screw dislocation in BCC metals. We find that accuracy of the model predictions, even in the favorable case of Si, cannot claim to be quantitative because of uncertainties in the atomistic results for kink energetics. On the other hand, the kMC method is useful for qualitatively probing the mechanisms controlling dislocation motion, and it is capable of providing plausible explanation of some puzzling features of the experimental data.

It is known that the nuclei at initial stage of the islands are more stable than others and certain atoms are inert while others are active. In this paper, we will show that, when a surfactant layer is used to mediate the growth, a counter-intuitive fractal-to-compact island shape transition can be induced by increasing deposition flux or decreasing growth temperature. Specifically, we introduce a reaction-limited aggregation (RLA) theory, where the physical process controlling the island shape transition is the shielding effect of adatoms stuck to stable islands on incoming adatoms. Also discussed are the origin of a transition from triangular to hexagonal then to inverted triangular and the decay characteristics of 3D islands on surface, and connections of our unique predictions with recent experiments. Furthermore, we will present a novel idea to make use of the condensation energy of adatoms to control the island evolution along special direction.

The PES programs are written in ANSI standard FORTRAN77 and can be used to determine the Born–Oppenheimer potential energy of chemical systems as a function of the internal coordinates. The accompanying test data allow users to verify local implementations of this library. Finally, the utility programs permit use of this library in conjunction with a variety of chemical dynamics and chemical kinetics computer codes. Interface routines are provided for the POLYRATE and ABCRATE program packages of Truhlar and co-workers, the VENUS96 program package of Hase and co-workers, and the VARIFLEX program package of Klippenstein and co-workers; the routines in this library can also be used in conjunction with the DYNASOL program package of Zhang and co-workers. This article describes the library and the utility programs and outlines the systematic conventions used for interfaces in the computer programs contained in the library. Adherence to these conventions will allow future PESs to be compatible with this library.

The quasi-linear model of Fung [1] has been used successfully for a wide range of soft biological tissues. Due to the integral definition of linear viscoelastic materials, solutions are conveniently performed in the Laplace transform plane. Complex kernels like the quasilinear model are challenging to invert back to the real plane. Here, the method of Gaver [2] and Stehfest [3] is used to numerically carry Laplace space solutions to the real plane. Parametric results for a basic impulsive disturbance problem are presented. Results indicate that stress wave propagation is weakly dependent on the fast time, slow time ratio and more strongly dependent on the logarithmic damping parameter. Limitations of the numerical inversion method in the face of discontinuities are discussed as well using asymptotic methods. As an alternative to the numerical/polynomial-based Gaver-Stehfest method, a semianalytical regularization function useful near large gradient regions method is developed. A composite method that utilizes both the fully numerical and semianalytical convolution-based method is also described. The composite model provides improved results in terms of reducing computational undershoot and overshoot (wiggles) which limit both the fully numerical and the semianalytical models alone.

The effluent-affected deposit is visible in high-resolution subbottom profiles on the shelf and the adjacent San Pedro basin slope to water depths of 170 m. It has a maximum thickness of 75 cm and was mapped acoustically over an area of 10.8 km2, which encompasses a volume of about 3.2 million m3. The deposit''s basal reflector is acoustically distinct over most of the mapped area, implying that the deposit has not been extensively mixed across its base, perhaps being relatively free of reworking since its initial deposition. Nearshore, the basal reflector is weak and fades away toward land, which could result from syndepositional intermixing of coarse native sediment (particularly from the Portuguese Bend landslide) with effluent in the high-energy nearshore zone, or postdepositionally by physical (wave) or biological mixing across the interface. The geometry of the deposit implies that effluent is dispersed primarily in a northwesterly and seaward direction from the diffusers. Dispersal across the shelf break is in some places strongly affected by topography, particularly by submarine canyons. The deposit overlies stratified and unstratified Quaternary sediment, up to 30 m thick, that in turn overlies the irregular erosional surface of deformed Miocene bedrock that crops out in places on the shelf and upper basin slope. The effluent-affected deposit rests on potentially unstable landslide deposits on the San Pedro basin slope. The acoustic profiles and side-scan images show evidence for active and inactive vents, probably of hot water and gas, some of which are within the boundary of the effluent-affected sediment deposit and could disrupt it if seepage occurs.

The thickness data were measured directly from cores and indirectly from high-frequency subbottom profiles collected over the Palos Verdes Margin. Strong spatial continuity of the sediment thickness data was identified, with a maximum range of correlation in excess of 1.4 km. The spatial correlation showed a marked anisotropy, and was more than twice as continuous in the alongshore direction as in the cross-shelf direction. Sequential indicator simulation employing models fit to the thickness data variograms was used to map the distribution of the sediment, and to quantify the uncertainty in those estimates. A strong correlation between sediment thickness data and measurements of the mass of the contaminant p,p′-DDE per unit area was identified. A calibration based on the bivariate distribution of the thickness and p,p′-DDE data was applied using Markov-Bayes indicator simulation to extend the geostatistical study and map the contamination levels in the sediment. Integrating the map grids produced by the geostatistical study of the two variables indicated that 7.8 million m3 of effluent-affected sediment exist in the map area, containing approximately 61–72 Mg (metric tons) of p,p′-DDE. Most of the contaminated sediment (about 85% of the sediment and 89% of the p,p′-DDE) occurs in water depths <100 m. The geostatistical study also indicated that the samples available for mapping are well distributed and the uncertainty of the estimates of the thickness and contamination level of the sediments is lowest in areas where the contaminated sediment is most prevalent.

JO - Cytogenetic & Genome Research JF - Cytogenetic & Genome Research Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 97 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 43 EP - 50 SN - 14248581 AB - Multicolor chromosome banding (MCB) allows the delineation of chromosomal regions with a resolution of a few megabasepairs, i.e., slightly below the size of most visible chromosome bands. Based on the hybridization of overlapping region-specific probe libraries, chromosomal subregions are hybridized with probes that fluoresce in distinct wavelength intervals, so they can be assigned predefined pseudo-colors during the digital imaging and visualization process. The present study demonstrates how MCB patterns can be produced by region-specific microdissection derived (mcd) libraries as well as collections of yeast or bacterial artificial chromosomes (YACs and BACs, respectively). We compared the efficiency of an mcd library based approach with the hybridization of collections of locus-specific probes (LSP) for fluorescent banding of three rather differently sized human chromosomes, i.e., chromosomes 2, 13, and 22. The LSP sets were comprised of 107 probes specific for chromosome 2, 82 probes for chromosome 13, and 31 probes for chromosome 22. The results demonstrated a more homogeneous coverage of chromosomes and thus, more desirable banding patterns using the microdissection library-based MCB. This may be related to the observation that chromosomes are difficult to cover completely with YAC and/or BAC clones as single-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments showed. Mcd libraries, on the other hand, provide high complexity probes that work well as region-specific paints, but do not readily allow positioning of breakpoints on genetic or physical maps as required for the positional cloning of genes. Thus, combinations of mcd libraries and locus-specific large insert DNA probes appear to be the most efficient tools for high-resolution cytogenetic analyses. Copyright © 2002 S.

The electrochemical performance and structural stability of ZnO-coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 electrodes in the 5 V region at elevated temperature has been studied as function of the level of ZnO coating. The 1.5 wt% ZnO-coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 electrode delivers an initial discharge capacity of 137 mAh g−1 with excellent cyclability at elevated temperature even at 55 °C. The reason for the excellent cycling performance of ZnO-coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 electrode is largely attributed to ZnO playing an important role of HF getting in the electrolyte.

Switching from 8 to 30 nt mode is associated with a large conformational change. Here we report the 2.8 Å structure of the RPA trimerization core comprising the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of subunit RPA70 (DBD-C), the central DNA-binding domain of subunit RPA32 (DBD-D) and the entire RPA14 subunit. All three domains are built around a central oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding (OB)- fold and flanked by a helix at the C-terminus. Trimerization is mediated by three C-terminal helices arranged in parallel. The OB-fold of DBD-C possesses unique structural features; embedded zinc ribbon and helix-turn-helix motifs. Using time-resolved proteolysis with trypsin, we demonstrate that the trimerization core does not contribute to the binding with substrates of 10 nt, but interacts with oligonucleotides of 24 nt. Taken together, our data indicate that switching from 8-10 to 30 nt mode is mediated by DNA binding with the trimerization core.

This paper describes how California''s investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have been promoting emerging technologies over the past three years to increase energy efficiency in the buildings sector. During these years, the IOUs have experienced significant changes in their regulatory environment as part of the restructuring of the energy industry in California. These regulatory changes have impacted the way emerging technologies are treated by the regulatory community and the IOUs. After reviewing these changes, the paper concludes by discussing potential opportunities to improve the market penetration of emerging technologies.

Total DNA was extracted from cyanobacteria-, lichen-, or moss-dominated crusts that represent different successional stages in crust development, and which contribute different amounts of carbon and nitrogen into the ecosystem. Cyanobacterial 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR using cyanobacteria-specific 16S rDNA primers. Both TRF and clone sequence analyses indicated that the cyanobacterial crust type is dominated by strains of Microcoleus vaginatus, but also contains other cyanobacterial genera. In the moss crust, M. vaginatus-related sequences were also the most abundant types, together with sequences from moss chloroplasts. In contrast, sequences obtained from the lichen crust were surprisingly diverse, representing numerous genera, but including only two from M. vaginatus relatives. By obtaining clone sequence information, we were able to infer the composition of many peaks observed in TRF profiles, and all peaks predicted for clone sequences were observed in TRF analysis. This study provides the first TRF analysis of biological soil crusts and the first DNA-based comparison of cyanobacterial diversity between lichen-, cyano- and moss-dominated crusts. Results indicate that for this phylogenetic group, TRF analysis, in conjunction with limited sequence analysis, can provide accurate information about the composition and relative abundance of cyanobacterial types in soil crust communities.

The mineral and carbon components of the fly ash appear to charge oppositely to how they were charged before exposure to moisture. A correlation was found between the degree of charge reversal and the relative amounts of leachable ions, especially calcium and sodium ions, present on the surface of the ash.

Typical Zn complexes on the surface have Zn-O distances of 1.97(.02) A˚ and coordination numbers of about 4.0(0.5), consistent with tetrahedral oxygen coordination. This contrasts with Zn-O distances of 2.11(.02) A˚ and coordination numbers of 6 to 7 in the aqueous Zn solutions used in sample preparation. X-ray absorption extended fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) fits to the second shell of cation neighbors indicate as many as 4 Zn-Fe neighbors at 3.44(.04) A˚ in coprecipitated samples, and about two Zn-Fe neighbors at the same distance in adsorption samples. In both sets of samples, the fitted coordination number of second shell cations decreases as sorption density increases, indicating changes in the number and type of available complexing sites or the onset of competitive precipitation processes. Comparison of our results with the possible geometries for surface complexes and precipitates suggests that the Zn sorption complexes are inner sphere and at lowest adsorption densities are bidentate, sharing apical oxygens with adjacent edge-sharing Fe(O,OH)6 octahedra. Coprecipitation samples have complexes with similar geometry, but these are polydentate, sharing apices with more than two adjacent edge-sharing Fe(O,OH)6 polyhedra. The results are inconsistent with Zn entering the ferrihydrite structure (i.e., solid solution formation) or formation of other Zn-Fe precipitates. The fitted Zn-Fe coordination numbers drop with increasing Zn density with a minimum of about 0.8(.2) at Zn/(Zn + Fe) of 0.08 or more. This change appears to be attributable to the onset of precipitation of zinc hydroxide polymers with mainly tetrahedral Zn coordination. At the highest loadings studied, the nature of the complexes changes further, and a second type of precipitate forms. This has a structure based on a brucite layer topology, with mainly octahedral Zn coordination. Amorphous zinc hydroxide samples prepared for comparison had a closely similar local structure. Analysis of the Fe K-edge EXAFS is consistent with surface complexation reactions and surface precipitation at high Zn loadings with little or no Fe-Zn solid solution formation. The formation of Zn-containing precipitates at solution conditions two or more orders of magnitude below their solubility limit is compared with other sorption and spectroscopic studies that describe similar behavior.

Linked by selection mechanisms, multiple views are combined to form perspectives that both enable discovery of high-level structure in software change data and allow effective access to details of those data. Use of the views and perspectives is illustrated in two important contexts: understanding software change by exploration of software change data and management of software development.

The Ni–Si alloys used for acid-corrosion resistance suffer from a dynamic environmental embrittlement when tested at intermediate temperatures around 600 °C. To assess these Ni–Si alloys for elevated-temperature structural application, the mechanical properties of these alloys strengthened by Ni3Si precipitates were systematically evaluated at different temperatures in various test environments. Oxygen was identified as the embrittling species responsible for the low ductility and premature fracture of the Ni–Si alloys. A strong dependence of elongation and fracture mode on strain rate was observed. Based on the understanding of the embrittlement mechanism, some unique approaches for improving the intermediate-temperature ductility, strength and fabricability of Ni–Ni3Si alloys were identified: reactive element doping (such as Zr and Y) to change the grain boundary chemistry; preoxidation to form adherent oxide layers; and thermomechanical processing to tailor the grain structure/shape. Some other properties such as creep resistance and weldability of these alloys were also briefly evaluated and are discussed in this paper.

Fortunately, such peak distortions may typically be avoided by appropriate experimental design and/or greatly minimized by internal frequency-to-m/z calibration. Various aspects of modern FT-ICR detection (hardware and software) are discussed.

This charge-integrating detector was based upon the merging of technologies from the fields of CCDs and infrared (IR) multiplexers. Measurements were performed by exposing the detector to an Ar+ ion beam of low flux. The array detector responds to both positive and negative charges and preliminary results indicate a detection limit of 100 ions. Current data indicate that the linear dynamic range of the device is over five orders of magnitude. The capability of the device to perform specialized charge read out modes could theoretically both lower the detection limit by a factor of seven and increase the linear dynamic range to nine orders of magnitude using non-destructive read outs.

Previous investigations have shown that, for two-dimensional magnetic sources, the shape and location of the maxima of the amplitude of the analytic signal (AAS) are independent of the magnetization direction. In this study, we show that the shape of the AAS over magnetic dipole or sphere source is dependent on the direction of magnetization and, consequently, the maxima of the AAS are not always located directly over the dipolar sources. Maximum shift in the horizontal location is obtained for magnetic inclination of 30°. The shifts of the maxima are a function of the source-to-observation distance and they can be up to 30% of the distance. We also present a method of estimating the depths of compact magnetic objects based on the ratio of the AAS of the magnetic anomaly to the AAS of the vertical gradient of the magnetic anomaly. The estimated depths are independent of the magnetization direction. With the help of magnetic anomalies over environmental targets of buried steel drums, we show that the depths can be reliably estimated in most cases. Therefore, the analytic signal approach can be useful in estimating source locations of compact magnetic objects. However, horizontal locations of the targets derived from the maximum values of the AAS must be verified using other techniques.

Methods and Results: API ZYMTM assay was used to monitor the activities of 19 extracellular enzymes during poultry and pig manure composting. Results showed an overall increase in diversity and relative abundance of enzymes present. The relative abundance and activities of enzymes were higher in poultry manure than in pig manure. Among the 19 enzymes tested, esterase, valine amino-peptidase and α-galactosidase were the most abundant enzymes in poultry manure, whereas it was N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase for the pig manure. A number of these enzymes correlated with change in numbers of different microbial groups during composting. Conclusions: The composting process represented a combined activity of a wide succession of environments, as one enzyme/microbial group overlapped the other and each emerged gradually due to the continual change in temperature and progressive breakdown of complex compounds to simpler ones. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results presented here show the applicability of the API ZYMTM test not only in monitoring the quantitative and qualitative fluctuation of the available substrate during composting, but also in revealing differences in composts and compost maturity.

On the basis of assumptions for the mass transfer and reactions of ozone, three approaches were considered: equilibrium, kinetic, and lump models. Water-saturation-dependent reactions of gaseous ozone with soil organic matter (SOM) and phenanthrene were employed. The models were solved numerically by using the finite-difference method, and the model parameters were determined by using the experimental data of Hsu [The use of gaseous ozone to remediate the organic contaminants in the unsaturated soils, PhD Thesis, Michigan State Univ., East Lansing, MI, 1995].The transport of gas-phase ozone is significantly retarded by ozone consumption due to reactions with SOM and phenanthrene, in addition to dissolution. An operation time of 156 h was required to completely remove phenanthrene in a 5-m natural soil column. In actual situations, however, the operation time is likely to be longer than the ideal time because of unknown factors including heterogeneity of the porous medium and the distribution of SOM and contaminant. The ozone transport front length was found to be very limited (<1 m). The sensitivity analysis indicated that SOM is the single most important factor affecting in situ ozonation for the remediation of unsaturated soil contaminated with phenanthrene. Models were found to be insensitive to the reaction mechanisms of phenathrene with either gas-phase ozone or dissolved ozone. More study is required to quantify the effect of OH· formation on the removal of contaminant and on ozone transport in the subsurface.

However, until very recently, phage display methods have been inappropriate for the analysis of epitopes that require a free carboxy terminus. Here we describe the use of two different techniques to analyze the known C terminal epitope specificity of MN423, a monoclonal antibody specifically staining truncated tau in Alzheimer''s brain. Using a lambda phage based C-terminal random peptide library, and an intracellular expression library based on truncated tau, we show that this antibody has an absolute requirement for a glycine at position −3 with respect to the C terminus. Both methods give similar results, and identify other important residues in the binding site. However, affinity analysis of synthetic peptides revealed that the affinity of the antibody for identified tripeptides was far lower than the pentapeptide sequence in the native target, and that this in turn was considerably below the affinity for the native target itself. This suggests that molecular diversity methods may define minimum, but not necessarily complete epitopes. The methods described here have a general application to the analysis of antibody epitopes suspected to be found at the C terminus.

The goal of this study is to better understand the underlying mechanisms of IASCC. Simulations of post-irradiation annealing of RIS and dislocation loop microstructure predicted that dislocation loops would be removed preferentially over RIS due to both thermodynamic and kinetic considerations. To verify the simulation predictions, a series of post-irradiation annealing experiments were performed. Both a high purity 304L (HP-304L) and a commercial purity 304 (CP-304) stainless steel alloy were irradiated with 3.2 MeV protons at 360 °C to doses of 1.0 and 2.5 dpa. Following irradiation, post-irradiation anneals were performed at temperatures ranging from 400 to 650 °C for times between 45 and 90 min. Grain boundary composition was measured using scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry in both as-irradiated and annealed samples. The dislocation loop population and radiation-induced hardness were also measured in as-irradiated and annealed specimens. At all annealing temperatures above 500 °C, the hardness and dislocation densities decreased with increasing annealing time or temperature much faster than RIS. Annealing at 600 °C for 90 min removed virtually all dislocation loops while leaving RIS virtually unchanged. Cracking susceptibility in the CP-304 alloy was mitigated rapidly during post-irradiation annealing, faster than RIS, dislocation loop density or hardening. That the cracking susceptibility changed while the grain boundary chromium composition remained essentially unchanged indicates that Cr depletion is not the primary determinator for IASCC susceptibility. For the same reason, the visible dislocation microstructure and radiation-induced hardening are also not sufficient to cause IASCC alone.

One important issue for the moving liquid is the ability to entrain particles that strike the PFC surface (helium and hydrogen isotopes) while accommodating high heat loads. To study this problem, an analytical model and a two-dimensional comprehensive numerical model have been developed and implemented in the HEIGHTS computer simulation package. The models take into account the kinetics of particle injection, motion and interactions with the liquid lattice, and the ultimate release from the surface. The models were used to investigate an important issue, whether He particles can be pumped by the PFC liquid rather than requiring a standard vacuum system. Hydrogen isotope (DT) particles that strike the surface will likely be trapped in the liquid–metal surface (e.g., lithium) due to the high chemical solubility of hydrogen. The impinging He particles in the established low-recycling regime at PFCs could be harder to pump using the standard vacuum pumping techniques. The analysis results indicate a reasonable chance of adequate helium self-trapping in flowing lithium as PFC without active pumping.

The characterization of membrane proteins from this and other pathogens may yield a better understanding of the mechanisms of infection and information useful for vaccine design. Characterization of the highly hydrophobic Borrelia outer membrane component P13 from a mutant (OspA− OspB− OspC− and OspD−) strain was undertaken by use of a combination of mass spectrometric methods. In a previous investigation, an electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrum of the intact protein provided an average molecular weight that was 20 Da lower than the predicted molecular weight. The mass deviation could be explained by a modification of the N-terminus of the protein such as pyroglutamylation (−17 Da) in combination with the experimental error of measurement, however more information was required. New structural information for this membrane protein was provided by peptide mapping with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) and sequencing with ESI-quadrupole-TOF tandem MS. ESI Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) MS at 9.4 tesla revealed that the Borrelia membrane protein is not only pyroglutamylated, but also contains an amino acid substitution near the N-terminus.

The approximation of a weak perturbation of well resolved peaks has been used. Both the low- and high-pressure limits for Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) operation have been considered. We have found that the shifts can be either negative or positive, depending on the initial phase and/or the choice of the time-domain interval. The magnitude of shifts generally does not exceed the peak width. In the approximation of small perturbations the shifts produced by multiple peaks are additive. We have compared theoretical results with experimental shifts for isotopic clusters of multiply charged insulin. Up to 1 ppm frequency variations were experimentally observed for the insulin 5+ charge state, consistent with theoretical estimates. The peak interference is of particular significance in the case of bio-molecular mass spectra having a large number of peaks and covering a considerable dynamic range (i.e., relative abundance). We conclude that the common mass measurement procedure based on the location of the magnitude mode maxima of well resolved peaks can result in systematic mass measurement errors. The relationships obtained provide corrections for the frequency shifts and thus improve the mass measurement accuracy.

For a pyramidal indenter, the hardness measured in crystalline materials usually increases with decreasing depth of penetration, which is known as the indentation size effect. Spherical indentation also shows an indentation size effect. However, for a spherical indenter, hardness is not affected by depth, but increases with decreasing sphere radius. The correlation for pyramidal and spherical indenter shapes is based on geometrically necessary dislocations and work-hardening. The Nix and Gao indentation size effect model (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 46 (1998) 411) for conical indenters is extended to indenters of various shapes and compared to the experimental results.

Conventional electronics technology relies on the charges of electrons and holes for this purpose. Signals consist of voltage pulses, each of which is a bundle of charged carriers. Furthermore, conventional digital electronics is classical in nature in that bits are defined in terms of such discrete charge pulses. Here, a ‘1’ bit may be represented by a negative voltage pulse whereas a ‘0’ bit would be the absence of such a pulse.Devices continue to diminish in size in order to achieve higher speeds. As this shrinkage occurs, design parameters are impacted in such a way that the materials in current use are pushed to their limits. Moore’s Law states that the logic density, or amount of storable information per unit area, in silicon-based integrated circuits doubles every 18 months.

During antiretroviral therapy, most of this virus disappears after six months of treatment, suggesting that FDC-associated virus has little influence on the eventual outcome of long-term therapy. However, a recent theoretical study using a stochastic model for the interaction of HIV with FDCs indicated that some virus may be retained on FDCs for years, where it can potentially reignite infection if treatment is interrupted. In that study, an approximate expression was used to estimate the time an individual virion remains on FDCs during therapy. Here, we determine the conditions under which this approximation is valid, and we develop expressions for the time a virion spends in any bound state and for the effect of rebinding on retention. We find that rebinding, which is influenced by diffusion, may play a major role in retention of HIV on FDCs. We also consider the possibility that HIV is retained on B cells during therapy, which like FDCs also interact with HIV. We find that virus associated with B cells is unlikely to persist during therapy.

Although application of XAS in the hard X-ray region is now routine, the soft X-ray region (containing light-element K-edges) presents a number of experimental problems. Most of the difficulties, including surface sensitivity, restricted sample environments, and radiation damage, stem from the submicron path lengths of soft X-rays and/or electrons. X-Ray Raman scattering (XRS) provides a means for obtaining the information content of soft X-ray spectra while maintaining the experimental benefits of hard X-ray techniques. In the XRS process, an incident photon is inelastically scattered and part of its energy is transferred to excite an inner shell electron into an unoccupied state. Under the dipole approximation, the resulting features are identical to the corresponding XAS spectrum. In the past, the extremely low cross-section of XRS has made this technique impractical, but intense new X-ray facilities and improvements in X-ray optics have helped to put XRS on the brink of becoming a routine spectroscopic tool. At present, high-quality X-ray Raman spectra can be obtained in minutes to hours. X-Ray Raman spectroscopy thus represents a hard X-ray alternative to conventional XAS techniques in the study of systems with light elements, including C, N and O. In this review we describe the technique, present examples of recent work, and discuss the prospects for the future.

Polymer pendant thiacrown compounds used for the sequestration of Hg(II) from aqueous solutions have shown great promise as effective tools for remediation. Three thiacrowns that have been used for mercury chelation, [18]aneS6 and [17]aneS5-polymer (with divinylbenzene) at two Hg(II) loadings, were examined by X-ray absorption spectroscopy in an attempt to determine the bonding configuration between the sulfurs of the thiacrown and the mercury. For Hg[18]aneS6, it was found that four of the possible six crown sulfur atoms were involved in mercury bonding. For the Hg[17]aneS5-polymer, it was found that three of the possible five crown sulfur atoms were involved in mercury bonding. These thiacrown components appear to form stable mercury complexes and should be effective agents for sequestering and potential recycling of mercury from water.

Analysis of amplified products from pathogen genomic DNA using microarray hybridization allows for highly specific and sensitive detection, and allows the discrimination between true amplification products and false positive amplification products that might be derived from primers annealing to non-target sequences. Species-specific primer sets were used to amplify multiple diagnostic regions unique to each individual pathogen. Amplified products were washed over the surface of the microarray, and labelled with phycoerythrin-streptavidin for fluorescence detection. A series of overlapping 20-mer oligonucleotide probes hybridize to the entire diagnostic region, while parallel hybridizations on the same surface allow simultaneous screening for all organisms. Comparison to probes that differ by a single mismatch at the central position reduced the contribution of non-specific hybridization. Samples containing individual pathogens were analyzed in separate experiments and the corresponding species-specific diagnostic regions were identified by fluorescence among their highly redundant probe sets. On average, 91% of the 53 660 pathogen probes on the MPID microarray performed as predicted. The limit of detection was found to be as little as 10 fg of B. anthracis DNA in samples that were amplified with six diagnostic primer-pairs. In contrast, PCR products were not observed at this concentration when identical samples were prepared and visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis.

The strong temperature and field dependence of 1/ T 1 can be fitted well by using a simple model in terms of the thermal fluctuations of the total spin S=10 of the cluster originating from the spin-phonon interactions. 1/ T 1 data of protons in a partially deuterated Fe8 cluster is also reported.

However, the radiation environment within high-energy storage rings makes essential the determination of the degree of radiation sensitivity as well as the mechanisms of radiation-induced demagnetization. Sample Nd–Fe–B permanent magnets were irradiated at the Advanced Photon Source with bending magnet X-rays up to an absorbed dose of approximately 280 Mrad (1 Mrad=10kGy). Sample magnets were also irradiated with 60Co γ-rays up to an absorbed dose of 700 Mrad at the National Institute of Standards and Technology''s standard gamma irradiation facility. Changes in the residual induction were found to be within the experimental uncertainties for both the X-ray and γ-ray irradiations. Sample Nd–Fe–B permanent magnets were then irradiated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory''s Californium User Facility for Neutron Science with fast neutrons up to a total fast fluence of 1.61×1014 n/cm2, and with thermal neutrons up to a total thermal fluence of 2.94×1012 n/cm2. The fast-neutron irradiation revealed changes between residual induction measurements of the sample magnets before and after irradiation of 0.6% and greater for fast-neutron fluence levels of 2×1013 n/cm2 and above.

The Lorentz angle was measured and found to alter from 9.0° before irradiation, when the detectors operated at 150 V bias at B=1.48 T, to 3.1° after irradiation and operating at 600 V bias at 1.01 T. In addition to the effect due to magnetic field variation, this change is explained by the variation of the electric field inside the detectors arising from the different bias conditions.The depletion depths of irradiated sensors at various bias voltages were also measured. At 600 V bias 280 μm thick sensors depleted to ≈200 μm after irradiation at the design fluence of 1×1015 1 MeV neq/cm2 and were almost fully depleted at a fluence of 0.5×1015 1 MeV neq/cm2.The spatial resolution was measured for angles of incidence between and 30°. The optimal value was found to be better than 5.3 μm before irradiation and 7.4 μm after irradiation.

The 16N is produced via the (n,p) reaction on 16O in the form of CO2 gas using 14-MeV neutrons from a commercially available Deuterium-Tritium (DT) generator. The 16N is produced in a shielding pit in a utility room near the SNO cavity and transferred to the water volumes (D2O or H2O) in a CO2 gas stream via small diameter capillary tubing. The bulk of the activity decays in a decay/trigger chamber designed to block the energetic β-particles yet permit the primary branch 6.13 MeV γ-rays to exit. Detection of the coincident β-particles with plastic scintillator lining the walls of the decay chamber volume provides a tag for the SNO electronics. This paper gives details of the production, transfer, and triggering systems for this source along with a discussion of the source γ-ray output and performance.

A narrow-gap in-vacuum undulator has been proposed to be installed in one of the ALS straight sections. To realize the optimal performance of this undulator, a straight section lattice with a mini vertical beta function has been designed. Separation of electrons has been achieved by generating a sizable vertical dispersion via a local dispersion bump and a closed orbit bump. Particle tracking study shows that the modified ALS lattice for the femto-second X-ray source has an adequate dynamic aperture.

The techniques that are claimed to provide this capability use remote electromagnetic interrogation to record changes atmospheric electrostatic parameters arising from elevated radiation levels. This paper examines the physics that underlies these proposed new approaches for detecting radiation. If found to be viable for applications, the proposed techniques would be highly significant as they directly address a variety of problems in national security and environmental monitoring.

In this paper, a method is proposed to infer the degree and type of neutron and gamma ray cross talk between detectors that are placed side by side. To this end, a set of measurements was performed using the Nuclear Materials Identification System to acquire the time-dependent bicovariance functions of the pulses registered by an instrumented 252Cf source and two fast plastic scintillators. The acquired signatures were then analyzed to infer the degree and type of coincidences due to cross talk in relation to “true” coincidences given by the spontaneous fission process.

The results demonstrate that the time-dependent surface potential (negative) may be reduced in magnitude due to the charging effect of the dielectric surface, leading in turn to a reduction in the energy of the incident ions and a broadening of the implanted ion energy spectrum. The charging effect is greater during the plasma immersion bias pulse rise-time, and the electrostatic potential charging may be as large as 75% of the total applied (pulse) potential. This is due to abundant charge movement both of ions and secondary electrons, and has been confirmed by computer simulation. The plasma sheath capacitance has a small influence on the surface potential, via the bias pulse rise-time. Processing parameters, for example voltage, pulse duration, plasma density, and pulse rise-time, have a critical influence on the charging effects. Short pulse duration, high pulse frequency and low plasma density are beneficial from the viewpoint of maximizing the implantation ion energy.

Even so, little is known how such inhalants affect brain function to an extent that can lead to an abuse liability. While methodologies exist for radiolabeling certain inhalants of interest with short-lived positron emitting radioisotopes that would allow their investigation in human subjects using positron emission tomography (PET), the purification methodologies necessary to separate these volatile substances from the organic starting materials have not been developed. We’ve adapted supercritical fluid technology to this specific PET application by building a preparative-scale supercritical CO2 fluid radiochromatograph, and applied it to the purification of [11C]toluene. We’ve demonstrated that [11C]toluene can be separated from the starting materials using a conventional C18 HPLC column and pure supercritical CO2 fluid as the mobile phase operating at 2000 psi and 40°C. We’ve also shown that the purified radiotracer can be quantitatively captured on Tenax GR, a solid support material, as it exits the supercritical fluid stream, thus allowing for later desorption into a 1.5% cyclodextrin solution that is suitable for human injection, or into a breathing tube for direct inhalation.

Dyson-Schwinger equations provide a model-independent quark-level understanding and correlate that with the behaviour of the pion''s Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. This amplitude is a core element in the calculation of pion observables and combined with the dressed-quark Schwinger function required by DCSB it yields a valence-quark distribution function for the pion that behaves as (1 − x)2 for x ∼ 1, in accordance with perturbative analyses. This behaviour can be verified at contemporary experimental facilities.

The difficulty of condensed matter such as classical liquids is general absence of well-defined mesoscopic level of description which is a scaffold so to speak enabling us to jump from microscopic to macroscopic descriptions.

Measurements of O weight gain and oxidation-front velocity showed that at 450 °C the rate of O penetration into the alloy was 400 times slower than O diffusion in pure Ag. At 825 °C, this factor decreased to 60 times slower. A comparison of these results with a calculation based on a model of internal oxidation indicated that O diffusivity in pure Ag was nearly identical to O diffusivity in the alloy. The decreased O penetration rate in the alloy was attributed to O uptake by the Mg species, which are able to capture superstoichiometric amounts of O. O fixation proceeded according to predictions of the model; oxidation rate increased with partial pressure due to an increased O activity gradient. However, below 600 °C and at 0.08 atm partial pressure, O fixation progressed at a rate notably faster than that predicted by the model. This result was attributed to a change in Mg–O fixation stoichiometry, such that smaller amounts of O were absorbed, allowing the oxidation front to proceed more rapidly.

The former effect is based on miniband transport and collection of hot carriers in QD array photoelectrodes before they relax to the band edges through phonon emission. The latter effect is based on utilizing hot carriers in QD solar cells to generate and collect additional electron–hole pairs through enhanced impact ionization processes. Three QD solar cell configurations are described: (1) photoelectrodes comprising QD arrays, (2) QD-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2, and (3) QDs dispersed in a blend of electron- and hole-conducting polymers. These high-efficiency configurations require slow hot carrier cooling times, and we discuss initial results on slowed hot electron cooling in InP QDs.

Emphasis is on conceptual foundations and methodology, not practical applications. Particular attention is paid to equations and formalism appropriate to strongly magnetized, fully ionized plasmas. Extensive reference to the literature on neutral-fluid turbulence is made, but the unique properties and problems of plasmas are emphasized throughout. Discussions are given of quasilinear theory, weak-turbulence theory, resonance-broadening theory, and the clump algorithm. The direct-interaction approximation (DIA) is developed as a central focus of the article, and its relationship to the earlier plasma theories is explained. Various methods of renormalized perturbation theory are described, then unified with the aid of the generating-functional formalism of Martin, Siggia, and Rose. A general expression for the renormalized dielectric function is deduced and discussed in detail. Modern approaches such as decimation and PDF methods are described. Derivations of DIA-based Markovian closures are discussed. The eddy-damped quasinormal Markovian (EDQNM) closure is shown to be nonrealizable in the presence of waves, and a new realizable Markovian closure is presented. The test-field model and a realizable modification thereof are also summarized. Numerical solutions of various closures for some plasma-physics paradigms are reviewed. The variational approach to bounds on transport is developed. Miscellaneous topics include Onsager symmetries for turbulence, the interpretation of entropy balances for both kinetic and fluid descriptions, self-organized criticality, statistical interactions between disparate scales, and the roles of both mean and random shear. Appendices are provided on Fourier transform conventions, dimensional and scaling analysis, the derivations of nonlinear gyrokinetic and gyrofluid equations, stochasticity criteria for quasilinear theory, formal aspects of resonance-broadening theory, Novikov''s theorem, the treatment of weak inhomogeneity, the derivation of the Vlasov and gyrokinetic weak-turbulence wave kinetic equation from a fully renormalized description, some features of a code for solving the DIA and related Markovian closures, the details of the solution of the EDQNM closure for a solvable three-wave model, and the notation used in the article.

This paper presents an extensive review of the literature in V&V in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discusses methods and procedures for assessing V&V, and develops a number of extensions to existing ideas. The review of the development of V&V terminology and methodology points out the contributions from members of the operations research, statistics, and CFD communities. Fundamental issues in V&V are addressed, such as code verification versus solution verification, model validation versus solution validation, the distinction between error and uncertainty, conceptual sources of error and uncertainty, and the relationship between validation and prediction. The fundamental strategy of verification is the identification and quantification of errors in the computational model and its solution. In verification activities, the accuracy of a computational solution is primarily measured relative to two types of highly accurate solutions: analytical solutions and highly accurate numerical solutions. Methods for determining the accuracy of numerical solutions are presented and the importance of software testing during verification activities is emphasized. The fundamental strategy of validation is to assess how accurately the computational results compare with the experimental data, with quantified error and uncertainty estimates for both. This strategy employs a hierarchical methodology that segregates and simplifies the physical and coupling phenomena involved in the complex engineering system of interest. A hypersonic cruise missile is used as an example of how this hierarchical structure is formulated. The discussion of validation assessment also encompasses a number of other important topics. A set of guidelines is proposed for designing and conducting validation experiments, supported by an explanation of how validation experiments are different from traditional experiments and testing. A description is given of a relatively new procedure for estimating experimental uncertainty that has proven more effective at estimating random and correlated bias errors in wind-tunnel experiments than traditional methods. Consistent with the authors’ contention that nondeterministic simulations are needed in many validation comparisons, a three-step statistical approach is offered for incorporating experimental uncertainties into the computational analysis. The discussion of validation assessment ends with the topic of validation metrics, where two sample problems are used to demonstrate how such metrics should be constructed. In the spirit of advancing the state of the art in V&V, the paper concludes with recommendations of topics for future research and with suggestions for needed changes in the implementation of V&V in production and commercial software.

The Road Map (DOE/RW-0519) effort provided a long-range plan, involving technology development, demonstration, and deployment, as well as a recommended initial effort to evaluate the technology options for five or six years. This paper summarizes the ATW Research and Development Plan currently in draft form. Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), which are based in part on a system used by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in determining levels of flight readiness, was developed for use in assessing and advancing technologies relevant to waste transmutation. Based on TRLs and other considerations, the Program is screening technology options and prioritizing the long-term research and development effort. A top-level schedule illustrates the efforts planned to advance the important technology options in preparation for integrated system tests.

The ATW is proposed to separate the uranium from the transuranics and fission products in the LWR used fuel, to fission the transuranics, to send the LWR and ATW generated fission products to the geologic repository and to send the uranium to either a low level waste disposal site or to save it for future use. The heat liberated in fissioning the transuranics would be converted to electricity and sold to partially offset the cost of ATW construction and operations. Options for incineration of long-lived fission products are under evaluation.A six-year science-based program of ATW trade and system studies was initiated in the US FY 2000 to achieve two main purposes: (1) “to evaluate ATW within the framework of nonproliferation, waste management, and economic considerations,” and (2) “to evaluate the efficacy of the numerous technical options for ATW system configuration.”This paper summarizes the results from neutronics and thermal/hydraulics trade studies which were completed at Argonne National Laboratory during the first year of the program. Core designs were developed for Pb-Bi eutectic (LBE) cooled and Na cooled 840 MWth fast spectrum transmuter designs employing recycle. Additionally, neutronics analyses were performed at Argonne for a He cooled 600 MWth hybrid thermal and fast core design proposed by General Atomics Co. which runs critical for SHAPE="BUILT" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">34 and subcritical for SHAPE="BUILT" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">14 of its four year once-thru burn cycle.The mass flows and the ultimate loss of transuranic isotopes to the waste stream per unit of heat generated during transmutation have been calculated on a consistent basis and are compared. (Long-lived fission product incineration has not been considered in the studies reported here.)

T1 - Nuclear fuel considerations for the 21st century JO - Progress in Nuclear Energy JF - Progress in Nuclear Energy Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 40 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 513 SN - 01491970 AB - There are many external influences that may control the path that nuclear power deployment follows. In the next 50 years several events may unfold. Fear of the consequences of the greenhouse effect may produce a carbon tax that would make nuclear power economically superior very quickly. This, in turn, would increase the rate at which uranium reserves diminish due to the increased rate of nuclear power deployment. However, breakthroughs in the extraction of uranium from the sea or deployment of fast breeder reactors would greatly extend the uranium reserves and, as well, utilize the thorium cycle.On the other hand, carbon sequestering technology breakthroughs could keep fossil fuels dominant for the remainder of the century. Nuclear power may only then continue, as today, in a lesser role or even diminish. Fusion power or new developments in solar power could completely displace nuclear power as we know it today.Even more difficult to predict is when the demand for mobile fuel for transportation will develop such that hydrogen and hydrogen rich fuel cells will be in common use. When this happens, nuclear power may be the energy source of choice to produce this fuel from water or methane. In a similar vein, the demand for potable and irrigation water may be another driver for the advent of increased deployment of nuclear power.With all these possibilities of events that could happen it appears impossible to predict with any certainty which path nuclear power deployment may take. However, it is necessary to define a strategy that is flexible enough to insure that when a technology is needed, it is ready to be deployed.For the next few decades there will be an evolutionary improvement in the performance of uranium oxide and mixed uranium oxide-plutonium oxide (MOX) LWR fuels. These improvements will be market driven to keep the cost of fuel and the resulting cost of nuclear power electricity as competitive as possible. The development of fuels for accelerator transmutation and for reactor transmutation with inert matrix fuels is in its infancy. A great deal of research has been initiated in a number of countries, which has been summarized in recent conferences. In Europe the work on these fuels is directed at the same problem as their utilization of MOX; namely to reduce the inventory of separated plutonium, minor actinides, and Long Lived Fission Products (LLFP). In the United States there is no reprocessing and thus no inventory of separated civilian plutonium. However, in the United States there is a resistance to a permanent spent fuel repository and thus accelerator transmutation presents a possible alternative. If nuclear power does have a long-term future, then the introduction of the fast reactor is inevitable. Included in the mission of the fast reactors would be the elimination of the inventory of separated plutonium while generating useful energy. The work that is ongoing now on the development of fuel concepts for assemblies that contain actinides and LLFP would be useful for fast reactor transmutation.There is still a great deal of work required to bring the fast breeder reactor option to maturity. Fortunately there is perhaps a fifty-year period to accomplish this work before fast breeders are necessary. With regard to fast reactor fuel development, future work should be considered in three stages. First, all the information obtained over the past forty years of fast reactor fuel development should be completely documented in a manner that future generations can readily retrieve and utilize the information. Fast reactor development came to such an abrupt halt world-wide that a great deal of information is in danger of being lost because most of the researchers and facilities are rapidly disappearing. Secondly, for all of the existing fast reactor fuels, and this includes, oxides, carbides, nitrides, and metallic fuels, the evolutionary work was far from being completed. Although mixed oxide fuels were probably the furthest advanced, there were many concepts for improved claddings and advanced fabrication methods that were never fully explored. Finally, with such an extended period before fast reactors are needed there is ample time for truly innovative fuels to be developed that are capable of performing over a wide range of conditions and coolants.

Putting the reactor in a deep under ground a reactor heat can be removed passively not only in steady state run and also in an emergency case of loss of coolant and loss of on-site power, and safety of reactor can be improved. Also we can minimize an evacuation area, and can run the reactor near consumer area. This reduces the cost of generating electricity by eliminating the container building and shortening the transmission line.

The very large volume changes associated with electron attachment reactions have been explained as due to electrostriction by the ions, calculated with a continuum model, but modified to include the formation of a glassy shell of solvent molecules around the ion. The mobilities of electrons in cases where the electron is trapped can now be understood by comparing the trap cavity volume with the volume of electrostriction of the solvent around the cavity. In cases where the electron is quasi-free the compressibility dependent potential fluctuations are shown to be important. The isothermal compressibility is concluded to be the single most important parameter determining the behavior of excess electrons in liquids.

Polymeric materials (plastics and rubbers) comprise a steadily increasing proportion of the municipal and industrial waste going into landfill. Development of technologies for reducing polymeric waste, which are acceptable from the environmental standpoint, and which are cost-effective, has proven to be a difficult challenge due to complexities inherent in the reuse of polymers. Establishing optimal processes for the reuse/recycling of polymeric materials thus remains a worldwide challenge as we enter the new century.Due to the ability of ionizing radiation to alter the structure and properties of bulk polymeric materials, and the fact that it is applicable to essentially all polymer types, irradiation holds promise for impacting the polymer waste problem. The three main possibilities for use of radiation in this application are: (1) enhancing the mechanical properties and performance of recovered materials or material blends, principally through crosslinking, or through surface modification of different phases being combined; (2) treatment causing or enhancing the decomposition of polymers, particularly through chain scission, leading to recovery of either low molecular weight mixtures, or powders, for use as chemical feedstocks or additives; (3) production of advanced polymeric materials designed for environmental compatibility. This paper provides an overview of the polymer recycling problem, describes the major technological obstacles to the implementation of recycling technologies, and outlines some of the approaches being taken. A review of radiation-based recycling research is then provided, followed by a discussion of future directions where irradiation may be relevant to the problems currently inhibiting the widespread recycling of polymeric materials.

The use of three-dimensional data is essential for human motion analysis; however, the speed of complete range estimation prohibits from including it in most real-time systems. This work describes a gesture-tracking system using real-time local range on-demand. The system represents a gesture-controlled interface for interactive visual exploration of large data sets. The paper describes a method performing range processing only when necessary and where necessary. Range data is processed only for non-static regions of interest. This is accomplished by a set of filters on the color, motion, and range data. The speed-up achieved is between 1.70 and 2.15. The algorithm also includes a robust skin-color segmentation insensitive to illumination changes. Selective range processing results in dynamic regional range images that contain only information needed by the system.

The objective of this article is to provide a decision framework to specify initial and follow-up actions, including possible decontamination, and to address long-term health and environmental issues. This decision framework consists of four phases, beginning with the identification of an incident and ending with verification that cleanup and remediation criteria have been met. The flowchart takes into account both differences and similarities among potential agents or toxins at key points in the decisionmaking process. Risk evaluation and communication of information to the public must be done throughout the process to ensure a successful effort.

Since hydrogen is an especially favorable element for exploiting QENS due to the considerable difference in coherent and incoherent scattering of hydrogen vs. deuterium, the results are compared to our previous data on hydrogenated materials with the same composition. The dynamics of the polymer, shown to be closely coupled to those of the Li ions, can be probed over a time scale ranging from pico- to nanoseconds by combining QENS and neutron spin-echo spectrometry (NSES). Finally, good agreement is found between the measured coherent and incoherent intermediate scattering functions for PEO and those obtained from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Li-ion mobility in the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) host is found to increase on the addition of the nanoparticle; the effect is also noticeable for the alumina slab. This can be seen as theoretical confirmation of the positive influence of nanoparticles on ion mobility in a PEO–salt system, as observed earlier experimentally. Other effects observed are related to this Li-ion mobility enhancement: PEO forms an immobilised coordination sphere around the particle and an immobilised layer at the surface of the α-alumina slab. No Li ions are found near the particle or at the slab surface. Instead, two to three unpaired BF4− anions are found attached to the particle within the region of immobilised PEO and at least one is found immobilised on the slab surface, leaving free Li ions in the regions away from the particle and slab surfaces. No more than 60% of the Li ions form ion pairs and ion clusters in the regions away from the particle surface and up to 87% of the Li ions form ion pairs and ion clusters in the regions away from the slab surface.

A variety of pre-treatments such as UV/O3 or in situ heating were employed prior to the dielectric deposition. Under optimized conditions, the MgO produced an increase in drain–source current, threshold voltage and extrinsic transconductance, which is consistent with passivation of surface states in the AlGaN. The absence of hydrogen in the dielectrics makes them attractive candidates for long-term stable passivation of the HEMTs.

The defect density in the structures grown on the AlN/SiC template is significantly lower than those grown on sapphire, as measured by transmission electron microscopy. Reverse breakdown voltages above 40 V were obtained for 0.25 μm gate length devices on both types of substrate. Extrinsic transconductances of 200 mS/mm for HEMTs on sapphire and 125 mS/mm for devices on AlN/SiC were achieved, with the latter devices showing significantly lower self-heating effects. Both types of HEMTs showed similar trends of drain current and transconductance with increasing temperature. There was a clear signature of optical phonon scattering as the dominant scattering mechanism from room temperature to 300 °C.

An improved band-gap engineering design at both emitter–base and base–collector heterojunctions in this GaAs-based HBT structure allows significant turn-on voltage reduction up to 270 mV compared to conventional InGaP/GaAs HBTs, while attaining high-speed performance. Self-aligned devices with emitter active area of 3×5 μm2 show cutoff frequency fT and maximum oscillation frequency fMAX values of 32 and 52 GHz, respectively. These results demonstrate the strong potential of this novel HBT technology to reduce power consumption in future wireless handsets using the GaAs manufacturing platform.

The complexes studied were tetraphenylporphyrinatomanganese(III) chloride (MnTPPCl), phthalocyanatomanganese(III) chloride (MnPcCl), and (8,12-diethyl-2,3,7,13,17,18-hexamethylcorrolato)manganese(III) (MnCor). We demonstrate the ability to obtain both field-oriented (single-crystal like) spectra and true powder pattern HFEPR spectra of solid samples. The latter are obtained by immobilizing the powder, either in an n-eicosane mull or KBr pellet. We can also obtain frozen solution HFEPR spectra with good signal-to-noise, and yielding the expected true powder pattern. Frozen solution spectra are described for MnTPPCl in 2:3 (v/v) toluene/CH2Cl2 solution and for MnCor in neat pyridine (py) solution. All of the HFEPR spectra have been fully analyzed using spectral simulation software and a complete set of spin Hamiltonian parameters has been determined for each complex in each medium. Both porphyrinic complexes (MnTPPCl and MnPcCl) are rigorously axial systems, with similar axial zero-field splitting (zfs): D≈−2.3 cm−1, and g values quite close to 2.00. In contrast, the corrole complex, MnCor, exhibits slightly larger magnitude, rhombic zfs: D≈−2.6 cm−1, &z.sfnc;E&z.sfnc;≈0.015 cm−1, also with g values quite close to 2.00. These results are discussed in terms of the molecular structures of these complexes and their electronic structure. We propose that there is a significant mixing of the triplet (S=1) excited state with the quintet (S=2) ground state in Mn(III) complexes with porphyrinic ligands, which is even more pronounced for corroles.

Pure metal single crystals and well-characterized bulk alloys have been used quite successfully as models for real (commercial) electrocatalysts. Given the sheer volume of all work in electrocatalysis that is on fuel cell reactions, we will focus on electrocatalysts for fuel cells. Since Pt is the model fuel cell electrocatalyst, we will focus entirely on studies of pure Pt and Pt bimetallic alloys. The electrode reactions discussed include hydrogen oxidation/evolution, oxygen reduction, and the electrooxidation of carbon monoxide, formic acid, and methanol. Surface spectroscopies emphasized are FTIR, STM/AFM and surface X-ray scattering (SXS). The discussion focuses on the relation between the energetics of adsorption of intermediates and the reaction pathway and kinetics, and how the energetics and kinetics relate to the extrinsic properties of the model system, e.g. surface structure and/or composition. Finally, we conclude by discussing the limitations that are reached by using pure metal single crystals and well-characterized bulk alloys as models for real catalysts, and suggest some directions for developing more realistic systems.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 38 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 9-1 EP - 9-15 SN - 00431397 AB - We consider steady state unsaturated flow in bounded, randomly heterogeneous soils under the influence of random boundary and source terms. Our aim is to predict pressure heads and fluxes without resorting to Monte Carlo simulation, upscaling, or linearization of the constitutive relationship between unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and pressure head. We represent this relationship through Gardner's exponential model while treating its exponent α as a random constant and saturated hydraulic conductivity K s as a spatially correlated random field. We linearize the steady state unsaturated flow equations by means of the Kirchhoff transformation and integrate them in probability space to obtain exact integro-differential equations for the conditional mean and variance-covariance of transformed pressure head and flux. After approximating these equations recursively to second order in the standard deviation σ Y of Y = ln K s, we solve them by finite elements for superimposed mean uniform and divergent flows in the vertical plane, with and without conditioning on measured Y values. Comparison with Monte Carlo solutions demonstrates that whereas our nonlocal solution is nominally restricted to mildly nonuniform media with σ Y2 ≪ 1, it yields remarkably accurate results for strongly nonuniform media with σ Y2 at least as large as 2. This accords well with a previous theoretical analysis, which shows that the solution may remain asymptotic for values of σ Y2 as large as 2.

The Zr ion implantation was done using a metal vapor vacuum arc (Mevva) broad-beam ion source, with a mean ion energy of 130 keV and at doses of 3.6×1016, 5×1016 and 1×1017 ions/cm2. Wear, friction and hardness of the implanted samples were measured and compared to the performance of unimplanted steel. The wear resistance was increased by about a factor of two, the friction remained about the same or was possibly increased by a small amount and the near-surface hardness was improved by a factor of five or more by the ion implantation. We also investigated the effect on the Zr implantation profile of the multi-component energy distribution of the ion beam.

A piece of the grinding wheel was removed after truing and grinding to enable the examination of wheel surface and measurement of diamond protrusion heights using a SEM and stereographic imaging software. The stereographic SEM imaging method was calibrated by comparing with the profilometer measurement results. On the wheel surface after wire EDM truing and before grinding, some diamond grain protruding heights were measured in the 32 μm level. Comparing to the 54 μm average size of the diamond grain, this indicated that over half of the diamond was exposed. During the wire EDM process, electrical sparks occur between the metal bond and EDM wire, which leaves the diamond protruded in the gap between the wire electrode and wheel. These protruding diamond grains with weak bond to the wheel were fractured under a light grinding condition. After heavy grinding, the diamond protrusion heights were estimated in the 5–15 μm range above the wear flat. A cavity created by grinding debris erosion wear of the wheel bond could be identified around the diamond grain.

Thermal cycling results in enhanced densification kinetics as compared to isothermal compaction at the upper cycle temperature. Using mechanistic models of initial-stage powder densification, the experimental data are analyzed to reveal the creep stress-exponent and activation energy of the dominant densification mechanism. Consequently, the observed densification enhancement during thermal cycling is confirmed to be due to internal stress plasticity, which is produced by internal mismatch stresses between adjacent zinc grains with anisotropic thermal expansion.

The experimental data were compared with numerical predictions obtained from a self-consistent elasto-plastic model for the simulation of polycrystal deformation. A cyclic hardening law was developed and implemented into the modelling scheme, providing theoretical predictions in good agreement with experimental observations.

The vibrational distribution formed appears much colder than the distribution resulting from gas-phase photodissociation of CH3I. Measurements of the surface reaction cross-section versus photon exposure and time-of-flight (TOF) studies of the CH3 translational energy suggest that the colder temperature is attributable to dissociative electron attachment (DEA) by photoemitted substrate electrons.

FZ growth is thus a useful tool for the study of defect and impurity effects on material properties such as minority charge carrier lifetime τ or photovoltaic efficiency η using controlled samples in which specific defects or impurities are deliberately introduced into the high-purity, low-defect baseline material, as desired. We have used this tool for defect studies on grain size, dislocations, silicon self interstitial clusters, and fast-cooling defects, as well as for impurity studies on H, N, Fe, p-type dopants, and interactions between Fe and Ga. Float zoning was conducted in vacuum or pure argon using induction heating at 2 MHz. The ASTM F28-91 photoconductive decay method was used to measure τ after growth. Arrays of isolated diagnostic solar cell devices were used to characterize defect and impurity effects on photovoltaic parameters.

Sep. (1989) 187]. In order to investigate the regeneration behaviour and the operational performance of partially regenerated, rigid gas cleaning filter media over many filtration cycles, experiments were performed in a filter test rig. The regeneration behaviour of the filter sample was characterized by the overall regeneration efficiency, the local frequency of regeneration, and the number and size of regenerated filter areas. Using only four adjustable parameters, our modelling results compare favourably with our experimental results, at room temperature. This favourable comparison of the regeneration behaviour between modelling and experiment is achieved only if it is assumed that cohesive and adhesive bonds, which are broken during filter regeneration, do not heal during the next filtration cycle. Assuming otherwise would cause (i) the dust cake to be removed at the same positions during every regeneration and (ii) the patch size to increase from cycle to cycle instead of decreasing as seen in the experiment. Therefore, the model development was guided by our extensive experimental results. This agreement of modelling with experiment indicates that the modelling has real predictive capabilities for operational filter cleaning. Both filter conditioning and dust cake compression significantly influence the operational performance of partially regenerated filter media.

Label-free binding assays with optical detection based on reflectometric interference spectroscopy were performed to determine these constants. Different evaluation methods for kinetic measurements were compared. Also, cross-reactivity against two other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chrysene and pyrene, was checked. The affinity constant between the antibodies and benzo[a]pyrene in homogeneous phase was determined to be K=(5.3±0.3)×107 M−1 which was in the middle of the usual range of antibody affinities. The association rate constant for the reaction at the surface was determined to be (3.8±0.9)×105 M−1 s−1, the dissociation rate constant as (9.7±0.5)×10−3 s−1. Different evaluation methods applied to the kinetic measurements led to the same results. This antiserum would be suitable for the selective determination of benzo[a]pyrene in concentrated samples.

Two adsorption states were found with very different growth, stability, and vibrational fingerprints. Vibrational characterization resolves small shifts in the positions of some of the peaks when the species were in an ordered layer. On some adsorption sites with reduced symmetry, the vibrational spectra show additional modes. Their observation is attributed to a distortion of the geometry of the adsorbed species.

For the SRF control system to track the repetitive electromagnetic field reference trajectory, both feedback and feedforward controllers have been proposed. The feedback controller is utilized to guarantee the closed loop system stability and the feedforward controller is used to improve the tracking performance for the repetitive reference trajectory and to suppress repetitive disturbances. As the iteration number increases, the feedforward controller decreases the tracking error. Numerical simulations demonstrate that inclusion of the feedforward controller significantly improves the control system performance over its performance with just the feedback controller.

The wear properties of the Al–Cu–Fe/UHMWPE samples and a 440 steel ball counterface were measured. The mechanical strength of the Al–Cu–Fe/UHMWPE composites was compared to UHMWPE and alumina/UHMWPE. The biocompatibility of the composite material was tested using a direct contact cytotoxicity assay. Al–Cu–Fe/UHMWPE demonstrated lower volume loss after wear and higher mechanical strength than UHMWPE. This composite material also showed no increase in counterface wear or cytotoxicity relative to UHMWPE. These combined results demonstrate that Al–Cu–Fe/UHMWPE composites are promising candidate materials for acetabular cup prosthetics.

Much of the focus has been on zeolite-based catalysts for the conversion of NOx to N2 for automotive exhaust emission control. Under certain conditions, these catalysts are highly active catalysts for the reduction of NOx using hydrocarbons as the reductant. However, many of these catalysts suffer from a variety of deactivation processes such as irreversible poisoning by SOx or hydrothermal dealumination.In addition to these deactivation processes, a recent focus of our research has been on the influence of water vapor on the activity of zeolite-based catalysts at low operating temperatures. We observe a hysteresis in catalytic activity of lean NOx reduction (NO feed concentrations <100 ppm) upon increasing and decreasing temperature ramps at the low end of the operating window, that being from 100 to 300 °C using hydrocarbons as reductants. We describe these reversible influences of water vapor and the implications for this hysteresis in catalytic activity for the application of zeolite-based catalysts in lean NOx catalysis, and compare these results to the instance of using ammonia as reductant.

This study applies a single equation LES to Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) simulations of Rayleigh–Taylor instability and investigates its effects. Behavior of LES is similar for Eulerian and ALE simulations for the test problem studied. However, the motion of the mesh can be tied to the subgrid scale model in the form of a relaxation weight based on subgrid scale energy. This increases mesh resolution in areas of high subgrid scale energy.

The principal pathways within this system are fractures that penetrate the tuff. Large fractures that host deep root penetration provide a setting in which clay deposits accumulate through particulate or colloidal migration from the soil zone. Clays throughout the system are predominantly expandable interstratified illite/smectites (I/S), but clays of the tuff matrix at depth are distinctly Fe-rich and are not mixed with clays transported from the surface into fractures. Chemical alteration superimposed on clay particles transported into fractures results in clays with lower Al : Si ratios, higher Na, and higher lanthanide content with increasingly negative Eu anomalies with depth. These changes are accompanied by invasion and precipitation of Mn oxides, principally birnessite, within clay bodies. Investigation of the Mn oxides by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) shows that Mn is associated with Ba, Ce, Ni, and Pb. In addition, synchrotron X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra show that Ce in Mn oxides occurs as Ce3+ and Ce4+, with average Ce oxidation state of ∼3.75. The Mn oxides intergrown with clays actively participate in removal of Ce from solution, accompanied by oxidation of Ce3+ to Ce4+. Other lanthanides are accumulated by the clays but are not concentrated along with Ce in the Mn oxides. Extraction of Ce from solution by Mn oxides is more effective than lanthanide accumulation in clay, a process that is variable and likely influenced by defects, extent of recrystallization, and particle sizes. This dichotomy in lanthanide interaction results in locally constant Ce content but either negative or positive Ce anomalies in the clay-Mn oxide system as a consequence of variability in the abundance of the other lanthanides. Nevertheless, the net lanthanide pattern for the sum of all clay-Mn oxide samples in either shallow or deep fractures has no Ce anomaly, indicating that other lanthanides segregated from Ce are not transported beyond the range of either the shallow or deep fracture systems. Evidence from Eu anomalies indicates that lanthanides accumulated in the fracture clays are acquired from the local tuff. The clay-Mn oxide assemblage is more effective than clay alone in accumulating of a wide variety of heavy metals.

Our results indicate that the maximum ionization efficiency of thorium, a notoriously difficult element to ionize thermally, in the present TIC-TOFMS system is about 1–3%. This represents a 10–30× enhancement of the typical Th sample utilization for conventional, Re filament-based, thermal ionization mass spectrometry sources. Thorium samples were small (0.075–25 ng), therefore, analytical blanks for Th in the tungsten TIC were also measured and subtracted from the total Th ion signal arriving at the detector. Prominent peaks that correspond to multiply-charged (2+ and 3+) tungsten ions are always evident in high-temperature (>2400 °C) spectra. Furthermore, TIC-TOFMS spectra also contained peaks corresponding to elements with ionization potentials in excess of 8 eV, such as beryllium. The presence of multiply-charged tungsten peaks, and beryllium peaks, are indicative of significant ionization via non-thermal processes, such as electron impact, in or near the TIC.

Yttrium, neodymium, and gadolinium oxides, having the same nominal dissociation energy (D0 ≈ 735 kJ mol−1) but different masses, provide an empirical correction of −1.2 s−1 amu−1 for the measured CID rates. The CID rate correction enables the correlation of bond dissociation energy with CID rate, allowing quantitative determinations of bond dissociation energies for lanthanide metal monoxide ions. For bond dissociation energies in the range of 567–849 kJ mol−1, mass corrected rates range from 50 to 120 s−1. The calibration sensitivity is equivalent to 5 kJ mol−1 s−1, and the measurement precision is ∼25 kJ mol−1. Bond energy determinations are found to agree with the average values reported for lanthanide oxide ions.

In 1996, Greenpeace reported that leakage of radionuclides, 241Am and 239+240Pu, from these underground tests to the terrestrial and freshwater environments had been detected. In response to this report, a federal, state, tribal and non-governmental team conducted a terrestrial and freshwater radiological sampling program in 1997. Additional radiological sampling was conducted in 1998. An assessment of the reported leakage to the freshwater environment was evaluated by assessing 3 H values in surface waters and 240Pu/239Pu ratios in various sample media. Tritium values ranged from 0.41 Bq/l±0.11 two sigma to 0.74 Bq/l±0.126 two sigma at the surface water sites sampled, including the reported leakage sites. Only at the Long Shot test site, where leakage of radioactive gases to the near-surface occurred in 1965, were higher 3H levels of 5.8 Bq/l±0.19 two sigma still observed in 1997, in mud pit #3. The mean 240Pu/239Pu for all of the Amchitka samples was 0.1991±0.0149 one standard deviation, with values ranging from 0.1824±1.43% one sigma to 0.2431±6.56% one sigma.The measured 3H levels and 240Pu/239Pu ratios in freshwater moss and sediments at Amchitka provide no evidence of leakage occurring at the sites reported by Buske and Miller (1998 Nuclear-Weapons-Free America and Alaska Community Action on Toxics, Anchorage, Ak, p. 38) and Miller and Buske (1996 Nuclear Flashback: The Return to Anchitka, p. 35). It was noted that the marine sample; 240Pu/239Pu ratios are statistically different than the global fallout ratios presented by Krey et al. (1976) and Kelley, Bond, and Beasley (1999). The additional non-fallout component 240Pu/239Pu ratio, assuming a single unique source, necessary to modify the global fallout 240Pu/239Pu ratio to that measured in the marine samples is on the order of 0.65 (Hameedi, Efurd, Harmon, Valette-Silver, & Robertson, 1999; Kelley et al., 1999). While this potentially suggests another plutonium source, such as high burn-up nuclear reactor fuel, rather than underground nuclear tests, the uncertainties in analyses and environmental processes need to be fully assessed before any conclusion can be reached.Further work is needed to evaluate these findings and to support any radiological assessment of the marine environment surrounding Amchitka. Based on geohydrological testing and modeling, leakage from the Amchitka Underground Nuclear Tests is projected to occur to the marine environment (Claassen, 1978; Fenske, 1972; Wheatcraft, 1995).

Nanocrystals were obtained after implantation of monoenergetic Cd and S ions and subsequent annealing in a very wide range of annealing temperatures, Ta. The average size, as determined from the blue shift of band gap Eg, varied from 3.5–4.5 to 10 nm, depending on implantation and annealing parameters. For the highest dose, 1017 ions/cm2, the synthesis of CdS phase starts already during implantation. For Ta above 700 °C, large nanocrystals (9–10 nm) prevail for all doses. High energy optical transitions, identified as the E1A and E1B transitions of hexagonal CdS, were also observed after annealings at higher temperature.

Previously we showed that amorphous silicon was an ideal matrix for photonic engineering because of the ease by which the refractive index can be controlled through in situ or ex situ hydrogen content manipulation. Concurrently we have been investigating the optical properties changes associated with the light-induced degradation of amorphous silicon materials. These investigations have identified a wide range of light-induced effects with far reaching prospects for photonic engineering. These changes include a slow light-induced reversible change related to structural change and a fast reversible light-induced changes thought to be related to electron–photon–phonon interaction. Significant to many potential applications light-induced changes in optical properties do not significantly decrease with increasing measurement temperature (up to the ∼200 °C probed by this work).

Lower stress relief temperatures and slower cooling of the material from the stress relief temperature to room temperature both reduce the copper level in the matrix and should lead to less embrittlement during service in a nuclear reactor.

Williams in 1981. Initial studies centered around structural effects in the TMTSF salts. Since 1984, the major emphasis has been on salts of the electron donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET). Important milestones include the discovery of a number of new superconductors, among them: β-(ET) 2 IBr 2 (T c =2.8 K) and β-(ET) 2 AuI 2 (T c =4-5 K). These salts led to the first structure-properties relationship in ET salts. κ-(ET) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]Br (T c =11.8 K, ambient pressure) and κ-(ET) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]Cl (T c =12.5 K at 0.3 kbar pressure) are still the cation radical superconductors with the highest known transition temperatures. The families of κ L - and κ H -(ET) 2 [M(CF 3 ) 4 ](solvent) salts (T c =2-11 K) yielded at least 25 new closely related organic superconductors with M=Cu, Ag, Au, and solvent=1,1,2-trihaloethane. β″-(ET) 2 SF 5 CH 2 CF 2 SO 3 (T c =5 K) was the first superconductor where both the radical cation and the charge balancing anion were organic. Recent results in the synthesis and characterization of ET salts with anions similar to SF 5 CH 2 CF 2 SO 3 - are presented. organic superconductors bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene history [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Molecular Crystals & Liquid Crystals Science & Technology, Section A: Molecular Crystals & Liquid Crystals is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Whilst quadrupole lenses provide the strong field necessary for focusing MeV ions, they also have higher intrinsic spherical and chromatic aberrations, and also higher parasitic aberrations than found in solenoid lenses. Given the fundamentally superior spatial resolution which is attainable using solenoids, their use in a two-stage microprobe system comprising a magnetic quadruplet and a solenoid lens as the first and second demagnifying stages respectively is studied here. Calculated results are compared with a two-stage system comprising two quadruplets and also with an existing single-stage system.

To accomplish this, energy is transferred from a long drive pulse at frequency ωpump to an intense seed pulse at frequency ωseed, with a Langmuir plasma wave at frequency wp mediating the transfer; the frequencies are chosen to satisfy the resonant condition ωp=ωpump−ωseed. Diffraction of the pulses limits the interaction length in a uniform plasma, and hence the energy transfer between the pulses. However in a parabolic plasma density channel it is shown, through two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, that such a plasma channel can be used to guide both the amplified and drive pulses over an interaction distance much greater than a diffraction length. The seed pulse is amplified by a factor of more than 200 in energy for pulses whose widths are matched to the channel size, and achieve a peak intensity of more than 6×1017 W/cm2. Unmatched pump pulses are seen to generate much smaller gain.

A new exclusion plot, σ(m), has been derived for WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interactions. To obtain this result, 40 days of data from the IGEX detector (energy threshold Ethr∼4 keV), recently collected, have been analyzed. These data improve the exclusion limits derived from all the other ionization germanium detectors in the mass region from 20 to 200 GeV, where a WIMP supposedly responsible for the annual modulation effect reported by the DAMA experiment would be located. The new IGEX exclusion contour enters, by the first time, the DAMA region by using only raw data, with no background discrimination, and excludes its upper left part. It is also shown that with a moderate improvement of the detector performances, the DAMA region could be fully explored.

The Higgs doublets are zero modes of bulk SU(3)W triplets and serve to normalize the hypercharge generator, apparently giving a tree-level prediction for the weak mixing angle: sin2θ=1/4. The orbifold boundary conditions imply a restricted set of SU(3)W gauge transformations: at an orbifold fixed point only the transformations of SU(2)L×U(1)Y are operative. This allows quarks to be located at this fixed point, overcoming the longstanding problem of how to incorporate matter in a unified SU(3)W theory. However, in general this local, explicit breaking of SU(3)W symmetry, necessary for including quarks into the theory, destroys the tree-level prediction for the weak mixing angle. This apparent contradiction is reconciled by making the volume of the extra dimension large, diluting the effects of the local SU(3)W violation. In the case that the electroweak theory is strongly coupled at the cutoff scale of the effective theory, radiative corrections to the weak mixing angle can be reliably computed, and used to predict the scale of compactification: 1–2 TeV without supersymmetry, and in the region of 3–6 TeV for a supersymmetric theory. The experimental signature of electroweak unification into SU(3)W is a set of “weak partners” of mass 1/2R, which are all electrically charged and are expected to be accessible at LHC. These include weak doublets of gauge particles of electric charge (++,+), and a charged scalar. When pair produced, they yield events containing multiple charged leptons, missing large transverse energy and possibly Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons.

Neutron diffraction was used to investigate residual stresses and the effect of annealing in cold-rolled stainless steel, a two-phase material consisting of 62 vol% austenite and the rest deformation-induced martensite. The specimens were prepared by cold rolling of AISI 301 stainless steel with 48% reduction. The grain-orientation-dependent residual stress, or inter-granular stress, was determined by constructing the stress orientation distribution function, a recently developed concept, from the residual strains measured along various crystallographic directions. For the cold-rolled sample, a strong grain orientation anisotropy was observed for residual stresses in both phases. Detailed analysis of the experimental stress and texture data indicates that the observed orientation anisotropy was caused by the selective phase transformation that occurred during cold rolling. Annealing at 500°C leads to recovery, which significantly reduces the orientation anisotropy of the residual stress. The experimental data show that the recovery dynamics in the austenite and martensite phases are quite different. It appears that the overall recovery behavior in this two-phase material is driven by the martensite phase.

The formation and evolution of defects during fatigue was determined by positron annihilation lifetimes and electron momentum distributions in a series of samples. We find an initial rapid change in the defect concentrations that saturates around 10% of the cycles to failure into two distinct open-volume defect populations that both trap the positrons. Analysis of the momentum distributions of atomically bound electrons demonstrates that one of the defects has high levels of carbon decoration. Electron momentum distributions also show evolution in the carbon decoration of the defects with increasing fatigue all the way to failure.

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a convenient format to conduct these analyses. Measurements could be significantly improved if a SPME phase selective for nerve agents were substituted for non-selective polymers typically used (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane). This paper evaluates a novel stationary phase, previously developed for methylphosphonate sensor applications, for use with SPME sampling. The phenol-based polymer, BSP3, was found to offer far higher selectivity toward sarin (GB) than polydimethylsiloxane due to a pronounced affinity toward the target analyte and a lower affinity toward hydrocarbons.

Der p 2 allergen was solved at 2.15 A˚ resolution using the MAD phasing technique, and refined to an R-factor of 0.209. The refined atomic model, which reveals an immunoglobulin-like tertiary fold, differs in important ways from the previously described NMR structure, because the two β-sheets are significantly further apart and create an internal cavity, which is occupied by a hydrophobic ligand. This interaction is structurally reminiscent of the binding of a prenyl group by a regulatory protein, the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange inhibitor. The crystal structure suggests that binding of non-polar molecules may be essential to the physiological function of the Der p 2 protein.

The results show that solvent ratio has negligible impact on the performance of both electrodes but does affect the issues of thermal compatibility and ionic conductivity. Salt concentration affects the performance in two reverse ways: LiMn2O4 cathode requires low concentration, while graphite anode requires high concentration. It is observed that, during the first cycle, both electrodes produce irreversible capacity and form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on their surface. From the view point of operation at low temperatures, 1 M LiPF6 3:7 EC–EMC is recommended for Li-ion cells.

For Cu coverages of 0.025–1 ML deposited on flat, freshly annealed surfaces, preferential nucleation occurs at the step edges oriented perpendicular to the [1 1 0] atomic row direction. Exclusively three-dimensional (3D) islands have been observed at all coverages. For comparison, the same Cu coverages were deposited onto the surface contaminated by adsorption from the residual gas in the ultrahigh vacuum chamber. Both 2D and 3D islands, randomly distributed across the terraces, were observed reproducibly on such slightly contaminated surfaces. The density of the islands, as well as their average diameter and height, increases with increasing Cu coverage for both surface preparations.

The surface structure is found to exhibit multilayer relaxation following the trend − − + ( is contraction and + is expansion in the interlayer spacing). The magnitude of interplanar relaxation is found to be damped, where |Δd12|>|Δd23|>|Δd34|, etc. This kind of behavior is quite different from that observed on Al(2 1 0) [Phys. Rev.

The difference of damped multilayer relaxation behavior of Cu(2 1 0) and Al(2 1 0) could be related to a charge density oscillation perpendicular to the surface.

While crystallization of simple ternary Nd2Fe14B resulted in a highly variable microstructure and relatively poor demagnetization behavior, alloying additions, notably Ti and C, were found to significantly refine and homogenize the crystallized microstructure. High spatial resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that partitioning to the grain boundaries led to the grain refinement by slowing interface kinetics. The more homogeneous grain structure resulted in improved demagnetization behavior, but segregating elements isolated grains and limited intergranular exchange coupling.

If the magnetic field is antiparallel to the macroscopic unidirectional in-plane anisotropy, the soft layer reverses via the formation of exchange springs consisting of subdomains with opposite spin twistings. However, if the field is instead rotated in-plane, remagnetization initially proceeds via formation of a single uniform exchange spring. Then, at a critical angle, the spring incoherently untwists, leading again to subdomains with opposite chirality. These phenomena are attributed to the influence of inhomogeneity in the unidirectional magnetic anisotropy.

The as-grown OPA-MBE material forms a perfect inverse spinel, in which all Co is in the 2+ formal oxidation state, and occupies octahedral sites within the cation sublattice. The OPA-MBE film surfaces are very flat, with mean roughnesses of only a few A˚, and exhibit large, stable magnetic domains. The measured moment per unit volume is 250 emu/cm3, and the saturation magnetization for films in the 1000 A˚ film thickness range is ∼60% of that of bulk Co ferrite. The material also exhibits strain-dependent magnetic anisotropy that can be understood by considering the various contributions to the total magnetic energy. The overall quality of epitaxial Co ferrite grown on MgO by OPA-MBE is superior in every respect to that obtained using pulsed laser deposition as the growth method.

However, it is generally difficult to extract quantitative energy and angular information from such measurements because the interaction of energetic electrons with matter is rather complex. Beam calibrations and Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are often used to evaluate a flight instrument once it is built. However, rules of thumb and past experience are common tools to design the instrument in the first place. Hence, we have developed a simple numerical procedure, based on analytical probabilities, suitable for instrumental design and evaluation. In addition to the geometrical response, the contributions of surface backscattering, edge penetration, and bremsstrahlung radiation are estimated. The new results are benchmarked against MC calculations for a simple test case. Complicated effects, such as the contribution of the satellite to the instrumental response, can be estimated with the new formalism.

The method is partly based on the Fourier transform of the observed electron decay signal, which is known in this experiment only after some time ts after injection. It is shown that the standard Fourier transform would give a wrong frequency distribution even if the signal were known immediately after injection. Only the cosine Fourier transform with the properly determined initial time t0 (different for different detectors placed along the orbit) gives the correct frequency distribution in such a case. As for a later starting time, ts>t0, a special procedure must be used to find t0 and to compensate for the lack of information about the signal between t0 and ts. The new technique is highly accurate and radically different from that used by CERN in its muon g-2 experiment.

The scheme combines the intrinsic advantages of in-flight fragmentation, short delay times and universality, with those of the ISOL concept, high-quality beams of precise energy. A key component of this approach is the large stopping gas cell which utilizes DC and RF electric fields to quickly guide the radioactive ions to the exit of the cell.

The possibilities for conductive cooling are discussed, and a prototype test target is described. This target was constructed for an experiment, designed to validate the numerical analysis approaches, at the TRIUMF/ISAC facility. Fabrication issues and the results of the experiment are presented, followed by a discussion of the implications of the experiment outcome for future development of targets to produce intense beams of radioactive ions.

Multi-beam drivers capable of producing high power beams from very light to very heavy ions are now technically feasible. A challenge for such facilities is the development of production targets to be used for a variety of reaction mechanisms with beam powers of about 100 kW. This paper presents engineering concepts that have been developed recently for using liquid lithium coolant for two types of targets, one for use with light-ion beams on high atomic number (Z) targets and the other for heavy-ion beams on low-Z targets.

Both base-type and tip-type nanofibers have been produced on identical substrates. We have observed a sharp transition between these two growth modes by controlling the kinetics of the growth process without changing the substrate and catalyst materials. This transition is brought about by changing the parameters used in the deposition process such as the flow ratio of the carbonaceous and etchant gasses and others. This study of the initial growth stages as a function of time for both regimes provides a basis for a model of the growth mode transition.

Yet we know little about the neural mechanisms underlying the abuse liability of inhalants, particularly when compared to other addictive drugs. Specifically, our understanding of the relationship between the regional brain pharmacokinetics and features classically associated with drug reinforcement is lacking. Under the hypothesis that the abuse liability of toluene can be related to its pharmacokinetic properties and the pattern of regional brain uptake, we developed the methodology for radiolabeling and purifying [11C]toluene for use in PET studies. Here we report the regional brain distribution and kinetics of the widely abused solvent toluene in non-human primates and the whole body biodistribution in mice.To our knowledge, this is the first reported study of the in vivo brain pharmacokinetics of labeled toluene in non-human primates. Rapid uptake of radioactivity into striatal and frontal regions was followed by rapid clearance from the brain. Concurrent findings in rodents indicate similar radiotracer kinetics, with excretion through kidneys and liver. Taken together, our data provides insight into pharmacokinetic features possibly associated with the abuse liability of toluene.

In both films, SSM successfully observed spatial variation of magnetic field, corresponding to magnetic phase transitions with respect to chemical composition. The obtained magnetic phase diagrams basically reproduced those reported in bulk materials. However, several distinctive differences have also been noted. For instance, the region identified as a charge ordered insulator in LCMO revealed intense field, suggesting the occurrence of phase separation into ferromagnetic and non-magnetic states. These results confirm that SSM possesses sufficient analytical performance for high-throughput characterization of combinatorial magnetic libraries in composition spread form.

This PLD–CCS method uses rapid (sub-monolayer) sequential deposition of the phase spread’s constituents, whereby a pseudo-binary or pseudo-ternary phase diagram can be deposited without the need for masks or a post-anneal. Consequently, combinatorial materials synthesis can be carried out under optimized film growth conditions (e.g., complex oxides can be grown at high-temperatures). Most importantly, lifting the requirement of a post-anneal to promote interdiffusion and crystallization renders this method applicable to the growth of epitaxial heterostructures. Results are shown for the case of superlattices consisting of a repeated stacking of SrTiO3 and (SrxBa1−x)ZrO3 layers, where the parameter x varies continuously across the sample. Because all of these samples are obtained in one single deposition, and because the approach is easily generalized to pseudo-ternary systems, the PLD–CCS method results in significant timesavings for studies of epitaxial superlattices.

Some of the important materials for these renewable energy applications include semiconductors (such as for absorber layers), transparent conductors, energy storage materials and more. In this paper, we focus on the application of a combinatorial approach to two specific material areas, transparent conducting oxides and thin film Si. In the former case, libraries are generated by sputtering and in the latter by the hot-wire chemical vapor deposition. The application of a combinatorial approach to these materials areas can greatly accelerate the rate of discovery and optimization of new materials and the optimization of devices. We report on the development of tools for the production and characterization of libraries and on initial important results in both of these areas.

Sediments were characterised using on-board visual description, smear-slides analyses, grain-size composition and magnetic susceptibility (MS) records. Five tephra marker layers, identified as Ko, TR, K2, K3 and K4, were distinguished using petrological, mineralogical and geochemical analyses. Age models were developed by comparing lithological units, tephra stratigraphy and MS records with oxygen isotope curves and with records of biogenic CaCO3, opal content, and sediment grain-size composition in three AMS radiocarbon dated Okhotsk cores. This chronological framework allowed us to investigate climate control over the sedimentation regime and productivity, and to clarify the formation times of the lithological and tephra units.The data show that sediment MS variations in the south-eastern area of the glacial Okhotsk Sea arose primarily from volcanic material input. The sedimentation in all other parts of the sea was mainly controlled by the supply of terrigenous material. The cores show a tight correlation between MS, sediment grain size and climate change in the Okhotsk Sea: coarse sediments with a high MS were accumulated during the cold period-oxygen isotope stages (MIS) 2, 4, 6; fine sediments with a low ice-rafted debris (IRD) content and MS were formed in the warm isotope stages.According to the oxygen isotope stratigraphy and radiocarbon data, the Ko, TR, K2, K3 and K4 tephra were deposited at 7.7, 8.0, 26.0 kyr BP, in MIS 4 about 60–70 kyr ago, and near MIS 5.4, respectively. Comparison of tephra mineralogy, petrology, spatial distributions and ages with the history of Kurile–Kamchatka volcanism allows us to identify likely candidates for the tephra source eruptions. The combined use of MS records, tephrochronology and lithological unit sequences provides a detailed basis for Okhotsk Sea sediment stratigraphy.

Most of the previous research on this topic has focused on liquid-saturated porous media systems that are representative of aquifer sediments. Unsaturated or variably saturated systems such as soils require additional considerations that have not been fully addressed in the literature. This paper reviews some of the earlier studies on bacterial-induced changes in the hydraulic properties of saturated porous media, and discusses characteristics of unsaturated or variably saturated porous media that may be important to consider when modeling such phenomena in these systems. New data are presented from experiments conducted in sand-packed columns with initially steady unsaturated flow conditions that show significant biomass-induced changes in pressure heads and water contents and permeability reduction during growth of a Pseudomonas fluorescens bacterium.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 36 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 642 EP - 651 SN - 02786826 AB - A method has been developed for measuring profiles of aerosol mass on thin (480 μg/cm[sup 2]) Apiezon-L coated Mylar films employed in rotating drum aerosol impactor samplers using the ion beam analysis technique scanning transmission ion microscopy (STIM). The greased Mylar films are excellent impaction substrates and possess excellent uniformity in projected density, making them an ideal substrate for STIM analysis. The uniformity in projected density of a film enables STIM with a 3 MeV proton beam to produce profiles of aerosol mass with an accuracy of better than 90% and a mass sensitivity approaching 10 μg/cm[sup 2]. Further, we have extended proton elastic scattering analysis (PESA) to the same films, achieving measurement of an organic surrogate. Although the films contain ∼ 20 μg/cm[sup 2] hydrogen, the spatial uniformity in film hydrogen content enables PESA with a 3 MeV proton beam to produce profiles of hydrogen arising solely from the aerosols with an accuracy to within ± 1 μg/cm[sup 2] and a mass sensitivity of ∼ 1 μg/cm[sup 2]. These measurements when combined with synchrotron-x-ray fluorescence (S-XRF) measurements on the same film allow mass closure, sum of species versus measured mass, a key quality assurance protocol, to be approached. All 3 techniques were applied to very fine and ultra-fine particles collected in Fresno, CA, November, 2000 by slotted DRUM samplers. Temporal resolution in the resulting profiles was ≤ 6 h. The dramatic changes in composition versus size and time, and new types of elemental correlations unseen in PM[sub 2.5] filters, will be major assets in correlating aerosols and health impacts, visibility degradation, and the effects of aerosols on climate.

Lack of markets, concerns about sustained soil productivity, and lack of commercial conversion technologies have precluded the widespread harvest of corn residues for this purpose. This paper reviews existing literature to evaluate the major environmental impacts potentially associated with stover harvest from reduced tillage corn production sites. Issues of greatest concern are erosion and soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, the latter both for its role in soil quality and yield and for global carbon cycle implications. About half of the literature examined concerned research in the United States, many publications described research activities conducted for decades, and major soil types in corn producing regions were well represented. Regional differences were primarily temperature and rainfall effects on stand establishment and yield, with potential feedback effects on SOC. Several research papers discussing the effects of residue harvest were found, but few field studies were found that explicitly studied the effects of corn stover harvest and most discussions acknowledge potential tradeoffs among beneficial and adverse effects. It was concluded that more information is needed on several topics to determine potential long-term effects of residue harvest, including (1) erosion and water quality, especially pesticides and nitrate, (2) rates of transformation of different forms of SOC, (3) effects on soil biota, and (4) SOC dynamics in the subsoil.

Batch experiments were conducted at 19 and 90 °C over a pH range of 2 to 12 and Mo concentrations ranging from approximately 10−6 to 10−4 M. The extent of sorption was strongly dependent on pH and surface loading. Maximum sorption was observed in the acidic pH range at low surface loading. Adsorption behavior was described using the empirical Langmuir adsorption model. A constant capacitance surface complexation model was also used to fit the adsorption isotherms using a ligand exchange reaction for a hydroxyl surface site on anatase. Comparison of experimental data at two different temperatures (19 and 90 °C) indicates that Mo sorption in the acidic pH range decreases with increasing temperature.

The results indicated that both concentration of acid catalyst and the phenolysis temperature have an impact on the chemical composition of both the isolated oils and the solid residue, with the acid concentration having the greatest influence. The primary phenolysis reaction products included phenolics and furans. As expected, at higher acid concentrations the phenolysis products contained less carbohydrate and included more phenolic fragments. These phenolysis oils should be useful as feedstocks for the production of phenol formaldehyde resins. The py-MBMS method was found to be an effective and convenient method to understand bark phenolysis.

Over the series of experiments investigated, the initial pressure ranged from 1 to 45 atm, the temperature from 550 K to 1700 K, the equivalence ratio from 0.3 to 1.5, with nitrogen-argon dilution from 70% to 99%. This range of physical conditions, together with the measurements of ignition delay time and concentrations, provide a broad-ranging test of the chemical kinetic mechanism. This mechanism was based on our previous modeling of alkane combustion and, in particular, on our study of the oxidation of n-heptane. Experimental results of ignition behind reflected shock waves were used to develop and validate the predictive capability of the reaction mechanism at both low and high temperatures. Moreover, species’ concentrations from flow reactors and a jet-stirred reactor were used to help complement and refine the low and intermediate temperature portions of the reaction mechanism, leading to good predictions of intermediate products in most cases. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed for each of the combustion environments in an attempt to identify the most important reactions under the relevant conditions of study.

Isoforms of murine CEACAM1 serve as receptors for mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), a murine coronavirus. Here we report the crystal structure of soluble murine sCEACAM1a[1,4], which is composed of two Ig-like domains and has MHV neutralizing activity. Its N-terminal domain has a uniquely folded CC' loop that encompasses key virus-binding residues. This is the first atomic structure of any member of the CEA family, and provides a prototypic architecture for functional exploration of CEA family members. We discuss the structural basis of virus receptor activities of murine CEACAM1 proteins, binding of Neisseria to human CEACAM1, and other homophilic and heterophilic interactions of CEA family members.

Official Chinese energy consumption statistics for the steel industry include activities not directly associated with the production of steel, ‘double-count’ some coal-based energy consumption, and do not cover the entire Chinese steelmaking industry. In this paper, we make adjustements to the reported statistical data in order to provide energy use values for steel production in China that are comparable to statistics used internationally. We find that for 1996, official statistics need to be reduced by 1365 PJ to account for non-steel production activities and double-counting. Official statistics also need to be increased by 415 PJ in order to include steelmaking energy use of small plants not included in official statistics. This leads to an overall reduction of 950 PJ for steelmaking in China in 1996. Thus, the official final energy use value of 4018 PJ drops to 3067 PJ. In primary energy terms, the official primary energy use value of 4555 PJ is reduced to 3582 PJ when these adjustments are made.

The effect of mass and insulation location on heating and cooling loads is analyzed for six characteristic wall configurations. Correlations between structural and dynamic thermal characteristics of walls are discussed. A simple one-room model of a building exposed to periodic temperature changes is analyzed to illustrate the effect of material configuration on the ability of a wall to dampen interior temperature swings. Whole-building dynamic modeling using DOE-2.1E is employed for the energy analysis of a one-story residential building with various exterior wall configurations for six different US climates. The best thermal performance is obtained when massive material layers are located at the inner side and directly exposed to the interior space.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1085 EP - 1090 SN - 07307268 AB - The coupling of the valley drift (VALDRIFT) atmospheric dispersion/deposition model with the agricultural dispersal (AGDISP) aircraft wake model generates a modeling system for predicting the off-target drift of pesticides sprayed in a mountain valley. The approach uses the AGDISP near-field spray model to estimate the mass fraction of pesticide remaining airborne after initial application, then the VALDRIFT complex terrain model to estimate the drift of pesticide from the target area. The modeling system inputs include detailed spray information, a measure (or estimate) of winds in the valley, and the valley topographic characteristics; the results are pesticide concentrations throughout the valley atmosphere and pesticide deposition to the valley surface. The AGDISP and VALDRIFT models are operated independently, with the results from AGDISP being used as input to VALDRIFT through user-created data files. The modeling system was evaluated using pesticide drift data from spray trials conducted in the Mill Creek Canyon of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, USA, during the late spring of 1993. The predicted deposition compared within a factor of three of the observations (70% of the time) at all sampling locations extending several kilometers down-valley from the spray treatment block. The overall average ratio of predicted-to-observed deposition was 0.9.

Geochemical analysis of contaminated groundwater indicated subsurface anaerobiosis, reductive dechlorination of TCE to predominantly cis-1,2-dichloroethene, and (transient) accumulation of 2-ethylbutanol and 2-ethylbutyrate as a result of tetrakis(2-ethylbutoxy)silane breakdown. Comparative analysis of 106 16S rDNA and 61 16S–23S rDNA intergenic spacer region sequences – obtained from pristine and contaminated groundwater via DNA extraction, PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing – revealed that the contaminated groundwater featured (i) a distinct microbial community, (ii) reduced species diversity, (iii) various anaerobes, and (iv) bacteria closely related to the TCE-dechlorinating, dichloroethene-accumulating genus Dehalobacter, whereas (v) the TCE-dechlorinating, ethene-producing species Dehalococcoides ethenogenes was not detectable. Thus, geochemical and molecular biological results were in excellent agreement in this first ecological field study linking in situ reductive dechlorination of TCE to metabolism of tetraalkoxysilanes.

To help explain the variation observed in HA formation under different cooking conditions, we have performed heat-flow simulations and experiments on the pan-frying of beef patties. The simulations involve modeling the heat flow within a meat patty using empirically derived thermal transport coefficients for the meat. The predicted temperature profiles are used to integrate the Arrhenius rate equation to estimate the concentration of HAs formed in the meat. We find that our simulations accurately model experimentally determined temperature profiles, cooking times, HA spatial distributions and total HA formation in patties that are flipped once during the pan-frying process. For patties flipped every 60 s, the simulations qualitatively agree with experiment in predicting reduced cooking times and HA formation relative to the singly-flipped patties. However, the simulations overestimate the effect of rapid flipping on cooking times and underestimate the effect of flipping on total HAs formed. These results suggest that the dramatic reductions in HA formation due to rapid flipping may be due to factors other than the heating process or that there is a critical feature of the flipping process that is not captured in our model.

The first step is the direct thermal conversion of methane to acetylene utilizing a thermal plasma heat source to dissociate the methane. The dissociation products react to form a mixture of acetylene and hydrogen. Significant improvements over the prior art were observed; these improvements may be attributed to an improved methane injection configuration and minimization of radial temperature gradients. Conversion efficiencies (percent methane converted) approached 100% and acetylene yields in the 90–95% range with 2–4% solid carbon production were obtained. A variety of methods were examined for the second step, the conversion of acetylene to liquid products. The most promising technology was the reaction of acetylene with hydrogen over a shape-selective zeolite to form C3–C5+ aliphatics.

It is observed that macroscopic lithium droplets detach from the limiter head and fall towards the plasma core. However, no disruptions occurred during these discharges despite the fact that relatively large-scale blobs are observed entering the confined plasma. A multi-tip Langmuir probe measures the edge plasma properties. It is found that the average density and temperature and their fluctuations are unaffected by the presence of lithium within experimental error.

In mice, one of these adaptins has been shown to be encoded by two genes, αA-adaptin and αC-adaptin, the former of which is expressed as two alternatively spliced transcripts. Using positional cloning gene approaches, we were able to identify the human αA-adaptin gene, which consists of 24 exons spanning over 40 kb on chromosome 19q13.3 between the loci of the R-ras gene and the polynucleotide kinase phosphatase gene. The novel gene encodes a 977 amino acid, 107.6 kDa protein with 98% amino acid sequence identity to its murine ortholog. Human αA-adaptin is expressed as a full-length transcript in forebrain, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, cerebellum, salivary gland, heart and colon. It is also ubiquitously expressed in tissues and in ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells and LNCaP prostate carcinoma cells as a smaller variant generated by splicing out of an exon encoding 22 amino acids in the hinge region of the protein.

This chemical hazard can be assessed by evaluating the mobility and speciation of metals after sediment deposition. In this study, the speciation of Zn in the coarse (500 to 2000 μm) and fine (<2 μm) fractions of a contaminated sediment dredged from a ship canal in northern France and deposited on an agricultural soil was determined by physical analytical techniques on raw and chemically treated samples. Zn partitioning between coexisting mineral phases and its chemical associations were first determined by micro-particle-induced X-ray emission and micro-synchrotron-based X-ray radiation fluorescence. Zn-containing mineral species were then identified by X-ray diffraction and powder and polarized extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). The number, nature, and proportion of Zn species were obtained by a coupled principal component analysis (PCA) and least squares fitting (LSF) procedure, applied herein for the first time to qualitatively (number and nature of species) and quantitatively (relative proportion of species) speciate a metal in a natural system.The coarse fraction consists of slag grains originating from nearby Zn smelters. In this fraction, Zn is primarily present as sphalerite (ZnS) and to a lesser extent as willemite (Zn2SiO4), Zn-containing ferric (oxyhydr)oxides, and zincite (ZnO). In the fine fraction, ZnS and Zn-containing Fe (oxyhydr)oxides are the major forms, and Zn-containing phyllosilicate is the minor species. Weathering of ZnS, Zn2SiO4, and ZnO under oxidizing conditions after the sediment disposal accounts for the uptake of Zn by Fe (oxyhydr)oxides and phyllosilicates. Two geochemical processes can explain the retention of Zn by secondary minerals: uptake on preexisting minerals and precipitation with dissolved Fe and Si. The second process likely occurs because dissolved Zn and Si are supersaturated with respect to Zn phyllosilicate. EXAFS spectroscopy, in combination with PCA and LSF, is shown to be a meaningful approach to quantitatively determining the speciation of trace elements in sediments and soils.

This is achieved using a combined analytical and computational technique we have developed to calculate permanent projectile deformation without erosion. With this technique we use an explicit transient dynamic finite element code to model the projectile, and an analytical forcing function based on the dynamic expansion of a spherical cavity derived from Forrestal''s depth of penetration equation to represent the target. Additionally, this work extends the forcing function methodology by introducing a successive layering technique to account for the loss of confinement due to entrance cratering effects. Results from simulations are compared with the corresponding experimental results and shown to be in good agreement. Furthermore, it is shown that in many of the events the projectile goes through significantly more deformation than what is observed from its post-test configuration.

Double-velocity inverse gradients, one at the tip of the liner and another one located near the middle section of the jet, are described for conical and elliptical shaped charges. A series of computer simulations are performed for jet formation and penetration into the casing wall as well as the surrounding rocks. For a typical liner material, the penetrated casing hole size is related to the liner geometry, the amount of the explosive charge, and the shape as well as the thickness of the charge case. From this study, it is shown that the geometry and the thickness of the liner are the most pertinent parameters for a good charge design.

Both U+ and Np+ reacted with silane while Pu+ was comparatively inert. The primary reactions with silane yielded the silylenes, AnSiH2+; secondary reactions gave AnSi2H4+ and AnSi2H2+ (An=U, Np). With disilane, single- and double-dehydrogenation by An+ produced AnSi2H4+ and AnSi2H2+ for An=U and Np, while Pu+ and Am+ were inert. Oxo-ligation rendered plutonium reactive towards silane: UO+, NpO+ and PuO+ each dehydrogenated disilane to give AnOSi2H4+. With germane, selected lanthanide ions, M+&z.dbnd6;Ln+, were studied along with M+&z.dbnd6;An+. Germylenes, MGeH2+, were formed for M=Th, U, Np, Pu, Ce and Tb, while Am+ and Tm+ were inert. Secondary products were MGe2+ (M=Th, U, Np, Ce and Tb), ThGe3+ and ThGe4+. The results are assessed in the context of the electronic structures and energetics of the actinide (and lanthanide) ions. For comparison and to confirm consistency with previous studies, a few reactions of CH4 and C2H6 with actinide ions were examined. The nature of anomalous peaks at ion flight times corresponding to “tetrahydride” ions, “AnH4,” upon introduction of both reactive and inert gases into the reaction region was examined in detail. It was concluded that these aberrant peaks were due to high-energy collision induced dissociation of actinide oxide ions, AnO+, in the first field-free region of the RTOF-MS. The identification of this dissociation phenomenon nullifies a previous report of actinide hydride ions produced by reactions of An+ with ethylene oxide.

For industrial-scale fluidized beds, it is typically impractical to simulate these structures directly due to the excessive resolution required. To model effects of mesoscale structures, the ensemble phase averaging method is extended to derive macroscopic averaged equations and their closures. It is found that added-mass and drag reduction effects due to mesoscale structures play essential roles in the macroscopic equations of motion. Unlike the classical added-mass force, which is proportional to the continuous fluid density, the mesoscale added-mass force is proportional to the mixture density. Thus for gas–solid systems wherein the classical added-mass force is almost always negligible, the mesoscale added-mass force is, in contrast, found to be quite important. Mesoscale drag reduction results from the fact that, in a particle rich region, there is significantly less relative velocity between particle and fluid phases than indicated by the macroscopic relative velocity.Possible effects of the new force terms in the macroscopic equations are examined from a one-dimensional simulation of a fluidized bed. Significant effects from the new terms on vertical pressure gradient and particle volume fraction distributions are observed.

One treatment cell operated for more than 3 years. The treatment cells were used for passive removal of contamination from groundwater at a uranium mill tailings repository site. Zero-valent iron [Fe(0)] that had been powdered, bound with aluminosilicate and molded into plates was used as a reactive material in one treatment cell. The others used granular Fe(0) and steel wool. The treatment cells significantly reduced concentrations of As, Mn, Mo, Se, U, V and Zn in groundwater that flowed through it. Zero-valent iron [Fe(0)], magnetite (Fe3O4), calcite (CaCO3), goethite (FeOOH) and mixtures of contaminant-bearing phases were identified in the solid fraction of one treatment cell. A reaction progress approach was used to model chemical evolution of water chemistry as it reacted with the Fe(0). Precipitation of calcite, ferrous hydroxide [Fe(OH)2] and ferrous sulfide (FeS) were used to simulate observed changes in major-ion aqueous chemistry. The amount of reaction progress differed for each treatment cell. Changes in contaminant concentrations were consistent with precipitation of reduced oxides (UO2, V2O3), sulfides (As2S3, ZnS), iron minerals (FeSe2, FeMoO4) and carbonate (MnCO3). Formation of a free gas phase and precipitation of minerals contributed to loss of hydraulic conductivity in one treatment cell.

An additional booster heater is designed, and the position of the heater is shown to be critical in obtaining a flat interface. A full-scale numerical calculation, carried out for succinonitrile-0.5 wt% Salol, shows that the interface concavity can be reduced gradually by placing the booster heater just above the cold end and by adjusting the temperature of the booster heater while keeping the hot and cold zone temperatures fixed. Experimental measurements of temperatures at the wall and at the center have been carried out systematically by using two calibrated thermocouples, and the observed thermal profiles have been shown to strongly support the numerical prediction. When a macroscopically flat interface is obtained, it is shown that columnar growth away from the ampoule wall can be observed and photographed. The effects of thermal gradient and the temperature setting of the booster heater on the planarity of the interface are discussed.

We describe the variation of this conservative isotope tracer with salinity and sediment load. REE data are used to differentiate marine and terrigenous source terrains for suspended material and dissolved fractions. We estimate that about 1–4×1010 Bq of 137Cs migrates annually on suspended material through the North Bay. In addition, 137Cs concentrations were measured in surface waters off Baja California. Combined in situ water density (σt) and 137Cs data distinguish between California Current and Gulf of California water, and delineate areas of upwelling, where nutrient-rich, deep Pacific Intermediate water, with little or no 137Cs, is brought to the surface off promontories along Baja California.

We discuss the precision and reliability of these calculations and show that restricting the basis (limiting the number of excitations taken into account) may lead to significant error (orders of magnitude) in the resulting tunneling splittings for the lowest energy levels, so that an intuitive picture of different decoupled energy scales does not hold in this case. Possible routes for further development of the many-spin model of Mn12 are discussed.

This was accomplished by minimizing the diffuse scattering from the conventional thick mounting substrate through the design of a sample holder that can accommodate particles mounted on thin-film TEM substrates. With this design, the contributions of incoherently scattered electrons that result in the diffuse background are minimized. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons were made of the EBSD pattern quality obtained from Al2 O3 particles approximately 200 nm in diameter mounted on both thick- and thin-film C substrates. For the quantitative comparison we developed a ‘quality’ factor for EBSD patterns that is based on the ratio of two Hough transforms derived from a given EBSD pattern image. The calculated quality factor is directly proportional to the signal-to-noise ratio for the EBSD pattern. In addition to the comparison of the thick and thin mounting substrates, we also estimated the effects of Z and ρ by comparing the EBSD pattern quality from the Al2 O3 particles mounted on thin-film substrates with the quality of patterns obtained from Fe–Co nanoparticles approximately 120 nm in diameter. The results indicate that the increased background generated in EBSD patterns by the electrons escaping through the bottom of the small particles is the dominant reason for the poor EBSD pattern quality from nanoparticles < 500 nm in size. This was supported by the fact that we were able to obtain usable EBSD patterns from Al2 O3 particles as small as 130 nm using the thin-film mounting method.

Tensile testing was performed at room temperature (20 °C) and 164 °C. The EC316LN stainless steel maintained notable strain-hardening capability after irradiation, while the 9Cr–2WVTa ferritic/martensitic steel posted negative hardening in the engineering stress–strain curves. In the EC316LN stainless steel, increasing the test temperature from 20 to 164 °C decreased the strength by 13–18% and the ductility by 8–36%. The effect of test temperature for the 9Cr–2WVTa ferritic/martensitic steel was less significant than for the EC316LN stainless steel. In addition, strain-hardening behaviors were analyzed for EC316LN and 316L stainless steels. The strain-hardening rate of the 316 stainless steels was largely dependent on test temperature. A calculation using reduction of area measurements and stress–strain data predicted positive strain hardening during plastic instability.

Heat-resistant structural materials typically used in the construction of furnaces and reaction chambers may be susceptible to embrittlement and corrosion in the gallium-rich environment of the TIGR process. The susceptibilities of several heat-resistant structural materials to corrosion in Ga2O-rich atmospheres are experimentally evaluated. Tungsten and SiC are found to be highly resistant to corrosive attack by Ga2O at elevated temperatures. Superalloys containing chromium and cobalt as well as a tungsten alloy containing nickel and copper are found susceptible to corrosive attack by gallium.

Upon the addition of 1–10 wt.% of dextrins, aqueous suspensions of 20 vol.% α-alumina exhibited a transition from strongly-flocculated, pseudoplastic behavior to a low-viscosity, Newtonian-like state. We evaluated rheological properties as a function of a range of polysaccharide molecular weights between 900 and 63 000 Daltons. Dextrins of molecular weight between 6450 and 15,000 Daltons were the most effective from the standpoint of cost and rheological performance.

Stability of the component phases of SFC2 was studied by insitu neutron diffraction in the temperature range of 900–1200 °C in air and Ar environments. In air between 900 and 1050 °C, the material is stable, with Sr2(Fe,Co)3Oy (236) being the major phase. Above 1050 °C, 236 undergoes decomposition into perovskite and rocksalt phases, and at 1200 °C, only a small fraction of the 236 phase is stable. In Ar, the 236 phase is completely stable at 900 °C but is completely decomposed by 1100 °C, whereupon only the perovskite and rocksalt phases remain. Rietveld analysis indicates that the 236 and perovskite phases become more Fe-rich as decomposition occurs, while the perovskite phase lattice parameter and oxygen content vary readily as temperature and gas environment are changed.

For all but one of the cases, which was thought to be borderline between freckling and not freckling, predictions of whether freckles formed were supported by experiments. It was also determined that freckling could be predicted by running a simulation with convection turned on only after a mushy zone was fully developed; this saves computational time and lends credibility to the notion of using a non-dimensional freckling criterion such as a Rayleigh number. Finally, with D as the diffusivity of Sn in the liquid and V the growth rate, setting the mesh spacing in the growth direction at only D/V at the dendrite tips, and allowing the element size to be coarser throughout the rest of the domain, the simulations accurately predicted freckling consistent with results produced using a uniform mesh spacing of D/V. By testing the simulated system to see whether convection produces freckles after a completely developed mushy zone evolves and by employing a non-uniform mesh, a considerable saving in computational time for predicting freckles was achieved.

The particle rotations are quantitatively characterized, for uniaxial tension, compression, torsion, and notch-tension test specimens strained to different strain levels. The particle rotations are monitored by measuring the morphological orientation distribution function of the particles. Significant particle rotations occur under all loading conditions. The morphological orientation distribution function evolves with plastic strain under uniaxial tension, compression, and torsion. The particles tend to align themselves in the direction parallel to applied (or induced) tensile stress for deformation under tension and compression. In the case, of torsion test specimens, at least up to 98% torsion strain, the particles tend to align along the direction at an angle of 45° to torsion axis.

The effect of synthesis temperature on the physical structure of these materials and the resulting thermal evolution from synthesized aluminum hydroxide to transitional alumina was studied using thermogravimetric analysis. A high resolution multiple quantum magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy method was used to determine quantitatively the evolution of the aluminum coordination during the thermal processing. The mesoporous alumina exhibited high stability upon prolonged heating, which is essential for their future applications in catalytic chemistry.

JO - Mutagenesis JF - Mutagenesis Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 17 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 222 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 02678357 AB - Griseofulvin (GF) is a fungicide drug well characterized for its aneugenic activity in vitro. In vivo strong evidence of aneuploidy and polyploidy induction has been obtained in germ cells, especially in oocytes. More controversial are the data on the aneugenicity of griseofulvin in somatic cells. In this paper we provide evidence that GF induces non-disjunction and cell cycle delay in bone marrow cells of orally treated mice. Adult female mice were administered olive oil suspensions of 200, 666 or 2000 mg/kg GF by gavage and killed 18 or 24 h later. To minimize animal-to-animal variation in the absorption and distribution of GF, mice were fasted from the time of GF administration to the time of killing. Two hours before treatment the animals were s.c. implanted with a bromodeoxyuridine tablet to obtain differential chromatid staining and to determine the number of divisions after GF treatment for each metaphase. Mitostatic effects of GF were assessed by the relative proportions of first, second and third generation metaphases and the average generation time (AGT) method. A statistically significant increase with respect to the control AGT value was observed after treatment with 666 and 2000 mg/kg, suggesting that GF, as already shown in meiosis, interfered with cell cycle progression. Hyperploidy was scored in second generation metaphases. Eighteen hours after treatment, the frequencies of hyperploid cells were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in all GF-treated groups than in their matched control group. The effect was not dose-dependent. No further increase in aneuploidy was observed at 24 h, suggesting that cells overcoming mitotic arrest did not have a higher rate of non-disjunction. No induction of polyploidy was demonstrated. We conclude that GF induces mitotic delay and aneuploidy in mouse bone marrow and suggest that the protocol used to formulate the gavage suspensions and the after-treatment fasting of the animals enhanced the bioavailability of GF to bone marrow cells.

Positron emission tomography (PET) and the dopamine metabolism tracer, [18F]6-fluoro-l-m-tyrosine (FMT) were used to evaluate dopaminergic function in the frontal cortex and striatum in six aged, but pre-menopausal, female monkeys before and after ovariectomy (OVX). Dynamic PET brain uptake data and metabolite-corrected blood input functions were fit to a three-compartment model for FMT uptake. Prior to OVX, all animals showed preferential accumulation of the tracer bilaterally in the striatum and less but measurable activity in the frontal cortex. Paired comparisons showed that there were no significant differences in FMT uptake (Ki) in either brain region before and after OVX. In addition, FMT uptake did not differ from a group of young adult female monkeys at either time point. These findings may represent a compensatory up-regulation of aromatic L- amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) activity.

This is the result of a combination of factors including successful operation of the third-generation light sources, the establishment of a very productive user community at both synchrotrons and FELs, and the continuing technical improvements of accelerators and related technology which allow even more challenging machines to be considered. There are a number of themes that carry this development including pushing wavelengths shorter, brightnesses higher, pulses shorter, increasing average power, and providing for multiple synchronized photon beams with multiple wavelengths. This talk will discuss some of the plans and proposals currently circulating and attempt to provide a glimpse into the near future of our field by illustrating the technologies that drive source development.

The electron beam microbunching becomes more and more prominent until saturation is achieved. This bunching causes nonlinear harmonic emission that extends the usefulness of a SASE system in achieving shorter FEL wavelengths for the same electron beam energy. We have investigated the intensity of the fundamental and second harmonic undulator radiation as a function of distance along the undulator line and present the experimental results and compare them to numerical simulations. In addition, we have measured the single-shot second harmonic spectra as well as the simultaneous fundamental and second harmonic spectra and present the experimental results.

The sensitivity of the nonlinear harmonic generation to undulator imperfections, electron beam energy spread, peak current, and emittance is important in an evaluation of the process. Typically, linear instabilities in FELs are characterized by increased sensitivity to both electron beam and undulator quality with increasing harmonic number. However, since the nonlinear harmonic generation mechanism is driven by the growth of the fundamental, the sensitivity of the nonlinear harmonic mechanism is not expected to be significantly greater than that of the fundamental. In this paper, we study the effects of electron beam quality, more specifically, emittance, energy spread, and peak current, on the nonlinear harmonics in a 1.5-A˚ FEL, and show that the decline in the harmonic emission roughly follows that of the fundamental.

It is important to extract the maximum energy from the electron beam in a pass through the undulator while inducing the minimum amount of exhaust energy spread. A larger energy extraction reduces the requirement for a large recirculating current, while a smaller exhaust energy spread allows the intense electron beam to be recirculated without damaging components. To improve FEL performance, we explore the use of the step-tapered undulator, which alters the resonance condition halfway through the undulator. Short pulses complicate the desired interaction. Comparisons are made to the conventional periodic and linearly-tapered undulators.

The short Rayleigh length can only work with a relatively short undulator. Multimode simulations are used to self-consistently model the optical mode interaction with the electron beam. The steady-state resonator mode is affected by the complex, non-linear electron beam evolution as well as the resonator design.

In view of this, a multi-laboratory collaboration has explored methods and software tools for integrated simulation of the photoinjector, linear accelerator, bunch compressor, and FEL. Rather than create a single code to handle such a system, our goal has been a robust, generic solution wherein pre-existing simulation codes are used sequentially. We have standardized on the use of Argonne National Laboratory''s Self-Describing Data Sets file protocol for transfer of data among codes. The simulation codes used are PARMELA, elegant, and GENESIS. We describe the software methodology and its advantages, then provide examples involving Argonne''s Low-Energy Undulator Test Line and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center''s Linac Coherent Light Source. We also indicate possible future direction of this work.

A fitting procedure utilizing beam size measurements from multiple beam profile monitors along the transport line was used instead of more traditional techniques. Such a small emittance beam in combination with a tight focusing scheme allowed us to achieve 10 μm RMS beam sizes at 60 MeV. The behavior and limitations of different BPM screens is compared for such beams.

The photon output consists of high brightness, transversely coherent pulses with duration <300 fs, together with a broad spontaneous spectrum with total power comparable to the coherent output. The output fluence, and pulse duration, pose special challenges for optical component and diagnostic designs. We first discuss the specific requirements for the initial scientific experiments, and our proposed solutions. We then describe the supporting research and development program that includes: experimental and theoretical material damage studies; high-resolution multilayer design, fabrication, and testing; replicated closed-form optics design and manufacturing; BeB manufacturing; and low-Z Fresnel lens design, fabrication and testing. Finally, some novel concepts for optical components are presented.

The prototype is a 3.4-m-long hybrid-type undulator with fixed gap of 6 mm. The period length is 30 mm and the number of poles is 226. For this undulator, 450 NdFeB magnet blocks are used. This project does not have demanding requirements for multipole component errors, but the field strength at x=0 should be as precise as possible to provide proper particle steering and phase errors. The first set of magnetic blocks has been measured. The strength and direction of magnetization of the magnet blocks are measured using a Helmholtz coil system. In addition to this, Hall probe measurements are performed for magnet blocks while they are mounted in a specially designed cassette with vanadium-permendur poles. The magnet blocks will be sorted using these data to minimize errors. Computer simulations show that magnets may be sorted in decreasing strengths with little or no additional tuning of the undulators.

In this case the FEL was operated near 530 nm using an enhanced facility including a bunch-compressed photocathode gun electron beam, linac, and 21.6 m of undulator length. The longitudinal microbunching was tracked by inserting a metal foil and mirror after each of the nine 2.4-m-long undulators and measuring the visible COTR spectra, intensity, angular, distribution, and spot size. We observed for the first time the z-dependent transition of the COTR spectra from simple lines to complex structure/sidebands near saturation. We also observed the change in the microbunching fraction after saturation, multiple fringes in the COTR interferogram that are consistent with involvement of a smaller core of the e-beam transverse distribution, and the second harmonic content of the microbunching. The results will be compared to relevant calculations using GENESIS and/or GINGER.

These experiments were performed as a complement to the Advanced Photon Source SASE FEL project''s thrust to shorter wavelengths. In order to do this, the optical diagnostics have been modified to include UV-sensitive cameras, and an optical transport has been installed that involves sets of mirrors and UV–visible lens pairs after each undulator. These optics provide transport to the in-tunnel Oriel UV–visible spectrometer. Since this is an imaging spectrometer, both spectral and x/y-plane spatial information are simultaneously available by performing the projections of the images on the x- and y-axis. The initial angular distribution data and beam size data have been obtained in a z-dependent manner by sampling after every other undulator, or every 4.8 m at four z locations. Experiments with sampling of the COTR angular distribution and spectra after each of eight undulators are planned.

These diagnostics enable z-dependent measurements of the exponential growth of the radiation and of the microbunching. The original diagnostics were designed for visible light. To enable measurements down to 265 nm, UV-enhanced cameras and fused-silica lenses have been installed. We have now designed a diagnostics suite that will enable us to continue measurements down to 50 nm using reflective optics and back-illuminated CCD cameras operating in vacuum. We describe the enhancements to the diagnostics for operation in the UV and VUV.

The aim of the RAFEL experiment is to construct fully coherent, tunable VUV radiation source by means of applying narrow-band optical feedback in the VUV SASE FEL operating currently at DESY. One of the problem of the realization of the RAFEL is severe requirements for the angular stability of the optical elements (about few microradians). This problem has been solved by means of installation of active alignment system with reference laser. Another problem is alignment of optical elements separated by 65 m within complicated experimental conditions connected with aperture limitations (down to 6 mm). This problem has been solved in two steps. Preliminary alignment with an accuracy of about 80 μrad has been performed with laser alignment system and OTR screens used at the TTF accelerator for electron beam diagnostics. Final alignment has been performed with VUV SASE FEL radiation. Measured feedback coefficient is about 1 percent and is in agreement with the designed value.

Primary purpose of the X-ray diagnostics is to provide an additional tool for alignment and commissioning of the numerous undulator cells along an XFEL beamline independently from electron-beam-based alignment procedures. Both methods will complement one another. The X-ray diagnostic station will be a sensitive instrument generating essential input for the undulator control system. The diagnostic station will be located about 120 m downstream from the last undulator cell. Total flux measurements will verify the XFEL''s gain. Analysis of the spectral and spatial distribution of the spontaneous radiation of individual or several consecutive undulator segments will be used to optimize angle and position of the electron beam trajectory, to verify the magnetic gap, and to adjust the phase match between two undulator segments. The two latter purposes cannot be served by electron-beam-based alignment.

With this kind of wiggler, in order to make a 10-keV X-ray SASE FEL, electron beam energies of ∼25 MeV are sufficient. In this presentation, scaling laws for the operation of FELs will be discussed. Using these scaling laws, requirements for electron sources will be obtained. The required electron beams must be about six orders of magnitude brighter than those available with existing sources. We propose a novel source based on vacuum laser pondermotive acceleration that will produce an electron beam meeting these requirements. This opens up a realistic possibility of realizing the dream of a “table top” X-ray SASE FEL.

First, we describe an analytical estimate using the HGHG parameters in the DUVFEL project at BNL as an example. We show that the effective energy spread in a chicane dispersion section is found to be very small, and the effect of finite emittance can be neglected during the calculation of coherent harmonic generation. Then we discuss some issues such as the intensity stability, and how to use HGHG to obtain information about local energy spread. We compare these issues with recent experimental results in the infrared. We discuss some of the key issues in the cascading HGHG scheme and its possible limitations.

Using the self-consistent Vlasov–Maxwell equations, we explicitly determine the effective index of refraction and the guided radiation mode for an electron beam with arbitrary transverse size. Electrons trapped by the guided radiation execute synchrotron oscillation and hence are susceptible to the sideband instability. We explain the spectral evolution and determine the sideband growth rate. These theoretical predictions agree well with GINGER simulation results.

Such measurements are currently needed to study luminescence decay mechanisms following high-density excitations and to identify strongly luminescent phosphor coatings with short lifetimes for ion photon emission microscopy (IPEM). The samples for this technique consist of thin phosphor layers placed or coated on the surface of PIN diodes. Single ions from an accelerator strike this sample and simultaneously create ion beam induced luminescence (IBIL) from the phosphor that is measured by a single-photon-detector, and an ion beam induced charge collection (IBICC) signal in the PIN diode. In this case, the IBICC signal provides the start pulse and the IBIL signal the stop pulse to a time to amplitude converter. It is straightforward to show that this approach also measures a signal proportional to activity versus time with an accuracy of 5% as long as the number of detected photons per ion is less than 0.1, which usually requires the use of absorbers for the IBIL detector or electronic discrimination for the IBIL signals. Details of the new analysis are given together with examples of luminescence decay measurements of several ceramic phosphors being considered to coat IPEM samples. IPEM is currently being developed at Sandia National Laboratory (SNL), the University of North Texas in Denton, and the Universities and INFN of Padova and Torino.

This system combines two entirely new concepts in accelerator physics and nuclear microscopy. A radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac is used to boost the energy of ions accelerated by a conventional Tandem Van de Graaff–Pelletron to velocities of 1.9 MeV/amu. The electronic stopping power for heavy ions is near a maximum at this velocity, and their range is 20 μm in Si. These ions therefore represent the most ionizing form of radiation in nature, and are nearly ideal for performing single event effects testing of integrated circuits. Unfortunately, the energy definition of the RFQ-boosted ions is rather poor ( a few %), which makes problematic the focussing of such ions to the submicron spots required for REM. To circumvent this problem, we have invented ion electron emission microscopy (IEEM). One can perform REM with the IEEM system without focussing or scanning the ion beam. This is because the position on the sample where each ion strikes is determined by projecting ion-induced secondary electrons at high magnification onto a single electron position sensitive detector. This position signal is then correlated with each REM event. The IEEM system is now mounted along the beam line in an axial geometry so that the ions pass right through the electron detector (which is annular), and all of the electrostatic lenses used for projection. The beam then strikes the sample at normal incidence which results in maximum ion penetration and removes a parallax problem experienced in an earlier system. Details of both the RFQ-booster and the new axial IEEM system are given together with some of the initial results of performing REM on Sandia-manufactured radiation hardened integrated circuits.

The accumulation and recovery of disorder on the Si and C sublattices are determined by ion-beam analysis methods in channeling geometry. Ab initio calculations have determined the most stable interstitial configurations, which are consistent with multi-axial channeling measurements. Molecular dynamics (MD) methods have been used to study both the energy dependence of defect production and the dynamic processes of cascade overlap. The experimental measurements of damage accumulation and the results of MD are consistent with each other. Thus, the integration of experimental and computational studies is providing atomic-level understanding of irradiation-induced defects and disordering processes in SiC.

But the channel-depth conversion does not correct for energy spread, the unwanted broadening in the energy of the spectra, which can lead to errors in depth profiling. A work in progress introduces a technique that corrects for energy spread in elastic recoil detection analysis spectra, the energy spread correction [Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B 187 (2002) 383]. Together, the energy spread correction and the channel-depth conversion comprise an accurate and convenient hydrogen depth profiling method.

In our experiments silicon wafers were implanted with 40 keV protons to a variety of ion doses ranging from 5×1016 to 1×1017 cm−2 and subsequently annealed at 600 °C. Under all of these conditions ion-cutting in the form of “popping off” discrete blisters was obtained. The cleavage mechanisms in these samples were studied through the combined use of Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy in channeling mode, elastic recoil detection analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Our analyses had shown that the cleavage location in Si is largely controlled by the lattice damage that is generated by the H-implantation process. At lower H doses, the cut location is well correlated with the damage peak and can be explained by damage-induced in-plane stress and the corresponding out-of-plane strain. However, at higher implantation doses the ion-cut location shifts to a portion of the crystal which contains lower damage and sufficient concentration of H. This effect can be explained by the changing fracture mechanics at high H concentrations in heavily damaged Si.

The accumulation and recovery of disorder on both the Si and C sublattices have been measured simultaneously using in situ 0.94 MeV D+ Rutherford backscattering 28Si(d,d)28Si and nuclear reaction 12C(d,p)13C along the 〈0 0 0 1〉-axial channeling direction. The behavior of disorder accumulation and recovery on the Si and C sublattices is similar. The data suggest that a dynamic recovery stage occurs between irradiation temperatures of 190 and 250 K. At intermediate doses, isochronal annealing (20 min) results show that significant thermal recovery occurs between 420 and 720 K. Complete recovery is not observed by thermal annealing up to the highest temperature (870 K) used in this study.

The required annealing temperature for mechanical layer transfer increases in the order 〈1 0 0〉, 〈1 1 1〉 and 〈1 1 0〉. The damage induced by the implantation has been studied by Rutherford backscattering in the channeling mode (RBS/C). The same methods have been used to investigate the influence of boron and arsenic doping on the mechanical exfoliation. Boron doping reduces the strength of the H-implanted layer thereby enabling mechanical layer transfer at temperatures below 200 °C. We found that the exfoliation takes place closer to the wafer surface in highly boron doped Si as compared to the undoped Si. The RBS damage peak also appears to move closer to the surface when the boron concentration of the H-implanted layer is >1019 cm−3. No lowering of the exfoliation temperature was observed for compensated and arsenic doped Si layers. We suggest that the lowering of the exfoliation temperature with increasing boron doping is related to Si–H bonds associated with the neutralization of shallow acceptors by hydrogen.

Single crystals of 6H–SiC with [0 0 0 1] orientation were irradiated with 180 keV oxygen ions at elevated temperature to a fluence of 1.4×1018 O+/cm2. It was found that a layered amorphous structure is formed inside the irradiated crystal. The intensities of halo patterns obtained by nano-beam electron diffraction techniques were analyzed quantitatively using imaging plates as a recording material. Pair distribution functions extracted by Fourier transforming nano-beam electron diffraction patterns indicated that the layered amorphous structure is due to compositional variations of silicon, carbon, and oxygen.

The chirped beam diffracts from a crystal in which the strain varies with depth. Low-Z crystals are favored to reduce absorption over the required path lengths and small Bragg angles are favored to increase the diffraction efficiency of the strained crystal. The best compression ratios found for a 230 fs, 0.5% chirped beam at a wavelength of 1.54 A˚ are achieved with graphite and diamond crystals. The calculations indicate for graphite that the pulse may be compressed in time by a factor of up to 10 with an efficiency such that this produces 6.8 times as many photons as a comparable time-slicing method.

Such applications arise, for example, in experimental physics, where the data in question is generated by accelerators, and in simulation science, where the data is generated by supercomputers. So-called Data Grids provide essential infrastructure for such applications, much as the Internet provides essential services for applications such as e-mail and the Web. We describe here two services that we believe are fundamental to any Data Grid: reliable, high-speed transport and replica management. Our high-speed transport service, GridFTP, extends the popular FTP protocol with new features required for Data Grid applications, such as striping and partial file access. Our replica management service integrates a replica catalog with GridFTP transfers to provide for the creation, registration, location, and management of dataset replicas. We present the design of both services and also preliminary performance results. Our implementations exploit security and other services provided by the Globus Toolkit.

A fuzzy point in the plane is considered to be a closed disk (a circle and its interior). The algebra of fuzzy points (which includes fuzzy vectors and fuzzy angles) is presented. Since fuzzy points are represented as closed disks, the lengths of fuzzy vectors, and the angles between fuzzy vectors can be viewed as properties of circles in the plane. Methods to compute the magnitude of a fuzzy angle are given. An application of fuzzy point algebra to the problem of detecting and tracking storms in Doppler radar image sequences, which motivates this work, is discussed.

However, such a bias is usually based upon the assumption of conventional electron–phonon coupling, while in the cuprates the coupling can be rather unconventional because of strong electron correlation. We present the results of our recent measurements of phonon dispersion in YBa2Cu3O6+x by inelastic neutron scattering. These suggest certain phonon modes interact strongly with electrons and are closely involved in the superconductivity phenomenon with possible contribution to pairing.

The attenuation shows a strikingly glasslike behavior, implying that the elastic properties of the clathrate crystal at low temperatures (T<1 K) are dominated by the presence of tunneling states. At slightly higher temperatures, the RUS data reflect the presence of a 2-level system with an energy-spacing of 45 K. The origin of these low-energy excitations is found in the ‘rattling’ Sr-atom, which occupies a fourfold split site in the clathrate structure.

In the measured INS spectra, the energy of the main optical H peak exhibits a strong monotonic increase as a function of the nearest hydrogen–metal distance in the hydrides of both 3d- and 4d-metals, respectively. The spectra for FCC NiH and PdH appear strongly anisotropic at energy transfers above the fundamental band of optical hydrogen vibrations, while those for FCC PdD do not show a significant directional dependence at energies of the second optical D band.

The integrated intensity of the acoustical peak in the spectrum of the deposited amorphous ice (1–15 meV) is noticeably larger compared to that for crystalline ice-Ih (by about 5%). There was no excess scattering in the spectra of other low-density amorphous ices studied before, which were obtained either by annealing the high-density amorphous ice or by hyper-quenching of water droplets of μm size.

Flame 88 (1992) 239] and an iterative method due to Fraser [J. Chem. Phys. 88 (1988) 4732] and further developed by Roussel and Fraser [J. Chem. Phys. 93 (1990) 1072]. Both methods exploit the separation of fast and slow reaction time scales to find low-dimensional manifolds in the space of species concentrations where the long-term dynamics are played out. The asymptotic expansions of these manifolds (ϵ↓0, where ϵ measures the ratio of the reaction time scales) are compared with the asymptotic expansion of , the slow manifold given by geometric singular perturbation theory. It is shown that the expansions of the ILDM and agree up to and including terms of O(ϵ); the former has an error at O(ϵ2) that is proportional to the local curvature of M0. The error vanishes if and only if the curvature is zero everywhere. The iterative method generates, term by term, the asymptotic expansion of . Starting from M0, the ith application of the algorithm yields the correct expansion coefficient at O(ϵi), while leaving the lower-order coefficients invariant. Thus, after applications, the expansion is accurate up to and including the terms of O(ϵℓ). The analytical results are illustrated on a planar system from enzyme kinetics (Michaelis–Menten–Henri) and a model planar system due to Davis and Skodje.

In desalting of NaCl solution with humate as a foulant, the optimum frequency was found to be 100 Hz in terms of conductivity and cell resistance changes.

The response to C3H6 and CO of two different sensor configurations were studied continuously for 1000 h versus an air reference. Although two different current collection schemes and two different metal oxide electrode geometries were employed, the magnitude of the mixed potential generated by both sensors was remarkably similar. From previous work with Au–ceria–Pt mixed potential sensors, this behavior is attributed to precisely controlling the metal oxide electrode/solid electrolyte interface unlike the undefined interface produced when Au electrodes are used. Although doped ceria is not a suitable electrolyte for automotive exhaust gas applications, this work serves to illustrate design goals for zirconia-based sensors.

Atomic emission is dispersed through a 2-m spectrometer in double pass mode and collected on an electronically gated, intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) camera. The integrated peak areas obtained from curve-fitting closely match the Pu-239/Pu-240 isotopic ratios obtained from standard methods of thermal ionization mass spectrometry and gamma spectrometry. The observed plutonium linewidths were 0.19 cm−1 (0.0067 nm). These linewidths are within the experimental error of the ideal instrument-limited linewidth, which is calculated to be 0.15 cm−1 (0.0052 nm) based upon the known modulation transfer function for the ICCD system. This linewidth should allow LIBS to be applicable for isotopic ratio measurements for all of the light actinides.

The adsorption and reactivity of the three molecules on Au(1 1 1) are very different. Thiophene adsorbs molecularly on Au(1 1 1) at 100 K and desorbs completely below 330 K without further decomposition. In the submonolayer range, three different adsorption states for chemisorbed thiophene are identified in TDS. It is suggested that thiophene preferably adsorbs on the defect sites at the lowest exposure. After the defect sites are saturated, the change from a flat-lying geometry to a tilted adsorption configuration follows as the exposure increases. Sulfur dioxide also does not decompose on Au(1 1 1). For SO2 adsorption at 100 K, in addition to the multilayer desorption feature (130 K), only one distinct monolayer peak with a tail extending to higher temperature appears in TDS. The desorption temperature difference between the SO2 monolayer and multilayer is only 15 K, indicating a weak binding between SO2 and Au. For methanethiol adsorption on Au(1 1 1) at 100 K, three desorption states appear in the submonolayer range for the parent thiol. All of them appear below 300 K. The only desorption products at higher temperature are methane or methyl radicals (540 K), and dimethyl disulfide (470 K). Apart from the intact methyl thiol molecule, which exists at low temperatures (150 K), two inequivalent intermediate thiolates, are seen to coexist on Au(1 1 1) in the 150–400 K temperature range, with one of them existing as low as 100 K. Atomic sulfur is present on the surface from 200 to 950 K.

At room temperature, SiH adsorbs on Cu(1 1 1), whereas complete dissociation occurs on Cu(1 1 0) to leave adsorbed silicon. Below room temperature, an SiHx (x=2 or 3) species exists on both surfaces. A surface-molecule bonding model is constructed to describe the adsorbate–substrate interactions and suggests that both Si and SiH adsorb in a substitutional or hollow site on the (1 1 1) surface and Si adsorbs in one of the same two sites on the (1 1 0) surface.

Effects that might produce a change in the response of the microcantilever, such as a mass adsorption, surface tension of the adsorbed water, and changes in thermal conductivity, were systematically investigated. It is shown that the judicious choice of experimental conditions could make these effects essentially inconsequential in comparison with the instrument response produced by the change in free surface energy of the microcantilever due to the chemical reactions. Using this method, the variation in free surface energy when changing from dry to high humidity conditions was found and the number of active sites that reacted was estimated. This method may be extended to other problems for use in determining surface free energy change and thus the density of reactant sites under different conditions of interest.

While extensive data regarding electron transport is available for single- and double-barrier structures, relatively less information is available for transport through step-barrier structures. In this paper, we present results from a study of room temperature vertical transport through a GaAs/GaAlAs/InAlAs/GaAs multistep-barrier heterostructure. A typical atomic force microscope has been adapted to perform transport measurements, thus allowing precise control of the physical location of the region of measurement. I–V measurements reveal negative differential resistance (NDR) peaks, thus confirming the formation of resonant states in a triangular well created when a voltage bias is applied across the step barrier. I–V curves have also been calculated by numerically solving the Schro¨dinger wave equation for this step-barrier structure. Comparison between the measured and calculated I–V curves shows reasonable agreement in the number of NDR peaks. However, discrepancies exist between the measured and calculated values for the voltages at which these NDR peaks occur. Some possible reasons for these discrepancies are discussed in this work.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 38 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 11-1 EP - 11-12 SN - 00431397 AB - To represent a heterogeneous unsaturated medium by its homogeneous equivalent, stochastic theory-based analytical formulas and numerical Monte Carlo simulations are used to obtain upscaled (effective) flow and transport properties. The Monte Carlo experiments simulate steady state flow and transient transport of nonreactive solute in two-dimensional heterogeneous media. Constitutive relations for unsaturated media at the mesh-size scale are based on the van Genuchten-Mualem relationships. A unit-mean-gradient approach is used to derive upscaled properties for flow parallel and perpendicular to bedding. Upscaled moisture retention and unsaturated conductivities ( K) and longitudinal dispersivities are obtained by simulating steady gravity drainage conditions for a series of applied infiltration rates, characteristic of relatively dry conditions in coarse-textured sediments. Macrodispersivities are calculated on the basis of spatial moments of the ensemble-mean plume. Results show that the calculated effective unsaturated K based on the analytical formulas compare well with those based on Monte Carlo simulations. The macroscopic anisotropy (ratio of K parallel to bedding to K perpendicular to bedding) increases with increasing tension, although the increase is rather mild. The longitudinal macrodispersivity for the equivalent homogeneous medium also increases with increasing tension. A comparison of numerical results with stochastic solutions suggests that the computed dispersivities are of the same order of magnitude at low tensions. At higher tensions the dispersivity estimates deviate significantly. Nonetheless, both numerical and analytical results show that the longitudinal dispersivities for flow parallel to bedding are higher than those for flow perpendicular to bedding. In addition, our results suggest that the Fickian regime is reached much earlier for cases with flow perpendicular to bedding than for those with flow parallel to bedding.

Our analysis relies on the composite media theory of Winter and Tartakovsky [2000, 2002], which allows one to derive and solve moment equations even when the medium is highly heterogeneous. We use numerical solutions of Darcy flows through a representative composite medium to investigate the robustness of perturbation approximations in porous medium with total log conductivity variances as high as 20. We also investigate the relative importance of the two sources of uncertainty in composite media, material properties, and geometry. In our examples the uncertain geometry by itself captures the main features of the mean head estimated by the full composite model even when the within-material conductivities are deterministic. However, neglecting randomness within materials leads to head variance estimates that are qualitatively and quantitatively wrong. We compare the composite media approach to approximations that replace statistically inhomogeneous conductivity fields with pseudohomogeneous random fields with deterministic trends. We demonstrate that models with a deterministic trend can be expected to give a poor estimate of the statistics of head.

One case involved a fish kill (> 24,000 fish) caused directly by sodium bisulfite; the second describes a near-miss situation resulting from over-dosing with sodium thiosulfate. Toxicity tests showed that overfeed situations with sodium thiosulfate or sodium bisulfite can depress pH and dissolved oxygen, causing mortality of fish. Bacteria also can metabolize some sulfur-based dechlorinating agents, thereby increasing the potential for reductions in pH and concentrations of dissolved oxygen. Although removing toxic levels of chlorine is important when releasing chlorine-containing wastewaters to aquatic systems, waste-treatment plant operators should also be aware of significant impacts that can occur if sulfur-based dechlorinating agents are used to excess.

Since decay modes of the Bs with definite CP are relatively rare, we suggest that the use of more common modes which are not pure CP eigenstates may allow the determination of the CKM phase γ. By studying the degree of correlation between different decay modes at a ϒ(5S) it is possible to determine the degree of affinity of each decay mode to a CP eigenstate. Once this is known, the correlation between a decay mode with a greater affinity to a particular CP eigenstate with a mode such as Ds+K− gives a determination of the phase γ.

The two crystal faces displayed uniquely different cyclic voltammograms and the structural changes associated with cyclic voltammograms were investigated with synchrotron surface-X-ray scattering measurements. In sulfuric acid solution, the cyclic voltammogram of the (100) surface exhibits a reduction signature near the hydrogen evolution potential. The reduction feature was found to be associated with an expansion of the top ruthenium layer approximately along the (110) direction. The same reduction feature was seen much less clearly at the (110) surface. However, the associated displacement of ruthenium atoms is very similar to that of the (100) surface, leading to the conclusion that the oxygen bonds on the surface are elongated by a chemical reaction of the oxygen atoms with hydronium molecules in solution. In NaOH solution, the cyclic voltammogram of the (110) surface indicates two clearly identifiable oxidation features near the oxygen evolution potential. We find that the oxidation features are associated with the clearly identifiable surface-structure changes and these structure models are presented. The structure models and corresponding charge-transfer amounts were consistent with the pH-dependent cyclic voltammograms and the super-nernstian behavior measured by adding phosphoric acid to the solution.

T1 - Electrosorption and catalytic properties of bare and Pt modified single crystal and nanostructured Ru surfaces JO - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry JF - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Y1 - 2002/05/03/ VL - 524/525 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 231 SN - 15726657 AB - The electrosorption and catalytic properties of bare and Pt modified Ru(0001) and Ru(10−10) single crystal surfaces and carbon supported Ru nanoparticles have been studied by electrochemical, surface X-ray scattering, scanning tunneling microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques. The electrochemical surface oxidation of Ru(0001) in H2SO4 is an one-electron process resulting in 1 monolayer oxygen uptake and the increased spacing between the top two Ru layers from 2.13 A˚ at 0.1 V to 2.20 A˚ at 1.0 V. About 1/3 monolayer of bisulfate anions are coadsorbed with hydronium cations at low potentials. In HClO4 solution, the adsorption process at ∼0.1 V is due to the surface oxidation apparently to RuOH rather than to hydrogen adsorption. The oxidation of Ru(10−10) is quite facile and a progressive growth of the oxide layer is observed in repeated potential cycles. Spontaneous deposition of a submonolayer-to-multilayer of Pt on metallic Ru surfaces is a new phenomenon involving a noble metal deposition on a noble metal substrate through a local cell mechanism. The electrocatalysts prepared by spontaneous deposition of Pt on Ru nanoparticles have high activity and high CO tolerance exceeding those of the state-of-the-art commercial catalysts containing several times higher Pt loadings. Electronic effects appear to play a role in providing enhanced CO tolerance of Pt submonolayers on Ru nanoparticles.

The results demonstrated that the kinetics of the her/hor are structure sensitive processes, with Pt(110) being about ten times more active than either of the atomically ‘flatter’ (100) or (111) faces at 275 K. At higher temperatures, however, the value of the exchange current density differs by less than a factor of two between Pt(110) and Pt(111). The difference in activity with crystal face is attributed to the structure sensitive adsorption of underpotentially deposited hydrogen (Hupd) and hydroxyl species (OHad) and the effect these species have on the formation of the electroactive intermediate, Hopd, whose physical state is uncertain. It is proposed that in the vicinity of the Nernst potential Hupd and OHad may have two modes of action on the kinetics of the her/hor: a blocking effect from competition for the same sites with molecular H2 and Hopd, and an energetic effect altering the adsorption energy of the reactive intermediate. The significant differences of the her/hor kinetics in alkaline versus acid electrolyte are suggested to arise mainly due to the presence of OHad even close to the reversible potential of the her/hor in alkaline electrolytes.

In this procedure, the time-consuming nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE)-based sequential assignment step is replaced by a fully automated RDC-based assignment strategy. This approach involves examination of all allowed sequence-specific resonance assignment permutations for best-fit agreement between measured RDCs and coordinates for sub-structures in a target RNA. Using idealized A-form geometries to model Watson–Crick helices and coordinates from a previous X-ray structure to model a hairpin loop in TAR, the best-fit RDC assignment solutions are determined very rapidly ((C3H6S) at 193 nm, providing selective determination of the translational energy distribution of both excited (1D) and ground-state (3P) sulfur atoms, with momentum-matching to the C3H6 co-fragment. The results suggest that the sulfur atom is produced almost exclusively in its excited (1D) state, with ground-state (3P) production less than 5%. The first single-photon ionization efficiency (PIE) spectrum for the S(1D) state with a resolution of 0.2 eV is reported.

This side-polar, non-helical structure is probably critical to the ability of smooth muscles to shorten by large amounts; however, details of myosin organization beyond this general description are unknown. The non-helical arrangement of myosin precludes the use of helical reconstruction methods for structural determination, and a tomographic approach is required. As a first step towards this goal we have determined the number of myosin molecules present at each 14.5 nm repeat in native smooth muscle myosin filaments by scanning transmission electron microscopy. The mass-per-length of myosin filaments was 159 kDa/nm, corresponding to 4.38(±0.11) (mean±s.e.m.) myosin molecules at each 14.5 nm level. The mass of thin filaments in the preparation (intrinsic control) was 21 kDa/nm, consistent with current models of smooth muscle thin filament structure, and the mass of tobacco mosaic virus (mass standard) was within 5% of the known value. We conclude that native smooth muscle myosin filaments contain four myosin molecules at each 14.5 nm level, two on each side of the side-polar structure.

It has been found that Pt forms three-dimensional clusters with a narrow size distribution and that, upon annealing in vacuum, the clusters migrate to step edges via cluster diffusion mechanism mainly along the terrace atomic rows. It has also been found that the cluster size distribution and the average surface cluster density remain constant during annealing, implying that no cluster coalescence has taken place for the annealing conditions considered. A one-dimensional model has been used to study cluster diffusion on terraces and recover the diffusion coefficient from the experimental data. The model has been applied to two data sets and the results show that cluster diffusion depends on the cluster size and exhibits an Arrhenius temperature dependence, with the prefactor and activation energy depending on the cluster size. The difference between the cluster binding energy to the terrace and step edge has been found by treating the cluster system as a lattice gas on a heterogeneous surface and enforcing the principles of chemical equilibrium.

The detector is a sol–gel glass film coated silicon surface barrier detector (SBD). The ionized charged particles from (n, α) reactions in the sol–gel film enter the SBD and are counted. Data showing that gamma-ray pulse amplitudes interfere with identifying charged particles that exit the film layer with energies below the gamma-ray energy is presented. Experiments were performed showing the effect of 137Cs and 60Co gamma rays on the SBD detector. The reaction product energies of the triton and alpha particles from 6Li are significantly greater than the energies of the Compton electrons from high-energy gamma rays, allowing the measurement of neutrons in a high gamma background. The sol–gel radiation detection technology may be applicable to the characterization of transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel and to the monitoring of stored plutonium.

T1 - Multiphase modeling of contact metamorphic systems and application to transitional geomagnetic fields JO - Earth & Planetary Science Letters JF - Earth & Planetary Science Letters Y1 - 2002/05/15/ VL - 198 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 429 SN - 0012821X AB - We present a numerical model that improves our capability to simulate multiphase, non-isothermal flow in variably saturated porous and fractured media at magmatic temperatures and shallow crustal pressures. Simulations of heat and fluid flow in variably saturated host rock near a magmatic intrusion provide insight into contact metamorphic processes, including dryout, condensation, and resaturation effects and implications for host-rock alteration. The numerical code, an enhanced version of FEHM, uses a finite-element/finite-volume technique incorporating implicit Newton–Raphson iteration to solve non-linear conservation equations for mass and energy, using thermodynamic properties of water and air in the ranges 10°C≤T≤1500°C, 0.00123≤P≤1000 MPa and 10°C≤T≤1500°C, 0.00123≤P≤22 MPa, respectively. The study area is located at Paiute Ridge, eastern Nevada Test Site, Nevada, USA, where hypabyssal mafic intrusions were emplaced at about 8.5–8.6 Ma (Ar/Ar age estimate) and cooled contemporaneously with part of a geomagnetic field reversal, inferred from paleomagnetic data from over 100 sites in intrusions and remagnetized host ash-flow tuffs. We used a radial model of heat flow and multiphase pore fluid flow adjacent to a 1200°C intrusion to characterize the thermal evolution of the contact metamorphic system. For likely initial pore saturations of 0.4–0.6, an expanding dryout zone near the intrusion and a condensation zone of enhanced saturation (S≤0.8) extends 150–400 m from the intrusion. Host-rock temperatures reach 800°C near the contact and cool below 100°C within 2000 yr after emplacement, two to four times faster than predicted by a simple conduction model. The thermal history of the system is very sensitive to initial saturation. The multiphase thermal model allows bounds to be placed on the rate of change of the transitional part of the geomagnetic field during the field reversal recorded at Paiute Ridge. We assume that magnetization acquisition took place during the life of the thermal system that developed in the intrusions and contact rocks and that the paleomagnetic data provide a quasi-continuous record of the transitional part of the reversal. Sites in intrusions and thermally annealed ash-flow tuffs reveal subtle yet systematic variations in paleomagnetic directions. We combine the directional data with robust thermal (temperature/time) models to estimate the rate of change of the geomagnetic field. Modeled times of 140–290 yr and 215–440 yr for the duration of magnetization acquisition at two different sites correspond to estimated rates of change of 0.06–0.13°/yr for the field during the transitional part of the reversal.

We used the Global Implicit Multicomponent Reactive Transport (GIMRT) code to model the processes occurring in the sediment column (diagenesis, sediment burial, fluid advection, and multicomponent diffusion) and to estimate net seafloor fluxes of solutes. Within the sediment section, the reactions controlling the concentrations of the solutes listed above are organic matter degradation via SO4 reduction, dissolution of amorphous silica, reductive dissolution of amorphous Fe(III)-(hydr)oxide, and precipitation of calcite, carbonate fluorapatite, and amorphous Fe(II)-sulfide. Rates of specific discharge estimated from pore-water Mg profiles are 2 to 3 mm/yr. At this site the basement hydrothermal system is a source of NH4, SiO2(aq), and Ca, and a sink of SO4, PO4, and alkalinity. Reaction within the sediment column increases the hydrothermal sources of NH4 and SiO2(aq), increases the hydrothermal sinks of SO4 and PO4, and decreases the hydrothermal source of Ca. Reaction within the sediment column has a spatially variable effect on the hydrothermal flux of alkalinity.Because the model we used was capable of simulating the observed pore-water chemistry by using mechanistic descriptions of the biogeochemical processes occurring in the sediment column, it could be used to examine the physical controls on hydrothermal fluxes of solutes in this setting. Two series of simulations in which we varied fluid flow rate (1 to 100 mm/yr) and sediment thickness (10 to 100 m) predict that given the reactions modeled in this study, the sediment section will contribute most significantly to fluxes of SO4 and NH4 at slow flow rates and intermediate sediment thickness and to fluxes of SiO2(aq) at slow flow rates and large sediment thickness. Reaction within the sediment section could approximately double the hydrothermal sink of PO4 over a range of flow rates and sediment thickness, and could slightly decrease (by ≤10%) the size of the hydrothermal source of Ca.

These experiments also show explosive behavior, developing Strombolian- and Surtseyan-like bursts. The results demonstrate that the application of fuel–coolant interaction (FCI) theory is appropriate for interpretation of peperites. The theory described includes discussion of the importance of mass interaction ratios of wet sediment and magma (Rs), which determine thermal equilibrium temperature limits and contact interface dynamics. The dynamics of the interface between magma and wet sediments involves heat transfer over a wide range of rates from passive quenching to explosive fragmentation. A vapor film layer develops at the interface and acts both as an insulating barrier, promoting passive quenching, as well as a potential energy reservoir that can cause magma fragmentation, mingling of the magma with wet sediments, and explosive quenching when the vapor film becomes unstable. An important parameter in determining the behavior of the vapor film is the value of Rs, which controls whether heat can be convectively removed from the layer as more is being added from its contact with magma. If Rs>1 for fully saturated sediments, there is enough water in the sediments to make convective heat flow effective in quenching the magma, but below that value, there is the potential that the vapor film will be unstable, producing highly dynamic phenomena, including explosive fragmentation. At values of Rs<0.1 there is insufficient water to allow the escalation of explosive fragmentation.

A spectrum of features, including elongated, streamlined, flute-shaped lobes, and irregular corrugations, are exposed on the base of the lava lake. Flute-shaped lobes range in amplitude from several centimeters to 0.5 m, plunge downdip with respect to the subjacent layered tuff toward the center of the crater, and are better defined at depths more than 3 m below the lava lake surface. These may have been formed by growth of Rayleigh–Taylor instability waves caused by the density contrast between the wet tuff and basalt, combined with directed stress from flow of the lava lake radially outward from the crater. Formation of an insulating vapor film at the wet tuff–basalt interface and downward pressure exerted by the lava lake allowed the edge of the lava lake to quench gradually, and prevented formation of peperite at greater depths in the lake. Corrugations exposed on the upper 1.5 m of the lava lake margin increase in size from several millimeters to 10 cm in amplitude toward the top of the lava lake and approximately parallel the surface. Corrugations may be the remnant of fluidal peperite preserved on the edge of the lava lake, where the peperite was eroded, or may be deformation features formed within an insulating vapor film due to oscillation of the vapor film. These were formed higher in the lava lake, where the lava lake basalt was thinner, wet tuff deposits confining the lava lake were thinner, and temperature differences between the wet tuff and lava were greater. If corrugations represent deformation of the lava edge within the vapor film, rather than peperite formation, they preserve an intermediate process that is involved in the formation of peperite. This study offers a unique opportunity to evaluate some of the initial mechanisms involved in the formation of peperite based on features preserved in the lava where the host rock, in this case hydrovolcanic tuff, has been eroded but the properties of the host rock are known from adjacent exposures.

Due to the underlying processes that create these time series, they are expected to have multiscaling properties. For obtaining reliable measures of these scaling properties, different methods of statistical analysis are used herein: power spectral density, detrended fluctuation analysis, and multifractal analysis. This broad set of diagnostic techniques is applied to a typical stratus cloud base height (CBH) data set; data were obtained from the Southern Great Plains site of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program of the Department of Energy from a Belfort Laser Ceilometer. First, we demonstrate that this CBH time series is a nonstationary signal with stationary increments. Further, two scaling regimes are found, although the characteristic laws are quite similar ones. Next, the multi-affine scaling properties are confirmed. The scaling properties of the cloud base height profile of such a continental stratus are found to be similar to those of the marine cloud base height profiles studied by us previously. Some physical interpretation in terms of anomalous diffusion (or fractional random walk) is given for the continental case.

Only the RbGa3−xAux products could be obtained in high yields, and these have been structurally defined for x=0.26(1) and 0.36(2) (saturation). Gold substitutes unequally on all three gallium positions in the structure of RbGa3, the anion of which consists of layers of interlinked Ga8 dodecahedral clusters plus 4-bonded gallium spacers between the layers. The effects of the oxidation of the structure by Au are well focused on a 0.19 A˚ elongation of a short, evidently π-bond at the 4¯ extremes of the Ga8 dodecahedron between x=0 and x=0.36. Extended Hu¨ckel band calculations on the anion network provide insights into the distortion, which evidently reflects an unequal electron distribution of the bonding states in a deltahedron made of two types of cluster atoms.

For R=Dy–Tm, Lu and Y dramatic improvements in the low temperature resistivity, residual resistivity ratio and implicitly the electronic mean free path were found for annealing temperature T=1000 °C and annealing time t≈75–100 h. This annealing schedule is somewhat less effective in changing the temperature dependent resistivities of TbNi2B2C and GdNi2B2C but it produces dramatic changes in the resistivity of the heavy Fermion compound YbNi2B2C.

Two optically polarized 3He cells were used before and behind a 5-cm long 139La target, each as a polarizer and an analyzer for neutron spin. The rotation angle was carefully measured by flipping the direction of 3He polarization in the polarizer in sequence. The peak-to-peak value of the spin rotation was determined to be (7.4±1.1)×10−3 rad/cm. The result is found to be consistent with the previous experiments, but the result was statistically improved. The s–p mixing model gives the weak matrix element as xW=(1.71±0.25) meV. The value agrees well with the one deduced from the parity-nonconserving longitudinal asymmetry in the same resonance.

In this Letter we continue the exploration of the phenomenology of CPT violation in the neutrino sector. We show that our CPT-violating model fits the existing SuperKamiokande data at least as well as the standard atmospheric neutrino oscillation models. We discuss the challenge of measuring CP violation in a neutrino sector that also violates CPT. We point out that the proposed off-axis extension of MINOS looks especially promising in this regard. Finally, we describe a method to compute CPT-violating neutrino effects by mocking them up with analog matter effects.

For nitrate and nitrite, the rates increase as the temperature increases, reach a maximum around 125–200 °C and then decrease. Above 350 °C the rates increase again sharply. The perchloric acid rates strongly increase between 250 and 350 °C, and decrease sharply at 380 °C. We interpret the unusual rate behavior at supercritical temperatures in terms of ion pairing, which eliminates coulombic attraction/repulsion between the reactants.

Three photon energies were used and the 193-nm spectra revealed two additional detachment features, allowing a total of six detachment channels to be observed for each anion. The measured vertical detachment energies and electron affinities were compared with the previous theoretical predictions, and excellent agreement was observed.

This is the equation which governs the evolution with rapidity of the statistical weight function for the color glass field. The coefficients in this equation—one-loop real and virtual contributions—are computed explicitly, to all orders in the color glass field. The resulting RGE can be interpreted as the imaginary-time evolution equation, with rapidity as the “imaginary time”, for a quantum field theory in two spatial dimensions. In the weak-field limit it reduces to the BFKL equation. In the general nonlinear case, it is equivalent to an equation by Weigert which summarizes in functional form the evolution equations for Wilson-line operators previously derived by Balitsky and Kovchegov.

In CMOS designs, the PDH uses an MOS current source as the rectifying element inside the feedback loop of a high-gain amplifier. However, the non-idealities in the amplifier and feedback elements significantly limit its accuracy and stability.This paper reports on the limits of the classical CMOS PDH. Static errors due to offset, finite gain, and common-mode rejection, dynamic errors due to parasitic capacitive coupling and slew rate, and loop stability are analyzed. Expressions for each error source and consequent design tradeoffs between accuracy, speed, and dynamic range, and driving capability are derived. In a related article (Part 2), a two-phase PDH configuration, which overcomes the major limits of the classical approach is presented.

It is based on a configuration that cancels the major error sources of the classical CMOS PDH, including offset and common mode gain, by re-using the same amplifier for tracking, peak sensing, and output buffering. By virtue of its high absolute accuracy, two or more PDHs can be used in parallel to serve as a data-driven analog memory for derandomization.The first experimental results on the new peak detector and derandomizer (PDD) circuit, fabricated in 0.35 μm CMOS technology, include a 0.2% absolute accuracy for pulses with 500 ns peaking time, 2.7 V linear input range, 3.3 mW power dissipation, 250 mV/s droop rate, and negligible dead time. The use of such a high performance analog PDD can greatly relax the requirements on the digitization in multi-channel systems.

T1 - The Cryo-Thermochromatographic Separator (CTS): : A new rapid separation and α-detection system for on-line chemical studies of highly volatile osmium and hassium (Z=108) tetroxides JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2002/05/21/ VL - 484 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 587 SN - 01689002 AB - The Cryo-Thermochromatographic Separator (CTS) was designed and constructed for rapid, continuous on-line separation and simultaneous detection of highly volatile compounds of short-lived α-decaying isotopes of osmium and hassium (Hs, Z=108). A flowing carrier gas containing the volatile species is passed through a channel formed by two facing rows of 32 α-particle detectors, cooled to form a temperature gradient extending from 247 K at the channel entrance down to 176 K at the exit. The volatile species adsorb onto the SiO2-coated detector surfaces at a characteristic deposition temperature and are identified by their observed α-decay energies. The CTS was tested on-line with OsO4 prepared from 169–173Os isotopes produced in 118,120Sn(56Fe, 3,4,5n) reactions. An adsorption enthalpy for OsO4 of −40.2±1.5 kJ/mol on SiO2 was deduced by comparing the measured deposition distribution with Monte Carlo simulations. This successful result demonstrates that such a system provides a viable means for the first chemical study of hassium—which is expected to be a homologue of osmium—by determining whether it forms a similarly volatile oxide.

The neutron beam has a very low duty cycle (<0.1%) and consequently a high instantaneous dose rate which causes distortions of the microdosimetric spectra due to pulse pileup. The determination of undistorted spectra at this facility necessitated (i) the modified operation of the proton accelerator to reduce the instantaneous dose rate and (ii) the establishment of a computational procedure to correct the measured spectra for remaining pileup distortions. In support of the latter effort, two different pileup simulation algorithms using analytical and Monte-Carlo-based approaches were developed. While the analytical algorithm allows a detailed analysis of pileup processes it only treats two-pulse and three-pulse pileup and its validity is hence restricted. A Monte-Carlo-based pileup algorithm was developed that inherently treats all degrees of pileup. This algorithm can be used in an iterative manner to correct pileup distorted spectra. The pileup simulation and correction codes compared well with experimental data. A set of pileup distorted spectra that were collected under different setup configurations at the Fermilab facility were corrected for pileup. Analysis of the spectral variations between the spectra is consistent with findings reported in the literature.

The ability to accurately predict the equilibrium response of a calorimeter would significantly reduce the amount of time required for calorimetric assays. An algorithm has been developed that is effective at predicting the equilibrium response. This multi-exponential prediction algorithm is based on an iterative technique using commercial fitting routines that fit a constant plus a variable number of exponential terms to calorimeter data. Details of the implementation and the results of trials on a large number of calorimeter data sets will be presented.

Rastering the beam using sign-wave control signals to produce a Lissajous pattern, however, causes the beam to remain at the edges of the target longer than the center. In these regions, the local heating can be much higher than the central region generating considerable luminosity losses affecting the quality of the data. This circuit tracks the X and Y raster waveforms and sends out NIM and TTL VETO/FLAG pulses when X2+Y2 is greater than a user set threshold based on the percentage of the peak voltage on the Y input. The VETO/FLAG can be used to limit the acquisition/analysis of the data to a circular region in the center of the raster pattern. This circuit automatically compensates for changing frequency and voltage to maintain a constant percent trigger from 0.4 to 5 V peak to the peak of the raster waveform.

The 1175 °C (air) subsolidus phase diagram has been established, including solid solution limits for binary and ternary compositions. From these limits and electrical property measurements vs. doping and degree of reduction, the prevailing defect mechanisms can be deduced. In addition to intrinsic (native) defects (e.g. oxygen vacancies) and extrinsic donor-doping of the end member compounds (e.g. SnIn⋅ in In2O3), ternary solid solutions exhibit both isovalent doping (e.g. [Cd′In]=[SnIn⋅] in bixbyite, spinel) and donor-to-acceptor imbalance (e.g. [SnIn⋅]>[Cd′In] in bixbyite, spinel). Aliovalent doping can also lead to the formation of point defect associates, as in Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO), as confirmed by combined Rietveld analyses of X-ray and neutron diffraction data. Cation exchange between sublattices in the spinel phase plays an important role in determining phase stability and band structure. The physical properties of the TCO phases in the CdO-In2O3-SnO2 system are presented for both bulk ceramics and thin films.

Subsequent work has focused on the ZnO-SnO2 tie line. Local maxima in the composition dependence of the conductivity were found for Zn/Sn ≈2:1 (Zn2SnO4) and Zn/Sn ≈1:1 (ZnSnO3). For these two representative stoichiometries, constant composition films have also been grown by pulsed laser deposition.

Y1 - 2002/05/23/ VL - 204 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 63 SN - 09277757 AB - This study investigates the transition from reversible secondary to irreversible primary-minimum aggregation of superparamagnetic particles in surfactant solutions. The magnetic induction at which this transition occurs is experimentally determined by visualization of chain formation under a magnetic field and chain breakup after the field is removed. The value of the theoretical transitional magnetic induction is calculated from the extended Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory, which includes van der Waals, electrostatic, and magnetic-dipole forces, as well as non-DLVO steric repulsion. Experimental results show that the transitional magnetic induction increases with higher concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). When the surfactant concentration is high, the theoretical value of transitional magnetic induction agrees well with the experimental value. Only when the surface of the particles is completely covered by surfactant molecules can the secondary-minimum chains break up quickly to form a uniformly dispersed particle suspension after the magnetic force is removed. Moreover, such investigations reveal that the primary-minimum chains are shorter when they are formed in solutions of higher concentrations of SDS. This phenomenon occurs because the nonequilibrium steric repulsion between adsorbed SDS layers on the surface of the particles allows the transition from secondary- to primary-minimum aggregation for some of the particles in a chain. When the SDS segments are not adequately compressed, long chains formed in SDS solutions break up at points of secondary-minimum aggregation after removal of the magnetic force. At these points, the adsorbed SDS layers keep particles away from the primary-minimum, leading to the breakup of long chains and formation of short primary-minimum magnetic chains.

JF - Colloids & Surfaces A: Phys. Eng. Asp. Y1 - 2002/05/23/ VL - 204 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 295 SN - 09277757 AB - This paper represents a comparison of surface protonation studies of rutile in NaCl media obtained using a conventional glass-electrode autotitrator system from 10 to 50 °C, and hydrogen-electrode concentration cells from 25 to 250 °C [J. Colloid Interface Sci., 200 (1998) 298]. Experimental conditions were matched as closely as possible between the two techniques, permitting a direct comparison of the results. Values for the pH of zero net proton charge (pHznpc) of the rutile surface obtained at 10 and 35 °C were consistent with the temperature trends observed previously using hydrogen-electrode concentration cells. The pHznpc of rutile decreases systematically from 5.7 to 4.2 as temperature increases from 10 to 250 °C. Moreover, the experimentally determined pHznpc values agree with independent estimates of the pH at the pristine point of zero charge (pHznpc) calculated from an extension of the revised Multi-Site Complexation (MUSIC) Model of Hiemstra et al. [J. Colloid Interface Sci., 184 (1996) 680]. Surface protonation curves obtained from the glass-electrode titration results were rationalized using surface protonation constants derived from the MUSIC Model, in conjunction with a Basic Stern representation of the electrical double layer (EDL) structure. Best-fit parameters (Stern layer capacitance values, and electrolyte cation and anion binding constants) are consistent with those obtained from fits to titration curves obtained using hydrogen-electrode concentration cells at 25 and 50 °C. Consequently, this comparison demonstrates that independent conventional glass-electrode and hydrogen-electrode concentration cell titrations provide completely compatible results despite the intrinsic differences in the two techniques (pH calibration, equilibration times, stirring rates, gas phase composition, etc).

Subsequently, it has been argued that the intergalactic plasma may interfere adversely with this mechanism by rendering the oscillations energy dependent. Here we show that this energy dependence is extremely sensitive to the precise value of the free electron density in the Universe. Decreasing the electron density by only a factor of 4 is already sufficient to bring the energy dependence within the experimental bounds. Models of the intergalactic medium show that for redshifts z<1 about 97% of the total volume of space is filled with regions of density significantly lower than the average density. From these models we estimate that the average electron density in most of space is lower by at least a factor of 15 compared to the estimate based on one half of all baryons being uniformly distributed and ionized. Therefore the energy dependence of the photon–axion oscillations is consistent with experiment, and the oscillation model remains a viable alternative to the accelerating Universe for explaining the supernova observations. Furthermore, the electron density does give rise to a sufficiently large plasma frequency which cuts off the photon–axion mixing above microwave frequencies, shielding the cosmic microwave photons from axion conversions and significantly relaxing the lower bounds on the axion mass implied by the oscillation model.

Our results show that the measured photon spectrum can be reproduced with realistic initial conditions which take properly into account also the finite longitudinal size of the initial collision zone and which simultaneously describe well both the transverse and longitudinal hadron spectra. In the scenario with initial formation of QGP the recently calculated emission rate, complete to order αs, reproduces the measured spectrum. However, the experimental spectrum can also be reproduced in a purely hadronic scenario without transition to QGP state, but a high initial temperature, much over the values predicted for the phase transition temperature Tc, is required.

These methods rely on databases of free energies, obtained from an optimization process involving experimental thermodynamic and phase diagram data. However, many phases of practical interest (e.g., metastable precipitate phases) are absent from computational thermodynamics databases, due to insufficient information to perform the optimization process. We demonstrate that first-principles, density functional calculations provide a means to obtain thermodynamic functions of phases absent from current databases. Two examples illustrate this hybrid first-principles/computational-thermodynamics approach: (1) the famous metastable Cu-containing precipitate phase, Al2Cu-θ′, often found in age-hardened aluminum alloys, and (2) a new assessment of thermodynamic data in the Al–Sr system. We show how first-principles input may be used in both binary and multicomponent industrial systems.

The thermal conductivity for a grain size of 10 nm is reduced to approximately half that of coarse-grained or single-crystal material at all measured temperatures. A method for determining the interfacial resistance to thermal transport in polycrystalline materials from measurements of grain-size-dependent thermal conductivity is described and applied. The results suggest a new strategy for identifying improved thermal barrier materials by choosing materials with large interfacial thermal resistance and reduced dimensionality or grain size, rather than by focusing on minimization of bulk thermal conductivity alone.

Laser ablation refers to the process in which an intense burst of energy delivered by a short laser pulse is used to sample (remove a portion of) a material. The advantages of laser ablation chemical analysis include direct characterization of solids, no chemical procedures for dissolution, reduced risk of contamination or sample loss, analysis of very small samples not separable for solution analysis, and determination of spatial distributions of elemental composition. This review describes recent research to understand and utilize laser ablation for direct solid sampling, with emphasis on sample introduction to an inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Current research related to contemporary experimental systems, calibration and optimization, and fractionation is discussed, with a summary of applications in several areas.

Measurements of the spatially resolved radical densities were performed in fluorocarbon containing gases such as C2F6, CHF3 and C4F8 as functions of the induction coil power, pressure and bias power above a silicon surface. Measurements of these four species provide information on parent gas dissociation products as well as etch products evolved from the surface. The spatial distributions of these radical species were quite different and did not follow all the optical emission. The spatial distribution of the CF density was peaked in the center of the plasma. The CF2 density had a local maximum in the center of the plasma. However, the CF2 density outside the glow region was a factor of 2–6 higher than the density inside the glow region, depending on the gas. The etch product SiF had a maximum at a radial distance of 2–3 cm from the center of the plasma, and then monotonically decreased towards the edge of the plasma region. While the peak density was a function of the plasma parameters, the general shape of the SiF spatial distribution was independent of the plasma conditions and gas. The SiF2 density had a maximum at a radial distance of approximately 7 cm from the center of the plasma. At this location, the SiF2 plasma-induced optical emission was approximately 10% of the value in the center of the discharge. The SiF2 spatial distribution was dependent on the induction coil power. The location of the peak in the SiF2 density did not depend on the plasma confinement structures or material. The scaling of the CF, CF2 and SiF densities in the center of the plasma with inductive power showed the importance of gas heating in determining the number density in the center of the plasma.

T1 - Tracing and quantifying magmatic carbon discharge in cold groundwaters: lessons learned from Mammoth Mountain, USA JO - Journal of Volcanology & Geothermal Research JF - Journal of Volcanology & Geothermal Research Y1 - 2002/05/30/ VL - 114 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 291 SN - 03770273 AB - A major campaign to quantify the magmatic carbon discharge in cold groundwaters around Mammoth Mountain volcano in eastern California was carried out from 1996 to 1999. The total water flow from all sampled cold springs was ≥1.8×107 m3/yr draining an area that receives an estimated 2.5×107 m3/yr of recharge, suggesting that sample coverage of the groundwater system was essentially complete. Some of the waters contain magmatic helium with 3He/4He ratios as high as 4.5 times the atmospheric ratio, and a magmatic component in the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) can be identified in virtually every feature sampled. Many waters have a 14C of 0–5 pmC, a δ13C near −5‰, and contain high concentrations (20–50 mmol/l) of CO2(aq); but are otherwise dilute (specific conductance=100–300 μS/cm) with low pH values between 5 and 6. Such waters have previously escaped notice at Mammoth Mountain, and possibly at many other volcanoes, because CO2 is rapidly lost to the air as the water flows away from the springs, leaving neutral pH waters containing only 1–3 mmol/l HCO3−. The total discharge of magmatic carbon in the cold groundwater system at Mammoth Mountain is ∼20 000 t/yr (as CO2), ranging seasonally from about 30 to 90 t/day. Several types of evidence show that this high discharge of magmatic DIC arose in part because of shallow dike intrusion in 1989, but also demonstrate that a long-term discharge possibly half this magnitude (∼10 000 t/yr) predated that intrusion. To sustain a 10 000 t/yr DIC discharge would require a magma intrusion rate of 0.057 km3 per century, assuming complete degassing of magma with 0.65 wt% CO2 and a density of 2.7 t/m3. The geochemical data also identify a small (<1 t/day) discharge of magmatic DIC that can be traced to the Inyo Domes area north of Mammoth Mountain and outside the associated Long Valley caldera. This research, along with recent studies at Lassen Peak and other western USA volcanoes, suggests that the amount of magmatic carbon in cold groundwaters is important to constraining rates of intrusion and edifice weathering at individual volcanoes and may even represent a significant fraction of the global carbon discharge from volcanoes.

Photo-electrochemical (PEC) and hot wet etching using both H3PO4 and molten KOH have been used to estimate the defect density in GaN by producing at the surface defect sites freestanding whiskers and hexagonal pits, respectively. Using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), we found the whisker density to be similar to etch pit density for samples etched under precise conditions. Additionally, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirmed dislocation densities obtained by etching which increased our confidence in the consistency of methods used. Hot wet etching was used also to investigate the polarity of GaN films together with Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) and AFM imaging. We found that hot H3PO4 etches N-polar GaN films very quickly resulting in the complete removal or drastic change of surface morphology. On the contrary, the acid attacks only defect sites in Ga-polar films producing pits but leaving the defect-free GaN intact and the morphology unchanged. Additionally, the polarity assignments were related to the as-grown morphology and to the growth conditions. We have found that the GaN films grown on high temperature AlN and GaN buffer layers on sapphire by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) show Ga and N-polarity, respectively. However, the polarity of GaN films grown on low temperature AlN or GaN buffer layers depends critically on the growth conditions.

PSP is a likely regulator of the steady-state d-serine level in the brain, which is a critical co-agonist of the N-methyl-d-aspartate type of glutamate receptors. Here, we present high-resolution (1.5–1.9 A˚) structures of PSP from Methanococcus jannaschii, which define the open state prior to substrate binding, the complex with phosphoserine substrate bound (with a D to N mutation in the active site), and the complex with AlF3, a transition-state analog for the phospho-transfer steps in the reaction. These structures, together with those described for the BeF3− complex (mimicking the phospho-enzyme) and the enzyme with phosphate product in the active site, provide a detailed structural picture of the full reaction cycle. The structure of the apo state indicates partial unfolding of the enzyme to allow substrate binding, with refolding in the presence of substrate to provide specificity. Interdomain and active-site conformational changes are identified. The structure with the transition state analog bound indicates a “tight” intermediate. A striking structure homology, with significant sequence conservation, among PSP, P-type ATPases and response regulators suggests that the knowledge of the PSP reaction mechanism from the structures determined will provide insights into the reaction mechanisms of the other enzymes in this family.

This approach, referred to as the thermolytic molecular precursor method, has been used to obtain highly dispersed mixed-element oxide materials. In some cases, this methodology provides heterogeneous catalysts which possess superior properties relative to catalysts with the same composition, but prepared by traditional aqueous methods. It has also been found that certain molecular precursors are useful for introduction of surface-bound catalytic species. With this method, multicomponent molecular precursors may be used to produce porous materials with nano-sized voids. This affords mixed-oxide materials with a homogeneous dispersion of metal atoms throughout the inorganic framework walls of a mesoporous material.

Photochem. Photobiol. A 108 (1997) 1]. The focus of this research is the development of a TiO2-based microsensor that uses these photocatalytic reactions to identify specific gaseous organic compounds and allow operation at ambient temperatures. TiO2 microsensors are produced using thick-film lithographic methods and cermet materials. TiO2 and platinum films were deposited on an alumina substrate. Tests were conducted in a closed quartz glass cell at ambient temperatures and pressures. As the sensor was exposed to a variety of gaseous organic constituents in the presence of UV light, electrical characteristics of the sensor were measured. Individual gases including methylene chloride, ethanol, benzene, acetone, xylene and isopropanol produced unique signatures as they were oxidized on the sensor surface. Sensors were renewable and reusable.

TiO2 sols were prepared by the controlled hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride. ARG-modified TiO2 was placed in water and purged anoxically with an inert gas. Suspensions were spiked with elevated mercury concentrations (from mercuric chloride) and equilibrated for 10 min in darkness (with continuous stirring). Suspensions were either illuminated with 253.7 nm light or kept in darkness while mixing continuously. Samples were periodically withdrawn from the reactor via syringe and filtered anoxically. Precipitate collected on the filters was tested for elemental mercury; filtrate was analyzed for mercury using cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Results showed that in the absence of light, approximately 60% of initial mercury could be sorbed onto the ARG-modified TiO2 [ARG (1.67×10−3 M), TiO2 (5.00×10−3 M)]. ARG-modified TiO2 removed greater than 99.9% of the initial mercury (150 ppm) present in solution within 128 min of illumination through sorption and reduction processes. This removal time was reduced to 32 min when methanol was added as a hole scavenger. These sorption and reduction processes were catalytic in nature. The presence of 30 ppm iron(III) greatly inhibits both the sorption and the reduction of mercury on ARG-modified TiO2.

Nanosized (45 A˚) colloids of anatase TiO2 were synthesized through the controlled hydrolysis of TiCl4 and their surfaces modified with the bidental chelating agent thiolactic acid (TLA). Colloids were introduced into 65 ppm cadmium-laden waters, and the suspensions were purged aerobically, anoxically with an inert gas, or by a sequential aerobic/anoxic purge. Suspensions were illuminated with 253.7 nm light. In each experiment, samples were taken from the reactor, filtered, and the filtrates analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy for residual cadmium. Results from the aerobic experiments exhibited minimal (approximately 10%) removal of the cadmium from solution and no reduction of the metal on either the modified or the unmodified colloid. Anoxic results were more promising, showing no cadmium reduction on the unmodified colloid but a 40% adsorption and reduction (from a +2 valence state to elemental cadmium as determined by methyl viologen tests) of cadmium on TLA-modified colloid in the presence of light. Results from the mixed atmospheric conditions fared the best and demonstrated that in the absence of light, approximately 20% of aqueous cadmium was sorbed to the modified colloid via a Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Upon illumination, greater than 90% of cadmium was removed by both adsorption and reduction processes onto the TLA-modified TiO2. These removal and reduction processes were catalytic in nature. Results from this study are significant because to date, no other research in the literature has been able to accomplish cadmium removal and reduction using TiO2.

The Reynolds stress transport model of the FLUENTTM code was used for evaluating the river flow characteristics, including the mean velocity field and the Reynolds stress components. The simulation results were compared with the available experimental data of the river model and discussed. The Lagrangian tracking of individual particles was performed, and the transport and deposition of particles of various sizes in the meandering river were analyzed. Particular attention was given to the sedimentation patterns of different size particles in the river-bend model. The flow patterns in a physical river were also studied. A Froude number based scale ratio of 1:100 was used, and the flow patterns in the physical and river models are compared. The result shows that the mean-flow quantities exhibit dynamic similarity, but the turbulence parameters of the physical river are different from the model. More strikingly, the particle sedimentation features in the physical and river models do not obey the expected similarity scaling.

This study compares abstracted, homogeneous representations of porosity and permeability, mineral surface areas and distributions, to discrete distribution representation of these same properties. Discretization was accomplished by high-resolution (ca. 1 μm2) characterization of fractured tuffaceous rock from Yucca Mountain, Nevada, using optical microscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. A sample area of 106 μm2 was mapped in detail, and the resulting element and porosity maps were digitized. The domain was decomposed into 12,208 cells that were 8.77 × 10−6 m on a side. Simulations were conducted in which a dilute fluid enters the discretized porous medium at modest flow rates. Simulation results using a discrete mineral distribution point to the conclusion that slow flow rates, in which fluid residence times are on the order of days, provide fluid composition results that are very similar to those obtained from the homogeneous mineral distribution representation. At higher flow rates, where fluid residence times are on the order of hours, contrasts in fluid composition persist throughout the flow domain. The results demonstrate that the fluid composition characteristics in the homogeneous and discrete mineral representations will be similar only when the bulk average contact times for the individual mineral phases along the flow paths are approximately equivalent (within a few percent) for the two cases.

Lithium sorbs weakly by cation exchange and permits field-scale testing of laboratory-based predictions of reactive-solute transport. A series of laboratory studies show that Li sorption is nonlinear and varies with lithology in the different horizons of the tuff. In particular, both Li sorption and Li-specific cation-exchange capacity vary as functions of tuff mineralogy, and can be predicted given quantitative X-ray diffraction data. These results indicate that Li sorption is dominated by clay and zeolite minerals, and that sorption coefficients can be predicted given mineralogic analysis results.

These tests are intended to improve our understanding of unsaturated-zone transport processes, and to test our ability to predict field-scale behavior using laboratory-scale measurements. The field tests use a mixture of nonreactive and reactive tracers. Nonreactive tracers include Br−, I−, 5 different fluorobenzoic acids, Na fluorescein, and a pyridone derivative. Reactive tracers include the metals Li, Mn, Co, and Ni, and the organic dye rhodamine WT. Rock samples from 3 different stratigraphic units at the Busted Butte test facility have been extensively characterized lithologically and mineralogically, and analyzed for Fe and Mn oxide content. Sorption of Np, Pu, Am and the field tracers onto these 3 rocks has been measured using batch techniques. Results confirm that the nonreactive tracers are indeed nonreactive, and show that sorption of radionuclides and sorbing tracers increases with increasing degree of rock alteration, as evidenced by increasing levels of smectite and Fe and Mn oxides. Among the radionuclides, Am and Pu sorb much more strongly than Np; the tracers'' degree of sorption is rhodamine WT&z.dbnd6;Li≪Mnf1wyang@uark.edu 2: Oak Ridge National Lab, Bioenergy Feedstock Development Program, Oak Ridge, TN, 37831-6422, USAf2sokhansanjs@ornl.gov 3: Food Engineering Program, Department of Biological Systems Engineering, Washington State University, Pullman, WA, 99164-6120, USAf3jtang@mail.wsu.edu 4: Hinz Automation, Inc. 410 Jessop Ave. Saskatoon, SK, Canada, S7N 2S5f4phil.winter@sask.hinz.com; Source Info: Jun2002, Vol. 82 Issue 2, p169; Subject Term: BORAGE; Subject Term: CROPS -- Postharvest technology; Subject Term: MOISTURE -- Measurement; Subject Term: THERMAL diffusivity; NAICS/Industry Codes: 115114 Postharvest Crop Activities (except Cotton Ginning); Number of Pages: 8p; Document Type: Article L3 - 10.1006/bioe.2002.0066 UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=8518398&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - aph ER - TY - JOUR AU - Williams, P.

X-ray and scanning Auger microanalysis show evidence of the formation of hydrate product on the surface of both fly ash and CH particles at early ages. This finding suggests a new mechanism to explain prior data that shows that the hydration rates increase with increasing CH–ash content in the starting mixture.

The flow rate of methane is 0.066 kg/m2-s, comparable to fuel burning rates in a large JP8 pool fire. Raw PIV images are recorded with 35 mm cinematography at 200 images/s. They are digitized and post-processed to obtain velocity data for a region ∼0.8 m high by 1 m wide centered on the centerline of the flame and extending from just above the surface of the burner to include the fuel core, near-field combusting zones, and surrounding air. The data cover 11 puff cycles of the fire. Instantaneous, phase-, and time-averaged 2-D velocity plots (103 × 82 vectors) are obtained for each of 1331 time-planes (121 time-planes per puff cycle) spaced 5 ms apart. Each vector represents a statistical estimate of the velocity in 2.1 cm by 2.1 cm by 0.8 cm volumes, which are overlapped by 50% in the vector plots. Time-averaged turbulent statistics (u′2, v′2, & u′v′) are also presented. Boundary conditions have been carefully measured and the results are intended for validation of numerical simulations of the fire behavior. The results clearly show the dominant effect of puffing, measured at 1.65 cycles/s for this fire, on the temporal and spatial development of the velocity field.

Unfortunately, they have not been widely used in part because of implementation difficulties for unstructured mesh solvers. To facilitate use, a multilevel preconditioner software module, ML, has been constructed. Several methods are provided requiring relatively modest programming effort on the part of the application developer. This report discusses the implementation of one method in the module: a two-level Krylov–Schwarz preconditioner. To illustrate the use of these methods in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) engineering applications, we present results for 2D and 3D CFD benchmark problems.

The emphasis is on the development and validation of material models applicable to Si3N4/BN FMs in both unidirectional and cross-ply architectures. Approximate analytical models are developed for the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) based on the analysis of representative unit cells of the Si3N4 fibers and the surrounding BN interphase. The pertinent cell shapes are identified from quantitative measurements on real Si3N4/BN FMs. Corresponding finite element analyses are performed on the same unit cells for the purpose of validating the analytical models. Good agreement is obtained between the model predictions and experimental measurements of CTE. A rudimentary modification to the analytical model to account for texturing and anisotropy of the BN appears to yield adequate results.

In order to positionally clone this gene, high resolution genetic and radiation hybrid maps were generated along with a detailed physical map of the approximately 500-kb region containing the jcpk gene. Additionally, sixty-nine kidney-specific ESTs were evaluated as candidates for jcpk and subsequently localized throughout the mouse genome by radiation hybrid mapping analysis. Previous studies indicating non-complementation of the jcpk mutation and 67Gso, a new PKD translocation mutant had suggested that 67Gso represents a new allele of jcpk. Fluoresence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using key bacterial artificial chromosome clones from the jcpk critical region, refined the 67Gso breakpoint and provided support for the allelism of jcpk and 67Gso.

Whereas a goal of delineating ‘ecosystem services’ is to make readily apparent some of the important ways in which ecosystems underpin human welfare, insights are also gained by appreciating the nonlinear dynamic properties of ecosystems. In this paper, we review some of the relevant characteristics of complex systems. Ecosystems and economic systems share many properties, but valuation has typically been driven by short-term human preferences. Here we argue that as the force of humanity increases on the planet, ecosystem service valuation will need to switch from choosing among resources to valuing the avoidance of catastrophic ecosystem change.

The metal oxide 0.95LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2·0.05Li2TiO3 (x=0.95) which can also be represented in layered notation as Li(Mn0.46Ni0.46Ti0.05Li0.02)O2, can react with one equivalent of lithium during an initial discharge from 3.2 to 1.4 V vs. Li0. The electrochemical reaction, which corresponds to a theoretical capacity of 286 mAh/g, is hypothesized to form Li2(Mn0.46Ni0.46Ti0.05Li0.02)O2 that is isostructural with Li2MnO2 and Li2NiO2. Similar low-voltage electrochemical behavior is also observed with unsubstituted, standard LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 electrodes (x=1). In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data of Li(Mn0.46Ni0.46Ti0.05Li0.02)O2 electrodes indicate that the low-voltage (<1.8 V) reaction is associated primarily with the reduction of Mn4+ to Mn2+. Symmetric rocking-chair cells with the configuration Li(Mn0.46Ni0.46Ti0.05Li0.02)O2/Li(Mn0.46Ni0.46Ti0.05Li0.02)O2 were tested. These electrodes provide a rechargeable capacity in excess of 300 mAh/g when charged and discharged over a 3.3 to −3.3 V range and show an insignificant capacity loss on the initial cycle. These findings have implications for combating the capacity-loss effects at graphite, metal–alloy, or intermetallic negative electrodes against lithium metal-oxide positive electrodes of conventional lithium-ion cells.

For several structural and material configurations of building envelope components containing high thermal mass and/or two- and three-dimensional thermal bridges, one-dimensional analysis may generate serious errors in building loads estimation. The method of coupling three-dimensional heat transfer modeling and dynamic hot-box tests for complex wall systems with the whole building thermal simulations is presented in this paper. This procedure can increase the accuracy of the whole building thermal modeling.Current thermal modeling and calculation procedures tend to overestimate the actual field thermal performance of today’s popular building envelope designs, which utilize modern building technologies (sometimes highly conductive structural materials) and feature large fenestration areas and floor plans with many exterior wall corners. Some widely used computer codes were calibrated using field data obtained from light weight wood frame buildings. The same codes are used now for thermal modeling of high mass buildings with significant heat accumulation effects. Also, the effects of extensive thermal shorts on the whole building thermal performance is not accurately reflected by the commonly used one-dimensional energy simulations that are the current bases for building envelopes and systems designing.

SN - 09430105 AB - Discrete network models are one of the approaches used to simulate a dissolved contaminant, which is usually represented as a tracer in modeling studies, in fractured rocks. The discrete models include large numbers of individual fractures within the network structure, with flow and transport described on the scale of an individual fracture. Numerical simulations for the mixing characteristics and transfer probabilities of a tracer through a fracture intersection are performed for this study. A random-walk, particle-tracking model is applied to simulate tracer transport in fracture intersections by moving particles through space using individual advective and diffusive steps. The simulation results are compared with existing numerical and analytical solutions for a continuous intersection over a wide range of Peclet numbers. This study attempts to characterize the relative concentration at the outflow branches for a continuous intersection with different flow fields. The simulation results demonstrate that the mixing characteristics at the fracture intersections are a function not only of the Peclet number, but also of the flow field pattern.

SN - 09430105 AB - Data from hydrogeochemical logging in two observation wells at the Kesterson Reservoir (Central Valley, California) are considered. The wells are equipped with polyvinyl chloride risers, the internal diameter of the wells is 10.16 cm. The logging used a multi-channel hydrogeochemical probe. Measurements were performed under undisturbed conditions and after purging the wells. Comparison of the logging data obtained before and after purging revealed that under undisturbed conditions water in the both wells was less mineralized and more oxidized than formation water. This can be explained by periodic condensation of air moisture on the internal surface of the well casing above the water level due to daily temperature variations at the site. Theoretical estimation shows that the depth–temperature distribution causes free thermal convection in the both wells that leads to a movement of less mineralized water from the top of the wells down to the well screens. This conclusion is confirmed by the characteristics of water salinity at the screen depths measured before and after purging.

SN - 09430105 AB - A joint Russian and US model intercomparison study was undertaken to develop more realistic contaminant transport models of the Mayak Site, southern Urals. The test problems were developed by the Russian team based on their experience in modeling contaminant migration near Lake Karachai. The intercomparison problems were designed to address lake and contaminant plume interactions, as well as river interactions and plume-density effects. Different numerical codes were used. Overall, there was good agreement between the results of both models. Features shown by both models include (1) the sinking of the plume below the lake, (2) the raising of the water table in the fresh water adjacent to the lake in response to the increased pressure from the dense plume, and (3) the formation of a second sinking plume in an area where evapotranspiration exceeded infiltration, thus increasing the solute concentrations above the source (i.e., lake) values.

JO - Environmental Geology JF - Environmental Geology Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 42 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 235 EP - 247 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09430105 AB - Increasing concern about radioactive contamination of groundwater from underground nuclear tests has reinforced the need for a basic understanding of how the radionuclide inventories of such tests enter and migrate through groundwater. As a basis for studying these processes, the physically and thermally disturbed geologic environment produced by such tests and its relation to the post-test distribution of radionuclides is discussed from a conceptual perspective. These concepts are used to support the development of a reactive transport model to evaluate the nature and extent of radionuclide contamination within alluvium surrounding a specific underground nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Simulations are focused on determining the abundance and chemical nature of radionuclides that are introduced into groundwater, as well as the rate and extent of radionuclide migration and reaction in groundwater surrounding the working point of the test. Transport simulations based upon a streamline-based numerical model are used to illustrate the nature of radionuclide elution out of the near-field environment and illustrate the conceptual modeling process. The numerical approach allowed for relatively complex flow and chemical reactions to be considered in a computationally efficient manner. The results are particularly sensitive to the rate of melt glass dissolution, distribution of reactive minerals in the alluvium, and overall groundwater flow configuration. They provide a rational basis from which defensible migration assessments over larger spatial and temporal scales can proceed.

JO - Environmental Geology JF - Environmental Geology Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 42 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 275 EP - 281 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09430105 AB - Carbon management through the underground injection of CO2 into subsurface brine formations is being actively studied. If there are no technological constraints for implementation, there could be a large number of wells constructed for injecting a large volume of CO2. It is therefore important, in parallel with current scientific studies, to consider the appropriate, science-based regulatory framework for CO2 injection. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, authorized under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), has extensive experience in regulating the injection of mainly liquid wastes into geologic formations in the United States. The federal requirements and permit process implemented by EPA and the Primacy States since 1980 have played a critical role in the safety of subsurface disposal of liquid wastes in the US. Physically and chemically, there are significant differences between CO2 and common liquid wastes. Its viscosity and density are much lower and, under injection pressure in the deep formation, it may be under supercritical conditions. Because of the lower density and viscosity, CO2 leakage through the confining strata may be greater when compared to currently injected liquid wastes. Also, the chemical interactions of CO2 with the geologic formation have their own characteristics. All these scientific factors need to be evaluated to identify new guidelines for appropriate regulatory and monitoring controls. The paper reviews current UIC regulations, injection-well classification scheme and monitoring requirements, and identifies the unique factors related to the physical and chemical processes in the subsurface associated with CO2 injection. Implications of these scientific considerations for regulation development are discussed.

JO - Environmental Geology JF - Environmental Geology Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 42 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 282 EP - 295 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09430105 AB - Injection of CO2 into saline aquifers is described by mass conservation equations for the three components water, salt (NaCl), and CO2. The equations are discretized using an integral finite difference method, and are solved using methods developed in geothermal and petroleum reservoir engineering. Phase change processes are treated through switching of primary thermodynamic variables. A realistic treatment of PVT (fluid) properties is given which includes salinity and fugacity effects for partitioning of CO2 between gaseous and aqueous phases. Chemical reactions and mechanical stress effects are neglected. Numerical simulations are presented for injection of CO2 into a brine aquifer, and for loss of CO2 from storage through discharge along a fault zone. It is found that simulated pressures are much more sensitive to space discretization effects than are phase saturations. CO2 discharge along a fault is a self-enhancing process whose flow rates can increase over time by more than an order of magnitude, suggesting that reliable containment of CO2 will require multiple barriers.

SN - 09430105 AB - A numerical study of hydromechanical changes during a deep underground injection of supercritical CO2 in a hypothetical brine aquifer/caprock system is conducted. The injection process is simulated using a newly developed computer model for multi-phase analysis of CO2 and brine water flow, coupled with heat transfer and rock deformations. In this modeling, CO2 is injected at a constant rate over a 10-year period at a depth of 1,300–1,500 m. The injection zone is overlain by a 100-m-thick caprock, located at 1,200–1,300 m, which in one of the studied cases is intersected by a vertical fault. The hydraulic, mechanical as well as hydromechanical responses caused by the injection are studied. This includes the spread of the CO2 plume, effective stress changes, ground surface uplift, stress-induced permeability changes, and mechanical failure analysis. The analysis shows that most hydromechanical changes are induced in the lower part of the caprock near its contact with the injection zone, whereas the sealing mechanism of the upper part may remain intact, despite an injection pressure close to the lithostratic stress value.

The method was capable of ranking ecosystems in terms of environmental conditions and suggesting cumulative impacts across a large region. Using data on land cover, population, roads, streams, air pollution, and topography of the Mid-Atlantic region, we were able to point out areas that were in relatively poor condition and/or vulnerable to future deterioration. The method offered an easy and comprehensive way to combine the strengths of fuzzy set theory and the AHP for ecological assessment. Furthermore, the suggested method can serve as a building block for the evaluation of environmental policies.

For each plasma “shot” on NSTX about 75 MBs of data is acquired and loaded into MDSplus hierarchical data structures in 2–3 min. Physicists adapted to the MDSplus software tools with no real difficulty. Some locally developed tools are described. The support from the developers at MIT was timely and insightful. The use of MDSplus has resulted in significant cost savings for NSTX.

Interaction with these proprietary software packages is accomplished through use of Visual Basic, or Visual C++ and Component Object Model (com) technology. com is a software architecture that allows the components made by different software vendors to be combined into a variety of applications. This technology is particularly well suited to these systems because of its programming language independence, standards for function calling between components, and ability to transparently reference remote processes. com objects make possible the creation of acquisition software that can control the experimental parameters of both the hardware and software. Synchronization of these applications for diagnostics, such as charged couple device cameras and residual gas analyzers, with the rest of the experiment event cycle at PPPL has been made possible by utilization of the MDSplus libraries for Windows. Instead of transferring large data files to remote disk space, Windows MDSplus events and I/O functions allow us to put raw data into MDSplus directly from interactive data language for Windows and Visual Basic. The combination of com technology and the MDSplus libraries for Windows provide the tools for many new possibilities in versatile acquisition applications and future diagnostics.

Scientists therefore miss the opportunity to use these results to guide experiments quickly. With a dedicated Beowulf type cluster at a cost less than that of a workstation, these analyses can be accomplished between pulses and the analyzed data made available for the research team during the tokamak operation. A Linux PC cluster comprised of 12 processors was installed at DIII-D National Fusion Facility in CY00 and expanded to 24 processors in CY01 to automatically perform between-pulse magnetic equilibrium reconstructions using the efit code written in fortran, cer analyses using cerquick code written in interactive data language (idl) and full profile fitting analyses (ne, Te, Ti, Vr, Zeff) using idl code zipfit. This paper reports the current status of the system, the details of the between-pulse profile fitting analyses, and discusses some problems and concerns raised during the implementation and expansion of the system.

From the measurements, we determine long-term, time-integrated rates of upland sediment generation (81±5 g m−2 year−1) and bedrock equivalent lowering (30±2 m Ma−1) consistent with other estimates for regions of similar climate, lithology, and topography.In a small (∼8 km2), upland sub-basin, differences in nuclide concentrations between bedrock outcrops and hillslope colluvium suggest weathering of bedrock beneath a colluvial cover is a more significant source of sediment (40×104 kg year−1) than weathering of exposed bedrock surfaces (10×104 kg year−1). Mixing models constructed from nuclide concentrations of sediment reservoirs identify important sediment source areas. Hillslope colluvium is the dominant sediment source to the upper reaches of the sub-basin channel; channel cutting of alluvial terraces is the dominant source in the lower reaches. Similarities in nuclide concentrations of various sediment reservoirs indicate short sediment storage times (<103 years).Nuclide concentrations, measured in channel sediment from tributaries of Yuma Wash and in samples collected along the length of the Wash, were used to construct mixing models and determine sediment sources to the main stem channel. We find an exponential decrease in the channel nuclide concentrations with distance downstream, suggesting that as much as 40% of sediment discharged from Yuma Wash has been recycled from storage within basin fill alluvium.Sediment generation and denudation rates determined from the main stem are greater (25%) than rates determined from upland sub-basins suggesting that, currently, sediment may be exported from the basin more quickly than it is being generated in the uplands. Independence of nuclide concentration and sediment grain size indicates that channels transport sediment in discrete pulses before rapidly depositing poorly sorted material, suggesting that differences in transport times for different size materials are minimal.

Cosmogenic nuclide-based models suggest that the Iron and Granite Mountains generate 0.11–0.13 and 0.082–0.097 m3 of sediment per year per meter of rangefront, respectively. The sediment moves down the piedmont in an active transport layer (ATL), which is 20 to 30 cm thick (based on visual observations, measurements of depth to a buried B-horizon, cosmogenic nuclide data, and maximum ephemeral channel depths). Sediment in this layer is well-mixed vertically and horizontally on the 102 year time scale, indicating that the small ephemeral channels, which dominate the piedmont surface migrate quickly. Interpretive models of increasing nuclide activities at depth in two pits suggest steady sediment deposition on the piedmont (at rates between 17–21 and 38–45 m Ma−1) until the late Pleistocene epoch, when a discontinuity to markedly lower nuclide activities in the isotopically well-mixed active transport layer suggests that deposition stopped, a significant change in piedmont behavior. Nuclide activities in 10 amalgamated surface samples, each collected along a different 4-km-long transect, increase steadily away from the mountain front. Thus, we infer that sediment is uniformly dosed by cosmic rays as it is transported down the Iron and Granite Mountain piedmonts. Interpretive models suggest that long-term average sediment speeds down the Iron and Granite Mountain piedmonts are a few decimeters to a meter per year.

As shown in this paper, there is a direct relationship between such displacement and reservoir dynamics. This relationship is exploited in order to image fluid flow at two geothermal field sites. At the first locality, the Hijiori Hot Dry Rock (HDR) test site, 17 tilt meters record deformation associated with a 2.2 km deep injection experiment. Images of fluid migration along a ring fracture system of the collapsed Hijiori caldera are obtained. At the Okuaizu geothermal field, leveling and tilt meter data provide constraints on long- and short-term fluid movement within the reservoir. A set of 119 leveling data suggest that the north-to-northeast trending Takiyagawa fault acts as a barrier to flow. The northwesterly oriented Chinoikezawa and Sarukurazawa faults appear to channel fluid from the southeast. The tilt data from Okuaizu indicate that a fault paralleling the Takiyagawa fault zone acts as a conduit to transient flow, on a time scale of several weeks. The volume strain in a region adjacent to the injection wells reaches a maximum and then decreases with time. The transient propagation of fluid along the fault may be due to pressure build-up, resulting from the re-initiation of injection.

Net CO2 exchange can be estimated on an annual basis, using eddy-covariance techniques or from ecological inventories of C fluxes to and from a forest. Here we present an intercomparison of annual estimates of C exchange in a mixed hardwood forest in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest, Indiana, USA for two years, 1998 and 1999. Based on eddy-covariance measurements made at 1.8 times canopy height from a tower, C uptake by the forest was 237 and 287 g C m-2 y-1 for 1998 and 1999, respectively. For the same time period, biometric and ecophysiological measures and modelled estimates of all significant carbon fluxes within deciduous forests were made, including: change in living biomass, aboveground and belowground detritus production, foliage consumption, and forest floor and soil respiration. Using this ecological inventory method for these same two time periods, C uptake was estimated to be 271 and 377 g C m-2 y-1 , which are 14.3% and 31.4% larger, respectively, than the tower-based values. The relative change between this method's annual estimates is consistent with that of the eddy-covariance based values. Our results indicate that the difference in annual C exchange rates was due to reduced heterotrophic soil respiration in 1999.

RF energy was applied to the liquids while heat was simultaneously removed to control temperature. Turbulent flow was maintained to minimize localized heating. An 18 MHz RF processor applied an approximately 0.5 kV/cm electric field strength to the liquids. It was capable of pasteurizing the liquids provided that cooling was minimized. There were no non-thermal effects of RF energy detected on Escherichia coli K-12, Listeria innocua, or yeast in apple cider, beer, deionized water, liquid whole egg, and tomato juice; nor were there any synergistic effects of RF energy with heat. The low temperature effects of RF energy at 18 MHz and 0.5 kV/cm were due to heat.

Low temperature experiments from 600 to 1000 °C revealed that unoxidized material initially forms a mixed molybdenum and silicon oxide scale. The unoxidized material undergoes rapid mass loss over a narrow temperature range of 660–760 °C, with complete disintegration of the material occurring at about 730 °C. At temperatures above about 760 °C, a coherent glassy scale forms to protect the alloy from further oxidation. High temperature oxidation tests from 1150 to 1600 °C show that the material forms a continuous glassy scale, 10–20 μm in thickness, which protects the underlying alloy. Steady state oxidation kinetics were not achieved until exposure at 1600 °C, due to the effect of contamination introduced during green extrusion processing. The calculated parabolic rate constant at 1600 °C is 9.7×10−3 mg2/cm4/h, which compares favorably to that of MoSi2-based materials. The observed oxidation behavior and kinetics over the entire temperature range were not significantly influenced by sample porosity (79% versus 96% of theoretical density). Boron depletion of the near-surface scale was observed at 1150 °C, leading to the formation of pure silica in the outer portion of the scale. The extent and rate of boron evaporation increased significantly as temperature increased to 1600 °C. Formation of pure silica in the scale implies that oxygen transport through silica must be the rate-limiting step in the high temperature oxidation of these alloys.

The enthalpy-of-formation data indicate that both geometric and electronic factors are important in stabilizing Laves phases. Analysis of enthalpy data reveals that there are metallic, covalent, and ionic bonds, or a mixed metallic-covalent-ionic bond, in Laves phases. The enthalpies of formation for binary transition-metal lanthanide Laves phases including ReCo2, ReNi2, ReFe2, ReRu2, ReRh2, ReOs2, ReIr2, and RePt2 (Re—lanthanide element), as calculated by the semiempirical Miedema model, are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental data. This indicates that Miedema''s theory is capable of predicting the enthalpy of formation of transition-metal lanthanide Laves-phase systems.

The contact adhesive forces between two surfaces, one being a soft hemisphere and the other being a hard plate, can readily be determined by applying an external compressive load to join the two surfaces, and by subsequently applying a tensile load to assess the energy dissipation mechanisms involved in the debonding process. In the present work, we monitor the interactions between a diglycidyl epoxy elastomer and an aluminum oxide substrate in the presence of an organic contaminant, as a means to evaluate the level of contamination at a surface. Moreover, we present a method by which surface contamination can be quantified using a single number, referred to as the adhesion hysteresis parameter, H.

The system is assessed for the practical application of hydrogen production via reforming of liquid gasoline-like fuels. The catalyst has been previously used for reforming of different types of hydrocarbons, demonstrating good performances in terms of hydrogen production for temperatures as high as 800°C. In this work, a non-equilibrium plasma source is coupled to the catalytic unit. A pulsed corona reactor is used as a non-equilibrium plasma source at atmospheric pressure. The performances of combined reformation system are characterized experimentally in terms of hydrogen yield and electric power consumption. Hydrogen conversion and byproduct composition are determined and quantified with respect to power consumption, reactor temperature, input reactant composition, and configuration of the experimental setup.

TOUGH2 is a well-established code for geohydrological analysis with multiphase, multicomponent fluid flow and heat transport, while FLAC3D is a widely used commercial code that is designed for rock and soil mechanics with thermomechanical and hydromechanical interactions. In this study, the codes are sequentially executed and linked through external coupling modules: one that dictates changes in effective stress as a function of multi-phase pore pressure and thermal expansion, and one that corrects porosity, permeability, and capillary pressure for changes in stress. The capability of a linked TOUGH-FLAC simulator is demonstrated on two complex coupled problems related to injection and storage of carbon dioxide in aquifers and to disposal of nuclear waste in unsaturated fractured porous media.

When heated in air, the NdCl 3 L compounds decompose by a mechanism involving oxidation of the amide ligand to CO 2 and HCl. Some free armide is also released in the thermal decomposition in air. However, when heated under nitrogen, clean release of DMA or DMF is observed. In both cases, the amide is released two steps. From 30 to 40% of the amide is initially released with little or no associated enthalpy as measured by DTA. As the temperature is increased, the remaining 60 to 70% of the amide is released via an endothermic process. The enthalpy for this release is 53.1 ± 3.8 kJ/mole for DMF and 40.9 ± 1.1 kJ/mole for DMA, suggesting that DMF binds more strongly to Nd(III) than does DMA. Steric effects caused by the additional methyl group in DMA might be responsible for the weaker binding of this amide compared to DMF.

The effectiveness of signature versus commonly used descriptors in QSAR analysis is demonstrated by correlating the activities of 121 HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Our approach to the inverse-QSAR problem consists of first finding the optimum sets of descriptor values best matching a target activity and then generating a focused library of candidate structures from the solution set of descriptor values. Both steps are facilitated by the use of signature.

The reaction probability of water with LiH cleaved in an ultra high vacuum environment was obtained using the modulated molecular beam technique. This probability was 0.11 and independent of LiH surface temperature, suggesting a negligible activation energy for the reaction in agreement with quantum chemical calculations. The value gradually reduced, however, to 0.007 as the surface concentration of oxygen containing product approached full coverage. As the film grew beyond a monolayer, the phase lag of hydrogen product increased from 0 °C to 20 °C and the reaction probability reduced further until it approached our detection limit (∼10−4). This phase lag was attributed to a diffusion-limited process in this regime. For micrometer thick hydroxide films grown in high moisture concentration environment on LiD and LiH, the reaction probability reduced to ∼4×10−7 and was independent of exposure time. In this regime of thick hydroxide films (LiOH and/or LiOD), microcracks generated in the films to release stress provided easier pathways for moisture to reach the interface. A modified microscope, capable of both atomic force microscopy and nanoindentation, was also employed to investigate the surface morphology of hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH · H2O and/or LiOD · H2O) grown on hydroxide at high water vapor partial pressures and the kinetics of this growth.

Enthalpy of drop solution data, ΔHds, were used to calculate enthalpies of formation with respect to an oxide phase assemblage, ΔH0f−ox: CaO+MO2+2TiO2=CaMTi2O7 or Gd2O3+2TiO2=Gd2Ti2O7, and an oxide/perovskite phase assemblage, ΔH0f−pv+ox: CaTiO3+MO2+TiO2=CaMTi2O7, where M=Ce or U. All three pyrochlore samples were stable in enthalpy relative to an oxide assemblage with ΔH0f−ox (kJ/mol) (Gd2Ti2O7)=−113.4±2.8; ΔH0f−ox(Ca1.46U4+0.23U6+0.46Ti1.85O7.00)=−123.1±3.4; ΔH0f−ox(Ca0.93Ce1.00Ti2.035O7.00)=−54.1±5.2. U-pyrochlore was stable in enthalpy relative to an oxide/perovskite assemblage (ΔH0f−pv+ox=−5.1±4.0 kJ/mol). Ce-pyrochlore was metastable in enthalpy relative to the oxide/perovskite phase assemblage (ΔH0f−pv+ox=+21.0±5.5 kJ/mol). A significant metastability field was defined with respect to an oxide/perovskite phase assemblage. However, the proposed waste form baseline composition lies in the stable regions of the phase diagrams.

Phototolysis of 1 (λirr>400 nm) and 2 (350<λirr<400 nm) give new species, A, with carbonyl stretching bands slightly below the parent bands. In the case of 1 this species appears to give rise to a second product, C, upon either extended photolysis or annealing. High-energy photolysis of 1, 2, and 4, result in loss of CO and formation of an IR silent species, RhL2Cl. In the case of 1 a new carbonyl species, B, is observed upon high-energy photolysis or annealing of a matrix containing CO and Rh(PMe3)2Cl. B may be converted to 1 by either back photolysis or annealing. Compound 3 undergoes photochemical CO-loss to form two isomeric photoproducts. Comparison of the carbonyl stretching frequencies of phosphine and ammine derivatives and photoproducts made it possible to eliminate PR3 loss as the source of A. DFT calculations suggest that A may be a non-planar, triplet excited state of 1 or 2. DFT calculations also support the assignment of B to cis-Rh(CO)(PMe3)2Cl.

The fuel reformer and the results of initial tests are discussed. The fuel processor assembly consists of two vaporizer/preheaters, a heat exchanger, a combustor, and a steam reformer. Methanol was identified as a good candidate for use in the microscale reformer. A proprietary catalyst was developed to reform methanol. The catalyst was able to process a methanol water mixture (1:1 by weight) into a hydrogen-rich stream composed of 73–74 vol% H2, 25–26 vol% CO2, and 0.6–1.2 vol% CO on a dry basis. Almost 3 mols of hydrogen per mol of methanol reacted, which approached the theoretical maximum. An integrated fuel processor that used proprietary catalyst in the reformer and catalytic combustion to provide the heat was designed and built. The reformer and combustor were each less than 5 mm3 in volume. When 100 mWe of hydrogen was produced, a thermal efficiency of 9%, or an estimated 4.5% net efficiency (including a hypothetical fuel cell), was achieved.

These carbons are quite different from natural graphite, which has a well-ordered layer planes where intercalation occur and two distinct surface sites, i.e. basal and edge plane sites. In the case of the fibers, intercalation occur by a single plane (circular area) or by two planes, the circular area and the cylindrical edge. For MCMBs, because of its sphere-like structure, this type of carbon is able to intercalate lithium ions more uniformly (i.e. 360°). The effect of additives (B, Ag and Sn) in the two carbon samples (CF and MCMB) on the electrochemical performance was also investigated.

New data on size distribution and the axial repeat distance of hydrated and dehydrated collagen type I fibrils are presented. Polished dentin disks from third molars were partially demineralized with citric acid, leaving proteins and the collagen matrix. At this stage collagen fibrils were not resolved by AFM, but after exposure to NaOClaq for 100–240 s, and presumably due to the removal of noncollagenous proteins, individual collagen fibrils and the fibril network of dentin connected to the mineralized substrate were revealed. High-aspect-ratio silicon tips in tapping mode were used to image the soft fibril network. Hydrated fibrils showed three distinct groups of diameters: 100, 91, and 83 nm and a narrow distribution of the axial repeat distance at 67 nm. Dehydration resulted in a broad distribution of the fibril diameters between 75 and 105 nm and a division of the axial repeat distance into three groups at 67, 62, and 57 nm. Subfibrillar features (4 nm) were observed on hydrated and dehydrated fibrils. The gap depth between the thick and thin repeating segments of the fibrils varied from 3 to 7 nm. Phase mode revealed mineral particles on the transition from the gap to the overlap zone of the fibrils. This method appears to be a powerful tool for the analysis of fibrillar collagen structures in calcified tissues and may aid in understanding the differences in collagen affected by chemical treatments or by diseases.

In hexoses, the orientation of the 4-hydroxyl group plays a key role in controlling alumina-suspension rheology. The green strength and the sintering densification of slip cast alumina pellets were not affected by the addition of 5 wt.% of either arabinose, xylose, mannitol, or maltitol.

We focus on the question of how to increase the alumina concentration to the highest level possible and still maintain a sufficient degree of plasticity to enable shape forming by plastic molding. We showed that, without polysaccharide, 30 vol.% alumina suspensions are thixotropic. These suspensions exhibited highly fluid, Bingham-plastic-like behavior upon the addition of maltodextrins and dextrans having low molecular weight. Branching of polysaccharide additives is not beneficial for the rheology of 30 vol.% alumina suspensions and 52-vol.%-alumina-filter-cakes. We observed that maltodextrins and potato dextrin (6.6 kDa) enabled filtration of plastic masses of alumina that were easily ram pressed. These materials dried into a strong, crack-free condition that could be handled without breaking.

T1 - Magnetic resonance studies of laryngeal tumors implanted in nude mice: effect of treatment with bleomycin and electroporation☆ Both the groups at Genetronics and Florida State University contributed equally JO - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (0730725X) JF - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (0730725X) Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 20 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 389 SN - 0730725X AB - Recently, a new type of cancer treatment has been introduced that combines pulsed electric fields (PEF) with anticancer drugs. The proposed mode of action is that PEF create transient pores in the membranes which allow entry of drugs into the cells. This method increases cytotoxicity of some anticancer drugs like bleomycin (BLM) by 2–3 orders of magnitude, which, in turn, reduces systemic drug dosage without decreasing efficacy. In the present study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to determine changes in apparent water self-diffusion coefficients (ADC) and spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times that occur in an animal laryngeal tumor (HEp-2 cells) model with BLM delivered by PEF. A Bruker 14 Tesla (600 MHz) wide-bore spectrometer with micro-imaging capability was used to generate all the data. Mice carrying ∼8 mm tumors were treated with several combinations of drug and PEF. All measurements were made on tumor samples excised from mice 24 and 48 hours after treatment with (i) saline, intratumor injection (i.t.), (ii) BLM, i.t., (iii) saline with PEF, and (iv) BLM, i.t., followed by PEF. Although T1 does not differ between the controls (i, ii, and iii) and full treatment (iv) 6.72 ± 0.20 s vs. 6.31 ± 1.7 s, T2 for (iv) at 24 hours is significantly different from the controls 52.4 ± 0.91 ms vs. 46.5 ± 1.54 ms. T2 differences between treatment and controls disappear at 48 hours. ADC increases significantly from 24 to 48 hours (7.31 ± 0.16 × 10−6 to 8.28 ± 0.28 × 10−6 cm2/sec, p = 0.05). Longer T2 values may reflect early apoptosis and tumor death when the tumor is structurally less dense. Higher ADC’s, associated with the periphery of the tumors and the central region, may indicate loose structural organization and necrosis resulting from the combination treatment.

The combustion reaction of a multilayer Ni/Al system takes place in a thermal explosion mode under near adiabatic conditions. The experimental results clearly show that the combustion reaction starts right after the melting of Al. From the start to completion, the reaction goes through three stages. In the first stage, the temperature rises from the melting point of aluminum to the decomposition temperature of the intermediate phase NiAl3, i.e. 854 °C. The reaction is the dissolution of nickel in liquid aluminum, with the formation of small amounts of intermediate phases NiAl3 and Ni2Al3 at the solid–liquid interface. In the second stage, the temperature of the system increases from 854 to about 1300 °C. The reaction is still the dissolution of nickel in liquid aluminum solution. However, due to supersaturation, solid NiAl precipitates out at about 1300 °C, generates a great deal of heat and increases the temperature suddenly. The third stage starts at about 1300 °C, and ends at the maximum reaction temperature. The reaction rate of this stage is much higher (two orders higher) than that of first and second stages. The final product, liquid NiAl, forms at this stage.

The anomalous hardening in γ-TiAl was believed to be linked to cross-slip behavior. Therefore, the stability of ordinary dislocations and the interaction energy of kink pairs or jog pairs in these cross-slip planes were examined to understand the cross-slip behavior. The energy factors and line tension for 1/2〈110] screw dislocations in γ-TiAl were calculated on the basis of the Sextic formalism. Inverse Wulff plots were applied to determine the instability of dislocations on (111), (110) and (001) glide planes. The dislocations are stable due to the convexity of the plots and always have positive line tension. The interaction energy in kink pairs on the cross-slip planes were calculated. The results show that the interaction energy was highly anisotropic in the cross-slip planes and was found to be the minimum on the (110) plane, which is consistent with the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations in the literature. The temperature effects on the stability and interaction energy were also investigated using six independent elastic constants at different temperatures.

Four compression axes, namely [001], near-[111], near-[101] and [100] were chosen. Plasticity occurred at and above 1573 K, whereas at 1473 K the crystals failed by brittle fracture before yielding. After high-temperature yielding, all crystals except the [001] crystal exhibited a large yield drop, followed by an apparent steady state flow. Slip traces of {110} and other relatively low index planes were observed on crystal surfaces. Dislocations were characterized on (001) slip plane by TEM, and 〈110〉(001) slip was identified. Considering the constant-stress flow behavior as a steady-state creep process, it was estimated that a stress component is about 6 and an apparent activation energy of deformation is approximately 490 kJ mol−1.

Macroalloying with vanadium (≈2%) improves ductility significantly in the disordered state, but only moderately in the ordered state. Brittle fracture is intergranular in the binary stoichiometric alloy, but is usually transgranular cleavage in the vanadium-containing alloy. Boron and carbon additions are shown not to suppress grain-boundary fracture nor improve the ductility of stoichiometric FeCo, but they produce significant ductility improvements in the ternary FeCo–2V alloy. The mechanism appears to be slip refinement by fine precipitates. It is also shown that for boron-doped (30 wppm) stoichiometric FeCo, the optimum vanadium content for good ductility is 2.1–2.5 wt.%.

The C15 phase field is continuous between NbCr2–TiCr2, with a maximum phase field width of at least 7 at.% solubility. The defect mechanism is governed by anti-site constitutional defects for all alloys. Mechanically, the alloys display a maximum in hardness in the center of the ternary phase field (and a minimum of toughness). The ternary phase field has features that are characteristic of solid-solution strengthening mechanisms. Finally, the elastic properties indicate that the alloys become stiffer in the middle of the ternary phase field. The best compromise of properties occurs furthest from stoichiometry in the ternary phase field at the nominal composition of Nb19Ti19Cr62. The relationships between the defect structure, elastic properties, and mechanical response for the C15 phases are discussed using a combination of atomic size arguments and electronic structure analyses. From these relationships, alloy design strategies for NbCr2-based alloys are evaluated.

Both extrusion temperature and boron concentration are important in controlling lamellar structures in the alloy. Uniform grain structures were formed in the alloy with >0.1% B, whereas abnormal grain growth was observed in the alloy containing less B and hot extruded at temperatures above 1350 °C. Electron microprobe studies revealed a non-uniform distribution of W and Nb in the extruded alloy, presumably due to the initiation of phase transformations involving the redistribution of these alloying elements in the α and γ phases during cooling from the extrusion temperatures. Tensile properties at room and elevated temperatures are sensitive to microstructure and boron addition. The post-extrusion heat treatment at 1315 °C moderately lowers the yield strength but substantially increases the tensile ductility of CTI-8. Grain size is the key parameter in controlling the room-temperature ductility of TiAl alloys with and without Cr additions. Boron does not affect the yield strength but lowers the ductility of CTI-8 containing >0.10% B. In comparison, hot-extruded CTI-8 is substantially stronger and much more ductile than other advanced TiAl alloys with lamellar and duplex structures.

The relative ranking of the FeAl-cermets to erosion was from the most erosion resistant: FeAl–WC>FeAl–TiB2>FeAl–TiC to the least erosion resistant. Erosion resistance was related to both cermet microstructure and material removal mechanisms. Even though the WC–Co contained a higher volume fraction of the hard phase, the erosion rates of the FeAl-cermets were roughly of the same magnitude to those of the WC–Co, particularly at the highest test temperature. The erosion rates of the FeAl-cermets were constant (FeAl–TiB2) or decreased (FeAl–WC, FeAl–TiC) with increasing test temperature; whereas, the erosion rates of the WC–Co increased with increasing test temperature. This behavior was related to the oxidation resistance Co binder as the test temperature was increased. Subsequent impact by the erodent particles easily removed the oxidized material, leading to an increase of about 300% in erosion rate of WC–Co at 700 °C compared to room temperature. The FeAl binder in the FeAl-cermets did not oxidize nearly as much at the elevated temperatures, hence, the erosion rates of these cermets stayed constant or decreased. The results of this study indicate, that once the microstructure (e.g. volume fraction, particle size, particle size distribution, etc., of the hard phase) of the FeAl-cermets is optimized for erosion resistance these materials might make promising candidates for elevated temperature application where erosion is an operative wear mechanisms.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 329-331 M3 - Article SP - 610 SN - 09215093 AB - Laves intermetallics (AB2 compounds) play an important role in the disposal of metallic waste resulting from the electrometallurgical treatment of spent nuclear fuel. These ZrFe2-type intermetallics incorporate and immobilize highly radioactive and long-lived constituents that are present in waste forms based on the stainless steel–zirconium (SS–Zr) alloys. This paper reviews the metallurgy of SS–Zr alloys with emphasis on Laves intermetallic behavior. Microscopy and diffraction studies have shown that all actinide elements and most fission product elements are present only in the ZrFe2-type intermetallics of a stainless steel–15 wt.% zirconium (SS–15Zr) waste form, whereas only molybdenum is incorporated in the ZrFe2-type intermetallics of a zirconium–8 wt.% stainless steel (Zr–8SS) alloy. Because of the importance of material durability to waste disposal, recent experiments have been aimed at determining the corrosion behavior of these intermetallics. Results from transmission electron microscopy of corrosion layers observed on the ZrFe2-type compounds are presented.

Since the interfacial (Shockley partial) dislocations are energetically unfavorable to undergo cross-slip or climb, under normal conditions, they can only move conservatively along interfaces. Consequently, the pileup configuration once generated cannot be easily dissipated and thus remains in place even at elevated temperatures. The dislocation pileup eventually leads to the emission of deformation twins from the interfaces into γ lamellae when a local stress concentration due to the dislocation pileup becomes sufficiently large. Deformation twinning of {111}〈112〉 and {112}〈111〉 types (both generate Σ3 twin boundaries) has been observed. Both types of twinning can be rationalized by dislocation mechanisms involving the core dissociation of interfacial dislocations: 1/6[121](111)→1/6[011](100)+1/6[112]111 and 1/6[121](111)→1/2[010](001)+1/6[111](112), and the emission of 1/6〈112〉 and 1/6〈111〉 twinning dislocations into γ lamellae to form the (111)[112]- and (112)[111]-type twins, respectively. The critical shear stress for the {111}〈112〉-type twinning is evaluated using the Peach–Koehler formula based upon the pileup configuration of interfacial dislocations.

Directional solidification was found to soften the alloy, which could be related to the development of equilibrium and aligned microstructures. It was observed that the tensile properties of the Cr–Ta alloys at room and elevated temperatures could be improved by obtaining aligned microstructures. The directionally-solidified alloy also showed increased fracture toughness at room temperature. This trend is mainly associated with crack deflection and the formation of shear ribs in the samples with aligned microstructures. The sample with better-aligned lamellae exhibits greater fracture toughness.

During tensile tests, large fracture strains (>40%) ensue when tests are conducted in oxygen. In contrast, in air, elongations are <10%, whereas in vacuum typical elongations are ∼20–30%. Cathodic hydrogen charging has little effect on the ductility of crystals tested in air. Interestingly, intermittent straining in air produced more ductility than continuous straining. Tests performed in air on Fe–40Al showed lower yield strengths than tests performed in vacuum, and in interrupted tests in which straining was performed alternately in either air and vacuum, higher flow stresses were observed under vacuum than in air.

Previous experience on iron aluminides has shown them to be weldable by several processes, but it is known that fusion processes invariably lead to a loss of the Y2O3 oxide dispersion which is an essential feature of ODS alloys. Therefore, solid state processes offer a potential advantage, and in this work continuous drive rotary friction welding has been investigated as a method to join the Fe3Al ODS alloy in both the recrystallized and unrecrystallized condition. Trials were also undertaken to join both recrystallised and unrecrystallized material to Haynes 230 alloy. All welds were made in 15-mm diameter material, using a conventional continuous drive rotary friction welding machine. Welds were evaluated initially using tensile tests, and detailed metallographic observations of the grain size, and the nature of the solid state interface between the materials. It was found possible to make high quality welds containing no flaws for a variety of welding conditions. The microstructural condition of the Fe3Al ODS alloy had no apparent influence on weldability, and no difficulty was encountered in making the dissimilar metal joints. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the microstructures obtained, and are compared with other studies on joining iron aluminides and ODS alloys.

Physical indicators allow a detailed analysis of intra-sectoral trends, in contrast to the often used monetary indicators. We assess the contribution of different factors affecting CO2 emissions in the cement industry, including change in product mix, efficiency of power generation, changes in fuel mix and changes in energy efficiency. The decomposition results show that in all examined countries, increased production was the main contributor to the increase in total CO2 emissions. Energy-efficiency improvement is the most important factor that led to the reduction of emission intensities for all countries except Korea. For Korea, structural change in the product mix is the most important factor contributing to the emission intensity reduction.

This retention of females within social groups (i.e. the nonrandom dispersion of female relatives in space) should affect population genetic structure. We examined the relationship between genetic relatedness and female spatial organization in a wild population of the North-American raccoon, Procyon lotor , a solitary carnivore in east Tennessee. Multilocus genetic band-sharing data and 3½ years of radiotelemetry observations were used to study the spatial and genetic relationships among 38 adult females. DNA amplification employing primers of arbitrary sequence (random amplified polymorphic DNA; RAPD) indicated that female philopatry in raccoons led to a greater likelihood of neighbours being more related than expected by chance. Genetic distance based on RAPD band frequency was positively correlated with spatial distance among females (P = 0.0001) and genetic similarity was positively correlated with the extent of home-range overlap (P = 0.0028). Philopatry seemed biased towards females; average female–female similarities were greater than average male–male similarities (P = 0.0001), or average male–female similarities (P = 0.0001). High home-range overlap among some females with low or moderate levels of band sharing indicated that maternal inheritance of space was not a prerequisite for establishing or sharing home ranges. Female philopatry was the most probable explanation for the nonrandom spatial and genetic association of raccoons in east Tennessee.

Immunotherapies that are cytolytic may be useful adjuncts to drug therapies that target HIV replication. We have generated HIV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells bearing a chimeric T-cell receptor (CD4ζ) composed of the extracellular and transmembrane domain of human CD4 (which binds HIVgp120) linked to the intracellular-ζ signaling chain of the CD3 T-cell receptor. CD4ζ-modified T cells can inhibit viral replication, kill HIV-infected cells in vitro, and survive for prolonged periods in vivo. We report the results of a phase II randomized trial of CD4ζ gene–modified versus unmodified T cells in 40 HIV-infected subjects on HAART with plasma viral loads <50 copies/ml. Serial analyses of residual blood and tissue HIV reservoirs were done for 6 months postinfusion. No significant between-group differences were noted in viral reservoirs following therapy. However, infusion of gene-modified, but not unmodified, T cells was associated with a decrease from baseline in HIV burden in two of four reservoir assays and a trend toward fewer patients with recurrent viremia. Both groups experienced a treatment-related increase in CD4+ T-cell counts.

In an outstanding last year of running, LEP delivered a substantial integrated luminosity above 206 GeV, and first hints of a Higgs boson with mass 115 GeV/c2 might have been observed. Unfortunately this search could not reach a definite conclusion. A review of the salient features of the analysis in the four-jet channel and the robustness of the exciting results found in this topology in 2000 is given.

The kinetics of accumulation of X-ray irradiation-induced absorption bands is consistent with the mechanism of trap filling with free charge carriers through the conduction band. The model includes Coulomb blocking effects on spatially correlated defects. The observed two-stage decay of absorption bands after termination of X-ray irradiation is explained by electron hole recombination between centers of two different distances and/or different potential barriers. UV-irradiation confirms the existence of charge exchange between complex spatially correlated defects.

The refractive index is given by a generalized Cauchy dispersion equation with coefficients that are moments of the uv and ir absorptions. Mean dispersion, Abbé number, and partial dispersion are combinations of these moments. The empirical relation between index and dispersion for families of glasses appears as a consequence of Beer's law applied to the uv spectra.

The technologies accepted as conventional are those well along in the process of commercialization. The dye-sensitized solar cell, developed in the 1990s, is a nonconventional solar electric technology that has attracted much attention, perhaps a result of its record cell efficiency above 10%. This paper reviews the technology, discusses new research results and approaches presented at a recent symposium of many of the world''s important dye solar cell researchers, and presents an assessment of the dye-sensitized solar cell in a comparison with current conventional solar electric technologies. It concludes the dye solar cell has potential for becoming a cost-effective means for producing electricity, capable of competing with available solar electric technologies and, eventually, with today''s conventional power technologies. But it is a relatively new technology and faces many hurdles on the path to commercialization. Because of its potential, this assessment recommends further funding for research and development (R&D) of the dye-sensitized solar cell technology on the basis of the promising technical characteristics of the technology, a strong US and worldwide research base, positive industry interest, and today''s relatively small funding allocation for its R&D.

Uncertainty results obtained with replicated random and Latin hypercube samples are compared, with the Latin hypercube samples tending to produce more stable results than the random samples. Sensitivity results obtained with the following procedures and/or measures are illustrated and compared: correlation coefficients (CCs), rank correlation coefficients (RCCs), common means (CMNs), common locations (CLs), common medians (CMDs), statistical independence (SI), standardized regression coefficients (SRCs), partial correlation coefficients (PCCs), standardized rank regression coefficients (SRRCs), partial rank correlation coefficients (PRCCs), stepwise regression analysis with raw and rank-transformed data, and examination of scatter plots. The effectiveness of a given procedure and/or measure depends on the characteristics of the individual test problems, with (1) linear measures (i.e., CCs, PCCs, SRCs) performing well on the linear test problems, (2) measures based on rank transforms (i.e., RCCs, PRCCs, SRRCs) performing well on the monotonic test problems, and (3) measures predicated on searches for nonrandom patterns (i.e., CMNs, CLs, CMDs, SI) performing well on the nonmonotonic test problems.

Both the formation of the metal–glycine complex and subsequent decomposition of the same at low temperatures under carefully controlled oxygen flow play a critical role in the formation of nanocrystalline material. The thermal history of the as-prepared gel is established by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirm the formation of layered α-NaFeO2 structure at temperature as low as 330 °C. The exothermic combustion reaction of the organic precursors, which generates high temperature, should be avoided as it results in the spontaneous growth of large crystals. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigation reveals that the particle size of LiCo0.7Ni0.3O2 heated at 400 °C is in the range of 10–15 nm. Substitution of nickel retards the crystal growth. Solid state 6Li-Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR investigation reveals that the micro-structural short range ordering of nickel ions in LiCo1−xNixO2 (0≤x≤0.3) is minimum at lower processing temperatures. 6Li-MAS NMR studies show that considerable amount of short range ordering of nickel ions is observed when the calcination temperature is raised beyond 800 °C indicating that the upper limit for processing temperature is around 750 °C. These materials were fabricated into thin electrodes using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as polymer binder and the electrochemical properties such as charge/discharge and impedance were evaluated. The electrodes cycled well with a coulombic efficiency of close to one.

In this work, we establish that for InGaP/GaAs HBTs, dielectric passivation effects can be as important as the piezoelectric effect. Non-self-aligned InGaP/GaAs HBTs with ECR SiON dielectric deposited at 25 °C exhibited greater stress and showed less current gain difference and lower base current ideality factors for these orientations than identical HBTs that were passivated with plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) SiN dielectric. Non-self-aligned HBTs with ECR SiON passivation also showed slightly better rf performance for the [0 1 1] orientation with ft of 48 GHz compared to ft of 44 GHz for the [0 1 ] orientation. These differences in dielectrics are attributed to higher dielectric-induced damage in emitter–base space-charge region for the PECVD SiN film.

This sudden interchange is due to a first-order magnetic phase transition involving the outermost Fe layer static magnetization. It is shown that this effect is a consequence of a reversal of the sense of precession of dynamic magnetization in the outermost Fe layer.

Studies to date have largely focused on silica-induced production of ROS by lung phagocytes. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that particulate silica (DQ12) can also induce elevations in intracellular ROS in a cancer-target cell type, i.e., human bronchial epithelial cells (BECs), via an indirect mechanism that involves ROS-inducing extracellular factor(s) that occur upon the interaction of silica with culture medium. The intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in BECs was assessed by flow cytometry via monitoring dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence. Culture medium containing 10% human serum was incubated with silica particles in concentrations ranging from 10 to 50 μg/ml, and following incubation for 1 h and removal of the particles, the resulting supernatants were added to BECs. Silica-treated medium induced significant increases in intracellular H2O2 after the medium had been treated with as little as 10 μg/ml of the particles. Further, the level of ROS increases in BECs in response to silica-treated medium was found to be virtually identical to that induced in cells that were directly treated with silica in suspension. Based on enzyme inhibitory studies, the mechanism for this increased generation of intracellular ROS appears to involve both mitochondrial respiration and a NAD(P)H oxidase-like system. Spectrofluorimetric experiments with the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase showed that superoxide anions (O2•−) and H2O2 are generated in silica-treated medium, but these ROS do not fully account for the induction of the intracellular ROS response. Iron, on the other hand, was found to be crucial to the process. Our collective results suggest silica-aqueous medium interactions can lead to the generation of factor(s) that induce the intracellular production of potentially DNA-damaging ROS in BECs in a manner that does not require direct particle-cell interactions.

JO - Waste Management JF - Waste Management Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 22 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 327 SN - 0956053X AB - Elemental mercury, contaminated with radionuclides, presents a waste disposal problem throughout the Department of Energy complex. In this paper we describe a new process to immobilize elemental mercury wastes, including those contaminated with radionuclides, in a form that is non-dispersible, will meet EPA leaching criteria, and has low mercury vapor pressure. In this stabilization and solidification process, elemental mercury is combined with an excess of powdered sulfur polymer cement (SPC) and sulfide additives in a mixing vessel and heated to ∼ 40 °C for several hours, until all of the mercury is converted into mercuric sulfide (HgS). Additional SPC is then added and the temperature of the mixture raised to 135 °C, resulting in a molten liquid which is poured into a mold where it cools and solidifies. The final treated waste was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and found to be a mixture of the hexagonal and orthorhombic forms of mercuric sulfide. The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure was used to assess mercury releases, which for the optimized process averaged 25.8 μg/l, with some samples being well below the new EPA Universal Treatment Standard of 25 μg/l. Longer term leach tests were also conducted, indicating that the leaching process was dominated by diffusion. Values for the effective diffusion coefficient averaged 7.6×10−18 cm2/s. Concentrations of mercury vapor from treated waste in equilibrium static headspace tests averaged 0.6 mg/m3.

Experiments supported by congener-specific analyses demonstrated that dechlorination occurs in a step-wise fashion with the meta-chlorines being more reactive than ortho-chlorines. Over the course of the laboratory experiments, complete conversion to biphenyl was observed. The process was also tested with PCBs dissolved in high (40–60%) concentrations of ethanol and isopropanol as a means of simulating solutions generated by commercial soil and solid waste extraction processes. The reaction rate was sensitive to the percentage of solvent but complete dechlorination was still indicated. Tests with soil extracts from a contaminated site demonstrated that there were no apparent interferences from asphalt and other miscellaneous debris. Short-duration tests with highly contaminated PCB solutions from a hazardous waste site demonstrated efficient dechlorination although there was a reduction in reaction rate with time.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 14-1 EP - 14-18 SN - 00431397 AB - Water level elevation measurements in wells are commonly used as a basis to delineate groundwater flow patterns (i.e., flow direction and hydraulic gradient). Barometric pressure fluctuations, however, can have a discernible impact on well water levels. These barometric effects may lead to erroneous indications of hydraulic head within the aquifer. Total hydraulic head within the aquifer, not well water level elevation, is the hydrologic parameter for determining groundwater flow direction and hydraulic gradient conditions. For low-gradient, unconfined aquifer sites exhibiting variable vadose zone characteristics (e.g., thickness, pneumatic diffusivity), barometric pressure fluctuations can cause temporal changes in lateral flow direction and flow velocity. Discrete water level measurements used to determine the average or long-term groundwater flow conditions, therefore, may provide nonrepresentative results. Calculation of the barometric response characteristics for individual wells provides the basis to account for the temporal effects of barometric pressure fluctuations from monitor well measurements, so that average, long-term groundwater flow pattern behavior can be determined.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 16-1 EP - 16-7 SN - 00431397 AB - Multiscale features of transport processes in fractured porous media make numerical modeling a difficult task, both in conceptualization and computation. Modeling the mass transfer through the fracture-matrix interface is one of the critical issues in the simulation of transport in a fractured porous medium. Because conventional dual-continuum-based numerical methods are unable to capture the transient features of the diffusion depth into the matrix (unless they assume a passive matrix medium), such methods will overestimate the transport of tracers through the fractures, especially for the cases with large fracture spacing, resulting in artificial early breakthroughs. We have developed a new method for calculating the particle transfer probability that can capture the transient features of diffusion depth into the matrix within the framework of the dual-continuum random-walk particle method by introducing a new concept of activity range of a particle within the matrix. Unlike the multiple-continuum approach, the new dual-continuum particle tracking method does not require using additional grid blocks to represent the matrix. It does not assume a passive matrix medium and can be applied to the cases where global water flow exists in both continua. The new method has been verified against analytical solutions for transport in the fracture-matrix systems with various fracture spacing. The calculations of the breakthrough curves of radionuclides from a potential repository to the water table in Yucca Mountain demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method for simulating three-dimensional, mountain-scale transport in a heterogeneous, fractured porous medium under variably saturated conditions.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/06// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 28-1 EP - 28-8 SN - 00431397 AB - Numerous single-hole and cross-hole pneumatic injection tests have been conducted in unsaturated fractured tuff at the Apache Leap Research Site (ALRS) near Superior, Arizona. Single-hole tests have yielded values of air permeability at various locations throughout the tested rock volume on a nominal scale of ∼1 m. Cross-hole tests have yielded equivalent air permeabilities (and air-filled porosities) for a rock volume characterized by a length scale of several tens of meters. Cross-hole tests have also provided high-resolution tomographic estimates of how air permeability (and air-filled porosity), defined over grid blocks having a length scale of 1 m, vary throughout a similar rock volume. The results have revealed a highly pronounced scale effect in permeability (and porosity) at the ALRS. We examine the extent to which the permeability scale effect is amenable to interpretation by a recent stochastic scaling theory, which treats the rock as a truncated random fractal.

Features due to the QDs, bi-dimensional platelets (2DP) and InAs wetting layer (WL) were identified in photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the as-grown sample. It is shown, using transmission electron microscopy, that RTA at temperature up to 700 °C (for 30 s) results in an increase of QDs lateral sizes. After RTA at 800 °C or higher temperatures, no QDs can be distinguished and substantial thickening of the WL can be seen. The main PL peak blueshifts as a result of RTA in all investigated temperature ranges, which is accompanied by a quenching of the 2DP and WL PL. It is proposed that the main PL peak, which is due to the QDs in the as-grown sample, results from optical recombination in the modified WL in the samples, after RTA at 800 °C and higher temperatures. Laterally-enhanced Ga/In interdiffusion induced by strain is proposed to explain a relatively fast dissolution of QDs.

An effective means to survey differences across whole genomes would be highly advantageous for understanding this variation. Here we show that suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) provides high, representative coverage of regions that differ between similar genomes. Using Helicobacter pylori strains 26695 and J99 as a model, SSH identified approximately 95% of the unique open reading frames in each strain, showing that the approach is effective. Furthermore, combining data from parallel SSH experiments using different restriction enzymes significantly increased coverage compared to using a single enzyme.

Field inhomogeneity and susceptibility broadening are averaged by a procedure that combines magic-angle turning with a train of z-rotation pulses. The experiment emulates the situation encountered in `ex situ'' NMR in which the sample is located away from the field sources. Given the equivalence of field and sample spinning, the results suggest that the use of a rotating magnetic field and refocusing pulses might enable the study of samples such as solids or fluids in porous materials external to the magnet.

We observe dipolar emission patterns that are characteristic of single quantum emitters whose orientation appears fixed on the measurement time scale. We also show that the luminescence from single nanoparticles is linearly polarized, also characteristic of single quantum system behavior. Taken in combination with dynamical observations of blinking and discrete photobleaching, these experiments provide strong evidence for single ion luminescence, and confirm the dipolar nature of the optical transitions of Eu3+ in inorganic crystals.

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) characterization was performed at the Advanced photon source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory to determine the Pt&z.sbnd;Cl and Pt&z.sbnd;O co-ordination chemistry of 200–2000 ppm CPA at pHs of 1.5–12 with different chloride concentrations, light conditions, and time frames. The EXFAS analysis was combined with potentiometric data to postulate the following speciation behavior of the dilute CPA. The initial hydrolysis reaction, aquo ligand exchange of chloride ions, is rapid and reversible, while the latter two reactions, hydroxide ion ligand exchange of chloride and aquo ligands, are relatively slow in acidic solutions but accelerated in the presence of light. Many of the stable Pt complexes in solution are zero valent. High chloride co-ordination is favored at low pH and high chloride concentration. As a result, the [PtCl6]2− species is present only in acidic solutions with a moderate excess of chloride ion or in the neutral solutions in a large excess of chloride ion. Hydroxide ligand formation is favored at low pH and suppressed by chloride ion concentration. As a result, full hydrolysis of CPA by hydroxide ions with precipitation of H2Pt(OH)6 (or Na2Pt(OH)6) is favored only at very low CPA concentrations (ca. 30 ppm).

We calculate averages and standard deviations of test results over the multiple realizations, and show individual results for selected cases to highlight key features of flow and transport through hierarchically fractured rock. These studies are intended to illustrate the range of possible behavior that can be obtained during fracture-dominated hydraulic and tracer tests, and provide insights into how to interpret field responses. The fractal dimension of the fracture network itself is generally larger than the fractal dimension of the flow field arising during a well test. The performance measures of the natural-gradient tracer tests, including the total flow through the fracture network, tracer travel time, front width, and maximum breakthrough concentration, can all be correlated to fractal dimension. Although some of the features observed in the flow and transport behavior within the hierarchically fractured rock have been observed by other authors using non-fractal fracture network concepts (e.g. channelized flow with early breakthrough times, crossing breakthrough curves), others arise directly from the fractal nature of the fracture network, in which variability occurs on all scales (e.g. front width and maximum breakthrough concentration that are constant over a wide range of fractal dimensions). Generally, transport simulations show large variability within a given realization and among realizations with the same fractal dimension, even in networks whose dimension is close to two. This finding is consistent with the large variability in experimental results observed at fractured rock field sites.

Ce, Pr and Sm members of the series show single magnetic transition whereas NdBi2 most likely exhibits two magnetic transitions. Significant magnetic anisotropy and a series of metamagnetic transitions in fields up to 55 kG are found in PrBi2. Ordering temperatures range from 3 K to just above 16 K and they scale well with the de Gennes factor.

The CO molecules are adsorbed close to short-bridge sites with alternating tilts along the close-packed 〈1 1 0〉 surface rows. This local geometry is consistent with that found in previous theoretical total energy calculations and an earlier X-ray photoelectron diffraction study, but is in direct contradiction to the results of an earlier quantitative low energy electron diffraction investigation. While the best-fit model structure involves some twist of the CO molecules out of the 〈1 0 0〉 mirror planes of the surface creating a surface phase of p1g1 symmetry, the more symmetric p2mg falls within the estimated limits of precision of the analysis.

Atomic oxygen without coadsorbed hydrogen forms a (2×2) structure in a continuous layer or in the form of islands. Individual oxygen atoms are also observed between the islands at low temperature. Coadsorbed hydrogen modifies the STM image contrast and enhances the diffusion of the isolated oxygen atoms. Above 120 K hydrogen modifies the structure of the oxygen islands, transforming them into rows of oxygen atom pairs at nearest neighbor distances. Above 150 K, hydrogen causes all (2×2)-O islands to convert into a (√3×√3) structure, which is stable up to 210 K. Above 210 K the (√3×√3) structure transforms back to (2×2) due to dissolution of the surface hydrogen into the bulk. During these transformations the number of oxygen atoms on the surface remains unchanged. Above 220 K the oxygen population decreases by reaction with dissolved hydrogen to form H2O which desorbs from surface.

We compare the surface chemistry of two specific surface phases formed on the basal plane of α-Fe2O3: the Fe3O4(1 1 1)-(2×2) “selvedge” and the α-Fe2O3/Fe1−xO “biphase.” For Fe3O4(1 1 1)-(2×2) an estimated saturation level of Cl of 75% of a monolayer is readily attained. Carbon uptake is well below that expected for simple stoichiometric dissociative chemisorption, consistent with desorption of organic products during the surface reaction. Low energy electron diffraction measurements suggest that, dependent upon preparation procedures, at least two types of α-Fe2O3/Fe1−xO biphase structures can be formed. Surprisingly, upon exposure to CCl4, Cl uptake does not occur on either of these biphase surfaces, despite the fact that these surfaces are thought to have the same surface concentrations of iron and oxygen as Fe3O4(1 1 1). The dramatic difference between the reactivity of the Fe3O4 and biphase surfaces suggests that the active site for the dissociative adsorption of CCl4 on Fe3O4(1 1 1)-(2×2) comprises both an iron cation and an oxygen anion with a surface-normal-oriented dangling bond that is uncapped by iron cations. Electron stimulated and thermal desorption of Cl from the saturated Fe3O4(1 1 1)-(2×2) selvedge is also reported.

The degree of decomposition is increased and the onset temperature for decomposition is reduced when Rh is supported on reduced ceria (Rh/CeOx) compared to Rh on oxidized ceria (Rh/CeO2). When the initial NO coverage was reduced to 35% of saturation the dissociation activity was enhanced on both Rh/CeO2 and Rh/CeOx. However, at any given temperature and coverage, the dissociation activity was greater on Rh/CeOx. O vacancies on the reduced CeOx were poisoned by exposure to H2O at 300 K to produce a hydroxylated surface. The NO dissociation activity for Rh on the hydroxylated CeOx was the same as that on the open surface. These results demonstrate that O spillover and coverage effects are insufficient to explain the enhanced activity of Rh on reduced CeOx.

The 120 GeV primary proton beam with intensity of 4×1013 protons per 1.9 s from the Main Injector will be used to produce pions in a graphite target. Two 200 kA pulsed horns will be used to magnetically focus the resulting pion beam down a drift space where pions will decay to muon-neutrinos. The MINOS experiment will use the neutrino beam together with two detectors, one located on the Fermilab site and the other 735 km away in the Soudan mine in Minnesota, to study neutrino oscillation phenomena. Several neutrino beam optics configurations and target designs have been studied with the goal of producing a facility with high efficiency while retaining flexibility.

Due to their small and sometimes invisible activity at the scattering point, they represent a potential background source for all emulsion experiments hunting for decay topologies of short-lived particles like the lepton and charm mesons.For an extensive study of such hadronic kink signatures a dedicated experimental set-up has been built and exposed at the CERN PS hadron beam facility and it has collected about 300 000 pions with a fixed momentum ranging from 2 to 5 GeV/c. Each particle was tracked by silicon strip detectors to connect it to the proper track in the nuclear emulsion located in between. Threshold Cherenkov detectors for electron discrimination, a muon counter and an MWPC-based magnetic spectrometer completed the experimental configuration. A total of 222 white and 271 grey kinks could be successfully located in the emulsion target. Their angular and transverse momentum distributions were extensively studied.

Unfortunately, the point reactor model fails to accurately predict detector response in common applications. For this reason, the general Monte Carlo code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), was modified to simulate the pulse streams that would be generated by a neutron detector and normally analyzed by a shift register. This modified code, MCNP-Random Exponentially Distributed Neutron Source (MCNP–REN), along with the Time Analysis Program, predicts neutron detector response without using the point reactor model, making it unnecessary for the user to decide whether or not the assumptions of the point model are met for their application. MCNP–REN is capable of simulating standard neutron coincidence counting as well as neutron multiplicity counting. Measurements of mixed oxide fresh fuel were taken with the Underwater Coincidence Counter, and measurements of highly enriched uranium reactor fuel were taken with the active neutron interrogation Research Reactor Fuel Counter and compared to calculation. Simulations completed for other detector design applications are described. The method used in MCNP–REN is demonstrated to be fundamentally sound and shown to eliminate the need to use the point model for detector performance predictions.

This necessitates careful design of both detector and readout electronics. As part of a new instrument for protein crystallography at LANSCE, we are constructing a detector whose concept was described previously (IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. NS-46 (1999) 1916). Here, we describe the signal processing circuit, which is well suited for 3He detectors with a continuous interpolating readout. The circuit is based on standard charge preamplification, transmission of this signal over 20 meters or so, followed by sample and hold using a second order gated baseline restorer. This latter unit provides high rate capability without requiring pole-zero and tail cancellation circuits. There is also provision for gain-adjustment. The circuits are produced in surface mounted technology.

The ASIC was designed for readout of active matrix flat-panel imager (AMFPI) arrays. Such arrays, which presently can be made as large as 41 cm×41 cm and with pixel-to-pixel pitches down to ∼70 μm, require large numbers of low noise, high density, custom integrated readout circuits. The design of this new chip is specifically tailored for research and development of active matrix flat-panel arrays for various medical imaging applications. The design architecture includes the following features: (1) Programmable signal gain which allows acquisition of a wide range of signal sizes from various array designs so as to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio; (2) Correlated double sampling (CDS) which significantly reduces certain noise components; (3) Pipelined readout (simultaneously sampling and multiplexing signals) which reduces image acquisition time; (4) Programmable bandwidth controls which balance noise and acquisition speed; and (5) Two selectable modes of output multiplexing (64:1, 16:1) for slow or fast readout. In this paper, detailed measurements of various performance parameters are presented. These measurements include noise characteristics, the relationship between bandwidth and noise, signal response linearity, channel-to-channel and pipeline cross-talk, signal gain and gain variation across channels, and the effect of sampling methods on noise. These characterizations indicate that the performance of the ASIC has achieved the original design goals.

The DSTA method is a means of determining the mass of nuclear material within a large, diffuse, volume using passive neutron counting. The DSTA method is a more efficient approach than traditional methods of holdup measurement and inventory verification. The time spent in performing DSTA measurement and analysis is a fraction of that required by traditional techniques. The error ascribed to a DSTA survey result is generally less than that from traditional methods. Also, the negative bias ascribed to γ-ray methods is greatly diminished because the DSTA method uses neutrons which are more penetrating than γ-rays.

Explicit erosion scaling criteria are developed for the first time to the authors'' knowledge using this model. Erosion guidelines are presented based upon fairly reliable semi-empirical laboratory and field data correlations and, remarkably, found to predict erosion rates on the same order of magnitude, in agreement with the SCFMED erosion model. A simplified erosion guideline procedure is developed using detailed computations for a cold few-tube approximation of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Grimethorpe tube bank “C1” configuration. The results from the simplified erosion guidelines procedure are compared with the full closed form MED erosion model and found to agree with available erosion data for aluminum tubes taking into account the scatter in erosion data and erodent hardness. An erosion scaling procedure is tested using detailed numerical computations for a cold and scaled hot few-tube approximation for the same (IEA) Grimethorpe tube bank “C1” configuration.

These thermomechanical treatments on fcc metals and alloys with low to medium stacking fault energies result in microstructures with high fractions of Σ3n and other special boundaries, as defined by the coincidence site lattice (CSL) model. More importantly, the interconnected networks of random boundaries are significantly modified as a consequence of the processing. The modifications in the grain boundary network have been correlated with post-mortem electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations of the deformed and annealed states of the material. The evolution of the microstructure to a high fraction of Σ3n boundaries is correlated with the decomposition or dissociation of immobile boundaries during annealing. This is evidenced by TEM observations of the decomposition of relatively immobile boundaries into two components, one with very low energy and thus immobile, and the other a highly mobile boundary that migrates into neighboring areas of higher strain levels. The formation of low-energy grain boundaries through this mechanism and its effect on boundary network topology is discussed within the context of grain boundary engineering and linked to known microstructural evolution mechanisms.

Glassiness is predicted to occur above a critical volume fraction of surfactant molecules, which is determined by the length of the amphiphilic molecules. Our results are obtained by solving the dynamical equations for the correlation functions of the system and by using a replica approach.

This quantity represents cosmogenic 21Ne produced on the Fish Canyon Tuff surface prior to the deposition of the overlying Carpenter Ridge Tuff. Ancient 21Ne was isolated through the analysis and identification of (1) background 21Ne produced from α-particle interactions or inherited; and (2) cosmogenic 21Ne produced from modern radiation. Multiple samples of Fish Canyon Tuff shielded during both exposure periods, 28 Ma ago and in modern time, yielded the background that was then subtracted from all samples. Likewise, samples of Fish Canyon exposed today, but well below the Fish Canyon–Carpenter Ridge contact and therefore shielded 28 Ma ago, yielded a modern component that was also removed from all sample concentrations. The presence of an ancient cosmogenic isotope in a buried surface has several potential applications, including the quantification of paleoelevation, paleolatitude, and pre-Quaternary erosion rates.

There are a number of ways in which this new paradigm is driving much of the current biological research toward statistical physics. This is happening at a molecular level due to the very large nature of biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. It is also occurring at the cellular level where random processes play an important role in cell function. There are even examples that describe the behavior of large numbers of individual organisms within one or more species. Finally, this trend has been accelerated with the advent of high-throughput experimental techniques that are driving biology towards information science. Analysis and discovery of the information gained from such experiments will rely heavily on techniques that have traditionally been applied in statistical physics. This paper will focus on examples of how statistical physics techniques are being applied and hope to be applied to biological problems, with an emphasis on high-performance computing. We will also speculate on what we feel are the necessary computing requirements to solve many of the outstanding problems in computational biology using the techniques that will be discussed.

We show here that immediately following γ-irradiation, latent p53 formed a complex with the catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKCS). The complex formation was DNase sensitive, suggesting that the proteins came together on the DNA, conceivably at strand breaks. This association was accompanied by phosphorylation of pre-existing, latent p53 at Ser18 (corresponding to Ser15 in human p53), which was not found in DNA-PKCS-/- cells. Most significantly, DNA damage-induced apoptosis was abolished in both DNA-PKCS-/- and p53-/- cells. In addition, blocking synthesis of inducible p53 by cycloheximide did not abrogate apoptosis, suggesting that the latent population of p53 is sufficient for executing the apoptotic program. Finally, E1A-expressing MEFs from a p53 'knock-in' mouse where Ser18 was mutated to an alanine had an attenuated apoptotic response, indicating that phosphorylation of this site by DNA-PK is a contributing factor for apoptosis.

The organo-silica domains were introduced into the polymer matrix via sol–gel reactions. The gas transport properties of these hybrid membranes were dependent on the type of alkoxide employed and the final morphology of the hybrid composite. Systems with low degree of cross-linking between the inorganic and polymer components exhibited membrane performance below the upper bound. However, simultaneous improvements in selectivity and permeability were observed in hybrid materials with favorable interactions between inorganic and polymer domains as documented by changes in viscoelastic properties. These improved interactions most likely led to the formation of an interphase consisting of constrained polymer segments partially incorporated into the silicate structure.

We propose that in these samples bands due to the various combinations of oxygen vacancies will increase with increasing Si dose with related O related defects changing at a much smaller rates. In the absorption spectra of samples implanted with O, bands associated with oxygen related defects increase with increasing does, while those due to various forms of O vacancies will change at much smaller rates. Si ions were implanted using implant energies ranging from 35 to 320 keV. O ions were implanted using energies ranging from 35 to 250 keV. The doses at each energy were varied to maintain an approximately constant implanted-species concentration. The implanted layer has an approximately constant concentration for the Si ions that starts 40 nm below the surface and extends to 640 nm, while for the O implanted samples the constant concentration region starts at 80 nm from the surface and extend to 640 nm. The Si concentration in the implanted region ranges from 0.025 to 0.5 at.% (atomic percent) while the O concentration ranged from 0.035 to 0.7 at.%. The optical absorption was measured from 2.8 to 6.5 eV. We fit the observed spectra for the as implanted samples to the minimum number of bands attributed to intrinsic states in SiO2 required to fit the data within ±2%. The intensities of these absorption bands were a function of dose and ion species. Bands at 5.01, 5.8 and 6.75 eV increased with increasing Si dose and changed at much smaller rates with increasing O dose, confirming that these bands are related to oxygen vacancies. The band at 4.8 eV increased with increasing O dose confirming that it is due to oxygen related defects, which we attribute to an oxygen molecular ion or peroxy radical.

Two thermal upwellings can be distinguished within the field, each apparently emanating from fault structures in the Mesozoic basement greywackes. Although both plumes have similar salinities and appear to be fully equilibrated with the reservoir rocks containing them, fluids associated with the eastern upflow zone are enriched in B and F compared to those in the western upflow zone. δ2H and δ18O signatures for water suggest that up to 20% of the water in the discharges may derive from a magmatic source, and a δ2H–Cl trend established by the East-Bank fluids indicate end-member mixing between a high-Cl fluid and Cl-deficient steam containing as much as 40% arc-type vapour. Gas signatures in fluids from the two production fields show compositional differences that cannot be explained by physical reservoir processes. The eastern fluids have higher N2/Ar and CO2/He ratios, and consistently higher CH4–CO213C fractionation temperatures than those in the western upflow zone. In addition, stark differences in 3He/4He and 40Ar/36Ar ratios for the two production fields suggest two-component mixing for the respective source components, with the eastern fluids having a significantly larger radiogenic gas content than those to the west. Collectively, these signatures suggest the presence of a relatively young and shallowly seated degassing intrusive beneath the eastern upflow zone, perhaps as shallow as 4 km beneath the surface.

Twenty METH-dependent subjects (abstinent for 8±2 months) and 20 age- and gender-matched controls were evaluated with perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) and neuropsychological tests. METH users showed decreased relative rCBF bilaterally in putamen/insular cortices (right: −12%; left: −10%) and the right lateral parietal brain region (−11%), but increased relative rCBF bilaterally in the left temporoparietal white matter (+13%), the left occipital brain region: (+10%) and the right posterior parietal region (+24%). Interaction effects were observed between METH and gender in the right occipital cortex and a midline brain region; female METH users showed increased relative rCBF (+15% both regions) whereas the male METH users had decreased relative rCBF (−10% and −18%, respectively). METH users performed within normal ranges on standard neuropsychological tests; however, they were slower on several tasks on the California Computerized Assessment Package (CalCAP), especially tasks that required working memory. These findings suggest that METH abuse is associated with persistent physiologic changes in the brain, and these changes are accompanied by slower reaction times on computerized measures of cognitive function.

T1 - Catalytic cracking of n-hexane over MoO2 JO - Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemistry JF - Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemistry Y1 - 2002/06/17/ VL - 184 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 197 SN - 13811169 AB - Catalytic cracking reactions of n-hexane over molybdenum oxide (MoO2) grown on a polycrystalline molybdenum foil (∼1 cm2) were studied in the temperature range 830–913 K at a low conversion (<2%). The n-hexane pressure was 7.3 Torr. The reactions were carried out in a batch reactor and no hydrogen or water vapor (steam) was used. The cracking products of n-hexane were mostly alkenes—ethylene (29 mol%), propylene (35 mol%), butenes (19 mol%) and pentenes (5 mol%)—along with small amounts of alkanes—methane (7 mol%), ethane (4 mol%) and propane (1 mol%). The apparent activation energy for the catalytic cracking of n-hexane was ∼60 kcal/mol. The reaction rates were not deactivated over more than 5 h of use. Dehydrogenation and aromatization were also observed, but these reactions rates decreased as the gas inside the batch reactor reached an equilibrium. Auger and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies suggested an oxycarbide form as the catalytically active phase.

Compared with diamond and cubic BN, AlMgB14 is an equilibrium material with excellent electrical conductivity, high chemical stability, and lower density. The projected cost of manufacture of the boride is 10% of the cost of diamond and cubic BN. AlMgB14 materials appear to be congruently melting/evaporating, which would allow them to be processed with techniques such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD). In this work, the feasibility of PLD for synthesizing thin films of baseline AlMgB14 (0% additive) is demonstrated and compared with TiB2. A 248-nm, 23-ns KrF excimer laser was used to prepare baseline boride thin films on cemented carbide (ANSI C-5 and C-2) tool inserts. The films were dark blue, continuous and fairly uniform with few particulates. An impact fracture test showed that adhesion of the films to the substrate was excellent. The deposition rate was 0.08 nm per pulse at an energy density of 7 J/cm2. Nanoindentation hardness tests revealed that the films exhibited hardness 60% higher than the carbide substrate. Lathe turning tests with cold-drawn 1045 steel bars indicated that C-5 tools coated with 0.5 μm baseline AlMgB14 have an average flank wear reduction of 12% compared to uncoated C-5 tools. Further machining tests on C-2 tools showed that the tools coated with baseline boride have much better flank (23% reduction) and nose wear resistance (26% reduction) compared with TiB2 coated tools. In addition, multilayer composite coating of AlMgB14 and TiB2 outperformed single layer boride coating in minimizing the tool wear. This pioneering work sets the stage and serves as a catalyst for rapid and innovative advances in the development of new boride materials for numerous tool and hard coating applications, including bulk cutting tools, hard and erosion-resistant coatings, wear-resistant electrical switch contacts, and conductive thin films for MEMS.

JO - FEBS Letters JF - FEBS Letters Y1 - 2002/06/19/ VL - 521 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 24 SN - 00145793 AB - A calmodulin (CaM)-like protein (hCLP) is expressed in human mammary epithelial cells but appears to be limited to certain epithelial cells such as those found in skin, prostate, breast and cervical tissues. A decrease in the expression of this protein is associated with the occurrence of tumors in breast epithelium. The structure of hCLP determined to 1.5 A˚ resolution by X-ray crystallography shows a distinct 30° displacement along the interconnecting central helix, when compared to the highly conserved structure of vertebrate CaM, resulting in a difference in the relative orientation of its two globular domains. Additionally, the electric surface potential landscape at the target protein binding regions on the two globular domains of hCLP is significantly different from those of CaM, indicating that the respective ranges of hCLP and hCaM target proteins do not fully overlap. Observations that hCLP can competitively inhibit CaM activation of target proteins also imply a role for hCLP in which it may also serve as a modulator of CaM activity in the epithelial cells where hCLP is expressed.

In this report, we investigated the hypothesis that a radioadaptive bystander effect may be induced in unirradiated cells by a transmissible factor(s) present in the supernatants of cells exposed to low dose γ-rays. Normal human lung fibroblasts (HFL-1) were irradiated with a 1 cGy dose of γ-rays and their supernatants were transferred to unirradiated HFL-1 as a bystander cell model. Compared with the directly irradiated cells, such treatment resulted in increased clonogenic survival following subsequent γ-irradiation with 2 and 4 Gy. This radioadaptive bystander effect was found to be preceded by early decreases in cellular levels of TP53 protein, increase in intracellular ROS, and increase in the redox and DNA repair protein AP-endonuclease (APE). The demonstration that radioadaptation can occur in unirradiated cells via a fluid-phase, transferable factor(s) adds to the complexity of the current understanding of mechanisms by which radioadaptive responses can be induced by low dose, low-LET IR.

However, it has recently been shown that the data can be explained with only three neutrinos, if one invokes CPT violation to allow different masses and mixing angles for neutrinos and antineutrinos. We explore the nature of neutrinos in such CPT-violating scenarios. Majorana neutrino masses are allowed, but in general, there are no longer Majorana neutrinos in the conventional sense. However, CPT-violating models still have interesting consequences for neutrinoless double beta decay. Compared to the usual case, while the larger mass scale (from LSND) may appear, a greater degree of suppression can also occur.

In this Letter we introduce the T trajectory diagram. In these diagrams the probability for a given oscillation process is plotted versus the probability for the CP- or the T-conjugate processes, which forms an ellipse as the CP- or T-violating phase is varied. Since the CP- and the T-conjugate processes are related by CPT symmetry, even in the presence of matter, these two trajectory diagrams are closely related with each other and form a unified description of neutrino oscillations in matter.

This microluminometer improves on previous devices through careful management of the sub-femtoampere currents, both signal and leakage, that flow in the front-end processing circuitry. In particular, the photodiode is operated with a reverse bias of only a few mV, requiring special attention to the reset circuitry of the current-to-frequency converter (CFC) that forms the front-end circuit. We report a sub-femtoampere leakage current and a minimum detectable signal (MDS) of 0.15 fA (1510 s integration time) using a room temperature 1.47 mm2 CMOS photodiode. This microluminometer can detect luminescence from as few as 5000 fully induced Pseudomonas fluorescens 5RL bacterial cells.

Shifts of the CO binding site with increasing coverage are observed. At coverages of 1/3 ML and below, CO occupies threefold hollow sites. Near 1/2 ML, regions of c(4×2)-CO with both fcc and hcp threefold hollow site occupation coexist with bridge bonded c(4×2)-CO. Above 1/2 ML, a progression of ordered phases with complex unit cells is observed. Near 3/4 ML, bright maxima appear with (2×2) periodicity. Simulated images based on the density functional theory optimized geometry indicate that these highly corrugated maxima are due to CO molecules bound to top sites, which obscure the other two CO molecules per unit cell. In addition to the symmetric 2×2 structure, previously unreported domains of lower symmetry 2×2 are observed.

Surface EXAFS data collected by Auger electron yield from the S saturated surface give average bond lengths for S–Al and S–Pd of 2.10±0.06 and 2.40±0.06 A˚ respectively. The data indicate that single-site adsorption on the unreconstructed surface may be ruled out; this is consistent with near-edge EXAFS data and the disappearance of the LEED pattern upon adsorption of sub-monolayer amounts of S. The implication of this finding is that adsorbate-induced reconstruction and/or multiple-site adsorption occurs in this system.

Mo nanoparticles were prepared on Au(1 1 1) by dissociation of Mo(CO)6 molecules at 500 K. These Mo nanoparticles were found inactive towards oxygen according to results of synchrotron-based high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). There was no sign of molybdenum oxide formation after an exposure to 150 L of oxygen at 300–850 K. However, these Mo nanoparticles can be oxidized by reaction with NO2 at 500 K to form molybdenum oxides, MoO2 or MoO3. The stability of the MoO3 particles upon annealing was further investigated by PES. The fully oxidized MoO3 clusters do not react with ethylene.

Based on a simple but generic model, we show that the microscopic origin for this puzzling anomaly can be attributed to the effects of surface defects. Specifically, surface diffusion parallel to steps can have apparent anomalous prefactors, even though the actual atomic hopping either on the terraces or along the steps is executed only with normal attempt frequencies. We also provides a quantitative interpretation of the recently observed prefactor enhancement for CO diffusion on Pt(1 1 1).

In this work, we studied the pore size and interconnectivity between pores for porous MSQ films templated with various types of triblock copolymers (pore generator) using positrons by measuring ortho-positronium (o-Ps) 3γ emission, Doppler broadening of annihilation photons (DBAP), and o-Ps lifetimes. Results show that the depth profiles of the pore structure depend on the molecular mass of pore generators. DBAP measurements show an interfacial layer between the porous films and the Si substrate, which is believed to be the native oxide on the Si wafer surface. Our results suggest the counter intuitive interpretation that porous MSQ films templated by triblock copolymers with larger molecular-mass have smaller and more closed pores, while those with smaller molecular mass and lower ethylene oxide fractions tend to contain larger and more-interconnected pores.

This comparison suggests that T3 has evolved from a recombinant between a T7-like coliphage and a yersiniophage. To assess this, recombination between T7 and the Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 phage φYeO3-12 was accomplished in vivo; coliphage progeny from this cross were selected that had many biological properties of T3. This represents the first experimentally observed recombination between lytic phages whose normal hosts are different bacterial genera.

The use of lead tungstate, however, is limited by its low light output. An effort has been made at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics to improve this. The results indicate that a factor of ten increase of the light output, mainly in the microsecond decay component, may be achieved. The photo luminescence spectrum, light output and decay kinetics of new samples are presented. Longitudinal uniformity of a sample of 22 radiation lengths is studied. Possible applications for calorimetry in high energy and nuclear physics experiments are discussed.

At 12 K the luminosity of powder samples is 0.30, 1.6, 0.40, 2.0, and 0.15, respectively, relative to that of BGO powder at room temperature. Increasing the temperature of CuI to 346 K decreases the luminosity by a factor of 300 while decreasing the fwhm of the decay time spectra from 0.20 to 0.11 ns. Increasing the temperature of HgI2 to 102 K decreases the luminosity by a factor of 53 while decreasing the fwhm from 1.6 to 0.5 ns. Increasing the temperature of PbI2 to 165 K decreases the luminosity by a factor of 27 while decreasing the fwhm from 0.52 to 0.15 ns. Increasing the temperature of ZnO:Ga to 365 K decreases the luminosity by a factor of 33 while decreasing the fwhm from 0.41 to 0.21 ns. Increasing the temperature of CdS:In to 295 K decreases the luminosity by a factor of 30 while decreasing the fwhm from 0.20 to 0.17 ns. All emission wavelengths are near the band edge. The luminosities decrease much faster than the radiative lifetimes, therefore, the reduction in luminosity is not primarily due to thermal quenching of the excited states, but mostly due to thermally activated trapping of charge carriers on nonradiative recombination centers. Since the radiative and nonradiative processes occur on different centers, increasing the ratio of radiative to nonradiative centers could result in a class of inorganic scintillators whose decay time and radiative efficiency would approach fundamental limits (i.e. <1 ns and 100 000 photons/MeV).

For most types of ionizing excitation, the luminescence of these materials is dominated by an emission band whose maximum intensity occurs at ∼192 nm. The origin of this band is the fast 5d–4f transitions of the Nd3+ ions. An additional emission contribution due to host-defect emission varies for different samples. These defects appear to be responsible for the limited light yield of LuPO4:Nd.

All X-ray or neutron diffraction measurements of crystals containing one or more of the elements Tl, Hg, Pb or Bi and with a Bravais lattice being either cubic-, orthorhombic-, tetragonal-primitive or hexagonal were extracted from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. A Full-Potential Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital implementation with an LDA exchange-correlation energy functional was used for solving the electronic structure. The data was analyzed for density, photoelectric fraction at 511 keV, direct/indirect band gap, LDA band gap energy, energy dispersion, bandwidths, degree of covalency, etc. Preliminary results are presented for a number of representative materials.

The CCT has previously been used to characterize several scintillators and has proven to be an accurate and reliable technique. The measured GSO electron response was observed to increase by 28% as the electron energy increased from 5 to 445 keV. The measured BaF2 electron response increased 23% as the electron energy increased from 18 to 436 keV. Both electron responses become linear at higher electron energies (above about 200 keV). These observations made with GSO and BaF2 in this study are consistent with the general trend reported for previous CCT characterized non-alkali halide scintillators. To validate the GSO and BaF2 measured electron responses, respective photon responses were calculated and subsequently compared to measured photon response data. MCNP4C together with simplified electron cascade sequences for GSO and BaF2 were used in these photon responses calculations. Calculated photon responses for both crystals are in good agreement (within 10%) with measured photon responses. This agreement confirms the accuracy of the GSO and BaF2 measured electron responses.

The new equations provide a theoretical foundation for a large fraction of phenomenological mix models. They contain all the physical terms, particularly the terms associated with the Reynolds stress due to both species interpenetrations and random chaotic motions. Under certain assumptions, the new model equations successfully reduce to the other mix models.

This has proved problematic, in that synthesis conditions which tend to reduce dielectric loss also tend to reduce zero-bias permittivity and electric-field tunability of the permittivity, thereby necessitating undesired compromises in overall performance for some applications. In order to address this problem of simultaneous optimization, we fabricated BST thin films with very low dielectric loss, Ti-rich BST layers ((Ba+Sr)/Ti=0.73) at the electrode/BST interfaces, in series with a primary, high tunability, high permittivity BST layer ((Ba+Sr)/Ti=0.9) in the center of this layered BST structure. Planar capacitors fabricated from the BST films exhibit low dielectric loss (tan δ=0.005) simultaneously with high (76%) tunability at room temperature and high breakdown fields (∼4 MV/cm), compared with capacitors with a single BST layer ((Ba+Sr/Ti=0.9). Post annealing of the layered BST films at 800 °C further improved dielectric loss down to 0.003, while keeping the high tunability and high breakdown field of the as-deposited films.

Many beneficial mutations—mostly those of small effect—are lost due either to (1) genetic drift or to (2) competition among clones carrying different beneficial mutations, a phenomenon called the “Hill-Robertson effect” for sexual populations and “clonal interference” for asexual populations . Competition among clones becomes more prevalent with increasing genetic linkage and increasing population size, and it is thus generally characteristic of microbial populations . Together, these two phenomena suggest that only those beneficial mutations of large fitness effect should achieve fixation, despite the fact that most beneficial mutations produced are predicted to have very small fitness effects . Here, we confirm this prediction—both empirically and theoretically—by showing that fitness effects of fixed beneficial mutations follow a distribution whose mode is positive.

In most cases the replacement of the QCISD(T) energy by one of these alternative energies results in a slight improvement in the accuracy of these methods as assessed on the G3/99 test set of molecules.

We investigate the prospects for studying this mode in Run II and estimate that CDF would be sensitive to this decay for a branching ratio >1.2×10−8 with 15 fb−1 (or, if a similar analysis holds for D0, >6.5×10−9 for the combined data). We calculate the branching ratio in minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) parameter space, and find that tanβ>30 can be probed. (This mSUGRA parameter space cannot be probed by direct production of SUSY particles at Run II.) Including other experimental constraints on the mSUGRA parameter space, one finds that CDF Bs→μ+μ− measurements would be able to cover the full mSUGRA parameter space for tanβ=50 if the muon gμ−2 anomaly exceeds ∼11×10−10, and about half the allowed parameter space for tanβ=40. A large branching ratio >7(14)×10−8 (feasible with only 2 fb−1) would be sufficient to exclude the mSUGRA model for tanβ⩽50(55). Dark matter neutralino–proton detection cross sections are examined in the allowed region, and should be large enough to be accessible to future planned experiments. Combined measurements of Bs→μ+μ−, the Higgs mass mh and the muon gμ−2 anomaly would be sufficient to determine the μ>0 mSUGRA parameters (or show the model is inconsistent with the data). We also briefly discuss the Bs→μ+μ− decay in R-parity violating models. There, for some models, the branching ratio can be large enough to be detected even for small tanβ and large m1/2.

The influence of copper type shear bands on recrystallization behaviour during post-deformation annealing in Al-1Mg is now discussed. Local orientation measurements and orientation images of grains nucleating at shear bands have been made using the electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. Bulk recrystallization texture is investigated from X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Shear bands are shown to be potent nucleation sites during annealing and a weak, almost random, texture associated with nucleation at shear bands has been inferred. Most significantly, shear band formation is found to have a pronounced moderating influence on the strength of the potentially dominant cube component of the recrystallization texture.

In the present work, arrays of secondary grain boundary dislocations (SGBDs) and their behavior at junctions between orthogonal Σ=3{111} and Σ=3{112} grain boundaries in Au thin films have been studied using room temperature and in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Through diffraction contrast experiments, we find that these dislocations have Burgers vectors of the type a/6112. In situ TEM experiments conducted at elevated temperature show that the arrays of SGBDs on {111} twin planes originate in the {112} boundaries where they accommodate a small rotational misorientation from the exact coincident-site-lattice (CSL) orientation. We propose that the discontinuous distribution of SGBDs in the {112} boundary produces a climb stress that drives the dislocation motion. As the dislocations in the grain boundary increase their separation, the climb stress and the misorientation between grains is reduced. To test the plausibility of this explanation, we consider the balance between the reduction in energy due to motion in response to the climb stress and the increase in energy due to the lengthening of dislocation line on the {111} twin plane.

In this paper, a Krylov finite element method, the Arnoldi reduction method (ARM), for solving these type problems has been introduced. The Arnoldi reduction technique uses orthogonal matrix transformations to reduce each of the aforementioned coupled systems to much smaller size. In order to speed convergence of the Arnoldi process, an eigenvalue shift in each finite element system is introduced. This approach greatly improves the diagonal dominant properties of the matrices to be solved. This property leads to great enhancement of the iterative solution and the convergence rate for Arnoldi reduction process. In addition, the use of the eigenvalue shift technique greatly relaxes the grid Peclet restrictions. Courant number criteria restrictions are also effectively removed. We utilize an ORTHOMIN procedure to carry out the equation system reductions for discrete fractured media. The proposed numerical method has been verified by comparison against analytical solutions. The developed model is highly efficient in computing time and storage space. Simulations of radioactive decay chain and trichloroethylene transport are made and compared to the Laplace transform Galerkin (LTG) method where appropriate. Examples with about one million unknowns are solved on personal computers and shown that the ARM is even more efficient than the LTG method, by allowing for similar speed increases with multi-components. Therefore, the Arnoldi approach will allow for a variety of complex, high-resolution problems to be solved on small computer platforms.

This paper introduces a new approach for studying complex flow processes in heterogeneous fractured media, using the methods of nonlinear dynamics and chaos––in particular reconstructing the system dynamics and calculating chaotic diagnostic parameters from time-series data. To demonstrate the application of chaotic analysis, this author analyzed the time-series pressure fluctuations from two water–air flow experiments conducted by Persoff and Pruess [Water Resour. Res. 31 (1995) 1175] in replicas of rough-walled rock fractures under controlled boundary conditions. This analysis showed that chaotic flow in fractures creates relaxational oscillations of liquid, gas, and capillary pressures. These pressure oscillations were used to calculate the diagnostic parameters of deterministic chaos, including correlation time, global embedding dimension, local embedding dimension, Lyapunov dimension, Lyapunov exponents, and correlation dimension. The results of the Persoff–Pruess experiments were then compared with the chaotic analysis of laboratory dripping-water experiments in fracture models and field-infiltration experiments in fractured basalt. This comparison allowed us to conjecture that intrinsic fracture flow and dripping, as well as extrinsic water dripping (from a fracture) subjected to a capillary-barrier effect, are deterministic-chaotic processes with a certain random component. The unsaturated fractured rock is a dynamic system that exhibits chaotic behavior because the flow processes are nonlinear, dissipative, and sensitive to initial conditions, with chaotic fluctuations generated by intrinsic properties of the system, not random external factors. Identifying a system as deterministically chaotic is important for developing appropriate short- and long-term prediction models, evaluating prediction uncertainty, assessing the spatial distribution of flow characteristics from time-series data, and improving chemical-transport simulations.

SN - 01757598 AB - A strain of Aspergillus niger isolated from a metal-contaminated soil was able to grow in the presence of cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, and unusually high levels of nickel on solid (8.0 mM) and in liquid (6.5 mM) media. This fungus removed >98% of the nickel from liquid medium after 100 h of growth but did not remove the other metals, as determined by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. Experiments with non-growing, live fungal biomass showed that nickel removal was not due to biosorption alone, as little nickel was bound to the biomass at the pH values tested. Furthermore, when the protonophore carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoremetoxy) phenyl hydrazone (FCCP) was added to the actively growing fungus nickel removal was inhibited, supporting the hypothesis that energy metabolism is essential for metal removal. Analytical electron microscopy of thin-sectioned fungal biomass revealed that metal removed from the broth was localized in the form of small rectangular crystals associated with the cell walls and also inside the cell. X-ray and electron diffraction analysis showed that these crystals were nickel oxalate dihydrate.

The threshold concentration of EG at which a reflectance change could be detected was between 35 and 40 mM (P≤0.01), approximately, the same as by visual observation. EG-induced changes in frond reflectance were maximal at concentrations of 50 mM or greater. Reflectance changes were detectable within 24 h of exposure to 100 mM EG, 2–3 days prior to changes in frond appearance. Thus, spectroradiometry of duckweed may serve as a rapid and sensitive technique for detection of ecosystem exposure to EG and perhaps other stress agents.

Geobacter sulfurreducens is one of a family of microorganisms that oxidize organic compounds, with Fe(III) oxide as the terminal electron acceptor. A triheme 9.6 kDa cytochrome c7 from G. sulfurreducens is a part of the metal ion reduction pathway. We cloned the gene for cytochrome c7 and expressed it in Escherichia coli together with the cytochrome c maturation gene cluster, ccmABCDEFGH, on a separate plasmid. We designed two constructs, with and without an N-terminal His-tag. The untagged version provided a good yield (up to 6 mg/l of aerobic culture) of the fully matured protein, with all three hemes attached, while the N-terminal His-tag appeared to be detrimental for proper heme incorporation. The recombinant protein (untagged) is properly folded, it has the same molecular weight and displays the same absorption spectra, both in reduced and in oxidized forms, as the protein isolated from G. sulfurreducens and it is capable of reducing metal ions in vitro. The shape parameters for the recombinant cytochrome c7 determined by small angle X-ray scattering are in good agreement with the ones calculated from a homologous cytochrome c7 of known structure.

In glass lacking in nucleation agents, ns was a strong function of temperature. In glasses with noble metals (Rh, Ru, Pd, and Pt), ns increased by up to four orders of magnitude and was nearly independent of temperature. The kinetics of spinel crystallization in crushed glass lacking nucleation agents was dominated by surface crystallization and was described by the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami (KJMA) equation with the Avrami exponent n≅0.5. For application to HLW glass melter processing, it was necessary to preheat glass at T>TL to eliminate the impact of temperature history and surface crystallization on crystal nucleation and growth. In the temperature range of glass processing, crystals descend under gravity when they reach a critical size. Below this critical size, crystallization kinetics is described by the KJMA equation and above the critical size by the Hixson–Crowell equation. At low temperatures, at which glass viscosity is high and diffusion is slow, the KJMA equation represents crystal growth from nucleation to equilibrium. As ns increases, the temperature interval of the transition from the KJMA to Hixson–Crowell regime shifts to a higher temperature.

Even under such conditions, computing the effective mass transfer coefficient requires solving an eigenvalue problem, which couples the local microstructure with the global. Two examples, one involving a simple advection–dissolution problem and another a drying problem in a pore network, illustrate the theoretical predictions. Similar considerations apply for the case of finite kinetics, when the macroscale concentration approaches an equilibrium value. In that case, the effective kinetic parameter is not equal to the local, as typically assumed, but it becomes a function of the local Thiele modulus.

The combination of these methodologies brings together the advantages of each: LES provides a high degree of accuracy with a minimum of empiricism for turbulence modelling, and FEM provides a robust way to simulate flow in very complex domains. It is shown that the LES filtering operator and filter width can be independently chosen with FEM just as with spectral methods because, even though FEM is grid based, it is also a method that provides an unambiguous solution everywhere by employing global basis functions. The assumption that the LES filtering operator commutes with differentiation is shown to be valid with the FEM approach. It is also shown that the error introduced by non-uniform filtering is small so long as the filter width changes smoothly. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We have joined, for example, submicrometer 3 mol% Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) and YSZ-toughened Al2O3. The interlayers in these cases consisted of dense, submicrometer-grain-sized pieces of ceramics that have been shown to exhibit superplastic flow. We have extended the joining work to include incorporation of 15 vol.% SiC or 20 vol.% TiC whiskers within the bond layer. Unlike YSZ/Al2O3, because of the presence of the whiskers, YSZ/Al2O3/SiC and YSZ/Al2O3/TiC do not deform superplastically. However, virtually perfect YSZ/Al2O3 joints with and without whiskers could be made by compressing at 1300–1350 °C and stresses of <20 MPa.

Agreement within 5% was predicted for composites with simple unidirectional or cross-ply architectures with fiber volume fractions of 0.5 or less and with fiber-to-matrix conductivity ratios less than 10. For a woven 2D-SiCf/SiC composite, inhomogeneous fiber packing and numerous direct fiber–fiber contacts would introduce deviations from model predictions. However, the analytic model should be very appropriate to examine the degradation in Keff in 2D-woven composites due to neutron irradiation or due to other mechanical or environmental treatments. To test this possibility, expected effects of irradiation on Keff were predicted by the H–J model for a hypothetical 2D-SiCf/SiC composite made with a high conductivity fiber and a CVI-SiC matrix. Before irradiation, predicted Keff for this composite would range from 34 down to 26 W/(m K) at 200 and 1000 °C, respectively. After irradiation to saturation doses at 200 or 1000 °C, the respective Keff-values are predicted to decrease to 6 or 10 W/(m–K).

These discrete operators satisfy discrete analogs of the integral identities of the differential operators on unstructured grids where vector functions are defined at the grid points, and tensor functions are defined as tangential projections to the zone edges, or as normal projections to the median mesh. We evaluate the accuracy of the discrete operators by determining the order of convergence of the truncation error on structured and unstructured grids, and show that the truncation error of the method is between first and second order depending on the smoothness of the grid. In a test problem on a highly nonuniform grid, we confirm that the convergence rate is between first and second order.

Nitrogen ion implantation was performed at room temperature to a depth of 300 nm at a volumetric concentration of 6×1017 cm−3 for the channel region and 2×1019 cm−3 for the source/drain. The implants were activated by annealing at 1450 °C for 15 min using an AlN encapsulant. The bulk mobility of the channel implant was found to be 240 cm2/V s, while the effective channel mobility of the devices was measured to be less than 58 cm2/V s. For a typical device with a 2-μm gate length, the pinch-off voltage was 18 V, and the drain saturation current was approximately 40 mA. Devices exhibited only a small change in their DC characteristics over the temperature range 25–350 °C.

Functions of the distinct correlations were determined quantitatively. The results show the significantly strong rhombohedral-polar correlations regarding Pb-O, Mg/Nb-O, and O-O′ pairs. Their spatial distribution at 300K forms an ellipse or a sphere with the diameters of 30-80A, and the sizes are reduced to 30-40A on cooling through local condensation of thermal lattice fluctuations. This direct observation of local structure in the system proves presence of the polar microregions in the paraelectric state which leads to the dielectric dispersion.

Streambed light regimes change dramatically when riparian trees gain leaves in spring and lose them in autumn. This study examined the effect of these changes on periphyton photosynthetic characteristics, primary production, and light utilisation efficiency in two eastern Tennessee streams. 2. Photosynthesis–irradiance responses were measured at intervals covering leaf emergence and abscission in spring and autumn. Photosynthetic efficiency (αchl ) increased with declining streambed irradiances during spring leaf emergence, but returned to pre-emergence values after autumn leaf fall. The onset of photosaturation (I k ) displayed the opposite pattern, decreasing during leaf emergence and increasing after leaf fall. Both αchl and I k were closely associated (P < 0.01) with daily integrated streambed irradiance, as were periphyton carotenoids. Internal shading by photoprotective carotenoids is hypothesised to account for lower αchl when streambed irradiances are high. 3. An in situ shading experiment confirmed that the temporal changes observed in periphyton photosynthetic characteristics and carotenoids were primarily the result of changing light levels and not other environmental factors (e.g. nutrients, temperature). 4. Daily chlorophyll-specific primary production (PP chl ) was calculated with P –I models and recorded streambed irradiances. In both streams, PP chl was the highest in early spring when trees were leafless, and then declined markedly as leaves emerged, reaching a minimum in summer. PP chl increased after leaf abscission, but was still lower than it was in early spring, when the sun was higher and daylength was longer. A hyperbolic tangent equation fit to PP chl and daily integrated irradiance (r 2 =0. 85) suggested that primary production was light saturated at 4–8 mol m–2...

This thin edge-plasma region begins a short distance inside of the so-called separatrix, which divides the core domain of confined magnetic field lines from the scrape-off layer domain of open fields lines that pass through material surfaces; edge transport simulations give a unified description of the plasma throughout this region. In addition to the plasma fuel components escaping from the core (i.e. deuterium and tritium ions and their neutralizing electrons), models are included for neutral gas and impurities evolved from surfaces or injected. The confining magnetic field, B, is generally large enough to provide substantial enhancement of confinement normal to B compared to along B, resulting in steep cross-field gradients of plasma parameters. Three distinct types of edge-plasmas are illustrated, depending on the plasma collisionality, which are named as follows: sheath-limited, high-recycling, and detached plasmas. Examples of each type are given, together with the corresponding plasma conditions produced at the material surface boundaries. Detailed results are presented for the edge-plasmas of the ARIES-AT and FIRE tokamak designs. The edge-plasma characteristics calculated here provide the plasma profiles needed for other codes which perform detailed modeling of plasma sheath formation, surface modification via sputtering/redeposition, and recycled neutral-particle transport as detailed by other papers in this issue.

The deposited plasma energy during major disruptions, edge-localized modes (ELMs), and vertical displacement events (VDEs) causes significant surface erosion, possible structural failure, and frequent plasma contamination. Surface damage consists of vaporization, spallation, and liquid splatter of metallic materials. Structural damage includes large temperature increases and high thermal stresses in structural materials and at the interfaces between surface coatings and structural members. To evaluate the lifetimes of plasma-facing materials and nearby components and to predict the various forms of damage that they experience, comprehensive models (contained in the heights computer simulation package) are developed, integrated self-consistently, and enhanced. Splashing mechanisms such as bubble boiling and various liquid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and brittle destruction mechanisms of nonmelting materials can be serious erosion mechanisms and are being studied in detail. The ejected macroscopic particles (MPs) will interact with incoming plasma particles and with the vapor cloud above the surface. Therefore, the dynamic behavior of MPs in the vapor cloud and their influence on total erosion rate is important. Results of self-consistent MHD calculations are presented in which the dynamics of both the vapor cloud and MP interaction are coupled with incoming plasma ions and electrons from the scrape-off layer during a disruption. The design requirements and implications of plasma facing and nearby components are discussed, along with recommendations to mitigate and reduce the effects of plasma instabilities on reactor components.

There are also brief summaries of developments in helium-cooled PFCs and applications of free liquid surfaces. Water-cooled PFCs with C armor have been developed for Tore Supra, ITER, LHD and W7-X. W or Be armor is of interest for ITER and other devices. W-coatings on graphite have been tried, and mockups with “W brush” armor, developed in the USA for ITER and emulated elsewhere, have withstood thermal cycling at 25 MW/m2. Reliably joining of the armor has been a significant challenge.

We have modified the emissions framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Phase II guidelines developed by the IPCC and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for national emissions inventories, and have linked it to operate with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory''s Agriculture and Land Use (AgLU) model. The paper shows that, in the context of moderate climate change, improvements in fertilizer application efficiency and animal management makes it possible to reduce total agricultural N emissions in 2080 to about 1995 levels, which is about 20% below the projected baseline value.

We explore how to quantify the effects of a software tool once it has been deployed in a development environment. We present an effort-analysis method that derives tool usage statistics and developer actions from a project's change history (version control system) and uses a novel effort estimation algorithm to quantify the effort savings attributable to tool usage. We apply this method to assess the impact of a software tool called VE, a version-sensitive editor used in Bell Labs. VE aids software developers in coping with the rampant use of certain preprocessor directives (similar to #if/#endif in C source files). Our analysis found that developers were approximately 40 percent more productive when using VE than when using standard text editors.

Atomic force microscopy based nanoindentation showed that storing teeth in deionized water or CaCl2-solution resulted in a large decrease in elastic modulus and hardness. At 1 day a decrease in the mechanical properties values of up to 20% and 30% was observed for enamel and dentin, respectively. After 1 week, mechanical properties dropped below 50% of their starting values, which is attributed to a demineralization process during storage. In contrast, storing teeth in HBSS did not significantly alter the mechanical properties for a time interval of 2 weeks. The use of HBSS for storage of samples from teeth is recommended.

Water content, soil organic matter (SOM), and metal oxides (MOs) were found to be the factors most influential in the fate and transport of gaseous ozone in unsaturated porous media. The migration velocity of the gaseous ozone front was inversely proportional to the MO content of the porous media. Increased water content at fixed gas flux decreased the ozone breakthrough time proportionally as a result of reduced gas pore volume (PV) in the column, and increased pore water interfered with reactions of gaseous ozone with SOM and MOs on the surface of porous media. The feasibility of in-situ ozone injection for the remediation of unsaturated soils contaminated with either phenanthrene or diesel-range organics (DROs) was investigated under various conditions. The maximum removal after 1 h of ozone injection was achieved in columns packed with baked sand, followed, in descending order, by glass beads and by sand, indicating that catalytic ozone decomposition with MOs in columns packed with baked sand enhanced hydroxyl radical formation and resulted in increased contaminant removal. Overall removal efficiency of multicomponent C10–C24 DROs after 14 h of ozonation was 78.7%. Ozone transport was retarded considerably because of the high ozone demand of DROs, requiring more than 6 h for the gaseous ozone to initially break through the soil column under the experimental conditions tested in this study. Overall, gaseous ozone was readily delivered and transported to remediate unsaturated soils contaminated with phenanthrene and DROs.

Limited data exist on the use of induction followed by combination therapy.Methods: In this prospective study of 28 patients infected with genotype 1, randomization involved either daily or twice daily high dose IFN for 6 weeks, followed by standard therapy of 3 million units three times a week in combination with ribavirin for an additional 42 weeks. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was quantitated before and frequently during treatment.Results: The best correlate of response was δ (the infected cell loss rate). Sixteen patients continued on the study because they had at least a 2 log drop in their HCV RNA levels by week 12; all but one were PCR negative for HCV RNA at 48 weeks, and 14 of these 16 patients continued to be PCR negative at 72 weeks. Both African-Americans in our trial failed to respond to therapy, and differences were evident during the induction phase.Conclusions: This randomized study of induction IFN therapy followed by combination IFN plus ribavirin yielded the highest rate of sustained response (50%) reported to date in chronically HCV-infected patients with genotype 1. The predictive value of the infected cell loss rate needs to be evaluated prospectively in larger studies, particularly in patients receiving pegylated IFN.

This dye is believed to be selective for the plasma and inner membranes of the mitochondria. Importantly, the dispersive (distributed) growth kinetics of zero-phonon holes were found to be significantly different with the OV167 line exhibiting the higher burn efficiency. This may reflect greater structural heterogeneity of that line. Equally interesting is that the permanent dipole moment change (Δμ) for the S0→S1 transition of the dye is markedly different for the two cell lines, the Δμ value for the carcinoma cell line being a factor of 1.5 higher. Discussion of this finding in terms of membrane potentials is given.

One is B800→B850 excitation energy transfer that occurs in ∼2 ps in low-temperature limit. This channel is dominant for excitation wavelengths located to lower energy of the B800 absorption band maximum. The second “additional” channel sets in for excitation on the high-energy side of the maximum. The mechanism for the additional channel has been controversial. That it is due to relaxation of Bacteriochlorophyll a (Bchl a) vibrational modes has already been excluded. This left intra-band B800→B800 energy transfer and relaxation of mixed B800–B850 exciton levels as possible mechanisms. High-pressure hole burning results for LH2 of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila are presented, which, together with excitonic calculations, indicate that the latter mechanism is relatively unimportant. Intra-band B800→B800 excitation energy transfer is considered from a probabilistic viewpoint. It appears that the B800 zero-phonon hole action spectrum corresponds to those of Bchl a sites on the C9 ring that cannot undergo downward energy transfer to a nearest-neighbor site. One-third of the sites fall into this category. It is concluded that the additional decay channel is most likely due to above intra-band transfer.

The simulations accurately reproduce the 825 nm absorption band and indicate an upper limit for the inter-subunit coupling of 10 cm−1. From the simulations, rates for downward energy transfer between subunits can be determined using the spectral density determined from hole burning (J. Phys. Chem. B 104 (2000) 9564). On average the splitting between adjacent energy levels is ∼25 cm−1 and the energy transfer rate for relaxation between such levels is equal. Relaxation from the top to lowest level is significantly slower. This is in contrast with the experimental finding that relaxation from the top to bottom levels occurs at about twice the rate for the other two relaxations. Further, the rates determined do not agree with the observed variation of zero-phonon hole width and photon echo dephasing times with frequency. The possible involvement of Herzberg–Teller-like dark modes with a peak near 50 cm−1 is discussed.

The result of the Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder diffraction shows that the samples are single rhombohedral (R3¯C) structure phase for x<0.2. For x⩾0.2, the samples are composed of a R3¯C perovskite phase and a nonmagnetic metal Ag phase. The temperature dependence of resistivity shows that all samples undergo a sharp insulator–metal (I–M) transition accompanying a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition with the decrease of temperature. However, for x<0.2, an obvious double I–M transition with a single ferromagnetic transition is observed. In the meanwhile, a large magnetoresistance (MR) with low applied magnetic field is observed. The electronic and magnetic inhomogeneity induced by Ag doping and the nonmagnetic metal Ag phase are presented to account for the transport properties and large MR in these compounds.

The anomalies revealed by the magnetic contribution to the specific heat are associated with the onset of long-range order. The transition entropies imply that the magnetic ordering originates from a ground-state doublet (J=1/2) for the Co2+ systems and a ground-state triplet (J=1) for the Ni2+ system. In addition, we extract and compare the exchange couplings J using several theoretical models: interacting spin waves, high-temperature series expansions, total magnetic energy and mean field. The J-values and the Ising-like anisotropy obtained here, are in quantitative agreement with earlier magnetization and neutron diffraction results.

These superlattices have novel magnetic properties as observed by magnetization and polarized neutron reflectivity measurements. There is a significant enhancement of the magnetic moments of both Fe and Co at the interfaces. Furthermore, the easy axis of the system changes from [1 0 0] for films of low cobalt content to [1 1 0] for a Co content exceeding 33%. No indication of a uniaxial anisotropy component is found in any of the samples. The first anisotropy constant (K1) of BCC Co is found to be negative with an estimated magnitude of 110 kJ/m3 at 10 K. In all cases, the magnetic moments of Fe and Co have parallel alignment.

The Al excess in homophase SiC grain boundary films was determined, taking into account dissolved Al in the SiC lattice. In the spot-EDS analysis, an electron beam probe with a calibrated diameter was formed, and the total beam–specimen interaction volume was defined, taking the beam spreading through crystalline TEM foil into consideration. EDS spectra were collected from regions containing intergranular films and adjacent matrix grains, respectively. A theoretical treatment was presented and experimental errors were estimated, with a further discussion about the effects of foil thickness. Experimental examples are given, followed by statistical EDS analyses for grain boundary films in SiC samples hot-pressed with increased amounts of Al additions. The results demonstrated a substantial Al segregation in the nanometer-wide intergranular films in all samples. Al additions higher than 3 wt% saturated the Al concentrations in SiC grains and in grain boundary films. The effect of foil thickness, and the parameters for determining the optimum incident beam diameter in the EDS analysis are discussed.

Measurement of the polarization as a function of temperature indicates the existence of polarized microregions at temperatures well above the phase transition (PT) temperature. In the vicinity of the PT those microregions respond cooperatively and contribute to the observed macroscopic polarization. This cooperative behavior was also evident from dielectric relaxation measurements. Two relaxation processes were observed, one at high frequency and the other at low frequency. In both processes the relaxation time and the relaxation step (Δϵ) were found to increase as the PT temperature was approached. Those processes originate from movement of off-center ions in a multi-well potential. In the vicinity of the PT the correlation length of the host lattice is increased and the movements of the off-center ions become more and more correlated. The increased number of cooperatively relaxing ions increases the relaxation time and the relaxation amplitude.

The specimens were obtained from spent target components of the LANSCE facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. In this and other spallation sources high concentrations of helium are generated concurrent with the displacement damage. In the specimens irradiated with around 3×1025 p/m2 (8.4 dpa), first visible bubbles appeared at 700 °C in Alloy 718 and at 800 °C in 304L stainless steel, respectively. Two temperature regions with different coarsening mechanisms could be identified and interpreted as bubble migration and coalescence at lower temperatures and Ostwald ripening at higher temperatures. From the measured bubble densities and size distributions, He concentrations were determined and compared to values obtained by release and nuclear reaction measurements, respectively.

The titanate ceramics studied are of the type proposed to serve as a matrix for the immobilization of surplus fissile materials. The samples studied contain approximately 10 wt% fissile plutonium and 20 wt% natural uranium, and are representative of material within the planned production envelope. Based upon natural analogue models, it had been previously assumed that both uranium and plutonium would occupy the calcium site in the pyrochlore crystal structure. While the XANES and EXAFS signals from the plutonium LIII are consistent with this substitution into the calcium site within pyrochlore, the uranium XANES is characteristic of pentavalent uranium. Furthermore, the EXAFS signal from the uranium has a distinct oxygen coordination shell at 2.07 A˚ and a total oxygen coordination of about 6, which is inconsistent with the calcium site. These combined EXAFS and XANES results provide the first evidence of substantial pentavalent uranium in an octahedral site in pyrochlore. This may also explain the copious nucleation of rutile (TiO2) precipitates commonly observed in these materials as uranium displaces titanium from the octahedral sites.

Nanoindentation was conducted in 12 different directions in three principal planes for both osteonic and interstitial lamellae. The experimental indentation modulus was found to vary with indentation direction and showed obvious anisotropy (one-way analysis of variance test, P<0.0001). Because experimental indentation modulus in a specific direction is determined by all of the elastic constants of cortical bone, a complex theoretical model is required to analyze the experimental results. A recently developed analysis of indentation for the properties of anisotropic materials was used to quantitatively predict indentation modulus by using the stiffness matrix of human tibial cortical bone, which was obtained from previous ultrasound studies. After allowing for the effects of specimen preparation (dehydrated specimens in nanoindentation tests vs. moist specimens in ultrasound tests) and the structural properties of bone (different microcomponents with different mechanical properties), there were no statistically significant differences between the corrected experimental indentation modulus (Mexp) values and corresponding predicted indentation modulus (Mpre) values (two-tailed unpaired t-test, P>0.5). The variation of Mpre values was found to exhibit the same trends as the corrected Mexp data. These results show that the effects of anisotropy on nanoindentation measurements can be quantitatively evaluated.

T1 - X-ray absorption microtomography (microCT) and small beam diffraction mapping of sea urchin teeth JO - Journal of Structural Biology JF - Journal of Structural Biology Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 139 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 10478477 AB - Two noninvasive X-ray techniques, laboratory X-ray absorption microtomography (microCT) and X-ray diffraction mapping, were used to study teeth of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus. MicroCT revealed low attenuation regions at near the tooth’s stone part and along the carinar process—central prism boundary; this latter observation appears to be novel. The expected variation of Mg fraction x in the mineral phase (calcite, Ca1−x MgxCO3) cannot account for all of the linear attenuation coefficient decrease in the two zones: this suggested that soft tissue is localized there. Transmission diffraction mapping (synchrotron X-radiation, 80.8 keV, 0.1×0.1 mm2 beam area, 0.1 mm translation grid, image plate area detector) simultaneously probed variations in 3-D and showed that the crystal elements of the “T”-shaped tooth were very highly aligned. Diffraction patterns from the keel (adaxial web) and from the abaxial flange (containing primary plates and the stone part) differed markedly. The flange contained two populations of identically oriented crystal elements with lattice parameters corresponding to x=0.13 and x=0.32. The keel produced one set of diffraction spots corresponding to the lower x. The compositions were more or less equivalent to those determined by others for camarodont teeth, and the high Mg phase is expected to be disks of secondary mineral epitaxially related to the underlying primary mineral element. Lattice parameter gradients were not noted in the keel or flange. Taken together, the microCT and diffraction results indicated that there was a band of relatively high protein content, of up to ∼0.25 volume fraction, in the central part of the flange and paralleling its adaxial and abaxial faces. X-ray microCT and microdiffraction data used in conjunction with protein distribution data will be crucial for understanding the properties of various biocomposites and their mechanical functions.

T1 - Oxygen isotope disequilibrium between quartz and sanidine from the Bandelier Tuff, New Mexico, consistent with a short residence time of phenocrysts in rhyolitic magma JO - Journal of Volcanology & Geothermal Research JF - Journal of Volcanology & Geothermal Research Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 116 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 119 SN - 03770273 AB - Oxygen isotope analyses are reported from co-existing quartz and feldspar from the Bandelier Tuff and Cerro Toledo high-silica rhyolitic pyroclastic deposits erupted from the Valles caldera, New Mexico. Quartz shows little variation outside analytical error, but δ18O in feldspar varies over >1‰. In most samples, 18O/16O fractionation between quartz and feldspar is significantly less than is predicted for equilibrium at temperatures appropriate for rhyolitic magma. In the Tshirege (upper) Member of the Bandelier Tuff, isotopic fractionation between mineral pairs is close to equilibrium in the later erupted ignimbrite, but non-equilibrium in the initial Plinian deposit. These relationships are interpreted in terms of a model where most phenocrysts are derived from a highly porphyritic carapace around the magma chamber that was disrupted by eruption, thus scattering crystals throughout the magma. Carapace quartz and feldspar are initially isotopically lighter than the bulk aphyric magma, due to chemical communication with low-δ18O country rock in the meteoric/hydrothermal system surrounding the chamber. We assume that quartz and feldspar were initially in isotopic equilibrium. Diffusive re-equilibration of crystals begins when the carapace disintegrates and the minerals are immersed in the bulk magma just prior to and during eruption. Feldspar is isotopically lighter than quartz at equilibrium, but responds more rapidly than quartz to an external change, due to a higher diffusion coefficient for oxygen. Hence, immersion in the isotopically heavier bulk magma causes feldspar and quartz δ18O values to initially converge over ∼102 years, and then diverge over 103–104 years as first feldspar, and then quartz, re-equilibrate with the new magma. Higher δ18O variability of feldspar than quartz indicates that the shorter timescale applies to the Bandelier and Cerro Toledo rhyolites. Two important implications of this interpretation are (1) that the Bandelier magmas developed in an aphyric condition, and their porphyritic character is an artifact of eruption; and (2) that a protective, mechanically rigid cognate carapace around a silicic magma chamber may limit interaction with low-δ18O hydrothermally altered crust, thus hindering the development of significant volumes of low-δ18O silicic magma.

This multimode Procrustes problem is a complex constrained minimization problem which involves the simultaneous least-squares fitting of several matrices. We propose two solutions of the problem: the projected gradient approach which leads to solving ordinary differential equations on matrix manifolds, and differential-geometric approach for optimization on products of matrix manifolds. A numerical example concerning the three-mode Procrustes illustrates the developed algorithms.

The rotations of brittle phase inclusions/particles can facilitate particle cracking (and, therefore, void nucleation) by bringing the inclusions/particles in favorable orientations with respect to the applied/induced tensile load, thereby increasing the void nucleation rate. In this contribution, we present detailed quantitative microstructural data on the rotations of Fe-rich inclusions in a 5086 (O) Al-alloy as a function of strain and stress states. These results are compared with our earlier data on particle rotations in 6061 (T6) Al-alloy, and the differences are explained on the basis of differences in the microstructure and constitutive behavior of the two alloys.

We develop and analyze a set of models that include intracellular delays, combination antiretroviral therapy, and the dynamics of both infected and uninfected T cells. We show that when the drug efficacy is less than perfect the estimated value of the loss rate of productively infected T cells, δ, is increased when data is fit with delay models compared to the values estimated with a non-delay model. We provide a mathematical justification for this increased value of δ. We also provide some general results on the stability of non-linear delay differential equation infection models.

These include lead paint abatement sites, smelting operations, small arms firing ranges, and other construction scenarios. New emerging technologies provide the capability to provide an on-site alternative to conventional laboratory methods for airborne lead. In this paper we describe the evaluation of two such technologies using laboratory prepared lead-laden super-micron aerosol particles. Size measurements by TSI Aerodynamic Particle Sizer™ indicated the fluctuation of the peak particle sizes varying less than 1% among different runs for a given solution concentration. The content of lead embedded in the particles varied from 14 to 18% between runs of three different lead solution concentrations. A commercially available instrument for airborne lead measurement, AeroLead™, showed promise of becoming fully validated with the addition of design enhancements, although not fully validated by the end of the research program. Some of these areas being reworked by the manufacturer include working electrode issues, such as a more uniform surface area. Once these have been addressed, the manufacturer plans to complete the field and laboratory validation procedures. In a subsequent study, the ABF-LIPS results shown in this paper indicated that the technology could be used to quantify lead in aerosol form with a signal-to-noise ratio of three or larger of approximately 100 μg m−3 or higher quantity in a few minutes of measurement interval. The estimated detection limit for Pb using the ABF-LIPS prototype was approximately 60 μg m−3. In comparison the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) limit for Pb emission is 250 μg m−3.

However, the highly crosslinked epoxy remaining after development is difficult to remove reliably from high aspect ratio structures without damage or alteration to the electroplated metal. A review of physical and chemical removal options is discussed with data on the most promising options shown. Several standard solvent mixtures have proven particularly useful in our laboratory. The solvent systems remove the resist through crazing and peeling rather than dissolution. They are inexpensive, and can be utilized on very low aspect ratio features, or on parts with no included SU-8. Alternatively, a very promising option for reliable removal is downstream chemical etching (DCE; Matrix Integrated Systems, Richmond, CA) which achieved removal rates of approximately 7–10 μm/min at 225 °C for several hundred micron thick molds. At higher temperatures, an inexpensive molten salt bath has shown to be reliable. The K10 (Kolene Corp., Detroit, MI) process salt bath operated at 350 °C is efficient at completely oxidizing the highly crosslinked epoxy. Sputter Auger depth profiling of Ni parts after removal by DCE and molten salt bath indicated only superficial elemental damage to the metal, though deposits of antimony from the photocatalyst are left after DCE. Initial mechanical properties of electroplated Ni tensile specimens subsequent to the salt bath and DCE processing are presented.

The use of UV radiation, however, is potentially limited by aerial image degradation as the image propagates through the thick photoresist layer. In addition to diffraction, run-out from uncollimated light or absorption in the resist easily dominate the aerial image problems for thick films. Alternatively, thick film lithography may be limited by the ability of present photoresists to print the aerial image. With some formulations, calculated line-and-space theoretical limits can be printed for 150-μm thick films. Typical aspect ratios for films greater than 200-μm thick exceed 20:1 with good process linearity and sidewall profiles and extension to 700-μm thick films is shown. We show that present commercial formulations of photoresists and not aerial image are likely the limiting factor in the practical resolution of final features from proximity UV printing. In particular, the redeposition of partially dissolved resist during drying after development leads to feature degradation. Released electrodeposited metal parts are also produced and demonstrated.

The Lycopersicon esculentum (2n=24) assay is a very good plant bioassay for assessing chromosome damage both in mitosis and meiosis and for somatic mutations induced by chemicals and radiations. The Lycopersicon bioassay has been shown to be as sensitive and as specific an assay as other plant genotoxicity assays, such as Hordeum vulgare, Vicia faba, Crepis capillaris, Pisum sativum and Allium cepa and should be considered in further studies in assessing clastogenicity. Tests using L. esculentum can be made for a spectrum of mutant phenotypes of which many are identifiable in young seedlings.

This type of information could be of great use to toxicologists in understanding the mechanism of action of many toxic agents. The prospect of using a sophisticated physical technique such as XANES may be somewhat intimidating for those without a strong physical background. Here, we explain the concepts necessary to understand XANES spectroscopy at a level that can be easily understood by biological scientists without a strong physics background and describe useful sample preparation and data analysis techniques which can be adapted for a variety of applications. Examples are taken from an ongoing study of manganese in brain mitochondria and neuron-like cells.

The increase in microbunching was detected by tracking the growth of the visible CTR signals as generated from insertable metal mirrors/foils after each of the last three undulators. The same optical imaging diagnostics that were used to track the z-dependent intensity of the undulator radiation (UR) were also used to track the electron beam/CTR information. Angular distribution, beam size, and intensity data were obtained after each of the last three undulators in the five-undulator series, and spectral information was obtained after the last undulator. The exponential growth rate of the CTR was found to be very similar to that of the UR and consistent with simulations using the code GENESIS.

Two methods for purification and formulation of the tracer were developed. The first one yielded [11C]toluene dissolved in dimethylacetamide/saline solution, for the second one we adapted supercritical fluid technology where the tracer was purified using and conventional C18 HPLC column and pure supercritical CO2 fluid as a mobile phase operating at 2000 psi. Formulation of the tracer in cyclodextrin resulted in a significantly higher integrated uptake and distribution volume values. Additionally, we observed higher uptake and slower clearance of 11C-toluene in white matter, consistent with higher lipid content and neurotoxicological evidence indicating restricted and diffuse white matter changes in toluene abusers. This trend was observed when either DMA or cyclodextrin was used as a vehicle. It appears then, that the choice of a vehicle affected only the degree of bioavailability, but not the regional brain pharmacokinetics. Finally, we demonstrated the effect of a decreased percent difference between DV values for the studies performed on the same day, that is, test/retest variability was lower for all brain regions in β-cyclodextrin experiments. Present results clearly demonstrate that the choice of a vehicle has a significant effect on tracer uptake and should be considered as a potential factor contributing to the pharmacokinetic measurements.

A new exclusion plot, σ(m), has been derived for WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interactions. To obtain this result, 40 days of data from the IGEX detector (energy threshold Ethr ∼ 4 keV), recently collected, have been analyzed. These data improve the exclusion limits derived from all the other ionization germanium detectors in the mass region from 20 GeV to 200 GeV, where a WIMP supposedly responsible for the annual modulation effect reported by the DAMA experiment would be located. The new IGEX exclusion contour enters, by the first time, the DAMA region by using only raw data, with no background discrimination, and excludes its upper left part. It is also shown that with a moderate improvement of the detector performances, the DAMA region could be fully explored.

An intense (∼ 1 MCi) 37Ar source would be an ideal tool for the calibration of new solar neutrino detectors. The technology of the production of such a source is based on the irradiation of a large mass of a Ca-containing target in a high-flux fast-neutron reactor. Produced 37Ar extracted from this target, will be purified and encapsulated in a source holder. A joint scientific collaboration of Russian, US and Japanese institutions are researching and developing the initial steps of this work and are funded by ISTC and CRDF.

Even with nonzero neutrino mass strongly suggested by SNO, Super Kamiokande, and similar experiments sensitive to δm2, 0ν ββ-decay experiments are still the only way to establish the Dirac or Majorana nature of neutrinos by measuring effective electron neutrino mass, 〈mν〉. Various theorists have recently argued in favor of a neutrino mass between 0.01 and 1 eV. The Majorana Project aims to probe this effective neutrino mass range, reaching a sensitivity of 0.02–0.07 eV. The experiment relies entirely on proven technology and has been devised based upon the materials, technology, and data analysis demonstrated to produce the lowest background per kilogram of fiducial germanium. The project plan includes 500 kg of germanium detector material enriched to 85% in 76Ge, specialized pulse-acquisition electronics and detector segmentation for background rejection, and underground electroformed copper support hardware.

In order to fit the data on UHECRs, a cross section of 〈σ Aν〉 ∼ 10−26cm2(Mx/1012 GeV)SHAPE="BUILT" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">32 is required if the SH dark matter follows a Navarro—Frenk—White (NFW) density profile. This would require extremely large-l contributions to the annihilation cross section. An interesting finding of our calculation is that the annihilation in sub-galactic clumps of dark matter dominates over the annihilations in the smooth dark matter halo, thus implying much smaller values of the cross section needed to explain the observed fluxes of UHECRs.

Selective ionization by ESI affords direct detection of neutral nitrogen compounds and carboxylic acids in petroleum without pre-chromatographic isolation. Ultra-high resolution/mass accuracy allows detailed and positive identification of acidic NSO compounds in the crude oils. Observed compositional differences reflect known crude oil properties/histories. Collectively, ∼14,000 masses, spanning 18 different heteroatomic classes, are identified unequivocally, demonstrating the potential of ESI-FT-ICR MS for geochemical applications.

T1 - Unconventional superconductivity in CeCoIn5—a high pressure study JO - Physica B JF - Physica B Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 319 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 262 SN - 09214526 AB - The hybridization between a periodic lattice of almost localized (core like) electrons (of lanthanides or actinides) and band electrons has challenged researchers for over 30 years to unravel its microscopic origin and the many puzzling physical phenomena related to it. Among such phenomena are very unusual normal state properties, which differ strongly from Landau–Fermi liquid (FL) behavior or exciting unconventional forms of superconductivity. Here, we report on experimental studies of a recently discovered new class of these heavy fermion superconductors: CeTIn5 (T: transition metal). Our studies point towards the realization of unconventional superconductivity in these compounds. In both CeIrIn5 and in CeCoIn5 the specific heat C(T), thermal conductivity κ(T) and nuclear spin-relaxation rate decrease as a power law of temperature instead of exponentially for T. We present results of measurements of the heat capacity of CeCoIn5 at hydrostatic pressures p⩽1.6 GPa. In CeCoIn5 (as well as in CeIrIn5), Tc increases with increasing pressure, while the effective mass of the quasiparticles, meff, decreases as indicated by the ratio C/T(T⩾Tc). As a working hypothesis based on theories of a nearly antiferromagnetic FL this may be interpreted as the stabilization of the superconducting state by the increase of the characteristic spin-fluctuation temperature TSF(TSF∝kF2/meff). Interestingly, in CeIrIn5 the ratio ΔC/γTc=0.8 is small and almost stays constant with increasing pressure, while in CeCoIn5 ΔC/γTc≈5 is extremely large but starts to decrease rapidly at p⩾0.8 GPa where Tc(p) approaches a maximum.

This work presents a muon spin rotation (μSR) study, in zero external field, on single crystalline samples of the magnetic Er5Ir4Si10 (TCDW=155 and 55 K) and polycrystalline samples of Er5Ir4Ge10 (no CDW). The muon relaxation rate λ is strongly temperature dependent in both compounds. Furthermore, upon cooling below the CDW transition temperatures, a kink is seen in λ in Er5Ir4Si10. We interpret this result as a signature of the change in the density of states due to the establishment of the CDW.

JO - Plant, Cell & Environment JF - Plant, Cell & Environment Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 25 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 851 EP - 858 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01407791 AB - Abstract Growth in elevated p CO2 generally leads to a stimulation of net CO2 uptake rate. However, with long-term growth the magnitude of this stimulation is often reduced. This phenomenon, termed acclimation, has been largely attributed to a loss of Rubisco (ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase). The mechanism by which Rubisco content declines with long-term growth is not certain. There is evidence for a sugar-mediated, selective down-regulation of Rubisco protein and also for a non-selective loss of total leaf nitrogen, which impacts Rubisco levels indirectly. Over a season, and including needles at different developmental stages, we investigated these two potential mechanisms in well-developed Pinus taeda grown for approximately 2·5 years in elevated (56 Pa) p CO2 using free air CO2 enrichment technology. Photosynthetic acclimation, as manifested by a decrease in the activity of Rubisco measured both in vivo (- 25%, via gas exchange) and in vitro (- 35%, via enzyme assays), was observed with growth in elevated p CO2 . This acclimation was observed in one-year-old needles but not in current-year needles. Needles exhibiting acclimation had reduced levels of Lsu Rubisco (- 25%) and an increased foliar carbohydrate content (+ 30%) but showed no evidence of a decrease in needle nitrogen or total protein content. These data support the concept that photosynthetic acclimation in elevated p CO2 is caused by a selective down-regulation of Rubisco.

JO - Planta JF - Planta Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 215 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 371 EP - 379 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00320935 AB - Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) has two major H1 variants (H1A and H1B), which account for over 80% of chromatin linker histones, and four minor variants: H1C, H1D, H1E and H1F. We have shown previously [M. Prymakowska-Bosak et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:2317–2329] that reversal of the natural proportion of major to minor H1 variants in transgenic tobacco plants results in a characteristic male-sterility phenotype identical to that occurring in many plant species subjected to water deficit at the time of male meiosis. It has been proposed by others that the drought-induced arrest of male gametophyte development is linked to decreased sugar delivery to reproductive tissues. Within the family of angiosperm H1s there is a well-defined class of minor H1 variants named "drought inducible" because some of its members have been shown to be induced by water deficit. We have identified and cloned the tobacco H1C gene, which, based on sequence similarity, represents a "drought-inducible" minor H1 variant. Analysis of the un-translated mRNA and promoter regions of H1C suggests a regulation by sucrose concentration. Antisense silencing of H1C and its close homologue H1D in plants that do not express H1A and H1B does not affect the characteristic H1A–/H1B– male-sterility phenotype. Silencing of H1C and H1D also has no effect on growth and development of plants. Our findings demonstrate that H1C and H1D are dispensable for normal growth and development of tobacco, and that the compensatory up-regulation of "drought-inducible" H1s observed in H1A–/H1B– plants is not the direct cause of male sterility linked to alterations in H1 variants.

We assessed the relative contributions of these two groups of organisms to the microbial biomass and activity of soils from five different ecosystems with treatments hypothesized to enhance soil C sequestration: (1) desert (an elevation gradient allowed comparison of soil developed in a cooler, moister climate with soil developed in a warmer, drier climate), (2) restored tallgrass prairie (land reverted to native prairie in 1979 and neighboring land farmed to row crops for ∼100 year), (3,4) two forest types (Douglas fir and loblolly pine, unfertilized control and N-fertilized plots), and (5) agricultural land (conventional- and no-till management systems). The selective inhibition technique, using captan (fungicide) and oxytetracycline hydrochloride (bactericide), was used to determine the activities (respiration) of fungi and bacteria in each of these soils and substrate-induced respiration was used to measure total active soil microbial biomass C. Phospholipid fatty acid analysis was used to determine the composition of the soil microbial biomass and determine if the activities and structure of the microbial communities were related. Differences in fungal-to-bacterial (F:B) activities between treatments at a site were greatest at the prairie sites. The restored prairie had the highest F:B (13.5) and high total C (49.9 g C kg−1 soil); neighboring soil farmed to corn had an F:B of 0.85 and total C of 36.0 g C kg−1 soil. Within the pairs of study soils, those that were tilled had lower fungal activities and stored C than those that were managed to native or no-till systems. In all pairs of soils, soils that had higher absolute fungal activities also had more total soil C and when two extreme cases were removed fungal activity was correlated with total soil C (R2=0.85). Thus, in this small set of diverse soils, increased fungal activities, more than F:B ratios, were associated with increased soil C. Practices that involved invasive land management decreased fungal activity and stored soil C compared to similar soils that were less intrusively managed.

An emphasis is made on the effect of oxidation–reduction cycling on these properties. Depending on the dopant amount, x, and the oxygen partial pressure, LaxSr1−xTiO3 possesses an electrical conductivity on the order of 0.01–500 S/cm at 800–1000 °C. The thermal expansion of LaxSr1−xTiO3 is close to that of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). No significant chemical expansion or contraction of LaxSr1−xTiO3 with x<0.4 is observed when exposed to a wide variation in pO2. LaxSr1−xTiO3 is found to be dimensionally and chemically stable when subjected to oxidation–reduction cycling. Cell tests demonstrated the potential ability of the doped titanates to be used as SOFC anodes.

A block copolymer (BASF™ Pluronic p123) was employed as a template to generate the mesoporous structure. An ultraviolet (UV) illumination method was employed to remove the polymer templates at room temperature. The electrochromic and optical properties of the mesoporous films are described and compared to standard sol–gel tungsten oxide films. Results are also presented on the samples prepared by thermal treatment. We demonstrate that the UV illumination/ozone treatment is a superior method to remove templates which enables us to more effectively investigate the effect of mesoporosity on the electrokinetics of ion insertion into tungsten oxide films.

The family of techniques reaches from pure plasma ion implantation, to ion implantation and deposition hybrid modes, to modes that are essentially plasma film deposition with substrate bias. In the most general sense, all plasma immersion techniques have in common that the surface of a substrate (target) is exposed to plasma and that relatively high substrate bias is applied. The bias is usually pulsed. In this review, the roots of immersion techniques are explored, some going back to the 1800s, followed by a discussion of the groundbreaking works of Adler and Conrad in the 1980s. In the 1990s, plasma immersion techniques matured in theoretical understanding, scaling, and the range of applications. First commercial facilities are now operational. Various immersion concepts are compiled and explained in this review. While gas (often nitrogen) ion implantation dominated the early years, film-forming immersion techniques and semiconductor processing gained importance. In the 1980s and 1990s we have seen exponential growth of the field but signs of slowdown are clear since 1998. Nevertheless, plasma immersion techniques have found, and will continue to have, an important place among surface modification techniques.

The data show that a −4-kV bias is one order of magnitude more efficient than a bias of −8 kV for depositing DLC via plasma immersion ion processing (PIIP). Sputtering is the suspected cause for the reduced deposition efficiency at −8 kV. A methodology for comparing the magnitude of the ion and neutral flux is used to show that neutrals dominate the deposition process under all conditions tested. The necessary data are shown to prove that the coating hardness is independent of gas pressure when the ion flux, Ji, is less than 10% of the total flux, Jd. If Ji/Jd is greater than 10%, then increasing the gas pressure reduces the coating hardness to levels below 15 GPa. The implications of these results regarding sheath thickness, deposition rates and throughputs for large-area processing (many m2) are discussed.

When imaged from the [2¯110] direction, the dislocation spacing is 7.0±1.1 nm for the 70-nm-thick specimen, and 7.2±0.1 nm for the 7-nm-thick specimen. When imaged from the [011¯0] direction, the dislocation spacing is 4.5±0.1 nm for the 7-nm-thick specimen. The experimentally observed dislocation spacings are approximately consistent with those calculated from the lattice mismatch between α-Al2O3 and α-Fe2O3, implying that the lattice mismatch is accommodated mainly by interface misfit dislocations above the critical thickness, which is less than 7 nm. This conclusion is also corroborated by the measured residual strain of ∼0.5% determined from X-ray diffraction for the 70 nm film. Electron-energy-loss-spectroscopy analysis reveals that the Fe L2,3-edge shows no measurable chemical shift relative to the L2,3-edge of structural Fe+3, indicating complete oxidation of Fe in the as-grown film.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry, energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), secondary ion mass spectrometry, EL brightness and luminous efficiency (η) measurements were carried out. The as-deposited films have a 100 nm layer of equiaxed grains at the insulator/phosphor interface and columnar grains in the rest of the film. K is uniformly distributed through the 1 μm ZnS film after 5 min anneals at T⩾600 °C, while Cl requires an anneal at T⩾700 °C before diffusion results in a uniform concentration. Upon annealing at 700 °C for 5 min, the equiaxed grains were consumed by growth of the columnar grains, and growth of the columnar grain diameter is enhanced by the presence of KCl. The mixed cubic and hexagonal atomic stacking observed in as-deposited films became more cubic upon annealing with KCl co-dopants. EDS data from plan-view TEM samples indicate that K did not segregate to the grain boundaries. Considering the large ionic radius of K+ relative to Zn2+ (1.51 vs. 0.74 A˚), and the small temperature dependence of K diffusion into ZnS, it was postulated that K+ diffuses by an interstitial mechanism. In addition, it occupies an interstitial site in the cubic structure where it acts as a donor, similar to substitutional Cl−. ZnS:Mn co-doped with KCl shows significant improvement in EL brightness and luminous efficiency. It was concluded that the improved EL properties result from both improved crystallinity and modification of point defects and space charge in the ZnS:Mn, K, Cl films.

Based on the lessons from nature, scientists have been designing useful materials that respond to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, light, electric field, chemicals and ionic strength. These responses are manifested as dramatic changes in one of the following: shape, surface characteristics, solubility, formation of an intricate molecular self-assembly or a sol-to-gel transition. Applications of stimuli-responsive, or ‘smart’, polymers in delivery of therapeutics, tissue engineering, bioseparations, sensors or actuators have been studied extensively and numerous papers and patents are evidence of rapid progress in this area. Understanding the structure–property relationship is essential for the further development and rational design of new functional smart materials. For example, kinetic and thermodynamic control of the coil-to-globule transition could be achieved through changes in polymer composition and topology.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 38 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 17-1 EP - 17-14 SN - 00431397 AB - There are numerous analytical solutions available for flow in unsaturated homogeneous porous media. In this paper, the stream tube model for one-dimensional water movement is extended to two-dimensional (2-D) water movement from a line source as the stream plane model. As well, new solutions are derived to predict the mean and variance of pressure head of water movement under a surface line source in heterogeneous soil using the perturbation method with first-order approximation (PM1) and with second-order approximation (PM2). A variance expression was also developed based on the spectral relationship presented by Yeh et al. [1985a]. The new solutions were tested using the 2-D stream plane model with parameters A = ln(α) and Y = ln( K S) and measurements from field experiments. Results show that the mean of steady state pressure head below the line source is not only a function of the mean parameter values but also a function of the variances of A and Y and the linear cross-correlation coefficient (ρ) between A and Y. The PM2 model can predict the mean pressure head accurately in heterogeneous soils at any level of correlation between A and Y, except when both the soil variability and ρ are high. The pressure head variance estimation based on the PM1 model predicts the measured variance well only when both the soil variability and ρ are low. The field experimental results show that both the PM1 and the spectral models give reasonable predictions of the pressure head variance. Both the measured and predicted values of the variance of pressure head using the two models increase with the depth of soil. Both models show that the variance of pressure head decreases as the source strength increases, but on average, the pressure head variance was underestimated by both models.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/07// VL - 38 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 30-1 EP - 30-15 SN - 00431397 AB - A single-well injection-withdrawal (SWIW) test is evaluated as a tool to assess a single-porosity conceptualization for a transport system. We have shown that there are cases in which matrix diffusion cannot be proven definitively from the results of SWIW tests owing to uncertainties of aquifer properties. Drift during the resting phase of the test can carry a plume to areas where the flux is lower during the withdrawal phase, leading to decreased mass recovery rates. Results of sensitivity studies on multiple, stochastically generated, heterogeneous transmissivity fields indicate that variance in transmissivity has a strong effect on drift and consequently mass recovery rates. In addition to impacting drift directly, the regional gradient has the potential to influence mass recovery rates by interfering with the pumping-induced fluxes toward the well during withdrawal. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to evaluate whether simulated data using a single-porosity conceptualization with plume drift significantly differ from SWIW tracer test data from a fractured dolomite unit at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Given the uncertainty in the variance of transmissivity, it is unlikely that a single-porosity conceptualization can match the field data. Matrix diffusion is a likely explanation for the observed gradual mass recovery rates.

JO - Physics Letters B JF - Physics Letters B Y1 - 2002/07/04/ VL - 538 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 327 SN - 03702693 AB - In the standard model the CP asymmetries in B→ψKS and B→ψKL are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to very good approximation. We compute the order ∊K corrections to each of these CP asymmetries and find that they give a deviation from sin2β at the half percent level, which may eventually be measurable. However, the correction to aCP(B→ψKS)+aCP(B→ψKL) due to ∊K is further suppressed. The dominant corrections to this sum, at the few times 10−3 level, come from the B lifetime difference, and CP violation in BB mixing and B→ψK decay. New physics could induce a significant difference in the sin(ΔmB t) time dependence in the asymmetries if and only if the “wrong-flavor” amplitudes B→ψK or B→ψK are generated. A scale of new physics that lies well below the weak scale would be required. Potential scenarios are therefore highly constrained, and do not appear feasible. A direct test is proposed to set bounds on such effects.

Although quite general, it requires supersymmetric interactions to respect an R symmetry with definite quantum numbers, and it requires some new scale of symmetry breaking. The required R symmetry distinguishes the Higgs boson from the sneutrino, preserves baryon number in operators of dimension four and five, and contains R parity so that the lightest superpartner is stable. This origin for μ works for a variety of mediation mechanisms, including gauge mediation, gaugino mediation, and boundary condition breaking of supersymmetry. In any of these mediation schemes, our mechanism leads to a real B parameter, and the supersymmetric CP problem is solved. This R symmetry may naturally arise from supersymmetric theories in higher dimensions.

Results from Boulder Canyon show that terrace heights above the modern channel (grade) can be divided into: (1) Bull Lake (≳100 ka; 20–15 m above grade); (2) Pinedale (32–10 ka; 15–4 m above grade); and (3) Holocene age (<4 m above grade). No pre-Bull Lake deposits are preserved along Boulder Canyon, and only three small remnants >15 m above grade record Bull Lake deposition. Well-preserved terraces of Pinedale age suggest that the range of terrace height above grade reflects short-term fluctuations in the river profile during periods of rapidly changing stream load and power. Net river incision apparently occurred during transitions to interglacial periods. Soil development and stratigraphic position, along with limited cosmogenic and 14C dating, suggest that ~130 ka terraces in Boulder Canyon correlate with the Louviers Alluvium, and that 32 to 10 ka fills in the canyon correlate with the Broadway Alluvium on the adjacent High Plains. Late Pleistocene incision rates (~0·15 m ka-1) along Boulder Canyon exceed pre-late Pleistocene incision rates, and are higher than middle to late Pleistocene incision rates (~0·04 m ka-1) on the High Plains. This study provides an example of how modern geochronologic techniques allow us to understand better rivers that drain glaciated catchments. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Time-resolved images of the contact area during drainage show an initial elastohydrodynamic deformation of the substrates. In the late stage, the expulsion of a molecularly thin layer of alcohol is imaged in two dimensions. We analyze the dynamics of the expulsion process and discuss the physical mechanisms in terms of a model that includes the hydrodynamic flow in the two-dimensional liquid layer and the elastic properties of the substrates. We also discuss the optical resolution required to observe layering transitions in two dimensions and present a new design of a SFA optimized for these purposes.

Proteins in living systems are not isolated, but operate in networks and in a carefully regulated environment. Understanding the external control of protein dynamics is consequently important. Hydration and solvent viscosity are among the salient properties of the environment. Dehydrated proteins and proteins in a rigid environment do not function properly. It is consequently important to understand the effect of hydration and solvent viscosity in detail. We discuss experiments that separate the two effects. These experiments have predominantly been performed with wild-type horse and sperm whale myoglobin, using the binding of carbon monoxide over a broad range of temperatures as a tool. The experiments demonstrate that data taken only in the physiological temperature range are not sufficient to understand the effect of hydration and solvent on protein relaxation and function. While the actual data come from myoglobin, it is expected that the results apply to most or all globular proteins.

The spectrum is consistent with the rapid radiationless transition from the S2 state into high vibrational levels of the S1 state, as proposed by Smith et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 88 (1984) 2250]. Features in the double-resonance spectrum of Smith et al. that were previously assigned to photoionization of S(−) 3s(−)1A″2 vibrational levels populated by a radiationless transition from the S2 state are reinterpreted, with the conclusion that the S(−) state has yet to be observed.

We study the properties of this function using high-resolution N-body simulations, and find that P[sub V](N[sub h]|δ[sub m]) is significantly non-Poisson. The ratio between the variance and the mean goes from ∼1 (Poisson) at 1+δ[sub m]≪1 to <1 (sub-Poisson) at 1+δ[sub m]∼1 to >1 (super-Poisson) at 1+δ[sub m]≫1 . The mean bias relation is found to be well described by halo bias models based on the Press–Schechter formalism. The sub-Poisson variance can be explained as a result of halo exclusion, while the super-Poisson variance at high δ[sub m] may be explained as a result of halo clustering. A simple phenomenological model is proposed to describe the behaviour of the variance as a function of δ[sub m]. Galaxy distribution in the cosmic density field predicted by semi-analytic models of galaxy formation shows similar stochastic behaviour. We discuss the implications of the stochasticity in halo bias to the modelling of higher order moments of dark haloes and of galaxies.

Lead tungstate (PbWO4) has been developed for high-energy physics experiments, and possesses exceptionally high density and radiation hardness, albeit with low luminous efficiency. Lutetium orthosilicate or LSO (Lu2SiO5:Ce) possesses a unique combination of high luminous efficiency, high density, and reasonably short decay time, and is now incorporated in commercial positron emission tomography cameras. There have been advances in understanding the fundamental mechanisms that limit energy resolution, and several recently discovered materials (such as LaBr3:Ce) possess energy resolution that approaches that of direct solid state detectors. Finally, there are indications that a neglected class of scintillator materials that exhibit near band-edge fluorescence could provide scintillators with sub-nanosecond decay times and high luminescent efficiency.

These data are compared to two model predictions of substantially different sophistication: (i) an update of the empirical Kratz-Herrmann formula (KHF), and (ii) a unified macroscopic-microscopic model within the quasi-particle random-phase approximation (QRPA). Both models are also used to calculate so far unknown T1/2 and Pn values up to Z = 63. A number of possible refinements in the microscopic calculations are suggested to further improve the nuclear-physics foundation of these data for reactor and astrophysical applications.

Total delayed-neutron production was obtained at times during and following pulse (0.1-ms) and equilibrium (4-hr) fission histories for each of the sixty fission systems having fission-product yields in ENDF/B-VI. The equilibrium studies — at unit fission rate for constant fission periods sufficiently long that all precursors reached saturation inventories — yielded the vd value for each system. Delayed-neutron production rates at 54 decay times t, extending to 500 s following a fission pulse, were fit using the STEPIT code to the pulse function R(t) = ∑aiλie−λit. Results following equilibrium irradiations were fit to the equilibrium function R(∞, t) = ∑aiλie−λit. It was observed that functions from fits to pulse results did not well represent equilibrium results at long cooling times. Similarly, functions fit to the equilibrium results did not well represent pulse results at short cooling times.A comprehensive series of CINDER'90 calculations was then made for irradiation times T of 0.1 ms, 1 s, 10 s, 100 s, 1000 s, and 4 hours; results were obtained at 60 decay times t extending to 800 s following irradiation. Comprehensive calculations were made using both the 1989 Pn data of England and Brady and the new Pn data of Pfeiffer, Kratz and Mo¨ller described elsewhere in this issue. The body of results for each system was included in fits to obtain the neutron production rate R(T, t) = ∑aie−λit(1 − e−λiT) for each system. Fits were made for the traditional sum of six exponentials, with all variables free to vary; additional fits were made for a sum of eight exponentials with decay constants set to values suggested by Piksaikin. The resulting pulse functions R(t), defined by the ai and λi thus obtained, accurately represent calculated delayed-neutron production when integrated with any irradiation history.The pulse functions thus produced and other published pulse functions fit to past measurements and calculations are compared numerically at several times after fission. Reactivity effects of all functions from measurements and calculations for each of the sixty systems are indicated by the asymptotic periods following positive 10¢– 50¢ reactivity steps simulated in point-reactor kinetics calculations using the AIREK-10 code.

In 1981 Richard Feynman raised some provocative questions in connection to the “exact imitation” of such systems using a special device named a “quantum computer”. Feynman hesitated about the possibility of imitating fermion systems using such a device. Here we address some of his concerns and, in particular, investigate the simulation of fermionic systems. We show how quantum computers avoid the sign problem in some cases by reducing the complexity from exponential to polynomial. Our demonstration is based upon the use of isomorphisms of algebras. We present specific quantum algorithms that illustrate the main points of our algebraic approach.

This simulation method utilizes a hierarchy of simulators in which the integrated responses (signals) from smaller-scale process models are transferred and incorporated into the algorithms of larger spatial- and temporal-scale models of ecological and economic phenomena. Several innovative procedures germane to multi-issue sustainable forest management have been initiated in our signal-transfer modeling development for forests of the southeastern United States. These developments include response surface interpolation for multi-factor signal-transfer, use of loblolly pine modeling to infer the growth of other southern pines, determination of soil nutrient limitations to productivity, multivariate clustering as a spatial basis for defining land units relevant to forest management, and variance propagation through the modeling hierarchy. Algorithms for larger scale phenomena are shown to constrain the variance introduced from a smaller-scale in a simulation of ambient ozone exposure effects on loblolly pine timber yield. Outputs of forest variables are frequency distributions that may be statistically compared for alternative environmental or management scenarios.

Calcium and Mg in the bulk and at the surface have been replaced with divalent Ni, Co, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cd. The results of these calculations indicate that in the bulk, these impurities will prefer to substitute at the Ca site rather than the Mg site. Ca excess in dolomite is most likely incorporated as basal stacking faults; this nonstoichiometry can influence the site distribution of impurities. The calculated surface segregation energies suggest that of all the impurities studied, only Cd will show a strong preference for the (101¯4) surface of dolomite.

By choosing the atoms or molecules of the buffer gas to have low masses as compared to the masses of the ions to be cooled, the energy transfer in ion–atom or ion–molecule collisions is minimized. For small enough initial ion energies thus only a small percentage of the ions is neutralized in the collision processes. For Cl and I ions cooled in a He buffer gas we have achieved absolute transmission efficiencies of more than 50%.

To correct for the fringing rf-field aberrations each rod of the selection quadrupole has been segmented into three sections, so that ion excitation and ejection was performed by applying auxiliary rf-only waveforms in the region of the middle segments. Two different modes of external ion trapping and ejection were studied with the mixtures of model peptides and a tryptic digest of bovine serum albumin (BSA). A mass resolution of about 100 has been attained for rf-only dipolar ejection in a quadrupole operating at a Mathieu parameter (q) of ∼0.45. LC-ESI-DREAMS-FTICR analysis of a 0.1 mg/mL solution of BSA digest resulted in detection of 82 unique tryptic peptides with mass measurement errors lower than 5 ppm, providing 100% sequence coverage of the protein.

We used a quadrupole ICP mass spectrometer at sea to acquire continuous trace element data during separate surveys of the Baja California coastal margin, and the San Diego Bay and coastal environment. There is evidence for extreme Ba depletion in surface waters off the Baja coast, which is the result of biological productivity and marine barite precipitation. The synoptic data are used to elucidate the biochemical mechanism of barium removal; to constrain the spatial and temporal boundaries over which the phenomenon occurs; and to quantify surface flux to sediments. Further systems application led to mapping of the distribution of a suite of biologically active trace metals (Mn, Ni, Zn, Cu, and Cd) in San Diego Bay, and the Bay signature was tracked in tidal plumes into the coastal ocean. The continuous data provided chemical gradients within the Bay, with which we estimate the contaminant metal flux that is discharged from the Bay into the coastal ocean during tidal pumping.

Such a scaling behavior is motivated by the idea of a Color Glass Condensate, or more generally, saturation of the gluon density. In particular, we describe the shapes of transverse mass spectra as a function of centrality. This scaling of the transverse mass spectrum is shown to be consistent with previously observed scaling of multiplicity with centrality.

Ternary additions of iron and cobalt with similar atomic sizes were added to replace nickel in NiAl containing 40% Al. Cobalt solutes did not affect the lattice parameter or the hardening behavior of NiAl alloys. Iron solutes, on the other hand, substantially expanded the lattice, resulting in unusual solid solution softening. These results could not be explained from a consideration of the size mismatch based on the Goldschmidt radii for iron and cobalt atoms. From the contrasting behavior of the iron and cobalt solutes, magnetic interactions induced by iron atoms located on the aluminum sublattice have been identified as a new factor responsible for the unusual large lattice dilation and resultant solid solution softening in these intermetallic alloys.

We investigate the series of higher order terms which smear over a region of width ΔEℓ∼ΛQCD near the endpoint the contributions proportional to δ(Eℓ−mb/2) times (i) the matrix element of the chromomagnetic operator, and (ii) four-quark operators.

The morphologies and crystalline structures of RuO2·xH2O were investigated using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) techniques. From the TEM images, it was observed that the particle size of RuO2·xH2O increased with increasing annealing temperature. From the SAED patterns, it was observed that RuO2·xH2O powders became an amorphous phase at annealing temperatures <116 °C and became a crystalline phase at annealing temperatures above 116 °C. Amorphous RuO2·xH2O prepared at 116 °C reached its maximum specific capacitance as a result of proton insertion into the bulk of RuO2 but with smaller Ru–Ru distance in the local structure. The more disordered structure induced by proton insertion was obtained by SAED pattern from a sample annealed at 116 °C. The possible connection between the microstructure and specific capacitance of RuO2·xH2O is discussed.

The calibration was performed with data from elastic electron scattering from polarized 3He. The response of the photo-multiplier tubes was linearized with a quadratic correction, allowing a unique number of photo-electrons (PEs) to be extracted. The result obtained (∼7.3 PEs) is consistent with the performance of the prototype detector tested earlier under ideal conditions.

The merits of these methods have been studied with testbeam data from the CDF Plug Upgrade Calorimeter. It turns out that one of the (commonly used) calibration methods introduces a number of undesirable side effects, such as an increased hadronic signal nonlinearity and trigger biases resulting from the fact that the reconstructed energy of hadrons depends on the starting point of their showers. These problems can be avoided when a different calibration method is used. The results of this study are applied to determine the e/h values of the calorimeter and its segments.

It employs a two-stage adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator with a 23 cm long cold finger to operate the detector inside a sample chamber for X-ray fluorescence measurements. This cryogenic detector system was characterized in the energy range from 100 eV to 900 eV with respect to its energy resolution ranging from 12 eV to 25 eV FWHM, count rate capability up to 80 kcps and absolute detection efficiency using undulator radiation monochromatized by means of a plane grating monochromator beamline. Collimating the beam to the detector area improves the energy resolution by about 10%. The potential of this novel detector for beamline characterization was investigated.

It was found that the flux of reactive oxygen species to the surface was not high enough to maintain the proper stoichiometry, even at the lowest measurable deposition rates. Therefore, the films were grown by depositing Mo in small increments and then allowing the Mo to oxidize. At 675 K, the films grew epitaxially but in a three-dimensional manner. XRD of films grown under these conditions revealed a tetragonal structure that has not been previously observed in bulk MoO3 samples. Decreasing the growth temperature to 535 K led to polycrystalline α-MoO3 preferentially aligned with the [0 1 0] and [1 0 0] directions of the grains oriented normal to the substrate. By manipulating the initial growth conditions, relatively flat, epitaxial MoO3 films could be grown on SrLaAlO4(0 0 1). In this case, the equivalent of one layer of β-MoO3(0 0 1) was deposited at 675 K before adding several layers of MoO3 at 550 K. Unlike growth solely at 675 K, the MoO3 formed in this manner did not dewet the surface when reheated to 675 K and RHEED indicated that continued MoO3 growth at this temperature proceeded epitaxially. XRD and AFM indicated that films grown in this manner contained α-MoO3 crystallites in addition to an epitaxial phase that accounted for most of the surface area of the film. STM images of the film that revealed step heights expected for β-MoO3(0 0 1), along with RHEED results that revealed in-plane lattice constants consistent with β-MoO3, indicated that epitaxial β-MoO3 films can be grown and that geometric matching to the substrate can stabilize the β phase at temperatures where it is not stable in the bulk.

This neutrality is very important for the design of both experiments and testing protocols. Here we show that the φX174 am3, cs70 transgene gives qualitatively similar results to the other transgenes studied after exposure of the mice to N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea . In the small intestine, the mutant frequency induced by an acute dose did not change significantly from 10 to 70 days post-treatment, indicating that the mutations induced are, indeed, neutral. Likewise, the mutant frequency increased linearly with duration of exposure to ENU at a constant rate. Mutant frequencies obtained were 10 times higher from the chronic exposure than produced by a nearly lethal acute dose. As in previous comparisons of a transgene and the endogenous Dlb-1 locus in the small intestine, the chronic exposure was much more effective at increasing the sensitivity of the transgene than of the endogenous gene. The Dlb-1 locus shows more complex kinetics in this strain, as in others, with mutations initially accumulating at a slower rate, indicating a differential repair of genetic damage.

Within this model, J/ψ suppression in heavy-ion collisions is caused mainly by the initial state nuclear absorption and dissociation via gluon-J/ψ scattering in deconfined partonic medium. Only the second mechanism gives arise to azimuthal asymmetry of the final J/ψ production. We demonstrate that if there is an onset of suppression by quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in the NA50 data, it must be accompanied by the non-vanishing azimuthal asymmetry. Using the same critical density above which the QGP effect enters, we predict the azimuthal asymmetric coefficient v2 as well as the survival probability for J/ψ at the RHIC energy.

CB1 receptor knockout mice developed a strong place preference to 4 and 8 mg/kg morphine, similar to that in wild-type Swiss–Webster mice. This data thus does not support a contribution of the brain cannabinoid system to morphine reward.

Using surface X-ray diffraction we measured the time response of this phase transition due to an applied step potential. We find that the time response of the phase transition is limited by the properties of the thin layer geometry. By modeling the electrochemical cell as a RC circuit, we argue that the observed time delay is primarily due to the slow diffusion of charge into the central region of the electrode surface.

The objective of the investigation was to compare XANES with radioactive tracer techniques used by Brasher et al. Cr(III) was detected on the passive iron surface. The amount of Cr(III) was increased by cathodic polarization and decreased by anodic polarization. This demonstrated that the uptake of Cr(III) was the result of cathodic processes and was not a direct result of the growth of the passive oxide film. Cr(VI) was only found after Fe was exposed to a saturated dichromate solutions for extended periods indicating that Cr(VI) was not strongly absorbed on the passive film.

We show that the oxidation state of V in V2O5 aerogel cathode heated under vacuum (100 μTorr) at 220 °C for 20.5 h is similar to that of V in a commercially obtained sample of orthorhombic V2O5. In addition, lithium (Li) insertion during the first cycle of discharging leads to the reduction of V(V) to V(IV) and V(IV) to V(III) in a manner consistent with the stoichiometry of the sample (i.e. LixV2O5). Li extraction during charging leads to oxidation of V(III) to V(IV) and then V(IV) to V(V). Furthermore, the oxidation state of V in fully charged cathodes remains unchanged with cycling (upto at least the 16th cycle) from that of V in the control V2O5 aerogel cathode. However, the average oxidation state of V in discharged V2O5 cathodes increased with cycling. Moreover, the local structure of V in the discharged state has a higher degree of symmetry than that of the fully charged state. A significant change in the structure of the V&z.sbnd;V correlation of discharged cathodes is observed with cycling indicating the formation of electrochemically irreversible phases.

In order to determine the charge compensation mechanism and structural perturbations occurring in the system during cycling, in situ battery X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (XAFS) measurements were conducted on a cell cycled at a moderate rate and typical Li-ion battery operating voltages (3.0–4.1 V). The XAFS data collected at the Ni and Co edges approximately every 30 min during cycling revealed details about the response of the cathode to Li insertion and extraction. These measurements on the LixNi0.8Co0.2O2 cathode (0.29〈001〉 textured columnar microstructure. The well-known variational formulation for the total dissipated power, due to Needleman and Rice, provides the formal basis for our two-dimensional simulations. A stochastic velocity Monte-Carlo algorithm is used to minimize the functional in each time step. The competition between grain-boundary migration and grain rotation introduces a physical length scale, Rc, into the system, enabling the growth process to be characterized by two regimes. If the average grain size is smaller than Rc, as is the case in nanocrystalline materials, grain growth is dominated by the grain-rotation-coalescence mechanism. By contrast, if the average grain size is greater than Rc, then growth is dominated by curvature-driven grain-boundary migration. The growth exponents characterizing the power-law time dependence of the average grain size are different for the two growth regimes. An extended von Neumann–Mullins relation, based on averaged grain-boundary properties, is further extended to include the effect of grain rotations.

Yttrium doping inhibited densification and coarsening at 1450 °C, but had very little effect at 1550 °C and no effect at 1650 °C. The change in densification behaviour is suggested to be related to the transition with increasing temperature from grain boundary diffusion to lattice diffusion controlled densification. The coarsening rate increases faster with temperature than the densification rate. This was correlated with a higher measured activation energy for grain growth than for the diffusion processes, which control the densification.

The joints are pore free and Vickers indentation induced cracks indicate that the joints are strong. The cracks have been used to measure residual stresses, which can be modified by using an interlayer between the materials to be joined. The results agree well with those obtained by finite-element analysis. Ruby fluorescence has been used to measure the hydrostatic stress.

The interrelationship between this new parameter and the critical cooling rate or critical section thickness is elaborated and discussed in comparison with two other representatives, i.e. reduced glass transition temperature Trg (=Tg/Tl, where Tg and Tl are the glass transition temperature and liquidus temperature, respectively) and supercooled liquid range ΔTxg (=Tx−Tg, where Tx is the onset crystallization temperature and Tg the glass transition temperature). Our results have shown that ΔTxg alone cannot infer relative GFA for BMGs while the new parameter γ, defined as Tx/(Tg+Tl), has a much better interrelationship with GFA than Trg. An approximation of the critical cooling rate and critical section thickness for glass formation in bulk metallic glasses is also formulated and evaluated.

We begin with the conceptual models of the biophase that underlie mathematical descriptions of these processes and the physical processes that provide the framework for recent focus on less understood processes. Novel conceptual models of the interactions between cell surface structures and other surfaces are introduced, that are more realistic than the oft-relied upon DLVO theory of colloid stability. Biological processes reviewed include active adhesion/detachment (cell partitioning between aqueous and solid phase initiated by cell metabolism) and chemotaxis (motility in response to chemical gradients). We also discuss mathematical issues involved in upscaling results from the cell scale to the Darcy and field scales. Finally, recent studies at the Oyster, Virginia field site are discussed in terms of relating laboratory results to field scale problems of bioremediation and pathogen transport in the natural subsurface.

After inclusion of constitutive relationships, the resulting momentum balance equations feature terms characterizing the coupling among the fluid phases and the solid matrix caused by their relative accelerations. These terms, which imply a number of interesting phenomena, do not appear in current hydrologic models of subsurface multiphase flow. Our equations of momentum balance are shown to reduce to the Berryman–Thigpen–Chen model of bulk elastic wave propagation through unsaturated porous media after simplification (e.g., isothermal conditions, neglect of gravity, etc.) and under the assumption of constant volume fractions and material densities. When specialized to the case of a porous medium containing a single fluid and an elastic solid, our momentum balance equations reduce to the well-known Biot model of poroelasticity. We also show that mass balance alone is sufficient to derive the Biot model stress–strain relations, provided that a closure condition for porosity change suggested by de la Cruz and Spanos is invoked. Finally, a relation between elastic parameters and inertial coupling coefficients is derived that permits the partial differential equations of the Biot model to be decoupled into a telegraph equation and a wave equation whose respective dependent variables are two different linear combinations of the dilatations of the solid and the fluid.

The spectrometer consists of a 131% efficient Ge detector in U-type configuration. The passive shielding consists of ultrapure lead of 6″ thickness. A top muon guard is used as an active shielding. The spectrometer and shielding are positioned inside a steel room made of 6″-thick pre-World War II iron. The steel room is located underground with 33 m of water-equivalent overburden. The total integrated background rate in the energy range 50–2700 keV was measured at 0.068 counts per second per 100 cm3 Ge volume. The spectrometer serves as a reference instrument for low-level and highly accurate environmental radioactivity measurements. One specific application of 228Ra determination in drinking water is described. With a 1 l water sample, 1-step chemical procedure, and 1000 min counting time, a detection limit Ld=20 mBq/l (0.55 pCi/l) was reached, which meets the EPA mandated limit of 1 pCi/l. Methods of upgrading the spectrometer as well as the predicted improvements in 228Ra detection, including direct counting of water without chemical processing, are discussed.

We find that a cross-section of 〈σAv〉∼10−26 cm2 (MX/1012 GeV)3/2 is required to account for the observed rate of super-GZK events if the superheavy dark matter follows a Navarro–Frenk–White density profile. This would require extremely large-l contributions to the annihilation cross-section. We also calculate the possible signature from annihilation in sub-galactic clumps of dark matter and find that the signal from sub-clumps dominates and may explain the observed flux with a much smaller cross-section than if the superheavy dark matter is smoothly distributed. Finally, we discuss the expected anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays, which is a characteristic signature of this scenario.

Estimated rates of C accumulation in surface (0–40 cm) mineral soil were 40–170 g C m−2 yr−1 during the first decade following plantation establishment. Most soil C at each site was found in mineral-associated organic matter (i.e., soil C associated with the silt–clay fraction). Soils with high sand content and low initial C stocks exhibited the greatest gains in particulate organic matter C (POM-C). Labile soil C stocks (consisting of forest floor and mineral soil POM-C) became an increasingly important component of soil C storage as loblolly pine stands aged. Rates of mineral soil C accumulation were highly variable in the first decade of plantation growth, depending on location, but the findings support a hypothesis that farm to tree plantation conversions can result in high initial rates of soil C accumulation in the southeastern United States.

However, separate applications of ES and CFD usually cannot give an accurate prediction of building thermal and flow behavior due to the assumptions used in the applications. An integration of ES and CFD can eliminate many of these assumptions, since the information provided by ES and CFD is complementary. This paper describes some efficient approaches to integrate ES and CFD, such as static and dynamic coupling strategies, in order to bridge the discontinuities of time-scale, spatial resolution and computing speed between ES and CFD programs. This investigation further demonstrates some of the strategies through two examples by using the EnergyPlus and MIT-CFD programs.

By assembling the appropriate modules, a zonal model of an entire building can be constructed. A model-generating tool called GenSPARK automates this process. SPARK solves the set of equations resulting from this construction to obtain the air flow and temperature distribution in the building.

Chemical kinetic simulations of the reactions of HMX require knowledge of its enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity in the gas-phase and condensed phases. While some experimental measurements are available, most available thermochemical information has been obtained by analogy with the smaller species, RDX, and its reaction products. Using the Hartree-Fock method with the 6-31G* basis set we have calculated structures, vibrational frequencies, and bond strengths for the isolated HMX molecule and its two major reaction products. This, with some available experimental data, allows us to calculate the relevant thermochemical parameters for these species. With this information and some published experimental measurements of sublimation pressure, phase change enthalpies, and heat capacities, we have also calculated some thermochemical data for three condensed phases of HMX: β-HMX, δ-HMX and liquid HMX. We present the thermochemical parameters in both the JANAF and CHEMKIN format. We also compare the current calculations with previous estimates.

The facility is located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. Virtual science laboratories like VNMRF represent a compelling vision. They are consistent with the notion laid out by former chairman of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council William A. Wulf of a collaboratory or virtual science laboratory as a center without walls, in which the nation's researchers can perform their research without regard to geographical locatio. Such laboratories strive to be open research environments in which scientists from various disciplines collaborate on advanced research using leading-edge instruments and tools while reducing the physical, organizational and political boundaries that might otherwise inhibit them from frilly using their collective skills, abilities, and brainpower to solve the world's most challenging scientific problems.

Significant changes are expected to happen in computational science during this period. Supercomputer centers worldwide must continue to enhance their successful role as centers that bridge the gap between advanced development in computer science and mathematics on one hand, and scientific research in the physical, chemical, biological, and earth sciences on the other. Implementing such a strategy will position NERSC and other centers in the U.S. to continue to enhance the scientific productivity of the computational physics community, and to be an indispensable tool for scientific discovery.

Here we report on the first molecular-dynamics simulations of martensitic transformations—i.e. structural transformations from fcc to bcc—in sintered Fe&z.sbnd;Ni nanoparticles. The atomic interactions were described by an embedded-atom method (EAM) potential specially designed to model the Fe&z.sbnd;Ni system. Simulations were carried out by applying a constant pressure and temperature ensemble (NPT ensemble) to 32 nanoparticles each containing slightly more than 1000 atoms. The nano-particles initially were placed with random crystallographic orientation on an fcc lattice such that the particles attract each other. After relaxation for 0.58 ns at a temperature of 800 K and a pressure of 0 GPa a polycrystalline sample with a density just about two percent larger than that of a perfect single crystal was achieved. Subsequent cooling towards low temperatures allows the study of the temperature-induced martensitic transformation at pre-existing defects.

Large increases in the pitting potential of Fe–18%Cr–x%Mo in chloride solution were found with increasing Mo content, compared with the distinctly smaller increases in bromide solution. There was an excellent correlation between the increase in pitting potentials of ferritic alloys between Fe–18%Cr–2% and 5%Mo in the chloride and bromide solutions with the increased dissolution overvoltages in the saturated solution of dissolved products within artificial pits. Austenitic stainless steels also showed larger increases in pitting potential in chloride solution than in bromide solution. Higher pitting potentials were recorded for the austenitic than the ferrite steels with the same Mo content. For austenitic steels, the pitting potentials in bromide and chloride solutions were not attributable solely to the difference in dissolution rates or repassivation characteristics in saturated solution of the dissolved products. It was concluded that initiation processes play an important role in the pitting of austenitic stainless steels.

A phase transition from a hexagonal structure (H1) to another hexagonal structure (H2) was observed during a C/17 charge to 4.7 V. The new H2 unit cell has a shorter “a” axis and a longer “c” axis, as was observed in the LiNiO2 cathode material during charge. However, the second phase transition that occurs in LixNiO2 at voltages higher than 4.3 V, to a third hexagonal structure, H3, with much shorter “c” axis, was not observed. During discharge, the LixMn0.5Ni0.5O2 structure reversibly changed back from H2 to H1. After that, another hexagonal structure H0 with a slightly larger “a” parameter was formed following further discharging. Extended discharge at a voltage near 1 V resulted in an amorphous structure.

T1 - Sealing ducts in large commercial buildings with aerosolized sealant particles JO - Energy & Buildings JF - Energy & Buildings Y1 - 2002/08// VL - 34 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 705 SN - 03787788 AB - Electricity energy savings potential by eliminating air leakage from ducts in large commercial buildings is on the order of 10 kWh/m2 per year (1 kWh/ft2). We have tested, in two large commercial buildings, a new technology that simultaneously seals duct leaks and measures effective leakage area of ducts. The technology is based upon injecting a fog of aerosolized sealant particles into a pressurized duct system. In brief, this process involves blocking all of the intentional openings in a duct system (e.g. diffusers). Therefore, when the system is pressurized, the only place for the air carrying the aerosol particles to exit the system is through the leaks. The key to the technology is to keep the particles suspended within the airstream until they reach the leaks, and then to have them leave the airstream and deposit on the leak sites. The principal finding from this field study was that the aerosol technology is capable of sealing the leaks in a large commercial building duct system within a reasonable time frame. In the first building, 66% of the leakage area was sealed within 2.5 h of injection, and in the second building 86% of the leakage area was sealed within 5 h. We also found that the aerosol could be blown through the VAV boxes in the second building without impacting their calibrations or performance. Some remaining questions are: (1) how to achieve sealing rates comparable to those experienced in smaller residential systems; and (2) what tightness level these ducts systems can be brought to by means of aerosol sealing.

The data may represent the linear or nonlinear response of structures, and may be obtained from computed simulations or from the measured response of instrumented structures. When applied to displacement response data, an ordered set of orthonormal mode shapes is obtained. The principal components analysis (PCA) mode shapes coincide with or are related to the elastic mode shapes for linear elastic systems, and depart from these shapes as nonlinear response becomes more prominent. The PCA modes provide an unambiguous and simple description of the ‘predominant’ mode of structures responding to earthquake ground motions, and thus improve the theoretical basis of nonlinear static procedures that use ‘equivalent’ single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems for representing the response of structures subjected to damaging earthquake ground motions (e.g. the capacity spectrum and displacement coefficient methods). Where greater fidelity is desired, the most efficient representations are obtained by including as few PCA modes as are needed for the degree of precision desired. This paper presents the theory of PCA and illustrates its application to a 12-story frame building responding linearly and nonlinearly to earthquake ground motions. ‘Equivalent’ SDOF models of the structure are developed based on the PCA mode shapes, and these are applied to estimate the computed displacement histories.

SN - 01676369 AB - Zero-valent iron (Fe0)-based permeable reactive barrier treatment has been generating great interest for passive groundwater remediation, yet few studies have paid particular attention to the microbial activity and characteristics within and in the vicinity of the Fe0-barrier matrix. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the microbial population and community composition in the reducing zone of influence by Fe0 corrosion in the barrier at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant site. Both phospholipid fatty acids and DNA analyses were used to determine the total microbial population and microbial functional groups, including sulfate-reducing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, and methanogens, in groundwater and soil/iron core samples. A diverse microbial community was identified in the strongly reducing Fe0 environment despite a relatively high pH condition within the Fe0 barrier (up to pH ∼ 10). In comparison with those found in the background soil/groundwater samples, the enhanced microbial population ranged from ∼ 1 to 3 orders of magnitude and appeared to increase from upgradient of the barrier to downgradient soil. In addition, microbial community composition appeared to change over time, and the bacterial types of microorganisms increased consistently as the barrier aged. DNA analysis indicated the presence of sulfate-reducing and denitrifying bacteria in the barrier and its surrounding soil. However, the activity of methanogens was found to be relatively low, presumably as a result of the competition by sulfate/metal-reducing bacteria and denitrifying bacteria because of the unlimited availability of sulfate and nitrate in the site groundwater. Results of this study provide evidence of a diverse microbial population within and in the vicinity of the iron barrier, although the important roles of microbial activity, either beneficially or detrimentally, on the longevity and enduring efficiency of the Fe0 barriers are yet to be evaluated.

A variety of contaminants (heavy metals, chemicals, insecticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorines, and radioactive isotopes) range across different spatial scales and concentrations on LANL land. This study is an example of a monitoring program over a large area with varying degree of contamination that is used to highlight locations of concern for future research. There were two locations where the flycatcher had a lower hatching success. The bluebirds at Sandia wetland, a location of concern for PCBs, had a thinner eggshell thickness index (RATCLIFFE) and the eggs were smaller than at other locations. The flycatcher had thinner eggshells than bluebirds, which could add to sensitivity to exposure to contaminants. There was no variation in clutch size or sex ratio between locations or areas closer to contaminant release sites for both species. Percent females in the clutch ranged from 0 to 100% in the WEBL and from 33 to 67% for ATFL.

JO - Environmetrics JF - Environmetrics Y1 - 2002/08// VL - 13 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 411 EP - 427 SN - 11804009 AB - The Hanford Site is home to 177 large, underground nuclear waste storage tanks. This article describes a screening study carried out in the mid 1990s that used the tank waste level measurements to assess the tanks for potential flammable gas hazards. At the time of the study, 25 of the 177 tanks were on the flammable gas watch list. The use of this monitoring data provided additional insight, resulting in operational changes on the Hanford site. The waste level measurements used in this study were made primarily to monitor the tanks for leaks and intrusions. Four measurement devices are widely used in these tanks. Three of these measure the level of the waste surface. The remaining device measures from within a well embedded in the waste, thereby monitoring the liquid level even if the liquid level is below a dry waste crust. The data from each of the four measurement devices were utilized in this investigation. The analytic method used for this screening was to look for an inverse correlation between waste level measurements and ambient atmospheric pressure. If the waste level in a tank decreases with an increase in ambient atmospheric pressure, then the compressibility may be attributed to gas trapped within the waste. In this article, this methodology is not used to estimate the volume of gas trapped in the waste. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The presence of the plasmid in the bacterial hosts elevated extracytoplasmic alkaline phosphatase production from 100- to 820-fold. The growth and survival of the plasmid-bearing hosts in sterilized soil slurries was comparable to parental control strains. In the absence of antibiotic selection, pJH123 was maintained in two of the three hosts (P. fluorescens F1 and P. veronii V1) during incubation in minimal medium. The effects of the genetically enhanced pseudomonads on the liberation of inorganic phosphate (PO43−) were determined in sterilized soil slurries following the addition of an organophosphorus compound, glycerol-3-phosphate. A significant accumulation of PO43− was measured in soil slurries amended with 10 mM glycerol-3-phosphate and any of the three phosphatase-enhanced pseudomonad isolates. In contrast, soil slurries containing unmodified parental strains did not exhibit significant PO43− accumulation. Two of the three enhanced phosphate-liberating strains released sufficient PO43− that cell-free supernatants from sterilized soil slurry incubations removed significant amounts of uranium (as much as 69%) from solution.

This paper employs von Neumann analyses to study the spatial semi-discretization of Galerkin meshfree methods using SCNI. Two model problems were presented with respect to the normalized phase speed and group speed for the wave equation, and normalized diffusivity for the heat equation. Both consistent and lumped mass (capacity) discretizations are considered in the study. The transient properties in the full discretization of the two model problems were also analyzed. The results show superior dispersion behavior in meshfree methods integrated by SCNI compared to the Gauss integration when consistent mass (capacity) matrix is employed in the discretization. For the lumped mass case, SCNI performance is comparable to that of the Gauss integration, but exhibits considerable reduction of computational time.

In essence, we examine the late time behavior of the line radiation at the wavelength of the Hα-lines and the O I triplet emitted from the laser-induced spark in CH4–air mixtures. Sparks were produced using a single-mode, Q-switched Nd-YAG laser. The laser produced a beam of 6 mm in diameter at the wavelength of 1064 nm and a pulse duration of 5.5 ns. For the equivalence ratio from 0.1 to 5.0, the radiation intensity ratio of the Hα-lines to the O I triplet increased linearly with the equivalence ratio. For the laser energy from 10 to 50 mJ it was independent of the laser energy when the laser energy was higher than 20 mJ. The technique, therefore, has a potential for measuring the fuel-to-air ratio of a combustible flow environment.

The distribution and oxidation state of arsenic (As) and selenium (Se) were also determined. The soil used in this study was formed from pyritic shale parent materials on the east side of the California Coast Range. Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microprobe (μ-XRF) was used to generate elemental distribution maps of soil thin sections. Using the elemental distribution maps and optical micrographs, distinct mineral aggregates of iron oxide and iron sulfate were identified throughout the top horizon of the soil. These aggregates range in size from 10 to 100 μm in diameter and can be found only a few micrometers apart. The As and Se concentrations in the iron oxide aggregates were 5–10 times the concentrations in the iron sulfate aggregates and the weathered shale matrix. This suggests that the As and Se become preferentially associated with iron oxides during the weathering process. Using a focused micron-sized beam, Fe, As, and Se X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data were collected from the sub-millimeter soil aggregates. The micro-extended X-ray absorption fine structure (μ-EXAFS) spectrum collected from the iron oxide aggregate revealed that its mineralogy was a combination of ferrihydrite (>50%) and goethite. The μ-EXAFS spectra from the iron sulfate region suggest that these aggregates contain jarosite. Using micro-X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (μ-XANES), oxidation states of the As and Se were determined. Arsenic was present in the iron oxide aggregate as As(V). Selenium was present in the soil as both Se(IV) and Se(VI), with a higher percentage of Se(VI) in the jarosite aggregate than the iron oxide aggregate. These results provide direct evidence of the distribution, oxidation states, and speciation of As and Se in the solid phase of an unaltered native soil. Information on the weathering and geochemistry of the pyritic materials, and the associated arsenic and selenium is useful for predicting the pedogenic processes of acid sulfate soils and the long-term fate of newly exposed pyritic materials (e.g., mine tailings and drained wetlands).

Volatile tracers may be strongly affected by partitioning between gas and liquid phases, and by exchanges between fractures and rock matrix. This paper presents a space-discretized treatment of tracer diffusion under multiphase conditions that is fully coupled with equilibrium phase partitioning. Our method is self-consistent and is applicable to any combination of gas and liquid phases in single and two-phase conditions, including the extreme case of diffusion across a sharp gas–water interface. It is shown that an uncoupled approach, in which diffusive fluxes in gas and liquid phases are evaluated separately and added, can lead to large errors. The coupled treatment of multiphase tracer diffusion has been implemented in the general-purpose geothermal reservoir simulator TOUGH2. Applications to strongly and weakly depleted zones at The Geysers vapor-dominated reservoir produce breakthrough curves (BTCs) whose features (timing, peak, tail) agree well with field observations.

We have compiled field measurements of biomass and associated environmental data for multiple study sites in major grassland types worldwide. Where sufficient data were available, we compared aboveground and total NPP estimated by six computational methods (algorithms) for 31 grassland sites. As has been found previously, NPP estimates were 2–5 times higher using methods which accounted for the dynamics of dead matter, compared with what is still the most commonly applied estimate of NPP (maximum peak live biomass). It is suggested that assumptions such as the use of peak biomass as an indicator of NPP in grasslands may apply only within certain subbiomes, e.g. temperate steppe grasslands. Additional data on belowground dynamics, or other reliable estimates of belowground productivity, are required if grasslands are to be fully appreciated for their role in the global carbon cycle.

Energy-resolved fragmentation efficiency curves (FECs) obtained using both activation techniques were modeled using RRKM/QET formalism. Comparison of rates of formation of fragment ions originating from C- and N-terminal dissociation of protonated tetraalanine as a function of collision energy demonstrates that threshold energies for these dissociation channels are identical and that entropic factors are very similar. For tetraalanine modeling of both SID and MCA-CID experimental results provides reliable values for dissociation thresholds for the principal dissociation channels. However, this is not the case for protonated trialanine, where C-terminal fragmentation is preferred entropically but has higher dissociation energy and a slower rate over the range of collision energies investigated. Dissociation thresholds for the formation of y ions extracted from MCA-CID data for trialanine were substantially higher than thresholds obtained from SID data. Because our modeling approach assumes instantaneous ion activation, this difference is attributed to the slow nature of MCA-CID that becomes apparent for competing reactions with a substantial difference between dissociation thresholds. In this case, fragmentation via a higher-energy channel competes with stepwise ion activation. Consequently, MCA-CID results in effective discrimination against higher activation energy fragmentation pathways. For the series di-, tri-, and tetraalanine the lowest energy dissociation channels have thermochemical thresholds of 2.11, 1.46 and 1.20 eV, respectively based on our SID results. This demonstrates that thermochemical stability decreases with increasing size of the peptide.

We use a thin layer of gold deposited on commercially available alumina supports to generate a layer on the surface that can be readily modified with thiols to control the hydrophobicity. Transport of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) was attained with thiol-modified gold-coated alumina membranes sealed with dodecane. The flux rates through these membranes are five times faster than control experiments through unmodified membranes and show complete selectivity. This provides strong evidence that the flux rates are high enough to be limited by simple diffusion through the alumina support. We have also demonstrated that it is possible to make ultra-thin gates with the alkyl chain itself serving as the hydrophobic barrier. With a 17 carbon chain thiol attached to the membrane in the absence of dodecane, quantitative transport is observed with the same high flux rates observed for the dodecane-treated membranes. Fixing the hydrophobic barrier to the surface should allow for more stable membranes.

Mo¨ssbauer spectra indicate that all of the glasses contain both Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions. The quadrupole splitting distribution fits of Mo¨ssbauer spectra show that Fe(II) ions occupy a single site whereas Fe(III) ions occupy two distinct sites in these glasses. When melted at higher temperatures or in reducing atmospheres, the Fe(II) fraction in the glass increases at the expense of Fe(III) ions at only one of the two sites they occupy. The pre-edge feature in the XAFS data suggests that the overall disorder in the near-neighbor environment of iron ions decreases with increasing Fe(II) fraction. The XAFS results also show that the average iron–oxygen coordination is in the 4–5 range indicating that iron ions have mixed tetrahedral–octahedral coordination.

Studies were made to determine the effect of W, Ta, and Cr composition on the tensile and Charpy properties of the Cr–W–V–Ta; steels with 5%, 7%, and 9% Cr with 2% or 3% W and 0%, 0.05%, or 0.10% Ta were examined. Boron has a long history of use in steels to improve properties, and the effect of boron was also examined.Regardless of the chromium concentration, the steels with 2% W and 0.05–0.1% Ta generally had a better combination of tensile and Charpy properties than steels with 3% W. Boron had a negative effect on properties for the 5% and 7% Cr steels, but had a positive effect on the 9% Cr steel. When the 5, 7, and 9Cr steels containing 2% W and 0.05% Ta were compared, the tensile and Charpy properties of the 5 and 9Cr steels were better than those of the 7Cr steel, and overall, the properties of the 5Cr steel were better than those of the 9Cr steel. Such information will be useful if the properties of the reduced-activation steels are to be optimized.

As part of the qualification process, experiments are being conducted on uranium-aluminide (UAlx) fuels to describe corrosion under conditions that could arise during permanent storage. Under the action of intermittent drips of well water at 90 °C, a thin silica-substituted hydrous aluminum oxide gel layer forms over the fuel surface. The exposed fuel oxidizes to produce hydrated aluminum and uranyl oxyhydroxide compounds. In accordance with theory and previous observations with UO2 fuels, the sequence of alteration products progressed from uranium oxides to uranyl oxyhydroxides such as dehydrated schoepite and becquerelite phases although at a rate that was much faster than for UO2 fuels. The release or leaching of uranium from the fuel was 0.97 mg U/m2/d at a pH of 8.4±0.8.

Fuel plates incorporating alloys with molybdenum content in the range of 4–10 wt% were tested. Two irradiation test vehicles were used to irradiate low-enrichment fuels to approximately 40 and 70 at.% 235U burnup in the advanced test reactor at fuel temperatures of approximately 65 °C. The fuel particles used to fabricate dispersion specimens for most of the test were produced by generating filings from a cast rod. In general, fuels with molybdenum contents of 6 wt% or more showed stable in-reactor fission gas behavior, exhibiting a distribution of small, stable gas bubbles. Fuel particle swelling was moderate and decreased with increasing alloy content. Fuel particles with a molybdenum content of 4 wt% performed poorly, exhibiting extensive fuel–matrix interaction and the growth of relatively large fission gas bubbles. Fuel particles with 4 or 6 wt% molybdenum reacted more rapidly with the aluminum matrix than those with higher-alloy content. Fuel particles produced by an atomization process were also included in the test to determine the effect of fuel particle morphology and microstructure on fuel performance for the U–10Mo composition. Both of the U–10Mo fuel particle types exhibited good irradiation performance, but showed visible differences in fission gas bubble nucleation and growth behavior.

A transition to a metastable crystalline phase was observed at an ion dose equivalent to 4 displacements per atom (dpa) at a depth in the thin foil specimen of 50 nm. The spinel was ultimately rendered amorphous at an ion dose equivalent to 35 dpa at 50 nm foil depth.

SN - 09212728 AB - Four sediment cores and twenty-five 14C ages from Ritterbush Pond in northern Vermont provide a detailed and continuous temporal record of Holocene lake and watershed dynamics. Using visual logs, carbon content, magnetic susceptibility, stable isotope signatures, and X-radiography, all measured at 1-cm scale, we identify and date discrete layers of terrestrially-derived sediment in the organic-rich, lacustrine gyttja. These inorganic layers range in thickness from <1 mm to >10 cm and range in grain size and sorting from homogeneous silt to graded sand. AMS radiocarbon ages both from macrofossils within the thickest layers, and gyttja bracketing these layers, provide the basis for correlation among the cores, the dating of 52 basin-wide sedimentation events, and the development of a detailed sedimentation chronology for the Holocene. Physical, chemical, and isotopic analyses suggest the inorganic layers are terrestrially derived and result from hydrologic events large enough to erode and transport sediment from the watershed into the pond. The temporal and spatial distribution of the inorganic layers suggests changing basin-wide sedimentation and thus erosion dynamics since deglaciation over 12,000 years ago. Specifically, for intervals lasting 400 to 1000 years, during the early (>8600 cal yBP), middle (6400 to 6800 cal yBP) and late Holocene (1800 to 2600 cal yBP), the Ritterbush Pond watershed eroded more rapidly than at other times and terrestrially derived material poured into the pond. Analysis of Ritterbush Pond sediments demonstrates the potential for North American lakes to preserve a record of drainage basin dynamics.

T1 - Increased proteome coverage for quantitative peptide abundance measurements based upon high performance separations and DREAMS FTICR mass spectrometry JO - Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry JF - Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry Y1 - 2002/08// VL - 13 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 954 SN - 10440305 AB - A primary challenge in proteome measurements is to be able to detect, identify, and quantify the extremely complex mixtures of proteins. The relative abundances of interest span at least six orders of magnitude for mammalian proteomes, and this constitutes an intractable challenge for high throughput proteome studies. We have recently described a new approach, Dynamic Range Enhancement Applied to Mass Spectrometry (DREAMS), which is based upon the selective ejection of the most abundant species to expand the dynamic range of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonanace (FTICR) measurements. The basis of our approach is on-the-fly data-dependent selective ejection of highly abundant species, followed by prolonged accumulation of remaining low-abundance species in a quadrupole external to the FTICR ion trap. Here we report the initial implementation of this approach with high efficiency capillary reverse phase LC separations and high magnetic field electrospray ionization FTICR mass spectrometry for obtaining enhanced coverage in quantitative measurements for mammalian proteomes. We describe the analysis of a sample derived from a tryptic digest of proteins from mouse B16 cells cultured in both natural isotopic abundance and 15N-labeled media. The FTICR mass spectrometric analysis allows the assignment of peptide pairs (corresponding to the two distinctive versions of each peptide), and thus provides the basis for quantiative measurements when one of the two proteomes in the mixture is perturbed or altered in some fashion. We show that implementation of the DREAMS approach allows assignment of approximately 80% more peptide pairs, thus providing quantitative information for approximately 18,000 peptide pairs in a single analysis.

Regional gases from sites within a 50-km radius beyond Valles caldera are relatively enriched in CO2 and He, but depleted in H2S compared to Valles gases. Regional gases have R/Ra values ≤1.2 due to more interaction with the crust and/or less contribution from the mantle. Carbon sources for regional CO2 are varied. During 1982–1998, repeat analyses of gases from intracaldera sites at Sulphur Springs showed relatively constant CH4, H2, and H2S contents. The only exception was gas from Footbath Spring (1987–1993), which experienced increases in these three components during drilling and testing of scientific wells VC-2a and VC-2b. Present-day Valles gases contain substantially less N2 than fluid inclusion gases trapped in deep, early-stage, post-caldera vein minerals. This suggests that the long-lived Valles hydrothermal system (ca. 1 Myr) has depleted subsurface Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of nitrogen. When compared with gases from many other geothermal systems, Valles caldera gases are relatively enriched in He but depleted in CH4, N2 and Ar. In this respect, Valles gases resemble end-member hydrothermal and magmatic gases discharged at hot spots (Galapagos, Kilauea, and Yellowstone).

While evaluating this system off the Pacific coast of Baja California, we discovered Ba depletion greater than 60% in surface waters over tens of kilometers. Observed Ba abundance is among the lowest reported in any ocean water. No corresponding depletion was seen in Sr, which strongly suggests that acantharians are not the primary source of biogenic Ba in these surface waters.

This method records variations in the wavelength dependence of the neutron beam transmission due to changes in Bragg diffraction in a test specimen. Since the beam transmission depends on diffraction scattering over 4π radians, the technique is more effective in detecting change in diffraction than a measurement of scattering into a detector subtending a limited solid angle. Therefore, the Bragg-edge transmission method permits kinetic study of chemical reactions and phase transformations with a better time resolution than can be achieved with powder diffraction. The advantages of this method compared with other techniques that yield kinetics information from solid-state reactions or phase transformations (e.g. thermogravimetry, dilatometry and metallography) include sensitivity to phase and crystallographic structure. In this study, we report volume fraction evolution with temporal resolution as low as 30 s. To obtain information about the rate by controlling process during the reaction, the diffraction data were analyzed using the traditional thermogravimetric approach and by employing a number of kinetics models. The analysis suggests that the reaction rate is largely controlled by diffusion at 1100 °C, but is influenced more by an interface reaction at 1400 °C.

The experimental work involved real-time mapping of phases in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) using a synchrotron-based spatially resolved X-ray diffraction (SRXRD) technique and post weld microstructural characterization of the fusion zone (FZ). A three-dimensional heat transfer and fluid flow model was used to calculate the temperature and velocity fields, thermal cycles, and the geometry of the FZ and the HAZ. The experimental SRXRD phase map and the computed thermal cycles were used to determine the kinetic parameters in the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami (JMA) equation for the ferrite to austenite transformation during heating in the HAZ. Apart from providing a quantitative expression for the kinetics of this transformation, the results are consistent with a decreasing nucleation rate of austenite from a ferrite matrix with time. In the FZ, the volume fractions of microconstituents were calculated using an existing phase transformation model and the computed thermal cycles. Good agreement was found between the calculated and experimental volume fractions of allotriomorphic and Widmanstatten ferrites in the FZ. The results indicate significant promise for understanding microstructure evolution during GTA welding of AISI 1005 steel by a combination of real time phase mapping and modeling.

The field began almost as an afterthought among those engaged in integrated circuit production. These researchers recognized early on that the same processes used in the production of circuits could be re-ordered to make very small mechanical devices. The huge investment made by the electronics community in silicon technologies — and the relative ease with which these techniques could be adapted to device production — made them an obvious resource for early MEMS designers. It is no accident that polycrystalline silicon is the most commonly used structural material.But with the continued expansion of MEMS devices into new areas of application, the limitations of silicon (Si) usefulness became clear. The need to combine electronics and MEMS on the same chip (iMEMS), improve the wear characteristics of moving parts, and achieve a greater mass of moving parts in MEMS inertial sensors have led researchers away from a ‘one-material-fits-all’ approach. Instead the search is on for materials that more directly serve specific ends. The need for biocompatibility in the emerging field of bio-MEMS has added urgency to the quest for new materials, since Si-based materials cannot meet every bio-MEMS need.

Our results support a phylogenetic hypothesis that depicts a monophyletic family Rhacophoridae. In this family, the Malagasy genera Aglyptodactylus, Boophis, Mantella, and Mantidactylus form a well-supported sister clade to all other rhacophorid genera, and Mantella is the sister taxon to Mantidactylus. Within the Asian/African genera, the genus Buergeria forms a well-supported clade of four species. The genera, except for Chirixalus, are generally monophyletic. An exception to this is that Polypedates dennysii clusters with species of Rhacophorus, suggesting that the taxonomy of the rhacophorids should be revised to reflect this relationship. Chirixalus is not monophyletic. Unexpectedly, there is strong support for Chirixalus doriae from Southeast Asia forming a clade with species of the African genus Chiromantis, suggesting that Chiromantis dispersed to Africa from Asia. Also, there is strong support for the sister taxon relationship of Chirixalus eiffingeri and Chirixalus idiootocus apart from other congeners.

We designed the present study to investigate the effect of handling stress on catecholaminergic responsivity following an acute methylphenidate (MP, Ritalin) challenge in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) levels were simultaneously measured in 15-min samples of PFC dialysate using HPLC coupled with electrochemical detection. Sprague-Dawley rats were handled for 15 min, which produced an increase from basal extracellular DA and NE levels. Handling stress attenuates the DA response when administered 2 h prior to IP MP, whereas handling stress enhances the DA response when administered simultaneously with IG MP. These findings suggest that persistent alterations in mesocorticolimbic DA-ergic activity are induced by a short exposure to restraint stress as evidenced by the altered response to MP challenge.

Stem respiration is an important component of the carbon budget of forest stands that could be perturbed by CO 2 enrichment of the atmosphere. • We measured stem respiration in a free-air CO 2 enrichment (FACE) experiment in a 15-yr-old sweetgum ( Liquidambar styraciflua ) plantation. The trees were exposed to ambient or 1.4× ambient [CO 2 ]. Stem respiration of 12 trees in ambient [CO 2 ] and 12 trees in CO 2 -enriched plots was continuously monitored over a period of 1 year. • CO2 enrichment caused a 23% increase in annual growth respiration ( R g ) and a 48% increase in maintenance respiration ( R m ). During a 4-d period when CO 2 fumigation was turned off, both respiration and stem sucrose concentrations declined in the CO 2 -enriched trees . Concentrations of other soluble sugars did not change. • We conclude that elevated [CO 2 ] caused stem respiration to increase and that the increase was driven by increased substrate supply from leaves. We suggest that both R g and R m rate responses may result from changes in growth rates and live to dead tissue ratios rather than from mechanistic alterations of the respiratory processes.

These simple, versatile, and highly efficient detectors provide a low bias and easily understood hardware (on-line) vertex trigger. This trigger is ready for the data-acquisition system in about 650 ns. The position resolution of the vertex distribution found by the Cherenkov counters is approx. 4 cm and is very stable as function of the centrality of the collisions. The general characteristics of the Cherenkov counters, their design parameters, and performance are presented, along with the implementation of the hardware vertex trigger used for PHOBOS during the 2001 run.

Prototypes of these 150 μm square pixels bump bonded to DMILL readout chips were tested at CERN in a pion beam. A silicon telescope consisting of 8 planes of silicon strips was used to interpolate tracks to the position of the pixel detector. Data were taken with the beam at different angles of incidence relative to the pixel sensors. Position resolutions between 10 and 20 μm, depending on the hit position, were observed using charge sharing for the final configuration with unirradiated detectors. The observed resolution was as expected.

However, if the uncertainties in these parameters are significant (large errors), conventional means of representing and manipulating the associated variables can lead to erroneous results. Instead, all analyses involving them must be conducted in a probabilistic framework. Several issues must be considered: First, non-linear functional relations between primary and derived variables may lead to significant “error amplification” (severe conditions). Second, the commonly used normal (Gaussian) probability distribution must be replaced by a more appropriate function that avoids the occurrence of negative sampling results. Third, both primary random variables and those derived through well-defined functions must be dealt with entirely in terms of their probability distributions. Parameter “values” and “errors” should be interpreted as specific moments of these probability distributions. Fourth, there are pragmatic reasons for seeking convenient analytical formulas to approximate the “true” probability distributions of derived parameters generated by Monte Carlo simulation. This paper discusses each of these issues and illustrates the main concepts with realistic examples involving radioactivity decay and nuclear astrophysics.

In simple situations the fraction of neutrons between 9.4 (the upper energy of T+T neutrons) and 13 MeV (below the Doppler broadened 14.1 MeV peak) is proportional to the 〈ρr〉 at the time of neutron production. This ratio does not depend upon the temperature of the fuel, as does the number of reaction-in-flight neutrons. The ratio of neutrons elastically scattered at a specific energy (e.g. 13 MeV) to the total number of neutrons can be measured along different lines of sight. The ratio of two perpendicular measurements provides a quantitative measure of 〈ρr〉 asymmetry. A detector can be placed inside the target chamber to measure these low-energy neutrons. If it is close enough to the target that measurements are made before the 14 MeV neutrons reach the chamber wall, gamma rays can be a negligible background. Calculated gamma ray and scattered neutron backgrounds from a cryogenic target support or a typical diagnostic instrument also do not calculate to pose a problem. A GaAs detector 2.5 m from the target in the NIF chamber appears to have enough sensitivity and sufficiently rapid time response to make this measurement, but measurement of a weak signal (∼1/1000) after a strong 14 MeV pulse needs to be tested.

In most instances, adsorption was adequately described by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The adsorption results were compared in two ways: (1) by the metallating ion, where predicted trends of the relative degree of adsorption are based on Buchler stability indices, and (2) by the structural type, where predicted trends of the relative degree of adsorption are based on the number and type of substituent groups and their corresponding steric and functional characteristics. The implications of macrocycle shape (planar, ruffle, and wave) are also discussed. In general, sorption affinity based on metallating ion followed the order: VO(II)≈Ni(II)〈sa〉, increases with their average distance, 〈x〉, from the outlet as 〈sa〉≈〈x〉1.1. As a result, larger avalanches will tend to occur at the end of longer fingers causing preferential growth of the long fingers at the expense of the shorter fingers.

The reaction models predator–prey dynamics involving two fields. The diffusive part is nonlinear in the sense that the diffusion coefficient, instead of being a constant as in the well-studied case, depends on one of the fields. A key element of the model is a cross-diffusion term according to which the flux of one of the fields is driven by gradients of the other field. The original motivation of the model was the study of the turbulence–shear flow interaction in plasmas. The model also bears some similarities with models used in the study of spatial segregation of interacting biological species. The system has three nontrivial fixed points, and a study of traveling fronts solutions joining these states is presented. Depending on the stability properties of the fixed points, the fronts are uniform or have spatial structure. In the latter case, a cross-diffusion-driven pattern-forming (k≢0) instability leads to segregation in the wake of the front. The segregated state consists of layered structures. A Ginzburg–Landau amplitude equation is used to describe the dynamics near marginal stability.

Research areas of growth pertaining to MR microscopy studies are focused on (1) phenotyping of genetically engineered mice models of human neurological diseases and (2) rodent brain atlases. MR microscopy can be performed in vitro on tissue specimens, ex vivo on brain slice preparations and in vivo (typically on rodents). Like most new imaging technologies, MR microscopy is technologically demanding and requires broad expertise. Uniform guidelines or “standards” of a given MR microscopy experiment are non-existent. The main focus therefore of this review will be on biological applications of MR microscopy and the experimental requirements. We also take a critical look at the biological information that small animal (rodent) MR imaging has provided in neuroscience research.

Recombinant human IL-22 (hIL-22) was found to activate the signal transducers and activators of transcription factors 1 and 3 as well as acute phase reactants in several hepatoma cell lines, suggesting its involvement in the inflammatory response. The crystallographic structure of recombinant hIL-22 has been solved at 2.0 A˚ resolution using the SIRAS method. Contrary to IL-10, the hIL-22 dimer does not present an interpenetration of the secondary-structure elements belonging to the two distinct polypeptide chains but results from interface interactions between monomers. Structural differences between these two cytokines, revealed by the crystallographic studies, clearly indicate that, while a homodimer of IL-10 is required for signaling, hIL-22 most probably interacts with its receptor as a monomer.

The AMPSA-additive dependent resistivity and thermopower are reported for free-standing PANI:AMPSAx (Mw=200,000 g mol−1) films (x=0.1–0.5) in the temperature range from 2 to 325 K. The low-temperature data indicate that these samples are just on the insulating side of a disorder-induced metal–insulator (M–I) transition (dρ/dT<0), and that thermal motion at elevated temperatures is sufficient to produce a metallic state (dρ/dT>0) at room temperature. Transport occurs via variable-range hopping (VRH) for temperatures below 200 K, with hopping parameters that are a strong function of x; increased AMPSA concentration decreases the resistivity and moves the samples towards the M–I phase boundary. There is a minimum in the resistivity for all samples at a temperature Tmin that is also doping dependent. Stretch orientation of PANI:AMPSA0.5 films, prepared with higher molecular weight PANI (Mw=300,000 g mol−1), along the resistivity measurement direction decreases the room-temperature resistivity at the expense of a more insulating low-temperature state. The Tmin values of both stretched and unstretched PANI:AMPSA0.5 films are pushed below 200 K, which reflects reduced disorder in film processed with higher molecular weight polyaniline. These results reflect an evolution in the underlying inhomogeneous mesoscopic disorder present in doped conducting polymers.

The usual procedure is to measure the strain via lattice or physical curvature analysis and then to calculate the stress using continuum mechanics models. X-ray and laser techniques measure different physical quantities. In the former case, the curvature of crystal lattice planes is assessed while in the latter situation the curvature of physical surface of the sample is measured. In principle, these two methods should yield the same results. The current experiments use the latest two-dimensional X-ray double crystal diffraction topography (DCDT) and a laser scanning technique (LST) to determine the quantities of interest for a variety of thin films deposited on Si (1 0 0) wafers. The measurements by the two techniques were performed on the same samples, at the same time, under exactly identical conditions. For specimens where the residual stresses produce large curvatures of both types (lattice curvature and surface curvature), the results for DCDT and LST agree within the experimental error. When small to moderate curvatures are present, the two methods deviate to varying degrees. This deviation is of special significance in determining residual stress in nanometer-thickness films. Nevertheless, DCDT and LST generally yield similar results on differential curvatures, i.e. the stress induced curvature differentials. When proper consideration is taken for the inherent limits of each technique, both DCDT and LST can be used as valid procedures for stress measurement in thin film–substrate systems.

A hallmark response observed in mice exposed to carcinogenic doses of DCA is an accumulation of hepatic glycogen content. To distinguish whether the in vivo glycogenic effect of DCA was dependent on insulin and insulin signaling proteins, experiments were conducted in isolated hepatocytes where insulin concentrations could be controlled. In hepatocytes isolated from male B6C3F1 mice, DCA increased glycogen levels in a dose-related manner, independently of insulin. The accumulation of hepatocellular glycogen induced by DCA was not the result of decreased glycogenolysis, since DCA had no effect on the rate of glucagon-stimulated glycogen breakdown. Glycogen accumulation caused by DCA treatment was not hindered by inhibitors of extracellular-regulated protein kinase kinase (Erk1/2 kinase or MEK) or p70 kDa S6 protein kinase (p70S6K), but was completely blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin. Similarly, insulin-stimulated glycogen deposition was not influenced by the Erk1/2 kinase inhibitor, PD098509, or the p70S6K inhibitor, rapamycin. Unlike DCA-stimulated glycogen deposition, PI3K-inhibition only partially blocked the glycogenic effect of insulin. DCA did not cause phosphorylation of the downstream PI3K target protein, protein kinase B (PKB/Akt). The phosphorylation of PKB/Akt did not correlate to insulin-stimulated glycogenesis either. Similar to insulin, DCA in the medium decreased IR expression in isolated hepatocytes. The results indicate DCA increases hepatocellular glycogen accumulation through a PI3K-dependent mechanism that does not involve PKB/Akt and is, at least in part, different from the classical insulin-stimulated glycogenesis pathway. Somewhat surprisingly, insulin-stimulated glycogenesis also appears not to involve PKB/Akt in isolated murine hepatocytes.

Recent findings indicate that interfacial surface area controls the relative degree of transmitted light in laboratory systems containing translucent porous media. Equations are derived to estimate the specific gas-liquid interfacial area from the area under the primary-drainage branch of the Seff- h characteristic curve as parameterized using common water retention functions. The total area under the curve provides the maximum available specific gas-liquid interfacial area available at residual saturation, which can be incorporated into the relationship to determine the gas-liquid interfacial area at intermediate degrees of saturation via light transmission. Experimental results, and analysis of external data sets, support these findings. Closed-form relationships are presented as enhancements to a recent method for determination of liquid saturations above residual using light transmission. A physically based model is developed and tested for the quantification of liquid contents below residual saturation.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/08// VL - 38 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 16-1 EP - 16-7 SN - 00431397 AB - Unsaturated water flux densities are needed to quantify water and contaminant transfer within the vadose zone. However, water flux densities are seldom measured directly and often are predicted with uncertainties of an order or magnitude or more. A water fluxmeter was designed, constructed, and tested to directly measure drainage fluxes in field soils. The fluxmeter was designed to minimize divergence. It concentrates flow into a narrow sensing region filled with a fiberglass wick. The wick applies suction, proportional to its length, and passively drains the meter. The meter can be installed in an augured borehole at almost any depth below the root zone. Water flux through the meter is measured with a self-calibrating tipping bucket, with a sensitivity of ∼4 mL tip−1. For our meter this is equivalent to detection limit of ∼0.1 mm. Passive-wick devices previously have not properly corrected for flow divergence. Laboratory measurements supported predictions of a two-dimensional (2-D) numerical model, which showed that control of the collector height H and knowledge of soil hydraulic properties are required for improving divergence control, particularly at fluxes below 1000 mm yr−1. The water fluxmeter is simple in concept, is inexpensive, and has the capability of providing continuous and reliable monitoring of unsaturated water fluxes ranging from less than 1 mm yr−1 to more than 1000 mm yr−1.

The general form of the dispersion tensor provides for distinct vertical and horizontal longitudinal dispersivity values. Transverse dispersion is isotropic for flow parallel to the symmetry axis and anisotropic for flow perpendicular to the symmetry axis with distinct horizontal and vertical transverse dispersivities. The new form of the dispersion tensor is applied to several examples involving axisymmetric media utilizing particle tracking techniques and compared to the tensor proposed by Burnett and Frind [1987]. It is demonstrated that for the case of spatially variable flow the drift term ∇ · (ϕ D)/ϕ must generally be included in the particle tracking algorithm to obtain accurate results.

Composite porous media consist of disjoint blocks of permeable materials, each block comprising a single material type. Within a composite medium, hydraulic conductivity can be represented through a pair of random processes: (1) a boundary process that determines block arrangement and extent and (2) a stationary process that defines conductivity within a given block. We obtain second-order statistics for hydraulic conductivity in the composite model and then contrast them with statistics obtained from a standard univariate model that ignores the boundary process and treats a composite medium as if it were statistically homogeneous. Next, we develop perturbation expansions for the first two moments of head and contrast them with expansions based on the homogeneous approximation. In most cases the bivariate model leads to much sharper perturbation approximations than does the usual model of flow through an undifferentiated material when both are applied to highly heterogeneous media. We make this statement precise. We illustrate the composite model with examples of one-dimensional flows which are interesting in their own right and which allow us to compare the accuracy of perturbation approximations of head statistics to exact analytical solutions. We also show the boundary process of our bivariate model is equivalent to the indicator functions often used to represent composite media in Monte Carlo simulations.

Rivers with point sources for 129I in their watersheds are drastically affected, while all rivers sampled show evidence for atmospherically transported 129I from the world's major nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. Varying mixtures of oceanic cyclic salt and soil-derived iodine account for the observed spatial variation in iodine concentrations. A comparison of 129I concentrations in river and rainwater reveals concentration effects due to evapotranspiration.

In the presence of leakage the mean flow varies in space and the fluctuations of the flow become nonstationary spatially. Such a situation calls for a nonstationary stochastic approach since the classical stationary stochastic approaches are no longer appropriate. We make use of a nonstationary spectral method to account for such nonstationarities in finite semiconfined aquifers. Analytical expressions are obtained for head and specific discharge covariances that account for the spatial variability in the mean flow but neglect the contributions of the finite boundaries. Closed-form analytical expressions for the variances of hydraulic head and specific discharge are derived. The statistical structures of the head and specific discharge fields are investigated in terms of the leakage factor and the spatial structure of hydraulic conductivity field. Results based on the nonstationary approach show that the stationary assumption is inappropriate even for a small leakage.

In the mutant lysozyme, a surface aspartate residue has been replaced with a hydrophobic phenylalanine residue. The protein–protein interactions of D101F lysozyme are more attractive than those of native lysozyme for all conditions studied. The salt-induced attraction is correlated with a solvation potential of mean force given by the work required to desolvate the part of the protein surfaces that is buried by the protein–protein interaction. This work is proportional to the aqueous surface-tension increment of the salt and the fractional non-polar surface coverage of the protein. Experimental measurements of osmotic second virial coefficients validate a proposed potential of mean force that ascribes the salt-induced attraction between protein molecules to an enhancement of the hydrophobic attraction. This model provides a first approximation for predicting the protein–protein potential of mean force in concentrated aqueous electrolyte solutions; this potential is useful for determining solution conditions favorable for protein crystallization.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2002/08/02/Aug2002 Supplement VL - 83 M3 - Article SP - S22 EP - S26 SN - 00179078 AB - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has recently implemented a series of strategic initiatives to address long-term radiological surveillance needs at former U.S. test sites in the Marshall Islands. The plan is to engage local atoll communities in developing shared responsibilities for implementing radiation protection programs for resettled and resettling populations. As part of this new initiative, DOE agreed to design and construct a radiological laboratory on Enewetak Island, and help develop the necessary local resources to maintain and operate the facility. This cooperative effort was formalized in August 2000 between the DOE, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Enewetak/Ujelang Local Atoll Government (EULGOV). The laboratory facility was completed in May 2001. The laboratory incorporates both a permanent whole body counting system to assess internal exposures to 137Cs, and clean living space for people providing 24-h void urine samples. DOE continues to provide on-going technical assistance, training, and data quality review while EULGOV provides manpower and infrastructure development to sustain facility operations on a full-time basis. This paper will detail the special construction, transportation and installation issues in establishing a whole body counting facility in an isolated, harsh environmental setting.

On the theory front, the focus has recently shifted. The theory of non-linear, non-ideal chromatography has given rise to numerous models whose advantages, disadvantages and ranges of application are now well understood. Interest now resides in investigating the equilibrium thermodynamics of complex new systems, in the study of the kinetics of mass transfers in conventional chromatographic systems, and in the application of the various models of chromatography to optimize the experimental conditions. Progress in computer technology allows the use of sophisticated models, provided their parameters can be measured. This allows the detailed investigation of separations for which the mass transfer kinetics is slow such as chiral separations, the purification of basic compounds, and the extraction of recombinant proteins. On the applied front, in addition to numerous incremental improvements in reliability and economic performance, a few essential new features should be noted, i.e. the availability of instruments for simulated moving bed separations at the scale needed for preparative chiral separations, the use of expanded beds for the extraction of recombinant proteins from fermentation broths, and the attention given to improvements in the performance of packed beds. A survey of the literature dealing with practical applications and recent meetings shows that preparative chromatography is becoming a well established separation and purification method in the pharmaceutical industry.

T1 - DNA Adducts from a Tumorigenic Metabolite of Benzo[a]pyrene Block Human RNA Polymerase II Elongation in a Sequence- and Stereochemistry-dependent Manner JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2002/08/02/ VL - 321 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 29 SN - 00222836 AB - Many carcinogens exert their cancer-causing effects by reacting with DNA either directly or following metabolic activation, resulting in covalently linked combination molecules known as carcinogen-DNA adducts. The presence of such lesions in the genome increases the error frequency of the replication machinery, causing mutations that contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer. Cellular DNA repair pathways remove carcinogen adducts from DNA, thus averting the mutagenic potential of many DNA lesions by reducing their presence in the genome. Bulky DNA adducts, like those derived from a number of activated environmental carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are primarily repaired by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Transcription-coupled NER (TC-NER) preferentially removes lesions from the transcribed strand of actively expressed genes, and RNA polymerase II stalled at the lesion quite possibly initiates the pathway. Among the bulky DNA adducts that are subject to TC-NER are those resulting from the reaction of the metabolically activated PAH benzo[a]pyrene (BP) with DNA. The P450 mixed-function oxygenases convert BP into a number of reactive intermediates, including tumorigenic (+)- and non-tumorigenic (−)-anti-benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE) that react with DNA via trans epoxide opening to form (+)-trans-anti-[BP]-N2-dG ((+)-ta[BP]G) and (−)-trans-anti-[BP]-N2-dG ((−)-ta[BP]G), respectively. To test the effect of these lesions on RNA synthesis, in vitro transcription assays using human nuclear extracts were performed with DNA templates containing an RNAPII promoter and a stereochemically pure (+)- or (−)-ta[BP]G adduct on the transcribed or non-transcribed strand. Transcription past (+)- or (−)-ta[BP]G adducts was investigated in the same sequence context to examine stereochemical effects. The (+)-ta[BP]G adduct was investigated in two different local sequence contexts to determine if the surrounding bases influence the adduct''s ability to block transcription. These experiments revealed that (+)- and (−)-ta[BP]G adducts on the transcribed strand of the DNA template block RNAPII in a sequence and stereochemistry-dependent manner; however, adducts on the non-transcribed strand do not block elongation significantly but may increase pausing at innate pause sites. In order to elucidate biologically influential differences between the (+)- and (−)-ta[BP]G structures, the DUPLEX program was used to carry out potential energy minimization searches at model transcription junctions. The lowest-energy minimum for the (+)-ta[BP]G adduct gives a structure in which the benzo[a]pyrenyl ring system resides in the minor groove of the heteroduplex region. In contrast, the lowest-energy minimum for a (−)-ta[BP]G adduct shows an orientation in which the benzo[a]pyrenyl group adopts a carcinogen/base-stacked conformation. These conformational preferences may contribute to the differential treatment of (+)- and (−)-ta[BP]G adducts by human RNAPII. In addition, while previous experiments showed that BPDE adducts cause T7RNAP to produce a ladder of truncated transcripts, RNAPII is blocked entirely at only one or two positions by the (+)- and (−)-ta[BP]G adducts, depending on sequence context. It is likely that these differences between the behaviors of T7RNAP and human RNAPII are a result of the structural characteristics of the enzymes'' active sites, a hypothesis that is explored in light of their known crystal structures.

This investigation centers around the potential use of (La,Sr)TiO3 as a conductive buffer layer for subsequent growth of high temperature superconducting films for coated conductors. Epitaxy of LaTiO3 on Ni is achieved using pulsed-laser deposition. Excellent in-plane and out-of-plane alignment is confirmed via X-ray diffraction. For undoped LaTiO3 films, the oxide/metal interface is not stable against substrate oxidation, reflective of the propensity of LaTiO3 to accommodate excess oxygen in the lattice. Future work will focus on Sr-doped LaTiO3 films as this should alleviate these limitations.

Buffer films were subsequently deposited on these template films, and YBCO films were finally deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Crystal textures of the YBCO films were examined by X-ray pole figure, φ- and ω-scans analysis. Good in-plane and out-of-plane textures were observed, with MgO(0 0 2) φ-scan full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of 10.0° and ω-scan FWHM of 5.5°, for a film deposited with an incline angle of 55°. YBCO films were epitaxially grown on ISD MgO-buffered Hastelloy C276 substrates by PLD. Tc of 90 K with sharp transition and transport Jc of 1.4×105 A/cm2 were obtained on a 0.5-μm-thick YBCO film at 77 K in zero field.

Mass density measurements and microstructural observations of the oxide core show that OP processing densified the core, achieving up to 95±1% of the theoretical density. Our first runs in the flow OP system yielded Jc as high as 41 kA/cm2 (0 T, 77 K), which is 89% of Jc in a fully processed tape with an optimized conventional heat treatment.

The device makes use of a coil type condenser inside the experiment dewar, which is fed by LHe. Ne-gas entering the dewar at room temperature, liquefies on the coil windings and drips to the bottom of the dewar, where the experiment is located. He-gas and Ne-gas are recovered. Approximately 1.5 l of LNe was condensed into the dewar in about 1 h after precooling of the dewar.

Strain is applied at the desired temperature inside a helium flow cryostat. Cracks form transverse to the current carrying direction of the filaments. Before the tape breaks entirely, all filaments have formed a large number of transverse cracks, spaced with an average crack distance of 200 μm. The crack formation is compared with the degradation of the critical current as a function of the applied strain. The critical current degrades already before the first crack is observed. This is explained by the limited number of filaments visible in the experiment.

The results were modeled by describing the current in the tape as two parallel current paths. The critical current density of one path is limited by weak links and that of the other path by intragranular flux pinning. The temperature dependence of the parameters used in the model indicates that the weak link contribution vanishes at a temperature of 86 K. This is an indication that the weak link behavior is dominated by a remnant Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox phase. At higher temperatures the critical current density of the tape is limited by intragranular pinning.

Parameters of Ca diffusion in YBCO (diffusion coefficients, activation energy, etc.) as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure were determined by depth profiling SIMS. Fast Ca diffusion along the grain boundaries was observed by FIB and SIMS. The effect of Ca doping on Tc and Jc was studied by VSM. Ca distribution in the samples, induced by preferential diffusion along the grain boundaries, did not appear to change superconducting properties within the grains but showed increased Jc across the grain boundaries.

Two different starting mixtures of REBa2Cu3O7 superconducting powders and insulating Y2BaCuO5 phase were used. On one hand RE is a natural mixture of heavy rare earth elements (Y, Yb, Lu, Er, Dy, Tm, Ho) extracted from the Brazilian mineral “Xenotime”, and on the other hand, RE is thulium. In both cases melt textured REBa2Cu3O7/RE′2BaCuO5 composites have been obtained where RE and RE are different mixtures of heavy rare earth/yttrium and Tm/yttrium.The composition analysis shows different areas within the RE′2BaCuO5 as a consequence of an inhomogeneous RE distribution, due to the differential solubility of each rare earth in the high temperature semisolid state. During the crystallization process a profound inversion of the rare earth composition between the superconducting matrix and the insulating precipitates occurs. Yttrium is selectively located in the 123 matrix and RE in the 211 particles. Heavy RE ions can substitute yttrium in MTG REBCO without degradation of the superconducting properties. A model for the crystallization process is proposed.

Preliminary results on films grown in situ by a high rate magnetron sputtering technique from stoichiometric MgB2 and Mg targets are also reported. Microwave measurements have been carried out employing a dielectrically loaded niobium superconducting cavity operating at 19.8 GHz and 4 K. The study shows that the electrodynamic response of MgB2 films is presently dominated by extrinsic sources of dissipation, appearing already at low microwave power, likely to be ascribed to the presence of grain boundaries and normal inclusions in the samples.

The anode-supported bilayer is brittle for temperatures <1100 °C, but exhibits plasticity for higher temperatures. The plasticity is controlled by the Ni phase. Therefore, steady-state creep may limit the operational stress-temperature range.

Ba2In2O5 has a Brownmillerite-type crystal structure from room temperature to 900 °C, consisting of an orthorhombic unit cell with lattice parameters 6.0864(3)×16.7903(7)×5.9697(3) A˚ and Icmm (74) space group symmetry. At 900 °C, oxygen vacancies begin to disorder. By 925 °C, barium indate crystallizes in a tetragonal, 6.0348(4)×17.0688(22) A˚, unit cell with I4cm (108) space group symmetry. This oxygen vacancy order–disorder transition is associated with an evolution to fast oxide-ion conduction. At 1040 °C, Ba2In2O5 becomes a cubic oxygen-deficient perovskite, 4.2743(1) A˚, in the Pm3m space group. At 1080 °C, Ba2In2O5 begins to decompose.

Also, a comparison of the losses was made in single stacks with and without paper insulation between the tapes in the stacks while the heights of the stacks were kept the same. These results were qualitatively explained by considering the relative ease of the magnetic flux penetration into the tapes in the stacks.

Beryllium is responsible for a debilitating and potentially fatal lung disease, chronic beryllium disease (CBD) resulting from inhalation of beryllium particles. The US Code of Federal Register (CFR), 10 CFR 850, has established a limit of 0.2 μg beryllium/100 cm2 as the maximum amount of beryllium allowable on surfaces to be released from beryllium work areas in Department of Energy (DOE) facilities. The analytical technique described herein reduces the time and cost of detecting beryllium on laboratory working surfaces substantially. The technique provides a positive colorimetric response to the presence of beryllium on a 30.5 cm×30.5 cm (1 ft2) surface at a minimum detection of 0.2 μg/100 cm2. The method has been validated to provide positive results for beryllium in the presence of excess iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, nickel, chromium and lead at concentrations 100 times that of beryllium and aluminum and uranium (UO22+) at lesser concentrations. The colorimetric detection technique has also been validated to effectively detect solid forms of beryllium including Be(OH)2, BeCl2, BeSO4, beryllium metal and BeO.

The new reagent, “L-Gel”, consists of an aqueous solution of a mild commercial oxidizer, Oxone™, together with a commercial fumed silica gelling agent, Cab-O-Sil EH-5. L-Gel is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, relatively non-corrosive, maximizes contact time because of its thixotropic nature, clings to walls and ceilings, and does not harm carpets or painted surfaces. The new reagent also addresses the most demanding requirements for decontamination in the civilian sector, including availability, low maintenance, ease of application and deployment by a variety of dispersal mechanisms, minimal training and acceptable expense. Experiments to test the effectiveness of L-Gel were conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and independently at four other locations. L-Gel was tested against all classes of chemical warfare agents and against various biological warfare agent surrogates, including spore-forming bacteria and non-virulent strains of real biological agents. Testing showed that L-Gel is as effective against chemical agents and biological materials, including spores, as the best military decontaminants.

Among them, the modified linearity conditions lead to new interactions not present in the theory without an anomalous U(1).

The mechanisms responsible for changing the nanofiber growth rate were studied and phenomenological models are proposed. The feedstock for VACNF growth is suggested to consist mainly of radicals formed in the plasma and not the unexcited acetylene gas molecules. The growth rate is shown to increase dramatically by changing the radical transport mechanism from diffusive to forced flow, which was accomplished by increasing the gas flow in the direction perpendicular to the substrate.

Post deposition charge transport measurements indicated more than a factor of six decrease in the electrode/nanotube contact resistance, yet the semiconducting behavior of the nanotube was maintained. A significant difference in the post deposition I–V characteristics may be explained by an electronic or mechanical modification of the nanotube/electrode junction.

The structural uniformity of the atomic-wires or “quantum-wire array” appears far superior to those created by nano-lithography or STM atom manipulation, which presents an interesting opportunity to explore electronic transport in atomic wires of mesoscopic length. The structure and electronic structure of the atomic-wire array is investigated by means of first-principles total-energy calculations and photoemission experiments. The electronic conduction channels appear to be orthogonal to the crystallographic chains.

Both Coulomb and the nuclear potentials are important in these reactions, but the Coulomb contribution cannot be calculated reliably in first-order perturbation theory. The most dramatic feature is a dynamic polarization effect, which reduces the Coulomb dissociation probability compared to first-order perturbation theory. Over most of the energy range, the correction is proportional to Z3, the cube of the target charge, and the relative importance is nearly inversely proportional to the beam energy. At the lowest energies in the range considered, higher-order effects (⩾Z3) become significant as well. At the impact parameters where nuclear induced breakup is dominant, the diffraction dissociation is reduced whereas stripping is enhanced compared to the eikonal approximation. Here too the deviations decrease inversely with beam energy over most of the range considered.

It may not be necessary, however, to quantify the entanglement of a state in order to quantify the quantum information processing significance of a state. It is known that the fully entangled fraction has a direct relationship to the fidelity of teleportation maximized under the actions of local unitary operations. In the case of two qubits we point out that the fully entangled fraction can also be related to the fidelities, maximized under the actions of local unitary operations, of other important quantum information tasks such as dense coding, entanglement swapping and quantum cryptography in such a way as to provide an inclusive measure of these entanglement applications. For two qubit systems the fully entangled fraction has a simple known closed-form expression and we establish lower and upper bounds of this quantity with the concurrence. This approach is readily extendable to more complicated systems.

It can identify atoms in the topmost layer of a solid and provide real-space data about surface atom arrangement. This technique and its application to the study of quasicrystal surfaces is described using examples of the types of information that can be obtained from the ternary icosahedral alloy Al–Pd–Mn. These include surface layer and subsurface layer compositions, surface layer symmetry, interlayer spacings, and neighboring atom distances. In the case of annealed quasicrystalline Al–Pd–Mn, the surface is found to be composed primarily of Al atoms, a Pd-rich layer appears to exist just below the Al layer, and the top layers are deficient in Mn. The Al atoms at the surface exhibit local 5-fold symmetry.

Both acute and chronic radiation health threats are known to exist, with solar particle events as an example of the former and galactic cosmic rays (GCR) of the latter. In this experiment Iron ions of 1A GeV are used to simulate GCR and to determine the secondary radiation field created as the GCR-like particles interact with a thick target. A NASA prepared food pantry locker was subjected to the iron beam and the secondary fluence recorded. A modified version of the Monte Carlo heavy ion transport code developed by Zeitlin at LBNL is compared with experimental fluence. The foodstuff is modeled as mixed nuts as defined by the 71st edition of the Chemical Rubber Company (CRC) Handbook of Physics and Chemistry. The results indicate a good agreement between the experimental data and the model. The agreement between model and experiment is determined using a linear fit to ordered pairs of data. The intercept is forced to zero. The slope fit is 0.825 and the R2 value is 0.429 over the resolved fluence region. The removal of an outlier, Z=14, gives values of 0.888 and 0.705 for slope and R2 respectively.

These quantitative methods are also needed for characterizing accelerator beams used in space radiobiology studies. Because of the impracticality/impossibility of measuring these altered radiation fields inside critical internal body organs of biological test specimens and humans, computational methods rather than direct measurements must be used. Since composition changes in the fields arise from nuclear interaction processes (elastic, inelastic and breakup), knowledge of the appropriate cross sections and spectra must be available. Experiments alone cannot provide the necessary cross section and secondary particle (neutron and charged particle) spectral data because of the large number of nuclear species and wide range of energies involved in space radiation research. Hence, nuclear models are needed. In this paper current methods of predicting total and absorption cross sections and secondary particle (neutrons and ions) yields and spectra for space radiation protection analyses are reviewed. Model shortcomings are discussed and future needs presented.

Specific reference was given to responses of the blood forming system. Results suggest that the daily dose rate of 7.5 cGy d−1 represents a threshold below which the hematopoietic system can retain either partial or full trilineal cell-producing capacity (erythropoiesis, myelopoiesis, and megakaryopoiesis) for extended periods of exposure (> 1yr). Trilineal capacity was fully retained for several years of exposure at the lowest dose-rate tested (0.3 cGy d−1) but was completely lost within several hundred days at the highest dose-rate (26.3 cGy d−1). Retention of hematopoietic capacity under chronic exposure has been demonstrated to be mediated by hematopoietic progenitors with acquired radioresistance and repair functions, altered cytogenetics, and cell-cycle characteristics. Radiological, biological, and temporal parameters responsible for these vital acquisitions by hematopoietic progenitors have been partially characterized. These parameters, along with threshold responses, are described and discussed in relation to potential health risks of the space traveler under chronic stress of low-dose irradiation.

Approximate, i.e. thin shear layer self-similar forms for mass, momentum and the scalar quantity are derived, and then linearized using Goertler''s method. Though successful for the mean velocity field, the regular expansion yields inconsistent solutions for the transport of a scalar. Sources of the non-uniformity are identified using appropriate numerical methods for both non-linear and linear formulations. A consistent result is obtained by rescaling the independent variable and equation system and identifying dominant behavior. The results of this corrected formulation are shown to be consistent with the relationships obtained by the author using an approximate matched asymptotic expansion procedure.

The most productive reservoirs are located in the late Pennsylvanian Morrow and early Permian Abo formations. Production from the latter more important play is predominately from fluvial Abo red beds of the Pecos Slope Field. The oxidizing conditions implied by the reddish color of the formation require an external hydrocarbon source. To test the existing migration model for the region and constrain the location of potential hydrocarbon sources, we measured the elemental and isotopic composition of noble gases produced along with the hydrocarbons. We found the hydrocarbons to be highly enriched in radiogenic 4He, 40*Ar and nucleogenic 21*Ne [F(4He) = 44,000–250,000; 40Ar/36Ar = 400–3145; 21Ne/22Ne = 0.044–0.071]. The greatest enrichments occur in the Pecos Slope gas fields. The hydrocarbons also contain three independent nonradiogenic noble gas components each with an atmospheric isotopic composition. One component is most likely air-saturated water (ASW). The second component is enriched in the heavy noble gases [F(130Xe) > 8.5] and is derived from the hydrocarbon sources. The third component is enriched in Ne [F(20Ne) > 0.8] that we believe is degassed from sources within the reservoirs. This component is correlated with but decoupled from the dominant source of radiogenic 4He and 40*Ar. Very high concentrations of 4He (up to ∼1% by volume) in the Pecos slope reservoirs require a source external to the reservoirs, such as the underlying Precambrian basement granites and sedimentary equivalents. Structural buckles cutting through the Pecos field may act as high flux vertical pathways for the radiogenic 4He. If the hydrocarbons in the Pecos slope fields have migrated northward from the deeper Delaware Basin, as suggested by compositional trends, then perhaps the buckles also play an important role in the distribution and filling of the Pecos slope reservoirs.

There is a radial “sigmoidal” periodicity for both isotope ratios, but the two are out of phase, with high δD values corresponding to low δ18O values. Periodicity for a 100- to 120-mm diameter nodule is approximately 16 mm, increasing slightly toward the rim, with amplitudes approaching 20 and 3.0‰ for hydrogen and oxygen, respectively. The combined hydrogen-oxygen isotope data for one nodule fall on a published curve for chert forming in equilibrium with seawater ; the range of delta values corresponds to temperature variations of ∼10°C. Data for a second chert fall on a subparallel δD-δ18O line with δD values that are almost 50‰ lower. The δD-δ18O patterns for the nodules cannot be explained by periodic mixing of meteoric and ocean water because the hydrogen and oxygen isotope data are out of phase. Two possible explanations for the antiphase periodicity are (a) cyclical temperature variations, perhaps related to an unstable convection system (e.g., , and (b) self-organizing catalytic precipitation (e.g., . The systematic isotopic variations are difficult to explain by diagenesis and strongly suggest that primary isotopic compositions are preserved. The isotopic data provide important information on the thermal history of the sedimentary basin, if temperature variations are the cause of the isotopic periodicity.

Fitting results confirm substitution in the Ca site, but first-shell Nd-O and Sm-O distances are longer than the Ca-O distance in calcite and longer than what is consistent with ionic radii sums for sixfold coordination in the octahedral Ca site. In contrast, first-shell Dy-O and Yb-O distances are shorter than the Ca-O distance and are consistent with ionic radii sums for sixfold coordination. Comparison of Nd-O and Sm-O bond lengths with those in lanthanide sesquioxides and with ionic radii trends across the lanthanide series suggests that Nd3+ and Sm3+ have sevenfold coordination in a modified Ca site in calcite. This would require some disruption of the local structure, with an expected decrease in stability, and possibly a different charge compensation mechanism between Nd and Sm vs. Yb and Dy. A possible explanation for the increased coordination for the larger rare-earth elements involves bidentate ligation from a CO3 group. Because trivalent actinides such as Am3+ and Cm3+ have ionic radii similar to Nd3+, their incorporation in calcite may result in a similar defect structure.

In addition, the most commonly used nitrogen precursors are all extremely inefficient. Growth of InGaAsN with NF3 as the nitrogen precursor is relatively insensitive to the addition of indium and has an incorporation efficiency much higher than dimethylhydrazine. The results from a study of four nitrogen precursors are presented, indicating that only NF3 is insensitive to the incorporation of In. The relative incorporation efficiencies for the four sources are also determined, indicating that the relative efficiencies are as follows: NF3∼hydrazine>tertiary-butylhydrazine>dimethylhydrazine. We propose a simple model based on chemical reactions to account for the differences in incorporation efficiency.

The absorption spectra exhibit partly severe differences compared with the previously communicated band maxima and relative intensities of sublimed material. The observed more intense groups of signals comprise purely electronic f–f- as well as weaker vibronic transitions (where low frequency skeleton vibrations are coupling). Both types of bands could be separated by comparing these groups of signals with those of additional weaker vibronic transitions at higher frequencies (which have to be associated with the ν-CC vibration). In case of the multiplet 3F3 the resulting crystal field states are identified on an experimental as well as a calculated basis. Besides, the temperature dependence of μeff2 of the base adducts Cp3Tm·THF, Cp3Tm·MeTHF and Cp3Tm·CNC6H11 was determined and is compared with the result of a model calculation.

XPS measurement demonstrated that Cu concentration is higher in the outside region of bulk samples, indicating that Cu may be incorporated through an immersing process rather than ion-exchanging. TEM observation showed that, like an aerogel sample with K ions, Cu-loaded organic aerogels had porous texture in which gel particles about 20-30 nmφ were interconnected with each other. Metal-loading process used in this study was considered as a promising method to disperse metals without changing original structure of carbon aerogels.

All the samples showed bulk superconductivity with Tc=38–39 K. The samples containing the least amount of unreacted Mg showed the highest Tc and the sharpest transition width (ΔTc). A residual resistivity ratio (RRR) of 5.8, and a magnetoresistance (MR), at 40 K and 10 T, of 12% were obtained for these samples. Moreover, there was no upturn of resistivity in a low temperature region at 10 T. The samples containing appreciable amounts of unreacted Mg showed quite different behaviors; the values of ΔTc, RRR, and MR were much larger. An upturn appeared in resistivity of the samples below about 50 K at 10 T and is thought to be due to the unreacted Mg.

The diffraction measurements indicate that the tapes typically consist of 90% Bi-2223 phase. Rocking curve studies of the Bi-2223 (2 0 0) peak reveal full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) in the range 13–19°. A weak correlation between rocking curve FWHMs and critical current densities suggests that the critical current values in these tapes may not be limited by the Bi-2223 c-axis orientation.

Such polycrystalline silicon films are used in small-scale structural applications including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and are known to display ‘metal-like’ stress-life (S/N) fatigue behavior in room temperature air environments. Previously, fatigue lives in excess of 1011 cycles have been observed at high frequency (~40 kHz), fully-reversed stress amplitudes as low as half the fracture strength using a surface micromachined, resonant-loaded, fatigue characterization structure. In this work the accumulation of fatigue-induced oxidation and cracking of the native SiO2 of the polycrystalline silicon was established using transmission electron and infrared microscopy and correlated with experimentally observed changes in specimen compliance using numerical models. These results were used to establish that the mechanism of the apparent fatigue failure of thin-film silicon involves sequential oxidation and environmentally-assisted crack growth solely within the native SiO2 layer. This ‘reaction-layer fatigue’ mechanism is only significant in thin films where the critical crack size for catastrophic failure can be reached by a crack growing within the oxide layer. It is shown that the susceptibility of thin-film silicon to such failures can be suppressed by the use of alkene-based monolayer coatings that prevent the formation of the native oxide.

This source creates a spectrum of β-particles with an energy range similar to that of the SNO 8B solar neutrino signal. The source is used to test the SNO detector''s energy response, position reconstruction and data reduction algorithms. The 8Li isotope is created using a deuterium–tritium neutron generator in conjunction with a 11B target, and is carried to a decay chamber using a gas/aerosol transport system. The decay chamber detects prompt α-particles by gas scintillation in coincidence with the β-particles which exit through a thin stainless steel wall. A description is given of the production, transport, and tagging techniques along with a discussion of the performance and application of the source.

ADVISOR provides the vehicle engineering community with an easy-to-use, flexible, yet robust and supported analysis package for advanced vehicle modeling. It is primarily used to quantify the fuel economy, the performance, and the emissions of vehicles that use alternative technologies including fuel cells, batteries, electric motors, and internal combustion engines in hybrid (i.e. multiple power sources) configurations. It excels at quantifying the relative change that can be expected due to the implementation of technology compared to a baseline scenario. ADVISOR’s capabilities and limitations are presented and the power source models that are included in ADVISOR are discussed. Finally, several applications of the tool are presented to highlight ADVISOR’s functionality. The content of this paper is based on a presentation made at the ‘Development of Advanced Battery Engineering Models’ workshop held in Crystal City, Virginia in August 2001.

The battery designs were based upon the lithium-ion cell composition designated Gen-2 in the US Department of Energy Advanced Technology Development Program. The worst-case cooling requirement that would occur during prolonged aggressive driving was estimated to be 250 W or about 5 W per cell for a 48-cell battery. Rapid heating of the battery from a very low startup temperature is more difficult than cooling during driving. A dielectric transformer fluid is superior to air for both heating and cooling the battery. A dedicated refrigeration system for cooling the battery coolant would be helpful in maintaining low temperature during driving. The use of ample insulation would effectively slow the battery temperature rise when parking the vehicle in warm weather. Operating the battery at 10 °C during the first several years when the battery has excess power would extend the battery life.

Sandia National Laboratories has a broad-based program that includes analysis, engineering and model development. We have determined thermal properties of lithium batteries using a variety of calorimetric methods for many years. We developed the capability to model temperature gradients and cooling rates of high-temperature primary lithium thermal batteries several years ago. Work is now under way to characterize the response of ambient-temperature rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to thermal abuse. Once the self-heating rates of lithium cells have been established over a range of temperatures, the thermal response can be estimated under a variety of conditions. We have extended this process to isolate the behavior of individual battery components and have begun to understand the chemical nature of the species responsible for heat evolution within the cells. This enhanced level of understanding will enable more accurate modeling of cell thermal behavior and will allow model-based design of safer, more abuse-tolerant lithium batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in the future. Progress toward this goal and key information still needed to reach it are discussed.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) ADVISOR is developed in the Matlab/Simulink environment. There are several battery models in ADVISOR for various chemistry types. Each one of these models requires a thermal model to predict the temperature change that could affect battery performance parameters, such as resistance, capacity and state of charges. A lumped capacitance battery thermal model in the Matlab/Simulink environment was developed that included the ADVISOR battery performance models. For thermal evaluation and design of battery modules and packs, NREL has been using various computer aided engineering tools including commercial finite element analysis software. This paper will discuss the thermal ADVISOR battery model and its results, along with the results of finite element modeling that were presented at the workshop on “Development of Advanced Battery Engineering Models” in August 2001.

It is shown how the molecular structure of the electrolyte strongly influences ion transport through the polymer as well as across the interfaces and determines the values of a number of parameters needed for system models that can predict the performance of the battery (e.g. κ, D, t0+ and i0). The interaction of the electrolyte with the electrodes not only leads to transfer of the lithium ion across the interface but also to side reactions that profoundly influence the calendar and life cycle of the battery. Typically these electrochemically induced side reactions generate the SEI layer, but inherent instability of the bulk electrolyte may also play a role in the formation of surface layers. These various reactions can lead to changes in the mechanical properties of the separator and electrode structure that promote life-limiting phenomena such as dendrite growth, passivation and morphology changes. The rheological model of Eisenberg is drawn upon to show how the interactions of the electrolyte with surfaces can lead to distinct changes in mechanical and transport properties that may limit the battery performance and lead to diminished performance with time. The molecular level models may be combined with the rheological models to provide workable models of the interfaces and bulk electrolyte dynamics that in turn can be used to provide a more accurate level of performance prediction from the system models. This connects molecular structure with battery performance and guides the design and synthesis of new and better materials.

The lithium cation interaction with three polyalkyloxides (polyethylene oxide (PEO), polytrimethylene oxide (PTMO), and polypropylene oxide (PPO)) has been investigated using ab initio molecular orbital theory at the HF/6-31G* level with molecular models for the polymers. Coordination by one to six oxygens was considered. In addition, higher level calculations were carried out using G3(MP2) theory for coordination of Li+ by one oxygen. For coordination of lithium by one oxygen, the binding energy ordering is PTMO>PPO>PEO, with PTMO having the largest lithium cation affinity. The same ordering is found for larger coordination numbers with the exception of coordination by six oxygens, where the ordering changes due to the steric interactions.

A maximum discharge capacity of 830 mAh/g was observed by cycling over a wide voltage window of 5–650 mV versus Li, but capacity fade was rapid. Cycling over the range 50–225 mV versus Li produced a stable discharge capacity of approximately 100 mAh/g. X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments showed that lithium insertion converts Mg2Si into Li2MgSi after lithium intercalation into Mg2Si. Electrochemical evidence of Li–Si reactions indicated that the Li2MgSi structure can be converted to binary lithium alloys with extensive charging.

The objectives of some of these investigations are: (1) to develop procedures to rapidly determine performance degradation rates while these cells undergo life tests; (2) to model cell voltage and capacity in order to simulate cell output under variable load and temperature conditions; (3) to model rechargeable battery degradation under conditions of cyclic charge/discharge, and many others. Among the uses for the models are: (1) to enable efficient predictions of battery life; (2) to characterize system behavior.Inductive models seek to characterize system behavior using experimentally or analytically obtained data in an efficient and robust framework that does not require phenomenological development. There are certain advantages to this. Among these advantages is the ability to avoid making measurements of hard to determine physical parameters or having to understand cell processes sufficiently to write mathematical functions describing their behavior. We have used artificial neural networks (ANNs) for inductive modeling, along with ancillary mathematical tools to improve their accuracy.This paper summarizes efforts to use inductive tools for cell and battery modeling. Examples of numerical results are presented.

In this study, the input data for the model included design criteria from Quallion, LLC for Gen-2 18650 cells, which were used to test the accuracy of the dimensional modeling. Performance measurements on these cells were done at the electrochemical analysis and diagnostics laboratory (EADL) at Argonne National Laboratory. The impedance and capacity related criteria were calculated from the EADL measurements. Five batteries were designed for which the number of windings around the cell core was increased for each succeeding battery to study the effect of this variable upon the dimensions, weight, and performance of the batteries. The lumped-parameter battery model values were calculated for these batteries from the laboratory results, with adjustments for the current collection resistance calculated for the individual batteries.

T1 - Calendar- and cycle-life studies of advanced technology development program generation 1 lithium-ion batteries JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2002/08/22/ VL - 110 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 445 SN - 03787753 AB - This paper presents the test results and life modeling of special calendar- and cycle-life tests conducted on 18650-size generation 1 (Gen 1) lithium-ion battery cells (nominal capacity of 0.9 Ah; 3.0–4.1 V rating) developed to establish a baseline chemistry and performance for the Department of Energy sponsored advanced technology development (ATD) program. Electrical performance testing was conducted at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL).As part of the electrical performance testing, a new calendar-life test protocol was used. The test consisted of a once per day discharge and charge pulse designed to have minimal impact on the cell yet establish its performance over a period of time such that the calendar-life of the cell could be determined. The calendar-life test matrix included two states-of-charge (SOCs) (i.e. 60 and 80%) and four test temperatures (40, 50, 60 and 70 °C). Discharge and regen resistances were calculated from the test data. Results indicate that both the discharge and regen resistances increased non-linearly as a function of the test time. The magnitude of the resistances depended on the temperature and SOC at which the test was conducted. Both resistances had a non-linear increase with respect to time at test temperature. The discharge resistances are greater than the regen resistances at all of the test temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. For both the discharge and regen resistances, generally the higher the test temperature, the lower the resistance.The measured resistances were then used to develop an empirical model that was used to predict the calendar-life of the cells. This model accounted for the time, temperature and SOC of the batteries during the calendar-life test. The functional form of the model is given by: R(t,T,SOC)=A(T, SOC)F(t)+B(T, SOC), where t is the time at test temperature, T the test temperature and SOC the SOC of the cell at the start of the test. A(T, SOC) and B(T, SOC) are assumed to be functions of the temperature and SOC; F is assumed to only be a function of the time at test temperature. Using curve-fitting techniques for a number of time-dependent functions, it was found that both the discharge and regen resistances were best correlated with F(t) having a square-root of test time dependence. These results led to the relationship for the discharge and regen resistances: R(t,T,SOC)=A(T, SOC)t1/2+B(T, SOC). The square-root of time dependence can be accounted for by either a one-dimensional diffusion type of mechanism, presumably of the lithium-ions or by a parabolic growth mechanism for the growth of a thin-film solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on the anode and/or cathode. The temperature dependence of the resistance was then investigated using various model fits to the functions A(T, SOC) and B(T, SOC). The results of this exercise lead to a functional form for the temperature dependence of the fitting functions having an Arrhenius-like form: A(T,SOC)=a(SOC){exp[b(SOC)/T]} and B(T,SOC)=c(SOC){exp[d(SOC)/T]}, where a and c are constants, and b and d are related to activation energy (Eb and Ed) by using the gas constant (R) such that b=Eb/R and d=Ed/R. The functional form, therefore, for the discharge and regen resistances, including the SOC, is then: R(t,T,SOC)=a(SOC){exp[b(SOC)/T]}t1/2+c(SOC){exp[d(SOC)/T]}. The a, b, c and d parameters are explicitly shown as being functions of the SOC. However, due to the lack of testing at SOC values other than 60 and 80% SOC, the exact form of the SOC dependence could not be determined from the experimental data. The values of a, b, c and d were determined, thus permitting the function R(t, T, SOC) to be used to correlate the discharge and regen data and to predict what the resistances would be at different test times and temperatures.This paper also presents, discusses and models the results of a special cycle-life test conducted for a period of time at specified temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. This test, consisting of specified discharge and charge protocols, was designed to establish the cycle-life performance of the cells over a time interval such that their cycle-life could be determined. The cycle-life test was conducted at 60% SOC, with SOC swings of Δ3, Δ6 and Δ9%. During the cycle-life test, the discharge and regen resistances were determined after every 100 test cycles. The results of the cycle-life testing indicate that both the discharge and regen resistances increased non-linearly as a function of the test time at each Δ% SOC test. The magnitude of the resistances and the rate at which they changed depended on the temperature and Δ% SOC at which the test was conducted. Both resistances had a non-linear increase with respect to time at test temperature, i.e. as the number of test cycles increased the discharge and regen resistances increased also. For a given Δ% SOC test, the discharge resistances are greater than the regen resistances at all of the test temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. For both the discharge and regen resistances, generally the higher the test temperature, the lower the resistance. At each of the four test temperatures, the magnitude of the discharge and regen resistances was generally in the following order: Δ3% SOC>Δ9% SOC>Δ6% SOC, but the ordering was dependent on test time.A model was also developed to account for the time, temperature, SOC and Δ% SOC of the batteries during the cycle-life test. The functional form of the model is given by R(t,T,SOC,Δ% SOC)=A(T, SOC, Δ% SOC)F(t)+B(T, SOC, Δ% SOC) where t is the time at test temperature, T the test temperature, SOC the SOC of the cell at the start and end of the test and Δ% SOC the SOC swing during the test. A(T, SOC, Δ% SOC) and B(T, SOC, Δ% SOC) are assumed to be functions of the test temperature, SOC and Δ% SOC swing. F(t) is assumed to only be a function of the test time at test temperature. Using curve-fitting techniques for a number of time-dependent functions, it was found that both the discharge and regen resistances were best correlated by a square-root of test time dependence. These results led to the relationship for the discharge and regen resistances having the form R(t,T,SOC,Δ% SOC)=A(T, SOC, Δ% SOC)t1/2+B(T, SOC, Δ% SOC). This model is essentially the same as used to analyze the calendar-life test data. The temperature dependence of the resistance was then investigated using various model fits to the functions A(T) and B(T). The results of this exercise lead to a functional form for the functions having again an Arrhenius-like form: A(T)=a[exp(b/T)] and B(T)=c[exp(d/T)] where a and c are constants, and b and d are related to activation energies. The functional form, therefore, for the discharge and regen resistances including the SOC and Δ% SOC is R(t,T,SOC,Δ% SOC)=a(SOC, Δ% SOC){exp[b(SOC, Δ% SOC)/T]}t1/2+c(SOC, Δ% SOC){exp[d(SOC, Δ% SOC)/T]}. The a, b, c and d parameters are explicitly shown as being functions of the SOC and the Δ% SOC. However, due to the lack of testing at SOC values other than 60% SOC, the exact form of the SOC dependence could not be determined from the experimental data. In addition, no model was found that consistently correlated the observed resistance changes with the Δ% SOC of the tests. Eliminating the SOC and Δ% SOC from the resistance function, the function R(t, T) was then used to correlate the discharge and regen resistances data. This model also allows the prediction of what the resistances would be at different test times at a particular Δ% SOC test condition and temperature.

Hardness and elastic modulus were measured via microindentation, and intrinsic compressive stress was determined from radius-of-curvature measurements using surface mapping microscopy. Film chemistry was investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Conventional- and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that the Si-aC:H phase is amorphous and TiC exists at the Si-aC:H/Ti phase boundary. Mechanical properties such as hardness, modulus, and intrinsic stress decreased with increasing Si and H content in the films, for Si/C⩾0.04. Measurements show that this is most likely due to a decrease in C&z.sbnd;C sp3 bonds, accompanied by an increase in C&z.sbnd;Si and C&z.sbnd;H bonds. In addition, the Si-aC:H film with Si/C=0.04 is fundamentally different from the other Si-aC:H films with higher Si and H contents. It is concluded that a film with diamond-like carbon characteristics can be deposited using a low tetramethyl silane (TMS) flow rate, such that Si/C=0.04 in the film. However, films deposited with higher TMS flow rates (such that Si/C⩾0.06 in the films) are more characteristic of amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide.

To examine this variability, 10 human lymphoblastoid cell lines were screened for adaptability to 137Cs radiation by determining the frequency of micronuclei in binucleated cells. Of these, six adapted, three did not adapt and one was synergistic. The assay was then repeated on each of the cell lines to test for reproducibility. Five cell lines showed the same result both times; four of these adapted and one did not.To determine whether fluctuations in the cell cycle distribution in the irradiated population of cells could alter the adaptive response, and therefore explain some of the observed variability, two of the cell lines were tested for adaptation after enriching the population, by synchronization, for a given cell cycle stage. In both cell lines, the direction of the response was altered when the distribution of cells within the cell cycle was changed, suggesting that the adaptive response can be affected by cell cycle stage at the time of irradiation.

Two series of samples were considered. One series was prepared by classic incipient wet impregnation (WI) and the other series by co-impregnation in the presence of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). The effect of sodium on the catalyst structure depended on the preparation procedure: in the case of the WI catalysts, sodium promoted the transformation of the polymolybdate species into monomolybdate Na2MoO4; in the case of the NTA prepared samples, sodium induced transformation from heptamolybdates, Mo2O72− and mixed CoMo oxides into MoO42− units with distorted tetrahedral symmetry without forming Na2MoO4 compound. In addition to purely structural modifications, sodium induced an electronic effect, evidenced by Mo 3d and Co 2p XPS binding energy shifts. The catalytic behaviour of the samples, previously tested in the HDS of thiophene, was explained in terms of structural and electronic changes.

It was found that the activity of Pt and Pt&z.sbnd;Ru for methanol oxidation is a strong function of pH of solution and temperature. The kinetics are much higher in alkaline than in acid solution; at 333 K, a factor of 30 for Pt and a factor of 20 for Pt2Ru3 at 0.5 V. The pH effect is attributed to the pH competitive adsorption of oxygenated species with anions from supporting electrolytes. The activity of Pt and Pt2Ru3 catalysts at 333 K is higher (a factor of 5) than at 295 K. Irrespective of pH, only negligible differences in the kinetics are observed between Pt and on high Ru content Pt alloys, presumably owing to a slow rate of methanol dehydrogenation on the Ru-rich surface and insufficient number of Pt sites required for dissociative chemisorption of methanol.

The rotating ring-disk electrode technique was used to study the ORR with solution phase peroxide detected at the ring electrode. Pd modification was either by electrodeposition (Pt) or by vapor deposition in vacuum (Au). The surface concentration of Pd was determined in vacuum using low energy ion scattering. In agreement to the structure sensitivity found at room temperature previously, on the bare Au(hkl) surfaces the ORR was found to be strongly structure sensitive in the temperature range from 293 to 333 K, with order of activity being (100)≫(110)>(111). The structure sensitivity for Pt(hkl) is much less and varies in the nearly the opposite order (111)>(100)>(110). The peroxide intermediate pathway is clearly operative on Au(hkl) surfaces. At elevated temperature, significantly smaller amounts of peroxide are formed. The kinetics of the ORR were significantly enhanced by modification of both Pt(hkl) and Au(hkl) surfaces with Pd. The catalytic effect is most pronounced on the surfaces that are less active surfaces in the unmodified state, with enhancement at least an order of magnitude faster kinetics. Pd modification of the Au(hkl) surfaces, therefore, significantly reduces the structure sensitivity of the ORR. Even on the highly active Pt(111) surface the kinetics can be improved by a factor of approximately two to four due to Pd modification. The catalytic enhancement can be achieved with as little as 18 at.% Pd in the Au(hkl) surface.

Spontaneous deposition of Pt was used to form approximately 1.5 and 0.5 monolayers on Ru single crystals and nanoparticles, respectively. The reaction kinetics of O2 on single crystal surfaces has a small structural dependence. It is also affected by the oxidation state of the Ru surfaces. The reaction involves the exchange of approximately four electrons per O2 molecule, with the transfer of the first electron being the rate determining step. A deposit of 1.5 monolayers of Pt makes the surfaces considerably more active than bare Ru, but nevertheless still less active than bulk Pt. An electrocatalyst made by the deposition 0.5 monolayers of Pt on carbon-supported Ru nanoparticles is somewhat less active than commercial catalysts, but contains considerably lower Pt loadings.

The bimetallic catalysts had the nominal compositions of 50 and 75 at.% Pt with the alloying elements being Ni and Co. A ternary catalyst consisted of Pt, Rh and Fe in the ratio of 1:0.3:0.7. Comparison is made to carbon supported Pt. The particle size distribution of the metallic phases was obtained by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). An estimation of the surface composition was obtained from the hydrogen adsorption charge and the particle size. Electrochemical measurements were performed using the thin-film rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) method in 0.1 M HClO4 at 20–60 °C. Kinetic analysis in comparison to pure Pt revealed an activity enhancement (per Pt surface atom) of a factor of 2 to 3 for the 50 at.% Co-catalyst. The 25 at.% Co(Ni) and the ternary catalyst revealed similar activity compared with pure Pt. The 50 at.% Ni catalyst was actually less active than the Pt standard and unstable at oxygen electrode potentials. Ring-current collection measurements for peroxide indicated no significant differences between the alloy catalysts and pure Pt with the exception of the 50 at.% Ni catalyst which had a higher peroxide yield. Comparison was also made to results obtained under equal experimental conditions on polycrystalline (pc) Pt3Ni and Pt3Co alloy electrodes. These bulk alloys were prepared in UHV to obtain a well defined surface composition of 75 at.% Pt and 25 at.% Co and Ni, respectively. A Pt(pc) electrode served for comparison. The bulk alloys also have an enhanced activity for the orr by about a factor of 2 versus the identically prepared Pt(pc) electrode.

We have tested various carbon supported Pt&z.sbnd;M alloys (M: Cr, Ni, Rh, Sn) as cathode catalysts and compared performances with Pt/C. Pt&z.sbnd;Ni and Pt&z.sbnd;Cr provided the best results. Fuel cell performance at high constant voltages (>0.8 V) decreases rapidly with time. Within 1 h currents may drop to one half of their original value. Experiments strongly suggest that, at these voltages, there is an inherent Pt activity loss for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to adsorption of oxygenated species from water. We also demonstrate that OH− species (from water oxidation), which block Pt active sites, adsorb at more positive voltages on Pt&z.sbnd;M than on Pt surfaces. Thus, we conclude that the Pt surfaces of these alloys are more active for the ORR because of slower OH− species adsorption at high cell voltages. We have also found that short time cell voltage excursions from 0.8 to 0.5 V or lower at regular intervals, completely recovers the loss of performance. Consistent with our other results, pulsing to lower voltages reactivates the Pt surface by electrodesorption of OH− or other anions.

Thus, instead of shutting-in the well for a substantial time period, we propose to select a portion of the pumping data over a certain time interval and then derive our conclusions from these data. A distinctive feature of our analysis is that we introduce an auxiliary parameter to account for the possible after-effects of pumping that preceded the test interval and, consequently, the non-uniform initial pressure conditions. We demonstrate that those effects influence not only the analysis of regular operations data, but also the analysis of a traditional pressure drawdown or pressure buildup test with a prior shut-in period. We show that phenomena usually attributed to wellbore storage or skin effects can be at least partially interpreted through the parameter we introduce. Unlike some traditional methods, our analysis utilizes almost the entire test time period for curve-fitting. It turns out that it produces good data matching even if the test period is short and the frequency of measurements is low.Another distinctive feature of the present approach is that the parameter estimation problem is reduced to a combination of quadratic criterion minimization and a search for the minimum of a one-variable function. Because we can obtain the solution to the quadratic problem analytically, we significantly simplify the problem and dramatically reduce the amount of computations required.

Sequestering atmospheric C in agricultural soils is being advocated as a possibility to partially offset fossil-fuel emissions. Sequestering C in agriculture requires a change in management practices, i.e. efficient use of pesticides, irrigation, and farm machinery. The C emissions associated with a change in practices have not traditionally been incorporated comprehensively into C sequestration analyses. A full C cycle analysis has been completed for agricultural inputs, resulting in estimates of net C flux for three crop types across three tillage intensities. The full C cycle analysis includes estimates of energy use and C emissions for primary fuels, electricity, fertilizers, lime, pesticides, irrigation, seed production, and farm machinery. Total C emissions values were used in conjunction with C sequestration estimates to model net C flux to the atmosphere over time. Based on US average crop inputs, no-till emitted less CO2 from agricultural operations than did conventional tillage, with 137 and 168 kg C ha−1 per year, respectively. Changing from conventional tillage to no-till is therefore estimated to both enhance C sequestration and decrease CO2 emissions. While the enhanced C sequestration will continue for a finite time, the reduction in net CO2 flux to the atmosphere, caused by the reduced fossil-fuel use, can continue indefinitely, as long as the alternative practice is continued. Estimates of net C flux, which are based on US average inputs, will vary across crop type and different climate regimes. The C coefficients calculated for agricultural inputs can be used to estimate C emissions and net C flux on a site-specific basis.

A multidisciplinary research team used member consensus and quantitative estimates, with extensive external review, to develop a specific research agenda. The team outlined the following priority research topics: building-influenced communicable respiratory infections, building-related asthma/allergic diseases, and nonspecific building-related symptoms; indoor environmental science; and methods for increasing implementation of healthful building practices. Available data surest that improving building environments may result in health benefits for more than 15 million of the 89 million US indoor workers, with estimated economic benefits of $5 to $75 billion annually. Research on these topics, requiring new collaborations and resources, offers enormous potential health and economic returns.

Three key elements of this simulation environment are discussed: (1) a numerical engine for solving sets of coupled non-linear process equations; (2) an automated procedure for model code generation (`Automatic Code Generator''); (3) a Web-distributed Knowledge Base (KB) of processes. The Automatic Code Generator translates the information selected in the KB into computer algorithms using the principles defined in the numerical engine. The code CONTRASTE is a first attempt at developing such a modelling framework. It allows one to easily select, adapt and combine a specific set of biogeochemical processes relevant to a user-defined application. The workings of CONTRASTE are described by means of examples which demonstrate how the various components of the simulation environment are coupled and automated. Prospects for future developments towards a fully automated model generation procedure are discussed.

The X-ray crystal structure of the duplex ⟦d(GCGTA)USed(ACGC)〉2 was determined by the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) technique and refined to a resolution of 1.3 A˚, demonstrating that selenium can selectively substitute oxygen in DNA and that the resulting compounds are chemically stable. Since derivatization at the 2′-α-position with selenium does not affect the preference of the sugar for the C3′-endo conformation, this strategy is suitable for incorporating selenium into RNA. The availability of selenium-containing nucleic acids for crystallographic phasing offers an attractive alternative to the commonly used halogenated pyrimidines.

Glasses belonging to the SiO2–CaO–MgO–Na2O–K2O–P2O5 system were used to prepare 50–70 μm thick coatings on Ti6Al4V, employing a simple enameling technique. Glasses with silica content higher than 55 wt% can be used to prepare coatings that do not crack or delaminate and exhibit good adhesion to the alloy. It has been found that coatings with silica content lower than 60 wt% are more susceptible to corrosion and precipitate carbonated hydroxyapatite on their surface during in vitro tests. However, these coatings have a higher thermal expansion than the metal and are under tension. After 2 months in SBF cracks grow in the coating that reach the glass/metal interface and initiate delamination. Glasses with silica content higher than 60 wt% are more resistant to corrosion and have lower thermal expansion. These coatings do not crack but they do not precipitate apatite even after 2 months in SBF.

Differences in the rate at which a ligand dissociates from a receptor cause disproportionate differences in signaling events and cellular responses to ligand–receptor engagement. Analysis of a simple mathematical model, developed by McKeithan (1995, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 92, 5042–5046), has indicated that such sensitivity to binding kinetics is expected if a bound receptor must complete a cascade of modifications before generating a productive signal. However, recent experiments show that some cellular responses mediated by immunoreceptors escape from the control of kinetic proofreading, in the sense that these responses do not exhibit the expected sensitivity to the lifetime of a ligand–receptor bond. Here, we use an extended form of the McKeithan model to investigate possible explanations for such exceptions to the kinetic proofreading rule. We examine cellular responses triggered by cytosolic messengers, which are activated by modified receptors, and responses triggered by receptors in intermediate states of modification, i.e., receptors that have not progressed through the full series of potential modifications. Receptor aggregation is also considered. We find that the expected relationship between ligand–receptor binding kinetics and cellular responses can change significantly when signal transduction depends on a messenger or a partially modified receptor. In particular, cellular responses triggered by a messenger, such as a transcription factor that translocates from the membrane to the nucleus after receptor-mediated activation, can be sensitive or insensitive to a change in the lifetime of a ligand–receptor bond, depending on the parameters that govern the activation and decay of a messenger.

We investigated the molecular mechanism whereby malignant and nonmalignant mammary epithelial cells become insensitive to apoptosis. We show that regardless of growth status, formation of polarized, three-dimensional structures driven by basement membrane confers protection to apoptosis in both nonmalignant and malignant mammary epithelial cells. By contrast, irrespective of their malignant status, nonpolarized structures are sensitive to induction of apoptosis. Resistance to apoptosis requires ligation of β4 integrins, which regulates tissue polarity, hemidesmosome formation, and NFκB activation. Expression of β4 integrin that lacks the hemidesmosome targeting domain interferes with tissue polarity and NFκB activation and permits apoptosis. These results indicate that integrin-induced polarity may drive tumor cell resistance to apoptosis-inducing agents via effects on NFκB.

This skew explains why adsorption rate coefficients calculated at differing breakthrough fractions may not agree. Three extensive databases of breakthrough curves were analyzed to quantify this skew and the effects of relative humidity (preconditioning and use) on it. Skew results for varieties of chemicals and carbons agreed well and were combined to get a quadratic expression for a defined skew parameter. This expression was combined with a previous observation of the effect of breakthrough fraction on calculated rate coefficient. The combination allows estimation of an adsorption rate coefficient at a desired breakthrough fraction from a rate coefficient known (experimentally or by calculation) at another breakthrough fraction. A sample calculation is given.

We first give a brief account of the formulation of a two-phase mixture and then indicate where and how this principle should be utilized. We will then give a brief review of the meaning of this principle in continuum mechanics and how it has been used in various fields of physics. We also give examples of frame-indifferent and frame-dependent constitutive relations which have been used in multiphase flow studies. The importance of lift forces is also discussed. Finally, we derive a general constitutive relation which is frame-invariant and general enough to be used in many applications.

Siderophores are Fe(III)-specific organic ligands produced by microorganisms under conditions of Fe stress. Siderophore production was compared with previous experiments wherein Fe was supplied as hematite [Geomicrobiol. J. 17 (2000) 1]. Microbial growth increased in the order: no-added-Fe controlkaolinite>hematite≥Fe-EDTA. Thus, the bacterium was less Fe stressed in the presence of kaolinite than in the no-added-Fe control, confirming that kaolinite serves as a source of Fe to the bacterium. Although more siderophore per cell was produced in the most stressed system (no-Fe-added), more total siderophore was produced in the least stressed system (Fe-EDTA). This is due to the presence of a larger total population size in the least stressed system. Hence, the ability of a microbial population to produce siderophores as a means to access mineral-bound Fe is a complex function of both Fe stress and population size.

The upper warm stage of the hybrid refrigerator is a typical GM refrigeration cycle, and the cold stage is a pulse tube refrigerator (PTR), on which is thermodynamically coupled the upper warm stage. Four different types of phase shifting assembly: (1) a cold auxiliary piston that is connected to the displacer of the upper GM refrigerator stage, (2) an orifice with reservoir encircled the cold head of the upper stage, (3) an orifice with double-inlet, and (4) in combination with the cold auxiliary piston, orifice and double-inlet, has been proposed and analyzed for the adjustment of the phase shift between the gas mass flow and pressure in the pulse tube. Numerical simulation is performed to understand the unique thermo-physical features, to reveal the time-dependent dynamic parameters and to quantify the overall cooling performance of the hybrid refrigerator. We rely on a one-dimensional, unsteady compressible flow numerical model that is based on a mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian method developed by the present author. The model will be first applied to analyze the cooling performance of the hybrid refrigerator with different types of phase shifting assembly. In what following, it is used to simulate the dynamic parameters in the cold stage of the pulse tube cycle. Next, optimization of the structure parameters and geometrical configuration of the new refrigerator will be presented. Finally, the influences of different hybrid regenerative materials on the cooling capacity of the new hybrid GM/PTR will be also discussed.

SN - 10445498 AB - The identification of optimal antigens to include in an HIV vaccine designed to elicit a cellular immune response requires careful consideration of protein length, variability, and immunogenicity. Here, we have examined the relationship of these parameters in a cohort of HIV-infected subjects. We find that HIV Gag and Nef represent optimal antigens for the CD8+ T cell response, based on size, variability, and immunogenicity. Although the Env and Pol proteins have a poorer response to length (Pol) or variability (Env) ratio than Gag or Nef, they are still strong candidates for inclusion into an HIV vaccine, based on overall response frequency in the cohort. The accessory proteins Tat, Rev, Vif, Vpr, and Vpu in general all elicit very low CD8+ T cell responses, and this, in combination with their high variability, makes them less attractive as vaccine antigens.

Total standby power in the homes ranged from 14 to 169 W, with an average of 67 W. This corresponded to 5–26% of the homes’ annual electricity use. The appliances with the largest standby losses were televisions, set-top boxes and printers. A short-term measurement of a home’s utility meter can provide surprisingly good estimates of total standby power if certain precautions are taken. The large variation in the standby power of appliances providing the same service demonstrates that manufacturers are able to reduce standby losses without degrading performance. Replacing existing units with appliances using 1 W or less of standby power would reduce standby power use by 68%, achieving a 7% reduction in annual electricity consumption. At least 70% of new appliance purchases in these homes will have standby power consumption.

SN - 02694042 AB - Previous studies have found that mean-residential-radon (Rn) levels for U.S. counties are negatively associated with age-adjusted county rates of lung-cancer mortality (LCM), after adjustments for potentially confounding factors. Those results may be due to (a) confounding unaddressable by any county-level (‘ecological’) study design, or (b) county-level factors such as Rn/smoking or age/radon correlations or exposure misclassifications from the use of disparate data sources. Possibilities (b) were addressed by comparing age-specific LCM rates for white women in 2821 U.S. counties who died in 1950–54 at age 40+ (∼11% of whom ever smoked), or at age 60+ (∼% of whom ever smoked), to county Rn levels newly estimated from U.S. Rn, climatic and geological-survey data. Significant negative LCM v Rn trends were found for both age groups, after adjusting for age and subsets of 21 county-level socioeconomic, climatic and other factors. Negative trends were largest for counties with ≤ 100 Bq m-3 Rn (p ≤ 0.00087; 420 analyses). Adjusted relative risk (RRadj) for LCM was significantly elevated (1 < [95% conf. limits on RRadj] ≤ 1.46) in 43 of 210 analyses comparing LCM rates in counties with > 150 Bq m-3v 65–100 Bq m-3 Rn, most involving adjustment for climate- and education-related factors likely to have influenced exposure to indoor air contaminants such as Rn and cigarette smoke. Though inconclusive due to potential ecological-fallacy-related confounding that could not be controlled, results from this ecological study are most consistent with a U-shaped dose-response relationship between 1950–54 LCM risk and U.S. residential radon in white women who predominantly never smoked.

SN - 09430105 AB - Intrinsic biodegradation of toluene coupled with the microbial reduction of ferric iron (Fe(III)) as the terminal electron acceptor was studied by using laboratory column experiments under continuous flow conditions. Columns were packed with contaminated aquifer sediment and N2-purged groundwater taken from the western part of the Gardermoen aquifer. The columns were operated anaerobically at 8 °C (in-situ temperature). Chloride was initially used to characterize flow properties of the columns. Intrinsic biodegradation of toluene, including abiotic loss and biological loss, was estimated by comparing breakthrough curves of toluene for live columns and sterilized control columns based on mass balance in steady-state conditions. The column experiments were run at two different flow velocities. The estimated average intrinsic rate was –0.73 and –0.53 mM day–1 for pore-water velocities of 1.75 and 2.68 cm h–1, respectively, corresponding to –0.27 and –0.22 mM day–1 in biological loss rate. The results indicate that intrinsic biodegradation of toluene could be used as an efficient remediation approach for contaminated groundwater at the Gardermoen fire-fighting training site.

This crossover is a general feature of soft mode ferroelectrics with random site dipolar impurities, or polar nanodomains, and results from a large decrease with pressure in the correlation length among polar nanodomains--a unique property of soft mode, or highly polarizable, ferroelectrics. The physical mechanism for the crossover and some relevant theoretical models are discussed. An analogy between increasing pressure and increasing chemical substitution at 1 bar for inducing the crossover is pointed out, but it is the pressure results that reveal the essential physics.

AFM images revealed the presence of ∼ 0.1 to 1 μm-wide flat terraces delimited by steps of one to several unit cells in height. These steps follow approximately directions given by the intersection of growth faces. Modeling of X-ray reflectivity data indicates that surface silica groups on flat terraces have only one free Si-O bond each (presumably hydroxylated), except for some having two free Si-O bonds observed on a single (100) surface. Vertical relaxation of atomic positions (< 0.4 A˚ for terminal oxygens and < 0.2 A˚ for silicon and oxygen atoms fully coordinated to structural tetrahedra) is limited to a depth of 14 A˚. Electron density profiles for all measured interfaces are consistent with a single layer of adsorbed water, with no evidence for additional organization of water molecules into distinct layers extending into the bulk solution. Similar interfacial structures were observed for natural and annealed surfaces of identical crystallographic orientation, indicating that extensive reconstruction of the silica network at the quartz surface did not occur under the annealing conditions.

The ray approximation is valid in the transform space and this makes traveltime tomography for 3D mapping of the electrical conductivity distribution in the subsurface possible. The transform, however, imposes stringent frequency bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio requirements on the data. Here we discuss a laboratory scale experiment designed to collect transform quality EM data, and to demonstrate the practical feasibility of transforming these data to the wavefield domain. We have used the scalable nature of EM fields to design a time-domain experiment using graphite blocks to simulate realistic field conditions while leaving the time scale undisturbed. The spatial dimensions have been scaled down by a factor of a thousand by scaling conductivity up by a factor of a million. The graphite blocks have two holes drilled into them to carry out cross-well and borehole-to-surface experiments. Steel sheets have been inserted between the blocks to simulate a conductive layer. Our experiments show that accurate EM data can be recorded on a laboratory scale model even when the scaling of some features, such as drill-hole diameters, is not maintained. More importantly, the time-domain EM data recorded in cross-well and surface-to-borehole modes can be usefully and accurately transformed to the wavefield domain. The observed wavefield propagation delay is proportional to the direct distance between the transmitter and receiver in a homogeneous medium. In a layered medium, data accuracy is reduced and, hence, our results are not so conclusive. On the basis of the experimental results we conclude that the wavefield transform could constitute a valid approach to the interpretation of accurate, undistorted time-domain data if further improvement in the transform can be realized.

The model is based on fundamental physical laws that govern dislocation motion and their interaction with various defects and interfaces. Particularly, the multi-scale framework merges two scales, the nano-microscale where plasticity is determined by explicit three-dimensional dislocation dynamics analysis providing the material length-scale, and the continuum scale where energy transport is based on basic continuum mechanics laws. The result is a hybrid elasto-viscoplastic simulation model coupling discrete dislocation dynamics with finite element analyses. With this hybrid approach, one can address complex size-dependent problems including, dislocation boundaries, dislocations in heterogeneous structures, dislocation interaction with interfaces and associated shape changes and lattice rotations, as well as deformation in nano-structured materials, localized deformation and shear bands.

Objective range-of-motion measurements were made for cervical rotation, extension/flexion, and lateral flexion before therapy, at the end of each treatment day, and monthly for 3 months. In addition, each patient’s subjective complaints were tabulated before treatment and reevaluated at the last follow-up visit. No additional physical therapy or electrical stimulation was permitted during the follow-up period.Results: At the end of the course of microcurrent therapy, 92% of the 26 patients exhibited improved cervical rotation, 85% had improved cervical extension/flexion, and 81% had improved cervical lateral flexion. Twenty-two patients returned for the 3-month follow-up visit. Of these, 91% had maintained a cervical rotation range of motion greater than their pretherapy measurements. Eighty-two percent maintained improved cervical extension/flexion and 77% maintained improved lateral flexion. When the range-of-motion measurements were stratified by pretreatment severity (severe, moderate, mild, or asymptomatic), the degree of improvement directly correlated with the severity. Thus, patients who had more severe initial symptoms experienced a higher percentage of improvement than did those with milder symptoms. For these patients, the cervical rotation range of motion changed from a baseline of 59° ± 12° to 83° ± 14° at 3 months; flexion/extension improved from 47° ± 10° to 73° ± 13°; and lateral flexion went from 31° ± 7° to 48° ± 9°. Some patients also reported symptom improvement for tongue mobility, facial asymmetry, xerostomia, cervical/facial muscle spasms, trismus, and soft tissue tenderness. No adverse effects were observed.Conclusion: Impedance-controlled microcurrent therapy shows promise for remediation of range-of-motion limitations arising as late effects of radiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer. Additional studies are needed to validate these preliminary results and to optimize the microcurrent treatment protocol, particularly with respect to treatment schedules and combining microcurrent therapy with physical and/or drug therapy.

Initial conditions for each remediation experiment were created by injecting DNAPL as a point source at the top of the chamber and allowing the DNAPL to migrate downward through a water-filled, heterogeneous, sand-pack designed to be evocative of a fluvial depositional environment. This migration process resulted in the DNAPL residing as a series of descending pools. Lateral advection across the chamber was used to introduce the remedial fluids. Photographs and digital image analysis illustrate interactions between the introduced fluids and the DNAPL. In the surfactant experiments, we found that DNAPL configured in a series of pools was easily mobilized. Extreme reductions in DNAPL/water interfacial tension occurred when using the Aerosol MA surfactant, resulting in mobilization into low permeability regions and thus confounding the remediation process. More modest reductions in interfacial tension occurred when using the Tween 80 surfactant resulting in modest mobilization. In this experiment, capillary forces remained sufficient to exclude DNAPL migration into low permeability regions allowing the excellent solubilizing properties of the surfactant to recover almost 90% of the DNAPL within 8.6 pore volumes. Injection of a potassium permanganate solution resulted in precipitation of MnO2, a reaction product, creating a low-permeability rind surrounding the DNAPL pools. Formation of this rind hindered contact between the permanganate and the DNAPL, limiting the effectiveness of the remediation. From these experiments, we see the value of performing visualization experiments to evaluate the performance of proposed techniques for DNAPL remediation.

The CWF was developed to immobilize radioactive salt wastes generated during the electrometallurgical treatment of spent sodium-bonded nuclear fuels. An interlaboratory study was conducted to measure the precision of PCTs conducted with the CWF for comparison with the precision of PCTs conducted with HLW glasses. The six independent sets of triplicate PCT results generated in the study were used to calculate the intralaboratory and interlaboratory consistency based on the concentrations of Al, B, Na, and Si in the test solutions. The results indicate that PCTs can be conducted as precisely with the CWF as with HLW glasses. For example, the values of the reproducibility standard deviation for Al, B, Na, and Si were 1.36, 0.347, 3.40, and 2.97 mg/l for PCT with CWF. These values are within the range of values measured for borosilicate glasses, including reference HLW glasses.

YXKO homologues are broadly distributed and are by and large described as proteins with unknown function. The YXKO protein has an α/β fold and shows high structural homology to the members of a ribokinase-like superfamily. However, YXKO is the only member of this superfamily known to form tetramers. Putative binding sites for adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a substrate, and Mg2+-binding sites were revealed in the structure of the protein, based on high structural similarity to ATP-dependent members of the superfamily. Two adjacent monomers contribute residues to the active site. The crystal structure provides valuable information about the YXKO protein’s tertiary and quaternary structure, the biochemical function of YXKO and its homologues, and the evolution of its ribokinase-like superfamily.

A pressure differential >100 can be maintained between the ion trap and microprobe. The well-focused secondary ion beam can transit a small (2 mm) diameter tube, but gas flow from ion trap to microprobe is impeded. This pressure differential allows the microprobe to retain imaging capability. Ion trap and microprobe data systems are integrated by taking advantage of the highly reproducible periodicity of the ion trap operating in resonant ejection mode and asynchronous signal and data acquisition afforded by commercially available interface cards. Secondary ion mass spectra and images obtained indicate an approximately 10-fold improvement in sensitivity, although preliminary evidence indicates low (<1%) trapping efficiency. Image data acquisition using the ion trap for mass analysis requires at least 10 times as much time compared to using a quadrupole mass filter because the mass-selected instability mode is used for mass analysis, i.e., mass resolution in the ion trap is not continuous as it is in the quadrupole.

The specific types of linking which have been addressed in most detail in recent years are those having to do with the links between journal articles. These would include the links from citation metadata to the electronic full-text article and links from references following an article (the bibliography) directly to the referred citation and/or article. A basic concept is that there must be a way to identify the work to be ‘linked-to.’ A second concept is that in order to ‘link-to’ an outside system, there must be an identifiable syntax, which often includes an identifier, for creating a query into that system to find the correct article. In this paper we focus on experiences in linking from an A&I database record to full-text and linking from a bibliography to full-text. Accomplishing this required implementing a system that uses metadata to determine the identifiers and the required elements for various ‘link-to’ syntaxes across disparate systems.

Estrogenic response was evaluated by measuring vitellogenin (VTG) and estrogen receptor (ER) expression in cytosolic fractions of whole body homogenates. Concentrations of the presumptive endocrine disruptors in the effluents were also measured. VTG and ER levels in sewage-exposed fish were 3–5 times that observed in controls. Combined concentrations of estradiol and estrone ranged from 5 to 13 ng/l and nonylphenol-ethoxylate metabolites (NPEOs: 4-nonylphenol, and 1-, 2-, and 3-nonylphenol-ethoxylates) ranged from 180 to 470 μg/l in chlorinated effluent. Results indicate that both ER and VTG can be used as biomarkers for endocrine disruption in larval fish, and that 4-day exposure to sewage effluent is sufficient to elicit significant expression of these markers in sunshine bass larvae. The extremely higher concentrations of NPEOs found in effluent relative to hormones (approximately 40,000-fold) indicates that surfactant metabolites may be contributing significantly to the estrogenic effects observed.

High-temperature ZrO2-based insulation ceramic coatings were produced on Ag and Ag/AgMg sheathed Bi-2212 superconducting tapes by the reel-to-reel sol–gel technique for magnet technology. The samples produced were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These coatings are exposed to thermal loading under several annealing conditions. The residual stresses in 8-μm-thick coatings, as well as changes during thermal cycling, were simulated by finite element analysis (FEA). It was found that the shear stress values of ZrO2 coatings in the interface were very low, and the maximum shear stress was 47 Pa for 8-μm-thick coatings. It was determined that the highest fracture intensity was 1.09×10−4 MN m−3/2, and the fracture intensity decreased as a function of distance from the initial crack.

The results, which cover four orders of magnitude in strain rate, show an increasing apparent stress exponent and an increasing apparent activation energy with decreasing temperature. It is shown that the 2219 aluminum alloy exhibits threshold behavior, like aluminum alloys produced via powder metallurgy technique. The introduction of a threshold stress into the analysis leads to stress exponent of ∼7 and a true activation energy of about 90 kJ mol−1 in the temperature range 250–450 °C. At T=500 °C, the true stress exponent, n, is equal to 5 and true activation energy is equal to 143 kJ mol−1. The normalized threshold stress exhibits a strong temperature dependence. The value of the energy term, Qo, is about 35 kJ mol−1 in the temperature range 250–450 °C and tends to decrease at higher temperature. The operating deformation mechanism is discussed in terms of the transition from low temperature climb to high temperature climb with increasing temperature.

Based on our observation of the force required to break the tube, a tensile strength of 0.15 TPa was computed. From corresponding bending studies on such nanotubes, the Young''s modulus was estimated to be 0.9 TPa (0.8 TPa after ‘sub continuum’ corrections). These results suggest a strength that is a large fraction of the elastic modulus, although previous measurements of their elastic stiffness have yielded higher modulus values, by as much as a factor of 2. The result does indicate that individual nanotubes can fail as essentially defect-free materials. Furthermore, we observed no obvious reduction in cross-sectional area prior to the failure. In addition, the bending experiments revealed a remarkable flexibility in these tubes. These unique properties support the potential of nanotubes as reinforcement fibers in structural materials.

Elongated grains inclined by 25° to the longitudinal direction were developed and these grains contained high-density twins. TEM analysis of the twins revealed that their twin plane is {101¯1} and the twins are accompanied with dislocations on non-basal planes. These results suggest that the severe plastic deformation imposed on titanium via ECA pressing is accommodated mainly by the {101¯1} twinning, rather than dislocation slips commonly observed in pressing of other metals such as aluminum and steel. The twinning modes that might accommodate the severe strain were proposed based on the dislocation slip systems observed during the pressing.

T1 - Manipulation with molecules JO - Materials Today JF - Materials Today Y1 - 2002/09// VL - 5 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 20 SN - 13697021 AB - Photonic molecules are mesoscopic hierarchical structures, constructed from ‘monomer’ units with typical dimensions of 1–5 μm, which function as coupled optical resonators. These structures are so named because they confine electromagnetic fields in modes that are closely analogous to bonding and antibonding electronic molecular orbitals in real molecules. Recent experimental advances have shown that photonic molecules can be fabricated in a variety of ways with different functionality. We review here recent work in this newly developing interdisciplinary field that blends chemistry, materials science, and optical physics. Finally, we speculate on possible applications and future research directions.For many years now, researchers in materials and photonics have been keenly interested in the design and fabrication of structures that confine and manipulate electromagnetic fields on length scales comparable to optical wavelengths. The ultimate goal is an all-optical information processing and computation platform using photons in ways analogous to electrons in silicon devices on similar length scales. Specific focus areas such as wafer-scale integration, parallel processing, and frequency management (e.g. add-drop filters), on micron or sub-micron length scales are active areas of photonics research. While a great deal of progress has been made in the burgeoning field of microphotonics, we are still a long way off from realizing important goals such as the optical transistor and all-optical integrated circuits.

Through model simulations we show how changing the ligand concentration, and consequently the concentration of receptor aggregates, can change the nature of a cellular response as well as its amplitude. We illustrate the value of the model in analyzing experimental data by using it to show that the intrinsic rate of dephosphorylation of the FcϵRI γ immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells is much faster than the observed rate, provided that all of the cytosolic Syk is available to receptors.

In this manuscript, we describe a combined theoretical and experimental approach based on multiparameter flow cytometry for measuring the time course of ligand induced aggregation of IgE–FcϵRI on RBL cells. By fluorescently labeling both the ligand and surface IgE (sIgE), we have developed an assay that permits us to simultaneously measure both occupancy of sIgE combining sites and association of antigen with the cell surface. This allows for a direct calculation of the degree of receptor aggregation present on the cell. By employing new mixing technologies developed for flow cytometry, we are able to look at aggregation in the sub second time domain. To extend our work, we have synthesized a new set of chemically well defined ligands (of valences 1–3) to use as probes in our studies. We show that the magnitude of the cellular response is dramatically increased as the valence of our ligand is raised from two to three.

However, little is known about chitin responses in the model plant Arabidopsis . We describe here a large-scale characterization of gene expression patterns in Arabidopsis in response to chitin treatment using an Arabidopsis microarray consisting of 2375 EST clones representing putative defence-related and regulatory genes. Transcript levels for 71 ESTs, representing 61 genes, were altered three-fold or more in chitin-treated seedlings relative to control seedlings. A number of transcripts exhibited altered accumulation as early as 10 min after exposure to chitin, representing some of the earliest changes in gene expression observed in chitin-treated plants. Included among the 61 genes were those that have been reported to be elicited by various pathogen-related stimuli in other plants. Additional genes, including genes of unknown function, were also identified, broadening our understanding of chitin-elicited responses. Among transcripts with enhanced accumulation, one cluster was enriched in genes with both the W-box promoter element and a novel regulatory element. In addition, a number of transcripts had decreased abundance, encoding several proteins involved in cell wall strengthening and wall deposition. The chalcone synthase promoter element was identified in the upstream regions of these genes, suggesting that pathogen signals may suppress the expression of some genes. These data indicate that Arabidopsis should be an excellent model to elucidate the mechanisms of chitin elicitation in plant defence.

JO - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society JF - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Y1 - 2002/09//9/1/2002 VL - 335 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 177 EP - 188 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 00358711 AB - Abstract The X-ray-bright Seyfert 1 galaxy III Zw 2 was observed with XMM–Newton in 2000 July. Its X-ray spectrum can be described by a power law of photon index Γ= 1.7 and an extremely broad (FWHM∼ 140 000 km s[sup -1] ) Fe Kα line at 6.44 keV. The iron line has an equivalent width of ∼800 eV. To study the long-term X-ray behaviour of the source we have analysed 25 yr of data, from 1975 to 2000. There is no evidence of significant intrinsic absorption within the source or of a soft X-ray excess in the XMM or archival data. We do not detect rapid X-ray variability (a few × 10[sup 3] s ) during any of the individual observations; however, on longer time-scales (a few years) the X-ray light curve shows 10-fold flux variations. We infer a black hole mass of ∼10[sup 9] M[sub ⊙] (from Hβ FWHM) for III Zw 2 which is much higher than some previous estimates. A comparison of X-ray variability with light curves at other wavelengths over a 25-yr period reveals correlated flux variations from radio to X-ray wavelengths. We interpret the variable radio to optical emission as synchrotron radiation, self-absorbed in the radio/millimetre region, and the X-rays mainly as a result of Compton up-scattering of low-energy photons by the population of high-energy electrons that give rise to the synchrotron radiation.

As expected, isobar separation does improve by allowing more energy loss (thicker absorbers), but such gains could be realized only after achieving good absorber homogeneity. For heavy ions accelerated to low and moderate energies (<30 MeV/A), we found that when homogenous absorbers are used, the largest impediment to achieving good isobar separation rests with uncertainties in energy caused by straggling in the absorber. Measurements of beam energy loss and energy spread were shown to come close to predicted values when accounting for both collisional and charge-exchange contributions to the calculated energy straggling. Reliable prediction of energy straggling then allowed us to study the efficacy of this method for isobar separation when applied to different mass ranges and beam energies. Time-of-flight was used to measure energy loss since this method allows handling of counting rates in excess of 1 MHz and the demands on timing detector resolution and length of flight path were moderate for all cases under study here. Partial separation in a most difficult case, an analyzed beam of A=132 isobars at energies near 3 MeV/A has been demonstrated. The time-of-flight information can be added to the data stream for events of interest, as an additional parameter (tag) to the online data stream. Such event-by-event tagging enables one to study the effect of difference in isobaric mixture in the beam on the reaction outcome even when isobar separation is not complete.

We present the first quantitative nondestructive assay of the plutonium content of fast-breeder reactor spent-fuel assemblies while still underwater in their facility storage pond. We have calibrated and installed an underwater neutron coincidence counter (Spent Fuel Coincidence Counter (SFCC)) in the BN-350 reactor spent-fuel pond in Aqtau, Kazakhstan. A procedure has been developed to convert singles and doubles (coincidence) neutron rates observed by the SFCC into the total plutonium content of a given BN-350 spent-fuel assembly. The plutonium content has been successfully determined for spent-fuel assemblies with a contact radiation level as high as ∼105 Rads/h. Using limited facility information and multiple measurements along the length of spent-fuel assemblies, the combined measurement and facility declaration error is ∼8%. A simplified one-point measurement procedure leads to a combined measurement and facility declaration error of ∼13%.

A two-layer electrodeposition process was used to prepare Tl–Ba–Ca–Cu–O films with Tl-1212 and Tl-2212 stoichiometry. Electrodeposited Tl-films were also deposited with Bi and Sr substituted for the Tl and Ba, respectively and also reacted using cation exchange to attempt formation of Hg-1212. The superconducting transition temperature for the “non-substituted” films improved from 97 to 120 K after the cation-exchange process with a critical current density exceeding 2×106 at 5 K in zero field. The cation-exchange process for the Bi, Sr substituted films appears to be more difficult with no marked improvement in superconducting properties.

The oxide layer sequence, YBCO/YSZ/CeO2/Ni (YSZ signifies yttria-stabilized zirconia) was the same in each sample, but different deposition techniques were used to deposit the buffer layers. The thicknesses of all three oxide layers varied from sample to sample. A columnar sub-grain structure composed of equiaxed sub-grains in the plane of the film was observed in the YBCO layer of each sample. The sub-grain shape and local mosaic spread (3°) appeared to be largely insensitive to the surface topography, density, or method of depositing the YSZ layer immediately below. The sub-grain size (0.2–1.2 μm) increased with film thickness (0.2–2.3 μm), but showed no obvious correlation with the microstructure of the underlying YSZ. The measured misorientation angles (θ) at individual sub-grain boundaries suggested that a large fraction of the boundaries in the sub-grain boundary network have θ in the range of 2–3°. For most boundaries, the measured θ was below the 5° “threshold” angle for weak link behavior. Thus, a representative picture of the sub-grain boundary network above a single grain of nickel in a film of sub-micron thickness might be a honeycomb shaped arrangement of 2.5° [0 0 1] tilt boundaries spaced 0.25 μm apart and containing dislocations at a spacing of 10 nm. This structure probably has consequences for the structure of grain boundaries in the YBCO that are replicated from the Ni template below. The superposition of the Ni grain boundary network with the grain boundary network due to mosaic spread almost certainly introduces substantial variations of θ along such boundaries on the sub-micron to micron length scale.

In the experiments small Be mirror samples were exposed to D + ions of fixed energy in the range from 0.05 to 1.35 keV at deuterium pressure of (3-5)×10 -2  Pa, and step by step the normal incident reflectivity of the samples was measured after every exposure. The observed dependence of the reflectivity on the thickness of the sputtered layer agrees with an assumption that under D + ion bombardment there occurs the transformation of the BeO surface layer into the layer of hydroxide, Be(OD) 2 . The mass loss at early stage of ion bombardment, when such a transformation takes place, is negligible, and only after much longer exposures the reflectivity is slowly diminishing due to changing the surface layer morphology. The exposed mirrors heating up to >300°C during one hour leads to restoration of their reflectance, probably due to the backward process of BeO layer restoration.

The T1,C relaxation curves of the intermediate and amorphous components were found to be mono-exponential. The intermediate component contains 23±5% of the CH2 segments in the unaged sample and has an T1,C relaxation constant of 1.4±0.3 s. γ-Irradiation caused a slight decrease in the amount of intermediate component to 19±5% and an increase of the relaxation constant to 1.8±0.3 s. The subsequent annealing of the irradiated sample resulted in an additional increase of the relaxation constant to 2.1 s and a slight loss of crystallinity. The amorphous T1,C relaxation constants were found to be identical in all three samples and have a value of 0.38±0.03 s. At ambient temperature, the crystalline phase was found to relax via chain diffusion from the intermediate component. The rate of helical jumps was twice as fast in the irradiated and irradiated+annealed samples compared with the unaged material.

The two-dimensional system Sn/Ge(1 1 1)-(√ of 3×3)R30° is an excellent example. The surface undergoes a gradual (3×3×√ of 3)R30° is an excellent example. The surface undergoes a gradual (3×3)R30° is an excellent example. The surface undergoes a gradual (√ of 3×3×√ of 3) to (3×3) phase transition upon cooling, and much debate has arisen over the exact physical mechanism responsible for the transition. Concepts such as Fermi surface nesting, charge density waves, Jahn–Teller distortions, metal–insulator fluctuations, and soft phonons have been invoked to explain the experimental findings, and there is now a growing understanding that substitutional Ge defects play an important role. A brief historical overview is presented of the work done on the Sn/Ge(1 1 1) system and of the different reported explanations of the phase transition. An extensive discussion of the phase-transition mechanism, and of the role played by defects, is provided. It is argued that the transition should be classified as displacive-like rather than order–disorder-like, but that defects obscure a clear distinction. The definitive experiments to test this conclusion are suggested.

The insulation coatings were annealed at 850 °C for 20 h under O2 flow. The surface morphology of coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Dielectric constant and high voltage breakdown of insulation on tapes was measured by a multimeter and a standard high voltage breakdown power supply. SEM observations showed that MgO–ZrO2 insulation coatings possess homogenous and crack structures on AgMg/Bi-2212 tapes. It was found that dielectric constant and high breakdown voltage values of MgO–ZrO2 coatings increased with increasing MgO content in ZrO2 and coating thickness. Also, it was measured that the dielectric constant values of coatings with and without epoxy were 33 and 47, respectively. The maximum high breakdown voltage value was determined to be 1100 V in sample with 24 mol% MgO–ZrO2 coating.

Three methods of measuring and describing this pool in soil are: (1) chloroform fumigation–extraction (CFE), (2) substrate-induced respiration, and (3) total extractable phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA). This study was conducted to seek a relationship between microbial PLFA and measures of SMB. Microbial PLFA was best predicted by CFE (R2=0.77); 1 nmol of PLFA corresponded to a flush of 2.4 μg C released by fumigation. This conversion factor will be useful in discussions of microbial populations and diversity and allow comparisons to literature in which only CFE is used to describe the size of the microbial biomass.

Electronic and vibrational properties of the SWNT and Br2 are studied for various bromine concentrations. A drastic change in the charge transfer, bromine stretching-mode, and bromine bond-length is observed when the bromine–bromine distance decreases. Calculated electronic structures show that, at high bromine concentrations, the bromine ppσ* level broadens due to the interbromine interaction. These states overlap with the electronic bands of the SWNT near the Fermi level which results in a substantial charge transfer from carbon to bromine.

We describe here, our investigations of ion beam sputtering of plant cell wall material and ion beam-induced damage to the cell wall. The presently available ion implantation simulation programs are not adequate, and experimental results are not available, either. We have indirectly estimated the surface sputtering yield of plant cell wall composed of C6H12O6-compound by remodeling the cell wall material so as to use partial mass densities and surface binding energies in the available ion implantation programs. For bombardment with a 30-keV Ar-ion beam, the sputtering yield from the cell wall is estimated to be approximately 10 atoms/ion, which is somewhat greater than the value predicted by direct program simulation, but in good agreement with experimental results. We have also performed electron microscopy on the ion-bombarded cell walls. The micrographs show novel microcrater-like structures on the cell wall subsequent to ion bombardment, which could be the ion beam-generated pathways for exogenous macromolecule transfer.

Ar ion beams at an energy of 26 keV and fluences ranging from 5×1014 to 4×1015 ions/cm2 were used to bombard bacterial cells of Escherichia coli strain DH5α. The bacteria were able to survive the low-temperature and low-pressure treatment conditions for at least a few hours. The ion bombardment created novel crater-like structures on the surface of the bacterial cell envelope, as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Four variously sized DNA plasmids carrying the ampicillin resistance gene were transferred and expressed in E. coli cells bombarded with ion fluences of 1×1015 and 2×1015 ions/cm2. The dependence of the DNA transfer on the plasmid DNA size, ion fluence and incubation time all suggests that the ion beam-induced surface crater-like structures provide the pathway for the mechanism that is responsible for the ion beam-induced DNA transfer.

In a series of first-principles calculations for transition and noble metal nucleation on MgO(1 0 0), we show that the propensity for neutral anion vacancies to nucleate metal islands is strongly element dependent: To the right in a period, where d-shell filling is substantial, vacancies typically inhibit nucleation, whereas the opposite holds for far-left elements. This bears significant implications for the system-specific design of metal–oxide interface properties.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/09// VL - 38 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 14-1 EP - 14-16 SN - 00431397 AB - A Eulerian perturbation method is applied to study the influence of medium heterogeneity on nonreactive chemical transport in a saturated, fractured porous medium under steady state flow conditions. A dual-permeability model is used to describe the flow and solute transport in the fractured medium [ Gerke and van Genuchten, 1993a, 1993b]. The model involves two overlaying continua at the macroscopic level, a fracture pore system, and a less permeable matrix pore system. Solute advection and dispersion take place in both pore systems. A first-order mass diffusion model is used to describe the mass diffusion between fracture and matrix regions. The hydraulic conductivities in both fracture and matrix regions, K f and K m, and the interregional mass diffusion coefficient, a, are assumed to be spatial random variables to account for heterogeneity of the medium. A closed form analytical solution for the mean concentrations in the fracture and matrix regions is explicitly given in Fourier and Laplace transforms and numerically inverted to real space via fast Fourier transform. The simulation results demonstrate the significant effects of heterogeneous distributions of K f, K m, and a on solute transport process. Sensitivity studies show the dominant influence of heterogeneity in fracture in comparison with that in matrix. In some special scenarios of heterogeneity the dual-permeability model can be simplified to a mobile/immobile model [ Huang and Hu, 2000] or a one-domain model [ Deng et al., 1993]. The developed analytical solution provides a general tool to investigate the effects of various heterogeneities on solute transport in fractured porous media and to analyze the errors introduced through various model simplifications.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/09// VL - 38 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 15-1 EP - 15-9 SN - 00431397 AB - Although considerable progress has been made in understanding unsaturated flow processes in a single fracture, our knowledge of unsaturated flow in fracture networks remains incomplete. In this study, we present a numerical investigation of steady flow behavior in two-dimensional fracture networks containing thousands of fractures within a 10 m × 10 m domain. Simulation results indicate that flow paths are generally vertical (as a result of gravity-dominated flow behavior), with subhorizontal fractures providing pathways for communications between vertical flow paths, inducing horizontal spreading of these paths. Although many fractures with small trace lengths do not contribute to the global flow through a fracture network, some of them are still connected to the major flow paths and thus contribute to the overall connectivity of the network. They may also considerably affect the interaction between fractures and the matrix. On the basis of our simulation results we hypothesize that average spacing between flow paths in a layered system tends to increase with depth as long as flow is gravity driven. We also discuss the concept of an influence zone of a capillary barrier to describe seepage from fracture networks to underground openings (drifts). Our simulation results imply that three-dimensional fracture network models are needed for providing a more realistic evaluation of capillary barrier effects.

SN - 15677230 AB - Dispersion models require as input various geometrical parameters to calculate the flow field and dispersion characteristics in the urban environment. As a result of recent advances in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing, databases of the actual 3-D geometry of city centre areas are now increasingly available. In this work we outline a procedure to reduce this large amount of data to a structured input for urban pollution dispersion models, i.e. to extract the important flow and dispersion parameters from the urban databases. Based on a review of the scientific literature, we have identified a number of parameters relevant to the modelling of pollution dispersion and atmospheric flows in urban areas. These parameters are: the plan and frontal area densities, the plan and frontal area density as a function of height, the distribution of heights, their standard deviation, the aerodynamic roughness length and the sky view factor. These parameters are obtained by analysing urban Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) which are regularly spaced grids of elevation values. Examples of the parameters calculated from high-resolution databases (with pixel size of about 1 m) for three European (London, Toulouse and Berlin) and two North American (Salt Lake City and Los Angeles) cities are presented and discussed. The calculated aerodynamic roughness length was smaller for the European cities than for the North American ones. A multiplicative correction factor κ to the aerodynamic roughness length is proposed to include the effect of the variability of the building heights.

This approach combined atom location by channeling enhanced microanalysis (ALCHEMI) determinations of atomic site occupancies and vacancy concentration measurements. The triple defect structure was observed across the entire phase field. Qualitative thermodynamic predictions such as that Fe anti-site are more stable than Ni anti-sites were confirmed. However, in some portions of the phase field it was found that Ni anti-site concentrations were higher than expected from simplistic thermodynamic predictions of site preference. Such predictions are clearly inadequate if a quantitative determination of site occupancies is desired. The importance of this type of characterization in interpreting solid solution hardening (SSH) in ordered compounds was illustrated by considering three portions of the (Ni,Fe)Al phase field. In all three cases the solute atoms did not directly harden, but affected the hardness by altering the concentrations of other point defects.

Facile oxidation kinetics of CO on Ru(101¯0) are observed, in contrast with a slow reaction on Ru(0001). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements confirmed that spontaneous deposition of Pt produces island-like structures on both single crystal Ru surfaces. CO oxidation on a bimetallic Pt/Ru(101¯0) surface with a Pt coverage of approximately one monolayer occurs at potentials that are 140 mV more negative than those for bare Pt. This potential is, however, more positive than the potential of the onset of the oxidation on Ru(101¯0). IR spectroscopy shows one peak for linearly adsorbed CO on bare and Pt-modified Ru(101¯0) surfaces, while two peaks are visible for the Pt-modified Ru(0001) structure. A single broad peak for the bimetallic Pt/Ru(101¯0) surface may result from addition of the red-shifted peak for Pt and the peak for the Ru(101¯0) substrate. A large red shift of CO on the Pt/Ru(101¯0) surface requires further work to be explained. A negative shift of CO oxidation on Pt/Ru(101¯0) indicates a decrease of the Pt&z.sbnd;CO bond strength on that surface compared with the bond with bulk Pt.

To estimate the reliability of the predictions, the method was calibrated on 131 proteins of known structure. For approximately 60% of the proteins one of the top five models was correctly predicted for 50 or more residues, and for approximately 35%, the correct SCOP superfamily was identified in a structure-based search of the Protein Data Bank using one of the models. This performance is consistent with results from the fourth critical assessment of structure prediction (CASP4). Correct and incorrect predictions could be partially distinguished using a confidence function based on a combination of simulation convergence, protein length and the similarity of a given structure prediction to known protein structures. While the limited accuracy and reliability of the method precludes definitive conclusions, the Pfam models provide the only tertiary structure information available for the 12% of publicly available sequences represented by these large protein families.

In the following Letter, a method that yields isotropic dipolar spectra for a pair of dipole-coupled spins is presented. This is accomplished through a suitable choice of coherence pathways and average Hamiltonians. We present a theoretical explanation as well as an experimental verification for this novel methodology.

We construct a minimal model in 6D where the electroweak SU(2)⊗U(1) gauge group is extended to SU(3), and unified 6D models with the unified SU(5) gauge symmetry extended to SU(6). In these realistic theories the extended gauge group is broken by orbifold boundary conditions, leaving Higgs doublet zero modes which have Yukawa couplings to quarks and leptons on the orbifold fixed points. In one SU(6) model the weak mixing angle receives power law corrections, while in another the fixed point structure forbids such corrections. A 5D model is also constructed in which the Higgs doublet contains the fifth component of the gauge field. In this case Yukawa couplings are introduced as nonlocal operators involving the Wilson line of this gauge field.

We find the uncertainties associated with the choices of renormalization scale and scheme significantly reduced compared to the leading-order result. We include the full dependence on the charm-quark mass mc without any approximations. Using hadronic matrix elements estimated in the literature with lattice QCD we obtain τ(B+)/τ(B0d)=1.053±0.016±0.017, where the effects of unquenching and 1/mb corrections are not yet included.

This type of DNA break is followed by the rapid phosphorylation of Ser-139 in the histone variant H2AX to form γ-H2AX. Here we report efficient in vitro end-joining of reconstituted chromatin containing nucleosomes made with either H2A or H2AX. This reaction is catalyzed by nuclear extracts from human cells and this end-joining is not suppressed by the PI-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin. During the end-joining reaction H2AX is phosphorylated at Ser-139 as detected by immunoblot with specific antibodies and this phosphorylation is inhibited by wortmannin. Therefore, in vitro the DNA end-joining reaction appears to be independent of H2AX phosphorylation.

The inner reflector material is graphite and the outer reflector material is beryllium. The presence of H2O in the target moderates neutrons and leads to a higher absorption loss in the target than is necessary. D2O coolant in the small quantities required minimizes this effect. We have studied the possible improvement in IPNS beam fluxes that would result from changing the coolant from H2O to D2O and the inner reflector from graphite to beryllium. Neutron intensities were calculated for directions normal to the viewed surface of each moderator for four different cases of combinations of target coolant and reflector materials. The simulations reported here were performed using the MCNPX (version 2.1.5) computer program. Our results show that substantial gains in neutron beam intensities can be achieved by appropriate combination of target coolant and reflector materials. The combination of D2O coolant and beryllium inner and outer reflectors improves facility performance about 1.3 times. The purpose of this summary is to report our simulation and to recommend to change target coolant and inner reflector materials based on our simulation results.

A new method is presented for combining a set of alternative metamodels into a single master response surface or Super-Metamodel (SM) that is valid over all of input parameter space.

T1 - Detection and Characterization of Xenon-binding Sites in Proteins by 129Xe NMR Spectroscopy JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2002/09/13/ VL - 322 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 425 SN - 00222836 AB - Xenon-binding sites in proteins have led to a number of applications of xenon in biochemical and structural studies. Here we further develop the utility of 129Xe NMR in characterizing specific xenon–protein interactions. The sensitivity of the 129Xe chemical shift to its local environment and the intense signals attainable by optical pumping make xenon a useful NMR reporter of its own interactions with proteins. A method for detecting specific xenon-binding interactions by analysis of 129Xe chemical shift data is illustrated using the maltose binding protein (MBP) from Escherichia coli as an example. The crystal structure of MBP in the presence of 8 atm of xenon confirms the binding site determined from NMR data. Changes in the structure of the xenon-binding cavity upon the binding of maltose by the protein can account for the sensitivity of the 129Xe chemical shift to MBP conformation. 129Xe NMR data for xenon in solution with a number of cavity containing phage T4 lysozyme mutants show that xenon can report on cavity structure. In particular, a correlation exists between cavity size and the binding-induced 129Xe chemical shift. Further applications of 129Xe NMR to biochemical assays, including the screening of proteins for xenon binding for crystallography are considered.

Different carrier gases (acetylene, ammonia, argon and nitrogen) were made to flow through the precursor reservoir at 20 sccm so that the coating composition could be modified. Deposited coatings had thickness in the range of 300–1000 nm as determined by surface profilometry. Titanium concentrations in the coatings ranged from 10.8 to 15.1 at%. Hardness values of these coatings ranged from ≈8–14 GPa while residual stresses were in the range from −440 to −100 MPa, as determined by nanoindentation and wafer curvature techniques, respectively. Coefficient of friction values ranged from 0.2 to 0.45, and were lowest for coatings with low titanium content. Hardness, coefficient of friction and residual stress increased with increasing titanium content. Wear resistance was determined by a pin-on-disk technique and wear coefficients ranged from 0.005×10−6 to 2×10−6 mm3/N m, increasing with increasing hardness indicating an abrasive wear mechanism.

In the absence of bacteria, pyrolusite and bixbyite oxidized biogenic uraninite (UO2[s]) to soluble U(VI) species, with bixbyite being the most rapid oxidant. The Mn(III/IV) oxides lowered the bioreduction rate of U(VI) relative to rates in their absence or in the presence of gibbsite (Al[OH]3) added as a non-redox-reactive surface. Evolved Mn(II) increased with increasing initial U(VI) concentration in the biotic experiments, indicating that valence cycling of U facilitated the reduction of Mn(III/IV). Despite an excess of the Mn oxide, 43 to 100% of the initial U was bioreduced after extended incubation. Analysis of thin sections of bacterial Mn oxide suspensions revealed that the reduced U resided in the periplasmic space of the bacterial cells. However, in the absence of Mn(III/IV) oxides, UO2(s) accumulated as copious fine-grained particles external to the cell. These results indicate that the presence of Mn(III/IV) oxides may impede the biological reduction of U(VI) in subsoils and sediments. However, the accumulation of U(IV) in the cell periplasm may physically protect reduced U from oxidation, promoting at least a temporal state of redox disequilibria.

The substitution of Fe for Mn decreases the lattice parameter. At 5 K, the Tb(Mn1−xFex)2 alloys exhibit a ferrimagnetic state because of the antiparallel alignment of the magnetic moments of Tb and the Fe+Mn atoms. The Curie temperature increases with increasing x, while remanence and coercivity decrease with x at low temperatures, and increase in the high temperature region. A slope change of the inverse DC magnetic susceptibility, χDC−1, was observed for all alloys and the corresponding temperature increases with increasing x. The temperature dependencies of the inverse AC magnetic susceptibility, (χ′AC)−1, exhibit a peak at temperature close to the Curie temperature of each alloy and follow the Curie–Weiss law above this temperature.

The effect of different prepulse amplitudes at variable main pulse-to-prepulse delays is investigated. For larger prepulses (2.8% and 8%) the peak emission is moved farther away from target surface with increasing delay whereas for the weak prepulse (0.5%) the position of peak emission remains rather stable over a delay range of several nanoseconds. A great deal of structure was observed in the near-field image. The size of the smallest structures detected is consistent with the coherence length-obtained from the corresponding far-field data – at the output aperture. The measurements are compared to the simulations performed with the LASNEX and CRETIN codes. The LASNEX code is used to calculate the hydrodynamic evolution of the plasma and provide the temperatures and densities to the CRETIN code, which then does the kinetics calculations to determine the gain.

We then state the EP Averaging Result—that GLM equations arise from GLM Hamilton’s principles in the EP framework. Next, we derive a new set of approximate small-amplitude GLM equations (gℓm equations) at second order in the fluctuating displacement of a Lagrangian trajectory from its mean position. These equations express the linear and nonlinear back-reaction effects on the Eulerian mean fluid quantities by the fluctuating displacements of the Lagrangian trajectories in terms of their Eulerian second moments. The derivation of the gℓm equations uses the linearized relations between Eulerian and Lagrangian fluctuations, in the tradition of Lagrangian stability analysis for fluids. The gℓm derivation also uses the method of averaged Lagrangians, in the tradition of wave, mean flow interaction (WMFI). The gℓm EP motion equations for compressible and incompressible ideal fluids are compared with the Euler-alpha turbulence closure equations. An alpha model is a GLM (or gℓm) fluid theory with a Taylor hypothesis closure (THC). Such closures are based on the linearized fluctuation relations that determine the dynamics of the Lagrangian statistical quantities in the Euler-alpha closure equations. We use the EP Averaging Result to bridge between the GLM equations and the Euler-alpha closure equations. Hence, combining the small-amplitude approximation with THC yields in new gℓm turbulence closure equations for compressible fluids in the EP variational framework.

The wear-resistance is influenced by adhesive forces between film and substrate, which may be degraded by residual and imposed stresses, leading to delamination and damage of coating. The aim of this work was to find a relationship between physical properties of the coated iron and thermally induced stresses detected by dilatometry. Samples of iron coated with layers of TiN were investigated. In order to obtain more details about the degradation process of adhesion, the dilatometric analysis was carried out simultaneously with differential temperature and magnetometric analysis. The significant increase in thermal response was achieved by applying temperature modulation, a novel method in this field.

The calorimeters have then been applied to find the apparent, reversing heat capacity of polystyrene as a function of frequency in the glass transition region. The first modulation mode consisted of a series of linear heating and cooling segments and produced four harmonics with practically equal temperature amplitudes (1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th), one of lower amplitude (9th), and almost negligible higher harmonics. The second modulation mode is a rather sharp step ending in an isotherm or slow temperature-decrease and leads to a controlled spike in the heat-flow rate response which produces Fourier components of similar amplitudes for all harmonics of the rates of changes of temperature. The apparent, reversing heat capacity is evaluated from the amplitudes of the heat-flow rates and the corresponding sample temperatures or heating-rates. A time-constant or calibration constant which accounts for thermal conductivities and resistances within the calorimeters can be evaluated from the different harmonics of each run. Measurements in the glass transition region have a slow response of the sample. They are evaluated by separating the sample effect from the calorimeter response which can be extrapolated from data gained outside the transition. One measurement is thus sufficient for the evaluation of the frequency dependence of the heat capacity in the glass transition region.

From the voltage response of the cells to the life-cycle profile at each temperature, we separated the overall impedance rise into two simpler terms, Ro (ohmic) and Rp (polarization), using an equivalent circuit model. The Ro data tend to follow the expected trends (40>50>60>70 °C). Although the Rp data trends show that Rp can either decrease or increase asymptotically with time, the overall temperature-dependent behavior is similar to that of Ro. We illustrate the types of processes that can occur in one lithium-ion cell chemistry. Based on the initial rates, the processes are complex. The Ro term dominates the observable cell impedance, but Rp adds a non-trivial contribution.

T1 - Thiol-bearing synthetic peptides retain the antioxidant activity of apolipoproteinA-IMilano JO - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications JF - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications Y1 - 2002/09/20/ VL - 297 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 206 SN - 0006291X AB - Apolipoprotein(apo)A-IMilano (R173C) and apoA-IParis (R151C) are rare cysteine variants of wild-type (WT) apoA-I that possess novel antioxidant properties on phospholipid surfaces. Yet, the two variants differ in their ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation. In this study, we used synthetic peptides (18 mers) to investigate the structural basis for the difference in antioxidant activity between apoA-IMilano and apoA-IParis. A peptide (aa 167-R173C-184) based on the amphipathic α helix harboring the R173C mutation inhibited superoxide anion-mediated oxidation of phospholipid in a dose-dependent manner, but it failed to directly quench superoxide anions in aqueous solution, indicating that the peptide acted at the level of phospholipid to inhibit lipid peroxidation just like the full-length cysteine variant. Peptide 145-R151C-162 based on the helical segment containing R151C exhibited the same capacity as peptide 167-R173C-184 to inhibit lipid peroxidation. Thus, the difference in antioxidant activity between apoA-IMilano and apoA-IParis was not governed by the primary amino acid sequence of their individual amphipathic α helices, rather contextual constraints within the full-length variants set the difference in antioxidant activity. Cysteine-free peptides were weak inhibitors of lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that thiol-bearing helical peptides based on apoA-IMilano may be useful to combat inflammatory related diseases.

The image is obtained by analyzing the Coulomb interaction force between the charged tip and the polar surface, which not only displays striking contrasts between atoms of different charges but also exhibits a short-range exponential decay when increasing the tip–surface distance. Such a CAFM may be useful in imaging all polar surfaces with or without defects. It may also be applied to surfaces which are nonpolar but with significant charge transfer between different atoms due to surface reconstruction.

A super-ferric storage ring has been constructed in which the field is to be known to 0.1 ppm. In addition, a new type of air core superconducting inflector has been developed and constructed, which successfully serves as the injection magnet. The injection magnet cancels the storage ring field, 1.5 T, seen by the entering muon beam very close to the storage ring aperture. At the same time, it gives negligible influence to the knowledge of the uniform main magnetic field in the muon storage region located at just 23 mm away from the beam channel. This was accomplished using a new double cosine theta design for the magnetic field which traps most of the return field, and then surrounding the magnet with a special superconducting sheet which traps the remaining return field. The magnet is operated using a warm-to-cold cryogenic cycle which avoids affecting the precision field of the storage ring. This article describes the design, research development, fabrication process, and final performance of this new type of superconducting magnet.

Indeed the resolution of this spectrometer lie between that routinely achieved by spin echo techniques and the design goal of the high-power target station (HPTS) backscattering spectrometer. This niche of energy resolution is interesting for the study of slow motions of large objects and we are led to the domain of large molecules—polymers and biological molecules.

Experiments were conducted using highly collimated monochromatic X-rays at 20 keV, produced at the National Synchrotron Light Source. This study characterized digital detectors being considered for integration into a synchrotron-based diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) apparatus used for medical imaging research, particularly mammography. These detectors are also being considered for integration into a proposed clinical prototype for DEI-based mammography. While all three systems had comparable image quality, the CCDs had faster readout time than the image plate system. However, the Fuji system had the largest dynamic range (∼105 compared to 104 for CCDs) and the largest active area. The MicroPhotonics XQUIS 1000 had the best spatial resolution as characterized by the point spread function.

Nucleic acids analysis is frequently the method of choice for discriminating between bacteria in complex systems, but standard protocols are difficult to automate and current microfluidic devices are not configured specifically for environmental sample analysis. In this report, we describe the development of an integrated DNA purification and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification system and demonstrate its use for the automated purification and amplification of Geobacter chapellei DNA (genomic DNA or plasmid targets) from sediments. The system includes renewable separation columns for the automated capture and release of microparticle purification matrices, and can be easily reprogrammed for new separation chemistries and sample types. The DNA extraction efficiency for the automated system ranged from 3 to 25%, depending on the length and concentration of the DNA target. The system was more efficient than batch capture methods for the recovery of dilute genomic DNA even though the reagent volumes were smaller than required for the batch procedure. The automated DNA concentration and purification module was coupled to a flow-through, Peltier-controlled DNA amplification chamber, and used to successfully purify and amplify genomic and plasmid DNA from sediment extracts. Cleaning protocols were also developed to allow reuse of the integrated sample preparation system, including the flow-through PCR tube.

Rhodamine B was covalently attached to a 5′-amino-labeled oligonucleotide sequence (23 mer) through a succinimidyl ester intermediate in methanol. The silver surfaces were prepared by depositing a discontinuous layer (9.0 nm) of silver onto glass slides, which had been etched with HF to form a microwell platform, and subsequently modified with a monolayer of mercaptoundecanoic acid. The complementary probe was covalently attached to the silver surfaces using a succinimidyl ester intermediate in acetonitrile. The silver island substrate allows a very large enhancement of the Raman signal of the DNA-Rhodamine B, and clear distinction between hybridized samples and controls on a microwell array sampling platform.

T1 - Structure and mixed spin state of the chloroiron(III) complex of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaphenyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, Fe(dpp)Cl JO - Inorganica Chimica Acta JF - Inorganica Chimica Acta Y1 - 2002/09/26/ VL - 337 M3 - Article SP - 223 SN - 00201693 AB - The chloroiron(III) complex Fe(dpp)Cl (1) of the peripherally crowded 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaphenyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin or dodecaphenylporphyrin (dpp), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, normal-coordinate structural decomposition analysis (NSD), EPR and Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The dpp ligand present in the crystal structure of this molecule is predominantly saddle-shaped. It is also ruffled and slightly domed according to an analysis of the out-of-plane distortions performed by using NSD. This saddle deformation is significantly smaller than those observed in the chloroiron(III) complexes of the β-pyrrole octamethyl and octaethyl substituted tetraphenylporphyrins, Fe(omtpp)Cl and in the two crystalline forms known for Fe(oetpp)Cl (2, 2′). It is similar to that observed in the chloroiron(III) complex of the β-pyrrole hexaethyltetraphenylporphyrin, Fe(hetpp)Cl (6), in which the porphyrin ligand contains only three 3,4-diethyl substituted pyrrole rings. However, this saddle deformation present in 1 is still larger than those observed in all the cytochromes c′ and plant peroxidases whose heme structures were analyzed by NSD. The EPR spectrum of 1 shows that the contribution of the S=3/2 spin state to the S=5/2, 3/2 quantum-mechanically spin-admixed state (QMS) is 6.75%. The Mo¨ssbauer spectrum obtained at room temperature and the magnetic susceptibility measured between 2 and 293 K of a powder sample of 1 are compatible with such a small S=5/2, 3/2 spin admixture. However, although the saddle displacement (sad) of 2.75 A˚ found in Fe(dpp)Cl by NSD is slightly smaller than that of 2.90 A˚ observed in Fe(hetpp)Cl (6) or much smaller than that of 3.40 A˚ found in Fe(oetpp)Cl (2′), the S=3/2 contribution of 6.75% is larger than those observed in the other two compounds of 2.75 and 4.25%, respectively. This relatively large sad displacement of 2.75 A˚ observed in the porphyrin of 1 together with the small S=5/2, 3/2 spin admixture of 6.75% indicates that the saddle distortion alone is probably not sufficient to cause the QMS states observed in several ferricytochromes c′ isolated from photosynthetic bacteria and in some plant peroxidases. The slightly larger S=5/2, 3/2 spin admixture found in 1 (6.75%) relative to that of 2.75% observed in 6 could be related to the larger ruffling of the dpp ring of 1 relative to that of the hetpp ring present in 6. It may be that saddling along with other factors such as specific combinations of non-planar deformations, specific axial ligands and ligand geometries are necessary to realize a substantial S=5/2, 3/2 spin admixture.

We demonstrate that such an analysis can give very useful information about the process of nanocrystal formation and growth. The synthesis of even a small fraction of CdS is readily observable through the appearance of interference fringes since the refractive index of CdS, nCdS, is substantially higher than that of SiO2, nSiO2. Extensive CdS synthesis, resulting in strong fringes, occurs for Ta⩾500°C. In addition, for higher Ta, a peak in R with a maximum at 2.45 eV (R2.45) becomes discernable indicating the formation of larger nanocrystals. It is shown that the blue shift of R2.45 relative to its energy in the bulk CdS closely corresponds to the shift of bandgap, Eg, with crystallite size and may, therefore, be used to estimate the size of the nanocrystals.

Energetic deposition can be defined as a film deposition process in which a significant fraction of particles arrives at the substrate surface with a kinetic energy greater than the bulk displacement energy. Examples of energetic deposition processes include ion-beam-assisted deposition, plasma immersion ion deposition, pulsed laser deposition, and cathodic arc deposition. This work focuses on the production, properties, and use of filtered cathodic arc plasmas. The pulsed biasing technique of metal plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition extends the possibilities of tuning film properties such as density, stress, adhesion, surface roughness, hardness, elastic modulus, and optical constants via the energy of film-forming ions. The difference between kinetic and total ion energy, atomic scale heating, nucleation, intermixing, subplantation, and the relaxation of compressive stress by relatively high-energy ions are discussed.

Neutral emissions, including NO, O2, N2, and Na are observed at all three wavelengths. At 193 nm, intense atomic N and O emissions are also observed, possibly due to a 1+1 excitation involving the π*←π transition in the nitrate ion (centered at 6 eV) followed by excitation to a higher excited state. This transition is not efficiently excited at the other two wavelengths. At 248 nm, much of the emission is attributed to thermally assisted, dissociative electron/hole attachment. Although 157 nm photons do not excite the π*←π transition efficiently, the resulting NO emission is found to be quite intense: on a per unit energy (or per photon) basis, 157 nm photons are much more efficient in decomposing nitrate anions than 193 nm photons. Intense ion emission (principally Na+ and NO+) is observed at 193 and 157 nm, with weaker Na+ emission at 248 nm. The ion intensities show high-order fluence dependence, consistent with photoelectronic emission involving sequential photon absorption as described earlier for 248 nm irradiation [J. Appl. Phys. (80) (1996) 6452].

Short SWNTs were synthesized using nanosecond Nd:YAG-laser ablation of a C–Ni–Co target inside a high-temperature laser vaporization reactor by controlling and restricting the growth times. The time spent by the plume inside the oven was varied by positioning the target at various locations and imaging the plume using Rayleigh scattered light induced by a 308 nm XeCl laser. Statistical analysis of the short SWNT length distribution was performed using TEM images. The upper and lower limits of the growth rates of SWNTs were estimated as 0.6 and 5.1 μm/s. The particle temperature within the propagating plume was measured at different times after ablation through time-resolved measurements of the plume’s blackbody emission. The onset of SWNT growth was estimated based on the time when the particle temperature drops below the eutectic temperature for C/Co, C/Ni. For the first time, absorption spectroscopy was employed to study the aggregation of carbon nanoparticles in the propagating plume. It was shown that the aggregation rate increases rapidly at lower oven temperatures. A general picture of SWNT growth by laser ablation based on imaging, spectroscopy, and pyrometry of ejected material at different times after ablation is discussed.

In contrast, a considerable thermal velocity component is observed at higher excitation energies and is attributed to formation and subsequent diffusion of transient centers from within the bulk crystal to the surface. Excitation with a nanosecond laser at 3.5 eV also produces neutral bromine emission with a seemingly thermal velocity profile, but a near three-photon power dependence. Furthermore, the relative Br* yield is greatly enhanced. We propose an explanation for these results based on formation and secondary excitation of transient defect centers in KBr by individual nanosecond pulses. Photodecomposition of newly formed transient centers leads to emission of Br and Br* in a “near thermal” velocity distribution. These results are likely general for alkali halides and are consistent with a recently described theoretical model.

The effect of the time delay of the ArF laser after the ablation laser irradiation on the structures of Pt/TiO2 nanocomposite films was studied. It was inferred from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the as-deposited films that the coordination structures around Ti atoms in the films were affected by the time delays. Single phase TiO2 in anatase form was obtained in the annealed Pt/TiO2 nanocomposite films prepared at 200–250 ns of the time delays, which suggests that the effective photoionization of the ablated species could take place by the ArF laser irradiation in this time range and affect the structure of the deposits.

Current research focuses on understanding of mechanisms of arylamine carcinogenesis, such as the role of metabolic processing, DNA adduct formation, and mutagenesis, and learning more about the molecular alterations in carcinomas induced by these compounds. Furthermore, research to identify human exposures, including developing more sensitive methods for analyzing environmental samples and identifying suitable biomarkers are important aspects of contemporary investigations. In addition, better evaluation of the risk of these compounds in human cancer especially with regard to the impact of genetic polymorphisms is a major focus of research in this field. Although current population studies have sometimes been described as equivocal, improved tools for epidemiology, refined human biomonitoring methods and collaborative endeavors to study multiple population groups now provide a better means to ultimately define the role of arylamines in human carcinogenesis. The purpose of the Eighth International Conference on Carcinogenic/Mutagenic N-Substituted Aryl Compounds, held in Washington, DC, 12–14 November 2001, was to explore the current scope of studies on arylamine carcinogenesis among scientists in basic research and epidemiology and to discuss future research priorities. With the intent of providing a view to the current field of research on aromatic amines, this review presents a synopsis of the Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference and highlights the manuscripts contained in this special issue of Mutation Research.

To gain insight into the genomic alterations associated with PhIP-induced carcinogenesis, we used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to examine chromosomal abnormalities in rat mammary gland carcinomas induced by PhIP. The alterations were compared to those induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), a potent and well-studied mammary carcinogen. All six PhIP-induced carcinomas examined by CGH showed losses in the same specific regions of chromosomes 2, 3, 11, 18, and X, whereas three carcinomas induced by DMBA showed no consistent patterns of chromosomal gain or loss. This indicates that PhIP has a recognizable cytogenetic signature in rat mammary gland carcinomas.

Laboratory-cooked beef, pork, and chicken are capable of producing tens of nanograms of MeIQx, IFP, and PhIP per gram of meat and smaller amounts of other heteroyclic amines. Well-done restaurant-cooked beef, pork, and chicken may contain PhIP and IFP at concentrations as high as tens of nanograms per gram and MeIQx at levels up to 3 ng/g. Although well-done chicken breast prepared in the laboratory may contain large amounts of PhIP, a survey of flame-grilled meat samples cooked in private homes showed PhIP levels in beef steak and chicken breast are not significantly different (P=0.36). The extremely high PhIP levels reported in some studies of grilled chicken are not seen in home-cooked samples.Many studies suggest individuals may have varying susceptibility to carcinogens and that diet may influence metabolism, thus affecting cancer susceptibility. To understand the human metabolism of PhIP, we examined urinary metabolites of PhIP in volunteers following a single well-done meat exposure. Using solid-phase extraction and LC/MS/MS, we quantified four major PhIP metabolites in human urine. In addition to investigating individual variation, we examined the interaction of PhIP with a potentially chemopreventive food. In a preliminary study of the effect of broccoli on PhIP metabolism, we fed chicken to six volunteers before and after eating steamed broccoli daily for 3 days. Preliminary results suggest that broccoli, which contains isothiocyanates shown to induce Phases I and II metabolism in vitro, may affect both the rate of metabolite excretion and the metabolic products of a dietary carcinogen. This newly developed methodology will allow us to assess prevention strategies that reduce the possible risks associated with PhIP exposure.

It was found that application of pressure increases the room temperature conductivity and decreases the resistivity ratio ρr=ρ(0.37 K)/ρ(300 K) by ∼20–30%. At T<2 K the temperature dependence of resistivity ρ(T)∼ln T at ambient pressure and at 10 kbar. Transverse magnetoresistance (MR) at 10 kbar was found to be negative, linear and almost temperature independent at T<2 K. The observed low temperature ρ(T) and MR behavior has attributed to weak localization which accompanied by the effect of saturation of electron dephasing by two-level systems of a special type. The stronger behavior of ρ(T) and MR at T>2 K has associated with further suppression of weak localization due to more effective dephasing effect by low energy vibrational excitations.

Age-specific bladder cancer mortality rates for the period 1982 to 1998 were obtained for these 33 ‘exposed’ counties and 105 adjacent ‘unexposed’ rural counties in 11 states. A standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for the aggregate ‘exposed’ population was calculated using reference rates from the aggregate ‘unexposed’ population and compared to SMRs calculated using national and state reference rates. SMRs were also calculated for exposed populations in individual states. Standardized Incidence Ratios (SIRs) were calculated in a similar manner for exposed counties in States included in the National Cancer Institute''s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results cancer registry program.RESULTS: Calculated SMRs and SIRs depended on the choices of exposed and reference populations. Risk of bladder cancer mortality for white males was not elevated for the population drawn from the 33 exposed counties (SMR = 0.93; 95%CI = 0.85, 1.02) or for the exposed population drawn from Utah, irrespective of the reference population. Risks of bladder cancer incidence for exposed populations in New Mexico, however, were slightly elevated compared to unexposed reference populations drawn from adjacent counties within the state (SIR = 1.20; 95%CI = 1.13, 1.26).CONCLUSION: A small but statistically significant excess risk for bladder cancer may be attributed to exposure to arsenic at levels >10 ppb in some populations in New Mexico. Additional analyses to examine potential confounding by ethnicity and smoking prevalence are required. The results demonstrate the potential sensitivity of bladder cancer risks from arsenic exposure on a variety of factors. The study illustrates the potential limitations of ecological studies and risk assessment in US populations exposed to high levels of arsenic in drinking water.

The vehicle for the intervention was a municipal environmental plan (PAM) for each municipality. The process for creating the PAMs included training, community workshops, and direct engagement of local government officials, local representatives of national-level organizations, civil society, and the private sector. Local circumstances such as feelings of community pride that resulted from the transfer of the canal to Panamanian authority were included in the design of the interventions. In addition to fomenting a local "demand" for environmental activities, the PAM process taught strategic planning techniques and built confidence in the local governments' abilities to address problems.

Sensor readout is based on well-known principles of fluorescence induction by living photosynthetic tissue. The Clinch River is the main source of drinking water for Oak Ridge, Tennessee, while the Tennessee River is a major source for the city of Knoxville. We have successfully detected algae in every sample that we examined and readily monitored changes in the characteristic fluorescence induction curves when the samples were exposed to potassium cyanide (KCN), methyl parathion (MPt), N′(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea (DCMU), and paraquat. The percentage decreases in photochemical yields observed in Tennessee River samples after a 24-min exposure to KCN, MPt, and DCMU were, respectively, 21.89±0.76, 3.28±0.18, and 14.77±1.81. For a site at the Clinch River, the percentage decreases were 22.78±1.63, 8.32±0.21, and 17.71±1.32 (Table 1Table 1Decrease in photochemical yields of naturally occurring algae in primary-source drinking waters from the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers following exposure to toxic agentsSample siteToxic agent (Δ±prob. err.

It was computed by subtracting the value obtained for each toxic agent from its corresponding control. The entries for rows 1 and 4 correspond to the 25-min data points shown in . Similar plots (not shown) were obtained for the data in rows 2 and 3. The probable error is the computed error (the square root of the sum of the squares of the sample standard deviations of the toxin and control data) based on standard error analysis ().). The unique aspect of this approach to real-time water quality monitoring is that unlike conventional sensing devices, this sensor material is external to the detecting instrument and is continuously refreshed. These biosensors may be used as continuous rapid-warning sentinels for detection of chemical warfare agents in sunlight-exposed drinking water supplies.

Earlier research on foam generation is extended here with extensive data for a variety of porous media, permeabilities, gases (N2 and CO2), and surfactants. For bead and sandpacks, ∇pmin scales like (1/k), where k is permeability, over 21/2 orders of magnitude in k; for consolidated media, the relation is more complex. For dense-CO2 foam, ∇pmin exists but can be less than 23 KPa/m (1 psi/ft). If pressure drop, rather than flow rates, is fixed, one observes an unstable regime between stable “strong” and “coarse” foam regimes; in the unstable regime ∇p is nonuniform in space or variable in time. Results are interpreted in terms of the theory of foam mobilization at a critical pressure gradient.

Broadening observations on narrow absorption spikes contribute to understanding of the spectroscopy and dynamics of tropolone in several ways. First, they help to establish a remarkable progression of sharp peaks near 752 cm−1 as a part of the Q branch of the anharmonic ν22 (COH torsion) fundamental. The subband spacings of about 0.005–0.010 cm−1 are too large to be determined by harmonic vibrational differences in the rotational constants alone and are attributed to vibration–contortion–rotation perturbations of the upper state (ν22) energy levels of this anharmonic and relatively large amplitude vibration. Second, the isolated and sharp Q branch spikes near 915 cm−1 allow first estimates to be made for effective composite pressure broadening coefficients of tropolone–N2 collisions. The coefficients for transitions within the Ncon=0 and Ncon=1 contortion states differ from each other. They are relatively small due to the preponderance of high rotational states in their composition. Third, N2 broadening effects on substructure in the Q branch doublet near 754 cm−1 help support the assignment of this doublet to tunneling structure of the ν37 fundamental (contortion or incipient skeletal tunneling). The observed doublet components appear as perturbatively IR enhanced three and five peak fragments of weak longer progressions. The parallel spectroscopic behaviors of the perturbed anharmonic ν22 and ν37 vibrations differ markedly from behavior observed for the quasiharmonic vibrations.

One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT), a potentially cost-effective approach for this purpose, captures these couplings by means of a stochastic simulation implemented on a one-dimensional domain. A subgrid implementation of ODT is formulated and its potential advantages and limitations are assessed.

One such approach is the rapid heating of water solutions using laser excitation. Laser-induced temperature jump relaxation spectroscopy can be used to determine the dynamics of protein motion, an area largely unstudied for want of suitable experimental and theoretical probes, despite the obvious importance of dynamics to protein function. Coupled with suitable spectroscopic probes of structure, relaxation spectroscopy can follow the motion of protein atoms over an enormous time range, from picoseconds to minutes (or longer), and with substantial structural specificity.

A quick soak in various salts leads to the rapid incorporation of the anomalously scattering ions, suitable for phasing by MAD (multiwavelength anomalous dispersion), SAD (single-wavelength anomalous dispersion) or MIR (multiple isomorphous replacement) methods. The availability of stable synchrotron beam lines equipped with elaborate hardware control and sophisticated data processing programs makes it possible to collect very accurate diffraction data and to solve structures from the very weak anomalous signal of such atoms as sulfur or phosphorus, inherently present in macromolecules. The current progress in phasing, coupled with the parallel advances in protein crystallization, diffraction data collection and so on, suggests that, in the near future, the process of macromolecular crystal structure elucidation may become fully automatic.

A substantial (490 mV) decrease in the overvoltage of the NADH oxidation reaction (compared to ordinary carbon electrodes) is observed using single-wall and multi-wall carbon-nanotube coatings, with oxidation starting at ca. −0.05 V (vs. Ag/AgCl; pH 7.4). Furthermore, the NADH amperometric response of the coated electrodes is extremely stable, with 96% and 90% of the initial activity remaining after 60 min stirring of 2×10−4 and 5×10−3 M NADH solutions, respectively (compared to 20% and 14% at the bare surface). The CNT-coated electrodes thus allow highly sensitive, low-potential, stable amperometric sensing. Such ability of carbon nanotubes to promote the NADH electron-transfer reaction suggests great promise for dehydrogenase-based amperometric biosensors.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 2002/10//10/1/2002 VL - 21 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5195 EP - 5205 SN - 02614189 AB - The mammalian Chk2 kinase is thought to mediate ATM-dependent signaling in response to DNA damage. The physiological role of mammalian Chk2 has now been investigated by the generation of Chk2-deficient mice. Although Chk2-/- mice appeared normal, they were resistant to ionizing radiation (IR) as a result of the preservation of splenic lymphocytes. Thymocytes and neurons of the developing brain were also resistant to IR-induced apoptosis. The IR-induced G1/S cell cycle checkpoint, but not the G2/M or S phase check-points, was impaired in embryonic fibroblasts derived from Chk2-/- mice. IR-induced stabilization of p53 in Chk2-/- cells was 50-70% of that in wild-type cells. Caffeine further reduced p53 accumulation, suggesting the existence of an ATM/ATR-dependent but Chk2-independent pathway for p53 stabilization. In spite of p53 protein stabilization and phosphorylation of Ser23, p53-dependent transcriptional induction of target genes, such as p21 and Noxa, was not observed in Chk2-/- cells. Our results show that Chk2 plays a critical role in p53 function in response to IR by regulating its transcriptional activity as well as its stability.

Power-plant flue gas can serve as a source of CO2 for microalgae cultivation, and the algae can be cofired with coal. The study objective was to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to compare the environmental impacts of electricity production via coal firing versus coal/algae cofiring. The LCA results demonstrate that there are potentially significant benefits to recycling CO2 toward microalgae production. As it reduces CO2 emissions by recycling it and uses less coal, there are concomitant benefits of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are also other energy and fertilizer inputs needed for algae production, which contribute to key environmental flows. Lower net values for the algae cofiring scenario were observed for the following using the direct injection process (in which the flue gas is directly transported to the algae ponds): SOx, NOx, particulates, carbon dioxide, methane, and fossil energy consumption. Lower values for the algae cofiring scenario were also observed for greenhouse potential and air acidification potential. However, impact assessment for depletion of natural resources and eutrophication potential showed much higher values. This LCA gives us an overall picture and impacts across different environmental boundaries, and hence, can help in the decision-making process for implementation of the algae scenario.

Energy savings from the use of daylighting in commercial buildings is best realized through the installation of reliable photoelectric lighting controls that dim electric lights when sufficient daylight is available to provide adequate background and/or task illumination. In prior work, the authors discussed the limitations of current simulation approaches and presented a robust method to simulate the performance of photosensor-based controls using an enhanced version of the radiance lighting simulation package. The method is based on the concept of multiplying two fisheye images: one generated from the angular sensitivity of the photosensor and the other from a 180 or 360° fisheye image of the space as “seen” by the photosensor. This paper includes a description of the method, its validation and possible applications for designing, placing, calibrating and commissioning photosensor-based lighting controls.

Several architectural CAD tools are already IFC-compliant. However, in-depth knowledge of the highly complex IFC object model is required to develop IFC-compliant software. It has proven quite difficult to read the huge amount of building data stored in an IFC file, extract the information needed by a particular application, and correctly update the IFC file with new data. To make this work easier for developers not familiar with the IFC, Olof Granlund Oy has developed a new development tool, BSPro COM-Server for IFC Files. Using this tool, a software developer of new or existing tools can achieve IFC compatibility with a quite reasonable amount of work.

An analytical verification and comparative diagnostic procedure was developed to test the ability of whole-building simulation programs to model the performance of unitary space-cooling equipment that is typically modeled using manufacturer design data presented as empirically derived performance maps. This procedure is based on the International Energy Agency (IEA) building energy simulation test (BESTEST) diagnostic method and systematically tests whole-building energy simulation software by comparing results from such software to analytical solutions that were developed for the test cases. Field trials of the new procedure were conducted by researchers from nations participating in the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) Programme Task 22, using a number of detailed hourly simulation programs from Europe and the US, including: CA-SIS, CLIM2000, ENERGYPLUS, PROMETHEUS, TRNSYS-TUD, and two versions of DOE-2.1E.

For large problems when using a direct linear equation solver such as LU decomposition, the decomposition phase of the algorithm comprises the predominant portion of the overall CPU time. A variety of indirect linear equation solvers are considered as a means of significantly reducing the CPU usage. Because of the excellent conditioning of the discretized linear systems, the number of iterations required of the indirect solvers to reach a prescribed residual is quite low and remains relatively constant with refined discretizations.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 21 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2198 EP - 2203 SN - 07307268 AB - Depleted uranium (DU) has been used as a substitute for the fissionable enriched uranium component of atomic weapons tested at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) (Los Alamos, NM, USA) since the early 1950s, resulting in considerable concentrations of DU in the soils within the test sites. Although the movement of DU into major aquatic systems has been shown to be minimal, there are many small-order ephemeral streams and areas of standing water in canyons throughout LANL that may be affected by inputs of DU via runoff, erosion, and leaching. Ninety-six-hour acute and 7-d chronic toxicity assays were conducted to measure the toxicity of DU on survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia dubia. A 14-d water-only assay was conducted to measure survival and growth of Hyalella azteca. The estimated median lethal concentration (LC50) to produce 50% mortality of the test population for the 96-h Ceriodaphnia dubia assay was 10.50 mg/L. Reproductive effects occurred at a lowest-observableeffect concentration >3.91 mg/L with a no-observable-effect concentration of 1.97 mg/L. The estimated 14-d LC50 for the Hyalella azteca assay was 1.52 mg/L. No significant relationship was detected between growth and DU concentrations. Concentrations at which toxicity effects were observed in this study for both invertebrates exceeded concentrations of total uranium observed in runoff from LANL lands. Thus, it is likely that current runoff levels of uranium do not pose a threat to these types of aquatic invertebrates.

Also measured were the downstream transport of tungsten-oxide condensation aerosols and their region of deposition, including plateout in the superheated flow tube, rainout in the condenser, and ambient discharge that was collected on an array of sub-micron aerosol filters. The nominal conditions of the tests, with the exception of the first two tests, were tungsten temperatures of 1000 °C, gas mixture temperatures of 200 °C, and boundary temperatures of 150–200 °C. It was observed that the tungsten oxidation rates were greatest in all air and least in all steam, and generally decreased non-linearly as the steam mole fraction increased. The tungsten oxidation rates in all air were more than five times greater than the tungsten oxidation rates in all steam. The tungsten vaporization rate was zero in all air, and increased with increasing steam mole fraction. The vaporization rate became maximum at a steam mole fraction of 0.85 and decreased thereafter as the steam mole fraction was increased to unity. The tungsten-oxide was transported downstream as condensation aerosols, initially flowing upwards from the tungsten rod through an 18-in. long, 1-in. OD quartz tube, around a 90° bend with a 3.5-in. radius, and laterally through a 24-in. horizontal run. The entire length of the quartz glass flow path was heated by electrical resistance clamshell heaters whose temperatures were individually controlled and monitored. The tungsten-oxide plateout in the quartz tube was collected, nearly all of which was deposited at the end of the heated zone near the entrance to the steam condenser that was cold. The tungsten-oxide that rained out in the condenser as the steam condensed was collected with the condensate and weighed after being dried. The aerosol smoke that escaped the condenser was collected on the sub-micron filter assemblies. There was no aerosol generation for the case of all air, so the plateout, condensate, and smoke were all zero. For the case of all steam, there was very little plateout in the superheated regions; almost all of the aerosol was collected in the condensate from the condenser and there was no smoke discharge into the filters. For the experiments with intermediate air/steam fractions, there was some aerosol plateout, considerable aerosol in the condensate, and aerosol smoke discharged from the condenser with the escaping air.

The obtained results verify that the direct injection of liquid neon into He II introduces seed particles into the He II bath. It is also demonstrated that the particle sizes can be controlled by changing the pressure above the injected liquid. Additionally, the size distribution of the particles is calculated from the PIV results through the use of the correlations to the standard drag curve.

Distinguishing between the effect of melting processes and variable source compositions on measured disequilibria (238U-230Th-226Ra and 235U-231Pa) requires measurement of the radiogenic isotopes Hf, Nd, Sr, and Pb. Here, we report measurements of 238U-230Th-226Ra and 235U-231Pa disequilibria; Hf, Nd, Sr, and Pb isotopic; and major and trace element compositions for a suite of 20 young midocean ridge basalts from the East Pacific Rise axis between 9°28′ and 9°52′N. All of the samples were collected within the axial summit trough using the submersible Alvin. The geological setting and observational data collected during sampling operations indicate that all the rocks are likely to have been erupted from 1991 to 1992 or within a few decades of that time. In these samples, 230Th excesses and 226Ra excesses are variable and inversely correlated. Because the eruption ages of the samples are much less than the half-life of 226Ra, this inverse correlation between 230Th and 226Ra excesses can be considered a primary feature of these lavas. For the lava suite analyzed in this study, 226Ra and 230Th excesses also vary with lava composition: 226Ra excesses are negatively correlated with Na8 and La/Yb and positively correlated with Mg#. Conversely, 230Th excesses are positively correlated with Na8 and La/Yb and negatively correlated with Mg#. Th/U, 230Th/232Th, and 230Th excesses are also variable and correlated to one another. 231Pa excesses are large but relatively constant and independent of Mg#, La/Yb, Th/U, and Na8. The isotope ratios 143Nd/144Nd, 176Hf/177Hf, 87Sr/86Sr, and 208Pb/206Pb are constant within analytical uncertainty, indicating that they were derived from a common source. The source is homogeneous with respect to parent/daughter ratios Lu/Hf, Sm/Nd, Rb/Sr, and Th/U; therefore, the measured variations of Th/U, 230Th, and 226Ra excesses and major and trace element compositions in these samples are best explained by polybaric melting of a homogeneous source, not by mixing of compositionally distinct sources.

We characterized soil carbon dynamics in a Russian steppe preserve using a 100-year-old-soil archive and modern samples collected from the same site. The site has been protected since 1885 to the present, during which time the region has experienced widespread conversion to cultivation, a decrease in fire frequency, and a trend of increasing precipitation. In the preserve, the amount of organic carbon did not change appreciably between the 1900 and 1997 sampling dates, with 32 kg C/m2 in the top meter and a third of that in the top 20 cm. Carbon and nitrogen stocks varied by less than 6% between two replicate modern soil pits or between the modern sites and the archive. Radiocarbon content decreased with depth in all sites and the modern SOM had positive Δ values near the surface due to nuclear weapons testing in the early 1960s. In the upper 10 cm, most of the SOM had a turnover time of 6–10 years, according to a model fit to the radiocarbon content. Below about 10 cm, the organic matter was almost all passive material with long (millennial) turnover times. Soil respiration Δ14 CO2 on a summer day was 106–109‰, an isotopic disequilibrium of about 9‰ relative to atmospheric 14 CO2 . In both the modern and archive soil, the relative abundance of 13 C in organic matter increased with depth by 2‰ in the upper meter from δ13 C = --26‰ at 5 cm to --24‰ below a meter. In addition, the slope of δ13 C vs. depth below 5 cm was the same for both soils. Given the age of the soil archive, these results give clear evidence that the depth gradients are not due to depletion of atmospheric 13 CO2 by fossil fuel emissions but must instead be caused by...

If the frequency of these weather extremes were to increase in the near future, as recent trends for the US indicate and as projected by global climate models (e.g., US National Assessment, Overview Report, 2001, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, National Assesment Synthesis Team, US Global Change Research Program, Washington, DC; Houghton et al., 2001, IPCC Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis, Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 335pp.), the cost of crop losses in the coming decades could rise dramatically. Yet current assessments of the impacts of climate change on agriculture have not quantified the negative effects on crop production from increased heavy precipitation and flooding (Impacts of climate change and variability on agriculture, in: US National Assessment Foundation Document, 2001. National Assessment Synthesis Team, US Global Change Research Program, Washington DC.). In this work, we modify a dynamic crop model in order to simulate one important effect of heavy precipitation on crop growth, plant damage from excess soil moisture. We compute that US corn production losses due to this factor, already significant under current climate, may double during the next thirty years, causing additional damages totaling an estimated $3 billion per year. These costs may either be borne directly by those impacted or transferred to private or governmental insurance and disaster relief programs.

Solutions for the temperature and heat flux are represented as integrals involving the Green''s function (GF), the initial and boundary data, and volumetric energy generation. Use of the usual GF obtained by separation of variables leads to slowly convergent series. To circumvent this difficulty, the dummy time interval of integration is partitioned into a short time and a long time subintervals where the GFs are approximated by their small and large time representations. This paper deals with the analysis and implementation of this time partitioning method.

The comparison dispels the misconception that an ideal fuel cell is potentially more efficient than an ideal heat engine. The paper presents expressions for the thermal efficiencies of an ideal fuel cell and a Carnot heat engine. To show that the maximum efficiency is the same, the analysis of the Carnot cycle is modified to consider an engine driven by a combustion reaction. The derivation invokes the approximations that the enthalpy and entropy changes for the reaction are independent of temperature; these approximations are justified by the hydrogen-oxidation reaction.The analysis extends that presented by Appleby and Foulkes (Fuel Cell Handbook, Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York 1989) by showing that with proper accounting for heat addition, the maximum efficiency of a fuel cell is 100%—not larger—for reactions with a positive entropy change. In addition, this paper explains the difference between the combustion temperature, at which an idealized Carnot cycle would operate, and the adiabatic flame temperature.

A sticky aerosol (MMAD ≈4.9 μm; GSD ≈2.7) was injected into a duct and blown out through machined slot- and joint-type leaks located on the duct wall. For both leak-types, the crack exit was a rectangular opening of 1.7×50 mm. The pressure difference across the leaks was kept constant during the plugging process, while the airflow rate through the openings was continuously monitored. The deposition patterns were recorded and the average deposition efficiencies were obtained through the measurement of the particle mass collected in the crack. Instantaneous sealing rates were obtained from the leakage airflow time series. The normalized sealing rate (NSR) introduced in this paper allows one to compare the instantaneous sealing efficiencies as the leaks are subjected to various boundary conditions. For our specific leak geometries and boundary conditions, the three key results of these experiments are: (a) inertial impaction near the entry point is the major cause of the decline of the leakage flow rate for either type of leak; (b) the pressure variations in the 100–400 Pa range do not have a significant effect on the average deposition efficiency; (c) the average deposition efficiency of the slot- and joint-type leaks used are in the range of 25% and 85%, respectively. We also observed that there exists a critical joint-leak size below which the NSR decreases significantly.

Regular pyrgeometer calibration against an internationally recognized standard is required in order to measure the longwave radiation consistently at different sites around the globe. At present, there is no internationally recognized standard to calibrate pyrgeometers. A well-characterized blackbody is, however, an accepted approach. This paper describes a method of establishing a precise blackbody reference and using it to calibrate a group of four transfer reference pyrgeometers. The group is then deployed outdoors to evaluate the precision of the blackbody calibration. The results from the outdoor data shows that the percentage mean-square-error of each transfer reference pyrgeometer is 0.12%, 0.07%, 0.46%, and 0.10% with a resultant percentage root-mean-square of 0.43%. The errors are calculated with respect to the average of the irradiance readings of the transfer reference pyrgeometers. To minimize the number of transfer reference pyrgeometers and to allow more space for calibrating test pyrgeometers, a sub-set of the transfer reference pyrgeometers is then used to calibrate a test pyrgeometer outdoors. The calibration of the test pyrgeometer resulted in reducing its error from +4.00% to ±0.32% with respect to the irradiance measured by the sub-set of the transfer reference pyrgeometers. The outdoor calibration method can minimize the calibration cost resulting from using the lengthy and costly blackbody calibration because many pyrgeometers can be calibrated at the same time.Appendix A shows a diagram that describes the paper''s concept.

We investigated the transport of CoIINTA through undisturbed cores of fractured shale saprolite. Experiments were conducted across the pH range 4 to 8 by collecting cores from different locations within the weathering profile. Aqueous complexation, adsorption, dissociation and oxidation reactions influenced CoIINTA transport. The suite of reaction products identified in column effluent varied with experimental pH. At low pH and in the presence of abundant exchangeable aluminum, Co transport occurred predominantly as the Co2+ ion. At higher pH, Co was transported primarily as CoIINTA and the Co(III) species CoIII(HNTA)2 and CoIII(IDA)2. The formation of the geochemical oxidation products (Co(III) species) has far reaching implications as these compounds are kinetically and thermodynamically stable, are transported more rapidly than CoIINTA, and are resistant to biodegradation. These results demonstrate that natural minerals, in the physical structure encountered naturally, can be more important in the formation of mobile, stable contaminant forms than they can be for the retardation and dissociation of the contaminants.

An additional transition appears when the field is applied out of a symmetry direction of the basal plane. Starting from the complex zero field canted planar magnetic structures, the different phases induced by the field have then been clarified and the metamagnetic process has been quantitatively analyzed using a phenomenological model in which the demagnetizing field has been considered. The angular dependences of the transition fields were quite satisfactorily accounted for. Finally, the huge second-order anisotropy constant K1 and the large anisotropy constant K3 in the basal plane have been quantitatively determined.

The studies revealed that for both oxygen partial pressures a 20–35 nm thick interfacial CuAlO2 layer formed, which crystallises in the rhombohedral structure. However, the CuAlO2 layer is not continuous, but interrupted by many pores. In the samples annealed in the higher oxygen partial pressure an additional reaction phase with a needle-like structure was observed. The needles are several millimetres long, ∼10 µm wide and ∼1 µm thick. They consist of CuAlO2 with alternating rhombohedral and hexagonal structures. Solid-state contact angle measurements were performed to derive values for the work of adhesion. The results show that the adhesion is twice as good for the annealed specimen compared to the as-bonded sample.

These quantities can be determined most reliably by a Fourier analysis of digital micrographs from the instrument, recorded under conditions of interest. A program designed to implement all of the necessary steps in an automated manner has been developed as a ‘macro’ for the popular, and freely available, NIH Image and SCION Image programs.

The Hixson–Crowell equation, which is based on Fick''s first law, was used to determine mass-transfer coefficients (kH) for dissolution and growth; both were found to fit the same Arrhenius function of temperature (T). An attempt was made to estimate the diffusion coefficient (D) and the concentration-boundary-layer thickness (δ). The calculated values of δ compared well with experimental results and observations. The D vs. T function was similar to a literature function obtained for the dissolution of magnetite in sodium disilicate glass.

The cavity number density of Ni-doped steels was higher than that of Ni-undoped steels due to the higher concentration of helium. There was no difference of cavity number density between the steels tempered at 700 and 750 °C, but the mean size of the cavities in the steels tempered at 750 °C was larger than that tempered at 700 °C. There was a tendency for the number density of loops in Ni-doped steels to be higher than in Ni-undoped steels. In addition, the mean size of loops in the steels tempered at 750 °C was larger than for those tempered at 700 °C, while there was not much difference of number density between them. In the steels doped with Ni, irradiation-produced precipitates, identified as M6C(η)-type carbide and M2X phase, were found in the 9Cr–2VWTa–2Ni steel and 9Cr–1MoVNb–2Ni, respectively. Irradiation of Ni-doped steels showed the effect of helium on cavity nucleation, however, the effect of helium on dislocation structure and precipitation was not made clear.

These were compared with the results obtained by conventional screening of the peptide library in solution using affinity chromatography. The results reported here show that by combining ESI, FT-ICR MS, SWIFT, and IRMPD, ligands likely to bind under physiological conditions are rapidly and efficiently identified, even from complex library mixtures. In the gas phase some discrimination against hydrophobic ligands could be observed. However, the illustrated feasibility of identifying high affinity ligand via gas-phase screening of complex library mixtures should lead to broad applications in the development of ligands for proteins with interesting biological activity, the first step that must be taken to develop a therapeutic agent.

The first goal for this test flight was to demonstrate the performance of the PSD electronics in a radiation background and space environment similar to that in which SPI will operate, which was successfully demonstrated. The second goal was to measure the fraction of the background due to localized β−-decays, and to validate the model used to predict SPI''s background and the sensitivity improvement due to the PSD background rejection. Our background measurements show good agreement with the models developed for SPI, and strongly support the expected improvement in sensitivity due to PSD on SPI.

Combining estimates of US computer room floor space for hosting facilities with total computer room power density, we found that these US data centers in the aggregate required less than 500 MW of power in 2000, and used only about 0.12% of the electricity consumed nationwide in that year. In this paper, our order-of-magnitude estimate suggests that energy demands of these facilities do not represent an enormous new burden on the electricity industry as a whole. The fact that these facilities tend to be concentrated in certain areas, however, may mean that there will be significant regional electricity demands in some parts of the country. If combined heat and power (CHP) technologies were introduced to data center facilities on a large scale, initial calculations indicate that these facilities might even become net contributors of power to the electric grid.

Therefore, reducing the paper demand will lead to GHG emission reduction. Paper use for communication is responsible for GHG emissions of 121 Mton CO2-equivalents in Western Europe (1995). In this paper a baseline scenario is developed for Western Europe that forecasts a rise in communication paper consumption from 31 Mtons/year in 1995 to 53 Mtons in 2015. We show that several measures are available to reduce the demand for publication papers, e.g. thinner paper, efficient printing technologies, duplexing, and printing on demand (POD). The impact of these measures are determined by using a life cycle inventory approach whereby we focus on GHGs only. We estimate that it is technically possible to reduce paper demand in 2015 by 37% compared with the baseline scenario. This would correspond to a GHG emission reduction of 70 Mton CO2-equivalents We calculate that the intensity of use of publication papers may drop from 5.2 kg per $1000 GDP in 1995 to 3.4 kg per $1000 GDP in 20l5 (all in 1995$). The measures with the largest emission reduction potential are, lowering the basic weight of paper as well as POD. Assumptions on the market potential of POD are uncertain and have a large influence on the results. Further research should focus on determining the influence of increasing access to (digital) information on paper demand. In the analysis only material management improvements are taken into account, no improvements in energy efficiency or improved waste management practices are taken into account.

Intake fraction is the fraction of chemical mass emitted into the environment that eventually passes into a member of the population through inhalation, ingestion, or dermal exposure. To date, this concept has been primarily applied to pollutants whose primary route of exposure is inhalation. Here we extend the use of iF to multimedia pollutants with multiple exposure pathways. We use a level III multimedia model to calculate iF for TCDD and compare the result to one calculated from measured levels of dioxin toxic equivalents in the environment. We calculate iF for emissions to air and surface water for 308 chemicals. We correlate the primary exposure route with the magnitudes of the octanol–water partition coefficient, K[sub ow], and of the air–water partitioning coefficient (dimensionless Henry constant), K[sub aw]. This results in value ranges of K[sub ow] and K[sub aw] where the chemical exposure route can be classified with limited input data requirements as primarily inhalation, primarily ingestion, or multipathway. For the inhalation and ingestion dominant pollutants, we also define empirical relationships based on chemical properties for quantifying the intake fraction. The empirical relationships facilitate rapid evaluation of many chemicals in terms of the intake. By defining a theoretical upper limit for iF in a multimedia environment we find that iF calculations provide insight into the multimedia model algorithms and help identify unusual patterns of exposure and questionable exposure model results.

The level of detail in the map allows docking of the tubulin structure previously determined by electron crystallography, with very strong constraints, providing several important insights not previously available through docking tubulin into lower-resolution maps. This work provides an improved picture of the interactions between adjacent protofilaments, which are responsible for microtubule stability, and also suggests that some structural features are different in microtubules from those in the zinc sheets with which the tubulin structure was determined.

We identify three domain types that account for the complete architecture of numerous Methanosarcina surface layer proteins (SLPs). We solve the crystal structure for two of these domains, which correspond to the two N-terminal domains of an M. mazei SLP. One domain displays a unique, highly symmetrical, seven-bladed β propeller fold, and the other belongs to the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) superfamily fold. The third domain is predicted to adopt a β helix fold. These domains have homologs in metazoan cell surface proteins, suggesting remarkable relationships between domains in archaeal SLPs and metazoan cell surface proteins.

A reformulation of thermionic theory for vacuum diodes has been developed to improve predictive accuracy, to broaden the scope of application, and to establish a more consistent approach. Electron reflection effects and temperature dependent work functions are shown to be important considerations for thermionic diodes; consequently, the revised formulation focuses on proper treatment of these considerations. Revised equations are derived for predicting current densities, space charge, and electron cooling. In addition, equations are developed that provide energy–angle dependent current density spectra used to compute average transmission coefficients. An approach for computing space charge reflection parameters is also provided. Methods are given that permit application of the revised approach to inhomogeneous (patchy) electrode surfaces. A preliminary comparison shows that the predicted current–voltage characteristics using the revised formulations are in good agreement with test results for a prototype microminiature thermionic converter; whereas, more conventional formulations do not provide accurate predictions. Several new parameters are recommended to take advantage of the more precise methodology provided by the reformulation.

Recently, a synapse assembly model has been proposed, which enables the calculation of the propensity for synapse assembly driven by membrane-constrained protein binding interactions. We bring together model predictions of mature synapse assembly with data on the dependence of T-cell responses on T-cell receptor (TCR)–MHC–peptide (pMHC) binding kinetics. Predictions of mature synapse assembly, based on TCR–pMHC binding kinetics, correlate well with observed cytokine responses by T cells bearing the relevant TCR but not with cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated killing. We discuss the suggested different role for the synapse in pre- and post-nuclear activation events in T cells. The view of immunological synapse assembly given here emphasizes the importance of both the on and off rates for the TCR–pMHC interaction and in this context recent data on a positive role for analogs of self-peptides in synapse assembly is considered.

As a result, two new local meteoric water lines were defined for the study area. Isotopic analyses of groundwater samples from over 200 springs and wells indicate that the main source of water to the Batinah coastal alluvial aquifer is high-altitude rainfall from the adjacent Jabal Akhdar Mountains, originating from a combination of northern and southern moisture sources. The groundwater recharged at high-altitude forms two plumes of water which is depleted in the heavy isotopes 18O and 2H and stretches from the mountains across the coastal plain to the sea, thereby retaining a chemical homogeneity horizontally and vertically down to a depth exceeding 300 m. In contrast, in areas adjacent to these two plumes the alluvial aquifer is geochemically stratified. Near the coast, saline intrusion results in abrupt changes in chloride concentrations and isotope values.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 6-1 EP - 6-14 SN - 00431397 AB - Liquid-release tests, performed in boreholes above an underground opening constructed in unsaturated fractured rock, are used in this study to evaluate seepage into a waste emplacement drift. Evidence for the existence of a capillary barrier at the ceiling of the drift is presented based on field observations (including spreading of the wetting front across the ceiling and water movement up fractures exposed in the ceiling before seepage begins). The capillary barrier mechanism has the potential to divert water around the opening, resulting in no seepage when the percolation flux is at or below the seepage threshold flux. Liquid-release tests are used to demonstrate that a seepage threshold exists and to measure the magnitude of the seepage threshold flux for three test zones that seeped. The seepage data are interpreted using analytical techniques to estimate the test-specific strength of the rock capillary forces (α−1) that prevent water from seeping into the drift. Evaporation increases the seepage threshold flux, making it more difficult for water to seep into the drift and producing artificially inflated α−1 values. With adjustments for evaporation, the minimum test-specific threshold is 1600 mm/yr, with a corresponding α−1 value of 0.027 m.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 8-1 EP - 8-15 SN - 00431397 AB - Most existing stochastic models are developed for unimodal porous media that may be well characterized with only the first two statistical moments. However, the distribution of hydraulic properties, such as hydraulic conductivity, may possess a multiplicity of modes; thus the first two moments may not be adequate to characterize properties of such porous media. In turn, the stochastic models developed for unimodal porous media may not be applicable to flow and transport in a multimodal heterogeneous porous medium. This study investigates under what circumstances the second-order moment-based stochastic models are applicable to multimodal heterogeneous porous media. We assume that a porous medium is composed of a number of materials (categories), each of which may have a different mean, variance, and correlation scale. The distribution of materials in the domain is characterized by indicator random variables. We first derive analytical expressions for the mean and covariance of the log saturated hydraulic conductivity (ln K s) of the multimodal porous medium in terms of categorical proportions, transition probability among categories, and covariances of indicator random variables. We express the covariance in terms of the statistics of materials in the porous medium, which allows us to accurately evaluate the variance and the correlation length of the composite ln K s field. We then solve the second-order moment equations for the 'equivalent' unimodal field with an exponential covariance with a single correlation scale computed for the composite field. On the other hand, we conduct two sets of Monte Carlo simulations: one with multimodal random fields, and the other with 'equivalent' unimodal random fields. Examples for porous media with two materials are given. Numerical experiments show that a bimodal ln K s field may be well approximated by an equivalent unimodal field when one of the two modes is dominant, under which condition the applicability of the second-order moment-based model is subject to the same limitation of relatively small variance as that for unimodal fields. When the bimodal distribution has two more or less equally important modes, although it cannot be adequately represented by an equivalent unimodal distribution, the second-order moment-based stochastic model seems to be applicable to systems with larger composite variances than it does for an one-mode-dominant distribution.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 17-1 EP - 17-16 SN - 00431397 AB - We conducted a simple field experiment to elucidate structure (i.e., geometry) of the liquid phase (water) resulting from ponded infiltration into a pervasive fracture network that dissected a nearly impermeable rock matrix. Over a 46 min period, dyed water was infiltrated from a surface pond while electrical resistance tomography (ERT) was employed to monitor the rapid invasion of the initially dry fracture network and subsequent drainage. We then excavated the rock mass to a depth of ∼5 m, mapping the fracture network and extent of dye staining over a series of horizontal pavements located directly beneath the pond. Near the infiltration surface, flow was dominated by viscous forces, and the fracture network was fully stained. With increasing depth, flow transitioned to unsaturated conditions, and the phase structure became complicated, exhibiting evidence of fragmentation, preferential flow, fingers, irregular wetting patterns, and varied behavior at fracture intersections. ERT images demonstrate that water spanned the instrumented network rapidly on ponding and also rapidly drained after ponding was terminated. Estimates suggest that our excavation captured from ∼15 to 1% or less of the rock volume interrogated by our infiltration slug, and thus the penetration depth from our short ponding event could have been quite large.

The system of three partial differential equations used to model bioremediation has a traveling wave solution which loses stability in a Hopf bifurcation, giving rise to oscillating fronts. To understand the origin of these oscillations, we construct a simplified model of the biologically active zone, a time delay differential equation with state-dependent delay. Despite its simplicity the new model mimics the dynamical characteristics of the bioremediation equations remarkably well and yields an approximate parametric expression for the oscillation onset point.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 32-1 EP - 32-7 SN - 00431397 AB - Some environmentally sensitive unsaturated zone sediments, such as those underlying radioactive waste tanks in Hanford (Washington State), contain large fractions of gravels and coarse sands. Coarse, granular media are also included in designs of engineered capillary barriers for subsurface waste isolation. Thus knowledge of the unsaturated hydraulic properties of gravels is needed to understand flow and transport in these critical settings. When standard methods for measuring moisture characteristics or water retention relations are used for gravels, corrections are needed in the near-zero region of matric (pressure) potentials. The need for correction results from gravity stratification of saturation profiles within even short sample columns. Such a correction method was developed and used to determine drainage curves for Hanford gravels having characteristic grain sizes of 8.0-9.5, 4.8-5.3, and 2.0-2.4 mm. In 30 mm tall sample columns, gravity corrections were essential for the 9 and 5 mm gravels and less significant for the 2 mm gravel. Validity of the correction method was demonstrated through accurately reconstructing average column saturation-potential relations from their predicted local saturation-potential relations. The method and results presented here are part of an ongoing study on Hanford gravels and on limits to classical unsaturated hydraulic scaling encountered at large grain sizes.

We have now used this assay to identify reversion and/or death requirements of several more aggressive human breast cancer cell lines.Methods: Breast tumor cell lines MCF7, Hs578T, and MDA-MB-231 were cultured in 3D rBM and treated with inhibitors of beta1 integrin, MAPK, or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). MDA-MB-231 cells, which lack E-cadherin, were transfected with an E-cadherin cDNA. The extent of reversion was assessed by changes in morphology and polarity, growth in 3D rBM or soft agar, level of invasiveness, and tumor formation in nude mice.Results: All three cell lines showed partial reversion (MCF7 the greatest and Hs578T the least) of tumorigenic properties treated with a single beta1 integrin, MAPK, or PI3K inhibitor. Combined inhibition of beta1 integrin and either PI3K or MAPK resulted in nearly complete phenotypic reversion (MDA-MB-231, MCF7) or in cell death (Hs578T). E-cadherin-transfected MDA-MB-231 cells showed partial reversion, but exposure of the transfectants to an inhibitor of beta1 integrin, PI3K, or MAPK led to nearly complete reversion.Conclusion: The 3D rBM assay can be used to identify signaling pathways that, when manipulated in concert, can lead to the restoration of morphologically normal breast structures or to death of the tumor cells, even highly metastatic cells. This approach may be useful to design therapeutic intervention strategies for aggressive breast cancers.

We have grown biaxially textured MgO films by ISD at deposition rates of 20–100 A˚/s. Columnar grain structures with roof-tile-shaped surfaces were observed in these films. X-ray pole figure analysis revealed that the (0 0 2) plane of the ISD MgO films is tilted at an angle from the substrate normal. A small φ-scan full-width at half-maximum of 9° was observed on MgO films deposited with an inclination angle of 55°. YBCO films were grown on ISD-MgO-buffered Hastelloy substrates by pulsed laser deposition. We obtained a critical current density of 2×105 A/cm2 at 77 K in self-field on a sample that is 0.5 μm thick, 0.5 cm wide, and 1 cm long.

T1 - Bulk solution techniques to fabricate high Jc YBCO coated conductors JO - Physica C JF - Physica C Y1 - 2002/10/03/Oct2002 Part 2 VL - 378-381 M3 - Article SP - 1009 SN - 09214534 AB - Low-cost, non-vacuum bulk solution technique has been developed to deposit epitaxial Gd2O3 and La2Zr2O7 (LZO) buffer layers directly onto both textured Ni and mechanically strengthened biaxially textured Ni–W(3 at.%)–Fe(1.7 at.%) (hereafter referred to as Ni–W) substrates. A reel-to-reel continuous dip-coating unit was used to produce meter lengths of highly textured, crack-free Gd2O3 and LZO buffers on Ni and Ni–W tapes. Auger electron spectroscopy analysis of the textured Ni–W substrates indicated the presence of sulfur segregation to the surface, which possibly facilitated the growth of solution seed layers directly on Ni–W substrates. On dip-coated seed layers, a reel-to-reel sputtering unit was used to deposit epitaxially 200 nm thick YSZ layers followed by 10 nm thick CeO2 to complete the RABiTS architecture. Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films on these tapes in short lengths. YBCO films with Jc values of 1.2×106 and 1.9×106 A/cm2 at 77 K were obtained on Gd2O3 and LZO buffered Ni–W substrates, respectively. YBCO films grown by ex situ BaF2 precursor process on 80 cm long, 1 cm wide CeO2/YSZ/Gd2O3/Ni tapes exhibited end-to-end Jc of 6.25×105 A/cm2 at 77 K and self-field. This demonstrates that the solution layers provide a very good crystallographic template for the growth of high current density YBCO films, with performance approaching that of vacuum-deposited seed layers.

Precursor films of boron, 0.6 μm thick, were deposited onto Al2O3(1 0 2) substrates by electron beam evaporation; subsequent post-anneal at 890 °C in the presence of MgB2 and Mg metal produced highly crystalline MgB2 films. Detailed X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the film is polycrystalline with some degree of c-axis texture. A transport Jc of over 4×106 A/cm2 was obtained on MgB2 films at 25 K and self-field. The higher irreversibility fields, Birr obtained from the transport measurements on MgB2 films indicate that there is some improvement in flux pinning at lower temperatures. The details of the film growth and transport property measurements are reported.

The complete physics background from the production of bb¯μμ¯, bb¯W+W− (including tt¯) and jjμμ¯,j=g,u,d,s,c in the Standard Model is calculated with realistic acceptance cuts. This discovery mode has a simple production mechanism from gg→bb¯φ0 with its cross section proportional to 1/cos2β and could provide an opportunity to measure tanβ and the bb¯φ0 couplings. In addition, we compare the associated discovery mode above with the inclusive discovery channel pp→φ0→μμ¯+X.

More than 1 μm of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) diffusion length has been observed for certain films, indicating high interconnectivity of pores. S parameters from Doppler broadening of annihilation photons (DBAP) show homogeneous depth profiles of these films. o-Ps emission and lifetimes show that the pore interconnectivity depends on the characteristics of the triblock copolymers. Pores generated from polymers with higher molecular mass are smaller and more closed, while pores generated by polymers with lower molecular mass and smaller ethylene oxide fraction are more interconnected.

Samples are initially fortified with ethion (internal standard), then extracted without organic solvent using a 65-μm thickness polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS–DVB) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber. The analytes collected are thermally desorbed in a heated gas chromatographic inlet, separated using a fused-silica capillary column, and detected using a mass selective detector in its selected-ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Two independent statistical procedures were used to evaluate the detection limits, which typically range between 2 and 8 μg l−1 for these analytes. Method performance was also evaluated using “performance evaluation” samples, in which clean authentic ground waters were fortified to known concentrations with at least two of the analytes of interest. Sample-to-sample analysis time is approximately 30 min, making the new method ideal for “quick turn” determinations.

T1 - Myxoma Virus Immunomodulatory Protein M156R is a Structural Mimic of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor eIF2α JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2002/10/04/ VL - 322 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 943 SN - 00222836 AB - Phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2 on Ser51 of its α subunit is a key event for regulation of protein synthesis in all eukaryotes. M156R, the product of the myxoma virus M156R open reading frame, has sequence similarity to eIF2α as well as to a family of viral proteins that bind to the interferon-induced protein kinase PKR and inhibit phosphorylation of eIF2α. In this study, we demonstrate that, like eIF2α. M156R is an efficient substrate for phosphorylation by PKR and can compete with eIF2α. To gain insights into the substrate specificity of the eIF2α kinases, we have determined the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure of M156R, the first structure of a myxoma virus protein. The fold consists of a five-stranded antiparallel β-barrel with two of the strands connected by a loop and an α-helix. The similarity between M156R and the β-barrel structure in the N terminus of eIF2α suggests that the viral homologs mimic eIF2α structure in order to compete for binding to PKR. A homology-modeled structure of the well-studied vaccinia virus K3L was generated on the basis of alignment with M156R. Comparison of the structures of the K3L model, M156R, and human eIF2α indicated that residues important for binding to PKR are located at conserved positions on the surface of the β-barrel and in the mobile loop, identifying the putative PKR recognition motif.

These libraries behave statistically as though they correspond to populations containing roughly 4.0±1.6% of the random dodecapeptides and 7.9±2.6% of the random constrained heptapeptides that are theoretically possible within the phage populations. Analysis of amino acid residue occurrence patterns shows no demonstrable influence on sequence censorship by Escherichia coli tRNA isoacceptor profiles or either overall codon or Class II codon usage patterns, suggesting no metabolic constraints on recombinant p3 synthesis. There is an overall depression in the occurrence of cysteine, arginine and glycine residues and an overabundance of proline, threonine and histidine residues. The majority of position-dependent amino acid sequence bias is clustered at three positions within the inserted peptides of the dodecapeptide library, +1, +3 and +12 downstream from the signal peptidase cleavage site. Conformational tendency measures of the peptides indicate a significant preference for inserts favoring a β-turn conformation. The observed protein sequence limitations can primarily be attributed to genetic codon degeneracy and signal peptidase cleavage preferences. These data suggest that for applications in which maximal sequence diversity is essential, such as epitope mapping or novel receptor identification, combinatorial peptide libraries should be constructed using codon-corrected trinucleotide cassettes within vector–host systems designed to minimize morphogenesis-related censorship.

Both mutations promote the formation of transient protofibrils (prefibrillar oligomers), suggesting that protofibrils are linked to cytotoxicity. In this work, the effect of these mutations on the structure of α-synuclein oligomers was investigated using electron microscopy and digital image processing. The PD-linked mutations (A30P and A53T) were observed to affect both the morphology and the size distribution of α-synuclein protofibrils (measured by analytical ultracentrifugation and scanning transmission electron microscopy). The A30P variant was observed to promote the formation of annular, pore-like protofibrils, whereas A53T promotes formation of annular and tubular protofibrillar structures. Wild-type α-synuclein also formed annular protofibrils, but only after extended incubation. The formation of pore-like oligomeric structures may explain the membrane permeabilization activity of α-synuclein protofibrils. These structures may contribute to the pathogenesis of PD.

Aluminum TWBs consist of multiple sheet materials of different thicknesses or alloys that are butt-welded together into a single, variable thickness blank. To evaluate the performance of the weld material in TWBs, a series of tensile tests were conducted at superplastic temperatures with specimens that contained weld material in the gage area. The sheet material used in the study was SKY 5083 aluminum alloy, which was joined to produce the TWBs by gas tungsten arc welding using an AA5356 filler wire. The experimental results show that, in the temperature range of 500–550 °C and at strain rates ranging from 10−4 to 10−2 s−1, the weld material has a higher flow stress and lower ductility than the monolithic sheet material. The weld material exhibited elongations of 40–60% under these conditions, whereas the monolithic sheet achieved 220–360% elongation. At the same temperatures and strain rates, the weld material exhibited flow stresses 1.3–4 times greater than the flow stress in the monolithic sheet. However, the weld material did show a substantial increase in the strain rate sensitivity when compared to the same material formed at room temperature.

Several such synergistic events are briefly described. These include the design and development of magnetic refrigerant materials (1) for the liquefaction of H2 gas, and (2) for near-room temperature cooling and refrigeration; and (3) the design and development of cryocooler regenerator materials. The first led to the discovery of both supercooling and superheating in the same substance (Dy and Er); the second to the discovery of the giant magnetocaloric effect, the colossal magnetostriction, and the giant magnetoresistance in the same substance [Gd5(SixGe1−x)4]; and the third the disappearance of three of the four magnetically ordered phases in Er by Pr additions in both high purity Er and commercial grade Er.

We overcome the problem of continuous spectrum discretization by using a resonance expansion.

For Q2, with Qs the saturation momentum, this is the scaling predicted by the Colour Glass Condensate and by phenomenological saturation models. For 1≲ln(Q2/Qs2)≪ln(Qs2/Λ2QCD), we show that the solution to the BFKL equation shows approximate scaling, with the scale set by Qs. At larger Q2, this solution does not scale any longer. We argue that for the intermediate values of Q2 where we find scaling, the BFKL rather than the double logarithmic approximation to the DGLAP equation properly describes the dynamics. We consider both fixed and running couplings, with the scale for running set by the saturation momentum. The anomalous dimension which characterizes the approach of the gluon distribution function towards saturation is found to be close to, but lower than, one half.

The nominally single-phase mullite deforms by diffusional flow with a stress exponent of 1 (for higher stresses) and an activation energy of 385±20 kJ/mol. It is likely that the rate-controlling diffusing species is oxygen. Creep of the Y2O3-containing specimens was similar to that of the pure mullite at 1300 °C. Near and above the temperature at which melting was observed in DTA, the Y2O3-containing specimens crept significantly faster than the pure mullite. Models of creep of materials that contain a glass phase can explain most, but not all, of the observed behavior. Creep rates were not significantly affected by partial crystallization of the glass to Y2Si2O7, but the crystallized specimens exhibited cavitation at larger strains.

These errors cause large parasitic flows when the capillary number is large and have often been attributed to truncation error in underresolved interfacial regions. A study using the second-gradient method reveals that when truncation error is eliminated in the computation of energy exchanges between surface and kinetic energies so that energy is strictly conserved, the parasitic currents are reduced to round-off. The results are based on general thermodynamic arguments and can be used to guide improvements in other methods, such as the continuum-surface-force (CSF) method, which is commonly used with the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method.

This charge distribution is generated by Chern–Simons number fluctuations associated with the dynamics of strong classical fields in the initial state. The distribution is found to be quite narrow at RHIC and LHC energies; we argue that this is a consequence of the strict boost invariance of the initial field configurations. A substantial generation of topological charge, as required in the P-odd bubble scenario [D. Kharzeev, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81 (1998) 512], can only occur if strict boost invariance is lost in the later stages of the collision. This could be naturally achieved if the system approaches thermalization.

We study, in leading order in the 1/N expansion, the dynamics of the chiral phase transition for an expanding plasma of quarks in the Gross–Neveu model in 2+1 dimensions assuming boost invariant kinematics. We compare the time evolution of the order parameter (mass of the fermion) for evolutions starting in the unbroken and broken phases. The proper time evolution of the order parameter resembles previous results in the (1+1)-dimensional GN model in the same approximation. The time needed to traverse the transition is insensitive to μ.

The final structure, which refined to a Pendry R-factor (RP) of 0.24, had a surface corrugation (Δ1) of 0.24±0.04 A˚ due to the Li+ being displaced towards the bulk, leaving the initially coplanar F− unshifted. A similar intralayer corrugation due to the movement of the Li+ was also observed in the layer immediately under the surface layer, although to a lesser degree: Δ2=0.07±0.04 A˚. This asymmetric relaxation resulted in the reduction of the first interlayer spacing, d(F2–Li1), to 1.77±0.06 A˚ from the ideal value of 2.01 A˚. The second interlayer spacing, d(Li3–F2), was within error bars of the bulk value, 2.01 A˚.

This work reports a comparative study of the electronic structure of the bulk and of the (0 0 1) metal surface (assumed to be the reactive surface) for the Sc–Zn monosulphides. The systems were modelled using the NiAs prototype crystal structure for the bulk and by applying the supercell model with seven atomic layers for the (0 0 1) surfaces. The electronic structure of closed-packed solids code based on the density-functional theory and adopting the muffin-tin approximation to the potential was employed in the calculations of the electronic properties. For the Co and Ni sulphides, the density of states (DOS) variations between the metal atom present in the bulk and the ones exposed at the surface show that at the surface, there exists a higher DOS in the occupied states region just below the Fermi level. This feature might indicate a good performance of these two metal sulphides as substrates in the HDS reactions favouring a donation, back-donation mechanism. In contrast, the DOS at the surface of Mn is increased in the unoccupied states region, just above the Fermi level. This suggests the possibility of a strong interaction with charge donating sulphur adsorbate atoms poisoning the active substrate surface.

T1 - Photobleaching of GFP-labeled H2AX in chromatin: H2AX has low diffusional mobility in the nucleus JO - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications JF - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications Y1 - 2002/10/11/ VL - 297 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1318 SN - 0006291X AB - The Ser-139 phosphorylated form of replacement histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) is induced within large chromatin domains by double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) in mammalian chromosomes. This modification is known to be important for the maintenance of chromosome stability. However, the mechanism of γ-H2AX formation at DSBs and its subsequent elimination during DSB repair remains unknown. γ-H2AX formation and elimination could occur by direct phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of H2AX in situ in the chromatin. Alternatively, H2AX molecules could be phosphorylated freely in the nucleus, diffuse into chromatin regions containing DSBs and then diffuse out after DNA repair. In this study we show that free histone H2AX can be efficiently phosphorylated in vitro by nuclear extracts and that free γ-H2AX can be dephosphorylated in vitro by the mammalian protein phosphatase 1-α. We made N-terminal fusion constructs of H2AX with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and studied their diffusional mobility in transient and stable cell transfections. In the absence or presence of DSBs, only a small fraction of GFP-H2AX is redistributed after photobleaching, indicating that in vivo this histone is essentially immobile in chromatin. This suggests that γ-H2AX formation in chromatin is unlikely to occur by diffusion of free histone and γ-H2AX dephosphorylation may involve the mammalian protein phosphatase 1α.

Analysis of the data suggests that the principal domain wall pinning mechanism does not involve the grain boundaries but instead arises from interactions between either the ferromagnetic glass or the ferromagnetic Dy3Al2 phase with the antiferromagnetic DyAl second phase through an exchange bias mechanism.

T1 - Springtime hydrography of the southern Middle Atlantic Bight and the onset of seasonal stratification JO - Deep-Sea Research Part II, Topical Studies in Oceanography JF - Deep-Sea Research Part II, Topical Studies in Oceanography Y1 - 2002/10/15/ VL - 49 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 4297 SN - 09670645 AB - The Ocean Margins Program was a major multi-disciplinary observational effort in the southern Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB), focusing on the transformation, retention, and export of biogenic materials from the shelf. The observational effort peaked in the spring and summer of 1996 with four ship-based surveys, augmented by an array of 26 moorings supporting 126 temperature and 118 salinity sensors. The data from the cruises and moored array are used to describe how the springtime hydrographic evolution takes place in an area in which five water masses locally vie for dominance and that is subject to strong wind stress, heat flux, and offshore forcing. The results show that the region is subject to large-scale intrusions from both the north and south, which materially affect the timing and development of stratified conditions. The intrusions from the north are wind driven and provide cold, moderately saline, unstratifed water, delaying the development of stratified conditions. Intrusions also occur from the south, where warmer and generally more saline waters from the South Atlantic Bight are driven into the area by alongshore winds and/or intrusions of Gulf Stream waters pushed shoreward by Gulf Stream frontal eddies. In 1996, an intrusion of saline water from the south, combined with a reversal of the alongshore winds from the north, slowed the southward flow of cold MAB water, and subsequently caused low-salinity Virginia Coastal Waters to spread out from the coastal plume over the denser water from the north. With the reduced alongshelf flow and an initial stratification provided by the low-salinity coastal water, solar insolation and sensible heat fluxes were then able to warm the surface layer, permanently establishing the seasonal thermocline/halocline for the area not directly impacted by intrusions from the Gulf Stream and South Atlantic Bight.

The M2 tide, a frictionally modified Poincare wave, was manifested as a clockwise-rotating, elliptically polarized wave, with predominantly cross-shelf orientation of the ellipse, and an axis ratio of ∼0.6 in upper layer waters and in offshore waters. However, bottom friction compressed and rotated the tidal ellipses in shallow and near-bottom waters. Elliptically polarized, clockwise-rotating motions were evident at near-inertial (∼20 h) and diurnal (∼24 h) periods. The wind field was dominated by 2–14 day events centered about 4–8 days. Due to the location and track of mesoscale atmospheric events, the wind field over the southern portion of the array was far more energetic than over the northern portion. The winds prior to 17 April had higher variances than after 17 April. Sub-diurnal frequency currents were dynamically responsive to the wind field at all locations and were stronger in the southern portion of the array. The shelf-wide, southward drift of Middle Atlantic Bight waters contributed to the weekly to monthly scales of motion. Shelf-wide, the record length means were generally southward, with an offshore component in near-bottom waters. However, a significant finding was that near the 21 m isobath on the north line of moorings, just south of the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, the mean flow was into the Bay, providing a means for the import of marine sediment into the estuary. In the southeastern-most corner of the array, north of Diamond Shoals in 36 m of water, the flows were persistently directed offshore. Following southward wind events, an inability to propagate Kelvin waves northward along the coast traps a buildup of water against Diamond Shoals such that the only way for it to relax is through a geostrophically balanced offshore transport of shelf waters. The Chesapeake Bay Plume and Middle Atlantic Bight Waters often breached Diamond Shoals and invaded the South Atlantic Bight during the passage of movement northward with southward-directed wind events, particularly extra-tropical cyclones. Following the mid-April transition to persistent northward winds, Carolina Capes Water moved northward across Diamond Shoals and induced a transition from well-mixed wintertime to vertically stratified summertime hydrographic conditions.

T1 - Primary production on the continental shelf off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina JO - Deep-Sea Research Part II, Topical Studies in Oceanography JF - Deep-Sea Research Part II, Topical Studies in Oceanography Y1 - 2002/10/15/ VL - 49 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 4479 SN - 09670645 AB - Distributions of primary production and chlorophyll size structure were examined in relationship to hydrographic properties during March and July 1996 in continental shelf waters off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Chlorophyll concentrations ranged highest (>10 mg m−3) during March. Peak values were associated with subsurface maxima near the shelf edge, which were dominated by larger (>8 μm) phytoplankton. In July, chlorophyll concentrations were generally lower with higher proportions associated with the <8 μm size fraction. Primary production was determined using a wavelength-resolved photosynthesis–irradiance model. Model performance was evaluated by comparison of modeled and measured estimates of optical properties and simulated in situ primary production. Regional patterns of primary production determined using the model revealed high water-column-integrated primary production during March (>2.0 g C m−2 d−1) in association with the shelf–slope front. In contrast, highest values in July (>3.0 g C m−2 d−1) were associated with an intrusion of high-salinity, high-nutrient water into the southern portion of the study region. Average shelf-wide productivities were 1.3 g C m−2 d−1 in March and 2.1 g C m−2 d−1 in July. Contemporaneous Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer sea-surface temperature imagery revealed that regions of high productivity were proximal to Gulf Stream circulation features. In March, cross-shelf sections of hydrographic properties and nutrients provided evidence for onshore displacement of the shelf–slope front, apparently related to the combined effects of the strong winds prior to the cruise and the offshore presence of energetic Gulf Stream processes. We speculate that variable forcing, related to the dynamics of the Gulf Stream and wind, resulted in significant frontal displacement and frontal velocity fluctuations leading to enhanced mixing and injection of nutrients across the frontal boundary. In July, Gulf Stream circulation, in conjunction with upwelling favorable conditions, resulted in a subsurface intrusion of high-nutrient water onto the shelf analogous to similar phenomena observed in the South Atlantic Bight. Localized regions of enhanced productivity appear to be quantitatively important in the overall carbon/nitrogen budget of the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight shelf.

The first cruise was conducted in March 1996, reflecting well-mixed conditions just prior to the spring transition, while the second cruise was conducted during July 1996 when the water column was more stratified. During each cruise, primary production and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pigments for the whole community and <8-μm size fraction were determined for several successive days within a discrete water mass by following a near-surface tracking drogue.In March, production ranged from 0.50 to 0.65 g C m−2 d−1, with 52–62% of the production attributed to the smaller size fraction. About 50% of the total chlorophyll a (chl a) was found in the >8-μm size fraction. Pigment composition was dominated by chlorophylls a, c1 and c2, and fucoxanthin, indicating the importance of diatoms. In July, production was more variable, ranging from 0.38 to 2.09 g C m−2 d−1, with 41–83% of production attributed to the <8-μm size fraction. Rates increased over the 4-day study. Most of the chl a was found in the <8-μm size fraction. The phytoplankton pigments were dominated by chl a and fucoxanthin with chlorophylls c1 and c2, again indicating the importance of diatoms during this cruise.CHEMTAX (Mackey et al. CHEMTAX User''s Manual: a program for estimating class abundances from chemical markers—application to HPLC measurements of phytoplankton pigments. CSIRO Marine Laboratories, Report 229, Hobart, 42 pp.), a factor analysis computer program, was used to examine phytoplankton community structure using marker pigments from our HPLC analyses to determine the relative importance of various taxa. In March, diatoms dominated whole water samples, with consistent contributions from dinoflagellates and cryptophytes. The <8-μm fraction was dominated by small diatoms, chrysophytes, cryptophytes and dinoflagellates. In July, diatoms were still present and important, but prymnesiophytes, cryptophytes and cyanobacteria contributed in both size classes. Correlation analyses indicated that primary production was positively correlated with light and temperature. Chl a biomass was positively correlated with the concentrations of NO2+NO3 and negatively correlated with temperature. These correlations support the observation that temperature played a major role in the phytoplankton dynamics in this shelf ecosystem.

The study periods were March, and June/July 1994 and 1996. Meteorological forcing was not pronounced during the periods of observation. Hydrographic conditions differed clearly between March 1994 and 1996, which was reflected in zooplankton biomass in the entire water column (mg C m−2), which was higher in 1994 and 1996. There was little difference during summer in hydrographic conditions and metazooplankton biomass between 1994 and 1996. Local biomass maxima were much more pronounced in March than during summer. The magnitudes of biomass abundance in March are close to the highest values encountered elsewhere on continental shelves and slopes. Those in summer only occasionally reflect those of highly productive ocean margins.The composition of dominant taxa hardly varied between the March studies, but differed to some extent between June 1994 and July 1996. The composition of post-naupliar stages of the abundant copepod genera Centropages and Temora differed within seasons, showing different states of reproductive activity. Short-term observations like ours on the abundance, distribution and composition of metazooplankton assemblages provide limited insight into intraseasonal and interannual variability.

T1 - Coupling between primary production and pelagic consumption in temperate ocean margin pelagic ecosystems JO - Deep-Sea Research Part II, Topical Studies in Oceanography JF - Deep-Sea Research Part II, Topical Studies in Oceanography Y1 - 2002/10/15/ VL - 49 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 4553 SN - 09670645 AB - Three fates potentially consume primary production occurring on ocean margins: portions can be oxidized within the water column, portions can sediment to shelf/slope depots, and portions can be exported to the interior ocean. Zooplankton mediate all three of these processes and thus can alter the pathway and residence time of particulate organic carbon. As part of both US DOE- and NSF-sponsored studies on the Cape Hatteras and South Atlantic Bight (SAB) shelves, the role of microzooplankton in these processes was determined by measuring phytoplankton production and its consumption by microzooplankton. Grazing and growth rates were measured during 46 dilution incubation experiments using chlorophyll a (chl a) as a proxy for phytoplankton (prey) biomass. Chl a production and grazing were determined for the <200 μm phytoplankton community and also the <8 μm size class. Primary production at Cape Hatteras was determined using H14CO3− incubations during two Lagrangian drifter studies lasting several days in March and July 1996. From similar measurements during cross-shelf transects over larger spatial scales, primary production was also calculated for the Hatteras study area using a wavelength-resolved bio-optical model.Primary production during the Lagrangian studies was generally 0.5–1.0 gC/m2/d in March and 0.5–2.0 gC/m2/d in July. Modeled estimates of primary production for the larger Hatteras study region in March and July averaged 1.8 gC/m2/d. Typically, <8 μm cells contributed one-half or more of primary production. Positive linear regressions described relationships between phytoplankton production measured as changes in chl a and its grazing by microzooplankton. In the dilution experiments conducted throughout the SAB and Hatteras shelves, microzooplankton grazed 65% of <200 μm chl a production, and 81% of <8 μm chl a production. These relationships were temperature-dependent: losses of chl a production in both size fractions to microzooplankton herbivory increased with increasing temperature. Higher grazing rates were found in the <8μm compared to the <200 μm size class. Model regressions were used to estimate the impact of microzooplankton grazing on H14CO3−-derived estimates of primary production in Cape Hatteras shelf waters. Integrated water column grazing removed 40% and 58% of <200 μm and <8 μm primary production, respectively, during the Lagrangian experiment in March, and 61% and 74% in July. Averaged over larger spatial scales using a bio-optical model, microzooplankton ingested 42% and 61% of primary production in March and July, respectively, with an overall mean of 52%. These data generally support the notion that, contrary to traditional paradigms about shelf ecosystems, small autotrophs contributed significantly to production, and that this carbon was actively incorporated into the microbial food web.

We present an alternative hypothesis: convection-driven plate motions are intrinsically unstable due to a buoyant instability that develops as a result of the influence of plates on an internally heated mantle. This instability, which has not been described before, is responsible for episodic reorganizations of plate motion. Numerical mantle convection experiments demonstrate that high-Rayleigh number convection with internal heating and surface plates is sufficient to induce plate reorganization events, changes in plate boundary forces, or plate geometry, are not required.

Our results document the existence of three chemical processes that probably occur in large icy satellites as a result of high pressure hydrothermal processing: (1) the formation of low-density hydrated silicates, (2) the alloying of iron and sulfur to form FeS-dominated cores, and (3) the instability of organic material relative to carbonates. We construct new internal models of the thermal and structural state of Ganymede, and infer that the magnetic field of this body arises from convection within a mostly iron sulfide core. Simple thermochemical calculations are conducted to further explore the likely effects of composition and oxygen fugacity on the high pressure chemistry undergone by organic material within icy satellites. Both experimental and calculated results show that primordial organics are likely to have been largely oxidized to carbonates through hydrothermal processing early in Ganymede’s history, potentially sterilizing Ganymede’s H2O layer.

T1 - Later Pleistocene/Holocene climate conditions of Qinghai–Xizhang Plateau (Tibet) based on carbon and oxygen stable isotopes of Zabuye Lake sediments JO - Earth & Planetary Science Letters JF - Earth & Planetary Science Letters Y1 - 2002/10/15/ VL - 203 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 461 SN - 0012821X AB - We present a time series of carbon and oxygen stable isotope records of the last 30 000 14C years throughout the last glacial–postglacial cycle from western Qinghai–Xizhang (Tibet) Plateau. A 20-m core drilled in the south basin of Zabuye Salt Lake was analyzed for inorganic and organic carbon and total sulfur contents, δ13C and δ18O values of carbonates. Our results indicate that climatic changes have led to a drastic negative shift of stable isotope ratios at the transition between the Last Full Glacial and the postglacial phase during Later Pleistocene times (∼16.2 kyr BP), and a rapid positive shift at the transition from Pleistocene to Holocene (∼10.6 kyr BP). The first shift is marked by the drop of δ18Ocarb values of about 10‰ (from +2 to −8‰) and δ13Ccarb values of about 3‰ (from 5 to 2‰). The second shift which occurred at the transition from Pleistocene to Holocene was of similar magnitude but in the opposite direction. Isotope data, combined with total organic and inorganic carbon contents and the lithological composition of the core, suggest this lake was an alluvial pre-lake environment prior to ca. 28 14C kyr BP. During ca. 28–16.2 14C kyr BP, Zabuye Lake was likely a moderately deep lake with limited outflow. The cool and arid glacial climate led the lake level to drop drastically. Extended residence time overwhelmed the lower temperature and caused a steady increase of δ13Ccarb and δ18Ocarb values and total inorganic carbon content in the sediments. During ca. 16.2–10.6 14C kyr BP, this lake probably overflowed and received abundant recharge from melting glaciers when the deglaciation was in its full speed. A spike of markedly enhanced δ13Ccarb and δ18Ocarb is seen at ∼11.5 kyr BP, probably due to the isotopic effects left behind by the short but severe Younger Dryas (YD) event. After ca. 10.6 14C kyr BP, Zabuye Lake probably closed its surface outflow, due to strong desiccation and drastic climate warming. The Early and Middle Holocene were characterized by unstable climatic conditions with alternating warmer/cooler episodes as indicated by the severe fluctuations of total organic carbon, δ13C and δ18O values. A hypersaline salt lake environment was finally formed at Zabuye after ∼5 14C kyr BP when the mirabilite and halite concentrations steadily increased and became the dominant minerals in the sediments. Severe imbalance of inflow/outflow resulted in the drastic increase of total sulfur, δ13Ccarb and δ18Ocarb values and dominance of halite in the lake since ca. 3.8 kyr BP to present.

Representative lanthanide ions, Ln+ and LnO+, and tantalum ions, Ta+ and TaO+, were studied for comparison. The product branching ratios for both primary and secondary reactions of the actinide ions demonstrated gas-phase organoactinide chemistry that is quite disparate from organolanthanide chemistry under comparable conditions for this neutral reactant. Particularly revealing were product distributions for ThO+ and UO+, which indicated chemical behavior similar to that of bare Sm+. We conclude that at least one valence electron at the metal center of the actinide oxide ions must remain chemically active. In the case of UO+, this provides evidence for the chemical engagement of the quasi-valence 5f electrons, which is in distinct contrast to the inert character of the 4f electrons of the lanthanides in both Ln+ and LnO+. Mass-selective chemistry of two primary products, UC10H10+ and UC9H8+, also showed behavior similar to that of Sm+ and UO+, implying that there are two covalent organouranium bonds in these complex ions. In comparing the QIT results for the lanthanides with those from a low-pressure ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometry study [Organometallics 16 (1997) 3845], qualitative agreement was found, but significant quantitative differences were apparent. Based on results from collision-induced dissociation and effects of variations in bath gas pressure in the QIT, we conclude that the discrepancies arise from the very different pressure regimes in the ICR and QIT. Evidently, the QIT can be operated over a range of pressures that manifest effects of collisional cooling for some reactions. For the lowest pressure QIT experiments, the high degree of fragmentation is reminiscent of the ICR results. We propose that the QIT bath gas can essentially act as an inert “solvent,” which serves to mediate high-energy processes due to energy transfer from nascent hot intermediate products via energy-dissipating collisions.

In addition, we present examples of our most recent three-dimensional high-resolution images, for which it was possible to resolve individual pores and to delineate air–water interfacial contacts. This kind of resolution provides a novel opportunity to follow the dynamic flow behavior on the pore scale and to verify new theoretical and numerical modeling approaches.

The whole MKdV hierarchy both positive and negative is generated by the kernel elements of Lenard''s operators pair and recursion operator. Through solving a key operator equation, the whole MKdV hierarchy is shown to have the Lax representation. In particular, some new integrable equation together with the Liouville equations, the sine-Gordon equation, and the sinh-Gordon equation are derived from the negative order MKdV hierarchy. It is very interesting that the restricted flow, corresponding to the negative order MKdV hierarchy, is just a new kind of Neumann-like system. This new Neumann-like system is obtained through restricting the MKdV spectral problem onto a symplectic submanifold and is proven to be completely integrable under the Dirac–Poisson bracket, which we define on the symplectic submanifold. Finally, with the help of the constraint between the Neumann-like system and the negative order MKdV hierarchy, all equations in the hierarchy are proven to have the parametric representations of solutions. In particular, we obtain the parametric solutions of the sine-Gordon equation and the sinh-Gordon equation.

This is a US DoE cost-shared Superconductivity Partnership Initiative (SPI) Project, with the objective of developing a conceptual design for a commercial 30-MVA superconducting utility power transformer, and furthermore designing and building a prototype 5/10-MVA transformer that will be operated on the utility power grid at the main WES plant in Waukesha, WI. The design approach for both of these transformers is to place both the core and cold mass inside the vacuum tank. Commercial cryocoolers are used to cool the superconducting windings below 40 K. This approach avoids the use of expensive non-conducting cryostats. It allows a flexible tradeoff between operating temperature and length of conductor to produce a cost-optimized design with the best currently available conductor. Activities in the participant organizations will be summarized as follows: WEScore cooling and conventional component design, IGC-SPsuperconducting coil, coil cooling and lead development and cryogenic suspension, ORNLAC loss measurements, cryogenic dielectric tests, and cryogenic cooling module design, and RG&Eoperational needs and utility perspectives.

These measurements, performed on fully sheathed multifilament-type Ag/Bi-2223 wire specimens, provided high resolution diffraction patterns that revealed (1) the phases present in the cores of the superconducting filaments and (2) the nature and quality of the Bi-2223 grain colony texture. In addition to the Bi-2223 phase, we were able to detect and to monitor specimen-to-specimen variations in the relative amounts of Bi-2212, Bi-2201, and the “3221” phase. The scattering geometry used (X-ray beam perpendicular to the Ag/Bi-2223 conductor rolling direction) resulted in the detection of several remarkably intense diffraction lines of Bi-2223, most notably the (2 0 0)/(0 2 0) pair, that were highly useful for recording pole figure maps evidencing the contiguous fiber texture microstructure of the Bi-2223 grain colonies. The nondestructive nature of the 25 keV transmission XRD method offers many advantages for the comprehensive study of phase evolution and microstructure development in Ag/Bi-2223 composite conductors.

SEM observation shows that a uniform high-degree of texture is formed throughout the thickness of the tapes by the magnetic field Ha during MMP, whereas a large portion of the area is non-textured without Ha. The critical current density Jc of the tapes increases with increasing Ha up to about 6 T due to the texture development. However, when Ha>6 T some disturbance in Jc appears; one is increased and the other is decreased. This may be due to the change of O2 atmosphere around the tapes during MMP, which comes from the change of O2 gas flowing by the magnetic field. The results suggest that a high magnetic field is very effective to enhance the texture development and to fabricate tapes with high critical current Ic.

This process is promising for the fabrication of the second-generation superconducting wires. Biaxially aligned MgO films (1.5 μm thick) were deposited on polished Hastelloy C276 (HC) substrates by ISD at deposition rates of 20–100 A˚/s. Buffer films were subsequently deposited on these template films, and YBCO films were deposited epitaxially on the substrates by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray pole figure analysis and φ- and ω-scans were used for texture characterization. Good in- and out-of-plane textures were observed, with MgO(0 0 2) φ-scan full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 9.2° and ω-scan FWHM of 5.4°, respectively. Tc of 90 K with a sharp transition, and Jc≈2×105 A/cm2, were obtained on a 0.5 μm thick, 0.5 cm wide, and 1 cm long YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) film at 77 K in self-field.

We have refined the process by improving substrate preparation and by using reflected high-energy electron diffraction to monitor and improve IBAD MgO films. High quality, continuously processed IBAD MgO (c-IBAD) has been deposited on moving meter-length metal tape. By incorporating these optimized processing parameters, we have been able to deposit biaxially textured MgO on metallic substrates continuously with the best in-plane mosaic spreads near 9°. The subsequent pulsed laser deposition of 1–2 μm thick YBCO films on c-IBAD has resulted in superconducting transport critical current densities>1 MA/cm2 (75 K, SF) on small area samples. Longer 4.5 cm samples of c-IBAD tape have also been coated with a 1 cm wide sample carrying 93 A (75 K, SF) for a 1.5 μm thick YBCO.

T1 - Alternative HTS coated conductors JO - Physica C JF - Physica C Y1 - 2002/10/15/ VL - 382 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 72 SN - 09214534 AB - The availability of Bi-2223 high-temperature-superconductor (HTS) powder-in-tube (PIT) tape, with acceptable performance for long lengths, has provided the ability to construct a wide range of HTS electric power components. As a result, there are major worldwide projects in developing HTS electric power components for demonstration in a utility environment. Utility acceptance for superconducting power equipment will depend on several key factors: improved system performance, lower life-cycle costs, higher efficiency versus conventional technology, reliability and maintenance comparable to conventional power equipment, and a competitive installed cost. The latter is impacted by the current high cost of HTS conductors, which must be lowered to costs comparable to conventional Nb–Ti wire, i.e., $2–5/kAm. The present performance and cost of state-of-the-art Bi-2223 HTS tape, although acceptable for prototype construction, is viewed as a major deterrent that may compromise eventual commercialization for most of these electric power devices. The so-called second-generation coated conductor development, with emphasis on conductors employing HTS YBCO films, is viewed as the solution to this performance and cost issue. The potential for the Tl, Hg, and Bi-oxide superconductors for producing an HTS tape as alternatives to Bi-2223 PIT (and YBCO) will be discussed with some recent results on Bi-2212 “coated conductor” development.

The binary compounds AGa2 were found to be non-superconducting above 2 K, even though they have the same valence electron number per formula as MgB2 and greater lattice parameters than MgB2. However, by varying the valence electron number, they become superconducting. This result suggests that the electronic structures of this class of compounds depend on more than just the valence electron density and the lattice parameters. The theoretical prediction that the Tc of MgB2 could be enhanced with the proper dopant to increase its carrier density or to expand the lattice could not be verified.

Electric field vs current density (E–J) isotherms of the MgB2 and YBa2Cu3O7−δ high-temperature superconductors were measured and analyzed in terms of the critical scaling model. E–J isotherm sets were taken at fields ranging from 2 to 90 kOe. Scaling and resistivity data reveal a smooth transition from a vortex glass to a vortex liquid state for the bulk MgB2 sample and the existence of both a vortex lattice melting line and a vortex glass to vortex liquid line in the YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystal. The critical scaling exponents for both systems are presented. A more complete (H–T) phase diagram, containing the upper critical field Hc2(T), the vortex-glass transition line Hg(T), and the magnetic irreversibility line Hirr(T) was established for bulk MgB2.

The number of oxo ligands formed from the esterification pathway was found to be dictated by the temperature of the reaction mixture, as well as the steric bulk of the carboxylate ligand. For the Nb systems, independent of the temperature of the reaction, [Nb(μ-OBc)(ONep)3]2(μ-O) (3) and [Nb2(μ-O)2(μ-ONc)2(ONep)4]2 (4) were isolated. For the room temperature reactions of the Ta systems, [Ta(μ-OBc)(ONep)3]2(μ-O) (5) and [Ta(μ-ONc)(ONep)4]2 (6) were formed but upon heating, [Ta2(μ-O)2(μ-OBc)2(ONep)4]2 (7) and [Ta(μ-ONc)(ONep)3]2(μ-O) (8) were isolated. [Ta2(μ-O)2(μ-ONc)2(ONep)4]2 (9) was also identified from a concentrated heated reaction mixture of 2 and HONc. The arrangements observed for 3, 5, 6, and 8 were dinuclear symmetric structures, wherein each metal was isolated in an octahedral (Oh) geometry with bridging ORc ligands. For 3, 5, and 8, an oxo ligand bridges the two metal centers which was not observed for 6. For 4, 7, and 9 the general structure consists of two “M2(μ-O)2(μ-ORc)2(ONep)4” moieties that are linked by oxo ligands forming an [M&z.sbnd;O]4 eight-member ring as the central core. Each Oh bound metal center possesses two bridging ORc and two terminal ONep ligands. Compounds 3–8 were further characterized by solid-state MAS NMR wherein the bulk powders are in agreement with the single crystal structures. Solution NMR studies indicated that the solid-state arrangements are retained in solution. Combined, the structural information garnered from these compounds define the step-wise esterification mechanism of Group V metal alkoxides.

X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to determine the film structure; scanning electron microscopy was employed to characterize the film surface topography; and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was performed to examine the film compositions and chemical bonding states of constituents. The mechanical properties of thin films such as hardness and elastic modulus were determined by nanoindentation tests. Results showed that the as-deposited films were amorphous, possessing a complex oxide glass structure, and this structure was stable up to 1223 K. The preferential reaction of Al, Mg and B with O inhibits the formation of crystalline AlMgB14. The absence of B&z.sbnd;B bonds and nanocrystalline structure leads to nanohardness values for as-deposited films as low as approximately 10 GPa. The intrinsic hardness of the film could not be evaluated exactly because of surface roughness and substrate effects. It was found that the density of particulates in the films was drastically reduced by the use of a fs-pulsed laser source, suggesting that fs-PLD is a potential method for decreasing surface roughness.

However, because the displacement compatibility condition at interfaces between layers must be satisfied, the complexity in obtaining a closed-form solution increases with the number of layers in the system. As a result, existing analyses often adopt simplifications (e.g. assuming a constant elastic modulus throughout the system) to obtain closed-form solutions or are solved numerically by computer. The present study develops an analytical model, in which the complexity in obtaining a closed-form solution is independent of the number of layers and an exact closed-form solution can be concisely formulated. Specific results are calculated for elastic thermal stresses in (AlGa)As laser diodes, which consist of five layers. Also, the zero-order and the first-order approximations are formulated based on the exact closed-form solution, and their accuracy is examined. The acceptability of assuming a constant elastic modulus in the system in existing analyses is also discussed.

This material is a promising new diluted magnetic semiconductor that shows large magnetization and a Curie temperature well above room temperature. We have found that epitaxial films with the highest crystalline quality and most uniform distribution of Co result when a rather slow growth rate (∼0.01 nm/s) is used over a substrate temperature range of 550–600 °C on LaAlO3(001). These conditions result in layer-by-layer growth of single-crystal films and a very low density of extremely small nanocrystalline inclusions. In contrast, growth at a higher rate (∼0.04 nm/s) leads to extensive formation of secondary-phase rutile nanocrystals to which Co diffuses and segregates. The rutile nanocrystals nucleate on the evolving anatase film surface in such a way that lattice strain between the two phases is minimized. Cobalt appears to substitute for Ti in the lattice and exhibits a +2 formal oxidation state. Both pure and Co-doped films can be grown as n-type semiconductors by controlled incorporation of oxygen atom vacancies. Free electrons are required to couple the Co(II) spin to a ferromagnetic state.

Rapid assays for evaluating the potential of a chemical or physical agent to alter the transcriptional regulatory role of p53 may therefore serve as useful tools in toxicological research. In this study, the use of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a live cell reporter to assess the transactivation response of p53 to chemical and physical agents was evaluated. A stable murine bone marrow stromal cell line (D2XRIIGFP24) expressing EGFP under control of p53 response elements was established. D2XRIIGFP24 cells displayed low constitutive background fluorescence which was significantly enhanced in response to exposure to agents that induced p53 protein levels. Increases in EGFP fluorescence in response to oxidative and nitrosative stress as well as UVC irradiation were dose-dependent, detectable within 3 h of exposure and correlated closely with the amount of p53 protein accumulated within the cell. The results demonstrate the potential for rapid and early detection of p53 transactivation using the EGFP reporter approach and indicate this approach is adaptable to a variety of fluorescent assay techniques and a useful cell model for molecular toxicology research.

The osmotic second virial coefficient and weight-average molecular weight are reported from low-angle laser-light scattering measurements for PLL as a function of NaCl concentration, pH, and α-helix or β-sheet content. Interactions between PLL molecules become more attractive as salt concentration increases due to screening of PLL charge by salt ions and at low salt concentration become more attractive as pH increases due to decreased net charge on PLL. The experimental results show that interactions are stronger for the β-sheet conformation than for the α-helix conformation. A spherically-symmetric model for the potential of mean force is used to account for specific interactions not described by DLVO theory and to show how differences in secondary structure affect PLL interactions.

T1 - Glutamine 53 is a Gatekeeper Residue in the FK506 Binding Protein JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2002/10/18/ VL - 323 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 285 SN - 00222836 AB - The effect of non-random conformational averaging in the urea-unfolded state on the folding pathway has been investigated in a variant of the FK506 binding protein with three additional residues at the amino terminus (FKBP*). Three mutations (asparagine, aspartate, and threonine) were introduced into position Q53 to enhance formation of non-native helix observed in this part of the protein in the urea-unfolded state. NMR analysis showed minor structural changes in the native state of each mutant, but additional medium-range αN(i,i+2) of each mutant nuclear Overhauser enhancements were observed in the urea-unfolded state that were not in FKBP*, indicating that the mutations had a more substantial effect on the unfolded state ensemble than on the native state ensemble. Isothermal equilibrium denaturation measurements showed that the Q53T and Q53D mutants were destabilized, whereas the Q53N mutant was stabilized relative to FKBP* with little change in the equilibrium m values. The unfolding rates of Q53N and Q53T were similar to that of FKBP*, but Q53D unfolded twice as fast as FKBP*. In contrast, the mutations had a more pronounced effect on the refolding kinetics. Q53N refolded slightly faster and exhibited a kinetic folding intermediate similar to that of FKBP*. The Q53D and Q53T mutants also refolded faster than FKBP* but lacked the folding intermediate, indicating that these mutants experienced a different folding trajectory and transition state than FKBP* and Q53N. The refolding kinetic Φ values were 0.74, 1.4 and 7.9 for Q53N, Q53T, and Q53D, respectively. The data point to Q53 functioning as a gatekeeper residue in the folding of FKBP*. This study shows that perturbing the unfolded state ensemble via mutagenesis can provide insights into residues that play important roles in the folding pathway, and represents an attractive strategy for mapping the high-energy portions of the folding energy landscape.

The films were examined at successively higher levels of thickness, ranging from the sub-monolayer regime to the n ML (n>2) regime. We found that on top of a pseudomorphic monolayer film, Pd forms three-dimensional islands which, in the n ML (n>2) regime are described using a half-Lorentzian distribution of layer occupation. These islands provide the large number of Pd step sites that give rise to the peak in the CV at 0.3 V. The deposition of Pd onto Pt(1 1 1), therefore, proceeds via a pseudomorphic Stranski–Krastanov growth mode.

Simulations on 164 lattices indicate that at zero T the theory experiences a second order phase transition to a diquark condensate state. Several methods of analysis, including equation of state fits suggested by Chiral Perturbation Theory, suggest that mean-field scaling describes this critical point. Nonzero T and μ are studied on 123×6 lattices. For low T, increasing μ takes the system through a line of second order phase transitions to a diquark condensed phase. Increasing T at high μ, the system passes through a line of first order transitions from the diquark phase to the quark–gluon plasma phase. Metastability is found near the first order line. Presumably, there is a tricritical point along this line of transitions. We estimate its position to be consistent with theoretical predictions.

It exhibits a localized behavior for 0.02⩽x⩽0.2 samples at low temperature. At this temperature range, the conduction property shows two-dimensional variable range hopping behavior. For samples x⩾0.3, the small polaron model can well explain the conduction behavior at high temperature. The small polarons are induced by the coupling between the breathing mode phonon and the hole carriers.

Li(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O2 exhibited a discharge capacity of 120 mAh/g in the voltage range of 2.8–4.3 V with a slight capacity fade up to 40 cycles (0.09% per cycle); by doping of 5 mol% Co, Al, and Ti, the discharge capacities increased to 140, 142, and 132 mAh/g, respectively, and almost no capacity fading was observed. The cathode material containing 5 mol% Co had the lowest impedance, 47 Ω cm2, while undoped, Ti-doped, and Al-doped materials had impedance of 64, 62, and 99 Ω cm2, respectively. Unlike the other dopants, cobalt was found to improve the electronic conductivity of the material. Further improvement in the impedance of these materials is needed to meet the requirement for powering hybrid electric vehicle (HEV, <35 Ω cm2). In all materials, structural transformation from a layered to a spinel structure was not observed during electrochemical cycling. Cyclic voltammetry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data suggested that Ni and Mn exist as Ni2+ and Mn4+ in the layered structure. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data showed that exothermic peaks of fully charged Li1−y(Ni0.5−xMn0.5−xM2x′)O2 appeared at higher temperature (270–290 °C) than LiNiO2-based cathode materials, which indicates that the thermal stability of Li(Ni0.5−xMn0.5−xM2x′)O2 is better than those of LiNiO2-based cathode materials.

Capacity fade for the cell was correlated with that for the individual components, using electrochemical analysis of the electrodes and other diagnostic techniques. The high-temperature cell lost 65% of its initial capacity after 140 cycles at 60 °C compared to only a 4% loss for the cell cycled at room temperature. Cell ohmic impedance increased significantly with a elevated temperature cycling, resulting in some of loss of capacity at the C/2 rate. However, as determined with slow rate testing of the individual electrodes, the anode retained most of its original capacity, while the cathode lost 65%, even when cycled with a fresh source of lithium. Diagnostic evaluation of cell components including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, CSAFM and suggest capacity loss occurs primarily due to a rise in the impedance of the cathode, especially at the end-of-charge. The impedance rise may be caused in part by a loss of the conductive carbon at the surface of the cathode and/or by an organic film on the surface of the cathode that becomes non-ionically conductive at low lithium content.

While hydrogen will likely be the ultimate fuel to power fuel-cell vehicles, because of current infrastructure constraints, hydrogen-carrying fuels are being investigated as transitional fuel-cell fuels. A complete well-to-wheels (WTW) evaluation of fuel-cell vehicle energy and emission effects that examines (1) energy feedstock recovery and transportation; (2) fuel production, transportation, and distribution; and (3) vehicle operation must be conducted to assist decision makers in selecting the fuel-cell fuels that achieve the greatest energy and emission benefits.A fuel-cycle model developed at Argonne National Laboratory—called the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model—was used to evaluate well-to-wheels energy and emission impacts of various fuel-cell fuels. The results show that different fuel-cell fuels can have significantly different energy and greenhouse gas emission effects. Therefore, if fuel-cell vehicles are to achieve the envisioned energy and emission reduction benefits, pathways for producing the fuels that power them must be carefully examined.

Radiative corrections will, however, lift this degeneracy, allowing the first level excitations to decay to the lightest KK particle (LKP), which is the γ*. KK number conservation implies that the LKP is stable. Then, since the SM particles radiated during these decays are rather soft, the observation of KK excitations production and decay in collider experiments will be quite difficult. We propose to add to this model KK number violating interactions mediated by gravity, which allow the γ* to decay to a photon and a KK graviton. For a variety a models and a large range of parameters, these decays will occur within the detector. Thus, pair production of KK excitations will give rise to a striking collider signal, consisting of two hard photons plus large missing energy (due to escaping gravitons). We evaluate the cross-section for these signals at the Tevatron and LHC, and derive the reach of these colliders in the search for universal extra dimensions.

In the last decade the preparation of SeMet containing proteins has proved to be valuable tools in the determination of three-dimensional structure by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) techniques. The potential utility of a selenium containing tryptophan analog, β-seleno[3,2-b]pyrrolyl-l-alanine ([4,5]selenatryptophan), has recently been demonstrated in the literature. This finding shows promise for the bioincorporation of its positional isomer, β-selenolo[2,3-b]pyrrolyl-l-alanine ([6,7]selenatryptophan), thereby adding to the essential arsenal of selenium-containing amino acids for use in the characterization of proteins. The synthesis of [6,7]selenatryptophan by enzymatic biotransformation with tryptophan synthase from selenolo[2,3-b]pyrrole was carried out as well as its characterization by NMR spectroscopy and thin layer chromatography. Selenatryptophyl dihydrofolate reductase ([6,7]SeTrp-DHFR) was then synthesized in vivo, purified, and found to exhibit no perturbations to enzymatic activity.

The evolution of dislocation interactions was observed by evaluating the activation area and true stress as a function of cumulative plastic strain. Activation areas for 7075-T6 aluminum at each of three plastic strain amplitudes, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6%, have initial values of approximately 250–450 b2 which decrease to 70–115 b2, respectively, during cyclic loading to saturation. Activation areas for 304 stainless steel at both amplitudes tested, 0.4 and 0.6%, exhibit initial values of 90 b2 which increase slightly to 130 b2 at large cumulative strains. Both materials show a deviation from the Cottrell–Stokes law during cyclic hardening and softening. Tests performed at saturation reveal a mild dependence of activation area on plastic strain amplitude for aluminum but no such relationship for stainless steel. These results reflect a contrast between wavy slip for pure copper and 7075 aluminum versus planar slip for 304 stainless steel tested at room temperature. In addition, the Cottrell–Stokes law holds in both alloys at saturation. Dislocation motion in 7075 aluminum and 304 stainless steel is controlled by obstacles that are characteristically more thermal than forest dislocations; obstacles in 7075-T6 aluminum are identified as solutes from re-desolved particles; for 304 stainless steel, the obstacles are also in the form of solutes.

These proteins are feasible as replacements for commonly used petrochemicals that suffer from problems of toxicity, volatility, flammability, and high cost. A key advantage to protein-based additives is that they are available from inexpensive plant and animal sources (e.g. waste products such as slaughterhouse blood, by-products from meat and plant production). Aqueous alumina suspensions and high-density aqueous alumina pastes were blended with such proteins to form green bodies that were easily moldable and could be sintered to full density without cracking. The application of proteins provides thermally induced gelation of aqueous alumina suspensions.

Superdislocation dissociation schemes, partials separation and core widths were calculated within the modified Peierls–Nabarro (PN) model with ab-initio GSF parameterization. Calculated superdislocation core structure parameters were found to be in agreement with available experimental data. The superdislocation core with type I (fourfold) dissociation was found to be unstable in Fe3Ge but stable and energetically preferred in Ni3Ge and Ni3Al. These results allows us to suggest a mechanism for the octahedral glide being inactive in Fe3Ge which is found to be different in several aspects with those discussed so far in the literature.

This algorithm exploits the partitioning structure of the Hamiltonian in polyspherical coordinates, and calculates the eigenstates in a reduced-dimension (RD) way but exactly. It consists of the standard Lanczos method for the outer layer iteration and the guided spectral transform (GST) Lanczos for the inner layer. For H2CO, numerical results show that the two-layer Lanczos method is substantially efficient.

Two new long-lived states are found, which have no counterparts in the usual single-component TL equation: a steadily moving double-humped pulse (with unequal humps, but identical field distributions in the two components), and a large nearly-static immobile pulse, with small internal vibrations. Collisions between solitons are also studied. Such collisions generate conspicuous emission of radiation, but do not result in merger of solitons into a bound state.

Rates were calculated from backscattered electron (BSE) imaging of weathered porosity and are equivalent to 1.7–5% of the surface per 1000 years. Weathering is independent of glass composition but appears to increase with flow elevation at El Malpais. Measured rates represent weathering over 3000 years and are substantially lower than glass dissolution rates measured in the laboratory over much shorter time spans. Basaltic glass is a close chemical analogue to glass hosts proposed for encapsulation of high-level nuclear wastes. Radionuclide release rates predicted from the basis of in situ field rates are substantially less than those predicted from short-term laboratory experiments.

The origin and transport of spring waters from which travertines precipitate are elucidated by chemical and isotopic studies of the travertines and associated thermal springs and gas vents. There are consistent differences in the geochemical and isotopic signatures of thermal spring waters, gas vents and present and fossil travertines between east and west of the Tiber Valley. West of the Tiber Valley, δ13C of CO2 discharged from gas vents and δ13C of fossil travertines are higher than those to the east. To the west the travertines have higher strontium contents, and gases emitted from vents have higher 3He/4He ratios and lower N2 contents, than to the east. Fossil travertines to the west have characteristics typical of thermogene (thermal spring) origin, whereas those to the east have meteogene (low-temperature) characteristics (including abundant plant casts and organic impurities). The regional geochemical differences in travertines and fluid compositions across the Tiber Valley are interpreted with a model of regional fluid flow. The regional Mesozoic limestone aquifer is recharged in the main axis of the Apennine chain, and the groundwater flows westward and is discharged at springs. The travertine-precipitating waters east of the Tiber Valley have shallower flow paths than those to the west. Because of the comparatively short fluid flow paths and low (normal) heat flow, the groundwaters to the east of the Tiber Valley are cold and have CO2 isotopic signatures, indicating a significant biogenic contribution acquired from soils in the recharge area and limited deeply derived CO2. In contrast, spring waters west of the Tiber Valley have been conductively heated during transit in these high heat-flow areas and have incorporated a comparatively large quantity of CO2 derived from decarbonation of limestone. The elevated strontium content of the thermal spring water west of the Tiber Valley is attributed to deep circulation and dissolution of a Triassic evaporite unit that is stratigraphically beneath the Mesozoic limestone. U-series age dates of fossil travertines indicate three main periods of travertine formation (ka): 220–240, 120–140 and 60–70. Based on the regional flow model correlating travertine deposition at thermal springs and precipitation in the recharge area, we suggest that pluvial activity was enhanced during these periods.

The commonly adopted noninteracting gas calculations yield temperatures close to or above the critical temperature for the chiral phase transition, but without taking into account any interactions. Contrary, the chiral SU(3) model predicts temperature and density dependent effective hadron masses and effective chemical potentials in the medium and a transition to a chirally restored phase at high temperatures or chemical potentials. Three different parametrizations of the model, which show different types of phase transition behaviour, are investigated. We show that if a chiral phase transition occured in those collisions, “freezing” of the relative hadron abundances in the symmetric phase is excluded by the data. Therefore, either very rapid chemical equilibration must occur in the broken phase, or the measured hadron ratios are the outcome of the dynamical symmetry breaking. Furthermore, the extracted chemical freeze-out parameters differ considerably from those obtained in simple noninteracting gas calculations. In particular, the three models yield up to 35 MeV lower temperatures than the free gas approximation. The in-medium masses turn out to differ up to 150 MeV from their vacuum values.

A microwave frequency plasma torch was employed to create supported metal catalysts from physical mixtures of a metal (palladium, particles or molecular precursor) and a traditional support material (alumina). Specifically, an aerosol containing particles of metal and support was injected into the center of an atmosphere pressure plasma generated with a commercial microwave torch. Catalytic studies of the selective isomerization of 1-butene indicate that catalysts created in this novel fashion are more selective, but less active, than catalysts prepared on the same support by incipient wetness. Catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of alumina (no metal) pre-treated in the microwave torch were found to have both high activity and enhanced selectivity. Characterization studies suggest that the plasma generated catalysts consist of nano-scale metal particles on highly modified support material.

The irradiations were performed at the intense neutron beam facility at Cyclotron Research Center, Universite´ Catholique Louvain-la-Neuve (CRC-UCL) (Belgium), where fast neutrons [En∼20 MeV, φn=(4.8±0.3)1011 ns−1 cm−2] were generated by stopping 50 MeV deuterons on a thick Be target. The half-life of 189W was determined to be 9.3±0.3 min, compared to 10.8±0.2 min obtained from the 188W[n,γ]189W reaction. The energies of the two predominant γ-rays of 189W, 260.4±1.3 and 421.7±1.4 keV were in good agreement with that from the [n,γ] reaction, however, the relative intensities of the two γ-rays were not consistent. From the [n,γ] reaction, the relative intensities of the 260 and 421 keV γ-rays were 97 to 100, whereas from the [n,α] reaction the relative intensities were 100 to 77, respectively. Assuming a cross-section ratio of 20±5 for [n,p3n] to [n,α] reactions, a cross-section of 0.5±0.2 mb was suggested for the 192Os[n,α]189W reaction, and the absolute intensity of the 260 keV γ-ray was estimated to be ∼50%.

The predominant flux of Hg° over both invasive cattail and native sawgrass stands was emission; mean day time fluxes over cattail ranged from ∼20 (winter) to ∼40 (summer) ng m−2 h−1. Sawgrass fluxes were about half those over cattail during comparable periods. Emission from vegetation significantly exceeded evasion of Hg° from the underlying water surface (∼1–2 ng m−2 h−1) measured simultaneously using floating chambers. Among several environmental factors (e.g. CO2 flux, water vapor flux, wind speed, water, air and leaf temperature, and solar radiation), water vapor exhibited the strongest correlation with Hg° flux, and transpiration is suggested as an appropriate term to describe this phenomenon. The lack of significant Hg° emissions from a live, but uprooted (floating) cattail stand suggests that a likely source of the transpired Hg° is the underlying sediments. The pattern of Hg° fluxes typically measured indicated a diel cycle with two peaks, possibly related to different gas exchange dynamics: one in early morning related to lacunal gas release, and a second at midday related to transpiration; nighttime fluxes approached zero.

Recently we have evaluated the charged-current neutrino–nucleus cross sections relevant for r-process simulations. We extend our approach here to the neutral-current cross sections. Our tabulation considers neutron-rich nuclei with neutron numbers N=41–135 and charge numbers Z=21–82 and lists total as well as partial neutron spallation cross sections. The calculations have been performed within the random phase approximation considering multipole transitions with J≤3 and both parities. The supernova neutrino spectrum is described by a Fermi–Dirac distribution with various temperature parameters between T=2.8 MeV and T=10 MeV and with the degeneracy parameters α=0 and α=3.

This paper examines published data on collecting corn stover using field machinery, including moisture content, mass fractions, and the amount of stover removed from the field. It is shown that a typical sequence of shredding, windrowing and round baling operations may result in a collection efficiency of <40%. Other factors such as weather, season, and leaving stover for environmental reasons may also reduce the amount of stover collected per unit area. Collection cost would depend on the amount of stover collected per unit area, the number of operations, machine efficiency in each operation, and bulk density. A typical cost calculated for round baling and delivering the bales to a storage 8 km (5 miles) away from a harvested field amounted to $21.60/dry t ($19.70/dry ton).

SN - 00068314 AB - Using the unprecedented observational capabilities deployed during the Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study-99 (CASES-99), we found three distinct turbulence events on the night of 18 October 1999, each of which was associated with different phenomena: a density current, solitary waves, and downward propagating waves from a low-level jet. In this study, we focus on the first event, the density current and its associated intermittent turbulence. As the cold density current propagated through the CASES-99 site, eddy motions in the upper part of the density current led to periodic overturning of the stratified flow, local thermal instability and a downward diffusion of turbulent mixing. Propagation of the density current induced a secondary circulation. The descending motion following the head of the density current resulted in strong stratification, a sharp reduction in the turbulence, and a sudden increase in the wind speed. As the wind surge propagated toward the surface, shear instability generated upward diffusion of turbulent mixing. We demonstrate in detail that the height and sequence of the local thermal and shear instabilities associated with the dynamics of the density current are responsible for the apparent intermittent turbulence.

JO - Boundary-Layer Meteorology JF - Boundary-Layer Meteorology Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 105 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 221 EP - 252 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00068314 AB - Characteristics and evolution of the low-level jet (LLJ) over southeastern Kansas were investigated during the 1999 Cooperative Surface-Atmosphere Exchange Study (CASES–99) field campaign with an instrument complement consisting of a high-resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL), a 60 m instrumented tower, and a triangle of Doppler mini-sodar/profiler combinations. Using this collection of instrumentation we determined the speed UX, height ZX and direction DX of the LLJ. We investigate here the frequency of occurrence, the spatial distribution, and the evolution through the night, of these LLJ characteristics. The jet of interest in this study was that which generates the shear and turbulence below the jet and near the surface. This was represented by the lowest wind maximum. We found that this wind maximum, which was most often between 7 and 10 m s‐1, was often at or just below 100 m above ground level as measured by HRDL at the CASES central site. Over the 60 km profiler–sodar array, the topography varied by ∼100 m. The wind speed and direction were relatively constant over this distance (with some tendency for stronger winds at the highest site), but ZX was more variable. ZX was occasionally about equal at all three sites, indicating that the jet was following the terrain, but more often it seemed to be relatively level, i.e., at about the same height above sea level. ZX was also more variable than UX in the behaviour of the LLJ with time through the night, and on some nights $UX was remarkably steady. Examples of two nights with strong turbulence below jet level were further investigated using the 60 m tower at the main CASES–99 site. Evidence of TKE increasing with height and downward turbulent transport of TKE indicates that turbulence was primarily generated aloft and mixed downward, supporting the upside–down boundary layer notion in the stable boundary layer.

SN - 00068314 AB - Occurrences of intermittent turbulence in very stable conditions during the CASES-99 field study near Leon, Kansas were detected at several sites separated by horizontal distances from 1 km to 25 km using sonic anemometers, minisodars and a laser scintillometer. Periods with significant turbulent heat fluxes were separated by extended quiescent periods with little or no flux, and most of the flux during a night was realized in relatively small fractions (<20%) of the total time. There appeared to be no relationship between this intermittency fraction and the median z/L (z being height and L the Obukhov length) value for the night, although overall sensible heat flux values on very stable nights were significantly less than those on less stable nights. The intermittency fraction at 7 m was found to increase with mean wind speed at 20 m and, to a lesser extent, with wind shear between 20 m and 30 m. While correspondence of turbulent episodes at two sites separated by 1 km was common, it was less common at separations on the order of 20 km. There were time periods, however, during which enhanced turbulence levels were seen nearly simultaneously at large separation distances. Turbulence episodes were found to propagate upward or downward at different times with no readily defined large-scale controlling mechanism.

A nodal formulation of the problem writes the governing equations in terms of the unknown pressures at the points where the flow paths connect. This paper proves conditions under which the nodal equations yield symmetric positive-definite matrices, guaranteeing a unique solution to the flow network. It also establishes relaxed conditions under which a nodal airflow system yields asymmetric matrices with positive eigenvalues, guaranteeing at least one solution.Properly exploiting the system properties greatly reduces the cost of numerical solution. Thus, multizone airflow programs such as CONTAM and COMIS depend on symmetric positive-definite systems. However, the background literature neglects or simplifies the underlying assumptions, does not assert existence and uniqueness, and even contains factual errors. This paper corrects those errors, states the implicit assumptions made in the programs, and discusses implications for modelers and programmers.

Detection of FHIT gene is important in cancer diagnostics since its alterations have been associated with several human cancers. A unique multi-functional biochip for simultaneous detection of FHIT DNA and FHIT protein on the same platform was applied. The design of the biochip is based on miniaturization of photodiodes, where functioning of multiple optical sensing elements, amplifiers, discriminators, and logic circuitry are integrated on a single IC board. Performance of biochip is based on biomolecular recognition processes using both DNA and protein bioreceptors, Cy5-labeled probes and laser excitation. Application of biochip for concurrent detection of various immobilized target DNA and protein molecules and multiplex of DNA and protein on the same microarray was accomplished. Linearity of biochip for quantitative measurements was demonstrated. Results demonstrated utility of this multi-functional biochip as a useful detection technology with applications in biological and clinical laboratories.

Lower air temperatures decrease demand for cooling energy and slow the formation of urban smog. Variations with composition and environmental exposure of the albedos of portland cement concrete pavements were investigated through laboratory fabrication and exposure of 32 mixes of concrete. Concrete albedo generally correlated with cement albedo and sand albedo and, after abrasion, with rock albedo. Cement albedo had a disproportionately strong influence on the reflectance of concrete. Simulated weathering, soiling, and abrasion each reduced average concrete albedo, though some samples became slightly more reflective through weathering or soiling. Concrete albedo grew as the cement hydration reaction progressed, but stabilized within six weeks of casting.

For instance, it may be desirable to know when a particle reaches a boundary or interface or a location where the system properties change. In this work, we derive an analytical expression in the form of a probability function describing the distribution of random times necessary for a particle to diffusively travel a specified distance. Upon substitution of the specified distance and a random number for the probability, the expression may be solved for the necessary time. Comparison of the results from this equation with an empirical expression determined by James and Chrysikopoulos (Chem. Eng. Sci. 56(23)(2001)6535) shows excellent agreement. Recommendations for implementing the analytical solution into particle tracking algorithms with or without a deterministic velocity component are included. This general equation is amenable to use in modeling both fractured and porous media systems.

A sensitivity analysis of homogeneous CH4 pyrolysis pathways showed that sites that activate methane to form methyl radicals or ethene and the conversion of ethene to aromatics increased pyrolysis rates, but led to impractical reactor residence times with or without H2 removal. Catalysts, such as Mo/H-ZSM5, which increase the rate of both CH4 conversion to ethene and of ethene aromatization are required in order to overcome the kinetic barriers in homogeneous pyrolysis pathways. Homogeneous models were modified by incorporating non-elementary catalytic steps with rate constants obtained from experimental residence time studies on Mo/H-ZSM5. Simulations using this homogeneous–heterogeneous kinetic model were used in order to determine the benefits of continuous H2 removal on the yields of desired C2C10 hydrocarbons and on the required residence times and to obtain rigorous criteria for the design of catalysts and membranes for direct methane conversion reactions. Bifunctional catalysts able to catalyze the required steps and the removal of H2 across ceramic membranes can lead to almost complete CH4 conversion at ∼1000 K at practical reactor residence times (<100 s). This performance requires catalytic reactors with intermediate values of the ratio of characteristic reaction and permeation times (δ=1–10), which in turn require the use of thin dense ceramic films (10–100 μm) in order to achieve these δ values for practical reactor diameters.

The model takes into account various fundamental processes at scales sufficient to resolve the microscopic flame-zone physiochemistry. The thermochemical parameters of HMX and GAP are deduced from existing experimental data. Four global decomposition reactions of HMX and GAP in the condensed phase as well as subsequent reactions are included. In the gas phase, a detailed chemical kinetics scheme involving 74 species and 532 reactions is employed to describe the heat-release mechanism. The effect of the external CO2 laser on the propellant burning characteristics prevails at low pressures, but decreases at high pressures at which the conductive heat feedback from the gaseous flame to the condensed phase overrides surface absorption of radiation energy. The burning rate decreases with the addition of GAP at low pressures, even though GAP burns much faster than pure HMX. One factor contributing to this phenomenon is the rapid gasification of GAP displacing the primary flame away from the surface. Conversely, above a certain pressure level, the burning rate may be considerably enhanced by adding a small amount of GAP because of the higher surface temperature at which the exothermic decomposition of GAP plays a decisive role in providing energy to sustain propellant burning.

The primary objective is to determine the effect of flame stretch on the overall burning rate during various stages of the interaction. Preferential diffusion effects are accounted for by varying the equivalence ratio from symmetric rich-rich to lean-lean interactions. The results show that the local flame front response to turbulence is consistent with previous understanding of laminar premixed flames, in that rich premixed flames become intensified in regions of negative strain or curvature, while the opposite response is found for lean premixed flames. The overall burning rate history with respect to the surface density variation is found to depend on the mixture condition; the consumption rate enhancement advances (follows) the surface enhancement for the rich-rich (lean-lean) case. For the lean-lean case, a self-turbulization mechanism results in a large positive skewness in the area-weighted mean tangential strain statistics. Because of the statistical dominance of positive stretch on the flame surface, the lean-lean case results in a significantly larger burning enhancement (over a twofold increase) in addition to the surface density production. For the case of rich-rich interaction, the abundance in hydrogen species results in an instantaneous overshoot of the radical pool in the post-flame region, resulting in an additional “burst” in the reactant consumption rate history, suggesting its potential impact on the pollutant formation process.

The methane-ammonia mixture is a surrogate for biomass fuels, which contain significant fuel-bound nitrogen. The experiments use flue-gas sampling to measure the concentration of stable species in the exhaust gas. The computations use adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) to capture fine-scale features of the flame. The model includes a detailed chemical mechanism, differential diffusion, buoyancy, and radiative losses. The model shows good agreement with the measurements over the full range of experimental NH3 seeding amounts. As more NH3 is added, a greater percentage is converted to N2 rather than to NO. The simulation results are analyzed to trace the changes in NO formation mechanisms with increasing amounts of ammonia in the fuel.

Searches at the Z resonance and above the W+W− threshold allowed an unambiguous lower limit on the mass of the standard model Higgs boson to set be at 114.1 GeV·c−2. After years of efforts to push the LEP performance far beyond the design limits, hints of what could be the first signs of the existence of a 115 GeV·c−2 Higgs boson appeared in June 2000, were confirmed in September, and were then confirmed again in November. An additional six-month period of LEP operation was enough to provide a definite answer, with an opportunity to make a fundamental discovery of prime importance. To cite this article: P. Janot, M.

Dislocations are modeled within isotropic elasticity theory, and are assumed to be in the over-damped limit. The dynamics incorporated in the model are tested directly, by comparison with the exact solution to the linearized isotropic elasticity theory of the mechanical losses. The model is then applied to the study of the mechanical losses from two coupled dislocations. It is concluded that the implemented dislocation dynamics method represents an accurate solution to the initially stated problem, that the elastic string model often employed to model losses is inadequate, and that dislocation interactions may alter substantially the dislocation component of the spectrum observed during internal friction experiments.

The measurements show that under normal operating conditions saturation between He II and its vapor can be maintained even in the transient process of heat transfer. A computer code for He II stratified two-phase flow analysis has been developed for the numerical simulation of the He II and vapor flow in the configuration of the cryogenic cooling channel in TTF1. Comparison with the measurement shows the prediction by the code agrees well with the experimental results. The code also predicts the maximum heat load under which the two-phase tube in TTF1 would locally dry out. In its application, the code is helpful to evaluate the impact on the flow behaviour resulting from changes to the TTF1 configuration.

Suspended particles in surface (0–200 m) and midwaters (200–1000 m) of the equatorial Pacific Ocean were collected during the 1992 US JGOFS Equatorial Pacific (EqPac) program. Samples collected during El Nin˜o (Survey I) and normal conditions (Survey II) were analyzed for pigment, amino acid, fatty acid, and neutral lipid concentrations and compositions. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and other statistical methods were used to assess changes in particulate organic composition between Surveys I and II, over 24° of latitude, from 15 to 850 m depth, and to compare our compositional data with previously published data from EqPac sinking particles. These analyses indicated that surface suspended particles (0–200 m) were similar in composition to surface ocean phytoplankton and were less degraded than particles sinking out of the euphotic zone (105 m). The organic composition of suspended particles in surface waters varied with latitudinal and El-Nin˜o-induced changes in phytoplankton assemblages. Midwater suspended particles (200–1000 m) contained labile phytodetrital material derived from particles exiting the euphotic zone (105 m). However, labile organic constituents of midwater suspended particles were increasingly degraded by microbes or consumed by midwater metazoans with depth. The increase in degradation state observed for midwater suspended particles may also have been caused by dilution of deeper (450–850 m) suspended particle pools with more refractory material originating from fast-sinking particles, e.g., fecal pellets. However, the mechanism controlling midwater particle degradation state varied with flux regime; dilution of midwater suspended particles dominated only in the higher flux regime found at equatorial latitudes (5°N–5°S) during Survey II (normal conditions). In summary, it is apparent that organic matter alteration in midwaters, and not cycling within the euphotic zone, has the larger effect on organic composition of suspended particles in the deep equatorial Pacific Ocean.

To evaluate the potential of the material point method (MPM) in simulating dynamic brittle failure involving different failure modes, the essential features of the MPM are explored for wave and impact problems, and combined wave and diffusion problems are then solved by using the MPM. Through the comparison with the experimental, analytical and numerical data available, it appears that the MPM is a robust tool to simulate multi-physics problems such as dynamic failure under impact.

The latter has been identified as the enzyme tissue transglutaminase which belongs to a family of enzymes that catalyze protein cross-linking reactions and is constitutively expressed in many tissues as well as being activated during apoptosis. In a recent paper, we described the selection and characterization of anti-transglutaminase Igs from phage antibody libraries created from intestinal lymphocytes from celiac disease patients. In this work, using transglutaminase gene fragments, we identify a region of tissue transglutaminase recognized by these antibodies as being conformational and located in the core domain of the enzyme. This is identical to the region recognized by anti-transglutaminase Igs found in the serum of celiac disease patients.

Fatigue cracks formed at casting pores within the specimen and near the surface, depending on the relative pore sizes. When the pore that initiated the fatigue crack decreased from approximately 110 µm to 80 µm, the fatigue life increased two times. After initiation, the fatigue cracks grew through two distinct stages before final overload specimen failure. At low maximum crack tip driving forces (K max < 2.3 MPa√ m ), the fatigue crack propagated preferentially through the α -Mg dendrite cells. At high maximum crack tip driving forces ( K max > 2.3 MPa√ m ), the fatigue crack propagated primarily through the β -Al 12 Mg 17 particle laden interdendritic regions. Based on these observations, any proposed mechanism-based fatigue model for cast Mg alloys must incorporate the change in growth mechanisms for different applied maximum stress intensity factors, in addition to the effect of pore size on the propensity to form a fatigue crack.

Emphasis is placed on programs and strategies for developing blanket structural materials, and recent highlights in research and development for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels, vanadium alloys and SiC/SiC composites, and in mechanistic experimental and modeling studies. The common critical issue for the candidate materials is the effect of irradiation with helium production. For the qualification of materials up to the full lifetime of a DEMO and Power Plant reactors, an intense neutron source with relevant fusion neutron spectra is crucial. Elaborate use of the presently available irradiation devices will facilitate efficient and sound materials development within the required time scale.

Initial lithium limiter experiments were conducted with a toroidally-local liquid lithium rail limiter (L3) from the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). Spectroscopic measurements showed a clear reduction of impurities in plasmas with the L3, compared to discharges with a boron carbide limiter. The evidence for a reduction in recycling was less apparent, however. This may be attributable to the relatively small area in contact with the plasma, and the presence of high-recycling surfaces elsewhere in the vacuum chamber. This conclusion was tested in subsequent experiments with a fully toroidal lithium limiter that was installed above the floor of the vacuum vessel. The new limiter covered over ten times the area of the L3 facing the plasma. Experiments with the toroidal lithium limiter have recently begun. This paper describes the conditioning required to prepare the lithium surface for plasma operations, and effect of the toroidal liquid lithium limiter on discharge performance.

Solid PFC cannot be reliably used because of the large erosion losses during normal and off-normal events such as disruptions and their consequences. The use of liquid metal surfaces for protection of PFCs seems attractive but is not easily implemented. The ability to use liquids as PFC surfaces depends on their overall integrated interaction with the plasma as well as with the strong magnetic field in the reactor. The temperature of a flowing liquid surface governed by surface velocity should be low enough to avoid core plasma contamination by the metal vapor. A high liquid flow velocity, V, may also be necessary to overcome the force F=[J×B], where J is current and B is magnetic field. In this study, MHD flow patterns of the liquid metal across the magnetic field (B=5 T) are investigated. The retarding force F=[J×B] results in a rather high pressure drop required to move the liquid metal across the magnetic field. New two-dimensional calculations of MHD effects and resulting pressure drop have been completed with the upgraded heights software package.

However, because of its lower Li concentration relative to LiF–BeF2 (Flibe, with ratio 2:1), its deployment as a breeder has been a concern. In this paper, we compare the local tritium breeding ratio (TBR) of Flinabe to Flibe in two arrangements: (1) as a FFLL and breeder in the blanket; and (2) as only the FFLL with LiPb/SiC conventional blanket following the FW. The impact of the choice of ferritic steel (FS) and SiC as the structural material on TBR was also examined. In addition, the paper discusses what constitutes a reasonable value for local TBR if all sources of uncertainties in the achievable and the required TBR are considered (e.g. modeling, nuclear data, burn up rate in the plasma, etc.) [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Fusion Engineering & Design is the property of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Because tritium is both radioactive and expensive, it is absolutely necessary that there be an understanding of the tritium retention characteristics of the materials used in these devices as well as how to recover the tritium. There are three materials that are strong candidates for plasma-facing-material use in next-step fusion devices. These are beryllium, tungsten, and carbon. While beryllium has the disadvantage of high sputtering and low melting point (which limits its power handling capabilities in divertor areas), it has the advantages of being a low-Z material with a good thermal conductivity and the ability to get oxygen from the plasma. Due to beryllium''s very low solubility for hydrogen, implantation of beryllium with deuterium and tritium results in a saturated layer in the very near-surface with limited inventory (J. Nucl. Mater. 273 (1999) 1). Unfortunately, there are nuclear reactions generated by neutrons that will breed tritium and helium in the material bulk (J. Nucl. Mater. 179 (1991) 329). This process will lead to a substantial tritium inventory in the bulk of the beryllium after long-term neutron exposure (i.e. well beyond the operation life time of a next-step reactor like ITER). Tungsten is a high-Z material that will be used in the divertor region of next-step devices (e.g. ITER) and possibly as a first wall material in later devices. The divertor is the preferred location for tungsten use because net erosion is very low there due to low sputtering and high redeposition. While experiments are still continuing on tritium retention in tungsten, present data suggest that relatively low tritium inventories will result with this material (J. Nucl. Mater. 290–293 (2001) 505). For tritium inventories, carbon is the problem material. Neutron damage to the graphite can result in substantial bulk tritium retention (J. Nucl. Mater. 191–194 (1992) 368), and codeposition of the sputtered carbon with the tritium from the plasma will produce a layer of carbonaceous material potentially containing kilograms of tritium in the cooler areas of the tokamak (J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A5 (1987) 2286). This paper reviews the tritium retention mechanisms for the three materials discussed above. Tritium removal techniques, including those used in situ to minimize in-vessel inventories as well as those used to reduce contamination prior to waste disposal, are discussed.

For a catalyzed D–D system (no tritium removal), the peak dpa rate in candidate structural materials is 25–35% lower than that in an equivalent D–T system with the same fusion power wall loading. The gas production and transmutation rates are about 60% lower. As tritium is removed gas production and transmutations decrease by more than two orders of magnitude and the dpa rate decreases by a factor of 2.3–2.8. An additional reduction of a factor of 1.6–1.7 in damage parameters is achieved by recycling the removed tritium as He-3. This results in significant lifetime enhancement of structural materials. Information from tests in fission reactor spectra would be directly relevant in determining the lifetime of the structural material in this He-3-recycled system.

Being radioactive, tritium is a health, safety and environment concern. Room air tritium clean systems can be used to handle tritium that has been lost to the room from primary or secondary containment. Such a system called the Experimental Tritium Cleanup (ETC) systems is installed at the Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The ETC consists of (1) two compressors which draw air from the room, (2) a catalyst bed for conversion of tritium to tritiated water, and (3) molecular sieve beds for collection of the water. The exhaust from this system can be returned to the room or vented to the stack. As part of the US–Japan fusion collaboration, on two separate occasions, tritium was released into the 3000 m3 TSTA test cell, and the ETC was used to handle these releases. Each release consisted of about one Curie of tritium. Tritium concentrations in the room were monitored at numerous locations. Also recorded were the HT and HTO concentrations at the inlet and outlet of the catalyst bed. Tritium surface concentrations in the test cell were measured before and at a series of times after the releases. Surfaces included normal test cell equipment as well as idealized test specimens. The results showed that the tritium became well-mixed in the test cell after about 45 min. When the ETC was turned on, the tritium in the TSTA test cell decreased exponentially as was expected. The test cell air tritium concentration was reduced to below one DAC (derived air concentration) in about 260 min. For the catalyst bed, at startup when the bed was at ambient temperature, there was little conversion of tritium to HTO. However, once the bed warmed to about 420 K, all of the tritium that entered the bed was converted to HTO. Immediately after the experiment, surfaces in the room initially showed moderately elevated tritium concentrations. However, with normal ventilation, these concentrations soon returned to routine levels. The data collected and reported here should be useful for planning for the operation of existing and future tritium facilities.

The removal rate of the codeposits was about 3 μm/h near the surface and 0.9 μm/h in the deeper region. Total amount of tritium released from the cube during 10 h baking was 202 MBq, while remaining tritium in the cube after baking was 403 MBq. Thus 10 h baking at 240 °C with 933 Pa O2 removed 1/3 of tritium from the cube. After 10 h baking, the tritium concentration on the cube surface also dropped by about 1/3. In addition, some tritium was released from another cube of the tile during baking at 240 °C in pure Ar, and a rapid increase of tritium release was observed when the purging gas was shifted from pure Ar to Ar–1%O2. When a whole TFTR tile was baked in air at 350 °C for 1 h and then at 500 °C for 1 h, the ratios of tritium released were 53 and 47%, respectively. Oxygen reacted with carbon to produce carbon monoxide during baking in air.

The specific purpose and requirements of the coatings vary widely, depending on the blanket concept. The efforts on coating development to date have focused primarily on electrically insulating coatings for the self-cooled lithium concepts with a vanadium alloy structure, and the tritium barrier coatings for the water-cooled, Pb–Li (WCLL) breeder concepts with ferritic steel structures. Although other coating materials are under consideration, most of the effort on the electrically insulating coatings has focused on CaO and AlN coatings on V–4Cr–4Ti alloy structure. Most of the effort on the tritium barrier coating development is focused on Al2O3 coatings formed on aluminized ferritic steels. This paper presents an overview of the status of coating development for the various fusion concepts with emphasis on the materials interaction and chemistry control issues associated with the formation, stability and performance of the coatings.

T1 - Chemical evolution of seawater during the Phanerozoic: Implications from the record of marine evaporites JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 66 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 3733 SN - 00167037 AB - The chemical evolution of seawater during the Phanerozoic is still a matter of debate. We have assembled and critically analyzed the available data for the composition of fluid inclusions in marine halite and for the mineralogy of marine evaporites. The composition of fluid inclusions in primary marine halite reveals two major long-term cycles in the chemistry of seawater during the past 600 myr. The concentration of Mg2+, Ca2+, and SO42− has varied quite dramatically. The Mg2+ concentration in seawater during most of the early Paleozoic and Jurassic to Cretaceous was as low as 30 to 40 mmol/kg H2O; it reached maximum values ≥50 mmol/kg H2O during the Late Neoproterozoic and Permian. The Ca2+ concentration in seawater during the Phanerozoic has reached maximum values two to three times greater than the concentration in seawater today (10.6 mmol/kg H2O), whereas SO42− concentrations may have been as low as 5 to 10 mmol/kg H2O (a third to a fifth of the modern value) during the Jurassic and Early Paleozoic. The Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio in seawater ranged from 1 to 1.5 during the early to middle Paleozoic and Jurassic-Cretaceous to a near-modern value of 5.2 during the Late Neoproterozoic and Permian. This change in seawater Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio is consistent with the notion of alternating “calcite-aragonite seas” recorded in oo¨lites and marine carbonate cements.Several models have been proposed to explain the chemical evolution of seawater. These have invoked significant changes in one or more of the major geochemical processes that control the composition of seawater. The pattern and magnitude of the variations in the composition of seawater proposed in this study are similar to those proposed elsewhere that suggest that seawater fluxes through midocean ridges have played a major role in the evolution of seawater during the past 600 myr. Two Phanerozoic supercycles of the Earth’s exogenic processes were recognized in the literature that are caused by mantle convection and plate activity. The composition of seawater has apparently undergone dramatic secular changes in phase with these supercycles and as a consequence of biological evolution. Analyses of fluid inclusions containing unevaporated seawater and a better understanding of the processes that affect the composition of seawater are needed to refine our understanding of the history of Phanerozoic seawater.

A fine-grained brucite was isotopically exchanged with excess amounts of water, and equilibrium D/H fractionation factors were calculated by means of the partial isotope exchange method. Our experiments unambiguously demonstrated that the D/H fractionation factor between brucite and water increased by 4.4 to 12.4‰ with increasing pressure to 300 or 800 MPa at all the temperatures investigated. The observed increases are linear with the density of water under experimental conditions. We calculated the pressure effects on the reduced partition function ratios (β-factor) of brucite (300–800 K and P ≤ 800 MPa) and water (400–600°C and P ≤ 100 MPa), employing a statistical-mechanical method similar to that developed by and a simple thermodynamic method based on the molar volumes of normal and heavy waters, respectively. Our theoretical calculations showed that the reduced partition function ratio of brucite increases linearly with pressure at a given temperature (as much as 12.6‰ at 300 K and 800 MPa). The magnitude of the pressure effects rapidly decreases with increasing temperature. On the other hand, the β-factor of water decreases 4 to 5‰ with increasing pressure to 100 MPa at 400 to 600°C. Overall D/H isotope pressure effects combined from the separate calculations on brucite and water are in excellent agreement with the experimental results under the same temperature-pressure range. Our calculations also suggest that under the current experimental conditions, the magnitude of the isotope pressure effects is much larger on water than brucite. Thus, the observed pressure effects on D/H fractionation are common to other systems involving water. It is very likely that under some geologic conditions, pressure is an important variable in controlling D/H partitioning.

Reviewing the theory of iterative optimization uncovers the common origin of different optimization methods. This allows us to reformulate the pseudo-inverse, model resolution and data resolution operators in terms of effective iterative estimates. When applied to Kirchhoff migration, plots of the diagonal of the model resolution matrix reveal low illumination areas on seismic images and provide information about image uncertainties. Synthetic and real data examples illustrate the proposed technique and confirm the theoretical expectations.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves of the aged samples show an endothermic peak at approximately 370 °C in addition to the ubiquitous glass transition. The endothermic peak appears after 20 min aging and disappears after 320 min aging. The corresponding X-ray diffraction (XRD) data show no Bragg peaks that could indicate the formation of a crystalline phase. Near-atomic-resolution atom probe tomography (APT) was used to study changes in the atomic spatial distributions as a function of aging time. The chemical environment around each of the atomic species, and the tendencies for solute clustering and chemical short range ordering, were determined from statistical analysis of the APT data. Clustering and possible phase separation are identified by APT after only 20 min aging at 340 °C, which correlates with the appearance of the peak in the DSC signal. Crystallization is apparent in the APT and XRD data after aging for 320 min. The study suggests that the amorphous Pd40Ni40P20 annealed at a temperature 40 °C above Tg phase separates into two or more amorphous phases. The endothermic peak in the DSC trace is produced by the dissolution of the phase separation.

The compression sample fractured with a shear plane inclined ∼42 degree with respect to the loading axis, in contrast to ∼56 degree for the case of tension. This suggests the yielding of the material deviates from the classical von Mises yield criterion, but follows the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. Fracture stress as well as strain was found to decrease with increasing applied strain rate. The compressive stress (∼1.74 GPa) was also found to be higher than the tensile fracture stress at a quasi-static strain rate. Close examination of the stress–strain curves revealed that localized shear might have occurred at a compressive stress of about ∼1.4 GPa, much lower than the “apparent” yield stress of 1.74 GPa. However, the stress of 1.4 GPa for shear band initiation is almost the same as the fracture stress measured at a dynamic strain rate of 5×102 s−1. These results suggested that the fracture of a bulk metallic glass is sensitive to the applied loading rate.

Oxygen impurity at a level of 3000 appm dramatically reduced the glass forming ability and embrittled BAM-11 at room temperature. The embrittlement was due to the formation of oxygen-induced Zr4Ni2O nuclei that triggered near complete crystallization of the metallic glass. Microalloying with 0.1 at.%B+0.2%Si+0.1%Pb was effective in suppressing the crystalline phase formation and alleviating the detrimental effect of oxygen. Microstructural analyses indicate that the beneficial effect of the optimum dopants was mainly due to stabilization of the glass-phase matrix even though it contained high levels of oxygen. Thus, microalloying is effective in reducing the production cost and is very useful for manufacturing good-quality Zr-based BMGs from impure charge materials.

In air, the fatigue endurance limit and the fatigue ratio were found to be 907 MPa and 0.53, respectively. These values are better than many conventional high-strength crystalline alloys. Unexpectedly, the fatigue lifetimes in vacuum were found to be lower than in air. Additional testing indicated that dissociation of residual water vapor to atomic hydrogen in the vacuum via a hot-tungsten-filament ionization gauge, and subsequent hydrogen embrittlement of the BMG-11, could have been a factor causing the lower fatigue lifetimes observed in vacuum.

In the present work, the aqueous electrochemical corrosion properties of BMG-11, 52.5Zr–17.9Cu–14.6Ni–5.0Ti–10.0Al (atomic percent), were investigated. Cyclic-anodic-polarization tests were conducted on amorphous and crystalline specimens in a 0.6 M NaCl solution (simulated seawater) and on amorphous specimens in a 0.05 M Na2SO4 solution (simulated moisture condensation, as related to ongoing fatigue experiments in humid air), all at room temperature. In the NaCl solution, both amorphous and crystalline materials were found to exhibit passive behavior with low corrosion rates (15 μm/year or less). However, susceptibilities to pitting corrosion were observed. The amorphous material was found to be more resistant to the onset of pitting corrosion under natural corrosion conditions. In the 0.05 M Na2SO4 solution, the amorphous BMG-11 was found to exhibit passive behavior with a very low corrosion rate (0.4 μm/year), and to be immune to pitting corrosion. Furthermore, when the protective passive film was removed by scratching with a diamond stylus, it was found to quickly reform. This result suggested that a corrosion influence on the fatigue properties of BMG-11 in humid air would be minimal.

As a result, their plastic deformation is dependent upon structural dynamics. In the present paper, we present data obtained from Zr-base and La-base metallic glasses and discuss the kinetic aspects of plastic deformation, including both homogeneous and heterogeneous deformation. In the case of homogeneous deformation (typically occurring in the supercooled liquid region), Newtonian behavior is not universally observed and usually takes place only at low strain rates. At high strain rates, non-Newtonian behavior is usually observed. It is demonstrated that this non-Newtonian behavior is associated with in situ crystallization of the amorphous structure. In the case of heterogeneous deformation (occurring at room temperature), deformation is controlled by localized shear banding. The plastic deformation of a La-base metallic glass is also investigated using instrumented nanoindentation experiments over a broad range of indentation strain rates. At low rates, the load-displacement curves during indentation exhibit numerous serrations or pop-ins, but these serrations become less prominent as the indentation rate is increased. Using the tip velocity during pop-in as a gauge of serration activity, we find that serrated flow is only significant at indentation strain rates below a certain critical value.

The material exhibited excellent mechanical formability in the supercooled liquid region. However, in contrast to a Newtonian behavior generally observed in oxide glasses, the present alloy also showed a non-Newtonian behavior, depending upon the temperature and applied strain rate. Specifically, the alloy is like a Newtonian fluid at high temperatures, but becomes non-Newtonian at low temperatures and high strain rates. Structures of the amorphous material, both before and after deformation, were examined using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The non-Newtonian behavior is proposed to be associated with the glass instability during deformation.

The devitrification of mechanically milled Zr70Pd30 and Zr70Pd20Cu10 powders occurs via a single-step, first-order transformation to a stable Zr2Pd tetragonal structure. This is in sharp contrast to the devitrification of the same amorphous alloys prepared by melt spinning, in which a primary meta-stable quasicrystalline phase forms. Since the mechanical milling process does not involve direct liquid phase formation of an amorphous structure, it is inferred that the short-range order in the solid state derived amorphous powder is different from that in the melt spun ribbon. During mechanical milling of an amorphous melt spun ribbon, crystallization of the quasicrystalline phase appears to precede disordering into an amorphous structure having an different short range order. Deformation of an amorphous melt spun ribbon by repetitive rolling at ambient temperature crystallizes the meta-stable quasicrystalline phase.

In general, the oxidation kinetics of both amorphous and crystalline alloys followed a two- or three-stage parabolic rate law at T⩾350 °C, while at 300 °C the amorphous alloy oxidized following a linear behavior. The oxidation rate constants for the amorphous alloy are slightly higher than those for the crystalline alloy at 350–400 °C. The scale formed on the amorphous alloy consists of mainly tetragonal-ZrO2 at 300 °C, while a mixture of monoclinic-ZrO2 (m-ZrO2) and tetragonal-ZrO2 (t-ZrO2) and some CuO were detected at higher temperatures. The scale formed on the crystalline alloy, on the other hand, consists of mainly Al2O3, some tetragonal-ZrO2, and a slight amount of monoclinic-ZrO2 at 300 °C. At higher temperatures, the crystalline alloy consists of mainly monoclinic-ZrO2, some CuO and Cu2O, and limited tetragonal-ZrO2. It is suggested that the formation of Al2O3 (at 300 °C) and CuO/Cu2O (at 350-400 °C) on the crystalline alloy is responsible for the reduced oxidation rates as compared with those of amorphous alloy.

Human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) employ several mechanisms to prevent unlimited growth. One mechanism may be activated by stress, and is associated with upregulated expression of p16INK4a. In serum-free medium, some HMEC arise spontaneously which do not express p16. These “post-selection” HMEC are capable of long-term proliferation, but ultimately cease growth when their telomeres become very short. As they approach a growth plateau, termed agonescence, post-selection HMEC populations accumulate chromosome abnormalities. In contrast to the crisis exhibited by cells lacking functional p53, agonescent cells can be maintained as viable cultures. Although transduction of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, into post-selection cells can, by itself, efficiently produce immortality and avoid agonescence, the errors that produce telomerase reactivation during carcinogenesis are not known. The block to endogenous telomerase reactivation in HMEC is extremely stringent. However, if one predisposing error is present, the probability greatly increases that additional error(s) required for immortalization may be generated by genomic instability encountered during agonescence. In p53(+) HMEC immortalized after chemical carcinogen exposure, the events involved in overcoming agonescence can be temporally separated from activation of telomerase. We have used the term “conversion” to describe the gradual process that leads to telomerase activation, telomere length stabilization, decreased p57KIP2 expression, and increased ability to grow uniformly well in the presence or absence of TGFβ. In the presence of active p53, conversion may represent a rate-limiting step in immortal transformation.

Malignant tumors are caused by an accumulation of oncogenic mutations. In addition, malignant tumorigenesis requires a permissive tissue environment in which mutant cells can survive, proliferate, and express their neoplastic phenotype. We propose that the age-related increase in cancer results from a synergy between the accumulation of mutations and age-related, pro-oncogenic changes in the tissue milieu. Most age-related cancers derive from the epithelial cells of renewable tissues. An important element of epithelial tissues is the stroma, the sub-epithelial layer composed of extracellular matrix and several cell types. The stroma is maintained, remodeled and repaired by resident fibroblasts, supports and instructs the epithelium, and is essential for epithelial function. One change that occurs in tissues during aging is the accumulation of epithelial cells and fibroblasts that have undergone cellular senescence. Cellular senescence irreversibly arrests proliferation in response to damage or stimuli that put cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. Senescent cells secrete factors that can disrupt tissue architecture and/or stimulate nearby cells to proliferate. We therefore speculate that their presence may create a pro-oncogenic tissue environment that synergizes with oncogenic mutations to drive the rise in cancer incidence with age. Recent evidence lends support to this idea, and suggests that senescent stromal fibroblasts may be particularly adept at creating a tissue environment that can promote the development of age-related epithelial cancers.

However, cultures grown outdoors will be exposed to day-and-night cycles that may synchronize their growth and cell division. While it is clear that only insignificant amounts of H2 can be produced by sulfur-deprived cells during the night period, little work has been done to examine the effects of the light/dark cycles preceding sulfur deprivation on subsequent H2 photoproduction. We show that (a) C. reinhardtii cells exhibit synchronized growth and cell division in the presence of acetate, (b) cells with the highest specific rates of H2 photoproduction also have the highest rates of biomass accumulation, and (c) the highest rates of starch and protein degradation coincide with the highest rates of formate and acetate accumulation, but not with H2 photoproduction. This work shows that it is possible to maximize the production of H2 by sulfur-depriving synchronized cultures at about 4 h after the beginning of the light period.

Sulfur-deprived algal cultures kept under anaerobic conditions will then produce H2 gas for 3–5 days under continuous illumination. Currently, sulfur deprivation is achieved by mechanical centrifugation of cultures grown in sulfur-replete medium, followed by extensive and costly washing. The cells are finally resuspended in sulfur-free medium. The current study investigates two procedures to deprive algal cultures of sulfur that eliminate the centrifugation step. These procedures involve sulfur deprivation by dilution of sulfur-replete cultures into either sulfur-limited medium or sulfur-free medium. We demonstrate that efficient H2 photoproduction can be achieved on a timely basis using either procedure. However, the dilution of sulfate-replete algal cultures 1:10 v/v into sulfur-free medium is the most appropriate procedure. These observations serve as the basis for developing an algal H2-production system that is cheaper, less time-consuming, and less amenable to contamination with other microorganisms than systems employing centrifugation for sulfur deprivation.

Here we describe an S-system model of H2 production by C. reinhardtii. Through that model we investigate the sensitivity of H2 production to photosynthetic efficiency, and to contention for the protons produced by the photolysis of water, between hydrogen production on the one hand, and ATP consumption by cellular functions outside the H2 production path on the other. The model identifies for experimental investigation several potential systemic constraints on any genetic re-engineering effort aimed at increasing the H2 production efficiency of the alga.

Hydrogen is produced according to the equation CO+H2O→CO2+H2. Two enzymes are known to be involved in this pathway: a CO dehydrogenase (CODH) with a pH optimum of 8.0 and above, and a hydrogenase with a pH optimum near 7.5. Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase also displays a temperature optimum near 50°C. When CO mass transfer is not limited during a CO uptake measurement, an extreme fast rate of CO uptake was determined, allowing for the removal of near 87% of the dissolved CO from a bacterial suspension within 10 s. This process has therefore two potential applications, one in the production of H2 gas as a clean renewable fuel using the linked CO oxidation: H2 production pathway, and another in using the CODH enzyme itself as a fuel–gas conditioning catalyst. These applications thereby will improve the overall H2 economy when gasified waste biomass serves as the inexpensive feedstock.

We isolated two generations of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strains with H2-evolving activities of up to 10 times the O2-tolerance seen in the wild-type (WT). These isolates were generated by two sequential selections, consisting of random chemical mutagenesis, enrichment for H2-metabolism clones following exposure to increasing amounts of O2, and screening using a chemochromic sensor. The selected strains were characterized by two types of assays and classified as those that (a) can evolve H2 following exposure to O2 concentrations that inactive the WT strain and (b) in addition, are able to quickly reactivate H2-production activity once O2 is removed. These results suggest that O2-tolerance can be increased by successive rounds of mutagenesis, selection, and screening, demonstrating that the WT phenotype can be improved by genetic means. Other results show that the hydrogenase is less sensitive to O2 when it is actively catalyzing H2 evolution.

Special attention is focused on mesomechanics at the grain level. Anisotropic structure is simulated by a random distribution of packing orientation. Thermo-dynamic variables such as temperature and Gibbs free energy are treated as internal degrees of freedom of individual elements. The dynamics of the transition is described by the first and second order kinetics having a constant activation energy. The study shows that global metastability arises as a result of nonequilibrium fields caused by the crystal anisotropy and grain boundary effects. Calculated hysteresis under quasi-static conditions are in good agreement with diamond anvil tests. Calculations of the shock-induced transition confirms an earlier suggestion, based on continuum modeling, that the transition relaxes toward the static metastable state. Results also show that the kinetics at the grain level is different from that speculated through use of macroscopic measurements.

T1 - Numerical simulation of unsaturated flow along preferential pathways: implications for the use of mass balance calculations for isotope storm hydrograph separation JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 268 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 214 SN - 00221694 AB - An objective common to many watershed studies is to separate storm hydrographs into two components: water that was present in the watershed prior to a storm event (soil moisture and groundwater) and water which fell on the watershed during the storm. To use this approach, a number of assumptions must be made including that the composition of water in the soil moisture and groundwater reservoirs are constant and known. The objective of this paper is to show that in settings where flow and transport are dominated by preferential pathways for flow, steady state mass balance calculations for quantitative hydrograph separation may be in error. We present field data from a site where flow and transport are dominated by preferential pathways (relict fractures in saprolite of sedimentary rocks) which indicate that the δ18O content of the water in the unsaturated and shallow saturated zones is not constant over the course of a storm event. We use a numerical model to further explore the interactions between the fractures and surrounding matrix. Both the field data and modeling results indicate that the δ18O of the previous storm event(s) has a strong influence on water in the fractures. On the time scale of a storm event, only the water in the matrix immediately surrounding the fracture mixes with water in the fracture, while the bulk of the matrix is isolated from fracture flow. The spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the δ18O in the subsurface and the isolation of the most of the matrix water from flow in fractures make the measurement of a singular δ18O value for subsurface reservoirs problematic and the assumption of a constant value doubtful. Since most near-surface geologic materials have preferential flow paths, we suggest that quantitative hydrograph separation using mass balance techniques is not possible in most situations. Future field and modeling investigations using the approach outlined here could be designed to explore the important temporal and spatial scales of variability in watersheds, and lead to a more quantitative approach to storm hydrograph separation.

The high purity Al powder was generated by a gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS) technique that results in spherical powder with a far thinner surface oxide. After vacuum sintering at 525 °C for up to 100 h, SEM results showed that the GARS Al powder achieved significantly advanced sintering stages, compared to the CIGA Al powder. Tensile results from the forged samples also showed that although its ultimate tensile strength is lower, 95 vs. 147 MPa, the ductility of the GARS pure Al sample is higher than the CIGA Al sample. Forging also consolidated a model powder-based composite system composed of an Al matrix reinforced with quasi-crystalline Al–Cu–Fe powders, where the same powder synthesis methods were compared. Auger surface analysis detected evidence of increased matrix/reinforcement interfacial bonding in the composite sample made from GARS powder by alloy interdiffusion layer measurements, consistent with earlier tensile property measurements. The overall results indicated the significant potential of using Al powders produced with a thin, high purity surface oxide for simplifying current Al powder consolidation processing methods.

T1 - The evaluation of different MAS techniques at low spinning rates in aqueous samples and in the presence of magnetic susceptibility gradients JO - Journal of Magnetic Resonance JF - Journal of Magnetic Resonance Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 159 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 92 SN - 10907807 AB - It was recently demonstrated that the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) linewidths for stationary biological samples are dictated mainly by magnetic susceptibility gradients, and that phase-altered spinning sideband (PASS) and phase-corrected magic angle turning (PHORMAT) solid-state NMR techniques employing slow and ultra-slow magic angle spinning (MAS) frequencies can be used to overcome the static susceptibility broadening to yield high-resolution, spinning sideband (SSB)-free 1H NMR spectra [Magn. Reson. Med. 46 (2001) 213; 47 (2002) 829]. An additional concern is that molecular diffusion in the presence of the susceptibility gradients may limit the minimum useful MAS frequency by broadening the lines and reducing SSB suppression at low spinning frequencies. In this article the performance of PASS, PHORMAT, total sideband suppression (TOSS), and standard MAS techniques were evaluated as a function of spinning frequency. To this end, 300 MHz (7.05 T) 1H NMR spectra were acquired via PASS, TOSS, PHORMAT, and standard MAS NMR techniques for a 230-μm-diameter spherical glass bead pack saturated with water. The resulting strong magnetic susceptibility gradients result in a static linewidth of about 3.7 kHz that is larger than observed for a natural biological sample, constituting a worst-case scenario for examination of susceptibility broadening effects. Results: (I) TOSS produces a distorted centerband and fails in suppressing the SSBs at a spinning rate below ∼1 kHz. (II) Standard MAS requires spinning speeds above a few hundred Hz to separate the centerband from the SSBs. (III) PASS produces nearly SSB-free spectra at spinning speeds as low as 30 Hz, and is only limited by T2-induced signal losses. (IV) With PHORMAT, a SSB-free isotropic projection is obtained at any spinning rate, even at an ultra-slow spinning rate as slow as 1 Hz. (V) It is found empirically that the width of the isotropic peak is proportional to F−x, where F is the spinning frequency, and x=2 for MAS, 0.84 for PASS, and 0.5 for PHORMAT.

Clustering has also been observed by molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations over a range 1–10 mol% in soda silicate glasses. Although there have been numerous experimental studies, atomic-level details of the mechanisms that lead to clustering remain unclear. Coupling experiment with MD simulations is essential to uncovering the factors that lead to clustering. In this work, MD computer simulations are used to verify that clustering found in previous MD simulations is not an artifact of the simulation method. This work also provides clues as to the mechanism of atomic-level clustering.

The results are found to follow an Arrhenius relationship in the temperature range 573–873 K and are compared to the prediction of a kinetic model for the release of hydrogen from metals. The data are lower than would be predicted by the model for an atomically clean surface, but lower than predicted recombination rates are ubiquitous with this type of measurement and well known to result from surface contamination, which reduces surface-site availability and gives rise to variations in the surface chemisorption potential.

The metallic Ru rich compounds adopt a regular K2NiF4-type structure, space group I4/mmm, with Ru–O–Ru bond angles of 180°. The structures of the nonmetallic Rh rich compounds crystallise in space group I4/acd and are characterised by tilting of the MO6 octahedra reducing the Ru–O–Ru angle to about 160°. Irrespective of Rh content the MO6 polyhedra are not regular octahedra but are elongated along the c direction. The temperature dependence of the structure of Sr2Ru0.9Rh0.1O4 was investigated and revealed this elongation to be weakly temperature dependent.

The degree of solvation of CV depends both on the mole fraction and concentration of cosolvent. The dimerization of CV was found to decrease with pressure, and with the ratio between methanol and CV concentrations.

Such instrumental configuration has previously been shown to provide improved sensitivity, scan rate, and duty cycle relative to accumulated trapping in the ICR cell. However, inefficient ion ejection from the octopole currently limits both detection limit and scan rate. SIMION 7.0 analysis predicts that a dc axial electric field inside the linear octopole ion trap expedites and synchronizes the efficient extraction of the octopole-accumulated ions. Further SIMION analysis optimizes the ion ejection properties of each of three electrode configurations designed to produce a near-linear axial potential gradient. More efficient extraction and transfer of accumulated ions spanning a wide m/z range promises to reduce detection limit and increase front-end sampling rate (e.g., to increase front-end resolution for separation techniques coupled with FT-ICR mass analysis). Addition of the axial field improves experimental signal-to-noise ratio by more than an order of magnitude.

Resolving 3He@C60− and 4He@C60− from C60 containing 3 or 4 13C instead of 12C atoms is technically challenging, because the target species are present in low relative abundance and are very close in mass. Nevertheless, we achieve baseline resolution of 3He@C60− from 13C312C57− and 4He@C60− from 13C412C56− in single-scan mass spectra obtained in broadband mode without preisolation of the ions of interest. The results constitute the first direct mass spectrometric observation of endohedral helium in a fullerene sample at this (low) level of incorporation. The results also demonstrate the feasibility of determining the extent of He incorporation from the FT-ICR mass spectral peak heights. The present measurements are in agreement with those obtained by the pyrolysis method . Although limited in sensitivity, the mass spectral method is faster and easier than pyrolysis.

Our results show that quantum confinement is only one mechanism responsible for visible photoluminescence (PL) in silicon nanoclusters and that the specific surface chemistry must be taken into account in order to interpret experimental results. In the case of oxygen, the gap reduction computed as a function of the nanocluster size provides a consistent interpretation of several recent experiments. Furthermore, we predict that other double bonded groups also significantly affect the optical gap, while single bonded groups have a minimal influence.

Systems with ideal H-passivated surfaces, or bare reconstructed surfaces have been considered. We show that the surface reconstruction leads to a very strong volume contraction of the nanoparticles, equivalent to an applied pressure of 4 GPa for a 2 nm nanoparticle. We also found that the surface reconstruction shifts significantly the optic mode peak of the vibrational spectrum, thus preventing a straightforward size determination from Raman spectroscopy.

These proteases play a key role in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including embryonic development, wound repair, inflammatory diseases and cancer. Yet, there is insufficient knowledge on the mode by which cell-produced MMPs conduct their action on the ECM. Specifically, the localization and the mode of the degradation within the pericellular space are of great interest. To provide new insights to these questions we utilized Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy to follow proteolytic processes, induced by invasive cancer cells, on insoluble collagen-based matrices. Here we show that FTIR micro-spectroscopy have a great potential for monitoring degradation events near cells. Using this tool we demonstrate that the net proteolysis is unevenly distributed around the cell boundary. The degradation patterns show different levels of proteolytic activity by MMPs within the pericellular space. In addition, our spectral analysis suggests that the enzymatic proteolysis of the collagen-based matrices induces unwinding of the triple helical structures of the macromolecules within the collagen network.

JO - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society JF - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Y1 - 2002/11//11/1/2002 VL - 336 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 851 EP - 866 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 00358711 AB - The Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic Survey (FCSS) project utilizes the Two-degree Field (2dF) multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). Its aim is to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all 14 000 objects with 16.5 ≤ b[sub j] ≤ 19.7 irrespective of their morphology in a 12 deg² area centred on the Fornax cluster. A sample of 24 Fornax cluster members has been identified from the first 2dF field (3.1 deg² in area) to be completed. This is the first complete sample of cluster objects of known distance with well-defined selection limits. Nineteen of the galaxies (with -15.8 < M[sub B] < - 12.7) appear to be conventional dwarf elliptical (dE) or dwarf SO (dSO) galaxies. The other five objects (with - 13.6 < M[sub B] < - 11.3) are those galaxies which were described recently by Drinkwater et al. and labelled 'ultracompact dwarfs' (UCDs). A major result is that the conventional dwarfs all have scale sizes α ... 3 arcsec (...300 pc). This apparent minimum scale size implies an equivalent minimum luminosity for a dwarf of a given surface brightness. This produces a limit on their distribution in the magnitude-surface brightness plane, such that we do not observe des with high surface brightnesses but faint absolute magnitudes. Above this observed minimum scale size of 3 arcsec, the des and dS0s fill the whole area of the magnitude-surface brightness plane sampled by our selection limits. The observed correlation between magnitude and surface brightness noted by several recent studies of brighter galaxies is not seen with our fainter cluster sample. A comparison of our results with the Fornax Cluster Catalog (FCC) of Ferguson illustrates that attempts to determine cluster membership solely on the basis of observed morphology can produce significant errors. The FCC identified 17 of the 24 FCSS sample (i.e. 71 per cent) as being 'cluster' members, in particular missing all five of the UCDs. The FCC also suffers from...

We hypothesized that the probable glial markers myo-inositol [MI] and choline compounds [CHO] would correlate with cognitive function, CD4 count, and viral loads, but not with serum lipids. Forty-five antiretroviral-drug-naı¨ve HIV patients and 25 control subjects were evaluated. Frontal lobe [MI], [CHO], and total creatine [CR] were elevated, while basal ganglia [CR] were decreased, with increasing dementia severity. As a group, HIV patients showed slowing on fine motor (Grooved Pegboard) and psychomotor function (Trails A & B), and deficits on executive function (Stroop tasks). Lower CD4 counts and elevated plasma viral loads were associated with elevated frontal white matter [MI], which in turn correlated with the Stroop tasks. These findings suggest that systemic factors (resulting from suppressed immune function and higher plasma viral load) may lead to glial proliferation (elevated [MI], [CHO], and [CR]) in the frontal white matter, which in turn may contribute to deficits on executive function in HIV. Studying antiretroviral-naı¨ve patients minimized the confounding effects of antiretroviral treatment on the clinical, MRS, and neuropsychological variables, and allowed for a more accurate assessment of the relationships among these measurements. Metabolite concentrations, rather than metabolite ratios, should be measured since [CR], a commonly used reference for metabolite ratios, varies with disease severity in both frontal lobe and basal ganglia.

Speciation of As in the fronds was determined using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) analyses. • The majority of As was found in the pinnae (96% of total As). The concentration of As in pinnae decreased from the base to the apex of the fronds. Arsenic concentrations in spores and midribs were much lower than in the pinnae. EDXA analyses revealed that As was compartmentalized mainly in the upper and lower epidermal cells, probably in the vacuoles. The distribution pattern of potassium was similar to As, whereas other elements (Ca, Cl, K, Mg, P and S) were distributed differently. • XANES analyses showed that approximately 75% of the As in fronds was present in the As(III) oxidation state and the remaining as As(V).

A new method of emulsion analysis, NETSCAN, was used to locate neutrino events and detect tau decays. It is based on a fully automated emulsion readout system (Ultra Track Selector) developed at Nagoya University.The achieved plate-to-plate alignment accuracy of ∼0.2 μm over an area of 2.6 mm×2.6 mm permitted an efficient and systematic tau decay search using emulsion data. Moreover, this accuracy allowed measurement of particle momenta by multiple Coulomb scattering, and contributed to the efficient background rejection for the ντ candidates. This paper describes details of our emulsion analysis methods.

Within the supersymmetric framework, higher precision measurements will allow to explore classes of models with stronger degree of universality: first, models with no universality, such as alignment or heavy first two squark generations; second, models with approximate universality, such as dilaton dominance or AMSB; and finally models of exact universality, such as GMSB. A broad program, including various rare processes or CP asymmetries in B, D and K decays, will provide detailed information about viable extensions of the Standard Model. Some highlights of future B-physics experiments (the present B-factories with integrated luminosity of 0.5 ab−1, hadron machines, and future high-luminosity B-factories) are described.

The laser spark energy of about 4 mJ was used for all the tests. The relative amounts of fuel and air concentrations at the laser focus have been estimated using a variant of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The ignition and the flame blow out times were measured using the time-resolved OH emission. Ignition times in the range from 3 to about 10 ms were observed depending on the experimental conditions and they increased towards the rich as well as the lean sides. The early time and late-time OH emissions indicate that chemical reactions during the initial stage of the blast wave expansion are not immediately responsible for the ignition. The ultimate fate of an ignition depends on the reactions at later times which determines whether the gas could undergo a transition from hot plasma to a propagating flame.

The convection is solutal: driven by gradients of concentration of a solute, rather than by heat gradients as in the more commonly studied thermal convection. The convective patterns, vermiculated rolls and isolated cells, are quite unlike the usual planforms. They are associated with an elastic surface film, and the Marangoni number is high, characteristic of solutal convection. We have conducted further experiments that reproduce these patterns in simpler working fluids.

Good quality material of the diboride structure type can only be obtained by partial substitution of Zr for Mo, and quenching of melts. The diboride phase is best made with boron in excess of the ideal 2:1 boron to metal ratio. Powder neutron diffraction measurements show that the nonstoichiometry is accommodated by atom deficiency in the metal layers. The diboride structure type exists for (Mo0.96Zr0.04)xB2 for 1.0⩾x⩾0.85. Electron diffraction shows that the stoichiometric material, x=1, has a significant number of stacking faults. Tc increases from 5.9 to 8.2 K with the introduction of metal vacancies. Resistivity measurements indicate that (Mo0.96Zr0.04)0.88B2 is a bad metal, and specific heat measurements show its electronic density of states (DOS) is γ=4.4 mJ/mol K2, and that ΔC/γTc=1.19. Preliminary boron isotope effect measurements indicate an exponent α=0.11±0.05. Analysis of the data in terms of the electronic structure is reported, allowing an estimate of the electron–phonon coupling constant, λ≈0.1–0.3, making these weak-coupling superconductors. Preliminary characterizations of the superconductivity in the related phases NbxB2 and (Mo0.96X0.04)0.85B2 for X=Ti and Hf are reported.

When synthesized at 850 °C, MgB2 is a line compound with a possible Mg vacancy content of about 1%. Small changes in lattice constants as a function of starting composition result from grain-interaction stresses, whose character is different in the Mg-rich, near-stoichiometric, and Mg-deficient regimes. A small linear decrease of the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, in the Mg-rich regime results from accidental impurity doping.

Whereas the residual resistivity ratio (RRR) varies between RRR≈4 to RRR⩾20 for different boron purity, it is only moderately affected by non-stoichiometry (from 20% Mg deficiency to 20% Mg excess) and is apparently independent of wire diameter and presence of Mg metal traces on the wire surface. The obtained set of data indicates that RRR values in excess of 20 and residual resistivities as low as ρ0≈0.4 μΩ cm are intrinsic material properties of high purity MgB2.

The substrates have significantly improved mechanical properties compared to 99.99% Ni and surface characteristics which are similar to that of 99.99% Ni substrates. High quality oxide buffer layers can be deposited on these substrates without the need for any additional surface modification steps. Grain boundary misorientation distributions obtained from the substrate show a predominant fraction of low-angle grain boundaries. A high critical current density, Jc, of 1.9 MA/cm2 at 77 K, self-field is demonstrated on this substrate using a multilayer configuration of YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/Y2O3/ Ni–3at.%W–1.7at.%Fe. This translates to a Ic/width of 59 A/cm at 77 K and self-field. Jc at 0.5 T is reduced by only 21% indicating strongly-linked grain boundaries in the YBCO film on this substrate.

Cube-textured Ni was formed by rolling and annealing; epitaxial CeO2/YSZ/CeO2/Pd buffer layers were deposited by reactive sputtering; YBCO was converted ex situ from Y, BaF2, and Cu codeposited by e-beam evaporation. Rocking curve FWHM (mean±standard deviation) for 95 segments of 1 cm length are: YBCO(0 0 5)=6.2±0.5°, YSZ(0 0 2)=10.4±0.4°, and Ni(0 0 2)=7.6±0.3°. φ scan FWHM are: YBCO(1 1 3)=9.6±0.4°, YSZ(1 1 1)=13.0±0.4°, and Ni(1 1 1)=10.6±0.4°. Greater than 95% of the tape at each point is cube textured from Ni to YBCO. The critical current density Jc is 0.36±0.04 MA/cm2 at 77 K and is inversely correlated with the rocking curve FWHM. Calculations suggest that Jc might be increased by a factor of 2.1 by producing a sharper texture and that the uniformity of the texture will support scaling to kilometer lengths.

The evidence suggests that the key to understanding this erosion is detailed knowledge of the coupled and complex phenomena of solids circulation and bubble motion. The FLUFIX computer code has been developed for this purpose. Computed hydrodynamic results compare well with experimental data (including the bubble frequency and size and the time-averaged porosity and pressure distributions) taken in a thin ‘two-dimensional’ rectangular fluidized beds containing a rectangular obstacle and a few-tube approximation of the International Energy Agency Grimethorpe tube bank ‘C1’ configuration.Six representative erosion models selected from the literature, comprising both single-particle and fluidized-bed models are critiqued. A methodology is described whereby the computed hydrodynamic results can be used with such erosion models. Previous attempts (none involving fluidized beds) to couple fluid mechanics and erosion models are reviewed. The energy dissipation models are developed, and are shown to generalize the so-called power dissipation model used to analyze slurry jet pump erosion. It is demonstrated, by explicitly introducing the force of the particle on the eroding material surface, that impaction and abrasive erosion mechanisms are basically the same. In doing so, it has been possible to unify the entire erosion literature developed for over a century.Linkage is made to two previously developed single-particle erosion models: Finnie''s and Neilson and Gilchrist''s. The implementation methodology, which can be applied to any erosion model, be it single-particle or fluidized bed, is summarized. The monolayer energy dissipation (MED) erosion model is developed.

These by-products may have adverse health effects, and can also interfere with the desired chemical removal by competing for the generated transients, thus lowering the overall efficiency of the remediation process. To allow for a quantitative evaluation of the influence of tert-butyl formate (TBF), a major by-product formed in the AOT destruction of methyl tert-butyl ether, rate constants for TBF reaction with the hydroxyl radical, the hydrated electron and the hydrogen atom in aqueous solution were measured in this study. Absolute values of (5.23±0.07)×108, (5.48±0.09)×108 and (3.58±0.07)×106 M−1 s−1, were determined at 22°C, respectively.

To allow a quantitative evaluation of the effect of NH2Cl on the destruction of organics in water rate constants for its reaction with the hydrated electron, the hydroxyl radical and the hydrogen atom were determined in this study. The corresponding values of (2.2±0.2)×1010, (2.8±0.2)×109, and (1.2±0.1)×109 M−1 s−1, respectively, were incorporated into a kinetic computer model whose predictions were in good agreement with experimental chloramine removal under large scale, steady-state electron-beam irradiation conditions. Rate constants were also determined for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical and hydrogen atom with the chloramine hydration product hydroxylamine to supplement established literature data. Hydroxyl radical rate constants for the basic (NH2OH) and acidic (NH3OH+) forms were determined as (8.5±0.4)×109 and ⩽5×107 M−1 s−1, respectively, while for hydrogen atom reaction, corresponding rate constants of (4.5±0.1)×107 and (3.6±1.5)×105 M−1 s−1 were found.

It is known that both TCE and PCE react with the aqueous electron and the hydroxyl radical with bimolecular rate constants greater than 109 M−1 s−1 for each reaction. The fact that high-energy electrons produce significant concentrations of both eaq− and ⋅OH radicals in water makes it an effective process for the removal of TCE and PCE from aqueous solution. We have employed steady state and computer-based chemical kinetic models to simulate and better understand the chemistry and kinetics of e-beam irradiation when applied to natural water systems. Model results were benchmarked to experimental data, allowing for the optimization of the reaction of DOC with the ⋅OH radical. Values for the associated second-order reaction rate constant were found to be 2.5×108 and 4.0×108 M−1 s−1, consistent with reported values for kOH,DOC. The models were also used to investigate the possibility of incomplete irradiation during treatment and the presence of proposed chemical reactions of by-products. The reactions involve radicals and radical-adduct species formed by the reaction of TCE and PCE with the hydroxyl radical.

This study was conducted, using an elevation gradient as an analog of climate change, to analyze climatic influence on soil microbial activity and soil properties. We collected soil from under cryptogamic crust and bunchgrass plants at 25 sites over a 500 m elevation transect in a shrub-steppe ecosystem located in eastern Washington State of the US. The samples were analyzed for several chemical and microbiological attributes including pH, microbial biomass and nitrification potential and the data grouped into five climate sites for statistical analysis. Soil pH decreased over the transect with higher pH values in the grass soil than the crust. In contrast soil electrical conductivity (EC) increased with increasing elevation as did both ammonium and nitrate. Ammonium and EC were greater in the crust soil than the grass soil but nitrate concentration was the same under both plant covers. Both total C and N amounts increased with elevation as did nitrification potential. Due to high sample spatial variability microbial biomass, respiration and N mineralization showed non-significant trends over the 500 m elevation transect. Using these measured gradient relationships the increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation that is expected in this shrub-steppe ecosystem over the next 100 years would eventually cause the pH to increase and the EC to decrease. Plants would become more sparse, nitrification potential would decrease and ammonium would increase. Total C, N and microbial biomass concentrations would begin decreasing and may shift the controlling factors of the ecosystem to abiotic factors. The changes in the cycling of N and to some extent C due to climate change could alter the microbial and plant community structure and function of this ecosystem and cause it to move in the direction of desertification.

The dependence of the measured forces on the pH and ionic strength of the solution are presented. The trends are consistent with expectations based on the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory.The kinetics of the nucleation and growth of tin oxide particles in aqueous solutions of tin(IV) chloride and hydrochloric acid were studied using dynamic laser scattering. The rate of formation of particles as a function of solution temperature, concentration, and pH agrees with thermodynamic calculations and with previous observations. Antimony-doped tin oxide films on SAM-coated glass have been found to be several orders of magnitude more conductive than identical coatings on bare glass.Apatite thin films have been deposited from simulated body fluid (SBF) on titanium metal. The porous topography of the metal, produced by prior etching in hydrochloric acid, was preserved in the deposited apatite films. The adhesion of these films to the substrate appears to have been greatly increased by the etching step, compared to films deposited on unetched titanium.

JO - Tree Physiology JF - Tree Physiology Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 22 IS - 15/16 M3 - Article SP - 1157 EP - 1166 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 0829318X AB - Trees exposed to elevated CO2 partial pressure ([CO2]) generally show increased rates of photosynthesis and growth, but effects on leaf respiration are more variable. The causes of this variable response are unresolved. We grew 12-year-old sweetgum trees (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) in a Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) facility in ambient [CO2] (37/44 Pa daytime/nighttime) and elevated [CO2] (57/65 Pa daytime/nighttime) in native soil at Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park. Nighttime respiration (RN) was measured on leaves in the upper and lower canopy in the second (1999) and third (2000) growing seasons of CO2 fumigation. Leaf respiration in the light (RL) was estimated by the technique of Brooks and Farquhar (1985) in the upper canopy during the third growing season. There were no significant short-term effects of elevated [CO2] on RN or long-term effects on RN or RL, when expressed on an area, mass or nitrogen (N) basis. Upper-canopy leaves had 54% higher RN (area basis) than lower-canopy leaves, but this relationship was unaffected by CO2 growth treatment. In August 2000, RL was about 40% of RN in the upper canopy. Elevated [CO2] significantly increased the number of leaf mitochondria (62%), leaf mass per unit area (LMA; 9%), and leaf starch (31%) compared with leaves in ambient [CO2]. Upper-canopy leaves had a significantly higher number of mitochondria (73%), N (53%), LMA (38%), sugar (117%) and starch (23%) than lower-canopy leaves. Growth in elevated [CO2] did not affect the relationships (i.e., intercept and slope) between RN and the measured leaf characteristics. Although no factor explained more than 45% of the variation in RN, leaf N and LMA were the best predictors for RN. Therefore, the response of RN to CO2 treatment and canopy position was largely dependent on the magnitude of the effect of elevated [CO2] or canopy position on these characteristics. Because elevated [CO2] had little or no effect on N or LMA, there was no effect on RN. Canopy position had large effects on these leaf characteristics, however, such that upper-canopy leaves exhibited higher RN than lower-canopy leaves. We conclude that elevated [CO2] does not directly impact leaf respiration in sweetgum and that barring changes in leaf nitrogen or leaf chemical composition, long-term effects of elevated [CO2] on respiration in this species will be minimal.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 38 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 16-1 EP - 16-11 SN - 00431397 AB - The traditional Richards equation (RE) in combination with standard monotonic properties (constitutive relations and hysteretic equations of state) has been shown to lack critical physics required to model gravity-driven fingering (GDF). We extend the RE with an experimentally observed hold-back-pile-up (HBPU) effect not captured in the standard porous-continuum RE formulation. We postulate the HBPU effect is tied to wetting front sharpness and can be mathematically formulated in a variety of ways to include hypodiffusive, hyperbolic, and mixed spatial-temporal forms involving respectively a Laplacian, a second-order derivative in time, and a Laplacian of a first-order derivative in time of the state variables. For each, we can infer an extended flux relation comprised of the Darcy-Buckingham flux plus an additional component due to the HBPU effect. Extended flux relations that are mathematically similar to each can be found in the single-phase and multiphase flow literature, however, all with very different underlying conceptualizations of the possible physics.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 38 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 35-1 EP - 35-12 SN - 00431397 AB - This work presents a series of numerical modeling studies that investigate the hydrogeologic conditions required to form capillary barriers and the effect that capillary barriers have on fluid flow and tracer transport processes in the unsaturated fractured rock of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a potential site for storing high-level radioactive waste. The modeling approach is based on a dual-continuum formulation of coupled multiphase fluid and tracer transport through fractured porous rock. The numerical modeling results showed that effective capillary barriers can develop where both matrix and fracture capillary gradients tend to move water upward. Under the current hydrogeologic conceptualization of Yucca Mountain, strong capillary barrier effects exist for diverting a significant amount of moisture flow through the relatively shallow Paintbrush nonwelded unit, with major faults observed at the site serving as major downward pathways for laterally diverted percolation fluxes. In addition, we used observed field liquid saturation and goechemical isotopic data to check model results and found consistent agreement.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/11// VL - 38 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 43-1 EP - 43-13 SN - 00431397 AB - What is the relationship between the visual attributes of a rock sample and its permeability, and how might such information be used in aquifer/reservoir characterization? We investigated these questions by way of three meter-scale blocks of rock, two sandstones, and one volcanic tuff. Each rock exhibits visual and permeability patterns that differ in geometry, intensity, and scale. Using a gas minipermeameter, hundreds to thousands of permeability values were collected on grids at centimeter-scale resolution from each block face and compared to the digital visual image of the same face. We found no significant direct correlation between the permeability measurements and any objective textural measure drawn from the corresponding digital images, despite the obvious resemblance of the permeability maps and visual images. Hypothesizing that the human eye relies on spatial correlation to synthesize information, we calculated and compared semivariograms for both the maps and the images. Semivariogram shape, anisotropy ratio, and principal axes orientation were consistent for the maps and images of each rock but different between rocks. To explore this similarity further, we compared discrete features appearing in map/image pairs, using a difference of Gaussian edge filter to segment (i.e., delineate) the spatial features. The filter consistently colocated visually sharp features, such as sedimentological bounding surfaces, in both the map and the image. Additionally, cumulative distribution functions characterizing the size, shape, and orientation of the segmented features were statistically indistinguishable between a permeability map and its corresponding visual image but statistically different between rocks. These results suggest that it may not always be possible to use visual images (photographs or scans) of outcrops to directly map permeability, even with a training set of punctual permeability data. In particular, defining such relations may be difficult where the scales of analysis and/or intensity of heterogeneity are limited (e.g., within a given facies) as is the case here. Where direct mapping is not possible, these results suggest that visual images can still be used to delineate spatial permeability patterns, especially to locate boundaries where sharp permeability contrasts occur. Other surrogate measurements of permeability, in particular the various geophysical methods, may exhibit similar behavior.

We demonstrate how to make redefinitions at the superfield level in order to account for tree-level exchange of vector supermultiplets in the effective supergravity theory of the light fields in the supersymmetric vacuum phase. Our approach builds upon previous results that we obtained in a more elementary case. We find that the modular weights of light fields are typically shifted from their original values, allowing an interpretation in terms of the preservation of modular invariance in the effective theory. We address various subtleties in defining unitary gauge that are associated with the noncanonical Ka¨hler potential of modular invariant supergravity, the vacuum degeneracy, and the role of the dilaton field. We discuss the effective superpotential for the light fields and note how proton decay operators may be obtained when the heavy fields are integrated out of the theory at the tree-level. We also address how our formalism may be extended to describe the generalized Green–Schwarz mechanism for multiple anomalous U(1)'s that occur in four-dimensional Type I and Type IIB string constructions.

All surfaces exhibit a (1×1) termination but distinctly different terrace and step structures. On the zinc-terminated (0 0 0 1)-Zn surface, the terraces are covered with triangular islands and pits of different sizes, rotated by 180° with respect to those in the neighboring terraces. Single-layer steps with a height of ∼2.7 A˚ are observed. Vicinal surfaces of (0 0 0 1)-Zn consist of terraces separated by alternating straight and saw-tooth-shaped steps. On the oxygen-terminated (0 0 0 1¯)-O surface, flat hexagonal terraces are separated by predominantly ∼5.3 A˚ high-double-layer steps. The terraces are wide (∼500 A˚) and smooth with no added islands and holes. They are not covered with a saturation coverage of hydrogen. Near-atomic-resolution images of the prism (1 0 1¯ 0) surface show flat, rectangular terraces separated by single-layer steps (∼3 A˚) running perpendicular to the 〈0 0 0 1〉 and 〈1 2¯ 1 0〉 directions. A high density of terraces with atomic rows running preferentially along the 〈0 0 0 1〉 directions was observed on the as-grown (1 1 2¯ 0) surface. This surface is the least stable and tends to form long grooves that are ∼250 A˚ wide and ∼50 A˚ deep along the 〈1 1¯ 0 0〉 directions. STS measurements show semiconductor-like behavior of all the surfaces, but a slightly different I–V characteristic of the (0 0 0 1¯)-O face. Based on these results, structural models for the different surfaces are proposed and related to the stability and reactivity of ZnO surfaces.

In qualitative terms, the LDA and GGA predict similar structural relaxations for the SrTiO3(0 0 1) system. DF results for bulk SrTiO3 and SrTiO3(0 0 1) illustrate the important effects that metal oxygen metal interactions can have on the electronic and chemical properties of a mixed-metal oxide. A big increase in the electron density of Ti is found when going from TiO2 to SrTiO3. This phenomenon can easily explain why SrTiO3 is a much better DeSOx catalyst than pure TiO2.

The primary solidification phase under rapid- and slow-cooling rate conditions was examined. The results showed nonequilibrium austenite solidification during rapid cooling; in contrast to the equilibrium δ-ferrite solidification that occurs under slow cooling conditions. These experimental results were analyzed using computational thermodynamics and interface-response function models. Results of the interface response function calculations considering the effect of carbon alone, predicted a change from primary δ-ferrite to primary austenite solidification with an increase in solid-liquid interface velocity.

For certain applications it is desirable to deposit Be-rich coatings that are homogeneous, isotropic, dense, mechanically strong, and smooth. One way to develop this set of properties is to refine the grain size in these deposits to the nanoscale range. In this study, the compositional effects of Cu, Fe, and B additions on the microstructure of Be coatings have been characterized with transmission electron microscopy. Fe and B additions are found to have a dominant affect on grain refinement. Furthermore, an amorphous Be-B phase is found in deposits having compositions in excess of 11 at.% B. Nanoindentation was used to assess the mechanical properties of the coatings. The measured hardness values are correlated with the grain size and compositions of the coatings. The presence of amorphous Be-B phases is found to decrease the coating hardness.

Significant differences in the equation of state (stress–shock velocity–particle velocity), one-dimensional yield strength and shear strength have been observed. These have been explained in terms of the microstructural differences between the two alloys. In addition, differences between the equation of state and the calculated hydrostat have been noted. An increase in the shear strength with increasing stress has been suggested, and confirmed with independent lateral stress measurements. The increase in shear strength has been explained as being due to the high work-hardening rates displayed by such materials, although an alternative possibility—the positive dependence of the shear modulus to pressure—has also been proposed.

Such systems can find wider applications if they do not require a supply of water in addition to the supply of fuel, that is, if they can be self-sustaining based on the water produced at the fuel cell stack. This paper considers a generic PEFC system and identifies the parameters that affect, and the extent of their contribution to, the net water balance in the system. These parameters include the steam-to-carbon and the oxygen-to-carbon ratios in the fuel processor, the electrochemical fuel and oxygen utilizations in the fuel cell stack, the ambient pressure and temperature, and the composition of the fuel used. The analysis shows that the amount of water lost from the system as water vapor in the exhaust is very sensitive to the system pressure and ambient temperature, while the amount of water produced in the system is a function of the composition of the fuel. Fuels with a high H/C (hydrogen to carbon atomic ratio) allow the system to be operated as a net water producer under a wider range of operating conditions.

Compared to active water recovery systems, a passive approach would eliminate the need for a separate water source, pumps, and actuators, and thus reduce parasitic thermal losses. The passive approach developed in this paper employs a capillary pump that recovers the water vapor from the exhaust, while providing a diffusion barrier that prevents exhaust gases from entering the fuel stream. Benchtop proof tests have proven the feasibility of the passive fuel humidifier concept, and have provided a calibration factor for a computational design tool that can be used for industrial applications.

Recently, a key role in a pathway parallel to the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been ascribed to TPP II, which forms a giant protease complex in mammalian cells. Here, we report the 900-fold purification of TPP II from Drosophila eggs and demonstrate via cryo-electron microscopy that TPP II from Drosophila melanogaster also forms a giant protease complex. The presented three-dimensional reconstruction of the 57 ×27 nm TPP II complex at 3.3 nm resolution reveals that the 150 kDa subunits form a superstructure composed of two segmented and twisted strands. Each strand is 12.5 nm in width and composed of 11 segments that enclose a central channel.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 2002/11/15/ VL - 21 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 6195 EP - 6204 SN - 02614189 AB - A physiologically important alternative pre-mRNA splicing switch, involving activation of protein 4.1R exon 16 (E16) splicing, is required for the establishment of proper mechanical integrity of the erythrocyte membrane during erythropoiesis. Here we identify a conserved exonic splicing silencer element (CE16) in E16 that interacts with hnRNP A/B proteins and plays a role in repression of E16 splicing during early erythropoiesis. Experiments with model pre- mRNAs showed that CE16 can repress splicing of upstream introns, and that mutagenesis or replacement of CE16 can relieve this inhibition. An affinity selection assay with biotinylated CE16 RNA demonstrated specific binding of hnRNP A/B proteins. Depletion of hnRNP A/B proteins from nuclear extract significantly increased E16 inclusion, while repletion with recombinant hnRNP A/B restored E16 silencing. Most importantly, differentiating mouse erythroblasts exhibited a stage-specific activation of the E16 splicing switch in concert with a dramatic and specific down-regulation of hnRNP A/B protein expression. These findings demonstrate that natural developmental changes in hnRNP A/B proteins can effect physiologically important switches in pre- mRNA splicing.

Surface complexation modeling can be used to predict metal distributions in water–rock systems, and it has been used to quantify bacterial adsorption of metal cations. However, successful application of these models requires a detailed knowledge not only of the type of bacterial surface site involved in metal adsorption/desorption, but also of the binding geometry. Previous acid-base titrations of B. subtilis cells suggested that three surface functional group types are important on the cell wall; these groups have been postulated to correspond to carboxyl, phosphoryl, and hydroxyl sites. When the U(VI) adsorption to B. subtilis is measured, observed is a significant pH-independent absorption at low pH values (<3.0), ascribed to an interaction between the uranyl cation and a neutrally charged phosphoryl group on the cell wall. The present study provides independent quantitative constraints on the types of sites involved in uranyl binding to B. subtilis from pH 1.67 to 4.80. The XAFS results indicate that at extremely low pH (pH 1.67) UO22+ binds exclusively to phosphoryl functional groups on the cell wall, with an average distance between the U atom and the P atom of 3.64 ± 0.01 A˚. This U-P distance indicates an inner-sphere complex with an oxygen atom shared between the UO22+ and the phosphoryl ligand. The P signal at extremely low pH value is consistent with the UO22+ binding to a protonated phosphoryl group, as previously ascribed. With increasing pH (3.22 and 4.80), UO22+ binds increasingly to bacterial surface carboxyl functional groups, with an average distance between the U atom and the C atom of 2.89 ± 0.02 A˚. This U-C distance indicates an inner-sphere complex with two oxygen atoms shared between the UO22+ and the carboxyl ligand. The results of this XAFS study confirm the uranyl-bacterial surface speciation model.

This type of disorder has not been reported previously for Bi2Ru2O7, and is proposed to be a common feature of A2B2O7 pyrochlores having a lone electronic pair on the A-site cation. The electronic properties of Bi2Ru2O7 are discussed in terms of calculated electronic band structure, local ruthenium coordination, and the static bismuth displacement.

T1 - Slow dynamics by molecular dynamics JO - Physica A JF - Physica A Y1 - 2002/11/15/ VL - 315 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 03784371 AB - We learned early in the computer study of the H-function with particle dynamics that the velocity distribution reaches a local equilibrium (Maxwellian) distribution fast, within a few mean collision times, but that the subsequent structural rearrangement of the particles can be quite slow, particularly if a highly correlated event of many degrees of freedom is involved. During that process potential energy is slowly converted into kinetic energy to reach overall equilibrium.To study processes that are so unlikely that they do not occur within long computer runs (typically less than 10−8 s of real time) we developed a rare event algorithm. In that calculation the particles are brought adiabatically, that is so slowly that the system is at equilibrium in the presence of the external force at every step, to the rare event configuration (the activated state) and the work to do that is determined. The probability of the event is then calculated by standard reaction rate theory by also determining the transmission coefficient through releasing the constraint near the activated state and observing how often the system goes to the new state relative to how often it falls back to the initial state. The problem with that calculation besides the assumption of adiabaticity is that one needs a model for the activated state, which is often hard to guess. Simulated annealing might aid in the search for an activated state.The other possibility is to speed up particle dynamics and that can be done by direct simulation Monte Carlo, a stochastic particle solution of the Boltzmann equation for a perfect gas. That approach can be extended to higher densities, but the stochastic approach cannot account for the structural features of the medium. However, systems can be followed up to 10−5 s. We have been able to follow, for example, droplet formation and coalescence by this method. To study even larger systems we have embedded this particle algorithm into a continuum Navier–Stokes algorithm to study the onset of hydrodynamic instabilities. However, the approach cannot deal with the protein folding problem, because the structural aspects dominate the process. One would have to embed molecular dynamics into a continuum, a much more computer intensive problem, in order to even treat water, for example, as a continuum beyond a few molecular layers around a biological molecule.

A BaZrO3 (BZO) precursor solution was prepared by sol–gel synthesis using Ba and Zr based alkoxide. Reel-to-reel continuous sol–gel dip coating method was used to grow BZO coatings on superconducting tapes. Processing, microstructure and electrical properties of high temperature BZO insulation coatings have been studied. The BZO coatings were grown in the temperature range of 450 and 600 °C in air. ESEM and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate microstructure and crystallinity of the coatings. Room temperature resistance, dielectric constant, and high voltage breakdown strength of the coatings were measured to be 13 MΩ, 22.5 and 1.0 kV at 1.5 mA, respectively.

Coordination complexes of these ligands with ruthenium were prepared straightforwardly and in good yield. The luminescence behavior of the Ru complexes was studied as a function of pH and exposure to various concentrations of glucose. The methyl bipyridine complex showed no change in luminescence with pH; the amino derivative showed a rapid decrease from low pH to neutral, and the amino-boronate derivative showed a gradual decrease from pH 4 to 10. Luminescence quenching was observed at high pH as expected on the basis of a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) signaling mechanism. This behavior can be explained on the basis of the first oxidation and reduction potentials of these complexes. Glucose testing showed a significant dependence on the solvent system used. In pure methanol, the ruthenium boronate complex exhibits a 4 and 10% luminescence intensity increase upon increasing glucose concentration from 0 to 400 and 0 to 1600 mg/dl, respectively. However, in 50 vol.% methanol/phosphate buffered saline, none of the complexes showed significant response in the glucose range of physiological interest.

The devices reported in this work were tested at 600 and 700 °C and in gas mixtures with O2 concentrations between 0.86 and 1.75%. An Au/LaMnO3/YSZ/Y0.16Tb0.30Zr0.54O2⋅−/Au device was tested for a total of 3000 h at 600 and 700 °C and was subject to periodic excursions to 10−10 atm PO2 to simulate reducing conditions. SEM analysis indicated that the aging effects measured in the device response over the course of this experiment may be linked to the sintering of the Au pad used for current collection on the metal oxide electrode. Three-terminal devices were fabricated so that the magnitude of the mixed potential generated from CO and C3H6 exposure on the Au/Y0.16Tb0.30Zr0.54O2⋅−, Pt/Y0.16Tb0.30Zr0.54O2⋅−, Au/LaMnO3, and Pt/LaMnO3 metal/metal oxide electrode combinations could be studied at 600 °C and in 1% O2. It was found that the catalytic properties of the Au or Pt used for current collection played a significant role in the generation of the mixed potential for both metal oxides tested. The combination of Pt on LaMnO3 gave an equilibrium response whereas a significant mixed potential was generated on both Au/Y0.16Tb0.30Zr0.54O2⋅− and Au/LaMnO3 electrodes at 600 °C.

The gluon bremsstrahlung induced by multiple scattering depends not only on direct parton matrix elements but also on momentum-crossed ones, due to the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal interference effect. We show that both types of twist-four nuclear parton matrix elements can be factorized approximately into the product of twist-two nucleon matrix elements in the limit of extremely large nuclei, A→∞, as assumed in previous studies. Due to the correlative nature of the twist-four matrix elements under consideration, it is actually the off-forward parton distributions that appear naturally in this decomposition, rather than the ordinary diagonal distributions probed in deeply-inelastic scattering. However, we argue that the difference between these two distribution classes is small in certain kinematic regimes. In these regions, the twist-four nuclear parton matrix elements are evaluated numerically and compared to the factorized form for different nuclear sizes within a schematic model of the two-nucleon correlation function. The nuclear size dependence is found to be A4/3 in the limit of large A, as expected. We find that the factorization is reasonably good when the momentum fraction carried by the gluon field is moderate. The deviation can be more than a factor of 2, however, for small gluon momentum fractions, where the gluon distribution is very large.

That is, the cross-section increases as the logarithm squared of the energy, with a proportionality coefficient involving the pion mass and the BFKL intercept (αsNc/π)4ln2. The pion mass enters via the non-perturbative initial conditions at low energy. The BFKL equation emerges as a limit of the non-linear evolution equation valid in the tail of the hadron wavefunction. We provide a physical picture for the transverse expansion of the hadron with increasing energy, and emphasize the importance of the colour correlations among the saturated gluons in suppressing non-unitary contributions due to long-range Coulomb tails. We present the first calculation of the saturation scale including the impact parameter dependence. We show that the cross-section at high energy exhibits geometric scaling with a different scaling variable as compared to the intermediate energy regime.

(1996, J. Comput. Phys.125, 104) to the solution of the implicit formulation of the three-dimensional, time-dependent Vlasov–Maxwell''s system. An implicit finite difference algorithm is developed to solve the Maxwell''s equations in a bounded domain with physical boundary conditions comprising electrically conducting walls (perfect conductors) and constant magnetic flux walls. We formulate the boundary conditions for Maxwell''s equations to satisfy Poisson''s equation throughout the domain by solving it only on the boundary. This eliminates the need for a separate projection step. We compare numerical results with analytical solutions for electromagnetic waves in vacuo, and using the implicit particle-in-cell code CELESTE3D, we test the new solver on the geospace environment modeling magnetic reconnection challenge problem.

We apply these results to the computed work of adhesion for Pd(1 1 1) to α-Al2O3(0 0 0 1). Here polarization bonding dominates at the interface and is well described by DFT, but the surface energies of both the metal and the oxide have substantial errors due to electron self-exchange and self-correlation. We show that this correction is quite large for the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), thus explaining the difference between GGA results for metal/metal-oxide binding and those obtained by the local density approximation, where an accidental cancellation in errors produces better agreement with experiment. After the corrections, both methods produce results that are within the experimental error bars.

The detector consists of a lead scintillator “sandwich” of 25 layers of 5 mm thick scintillator BC404 and 24 layers of 2 mm lead absorber. Readout is implemented with 30–60 cm long wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers (BCF 99-29AA) glued into grooves in the BC404. Average yield was measured with cosmic rays to be about 43 p.e./MeV. Performance of extruded plastic scintillation counters developed for sandwich detectors of photons for the KOPIO experiment are also described. For a 7 mm thick counter with 4.3 m long WLS fibers spaced at 7 mm, a light yield of 18.7 p.e./MeV and time resolution of 0.71 ns were obtained. A prototype photon veto module consisting of 10 layers of 7 mm thick extruded plastic slabs interleaved with 1 mm lead sheets was tested.

Since August 2001, the TOF system has been fully instrumented and integrated into the CDF-II data acquisition system. The TOF system will provide particle identification of low momentum charged pions, kaons and protons in pp¯ collisions. With a design resolution goal of about 100 ps, separation between charged kaons and pions is expected at the 2 sigma level for momenta below 1.6 GeV/c, which enhances CDF's b-flavor tagging capabilities. We describe the design of the TOF detector and discuss its on-line and off-line calibration. Some performance benchmarks using proton–antiproton collision data are presented.

The chambers are constructed of bakelite sheets separated by 2 mm. The inner surfaces are coated with linseed oil. This system provides muon and neutral hadron detection for BaBar. Installation and commissioning were completed in 1998, and operation began mid-year 1999. While initial performance of the system reached design, over time, a significant fraction of the RPCs demonstrated significant degradation, marked by increased currents and reduced efficiency. A coordinated effort of investigations have identified many of the elements responsible for the degradation. This article presents our current understanding of the aging process of the BaBar RPCs along with the action plan to combat performance degradation of the IFR system.

Although the strips are unusually wide (up to 16 mm) for the cathode-to-anode wire distance of 5 mm, the six-plane structure of these chambers yields a spatial resolution of about 80 μm, essentially uniform and independent of the strip width. In addition, the net spatial resolution of about one-tenth of the strip width at the hardware trigger level (300 ns) is obtained using a simple network of comparators. Time resolution achieved at the trigger level is ∼4 ns (rms) that allows unambiguous tagging of bunch crossings which occur every 25 ns. Aging test results, including those obtained with a recirculating gas system, are discussed; only minor aging affects were observed. The aging studies were performed with large-scale chambers; 700 m of wire were irradiated for a dose up to 0.4 C/cm of the total accumulated charge.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2002/11/24/ VL - 65 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 2029 EP - 2052 SN - 15287394 AB - Manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites are contaminated with coal tar and may contain metals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and vanadium (V). These metals are known to cause cancer or other adverse health conditions in humans, and the extent and cost of remediating MGP sites may be influenced by the presence of these metals. Studies assessed the distribution of these metals in female B6C3F1 mice ingesting (1) a metal mixture in water or (2) an MGP mixture in NIH-31 feed. The highest metal levels were measured in the small intestine and kidneys of mice receiving the metal mixture in water. For mice receiving the metal mixture in water, levels of As, Cd, and Cr, in the small intestine, levels of As, Cd, Cr, and V in the kidneys, levels of As and Cd in the pancreas, and levels of Cr and V in the femur were significantly greater than controls at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 wk. Except for Ni levels in the small intestine and femur and Cr levels in the kidneys, levels of metals were much lower in mice administered the MGP mixture in feed. The highest concentrations of metals in mice ingesting the MGP mixture in feed were found in the small intestine and kidneys, but few were significantly greater than controls. Levels of As in the small intestine at 6 and 18 wk and levels of Cr in the kidneys at 12, 18, and 24 wk were significantly greater than in controls. The data suggest that tissue burdens in small intestine, kidneys, pancreas, and femur of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and vanadium are less when metals are present as an MGP mixture in feed than as a mixture in water. The reduced distribution and accumulation of metals in the organs of mice ingesting the MGP mixture in feed compared to the levels in organs of mice ingesting the metal mixture in water suggests that metals may be less likely to accumulate in humans ingesting MGP mixtures, thereby presenting a lower overall human health risk. The data presented indicate that the matrix in which metals are present will affect the uptake of individual metals and the organ specificity.

Diffusion coefficients of Si were determined (within both the joint and/or residue zone) to analyze its migration across the clad–core interface of an Al brazing sheet, including both the period prior to reaching brazing temperature range, and the peak brazing temperature range. Subsequently, diffusion coefficients were used to predict the joint formation during brazing. Migration of silicon is not uniform along the clad–core interface during brazing and depends, in addition to material characteristics and process parameters, on the vicinity of the joint zone. It is argued that, due to these alterations, the joint formation modeling must be performed by using in situ determined diffusion coefficients. The diffusion coefficients determined directly from electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) scans at different locations along the cladding sheet and within the joint zone differ between each other and when compared to the literature data. This variation influences the outcome of the residue formation modeling; hence the joint formation modeling may be affected. The relation between these phenomena is briefly discussed and quantitative data regarding diffusion coefficients, and in particular an approach to utilization of these data in modeling of joint formation, are provided.

These equivalent pictures are related by a non-periodic gauge transformation. However, we find that boundary condition gauge symmetry breaking on orbifolds is explicit; there is no gauge where all the breaking can be attributed to a background gauge field. In the case of a five-dimensional SU(5) grand unified theory on S1/Z2, the vacuum with gauge symmetry broken to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) and that with SU(5) preserved are completely disconnected: there is no physical process which causes tunneling between the two. This allows a certain localized explicit breaking of SU(5) on one of the orbifold fixed points in the theory with SU(5) breaking. Split multiplets on this fixed point are shown not to induce violations of unitarity in scattering amplitudes.

Document clustering plays an important role in information retrieval and taxonomy management for the Web. In this paper we examine three clustering methods: K-means, multi-level METIS, and the recently developed normalized-cut method using a new approach of combining textual information, hyperlink structure and co-citation relations into a single similarity metric. We found the normalized-cut method with the new similarity metric is particularly effective, as demonstrated on three datasets of web query results. We also explore some theoretical connections between the normalized-cut method and the K-means method.

Certain pattern recognition algorithms can become computationally intractable when the number of features reaches hundreds or even thousands, while others can break down if there are large correlations among the features. A common solution to these problems is to reduce the dimension, either in conjunction with the pattern recognition algorithm or independent of it.We describe how dimension reduction techniques can be applied in the context of a specific data mining application, namely, the classification of radio-galaxies with a bent double morphology. We discuss certain statistical and exploratory data analysis methods to reduce the number of features, and the subsequent improvements in the performance of decision tree and generalized linear model classifiers. We show that a careful extraction and selection of features is necessary for the successful application of data mining techniques.

Ataxia telangiectasia (AT), Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), and an ataxia-like disorder (ATLD), are chromosome instability disorders that are defective in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), NBS, and Mre11 genes, respectively. These genes are critical in maintaining cellular resistance to ionizing radiation (IR), which kills largely by the production of double-strand breaks (DSBs). Bloom syndrome involves a defect in the BLM helicase, which seems to play a role in restarting DNA replication forks that are blocked at lesions, thereby promoting chromosome stability. The Werner syndrome gene (WRN) helicase, another member of the RecQ family like BLM, has very recently been found to help mediate homologous recombination. Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically complex chromosomal instability disorder involving seven or more genes, one of which is BRCA2. FA may be at least partially caused by the aberrant production of reactive oxidative species. The breast cancer-associated BRCA1 and BRCA2 proteins are strongly implicated in HRR; BRCA2 associates with Rad51 and appears to regulate its activity. We discuss in detail the phenotypes of the various mutant cell lines and the signaling pathways mediated by the ATM kinase. ATM’s phosphorylation targets can be grouped into oxidative stress-mediated transcriptional changes, cell cycle checkpoints, and recombinational repair. We present the DNA damage response pathways by using the DSB as the prototype lesion, whose incorrect repair can initiate and augment karyotypic abnormalities.

In this in vivo human study, we used proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), which yields measures of N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), a marker of living neurons, to examine frontal brain regions possibly affected by methamphetamine dependence (MD). We tested the hypothesis that MD subjects would exhibit abnormally low levels of NAA, referenced to creatine (Cr), in anterior cingulate gray matter. We further hypothesized that the primary visual cortex, which receives relatively less DA innervation than the frontal brain regions, would show normal NAA/Cr ratios in MD subjects. Subjects included nine MD men (mean±standard deviation (S.D.)=32.5±6.4 years) and nine age-matched control men (mean±S.D.=32.7±6.8 years). The MD subjects were MA-free for 4–13 weeks. Proton MRS metabolites were expressed as ratios of creatine; the absolute values of which did not distinguish controls and MD subjects. With regard to metabolite ratios, the MD men had significantly lower NAA/Cr in the cingulum (mean±standard error (S.E.): control=1.46±0.03; MD=1.30±0.03; Mann–Whitney P=0.01) but not in the visual cortex (mean±S.E.: control=1.64±0.06; MD=1.69±11; Mann–Whitney P=0.52) relative to controls. These results provide evidence for NAA/Cr deficit that is selective to the anterior cingulum, at least with respect to visual cortex, in MD subjects. The neuronal compromise that these changes reflect may contribute to the attentional deficits and dampened reward system in MD.

The data treating procedure allowed to obtain the dynamics of quasi-trapped electrons of different energies on effective L-shells ranging from 6.6 to 7.0. It was found that in quiet conditions a stable fine spatial structure of quasi-trapped electrons exists with maximum of fluxes near L = 6.78 and MLT=12. This structure may be looked at as an asymmetrical “mini-belt”. The position of the maximum depends on electron energy and changes with magnetic activity. The dynamics of this mini-belt for both quiet and disturbed periods is illustrated and discussed. During isolated magnetic storms the mini-belt maximum shifts in a regular manner outward and inward; a diffusion wave of quasi-trapped particles propagates from outside of the geostationary orbit and serves as a source of new particles for the mini-belt. The azimuthal geometry of this diffusion wave extracted from experimental data is illustrated. The possible role of the “mini-belt” is discussed in relation with well-known “anomalous” dynamics of the inner radiation belt.

Cytokine-induced adhesion molecule expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) has been reported to be inhibited by either native HDL or reconstituted discoidal HDL (rHDL). In the present study we investigated these putative anti-atherosclerotic effects of HDL and rHDL in a more physiologically relevant cell type, i.e. human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC). HDL isolated by ultracentrifugation from eleven healthy subjects or rHDL made with apoA-I and either 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLPC), or 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was incubated for 16 h with HAEC prior to stimulation with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα, 100 U/ml). Expression of E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was measured by cell ELISA and Northern blot analysis. HDL (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg protein/ml) failed to significantly inhibit TNFα-induced mRNA and protein expression of all three adhesion molecules. Furthermore, of the three rHDL preparations (16 μmol/l apoA-I) only that containing the polyunsaturated PLPC significantly reduced TNFα-induced VCAM-1 expression (by 29.9±9.1%). These data contrast with previously reported results using plasma HDL and HUVEC, and show that human HDL and rHDL, except for PLPC-rHDL, are ineffective inhibitors of TNFα-induced adhesion molecule expression in HAEC. The ability of polyunsaturated phospholipids in HDL to affect endothelial activation remains to be further investigated.

The campaign was conducted to investigate the relationships between ultrafine/fine particles and gaseous species observed. A varimax-rotation factor analysis was performed to explore the relationship of the fine and ultrafine particle number concentrations, the gaseous species concentration, the mean wind speed, and the solar radiation. A 6-factor model was found to best resolve 79.7% of the variability embedded in the data. The model suggests that 31.4% of the data variability could be explained by ultrafine particles (the diameters smaller than or equal to 100 nm). It was difficult to label this factor without chemistry information of the ultrafine particles. However, no gas species were loaded on Factor 1 indicating the ultrafine particles observed in this study were not associated with primary source emissions. The decoupling of the ultrafine particles from the fine particles also implies that the former ones might have been produced and transported to the site by separated mechanisms from those of fine particles. The second factor included the PM2.5 mass concentration and the number concentrations of particles in the diameter range of 101–400 nm. The loading pattern on Factor 2 led to the conclusion that this factor was contributed by regional transport. The third factor includes CO, NO2, reactive odd nitrogen (NOy), and SO2 that were contributed by primary source emissions. The mean wind speed and ozone were loaded in Factor 4 that was labeled as ozone transport. Identification of this factor led to an observation that ozone transport to the site was essentially decoupled from the regional transport factor of fine particles (i.e., Factor 2). Solar radiation was singly included in the fifth factor indicating this is a unique factor. The quality of NO data was marginal and the variable was distilled by the model into Factor 6. A multiple regression analysis further indicated that PM2.5 mass concentration was best explained by CO, O3, and number concentrations of particles in the diameter range between 0.1 and 0.4 μm. We also identified two unique events during the campaign in which the number concentrations of 31–51 nm particles dramatically increased by a factor of 10 in 30 min, reaching 40,000 cm−3 and lasting for a couple of hours. Particles in the size range just below and above those in the 31–51 nm diameter range also exhibited increases during these events, but the changes were much less dramatic.

The model obtains emission factors from the Biogenic Emission Inventory System (BEIS). This biogenic emissions model, combined with a dry deposition model, was applied with environmental variable values supplied by MM5 (the fifth-generation Mesoscale Model). The modeled temporal variations and spatial distributions of the surface emissions rates of isoprene, monoterpenes, and nitric oxide the eastern US agreed well with reported simulations, measurements, and inferences. Use of the satellite data generates considerable detail in the spatial patterns, high temporal resolution, and a smooth seasonal variation in the emission rates. The new biogenic emissions model was used with a photochemistry modeling system to infer ozone (O3) concentrations in the lower troposphere above the eastern United States for a two-day case in July 1995, which had O3 episodes studied previously by the Ozone Transport Assessment Group. Compared to the results from the OTAG application of BEIS2, the satellite-data-derived isoprene emissions were slightly lower in the northeastern United States, which resulted in smaller values of O3 concentration and were 3–4 times higher in southeastern mixed forests, which had little impact on O3 except near strong NOx emission sources.

For low ion charges, however, spin-changing "intercombination" transitions have a rate that renders them too slow for traditional fast-beam techniques. Here ion traps and fast-ion beams have been combined in the concept of heavy-ion storage rings. These devices have permitted not only an extension of intercombination lifetime measurements down to singly charged ions, but they also facilitated similar measurements on electric-dipole forbidden transitions. The electron-beam ion trap (EBIT) complements the storage-ring work for work on highly charged ions. Achievements, technical issues, and prospects are outlined.PACS Nos.: 32.70Cs, 32.30Jc, 34.50FaDepuis plusieurs années, les mesures de durée de vie dans les ions multi-chargés ont été effectuées presque exclusivement par la spectroscopie faisceau-lame (« beam-foil »).

JO - Canadian Journal of Physics JF - Canadian Journal of Physics Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 80 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1687 EP - 1700 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00084204 AB - We present experimental data on visible transitions in highly charged ions observed in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) electron beam ion traps, including results from lines within the ground-state configuration and the first excited configuration. Measurements of lines produced by Kr (q = 11+ to 22+), Xe (q = 18+ to 35+), and Ba (q = 28+ to 36+) ions, corresponding mainly to 3s[sup l] 3p[sup m] 3d[sup n] configurations, were carried out. The ionization stages were determined experimentally by sweeping the electron beam energy over the ionization threshold of each species. We propose possible identifications for the lines with the help of simple atomic structure calculations. However, most observed lines remained unidentified, demonstrating that the understanding of visible spectra from highly charged ions, even if obtained under nearly "ideal" experimental conditions, is still in its infancy. These spectral data may be useful for the diagnostics of magnetically confined plasmas and may set the stage for future measurements of radiative lifetimes. In our experiments, we used the emission from visible lines to image the intersection of the electron beam with a beam of neutral atoms injected into the trap at a right angle as well as the ion cloud in the trap. Under some conditions, the diameter of the ion cloud may be an order of magnitude larger than that of the electron beam.

Applications envisioned for such systems include primary propulsion power for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles, auxiliary power for trucks and heavy-duty vehicles (for operator quality-of-life and housekeeping needs) and portable power generation for residential and recreational use. The operating mode of these small fuel cell systems differs dramatically from that of larger fuel cell systems (100–1000 kW) designed for utility power generation. These small systems will operate over a wide load range, with only brief periods at full power, considerable time at 30–50% of the rated power, and relatively frequent shutoffs and restarts. The lack of an infrastructure for producing and distributing H2 has led to a research effort to develop on-board fuel processing technology for reforming hydrocarbon fuels to generate H2. Existing reforming technology used in large-scale manufacturing operations, such as ammonia synthesis, is cost prohibitive when scaled down to the size of these small systems. Furthermore, these large reforming systems are designed to operate at a constant production rate and with infrequent shutoffs and restarts. In this paper, we provide an overview of the reforming options for generating H2 from hydrocarbon fuels, the development of new reforming catalysts, and the design of fuel processors for these small fuel cell systems.

Unlike precious metal-based catalysts, Pd/ZnO catalysts not only exhibited high activity, but more importantly very low selectivity to CO for methanol steam reforming. Under the conditions examined, the decomposition activity is minimal. The novel function is attributed to the formation of highly structured Pd–Zn alloy at moderate temperatures under mild reducing environments. The current catalytic system was characterized by TPR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H2 chemisorption, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Using non-coated Tyranno SA fiber preforms as reinforcement and impregnation with only allylperhydropolycarbosilane (AHPCS) into the preforms, Tyranno SA/SiC composite (TSA/SiC) with higher density was obtained. While using carbon-coated Tyranno SA fiber preforms, Tyranno SA/C/SiC composite (TSA/C/SiC) with lower density were also fabricated. In this composite, SiC particulate was loaded with polymer precursor (AHPCS) in the first cycle impregnation. Microstructural observation revealed that pore and crack formation was affected by processing conditions. Bending strength was also dependent on the microstructural evolution of the samples. In TSA/SiC composite, relatively strong interfaces contribute to effective load transfer so that higher bending strength could be reached. In the TSA/C/SiC composite, weak interfaces provide a relatively lower strength. Meanwhile, different microstructural evolution and interfacial properties of the composites lead to the variation of the fracture behaviors.

In order for carbon credits to be meaningful, sustained carbon sequestration for decades or longer is required. It has been speculated that improved land management could result in sequestration of a substantial amount of carbon in soils within several decades and therefore can be an important option in reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, evaluation of soil carbon sources and sinks is difficult because the dynamics of soil carbon storage and release is complex and still not well understood. There has been rapid development of quantitative techniques over the past two decades for measuring the component fluxes of the global carbon cycle and for studying the soil carbon cycle. Most significant development in the soil carbon cycle study is the application of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) in radiocarbon measurements. This has made it possible to unravel rates of carbon cycling in soils, by studying natural levels of radiocarbon in soil organic matter and soil CO2. Despite the advances in the study of the soil carbon cycle in the recent decades, tremendous uncertainties exist in the sizes and turnover times of soil carbon pools. The uncertainties result from lack of standard methods and incomplete understanding of soil organic carbon dynamics, compounded by natural variability in soil carbon and carbon isotopic content even within the same ecosystem. Many fundamental questions concerning the dynamics of the soil carbon cycle have yet to be answered. This paper reviews and synthesizes the isotopic approaches to the study of the soil carbon cycle. We will focus on uncertainties and limitations associated with these approaches and point out areas where more research is needed to improve our understanding of this important component of the global carbon cycle.

We calculated insolation maps from digital elevation models, using an insolation model that accounts for atmospheric conditions, elevation, surface orientation, and influences of surrounding topography. Herein, we focus on the application of this insolation model for spatial interpolation of soil temperature measurements over complex topography at landscape scales. Existing interpolation techniques generally apply only at continental or broad regional scales and do not capture the high variation of finer scales. In our field study in the vicinity of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, average soil temperature was correlated with insolation and elevation. Whereas daily minimum temperature was negatively correlated with elevation (r=−0.730, P<0.05), daily temperature change (maximum minus minimum) was positively correlated with daily insolation (r=0.504, P<0.01). We generated daily minimum and maximum soil temperature maps based on regression analyses. Residual variation was explained by factors such as vegetation cover. This application demonstrates the importance of characterizing spatial and temporal variation of insolation for studies of energy and water balance.

The magnet systems considered here are refrigerated by a closed-cycle cryocooler, and liquid cryogens may or may not be used as a cooling medium. For a specific magnet application, the size of required HTS windings could be smaller at a lower temperature, by taking advantage of a greater critical current density of HTS. As the temperature decreases, however, the power input to the cryocooler increases dramatically because of the heavy cooling load and the poor refrigeration performance. Through a rigorous modeling and analysis incorporating the effect of magnet size into the load calculation, it is demonstrated that there exists an optimum for the operating temperature to minimize the power required. The optimal temperature is strongly dependent upon the magnitude of AC loss in the magnets and the assistance of heat interception.

JO - Environmental Geology JF - Environmental Geology Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 43 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 209 EP - 218 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09430105 AB - Natural colloids were generated from zeolitized tuffs from the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and the effects of colloids on the transport of a strongly sorbing metal, lead [Pb(II)], were investigated in column experiments under different geochemical conditions. Because of the high sorption affinity of Pb(II) for zeolitized tuffs, the migration of Pb(II) without colloids was strongly retarded. The presence of mobile colloids, however, enhanced the mobility of Pb(II). Approximately 75–90% of the eluted Pb(II) was transported as a colloid-associated phase. The migration of colloids was closely related to the geochemical conditions in the background solution. Immobilization of colloids increased as the ionic strength of the background electrolyte solution increased, because of double layer compaction. Remobilization of initially deposited colloids occurred when the ionic strength of the background electrolyte solution was reduced. The mobility of colloids increased with increasing pH and increasing flow rates. These results have significant implications for the migration of strongly sorbing radionuclides and other metals at nuclear testing facilities and metal-contaminated sites and are consistent with the hypothesis that inorganic contaminant migration in the subsurface is a function of geochemical conditions.

We present an approach to probing in vivo interactions of pesticide mixtures at relevant tow doses using a monitor compound to report the response of biochemical pathways shared by mixture components. We use accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to quantify [[sup 14]C]-diisopropylfluorophosphate as a tracer at attomole levels with 1-5% precision after coexposures to parathion (PTN), permethrin (PER), and pyridostigmine bromide separately and in conjunction. Pyridostigmine shows an overall protective effect against tracer binding in plasma, red blood cells, muscle, and brain that is not explained as competitive protein binding. PTN and PER induce a significant 25-30% increase in the amount of tracer reaching the brain with or without pyridostigmine. The sensitivity of AMS for isotope-labeled tracer compounds can be used to probe the physiologic responses of specific biochemical pathways to multiple compound exposures.

We examine the distribution of methane and other hydrocarbons within the Valley of Mexico, using it as a model for the role developing megacities will play in the next century of geochemical cycling. Seventy-five whole air samples were analyzed with multivariate statistical techniques, including factor analysis using principal components. Methane concentrations are highly variable in space and time, due to air circulations and source distribution. Landfills and open sewage canals are major inputs. Emissions into and out from the valley are modeled to be ∼515 t per day. Per capita emission is 0.01 t per annum per person, consistent with the global average for human related anaerobic generation. Natural gas leaks are small, and likely to be higher in other developing megacities; Mexican natural gas use has been discouraged out of earthquake safety concerns. In contrast, liquefied petroleum gas loss constitutes the major emission of propane and butane estimated at a leak rate of 5–10%. Kyoto and other environmental conventions have ignored methane as a greenhouse gas. Our analysis underscores the need to consider methane and other hydrocarbons, and the urbanization process, in future emission protocols.

T1 - EFFECT OF ETHANOL AND METHYL-TERT-BUTYL ETHER ON MONOAROMATIC HYDROCARBON BIODEGRADATION: RESPONSE VARIABILITY FOR DIFFERENT AQUIFER MATERIALS UNDER VARIOUS ELECTRON-ACCEPTING CONDITIONS. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 21 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2631 EP - 2639 SN - 07307268 AB - Aquifer microcosms were used to determine how ethanol and Aquifer microcosms (MtBE) affect monoaromatic hydrocarbon degradation under different electron-accepting conditions commonly found in contaminated sites experiencing natural attenuation. Response variability was investigated by using aquifer material from four sites with different exposure history. The lag phase prior to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and ethanol degradation was typically shorter in microcosms with previously contaminated aquifer material, although previous exposure did not always result in high degradation activity. Toluene was degraded in all aquifer materials and generally under a broader range of electron-accepting conditions compared to benzene, which was degraded only under aerobic conditions. The MtBE was not degraded within 100 d under any condition, and it did not affect BTEX or ethanol degradation patterns. Ethanol was often degraded before BTEX compounds and had a variable effect on BTEX degradation as a function of electron-accepting conditions and aquifer material source. An occasional enhancement of toluene degradation by ethanol occurred in denitrifying microcosms with unlimited nitrate; this may be attributable to the fortuitous growth of toluene-degrading bacteria during ethanol degradation. Nevertheless, experiments with flow-through aquifer columns showed that this beneficial effect could be eclipsed by an ethanol-driven depletion of electron acceptors, which significantly inhibited BTEX degradation and is probably the most important mechanism by which ethanol could hinder BTEX natural attenuation. A decrease in natural attenuation could increase the likelihood that BTEX compounds reach a receptor as well as the potential duration of exposure.

The methodology selected for the accelerator application was to measure precisely the temperature rise of a copper target in a vacuum, and to convert the results into energy deposition using the specific heat. Therefore, precise measurements of the specific heat of the copper target were necessary to achieve the required precision and accuracy in the energy deposition measurements for the accelerator application. A pulse-heating technique to measure the specific heat was developed in which electrical square waves were delivered to a surface-mounted heater on the copper target, and the temperature rise of the copper target was measured. The specific heat of the copper was measured from 6 to 8 K and compared to data in the literature. The data were also used to infer the electronic- and lattice-specific-heat coefficients and the Debye temperature for the copper that was used. Comparisons of the data to the specific heat and specific-heat coefficients in the literature are presented. The present technique is shown to be useful for the measurement of the specific heat of good thermal conductors, especially metals at cryogenic temperatures, when very high precision is required.

Three different fuel cell feedstocks were considered for analysis: sour natural gas, sour effluent from a liquid middle distillate fuel processor and a Texaco O2-blown coal-derived synthesis gas. The H2S catalytic partial oxidation reaction, its integratability into fuel cell power plants with different hydrocarbon feedstocks and its salient features are discussed. Experimental results indicate that H2S concentration can be removed down to the part-per-million level in these plants. Additionally, a power law rate expression was developed and reaction kinetics compared to prior literature. The activation energy for this reaction was determined to be 34.4 kJ/g mol with the reaction being first order in H2S and 0.3 order in O2.

In this paper we discuss key issues, for other sources of energy, that could impact fusion energy deployment during the last half of this century. These include geographic issues such as resource availability, scale issues, energy storage requirements and waste issues. The resource needs and waste production associated with fusion deployment in the US should not pose serious problems (Fusion Technology 39 (2001) 513). One important feature of fusion power is the fact that a fusion power plant should be locatable within most local or regional electrical distribution systems. For this reason fusion power plants should not increase the burden of long distance power transmission to our distribution system. In contrast to fusion power, regional factors could play an important role in the deployment of renewable resources such as wind, solar and biomass or fossil energy with CO2 sequestration. We examine the role of these regional factors and their implications for the deployment of these renewables, fossil, and fusion.

However, given the space limitations and the negative public perception of large volumes of waste, there is a growing international motivation to develop a fusion waste management system that maximizes the amount of material that can be cleared or recycled. In this work, we present an updated assessment of the waste management options for the HYLIFE-II inertial fusion energy (IFE) power plant, using the concept of clearance index (CI) for radioactive waste disposal. With that purpose, we have performed a detailed neutronics analysis of the HYLIFE-II design, using the tart and acab computer codes for neutron transport and activation, respectively. Whereas the traditional version of acab only provided the user with the γ contact dose rate for recycling assessments and WDR as an index for waste disposal considerations, here we have modified the code to calculate CIs using the current international atomic energy agency (IAEA) clearance limits for radiological waste disposal. The results from the analysis are used to perform an assessment of the waste management options for the HYLIFE-II IFE design.

The results show that surface electric potential U and MHD pressure drop ΔP exhibit a non-monotonic behavior with increasing V0, while the magnetic field B0 is held constant. Additional experiments were also performed keeping all external experimental conditions fixed while measuring the change of U, V0, B0, and ΔP with increasing time. It was found that while all external experimental conditions were kept constant, the system changed by itself and U, V0 and ΔP exhibited a non-monotonic behavior with increasing time. The results seem contrary to the law of ΔP∝V0B0n, but are consistent with conservation of energy, which implies that the change is due to some inherent feature of the system, or possibly instabilities, which may occur due to insulator coating imperfections.

T1 - FIRE, a next step option for magnetic fusion JO - Fusion Engineering & Design JF - Fusion Engineering & Design Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 63/64 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 531 SN - 09203796 AB - The next major frontier in magnetic fusion physics is to explore and understand the strong non-linear coupling among confinement, MHD stability, self-heating, edge physics and wave-particle interactions that is fundamental to fusion plasma behavior. The Fusion Ignition Research Experiment (FIRE) design study has been undertaken to define the lowest cost facility to attain, explore, understand and optimize magnetically confined fusion-dominated plasmas. FIRE is envisioned as an extension of the existing advanced tokamak (AT) program that could lead to an attractive magnetic fusion reactor. FIRE activities have focused on the physics and engineering assessment of a compact, high-field tokamak with the capability of achieving Q≈10 in the Elmy H-mode for a duration of ∼1.5 plasma current redistribution times (skin times) during an initial burning plasma science phase, and the flexibility to add AT hardware (e.g. lower hybrid current drive) later. The configuration chosen for FIRE is similar to that of ARIES-RS, the US Fusion Power Plant study utilizing an AT reactor. The key ‘AT’ features are: strong plasma shaping, double null pumping divertors, low toroidal field (TF) ripple (<0.3%), internal control coils and space for wall stabilization capabilities. The reference design point is Ro=2.14 m, a=0.595 m, Bt(Ro)=10 T, Ip=7.7 MA with a flat top time of 20 s for 150 MW of fusion power. The baseline magnetic fields and pulse lengths can be provided by wedged BeCu/OFHC TF coils and OFHC poloidal field (PF) coils that are pre-cooled to 80 K prior to the pulse and allowed to warm up to 373 K at the end of the pulse. A longer term goal of FIRE is to explore AT regimes sustained by non-inductive current drive (e.g. lower hybrid current drive) at high fusion gain (Q>5) for a duration of one to three current redistribution times.

Critical issues were addressed and R&D needs were identified. Modest values of nuclear heating occur in the FIRE components. The total nuclear heating in the 16 TF coils during DT shots is 19 MW. The cumulative damage in the copper alloys used is very low (<0.05 dpa). However, issues of low temperature embrittlement and thermal creep at high temperatures need to be resolved by an R&D program. The radiation induced resistivity increase in the conductors of the TF coils is primarily due to displacement damage and is <20% of the unirradiated resistivity. The magnet insulator development R&D program should involve irradiation to dose levels up to 1.5×1010 Rad with the proper mix between neutrons and gamma photons (50% gamma dose) relevant to FIRE conditions. Low levels of activity and decay heat are obtained. Hands-on ex-vessel maintenance is feasible. All components qualify as Class C low-level waste. Activation of nitrogen gas inside the cryostat produces a very small amount of 13N and 14C.

Design work on heavy-ion targets indicates that high gain (60–130) may be possible with a ∼3–6 MJ driver depending on the ability to focus the beams to small spot sizes. Significant improvements have been made on key components of heavy-ion drivers, including sources, injectors, insulators and ferromagnetic materials for long-pulse induction accelerator cells, solid-state pulsers, and superconducting quadrupole magnets. The leading chamber concept for HIF is the thick-liquid-wall HYLIFE-II design, which uses an array of flibe jets to protect chamber structures from X-ray, debris, and neutron damage. Significant progress has been made in demonstrating the ability to create and control the types of flow needed to form the protective liquid blanket. Progress has also been made on neutron shielding for the final focus magnet arrays with predicted lifetimes now exceeding the life of the power plant. Safety analyses have been completed for the HYLIFE-II design using state-of-the-art codes. Work also continues on target fabrication and injection for HIF. A target injector experiment capable of >5 Hz operation has been designed and construction will start in 2002. Methods for mass-production of hohlraum targets are being evaluated with small-scale experiments and analyses. Progress in these areas will be reviewed.

Key issues of the cyclic IFE operation include intense photon and ion deposition, wall thermal and hydrodynamic evolution, wall erosion and fatigue lifetime, and chamber clearing and evacuation to ensure desirable conditions prior to next target implosion. Several methods for wall protection have been proposed in the past, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. These methods include use of solid bare walls, gas-filled cavities, and liquid walls/jets. Detailed models have been developed for reflected laser light, emitted photons, and target debris deposition and interaction with chamber components and have been implemented in the comprehensive HEIGHTS software package. The focus of this study is to critically assess the reliability and the dynamic response of chamber walls in IFE systems. Of particular concern is the effect on wall erosion lifetime due to various erosion mechanisms, such as vaporization, chemical and physical sputtering, melt/liquid splashing and explosive erosion, and fragmentation of liquid walls.

In the case of a fast ignition inertial fusion system, advanced targets have been proposed that may be self-sufficient in terms of tritium breeding (i.e. the amount of tritium bred in target exceeds the amount burned). This aspect allows for greater freedom when selecting a liquid for the protective blanket, given that lithium-bearing compounds are no longer required. Materials selection may now be based upon other characteristics, such as safety and environmental (S&E), pumping power, corrosion, and vapor pressure, along with others. The present work assesses the characteristics of many single, binary, and ternary molten-salts and liquid metals using the NIST Properties of Molten Salts Database. As an initial screening, liquids were evaluated for their S&E characteristics, which included an assessment of waste disposal rating (WDR), contact dose, and radioactive afterheat. Liquids that passed the S&E criteria were then evaluated for required pumping power. The pumping power was calculated using three components: velocity head losses, frictional losses, and lifting power. The results of the assessment are used to identify those materials that are suitable for potential liquid-chamber fast-ignition IFE concepts, from both the S&E and pumping power perspective. Recommendations for further analysis are also made.

Screening tests were performed to evaluate different fibre types with the objective of identifying systems offering the greatest improvement in cement tensile strength. The fibres investigated included steel, stainless steel, carbon, basalt and glass. The baseline cement matrix was standard Class G cement/40% silica flour and variations on this were latex-modification and lightweight formulations incorporating either perlite or microspheres. The fibres that showed the best performance at low volume fraction were 13 mm brass-coated round steel fibres. Steel and carbon microfibres also improved the tensile strength provided the volume fraction was high enough. Thermal and hydraulic properties of cements reinforced with steel fibres were measured and compared with unreinforced mixes. Based on the results, selected fibre types will be used in further property characterization studies and engineering analysis of geothermal wells completed with fibre-reinforced materials.

T1 - Structural analysis of geothermal well cements JO - Geothermics JF - Geothermics Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 31 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 657 SN - 03756505 AB - Current design procedures are deficient when it comes to the cement/sealant used in geothermal well cementing jobs. The structural performance of the cement is based on the requirement that the cement must have a certain compressive strength. By calculating the response of the cement due to pressure/temperature (P/T) loads, the relevant stress fields are found to be sensitive to a variety of parameters in such a way that they cannot be enveloped solely by the compressive strength of the material. A similar concern also exists in the oil and gas industry. This paper presents a variety of modeling approaches that can be used to perform the necessary structural analysis from which the stress field in the cement can be evaluated. It is recommended that the design of the cement be based on the results from such structural analysis rather than on the basis of the limited requirement for compressive strength. The paper also presents parametric variations of the radial and tangential stresses in the cement that were obtained through coupled analyses of casing-cement-formation models. It is shown that the state of stress in the cement is very sensitive to (a) far-field stress and (b) the relative stiffness between the cement and the formation.

The cut-off wavelength increases from 150 μm (65 cm−1) to 200 μm (50 cm−1) with increasing bias. The responsivity at long wavelengths was lower than expected. This can be explained by considering the observed Sb diffusion profile in a transition region between the blocking layer and active layer. BIB modeling is presented which indicates that this Sb concentration profile increases the electric field in the transition region and reduces the field in the blocking layer. The depletion region consists partially of the transition region between the active and blocking layer, which could contribute to the reduced long wavelength response. The field spike at the interface is the likely cause of breakdown at a lower bias than expected.

These simulations account for the influence of the precursor ion mass-to-charge ratio, acceleration potential, nature of the collision gas and the number of collisions experienced by the ion on the efficiency of ion dissociation. Evolution of the translational and internal energies of activated precursor ions along the collision cell was simulated using the hard-sphere and the diffuse scattering models. Dissociation rate constants and ion survival probability were calculated based on the estimated internal energy content of the excited ion. It was found that dissociation of the precursor ion could occur anywhere in the collision cell provided there is enough gain of relative internal energy accumulated during collisions. Simulated dissociation curves are in a good agreement with experimental results obtained for different collision gases at different pressures. Monte Carlo simulations of collision events modeled by the hard-sphere and diffuse scattering approximations resulted in different dynamics of precursor ion dissociation. Comparison of Monte Carlo simulations with results obtained using the previously proposed collision model showed a good correlation between the integral results obtained using these two approaches over a variety of experimental parameters. However, in contrast to the collision model, Monte Carlo simulations allow to obtain detailed information on the dynamics of ion dissociation in the collision cell. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulations provided a first insight into collisionally activated dissociation of the precursor ion under unfolding conditions including realistic increase in collision cross section during ion passage through the collision cell.

The very low energy X-rays used in screening mammography (26-30 kVp) are expected to be more hazardous, per unit dose, than high-energy X- or γ-rays, such as those to which A-bomb survivors (from which radiation risk estimates are derived) were exposed. Based on in vitro studies using oncogenic transformation and chromosome aberration end-points, as well as theoretical estimates, it seems likely that low doses of low-energy X-rays produce an increased risk per unit dose (compared with high energy photons) of about a factor of 2. Because of the low doses involved in screening mammography, the benefit-risk ratio for older women would still be expected to be large, though for younger women the increase in the estimated radiation risk suggests a somewhat later age than currently recommended—by about 5-10 years—at which to commence routine breast screening.

Tensile tests were conducted from 25 to 1100 °C and creep tests were conducted from 500 to 1171 °C. The allowable long-term stress intensity for T-111 was found to be about 180 MPa up to 850 °C; at higher temperatures the allowable stress intensity must be reduced because of creep. However, a single creep mechanism cannot predict creep rate over the entire temperature range of this study.

The white sturgeon has a unique life history that includes a life span of 80+ years, age at first reproduction of >13 years, and a spawning interval of >3 years. A bioenergetics model was developed to investigate the effects of temperature on A. transmontanus growth and reproduction among Snake River reaches. This model is unlike most bioenergetics models, because it incorporates both gonadal and somatic compartments for growth. The model tracks daily allocation of calories consumed by a female sturgeon exposed to different temperature regimes for any portion or the entirety of its lifespan. Excess energy is partitioned between gonadal and somatic growth depending on environmental cues, energy condition, age, and other factors. In addition to change in weight, the model output includes growth in length, condition factor, gonadal somatic index, spawning interval, timing of spawning, and fecundity. Simulations revealed a significant difference in the potential for growth and reproduction among Snake River reaches due to temperature variations. The model predicted that small increases in temperature can slow growth, increase the spawning interval, and reduce lifetime egg production. Further model development should include additional among-reach differences such as food availability and other water quality parameters that might affect growth and reproductive output.

These developments are reviewed briefly, but then the question arises—what about today and tomorrow? Have we exhausted luminescence phenomena and the periodic table in our search for improved scintillator materials? Properties of both intrinsic and activated scintillator materials, crystalline and amphorous, are considered. Several fundamental limits of scintillator performance are examined together with the prospects for discovering better scintillators guided by first-principles theoretical calculations of the processes active in scintillation.

During the PISEMA evolution period, the exact Hartmann–Hahn match condition (i.e., Δ=0) yields a maximum dipolar scaling factor of 0.816 for PISEMA experiments, while any mismatch results in two different effective fields for the first and second half of each frequency switched Lee–Goldburg (FSLG) cycle. The mismatch effect on the scaling factor depends strongly on the transition angle from one effective field to the other within each FSLG cycle as well as on the cycle time. At low RF spin-lock amplitudes in which the FSLG cycle time is relatively long, the scaling factor rapidly becomes smaller as ω1S becomes greater than ωeff. On the other hand, when ω1S<ωeff, there is relatively little effect on the scaling factor with variation in Δ. As a result, the presence of RF inhomogeneities may significantly broaden the line-width in the dipolar dimension because of the mismatch effect. Higher RF spin-lock amplitudes result in a relatively small variation for the scaling factor. Furthermore, ramped amplitude of the 15N RF spin-lock field in synchronization with the flip-flop of the FSLG sequence minimizes the transition angle between the two effective fields within the FSLG cycle. It is shown experimentally that such a ramped amplitude not only gives rise to the same scaling factor but also results in a narrower dipolar line-width in comparison with the rectangular amplitude.

This system is based on a fiber coupled multiple laser diode array capable of producing an unprecedented 210 W of circularly polarized light at the pumping cell with a laser line width of 1.6 nm. The 129Xe nuclear spin polarization is measured as a function of flow rate, pumping cell pressure, and laser power for varying pumping gas compositions. A maximum 129Xe nuclear polarization of 67% was achieved using a 0.6% Xe mixture at a Xe flow rate of 2.45 sccm. The ability to generate 12% polarized 129Xe at rates in excess of 1 L-atm/h is also demonstrated. To achieve production of 129Xe gas at even higher polarization will rely on further optimization of the pumping cell and laser beam geometries in order to mitigate problems associated with temperature gradients that are encountered at high laser power and Rb density.

Phase noise refers to the variation in the phases of NMR signals from successive acquisitions due to an unstable applied field. Such a situation exists in high-field resistive Bitter magnets and, for sufficiently long timescales, can cause serious signal degradation upon signal averaging. An inductive shield, formed by a highly conducting metal tube placed around the sample and along the applied field, provides screening of the AC components of the applied field and thereby retains phase coherence over long periods. Although simple in principle there are technical difficulties for practical implementation of this method. We present demonstrations of the utility of this approach. In particular, we show a significant extension of the effective transverse coherence time of the 13C resonance in doubly 13C-labeled glycerol in a resistive Bitter magnet. This was accomplished through the use of a highly conducting aluminum shield, cooled to 4 K with liquid helium.

The new sequence (RIDE’n RIPT) combines features of ring down elimination (RIDE), the most common difference-spectroscopy sequence for acoustic-ringing compensation, with the advantages of RIPT for fast acquisition of magnetization profiles in B1 field gradients. For even greater time efficiency in many experiments, the two transients of RIDE’n RIPT are combined to a single transient in which data for the difference spectroscopy are collected sequentially. RIDE’n RIPT was used to record one-dimensional profiles of the proton magnetization in supercritical fluid samples of methane in carbon dioxide. The profiles showed substantial improvements over profiles obtained from standard RIPT. To withstand the high pressures required for the supercritical carbon dioxide mixtures, a toroid cavity autoclave (TCA) was used as the NMR resonator and pressure vessel. The well-defined, strong, and nonuniform B1 field of the TCA was used to resolve distances along the radial dimension.

The three adducts CIS1, CIS2, and CIS3 are characterized by a pyrrolidinic ring and an isoxazolinic ring in position cis1-O, cis2-C, and cis3-C, respectively; the two rings are connected by a methylenic chain. In the X-band spectra of CIS1, one species has been observed showing hyperfine coupling constants with the pyrrolidinic nitrogen and 13C nuclei, whereas in the X-band spectra of CIS2 and CIS3 more species are apparent, some with and other without hyperfine coupling with the pyrrolidinic 14N. High field spectra at 110 and 220 GHz for all the bisadducts have been obtained; in all the cases, more species are evident with small differences in the g-factors. The occurrence of more species are discussed and put in relation with different bisadduct conformations. Furthermore, on the basis of the mechanism proposed for the 14N hcc in previously studied fulleropyrrolidine (FP) monoanions, the presence or absence of 14N hcc for CIS1 and the different conformations of CIS2 and CIS3 is discussed. The temperature dependence of the EPR linewidths and the g-factors of all the species have been determined and discussed in term of the different structural stiffness and symmetry of the three bisadducts.

A comparative analysis of the strains caused by syneresis and expansion of the fluid, respectively, suggests that the latter is the dominant effect for this process. Experimental results indicate that the rate of leakage from the mold is equal to the rate of volumetric expansion of the fluid, so this was used as the boundary condition for the calculation. An analytical solution is obtained for the strain produced in a purely elastic gel. The strain is found to develop most rapidly at high temperatures, where the thermal expansion of the fluid increases sharply. The model predicts a temperature dependent heating rate that can be used to avoid irreversible strains by compensating for the increase in thermal expansion coefficient.

The glass transition temperature (Tg) decreases with the initial addition of Cs2O to P2O5, from 637 K at x=0 to 472 K at x=0.16. There is little change in Tg with further additions of Cs2O up to x=0.60. The 31P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectra show that Cs2O additions systematically convert the cross-linked ultraphosphate network of ν-P2O5 to a chain-like metaphosphate structure as x approaches 0.50. The 133Cs MAS NMR spectra show a 90 ppm increase in isotropic chemical shift (δiso) with increasing Cs2O content, which indicates a decrease in the average electron density around the Cs+ ions, more covalent Cs–O bonding, and a shorter average Cs–O bond length. The physical properties and spectroscopic results are interpreted using a structural model that considers the effects of composition on the average coordination environment of Cs+ ions.

The objective of many experiments on zirconia has been to test the susceptibility of this material to amorphization. Because zirconia exhibits high radiation tolerance, this has made very high fluence ion irradiation experiments a necessity and so, additional irradiation-induced effects such as surface sputtering become important. In this paper, we present results from 340 keV Xe++ irradiations of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) to fluences ranging from 1×1015 to 1.5×1021 ions/m2. No amorphization of YSZ was observed after irradiation to even the highest ion fluence. To assess sputtering effects at high fluence, an analytical model was developed, using ion range and damage distributions calculated using Monte Carlo simulations for ion–solid interactions. Analysis results and experimental data revealed that at high fluences, the implanted ion and damage distribution profiles are significantly modified by sputtering.

Damage accumulation and evolution were analyzed using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy combined with ion channeling analysis, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. TiO2 crystals were found to exhibit a layer-like damage structure after irradiation, with up to three characteristic layers: (1) a thin surface layer denuded of defects; (2) a second layer centered at the peak damage position, consisting of small voids about 1–3 nm in diameter; and (3) a third, deeper layer consisting of large defects such as dislocations and dislocation loops. The defect-denuded layer at the surface results from point defect diffusion and annealing. The voids in the second layer may be attributed to aggregation of vacancies. Point defect migration and precipitation is also responsible for the large defects observed in the deepest layer within the irradiated microstructure. Amorphization was not observed in the crystals irradiated at this high temperature.

Under impact of fission fragments, it becomes amorphous. During reactor irradiation, crystalline and amorphous spinel are expected in the fuel, containing, among others xenon and helium. Gas-release measurements and positron beam analysis (PBA) were performed on amorphized specimens and compared to results on crystalline spinel. Helium was released in two stages between 575 and 800 K in first-order desorption processes with activation enthalpies of 1.9 and 2.7 eV and attempt frequencies of about 1013 s1. Xenon was released between 1050 and 1450 K. PBA experiments indicated that defect clustering occurred near the surface at low temperatures and in deeper regions at about 950–1200 K. Recrystallization was observed between 1000 and 1350 K and defect annealing was completed at 1600 K. PBA indicates two different damage zones, corresponding to displacement zones with and without xenon.

The plane group symmetry of six experimental diffraction patterns showed that the structure of this phase was at least body-centered orthorhombic. Simulated diffraction patterns, generated from the body-centered tetragonal structure of ζ Pu6Fe with the space group I4/mcm, match the experimental diffraction patterns closely. These results present the first crystallographic evidence for the existence of ζ Pu6Fe in a dilute Pu–Ga alloy. The Pu/Fe ratio of the phase yielded by EDXS was 12.5 at.% and the Pu/(Fe + Ni) ratio was 15.9 at.%. These results suggest that Ni substitutes for Fe in the ζ, Pu6Fe lattice.

It is shown for the first time that a high helium generation rate in the alloy, due to boron introduced into the alloy in the capacity of deoxidizer, results in high-rate swelling of GlidCop Al25 IG of about 1%/dpa at 300 °C. It is shown that the average size of Al2O3 particles reduces under irradiation. The conclusion is made that the application of elements with high cross-sections of helium generation as deoxidizers can result in a substantial decrease of the resistance to swelling of copper alloys for fusion applications.

We find that at low temperatures the coherent weight zA at (π,0) is proportional to the carrier concentration x and that the temperature-dependence of zA is similar to that of the c-axis superfluid density. We show that, for a wide range of carrier concentration, the superconducting transition temperature scales with the product of the low-temperature coherent weight and the maximum superconducting gap.

Some recent results aimed at understanding the effects of the energy and polarization dependencies of the ARPES matrix element are presented. The nature of the Fermi surface (FS) maps obtained via ARPES by holding the initial state energy fixed at the Fermi energy (EF) is clarified. The theoretically predicted FS map at 21 eV photon energy displays a remarkable level of agreement with the corresponding ARPES spectrum taken over a large area of the (kx,ky) plane. Our analysis shows how the ARPES matrix element can help disentangle closely spaced energy levels and FS sheets and highlight different aspects of the electronic spectrum in complex materials under various experimental conditions.

Experimentally, the echo decay undergoes a crossover from Gaussian to exponential form below the temperature where the Cu NMR intensity drops. The wipeout and the change in behavior both arise because the nuclei experience spatially inhomogeneous spin fluctuations at low temperatures. We argue that regions where the spin fluctuations remain fast are localized on length scales of order 1–2 lattice spacings. The inhomogeneity is characterized by the local activation energy Ea(r); we estimate the functional form of Ea(r) for points where Ea>(r)∼0.

We briefly review their properties. Electronic Raman scattering results are presented on YNi2B2C containing 11B or 10B. In A1g and B1g Raman symmetries, there is no shift in the position of the ‘2Δ’ peak with B-isotope. There is a distinct negative shift, however, in B2g symmetry. This is interpreted as a negative isotope shift for the gap Δ on that portion of the Fermi surface where the magnitude of the B2g Raman vertex is large.

We consider an array of Josephson coupled, spin gapped one dimensional electron gases as a model of the high temperature superconductors. For temperatures above Tc, this system exhibits electron fractionalization, yielding a single particle spectral response which is sharp as a function of momentum, but broad as a function of energy. For temperatures below the spin gap but above Tc, there are enhanced one-dimensional superconducting fluctuations and pseudogap phenomena. Pair tunneling induces a crossover to three-dimensional physics as Tc is approached. Below Tc, solitons are confined in multiplets with quantum numbers which are simply related to the electron, and a coherent piece of the single particle spectral function appears. The weight of this coherent piece vanishes in the neighborhood of Tc in proportion to a positive power of the interchain superfluid density. This behavior is highly reminiscent of recent ARPES measurements on the high temperature superconductors.

The strong conductance peaks in the superconducting state reveal a single gap consistent with d-wave symmetry. In addition, sharp dips are observed at a voltage, Ω/e, measured with respect to the gap edge. These features are shown to be reproduced in other junction types from the literature including atomically resolved STM and c-axis mesas, establishing their intrinsic character. Trends are observed with doping and temperature which link the dip to the resonance spin excitation and indicate that the quasiparticles are strongly coupled to this mode.

In heavily overdoped samples where the splitting is the clearest, we extract an intracell coupling t⊥∼55 meV. As a function of photon energy the intensity ratio of the bonding and antibonding bands varies, allowing us to detect the bilayer splitting effect in the optimal and underdoped regimes. Surprisingly, with reduced doping the intracell coupling is not measurably reduced. Upon cooling to the superconducting state, a gap Δ opens in both bands yet the magnitude of the splitting remains unchanged.

As an example of the method, plasma electron number density and temperature are extracted from the analysis of X-ray spectral data recorded in an Ar-doped inertial-confinement-fusion core. For the study of a sequence of gradually changing spectra, a combination of genetic algorithms and case-based reasoning that learns from experience is used to accelerate the analysis.

The collinear Mn spins suffer a thermally driven reorientation transition close to the Curie temperature, as obtained from powder samples (using neutron diffraction) and from thin films [using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)]. The reorientation transition may indicate the presence of local Jahn–Teller (JT) lattice distortions, which are prevented from developing with long-range order in the R3¯c crystal structure.

A solution deposition process was used to grow epitaxial Tb2O3 buffer layers on the Ni tapes for YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) coated conductors. The Tb2O3 precursor solution was prepared using solvent, chelating agents and modifying chemical liquid materials. The solution was dip-coated onto the textured Ni substrates by a reel-to-reel sol–gel process. The amorphous thin films were dried at 300 °C for 30 s and then heat-treated at 500 °C for 2 min in air in the reel-to-reel sol–gel set up with a 3-zones furnace. The calcined films were annealed at temperature range of 750 and 1170 °C for 10–30 min under three different atmospheres. X-ray diffraction of the buffer layers indicated a strong c-axis orientation on the Ni tape substrate. The textured buffer layers were produced onto the textured Ni tapes at 1150 °C for 10 min under 4% H2–Ar gas flow thereby using modifying triethanol amin. Environment scanning electron microscopy images of the Tb2O3 buffer layer showed crack-free, pinhole-free, dense and smooth microstructure.

As a response to these needs, Fermilab has developed several families of radiation monitoring instruments intended for use under beam-on conditions.

The configuration we consider consists of an undulator providing an on axis field oscillating in both transverse directions, with relatively integer multiple spatial periods. We discuss the spectral properties of the radiation emitted by relativistic electrons crossing this undulator and derive the equations describing the free electron laser evolution. We show that a device, exploiting such an undulator configuration, is a fairly useful tool to obtain simultaneous laser power at different harmonics. The analysis of the system evolution is achieved with two different simulation codes.

ACT uses a collimated external source and a HPGe detector to measure selected mono-energetic gamma-rays that are attenuated by waste-drum contents; a separate PCT measurement uses the HPGe detector to record the spectra of gamma-rays emitted from within a drum. The ACT attenuation images and the PCT emission spectra are coupled to quantitatively assay drum contents for ∼0.1–200 g of TRU isotopes. Calibration requires a single measurement of a known radioactive standard; construction of waste-drum surrogates is not required. Fixed and mobile systems demonstrated compliance with a DOE quality assurance program via several independent blind tests.

The proton/target interactions involved low-intensity bunches of protons at 24 GeV/c onto a spherical target consisting of concentric shells of tungsten and copper. The energy-deposition target was placed at five locations downstream of the proton-radiography target, off-axis of the primary beam transport, and was either unshielded or shielded by 5 or 10 cm of lead. Maximum temperature rises measured in the energy-deposition target due to single bunches of 5×1010 protons on the proton-radiography target were approximately 20 mK per bunch. The data indicated that the scattered radiation was concentrated close to the primary transport axis of the beam line. The energy deposited in the energy-deposition target was reduced by moving the target radially away from the primary transport axis. Placing lead shielding in front of the target further reduced the energy deposition. The measured temperature rises of the energy-deposition target were empirically correlated with the distance from the source, the number of protons incident on the proton-radiography target, the thickness of the lead shielding, and the angle of the energy-deposition target off-axis of the beam line from the proton-radiography target. The correlation of the experimental data that was developed provides a starting point for the evaluation of the shielding requirements for devices downstream of proton-radiography targets such as superconducting magnets.

Powder X-ray diffraction studies show that only the α polymorph is formed, regardless of the growth conditions. By contrast, the film morphology depends specifically upon the deposition parameters, the observed crystal size increasing with growth temperature or after post-growth annealing. The spectroscopic properties (electronic absorption, fluorescence excitation and emission) are also found to be influenced by heat treatment and these are correlated with the changing crystal size in the PTCDA films. A qualitative model is presented in order to account for the photophysical properties of the films.

This paper discusses recent work on building component interfaces and implementations in parallel numerical toolkits for mesh manipulations, discretization, linear algebra, and optimization. We consider several motivating applications involving partial differential equations and unconstrained minimization to demonstrate this approach and evaluate performance.

CheMin, an XRD/XRF instrument that is currently under development, could provide a definitive test of whether the polar hydrogen signal measured by the recent Lunar Prospector mission is an indication of a significant water reservoir or merely reflects an anomalously rich accumulation of solar-wind hydrogen. Proposed enhancements of CheMin could be used in conjunction with a drilling system capable of penetrating the upper few tens of centimeters of the lunar regolith to search for ices or hydrous minerals. This advanced version of the CheMin instrument would be within the size, mass, and power constraints of Ariane 5 micromissions.

Therefore, long-term (15–36-years) effects of six cropland management systems on soil organic carbon (SOC) pool in 0–30 cm depth were studied for the period of 1939–1999 at the North Appalachian Experimental Watersheds (<3 ha, Dystric Cambisol, Haplic Luvisol, and Haplic Alisol) near Coshocton, OH, USA. Six management treatments were: (1) no tillage continuous corn with NPK (NC); (2) no tillage continuous corn with NPK and manure (NTC-M); (3) no tillage corn–soybean rotation (NTR); (4) chisel tillage corn–soybean rotation (CTR); (5) moldboard tillage with corn–wheat–meadow–meadow rotation with improved practices (MTR-I); (6) moldboard tillage with corn–wheat–meadow–meadow rotation with prevalent practices (MTR-P). The SOC pool ranged from 24.5 Mg ha−1 in the 32-years moldboard tillage corn (Zea mays L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–meadow–meadow rotation with straight row farming and annual application of fertilizer (N:P:K=5:9:17) of 56–112 kg ha−1 and cattle (Bos taurus) manure of 9 Mg ha−1 as the prevalent system (MTR-P) to 65.5 Mg ha−1 in the 36-years no tillage continuous corn with contour row farming and annual application of 170–225 kg N ha−1 and appropriate amounts of P and K, and 6–11 Mg ha−1 of cattle manure as the improved system (NTC-M). The difference in SOC pool among management systems ranged from 2.4 to 41 Mg ha−1 and was greater than 25 Mg ha−1 between NTC-M and the other five management systems. The difference in the SOC pool of NTC-M and that of no tillage continuous corn (NTC) were 16–21 Mg ha−1 higher at the lower slope position than at the middle and upper slope positions. The effect of slope positions on SOC pools of the other management systems was significantly less (<5 Mg ha−1). The effects of manure application, tillage, crop rotation, fertilizer rate, and soil and water conservation farming on SOC pool were accumulative. The NTC-M treatment with application of NPK fertilizer, lime, and cattle manure is an effective cropland management system for SOC sequestration.

JO - Studies in Conservation JF - Studies in Conservation Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 47 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 250 EP - 256 SN - 00393630 AB - This study investigates a common pigment degradation process, the darkening of lead white by its conversion to lead sulphide (PbS), that is often assumed to have taken place before restoration treatments are applied. For the first time, Raman spectra similar to those obtained from mineral galena (PbS) have been acquired directly from the surface of a manuscript illumination suffering from lead white discoloration. These data, which were collected using a new generation, highly sensitive Raman microscope, indicate that previously published Raman spectra of PbS on historical materials were the result of laser-induced degradation of that material during the analysis. This new instrumentation can be used routinely for the situ, non-destructive identification of lead white degradation products prior to restoration treatments and provides a means of studying the effects of conservation treatments on artists' materials. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Este estudio trata el proceso de degradación de un pigmento común: el oscurecimiento del blanco de plomo a sulfuro de plomo (PbS), del que se asume habitualmente que tiene lugar antes de que sea aplicado tratamiento de restauración alguno. Por primera vez espectros Raman similares a los que se obtienen para el mineral galena (PbS) han sido obtenidos directamente de la superficie de un manuscrito iluminado que sufría la mencionada típica decoloración del blanco de plomo. Estos datos, que fueron tomados usando un microscopio de nueva generación Raman de alta sensibilidad, indican que los espectros Raman previamente publicados de PbS analizando materiales históricos eran el resultado de la degradación en ese material inducida por láser durante los análisis. Esta nueva generación puede ser usada de manera rutinaria in situ, obteniéndose una identificación no destructiva de los productos de degradación del blanco de plomo anteriores a los procesos de restauración; nos aporta además medios de estudio de los efectos de los tratamientos de conservación en los materiales para artistas.

Erstmals konnten Ramanspektren, die mit denen von mineralischem Galenit (PbS) übereinstimmen, direkt auf der Oberfläche einer Bleiweißverschwärzungen aufweisenden Buchmalerei erhalten werden. Die Spektren konnten mit Hilfe eines einer neuen Generation angehörenden, hochempfindlichen Raman-Mikroskops aufgenommen werden. Die Daten legenden Schluß nahe, daß die bisher auf historischem Material erhaltenen Ramanspektren von PbS ein Produkt des laserinduzierten Abbaus des Materials während der Analyse waren. Das neue Instrumentarium kann zur Zerstörungsfreien in situ Identifizierung der Abbauprodukte von Bleiweiß genutzt werden, wie sie vor einer Restaurierung vorliegen. Es erlaubt daher Aussagen über die Effekte von Konservierungsmaßnahmen an Künstlermaterialien.

One experiment (Experiment 1) encouraged evaporation and resulting mineral precipitation, while the other (Experiment 2) was designed to minimize these processes. In both cases, processes acting within the fracture network controlled early time behavior, forming discrete pathways and demonstrating fractures to act as both flow conductors and capillary barriers. At a later time, evaporation-mineral precipitation in Experiment 1 constrained flow, strengthening some pathways and starving others. In Experiment 2, the wetted structure took on the appearance of a diffuse plume; however, individual pathways persisted within the wetted structure and interacted, displaying erratic outflow over a wide range of timescales, including switching between pathways. Thus, under conditions of constant supply and both with and without evaporation-mineral precipitation, unsaturated flow through fractured rock can create dynamic preferential pathways.

For this geometry, head cut migration can occur as a series of discrete mass failures of the surface layer caused by undercutting in a plunge pool formed immediately downstream. The length scale of one failure episode is modeled as a cantilevered slab failing in bending. The timescale for each failure episode is controlled by the rate and geometry of base layer scour, which is modeled independently of cantilevered slab properties. An integration of the two model components for the case of steady flow and uniform soil properties predicts linear upstream head cut migration with time, occurring in discrete steps bounded by successive mass failure events. The model is calibrated and tested in a series of flume experiments representing ideal conditions of different initial geometries and flow conditions. Head cut migration occurred by the proposed mechanism in a nearly linear rate. Average error between the observed and predicted retreat rate is 40%, most of this error is attributable to prediction of the scour hole shape.

A particular challenge for such a model is reproducing both observed matric potential and chloride profiles. We propose a conceptual model for flow in desert vadose zones that includes isothermal and nonisothermal vapor transport and the role of desert vegetation in supporting a net upward moisture flux below the root zone. Numerical simulations incorporating this conceptual model match typical matric potential and chloride profiles. The modeling approach thereby reconciles the paradox between the recognized importance of plants, upward driving forces, and vapor flow processes in desert vadose zones and the inadequacy of the downward-only liquid flow assumption of the conventional chloride mass balance approach. Our work shows that water transport in thick desert vadose zones at steady state is usually dominated by upward vapor flow and that long response times, of the order of 104-105 years, are required to equilibrate to existing arid surface conditions. Simulation results indicate that most thick desert vadose zones have been locked in slow drying transients that began in response to a climate shift and establishment of desert vegetation many thousands of years ago.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 38 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 45-1 EP - 45-12 SN - 00431397 AB - Experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the accuracy and precision of moisture content estimates derived from cross-borehole ground penetrating radar (XBGPR) measurements made within the vadose zone. Both numerical simulations and field data demonstrate that although a certain amount of image smearing occurs under ideal conditions the general trends in the spatial variation of the moisture content can be estimated by a simple empirical transformation from images of electromagnetic (EM) wave velocity. The field results are verified by comparing the radar-derived images of volumetric moisture content to neutron log derived values. When an appropriate site-specific conversion from radar wave velocity to moisture content is applied, a root mean square (RMS) error of 2.0-3.1% volumetric moisture content exists between the two sets. Further comparison of the two different data sets along with analysis of plots of the ray density through each cell indicates that regions of high moisture content are better resolved than regions of low moisture and that most of the discrepancy between radar-derived and neutron-derived moisture contents occurs in regions of high moisture content. Better spatial resolution can be provided if dense station spacing is used. However, the amount of extra time required to acquire the extra data may limit the usefulness of the method. Repeatability measurements made with five data sets demonstrate that the precision error of the data acquisition system employed averages about 0.54 ns, which translates to about a 0.5% error in moisture content estimation.

The tracer transport equations in the nonflowing matrix account for (1) diffusion, (2) surface diffusion, (3) mass transfer between mobile and immobile water fractions, (4) linear kinetic or equilibrium physical, chemical, or combined sorption or colloid filtration, and (5) radioactive decay or first-order chemical reactions. The tracer transport equations in the fractures account for the same processes, in addition to advection and hydrodynamic dispersion. Any number of radioactive decay daughter products (or products of a linear, first-order reaction chain) can be tracked. The solutions, which are analytical in the Laplace space, are numerically inverted to provide the solution in time and can accommodate any number of fractured and/or porous layers. The solutions are verified using analytical and numerical solutions for limiting cases of solute and colloid transport through fractured and porous media. The effect of important parameters on the transport of 3H, 99Tc, 237Np, and 239Pu (and its daughters) is investigated in several test problems involving layered geological systems of varying complexity.

For this analysis we simulate tension infiltrometer measurements in a series of idealized realities, each consisting of spatially correlated random property fields. We consider only simple measurement errors that can be easily modeled. We show that estimated hydraulic properties are strongly biased by small, simple observation and inversion model errors. This bias can lead to order-of-magnitude errors in spatial statistics and artificial cross correlation between measured properties. The magnitude of bias varies with the true mean of the property field, the type of error considered, and the type of spatial statistic. We find no unique indicators of bias as property values may appear reasonable and spatial statistics may look realistic. Our results suggest new concerns for geostatisticians, stochastic modelers, and unsaturated zone practitioners who are unaware of the potential impact of spatial bias in field-estimated properties.

In this paper, we evaluate the complexity of these behaviors using information entropy. We create an empirical probability distribution function directly from a data set, then apply Shannon's definition of information entropy to quantify the complexity of the data. As an example, we use information entropy to evaluate the temporal and spatial complexity of simulated flow processes invoked by infiltration into heterogeneous porous media. Our analysis shows that the complexity of this unsaturated flow process depends on both geologic heterogeneity and uncertainty arising from the flow dynamics. Finally, we investigate the marginal value of additional data collection using randomly selected 'virtual wells.' These calculations demonstrate that computed information entropy increases with additional virtual wells, but the rate of increase declines.

T1 - Biometric and eddy-covariance based estimates of annual carbon storage in five eastern North American deciduous forests JO - Agricultural & Forest Meteorology JF - Agricultural & Forest Meteorology Y1 - 2002/12/02/ VL - 113 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 3 SN - 01681923 AB - Quantifying net carbon (C) storage by forests is a necessary step in the validation of carbon sequestration estimates and in assessing the possible role of these ecosystems in offsetting fossil fuel emissions. In eastern North America, five sites were established in deciduous forests to provide measurements of net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) using micro-meteorological methods, and measures of major carbon pools and fluxes, using a combination of forest mensurational, eco-physiological, and other biometric methods. The five study sites, part of the AmeriFlux network, ranged across 10° of latitude and 18° of longitude, but were all of similar age, canopy height, and stand basal area. Here we present a cross-site synthesis of annual carbon storage estimates, comparing meteorological and biometric approaches, and also comparing biometric estimates based on analyses of autotrophic carbon pools and heterotrophic carbon fluxes (net ecosystem production, NEP) versus those based on measurements of change in two major carbon pools (ΔC). Annual above-ground net primary production (ANPP) varied nearly two-fold among sites and was strongly correlated with average annual temperature and with annual soil nitrogen mineralization (Nmin). Estimates of NEP ranged from 0.7 Mg C per hectare per year in northern lower Michigan to 3.5 Mg C per hectare per year in central Indiana, and were also well correlated with Nmin. There was less variation among sites in estimates of ΔC (range, 1.8–3.2 Mg C per hectare per year). In general, ΔC more closely matched NEE than did NEP, but there was no systematic pattern among sites in over- versus under-estimation of the biometric compared to the meteorologically based measures. Root and soil carbon dynamics were significant sources of uncertainty in our biometric measures and represent a prerequisite area of study needed for accurate estimates of forest carbon storage.

T1 - Belowground carbon allocation in forests estimated from litterfall and IRGA-based soil respiration measurements JO - Agricultural & Forest Meteorology JF - Agricultural & Forest Meteorology Y1 - 2002/12/02/ VL - 113 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 39 SN - 01681923 AB - Allocation of C to belowground plant structures is one of the most important, yet least well quantified fluxes of C in terrestrial ecosystems. In a literature review of mature forests worldwide, suggested that total belowground carbon allocation (TBCA) could be estimated from the difference between annual rates of soil respiration and aboveground litterfall. Here we analyze new measurements of soil respiration and litterfall, including data from the Ameriflux network. Our results generally agree with Raich and Nadelhoffer’s previous work. A regression analysis of data from mature forests produced the following relationship: annual soil respiration=287+2.80×annual litterfall. This regression slope indicates that, on average, soil respiration is roughly three times aboveground litterfall-C, which further implies that TBCA is roughly twice annual aboveground litterfall-C. These inferences are based on the uncertain assumption of soil C stocks being at steady state. Nevertheless, changes in soil C would have to be very large to modify the conclusion that TBCA is generally much larger than litterfall. Among only mature temperate hardwood forests, however, the correlation between litterfall and soil respiration was poor, and the correlation among years for a single site was also poor. Therefore, the regression cannot be relied upon to provide accurate estimates of soil respiration or TBCA for individual sites. Moreover, interannual variation in TBCA, short-term changes in C stocks, or different temporal scales controlling leaf litter production and soil respiration may cause important deviations from the global average. The regression slope for data from young forests is steeper, possibly indicating proportionally greater TBCA, but the steady-state assumption is more problematic for young forests. This method for estimating TBCA may be most appropriate where interannual variation is averaged over several years of observations and where a near-steady-state assumption of soil, litter, and root C stocks is least problematic.

Using a number of structural and spectroscopic techniques (high-resolution neutron diffraction, small-angle neutron scattering, high-energy X-ray diffraction, EXAFS, 129I-Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy), we will show that the two regimes have a clear structural basis. Transport properties in the critical percolation domain depend almost exclusively on the connectivity of the host matrix represented by the average coordination number 〈n0〉: the nature of the mobile cations and chemical form of the dopant or of the host network do not play any important role. In contrast, the connectivity of the cation-related structural units MYz (Y=chalcogen or halide, z=3 or 4), evidenced by the short M–M correlations (from 2.7 to 4.2 A˚) and reflected by the M–M coordination number, appears to be predominant in the modifier-controlled region. Highly connected edge- or corner-sharing (ES or CS) MYz units, which form at least 2D sheets or tunnels in the glass network, lead to the highest mobility of the M+ ions.

Solutions were prepared from a zirconium based organometallic compound, solvent and chelating agent. The ZrO2 was coated on Ag and AgMg sheathed Bi-2212 wires and tapes at 500 °C for 2 min in air using a reel-to-reel, continuous sol–gel technique and these tapes were subsequently annealed at ∼860 °C in a flowing oxygen atmosphere. The relationship between the solutions and the coatings was evaluated. With reference to environment scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction studies, different steps in the process leading to the formation of ZrO2 are discussed. These studies indicate that the formation of cubic ZrO2 starts at approximately 450–550 °C and thin film thickness increases with number of dipping operations. The average adhesive strength of ZrO2 was found to be 0.763 MPa.

In particular, HfF4 films were being considered for the low index component in a multilayer interference filter that will selectively transmit photons in the wavelength range of 1.0–2.4 μm, and strongly reflect all other wavelengths. Processes were developed for sputter depositing HfF4 films with an index of refraction between 1.5 and 1.6, and an extinction coefficient below 0.001 in the 1.0–2.4 μm wavelength range. All HfF4 coatings were deposited by RF reactive magnetron sputtering with pressed powder targets. Chamber pressure during depositions ranged from 0.27 to 1.33 Pa, and RF power ranged from 50 W (0.91 W/cm2) to 150 W (2.73 W/cm2). Deposition rates depended primarily on target power and ranged from 0.03 to 0.1 nm/s. All depositions were performed with Ar as the sputtering gas. Resputtering effects due to plasma and adatom bombardment and neutral Ar atoms reflected off the target played an important role in sputter deposition of hafnium fluoride. Film thickness and composition varied strongly with substrate distance from the target axis. Resputtering of growing films by energetic argon atoms also resulted in strongly absorptive, fluorine-deficient films on the substrate platform near the target axis. However, films became increasingly more stoichiometric and transmissive as one moves away from the target axis. The films were found to be amorphous or weakly crystalline. Nine-layer interference filters were fabricated utilizing HfF4 and an Si:H alloy for the low- and high-index components, respectively. Physisorbed water in the HfF4 layers and Si&z.sbnd;H bond stretching were the primary sources of absorption between 1 and 12 μm wavelengths.

There are two reasons for using ceramic chambers in kickers: (1) to avoid shielding of a fast-changing external magnetic field by metallic chamber walls; and (2) to reduce heating due to eddy currents. The inner surfaces of the ceramic chambers will be coated with a conductive layer, possibly titanium (Ti) or copper (Cu) with a titanium nitride (TiN) overlayer, to reduce the beam coupling impedance and provide passage for beam image current. This paper describes the development of sputtering method for the 0.83 m long 16 cm inner diameter ceramic chambers. Coatings of Ti, Cu and TiN with thicknesses up to 10 μm were produced by means of DC magnetron sputtering. The difficulty of coating insulators was overcome with the introduction of an anode screen. Films with good adhesion, uniform longitudinal thickness, and conductivity were produced.

Si–Ox coatings are sputter deposited from silicon and fused quartz targets using planar magnetrons operated in the r.f. mode with a variable working-gas mixture of Argon–Oxygen. A series of coatings are prepared on optically flat, fused quartz substrates. Analysis of surface curvature reveals the deposition process conditions that minimize residual stress. Compressive stress levels that exceed 1.5 GPa can be reduced to less than 0.4 GPa for an optimum working-gas pressure. Characterization using Rutherford backscattering and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that both the fused quartz and silicon targets can be used to sputter deposit coatings with the chemical bonding features of the fused-quartz substrate material.

These remarkable properties are achieved when metal cations selected from group VIII in the periodic table are resident in the spinel lattice. Both cation charge state and site occupancy significantly influence properties in these relatively high refractive index and chemically robust films. Post-deposition annealing of deposited films in air always led to decreased resistivity but little change in the optical transmission was seen. In order to verify the small polaron charge transport mechanism that drives the conductivity, Raman spectra and both van der Pauw and Seebeck measurements were acquired as a function of film temperature and cation composition. Results indicate the importance of cation disorder on the conductivity and along with results from electronic structure simulations suggest processing avenues to further tailor film properties. These include partial substitution of lithium for cations resident on the tetrahedral lattice sites and gross replacement of first row transition metal cations with those deeper in the periodic table.

T1 - Deformation twinning in nanocrystalline Al by molecular-dynamics simulation JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2002/12/03/ VL - 50 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 5005 SN - 13596454 AB - We use a recently developed, massively parallel molecular-dynamics code for the simulation of polycrystal plasticity to elucidate the intricate interplay between dislocation and GB processes during room-temperature plastic deformation of model nanocrystalline-Al microstructures. Our simulations reveal that under relatively high stresses (of 2.5 GPa) and large plastic strains (of ~12%), extensive deformation twinning takes place, in addition to deformation by the conventional dislocation-slip mechanism. Both heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation of deformation twins is observed. The heterogeneous mechanism involves the successive emission of Shockley partials from the grain boundaries onto neighboring slip planes. By contrast, the homogeneous process takes place in the grain interiors, by a nucleation mechanism involving the dynamical overlap of the stacking faults of intrinsically and/or extrinsically dissociated dislocations. Our simulations also reveal the mechanism for the formation of a new grain, via an intricate interplay between deformation twinning and dislocation nucleation from the grain boundaries during the deformation. The propensity for deformation twinning observed in our simulations is surprising, given that the process has never been observed in coarse-grained Al and that the well-known pole mechanism cannot operated for such a small grain size. It therefore appears that the basic models for deformation twinning should be extended with particular emphasis on the role of grain-boundary sources in nanocrystalline materials.

The success of these advanced coal energy systems hinges on effective and reliable commercial-scale filtration of gases at very high temperatures. The Pinon Pine hot-gas filtration system is the first industrial-scale application of an advanced particle filtration system in the United States. The system currently is becoming operational and will provide significant practical insights into operation of the industrial-scale hot-gas cleaning process.This study is concerned with a computer simulation of hot-gas flow and particle transport and deposition in the Pinon Pine filter vessel. The FLUENT™ code is used for evaluating the gas mean velocity, mean pressure, and the state of turbulence in the filter vessel. The 748 filters arranged into four tiers are modeled as four effective cylindrical filters. The particle equation of motion that includes the nonlinear drag and the gravity is used. The particle deposition patterns are evaluated, and the effect of particle size is studied. The results show that, for clean filters, the particle deposition rate of particles on different tiers depends on particle size. These differences could lead to nonuniform cake compositions and thicknesses on the candle filters in different tiers.

This process, known as the Z-burst mechanism, is mediated through the production of a Z boson at resonance. We propose a similar mechanism and call it gravi-burst, where the particles produced at resonance are the Kaluza–Klein gravitons of weak scale mass and coupling from the Randall–Sundrum hierarchy model of localized gravity. Under certain assumptions about the energy spectrum of the primary neutrinos we find that cosmic ray data could be potentially as powerful as the LHC in probing this model.

Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 40 (2001) 591). The present study was undertaken in an effort to generalize these findings and involves an analysis of the neptunyl (NpO2 +) and plutonyl, (PuO2 +) coordination chemistry of several other expanded porphyrin systems, including those previously reported as having formed uranyl (UO2 2+) cation complexes, in particular amethyrin ([24]hexaphyrin(1.0.0.1.0.0), 2), pentaphyrin, ([22]pentaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1), 4), and the Schiff base macrocycle, alaskaphyrin (5). This study was broadened to include the Schiff base ligand 6 (grandephyrin) and its previously unreported uranyl (UO2 2+) complex. Within moments of addition of a neptunium(VI) source to methanol solutions of the expanded porphyrins 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, dramatic changes in the UV–Vis spectra are observed that are consistent with formation of a neptunyl complex and, in several cases, oxidation of the macrocycle. Similar changes were also observed when hexaphyrin (1), pentaphyrin (4), alaskaphyrin (5), and grandephyrin (6) were exposed to PuO2 2+. Corroborative changes are also observed in the associated 1H NMR spectra and in those portions of the electronic spectrum associated with the actinide cations. Although the formation of the proposed neptunyl and plutonyl complexes could not be substantiated by X-ray diffraction methods, the solid-state structure of the uranyl complex formed from 6 was elucidated and is presented in this report.

The results show that the surface of this material has 5-fold periodicity and has a surface composition with a higher Al content than the bulk material (Al-86, Pd-13, Mn-1 versus Al-71, Pd-20, Mn-9 atom%). A predominant neighbor atom distance of 7.6±0.5 A˚ is calculated from the results, consistent with scanning probe measurements and bulk models of Al–Pd–Mn quasicrystals. We calculate a nearest neighbor distance of 3.0±0.2 A˚. We also find that a Pd-rich layer exists just below an Al-rich outer layer, in agreement with dynamical low-energy electron diffraction calculations.

The effects of pulsed mode operation on transverse and longitudinal beam breakup instability are studied for H− beam in a consistent manner for the first time. Numerical simulation indicates that cumulative transverse beam breakup instabilities are not a concern in the SNS SC linac, primarily due to the heavy mass of H− beam and the HOM frequency spread resulting from manufacturing tolerances. As little as ±0.1 MHz HOM frequency spread stabilizes all the instabilities from both transverse HOMs, and also acts to stabilize the longitudinal HOMs. Such an assumed frequency spread of ±0.1 MHz HOM is small, and hence conservative compared with measured values of σ=0.00109(fHOM−f0)/f0 obtained from Cornell and the Jefferson Lab Free Electron Laser cavities. However, a few cavities may hit resonance lines and generate a high heat load. It is therefore prudent to have HOM dampers to avoid the danger of quenching a cavity.

This technology requires random fragmentation and fluorescent labeling of target nucleic acids prior to hybridization. Radical-generating coordination complexes, such as 1,10-phenanthroline–Cu(II) (OP–Cu) and Fe(II)–EDTA (Fe–EDTA), have been commonly used as sequence nonspecific “chemical nucleases” to introduce single-strand breaks in nucleic acids. Here we describe a new method based on these radical-generating complexes for random fragmentation and labeling of both single- and double-stranded forms of RNA and DNA. Nucleic acids labeled with the OP–Cu and the Fe–EDTA protocols revealed high hybridization specificity in hybridization with DNA microchips containing oligonucleotide probes selected for identification of 16S rRNA sequences of the Bacillus group microorganisms.We also demonstrated cDNA- and cRNA-labeling and fragmentation with this method. Both the OP–Cu and Fe–EDTA fragmentation and labeling procedures are quick and inexpensive compared to other commonly used methods. A column-based version of the described method does not require centrifugation and therefore is promising for the automation of sample preparations in DNA microchip technology as well as in other nucleic acid hybridization studies.

In addition, due to the high specificity of the PET radiotracers being developed, there is a demand for PET cameras with higher sensitivity and resolution. This manuscript reviews advances over the past five years in clinical and pre-clinical PET instrumentation and in new PET probes and imaging methods associated with the latest trends in the molecular imaging of cancer. Included in the PET tracer review is a description of new radioligands for steroid receptors, growth factor receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, sigma receptors, tumor-associated enzymes, gene reporter probes, markers for tumor hypoxia and metabolism, and sites associated with angiogenesis and cellular proliferation. The use of PET imaging in drug development, including the monitoring of cancer chemotherapy, also is discussed.

T1 - A novel variant of the immunoglobulin fold in surface adhesins of Staphylococcus aureus: crystal structure of the fibrinogen-binding MSCRAMM, clumping factor A. JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 2002/12/15/ VL - 21 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 6660 EP - 6672 SN - 02614189 AB - We report here the crystal structure of the minimal ligand-binding segment of the Staphylococcus aureus MSCRAMM, clumping factor A. This fibrinogen-binding segment contains two similarly folded domains. The fold observed is a new variant of the immunoglobulin motif that we have called DE-variant or the DEv-IgG fold. This subgroup includes the ligand-binding domain of the collagen-binding S.aureus MSCRAMM CNA, and many other structures previously classified as jelly rolls. Structure predictions suggest that the four fibrinogen-binding S.aureus MSCRAMMs identified so far would also contain the same DEv-IgG fold. A systematic docking search using the C-terminal region of the fibrinogen γ-chain as a probe suggested that a hydrophobic pocket formed between the two DEv-IgG domains of the clumping factor as the ligand-binding site. Mutagenic substitution of residues Tyr256, Pro336, Tyr338 and Lys389 in the clumping factor, which are proposed to contact the terminal residues 408AGDV411 of the γ-chain, resulted in proteins with no or markedly reduced affinity for fibrinogen.

Our results suggest that, as pressure increases, M 3 -like oxygen rotations are frozen into the orthorhombic antiferroelectric structure. The first order phase transformation occurs at a pressure in reasonable agreement with experiments. This high pressure orthorhombic phase ( I ′) exhibits small but reproducible Γ-like (i.e., ferroelectric) distortions. We also re-examine the PbZrO 3 antiferroelectric phase structure at ambient pressure. Strain and metal ion relaxations are found to significant lowering in energy. The low temperature rhombohedral ferroelectric phase and the orthorhombic antiferroelectric phase are shown to be very similar in energy.

Key quantities in the elementary oxidation step include the inner-sphere component of the reorganization energy, the thermodynamic driving force, and electrostatic work terms describing the interactions occurring, in this case, between the net charges on the product species. Collectively, these factors and their interplay have a large influence on the rate of the oxidation cross-reaction.An inner-sphere pathway for the self-exchange reactions and oxidation by O2 of Mn2+ and Cr2+ ions has been supported indirectly in this study by comparing predicted outer-sphere rates with the results of previous experiments. Likewise, an outer-sphere pathway is suggested for the similar sets of reactions involving the V, Fe, and Co ions. An assessment of the self-exchange reaction for the oxygen/superoxide couple has led to predicted rates in excellent agreement with direct measurements. Predicted rates of oxidation for the hexaquo Fe ion are also in agreement with experiment, while the predicted rates for the outer-sphere oxidation of its hydrolysis products are ∼2 to 3 (monohydroxo) and ∼4 (dihydroxo) orders of magnitude slower than the observed rates. This suggests an inner-sphere pathway is appropriate to explain the relatively fast rates observed for the hydrolyzed Fe species.

Formation of particular defects are often related to the crystallographic direction in which the crystals grow. For bulk crystals the highest growth rates are observed for directions perpendicular to the c-axis. Threading dislocations and nanopipes along the c-axis are not formed in these crystals, but polarity of the growth direction plays a role concerning defects that are formed and surface roughness. For growth of homoepitaxial layers, where growth is forced to take place in the c-direction threading dislocations are formed and their density is related to the purity of constituents used for growth and to substrate surface inhomogeneities. In heteroepitaxial layers two other factors: lattice mismatch and thermal expansion mismatch are related to the formation of dislocations. Doping of crystals can also lead to the formation of defects characteristic for a specific dopant. This type of defects tends to be growth method independent but can depend on growth polarity.

A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkyl thiols was then attached to provide a hydrophobic support for trialkyl phosphine oxide-based metal ion carriers. The resulting gated membranes provided a barrier to ions including H+, and Ca2+, NO3−, and CH3COO−. When an aqueous feed solution of 4.2 mM uranyl nitrate and 1 M lithium nitrate pH 4, and a receiving solution of 1 M sodium acetate pH 5.5 were used 100% of the metal was transported across the membrane by facilitated transport via the phosphate or phosphine oxide carrier. The thin gates transported metal ions as neutral nitrate complexes with fluxes high enough to be limited by the alumina support. The flux rates of 200,000 metal ions per pore per second are only a factor of 5 below that observed for the potassium channel. High selectivity of U over Eu is observed until the [U] is <0.84 mM in the feed solution, despite the fact the Eu actually transports faster when U is not present. This work demonstrates that selectivity can be added without impeding transport by using thin selective layers.

Strain rates were 3–4 orders of magnitude less than those for Yb-doped grades of silicon nitride under the same conditions, suggesting a potential for prolonged operation of this material at temperatures up to 1470 °C. The stress exponent, n, and the activation energy, Q, for creep are 5.3±2.0 and (757±117) kJ/mol, respectively. Precise density and ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering measurements revealed that, in contrast to other grades of silicon nitride, cavitation could not be detected in the material studied. Redistribution of the secondary phases via solution-precipitation combined with grain boundary sliding is discussed as a possible creep mechanism. A discussion of the effect of Lu on viscosity indicates that replacement of Y by Lu may explain the improvement of creep behavior.

The data for pure Hf could be fit using a threshold stress with a stress exponent of 5. The stress exponent of the Hf–N solid solution materials was between 5 and 8. The experiments could be interpreted on the basis of dislocation-controlled plasticity, with N acting as classical solid-solution hardening solutes. Transmission electron microscopy supported this interpretation.

The fast fracture strengths of these materials were measured by loading ASTM C-1161-B specimens in four-point flexure at 30 MPa/s and at 20, 200, 400, 600, and 850 °C. The dynamic fatigue or slow crack growth susceptibility was assessed at 20 and 850 °C by combining the fast fracture strengths with strength data obtained by testing the same specimens in four-point flexure at 0.30 and 0.003 MPa/s stressing rates, as specified in the ASTM C 1368 standard. Fracture toughness was measured following the ASTM C-1421 standard and using chevron notch specimens in three-point flexure at room and elevated temperatures. The strength of the zirconia-toughened mullite was invariant to increases in the temperature and decreases in the loading rate, while the MgO–ZrO2 and CeO2–ZrO2 materials exhibited strength degradation as temperatures increased and the loading rates decreased. Temperature was observed to have the greatest influence on facture toughness. As temperatures increased, the fracture toughness values dramatically decreased for all the materials examined in this study. Improvements in the fracture toughness are needed most for these ceramic materials in order to meet the structural requirements and to develop a more durable and reliable diesel engine component.

Their potential for low NOx and CO emissions was demonstrated in eight field-engine tests for a total duration of more than 35,000 h. In the first four field tests, the durability of the liners was limited primarily by the long-term stability of SiC in the high steam environment of the gas turbine combustor. Consequently, the need for an environmental barrier coating (EBC) to meet the 30,000-h life goal was recognized. An EBC developed under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration high speed civil transport, enabling propulsion materials program was improved and optimized under the CSGT program and applied on the SiC/SiC liners by United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) from the fifth field test onwards. The evaluation of the EBC on SiC/SiC liners after the fifth field test with 13,937-h at Texaco, Bakersfield, CA, USA is presented in this paper.

Specifically, ceramic components evaluated included a bow-shaped silicon nitride nozzle evaluated in an engine test rig, silicon nitride vanes exposed in an engine field test, and an air-cooled silicon nitride vane that is currently under development. Despite the differences in field test conditions all of the exposed silicon nitride ceramic components exhibited a significant material recession arising from the oxidation of silicon nitride and subsequent volatilization of the oxide (i.e., silica). The fracture strength of exposed airfoils was also decreased due to the formation of a subsurface damage zone induced by the turbine environments. In addition, studies indicated that the properties of as-processed ceramic components, especially in airfoil regions, were not always comparable to those generated from the standard specimens with machined surface extracted from production billets. The component characterization efforts provided an important insight into the effect of gas turbine environments on the material recession and mechanical reliability of materials as functions of exposure time and conditions, which were very difficult to obtain from a laboratory scale test.

These deposits are caused by the high sensitivity to silica of ferric oxide layer occupying the outermost surface sites of carbon steel. We evaluated the usefulness of two high-temperature performance coatings, polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-blended PPS, in inhibiting silica scaling. To obtain this information, the coated steel panels were immersed for up to 7 days in 200 °C silica-rich brine. As a result, the surfaces of the unblended PPS coating underwent some degree of brine-induced oxidation. Although the amount of silica deposited was negligible, it was found that the sulfur–oxygen derivatives formed on the surfaces by oxidation make them susceptible to silica scaling. In contrast, the PTFE-blended PPS coating had a high potential as the anti-silica fouling barrier. The major reason for this was due to the segregation of anti-oxidant, hydrophobic PTFE top surface layer above a PPS layer in the coating.

However, illumination bandwidth control is still required for EUV lithography. For example, appreciable amounts of UV power, combined with resist sensitivity to this wavelength band, would decrease image contrast. Also, appreciable amounts of IR power would place unacceptable thermal loads on the projection optics. A practical method for spectral filtering, widely used in short-wavelength synchrotron applications, is the grating monochromator. Here we present the theoretical performance analysis of a grating-based spectral purity filter integrated into an EUV lithography condenser system. Although the specific examples presented here are geared towards a specific condenser design, it should be noted that the methods described are generally applicable to a variety of condenser designs as might be found in future EUV lithography systems.

It is shown that both the amplitude and the phase profile of 3D optical pulse can be stored in dynamic perturbations of a Raman medium, such as plasma. By employing Raman scattering in a nonlinear medium, information carried by a laser pulse can be captured in the form of a slowly propagating low-frequency wave that persists for a time large compared with the pulse duration. If such a hologram is then probed with a short laser pulse, the information stored in the medium can be retrieved in a second scattered electromagnetic wave. The recording and retrieving processes can conserve robustly the pulse shape, thus enabling the recording and retrieving with fidelity of information stored in optical signals. While storing or reading the pulse structure, the optical information can be processed as an analog or digital signal, which allows simultaneous transformation of 3D continuous images or computing discrete arrays of binary data. By adjusting the phase fronts of the reference pulses, one can also perform focusing, redirecting, and other types of transformation of the output pulses.

The CaAl2−xSix compound system display a Tc-peak at x=1, a possible x-induced electronic transition at x∼0.75 and a possible miscibility gap near x∼1.1 which results in a very broad superconducting transition. The Seebeck coefficients of AAlSi indicate that their carriers are predominantly electrons in nature, in contrast to the holes in MgB2.

We find the existence of an epitaxial Pd–Ni interlayer between the epitaxial Pd layer and the Ni substrate. The Pd–Ni interlayer, which is compressively strained in a manner similar to the Pd overlayer, seemingly acts to relieve the strain at the Pd/Ni interface caused by the Pd–Ni lattice mismatch. The Ni mosaic distribution of our samples is multiply spiked with a rocking angle spread of 16°, which reconciles the previously reported observation of saw tooth peaks on top of a Gaussian distribution for a similarly prepared Pd on Ni specimen. The observed sharpening of the mosaic distributions for the Pd(0 0 2) grains (full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)=1.95°) and for the (0 0 2) grains of Pd–Ni interlayer (FWHM=3.0°) indicates that the Pd and Pd–Ni(0 0 2) layers conform to the surface morphology instead of to the (0 0 1) crystallographic planes of Ni-substrate grains.

More recently, forest biologists have argued for the sequencing of the genome of a forest tree. Now, the United States Department of Energy has announced plans for sequencing the genome of the Populus trichocarpa clone, “Nisqually-1.” Thus, forest biology is poised to enter an exciting period of scientific discovery. Embracing new technology and new research paradigms, however, is never easy. It is, therefore, timely to ask how tree physiologists will take advantage of the Populus genome data. We contend that the most attractive opportunities will arise through genome-wide research designed to: (1) examine the differences between trees and herbaceous annuals; (2) explore questions relating to the temporal and spatial scales that characterize the life histories and growth of trees; and (3) investigate cause-and-effect relationships that are intractable to conventional research methodologies. To highlight the potential applications of genomics in tree physiology, we briefly discuss each of these approaches.

An effective string rope model is presented for heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies. Our model takes into account baryon recoil for both target and projectile, arising from the acceleration of partons in an effective field, Fμν, produced in the collision. The typical field strength (string tension) for RHIC energies is about 5–12 GeV/fm, what allows us to talk about “string ropes”. The results show that a QGP forms a tilted disk, such that the direction of the largest pressure gradient stays in the reaction plane, but deviates from both the beam and the usual transverse flow directions. The produced initial state can be used as an initial condition for further hydrodynamical calculations. Such initial conditions lead to the creation of third flow component.

An in vitro transposition reaction is used to introduce a well-characterized replicon and selectable marker into purified plasmids, which are then used to transform E. coli. The approach was demonstrated using a small 3.4-kb archaeal plasmid and a large 60-kb uncharacterized plasmid from a Gram-negative bacterium. Replicon function in E. coli was tested for each plasmid, and direct sequencing of the large plasmid revealed similarity to restriction–modification systems.

Besides sticking coefficients and sputter yields, characterizations such as angular distributions of sputtered and reflected particles, and thermal-accommodation coefficients are also needed as inputs for a feature scale process simulator. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations have been used to provide pertinent information and physical insights. MD results for Ar+/Cu and Cu+/Cu systems as a function of hyperthermal ion energies and incidence angles are reported. The issue of integrating different sticking coefficients for different surface roughness is addressed, based on ion travel distance analysis. We have found that the angular distribution of sputtered particles is not cosine, but can be described by a simple Gaussian-like formula. Ion reflection characteristics are also analyzed.

The anatase polymorph could be epitaxially stabilized over a wide range of deposition temperatures and oxygen pressures. Both in-plane and out-of-plane X-ray diffraction measurements reflect a high degree of crystallinity for the deposited films. Thickness oscillations in the X-ray diffraction intensity and atomic force microscopy measurements indicate that the films are remarkably smooth, with surface morphology that is limited by that of the substrate. This result illustrates the effectiveness for epitaxy in stabilizing metastable phases, in particular for anatase, through matching of lattice spacing and nucleation chemistry.

Fifteen nanoliters of two protein samples (β-lactoglobulin A and β-lactoglobulin B) were separately mixed on-column and digested independently at 37 °C for 10 min to produce peptides in a 20-capillary system. The resulting peptides were detected simultaneously at 214 nm by a photodiode array detector. The overall analysis time from reaction to detection was about 40 min.

To gain insight into the genomic alterations associated with PhIP-induced mammary gland carcinogenesis, we used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to examine chromosomal abnormalities in rat mammary carcinomas induced by PhIP, and for comparison, by DMBA (7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene), a potent experimental mammary carcinogen. There was a consistent and characteristic pattern of chromosome-region loss in PhIP-induced carcinomas that clearly distinguished them from carcinomas induced by DMBA.

These data were taken at liquid helium temperature (4.2 K) in fields up to 15 T. The discussion of the data is based on the electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance of the pure metals that constitute the major components of the solders, the resistance ratio of the specimens, as well as the composition and the microstructure of the solders.

Here we assessed the effects of alcohol detoxification in DA D2 receptors in alcoholic subjects. We evaluated 14 patients with Type II alcohol dependence tested within 6 weeks of detoxification and then re-tested 1–4 months later while alcohol free. The comparison group comprised 11 healthy controls. PET was used with [11C]raclopride to measure DA D2 receptors. Eight alcoholics and all control subjects were tested with a CTI 931 PET scanner and six alcoholics with a Siemens HR+ PET scanner. Data were analyzed separately for the studies done in the different scanners. Comparisons between early and late alcohol detoxification showed no significant changes in DA D2 receptor availability (Bmax/Kd) for the studies done with the CTI and the HR+ scanners. Comparison with controls showed lower DA D2 receptor levels in caudate and putamen in alcoholics tested during early detoxification and in caudate during late detoxification. These studies replicate previous findings of lower striatal DA D2 receptors in alcoholics than in controls and absence of significant recovery during alcohol detoxification. These findings suggest that low DA D2 receptor availability in alcoholics is not due to alcohol withdrawal and may reflect a predisposing factor.

In this paper, a distinction is made between verification and validation, and the focus is on codifying the issues of verification for a numerical, reactive transport flow model. First, the conceptual basis of model verification is reviewed, which shows that verification should be understood as a first step in model development, and be followed by a protocol that assures that the model accurately represents system behavior. Second, commonly used procedures and methods of model verification are presented. In the third part of this paper, an intercomparison of models is used to demonstrate that model verification can be performed despite differences in hydrogeochemical transport code formulations. Results of an example simulation of transport are presented in which the numerical model is tested against other hydrogeochemical codes. Different kinetic formulations between solid and aqueous phases used among numerical models complicates model verification. This test problem involves uranium transport under conditions of varying pH and oxidation potential, with reversible precipitation of calcium uranate and coffinite. Results between the different hydrogeochemical transport codes show differences in oxidation potentials, but similarities in mineral assemblages and aqueous transport patterns. Because model verification can be further complicated by differences in the approach for solving redox problems, a comparison of a fugacity approach (based on O2 partial pressure) to both the external approach (based on hypothetical electron activity) and effective internal approach (based on conservation of electrons) is performed. The comparison demonstrates that the oxygen fugacity approach produces different redox potentials and mineral assemblages than both the effective internal and external approaches.

SN - 16182642 AB - A multi-analyte detection system using a unique antibody (Ab) biochip is described. The Ab-based biochip, also referred to as the protein biochip, uses a sensor array based on a complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) integrated circuit. The Ab-biochip has a sampling platform of four-by-four microarrays of antibodies deposited onto a Nylon membrane substrate. The micro-arrayed antibodies can be interrogated simultaneously or sequentially using the biochip sensing array detector with the use of a diffractive optical element illuminating each antibody spot individually. The usefulness of the Ab biochip is illustrated by the measurements of immunoglogulin G (IgG) used as the model analyte system. The detection limit for Cy5-labeled IgG molecules was 13 pg.

Accuracy, stability, conservation, and dense-output are first considered for the general case when N different Runge–Kutta methods are grouped into a single composite method. Then, implicit–explicit, (N=2), additive Runge–Kutta (ARK2) methods from third- to fifth-order are presented that allow for integration of stiff terms by an L-stable, stiffly-accurate explicit, singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta (ESDIRK) method while the nonstiff terms are integrated with a traditional explicit Runge–Kutta method (ERK). Coupling error terms of the partitioned method are of equal order to those of the elemental methods. Derived ARK2 methods have vanishing stability functions for very large values of the stiff scaled eigenvalue, z[I]→−∞, and retain high stability efficiency in the absence of stiffness, z[I]→0. Extrapolation-type stage-value predictors are provided based on dense-output formulae. Optimized methods minimize both leading order ARK2 error terms and Butcher coefficient magnitudes as well as maximize conservation properties. Numerical tests of the new schemes on a CDR problem show negligible stiffness leakage and near classical order convergence rates. However, tests on three simple singular-perturbation problems reveal generally predictable order reduction. Error control is best managed with a PID-controller. While results for the fifth-order method are disappointing, both the new third- and fourth-order methods are at least as efficient as existing ARK2 methods.

Radiat. Isot. 55 (2001) 799) have published “a substantial correction for calculating estimates of lead concentration and uncertainty for in vivo X-ray fluorescent bone analysis with Cd-109 source” (sic). Our paper shows that their correction fails to consider two important points that render it (i) a correction to a superseded method and (ii) of limited effect. Also, their approach to a “crude” estimate produces measurement uncertainties that are implausibly small. In order that they not be propagated in the literature, our paper also corrects several misstatements and errors in Kondrashov and Rothenberg.

Comparisons of measured and modeled results for flames with CH4/H2 as fuel have shown significant disagreement in the mass fractions of CO, with the Raman scattering measurements of [CO] being much higher than the modeling calculations. Previously published data were collected using the Raman scattering technique for all major species including CO. Raman scattering measurements of [CO] in methane flames suffer from laser-excited interference from higher hydrocarbons formed on the fuel-rich side of the reaction zone. It is well established that measurements of [CO] based on two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (TPLIF) can provide much better accuracy than those based on Raman scattering in methane and natural gas flames.Keywords: Bluff body; CO; LIF; Raman; Flame [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Combustion & Flame is the property of Elsevier Science Publishing Company, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Ancient humans preserved their knowledge by engraving bones and stone. About two millennia ago people invented paper to publish their thoughts. Today, we use magnetic media and silicon chips to store our data. "Nature" magazine reported a study resembling the first part of the effort encoding meaningful information as DNA sequences. It described an experiment in which a group of scientists at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York created an encoded DNA strand and hid it behind a period (a dot) in a printed document. The document was then sealed and mailed to its owners through the U.S. Postal Service. Eventually, the embedded message was successfully recovered in a laboratory environment. With a careful coding scheme and arrangement, important information can be encoded, such as an artificial DNA strand, and safely and permanently stored in a living host. in the short run, this technology can be used to identify origins and protect R&D investment in, say, agricultural products and endangered species.

Inclusions can range from large-scale shrinkage porosity with a tortuous surface profile to entrapped oxides introduced during the pour. When shrinkage porosity is controlled, the relevant microstructural initiation sites are often the larger Si particles within eutectic regions. In this paper, a HCF model is introduced which recognizes multiple inclusion severity scales for crack formation. The model addresses the role of constrained microplasticity around debonded particles or shrinkage pores in forming and growing microstructurally small fatigue cracks and is based on the cyclic crack tip displacement rather than linear elastic fracture mechanics stress intensity factor. Conditions for transitioning to long crack fatigue crack growth behavior are introduced. The model is applied to a cast A356-T6 Al alloy over a range of inclusion severities.

JO - Environmental Geology JF - Environmental Geology Y1 - 2003/01// VL - 43 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 339 EP - 351 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09430105 AB - Waste rock and ore associated with Hg, precious and base metal mining, and their surrounding host rocks are typically enriched in mercury relative to natural background concentrations (<0.1 µg Hg g–1). Mercury fluxes to the atmosphere from mineralized areas can range from background rates (0–15 ng m–2 h–1) to tens of thousands of ng m–2 h–1. Mercury enriched substrate constitutes a long-term source of mercury to the global atmospheric mercury pool. Mercury emissions from substrate are influenced by light, temperature, precipitation, and substrate mercury concentration, and occur during the day and night. Light-enhanced emissions are driven by two processes: desorption of elemental mercury accumulated at the soil:air interface, and photo reduction of mercury containing phases. To determine the need for and effectiveness of regulatory controls on short-lived anthropogenic point sources the contribution of mercury from geologic non-point sources to the atmospheric mercury pool needs to be quantified. The atmospheric mercury contribution from small areas of mining disturbance with relatively high mercury concentrations are, in general, less than that from surrounding large areas of low levels of mercury enrichment. In the arid to semi-arid western United States volatilization is the primary means by which mercury is released from enriched sites.

One finds that although there are many guiding principles relevant to energy sustainability and there have been numerous energy-related laws and policies enacted both prior to and after the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, growth in fossil fuel based energy use as well as in energy-related greenhouse gas emissions was more rapid-and thus less sustainable-in the eight years after 1992 than in the two decades prior to Rio.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/01// VL - 5 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 24 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - Summary Nitrate-contaminated groundwater samples were analysed for nir K and nir S gene diversity. The samples differed with respect to nitrate, uranium, heavy metals, organic carbon content, pH and dissolved oxygen levels. A total of 958 nir K and 1162 nir S clones were screened by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis: 48 and 143 distinct nir K and nir S clones, respectively, were obtained. A single dominant nir K restriction pattern was observed for all six samples and was 83% identical to the Hyphomicrobium zavarzinii nir K gene. A dominant nir S pattern was observed for four of the samples, including the background sample, and was 95% identical to the nir S of Alcaligenes faecalis. Diversity indices for nir K and nir S sequences were not related to any single geochemical characteristic, but results suggested that the diversity of nir K genes was inversely proportional to the diversity of nir S. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the sites based on geochemistry grouped the samples by low, moderate and high nitrate but PCA of the unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) distributions grouped the samples differently. Many of the sequences were not closely related to previously observed genes and some phylogenetically related sequences were obtained from similar samples. The results indicated that the contaminated groundwater contained novel nir K and nir S sequences, functional diversity of both genes changed in relation to the contaminant gradient, but the nir K and nir S functional diversity was affected differently.

Total N, P, and K concentrations of the composted litter depended on chemical properties of the initial material. On the other hand, ON ratio, humic and fulvic add and cation-exchange capacity were influenced by differences in composition of the initial spent litter and composting strategy. If moisture content was maintained weekly at 60% with a four-day turning frequency, the litter reached maturity in 56 days. Maturation of spent litter was accompanied by a decline in total C, water-extractable metals, NH4+-N, increase in ash, (NO3-+NO2-)-N, humic acid, humic acid fulvic add ratio, and cation exchange capacity, and elimination of phytotoxidty. The stability of nutrient and organic matter, acceptable pH and electrical conductivity values, and low levels of undesirable components such as heavy metals and phytotoxic compounds of the spent litter provided substantial evidence that agronomically suitable compost can be obtained after composting in windrows.

The bb production was tagged via inclusive bottom quark decays into J/ψ by exploiting the longitudinal separation of J/ψ → l+l- decay vertices from the primary proton-nucleus interaction. Both e+e- and u+u- channels have been reconstructed and the combined analysis yields the cross section σ(bb) 32-12+14(stat)-7+6(sys) nb/nucleon.

For general brane junctions, there may exist one fine-tuning among the brane tensions. For the brane networks, similar to the 5-dimensional self-tuning brane models, the brane tensions can be set arbitrarily and there exists a singularity for the metric and bulk scalar. If we want to regularize the singularity, we will introduce fine-tuning among the brane tensions. In addition, because the 4-dimensional cosmological constant we observe may be positive and very small, we discuss the brane network with de Sitter brane intersections by introducing a bulk scalar.

These cellular and molecular changes lead to the phenotypes we recognize as aging. This review discusses some of the cellular and molecular changes that occur with age, specifically changes that occur as a result of cellular responses that evolved to ameliorate the inevitable damage that is caused by endogenous and environmental insults. Because the force of natural selection declines with age, it is likely that these processes were never optimized during their evolution to benefit old organisms. That is, some age-related changes may be the result of gene activities that were selected for their beneficial effects in young organisms, but the same gene activities may have unselected, deleterious effects in old organisms, a phenomenon termed antagonistic pleiotropy. Two cellular processes, apoptosis and cellular senescence, may be examples of antagonistic pleiotropy. Both processes are essential for the viability and fitness of young organisms, but may contribute to aging phenotypes, including certain age-related diseases.

We combine experimental studies of as-synthesized and hydrothermally coarsened titania (TiO2) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) with thermodynamic analysis, kinetic modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, synchrotron X-ray absorption and scattering, and UV-vis spectroscopy. At low temperatures, phase transformation in titania nanoparticles occurs predominantly via interface nucleation at particle-particle contacts. Coarsening and crystal growth of titania nanoparticles can be described using the Smoluchowski equation. Oriented attachment-based crystal growth was common in both hydrothermal solutions and under dry conditions. MD simulations predict large structural perturbations within very fine particles, and are consistent with experimental results showing that ligand binding and change in aggregation state can cause phase transformation without particle coarsening. Such phenomena affect surface reactivity, thus may have important roles in geochemical cycling.

Glass starting powders enriched in 18O and 28Si were mated to isotopically normal glass powders to form simple diffusion couples, and self-diffusion experiments were conducted in the piston cylinder device (1 and 2 GPa) and in the multianvil apparatus (3.5 and 4 GPa). Profiles of 18O/16O and 29,30Si/28Si were measured using secondary ion mass spectrometry. Self-diffusion coefficients for O (D(O)) are slightly greater than self-diffusion coefficients for Si (D(Si)) and are often the same within error. For example, D(O) = 4.20 ± 0.42 × 10−11 m2/s and D(Si) = 3.65 ± 0.37 × 10−11 m2/s at 1 GPa and 1662°C. Activation energies for self-diffusion are 215 ± 13 kJ/mol for O and 227 ± 13 kJ/mol for Si. Activation volumes for self-diffusion are −2.1 ± 0.4 cm3/mol and −2.3 ± 0.4 cm3/mol for O and Si, respectively. The similar self-diffusion coefficients for Si and O, similar activation energies, and small, negative activation volumes are consistent with Si and O transport by a cooperative diffusion mechanism, most likely involving the formation and disassociation of a high-coordinated intermediate species. The small absolute magnitudes of the activation volumes imply that Di58An42 liquid is close to a transition from negative to positive activation volume, and Adam-Gibbs theory suggests that this transition is linked to the existence of a critical fraction (∼0.6) of bridging oxygen.

A drought during periods of the year when moisture is normally abundant may impact decomposition more than moisture limitation during seasons that are routinely dry. We excluded precipitation for a 3-month period during each of four seasons and measured mass loss and nitrogen (N) dynamics in Acer rubrum leaf litter by using a litterbag approach. We hypothesized that rainfall exclusion would retard mass loss during the exclusion period, with the maximum effect occurring during the spring and summer months when moisture was normally adequate and temperatures optimum for decomposition, and that exclusion during these two periods would have the greatest impact on subsequent timing of decomposition events, particularly N mineralization. Mass loss in litterbags was initially reduced by precipitation exclusion in the spring treatment only. For each season, a set of bags exposed to drying in the same way and allowed to remain in the field under ambient conditions for an additional 9 months no longer showed a difference in mass loss relative to control bags. Nitrogen accumulation was immediately and significantly reduced in the exclusion treatments in all seasons; however, like mass loss, there was no difference 9 months later. We conclude that short-term effects of drought do occur, especially with regard to N accumulation, and that these effects do not persist and are unlikely to have any substantial effect on nutrient cycling.

Our description of the Forum is presented from the perspective of user-centered interaction design. The system consists of a WWW-based collaborative virtual environment comprised of intelligent software agents that support explicit information sharing, chance meetings, and real time informal communication. The Forum provided the technological support for users to interact informally, but lacked the social support necessary to motivate users to interact with strangers in their community of practice. Context, or the reasons why two persons might want to meet, was overlooked. We propose future directions for the Forum including cultural signposts that provide contextual cues in the intelligent community-based system to better support information sharing and real time communication between strangers. The contribution of the present paper is to provide lessons learned about design considerations from a series of user trials over a period of one year for developing adaptive community-based systems.

The test surfaces, solid copper blocks with 1-cm2 bases and 5×5 square pin-fin arrays of 2, 4 and 8 mm fin lengths, were immersed in FC-72. The test conditions included an absolute pressure range of 30–150 kPa and a subcooling range of 0 (saturation) to 50 K. Effects of these parameters on nucleate boiling and critical heat flux (CHF) were investigated. In addition, differences between pure subcooled and gas-saturated conditions as well as horizontal and vertical base orientations were also investigated. Results showed that, in general, the effects of pressure and subcooling on both nucleate boiling and CHF were consistent with previously tested flat surface results, however, subcooling was found to significantly affect the high heat flux region of the microporous finned surfaces nucleate boiling curves. The relative enhancement of CHF from increased subcooling was greater for the microporous surface than the plain surface but less than a microporous flat surface. The horizontal orientation (horizontal base/vertical fins) was found to be slightly better than the vertical orientation (vertical base/horizontal fins). Correlations for both nucleate boiling and CHF for the microporous surfaces were also developed.

A possible solution to this problem is proposed in this work, whereby we use ion/molecule reactions in combination with tandem mass spectrometry to determine the site of phosphorylation on phosphorylated monosaccharides. Singly charged negative ions from phosphorylated monosaccharides are reacted with trimethyl borate in an FTICR MS analyzer cell to produce ion/molecule reaction products with the loss of a neutral methanol molecule. This reaction product likely involves a covalent bond between one of the phosphate oxygen atoms and boron. Derivatization of the phosphate in this manner allows stabilization of the phosphate group under SORI-CID conditions, allowing generation of ions characteristic of the phosphate linkage. Ion structures and dissociation mechanisms explaining these results are presented and discussed. The mechanistic studies suggest that the extra degrees of freedom provided by the 6-linked phosphate allows formation of diagnostic ions in the 6-linked case that are not formed from the 1-linked isomer. The dissociation of the ion/molecule reaction products using infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) as an activation method was also investigated. While SORI-CID and IRMPD activation yield similar dissociation patterns, the characteristic differences in the product ion spectra between the monosaccharides phosphorylated in the 1- and 6-positions are not observed using IRMPD.

Understanding the behavior of ions in these devices is important in choosing a multipole configuration and optimizing its performance. We have developed a computer model based on ion trajectory calculations in the RF multipole electric field, taking into account ion–ion and ion–neutral interactions. The two-dimensional model for idealized infinite RF multipoles gives an accurate description of the ion density distribution. We consider first a basic case of a single m/z ion cloud in the two-dimensional RF quadrupole after equilibrium is reached. Approximate theoretical relationships for the ion cloud configuration in the two-dimensional ion trap are tested based on the simulation results. Next we consider the case of an ion cloud consisting of several different m/z ion species. The ion relaxation dynamics and the process of establishing the stratified ion density distribution are observed. Simulations reveal that the ion kinetic energy relaxation dynamics are dependent on the ion population and bath gas pressure. The equilibrium distribution agrees well with the ion stratification theory, as demonstrated by simulations for RF quadrupole and octopole two-dimensional ion traps.

The energetics and dynamics of selective cleavages at acidic residues were deduced by modeling the time- and energy-resolved fragmentation efficiency curves (TFECs) using an RRKM-based approach developed in our laboratory. RRKM modeling revealed that addition of a basic residue—arginine—to the C-terminus of a peptide has a very small effect on the dissociation threshold. However, the dynamics of dissociation is dramatically affected by the presence of arginine. The Arrhenius pre-exponential factor for dissociation of LDIFSDF is two orders of magnitude higher than the pre-exponential factor for dissociation of arginine-containing peptides. The difference in the pre-exponential factors is indicative of a complex rearrangement process associated with selective fragmentation. Molecular mechanics modeling of the four parent ions gives some qualitative insight into the differences in fragmentation mechanisms.

Reaction enthalpies and energy barriers have been calculated for neat alcohols, protonated alcohols and alcohols complexed to alkali metal ions (Li+ and Na+). We have estimated pre-exponential A factors in order to obtain gas phase rate constants. For neat alcohols, the barrier to 1,2-dehydration is about 67 kcal mol−1, which is consistent with the limited experimental data. Protonation and metal complexation significantly reduce this activation barrier and thus, facilitate more rapid reaction. With the addition of alkali metals, the rate of dehydration can increase by a factor of 108 while addition of a proton can lead to an increase of a factor of 1023.

T1 - Influence of steroid structure on the pyrolytic formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons JO - Journal of Analytical & Applied Pyrolysis JF - Journal of Analytical & Applied Pyrolysis Y1 - 2003/01// VL - 66 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 71 SN - 01652370 AB - It is well known that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are formed from the pyrolysis of biomass, but the precursors and pathways that lead to PAHs are not well characterized. In this investigation, the flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) and the atmospheric pressure flow pyrolysis of a series of structurally different plant steroids, including stigmasterol, stigmasteryl acetate, β-sitosterol, stigmasta-3,5-diene, cholesterol, cholesteryl acetate, dihydrocholesterol, and ergosterol was investigated at 700 °C to determine the impact of steroid structure on the formation of three, four, and five ring PAHs. FVP of the steroids revealed that PAHs, such as phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene, chrysene, benz[a]anthracene and their monomethylated derivatives, were formed by a series of unimolecular reactions, and the PAH yields were dependent upon the steroid structure. PAH yields were most sensitive to the number of double bonds in the steroid B-ring. Ergosterol (two double bonds) produced 13-fold more PAHs than dihydrocholesterol (no double bonds) in FVP experiments and 4-fold more PAHs in the flow pyrolysis experiments. Increasing the temperature from 700 to 800 °C in the FVP experiments only slightly increased the PAH yields for dihydrocholesterol relative to cholesterol, but the yield of small aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene and toluene, increased approximately 2-fold. Small increases in PAH yields (10–40%) were found in the FVP experiments if a double bond was placed in the steroid A-ring by 1,2-elimination of an ester (as for cholesteryl acetate), but this trend was not observed in the flow pyrolysis experiments. Insight into the structural origins of the PAHs was gained by FVP of [4-13C]cholesterol, in which the 13C content of the products were determined by mass spectrometry. The PAH yields from the flow pyrolysis of steroids esterified with saturated and unsaturated long chain fatty acids, i.e. cholesteryl stearate, cholesteryl oleate, and cholesteryl linolenate, were 20–40% lower (per gram of steroid) than the free steroid. The yield of three to five ring PAHs did not correlate with the number of double bonds in the ester chain, but the yield of benzene increased as the number of double bonds in the ester chain increased. In general, this investigation has shown that structural differences in steroids can significantly alter the PAH yields formed from the vacuum pyrolysis or atmospheric pressure pyrolysis of steroids.

The high quantum yields of this class of compounds, along with large absorption cross-sections, make fluorescence a very attractive technique for trace analysis determination of PAHs. Furthermore, fluorescence can provide in situ and online information regarding the composition and concentration of PAHs formed during combustion or pyrolysis processes. In this paper, we utilize a fiber-optic probe coupled to a spectrometer to collect fluorescence spectra of several PAH vapors at elevated temperatures using excitation at 337 nm. We have collected the fluorescence of standards as well as complex mixtures of PAHs at 300 °C. The expected band broadening induced by temperature effects was observed, but did not compromise the spectrum signature for each PAH studied. We have measured fluorescence spectra of benzo[a]pyrene, pyrene, anthracene, and phenanthrene vapors. Determination of trace amounts of the toxicologically important benzo[a]pyrene has been shown to be feasible. Experimental results show that at 337 nm, benzo[a]pyrene is the most quantum efficient fluorophore among the PAHs studied. Furthermore, fluorescence lifetime measurements were found to be helpful in the characterization of PAH mixtures.

This was accomplished by re-measuring, using modern accelerator mass spectrometry techniques, the radiocarbon dates of ancient iron-based artefacts that were originally radiocarbon dated 30 years ago by beta counting. The samples were dated with the rust that had accumulated over the last 30 years, which in some cases had consumed most of the original metal. The study also afforded the opportunity to compare beta counting with accelerator mass spectrometry, large and small sample sizes, and old versus new carbon extraction methods. The results demonstrate that in at least some circumstances the carbon in rust can be reliably used for radiocarbon dating. Some experimental observations on iron microstructure and oxidation processes which support these results, are reviewed. The issues of sample size and the role of rust are important because they open up new possibilities for dating iron-based artefacts that had previously been assumed to be unavailable.

The genomic organization of human multidrug resistance-associated protein 7 (MRP7) was identified. The human MRP7 gene, consisting of 22 exons and 21 introns, greatly differs from other members of the human MRP subfamily. A splicing variant of human MRP7, MRP7A, expressed in most human tissues, was also characterized. The 1.93-kb promoter region of MRP7 was isolated and shown to support luciferase activity at a level 4- to 5-fold greater than that of the SV40 promoter. Basal MRP7 gene expression was regulated by 2 regions in the 5′-flanking region at –1,780–1,287 bp, and at –611 to –208 bp. In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, MRP7 promoter activity was increased by 226% by genotoxic 2-acetylaminofluorene and 347% by the histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A. The protein was expressed in the membrane fraction of transfected MDCK cells.Copyright © 2003 National Science Council, ROC and S.

As a result, there is a growing literature describing how chemical thermodynamics can be used to inform processes for old and new biochemical products for industry and medicine. A particular application of molecular thermodynamics concerns separation of aqueous proteins by selective precipitation. For this purpose, we need phase diagrams; for constructing such diagrams, we need to understand not only the qualitative nature of phase equilibria of aqueous proteins but also the quantitative intermolecular forces between proteins in solution. Some examples are given to show how aqueous protein–protein forces can be calculated or measured to yield a potential of mean force and how that potential is then used along with a statistical thermodynamic model to establish liquid–liquid and liquid–crystal equilibria. Such equilibria are useful not only for separation processes but also for understanding diseases like Alzheimer’s, cataracts and sickle-cell anemia that appear to be caused by protein agglomeration.

We describe an algorithm for simulating radiation diffusion on such a mesh, coupled to multi-fluid gasdynamics. Conservation laws are enforced by using locally conservative difference schemes along with explicit synchronization operations between different levels of refinement. In unsteady calculations each refinement level is advanced at its own optimal timestep. Particular attention is given to the appropriate coupling between the fluid energy and the radiation field, the behavior of the discretization at sharp interfaces, and the form of synchronization between levels required for energy conservation in the diffusion process. Two- and three-dimensional examples are presented, including parallel calculations performed on an IBM SP-2.

In this paper we describe a local remapping algorithm for a positive scalar function. This algorithm is second-order accurate, conservative, and sign preserving. The algorithm is based on estimating the mass exchanged between cells at their common interface, and so is equally applicable to structured and unstructured grids. We construct the algorithm in a series of steps, clearly delineating the assumptions and errors made at each step. We validate our theory with a suite of numerical examples, analyzing the results from the viewpoint of accuracy and order of convergence.

A model for the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is developed to represent complex heterogeneity at two different scales: (1) layer scale corresponding to geologic layering and (2) local scale. The layer-scale hydrogeologic properties are obtained using inverse modeling, based on the available measurements collected from the Yucca Mountain site. Calibration results show a significant lateral and vertical variability in matrix and fracture properties. Hydrogeologic property distributions in a two-dimensional, vertical cross-section of the site are generated by combining the average layer-scale matrix and fracture properties with local-scale perturbations generated using a stochastic simulation method. The unsaturated water flow and conservative (nonsorbing) tracer transport through the cross-section are simulated for different sets of matrix and fracture property fields. Comparison of simulation results indicates that the local-scale heterogeneity of matrix and fracture properties has a considerable effect on unsaturated flow processes, leading to fast flow paths in fractures and the matrix. These paths shorten the travel time of a conservative tracer from the source (repository) horizon in the unsaturated zone to the water table for small fractions of total released tracer mass. As a result, the local-scale heterogeneity also has a noticeable effect on global tracer transport processes, characterized by an average breakthrough curve at the water table, especially at the early arrival time of tracer mass. However, the effect is not significant at the later time after 20% tracer mass reaches the water table. The simulation results also verify that matrix diffusion plays an important role in overall solute transport processes in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain.

The results show that carbon aerogel is a good edl capacitor and can be further divided into mesoporous and microporous capacitors. According to the experiments, the mesoporous capacitor shows a fast charging/discharging response and is only minimally affected by the electrolyte concentration and scan rate. Therefore, the specific capacitance of the mesoporous capacitor is found to be constant over a wide range of applied electrical potentials. On the other hand, the microporous capacitor shows a slow charging/discharging response and its capacitance strongly depends on the electrolyte concentration and potential. Unlike previous experiments, in which only a flat minimum was observed at the point of zero charge (pzc), in the current study, a deep minimum is observed near the pzc at low electrolyte concentration if a slow scan rate is used. This unique feature is a result of edl overlapping in the micropores and is consistent with the predictions by the Gouy–Chapman model employed in this study. Based on this behavior, a new approach is suggested for pzc measurements of solid porous materials for which a large portion of the surface area is in the micropore region.

Assessment of radiological or chemical health risks from these fragments requires a model relating urinary U to the rate of migration of U from the fragments, and its accumulation in systemic tissues. A detailed biokinetic model for U has been published by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), but its applicability to U migrating from embedded DU fragments is uncertain. Recently, ) conducted a study at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) on the redistribution and toxicology of U in rats with implanted DU pellets, simulating embedded fragments. This paper compares the biokinetic data from that study with the behavior of commonly studied forms of U in rats (e.g., intravenously injected U nitrate). The comparisons indicate that the biokinetics of U migrating from embedded DU is similar to that of commonly studied forms of U with regard to long-term accumulation in kidneys, bone, and liver. The results provide limited support for the application of the ICRP’s model to persons with embedded DU fragments. Additional information is needed with regard to the short-term behavior of migrating U and its accumulation in lymph nodes, brain, testicles, and other infrequently studied U repositories.

The Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 amorphous powder obtained by a high pressure Ar gas atomization method has a wide super-cooled liquid region of 63 K. Warm extrusion of the amorphous powders in the super-cooled liquid state successfully yielded a fully consolidated bulk amorphous Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 alloy. The processing conditions for extrusion are obtained from the time–temperature-transformation curve for the onset of crystallization of the amorphous powder. Lower extrusion ratio of 5 is preferred for the retention of the single amorphous phase during extrusion at 848 K. The extruded bulk amorphous Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 alloy exhibits a high strength level (∼2.0 GPa) similar to that of an as-cast bulk amorphous Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 alloy (∼2.2 GPa). The mechanical behavior of the extruded alloy under the compressive condition shows no anisotropy in the longitudinal and transverse directions to the extrusion direction.

Microstructural characterization of Pu and its alloys by EBSD had been previously elusive primarily because of the extreme toxicity and rapid surface oxidation rate associated with Pu metal. The experimental technique, which included ion-sputtering the metal surface using a scanning Auger microprobe (SAM) followed by vacuum transfer of the sample from the SAM to the scanning electron microscope (SEM), used to obtain electron backscatter diffraction Kikuchi patterns and orientation maps for a Pu–gallium alloy is described and the initial microstructural observations based on the analysis are discussed. The phase transformation behavior between the δ (face-centered cubic) and ϵ (body-centered-cubic) structures is explained by combining the SEM and EBSD observations.

Simeone et al. regarding radiation-induced phase transformations in MgAl2O4 spinel. Based on experimental results presented by D. Simeone et al. and previously by other researchers, and based on the structure factor results presented here, spinel most likely succumbs to a phase transformation under irradiation that involves a profound change in the arrangement of cations in the lattice. The space group is modified by the transformation and the new, metastable structure is most likely a defective rocksalt structure. These conclusions are at odds with the description of the spinel metastable phase offered by Simeone et al.

Independent knowledge concerning historical pollutionevents and 137Cs fall-out profiles has allowed a criticalevaluation of the CRS, CIC and CF-CS models for the 210Pb ageinterpretation. Resulting ages for the three models suggest that, in this case,the CIC model gives the most accurate interpretation of historical pollutionevents and atmospheric lead fall-out. The 210Pbwater-sediment flux was estimated at 141–1158Bq·m−2·yr−1 for one site and62–106 Bq·m−2·yr−1 at theother site, during the last century. The large difference illustrates thatsediment focusing was important on a small spatial scale (10 m).The direction of focusing correlates with the predominant wind direction.Maximum atmospheric lead deposition rates were found to be 1.63 ± 0.59g·m−2·yr−1 around 1968 AD,which is 2 orders of magnitude larger than the Belgian average in 1980 AD, and5 orders larger than Holocene atmospheric lead deposition.

Emphasis was placed on achieving enhanced low temperature (700–800 °C) performance, and long-term cell stability. Investigations involved manipulation of the lanthanum ferrite chemistry, addition of noble metal oxygen reduction catalysts, incorporation of active cathode layer compositions containing Co, Fe and higher Sr contents, and attempts to optimize the ceria barrier layer between the LSF cathode and YSZ electrolyte.

The tool combines the versatility of a commercial computational fluid dynamics simulation code with a validated electrochemistry calculation method. Its function is to predict the flow and distribution of anode and cathode gases, temperature and current distributions, and fuel utilization. A three-dimensional model geometry, including internal manifolds, was created to simulate a generic, cross-flow stack design. Similar three-dimensional geometries were created for simulation of co-flow, and counterflow stack designs. Cyclic boundary conditions were imposed at the top and bottom of the model domains, while the lateral walls were assumed adiabatic. The three cases show that, for a given average cell temperature, similar fuel utilizations can result irrespective of the flow configuration. Temperature distributions however, which largely determine thermal stresses during operation, are dependent on the chosen design geometry/flow configuration. The co-flow case had the most uniform temperature distribution and the smallest thermal gradients, thus offers thermo-structural advantages over the other flow cases.

These studies have lead to attempts to exploit those systems that show strong structural relationships between a parent structure and its lithiated products. In this paper, an overview of several systems is presented, particularly those that operate by lithium insertion/metal displacement reactions with a host metal array at room temperature. An analogy between these reactions and the high-temperature electrochemical reaction of sodium/nickel chloride cells, which is 100% efficient, is provided. On this basis, a prognosis for using intermetallic electrodes in lithium-ion cells is given.

Oxygen contents have been measured over extended temperature and composition ranges. Neutron powder diffraction was used to precisely measure the A–O and Mn–O bond lengths and derive accurate interatomic distances [Ca–O], [Sr–O], [Ba–O], and [Mn–O]. By using these parameters instead of tabulated ionic radii we have derived the functional dependence of the tolerance factor t=t(x,y,T,δ) on composition, temperature, and oxygen content. At a fixed oxygen content, the tolerance factor is an increasing function of temperature as a result of greater thermal expansion of the average 〈A–O〉 bond relative to the 〈Mn–O〉 bond. We find that the stability of the perovskite phase at high temperature is governed, as expected, by the magnitude of tolerance factor (t⩽1) which can be adjusted by controlling the oxygen content 3−δ. This dependence of the tolerance factor on oxygen content and temperature can be utilized to design synthesis conditions for the controlled formation of the new, kinetically stable, perovskite phases.

Here we describe an accurate and efficient method for both precise quantification and comprehensive de novo identification of peptide sequences in complex mixtures. The unique feature of this method is based on the incorporation of deuterium-labeled (heavy) lysines into proteins through in vivo cell culturing, which introduces specific mass tags at the carboxyl termini of proteolytic peptides when cleaved by certain proteases. The mass shift between the unlabeled and the deuterated lysine (lys-d4) assigns a mass signature to all lysine-containing peptides in any pool of proteolytic peptides. Lys-d4 tags can also serve as internal markers in MS/MS fragment spectra when they are buried in some peptide sequences due to miscleavages. This signal specificity circumvents the mass accuracy limitations in determining particular amino acid residues for de novo sequencing. Further, this strategy of lysine-specific tagging was successfully implemented to measure the differential protein expression of human skin fibroblast cells in response to heat shock.

Mass spectra following ECD of the homodeoxynucleotides polydC, polydG, and polydA contain w or d “sequence” ions. For polydC and polydA, the observed fragments are even-electron ions, whereas radical w/d ions are observed for polydG. Base loss is seen for polydG and polydA but is a minor fragmentation pathway in ECD of polydC. We also observe fragment ions corresponding to w/d plus water in the spectra of polydC and d(GCATGC). Although the structure of these ions is not clear, they are suggested to proceed through a pentavalent phosphorane intermediate. The major fragment in ECD of d(GCATGC) is a d ion. Radical a- or z-type fragment ions are observed in most cases. IRMPD primarily results in base loss, but backbone fragmentation is also observed. IRMPD provides more sequence information than ECD, but the spectra are more complex due to extensive base and water losses. It is proposed that the smaller degree of sequence coverage in ECD, with fragmentation mostly occurring close to the ends of the molecules, is a consequence of a mechanism in which the electron is captured at a P&z.dbnd6;O bond, resulting in a negatively charged phosphate group. Consequently, at least two protons (or alkali metal cations) must be present to observe a w or d fragment ion, a requirement that is less likely for small fragments.

In some cases, such as HIV-1, the early goal of eradicating infections with antimicrobial drugs is, for now, being replaced with the more pragmatic goal of controlling infections over long periods of time through a succession of transiently effective treatments. Because treatment efficacy is often incomplete, studying the degree of treatment efficacy has great relevance to clinical disease management. We derived a model describing the association between the mutation rate of the pathogen and the degree of treatment efficacy. We found that drug treatment is most effective when the mutation rate of the pathogen is either very low or, perhaps counterintuitively, very high. We discuss this finding in the light of a promising new treatment strategy for RNA viruses that combines antiviral compounds with a mutagen.

Even though contact tracing is one of the most effective methods used for controlling treatable STDs, it is still a controversial strategy for controlling HIV because of cost and confidentiality issues. To help estimate the effectiveness of these control measures, we formulate two models with random screening and contact tracing based on the differential infectivity (DI) model and the staged-progression (SP) model. We derive formulas for the reproductive numbers and the endemic equilibria and compare the impact that random screening and contact tracing have in slowing the epidemic in the two models. In the DI model the infected population is divided into groups according to their infectiousness, and HIV is largely spread by a small, highly infectious, group of superspreaders. In this model contact tracing is an effective approach to identifying the superspreaders and has a large effect in slowing the epidemic. In the SP model every infected individual goes through a series of infection stages and the virus is primarily spread by individuals in an initial highly infectious stage or in the late stages of the disease. In this model random screening is more effective than for the DI model, and contact tracing is less effective. Thus the effectiveness of the intervention strategy strongly depends on the underlying etiology of the disease transmission.

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2003/01// VL - 45 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 20 EP - 28 SN - 00953628 AB - The hypothesis that spatial isolation is a key determinant of microbial community structure in soils was evaluated by examining the competitive dynamics of two species growing on a single resource in a uniform sand matrix under varied moisture content. One species dominated the community under highly connected, saturated treatments, suggesting that these conditions allow competitive interactions to structure the community. As moisture content decreased, however, the less competitive species became established in the community. This effect was most pronounced at a matric water potential of ?0.14 MPa where estimates of final population density and species fitness were equal. A second but more closely related species pair exhibited a similar response to decreasing moisture, suggesting that the effects of spatial isolation we observed are not simply a species-pair-specific phenomenon. These findings indicate that spatial isolation, created by low moisture content, plays an important role in structuring soil microbial communities.

Potential energy functions for the mineral models were developed within the AMBER force field [Cornell, W.D., Cieplak, P., Bayly, C.I., Gould, I.R., Merz, K.M., Ferguson, D.M., Spellmeyer, D.C., Fox, T., Caldwell, J.W. and Kollman, P.A.

Intramolecular potential parameters were chosen to yield a mineral structure with flexible surface hydroxyl groups. The electrostatic potential for a goethite slab was determined from a periodic Unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculation and used to assign point charges to the mineral atoms. The models were solvated in water and their effect on solution structure is shown to be very similar, predicting oscillations in solvent density near the mineral surface and structured orientation of water molecules.

Applying their accepted acronyms were the SPC (Simple Point Charge), SPC/E (SPC extended), MSPC/E (SPC/E modified), TIP4P (Transferable Intermolecular Potential, four point charges), TIP5P (TIP, five point charges), and the PPC (Polarizable Point Charge) intermolecular potential models. Configurations of computer simulations were used to study the structure at the level of partial three-particle correlation functions. We created contour maps for visual evaluation, calculated overlap integrals of the three-particle correlation functions of the models to quantify their similarity, and determined their distance-dependent three-particle entropy contribution. The SPC/E and the TIP4P water models generate quite similar structures, while the SPC and the MSPC/E pair exhibit the largest discrepancies. The structure of the PPC is the most ordered and the SPC structure is the most disordered among the studied interaction models.

We split the solution into two parts representing the large-scale and small-scale motions. We define the large scale as the sum of the first k[subc] Fourier modes in each direction and the small scale as the sum of the remaining modes. We attempt to reconstruct the small scale by incorporating the large-scale solution as known forcing into the equations governing the evolution of the small scale. We want to find the smallest value of k[subc] for which the time evolution of the large scale sets up the dissipative structures so that the small scale is determined to a significant degree. Existing theory based on energy estimates gives a pessimistic estimate for k[subc] that is inversely proportional to the smallest length scale of the flow. At this value of k[subc] the energy in the small scale is exponentially small. In contrast, numerical calculations indicate that k[subc] can often be chosen remarkably small. We attempt to explain why the time evolution of a relatively few number of large-scale modes can be used to reconstruct the small-scale modes in many situations. We also show that similar behavior is found in solutions to Burgers' equation.

A current pulse of 4200 A peak, and base-width of 400 ns, is passed in opposite directions through parallel plates 10 cm apart on either side of the muon storage region in the (g−2) storage ring. A field integral of 0.1 Tm was achieved, which kicks the 3.09 GeV/c muon beam by about 10 mrad. This kick is achieved by employing three identical 1.76 m long sections, each powered by a separate pulse-forming network. The design and performance of the kicker is presented.

Comparing with the smooth approximation without acceleration, this method gives a more accurate calculation of the zero-current phase advance and effective potential when the energy gain through a period is not negligible. Using such a smooth approximation, we have studied an alternating phase focusing structure in a proposed accelerator-driven test facility superconducting linac. A self-consistent macroparticle simulation for one asymmetrical alternating phase focusing structure shows that beyond a beam current of 50 mA, there will be significant particle losses. This will put a limit on the future machine operation based on the alternating phase focusing concept.

Radiation pressure on the cavity walls, microphonics, and tuning system are possible sources of dynamic detuning during SRF cavity-pulsed operation. A general analytic relation between the cavity voltage, the dynamic detuning function, and the RF control function is developed. This expression for the voltage envelope in a cavity under dynamic detuning and dynamic RF controls is analytically expressed through an integral formulation. A semi-analytical scheme is derived to calculate the voltage behavior in any practical case. Examples of voltage envelope behavior for different cases of dynamic detuning and RF control functions are shown. The RF control function for a cavity under dynamic detuning is also investigated and as an application various filling schemes are presented.

The energy resolution of the 662-keV gamma-ray peak from a 137Cs source was used to monitor the spectroscopy performance of the detectors. The efficiency, depletion voltage, leakage current, and noise were also monitored. The effects of radiation damage caused by 200-MeV protons were studied to determine the viability of operation in space. Four detectors, two maintained at 88 K and two maintained at 212 K, were irradiated to a fluence of 8.7×108 p/cm2. No effects were observed. The two detectors irradiated at 212 K were subsequently irradiated with an additional 8.7×109 p/cm2, again at 212 K. These detectors then exhibited slight energy resolution degradation. No other radiation damage effects were observed. The resolution degradation increased at higher operating temperature and decreased with higher electric field. Cycling the detectors to room temperature for 14 h eliminated the resolution degradation. The resolution of these detectors is limited by the combination of ballistic deficit and parallel noise in the ∼220 K range. A significant decrease in the gamma-ray peak count rate, almost certainly caused by surface channel effects, was the most dramatic temperature-dependent effect observed.

A rapid reaction of the sodium bisulfite adduct of the aldehyde precursor with ammonia provided the precursor for radiosynthesis. [11C]Cyanide displacement followed by base hydrolysis afforded the corresponding 11C-labeled amino acids. The purification and chiral separation were simply achieved by using a combination of solid-phase extraction and chiral HPLC to afford individual enantiomers of each amino acid. The decay corrected radiochemical yields for each of the enantiomers were 12–16% with respect to the [11C]cyanide after 40–45 min of radiosynthesis. Radiochemical purity of the products was >97% (typically >99%), enantiomeric excess was >98% with the specific radioactivity 2–3 Ci/μmol at the end of bombardment. Because of its simplicity and wide applicability, the described procedure could be the method of choice to produce [11C]amino acids for PET studies.

A simple alternative to bagging is to partition the data into disjoint subsets. Experiments with decision tree and neural network classifiers on various datasets show that, given the same size partitions and bags, disjoint partitions result in performance equivalent to, or better than, bootstrap aggregates (bags). Many applications (e.g., protein structure prediction) involve use of datasets that are too large to handle in the memory of the typical computer. Hence, bagging with samples the size of the data is impractical. Our results indicate that, in such applications, the simple approach of creating a committee of n classifiers from disjoint partitions each of size 1/n (which will be memory resident during learning) in a distributed way results in a classifier which has a bagging-like performance gain. The use of distributed disjoint partitions in learning is significantly less complex and faster than bagging.

The intra-grain superconducting transition temperature, Tc, is resolved in ac-susceptibility as well as resistivity measurements. It is shown that the pressure shift of Tc is much smaller than that of other high-Tc compounds in a similar doping state. In contrast, the ferromagnetic transition temperature, Tm, increases with pressure at a relative rate that is about twice as large as that of Tc. The high-pressure data indicate a possible competition of the ferromagnetic and superconducting states in RuSr2GdCu2O8.

TiCl3(THF)3 reacts with 3 equiv. NaN(C6F5)2 to yield the ‘metallate’ complex {Na(THF)2}{Ti[N(C6F5)2]4} (1). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal a tetrahedral titanium center complexed by four decafluorodiphenylamido ligands; while two THF ligands and four fluorine atoms coordinate the sodium cation. ZrCl4 reacts with 3 equiv. KN(C6F5)2 to give {K(η6-C7H8)2}{ZrCl2[N(C6F5)2]3} (2). The 19F NMR spectrum of 2 reveals phenyl resonances in a 2:1 ratio, consistent with a trigonal bipyramidal structure being maintained in solution. The crystal structure of 2 reveals a pseudo-octahedral structure, with the sixth-coordination site being completed by a weak Zr&z.sbnd;F interaction with a pentafluorophenyl group of an amido ligand. The potassium counterion interacts in an η6 fashion with two toluene rings in addition to a fluorine atom arising from one of the pentafluorophenyl groups. The reaction of VCl3 with 3 equiv. KN(C6F5)2 generates the ‘metallate’ complex K{VCl[N(C6F5)2]3} (3); the solid state structure of 3 reveals a distorted trigonal bipyramid with the coordination sphere being completed by a weak V–F interaction with the ortho-fluorine of one of the fluorophenyl amido ligands. Exposure of FeCl3 to 3 equiv. KN(C6F5)2 results in reduction of the metal center and the formation of the Fe(II) species Fe[N(C6F5)2]2(THF)2 (4). Compound 4 is tetrahedral in the solid state with none of the weak M&z.sbnd;F contacts observed for 1, 2, 3 and 5. CoI2 reacts with 2 equiv. NaN(C6F5)2 in the presence of pyridine to produce the expected product Co[N(C6F5)2]2(py)2 (5); X-ray crystallography reveals a five-coordinate species in the solid state which is additionally stabilized by a weak Co&z.sbnd;F interaction.

The shape of each microtool is controlled to a pre-specified geometry that includes rake and relief features. We demonstrate tools having rectangular, triangular, and other complex-shaped face designs. A double-triangle tip on one tool is unique and demonstrates the versatility of the fabrication process. The FIB technique allows observation of the tool during fabrication, and, thus, reproducible features are generated with sub-micron precision. Tools are made from tungsten carbide, high-speed tool steel, and single crystal diamond. Application of FIB-shaped tools in ultra-precision microgrooving tests shows that the cross-section of a machined groove is an excellent replication of the microtool face. Microgrooves on 40–150 μm pitch are cut into 3 mm diameter polymer rods, for groove arc lengths greater than 12 cm. The surface finish of machined features is also reported; groove roughness (Ra) is typically less than 0.2 μm. Ultra-precision machining of cylindrical substrates is extended to make bound metal microcoils having feature sizes of 20–40 μm.

This paper offers a review of the use of deterministic importance functions for variance reduction of Monte Carlo simulations. Adjoint methodology and the concept of “importance” are presented, along with an explanation of their use for variance reduction. Relevant works from a number of different researchers are briefly reviewed. The authors'' CADIS methodology for calculating consistent source biasing and weight window parameters based on deterministic importance functions is presented. Efforts to automate the generation and use of deterministic importance functions are briefly described, including an overview of the A3MCNP code. Finally, aspects of interest, including computational benefits, associated with using deterministic importance functions for Monte Carlo simulation of real-world problems are demonstrated.

The 75-problem test set allows the user to verify the correctness of a criticality code for infinite medium and simple geometries in one-, two-, three-, and six-energy groups, with one-, two-, and four-media. The problems include both isotropic and linearly and quadratically anisotropic neutron scattering. The problem specifications will produce both keff = 1 and the quoted k∞ to at least five decimal places. MCNP (Briesmeister, 1997) and DANTSYS (Alcouff, R.E, et al., 1995) have been verified using these problems. Additional uses of the test set for code verification are also discussed.

Examples could include self-assembled amphiphilic block co-polymers/surfactants, cross-linkable polymers, dendrimers, microemulsions, latex particles, biomacromolecules, electric- or shear-induced structures as templates to fabricate inorganic, organic/inorganic composites and polymeric materials with nanoscale modifications. The phase behavior of block co-polymers in water and the use of templates to form ordered nanostructures are reviewed in detail.

In an effort to facilitate structure:function studies of human apoA-I, we have optimized a plasmid vector for production of recombinant wild type (WT) and mutant apoA-I in bacteria. To facilitate mutagenesis studies, subcloning, and DNA manipulation, numerous silent mutations have been introduced into the apoA-I cDNA, generating 13 unique restriction endonuclease sites. The coding sequence for human apoA-I has been modified by the introduction of additional silent mutations that eliminate 18 separate codons that employ tRNAs that are of low or moderate abundance in Escherichia coli. Yields of recombinant apoA-I achieved using the optimized cDNA were 100±20 mg/L bacterial culture, more than fivefold greater than yields routinely obtained with the original cDNA. Site-directed mutagenesis of the apoA-I cDNA was performed to generate a Glu2Asp mutation in the N-terminal sequence of apoA-I. This modification, which creates an acid labile Asp–Pro peptide bond between amino acids 2 and 3, permits specific chemical cleavage of an N-terminal His-Tag fusion peptide used for rapid protein purification. The product protein’s primary structure is identical to WT apoA-I in all other respects. Together, these changes in apoA-I cDNA and bacterial expression protocol significantly improve the yield of apoA-I protein without compromising the relative ease of purification.

The methodology of the new detectors is introduced. The preliminary results show a measurable response of the gel material detectors to radon gas. The measurements are compared with those using NTDs CR-39 type for calibration purposes. Both the detection systems, the passive close-end cup system with NTDs and the passive close-end cup gel material detector, were exposed at the same time in the radon calibration chamber to different radon exposition levels from 150 to 3000 Bq/m−3.

The PADC used for the tests has been produced by Intercast Europe S.p.A. Three sets of detectors have been employed: two of PADC standard material from two different batches, and one of PADC with the addition of 0.1% dioctylphthalate. Each set consisted of 50 detectors.For each set of detectors, 20 have been irradiated free-in-air at 1 mSv of H*(10) with an 241Am–Be source at ENEA-IRP, whilst the other detectors have been used as background samples. For each batch the value of the average background signal, B, the average neutron sensitivity, S, and minimum detectable dose equivalent, MDDE, have been determined. Two identical tests have been completed and separated with a time of 4 months in order to evaluate the ageing effect on the material stored in different conditions. Each dosimetric service processed the detectors according to local routine procedures. Three laboratories used an Autoscan60 reader, whilst one laboratory has an in-house reading system.

This enzyme plays essential roles in carbohydrate anabolism and catabolism; it is ubiquitous and highly conserved. The structure of RpiA from Escherichia coli was solved by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing, and refined to 1.5 A˚ resolution (R factor 22.4%, Rfree 23.7%). RpiA exhibits an α/β/(α/β)/β/α fold, some portions of which are similar to proteins of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. The two subunits of the dimer in the asymmetric unit have different conformations, representing the opening/closing of a cleft. Active site residues were identified in the cleft using sequence conservation, as well as the structure of a complex with the inhibitor arabinose-5-phosphate at 1.25 A˚ resolution. A mechanism for acid-base catalysis is proposed.

The decomposition pathways are investigated using a combination of temperature programmed desorption, Auger electron spectroscopy, high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, and soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. All these surfaces exhibit high activity toward the decomposition of NO, and the only N-containing products are N2 and N2O. Furthermore, all three surfaces preferentially produce N2 over N2O from the decomposition of NO. Oxygen atoms, produced from the decomposition of NO, react with carbide surfaces to produce gas-phase CO at high temperatures. In addition, our results demonstrate that cycles of alternate NO/hydrocarbon treatments can regenerate the carbide overlayer on W(1 1 1), and the regenerated C/W(1 1 1) surface remains active in the decomposition of NO.

These center around the production of new states of matter. The quark gluon plasma is thermal matter which once existed in the big bang which may be made at RHIC. The color glass condensate is a universal form of matter which controls the high energy limit of strong interactions. Both such forms of matter might be produced and probed at RHIC.

Notch Bridgman tension experiments were performed on specimens to failure and then other specimens were tested to 90%, 95%, and 98% of the failure load. The specimens were evaluated with nondestructive X-ray tomography and optical image analysis. Finite element simulations of the notch tests were performed with an elastic–plastic internal state variable material model that incorporated the pertinent microstructures (silicon particle volume fraction and size distribution and porosity volume fraction and size distribution). Parametric finite element simulations were performed to give insight into various initial conditions and responses of the notch tensile bars. The various methods all corroborated the same damage progression.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is probably the best-understood receptor system, and computational models have played a significant part in its elucidation. For many years, models have been used to analyze EGFR dynamics and to interpret mutational studies, and are now being used to understand processes including signal transduction, autocrine loops and developmental patterning. The success of EGFR modeling can be a guide to combining models and experiments productively to understand complex biological processes as integrated systems.

Compositional profiles across the solute depleted Cu-rich FCC lamellae and the Cu4Ti lamellae within isothermally formed cellular colonies were measured in a FEG-TEM from thin-foil specimens prepared by conventional electropolishing and by a technique using a Ga+ focused ion-beam (FIB). The Cliff–Lorimer ratio method, with an absorption correction, was employed to quantify the compositions. Two FIB samples were prepared with different orientations of the lamellae with respect to the ion-milling direction. The compositional profiles across the Cu-rich FCC lamellae and the Cu4Ti compound lamellae in both the FIB-prepared samples and the electropolished sample were, within experimental error, numerically equivalent. The composition of the Cu4Ti compound phase lamellae was very close to the ideal stoichiometric composition of 20 at% Ti. It is concluded that for this system, and for the specimen preparation procedures used in this study, the Ga+ ion-milling process has had no detectable effect on the chemistry changes across the interlamellar interface at the scale studied. These results indicate that the possible sources of chemical artifacts which include redeposition, preferential sputtering and ion-induced atomic migration can be minimized if several precautions are taken during milling in the FIB. Consistent with previous investigators, it was also found that the ion-milling process does introduce significant structural artifacts (e.g., dislocations) into the softer FCC Cu-rich phase compared with a specimen produced by conventional electropolishing.

The third-order effect consists of spherical harmonic terms up to rank l=6 and shifts NMR frequencies between two spin states that are not symmetric such as satellite transitions. Two-dimensional satellite transition magic-angle spinning experiment averages both the first and the second-order quadrupolar interactions making the quantitative measurement of the third-order effect possible. The third-order quadrupolar effect in andalusite has been measured at 11.7 T and its powder patterns are fitted with numerical simulations.

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied for the first time to both modern and 150-year-old daguerreotypes. In addition to surface and depth profiling, the analysis of colors on “tinted” samples allowed identification of the pigment. These results complement the previous analysis by laser ionization mass spectrometry of the surface composition of clean and tarnished examples of the old photographs. Laser ablation cleaning of the submicrometer tarnish layers has now been clearly demonstrated on numerous daguerreotypes with various extents and types of tarnish. The use of computer controlled XY translation and stable laser beam quality have allowed decisive proof-of-principle examples of laser restoration. The best parameters of laser wavelength, power and pulse duration have been determined. Using digital files of daguerreotype images, straightforward models have been developed that allow for the digital mapping of the surface tarnish. In principle, such maps could guide the computer control of the laser cleaning process.

Structural evolution during annealing was investigated and homogeneous nanocrystalline structures with different grain sizes have been obtained by controlled annealing. Nanocrystallization results in the record value of room temperature strength for this material equal to 2650 MPa with an elongation to failure of about 5%. At elevated temperatures of (0.4…0.5)Tm nanocrystalline nitinol showed a high ultimate strength with sufficient elongation (up to 200%). The observation that the shape and the size of grains after deformation remain close to that of the initial state suggests that in nanocrystalline NiTi such mechanism as grain boundary sliding and grain rotation are active and the generation and motion of dislocations play the role of accommodation of stress concentration.

In this paper, we studied the microstructure changes of M2 tool steel before and after cryogenic treatment. We found that cryogenic treatment can facilitate the formation of carbon clustering and increase the carbide density in the subsequent heat treatment, thus improving the wear resistance of steels.

Williams in 1981. Initial studies centered around structural effects in the TMTSF salts. Since 1984, the major emphasis has been on salts of the electron donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET). Important milestones include the discovery of a number of new superconductors, among them: β-(ET) 2 IBr 2 (T c =2.8 K) and β-(ET) 2 AuI 2 (T c =4−5 K). These salts led to the first structure-properties relationship in ET salts. κ-(ET) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]Br (T c =11.8 K, ambient pressure) and κ-(ET) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]Cl (T c =12.5 K at 0.3 kbar pressure) are still the cation radical superconductors with the highest known transition temperatures. The families of κ L - and κ H -(ET) 2 [M(CF 3 ) 4 ](solvent) salts (T c =2−11 K) yielded at least 25 new closely related organic superconductors with M=Cu, Ag, Au, and solvent=1,1,2-trihaloethane. β″-(ET) 2 SF 5 CH 2 CF 2 SO 3 (T c =5 K) was the first superconductor where both the radical cation and the charge balancing anion were organic. Recent results in the synthesis and characterization of ET salts with anions similar to SF 5 CH 2 CF 2 SO 3 − are presented.

The effects of strong color fields associated with an enhanced strangeness and diquark production probability and with an effective decrease of formation times are investigated. Antibaryon-to-baryon ratios increase with the color field strength. The ratios also increase with the strangeness content &z.sfnc;S&z.sfnc;. The netbaryon number at midrapidity considerably increases with the color field strength while the netproton number remains roughly the same. This shows that the enhanced baryon transport involves a conversion into the hyperon sector (hyperonization) which can be observed in the (Λ−Λ¯)/(p−p¯) ratio.

We argue that, from the point of view of string theory and standard approaches to generating the μ term, cancellations among parameters are not a generic feature. While the coefficients relating MZ to parameters in the soft supersymmetry breaking Lagrangian can be made smaller, these same mechanisms lead to lighter superpartner masses at the electroweak scale. Consequently we strengthen the implication that gluinos, neutralinos, and charginos are light and likely to be produced at the Fermilab Tevatron and a linear collider.

The columns were not static across states or behaviors within a state, but showed inversion in activation/inactivation patterns, and narrowed or widened over time. A correlation between state-dependence and reflectance patterns emerged, with transitions to active waking and REM most likely exhibiting enhanced columnar patterning, relative to QS. No columnar patterns appeared in overlying neocortical areas or in control media. The columnar patterns suggest a highly structured functional state-dependent organization in the dorsal hippocampus, as has been previously predicted by anatomical studies.

Ground and excited state geometries are calculated in the gas phase and four solvents. The results are interpreted in the context of a two-state valence bond model for charge-transfer transitions of conjugated organic molecules, and are compared to recent resonant Raman experimental results. The calculated geometries are qualitatively consistent with both the two-state model and experiment. In addition, calculated transition density matrices are presented to visualize the changes in charge distribution accompanying photoexcitation.

These materials exhibit serrated flow during nanoindentation, manifested as a stepped load-displacement curve punctuated by discrete bursts of plasticity. These discrete “pop-in” events correspond to the activation of individual shear bands, and the character of serrations is strongly dependent on the indentation loading rate; slower indentation rates promote more conspicuous serrations, and rapid indentations suppress serrated flow. Analysis of the experimental data reveals a critical applied strain rate, above which serrated flow is completely suppressed. Furthermore, careful separation of the plastic and elastic contributions to deformation reveals that, at sufficiently low indentation rates, plastic deformation occurs entirely in discrete events of isolated shear banding, while at the highest rates, deformation is continuous, without any evidence of discrete events at any size scale. All of the present results are consistent with a kinetic limitation for shear bands, where at high rates, a single shear band cannot accommodate the imposed strain rapidly enough, and consequently multiple shear bands must operate simultaneously.

We investigate this interaction by inserting macro–micronutrient cycling into a high resolution ocean model that realistically represents the general circulation. Simulated chlorophyll distributions reproduce many features of satellite-based measurements of ocean color. Meridional sections through model results and seasonally averaged SeaWiFS data agree reasonably well, both in the oligotrophic gyres and along fronts. Discrepancies are associated in many cases with shelf, ridge or island effects. Dimethyl sulfide peaks and their chlorophyll correlations are similar to those obtained on major oceanographic expeditions. Lack of strong regional relationships between the sulfide and phytoplankton may be partly explained by correspondence between time constants for production and for the traversal of mesoscale transport features. In general the eddies and filaments of tropical instability waves are well represented, including the onset of the 1997–1998 El Nin˜o. North–south shifts of the transition zone chlorophyll front appear prominently in the results.

The systematics of measured B(E2) values from the ground state to the first excited state have been extended to the N=82 shell closure in the Te nuclei and have been compared with the predictions of different theories. The measurements were performed at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) using the GRAFIK detector. The success of this approach, which couples a 5.7% efficient through-well NaI(Tl) γ-ray detector with thin foil microchannel plate beam detectors, also demonstrates the feasibility for Coulomb excitation studies of neutron-rich nuclei even further from the valley of beta stability, both at present-generation ISOL facilities and at the proposed Rare Isotope Accelerator.

The screening mass is used to determine a lower limit for the allowed range of pminT.

The function Fi,Y updates the binary state of vertex i as a function of the states of vertex i and its Y-neighbors and leaves the states of all other vertices fixed. The permutation π represents a Y-vertex ordering according to which the functions Fi,Y are applied. By composing the functions Fi,Y in the order given by π we obtain the SDSFY,π=∏i=1nFπ(i),Y:F2n→F2n.In this paper we will generalize a class of results on SDS that have been proven for symmetric Boolean (local) functions to quasi-symmetric local functions. Further, we completely classify invertible SDS and investigate fixed points of sequential and parallel cellular automata (CA). Finally, we show sharpness of a combinatorial upper bound for the number of non-equivalent SDS that can be obtained through rescheduling for a certain class of graphs.

The I domain Mg2+ directly coordinates Glu-34 of ICAM-1, and a dramatic swing of I domain residue Glu-241 enables a critical salt bridge. Liganded and unliganded structures for both high- and intermediate-affinity mutant I domains reveal that ligand binding can induce conformational change in the αL I domain and that allosteric signals can convert the closed conformation to intermediate or open conformations without ligand binding. Pulling down on the C-terminal α7 helix with introduced disulfide bonds ratchets the β6-α7 loop into three different positions in the closed, intermediate, and open conformations, with a progressive increase in affinity.

XPS measurement demonstrated that Cu concentration is higher in the outside region of bulk samples, indicating that Cu may be incorporated through an immersing process rather than ion-exchanging. TEM observation showed that, like an aerogel sample with K ions, Cu-loaded organic aerogels had porous texture in which gel particles about 20-30 nmφ were interconnected with each other. Metal-loading process used in this study was considered as a promising method to disperse metals without changing original structure of carbon aerogels.

The results reveal the presence of high density of electron states located at the oxide/germanium interface that lead to the energy band bending. The surface of native oxide layers and that of thin oxide layer grown under dry oxygen correspond to GeO2 composition. Under Ar etching, lower oxidation states were revealed. Short in situ heat treatment at T=673 K under ultrahigh vacuum leads to the removal of the oxide layer. In addition, the analysis of the layer grown at T=653 K under dry oxygen suggests that carbides form at the oxide/substrate interface.

It is demonstrated that in perchloric acid solution underpotential deposition of hydrogen (Hupd) and hydroxyl adsorption (OHad) is in strong competition with the adsorption of Cl anions, the latter being present as a trace impurity in HClO4. The interaction of Cl with Pd is rather strong, controlling the adsorption of Hupd and OHad as well as the kinetic rate of CO oxidation. The microscopic insight (the binding sites) of the adsorbed CO (COad) and the rate of CO oxidation (established from CO2 production) on Pt(1 1 1) modified with a (sub)monolayer of Pd is elucidated by means of Fourier infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The appearance of both the characteristic Pt(1 1 1)–COad and Pt(1 1 1)–1 ML Pd–COad stretching bands on a Pt(1 1 1) surface covered by 0.5 ML Pd confirms previous findings that the Pd atoms agglomerate into islands and that the bare Pt areas and the Pd islands behave according to their own surface chemistry. The systematic increase of the Pd surface coverage results in a gradual change in the catalytic properties of Pt(1 1 1)–xPd electrodes towards CO oxidation, from those characteristic of bare Pt(1 1 1) to those which are characteristic for Pt(1 1 1) covered with 1 ML of Pd.

This system provides a model for proton transfer in minimally hydrated sulfonic acid based polymer electrolyte membranes, materials of technological importance in fuel cells. As a mechanism of proton transport, these simulations identify a defect involving the formation of an H5O2+ ion and the re-organization of neighboring sulfonate groups, which share a proton between the oxygen atoms of the anionic sites. The energy of formation of this defect (0.3 eV) agrees with the experimentally determined activation energy for proton transport in minimally hydrated Nafion® of 0.36 eV.

In this study we investigated whether tunable-surface bead chemistry and peptide nucleic acids (PNA) could enhance the recovery and detection of intact rRNA in both test tube and automated suspension array hybridization formats. Intact rRNA was easily captured and detected on PNA-coated Lumavidin beads from 0.1 ng total RNA with a 15-min hybridization in pH 7 buffer, representing 1.7×103 cell equivalents of total RNA. DNA-conjugated beads in pH 5 hybridization buffer required an overnight hybridization to achieve a detectable signal at 0.1 ng target RNA. Standard DNA hybridization conditions (pH 7) were one order of magnitude less sensitive than the tunable-surface (pH 5) condition. The PNA-conjugated particles were 100× more sensitive than the tunable-surface DNA particles in the automated format, with a detection limit of 0.1 ng total RNA. The detection limits for total RNA on PNA-conjugated microparticles is immediately conducive to the detection and characterization of microorganisms in low-biomass environments or to the identification of rare sequences in a complex sample mixture, without using PCR.

Here, we report two crystal structures of SET7/9, a histone methyltransferase (HMTase) that transfers methyl groups to Lys4 of histone H3, in complex with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) determined at 1.7 and 2.3 Å resolution. The structures reveal an active site consisting of: (i) a binding pocket between the SET domain and a c-SET helix where an AdoMet molecule in an unusual conformation binds; (ii) a narrow substrate-specific channel that only unmethylated lysine residues can access; and (iii) a catalytic tyrosine residue. The methyl group of AdoMet is directed to the narrow channel where a substrate lysine enters from the opposite side. We demonstrate that SET7/9 can transfer two but not three methyl groups to unmodified Lys4 of H3 without substrate dissociation. The unusual features of the SET domain-containing HMTase discriminate between the un- and methylated lysine substrate, and the methylation sites for the histone H3 tail.

The sensitivity of X-ray reflectivity to probe mineral dissolution is discussed, including the applicability of this approach for different dissolution processes and the range of dissolution rates (∼10−12 to 10−6 mol/m2/sec) that can be measured. Measurements were performed at pH 12.9 for the (001) surface and at pH 1.1 for the (001) and (010) surfaces at temperatures between 46 and 83°C. Dissolution at pH 12.9 showed a temperature-invariant process with an apparent activation energy of 65 ± 7 kJ/mol for the (001) cleavage surface consistent with previous powder dissolution results. Dissolution at pH 1.1 of the (001) and (010) surfaces revealed a similar process for both surfaces, with apparent activation energies of 87 ± 7 and 41 ± 7 kJ/mol, respectively, but with systematic differences in the dissolution process as a function of temperature. Longer-term measurements (five monolayers) show that the initial rates reported here at acidic pH are greater than steady-state rates by a factor of 2. Apparent activation energies at acidic pH differ substantially from powder dissolution results for K-feldspar; the present results bracket the value derived from powder dissolution measurements. The difference in apparent activation energies for the (001) and (010) faces at pH 1.1 reveals an anisotropy in dissolution kinetics that depends strongly on temperature. Our results imply a projected ∼25-fold change in the ratio of dissolution rates for the (001) and (010) surfaces between 25 and 90°C. The dissolution rate of the (001) surface is higher than that of the (010) surface above 51°C and is projected to be lower below this temperature. These results indicate clearly that the kinetics and energetics of orthoclase dissolution at acidic pH depend on crystal orientation. This dependence may reflect the different manifestation of the Al-Si ordering between the T1 and T2 tetrahedral sites at these two crystal faces and can be rationalized in terms of recent theoretical models of mineral dissolution.

As a result, it is now possible to measure many long-lived radionuclides at natural abundances across the nuclear chart, from the lightest (10Be) to the heaviest (244Pu). Particular emphasis is placed on measurements to understand the ion optics and the origin of background ions, which ultimately limit the sensitivity. VERA is now ready to venture into the realm of actinides (e.g., 236U, 244Pu), and other heavy radionuclides (e.g., 182Hf), which promise interesting applications in astrophysics and other fields.

T1 - Dynamics of hyperthermal energy ion–surface collisions: dissociative and non-dissociative scattering of ethanol cations from a self-assembled monolayer surface of fluorinated alkyl thiol on Au (1 1 1) JO - International Journal of Mass Spectrometry JF - International Journal of Mass Spectrometry Y1 - 2003/01/15/ VL - 223/224 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 783 SN - 13873806 AB - Dissociation and inelastic scattering of ethanol molecular ions from self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surface of fluorinated alkyl thiol on an Au (1 1 1) monocrystal have been studied at 28.9 and 52.9 eV collision energies. A single dynamics mechanism for quasi-inelastic scattering was found at both energies. Ions recoil nearly parallel to the surface with very small kinetic energy losses of the order of ≤2 eV. Dissociation dynamics features for the main dissociation channel, loss of methyl radical, are dramatically different from that of inelastically scattered primary ions and are different at the two collision energies studied. At 28.9 eV two energetically and angularly resolved features are observed, one corresponding to the loss of very large amounts (nearly all) of ion’s translational energy and the other appearing to gain energy (superelastic scattering). This dynamics feature is interpreted as delayed dissociation of ions transmitted through the energy analyzer as molecular ions. This implies a lifetime of such excited ions of more than 5 μs. The same dynamics features are observed at 52.9 eV ion energy except that a second inelastic process begins to compete with the nearly fully inelastic process. Moreover, at this energy the delayed ion dissociation mechanism is the dominant mechanism. The hypothesis that collision of ethanol cations with the SAM surface initially involves collision of the ion with a single end group of the SAM polymer chain provides a useful rationale for the observed dynamics. Support for this hypothesis is provided by Newton diagrams, which summarize momentum conservation relationships in terms of a common center-of-mass, CMeff, which provides a basis for describing scattering mechanisms for this system. Observation of three energetically distinct scattering processes suggests uniquely different ion–surface interactions contributing to surface-induced dissociation of ethanol ions. Preliminary experiments with Ar+ scattered from the same surface exhibit very similar dynamics features to that observed for ethanol cations. Finally, we note that intensities of scattered primary or fragment ions never approach the specular angle at the energies investigated here.

On August 26, 1998, an interplanetary shock caused two injections of energetic particles in close succession: one directly from the dayside and the other indirectly from the nightside associated with a sudden magnetic field enhancement induced by the shock''s effect on the magnetotail. The latter injection was different from a typical substorm injection in that the nightside magnetic field at geosynchronous orbit enhanced almost simultaneously over a wide range of local times within 10 min after the arrival of the shock. Available observations and our simulations show that like the dayside, the nightside magnetosphere can also inject energetic particles into the inner magnetosphere from a wide local time region in response to a shock impact. The nightside particle injection was due to changes in magnetic and electric fields over a large region of space and thus shows that the magnetic and electric fields in the magnetotail can respond globally to the shock impact.

In order to demonstrate the efficacy of PCR reaction for the heat-labile toxin producing enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli), which causes cholera-like diarrhea, 100 bp DNA ladders were injected along with the PCR product. Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as the separation medium and provided separation resolution which was adequate for the identification of PCR product. The miniaturized integrated CMOS microchip system with CAE has excellent advantages over conventional instrumental systems for analysis of bacterial pathogens such as compactness, low cost, high speed, and multiplex capability. Furthermore, the miniaturized integrated CMOS microchip system should be compatible with a variety of microfabricated devices that aim at more rapid and high-throughput analysis.

It is shown by finite element analysis that the method provides a reasonably good approximation to a constant shear state in the sample. The use of very small samples makes this method very attractive, especially during the material development stage, when larger samples may be impractical or impossible to fabricate.

Both classes of alloys contained approximately 5 vol.% of dispersed silica phase. Additions of MoB or Mo5Si3 caused the average grain size to decrease. The decrease in the grain size was typically accompanied by an increase in flexure strength, a decrease in the room temperature fracture toughness, and a decrease in the hot strength (compressive creep strength) measured around 1200 °C, except when the Mo5Si3 effectively became the major phase. Oxidation measurements on the two classes of alloys were carried out in air. Both classes of alloys were protected from oxidation by an in-situ adherent scale that formed on exposure to high temperature. The scale, although not analyzed in detail, is commonly recognized in MoSi2 containing materials as consisting mostly of SiO2. The MoB containing materials showed an increase in the scale thickness and the cyclic oxidation rate at 1400 °C when compared with pure MoSi2. However, in contrast with the pure MoSi2 material, oxidation at 1400 °C began with a weight loss followed by a weight gain and the formation of the protective silica layer. The Mo5Si3 containing materials experienced substantial initial weight losses followed by regions of small weight changes. Overall, the MoB and Mo5Si3 additions to MoSi2 tended to be detrimental for the mechanical and oxidative properties.

We have already reported successful results as to the synthesis, characterizations and applications of the insulation coatings using the SIST. In order to provide no electrical short circuit in Jc measurements of HTS/LTS coils, the bonding of the coatings onto the substrate is a very important issue. In this present research, the adhesion properties of high temperature MgO–ZrO2 coatings were scrutinized for different processing parameters. Lap joints were fabricated by laying fresh sol–gel coated silver tape samples over each other and then by heat-treating at temperature range of 500–800 °C for several times in air. These joint samples were pulled to failure by using a mini tensile tester. MgO–ZrO2 was coated on Ag tapes by sol–gel process using Mg and Zr based precursors. The obtained results obviously pointed out that the best Mg precursor is Mg(C5H7O2)·2H2O to prepare solution and there is a strong relationship between film growth and adhesion properties. Also, MgO content in ZrO2 increased its bonding strength. The optimum heat treatment conditions are 600 °C and 15 min for best bonding for these high temperature insulation coatings on HTS tape conductor. The failure mode of all samples was in the form of a mixed type interfacial/cohesive defects in MgO–ZrO2 coating.

CdS was formed in SiO2 substrate by successive multi-energy implantation of constituent elements (three different ion doses) and subsequent thermal annealing (Ta=800 or 1000 °C). The analysis of 2D GISAXS patterns with the Guinier plot was compared to the fit results of the local mono-disperse approximation. Results indicate that the applied implantation+annealing procedure resulted in formation of isolated, spherical CdS nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 amorphous matrix, evenly distributed in the substrate in all three dimensions. Nanoparticle average size, size distribution, inter-particle distance and fraction of synthesized atoms were determined. Larger doses induced strong clustering into larger nanoparticles, accompanied with the increase of inter-cluster distance, that indicates the strain-related enhancement of the diffusion of small CdS nanocrystals. Results promote GISAXS as an excellent and nondestructive tool to investigate the role of particular implantation and annealing steps, in term of nanocrystal size, morphology and size distribution of CdS nanocrystals.

Resonant small-angle scattering at the 2p levels of 3d transition elements strongly enhances scattering from both magnetic and chemical structure of thin films and allows a quantitative determination of the chemical and magnetic grain sizes with nm resolution. The chemical grain size measurements compliments the information determined by transmission electron microscope. However, the ability to measure magnetic correlations in the <100 A˚ range is well below the resolution that is currently achievable in most magnetic imaging techniques. Information about length scales in non-magnetic underlayers is also provided by these sensitive scattering measurements by tuning the photon energy to elements that are specific to the underlayer structure. These techniques should continue to provide insight and feedback into the development of future recording media.

We present here Å-resolution synchrotron X-ray studies of the structure of stearic acid LFs on a liquid mercury surface. At low coverage, 110 Å2/mol, a 2D gas phase of flat-lying molecules is observed. At high coverage, 23 Å2/mol, two different hexatic phases of standing-up molecules are observed. At intermediate coverage, 52⩽A⩽110 Å2/mol, novel single- and double-layered phases of flat-lying molecular dimers are found, exhibiting a 1D in-layer order. Such flat-lying phases were not hitherto observed in any LF. Measurements on LFs of fatty acids of other chain lengths indicate that this structure is generic to chain molecules on mercury, although the existence of some of the flat-lying phases, and the observed phase sequence, depend on the chain length. Organic LFs on Hg, and in particular the new flat-lying phases, should provide a broader nano-structural tunability range for molecular electronic device construction than most solid-supported self-assembled monolayers used at present.

The [1 0 0] axis of RE2O3 oxides mostly prefers aligning to the Ni[1 1 0] axis, while the [0 0 1] axis is aligned with the Ni[0 0 1] axis. This (2√ of 2×22×2√ of 2)R45° extended domain matching (EDM) seems to be favored by a high coincidence site density (CSD) with the Ni(0 0 1) surface atoms, in spite of the existence of large lattice mismatches to Ni(0 0 1). Meanwhile a 3×3 EDM is not favored on Ni(0 0 1), in spite of the relatively small lattice mismatch to Ni(0 0 1), because of the existence of a low CSD. The broad mosaic distributions of RE2O3(0 0 l) grains (6–9° full-width at half-maximum) indicate that RE2O3 layers prefer growing along the Ni(0 0 1) planes rather than along the Ni surface, a condition presumably induced by the favorable energetics for EDM.

For increasing field or temperature, we find a transition from ordered straight vortices to disordered decoupled vortices. This transition is associated with a peak effect in the critical current. For samples with increasing disorder strength the field at which the decoupling occurs decreases. Long range, nonlinear interactions in the c-axis are required to observe the effect.

Polymethylmethacrylate’s adhesion to graphite is much stronger compared with metal-coated silicon or graphite, because of graphite’s high porosity and microroughness. Another advantage of graphite is its easy sacrificial removal by abrasion. Results are presented on the fabrication of high-aspect-ratio freestanding copper grids used as collimators in mammography and medical imaging. The method can be used in the production of micromolds for hot embossing and injection mold fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs) and for fabrication of arrays of microparts on pick-and-place carriers for assembly into MEMS.

The sensor contains an array of 10 micromachined cantilever beams. Each cantilever is 500 μm wide×267 μm long×2 μm thick and has a capacitance readout capable of measuring cantilever deflection to within 1 nm. A 20-nm-thick coating of 90% palladium–10% nickel bends some of the cantilevers in the presence of hydrogen. The palladium–nickel coatings are deposited in ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) to ensure freedom from a “relaxation” artifact apparently caused by oxidation of the coatings. The sensor consumes 84 mW of power in continuous operation, and can detect hydrogen concentrations between 0.1 and 100% with a roughly linear response between 10 and 90% hydrogen. The response magnitude decreases with increasing temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration, and the response time decreases with increasing temperature and hydrogen concentration. The 0–90% response time of an unheated cantilever to 1% hydrogen in air is about 90 s at 25 °C and 0% humidity.

We present direct evidence for W5+ 5d-electron localization in amorphous tungsten oxide films upon lithium ion and electron intercalation by comparing the Raman spectra of amorphous and crystalline tungsten oxide films. We observe that when lithium ions and electrons are inserted into the crystalline tungsten oxide films, the monoclinic structure of the material proceeds to progressively increased symmetry. On the other hand, when lithium ions and electrons are inserted into amorphous tungsten oxide films, the inserted electrons are localized in W5+ sites and polarize their surrounding lattice to form small polarons. The extra Raman peaks due to the W5+&z.sbnd;O single bonds and W5+&z.dbnd6;O double bonds appear at 330 and 450 cm−1, respectively.

The pressure responses of the vibrational frequencies of specific functional groups of the poly (ester urethane) in the 0–100-kbar range are compared with data for individual segment models and the partially degraded sample. The results indicated that the polymer is highly stable in this pressure regime, with no measurable degradation or phase changes. Differences in the pressure dependency of specific infrared bands between the poly (ester urethane) sample and the partially degraded sample are slight and consistent with changes in hydrogen-bonding interactions and shorter chain lengths in the degraded sample.

Its previous structural determination in complex with glycerol revealed probable bases for its efficient hydrolysis of both large, hydrophobic, and smaller, hydrophilic substrates. Here we report two further structures of PhoE complexes, to higher resolution of diffraction, which yield a better and thorough understanding of its catalytic mechanism. The environment of the phosphate ion in the catalytic site of the first complex strongly suggests an acid–base catalytic function for Glu83. It also reveals how the C-terminal tail ordering is linked to enzyme activation on phosphate binding by a different mechanism to that seen in Escherichia coli phosphoglycerate mutase. The second complex structure with an unusual doubly covalently bound trivanadate shows how covalent modification of the phosphorylable His10 is accompanied by small structural changes, presumably to catalytic advantage.When compared with structures of related proteins in the cofactor-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase superfamily, an additional phosphate ligand, Gln22, is observed in PhoE. Functional constraints lead to the corresponding residue being conserved as Gly in fructose-2,6-bisphosphatases and Thr/Ser/Cys in phosphoglycerate mutases. A number of sequence annotation errors in databases are highlighted by this analysis. B. stearothermophilus PhoE is evolutionarily related to a group of enzymes primarily present in Gram-positive bacilli. Even within this group substrate specificity is clearly variable highlighting the difficulties of computational functional annotation in the cofactor-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase superfamily.

In this contribution, void growth has been quantitatively characterized in an extruded 6061-wrought Al-alloy as a function of stress state in notch tensile test specimens. Digital image analysis and Stereology have been used to estimate the volume fraction and three-dimensional number density of voids in a series of interrupted notch tensile test specimens where the local stress state is predominantly triaxial. Finite elements (FE) simulations have been used to compute the stress states at different locations in the specimens. The computed stress states and experimentally estimated average void volume are utilized to verify analytical void growth models. Lack of agreement between the predictions of the models and the experimental data is due to interactions between neighboring voids, which are ignored in the theoretical models, and continuous void nucleation. The following empirical damage evolution equation is obtained from the experimental data on void volume fraction expressed as % (f), and the corresponding local equivalent plastic strain (ϵp) and stress triaxiality (I) computed from FE simulations: f=a+b ln[ϵp]+cI. In this equation, a, b and c are empirical constants whose values depend on the alloy chemistry, heat treatment, and microstructure. The equation is useful only for 6061(T6) Al-alloy.

The joint materials were applied by aerosol spraying, and thus the technique is suitable for commercial application. Superplastic deformation at 1200–1350 °C required ≤2 h to form fully dense joints in which minimal grain growth occurred.

Nuclear studies were prospectively classified as negative (normal/benign) or positive (suspicious/malignant) by two radiologists, blinded to mammographic and histologic results with both the conventional and high-resolution. All lesions were confirmed by pathology.Results: Included in this study were 30 benign and 28 malignant lesions. The sensitivity for detection of breast cancer was 64.3% (18/28) with the conventional camera and 78.6% (22/28) with the HRBGC. Specificity of both systems was 93.3% (28/30). In the 18 nonpalpable cancers, sensitivity was 55.5% (10/18) and 72.2% (13/18) with the general-purpose camera and HRBGC, respectively. In cancers ≤ 1cm, 7of 15 were detected with the general-purpose camera and 10 of 15 with the HRBGC. Four of the cancers (median size, 8.5 mm) detected with the HRBGC were missed by the conventional cameraConclusion: Evaluation of indeterminate breasts lesions with a high resolution, breast-specific gamma camera results in improved sensitivity for the detection of cancer with greater improvement demonstrated in nonpalpable and ≤1 cm cancers.

We compare two basic camera geometries containing the same volume of 511 keV photon detectors, one with a parallel plane geometry and another with a rectangular geometry. We find that both geometries have similar performance for the phantom imaged (in Monte Carlo simulation), even though the solid angle coverage of the rectangular camera is about 50% higher than the parallel plane camera. The reconstruction algorithm used significantly affects the resulting image; iterative methods significantly outperform the commonly used focal plane tomography. Finally, the characteristics of the tumor itself, specifically the absolute amount of radiotracer taken up by the tumor, will significantly affect the imaging performance.

The system, comprised of a mini gamma camera and digital X-ray detector, was designed to examine the possible clinical advantages of dual modality breast imaging in the management of patients with suspicious findings (BIRADS 3–5) from a screening mammogram. In addition, dynamic time–resolution studies of radiotracer uptake and washout were evaluated for their value in differentiation of lesion type. This preliminary report focuses on the development and implementation of these techniques and presents patient data as evidence of their effectiveness. The results of this study indicate that applying these techniques may significantly improve the diagnostic value of scintimammography by increasing specificity to 97.7% by differentiation of true positive and false positive lesions.

Since the experience in the clinical use of such instruments is limited, these experiments were conducted to test various clinical imaging implementations. Both planar and tomographic techniques were utilized to image various compressed and noncompressed breast phantoms. Lesion contrast was used to quantify the lesion visibility of each case. The results of this study indicate that lesion contrast is optimized with planar imaging of the compressed breast and that contrast is also dependent on lesion-to-detector distance. Based on these observations, planar imaging conducted with a system comprised of two opposed detectors providing compression to the breast would be optimal. The opposed views would ensure the minimization of lesion-to-detector distance, especially for lesions whose location is not known a-priori.

Fine droplets of the alloy were obtained by using a high pressure gas atomization technique. The recalescence effect within each droplet gives rise to non-steady state growth conditions that lead to a systematic variation in microstructure across the droplet. This variation in microstructure is quantitatively characterized first by determining the nucleation undercooling and then by measuring the spatial variation in microstructural scales within the droplet. The results are compared with theoretical models to obtain the interface velocity and interface undercooling as a function of distance from the apparent nucleation site in different sized droplets. Eutectic, dendritic and cellular microstructures have been observed in droplets and the presence of these different morphologies is explained by constructing a microstructure map for the Al-Si system. The volume fractions of these three microstructures, as well as the length scale of each microstructure, are shown to determine the properties of the material. Specifically, microhardness measurements have been carried out for different diameter droplets, and a minimum in the microhardness is observed that is related to the presence of different microstructures. A microstructure map is developed for the Al-Si system to establish regimes of alloy composition and undercooling (as related to droplet diameter) required for the design of materials with optimum mechanical properties.

To this end, x-ray and electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to study the evolution of phases, microstructure and texture of model exchange-spring bilayers of L10 - CoPt/Co upon annealing at temperatures ranging from 300–550 °C. The work was motivated by previously—detailed changes in the magnetic exchange coupling of the system induced by the annealing treatments . Unannealed CoPt/Co bilayers comprised a <111> fiber-textured L10 CoPt layer and a <0001> fiber-textured Co layer. The Co layer predominantly consisted of the hcp (A3) form, but contained a minority fcc (A1) phase. Annealing the bilayers at low temperatures (300–450 °C) or for short times resulted in a strengthening of the hcp Co <0001> fiber texture and disappearance of the minor fcc phase. By contrast, annealing at higher temperatures (450–550 °C) or for longer times resulted in the interdiffusion of the Co and CoPt layers and the formation of new Co-Pt solid solutions. One of these solid solutions was found to be hcp in structure, while the other was fcc. The amount of the fcc solid solution increased at the expense of the L10 CoPt, hcp Co and hcp Co-Pt solid solution phases as annealing time and temperature were increased.

Particular attention was also devoted to the characterization of the structure in grain interiors and in the vicinity of grain boundaries at Angstrom-level resolution in the as-deposited material and following compression, and to the real-time video-imaging of the evolution of dislocation activity and damage during deformation; these images are presented in this paper and in the web sites provided as supplementary material to this paper. These observations clearly reveal that dislocation-mediated plasticity plays a dominant role in the deformation of nanocrystalline Ni examined in this study. Fracture surface examination confirms dimpled rupture with the scale of the dimples being several times larger than the grain size. Dislocation emission at grain boundaries together with intragranular slip and unaccommodated grain boundary sliding facilitate the nucleation of voids at boundaries and triple junctions. Individual monocrystal ligaments, formed by the growth/linking of these voids, undergo extensive local plasticity to the extent that many of them neck down to a chisel point. These voids as well as those that may have existed prior to deformation can act as nucleation sites for dimples leading to fracture that does not occur preferentially along grain boundaries. The transmission electron microscopy observations of in situ and ex situ deformed specimens are synthesized to formulate a mechanistic framework that provides new insights into the mechanisms of flow and fracture in nanostructured metals.

In this work, the role of solid solution additions of ~13 at% W are considered with respect to the structure and mechanical properties of electrodeposited Ni alloys with grain sizes below 10 nm. Structure of the nanocrystalline alloys is analyzed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and related to the mechanical properties assessed by instrumented nanoindentation and nano-scratch experiments. The Ni-W alloys exhibit higher hardness and scratch resistance as compared to the finest pure nanocrystalline Ni alloys, although the contribution of solid solution strengthening from W is expected to be essentially negligible. The improved properties are therefore most likely due to the finer length scale available in multicomponent nanocrystalline alloys, and suggest that alloying may suppress the breakdown of Hall-Petch strengthening to finer grain sizes. Finally, the present data are shown to smoothly bridge the hardness-grain size trend between nanocrystalline Ni (grain size>10 nm) and amorphous Ni-based alloys.

The optical and non-linear optical properties were characterized. High-resolution spectroscopic measurements in either time domain or frequency domain were conducted. For undoped SBN thin films, a broad-band emission at UV and extending to the visible was observed by excitation at 355 nm. It is attributed to the exciton luminescence of the SBN host in the film. In degenerate four-wave-mixing (DFWM) measurements, a considerable enhancement of the third order susceptibility χ(3) by 2 orders of magnitude, in transverse alignment was obtained. High-resolution spectroscopic measurements in frequency domain were conducted at the temperatures varying from 270 K down to 2.3 K. The very well resolved fine structure of 5D0–7F multiplet emission was observed in the annealed sample. The hole-burning experiment shows a hole of width 100 MHz with depth as high as 30% with the laser pumping at 5774 A˚. It is suggested that Eu3+ ions may substitute Nb, occupying 6-fold sites.

While the structures of isolated domains are known, the challenge is to identify intersubunit interactions and thereby pack these domains into supramolecular structures. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, we have measured the amide hydrogen exchange protection factors for the soluble capsid protein (CA) and CA assembled in vitro. Comparison of the protection factors as well as chemical crosslinking experiments has led to a map of the subunit/subunit interfaces in the assembled tubes. This analysis provides direct biochemical evidence for the homotypic N domain and C domain interactions proposed from cryo-electron microscopy image reconstruction of CA tubes. Most significantly, we have identified a previously unrecognized intersubunit N domain–C domain interaction. The detection of this interaction reconciles previously discrepant biophysical and genetic data.

Wave functions of nucleons and charmed baryons involved in dissociation reactions result from a fit to mass splittings of baryons with spins 1/2 and 3/2 and 3/2. Transverse momentum and xF distributions of prompt J/ψ produced in 800 GeV/c p–Be collisions are calculated by using NRQCD dσ/dtˆ for parton–parton scatterings and taking into account initial transverse-momentum distributions of partons inside nucleons. We emphasize that the new dissociation cross sections of J/ψ, ψ′ and χcJ give rise to remarkable differences of J/ψ, ψ′ and χc suppressions at large negative xF in p–W collisions at √ of sNN=38.8 and 41.6 GeV and p–Au collisions at sNN=38.8 and 41.6 GeV and p–Au collisions at √ of sNN=130 GeV.

We concentrate on two specific models. The first is the massive Wess–Zumino model which we study in a self-consistent one-loop approximation. We find that for energy densities above a certain threshold, the fields are driven dynamically to a point in field space at which the fermionic component of the superfield is massless. The state, however, is found to be unstable, indicating a breakdown of the one-loop approximation. To investigate further, we consider an O(N) massive chiral model which is solved exactly in the large N limit. For sufficiently high energy densities, we find that for late times the fields reach a nonperturbative minimum of the effective potential degenerate with the perturbative minimum. This minimum is a true attractor for O(N) invariant states at high energy densities, and this provides a mechanism for determining which of the otherwise degenerate vacua is chosen by the dynamics. The final state for large energy density is a cloud of massless particles (both bosons and fermions) around this new nonperturbative supersymmetric minimum. By introducing boson masses which softly break the supersymmetry, we demonstrate a see-saw mechanism for generating small fermion masses. We discuss some of the cosmological implications of our results.

After isothermal exposure to 1150 °C for 100 h, the β phase in both types of coatings was transformed to a martensite phase during cooling to room temperature. Martensitic transformation was also observed in the (Ni,Pt)Al bond coat with and without a YSZ top layer after thermal cycling at 1150 °C (700 1-h cycles). The transformation took place due to Al depletion in the coating from the formation of the Al2O3 scale and interdiffusion between the coating and superalloy substrate. The effects of the martensitic transformation on coating surface stability (‘rumpling’) via volume changes during the phase transformation are discussed with regard to TBC failure.

In response to the increasing popularity of this technique, a ‘round-robin’ test has been initiated to compare methods of luminescence collection using different instruments as well as various spectral analysis methods. The interim results of this ‘round-robin’ are reported here with a series of PSLS measurements and analyses performed at four different laboratories on the same set of electron beam physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) TBC samples, having undergone various oxidation treatments. In addition, a set of standard electronic spectra (collected from one group) were circulated for analysis in order to compare the curve-fitting methods used by each group. Apart from sample variations, there was very good agreement between the results obtained in the different laboratories, and there were no systematic differences in the data, indicating that present collection and analysis methods are comparable.

Alloying DLC with refractory metals and other elements have been shown to be promising techniques to overcome some of the problems associated with pure DLC, such as excessive level of intrinsic stresses and high-temperature stability. The microstructure of DLC:Me in general consists of crystalline metal carbides dispersed in a DLC matrix. In contrary, DLC:Si has an amorphous structure. We have used filtered cathodic arc to prepare DLC:Si up to 6% Si, and have characterized their structure and bonding using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The effect of Si in changing the bonding configuration of the C network is discussed. The microstructure is then correlated to hardness and friction measured by nano-indentation and micro-wear.

Composition, structure and atomic short-range order were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), θ–2θ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of these coatings were characterized by instrumented nanoindentation and compared to those of B1-TiN. Our experiments show that the present series of Ti–Si–N coatings are nanocomposites, consisting of a nm-scale mixture of crystalline titanium nitride (TiN) and amorphous silicon nitride (a-Si:N). The hardness of the present series of Ti–Si–N coatings was found to be less than 32 GPa.

Friction tests were performed with uncoated steel balls against coated substrates at contact stresses of 1 GPa in ambient air (RH=30–40%), dry air (RH<1%), and dry nitrogen (<1%). The lowest friction coefficient (f<0.02) was obtained for the most hydrogenated sample in dry nitrogen, where the formation of a third-body layer was observed on the steel surface. Raman spectra obtained from the counterfaces after sliding in humid and dry air revealed an increase and narrowing of the ‘D’ and ‘G’ peaks with decreasing humidity. Analysis of peak positions and I(D)/I(G) ratios suggest an increasing order and an enlargement of the sp2 clusters under friction. The shape and position of the carbon K-edge spectra for the transfer layer are affected the same way, although evidence of extended graphite layer formation was not observed. Development of these differing trends was correlated with the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the gas precursor used during the synthesis and testing environment.

Water was also introduced into the vacuum chamber to elucidate its effects on DLC film tribology. The hydrogen-free DLC (also referred to as tetrahedral amorphous carbon, or ta-C) was produced by an arc-PVD process, and the highly hydrogenated DLC was produced by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition. Tribological measurements of these films were made with a pin-on-disc machine with coated steel balls and coated steel discs in matched pairs under a 1 N load. The ball/disk pairs were rotated at sliding speeds in the range of 0.025–0.075 m/s. In vacuum, the steady-state friction coefficient of ta-C was of the order of 0.6 and the wear was severe, whereas for the highly hydrogenated film, friction was below 0.01, and in an optical microscope no wear could be detected. Adding water vapor to the sliding ta-C system in a vacuum chamber caused friction to decrease monotonically from 0.6 to ≈0.07. In contrast, adding water vapor to the sliding DLC system caused the friction to increase linearly with pressure from 0.01 to 0.07. The results illustrate the importance of taking into account environmental conditions, especially the presence of water, when DLC films are being considered for a given application.

A critical question concerning these measurements is; what are the spatial properties of the source region that contributes to the observed three-dimensional moisture field? Traditional methods used to address footprint properties rely on point sensor time-series data and the assumption of Taylor’s hypothesis to transform temporal data into the spatial domain. In this paper, the analysis of horizontal source-area size is addressed from direct lidar-based spatial analysis of the moisture field, eddy covariance co-spectra, and a dedicated footprint model. The results of these analysis techniques converged on the microscale average source region of between 25 and 75 m under ideal conditions. This work supports the concept that the scanning lidar can be used to map small scale boundary layer processes, including riparian zone moisture fields and fluxes.

Here, we report the crystal structure of TTR complexed with its natural cofactor, acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA), to 1.55 A˚ resolution. The binary complex forms a characteristic “V” shape for substrate binding and contains the four motifs conserved in the GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) superfamily, which also includes the histone acetyltransferases (HATs). A single-step mechanism is proposed to explain the function of three conserved residues, Glu92, Asp130 and Tyr141, in catalyzing the acetyl group transfer to its substrate. We also report that TTR possesses HAT activity and suggest an evolutionary relationship between TTR and other GNAT members.

T1 - Simultaneous resolution of underivatized regioisomers and stereoisomers of arachidonate epoxides by capillary electrophoresis JO - Analytical Biochemistry JF - Analytical Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 313 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 106 SN - 00032697 AB - cis-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and their hydrolysis products (threo-DHETs) have been proposed to be endothelial-dependent hyperpolarizing factors (EDHFs) which upregulate blood flow when tissue perfusion is impaired. Various EET regioisomers and enantiomers are formed from arachidonate by inducible cytochrome P450 epoxygenase isoforms, and tissue EET profiles may vary with diet, time, and disease. Because EET actions and metabolism may be regio- and stereospecific, convenient methods to measure profiles of EET isomers in tissues are needed. In the current studies, we describe two simple capillary electrophoretic methods for resolving EETs. The first method involves capillary electrophoresis with a mixture of neutral and anionic β-cyclodextrins, which in one step baseline-resolves underivatized EET regioisomers and their enantiomers. Low picogram amounts of EET enantiomers were identified based on migration times and UV spectra. The method was also used to assess the antipode purity of EET standards, and to determine murine hepatic levels of EET enantiomers. The second method involves capillary electrochromatography, which also baseline-resolves underivatized EET and DHET regioisomers in one step. We conclude that in EET assays the major advantages of capillary electrophoresis over reversed-phase HPLC are improved peak efficiency, sensitivity, and resolution, plus precise coelution of deuterated and nondeuterated EETs.

JO - Catalysis Letters JF - Catalysis Letters Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 85 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 247 EP - 254 SN - 1011372X AB - CuO is used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in many chemical reactions that involve hydrogen as a reactant or product. A systematic study of the reaction of H2 with pure powders and films of CuO was carried out using in situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface science techniques. Oxide reduction was observed at atmospheric H2 pressures and elevated temperatures (150-300 °C), but only after an induction period. High temperature or H2 pressure and a large concentration of defects in the oxide substrate lead to a decrease in the magnitude of the induction time. Under normal process conditions, in situ time-resolved XRD shows that Cu1+ is not a stable intermediate in the reduction of CuO. Instead of a sequential reduction (CuO → Cu4O3 → Cu2O → Cu), a direct CuO → Cu transformation occurs. To facilitate the generation of Cu1+ in a catalytic process one can limit the supply of H2 or mix this molecule with molecules that can act as oxidant agents (O2, H2O). The behavior of CuO-based catalysts in the synthesis of methanol and methanol steam reforming is discussed in the light of these results.

A computational study, using a discrete particle method based on Molecular Dynamics techniques, has been carried out to explore the mechanisms underlying the formation of heterogeneous flow structures. Based on energy budget analyses, the impact of non-linear drag force on the flow structure formation in gas-fluidized beds has been examined for both ideal particles (elastic collision, without inter-particle friction) and non-ideal particles (inelastic collision, with inter-particle friction). Meanwhile, the separate role of inter-particle inelastic collisions, accounted for in the model via the restitution coefficient (e) and friction coefficient (μ), has also been studied.It is demonstrated that heterogeneous flow structures exist in systems with both non-ideal particle-particle interaction and ideal particle-particle interaction. The heterogeneous structure in an ideal system, featured with looser packing, is purely caused by the non-linearity of the gas drag: the stronger the non-linearity of the gas drag force with respect to the voidage, the more heterogeneous flow structures develop. A weak dependence of drag on the voidage produces a homogenous flow structure. Collisional dissipation dramatically intensifies the formation of heterogeneous flow structures after the system equilibrium breaks. Quantitative comparisons of flow structures obtained by using various drag correlations in literature will also be reported.

It follows a random bi bi kinetic mechanism and prefers bulkier substrates like long chain primary alcohols and glutathione adducts like s-hydroxymethylglutathione and GSNO over smaller alcohols like ethanol. The structure of the FDH·NAD(H) binary complex reported here, in conjunction with the other complexes of FDH, provide the structural basis of the kinetic observations. These structures show that the apoenzyme has a semi-open domain conformation that permits random random addition of alcohol or NAD(H). Moreover, there is no significant domain movement upon binding of the coenzyme or the substrate, 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid. Interestingly, two active site zinc coordination environments are observed in FDH. In the apoenzyme, the active site zinc is coordinated to Cys44, His66, Cys173 and a water molecule. In the FDH·NAD(H) binary complex reported here, Glu67 is added to the coordination environment of the active site zinc and the distance between the water molecule and zinc is increased. This change in the zinc coordination, brought about by the displacement of zinc of about 2 A˚ towards Glu67 could promote substrate exchange at the active site metal during catalysis.

These fractions were systematically characterized by fluorescence emission, three dimensional excitation-emission matrices, and synchronous-scan excitation spectroscopy in comparison with those of the reference International Humic Substances Society soil humic acid and Suwannee River fulvic acid. Results indicate that fluorescence spectroscopy can be useful to qualitatively differentiate not only NOM compounds from varying origins but also NOM subcomponents with varying compositions and functional properties. The polyphenolic-rich NOM-PP fraction exhibited a much more intense fluorescence and a red shift of peak position in comparison with the carbohydrate-rich NOM-CH fraction. Results also indicate that synchronous excitation spectra were able to provide improved peak resolution and structural signatures such as peak positioning, shift, and intensity among various NOM components as compared with those of the emission and excitation spectra. In particular, the synchronous spectral peak intensity and its red shift in the region of about 450–480 nm may be used to indicate the presence or absence of high molecular weight and polycondensed humic organic components, or the multicomponent nature of NOM or NOM subcomponents.

In comparison to conventional Monte Carlo analysis, this method quantifies the extent, dependence, and propagation of uncertainty through the model system and allows the correlation of uncertainties in specific parameters to the resulting uncertainty in detailed flame structure. For the homogeneous ignition chemistry of a hydrogen oxidation mechanism in supercritical water, spectral projection enhances existing Monte Carlo methods, adding detailed sensitivity information to uncertainty analysis and relating uncertainty propagation to reaction chemistry. For 1-D premixed flame calculations, the method quantifies the effect of each uncertain parameter on total uncertainty and flame structure, and localizes the effects of specific parameters within the flame itself. In both 0-D and 1-D examples, it is clear that known empirical uncertainties in model parameters may result in large uncertainties in the final output. This has important consequences for the development and evaluation of combustion models. This spectral formalism may be extended to multidimensional systems and can be used to develop more efficient “intrusive” reformulations of the governing equations to build uncertainty analysis directly into reacting flow simulations.

To simulate aquifer properties, such as logarithmic hydraulic conductivity (ln(K)) variations, fractional Brownian motion (fBm) and truncated fractional Levy motion (fLm) were suggested previously. In this paper, an efficient three-dimensional successive random additions (SRA) algorithm is presented to construct spatial ln(K) distributions. A convenient conditioning procedure using the inverse-distance-weighting method as a data interpolator, which forces the generated fBm or truncated fLm realization to go through known data points, is included also. The proposed method coded in the FORTRAN language, and a complementary code for verifying fractal structure in fBm realizations based on dispersional analysis, are validated carefully through numerical tests. These software packages allow one to go beyond the stationary stochastic process hydrology of the 1980s to the new geo-statistics of non-stationary stochastic processes with stationary increments, as embodied by the stochastic fractals fBm, fLm and their associated increments fGn and fLn.

These techniques all fall under the heading of ion-induced emission microscopy (I-IEM), and the first to be developed was ion-electron emission microscopy (IEEM). With I-IEM the ion beam is not focused, but instead, secondary particles emitted when a single-ion strikes the sample are projected at great magnification onto a high efficiency single particle detector generating position signals. These X and Y signals are then put into coincidence with other signals made by this same ion in a fashion completely analogous to traditional nuclear microprobe analysis. In this paper, we update the current state of I-IEMs, which currently includes IEEM and highly charged ion-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (HCI-SIMS or IIEM) and ion-photon emission microscopy. At the present time none of these microscopies have atomic resolution, but the potential exists for resolution adequate for many scientific and nanotechnology applications.

One such approach, structural genomics, aims to delineate the total repertoire of protein folds, thereby providing three-dimensional portraits for all proteins in a living organism and to infer molecular functions of the proteins. The goal of obtaining protein structures on a genomic scale has motivated the development of high-throughput technologies for macromolecular structure determination, which have begun to produce structures at a greater rate than previously possible. These new structures have revealed many unexpected functional and evolution relationships that were hidden at the sequence level.

The results show that robe concentrations in this area are mainly controlled by surface biological productivity, particle remineralization, and the degree of mixing with the Yangtze River and the Kuroshio waters. During the sampling periods (summer and autumn), the East China Sea was well stratified. Generally, the [sup 10]Be water depth profiles can be divided into three layers: the surface mixed layer, the particulate [sup 10]Be regeneration layer, and the bottom layer. Surface water robe concentrations increase gradually towards the Kuroshio and increase sharply at the edge of the Kuroshio Current. Vertical distributions of [sup 10]Be show that in the summer robe is enriched in the bottom water near the Yangtze River estuary and the bottom water in the middle of the continental shelf. The two enriched areas are separated, probably by an intrusion of the Continental Coastal Water. In the autumn, [sup 10]Be bottom enrichment only occurred in the western part of the East China Sea. This phenomenon is consistent with the seasonal circulation pattern change of currents induced by monsoon winds. The influence on robe by the Kuroshio branch intrusion in the southern East China Sea northeast of Taiwan may be more significant than the Kuroshio main flow. Simple box model results indicate that [sup 10]Be input from the Kuroshio Current is more important than Yangtze River input and atmospheric precipitation. About 81% of [sup 10]Be input to the East China Sea is scavenged into the sediments and 19% of [sup 10]Be flows out of the East China Sea by currents and water exchange. The [sup 10]Be sedimentation flux in the East China Sea is nearly five times of the average global robe production rate, suggesting that the East China Sea is an important sink for [sup 10]Be.

There is also a growing international consensus that the most cost-effective way to slow global warming is to establish international climate change trading programs that let institutions sell greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in an international trading program. A well designed international GHG trading program could save billions or tens of billions of dollars and could result in a more rapid transfer of cleaner, more modern energy generating, transmitting and using technologies to developing nations. Establishing an international GHG trading program will require the development of international consensus rules on how to value and credit investments, for example in energy efficiency, that result in reduced emissions of greenhouse gases. Such a program would require the development of an international technical agreement on how to value emissions reductions attributed to energy-efficiency investments that reflect realistic estimates of future energy savings—and emissions reductions—that come from those investments. This paper examines five possible approaches for valuing energy savings which might serve as the basis for an international agreement, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, and discusses lessons learned from conducting this evaluation process.

The fields of energy management and risk management are thus intertwined. While many technical methods have emerged to manage performance risks (e.g. building diagnostics and commissioning), financial methods are less developed in the energy management arena than in other segments of the economy. Energy-savings insurance (ESI)—formal insurance of predicted energy savings—transfers and spreads both types of risk over a larger pool of energy efficiency projects and reduces barriers to market entry of smaller energy service firms who lack sufficiently strong balance sheets to self-insure the savings. ESI encourages those implementing energy-saving projects to go beyond standard measures and thereby achieve more significant levels of energy savings. Insurance providers are proponents of improved savings measurement and verification techniques, as well as maintenance, thereby contributing to national energy-saving objectives. If properly applied, ESI can potentially reduce the net cost of energy-saving projects by reducing the interest rates charged by lenders, and by increasing the level of savings through quality control. Governmental agencies have been pioneers in the use of ESI and could continue to play a role.

SN - 0364152X AB - In addition to national inventories of emissions of greenhouse gases, there are inventories for most, but not all, states constituting the United States. This paper analyzes the state inventories to see if reported emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are additive. Considerable reanalysis of the state inventories is required before they can be added to yield a larger-scale inventory. Some specific sources were considered by some states but not by others. Estimation techniques evolved over time as inventories were produced, and there are instances of both double-counting (two states reporting the same emission) and omission (neither state reporting the same emission), where interstate transfers of energy or materials occurred. Nevertheless, the inventories, when adjusted for obvious double-counting or omissions, are probably approximately additive, although it is difficult to quantify the extent to which this is true.

SN - 14346044 AB - The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. Due to the different initial states, the Higgs production and decay channels relevant for Higgs boson searches are different at hadron colliders compared to LEP2. We suggest new benchmark scenarios for the MSSM Higgs boson search at hadron colliders that exemplify the phenomenology of different parts of the MSSM parameter space. Besides the mhmax scenario and the no-mixing scenario used in the LEP2 Higgs boson searches, we propose two new scenarios. In one scenario the main production channel at the LHC, gg → h, is suppressed over a wide part of the MA-tan Β-plane. In the other scenario, important Higgs decay channels at the Tevatron and at the LHC, h → bb and h → τ+τ- can be suppressed. All scenarios fulfill the LEP2 constraints for nearly the whole MA-tan Β-plane.

A pilot scale packed column was utilized for the experiments. It was shown that fractionation at low pressure, 138 Bar, and high temperature, 80 °C, effectively removed free fatty acids from crude rice bran oil without any oryzanol loss in the extract fraction. Oryzanol content of the raffinate fraction was three times higher than that of the feed material. Phytosterol fatty acid ester content of the raffinate fraction was also increased during the deacidification process, however the enrichment of these moieties was not as high as that found for oryzanol.

A special class of wall-stabilized high-β high-bootstrap fraction low-aspect-ratio tokamak equilibrium are analyzed with respect to MHD stability, bootstrap current and external current drive, poloidal field system requirements, power and particle exhaust and plasma operating regime. Overall systems optimization leads to a choice of aspect ratio A=1.6, plasma elongation κ=3.4, and triangularity δ=0.64. The design value for the plasma toroidal β is 50%, corresponding to βN=7.4, (based on the toroidal β, not the total β) which is 10% below the ideal stability limit. The bootstrap fraction of 99% greatly alleviates the current drive requirements, with tangential neutral beam injection mainly for profile control and rotation drive. The design is such that 45% of the thermal power is radiated in the plasma by Bremstrahlung and trace Krypton, with Neon in the scrapeoff layer radiating the remainder. The scarcity of spherical torus experimental data caused the design to be based largely on theoretical predictions, some of which may turn out to be overly optimistic. This highlights the need for a strong experimental research program in this area.

The ARIES-ST power core was designed to accommodate the unique features of an ST power plant, to meet the top-level requirements of an attractive fusion energy source, and to minimize extrapolation from the fusion technology database under development throughout the world. The result is an advanced helium-cooled ferritic steel blanket with flowing PbLi breeder and tungsten plasma-interactive components. Design improvements, such as the use of SiC inserts in the blanket to extend the outlet coolant temperature range were explored and the results are reported here. In the final design point, the power and particle loads found in ARIES-ST are relatively similar to other advanced tokamak power plants (e.g. ARIES-RS [Fusion Eng. Des. 38 (1997) 3; Fusion Eng. Des. 38 (1997) 87]) such that exotic technologies were not required in order to satisfy all of the design criteria. Najmabadi and the ARIES Team [Fusion Eng. Des. (this issue)] provide an overview of ARIES-ST design. In this article, the details of the power core design are presented together with analysis of the thermal–hydraulic, thermomechanical and materials behavior of in-vessel components. Detailed engineering analysis of ARIES-ST TF and PF systems, nuclear analysis, and safety are given in the companion papers .

The ARIES-ST power plant includes a water-cooled copper centerpost. The first wall and shield are made of low activation ferritic steel and cooled with helium. The blanket is also made of ferritic steel with SiC inserts and Li17Pb83 breeder. The divertor plate is made of low activation ferritic steel and uses a tungsten brush as plasma facing component. The power plant has a lifetime of 40 full power years (FPY). However, the centerpost, first wall, inboard shield and blanket were assumed to be replaced every 2.86 FPY. Neutron transmutation of copper resulted in the production of several nickel, cobalt and zinc isotopes. The production of these isotopes resulted in an increase of the time-space average electrical resistivity of the centerpost by about 6% after 2.86 FPY. All of the plant components met the limits for disposal as Class C low-level waste. The off-site doses produced at the onset of an accident are caused by the mobilization of the radioactive inventory present in the plant. Analysis of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) indicated that the centerpost would reach a maximum temperature of about 1000 °C during the accident. In the meantime, the first wall and shield would reach a maximum temperature of about 800 °C. A similar divertor LOCA analysis indicated that the front tungsten layer would also reach a maximum temperature of about 800 °C. The calculated temperature profiles and available oxidation-driven volatility experimental data were used to calculate the dose at the site boundary under conservative release conditions. The current design produces an effective whole body early dose of 1.88 mSv at the site boundary. In addition, a divertor disruption would only produce an effective whole body early dose of 7.68 μSv at the site boundary.

Design considerations included fabricability, assembly, maintenance, energy efficiency, and structural robustness. Design options were identified early in the process. Trade studies were carried out to identify preferred choices. Design points were re-optimized based on the design choices in the TF and other systems. An attractive design for the ARIES-ST TF coil system evolved. This design addresses a number of the concerns (complexity) and criticisms (high cost, high recirculating power) of fusion. It does this by: applying advanced, but available laser forming and spray casting techniques for manufacturing the TF coil system; adopting a simple single turn TF coil system to make assembly and maintenance much easier. The single turn design avoids the necessity of using the insulation as a structural component of the TF coils, and hence, is much more robust than multi-turn designs; using a high conductivity copper alloy and modest current densities to keep the recirculating power modest.

Because of the large plasma current and the need of highly shaped plasmas, the poloidal field (PF) coils should be located inside the toroidal field in order to reduce their current. Even then, the divertor coils carry large currents. The ARIES-ST PF coils are superconducting using the internally cooled cable-in-conduit conductor. The peak self field in the divertor coils is about 15 T and the highest field in the non-divertor coils is about 6 T. The PF magnets have built-in margins that are sufficient to survive disruptions without quenching. The costing study indicates that the specific cost of the PF system is $80/kg. Detailed design and trade-off studies of ARIES-ST are presented and remaining R&D issues are identified.

These include hydrodynamics, radiation transport, magnetohydrodynamics, diffusion, and collisional kinetic plasmas. At the beginning of each time step in QDSMC, the weights and abscissas of Gaussian-Hermite quadrature are used to deterministically create particles to sample the random process. At the end of the time step, particles are gathered to the computational mesh to obtain updated distributions of conserved quantities on the mesh and then the particles are destroyed. The creation and destruction of particles allows arbitrary dynamical range to be accessed quiescently with only a small number of particles per computational cell. The application of QDSMC to the simulation of Coulomb collisions is considered in this report, and the method is demonstrated on problems involving the collisional relaxation of non-Maxwellian distributions.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2003/02//Feb2003 Part 1 VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 67 SN - 00933813 AB - The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, is designed to assess the potential of the low-aspect-ratio spherical torus concept for magnetic plasma confinement. The plasma has been heated by up to 7 MW of neutral beam injection (NBI) at an injection energy of 100 keV and up to 6 MW of high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) at 30 MHz. NSTX has achieved βT of 32%. A variety of MHD phenomena have been observed to limit β. NSTX has now begun addressing TE scaling, β limits, and current drive issues. During the NBI heating experiments, a broad Ti profile with Ti up to 2 keV, Ti > Te and a large toroidal rotation were observed. Transport analysis suggests that the impurity ions have diffusivities approaching neoclassical. For L-Mode plasmas, TE is up to two times the ITER97L L-Mode scaling and exceeds the ITER98pby2 H-Mode scaling in some cases. Transitions to H-Mode have been observed which result in an approximate doubling of TE after the transition in some conditions. During HHFW heating, Te > Ti and Te up to 3.5 keV were observed. Current drive has been studied using both coaxial helicity injection with up to 390 kA of toroidal current and HHFW. HHFW has produced H-modes with significant bootstrap current fraction at low Ip, high q, and high βp.

To investigate how the TL/CD8αα interaction influences TCR signaling, we characterized the structure of the TL/CD8αα complex using X-ray crystallography. Unlike antigen-presenting molecules, the TL antigen-binding groove is occluded by specific conformational changes. This feature eliminates antigen presentation, severely hampers direct TCR recognition, and prevents TL from participating in the TCR activation complex. At the same time, the TL/CD8αα interaction is strengthened through subtle structure changes in the TL α3 domain. Thus, TL functions to sequester and redirect CD8αα away from the TCR, modifying lck-dependent signaling.

The residual strain along the c -axis (the growth direction) was evaluated with conventional X-ray diffraction. Evaluation of the in-plane strain was accomplished with grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction. The unit cell of the STO film on LAO substrate had an orthorhombic structure with a coexistence of compressive strain along a -axis and tensile strain along b -axis. The film on an MgO substrate was tetragonal, stretched along the c -axis and compressed in-plane . The elemental composition of the samples was investigated using an INCA system for X-ray elemental analysis attached to a Hitachi S-4300 SEM. A comparison of the residual strain and stoichiometric ratio between as-deposited films and films annealed for four hours at 1100°C in flowing oxygen is presented.

The analysis treats the chemistry at two levels: a global species balance assuming complete reaction and solution of the equilibrium composition at the specified reformer temperature. The global reaction allows for an energy balance that leads to analytical expressions for the thermal efficiency. We use this to determine the maximum efficiency, and to distinguish between various definitions of efficiency.To obtain a more realistic estimate of the efficiency, the chemical equilibrium solution is combined with a system energy balance, which compares the energy required to vaporize and heat the fuel–steam mixture to the reformer temperature with the heat available from combusting the residual fuels in the reformate stream. The equilibrium solutions are compared to experimental measurements of the species and thermal efficiency of reforming diesel fuel, obtained with prototype compact steam reformers. The observed efficiency is significantly lower than the equilibrium prediction, indicating that both incomplete reaction and heat transfer losses reduce the performance.

SN - 01640291 AB - We examined recruitment of trees whose seeds are dispersed by black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) in forest fragments within the Community Baboon Sanctuary in north-central Belize. In the fragments, most other large frugivores are absent and howlers dominate the large frugivore community. Consequently, we expected to observe an increased representation of howler fruit trees among the sapling community. To test this prediction preliminarily we observed howler feeding behavior for one year and conducted adult tree and sapling transects in 6 locations where howlers were present. We sampled a seventh site where howlers were absent for vegetation only. We found that in 4 of 6 sites there were proportionately fewer howler fruit saplings when compared to adult tree samples. However, when recruitment of howler fruit trees in the 6 sites was compared to a site where howlers were absent, 11 of 12 species had relatively higher recruitment. The lack of recruitment among howler fruit trees in general likely reflects differences in responses of individual species, as well as disruptions from human activities to natural processes within the forests. The observed lower recruitment patterns of howler trees suggest that over time, the abundance of the trees will likely decline and thus affect the foraging behavior and possibly survival of howlers in the fragmented forests.

A new moment closure method, the Jacobian matrix transformation (JMT), is introduced and shown to provide an efficient procedure for evolving quadrature abscissas and weights directly and in closed form. For special growth laws where analytic results are available for comparison, the QMOM is also found to be exact. The JMT implementation of the QMOM is used to explore the asymptotic behavior of coagulating aerosols at long time. Nondimensional reduced moments are constructed, and found to evolve to constant values in excellent agreement with estimates derived from ‘self-preserving’ distributions previously obtained by independent methods. Our findings support the QMOM as a new tool for rapid, accurate simulation of the dynamics of an evolving internally mixed aerosol population, including the approach to asymptotic behavior at long time, in terms of lower-order moments.

SN - 09498257 AB - The pancreas secretes primarily two types of metabolically important proteins: digestive enzymes and hormones. Lithostathine (LIT) is the only protein excreted from the pancreas that has no known digestive or hormonal activity. Human lithostathine is a 144-amino acid glycoprotein synthesized by the exocrine pancreas that has been implicated in various physiological functions, including inhibition of pancreatic stone formation. To better understand the physiological function of LIT, we expressed the recombinant LIT protein in Escherichia coli and measured its calcium binding properties by equilibrium dialysis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Equilibrium dialysis with 45Ca2+ showed that LIT binds Ca2+ with 1:1 stoichiometry. EPR studies using the divalent vanadyl (VO2+) ion as a paramagnetic substitute for Ca2+ also showed that VO2+ binds to LIT with a metal:protein binding stoichiometry of 1:1 and that VO2+ competes with Ca2+ in binding to LIT. Mutations of a cluster of acidic residues on the molecular surface (E30A, D31A, E33A, D37A, D72A, and D73A) resulted in almost complete loss (95–100%) of binding of Ca2+ and VO2+, showing that these residues are critical for calcium binding by LIT.

In this study we investigate, by means of numerical simulation, the transport of radioactive colloids under ambient conditions from the potential repository horizon to the water table. The site hydrology and the effects of the spatial distribution of hydraulic and transport properties in the Yucca Mountain subsurface are considered. The study of migration and retardation of colloids accounts for the complex processes in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, and includes advection, diffusion, hydrodynamic dispersion, kinetic colloid filtration, colloid straining, and radioactive decay. The results of the study indicate that the most important factors affecting colloid transport are the subsurface geology and site hydrology, i.e., the presence of faults (they dominate and control transport), fractures (the main migration pathways), and the relative distribution of zeolitic and vitric tuffs. The transport of colloids is strongly influenced by their size (as it affects diffusion into the matrix, straining at hydrogeologic unit interfaces, and transport velocity) and by the parameters of the kinetic-filtration model used for the simulations. Arrival times at the water table decrease with an increasing colloid size because of smaller diffusion, increased straining, and higher transport velocities. The importance of diffusion as a retardation mechanism increases with a decreasing colloid size, but appears to be minimal in large colloids.

Two types of Nd–Fe–B powders were included in this study. One is the conventional melt spun powder of irregular shape, the other is the atomized powder of spherical morphology. It was found that the tensile strength varies significantly with both test temperature and morphology of Nd–Fe–B powder. For a fixed volume fraction of magnet powder, the tensile strength decreases with increasing temperature. For bonded magnets made of melt spun powder, the tensile strength increases with increasing volume fraction of magnet powder. Specimens made of spherical atomized powders exhibit much lower tensile strength and better flexibility when compared to those made of melt spun powder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis indicated that the debonding at the Nd–Fe–B powder and Nylon interface is the main cause of failure at 23°C and 100°C. At −40°C, a different failure mechanism with the fracture of Nd–Fe–B particle was observed on magnets prepared from melt spun powders. For the specimen containing 59.7 vol% of melt spun powder, a bending strength of 41 MPa and dynamic Young''s modulus of 12.7 GPa were obtained.

The possibility of formation of thermal tempering stresses during the processing of these bulk metallic glass (BMG) specimens was investigated using two models: (i) instant freezing model, and (ii) viscoelastic model. The first one assumed a sudden transition between liquid and elastic solid at the glass transition temperature. The second model considered the equilibrium viscosity of BMG. Both models yielded similar results although from vastly different approaches. It was shown that convective cooling of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 plates with high heat transfer coefficients could potentially generate significant compressive stresses on the surfaces balanced with mid-plane tension. The crack compliance (slitting) method was then employed to measure the stress profiles in a BMG plate that was cast in a copper mold. These profiles were roughly parabolic suggesting that thermal tempering was indeed the dominant residual stress generation mechanism. However, the magnitude of the measured stresses (with peak values of only about 1.5% of the yield strength) was significantly lower than the modeling predictions. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are described in relation to the actual casting process and material properties. The extremely low residual stresses measured in these BMG specimens, combined with their high strength and toughness, serve to further increase the advantages of BMGs over their crystalline metal counterparts.

The crack velocity was measured using the double-cleavage-drilled compression method. In contrast to other inorganic oxide glasses, crack growth velocities (in region I) were found to decrease with increase in temperature. Hence a small temperature rise has the apparent effect of improving the mechanical strength of a stressed-glass part. Despite the anomalous temperature dependence, SCG in fused silica is still likely governed by the established water-enhanced stress–corrosion mechanism; another competing phenomenon is proposed to cause the observed temperature dependence. Measured crack velocities are described using an empirical model (for region I) and a mass-transport model limited by Knudsen diffusion (for region II).

The bare SiC shell was prepared by laser drilling the TRISO particle and leaching away the core and C. The exposed shell was measured with an X-ray probe having a size of approximately 1×3 μm2 on beamline 2-ID at the Advanced Photon Source. The trace element distribution in the SiC shell was reconstructed after correcting the data for artifacts arising from absorption and experimental restrictions. The trace elements were found in small (<2 μm) regions through the SiC shell and appear to have been introduced during fabrication. X-ray fluorescence microtomography is an ideal tool for this work because it is a penetrating non-destructive probe with good sensitivity to high Z trace elements in a low Z matrix and because it provides a picture of the elemental distribution in the shell.

Conversely it is predicted that ruthenium can be soluble in UO2+x although in irradiated fuel the extent of ruthenium solution will depend on the total concentration of fission products compared to the oxygen interstitial ion concentration. Second phase oxide particles such as BaRuO3 and RuO2 are not predicted to be stable. At all stoichiometries activation energies for migration are high.

The net emission can be expressed as a symmetric non-local thermodynamic-equilibrium response-matrix. This connection is extended to models used in hydrodynamic codes to simulate laser–plasma interactions. A new, exact and, general formula is obtained for the response-matrix and an analytic proof is given, that is symmetric in the context of collisional-radiative rate equations. To go beyond the near-LTE response-matrix, a response-tensor can be considered that generalizes the response matrix.

Long-range G-type antiferromagnetic order is realized for all samples apart from that with δ=0.5. The lack of magnetic order for δ=0.5 can be understood on the basis of a crystal-field-induced spin-state ordering between low-spin and high-spin Co3+. Contrary to studies of similar materials with smaller lanthanides, the δ=0 material exhibits no evidence of long-range charge ordering. No evidence of a spin-state transition as observed in YBaCo2O5 is found for any of our samples.

The modeling focused on addressing issues with regard to the effectiveness of laser-based techniques in defect localization in state-of-the-art metallization schemes. Modeling results indicate that indirect heating from the laser does not propagate effectively through adjacent metal layers from both the front side and the back side. Poor heat conduction and its associated thermal spreading during laser heating make defect detection difficult beyond three levels of metal. Thermal distribution and spreading were found to be more affected by interconnect geometries than by variations in laser spot size. Smaller temperature rises during laser heating were observed in the newer interconnect structures consisting of copper and low-k dielectric materials than in those with conventional aluminum, tungsten, and silicon dioxide. The smaller temperature rise leads to weaker signal strength at the defect sites and makes it more difficult to detect defects in the newer-material structures. Metallization density also affects heat conduction in advanced interconnect systems but the temperature rise during laser heating varies slowly as a function of metallization density.

We used a dominant-negative mutant of a subunit of CAF-I, a complex that assembles newly synthesized DNA into nucleosomes, to inhibit S phase chromatin assembly and found that this induced S phase arrest. Arrest was accompanied by DNA damage and S phase checkpoint activation and required ATR or ATM kinase activity. These results show that in human cells CAF-I activity is required for completion of S phase and that a defect in chromatin assembly can itself induce DNA damage. We propose that errors in chromatin assembly, occurring spontaneously or caused by genetic mutations or environmental agents, contribute to genome instability.

The three station system provides space points along each track in the spectrometer arms at mid-rapidity and covers a total area of 88 m2. Its main functions are to provide the track coordinate along the beam and to ensure reliable pattern recognition at very high particle multiplicity. A new concept for two dimensional wire chamber readout via its finely segmented cathode was developed. The full readout system, comprising 172 800 electronic channels, is described together with the challenging design of the chambers. The electronics, mounted on the outer chamber face, together with the chamber itself amounts to 1.2% of a radiation length. Results from cosmic ray tests, showing an average efficiency better than 99.5% for all chambers are presented. The experiences from the full scale operation in the first run are reported.

Two-step γ-cascade spectra have been calculated, using level densities and radiative strength functions from the (3He,αγ) reaction. The calculations show that the intensity of the two-step cascades depends on the electromagnetic character of the soft dipole resonance under study. The difference reaches 40–100% which can be measured experimentally.

Is there a similar gain in identification of variables at their upper bounds? In this context, we study finite termination procedures in interior-point methods for linear programs with bounded variables. To prevent the computed solution from violating the bound constraints, one approach incorporates nearest bound information into a projection model through an affine scaling transformation. Using Tapia indicators, we identify variables in the active set, remove them from the subproblem, and solve a lower dimensional projection problem. Numerical evidence suggests that identifying and removing the variables at their upper bounds from the optimal face identification problem plays a more important role in finite termination procedures than the choice of affine scaling transformation.

MP has been standardized with MPI, and is the more common and mature approach; however, code development can be extremely difficult, especially for irregularly structured computations. SAS offers substantial ease of programming, but may suffer from performance limitations due to poor spatial locality and high protocol overhead. In this paper, we compare the performance of and the programming effort required for six applications under both programming models on a 32-processor PC-SMP cluster, a platform that is becoming increasingly attractive for high-end scientific computing. Our application suite consists of codes that typically do not exhibit scalable performance under shared-memory programming due to their high communication-to-computation ratios and/or complex communication patterns. Results indicate that SAS can achieve about half the parallel efficiency of MPI for most of our applications, while being competitive for the others. A hybrid MPI+SAS strategy shows only a small performance advantage over pure MPI in some cases. Finally, improved implementations of two MPI collective operations on PC-SMP clusters are presented.

The superconducting transition temperature is 22 K (17 K lower than in pure MgB2). The temperature dependence of the upper critical field is steeper than in pure MgB2 with Hc2(10 K)≈9 T. Temperature dependent specific heat data taken in different applied magnetic fields suggest that the two-gap nature of superconductivity is still preserved for carbon doped MgB2 even with such a heavily suppressed transition temperature. In addition, the anisotropy ratio of the upper critical field for T/Tc≈2/3 is γ≈2. This value is distinct from 1 (isotropic) and also distinct from 6 (the value found for pure MgB2).

For definiteness we use the attractive Hubbard model. Near a surface, the order parameter and the density distribution exhibit “Friedel-like” oscillations. Although the local density of states is quite different from that in the bulk, the energy gap in the spectrum on a surface is almost the same as the bulk value. In the low-density limit, however, the energy gap tends to vanish on a surface.

Using these objects we derive an analogue of the Ka´rma´n–Howarth equation, that arises due to lack of mirror-reflection-symmetry in isotropic flows. The main equation we obtain is consistent with the results of Chkhetiani [JETP 63 (1996) 768] and L’vov et al. [Exact result for the 3rd order correlations of velocity in turbulence with helicity, 1997. http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/chao-dyn/9705016] but is derived using only velocity correlations, with no direct consideration of the vorticity or helicity. This alternative formulation offers an advantage to both experimental and numerical measurements. We also postulate, under the assumption of self-similarity, the existence of a hierarchy of scaling exponents for helical velocity correlation functions of arbitrary order, analogous to the Kolmogorov prediction for the scaling exponents of velocity structure function.

(2000b) Trends Biotechnol. 18: 506; Melis et al. (2000) Plant Physiol. 122: 127]. The current work focuses on (a) the effects of different initial extracellular pHs on the inactivation of photosystem II (PSII) and O2-sensitive H2-production activity in sulfur-deprived algal cells and (b) the relationships among H2-production, photosynthetic, aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms under different pH regimens. The maximum rate and yield of H2 production occur when the pH at the start of the sulfur deprivation period is 7.7 and decrease when the initial pH is lowered to 6.5 or increased to 8.2. The pH profile of hydrogen photoproduction correlates with that of the residual PSII activity (optimum pH 7.3–7.9), but not with the pH profiles of photosynthetic electron transport through photosystem I or of starch and protein degradation. In vitro hydrogenase activity over this pH range is much higher than the actual in situ rates of H2 production, indicating that hydrogenase activity per se is not limiting. Starch and protein catabolisms generate formate, acetate and ethanol; contribute some reductant for H2 photoproduction, as indicated by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea and 2,5-dibromo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone inhibition results; and are the primary sources of reductant for respiratory processes that remove photosynthetically generated O2. Carbon balances demonstrate that alternative metabolic pathways predominate at different pHs, and these depend on whether residual photosynthetic activity is present or not.

SN - 0032079X AB - Lead immobilization in 10 soils contaminated with Pb from different origin was examined using lime (CaCO3), a mix of cyclonic ash and steelshots (CA+ST), and a North Carolina phosphate rock. The immobilization efficacy of the three amendments was evaluated using single (CaCl2solution) and sequential (BCR method) chemical extractions in tandem with a microbiological Pb biosensor (BIOMET), a Pb phytotoxicity test, Pb plant uptake, and a Physiologically Based Extraction Test (PBET) mimicking Pb bioavailability in the human gastro-intestinal tract. The results demonstrated the necessity of using a diverse suite of bioavailability methodology when in situ metal immobilization is assessed. Sequential (BCR) extractions and PBET analysis indicated that PR was the most effective amendment. PR however, proved ineffective in totally preventing Pb phytotoxicity and Pb uptake on all soils tested. On the contrary, CA+ST and lime decreased BIOMET Pb, Pb phytotoxicity, and Pb uptake to a far greater extent than did PR. BIOMET detectable Pb and Pb uptake, however, were strongly related to Pb in soluble or exchangeable soil fractions (i.e., CaCl2 extractable). By combining these fractions with the acid-extractable Pb, accomplished by using acetic acid extractant, the recently developed BCR sequential extraction scheme appeared to have lost some valuable information on judging Pb bioavailability. The data show that different amendments do not behave consistently across different soils with different sources of contamination. Different indices for measuring Pb bioavailability are also not necessarily consistent within particular soil and amendment combinations.

Recently, the procedures used by the group at the Australian National University (ANU) for the hydro-isostatic component of the theory have been questioned (Quat. Sci. Rev. 21 (2002) 409) although the details of the ANU group''s procedures have not been published because they are mainly computational in nature rather than representing significant conceptual advances. Because of this criticism, we set out here in detail the procedures that have been used for the treatment of the migration of shorelines as sea levels rise and fall, the effect of retreat and advancing grounded ice on shelves and shallow seas, and the transitions from grounded to floating ice (and vice versa). We conclude that there is no basis for the criticism, that these formulations and their implementation provide a high resolution and complete description of both sea-level change and of the estimates of volumes of ice exchanged with the oceans. The results from this formulation are confirmed by the entirely independent analyses of Milne et al. (Quat. Sci. Rev. 21 (2002) 361) and Mitrovica and Milne (Geophys. J. Int. (2002), submitted for publication) who conclude that our formulation is significantly more accurate than the procedure advocated by Peltier (Science 265 (1994) 195; Rev. Geophys. 36 (1998a) 603, Geophys. Res. Lett. 25 (1998b) 3955).

Contributions to the full-energy peak by multiple scattering of gamma rays preceding the photoelectric interaction were tabulated. The applicability of the commonly used straight-line relationship in logarithmic coordinates to plot intrinsic efficiency versus energy was tested for 14 detectors with widely different dimensions. Published empirical equations for predicting efficiency versus energy on the basis of detector volume were compared with simulation results. An equation that appears to be applicable to a wider range of volumes was obtained. The development of this equation makes it possible to evaluate the efficiencies of detectors with a wide range of volumes without necessitating direct measurement.

Phosphorescence spectra of the three samples are nearly identical with maxima at 527, 488, 451, and 422 nm. However, onset of strong optical absorption near 300 nm in PESU and MDI precludes observation of the corresponding fluorescence spectrum. In contrast, DPM exhibits weaker absorption with onset occurring near 270 nm. Consequently, its fluorescence spectrum is revealed and characterized by maxima at 302, 294, 286, and 279 nm. From these data we derive the energy-level diagram for PESU and show that phosphorescence is due to electronic transitions between the first excited triplet and singlet ground states (T1→S0), whereas fluorescence transitions occur between both first and second excited singlet and ground states (S1→S0, and S2→S0). The experimentally derived values are in good agreement with previously published theoretical values for the electronic excited states of PESU.

T1 - Comparison of cancer risk estimates based on a variety of risk assessment methodologies JO - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP JF - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 37 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 SN - 02732300 AB - The EPA guidelines recommend a benchmark dose as a point of departure (PoD) for low-dose cancer risk assessment. Generally the PoD is the lower 95% confidence limit on the dose estimated to produce an extra lifetime cancer risk of 10% (LTD10). Due to the relatively narrow range of doses in two-year bioassays and the limited range of statistically significant tumor incidence rates, the estimate of the LTD10 is constrained to a relatively narrow range of values. Because of this constraint, simple, quick estimates of the LTD10 can be readily obtained for hundreds of rodent carcinogens from the Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) of Gold et al. Three estimation procedures for LTD10 are described, using increasing information from the CPDB: (A) based on only the maximum tolerated dose (the highest dose tested); (B) based on the TD50; and (C) based on the TD50 and its lower 99% confidence limit. As expected, results indicate overall similarity of the LTD10 estimates and the value of using additional information. For Method (C) the estimator based on the [{(TD50)0.36×(LoConf)0.64}/6.6] is generally similar to the estimator based on the one-hit model or multistage model LTD10. This simple estimate of the LTD10 is applicable for both linear and curved dose responses with high or low background tumor rates, and whether the confidence limits on the TD50 are wide or tight. The EPA guidelines provide for a margin of exposure approach if data are sufficient to support a nonlinear dose–response. The reference dose for cancer for a nonlinear dose–response curve based on a 10,000-fold uncertainty (safety) factor from the LTD10, i.e., the LTD10/10,000, is mathematically equivalent to the value for a linear extrapolation from the LTD10 to the dose corresponding to a cancer risk of <10−5 (LTD10/10,000). The cancer risk at <10−5 obtained by using the q1* from the multistage model, is similar to LTD10/10,000. For a nonlinear case, an uncertainty factor of less than 10,000 is likely to be used, which would result in a higher (less stringent) acceptable exposure level.

Use of this methodology can be limited when there are inadequate pre-clinical toxicity data or lack of a well-defined therapeutic dose, and does not include pharmacokinetic considerations. Although some methods have been developed that incorporate pharmacokinetics, these methods do not take into consideration variability in response. The purpose of this study was to investigate how application of compartmental pharmacokinetic modeling could be used to assist in the derivation of OELs based on target blood concentrations in humans. Quinidine was used as the sample compound for the development of this methodology though the intent was not to set an OEL for quinidine but rather to develop an alternative approach for the determination of OELs. The parameters for the model include body weight, breathing rate, and chemical-specific pharmacokinetic constants in humans, data typically available for pharmaceutical agents prior to large scale manufacturing. The model is used to simulate exposure concentrations that would result in levels below those that may result in any undesirable pharmacological effect, taking into account the variability in parameters through incorporation of Monte Carlo sampling. Application of this methodology may decrease some uncertainty that is inherent in default approaches by eliminating the use of safety factors and extrapolation from animals to humans. This methodology provides a biologically based approach by taking into consideration the pharmacokinetics in humans and reported therapeutic or toxic blood concentrations to guide in the selection of the internal dose-metric.

Sources include surface erosion from cultivated, pasture and steep forested land as well as subsoil erosion from channels and gullies. We determine these contributions to the <10 μm fraction of deposited sediments. Concentrations of P were higher in the surface soils of each landuse than the underlying subsoils, and erosion from these contributed more to offsite sediment-P (∼60%) than did subsoil erosion at the individual landuse scale. At the catchment outlet, the amount of surface sediment eroded from cultivated lands was a factor of ∼84 higher than from pastures; the steep forested lands contributed ∼9 times more than pastures. Sed-P eroded from cultivated land was ∼42 times higher than from pasturelands; the forests were ∼8 times greater than from pastures. At the catchment outlet the largest contribution of sediment (∼70%) and sed-P (∼62%) was from subsoil erosion of gullies and channels within and between the different landuse areas. There was little contribution of sediment or sed-P at the catchment scale from surface erosion of pastures. Concentrations of P were highest in ‘storm event’ suspended sediment samples taken from the pasture and cultivated areas without gullies. In a suite of samples selected for their high P contents, fertiliser P was detected in two storm event suspended sediment samples and one deposited sediment sample, using the ratio of Nd/P. This suggests fertiliser P may be transported-off landsurfaces with sediments and contribute to offsite sediment-P concentrations in some situations. However, the fertiliser contributions were episodic and variable; and probably influenced by particle size selectivity as well as timing of fertiliser application with respect to size and occurrence of subsequent rainfall.

One calibration method is the component summation, where the pyranometers are calibrated outdoors under clear sky conditions, and the reference global solar irradiance is calculated as the sum of two reference components, the diffuse and subtended beam solar irradiances. The beam component is measured with pyrheliometers traceable to the World Radiometric Reference, while there is no internationally recognized reference for the diffuse component. In the absence of such a reference, we present a method to consistently calibrate pyranometers for measuring the diffuse component with an estimated uncertainty of ±(3% of reading+1 W/m2). The method is based on using a modified shade/unshade method, and pyranometers with less than 1 W/m2 thermal offset errors. We evaluated the consistency of our method by calibrating three pyranometers four times. Calibration results show that the responsivity change is within ±0.52% for the three pyranometers. We also evaluated the effect of calibrating pyranometers unshaded, then using them shaded to measure diffuse irradiance. We calibrated three unshaded pyranometers using the component summation method. Their outdoor measurements of clear sky diffuse irradiance, from sunrise to sundown, showed that the three calibrated pyranometers can be used to measure the diffuse irradiance to within ±1.4 W/m2 variation from the reference irradiance.

We use the behavior of the 44 cm−1 spin gap excitation and the 98 cm−1 zone-folding mode structure to investigate the interaction between the magnetic system and the lattice distortion. We find that interchain impurity substitution collapses the spin gap before it suppresses the lattice dimerization, a result that is understood in terms of the relative length scales for lattice distortion and spin singlet formation as well as criteria for magnetoelastic coupling in chains.

It is a complex between a toxic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and a non-toxic and catalytically inactive protein, stabilizing the enzyme and reducing the activity and toxicity. Structure–function relationships in this complex were studied by spectroscopic methods. A good correlation between the ionization behaviour and accessible surface area (ASA) of the tyrosyl residues was observed. In the toxic PLA2 subunit phenolic groups participate in H-bonding network that stabilizes the catalytically and pharmacologically active conformation. The tryptophan fluorescence decay of Vipoxin is well fitted by two exponentials with lifetimes of 0.1 (54%) and 2.5 (46%) ns. W20P, W31P and W31I are located in the interface between the two subunits and participate in hydrophobic interactions stabilizing the complex. Dissociation of the complex leads to a transition of the tryptophans from hydrophobic to hydrophilic environment, which influences mainly τ2. The longer lifetime is more sensitive to the polarity of the environment. Circular dichroism measurements demonstrate that the two components of the neurotoxin preserve their secondary structure after dissociation of the complex. The results of the spectroscopic studies are in accordance with a mechanism of blockade of transmission across the neuromuscular junctions of the breathing muscles by interaction of a dissociated toxic PLA2 with a membrane. The loss of toxicity is connected with slight changes in the secondary structure of PLA2. CD studies also show a substantial contribution of disulfide bonds to the stability of the neurotoxic complex and its components.

Growth rate observations at different Mn concentrations, coupled with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, suggest that the resulting phase is Mn0.5Ca0.5CO3. These islands, while growing many microns in length along the [2 1] direction, have a uniform width in the range of 120–240 nm and a uniform height of approximately 2.7 nm, corresponding to nine atomic layers. The islands cease growing when they encounter step edges and have been observed to dissolve when undercut by a growing etch pit.Comparison of the crystal lattices of calcite and Mn0.5Ca0.5CO3 indicates that [2 1] is the direction of preferred growth. A glued-wetting-layer model with a condition of constant surface chemical potential has been used to model the observed cross section of the heteroepitaxial layer. Although not all the required parameters are accurately known, the model accurately depicts the measured profiles of the islands.

CCl4 was found to dissociate on the Fe3O4 surface at 100 K producing chemisorbed Cl and adsorbed CCl2. TPD shows that the large majority of the dissociatively adsorbed CCl2 fragments extract lattice oxygen and desorb as phosgene at >275 K. However, the XPS spectra show no evidence for the formation of surface-bound phosgene, at 100 K, indicating that its formation involves two steps. The first step, dissociation, is spontaneous at 100 K, whereas the second, oxygen atom abstraction to form phosgene, requires thermal excitation. Cl chemisorption yielded two separate species, the mono- and dichloride terminations of surface iron sites. The identification of these two surface terminations is based on the coverage dependence and the surface temperature history of their Cl 2p3/2 peak intensity. For example, heating to >450 K allows the monochloride to transform into iron dichloride, indicating Cl adatom mobility at these temperatures.

Female 129/SvJ metallothionein-knockout (MT1,2KO) and metallothionein-normal (MTN) mice received drinking water containing trace amounts of 109CdCl2 (0.15 ng Cd/ml; 0.074 μCi 109Cd/ml). 109Cd and MT in maternal, fetal, and pup tissues were measured on gestation days 7, 14, and 17 and lactation day 11. In dams, MT influenced both the amount of 109Cd transferred from intestine into body (two- to three-fold higher in MT1,2KO than MTN dams) and tissue-specific 109Cd distribution (higher liver/kidney ratio in MT1,2KO dams). Placental 109Cd concentrations in MT1,2KO dams were three- and seven-fold higher on gestation days 14 and 17, respectively, than in MTN dams. Fetal 109Cd levels were low in both mouse types, but at least 10-fold lower in MTN fetuses. MT had no effect on the amount of 109Cd transferred to pups via milk; furthermore, 85–90% of total pup 109Cd was recovered in gastrointestinal tracts of both types, despite high duodenal MT only in MTN pups. A relatively large percentage of milk-derived intestinal 109Cd was transferred to other pup tissues in both MT1,2KO and MTN pups (14 and 10%, respectively). These results demonstrate that specific sequestration of cadmium by both maternal and neonatal intestinal tract does not require MT. Although MT decreased oral cadmium transfer from intestine to body tissues at low cadmium exposure levels, MT did not play a major role in restricting transfer of cadmium from dam to fetus via placenta and to neonate via milk.

T1 - Identification of an abnormal beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 183 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 39 SN - 0300483X AB - The potential hazards from exposure to beryllium or beryllium compounds in the workplace were first reported in the 1930s. The tritiated thymidine beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT) is an in vitro blood test that is widely used to screen beryllium exposed workers in the nuclear industry for sensitivity to beryllium. The clinical significance of the BeLPT was described and a standard protocol was developed in the late 1980s. Cell proliferation is measured by the incorporation of tritiated thymidine into dividing cells on two culture dates and using three concentrations of beryllium sulfate. Results are expressed as a ‘stimulation index’ (SI) which is the ratio of the amount of tritiated thymidine (measured by beta counts) in the simulated cells divided by the counts for the unstimulated cells on the same culture day. Several statistical methods for use in the routine analysis of the BeLPT were proposed in the early 1990s. The least absolute values (LAV) method was recommended for routine analysis of the BeLPT. This report further evaluates the LAV method using new data, and proposes a new method for identification of an abnormal or borderline test. This new statistical–biological positive (SBP) method reflects the clinical judgment that: (i) at least two SIs show a ‘positive’ response to beryllium; and (ii) that the maximum of the six SIs must exceed a cut-point that is determined from a reference data set of normal individuals whose blood has been tested by the same method in the same serum. The new data is from the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge (Y-12) and consists of 1080 workers and 33 non-exposed control BeLPTs (all tested in the same serum). Graphical results are presented to explain the statistical method, and the new SBP method is applied to the Y-12 group. The true positive rate and specificity of the new method were estimated to be 86% and 97%, respectively. An electronic notebook that is accessible via the Internet was used in this work and contains background information and details not included in the paper.

Monte Carlo simulations are conducted across a series of simplified artificial realities completely described by the Gardner-Russo parametric model. The mean values of properties are varied between simulations to elucidate the relationship between true properties and prediction errors. Hydraulic properties are reestimated by simulating tension infiltrometer measurements in the presence of small simple errors. Two types of observation error are considered, along with one inversion-model error resulting from poor contact between the instrument and the medium. Errors in the spatial statistics of hydraulic properties cause critical stochastic model assumptions to be violated, limiting the usable parameter space for model predictions. Even where critical assumptions are valid, stochastic model predictions show significant error, and the magnitude and pattern of error changes with the true property means, the flow conditions, and the type of measurement error. Mean velocities may show errors up to an order of magnitude. The velocity variance is overestimated by up to three orders of magnitude during 3D flow and eight orders of magnitude during 1D flow. The 1D velocity integral scale is underestimated by as much as five orders of magnitude. The estimates for 1D longitudinal macrodispersivity are surprisingly robust and show relatively small error across most of the parameter space.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a 113-kDa protein that catalyzes the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) on target proteins. Both Ku and PARP-1 recognize and bind to DNA ends. Ku functions in the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway whereas PARP-1 functions in the single strand break repair and base excision repair (BER) pathways. Recent studies have revealed that PARP-1 and Ku80 interact in vitro. To determine whether the association of PARP-1 and Ku80 has any physiological significance or synergistic function in vivo, mice lacking both PARP-1 and Ku80 were generated. The resulting offspring died during embryonic development displaying abnormalities around the gastrulation stage. In addition, PARP-1−/−/Ku80−/− cultured blastocysts had an increased level of apoptosis. These data suggest that the functions of both Ku80 and PARP-1 are essential for normal embryogenesis and that a loss of genomic integrity leading to cell death through apoptosis is likely the cause of the embryonic lethality observed in these mice.

The mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis makes use of the baryon number anomaly and relies on physics that can be tested experimentally. It is today understood that, if the Higgs mass is not larger than 120 GeV, this mechanism may be effective within supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In this work, we reconsider the question of baryon number generation at the electroweak phase transition within the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. We derive the relevant diffusion equations, give a consistent definition of the sources, and compare our results with those appearing in the recent literature on this subject.

JO - Nuclear Physics B JF - Nuclear Physics B Y1 - 2003/02/03/ VL - 650 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 391 SN - 05503213 AB - In models with universal extra dimensions (i.e., in which all Standard Model fields, including fermions, propagate into compact extra dimensions) momentum conservation in the extra dimensions leads to the conservation of Kaluza–Klein (KK) number at each vertex. KK number is violated by loop effects because of the orbifold imposed to reproduce the chiral Standard Model with zero modes, however, a KK parity remains at any order in perturbation theory which leads to the existence of a stable lightest KK particle (LKP). In addition, the degeneracy in the KK spectrum is lifted by radiative corrections so that all other KK particles eventually decay into the LKP. We investigate cases where the Standard Model lives in five or six dimensions with compactification radius of TeV−1 size and the LKP is the first massive state in the KK tower of either the photon or the neutrino. We derive the relic density of the LKP under a variety of assumptions about the spectrum of first tier KK modes. We find that both the KK photon and the KK neutrino, with masses at the TeV scale, may have appropriate annihilation cross sections to account for the dark matter, ΩM∼0.3.

This structure leads to special properties and a multitude of changes are caused by differing thermal and mechanical histories. Temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) and related thermal analysis techniques which can separate equilibrium and non-equilibrium responses within a sample are ideal for the analysis of such systems. A surprising observation in the last 5 years has been that there are some local, reversible ordering and disordering processes within this overall metastable aggregate. Three different reversible processes with latent heats have been identified and will be discussed using the example of polyethylene crystals: (1) The formation of larger concentrations of defects within the crystals. (2) The melting of small, paraffin-like crystals existing within the metastable arrangement. (3) The reversible, partial melting of chains at high-temperature which avoids molecular nucleation.

The analyses were by standard differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and quasi-isothermal, temperature-modulated DSC, TMDSC. Small sample masses were examined with temperature amplitudes from 0.05 to 2.5 K, using periods of 60 s. The supercooling decreases with molar mass for all three types of samples. The melting varied between fully irreversible, reversing, and largely reversible. There are no major differences in supercooling between extended- and folded-chain crystals. Due to conformational contributions, all crystals increase their heat capacities within the melting range from the level set by the vibrational spectrum to that of the liquid.

The mean temperature was controlled by the calorimeter operating in the standard DSC mode. The additional power transferred to the specimens is obtained by infra-red diodes with their mean power controlled by a pulse-width modulation method. This method allows to synthesize sinusoidal temperature-profiles with negligible distortion with frequencies of up to 0.125 Hz. The experiments were carried out using multi-frequency temperature-profiles composed by superposition of four sinusoidal modulations of periods of 243, 81, 27, and 9 s, which cover the frequency range from the 1st to the 27th harmonic. To study the kinetics in the glass transition region, the thermal history was produced by cooling the samples at different rates. The results and the advantages of the new method are discussed and compared to a series of less-precise separate single-frequency analyses.

In such a scenario, the scalar condensation may acquire fluctuation during the inflation which becomes a new source of the cosmic density perturbations. In particular, the primordial fluctuation of the scalar condensation may induce correlated mixture of the adiabatic and isocurvature fluctuations. If the scalar condensation decays before it completely dominates the universe, the CMB angular power spectrum may significantly deviate from the conventional adiabatic result. Such a deviation may be observed in the on-going MAP experiment.

Four, presumably triaxial, strongly deformed (TSD) bands have been found in this nucleus. Several transitions linking an excited TSD band (TSD2) to the lowest (yrast) TSD band (TSD1) were observed. The electromagnetic properties of the connecting transitions have been investigated. Evidence for the assignment of TSD2 as a wobbling mode built on TSD1 is presented. This assignment is based on comparisons of the experimental data to theoretical calculations. The wobbling mode of excitation is an unambiguous signal of a stable triaxial deformation associated with these bands.

(1) The large differences in the level density near ground for N=Z odd–odd nuclei as compared to N=Z+2. In order to investigate this question, our treatment of np pairing is extended to include configurations in which one or more nucleon orbitals are blocked. (2) The splitting of the 0+ (T=1) and 1+ (T=0) states in odd–odd N=Z nuclei, as a function of the relative T=0 pairing interaction strength. (3) The effect of np pairing on superallowed β+-decay. A systematic cancellation is found, always giving a slight reduction relative to the no pairing value, implying an increase of 1% in the intrinsic β+ amplitude. This cancellation explains the fact that all superallowed Fermi β+/(electron capture) decays have log(ft) values that are virtually identical, independent of the level density at the Fermi level. Results are presented for these three issues using two systems with very different single particle level densities near the Fermi level.

In the present work, we describe a technique for the quantitative experimental study of grain boundary network topology, with an emphasis on the connectivity of special and random grain boundaries. Interconnected grain boundary networks, or “clusters”, of either entirely random or entirely special boundaries are extracted from electron backscatter diffraction data on a Ni-base alloy, and characterized according to their total normalized length (their “mass”), as well as their characteristic linear dimensions. The process of grain boundary engineering, involving cycles of straining and annealing, is found to substantially reduce the mass and size of random boundary clusters. Furthermore, quantitative assessment of the boundary network topology shows that the special grain boundary fraction is a poor predictor of network topology, but that the higher-order correlation derived from triple junction distributions can successfully describe the length scales of random boundary clusters.

The analysis was undertaken by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray texture, tensile tests and analytical modeling. The Cu-25wt%Ag is described by two components in the model: (1) eutectic component which is a composite of nanosized Cu and Ag (2) proeutectic Cu component embedded with Ag nano-fibers formed below the eutectic temperature. In both cast and forged samples, the Cu and Ag always have cube-on-cube orientation relationship in proeutectic component, but they have the orientation relationship only in selected eutectic areas. The orientation relationship maintains the same in cast, forged and drawn Cu-Ag materials only in proeutectic regions. The deformation enhances the tensile strength of the materials by decreasing the size of various Cu and Ag phases in the radial direction of the wire in both components.

These can be influenced by modification of spraying parameters. Among the most important parameters are the deposition temperature, particle temperature and velocity and deposition rate. Using the in situ thermo-elastic curvature method described in Part 1 of this paper, their effects on the stresses and moduli of plasma sprayed molybdenum were investigated. The results for quenching, thermal, and residual stresses as well as Young’s moduli are presented and discussed with respect to the spraying parameters and material properties. The most influential factors are determined and means for property modification using this technique are described. The development of the in situ approach along with the ability to measure elastic modulus and residual stresses enables capturing the quality and integrity of the deposit. This will allow for future downstream process control based on materials characteristics.

Theoretical investigations have yielded simple heuristics to describe the π electron distribution in complex PAHs, but systematic experimental support is lacking. Here, we show that using the novel approach of carbon K-edge X-ray Raman spectroscopy (XRRS), carbon type in PAHs can be probed directly. Our unique detector has enabled application of XRRS on PAHs and asphaltenes. XRRS results directly support the powerful ‘aromatic sextet’ description of PAHs. Also, XRRS is shown to establish geometries of aromatic ring systems in asphaltenes, a complex natural carbonaceous material.

T1 - Reduction of NOx in synthetic diesel exhaust via two-step plasma-catalysis treatment JO - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental JF - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental Y1 - 2003/02/10/ VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 207 SN - 09263373 AB - Significant reduction of NOx in synthetic light duty diesel exhaust has been achieved over a broad temperature window by combining atmospheric plasma with appropriate catalysts. The technique relies on the addition of hydrocarbon reductant prior to passing the simulated exhaust through a non-thermal plasma and a catalyst bed. The observed chemistry in the plasma includes conversion of NO to NO2 as well as the partial oxidation of the hydrocarbon. The overall NOx reduction has a maximum of less than 80%, with this maximum obtained only at high-energy input into the plasma, high concentration of hydrocarbon reductant and low space velocity. We present data in this paper illustrating that a multiple-step treatment strategy, whereby two or more plasma-catalyst reactors are utilized in series, can increase the maximum NOx conversion obtainable. Alternatively, this technique can reduce the energy and/or hydrocarbon requirements for a fixed conversion efficiency. When propene is used as the reductant, the limiting reagent for the overall process is most likely acetaldehyde. The data suggest that acetaldehyde is formed in concert with NO oxidation to NO2 in the plasma stage. The limited NOx reduction efficiency attained in a single step, even with excess energy, oxygen content and/or hydrocarbon-to-NOx ratio is well explained by this hypothesis, as is the effectiveness of the multiple-step treatment strategy. We present the data here illustrating the advantage of this approach under a wide variety of conditions.

This process is notoriously difficult to model, given the complexity of the turbulent boundary layer and chemistry of the three-phase interface (air, liquid, solid) typically found at the land surface. Wind tunnel studies have demonstrated the importance of resuspension within a short time after deposition, but there exists no robust model for short-term resuspension. Numerical simulations of accidental or terrorist releases of hazardous materials need such a model to accurately predict fate and transport of the materials within hours to days after release. Many accepted conventional models were derived from resuspension data for aged sources, such as former weapons test sites; these data sets, and the associated models, may not be appropriate for short-time resuspension. The study described here reexamined historical wind tunnel data on short-term resuspension, with the goal of developing a model appropriate for numerical simulations. Empirical models are derived from these data using a suite of parameters (friction velocity, particle diameter, surface roughness, particle density, and time). These empirical models, and the wind tunnel data, are compared quantitatively with existing conventional models from the literature. The conventional models underpredict short-time resuspension, resulting in order-of-magnitude errors in predictions of resuspended mass. Only three models perform reasonably well: the empirical models derived from the data and an adaptation of the NCRP 129 model. More data are needed to validate the empirical models and build the physical understanding of the processes involved.

The “Hadron Hose” is a wire located in the meson decay volume, downstream of the target and focusing horns. The wire is pulsed with high current to provide a toroidal magnetic field which continuously focuses mesons. The hose increases the neutrino event rate and reduces differences between near- and far-field neutrino spectra for oscillation experiments. We have studied this device as part of the development of the Neutrinos at the Main Injector project, but it might also be of use for other conventional neutrino beams.

We compare the equations for Lagrangian vortex filaments with their corresponding Eulerian vorticity dynamics in the examples of the Euler fluid, superfluid vortices, the local induction approximation (LIA), the Rosenhead regularization and a new class of alternative regularized theories including the Euler-alpha model. The RRDB formulation generalizes the Betchov–Da Rios equation for the transverse self-induction velocity of a vortex filament from LIA to the case of an incompressible fluid whose energy may expressed as an arbitrary functional of spatial vorticity. We also discuss the relation of RRDB to the Marsden–Weinstein bracket for vortex filaments and its implications under the Hasimoto transformation for physically meaningful nonlocal nonlinear Schro¨dinger (NLNLS) equations.

A significant elliptic flow is generated only over time scales on the order of the system size R. The flow is dominated by soft modes pT∼Λs/4 which linearize at very late times τ∼R≫1/Λs.

Here we examine whether a simple nonlocal field theory can violate CPT. We construct a new relativistic field theory of fermions, which we call “homeotic”, which is nonlocal but causal and Lorentz invariant. The free homeotic theory is in fact equivalent to free Dirac theory. We show that a homeotic theory with a suitable nonlocal four-fermion interaction is causal and as a result has a well-defined perturbative S-matrix. By coupling a right-handed homeotic fermion to a left-handed Dirac–Weyl fermion, we obtain a causal theory of CPT-violating neutrino oscillations.

The quasi-sequential episodes of Bz < < 0 and high dynamic pressure (10–50 nPa) allow a clean separation of their respective geoeffects. Ring current evolution is followed by the kinetic model of Jordanova et al. (1998), which includes both charge exchange and Coulomb collisions of ring current ions H+, He+ and O+ drifting in a Volland-Stern convection electric field. The overall agreement with the temporal variation of the Dst is very good, but the strength of the great storm (min Dst = -280 nT) with its rapid main phase is not reproduced fully. A very asymmetric ring current forms near minimum Dst with maximum energy density located at dusk for all ion species. The data show evidence of (a) a great geomagnetic storm; (b) large enhancements of magnetopause currents; (c) substorm onsets, some of which were triggered; (d) a convection reversal boundary at relatively low latitudes (60–65°); and (e) what might be omega bands at morning local times associated with substorm recovery. An unprecedented measurement at Halley Bay station of an approximately 10% change in the ambient magnetic field strength is related to a sharp 5-fold increase in the dynamic pressure and to a large (≈50 nT) variation in IMF Bz [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Advances in Space Research is the property of Pergamon Press - An Imprint of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Automated sample preparation method for suspension arrays using renewable surface separations with multiplexed flow cytometry fluorescence detection JO - Analytica Chimica Acta JF - Analytica Chimica Acta Y1 - 2003/02/15/ VL - 478 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 SN - 00032670 AB - In this paper, we describe a new method of automated sample preparation for multiplexed biological analysis systems that use flow cytometry fluorescence detection. In this approach, color-encoded microspheres derivatized to capture particular biomolecules are temporarily trapped in a renewable surface separation column to enable perfusion with sample and reagents prior to delivery to the detector. This method provides for separation of the biomolecules of interest from other sample matrix components as well as from labeling solutions. After sample preparation, the beads can be released from the renewable surface column and delivered to a flow cytometer for direct on-bead analysis one bead at a time. Using mixtures of color-encoded beads derivatized for various analytes yields suspension arrays for multiplexed analysis. Development of this approach required a new technique for automated capture and release of the color-encoded microspheres within a fluidic system. We developed a method for forming a renewable filter and demonstrate its use for capturing microspheres that are too small to be easily captured in previous flow cells for renewable separation columns. The renewable filter is created by first trapping larger beads in the flow cell, and then smaller beads are captured either within or on top of the bed of larger beads. Both the selective microspheres and filter bed are automatically emplaced and discarded for each sample. A renewable filter created with 19.9 μm beads was used to trap 5.6 μm optically encoded beads with trapping efficiencies of 99%. The larger beads forming the renewable filter did not interfere with the detection of color-encoded 5.6 μm beads by the flow cytometer fluorescence detector. The use of this method was demonstrated with model reactions for a variety of bioanalytical assay types including a one-step capture of a biotinylated label on Lumavidin beads, a two-step sandwich immunoassay, and a one-step DNA binding assay. A preliminary demonstration of multiplexed detection of two analytes using color-encoded beads was also demonstrated. The renewable filter for creating separation columns containing optically encoded beads provides a general platform for coupling renewable surface methods for sample preparation and analyte labeling with flow cytometry detectors for suspension array multiplexed analyses.

SN - 16182642 AB - We investigated the effect of humic acid and solution pH on the uptake of the radionuclides, 83Rb, 137Cs, 54Mn, 65Zn, 88Y, 102Rh, and 75Se in rice plants by the multitracer technique. The addition of humic acid to a culture medium containing SiO2 increased the uptake of Mn and Zn at pH 4.3, whereas their uptake was decreased at pH 5.3. Humic acid depressed the uptake of Y at both pHs. The uptake of Se, which does not interact with humic acid, was not affected by its presence. These results suggest that uptake of the radionuclides by the rice plant is regulated by the affinity of radioactive nuclides for humic acid, as well as by the soil solution's pH.

Here we present a chemical technique to oxidize amino acid side chains in a model protein, apomyoglobin, and subsequent elucidation of the effect of solvent accessibility on the sites of oxidation. Under conditions of low protein oxidation (zero to three oxygen atoms added per apomyoglobin molecule), we have positively identified five oxidation sites by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and high-resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometry. Our results indicate that all oxidized amino acids, with the exception of methionine, have highly solvent-accessible side chains, but the rate of oxidation may not be dictated solely by solvent accessibility and amino acid identity.

Annealing the sample at 250 °C does not remove the oxide layer but simply changes the oxide composition from a Nb2O5-dominated layer to a Nb2O-dominated one through oxygen diffusion. The latter is stable in ultrahigh vacuum and metallic in nature. For oxygen diffusion into the bulk at 250 °C, estimations are made of the composition of the oxygen-enriched metal layer and the density change of this layer due to interstitial oxygen. Room temperature re-oxidation of the annealed surface follows similar kinetics as the oxidation of as-etched surfaces. Nb2O5 is simply re-generated in the existing oxide layer by inward oxygen diffusion starting out from the oxide surface. It is demonstrated that the electric field-assisted, Cabrera–Mott mechanism operates in the initial Nb surface oxidation. Its effectiveness diminishes quickly as the insulating oxide layer grows over 3 nm. The existing electric field is evidenced by the shifts in the binding energy of Nb2O5 towards that of Nb metal, indicating a potential drop across the oxide.

T1 - Uranium-series chronology of Gorda Ridge volcanism: new evidence from the 1996 eruption JO - Earth & Planetary Science Letters JF - Earth & Planetary Science Letters Y1 - 2003/02/15/ VL - 206 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 459 SN - 0012821X AB - We present new uranium-series plagioclase and glass data for the 1996 eruption of the North Gorda Ridge. The glass data provide a more accurate estimate of ‘zero-age’ disequilibria for use in external isochron dating than was previously available. Furthermore, plagioclase–glass 226Ra–230Th disequilibria delimit the degree of initial fractionation of radium from barium during crystal growth, with effective DRa/DBa ∼0.25–0.5. These data are inconsistent with the common assumption that DRa=DBa but are qualitatively consistent with theoretical model predictions that radium and barium should be fractionated during crystallization, with DRa/DBa∼0.2. In more detail, differences between model predictions and data could be explained by an extreme combination of model and data uncertainties, but more likely suggest suppression of efficient fractionation during rapid crystallization. We also assess the extent to which use of barium as an analog for radium would result in underestimating 226Ra–230Th disequilibria produced during melting. Effects of a lower value of DRa on most melting models are small, with a slight increase in the porosity or melt fraction for a given value of 226Ra/230Th. The new plagioclase data also indicate that plagioclase accumulation and assimilation in the crustal reservoir would have only a negligible effect on mantle-derived 226Ra–230Th disequilibria. External isochron ages from U–Th, U–Pa, and Th–Ra data calculated using initial disequilibria from the 1996 sample are concordant, with one exception. Anomalously young ages for off-axis samples most likely reflect volcanism up to 1 km off-axis. Radium ages for near-axis dredge samples for other areas of the North Gorda Ridge generally range from 2000 to 4000 yr, similar to calculated steady-state eruptive periodicity of 3000 yr for this ridge segment. However, comparison of radium excesses for the 1996 eruption and a nearby older lava suggests that recent volcanism at this site occurs with relatively short-lived (0.1×106 to 2.76×106 Pa). When the hydrogen partial pressure exponent value was constrained to a value of 0.5, the permeability was described by an Arrhenius-type relation where the pre-exponential constant and activation energy for this correlation were 1.92×10-7 mol/(m s Pa0.50) and 13.81 kJ/mol, respectively. These Arrhenius values were in good agreement with prior low-pressure correlations.However, the hydrogen flux results of this study were most accurately represented by an Arrhenius permeability expression where 3.21×10-8 mol/(m s Pa0.62), 13.41 kJ/mol, and 0.62 represent the pre-exponential constant, activation energy of permeation and permeability driving force, respectively. Although the partial pressure exponent value of 0.62 was slightly greater than the commonly accepted value of 0.5 (atmospheric and sub-atmospheric pressure studies), the optimal exponent value in this study decreased as the upper limit of pressure employed in the database was reduced. Therefore, the deviation in the partial pressure exponent with increasing hydrogen pressure may be attributed to variances in the product of the diffusion coefficient and Sieverts constant at elevated pressures.

Partially disulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (BPSH) copolymers were prepared by direct aromatic nucleophilic copolymerization and solution-blended with a commercial HPA, phosphotungstic acid. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy band shifts showed that sulfonic acid groups on the polymer backbone interact with both bridging tungstic oxide and terminal tungstic oxide in the phosphotungstic acid molecule, indicative of an intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between the copolymer and the HPA additive. The composite membranes generally exhibited a low HPA extraction after water vapor treatment, except for the 60 mol% disulfonated BPSH where significant HPA extraction from the composite membrane occurred because of excessive matrix swelling. The composite membrane not only had good thermal stability (decomposition temperature in nitrogen >300 °C), but also showed improved mechanical strength and lower water uptake than the unfilled membranes possibly due to the specific interaction. The composite membranes displayed good proton conductivity especially at elevated temperatures (e.g. 130 °C). For example, fully hydrated membranes consisting of 30 wt.% HPA and 70 wt.% BPSH with 40 mol% disulfonation had a conductivity of 0.08 S/cm at room temperature which linearly increased up to 0.15 S/cm at 130 °C. In contrast, the pure copolymer had a proton conductivity of 0.07 S/cm at room temperature only reached a maximum conductivity of 0.09 S/cm, most probably due to dehydration at elevated temperatures. The dehydration process was monitored by dynamic infrared spectra by observing the intensity reduction of the sulfonate group and distinctive changes of shape in the hydroxyl vibrations as the sample was heated. Combining infrared results with dynamic thermogravimetric data showed that the composite membrane had much higher water retention from 100 to 280 °C than the pure sulfonated copolymer. Those results suggested that the incorporation of HPA into these proton conducting copolymers should be good candidates for elevated temperature operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Application to operating fuel cells at high temperatures is now being investigated.

In this study, MD simulations were used to investigate the structural and physical properties of a binary zinc phosphate glass series, xZnO · (100−x)P2O5, (40⩽x⩽70) where x is the mole percent modifier. A newly developed forcefield model incorporating Coulombic, plus two- and three-body interactions was employed, with the model parameters being empirically derived from known zinc–phosphate crystal structures. This zinc–phosphate forcefield model was used to perform MD calculations of densities, glass transition temperatures, Tg, average coordination numbers (CN) radial distribution functions, G(r), and pair distribution function, g(r), as a function of Zn concentration. In addition, the effects of computational quenching rates on the simulated densities were also investigated. Overall, the MD simulation results revealed the presence of long-range order in the form of rings and chains near the metaphosphate composition. These extended range structures disappeared beyond the metaphosphate composition, becoming isolated non-bridging phosphate tetrahedron as the Zn concentration approached the pyrophosphate composition. The MD simulations also revealed that the average Zn CN was invariant across the entire Zn concentration range investigated. These results demonstrate that the observed Tg behavior does not require an increase in the Zn CN.

The amount of TMS surface coverage, which ranged from 5% to 33%, was a strong function of the starting silica-surface chemistry and the HMDS reaction time. Sols with a greater hydrogen-bonded silanol surface (as opposed to an ethoxy surface or isolated silanol surface) resulted in greater TMS coverage. HMDS reacts with both the solvent (ethanol) and the silica surface. Reaction rate measurements suggested that the silica surface reacts with HMDS at short times (minutes) and then with ETMS, which is a product of the HMDS/ethanol reaction, at long times (days). High TMS coverage is required for sol stability in non-polar solvents; the colloid size was found to increase in decane for sols with poor TMS coverage. In addition, coatings made from TMS sols showed an 80× slower remaining ethoxy-surface hydrolysis rate upon exposure to humidity than untreated sols. These TMS sol films will be utilized as anti-reflection coatings on moisture sensitive optics (e.g., potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals) used in high-peak-power laser systems.

Especially intriguing behavior is observed when the chemical composition in this system is near x≅0.5, where small changes in the stoichiometry result in drastic variations in the chemical bonding, electronic structure, crystal structure, and magnetism. Furthermore, the fully reversible magnetic/crystallographic (TC≅270 K) and the irreversible thermoelastic crystallographic (between ∼500 and ∼750 K) transformations exist near this critical chemical composition. Both of these transformations involve the same two crystallographic modifications: the monoclinic Gd5(Si2Ge2)-type (β) and the orthorhombic Gd5Si4-type structures (α and γ). First principle calculations of the electronic structure and exchange coupling of these materials are in nearly quantitative agreement with the experiment. It appears that the unusual behavior observed in the near critical Gd5(SixGe1−x)4 phases is closely related to the stability of the well-defined sub-nanometer thick atomic slabs coupled with the flexibility of their arrangements.

Nano Lett. 2 (2002) 535). Due to the absence of low-energy phonon modes in nanocrystals, the nonradiative relaxation between crystal field levels of Er3+ is significantly diminished, whereas this confinement effect on high-energy phonon relaxation and thermalization is negligible. It is also shown that absorption line broadening for Er3+ ions in the surface layer of the nanoparticles enables coincident excitation of Er3+ ions at defect and intrinsic sites. As a result of the combined excitation and relaxation processes, Er3+ population accumulates in the upper crystal field levels of the 4I15/2 ground state; and the intensity of hot bands originating from these levels increases abruptly as temperature decreases below 7 K. This anomalous thermalization effect is interpreted satisfactorily based on calculations of temperature-dependent multiphonon relaxation rates in nanocrystals of confined phonon modes.

They lower the second-order magnetic transition temperatures (86 and 53 K), increase the first-order magnetic transition temperature (19 K) and destroy the spin-slip magnetic transition (26 K) of pure Er. Similar trends are observed in the PrxEr1−x alloys for 0⩽x⩽0.4. Pr additions to commercial-grade Er and to high-purity Er lower the two second-order and spin-slip magnetic transition temperatures, and have little or no effect on the first-order magnetic transition temperature for x⩽0.125. The 52 and 22 K transitions are wiped out by Pr additions of x≃0.10 and 0.02, respectively. Furthermore, the first-order transition terminates in the concentration range 0.10⩽x⩽0.125, and a new magnetic phase is formed between 0.125⩽x⩽0.15. For x≃0.35, the magnetic transitions merge and for larger Pr concentrations there is only one second-order paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition on cooling.

In the case of rare-earth or rare-earth-like ions that are characterized by a degenerate orbital doublet ground state when placed in a cubic crystal field, EPR has proven to be an extremely valuable approach to the study of various manifestations of the Jahn–Teller (J–T) effect. The contributions of EPR spectroscopy to the study of the J–T effect in ions such as La2+, Y2+ and Sc2+ include the discovery of quadrupolar effects in J–T systems and a verification of Frank Ham''s theory of the dynamic J–T effect. Such basic studies can often have unforeseen consequences—like leading to the discovery of new scintillators for gamma-ray detection or the development of a matrix for the disposal of radioactive waste.

The maximum elongation-to-failure of 1150% was found at 570 °C, which is near the solidus temperature of 572 °C, and an initial strain rate of 2.8×10−3 s−1. The corresponding strain rate sensitivity coefficient, m, was about 0.6. It was shown that increasing the temperature from 550 to 570 °C results in reduced cavitation and expanding the optimal interval of superplasticity toward lower strain rates due to the disappearance of the threshold stress. The influence of temperature on the mechanisms of superplastic deformation is discussed.

A modest magnetic entropy change can be observed in La0.85Sr0.15MnO3 by sintering the precursor-derived powder at 1200 °C for 16 h or by combustion spraying the solution precursor onto an Al substrate and annealing at 800 °C for 6 h. The combustion thermal spray process with rapid deposition rates and relatively low deposition temperature directly produces a microcrystalline perovskite phase. This microcrystalline powder can be processed more rapidly and at lower temperatures than that derived from the sol–gel syntheses process to produce material with fine crystallinity and an obvious magnetocaloric effect.

For Ξ decay to Λπ followed by Λ to , the proton distribution in the rest frame of Lambda is governed by the product of the decay parameters αΞαΛ. The asymmetry ΛΞΛ, proportional to the difference of αΞαΛ of the hyperon and anti-hyperon decays, vanishes if CP is conserved. We report on an analysis of a fraction of 1997 and 1999 data collected by the HyperCP (E871) collaboration during the fixed-target runs at Fermilab. The preliminary measurement of the assymmetry is AΞΛ = [−7±12(stat)±6.2(sys)] × 10−4, an order of magnitude better than the present limit.

Superconducting thick films of YBCO were prepared on nickel tapes buffered with yttrium stabilized zirconia layers by continuous sol–gel dip coating method. Annealing of YBCO coated conductor was performed under varying low oxygen partial pressures. SEM, EDS, and XRD analyses were used to characterize the YBCO coated conductor. The thick films produced in this manner were dense and free of cracks. It was found that the oxygen partial pressure affects the texture formation of YBCO thick film.

Activation energies for the bulk and film conductivities were determined. Tafel analysis afforded the activation energies “from the temperature dependence of the exchange current densities” as well as the charge transfer coefficient. The electrical conductivity of bulk material was found to decrease with aluminum content. Formation of the materials into thin porous films further decreased the conductivity after correcting for porosity. Aluminum substitution substantially decreased the performance through influence of the pre-exponential factor in the Butler–Volmer formulation. Neither the activation energies nor the charge transfer coefficient for these materials varied significantly. Aluminum does not adversely influence the basic mechanism of oxygen reduction. It may occupy and block electrochemically active sites on the electrode surface, but it does not appear to decrease the intrinsic activity of available surface sites.

This concentration anomaly motivated the assembly of a room temperature Li/P(EO)8LiTFSI/LixMnO2 cell, containing a preheated amorphous electrolyte, which initially delivered a cathode capacity of 27 mA h/g at a current density of 0.1 mA/cm2 and 60 mA h/g at 0.05 mA/cm2 as compared to typical discharge capacities of 95–120 mA h/g for similar polymer systems at 85 °C and liquid systems at room temperature. The delivered capacity decreased during cell cycling and reached a limiting value of 10 mA h/g after cycle 15. Li/P(EO)nLiTFSI/LixMnO2 cells (n=6, 8, 20) were also cycled extensively at 85 °C, and an analysis of the results indicates that the solid electrolyte interfacial (SEI) resistance, formed between the lithium negative electrode and the electrolyte, remains constant during cycling (RSEI≈3–7×10−3 Ω m2) and is of the same magnitude as the bulk electrolyte resistance. Furthermore, it is shown that severe concentration gradients develop over the electrolytes during cell operation, and that the marked diminishing cathode capacity for the n=8 cell at 20 °C, and also for the n=20 cell at 85 °C, with increasing current density, appears to be related to a limiting current situation. Losses in energy and power densities at steady state conditions for n=6 and n=8 cells at 85 °C appear mainly related to the development of a concentration overpotential, which lowers the working potential curve and causes the cutoff potential to be reached sooner.

Genetic variability in DNA repair may contribute to human cancer risk. We used a case-control study design (162 cases and 302 controls) to test the association between three amino acid substitution variants of DNA repair genes (XRCC1 Arg194Trp, XRCC1 Arg399Gln, and XRCC3 Thr241Met) and breast cancer susceptibility. We found a weak association between the XRCC1 194Trp allele and breast cancer risk (adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.98; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.85–4.63). We also found a potential gene-gene interaction between the XRCC1 194Trp allele and XRCC3 241Met allele and breast cancer risk (adjusted OR=8.74; 95% CI=1.13–67.53). Although larger studies are needed to validate the study results, our data suggest that amino acid substitution variants of XRCC1 and XRCC3 genes may contribute to breast cancer susceptibility.

T1 - Redox properties of water on the oxidized and reduced surfaces of CeO2(1 1 1) JO - Surface Science JF - Surface Science Y1 - 2003/02/20/ VL - 526 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 00396028 AB - We present X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) results probing the surface chemistry of water on the oxidized and reduced surfaces of a 500 A˚ epitaxial CeO2(1 1 1) film grown on yttria-stabilized ZrO2(1 1 1). Oxidation with O2 at 773 K under UHV conditions was sufficient to generate XPS spectra reflective of fully oxidized CeO2(1 1 1). Surface reduction was carried out by annealing in UHV between 773 and 973 K, and the level of reduction was quantified using changes in the Ce3d3/2 4f0 photoemission peak at 917 eV which results primarily from Ce4+ sites. As expected, the level of surface reduction (generation of Ce3+ sites) increased with increasing temperature. These Ce3+ sites were primarily in the first layer based on the fact that exposure of the film to O2 at RT resulted in nearly complete conversion of Ce3+ to Ce4+. Annealing at 773 K led to a surface in which ≈40% of the surface Ce4+ sites were reduced to Ce3+, whereas annealing at higher temperatures led to more substantial reduction of the first layer along with some subsurface reduction that was not reoxidized by RT exposure to O2. Comparisons with results in the literature for reduction of single crystal CeO2(1 1 1) surfaces suggest that the volume-to-surface ratio of ceria samples influences, in part, the reduction conditions that result in detectable levels of surface Ce3+ sites. In other words, the annealing temperatures required to achieve a specific extent of surface reduction likely depends on the thickness of the sample. Water TPD studies on the oxidized CeO2(1 1 1) surface reveal strong coverage dependence that destabilizes high coverages of water relative to low coverages. The presence of surface reduction (on the order 30% oxygen vacancy sites) removes much of the coverage dependent behavior. TPD uptake measurements, H2 TPD spectra and XPS spectra in the Ce3d core level and Ce4f valence band (VB) regions all indicate that little or no irreversible water decomposition or Ce3+ oxidation was observed for water on this reduced surface. In contrast, exposure of water at 650 K resulted in additional surface reduction above that observed from annealing at 650 K in the absence of water. This is attributed to a redistribution of oxygen vacancies from the bulk to the surface as a result of high temperature water treatment. Because water oxidation of Ce3+ surface sites has been observed for reduced ceria powders, but was not observed on the reduced CeO2(1 1 1) surfaces studied here, we propose that the reduced (1 1 1) surface is more resistant than non-(1 1 1) terminations to being oxidized by water.

The starfish occupy specific types of sites on the laterally-bulk-terminated quasicrystalline surface. We postulate that the nucleation event consists of a diffusing Al atom dropping into an empty site at the centre of a substrate pentagon. Growth consists of the addition of five Al atoms (nearly) in lattice sites. These 6-atom starfish do not grow laterally as coverage increases, leading to islands of uniform size, and to early roughening.

Although the central role of native state topology in determining the folding mechanism is thought to be a quite general result—at least for small two-state folding proteins—there are remarkable exceptions. Recent experimental findings have shown that topology alone cannot always determine the folding mechanism, and demonstrated that the balance between topology and energetics is very delicate. This balance seems to be particularly critical in proteins with a highly symmetrical native structure, such as proteins L and G, which have similar native structure topology but fold by different mechanisms. Simplified, -atom only protein models have shown not be sufficient to differentiate these mechanisms. An all-atom Go¯ model provides a valuable intermediate model between structurally simplified protein representations and all-atom protein simulations with explicit/implicit solvent descriptions. We present here a detailed study of an all-atom Go¯-like representation of protein L, in close comparison with the experimental results and with the results obtained from a simple Cα-atom representation of the same protein. We also perform simulations for protein G, where we obtain a folding mechanism in which the protein symmetry is broken exactly in the opposite way to protein L as has been observed experimentally. A detailed analysis for protein L also shows that the role of specific residues is correctly and quantitatively reproduced by the all-atom Go¯ model over almost the entire protein.

Our results suggest that certain interesting phenomena should eventually emerge from the fossil record. For example, there should be a “tortoise and hare effect”: those genera with the smallest species death rate are likely to survive much longer than genera with large species birth and death rates. A complete characterization of the behavior of a branch of the phylogenetic tree corresponding to a genus and accurate mathematical representations of the various stages are obtained. We apply our results to address certain controversial issues that have arisen in paleontology such as the importance of punctuated equilibrium and whether unique Cambrian phyla have survived to the present.

These objects have γ-ray-emitting regions that are small enough to be affected by microlensing effects produced by stars lying in intermediate galaxies. We compute the gravitational magnification taking into account effects of the lensing and show that, whereas the innermost γ-ray spheres can be significantly magnified, there is little magnification either for very high γ-ray energies or for lower (radio) frequencies (because these wavelengths are emitted from larger regions). We analyse the temporal evolution of the gamma-ray magnification for sources moving in a caustic pattern field, where the combined effects of thousands of stars are taken into account using a numerical technique. We propose that some of the unidentified γ-ray sources (particularly some of those lying at high galactic latitude with gamma-ray statistical properties that are very similar to detected γ-ray blazars) are indeed the result of gravitational lensing magnification of background undetected active galactic nuclei (AGN). This is partly supported from a statistical point of view: we show herein as well, using the latest information from the third EGRET catalogue, that high-latitude γ-ray sources have similar averaged properties to already detected γ-ray AGN. Some differences between both samples, regarding the mean flux level, could also be understood within the lensing model. With an adequate selection of lensing parameters, it is possible to explain a variety of γ-ray light curves with different time-scales, including non-variable sources. The absence of strong radio counterparts could be naturally explained by differential magnification in the extended source formalism.

Two types of new RF cavities have been developed to store very high-intensity beams with many short bunches. The design and performance of the cavities and other critical components, such as the input couplers and HOM dampers, are reported. The configuration of the RF systems is given and descriptions of various control loops are made, including a direct RF feedback loop and a 0-mode damping loop. The effects of transient beam loading due to a bunch gap on bunch phase modulations were simulated and measured. The development of a superconducting crab cavity, which is a component of luminosity upgrade strategy, is also presented.

We show that a sub-leading part of the three-body force appears at the third order and delineate how the expansion proceeds at higher orders. After discussing the renormalisation issues in a simple bosonic model, we compute the phase shifts for neutron–deuteron scattering in the doublet S wave (triton) channel and compare our results with phase shift analysis and potential model calculations.

In the equilibrium configuration of interest, the magnetic and ion velocity fields are parallel and identically sheared. While in resistive MHD simultaneous growth of a TMI and a KHI is precluded, Hall physics, by decoupling electrons and ions, destabilizes both modes, leading to a more complex interaction. Nonlinearly, saturation occurs with the formation of a magnetic island and an ion flow vortex in both sub- and super-Alfve´nic regimes. For moderately large c/ωpi, the electron flow shows good alignment with the magnetic field, while demagnetized ions still show KH activity.

A single SDS transition is obtained by updating the states of the nodes in V by evaluating the function associated with each of them in the order given by π.We consider reachability problems for SDSs with restricted local transition functions. Our main intractability results show that the reachability problems for SDSs are PSPACE-complete when either of the following restrictions hold: (i) F consists of both simple-threshold-functions and simple-inverted-threshold functions, or (ii) F consists only of threshold-functions that use weights in an asymmetric manner. Moreover, the results hold even for SDSs whose underlying graphs have bounded node degree and bounded pathwidth. Our lower bound results also extend to reachability problems for Hopfield networks and communicating finite state machines.On the positive side, we show that when F consists only of threshold functions that use weights in a symmetric manner, reachability problems can be solved efficiently provided all the weights are strictly positive and the ratio of the largest to the smallest weight is bounded by a polynomial function of the number of nodes.

We show that the mechanism of electrochemical alloying is electrochemically-driven solid-state amorphization, a process closely analogous to the diffusive solid-state amorphization of thin films. X-ray diffraction and HREM experiments reveal that the crystallization of equilibrium intermetallic compounds is circumvented during lithiation at room temperature, and that formation of highly lithiated Li-Si glass instead occurs. This glass is shown to be metastable with respect to the equilibrium crystalline phases. Similar behavior is observed in the diffusive reaction of Li and Si bilayer films, suggesting that lithium-metal alloys in general are likely candidates for solid-state amorphization.

Warm equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was first used to refine the grain size of Ti billets to about 350 nm. The Ti billets were further processed by repetitive cold rolling (CR). This two-step process produced UFG Ti with strengths higher than those of common titanium alloys such as Ti–6Al–4V. This paper reports the microstructures, tensile properties, and thermal stability of these Ti billets processed by a combination of warm ECAP and CR.

Collisional effects are observed, but the time resolution set by the 1.5-ns laser pulses is not sufficient to determine state-to-state energy transfer rates in an atmospheric pressure flame.

The estimated rates of removal obtained from the 90Sr–90Y disequilibrium showed good agreement with (a) measured rates of mass removal obtained from settling particle fluxes in sediment traps and the inventories of suspended material and (b) independently obtained removal coefficients for the scavenging behavior of two different isotopes of particle-reactive plutonium, present in the water column because of different processes. Because 90Sr is widespread and readily measurable in freshwater systems as a result of fallout from nuclear weapons testing, the 90Sr–90Y disequilibrium is a potentially valuable resource for examining particle dynamics in surface waters.

The relatively new field of semiconductor spintronics seeks, in addition, to exploit the spin of charge carriers in new generations of transistors, lasers and integrated magnetic sensors. The ability to control of spin injection, transport and detection leads to the potential for new classes of ultra-low power, high speed memory, logic and photonic devices. The utility of such devices depends on the availability of materials with practical (>300 K) magnetic ordering temperatures. In this paper, we summarize recent progress in dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) such as (Ga, Mn)N, (Ga, Mn)P, (Zn, Mn)O and (Zn, Mn)SiGeN2 exhibiting room temperature ferromagnetism, the origins of the magnetism and its potential applications in novel devices such as spin-polarized light emitters and spin field effect transistors.

The fate of the metal/ radionuclide and ligand are inexorably linked in their interaction with soil minerals and aquifer solids. The present study was conducted to investigate the geochemical reactions (sorption, dissolution, dissociation, oxidation) that govern the fate of CoIINTA complexes in contact with natural subsurface materials that are typical of materials underlying some waste disposal areas. Equilibrium measurements indicated that at low pH (4) and in the presence of abundant surface exchangeable Al, the adsorption of Co and NTA was independent of the presence of the other component. By contrast, at higher pH (6 and 7.4) the sorption of both Co and NTA decreased in the presence of the other moiety. Solution phase analyses indicated that the decrease in sorption was driven by the formation of stable aqueous complexes of Co(II) and Co(III) with NTA. The time-dependent loss of CoIINTA from solution was accounted for by sorption, complex dissociation, and the oxidation of Co(II) to Co(III). Biodegradation of NTA was not an important process over the 21-day incubation period. Formation of Co(III) complexes has broad implications in these systems as these species are kinetically and thermodynamically stable, exhibit lower adsorption onto solids, and are resistant to biodegradation. Thus, with the exception of relatively extreme conditions (low pH, abundant readily available Al), NTA decreased Co partitioning to surfaces through the formation of stable aqueous complexes. This behavior may contribute to the undesirable transport of 60Co through the subsurface.

T1 - Biodistribution of a carborane-containing porphyrin as a targeting agent for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of oral cancer in the hamster cheek pouch JO - Archives of Oral Biology JF - Archives of Oral Biology Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 48 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 223 SN - 00039969 AB - Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a bimodal cancer treatment based on the selective accumulation of 10B in tumors and concurrent irradiation with thermalized neutrons. The short-range, high-LET radiation produced by the capture of neutrons by 10B could potentially control tumor while sparing normal tissue if the boron compound targets tumor selectively within the treatment volume. In previous studies, we proposed and validated the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for BNCT studies, proved that absolute and relative uptake of the clinically employed boron compound boronophenylalanine (BPA) would be potentially therapeutic in this model and provided evidence of the efficacy of in vivo BPA-mediated BNCT to control hamster oral mucosa tumors with virtually no damage to normal tissue. We herein present the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of a lipophilic, carborane-containing tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTCPH) in the hamster oral cancer model. CuTCPH is a novel, non-toxic compound that may be advantageous in terms of selective and absolute delivery of boron to tumor tissues. For potentially effective BNCT, tumor boron concentrations from a new agent should be greater than 30 ppm and tumor/blood and tumor/normal tissue boron concentration ratios should be greater than 5/1 without causing significant toxicity. We administered CuTCPH intraperitoneally (i.p.) as a single dose of 32 μg/g body weight (b.w.) (10 μg B/g b.w.) or as four doses of 32 μg/g b.w. over 2 days. Blood (Bl) and tissues were sampled at 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h in the single-dose protocol and at 1–4 days after the last injection in the multidose protocol. The tissues sampled were tumor (T), precancerous tissue surrounding tumor, normal pouch (N), skin, tongue, cheek and palate mucosa, liver, spleen, parotid gland and brain. The maximum mean B ratios for the single-dose protocol were T/N: 9.2/1 (12 h) and T/Bl: 18.1/1 (72 h). The B value peaked to 20.7±18.5 ppm in tumor at 24 h. The multidose protocol maximum mean ratios were T/N: 11.9/1 (3 days) and T/Bl: 235/1 (4 days). Absolute boron concentration in tumor reached a maximum value of 116 ppm and a mean value of 71.5±48.3 ppm at 3 days. The fact that absolute and relative B values markedly exceeded the BNCT therapeutic threshold with no apparent toxicity may confer on this compound a therapeutic advantage. CuTCPH-mediated BNCT would be potentially useful for the treatment of oral cancer in an experimental model.

Fuji (3750 m above sea level) and Kanbala (5500 m above sea level). Then, we estimated the primary proton and helium spectra around the knee energy region using a multiple-layered feed-forward neural network as a classifier of primary particle kind. The selection efficiency of proton-induced family events is estimated to be 82%. The flux value of protons at 2×1015 eV is (5.5±1.5)×10−14 (m−2 s−1 sr−1 GeV−1). The result suggests heavy-enriched primary composition around the knee region.

T1 - The Distribution of Viral Blips Observed in HIV-1 Infected Patients Treated with Combination Antiretroviral Therapy JO - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology JF - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 65 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 263 SN - 00928240 AB - Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy frequently have the level of HIV-1 RNA detectable in plasma driven below the lower limit of detection of current assays, 50 copies ml−1. Patients may continue to exhibit viral loads (VLs) below the assay limit for years, yet on some occasions the VL may be above the limit of detection. Whether these ‘blips’ in VL are simply assay errors or are indicative of intermittent episodes of increased viral replication is of great clinical concern. By analyzing the occurrence of viral blips in 123 treated HIV-infected patients, we show that patients do not share a common probability distribution of blip amplitude and thus reject the hypothesis that blips are solely due to assay variation.

Measurement was taken over the pressure range <10–2000 Torr and the isotherm is characterized by Dubinin–Radushkevich analysis which provides the micropore size distribution. The equilibrium information is subsequently employed to characterize the dynamics of adsorption and it is shown that the uptake of carbon dioxide is Fickian with some deviation from Fickian behavior noted at lower pressures. The derived mobility parameter agrees reasonably well with that predicted by the Darken relation over more than a 200-fold change in pressure.

Low temperature Mo¨ssbauer spectra of the quenched slurry samples after 120 h on-line show that all three catalysts are essentially a mixture of oxide and carbide phases with magnetite (Fe3O4) being the dominant phase. TEM images of the quenched samples reveal unexpected particle characteristics. While both unsupported nano-sized materials essentially avoid expected agglomeration, the micron-sized UCI transforms into nano-sized material. These results suggest a crucial role of nano Fe during F–T synthesis.

We identify specific priorities for scientific research on the responses of ecological and socioeconomic systems to climate and other stresses; for improvement in the climatic inputs to impact assessments; and for further development of assessment methods to improve their practical utility to decision-makers. Finally, we propose a new institutional model for assessment, based principally on regional efforts that integrate observations, research, data, applications, and assessment on climate and linked environmental-change issues. The proposed program will require effective collaboration between scientists, resource managers, and other stakeholders, all of whose expertise is needed to define and prioritize key regional issues, characterize relevant uncertainties, and assess potential responses. While both scientifically and organizationally challenging, such an integrated program holds the best promise of advancing our capacity to manage resources and the economy adaptively under a changing climate.

We examined historical shifts in the location of crops and trends in the variability of U.S. average crop yields, finding that non-climatic forces have likely dominated the north and westward movement of crops and the trends in yield variability. For the simulated future climates we considered impacts on crops, grazing and pasture, livestock, pesticide use, irrigation water supply and demand, and the sensitivity to international trade assumptions, finding that the aggregate of these effects were positive for the U.S. consumer but negative, due to declining crop prices, for producers. We examined the effects of potential changes in El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and impacts on yield variability of changes in mean climate conditions. Increased losses occurred with ENSO intensity and frequency increases that could not be completely offset even if the events could be perfectly forecasted. Effects on yield variability of changes in mean temperatures were mixed. We also considered case study interactions of climate, agriculture, and the environment focusing on climate effects on nutrient loading to the Chesapeake Bay and groundwater depletion of the Edward's Aquifer that provides water for municipalities and agriculture to the San Antonio, Texas area. While only case studies, these results suggest environmental targets such as pumping limits and changes in farm practices to limit nutrient run-off would need to be tightened if current environmental goals were to be achieved under the climate scenarios we examined [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Climatic Change is the property of Springer Science & Business Media B.V. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 175 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 421 EP - 452 SN - 00102202 AB - The combustion of porous energetic materials under confinement is generally characterized by a relatively rapid increase in the flame-propagation speed as the pressure difference, or overpressure, between the burned gases in the product region and the unburned gases deep within the pores of the unburned solid increases. The structure of the deflagration wave during this transition from "conductive" to "convective" burning is likely to correspond to a previously identified intrusive regime associated with higher overpressures. In this intrusive limit, the distributed gas-phase reactions proceed in the vicinity of the solid/gas interface, where surface reactions representing sublimation and pyrolysis occur. In this merged-flame regime, gaseous combustion can then either be confined to the purely gas-phase region beyond the solid surface or, depending on a number of factors, can penetrate inside the unburned porous material. A large-activation-energy analysis of the latter scenario is presented in this work to investigate the effects of gas-phase reaction permeation on the structure and propagation speed of quasi-steady deflagrations in confined porous propellants. The results of the current study are compared to the corresponding results that are obtained when, in the same intrusive regime, the gas flame is assumed not to penetrate into the subsurface region. It is demonstrated that the burning rate derived in the current scenario exhibits a higher sensitivity to increasing overpressure, because the heat release from gas-phase reactions within the porous solid permits additional preheating of the material. porous energetic materials subsurface combustion overpressure convective burning [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Combustion Science & Technology is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Both resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and two-fluid models are considered. It has been implemented on several parallel platforms and shows good scalability up to 32 CPUs for reasonable problem sizes. A fixed, non-uniform rectangular mesh is used to resolve the different spatial scales in the reconnection problem. The resistive MHD version uses an implicit/explicit hybrid method, while the two-fluid version uses an alternating-direction implicit (ADI) method with high-order artificial dissipation. The technique has proven useful for comparing several different theories of collisional and collisionless reconnection.

The roles of geometrical and electronic structure in controlling the relevant energetics and electronic coupling are discussed, and a number of limiting cases of kinetic behavior are displayed. Particular attention is paid to the formulation of the initial and final states involved in the ET, including the consequences of near-degeneracy and spin–orbit coupling. The roles of metal/ligand mixing and other types of ‘mediation’ of donor/acceptor coupling by molecular spacers are noted and illustrated with calculated results. An example of a detailed computation of activation parameters is also presented, including entropic effects and nuclear tunnelling.

Since then, the system has served users of the NHMFL at the full design currents in both the superconducting outsert (10 kA) and the resistive insert (67 kA), reaching a combined field of 45.2 T. This magnet system combines both superconducting and resistive magnet technologies, which, whether taken together or separately, define new states of the art. Operating alone, the superconducting outsert has been charged repeatedly to 10 kA, corresponding to a maximum field of nearly 16 T at its 710-mm winding i.d. More recently, operation of the outsert has been limited to 8 kA as a consequence of degradation suffered during an “unprotected” quench, but insert upgrades and higher-current operation (up to 74 kA) have allowed the system to provide 45 T to users still. Because the system was designed from the outset as a facility rather than an experiment, there is a minimum of instrumentation––in fact there is none internal to the steel vessel housing the superconducting magnet. Therefore, projections of internal conditions in the superconducting magnet are deduced from detailed analysis of observations from coil voltage taps and various external temperature sensors and pressure transducers. We present these with comments regarding their value in future magnet design as well as an introduction for more complete analysis by complex computer codes.

In the event that the ramping losses exceed the cooling capacity of the He II, the long cooling channels become partially or completely filled by He I and even the relatively weak heating of index losses can lead to slow thermal runaway and a delayed quench. A numerical analysis is presented using a one-dimensional model of heat transfer in a column of superfluid helium. The model considers each of the six layers in the innermost coil as independent channels, yet coupled through heat transfer across conduit and insulation. The computational results are compared with experimental data, showing good agreement with the observed quench behavior.

The procedure is used to investigate the electronic distribution in the band gap region. The changes in the density of states caused by a presence of coordination defects, strongly distorted tetrahedral species (and homo-polar bonds in the case of a-SiC) are examined.

We find that stock returns in emerging countries are positively correlated with aggregate market liquidity as measured by turnover ratio, trading value and the turnover–volatility multiple. The results hold in both cross-sectional and time-series analyses, and are quite robust even after we control for world market beta, market capitalization and price-to-book ratio. The positive correlation between stock returns and market liquidity in a time-series analysis is consistent with the findings in developed markets. However, the positive correlation in a cross-sectional analysis appears to be at odds with market microstructure theory that has been empirically supported by studies on developed markets. Our findings regarding the cross-sectional relation between stock returns and liquidity is consistent with the view that emerging equity markets have a lower degree of integration with the global economy.

It is shown that the top mass, the top width and αs (MZ) can be extracted simultaneously with uncertainties around 20 MeV, 30 MeV and 0.0012, respectively, while the top Yukawa coupling can be measured, with the previous three parameters, to an uncertainty of about 35%, after assuming an external prior on αs of ±0.001.

This paper describes how the convergence theory for EPSAs can be adapted to allow each individual in a population to have its own mutation step length (similar to the design of evolutionary programing and evolution strategies algorithms). These are called locally-adaptive EPSAs (LA-EPSAs) since each individual's mutation step length is independently adapted in different local neighborhoods. The paper also describes a variety of standard formulations of evolutionary algorithms that can be used for LA-EPSAs. Further, it is shown how this convergence theory can be applied to memetic EPSAs, which use local search to refine points within each iteration.

Synthesis of the film was carried out by codepositing Fe and S2 onto a Ta support. The thickness of the film could be varied from approximately 10 A˚ to 1 μm. High-resolution S 2p synchrotron-based photoemission showed S22−, with undetectable amounts of S2− impurity that is typically present on natural sample surfaces. X-ray diffraction of the micron-thick films showed that the film crystallized in the marcasite phase of FeS2. Atomic force microscopy indicated that the thin film had a nanometer-scale roughness suggesting the film contained defects such as steps and kinks. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies found the thin marcasite film to be more reactive than natural pyrite (the most ubiquitous FeS2 dimorph) after exposure to a gaseous O2/H2O environment on the basis of the amount of sulfate formation. Likely the oxidation of marcasite was dominated by its short-range order (e.g., presence of steps), because the density of nonstoichiometric defect sites (e.g., S2−) was low as assessed by photoelectron spectroscopy.

Our scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images show that, depending on the type of metal atom that is adsorbed, islands of a characteristic size (2 nm for Ag, 8 to 10 nm for Cu, two distinct sizes of 2 nm and 8 to 10 nm for Au), shape (well rounded in the lateral extension) and thickness (one monolayer for Ag, 1 to 1.5 nm for Cu) are formed during the initial stages of deposition. Whole islands are observed to surface diffuse without loss of size or shape. Despite the relatively large size of the copper islands on molybdenite, these islands surface diffuse extensively, suggesting that the Cu-S interaction is weak. Surface diffusion is only hindered once individual islands start to coalesce. As copper islands accumulate, the size and shape of the original islands can still be recognized, supporting the conclusion that these characteristics are constant and that monolayer growth occurs by the aggregation of islands across the surface.The strength and the nature of the Ag-S(MoS2) bond were further investigated by using molecular orbital calculations, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). By applying quantum mechanical approaches using a two-dimensional periodic molybdenite slab and hexagonal MoS2 clusters of different sizes with metal atoms adsorbed to them, it is possible to calculate the electron transfer between the mineral surface and the metal atom as well as the adsorption energy as a function of surface coverage. In addition, we used the results from the quantum mechanical runs to derive empirical potentials that model the characteristics of the forces within the crystal, within the adsorbed islands, and the metal and mineral surface. The combination of quantum mechanical calculations and empirical force field calculations explain the electronic structure and the highest stability of Ag islands that have seven atoms in diameter, which exactly agrees with the size of experimentally observed islands. UPS results also suggest that a specific new state is formed (approximately 4.5 eV into the valence band) which may describe the Ag-S bond because it does not occur in pure silver or molybdenite.This study shows how the combination of microscopic (STM), spectroscopic (STS, UPS), compositional (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS) and molecular modeling (quantum mechanical and empirical) techniques is a useful approach to understand the nature of the metal to sulfide bond. Further insights may be gained concerning the natural association of certain metals with sulfides.

The modification of interest does not arise because of a direct “through space” interaction between the two sites, but rather an indirect interaction via the electronic structure of the substrate. Here we investigate the distance and direction dependence of proximity effects using quantum mechanical modeling. The direct and indirect interactions between co-adsorbed oxygen atoms and between adsorbed oxygen atoms and point defects on vacuum-terminated galena (100) surfaces were modeled. Density functional theory cluster and plane wave pseudopotential calculations were used to calculate the modifications to the adsorption energy as a function of separation. Energy-distance plots indicate that the proximity effect energy can become very strong at separations decreasing below about 5 to 6 A˚, and persist at increasing separations up to 12 A˚ in a slowly decaying form. A strong attractive indirect interaction out-competes direct electrostatic repulsion for O-vacancy interactions. An oscillatory asymptotic behavior is found for co-adsorbed O-O indirect interactions, which indicates that the proximity effect energy can vary with surface crystallographic direction. It implies the presence of a strong organizing force on like adatoms that may explain the progressive oxidation of certain sulfide minerals by patchwork growth. These findings begin to pave the way for improved adsorption isotherms and extended surface complexation models that will include the specific influence of semiconductor-type proximity effects.

The structure of α-Fe2O3 (001) surfaces is not fully understood, and questions have arisen recently concerning different terminations of (001) terraces; a so-called Fe-termination is expected, but under some conditions an O-termination may also be possible. Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscope (STM) studies report evidence for an O-termination in coexistence with an Fe-termination, but other studies find no evidence for an O-termination. Molecular mechanics studies suggest that an O-termination should be possible in an aqueous environment. An O-termination could result from dissolution; if Fe atoms were to dissolve from an Fe-termination, an O-termination would presumably result (and vice-versa). We imaged hematite (001) surfaces in air and aqueous solution using STM. To aid interpretation of the images, we use a resonant tunneling model (RTM) parameterized using ab initio calculations.Our STM and RTM results are consistent with mixed O- and Fe-terminated (001) surfaces. For acid-etched surfaces we find evidence for a periodic (with wavelength of 2.2 ± 0.2 nm) arrangement of nominal O- and Fe-terminated domains. Two different borders between domains should occur, one in which the Fe-termination is high relative to the O-termination, and the reverse. The different domain borders have significantly different heights, consistent with RTM calculations. This agreement allows us to conclude that the Fe-termination is topographically high on most terraces. Surface domains are observed in aqueous solutions at the atomic scale, and appear to be very unreactive on tens-of-seconds time scales at pH 1.

The simulations are carried out using a potential model designed to allow the protonation states of the surface functional groups to evolve dynamically through the molecular dynamics trajectory. The primary structural quantities investigated are the populations of the surface functional groups, the distribution of electrolyte in the solution, and the surface hydrogen bonding relationships. The surface protonation states are dominated by extensive hydrolysis of interfacial water molecules, giving rise to a dipolar surface dominated by FeOH2+-OH2-OH− arrangements. Triply coordinated, more deeply buried, surface sites are inert, probably due to the relative lack of solvent in their vicinity. The electrolyte distribution is oscillatory, arranging preferentially in layers defined by the solvating water molecules. The presence of electrolyte has a negligible effect on the protonation states of the surface functional groups. Steady-state behavior is obtained for the protonation states of the surface functional groups and hydrogen-bonding network. Although the overall structure of the electrolyte distribution is fairly well established, the electrolyte distribution has not fully equilibrated, as evidenced by the asymmetry in the distribution from the top to the bottom of the slab.

XANES analysis and simulation JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 67 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1031 SN - 00167037 AB - X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) analysis of sorption complexes has the advantages of high sensitivity (10- to 20-fold greater than extended X-ray absorption fine structure [EXAFS] analysis) and relative ease and speed of data collection (because of the short k-space range). It is thus a potentially powerful tool for characterization of environmentally significant surface complexes and precipitates at very low surface coverages. However, quantitative analysis has been limited largely to “fingerprint” comparison with model spectra because of the difficulty of obtaining accurate multiple-scattering amplitudes for small clusters with high confidence.In the present work, calculations of the XANES for 50- to 200-atom clusters of structure from Zn model compounds using the full multiple-scattering code Feff 8.0 accurately replicate experimental spectra and display features characteristic of specific first-neighbor anion coordination geometry and second-neighbor cation geometry and number. Analogous calculations of the XANES for small molecular clusters indicative of precipitation and sorption geometries for aqueous Zn on ferrihydrite, and suggested by EXAFS analysis, are in good agreement with observed spectral trends with sample composition, with Zn-oxygen coordination and with changes in second-neighbor cation coordination as a function of sorption coverage. Empirical analysis of experimental XANES features further verifies the validity of the calculations. The findings agree well with a complete EXAFS analysis previously reported for the same sample set, namely, that octahedrally coordinated aqueous Zn2+ species sorb as a tetrahedral complex on ferrihydrite with varying local geometry depending on sorption density. At significantly higher densities but below those at which Zn hydroxide is expected to precipitate, a mainly octahedral coordinated Zn2+ precipitate is observed. An analysis of the multiple scattering paths contributing to the XANES demonstrates the importance of scattering paths involving the anion sublattice. We also describe the specific advantages of complementary quantitative XANES and EXAFS analysis and estimate limits on the extent of structural information obtainable from XANES analysis.

T1 - Surface stabilization of organics on hematite by conversion from terminal to bridging adsorption structures JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 67 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1055 SN - 00167037 AB - Insight into the complexation of organic molecules on hematite surfaces was obtained from molecular-level studies of a simple probe molecule (methanol) with the R-cut surface of hematite. The R-cut crystal orientation of hematite, designated in this paper as α-Fe2O3(012), has two stable surface structures under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions based on low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) measurements. These are a (1×1) structure consisting of a bulk terminated arrangement of undercoordinated Fe3+ and O2− surface sites and a (2×1) reconstructed structure with unknown atomic structure. Whereas the (1×1) surface is essentially free of Fe2+, the (2×1) surface possesses a high surface concentration of Fe2+ sites based on electronic structure measurements using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Methanol adsorbs dissociatively on the (1×1) surface by coordination of the molecule’s oxygen atom at a Fe3+ site followed by transfer of the alcohol proton to a bridging O2− surface site, resulting in terminal OCH3 and bridging OH groups. Most of the dissociated methanol molecules recombine during heating and desorb in vacuum as methanol at 365 and 415 K for the (1×1) and (2×1) surfaces, respectively. However, a significant amount of the terminal OCH3 and bridging OH groups interchange as the surface is heated above room temperature (RT), resulting in bridging OCH3 and terminal OH groups. The bridging OCH3 groups are retained on the surface to higher temperature than the terminal OCH3 groups, but eventually decompose at about 550 K via a disproportionation reaction that forms gaseous CH3OH and H2CO. As a result of the disproportionation reaction, some surface Fe3+ sites are reduced to Fe2+ sites. The exchange process competes more successfully with recombinative desorption of methanol (from reaction of terminal OCH3 and bridging OH groups) on the (2×1) surface, despite the fact that this surface is already partially reduced, because terminal OCH3 groups are more stable on this surface than on the (1×1) surface. Based on these molecular-level findings, extensive exchange terminal organic ligands and bridging OH groups may play a significant role in stabilizing organics on hematite mineral surfaces. Such exchange processes may also play a role in destabilizing hematite surfaces toward reductive dissolution.

In the absence of exogenous electron shuttle compounds, extracellular electron transfer is generally thought to occur through the interfacial contact area between mineral surfaces and attached cells. Possible alternative reduction pathways have been proposed based on the discovery of a link between an excreted quinone and dissimilatory reduction. In this study, we utilize a novel experimental approach to demonstrate that Shewanella putrefaciens reduces the surface of crystalline iron oxides at spatial locations that are distinct from points of attachment.

Clear anomalies in the temperature dependence of resistivity along the c -axis mark the magnetic phase transitions between paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic (AF) state at T N and the AF1↔AF2 transition at T 1 . Large negative magnetoresistance effects have been observed not only in the AF state as a result of the metamagnetic transition to canted structure at B c , but also at temperatures far above T N . The latter result is attributed to the existence of AF correlations or short range AF orderings in the paramagnetic range. The value of T N increases with increasing applied pressure, whereas T 1 simultaneously decreases. It is also found that B c decreases with increasing pressure. As a consequence, the stability range of the AF-1 phase expands with applied pressure partially on account of the ground-state AF-2 phase.

JO - Integrated Ferroelectrics JF - Integrated Ferroelectrics Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 54 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 515 EP - 525 SN - 10584587 AB - The piezoelectric and the pyroelectric properties of PZT films are systematically investigated for tetragonal (Zr/Ti = 30/70), morphotropic (52/48), and rhombohedral (70/30) compositions. The magnitude of the effective longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ) and pyroelectric coefficient (p) of these films is measured by atomic force microscopy and Byer-Roundy method, respectively. All films are consistently highly textured (111) orientation and have dense microstructures. Slightly less degree of texture in higher Zr-rich composition is observed due to the lattice mismatch between PZT and Pt bottom electrode and higher activation energy for nucleation. Squareness of polarization hysteresis loops is optimized in tetragonal composition, which indicates the tetragonal PZT is closer to the ideal hysteresis behavior than other compositions. It is shown that the piezoelectric coefficient and the pyroelectric figure of merit are dependent on the dielectric properties of the films. The morphotropic PZT films with high dielectric constant and low pyroelectric figure of merit show the largest piezoelectric coefficient values, while the tetragonal PZT films with low dielectric constant and high remanent polarization values show the largest pyroelectric figure of merit compared to other compositions, which indicate the suitability for PIR sensor devices.

In both cases indentation was used to produce discontinuous loading curves, which indicate film fracture after plastic deformation of the metal. The oxides on bulk metals fractures occurred at reproducible loads, and the tensile stresses in the films at fracture were approximately 10 and 15 GPa for the aluminum and titanium oxides, respectively. Fine grained films only exhibited discontinuous loading under cyclic indentations, and demonstrated decreased load at catastrophic film fracture as the amplitude of cycling was decreased. A hypothesis regarding film fracture in these film systems is presented based on plastic deformation in the substrate and the superposition of the load carried by the elastic stretching of the film and the plastic deformation of the substrate.

JO - International Journal of Fracture JF - International Journal of Fracture Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 119 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 365 EP - 386 SN - 03769429 AB - We have performed a combined experimental and analytical study of cleavage in mica using a double cantilever beam geometry in which a crack induced by a wedge driven into one side of the specimen interacts with a pre-existing, coplanar, internal crack. The internal crack is produced by inserting a fiber into the sample on the cleavage plane. As the wedge-driven crack approaches the internal crack, its growth is retarded by the defect, producing an increase in the apparent fracture resistance. With continued loading, the two cracks coalesce. The experiment has been analyzed using a cohesive zone approach to represent the interlayer adhesion in mica. Analysis of the various stages of the experiment reveal scaling dependencies of the different cohesive zone parameters. The coalescence event has been found to depend on parameters other than the fracture resistance of the interface, making it useful for determining additional parameters in the cohesive description, such as the characteristic opening to failure or the cohesive stress. Analysis of the coalescence event is reproduced with finite element calculations. The interaction experiment allows multiple parameters to be determined in a single experiment using a single sample. In our experiments, we observe an increase in the apparent fracture resistance without introducing additional mechanisms for dissipation. Our results reveal the nature of this pinning mechanism and its strength in terms of cohesive fracture parameters.

The samples were prepared by sputter deposition of gold films and chromium adhesive layers on sapphire substrates. Some films were left in the as-deposited condition while others were given an accelerated age to drive the chromium off the interface and into the gold film. Stressed overlayers and nanoindentation were then used to induce interfacial delamination and blister formation from which interfacial fracture energies were determined using mechanics-based models. These tests showed that the fracture energies for interfacial failure of the as-deposited and annealed films occurred near 1.3 J m-2 even when diffusion had driven all chromium into solution. These results clearly demonstrate that chromium in solution is as effective in promoting adhesion as continuous chromium adhesive layers.

High fuel loads promoted by decades of fire suppression in the U.S. increase the duration and intensity of burning, amplifying these effects. The Cerro Grande fire (6–31 May 2000) consumed approximately 15 000 hectares around and within the town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA. Private and public infrastructure including Los Alamos National Laboratory are at continuing risk due to increased threats of upstream erosion. We use a geographic information system (GIS) based implementation of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to model pre- and post-fire soil loss conditions and aid erosion risk analysis. Pre- and post-fire vegetation cover data layers were generated from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) data. Based upon annual average rainfall amounts we estimate that subwatershed average pre-fire erosion rates range from 0.45 to 9.22 tonnes ha –1 yr –1 while post-fire erosion rates before watershed treatments range from 1.72 to 113.26 tonnes ha –1 yr –1. Rates are approximately 3.7 times larger for 50 year return interval rainfall amounts. It is estimated that watershed treatments including reseeding will decrease soil loss between 0.34 and 25.98% in the first year on treated subwatersheds. Immediately after the fire an interagency Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) team produced initial estimates of soil erosion. Our estimates of average erosion rates by subwatershed were in general larger than those initial estimates.

T1 - Conversion of parameters between different variants of Pitzer’s ion-interaction model, both with and without ionic strength dependent higher-order terms JO - Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics JF - Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 439 SN - 00219614 AB - In this article we present a method for converting the parameters between different variants of Pitzer’s ion-interaction model for electrolyte solutions. The original version of Pitzer’s ion-interaction model contains an ionic-strength dependent virial coefficient for two-ion interactions, but the virial coefficient for three-ion interactions is set to an empirically determined constant value. Extended versions of the ion-interaction model are now in common use, where the virial coefficient for three-ion interactions is also allowed to depend on the ionic strength, and terms for higher-order interactions may also be included. These extended ion-interaction equations may have one or more additional ionic-strength dependent terms, and are particularly useful for representing the thermodynamic activity values of highly soluble electrolytes. However, the parameters of the original Pitzer model are often needed to supplement existing databases based on this model. Analytical equations presented here allow the parameters of these extended ion-interaction models to be directly transformed to the parameters of the original Pitzer model. The parameters of the original Pitzer model derived by this approach are compared against parameter values obtained by directly fitting the parameters to values of the osmotic coefficients calculated using the equations and parameters of the extended Pitzer models, with excellent agreement. This approach is demonstrated by application to Rb2SO4(aq), Cs2SO4(aq), NaNO3(aq), and Ca(NO3)2(aq).

As an example, we apply the procedure to the coupling of turbulence simulations of the two-dimensional Hasegawa–Wakatani equations to a one-dimensional transport equation for the density n. Our coupling scheme uses implicit temporal discretization of the transport equation, rendering it stable for arbitrarily large time steps. This allows the computation of turbulence with self-consistent steady-state equilibrium profiles in a single time step of the transport equations and with a total computational time comparable to that required for the turbulence code alone to reach a statistical steady state with fixed equilibrium profiles. Results are presented for both local and non-local turbulence simulations. In the former, which requires running a separate turbulence simulation for each transport grid cell, the transport flux Γ(x) depends on only local values of n(x) and n′(x); for this case, Γ is expressed using Fick’s law, Γ=−Dn′, with D>0 prescribed by the turbulence. In the non-local simulations, Γ(x) depends on the form of n over the entire domain. For such simulations we present two methods for representing Γ that allow for anomalous flux transport, i.e., regions where the flux flows up the local gradient of n.

First, MEA is used to study the effect of linearization and splitting in a simple nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE), and in a linear partial differential equation (PDE). Several time discretizations of the ODE and PDE are considered, and the resulting truncation terms are compared analytically and numerically. It is demonstrated quantitatively that both linearization and splitting can result in accuracy degradation when a computational time step larger than any of the competing (fast) time scales is employed. Many of the issues uncovered on the simple problems are shown to persist in more realistic applications. Specifically, several differencing schemes using linearization and/or time splitting are applied to problems in nonequilibrium radiation–diffusion, magnetohydrodynamics, and shallow water flow, and their solutions are compared to those using balanced time integration methods.

Current radiological ERA methods and data are intended for use in protecting natural populations of biota, rather than individual members of a population. Potentially susceptible receptors include vertebrates and terrestrial plants. One must ensure that all media, radionuclides (including short-lived radioactive decay products), types of radiations (i.e., alpha particles, electrons, and photons), and pathways (i.e., internal and external contamination) are combined in each exposure scenario. The relative biological effectiveness of alpha particles with respect to deterministic effects must also be considered. Expected safe levels of exposure are available for the protection of natural populations of aquatic biota (10 mGy d−1) and terrestrial plants (10 mGy d−1) and animals (1 mGy d−1) and are appropriate for use in all radiological ERA tiers, provided that appropriate exposure assumptions are used. Caution must be exercised (and a thorough justification provided) if more restrictive limits are selected, to ensure that the supporting data are of high quality, reproducible, and clearly relevant to the protection of natural populations.

These standards are: 10 mGy/d for aquatic animals, 10 mGy/d for terrestrial plants, and, 1 mGy/d for terrestrial animals. Guidance on suitable approaches to the implementation of these standards is needed. A screening methodology, developed through DOE’s Biota Dose Assessment Committee (BDAC), serves as the principal element of DOE’s graded approach for evaluating radiation doses to aquatic and terrestrial biota. Limiting concentrations of radionuclides in water, soil, and sediment were derived for 23 radionuclides. Four organism types (aquatic animals; riparian animals; terrestrial animals; and terrestrial plants) were selected as the basis for development of the screening method. Internal doses for each organism type were calculated as the product of contaminant concentration, bioaccumulation factor(s) and dose conversion factors. External doses were calculated based on the assumption of immersion of the organism in soil, sediment, or water. The assumptions and default parameters used provide for conservative screening values. The screening methodology within DOE’s graded approach should prove useful in demonstrating compliance with biota dose limits and for conducting screening assessments of radioecological impact. It provides a needed evaluation tool that can be employed within a framework for protection of the environment.

It has become a useful tool for comparative physiology. There are several allometric equations that relate body size to many parameters, including ingestion rate, lifespan, inhalation rate, home range and more. While these equations were originally derived from empirical observations, there is a growing body of evidence that these relationships have their origins in the dynamics of energy transport mechanisms. As part of an ongoing effort by the Department of Energy in developing generic methods for evaluating radiation dose to biota, we have examined the utility of applying allometric techniques to predicting radionuclide tissue concentration across a large range of terrestrial and riparian species of animals. This particular study examined 23 radionuclides. Initial investigations suggest that the allometric approach can provide a useful tool to derive limiting values of uptake and elimination factors for animals.

The application of biodosimetry to environmental exposure scenarios could greatly improve the accuracy, and reduce the uncertainties, of ecological risk assessments and biomonitoring studies, because no assumptions are required regarding external exposure rates and the movement of organisms into and out of contaminated areas. Furthermore, unlike residue analyses of environmental media, environmental biodosimetry provides a genetically relevant biomarker of cumulative lifetime exposure. Symmetrical chromosome translocations can impact reproductive success, and could therefore prove to be ecologically relevant as well. We describe our experience in studying aberrations in the yellow-bellied slider turtle as an example of environmental biodosimetry.

The initial choice of sintered 316L stainless steel material was the result of the need for a robust and acid resistant membrane having the potential for aqueous separations capabilities. The membrane material tested had a nominal filtration rating (particle cut-off) of 0.5 μm and a thickness of approximately 0.123 cm. Characterization tests conducted were used to determine the pore size distribution, mean pore diameter, porosity, and tortuosity of the stainless steel membrane material. Results indicated that the average pore diameter was approximately 2.2 μm and the average of the porosity was determined to be 24.9%. The diffusion tortuosity, determined from the measurement of 14C-labeled sucrose diffusion through the stainless steel membrane, was estimated to be approximately 1.3.

JO - Journal of Neutron Research JF - Journal of Neutron Research Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 11 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 51 PB - IOS Press SN - 10238166 AB - At a spallation neutron source, the wavelength of a neutron is generally determined by its time-of-flight (TOF) from the source to the detector. The achievable precision is ultimately limited by the non-zero emission time-width of the source/moderator system. Particularly, coupled moderators that are used to produce high-intensity cold neutron beams show long "tails" in the intensity/time distribution for all wavelengths. For this reason, much less intense decoupled moderators are often used for instruments that require high resolution. We present here a novel technique for dynamic energy filtering of thermal and cold polarized neutron beams. The device consists of a polarizer/analyzer system and an energy-selective spin-resonance flipper. By drifting its resonance condition in synchronization with the TOF, the filter controls the energy resolution of a broad bandwidth TOF neutron pulse. Calculations show that substantial resolution gains are obtainable by applying this technique to a TOF neutron reflectometer.

This pellet approach appears to be necessary to provide cooling capabilities to a solid moderator material under heavy heat loads, and furthermore appears to offer the only realistic mechanism for permitting solid moderators in situations where the moderator material stores energy from radiation damage at a significant rate. Current use of solid moderators (e.g. methane at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source facility) is significantly limited by the need to avoid catastrophic release of this stored energy.

The analyses were performed on samples cut from 7-mm diameter rods, which were prepared by quenching the melt at cooling rates of approximately 200 K/s. All the alloys were examined in the as-quenched condition. In the Pd40Ni40−xFexP20 glasses, the increase in Fe concentration causes a systematic increase in the clustering of palladium and ordering of phosphorus. The 20% Fe alloy exhibited a two-phase microstructure. The (Pd50Cu50)100−xPx glasses exhibited fine-scale phase separation into copper-enriched/phosphorus-depleted and copper-depleted/phosphorus-enriched regions. These observations follow from statistical analysis of the concentration frequency distributions, the composition enrichments of shells around each atom, and composition maps.

The MEAM potentials developed here predict the melting temperatures of pure Ni and Zr, and those of the known NiZr intermetallic compounds to better than 13%. For all known intermetallic crystalline structures, the enthalpies of formation predicted by the MEAM model compare favorably to experimental data. The calculated atomic volumes show a slight negative deviation from Vegard’s law. Calculated values of the shear modulus of the amorphous phase also show good agreement with experiment.

Conversely, the Zr70Pd20Cu10 alloy shows an additional transformation of the quasicrystalline phase to a meta-stable Zr2(PdCu) intermetallic (Zr2Si type structure, I4/mcm) that polymorphically transforms to the Zr2Ni type structure (I4/mmm) over a very narrow temperature range.

Here, thermally induced crystallization of the beryllium–boron metallic glass is reported. The samples are characterized during an in situ annealing treatment with bright field imaging and electron diffraction using transmission electron microscopy. A nanocrystalline structure evolves from the annealed amorphous phase and the crystallization temperature is affected by the boron concentration.

Gas atomized Cu47Ti34Zr11Ni8 powders were consolidated at various temperatures above their glass transition temperature (688 K) at extrusion ratios of 5, 9 and 13. At extrusion temperatures approaching Tx (743 K), powders consolidated at an extrusion ratio of 5 were predominantly amorphous while at higher ratios the powders were completely devitrified, yet fully consolidated. Gradients in the degree of devitrification were observed along the length (i.e., top to bottom) of all extruded materials.

Powder was vacuum encapsulated in copper cans and extruded at a temperature above the glass transition temperature (Tg), but below the crystallization temperature (Tx). Five samples were subjected to one extrusion pass, each with a different temperature and extrusion rate. Microstructure, thermal stability, X-ray diffraction measurements and hardness of the ECAE consolidates were examined and compared with those of the initial powder and with a conventional extrusion (CE) consolidate. All consolidates exhibit a supercooled liquid region slightly narrower than that of the starting powder. No significant crystallization peaks are observed in XRD measurements; however, changes in peak shape and the total enthalpy of crystallization in differential scanning calorimetry measurements are attributed to nanocrystallization that is not easily detected by these methods. Greater microhardness values in ECAE consolidates in comparison with the starting powder also support the probability of nanocrystallization. The brittle behavior exhibited by all consolidates is attributed to an initial high oxygen contamination of the powder (∼2000 ppm) and the possibility of crystallization due to long exposure to temperatures above Tg during consolidation. Microstructural examination of the ECAE consolidates shows significant shear deformation of the particles with one ECAE pass. The results of the present study encourage further work on the fabrication of bulk metallic glass from powder by ECAE consolidation.

It was suspected that environmental effects degraded the fatigue life. In the present study, a zirconium-based BMG, BMG-11 (Zr–10Al–5Ti–17.9Cu–14.6Ni, at.%), was tested in vacuum and air. This comparison was made to define any detrimental environmental effects due to water vapor on the fatigue lifetime of BMG-11. The limited results obtained so far suggest that water vapor in air does not affect the lifetime. Moreover, the fatigue endurance limit for BMG-11 in air was found to be quite high, 907 MPa, and comparable to, or better than, those of many conventional high-strength alloys.

The shear and bulk modulus were measured by resonant-ultrasound spectroscopy. Annealing causes the density and shear modulus to increase, but the bulk modulus remains approximately constant. Following annealing, plastic deformation reduces both the density and shear modulus to their values in the as-quenched samples. A linear relationship was found between the shear modulus and the density. The relative change in the shear modulus is approximately 25 times larger than the relative change in the density.

It is desirable to use jet pumps to suppress streaming because they do not introduce moving parts such as bellows or membranes. In most cases, this form of streaming suppression works reliably. However, in some cases, the streaming suppression has been found to be unstable. Using a simple model of the acoustics in the regenerators and jet pumps of these devices, a stability criterion is derived that predicts when jet pumps can reliably suppress streaming. © 2003 Acoustical Society of America.

To follow the linear elastic behavior, both compressional and shear waves are used in wide band pulse echo mode. Through the value of the complex reflection coefficient between the cell material (Lucite) and the concrete within the cell, the elastic moduli are calculated. Simultaneously, the transmission of a continuous compressional sine wave at progressively increasing drive levels permits us to calculate the nonlinear properties by extracting the harmonics amplitudes of the signal. Information regarding the chemical evolution of the concrete based upon the reaction of hydration of cement is obtained by monitoring the temperature inside the sample. These different types of measurements are linked together to interpret the critical behavior. © 2003 Acoustical Society of America.

The micro-bend test method developed by Sto¨lken and Evans [Acta Mater. 46 (1998) 5109] is used to obtain a composite length scale parameter, lc that is primarily associated with rotational gradients. The micro-bend test utilizes the measurement of the curvature change associated with elastic spring-back of bent micro-beams in the extraction of a composite length scale parameter, lc. The length scale is measured to be 5.6 μm for foils between 25 and 175 μm thick. This is in the range (3–5 μm) reported from prior micro-bend experiments on nickel foils (loc. cit.). The measured length scale is also similar to values reported previously for polycrystalline copper wires using torsion tests in which rotation gradients dominate.

This problem is the analogy of the dielectric wedge problem in electromagnetics. A Fourier transform method is used to derive equations which can readily be solved numerically. The unknowns are the Fourier transforms of the displacements and tractions on the interfaces of the wedge. Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with simple continuous kernels are obtained after taking a physically reasonable representation of the unknown quantities. Numerical results for the diffraction coefficients are presented. The method can be generalized for incidence of Stonely, plane P-, or SV-waves.

Analyses were carried out to study the distribution of temperature in the HFET under steady-state conditions for two different steady-current inputs. Two different substrates for the HFET, sapphire and silicon carbide (SiC), were studied. The paper discusses the effect of using a heat sink and also that of using reasonable contact resistances on the substrate side of the HFET, on the temperature profile. In all cases, the gate region of the HFET was found to attain the highest temperature. Subsequent experiments to validate the results of the computational analysis were carried out at the Oakridge National Laboratories, Knoxville, and are also presented in this paper.

We find evidence for a long-term period of 421.29 ± 0.95 d in the archival data, and examine its stability. We also combine the archival and MACHO data sets in order to improve the accuracy of the orbital period determination, using a cycle-counting analysis to refine its value to 16.6460 ± 0.0004 d .

T1 - The RHIC design overview JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 499 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 245 EP - 263 SN - 01689002 AB - The salient performance objectives for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are presented and the rationale for the design choices of the major collider systems is conveyed. RHIC provides collisions of heavy ions covering the entire mass range from protons to gold. For the prototypical case of Au-on-Au, one obtains energies up to 100 GeV/n per beam and luminosities of ∼2×1026 cm-2 s-1, averaged over a 10-h storage time. Operation with polarized protons is also possible. The overall accelerator complex used for gold ions consists of the Tandem Van de Graaff, the Booster, the AGS, and the Collider itself, and the scenario for the beam transfer between machines is described. The two separate collider rings cross at six interaction points, where the lattice design provides low-beta insertions for maximum luminosity. The interaction diamond length of <20 cm rms is achieved by bunched beam operation and holding the 56 bunches in a 197 MHz radio-frequency (RF) system after their acceleration in a 28 MHz RF system. The rings are constructed with superconducting magnets, which have a cold bore aperture of 6.9 cm in the arcs. The RHIC specific design challenges posed by intrabeam scattering of heavy ions, passage through transition energy with slow-ramping superconducting magnets, and control of magnetic errors in the low-beta triplet quadrupoles are addressed.

These magnets make up the steering and focusing elements for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). In addition to meeting the accelerator demands, reliability, flexibility, safety, and ease of operation were key considerations during the design phase of the project. The refrigerator, with a capacity of 25 kW at about 4 K, was originally designed to match the load for the Colliding Beam Accelerator Project. The existing refrigerator, along with its complimentary warm compressor system was reconfigured slightly to meet the cooling process cycle design for RHIC. The original VAX based process control system was also adapted for RHIC, and later expanded upon to integrate a new programmable logic controller based ring resident control system, hence forming a common system to monitor and control all cryogenic components.

It is designed to allow operation in the energy range 30–100 GeV/u. Operation with either equal or unequal ion species in the colliding beams is possible, imposing a ratio of up to 2.5:1 in the magnetic fields of the two rings. There are 1740 superconducting magnets in the machine. They were designed to meet stringent requirements on field quality, reproducibility, and long-term reliability while being inexpensive to produce. Wherever feasible, production of magnets and components was carried out in industry, always with build-to-print designs. After several years of operation, no magnet has failed and the magnet system has proven reliable and functional.

These systems have a cumulative length over 10 km and a total volume over 3000 m3. Conventional ultrahigh vacuum technology was used in the design and construction of the cold and warm beam vacuum systems with great success. The long and large insulating vacuum volumes without vacuum barriers require careful management of the welding and leak checking of the numerous helium line joints. There are about 1500 vacuum gauges and pumps serial-linked to eight PLCs distributed around RHIC, which allow the monitoring and control of these devices through Ethernet networks to remote control consoles. With the exception of helium leaks through the cryogenic valve boxes into the insulating vacuum volumes, the RHIC vacuum systems have performed well beyond expectations.

Alekseev, et al., Design Manual Polarized Proton Collider at RHIC, Brookhaven National Laboratory, 1998 [2]), reaching transverse energies where the protons scatter as beams of polarized quarks and gluons. The study of high energy polarized protons beams has been a long term part of the program at BNL with the development of polarized beams in the Booster and AGS rings for fixed target experiments. We have extended this capability to the RHIC machine. In this paper we describe the design and methods for achieving collisions of both longitudinal and transverse polarized protons in RHIC at energies up to √ of s=500 GeV.

The commissioning provided collisions of the fully stripped gold ions at a beam energy of 65 GeV/nucleon in all four experiments “STAR”, “PHENIX”, “PHOBOS”, and “BRAHMS”. They collected more than 3 μb-1 of data. Measurements of betatron and dispersion functions have shown excellent agreement with predictions. Diagnostic results from tune-meter, wall current monitor, chromaticity, decoupling measurements, ionization beam profile monitor, Schottky monitors, etc. are shown. Progress towards stable gold ion beam stores with optimized luminosity is described [Proceedings of the HEACC2001 The 18th International Conference On High Energy Accelerators, March 26–30, 2001, Tsukuba, Japan, March, 2001]. Few major commissioning challenges are described first. The most important results, from some of the RHIC systems, are shown in the next section. In the following section bringing beams from two separate “blue” and “yellow” rings into collisions and measurements during long beam stores are described. In the summary part necessary steps and commissioning of additional systems during the next RHIC-2001 run are mentioned.

The experiment consists of two spectrometers with complementary charged hadron detection capabilities as well as a series of global detectors for event characterization. A series of tracking detectors, time-of-flight arms and Cherenkov detectors enables momentum determination and particle identification over a wide range of rapidity and transverse momentum. Technical details and performance results are presented for the various detector subsystems. The performance of the entire system working together is shown to meet the goals of the experiment.

A wide variety of probes, sensitive to all timescales, are used to study systematic variations with species and energy as well as to measure the spin structure of the nucleon. Designing for the needs of the heavy-ion and polarized-proton programs has produced a detector with unparalleled capabilities. PHENIX measures electron and muon pairs, photons, and hadrons with excellent energy and momentum resolution. The detector consists of a large number of subsystems that are discussed in other papers in this volume. The overall design parameters of the detector are presented.

The Central Magnet (CM) is energized by two pairs of concentric coils and provides a field around the interaction vertex that is parallel to the beam. This allows momentum analysis of charged particles in the polar angle range from 70° to 110°. The north and south Muon Magnets (MMN and MMS) use solenoid coils to produce a radial magnetic field for muon analysis. They each cover a pseudorapidity interval of 1.1–2.3 and full azimuth. The coils are wound on cylindrical surfaces at the end of large tapered pistons. Each of the three magnets provides a field integral of about 0.8 T-m. The physical and operating parameters of the magnets and their coils are given along with a description of the magnetic fields generated. The geometric, thermal and magnetic analysis leading to the coil design is discussed. The magnetic volumes of the PHENIX magnets are very large and complex, so a new technique was developed to map the fields based on surface measurements of a single field component using single axis Hall probes mounted on a rotating frame. A discussion of the performance of the CM during the first year of PHENIX running is given.

PC1/DC and PC2/TEC/PC3 form the inner and outer tracking units, respectively. These units link the track segments that transverse the RICH and extend to the EMCal. The DC measures charged particle trajectories in the rφ direction to determine pT of the particles and the invariant mass of particle pairs. The PCs perform 3D spatial point measurements for pattern recognition and longitudinal momentum reconstruction and provide spatial resolution of a few mm in both rφ and z. The TEC tracks particles passing through the region between the RICH and the EMCal. The design and operational parameters of the detectors are presented and running experience during the first year of data taking with PHENIX is discussed. The observed spatial and momentum resolution is given which imposes a limitation on the identification and characterization of charged particles in various momentum ranges.

It covers the full central spectrometer acceptance of 70°⩽θ⩽110° with two walls, each subtending 90° in azimuth. One wall comprises four sectors of a Pb-scintillator sampling calorimeter and the other has two sectors of Pb-scintillator and two of a Pb-glass Cherenkov calorimeter. Both detectors have very good energy, spatial and timing resolution, while the Pb-scintillator excels in timing and the Pb-glass in energy measurements. Also, having two detectors with different systematics increases the confidence level of the physics results. Design and operational parameters of the Pb-scintillator, Pb-glass and special readout electronics for EMCal are presented and running experience during the first year of data taking with PHENIX is discussed. Some examples of data taken during the first run are shown.

Each muon arm must track and identify muons and provide good rejection of pions and kaons (∼10-3). In order to accomplish this we employ a radial field magnetic spectrometer with precision tracking (Muon Tracker) followed by a stack of absorber/low resolution tracking layers (Muon Identifier). The design, construction, testing and expected run parameters of both the muon tracker and the muon identifier are described.

The BBCs provide both the time of interaction and position of a collision from the flight time of prompt particles. The MVD provides a measure of event particle multiplicity, collision vertex position and fluctuations in charged particle distributions. The ZDCs provide information on the most grazing collisions. A Normalization Trigger Counter (NTC) is used to obtain absolute cross-section measurements for p–p collisions. The BBC, MVD and NTC are described below.

Processing of event data begins when the Data Collection Modules (DCM) receive data via fiber-optic links from the FEMs. The DCMs format and zero suppress the data and generate data packets. These packets go to the Event Builders (EvB) that assemble the events in final form. The Level-1 trigger (LVL1) generates a decision for each beam crossing and eliminates uninteresting events. The FEMs carry out all detector processing of the data so that it is delivered to the DCMs using a standard format. The FEMs also provide buffering for LVL1 trigger processing and DCM data collection. This is carried out using an architecture that is pipelined and deadtimeless. All of this is controlled by the Master Timing System (MTS) that distributes the RHIC clocks. A Level-2 trigger (LVL2) gives additional discrimination. A description of the components and operation of the PHENIX On-Line system is given and the solution to a number of electronic infrastructure problems are discussed.

ONCS provides the overall control and monitoring of the front-end electronics, trigger and data acquisition system and detector ancillary systems. It configures and initializes the on-line system, monitors and controls the data flow, coordinates calibration processes, interlocks the data acquisition process with the slow control subsystems and performs a number of other functions. ONCS uses CORBA software to monitor and control the hardware. Off-Line provides all aspects of data handling not directly connected to the collection of data and monitoring, such as event simulation and reconstruction, data analysis and information management. The impact of the unprecedented data volumes on the design is presented, along with a detailed discussion of the tasks and methods of simulating, obtaining and monitoring the data.

It is capable of detecting charged particles over the full solid angle using a multiplicity detector and measuring identified charged particles near mid-rapidity in two spectrometer arms with opposite magnetic fields. Both of these components utilize silicon pad detectors for charged particle detection. The minimization of material between the collision vertex and the first layers of silicon detectors allows for the detection of charged particles with very low transverse momenta, which is a unique feature of the PHOBOS experiment. Additional detectors include a time-of-flight wall which extends the particle identification range for one spectrometer arm, as well as sets of scintillator paddle and Cherenkov detector arrays for event triggering and centrality selection.

As designed for the STAR-SVT, (SDDs) are capable of providing unambiguous two-dimensional hit position measurements with resolutions on the order of 20 μm in each coordinate. In addition, a high-resolution energy loss measurement in the three layers of the SVT enables good particle identification. We describe features of the design of the STAR-SVT SDDs and electronics that are motivated by such characteristics. We also detail the mechanical structure, assembly procedures, and performance characteristics of the completed device.

The TPC is the central element in a suite of detectors that surrounds the interaction vertex. The TPC provides complete coverage around the beam-line, and provides complete tracking for charged particles within ±1.8 units of pseudo-rapidity of the center-of-mass frame. Charged particles with momenta greater than 100 MeV/c are recorded. Multiplicities in excess of 3000 tracks per event are routinely reconstructed in the software. The TPC measures 4 m in diameter by 4.2 m long, making it the largest TPC in the world.

To determine spatial distortions, calibrate and monitor the TPC, a laser calibration system has been built. We developed a novel design to produce ∼500 thin laser beams simulating straight particle tracks in the TPC volume. The new approach is significantly simpler than the traditional ones, and provides a higher TPC coverage at a reduced cost. During RHIC 2000 and 2001 runs the laser system was used to monitor the TPC performance and measure drift velocity with ∼0.02% accuracy. Additional runs were recorded with and without magnetic field to check E×B corrections.

It includes a scintillating-strip shower-maximum detector to provide π0/γ discrimination and preshower and postshower layers to aid in distinguishing between electrons and charged hadrons. The triggering capabilities and coverage it offers are crucial for much of the spin physics program to be carried out in polarized proton–proton collisions.

STAR is one of four experiments commissioned at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL in 1999 and 2000. DAQ combines custom VME-based receiver electronics with off-the-shelf computers in a parallel architecture interconnected with a Myrinet network. Events of size 80 MB are processed at input rates up to 100 Hz. Events are reduced to 10 MB by zero suppression performed in hardware using custom-designed ASICs. A Level 3 Trigger reconstructs tracks in real time and provides a physics-based filter to further reduce the sustained output data rate to ∼30 MB/s. Built events are sent via Gigabit Ethernet to the RHIC Computing Facility and stored to tape using HPSS.

The STAR hardware controls system monitors and controls approximately 14,000 parameters in the STAR detector. Voltages, currents, temperatures, and other parameters are monitored. Effort has been minimized by the adoption of experiment-wide standards and the use of pre-packaged software tools. The system is based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) . VME processors communicate with subsystem-based sensors over a variety of field busses, with High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) being the most prevalent. Other features of the system include interfaces to accelerator and magnet control systems, a web-based archiver, and C++-based communication between STAR online, run control and hardware controls and their associated databases. The system has been designed for easy expansion as new detector elements are installed in STAR.

This group managed the general space assignments for each sub-system and coordinated the assembly and planning for the detector. Furthermore, as this group was the only STAR group with the responsibility of looking at the system as a whole, the collaboration assigned it several tasks that spanned the different sub-detectors. These items included grounding, rack layout, cable distribution, electrical, power and water, and safety systems. This paper describes these systems and their performance.

T1 - Anisotropic horizontal viscosity for ocean models JO - Ocean Modelling JF - Ocean Modelling Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 5 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 129 SN - 14635003 AB - A consistent mathematical formulation of a horizontally anisotropic friction operator is developed for use as a subgrid-scale turbulence parameterization in ocean general circulation models. It is derived as the divergence of a deviatoric stress tensor that represents the traceless part of the Reynolds stress tensor. The stress tensor is assumed to depend linearly on the velocity gradients, has the property that no stresses are generated by uniform rotation, and the viscous coefficients can be chosen to ensure the friction terms are purely dissipative of kinetic energy. The anisotropy is determined by an arbitrary field of horizontal unit vectors that specify a preferred direction at each point in space which breaks the transverse isotropy. This direction may be aligned with east–west (e.g., to describe anisotropy associated with the beta effect), with gradients of topography, with the mean flow, or with any other preferred direction which is expected to break the horizontal isotropy of turbulent momentum dissipation. The general anisotropic formulation involves four viscous coefficients, compared to only two in the isotropic case. A reduced two-coefficient anisotropic form is derived by neglecting terms in the energy dissipation rate proportional to the horizontal velocity divergence, which in geophysical flows is small compared to typical horizontal velocity gradients. This form involves different viscosities in the directions parallel and perpendicular to . Experimental measurements of Reynolds stresses in self-preserving shear flows are shown to exhibit this type of anisotropy when is aligned with the mean flow. The two-coefficient form is evaluated in numerical simulations in a periodic zonal channel. A functional discretization of the operator which ensures positive-definite dissipation of kinetic energy is also presented in an appendix.

To obtain high values of RRR, high purity reagents are necessary. With the isotopically pure boron we obtained the highest RRR∼20 for the stoichiometric compound. We also investigated Mgx11B2 samples with 0.8. For the range Mg0.811B2 up to Mg1.211B2 we found average values of RRR between 14 and 24. For smaller variations in stoichiometry (x=1±0.1) RRR=18±3. All of our data point to the conclusion that high RRR (∼20) and low ρ0 (0.4 μΩ cm) are intrinsic material properties associated with high purity MgB2. In addition we have performed initial work on optimizing the formation of carbon doped MgB2 via the use of B4C. Nearly single phase material can be formed by reaction of nominal Mg(B0.8C0.2)2 for 24 h at 1200 °C. The Tc for this composition is between 21.9 and 22.7 K (depending on criterion).

It is shown that the relatively high transition temperature of MgB2 originates from strong electron–phonon coupling of the hole states in the boron σ-bonds although the coupling strength averaged over the Fermi surface is moderate, and the reduction of the isotope effect arises from the large anharmonicity of the relevant phonons. The superconducting energy gap is nodeless but its value varies strongly on different pieces of the Fermi surface. The gap values Δ(k) cluster into two groups at low temperature, a small value of ∼2 meV and a large value of ∼7 meV, resulting in two thresholds in the quasiparticle density of states and an increase in the specific heat at low temperature due to quasiparticle excitations over the small gap. All of these results are in good agreement with corresponding experiments and support the view that MgB2 is a phonon-mediated multiple-gap superconductor.

The analysis of these oscillations provides an important and precise check of band-structure calculations, as well as a measure of the many body electron–phonon interactions, which enhance the quasi-particle effective masses and give rise to superconductivity. Orbits are observed on both the σ and π bands, with dHvA frequencies in good agreement with recent calculations. By comparing the measured quasi-particle effective masses with band masses calculated recently by three groups, we find that the electron–phonon coupling strength λ is a factor ∼3 larger on the 2D σ orbits than on the 3D π orbits, in accord with recent microscopic calculations. We are therefore able to verify two of the key ingredients in the two-gap model of superconductivity in this compound, namely the Fermi surface topology and the disparity in the electron–phonon coupling for the σ and π bands.

T1 - Dependence of the superconducting transition temperature of single and polycrystalline MgB2 on hydrostatic pressure JO - Physica C JF - Physica C Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 385 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 105 SN - 09214534 AB - The dependence of Tc for MgB2 on purely hydrostatic or nearly hydrostatic pressure has been determined to 29 GPa for single-crystalline and to 32 GPa for polycrystalline samples, and found to be in good agreement. Tc decreases from 39 K at ambient pressure to 15 K at 32 GPa with an initial slope dTc/dP≃−1.11(2) K/GPa. Evidence is presented that the differing values of dTc/dP reported in the literature may result primarily from shear-stress effects in nonhydrostatic pressure media rather than from differences in the samples. Although comparison of these results with theory supports phonon-mediated superconductivity, a critical test of theory must await calculations based on the solution of the anisotropic Eliashberg equations as a function of the lattice parameters.

A value of 9.4 nm is found for the zero-temperature in-plane coherence length. The superconducting anisotropy coefficient, γ, increases monotonously from a value around 2 near Tc to 4.5 at low temperature. The current dependence and angular dependence of the resistive transitions give evidence for a surface superconducting state for H∥c which might account for the wide spread in reported values of the superconducting anisotropy.

Both samples are of exceptionally high quality: At the critical temperature the discontinuity in specific heat is higher than that of other samples, the transition is sharper than for most samples, and the signature feature of the small, non-BCS energy gap is particularly pronounced. The results are compared with a phenomenological model for a multi-gap superconductor, with band-structure calculations, and with spectroscopic determinations of the energy gaps.

We use tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to reveal the two distinct energy gaps at Δ1=2.3 meV and Δ2=7.1 meV. Different spectral weights of the partial superconducting density of states are a reflection of different tunneling directions in this multi-band system. The results are consistent with the existence of two-band superconductivity in the presence of strong interband superconducting pair interaction and quasiparticle scattering. The temperature evolution of the tunneling spectra shows both gaps vanishing at the bulk Tc.

The collective tunneling literature reveals two distinct energy scales, a large gap, ΔL∼7.2 meV, close to the expected BCS value, and a small gap, ΔS∼2.4 meV. The SIS break junctions show clearly that the small gap closes near the bulk critical temperature, Tc=39 K. The SIS spectra allow proximity effects to be ruled out as the cause for the small gap and therefore make a strong case that MgB2 is a coupled, two-band superconductor. While the break junctions sometimes reveal parallel contributions to the conductance from both bands, it is more often found that ΔS dominates the spectra. In these cases, a subtle feature is observed near ΔS+ΔL that is reminiscent of strong-coupling effects. This feature is consistent with quasiparticle scattering contributions to the interband coupling which provides an important insight into the nature of two-band superconductivity in MgB2.

It is found that titanium can be co-deposited with the boron to make long lengths of doped fiber that contain both TiB and TiB2. When this fiber is reacted in Mg vapor to transform boron into MgB2, the resulting conductor has a superconducting critical current density of about 5×106 A/cm2 at 5 K and self-field. The critical current density at 25 K and 1 T is 10,000 A/cm2. Using optical methods to define grain boundaries and energy dispersive X-rays to determine Ti and Mg concentration, these samples show a fine dispersion of Ti through out the grains and no conspicuous precipitation of TiB2 on the MgB2 grain boundaries. This is to be contrasted with the precipitation of TiB2 on MgB2 grain boundaries observed for samples prepared by solid state reaction of Ti, Mg, and B powders. Introducing Ti impurities into the B during the CVD deposition of the B gives a distribution of TiB2 in the resulting MgB2 different from solid state reaction of powders.

This technique was demonstrated for the first time with Lunar Prospector around the Moon. Here, we report results for moderated neutrons having energies from 0 to 500 keV that were measured using the anti-coincidence shield (ACS) of the gamma-ray spectrometer. We describe the detection method, followed by data reduction with an emphasis on each data processing step; most steps rely on in-flight calibrations. The behavior of the ACS is well known regarding the measurement of moderated neutrons. We present a map of 0–500 keV neutrons over the whole Moon with a spatial resolution of ∼60 km. Statistical errors per pixel are less than 2%. The resulting map includes information about the hydrogen content, concentrations of Fe, Ti, traces of Sm and Gd, and the atomic mass of the regolith. These data complement other neutron products of Lunar Prospector, namely thermal (0–0.4 eV), epithermal (0.4–100 eV) and fast (0.5–8 MeV) neutrons. The previous unexplored region between 100 eV and 500 keV reveals several high counting rate regions that are also visible in epithermal neutron data.

The effects of laser polarization can only be understood by considering the Zeeman structure of energy levels. In particular, the case of laser coupling of degenerate levels is considered by including the Zeeman structure of the upper and lower energy levels. The interaction of the laser radiation with the atomic or molecular resonance is formulated in terms of the density matrix. The electric-dipole matrix elements are written as the product of a scalar quantity, the reduced density matrix element, and a vector quantity that is a function of the angular momentum quantum numbers J and magnetic quantum numbers M for the upper and lower Zeeman states. The calculation of absorption and stimulated emission rates, absorption coefficients, and susceptibilities for the limiting case of an isotropic medium is reviewed. Polarization effects in laser-induced fluorescence are reviewed, and the theoretical framework for the analysis of these effects is developed. The calculation of polarization spectroscopy signals and of polarization effects in resonant four-wave mixing are discussed. The effects of hyperfine structure in diatomic molecules are discussed.

T1 - Cool flame partial oxidation and its role in combustion and reforming of fuels for fuel cell systems JO - Progress in Energy & Combustion Science JF - Progress in Energy & Combustion Science Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 29 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 155 SN - 03601285 AB - The purpose of this review was to integrate the most recent and relevant investigations on the auto-oxidation of fuel oils and their reforming into hydrogen-rich gas that could serve as a feed for fuel cells and combustion systems. We consider the incorporation of partial oxidation under cool flame conditions to be a significant step in the reforming process for generation of hydrogen-rich gas. Therefore, we have paid particular attention to the partial oxidation of fuels at low temperature in the cool flame region. This is still not a well-understood feature in the oxidation of fuels and can potentially serve as a precursor to low NOx emissions and low soot formation. Pretreatment, including atomization, vaporization and burner technology are also briefly reviewed. The oxidation of reference fuels (n-heptane C7H16, iso-octane C8H18 and to a lesser extent cetane C16H34) in the intermediate and high temperature ranges have been studied extensively and it is examined here to show the significant progress made in modeling the kinetics and mechanisms, and in the evaluation of ignition delay times. However, due to the complex nature of real fuels such as petroleum distillates (diesel and jet fuel) and biofuels, much less is known on the kinetics and mechanisms of their oxidation, as well as on the resulting reaction products formed during partial oxidation. The rich literature on the oxidation of fuels is, hence, limited to the cited main reference fuels. We have also covered recent developments in the catalytic reforming of fuels. In the presence of catalysts, the fuels can be reformed through partial oxidation, steam reforming and autothermal reforming (ATR) to generate hydrogen. But optimum routes to produce cost effective hydrogen fuel from conventional or derivative fuels are still debatable. It is suggested that the use of products emanating from partial oxidation of fuels under cool flame conditions could be attractive in such reforming processes, but this is as yet untested. The exploitation of developments in oxidation, combustion and reforming processes is always impacted by the resulting emission of pollutants, including NOx, SOx, CO and soot, which have an impact on the health of the fragile ecosystem. Attention is paid to the progress made in innovative techniques developed to reduce the level of pollutants resulting from oxidation and reforming processes. In the last part, we summarize the present status of the topics covered and present prospects for future research. This information forms the basis for recommended themes that are vital in developing the next generation energy-efficient combustion and fuel cell technologies.

The different phases can be crystals, mesophases, liquids, and glasses. The glasses may have structures which correspond to liquids or mesophases and can exist even above the glass transition temperature of the mobile macrophase as rigid–amorphous fractions. This multilevel structure causes rather unique properties which vary with the thermal and mechanical history of the materials. Temperature-modulated calorimetry and related techniques which can separate equilibrium and nonequilibrium responses are ideal for the analysis of such structures. The techniques of thermal analysis needed to separate reversible from irreversible processes is described, and the transitions of the rigid–amorphous phase and the major reversible processes involving latent heats is discussed on hand of the literature. As baselines for this discussion, the vibrational heat capacity of crystals and glasses of the ATHAS Data Bank will be used.

New cosmogenic isotope measurements from upland bedrock surfaces and erratics along the northeastern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) shed light on this debate. 10Be and 26Al concentrations from three perched erratics, yielding cosmogenic exposure ages of 17–11 ka, are much lower than those measured in two unmodified, highly weathered tors upon which they lie, which yield cosmogenic exposure ages of >60 ka. These findings suggest that non-erosive ice covered weathered upland surfaces along the northeastern margin of the LIS during the last glacial maximum. These data challenge the use of relative weathering to define the margins of Pleistocene ice sheets. The juxtaposition of non-erosive ice over upland plateaus and erosive ice in adjacent fiords requires strong gradients in basal thermal regimes, suggestive of an ice-stream mode of glaciation.

In the presence of our results, those models must be reviewed. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the E2g phonon frequency yields an isobaric Gru¨neisen parameter of &z.sfnc;γE2g&z.sfnc;≲1, smaller than the value of 3.9 obtained from isothermal Raman experiments under pressure. It is suggested that this apparent disagreement can be explained in terms of pressure-induced changes of the topology of the Fermi surface.

The structure of the E. coli clamp loader in a nucleotide-free state has been determined previously. We now report crystal structures of a truncated form of the isolated γ-ATPase subunit, γ1–243, of the E. coli clamp loader, in nucleotide-free and bound forms. The γ subunit adopts a defined conformation when empty, in which the nucleotide binding site is blocked. The binding of either ATPγS or ADP, which are shown to bind with equal affinity to γ1–243, induces a change in the relative orientation of the two domains such that nucleotides can be accommodated. This change would break one of the γ:γ interfaces seen in the empty clamp loader complex, and may represent one step in the activation process.

Pore deformation was modeled by volume reduction of spherical voids embedded in a homogenous soil matrix. External constant stress and overburden were considered as steady stresses because the change in interaggregate contact stress under overburden is slow compared to the associated strain rate. In contrast, stress due to passage of farm implements was considered as transient because the rate of change of interaggregate stress is comparable with the strain rate. Rheological behavior of the soil matrix under steady and transient stresses was obtained from independent rheological measurements. Experimental data from the literature were used to illustrate the model. Model predictions of relative density compared favorably with experimental data for constant stress application as well as for constant strain rate experiments. Results showed that the rate of densification decreased as the relative density approached unity (complete pore closure) and the relative stress required for driving densification increased exponentially with increasing relative density.

To model this phenomena, we consider a mechanistic approach based on forms of modified invasion percolation (MIP) that include gravity, the influence of the local interfacial curvature along the phase-phase interface, and the simultaneous invasion and reinvasion of both wetting and nonwetting fluids. We present example simulations and compare them to experimental data for three very different situations: (1) downward gravity-driven fingering of water into a dry, homogeneous, water-wettable, porous medium; (2) upward buoyancy-driven migration of gas within a water saturated, heterogeneous, water-wettable, porous medium; and (3) downward gravity-driven fingering of water into a dry, water-wettable, rough-walled fracture.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 39 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - It is commonly assumed in stochastic solute (advective) transport models that either the velocity field is stationary (statistically homogeneous) or the mean flow is unidirectional. In this study, using a Lagrangian approach, we develop a general stochastic model for transport in variably saturated flow in randomly heterogeneous porous media. The mean flow in the model is multidirectional, and the velocity field can be nonstationary (with location-dependent statistics). The nonstationarity of the velocity field may be caused by statistical nonhomogeneity of medium properties or complex boundary configurations. The particle's mean position is determined using the mean Lagrangian velocity. Particle spreading (the displacement covariances) is expressed in terms of the state transition matrix that satisfies a time-varying dynamic equation whose coefficient matrix is the derivative of the mean Lagrangian velocity field. In the special cases of stationary velocity fields the transition matrix becomes the identical matrix, and our model reduces to the well-known model of Dagan [1984]. For nonstationary but unidirectional flow fields our model reduces to that of Butera and Tanda [1999] and Sun and Zhang [2000]. The validity of the transport model is examined by comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations for the following three cases: transport in a mean gravity-dominated flow, in an unsaturated flow with a water table boundary, and in a saturated-unsaturated flow. An excellent agreement is found between our model results and those from Monte Carlo simulations.

With a certain amount of fine-tuning, we find a solution of the mean field equations that seems to support string formation.

While the original enclosure necessitated a sample pan rather inconsistent with the requirements of DSC, more sophisticated modifications to the new measuring head made it compatible with a new sample pan that does not compromise calorimetric performance. The original alternative temperature measurement and control system was upgraded with low-noise components. In addition, water-cooling was added to the measuring head. A prototype sample enclosure has been fabricated and successfully tested in multiple experiments.

We consider several plausible parametrizations of initial conditions for the single particle distribution function fi(x,p) and fix the parameters by matching ∫f(x,p)pμ dσμ to the invariant momentum space semi-hard parton distributions obtained using perturbative QCD (pQCD), as well as fitting low order moments of the distribution function. We consider parametrizations of fi(x,p) with both boost invariant and boost non-invariant assumptions. We determine the initial number density, energy density and the corresponding (effective) temperature of the minijet plasma at RHIC and LHC energies. For a boost non-invariant minijet phase-space distribution function we obtain ∼30(140)/fm3 as the initial number density, ∼50(520) GeV/fm3 as the initial energy density and ∼520(930) MeV as the corresponding initial effective temperature at RHIC(LHC).

Crystallographic analyses of Ras bound to the catalytic module of SOS have led to the unexpected discovery of a highly conserved Ras binding site on SOS that is located distal to the active site and is specific for Ras·GTP. The crystal structures suggest that Ras·GTP stabilizes the active site of SOS allosterically, and we show that Ras·GTP forms ternary complexes with SOScat in solution and increases significantly the rate of SOScat-stimulated nucleotide release from Ras. These results demonstrate the existence of a positive feedback mechanism for the spatial and temporal regulation of Ras.

In the absence of an activating ligand, these receptors are slowly internalized (t1/2 ∼ 30 min) but are quickly recycled. The constitutive degradation rate of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) is slower than other ErbB family members and only the EGFR appears to alter its trafficking pattern in response to ligand binding. This altered pattern is characterized by accelerated internalization and enhanced lysosomal targeting. Ligand-regulated trafficking of the EGFR is mediated by a series of motifs distributed through the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor that are exposed by a combination of activation-mediated conformation changes and the binding of proteins such as Grb2. As a consequence of induced internalization, most EGFR signaling occurs within endosomes whereas signaling by the other members of the ErbB family appear to be generated predominantly from the cell surface. Overexpression of ErbB family members can disrupt normal receptor trafficking by driving heterodimerization of receptors with disparate trafficking patterns. Because different ErbB receptor substrates are localized in different cellular compartments, disrupted trafficking could be an important factor in the altered signaling patterns observed as a consequence of receptor overexpression.

Abstraction of one benzyl group using B(C6F5)3 resulted in the zwitterionic species [LZrBn][BnB(C6F5)3] (3), which reacted slowly (approximately 30 min) with ethylene to afford the monoinsertion product [LZrCH2CH2CH2Ph][BnB(C6F5)3].

Of particular importance is the characterization of the area fraction of various surface-types as well as the vegetative fraction. In this paper, a method is discussed for developing data on surface-type distribution and city-fabric (land cover) makeup (percentage of various surface-types) using high-resolution orthophtos. We devised a semi-automatic Monte Carlo method to sample the data and visually identify the surface-type for each pixel. The color aerial photographs for Sacramento covered a total of about 65 km2, at 0.3-m resolution.Five major land-use types were examined: (1) downtown and city center, (2) industrial, (3) offices, (4) commercial, and (5) residential. In downtown Sacramento, the top view (above-the-canopy) shows that vegetation covers 30% of the area, whereas roofs cover 23% and paved surfaces (roads, parking areas, and sidewalks) 41%. In the industrial areas, vegetation covers 8–14% of the area, whereas roofs cover 19–23%, and paved surfaces 29–44%. The surface-type percentages in the office area were 21% trees, 16% roofs, and 49% paved areas. In commercial areas, vegetation covers 5–20%, roofs 19–20%, paved surfaces 44–68%. Residential areas exhibit a wide range of percentages among their various surface-types. On average, vegetation covers about 36% of the area, roofs about 20%, and paved surfaces about 28%. Trees mostly shade streets, parking lots, grass, and sidewalks. In most non-residential areas, paved surfaces cover 50–70% of the under-the-canopy area. In residential areas, on average, paved surfaces cover about 35% of the area.Land-use/land cover (LULC) data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) was used to extrapolate these results from neighborhood scales to metropolitan Sacramento. Of an area of roughly 800 km2, defining most urban areas of the metropolitan Sacramento, about half is residential. The total roof area comprises about 150 km2 and the total paved surfaces (roads, parking areas, sidewalks) are about 310 km2. The total vegetated area covers about 230 km2. The remaining 110 km2 consist of barren land and miscellaneous surfaces.

The test uses interference between two well separated, but coherent, sources of vector mesons. The short-lived mesons decay before their wave functions can overlap, so any interference must involve identical final states. Unlike previous tests of non-locality, the interference involves continuous variables, momentum and position. Interference can only occur if the wave function retains amplitudes for all possible decays. The interference can be studied through the transverse momentum spectrum of the reconstructed mesons.

We find that the 1×1/1×2 transition occurs for a range of stoichiometry in oxygen-deficient crystals. To be quantitative about the stoichiometry dependence of the transition temperature, we accurately measure the crystal stoichiometry by using LEEM to determine the temperature at which crystallographic shear planes disappear from the bulk. In this way we show that the transition temperature increases with decreasing bulk oxygen content. By applying the Claperyon equation, we argue that this temperature dependence implies that the 1×1 and 1×2 surface phases have significantly different stoichiometries, with the 1×2 phase being Ti-rich compared to the 1×1 phase.

Such devices can be produced by externally coating semiconductor-charged-particle detectors with neutron reactive films that convert free neutrons into charged-particle reaction products. Commonly used films for such devices utilize the 10B(n,α)7Li reaction or the 6Li(n,α)3H reaction, which are attractive due to the relatively high energies imparted to the reaction products. Unfortunately, thin film or “foil” type thermal neutron detectors suffer from self-absorption effects that ultimately limit neutron detection efficiency. Design considerations that maximize the efficiency and performance of such devices are discussed. Theoretical and experimental results from front coated, back coated, and “sandwich” designs are presented.

The boundary subdivides the field induced spin density wave (FISDW) phase diagram into two regions. The low-temperature region of the FISDW diagram is characterized by a hysteresis behavior of the resistance R(B) which was observed in earlier studies and is typical for the first-order transitions. In contrast to the common believe, in the high temperature region of the FISDW phase diagram, the hysteresis in R(B) and, hence, the first-order transitions vanish. Nevertheless, sharp changes in dR/dB are observed both in the low and high temperature domains indicating that the transitions between different sub-phases exist over all range of the FISDW state. We compare these results with a theoretical prediction.

The thermal conductivity κ of κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br increases strongly in the superconducting state below Tc=11.5 K indicating the substantial scattering of phonons by quasiparticles in the normal state. Down to the lowest temperatures (T≈0.25 K) no T3 dependence of κ is observed.

We propose that this is due to the extreme anisotropy of these materials, which greatly exacerbates the statistical effects of fluctuations.

Of particular interest are the salts containing SF5RSO3− anions, where R is a partially fluorinated aliphatic backbone. While structurally similar —the β″ packing type predominates—the ground state of these salts varies from superconducting in the case of β″-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3 to insulating. Many of the salts with insulating ground states are metallic at room temperature, but charge localization and disproportionation over crystallographically non-equivalent sites occurs at low temperature. The organosulfonate group exhibits a propensity to bind to lithium ions, thus ternary salts incorporating Li+ into the complex anion layer are often found. The fluorophilic effect in organofluorine compounds may be exploited to form salts where the conducting BEDT-TTF layers are separated by extremely bulky anion bilayers. The crystal structure of one such system, (BEDT-TTF)3[(CF3)2CFC2H4SO3]4(H5O2)2, is described here.

Two regimes of behavior are distinguished; a low velocity regime, in which the dislocation drags a near equilibrium solute cloud, and a high velocity regime, in which the dislocation is alternately trapped and free running. In both regimes, the overdamped motion of a dislocation in the alloy is exactly as it would be in the pure system but with regime-dependent dislocation mobilities. In the low velocity regime, the forces between dislocations are replaced by forces between dislocation-solute cloud “quasiparticles.” This paper provides analytical estimates for the mobilities in the two regimes, as well as expressions for calculating quasiparticle interactions. Finally, a prescription is provided for carrying out dislocation dynamics simulations without explicitly incorporating solute degrees of freedom.

T1 - Laser-induced shock compression of monocrystalline copper: characterization and analysis JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2003/03/14/ VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1211 SN - 13596454 AB - Controlled laser experiments were used to generate ultra-short shock pulses of approximately 5 ns duration in monocrystalline copper specimens with [001] orientation. Transmission electron microscopy revealed features consistent with previous observations of shock-compressed copper, albeit at pulse durations in the μs regime. At pressures of 12 and 20 GPa, the structure consists primarily of dislocation cells; at 40 GPa, twinning and stacking-fault bundles are the principal defect structures; and at a pressure of 55–60 GPa, the structure shows micro-twinning and the effects of thermal recovery (elongated sub-grains). The results suggest that the defect structure is generated at the shock front; the substructures observed are similar to the ones at much larger durations. The dislocation generation is discussed, providing a constitutive description of plastic deformation. It is proposed that thermally activated loop nucleation at the front is the mechanism for dislocation generation. A calculational method for dislocation densities is proposed, based on nucleation of loops at the shock front and their extension due to the residual shear stresses behind the front. Calculated dislocation densities compare favorably with experimentally observed results. It is proposed that simultaneous diffraction by Laue and Bragg of different lattice planes at the shock front can give the strain state and the associated stress level at the front. This enables the calculation of the plastic flow resistance at the imposed strain rate. An estimated strength of 435 MPa is obtained, for a strain rate of 1.3×107 s−1. The threshold stress for deformation twinning in shock compression is calculated from the constitutive equations for slip, twinning, and the Swegle–Grady relationship. The calculated threshold pressure for the [001] orientation is 16.3 GPa.

The ionic conductivity increases up to two orders of magnitude due to this order–disorder transformation. This irradiation-induced order–disorder transition has been examined in detail using ion beam irradiations and in situ transmission electron microscopy. Under ion irradiation, the ordered pyrochlore superstructure transforms to an anion-disordered pyrochlore prior to a final transformation to a cation-disordered defect-fluorite structure-type. The anion-disordered pyrochlore structure displays a partial ordering of the A- and B-site cations and complete disordering on the anion array—as evidenced by the disappearance of characteristic diffraction maxima resulting from ordering of the oxygen sublattice. These results suggest that anion disorder precedes cation disordering in the pyrochlore structure.

The chain conformation of these multichromophoric molecules was controlled by varying solvent polarity to result in either tightly folded collapsed chain or extended chain structures. We demonstrate, that the polymer conformation has strong influence on the quantum optical nature of the single chain photon emission. Polymers in the collapsed-chain conformation exhibit the non-classical phenomenon of photon antibunching in contrast to extended-chain structures. Analysis of the second-order correlation function provides a quantitative measure of the number of active emitter sites.

Cadmium (in a 1- to 2-ml sample) was bound to 15 mg anion-exchange resin, interfering ions were removed in a 2-ml Bio-Spin column, and cadmium was extracted into 100 μl 1 M nitric acid for analysis. Cadmium in the sample extract was concentrated 7-fold for blood and 10-fold for urine over the starting material. These steps produced cadmium atomic absorption traces with high signal to background ratios and allowed analysis against aqueous standards. At ∼0.1 ng Cd/ml, mean intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were 11–12%. Cadmium recovery for 0.1 to 0.6 ng added cadmium was 107±4% for blood and 94±4% for urine (mean±SE, n=3). The mean detection limit (mean + SD of blank) was 0.008 ng/ml for blood and 0.003 ng/ml for urine. Samples from “unexposed” animals including humans ranged from 0.051±0.000 to 0.229±0.035 ng/ml. Values were approximately 10-fold lower than those obtained by the method of Stoeppler and Brandt using Zeeman background-correction ETAAS. This new high-sensitivity, low-volume assay will be useful for epidemiological studies, even those involving children, and will provide a means to help determine the contribution of cadmium to disease incidence in the general population.

The first case consists of a biomineral, CaHPO4·2H2O (brushite), which is a wide band gap, hydrated inorganic single crystal. We examine the laser-induced ion and neutral emissions accompanying 248 nm excimer laser radiation. Both types of emission are several orders of magnitude higher following exposure to 2 keV electrons at current densities of 200 μA/cm2 and doses of 102 to 103 mC/cm2. We show that the enhancements in emission are strongly correlated with e-beam induced morphology changes (including recrystallization) on this unusual surface. We then examine similar effects on “dry” crystals such as NaCl and NaNO3 which are exposed to 10−5 Pa partial pressures of H2O. Again dramatic enhancements in radiation induced emissions are exhibited along with the generation of unique morphological structures with nanometer scale dimensions.

Most commercial polymers exhibit poor laser ablation properties, therefore special triazene polymers, with superior ablation properties were developed. The photochemical active triazene group absorbs around 330 nm whereas the absorption around 200 nm is due to the photostable aromatic groups. The ns-interferometry shows that the etching of the triazene polymer starts and ends with the laser beam after irradiation at 193 and 308 nm. Shadowgraphy of the triazene polymer and polyimide reveal that the speed of the aerial shockwave increases with fluence and is higher for irradiation at 193 nm than for 308 nm. Shockwaves with equal or higher velocities are observed for the triazene polymer compared to polyimide.

JO - Catalysis Letters JF - Catalysis Letters Y1 - 2003/03/15/ VL - 86 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 157 EP - 161 SN - 1011372X AB - The ethylene hydrogenation reaction was studied on two platinum model catalyst systems in the presence of carbon monoxide to examine poisoning effects. The catalysts were a Pt(111) single crystal and lithographically fabricated platinum nanoparticles deposited on alumina. Gas chromatographic results for Pt(111) show that CO adsorption reduces the turnover rate from 101 to 10-2 molecules/Pt site/s at 413 K, and the activation energy for hydrogenation on the poisoned surface becomes 20.2 ± 0.1 kcal/mol. The activation energy for ethylene hydrogenation over Pt(111) in the absence of CO is 10.8 kcal/mol. The Pt nanoparticle system shows the same rate for the reaction as over Pt(111) in the absence of CO. When CO is adsorbed on the Pt nanoparticle array, the rate of the reaction is reduced from 102 to 100 nmol/s at 413 K. However, the activation energy remains largely unchanged. The Pt nanoparticles show an apparent activation energy for ethylene hydrogenation of 10.2 ± 0.2 kcal/mol in the absence of CO and 11.4 ± 0.6 kcal/mol on the CO-poisoned nanoparticle array. This is the first observation of a significant difference in catalytic behavior between Pt(111) and the Pt nanoparticle arrays. It is proposed that the active sites at the oxide--metal interface are responsible for the difference in activation energies for the hydrogenation reaction over the two model platinum catalysts.

Meteorological and chemical constraints for flat or vertical systems that would absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, as well as an example chemical system of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) proposed by Elliott et al. [Compensation of atmospheric CO2 buildup through engineered chemical sinkage, Geophys. Res. Lett. 28 (2001) 1235] are reviewed. The CTM examines land based deposition sinks, with 4°×5° latitude/longitude resolution at various locations, and deposition velocities (v). A maximum uptake of 20 Gton (1015 g) C yr−1 is attainable with v>5 cm s−1 at a mid-latitude site. The atmospheric increase of CO2 (3 Gton yr−1) can be balanced by an engineered sink with an area of no more than 75,000 km2 at v of 1 cm s−1. By building the sink upwards or splitting this area into narrow elements can reduce the active area by more than an order of magnitude as discussed in Dubey et al. [31].

SN - 14346044 AB - The cross sections for inelastic photoproduction of J/ψ and ψ' mesons have been measured in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 38.0 pb-1. The events were required to have 0.1 < z < 0.9 and 50 < W < 180 GeV, where z is the fraction of the incident photon energy carried by the J/ψ in the proton rest frame and W is the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy. The ψ' to J/ψ cross-section ratio was measured in the range 0.55 < z < 0.9. The J/ψ data, for various ranges of transverse momentum, are compared to theoretical models incorporating colour-singlet and colour-octet matrix elements. Predictions of a next-to-leading-order colour-singlet model give a good description of the data, although there is a large normalisation uncertainty. The J/ψ helicity distribution for z > 0.4 is compared to leading-order QCD predictions.

The University of Alaska operated a variety of optical imagers and photometers at two ground sites in support of the NASA Sprites99 balloon campaign. One site was atop a US Forest Service lookout tower on Bear Mt. in the Black Hills, in western South Dakota. On the night of 18 August 1999 we obtained from this site simultaneous images of sprites and OH airglow modulated by gravity waves emanating from a very active sprite producing thunderstorm over Nebraska, to the Southeast of Bear Mt. Using 25 s exposures with a bare CCD camera equipped with a red filter, we were able to coincidentally record both short duration (<10 ms) but bright (>3 MR) N2 1PG red emissions from sprites and much weaker (∼1 kR), but persistent, OH Meinel nightglow emissions. A time lapse movie created from images revealed short period, complete 360° concentric wave structures emanating radially outward from a central excitation region directly above the storm. During the initial stages of the storm outwardly expanding waves possessed a period of τ≈10 min and wavelength λ≈50 km. Over a 1 h interval the waves gradually changed to longer period τ≈11 min and shorter wavelength λ≈40 km. Over the full 2 h observation time, about two dozen bright sprites generated by the underlying thunderstorm were recorded near the center of the outwardly radiating gravity wave pattern. No distinctive OH brightness signatures uniquely associated with the sprites were detected at the level of 2% of the ambient background brightness, establishing an associated upper limit of approximately ΔT≲0.5 K for a neutral temperature perturbation over the volume of the sprites. The corresponding total thermal energy deposited by the sprite is bounded by these measurements to be less than ∼1 GJ. This value is well above the total energy deposited into the medium by the sprite, estimated by several independent methods to be on the order of ∼110 MJ.

As with previous observations, the spectra are composed primarily of the N2 first positive group (1PG) (B3Πg−A3Σu+). In a previous study, we compared the N2(B) vibrational distributions from the spectral analysis with those resulting from a time-dependent kinetic model of N2 triplet excited state populations. Both spectra reflect emission between 50 and 60 km. The higher-altitude spectrum is primarily 1PG but also shows the presence of features which appear to be N2+ Meinel (A2Πu−X2Σg+). The lower-altitude spectrum shows little or none of the apparent Meinel emission but has an N2(B) vibrational distribution similar to ones observed in laboratory afterglows. In this paper we discuss the apparent presence of the Meinel emission and present the observed N2(B) vibrational distributions.

With the increasing silicon ingot sizes, melt volume has grown dramatically. Melt flow becomes more turbulent as melt height and volume increase. To suppress turbulent flow in a large silicon melt, a new Czochralski (CZ) growth furnace has been designed that has a shallow melt. In this new design, a crucible consists of a shallow growth compartment in the center and a deep feeding compartment around the periphery. Two compartments are connected with a narrow annular channel. A long crystal may be continuously grown by feeding silicon pellets into the dedicated feeding compartment. We use our numerical model to simulate temperature distribution and velocity field in a conventional 200-mm CZ crystal growth system and also in the new shallow crucible CZ system. By comparison, advantages and disadvantages of the proposed system are observed, operating conditions are determined, and the new system is improved.

The experimental results indicate that the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of the copper-doped and of the original carbon aerogels is well fit by a Curie function at low temperatures. The copper-doped carbon aerogels show a higher susceptibility and spin concentration than the original carbon aerogel. After doping by copper, the materials exhibit a more linear current–voltage curve than the original carbon aerogel under the same measurement conditions. The electrical resistance of the copper-doped carbon aerogels is strikingly lower than that of the original carbon aerogels, and decreases with increasing copper content in the samples. The temperature-dependent resistivity ρ(T) of all of the copper-doped and original carbon aerogels can be fitted by an exp(T−1/2) dependence for T<100 K. The copper-doped and pristine carbon aerogels follow a quadratic MR behavior Δρ/ρ=AB2 in the magnetic field range B investigated (up to 5 T), except at very low temperatures (T<4 K).

The Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopic method identified three types of local environments, which were represented by the Fe3+ sextet, the Fe3+ doublet, and the Fe2+ doublet. The Fe3+ sextet ions were assigned to ‘isolated’ octahedral ions. Under reducing conditions, the octahedral Fe3+ ions were readily converted into octahedral ferrous ions. The Fe3+ doublet exists both in octahedral and tetrahedral environment, mainly as tetrahedral sites in the reduced samples. The tetrahedral ions were found stable against reduction to ferrous ions. The Fe2+ doublet sites existed in octahedral coordination. Combining results from both spectroscopic studies, the 1120- and 2020-nm optical bands were assigned to octahedral ferrous ions with a different degree of distortion rather than different coordinations. Further, we assigned the 375-nm band to the transition of octahedral ferric ions that are sensitive to the change of oxygen partial pressure in glass melting and 415-, 435-, and 485-nm bands to the transitions of the tetrahedral ferric ions that are insensitive to oxidation states of the melt. The effect of ferric and ferrous ions with different coordination environments on the glass immiscibility was elucidated.

The problem with volcanic ash is that its formation is poorly understood from the standpoint of eruption energetics. Because the source of explosive eruption energy should be the thermal energy of magma, and because an explosion requires rapid conversion of energy into a mechanical form, and because of the physical properties of magma thermal energy is dominantly released by conduction, the energy release on a short time scale (explosion) in volcanic processes has to be the result of a special mechanism, probably a positive feedback mechanism of fragmentation and heat exchange. In fact, the most explosive volcanic explosions are characterized by the most intensive fragmentation. In any fragmentation mechanism the generated particle sizes reflect the kinetic energy available (i.e. the fragmentation energy density). Consequently, fine ash (≤64 μm) provides information on fragmentation mechanisms that are the most energetic and related to the highest explosive energy release. In this letter we discuss mechanisms of formation of fine volcanic ash, using experimental results, theoretical considerations, and field observations. We focus on the potency of these mechanisms to explain fine ash produced by explosive volcanism. We conclude that quantitative analysis of fine ash particles is necessary to estimate the mechanical energy of volcanic explosions.

Multiple indents were conducted on the cross-section of the surface recast layer, sub-surface heat-affected zone, and bulk material. The energy disperse X-ray spectrometry and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the material compositions in the heat-affected zone and recast layer and to study the electrical spark eroded surface. The indents were inspected by scanning electron microscopy to distinguish between regular and irregular indents in these three regions. Irregular indents were caused by the porosity, soft matrix material, separation of grain boundaries, and thermal cracks caused by EDM process. The hardness and modulus of elasticity obtained from regular indents in bulk material and heat-affected zone were comparable to those of WC. It was found that the recast layer had lower hardness and modulus of elasticity than the bulk material and heat-affected zone.

The multiphase alloys were cast and heat-treated at 1600 °C before performing the cyclic oxidation tests at temperatures between 600 and 1300 °C. Alloys compositions were chosen near the Mo–T2 eutectic trough resulting in microstructures containing either primary Mo-dendrites or primary T2-dendrites. After cyclic oxidation tests at 800 °C, a Mo interfacial layer was found adjacent to the T2 phase along the oxide/matrix interface while a Mo5Si3 interfacial layer was found adjacent to the Mo3Si phase. For specimens tested at 1300 °C, a Mo+glass interfacial region was found. The multiphase alloys have a poor oxidation resistance at 800 °C due to the competing oxide formation of the Mo oxides and a silicate glass. However, a protective glass scale can form on these alloys at 1300 °C. The presence of Mo3Si was found to be an import source of Si in addition to the T2 phase in controlling the composition of the protective glass scale. The near-eutectic alloys with a fine dispersion of T2, Mo, and Mo3Si phases displayed the best overall oxidation resistance for the temperatures tested.

In this study, three methods have been used to determine the interfacial resistance of a composite membrane consisting of 40 vol.% Ni and 60 vol.% BaYxCe1−xO3. The interfacial resistances determined from the dependence of hydrogen permeation rate on membrane thickness were similar to those obtained from a combination of gas permeation with impedance spectroscopy (IS), implying that both approaches are applicable to the composite membrane. Results also indicate that the interfacial resistances are much greater than the bulk resistances under the conditions studied. Further improvement of the hydrogen permeation rate thus depends on reducing the interfacial polarization resistance.

The yields of 2-chlorination (84±0.7%) and 3-chlorination (2.6±0.4%) were essentially constant (constant intramolecular selectivity) as the substituent on the N-chlorobenzamide was varied.

In contrast to previous models, which invoke Reynolds averaging, near-wall velocity fluctuations and turbulent transport are simulated down to the smallest scales, and can be compared directly to DNS data. Thus, the approach provides more than just a boundary condition. Rather, it is itself a complete (although simplified) model for the wall-normal profiles of velocity within the near-wall region. LES/ODT coupling is bi-directional and occurs both through the direct calculation of the subgrid turbulent stress by temporally and spatially filtering the ODT-resolved momentum fluxes (up-scale coupling), and through the LES-resolved pressure and velocities impacting the ODT behavior (down-scale coupling). The formulation involves finely resolved ODT lines that are embedded within each wall-adjacent LES cell – denoted the inner region. LES cells that are within approximately one LES filter width of the inner region belong to an overlap region where both ODT and LES modeling is active. All other cells are treated using a standard LES approach. Although more expensive than simpler models, the cost of the model relative to the LES portion of the simulation scales favorably with problem size, leading to computationally affordable simulations even at relatively high Reynolds numbers.

We also compared small, spatially distributed gas wells against the more commonly used large gas wells. In this study, two EcoCELLs were first watered (June 2000) and then planted (July 2000) with trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides). Following that, trees were harvested (October 2000) and one EcoCELL (EcoCELL 2) was replanted with aspen (25 April 2001). During most of the experiment, there was a strong vertical gradient of CO2 (increasing with depth, as is typical of a diffusion-driven process), but no vertical gradient of soil gaseous Hg0. Strong diel variations in soil gas Hg0 concentration were noted, whereas diel variations in CO2 were small and not statistically significant. Initial watering and planting caused increases in both soil gas CO2 and Hg0. Replanting in EcoCELL 2 caused a statistically significant increase in soil gas CO2 but not Hg0. Calculated Hg0 effluxes using the diffusion model produced values two orders of magnitude lower than those measured using field chambers placed directly on the soil or whole-cell fluxes. Neither soil gas Hg0 concentrations nor calculated fluxes were correlated with measured Hg0 efflux from soil or from whole EcoCELLs. We conclude that (1) soil gas Hg0 flux is not diffusion-driven and thus soil gas Hg0 concentrations cannot be used to calculated soil Hg0 efflux; (2) soil gas Hg0 concentrations are increased by watering dry soil, probably because of displacement/desorption processes; (3) soil gas Hg0 concentrations were unaffected by plants, suggesting that roots and rhizosphere processes are unimportant in controlling Hg0 evasion from the soil surface. We recommend the use of the small wells in all future studies because they are much easier to install and provide more resolution of spatial and temporal patterns in soil gaseous Hg0.

We characterized the particles and examined their thermal stability. DNA of less than chromatosome length (168 base pairs) produces particles with altered denaturation profiles, possibly caused by histone rearrangement in those core-like particles. We also examined the effects of tetra-acetylation of histone H4 on the thermal stability of reconstituted nucleosome particles. Tetra-acetylation of H4 reduces the nucleosome thermal stability by 0.8 °C as compared with nonacetylated particles. This difference is close to values published comparing bulk nonacetylated nucleosomes and core particles to ones enriched for core histone acetylation, suggesting that H4 acetylation has a dominant effect on nucleosome particle energetics.

The details of this mechanism have been elusive because c-Abl lacks a phosphotyrosine residue that triggers the assembly of the autoinhibited form of the closely related Src kinases by internally engaging the SH2 domain. Crystal structures of c-Abl show that the N-terminal myristoyl modification of c-Abl 1b binds to the kinase domain and induces conformational changes that allow the SH2 and SH3 domains to dock onto it. Autoinhibited c-Abl forms an assembly that is strikingly similar to that of inactive Src kinases but with specific differences that explain the differential ability of the drug STI-571/Gleevec/imatinib (STI-571) to inhibit the catalytic activity of Abl, but not that of c-Src.

The wave packet has some advantages for use in time-dependent quantum mechanical reactive scattering calculations. These advantages consist of the fact that it possesses a reasonable constant amplitude over a range of momenta or energies. Quantum mechanical calculations undertaken using such a wave packet will therefore result in a more even-handed treatment of all the energies within the range of energies treated by the calculation. Test calculations demonstrate that the new sinc wave packets always yield slightly more accurate results than equivalent Gaussian wave packets. They are also easier to use because the range of energies they effectively cover may be more easily assessed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

SVT starts from tracks found by the Level 1 central chamber fast trigger and adds the silicon information to compute transverse track parameters with offline quality in about 15 μs. The CDF SVT is fully installed and functional and has been exercised with real data during the spring and summer 2001. It is a complex digital device of more than 100 VME boards that performs a dramatic data reduction (only about one event in a thousand is accepted by the trigger). Diagnosing rare failures poses a special challenge and SVT internal data flow is monitored by dedicated hardware and software. This paper briefly covers the SVT architecture and design and reports on the SVT building/commissioning experience (hardware and software) and on the first results from the initial running.

Its primary goal is to achieve unprecedented levels of sensitivity in the study of CP violation, mixing, and rare decays in b and c quark systems. In order to realize this, it will employ a state-of-the-art first-level vertex trigger (Level 1) that will look at every beam crossing to identify detached secondary vertices that provide evidence for heavy quark decays. This talk will briefly describe the BTeV detector and trigger, focus on the software and hardware aspects of the Level 1 vertex trigger, and describe work currently being done in these areas.

The foundation of this framework is a visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) scheme. We consider a 90° die angle and simulate ECAE up to four passes for four processing routes, (A, C, BA and BC, as denoted in the literature) for an FCC polycrystalline material. We assume that the FCC single crystal has a constant critical resolved shear stress (CRSS), so that hardening by dislocation activity is suppressed, and the influence of grain shape distribution and texture as well as their interaction can be isolated. Many deformation microstructural features, such as grain size and shape distribution, texture, and geometric hardening–softening, were highly dependent on processing route. Using a grain subdivision criterion based on grain shape, route A was the most effective, then route BA and route BC and lastly route C, the least effective for grain size refinement, in agreement with redundant strain theory. For producing refined equiaxed grains, route BC was more effective than routes BA and A. We show that grain–grain interactions tend to weaken texture evolution and consequently geometric hardening and softening in all routes.

Measurements below 250 °C agree with previous results in other laboratories. At higher temperatures, the rate constant undershoots an extrapolation of the Arrhenius plot and actually decreases in value above 275 °C. At 350 °C, the measured rate constant is more than a factor of 5 below the Arrhenius extrapolation. We propose an explanation based largely on the hydrophobic solvation properties of the H2 molecule.

Speciation of complexes adsorbed onto alumina JO - Applied Catalysis A: General JF - Applied Catalysis A: General Y1 - 2003/03/31/ VL - 243 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 53 SN - 0926860X AB - The changes in coordination chemistry that occur as chloroaquohydroxo platinate complexes adsorb over alumina have been studied using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis at the advanced photon source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. Our earlier study of Pt complexes in the liquid phase [Appl. Catal. A: Gen. 232 (2002) 219] is used as a starting point. Samples were prepared both in excess solution with 200 ppm chloroplatinic acid (CPA), and using pore volume impregnation with higher CPA concentrations to give loadings of 0.25 to 4.25 wt.% Pt. The changes in coordination chemistry of chloroaquohydroxo platinate complexes adsorbing over alumina need not invoke a “triple layer” theory, which incorporates surface grafting reactions, but are more readily explained by refinements to the “double layer” theory which is the kernel of the Revised Physical Adsorption model [Chem. Eng. Sci. 56 (2000) 2365]. The changes in speciation of adsorbing CPA complexes appear to be influenced first by the change in the bulk pH brought on by the oxide buffering effect, second by the additional pH change at the (single) layer of adsorption at the alumina surface, and third by the chloride concentration at this local level. At low surface loadings, pH shifts are minimized and the amount of chloride near the adsorption plane appears to be low. Platinum complexes adsorb with low Pt–Cl/Pt–O bond ratios, even when present in the bulk solution as hexachlorides. The adsorbed species appear to behave as in the liquid phase at the pH of the adsorption plane with no excess chloride. At high surface loadings such as with pore volume impregnation, the pH shifts toward the alumina PZC are very large but all chloride is kept in the pore volume. At high Pt loadings, high chloride concentration appears to dominate the Pt speciation and Pt–Cl coordination in the adsorbed complexes remains high, as occurs in the liquid phase in excess chloride. The adsorption of Pt from solutions in which zero-valent species are thought to initially exist can be explained by mechanisms in which either rapid OH–H2O exchange occurs at the higher pH of the adsorption plane, creating a dianionic adsorbing complex, or a surface protonation reaction, which creates a dianionic adsorbed complex in concert with surface charging. Both mechanisms are consistent with an electrostatic adsorption mechanism.

Each technology has specific materials issues with respect to the role of recombination lifetime in the potential success of that technology. The dominant commercial technology for low-cost deployment of photovoltaics is currently based on various growth methods of bulk silicon. For low-cost terrestrial applications, the objective is to compromise efficiency while maximizing the efficiency-to-cost ratio. A frequent and cost-efficient tactic is to develop low-cost silicon purification and gettering processes, assessing the effectiveness of the latter by lifetime measurements. The recombination mechanism that affects low-cost silicon photovoltaics is the impurity-related Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) process, and SRH-impurity removal is of primary concern. Here, I will present some results from a photovoltaic device model that links a theoretical efficiency to a given range of recombination lifetimes. Specialized measurement techniques are needed to get meaningful information about recombination lifetimes for these low-cost materials. Described here is a contactless photoconductive decay measurement system that has proven to be successful for most of these materials. Experimental results on a range of low-cost silicon alternatives will be presented.

In this study, two different classes of geochemical models are used to identify mineral precipitation and dissolution potentials for an immobilized low-activity waste (ILAW) disposal facility in Hanford, Washington. The first is a static geochemical model that does not consider the effects of transport. The second model is dynamic, and combines geochemical reactions with hydrogeological processes such as advection, diffusion and dispersion. This reactive transport model also includes an innovative application of a depositional film model for determining changes in permeability due to mineral precipitation and dissolution reactions. Although both models describe solid-aqueous phase reactions kinetically, the two models identify two different sets of mineral assemblages affecting the porosity and permeability of the media. These markedly different results are due to transport considerations, the most significant of which are the spatial variability in aqueous concentrations, and advection and diffusion of dissolved glass constituents into the backfill materials. This work shows that for the prediction of geochemical behavior of engineered systems, such as the ILAW disposal facility, the traditional reaction path modeling approach is not sufficient for an accurate assessment of the precipitation of key mineral assemblages and their effect on the geochemical and hydraulic behavior of the waste glass. Reactive transport modeling improves this assessment significantly. The static model is useful in identifying potential minerals to be included in the reactive transport simulations. The dynamic model, however, ultimately determines the key mineral assemblages affecting both the geochemical behavior and the hydraulic properties of the waste glass in the presence of a flowing aqueous phase.

Previous studies investigating the reduction of Fe(III) oxides by DMRB focused on reactions under constant initial electron donor (lactate) and electron acceptor (Fe oxide) concentrations. Because the concentrations of these reactants can vary greatly in the environment and would be expected to influence the rate and extent of oxide reduction, the influence of variable electron acceptor and donor concentrations on hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) bioreduction was investigated. Batch experiments were conducted in pH 7 HCO3– buffered media using Shewanella putrefaciens strain CN32. In general, the rate of Fe(III) reduction decreased with increasing HFO:lactate ratios, resulting in a relatively greater proportion of crystalline Fe(III) oxides of relatively low availability for DMRB. HFO was transformed to a variety of crystalline minerals including goethite, lepidocrocite, and siderite but was almost completely dissolved at high lactate to HFO ratios. These results indicate that electron donor and acceptor concentrations can greatly impact the bioreduction of HFO and the suite of Fe minerals formed as a result of reduction. The respiration driven rate of Fe(II) formation from HFO is believed to be a primary factor governing the array of ferrous and ferric iron phases formed during reduction.

JO - Biogeochemistry JF - Biogeochemistry Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 63 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 73 EP - 83 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 01682563 AB - There is a potential to sequester carbon in soil by changing agricultural management practices. These changes in agricultural management can also result in changes in fossil-fuel use, agricultural inputs, and the carbon emissions associated with fossil fuels and other inputs. Management practices that alter crop yields and land productivity can affect the amount of land used for crop production with further significant implications for both emissions and sequestration potential. Data from a 20-year agricultural experiment were used to analyze carbon sequestration, carbon emissions, crop yield, and land-use change and to estimate the impact that carbon sequestration strategies might have on the net flux of carbon to the atmosphere. Results indicate that if changes in management result in decreased crop yields, the net carbon flux can be greater under the new system, assuming that crop demand remains the same and additional lands are brought into production. Conversely, if increasing crop yields lead to land abandonment, the overall carbon savings from changes in management will be greater than when soil carbon sequestration alone is considered.

JO - Biotechnology Progress JF - Biotechnology Progress Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 19 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 455 EP - 463 SN - 87567938 AB - The adsorption isotherm data of (R)- and (S)-1-indanol and of their racemic mixture on cellulose tribenzoate were measured by frontal analysis. The experimental data for each enantiomers were fitted to the single-component bilangmuir isotherm model. The competitive experimental data were fitted to the ideal adsorption solution model (IAS), the real adsorption solution model (RAS), and the bilangmuir thermodynamically consistent model (BTC). The mass transfer kinetic parameters were estimated from systematic comparisons between the experimental single-component band profiles and profiles calculated using the general rate model (GR) of chromatography coupled with the generalized Maxwell-Stefan equation (GMS). The validation of the isotherm model and of the mass transfer kinetic model was made by comparing the experimental band profiles obtained for solutions of the two enantiomers and those calculated with the competitive GR-GMS model. The excellent agreement observed proves that a combination of the BTC isotherm model and the GMS kinetic model, using the best values of the BTC and GMS parameters estimated from single component experiments, allows an excellent prediction of the binary isotherm and the binary mass transfer kinetics.

Specific vibrational states of the C 1s−1π* resonance were selectively populated by utilizing high-resolution photoexcitation. Participator Auger decay of the excited state populates mainly the A–D ionic states, without any discernable increase in the intensity of the X state. The vibrational manifold of the A state band was examined in detail for non-resonant and resonant photoionization. While the ν2 vibrational mode was found to account for most of the structure in the non-resonant spectrum, strong excitations of the ν1 mode were found in the resonant spectrum with decreased intensity in the higher ν2 vibrations. Intensity distribution among the ν2 levels of the ionic A and B states in the resonant Auger decay were found to reproduce the ν2 level accessed in the photoabsorption. Both of these observations were attributed to changes in the potential energy surfaces of the core excited and ionic states, namely, lengthening of the C&z.dbnd6;O bond in the core excited and ionic states relative to the ground electronic state of the molecule, and shortening of the C–H bond in the excited state only.

Two different trench designs were considered, one with four rows of small waste packages (old design), the other with three layers of larger waste packages (new design). One-dimensional (1D) simulations were carried out to 20,000 yr, whereas two-dimensional (2D) simulations could only be carried out for 10,000 yr due to constraints on computational time. Both the 1D and 2D simulations predicted that the technetium release rate from the waste packages would be lower for the new trench design at times greater than 1 yr. Having fewer, larger waste packages decreases the glass surface area exposed to reaction with pore water. In the 2D simulations, water can flow around the waste packages, which causes a decrease in the water flux through the waste packages and lower release rates than predicted in the 1D simulations. This result reinforces the importance of performing multi-dimensional waste form release simulations.

This study uses a reaction path calculation to estimate tank supernatant compositions from historical tank inventory data. The Pitzer activity coefficient algorithm based on the computer code GMIN is combined with the reactive transport code FLOTRAN to carry out the simulations. An extended version of the GMIN database is used which includes Al and Si species. In order for the reaction path calculations to converge, a pseudo-kinetic approach employing a rate limiter for precipitation kinetics is introduced. The rate limiter enables calculations to be carried out with the reaction path approach which previously could only be accomplished using a Gibbs free energy minimization technique. Because the final equilibrium state is independent of the reaction path, the value used for the rate limiter does not affect the calculation for the tank supernatant composition. Three different tanks are considered: SX-108, SX-109 and SX-115, with supernatant compositions ranging from extremely to moderately concentrated. Results of the simulations indicate that sodium concentrations much higher than previously expected are possible for the SX-108 tank. This result has important implications for the migration of cesium released from the tank within the vadose zone. The mineral cancrinite was predicted to form in all three tanks consistent with recent experiments. The calculated supernatant pH ranged from 14 to 12.8 for the tanks considered and Eh was mildly reducing determined by the redox couple NO3NO2.

Recharge of groundwater takes place through the vadose zone, where complex interactions between thermal-hydrological-geochemical processes affect water quality. Monitoring processes in the vadose zone is an important means of evaluating the long-term health of aquifer systems, and has become an integral part of many subsurface engineering efforts. Monitoring such systems, however, may be affected by changes in climate that slowly propagate through vadose zone systems. We describe in this paper the use of NUFT-C, a reactive transport simulator designed to run on a high performance, massively parallel computer, to compare quantitatively the evolution of a deep vadose zone with changes expected from an engineered high-level nuclear waste repository. The results suggest that the impacts from waste emplacement are, in some instances, similar to those that would be observed as a result of climate change, whereas others are distinguishable from evolution of the natural system. Such simulations facilitate design of long-term monitoring programs that take account of these complex effects. The results emphasize the importance of developing long-term baseline measurements and control sites, in order to enhance confidence in interpretations of complexly evolving data sets that will be obtained from multi-decade monitoring efforts.

From these, a nascent conceptual framework is developing, that views the principles of regulation in term of motifs, modules and games. Motifs are small, repeated, and conserved biological units ranging from molecular domains to small reaction networks. They are arranged into functional modules, genetically dissectible cellular functions such as the cell cycle, or different stress responses. The dynamical functioning of modules defines the organism’s strategy to survive in a game, pitting cell against cell, and cell against environment. Placing pathway structure and dynamics into an evolutionary context begins to allow discrimination between those physical and molecular features that particularize a species to its surroundings, and those that provide core physiological function. This approach promises to generate a higher level understanding of cellular design, pathway evolution and cellular bioengineering.

Ultimately, we expect that such information will change how we think about biological systems in a fundamental way. Instead of viewing the genetic parts list of an organism as a loose collection of biochemical activities, in the best case, we anticipate discrete networks of function to bridge the gap between genotype and phenotype, and to do so in a more profound way than the current qualitative classification of linked reactions into familiar pathways, such as glycolysis and the MAPK signal transduction cascades. At the present time, however, we are still far from a complete answer to the most basic question: what can we learn about biology by studying networks? Promising steps in this direction have come from such diverse approaches as mathematical analysis of global network structure, partitioning networks into functionally related modules and motifs, and even de novo design of networks. A complete picture will probably require integrating the data obtained from all of these approaches with modeling efforts at many different levels of detail.

This emerging unified structural biochemistry provides general medical and biological insights into how ABC proteins function as chemo-mechanical devices.

JO - Current Opinion in Structural Biology JF - Current Opinion in Structural Biology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 256 SN - 0959440X AB - Tubulin is known to exist in at least two main conformations: straight when bound to GTP or buried within the microtubule lattice, and curved when bound to GDP. The latter is most obvious during microtubule depolymerization, when protofilaments bend and peel off from microtubule ends. The curved, low-energy subunits form tantalizing ring structures in the presence of stabilizing divalent cations. Interestingly, cellular factors and antimitotic agents that act by depolymerizing microtubules can induce the formation of rings. In these rings, tubulin dimers generally appear kinked at the monomer–monomer interface, either to the same or to a lesser extent than at the dimer–dimer interface, with each agent giving rise to particular subtleties in the structures of the rings and the tubulin dimer itself that may reflect their distinctive mechanisms of action. How these kinks relate to what happens when the stored energy of GTP hydrolysis is released, freeing GDP•tubulin into an unconstrained state, remains an open question.

This is known as the protein structure prediction problem and is sometimes referred to as the problem of deciphering the second half of the genetic code. While large proteins fold in nature in seconds, computational chemists and biologists have found that folding proteins to their minimum energy conformations is a challenging unsolved optimization problem. Computational complexity theory has been useful in explaining, at least partially, this (Levinthal''s) paradox. The pedagogic cross-disciplinary survey by Ngo, Marks and Karplus (Computational Complexity, Protein Structure Prediction and the Levinthal Paradox, Birkhauser, Basel, 1994) provides an excellent starting point for non-biologists to take a plunge into the problem of folding proteins. Since then, there has been remarkable progress in the algorithmics of folding proteins on discrete lattice models, an account of which is presented herein.

Many countries are initiating reforms of their power sectors to stimulate private investment, increase operation and management efficiencies, and lower the cost of power. These countries are unbundling vertically integrated utilities into distinct generation, transmission, distribution and retail supply companies; introducing commercial management principles to government-owned monopolies; and in many cases transferring operation or ownership to private companies. Electric industry restructuring may force regulators and policy makers to re-examine existing mechanisms for promoting load management and energy efficiency. In some cases, electric industry restructuring replaces the long-standing relationship between a single monopoly provider and protected customer franchise with a new set of relationships among retail electricity suppliers and customers who may now be free to choose suppliers. In these types of situations, markets, not government regulators and utility monopolies, are seen as determining future energy production and consumption decisions. However, it is uncertain whether this type of restructuring will overcome important market barriers to energy efficiency that limit markets for energy-efficient products and services from functioning effectively. As a result of these barriers, a large, untapped potential for cost-effective energy-efficiency investments exists. Supporters of public policies argue that energy-efficiency programs are an appropriate government strategy to capture economic efficiencies that the market cannot secure unassisted.

Environmental choices show that policies intended to be precautionary (such as adding MTBE to petrol) can cause unanticipated harm (by mobilizing benzene, a known leukemogen, in the ground water). Many environmental law principles set the boundaries of what should be done but do not provide an operational construct to answer this question. Those principles, ranging from the precautionary principle to protecting human health from a significant risk of material health impairment, do not explain how to make environmental management choices when incomplete, inconsistent and complex scientific evidence characterizes potentially adverse environmental outcomes. Rather, they pass the task to lower jurisdictions such as agencies or authorities. To achieve the goals of the principle, those who draft it must deal with scientific casual conjectures, partial knowledge and variable data. In this paper we specifically deal with the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the European Union''s (EU) explanation of consistency and on the examination of scientific developments relevant to variability and uncertain data and causation. Managing hazards under the precautionary principle requires inductive, empirical methods of assessment. However, acting on a scientific conjecture can also be socially unfair, costly, and detrimental when applied to complex environmental choices. We describe a constructive framework rationally to meet the command of the precautionary principle using alternative measures of uncertainty and recent statistical methods of causal analysis. These measures and methods can bridge the gap between conjectured future irreversible or severe harm and scant scientific evidence, thus leading to more confident and resilient social choices. We review two sets of measures and computational systems to deal with uncertainty and link them to causation through inductive empirical methods such as Bayesian Networks. We conclude that primary legislation concerned with large uncertainties and potential severe or dreaded environmental outcomes can produce accurate and efficient choices. To do so, primary legislation should specifically indicate what measures can represent uncertainty and how to deal with uncertain causation thus providing guidance to an agency''s rulemaking or to an authority''s writing secondary legislation. A corollary conclusion with legal, scientific and probabilistic implications concerns how to update past information when the state of information increases because a failure to update can result in regretting past choices. Elected legislators have the democratic mandate to formulate precautionary principles and are accountable. To preserve that mandate, imbedding formal methods to represent uncertainty in the statutory language of the precautionary principle enhances subsequent judicial review of legislative actions. The framework that we propose also reduces the Balkanized views and interpretations of probabilities, possibilities, likelihood and uncertainty that exists in environmental decision-making.

An agricultural sector model (POLYSYS) was modified to include three potential bioenergy crops (switchgrass, hybrid poplar, and willow). At farmgate prices of US $2.44/GJ, an estimated 17 million hectares of bioenergy crops, annually yielding 171 million dry Mg of biomass, could potentially be produced at a profit greater than existing agricultural uses for the land. The estimate assumes high productivity management practices are permitted on Conservation Reserve Program lands. Traditional crops prices are estimated to increase 9 to 14 percent above baseline prices and farm income increases annually by US $6.0 billion above baseline. At farmgate prices of US $1.83/GJ, an estimated 7.9 million hectares of bioenergy crops, annually yielding 55 million dry Mg of biomass, could potentially be produced at a profit greater than existing agricultural uses for the land. The estimate assumes management practices intended to achieve high environmental benefits on Conservation Reserve Program lands.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 5 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 309 EP - 320 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - Summary Subsurface microbial community structure in relation to geochemical gradients and lithology was investigated using a combination of molecular phylogenetic and geochemical analyses. Discreet groundwater and substratum samples were obtained from depths ranging from 182 to 190 m beneath the surface at approximately 10-cm intervals using a multilevel sampler (MLS) that straddled Cretaceous shale and sandstone formations at a site in the southern San Juan Basin in New Mexico. DNA and RNA were extracted directly from quartzite sand substratum loaded into individual cells of the MLS and colonized in situ . Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-mediated T-RFLP analysis of archaeal rRNA genes (rDNA) in conjunction with partial sequencing analysis of archaeal rDNA libraries and quantitative RNA hybridization with oligonucleotide probes were used to probe community structure and function. Although total microbial populations remained relatively constant over the entire depth interval sampled, significant shifts in archaeal populations, predominantly methanogens, were observed. These shifts coincided with the geochemical transition from relatively high methane (26 mM), low sulphate (< 3 mg l-1 ) conditions in the region adjacent to the organic matter-rich shale to relatively low-methane (< 0.5 mM), high-sulphate (48 mg l-1 ) conditions in the organic-poor sandstone beneath the shale. These results indicated that active, phylogenetically diverse archaeal communities were present in the subsurface Cretaceous rock environment at this site and that major archaeal clades shifted dramatically over scales of tens of centimetres, corresponding to changes in the lithology and geochemical gradients.

Estimating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is complicated by the fact that consumption of fossil-fuels and harvesting of forests do not necessarily mean that the contained C has been released to the atmosphere as CO2. Some fractions of fossil-fuels and harvested wood are incorporated into products that have lifetimes ranging from months to centuries. The IPCC methodology addresses durable products by assuming that some prescribed fraction goes to permanent storage while the remainder is oxidized instantly. The question posed here is whether the annual increase in stocks of durable products, i.e. the difference between the rates of production and oxidation, can be reasonably estimated as a simple fraction of their current rate of production. Although the annual stock change can be described as a simple fraction of annual production when production is growing exponentially and oxidation is a first order decay process, a description of annual stock changes needs to consider how both production and oxidation are evolving with time, regardless of the functional forms of these changes with time.

The EPA is preparing guidance for states on how to use on-road emissions measurements made by roadside sensors (remote sensing) to evaluate the effectiveness of their I/M programs. In its guidance EPA describes three methods of using remote sensing data for such evaluations: the comprehensive method, the step change method, and the reference method. We used an extensive number of remote sensing measurements in the Phoenix area to estimate program benefits under each method, in order to understand how each method measures emission reductions under an I/M program. The extensive number of measurements also allows testing the sensitivity of results obtained under the comprehensive method to the month in which the measurements were taken. We found that the comprehensive method estimates a small reduction in CO emissions (3.3±0.6%) from the I/M program; however, the step change method estimates no program benefit. A reference method analysis comparing on-road emissions of fleets in an enhanced and a basic program indicates that older vehicles have higher on-road emissions under the enhanced program than the basic program. Discrepancies between these results are discussed, as are several factors which appear to influence results under each method.

A well-defined, long wavelength excitation is observed despite the absence of long-range magnetic order. Direct comparisons with the spin wave dispersion in the long-range ordered antiferromagnetic state reveal no measurable effects from the domain structure. This result recalls analogous behavior in thermally disordered anisotropic spin chains but contrasts sharply with that of the phonon modes in relaxor ferroelectrics.

JO - Extremophiles JF - Extremophiles Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 123 EP - 130 SN - 14310651 AB - Arsenic resistance in the acidophilic iron-oxidizing archaeon "Ferroplasma acidarmanus" was investigated. F. acidarmanus is native to arsenic-rich environments, and culturing experiments confirm a high level of resistance to both arsenite and arsenate. Analyses of the complete genome revealed protein-encoding regions related to known arsenic-resistance genes. Genes encoding for ArsR (arsenite-sensitive regulator) and ArsB (arsenite-efflux pump) homologues were found located on a single operon. A gene encoding for an ArsA relative (anion-translocating ATPase) located apart from the arsRB operon was also identified. Arsenate-resistance genes encoding for proteins homologous to the arsenate reductase ArsC and the phosphate-specific transporter Pst were not found, indicating that additional unknown arsenic-resistance genes exist for arsenate tolerance. Phylogenetic analyses of ArsA-related proteins suggest separate evolutionary lines for these proteins and offer new insights into the formation of the arsA gene. The ArsB-homologous protein of F. acidarmanus had a high degree of similarity to known ArsB proteins. An evolutionary analysis of ArsB homologues across a number of species indicated a clear relationship in close agreement with 16S rRNA evolutionary lines. These results support a hypothesis of arsenic resistance developing early in the evolution of life.

Dose levels are comparable to those anticipated in future direct-drive reactors. Due to the 5–10 Hz repetition rate expected in such reactors, per-pulse effects such as material removal must be negligible. The primary wall materials investigated here are graphite and tungsten in various forms. After exposure on either RHEPP or Z, materials were analyzed for roughening and/or material removal (ablation) as a function of dose. Graphite is observed to undergo significant ablation/sublimation in response to ion exposure at the 3–4 J/cm2 level, significantly below doses expected in future dry-wall power plants. Evidence of thermomechanical stresses resulting in material loss occurs for both graphite and tungsten, and is probably related to the pulsed nature of the energy delivery. These effects are not seen in typical magnetic fusion energy (MFE) conditions where these same kinds of materials are used. Results are presented for thresholds below which no roughening or ablation occurs. Use of graphite in a ‘velvet’ two-dimensional form may mitigate the effects seen with the flat material, and alloying tungsten with rhenium may reduce its roughening due to the increased ductility of the alloy.

T1 - Plasma performance improvements with liquid lithium limiters in CDX-U JO - Fusion Engineering & Design JF - Fusion Engineering & Design Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 65 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 443 SN - 09203796 AB - The use of flowing liquid lithium as a first wall for a reactor has potentially attractive physics and engineering features. The current drive experiment-upgrade (CDX-U) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has begun experiments with a fully toroidal liquid lithium limiter. CDX-U is a compact (R=34 cm, a=22 cm, Btoroidal=2 kG, IP=100 kA, Te(0)∼100 eV, ne(0)∼5×1019 m−3) short-pulse (<25 ms) spherical tokamak with extensive diagnostics. The limiter, which consists of a shallow circular stainless steel tray of radius 34 cm and width 10 cm, can be filled with lithium to a depth of a few millimeters, and forms the lower limiting surface for the discharge. Heating elements beneath the tray are used to liquefy the lithium prior to the experiment. The total area of the tray is approximately 2000 cm2. The tokamak edge plasma, when operated in contact with the lithium-filled tray, shows evidence of reduced impurities and recycling. The reduction in recycling and impurities is largest when the lithium is liquefied by heating to 250 °C. Discharges which are limited by the liquid lithium tray show evidence of performance enhancement. Radiated power is reduced and there is spectroscopic evidence for increases in the core electron temperature. Furthermore, the use of a liquid lithium limiter reduces the need for conditioning discharges prior to high current operation. The future development path for liquid lithium limiter systems in CDX-U is also discussed.

Laboratory mice (Mus musculus) have long telomeres, although a related mouse species, Mus spretus, has human-sized telomeres. Because differences in TIN2 might explain these differences in telomere length, we cloned cDNAs encoding murine TIN2s and compared their sequence to that of human TIN2. M. musculus (Mm) and M. spretus TIN2s were >95% identical, but shared only 67% identity with human TIN2. An N-terminal truncation, or N-terminal fragment, of MmTIN2 elongated M. spretus telomeres. These findings suggest that mouse TIN2, like human TIN2, negatively regulates telomere length, and that N-terminal perturbations have dominant-negative effects. Our findings suggest that differences in TIN2 cannot explain the telomere length differences among Homo sapiens, M. musculus, and M. spretus. Nonetheless, M. spretus cells appear be a good system for studying the function of mouse telomere-associated proteins.

These compositions span the composition (15 at.% Si) at which a eutectic reaction is reported in the phase diagram. The microstructure of the Cr-16.05 at.% Si alloy is fully lamellar and devoid of any pro-eutectic phases suggesting that the best composition for obtaining fully lamellar structure is Cr-16.05 at.% Si, rather than the eutectic composition (Cr-15 at.% Si) indicated in the phase diagram. The alternating lamellae in the eutectic alloy consist of Cr (solid solution) and Cr3Si (intermetallic). Alloys that are chromium-rich relative to the 16.05 at.% Si contain pro-eutectic chromium whereas those that are silicon-rich contain proeutectic Cr3Si. Directional solidification of drop-cast Cr–Cr3Si alloys with nominal compositions ranging from 15 to 16.05 at.% Si was carried out using a high-temperature optical floating zone furnace. Uniform and well-aligned lamellar microstructures of Cr–Cr3Si were observed when the growth conditions and alloy composition were optimized. Fully lamellar microstructures were obtained after directional solidification only when the starting composition was slightly enriched in chromium (Cr-15.95 at.% Si) relative to the composition of the fully lamellar drop cast alloy (Cr-16.05 at.% Si). A possible reason for this discrepancy is chromium evaporation during directional solidification.

New techniques to affix diamond particles to a steel wire core have advanced to make this process feasible for the machining of ceramics, wood, and foam materials. Developments in fixed abrasive diamond wire machining are first reviewed. Advantages of using fixed abrasive diamond wire machining are then introduced. The process monitoring and signal processing techniques for measuring the cutting forces, wire speed, down feed rate, and wire bow angle in diamond wire saw machining are developed. The application of a capacitance sensor to measure the wire bow and a procedure to convert the wire bow to vertical cutting force in a rocking motion wire saw machine are developed. The tension force of the wire during cutting is also derived and discussed.

Three types of wood—pine, oak, and fir, and three types of foam ceramic—silicon carbide, zirconia, and zirconia toughened alumina, are tested. The research investigates the life of diamond wire and effects of process parameters on the cutting forces, force ratio, and surface roughness. A scanning electron microscope is used to study the worn diamond wire, machined surfaces, and debris. The diamond wire saw is demonstrated to be very effective in machining foam ceramics. The wire life for cutting wood at slow feed rates is low. The short tool life for dry cutting of wood indicates that more research in new fixed abrasive diamond wire and wire saw machining technologies is necessary.

In this paper, we give a brief review of the various relations proposed for this interaction force. The review is tilted toward presenting the works of those who have used the mixture theory (or the theory of interacting continua) to derive or to propose a relationship for the interaction (or diffusive) force. We propose a constitutive relation which is general and frame-indifferent and thus suitable for use in many flow conditions. At the end, we provide an alternative approach for finding the drag force on a particle in a particulate mixture. This approach has been used in the non-Newtonian fluid mechanics to find the drag force on surfaces.

This low-symmetry behavior was analyzed experimentally investigating both the initial stock and the impact-deformed material via x-ray crystallographic texture measurements and automated electron back-scatter diffraction scans to establish spatial microstructural uniformity. Polycrystal simulations based upon the 110 measured duplex texture and experimentally inferred deformation mechanisms were performed to project discrete yield surface shapes. Subsequent least squares fitting and eigensystem analysis of the resulting quadratic fourth-order tensors revealed strong normal/shear stress coupling in the yield surface shape. This mixed-mode coupling produces a shearing deformation in the 1–2 impact plane of a Taylor specimen whose axis is coincident with the compressive 3-axis. The resultant deformation generates an unusual rectangular-shaped impact footprint that is confirmed by finite-element calculations compared to experimental post-test geometries.

Experiments were performed in exponentially growing cultures, and cell survival was measured by a colony-forming assay. Cells were incubated with natural interferon β (n-IFN-β; 30–3000 IU/mL) for 24 h followed by single dose irradiation with 1 to 6 Gy of γ-rays.: ResultsSignificant differences in n-IFN-β sensitivity were found. The cell lines also differed in their radiation sensitivity, and there was no correlation between the n-IFN-β and the radiation sensitivity. In three of five cell lines, the interaction of n-IFN-β and irradiation was infra-additive; in one cell line, it was additive. For MO59J cells only, which are NHEJ-deficient, supra-additivity was observed.: ConclusionOur results confirm the remarkable heterogeneity that is characteristic of malignant glioma. The combined effect of n-IFN-β and radiation was mostly infra-additive or additive; synergistic interaction might occur in tumor cells that already have acquired repair deficiencies because of their genetic instability, as shown for the MO59J cell line.

The problem is derived from applications in quantitative elasticity imaging. We pose the problem as one of minimizing a functional and consider the use of gradient-based algorithms to solve it. In order to calculate the gradient efficiently we develop an algorithm based on the adjoint elasticity operator. The main cost associated with this algorithm is equivalent to solving two forward problems, independent of the number of optimization variables. We present numerical examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Mid-infrared absorption, due to local vibrational modes within complex molecules, is shown to be sensitive to small chemical changes associated with certain diseases. Farinfrared modes are believed to result from the folding or twisting of larger, more complex molecules. The ability for the synchrotron source to perform microscopy at a frequency of 1 THz is demonstrated.

SN - 00920606 AB - Synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) spectromicroscopy is a newly emerging bioanalytical and imaging tool. This unique technique provides mid-infrared (IR) spectra, hence chemical information, with high signal-to-noise at spatial resolutions as fine as 3 to 10 microns. Thus it enables researchers to locate, identify, and track specific chemical events within an individual living mammalian cell. Mid-IR photons are too low in energy (0.05–0.5 eV) to either break bonds or to cause ionization. In this review, we show that the synchrotron IR beam has no detectable effects on the short- and long-term viability, reproductive integrity, cell-cycle progression, and mitochondrial metabolism in living human cells, and produces only minimal sample heating (<0.5°C). These studies have established an important foundation for SR-FTIR spectromicroscopy in biological and biomedical research.

T1 - Water-vapor adsorption and surface area measurement of poorly crystalline boehmite JO - Journal of Colloid & Interface Science JF - Journal of Colloid & Interface Science Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 260 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 26 SN - 00219797 AB - Water-vapor adsorption on poorly crystalline boehmite (PCB) was studied using a gravimetric FTIR apparatus that measured FTIR spectra and water adsorption isotherms simultaneously. The intensity of the δ(HOH) band of adsorbed water changed linearly with water content and this linear relationship was used to determine the dry mass of the sample. Adsorption and desorption isotherms of PCB showed a Type IV isotherm. The BETH2O surface area of PCB was 514±36 m2/g. The mean crystallite dimensions of PCB were estimated to be 4.5×2.2×10.0 nm (dimensions along the a, b, and c axes, respectively) based on application of the Scherrer equation to powder diffraction data of PCB. A surface area value of 504±45 m2/g calculated using the mean crystallite dimensions was in good agreement with the BETH2O surface area. This work also demonstrated a method to determine surface areas for materials with minimal perturbation of their surface structure. In addition, the FTIR spectra of PCB were influenced by changes in water content. The δ(AlOH) band at 835 cm−1 observed under dry conditions was assigned to the non-H-bonded surface OH groups. As the amount of adsorbed water increased, the intensity at 835 cm−1 decreased and that at 890 and 965 cm−1 increased. The 890- and 965-cm−1 bands are assigned to surface OH groups H-bonded with adsorbed water.

Light scattering indicates ultralow mass fractal dimensions, as low as 1.2. Such low fractal dimensions, approaching the theoretical limit of a linear object, imply a chaining mechanism. Optical micrographs reveal linear chains with the particle charge alternating down the chains. Brownian dynamics simulation gives additional support for a chaining mechanism. For the polystyrene system (120-nm primary particle diameters), the fractal dimension is found to increase from 1.2 to 1.7 as the background electrolyte is increased. In terms of electrostatic screening, the results match those reported recently for larger polystyrene spheres. The low fractal dimensions appear to represent a crossover from linear chains to a structure of diffusion-limited aggregates; however, experiments under density-neutral conditions imply that sedimentation plays an important role in the formation of ultralow fractal dimensions. The practical implication is that microcomposites with a locally uniform distribution of starting materials and almost any degree of branching can be prepared from oppositely charged particles.

A multilayer, one-dimensional analytical solution is presented for determining percolation flux from temperature data. Case studies have shown that the analytical solution agrees very well with results from the numerical code, TOUGH2. The results of the analysis yield percolation fluxes in the range from 0 to 20 mm/year for most of the deep boreholes. This range is in good agreement with the results of infiltration studies at Yucca Mountain. Percolation flux for the shallower boreholes, however, cannot be accurately determined from temperature data alone because large gas flow in the shallow system alters the temperature profiles. Percolation-flux estimates for boreholes located near or intersecting major faults are significantly higher than those for other boreholes. These estimates may be affected by gas flow in the faults.

These studies are based on two- and three-dimensional (2-D and 3-D) numerical models using site-specific parameters. The 2-D and 3-D models use high-resolution spatial discretization to explicitly include effects of discrete fractures with stochastically developed fracture permeabilities and a continuum approach. The permeability field is generated based on air permeability measurements at various scales. For most of the cases considered, uniform infiltration with different average rates (1–500 mm/year) is prescribed at the top of the model, while variability in outflow at the bottom of the model is used to evaluate the degree of flow focusing. In addition, scenarios involving nonuniform infiltration at the top boundary, different permeability correlation lengths and different flow-allocation schemes were analyzed. The modeling results obtained from all of the cases showed a remarkably similar flow-focusing pattern at the repository horizon. Furthermore, tracer transport simulation results also revealed additional features of focused flow and transport through the fracture network.

At several locations, the measured values of 36Cl/Cl ratios for salts leached from rock samples are high enough to provide strong evidence that at least a small component of bomb-pulse 36Cl, fallout from atmospheric testing of nuclear devices in the 1950s and 1960s, was measured, implying that some fraction of the water traveled from the ground surface through 200–300 m of unsaturated rock to the level of the ESF during the last 50 years. These data are analyzed here using a formal statistical approach based on log-linear models to evaluate alternative conceptual models for the distribution of such fast flow paths. The most significant determinant of the presence of bomb-pulse 36Cl in a sample from the welded Topopah Spring unit (TSw) is the structural setting from which the sample was collected. Our analysis generally supports the conceptual model that a fault that cuts through the nonwelded Paintbrush tuff unit (PTn) that overlies the TSw is required in order for bomb-pulse 36Cl to be transmitted to the sample depth in less than 50 years. Away from PTn-cutting faults, the ages of water samples at the ESF appear to be a strong function of the thickness of the nonwelded tuff between the ground surface and the ESF, due to slow matrix flow in that unit.

The analysis of infiltration rates measured at both sites showed three temporal scales of infiltration rate: (1) a macro-scale trend of overall decreasing flow, (2) a meso-scale trend of fast and slow motion exhibiting three-stage variations of the flow rate (decreasing, increasing, and [again] decreasing flow rate, as observed in soils in the presence of entrapped air), and (3) micro-scale (high frequency) fluctuations. Infiltration tests in the nonwelded unit at Alcove 4 indicate that this unit may effectively dampen episodic fast infiltration events; however, well-known Kostyakov, Horton, and Philip equations do not satisfactorily describe the observed trends of the infiltration rate. Instead, a Weibull distribution model can most accurately describe experimentally determined time trends of the infiltration rate. Infiltration tests in highly permeable, fractured, welded tuff at Alcove 6 indicate that the infiltration rate exhibits pulsation, which may have been caused by multiple threshold effects and water–air redistribution between fractures and matrix. The empirical relationships between the extrinsic seepage from fractures, matrix imbibition, and gravity drainage versus the infiltration rate, as well as scaling and self-similarity for the leading edge of the water front are the hallmark of the nonlinear dynamic processes in water flow under episodic infiltration through fractured tuff. Based on the analysis of experimental data, we propose a conceptual model of a dynamic fracture flow and fracture–matrix interaction in fractured tuff, incorporating the time-dependent processes of water redistribution in the fracture–matrix system.

Seepage is a key factor affecting the performance of the potential nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Three-dimensional numerical models were developed to simulate field tests in which water was released from boreholes above excavated niches. Data from air-injection tests were geostatistically analyzed to infer the heterogeneous structure of the fracture permeability field. The heterogeneous continuum model was then calibrated against the measured amount of water that seeped into the opening. This approach resulted in the estimation of model-related, seepage-specific parameters on the scale of interest. The ability of the calibrated model to predict seepage was examined by comparing calculated with measured seepage rates from additional experiments conducted in different portions of the fracture network. We conclude that an effective capillary strength parameter is suitable to characterize seepage-related features and processes for use in a prediction model of average seepage into potential waste-emplacement drifts.

The abundance of fractures and the spatial variability in their hydraulic properties, along with the heterogeneity within lithologic formations, make evaluation of unsaturated processes occurring within the potential repository horizon complex. Fracture mapping and field testing show that fractures are well connected, yet considerable variation is seen within and between units comprising the potential repository horizon with regard to fracture trace length, spacing, permeability, and capillarity. These variations have important implications for the distribution and movement of water and solutes through the unsaturated zone. Numerical models designed to assess such phenomena as unsaturated flow, transport, and coupled thermal–hydrological processes each require their own conceptual model for fracture networks, in order to identify the subset of all fractures that is relevant to the particular study. We evaluate several process-dependent conceptual models for fractures and identify the relevant fracture subsets related to these processes.

T1 - Flow and transport in the drift shadow in a dual-continuum model JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 133 SN - 01697722 AB - The current concept for high-level radioactive waste disposal at Yucca Mountain is for the waste to be placed in underground tunnels (or drifts) in the middle of a thick unsaturated zone. Flow modeling and field testing have shown that not all flow encountering a drift will seep into the drift. The underlying reason for the diversion of unsaturated flow around a drift is that capillary forces in the fractures and matrix prevent water entry into the drift unless the capillary pressure in the rock decreases sufficiently to allow for gravity forces to overcome the capillary barrier. As a result of the capillary barrier effect, flow tends to be diverted around the drift, affecting the flow pattern beneath the drift. For some distance beneath the drift, water saturation and flux are reduced. This drift shadow zone is much more pronounced in the fractures than in the matrix due to dominance of gravity over capillary forces in the fractures. Moving downward, away from the drift, the shadow zone asymptotically re-equilibrates to the undisturbed flow conditions due to capillary forces. The behavior of radionuclide transport in this zone of reduced flow is investigated here because this will affect the amount of time required for radionuclides to penetrate the unsaturated zone. The delay of radionuclide movement in the geosphere is one aspect of the potential repository system that could limit public exposure to radioactive waste.The behavior of flow and transport is calculated using a two-dimensional, drift-scale dual-permeability model extending to nine drift diameters below the potential waste emplacement drift. The flow model is first compared with an analytical model for a single continuum. Then, the dual-continuum flow model is investigated with respect to drift-scale and mountain-scale property sets. Transport calculations are performed for a wide range of flow conditions and for different aqueous radionuclides and colloids. Findings indicate that transport times for dissolved or colloidal material released from a drift without seepage are several orders of magnitude longer than if the releases occurred in the undisturbed flow field. Furthermore, the calculations indicate that the transport rate for radionuclides released in the drift shadow is relatively insensitive to flow rates in the fractures, but is sensitive to the flow rate in the matrix.

Drifts in which waste packages will be emplaced are subject to degradation in the form of rockfall from the drift ceiling, induced by stress-relief, seismic, or thermal effects. The objective of this study is to calculate seepage rates, for various drift-degradation scenarios and for different values of percolation flux, in the Topopah Spring middle nonlithophysal (Tptpmn) and the Topopah Spring lower lithophysal (Tptpll) units at Yucca Mountain. Seepage calculations are conducted by (1) defining a heterogeneous drift-scale permeability model with field data, (2) selecting calibrated parameters associated with the Tptpmn and Tptpll units, and (3) simulating seepage, based on detailed degraded-drift profiles obtained from a separate rock mechanics engineering analysis. The simulation results indicate (1) that the seepage threshold (i.e., the percolation flux at which seepage first occurs) is not significantly changed by drift degradation and (2) the degradation-induced increase in seepage above the threshold is influenced probably more by the shape of the cavity created by rockfall than by rockfall volume.

T1 - Modeling flow and transport in unsaturated fractured rock: an evaluation of the continuum approach JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 173 SN - 01697722 AB - Because the continuum approach is relatively simple and straightforward to implement, it has been commonly used in modeling flow and transport in unsaturated fractured rock. However, the usefulness of this approach can be questioned in terms of its adequacy for representing fingering flow and transport in unsaturated fractured rock. The continuum approach thus needs to be evaluated carefully by comparing simulation results with field observations directly related to unsaturated flow and transport processes. This paper reports on such an evaluation, based on a combination of model calibration and prediction, using data from an infiltration test carried out in a densely fractured rock within the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Comparisons between experimental and modeling results show that the continuum approach may be able to capture important features of flow and transport processes observed from the test. The modeling results also show that matrix diffusion may have a significant effect on the overall transport behavior in unsaturated fractured rocks, which can be used to estimate effective fracture–matrix interface areas based on tracer transport data. While more theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies are needed to provide a conclusive evaluation, this study suggests that the continuum approach is useful for modeling flow and transport in unsaturated, densely fractured rock.

The lithophysal rock is described as a tri-continuum medium, consisting of fractures, rock matrices, and cavities. In the conceptual model, fractures have homogeneous properties throughout and interact with rock matrices and cavities that have different permeabilities and porosities. Global flow occurs through the fracture network only, while rock matrices and cavities contain the majority of fluid storage and provide fluid drainage to the fractures. Interporosity flows between the triple media are described using a pseudosteady-state concept and the system is characterized by interporosity transmissivity ratios and storativity ratio of each continuum. Pressure behavior is analyzed by examining the pressure drawdown curves, the derivative plots, and the effects of the characteristic parameters. Typical pressure responses from fractures, matrices, and cavities are represented by three semilog straight lines; the transitions by two troughs below the stabilization lines in the derivative plots. The analytical solution to the proposed model is further verified using a numerical simulation. The analytical model has also been applied to a published field-buildup well test and is able to match the pressure buildup data.

The simulation modeling approach is based on a continuum formulation of coupled multiphase fluid flow and tracer transport processes through fractured porous rock using a dual-continuum concept. Infiltration rate calibrations were performed using the porewater chloride data. Model results of chloride distributions were improved in matching the observed data with the calibrated infiltration rates. Statistical analyses of the frequency distribution for overall percolation fluxes and chloride concentration in the unsaturated zone system demonstrate that the use of the calibrated infiltration rates had an insignificant effect on the distribution of simulated percolation fluxes but significantly changed the predicted distribution of simulated chloride concentrations. An analytical method was also applied to model transient chloride transport. The method was verified by three-dimensional simulation results to be capable of capturing major chemical transient behavior and trends. Effects of lateral flow in the Paintbrush nonwelded unit on percolation fluxes and chloride distribution were studied by three-dimensional simulations with increased horizontal permeability. The combined results from these model calibrations furnish important information for the UZ model studies, contributing to performance assessment of the potential repository.

The goal of the effort was to produce a computational model that can be coupled to the project''s calibrated 3D site-scale flow model so that the results of that effort could be incorporated directly into the Total System Performance Assessment (TSPA) analyses. The transport model simulates multiple species (typically 20 or more) with complex time-varying and spatially varying releases from the potential repository. Water-table rise, climate-change scenarios, and decay chains are additional features of the model. A cell-based particle-tracking method was employed that includes a dual-permeability formulation, advection, longitudinal dispersion, matrix diffusion, and colloid-facilitated transport. This paper examines the transport behavior of several key radionuclides through the unsaturated zone using the calibrated 3D unsaturated flow fields. Computational results illustrate the relative importance of fracture flow, matrix diffusion, and lateral diversion on the distribution of travel times from the simulated repository to the water table for various climatic conditions. Results also indicate rapid transport through fractures for a portion of the released mass. Further refinement of the model will address several issues, including conservatism in the transport model, the assignment of parameters in the flow and transport models, and the underlying assumptions used to support the conceptual models of flow and transport in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain.

During the experiments, changes in moisture content were monitored within the test bed, and a slot excavated below the test bed was visually inspected for seepage. Our field tests suggest that the dry porous PTn matrix is capable of attenuating episodic percolation fluxes in localized areas (such as around faults) where fast flow would be expected to dominate. Once wetted, the matrix is able to retain the moisture over a period of months. As saturation increases in the matrix, less water imbibes along the fault and more water travels farther along the fault. From this observation, we infer that a sequence of infiltration events separated by periods of up to a few months could convey water over increasing distances along the fault.

We designed and conducted a flow visualization experiment to investigate capillary barrier performance in this context. A two-dimensional, thin slab, test system replicated the physical emplacement drift to one-quarter scale (1.4-m diameter) and included the simulated drift wall, waste canister, pedestal, capillary barrier backfill, and host-rock fracture system. Water was supplied at the top of the simulated drift and allowed to discharge by way of wicks located along the left wall of the cell (simulated fractures) or by a gravity drain at the bottom of the right side (simulated impermeable rock with floor drain). Photographs captured the migration of water and a blue dye tracer within the system, analytical balances measured the mass balance of water, while tensiometers measured the capillary pressure at numerous locations. Of particular concern to this test was the drainage of the capillary barrier, which terminates against the drift wall. We found that while the simulated fractures (left side) and drain (right side) each influenced the performance of the capillary barrier at early time, they had little differential affect at later times. Also of concern was the small disparity in capillary properties between the fine and coarse layer (limited by the need of a fine-grained material that would not filter into the coarse layer under dry conditions). While the capillary barrier was able to divert the majority of flow toward the edges of the system and away from the simulated waste canister, the barrier did not preclude flow in the coarse layer, which was noted to be visually wet next to the waste canister on day 92 and was continuing to take on water at termination on day 112.

In situ experiments were conducted on a 10×10×7 m block comprising a layered Topopah Springs/Calico Hills formation with two imbedded faults. Tracer solution was continuously injected in eight parallel boreholes arranged on two horizontal planes. Twelve collection boreholes were emplaced perpendicular to the injection holes and were both horizontal and inclined. Solution samples were collected regularly using a sampling assembly consisting of an inverted membrane and sorbing-paper sampling pads. Comparisons between measurements and predictions show that, except for the occasional drops of concentrations observed in the field, the current model is able to capture the general characteristics of the system with varying levels of agreement using laboratory-measured mean hydraulic properties. Simulation results and field observations revealed a capillary-driven flow in the system. Good quantitative agreement is generally observed for near-field boreholes, however, this agreement deteriorates and the simulated solute concentration is underestimated at boreholes farther away from the injection points. Increasing the spatial resolution of the simulation improves the model predictions only to a limited extent. Scaling issues may need to be considered to describe flow and transport events, as the travel distance becomes large.

T1 - A geostatistical modeling study of the effect of heterogeneity on radionuclide transport in the unsaturated zone, Yucca Mountain JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 319 SN - 01697722 AB - Retardation of certain radionuclides due to sorption to zeolitic minerals is considered one of the major barriers to contaminant transport in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain. However, zeolitically altered areas are lower in permeability than unaltered regions, which raises the possibility that contaminants might bypass the sorptive zeolites. The relationship between hydrologic and chemical properties must be understood to predict the transport of radionuclides through zeolitically altered areas. In this study, we incorporate mineralogical information into an unsaturated zone transport model using geostatistical techniques to correlate zeolitic abundance to hydrologic and chemical properties. Geostatistical methods are used to develop variograms, kriging maps, and conditional simulations of zeolitic abundance. We then investigate, using flow and transport modeling on a heterogeneous field, the relationship between percent zeolitic alteration, permeability changes due to alteration, sorption due to alteration, and their overall effect on radionuclide transport. We compare these geostatistical simulations to a simplified threshold method in which each spatial location in the model is assigned either zeolitic or vitric properties based on the zeolitic abundance at that location. A key conclusion is that retardation due to sorption predicted by using the continuous distribution is larger than the retardation predicted by the threshold method. The reason for larger retardation when using the continuous distribution is a small but significant sorption at locations with low zeolitic abundance. If, for practical reasons, models with homogeneous properties within each layer are used, we recommend setting nonzero Kds in the vitric tuffs to mimic the more rigorous continuous distribution simulations. Regions with high zeolitic abundance may not be as effective in retarding radionuclides such as Neptunium since these rocks are lower in permeability and contaminants can only enter these regions through molecular diffusion.

Different periods of site characterization activities and prominent issues concerning the unsaturated zone (UZ) are summarized. Data collection activities have evolved from mapping of faults and fractures to estimation of percolation through tuff layers, and to quantification of seepage into drifts. Evaluation of discrete flow paths in drifts has led to fracture–matrix interaction and matrix diffusion tests over different scales. The effects of tuff interfaces and local faults are evaluated in fractured-welded and porous-nonwelded units. Mobilization of matrix water and redistribution of moisture are measured in thermal tests. Lessons learned from underground tests are used to focus on processes needed for additional quantification. Migration through the drift shadow zone and liquid flow through faults are two important issues that have evolved from current knowledge.

In this study, parallel computing techniques, as implemented into the TOUGH2 code, are applied in large-scale numerical simulations on a distributed-memory parallel computer. The modeling study has been conducted using an over-1-million-cell three-dimensional numerical model, which incorporates a wide variety of field data for the highly heterogeneous fractured formation at Yucca Mountain. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of various surface infiltration scenarios (under current and possible future climates) on flow through the UZ system, using various hydrogeological conceptual models with refined grids. The results indicate that the 1-million-cell models produce better resolution results and reveal some flow patterns that cannot be obtained using coarse-grid modeling models.

Simulations of radionuclide migration in the SZ have been performed using the calibrated three-dimensional (3-D) SZ site-scale flow and transport model. An innovative particle-tracking method was used to simulate transport that includes the processes of advection, dispersion, matrix diffusion, and sorption. The uncertainties in groundwater flow and radionuclide transport were quantitatively evaluated to develop uncertainty distributions for key model parameters, and multiple realizations of the SZ system were simulated using the SZ site-scale model. The results of multiple realizations of radionuclide transport indicate significant aggregate uncertainty in transport times through the SZ. The simulated radionuclide mass breakthrough curves in the SZ have been coupled with other components of the repository system in Total System Performance Assessment (TSPA) analyses and constitute the means by which uncertainty in the SZ is incorporated into regulatory analyses. Regression analysis has been used to determine the sensitivity of radionuclide transport simulation results to the uncertainty of individual model input parameters. Results of the sensitivity analysis indicate that median radionuclide transport times were dominantly controlled by uncertainty in the specific discharge in the SZ, with sorption and retardation in the alluvium playing important roles for some radionuclides.

The most straightforward approach is to account for the 3-D drift- and mountain-scale dimensionality all within a single monolithic thermohydrologic model. This approach is too computationally expensive to be a viable simulation tool capable of addressing all waste-package locations in the repository. The Multiscale Thermohydrologic Model (MSTHM) is a computationally efficient alternative to addressing these modeling issues. In this paper, we describe the principal calculation stages to predict temperature, relative humidity, and liquid-saturation, as well as other thermohydrologic variables, in the drifts and in the host rock. Using a three-drift repository example (which is a scaled-down version of the proposed repository), we demonstrate the validity of the MSTHM approach against a nested monolithic thermohydrologic model.

These include a Higher-Temperature Operating Mode (HTOM), which results in a localized boiling zone around each emplacement drift, and a Lower-Temperature Operating Mode (LTOM), which always maintains sub-boiling temperatures throughout the repository. The HTOM places all waste packages nearly end to end, making the lineal power density greater than in the LTOM. The lower lineal power density in the LTOM was achieved by placing some waste packages farther apart (which results in a larger repository footprint), and through an increased reliance on pre-closure ventilation to remove the waste-package-generated heat. We focus on temperature T and relative humidity RH at the waste-package and drift-wall surfaces, and on in-drift evaporation. In general, HTOM temperatures are greater than corresponding LTOM temperatures, exhibit similar spatial variability and have a stronger dependence on infiltration flux. The duration of RH reduction on waste packages is similar for the LTOM and HTOM. A major difference between the LTOM and HTOM is the lower waste-package temperature at any given value of waste-package RH for the LTOM. Waste-package temperatures in the LTOM, by design, remain below ∼85 °C; the absence of RH reduction arising from host-rock dryout causes waste-package RH to remain above about 40%. The HTOM waste packages experience higher temperatures and correspondingly lower RH conditions as a result of RH reduction arising from host-rock dryout. For most of the repository area, the HTOM delays the potential onset of gravity-driven seepage compared to the LTOM (as indicated by the duration of boiling at the drift wall). Boiling conditions in the HTOM also delays the onset of capillary-driven seepage into the granular invert, causing the HTOM to have less evaporation in the invert during the first 800–1500 years than the LTOM; subsequent evaporation rates are higher in the HTOM, due to the higher power density.

As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate thermal-hydrological-chemical (THC) effects on flow in fractured media, we performed a laboratory experiment and numerical simulations to investigate mineral dissolution and precipitation under anticipated temperature and pressure conditions in the repository. To replicate mineral dissolution by vapor condensate in fractured tuff, water was flowed through crushed Yucca Mountain tuff at 94 °C. The resulting steady-state fluid composition had a total dissolved solids content of about 140 mg/l; silica was the dominant dissolved constituent. A portion of the steady-state mineralized water was flowed into a vertically oriented planar fracture in a block of welded Topopah Spring Tuff that was maintained at 80 °C at the top and 130 °C at the bottom. The fracture began to seal with amorphous silica within 5 days.A 1-D plug-flow numerical model was used to simulate mineral dissolution, and a similar model was developed to simulate the flow of mineralized water through a planar fracture, where boiling conditions led to mineral precipitation. Predicted concentrations of the major dissolved constituents for the tuff dissolution were within a factor of 2 of the measured average steady-state compositions. The mineral precipitation simulations predicted the precipitation of amorphous silica at the base of the boiling front, leading to a greater than 50-fold decrease in fracture permeability in 5 days, consistent with the laboratory experiment.These results help validate the use of a numerical model to simulate THC processes at Yucca Mountain. The experiment and simulations indicated that boiling and concomitant precipitation of amorphous silica could cause significant reductions in fracture porosity and permeability on a local scale. However, differences in fluid flow rates and thermal gradients between the experimental setup and anticipated conditions at Yucca Mountain need to be factored into scaling the results of the dissolution/precipitation experiments and associated simulations to THC models for the potential Yucca Mountain repository.

T1 - The saturated zone at Yucca Mountain: an overview of the characterization and assessment of the saturated zone as a barrier to potential radionuclide migration JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 477 SN - 01697722 AB - The US Department of Energy is pursuing Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for the development of a geologic repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste, if the repository is able to meet applicable radiation protection standards established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Effective performance of such a repository would rely on a number of natural and engineered barriers to isolate radioactive waste from the accessible environment. Groundwater beneath Yucca Mountain is the primary medium through which most radionuclides might move away from the potential repository. The saturated zone (SZ) system is expected to act as a natural barrier to this possible movement of radionuclides both by delaying their transport and by reducing their concentration before they reach the accessible environment. Information obtained from Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project activities is used to estimate groundwater flow rates through the site-scale SZ flow and transport model area and to constrain general conceptual models of groundwater flow in the site-scale area. The site-scale conceptual model is a synthesis of what is known about flow and transport processes at the scale required for total system performance assessment of the site. This knowledge builds on and is consistent with knowledge that has accumulated at the regional scale but is more detailed because more data are available at the site-scale level. The mathematical basis of the site-scale model and the associated numerical approaches are designed to assist in quantifying the uncertainty in the permeability of rocks in the geologic framework model and to represent accurately the flow and transport processes included in the site-scale conceptual model. Confidence in the results of the mathematical model was obtained by comparing calculated to observed hydraulic heads, estimated to measured permeabilities, and lateral flow rates calculated by the site-scale model to those calculated by the regional-scale flow model. In addition, it was confirmed that the flow paths leaving the region of the potential repository are consistent with those inferred from gradients of measured head and those independently inferred from water-chemistry data. The general approach of the site-scale SZ flow and transport model analysis is to calculate unit breakthrough curves for radionuclides at the interface between the SZ and the biosphere using the three-dimensional site-scale SZ flow and transport model. Uncertainties are explicitly incorporated into the site-scale SZ flow and transport abstractions through key parameters and conceptual models.

The model is based on a two-dimensional, cross-sectional, dual-permeability model of the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain and uses a stochastic approach to investigate the effect of small-scale heterogeneous features. The studies were conducted using one uniform fracture permeability case, three realizations of stochastically generated fracture permeability, one discrete permeability feature case, and one increased ambient liquid flux case. In all cases, the models predict that completely dry drift conditions will develop above and below the drift in 10–100 years and remain dry for 1000–2000 years. During this period, the models predict no seepage into drifts, although liquid flux above the drifts and within the drift pillars may increase by up to two orders of magnitude above ambient flux. This is because the heat released by the emplaced waste is sufficient to vaporize liquid flux of one to two orders of magnitude higher than present-day ambient flux for over 1000 years. The results also show that unsaturated zone thermal–hydrological (TH) models with uniform layer permeability can adequately predict the evolution of seepage and moisture distribution in the rock mass surrounding the repository drifts. The models further show that although variability in fracture permeability may focus and enhance liquid flow in regions of enhanced liquid saturation (due to condensation above the drifts), vaporization and vapor diffusion can maintain a dry environment within the drifts for thousands of years.

The modeling study is based on the current thermal–hydrological (TH) mountain-scale model, which uses a locally refined 2D north–south cross-section and dual-permeability numerical approach. The model provides a prediction of the mountain-scale TH response under the thermal-load scenario of 1.45 kW/m, while accounting for future climatic changes and the effects of drift ventilation. The TH simulation results show that ventilation of the repository drifts has a large impact on thermal–hydrologic regimes and moisture-flow conditions at the repository. In both cases, with and without ventilation, the TH model predicts dry or reduced liquid saturation near the drifts for over 1000 years, during which liquid flux through the drifts is reduced to either zero or less than the ambient flux. Without ventilation, the model predicts higher temperatures at the repository, but no major moisture redistribution in the UZ except in the areas very near the heated drifts.

The microbial growth results from the introduction of water, ground support, and waste package materials into the deep unsaturated rock. The simulations, which spanned 1 million years, were accomplished using a newly developed computer code, Microbial Impacts to the Near-Field Environment Geochemistry (MING). MING uses environmental thresholds for limiting microbial growth to temperatures below 120 °C and above relative humidities of 90% in repository drifts. Once these thresholds are met, MING expands upon a mass balance and thermodynamic approach proposed by McKinley et al. [FEMS Microbiol. Rev. 20 (1997) 545] by using kinetic rates to supply constituents from design materials and constituent fluxes including solubilized rock components into the drift to perform two separate mass balance calculations as a function of time. The first (nutrient limit) assesses the available nutrients (C, N, P and S) and calculates how many microorganisms can be produced based on a microorganism stoichiometry of C160(H280O80)N30P2S. The second (energy limit) calculates the energy available from optimally combined redox couples for the temperature and pH at that time. This optimization maximizes those reactions that produce >15 kJ/mol (limit on useable energy) using an iterative linear optimization technique. The final available energy value is converted to microbial mass at a rate of 1 kg of biomass (dry weight) for every 64 MJ of energy. These two values (nutrient limit and energy limit) are then compared and the smaller value represents the number of microorganisms that can be produced over a specified time. MING can also be adapted to investigate other problems of interest as the model can be used in saturated and unsaturated environments and in laboratory situations to establish microbial growth limitations. Other projected uses include investigations of contaminated locations where monitored natural attenuation or engineered bioremediation could be employed.

Two different stochastic continuum models (SCM) that define the spatial variability of permeability are inferred from the observed fracture characteristics and the measured permeabilities. These models are created with a combination of indicator geostatistics and boolean simulation that allow for modeling different correlation lengths and anisotropy ratios at different permeability thresholds as well as the inclusion of large, high-permeability features. Longitudinal and transverse (horizontal and vertical) dispersion through the permeability realizations is evaluated for both distributed and focused source geometries using groundwater flow and streamline particle tracking. These numerical results are compared to behavior predicted by an analytical solution and to dispersivities estimated by an expert panel. Early time transport results are significantly non-Gaussian due to the strong heterogeneity of the fractured medium. At late times, travel distances of 23 correlation lengths, the longitudinal and transverse horizontal dispersivity results are well approximated by the analytical solution and the expert elicitation estimates. The calculated transverse vertical dispersivity values are smaller than those estimated from the analytical solution. Inclusion of high-permeability features of the same size as the model domain with a distributed planar source creates extreme values of the longitudinal and transverse horizontal dispersivity.

T1 - Uncertainties in coupled thermal–hydrological processes associated with the Drift Scale Test at Yucca Mountain, Nevada JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 595 SN - 01697722 AB - Understanding thermally driven coupled hydrological, mechanical, and chemical processes in unsaturated fractured tuff is essential for evaluating the performance of the potential radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The Drift Scale Test (DST), intended for acquiring such an understanding of these processes, has generated a huge volume of temperature and moisture redistribution data. Sophisticated thermal–hydrological (TH) conceptual models have yielded a good fit between simulation results and those measured data. However, some uncertainties in understanding the TH processes associated with the DST still exist. This paper evaluates these uncertainties and provides quantitative estimates of the range of these uncertainties. Of particular interest for the DST are the uncertainties resulting from the unmonitored loss of vapor through an open bulkhead of the test. There was concern that the outcome from the test might have been significantly altered by these losses. Using alternative conceptual models, we illustrate that predicted mean temperatures from the DST are within 1 °C of the measured mean temperatures through the first 2 years of heating. The simulated spatial and temporal evolution of drying and condensation fronts is found to be qualitatively consistent with measured saturation data. Energy and mass balance computation shows that no more than 13% of the input energy is lost because of vapor leaving the test domain through the bulkhead. The change in average saturation in fractures is also relatively small. For a hypothetical situation in which no vapor is allowed to exit through the bulkhead, the simulated average fracture saturation is not qualitatively different enough to be discerned by measured moisture redistribution data. This leads us to conclude that the DST, despite the uncertainties associated with open field testing, has provided an excellent understanding of the TH processes.

T1 - Testing and parameterizing a conceptual solute transport model in saturated fractured tuff using sorbing and nonsorbing tracers in cross-hole tracer tests JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 613 SN - 01697722 AB - Two cross-hole tracer tests involving the simultaneous injection of two nonsorbing solute tracers with different diffusion coefficients (bromide and pentafluorobenzoate) and one weakly sorbing solute tracer (lithium ion) were conducted in two different intervals at the C-wells complex near the site of a potential high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, NV. The tests were conducted to (1) test a conceptual radionuclide transport model for saturated, fractured tuffs near Yucca Mountain and (2) obtain transport parameter estimates for predictive modeling of radionuclide transport. The differences between the responses of the two nonsorbing tracers and the sorbing tracer (when normalized to injection masses) were consistent with a dual-porosity transport system in which matrix diffusion was occurring. The concentration attenuation of the sorbing tracer relative to the nonsorbing tracers suggested that diffusion occurred primarily into matrix pores, not simply into stagnant water within the fractures. The Kd values deduced from the lithium responses were generally larger than Kd values measured in laboratory batch sorption tests using crushed C-wells cores. This result supports the use of laboratory-derived Kd values for predicting sorbing species transport at the site, as the laboratory Kd values would result in underprediction of sorption and hence conservative transport predictions. The tracer tests also provided estimates of effective flow porosity and longitudinal dispersivity at the site. The tests clearly demonstrated the advantages of using multiple tracers of different physical and chemical characteristics to distinguish between alternative conceptual transport models and to obtain transport parameter estimates that are better constrained than can be obtained using only a single tracer or using multiple nonsorbing tracers without a sorbing tracer.

The analysis considers changes in rock mass porosity, permeability, and capillary pressure caused by rock deformations during drift excavation, as well as those caused by thermomechanically induced rock deformations after emplacement of the heat-generating waste. The analysis consists of a detailed calibration of coupled hydraulic–mechanical rock mass properties against field experiments, followed by a prediction of the coupled thermal, hydrologic, and mechanical behavior around a potential repository drift. For the particular problem studied and parameters used, the analysis indicates that the stress-induced permeability changes will be within one order of magnitude and that these permeability changes do not significantly impact the overall flow pattern around the repository drift.

The model considers the flow of water, gas, and heat, plus reactions between minerals, CO2 gas, and aqueous species, and porosity–permeability–capillary pressure coupling for a dual permeability (fractures and matrix) medium. Two possible operating temperature modes are investigated: a “high-temperature” case with temperatures exceeding the boiling point of water for several hundred years, and a “low-temperature” case with temperatures remaining below boiling for the entire life of the repository. In both cases, possible seepage waters are characterized by dilute to moderate salinities and mildly alkaline pH values. These trends in fluid composition and mineral alteration are controlled by various coupled mechanisms. For example, upon heating and boiling, CO2 exsolution from pore waters raises pH and causes calcite precipitation. In condensation zones, this CO2 redissolves, resulting in a decrease in pH that causes calcite dissolution and enhances feldspar alteration to clays. Heat also enhances dissolution of wall rock minerals leading to elevated silica concentrations. Amorphous silica precipitates through evaporative concentration caused by boiling in the high-temperature case, but does not precipitate in the low-temperature case. Some alteration of feldspars to clays and zeolites is predicted in the high-temperature case. In both cases, calcite precipitates when percolating waters are heated near the drift. The predicted porosity decrease around drifts in the high-temperature case (several percent of the fracture volume) is larger by at least one order of magnitude than in the low temperature case. Although there are important differences between the two investigated temperature modes in the predicted evolution of fluid compositions and mineral alteration around drifts, these differences are largely within to the model uncertainty and the variability of water compositions at Yucca Mountain.

The validation of such numerical codes can be accomplished by comparison of numerical simulations against appropriate analytical solutions. In this paper, we present analytical solutions for the reactive transport of N-member radionuclide chains (i.e., multiple species of radionuclides and their daughter species) through a discrete fracture in a porous rock matrix applying a system decomposition approach. We consider the transport of N-member radionuclide chains in a single-fracture–matrix system as a starting point to simulate more realistic and complex systems. The processes considered are advection along the fracture, lateral diffusion in the matrix, radioactive decay of multiple radionuclides, and adsorption in both the fracture and matrix. Different retardation factors can be specified for the fracture and matrix. However, all species are assumed to share the same retardation factors for the fracture and matrix, respectively. Although a daughter species may penetrate farther along the fracture than its parent species when a constant-concentration boundary condition is applied, our results indicate that all species retain the same transport speed in the fracture if a pulse of the first species is released into the fracture. This solution scheme provides a way to validate numerical computer codes of radionuclide transport in fractured rock, such as those being used to assess the performance of a potential nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain.

Various models for analyzing natural convection have been employed. The equivalent porous medium approach using Darcy''s law has been used in many YMP applications. However, this approach has questionable fidelity, especially for turbulent flow conditions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which is based on the fundamental Navier–Stokes equations, is currently being evaluated as a technique to calculate thermally induced natural convection in YMP. Data–model comparisons for turbulent flow conditions show good agreement of CFD predictions with existing experiments including YMP-specific data.

T1 - The site-scale saturated zone flow model for Yucca Mountain: calibration of different conceptual models and their impact on flow paths JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 62/63 M3 - Article SP - 731 SN - 01697722 AB - This paper presents several different conceptual models of the Large Hydraulic Gradient (LHG) region north of Yucca Mountain and describes the impact of those models on groundwater flow near the potential high-level repository site. The results are based on a numerical model of site-scale saturated zone beneath Yucca Mountain. This model is used for performance assessment predictions of radionuclide transport and to guide future data collection and modeling activities. The numerical model is calibrated by matching available water level measurements using parameter estimation techniques, along with more informal comparisons of the model to hydrologic and geochemical information. The model software (hydrologic simulation code FEHM and parameter estimation software PEST) and model setup allows for efficient calibration of multiple conceptual models. Until now, the Large Hydraulic Gradient has been simulated using a low-permeability, east–west oriented feature, even though direct evidence for this feature is lacking. In addition to this model, we investigate and calibrate three additional conceptual models of the Large Hydraulic Gradient, all of which are based on a presumed zone of hydrothermal chemical alteration north of Yucca Mountain. After examining the heads and permeabilities obtained from the calibrated models, we present particle pathways from the potential repository that record differences in the predicted groundwater flow regime. The results show that Large Hydraulic Gradient can be represented with the alternate conceptual models that include the hydrothermally altered zone. The predicted pathways are mildly sensitive to the choice of the conceptual model and more sensitive to the quality of calibration in the vicinity on the repository. These differences are most likely due to different degrees of fit of model to data, and do not represent important differences in hydrologic conditions for the different conceptual models.

Recently, the US Department of Energy approved the declassification of the NTS radionuclide inventory by principal geographic test centers. This permits unclassified publication of radionuclide totals for the Yucca Flat, Pahute Mesa—Area 19, Pahute Mesa—Area 20, Frenchman Flat, and Rainier Mesa/Shoshone Mountain testing locations. Activities are reported as of September 23, 1992, the date of the last underground nuclear test conducted at the NTS, and September 23, 2492, after 500 years of radioactive decay. The availability of these data affords an opportunity for the analysis of the radiologic source term within the boundaries of local hydrogeologic units and provides insight to where radionuclides are sited relative to potential exposure pathways.

This method exploits the sensitivity of MRI to chemical differences between the three phases to directly image the fluid phase and one of the solid phases, with the third phase obtained by subtraction. 19F spin–echo imaging of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) oil was interlaced with 1H SPRITE imaging of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) particles. The third phase was comprised of borosilicate glass spheres, which were not visible while imaging the PTFE or LDPE phases. The method is demonstrated by performing measurements on 2-phase materials containing only the floating (LDPE) particles, with the results contrasted to the experimental behaviour of the individual phases in the full 3-phase system. All experiments were performed using nearly monodisperse particles, with initial suspension volume fractions, φi, of 0.1.

Several phases, including CoPt in the L10 structure, Co3Pt, and CoPt3 that has the L12 structure, are selectively formed by varying the atomic ratio of implanted Co and Pt. These alloys are crystallographically oriented with respect to the host Al2O3 matrix, exhibiting multiple distinct orientations. Rutherford backscattering and X-ray diffraction have been used to study the influence of the processing conditions, including temperature and dose, on the formation of the alloys. The degree of chemical ordering in the L10 and L12 phases is not high and it is not improved significantly with long annealing times. Magnetization studies have been conducted using a SQUID magnetometer. Coercivities as high as 14.2 kOe (9.7 kOe) at 5 K with the field normal (parallel) to the surface have been measured, and they remain significant at room temperature and above. The coercivity is a function of the Pt fraction in the alloy.

Specifically, Mn(dca)2(pyz) {dca = dicyanamide, [N(CN)2]−; pyz = pyrazine} has a unique interpenetrating ReO3-like lattice. The Mn2+ cations are high-spin (S=5/2) and the material orders antiferromagnetically below TN = 2.53(2) K. Using neutron powder diffraction we observed a collinear spin structure oriented along the short ac-diagonal of the monoclinic unit cell. Inelastic neutron scattering results show a magnetic excitation at 0.23 meV. The strong dispersion character of this excitation demonstrates that it is related to a low-energy spin wave. Upon warming, the magnon gradually softens and disappears at TN, while critical scattering becomes evident by a broad quasielastic response above TN. The energy of the magnon is consistent with the exchange parameter, J, derived from magnetic susceptibility measurements.

The deterioration of membrane performance in the presence of fermentation broth was observed. The fouled membrane was characterized by gas permeation and density measurements, and sorption of pure components of the fermentation broth in PTMSP was studied to clarify the fouling mechanism. It was concluded that properties of the membrane deteriorate due to internal contamination of the PTMSP free volume with non-volatile by-products of the fermentation. The PTMSP film did not show appreciable deterioration of membrane properties in the pervaporation of aqueous solution of organic compounds with high volatility.

The ν2 and ν4 levels are coupled by a Coriolis interaction, yielding significant spectral shifts that have been successfully analyzed to obtain rovibrational constants for the ground state and both fundamentals. Comparisons are made with 32S16O3 parameters and the B0 rotational constant is found to be 0.348 556 03(28) cm−1, only very slightly larger than the corresponding value of 0.348 543 33(5) cm−1 for 32S16O3. Coriolis and l-type resonance interactions between the ν2 and ν4 levels produce frequency shifts and strong intensity perturbations in the spectra that are considered for both 34S16O3 and 32S16O3. The resulting analysis yields an average value of ±0.62(8) for the dipole derivative ratio (∂μx/∂Q4x)/(∂μz/∂Q2) and a positive sign for the product of this ratio with the ζy2,4 Coriolis constant, for which experiment gives ±0.5940(15). Ab initio calculations indicate that the signs of ∂μx/∂Q4x and ∂μz/∂Q2 are both positive and hence ζy2,4 is also positive, in agreement with earlier calculations. These signs indicate that the effective charge movement in the xz plane has the same sense of rotation as Q2,Q4x atom motion in this plane that produces a py vibrational angular momentum component, correlated motion that is confirmed by ab initio calculations.

T1 - Analysis of the ν2, ν4 infrared hot bands and ν1 CARS spectrum of 34S16O3 JO - Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy JF - Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 218 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 204 SN - 00222852 AB - High-resolution (0.0015 cm−1) infrared spectroscopy has been used to study the 34S16O3 IR-active hot bands originating from the ν2 and ν4 bending mode levels and terminating in the states 2ν2 (l=0), ν2+ν4 (l=±1), and 2ν4 (l=0,±2). The upper states are strongly coupled via Fermi resonance and indirect Coriolis interactions to the ν1 symmetric stretching mode levels that are only directly accessible from the ground state via a Raman-active transition. A Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectrum of ν1 for 34S16O3 is presented which is dramatically different from the corresponding one for 32S16O3. From the infrared transitions, accurate rovibrational constants are deduced for all the mixed states, leading to deperturbed values for ν1, α1B, and α1C of 1064.920(84), 0.000 834 5(54), and 0.000 410 (11) cm−1, respectively. The uncertainties in the last digits are shown in parentheses and represent two standard deviations. These parameters reproduce the unresolved Q-branch contour of the CARS spectrum very well. Various other rotational and vibrational parameters have been determined, leading to values of Be=0.349 760 6(33) cm−1 and re=141.734 70(68) pm, values that are identical (within experimental error) to those found for 32S16O3.

The characterization revealed that the microstructure is dominated by a very high density of small Frank loops present in sizes as small as 1 nm and perhaps lower, which could be of both vacancy and interstitial-type. Frank loop density saturated at the lowest doses characterized, whereas the Frank loop size distributions changed with increasing dose from an initially narrow, symmetric shape to a broader, asymmetric shape. Although substantial hardening is caused by the small defects, a simple correlation between hardness changes and density and size of defects does not exist. These results indicate that radiation-induced segregation to the Frank loops could play a role in both defect evolution and hardening response.

The temperature and dose at the 1-mm bolt head position were 593 K and 19.5 dpa respectively, whereas at two shank positions the temperature and dose was 616 K and 12.2 dpa at the 25-mm position and 606 K and 7.5 dpa at the 55-mm position. Microstructural characterization revealed that small faulted dislocation loops and cavities were visible at each position, but the cavities were most prominent at the two shank positions. Measurable swelling exists in the shank portions of this particular bolt, and accompanying this swelling is the retention of very high levels of hydrogen absorbed from the environment. The observation of cavities in the CW 316SS at temperatures and doses relevant to LWR conditions has important implications for pressurized water reactors since SA 304SS plates surround the bolts, a steel that usually swells earlier due to its lower incubation period for swelling.

Management, storage, efficient access, and analysis of this data present an extremely challenging task. Traditionally, two different solutions have been used for this task: file I/O or databases. File I/O can provide high performance but is tedious to use with large numbers of files and large and complex data sets. Databases can be convenient, flexible, and powerful but do not perform and scale well for parallel supercomputing applications. We have developed a software system, called Scientific Data Manager (SDM), that combines the good features of both file I/O and databases. SDM provides a high-level application programming interface to the user and, internally, uses a parallel file system to store real data (using various I/O optimizations available in MPI-IO) and a database to store application-related metadata. In order to support I/O in irregular applications, SDM makes extensive use of MPI-IO''s noncontiguous collective I/O functions. Moreover, SDM uses the concept of a history file to optimize the cost of the index distribution using the metadata stored in database. We describe the design and implementation of SDM and present performance results with two regular applications, ASTRO3D and an Euler solver, and with two irregular applications, a CFD code called FUN3D and a Rayleigh–Taylor instability code.

A. J. Phys. Chem. B 2001, 105, 7602). Further investigation of this phenomenon reveals that a major effect of UV illumination is to reversibly create a high concentration of photoactive surface states continuously distributed below the conduction bandedge in the nanoporous TiO2 films. The ability to create, and then eliminate, surface states allows, for the first time, a clear assessment of the influence of these states on the dye-sensitization process. Positive conduction bandedge (mobility edge) shifts apparently also result from UV illumination, and the difficulties in quantifying such shifts in functioning cells are discussed. We conclude that the major cause of the increased efficiency is the photoproduction of surface states that may improve photoinjection and carrier transport while possibly slowing the recombination rate. The creation of these surface states is strongly inhibited by the presence in the electrolyte solution of the Li+ ion, which is known to specifically adsorb to TiO2 surfaces. We present an in-depth characterization of the UV-induced changes in the dye-sensitized solar cell through comparisons of otherwise identical cells in LiI-containing solution and in tetrabutylammonium iodide-containing solution, before and after UV illumination. The “UV effect” is also observed in hydroquinone/benzoquinone solution; thus, it is not dependent on the presence of the I-/I2 redox couple. Although surface states are usually deleterious for planar semiconductor electrodes, we show that a high density of surface states may be beneficial for the photoconversion process in nanoporous solar cells.

The proposed approach is a logical development of the statistical ones originally suggested for a single-layer broken clouds. This first part introduces a new statistically inhomogeneous Markovian model that allows one to properly account for different combinations of the random and maximum overlap of broken clouds at distinct vertical layers. The statistically inhomogeneous Markovian model and the stochastic radiative transfer equation have been used to derive equations for the mean radiance of solar radiation. It was demonstrated that in extreme cases the obtained equations agree with corresponding equations previously derived for (i) the statistically homogeneous broken clouds and (ii) the vertically inhomogeneous overcast clouds.

In our analysis we used the three-dimensional (3D) cloud fields provided by (i) the stochastic Boolean model, (ii) large-eddy simulation model and (iii) satellite cloud retrieval. The accuracy of the obtained equations was evaluated by comparing the ensemble-averaged radiative properties that were obtained by the numerical averaging method (reference) and the analytical averaging method (approximation). The robustness of these equations was estimated by comparing the domain-averaged radiative properties obtained by using (i) the full 3D cloud structure (reference) and (ii) the bulk cloud statistics (approximation). It was shown that the approximated equations could provide reasonable accuracy (∼15%) for both the ensemble- and domain-averaged radiative properties.

Equilibrium was reached in <6 days. From the H+, Nd, and P concentrations in equilibrated solutions, the logarithm of the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for the reaction (NdPO4(c) &2lrarr; Nd3++PO43-) was calculated to be -24.65±0.23 and the value of the Pitzer ion-interaction parameter β(2) for Nd3+-H2PO4- was determined to be -92.9. Predictions based on these thermodynamic quantities were in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

In these compounds the fluoride and oxide ions are ordered onto two distinct crystallographic sites. There is also an ordering of the alkaline earth cations over two crystallographic sites upon substitution of Ba2+ or Ca2+ for Sr2+. The solid solubility limits extend to x∼1 for substitution of both barium and calcium, but the larger Ba2+ cations show a strong site preference for the ten-coordinate strontium sites, while the smaller Ca2+ cations prefer the eight-coordinate strontium sites.

Despite the widespread use of flash-cooling to place macromolecular crystals in the cryogenic state, its use can ruin crystals, trips to the synchrotron, and sometimes even an entire project. Annealing of macromolecular crystals takes little time, requires no specialized equipment, and can save crystallographic projects that might otherwise end in failure. Annealing should be tried whenever initial flash-cooling causes an unacceptable increase in mosaicity, results in ice rings, fails to provide adequate diffraction quality, or causes a crystal to be positioned awkwardly. Overall, annealing improves the quality of data and overall success rate at synchrotron beam lines. Its use should be considered whenever problems arise with a flash-cooled crystal. Helium is a more efficient cryogen than nitrogen and will deliver lower temperatures. Experiments suggest that when crystals are cooled with He rather than N2, crystals maintain order and high-resolution data are less affected by increased radiation load. Individually or in combination, these two techniques can enhance the success of crystallographic data collection, and their use should be considered essential for high-throughput programs.

Although data are still sparse and a comprehensive analysis cannot be performed at this stage, preliminary results appear to validate the random-screening concept. A discussion of statistical crystallization data analysis aims to draw attention to the need for comprehensive and valid sampling protocols. In view of limited overlap in techniques and sampling parameters between the publicly funded high-throughput crystallography initiatives, exchange of information should be encouraged, aiming to effectively integrate data mining efforts into a comprehensive predictive framework for protein crystallization.

This methodology allows one to address the separation of a wide range of polar molecules greatly extending the type of molecules that can be separated using only pure supercritical fluids. The solutes to be separated are initially dissolved in the reverse micellar solution and introduce into the pressure vessel containing the membrane. The surfactant and water core are passed through the membrane while the macromolecule selectivity is based on size and molecular weight. The ability for continuous recycle in an extraction system is discussed.

This precision is close to the limiting value predicted by counting statistics (1.16%). Spectral interference on 13C+, presumably from 12C1H+, comes from the incomplete dissociation of myoglobin and/or β-cyclodextrin, but not tryptophan. Decreasing the aerosol gas flow rate slightly from that which yields maximum signal eliminates this 12C1H+ interference. The count rate of the minor isotope (13C+) can be artificially enhanced by increasing the voltage of the 13C+ detector, and/or by shifting the ion beam splitter offset from the central axis. Instrumental modifications to the MS that improve the sensitivity are also described.

We have reacted DFC with [Arg8]-vasopressin (which has one disulfide bond) and bovine insulin (which has three disulfide bonds) and analyzed the reaction products by use of electron capture dissociation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ECD FT-ICR MS), which has previously shown preferential cleavage of disulfide bonds. We observe cleavage of DFC from vasopressin and insulin during ECD, suggesting that DFC is indeed bound to peptides and proteins through disulfide bonds. Specifically, we observed dissociative loss of one, as well as two, DFC species during ECD of [vasopressin + 2(DFC-H) + 2H]2+ from a single electron capture event. Loss of two DFCs could arise from either consecutive or simultaneous loss, but in any case implies a gas phase disulfide exchange step. ECD of [insulin + DFC + 4H]4+ shows preferential dissociative loss of DFC. Combined with HPLC, ECD FT-ICR-MS may be an efficient screening method for detection of drug-biomolecule binding.

We find that the equilibrated zone is circular, in agreement with continuum mechanics predictions of the elastic-perfectly plastic Mode III crack. The size of the equilibrated zone scales as the square of the applied load (KIII), also in agreement with the continuum results. The zone approaches saturation exponentially, with a time that scales as KIII2/σp3, where σp is the Peierls stress. These results delineate conditions under which the classical, continuum predictions of elastic–plastic fracture mechanics are applicable.

Until recently, astronomers associated with FIRST identified radio-emitting galaxies with a bent-double morphology through a visual inspection of images. Besides being subjective, prone to error and tedious, this manual approach is becoming increasingly infeasible: upon completion, FIRST will include almost a million galaxies. This paper describes the application of six methods of evolving neural networks (NNs) with genetic algorithms (GAs) to the identification of bent-double galaxies. The objective is to demonstrate that GAs can successfully address some common problems in the application of NNs to classification problems, such as training the networks, choosing appropriate network topologies, and selecting relevant features. We measured the overall accuracy of the networks using the arithmetic and geometric means of the accuracies on bent and non-bent galaxies. Most of the combinations of GAs and NNs perform equally well on our data, but using GAs to select feature subsets produces the best results, reaching accuracies of 90% using the arithmetic mean and 87% with the geometric mean. The networks found by the GAs were more accurate than hand-designed networks and decision trees.

Protons and deuterons are continuously polarized by microwave-induced spin–flip transitions at 1 K and 5 T. The target operated successfully during two cycles in 1998 and 2000, providing proton and deuteron polarizations as high as 96% and 46%, respectively. The unique features of the target which permit its use inside a spectrometer are stressed. Comparison is made between the target polarization measured by the traditional method of NMR and by electron elastic scattering.

A radium assay technique of the required sensitivity is described that uses hydrous titanium oxide adsorbent on a filtration membrane together with a β−α delayed coincidence counting system. For a 200 tonne assay the detection limit for 232Th is a concentration of ∼3×10−16 g Th/g water and for 238U of ∼3×10−16 g U/g water. Results of assays of both the heavy and light water carried out during the first 2 years of data collection of SNO are presented.

A water volume of 50–400 m3 from the detector is passed through columns which contain beads coated with a compound of manganese oxide onto which the Ra dissolved in the water is adsorbed. The columns are removed, dried, and mounted below an electrostatic chamber into which the Rn from the decay of trapped Ra is continuously flowed by a stream of N2 gas. The subsequent decay of Rn gives charged Po ions which are swept by the electric field onto a solid-state α counter. The content of Ra in the water is inferred from the measured decay rates of 212Po, 214Po, 216Po, and 218Po. The Ra extraction efficiency is >95%, the counting efficiency is 24% for 214Po and 6% for 216Po, and the method can detect a few atoms of 224Ra per m3 and a few tens of thousands of atoms of 226Ra per m3. Converted to equivalent equilibrium values of the topmost elements of the natural radioactive chains, the detection limit in a single assay is a few times 10−16 g Th or U/cm3. The results of some typical assays are presented and the contributions to the systematic error are discussed.

The system combines high-resolution electron and gamma-ray spectrometry with coincidence/anti-coincidence timing for signal selectivity and background rejection. By utilizing X-ray-fluorescence gating, backgrounds from other sources are expected to be reduced to the sub-becquerel level. Coincidence and anti-coincidence triggers are formed from the several individual detectors that comprise the system and used to identify K-shell conversion electrons and fluorescence X-rays from a 109Cd test source with good efficiencies and energy resolutions (20 keV for the low-energy electrons, ∼1.2 keV for the fluorescence X-rays, respectively).

The term Invar is widely used to characterize the unusual physical properties accompanying structural and magnetic instabilities such as those observed in the vicinity of the critical composition Fe 65 Ni 35 . We discuss the crossover from bulk iron-nickel alloys to nanoparticles with respect to structural and magnetic behavior. By employing molecular-dynamics and Monte Carlo methods, we find the absence of structural instabilities in defect-free particles, a linear scaling of the austenitic transformation temperature with the reciprocal cluster radius, as well as a decrease of the magnetic transition temperature with decreasing particle size.

An ideal model material for the study of the interphase interactions in exchange-spring systems is the CoPt system in thin-film form. Depending on the details of post-deposition annealing treatment, CoPt consists of two phases in varying proportions: the chemically disordered A1 phase with low coercivity and the chemically ordered L10 phase with high coercivity. Coupled magnetic and transmission electron microscopy studies reveal simple relationships between the volume percent of ordered L10 phase, coercivity and the magnetic exchange within the samples.

The original mission was an orbital power supply for the United State''s (U.S.) Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) of the 1980s. Although the original sponsors were a consortium of the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), as the SDI effort diminished with the demise of the Soviet Union the mission evolved more toward the needs of NASA. Eventually, as the grandiose missions of NASA came into question in the early 1990s and less extravagant missions became more palatable, the SP100 program was discontinued. At the time of program discontinuation a complex infrastructure of industry and national laboratories had been established, and approximately $1-billion invested in design and development. The SP100 was not intended as a low cost one-time-use device; but rather, a highly flexible power supply that realized a cost advantage by being capable of multiple missions, based on a common design with the flexibility to evolve. The design and development team made major progress successfully fabricating and testing technology features that were essential to meeting the stringent safety, performance, lifetime and reliability requirements of proposed missions. The following paper attempts to describe the high level of sophistication incorporated in the SP100 design, and the high degree of technology readiness at the time of program discontinuation.

The induced formation of hypochlorous acid is determined up to doses of 11 kGy in 3.7 M MgCl2·6H2O and in a multicomponent brine of high concentration: Brine G. The build-up of hypochlorous acid to a steady-state concentration is found to be independent on the chloride concentration. The ultimate objective of this experiment is the estimation of the G value for HOCl in which meaningful predictions of long-term redox conditions in a nuclear repository strongly depend on. This paper describes our first steps towards the determination of HOCl.

Given such high-dimensional data for different types of samples, classification methods aim to assign specimens to known categories. Relevant feature identification methods seek to define a subset of molecules that differentiate the samples. This work describes LIKNON, a specific implementation of a statistical approach for creating a classifier and identifying a small number of relevant features simultaneously. Given two-class data, LIKNON estimates a sparse linear classifier by exploiting the simple and well-known property that minimising an L1 norm (via linear programming) yields a sparse hyperplane. It performs well when used for retrospective analysis of three cancer biology profiling data sets, (i) small, round, blue cell tumour transcript profiles from tumour biopsies and cell lines, (ii) sporadic breast carcinoma transcript profiles from patients with distant metastases <5 years and those with no distant metastases ⩾5 years and (iii) serum sample protein profiles from unaffected and ovarian cancer patients. Computationally, LIKNON is less demanding than the prevailing filter-wrapper strategy; this approach generates many feature subsets and equates relevant features with the subset yielding a classifier with the lowest generalisation error. Biologically, the results suggest a role for the cellular microenvironment in influencing disease outcome and its importance in developing clinical decision support systems.

SN - 00380938 AB - Small-scale magnetic elements in the quiet photospheric network are believed to play a key role in the energy flow from the solar surface to upper layers of atmosphere. Their intense hydro-magnetic activity includes merging and fragmentation of same polarity fluxes, `total' or partial cancellation of neighboring flux elements of opposite polarity, dynamic appearance and disappearance of compact bipoles, etc. We study the general features of these processes, and show that non-collinearity of flux tubes, sharp stratification of low atmosphere and finite plasma beta lead to several specific effects in the interacting flux tubes that may explain the morphological properties of network magnetic field and also provide a mechanism for the energy build up and release in the nearby chromosphere and transition region. We show that during the collision of flux tubes in the photosphere reconnection occurs regardless of whether the flux tubes are of opposite or of the same polarity. But the dynamics of reconnection products are significantly different and lead to different macroscopic effects that can be observed.

The model of van der Marel and Munzar, where the peak is the result of a transverse plasmon arising from a low frequency conductivity mode between the closely spaced planes, fits our data well. Within the model we find that the temperature dependence of the peak amplitude is controlled by in-plane scattering processes. The temperature range where the mode can be seen coincides with Ts, the spin gap temperature, which is lower than T*, the pseudogap temperature. As a function of temperature, the amplitude of the mode tracks the amplitude of the 41 meV neutron resonance and the spin lattice relaxation time, suggesting to us that the mode is controlled by magnetic processes and not by superconducting fluctuations which have temperature scale much closer to Tc, the superconducting transition temperature.

This solid solution was investigated by X-ray diffraction employing powder- as well as single crystal methods. Structure refinements at several different compositions within the phase revealed strongly preferred site occupation by Nb at the three crystallographically independent metal sites of the Sm5Ge4-type structure yielding an almost stepwise substitution mechanism of the two transition metals. Chemical bonding and site occupation are discussed on the basis of extended Hu¨ckel calculations performed on Hf5Ge4, and site volumes (Dirichlet domains) as well as atomic orbital occupations (site potentials) are correlated with the observed substitution mechanism. A thermodynamic model based on the compound energy formalism was developed in order to link the observed substitution mechanism to thermodynamic properties (Gibbs energies) of the different sublattices formed by the crystallographically independent sites.

We report a crystal structure of the functional fragment of human syntenin containing two canonical PDZ domains, as well as binding studies for full-length syntenin, the PDZ tandem, and isolated PDZ domains. We show that the functional properties of syntenin are a result of independent interactions with target peptides, and that each domain is able to bind peptides belonging to two different classes: PDZ1 binds peptides from classes I and III, while PDZ2 interacts with classes I and II. The independent binding of merlin by PDZ1 and syndecan-4 by PDZ2 provides direct evidence for the coupling of syndecan-mediated signaling to actin regulation by merlin.

A carrier gas of acetylene was used and the flow rate through the precursor reservoir was varied so the titanium concentration in the deposited coatings could be controlled. Deposited coatings had thickness in the range of 600–1000 nm as determined by surface profilometry. Titanium concentrations in the coatings ranged from 0.4 to approximately 11 at.%. Acetylene flow through the reservoir reached a peak efficiency of titanium throughput at 20 sccm, declining in efficiency as flow was increased to 40 sccm. Hardness values of these coatings ranged from approximately 8–17 GPa, as determined by nanoindentation, decreasing with increasing titanium content. Coefficient of friction values ranged from 0.23 to 0.18, and were lowest for coatings with high titanium content. The coefficient of friction followed the model for adhesive friction. Wear resistance was best for coatings with low titanium content as determined by pin-on-disk methods.

XSW measurements were performed for the Si(0 0 4) and Si(0 2 2) Bragg reflections for Ge coverages from 1 to 10 monolayers. The measured Ge coherent positions agree with the calculated Ge positions for a tetragonally distorted Ge lattice formed on Si(0 0 1) using continuum elasticity theory. However, the measured Ge coherent fractions are smaller than expected. The quality of the Si cap layer and its registry with the underlying Si(0 0 1) substrate lattice was also determined by combining the XSW technique with evanescent-wave emission.

We have used low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study the cleaved (1 0 0) surface of the Mo-doped strontium ruthenate: Sr2Ru0.9Mo0.1O4. Excellent LEED patterns indicate a well-ordered surface similar to Sr2RuO4. The analysis of LEED-I(V) spectra revealed that the (Ru/Mo)O6 octahedra at the surface are rotated alternating clockwise and counterclockwise by 8.8° ± 2.5° about the direction of the surface normal, which is identical to these on the surface of Sr2RuO4. But the high-resolution STM images of Sr2Ru0.9Mo0.1O4 show a surface fundamentally different from that of Sr2RuO4. The STM images are surprisingly inhomogeneous without clear atomic resolution. This indicates a local spatial roughness in the electronic structure induced by the Mo doping.

An incommensurate reconstructed structure, having FeAl2 stoichiometry confined to the outmost layer, is observed on the clean surface due to preferential Al segregation upon annealing to 1125 K. When the reconstructed clean surface is exposed to oxygen at elevated temperatures, an ordered ultra-thin aluminum oxide film is formed. Based on STM data, a structural model of the oxide film is proposed, which exhibits a quasi-hexagonal oxygen layer and accommodates an even mix of octahedral and tetrahedral occupancy of Al ions arranged in an alternating zigzag–stripe structure. STM imaging with tunnel voltages in the range of the bulk band gap implies that the thin film oxide electronic structure differs substantially from the bulk oxide, and indicates a local density of states around the oxide constituents within the bulk band gap.

To know the net effect on greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, however, we consider associated changes in CO2 emissions resulting from the consumption of fossil fuels, emissions of other greenhouse gases and effects on land productivity and crop yield. We also consider how these factors will evolve over time. A change from conventional tillage to no-till agriculture, based on data for average practice in the U.S., will result in net carbon sequestration in the soil that averages 337 kg C ha-1 yr-1 for the initial 20 yr with a decline to near zero in the following 20 yr, and continuing savings in CO2 emissions because of reduced use of fossil fuels. The long-term results, considering all factors, can generally be expected to show decreased net greenhouse gas emissions. The quantitative details, however, depend on the site-specific impact of the conversion from conventional to no-till agriculture on agricultural yield and N2 O emissions from nitrogen fertilizer.

The third shock (March, 4, Ms ≈ 6.4) ruptured the Kaparelli fault. About 40 cm of a limestone fault scarp was exhumed by the earthquake. Each major prehistoric earthquake has added new surface to this cumulative scarp exposing fresh material to cosmic-ray bombardment. Using 36 Cl cosmic ray exposure dating we have obtained the continuous exposure history for this 4–5-m-high limestone surface at two sites about 50 m apart. The results suggest that the Kaparelli fault has ruptured three times prior to 1981 at 20 ± 3 ka, 14.5 ± 0.5 ka and 10.5 ± 0.5 ka with slip amplitudes between 0.6 m and 2.1 m. The Kaparelli fault appears to have been inactive for 10 thousand years prior to the 1981 event.

A new efficient semianalytical method is proposed in this paper that simulates the flow processes of infiltration events subject to vigorous boiling from the adjacent hot rock. It is assumed that liquid flow forms in localized preferential flow paths and that infiltration events are typically short in duration but large in magnitude relative to the average net infiltration. The new solution scheme is applied to several test cases studying sensitivity to a variety of input parameters. Sample simulations are performed for conditions representative of the potential nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. A characteristic parameter is introduced that provides a quick estimate of the relative significance of boiling at a given location of interest.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Accurately determining well capture zones is of great importance in aquifer cleanup and for the protection of drinking water. Earlier models in delineating capture zones assumed the medium to be homogeneous. Recently, stochastic approaches have been applied to studying capture zones in heterogeneous media. The Monte Carlo method is commonly used to infer the probability distribution of the resulting capture zones from multiple realizations of the aquifer of interest. In this study, we present a moment-equation-based approach to derive the time-dependent mean capture zones and their associated uncertainties. The flow statistics are obtained by solving the first two moments of flow, and the mean capture zones are determined by reversely tracking the nonreactive particles released at a small circle around each pumping well. The uncertainty associated with the mean capture zones is calculated based on the particle displacement covariance X ij for nonstationary flow fields. For comparison purposes, we also conducted Monte Carlo simulations. It has been found that our model results are in excellent agreement with Monte Carlo results.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - This paper presents a novel approach to the representation of pore-scale exclusion processes, based on the truncation of the distribution of local dispersive displacements in a random-walk particle model. This approach increases the mean velocity of colloidal-sized particles relative to inert solute tracers, and decreases the apparent dispersion. An equivalent continuum model, with modified velocity and dispersion parameters, is also derived. Both the particle and the equivalent continuum models are applied to the results of laboratory experiments on bacterial transport in intact cores from a research site near Oyster, Virginia. The particle-based model requires only modest truncation (8% maximum) of the particle velocity distribution function to closely reproduce the significant observed decrease in bacterial arrival times relative to a bromide tracer. The approach provides a conceptually appealing and consistent means of incorporating the exclusion process into groundwater transport models.

JO - Wind Energy JF - Wind Energy Y1 - 2003/04//Apr-Jun2003 VL - 6 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 105 EP - 117 SN - 10954244 AB - The prospect of installing blades that twist as they bend and/or extend on horizontal axis wind turbines provides opportunities for enhanced energy capture and/or load mitigation. Although this coupling could be achieved in either an active or a passive manner, the passive approach is much more attractive owing to its simplicity and economy. As an example, a blade design might employ coupling between bending and twisting, so that as the blade bends owing to the action of the aerodynamic loads, it also twists, modifying the aerodynamic performance in some way. For reducing loads the blades are designed to twist towards feather as they bend. For variable-speed pitch-controlled rotors, dynamic computer simulations with turbulent inflow show that twist coupling substantially decreases fatigue damage over all wind speeds, without reducing average power. Maximum loads also decrease modestly. For constant-speed stall-controlled and variable-speed stall-controlled rotors, significant decreases in fatigue damage are observed at the lower wind speeds and smaller decreases at the higher wind speeds. Maximum loads also decrease slightly. As a general observation, whenever a rotor is operating in the linear aerodynamic range (lower wind speeds for stall control and all wind speeds for pitch control), substantial reductions in fatigue damage are realized.

Some of the earliest DC electric wind turbines were allowed to run at variable speed. With the advent of grid-connected AC turbines, rotational speeds were limited in order to control the wind turbine AC frequency output to equal the grid frequency. With the advent of semiconductor devices, attempts began as early as the 1970s to allow variable-speed operation of large-scale turbines. The introduction of a new generation of high-voltage, high-speed power electronic components allows a wide range of variable-speed operation for very-large-scale machines. Over the past 30 years a number of designs have been tested, a few of which have entered commercial operation. A number of these designs and their histories are described. A detailed description of a wide range of electrical methods for allowing variable-speed operation is provided. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Two kinds of universal behavior are observed in charged particle production in heavy ion collisions. The first is that forward particle production, over a range of energies, follows a universal limiting curve with a non-trivial centrality dependence. The second arises from comparisons with pp/pp and e+e− data. 〈Nch〉/〈Npart/2〉 in nuclear collisions at high energy scales with √s in a similar way as Nch in e+e− collisions and has a very weak centrality dependence. This feature may be related to a reduction in the leading particle effect due to the multiple collisions suffered per participant in heavy ion collisions.

We have used an isobar model specifically developed for the analysis of the Nππ channel. This approach relates baryon resonance parameters to the experimental cross section, allowing the extraction of electromagnetic and some strong couplings from the fit to the data. A remarkable feature of the CLAS data is a resonance structure around 1.7 GeV which has not been seen in double pion photoproduction. The structure appears at all Q2 values from 0.5 to 1.5 GeV2 and it can not be reproduced with conventional N* parameters.

In this work, the corresponding coefficient is determined in three different frameworks, namely, in the color dipole approach, in the approach of Baier et al. and in the higher twist factorization formalism. This result enables one to use a parametrization of the dipole cross section to estimate the values of the gluon transport coefficient and of the higher twist matrix element, which is relevant for nuclear broadening. A considerable energy dependence of these quantities is found. In addition, numerical calculations are compared to data for nuclear broadening of Drell–Yan dileptons, J/ψ and ϒ mesons. The scale dependence of the strong coupling constant leads to measurable differences between the higher twist approach and the other two formalisms.

These bonding schemes eliminate the use of d-orbitals for the bonding description of the main group hypervalent species as required in the conventional sp3d- and sp3d2-hybridizations. The 3c-4e bonding schemes presented here are consistent with high-level ab initio calculations which show d-orbital participation in main group hypervalent molecules is insignificant, and are thus more correct than the sp3d- and sp3d2-hybridization schemes. An important conclusion based on the 3c-4e bonding schemes is that the central atom in these molecules, while seemingly in violation of the octet rule according to the electron-dot formula, actually fulfills the octet shell. The fulfillment of the octet electron shell for the central atom is achieved by discounting the non-bonding electrons which are localized at the ligands, and is interpreted as a factor in the stability of these closed-shell hypervalent molecules. To physically withhold the non-bonding electrons from being shared with the central atom, the electronegativity of the ligands must be significantly greater than that of the central atom. This minimizes the repulsive interactions between the non-bonding electron lobes and other bonded electron pairs. This conclusion is in accord with the experimental observation that nearly all stable main group hypervalent molecules have a central atom more electropositive than its ligands.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/04/08/ VL - 107 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 3284 EP - 3289 SN - 15206106 AB - Peptides containing the chromophore, benzophenone (as the amino acid, 4-benzoyl-phenylalanine (Bpa)), have been synthesized to explore the feasibility of gas-phase photochemical cross-linking to investigate the conformations of unsolvated peptides. The main product of UV irradiation of a BP-containing peptide is CO2 loss from the peptide C terminus. To test whether decarboxylation results from hydrogen abstraction from acidic residues, we synthesized peptides designed to limit the contact between the Bpa and the peptide C terminus. Such contact is necessary for hydrogen abstraction. The peptide, Ac-Bpa-Ala10-Lys, forms an extended &agr;-helix in the gas phase, thus preventing the N-terminal Bpa from approaching the C terminus.1 In contrast, Ac-Bpa-Gly10-Lys is a flexible peptide that can adopt multiple “random globule” conformations in the gas phase, some of which could allow contact between the termini and thus photoinduced reaction. On simultaneous UV irradiation of a mixture of both electrosprayed gas-phase peptides in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance ion trap, the degree of decarboxylation is 50-fold less for the &agr;-helical alanine-based peptide than for the flexible glycine-based peptide. The results suggest that intimate contact between the photoexcited Bpa and the C terminus is necessary for decarboxylation, implicating hydrogen atom abstraction as the photochemical mechanism. These results establish the feasibility of probing gas-phase peptide/protein ion conformations by photochemistry of photoaffinity-labeled ions.

According to the computed potential energy surfaces, both ⌊4+2⌋ and ⌊2+2⌋ cycloaddition products resulting from the reactions of surface dimers are possible due to the negligible activation barriers at the surface. Isomerization reactions among the surface products are very unlikely due to the predicted large activation barriers preventing thermal redistributions of the surface products. As a result, the distribution of the final surface products is kinetically controlled leading to a reinterpretation of recent experiments. An intermediate Lewis acid-base type complex appears in both the ⌊4+2⌋ and ⌊2+2⌋ cycloadditions of acrylonitrile entrance channels, indicating that the surface may act as an electrophile/Lewis acid towards a strong Lewis base substrate.

In these experiments, multiple (10–100) strands of DNA with tetramethyl rhodamine labeled dUMP (TMR-dUMP) incorporated into the sequence were anchored in flow upstream of the detection region of an ultra sensitive flow cytometer. A dilute solution of Exonuclease I passed over the microspheres. When an exonuclease attached to a strand, processive digestion of that strand began. The liberated, labeled bases flowed through the detection region and were detected at high efficiency at the single-molecule level by laser-induced fluorescence. The digestion of a single strand of DNA by a single exonuclease was discernable in these experiments. This result demonstrates the feasibility of single-molecule DNA sequencing. In addition, these experiments point to a new and practical means of arriving at a consensus sequence by individually reading out identical sequences on multiple fragments.

They increase the resistance of the circuits and may even lead to a fatal failure. Voids may occur inside a single grain, but often they appear on the boundary between two grains. In this work, we model and analyze numerically the migration and evolution of an intergranular void subjected to surface diffusion forces and external voltage applied to the interconnect. The grain–void interface is considered one-dimensional, and the physical formulation of the electromigration and diffusion model results in two coupled fourth-order one-dimensional time-dependent PDEs. The boundary conditions are specified at the triple points, which are common to both neighboring grains and the void. The solution of these equations uses a finite difference scheme in space and a Runge–Kutta integration scheme in time, and is also coupled to the solution of a static Laplace equation describing the voltage distribution throughout the grain. Since the voltage distribution is required only along the interface line, the two-dimensional discretization of the grain interior is not needed, and the static problem is solved by the boundary element method at each time step. The motion of the intergranular void was studied for different ratios between the diffusion and the electric field forces, and for different initial configurations of the void.

The cathode characteristics were then examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and studied by ac impedance spectroscopy (IS). Conditioning effects of the LSM-YSZ cathodes were seen, and remedies for these effects were proposed for improving the performance of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). LSM surface contamination and modification, cathode bonding to the YSZ electrolyte, changing Pt electrode and bonding paste, and curvature of sintered YSZ electrolytes led to some changes in microstructure and variability in cell performances. Much of the variability could be eliminated by using only one batch of Pt paste, using flat and sanded YSZ plates as well as consistent processing procedures. Reproducible impedance spectra were obtained by using the improved cell configurations. Typical IS spectra measured for an (air) LSM-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ (air) cell at 900 °C showed two depressed arcs. The impedance characteristics of the LSM-YSZ cathodes were also affected by experimental conditions such as surface modification of the LSM by Ni or Sr, cathode compositions and applied current.

We have tested several stainless steels in simulated PEMFC environments for application as bipolar plates. The results showed that the chromium content in the steel alloys has an important influence on the anodic behavior. The interfacial contact resistance of the carbon paper/stainless steel interface has been evaluated. Both tests show that 349™ is the best candidate for this application. When 349™ stainless steel was polarized in simulated PEMFC environments, it was found that stable passive films formed within 30 min. The interfacial contact resistance between the carbon paper and stainless steel increased due to the formation of the passive film. However, as soon as a stable passive film is formed, the interfacial contact resistance stabilized.

Most of the hadrons produced lie between 2 and 10 GeV, a region in which it had not previously been feasible to separate pions, kaons, and protons with standard particle identification (PID) techniques. The recent development of new clear, large, homogeneous and hydrophobic silica aerogel material with a low index of refraction offered the means to apply RICH PID techniques to this difficult momentum region. The HERMES instrument uses two radiators, C4F10, a heavy fluorocarbon gas, and a wall of silica aerogel tiles. A lightweight spherical mirror constructed using a newly perfected technique to make resin-coated carbon-fiber surfaces of optical quality provides optical focusing on a photon detector consisting of 1934 photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for each detector half. The PMT array is held in a soft steel matrix to provide shielding against the residual field of the main spectrometer magnet. Ring reconstruction is accomplished with pattern recognition techniques based on a combination of inverse and direct ray tracing.

The HBD will allow the measurement of low-mass e+e− pairs from the decay of the light vector mesons ρ,ω,φ and the low-mass continuum- in Au–Au collisions at √ of sNN=200 GeV. From general considerations, the HBD has to identify electrons with a high efficiency (>90%) and with a double hit resolution better than 90%, it must have a pion rejection factor of at least 200 and a radiation budget of the order of 1% of a radiation length. The choice that emerges is a windowless Cherenkov detector, operated with a CF4 based gas mixture in a special proximity focus configuration with a CsI cathode evaporated on GEMs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A is the property of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The quasi-chemical approach is then applied to then the deprotonation of Be(H2O)42+ to give BeOH(H2O)3+. The calculated pKa of 3.8 is in good agreement with the experimentally suggested value around 3.5. The calculated energetics for the formation of [Be·OH·Be]3+ are then obtained in fair agreement with experiments.

The method is based on: (1) the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of silver(I) from a water sample onto a disk impregnated with a silver-selective colorimetric reagent, and (2) the determination of the amount of complexed analyte extracted by the disk by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). This method, called colorimetric–solid-phase extraction (C–SPE), was recently shown effective in determining low concentrations (0.1–5.0 mg/ml) of iodine and iodide in drinking water. This report extends C–SPE to the trace (∼4 μg/l) level monitoring of silver(I) which is a biocide used on the International Space Station (ISS). The determination relies on the manually driven passage of a water sample through a polystyrene–divinylbenzene disk that has been impregnated with the colorimetric reagent 5-(p-dimethylaminobenzylidene) rhodanine (DMABR) and with an additive such as a semi-volatile alcohol (1,2-decanediol) or nonionic surfactant (Brij 30). The amount of concentrated silver(I) is then determined in a few seconds by using a hand-held diffuse reflectance spectrometer, with a total sample workup and readout time of ∼60 s. Importantly, the additive induces the uptake of water by the disk, which creates a local environment conducive to silver(I) complexation at an extremely high concentration factor (∼800). There is no detectable reaction between silver(I) and impregnated DMABR in the absence of the additive. This strategy represents an intriguing new dimension for C–SPE in which additives, directly loaded in the disk material, provide a means to manipulate the reactivity of the impregnated reagent.

The gaseous phase obtained from the ablation process has been characterised by several techniques such as emission spectroscopy, quadrupole mass spectrometry and ICCD imaging, used to study the plume composition, energy and morphology. The results show that the ablation processes in the short-pulse regimes are very different to the nanosecond one. In particular the plume angular distribution shows a characteristic high cosine exponent and the composition is completely stoichiometric and independent from the laser fluence. Furthermore the mass spectra indicate the presence of clusters, both neutral and ionised and the emission from the target suggest a rapid thermalisation leading to the melting of the surface. To clarify the ablation process some films have been deposited, on oriented silicon, at different experimental conditions and analysed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction. The analyses show the presence of nanostructured films retaining the target stoichiometry but consisting of different crystalline and non crystalline phases. In particular the nanostructure supports the hypothesis of the melting of the target during the ablation and a mechanism of material ejection is proposed for both picosecond and femtosecond regimes.

Several stands of quaking aspen were grown in large gas-exchange chambers in Hg-enriched soil (12.3±1.3 μg g−1), and the Hg content in the vegetation was determined over time. Foliar Hg concentrations increased as a function of leaf age and leveled off after 2–3 months in the oldest tissue with a mean tissue concentration of 150 ng g−1. Approximately 80% of the total Hg accumulated in the aboveground biomass was found in the leaves, and roughly 1% of that Hg was methylated. Leaves of additional aspen grown within the mesocosms in containers of low Hg soil (0.03±0.01 μg g−1) exhibited foliar Hg concentrations similar to those of trees grown in the Hg-enriched soil. Leaf rinses and surrogate Teflon surfaces were analyzed to characterize surface deposition processes. Small gas-exchange systems were used to measure stomatal uptake of Hg vapor, and the mean Hg flux was −3.3 ng m−2 h−1. These experiments showed that almost all of the Hg in foliar tissue originated from the atmosphere. Thus, in the fall when deciduous trees enter dormancy and leaves senesce, litterfall would represent a new Hg input to terrestrial ecosystems.

Ferric citrate or hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) was provided as the electron acceptor and lactate or H2 (balanced with CO2) was used as the electron donor. Because these bacteria are not known to grow chemoautotrophically, yeast extract was provided as a carbon source when cultures were grown on H2/CO2.Siderite formed only when HFO was used as the electron acceptor, possibly because of chelation of ferrous iron with dissolved citrate when ferric citrate was used as the electron acceptor. Carbon isotope enrichment factors for the siderite–CO2 system (ϵsid-CO2) ranged from 13.3‰ to 14.5‰ when lactate was used as the carbon and energy source, which were consistent with theoretical calculations of equilibrium isotope fractionation (αsid-CO2) for the siderite–CO2 system [Geochim. Int. 18 (1981) 85]. In experiments using H2/CO2 as the energy source and yeast extract as the carbon source, carbon isotope enrichment factors were relatively low (0.5‰ to 7.4‰). The potential exists that a kinetic effect related to siderite precipitation rate influenced isotope partitioning or a dynamic balance was established between carbon sinks (i.e. biomass and solid carbonate) of diverging carbon isotope composition. A more quantitative estimate of ϵsid-CO2 for biological systems that contain ambient dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) requires a deeper understanding of carbon flow dynamics in these compartmentalized closed systems.Finally, in experiments using H2/CO2 as an energy source, the hydrogen isotope composition of head gas H2 and water were analyzed for D/H ratio. The results indicate that bacterial metabolism potentially facilitates isotope exchange between water and H2.

The variables studied included thrust, jet broadening and invariant jet mass. The kinematic range covered was 10 < Q2 < 20 480 GeV² and 6 × 10-4 < χ < 0.6, where Q2 is the virtuality of the exchanged boson and χ is the Bjorken variable. The Q dependence of the shape variables has been used in conjunction with NLO perturbative calculations and the Dokshitzer-Webber non-perturbative corrections (`power corrections') to investigate the validity of this approach.

T1 - Fuel characteristics of processed, high-fiber sugarcane JO - Fuel Processing Technology JF - Fuel Processing Technology Y1 - 2003/04/15/ VL - 81 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 35 SN - 03783820 AB - A study of treatment methods to improve the fuel characteristics of sugarcane variety B52298 was conducted. Two parent materials, whole cane (WC) and stripped cane (SC), were included in the study. The whole cane material was subjected to three treatments: (1) no treatment, WC-U; (2) a single milling, WC-M; and (3) an initial milling followed by leaching and a secondary milling, WC-MLM. Treatments (1) through (3) are in order of increasing severity. The stripped cane material was subjected to treatment (3) and designated as SC-MLM.Regardless of parent material, milling produced moisture contents of ∼50% wet basis and fiber bulk densities of ∼97 kg m−3 in the treated fuels and produced a shift in particle distributions toward smaller sizes. Geometric mean diameters (by weight) of the WC-U, WC-M, WC-MLM, and SC-MLM materials were 2.3, 1.8, 1.3, and 1.3 mm, respectively.Ash generated from the fuel was reduced by roughly 1% (absolute) for each milling operation, resulting in reductions of ∼2% for the WC-MLM and SC-MLM treatments. Ash reduction was primarily due to the removal of K, Cl, and S by the treatment operations. Ash removal, in addition to reductions in the O content of the treated fuels, contributed to an increase in the energy content of the fuels from ∼17.6 MJ kg−1 in the parent materials to 18.4 and 19.2 MJ kg−1 for the WC-MLM and SC-MLM treatments, respectively.K, Cl, S, and N concentrations were all reduced in the fuel by the treatments. K comprised ∼1.3% of the parent materials and Cl accounted for 0.65% and 0.83% of dry matter for the whole cane and stripped cane parent materials, respectively. Reductions in K concentration relative to the parent materials for the WC-M, WC-MLM, and SC-MLM treatments were 50%, 86%, and 91%, respectively. Cl was reduced 62% by the WC-M treatment relative to the unprocessed whole cane, and removal was essentially complete for the two leached treatments. Sulfur in the two parent materials accounted for ∼0.22% of plant dry matter. Compared to the parent materials, the WC-M, WC-MLM, and SC-MLM treatments removed 36%, 82%, and 86% of the S, respectively. Nitrogen concentrations in the stripped cane and whole cane parent materials were 0.48% and 0.37%, respectively. Nitrogen reduction by the WC-M, WC-MLM, and SC-MLM treatments was 12%, 27%, and 57%, respectively.Ash deformation temperatures (oxidizing atmosphere) increased in the treated fuels compared to parent materials. Ash from the WC-MLM treatment did not attain the initial stage of deformation at the maximum test temperature, 1482 °C. Ash of the WC-M and SC-MLM treatments became fluid at ∼1350 °C. Experimentally determined fluid temperatures for the more severely treated fuels compared well with values predicted by a ternary phase diagram for the SiO2–K2O–CaO system.Slagging and fouling indices were computed for each of the fuel treatments. Values for WC-U and WC-M exceeded a benchmark of 0.34 kg (K2O+Na2O) GJ−1 and would be expected to cause ash deposition in boiler use. Values for the WC-MLM and SC-MLM treatments were 0.13 and 0.08 kg (K2O+Na2O) GJ−1, respectively, and are good candidates for boiler fuels. Concomitant reductions in S and Cl for these two fuels further reduce the likelihood of ash deposition, as well as improve environmental performance by reducing criteria and acid gas pollutant emissions.Mass balances for K and Cl were conducted for the treatment operations. Closure for the balances ranged from 112% to 122% over all treatments, and was viewed as validating the consistency of the results.

In addition, growth of hydrogen-free samples and corresponding measurements of vacancies provide strong evidence that gallium vacancies have an effect, but are not a limiting defect.

To improve radiative efficiency, material is annealed after growth, after which the band gap is found to significantly blueshift. Structural changes that occur during this annealing process were studied using fluorescent X-ray absorption fine structure. By comparing the absorption data with lattice parameter and band structure simulations, it was found that the number of In atoms surrounding N atoms increased after the high-temperature annealing. According to ab initio simulations this ordering will increase the band gap of the GaInNAs alloy. We believe the reduction of free energy drives the reordering process towards increasing In–N coordination.

All of the compounds are metals, and those with magnetic ions exhibit long-range magnetic order at low temperatures, with the exception of PrAgBi2. For the lightest rare earths the samples are of extremely high quality. For LaAgBi2 de Haas van Alphen oscillations are found in remarkably small fields and high temperatures. The magnetic ground states for compounds that order magnetically appear to be antiferromagnetic, but with less local moment anisotropy than that seen in RBi2. Anisotropic metamagnetism is observed for CeAgBi2; however, no large magnetoresistance was observed in any of RAgBi2, as opposed to either the RAgSb2 or RSb2 series. Magnetic ordering temperatures scale poorly with de Gennes scaling.

These composites are made of a lead-containing glass matrix, into which particles of lanthanum zirconate pyrochlore are embedded in 10 and 30 vol% concentrations. The fabrication involves powder mixing, pressing and pressureless sintering. The processing conditions were investigated with the aim of achieving the highest possible density. The best composites obtained showed a good distribution of the lanthanum zirconate particles in the glass matrix, strong bonding of the particles to the matrix and relatively low porosity (<10%). The best sintering temperature was 600°C for the 10 vol% composite and 650°C for 30 vol%. Sintering was carried out for an hour and a heating rate of 10°C · min-1 was shown to be superior to a heating rate of 2°C · min-1. At the relatively low sintering temperatures used, the pyrochlore crystalline structure of lanthanum zirconate, relevant for containment of radioactive nuclei, was stable.

Considering a three- dimensional geometry, an analytical model is developed to derive the stress distribution in the system, and the film-cracking problem is analyzed using both the strength and the energy criteria. Compared to the strength criterion, the energy criterion shows better agreement with the measurements of the crack density versus applied strain relation.

By adding a suitable organic template (e.g. tetraethyl- or tetrapropylammonium bromide) in polymeric silica sols, otherwise known to result in microporous membranes with pores in the range 3–4 A˚, we can ‘shift’ the pore size to 5–6 A˚, as judged by single-component gas and vapor permeation results with probe molecules of increasing kinetic diameter (dk). The templated membranes exhibit permeances as high as 10−7 to 10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1 for molecules with dk<4.0 A˚ (e.g. CO2, N2, CH4), coupled with single-component selectivities of 100–1800 for N2/SF6, 20–40 for n-butane/iso-butane, and 10–20 for para-xylene/ortho-xylene. The transport properties of the templated membranes are distinctly different from those of the respective silica membranes prepared without templating, and resemble somewhat the transport properties of polycrystalline zeolite MFI membranes prepared by the lengthy, batch hydrothermal synthesis approach, using tetrapropylammonium bromide as a structure directing agent.

Few parameters are required as input and limited user interaction is necessary to process an entire experiment of images. This eliminates fatigue related errors and user-related bias common to manual analysis. The method does not rely on stained images and handles images of variable quality. The algorithm is used to determine time and dose dependent, in vitro, neurotoxic effects of 1 GeV per nucleon iron particles in retinal explants. No neurotoxic effects are detected until 72 h after exposure; at 72 h, significant reductions of neurite outgrowth occurred at doses higher than 10 cGy.

Transmission electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction characterization results showed that metallic cobalt nano-particles form when heating the cobalt-doped aerogel samples over 500 °C. At low heating temperature, many highly oriented carbon thin films can be found on metallic cobalt nano-particles. When heating the samples at 850 °C, some carbon nano-filaments are obtained. While heating the samples at 1050 °C, many graphitic nano-ribbons are grown and the framework of the interconnected carbon particles of the sample is changed. Graphitic nano-ribbons can also be grown by CO decomposition of the cobalt-doped carbon aerogels. We can therefore control and modify the nanostructures of cobalt-doped carbon aerogels by heating them at different temperatures or by using CO decomposition.

We present a comparative study of a monolayer of a long-chain alkanol at the water−vapor and water−hexane interfaces using X-ray reflectivity to highlight significant differences between these two interfaces. The molecules in the Langmuir monolayer form an ordered phase of nearly rigid rods. In contrast, at the water−hexane interface, the triacontanol molecules form a condensed phase with progressive disordering of the chain from the −CH2OH to the −CH3 group. Surprisingly, at the water−hexane interface, the density in the headgroup region is 10−15% greater than either bulk water or the ordered headgroup region found at the water−vapor interface. It is conjectured that this higher density is a result of water penetration into the headgroup region of the disordered monolayer.

Silica colloidal sphere sizes were controlled by changing ammonium concentration at fixed TEOS and water concentrations. These silica spheres settle out from their alcoholic dispersion to form closely packed three-dimensional (3-D) particle arrays—i.e., photonic crystals that exhibit vivid optical diffraction due to a high degree of ordering of the particles. The lattice constant of the opal photonic crystal structure, as determined by optical diffraction, was found to be in a good agreement with that observed by SEM measurements. Highly purified silica nanospheres could also self-assemble to form 3-D crystalline colloidal arrays (CCAs) in water, which give narrow and continuously tunable diffraction peaks in the visible range. By grafting hydrocarbon chains on silica surfaces using the silane coupling agent octadecyltrimethoxysilane, hydrophobic silica nanospheres were obtained, and they readily self-assemble at the air−water interface to form closely packed two-dimensional (2-D) particle arrays. Such 2-D particle arrays could be collected onto solid substrates to form monolayer or multilayer thin films with controlled film thickness according to the particle size.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/04/15/ VL - 107 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 3535 EP - 3543 SN - 15206106 AB - In this article the structural and electronic properties of CeO2 and Ce1-xZrxO2 nanoparticles are investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), and density functional calculations. CeO2 and Ce1-xZrxO2 (x ≤ 0.5) particles in sizes between 4 and 7 nm were synthesized using a novel microemulsion method. The atoms in these nanoparticles adopted a cubic or pseudocubic crystal structure. The lattice constant decreased with increasing Zr content, varying from 5.4019 Å in CeO2 to 5.3066 Å in Ce0.5Zr0.5O2. Within the cubic structure, the Zr atoms exhibited structural perturbations that led to different types of Zr−O distances and nonequivalent O atoms in the Ce1-xZrxO2 compounds. Upon the addition of Zr to CeO2, the Zr positive charge in Ce1-xZrxO2 is smaller than in pure ZrO2 whereas the Ce positive charge is larger than in pure CeO2. Combination of these geometrical and electronic effects produced Zr LIII-edge and O K-edge XANES spectra with a distinctive line-shape not seen in pure ZrO2 or CeO2. The doping with Zr increases the thermal stability of the ceria nanoparticles and their chemical reactivity toward hydrogen. At temperatures between 300 and 900 °C, the Ce1-xZrxO2 nanoparticles reacted with H2 and water evolved into gas phase. XANES showed the generation of Ce3+ cations (without reduction of Zr4+) but an absence of diffraction lines different from fluorite-type ones was noted. There was an expansion in the unit cell of the reduced particles probably as a consequence of a partial Ce4+ → Ce3+ transformation and the sorption of hydrogen into the bulk of the material. The Ce1-xZrxO2 nanoparticles interact with H2 and reduce at lower temperatures than bulk Ce1-xZrxO2 systems. This important difference could originate in an enhancement in chemical reactivity characteristic of nanostructured materials.

In this paper this technique is applied to problems of radiative transfer through spatially inhomogeneous scattering and absorbing media. This technique is shown to allow one both to obtain the solution with reasonable accuracy and to get physical insight into the problem under consideration. The accuracy of the perturbation technique is demonstrated through comparison with results from the SHDOM simulation code for one problem of cloud optics.

In this paper we develop the full formalism for another technique, based on radiative perturbation theory. With this approach, one starts with a plane-parallel ‘base model’, for which many solution techniques exist, and treat the horizontal variability as a perturbation. We show that under the most logical assumption as to the base model, the first-order perturbation term is zero for domain-average radiation quantities, so that it is necessary to go to higher order terms. This requires the computation of the Green''s function. While this task is by no means simple, once the various pieces have been assembled they may be re-used for any number of perturbations—that is, any horizontal variations.

Specifically, steady state compressive flow stress (i.e. maximum flow stress) was determined as a function of temperature (1000, 1100, 1200 °C), strain-rate (10−3, 10−4 s−1), and composite reinforcement loading percentage (30, 40, 50 v%). The experimental results have been used to develop unified constitutive equations for each matrix type that can be used to survey the sensitivity of the respective flow behavior to the independent variables of high temperature wrought processing. The results indicate that while the temperature and strain-rate dependence of flow stress can be described in terms of a traditional Zener–Holloman (temperature-compensated strain-rate) analysis, reinforcement volume percentage may additionally represent a non-traditional but influential independent variable of processing. It is shown that particulate volume loading can be used to positively influence the deformability characteristics of the composite.

While of the highest importance, this is very difficult because these flavors only have neutral-current detector interactions. We propose that neutrino-proton elastic scattering, ν + p → ν + p, can be used for the detection of supernova neutrinos in scintillator detectors. It should be emphasized immediately that the dominant signal is on free protons. Though the proton recoil kinetic energy spectrum is soft, with Tp ≌ SHAPE="SOL" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">2Eν2Mp, and the scintillation light output from slow, heavily ionizing protons is quenched, the yield above a realistic threshold is nearly as large as that from νe + p → e++n. In addition, the measured proton spectrum is related to the incident neutrino spectrum. The ability to detect this signal would give detectors like KamLAND and Borexino a crucial and unique role in the quest to detect supernova neutrinos. These results are now published: J. F.

Moreover, EUV source power limitations dictate the use of the full bandwidth supported by the reflective EUV multilayers. A typical four mirror EUV optic supports an operating bandwidth of approximately 360 pm. This large bandwidth, combined with the off-axis nature of EUV lithography optics leading to significant pathlength differences across the field, raises the issue of temporal coherence effects on the imaging properties of EUV systems. Here we present analysis and computer simulation of the temporal coherence effect in EUV lithography optics. The analysis shows that under typical lithographic operating conditions, temporal coherence effects can still be safely ignored. However, non-negligible effects could arise in cases of higher-coherence imaging (small partial coherence factor, σ).

The calculated Raman-active modes are in excellent agreement with a recent observation, and comparison of calculated IR-active modes with a recent report provides a prediction of the LO–TO splitting for these four modes, which is small for the B–C bond stretching mode at ∼1200 cm−1, but large for clearly resolved modes at 540 and 620 cm−1.

Both the anomalous magnetization peak H2p and the onset of the anomalous magnetization peak Hon are detected in temperature region from 0.3Tc to 0.9Tc based on the descending field branch of magnetic hysteresis loops. At low temperatures below 20 K, the magnetic hysteresis loop behaves as an obvious asymmetry. The double magnetic hysteresis behavior is observed at high temperatures close to Tc. The temperature dependence of H2p can be described according to the thermal disorder induced decoupling theory. The double magnetization behavior may be ascribed to the existence of intra-grain granularity due to the inhomogeneity of oxygen distribution induced by heavily Pb-doping.

The result obtained on Bi-2212 single crystals with dirty and clean surfaces demonstrates that variation of surface state does not result in the disappearance of anomalous magnetization peak H2p and has only an influence on the width of magnetic hysteresis loops. The result obtained on Bi-2212 single crystals with elongated and circular shapes shows that the variation of shape also does not give rise to the disappearance of H2p. The origin of H2p of Bi-2212 single crystal is suggested to originate from other intrinsic reasons and should not be attributed to the surface state and surface shape.

The resistivity anisotropy of (Bi,Pb)-2212 single crystals and their transport properties under applied magnetic fields with H∥c have been systematically studied. In-plane resistivity (ρab), out-plane resistivity (ρc) and anisotropy (γ) of (Bi,Pb)-2212 are significantly reduced by heavy Pb doping. The dissipation behavior of (Bi,Pb)-2212 single crystals in the mixed state can be well described by the thermally activated flux creep model and flux creep is obviously suppressed for heavily Pb-doped single crystals. The origin of the improved flux pinning is suggested to stem mainly from the reduced anisotropy and the improved coupling strength between Cu–O layers due to Pb-doping.

T1 - Effect of magnetic field strength in melt-processing on texture development and critical current density of Bi-oxide superconductors JO - Physica C JF - Physica C Y1 - 2003/04/15/ VL - 386 M3 - Article SP - 115 SN - 09214534 AB - Vertical magnetic fields up to 15 T were applied to the magnetic melt-processing (MMP) of Bi2212 bulks and Ag-sheathed tapes with a core thickness above 80 μm, which were set horizontally. Texture with the c-axis along the direction of magnetic field applied during MMP is developed due to the anisotropy in magnetic susceptibility of Bi2212. The degree of texture and the anisotropy factor in magnetization increase almost linearly as the magnetic field strength Ha during MMP is increased. The anisotropy factor in magnetization reaches 6.5 at a Ha of 13 T for Ag-doped Bi2212 bulks, whereas for Bi(Pb)2212 in which Pb partially substitutes for Bi the factor is suppressed to a half of that of Ag-doped Bi2212. The transport critical current Ic and the critical current density Jc of Bi2212 tapes also increase with increasing Ha due to the texture development and Ic reaches above 1000 A in self-filed for the tapes with a core thickness of 180 μm. However, for further thicker tapes, Ic decreases. The suppressions in the Ic for the tapes and in the anisotropy factor in magnetization for Bi(Pb)2212 bulks are due to inhomogeneous melting, and inhomogeneous nucleation and growth of crystals during MMP. When crystal growth is restricted, crystal alignment is suppressed.

The effects of the deposition parameters such as laser fluence and substrate temperature, on surface morphology and microstructure were examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). AFM observations revealed that a granular structure was seen in the precursor films deposited at lower energy (less than 200 mJ) and disappeared at higher energy (250 mJ). SEM investigation on final reacted films showed that the precursor films deposited at 250 °C resulted in a well-connected and uniformly dense microstructure, whereas the films deposited at lower or higher temperatures were porous and non-uniform.

Although the grain sizes were similar, the two films behaved quite differently in tension. The sputtered material was found to behave in a brittle manner, with failure occurring via rapid coalescence of intergranular cracks. Conversely, the laser deposited film behaved in a ductile manner, with failure occurring by slow ductile crack growth. The difference in failure mechanism was attributed to the presence of grain boundary porosity in the sputtered thin film. Both films exhibited pervasive dislocation motion before failure, and showed no conclusive evidence of a change in deformation mode.

Consistent with our earlier simulations of grain-boundary diffusion creep, albeit in the absence of grain growth, we find that initially, i.e. prior to the onset of significant grain growth, the deformation proceeds via the mechanism of Coble creep. Also, consistent with our earlier grain-growth simulations in the absence of stress, two growth mechanisms are observed during the deformation: growth due to curvature-driven GB migration and growth resulting from grain rotation-induced grain coalescence. The comparison of the grain growth observed in the presence of the applied stress with that solely in response to temperature as the driving force enables us to identify the mechanisms by which external stress affects grain growth. In particular, we find that both GB migration and grain rotation are accelerated by the deformation.

Here, we report the results of explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations, which address the mechanism of discrimination by the ribosome. The universally conserved 16 S rRNA base A1493 and the kink in mRNA between A and P sites amplify differences in stability between cognate and near-cognate codon–anticodon pairs. Destabilization by the mRNA kink also provides a geometric explanation for the higher error rates observed for mismatches in the first codon position relative to mismatches in the second codon position. For more stable near-cognates, the repositioning of the universally conserved bases A1492 and G530 results in increased solvent exposure and an uncompensated loss of hydrogen bonds, preventing correct codon–anticodon–ribosome interactions from forming.

The objective is to find a matching in G with the maximum weight that satisfies the given sequential orders on both U and V, i.e. if ui+1 follows ui in U and if vj+1 follows vj in V, then ui is matched with vj if and only if ui+1 is matched with vj+1. The problem has recently been formulated as a crucial step in an algorithmic approach for interpreting NMR spectral data (IEEE Comput. Sci. Eng. 4 (2002) 50–62). The interpretation of NMR spectral data is known as a key problem in protein structure determination via NMR spectroscopy. Unfortunately, the constrained bipartite matching problem is NP-hard (IEEE Comput. Sci. Eng. 4 (2002) 50–62). We first propose a 2-approximation algorithm for the problem, which follows directly from the recent result of Bar-Noy et al. (Proc. 32nd ACM Symp. on Theory of Computing (STOC’00), 2000, pp. 735–744) on interval scheduling. However, our extensive experimental results on real NMR spectral data illustrate that the algorithm performs poorly in terms of recovering target-matching edges. We then propose another approximation algorithm that tries to take advantage of the “density” of the sequential order information in V. Although we are only able to prove an approximation ratio of 3 log2 D for this algorithm, where D is the length of a longest string in V, the experimental results demonstrate that this new algorithm performs much better on real data, i.e. it is able to recover a large fraction of target-matching edges and the weight of its output matching is often in fact close to the maximum. We also prove that the problem is MAX SNP-hard, even if the input bipartite graph is unweighted. We further present an approximation algorithm for a nontrivial special case that breaks the ratio 2 barrier.

Ni(111) samples, prepared via annealing in H2 and exposure to air at room temperature, are covered by a smooth three to four layers thick NiO(111) film with parallel (NiO[11¯0]∣∣Ni[11¯0]) and anti-parallel (NiO[11¯0]∣∣Ni[1¯10]) in-plane orientation. Electrochemical reduction at potentials ≤−0.40 VAg/AgCl results in the formation of a well-defined, oxide-free surface with large terraces, a low surface mobility, and a (1×1) lattice on the atomic scale. X-ray reflectivity data indicate vertical lattice expansion for the topmost Ni layer and a strongly bound sulfate or oxygen species. Active Ni dissolution commences at potentials ≥−0.25 VAg/AgCl by a step-flow mechanism, followed by the rapid formation of large three-dimensional etch pits, leading to considerable surface roughening. In situ STM observations of the passive film formation show at potentials ≥−0.10 VAg/AgCl the nucleation and growth of an initial ‘grainy’ phase, which is attributed to a Ni hydroxide, followed by a slower restructuring process. According to our combined STM and SXS data, the resulting steady-state passive film exhibits a duplex structure, with a crystalline, inner NiO(111) layer, consisting of exclusively anti-parallel oriented grains (NiO[11¯0]∣∣Ni[1¯10]) which are slightly tilted relative to the substrate lattice, and a porous, probably amorphous hydroxide phase on top. The thickness of the crystalline NiO film increases with potential by 14–17 A˚ V−1. In addition, structural changes of the oxide film during immersion of Ni samples into the sulfuric acid solution at potentials in the passive range and after emersion from the electrolyte were observed, which indicate the slow conversion of the air-formed into the passive oxide and the (partial) reformation of the air-formed oxide, respectively.

To confirm and extend these results we evaluated 22 phosphine appliers and 26 controls matched for age and smoking status. Two independent methods were used to evaluate exposure: fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with whole-chromosome paints of chromosomes 1, 2, and 4 labeled in a single color to quantify translocations in peripheral lymphocytes, and the glycophorin A (GPA) assay to quantify phenotypically mutant (NØ or NN) erythrocytes. No differences in the frequency of translocations were found in the phosphine appliers compared to the controls, and no effect of cigarette smoking was observed. However, a significant increase in the frequency of translocations with age (P<0.0001) was seen. No effect of phosphine exposure or cigarette smoking was observed in the GPA assay. These results are in contrast to previous findings from this same population which showed an increase in chromosome aberrations among phosphine appliers. The results are most easily interpreted as supporting the effectiveness of the personal protective equipment that is now worn by the workers but which was not employed prior to and during the earlier studies.

A non-linear enhancement of yields for large Nbn+ and Tan+ cluster ions (n>4) appeared to be a result of a non-additive process of sputtering rather than of a non-additive process of their ionization.

In contrast, at the target azimuth orientation of the present measurement, only minor differences in F− yield are observed for hard scattering from the two lattice sites.

In the absence of CO, the theoretical calculations show site exchange or intermixing after depositing Mo atoms on Au(1 1 1). The presence of CO prevents Mo–Au intermixing and, thus, enhances the mobility of Mo on the surface. This phenomenon can explain a novel growth mode found when using Mo(CO)6 as a precursor for the preparation of metal nanoparticles on Au(1 1 1).

JO - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society JF - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Y1 - 2003/04/21/ VL - 340 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1057 EP - 1075 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 00358711 AB - ABSTRACT We present new results on the Hubble diagram of distant type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) segregated according to the type of host galaxy. This makes it possible to check earlier evidence for a cosmological constant by explicitly comparing SNe residing in galaxies likely to contain negligible dust with the larger sample. The cosmological parameters derived from these SNe Ia hosted by presumed dust-free early-type galaxies support earlier claims for a cosmological constant, which we demonstrate at ≃5σ significance, and the internal extinction implied is small even for late-type systems (A[sub B] < 0.2) . Thus, our data demonstrate that host galaxy extinction is unlikely to systematically dim distant SNe Ia in a manner that would produce a spurious cosmological constant. Our analysis is based on new Hubble Space Telescope STIS ‘snapshot’ images and Keck-II echellette spectroscopy at the locations of the SNe, spanning the redshift range 0 < z < 0.8 . Selecting from the sample discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP), we classify the host galaxies of 39 distant SNe using the combination of STIS imaging, Keck spectroscopy and ground-based broad-band photometry. The distant data are analysed in comparison with a low-redshift sample of 25 SNe Ia re-calibrated according to the precepts of the SCP. The scatter observed in the SNe Ia Hubble diagrams correlates closely with host galaxy morphology. We find this scatter is smallest for SNe Ia occurring in early-type hosts and largest for those occurring in late-type galaxies. Moreover, SNe residing in late-type hosts appear ≃ 0.14 ± 0.09 mag fainter in their light-curve-width-corrected luminosity than those in early-type hosts, as expected if a modest amount of dust extinction is a contributing factor. As in previous studies, these results are broadly independent of whether corrections based upon SN light-curve shapes are performed. We also use our high-redshift data set to search for morphological dependences in the SNe light curves, as are sometimes seen in low-redshift samples. No significant trends are found, possibly because the range of light-curve widths is too limited.

We measure the proper motion of 46 961 stars and divide RCGs into bright and faint subsamples that on average will be closer to the near and far sides of the bar, respectively. We find that the far-side RCGs (4979 stars) have a proper motion of Δ<μ>∼ 1.5 ± 0.11 mas yr[sup -1] toward the negative l relative to the near-side RCGs (3610 stars). This result can be explained by stars in the bar rotating around the Galactic Centre in the same direction as the Sun with v[sub b]∼ 100 km s[sup -1] . In the disc star (DS) and red giant (RG) samples, we do not find significant difference between bright and faint subsamples. For those samples Δ<μ>∼ 0.3 ± 0.14 mas yr[sup -1] and ∼0.03 ± 0.14 mas yr[sup -1] , respectively. It is likely that the average proper motion of RG stars is the same as that of the Galactic Centre. The proper motion of DSs with respect to RGs is ∼3.3 mas yr[sup -1] toward positive l. This value is consistent with the expectations for a flat rotation curve and solar motion with respect to local standard of rest. RGs have proper motion approximately equal to the average of bright and faint RCGs, which implies that they are on average near the centre of the bar. This pilot project demonstrates that OGLE-II data may be used to study streaming motions of stars in the Galactic bar. We intend to extend this work to all 49 OGLE-II fields in the Galactic bulge region.

About 20 times more data are expected to be collected during the first phase of the collider Run II, which is in its second year of data-taking. The second phase of Run II, expected to begin in 2005, will increase the integrated luminosity to about 10–15 fb−1. Discovering a low-mass Higgs boson and evidence for Supersymmetry or other new physics beyond the Standard Model are the main physics goals for Run II. It is widely recognized that the use of advanced analysis methods will be crucial to achieve these goals. I discuss the current status of Run II at the Tevatron, prospects and foreseen applications of advanced analysis methods.

The goal of letting scientists at their home institutions interact with and analyze data as if they were physically present at the major laboratory that houses their detector and computer center has yet to be accomplished. The Particle Physics Data Grid project (www.ppdg.net) has recently embarked on an effort to “Interface and Integrate Interactive Data Analysis Tools with the grid and identify Common Components and Services”. The initial activities are to collect known and identify new requirements for grid services and analysis tools from a range of current and future experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, BaBar, D0, CMS, JLab, STAR, others welcome), to determine if existing plans for tools and services meet these requirements. Follow-on activities will foster the interaction between grid service developers, analysis tool developers, experiment analysis framework developers and end user physicists, and will identify and carry out specific development/integration work so that interactive analysis tools utilizing grid services actually provide the capabilities that users need. This talk will summarize what we know of requirements for analysis tools and grid services, as well as describe the identified areas where more development work is needed.

A new simulation framework based on GEANT4 is under development. A full description of the detector is available, and the tuning of the GEANT4 performance and the checking of the ability of the physics processes to describe the detector response is ongoing. Its integration on the CMS mass production system and GRID is also currently under development. The Detector Description Database project aims at providing a common source of information for Simulation, Reconstruction, Analysis, and Visualisation, while allowing for different representations as well as specific information for each application. A functional prototype, based on XML, is already released. Also examples of the integration of DDD in the GEANT4 simulation and in the reconstruction applications are provided.

The changes implemented include (a) imposition of color neutrality at the nucleon level and (b) realistic nuclear matter distributions of finite nuclei. The saturation scale characterizing the fields of color charge is explicitly position-dependent, Λs=Λs(xT). We compute gluon distributions both before and after the collisions. The gluon distribution in the nuclear wavefunction before the collision is significantly suppressed below the saturation scale when compared to the simple McLerran–Venugopalan model prediction, while the behavior at large momentum pT≫Λs remains unchanged. We study the centrality dependence of produced gluons and compare it to the centrality dependence of charged hadrons exhibited by the RHIC data. We demonstrate the geometrical scaling property of the initial gluon transverse momentum distributions for different centralities. Classical Yang–Mills results for pT<Λs are simply matched to perturbative QCD computations for pT>Λs—the resulting energy per particle is significantly lower than the purely classical estimates. Our results for nuclear collisions can be used as initial conditions for quantitative studies of the further evolution and possible equilibration of hot and dense gluonic matter produced in heavy ion collisions. Finally, we study pA collisions within the classical framework. Our results agree well with previously derived analytical results in the appropriate kinematical regions.

In particular, we present a minimal 5D SU(3)C×SU(3)W model and a unified 5D SU(6) model. In both cases the theory is reduced to the minimal supersymmetric standard model below the compactification scale, with the two Higgs doublets arising from the 5D gauge multiplet. Quarks and leptons are introduced in the bulk, giving Yukawa couplings without conflicting with higher-dimensional gauge invariance. Despite the fact that they arise from higher-dimensional gauge interactions, the sizes of these Yukawa couplings can be different from the 4D gauge couplings due to wave-function profiles of the matter zero modes determined by bulk mass parameters. All unwanted fields are made heavy by introducing appropriate matter and superpotentials on branes, which are also the source of intergenerational mixings in the low-energy Yukawa matrices. The theory can accommodate a realistic structure for the Yukawa couplings as well as small neutrino masses. Scenarios for supersymmetry breaking and the μ-term generation are also discussed.

This raises the question whether superfluids carry quantum information. We show that in general the transition from the classical to quantum behavior depends on the probing length scale, and occurs for microscopic length scales except when the interactions between the particles are very weak. This result illustrates the different roles that weakly interacting particles as photons vs. the particles in quantum fluids such as He4, He3, or XY ferromagnets might play in quantum information processes. In the context of regarding spacetime as a quantum superfluid our result provides a natural explanation why under ordinary circumstances physics is described by classical equations.

This new class of systems includes superfluid helium confined to aerogel, HeII with different impurities (D2, N2, Ne, Kr), superfluids in Vycor glasses, and watergel. These systems exhibit very unusual properties including unexpected acoustic features. We discuss the sound properties of these systems and show that sound phenomena in impure superfluids are modified from those in pure superfluids. We calculate the coupling between temperature and pressure oscillations for impure superfluids and for superfluid He in aerogel. We show that the coupling between these two sound modes is governed either by c∂ρ/∂c or σρaρs (for aerogel) rather than thermal expansion coefficient ∂ρ/∂T, which is enormously small in pure superfluids. This replacement plays a fundamental role in all sound phenomena in impure superfluids. It enhances the coupling between the two sound modes that leads to the existence of such phenomena as the slow mode and heat pulse propagation with the velocity of first sound observed in superfluids in aerogel. This means that it is possible to observe in impure superfluids such unusual sound phenomena as slow pressure (density) waves and fast temperature (entropy) waves. The enhancement of the coupling between the two sound modes decreases the threshold values for nonlinear processes as compared to pure superfluids. Sound conversion, which has been observed in pure superfluids only by shock waves should be observed at moderate sound amplitude in impure superfluids. Cˇerenkov emission of second sound by first sound (which never been observed in pure superfluids) could be observed in impure superfluids.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/04/22/ VL - 107 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 2821 EP - 2828 SN - 10895639 AB - We report a photoelectron spectroscopic investigation of a series of monoiron−sulfur clusters FeSn- (n = 1−6) at various photon energies. Vibrationally resolved spectra were measured for FeS- and FeS3-. A wealth of electronic structure information was obtained for FeS and were tentatively assigned, yielding a 5Δ ground state for FeS and a 7Σ+ and a 5Δ excited state at 0.675 and 1.106 eV above the ground state, respectively. Franck−Condon factor simulations were performed for the vibrationally resolved 5Δ ground state and the 5Δ excited state, yielding an Fe−S bond length of 2.18 and 2.29 Å for the anion ground state and the 5Δ excited state, respectively, as well as a vibrational temperature of 180 K for the anion. The electron affinities (EA's) of FeSn were measured to be 1.725 ± 0.10, 3.222 ± 0.009, 2.898 ± 0.008, 3.129 ± 0.008, 3.262 ± 0.010, and 3.52 ± 0.02 eV for n = 1−6, respectively. A significant EA increase was only observed from FeS to FeS2, whereas all larger species FeSn (n = 3−6) possess EA's similar to that of FeS2 within ±0.3 eV. By comparing the trend of EA in FeSn to that of FeOn, we proposed that all the FeSn- (n > 1) species take (Sm2-)Fe3+(Sn-m2-) type structures, in which Fe assumes its favorite +3 formal oxidation state. Preliminary density functional calculations were carried out and the obtained structures support the proposed structural evolution of the FeSn- clusters.

Collectively, the spectra probe local electronic structure and intermediate range crystal structure. Spin independent full multiple scattering calculations of the Mn K edge give good agreement with data above threshold and qualitatively reproduce the prepeak that is observed for each compound. We show that the apparent prepeak for MnO is not due to p−d hybridization at the Mn atom (in accordance with symmetry principles) or quadrupolar transitions but originates from multiple scattering within the fifth shell. We present spin dependent multiple scattering calculations of the O K edge and show that this edge allows for a more direct description of the 3d states than either the Mn L edge or K edge prepeak, which are complicated by multiplet effects.

Determining the intrinsic contribution of the metal site to the redox potential is crucial in understanding how the protein environment influences the overall redox properties of the Fe−S proteins. Here we combine density functional theory and coupled cluster methods with photodetachment spectroscopy to study the electronic structures and gas-phase redox potentials of the [Fe(SCH3)4]2-/-/0 and [Fe(SCH3)3]-/0 analogues of the rubredoxin redox site. The calculations show that oxidations of [Fe(SCH3)4]2- and [Fe(SCH3)4]- involve mainly the Fe 3d and S 3p orbitals, respectively. The calculated adiabatic and vertical detachment energies are in good agreement with the experiment for [Fe(SCH3)3]- and [Fe(SCH3)4]-. The current results further confirm the “inverted level scheme” for the high-spin [1Fe] systems. The redox couple, [Fe(SCH3)4]-/2-, which is the one found in rubredoxin, but cannot be accessed experimentally in the gas phase, was investigated using a thermodynamic cycle that relates it to the [Fe(SCH3)3]-/0 couple and the ligand association reaction, [Fe(SCH3)3]0/- + SCH3- → [Fe(SCH3)4]-/2-. The calculated reduction energy of [Fe(SCH3)4]- (1.7 eV) compares well with the value (1.6 eV) estimated from the calculated bond energies and the experimental detachment energy of [Fe(SCH3)3]-. Thus, this thermodynamic cycle method can be used to estimate metal−ligand bonding energies and determine intrinsic reduction potentials from photodetachment experiments when the reduced forms are not stable in the gas phase.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/04/22/ VL - 107 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 2934 EP - 2942 SN - 10895639 AB - The results of an accurate density-functional study of the structure, energetics and electronic structure of Ptn clusters (with n = 13, 38, and 55) are presented. For Pt38, a truncated octahedral geometry is considered; for Pt13 and Pt55, icosahedral, truncated decahedral, and cuboctahedral geometries are considered. In each case, the structure of the neutral and positively and negatively charged clusters is fully optimized within the given symmetry group. For Pt13, allowing symmetry breaking starting from the symmetrical structures derives additional local minima. The computational procedure is thoroughly tested to keep numerical accuracy under control. From the electronic structure point of view, it is found that these systems start developing metallic characteristics, with ionization introducing small changes. From the structural point of view, for Pt13 the icosahedral configuration is not favored, whereas it becomes the ground state for Pt55, in agreement with the predictions of atom−atom potentials. Moreover, the lowest energy configuration of Pt13 is a symmetry-broken D4h one, while for Pt38 and Pt55 a peculiar rearrangement is found, corresponding to an expansion (reconstruction) of the atoms lying on (111) or (100) faces.

Isotherms at room temperature over a range of pressures up to 48 bar have been measured. We demonstrate that activation of the SWNT samples by mild oxidation in CO2, followed by heat treatment in an inert atmosphere, increases the hydrogen adsorption capacity of the SWNT samples by about a factor of 3 at 48 bar. Computer simulations have been performed to model the adsorption isotherms. Bundles of homogeneous (all the same diameter) and heterogeneous (composed of a number of different diameters) nanotubes have been considered. Isotherms computed using a standard graphitic potential for the nanotubes give remarkably good agreement with the experimentally measured isotherms before activation with CO2. The effect of activation is modeled by independently increasing the nanotube spacing and the solid−fluid interaction potential. We find that nanotube spacing alone cannot account for the measured increase in adsorption capacity. Increasing the interaction potential gives isotherms that are qualitatively different from experiments, while a combination of increased nanotube spacing and increased solid−fluid potential gives rough agreement with experiments.

To estimate the turnover rate from such measurements one has to fit a particular mathematical model to the data. The biological assumptions underlying various models developed for this purpose are controversial. Here, we fit a series of different models to BrdU data on CD4+ T cells from SIV- and SIV+ rhesus macaques. We first show that the parameter estimates obtained using these models depend strongly on the details of the model. To resolve this lack of generality we introduce a new parameter for each model, the 'average turnover rate', defined as the cellular death rate averaged over all subpopulations in the model. We show that very different models yield similar estimates of the average turnover rate, i.e. ca. 1% day-1 in uninfected monkeys and ca. 2% day-1 in SIV-infected monkeys. Thus, we show that one can use BrdU data from a possibly heterogeneous population of cells to estimate the average turnover rate of that population in a robust manner.

Differences in temperature and hydrogen content affect the optical properties of the film. These effects provide valuable insight into the growth process. We have compared a-Si:H films grown at two different temperatures to better understand these effects. Our studies reveal the presence of a distinct 100–200-thick layer at the top of the growing film. The properties of this layer are primarily determined by the ambient conditions in the growth chamber and appear relatively independent of substrate temperature. In contrast, the properties of the bulk of the film are strongly influenced by substrate temperature. These results imply that differences in film properties associated with substrate temperature are the result of subsurface reconstruction and diffusion processes.

In this configuration hot wires were replaced by thin ribbons, and under proper operating conditions the complex HW-CVD geometry is simplified to a one-dimensional system. The kinetics of both HFPO decomposition and Teflon deposition were measured as a function of operating conditions. A hybrid 2-D CFD/1-D stagnation flow model was used to interpret the results. At relatively low ribbon temperatures good agreement between model and experiment was observed. Deviations observed at higher ribbon temperatures were attributed to gas-phase polymerization of CF2 moieties, and participation of these oligomers in the deposition process.

Increasing the experimental efficiency, i.e. the experimental throughput, is one of the central motivations for switching to a combinatorial approach. In this paper, the application of the combinatorial approach to researching amorphous-silicon-based materials and devices is demonstrated. Thin-film materials that gradually transition from amorphous to microcrystalline (μc) silicon with various hydrogen dilutions have been successfully, and rapidly, deposited on a single substrate using the hot-wire chemical vapor deposition technique. It is worth noting that no time is wasted in between loading, vacuuming, and heating the samples. Also, many thicknesses graded stripes can be grown on a substrate, allowing study of the thickness-dependent growth of the μc-Si. For device applications such as solar cells, the combinatorial approach can fabricate the solar cell in a way that permits rapid optimization of p-type, intrinsic, and n-type layers within the device structure. Also, a combination of n-, i- and p-layers allows the study of each layer as well as the combinations of each layer on a single substrate. Based on this initial study, the combinatorial approach has speeded up the rate of experimentation by at least a factor of 10. Additional increases ranging from 10 to 100 are foreseeable with the aid of computer control and automations.

The thickness of the wedge varies from 30 to 160 nm. Nucleation of μc-Si occurs at a critical thickness of approximately 100 nm. X-Ray absorption was measured at the Si K-edge (1.84 keV) by total electron photoemission yield. The absorption oscillations in the EXAFS region are very similar to all along the wedge. Analysis indicates an average tetrahedral first neighbor shell with radial disorder decreasing with crystallization. In the near-edge (XANES) region multiple scattering effects appear at the onset of crystallinity. Unlike single crystal silicon, these effects involve only double scattering within the first neighbor shell, indicating an ill-formed second shell in μc-Si.

We now grow a-SiGe:H with Tauc bandgaps below 1.5 eV having a photoresponse equal to or better than our plasma enhanced CVD grown alloys. We enhanced the transport properties—as measured by the photoconductivity frequency mixing technique—relative to previous HWCVD results. These improved alloys do not necessarily show an improvement in the degree of structural heterogeneity on the nanometer scale as measured by small-angle X-ray scattering. Decreasing both the filament temperature and substrate temperature produced a film with relatively low structural heterogeneity while photoluminescence showed an order of magnitude increase in defect density for a similar change in the process.

As the dilution ratio increased, we observed an increase in the amount of microcrystalline phase in the film, a change in the structure of the grains and a loss of the (220) preferential orientation. The films deposited over a seed layer had a larger fraction of crystalline phase than films deposited with the same parameters but without a seed layer. For high dilution ratios (R=100), most of the film grows epitaxially at the interface with the Si substrate, but a microcrystalline film slowly replaces the single-crystal phase. For low dilution ratios (R=14), the film starts growing mostly amorphously, but the amount of crystalline phase increases with thickness.

We found that (a) the spectral lineshape of TSC and its light-induced changes show different features in HW- compared to those in PE-CVD films and (b) in the HW films the density of light-induced metastable defects, ΔNd, from CPM is larger than the ΔDo from ESR; however, in the PECVD films ΔNd is smaller than ΔDo.

The SANS measurements were supplemented by small-angle X-ray scattering measurements. The differences in H/D detection sensitivity of these two techniques allow distinction of the scattering mechanisms. Two- or three-phase models are used to interpret the results quantitatively. Significant H non-uniformity, as well as a small fraction of microvoids, was found in the best-quality material. Samples grown with higher deposition rates or lower substrate temperatures have much larger void fractions. The size scale of the heterogeneity spans a range from 2 nm to more than 50 nm, with the largest features assigned to surface roughness.

Prior to this work, we were unable to grow a-SiGe:H alloys with bandgaps below 1.5 eV that had photo-to-dark conductivity ratios comparable with our plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD) grown materials [B.P. Nelson et al., Mater. Res. Soc. Symp. 507 (1998) 447]. Decreasing the filament diameter from our standard configuration of 0.5 mm to 0.38 or 0.25 mm provides first big improvements in the photoresponse of these alloys. Lowering the substrate temperature from our previous optimal temperatures (Tsub starting at 435 °C) to at 250 °C provides additional photo-to-dark conductivity ratio increasing by two orders of magnitude for growth conditions containing 20–30% GeH4 in the gas phase (relative to the total GeH4+SiH4 flow).

The CVD process was rapid and a low substrate temperature was used. The p-type Czochralski (CZ) c-Si wafer has a thickness of 400 μm and has a thermally diffused Al back-field contact. Before forming the n-p junction, the front surface of the p-type c-Si was cleaned using a diluted HF solution to remove the native oxides. The n-type emitter was formed at 220 °C by depositing 50 A˚ a-Si:H and then a 100 A˚ μc-Si n-layer. The total deposition time to form the emitter was less than 1 min. The top contact of the device is a lithograph defined and isolated 1×1 cm2 and 780 A˚ indium tin oxides (ITO) with metal fingers on top. Our best solar cell conversion efficiency is 13.3% with Voc of 0.58 V, FF of 0.773, and Jsc of 29.86 mA cm−2 under one-sun condition. Quantum efficiency (QE) measurement on this solar cell shows over 90% in the region between 540 and 780 nm, but poor response in the blue and deep red. We find that the ITO top contact that acts as an antireflection layer increases the QE in the middle region. To improve the device efficiency further, Jsc needs to be increased. Better emitter and light trapping will be developed in future work. The cell shows no degradation after 1000 h of standard light soaking.

These cells were deposited in the n–i–p configuration on textured stainless steel (SS) substrates, and all layers were deposited by HWCVD. Thin, highly crystalline seed layers were used to facilitate crystallite formation at the n–i interface. Companion devices were also fabricated on flat SS substrates, enabling structural measurements (by XRD) to be performed on i-layers used in actual device structures. Using a filament temperature of 1750 °C, device performance was explored as a function of i-layer deposition conditions, including variations in i-layer substrate temperature (Tsub) using constant H2 dilution, and also variations in H2 dilution during i-layer deposition. The intent of the latter is to affect crystallinity at the top surface of the i-layer (i–p interface). We report device performance resulting from these studies, with all i-layers deposited at Rd>5 A˚/s, and correlate them with i-layer structural studies. The highest device efficiency reported is 6.57%, which is a record efficiency for an all-hot-wire solar cell.

A H-diluted gas mixture is used to grow the B-doped, 1000 A˚ hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers at approximately 10 A˚/s. We compare switching behavior in Cr/a-Si:H(p)/Ag and c-Si(p)/a-Si:H(p)/Ag structures containing p-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon. We observed that the switching is polarity-dependent only in the sample on c-Si(p). Switching to a low-resistance state occurs at 0.4 mA/cm2 when any of the metal contacts are biased positive. When the c-Si(p) is biased positive holes are injected and no switching occurs even up to 4 A/cm2. We suggest that the switching requires a blocking metal/a-Si(p) contact, possibly because local electrical breakdown initiates metal filament formation.

Photovoltaic devices with HWCVD μc-Si emitters on APIVT epitaxial silicon exhibit greater than 8% efficiency, similar to those made with diffused junctions. On polycrystalline APIVT-Si layers, a HWCVD-deposited μc-Si emitter reduces open-circuit voltage loss caused by grain boundaries. Hot-wire hydrogenation improves Hall mobility by approximately 50%. HWCVD a-SiNx:H films improve minority-carrier lifetime significantly after thermal annealing at temperatures up to 500 °C.

Of particular interest for photonic engineering is the tunable range of the refractive index in amorphous silicon and the fast and slow light induced optical changes. The advance of photonic-engineered amorphous silicon technology requires an investigation into the relationships among fabrication processes, material properties, and the interrelations among the various optically important parameters. Here, the experimental investigation into H-implant refractive engineered amorphous silicon materials is detailed. Interestingly, the H-implant can interact with the amorphous structure to produce compacting of the structure, which may indicate refractive index increase. In addition, the evolving prospects for an amorphous silicon-based photonic technology will be up-dated. Waveguide-based light valve structures for the further scientific investigation of light induced refractive index change in amorphous silicon and technological applications are described.

Graphitic MWNTs were produced at a very high density at a synthesis temperature of ∼600 °C. SWNTs were deposited at a much lower density on a glass substrate held at 450 °C. SWNTs are typically observed in large bundles that are stabilized by tube–tube van der Waals’ interactions. However, transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed only the presence of isolated SWNTs in these HWCVD-generated materials.

Recent studies suggest that an axon surface protein, the Nogo receptor (NgR), may play a role in this process through an unprecedented degree of crossreactivity with myelin-associated inhibitory ligands. Here, we report the 1.5 A˚ crystal structure and functional characterization of a soluble extracellular domain of the human Nogo receptor. Nogo receptor adopts a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) module whose concave exterior surface contains a broad region of evolutionarily conserved patches of aromatic residues, possibly suggestive of degenerate ligand binding sites. A deep cleft at the C-terminal base of the LRR may play a role in NgR association with the p75 coreceptor. These results now provide a detailed framework for focused structure-function studies aimed at assessing the physiological relevance of NgR-mediated protein-protein interactions to axon regeneration inhibition.

For reduction to practice, the criteria developed here are suitable for molecular-thermodynamic models where the model parameters depend on the distribution variable that characterizes the continuous “component”. To illustrate, the Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) equation of state is used to calculate critical properties of alkane mixtures where methane (C1) is the discrete component and C2–C16 comprise a continuous “component”. Calculated results show that, while systems containing methane and primarily small paraffins show a Type I critical locus, those containing methane and appreciable amounts of large paraffins show a Type V critical locus. These results are consistent with experimental critical-locus data for C1–C3 (Type I) and those for C1–C6 (Type V).

The formation is composed of various materials and conductivity distribution within each material is heterogeneous. The distribution of materials in the study domain is characterized by an indicator function and the conductivity field within each material is assumed to be statistically stationary. Based on this assumption, the covariance function of log-hydraulic conductivity in the composite field is analytically derived and expressed in terms of the covariance of the indicator function and the statistics of log conductivity in every material. The NMM is used to investigate the effects of various uncertain parameters on flow and transport predictions in two case studies. It is shown from the case studies that the two-scale stochastic processes will both significantly influence the flow and transport predictions, especially for the variances of hydraulic head and solute fluxes. The case studies also show that the NMM can be used to study flow and transport in complex subsurface environments. In comparison with Monte Carlo simulation, NMM results are consistent with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation method even when the total variance of log conductivity is larger than 1.

To investigate compositional differences among proximate stone sources, 103 samples collected from five separate quarries were analysed by NAA. The results show Caen stone to be essentially pure calcite and relatively homogeneous, but distinction among quarries is possible by discriminant analysis. Comparing compositions of quarry samples with data in the Brookhaven Limestone Database identified the origin of stone used in masonry and sculpture at Saint-Étienne and La Trinité, Caen, and in several museum objects.

Expressed in terms of the neutrino energy density, we find 1.7 (95% CL). In particular, we show that phenomenological four neutrino models including a sterile state (not participating in SU(2)L×U(1)Y interactions) unavoidably thermalize a fourth neutrino, and are highly disfavored in the standard minimal model of primordial nucleosynthesis, if the systematic uncertainty in the primordial helium abundance is small. We describe plausible extensions of the minimal model which evade this constraint.

SN - 0004640X AB - We have discovered a new type of galaxy in the Fornax Cluster: `ultra-compact' dwarfs (UCDs). The UCDs are unresolved in ground-based imaging and have spectra typical of old stellar systems. Although the UCDs resemble overgrown globular clusters, based on VLT UVES echelle spectroscopy, they appear to be dynamically distinct systems with higher internal velocity dispersions and M/L ratios for a given luminosity than Milky Way or M31 globulars. Our preferred explanation for their origin is that they are the remnant nuclei of dwarf elliptical galaxies which have been tidally stripped, or `threshed' by repeated encounters with the central cluster galaxy, NGC1399. If correct, then tidal stripping of nucleated dwarfs to form UCDs may, over a Hubble time, be an important source of the plentiful globular cluster population in the halo of NGC1399, and, by implication, other cD galaxies. In this picture, the dwarf elliptical halo contents, up to 99% of the original dwarf luminosity, contribute a significant fraction of the populations of intergalactic stars, globulars, and gas in galaxy clusters.

Relativistic many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), including the Breit interaction, is used to evaluate retarded E1 matrix elements in length and velocity forms. The calculations start from a 1s22s22p6 Dirac–Fock potential. First-order MBPT is used to obtain intermediate coupling coefficients and second-order MBPT is used to calculate transition matrix elements. Contributions from negative-energy states are included in the second-order E1 matrix elements to ensure gauge-independence of transition amplitudes. Transition energies used in the calculation of oscillator strengths and transition rates are from second-order MBPT. Transition rates, line strengths, and oscillator strengths are compared with critically evaluated experimental values and with results from other recent calculations. We present data for selected transitions between 10 of the possible 73 even-parity 3s3p2, 3s23d states and 29 of the possible 75 odd-parity 3s23p, 3p3, and 3s3p3d states in Al-like ions. Trends of the transition rates as functions of Z are illustrated graphically for 220 of the 3220 possible transitions. Lifetimes of the 10 even-parity lower levels and the 27 odd-parity upper levels are given for Z=15–100.

MicroCT with 14 keV x-rays mapped the spatial distribution of mineral at the 1.3 µm level in a millimeter-sized fragment of a mature portion of the keel. Two rows of low absorption channels (i.e., primary channels) slightly less than 10 µm in diameter were found running linearly from the flange to the base of the keel and parallel to its sides. The primary channels paralleled the oral edge of the keel, and the microCT slices revealed a planar secondary channel leading from each primary channel to the side of the keel. The primary and secondary channels were more or less coplanar and may correspond to the soft tissue between plates of the carinar process. Transmission x-ray diffraction with 80.8 keV x-rays and a 0.1 mm beam mapped the distribution of calcite crystal orientations and the composition Ca1-xMgxCO3 of the calcite. Unlike the variable Mg concentration and highly curved prisms found in the keel of Paracentrotus lividus, a constant Mg content (x = 0.13) and relatively little prism curvature was found in the keel of Lytechinus variegatus.

The composites, each of which had the same urethane matrix, were produced by a rapid molding process suitable for high-volume automotive applications. The reinforcement for the first composite was a random chopped-glass fiber, while the remaining two were reinforced with stitch-bonded carbon-fiber mats, one in a crossply layup, and the other in a quasi-isotropic layup. A pendulum device, representative of events such as tool drops, and a gas-gun projectile, representative of events such as kickups of roadway debris, were used to impact plate specimens. Brick-drop tests were also performed to assess the applicability of the baseline pendulum and gas-gun data to other events. Following the impacts, the damage areas were measured and the plates were cut into either tensile, standard compressive, or compression-after-impact specimens for determining strength degradation. The glass-fiber composite was least susceptible to damage, followed by the crossply carbon-fiber laminate, which had the same thickness. The quasi-isotropic carbon-fiber composite, which was thinner than the other two, sustained the most damage. While compressive strength was significantly degraded by moderate damage in the random-glass-fiber composite, tensile strength was not. On the other hand, both tensile and compressive strengths were degraded in the crossply carbon-fiber laminate (only compressive strength loss was measured in the quasi-isotropic laminate). Compressive strength degradation for a given damage area was similar in the two carbon-fiber laminates. Both showed lesser degradation than did the glass-fiber composite. For the quasi-isotropic carbon-fiber laminate, it was shown that strength degradation produced by an open circular hole provides a reasonable lower bound to the degradation due to an impact damage area of the same size.

Application of pressure causes the structure to switch to a packing arrangement like that observed for the corresponding hydrogenous compound over the complete temperature range, with a higher pressure being required at lower temperatures. A pressure hysteresis occurs upon the release of pressure in the temperature range 303-275 K and below ~295 K the compound remains in the high pressure (high density) modification at 1 bar. As the temperature is raised from ~296 to 298 K, the structure reverts progressively to the low-pressure modification. Using the Clapeyron equation, an enthalpy ΔH of 259 cm-1 at 260 K was evaluated for the transition. With zero applied pressure, a negative temperature expansion coefficient is observed above 230 K, apparently due to an increasing thermal population of the high-density packing arrangement at higher temperatures.

The chert clasts were derived from the Senonian Mishash Formation, a chert-bearing chalk, which is widely exposed in the Nahal Zin drainage basin, the drainage system that supplied most of the material to the beach ridges. Simple exposure ages, assuming only exposure at the beach ridge sampling sites, range from 35 to 354 ky; using the ratio 26Al/10Be, total clast histories range from 0·46 to 4·3 My, unrelated to the clasts'' current position and exposure period on the late Pleistocene beach ridges, 160–177 m below sea level. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of fine sediments from the same and nearby beach ridges yielded ages of 20·0 ± 1·4 ka and 36·1 ± 3·3 ka. These ages are supported by the degree of soil development on the beach ridges and correspond well with previously determined ages of Lake Lisan, which suggest that the lake reached its highest stand around 27 000 cal. years BP. If the clasts were exposed only once and than buried beyond the range of significant cosmogenic nuclide production, then the minimum initial exposure and the total burial times before delivery to the beach ridge are in the ranges 50–1300 ky and 390–3130 ky respectively. Alternatively, the initial cosmogenic dosing could have occurred during steady erosion of the source bedrock. Back calculating such rates of rock erosion suggests values between 0·4 and 12 m My−1. The relatively long burial periods indicate extended sediment storage as colluvium on slopes and/or as alluvial deposits in river terraces. Some clasts may have been stored for long periods in abandoned Pliocene and early Pleistocene routes of Nahal Zin to the Mediterranean before being transported again back into the Nahal Zin drainage system and washed on to the shores of Lake Lisan during the late Pleistocene.

This development can be largely traced to a well-designed and carefully implemented renewables portfolio standard (RPS). The RPS is a new policy mechanism that has received increasing attention as an attractive approach to support renewable power generation. Though replacing existing renewable energy policies with an as-of-yet untested approach in the RPS is risky, early experience from Texas suggests that an RPS can effectively spur renewables development and encourage competition among renewable energy producers. Initial RPS targets in Texas were well exceeded by the end of 2001, with 915 MW of wind installed in that year alone. RPS compliance costs appear negligible with new wind projects reportedly contracted for well under 3(US)¢/kWh, in part as a result of a 1.7(US)¢/kWh production tax credit, an outstanding wind resource and an RPS that is sizable enough to drive project economies of scale. Obliged retail suppliers have been willing to enter into long-term contracts with renewable generators, reducing important risks for both the developer and the retail supplier. Finally, the country''s first comprehensive renewable energy certificate program has been put into place to monitor and track RPS compliance.

JO - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment JF - Environmental Monitoring & Assessment Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 84 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 5 EP - 18 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 01676369 AB - The objective of this study is to examine the effect of clay minerals (illite, montmorillonite, and kaolinite) on chromate (Cr(VI)) reduction by several low molecular weight organic compounds. Batch experiments at pH ranging from 3.0 to 6.0 and 25 °C showed that 2:1 layered clays illite and smectite catalyzed Cr(VI) reduction by oxalate. The catalytic effect increased as pH was decreased. The 1:1 clay kaolinite had no catalytic effect under comparable conditions. Direct Cr(VI) reduction by reactive moieties associated with illite and montmorillonite was observed, but at a much slower rate than the catalytic pathway. Cr(VI) reduction by glyoxylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid was accelerated by illite, although aqueous phase reduction might occur in parallel. These results suggest that Cr(VI) reduction rates in subsurface environments rich in organic compounds may be elevated through catalysis of surface-bound metals and/or soluble species from the clay minerals, and as a result, higher than those expected from aqueous phase reaction alone. Such rate enhancement for Cr(VI) reduction needs to be accounted for when developing new remedial techniques for chromium site remediation or assessing its natural attenuation.

SN - 14346044 AB - We present the machine parameters and physics capabilities of the CLIC Higgs Experiment (CLICHE), a low-energy γγ collider based on CLIC 1, the demonstration project for the higher-energy two-beam accelerator CLIC. CLICHE is conceived as a factory capable of producing around 20,000 light Higgs bosons per year. We discuss the requirements for the CLIC 1 beams and a laser backscattering system capable of producing a yy total (peak) luminosity of 2.0 (0.36) × 1034 cm-2s-1 with ECM(γγ) 115 GeV. We show how CLICHE could be used to measure accurately the mass, &bmacr;b, WW and γγ decays of a light Higgs boson. We illustrate how these measurements may distinguish between the Standard Model Higgs boson and those in supersymmetric and more general two-Higgs-doublet models, complementing the measurements to be made with other accelerators. We also comment on other prospects in γγ and e- γ physics with CLICHE.

Applications that give rise to such problems include determination of groundwater or airborne pollutant sources from measurements of concentrations, and identification of sources of chemical or biological attacks. To address ill-posedness of the problem, we employ Tikhonov and total variation regularization. We present a variational formulation of the first-order optimality system, which includes the initial-boundary value state problem, the final-boundary value adjoint problem, and the space–time boundary value source problem. We discretize in the space–time volume using Galerkin finite elements. Several examples demonstrate the influence of the density of the sensor array, the effectiveness of total variation regularization for discontinuous sources, the invertibility of the source as the transport becomes increasingly convection-dominated, the ability of the space–time inversion formulation to track moving sources, and the optimal convergence rate of the finite element approximation.

Heterozygotes compose 10–15% of the European-American population, and have evidence of elevated body iron compared to homozygous normal people. Dietary iron content was hypothesized to interact with the HFE genotype to influence oxidative damage in mammary and colon tissue. Two groups of HFE-knockout mice were fed a standard iron diet (300 ppm) or a low iron diet (30 ppm). There was a significantly elevated concentration of malondialdehyde (by HPLC) in mammary (305 pmol/g vs. 166, p = .04) and colon (349 pmol/g vs. 226, p = .02) tissue among those mice on the standard iron diet compared to those on the low iron diet. These results suggest that dietary modification may affect the course of iron overload from HFE mutations.

Recently published AFM step velocities extend this range further still. In an effort to understand the source of this variation, and to provide additional constraint from a new analytical approach, we have measured dissolution rates by vertical scanning interferometry. In areas of the calcite cleavage surface dominated by etch pits, our measured dissolution rate is 10−10.95 mol/cm2/s (PCO2 10−3.41 atm, pH 8.82), 5 to ∼100 times slower than published rates derived from bulk powder experiments, although similar to rates derived from AFM step velocities. On cleavage surfaces free of local etch pit development, dissolution is limited by a slow, “global” rate (10−11.68 mol/cm2/s). Although these differences confirm the importance of etch pit (defect) distribution as a controlling mechanism in calcite dissolution, they also suggest that “bulk” calcite dissolution rates observed in powder experiments may derive substantial enhancement from grain boundaries having high step and kink density. We also observed significant rate inhibition by introduction of dissolved manganese. At 2.0 μM Mn, the rate diminished to 10−12.4 mol/cm2/s, and the well formed rhombic etch pits that characterized dissolution in pure solution were absent. These results are in good agreement with the pattern of manganese inhibition in published AFM step velocities, assuming a step density on smooth terraces of ∼9 μm−1.

LAI is a key variable for regional and global models of biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of energy, carbon dioxide, water vapour, and other materials. Location The location is global, geographically distributed. Results Biomes with LAI values well represented in the literature included croplands, forests and plantations. Biomes not well represented were deserts, shrublands, tundra and wetlands. Nearly 40% of the records in the database were published in the past 10 years (1991–2000), with a further 20% collected between 1981 and 1990. Mean (± SD) LAI, distributed between 15 biome classes, ranged from 1.3 ± 0.9 for deserts to 8.7 ± 4.3 for tree plantations, with temperate evergreen forests (needleleaf and broadleaf) displaying the highest average LAI (5.1–6.7) among the natural terrestrial vegetation classes. Following a statistical outlier analysis, the global mean (± SD) LAI decreased from 5.2 (4.1) to 4.5 (2.5), with a maximum LAI of 18. Biomes with the highest LAI values were plantations > temperate evergreen forests > wetlands. Those with the lowest LAI values were deserts < grasslands < tundra. Mean LAI values for all biomes did not differ statistically by the methodology employed. Direct and indirect measurement approaches produced similar LAI results. Mean LAI values for all biomes combined decreased significantly in the 1990s, a period of substantially more studies and improved methodologies. Main conclusions Applications of the LAI database span a wide range of ecological, biogeochemical, physical, and climate research areas. The data provide input to terrestrial ecosystem and land-surface models, for evaluation of global remote sensing products, for comparisons to field studies, and other applications.

The RuO 2 films deposited at 700°C adopt epitaxial relationships with both substrates. The epitaxial films on (100) MgO consist of two variants with an orientation relationship given by (110) RuO 2 //(100) MgO and [001] RuO 2 //[011] MgO. The epitaxial films on (100) YSZ contain four variants with an orientation relationship given by (200) RuO 2 //(100) YSZ and [011] RuO 2 //[001] YSZ. The BST films deposited on the RuO 2 electrode are epitaxial on the (200) RuO 2 films deposited on YSZ, and non-epitaxial on the (110) RuO 2 films deposited on MgO. The epitaxial relationship between the BST and (200) RuO 2 films can be described as (111) BST//(200) RuO 2 and [1&1macr;0] BST//[011] RuO 2 . The BST films contain at least four variants. The growth and microstructural properties of the multi-layer structures can be understood based on geometrical consideration of the crystal structures.

The mechanism for this so-called halogen effect is based on the exclusive transport and subsequent oxidation of a gaseous aluminium-containing species in the inner region of the initially-formed scale to develop an Al2O3-rich protective layer. The present study verified this mechanism on the basis of thermodynamic calculations in the temperature range 700–1100 °C. The standard Gibbs energies of the most important reactions for the halogens F, Cl, Br, and I were considered and temperature-dependent halogen partial-pressure limits for the occurrence of the beneficial effect were determined. The lower partial-pressure limit was considered to be dictated by the minimum supply rate of aluminium necessary to sustain Al2O3 scale growth, while the upper limit was dictated by the competition between Al2O3 and TiO2 formation. The results from the chlorine calculations were used to estimate the number of chlorine atoms necessary at the alloy surface for the beneficial effect to operate.

In conventional solid oxide electrolyzers, most of the electric power is used in forcing the oxygen to diffuse through the electrolyzer, against a high chemical potential. In the NGASE, natural gas is reacted with the oxygen produced in the electrolysis, reducing the chemical potential across the electrolyzer, thus minimizing electricity consumption. The oxygen produced in the electrolysis is consumed in either a total oxidation or a partial oxidation reaction with natural gas. Experiments performed on single cells show a voltage reduction of as much as 1 V when compared to conventional steam electrolyzers. Analysis indicates that incorporating the electrolyzer with a heat recovery system (heat exchangers and catalytic reactor) results in a high-efficiency hydrogen production system. The system efficiency is up to 70% with respect to primary energy.

The 76.2-mm-diameter, 530-mm-long, ogive-nose projectiles were machined from 4340 RC45 steel and designed to contain a single-channel acceleration data recorder. Thus, we recorded acceleration during launch and deceleration during penetration. An 83-mm-diameter powder gun launched the 13 kg projectiles to striking velocities between 140 and 460 m/s. Measured penetration depths and deceleration-time data were analyzed with a previously published model. In addition, we compared the results of this study with results obtained from smaller diameter projectiles and this comparison suggested a projectile diameter scale effect.

The employed integrated computer model effectively links the advanced finite-element approach simulating metal flow and heat transfer during hot plastic deformation with the submodels describing complex microstructure development. It is proposed that a correct quantitative description of the microstructure allows the selection of processing parameters to control the microstructure inhomogeneity. The effective strain accumulated in the ferrite phase and temperature distributions were combined with the empirical formulas that enable calculation of ferrite grain size with separation between the two mechanisms of refinement process, i.e., transformation from hardened austenite and ferrite recrystallization. The predicted ferrite structures show reasonable agreement with those obtained in various experiments. Hence, the distribution of the mechanical properties will naturally be predicted based on the initial process conditions and using the proposed modeling procedure.

We validate this model using in situ, room temperature, micro-Raman spectroscopy fiber strain measurements. Multifiber composites were placed under constant load creep tests and the fiber strains were evaluated with time after one fiber break occurred. These composite specimens ranged in fiber volume fraction and strain level. Comparison between prediction and MRS measurements allows us to characterize key in situ material parameters, the critical matrix shear strain for inelastic zones and interfacial frictional slip shear stress. We find that the inelastic zone is predominately either shear yielding or interfacial slipping, and the type depends on the local fiber spacing.

Scaling laws JO - Journal of Aerosol Science JF - Journal of Aerosol Science Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 34 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 535 SN - 00218502 AB - An experimental investigation on the electrified co-axial jets of two immiscible liquids issuing from a structured Taylor cone (Science 295 (5560) (2002) 1695) has been carried out. The structure of these almost conical electrified menisci consists of an outer meniscus surrounding an inner one. The liquid threads which issue from the vertex of each one of the menisci give rise to a two-concentric layered jet whose eventual breakup results in an aerosol of relatively monodisperse compound droplets with the outer liquid encapsulating the inner one. The effect of the flow rates of both liquids on the current transported by these coaxial jets and on the size of the compound droplets has been investigated. Several couples of liquids have been used to explore the influence on the spraying process of the properties of the liquids: i.e. the electrical conductivity K, dielectric constant β, interfacial tension of the liquid couple γ, viscosity μ, etc. We have found that the measurements of the current emitted through the coaxial jet when they are made dimensionless fit satisfactorily the current scaling law of regular electrosprays. Data of the mean diameter of the compound droplets have been obtained using a non-intrusive laser system. As expected the breakup process and therefore the droplet size are strongly dependent on the liquid viscosities and on the ratio of the liquid flow rates.

Therefore, any pathological changes in these tissues generally necessitate detection through magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound technology. Until recently the development of an X-ray imaging technique that could detect both bone and soft tissues seemed unrealistic. However, the introduction of diffraction enhanced X-ray imaging (DEI) which is capable of rendering images with absorption, refraction and scatter rejection qualities has allowed detection of specific soft tissues based on small differences in tissue densities. Here we show for the first time that DEI allows high contrast imaging of soft tissues, including ligaments, tendons and adipose tissue, of the human foot and ankle.

In contrast to earlier models, this theory describes the nature of these deformations in the intermediate regime between the so-called JKR and DMT limits by simple analytic expressions. Equations for the calculation of the contact radius, the deformation, and the pressure distribution are given. In all equations, the critical force that might vary between the limiting values found in the DMT and the JKR model acts as transition parameter.

The single crystals usually have rectangular shape with the facets on basal plane and the {1 1 0} planes. The bi-layered Ca-ruthenate Ca3Ru2O7 occasionally contains twins with the boundary on {1 1 0} and a 1.8° tilt between the twinned region. The triple-layered Sr ruthenate Sr4Ru3O10 single crystal has a few atomic layers of SrRuO3 intergrowth. The mixed cation bi-layered compounds, (Ca1−xSrx)3Ru2O7 exhibit increased density of intergrowths with increased Sr content. The fault planes are on the basal plane at the rocksalt layers. It is suggested that the Sr2+ anions that have larger ionic size than the Ca2+ cations, promote the disordering during the crystallization nucleation.

T1 - Transport of multiple tracers in variably saturated humid region structured soils and semi-arid region laminated sediments JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 275 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 141 SN - 00221694 AB - The processes governing physical nonequilibrium (PNE)—coupled preferential flow and matrix diffusion—are diverse between humid and semi-arid regions, and are directly related to climate and rock/sediment type, and indirectly related to subsequent soil profile development. The fate and transport of contaminants in these variably saturated undisturbed media is largely a function of the influence of PNE processes. Large cores of laminated silts and sands were collected from the US Department of Energy Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in semi-arid south central Washington. Additional cores of weathered, fractured interbedded limestone and shale saprolite were collected from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in humid eastern Tennessee. PNNL cores were collected parallel (FBP) and perpendicular (FXB) to bedding, and the ORNL core was 30° to bedding. Saturated and unsaturated transport experiments were performed using multiple nonreactive tracers that had different diffusion coefficients (Br−, PFBA, and PIPES), in order to identify the influence of PNE on the fate and transport of solutes. In the ORNL structured saprolite, solute transport was governed by coupled preferential flow and matrix diffusion, as evidenced by tracer separation and highly asymmetric breakthrough curves (BTC). BTCs became more symmetric as preferential flowpaths became inactive during drainage. Tracer separation persisted during unsaturated flow suggesting the continued importance of nonequilibrium mass transfer between flowpaths and the immobile water that was held in the soil matrix. No evidence of PNE was observed under near-saturated conditions in the semi-arid region (PNNL) laminated silts and sands. Unsaturated flow in cores with discontinuous layering resulted in preferential flow and the development of perched, immobile water as evidenced by early breakthrough and separation of tracers. Conversely, transport parallel to laterally continuous beds did not result in preferential flow, the development of perched water, or tracer separation regardless of water content. These observations suggested that desaturation had two effects: (1) grain size variations between individual beds resulted in different antecedent water contents, and (2) the exchange of water and solutes between individual sedimentary beds was subsequently inhibited. Under unsaturated conditions, these effects may promote either stable lateral flow, or unstable vertical finger flow coupled with the development of perched, immobile water.

This renders the unsaturated flow equations stochastic. Determining statistics of pressure head statistics, ψ, is nontrivial, since the Richards equation is highly nonlinear. The prevalent approach is to linearize relative hydraulic conductivity, Kr(ψ), around the ensemble mean pressure head, 〈ψ〉, which often leads to significant errors. Recently, an approach has been proposed to avoid such a linearization for the Gardner model, Kr=exp(αψ), with the soil parameter α being a random variable. We generalize this approach by allowing α to be a random field. This is achieved by means of a partial mean-field approximation with respect to α(x). Using two-dimensional infiltration into a heterogeneous soil with uncertain hydraulic parameters as an example, we demonstrate that our predictions of the mean pressure head and its variance remain accurate for moderately variable αs. The robustness of our solutions increases with the correlation length of α.

The nonstationarity of flow stems from various sources, such as multi-scale, nonstationary medium features and complex hydraulic boundary conditions. These flow nonstationarities are beyond the applicable range of the ‘classical’ stochastic theory for stationary flow fields, but widely exist in natural media. In this study, the stochastic frames for flow and transport are developed through an analytical analysis while the solutions are obtained with a numerical method. This approach combines the stochastic concept with the flexibility of the numerical method in handling medium nonstationarity and boundary/initial conditions. It provides a practical way for applying stochastic theory to solute transport in complex groundwater environments. This approach is demonstrated through some synthetic cases of solute transport in multi-scale media as well as some hypothetical scenarios of solute transport in the groundwater below the Yucca Mountain project area. It is shown that the spatial variations of mean log-conductivity and correlation function significantly affect the mean and variance of solute flux. Even for a stationary medium, complex hydraulic boundary conditions may result in a nonstationary flow field. Flow nonstationarity and/or nonuniform distribution of initial plume (geometry and/or density) may lead to nonGaussian behaviors (with multiple peaks) for mean and variance of the solute flux. The calculated standard deviation of solute flux is generally larger than its mean value, which implies that real solute fluxes may significantly deviate from the mean predictions.

Decay times and luminosities were measured using powder samples and crystals and a pulsed X-ray facility capable of a time resolution of ∼60 ps. In both materials, near-band-edge exciton lines and broad emission bands shifted to lower energies are observed. The X-ray excited scintillations exhibit fast (ns), nonexponential decays. The rise and decay rates of the broad emission bands decrease with increasing wavelength characteristic of donor–acceptor pair emission. With increasing temperature, the luminosities decrease much faster than the fwhm decay lifetimes. Therefore the reduction in luminosity is not due primarily to thermal quenching of the excited states but to thermally activated trapping of charge carriers on nonradiative recombination centers.

This may be connected with the transport and sequential capture of charge carriers at or near the Ce3+ ion.

Some of the difficulties in developing a universal method include the physical differences between the major pathogen groups (viruses, bacteria, protozoa), efficiently concentrating large volume water samples to detect low target concentrations of certain pathogen groups, removing co-concentrated inhibitors from the sample, and standardizing a culture-independent endpoint detection method. Integrating the disparate technologies into a single, universal, simple method and detection system would represent a significant advance in public health and microbiological water quality analysis. Recent advances in sample collection, on-line sample processing and purification, and DNA microarray technologies may form the basis of a universal method to detect known and emerging waterborne pathogens. This review discusses some of the challenges in developing a universal pathogen detection method, current technology that may be employed to overcome these challenges, and the remaining needs for developing an integrated pathogen detection and monitoring system for source or finished water.

The HCBr radical was formed by 193 nm excimer laser photolysis of bromoform. We found no signals from HCBr when the photolysis laser wavelength was changed to 248 nm, although strong CH product emission was observed by eye at both wavelengths. Most of the spectra were recorded in absorption at ambient temperature in a long-path absorption cell using a single frequency Ti:sapphire laser as the light source, but some congested sections were recorded under jet-cooled conditions. Analysis yielded accurate values for the vibrational fundamentals and rotational constants for the vibrationally excited ground state levels determined. A combination of experimental measurements and ab initio vibration–rotation constants was used to estimate equilibrium parameters and a ground state structure for HCBr.

About 1000 lines were observed in this region of which 491 transitions could be definitively assigned to the 2ν1. The spectrum is observed to be an A/B hybrid band with band features of both a perpendicular and parallel nature. Transitions of the A-type bands with Ka′=0–3, N′⩽16 and transitions of the B-type bands with Ka′=0,1, N′⩽15 were assigned. The origin calculated from the best fit to the present spectrum is at 6651.1876(38) cm−1 which is ∼4.6 cm−1 higher than previously reported. The overtone spectrum is observed to be heavily perturbed, possibly by Fermi resonance with energy levels of the nearby (ν2+5ν3) state.

It was not possible to prepare homogeneous, stable glasses of compositions 0.85⩽x⩽0.95 due to a strong exothermic enthalpy of mixing between the B2S3 and B2O3 phases. Raman and 11B NMR spectroscopies, used to characterize the structure of the glasses, show that the boron oxide structures of B2O3 especially the six-membered (thioboroxol) rings, quickly diminish with increasing sulfide content, whereas the corresponding sulfide structures in B2S3 remain relatively intense as the oxide content is increased. Differential scanning calorimetry and density measurements, used to characterize the physical properties of the glasses, show that the physical properties of these boron oxysulfide glasses heavily favor the B2S3 properties regardless of the amount of B2O3 added to the system. It is hypothesized that the stability of the thioboroxol ring group relative to that of the BS3/2 trigonal group is a possible source of this behavior. The large heat of mixing for B2O3 rich glasses is associated with the formation of new mixed boron oxysulfide structures of composition BSiO3−i where 0.

Together, these techniques provided a comprehensive set of tools for observing and characterizing the structure and evolution of radiation-induced defects in SiC as a function of irradiation temperature and dose. In this study, two types of dense, crystalline, monolithic SiC were subjected to irradiation doses up to 1 dpa-SiC at a temperature of 1100 °C, as well as post-irradiation annealing up to 1500 °C. The microscopic defect structures observed by TEM were correlated to changes in the macroscopic dimensions, thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity. The results demonstrated the value of using ultrapure β-SiC as an effective reference material to characterize the nature of expected radiation damage in other, more complex, SiC-based materials such as SiC/SiC composites.

The lithium hydroxide grains thermally decomposed into Li2O, releasing H2O, following a three dimensional phase boundary moving from the surface inward. The energy barriers measured for the decomposition of surface and near-surface lithium hydroxide are noticeably smaller than those of bulk counterpart. The conversion of Li2O grains back to lithium hydroxide during moisture exposure was also found to proceed from the surface inward such that surface states are filled before bulk states. In a different set of experiments, nanometer-scale composite grains composed of LiD inner cores and LiOH outer layers were observed to form on top of pressed polycrystalline LiD upon moisture exposure. A diffusion coefficient on the order of 10−23 m2/s was measured for the diffusion controlled reaction of LiOH with LiD in the nanopowder at room temperature in a dry environment. The measured kinetics were used to model the evolution of the LiD/LiOH composite system in a dry environment.

As part of an investigation of these issues, we have developed MPICH-G2, a Grid-enabled implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) that allows a user to run MPI programs across multiple computers, at the same or different sites, using the same commands that would be used on a parallel computer. This library extends the Argonne MPICH implementation of MPI to use services provided by the Globus Toolkit for authentication, authorization, resource allocation, executable staging, and I/O, as well as for process creation, monitoring, and control. Various performance-critical operations, including startup and collective operations, are configured to exploit network topology information. The library also exploits MPI constructs for performance management; for example, the MPI communicator construct is used for application-level discovery of, and adaptation to, both network topology and network quality-of-service mechanisms. We describe the MPICH-G2 design and implementation, present performance results, and review application experiences, including record-setting distributed simulations.

T1 - Coupled fluid flow and geomechanical deformation modeling JO - Journal of Petroleum Science & Engineering JF - Journal of Petroleum Science & Engineering Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 38 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 37 SN - 09204105 AB - Accurate prediction of reservoir production in structurally weak geologic areas requires both mechanical deformation and fluid flow modeling. Loose staggered-in-time coupling of two independent flow and mechanics simulators captures much of the complex physics at a substantially reduced cost. Two 3-D finite element simulators—Integrated Parallel Accurate Reservoir Simulator (IPARS) for flow and JAS3D for mechanics—together model multiphase fluid flow in reservoir rocks undergoing deformation ranging from linear elasticity to large, nonlinear inelastic compaction. The loose coupling algorithm uses a high-level driver to call the flow simulator for a set of time steps with fixed reservoir properties. Pore pressures from flow are used as loads for the geomechanics code in the determination of stresses, strains, and displacements. The mechanics-derived strain is used to calculate changes to the reservoir parameters (porosity and permeability) for the next set of flow time steps. Mass is conserved in the coupled code despite dynamically changing reservoir parameters via a modification to the Newton system for the flow equations, and an approximate rock compressibility becomes a useful preconditioner to help with convergence of the modified flow equations. Two numerical experiments illustrate the accuracy of the coupled code. The first example is a quarter-five-spot waterflood undergoing poroelastic deformation, which is validated against a fully coupled simulator. Vertical displacements at the well locations match to within 10%. Moreover, experimentation shows that 13 mechanics time steps (taken over the course of 5 years of simulation time) were sufficient to achieve this result (a substantial cost savings over full coupling in which both the mechanics and flow equations must be solved at each time step). The second numerical example is based on real data from the Belridge Field in California, which illustrates one of the complex plastic constitutive relationships available in the coupled code. The results mimic behavior which was observed in the field. The coupled code serves as a prototype for loosely coupling together any two preexisting simulators modeling diverse physics. This technique produces a coupled code relatively quickly and inexpensively and has the advantage of accurately modeling complex nonlinear phenomena often observed in a real field but difficult to capture with a fully coupled simulator. Further, the code has produced promising results when used for time-lapse studies of compactible reservoirs.

This observation is consistent with the reactions carried out earlier with other olefins. Both of the absolute rates of addition to vinylbutyl ether and vinyl butyrate, in acetone and hexane, were measured at several temperatures. The relative rates are consistent with only modest stabilization of the transition state of the radical adduct by the α-O substituent compared with that of hydrogen atom addition to 1-octene. The relative rates measured in acetone and hexane indicate no significant differential solvation of the ground state relative to the transition structures of the hydrogen atom addition. The kinetics reveal that the early transition states for hydrogen atom addition exhibit little selectivity (vinyl ether versus simple olefin) in either the abstraction of hydrogen α to the oxygen or by terminal addition to the olefinic ether and reflects the modest influence of the increased enthalpy of reaction associated with resonance stabilization by the oxygen substituent at the developing radical site.

The calculated results show that both the thermal motion and bulk solvent effects can qualitatively change the relative thermodynamic stability of different structures of the hydrated electron on the basis of a cluster of a given size, and that the most stable structure in solution is not necessarily the most stable one in the gas phase. For a given number of explicitly included solvent water molecules, the most stable structure in solution reveals a unique feature of the chemical nature of the solvated electron in water, i.e., the electron forms two strong electron-hydrogen bonds of the e-···HO type with the hydrogen-bonded water cluster and two of the hydrogen bonds in the neutral water cluster are broken. On the basis of the most stable structures, the calculated electronic excitation energies are within the observed absorption range of the hydrated electron in water. The absolute hydration free energy of the solvated electron in water has been calculated to be -35.5 kcal/mol by using a reliable computational protocol of first-principles solvation-included electronic structure calculations. This value is in excellent agreement with a recently obtained value of -34.6 kcal/mol. The predicted ΔGhyd298(e-) value of -35.5 kcal/mol, when combined with our previously predicted ΔGhyd298(H+) value of -262.4 kcal/mol and ΔGhyd298(HO-) value of -104.5 kcal/mol by using the same computational protocol, gives ΔGhyd298(e-) + ΔGhyd298(H+) = -297.9 kcal/mol and ΔGhyd298(e-) - ΔGhyd298(HO-) = 69.0 kcal/mol, in excellent agreement with the corresponding values derived from experimental data.

Our results show that higher-energy phases, such as the bcc structure for Al, Cu and Ti and the fcc structure for Nb, Mo, Ta and W, are always unstable with respect to one or more of transformation modes. Some local minima along the total energy profiles are found to correspond to the structures not dictated by the symmetry. We discuss the most interesting problem why a higher-energy phase may be stabilized in a pseudomorphic film.

The effect of each of these three parameters on the time-averaged pressure difference across the transition and the acoustic power dissipation is explored by holding two parameters fixed while varying the third. Evidence is presented that the losses due to oscillatory flow in this geometry are smaller than would be expected from commonly accepted values for steady flow in similar geometry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

J. Devaney, ''Super-resolution imaging using time-reversal and MUSIC,'' J. Acoust. Soc. Am. (to be published)] is generalized to the case where the transmitter and receiver sensor arrays need not be coincident and for cases where the background medium can be nonreciprocal. The new theory developed herein is based on the singular value decomposition of the generalized multistatic data matrix of the sensor system rather than the standard eigenvector/eigenvalue decomposition of the time-reversal matrix as was employed in the above-mentioned work and other treatments of time-reversal imaging [Prada, Thomas, and Fink, ''The iterative time reversal process: Analysis of the convergence,'' J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97, 62 ~1995!; Prada et al., ''Decomposition of the time reversal operator: Detection and selective focusing on two scatterers,'' J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 2067 (1996)]. A generalized multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is derived that allows super-resolution imaging of both well-resolved and non-well-resolved point targets from arbitrary sensor array geometries. MUSIC exploits the orthogonal nature of the scatterer and noise subspaces defined by the singular vectors of the multistatic data matrix to form scatterer images. The time-reversal/MUSIC algorithm is tested and validated in two computer simulations of offset vertical seismic profiling where the sensor sources are aligned along the earth's surface and the receiver array is aligned along a subsurface borehole. All results demonstrate the high contrast, high resolution imaging capabilities of this new algorithm combination when compared with ''classical'' backpropagation or field focusing. Above and beyond the application of seismo-acoustic imaging, the time-reversal super-resolution theory has applications in ocean acoustics for target location, and ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation of parts.

The methodology utilizes time resolved limited proteolysis and the high throughput analysis capability of MALDI TOF MS to determine the binding site in a tetanus toxin C-fragment (51 kDa)-doxorubicin (543 Da) non-covalent complex. Comparing relative ion abundances of peptides released from the time resolved limited proteolysis of tetanus toxin C-fragment (TetC) and the TetC-doxorubicin complex every 10 min from 10 to 120 min of digestion revealed that the binding of doxorubicin induced a significant change in surface topology of TetC. Four of the twenty-nine peptides observed by MALDI MS, including amino acids 351–360, 299–304, 305–311 and 312–316, had a lower abundance in the TetC-doxorubicin complex relative to TetC from 10 to 100 min of digestion. A decrease in ion abundance suggests doxorubicin obstructs the access of the protease to one or both termini of these peptides, identifying doxorubicin binding site(s). Conversely, five peptide ions, including amino acids 335–350, 364–375, 364–376, 281–298, and 316–328, all had a greater abundance in the digest of the complex, indicating an increase in accessibility to these sites. These five peptides flank regions of decreased ion abundance, suggesting that doxorubicin not only binds to the surface, but also induces a conformational change in TetC.

Porosity and matrix permeability measurements and petrographic examination of the cores were used to evaluate the effects of lithology and hydrothermal alteration on porosity and permeability. The intervals studied in these two core holes span the conductive zone and the upper portion of the convective geothermal reservoir. Variations in porosity and matrix permeability observed in the Y-5 and Y-8 cores are primarily controlled by lithology. Y-8 intersects three distinct lithologies: volcaniclastic sandstone, perlitic rhyolitic lava, and non-welded pumiceous ash-flow tuff. The sandstone typically has high permeability and porosity, and the tuff has very high porosity and moderate permeability, while the perlitic lava has very low porosity and is essentially impermeable. Hydrothermal self-sealing appears to have generated localized permeability barriers within the reservoir. Changes in pressure and temperature in Y-8 correspond to a zone of silicification in the volcaniclastic sandstone just above the contact with the perlitic rhyolite; this silicification has significantly reduced porosity and permeability. In rocks with inherently low matrix permeability (such as densely welded ash-flow tuff), fluid flow is controlled by the fracture network. The Y-5 core hole penetrates a thick intracaldera section of the 0.6-Ma Lava Creek ash-flow tuff. In this core, the degree of welding appears to be responsible for most of the variations in porosity, matrix permeability, and the frequency of fractures and veins. Fractures are most abundant within the more densely welded sections of the tuff. However, the most prominent zones of fracturing and mineralization are associated with hydrothermal breccias within densely welded portions of the tuff. These breccia zones represent transient conduits of high fluid flow that formed by the explosive release of overpressure in the underlying geothermal reservoir and that were subsequently sealed by supersaturated geothermal fluids. In addition to this fracture sealing, hydrothermal alteration at Yellowstone appears generally to reduce matrix permeability and focus flow along fractures, where multiple pulses of fluid flow and self-sealing have occurred.

The system employs spatially and temporally patterned illumination produced by one of several mechanisms, including a micromirror array video projection device driven by a computer video source or a microlens array scanned by a piezo actuator in the microscope illumination path. A series of subsampled “component” video images are acquired from a solid-state video camera. Confocal images are digitally reconstructed using “virtual pinhole” synthetic aperture techniques applied to the collection of component images. Unlike conventional confocal techniques that raster scan a single detector and illumination point, our system samples multiple locations in parallel, with particular advantages for monitoring fast dynamic processes. We compared methods of patterned illumination and confocal image reconstruction by characterizing the point spread function, contrast, and intensity of imaged objects. Sample 3D reconstructions include a diatom and a Golgi-stained nerve cell collected in transmission.

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 45 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 340 EP - 352 SN - 00953628 AB - In terrestrial ecosystems, changes in environmental conditions that affect plant performance cause a cascade of effects through many trophic levels. In a 2-year field study, seasonal abundance measurements were conducted for fast-growing bacterial heterotrophs, humate-degrading actinomycetes, fungal heterotrophs, and fluorescent pseudomonads that represent the decomposers in soil. Links between plant health and soil microbiota abundance in pinyon rhizospheres were documented across two soil types: a dry, nutrient-poor volcanic cinder field and a sandy-loam soil. On the stressful cinder fields, we identified relationships between soil decomposer abundance, pinyon age, and stress due to insect herbivory. Across seasonal variation, consistent differences in microbial decomposer abundance were identified between the cinders and sandy-loam soil. Abundance of bacterial heterotrophs and humate-degrading actinomycetes was affected by both soil nutritional status and the pinyon rhizosphere. In contrast, abundance of the fungal heterotrophs and fluorescent pseudomonads was affected primarily by the pinyon rhizosphere. On the cinder field, the three bacterial groups were more abundant on 150-year-old trees than on 60-year-old trees, whereas fungal heterotrophs were unaffected by tree age. Fungal heterotrophs and actinomycetes were more abundant on insect-resistant trees than on susceptible trees, but the opposite was true for the fluorescent pseudomonads. Although all four groups were present in all the environments, the four microbial groups were affected differently by the pinyon rhizosphere, by tree age, and by tree stress caused by the cinder soil and insect herbivory.

Crystal structures of soluble, N-terminally truncated pilin from Vibrio cholera toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) and full-length PAK pilin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveal a novel TCP fold, yet a shared architecture for the type IV pilins. In each pilin subunit a conserved, extended, N-terminal α helix wrapped by β strands anchors the structurally variable globular head. Inside the assembled pilus, characterized by cryo-electron microscopy and crystallography, the extended hydrophobic α helices make multisubunit contacts to provide mechanical strength and flexibility. Outside, distinct interactions of adaptable heads contribute surface variation for specificity of pilus function in antigenicity, motility, adhesion, and colony formation.

The association domain forms a hub-like assembly, composed of two rings of seven protomers each, which are stacked head to head and held together by extensive interfaces. The tetradecameric organization of the assembly was confirmed by analytical ultracentrifugation and multiangle light scattering. Individual protomers form wedge-shaped structures from which N-terminal helical segments that connect to the kinase domain extend toward the equatorial plane of the assembly, consistent with the arrangement of the kinase domains in a second outer ring. A deep and highly conserved pocket present within the association domain may serve as a docking site for proteins that interact with CaMKII.

The helical nanosprings were observed in the middle of a straight nanowire and were formed by a perturbation during the growth of the straight nanowire. Contraction and expansion of the helical nanosprings were observed under in situ electron beam heating during TEM, as well as bending induced by an AFM tip, suggesting that the helical nanosprings are highly flexible and may have potential applications in nanomechanical, nanoelectronmagnetic devices, and composite materials.

T1 - Nonlinear thin shell instabilities in molecular clouds JO - New Astronomy JF - New Astronomy Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 8 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 295 SN - 13841076 AB - Observations of molecular clouds point to the existence of supersonic, turbulent flows. Therefore, any theory which attempts to describe molecular cloud evolution and star formation must include a consideration of the dynamics of colliding flows. Previous studies have considered the collision of supersonic streams or clouds. The resultant instabilities provide a mechanism which may give rise to observable cloud morphologies and enhance the star formation rate. One such instability is the nonlinear thin shell instability (NTSI) of a shock-bounded slab. This process is driven by ram pressure and efficient cooling. In this study, I use numerical simulations to examine the head-on collision of supersonic gas streams in a cold, molecular gas. A dense slab forms in the collision midplane and is prone to a number of instabilities, including the NTSI. The thermodynamic processes involved are found to have a controlling influence upon the instability and fragmentation of the slab. Although some minimal amount of cooling is needed to drive the instability, too rapid a cooling rate gives rise to smaller wavelength instabilities which wipe out the NTSI. The growth rate of the NTSI in a gas undergoing molecular cooling corresponds to a timescale of order 1012 s, in general agreement with the theoretical value for an isothermal gas. The NTSI may provide a viable mechanism for the instigation of rapid star formation.

Novel technical issues for such a system include disruption of the mercury jet by the proton beam and distortion of the jet on entering the solenoid, as well as more conventional issues of materials lifetime and handling of activated materials in an intense radiation environment. As part of the R&D program of the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration, an R&D effort related to targetry is being performed within the context of experiment E951 at Brookhaven National Laboratory, first results of which are reported here.

The large transverse and longitudinal admittances which must be designed into the system and the rapidity with which acceleration must take place because of muon decay preclude the use of conventional synchrotron design. The current baseline is a recirculating linac (RLA) in the shape of a racetrack with separate fixed-field arcs for each acceleration turn. However, RLAs have proved costly and are a potential bottleneck, at least with respect to the storage ring. Therefore, another approach, the fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator, is being actively pursued. This paper discusses the FFAG option and progress.

In the presented scenario, acceleration starts after ionization cooling at 210 MeV/c and proceeds to 20 GeV, where the beam is injected into a neutrino factory storage ring. The key technical issues are addressed, such as the choice of acceleration technology (superconducting versus normal conducting) and the choice of RF frequency, and finally, implementation of the overall acceleration scheme: capture, acceleration, transport and preservation of large phase space of fast decaying species. Beam transport issues for large-momentum-spread beams are accommodated by appropriate lattice design choices. The proposed arc optics is further optimized with a sextupole correction to suppress chromatic effects contributing to emittance dilution. The presented proof-of-principle design of the arc optics with horizontal separation of multipass beams is extended for all passes.

In muon ionization cooling, an LH2 absorber is required to have a high cooling power greater than 100 W to cool heat deposited by muons passing through. That heat in LH2 can be removed at either external or internal heat exchangers, which are cooled by cold helium gas. As one of the internal heat exchanger types, a convection-type absorber is proposed. In the convection-type absorber, heat is taken away by the convection of LH2 in the absorber. The heat exchanger efficiency for the convection-type absorber is calculated. A possible design is presented.

A simple set of differential equations that governs the evolution of both the transverse and longitudinal emittances is derived, and closed-form solutions are given. Two new significant heating processes have been identified. This theory is analogous to the standard linear theory in electron storage rings. Multiple scattering integrals and energy straggling integrals, quantities like the synchrotron radiation integrals, are introduced to specify the cooling process and the equilibrium emittances in a periodic cooling channel.

The 20-GeV designs presented in this paper supplement the lattice developed at BNL for the Feasibility II Study of a Neutrino Factory (BNL-52623, June 2001). The principal difference between these designs is the use of an unconventional type of magnet in the Feasibility II Study design and of conventional magnets in the ones presented here.

The first RIB experiments at the HRIBF were completed at the end of 1998 using 17F beams. Since then other proton-rich ion beams have been developed and a large number of neutron-rich ion beams are now available. The neutron-rich radioactive nuclei are produced via proton-induced fission of uranium in a low-density matrix of uranium carbide. Recently developed RIBs include 25Al from a silicon carbide target and isobarically pure beams of neutron-rich Ge, Sn, Br and I isotopes from a uranium carbide target.

A new technique is presented, which reduces the momentum spread significantly, and first experimental results obtained with relativistic projectile fragments are shown. This technique is the key to experiments with slowed-down and stopped beams, in particular for the efficient stopping of relativistic exotic nuclei in gas-filled stopping cells. It will be employed at the energy-buncher stage of the low-energy branch of the Super-FRS facility. The ion-optical design of the energy buncher is presented and a brief outlook to the experimental program is given.

The ion optics of the large acceptance, high-resolution fragment separators that follow the production target require primary beam spot widths of 1 mm. To cope with the resulting high power densities, windowless liquid lithium targets are being developed. The present designs build on existing experience with liquid lithium and liquid sodium systems that have been used for fusion and fission applications. However, no completely windowless systems have been developed or tested to date. For the beam power indicated above (400 kW), the flow requirements are up to about 20 m/s and 10 l/s linear and volume flow rates, respectively. The required target thickness is 1–1.5 g/cm2 (2–3 cm lithium thickness). At this time a prototype windowless system with a lithium thickness of 1–2 cm is under construction. The prototype will be operated initially without beam in the Argonne liquid lithium test facility. The details of the design of the prototype and a progress report on its construction and testing will be presented.

This target will use beryllium windows with flowing lithium. The lithium serves as a part of the target as well as the coolant. Up to 1 kW of beam power is dissipated in the target and is carried away by the recirculating liquid lithium loop. It is designed for high power beams in the mass range from oxygen to calcium. Tapered beryllium windows combined with a uniform thickness lithium channel gives an overall target thickness ranging from 0.7 to 3 g/cm2, which is adjusted by moving the target vertically. The target system design is complete and is described in this paper.

T1 - A post-accelerator for the US rare isotope accelerator facility JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 204 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 433 SN - 0168583X AB - The proposed rare isotope accelerator (RIA) facility includes a post-accelerator for rare isotopes (RIB linac) which must produce high-quality beams of radioactive ions over the full mass range, including uranium, at energies above the Coulomb barrier, and have high transmission and efficiency. The latter requires the RIB linac to accept at injection ions in the 1+ charge state. A concept for such a post accelerator suitable for ions up to mass 132 has been previously described . This paper presents a modified concept which extends the mass range to uranium. A high resolution separator for purifying beams at the isobaric level precedes the RIB linac. The mass filtering process will provide high purity beams while preserving transmission. For most cases a resolution of about m/Δm=20 000 is adequate at mass A=100 to obtain a separation between isobars of mass excess difference of 5 MeV. The design for a device capable of purifying beams at the isobaric level includes calculations up to fifth order.The RIB linac will utilize existing superconducting heavy-ion linac technology for all but a small portion of the accelerator system. The exceptional piece, a very-low-charge-state injector section needed for just the first few MV of the RIB accelerator, consists of a pre-buncher followed by several sections of cw, normally-conducting RFQ. Two stages of charge stripping are provided: helium gas stripping at energies of a few keV/u, and additional foil stripping at ∼680 keV/u for the heavier ions. In extending the mass range to uranium, however, for best efficiency the helium gas stripping must be performed at different energies for different mass ions. We present numerical simulations of the beam dynamics of a design for the complete RIB linac which provides for several stripping options and uses cost-effective solenoid focusing elements in the drift-tube linac.

Light radioactive isotopes are produced at a 10 MeV proton medical cyclotron, transported 350 m via a high-speed gas transport capillary, cryogenically separated, and injected into the 88-Inch Cyclotron’s ion source. The first radioactive beam successfully accelerated was carbon-11 and beams of intensity more than 108 ions/s have been utilized for experiments.Development of oxygen-14 as the second BEARS beam presented considerable technical challenges, both due to its short half-life of 71 s and the radiation chemistry of oxygen in the target. The usual techniques developed for medical uses of oxygen-15 involve the addition of significant amounts of carrier oxygen, something that would overload the ion source.As a solution, oxygen-14 is produced as water in a carrier-free form, and is chemically converted in two steps to carbon dioxide, a form readily usable by the BEARS. This system has been built and is operational, and initial tests of accelerating an oxygen-14 beam have been performed.

Modifications to the injection system of the CPT have been implemented in recent months, the purpose being to more efficiently collect and transfer weakly-produced reaction products from the target to the Penning trap. These include a magnetic triplet situated after the target chamber to increase the acceptance of the Enge spectrograph, a velocity filter to more effectively separate the beam from the reaction products and the replacement of the Paul trap with a linear trap resulting in more efficient capture and accumulation of ions from the ion cooler. This paper will discuss these recent modifications and how they have increased our ability in making mass measurements on isotopes of low abundance, including those from a 252Cf fission source.

T1 - Development and operation of gas catchers to thermalize fusion–evaporation and fragmentation products JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 204 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 582 SN - 0168583X AB - A new approach to the production of low energy radioactive beams involves the stopping of fast beams produced by fragmentation, in-flight fission or fusion–evaporation reaction into a large gas catcher where the reaction products are thermalized in high-purity helium and extracted as singly charged ions for post-acceleration. This removes the limitation present in standard ISOL technique for species that are difficult to extract from the target/ion source assembly. This approach has been implemented at Argonne since 1998 to inject fusion–evaporation products in an ion trap system. Via a series of improvements since then, we now reach efficiencies for these devices of close to 50% with delay times below 10 ms. In preparation for the RIA project, a larger device for stopping fragmentation products is in preparation. The basic principles behind these devices together with results obtained and experience gained operating these devices will be presented. Preparation for a test of the large gas cell at the full RIA energy at GSI will also be presented.

Alkali-metal beams are longitudinally polarized by optical pumping of a fast atomic beam, which is created by charge exchange of the incident ion beam in a Na vapour cell. At ISAC, the beam is then reionized in a He gas target and directed to the experiments. To date, 30 keV beams of 8Li and 9Li have been polarized, and 11Li and 20Na beams are scheduled immediately following this conference. The polarization of the 8Li beam, using a dual frequency, standing wave Ti:sapphire laser, is up to ∼80%. High polarization is achieved by matching the laser bandwidth to the energy spread in the beam. The status of the facility is reported.

RIA aims at producing intense beams of radioactive isotopes and providing them to experimental stations with energy variable from ion source energy to a few hundred MeV/u. To perform this task, RIA will use standard ISOL and fragmentation techniques together with novel approaches combining advantages of both techniques to obtain high quality beams of the produced isotopes at all energy regimes.RIA will use these approaches in combination with a novel 400 kW superconducting heavy-ion driver linac to produce the activity and a very efficient post-acceleration scheme based on low-frequency RFQs injecting an ATLAS-like superconducting linac to obtain maximum intensity and excellent beam quality at the experimental stations. The development of the RIA concept required new ideas and significant technical advances. The technical issues with this versatile high-power facility and their present solutions will be presented together with the present status of the R&D efforts and the performance obtained with various prototypes that have been completed.

The study of the chiral limit is facilitated by the pole-shifting ansatz of the modified quenched approximation. Pseudoscalar masses and decay constants are determined as a function of quark mass and quenched chiral log effects are estimated. A study of the flavor singlet ν′ hairpin diagram yields a precise determination of the ν′ mass insertion. The corresponding value of the quenched chiral log parameter b is compared with the observed QCL effects. Removal of QCL effects from the scalar propagator allows a determination of the mass of the lowest lying isovector scalar qq meson.

By maintaining chiral symmetry and using the Ward-Takahashi (WT) identity, one has ZA = ZV and the bare lattice calculation yields the physical value without explicit renormalization. The DBW2 improved gauge action provides further enhancement of the symmetry and hence a more accurate WT identity at coarse lattice spacing. Taking advantage of these methods, we confirmed a significant volume dependence of the nucleon axial charge on (1.2fm)3 and (2.4fm)3 lattice volumes.

At some μ1 = μc QCD has a second order transition with mean-field critical exponents to a state where (I3) is broken spontaneously by a charged pion condensate. Heating the system with μI > μc we find there is some temperature at which this condensate evaporates. This transition appears to be second order and mean-field at lower μI values, and first order for μI sufficiently large. We are determining the dependence of the finite temperature crossover Tc on μI for μI < μc. This is expected to be identical to Tc''s dependence on quark-number chemical potential μq for small μq.

Simulations on 169 lattices indicate that at zero T the theory experiences a second order phase transition to a diquark condensate state which is well described by mean field theory. Nonzero T and μ are studied on 123 × 6 lattices. For low T, increasing μ takes the system through a line of second order phase transitions to a diquark condensed phase. Increasing T at high μ, the system passes through a line of first order transitions from the diquark phase to the quark-gluon plasma phase.

The two-point functions for very small quark masses are compared with expectations from the small-volume chiral perturbation theory and the presence of fermionic zero modes.

T1 - Initiation of rapidly expanding supercritical fluids JO - Physica A JF - Physica A Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 322 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 55 SN - 03784371 AB - We consider the case when a supercritical fluid emerges at sonic speed from a small orifice in a high pressure chamber. The subsequent expansion causes a pressure drop and the fluid then enters a regime where its equation of state in PV space becomes concave towards the origin. This is the signal for an expansion shock to occur in a non-ideal fluid, accompanied by absorption of the heat of vaporization. An analytic calculation provides the shape and location of this anti-detonation front using Whitham''s method. Dependence of the shape of the front on various operating conditions was calculated for the particular case of supercritical carbon dioxide. Our results provide an insight into the initiation of the rapid expansion of supercritical solutions, a process which is used in many manufacturing technologies.

The normal behaviour is a single crossover between the well-known critical power law ms∼(Tc−T)β and one analytical dependence according to ms=1−c×Tϵ which holds for all lower temperatures. A more complicated situation results if strength or anisotropy of the exchange interactions change strongly as a function of temperature. This can induce further crossover events with discrete changes either of the coefficient c or of the exponent ϵ. Except for the temperatures in the vicinity of the crossover the critical power law and one (or more) empirical functions with definite exponents ϵ give an excellent description of the whole experimental ms(T) dependence.

The measurements of XANES, thermopower, and magnetization under external pressure reveal an underdoped character of all compounds. Muon spin rotation experiments indicate the presence of magnetic order at low temperatures (Tm=14–2 K for x=0.1–0.4). Properties of these two series lead us to the qualitative phase diagram for differently doped 1212-type ruthenocuprates. The difference in temperature of magnetic ordering found for superconducting and non-superconducting RuSr2GdCu2O8 is discussed in the context of the properties of substituted compounds. The high pressure oxygen conditions required for synthesis of Ru1−xSr2RECu2+xO8−δ, have been extended to synthesis of a Ru1−xSr2Eu2−yCeyCu2+xO10−δ series. The Cu Ru doping achieved in these phases is found to decrease the temperature for magnetic ordering as well the volume fraction of the magnetic phase.

The holes were formed by self-assembly in anodic aluminum oxide using an electrochemical procedure. Confinement effects and Little–Parks oscillations are seen above 6 K, and strong pinning with matching field effects is seen below 6 K. Above the first matching field interstitial vortices coexist with vortices trapped in the hole array. Pinning in the Nb films with dense hole arrays is enhanced by two orders of magnitude over that in continuous Nb films. At low temperature, flux avalanches are observed and imaged using the magneto-optical Faraday effect.

Several familiar and novel junction fabrication techniques on YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO) single crystals are used for our systematic studies of the tunneling conductances, which are obtained as a function of crystallographic orientation, applied magnetic field (magnitude and orientation) atomic substitution and surface damage. All these results confirm that the observed zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) is comprised of quasiparticle (QP) Andreev bound states (ABS), which arise from reflection-symmetry breaking at the interface of a superconductor whose superconducting order parameter (OP) exhibits d-wave, or dx2–y2, symmetry. Consistency in the observation of the splitting of the ZBCP is presented: The splitting of the ZBCP observed in applied field, and the spontaneous splitting observed at lower temperatures in zero field, occur concomitantly in a given junction, and that observation of this splitting is dependent upon the length-scale of the surface disorder and the magnitude of the tunneling cone, φ.

A map of the field–temperature (HT) diagram of the pseudogap state reveals the pseudogap as a dominant feature up to very high levels of hole doping. The unconventionally large quantum fluctuation regime observed on the overdoped side is consistent with the pseudogap in the vortex cores. Unlike the characteristic fields of the superconducting state, the field that closes the pseudogap at low temperatures is temperature-independent. It is related to the pseudogap temperature T★ through a simple Zeeman energy scale, pointing to the pseudogap controlled by the spin rather than the orbital degrees of freedom.

In this paper, we report a host of physical phenomena including: (1) A collapse of the c-axis lattice parameter at a metal–nonmetal transition, TMI (=48 K), and a rapid increase of TMI with low uniaxial pressure applied along the c-axis, suggesting that the shortening of the c-axis is critical to the antiferromagnetic nonmetallic state. (2) A 90° rotation of the easy-axis for magnetization in the vicinity of TMI, implying a drastic change in spin–orbit coupling through the lattice degree of freedom. (3) Anomalous angular dependence of magnetization and resistivity, indicating an unusually large anisotropy and a strong spin–charge coupling. (4) Quantum oscillations in the gapped, nonmetallic state for 20 mK K; (5) Tunneling colossal magnetoresistance due in part to the magnetic valve-like effect, which yields a precipitate drop in resistivity. (6) Different in-plane anisotropies of colossal magnetoresistance and magnetization, suggesting that the electron scattering mechanism is not entirely driven by spins. It is believed that the unusually strong coupling between lattice, orbital, charge and spin degrees of freedom primarily dictates the exotic ground states.

In order to gain additional insight into the suppression of the ferromagnetism, local studies utilizing 99,101Ru zero-field spin-echo NMR, Ru K-edge XAFS and XANES, along with complimentary magnetization and X-ray diffraction measurements, have been carried out on samples of SrRuO3 annealed at both (ambient) atmospheric pressure and ‘high-pressure’ oxygen (600 atm). Consistent with previous work, the NMR spectrum for ambient SrRuO3 consists of two well-defined peaks at 64.4 and 72.2 MHz corresponding to the 99Ru and 101Ru isotopes, respectively, and a hyperfine field of 329 kG. Although the magnetization measurements show a lower ferromagnetic ordering temperature for the high-pressure oxygen sample (90 K compared to 160 K for the ambient sample), the NMR spectrum shows no significant shift in the two peak frequencies. However, the two peaks exhibit considerable broadening, along with structure on both the low and high frequency sides which is believed to be quadrupolar in origin. Analysis of the Ru K-edge XAFS reveals more disorder in the Ru–O bond for the high-pressure oxygen sample compared to the ambient sample. Furthermore, XANES of Ru K-edge analysis indicates no difference in the valence of Ru between the two samples. The magnetic behavior indicates the existence of some vacancies on the Ru sites for the high-pressure oxygen sample.

By using these parameters instead of tabulated ionic radii we have derived the functional dependence of the tolerance factor t=t(x,T,δ) on composition, temperature, and oxygen content. This functional dependence of t=t(x,T,δ) permits a systematic representation of perovskite phase stability, structural distortions, and magnetic transition temperatures in terms of the tolerance factor. An additional dependence of the properties on local structural and charge disorder on the A-site is demonstrated for the Sr1−xCaxMnO3 and RE0.5Ba0.5MnO3 compounds. These effects also appear to be universal for other perovskites-like compounds; for example, the high temperature superconducting cuprates.

This work is devoted to the fate of such corrections at intermediate temperatures Tτ>1. We show that in this (ballistic) regime the temperature dependence of conductivity is still governed by the same physical processes as the Altshuler–Aronov corrections—electron scattering by Friedel oscillations. However, in this regime the correction is linear in temperature; the value and even the sign of the slope depends on the strength of electron–electron interaction (this sign change may be relevant for the “metal-insulator” transition observed recently).

We show that a strong tunneling current, due to the shot noise, suppresses the spin dynamics, such as the spin precession in an external magnetic field (quantum Zeno effect), while a weak tunneling current preserves the spin precession but the oscillatory component of the current is of the same order as the noise. Within our semi-classical analysis we describe the physical requisites to observe a signature of quantum oscillations in the current–current correlation function.

Yet an acclimation of photosynthetic capacity suggested by theoretical models and short-term experiments could completely remove this effect of CO2 . Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. cv. Bastion) was grown under an elevated [CO2 ] of 600 µ mol mol-1 for 10 years using F ree A ir C O2 E nrichment (FACE ), with two contrasting nitrogen levels and abrupt changes in the source : sink ratio following periodic harvests. More than 3000 measurements characterized the response of leaf photosynthesis and stomatal conductance to elevated [CO2 ] across each growing season for the duration of the experiment. Over the 10 years as a whole, growth at elevated [CO2 ] resulted in a 43% higher rate of light-saturated leaf photosynthesis and a 36% increase in daily integral of leaf CO2 uptake. Photosynthetic stimulation was maintained despite a 30% decrease in stomatal conductance and significant decreases in both the apparent, maximum carboxylation velocity (V c,max ) and the maximum rate of electron transport (J max ). Immediately prior to the periodic (every 4–8 weeks) cuts of the L. perenne stands, V c,max and J max, were significantly lower in elevated than in ambient [CO2 ] in the low-nitrogen treatment. This difference was smaller after the cut, suggesting a dependence upon the balance between the sources and sinks for carbon. In contrast with theoretical expectations and the results of shorter duration experiments, the present results provide no significant change in photosynthetic stimulation across a 10-year period, nor greater acclimation in V c,max and J max in the later years in either nitrogen treatment.

The SAR data collection methods evaluated are: infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL), post-IR blue-OSL, IRSL with TL annealing cycles on polymineral fine-grains, and blue-OSL on quartz fine sand. A single-grain laser luminescence (SGLL) procedure for quartz sand is also evaluated. Age estimates obtained from these methods are compared with radiocarbon, soil PDI (profile development index), and IRSL multi-aliquot additive dose (MAAD) age constraints. Our results indicate that the modal De of quartz sand SGLL dose distributions yield ages that are consistent with radiocarbon and PDI age constraints for the tuff derived sediments in this investigation and appears to be the most promising method for studies in this area. Additionally, two fine-grained polymineral methods, IRSL SAR and traditional IRSL MAAD, produced ages that were generally in agreement with the SGLL ages and with available 14C and PDI age constraints. At the present stage of research, we advocate using quartz sand SGLL in conjunction with IRSL SAR or even IRSL MAAD for polymineral fine-grains to provide the most robust and reliable luminescence age data sets for tuff-derived sediments.

SN - 00380938 AB - We consider the stability of current sheets where a normal component of the field is present. It is well known that reconnection in such systems progresses orders of magnitude too slow to explain observations, even when full kinetic models are used. We consider here a new possible mechanism for fast reconnection in such systems. We consider the effect of the possible presence of velocity shear that can drive the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI). The effect of the KHI is shown to convert shear flow into compression flow that drives reconnection. Three scaling effects can be discerned in the simulations. First, the reconnection rate is directly controlled by the driving mechanism which is provided by the KHI. The result of this new mechanism is that fast reconnection can be achieved even in absence of anomalous resistivity. Second, the effect of varying the initial sheared flow along the main magnetic field direction enhances the reconnection process. Finally, the reconnection rate is insensitive to the value of resistivity.

An estimation of density functional theory (DFT) and Hartree–Fock complete basis-set limit (CBS) parameters from a 2 (3) point exact fit vs. least-squares fit was obtained with the cc-pVxZ and aug-cc-pVxZ basis sets (x=D, T, Q, 5, 6). Both Hartree–Fock- and DFT-predicted CBS shielding anisotropies and shielding tensor components of the model molecules were in reasonable agreement with available experimental data. The utility of using a limited CBS approach for calculating accurate anisotropic shielding parameters of larger molecules as complementary methods to solid-state NMR is proposed.

These samples were chosen to present a challenge of indenting at small loads (μN range). They were: 250-nm-thick TiNx, 700-nm-thick TiC, and 500-nm-thick TiB2/TiC multilayer coatings (each layer being 3-nm thick), prepared at Northwestern University using magnetron sputtering on silicon (0 0 1) substrates. Each research team was free to use whatever nanoindentor and analysis methods at its disposal. This round-robin experiment demonstrates that for the hardness range of interest (15–35 GPa) and using well-documented procedures and analysis methods, the reported results from all laboratories are essentially the same, allowing for a statistical spread of approximately ±14%. For consistent hardness measurements, four precautions must be observed: (i) proper tip-area function calibration, (ii) using sharp indenters, (iii) performing nanoindentation measurements with minimal thermal drift and with drift correction, (iv) using smooth samples, and (v) measuring the full hardness–maximum penetration curve.

These devices are generally thought to be limited by recombination in the space-charge region of the collecting heterojunction. The situation is complicated by the presumed presence of an n-type surface layer on the CIGS absorber. Both the surface inversion and space-charge recombination processes are intimately tied to near-surface point defects. Here, we overview recent results on surface chemistry, transient photocapacitance spectroscopy (TPC) and depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) for polycrystalline device layers from two laboratories, and single crystal epitaxial layers of three orientations. The results are combined with device modeling to provide a picture of the near-surface defect structures in these materials. The TPC results show deep defect levels ∼0.7 and 0.9 eV above the valence band. CL shows evidence of subgap radiative recombination, which increases dramatically near the sample surfaces. The results point to a near-surface Cd-containing layer, which could be responsible for the surface carrier type inversion, a near-surface region containing an elevated defect density, possibly near the valence band edge, and deep hole traps near the conduction band. Implementation of the results in a device model provides reasonable fits to the device performances.

The formulation focuses on robust optimization, using a partial moment measure of risk. This risk measure is incorporated into the expected recourse function of a two-stage stochastic programming formulation, and stochastic decomposition is used as a solution procedure. A numerical example illustrates the importance of including uncertainty in the fleet sizing problem formulation, and the nature of the fundamental tradeoff between acquiring more vehicles and accepting the risk of potentially high costs if insufficient resources are available.

These differences amount to violations of a symmetry called charge-parity reversal, or CP. After years of effort, experimental and theoretical physicists have found a natural way for CP symmetry to be broken within the prevailing theory of particle physics, called the Standard Model. Two accelerators in California and in Japan have begun to probe violations of CP, with the aim of understanding whether the Standard Model needs to be revamped or replaced. Aspects of the theory that involve the Higgs particle are all untested. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, will allow the Higgs to be observed if its properties are as predicted by the Standard Model.

These are very relevant to a famous anomalous isotope effect in the reaction that forms ozone because of their role in the energy transfer mechanism, in which metastable ro-vibrational states of ozone are formed and then stabilized by collisions with a third body. The resulting spectrum of metastable states is very dense below the delta zero-point energy threshold and sparse above it. This gives a clear qualitative explanation of why the effect occurs.

Diffusion rates D|| and D⊥ were determined to be 4 × 106 and 2 × 106 s-1, respectively, by treating the motion of the attached moiety as an oblate ellipsoid of rotation. 13C NMR measurements on solid, silica-attached benzene-1-13C, acquired using conventional solution NMR methods, gave remarkable, high-resolution spectra. A lower limit for the rate of phenyl group motion was estimated to be 1.5 × 105 s-1, consistent with the fluorescence anisotropy data measured for silica-attached 1-pyrene. Molecular mechanics models for phenyl attached to representative silanol surfaces predict rotational barriers for phenyl rotations in the 2-5 kcal/mol range.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/05/08/ VL - 107 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 3471 EP - 3475 SN - 10895639 AB - We report resolution-enhanced magic-angle sample spinning (MAS) 17O NMR studies of the paraelectric-antiferroelectric phase transition (at TC = 373 K) of the model hydrogen-bonded compound squaric acid (H2C4O4). Utilization of single crystals in the MAS measurements yielded a factor of 4 decrease in the 17O NMR line widths, as compared to powder samples. All four oxygens were clearly shown to be chemically different at T < TC. This was akin to 13C spectra, but the 17O peaks are much more dispersed. The peak assignment was supported by quantum theoretical calculations of the 17O isotropic chemical shifts using a pentamer model of the crystal structure below TC. On raising the temperature, the four peaks merged and became a narrow doublet above TC, in contrast to a singlet for 13C. Also, the mean position of the doublet was not the average of the four low-temperature peaks. This observation suggests that the phase transition involves a distortion of the whole H2C4O4 framework, and not just the order-disorder rearrangement of the H's i.e., future models of the transition should include a displacive component, in addition to an order-disorder part. The observation of the doublet at T > TC implies that the two O-H...O chains retain their difference in the paraelectric phase as well. This is consistent with the one-dimensional Ising chain model, according to which the SQA lattice should be visualized as a mesh of two distinct and orthogonal one-dimensional chains, in contrast to the more prevalent two-dimensional C4O4 square-lattice model.

The V L3 near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) of VPO is related to the details of the bonding between the central vanadium atom and the surrounding oxygen atoms. Reversible changes of the NEXAFS were observed when going from room temperature to the reaction conditions. These changes are interpreted as dynamic rearrangements of the VPO surface, and the structural rearrangements are related to the catalytic activity of the material that was verified by proton-transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS). The physical origin of the variation of the NEXAFS is discussed and a tentative assignment to specific V-O bonds in the VPO structure is given. In situ XPS investigations were used to elucidate the surface electronic conductivity and to probe the ground state of the NEXAFS spectra.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/05/08/ VL - 107 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 4624 EP - 4631 SN - 15206106 AB - We report time-resolved 240 GHz EPR spectra of the primary donor triplet state 3P from photosynthetic reaction centers of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26.1 as a function of temperature in the range 10-230 K. The data allow the determination of the principal g-tensor values and the principal axes directions of the 3P g-tensor with respect to its zero-field axes. The g-tensor measured at 240 GHz differs appreciably from previous measurements of 3P at lower frequencies and also differs from that of the cation radical state P+, which has previously been characterized at high frequencies. In contrast to P+, the 3P state exhibits significant temperature dependence in its g-tensor, particularly in the directions of the principal axes, which appear to rotate by about 30° around the x principal axis over the temperature range studied. The 3P yield anisotropy first observed by Boxer and co-workers at high field using photoselection methods is also evident in the high-field EPR spectrum as a significant variation of intensity across the spectrum. This variation is analyzed in terms of two models. The first model explicitly includes the evolution of the precursor radical pair but leads to significant ambiguities in the assignment of radical pair structural parameters. The second model utilizes only two ad hoc parameters to account for the yield anisotropy, which greatly reduces fitting parameter correlations and improves the accuracy and reliability with which the 3P magnetic parameters are determined.

In particular, we construct a minimum-variance estimator for the flat-sky limit and compare results with previously studied frequentist methods. Application to the MAXIMA data set shows consistency with primordial Gaussianity. Weak quadratic non-Gaussianity is characterized by a tunable parameter f[sub NL] , corresponding to non-Gaussianity at a level of ∼10[sup -5]f[sub NL] (the ratio of non-Gaussian to Gaussian terms), and we find limits of f[sub NL]= 1500 ± 950 for the minimum-variance estimator and f[sub NL]= 2700 ± 1650 for the usual frequentist estimator. These are the tightest limits on primordial non-Gaussianity, which include the full effects of the radiation transfer function.

Uncooled muon beams exhibit large emittances and require fast acceleration to avoid decay losses and would benefit from this style of acceleration. The approach here employs a fixed-field alternating gradient or FFAG magnet structure and a fixed-frequency acceleration system. Acceptance is enhanced by the use only of linear lattice elements, and fixed-frequency rf enables the use of cavities with large shunt resistance and quality factor.

A collaboration of about 30 institutions has designed, assembled, and commissioned CLAS in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The CLAS detector is based on a novel six-coil toroidal magnet which provides a largely azimuthal field distribution. Trajectory reconstruction using drift chambers results in a momentum resolution of 0.5% at forward angles. Cherenkov counters, time-of-flight scintillators, and electromagnetic calorimeters provide good particle identification. Fast triggering and high data-acquisition rates allow operation at a luminosity of 1034 nucleon cm−2 s−1. These capabilities are being used in a broad experimental program to study the structure and interactions of mesons, nucleons, and nuclei using polarized and unpolarized electron and photon beams and targets. This paper is a comprehensive and general description of the design, construction and performance of CLAS.

Rev. B 66 (2002) 205109] that δ-Pu is stabilized at higher temperatures by magnetic interactions driving a disordered magnetic state. At lower temperatures, however, the magnetic moments are expected to align in an antiferromagnetic fashion which has been shown to destabilize δ-Pu mechanically. Consequently, δ-Pu is unstable below about 600 K but can be stabilized at lower temperatures when alloyed with a small amount of a suitable ‘δ-Pu stabilizer’. Here we explain this stabilizing effect in terms of the balance between ordered and disordered magnetism and how this balance is offset by the addition of an alloying component. For this purpose we have applied density functional theory (DFT), implemented in the Korringa–Kohn–Rostocker (KKR) method within the Green’s function formalism. The effect of magnetic moment disorder as well as compositional disorder was treated by means of the coherent potential approximation (CPA) implemented, in the former case, in conjunction with the disordered local moment (DLM) model. These calculations show that an alloy component larger than δ-Pu has a stabilizing effect, whereas a magnetic component that is smaller has a strongly destabilizing effect on δ-Pu. The ordered Pu3Al, Pu3Ga, Pu3In, and Pu3Tl compounds (in the Cu3Au structure) are all found to have negative heat of formation with calculated density close to experimental data.

The data display a wide-ranging level of accord with previously reported ARPES results and clarify how many apparently dissimilar Fermi surface (FS) maps emerge in ARPES, under different experimental conditions. The energy and polarization dependences of the ARPES matrix elements help disentangle primary contributions from the main FS bands to the spectrum from those arising from secondary effects. The remarkable influence of the matrix elements on the ARPES intensity allows us to unravel the principal FS bands, from those robust features associated to the incommensurate superstructure modulations, as well as provide us a reliable route for separating closely placed FS sheets in low dimensional materials.

JO - Applied Surface Science JF - Applied Surface Science Y1 - 2003/05/15/ VL - 212-213 M3 - Article SP - 67 SN - 01694332 AB - In this paper, we report measurements on the Fermi surface (FS) topology of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi-2212) superconductors by angle scanning photoemission spectroscopy using polarized synchrotron radiation. Our k-scanning approach allows us to record the full symmetry of the main features of the FS throughout large portions of the reciprocal space, as well as their dependence on the polarization and energy of the incident light. In the recorded two-dimensional images, we have clearly identified in addition to the principal FS and its “umklapps” replicas another bands of much smaller intensity, previously reported as “shadow FS”. The k-dependence of these bands is identical that to the principal FS, but displaced by a wave-vector (π, π). In the present study, we provide a qualitative analysis of this superstructure as well as its relationship with the structural order and the low-energy magnetic fluctuations of these compounds.

The measurements are used to derive emission factors from ships of three species not reported previously, namely, black carbon, accumulation-mode particles, and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), as well as for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), non-methane hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and condensation nuclei. The effects of fuel grade and engine power on ship emissions are discussed. The emission factors are combined with fuel usage data to obtain estimates of global annual emissions of various particles and gases from ocean-going ships. Global emissions of black carbon, accumulation-mode particles, and CCN from ocean-going ships are estimated to be 19–26 Gg yr−1, (4.4–6.1)×1026 particles yr−1, and (1.0–1.5)×1026 particles yr−1, respectively. Black carbon emissions from ocean-going ships are ∼0.2% of total anthropogenic emissions. Emissions of NOx and SO2 from ocean-going ships are ∼10–14% and ∼3–4%, respectively, of the total emissions of these species from the burning of fossil fuels, and ∼40% and ∼70%, respectively, of the total emissions of these species from the burning of biomass. Global annual emissions of CO and CH4 from ocean-going ships are ∼2% and ∼2–5%, respectively, of natural oceanic emissions of these species.

Current transients were acquired via a step polarization impedance spectroscopy technique: the voltage was stepped between −1 and 1 V in 50 mV increments, while current transients and surface morphology were digitally recorded. Numerical Laplace transformation applied to the current transient data provided frequency-dependent admittance (impedance−1). Simultaneous AFM imaging of dry surfaces, initially hydrated surfaces, and surfaces immersed and changing with potential revealed that all sample surfaces were covered with protective titanium oxide domes that grew in area and coalesced due to hydration and as a function of increasing applied voltage and time. Reversal of dome growth did not occur upon voltage reduction, while impedance behavior was quasi-reversible, suggesting independence between structural and electrical properties. Oxide growth appeared to occur in part by lateral spreading and overgrowth of domes at the oxide–solution interface. Interfacial impedance data reflect oxide passivity and n-type semiconductor behavior. Non-linear Mott–Schottky fits specified multi-layer donor concentrations between 1018 and 1019 cm−3, depending on the surface.

A first barrier is mediated by the retinoblastoma protein, and can be overcome by multiple types of errors, many of which are observed in human cancers. A second, extremely stringent telomere-dependent barrier, is a consequence of repression of telomerase activity. Although relieved by ectopic hTERT expression, the nature of the errors required to overcome this latter barrier during in vivo carcinogenesis have not yet been defined. Attainment of immortality and telomerase reactivation are crucial to human carcinoma development; the derangements responsible for attainment of immortality may be rate-limiting and permissive for further progression to malignancy.

Bismuth (III) derivatives of starch were prepared by reaction of either bismuth trichloride or bismuth tri-tert-pentoxide with either granular or activated potato starch. Bismuth (V) starch derivatives were prepared by heating a solid blend of activated starch and NaBiO3 in a microwave oven. Thermal analysis (thermogravimetry—TGA, differential thermogravimetry—DTGA, and differential thermal analysis—DTA) as well as IR- and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies showed that starch reacted with bismuth (III) alkoxide by substitution of its one alkoxide group with one hydroxyl group of the d-glucose unit. d-Glucose units bound no more than two Bi(O-akyl)2 groups. d-Glucose units reacted with BiCl3 in benzene with the evolution of hydrochloride which hydrolysed starch to dextrins. Starch was crosslinked on heating with sodium bismuthate. Bismuthated starches were slightly less thermally stable than original starches.

T1 - Preparation and characterization of Pd–Cu composite membranes for hydrogen separation JO - Chemical Engineering Journal JF - Chemical Engineering Journal Y1 - 2003/05/15/ VL - 93 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 11 SN - 13858947 AB - Pd–Cu composite membranes were made by successive electroless deposition of Pd and then Cu onto various tubular porous ceramic supports. Ceramic filters used as supports included symmetric α-alumina (nominal 200 nm in pore size), asymmetric zirconia on α-alumina (nominal 50 nm pore size), and asymmetric γ-alumina on α-alumina (nominal 5 nm pore size). The resulting metal/ceramic composite membranes were heat-treated between 350 and 700 °C for times ranging from 6 to 25 days to induce intermetallic diffusion and obtain homogeneous metal films. Pure gas permeability tests were conducted using hydrogen and nitrogen. For an 11 μm thick, 10 wt.% Cu film on a nominal 50 nm pore size asymmetric ultrafilter with zirconia top layer, the flux at 450 °C and 345 kPa H2 feed pressure was 0.8 mol/m2 s. The ideal hydrogen/nitrogen separation factor was 1150 at the same conditions. The thickness of the metallic film was progressively decreased from 28 μm down to 1–2 μm and the alloy concentration was increased to 30 wt.% Cu.Structural factors related to the ceramic support and the metallic film chemical composition are shown to be responsible for the differences in membrane performance. Among the former are the support pore size, which controls the required metal film thickness to insure a leak-free membrane and the internal structure of the support (symmetric or asymmetric) which changes the mass transfer resistance. The support with the 200 nm pores required more Pd to plug the pores than the asymmetric membranes with smaller pore sizes, as was expected. However, leak-free films could not be deposited on the support with the smallest pore size (5 nm γ-alumina), presumably due to surface defects and/or a lack of adhesion between the metal film and the membrane surface.

More than 95% conversion can be achieved by steam reforming of clean fuels, such as isooctane and synthetic diesel. A unique characteristic of the current catalytic system is the flexibility in steaming reforming of different hydrocarbon fuels under different conditions. High efficiency methanol steam reforming catalyst performance has been demonstrated which implies a feasibility in designing a high performance methanol steam reformer with reduced volume for portable device applications.

The concentrations of charge carriers were rigorously included in this model through defect equilibria with the chemical environment at each membrane surface and through balance equations and a virtual pressure formalism within the membrane. Hydrogen permeation rates through proton–electron–hole mixed conductors were simulated using this framework under open-circuit, short-circuited, and applied potential operating modes. The sensitivity of H2 permeation rates to the reduction–oxidation potentials at each side of the membrane and to the membrane properties (e.g. electron/hole diffusivity, oxygen binding energy) was examined in terms of the mobility and concentration of each charge carrier in order to identify rate-limiting steps for H2 transport. These simulations showed that electronic transport controls H2 permeation rates in proton–electron–hole mixed conductors typically used for H2 permeation, especially when hydrogen chemical potentials are significantly different in the two sides of the membrane. These electronic conduction limitations arise from a region of very low electronic conductivity within the membrane, caused by a shift in the predominant charge carriers from electron to holes with decreasing hydrogen chemical potential. Under these asymmetrical conditions, H2 permeation rates increase more markedly when an external electron-conducting path is introduced than at lower chemical potential gradients. Such interplay between rate-controlling variables leads to complex effects of H2 chemical potential gradients on permeation rates. The effects of intrinsic membrane properties on H2 permeation were examined by systematic changes in the defect equilibrium constants. A decrease in oxygen binding energy, manifested in a stronger tendency for reduction of the oxide membrane material, leads to higher electron concentrations and to higher rates for open-circuit operation, during which electron conduction limits H2 transport rates.

We propose a new algorithm that balances the two computations independently. The grid for the field-solve computation is statically partitioned. The particles within a processor''s sub-domain(s) are dynamically balanced by migrating spatially-compact groups of particles from heavily loaded processors to lightly loaded ones as needed. The algorithm has been implemented in the quicksilver electromagnetic particle-in-cell code. We provide details of the implementation and present performance results for quicksilver running models with up to a billion grid cells and particles on thousands of processors of a large distributed-memory parallel machine.

The materials covered in this paper are by and large extracted from the three theses of the first three authors. The paper focuses on the state-space oriented system identification theory as specialized to structural dynamics governing equations of motion, a judicious use of wavelet transformation techniques for extracting impulse response functions, various input–output combinations for multi-input and multi-output problems, robust ways of identifying both proportional and non-proportional damping parameters, and the use of localized identification theory for damage detection from measured response data. The authors then offer several outstanding challenges in structural system identification theory and their applications.

In northern Peru (6°S), a stable magnetic component from six Permo-Triassic sites passes fold and reversal tests. The overall mean pole agrees well with Late Permian to Triassic poles from cratonal South America, suggesting this part of Peru has experienced neither significant rotation nor latitudinal transport since the Permo-Triassic. In southern Peru (13 to 16°S), thermal demagnetization isolates stable magnetic components in 16 of 22 Upper Permian to Lower Jurassic sites collected along the transition between the Altiplano and the Eastern Cordillera. These 16 sites are rotated 14 to 147° counterclockwise and pass an inclinations-only fold test. Within the same structural zone, three other Permo-Triassic sites as well as 10 Paleocene sites also show important counterclockwise rotations [Roperch and Carlier, J. Geophys. Res. 97 (1992) 17233–17249; Butler et al., Geology 23 (1995) 799–802]. The large magnitude and exclusively counterclockwise sense of rotation suggest that the tectonic regime included an important sinistral shear component. No correlation exists between rotation amount and rock age, suggesting the rotations are post-Paleocene in age. Because the rotations occur along the fringe of the Eastern Cordillera, they were likely produced during its structural formation, hence from the Late Oligocene to Present. Sinistral shear acting in the northern part of the Bolivian Orocline appears much more pronounced than that north of the Abancay Deflection, which likely arises from differences in convergence obliquity.

The reaction center complexes were obtained following isolation procedures that differed in chromatographic column material, washing buffer composition and detergent concentration. Two different types of cytochrome b 559 assays were performed. The absolute heme content in each preparation was obtained using the oxidized-minus-reduced difference extinction coefficient of cytochrome b 559 at 559 nm. The relative amount of D1 and cytochrome b 559 α-subunit polypeptide was also calculated for each preparation from immunoblots obtained using antibodies raised against the two polypeptides. The results indicate that the cytochrome b 559 heme content in photosystem II reaction center complexes can vary with the isolation procedure, but the variation of the cytochrome b 559 α-subunit/D1 polypeptide ratio was even greater. This variation was not found in the PSII-enriched membrane fragments used as the RC-isolation starting material, as different batches of membranes obtained from spinach harvested at different seasons of the year or those from sugar beets grown in a chamber under controlled environmental conditions lack variation in their α-subunit/D1 polypeptide ratio. A precise determination of the ratio using an RC1-control sample calibration curve gave a ratio of 1.25 cytochrome b 559 α-subunit per 1.0 D1 polypeptide in photosystem II membranes. We conclude that the variations found in the reaction center preparations were due to the different procedures used to isolate and purify the different reaction center complexes.

Reaction of butanethiol results in simple ligand exchange to form the thiol complex W(CO)3(phen)(n or tBuSH). Reaction with thiophenol results in oxidative addition to form the W(II) thiolate hydride complex W (CO)3(phen)(SPh)(H). The lower reducing power of Mo compared to W is demonstrated in that simple ligand binding of PhSH to Mo(0) occurs forming Mo(CO)3(phen)(PhSH). Reactions of arene dithiols with W(CO)3(phen)(EtCN) were found to proceed with initial oxidative addition of one S–H bond of the chelating dithiols to form W(CO)3(phen)(H)[S–arene(SH)]. These complexes slowly eliminate H2 and CO to form W(CO)2(phen)(arenedithiolate) complexes. The same complexes can be formed by thiol/thiolate exchange reactions: W(CO)2(phen)(SR)2 (R=tBu, Ph) react quantitatively with arene dithiol to yield W(CO)2(phen)(arenedithiolate). The crystal structure of W(CO)2(phen)(3,4-toluenedithiolate) has been determined and is trigonal prismatic rather than octahedral. Values for ΔH° (thiol/thiolate exchange) have been measured by solution calorimetry relative to W(CO)2(phen)(StBu)2=0.0 kcal mol−1; (CO)2(phen)(SPh)2=−7.2±0.4 kcal mol−1 and W(CO)2(phen)(3,4-toluenedithiolate)=−12.5±0.6 kcal mol−1.

This study is focused on the upscaling of constitutive relations (among relative permeability, capillary pressure, and saturation) for unsaturated tuff matrix (or a porous medium with a large air entry value). Unsaturated flow in tuff matrix is of interest at a number of existing and proposed waste disposal sites, as well as in connection with environmental contamination in arid and semiarid regions. Based on the notion that a large air entry value corresponds to a spatially uniform capillary pressure distribution, even at a relatively large scale for steady-state unsaturated flow, we present an upscaling approach for constitutive relations of tuff matrix. Numerical experiments were used to verify and demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.

Three systems were examined: (1) a column packed with homogenized aquifer material, (2) undisturbed aquifer cores, and (3) a section of a semi-confined alluvial aquifer encompassing approximately 2000 m2. Tracer experiments were conducted using non-reactive tracers with different aqueous diffusion coefficients, based on the assumption that the impact of diffusion-mediated mass-transfer processes on solute transport will be dependent upon the magnitude of the diffusion coefficient. For the homogenized packed column, the breakthrough curves for the different tracers were very similar, and the attendant dispersivities were identical. These results indicate, as would be expected, that physical-heterogeneity related diffusive mass transfer did not measurably contribute to solute transport in the homogeneously packed column. Conversely, the results obtained for the undisturbed aquifer cores indicate that diffusive mass transfer, possibly associated with diffusion between zones of lower and higher advection, contributed to solute transport in this system. For the field test, the magnitudes of the dispersivity coefficients were different for the different tracers. Thus, solute transport at the field scale appeared to be influenced by diffusive mass transfer, most likely associated with mass transfer between regions of lower and higher permeability. These results illustrate that tracer tests using tracers with different diffusivities can be used to help elucidate the relative contribution of diffusion-mediated mass transfer to solute transport.

The dried UO3 aerogel was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analyses. The aerogel micro-structure was determined to be composed of primary particles with two distinct morphologies (spherical and fibrous) with features in the 5–20 nm range. These particles were also determined to be highly crystalline as evidenced by the higher-magnification TEM examination. The urania aerogel possesses high surface area (236 m2/g) and pore diameters in the micro- and mesoporous (2–20 nm) range.

These pulsed fluxes also lead to pressure pulses created by beam heating. In turn, the pressure pulses give rise to fluctuating stresses in the 316 LN austenitic stainless steel target vessel, and to cavitation in the liquid mercury spallation target. Corrosion reactions and related changes in mechanical properties also may occur through contact with flowing mercury. We describe the materials research and development program for the spallation target. The program covers the areas of cavitation erosion, radiation effects, and compatibility. Cavitation erosion work includes pressure wave tests at the LANSCE proton accelerator, as well as laboratory tests that simulate aspects of the actual in-beam exposures. Materials irradiations are being carried out in spallation environments at high-energy and high-power proton accelerators. Other experiments are conducted at irradiation facilities that simulate aspects of spallation conditions. Extensive radiation damage and transmutation calculations supplement these experiments. Compatibility work includes both thermal convection and pumped flow loop tests to examine temperature gradient mass transfer, as well as fatigue and tensile tests in contact with Hg. Based on the information developed for radiation effects and compatibility with mercury, our analysis indicates that the target will meet its intended service requirements. In the past year and one half the new issue of cavitation erosion has been included in the program. Both in-beam and laboratory experiments indicate that cavitation erosion may occur in the target. The highest priority activity is now to determine whether cavitation erosion will limit target lifetime to a level below the lifetime limit set by radiation effects.

An extensive test program was initiated using specimens obtained from spent target components from operating spallation facilities (Los Alamos Neutron Science Center, LANSCE and the Spallation Neutron Source at Rutherford–Appleton Laboratory, ISIS). The investigated materials include a nickel-based alloy (IN 718), an austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304L), a martensitic stainless steel (DIN 1.4926) and a refractory metal (tantalum). The materials experienced 800 MeV proton irradiation to maximum fluences of >1025 p/m2. The mechanical property changes were investigated by microhardness measurements, three-point bending tests and tensile tests at temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to 250 °C. Subsequent scanning electron microscopy was employed to investigate the fracture surfaces. Generally, irradiation hardening and a decrease in ductility with increasing proton fluence was observed. Nevertheless, all materials except IN 718 tested at RT, retained some ductility up to the maximum doses explored. The transmission electron microscopy investigation showed that a high density of ‘black dots’ and dislocation loops appeared in all materials. No effect of long-range radiation-induced segregation at grain boundaries was detected by energy dispersive X-ray investigation on AISI 304L and IN718 which failed by intergranular fracture.

This paper discusses pitting that was observed on mercury container walls after 100–200 proton pulses obtained at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center Weapons Neutron Research facility (LANSCE-WNR). It was found that the degree of cavitation-induced pitting was dependent on the geometry and composition of the container. As expected, very hard surfaces were particularly effective for resisting deformation from cavity collapse.

The test conditions included peak-to-peak displacement of the specimen surface of 25 μm at a frequency of 20 kHz and a mercury temperature in the range −5 to 80 °C. Following a brief incubation period in which little or no damage was observed, specimens of annealed 316LN exhibited increasing weight loss and surface roughening with increasing exposure times. Examination of test surfaces with the scanning electron microscope revealed primarily general/uniform wastage in all cases but, for long exposure times, a few randomly oriented ‘pits’ were also observed. Type 316LN that was 50% cold-worked was considerably more resistant to cavitation erosion damage than annealed material, but the surface modifications (CrN coating, metallic glass coating, laser treatment to form a diamond-like surface) provided little or no protection for the substrate. In addition, the cavitation erosion resistance of other materials – Inconel 718, Nitronic 60, and Stellite 3 – was also compared with that of 316LN for identical screening test conditions.

The resulting strains may exceed the elastic limit and induce plastic deformation in the material. A similar situation occurs in the window of a spallation liquid source target and results in the same type of damage. This particular loading has been simulated in F82H ferritic–martensitic steel, using a device allowing a fatigue test to be carried out during irradiation with 590 MeV protons. All fatigue tests were carried out in a strain controlled test at strain levels around 0.8% and at 300 °C. Two different signals have been used: a fully symmetrical triangle wave signal (R=−1) and a triangle ramp with 2 min tension holds. The fatigue was investigated under three different conditions: unirradiated, irradiated and post-irradiation tested, and finally in-beam tested. The main result is that the in-beam tested specimens have the lowest life as compared to the post-irradiation tested specimen and unirradiated specimen. Hydrogen is suspected to be the main contributor to the observed embrittlement.

The research and development program in progress includes determining the effects of mercury on the fatigue behavior of type 316 LN stainless steel, the primary material of choice for the target vessel. Uniaxial, load-controlled, fully reversed tension–compression R=−1 (minimum stress/maximum stress) fatigue tests have been conducted in air and mercury at room temperature employing constant amplitude sinusoidal loading at frequencies from 0.2 to 10 Hz. Stress amplitude versus fatigue life data (S–N curves) for both air and mercury show a sharp knee at approximately 1 million cycles indicating a fatigue endurance limit in either air or mercury around 240 MPa. Tensile mean stress (R=0.1) lowers the endurance limit to 160 MPa. Lower frequency and mercury environment had some impact (degradation) on fatigue life of type 316 LN stainless steel at high stress levels (i.e., stresses considerably above the apparent fatigue limit). Test results for high mean stress conditions (R=0.3, 0.5, and 0.75) at a cyclic frequency of 10 Hz exhibited further reductions in the endurance limit.

Here R equals the ratio of the applied minimum to maximum loads during fatigue experiments. A decrease in the fatigue life in mercury was observed, relative to that in air, at 0.2 Hz. Correspondingly, intergranular fracture was found on the fracture surfaces of specimens tested in mercury at 0.2 Hz, which is a typical fracture mode caused by liquid metal embrittlement (LME). Heating by mechanical working was observed during fatigue tests at 10 Hz and a R of −1, and at 700 Hz and a R of 0.1, which resulted in great increases in specimen temperatures and shorter fatigue lives for large stress amplitudes (⩾210 MPa), relative to those in mercury. However, in the fatigue tests at 10 and 700 Hz, the fatigue lives in air with cooling and those in mercury seemed to be comparable, indicating little influence of the mercury. Thus, both specimen self-heating and LME need to be considered in understanding fatigue behavior of Type 316 SS in air and mercury.

The MCNPX calculations agree well with the former calculations performed with the LAHET code. The preliminary analysis of dosimetry foils demonstrates that the unfolded proton and neutron spectra at limited positions are close to calculated values. In general the measured He concentrations were consistent with the calculated values. Some discrepancy between the measured and calculated values is believed due to the actual proton beam geometry being different from that used for the calculation. The hydrogen concentration measured in samples irradiated at <∼100 °C is close to the calculated. The differences between the measured and calculated values for samples irradiated at higher temperatures can be attributed largely to the effects of hydrogen diffusion. The results indicate that at >∼250 °C, only a small amount of hydrogen remains in the samples.

Tensile tests were performed at 22, 250 and 350 °C, and small punch (SP) tests were conducted in a temperature range of −186 to 22 °C to derive the change of the ductile–brittle transition temperature (ΔDBTTSP) of the steel after irradiation. The tensile test results demonstrate that the irradiation hardening increases with dose. The uniform elongation falls to less than 1%, while the total elongation is greater than 5% in all cases. All the tensile samples broke in a ductile fracture mode. In the present dose range the irradiation hardening does not saturate and increases even more rapidly at doses above about 6 dpa. The SP tests indicate that the DBTTSP of 0.25 mm thick T91 discs is about −153 °C for the unirradiated condition. After irradiation the DBTTSP increases significantly to −35 °C at 9.4 dpa, corresponding to an estimated DBTTCVN shift of 295 °C; and meanwhile the upper energies decrease. The ΔDBTTSP has a linear dependence on helium content. Analyses of the data indicate that the radiation hardening and the occurrence of intergranular fracture mode in the higher dose SP tests are dependent on gas content.

For the specimens irradiated to doses between 1 and 3 dpa, it was observed that the yield strength and ultimate strength decreased monotonically as a function of tensile test temperature, whereas the uniform elongation (UE) remained at approximately 1% for tensile test temperatures up to 250 °C and then increased for tensile test temperatures up to and including 500 °C. At 600 °C, the UE was observed to be less than the values at 400 and 500 °C. UE of the irradiated material tensile tested at 400–600 °C was observed to be greater than the values for the unirradiated material at the same temperatures. Tensile tests on the 9 dpa specimens followed similar trends.

Irradiation hardening in the steels was strong, and all of them displayed plastic instability shortly after yield for irradiations of 0.054 dpa and higher. Despite large loses in elongation, all failures occurred in a ductile manner. The dose dependencies of the increases in the yield strength with dpa were similar for all six steels, and contained a pronounced change at about 0.05 dpa. Below 0.05 dpa, the hardening exponent was 0.5–0.6, consistent with a barrier hardening mechanism. Above 0.05 dpa, the exponent was reduced to 0.1–0.2, which is speculated to be due to intervention by dislocation channeling. A trend curve for correlating changes in yield strengths of F/M steels with dose at irradiation temperatures below 160 °C is offered.

In addition to the displacement damage produced from the irradiation, up to several thousand atomic parts per million (appm) of hydrogen and helium were produced in the irradiated material via spallation reactions. Results of tensile tests at temperatures from room temperature up to 164 °C show large increases in tensile yield strength, small increases in ultimate tensile strength, reductions in strain hardening capacity and reductions in ductility (uniform elongation and strain-to-necking) with increasing irradiation dose. A comparison of these data with the large database on tensile properties of type 316 stainless steel exposed to fission neutrons and tensile tested over the same temperature range show similar trends with regard to strength changes, but significantly larger reductions in ductility with irradiation dose were observed after irradiation in the spallation environment. The much higher amounts of helium and hydrogen produced through spallation in the LANSCE spectrum, compared to those developed in fission neutron irradiation environments at equivalent doses, may contribute to degradation in ductility.

The alloy was exposed in solution-annealed (SA) and precipitation-hardened (PH) conditions. Before irradiation, the yield strength of PH IN718 was about 1170 MPa, which was 3.7 times higher than that of SA IN718. In the SA condition, an almost threefold increase in yield strength was found at 1.2 dpa, but the alloy retained a positive strain-hardening capability and a uniform ductility of more than 20%. Comparisons showed that the strain-hardening behavior of the SA IN718 is similar to that of a SA 316LN austenitic stainless steel. In the PH condition, the IN718 displayed no radiation-induced hardening in yield strength and significant softening in ultimate tensile strength. The strain-hardening capability of the PH IN718 decreased with dose as the radiation-induced dissolution of precipitates occurred, which resulted in the onset of plastic instability at strains less than 1% after irradiation to 0.16 or 1.2 dpa. An analysis on plastic instability indicated that the loss of uniform ductility in PH IN718 was largely due to the reduction in strain-hardening rate, while in SA IN718 and SA 316LN stainless steel it resulted primarily from the increase of yield stress.

Irradiations were carried out using 3.5 MeV Fe+, 370 keV He+ and 180 keV H+ either singly or simultaneously at 200 °C to simulate the damage and He/H production in the SNS target vessel wall. This resulted in systematic hardening in SA Inconel and gradual net softening in the PH material. TEM microstructural analysis showed the hardening was associated with the formation of small loop and faulted loop structures. Helium-irradiated specimens included more loops and cavities than Fe+ ion-irradiated specimens. Softening of the PH material was due to dissolution of the γ′/γ″ precipitates. High doses of helium were implanted in order to study the effect of high retention of gaseous transmutation products. Simultaneous with the hardening and/or softening due to the displacement damage cascade, helium filled cavities produced additional hardening at high concentrations.

These tests have now been supplemented with a series of experiments designed to examine the influence of increased flow velocity and possible cavitation conditions on compatibility. In one experiment, the standard TCL design was modified to include a reduced section in the hot leg that provided a concomitant increase in the local velocity by a factor of five. In addition, a pumped-loop experiment was operated with a flow velocity of about 1 m/s. Finally, a TCL was modified to include an ultrasonic transducer at the top of the hot leg in an attempt to generate cavitation conditions with corresponding extreme local velocity associated with collapsing bubbles. The results indicate that compatibility of type 316L/316LN stainless steel does not depend significantly on liquid metal velocity in the range of 1 m/min to 1 m/s. Benchtop cavitation experiments revealed susceptibility of 316L coupons to significant weight losses and increases in surface roughness as a result of 24 h exposure to 1.5 MPa pressure waves in Hg generated ultrasonically at 20 kHz. However, attempts to generate cavitation conditions on coupons inside the TCL with the ultrasonic transducer proved largely unsuccessful.

The tests included vapor phase exposures as well as immersion of stressed and unstressed c-rings in the as-received condition and with chemical treatments to modify the passive film. Test conditions included the temperature range 0–160 °C, times of 3–30 days and, in addition to liquid Hg, various Hg vapor environments including residual air, residual helium and condensing conditions. The results indicate 6061-T6 is quite susceptible to pitting and cracking when immersed in Hg for even a brief time, but at least one chemical treatment was shown to improve corrosion resistance under immersion conditions. Type 6061-T6 was found to be essentially immune to vapor phase corrosion for the conditions examined, with only very minor development of pits or pit precursors.

The absorption spectra of perylene, terrylene, and quaterrylene in neutral, cationic, and anionic charge states are obtained by matrix-isolation spectroscopy in Ne. The experimental spectra are dominated by a bright state that red shifts with growing molecular size. Excitation energies and state symmetry assignments for this state are obtained by calculations using time-dependent density functional theory methods. These calculations also provide additional information and insight into the trends in oscillator strength and excitation energy for the bright states: in particular, the oscillator strength per unit mass of carbon increases along the series.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/05/15/ VL - 107 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 3866 EP - 3876 SN - 10895639 AB - Electrochemical insertion of lithium into pyrolyzed amorphous carbons prepared from polymeric precursors of methacrylonitrile and divinylbenzene has been investigated by 7Li variable temperature static and magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR. This method is able to characterize the chemical inventory of lithium, differentiating between reversible species that are truly inserted into the carbon and irreversible species that are lost to traps and parasitic processes. Furthermore, large chemical shift effects indicate that the structural and electronic properties of the inserted reversible lithium species are sensitively dependent on the extent of loading. At loading levels ≤90% relative capacity, the trend is monotonic, whereas in more highly charged samples, two types of electrochemically relevant sites are observed, distinguishable from one another only at lower temperatures. At higher temperatures, dynamic exchange effects between them are evident on the NMR time scale. In the initially prepared state, these highly charged materials contain regular intercalated lithium sites as well as clusters of atomic lithium species dispersed in the amorphous matrix. The cluster sites are depopulated with time, a process that can be accelerated by heating.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/05/15/ VL - 107 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 4624 EP - 4631 SN - 15206106 AB - We report time-resolved 240 GHz EPR spectra of the primary donor triplet state 3P from photosynthetic reaction centers of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26.1 as a function of temperature in the range 10−230 K. The data allow the determination of the principal g-tensor values and the principal axes directions of the 3P g-tensor with respect to its zero-field axes. The g-tensor measured at 240 GHz differs appreciably from previous measurements of 3P at lower frequencies and also differs from that of the cation radical state P+, which has previously been characterized at high frequencies. In contrast to P+, the 3P state exhibits significant temperature dependence in its g-tensor, particularly in the directions of the principal axes, which appear to rotate by about 30° around the x principal axis over the temperature range studied. The 3P yield anisotropy first observed by Boxer and co-workers at high field using photoselection methods is also evident in the high-field EPR spectrum as a significant variation of intensity across the spectrum. This variation is analyzed in terms of two models. The first model explicitly includes the evolution of the precursor radical pair but leads to significant ambiguities in the assignment of radical pair structural parameters. The second model utilizes only two ad hoc parameters to account for the yield anisotropy, which greatly reduces fitting parameter correlations and improves the accuracy and reliability with which the 3P magnetic parameters are determined.

Particular emphasis is placed on system layout, ease of fuel reforming, overall system efficiency, specific weight of the power system, heat rejection and water recovery. These are assessed in terms of the primary system variables, i.e. the operating pressure, reforming temperature, water-to-fuel ratio in the fuel processor, and the stack temperature. It is found that the system efficiency and water recovery are intimately affected by whether the condenser is located to operate at the system operating pressure or at close to ambient pressure.

With plausible approximations and elemental algebra, analytical expressions are obtained to estimate the effects of ribs on the concentration polarization of planar fuel cell operations. It is shown that the model can closely reproduce the experimental concentration polarization curve for small and medium current density (up to about 2 A/cm2), providing a simple and effective method for engineering application. The concentration polarization caused by the presence of a rib is discussed and the concentration profiles with varying rib widths are illustrated. In connection with the electrical resistance, the determination of the optimal rib width for minimizing the overall polarization is also shown.

DNA repair is an example of a cellular process where genetic variation in families with extreme predisposition is documented to be associated with high disease likelihood, including syndromes of premature aging and cancer. Although the identification and characterization of new genes or variants in cancer families continues to be important, the focus of this paper is the current status of efforts to define the impact of polymorphic amino acid substitutions in DNA repair genes on individual and population cancer risk. There is increasing evidence that mild reductions in DNA repair capacity, assumed to be the consequence of common genetic variation, affect cancer predisposition. The extensive variation being found in the coding regions of DNA repair genes and the large number of genes in each of the major repair pathways results in complex genotypes with potential to impact cancer risk in the general population. The implications of this complexity for molecular epidemiology studies, as well as concepts that may make these challenges more manageable, are discussed. The concepts include both experimental and computational approaches that could be employed to develop predictors of disease susceptibility based on DNA repair genotype, focusing initially on studies to assess functional impact on individual proteins and pathways and then on molecular epidemiology studies to assess exposure-dependent health risk. In closing, we raise some of the non-technical challenges to the utilization of the full richness of the genetic variation to reduce disease occurrence and ultimately improve health care.

The measurements allowed us to accurately infer a magnetization radius. The inferred radius exceeds the single particle estimate by about 10% and the nuclear charge radius by about 7%. Because two isotopes were measured, we were able to observe for the first time the interaction between the finite size of the nuclear magnetization distribution and the finite size of the charge distribution on the hyperfine anomaly. The measured isotope difference of 30.59 ± 0.38 meV differs from the value of 31.04 ± 0.01 meV inferred from neutral thallium using a point magnetic dipole approximation, but is in good agreement with the difference of 30.71 ± 0.16 meV calculated by using an extended magnetic dipole.

Instr. and Meth. A 444 (2000) 156]. Our attention was focused especially on the Ne IX He-like triplet to check electron density diagnostics through the intercombination/forbidden line ratio. We have investigated possible effects of the ion dynamics on the plasma emission line intensities, looking at the dependence of the count-rate and the charge state distribution on the electron beam energy and current. The temperature and spatial distribution of the neon ions, and hence the overlap between the electron beam and the ion cloud, depend on the electron beam operating parameters. The overlap affects the average electron density seen by the ions, and in turn the measured line ratio. These results underscore the value of future improved studies of the trapped ion dynamics, both for understanding the EBIT performance and for allowing experimenters to take full advantage of its potential for astrophysical plasma diagnostics.

We have measured the radiation from n=2−1 parent lines and from KLn dielectronic recombination satellites with high wavelength resolution as function of the excitation energy using the Berlin Electron Beam Ion Trap. Values of wavelength relative to the resonance and forbidden line are tabulated and compared with references. The line intensity observed over a wide range of excitation energies is weighted with a Maxwellian electron-energy distribution to analyze line ratios as function of plasma temperature. Line ratios (j+z)/w and k/w compare nicely with theoretical predictions and demonstrate their applicability as temperature diagnostic. The ratio z/(x+y) shows not to depend on the electron density.

This paper reports on a novel use of detailed balance and the comparison of experimental results obtained by two very distinct techniques to determine both the metastable fraction of an ion beam and partial Sc3+ PR cross sections and partial Sc2+ PI cross sections for the ground state and for two metastable states. The Sc2+ to Sc3+ system presents a unique opportunity to obtain comprehensive state-selective information by combining results from PR and PI experiments.

Absolute PI cross-sections were measured in the range 40.7–56.4 eV with an energy spread of 30 meV using a photon–ion merged beams arrangement at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). Detailed calculations based on the semi-relativistic Breit–Pauli R-matrix approach suggest a fraction of 40% of metastable ions in the primary beam of the experiment. Additional high resolution measurements have been carried out with an energy spread as low as 7.5 meV. The new data permit a sensitive test of theory with respect to the individual PI cross-section contributions originating from the different 3P0,1,2 fine-structure components of the initial triplet states.

After a brief overview over the scenario of neutralization and relaxation, we focus on one particularly difficult problem: reliable estimates for two-electron transition rates for highly charged ions interacting with insulator surfaces. Three different processes are considered: intra-atomic Auger, Auger capture and Auger deexcitation. They represent input for simulations of neutralization of HCIs near surfaces. Simple universal estimates as functions of the distance to the surface, as well as initial and final state populations are presented which are believed to provide reasonable order of magnitude estimates.

Scattered charge-state distributions were measured as a function of the polar incidence angle and the target azimuthal orientation. Preliminary results indicate that “quasi-binary” collisions associated with scattering from a Rb or I site can be clearly distinguished for each scattered final charge state. The charge-state distribution and the relative Rb/I binary collision yields for scattered ions are found to depend on both the beam incidence angle and the target azimuthal orientation. The preliminary RbI(1 0 0) results are discussed in the context of earlier experimental and theoretical studies of MCI scattering on a Au(1 1 0) surface.

The resonance profiles for X-ray emission consisting of two peaks for j=1/2 and j=3/2 are characterized by suppression of the j=1/2 peak. The degeneracy of the n=2 states are removed by Stark effect due to the static crystal field. The RCE probability of these Stark splitted substates differs, reflecting the polarization of the oscillating crystal field. However, the associated alignment was not clearly observed. It is explained by the fact that both polarization of the oscillating crystal field and the wave functions of Stark-mixed n=2 states depend on the distance from the channel center, and the X-ray emission is preferred in a channel center in a crystal.

Our formalism gives a systematic path from Hamiltonians constructed by first principles to a Monte Carlo algorithm. Our Monte Carlo calculation can treat the build-up and time evolution of coherences. We employ a reduced density matrix approach in which the total system is divided into a system of interest and its environment. An equation of motion for the reduced density matrix is written in the Lindblad form using an additional approximation to the Born–Markov approximation. The Lindblad form allows the solution of this multi-state problem in terms of Monte Carlo sampling of quantum trajectories. The Monte Carlo method is advantageous in terms of computer storage compared to direct solutions of the equation of motion. We apply our method to discuss coherence properties of the internal state of a Kr35+ ion subject to spontaneous radiative decay. Simulations exhibit clear signatures of coherent transitions.

Employing a classical transport theory we analyze the angular and energy distribution formed by multiple scattering of electrons in the solid. We find that the convoy electron distribution becomes highly transverse at intermediate foil thicknesses representing an oblate spheroidal distribution due to the stepwise excitation of the HCI. The calculated convoy electron spectra are found to be in good agreement with recent measurements.

The radial pair distribution function g(r) is calculated by averaging g(r) over orientations of r. In the classical limit, g(r) is also obtained from extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. MC and HL results are shown to be in good agreement. With decreasing temperature T, the correlation peaks of g(r) and g(r) become narrower and finally freeze at T≪ℎωp being solely determined by zero-point ion vibrations.

The sample is multiphase, with the major phase [73.4(1) wt%] being Mg(B1−xCx)2 with x=0.10(2). Minor phases include MgB2C2, Mg, and MgO. The major Mg(B1−xCx)2 phase displays diffraction peak widths as sharp as for pure MgB2, indicating good C homogeneity. There is no evidence for ordering of the substituted C atoms or distortion of the host structure other than contraction of the a axis and slight expansion of the c axis. The observed changes in lattice parameters vs. C concentration provide a means for estimating the C concentration in other Mg(B1−xCx)2 samples. The reduction in Tc resulting from 10% C substitution is much larger than previously reported, suggesting that previous reports of the C concentration in Mg(B1−xCx)2 are overestimated. The Mg site occupancy is determined to be 0.990(4) which is consistent with full Mg occupancy. Given these results, the stoichiometry Mg(B0.9C0.1)2 should be used by future attempts (band structural or otherwise) to explain (i) the dramatic suppression of Tc (Tc≈22 K) and (ii) the persistence of the two-superconducting-gap feature in the specific heat data.

The crystalline structures of the YBCO films and MgO layers were examined by X-ray pole figure analysis, X-ray φ-scans, and χ-scans. A tilt angle of 33° of the MgO[0 0 1] with respect to the substrate normal and c-axis untilted YBCO films were observed, respectively. Good biaxial texture of these films with full-width-at-half-maximum values of 13.8° and 10.6° for the φ-scans of YBCO(1 0 3) and MgO(2 2 0), respectively, were obtained. Morphologies were examined by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed a unique roof-tile feature and columnar grain growth for the ISD MgO layer. Raman spectroscopy and magneto-optical image technique were also used to evaluate the quality of the YBCO film. An angular dependence of Jc on the direction of an applied magnetic field confirmed the c-axis untilted orientation of the YBCO films. Tc=90 K with sharp transition and Jc=3.0×105 A/cm2 at 77 K in zero field were obtained on 0.4-μm-thick YBCO films.

The radiative fusion data suggest statistical emission from the compound nucleus. In addition, the analysis of the high-energy γ-ray spectra associated with the different evaporation channels at the present temperature of 0.7 MeV and spin range 15–20 show a fairly narrow width of 5.0±0.35 MeV. This value is smaller than what would be expected in a nucleus where shell effects do not play a role.

The faulting is simulated as a stochastic process with the spatial variation of the key parameters determined by probability distribution functions. The wave propagation from source to site is accounted for by using small earthquake recordings as empirical Green’s functions (EGF). This accounts for the regional effects of scattering, attenuation and structure while providing the basis for a broadband (0.5–10 Hz) time history. Because we are interested in sites where the ground motion is expected to be severe, we have included nonlinear wave propagation through the soil. The material properties of the soil column have been determined from laboratory tests, borehole logs and confirmed through seismological modeling of weak motion. We have computed 240 three-component acceleration time histories to represent the range of ground motion one might expect from a M 6.8 earthquake for a site that is located 10 km above the hanging wall of blind thrust (7.1 km closest distance). Based on the suite of time histories we computed a S.D. of 0.45 (natural log units) for the acceleration response spectra in the passband 0.5–10 Hz. The total S.D. (modeling plus parameterization) is 0.6 in natural log units. The mean acceleration response spectrum is near the median 10% in 50-year probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) spectrum for the site; the 84% spectrum of the simulations is closer to the 5% in 50 years median spectrum.

Double-wall nanotubes (DWNTs) provide ideal geometries for numerous fundamental structural, electronic, thermal and vibrational studies, as well as providing a unique new platform for practical applications. The diameter distribution of DWNTs is broad, and it is possible that in previous studies using CVD-grown small-diameter nanotubes, presumed to be single-wall, there were significant numbers of DWNTs present.

This new technique links the exhaustive concentration of an analyte by SPE onto a membrane disk surface for quantitative measurement with a hand-held diffuse reflectance spectrometer. The concentration/measurement procedure is complete in ∼1 min and can be performed almost anywhere. This method has been used to monitor iodine and iodide in spacecraft water in the 0.1–5.0 ppm range and silver(I) in the range of 5.0–1000 μg/l. Applications to the trace analysis of copper(II), nickel(II), iron(III) and chromium(VI) are described. Studies on the mechanism of extraction showed that impregnation of the disk with a surfactant as well as a complexing reagent results in uptake of additional water, which markedly improves the extraction efficiency.

The RLWTF treats industrial and radioactive wastes generated at multiple research and production facilities across the LANL. Perchloric acid is the major source of the perchlorate ion in the RLWTF used in the analytical chemistry laboratories and for metal dissolution. Perchlorate is present in the influent to the RLWTF at concentrations up to several thousands μg/l level. Ion chromatography is the method of choice to analyze the concentrations of perchlorate in the wastewater generated at the RLWTF. Perchlorate was separated by elution through a CS16/CG16 with an EG40 eluent generator. To minimize background conductivity and enhance analyte conductance, an anion self-regenerating suppressor was used. The method achieved a perchlorate method detection limit of 1 μg/l. The method is successfully being used to monitor the perchlorate levels at the RLWTF and provide data for the pilot tests to remove perchlorate from the RLWTF effluent.

For beam energy of 17 keV, incident beam flux of 4.27×1011 photon/s, and beam size of 1000 μm×300 μm, the measured power input into the sample is on the order of 1 mW. The ability to deliver the energy in the form of an almost ideal square-wave made it possible to accurately analyze the response of the differential scanning calorimeter to such an input. The beam-heating effect needs to be considered in performing and evaluating differential scanning calorimetry measurements involving synchrotron X-ray sources.

T1 - A parallel block multi-level preconditioner for the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations JO - Journal of Computational Physics JF - Journal of Computational Physics Y1 - 2003/05/20/ VL - 187 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 504 SN - 00219991 AB - The development of robust and efficient algorithms for both steady-state simulations and fully implicit time integration of the Navier–Stokes equations is an active research topic. To be effective, the linear subproblems generated by these methods require solution techniques that exhibit robust and rapid convergence. In particular, they should be insensitive to parameters in the problem such as mesh size, time step, and Reynolds number. In this context, we explore a parallel preconditioner based on a block factorization of the coefficient matrix generated in an Oseen nonlinear iteration for the primitive variable formulation of the system. The key to this preconditioner is the approximation of a certain Schur complement operator by a technique first proposed by Kay, Loghin, and Wathen [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 2002] and Silvester, Elman, Kay, and Wathen [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 128 (2001) 261]. The resulting operator entails subsidiary computations (solutions of pressure Poisson and convection–diffusion subproblems) that are similar to those required for decoupled solution methods; however, in this case these solutions are applied as preconditioners to the coupled Oseen system. One important aspect of this approach is that the convection–diffusion and Poisson subproblems are significantly easier to solve than the entire coupled system, and a solver can be built using tools developed for the subproblems. In this paper, we apply smoothed aggregation algebraic multigrid to both subproblems. Previous work has focused on demonstrating the optimality of these preconditioners with respect to mesh size on serial, two-dimensional, steady-state computations employing geometric multi-grid methods; we focus on extending these methods to large-scale, parallel, three-dimensional, transient and steady-state simulations employing algebraic multigrid (AMG) methods. Our results display nearly optimal convergence rates for steady-state solutions as well as for transient solutions over a wide range of CFL numbers on the two-dimensional and three-dimensional lid-driven cavity problem.

Density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to determine stable defect configurations, defect production, and cascade-overlap effects. Defect configurations and damage accumulation have been determined experimentally by ion-channeling methods. Ion–solid interactions in SiC primarily produce interstitials, vacancies, antisite defects, and small defect clusters directly during the collision cascade. The accumulation of isolated point defects and defect clusters dominate damage accumulation processes at low doses. The growth and coalescence of defect clusters at higher doses lead to amorphization and swelling that exceeds 8%.

In all cases, the length of the craters as well as rim height and length scale with (cosθ)−1. Crater width showed a much weaker (cosθ)−0.3 dependence. Similar angular dependences were observed for the different ion species and energies used. The experimental data is compared to molecular dynamics simulations of crater formation in a model solid. The simulations show a (cosθ)−1 dependence for the crater length, but no dependence for the crater width, unless a wide initial track of excitation is used.

Although the value of γ2 0 0/γ1 1 1 for the Xe/Al interfaces is not known precisely, it is found that the pressure change with shape variation is sufficiently large even for minimum anisotropy to quantitatively account for observed differences in the state of Xe precipitates having the same volume, but different shapes, in Al.

At enough high temperature, Brownian type motion of helium bubbles in the matrix and their easy motion along the edge dislocation are observed. At low temperatures where bubbles are thermally immobile, it is found that intermittent motion of the bubble is induced along interstitial type dislocation loops that are growing or shrinking under the irradiation. Possible mechanisms for the intermittent motion under the irradiation are discussed.

Samples were irradiated at temperatures of 170, 300 and 350 K with ion fluences ranging from 0.05 to 0.60 Au2+/nm2. The in situ RBS/C analysis indicates that the relative disorder in both Sr and Ti sublattices shows a strong sigmoidal dependence on ion dose. After an ion fluence of 0.30 Au2+/nm2 at 170 K, the buried region at the damage peak (∼60 nm) becomes fully amorphous, which corresponds to a dose of ∼0.39 dpa. For irradiation at 300 and 350 K, ion fluences of 0.40 Au2+/nm2 (∼0.52 dpa) and 0.45 Au2+/nm2 (∼0.59 dpa) are necessary to achieve an amorphous state at the damage peak, respectively.

Typically, the surface damage has the shape of a crater, similar to those produced by meteorite impacts. The crater shapes are, however, often highly asymmetric and can show extended adatom ridges extending far from the crater well. Using molecular dynamics simulations we show how such exotic atom arrangements are produced. We describe atomic bridges over a crater and illustrate a slingshot-like effect which can propel atom clusters far from an impact position to produce isolated adatom islands.

SEM micrographs reveal self-organized structures with straight open pores, 50–150 nm in diameter, extending completely through the mask. As reported previously, the pore diameter and spacing depend critically upon the anodization parameters, e.g. type of acid and its molality, the applied voltage and the solution temperature. Ion-milling procedures were developed for opening the bottoms of the anodized pores. These masks appear quite robust during exposure to ion beams of 1 MeV He, Ne and Kr. The steps necessary to fabricate the implantation masks, including opening the pores, are described. Measurements are reported of the angular dependence of the transmitted ion current; these results are consistent with the physical dimensions of the opened pores. TEM images of an implanted array are also shown.

Based on the biological structure of the plant cell wall, a physical model is proposed which assumes that the wall is composed of randomly orientated layers of cylindrical microfibrils made from cellulose molecules of C6H12O6. With this model, we have determined numerical factors for ion implantation in the plant cell wall to correct values calculated from conventional ion implantation programs. Using these correction factors, it is possible to apply common ion implantation programs to estimate the ion penetration depth in the cell for bioengineering purposes. These estimates are compared with measured data from experiments and good agreement is achieved.

In this study amorphous silicon nitride and silicon carbonitride films were deposited on glass, fused silica, and carbon substrates by the plasma immersion ion processing technique. Gas pressure during the deposition was kept around 0.13 Pa (1 mTorr) and SiH4, N2, Ar and C2H2 gas mixtures were used. Film hardness, composition and UV–visible optical absorption were characterized using nanoindentation, ion beam analysis techniques, and UV–visible spectroscopy, respectively. The films exhibit high transparency in the visible and near UV regions. Addition of the carbon to the films causes decrease in the density of the films, as well as decrease in hardness and transparency. These results suggest that in the low energy regime of PIIP the deposition of hard carbon composites with nitrogen and silicon does not take place.

The impact of either single ions or cluster ions produces nanometer-sized craters on Au and ejects nanoparticles. The impact of single ions causes ejection of nanometer-sized particles of gold at the same rate as the rate of cratering leading to the conclusion that the two processes are coupled. The sputtering yield for cluster irradiation of Au exhibits a near cosine dependence on the ejection angle while the amount of Au in visible nanoparticles varies as the cube of the ejection angle.

By redistribution we mean that the final hydrogen distribution differs from the distribution of a control sample, and is attributed to sample preparation. Samples were prepared with a single boron pre-implantation, with projected range either shallower or deeper with respect to the projected range of a subsequent elevated-temperature hydrogen implantation. For shallower boron, the hydrogen redistribution was a wholesale shift in the entire distribution toward the surface, whereas for deeper boron, partial redistribution of end-of-range hydrogen toward the bulk was observed. Self-implantation experiments show that the wholesale hydrogen redistribution is not due solely to boron pre-implantation damage to the silicon lattice, but is driven by chemical effects attributed to the presence of boron.

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effects of ion implantation on fracture toughness in silicon. Specimens implanted with Ne showed increased fracture toughness, over the entire range of implantations tested. Using ions of various energies to better distribute implantation damage further increased the fracture toughness even though the region of amorphous damage was slightly decreased. The implantation damage accumulated in a predictable manner so that fracture toughness could be optimized.

The electron intensities of halo patterns recorded on imaging plates were digitized quantitatively to extract reduced interference functions. We demonstrated the relationship between maximum scattering vector (Qmax) measured in scattering experiments and the resolution of the corresponding pair-distribution function by changing Qmax values from 160 to 230 nm−1. The results revealed that the C–C peak becomes broadened and eventually a shoulder as the Qmax value becomes shorter, indicating that Qmax values of <160 nm−1 measured in previous studies are not enough to detect C–C homonuclear bonds in a-SiC. We are the first to reveal the existence of C–C and Si–Si homonuclear bonds in a-SiC using a diffraction technique.

Single crystals of 6H-SiC with [0 0 0 1] orientation were implanted with 180 keV nitrogen ions at ambient temperature to a fluence of 5 × 1017 N+/cm2, followed by thermally annealing at 1500 °C for 30 min. A fully amorphous layer was formed at the topmost layer in the as-implanted sample. A part of the amorphous phase transformed into crystalline SiC after annealing. Radial distribution functions extracted via nano-beam electron diffraction patterns clearly showed that atomistic structures of the ion-beam-induced amorphous phase are different from those of the remaining amorphous phase in the annealed sample: a-SiCxNy possesses an intermediate bond length between Si–C and Si–N, while Si–N and Si–C bonds become more pronounced in the amorphous layer of the annealed specimen.

The accumulation of disorder on the Ga sublattice has been investigated based on He+ Rutherford backscattering analysis along the 〈0 0 0 1〉-axial channeling direction. The degree of disorder in the O+ irradiated GaN increases at low doses and saturates above 10 displacements per atom (dpa). The microstructures of two O+-irradiated specimens are characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Similar planar defect structures at the saturated disorder level are observed for as-irradiated and thermally annealed GaN. The growth and annihilation of these defects during ion irradiation and thermal annealing are believed to contribute to the saturation and stability of defect concentrations.

Although it is well known that the presence of a halide such as Cl− is necessary for pit initiation, the precise role the Cl− plays in the oxide breakdown is not understood. Cl and Ar ion implantation were used to modify air passivated Al using the implantation profile to provide a variation in Cl concentration with depth, in conjunction with varying implant fluences. After irradiation, samples were exposed to a corrosive environment and the electrochemical behavior was characterized as a function of impurity level. The pitting potential varied in an inverse relationship with the Cl concentration when measured in Cl-containing solutions. In solutions without Cl it was estimated that a concentration on the order of 0.5 at.% was required to initiate pitting. Implanting the inert ion of Ar did not enhance pitting.

This study entails the investigation of the Fe(III) reduction kinetics and capacity by three fractionated NOM subcomponents in the presence or absence of the dissimilatory metal reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens CN32. Results indicate that NOM was able to reduce Fe(III) abiotically; the reduction was pH-dependent and varied greatly with different fractions of NOM. The polyphenolic-rich NOM-PP fraction exhibited the highest reactivity and oxidation capacity at a low pH (<4) as compared with the carbohydrate-rich NOM-CH fraction and a soil humic acid (soil HA) in reducing Fe(III). However, at a pH>4, soil HA showed a relatively high oxidation capacity, probably resulting from its conformational and solubility changes with an increased solution pH. In the presence of S. putrefaciens CN32, all NOM fractions were found to enhance the microbial reduction of Fe(III) under anaerobic, circumneutral pH conditions. Soil HA was found to be particularly effective in mediating the bioreduction of Fe(III) as compared with the NOM-PP or NOM-CH fractions. NOM-CH was the least effective because it was depleted in both aromatic and polyphenolic organic contents. However, because both soil HA and NOM-PP contain relatively high amounts of aromatic and phenolic compounds, results may indicate that low-molecular-weight polyphenolic organics in NOM-PP were less effective in mediating the bioreduction of Fe(III) at circumneutral pH than the high-molecular-weight polycondensed, conjugated aromatics present in soil HA. These research findings may shed additional light in understanding of the roles and underlying mechanisms of NOM reactions with contaminant metals, radionuclides, and other toxic chemicals in the natural environment.

These measurements were combined with micrometeorological flux measurements to determine emission flux measurements for various VOCs. This measurement program was part of project NOVA (Natural emissions of Oxidant precursors: Validation of techniques and Assessment) to estimate the flux of VOCs. Average emissions of VOCs (and standard error) was estimated to be 4900±700 μg/m2/h out of which emission for methanol averaged (3450±420) μg/m2/h. A methanol emission rate of 35 μg/g/h was calculated for maize from the estimated emission of methanol and biomass density for the site.

The reduction of the temperature down to 5°C will improve both photodiode light-level detection limit and statistical fluctuations; further temperature reduction will not result in improved performance. Optimum operation characteristics are already achieved for gains around 100 and do not depend significantly on the operation temperature. The relative variation of the gain with temperature increases with the biasing voltage presenting values that are almost a factor of two higher than for visible light detection.

The calculations were done with the commonly used exchange-correlation functional B3LYP followed by a comprehensive analysis of the calculated highest-occupied and lowest-unoccupied Kohn−Sham orbital (HOMO and LUMO) energies. The basis set dependence of the DFT results shows that the economical 6-31+G* basis set is generally sufficient for calculating the HOMO and LUMO energies (if the calculated LUMO energies are negative) for use in correlating with molecular properties. The directly calculated ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), electronegativity (&khgr;), hardness (η), and first electron excitation energy (&tgr;) are all in good agreement with the available experimental data. A generally applicable linear correlation relationship exists between the calculated HOMO energies and the experimental/calculated IPs. We have also found satisfactory linear correlation relationships between the calculated LUMO energies and experimental/calculated EAs (for the bound anionic states), between the calculated average HOMO/LUMO energies and &khgr; values, between the calculated HOMO−LUMO energy gaps and η values, and between the calculated HOMO−LUMO energy gaps and experimental/calculated first excitation energies. By using these linear correlation relationships, the calculated HOMO and LUMO energies can be employed to semiquantitatively estimate ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, hardness, and first excitation energy.

Most organic-based solar cells, including dye-sensitized solar cells, DSSCs, fall into the category of XSCs. In these cells, excitons are generated upon light absorption, and if not created directly at the heterointerface as in DSSCs, they must diffuse to it in order to photogenerate charge carriers. The distinguishing characteristic of XSCs is that charge carriers are generated and simultaneously separated across a heterointerface. In contrast, photogeneration of free electron−hole pairs occurs throughout the bulk semiconductor in conventional cells, and carrier separation upon their arrival at the junction is a subsequent process. This apparently minor mechanistic distinction results in fundamental differences in photovoltaic behavior. For example, the open circuit photovoltage Voc in conventional cells is limited to less than the magnitude of the band bending Øbi; however, Voc in XSCs is commonly greater than Øbi. Early work on solid-state excitonic solar cells is described as are excitonic processes in general and the use of carrier-selective (energy-selective) contacts to enhance Voc. Then studies of DSSCs, which provide a particularly simple example of XSCs, are described. A general theoretical description applicable to all solar cells is employed to quantify the differences between conventional and excitonic cells. The key difference is the dominant importance, in XSCs, of the photoinduced chemical potential energy gradient ∇μh&ngr;, which was created by the interfacial exciton dissociation process. Numerical simulations demonstrate the difference in photoconversion mechanism caused solely by changing the spatial distribution of the photogenerated carriers. Finally, the similarities and differences are explored between the three major types of XSCs:  organic semiconductor cells with planar interfaces, bulk heterojunction cells, and DSSCs.

We qualitatively and semi-quantitatively describe the data, in particular, the dependence upon the number of nucleon participants. We show that if parton saturation sets in at sufficiently small energy, then in nucleus–nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies the cross sections of semi-hard processes should scale approximately with the number of participants, Npart. Our results provide a possible explanation of both the absence of apparent jet quenching at SPS energies and its presence at RHIC. Under the same assumption we predict that in semi-central and central pA (dA) collisions at collider energies the dependence of semi-hard processes on the number of participating nucleons of the nucleus will change to ∼(NpartA)1/2. The forthcoming data on dA collisions will provide a crucial test of this description.

To test this hypothesis, Monte Carlo Potts model simulations of subgrain growth were performed on single-phase, strain-free subgrain structures with experimentally validated microstructure, texture, boundary character, and boundary properties. Results indicate that abnormal growth events emerge spontaneously during evolution in such systems, and abnormal subgrains behave as predicted by mean field theory. An analysis predicts the frequency of abnormal growth events as a function of local neighborhood and the boundary misorientation distribution. A recrystallization model is derived based on the abnormal subgrain growth analysis. Using data for aluminum subgrain structures, the model predicts reasonable recrystallized grain sizes as a function of von Mises strain. The extension of these results to abnormal grain growth is discussed.

This degradation is generally considered to be associated with the premature initiation of fatigue cracks at or near the damage sites; this is suspected to be due to, at least in part, the impact-induced residual stress state, which can be strongly tensile in these locations. However, recent experimental studies have shown the unexpected propensity for impact-induced fatigue crack formation at locations of compressive residual stress in the vicinity of the impact site. To address this issue, in situ and ex situ spatially-resolved X-ray diffraction and numerical modeling are utilized to show that the initial residual stress state can be strongly relaxed during the fatigue loading process. The magnitude and rate of relaxation is strongly dependent on the applied loads. For a Ti–6Al–4V turbine blade alloy, little relaxation was observed for an applied maximum stress of 325 MPa (0.35σy, where σy is the yield stress), and cracks tended to form in subsurface zones of tensile residual stress away from the damage sites. In contrast, at an applied maximum stress of 500 MPa (0.54σy), equal to the smooth-bar 107-cycle endurance strength, cracks tended to form at the damage sites in zones of high stress concentration that had initially been in strong compression, but had relaxed during the fatigue loading.

Residual stresses were measured using slitting (also known as the crack compliance method). Measurements were made on several coupons to: compare laser peening (LP) and shot peening (SP) residual stresses; ascertain the influence of LP parameters on residual stress; determine whether tensile residual stress existed outside the peened area; assess the variation of residual stress with in-plane position relative to the layout of the laser spots used for peening; and, determine the importance of a uniform spatial distribution of laser energy within the spot. Residual stress 0.1 mm from the surface due to LP and SP were comparable and the depth of the compressive stress for LP was far greater than for SP. Variations of most LP parameters did not significantly alter residual stress at shallow depths, but greater laser energy and larger layer overlap increased residual stress at depths between 0.2 and 0.6 mm from the surface. Residual stresses adjacent to the peened area were found to be compressive. Decreased levels of surface residual stress were found when laser spots had a non-uniform distribution of laser intensity.

Our numerical analysis is based on a benchmark scenario proposed earlier called CPX, which has been designed to showcase the effects of CP violation in the MSSM, and on several variant benchmarks. In most of the CPX parameter space, these hadron colliders will find one of the neutral MSSM Higgs bosons. However, there are small regions of parameter space in which none of the neutral Higgs bosons can be detected in the standard channels at the Tevatron and the LHC. This occurs because the neutral Higgs boson with the largest coupling to W and Z bosons decays predominantly into either two lighter Higgs bosons or a Higgs boson and a gauge boson, whilst the lighter Higgs boson has only small couplings to the W and Z bosons and the top quark. For other choices of CP-violating parameters, all three neutral Higgs bosons can have significant couplings to W and Z bosons, producing overlapping signatures: these may or may not be distinguishable from backgrounds. The existence of these regions of parameters provides a strong motivation for a detailed experimental simulation of these channels.

The slope of the Evans-Polanyi plot is 0.38, which indicates that the reactions are mildly exothermic or almost thermoneutral. This finding is supported by the O-H BDE of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), 375 ± 10 kJ mol-1, obtained by means of a thermodynamic cycle. The observed kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) are related to the reaction free-energy changes, which can be explained by a Marcus-type equation. The comparison of the PINO radical reactions with analogous hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of the dibromide radical implies that HBr2• reactions are more exothermic than the PINO radical reactions. This factor is put forth to explain the different KIEs.

The fold of AVP–pVIc is new and the structural basis for it is described in detail. The polypeptide chain of AVP folds into two domains. One domain contains a five-strand β-sheet with two peripheral α-helices; this region represents the hydrophobic core of the protein. A second domain contains the N terminus, several C-terminal α-helices, and a small peripheral anti-parallel β-sheet. The domains interact through an extended polar interface. pVIc spans the two domains like a strap, its C-terminal portion forming a sixth strand on the β-sheet. The active site is in a long, deep groove located between the two domains. Portions are structurally similar to the active site of the prototypical cysteine proteinase papain, especially some of the Cα backbone atoms (r.m.s. deviation of 0.354 Å for 12 Cα atoms). The active-site nucleophile of AVP, the conserved Cys122, was shown to have a pKa of 4.5, close to the pKa of 3.0 for the nucleophile of papain, suggesting that a similar ion pair arrangement with His54 may be present in AVP–pVIc. The interactions between AVP and pVIc include 24 non-β-strand hydrogen bonds, six β-strand hydrogen bonds and one covalent bond. Of the 204 amino acid residues in AVP, 33 are conserved among the many serotypes of adenovirus, and these aid in forming the active site groove, are involved in substrate specificity or interact between secondary structure elements.

To date, the role that these pairs play in catalysis is best understood in serine and trypsin-like proteases, where structural and biochemical NMR studies have revealed important pKa values and hydrogen bonding patterns within the catalytic pocket. However, the role of the His–Asp pair in metal-assisted catalysis is less clear. Here, we apply liquid-state NMR to investigate the role of a critical histidine residue of apurinic endonuclease 1 (Ape1), a human DNA repair enzyme that cleaves adjacent to abasic sites in DNA using one or more divalent cations and an active-site His–Asp pair. The results of these studies suggest that the Ape1 His–Asp pair does not function as either a general base catalyst or a metal ligand. Rather, the pair likely stabilizes the pentavalent transition state necessary for phospho-transfer.

The interface structural features between the films and the substrates were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). RBS channeling spectra for both CeO2/ZrO2 and Fe2O3/Al2O3 show interface disorder-related scattering peaks. It is believed that the observed interface disorder-related scattering peaks in the RBS spectra are due to interface misfit dislocations. Cross sectional HRTEM reveals that interfaces of both systems are similarly characterized by coherent regions that are separated by misfit dislocations periodically distributed along the interface. The experimentally observed dislocation spacings are approximately consistent with those calculated from the lattice mismatch, implying that the lattice mismatch is accommodated mainly by interface misfit dislocations.

The multiple scale simulation methods are presented in this paper, and in particular, an application on SiC is discussed in detail. Density functional theory (DFT) has been employed to determine defect energetics and the most favorable interstitial configurations in SiC. Based on DFT calculations, a new empirical potential has been developed in order to carry out large-scale simulations of microstructural evolution. Multimillion atom systems (up to 6 million) have been used to study defect production, defect clustering, multiple ion–solid interactions and structural evolution in SiC. The defect-stimulated growth and coalescence of clusters represents an important mechanism for irradiation-induced crystalline-to-amorphous transformation. The relative disordering and swelling behavior, as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image simulations, based on molecular dynamics results, provide atomic-level interpretations of experimentally observed features in SiC.

By using zirconia (ZrO2) as an example, we show that at the smallest particle sizes, radiation damage effects can be strongly enhanced, and that under certain conditions, materials that are generally considered to be radiation resistant can become susceptible to irradiation-induced amorphization. Bulk zirconia has previously been irradiated to 680 dpa with no evidence of amorphization; however, we find that nanocrystalline zirconia can be amorphized at a dose as low as 0.9 dpa due, in part, to the energetics of the increased surface-to-volume ratio. These results have implications for the design of nanocomposite materials for use in space vehicles and in other high-radiation environments.

This approach leads to the formation of nanocomposites with several attractive characteristics for potential applications in magnetic data storage media. A number of problems must be addressed before such applications can be realized in practice, however. One difficulty lies in the exercise of sufficiently fine control over the magnetic and microstructural properties of interest. Here, we show that Co nanocrystals produced by the ion implantation of Al2O3 can be formed either as spheroidal or well faceted single-crystal precipitates, depending on the synthesis conditions. Subsequent ion irradiation of the nanoparticles can alter the microstructure and internal chemistry of the particles as well as that of the host matrix, thereby providing a means of increasing the coercive field of the Co nanoparticles by almost two orders of magnitude.

For low fluences both Ti and Co ions are fully incorporated in Al lattice sites and remain stable up to annealing temperatures of 1000 °C. For fluences of 5×1016 cm−2 the implanted region becomes completely disordered (amorphous) for samples implanted with Ti while for Co the same condition is achieved only for higher fluences (2×1017 Co+/cm2). The recovery of the implantation damage is almost complete after annealing at 1000 °C in either oxidizing or reducing atmospheres for fluences below 5×1016 cm−2. For higher fluences annealing in a reducing ambient promotes the precipitation of crystalline metallic Co and Ti particles, as revealed by TEM and RBS. These precipitates retard the damage recovery. The presence of oxygen during annealing leads to the formation of mixed Co and Al oxides through the entire implanted region. Annealing at 1000 °C promotes the formation of a spinel phase (Al2CoO4) and the blue or green coloration of sapphire, depending on the Co fluence. Moreover, narrow red emission lines were observed. For Ti the oxides concentrate at the surface and optical absorption measurements show the presence of a broad absorption band centered at 325 nm. This band is absent in the samples annealed in a reducing atmosphere. Photoluminescence measurements reveal the presence of an emission band centered near 840 nm.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows, when observed from 〈1 1 2 0〉 zone axis, that these dislocations lie at the interface about 7.0 nm apart. Molecular-dynamics simulations were performed in order to understand the formation of misfit dislocations and the interface structural features in Fe2O3/Al2O3 system. It is found that the misfit dislocations are mainly formed in Al2O3 substrates with Burger’s vector of 1/3〈1 1 2 0〉, and terminated at the interfaces, in consistent with experiments observed previously. These dislocations can dissociate into two partial dislocations with Burger’s vectors of 1/3〈1 0 1 0〉 and 1/3〈0 1 1 0〉 by forming stacking faults on (0 0 0 1) planes. The core structures of the misfit dislocations in semicoherent interfaces are analyzed in detail, and the misfit dislocations have narrow cores in the plane of the interfaces.

In particular, Polman and co-workers have shown that 4 MeV xenon ions cause substantial changes in thin films and microspheres of fused silica. For example, 2 μm wide trenches in thin films can be partially closed and microspheres substantially distorted. In our study, we investigate implantation into bulk silica and the subsequent response to high intensity ultra violet light. Specifically, we compare the damage threshold of fused silica to intense ultra violet light at 355 nm before and after room temperature ion bombardment and find little change despite clear alteration of the stress-state in the glass. We have also performed molecular dynamics simulations in order to understand the underlying effects that lead to obscuration of optics under laser and ion irradiation.

In-situ 3.0 MeV He+ Rutherford backscattering spectrometry along the 〈1 0 0〉-axial channeling direction (RBS/C) has been applied to study the damage states ranging from small defect concentrations to a fully amorphous state. Results show that the crystal can be readily amorphized under the irradiation conditions. Room-temperature recovery of the defects produced at 150 K has been observed, while the defects produced at 300 K are thermally stable at room temperature. Results also indicate that the RBS/C analysis used in this study induced negligible damage in the near-surface regime. In addition, irradiation at and below room temperature using He+ and C3+ ions leads to surface exfoliation at the corresponding damage peaks.

Additional irradiation for the He+-irradiated specimen was carried out near room temperature using 50 MeV I10+ ions to ∼0.1 ions/nm2. In situ isothermal annealing for 6H–SiC irradiated at 500 K to 2.0 Au2+/nm2 was also conducted up to 90 min at the irradiation temperature. The lattice disorder in the irradiated samples has been determined using either 2.0 MeV He+ or 0.94 MeV D+ channeling analysis along the 〈0 0 0 1〉 axis. Results show that there is a substantial diffusion of the Si defects into a greater depth during the Au2+ irradiation at 500 and 550 K. Complete amorphization at 550 K does not occur up to a maximum fluence of 15 Au2+/nm2 in this study. Significant thermal recovery of the Si defects produced at 150 K was not observed during the subsequent thermal annealing at 500 K. Following the I10+ irradiation in the He+-irradiated specimen near room temperature, remarkable recrystallization at the amorphous–crystalline interfaces around the damage profile is observed.

The superconducting-state electron contribution is very different from that of other superconductors, but the general features are consistent with predictions for a two-gap superconductor, and a two-gap model based on BCS thermodynamics can quantitatively represent it. Parameters characterizing the gaps are in agreement with theoretical calculations. An unusually strong magnetic field dependence of the temperature-proportional term in the electron contribution to the vortex-state specific heat is another manifestation of the two gaps.

The results reveal two distinct energy gaps at Δ1=2.3 meV and Δ2=7.1 meV. Different spectral weights of the partial superconducting density of states are a reflection of different tunneling directions in this multi-band system. Our experimental observations are consistent with the existence of two-band superconductivity in the presence of interband superconducting pair interaction and quasi-particle scattering. Temperature evolution of the tunneling spectra follows the BCS scenario with both gaps vanishing at the bulk Tc. The data confirm the importance of Fermi-surface sheet dependent superconductivity in MgB2 proposed in the multi-gap model by Liu et al. .

A T2 resistivity is observed along all three crystallographic directions at low T. As the temperature is increased however, crossovers to states of reduced dimensionality are seen in both interchain resistivities ρa(T) and ρc(T). A large transverse magnetoresistance is observed in both ρa and ρc that is consistent with predictions from Boltzmann transport theory, and at sufficiently high fields, Pr124 also undergoes a magnetic-field-induced dimensional crossover. These results provide compelling evidence for a Fermi liquid ground state in Pr124.

Specific-heat data show a gradual change in the zero-field “magnetic” specific-heat anomaly from one typical of antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering at ambient pressure to one more characteristic of a Kondo singlet ground state at 21 kbar. However, at 15 kbar there is a discontinuous change from an AF ground state to a superconducting ground state, and evidence of a weak thermodynamic first-order transition. Above the critical pressure, the low-energy excitations are characteristic of superconductivity with line nodes in the energy gap, and, at intermediate pressures, of extended gaplessness.

The temperature and electron number density of the pulsed laser-induced plasma in the cavities were determined from spectroscopic measurements. Reflection and confinement effects by the cavity walls and plasma shielding were discussed to explain increased temperature and electron number density with increasing cavity aspect ratio. The temporal variations of the plasma temperature and electron number density sharply decreased inside the cavity. An adiabatic expansion model was not suitable for the laser-induced plasma in the cavity because plasma wall interactions were not included. Properties of laser-induced plasmas in the cavities and on a flat surface were compared.

We decided to use a conventional hydrogen gettering system, developed by Smith and Schicker [J.R. Schicker, AS/KCD Project No. EPN-047620, May 1994], that uses an acetylenic organic compound mixed with carbon supported palladium metal. The organic material, 1,4-bis-(phenylethynyl) benzene (DEB), is mixed with palladium and carbon by employing conventional solid state ceramic preparative techniques. Our novel codeposition process combines PVD and CVD techniques for fabricating thin-film coatings of the palladium-catalyzed DEB hydrogen gettering system. Hydrogen uptake was confirmed by 1H NMR and our novel process lends itself well to placing hydrogen getter onto complex shapes and substrates of various compositions.

Decomposition was conducted under both vacuum and atmospheric conditions. In situ analysis was conducted on samples decomposed in vacuum. As identified by X-ray diffraction, the bulk decomposition of all the rare earth sulfate samples to their corresponding oxide, in atmosphere, proceeded via the formation of an oxysulfate. For the exception of cerium(III) sulfate, similar results were obtained in thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal decomposition profile, as determined by X-ray microanalysis was similar to that observed in thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. Elemental maps revealed no observable concentration gradients of sulfur. Surface composition was not necessarily representative of the bulk composition. Thermal decomposition of sulfates to an oxide initiated at a lower temperature in vacuum than that observed at atmospheric pressure.

JO - Artificial Life JF - Artificial Life Y1 - 2003///Summer2003 VL - 9 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 269 PB - MIT Press SN - 10645462 AB - Assembling non-biological materials (geomaterials) into a proto-organism constitutes a bridge between nonliving and living matter. In this article we present a simple step-by-step route to assemble a proto-organism. Many pictures have been proposed to describe this transition within the origins-of-life and artificial life communities, and more recently alternative pictures have been emerging from advances in nanoscience and biotechnology. The proposed proto-organism lends itself to both traditions and defines a new picture based on a simple idea: Given a set of required functionalities, minimize the physicochemical structures that support these functionalities, and make sure that all structures self-assemble and mutually enhance each other's existence. The result is the first concrete, rational design of a simple physicochemical system that integrates the key functionalities in a thermodynamically favorable manner as a lipid aggregate integrates proto-genes and a proto-metabolism. Under external pumping of free energy, the metabolic processes produce the required building blocks, and only specific gene sequences enhance the metabolic kinetics sufficiently for the whole system to survive. We propose an experimental implementation of the proto-organism with a discussion of our experimental results, together with relevant results produced by other experimental groups, and we specify what is still missing experimentally. Identifying the missing steps is just as important as providing the road map for the transition. We derive the kinetic and thermodynamic conditions of each of the proto-organism subsystems together with relevant theoretical and computational results about these subsystems. We present and discuss detailed 3D simulations of the lipid aggregation processes. From the reaction kinetics we derive analytical aggregate size distributions, and derive key properties of the metabolic efficiency and stability. Thermodynamics and kinetics of the ligation directed self-replication of the proto-genes is discussed, and we summarize the full life cycle of the proto-organism by comparing size, replication time, and energy with the biomass efficiency of contemporary unicells. Finally, we also compare our proto-organism picture with existing origins-of-life and protocell pictures. By assembling one possible bridge between nonliving and living matter we hope to provide a piece in the ancient puzzle about who we are and where we come from.

Surface instruments, instruments located on two floors of a 39 story building in downtown Phoenix, and an instrumented airplane were used to characterize the evolving chemistry in the lowest 650 m of the atmosphere. Remote sensing and in situ platforms were used to obtain detailed profiles of winds and temperatures during the early morning hours and for several hours after sunrise. The analysis presented in this paper focuses on vertical profiles of CO, O3, and NO/NOy measured on the building and their relationship to the morning boundary layer evolution over Phoenix. Some features of these profiles were found that are consistent with a simple conceptual picture of nighttime trapping of pollutants in a stable surface layer and a subsequent release the following morning. On some days, however, evidence of significant vertical mixing was found during the early morning hours well before the times expected for the development of convective mixing after sunrise. Possible causes include advection, street canyon turbulence, and large-scale convergence, but a satisfactory explanation for the observed evolution of the chemical profiles has not yet been found.

The relative electron flow towards sulphate reduction was higher (59–83%) than towards methanogenesis (17–41%), although the COD recovery within the reactor varied between 15 and 90%. The results also demonstrated that the flow of electrons towards SRB increased with increase of the sulphate concentration and decrease of the COD : SO4= ratio.

JO - Biotechnology Progress JF - Biotechnology Progress Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 19 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 945 EP - 954 SN - 87567938 AB - The competitive adsorption isotherms of two closely related peptides, bradykinin and kallidin, were measured by frontal analysis on a Zorbax SB-C18 microbore column. An aqueous soluton at 20% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) was used as the mobile phase. The competitive isotherm data were fitted to four different models: Langmuir, Bilangmuir, Langmuir-Freundlich, and Toth. These data fitted best to a Bilangmuir isotherm model. The influence of the pressure on the retention factors of the two peptides was found to be small and was not investigated in detail. The band profiles of large samples of the single components and of their mixtures were recorded. The overloaded profiles calculated using either the equilibrium-dispersive or POR model are in excellent agreement with the experimental profiles in all cases. Our results confirm that the competitive isotherm data derived from mixtures may suffice for a reasonably accurate prediction of the band profiles of all mixtures of the two components, provided their composition is close to 1/1.

This process does not require the traditional blowing and stabilization steps and therefore is less costly. The resulting foam can have density values of between 0.2 and 0.6 g/cc and can develop a bulk thermal conductivity of between 40 and 180 W/m K. Because of its low density, its high thermal conductivity, its relatively high surface area, and its open-celled structure, the ORNL carbon foam is an ideal material for thermal management applications. Initial studies have shown the overall heat transfer coefficients of carbon foam-based heat sinks to be up to two orders of magnitude greater than those of conventional heat sinks.

These experimental data were fitted to the single-component and the modified competitive Bilangmuir isotherms. The overloaded elution profiles of bands of the pure enantiomers and of the racemic mixture were calculated for different sample sizes, using the best competitive isotherm model and the General Rate Model of chromatography coupled with the generalized Maxwell–Stefan equation that describes the surface diffusion flux. The calculated and the experimental profiles were found to be in excellent agreement in all cases. The parameters of the model of the mass transfer kinetics were derived from the band profiles obtained for the pure enantiomers. The same values of these parameters give an excellent prediction of the profiles of multicomponent bands. The new model described here allows a satisfactory interpretation of the competitive mass transfer kinetics.

Given the goal of mitigating climate change, it is important to consider all of the effects of changes in terrestrial vegetation and to work toward a better understanding of the full climate system. Acknowledging the importance of land surface change as a component of climate change makes it more challenging to create a system of credits and debits wherein emission or sequestration of carbon in the biosphere is equated with emission of carbon from fossil fuels.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 58 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 376 SN - 01650009 AB - We intercompare a series of multi-year simulations with a coupled regional chemistry-climate model for east Asia to assess the relative importance of direct and indirect (Type I) effects of anthropogenic sulfate on the climate of the region. Both direct and indirect aerosol effects induce a negative radiative forcing that results in a cooling of the surface and in a decrease of precipitation. Under present day sulfur emissions, the direct aerosol effects prevail during the cold season, while the indirect effects dominate in the warm season (when cloudiness is maximum over the region). When both the direct and indirect effects are included, the surface cooling varies in the range of –0.1 to over –1 K throughout the region and extended areas of statistically significant cooling are found in all seasons except winter. The indirect effects largely dominate in inhibiting precipitation, especially during the summer. When doubling the sulfur emissions, the direct effects are substantially strengthened, while the indirect effects are only marginally affected. This indicates that the indirect effects over the region might be asymptotically approaching their maximum efficiency. Overall, the indirect effects appear necessary to explain the observed temperature record over some regions of China, at least in the warm season. A number of uncertainties need to be addressed, such as due to Type II indirect effects, modeling of the relationship between aerosol concentration and cloud optical properties, and contribution of aerosols other than anthropogenic sulfate.

Although the applications of such an algorithm are many, the specific problem considered is the mortar tying of dissimilarly meshed grids in large deformation solid mechanics. The algorithm includes a nearest neighbour search, a systematic subdivision of the surface of intersection into smooth subdomains (termed segments), and a robust numerical quadrature scheme for evaluation of the spatial integrals defining the mortar projection. The procedure outlined, while discussed for the mesh tying problem, is directly applicable to the study of contact-impact. Published in 2003 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

If instead an audio-frequency rotating magnetic field is applied in a horizontal plane, the particles experience an average interaction that to first order is a negative dipolar interaction, causing particle sheet formation in the biaxial field plane. When a vertical unaixial field and a horizontal biaxial field are simultaneously applied with the field amplitudes balanced, the positive and negative dipolar interactions cancel to first order, and one might expect no dipolar interactions at all. But in this balanced triaxial field an isotropic second-order dipolar interaction of surprising magnitude remains. This classical triaxial interaction can be attractive or repulsive, and exhibits strong many-body interactions that lead to a variety of unexpected effects, including stable clusters with molecular geometries, the emergence of a particle foam, and the production of vortices in the fluid. By manipulating the triaxial field, a variety of particle structures can be made that cannot be produced by any other known means.

The 3D images of a thick tissue specimen are obtained as a stack of optical sections using confocal laser beam scanning microscope (CLSM). We have applied noise reduction and feature enhancement methods so that a smooth and slowly varying potential surface is obtained for proper convergence. To increase the capture range of the potential surface, we use a combination of distance potential and the diffused gradient potential as external forces. It has been shown that the region-based information obtained from low-level segmentation can be applied to reduce the adverse influence of the neighbouring nucleus having a strong boundary feature. We have also shown that, by increasing the axial resolution of the image stack, we can automatically propagate the optimum active contour of one image slice to its neighbouring image slices as an appropriate initial model. Results on images of prostate tissue section are presented.

SN - 00107999 AB - Hf, Zr and Ti in carbonatites primarily reside in their non-carbonate fraction while the carbonate fraction dominates the Nd and Sr elemental budget of the whole rock. A detailed investigation of the Hf, Nd and Sr isotopic compositions shows frequent isotopic disequilibrium between the carbonate and non-carbonate fractions. We suggest that the trace element and isotopic composition of the carbonate fraction better represents that of the carbonatite magma, which in turn better reflects the composition of the carbonatitic source. Experimental partitioning data between carbonatite melt and peridotitic mineralogy suggest that the Lu/Hf ratio of the carbonatite source will be equal to or greater than the Lu/Hf ratio of the carbonatite. This, combined with the Hf isotope systematics of carbonatites, suggests that, if carbonatites are primary mantle melts, then their sources must be short-lived features in the mantle (maximum age of 10–30 Ma), otherwise they would develop extremely radiogenic Hf compositions. Alternatively, if carbonatites are products of extreme crystal fractionation or liquid immiscibility then the lack of radiogenic initial Hf isotope compositions also suggests that their sources do not have long-lived Hf depletions. We present a model in which the carbonatite source is created in the sublithospheric mantle by the crystallization of earlier carbonatitic melts from a mantle plume. This new source melts shortly after its formation by the excess heat provided by the approaching hotter center of the plume and/or the subsequent ascending silicate melts. This model explains the HIMU-EMI isotope characteristics of the East African carbonatites, their high LREE/HREE ratios as well as the rarity of carbonatites in the oceanic lithosphere.

QD’s physical properties measurement system (PPMS) employs a thermal-relaxation calorimeter that operates in the temperature range of 1.8–395 K. The accuracy of the PPMS specific-heat data is determined here by comparing data measured on copper and synthetic sapphire samples with standard literature values. The system exhibits an overall accuracy of better than 1% for temperatures between 100 and 300 K, while the accuracy diminishes at lower temperatures. These data confirm that the system operates within the ±5% accuracy specified by QD. Measurements on gold samples with masses of 4.5 and 88 mg indicate that accuracy of ±3% or better can be achieved below 4 K by using samples with heat capacities that are half or greater than the calorimeter addenda heat capacity. The ability of a PPMS calorimeter to accurately measure sharp features in Cp(T) near phase transitions is determined by measuring the specific heat in the vicinity of the first-order antiferromagnetic transition in Sm2IrIn8 (T0=14 K) and the second-order hidden order (HO) transition in URu2Si2 (TN=17 K). While the PPMS measures Cp(T) near the second-order transition accurately, it is unable to do so in the vicinity of the first-order transition. We show that the specific heat near a first-order transition can be determined from the PPMS-measured decay curves by using an alternate analytical approach. This correction is required because the latent heat liberated/absorbed at the transition results in temperature–decay curves that cannot be described by a single relaxation time constant. Lastly, we test the ability of the PPMS to measure the specific heat of Mg11B2, a superconductor of current interest to many research groups, that has an unusually strong field-dependent specific heat in the mixed state. At the critical temperature the discontinuity in the specific heat is nearly 15% lower than measurements made on the same sample using a semi-adiabatic calorimeter at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

These studies demonstrated that specific, sensitive and quantitative detection could be obtained with both functional gene arrays and community genome arrays. Although single-base mismatch can be differentiated with phylogenetic oligonucleotide arrays, reliable specific detection at the single-base level is still problematic. Microarray-based hybridization approaches are also useful for defining genome diversity and bacterial relatedness. However, more rigorous and systematic assessment and development are needed to realize the full potential of microarrays for microbial detection and community analysis.

We identified 46 genes encoding bHLH proteins in the draft genome sequence of the basal chordate Ciona intestinalis. These 46 genes represent an almost complete set of bHLH genes in this animal. This number is comparable to 39 and 58 bHLH genes in those of Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster but is much smaller than the 125 in the human genome. Genes that encode NeuroD, Beta3, Oligo, SCL, NSCL, SRC, Clock and Bmal were not found in the Ciona genome. We could also identify groucho and CBP orthologues in the Ciona genome. In addition, the comparison between the numbers of orthologous human and Ciona bHLH factors reveals the simplicity of the Ciona genome, in accordance with its phylogenetic position within chordates. The present analysis provides an insight into the basic set of bHLH genes that the last common ancestor of ascidians and vertebrates had, and will provide important background information for future studies using ascidians as a model system for vertebrate development.

Genes for homeobox transcription factors. JO - Development Genes & Evolution JF - Development Genes & Evolution Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 213 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 222 EP - 234 SN - 0949944X AB - Homeobox-containing genes play crucial roles in various developmental processes, including body-plan specification, pattern formation and cell-type specification. The present study searched the draft genome sequence and cDNA/EST database of the basal chordate Ciona intestinalis to identify 83 homeobox-containing genes in this animal. This number of homeobox genes in the Ciona genome is smaller than that in the Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, human and mouse genomes. Of the 83 genes, 76 have possible human orthologues and 7 may be unique to Ciona. The ascidian homeobox genes were classified into 11 classes, including Hox class, NK class, Paired class, POU class, LIM class, TALE class, SIX class, Prox class, Cut class, ZFH class and HNF1 class, according to the classification scheme devised for known homeobox genes. As to the Hox cluster, the Ciona genome contains single copies of each of the paralogous groups, suggesting that there is a single Hox cluster, if any, but genes orthologous to Hox7, 8, 9 and 11 were not found in the genome. In addition, loss of genes had occurred independently in the Ciona lineage and was noticed in Gbx of the EHGbox subclass, Sax, NK3, Vax and vent of the NK class, Cart, Og9, Anf and Mix of the Paired class, POU-I, III, V and VI of the POU class, Lhx6/7 of the LIM class, TGIF of the TALE class, Cux and SATB of the Cut class, and ZFH1 of the ZFH class, which might have reduced the number of Ciona homeobox genes. Interestingly, one of the newly identified Ciona intestinalis genes and its vertebrate counterparts constitute a novel subclass of HNF1 class homeobox genes. Furthermore, evidence for the gene structures and expression of 54 of the 83 homeobox genes was provided by analysis of ESTs, suggesting that cDNAs for these 54 genes are available. The present data thus reveal the repertoire of homeodomain-containing transcription factors in the Ciona genome, which will be useful for future research on the development and evolution of chordates.

JO - Development Genes & Evolution JF - Development Genes & Evolution Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 213 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 235 EP - 244 SN - 0949944X AB - A survey against the draft genome sequence and the cDNA/EST database of Ciona intestinalis identified a number of genes encoding transcription factors regulating a variety of processes including development. In the present study, we describe almost complete sets of genes for Fox, ETS-domain transcription factors, nuclear receptors, and NFκB as well as other factors regulating NFκB activity, with their phylogenetic nature. Vertebrate Fox transcription factors are currently delineated into 17 subfamilies: FoxA to FoxQ. The present survey yielded 29 genes of this family in the Ciona genome, 24 of which were Ciona orthologues of known Fox genes. In addition, we found 15 ETS genes, 17 nuclear receptor genes, and several NFκB signaling pathway genes in the Ciona genome. The number of Ciona genes in each family is much smaller than that of vertebrates, which represents a simplified feature of the ascidian genome. For example, humans have two NFκB genes, three Rel genes, and five NFAT genes, while Ciona has one gene for each family. The Ciona genome also contains smaller numbers of genes for the NFκB regulatory system, i.e. after the split of ascidians/vertebrates, vertebrates evolved a more complex NFκB system. The present results therefore provide molecular information for the investigation of complex developmental processes, and an insight into chordate evolution.

These titanate compounds have a structure that consists of a three-dimensional network of corner- and edge-shared [TiO6] octahedra, 11-coordinate polyhedra for the alkali-earth ions, and [LiO4] tetrahedra in tunnels that also contain vacant tetrahedral and octahedral sites. Electrochemical data show that these compounds are capable of reversibly intercalating four lithium atoms in a three-stage process between 1.4 and 0.5 V vs. metallic lithium. The electrodes provide a practical capacity of approximately 140 mAh/g; they are, therefore, possible alternative anode materials to the lithium titanate spinel, Li4Ti5O12. The lithium intercalation mechanism and crystal structure of Li2MTi6O14 (M=Sr, Ba) electrodes are discussed and compared with the electrochemical and structural properties of Li4Ti5O12. The area-specific impedance (ASI) of Li/Li2SrTi6O14 cells was found to be significantly lower than that of Li/Li4Ti5O12 cells.

Here, we present a practical and revolutionary method that can sequester greenhouse gas emissions and, at the same time, benefit both agriculture and the economy. The proposed strategy utilizes an innovative application of chemical processes to convert CO2, NOx and SOx emissions into valuable fertilizers (mainly, NH4HCO3) that can enhance sequestration of CO2 into soil and subsoil earth layers, reduce NO3− contamination of groundwater and stimulate photosynthetic fixation of CO2 from the atmosphere. This invention integrates pollutant removing fertilizer production reactions with coal-fired power plants and other energy operations, resulting in a clean energy system that is in harmony with the earth ecosystem. This technology could contribute importantly to global CO2 sequestration and clean air protection. When this technology is in worldwide use, because of its high efficiency and carbon credit, in addition to the benefit of clean air protection and stimulation of photosynthetic fixation of CO2 from the atmosphere, maximally 300 million tons of CO2 per year (equivalent to about 5% of the CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants in the world) from smokestacks can be placed into soil by the use of this technology.

The results of the NTP''s chronic bioassays with these three compounds resulted in an unusually high incidence of uterine epithelial neoplasms in B6C3F1 mice (chloroethane 86%, bromoethane 56%) and a lower incidence for ethylene oxide (10%). The uterine neoplasms were classified as adenomas, adenocarcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas for bromoethane, and as adenocarcinomas for both chloroethane and ethylene oxide. The adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas were invasive into the myometrium and the serosa, and metastasized to a wide variety of organs. Metastatic sites included most commonly the lung, lymph nodes, and ovary at unusually highrates of metastases (79% for chloroethane and 38% for bromoethane). Because of the dramatically high rates of uterine neoplasms (induced by chemicals given by the inhalation route) and metastases, a re-evaluation of the pathology and incidence data was undertaken. The earlier results were confirmed. The mechanism of uterine carcinogenesis by chloroethane, bromoethane and ethylene oxide is unclear.

The impacts of elevated atmospheric CO2 and/or O3 have been examined over 4 years using an open-air exposure system in an aggrading northern temperate forest containing two different functional groups (the indeterminate, pioneer, O3 -sensitive species Trembling Aspen, Populus tremuloides and Paper Birch, Betula papyrifera , and the determinate, late successional, O3 -tolerant species Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum ). 2. The responses to these interacting greenhouse gases have been remarkably consistent in pure Aspen stands and in mixed Aspen/Birch and Aspen/Maple stands, from leaf to ecosystem level, for O3 -tolerant as well as O3 -sensitive genotypes and across various trophic levels. These two gases act in opposing ways, and even at low concentrations (1·5 × ambient, with ambient averaging 34–36 nL L-1 during the summer daylight hours), O3 offsets or moderates the responses induced by elevated CO2 . 3. After 3 years of exposure to 560 µmol mol-1 CO2 , the above-ground volume of Aspen stands was 40% above those grown at ambient CO2 , and there was no indication of a diminishing growth trend. In contrast, O3 at 1·5 × ambient completely offset the growth enhancement by CO2 , both for O3 -sensitive and O3 -tolerant clones. Implications of this finding for carbon sequestration, plantations to reduce excess CO2 , and global models of forest productivity and climate change are presented.

In addition to the surface sources and receivers, a high-temperature three-component seismometer was deployed in a borehole at a depth of 1250 m within the basement below the reservoir, which recorded the waves generated by all surface sources. The objective of this study was to determine the subsurface structure of the reservoir based on this surface-to-borehole dataset. A total of 1959 first-arrival travel times were determined out of 2134 possible traces. Two-dimensional ray tracing was performed to simulate wave propagation from the surface sources to the receiver at depth. The ray tracing was based on a 2-D laterally homogeneous velocity model derived from results of a vertical-seismic-profile (VSP) experiment recorded in the same well. The method is an approximation where it is assumed that differences in travel time between the observed and modeled data are caused by structural deviations from a homogeneously layered model as estimated by the VSP profile, and thus are mapped into topographic changes at depth. The results indicate, to first order, the presence of two dominant geologic features. The first observation is consistent with the regional trend of the geologic units in the Basin and Range province with a north-south strike and dip to the west, as expected for this area west of the Humboldt Thrust Range. The second is a local feature in the form of an east–west ridge. The geometry of the structure is corroborated by results from a seismic-reflection survey, and by results of a gravity survey conducted in the area above the reservoir.

SN - 09603271 AB - Ionizing radiation (IR) causes damage to DNA that is apparently proportional to absorbed dose. The incidence of radiation-induced cancer in humans unequivocally rises with the value of absorbed doses above about 300 mGy, in a seemingly linear fashion. Extrapolation of this linear correlation down to zero-dose constitutes the linear-no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis of radiation-induced cancer incidence. The corresponding dose-risk correlation, however, is questionable at doses lower than 300 mGy. Non-radiation induced DNA damage and, in consequence, oncogenic transformation in non-irradiated cells arises from a variety of sources, mainly from weak endogenous carcinogens such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as from micronutrient deficiencies and environmental toxins. In order to relate the low probability of radiation-induced cancer to the relatively high incidence of non-radiation carcinogenesis, especially at low-dose irradiation, the quantitative and qualitative differences between the DNA damages from non-radiation and radiation sources need to be addressed and put into context of physiological mechanisms of cellular protection. This paper summarizes a co-operative approach by the authors to answer the questions on the quantitative and qualitative DNA damages from non-radiation sources, largely endogenous ROS, and following exposure to low doses of IR. The analysis relies on published data and justified assumptions and considers the physiological capacity of mammalian cells to protect themselves constantly by preventing and repairing DNA damage. Furthermore, damaged cells are susceptible to removal by apoptosis or the immune system. The results suggest that the various forms of non-radiation DNA damage in tissues far outweigh corresponding DNA damage from low-dose radiation exposure at the level of, and well above, background radiation. These data are examined within the context of low-dose radiation induction of cellular signaling that may stimulate cellular protection systems over hours to weeks against accumulation of DNA damage. The particular focus is the hypothesis that these enhanced and persisting protective responses reduce the steady state level of non-radiation DNA damage, thereby reducing deleterious outcomes such as cancer and aging. The emerging model urgently needs rigorous experimental testing, since it suggests, importantly, that the LNT hypothesis is invalid for complex adaptive systems such as mammalian organisms.

The “Dual-Frequency Identification Sonar” (DIDSON) is a high-definition imaging sonar that obtains near-video quality images for the identification of objects underwater. Developed originally for the U.S. Navy by the University of Washington''s Applied Physics Laboratory, it bridges the gap between existing fisheries-assessment sonar and optical systems. The images within 12 m of this acoustic camera are sufficiently clear such that fish can be observed undulating as they swim and their orientation ascertained in otherwise zero-visibility water. In the 1.8 MHz high-frequency mode, this system 96 beams over a 29° field-of-view. The high resolution and fast frame rate provide target visualization in real time. The DIDSON can be used where conventional underwater cameras would be limited by low light levels and high turbidity.

We investigate two approaches for describing the details of airflows in large indoor spaces, for accuracy and suitability for integration with multi-zone infiltration models. One approach, called the zonal method, was developed over the last 15 years to provide an improvement over the well-mixed assumption. The second approach is the use of a computational fluid dynamics simulation using a coarse grid model of the large indoor space. We compare velocity predictions from different formulations of zonal methods and coarse-grid k -ℇ computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, to measurements, in a 2D mechanically ventilated isothermal room. Our results suggest that, when airflow details are required, coarse-grid CFD is a better-suited method to predict airflows in large indoor spaces coupled with complex multi-zone buildings, than are the zonal methods. Based on the comparison of pressure predictions from different models, we offer guidance regarding the coupling of a model of detailed airflow in large spaces to algebraic multi-zone infiltration models. Practical Implications In several applications it is desirable to model airflows and pollutant flows in complex buildings that contain large indoor spaces such as atriums or large conference halls. For developing such an integrated model, one needs to couple one of the common methods for modeling air and pollutant flows in large complex buildings (e.g., COMIS or CONTAM) with an appropriate model of the large indoor space. This work shows that airflow (and therefore air borne pollutant-flow) predictions in large spaces are substantially more accurate when obtained from a coarse-grid CFD model than from various versions of zonal models. The demand for computer resources remains modest with coarse-grid CFD. This work also discusses the practical problems related to developing such model integration by coupling pressures and airflows between a model of the large indoor space and the building airflow network model.

Hydrogen is relevant to all of the energy sectors—transportation, buildings, utilities and industry. It can provide storage options for baseload (geothermal), seasonal (hydroelectric) and intermittent (PV and wind) renewable resources, and when combined with emerging decarbonization technologies, can reduce the climate impacts of continued fossil fuel utilization. However, hydrogen energy systems still face a number of technical and economical barriers that must first be overcome for hydrogen to become a competitive energy carrier. Advances must be made in hydrogen production, storage, transport and utilization technologies and in the integration of these components into complete energy systems. To expedite the advancement of hydrogen technologies and realize a hydrogen future, nations have come together under the auspices of the International Energy Agency''s (IEA) Hydrogen Program to collaborate and address the important barriers that impede hydrogen''s worldwide acceptance. Through well-structured, collaborative projects, experts from around the world address many of the technical challenges and long-term research needs that face the hydrogen community. These collaborations have already led to significant advances in renewable hydrogen production and solid storage materials and to the development of tools to evaluate and optimize integrated hydrogen energy systems.

A particular feature is the existence of a nonperturbative, symmetry preserving truncation that enables the proof of exact results. The gap equation reveals that dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is tied to the long-range behavior of the strong interaction, which is thereby constrained by observables, and the pion is precisely understood, and seen to exist simultaneously as a Goldstone mode and a bound state of strongly dressed quarks. The systematic error associated with the simplest truncation has been quantied, and it underpins a one-parameter model efficacious in describing an extensive body of mesonic phenomena. Incipient applications to baryons have brought successes and encountered challenges familiar from early studies of mesons, and promise a covariant field theory upon which to base an understanding of contemporary large momentum transfer data.

The diepoxy compound is formed via the Diels-Alder reaction between two epoxy-containing furans and a bismaleimide. The adhesive displays a T g of -40°C and a constant shear modulus up to approximately 90°C. At temperatures exceeding 90°C the retro Diels-Alder reaction occurs, which leads to a significant loss in modulus. The loss of modulus is reversible with temperature. A thermally reversible adhesive is proposed based upon the loss of modulus at an elevated temperature, i.e., adhesives bonds are easily broken at elevated temperature where the modulus is low.

However due to recent instrumentation developments measuring vertical number fluxes of aerosols with sizes down to 10 nm became possible. Additional instrument modifications which are discussed here allows measuring size dependent fluxes of 10–100 nm aerosols and would fulfill the data gap. This study analyzes uncertainties in such measurements. Low particle count is identified as a major contributor to the measurement uncertainty, limiting the accurate estimation of size-resolved dry deposition velocities in remote environment to particles with diameters less than 50 nm using current instrumentation. Even in this size range high concentrations are required. In the case of two particle counters with different detection limits dry deposition velocity estimates can be also systematically biased, depending on the aerosol size distribution. A difference in detection limits of counters about 10 nm is narrow enough to avoid bias in size-dependent dry deposition velocities in most circumstances.

Thus, trauma-induced increase in active Ras-GTP might contribute to traumatic brain injury pathology. Based on this hypothesis, a new concept of neuroprotection is proposed, examined here by investigating the effect of the Ras inhibitor S-trans, trans-farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS) in a mouse model of closed head injury (CHI). Mice subjected to CHI were treated systemically 1 h later with FTS (5 mg/kg) or vehicle. After 1 h, Ras-GTP in the contused hemisphere showed a significant (3.8-fold) increase, which was strongly inhibited by FTS (82% inhibition) or by the NMDA-receptor antagonist MK-801 (53%). Both drugs also decreased active (phosphorylated) extracellular signal-regulated kinase. FTS prevented the CHI-induced reduction in NMDAR binding in cortical, striatal, and hippocampal regions, measured by [3H]-MK-801 autoradiography, and decreased lesion size by 50%. It also reduced CHI-induced neurologic deficits, indicated by the highly significant (P < 0.0001) 60% increase in extent of recovery. Thus, FTS provided long-term neuroprotection after CHI, rescuing NMDAR binding in the contused hemisphere and profoundly reducing neurologic deficits. These findings suggest that nontoxic Ras inhibitors such as FTS may qualify as neuroprotective drugs.

The complete set of original isopiestic molalities from that study is tabulated in the present report. In addition, published thermodynamic information for this system is reviewed and the isopiestic equilibrium molalities, electromotive force measurements for five different types of electrochemical cells, and enthalpies of mixing from these other studies are critically assessed and recalculated consistently. These combined results are used to evaluate at T=298.15 K the two mixing parameters of Pitzer’s ion-interaction model, Sθ(Cl,SO4)=(1.236±0.0325)·10−2 kg·mol−1 and ψ(Na,Cl,SO4)=(1.808±0.086)·10−3 kg2·mol−2, and their temperature derivatives {∂Sθ(Cl,SO4)/∂T}p=(2.474±0.460)·10−5 kg·mol−1·K−1 and {∂ψ(Na,Cl,SO4)/∂T}p=−(6.228±0.186)·10−5 kg2·mol−2·K−1. Also reported are parameters for an extended ion-interaction model for Na2SO4(aq), valid from T=(273.15 to 323.15) K, that were required for this mixed electrolyte solution analysis.

The energy crisis in California in 2001 made this basic issue universal. New technologies are expected to reduce pollution derived both from production processes and products, with costs that are still unknown and in competition with more mature technologies high. Nevertheless, until now there is still little, but growing knowledge concerning the process of technological innovation in the fields of energy and environment.In this paper we analyze the development of zinc air fuel cell (ZAFC) and its transfer from a research laboratory to potential mass production. ZAFC are a new ‘environmentally sound technology’, proven to have commercial value, that can be used for substituting internal combustion engines (ICEs) and meeting zero emission vehicles (ZEV) regulations. Although ZAFC performances are higher than traditional electric batteries ones, commercial costs are still high. Hence the pathway to mass production may come from stationary application of fuel cells for power.In contrast to the conventional ‘paradigmatic’ approach, we argue that the existing economic and organizational literature concerning technological innovation is not able to fully explain steps followed in commercializing energy—environmentally sound technologies. Existing models mainly consider adopting problems, which are due to market uncertainty, weak application, lack of a dominant design, and problems in reconfiguring existing organizational routines. Above all ‘market power’ exists in terms of control over technological innovation and its commercial application. Barriers are erected that prevent new technologies such as fuel cells from becoming adapted. Through pro-active government intervention, such as the case in California, new advanced technologies can move rapidly into the marketplace.From this discussion we draw some conclusions and issues for further research concerning policy making for sustaining the process of technological transfer and firms’ strategies in technological innovation.

The connection with the classical lattice-packing problem is established: any s-dimensional cubature rule can be associated with an index ρ=δs/s!N, where δ is the enhanced degree of the rule and N its abscissa count. For lattice rules, this is the packing factor of the associated dual lattice with respect to the unit s-dimensional octahedron.An individual cubature rule may be represented as a point on a plot of ρ against δ. Two of these plots are presented. They convey a clear idea of the relative cost-effectiveness of various individual rules and sequences of rules.

It has long been recognized that multiple processes associated with both physical and chemical factors can contribute to this nonideal transport behavior. To fully understand system behavior, it is important to determine the relative contributions of these multiple factors when conducting contaminant transport and fate studies. In this study, the relative contribution of physical-heterogeneity-related processes versus those of nonlinear, rate-limited sorption/desorption to the observed nonideal transport of trichloroethene in an undisturbed aquifer core was determined through a series of miscible-displacement experiments. The results of experiments conducted using the undisturbed core, collected from a Superfund site in Tucson, AZ, were compared to those obtained from experiments conducted using the same aquifer material packed homogeneously. The results indicate that both physical and chemical factors, specifically preferential flow and associated rate-limited diffusive mass-transfer and rate-limited sorption/desorption, respectively, contributed to the nonideal behavior observed for trichloroethene transport in the undisturbed core. A successful prediction of trichloroethene transport in the undisturbed core was made employing a mathematical model incorporating multiple sources of nonideal transport, using independently determined model parameters to account for the multiple factors contributing to the nonideal transport behavior. The simulation results indicate that local-scale physical heterogeneity controlled the nonideal transport behavior of trichloroethene in the undisturbed core, and that nonlinear, rate-limited sorption/desorption were of secondary importance.

To obtain data that can be used to study the development of a residual NAPL saturation in the vadose zone and to test current corresponding models, detailed transient experiments were conducted in intermediate-scale columns and flow cell. The column experiments were conducted to determine residual carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) saturations of two sands and to evaluate the effect of CCl4 vapors on the water distribution. In the intermediate-scale flow cell experiment, a rectangular zone of the fine-grained sand was packed in an otherwise medium-grained matrix. A limited amount of CCl4 was injected from a small source and allowed to redistribute until a pseudo steady state situation had developed. A dual-energy gamma radiation system was used to determine fluid saturations at numerous locations. The experiments clearly demonstrated the formation of residual CCl4 saturations in both sands. Simulations with an established multifluid flow simulator show the shortcomings of current relative permeability–saturation–capillary pressure (k–S–P) models. The results indicate that nonspreading behavior of NAPLs should be implemented in simulators to account for the formation of residual saturations.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has documented hydrogenic calcite abundances in fractures and lithophysal cavities at Yucca Mountain to provide constraints on percolation fluxes in the UZ. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between percolation flux and measured calcite abundances using reactive transport modeling. Our model considers the following essential factors affecting calcite precipitation: (1) infiltration, (2) the ambient geothermal gradient, (3) gaseous CO2 diffusive transport and partitioning in liquid and gas phases, (4) fracture–matrix interaction for water flow and chemical constituents, and (5) water–rock interaction. Over a bounding range of 2–20 mm/year infiltration rate, the simulated calcite distributions capture the trend in calcite abundances measured in a deep borehole (WT-24) by the USGS. The calcite is found predominantly in fractures in the welded tuffs, which is also captured by the model simulations. Simulations showed that from about 2 to 6 mm/year, the amount of calcite precipitated in the welded Topopah Spring tuff is sensitive to the infiltration rate. This dependence decreases at higher infiltration rates owing to a modification of the geothermal gradient from the increased percolation flux. The model also confirms the conceptual model for higher percolation fluxes in the fractures compared to the matrix in the welded units, and the significant contribution of Ca from water–rock interaction. This study indicates that reactive transport modeling of calcite deposition can yield important constraints on the unsaturated zone infiltration-percolation flux and provide useful insight into processes such as fracture–matrix interaction as well as conditions and parameters controlling calcite deposition.

Strongly [1 1 0]-textured polycrystalline silicon films are obtained by starting with a relatively low starting substrate temperature of 700°C, to increase nucleation density, then ramping up to 900°C at the end to increase growth rate. Alternatively, if a higher constant temperature of 900°C is used, we obtain polycrystalline silicon layers with randomly oriented large grains of ∼20 μm in average size. When a still higher initial substrate temperature of 1000°C is used to eliminate condensation of silicon iodides at the interface, high-quality epitaxial silicon layers are grown on silicon substrates.

Growing high optical quality crystals is a challenge due to a number of growth issues, including: cloudiness, bubble core defects, anomalous absorption, low-angle grain boundaries, cracking, and crystal inclusions. At this time, a growth process has been developed to simultaneously eliminate or diminish each of the defects.

SN - 00472433 AB - Reviews of several remedies selected and implemented under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, revealed deficiencies in remedy protectiveness although the remedy had only been in place for five years. Many of these deficiencies should have been foreseeable, and therefore preventable, at the time the remedy was selected. Analysis of successes and deficiencies noted in the CERCLA five-year reviews highlights the pivotal role that monitoring plans and land use controls have in ensuring remedy protectiveness. The analysis demonstrated that remedy protectiveness assessments and remedy modification justifications depend on robust site and remedy monitoring plans as well as on adequately developed conceptual site models. Comprehensive understanding and inferences regarding past, present, and future land and resource use at the remedy selection stage can enhance remedy protectiveness because stakeholders can determine if land use controls are necessary and if they can be implemented and enforced. The findings from this analysis of five-year reviews of remedy protectiveness are applicable to initial remedy selection decisions and subsequent enhancements of their effectiveness through time.

As a result, scientific simulations continue to investigate more and more complex systems. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is no exception. NMR theory and language is extremely well developed, that simulations have become a standard by which experiments are measured. Nowadays, complex computations can be performed on normal workstations and workstation clusters. Basic numerical operations have also become extremely optimized and new computer language paradigms have become implemented. Currently there exists no complete NMR tool kit which uses these newer techniques. This paper describes such a tool kit, BlochLib. BlochLib is designed to be the next generation of NMR simulation packages; however, the basic techniques implemented are applicable to almost any problem. BlochLib enables the user to simulate almost any NMR idea both experimental or theoretical in nature. Both classical and quantum mechanical techniques are included and demonstrated, as well as several powerful user interface tools. The total tool kit and documentation can be found at http://waugh.cchem.berkeley.edu/blochlib/.

The main aim of this work was to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the conditions suitable for HFEPR of high-spin transition metal complexes in frozen solutions, and compare them with experiments performed on solid samples. Mn(TSP) is a porphyrin complex soluble in water, in contrast to most metalloporphyrins. Mn(salen), often referred to as Jacobsen’s catalyst, is a complex widely used in organic synthesis for alkene epoxidation, and is soluble in organic solvents. High-quality HFEPR signals were observed for solid state Mn(TSP), as has been previously shown for many Mn(III) complexes. The present study is, however, the first to report high-quality HFEPR spectra of a Mn(III) complex in frozen aqueous solution. Analysis of the data yielded the following spin Hamiltonian parameters: S=2; D=−3.16±0.02 cm−1, E=0, and isotropic g=2.00(2). No X-band EPR signals were observed for Mn(TSP), which is a consequence of this being a rigorously axial spin system. Mn(salen), in contrast, did not give good quality HFEPR spectra in the solid state, but high-quality HFEPR spectra were recorded in frozen organic solutions. Analysis of the data yielded the following spin Hamiltonian parameters: S=2; D=−2.47±0.02 cm−1, |E|=0.17±0.01 cm−1, and isotropic g=2.00(2). These values differ from those reported using X-band parallel mode EPR [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123 (2001) 5710], as discussed in the text. Therefore, a comparison between HFEPR and parallel-mode X-band spectroscopy is made. Finally, the concentration sensitivity aspect of HFEPR spectroscopy is also discussed.

It is shown that all current computational schemes use a long-wave approximation which is suitable only for localized moments systems. A corresponding smallness parameter is derived in real and reciprocal space. General ‘inverse susceptibility’ approach is combined with a multiple scattering theory and applied for the studies of elementary metals Fe, Ni and Gd. It is shown how the proposed approach significantly improves the description of the exchange coupling between nearest atoms, the spin wave spectrum at large wave vectors for the itinerant degrees of freedom in metallic magnets. A consistent usage of this method leads to the proper description of magnetic short-range order effects.

Host garnet and zircon contain numerous pockets of multiple inclusions, which consist of 1–3 diamond crystals intergrown with quartz, phengite, phlogopite, albite, K-feldspar, rutile, apatite, titanite, biotite, chlorite and graphite in various combinations. Recalculation of the average chemical composition of the entrapped fluid represented by multiple inclusion pockets indicates that such fluid contained a low wt% of SiO2 , suggesting a relatively low-temperature fluid rather than a melt. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the diamond contains abundant nanocrystalline inclusions of oxides, rare carbonates and silicates. Within the 15 diamond crystals studied, abundant inclusions were found of SiO2 , TiO2 , Fex Oy , Cr2 O3 , ZrSiO4 , and single grains of Thx Oy , BaSO4 , MgCO3 , FeCr2 O4 and a stoichiometric Fe-rich pyroxene. The diversity of trace elements within inclusions of essentially the same stoichiometry suggests that the Kokchetav diamond crystallized from a fluid containing variable amounts of Si, Fe, Ti, Cr, Zr, Ba, Mg and Th and other minor components such as K, Na, P, S, Pb, Zn, Nb, Al, Ca, Cl. Most of the components in crystals included in diamond appear to have their origin in the subducted metasediments, but some of them probably originate from the mantle. It is concluded that Kokchetav diamond most likely crystallized from a COH-rich multicomponent supercritical fluid at a relatively low temperature (hence the apparently low content of rock-forming elements), and that the diversity of major and minor components suggests interactions between subducted...

Near-field images reveal that the enhanced near-field from the dressed particle's (DP) resonantly excited plasmon oscillation is efficiently absorbed by the J-aggregates. The sensitivity of the near-field images recorded at the harmonics of the probe vibration frequency suggests that the DP is releasing part of the absorbed energy radiatively upon interaction with the probe. The role of the probe in providing this new radiative relaxation channel is further confirmed as fluorescence from the J-aggregates on the particle is detected on the particle location only. We based the interpretation of our results on the near-field optical response from a bare Ag particle excited at the plasmon resonance as well as on far-field emission and transient absorption experiments.

The propane oxidation produces more OH at each temperature than does ethane oxidation. Above 600 K, the peak amplitudes of the OH signals from both reactions increase sharply with increasing temperature. Solutions to the time-dependent master equation for the C2H5 + O2, i-C3H7 + O2, and n-C3H7 + O2 reactions, employing previously published ab initio characterizations of the stationary points of the systems, have been used to produce temperature-dependent parameterizations that predict the rate constants for formation of all of the products (R + O2, RO2, QOOH, OH + aldehydes, OH + O-heterocycles, HO2 + alkene). These parameterizations are utilized in rate equation models to compare to experimental results for HO2 and OH formation in Cl-initiated ethane and propane oxidation. The models accurately describe the time behavior and amplitude of the HO2 from both oxidation systems. However, the model underpredicts the amount of OH observed at high temperatures (>600 K) and overpredicts the amount of OH observed at lower temperatures (≤600 K).

Various surface species were observed during the reactions in the range 303-483 K. Upon adsorption at 303 K in the absence of H2, cyclohexene is dehydrogenated to form 1,4-cyclohexadiene (C6H8). At 323 K, this species converts to π-allyl c-C6H9 intermediate. At temperature higher than 423 K, benzene coexists with C6H9 on the surface. Similar results were obtained in the presence of 15 Torr H2 except that in this circumstance 1,3-cyclohexadiene coexists with 1,4- cyclohexadiene at 303 K, and with C6H9 at temperature higher than 403 K. This study reports, for the first time, the existence of π-allyl c-C6H9 as a major surface species in the presence of high-pressure cyclohexene and H2 on Pt(111). In addition, adsorbed 1,3-cyclohexadiene has been observed as a reactive intermediate in the process of dehydrogenation to benzene. Finally, it has been found that excess hydrogen increases the disordering and decreases the surface coverage of the C6H9 on the surface.

Damage from the ions affects both heat capacity and magnetization measurements, although much less dramatically than in other superconductors. From these data and from direct imaging, we conclude that the irradiation does not create the amorphous columnar defects observed in high-temperature superconductors and other materials. We also find that the damage suppresses the two superconducting transitions of U0.97Th0.03Be13 by comparable amounts, unlike their response to other types of defects.

A new chemical process was developed that involved a mixed aqueous solution containing 30% H2SO4 and 30% NHxFy heated to 90 °C. The results of this process are compared to those obtained by heating the natural graphite from 1500 to 2400 °C in an inert environment (thermal process). The first-cycle coulombic efficiency of the purified natural graphite obtained by the chemical process is 91 and 84% after the thermal process at 2400 °C. Grinding the natural graphite before or after purification had no significant effect on electrochemical performance at low currents. However, grinding to a very small particle size before purification permitted optimization of the size distribution of the particles, which gives rise to a more homogenous electrode. The impurities in the graphite play a role as microabrasion agents during grinding which enhances its hardness and improves its mechanical properties. Grinding also modifies the particle morphology from a 2- to a 3-D structure (similar in shape to a potato). This potato-shaped natural graphite shows high reversible capacity at high current densities (about 90% at 1C rate). Our analysis suggests that thermal processing is considerably more expensive than the chemical process to obtain purified natural graphite.

Surface characterization included N2-adsorption isotherm data and mathematical models such as the DR equation, and BJH methods. The extent of the purity was assessed from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The electrochemical properties, i.e. the potential use as electrode in Li ion batteries, were evaluated using conventional electrochemical testing such as charge/discharge cycling and impedance spectroscopy. The results of the data analysis were promising and indicated that paper mill sludge can be successfully used to produce a pure carbon for potential use in electrochemical applications.

The rate of capacity fade on cycling was monitored as a function of the voltage window, which has provided further information about the causes of capacity fade in intermetallic electrode systems. From the voltage profiles, and by comparison with the behavior of SnSb, InSb and Cu2Sb electrodes, the electrochemical reaction of Li/Ag3Sb cells was determined to take place in several discrete stages: first, by a displacement reaction in which lithium replaces Ag in the Ag3Sb structure in a two-step process between 0.9 and 0.7 V to form Li3Sb via Li2AgSb; and second, by reaction of lithium with the extruded silver between 0.2 and 0.0 V to form LixAg compounds (1≤x≤4). The rate of capacity fade that occurs when cells are cycled between 1.2 and 0.0 V was significantly reduced by limiting the reaction to either: (1) the low voltage region (0.7–0.0 V), which provided a stable capacity of ∼300 mAh/g; or (2) to a wider operating window (1.2–0.1 V, 250 mAh/g), in which the formation of LixAg phases was suppressed.

Their micro-structure and electrochemical characteristics were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electrochemical cycling against lithium. HRTEM analysis revealed that some excess Si was present in the films. The more amorphous thinner film exhibited excellent cyclability. However, when the film becomes crystalline, the irreversible capacity loss was more significant during the initial cycling and after ∼50 cycles. Interpretations of the superior stability of the amorphous films are examined.

These results, along with coin-cell cycling data from the substituted layered (1−x)Li2TiO3·(x)LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 composite oxide electrode are reported. The cycling behavior of Li/0.05Li2TiO3·0.95LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 (x=0.95) cells over an extended voltage window (4.3 or 4.6–1.25 V) under moderate current rate have yielded rechargeable capacities above 250 mAh/g. These large capacities and structural data suggest that both the composite (1−x)Li2TiO3·(x)LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 and LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 (standard) layered electrodes operate predominantly off two-electron redox couples, Ni4+/Ni2+ and Mn4+/Mn2+, approximately between 4.6 and 2.0 V, and between 2.0 and 1.0 V versus metallic Li, respectively. The LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 layered oxide is shown to reversibly react chemically or electrochemically with Li to form a stable, but air-sensitive dilithium compound, Li2Mn0.5Ni0.5O2 (Li2MO2; M=metal ion) that can be indexed to the space group P-3m1.

The Na in the as-prepared materials could be completely ion-exchanged for Li under mild conditions. All lithium manganese oxide compounds obtained after ion-exchange have O2 stacking of the layers. Cyclic voltammetry and stepped potential experiments on lithium cells containing these materials show that the main redox reaction around 3.1 V is a diffusion-controlled process and is completely reversible. O2-Li0.6[Al0.1Mn0.85□0.05]O2 and O2-Li0.6[Ni0.1Mn0.85□0.05]O2 are particularly promising as cathode materials in lithium cells because of the high reversible discharge capacities (180 mAh/g).

Li(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O2 exhibited discharge capacities of ca. 120 and 150 mAh/g at 2.8–4.3 and 2.8–4.6 V, respectively, with slight capacity fades; the addition of 5 mol% Al, Co, Ni, and Ti increased discharge capacity by 10–30% and improved capacity retention. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data suggested that Ni and Mn exist as Ni2+ and Mn4+ so that only Ni is electrochemically active in the layered structure. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data showed that exothermic reactions of Liy(Ni0.5−xMn0.5−xM2x′)O2 charged to 4.3 V versus Li started at higher temperatures (270–290 °C) than LiNiO2-based cathode materials (e.g. 200 °C for LiNi0.8Co0.2O2), which indicates that the thermal stability of Li(Ni0.5−xMn0.5−xM2x′) is superior to that of LiNiO2-based cathode materials.

The material was prepared by the co-precipitation method, which leads to a highly stoichiometric and homogeneous powder with a desirable particle size. It has shown reasonable cycling stability at a C/2 rate up to 100 cycles, and is expected to be much more stable at lower rates and capable of providing the needed capacity. We also showed that the use of lithium fluoroalkyl-phosphate Li[PF3(C2F5)3] salt-based electrolyte significantly improves the calendar life of the battery. Aging tests have been performed under severe conditions (storage at 50 °C and 4.1 V) clearly show a huge capacity loss for the conventional cathode LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 while LiNi0.5Co0.5O2 electrode exhibits a limited capacity fading. Finally, because it has less nickel content, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements confirm that LiNi0.5Co0.5O2 is much safe than the LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 cathode.

Our results confirm previous reports that two lithium ions can be initially extracted from Li2RuO3, but that only one lithium ion can be cycled between 4.4 and 2.8 V with a rechargeable capacity of approximately 200 mAh/g. Extending the voltage window to 4.6–1.4 V increases the reversible capacity of the Li2RuO3 electrode significantly, to nearly 300 mAh/g. Similar capacities are obtained from a Zr-substituted electrode, Li2Ru1−yZryO3 for y=0.1, with excellent cycling stability. A composite electrode, 0.7LiNiO2·0.3Li2RuO3, provides a steady 150 mAh/g when cycled between 4.6 and 2.7 V.

LixNa2−xFeMn2(PO4)3 with x close to 2 was prepared from Na2FeMn2(PO4)3 by molten salt ion exchange. These materials are similar in stoichiometry to the phospho-olivines LiFe(Mn)PO4, but have a more complex structure that can accommodate mixed transition metal oxidation states. They are of interest as candidates for lithium battery cathodes because of their expected higher electronic conductivity, high intercalant ion mobility, and ease of preparation. Their performance as intercalation electrodes in non-aqueous lithium cells was, however, poor.

No evidence of grain fracture was detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the cathode layer after cycling to 4.4 V. When cycled to >4.4 V, capacity fades and cell resistance increases more rapidly, attributed to the onset of a phase transition at >4.4 V. Fracture of grains was observed by TEM in the cathode layer after cycling to 5 V. Nanocrystalline films show better cycleability to 5 V than films with a larger grain size.

For all but the thinnest cathodes or very low current densities, the discharge capacity from 4.2 to 3.0 V is limited by the lithium diffusivity in LixCoO2 and the ultimate formation of a resistive layer at the interface as x approaches 1.0. Measurements of the equilibrium open circuit potential and ac impedance upon deep discharge support this model. Promoting a higher diffusion for the 0.96 phase would greatly enhance the energy achievable by the thin-film batteries. The lithium diffusion rate in the cathode films is observed to be sensitive to subtle variations in the synthesis conditions when crystallized at temperatures ≤700 °C.

The behavior of other salts such as LiBF4 and LiTFSI are also examined. Solid LiPF6 is in equilibrium with solid LiF and PF5 gas. In the bulk electrolyte, the equilibrium can move toward products as PF5 reacts with the solvents. The Lewis acid property of the PF5 induces a ring-opening polymerization of the EC that is present in the electrolyte and can lead to PEO-like polymers. The polymerization is endothermic until 170 °C and is driven by CO2 evolution. Above this temperature the polymerization becomes exothermic and leads to a violent decomposition. The PEO-like polymers also react with the PF5 to yield further products that may be soluble in the electrolyte or participate in solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation in real cells. GPC analysis of the heated electrolytes indicates the presence of material with Mw up to 5000. More details on the polymerization reactions and further reactions with PF5 are reported. Transesterification and polymer products are observed in the electrolytes of cycled and aged Li-ion cells. Formation of polymer materials which are further cross-linked by reaction with acidic species leads to degradation of the transport properties of the electrolyte in the composite electrodes with the accompanying loss of power and energy density. Generation of CO2 in lithium-ion cells leads to saturation of the electrolyte and cessation of the polymerization reaction. However, CO2 is easily reduced at the anode to oxalate, carbonate and CO. The carbonate contributes to the SEI layer while the oxalate is sufficiently soluble to reach the cathode to be re-oxidized to CO2 thus resulting in a shuttle mechanism that explains reversible self-discharge. Irreversible reduction of CO2 to carbonate and CO partially accounts for irreversible self-discharge.

In developing electrolytes for wide temperature operations, we adopted an approach of starting with thermally stable lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) and lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiB(C2O4)2, or LiBOB) salts. We have demonstrated that the capacity of Li-ion cells fades much slower in electrolytes using LiBF4 or LiBOB than in electrolytes using LiPF6. For low temperatures applications, suitable solvent systems for LiBF4 and LiBOB were explored. We found that the charge transfer resistance (Rct) is smaller in Li-ion cells in electrolytes based on LiBF4 in selected solvent systems than that based on LiPF6 and results in better capacity utilization at low temperatures. We also found that the electrolytes based on LiBOB in PC-based solvent system would allow Li-ion cells with graphite anode to be cycled. By comparing the properties of LiBF4 and LiPF6 in the propylene carbonate and diethyl carbonate (PC–DEC) solvent system, we found that it is possible to formulate proper solvent mixtures for enhanced conductivity for LiBF4 and LiBOB salts at low temperatures. It is concluded that nonaqueous electrolytes for wide-temperature-range operations of Li-ion cells are achievable.

The flame retardants were selected from a group of organic phosphate compounds, triphenylphosphate (TPP) and tributylphosphate (TBP), to provide superior thermal safety in lithium-ion cells at the fully charged state. The cycling characteristics of the lithium-ion cells containing flame-retardant additives were found to be similar or superior to the cells that contained no additives. Horizontal burning tests of electrolytes were carried out in a flame test chamber referenced by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) test standard 94 (UL 94) and ASTM D4986-98 to evaluate the electrolyes’ flammability characteristics. The thermal stability characteristics of the electrodes and electrolytes with and without flame-retardant additives were investigated by accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC). Negative electrode samples with electrolytes containing flame-retardant additives revealed less heat generation and higher-onset decomposition temperatures. The results disclose that the thermal safety of lithium-ion cells can be improved by incorporating small amounts of suitable additives such as triphenylphosphate and tributylphosphate to the electrolyte.

We observed gradual structural degradation of the graphite, which was most pronounced on the electrode surface but also extended into the bulk of the electrode. Graphite particles close to the Cu current collector remained almost unchanged, whereas those close to the electrode/electrolyte interface suffered significant structural damage. Structural degradation of the graphite led to an increased anode surface reactivity vs. the electrolyte. A thick layer of inorganic products from side reactions was observed on the disordered carbon areas of the anode.

X-ray diffraction and HREM experiments in this work reveal that the crystallization of equilibrium inter-metallic compounds (e.g. Li–Si) is inhibited during lithiation at room temperature, and that formation of highly lithiated glass instead occurs. This glass is shown to be metastable with respect to the equilibrium crystalline phases. We show that the mechanism of electrochemical alloying is electrochemically-driven solid-state amorphization (ESA), a process closely analogous to the diffusive solid-state amorphization (SSA) of thin films. Experimental results on the diffusive reaction of Li and Si bilayer films support the proposed mechanism.

To get reasonably good XAS spectra for the electrochemically Li-ion deintercalated Li1−xMn2O4 system, we made a binder free LiMn2O4 film electrode using electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) technique. From the Mn LII,III-edge XAS, it is found that the peak shifts to higher energy with the Li-ion deintercalation and this is due to the increase of the average oxidation state of the Mn ion. From the oxygen K-edge XAS, the Li-ion deintercalation gives rise to a gradual increase in pre-edge peak intensity but mostly does not effect its peak shape.

Side reactions at the lithium electrode can change the surface concentration of lithium ions, introducing error into measurements of the cell potential as a function of bulk electrolyte concentration (concentration-cell measurements). This error introduced by a continuous side reaction is carried over into calculations of the transference number from the galvanostatic polarization method. Concentration gradients formed during passage of current are associated with a heat-of-mixing effect, which is the cause of heat generation during relaxation after cessation of the current. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations show that the decrease in conductivity with increasing salt concentration in liquid carbonate electrolytes is caused by ion association.

This heat of relaxation is termed heat of mixing. Two methods, one computational and one analytic approximation, for computing the heat of mixing are presented. In general, the magnitude of the heat of mixing will be small in materials with transport properties sufficiently high to provide acceptable battery performance, with the possible exception of heat of mixing within the insertion particles if the particle radius is large.In insertion materials, such as lithium insertion electrodes, the entropy of reaction may vary substantially with state of charge. The entropy of reaction accounts for a reversible heat effect which may be of the same order of magnitude as the resistive heating. Measurements for the entropy of reaction as a function of state of charge in LiCoO2, LiNi0.8Co0.2O2, and LiC6 are presented.

Two cell chemistries were studied, a Baseline chemistry that had a cathode composition of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 with binders, that was cycle-life tested at 25 and 45 °C, and a Variant C chemistry with a cathode composition of LiNi0.8Co0.10Al0.10O2 with binders, that was tested only at 45 °C. The 300 Wh power, and % power fade were determined as a function of test time, i.e. the number of test cycles for up to 44 weeks (369,600 test cycles) for the Baseline cells, and for 24 weeks (201,600 test cycles) for the Variant C cells. The C/1 and C/25 discharge capacity and capacity fade were also determined during the course of these studies. The results of this study indicate that the 300 Wh power for the Baseline cells tested at 25 °C (up to 44 weeks of testing) decreased as a linear function of test time. The % power fade for these cells increased as a linear function of test time. The Baseline cells tested at 45 °C (up to 44 weeks of testing) displayed a decrease in their power proportional to the square root of the test time, with a faster rate of decrease of the power occurring at ∼28 weeks of testing. The % power fade for these cells also increased as the square root of the test time, and exhibited an increase in the % power fade rate at ∼28 weeks of testing. The 45 °C tested Baseline cells’ power decreased, and their % power fade increased at a greater rate than the 25 °C tested Baseline cells. The power fade was greater for the Variant C cells. The power of the Variant C cells (tested at 45 °C) decreased as the square root of the test time, and their % power fade was also found to be a function of the square root of the test time (up to 24 weeks of testing), i.e. the rate of decrease in the power and the increase in the % power fade rate was greater for the Variant C cells than for the Baseline cells also tested at 45 °C. The C/1 and C/25 Ah capacities of the Baseline cells tested at 25 and 45 °C were determined to be a function of the square root of the cycle time (i.e. number of test cycles) for test times up to 44 weeks. The capacity fade was greater at 45 °C than at 25 °C. Similarly, the C/1 and C/25 charge capacities of the Variant C cells were found to be a function of the square root of the test time (up to 24 weeks of testing). The C/1 and C/25 charge capacities decreased as a function of test time and the rate of decrease was smaller for the Variant C cells as compared to the Baseline cells over comparable test times (24 weeks).

One of the goals of ATD is to establish validated accelerated life test protocols for lithium-ion cells in the hybrid electric vehicle application. In order to accomplish this, aging experiments have been conducted on 18650-size cells containing a chemistry representative of these high-power designs. Loss of power and capacity are accompanied by increasing interfacial impedance at the cathode. These relationships are consistent within a given state-of-charge (SOC) over the range of storage temperatures and times. Inductive models have been used to construct detailed descriptions of the relationships between power fade and aging time and to relate power fade, capacity loss and impedance rise. These models can interpolate among the different experimental conditions and can also describe the error surface when fitting life prediction models to the data.

The cells were intermittently characterized for changes in power capability, rate capacity, and impedance as aging progressed. The changes of these properties with temperature, as depicted by Arrhenius equations, were analyzed. We found that the degradation in power and capacity fade seems to relate to the impedance increase in the cell. The degradation follows a multi-stage process. The initial stage of degradation has an activation energy of the order of 50–55 kJ/mol, as derived from power fade and C1 capacity fade measured at C/1 rate. In addition, microcalorimetry was performed on two separate unaged cells at 80% SOC at various temperatures to measure static heat generation in the cells. We found that the static heat generation has an activation energy of the order of 48–55 kJ/mol, similar to those derived from power and C1 capacity fade. The correspondence in the magnitude of the activation energy suggests that the power and C1 capacity fades were related to the changes of the impedance in the cells, most likely via the same fading mechanism. The fading mechanism seemed to be related to the static heat generation of the cell.

Pressing the graphite electrode decreased the reversible capacity and the irreversible capacity loss (ICL) during formation. As electrode density increased, the capacity retention at high rate increased until 0.9 g/cm3, and then decreased. The cycle performances of the pressed graphite electrodes were more stable than the unpressed one. Pressing graphite electrode affected on its electrochemical characterization such as ICL, high rate cycling and cycle performance.

Cells with a Li anode showed capacities of 160 and 78 mAh/g LiFePO4 for C/25 and 2C discharge rates, respectively. Rapid capacity and power fade were observed in the LiFePO4/gel/NG cells during cycling and calendar life studies. Diagnostic evaluations point to the consumption of cycleable Li though a side reaction as the reason for performance fade with minimal degradation of the individual electrodes.

The 12 cm2 pouch cell showed 65% of capacity retention at 5C compared to that at C/25. The cell showed 80% of initial capacity after 80 cycles and its capacity fade rate was 11.3 μA h/cycle during constant C/2 cycling. In hybrid pulse power characterization, the discharge resistance of this cell was higher than commercial graphite/LiCoO2 cell because of low lithium diffusivity in LiFePO4. Slow rate cycling in pouch full cell showed almost 40% of capacity fade after 100 cycles. However, the 100-cycled cathode and anode did not show any capacity fading in half-cell test after disassembling full cell, suggesting that capacity fade in the full cell is caused by loss of cycleable Li.

Measurements were performed using the SNU-KAERI prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) facility at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). For proper experimental determination of the prompt k0-factors, the effective g-factor and cadmium ratio were taken into account, in consideration of the effects from the non-1/v capture cross section and neutron spectrum in the thermal and epithermal energy region. By using the actual spectrum of the neutron beam in this study, the effective g-factor was obtained by calculation, and the influence of epithermal neutrons on the capture rate was corrected by measuring the cadmium ratio for each non-1/v target isotope. The measured prompt k0-factors were used to check the consistency between the existing dataset of the absolute g-emission intensity and the 2200 m/s capture cross section for these isotopes.

The structure is quite different from that proposed previously. Although GaMn is reported to crystallize with the Al8Cr5 structure type, space group R3m, we found that the centrosymmetric space group R3¯m, with a=12.605(2) A˚ and c=8.0424(11) A˚, was more accurate. Moreover, the atomic positions and the atomic displacement parameters, which are missing in the previous study, are now refined. Thereafter, band structure calculations have been performed using the TB-LMTO-ASA method to understand the electronic and magnetic properties of this compound. Analyses from the band structure, the density of states and the magnetic moments obtained using spin-polarized calculations show the stability of two different magnetic models relative to the nonmagnetic one.

The mapped study area contains paleostress indicators in the form of calcareous concretions, which have multiple, internal fractures in precisely the same orientation as one of the surrounding joint sets in the sandstone matrix. Field and laboratory tests indicate that the stiffest concretions are the most likely to be fractured; however, results from numerical simulations using measured rock properties preclude an origin for the concretion fractures from either a far-field uniaxial tensile or compressive stress. Fracturing is only found to be possible if the concretions possessed a lower Poisson''s ratio than the sandstone at the time of fracturing. In the latter case, a far-field uniaxial compressive stress may have generated tensile effective stresses in the vicinity of high modulus concretions, seeding the field site with an initial population of concretion fractures and joints. Given the close spacing of some joints, their extension cannot be satisfactorily explained without invoking grain-scale compression-driven tensile fracturing mechanisms.

[J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 87, 1861-1870 (1990)]. This technique combines the finite element method and plane wave method to simulate three-dimensional scattering off a two-dimensional fractured layer structure. Each fracture is modeled explicitly, so that the model can simulate both discrete arrivals of scattered waves from individual fractures and multiply scattered waves between the fractures. Using this technique, we examine changes in scattering characteristics of plane elastic waves as a function of wave frequency, angle of incidence, and fracture properties such as fracture stiffness, height, and regular and irregular spacing.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 113 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3049 EP - 3059 SN - 00014966 AB - Recent studies show that a broad category of materials share "nonclassical" nonlinear elastic behavior much different from "classical" (Landau-type) nonlinearity. Manifestations of "nonclassical" nonlinearity include stress-strain hysteresis and discrete memory in quasistatic experiments, and specific dependencies of the harmonic amplitudes with respect to the drive amplitude in dynamic wave experiments, which are remarkably different from those predicted by the classical theory. These materials have in common soft "bond" elements, where the elastic nonlinearity originates, contained in hard matter (e.g., a rock sample). The bond system normally comprises a small fraction of the total material volume, and can be localized (e.g., a crack in a solid) or distributed, as in a rock. In this paper a model is presented in which the soft elements are treated as hysteretic or reversible elastic units connected in a one-dimensional lattice to elastic elements (grains), which make up the hard matrix. Calculations are performed in the framework of the local interaction simulation approach (LISA). Experimental observations are well predicted by the model, which is now ready both for basic investigations about the physical origins of nonlinear elasticity and for applications to material damage diagnostics.

Collision-induced reactions of these ions are monitored in a tandem mass spectrometer (MS) of quadrupole-octopole-quadrupole (QoQ) geometry. For Group 1and 2 elements, the M(NO3)x− ions dissociate into NO3− and neutral metal nitrate molecules. These elements also form some Mx(NO3)x+1− clusters, especially Li+. Metal nitrate ions from transition elements and Group 13 elements fragment into oxo products and also undergo internal electron transfer to leave the M atom in a lower oxidation state. To calibrate the collision energy, the dissociation energy of O-NO2− is found to be 5.55 eV, about 0.76 eV lower than a value derived from thermochemistry. The product ions from Fe(NO3)4− ions have low formation thresholds of only 0.5 to 2 eV.

The results show silicon at this length scale to be up to four times harder than bulk silicon. Detailed measurements of plasticity evolution and the corresponding hardening response in normally brittle silicon is possible in these small volumes. Based upon a proposed length scale related to the size of nanospheres in the 20–50 nm radii range, a prediction of observed hardnesses in the range of 20–50 GPa is made. The ramifications of this to computational materials science studies on identical volumes are discussed.

JO - Journal of X-Ray Science & Technology JF - Journal of X-Ray Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 83 EP - 112 PB - IOS Press SN - 08953996 AB - Cryogenic detectors are very sensitive, energy-resolving, low-threshold photon and particle detectors, which have been developed over the last decades for a variety of applications in particle physics and astrophysics. More recently, cryogenic detectors have also been applied as high-resolution, photon-counting detectors for energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray fluorescence analysis (XRFA). Cryogenic detectors can provide an about 10 times better energy resolution for x-rays than achievable with "conventional" energy-dispersive detectors, such as HPGe and Si(Li) detectors. In this review, we give a brief introduction to cryogenic detectors (Section 1) and describe the basic operating principles and achieved performance of two types of cryogenic detectors most applicable to EDS and XRFA, superconducting tunnel junctions (Section 2) and hot-electron microcalorimeters (Section 3). In section 4 we discuss various practical aspects of using these cryogenic detectors for fluorescence applications including their operation at ultra-low temperatures close to XRF specimens at room temperature and achievable solid angle and efficiency. In Section 5 we present results from selected recent EDS and XRF experiments performed with cryogenic detectors and discuss their applications in semiconductor microanalysis and in fluorescence-detected absorption spectroscopy.

Subsequent chemical treatment of the film can selectively remove the mesostructured regions, leading to patterned mesoporous structures. Such tunability in the processing under near room-temperature conditions allows for spatial control and patterning of function related to optical properties, topology, porosity, hydrophobicity, and structural morphology of the mesoscopic thin film material on a wide range of substrates.

For the preparation of nanorods, we used an organometallic precursor that decomposes thermally into InP and In metal particles. The latter serves as a nucleation catalyst for the growth of the semiconductor. Quantum rods of zinc blende structure with a high degree of crystallinity are grown along the (111) crystallographic planes. The absorption spectrum of InP nanorods with diameter of about 30 Å and 100-300 Å in length is in the visible spectral regime, suggesting a substantial blue shift with respect to the bulk (band gap 1.35 eV) that is due to size confinement. Moreover, the Stokes shift of the emission band in the quantum rods is substantially larger than the shift in the corresponding quantum dots.

Published data was used to estimate the photoconductance, convergence/divergence ratios, synaptic transfer functions, passive membrane properties and voltage-gated conductances, the latter using a Levenberg–Marquardt search algorithm. When the cone resting potential was sufficiently depolarized, synaptic feedback from horizontal cells could account for the flash response measured experimentally. Voltage-gated conductances were not significantly activated during the flash response but rather maintained the cone membrane potential inside a narrow physiological range.

There appears to be no incentive in continuing the destruction of waste beyond this level.An essential feature of the Deep-Burn Transmuter is the use of ceramic-coated fuel particles that provide very strong containment and are highly resistant to irradiation, thereby allowing very extensive destruction levels (“Deep Burn”) in the one pass, using gas-cooled modular helium reactor (MHR) technology developed for high-efficiency energy production. The fixed moderator (graphite) and neutronically transparent coolant (helium) provide a unique neutron energy spectrum to cause Deep-Burn, and inherent safety features, specific to the destruction of nuclear waste, that are not found in any other design.Deep-Burn technology could be available for deployment in a relatively short time, thus contributing effectively to waste problem solutions. Extensive modeling effort has led to conceptual Deep-Burn designs that can achieve high waste destruction levels (70% in critical mode, 90% in with a supplemental subcritical step) within the operational envelope of commercial MHR operation, including long refueling intervals and the highly efficient production of energy (approximately 50%). To the plant operator, a Deep-Burn Transmuter will be identical to its commercial reactor counterpart.

Thick-target γ-ray yield data are important for various applications, including radiation shielding near accelerators and γ-ray background interference in experiments that focus on other materials. We measured p+Al γ-ray spectra over the photon energy range 0.5–15 MeV and at 0° and 90° laboratory angle relative to the incident proton beam. In the experiment, mono-energetic proton beams of 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 MeV irradiated thick stopping targets of pure aluminum. The resulting gamma rays were detected by 7.62×7.62 cm2 NaI scintillation detectors. The spectra were unfolded using detector response functions calculated with the Monte Carlo code MCNP-4C. We report γ-ray spectra and tabulated γ-ray yields that can be used in applications that involve protons incident on thick aluminum targets at energies ⩽4 MeV.

The silicon surface barrier detector (SBD) responds to the 6Li(n, alpha)triton reaction products generated in the thin film of lithiated glass entering the SBD. Neutron spectral information is present in the pulse height spectrum. An energy response is seen that clearly shows that neutrons from a Pu–Be source and from a deuterium–tritium (D–T) pulsed neutron generator can be differentiated and counted above a gamma background. The significant result is that the fissile content within a container can be measured using a pulsed D–T neutron generator using the neutrons that are counted in the interval between the pulses.

The disadvantage of such an alpha–Be source is that they emit neutrons at a steady rate even when stored. These conventional generators are extremely awkward to use in many applications because of the neutron shielding required to prevent exposure to personnel and sensitive electronics. Recently, at our laboratory and others, the possibility of using switchable radioactive neutron sources has been investigated. These sources rely on a mechanical operation to separate the alpha-emitting radioisotope from the Be target, thus allowing the source to be switched on and off. The utility of these new switchable sources is critically dependent on the selection of the alpha-emitting radioisotope. In this paper we discuss issues that determine the desirability of an alpha-emitting source for a switchable neutron generator, and select alpha emitters that are best suited for use in this application.

The detector is constructed using a coating of 10B on a gallium–arsenide semiconductor detector and is mounted directly within a cylindrical (2.2 cm dia. and 4.4 cm long) enriched 10B4C beam stop in the time-of-flight Small Angle Neutron Diffractometer (SAND) instrument at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS) facility at ANL. The neutron beam viewed by the SAND is from a pulsed spallation source moderated by a solid methane moderator that produces useful neutrons in the wavelength range of 0.5–14 A˚. The SAND instrument uses all detected neutrons in the above wavelength range sorted by time-of-flight into 68 constant ΔT/T=0.05 channels. This new detector continuously monitors the transmitted neutron beam through the sample during scattering measurements and takes data concurrently with the other detectors in the instrument. The 10B coating on the GaAs detector allows the detection of the cold neutron spectrum with reasonable efficiency. This paper describes the details of the detector fabrication, the beam stop monitor design, and includes a discussion of results from preliminary tests using the detector during several run cycles at the IPNS.

The sensor elements have a high efficiency for detecting neutrons and exhibit excellent gamma-ray discrimination based on pulse-shape analysis. The short die-away time of the counter that is based on these detector elements allows coincidence-gate settings shorter than 10 μs. This qualifies the technology for measurements of materials with high yields of uncorrelated neutrons from 241Am(α,n) reactions. The characteristics of the new neutron counter will be illustrated with test data from measurements of plutonium, 252Cf, and gamma-ray sources. The integrated electronics design of the new detector also permits the simultaneous but independent measurement of both neutrons and gamma rays. Recent test results that illustrate some unique applications of the sensor''s versatility will also be presented.

Crystals of this scintillator have been grown using Bridgman method. This material when doped with 10% cerium has high light output (∼50,000 photons/MeV) and fast principal decay time constant (∼20 ns). Furthermore, it shows excellent energy resolution for γ-ray detection. For example, energy resolution as low as 3.2% (FWHM) has been achieved with 662 keV photons (137Cs source) at room temperature. Also, high timing resolution (264 ps—FWHM) has been recorded with LaCl3-PMT and BaF2-PMT detectors operating in coincidence using 511 keV positron annihilation γ-ray pairs. Details of crystal growth, scintillation properties, and variation of these properties with cerium concentration are also reported.

Whereas scintillators are available with a good combination of physical properties, none provides the desired combination of stopping power, light output, and decay time. A review of the numerous scintillation mechanisms of known inorganic scintillators reveals why none of them is both bright and fast. The mechanisms of radiative recombination in wide-band gap direct semiconductors, however, remain relatively unexploited for scintillators. We describe how suitably doped semiconductor scintillators could provide a combination of high light output, short decay time, and linearity of response that approach fundamental limits.

A major advantage of silicon when compared with germanium is its ability to operate at significantly higher temperatures. To determine the feasibility of using Si(Li) detectors in a Compton telescope, their performance as a function of temperature has been studied. We present leakage current, noise data and gamma-ray spectral performance at various temperatures for single 6-mm-thick planar devices. It has been determined that for detectors without a guard ring, the noise began to rise significantly around 210 K. Adding a guard ring improved the leakage current by about an order of magnitude and reduced the total noise (detector plus electronics) by about 25%. The noise of the detectors with ∼130 mm2 area and a guard ring did not exceed our performance goal of 2 keV FWHM until the temperature was approximately 240 K. For 122 keV gamma rays, no evidence of ballistic deficit was seen at 8 μs peaking time and bias voltages corresponding to an internal electric field of ∼1150 V/cm. Some evidence of ballistic deficit was seen for 662 keV gamma rays at temperatures above 220 K.

These contacts work well for unsegmented detectors. However, they both have disadvantages if used for segmented detectors. For this reason, we are developing new types of contacts that will be more robust and easier to segment. To replace the lithium n-type contact, we are using a thin layer of amorphous silicon (α-Si) with metalization on top. The new p-type contact consists of boron implanted into the silicon and annealed at the relatively low temperature of 500°C. The implantation and annealing is carried out as the first step in the process, prior to lithium drifting. Detectors have been fabricated using the new contacts both with and without a guard ring. They performed as well as detectors with standard contacts at operating temperatures between 80 and 240 K. We will present data on the leakage current vs. temperature, isolation resistance between the guard ring and the center contact versus temperature and bias voltage, electronic noise and energy resolution versus temperature, as well as 57Co spectra.

In order to develop such a structure, we are working on the R&D of large, segmented, high-purity planar Ge strip detectors (HPGeDSSD) which form the walls of such a box. We have developed a 92 mm×92 mm×20 mm HPGeDSSD, which has 16×16 orthogonal strips of 5 mm width. We are in the process of designing a focal plane detector for the Argonne fragment mass analyzer which consists of a five-sided box, each side having a HPGeDSSD backed by a large segmented clover HPGe detector. MCNP simulations indicate this detector would have an efficiency of ∼60% for 122 keV gamma rays and ∼15% for 1.33 MeV radiation, which is ideal for studying the decays of nuclei far from stability that are usually produced with very low cross-sections.

With this method the requirement for additional analog or digital signal time-analysis and pulse-amplitude correction currently used is eliminated. In contrast to conventional- and driftless-GPSCs that have always relied on long shaping-time constants (several μs), the use of very short linear amplifier shaping-time constants (∼50 ns) enables pulse shapes to closely represent the scintillation light-pulse time-profile. Since the number of detected photons in the photosensor increases continuously with depth due to the increase in the solid angle subtended by the photosensor, a maximum is achieved when the primary electron cloud is closest to the anode. This maximum depends only on the number of primary electrons in that cloud, regardless of where the X-ray absorption took place, and is proportional to the X-ray energy.

This amplifier was designed for application in the JLAB G0 Experiment E00-006 as a part of high voltage base for XP2262 Photonis PMT. According to JLAB G0 experiment requirement, these PMT''s operate with plastic scintillators at high counting rate (about MHz). Tests in JLAB experimental Hall C indicate that low energy gamma background cause up to 0.1 mA of PMT average anode current (without amplifier). At this radiation condition, PMT gain decreases by 50% within about 1 month of operation. The amplifier needs to reduce PMT anode current and to shape PMT anode pulse prior to sending it through a long cable line (more then 400 ft of RG-213 and RG-58 coax cables). Shaping of the PMT output pulse helps to reduce attenuation effect of the long cable line without significant reduction of timing accuracy. The results of this study of designed amplifier and PMT plus amplifier system are presented.

Requiring charged-particle/photon coincidence provides active shielding from environmental photon sources, and mapping photon–photon events into a coincidence plane can remove photon spectroscopy interferences. List-mode data acquisition and flexible hardware design ensures that the most sensitive coincidence schemes involving β, atomic electron, γ and X-ray emissions can be used for radionuclide quantification. System hardware design and preliminary measurement data are discussed. A centerpiece component of this project, the development of analysis tools and data libraries required to perform automated multicoincidence analysis, is also described.

In this study, pulses from the photomultiplier tubes were digitized by a 1 Gs/s analog-to-digital converter and post processed with multiple techniques. These techniques include: (1) leading edge discrimination, (2) moment-analysis, (3) constant-fraction discrimination, (4) digital constant-fraction discrimination, (5) triangular pulse shaping with a leading edge linear regression, and (6) pulse-shape fitting. Average timing resolutions of 456±8 ps were obtained with constant-fraction discrimination, which is slightly higher than the analog average resolution of 419±7 ps. This study explores the application of these digital techniques for pulse-timing applications and their potential advantages and limitations.

In contrast to conventional approaches, this circuit affords a dramatic reduction in data volume through the use of analog techniques (precision peak detectors and time-to-amplitude converters) together with fast arbitration and sequencing logic to concentrate the data before digitization. In operation the circuit functions like a data-driven analog first-in, first-out (FIFO) memory between the preamplifiers and the ADC. Peak amplitudes of pulses arriving at any one of the 32 inputs are sampled, stored, and queued for readout and digitization through a single output port. Hit timing, pulse risetime, and channel address are also available at the output.Prototype chips have been fabricated in 0.35 μm CMOS and tested. Amplitude accuracy of the peak detect and hold circuit is 0.2% (absolute) and 0.04% (nonlinearity) for signals within 0.3 V of either supply rail. Time walk is below 5 ns, droop rate is 250 mV/s, and power consumption is less than 2 mW/channel at pulse rates up to 500 kHz per channel.

To support DOE needs, Radiation Monitoring Devices Inc. has been actively carrying out research and development on a gamma-radiation imager, RadCam 2000TM. The imager is based upon a position-sensitive PMT coupled to a scintillator near a MURA coded aperture. The modulated gamma flux detected by the PSPMT is mathematically decoded to produce images that are computer displayed in near real time. Additionally, we have developed a data-manipulation scheme which allows a multi-dimensional data array, comprised of x position, y position, and energy, to be used in the imaging process. In the imager software a gate can be set on a specific isotope energy to reveal where in the field of view the gated data lies or, conversely, a gate can be set on an area in the field of view to examine what isotopes are present in that area. This process is complicated by the FFT decoding process used with the coded aperture; however, we have achieved excellent performance and results are presented here.

We are constructing such an imager with a 1.1 cm thick, crossed-strip, planar detector which has 38 strips of 2 mm pitch in each dimension followed by a large coaxial detector. Full value from this system is obtained only when the images are “fully deconvolved” meaning that the energy spectrum is available from each pixel in the image. The large number of energy bins associated with the spectral resolution of the detector, and the fixed pixel size, present significant computational challenges in generating an image in a timely manner at the conclusion of a data acquisition. The long computation times currently preclude the generation of intermediate images during the acquisition itself. We have solved this problem by building the images on-line as each event comes in using pre-imaged arrays of the system response. The generation of these arrays and the use of fractional mask-to-detector pixel sampling is discussed.

Fissile (e.g., U, Pu) and other nuclear materials (e.g., D, Be) can be detected using 6–7 MeV gamma-rays produced in the 19F(p,αγ) 16O reaction. These gamma-rays can induce neutron emission via photoneutron and photofission processes in nuclear materials. However, they are not energetic enough to generate significant numbers of neutrons from common benign materials. Neutrons are counted using an array of BF3 tubes in a polyethylene moderator. A strong increase in neutron count rates is seen when irradiating depleted uranium, Be, D2O, and 6Li, with little or no increase for other materials (e.g., H2O, SS, Cu, Al, C, 7Li). Experiments using both photon and neutron shielding show that the technique is resistant to countermeasures. We have reduced the neutron background from proton beam reactions (thus increasing the system''s sensitivity) and have tested a high-current gas cell which should be capable of operating at proton beam currents of up to 100 μA.

For nuclear safeguards, measurements must resolve the uranium complex at 186 keV and the plutonium complex at 414 keV. The need for adequate room-temperature resolution has been met by CdZnTe detectors, but these small detectors cannot produce the efficiency needed for broad application in nuclear safeguards. The high-pressure xenon (HPXe) detector offers resolution, efficiency, intrinsic radiation resistance and temperature stability, making this detector type a viable candidate for broad application in nuclear safeguards. We will examine the current status HPXe detector systems, contrast HPXe with other detector types for nuclear safeguards applications, and discuss our efforts to improve the HPXe detector operating characteristics.

However, in long-term, unattended storage scenarios, it is vital that the analysis of this count rate account for perturbations in the count rate caused by drifting equipment response, and changes in natural (radon levels, for example) or man-made background. In this paper, we report the long-term behavior of 420 silicon P–I–N diodes used as radiation detectors. Data were obtained over the course of 16–20 months at both 1-h and 1-min intervals, and, in addition to perfectly stable count rates, effects attributable to equipment failure, long-term gain drift, short-term gain drift, and software failures were observed. The results of statistical analyses of the time series will be given as well as a description of an event classification algorithm.

An associated particle neutron generator uses this spatial correlation to infer the neutron trajectory by detecting the alpha particle. This technique can be used to suppress backgrounds and in building three-dimensional images using the return excitation γ-ray energy due to the neutron interactions. The critical-performance component of the system is the alpha detection element, which is embedded within the neutron generator accelerator head. This element must be highly efficient, capable of nanosecond timing, and robust under the temperature changes encountered during manufacture. ZnO(Ga) scintillator coatings of differing thicknesses, with and without Ni overcoatings, were evaluated for this purpose, when excited by alpha particles between 3.2 and 5.4 MeV. Average light output of up to 61 photoelectrons per event was measured.

Each component is built using existing Grid middleware. The Job handling utilizes Condor Match Making Services to broker job submissions, Condor-G to schedule, and GRAM to submit and execute jobs on remote compute resources. The information services provide strategic information of the system including a file replica catalogue, compute availability, and network data-throughput rate predictions, which are made available to the other components. Data handling services are provided by SAM, the data management system built for the Dzero experiment at Fermilab, to optimize data delivery, and cache and replicate data as needed at the processing nodes. The SAM-Grid system is being built to provide experiments in progress at Fermilab the ability to utilize worldwide computing resources to process enormous quantities of data for complex physics analyses.

With a design goal of 100 ps resolution the TOF system will provide at least two standard deviations separation between and π± for momenta p < 1.6 GeV/c, complementing low momentum particle identification by means of the specific ionization energy loss measured in the drift chamber. We describe the design of the TOF detector and discuss the current status of its calibration and initial performances.

SN - 00298549 AB - We measured seasonal and interannual variations in δ13C values within the carbon reservoirs (leaves and soil) and CO2 fluxes (soil and ecosystem respired CO2) of an old growth coniferous forest in the Pacific Northwest USA with relation to local meteorological conditions. There were significant intra-annual and interannual differences in the carbon isotope ratios of CO2 respired at both the ecosystem (δ13CR) and the soil levels (δ13CR-soil), but only limited variations in the carbon isotope ratios of carbon stocks. The δ13CR values varied by as much as 4.4‰ over a growing season, while δ13CR-soil values changed as much as 6.2‰. The δ13C of soil organic carbon (δ13CSOC) and needle organic carbon (δ13CP) exhibited little or no significant changes over the course of this study. Carbon isotope discrimination within leaves (Δp) showed systematic decreases with increased canopy height, but remained fairly constant throughout the year (Δp=17.9‰–19.2‰ at the top of the canopy, Δp=19.6‰–20.9‰ at mid-canopy, Δp=23.3‰–25.1‰ at the canopy base). The temporal variation in the δ13C of soil and ecosystem respired CO2 was correlated (r=0.93, P<0.001) with soil moisture levels, with dry summer months having the most 13C-enriched values. The dynamic seasonal changes in δ13C of respired CO2 are hypothesized to be the result of fast cycling of recently fixed carbon back to the atmosphere. One scaling consequence of the seasonal and interannual variations in δ13CR is that inversion-based carbon-cycle models dependent on observed atmospheric CO2 concentration and isotope values may be improved by incorporating dynamic δ13CR values to interpret regional carbon sink strength.

Undoped MgB2 samples prepared from CVD prepared fibers consistently give critical current densities, Jc, in the range of 500,000 A/cm2 in low field at 5 K. These values fall by a factor of about 100 as the magnetic field increases to 3 T. For heavily Ti-doped boron fibers where the B/Ti ratio is comparable to 1, there is a substantial suppression of both Tc, superconducting volume fraction, and Jc values. If, however, a sample with a few percent Ti in B is deposited on a carbon substrate and reacted at 1100 °C, then Tc is suppressed only a couple of degrees and critical current densities are found to be Jc ∼ 2–5 × 106 A/cm2 for superconducting layers ranging from 4 to 10 μm thick. These materials show Jc values over 10,000 A/cm2 at 25 K and 1.3 T.

High levels of these enzymes may result in increased DNA adduct formation and cancer initiation. We investigated whether expression of CYP1B1 in breast tissue varies to a similar extent as has been shown for CYP1A1 and whether increased CYP1B1 expression could constitute a risk factor for breast cancer. Expression of CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 was measured in a collection of 75 nontumor epithelial breast tissue specimens from breast cancer patients ( n = 36) and from cancer-free individuals ( n = 39). Using a semiquantitative reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 expression levels relative to the constantly expressed β- actin gene were determined. In this study, we found 300-fold and 1,000-fold interindividual variation in expression for CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 , respectively. The mean CYP1B1 transcript level in normal breast tissue was 70% higher in mastectomy patients compared with cancer-free individuals ( p = .0473). These data suggest that CYP1B1 may play a role in breast cancer etiology, particularly in women exposed to high levels of CYP1B1 substrates such as PAHs.

There is a desire to develop lifetime assessments of this material for certification programs and as a model system for understanding other filled siloxane polymer systems. We have initiated aging studies on these materials by employing accelerated aging tests with exposure to Co-60 γ-radiation. The effects of radiation exposure have been investigated by thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), mechanical (dynamic mechanical analysis), chemical (solvent swelling), and segmental dynamics (nuclear magnetic resonance) methods. The data show that RTV-5370 undergoes predominately radiation-induced crosslinking reactions over the dose range investigated. These reactions reduce the molecular weight between crosslinks, thereby hardening the composite and reducing the motional dynamics of segmental motion. DSC studies show dose dependent crystallization phenomena.

Even with the highly efficient protein expression systems developed in Escherichia coli, production of these proteins is laborious and time-consuming. We have simplified established protocols by the use of disposable culture vessels: common 2-liter polyethylene terephthalate beverage bottles. The bottles are inexpensive, fit conveniently in commonly available flask holders, and, because they are notched, provide sufficient aeration to support the growth of high-density cultures. The use of antibiotics and freshly prepared media alleviates the need for sterilization of media and significantly reduces the labor involved. Uninoculated controls exhibited no growth during the time required for protein expression in experimental cultures. The yield, solubility, activity, and pattern of crystallization of proteins expressed in bottles were comparable to those obtained under conventional culture conditions. After use, the bottles are discarded, reducing the risk of cross-contamination of subsequent cultures. The approach appears to be suitable for high-throughput production of proteins for structural or functional studies.

To maintain the structural stability and minimize the degradation of stack performance, the sealing glass must be chemically compatible with the alloy used for the interconnect. In this work, Nicrofer6025, AISI446 and a Fecralloy were selected as examples of austenitic chromia-forming, ferritic chromia-forming, and alumina-forming alloys, respectively. Their chemical compatibility with a barium–calcium–aluminosilicate (BCAS)-based glass, specifically developed as a sealant in SOFC stacks, was evaluated. It was found that the BCAS sealing glass interacted chemically with both the chromia-forming alloys and the alumina-forming alloys. The extent and nature of the interactions and their final products depended on the matrix alloy compositions, the exposure conditions and/or proximity of the glass/alloy interface to the ambient air. These interactions and their mechanisms will be discussed with the assistance of thermodynamic modeling.

While both forward and reverse bias current were decreased in the devices as a result of decreases in channel doping and introduction of generation–recombination centers, there was no significant change observed in gate lag measurements. By sharp contrast, unpassivated devices showed significant decreases in drain current under pulsed conditions for the same proton dose. These results show the effectiveness of the oxide passivation in mitigating the effects of surface states present in the as-grown structures and also of surface traps created by the proton irradiation.

This has resulted in a desire to perform similarly broad experiments on all the proteins encoded by a genome. Panels of specific antibodies, or other binding ligands, will be essential tools in this endeavour. Because traditional immunization will be unlikely to generate antibodies in sufficient quantity, and of the required quality and reproducibility, in vitro selection methods will probably be used. This review – the first of two – examines the strategies available for in vitro antibody selection. The second review discusses the adaptation of these methods to high throughput and the uses to which antibodies, once derived, can be put.

While it is true that the California electricity market is in turmoil, other electricity markets like the Pennsylvania–NewJersey–Maryland (PJM) are doing fine. This paper assesses the mark of efficiency reached by the electricity markets in California, New York, and PJM. It also compares the degree of efficiency across markets (forward vs. real time) and across time. No significant differences between the California and PJM electricity markets were discovered in the year of California’s energy crisis (2000) using the cointegration tests. This research suggests that differences in price behavior between these two markets during 2000 did not arise from differences in efficiency. According to our analysis and measures of efficiency, PJM and California electricity markets are more efficient than the New York market. Also, as these markets become more mature over time, their efficiency level goes up. We also found evidence that a multi-settlement scheduling system leads to higher efficiency.

The complex interactions surrounding all of these issues have motivated the development of a relatively large number of energy-economic models to assist policy makers in the framing of appropriate policy directions. But how much do these models really inform the debate? The record of US model-based energy forecasting yields evidence that such models provide biased estimates that tend to reinforce the status quo, inadequately inform policy-makers about new market potential, and serve to constrain the development of innovative policies. This paper reviews some of the reasons for this conclusion and then explores the extent to which energy-economic models may reflect a more dynamic technological diffusion process that encourages new policy development.

In addition to the capillary and gravity terms within the traditional Richards equation, the HDE contains a hypodiffusive term that models an experimentally observed hold-back-pile-up (HBPU) effect and thus imparts nonmonotonicity at the wetting front. In its dimensionless form the HDE contains the dimensionless hypodiffusion number, N HD. As N HD increases, one-dimensional (1D) numerical solutions transition from monotonic to nonmonotonic. Considering the experimentally observed controls on GDF occurrence, as either the initial moisture content and applied flux increase or the material nonlinearity decreases, solutions undergo the required transition back to monotonic. Additional tests for horizontal imbibition and capillary rise show the HDE to yield the required monotonic response but display sharper fronts for N HD > 0. Finally, two-dimensional (2D) numerical solutions illustrate that in parameter space where the 1D HDE yields nonmonotonicity, in 2D it forms nonmonotonic GDF.

SN - 00496979 AB - The objective of this research was to arrive at an assessment of potential excess nitrogen (N) under different land cover categories in the Neuse River Basin (North Carolina, USA) on a seasonal basis. Data on five processes (atmospheric N deposition, fertilization, net soil N mineralization, plant uptake, and denitrification) that contribute to potential excess N under different land cover categories were obtained from a literature review. Factors were also estimated to apportion annual N fluxes among different seasons of the year. Potential excess N was calculated as the difference between inputs to and outputs from an inorganic N pool. If inputs exceeded outputs, then the difference was assumed to represent N at risk of loss from the landscape to surface receiving waters and groundwaters. Land covers that were classified as potential N sources were influenced by soil N inventories and rates of net soil N mineralization (which is a natural process). The results indicated that there are large land areas in the Neuse River Basin that could be classified as either a N source or a N sink. Such areas are potentially sensitive because future changes in land use, or small alterations in N fluxes, could convert areas that are essentially in balance with respect to N biogeochemistry into the N source or N sink category. In this respect, model predictions indicate that the timing of N inputs and outputs on the landscape can be a critical determinant of potential excess N.

Much emphasis has been given in the past to the fact that the transition matrix element from the Jπ=1+, T=0 ground state of 14N to the Jπ=0+, T=1 ground state of 14C is very close to zero, despite the fact that all the quantum numbers are right for an allowed transition. We discuss this problem, but, in particular, focus on the excitations to final states with angular momenta 1+ and 2+. We note that the summed strength to the Jπ=2+, T=1 states, calculated with a wide variety of interactions, is significantly larger than that to the Jπ=1+, T=1 final states. We investigate the relative influences of the two-particle spin–orbit and tensor forces.

This species is not, in general, a polaron. By using calculations of the geometry and the electronic structure both ab initio and at the semi-empirical levels, we have explored the conditions of polaron formation in a molecular model system: oligophenylene–vinylenes, PVs of increasing sizes. The symmetry breaking occurs at sizes larger than five monomers for the anion and six monomers for the cation. The driving force for this process is primarily the charge–lattice coupling through the stretching mode at 1600 cm−1.

Unfortunately, many sites have complications that challenge a direct application of MARSSIM. Example complications include Record of Decision (ROD) requirements that are not MARSSIM-friendly, the potential for subsurface contamination, and incomplete characterization information. These types of complications are typically the rule, rather than the exception, for sites undergoing radiologically-driven remediation and closure. One such site is the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) Linde site in Tonawanda, New York. Cleanup of the site is currently underway. The Linde site presented a number of challenges to designing and implementing a closure strategy consistent with MARSSIM. This paper discusses some of the closure issues confronted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District at the Linde site and describes how MARSSIM protocols were adapted to address these issues.

Evidence is obtained demonstrating not only that all three of these redox couples adsorb on Au but also that the behavior of the measured electron transfer kinetics for these couples is significantly perturbed from that expected for simple heterogeneous electron transfer reactions. The interpretation of the results of these measurements is, therefore, made much more complex and uncertain. Such complexity and uncertainty is greatly reduced by irreversibly attaching the redox moiety to the electrode surface as a part of a stable, organized structure (e.g. a self-assembled monolayer).

Nanocomposites prepared from precursors lacking phosphorus contain Pt-Ru nanocrystals that are highly dispersed on the carbon support, as expected. However, nanocomposites prepared from precursors possessing phosphorus contain a mixture of face-centered-cubic Pt-Ru alloy nanocrystals and primitive-cubic nanocrystals of an interstitial ternary metal phosphide phase identified as PtRuP2. Nanocomposites containing substantial amounts of nano-PtRuP2 perform as well as a commercial Pt-Ru/carbon nanocomposite in the role of an anode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells. Although the exclusion of metal phosphide phases in Pt-Ru nanocomposite syntheses is best achieved by eliminating all sources of phosphorus, the presence of PtRuP2 in such nanocomposites does not poison methanol electrooxidation. Investigation of the synthesis and electrocatalytic reactivity of pure PtRuEx (where E denotes a main-group heteroelement) phases is suggested.

T1 - CO2 Hydrate: Synthesis, Composition, Structure, Dissociation Behavior, and a Comparison to Structure I CH4 Hydrate. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/06/08/ VL - 107 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 5529 SN - 15206106 AB - Structure I (sI) carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrate exhibits markedly different dissociation behavior from sI methane (CH4) hydrate in experiments in which equilibrated samples at 0.1 MPa are heated isobarically at 13 K/h from 210 K through the H2O melting point (273.15 K). The CO2 hydrate samples release only about 3% of their gas content up to temperatures of 240 K, which is 22 K above the hydrate phase boundary. Up to 20% is released by 270 K, and the remaining CO2 is released at 271.0 ± 0.5 K, where the sample temperature is buffered until hydrate dissociation ceases. This reproducible buffering temperature for the dissociation reaction CO2·nH2O = CO2(g) + nH2O(l to s) is measurably distinct from the pure H2O melting point at 273.15 K, which is reached as gas evolution ceases. In contrast, when sI CH4 hydrate is heated at the same rate at 0.1 MPa, >95% of the gas is released within 25 K of the equilibrium temperature (193 K at 0.1 MPa). In conjunction with the dissociation study, a method for efficient and reproducible synthesis of pure polycrystalline CO2 hydrate with suitable characteristics for material properties testing was developed, and the material was characterized. CO2 hydrate was synthesized from CO2 liquid and H2O solid and liquid reactants at pressures between 5 and 25 MPa and temperatures between 250 and 281 K. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination indicates that the samples consist of dense crystalline hydrate and 50-300 μm diameter pores that are lined with euhedral cubic hydrate crystals. Deuterated hydrate samples made by this same procedure were analyzed by neutron diffraction at temperatures between 4 and 215 K; results confirm that complete conversion of water to hydrate has occurred and that the measured unit cell parameter and thermal expansion are consistent with previously reported values. On the basis of measured weight gain after synthesis and gas yields from the dissociation experiments, approximately all cages in the hydrate structure are filled such that n ≉ 5.75.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/06/08/ VL - 107 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 5623 SN - 15206106 AB - Upon irradiation of CO ligated hemoglobin or myoglobin with a laser pulse of 570 nm (2.17 eV), the proteins are electronically excited into the Q states and undergo dissociation of the CO ligand within 50 fs. Because the Q state is well-known to correspond to a π-π* transition localized at the iron porphyrin (heme) group, this should not greatly affect the binding of the CO ligand. It is shown by means of time-dependent density functional theory that, in fact, the Q states decay into the 5 A‘ ‘ and 3 A‘ singlet excited states. The latter states are repulsive along the Fe-CO stretch coordinate and, consequently, lead to the dissociation of the heme-CO bond. The nature of the repulsive states is analyzed with attachment/detachment density plots. At the equilibrium geometry of heme-CO, they can be understood as an excitation from a π-back-bonding orbital into an anti-back-bonding orbital which nicely explains their repulsive nature. However, at a separation distance of 2.5 Å, the state has charge-transfer character from the iron to the nitrogens of the porphyrin ring as well as the CO and imidazole ligand. This is in accord with a previous experimental assignment of the first intermediate of the photodissociation process to be a charge-transfer state.

To evaluate internal climate variability, we apply spectral analysis to time series of surface air temperature (SAT) from nine coupled general circulation model (GCM) simulations, three recent global paleotemperature reconstructions, and Northern Hemisphere (NH) instrumental records. Our comparison is focused on the NH due to the greater spatial and temporal coverage and validation of the available NH temperature reconstructions. The paleotemperature reconstructions capture the general magnitude of NH climate variability, but not the precise variance and specific spatial, temporal, or periodic signals demonstrated in the instrumental record. The models achieved varying degrees of success for each measure of variability analyzed, with none of the models consistently capturing the appropriate variability. In general, the models performed best in the analysis of combined mean annual land and marine variability.

Among other uses, such models are employed both to detect anthropogenic effects in the climate record of the past century and to project future climatic changes due to human production of greenhouse gases and aerosols. CMIP has archived output from both constant forcing (“control run”) and perturbed (1% per year increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide) simulations. This report summarizes results form 18 CMIP models. A third of the models refrain from employing ad hoc flux adjustments at the ocean–atmosphere interface. The new generation of non-flux-adjusted control runs are nearly as stable as—and agree with observations nearly as well as—the flux-adjusted models. Both flux-adjusted and non-flux-adjusted models simulate an overall level of natural internal climate variability that is within the bounds set by observations. These developments represent significant progress in the state of the art of climate modeling since the Second (1995) Scientific Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC; see Gates et al. [Gates, W.L., et al., 1996. Climate models—Evaluation. Climate Climate 1995: The Science of Climate Change, Houghton, J.T., et al. (Eds.), Cambridge Univ. Press, pp. 229–284]). In the increasing-CO2 runs, differences between different models, while substantial, are not as great as one might expect from earlier assessments that relied on equilibrium climate sensitivity.

Though the spatial and temporal pattern of radiative forcing from greenhouse gases differs from that of sunlight, it was shown in a recent study that these schemes would largely mitigate regional or seasonal climate change for a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 content. Here, we examine the ability of reduced solar luminosity to cancel the effects of quadrupling of CO2 content. In agreement with our previous study, geoengineering schemes could markedly diminish regional and seasonal climate change. However, there are some residual climate changes: in the geoengineered 4×CO2 climate, a significant decrease in surface temperature and net water flux occurs in the tropics; warming in the high latitudes is not completely compensated; the cooling effect of greenhouse gases in the stratosphere persists and sea ice is not fully restored. However, these residual climate changes are much smaller than the change from quadrupling of CO2 without reducing solar input. Caution should be exercised in interpretation because these results are from a single model with a number of simplifying assumptions. There are also many technical, environmental and political reasons not to implement geoengineering schemes.

Itoh et al. [Comp. Phys. Commun. 88 (1995) 173], we report implementation of a massively parallel linear-scaling algorithm into an ab initio tight-binding method called Fireball [Phys. Rev. B (2001)]. The use of local-orbitals yields a very sparse Hamiltonian matrix which facilitates using a linear-scaling algorithm to obtain the electronic band-structure energy. The general functional form of Kim et al. [Phys. Rev. B 52 (1995) 1640], which minimizes a functional to obtain the electronic band-structure energy, has been parallelized utilizing the conjugate gradient method. The results of this approach are reported here. In addition, the use of “fireball” wavefunctions, where the wavefunctions are explicitly zero beyond some cutoff, allows for pre-generating all integrals describing two- and three-center interactions. The computation of these integrals is then an easily parallelizable problem for which the results are reported. Both integral generation and the linear-scaling optimization procedures are parallelized using the standard MPI message passing interface mixed with an OpenMP strategy.

In addition to the usual quantities of mass, charge, and velocity, each particle carries an isotropic Maxwellian velocity distribution. Higher resolution of velocity space is achieved by generating more particles using a procedure that preserves the first four velocity moments. This velocity space fragmentation is essential for capturing non-Maxwellian plasma behavior. The model developed here allows the efficient simulation of partially collisional plasmas by reducing both the number of particle pairings required per time step and the number of particles needed to retain non-Maxwellian plasma behavior. The method produces reasonable results when the time step is large relative to the collision frequencies and works in the limit of one particle per species per cell. Particle merging can be exploited to control the number of particles in a natural way. The collision process is fully three-dimensional and conserves energy and momentum exactly. Results from 3v and 1d3v simulations are presented and compared with previous multi-fluid and fully kinetic PIC simulations.

The objective is to quantify the difference between the predictions obtained from MCS and SME. Natural formations with high permeability variability and large spatial correlation scales are of special interest for underground resources (e.g. oil and water). Consequently, we focus on such formations. We investigated fields with variance of log-permeability, σY2, from 0.1 to 3.0 and correlation scales (normalized by domain length) of 0.05 to 0.5. In order to avoid issues related to statistical convergence and resolution level, we used 9000 highly resolved realizations of permeability for MCS. We derive exact discrete forms of the statistical moment equations. Formulations based on equations written explicitly in terms of permeability (K-based) and log-transformed permeability (Y-based) are considered. The discrete forms are applicable to systems of arbitrary variance and correlation scales. However, equations governing a particular statistical moment depend on higher moments. Thus, while the moment equations are exact, they are not closed. In particular, the discrete form of the second moment of pressure includes two triplet terms that involve log-permeability (or permeability) and pressure. We combined MCS computations with full discrete SME equations to quantify the importance of the various terms that make up the moment equations. We show that second-moment solutions obtained using a low-order Y-based SME formulation are significantly better than those from K-based formulations, especially when σY2>1. As a result, Y-based formulations are preferred. The two triplet terms are complex functions of the variance level and correlation length. The importance (contribution) of these triplet terms increases dramatically as σY2 increases above one. We also show that one of the triplet terms is much more important than the other. When comparing K-based MCS with Y-based SME, model differences must be taken into consideration. These differences (model errors) are due to embedded assumptions and differences in implementing the discrete forms of the equations.

Recovery occurs during annealing from 100 to 230 °C resulting in strain relaxation and grain coarsening, and recrystallization proceeds at higher temperatures up to about 370 °C with further grain growth. The stored enthalpy release during recovery was estimated to be ~450 J/mol, which is considerably higher than that in materials processed by other known cold-working methods. Only a fraction of the measured enthalpy was found to arise from the enthalpy releases due to grain coarsening and the reduction of high dislocation density. Both recovery and recrystallization give rise to non-uniform, bimodal grain-size distributions, which may result from heterogeneous nanostructures in the as-milled state. The detailed microscopic observations strongly support that grain coalescence is a feasible mechanism for grain coarsening during the recovery. In addition, the activation energy for recovery was calculated to be ~120 kJ/mol, indicating the process is diffusion-controlled (Mg in Al), whereas the activation energy for recrystallization was considerably higher, ~190 kJ/mol.

Within the 600–1100 °C temperature range of these studies, narrower temperature ranges were determined for the growth of distinct types of aligned multi-walled CNTs and single-walled CNTs by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. At 900 °C, in contrast to earlier work, double-walled CNTs are found more abundant than single-walled CNTs. Defects also are found to accumulate faster than the ordered graphitic structure if the growth of CNTs is extended to long durations.

The calculated gas phase structures of TATB are close to the experimental crystal structures. Two isomers of the TATB dimer are considered. One resembles the structures found experimentally for the A–B sheet of the molecular crystal. The other, a stacked ring (‘C’) configuration, yields an eclipsed structure, while the crystal data suggest two rings displaced relative to each other. Electron correlation effects are of greater importance for the stacked C-dimer than the planar AB-dimer. Furthermore, many-body contributions to the total interaction energy are found to be of limited importance.

Physical properties include the density and heterogeneity of the item''s nonnuclear material and the type of interfering species, such as hydrogen in the case of neutron counting. Some assay techniques are less sensitive to variation in physical properties than others and can be used to generate working standards. Provided that a reference assay method 1 (often calorimetry) is available that is well characterized (having negligible or known dependence on varying physical properties), we can assess the total measurement error of another method 2. In this paper we consider the impact of the number of measurement categories on the measurement error standard deviation of method 2. We assume that working standards (traceable to primary reference standards) are provided by the method 1 assay of actual facility items. Given the same number of working standards, we evaluate the tradeoff between using more working standards for each of a fewer number of categories versus using fewer standards in each of more categories. This leads to a method to determine a good allocation of working standards.

The adiabatic electron detachment energy (ADE) of each species and the intramolecular Coulomb repulsion for the doubly charged species were obtained. The ADEs correspond to the intrinsic redox potentials (in vacuo) of reactions involving the Fe(I)-Fe(I)/Fe(I)-Fe(II) couples in these compounds. The photoelectron spectra were understood and qualitatively assigned by comparing with that of Fe2(CO)6S2, which has been well studied previously and exhibits similar valence spectral features as I-V. A “normal level scheme” is suggested for the electronic structure of these low spin di-iron compounds, in which all occupied 3d levels lie above all occupied ligand levels. We also observed subtle differences in the electronic structures of the five di-iron complexes due to the slightly different ligand environments.

I: The Perspective on Local Structure from EXAFS and XANES. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/06/12/ VL - 107 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 4688 EP - 4696 SN - 10895639 AB - X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy was used to probe the effects of concentration on the first-shell structure of Ca2+ in aqueous solution. Measurements were carried out under ambient conditions using a bending magnet beamline (sector 20) at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne. The Ca K-edge EXAFS spectrum for 6 m CaCl2 yielded no evidence for the formation of significant numbers of Ca2+-Cl- contact ion pairs even at such high concentration, a result confirmed by comparison with the data for a dilute (0.2 m) reference solution of the perchlorate. A mean coordination number of 7.2 ± 1.2 water molecules and an average Ca-O distance of 2.437 ± 0.010 Å were determined for 6 m CaCl2, and these parameters are also consistent with earlier EXAFS measurements on dilute Ca2+ solutions. Comparison of the pre-edge and near-edge (XANES) spectrum against those for various references, including the crystalline hydrates, provided further confirmation of the lack of change in the Ca2+ first-shell structure and symmetry. Our measurements help clarify the earlier results of modeling thermodynamic data that imply that some significant structural change occurs at high salt concentration. Taken together, our results suggest the formation of Ca2+-OH2-Cl- solvent-shared ion pairs, rather than Ca2+-Cl- contact ion pairs, is most likely responsible for the unusual thermodynamic behavior of this system. The EXAFS spectrum for an even more concentrated (9.2 m CaCl2) hexahydrate melt, however, did indicate the presence of some contact ion pairs. The new results agree closely with those of an earlier X-ray diffraction study, and serve to further aid interpretation of the aqueous solutions data. On a technical note, a previously unreported multielectron excitation edge at k = 10.2 Å-1 was detected in the EXAFS spectra and assigned to the KLII,III transition. Inclusion of this new transition, along with the other known (KMII,III and KMI) transitions, in the background correction procedure significantly improved the quality of EXAFS fits. Further improvements resulted from the inclusion of Ca-H single scattering paths to treat the protons on the tightly bound water molecules. A Ca-H distance of 2.97 Å was obtained, which is in excellent agreement with the results of neutron scattering measurements (reported in part II). This appears to be the most convincing evidence to date for the detection of proton backscattering in EXAFS measurements of the local structure around ions in aqueous solution.

SN - 01682563 AB - We investigated the effect of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on hypolimnetic metabolism (accumulation of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and methane (CH4)) in 21 lakes across a gradient of DOC concentrations (308 to 1540 μmol C L-1). The highly colored nature of the DOC in these lakes suggests it is mostly of terrestrial origin. Hypolimnetic methane accumulation was positively correlated with epilimnetic DOC concentration (Spearman rank correlation = 0.67; p < 0.01), an indicator of allochthonous DOC inputs, but not with photic zone chlorophyll a concentration (Spearman rank correlation = 0.30; p = 0.22). Hypolimnetic DOC concentrations declined in 19 of 21 lakes during the stratified period at rates that ranged from 0.06 to 53.9 mmol m-2 d-1. The hypolimnetic accumulation of DIC + CH4 was positively correlated with, and, in most cases of comparable magnitude to, this DOC decline suggesting that DOC was an important substrate for hypolimnetic metabolism. The percentage of surface irradiance reaching the thermocline was lower in high DOC lakes (∼0.3%) than in low DOC lakes (∼6%), reducing hypolimnetic photosynthesis (as measured by the depth and magnitude of the deep dissolved oxygen maxima) in the high DOC lakes. In June, the hypolimnia of lakes with < 400 μmol L-1 DOC had high concentrations of dissolved oxygen and no CH4, while the hypolimnia of lakes with DOC > 800 μmol L-1 were completely anoxic and often had high CH4 concentrations. Thus, DOC affects hypolimnetic metabolism via multiple pathways: DOC was significant in supporting hypolimnetic metabolism; and at high concentrations depressed photosynthesis (and therefore oxygen production and DIC consumption) in the hypolimnion.

The first model is based on the kinetic theory of granular flow with a measured restitution coefficient in a slurry bubble column. The model was used to predict Air Products/DOE La Porte reactor’s slurry height, gas hold-up and the rate of methanol production. It showed an unfavorable high solids concentration at the bottom of the reactor. The second model with a catalyst viscosity as an input has computed the measured flow patterns and Reynolds stresses in agreement with measurements in a laboratory slurry bubble column.Here, we have rearranged the heat exchangers in the La Porte unit and constructed a CFD model for a baffled reactor that has a higher concentration of the catalyst in the upper portion of the reactor. In this arrangement, the conversion to products is higher than in the La Porte unit, because there is more catalyst in the region of decreased reactant concentration. The baffled arrangement of the heat exchangers prevents the mixing of the catalyst from the upper stage, allowing continued operation of the reactor with a high concentration in the upper stage. Thus, an optimum catalyst concentration is maintained during the course of the production of the liquid fuels.

Coffee diminished the bacterial mutagenicity of PhIP in the Ames reversion assay through inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), a key enzyme involved in the metabolic activation of PhIP. When given as part of the diet (0, 1 or 5% w/w) to male Fischer-344 rats for 2 weeks, coffee affected the expression of hepatic enzymes involved in PhIP metabolism. Coffee increased the expression of CYP1A2 by 16-fold in the 5% coffee-treated group, and approximately half of this inductive effect was attributed to caffeine. Coffee also increased the expression of enzymes involved in the detoxication of PhIP. A 2-fold increase in expression of glutathione S-transferase alpha was observed, UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGTs) activities of p-nitrophenol increased 2-fold, while N2-and N3-glucuronidation of the genotoxic metabolite 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (HONH-PhIP) increased by 1.3-fold in the 5% coffee-treated over the control group. The amount of PhIP (0.75 mg/kg, 24 h) eliminated in urine as the N2-and N3-glucuronide conjugates of HONH-PhIP increased by 1.8- and 2.5-fold, respectively, in the 5% coffee-treated group over control rats, suggesting either increased rates of N-oxidation of PhIP or N-glucuronidation of HONH-PhIP. Despite the strong induction of CYP1A2, there was no increase in PhIP-DNA adduct formation in colon and pancreas while liver adducts decreased by 50% over control animals. These data suggest that the effect of coffee on inhibition of PhIP N-oxidation and ensuing DNA damage is more important in vivo than its effect on induction of PhIP N-hydroxylation.

These standards have been the subject of in-depth analyses conducted as part of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) standards rulemaking process. This study drew on those analyses, but updated key data and developed a common framework and assumptions for all of the products. We estimate that the considered standards will reduce residential primary energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 8–9% in 2020 compared to the levels expected without any standards. The standards will save a cumulative total of 26–32 EJ (25–30 quads) by the year 2015, and 63 EJ (60 quads) by 2030. The estimated cumulative net present value of consumer benefit amounts to nearly US$80 billion by 2015, and grows to US$130 billion by 2030. The overall benefit/cost ratio of cumulative consumer impacts in the 1987–2050 period is 2.75:1. The cumulative cost of the DOE’s program to establish and implement the standards is in the range of US$200–US$250 million.

Furthermore, most estimates assume that data centers are filled to capacity. For the most part, these numbers are unsubstantiated. Although there are many estimates of the amount of electricity consumed by data centers, until this study, there were no publicly available measurements of power use. This paper examines some of the reasons why power requirements at data centers are overstated and adds actual measurements and the analysis of real-world data to the public policy debate over how much energy these facilities use.

The study area for this project was Boston, Massachusetts, which is a representative of large northern urban areas in the US. Data were collected for three groups of households that received both weatherization and LIHEAP assistance and for one control group that only received LIHEAP assistance. The clearest impact of weatherization assistance on changes in LIHEAP assistance is shown in decreases in eligibility for high-energy benefits post-weatherization. A further statistical test also suggests that weatherization has a significant impact in reducing the overall needs for LIHEAP subsidies. However, it cannot be concluded that weatherization reduced the need for standard LIHEAP subsidies. Households in the sample that did drop out of the LIHEAP program had relatively higher incomes, younger household heads, and fewer years in home than those who stayed in the program. These demographics suggest that the households that dropped out of the program were more likely to experience income increases to make them ineligible for the program and were more likely to move out of the study area. Additionally, for no group for no time period did LIHEAP benefits cover all primary heating fuel bills. Thus, the overall conclusions of this study are that weatherization decreased the need for high-energy benefits but did not lead to low-income households relinquishing the need for standard LIHEAP benefits.

The molecules were pumped into the first excited state by one photonic transition and consecutively ionized from there by the second photon. We resolved the wavepacket oscillatory motion involving periodical structural rearrangements in the first excited state of Na2F with a period of ∼ 185 fs. The time-resolved experiments show that sodium fluoride clusters provide interesting features which can be manipulated in optimal control experiments.

The solid, a synthetic 57Fe-enriched Fe(III)-bearing pyroaurite-like phase having terephthalate (TA) in the interlayer [Mg3Fe(OH)8(TA)0.5 · 2H2O], was reduced by Na2S2O4 and then reoxidized by K2Cr2O7 by means of a novel flow-through cell. Synchrotron Mo¨ssbauer spectra were collected in the time domain at 30-s intervals. Integration of the intensity obtained during a selected time interval in the spectra allowed sensitive determination of Fe(II) content as a function of reaction time. Analysis of reaction end member specimens by both the synchrotron technique and conventional Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy yielded comparable values for Mo¨ssbauer parameters such as center shift and Fe(II)/Fe(III) area ratios. Slight differences in quadrupole splitting values were observed, however. A reactive diffusion model was developed that fit the experimental Fe(II) kinetic data well and allowed the extraction of second-order rate constants for each reaction. Thus, in addition to rapidly collecting high quality Mo¨ssbauer data, the synchrotron technique seems well suited for aqueous rate experiments as a result of the penetrating power of 14.4 keV X-rays and high sensitivity to Fe valence state.

A thin-film model describing transport of reactants across the boundary layer above the growth surface is developed. A dimensionless Damko¨hler number (Da) quantitatively determines whether the planar (blanket) deposition is in a transport-limited, reaction-rate-limited, or intermediate operating regime. Reactant profiles within the rotating-disk reactor and growth rates predicted by the thin-film model agree very well with numerically exact calculations. The efficiency of the SAG was found to be a strong function of both the Da and the pattern fill-factor (θ). The thin-film model was extended to take into account the lowering of the “effective rate constant” (averaged over both the exposed and masked zones). It was found that the product θDa governs the transition between transport and kinetic control of the SAG process. Predictions of the analytical SAG thin-film model were compared to both the numerically exact 2-D calculations and to experimental results from InGaAs, InP, and GaN SAG. The simple theory appears to provide an excellent qualitative and quantitative description of kinetic and transport effects in SAG.

SN - 00222461 AB - High-resolution and analytical transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetic and magnetoresistance measurements were used to investigate nanostructures of melt-spun Au86Co14 and Au78Co22 alloys. The microstructure of the Au86Co14 alloy was composed of very small Co precipitates inside the Au grains with some larger Co precipitates (20–35 nm) dispersed at the grain boundaries, while the microstructure of the Au78Co22 alloy consisted of Au/Co lamellar eutectic grains with Co precipitates (50–70 nm) dispersed at the grain boundaries. A few grains had very small (4 nm) Co precipitates. Annealing at 773 K for 10 min caused Co depletion in the Au matrix from 5.4–10 at.% to 0.9–2.0 at.%. Annealing also caused transitions from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic and from single to multiple domain magnetic structure of some of the small and some of the larger Co precipitates, respectively. The MR ratios (Δρ/ρ, in magnetic field of 14.5 kOe) of the as-cast Au86Co14 and Au78Co22 alloys were 2.5% and 2.6%, respectively. Annealing of the alloys at 673 K for 1 hr reduced Δρ/ρ to 0.9–1%.

Glass displaying this set of properties is termed engineered stress profile (ESP) glass. Treatments at 400–450 °C in molten KNO3 and NaNO3 salt baths were used to create residual stresses in the surface of soda lime silicate float glass. Stress profiles were measured using optical stress birefringence, allowing derivation of apparent fracture toughness curves and prediction of crack stability over a range of flaw sizes. Specimens were tested in the four-point bend configuration to determine fracture strength and to study the multiple cracking which results from crack growth stabilization. The results were compared to predictions from the fracture toughness curves, in terms of the strength dispersion and crack stability criteria. Indented specimens were tested to determine the response of the glass to contact damage.

CdS QDs are found to exhibit a resonant Stokes shift of ~20−70 meV, which is ~4 times larger than similarly sized CdSe QDs. This effect can be reproduced by an effective-mass theoretical calculation, which reveals that the hole ground state (or highest occupied molecular orbital, HOMO) in CdS QDs is a P state and the ground-state exciton is an optically passive state. Compared to CdSe, in CdS, the smaller spin−orbit splitting causes the orbital-symmetry-forbidden dark exciton in a QD and its larger resonant Stokes shift. The band-edge photoluminescence in CdS QDs exhibits a lifetime of ~200 ns at 10 K, which is consistent with the dark exciton mechanism.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/06/15/ VL - 107 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 5922 EP - 5925 SN - 15206106 AB - When β-nitrous oxide (Cmca N2O) is laser heated to between 2000 and 3400 K at high pressures (10−55 GPa), it disproportionates into an ionic form of dimeric nitrogen dioxide (NO+NO3-) and nitrogen. Raman spectra of the quenched products suggest that the ionic phase is stable to 55 GPa at ambient temperature but, upon subsequent heating at pressures below 30 GPa, further dissociates into nitrogen, oxygen, and other nitrogen−oxygen compounds. X-ray diffraction patterns of the ionic phase indicate that it has an orthorhombic structure (Z = 4, &rgr;o = 2.69 g/cm3), similar to the aragonite phase of calcium carbonate. The results suggest that the primary driver for ionization is densification at high pressures, whereas dissociation between 10 and 30 GPa results from the combined effects of densification and entropy increases.

We present two results based on 1992–1996 data which were recently published: the subjet multiplicity in quark and gluon jets and the central inclusive jet cross section. The measured ratio between subjet multiplicities in gluon and quark jets is consistent with theoretical predictions and previous experimental values. NLO pQCD predictions of the κt] inclusive jet cross section agree with the DØ measurement, although marginally in the low PT range. We also present a preliminary measurement of thrust cross sections, which indicates the need to include higher than αs3 terms and resumation in the theoretical calculations.

As an example, we consider 1D map models whose slope is everywhere 1 (therefore the Lyapunov exponent is zero) but with random quenched discontinuities and quasi-periodic forcing. The models are constructed as non-chaotic approximations of chaotic maps showing deterministic diffusion, and represent one-dimensional versions of a Lorentz gas with polygonal obstacles (e.g., the Ehrenfest wind-tree model). In particular, a simple construction shows that these maps define non-chaotic billiards in space–time. The models exhibit, in a wide range of the parameters, the same diffusive behavior of the corresponding chaotic versions. We present evidence of two sufficient ingredients for diffusive behavior in one-dimensional, non-chaotic systems: (i) a finite size, algebraic instability mechanism; (ii) a mechanism that suppresses periodic orbits.

In the first step, nanometer-sized polymer particles are generated by a process of homogeneous nucleation during the rapid expansion of supercritical fluid solutions. These gas-phase particles are then charged as they are being formed by application of a high voltage to the expansion nozzle. In this way the charged nanoparticles can be collected on a solid surface forming uniform coatings with thicknesses from tens of nanometers to several micrometers thick. Supercritical carbon dioxide solutions of three different fluoropolymers were used to generate different types of coatings. This represents a ‘green’ process for film deposition. A further unique aspect of this process is that the small charged nanoparticles can be deposited to electrically conducting microscopic regions with a spatial resolution better than 50 nm.

We find that: (i) Oxygen molecules chemisorb on Aun clusters, with typical binding energies of 0.5–1.5 eV; the binding energy is larger for negatively charged clusters. (ii) In the most stable configurations, the two oxygen atoms are spatially separated and form a linear O–Au–O bridge. The results establish a correlation between the experimental reactivity of gold clusters and the oxygen binding energy.

No overall sequence similarity is detected between AlkB and these desaturase-like enzymes by computer algorithms; however, they do contain a series of histidine residues in a similar relative positioning with respect to hydrophobic regions thought to be transmembrane domains. To test whether these conserved histidine residues are functionally equivalent to those of the desaturase-like enzymes we used scanning alanine mutagenesis to test if they are essential for activity of AlkB. These experiments show that alanine substitution of any of the eight conserved histidines results in complete inactivation, whereas replacement of three non-conserved histidines in close proximity to the conserved residues, results in only partial inactivation. These data provide the first experimental support for the hypotheses: (i) that the histidine motif in AlkB is equivalent to that in the desaturase-like enzymes and (ii) that the conserved histidine residues play a vital role such as coordinating the Fe ions comprising the diiron active site.

The cross section of the propargyl radical is measured relative to that of HCl using the Cl + propyne reaction, yielding a peak absorption cross section (assuming Doppler-limited line shapes) of (1.9 ± 0.4) × 10-18 cm2 for the P(12) line of the ν1 fundamental at 296 K. The rate coefficient for the propargyl radical (CH2CCH) self-reaction is determined by modeling the infrared absorption of the propargyl radical formed in the 193 nm photolysis of propargyl chloride (HCCCH2Cl) and propargyl bromide (HCCCH2Br), using a more precise literature determination of the pressure-broadened absorption cross section. The propargyl self-reaction rate coefficient so obtained, (3.9 ± 0.6) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, is consistent with several recent measurements but disagrees significantly with the one previous infrared absorption determination. Both the propargyl radical and acetylene (HCCH) are observed in the 193 nm photolysis of propyne (CH3CCH). The propargyl is formed promptly following the UV photolysis pulse, and the magnitude of the signal is unaffected by the addition of O2. The observed propargyl signal is consistent with direct CH2CCH formation in the 193 nm photolysis of propyne and appears inconsistent with formation by secondary reactions of the 1-propynyl radical (CH3CC). The observed CH2CCH yield per 193 nm photon absorbed is 0.49 ± 0.10.

The accuracy is hardly affected by the sizes of PAH ions (azulene through dinaphthocoronene), the types of transitions (Koopmans or satellite transitions), the types of orbitals involved (π* ← π, π* ← σ, or σ* ← π transitions), the types of ions (cations or anions), or other geometrical or electronic perturbations (nonplanarity, sp3 carbons, or heterocyclic or nonbenzenoid rings).

Subsequently, some of these OMCs were heat-treated at temperatures of up to 1600 °C. The OMC pore structure was studied by low-pressure nitrogen adsorption. Information on the graphitic order of the surface of the mesopore walls was also obtained from the nitrogen adsorption data. These results were correlated to the order of the graphene layers at the outer surface, which was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).The OMCs were predominantly mesoporous, but they also contained micropores. For OMCs produced in an SBA-15 matrix, the micropore volume decreased upon heating. After heating to 1600 °C, nearly all micropores had disappeared. Furthermore, upon heating the width of the mesopores increased from 35 to 50 A˚. All these changes can be explained by a shrinking of the OMC framework upon heating. A different behavior was found for OMCs derived from MCM-48. Upon heating these materials at increasingly high temperatures, the width of the mesopores first decreased, and for temperatures above 1100 °C it increased again. For all OMCs studied the graphitic order of the mesopores and the order of the graphene layers at the outer surface increased upon heating. For a given temperature, the graphitic surface order of OMCs derived from SBA-15 and MCM-48 was similar.

The SNO data indicate that with the assumption of undistorted [SUP8]B shape, the flux for ν[SUBe] is φ[SUBe] = 1.76[SUP+0.05,SUB-0.05] (stat.)[SUP+0.09,SUB-0.09] (syst.) × 10[SUP6] cm[SUP-2]s[SUP-1] for a kinetic energy threshold of 5 MeV. The non-ν[SUBe] Flux is φ[SUBμτ] = 3.41[SUP+0.45,SUB-0.45 (stat.)[SUP+0.48,SUB-0.45](syst.) × 10[SUP6] cm[SUP-2]s[SUP-1]. This provides strong evidence for solar ν[SUBe] flavor transformation. The day and night solar neutrino energy spectra and rates have also been measured. For CC events, the ν[SUBe] asymmetry is 14.0% ± 6.3%[SUP+1.5.SUB-1.4]%. By additionally constraining the total (NC) flux of active neutrinos to have no asymmetry, the ν[SUBe] asymmetry becomes 7.0% ± 4.9%[SUP+1.3,SUB-1.2]%. A global solar neutrino analysis strongly favors the Large Mixing Angle (LMA) solution in a two-flavor neutrino oscillation model.

In this quantization method, the symmetry algebras of the hamiltonian invariants are preserved most naturally, as illustrated on nonlinear σ-models, specifically for Chiral Models and de Sitter N-spheres. Classically, the dynamics of superintegrable models such as these is automatically also described by Nambu Brackets involving the extra symmetry invariants of them. The phase-space quantization worked out then leads to the quantization of the corresponding Nambu Brackets, validating Nambu's original proposal, despite excessive fears of inconsistency which have arisen over the years. This is a pedagogical talk based on [1, 2], stressing points of interpretation and care needed in appreciating the consistency of Quantum Nambu Brackets in phase space.

Surface diffusion barriers’ dependence on perpendicular electric fields can be used to discriminate between diffusion mechanisms. Since the previously accepted mechanism for ad-dimer diffusion on Si(0 0 1) has the opposite field dependence to what is observed, it cannot be the one that dominates mass-transport. We identify an alternate process, with a similar barrier at zero electric field and field dependence in agreement with measurements. For rotation, calculations to date show linear field dependence, in contrast to experiments.

We describe here the physical configuration of these counters, their implementation and performance within the Fermilab Accelerator Control Network (ACNET). We show correlations between these new devices and the accelerator operating conditions. We point out that the use of these monitors is leading to improvement in the accelerator operations and reduced backgrounds in CDF.

It is known to provide high neutron fluences below 100 keV. In this work, the possibility of applying this method to the measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of shortlived actinides and in particular of the 77 eV isomer of 235U is investigated. Numerical simulations and a test-experiment using a photovaltaic cell fission detector demonstrate the feasibility of such a measurement at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center using 800 MeV proton-induced spallation to provide source neutrons.

T1 - Structure and Thermal Expansivity of Tetrahydrofuran Deuterate Determined by Neutron Powder Diffraction. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/06/22/ VL - 107 IS - 25 M3 - Article SP - 6026 EP - 6031 SN - 15206106 AB - The crystal structure of tetrahydrofuran deuterate, a clathrate hydrate, has been refined from neutron powder diffraction data at five temperatures in the range 7−265 K. The thermal expansivity was shown to be greater than that of ice Ih in the same range of temperature (T), as observed in previous studies of other clathrates. The overall effect of T has been resolved into contributions from different geometrical parameters in the structure. Thus, an increase in T results in expansion of the host-lattice framework with increases in both the D−D and O−O distances and out-of-plane tilting of water molecules. The greatest dependence on T is exhibited by the D−D distances and the distortion of the hexagonal faces from planarity, which is particularly pronounced in the range 75−140 K. The cage volumes show a complex dependence on T:  from 7 to 140 K, the volume of the small cage decreases slightly and that of the large cage increases, and between 140 and 205 K, the trend is reversed. The most pronounced structural changes occur in a similar regime of T as changes in guest dynamics observed in spectroscopic and thermodynamic studies. The temperature dependences of the structure and &agr;(T), when considered along with the relation of &agr;(T) to the degree of anharmonicity in bonding,34 could be formulated to provide a sensitive test of molecular models of clathrate hydrates.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/06/22/ VL - 107 IS - 25 M3 - Article SP - 6046 EP - 6050 SN - 15206106 AB - Trimethylene oxide (TMO) forms structure I or II hydrates depending on stoichiometry and affords the opportunity to compare and contrast the temperature dependence of the crystal structure parameters for the two major hydrate structure types occluding a common guest molecule. Structures I and II TMO deuterates were synthesized from D2O and hydrogenated TMO at the ratio of 6.25:1 D2O:TMO (mole) for structure I and 17:1 D2O:TMO for structure II. The samples were studied with powder neutron diffraction using the high-resolution powder diffractometer at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, research reactor JRR-3M. The guest−host interactions of TMO in the 51262 and 51264 cavities were modeled using rigid-body constraints. Data were collected at 10 (12 K for structure I), 40, 70, 100, 130, 160, 190, 220, and 250 K for both structure types. The volumes of the 512 and 51262 or 51264 cages of both structure types were computed at each temperature. Cage volume calculations, rigid-body orientations, and rigid-body mean-squared displacement parameters revealed perturbations in the host lattice due to guest molecule motion/orientation for the structure I deuterate but not for the structure II deuterate. The guest molecule motion approximates that in the gas phase with some restrictions imposed by the deuterate cage. Below 105 K, the guest molecule tends to orient the ether oxygen toward the hexagonal face of the structure I 51262 cage. Above 105 K the ether oxygen moves away from the hexagonal face of the 51262 cage to an angle of about 50°, corresponding to an increase in volume for the 51262 cage and a decrease in volume for the 512 cage. The most rapid changes with respect to temperature occur between 160 and 190 K. Similar behavior was not noted for the structure II deuterate.

Real-time Raman spectroscopy has been used for detection and characterization of the separation process. Radial-breathing-mode vibrational frequencies are sensitive to nanotube diameter. Monitoring of these modes demonstrates the separation of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-stabilized tubes into fractions of differing bundle composition. Separations on SDS suspensions indicate that CE is capable of separating bundled nanotubes from isolated individuals on the basis of differences in nanotube mobility, depending on changes in diameter or bundle size.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/06/22/ VL - 107 IS - 25 M3 - Article SP - 6114 EP - 6118 SN - 15206106 AB - Surfactant templated silica mesophases belong to the class of self-assembled materials that exhibit long range ordered two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal, three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal, or 3D cubic mesostructures when the composition of the initial deposited solution and its aging time have been optimized. Thin films of such mesophases with a thickness typically less than 300 nm are now routinely obtained by dip coating. In this study a reference solution was used with a chemical composition leading to the formation of thin films with a 3D hexagonal (P63/mmc) mesostructure by dip coating. Thick films (about 10 μm thick) were alternatively prepared by a evaporation-controlled self-assembly (ECSA) process and studied with grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). In the ECSA process, the mesostructure was developed under slower evaporation conditions than for dip-coated films by finely tuning the ethanol/H2O evaporation rate of the reference solution horizontally deposited on a silicon wafer. It is shown that the evaporation rate of the solvent is one of the key parameters that control the final mesostructure and can, under certain conditions, promote the formation of the cubic mesophase. The ability to precisely control such a structural arrangement on the mesoscale is of major interest for making sensor arrays, nanoreactors, photonic and fluidic devices, and low dielectric constant films.

We have demonstrated that the cysteine specific nitroxide spin label MTSL can be covalently bound to a surface cysteine residue of Rhodobacter sphaeroides RC protein. We suggest that the MTSL nitroxide is bound to an accessible cysteine residue, H156, which is located on the surface of the protein on the H-subunit. Analysis of the multifrequency EPR spectra of the spin-labeled RC proteins suggests the restricted character of the protein dynamics. These dynamics can be described as fast libration in a cone with a correlation time faster than 10-9 s. Several dynamically nonequivalent sites were observed in the EPR spectra, which may reflect distinct conformational substates of local protein structure. This work provides a foundation for future studies with the goal of correlating protein motions with photosynthetic charge-transfer reactions.

The in-situ composites were prepared by casting, followed by deformation, packing and deformation. The composites were formed by self-assembling and show strong textures and orientation relationship between Cu and Nb. The artificial composites were made by cladding Nb with Cu, packing and deformation, and they developed less pronounced texture than in-situ composites. In spite of the differences in the original orientation relationship and microstructure, the final products of both composite show the {1 1 1}Cu//{1 1 0}Nb orientation relationship and fiber textures. Moreover, both types of composites are composed of Nb ribbons or plates embedded in the copper matrix. A variation in the spacing between the Nb ribbons is observed, particularly in the in-situ composites. In Cu regions, very fine twins have been revealed. Various strain contrasts were observed in the interface regions and the lattice distortion occurred in both components. The high strength of the microcomposite is attributed to large interface areas in the unit volume, lattice distortions and the nanostructures. Those strength contributors are related to each other.

For the molecular colliders, N2 and CH4, very different scattering behavior was observed, especially for high ΔjHCl transitions. When HCl is scattered into jHCl = 2 or 3, the collision results in more forward-scattering than is observed for rare gas colliders, whereas when HCl is scattered into jHCl = 4 or 5, the collision results in more backscattering. This implies that to generate HCl in a highly rotationally excited quantum state following collision with a diatomic or polyatomic collider, the collision must have a smaller impact parameter than would be required for an atomic collision.

The electronic structure methods employed include the coupled-cluster singles and doubles method with a perturbative correction for connected triple substitutions [CCSD(T)] and the Brueckner doubles method with analogous corrections for triple and quadruple substitutions [BD(TQ)]. Correlation-consistent triple- and quadruple-ζ basis sets were employed in conjunction with a large-core pseudopotential and a core polarization potential for Sn, and a basis set incompleteness correction was computed from extrapolations to the infinite basis set limit. Values of 9 ± 4, 10 ± 4, 34 ± 4, and −20 ± 4 kcal mol-1 are proposed for [inline equation] for SnO, SnO2, H2SnO, and H3SnOH, respectively. Polynomial fits were carried out for the heat capacity and the standard enthalpy and entropy over the 300−3100 K temperature range.

This special, usually non-equilibrium structure leads to unique properties and a multitude of changes for different thermal and mechanical histories. Analyses that enable the study of these properties are temperature-modulated calorimetry and related techniques which allow the separation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium responses. Research on these topics is reviewed and combined to a model for the nanophases. The new approach to the complex nanophase systems yields a better understanding of the relationship between structure and thermodynamic properties. Special emphasis is placed on the size and surface effects on the glass and melting transitions, the development of rigid-amorphous phases, and the reversible melting within the globally metastable structure.

T1 - On the stress dependence of partial dislocation separation and deformation microstructure in austenitic stainless steels JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2003/06/27/ VL - 51 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 3063 SN - 13596454 AB - In the austenitic stainless steels the separation of Shockley partial dislocations is known to play an important role in the plastic deformation and produces a variety of deformation microstructures depending on test and material conditions. Theoretical calculations have been carried out in an attempt to explain the origin of the deformation microstructures which include large stacking faults and twins. Force balance equations for the leading and trailing partials are established by considering the Peach–Koehler force from an applied stress field, repulsive force between leading and trailing partial dislocations, attractive force due to the stacking fault energy, and resistance (or damping) force to the glide of the partial dislocations. For a simple dislocation and stress arrangement, an expression for separation distance was derived from the force balance equations. The results indicate that the separation distance varies with the directional relationship between the applied stress and the Burgers vectors of glide dislocations. Also, the separation distance increases with the applied stress and can diverge when the applied stress exceeds a critical stress. The critical stress is readily achievable in the uniform strain range by strengthening measures like irradiation, lowering test temperature, and increasing strain or strain rate. Further, using a stress-based analysis, some predictions were attempted for the influence of radiation-induced defects on deformation microstructure in austenitic stainless steels.

Initial spreading velocities as fast as ~0.5 m/s have been recorded. The results are consistent with a liquid front moving on a metastable, flat, unreacted substrate and can be described by using a modified molecular-kinetic model for which the rate controlling step is the movement of one atom from the liquid to the surface of the solid substrate. Although the phase diagram predicts the formation of two Fe-Sn intermetallics at the solder/substrate interface in samples heated at temperatures lower than 513 °C, after spreading at 250 °C only a thin FeSn2 reaction layer could be observed. Two interfacial layers (FeSn and FeSn2) were found after spreading at 450 °C.

Climate change scenarios and impacts on irrigation water supply simulated with the HUMUS model JO - Agricultural & Forest Meteorology JF - Agricultural & Forest Meteorology Y1 - 2003/06/30/ VL - 117 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 73 SN - 01681923 AB - In response to a congressional mandate, the US Global Change Research Program organized a National Assessment of Climate Change focusing on geographic regions (e.g. Alaska, Great Plains) and sectors (e.g. public health, agriculture, water resources). This paper describes methodology and results of a study by researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory contributing to the water sector analysis. The subsequent paper makes use of the water supply results to estimate the climate change impacts on irrigated agriculture. The vulnerability of water resources in the conterminous US to climate changes in 10-year periods centered on 2030 and 2095 as projected by the Hadley/United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) general circulation model (GCM; HadCM2) were modeled using the Hydrologic Unit Model for the United States (HUMUS). HUMUS, a biophysically based hydrology model, consists of a Geographical Information System (GIS) that provides data on soils, land use and climate to drive the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The modeling was done at the scale of the eight-digit United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit Area (HUA) of which there are 2101 in the conterminous US. Results are aggregated to the four- and two-digit (major water resource region, MWRR) scales for various purposes. Daily records of maximum/minimum temperature and precipitation (PPT) from 1961 to 1990 provided the baseline climate. Water yields (WY), used as a measure of water supply for irrigation, increases from the 1961–1990 baseline period over most of the US in 2030 and 2095. In 2030, WY increases in the western US and decreases in the central and southeast regions. Notably, WY increases by 139 mm (35%) from baseline in the Pacific Northwest. Driven by higher temperatures and reduced precipitation, WY is projected to decrease in the Lower Mississippi and Texas Gulf basins. The HadCM2 (2095) scenario projects a climate significantly wetter than baseline, resulting in water yield increases of 38% on average. Water yield increases are projected to be significant throughout the eastern US—39% in the Ohio basin, for example. Water yields increase significantly in the western US, as well—57 and 76% in the Upper and Lower Colorado, respectively. Climate change also affects the seasonality of the hydrologic cycle. Early snowmelt is induced in western basins, leading to dramatically increased water yields in late winter and early spring. The simulations were run at current (365 ppm) and elevated (560 ppm) atmospheric CO2 concentrations [CO2] to account for the potential impacts of the ‘CO2-fertilization’ effect. The effects of climate change scenario were considerably greater than those due to elevated [CO2] but the latter, overall, decreased losses and augmented increases in water yield.

As part of this process, we used scenarios of the HadCM2 GCM and the EPIC agroecosystem model to evaluate climate-change impacts on crop yields and ecosystem processes. Baseline climate data were obtained from national records for 1961–1990. The scenario runs for 2025–2034 and 2090–2099 were extracted from a HadCM2 run. EPIC was run on 204 representative farms under current climate and two 10-year periods centered on 2030 and 2095, each at CO2 concentrations of 365 and 560 ppm. Crops were simulated under both dryland and irrigated management, with irrigation water supply estimates taken from the HUMUS simulations in Paper 1. Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and California are projected to experience significant temperature increases by 2030. Slight cooling is expected by 2030 in Alabama, Florida, Maine, Montana, Idaho, and Utah. Larger areas are projected to experience increased warming by 2095. Uniform precipitation increases are expected by 2030 in the northeast. These increases are predicted to expand to the eastern half of the country by 2095. Regionally, dryland corn yields could increase, decrease or remain unchanged under the two scenarios. EPIC simulated yield increases for the Great Lakes, Corn Belt and Northeast regions. Simulated yields of irrigated corn were predicted to increase in almost all regions. Soybean yields could decrease in the Northern and Southern Plains, the Corn Belt, Delta, Appalachian, and Southeast regions and increase in the Lakes and Northeast regions. Simulated wheat yields exhibited upward trends under scenarios of climate-change. Evapotranspiration in dryland corn is expected to increase in both future periods while water-use efficiency will decrease. National corn production in 2030 and 2095 could be affected by changes in three major producing regions. In 2030, corn production could increase in the Corn Belt and Lakes regions but decrease in the Northern Plains leading to an overall decrease in national production. National wheat production is expected to increase during both future periods. A proxy indicator was developed to provide a sense of where in the country, and when water would be available to satisfy change in irrigation demand for corn and alfalfa production as these are influenced by the HadCM2 scenarios and CO2-fertilization. Irrigation requirement by irrigated crops declines under these scenarios as transpiration is suppressed.

Based on radioactive decay along a water flow path the 81Kr/Kr ratios are directly converted to groundwater residence times. Results are in a range of 225–400 kyr with error bars in the order of 15% primarily due to counting statistics in the cyclotron accelerator mass spectrometer measurement. Additional uncertainties from subsurface production and/or exchange with stagnant porewaters in the confining shales appear to be of the same order of magnitude. These 81Kr ages are then used to calibrate the 36Cl and the 4He dating methods. Based on elemental analyses of rock samples from the sandstone aquifer as well as from the confining Bulldog shale the in situ flux of thermal neutrons and the corresponding 3He/4He and 36Cl/Cl ratios are calculated. From a comparison of: (i) the 3He/4He ratios measured in the groundwater samples with the calculated in situ ratios in rocks and (ii) the measured δ37Cl ratios with the 4He concentrations measured in groundwater it is concluded that both helium and chloride are most likely added to the aquifer from sources in the stagnant porewaters of the confining shale by diffusion and/or mixing. Based on this ‘working hypothesis’ the 36Cl transport equation in groundwater is solved taking into account: (i) radioactive decay, (ii) subsurface production in the sandstone aquifer (with an in situ 36Cl/Cl ratio of 6×10−15) and (iii) addition of chloride from a source in the confining shale (with a 36Cl/Cl ratio of 13×10−15). Lacking better information it is assumed that the chloride concentration increased linearly with time from an (unknown) initial value Ci to its measured present value C=Ci+Ca, where Ca represents the (unknown) amount of chloride added from subsurface sources. Using the 81Kr ages of the four groundwater samples and a reasonable initial 36Cl/Cl ratio of 125×10−15, which is consistent with other studies in this part of the GAB, it is then possible to determine (Ci,Ca) parameter sets for all four samples and consequently to simulate the Cl and the 36Cl evolution with time. Strong evidence that the whole procedure is adequate comes from: (i) a comparison of Ci with the calculated noble gas recharge temperatures (NGRT) indicating that a higher NGRT is related to higher input chloride concentrations Ci (because of higher evapotranspiration) and (ii) a comparison of Ca with the measured 4He concentration confirming the idea that both chloride and helium are added to the groundwater in parallel. It turns out that the four samples fall into two groups: (i) for two of the samples (Raspberry Creek and Oodnadatta) initial 36Cl concentrations are high and 36Cl dating based on radioactive decay is possible. The 4He accumulation rate for these two samples is low (0.2×10−10 cm3 STP 4He/(cm3 water yr)); (ii) for the other two samples (Duck Hole and Watson Creek) the initial 36Cl concentration is low and therefore subsurface processes dominate resulting in almost constant 36Cl concentrations with time; 36Cl groundwater dating is not possible. The 4He accumulation rate for these two samples is about 10 times higher (1.9×10−10 cm3 STP 4He/(cm3 water yr)). 129I concentrations are interpreted as a simple mixing between an atmospheric and a subsurface source.

Accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) is used to examine exothermic reactions. The thermal stability of the polymer electrolyte in the presence of charged electrodes is also monitored. Resulting data were compared with those of 1.0 M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate:ethyl methyl carbonate (3:7 by wt.) electrolyte. The self-heating exothermic reaction of mono comb-shaped siloxane polymer electrolyte starts at approximately 300 °C. Comparison of the heat generation profiles from ARC tests indicates that SPE reduces the intensity of exothermic reactions resulting from charged electrodes and electrolyte.

One has involved the commonly cited segmental motion while the other is related to energy barriers in the solvation shell of polymeric ether oxygens around the lithium ions. Calculations of the barriers to lithium ion migration have provided important indicators as to the best design of the polymer. The theoretical work has coincided with and guided some recent developments on polymer synthesis for lithium batteries. Structural change of the polymer solvation shell has been pursued by the introduction of trimethylene oxide (TMO) units into the polymer. The conductivity measurements on polymers containing TMO unit are encouraging. The architecture of the polymer networks has been varied upon which the solvating groups are attached and significant improvements in sub-ambient performance are observed as a result. However, the above-ambient temperature performance appears controlled by an Arrhenius process that is not completely consistent with the theoretical calculations described here and may indicate the operation of a different mechanism. The new polymers possess significantly lower Tg values in the presence of lithium salts, which indicates weaker binding of the lithium ions by the polymers. These properties provide considerable improvement in the transport properties close to the electrode surfaces resulting in decreased impedances at the surfaces both at lithium metal and in composite electrodes. The greater flexibility of the solvation groups combined with appropriate architecture not only has applications in lithium metal–polymer batteries but also in lithium ion liquid and gel systems as well as in fuel cell electrodes.

In this idea, a linear e[sup +]e[sup -] collider must be upgraded with high power lasers and an interaction region including optics to focus the laser pulses onto the electron beam. Recently, a strawman design for such an interaction region has been produced. Given the existence of the mothballed Stanford Linear Collider it becomes reasonable to propose a photon collider test bed, which would allow that design to be tested in actual operational conditions.

Hydrates were formed by bubbling methane gas through test solutions at temperatures and pressures within the hydrate stability field. Hydrate formation was visually detected by the accumulation of hydrate-encrusted gas bubbles. To measure hydrate dissociation conditions, the pressure vessel was warmed while temperature was monitored within a zone of previously formed hydrate-encrusted gas bubbles. Hydrate dissociation was indicated by a distinct plateau in the hydrate zone temperature, while temperatures of the gas and liquid phases within the vessel continued to rise. The ‘dissociation plateau’ appears to be a phenomenon that is unique to the large volume of the pressure vessel used for the experiments. In experiments where hydrates were formed in pure water, temperature and corresponding pressure conditions measured during the temperature plateau matched model-predicted values for hydrate stability in water, thus confirming the validity of this new method for measuring hydrate dissociation conditions. Formation and dissociation conditions were measured for methane hydrates in colloidal suspensions containing bentonite. Hydrate formation experiments indicated that the presence of bentonite in water at 200 mg/l significantly decreased pressures required for hydrate formation relative to formation in pure water alone. On the other hand, hydrate dissociation conditions measured in bentonite and silica suspensions with solids concentrations of 34 g/l did not differ significantly from that of water. These results are relevant to the origin and stability of natural gas hydrate deposits known to exist in deep permafrost and marine sediments, where the effects of sediment surfaces are largely unknown.

The resulting “Liouvillian” theory has a U(1&z.sfnc;1) global supersymmetry as well as a hierarchy of geometric conservation laws related to the noncommutative geometry of the lowest Landau level (LLL). Approximations to the Liouvillian theory contain quite different physics from standard approximations to the underlying fermionic theory. Mean-field and large-N generalizations of the Liouvillian are shown to describe problems of noninteracting bosons that enlarge the U(1&z.sfnc;1) supersymmetry to U(1&z.sfnc;1)×SO(N) or U(1&z.sfnc;1)×SU(N).These noninteracting bosonic problems are studied numerically for 2⩽N⩽8 by Monte Carlo simulation and compared to the original N=1 Liouvillian theory. The N>1 generalizations preserve the first two of the hierarchy of geometric conservation laws, leading to logarithmic corrections at order 1/N to the diffusive large-N limit, but do not preserve the remaining conservation laws. The emergence of nontrivial scaling at the plateau transition, in the Liouvillian approach, is shown to depend sensitively on the unusual geometry of Landau levels.

A number of 2.7×1010 atoms was electrodeposited on a Ta filament and covered with a 1 μm Ti layer. Fm atoms were evaporated from the filament at a temperature of approximately 1000 °C into an optical cell filled with a buffer gas and were subsequently photoionized in a two-photon 1+1′ process using a tunable excimer-pumped dye laser and the excimer (XeF) laser itself to produce the resonant (1) and non-resonant (1′) photon frequencies, respectively. The created photoions were identified by mass-selective detection. We observed resonant transitions of Fm at dye-laser energies of 25 099.8(2) and 25 111.8(2) cm−1. A possible classification of these levels is given on the basis of multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock calculations. We also interpreted the recorded time of ion drift through the buffer gas as a novel way to measure the mean ionic charge radius of the heavy elements.

A large number of narrow AI resonances have been observed and assigned total angular momentum J values. The resonances are further divided into members of AI Rydberg series converging to the second limit or other ‘interloping’ levels. Fine structure in the Rydberg series has been identified and interpreted in terms of Jcj coupling. A number of detailed studies have been performed on the interloping resonances: these include lifetime determination by line-shape analysis, isotope shifts, hyperfine structure, and photoionization saturation parameters. The electronic structure of the interloping levels is discussed in terms of these studies. Line-widths generally decrease with increasing total angular momentum and the J=7 resonances are extremely narrow with Lorentzian widths ranging from <1 MHz up to 157 MHz. The strongest resonances are found to have cross-sections of ∼10−12 cm2 and photoionization can be saturated with powers available from cw diode lasers.

In this study, we present the results of laboratory experiments measuring particle penetration through surrogates of cracks in building envelopes. Rectangular slots were prepared, with crack heights of 0.25 and 1 mm and flow-path lengths of 4-10 cm, using common building materials: aluminum, brick, concrete, plywood, redwood lumber, pine lumber, and strand board. Air was drawn through a slot from a well-mixed chamber by applying a pressure difference (ΔP) of 4 or 10 Pa. Nonvolatile, electrically neutralized particles were generated and introduced into the chamber. The particle penetration factor was determined, for particle sizes 0.02-7 µm, as the ratio of the particle concentration downstream of the slot to that in the chamber. Particle size and crack height were the two main factors that governed fractional particle penetration. Consistent with prior modeling results, the penetration factor was nearly unity for particles of diameter 0.1-1.0 µm at ≥0.25 mm crack height and ΔP of ≥4 Pa. Particle penetration diminished for larger and smaller particles and for cracks with significant surface roughness and irregular geometry.

Dimethylacridinone (DDAO)-phosphate substrate and alkaline phosphatase conjugate were selected for the enzymatic reaction, which was applicable to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Laser-induced fluorometry with a miniature semiconductor laser was used to detect the enzymatic products. The speed of the enzymatic reaction between the DDAO-phosphate and the alkaline phosphatase conjugate was investigated as a function of reaction time. The microchip-CAE detection system could determine the pH condition and the concentration of enzyme that are suitable for rapid and low-cost analysis. This result shows the feasibility of using the microchip-CAE system for application to miniaturized screening systems.

In the last decade advances in nanostructuring technology led to rapid progress of the diffractive x-ray optics quality, e.g., Fresnel zone plates which became the key elements for high resolution and energy resolving x-ray imaging techniques performed at synchrotron sources. X-ray microscopy is a powerful method which can investigate whole cells in their aqueous environment avoiding potential artifacts introduced by the dehydration or fixation necessary with other methods. X-ray microscopy can give 3-D structural information of whole cells. In addition, its potential as a non-destructive technique for physical failure analysis and as a new tool for investigations of electromigration mechanism in semiconductor industry was demonstrated.

The equivalency can be achieved only if we use a “complete” ansatz at the cost of introducing new parameters in the model. An approximate treatment of the exchange terms from standard RMF-PC indicates that these effects cannot be easily, if at all, absorbed by a Dirac–Hartree approximation.

Gauge coupling unification, the quantum numbers of quarks and leptons and the longevity of the proton arise as phenomena of the symmetrical bulk, while the lightness of the Higgs doublets and the masses of the light quarks and leptons probe the symmetry breaking defect. Moreover, the framework is extremely predictive if the effective higher dimensional theory is valid over a large energy interval up to the scale of strong coupling. Precise agreement with experiments is obtained in the simplest theory—SU(5) in five dimensions with two Higgs multiplets propagating in the bulk. The weak mixing angle is predicted to be sin2θw=0.2313±0.0004, which fits the data with extraordinary accuracy. The compactification scale and the strong coupling scale are determined to be Mc≃5×1014 GeV and Ms≃1×1017 GeV, respectively. Proton decay with a lifetime of order 1034 years is expected with a variety of final states such as e+π0, and several aspects of flavor, including large neutrino mixing angles, are understood by the geometrical locations of the matter fields. When combined with a particular supersymmetry breaking mechanism, the theory predicts large lepton flavor violating μ→e and τ→μ transitions, with all superpartner masses determined by only two free parameters. The predicted value of the bottom quark mass from Yukawa unification agrees well with the data.

Experiments were conducted in a flexible cell hydrothermal apparatus to determine the extent of fluid–rock reactions, in addition to carbonate mineral precipitation, that may occur in a brine aquifer–aquitard system that simulates a saline aquifer storage scenario. The system was held at 200 °C and 200 bars for 59 days (1413 h) to approach steady state, then injected with CO2 and allowed to react for another 80 days (1924 h). In addition to magnesite precipitation, silicate minerals (quartz, plagioclase, microcline and biotite) in the aquifer and the aquitard display textures (etch pits, mineralization) indicating significant reaction. Changes in elemental abundances in the brine following addition of CO2 include pH decrease and enrichment in Cl−, partly due to supercritical CO2 desiccation of the brine. Geologic sequestration systems have potential for geochemical reactions that extend beyond simple aqueous dissolution of CO2 and precipitation of carbonate. These reactions may produce geochemical and geotechnical consequences for sequestration and provide important characteristics for monitoring and evaluation of stored CO2. An understanding of multi-phase equilibrium relationships between supercritical CO2 and aquifer–brine systems also raises new questions for a variety of geologic systems. Multi-phase fluid equilibria may, for example, account for the large amounts and heterogeneous distributions of calcite cement in a wide variety of geologic systems, particularly in sedimentary basin sandstones.

The highest available fluxes are located in a flux trap region created inside the nested fuel elements. The experimentally determined thermal and the empirically obtained epithermal flux values along the vertical axis of the peripheral target position were fit to cosine curves, with the thermal flux ranging from 1.1×1015 ns−1 cm−2 at outer positions to 1.5×1015 ns−1 cm−2 at the center.

SN - 00904341 AB - Ethylene dibromide (1,2-dibromoethane or EDB) was primarily used in the United States as an additive in leaded gasoline and as a soil and grain fumigant for worm and insect control until it was banned in 1983. Historical releases of EDB have resulted in detectable EDB in groundwater and drinking wells, and recently concentrations up to 16 μg/L were detected in ground water at two fuel spill plumes in the vicinity of the Massachusetts Military Reservation Base on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Because the ground water in this area is used to flood cranberry bogs for the purposes of harvesting, the U.S. Air Force sponsored the development of aquatic screening benchmarks for EDB. Acute toxicity tests with Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow), Daphnia magna, and Ceriodaphnia dubia were conducted to provide data needed for development of screening benchmarks. Using a closed test-system to prevent volatilization of EDB, the 48-h LC50s (concentration that kills 50% of the test organisms) for P. promelas, D. magna, and C. dubia were 4.3 mg/L, 6.5 mg/L, and 3.6 mg/L, respectively. The screening benchmark for aquatic organisms, derived as the Tier II chronic water quality criteria, is 0.031 mg EDB/L. The sediment screening benchmark, based on equilibrium partitioning, is 2.45 mg EDB/kg of organic carbon in the sediment. The screening benchmarks developed here are an important component of an ecological risk assessment, during which perhaps hundreds of chemicals must be evaluated for their potential to cause ecological harm.

In contrast to plant cellulose, we found it catalyzed the deposition of metals within its structure to generate a finely divided homogeneous catalyst layer. Experimental data suggested that bacterial cellulose possessed reducing groups capable of initiating the precipitation of palladium, gold, and silver from aqueous solution. Since the bacterial cellulose contained water equivalent to at least 200 times the dry weight of the cellulose, it was dried to a thin membranous structure suitable for the construction of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). Results of our study with palladium-cellulose showed that it was capable of catalyzing the generation of hydrogen when incubated with sodium dithionite and generated an electrical current from hydrogen in an MEA containing native cellulose as the polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM). Advantages of using native and metallized bacterial cellulose membranes in an MEA over other PEMs such as Nafion 117® include its higher thermal stability to 130 °C and lower gas crossover.

However, present evidence that challenges this paradigm. They show that genomic aberrations in tumor cells disseminated in the bone marrows of patients with no clinical evidence of metastasis generally do not resemble the aberrations in the primary tumors from which they arose. They interpret this to mean that tumor cells disseminate very early and evolve to metastatic disease independent from the primary tumor. Their model suggests that adjuvant therapies should be targeted to lesions in the disseminated cells rather than lesions found in primary tumors.

JO - Cardiovascular Radiation Medicine JF - Cardiovascular Radiation Medicine Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 4 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 139 SN - 15221865 AB - : BackgroundParallel, thin (<100 μm) planes of synchrotron-generated X rays, have been shown to spare normal tissues and preferentially damage tumors in animal models. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of such microbeams directed unidirectionally on angioplasted rat carotid arteries.: Methods and materialsThree groups of Sprague–Dawley rats were studied: (a) rats with normal, untreated arteries, (b) rats treated by balloon angioplasty, but not irradiated, and (c) rats treated with balloon angioplasty and exposed to single fraction, unidirectional, parallel, microbeams an hour after angioplasty. The microbeam array, 15 mm wide×7.6 mm high, consisting of 27-μm-wide beam slices, spaced 200 μm center-to-center laterally traversed the damaged artery. The in-depth in-beam dose was 150 Gy, the “valley” dose (dose midway between microbeams resulting mainly from X-ray scattering) was 4.5 Gy on average, and the “integrated” (averaged) dose was 26 Gy.: ResultsMicrobeam irradiation, as given in the present study, was tolerated, but was insufficient to significantly suppress the neointimal hyperplasia.: DiscussionThe microbeam dose used is considered low. Dose escalation would be necessary to reach conclusive results regarding the X-ray microbeam efficacy to control restenosis.

Afterburning of superstoichiometric, reduced products drives heating beyond the nozzle. Trace metals can suppress radical cycling intensities and simultaneously act as the source of ionization. Particles inorganic and otherwise undergo fluid slip and thereby impact heat and momentum budgets. All radiation interactions of the plume are intimately coupled into this rich chemical environment. Several atomic and chemiluminescent spectra appear in the submicron range. A variety of particulate types glow as continuum blackbodies in the infrared. Subject to quantum mechanical restrictions, major and trace gases emit as well. Radio frequencies are attenuated by the weak plasma and may also be generated where charge separation and turbulence conjoin. Renewed interest in missile defense will motivate refinements in plume detection, particularly for the boost phase. We review current theory and modeling of exhaust chemistry in order to anticipate next-generation computations required to guide the sensor community. A variety of organic, composite, and liquid fuel types is described along with the dopants that can be introduced. Chemical behavior is outlined within thecombustion chamber and through the nozzle expansion zone. A brief history of exhaust kinetics modeling is then provided. Increasing complexity of reaction lists, integrators, and coupling to fluid dynamics are stressed. Parameterized submechanisms are recommended relevant to the major radiation interaction types. The nonequilibrium aerosol is dealt with over a range of compositions and sizes. We conclude by organizing a list of potential research priorities. Due to computational intensity and interdisciplinarity of the plume chemistry problem, cross-institutional programs are advised. Increased reaction detail should improve the performance of existing kinetics routines and lead also to convergence. Automation of chemistry setup and optimization of numerics will facilitate sensitivity tests and reaction tailoring. Multifluid hydrodynamics and gaseous electronic calculations may yield insights on radio frequency emissions from the backstreaming and Mach diamond regimes.

Shock experiments in GRP were performed at Sandia National Laboratories and the US Army Research Laboratory. GRP is a heterogeneous material. The diagnostic measurements fluctuate beyond the precision of the experimental measurements but they do permit determination of an average response of the material at the end state. These experiments show that: (i) GRP deforms elastically in compression to at least 1.3 GPa; (ii) the deformation coordinates of shocked and re-shocked GRP lie on the deformation locus of initially shocked GRP to 4.3 GPa; (iii) and the release path of GRP shocked to varying magnitudes of stresses indicate that the GRP expands such that its density when stresses are released in the range of 3–5 GPa from a peak compressive stress of 9 GPa and above is lower than the initial density of GRP. Possible reasons for the observed lower density remain to be investigated.

SN - 00107999 AB - This experimental study examines the mineral/melt partitioning of incompatible trace elements among high-Ca clinopyroxene, garnet, and hydrous silicate melt at upper mantle pressure and temperature conditions. Experiments were performed at pressures of 1.2 and 1.6 GPa and temperatures of 1,185 to 1,370 °C. Experimentally produced silicate melts contain up to 6.3 wt% dissolved H2O, and are saturated with an upper mantle peridotite mineral assemblage of olivine+orthopyroxene+clinopyroxene+spinel or garnet. Clinopyroxene/melt and garnet/melt partition coefficients were measured for Li, B, K, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, and select rare earth elements by secondary ion mass spectrometry. A comparison of our experimental results for trivalent cations (REEs and Y) with the results from calculations carried out using the Wood-Blundy partitioning model indicates that H2O dissolved in the silicate melt has a discernible effect on trace element partitioning. Experiments carried out at 1.2 GPa, 1,315 °C and 1.6 GPa, 1,370 °C produced clinopyroxene containing 15.0 and 13.9 wt% CaO, respectively, coexisting with silicate melts containing ~1–2 wt% H2O. Partition coefficients measured in these experiments are consistent with the Wood-Blundy model. However, partition coefficients determined in an experiment carried out at 1.2 GPa and 1,185 °C, which produced clinopyroxene containing 19.3 wt% CaO coexisting with a high-H2O (6.26±0.10 wt%) silicate melt, are significantly smaller than predicted by the Wood-Blundy model. Accounting for the depolymerized structure of the H2O-rich melt eliminates the mismatch between experimental result and model prediction. Therefore, the increased Ca2+ content of clinopyroxene at low-temperature, hydrous conditions does not enhance compatibility to the extent indicated by results from anhydrous experiments, and models used to predict mineral/melt partition coefficients during hydrous peridotite partial melting in the sub-arc mantle must take into account the effects of H2O on the structure of silicate melts.

The corrosion and hydrogen permeation characteristics of Zn–Ni–Cd alloy coatings electrodeposited from alkaline bath were studied and compared with those of Cd and Zn–Ni coatings obtained using commercial baths. Zn–Ni–Cd alloy was electroplated from an alkaline sulfate bath under potentiostatic conditions. The corrosion potential of this Zn–Ni–Cd coating was −0.62 V vs. SCE, which is still negative potential compared to iron. The corrosion rate of Zn–Ni–Cd coated steel was 0.073 mm y−1, which is estimated in a 0.5 M Na2SO4+0.5 M H3BO3 solution at a pH of 7. This value is much lower than the corrosion rate of Zn–Ni alloy (0.502 mm y−1) and Cd (0.306 mm y−1) coatings deposited from commercial baths. Zn–Ni–Cd alloys are also demonstrated to have superior hydrogen permeation inhibition properties compared to Cd and Zn–Ni coatings. Kinetic parameters of hydrogen permeation such as the transfer coefficient, α, the modified exchange current density, i0′, thickness dependent adsorption–absorption rate constant, k″, recombination rate constant, k3, surface hydrogen coverage, θs, were evaluated by applying a mathematical model to analyze experimental results.

Under climatological wind and thermodynamic forcing, the model develops solutions that are in good agreement with the climatologically forced global MICOM results and with observations. When the observed winds force the model, interannual variability of the surface fields increases significantly. However, coalescence of the two large eddies off Somalia in the end of the summer monsoon suggested in earlier observations does not occur in the model. To identify what processes facilitate or restrict the merger, a series of experiments was performed with modified model parameters and forcing fields. The eddies coalesced when half-slip, rather than no-slip, boundary conditions were used. In this case, less positive vorticity was produced at the coast, resulting in reduced blocking effect on the propagation of the southern eddy. The Socotra Island, which is submerged in the standard model, hinders a northward movement of the Great Whirl, leading to a stronger interaction between the eddies, which results in their subsequent merging. A more realistic coalescence occurs in an experiment where winds are held constant after reaching the peak summer value.Freshwater fluxes from the east and south are important for the salinity budget in the Arabian Sea, where evaporation exceeds precipitation. The only significant cross-equatorial transport of low-salinity water occurs in the upper 400 m in the model. Most of this water is advected below the surface mixed layer at the western boundary. The strongest interaction between the mixed layer and the oceanic interior occurs during the summer in the coastal upwelling regions off Somalia. Almost half of all upwelled water comes from depths between 100 and 200 m, thus signifying the importance of mid-depth circulation and water mass distribution for the surface processes.

The buildings were initially monitored for about 1 1/2 months to establish a base condition. The roofs of the buildings were then painted with a white coating and the monitoring was continued. The original solar reflectivities of the roofs were about 26%; after the application of roof coatings the reflectivities increased to about 72%. The monitored electricity savings were about 0.5 kWh per day (33 Wh/m2 per day). The estimated annual savings are about 125 kWh per year (8.4 kWh/m2); at a cost of $0.1/kWh, savings are about $0.86/m2 per year. Obviously, it costs significantly more than this amount to coat the roofs with reflective coating, particularly because of the remote locations of these buildings. However, since the pre-fabricated roofs are already painted green at the factory, painting them a white (reflective) color would bring no additional cost. Hence, a reflective roof saves energy at no incremental cost.

This study uses Divisia decomposition and regression to test two candidate explanations—fuel mix and weather. The Divisia method demonstrates that fuel mix does not explain the declines in carbon intensity. The fuel mix, both overall and for electricity generation, became slightly more carbon intensive over the study period (though the slight trend reversed before the end of the period). A regression-based correction to the Divisia indices, accounting for variation in heating- and cooling-degree-days, indicates that warmer weather accounts for approximately 30% of the total declines. This leaves declines of more than 2% per year (and an acceleration of more than 1% over the previous decade) remaining to be explained.

We examine the growth in electricity demand between 1980 and 2000, as well as the composition of electricity end uses in 1999. One of the main conclusions from this analysis is that electricity use in California in the 1990s did not grow explosively, nor was the amount of growth unanticipated. In both absolute and relative terms, growth in electricity use was greater in the 1980s than the 1990s. During the 1990s, most of the growth in electricity use has been in the buildings sector, particularly commercial buildings. In 2000, the building sector accounted for 2/3 of annual electricity consumption and 3/4 of the summer peak load.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 92 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 0364152X AB - Recovery of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in a small east Tennessee stream impacted by fly ash discharges from a power plant was investigated over a period of 6.5 years. The rate of recovery was greatest in the first 2 years after an initial 75% reduction in coal use led to a similar reduction in ash discharges and associated contaminants; further recovery followed after all fly ash discharges ceased. Recovery of the stream progressed through two phases. In the first phase, which lasted for approximately the first 2 years, most density and richness metrics increased considerably. In the second phase of recovery, the increases in metric values were followed by declines before fluctuating in and out of the lower reference ranges for the metrics. Detrended correspondence analyses and indicator species analyses showed that changes in species composition and community structure were ongoing throughout the second phase. Thus, the first phase was characterized by species additions, while the second phase involved species replacements and shifts in community dominants. Further recovery of the macroinvertebrate community will probably depend on additional flushing of fly ash deposits from the streambed and flood plain, because their continued presence reduces habitat quality in the stream and serves as a potential source of contaminants. Further recovery also may be limited by the availability of vagile species in nearby watersheds.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/07//7/1/2003 VL - 37 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 2905 EP - 2912 SN - 0013936X AB - Green rusts (GRs), mixed iron(II)/iron(III) hydroxide minerals found in many suboxic environments, have been shown to reduce a range of organic and inorganic contaminants, including several chlorinated hydrocarbons. Many studies have demonstrated the catalytic activity of transition metal species in the reduction of chlorinated hydrocarbons, suggesting the potential for enhanced reduction by GR in the presence of an appropriate transition metal catalyst. Reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) was examined in aqueous suspensions of GR amended with Ag[sup I], Au[sup III], or Cu[sup II]. The CT reduction rates were greatly increased for systems amended with Cu[sup II], Au[sup III], and Ag[sup I] (listed in order of increasing rates) relative to GR alone. Observed intermediates and products included chloroform, dichloromethane, chloromethane, methane, acetylene, ethene, ethane, carbon monoxide, tetrachloroethene, and various nonchlorinated C[sub 3] and C[sub 4] compounds. Product distributions for the reductive dechlorination of CT were highly dependent on the transition metal used. A reaction pathway scheme is proposed in which CT is reduced primarily to methane and other nonchlorinated end products, largely through a series of one-electron reductions forming radicals and carbenes/carbenoids. Recently, X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of aqueous GR suspensions amended with Ag[sup I], Au[sup III], or Cu[sup II] showed that the metals were reduced to their zerovalent forms. A possible mechanism for CT reduction is the formation of a galvanic couple involving the zerovalent metal and GR, with reduction of CT occurring on the surface of the metal and GR serving as the bulk electron source. The enhanced reduction of CT by GR suspensions amended with Ag[sup I], Au[sup III], or Cu[sup II] may prove useful in the development of improved materials for remediation of chlorinated organic contaminants.

Test cell measurements of electro-osmotic transport in clayey cores extracted from the 27-31 m depth range of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory site indicate the importance of pH control within the anode and cathode reservoirs. In our first experiment, pH was not controlled. As a result, carbonate precipitation and metals precipitation occurred near the cathode end of the core, with acidification near the anode. The combination of these acid and base reactions led to the decline of electroosmotic flow by a factor of 2 in less than one pore volume. In a second experiment, long-term water transport (>21 pore volumes) at stable electro-osmotic conductivity (k[sub eo] ∼ 1 × 10[sup -9] m²/s-V) was effected with anode reservoir pH > 8, and cathode reservoir pH < 6. Hydraulic conductivity (k[sub h]) of the same core was 4 × 10[sup -10] m/s under a 0.07 MPa hydraulic gradient without electro-osmosis. Stable electro-osmotic flow was measured at a velocity of 4 × 10[sup -7] m/s under a 4 V/cm voltage gradient, and no hydraulic gradient—3 orders of magnitude greater than the hydraulic flow. We also observed chloroform production in the anode reservoir, resulting from electrochemical production of chlorine gas reacting with trace organics. The chloroform was transported electro-osmotically to the cathode, without measurable loss to adsorption, volatilization, or degradation.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 270 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 2750 EP - 2758 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00142956 AB - We have isolated and characterized a second [Fe]-hydrogenase gene from the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . The HydA2 gene encodes a protein of 505 amino acids that is 74% similar and 68% identical to the known HydA1 hydrogenase from C. reinhardtii. HydA2 contains all the conserved residues and motifs found in the catalytic core of the family of [Fe]-hydrogenases. We demonstrate that both the HydA1 and the HydA2 transcripts are expressed upon anaerobic induction, achieved either by neutral gas purging or by sulfur deprivation of the cultures. Furthermore, the expression levels of both transcripts are regulated (in some cases differently) by incubation conditions, such as the length of anaerobiosis, the readdition of O2 , the presence of acetate, and/or the absence of nutrients such as sulfate during growth. Antibodies specific for HydA2 recognized a protein of about 49 kDa in extracts from anaerobically induced C. reinhardtii cells, strongly suggesting that HydA2 encodes for an expressed protein. Homology-based 3D modeling of the HydA2 hydrogenase shows that its catalytic site models well to the known structure of Clostridium pasteurianum CpI, including the H2 -gas channel. The major differences between HydA1, HydA2 and CpI are the absence of the N-terminal Fe-S centers and the existence of extra sequences in the algal enzymes. To our knowledge, this work represents the first systematic study of expression of two algal [Fe]-hydrogenases in the same organism.

SN - 14346001 AB - Basic theoretical issues relating to the response of confined relativistic particles are considered including the scaling of the response in spacelike and timelike regions of momentum transfer and the role of final-state interactions. A simple single-particle potential model incorporating relativity and linear confinement is solved exactly and its response is calculated. The response is studied in common approximation schemes and it is found that final-state interactions effects persist in the limit that the three-momentum transferred to the target is large. The fact that the particles are bound leads to a nonzero response in the timelike region of four-momentum transfer equal to about 10% of the total strength. The strength in the timelike region must be taken into account to fulfill the particle number sum rule.

The cost savings estimate was updated using stochastic analysis based on new information from the Independent Review of Hanford High Level Waste Volume and the more recent Tank Waste Remediation System Operation and Utilization Plan. It is estimated that implementation of ESW in the tank waste remediation system (TWRS) at the Hanford Site can save approximately $4.8 billion compared to the use of an alternative, simpler water wash. The simpler water wash dissolution was found to be 85 percent as effective as the ESW dissolution. Further, the updated remediation cost estimate of $4.8 billion savings is uncertain only within ±$1.6 billion at the 95 percent confidence interval. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We show that CH is asymptotically equivalent to KdV5 (the fifth-order integrable equation in the KdV hierarchy) by using the non-linear/non-local transformations introduced in Kodama (Phys. Lett. A 107 (1985a) 245; Phys. Lett. A 112 (1985b) 193; Phys. Lett. A 123 (1987) 276). We also classify its travelling wave solutions as a function of Bond number by using phase plane analysis. Finally, we discuss the experimental observability of the CH solutions.

The bench scale experiments with 30 kWt (100,000 BTU/h) facility revealed better combustion for coal: FB blends (90:10) than for coal alone and the NOx emission were slightly less with the blend (Part II). Part III concerns with larger-scale (pilot plant) experiments conducted at the 150 kWt (150,0000 BTU/h) Combustion and Environmental Research Facility (CERF) of the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). Only fouling part of the results are reported in part III. The 90:10 coal:FB blend resulted in almost twice the ash output compared to coal and ash deposits on heat exchanger tubes that were more difficult to remove than baseline coal ash deposits. The increased fouling behavior with blend is probably due to the higher ash loading and ash composition of FB.

The KSTAR tokamak will use the non-inductive plasma current drive system, lower-hybrid current drive (LHCD) system for lone-pulse operation. A 5.0-GHz microwave coupler is designed for KSTAR LHCD experiments. Four high-power klystrons feed 128 guidelets at front coupler using hundred and twenty 3-dB power dividers including 3-dB power splitters in the coupler. The guidelet has a height of 5.5 cm and the width of 0.55 cm in order for the power flux density not to exceed 4.0 kW/cm2 at the guidelet. The coupler is constructed by laminating a stack of metal plates milled to waveguide patterns. This paper describes detailed design for the 3-dB power splitter, the fixed-phase shifter, and the taper section composing the coupler. Using the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) program, we achieved a phase difference of ±0.5° and a relative power difference less than 0.2% between two vertical guidelets.

Intact soil cores containing P. secunda were reciprocally transplanted between two elevations. Plants and soils were examined, respectively, 4.5 and 5 years later. The lower elevation (310 m) site is warmer (28.5 °C air average monthly maximum) and drier (224 mm yr-1 ) than the upper elevation (844 m) site (23.5 °C air average monthly maximum, 272 mm yr-1 ). Observations were also made on undisturbed plants at both sites. There was no effect of climate change on plant density, shoot biomass, or carbon isotope discrimination in either transplanted plant population. The cooler, wetter environment significantly reduced percent cover and leaf length, while the warmer, drier environment had no effect. Warming and drying reduced percent shoot nitrogen, while the cooler, wetter environment had no effect. Culm density was zero for the lower elevation plants transplanted to the upper site and was 10.3 culms m-2 at the lower site. There was no effect of warming and drying on the culm density of the upper elevation plants. Culm density of in situ lower elevation plants was greater than that of the in situ upper elevation plants. Warming and drying reduced total soil carbon 32% and total soil nitrogen 40%. The cooler, wetter environment had no effect on total soil C or N. Of the C and N that was lost over time, 64% of both came from the particulate organic matter fraction (POM, > 53 µ m). There was no effect of warming and drying on the upper population of P. secunda while exposing the lower population to the cooler, wetter environment reduced reproductive effort and percent cover. With the warmer and drier conditions that may develop with climate change, total C and N of semiarid soils may decrease with the active fraction of soil C also rapidly decreasing, which may alter ecosystem...

SN - 14345021 AB - In a continuum description of materials, the stress tensor field σ quantifies the internal forces the neighbouring regions exert on a region of the material. The classical theory of elastic solids assumes that σ determines the strain, while hydrodynamics assumes that σ determines the strain rate. To extend both successful theories to more general materials, which display both elastic and fluid properties, we recently introduced a descriptor generalizing the classical strain to include plastic deformations: the "statistical strain," based on averages of microscopic details ("A texture tensor to quantify deformations" M.Au., Y.J., J.A.G., F.G, companion paper, Granular Matter, this issue). Here, we apply such a statistical analysis to a two-dimensional foam steadily flowing through a constriction, a problem beyond reach of both traditional theories, and prove that the foam has the elastic properties of a (linear and isotropic) continuous medium.

T1 - Stability of hydrous minerals on the martian surface JO - ICARUS JF - ICARUS Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 164 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 96 SN - 00191035 AB - The presence of water-bearing minerals on Mars has long been discussed, but little or no data exist showing that minerals such as smectites and zeolites may be present on the surface in a hydrated state (i.e., that they could contain H2O molecules in their interlayer or extra-framework sites, respectively). We have analyzed experimental thermodynamic and X-ray powder diffraction data for smectite and the most common terrestrial zeolite, clinoptilolite, to evaluate the state of hydration of these minerals under martian surface conditions. Thermodynamic data for clinoptilolite show that water molecules in its extra-framework sites are held very strongly, with enthalpies of dehydration for Ca-clinoptilolite up to three times greater than that for liquid water. Using these data, we calculated the Gibbs free energy of hydration of clinoptilolite and smectite as a function of temperature and pressure. The calculations demonstrate that these minerals would indeed be hydrated under the very low-P (H2O) conditions existing on Mars, a reflection of their high affinities for H2O. These calculations assuming the partial pressure of H2O and the temperature range expected on Mars suggest that, if present on the surface, zeolites and Ca-smectites could also play a role in affecting the diurnal variations in martian atmospheric H2O because their calculated water contents vary considerably over daily martian temperature ranges. The open crystal structure of clinoptilolite and existing hydration and kinetic data suggest that hydration/dehydration are not kinetically limited. Based on these calculations, it is possible that hydrated zeolites and clay minerals may explain some of the recent observations of significant amounts of hydrogen not attributable to water ice at martian mid-latitudes.

A newly developed PM technique allowed the fabrication of microstructures with a nearly continuous α-Mo matrix. The creep strengths were determined by slow compression testing at an initial strain rate of 10−5 s−1 at temperatures ranging from 1200 to 1400 °C. Alloying with niobium improved the creep strength much more than alloying with tungsten. This result is rationalized in terms of the atomic size difference between Mo and Nb. Not only the composition but also the topology and scale of the microstructure had a pronounced influence on the creep strength. As expected, coarse microstructures with isolated α-Mo particles resulted in higher creep strengths than microstructures with a continuous α-Mo matrix.

Whereas in the as-cast condition, Cr2Nb exhibits the twinned C15 structure, Cr2Zr even after hot extrusion and annealing shows a heavily faulted C36 structure (or a higher order polytype such as a 6H structure). The ternary Cr2(Zr,Nb) compound exhibits the C36 structure in the as-cast condition but reverts to the C15 structure after annealing, the structural transformation being accompanied by a composition change. Solid-state precipitates of the Laves phase Cr2(Nb, Zr) in the ternary alloy that result in the matrix after annealing are always associated with dislocations. These dislocations either link to the interdendritic precipitates or link the solid-state precipitates to each other. Since the solubility of Zr is low in the matrix, we propose that pipe diffusion along these dislocations serves as the principal mechanism to redistribute the Zr from the interdendritic precipitates to the solid-state precipitates.

Coupled cluster (CCSD(T)) energies, extrapolated to the complete basis set (CBS) limit, were used to determine thermodynamic properties of the species in the gas phase, and the fully polarizable continuum model (FPCM) was used to calculate the effect of solvent on the energy changes. The calculated gas phase heats of formation in kcal mol−1 at 0 K, based on extrapolations through the aug-cc-pVQZ basis set, are: ΔHf(NO)=22.07 (calculated) vs. 21.46±0.04 (experimental); ΔHf(HNO)=26.39 (calculated) vs. 26.3±1 (experimental); ΔHf(NO2)=10.12 (calculated) vs. 8.59±0.2 (experimental); ΔHf(HONO2)=−29.87 (calculated) vs. −29.75±0.1 (experimental); ΔHf(HONO)=−15.79 (calculated) vs. −17.37±0.32 (experimental); ΔHf(HOONO)=−0.89 (calculated); ΔHf(NO2−)=−41.95 (calculated) vs. −43.8±0.2 (experimental); ΔHf(NO3−)=−70.76 (calculated) vs. −71.7±0.30 (experimental); and ΔHf(ONOO−)=−16.74 (calculated). The electron affinity of NO is calculated to be 0.62 kcal mol−1, based on extrapolations up through the aug-cc-pV5Z basis set, and falls within 0.02 kcal mol−1 of the experimental value. The corresponding heats of formation at 0 K in kcal mol−1 of the anions are: ΔHf(HNO)=26.93 (calculated); ΔHf(NO)=22.28 (calculated); ΔHf(NO−)=21.66 (calculated) vs. 20.86±0.16 (experimental). The calculated gas phase acidities of HNO, HONO, HOONO, and HONO2 are found to be in excellent agreement with experiment to within 1 kcal mol−1. Solvation calculations show that the free energy change for Ka in aqueous solution for HONO2, HONO, and HNO can be calculated within ∼2, 3, and 5 kcal mol−1 of experiment, respectively. However, the agreement for HCN (with an established pKa) and HOONO is much worse and the calculated results suggest that the effect of the directly interacting solvent shells around HCN and HOONO are quite different from those around HONO2, HONO, or HNO in terms of the solution phase acidity. Contrary to the view that HNO is an acid in aqueous solution, the pKa is estimated to be between 10 and 13 for HNO consistent with the latest experimental result. This suggests that the behavior of HNO in biological systems warrants further investigation as it is not an acid as has previously been accepted.

Quantitative SOC operators are discussed, and the symmetry properties of the SOC Hamiltonian important for understanding the general features of SOC are summarized. Comparison of the one- and two-electron contributions to SOC is given, followed by a discussion of commonly used approximations for the two-electron part. Applications of SOC to studies using effective and model core potentials have been analysed. The theoretical discussion is illustrated with numerous practical examples, including diatomic molecules (with an emphasis on hydrides) and some examples for polyatomic molecules. The fine structure of the SOC interaction (vibrational dependence) for some diatomic molecules has been elucidated.

The most important feature of the new analysis is the direct use of the Clapeyron equation rather than the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The analysis takes into account the finite volumes of the condensed phases, the nonideality of the vapor phase, and the solubility of carbon dioxide in water. New data for the solubility in the vicinity of the (water + hydrate + vapor) coexistence curve are employed. The enthalpy change of the reaction CO2 · nH2O(s)=CO2(g)+nH2O(l) is found to vary from (63.6 ± 1.8) kJ · mol−1 to (57.7 ± 1.8) kJ · mol−1 between quadruple points Q1 and Q2, and the hydration number varies from (6.6 ± 0.3) to (5.6 ± 0.3) over the same range.

The task in non-trivial because HMHD supports the whistler wave. This wave is dispersive (ω∼k2) and therefore results in diffusion-like numerical stability limits for explicit time integration methods. For HMHD, implicit approaches using time steps above the explicit numerical stability limits result in diagonally submissive Jacobian systems. Such systems are difficult to invert with iterative techniques. In this study, Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov iterative methods are employed for a fully implicit, nonlinear integration, and a semi-implicit (SI) preconditioner strategy, developed on the basis of a Schur complement analysis, is proposed. The SI preconditioner transforms the coupled hyperbolic whistler system into a fourth-order, parabolic, diagonally dominant PDE, amenable to iterative techniques. Efficiency and accuracy results are presented demonstrating that an efficient fully implicit implementation (i.e., faster than explicit methods) is indeed possible without sacrificing numerical accuracy.

In the context of unstructured meshes, however, maintaining good parallel efficiency is difficult with multiplicative iterative methods such as Gauss–Seidel. This leads us to consider alternative smoothers. We discuss the computational advantages of polynomial smoothers within parallel multigrid algorithms for positive definite symmetric systems. Two particular polynomials are considered: Chebyshev and a multilevel specific polynomial. The advantages of polynomial smoothing over traditional smoothers such as Gauss–Seidel are illustrated on several applications: Poisson’s equation, thin-body elasticity, and eddy current approximations to Maxwell’s equations. While parallelizing the Gauss–Seidel method typically involves a compromise between a scalable convergence rate and maintaining high flop rates, polynomial smoothers achieve parallel scalable multigrid convergence rates without sacrificing flop rates. We show that, although parallel computers are the main motivation, polynomial smoothers are often surprisingly competitive with Gauss–Seidel smoothers on serial machines.

They increase the resistance of the circuits, and may even lead to a fatal failure. In this work, we analyze numerically the electromigration of an unpassivated bamboo-type line with pre-existing irregularities in its top surface (also called a grain–void interface). The bamboo line is subjected to surface diffusion forces and external electric fields. Under these forces, initial defects may either heal or become worse. The grain–void interface is considered to be one-dimensional, and the physical formulation of an electromigration and diffusion model results in two coupled, fourth order, one-dimensional time-dependent PDEs, with the boundary conditions imposed at the electrode points and at the triple point, which belongs to two neighboring grains and the void. These equations are discretized by finite differences on a regular grid in space, and by a Runge–Kutta integration scheme in time, and solved simultaneously with a static Laplace equation describing the voltage distribution throughout each grain, when the substrate conductivity is neglected. Since the voltage distribution is required only along an interface line, the two-dimensional discretization of the grain interior is not needed, and the static problem is solved by the boundary element method at each time step. The motion of the interface line is studied for different ratios between diffusion and electric field forces, and for different initial configurations of the grain–void interface. We study plain and tilted contour lines, considering positive and negative tilts with respect to the external electric field, a stepped contour with field lines entering or exiting the ‘step’, and a number of modifications of the classical Mullins problem of thermal grooving. We also consider a two-grain Mullins problem with a normal and tilted boundary between the grains, examining positive and negative tilts.

The study was carried out adjacent to a former waste burial site in Waste Area Grouping 5 (WAG5) on the Oak Ridge Reservation, Oak Ridge, TN. A contaminant plume containing TCE and its daughter products were detected downgradient from the buried waste pits, with most of the contamination occurring in the upper 6 m of the bedrock. The monitoring well array consists of a 35-m-long transect of multilevel sampling wells, situated along a line between the waste pits and a seep which discharges into a small stream. Concentrations of volatile organic carbons (VOCs) were highest in the waste trenches and decreased with distance downgradient towards the seep. Sampling wells indicated the presence of overlapping plumes of TCE, cis-dichloroethylene (cDCE), vinyl chloride (VC), ethylene, ethane, and methane, with the daughter products extending further downgradient than the parent (TCE). This type of distribution suggests anaerobic biodegradation. Measurements of redox potential at the site indicated that iron-reduction, sulfate reduction, and potentially methanogensis were occurring and are conducive to dechlorination of TCE. Bacteria enrichment of groundwater samples revealed the presence of methanotrophs, methanogens, iron-reducing bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria, all of which have previously been implicated in anaerobic biodegradation of TCE. 16S rDNA sequence from DNA extracted from two wells were similar to sequences of organisms previously implicated in the anaerobic biodegradation of chlorinated solvents. The combined data strongly suggest that anaerobic biodegradation of the highly chlorinated compounds is occurring. Aerobic biodegradation may also be occurring in oxygenated zones, including near a seep where groundwater exits the site, or in the upper bedrock during seasonal fluctuations in water table elevation and oxygen levels.

Examples include Fc receptor-mediated adhesion and signaling and formation of the immunological synapse between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. The advantage of the supported planar bilayer system is control of the bilayer composition and the optical advantages of imaging the cell–bilayer or bilayer–bilayer interface by various types of trans-, epi- and total internal reflection illumination. Supported planar bilayers are simple to form by liposome fusion and recent advances in micro- and nanotechnology greatly extend the power of supported bilayers to address key questions in immunology and cell biology.

The host crystal contains two slightly inequivalent Y3+ ions, each with an approximate C2v site symmetry. Anti-Stokes emission from the 4G7/2 and 4D3/2 levels was observed after laser excitation of the 4F3/2 and 4F9/2 multiplets. Laser excitation at 413 cm−1 or 453 cm−1 above the 4F3/2 multiplet resulted in emission from the 2P1/2 level. Laser site-selective upconverted emission spectra have been measured, as well as their emission transients and power dependence. Possible excited state absorption and energy-transfer upconversion (ETU) mechanisms are proposed and discussed. Due to the smaller crystal field and a somewhat different energy level structure for the Nd3+ ions in RbY2Cl7 as compared with those observed for Nd3+ in fluoride or oxide hosts, the 4G7/2 and 4D3/2 multiplets are populated under 4F3/2 excitation in a three and four step ETU process, respectively, instead of in a two and three step process as observed for the lighter hosts.

This is achieved by replacing the acquisition dimension in the original experiment with a train of equally spaced π-pulses. It is shown that the echoes following the odd and even π-pulses in the CPMG train must be processed differently in order to avoid spectral distortions. The method is illustrated for 13C CP-ME-PHORMAT on solid 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene and for 1H ME-PHORMAT on excised rat liver tissue, both at a sample-spinning rate of 1.3 Hz. Sensitivity enhancements of a factor 4 for the solid and 2.3 for the liver were obtained. Finally, it is shown that with ME-PHORMAT one of the two RF pulse sequences, in standard PHORMAT used to obtain a pure absorption mode 2D spectrum, can be eliminated, thus reducing the usually long measuring time by a factor 2.

By means of a Fourier space approach it is possible to compute analytically the Fourier representation of the demagnetization tensor field for a given shape. Then, specifying the direction of the uniform magnetization, the demagnetizing field and the magnetostatic energy associated with the particle can be evaluated. In some particular cases, the real space representation is computable analytically. In general, a numerical inverse fast Fourier transform is required to perform the inversion. As an example, the demagnetization tensor field for the tetrahedron will be given.

Palladium coatings were deposited by both electroless plating (1–2 μm thick Pd layer) and cold plasma-discharge sputtering with two different thicknesses, 0.04 or 1.2 μm. All samples studied showed declining permeability values with surface fouling over time. The highest absolute values of permeability were observed at the lowest temperatures of study (623–773 K). However, permeability data taken at 1173 K tended to be more consistent with less scatter. The overall trend exhibited declining permeability values as a function of temperature. As confirmed by surface analysis, the palladium coating was lost from the coated tantalum samples. In one test, a 1.2 μm sputter-coated palladium film was observed peeling off the tantalum surface after 49 h at 773 K. The tantalum surface of all tested samples exhibited oxidation, distortion and cracking. Tantalum hydride formation was observed at 623 K on a palladium sputter-coated sample. Surface fouling limited the hydrogen permeability of all samples studied.

The algorithm effectively distributes both the computation and memory requirements of the analysis. We discuss an implementation of the algorithm in the Genehunter linkage analysis package (version 2.1), enabling Genehunter to run on distributed-memory platforms for the first time. Our preliminary benchmarks indicate reasonable scalability of the algorithm even for fixed-size problems, with parallel efficiencies of 75% or more on up to 128 processors. In addition, we have extended the hard-coded limit of 16 non-founding individuals in Genehunter 2.1 to a new limit of 32 non-founding individuals.

In contrast with the broad emission spectra associated with bulk or single molecules of these species in thin films, we observe narrow photoluminescence emission spectra (10-15 nm fwhm) from individual oriented polymer nanostructures with no evidence of spectral diffusion on time scales of several hundred seconds. The distribution of center frequencies (from several hundred individual nanoparticle measurements) shows clearly defined peaks that can be correlated with excitonic traps of integer multiples of monomer conjugation lengths (8, 9, 10, and 11). The observation of discrete emission characteristics in this important class of materials suggests exciting possibilities in photonics and molecular optoelectronics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 107 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 6276 SN - 15206106 AB - Synchrotron-based time-resolved X-ray diffraction was used to study in situ the crystalline phases present during the preparation of bulk and silica-supported MoP, Ni2P, and MoNiP by reduction of oxidic precursors in hydrogen. Independent of the type of oxidic precursor used or the presence of silica as a support, the formation of the metal phosphides occurs at temperatures between 600 and 800 °C. Since the common species in all the cases are phosphate-type groups (POx), it seems that their reduction by hydrogen is the final and determining step in the formation of MoP, Ni2P, and MoNiP. Silica-stabilized phosphide phases were detected during the synthesis of Ni2P/SiO2 and MoP/SiO2 catalysts. In the case of Ni2P/SiO2, before the appearance of the final phosphide, strong diffraction lines are observed for Ni12P5. First-principles density functional calculations for bulk MoP, Ni2P, and MoNiP indicate that the Ni-P and Mo-P bonds in these compounds have a small degree of ionic character. For MoP, Ni2P, and MoS2 a correlation is found between the electronic properties of the metal cations and their hydrodesulfurization activities when supported on silica. Surprisingly, a MoNiP/SiO2 catalyst is much less active than either MoP/SiO2 or Ni2P/SiO2 catalysts.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 107 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 6286 SN - 15206106 AB - Formyl radical has been detected in zeolite NaY at room temperature by step-scan FT-infrared spectroscopy upon photodissociation of glycolaldehyde or acetaldehyde precursor. Identification was made by the C=O stretch absorption at 1847 cm-1 and a 13C isotope shift of 40 cm-1. The decay shows biphasic kinetics independent of the precursor used. In the case of glycolaldehyde, the final products recorded by static FT-IR spectroscopy can be explained by the exclusive reaction of HCO and CH2OH radicals. This allowed us to assign the initial decay with a lifetime of 24 ± 3 μs to geminate reactive encounters of HCO and CH2OH radicals. The subsequent long tail extending to 500 μs is well described by a second-order rate law consistent with nongeminate reaction of the radicals. This is the first direct kinetic observation of geminate and nongeminate radical reactions in a zeolite.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 107 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 6377 SN - 15206106 AB - A molecular-level study of polymer surface behavior during elongation was performed for relatively short (710-1450 g/mol) soft and hard polyurethane (PUR) block copolymers. Two copolymers differing only in the length of the hard segment were investigated. Surface-specific sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy was used to observe the backbone methylene group orientation as PUR films were stretched to elongations up to 100-150% of the original length. The soft and hard copolymer segments are distinguishable by SFG, enabling the analysis of changes in surface composition and molecular orientation caused by elongation. The difference between the surface compositions of the two copolymers is distinguishable by SFG. However, both as-cast PUR copolymer films are enriched with the lower surface tension soft segments. The hard segment length controls the surface composition. With elongation, the intensity of the methylene symmetric stretch increases relative to that of the antisymmetric stretch, suggesting an increase in the upward orientation of the backbone methylene groups. Under fixed elongation, the symmetric to antisymmetric stretch intensity ratio of methylene decreases, and the ether methylene symmetric stretch intensities decrease below their original value, indicating a permanent change in the surface composition.

JO - Journal of Radioanalytical & Nuclear Chemistry JF - Journal of Radioanalytical & Nuclear Chemistry Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 257 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 169 EP - 174 SN - 02365731 AB - The rapidly increasing therapeutic applications of 188Re in nuclear medicine, oncology and interventional cardiology require routine production of large, multi-Curie levels of the 188W parent. The capability and effective coordination of back-up production sites is important to insure that high level 188W/188Re generators are continually available. We have coordinated 188W production at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR - Oak Ridge, US) with production at the BR2 Reactor (Mol, Belgium) characterized by peak thermal neutron fluxes of 2.51·015 (HFIR) and 1·1015 (BR2) neutrons/cm2·sec, respectively. The long 69-day physical half-life permits receipt of 188W from BR2 within 0.25 T1/2's, even after the 12-day post irradiation cooling required for 187W decay (T1/2 = 24 hours). Since 188W production by double neutron capture of enriched 186W is a function of the square of the thermal neutron flux, HFIR production (4-5 Ci 188W/g 186W/cycle) is higher than at the BR2 (1.0-1.1 Ci/g 186W/cycle). However, the specific activity (SA) of BR2-produced 188W is still about 0.8-0.9 Ci/g after processing at ORNL following shipment from Belgium. This SA is sufficiently high to permit fabrication of 1 Ci generators suitable for clinical use, since simple post elution concentration of the saline bolus (30-50 ml) obtained from the generator can provide samples with high specific volume (1 ml volume). The time periods from reactor “push' in Mol and completion of processing, fabrication and shipment of generators from Oak Ridge have been 19-21 days. Six “campaigns' have been successfully completed since 1998, with processed levels of 188W in Oak Ridge from 8-26 Curies/campaign. 188W has been provided to MAP Medical technologies Oy (Tikkakoski, Finland) for fabrication and distribution of generators for use at IAEA-supported research projects in developing countries. We have thus established and demonstrated an effective collaboration between the Studiecentrum voor Kernenergie-Centre d'Etude de l'Energie Nucléaire (SCK·CEN) and ORNL for back-up production of 188W. This collaboration continues to be especially helpful during periods when interruption of HFIR operation is necessary for maintenance and upgrades.

Here we disclose studies examining the use of large amplitude voltage excitations (applied for short periods of time) to cause fragmentation of the ions of interest. This process has been examined using leucine enkephalin as the model compound and the motion of the ions within the ion trap simulated using ITSIM. The resulting fragmentation information obtained is identical with that observed by conventional resonance excitation CID. “Fast excitation” CID deposits (as determined by the intensity ratio of the a4/b4 ion of leucine enkephalin) approximately the same amount of internal energy into an ion as conventional resonance excitation CID where the excitation signal is applied for much longer periods of time. The major difference between the two excitation techniques is the higher rate of excitation (gain in kinetic energy) between successive collisions with helium atoms with “fast excitation” CID as opposed to the conventional resonance excitation CID. With conventional resonance excitation CID ions fragment while the excitation voltage is still being applied whereas for “fast excitation” CID a higher proportion of the ions fragment in the ion cooling time following the excitation pulse. The fragmentation of the (M + 17H)17+ of horse heart myoglobin is also shown to illustrate the application of “fast excitation” CID to proteins.

Mech. Phys. Solids 17 (1969) 201) of void growth to account for the void size effect based on the Taylor dislocation model, and have found that small voids tend to grow slower than large voids. For a perfectly plastic solid, the void size effect comes into play through the ratio ϵl/R0, where l is the intrinsic material length on the order of microns, ϵ the remote effective strain, and R0 the void size. For micron-sized voids and small remote effective strain such that ϵl/R0⩽0.02, the void size influences the void growth rate only at high stress triaxialities. However, for sub-micron-sized voids and relatively large effective strain such that ϵl/R0>0.2, the void size has a significant effect on the void growth rate at all levels of stress triaxiality. We have also obtained the asymptotic solutions of void growth rate at high stress triaxialities accounting for the void size effect. For ϵl/R0>0.2, the void growth rate scales with the square of mean stress, rather than the exponential function in the Rice–Tracey model (1969). The void size effect in a power-law hardening solid has also been studied.

SN - 09388990 AB - Large-scale public genomic sequencing efforts have provided a wealth of vertebrate sequence data poised to provide insights into mammalian biology. These include deep genomic sequence coverage of human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, and two pufferfish (Fugu rubripes and Tetraodon nigroviridis) (Aparicio et al. 2002; Lander et al. 2001; Venter et al. 2001; Waterston et al. 2002). In addition, a high-priority has been placed on determining the genomic sequence of chimpanzee, dog, cow, frog, and chicken (Boguski 2002). While only recently available, whole genome sequence data have provided the unique opportunity to globally compare complete genome contents. Furthermore, the shared evolutionary ancestry of vertebrate species has allowed the development of comparative genomic approaches to identify ancient conserved sequences with functionality. Accordingly, this review focuses on the initial comparison of available mammalian genomes and describes various insights derived from such analysis.

The finite element analyses were used to examine the role of seven independent features (number of silicon particle sites, uniformity of particle sizes which were micron size, shape of particles, additional microporosity, temperature, prestrain history, and loading conditions) in debonding and fracture of hard silicon particles in a cast A356 aluminum alloy. Owing to the wide range of features that can affect void/crack nucleation, an optimal matrix of finite element calculations is generated using a statistical method of design of experiments (DOE). The DOE method was used to independently screen the parametric influences concerning void/crack nucleation by second phase fracture or interface debonding. The results clearly show that the initial temperature was the most dominant influence parameter with respect to the others for both fracture and debonding. Experiments were then performed at three temperatures to quantify the void/crack nucleation from notch tensile specimen fracture surfaces. The data verified the importance of the temperature dependence on void/crack nucleation and showed that as the temperature decreased, the void nucleation rate increased. The Horstemeyer–Gokhale void/crack nucleation model was modified to include the temperature dependence and material constants were determined based on the experimental data. This study exemplifies a methodology of bridging various size scale analyses by sorting out the pertinent cause–effect relations from the structure–property relations.

In this work, we present a numerical method for finding such fields in the case of infinitely-long particles. The method is based on discretizing the continuous misfit region between the particle and matrix into local misfit regions consisting of interstitial dislocation loops. The results presented here indicate very good agreement with analytical solutions and better convergence with increasing loop density.

In breast cancer, tumor cells are in direct contact with the surrounding highly activated collagenous stroma, with little or no discernible myoepithelial fence from the original double-layered structure. To understand the evolution of these two scenarios, we took advantage of a three-dimensional hydrated collagen gel approach. The contribution of myoepithelial cells to normal morphogenesis was studied by ablation and rescue experiments, and genes regulated on tumor cell–fibroblast interaction were identified in a tumor environment assay. In normal breast morphogenesis, the ability to correctly polarize sialomucin to the luminal membrane of emerging acini was used as a criterion for apical polarity and functional differentiation. In the assay of breast neoplasia, the consequence of reciprocal tumor cell–fibroblast interaction was addressed morphologically as well as by a differential display approach. Normal breast epithelial cells were purified immunomagnetically and an established cell line, MCF-7, was used as a surrogate tumor cell. With regard to the importance of myoepithelial cells in normal breast epithelial morphogenesis, the collagen gel assay elucidated the following subtleties: In contrast to culturing in basement membrane gels, luminal epithelial cells when cultured alone made structures that were all inversely polarized. This aberrant polarity could be rescued by co-culture with myoepithelial cells. The molecular activity of myoepithelial cells responsible for correct morphogenesis was narrowed down to the laminin-1 component of the basement membrane. As for the consequence of interaction of tumor cells with connective tissue fibroblasts, the assay allowed us to identify a hitherto undescribed gene referred to as EPSTI1. The relevance of the assay-based identification of regulated genes was confirmed in a series of breast carcinomas in which EPSTI1 was highly upregulated compared with normal breast. Few if any of these observations would have been possible on two-dimensional tissue culture plastic.

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 83 EP - 91 SN - 00953628 AB - A characterization of the Shiprock, NM, uranium mill tailing site focused on the geochemical and microbiological factors governing in-situ uranium-redox reactions. Groundwater and aqueous extracts of sediment samples contained a wide concentration range of sulfate, nitrate, and U(VI) with median values of 21.2 mM, 16.1 µM, and 2.7 µM, respectively. Iron(III) was not detected in groundwater, but a median value of 0.3 mM in sediment extracts was measured. Bacterial diversity down gradient from the disposal pile reflected the predominant geochemistry with relatively high numbers of sulfate- and nitrate-reducing microorganisms, and smaller numbers of acetogenic, methanogenic, nitrate-dependent Fe(II)-oxidizing, Fe(III)-reducing, and sulfide-oxidizing bacteria. In aquifer slurry incubations, nitrate reduction was always preferred and had a negative impact on sulfate-, Fe(III)-, and U-reduction rates. We also found that sulfate-reduction rates decreased sharply in the presence of clay, while Fe(III)-reduction increased with no clear impact on U reduction. In the absence of clay, iron and sulfate reduction correlated with concentrations of Fe(III) and sulfate, respectively. Rates of U(VI) loss did not correlate with the concentration of any electron acceptor. With the exception of Fe(III), electron donor amendment was largely unsuccessful in stimulating electron acceptor loss over a 2-week incubation period, suggesting that endogenous forms of organic matter were sufficient to support microbial activity. Our findings suggest that efforts to accelerate biological U reduction should initially focus on stimulating nitrate removal.

Under an argon atmosphere, crystalline [Cu(μ-mesityl)]5, [Ag(μ-mesityl)]4, and [Au(μ-mesityl)]5 were readily dissolved in octylamine (0.3 M solution) and subsequently injected into a heated hexadecylamine solution (300 °C), generating the corresponding metal nanoparticles. After washing with methanol and extracting with toluene, oxide-free coinage NPs were isolated and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Under these conditions, the spherical NPs were found to be 8-9 nm in size for Cu° (no surface oxide present), 9 nm for Ag°, and 8-80 nm for Au°. Reducing the concentration of the precursor solution, the temperature of the solution, and the time of reaction led to the synthesis of Au° NPs that were 12 ± 1 nm in size.

We developed a scheme in which the momentum compaction factor of the machine was changed as the antiprotons were decelerated, so that the energies of interest to the experiment were kept above transition. The scheme was used during the E-835 10-month run of the year 2000. Here we describe the design criteria, operational procedures and diagnostic tools we used to exploit the machine as an efficient antiproton decelerator. The machine performance during data taking is also discussed, in relation to the main experimental requirements.

PhIP and IQ are heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are found in cooked meat and may be risk factors for cancer. Typical chemoprevention studies have used carcinogen doses many thousand-fold higher than usual human daily intake. Therefore, we administered a low dose of [14C] PhIPand [3H] IQand utilized accelerator mass spectrometry to quantify PhIP adducts in the liver, colon, prostate, and blood plasma and IQadducts in the liver and blood plasma with high sensitivity. Diets supplemented with phenethylisothiocyanate (PEITC), genistein, chlorophyllin, or lycopene were evaluated for their ability to decrease adduct formation of [14C] PhIPand [3H] IQin rats. We also examined the effect of treatments on the activity of the phase II detoxification enzymes glutathione S-transferase (GST), UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UGT), phenol sulfotransferase (SULT) and quinone reductase (QR). PEITC and chlorophyllin significantly decreased PhIP-DNA adduct levels in all tissues examined, which was reflected by similar changes in PhIP binding to albumin in the blood. In contrast, genistein and lycopene tended to increase PhIP adduct levels. The treatments did not significantly alter the level of IQ-DNA or -protein adducts in the liver.With the exception of lycopene, the treatments had some effect on the activity of one or more hepatic phase II detoxification enzymes. We conclude that PEITC and chlorophyllin are protective of PhIP-induced genotoxicity after a low exposure dose of carcinogen, possibly through modification of HCA metabolism.

We discuss this within the context of two different parallel algorithms for sparse Gaussian elimination: a multifrontal solver (MUMPS), and a supernodal one (SuperLU). The performance of our initial strategies based on simple MPI point-to-point communication primitives is very sensitive to the MPI system, particularly the way MPI buffers are used. Using nonblocking communication primitives improves the performance and robustness, but at the cost of increased code complexity.

Parallel to the fibres the stress in the Kanthal ranged from 40 MPa (V[SUBf] = 10 vol.%) to 1100 MPa (V[SUBf] = 70 vol.%) compared with -1877 MPa (V[SUBf] = 10 vol.%) to -400 MPa (V[SUBf] = 70 vol.%) for the tungsten. Perpendicular to the fibres the stress ranged from -52 MPa (V[SUBf] = 10 vol.%) to 620 MPa (V[SUBf] = 70 vol.%) in the Kanthal compared with -778 MPa (V[SUBf] = 10 vol.%) to -195 MPa (V[SUBf] = 70 vol.%) in the tungsten. Assuming that the measured residual stresses were solely thermal in origin, predictions were made using concentric cylinder and finite-element models. In the absence of hardening data the assumed material behaviour was elastic-perfectly plastic and the predictions underestimated the measured stresses for all volume fractions. Nevertheless the model results were consistent with the experimental measurements. The transverse stress in the fibres is discussed in the context of the interface normal stress, which is significant to the global mechanical response.

Dynamic periodic error occurs when the measurement signal, or intended ac interference term, and unwanted dc interference terms, that exist due to frequency leakage in physical implementations of heterodyne interferometers, are both present within the phase measuring electronics’ modulation bandwidth. The situation is similar to the well-documented pseudo-static periodic error observed at low slide speeds, where the intended ac interference, leakage-induced ac interference, and ac reference terms all lie within the modulation bandwidth.The Frequency–Path (F–P) model of the propagation of light from the source to detector for differential-path interferometers is also presented. This model identifies each possible path for each light frequency from the source to detector and predicts the number of interference terms that may be expected at the detector output. We show that, regardless of the interferometer configuration, the behavior of each interference term with respect to optical path changes may be grouped into one of four categories: optical power, ac interference, ac reference, and dc interference. The application of the F–P model to the generic description of periodic error in a single pass, Michelson-type heterodyne interferometer is provided.

Modeling of EK pump systems predicts that the additive, trimethylammoniopropane sulfonate (TMAPS), will result in up to a 3.3-fold increase in pumping efficiency and up to a 2.5-fold increase in the generated pressure. These predictive relations compare well with experimental results for flow, pressure and efficiency. With these improvements, pressures up to 156 kPa/V (22 psi/V) and efficiency up to 5.6% are demonstrated. Similar improvements can be expected from a wide range of zwitterionic species that exhibit large dipole moments and positive linear dielectric increments. These improvements lead to a reduction in voltage and power requirements and will facilitate miniaturization of micro-total-analysis systems (μTAS) and microfluidically driven actuators.

However, these devices may undergo changes in response due to changes in temperature or humidity that must be taken into consideration when developing calibration models. The devices can also display significant hysteresis effects after exposure to VOC vapor. These effects are complicated by the fact that each sensor within an array is coated with a different polymer, each with a different response to temperature, humidity, and VOC exposure. It is shown that partial least squares (PLS) can provide quantitative predictions of trichloroethylene (TCE) using an array of chemiresistors through appropriate experimental design. Effects of humidity and temperature on the response of chemiresistor arrays and predictive ability of PLS are also discussed. It is also shown that to truly assess the quality of a calibration model it must be first tested through prediction of a test set at a time separated from the acquisition of the calibration data. Using only leave-one-out cross-validation results from the calibration can lead to unwarranted confidence in a model that is not stable with respect to changing environmental conditions and device drift.

A single realization of the process will be defined as x(t). This is slightly different from the usual definition of the product model where the window is typically defined as deterministic. An estimate of the energy (the zero order temporal moment, only in special cases is this physical energy) of the random process, {x(t)}, is defined as m_0=∫_{-∞}^{∞}|x(t)|^2dt=∫_{-∞}^{∞}|w(t)g(t)|^2dt Relationships for the mean and variance of the energy estimates, m_0, are then developed. It is shown that for many cases the uncertainty (4π times the product of rms duration, D_t, and rms bandwidth, D_f) is approximately the inverse of the normalized variance of the energy. The uncertainty is a quantitative measure of the expected error in the energy estimate. If a transient has a significant random component, a small uncertainty parameter implies large error in the energy estimate. Attempts to resolve a time/frequency spectrum near the uncertainty limits of a transient with a significant random component will result in large errors in the spectral estimates.

The method requires access to the element stiffness matrices, which enables accurate approximation of algebraically “smooth” vectors (i.e., error components that relaxation cannot effectively eliminate). Most other algebraic multigrid methods are based in some manner on predefined concepts of smoothness. Coarse-grid selection and prolongation, for example, are often defined assuming that smooth errors vary slowly in the direction of “strong” connections (relatively large coefficients in the operator matrix). One aim of ρAMGe is to broaden the range of problems to which the method can be successfully applied by avoiding any implicit premise about the nature of the smooth error. ρAMGe uses the spectral decomposition of small collections of element stiffness matrices to determine local representations of algebraically smooth error components. This provides a foundation for generating the coarse level and for defining effective interpolation. This paper presents a theoretical foundation for ρAMGe along with numerical experiments demonstrating its robustness.

The preconditioner is applicable to both structured and unstructured meshes and offers a straightforward approach for the iterative solution of second- and fourth-order structural mechanics problems. The approach involves constraints associated with disjoint sets of nodes on substructure boundaries. These constraints provide the means for preconditioning at both the substructure and global levels. Numerical examples are presented that demonstrate the good performance of the method in terms of iterations, compute time, and condition numbers of the preconditioned equations.

For this discretization method, a necessary and sufficient condition depending on the mesh size h for the existence of this first-order stable scheme at a regular (i.e., interior) grid point is found in terms of the anisotropy matrix. For this discretization method, a way to analyze the existence of a first-order stable scheme at an irregular (i.e., boundary) grid point is also given. The arguments are identical to those for the two-dimensional case [M. A. Dumett and J. P. Keener, A Numerical Method for Solving Anisotropic Elliptic Boundary Value Problems on an Irregular Domain in 2D, manuscript]; only the details change. Unlike in [M. A. Dumett and J. P. Keener, A Numerical Method for Solving Anisotropic Elliptic Boundary Value Problems on an Irregular Domain in 2D, manuscript], a discussion of Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions is also included. In particular, it is shown that the Gerschgorin condition does not impose sign restrictions on irregular grid points stencil coefficients as in the Neumann case.

Hazardous waste sites contaminated with metals can be screened for the implementation of monitored natural attenuation on the basis of contaminant-specific soil chemical characteristics (i.e., K[SUBd]'s, solubilities, and)nonexchangeable sorbed fraction). Field cases are used to demonstrate the screening approach and to outline the primary considerations involved in accurately applying sequential extraction procedures to support the of MNA for site remediation. The results of these case studies provide strong evidence that site-specific screening and the use of sequential extraction procedures are effective methods for evaluating natural attenuation for metals impacted sites.

While there were no operational taxonomic units (OTUs) having more than three individuals, about 96–99% of the OTUs had only a single individual. The clones showing less than 85% similarity to the sequences in the current databases were fully sequenced. The majority of the clones (55%) had sequences that were more than 20% different from those in the current databases. About 37% of the clones differed by 15–20% in sequence from the database, 16% of the clones differed by 10–15%, and 5% of the clones differed by only 1–10%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these sequences fell into 10 of the 35–40 known phylogenetic divisions. Many of the clones were affiliated with Acidobacterium (35%). While a substantial portion of the clones belong to alpha (24%) and beta (12%) Proteobacteria, a few of them were affiliated with delta (6%) and gamma (3%) Proteobacteria. About 6% of the clones belong to Planctomycetes, and 4% of the clones were related to gram-positive bacteria. About 4% of clones were related to other bacterial divisions, including Cytophaga, Green sulfur bacteria, Nitrospira, OP10, and Verrucomicrobia. Eight sequences had no specific association with any of the known divisions or candidate divisions and were phylogenetically divided into three novel division level groups, named AD1, AD2 and AD3. Candidate division AD1 represented by six clones (4%) was found in both sites and consisted of two subdivisions. The community structures were similar between these two widely separated, sandy, oligotrophic, surface soils under grass vegetation in a temperate, humid climate but somewhat dissimilar to community structures revealed in similar studies in other types of soil habitats.

A short history of the technique is given, starting from the early 1970s up to the present time. This is followed by a summary of radical detection and gas phase interaction results aimed towards achieving a basic understanding of this process. Next, issues particular to HWCVD growth are presented. These deal mainly with the filament, and include different methods of mounting filaments, filament contamination issues, filament alloying and its effect on both filament lifetime and film properties, and substrate heating by the filament. Differences between PECVD and HWCVD growth are then summarized, and this is followed by examples of research results indicating unique film properties. Included in these examples are works on amorphous silicon, microcrystalline silicon, silicon nitride, and a new technique for deposition of large grained poly Si by utilizing the etching of silicon by atomic hydrogen produced by the filament. Finally, the future prospects of HWCVD are briefly discussed.

The creation efficiency as well as its kinetics is essentially the same between 4 and 300 K despite drastic changes in the recombination processes. Defects are created with the same spin signature but with greatly different thermal stability and electron capture cross sections. There appears to be a strong link between the latter two properties. The creation-annealing hystereses of free carrier lifetime and defect concentration are explained. The SWE is reduced in high electric fields at 4.2 K suggesting the possible importance of non-radiative geminate recombinations. The validity of accepted rate equations for the SWE excited by cw and laser pulses is questioned. Evidence for long-lived (∼10 μs) precursors of SWE defect creation is presented. Problems with existing SWE models and understanding of defect capture properties are formulated.

A brief restatement of key model features and assumptions is followed by a review of recent, related, experimental and theoretical studies. Experimental tests and discoveries support several predictions and requirements of the model, including observation of (1) H pairing in the metastability final state, (2) a new timescale in defect creation, (3) an extremely high diffusion rate of mobile H and (4) room-temperature light-induced H motion. However, an experiment in a-SiGe:H casts doubt on the assumption of quasi-equilibration between the mobile H and dangling bonds. Theorists and modelers devised microscopic proposals for paired H in the metastability final state, but no entirely successful picture has emerged.

We discuss a recently developed network-rebonding model involving bonding rearrangements of silicon and hydrogen atoms. Using tight-binding molecular dynamics we find non-radiative recombination can break weak silicon bonds with low activation energies, producing dangling bond–floating bond pairs. The transient floating bonds annihilate generating local hydrogen motion and leaving behind isolated dangling bonds. Charged defects are also observed. Major experimental features of metastability including electron-spin resonance, t1/3 kinetics, dangling-bond H anti-correlation, and hysteretic annealing are explained. In the second part we focus on large metastable structural changes observed in a-Si:H. We find H atoms have a local metastability involving the flipping of the H to the backside of the Si–H bond that results in a local increase of strain and increase of dipole moments. This naturally explains the larger infrared absorption found after light soaking, and may be related to other large structural changes in the network. Directions for future research are surveyed.

Exciton Bose–Einstein condensation is expected to occur at a few degrees Kelvin—a temperature many orders of magnitude higher than for atoms. Experimentally, an exciton temperature well below 1 K is achieved in coupled quantum well (CQW) semiconductor nanostructures. In this contribution, we review briefly experiments that signal exciton condensation in CQWs: a strong enhancement of the indirect exciton mobility consistent with the onset of exciton superfluidity, a strong enhancement of the radiative decay rate of the indirect excitons consistent with exciton condensate superradiance, strong fluctuations of the indirect exciton emission consistent with critical fluctuations near the phase transition, and a strong enhancement of the exciton scattering rate with increasing concentration of the indirect excitons revealing bosonic stimulation of exciton scattering. Novel experiments with exciton condensation in potential traps, pattern formation in exciton system and macroscopically ordered exciton state will also be reviewed briefly.

Detailed X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of LSF–YSZ reaction mixtures indicates no strontium or lanthanum zirconate formation between these materials even at 1400 °C. However, a significant shift in the LSF diffraction peaks is readily apparent and corresponds to a unit cell volume expansion. The most likely scenario for the change in volume is considered to be the incorporation of Zr4+ cations in the perovskite structure. The presence of the Zr cations subsequently results in reduced electrical conductivity of the cathode, potentially explaining the need for the aforementioned ceria interlayer.

This technique has allowed significant advances in areas such as observation and quantification of injected particle drift as a function of energy, observation of dynamics in the tail that are directly related to the effects of imposed (growth phase) and induced (expansion phase) electric fields on the plasma, the prompt extraction of oxygen from the ionosphere during substorms, the relationship between storms and substorms, and the timing of sub storm ENA signatures. We present discussion of the advantages and shortcomings of the ENA technique for studying space plasmas. Although the technique is in its infancy, it is yielding results that enrich our understanding of the sub storm process and its effects.

The crystal structure of KPHMT from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was determined by the single anomalous substitution (SAS) method at 2.8 A˚ resolution. KPHMT adopts a structure that is a variation on the (β/α) barrel fold, with a metal binding site proximal to the presumed catalytic site. The protein forms a decameric complex, with subunits in opposing pentameric rings held together by a swapping of their C-terminal α helices. The structure reveals KPHMT's membership in a small, recently discovered group of (β/α) barrel enzymes that employ domain swapping to form a variety of oligomeric assemblies. The apparent conservation of certain detailed structural characteristics suggests that KPHMT is distantly related by divergent evolution to enzymes in unrelated pathways, including isocitrate lyase and phosphoenolpyruvate mutase.

The substrates are high-symmetry surfaces of either icosahedral or decagonal quasicrystals or of related periodic crystals called approximants. At low coverage, completely different film morphologies are observed depending on the surface free energy of the substrate (relative to Ag). At high coverage, the formation of hexagonal nanocrystals is observed in all cases. These have fcc symmetry and pyramid-like multilayer stacking along the 〈1 1 1〉 direction. The constituent hexagonal islands have one, two or five different orientations depending on the rotational symmetry of the substrate on which the growth occurred. The films can be artificially smoothened by O2 induced coarsening, leading to a patchwork of Ag nanocrystals with a perfect texture, which are separated by grain boundaries.

Previous TPD and XPS results have indicated that in the absence of D2O, CCl4 dissociatively adsorbs on Fe3O4(1 1 1) producing chemisorbed Cl and CCl2. Subsequent heating of the surface results in abstraction of lattice iron and oxygen atoms and causes them to desorb as FeCl2 and OCCl2, respectively. This study shows that when this Fe3O4 surface is exposed only to D2O, TPD measures a rich surface chemistry with multiple desorption events extending as high as ∼800 K, indicating dissociative adsorption of D2O on the Fe3O4(1 1 1) surface. After sequential exposure to D2O and then CCl4, the production of FeCl2 and OCCl2 from adsorbed CCl4 is suppressed, indicating that D2O fragments block the surface reactive sites.

On each surface, the favored adsorption site is determined by considering multiple possible adsorption sites. Adsorption energies and structural properties are compared with experimental results on the (1 1 0) and (1 1 1) surfaces. In both cases, good agreement with experimental data is found. At surface coverages where adsorbate–adsorbate interactions are relatively weak, the adsorption energy of CO is very similar on the four Ni surfaces. We show that CO bonding on each of these four Ni surfaces is quite similar, with the main contributions arising from the 5σ and the 2π molecular orbitals of CO. The implications of our results for understanding the structure sensitivity of CO dissociation on Ni are discussed.

T1 - Dilatational and distortional behavior of cracks in magnetoelectroelastic materials JO - Theoretical & Applied Fracture Mechanics JF - Theoretical & Applied Fracture Mechanics Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 40 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 01678442 AB - Dilatation and distortion are the two basic modes of deformation in continuum mechanics. They occur at different time and position depending on the size scale under consideration. At the macroscopic scale, dilatational waves are said to arrive prior to distortional waves at a given location. Macro-plastic deformation caused by distortion off to the side of a macro-crack precedes that of macro-fracture caused by dilatation ahead of a macro-crack. Micro-plasticity and micro-cracking can introduce non-linearity to the macroscopic material behavior. Such effects can be modeled directly as geometric defects (dislocations and/or micro-cracks) or indirectly by introducing effective material coefficients in the constitutive relations.Material anisotropy and/or inhomogeneity, however, do not separate hydrostatic tension (or compression) state of stress from that of shear on the octahedral planes. The latter is the basis of the von-Mises yield criterion. Stated in terms of the strain energy density function, linear separation into one part for dilatation and another for distortion can be made only if the material is linearly isotropic and homogeneous. Recent trends of miniaturization of electronic components requires a better knowledge of how the micro-structure would affect the material response due to mechanical stress as well as other sources of disturbances. Continuum mechanics results need to be interpreted over a wider range of time and size scales, and a better understanding of their limitations need to be achieved.In what follows, the stationary values of the strain energy density function dW/dV will be shown to yield an interpretation of the local dilatational and distortional behavior of anisotropic (or non-homogeneous) materials with or without cracks. This quantity is not only attractive from the view point of mathematics and mechanics because it is positive definite, it also makes physical sense for non-linear materials where the quotient dW/dV could still be used to separate dilatation from distortion. Application of the minimum local energy density function should be distinguished from the global energy minimization method used in molecular dynamics which is applied to determine the equilibrium configuration of atoms.The response of a line crack in a magnetoelectroelastic (MEE) material will be used for discussion in order to illustrate the character of multi-scaling. Expressed differently is that the time and size scales for the transfer of magnetic, electric and elastic energies may not be the same. An arbitrary limiting process that assumes vanishing crack segments created by all forms of energy may not be justified at the local scale levels. What has been assumed at the global scale for isotropic and homogeneous situations may not be valid at the local scale levels where anisotropy and non-homogeneity are the rule rather then the exception.Numerical results are obtained for the composite BaTiO3–CoFe2O4. They show how magnetic and electric poling normal to a line crack could greatly affect the interplay between volume change and shape change of the local continuum elements at both the macroscopic and microscopic scale level. The micro-energy-density function is found to be three orders of magnitude higher than that at the macroscopic scale. The volume fraction of the inclusions made of BaTiO3 also comes into play for both Mode I and II mechanical loading. Potential micro-crack bifurcation is predicted in a region very close to the crack tip while macro-crack initiation occurs in a straight line for the MEE material. The information is relevant for developing macro- and micro-crack models where quantities and situations of secondary importance can be weeded out.

Standard protocols, such as immunoprecipitation, western blotting and immunofluorescence, can be used with antibody fragments generated by display technologies. Together with novel approaches, such as antibody chips and intracellular immunization, these methods will yield useful proteomic data following adaptation of the protocols for increased reliability and robustness. To date, most work has focused on the use of standard, well-characterized commercial antibodies. Such protocols need to be adapted for broader use, for example, with antibody fragments or other binders generated by display technologies, because it is unlikely that traditional approaches will provide the required throughput.

Field observations of rock fractures have shown that a fracture in the field can be rather more complex. Recent studies indicate that a complex fracture can be characterized as a thin fracture zone having several interconnected subfractures, which can contain mechanically dislodged and chemically altered materials with an enhanced porosity. This paper proposes a particle-tracking approach to calculate solute transport in a complex fracture, with structures in the fracture thickness normal to the fracture plane. These structures include subfractures, dead-end pores, gouge materials, small matrix blocks, and the adjacent rock matrix, all providing material in which solute diffusion and sorption can occur. The method is described; an example is provided to show its feasibility and the reasonableness of its parameter dependence; and, finally, direction for its further development is discussed.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 39 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Whereas a number of unsaturated zone modeling studies have been conducted on dual-porosity systems where the matrix has low permeability, few have been conducted on systems where the matrix has relatively high permeability. In humid climates, in situ weathering of bedrock can form saprolite. Saprolite usually has high matrix porosity (and variable permeability) that is a reservoir for solute storage and can have relict fractures that transport solute rapidly. On the basis of a field investigation where natural chemical tracers were monitored at high resolution during storm events, a numerical model was created that simulated variably saturated transport in the saprolite. A series of simulations were performed to explore solute transport during cycles of wetting and drying. Modeling results indicated that the advective flux of solutes from the fractures into the matrix during wetting was greater than from the matrix back into the fractures during drying, resulting in a net storage of solutes in the matrix. We hypothesize that the amount of net solute storage in the matrix may increase as the frequency of wetting/drying cycles increases, up to an optimum frequency. At frequencies higher than the optimum, the amount of solute storage in the matrix may decrease because the system behaves more like a fully saturated system where diffusion is the dominant transport process between fractures and matrix. These conclusions have significant implications for such processes as remedial strategies for contaminants in the unsaturated zone, the application of fertilizers, and quantification of mineral weathering and dissolution rates.

JO - Wind Energy JF - Wind Energy Y1 - 2003/07//Jul-Sep2003 VL - 6 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 245 EP - 259 SN - 10954244 AB - Wind turbine blades continue to be the target of technological improvements by the use of better designs, materials, manufacturing, analysis and testing. As the size of turbines has grown over the past decade, designers have restrained the associated growth in blade weight to less than would have been possible through simple scaling-up of past approaches. These past improvements are briefly summarized. Manufacturing trends and design drivers are presented, as are the ways these design drivers have changed. Issues related to blade material choices are described, first for the currently dominant glass fibre technology and then for the potential use of carbon fibres. Some possible directions for future blade design options are presented, namely new planforms, aerofoils and aeroelastic tailoring. The significant improvement in sophistication of stress analysis and full-scale blade testing are also discussed. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Comparison with an analogous violaxanthin−chlorophyll dimer is made, and possible quenching mechanisms via excitation energy transfer or electron transfer are discussed. It is pointed out that the strongly allowed absorption of the zeaxanthin radical cation present in the CT state can be experimentally used as signature of the zea−chl dimer during the NPQ process.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/07/08/ VL - 107 IS - 27 M3 - Article SP - 6544 EP - 6551 SN - 15206106 AB - The synthesis of a nanocomposite material composed of anionic poly(phenylene ethynylene) (aPPE) polymer particles and ZnS/Mn2+ nanoparticles is described, and its luminescence properties are investigated. aPPE particles have two emissions, one in the blue (460 nm) and the other in the green (490 nm), that are assigned to the 0−0 transition and an excimer, respectively. ZnS/Mn2+ nanoparticles have an emission at 596 nm that is due to the 4T1−6A1 transition of Mn2+ and an emission at 706 nm that is ascribed to defect-related luminescence. The blue, green, yellow, and red emissions make the composite a potential material for full-color displays. More interestingly, the relative intensities of the different emissions may be varied by changing the excitation energy. Infrared spectra reveal that interactions exist between the two particles; however, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra as well as observations of luminescence lifetimes indicate that there is negligible energy transfer from the polymer particles to the ZnS/Mn2+ nanoparticles. Temperature studies reveal that the ZnS/Mn2+ particles in the nanocomposite have a significantly reduced thermal quenching energy relative to that of bare ZnS/Mn2+ nanoparticles. In addition, between room temperature and 90 °C, the luminescence of the ZnS/Mn2+ nanoparticles at 596 nm increases in intensity with increasing temperature. This surprising phenomenon is attributed to thermoluminescence and thermal curing of the particle surface upon heating.

This choice of system is motivated by its relevance to protein crystal growth. The comparison of the Dij coefficients of the quaternary system and the Dij coefficients from the corresponding ternary and binary systems enables us to extract some information about the hydrodynamics and thermodynamics in solutions where protein crystals grow.

Treating the strange quark mass as order ΛQCD, we find that strange quark mass terms are suppressed in SCETI, but are leading order in SCETII. This is relevant for B decays to K* and K. Strange quark mass effects in semileptonic and weak radiative form factors are studied. They give corrections to the form factors that are not suppressed by powers of the bottom quark mass, or, equivalently, by the large recoil energy of the final state meson, and preserve the heavy to light form factor relations that follow from using the leading order current.

The adsorption of Ru3(CO)12 is molecular at 90 K. Heating the surface covered with Ru3(CO)12 leads to the desorption of CO over a wide range of temperatures, which implies the gradual decomposition of the carbonyl molecules. The decarbonylation is complete at around 500 K, leaving metallic Ru on the surface. Carbonyl molecules are partially decomposed after adsorption at room temperature, forming islands of nanosized clusters preferentially located at the elbow sites of the Au(1 1 1) herringbone reconstruction. The remaining CO molecules desorb upon surface heat treatment, which promotes the mobility of the nascent metallic Ru nanoclusters and results in the non-coalescing aggregation of the nanoclusters. A recommended preparation of Ru nanoclusters is to deposit Ru3(CO)12 on gold at a substrate temperature of 500 K. This allows a fine control of Ru nanocluster coverages and lower level of carbon contamination in the deposited layer.

We first give a brief overview of the standard approximations and simulation methods adopted by time-dependent (i.e. polychromatic) codes such as ginger (LBNL Report No. LBNL-49625, 2002), genesis (Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 429 (1999) 243), and fast3d (Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 429 (1999) 233), including the effects of temporal discretization and the resultant limited spectral bandpass, and then discuss the accuracies and inaccuracies of these codes in predicting incoherent spontaneous emission (i.e. the extremely low gain regime).

We consider the case of an FEL amplifier reaching saturation whose shot-to-shot fluctuations in input radiation power follow a gamma distribution. We analyze the corresponding output power fluctuations at and beyond saturation, including beam energy spread effects, and find that there are well-characterized values of undulator length for which the fluctuations reach a minimum.

Although a high average power, cw FEL amplifier has not been demonstrated, many key physics issues such as electron beam brightness requirements, single-pass gain, saturation, etc. have been resolved. In this paper, we study the feasibility of a high-power FEL based on the high-gain, tapered-wiggler amplifier. We show that with suitable electron beam parameters, a peak output power of 1 GW and a micropulse energy of 8 mJ can be achieved. We also outline a possible configuration of a high-power, high-gain FEL amplifier with energy recovery.

It is a 3.42-m-long planar permanent magnet hybrid device with a fixed gap near 6.35 mm. The magnetic structure was assembled from a set of 500 magnets that were purchased from Shin-Etsu. A subset of the magnets was measured in a Helmholtz coil system to check the accuracy of the vendor''s measurements of the magnetic moments. A specially designed half-period fixture was used for Hall probe measurements of the magnetic field of all the magnet blocks. The magnets were sorted based on the vendor''s data of the total magnetic moment and our measurements of the field integrals. The trajectory calculated from Hall probe measurements of the assembled device was within the specified tolerance (deviation <2 μm in both planes) but showed a trajectory offset and kick at the entrance. A small number of shims was applied to minimize the trajectory offset and kick and to increase the amplitude of the spontaneous radiation. The measured maximum gap taper at the ends of the device and the temperature dependence of the effective magnetic field are also reported. The tuned device met all specified tolerances.

As part of the upgrade, a new optical cavity is being constructed. Using a near-concentric configuration, it will provide high average power (∼10 kW) output using one of three sets of dielectrically coated mirrors. A fourth mirror set will provide broadband tuning throughout the mid-IR, but at a lower average power of ∼1 kW. The new optical cavity offers unique features such as in vacuo active stabilization of the mirror orientation and deformable high-reflector mirrors. The status of the construction of the optical cavity and a review of its capabilities will be presented.

The experimental COTR observations include the z-dependent e-beam sizes, the z-dependent angular distributions, and the z-dependent spectra (which show an x-dependence). A 30–40% narrowing of the observed beam size using COTR is explainable by the mechanism''s dependence on the square of the number of microbunched particles. However, additional effects are needed to explain beam size reductions by factors of 2–3 at different z locations. Localized e-beam structure in the gun or induced in the bunch compression process may result in microbunching transverse dependence, and hence the observed COTR effects.

The interim period has seen a dramatic increase in the number of photoinjectors in operation around the world, in our physical understanding of their operation, and, consequently, the brightness of their beams. For some time now, photoinjectors have been the solution of choice for electron beam applications requiring very high-quality electron beams, such as free-electron lasers (FELs). In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in high-average-power FELs and, as a result, high-average-current photoinjectors. Here, we present an overview of photoinjector development with particular emphasis on high-average-current devices in FEL applications.

Computer simulation of ultra-short (10–100 fs, rms) kilo-ampere electron bunch production from a photocathode injector are presented in this report. The electron beam is produced by an 8 ps (FWHM) laser from a photocathode RF gun injector operating at the longitudinal emittance compensation mode. The electron beam is compressed continuously in the RF gun, drift space followed the RF gun and energy boost linac operating at 70° off-crest. Simulation shows that, 10 fs (rms) kilo-ampere electron beam can be produce at about 40 MeV with transverse emittance less than 1 mm-mrad.

The iterative solutions of the integral equation for the instability provide approximate expressions of CSR microbunching due to initial density and energy modulation, and can be applied to a series of bending systems consisting of multiple compressor chicanes and transport lines. Two similar but independent simulation methods are developed and are compared to each other as well as with theory. We determine the total gain in density modulation for all bend systems of the Linac Coherent Light Source and discuss initial conditions that start the unstable process.

Many of these applications, such as single-pass free-electron lasers, require beams with high brilliance but not necessarily high charge per bunch. Field-enhanced photoelectric emission has demonstrated electron-beam current density as high as 1010 A/m2, with a quantum efficiency in the UV that approaches 10% at fields on the order of 1010 V/m. Thus, the use of even a blunt needle holds promise for increasing cathode quantum efficiency without sacrificing robustness. We present an initial study on the use of needle cathodes in photoinjectors to enhance beam brightness while reducing beam charge. Benefits include lower drive-laser power requirements, easier multibunch operation, lower emittance, and lower beam degradation due to charge-dependent effects in the postinjector accelerator. These benefits result from a combination of a smaller cathode emission area, greatly enhanced RF field strength at the cathode, and the charge scaling of detrimental postinjector linac effects, e.g., transverse wakefields and CSR.

High brightness in the RF photocathode gun occurs when the time-sliced emittance is nearly the same as the cathode thermal emittance and when the slices are all lined up, i.e., their Twiss parameters are nearly identical. In collaboration with the BNL Source Development Lab (SDL), we have begun a systematic study of the slice emittance at GTF. The technique involves giving the bunch a near linear energy chirp using the booster linac and dispersing it with a magnetic spectrometer. Combined with knowledge of the longitudinal phase space, this establishes the energy–time correlation on the spectrometer screen. The slice emittances are determined by varying the strengths of the quadrupoles in front of the spectrometer. Spectrometer images for a range of quadrupole settings are then binned into small energy/time windows and analysed for the slice emittance and Twiss parameters. Results for various gun parameters are presented.

The longitudinal emittance has been determined by measuring the energy spectrum after the linac as a function of the linac phase. The phase-space parameters defining the beam pulse width, correlated energy spread, and slice energy spread at the linac entrance (∼5 MeV beam energy) are fit to the measured energy spectra. A large, linear energy–time correlation is observed for bunch charges from 15 to 300 pC. Preliminary Parmela calculations show this correlation results from the strong longitudinal space charge forces in this short 2-ps long bunch.

Advances in injector technology are needed to operate at shorter wavelengths, such as X-rays, or higher average powers. This can be achieved using multiple injectors and combining the beams. Initial simulations of this concept have been applied to the proposed design of the 1.5 A˚ Linac Coherent Light Source. Further studies will be conducted on the limitations of the effects of space-charge and coherent synchrotron radiation on the physics of combining beams.

The goal of the project is to produce coherent radiation below 100 nm wavelength using High-Gain Harmonic Generation utilizing a seed laser. As a first step of this experiment, self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) has been achieved at 400 and 266 nm with electron beam energies at 140 and 171.7 MeV. As an intermediate stage of the experiment, direct seeding with the 266 nm laser also has been accomplished. We report the measurements of the SASE and direct seeding.

One proposal centers around using the existing linac at 1.0 GeV energy with a new photocathode and bunch compression to achieve an output beam at 600 A current, 2–4 mm mrad normalized emittance and 0.05% instantaneous energy spread. To achieve output radiation in the 10–40-nm-wavelength region, we consider a multi-stage device which is initiated by a coherent seed laser operating at 200 nm. We present numerical simulations of various undulator/optical-klystron configurations, seeking to optimize the overall output power level while minimizing the total length of undulator sections needed. Our results suggest that multi-MW instantaneous powers are possible at 10-nm wavelengths.

A gain length shorter than 18 cm has been obtained, yielding the gain of 2×108 at saturation. The FEL performance, including spectral, angular, and statistical properties of SASE radiation, has been characterized for different electron beam conditions. The results are compared to 3-D SASE FEL theory and start-to-end numerical simulations of the entire injector, transport, and FEL system. Detailed agreement between simulations and experimental results is obtained over the wide range of the electron beam parameters.

The gain lengths, spectra and energies of NHG were experimentally measured up to the third harmonic, and agree with theoretical predictions. Electron beam microbunching in both the fundamental and the second harmonic as the function of the SASE output were experimentally observed over the full range of SASE gain. The bunching factors for both the fundamental (b1) and second harmonic (b2) were experimentally characterized at saturation. The microbunching data provides another test of SASE saturation as well as correlating the NHG and electron beam microbunching modes to the fundamental SASE.

The unprecedented brightness and associated fluence (up to 30 J cm−2) predicted for pulses <300 fs pose new challenges for optical components. A criterion for optical component design is required, implying an understanding of X-ray—material interactions at these extreme conditions. In our experimental effort, the extreme conditions are simulated by the currently available sources ranging from optical lasers, through X-ray lasers (XRLs) at 14.7 nm down to K-alpha sources (∼0.15 nm). In this paper, we present an overview of our research project on X-ray—matter interaction, including both computer modeling and preliminary results from optical laser experiments, the COMET tabletop high brightness ps XRL and a K-alpha experimental campaign carried out at the JanUSP laser facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

It is possible that ripples (prebunching) on the electron bunch distribution may seed this instability. We report on research exploring this effect using a longitudinally modulated drive laser to generate a modulated electron beam. Our first step is to develop simulations that will help us study the beam generation process using PARMELA. Preliminary experiments on laser beam and electron beam modulation, conducted at the Source Development Laboratory at the National Synchrotron Light Source, show modulation at frequencies in the terahertz regime is attainable. Longitudinal prebunching may enhance the performance of FEL or other radiative devices in the terahertz regime. Alternatively, longitudinal control over the electron beam might be an effective method of suppressing coherent synchrotron radiation instabilities that cause beam break-up.

Most sources of short pulse THz radiation utilize excitation of biased semiconductors or electro-optic crystals by high peak power lasers. For example, this was done by using an un-doped InAs wafer irradiated by a femtosecond free-electron laser (FEL) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Microwatt levels of THz radiation were detected when excited with FEL pulses at 1.06 μm wavelength and 10 W average power. Recently substantially higher powers of femtosecond THz pulses produced by synchrotron emission were extracted from the electron beamline. Calculations and measurements confirm the production of coherent broadband THz radiation from relativistic electrons with an average power of nearly 20 W, a world record in this wavelength range by a factor of 10,000. We describe the source, presenting theoretical calculations and their experimental verification. Potential applications of this exciting new source include driving new non-linear phenomena, performing pump-probe studies of dynamical properties of novel materials, and studying molecular vibrations and rotations, low frequency protein motions, phonons, superconductor bandgaps, electronic scattering, collective electronic excitations (e.g., charge density waves), and spintronics.

These data were then fitted to the Langmuir, the Bilangmuir, the Toth, and the Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm models. The single component data fitted well to both the Bilangmuir and the Toth models. Combined with the lumped pore diffusion model (POR) of chromatography, these isotherms were used to calculate overloaded elution profiles of the pure enantiomers. The calculated and the experimental profiles agree excellently in all cases if the former are derived from the Bilangmuir model. The competitive experimental data also gave excellent agreement with the Bilangmuir model. The simultaneous fit of all the data, for the single components and the racemic mixture, gave again superior agreement with the bilangmuir model. The overloaded elution profiles of samples of the racemic mixture calculated with the Bilangmuir isotherm model combined with the POR model of chromatography gave results in very good agreement with the experimental band profiles of large samples of the racemic mixture. This confirms that in numerous cases the whole set of competitive isotherms of two enantiomers can be derived from the experimental data obtained only with the racemic mixture.

Eng. Asp. Y1 - 2003/07/15/ VL - 221 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 69 SN - 09277757 AB - As aqueous surfactant cleaning becomes increasingly prevalent in industry, an understanding behind surfactant cleaning behavior is needed to improve the systems. Improvements in these aqueous surfactant solution systems can reduce the impact of the industrial cleaning systems on the environment and improve their efficiency. Studying various parameters of the cleaning systems can provide useful insight into surfactant behavior. The contact angle of the soil to the solid surface is strongly related to cleaning system performance and is a relatively simple parameter to measure. For this study, a simplified cleaning system was studied to investigate the effects of modifications to the surfactant system. The contact angle of hexadecane on a gold-coated glass surface in aqueous surfactant solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were determined up to and above the critical micelle concentrations. The effects of modifying the ionic strength of the aqueous surfactant solution by the addition of sodium chloride (NaCl) have been studied. Similar trends in contact angle behavior of the oil droplet to the gold-coated surface were found for both the anionic (SDS) and cationic (CTAB) surfactant systems. The addition of NaCl to the aqueous surfactant systems resulted in a significant increase in the contact angles over the surfactants concentration ranges. The increasing trend in the contact angles was observed for NaCl concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.5 mM, while little effect was noted for the higher NaCl concentrations. The observed effect is consistent with literature on electrostatic-charge-induced changes in surfactant adsorption at the solid surface.

Here a novel approach for constructing soil transport algorithms for multimedia fate models is developed and evaluated. The resulting algorithms account for diffusion in gas and liquid components; advection in gas, liquid, or solid phases; and multiple transformation processes. They also provide an explicit quantification of the characteristic soil penetration depth. We construct a compartment model using three and four soil layers to replicate with high reliability the flux and mass distribution obtained from the exact analytical solution describing the transient dispersion, advection, and transformation of chemicals in soil layers with different properties but a fixed boundary condition at the air-soil surface. The soil compartment algorithms can be dynamically linked to other compartments (air, vegetation, groundwater, surface water)in multimedia fate models. We demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the algorithms in a model with applications to benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, MTBE, TCDD, and tritium.

The tracer tests were conducted before and after a controlled infiltration event to evaluate performance at two water contents. Nonpartitioning (sulfur hexafluoride) and waterpartitioning (difluoromethane) tracers were injected into the test zone, and their effluent breakthrough curves were analyzed using the method of moments to calculate retardation factors for difluoromethane. Soil-water contents estimated using the tracer data were compared to soilwater contents obtained independently using gravimetric core analysis, neutron scattering, and bore-hole ground penetrating radar. For the test conducted under drier soil conditions, the soil-water content estimated from the tracer test was identical to the independently measured values of 8.6% (equivalent to water saturation of 23%). For the test conducted under wetter soil conditions, the tracer test derived soil-water content was 81% of the independently measured values of 12.2% (equivalent to water saturation of 32%). The reduced efficacy at the higher soil-water content may reflect the impact of advective and/ or diffusive mass transfer constraints on gas-phase transport. The results presented herein indicate that the partitioning tracer method is an effective technique to measure soil-water content at the field scale, especially for sites with moderate to low soil-water contents.

The incident beam energy is 920 GeV, corresponding to √s = 41.6 GeV in the proton-nucleon system. The ratios of differential cross sections dσpA(KS0)/dσpA(Λ) and dσpA(Λ)/dσpA(Λ) are measured to be 6.2 ± 0.5 and 0.66 ± 0.07, respectively, for xF ≈ -0.06. No significant dependence upon the target material is observed. Within errors, the slopes of the transverse momentum distributions dσpA/dpt² also show no significant dependence upon the target material. The dependence of the extrapolated total cross sections σpA on the atomic mass A of the target material is discussed, and the deduced cross sections per nucleon σpN are compared with results obtained at other energies.

We evaluated lung damage by ionizing radiation using plasma levels of MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and MMP-3 as biologic markers of tissue damage, and also their relationship to changes in pulmonary epithelial permeability, clinical signs and symptoms, and lung structural changes.: Methods and materialsSeven serial studies were conducted in each of 8 patients undergoing chest radiotherapy (RT) for lung or breast cancer, beginning before the first treatment (baseline) and then biweekly to ∼100 days during and after RT. Chest radiographs were monitored for each patient. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISA) were used to measure plasma MMP-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels. Lung permeability was evaluated by measuring the rate of epithelial clearance of ∼150 μCi (∼5.6 MBq) inhaled 99mTc diethylenetriamine pentaacetate aerosol (DTPA).: ResultsLung and breast cancer resulted in very high plasma levels of MMP-9 (126–893 ng/mL) and TIMP-1 (496–8,985 ng/mL) in all subjects studied before initiation of RT. This compares with plasma MMP-9 and TIMP-1 values in healthy volunteers of 29 ± 11 ng/mL and 436 ± 86 ng/mL, respectively. RT was followed by a sharp decrease in plasma MMP-9 within the first 2 weeks, but without a corresponding change in TIMP-1. In contrast, plasma MMP-3 levels, which are generally increased with inflammation, were elevated in only 1 of 5 subjects.: ConclusionLung and breast cancer are associated with high plasma levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1. These high baseline plasma levels of MMP-9 were reduced in the first 2 weeks of RT in 7 of 8 subjects, and TIMP-1 plasma levels remained high in all subjects. The decrease in plasma MMP-9 after initiation of chest RT appears to reflect a suppressive effect on cancer-induced cellular responses rather than a primary role for MMP-9 in radiation-induced lung damage. Likewise, the lack of a rise in plasma MMP-3 levels does not support a role for MMP-3 in tissue injury or repair in the lung. It remains to be determined whether plasma MMP-9 measurements will serve as a useful parameter in predicting cancer relapse.

The properties of boron carbide films prepared by cathodic arc using a heated B4C cathode are investigated. The B:C ratio in the film was about 3, and the only detected impurity was oxygen with a content below 5%. The effect of substrate bias on the film characteristics was studied. A direct correlation between hardness and elastic modulus and bias voltage applied to the substrate was observed for bias voltages in the interval of 0–500 V. Microstructure and chemistry of the films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

The yield surfaces are determined by an extrapolation using a regularized constitutive model. Two spheres falling in a line interact at separations greater than that corresponding to the superposition of yield surfaces for isolated spheres falling in an unbounded medium. Three distinct regimes are identified: for L/R>5.5, the spheres move in separate yield envelopes; for 4, the spheres fall in a single coalesced envelope in which at least part of the region between the spheres is yielded; for L/R<4 the spheres fall in a coalesced envelope and are connected by an unyielded plug. Drag reduction of up to 30% relative to the single-sphere case is observed as the sphere separation is decreased. The yield surfaces for two approaching spheres show a shorter range of interaction compared to the case of two falling spheres; a very slight drag reduction relative to the single-sphere case is observed for two approaching spheres.

The current status of basic electron-transfer research, both theoretical and experimental, is addressed, with emphasis on the distance-dependent measurements, and we have attempted to integrate terminology and notation of solution electron-transfer kinetics with that of conductance analysis. The interface between molecules or nanoparticles and bulk metals is examined, and new research tools that advance description and understanding of the interface are presented. The present state-of-the-art in molecular electronics efforts is summarized along with future research needs. Finally, novel strategies that exploit nanoscale architectures are presented for enhancing the efficiences of energy conversion based on photochemistry, catalysis, and electrocatalysis principles.

To this end, different kinds of distortions are applied to the otherwise perfect square lattice and the corresponding radial distribution function and structure factor for the resulting lattices are calculated. When the applied distortions have a periodic character, they are very easily recognized in the calculated structure factors as new superlattice peaks. However, when the periodicity of the distortions is suppressed, the signatures of disorder only show up as smooth and subtle features on the diffuse part of the scattering, making it very difficult to identify the nature of the distortions present in the lattice. The implications of these results are discussed.

Inclusion of the many-body polarization in the model resulted in increased populations of the tgt and tgg conformations of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and slightly slower dynamics. Increasing the PEO dipole moment also led to increased populations of the tgt and ttg conformers and slower dynamics. Quasi-elastic neutron scattering, dielectric relaxation, and 13C spin−lattice relaxation experiments have been performed on PEO and its oligomers. New 13C NMR experiments yielded spin−lattice relaxation times that were ~2−3 times larger than those in the previous experiments, which is in good agreement with the current simulation results. Good agreement between the MD simulation results using many-body polarizable and two-body nonpolarizable potentials was found with experiments for thermodynamic, transport, structural, and dynamic properties.

To date, however, there is a lack of detailed accounts of the features observed in the scattered intensity map in the special case of time-of-flight (TOF) PNR. We present here preliminary measurement results on lithographically produced arrays of micron-sized rectangular permalloy magnetic bars. The measurements demonstrate the potential of the method to provide detailed structural information on a laterally patterned sample, as well as on its magnetic characteristics. The information can be obtained by analyzing the specular reflection along with three off-specular Bragg sheets. Most of the features seen experimentally can be interpreted by using simple heuristic arguments. In addition, we also present results of a study of lateral magnetic domains in an exchange-biased Co/CoO bilayer film to illustrate the capability of TOF PNR in the study of large lateral magnetic domains in the case when almost no off-specular scattering is detected.

Polarising cavities are highly efficient broad-wavelength band-polariser systems. Beam-splitter polarising cavities, for example, yield a practically ideal separation into one spin “up” and one spin “down” neutron beam, which can supply two different instruments. This later principle was already implemented at BENSC.Monte Carlo simulations were recently done to optimise polarising cavity systems and to search for possible new applications at ESS. Wavelength-dependent polarisation intensities were computed with ESS moderators.

The strength of the pinning was monitored by measurements of the saturation remanent magnetization (MR) as a detailed function of temperature from 4.2 K up to Tc (≈92 K). Our results show that MR is greatly enhanced by the Pb-ion irradiation at all temperatures below Tc. Specifically, when compared to a similar but nonirradiated sample, the MR of an optimally irradiated sample is raised by a factor of 3.4 at 4.2 K and, more strikingly, by 12.7 at 77 K. Contrastingly, in an earlier study of a γ-ray irradiated Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 sample, the vortex pinning was seen to be enhanced but mainly near 4.2 K, suggesting that the γ-ray irradiation produces highly localized pinning sites. Hence, our present results imply conversely that the Pb-ion irradiation creates extended structural defects that are effective as vortex pinning sites up to relatively high temperatures, including that of liquid nitrogen.

Theoretical developments over the past decade have led to viable models and mechanisms that are consistent with current experimental data. Many of these schemes feature a privileged role for the top quark, and third generation, and are natural in the context of theories of extra space dimensions at the weak scale. We review various models and their phenomenological implications which will be subject to definitive tests in future collider runs at the Tevatron, and the LHC, and future linear e+e− colliders, as well as sensitive studies of rare processes.

[Phys. Rev. Lett. 80 (1998) 2453]. The most dominant of these transitions manifest themselves as an extra series of EPR absorption peaks for spectra obtained with the DC field applied within the hard magnetic plane. Recent studies by Amigo´ et al. [Phys. Rev. B 65 (2002) 172403] have attributed these additional peaks to a strain-induced transverse quadratic anisotropy which gives rise to distinct Mn12–Ac site symmetries, each having a distinct EPR spectrum; on the basis of these measurements, it has been suggested that this transverse anisotropy is responsible for the tunneling in Mn12–Ac. Our temperature- and frequency-dependent measurements demonstrate unambiguously that these anomalous EPR absorptions vanish as the temperature tends to zero, thereby indicating that they correspond to transitions from an excited state of the molecule. We argue that this low-lying excited state corresponds to an S=9 multiplet having very similar zero-field crystal parameters to the S=10 state. These findings compare favorably with available neutron scattering data.

While NPD measurements showed no evidence of long-range magnetic ordering, the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and magnetization suggests that the system can be adequately described on the local scale as a spin-1/2 antiferromagnet (AFM) chain with an intrachain exchange interaction J/kB=−8 K (∼0.7 meV). Comparison of isothermal magnetization data acquired up to 30 T at 1.6 K to a linear chain model shows excellent agreement, making this material a nearly ideal example of an isotropic Heisenberg AFM chain.

The field dependence of 1/T1 can be fitted well by using a simple model in terms of the thermal fluctuations of the total spin S=10 of the cluster originating from the spin–phonon interactions. The absence of a difference of the magnetic field dependence of 1/T1 between the two systems indicates that the spin–phonon coupling constant is not affected by the change of mass of the isotopes in the Fe8 cluster.

In this article, we review some of our recent progress in experimental and simulation methods for generating, characterizing, and modeling polymer micro- and nano-particles in a number of polymer and polymer blend systems. By using instrumentation developed for probing single fluorescent molecules in micron-sized liquid droplets, we have shown that polymer particles of nearly arbitrary size and composition can be made with a size dispersion that is ultimately limited by the chain length and number distribution within the droplets. Depending on the time scale for solvent evaporation—a tunable parameter in our experiments—phase separation of otherwise immiscible polymers can be avoided by confinement effects, producing homogeneous polymer blend micro- or nano-particles. These particles have tunable properties that can be controlled simply by adjusting the size of the particle, or the relative mass fractions of the polymer components in solution. Physical, optical, and mechanical properties of a variety of micro and nano-particles, differing in size and composition, have been examined using extensive classical molecular dynamics calculations in conjunction with experiments to gain deeper insights into fundamental nature of their structure, dynamics, and properties.

JO - Water Science & Technology JF - Water Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/07/15/ VL - 48 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 299 EP - 305 SN - 02731223 AB - Monthly Maximum Discharge Limits (MMDL) have been established for selenium in irrigation drainage by the State of California and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency following observations of avian teratogenesis at the Kesterson Reservoir in the San Joaquin Valley of California. As a result of these and other adverse effects, farmers and drainage districts on the western side of the San Joaquin Valley must reduce selenium concentrations in irrigation drainage discharged to the San Joaquin River. Drainage treatment will be required in the near future to meet existing MMDL and future Total Maximum Discharge Limits (TMDL) for the San Joaquin River. A 0.4-hectare Algal Bacterial Selenium Removal (ABSR) Facility was designed and constructed at the Panoche Drainage District in 1995 and 1996 using the Advanced Integrated Wastewater Pond Systems® or AIWPS® Technology. Each of two physically identical systems combined a Reduction Pond (RP) with a shallow, peripheral algal High Rate Pond (HRP). A Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) unit and a slow sand filter were used to remove particulate selenium from the effluent of each system. The two systems were operated under different modes of operation and the bacterial substrate varied in each system. The rates of nitrate and selenium removal were compared. Microalgae were harvested using DAF and used as a carbon-rich substrate for nitrate- and selenate-reducing bacteria. Mass removals of total soluble selenium of 77% or greater were achieved over a three-year period. Nitrate and selenate were removed by assimiliatory and dissimiliatory bacterial reduction, and nitrate was also removed by algal assimilation. The final removal of particulate selenium is the focus of ongoing investigations. The removal of particulate selenium is expected to increase the overall removal of selenium to greater than 90% and would allow farmers and drainage districts to discharge irrigation drainage in compliance with regulatory discharge limits.

The pilot-scale AIWPS® Facility was comprised of an Advanced Facultative Pond (AFP), Secondary Facultative Pond (SFP) and Maturation Pond (MP) all arranged in series. Three feed phases with low, moderate and overloading organic loading rates were applied to assess the organics and nutrients removal performances of the AIWPS® reactors. The overall organics removal performance of the AIWPS® Process was high, with removal efficiencies in the range of 90-98% for BOD5 and 86-92% for COD. Among the AIWPS® reactors, the AFP attained the highest organics removal efficiency with a BOD5 removal of 70-89%. BOD5 removal efficiencies of the SFP and MP were 34-65% and 30-40%, respectively. The AFP was also able to withstand a much higher volumetric organic loading rate (70% more) than the conventional open anaerobic ponds. The drop in BOD5 removal efficiency of the AFP at the overloading condition was only 7%, while the corresponding drop in the SFP was 29%. AIWPS® reactors achieved a cumulative ammonia removal efficiency of 85%. The highest ammonia removal (50-60%) occurred in the SFP, followed by the MP with removal efficiency of 20-26%. At the overloading condition the overall ammonia removal efficiency of the AIWPS® Facility decreased by 50%, while the BOD5 organics removal dropped by only 6%, signifying the higher vulnerability of ammonia removal mechanism to high loading conditions than the organics removal. The phosphorus removal in the AIWPS® Facility was erratic, with highest removal (up to 75%) occurring in the AFP. The lack of H2S odour nuisance from the AFP was mainly due to the proliferation of sulphide oxidizing anoxygenic photosynthetic pink bacteria of the genera: Thiocystis, Rhodobacter, Rhodospirillum and Rhodopseudomonas in the upper solar illuminated water layers of the AFP.

These real-time observations were semi-quantified using diffraction peak profile analysis to construct a phase transformation map revealing ferrite (α) and austenite (γ) phase concentration gradients in the HAZ. Weld thermal cycles were calculated using a three-dimensional heat transfer and fluid flow model and then combined with the SRXRD phase map to provide a complete description of the HAZ under actual welding conditions. Kinetic modelling of the α→γ phase transformation during heating was performed using a Johnson–Mehl–Avrami analysis, modified to take into account non-uniform weld heating and transformation in the α+γ two-phase field. The results provide the most accurate JMA kinetic parameters to date for this alloy, n=1.45 and 1n(ko)=12.2, for an activation energy Q=117.1 kJ/mole. Using this kinetic description of the α→γ phase transformation, time temperature transformation (TTT) and continuous heating transformation (CHT) diagrams for this alloy were constructed to illustrate how the combination of SRXRD experiments and numerical modeling from one weld can be used to predict phase transformations for a variety of welding and heat treating applications.

The molecular structures of porphyrin 6 and of potassium nido-carborane were obtained and are described. The biodistribution of nido-carboranylporphyrins 7 and 8 in BALB/c mice bearing EMT-6 mammary tumors are presented and compared. Both compounds are effective tumor localizers and delivered therapeutic concentrations of boron to tumors (mean±standard deviation): 32.5±7.1 and 54.3±14 μg/g for 7 and 8, respectively, 2 days after the last of 3 injections of a total boron dose of 23 mg/kg body weight. The zinc(II) complex 8 was found to deliver 1.2–1.7 times higher amounts of boron to tumors than 7, with lower tumor-to-blood boron concentration ratios (9.8/1 and 4.7/1 for 7 and 8, respectively, 2 days after injections). The tumor-to-brain boron concentration ratios were >100/1 for both porphyrins 2 days after administration. Both nido-carboranylporphyrins 7 and 8 were well-tolerated at the concentrations used (75 and 78 mg/kg body weight, respectively) and no morbidity or mortality were observed in these studies.

Protons are selectively polarized and evolve under the frequency-switched Lee–Goldburg (FSLG) homonuclear decoupling, while two 15N π pulses are applied to restore 1H–15N dipolar interactions. Such a method relies on the 1H–15N dipolar couplings and requires no knowledge of their chemical shift tensors allowing one to precisely extract their couplings. This method could be applicable for measuring relatively long distances between amide protons and other nucleus such as 13C if applying the π pulses to 13C.

Small magic-angle offsets can change the satellite transition rotational resonance condition and consequently lead to dramatic effects on line width, spin-echo decay and inversion recovery. An half degree magic-angle offset lengthens α-Al2O3 spin-echo decay by 50% and inversion-recovery by nearly two orders of magnitude. The theory of satellite transition rotational resonance is presented and the origin of these magic-angle effects is explained.

The thickness and the water content of films of C15-4Py have been measured as a function of the potential applied to the electrode. At positive potentials, where condensed film is formed, the monolayer contains defects that are filled with water. At very negative potentials, the film is desorbed from the electrode surface. NR has demonstrated that, at these potentials, the amphiphilic molecules remain in close proximity to the gold surface as a thicker and water rich film.

Assuming an energy and integrated luminosity of √ of s=500 GeV and L=2000 fb-1 at a future linear collider (LC), we show that a very accurate determination of tanβ will be possible for low and high tanβ values by measuring the production rates of Higgs bosons and reconstructing Higgs boson decays. In particular, based on a TESLA simulation, and assuming no other light Higgs bosons and 100mA200 GeV, we find that the rate for the process e+e-→b&bmacr;A→b&bmacr;b&bmacr; provides a good determination of tanβ at high tanβ. In the MSSM Higgs sector, in the sample case of mA=200 GeV, we find that the rates for e+e-→b&bmacr;A+b&bmacr;H→b&bmacr;b&bmacr; and for e+e-→HA→b&bmacr;b&bmacr; provide a good determination of tanβ at high and low tanβ, respectively. We also show that the direct measurement of the average total widths of the H and A in e+e-→HA→b&bmacr;b&bmacr; events provides an excellent determination of tanβ at large values. In addition, the charged Higgs boson process e+e-→H+H-→t&bmacr;&tmacr;b has been studied. The sensitivity to tanβ at the LHC obtained directly from heavy Higgs boson production is briefly compared to the LC results.

A stronger enhancement in the forward rapidity region of the projectile is also predicted, resulting in a unique rapidity asymmetry of the hadron spectra at high pT. The shape of the rapidity asymmetry should be reversed for low pT hadrons that are dominated by soft and coherent interactions which suppress hadron spectra in the projectile rapidity region. The phenomenon at the LHC energies is shown to be qualitatively different because of parton shadowing.

We consider the possibility that such a variation could be induced by a second order phase transition which occurs at late times (z∼13) and involves a change in the vacuum expectation value (vev) of a scalar with milli-eV mass. Such light scalars are natural in supersymmetric theories with low SUSY breaking scale. If the vev of this scalar contributes to masses of electrically charged fields, the low-energy value of α changes during the phase transition. The observational predictions of this scenario include isotope-dependent deviations from Newtonian gravity at sub-millimeter distances, and (if the phase transition is a sharp event on cosmological time scales) the presence of a well-defined step-like feature in the α(z) plot. The relation between the fractional changes in α and the QCD confinement scale is highly model dependent, and even in grand unified theories the change in α does not need to be accompanied by a large shift in nucleon masses.

These 51 residue proteins, which adopt the helix-turn-helix homeodomain fold, share as few as 12 residues in common with their most closely related natural analog. Despite the replacement of up to 3/4 of their residues by a computer algorithm optimizing only thermodynamic properties, the designed proteins fold as fast or faster than the 35,000 s−1 observed for the closest natural analog. Thus these de novo designed proteins, which were produced in the complete absence of selective pressures or design constraints explicitly aimed at ensuring rapid folding, are among the most rapidly folding proteins reported to date.

Atmospheric models have been designed to take advantage of this disparity of time scales with numerical approaches such as the semi-implicit or split-explicit approach being used to efficiently step over the fast sound waves. Some of these numerical approaches are first order in time. To improve accuracy over these methods, a fully implicit and nonlinearly consistent (INC) flow solver has been developed for the Navier–Stokes equation set. In our INC method, the equation set is solved by use of the Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov (JFNK) method. An efficient preconditioner has been developed which uses the semi-implicit method to solve the governing equations. Being that this preconditioner was designed to attack the fastest waves in the system and not other features in the implicit system such as advection or turbulent diffusion, the preconditioning technique is labeled as a physics-based preconditioner. A variety of linear solvers including SSOR, Krylov methods and/or multigrid approaches are used to approximately invert the pressure matrix in the semi-implicit algorithm. A suite of simulations will be conducted utilizing different linear solvers for the simple problem of the bouyant rise of a warm bubble. The problem will also document the ability of the INC approach to achieve second order in time accuracy.

The most popular spatial discretization method used in global atmospheric models is currently the spectral transform method, which generates high-order numerical solutions and provides an elegant solution to the pole problems induced by a spherical coordinate system. However, the standard spherical harmonic spectral transform method requires associated Legendre transforms, which for problems with resolutions of current interest, have a computational complexity of O(N3), where N is the number of spatial subintervals in one dimension. Thus, the double Fourier spectral method, which uses trigonometric series, may be a viable alternative. The advantage of the double Fourier method is that fast Fourier transforms, which have a computational complexity of O(N2logN), can be used in both the longitudinal and latitudinal directions. In this implementation, the SWEs are discretized in time by means of the three-time-level semi-Lagrangian semi-implicit method, which integrates along fluid trajectories and allows large time steps while maintaining stability. Numerical results for the standard SWEs test suite are presented to demonstrate the stability and accuracy of the method.

We examine the efficiency and accuracy of the IMC and SIMC methods for test problems involving the evolution of a collisionally pumped trapping problem to its steady-state, the surface heating of a cold medium by a beam, and the diffusion of energy from a localized region that is collisionally pumped. The importance of spatial biasing and teleportation for problems involving high opacity is demonstrated. Our numerical solution, along with its associated teleportation error, is checked against theoretical calculations for the last example.

Organic materials are sealed in plastic or high-purity quartz and irradiated at the HFIR and MITR. The most volatile materials such as liquid scintillator (LS) are first preconcentrated by clean vacuum evaporation. Activities of interest are separated from side activities by acid digestion and ion exchange. The technique has been applied to study the liquid scintillator used in the KamLAND neutrino experiment. Detection limits of <2.4×10−15 g 40K/g LS, <5.5×10−15 g Th/g LS, and <8×10−15 g U/g LS have been achieved.

For MtR≈12, the natural value for the top and bottom squark masses are raised to 5001200 GeV, and all other superpartners may have masses of the compactification scale, which has a natural range of 1/R≃1.53.5 TeV. The superpartner masses depend only on 1/R, and are precisely correlated amongst themselves and with the mass of the Higgs boson, which is lighter than 130 GeV.

These pouch cells were cycled at different depths of discharge (100 and 70% DOD) at room temperature to investigate cycle performance and pulse power capability. The capacity loss and power fade of the cells cycled over 100% DOD was significantly faster than the cell cycled over 70% DOD. The overall cell impedance increased with cycling, although the ohmic resistance from the electrolyte was almost constant. From electrochemical analysis of each electrode after cycling, structural and/or impedance changes in the cathode are responsible for most of the capacity and power fade, not the consumption of cycleable Li from side-reactions.

Several recent papers have addressed the question of the energies and momenta of the components of these states, and their effect on the coherence of the states and on the wavelength of the oscillations. We point out that the mass eigenstates need have neither equal momentum nor equal energy, but can nevertheless be coherent, and that a correct treatment of the kinematics recovers the usual result for the wavelength of the flavor oscillations.

Bulk-sensitive techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy indicate that the acid is stable at temperatures as high as 300 °C or higher. However, our work suggests that, besides the surface dehydration, HPW starts loosing stability at temperatures as low as 200 °C. For instance, P 2p peak was not detected in the synchrotron radiation XPS spectrum of HPW preheated at 100 °C, but was clearly observed after preheating the acid at 200 and 400 °C. This suggests the destruction of the molecules of the surface leading to the apparent enrichment of surface with phosphorous. These results may explain why HPW deactivates very fast, e.g., 8 min at 200 °C, in hexane-cracking experiments. This could limit the use of HPW in surface reactions that even require moderate temperatures. Detailed infrared spectroscopic investigation of the HPW as a function of temperature showed a gradual increase in absorbance of the W&z.sbnd;O&z.sbnd;W corner-shared vibration relative to the absorbance of the other bands. This indicates that the symmetry, and hence the stability, of the molecule was decreased upon heating.

T1 - Heats of Formation of Alkali Metal and Alkaline Earth Metal Oxides and Hydroxides:  Surprisingly Demanding Targets for High-Level ab Initio Procedures. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/07/27/ VL - 107 IS - 29 M3 - Article SP - 5617 EP - 5630 SN - 10895639 AB - High-level ab initio calculations, including variants of the Wn and G3 procedures, have been used to determine the structures and heats of formation of the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides and hydroxides (M2O, MOH:  M = Li, Na, and K; MO, M(OH)2:  M = Be, Mg, and Ca). Our best structures were obtained at the CCSD(T)(riv,rv)/aug‘-cc-pWCVQZ level and are in uniformly close agreement with available experimental data, with a mean absolute deviation from experimental metal−oxygen bond lengths of just 0.007 Å.Structures obtained with CCSD(T)/cc-pWCVQZ, B3-LYP/cc-pVTZ, B3-LYP/6-31G(2df,p), and MP2(full)/6-311+G(3df,2p) are also in good agreement with experiment. Zero-point vibrational energies and enthalpy temperature corrections are found to be relatively insensitive to the various procedures employed. However, the heats of formation for these molecules are challenging targets for high-level ab initio procedures. In the Wn-type procedures, it is found that expanding the correlation space on the metal atoms from the normal relaxed valence (rv) (or frozen-core) specification to relaxed inner valence (riv) requires the use of newly developed core-valence basis sets (cc-pWCVnZ) in the extrapolation calculations to obtain reliable results. Our best calculated heats of formation (ΔHf 298) come from a procedure designated W2C//ACQ, while G3[CC](dir,full) is the best of the G3-type procedures. Recommended ΔHf 298 values, weighted toward the W2C//ACQ results, are −157 ± 5 (Li2O), −25 ± 5 (Na2O), −60 ± 5 (K2O), +130 ± 12 (BeO), +142 ± 10 (MgO), +26 ± 17 (CaO), −239 ± 5 (LiOH), −189 ± 5 (NaOH), −223 ± 5 (KOH), −632 ± 7 (Be(OH)2), −547 ± 5 (Mg(OH)2), and −604 ± 19 (Ca(OH)2) kJ mol-1.

The solvated electron was observed to have a very broad absorption band peaking around 1410 nm (ε = 2.2 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1) and a radiolytic yield (G) of 0.7 × 10-7 mol J-1. Dry electron capture by aromatic solutes, such as benzophenone and pyrene, is very efficient in R4NNTf2. Reactions of the solvated electron with the same compounds are diffusion limited, with rate constants of only k ≉ (1-2) × 108 L mol-1 s-1 due to the high viscosity of the ionic liquid.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/07/29/ VL - 107 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 7281 EP - 7287 SN - 15206106 AB - The results of an initial study of the pulse radiolysis of supercritical xenon are reported. In pure xenon, transients are formed that absorb broadly throughout the visible. These transients are assigned to excimer species, Xe2*, on the basis of lifetime and kinetic data. The formation of excimers by electron-ion recombination was time-resolved by pulse-probe measurements. The excimers can be quenched by adding small amounts of ethane, which then facilitates detection of other transients by absorption spectroscopy. The added ethane also accelerates the thermalization of electrons and allows measurements of fast reaction rates of thermal electrons. Electron attachment to hexafluorobenzene occurs near the maximum rate at high pressures in xenon-ethane mixtures. The C6F6- anion formed absorbs with a maximum at 500 nm and disappears by second-order kinetics. The mobility of this anion, as measured by conductivity, indicates sizable clusters of solvent around the ion at all pressures, which are of maximum size near critical density. The rate of electron transfer from C6F6- to benzoquinone exceeds 1 × 1011 m-1 s-1 at most pressures. The rate maximizes near 62 bar at 21.4 °C. A maximum at this pressure is predicted by diffusion. The maximum is related to the increase in cluster size around the anion, which occurs at this pressure.

The paradigm system for these investigations is a metal ion-assembled parallel three-helix bundle protein that contains a ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridyl) electron donor and a ruthenium(III) pentammine electron acceptor separated by a direct metal to metal distance of ca. 19 Å, requiring tunneling through 15 Å of α-helical peptide. The putative ET pathway was modulated by a synthetic strategy in which specific main chain amide moieties along an α-helix were replaced by ester linkages that cannot form equivalent H-bonds. A simple pathway analysis implies a role for such H-bonds in facilitating electron transfer. Within the accuracy of the computational predictions, specific H-bonded pathway models do not predict the differences in the measured ET rates between the parent construct and the different H-bond deletion variants.

Reaction of hydrated electrons with dopamine-capped TiO2 nanoparticles was found to be at the diffusion-controlled limit, k = 1 × 1011 M-1 s-1, while the reaction with 1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl radicals, (CH3)2ĊOH, was 2 orders of magnitude slower, k = 4 × 108 M-1 s-1. The reactions result in injection of electrons into the conduction band of TiO2 nanoparticles. Optical absorption spectra of injected excess electrons in dopamine-capped nanoparticles display monotonic featureless wavelength dependence up to 1800 nm. In contrast, bare particles have shown two preferential optical transitions with energies in the visible region (λmax = 670 nm and λmax = 900 nm). Flat band potential of dopamine-capped TiO2 nanoparticles was shifted by 100 mV to more negative values. The strong coupling of dopamine to surface Ti atoms was also found to improve the separation of photogenerated charges. This was demonstrated by the enhanced efficiency of photogenerated electrons in reducing silver cations to metallic silver in systems linked via a dopamine bridge, compared to the same systems linked through carboxyl groups.

Here, spatial variations in fluxes estimated with the parameterized subgrid-scale surface (PASS) flux model were compared to flux variations seen aboard aircraft above the Walnut River Watershed (WRW) in Kansas. Despite interference by atmospheric eddies, the areas where the modeled sensible and latent heat fluxes were most highly correlated with the aircraft flux estimates were upwind of the flight segments. To assess whether applying a footprint function to the surface values would improve the model evaluation, a two-dimensional correlation distribution was used to identify the locations and relative importance of contributing modeled surface pixels upwind of each segment of the flight path. The agreement between modeled surface fluxes and aircraft measurements was improved when upwind fluxes were weighted with an optimized footprint parameter φ, which can be estimated from wind profiler data and surface eddy covariance. Variations of the flight-observed flux were consistently greater than those modeled at the surface, perhaps because of the smoothing effect of using 1 km pixels in the model. In addition, limited flight legs prevented sufficient filtering of the effects of atmospheric convection, possibly accounting for some of the more prominent changes in fluxes measured along the flight paths.

Comments will include the estimated degree to which these distributions can be accurately found and the possible effects, if any, that the unpolarized distributions may have on this analysis. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The STAR experiment at RHIC had a prototype Forward π0 Detector (FPD) composed of electromagnetic calorimeters in the forward region during the January 2002 run with the first polarized proton-proton collisions. In this paper, I will discuss some aspects of the data, such as the correlation measurement between the FPD and mid-rapidity detectors and measurements in the negative xF region. These data may provide clues to the origin of the single spin asymmetries AN which were measured at FNAL-E704 [1]. At the end, I will discuss the plan for the FPD upgrade for next RHIC run. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We compare this result to the prediction of a next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculation and find good agreement. Since the beams were transversely polarized, these data will be used to measure the single-spin transverse asymmetry (A[sub N]). So, we also discuss the statistical precision for such a measurement. In future runs, the gluon polarization (ΔG/G) will be probed by measuring double-spin longitudinal asymmetries (A[sub LL]). We present an estimate for the statistical precision which is expected for the neutral pion measurement in the upcoming run and compare it to predictions from pQCD calculations using different polarized gluon densities.

Studying polarized proton-proton collisions will add new and unique information to improve our understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) successfully accelerated and collided polarized proton beams in the beginning of 2002. STAR is one of the two large detectors at RHIC. STAR has been taking heavy ion collision data since 2000 and will have excellent capability for spin physics as well. In this paper, an overview of the STAR spin program is given, covering a wide range of physics topics including determination of gluon polarization, flavor separation of quark polarizations, and quark transversity. Some details about the STAR detector, including future upgrade plans, are presented. Results from the 2002 run with transversely polarized protons are summarized. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We have measured the single transverse-spin asymmetry A[sub N] for production of photons, neutral pions, and neutrons at the very forward angle. The asymmetries for the photon and neutral pion sample were consistent with zero within the experimental uncertainties. In contrast, the neutron sample exhibited an unexpectedly large asymmetry. This large asymmetry will be used for the non-destructive polarimeter for polarized proton beams at the collision points in the RHIC interaction region.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 675 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 691 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The cross sections and analyzing powers were measured for 3He+12C, 58Ni, and 90Zr elastic scattering at T3He=450 MeV. The incident energy dependence of the volume integral per nucleon for 3He shows the similar behavior to that of protons if the spin-orbit potential is taken into account. This result supports the assumption that interactions between 3He and nucleus are dominated by the interactions between constituent nucleons of 3He and target nucleus in the intermediate energy region. The results of the single folding calculation suggest the interaction between point nucleon and target nucleus is modified in the 3He+nucleus elastic scattering. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 675 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 700 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The double differential cross sections at 0°–12° were measured for the 90Zr(n,p) reaction at 293 MeV in a wide excitation energy region of 0–70 MeV. The experiment was performed by using the (n,p) facility at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics. The multipole decomposition (MD) technique was applied to the measured cross sections to extract the GT component in the continuum. After subtracting the contribution of the isovector spin-monopole excitation we obtained the GT strength of Sβ+ = 3.0 ± 0.3 ± 0.8 ± 0.5 up to 31.4 MeV excitation. The quenching factor Q was deduced by using the present result and the Sβ- value obtained from the MD analysis of the 90Zr(p,n) spectra. The result is Q = 0.83 ± 0.06 in regards to Ikeda’s sum rule value of 3(N - Z) = 30. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Although the snakes were designed to preserve polarization, the succesful acceleration and storage of polarized beams was dependent also on beam characteristics, like closed orbit, betatron tunes and even betatron coupling. The high-order spin resonances were observed and evaluated.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 675 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 812 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Acceleration of polarized proton beams and experiments with them at RHIC require fast and reliable measurements of the polarization. The polarimeter presented here uses very high figure of merit of the elastic pC scattering at very low momenta transfer since the cross section is large. Small (a few percent) analysing power of the reaction makes it necessary to collect about 107 events per measurement. A deadtimeless DAQ system for the polarimeter is discussed in this paper. It is based on the waveform digitizer modules with “on-board” event analysis, resulting in typical polarization measurement times of several tens of seconds. During winter 2001/2002 RHIC polarized run several dedicated data runs were taken by the polarimeter to extract the form of the analyzing power dependence as a function of the momentum transferred at beam energies 24 and 100 GeV. This dependence is extremely important for the theoretical understanding of the CNI process including the contribution of the spin-flip hadronic amplitude. The new data may become an input to some theoretical models predicting the energy dependence of the analyzing power. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 675 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 857 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The first experiments have been carried out with polarized HD targets at the Laser-Electron-Gamma-Source (LEGS) facility. By holding targets at low temperature and high field (17 mK and 15 Tesla) in a Dilution Refrigerator (DF) for six weeks a frozen-spin state was reached, with equilibrium polarizations for protons and deuterons of 70% and 17%, respectively. Multiple measurements of the relaxation times and multiple transfers of the targets reduced these values so that experimental runs were carried out with polarizations of 30% and 6%, respectively. The relaxation times for protons and deuterons were observed to be 13 days and 36 days, respectively, in the beam line cryostat at 1.3 K and 0.7 Tesla magnetic field. For the future runs significantly higher D polarizations are possible by transfer of spin from the proton to the deuteron using an rf forbidden adiabatic fast passage. Higher polarizations and longer relaxation times are expected from ongoing development. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 675 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 862 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The performance of statically polarized high-field/low-temperature targets is a strong function of the base temperature during polarization. At the Laser-Electron Gamma Source (LEGS) facility, highly polarized Hydrogen Deuteride targets are created in a dilution refrigerator/15 tesla superconducting magnet system, and converted to a frozen spin state. This allows them to retain polarization when placed in a beam at a lower field (0.7 T) and higher temperature (1.3 K). An increase in temperature from the 0 T state to the 15 T state of the refrigerator suggested eddy currents were primarily responsible for heating of the cold finger. Vibration-isolation techniques have been developed to reduce the level of eddy currents due to vibration inside the polarizing field. These techniques reduced the amplitude of vibration due to the pumping system by two orders of magnitude and lowered the cold finger temperature with field energized from ∼ 17 mK to ∼ 12 mK. The potential gain in polarization is substantial. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

From this analysis, which is confirmed by NMR measurements on hydrogen, we conclude that the CC-meter can be operated to give a very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for thermal equilibrium polarization while also producing a highly linear response for fully polarized targets. In general, a well-designed and properly constructed CC-meter can provide a larger SNR at similar non-linearity, compared to the more commonly used Q-meter. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 675 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 881 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The performance of the RHIC Optically-Pumped Polarized H- Ion Source (OPPIS) in 2000–2002 runs in AGS and RHIC is reviewed. The OPPIS met the RHIC requirements for beam intensity with the reliable delivery of about 500 μA polarized H- ion current in 400 μs pulse duration (current can be increased to over 1.0 mA, if necessary). The beam intensity at 200 MeV was (5–6) 1011 H-/pulse, which is sufficient to obtain the required 2·1011 polarized protons per bunch in RHIC. The polarization dilution by molecular ions, which are produced in the ECR primary proton source is discussed. The molecular component can be reduced to about 5% by further ECR source-operation optimization. The molecular component is suppressed by optimization of the extraction electrode optics and by the decelerating einzel lens in the 35 keV LEBT line. As a result, the proton polarization of the accelerated beam was increased to over 80%, as measured in the 200 MeV proton-deuterium polarimeter. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Exposure to atomic hydrogen (or deuterium) is used to clean the wafer surface before the activation with cesium and nitrogen trifluoride to consistently produce high quantum yield photocathodes. The hydrogen-cleaning method is easy, reliable and inexpensive. However, recent tests indicate that exposure to atomic hydrogen may affect the polarization of the electron beam. This paper presents preliminary results of a series of tests conducted to study the effect of atomic H exposure on the polarized electron beam from a strained-layer GaAs sample. The experimental setup is described and the first measurements of the beam polarization as a function of exposure dose to atomic hydrogen are presented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

With this gun, a GaAs photocathode can be loaded from atmosphere, hydrogen cleaned, activated and taken to high voltage in less than 8 hours. The gun is a three chamber design, with all of the moving parts remaining at ground potential during gun operation. Studies of gun performance, photocathode life times, transverse emittance at high bunch charge, helicity correlated effects and beam polarizations from new photocathode samples will all be greatly facilitated by the use of this load locked gun. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this new definition scheme with cavities made of interlocked atomic spheres, the radii are given by simple empirically based expressions involving effective atomic charges of the solute atoms that fit the solute molecular electrostatic potential and a bond length-dependent factor to account for atomic size and hybridization. The scheme shows substantial qualitative differences from other previously proposed schemes, for example, by assigning a large radius to the central atom of the oxoanions. This difference is put on a firm theoretical basis in the case of NO3- through an analysis of the molecular electrostatic potential of the nitrate ion and an analysis of its interaction with a “solvent” water molecule. Despite a large positive partial charge assigned to nitrogen in the nitrate ion, the water solvent molecule continues to act as an H-bond donor in the region of the central N atom as a result of the electrostatic potential of the anion, although the water−nitrate interaction in that region is weaker than near the terminal O atoms. From these results, we surmise that the solvent molecules remain further away from the nitrogen atom, a finding that is consistent with the large radius assigned by the new scheme for nitrogen. The same qualitative feature holds true for all of the oxoanions considered here.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/07/30/ VL - 107 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 5836 EP - 5839 SN - 10895639 AB - This paper presents a critical analysis of Arrhenius parameters for gas-phase fragmentation of proteins and protein−ligand complexes reported in the literature. We demonstrate that there is a surprisingly strong correlation between the Arrhenius activation energy (Ea) and the preexponential factor (A). This correlation becomes extremely important for reactions characterized by very high or very low values of A. This correlation is a direct consequence of the relative change in the spacing between vibrational levels of the reactant and the transition state for reaction. Converting the Arrhenius activation energy into the threshold energy for the reaction using Tolman's theorem reveals the true magnitude of the correlation between molecular complexity and stability. Tolman's correction factor (ΔEcorr) increases linearly with log(A) from 3 kcal/mol for log(A) = 16.2 to 36.4 kcal/mol for log(A) = 39.2. Threshold energies extracted from the Arrhenius activation parameters for 56 different reactions are the same within the experimental error bars, while the preexponential factors differ by many orders of magnitude. This indicates that activation entropy is the major driving force for dissociation of proteins and protein−ligand complexes in the gas phase.

The apparent unification obtained by extrapolating low energy gauge couplings is not accidental when this mechanism is invoked; virtual unification is robust.

Type Ia supernovae first detected this acceleration and have been instrumental in breaking the matter dominated universe paradigm, measuring the current acceleration of the expansion, and probing back to the decelerating phase. To further study the nature of dark energy requires understanding of systematic errors entering into any cosmological probe. Type Ia supernovae provide simple, transparent tracers of the expansion history of the universe, and the sources of systematic uncertainties in the supernova measurement have been identified. We briefly review the progress to date and examine the promise of future surveys with large numbers of supernovae and well bounded systematics.

We review the dynamical properties of such a component, and argue that, even if the background expectation value of this field is fixed and the equation of state is the same as a Cosmological Constant, scalar field fluctuations can still be used to distinguish the two components. We compare predicted spectra of Cosmic Microvave Background (CMB) anisotropies in tracking scalar field cosmologies with the present CMB data, in order to get constraints on the amount and equation of state of dark energy. High precision experiments like SNAP, Planck and SNFactory, together with the data on Large Scale Structure, are needed to probe this issue with the necessary accuracy. Here we show the intriguing result that, with a strong prior on the value of the Hubble constant today, the assumption of a flat universe, and consistency relations between amplitude and spectral index of primordial gravitational waves, the present CMB data at 1σ give indication of a dark energy equation of state larger than −1, while the ordinary Cosmological Constant is recovered at 2σ.

In this framework, we study the linear evolution of the perturbations in the Quintessence energy density, showing that a new phenomenon, named here “gravitational dragging”, can enhance the scalar field density perturbations as much as they reach the non-linear regime. The possibility of dark energy clumps formation is thus discussed.

The nature of the dark energy responsible is intimately tied to the high energy theory and gravitation. Measuring the properties of the accelerating universe and studying both the dark energy and the dark matter of the Universe using supernovae and weak gravitational lensing is the primary aim of the Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP). SNAP can discover and follow thousands of Type Ia supernovae at redshifts z = 0.3 − 1.7. The resulting magnitude-redshift relation can determine the cosmological and dark energy parameters with high precision: the dark energy equation of state w to 0.05 and its time variation w′ = SHAPE="SOL" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">dwdz to ±0.15. Wide area weak gravitational lensing studies will map the distribution of dark matter in the universe.

We then display new corridors of parameter space that allow an acceptable dark matter relic density once gaugino mass universality is relaxed. We finish with a specific string-derived model that allows this universality relaxation and then use the dark matter constraint to make specific statements about the hidden sector of the model.

CDMS data from 1998 and 1999 with a relaxed fiducial-volume cut (resulting in 15.8 kg-days exposure on Ge) are consistent with an earlier analysis with a more restrictive fiducial-volume cut. Twenty-three WIMP candidate events are observed, but these events are consistent with a background from neutrons. Resulting limits on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic-scattering cross-section are lower than those of any other experiment for WIMPs with masses between 10–70 GeV c−2. Under the assumptions of standard WIMP interactions and a standard halo, the results are incompatible with the annual-modulation signal of DAMA at 99.99% CL in the asymptotic limit.

For example, they allow precise control of the chromatic dispersion (CD) profile-the frequency dependence of propagation speed-over a broad wavelength range. This permits studies of nonlinear pulse propagation in previously inaccessible parameter regimes. Here we report on spectral broadening of 100-fs pulses in PCFs with anomalously flat CD profiles. Maps of the spectral and spatio-temporal behaviour as a function of power show that dramatic conversion (to both longer and shorter wavelengths) can occur in remarkably short lengths of fibre, depending on the magnitude and shape of the CD profile. Because the PCFs used are single-mode at all wavelengths, the light always emerges in a fundamental guided mode. Excellent agreement is obtained between the experimental results and numerical solutions of the nonlinear wave equation, indicating that the underlying processes can be reliably modelled. These results show how, through appropriate choice of CD, nonlinearities can be efficiently harnessed to generate laser light at new wavelengths.

This has stimulated the development of strategies that facilitate the recycling of homogeneous catalysts[SUP1-4]. Some of these methods exploit the preference of a catalyst for one of two solvents with thermoregulated miscibility[SUP5,6]; others exploit a dramatic decrease in catalyst solubility as one reagent is consumed[SUP7,8] or temperature changed after completion of the reaction[SUP9-14]. Here we describe a tungsten catalyst for the solvent-free hydrosilylation of ketones that retains its activity until essentially all of the liquid substrate is converted to liquid products, which we can then simply decant to separate the catalyst that precipitates from the products of the reaction. We attribute the ability of the catalyst to retain its solubility and hence activity until completion of the reaction to the transient formation of liquid clathrate[SUP15,16] that contains a few molecules of the substrate per molecule of the otherwise solid catalyst. Insights into the fundamental processes controlling the formation of this liquid clathrate might help to tailor other catalysts and substrates, so as to develop efficient and solvent-free schemes for reactions of practical interest.

A controversy has existed for almost two decades, however, concerning the possibility that neutron doses in Hiroshima may have been much larger than estimated. This controversy was based on measurements of radioisotopes activated by thermal neutrons that suggested much higher fluences at larger distances than expected[SUP2-6]. For fast neutrons, which contributed almost all the neutron dose, clear measurements validation has so far proved impossible at the large distances (900 to 1,500 m) most relevant to survivor locations.[SUP6]. Here, the first results are reported for the detection of (63)Ni produced predominantly by fast neutrons (above about 1 MeV) in copper samples from Hiroshima. This breakthrough was made possible by the development of chemical extraction methods[SUP7,8] and major improvements in the sensitivity of accelerator mass spectrometry for detection of [SUP63]Ni atoms (refs 8-11). When results are compared with [SUP63]Ni activation predicted by neutron doses for Hiroshima survivors[SUP6], good agreement is observed at the distances most relevant to survivor data. These findings provide, for the first time, clear measurement validation of the neutron doses to survivors in Hiroshima.

The films were then treated in CdCl2 vapor at 400 °C for 5 min. The CSS CdS films had hexagonal structure, and good crystallinity. The CdCl2 treatment did not produce major changes, but there was a decrease in the density of planar defects. The untreated CBD CdS films had cubic structure and poorer crystallinity than the CSS films. After the CdCl2 treatment, these films recrystallized to the hexagonal phase, resulting in better crystallinity and a lower density of planar defects. The conformal coverage and the presence of bulk oxygen are the key issues in making the CBD films more suitable for photovoltaic applications.

The Al content was modified either to obtain SiC samples containing a continuous Al gradient, or to vary the average Al content. In both cases, it was found that increasing Al content resulted in decreased number density but dramatically enhanced aspect ratio of the elongated SiC grains. Amorphous-to-crystalline transformation was also confirmed in grain boundary films when Al content exceeded 4 wt%. In addition, increasing Al decreased the degree of cubic-to-hexagonal SiC phase transformation. Similar processing and characterization were done with modified boron and carbon average contents. The systematic experiments demonstrated that boron and carbon promoted formation of elongated grains through promoting 3C-to-4H SiC phase transformation during hot pressing. The experiments also clarified the mechanical property responses to microstructural modification. Tailoring of the SiC microstructure to suit different applications would be possible.

T1 - Flow and solute transport around injection wells through a single, growing fracture JO - Advances in Water Resources JF - Advances in Water Resources Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 26 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 803 SN - 03091708 AB - During deep-well injection of liquids, the formation around an injection well is often fractured due to an imbalance between the injection pressure and the minimum horizontal rock stress opposing fracturing. The resulting fractures can grow during injection, which may span over several months to years. Earlier studies reported on solute transport in a single fracture in low permeability fractured media, assuming that transport into the formation perpendicular to the face of the fracture is mediated by diffusion alone. This may be valid for flow under natural gradients through fractured formations of low permeability. In contrast, due to the high rates of injection through a fractured injection well, both advection and dispersion play an important role in the spread of contaminants around a fractured injection well. We present a model for the flow and reactive solute transport profiles around fractured injection wells, through a single, two-winged vertical fracture created by injection at high rates and/or pressures and growing with time. The fracture, of constant height and infinite conductivity, serves as a line source injecting fluids into the formation perpendicular to its face via a uniform leak-off, resulting in an elliptical water flood front confocal with the fracture. Flow and solute transport within the elliptical flow domain is formulated as a planar (two-dimensional) transport problem, described by the advection–dispersion equation in elliptical coordinates including retardation and 1st order radioactive nuclear decay processes. Results indicate that transport at early times depends strongly on location relative to the fracture. Retardation has a more pronounced influence on transport for the cases where advection is significant; whereas 1st order radioactive nuclear decay process is independent of advective velocity. Flow and transport around an injection well with a vertical fracture exhibits important differences from radial transport that neglects the presence of the fracture, and also from transport from a fracture of constant length. The model and findings presented have applications in the calculation of the fate and transport of contaminants around fractured injectors and modeling the resulting contaminant plumes down stream of the wells. Further, the model also serves as a basis for modeling enhanced remediation of contaminated rock via injection well fracturing, a recently demonstrated technology.

The difficulties associated with solving RE numerically are well known. Most discretization approaches for RE lead to nonlinear systems that are large and difficult to solve. The solution of nonlinear systems for steady-state problems can be particularly challenging, since a good initial guess for the steady-state solution is often hard to obtain, and the resulting linear systems may be poorly scaled. Common approaches like Picard iteration or variations of Newton’s method have their advantages but perform poorly with standard globalization techniques under certain conditions.Pseudo-transient continuation has been used in computational fluid dynamics for some time to obtain steady-state solutions for problems in which Newton’s method with standard line-search strategies fails. Here, we examine the use of pseudo-transient continuation as well as Newton’s method combined with standard globalization techniques for steady-state problems in heterogeneous domains. We investigate the methods’ performance with direct and preconditioned Krylov iterative linear solvers. We then make recommendations for robust and efficient approaches to obtain steady-state solutions for RE under a range of conditions.

JO - Aging Cell JF - Aging Cell Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 2 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 191 EP - 199 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14749718 AB - Summary Werner syndrome (WS) predisposes patients to cancer and premature aging, owing to mutations in WRN . The WRN protein is a RECQ-like helicase and is thought to participate in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). It has been previously shown that non-homologous DNA ends develop extensive deletions during repair in WS cells, and that this WS phenotype was complemented by wild-type (wt) WRN. WRN possesses both 3′ → 5′ exonuclease and 3′ → 5′ helicase activities. To determine the relative contributions of each of these distinct enzymatic activities to DSB repair, we examined NHEJ and HR in WS cells (WRN–/–) complemented with either wtWRN, exonuclease-defective WRN (E–), helicase-defective WRN (H–) or exonuclease/helicase-defective WRN (E–H–). The single E– and H– mutants each partially complemented the NHEJ abnormality of WRN–/– cells. Strikingly, the E–H– double mutant complemented the WS deficiency nearly as efficiently as did wtWRN. Similarly, the double mutant complemented the moderate HR deficiency of WS cells nearly as well as did wtWRN, whereas the E– and H– single mutants increased HR to levels higher than those restored by either E–H– or wtWRN. These results suggest that balanced exonuclease and helicase activities of WRN are required for optimal HR. Moreover, WRN appears to play a structural role, independent of its enzymatic activities, in optimizing HR and efficient NHEJ repair. Another human RECQ helicase, BLM, suppressed HR but had little or no effect on NHEJ, suggesting that mammalian RECQ helicases have distinct functions that can finely regulate recombination events.

Our research pursues useful methods for estimating the permeability, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of various bentonite/crushed rock mixtures for the conditions expected to prevail at the A¨spo¨ Hard Rock Laboratory (A¨SPO¨ HRL). We conducted laboratory experiments and employed inverse modeling techniques to estimate effective thermal and hydraulic parameters suitable for predictive modeling of non-isothermal flow and transport from a nuclear waste repository. Thermal parameters are often calculated based on empirical relationships developed for homogeneous clays, i.e., they are not necessarily valid for mixtures. The applicability of these methods to model thermal-hydraulic processes within the bentonite/crushed rock mixtures in a deep repository needs to be assessed.All experiments were conducted with mixtures containing sodium- (SPV Volclay) or calcium-bentonite (Calcigel) and we used water from A¨spo¨. Hydraulic column experiments were carried out with a specially designed permeameter and Darcy's law was applied to determine the hydraulic conductivity, which followed a lognormal distribution with mean values of 1.64×10−11 and 4.93×10−9 m/s for the two bentonite/crushed rock mixtures studied. The thermal laboratory experiments were analyzed using inverse modeling techniques. The simulated temperature distribution matched the measured data very well at all locations along the column and for all times. The inversely estimated thermal conductivity ranged from 1.6 to 2.2 W/mK, and the specific heat from 810 to 1020 J/kg K, both consistent with the predictions of the empirical relationships. However, the calculation of the effective parameters was very sensitive to heat loss through the insulation. The newly developed experimental setup in combination with inverse modeling allows the identification of key parameters governing the hydraulic and thermal processes of bentonite/crushed rock mixtures under repository conditions.

Focusing on California''s South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) as a case study, we combine ambient monitoring data with time-activity patterns to estimate the population intake of carbon monoxide and benzene emitted from motor vehicles during 1996–1999. In addition to exposures to ambient concentrations, three microenvironments are considered in which the exposure concentration of motor vehicle emissions is higher than in ambient air: in and near vehicles, inside a building that is near a freeway, and inside a residence with an attached garage. Incorporating data on motor vehicle emissions estimated by the EMFAC2000 model, we estimate that the 15 million people in the SoCAB inhale 0.003–0.009% (34–85 per million, with a best estimate of 47 per million) of primary, nonreactive compounds emitted into the basin by motor vehicles. This population intake of primary motor vehicle emissions is approximately 50% higher than the average ambient concentration times the average breathing rate, owing to higher concentrations in the three microenvironments and also to the temporal and spatial correlation among breathing rates, concentrations, and population densities. The approach demonstrated here can inform policy decisions requiring a metric of population exposure to airborne pollutants.

It has been shown that a full negative charge or surrounding partial negative charges will have the same effect. It is concluded that the rate of decarboxylation could be greatly accelerated by the presence of a negative charge nearby. For example, in media with dielectric constants from 5.62 to 20.7, a 108-fold rate acceleration could be achieved by a negative charge placed 3.77 A˚ away from the substrate carboxylate group. However, pKa perturbation on two carboxylate groups at close proximity may limit the extent of catalysis. It should also be noted that the extent of catalysis does not change much when the dielectric constant varies from 5.62 to 20.7.

The dissociating character of detergents, combined with the need to maintain an excess of them, frequently results in more or less rapid inactivation of the protein under study. Over the past few years, we have endeavored to develop a novel family of surfactants, dubbed amphipols (APs). APs are amphiphilic polymers that bind to the transmembrane surface of the protein in a noncovalent but, in the absence of a competing surfactant, quasi-irreversible manner. Membrane proteins complexed by APs are in their native state, stable, and they remain water-soluble in the absence of detergent or free APs. An update is presented of the current knowledge about these compounds and their demonstrated or putative uses in membrane biology.

The low- and intermediate-frequency regions of the generalised spectrum (densities of states) have been measured for both samples in glass and crystal states by means of neutron scattering. Assignment of the most prominent spectral features is facilitated by comparison with results from computer molecular dynamics simulations carried out using transferable potentials that include all the relevant molecular degrees of freedom.

Depending upon the relative concentration these mixtures are fully miscible or show a closed-loop phase diagram. Two mixtures corresponding to the fully miscible composition as well as a phase-separating sample are studied together with neat 3MP liquid. The SANS results show relatively large coherence lengths even for the miscible binary liquid. Quasielastic neutron scattering reveals a significant slowing down of the 3MP dynamics within the mixture as compared to that of pure 3MP. As the phase-separation line is approached from below the translational diffusion coefficients show a clear signature of critical slowing down that mimics the behavior of the shear viscosity.

Essential issues are the type of atomic motions involved and their homogeneity or heterogeneity. Previous experimental studies of the dynamic heterogeneity performed by special NMR techniques for times >10−6 s and by incoherent neutron scattering were restricted to the α-relaxation process. Here we review the results of neutron scattering studies focused on the picosecond time domain showing that fast β-process corresponds to large amplitude cluster like heterogeneous motion.

TGME and DBM have been identified as possible diesel additives based on their physicochemical characteristics and performance in engine tests. Although these compounds will reduce particulate emissions, their potential environmental impacts are unknown. As a means of characterizing their persistence in environmental media such as soil and groundwater, we conducted a series of biodegradation tests of DBM and TGME. Benzene and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) were also tested as reference compounds. Primary degradation of DBM fully occurred within 3 days, while TGME presented a lag phase of approximately 8 days and was not completely degraded by day 28. Benzene primary degradation occurred completely by day 3 and MTBE did not degrade at all. The total mineralized fractions of DBM and TGME achieved constant values as a function of time of ∼65% and ∼40%, respectively. Transport predictions show that, released to the environment, DBM and TGME would concentrate mostly in soils and waters with minimal impact to air. From an environmental standpoint, these results combined with the transport predictions indicate that DBM is a better choice than TGME as a diesel additive.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 59 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 293 EP - 310 SN - 01650009 AB - In this paper, we present a method to quantify the effectiveness of carbon mitigation options taking into account the `permanence' of the emissions reduction. While the issue of permanence is most commonly associated with a `leaky' carbon sequestration reservoir, we argue that this is an issue that applies to just about all carbon mitigation options. The appropriate formulation of this problem is to ask `what is the value of temporary storage?' Valuing temporary storage can be represented as a familiar economic problem, with explicitly stated assumptions about carbon prices and the discount rate. To illustrate the methodology, we calculate the sequestration effectiveness for injecting CO2 at various depths in the ocean. Analysis is performed for three limiting carbon price assumptions: constant carbon prices (assumes constant marginal damages), carbon prices rise at the discount rate (assumes efficient allocation of a cumulative emissions cap without a backstop technology), and carbon prices first rise at the discount rate but become constant after a given time (assumes introduction of a backstop technology). Our results show that the value of relatively deep ocean carbon sequestration can be nearly equivalent to permanent sequestration if marginal damages (i.e., carbon prices) remain constant or if there is a backstop technology that caps the abatement cost in the not too distant future. On the other hand, if climate damages are such as to require a fixed cumulative emissions limit and there is no backstop, then a storage option with even very slow leakage has limited value relative to a permanent storage option.

T1 - Direct numerical simulation of autoignition in non-homogeneous hydrogen-air mixtures JO - Combustion & Flame JF - Combustion & Flame Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 134 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 169 SN - 00102180 AB - The autoignition of spatially non-homogeneous hydrogen-air mixtures in 2-D random turbulence and mixture fraction fields is studied using the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) approach coupled with detailed kinetics. The coupling between chemistry and the unsteady scalar dissipation rate field is investigated over a wide range of different autoignition scenarios. The simulations show that autoignition is initiated at discrete spatially localized sites, referred to as kernels, by radical build-up in high-temperature, fuel-lean mixtures, and at relatively low dissipation rates. Detailed analysis of the dominant chemistry and the relative roles of reaction and diffusion is implemented by tracking the evolution of four representative kernels that characterize the range of ignition behaviors observed in the simulation. This evolution yields different autoignition delay scenarios as well as extinction at the different sites based on the local dissipation rates and their temporal histories. Where significant autoignition delay and extinction are observed, a shift in the relative roles of dominant reactions that contribute to radical production and consumption during this induction phase is observed. This shift is particularly characterized by an increased role of termination reactions during the intermediate stages of the induction period, which results in extinction in approximately two thirds of the ignition kernels in the computational domain. The fate of the different kernels is associated with: (1) the dissipation of heat that contributes to a slowdown in chemical reactions and a shift in the balance between chain-branching and chain-termination reactions; (2) the dissipation of mass that keeps the radical pool growth in check, and that is promoted by slower reaction rates; and (3) counter to the effects of dissipation of heat and intermediate species, the preferential diffusion of H2 relative to both heat and its diluent, N2, that promotes ignition. Ultimately, the balance between radical production and dissipation determines the success or failure of a given kernel to ignite. A new criterion for unsteady ignition is presented based on the instantaneous balance between radical production and dissipation. A Damko¨hler number, so defined, must remain above a critical value of unity at all times during the induction period if the kernel is to eventually ignite. Inherent in a multi-step kinetic description of ignition phenomena is the disparate time scales associated with different elementary reactions that, coupled with the characteristic scales of heat and mass dissipation, may yield different dominant chemistries at different stages of the induction process for a given kernel. To capture the strong history effects associated with radical build-up, new ignition progress variables based on key radical species are investigated.

In order to better understand the reactive mechanisms involved in DDT and to begin to approach the fast ignition and heating rates seen in DDT, high-irradiance (≤800W/cm²) CO2 laser ignition experiments were performed on the common high explosives octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) and 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB). Reported data include time to ignition as a function of laser irradiance, energy, and ignition temperature. A simple dual ignition criteria model (DICM) was used to interpret the HMX results. The DICM requires two basic criteria for ignition: (1) a minimum surface temperature must be reached and (2) a minimum energy concentration must exist within the solid. The DICM sucessfully predicted the slope transition trend and the critical ignition energy for HMX to within 10% of the measured values. TATB had a single dependence on irradiance over the entire range of heating rates.

The two CH hierarchies possess the zero curvature representations through solving a key matrix equation. We see that the well-known CH equation is included in the negative order CH hierarchy while the Dym type equation is included in the positive order CH hierarchy. Furthermore, under two constraint conditions between the potentials and the eigenfunctions, the CH spectral problem is cast in: 1. a new Neumann-like N-dimensional system when it is restricted into a symplectic submanifold of ℝ2N which is proven to be integrable by using the Dirac-Poisson bracket and the r-matrix process; and 2. a new Bargmann-like N-dimensional system when it is considered in the whole ℝ2N which is proven to be integrable by using the standard Poisson bracket and the r-matrix process.

SN - 01787675 AB - A validated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code ICRKFLO was developed for simulations of three-dimensional three-phase reacting flows in Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) riser reactors. It calculates the product yields based on local flow properties by solving the fundamental conservation principles of mass, momentum, and energy for the flow properties associated with the gas, liquid, and solid phases. Unique phenomenological models and numerical techniques were developed specifically for the FCC flow simulation. The models include a spray vaporization model, a particle-solid interaction model, and an interfacial heat transfer model. The numerical techniques include a time-integral approach to overcome numerical stiffness problems in chemical kinetics rate calculations and a hybrid hydrodynamic-kinetic treatment to facilitate detailed kinetics calculations of cracking reactions. ICRKFLO has been validated with extensive test data from two pilot and one commercial FCC units. It is proven to be useful for advanced development of FCC riser reactors.

T1 - Aqueous-Phase Diffusion in Unsaturated Geologic Media: A Review. JO - Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology JF - Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 275 EP - 297 SN - 10643389 AB - Aqueous-phase diffusion in geologic media is very important in agricultural production, contaminant transport and remediation, risk assessment, and waste disposal. This review was undertaken to investigate (1) the components of effective diffusion coefficients, (2) diffusion as a function of water content and diffusion models, as well as the effects of temperature, compactness, and sorption on diffusion, and (3) diffusion in aggregated media. We focus on the behavior of, and relationship between, nonsorbing diffusion species and water content, particularly in porous aggregates. At low water content, aqueous-phase diffusion occurs in thin liquid films on particle surfaces, and diffusion is very slow. Diffusion is monotonically related to water content, but the relationship is not simple and depends on the range of water contents (e.g., the different forms of relationships at different water-content ranges). Data from the scientific literature further show that such relationship is related to the texture (pore-size distribution) of the geologic medium. In this article, we compile the available models that describe the relationship between diffusion coefficient and water content, with some models incorporating parameters related to medium properties. Temperature dependence of diffusion is related to the viscosity change of water at different temperatures. We note that the effects of water content on interacting sorption and diffusion deserve further investigation. Our investigation showed that, for porous aggregated media such as tuff gravel, the total water content is comprised of surface water (inter-aggregate regions) and internal water (intra-aggregate regions). Surface film water around particles and pendular water between the aggregate contacts serve as the predominant diffusion pathways. Diffusion in tuff gravel could be very slow, because water films on surfaces could be discontinuous or absent. Finally, future directions regarding the testing of aqueous-phase diffusion in complex systems (e.g., unsaturated porous aggregates) are offered.

An understanding of the fundamental mechanisms responsible for carbon dioxide-based processing, as in surface cleaning, is lacking. Although carbon dioxide is an excellent solvent for removing non-polar contaminants from a variety of surfaces, other CO2-based cleaning and surface modification processes are based on mechanical or morphological-induced changes in the interfacial region. The extremely low surface tension of CO2 is a favorable property in terms of its rapid and complete removal from the substrate after a treatment has been affected, and this characteristic of CO2 also accounts for its negligible effect on the morphology of the substrate, as utilized in the microelectronic industry. Applications of critical fluids in integrated circuit manufacturing operations, such as wafer cleaning, film deposition, photoresist stripping, drying, and particulate removal are noted.

Typical technology for manufacturing such components involves the use of molds patterned in silicon or silicon dioxide, which are filled by diamond deposition. The degree of conformality of the CVD film and the characteristics of the diamond–substrate interface becomes critical for the successful fabrication and performance of such devices. We have investigated the growth of CVD diamond films on patterned substrates using a microwave plasma assisted deposition reactor. In particular, the use of seed layers to enhance nucleation on horizontal and vertical walls as well as to promote complete filling of narrow trenches is investigated. Scanning electron microscopy is used to characterize the nucleation and growth of the diamond films.

T1 - Novel approaches to visualization and data mining reveals diagnostic information in the low amplitude region of serum mass spectra from ovarian cancer patients. JO - Disease Markers JF - Disease Markers Y1 - 2003/08//2003/2004 VL - 19 IS - 4/5 M3 - Article SP - 197 EP - 207 PB - Hindawi Publishing Corporation SN - 02780240 AB - The ability to identify patterns of diagnostic signatures in proteomic data generated by high throughput mass spectrometry (MS) based serum analysis has recently generated much excitement and interest from the scientific community. These data sets can be very large, with high-resolution MS instrumentation producing 1–2 million data points per sample. Approaches to analyze mass spectral data using unsupervised and supervised data mining operations would greatly benefit from tools that effectively allow for data reduction without losing important diagnostic information. In the past, investigators have proposed approaches where data reduction is performed by a priori "peak picking" and alignment/warping/smoothing components using rule-based signal-to-noise measurements. Unfortunately, while this type of system has been employed for gene microarray analysis, it is unclear whether it will be effective in the analysis of mass spectral data, which unlike microarray data, is comprised of continuous measurement operations. Moreover, it is unclear where true signal begins and noise ends. Therefore, we have developed an approach to MS data analysis using new types of data visualization and mining operations in which data reduction is accomplished by culling via the intensity of the peaks themselves instead of by location. Applying this new analysis method on a large study set of high resolution mass spectra from healthy and ovarian cancer patients, shows that all of the diagnostic information is contained within the very lowest amplitude regions of the mass spectra. This region can then be selected and studied to identify the exact location and amplitude of the diagnostic biomarkers.

Military activities at Fort Benning that result in soil disturbance include infantry, artillery, wheeled, and tracked vehicle training. Soil samples were collected along a disturbance gradient that included: (1) reference sites, (2) light military use, (3) moderate military use, (4) heavy military use, and (5) remediated sites. With the exception of surface soil bulk density, measured soil properties at reference and light use sites were similar. Relative to reference sites, greater surface soil bulk density, lower soil carbon concentrations, and less carbon and nitrogen in particulate organic matter (POM) were found at moderate use, heavy use, and remediated sites. Studies along a pine forest chronosequence indicated that carbon stocks in POM gradually increased with stand age. An analysis of soil C:N ratios, as well as soil carbon concentrations and stocks, indicated a recovery of soil quality at moderate military use and remediated sites relative to heavy military use sites. Measurements of soil carbon and nitrogen are ecological indicators that can be used by military land managers to identify changes in soil from training activities and to rank training areas on the basis of soil quality.

This model was then simplified to reduce calculation time and used to predict conduction peak load (CPL) and yearly integrated wall conduction heat flux (YHF) in three different cities: Singapore (hot/humid), Seattle (cold/humid) and Phoenix (hot/dry). The room air temperature and relative humidity were calculated with the building energy simulation program DOE-2.1E. The materials studied were aerated cellular concrete (ACC), brick (BRK), lime mortar (LMT) and wood. It is shown that the effects of moisture can be very significant and that simplified mathematical models can reduce the calculation time with varying effects on accuracy.

After chemical isolation, Hs atoms were identified by observing genetically linked nuclear-decay chains. Three chains originating from 269Hs confirmed the decay properties observed previously in the decay of 277112. Two chains exhibited the characteristics expected for the new nuclide 270Hs, which was predicted to be a deformed ‘doubly magic’ nucleus. From the measured Eα = 9.16+0.07-0.03 MeV an α-decay half-life of 3.6+0.8-1.4 s was estimated.

JO - European Physical Journal A -- Hadrons & Nuclei JF - European Physical Journal A -- Hadrons & Nuclei Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 17 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 633 EP - 639 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 14346001 AB - Recently, the determination of 63Ni in copper samples has been suggested as a means to assess fast-neutron fluences in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In those samples, 63Ni (half-life: 100.07 years) was produced by MeV neutrons from the A-bomb explosions via the reaction 63Cu(n,p)63Ni. For large distances from the hypocenters, cosmic-ray-induced production of 63Ni might also be important and, therefore, it is calculated here. The effective probability ƒ* which is required to quantify the cosmic-ray-induced production by stopped muons, was measured, and a value of (12.6 ± 1.6)% obtained. The cross-section for the cosmic-ray-induced production by fast muons was measured to be (0.64 ± 0.33) mb, at a muon energy of 100 GeV. To validate the proposed method, cosmic-ray-induced production of 32P in sulfur and of 39Ar in granite was also calculated, and reasonable agreement with literature values was found. Our estimates indicate that as many as (4–5) 10363Ni nuclei per gram copper were produced in a sample that was exposed to cosmic radiation in Hiroshima for about 80 years. A similar concentration due to A-bomb neutrons would be expected in Hiroshima at a distance from the hypocenter of about 1900 m.

It is shown that the coupling to K&Kmacr; has little effect, while ωπ0 improves significantly the fit probability below the φ mass. No need for additional states like ρ(1450) shows up in this invariant-mass range. All parameters, except for the subtraction polynomial coefficients, are fixed from the rest of the HLS phenomenology. The fits show consistency with the expected behaviour of Fπ(s) at s = 0 up to O(s2) and with the phase shift data on δ11(s) from threshold to somewhat above the φ mass. The ω sector is also examined in relation with recent data from CMD-2.

The Lotic Intersite Nitrogen eXperiment (LINX) was a coordinated study of the relationships between North American biomes and factors governing ammonium uptake in streams. Our objective was to relate inter-biome variability of ammonium uptake to physical, chemical and biological processes. 2. Data were collected from 11 streams ranging from arctic to tropical and from desert to rainforest. Measurements at each site included physical, hydraulic and chemical characteristics, biological parameters, whole-stream metabolism and ammonium uptake. Ammonium uptake was measured by injection of 15 N-ammonium and downstream measurements of 15 N-ammonium concentration. 3. We found no general, statistically significant relationships that explained the variability in ammonium uptake among sites. However, this approach does not account for the multiple mechanisms of ammonium uptake in streams. When we estimated biological demand for inorganic nitrogen based on our measurements of in-stream metabolism, we found good correspondence between calculated nitrogen demand and measured assimilative nitrogen uptake. 4. Nitrogen uptake varied little among sites, reflecting metabolic compensation in streams in a variety of distinctly different biomes (autotrophic production is high where allochthonous inputs are relatively low and vice versa ). 5. Both autotrophic and heterotrophic metabolism require nitrogen and these biotic processes dominate inorganic nitrogen retention in streams. Factors that affect the relative balance of autotrophic and heterotrophic metabolism indirectly control inorganic nitrogen uptake.

This would be a ‘proof of performance’ device which would follow and build upon the successes of the national spherical torus experiment (NSTX) ‘proof of principle’ device which has operated at PPPL since 1999. With the decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of the tokamak fusion test reactor (TFTR) nearly completed, the TFTR test cell and facility will soon be available for a device such as NSST. By utilizing the TFTR test cell, NSST can be constructed for a relatively low cost on a short time scale. In addition, while furthering spherical torus (ST) research, this device could achieve modest fusion power gain for short pulse lengths, a significant step toward future large burning plasma devices now under discussion in the fusion community. The selected design point is Q=2 at HH=1.4, Pfusion=60 MW, 5-s pulse, with R0=1.5 m, A=1.6, Ip=10 MA, Bt=2.6 T, CS flux=16 weber. Most of the research would be conducted in DD, with a limited DT campaign during the last years of the program.

This concept combines the high beta and good confinement features of an advanced tokamak with the low current, disruption-free characteristics of a stellarator. NCSX has a three-field-period plasma configuration with an average major radius of 1.4 m, an average minor radius of 0.33 m and a toroidal magnetic field on axis of up to 2 T. The stellarator core is a complex assembly of four coil systems that surround the highly shaped plasma and vacuum vessel. Heating is provided by up to four, 1.5 MW neutral beam injectors and provision is made to add 6 MW of ICRH. The experiment will be built at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, with first plasma expected in 2007.

Due to the short distance of the divertor from the X-point, the connection lengths are short and the scrape off layer thickness is small. A relatively high peak heat flux of 25 MW/m2 is expected on the divertor. The FIRE divertor engineering design is based on the design approaches developed for international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER). The geometry of the FIRE divertor consists of water cooled copper fingers and a tungsten brush armor as plasma facing material. The divertor assembly consists of modular units for remote handling. A 316 stainless steel back plate is used for support and manifolding. The backing plate is joined to the copper fingers by pins. The coolant channel diameter is 8 mm at a pitch of 14 mm. The total power flow to the outer divertor is 35 MW. Water at an inlet temperature of 30 °C, 1.5 MPa and a flow velocity of 10 m/s is used with two channels in series. A margin of ≉1.6 is obtained on the critical heat flux. A three dimensional thermal stress finite element (FE) analysis of this geometry was performed. Thermal hydraulic correlations derived for ITER were used to perform the thermal analysis. Design changes were implemented to reduce the stresses and temperatures to acceptable levels.

Chief among these is the addition of the fifth and sixth 1 MW class gyrotrons, increasing the power available for auxiliary heating and current drive by nearly 60%. These tubes use artificially grown diamond r.f. output windows to obtain high power with long pulse capability. The beams from these tubes are nearly Gaussian, facilitating coupling to the waveguide. A new fully articulating dual launcher capable of high speed spatial scanning has been designed and tested. The launcher has two axis independent steering for each waveguide. The mirrors can be rotated at up to 100°/s. A new feedback system linking the DIII-D Plasma Control System (PCS) with the gyrotron beam voltage waveform generators permits real-time feedback control of some plasma properties such as electron temperature. The PCS can use a variety of plasma monitors to generate its control signal, including electron cyclotron emission and Mirnov probes. Electron cyclotron heating and electron cyclotron current drive were used during this year''s DIII-D experimental campaign to control electron temperature, density, and q profiles, induce an ELM-free H-mode, and suppress the m=2/n=1 neoclassical tearing mode. The new capabilities have expanded the role of EC systems in tokamak plasma control.

In a high performance AT, accurate regulation of the plasma boundary, internal profiles, pumping, fueling, and heating must be well coordinated with MHD control action to stabilize such instabilities as tearing modes and resistive wall modes. Sophisticated monitors of the operational regime must provide detection of off-normal conditions and trigger appropriate safety responses with acceptable levels of reliability. Many of these capabilities are presently implemented in the DIII–D plasma control system (PCS), and are now in frequent or routine operational use. The present work describes recent development, implementation, and operational experience with AT regime control elements for equilibrium control, MHD suppression, and off-normal event detection and response.

The possibility of using SiC-based power-MOSFET depends on operational loss reduction and circuit configuration simplification of the high current AC/DC converter system. Concerning the operational loss reduction, the lower on-state resistance of SiC-based power-MOSFET can decrease the conduction loss of switching unit, and it means that the temperature rise of switching unit in operation period is lowered. Therefore, the auxiliary cooling equipment for AC/DC converter will be minimized. The higher operational temperature of SiC-based power-MOSFET will allow also the cooling capacity minimization. As many parallel connected power-MOSFET elements are required for high current operation, the parallel connected elements should be cooled down to liquid nitrogen temperature for on-state resistance reduction.

Scoville, R.J. La Haye, Nucl. Fusion 43 (4) (2003) 250–257] and resistive wall modes (RWM) [A.M. Garofab, R.J. La Haye, J.T. Scoville, Nucl. Fusion 42 (11) (2002) 1335–1339] and subsequent loss of confinement. They can also cause errors in magnetic measurements made by point probes near the plasma edge, error in measurements made by magnetic field sensitive diagnostics, and they violate the assumption of axisymmetry in the analysis of data. Most notably, the sources of these error fields include shifts and tilts in the coil positions from ideal, coil leads, and nearby ferromagnetic materials excited by the coils. New measurements have been made of the n=1 coil-related field errors in the DIII–D plasma chamber. These measurements indicate that the errors due to the plasma shaping coil system are smaller than previously reported and no additional sources of anomalous fields were identified. Thus they fail to support the suggestion of an additional significant error field suggested by locked mode and RWM experiments.

Both Na-carbonate and hydroxide were used as titrants, and a geochemical equilibrium reaction path model was employed to predict aqueous species and mineral precipitation during titration. Although the model appeared to be adequate to describe the concentration profiles of some metal cations, solution pH, and mineral precipitates, it failed to describe the concentrations of U during titration and its precipitation. Most U (as uranyl, UO22+) as well as Tc (as pertechnetate, TcO4−) were found to be sorbed and coprecipitated with amorphous Al and Fe oxyhydroxides at pH below ∼5.5, but slow desorption or dissolution of U and Tc occurred at higher pH values when Na2CO3 was used as the titrant. In general, the precipitation of major cationic species followed the order of Fe(OH)3 and/or FeCo0.1(OH)3.2, Al4(OH)10SO4, MnCO3, CaCO3, conversion of Al4(OH)10SO4 to Al(OH)3,am, Mn(OH)2, Mg(OH)2, MgCO3, and Ca(OH)2. The formation of mixed or double hydroxide phases of Ni and Co with Al and Fe oxyhydroxides was thought to be responsible for the removal of Ni and Co in solution. Results of this study indicate that, although the hydrolysis and precipitation of a single cation are known, complex reactions such as sorption/desorption, coprecipitation of mixed mineral phases, and their dissolution could occur simultaneously. These processes as well as the kinetic constraints must be considered in the design of the remediation strategies and modeling to better predict the activities of various metal species and solid precipitates during pre- and post-groundwater treatment practices.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/08//8/1/2003 VL - 94 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1414 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - We describe the temporal development of the plasma composition in a pulsed plasma stream generated by cathodic arc. Cathodes of Zr and Cr were operated at various nitrogen pressures. The time-resolved plasma composition for the cathode materials was analyzed with time-of-flight charge-to-mass spectrometry, and was found to be a strong function of the nitrogen pressure. Large plasma composition gradients were detected within the first 60 µs of the pulse, the nitrogen ion concentration increasing with increasing pressure. The results are explained by the formation and erosion of a compound layer formed at the cathode surface in the presence of a reactive gas. The average charge state was also found to be affected by the reactive gas pressure as well as by the time after ignition. The charge states were highest in the beginning of the pulse at low nitrogen pressure, decreasing to a steady-state value at higher pressure. These results are of importance for reactive plasma processing and for controlling the evolution of thin film composition and microstructure.

The experiments employed polyvinyl difluoride stress gauges placed at the front and rear surfaces of the powder mixtures to determine the crush strength, densification history, and shock-induced reaction initiation characteristics. Experiments performed on ∼58% dense Mo+ 2 Si powder mixtures at input stresses less than 4 GPa showed characteristics of powder densification and dispersed propagated wave stress profiles with rise time >∼40 ns. At input stress between 4 and 6 GPa, the powder mixtures showed a shock-compression response following the Hugoniot of the solid-density mixture. In the stress regime of 6-7 GPa, shock-induced melting of silicon was observed, which appears to inhibit a shock-induced chemical reaction on the time scale of the time-resolved measurements. The results of the present work on Mo-Si, taken in conjunction with prior work on the Nb-Si and Ti-Si systems, illustrate that premature melting of silicon and its capillary flow can limit the deformation and mixing between reactants, thereby inhibiting the initiation of "shock-induced" chemical reactions.

Temperature dependence is used to discern the underlying mechanisms responsible for the nonradiative recombination processes. We find that defect-related recombination decreases with an increase in the temperature when the epistructure is lattice matched to the substrate (x = 0.53). In contrast, when the epistructure is lattice mismatched to the substrate, defect-related recombination increases slowly with the temperature. The difference between the lattice-matched and mismatched cases is related to fundamental changes in the defect-related density of states function. The temperature dependence in the lattice-mismatched structures is attributed to two competing effects: wider carrier diffusion, which augments the capture rate, and thermally activated escape, which reduces the occupation of shallow traps. The band gap and temperature dependence of the Auger rate demonstrate that the conduction to heavy hole band/ splitoff to heavy hole band mechanism generally dominates Auger recombination in undoped low-band gap In[sub x]Ga[sub 1-x]As. With this interpretation, our results give a spin-orbit valence split-off band effective mass of m[sub so] = (0.12 ± 0.02)m[sub 0].

The IAS theory makes this new isotherm thermodynamically consistent, whatever the saturation capacities of these single-component isotherms. On a Kromasil-C18 column, with methanol–water (80/20 v/v) as the mobile phase, the best single-solute adsorption isotherm of both toluene and ethylbenzene is the liquid–solid extended multilayer BET isotherm. Despite a significant difference between the monolayer capacities of toluene (370 g/l) and ethylbenzene (170 g/l), the experimental adsorption data fit very well to single-component isotherms exhibiting the same capacities (200 g/l). The new competitive model was used for the modeling of the elution band profiles of mixtures of the two compounds. Excellent agreement between experimental and calculated profiles was observed, suggesting that the behavior of the toluene–ethylbenzene adsorbed phase on the stationary phase is close to ideal. For example, the concentrations measured for the intermediate plateau obtained in frontal analysis differ by less than 2% from those predicted by the IAS model.

The quality of the information provided is, however, somewhat degraded by sign degeneracies in measurements of the dipolar coupling tensor. This is reflected in the dipolar coupling penalty function used in atomic refinement, which is less capable of properly restraining atoms when dipolar sign degeneracies are present. In this report we generate simulated solid-state NMR data using a variety of procedures, including back-calculation from crystal structures of α-helical and β-sheet membrane proteins. We demonstrate that a large fraction of the dipolar sign degeneracies are resolved if anisotropic dipolar coupling measurements are correlated with anisotropic chemical shift measurements, and that all sign degeneracies can be resolved if three data types are correlated. The advantages of correlating data are demonstrated with atomic refinement of two test membrane proteins. When refinement is performed using correlated dipolar couplings and chemical shifts, perturbed structures converge to conformations with a larger fraction of correct dipolar signs than when data are uncorrelated. In addition, the final structures are closer to the original unperturbed structures when correlated data are used in the refinement. Thus, refinement with correlated data leads to improved atomic structures. The software used to correlate dipolar coupling and chemical shift data and to set up energy functions and their derivatives for refinement, CNS-SS02, is available at our web site.

A tandem connection of two or more histidine-aspartate motifs forms complex phosphorelays. While response regulators from simple two-component systems have been characterized structurally in their inactive and active forms, we address here the question of whether a response regulator from a phosphorelay has a distinct structural basis of activation. We report the NMR solution structure of BeF3−-activated Spo0F, the first structure of a response regulator from a phosphorelay in its activated state. Conformational changes were found in regions previously identified to change in simple two-component systems. In addition, a downward shift by half a helical turn in helix 1, located on the opposite side of the common activation surface, was observed as a consequence of BeF3− activation. Conformational changes in helix 1 can be rationalized by the distinct function of phosphoryl transfer to the second histidine kinase, Spo0B, because helix 1 is known to interact directly with Spo0B and the phosphatase RapB. The identification of structural rearrangements in Spo0F supports the hypothesis of a pre-existing equilibrium between the inactive and active state prior to phosphorylation that was suggested on the basis of previous NMR dynamics studies on Spo0F. A shift of a pre-existing equilibrium is likely a general feature of response regulators.

Only UTi2O6 is energetically stable with respect to an oxide assemblage: U0.97Ti2.03O6 (ΔH0f-ox=−7.7±2.8 kJ/mol). Both CeTi2O6 and ThTi2O6 are higher in enthalpy with respect to their oxide assemblages with (ΔH0f-ox=+29.4±3.6 kJ/mol) and (ΔH0f-ox=+19.4±1.6 kJ/mol) respectively. Thus, Ce- and Th-brannerite are entropy stabilized and are thermodynamically stable only at high temperature.

This paper describes recent progress in solar building technology that expands the designer's palette and holds the potential to radically improve building energy performance. The discussion includes market conditions and solar resource data; design integration and modeling; window technology, daylighting, passive solar heating; solar water heating; solar ventilation air preheating; building-integrated photovoltaics; and solar cooling. The Solar Decathlon competition highlighted ways in which these strategies are integrated in successful solar buildings.

If regularly scheduled manual maintenance or recommissioning practices are adopted, they can be expensive and time consuming. Automated proactive commissioning and diagnostic technologies applied to parts of the commissioning process address two of the main barriers to commissioning: cost and schedules. Automated proactive commissioning and diagnostic tools can reduce both the cost and time associated with commissioning, as well as enhance the persistence of commissioning fixes. In the long run, automation even offers the potential for automatically correcting problems by reconfiguring controls or changing control algorithms dynamically. This paper discusses procedures and processes that can be used to automate and continuously commission the economizer operation and outdoor-air ventilation systems of an air-handling unit.

The measurements of the near-traction-free vibrational frequencies of the sphere are matched with the predicted frequencies from the dynamic theory of elasticity, with optimized estimates for the elastic constants driving the differences between these sets of frequencies to a minimal value. The present computational model, although based on earlier approaches, is the first application of RUS to trigonal-symmetry spheres. Quartz shows six independent elastic constants, and our estimates of these constants are close to those computed by other means. Except for C14 , after a 1% mass-density correction, natural quartz and cultured quartz show the same elastic constants. Natural quartz shows higher internal frictions.

This boundary layer scaling is determined from several simulations of convective cell pairs with a fixed PBL depth and is shown to be valid for other sensitivity simulations with larger PBL depths. This research establishes a robust and quantitative relation between prestorm ambient conditions and cell merger potential useful for research efforts on the multifaceted cell merger process of multicell thunderstorms. The weakly sheared ambient prestorm conditions of the 9 August 1991 Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment (CaPE) multicell thunderstorm are used to initialize the cell pair simulations. Since ambient wind and wind shear are assumed to be zero, only simple cell mergers, defined in this study as those between cell updraft cores joined but not overlapping in the convective stage, are shown to be possible. The coarse-resolution simulations of Stalker suggest that ambient wind shear may be necessary for forced cell mergers, defined in this study as those in which the initial updraft cores are found apart. The scenarios of overlapping initial updraft cores for cell merger are considered physically invalid in this study.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 3 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1025 SN - 15306984 AB - SnO2 nanoribbons with exposed (1 0 1̄) and (0 1 0) surfaces have recently been demonstrated to be highly effective NO2 sensors even at room temperature. The sensing mechanism is examined here through first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We show that the most stable adsorbed species involve an unexpected NO3 group doubly bonded to Sn centers. Significant electron transfer to the adatoms explains an orders-of-magnitude drop in electrical conductance. X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicates predominantly NO3 species on the surface, and computed binding energies are consistent with adsorbate stability up to 700 K. Nanoribbon responses to O2 and CO sensing are also investigated.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 3 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1037 SN - 15306984 AB - A fascinating structural transformation occurring inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is the fullerene coalescence, which is responsible for forming stable zeppelinlike carbon molecules. We report in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations revealing sequences of fullerene coalescence induced by electron irradiation on pristine nanotube peapods, together with extensive theoretical investigations of the microscopic mechanism underlying this process. TEM images indicate that the merging of fullerenes results in stable but corrugated tubules (5 to 7 Å in diameter) confined within SWNTs. These observations have been confirmed using a combination of theoretical approaches based on molecular dynamics, empirical potentials, tight-binding methods, Monte Carlo techniques, and first principles calculations. We have fully elucidated the coalescence mechanism of fullerenes inside SWNTs under electron irradiation and thermal annealing. The process occurs via the polymerization of C60 molecules followed by surface reconstruction, which can be triggered either by the formation of vacancies (created under electron irradiation) or by surface-energy minimization activated by thermal annealing. These novel tubular forms of carbon contain hexagons, pentagons, heptagons, and octagons. The stability, electronic properties, and electron conductance of the novel tubules are strongly affected by the final geometry of the coalesced fullerene complex. The possibility of forming highly conducting and semiconducting tubular structures suggests new avenues in designing carbon nanowires with specific electronic characteristics.

Excellent substrate coverage was observed for wires prepared on silicon, c-plane, and a-plane sapphire substrates. The wires were formed via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism with gold, iron, or nickel as growth initiators and were found to have widths of 15-200 nm. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the wires were single-crystalline and were oriented predominantly along the [210] or [110] direction. Wires growing along the [210] orientation were found to have triangular cross-sections. Transport measurements confirmed that the wires were n-type and had electron mobilities of ~65 cm2/V·s. Photoluminescence measurements showed band edge emission at 3.35 eV (at 5 K), with a marked absence of low-energy emission from impurity defects.

The interband transitions of distinct metallic nanotubes were observed directly and assigned using a correlation of the diameter and radial breathing mode (RBM) in the Raman spectrum. The results were extrapolated to all metallic nanotubes using a generalized scaling derived from the tight-binding formalism and were shown to be valid for describing the electronic structure of semiconducting nanotubes as well. The model results are compared using excitation profiles outside of the above-reported scan ranges with excellent agreement between observed and predicted profile widths and transition energies.

In human cells, replicative senescence is caused by telomere shortening, but murine cells senesce despite having long stable telomeres[SUP1]. Here, we show that the phenotypes of senescent human fibroblasts and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) differ under standard culture conditions, which include 20% oxygen. MEFs did not senesce in physiological (3%) oxygen levels, but underwent a spontaneous event that allowed indefinite proliferation in 20% oxygen. The proliferation and cytogenetic profiles of DNA repair-deficient MEFs suggested that DNA damage limits MEF proliferation in 20% oxygen. Indeed, MEFs accumulated more DNA damage in 20% oxygen than 3% oxygen, and more damage than human fibroblasts in 20% oxygen. Our results identify oxygen sensitivity as a critical difference between mouse and human cells, explaining their proliferative differences in culture, and possibly their different rates of cancer and ageing.

In this report, we demonstrate that a third Protein 4.1 family member, Protein 4.1R, functions as a meningioma tumor suppressor. We observed loss of Protein 4.1R expression in two meningioma cell lines (IOMM-Lee, CH157-MN) by Western blotting as well as in 6 of 15 sporadic meningiomas by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization. In support of a meningioma tumor suppressor function, Protein 4.1R overexpression resulted in reduced IOMM-Lee and CH157-MN cell proliferation. Similar to the Protein 4.1B and merlin tumor suppressors, Protein 4.1R membrane localization increased significantly under conditions of growth arrest in vitro. Lastly, we show that Protein 4.1R interacted with a subset of merlin/Protein 4.1B interactors including CD44 and βII-spectrin. Collectively, these results suggest that Protein 4.1R functions as an important tumor suppressor in the molecular pathogenesis of meningioma.

Modern neuroimaging techniques, such as proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) and functional MRI (fMRI), can assess some of the processes underlying HIV brain injury. To evaluate the model that attentional deficits in early HIV brain disease are related to brain inflammation, 1H MRS and fMRI were performed in 14 HIV-positive subjects [acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) dementia complex stage 1 or less]. Increasing attentional load on three working memory tasks was assessed with fMRI, and the concentrations of brain metabolites were measured with 1H MRS in the frontal gray and white matter, and basal ganglia. Metabolite concentrations were correlated with fMRI blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signals, using a random-effects linear regression model in SPM99. Several positive correlations were observed between the BOLD signal strength in the working memory network (posterior parietal cortex and lateral prefrontal cortex) and the concentrations of frontal white matter and basal ganglia metabolites that are predominant in glial cells (choline-containing compounds, myo-inositol, and total creatine). In contrast, BOLD signals in the working memory network were not correlated with the concentration of N-acetyl compounds, which are markers of neuronal viability, or with metabolite concentrations in the frontal gray matter. These findings are consistent with previous results that mild HIV brain injury is associated with increased glial activation without major involvement of neuronal abnormalities. We propose that the inflammatory glial abnormalities reduce the efficiency of neural processing, and necessitate compensatory increases in attention in patients, and associated BOLD signals, to perform a given task. The same mechanism may also contribute to cognitive dysfunction in other brain diseases that involve inflammation.

However, most initial attempts to engineer phytoremediation of Cd have not succeeded in developing sufficient Cd tolerance for vigorous plant growth. • We found that the bacterial arsenate reductase gene (arsC ) provided Cd(II) resistance to Escherichia coli . When ArsC is overexpressed in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum ) and Arabidopsis thaliana , both transgenic plant species showed significantly greater Cd tolerance than wild-type controls. • At 50, 75, and 100 µm concentrations of Cd (II), the ArsC expressing transgenic lines grew bigger with broader leaves and longer roots than wild-type controls, which were stunted, turned yellow, flowered early, and often died. At the various Cd(II) concentrations, ArsC transgenic plants attained f. wt 2–3-fold higher than the wild-type plants and had roots significantly longer than wild-type plants. These transgenic plants also contained 30–50% higher Cd concentrations than wild-type plants. • It is likely that the arsC gene directs Cd tolerance via the electrochemical reduction of Cd(II) to Cd(0).

The active detector is composed of resistive plate chambers (RPCs) operated in streamer mode. Since the start of operation the RPCs have suffered persistent efficiency deterioration and dark current increase problems. The “autopsy” of bad BaBar RPCs revealed that in many cases uncured linseed oil droplets had formed on the inner surface of the Bakelite plates, leading to current paths from oil “stalagmites” bridging the 2 mm gap. In this paper, a possible model of this “stalagmite” formation and its effect on the dark current and efficiency of RPC chambers is presented. Laboratory test results strongly support this model.Based upon this model we are searching for solutions to eliminate the unfavorable effect of the oil stalagmites. The lab tests show that the stalagmite resistivity increases dramatically if exposed to the air, an observation that points to a possible way to remedy the damage and increase the efficiency. We have seen that flowing an oxygen gas mixture into the chamber helps to polymerize the uncured linseed oil. Consequently, the resistivity of the bridged oil stalagmites increases, as does that of the oil coating on the frame edges and spacers, significantly reducing the RPC dark currents and low-efficiency regions. We have tested this idea on two chambers removed from BaBar because of their low efficiency and high dark current. These test results are reported in the paper, and two other remediation methods also mentioned. We continue to study this problem, and try to find new treatments with permanent improvement.

In order to obtain more specific structural information, we have combined aerodynamic levitation and laser heating with the anomalous x-ray scattering technique to study the structure of liquid yttrium oxide at high temperature. The results are in good agreement with the previous experiments and computer simulations. This combination represents a powerful technique for obtaining reliable partial structure information in complex high-temperature liquid materials.

We find that the mechanics of plasticity depend strongly on the indentation loading rate, with low rates promoting discretization of plasticity into rapid bursts. For sufficiently slow indentations, we find that plastic deformation becomes completely discretized in a series of isolated yielding events. As the loading rate is increased, a transition from discrete to continuous yielding is observed. These results are fundamentally different from the classical expectations for metallic glasses, in which the transition from discrete to continuous yielding occurs upon a decrease in deformation rate. The present experimental results are analysed with reference to the theoretical ideal-plastic strain field beneath an indenter and rationalized on the basis of mechanistic models of glass plasticity.

We show that neutron spin echo (NSE) may be used to separate specular and diffuse reflection from the surface of a sample and to obtain information about the in-plane structure of thin films or interfaces. In the implementation discussed here, thin magnetic films of permalloy deposited on silicon substrates are used as Larmor precession devices that are both compact and well-defined geometrically and magnetically.

By the application of tilted magnetic-field borders, SERGIS measures the scattering angle in grazing incidence experiments in absence of any geometrical beam-defining tool, such as slits. The main difficulty in such set-ups is the realization of geometrically flat field borders. The possibility of the application of neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) for such a purpose is discussed, where the field borders are defined by current sheets. Prototype SERGIS experiments performed on holographically made optical gratings at a NRSE triple-axis spectrometer are shown.

The method utilizes the diffraction intensities along the substrate-defined Bragg rods and some crude knowledge of the system structure to determine the complex scattering factors (CSFs) along the Bragg rods. The system electron density and the structure is obtained by Fourier transforming the CSFs into real space. We have applied this method to study the structure of a Gd2O3 film and its interface with the GaAs substrate. The results show that the Gd2O3 abandons the bulk stacking order and adopts that of GaAs. Moreover, the atoms in the first few layers move to in-plane positions that overlap those of the underlying Ga and As. This behavior may be at the heart of its ability to passivate GaAs.

Moderately high energy (24 keV) X-rays are used to penetrate the chamber walls for in situ measurements in the high-temperature, reactive MOVPE environment. Performing measurements in situ allows us to study the growth process in real time, to control the thickness of the films to sub-unit-cell accuracy, to observe the surface structure in equilibrium with the vapor, and to preserve film stoichiometry during high-temperature study by maintaining an overpressure of PbO. While the higher X-ray energy also permits a large volume of reciprocal space to be mapped, it presents challenges for surface scattering due to the small critical angle. Examples of results will be presented from studies of surface structure dynamics, crystal growth, and ferroelectric stripe domains in thin films.

In-plane field cycling aligns the stripe domains along the field direction. In magnetic X-ray scattering the parallel stripe domains act as a magnetic grating resulting in observed Bragg reflections up to fifth order. We model the scattering profile to extract and quantify the domain as well as domain wall widths. Applying fields up to ∼1.2 kOe perpendicular to the film reversibly changes the relative width of up versus down domains while maintaining the overall stripe periodicity. Fields above 1.2 kOe introduce irreversible changes into the domain structure by contracting and finally annihilating individual stripe domains.

The coupling between two permalloy layers is antiferromagnetic-like when the Cr thickness is near 2.0 nm along the easy axis. A strong biquadratic coupling term has been found from the polarized neutron reflectivity study. The strong biquadratic coupling may be caused by the rough interface between the permalloy and Cr layers. The missing GMR effect of this system might be due to this strong biquadratic coupling of permalloy layers.

Peaks are observed in the M–H curves that are shown to correspond to vortex row-transitions and the field values of the transitions agree well with free energy calculations. An additional peak is observed at an applied field smaller than the first row-transition field and this is shown to arise from the lower critical field parallel to the surface. Demagnetization effects are discussed. SPNR measurements performed at low field give the London penetration length and measurements in the mixed state are consistent with a single row of vortices residing in the film center, but with positional fluctuations amounting to 1/4 of the film thickness. It is also shown that cycling the applied field leads to a surface-induced reorientation of the vortex magnetic field, which points perpendicular to the surface in zero field.

It is shown that both the static structure and the diffusional dynamics of concentrated suspensions of polystyrene spheres in glycerol are well-described by theories developed for hard spheres. Next, XPCS experiments probing the dynamics of surface height fluctuations as a function of lateral length scale are described. Measurements were performed on polystyrene (PS) thin films of thicknesses varying from 840 to 3330 A˚ at temperatures above the PS glass transition temperature. Within a range of wave vectors spanning 10−410−3 A˚−1, good agreement is found between the measured surface dynamics and the theory of overdamped thermal capillary waves on thin films. Quantitatively, the data can be accounted for using the viscosity of bulk PS.

Molecular weights, ranging from 30 to 650 kg/mol, were used in the study. Lateral length scales probed are at least ten times smaller than those accessible in conventional dynamic light scattering. Good agreement between the experimental results and conventional theory permits us to determine the film viscosity. The viscosity obtained in thin films with a higher molecular weight shows lower viscosity than the one obtained from bulk polystyrene of corresponding molecular weight.

Due to the importance of PAHs and their health effects in cigarettes, development of systems to analyze PAHs in cigarette smoke may become useful in developing a less harmful product. However, the complexity of cigarette smoke chemistry remains a significant obstacle in its analysis: many cigarette smoke components are produced due to reactions such as decomposition and recombination of cigarette components during the smoking process. Methods to analyze these reactions in real-time are needed. In this article the authors report direct monitoring of pyrene in mainstream smoke using time-gated laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) based on fiber optics. The time-gated detection system could provide a reduced background signal of mainstream smoke when using optimized gate delay and gate width parameters. The results demonstrate the feasibility of direct monitoring of PAHs in mainstream smoke.

SN - 00334553 AB - — A time-domain pure-state polarization analysis method is used to characterize surface waves traversing California parallel to the plate boundary. The method is applied to data recorded at four broadband stations in California from twenty-six large, shallow earthquakes which occurred since 1988, yielding polarization parameters such as the ellipticity, Euler angles, instantaneous periods, and wave incident azimuths. The earthquakes are located along the circum-Pacific margin and the ray paths cluster into two groups, with great-circle paths connecting stations MHC and PAS or CMB and GSC. The first path (MHC-PAS) is in the vicinity of the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS), and the second (CMB-GSC) traverses the Sierra Nevada Batholith parallel to and east of the SAFS. Both Rayleigh and Love wave data show refractions due to lateral velocity heterogeneities under the path, indicating that accurate phase velocity and attenuation analysis requires array measurements. T he Rayleigh waves are strongly affected by low velocity anomalies beneath Central California, with ray paths bending eastward as waves travel toward the south, while Love waves are less affected, providing observables to constrain the depth extent of anomalies. Strong lateral gradients in the lithospheric structure between the continent and the ocean are the likely cause of the path deflections.

In this context, the finding of remains from five individuals dated to the 9th millenium BP on the re-excavations at Ban˜o Nuevo Cave (Andean Central Patagonia, Chile) is particularly interesting. They may not appear excessively old, but several radiocarbon dates (two of them done through AMS directly on the bone of one of the individuals) place them among the very few well-dated early human skeletons throughout the Americas. The small sample size militates against any interpretation of biological affiliation (to say nothing of population movements) and we can only affirm that these people belonged to a generalized “mongoloid stock”, different from historically known Patagonian populations. After a brief presentation of the skeletal evidence and the bone dating methods, we evaluate the relevance of this context with respect to the sparse osteological record of humans in the Americas on the Pleistocene/Holocene transition.

We show that the step-length control parameter which appears in the definition of pattern search algorithms provides a reliable asymptotic measure of first-order stationarity. This gives an analytical justification for a traditional stopping criterion for pattern search methods. Using this measure of first-order stationarity we both revisit the global convergence properties of pattern search and analyze the behavior of pattern search in the neighborhood of an isolated local minimizer.

This mechanism, which appears to be an electrochemical process involving the soda-lime glass superstrate with its conductive SnO2:F layer, can be greatly accelerated by subjecting modules to elevated temperatures and humidity, both of which increase the leakage currents between the frame and the active PV layers. Water vapor can affect the module damage in two ways: (1) by enhancing leakage currents, and (2) by entering through the module edges, it appears to promote the chemical reaction responsible for the SnO2 corrosion. Damage has been found to occur in both a-Si and CdTe modules.

The results are consistent with the recent discovery of a narrow bandgap of ∼0.7 eV for InN. A bowing parameter of 3 eV was determined from the composition dependence of these bandgaps. Combined with previously reported data of InGaN and GaAlN, these results show a universal relationship between the bandgap variations of group-III nitride alloys and their compositions.

A new resonance at 110.8 ppm is observed in the high-resolution 13C CP/MAS spectrum upon the application of heat or sample desiccation. With the use of the dipolar-dephasing spectral editing technique, this resonance is identified as a hemiketal carbon and the alternative hypothesis, a conformational change to the anomeric carbon of the desosamine sugar, is ruled out. Hence, the formation of a cyclic hemiketal in erythromycin A while in the solid phase is proven by solid-state NMR. The principal components of the 13C chemical-shift tensor corresponding to this hemiketal are reported. This is the first measurement of hemiketal 13C principal values. The δ11 and δ22 components are unique compared to anomeric carbon values reported in the literature.

The silicide-based contacts on SiC are found to exhibit improved thermal stability compared to pure W contacts. The Au/Ti/WSix contacts show a maximum Schottky barrier height of ∼1.15 eV as obtained from current–voltage (I–V) measurements. After 500 °C anneals, the Ti diffuses to the surface of the contact structure, followed by a Au-rich layer and finally the WSix. After 1000 °C anneals, the Ti and Au showed significant mixing. Particulates formed on the surface in the latter case were Au-rich phases.

Reflection high-energy electron diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are also performed to verify surface structure and composition. The sputtered surface shows structure and chemical composition consistent with that of β-Al–Cu–Fe cubic phase together with a sharp Fermi cut-off. With increasing annealing temperature, the surface structure and composition reverts to that of the quasicrystal. This transformation is correlated with a decrease of the spectral intensity at the Fermi level (EF). Analysis of the UPS spectra in the region near EF is performed by fitting the data with a pseudogap function.

We show that, upon increasing spacer thickness, the decay of the strain field on the spacer surface undergoes a crossover from a non-cubic inverse power law to a cubic inverse power law. The exponent for the non-cubic inverse power law depends on island slope with a smaller exponent corresponding to a smaller slope. Additionally, the strain is nearly proportional to the island volume when the slope is large but to the island area when the slope is small. These findings reconcile several diverse predictions derived from large-scale atomistic simulations for islands of different geometries.

While ab initio calculations scatter around the experimental results by about 20%, field ion microscopy of Ir(1 1 1) and Pt(1 1 1) yields dimer binding energies nearly a factor of three smaller than the corresponding scanning tunneling microscopy results. On the basis of ab initio calculations, these low values are attributed to the neglect of dimer dissociation processes at step edges.

The pioneering experiments with this lens demonstrated that the antiproton lifetime can be reduced from several hundreds to several tens of hours. In this work, we experimentally study processes arising when a high-intensity proton bunch meets an electron beam. Two physical mechanisms that may diminish the lifetime of the antiproton bunch are suggested.

JO - Tectonics JF - Tectonics Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 22 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 02787407 AB - Geologic investigations of how the Tibetan plateau is currently deforming have focused primarily on its boundary faults. Consequently, how the interior of the plateau deforms remains poorly understood. To fill this gap in knowledge, we conducted field mapping, analysis of remote sensing and digital topographic data, and reinterpretation of existing geologic maps in central Tibet. This study reveals a 200-300 km wide and 1500-1800 km long east trending zone conjugate strike-slip faults across central Tibet. The central Tibet conjugate fault zone is comprised of northeast striking left-slip faults north of the Bangong-Nujiang suture and northwest striking right-slip faults south of the suture zone. These strike-slip faults are kinematically linked with north trending Tibetan rifts located north and south of the conjugate fault systems. Without exception, all conjugate faults intersect or merge toward one another along the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone. Motion on these faults accommodates coeval east-west extension and north-south contraction. To determine the fault kinematics and the magnitude of fault slip, we investigated three conjugate fault sets in the central Tibet fault zone. These include from east to west, the Dong Co, Bue Co, and Aishi Co conjugate fault systems, which are adjacent to the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and separated by a distance of 400 and 70 km, respectively. The average magnitude of fault motion on individual strike-slip faults is ∼12 km as determined by offsets of Tertiary thrusts and Paleozoic-Mesozoic lithologic units. The conjugate fault configuration requires ∼12 km of north-south contraction across the 200-300 km fault zone since its initiation. Because the conjugate strike-slip faults are kinematically linked with the north trending Tibetan rifts which initiated between 14 and 8 Ma, our estimated magnitude of north-south contraction implies a contraction rate of ∼1-2 mm/yr across central Tibet. The relatively closely spaced (<150 km) basins may result from a series of conjugate strike-slip fault systems in the interior of Tibet. These structures likely formed by eastward spreading of the Tibetan crust via distributed eastward extrusion of small (<150 km wide) wedge-shaped crustal blocks that leave a space at their trailing end.

A qualitative model was developed to explain the observed instabilities in the step morphology of these films, namely, the formation of hillocks and v-defects that give rise to surface roughening. V-defects, observed at a surface density greater than 2×108/cm2, are a result of interactions between moving surface steps, cores of screw-type dislocations, and two-dimensional islands of atoms that form on the terraces during growth at high surface undercooling. A delay in the formation of v-defects in InGaN to a nominal thickness of 10 nm was observed and associated with the ammonia partial pressure and the interactions between steps associated with hillock islands and cores of screw-type dislocations. Hillock formation was attributed to a transition in the thermodynamic mode of film growth, as three-dimensional islands nucleated on the cores of screw-type dislocations at a density of 2×108/cm2. Explanations for the foregoing observations are based on growth model theory previously developed by Burton, Cabrera and Frank and on changes in the surface kinetics with temperature, In composition, and gas phase composition.

JO - Topics in Catalysis JF - Topics in Catalysis Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 23 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 38 SN - 10225528 AB - The structure of the orthorhombic phase in the MoVNbTeO propane ammoxidation catalyst system has been characterized and refined using a combination of TEM, synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (S-XPD), and neutron powder diffraction (NPD). This phase, designated as M1 by Ushikubo et al. [1], crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pba2 (No. 32) with a = 21.134(2) Å, b = 26.658(2) Å, and c = 4.0146(3) Å. The formula unit is Mo7.5V1.5NbTeO29. Bond valence sum calculations indicate the presence of d1 metal sites neighbored by d0 metal sites. The d1 sites are occupied by a distribution of Mo5+ and V4+, whereas the d0 sites are occupied by a distribution of Mo6+ and V5+. Out-of-center distortions in d0 octahedra are consistent with the second-order Jahn–Teller effect and lattice effects. We argue that the V5+–O–V4+/Mo5+ moieties adjacent to Te4+ and Mo6+ sites in the [001] terminal plane provide a spatially isolated active site at which the selective ammoxidation of propane occurs.

Epimorphin is an extracellular protein that is expressed by mammary mesenchymal cells that directs epithelial morphogenesis. Depending upon the context of presentation – polar versus apolar – epimorphin can selectively direct two key processes of tubulogenesis: branching morphogenesis (processes involved in tubule initiation and extension) and luminal morphogenesis (required for enlargement of tubule caliber). Here, we outline the fundamentals of mammary gland development and describe the function of epimorphin in these processes. We conclude with a review of recent studies that suggest similar morphogenic roles for epimorphin in other glandular organs.

The recalcitrant nature of these compounds may require aggressive chemical treatment to effectively remediate these sites. This study was conducted to assess the viability of permanganate oxidative treatment as a method to reduce PAH concentration in contaminated soils. Study results demonstrated a reduction in soil sorbed concentration for a mixture of six PAHs that included anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, chrysene, fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and pyrene by potassium permanganate (KMnO4) oxidative treatment. The greatest reduction in soil concentration was observed for benzo(a)pyrene, pyrene, phenanthrene, and anthracene at 72.1, 64.2, 56.2, and 53.8%, respectively, in 30 min at a KMnO4 concentration of 160 mM. Minimal reductions in fluoranthene and chrysene concentration were observed at 13.4 and 7.8%, respectively, under the same conditions. A relative chemical reactivity order of benzo(a)pyrene>pyrene>phenanthrene>anthracene>fluoranthene>chrysene towards permanganate ion was observed. Aromatic sextet theory was applied to the degradation results to explain the highly variable and compound-specific chemical reactivity order.

The 87Sr/86Sr values for the pore waters decrease systematically with depth, from a high value of 0.721 near the surface toward the bulk sediment average value of 0.711. Estimates of the bulk weathering rate combined with Sr isotopic data were used to constrain the long-term (century to millenial scale) natural diffuse infiltration flux for the site given both steady state and nonsteady state conditions. The models suggest that the infiltration flux for the site is 7 ± 3 mm/yr. The method shows potential for providing long-term in situ estimates of infiltration rates for deep heterogeneous vadose zones.

Analysis of cleanup criteria can be relevant for future agreements and may also provide insight into a complex decision making process where science and policy issues converge. An Internet accessible database has been established to summarize cleanup criteria and related factors involved in U.S. Department of Energy remediation decisions. This paper reports on a new user interface for the database that is designed to integrate related information into graphic displays and tables with interactive features that allow exploratory data analysis of cleanup criteria.

A series of as-grown and annealed metalorganic chemical-vapor-deposited and molecular-beam-epitaxy samples with varying composition were studied. We observed a deep hole trap with activation energy ranging between 0.5 and 0.8 eV in all samples. The data clearly obey the Meyer-Neldel rule (MNR) with an isokinetic temperature of 350 K. We show that great care must be used in extracting capture cross sections (σ) from materials that obey the MNR. In fact, we argue that it is probably not possible to determine σ from the detrapping rate alone. One must measure both trapping and detrapping rates.

We describe a chemical strategy directed toward identifying O-GlcNAc-modified proteins from living cells or proteins modified in vitro. We demonstrate, in vitro, that each enzyme in the hexosamine salvage pathway, and the enzymes that affect this dynamic modification (UDP-GIcNAc:polypeptidtyltransferase and O-GIcNAcase), tolerate analogues of their natural substrates in which the N-acyl side chain has been modified to bear a bio-orthogonal azide moiety. Accordingly, treatment of cells with N-azidoacetylglucosamine results in the metabolic incorporation of the azido sugar into nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. These O-azidoacetylglucosamine-modified proteins can be covalently derivatized with various biochemical probes at the site of protein glycosylation by using the Staudinger ligation. The approach was validated by metabolic labeling of nuclear pore protein p62, which is known to be posttranslationally modified with O-GIcNAc. This strategy will prove useful for both the identification of O-GIcNAc-modified proteins and the elucidation of the specific residues that bear this saccharide.

Remote detection allows the separate optimization of the encoding and detection steps, permitting the independent choice of experimental conditions and excitation and detection methodologies. In the initial experimental demonstration of this technique, we show that taking dilute [sup 129]Xe from a porous sample placed inside a large encoding coil and concentrating it into a smaller detection coil can amplify NMR signal. In general, the study of NMR active molecules at low concentration that have low physical filling factor is facilitated by remote detection. In the second experimental demonstration, MRI information encoded in a very low-field magnet (4-7 mT) is transferred to a high-field magnet (4.2 T) to be detected under optimized conditions. Furthermore, remote detection allows the utilization of ultrasensitive optical or superconducting quantum interference device detection techniques, which broadens the horizon of NMR experimentation.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2003/08/05/ VL - 100 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 9144 EP - 9149 SN - 00278424 AB - Higher animals typically rely on calcification to harden certain tissues such as bones and teeth. Some notable exceptions can be found in invertebrates: The fangs, teeth, and mandibles of diverse arthropod species have been reported to contain high levels of zinc. Considerable quantities of zinc also occur in the jaws of the marine polychaete worm Nereis sp. High copper levels in the polychaete worm Glycera dibranchiata recently were attributed to a copper-based biomineral reinforcing the jaws. In the present article, we attempt to unravel the role of zinc in Nereis limbata jaws, using a combination of position-resolved state-of-the-art techniques. It is shown that the local hardness and stiffness of the jaws correlate with the local zinc concentration, pointing toward a structural role for zinc. Zinc always is detected in tight correlation with chlorine, suggesting the presence of a zinc-chlorine compound. No crystalline inorganic phase was found, however, and results from x-ray absorption spectroscopy further exclude the presence of simple inorganic zinc-chlorine compounds in amorphous form. The correlation of local histidine levels in the protein matrix and zinc concentration leads us to hypothesize a direct coordination of zinc and chlorine to the protein. A comparison of the role of the transition metals zinc and copper in the jaws of two polychaete worm species Nereis and Glycera, respectively, is presented.

Glycosyltransferases from this pathway are potential tools for the combinatorial design of new antibiotics that are effective against vancomycin-resistant bacterial strains. These enzymes are members of the GT-B glycosyltransferase superfamily, which share a homologous bidomain topology. We present the 2.8-Å crystal structures of GtfA complexes with vancomycin and the natural monoglycosylated peptide substrate, representing the first direct observation of acceptor substrate binding among closely related glycosyltransferases. The acceptor substrates bind to the N-terminal domain such that the aglycone substrate's reactive hydroxyl group hydrogen bonds to the side chains of Ser-10 and Asp-13, thus identifying these as residues of potential catalytic importance. As well as an open form of the enzyme, the crystal structures have revealed a closed form in which a TDP ligand is bound at a donor substrate site in the interdomain cleft, thereby illustrating not only binding interactions, but the conformational changes in the enzyme that accompany substrate binding.

It has been exploited in microscopy, where much smaller areas can be probed, with sizes close to the diffraction limit. The experiments have been performed at two beamlines, one at the National Synchrotron Light Source (USA) and one at SuperACO, LURE (France). The potentiality of this microanalytical synchrotron-based technique is particularly well documented in the study of individual cells: functional groups imaging representing biochemical changes have been obtained at various states of mitosis and apoptosis. The higher spatial resolution and spectral quality achieved allows investigating biological tissues in more detail. In this work, this is exemplified in the study of human hair and skin, where, in both cases, highly localized compounds have been evidenced in specific areas of the analyzed tissues: high lipid concentration inside the hair medulla, and inside the Stratum Corneum (SC) of skin. Moreover, the lineshape and frequency position of the CH2 stretching mode indicates a highly ordered phase extending over almost all the Stratum Corneum. The penetration pathway of an external agent has been also studied for both hair and skin. It is clear that synchrotron-based infrared microspectroscopy is an extremely valuable analytical tool when determining the spatially resolved chemical composition of biological and biomedical samples. In the future, the combination of infrared microspectroscopy with other synchrotron-based microscopic techniques, such as X-ray microscopy, at the same sample location is discussed.

Hydrogen can be generated by decomposition of alcohols, which are now present in a large fraction of automobile fuels (reformulated gasoline). In the present study, in situ production of hydrogen by catalytic decomposition of ethanol and other alcohols over Cu/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) derived catalysts has been investigated. Reactions were performed using both neat alcohols and alcohol/fuel mixtures at temperatures of 150–400 °C and atmospheric pressure. Catalytic dehydrogenation of the neat alcohols to H2 and their corresponding aldehyde appears to be the major mechanism occurring in the reactions. The active catalytic phase is derived from the initial Cu/Al LDH structure during the process. The onset of H2 formation generally occurred at 200–230 °C, and is related to the formation of metallic Cu species formed during in situ modification of the initial LDH. In alcohol/fuel mixtures, dehydrogenation of the alcohols also appeared to be the major mechanism. Significant irreversible catalyst deactivation occurred above 350–360 °C.

Sequentially, one or two layers adsorb on the SiO2 surface with the long-axis of the C32 molecules oriented parallel to the interface followed by a C32 monolayer with the long-axis perpendicular to it. Finally, preferentially oriented bulk particles nucleate having two different crystal structures. This growth model differs from that found previously for shorter alkanes deposited from the vapor phase onto solid surfaces.

JO - Lancet JF - Lancet Y1 - 2003/08/09/ VL - 362 IS - 9382 M3 - Article SP - 440 PB - Lancet SN - 00995355 AB - Background Werner's syndrome is a progeroid syndrome caused by mutations at the WRN helicase locus. Some features of this disorder are also present in laminopathies caused by mutant LMNA encoding nuclear lamin A/C. Because of this similarity, we sequenced LMNA in individuals with atypical Werner's syndrome (wild-type WRN). Methods Of 129 index patients referred to our international registry for molecular diagnosis of Werner's syndrome, 26 (20%) had wildtype WRN coding regions and were categorised as having atypical Werner's syndrome on the basis of molecular criteria. We sequenced all exons of LMNA in these individuals. Mutations were confirmed at the mRNA level by RT-PCR sequencing. In one patient in whom an LMNA mutation was detected and fibroblasts were available, we established nuclear morphology and subnuclear localisation. Findings In four (15%) of 26 patients with atypical Werner's syndrome, we noted heterozygosity for novel missense mutations in LMNA, specifically A57P, R133L (in two people), and L140R. The mutations altered relatively conserved residues within lamin A/C. Fibroblasts from the patient with the L140R mutation had a substantially enhanced proportion of nuclei with altered morphology and mislocalised lamins. Individuals with atypical Werner's syndrome with mutations in LMNA had a more severe phenotype than did those with the disorder due to mutant WRN. Interpretation Our findings indicate that Werner's syndrome is molecularly heterogeneous, and a subset of the disorder can be judged a laminopathy.

Phase-space geometry is emphasized for the WZW orbifolds — while for the sigma model orbifolds we construct the corresponding sigma model orbifold action, which includes the previously-known general WZW orbifold action and general coset orbifold action as special cases. We focus throughout on the twisted Einstein tensors with diagonal monodromy, including the twisted Einstein metric, the twisted B field and the twisted torsion field of each orbifold sector. Finally, we present strong evidence for a conjectured set of twisted Einstein equations which should describe those sigma model orbifolds in this class which are also one-loop conformal.

Motivated by the recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observation of the "checkerboard" pattern in the tunneling conductance in superconducting Bi[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]CaCu[sub 2]O[sub 8+δ], we study the effects of these high-energy dynamic spin collective modes on the local density of states (LDOS). Unlike other scenarios recently proposed, we do not assume the pinning of the collective mode. The exchange coupling between the superconducting electrons and the collective modes produces high energy peaks in the LDOS. The spatial dependence of the LDOS at high resonant energy suggests a possible detection of resonant magnetic mode with the STM.

The tunneling spectra in the superconducting state (T ≪ T[sub c]) display spectral features such as well-defined superconducting gap peak at ±Δ as well as dip-hump structures beyond the peaks. In some cases, the spectra with two-gaps have been observed, indicating the coexistence of two inequivalent superconducting layers. The statistical distribution of superconducting gap magnitude suggests two distinct kinds of superconducting gaps that may originate from two inequivalent CuO[sub 2] planes, a characteristics of multilayered cuprates with n ≥ 3.

The first-order valence transition temperature T[sub V] ~ 42 K at ambient pressure is completely suppressed for pressures above 2.49 GPa. Present electrical resistivity data in the pressure-stabilized high-temperature (HT) phase exhibit successive shoulders at around 20 and 2.4 K. The former can reasonably be compared with the Kondo temperature T[sub K] ~ 25 K estimated from the static-susceptibility data at ambient pressure. For pressures above 2.27 GPa, the ac-susceptibility showed a clear peak at 2.4 K, which can be explained as the onset of a long-range ferromagnetic ordering. [sup 63]Cu pure-quadrupole-resonance in the HT phase showed that the value of spin-lattice relaxation time T[sub 1] and the almost T-independent behavior are hardly affected with pressure up to 1.3 GPa, in contrast to the large increase in quadrupole frequency.

Non Fermi liquid behavior is observed near the metamagnetic transition fields. But the normal Fermi liquid behavior recovers after completing the phase transition.

The superconducting state recovery proceeds on the timescale of several hundred picoseconds and shows a strong temperature dependence. In particular, upon increasing the temperature the recovery time first decreases, reaches a minimum, followed by a quasi-divergence upon further increasing the temperature towards T[sub c]. Moreover, the recovery time shows virtually no intensity dependence, even though the photoexcitation fluence is changed by over an order of magnitude. This suggests that pair recovery is goverend by a phonon-bottleneck mechanism, where the lifetime of high energy phonons (ℏω > 2Δ) is governed by their anharmonicity.

Enlarging the scope of PIC, the CPK method (Complex Particle Kinetic) concept uses an ensemble of small, fluid-like macro-particles to represent particle distributions in phase space. These macro-particles are Gaussian-shaped in both position and velocity compared to the phase-space delta functions used in standard PIC and the spatial “sugar cube” particles used in an early version of this model . Time evolution is modeled by a combination of the Lagrangian motion and internal evolution within each individual macro-particle. An analytic term is added to each particle’s shape that represents internal evolution consistent with the collisionless, free-streaming of each macro-particle. Collision-dominated, γ-law gas internal evolution is also developed to define the opposite limit of collisionality. Similar to our initial effort, macro-particles are aggressively fragmented in phase space to probe for emerging kinetic features and aggressively merged, for economy, if interesting features fail to materialize. With CPK, fragmentation in both position and velocity space can be accomplished without loss of significant phase space information. Fragmentation preserves the kinetic capabilities of PIC; merging dramatically shrinks the number of particles in non-kinetic or collisional regions. In collision-dominated regimes, merging naturally produces a few Lagrangian particles that act much as nodes in Free-Lagrangian hydrodynamics. The only interaction between neutral particles is through merging; no mesh-dependent pressure gradients are needed. Finally, a linked-list data structure significantly reduces time spent “sorting” nearest neighbors for potential merging—and should lead to straightforward MPP operation.

T1 - A residual Monte Carlo method for discrete thermal radiative diffusion JO - Journal of Computational Physics JF - Journal of Computational Physics Y1 - 2003/08/10/ VL - 189 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 539 SN - 00219991 AB - Residual Monte Carlo methods reduce statistical error at a rate of exp(−bN), where b is a positive constant and N is the number of particle histories. Contrast this convergence rate with 1/√ of N, which is the rate of statistical error reduction for conventional Monte Carlo methods. Thus, residual Monte Carlo methods hold great promise for increased efficiency relative to conventional Monte Carlo methods. Previous research has shown that the application of residual Monte Carlo methods to the solution of continuum equations, such as the radiation transport equation, is problematic for all but the simplest of cases. However, the residual method readily applies to discrete systems as long as those systems are monotone, i.e., they produce positive solutions given positive sources. We develop a residual Monte Carlo method for solving a discrete 1D non-linear thermal radiative equilibrium diffusion equation, and we compare its performance with that of the discrete conventional Monte Carlo method upon which it is based. We find that the residual method provides efficiency gains of many orders of magnitude. Part of the residual gain is due to the fact that we begin each timestep with an initial guess equal to the solution from the previous timestep. Moreover, fully consistent non-linear solutions can be obtained in a reasonable amount of time because of the effective lack of statistical noise. We conclude that the residual approach has great potential and that further research into such methods should be pursued for more general discrete and continuum systems.

The InN film was identified to be nonpolar (1120) a-plane which follows the a-plane GaN buffer. Optical absorption and photoluminescence measurements of this material show that InN has a fundamental band gap of about 0.7 eV, which is also seen for growth on c-plane sapphire. The room-temperature Hall mobility of undoped a-plane InN is around 250 cm[sup 2]/V s with a carrier concentration around 6×10[sup 18] cm[sup -3]. We also studied the electrical properties of the a-plane InN as a function of film thickness. In contrast to c-plane InN grown on c-plane sapphire, we did not observe apparent improvement of electrical properties of a-plane InN by growing thicker films. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

This assumption was tested using ab initio quantum mechanical calculations of elastic stress as a function of elastic strain and compression. Except for face-centered-cubic elements, the mean pressure varied significantly with shear strain as well as compression. In general, the shear stress did not increase monotonically with elastic shear strain. These phenomena may be important when comparing experimental data obtained on different time scales, particularly when interpreting dynamic response data from short-pulse laser experiments. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Here, the combination of in situ Z-contrast imaging, electron energy loss spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of amorphous Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition shows that excess oxygen incorporated into the film routinely reacts with the Si substrate to form an amorphous SiO[sub 2] interface layer during postdeposition annealing. The intrinsic oxygen-rich environment of all films grown by such techniques and the necessity of postdeposition processing in device applications implies that control and optimization of the SiO[sub 2] interface layers could be of utmost interest for high-κ dielectric stacked structures. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2003/08/11/ VL - 83 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1207 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - Vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) have been grown using a low-pressure, plasma-enhanced, chemical vapor deposition process. The nanofibers are grown from a nickel catalyst that can be patterned to form arrays of individual, isolated VACNFs. The fibers are grown at pressures below 100 mTorr, using an inductively coupled plasma source with a radio-frequency bias on the sample substrate to allow for independent control of the ion energies. Plasma conditions are related to growth results by comparing optical emission from the plasma to the physical structure of the nanofibers. We find that the ratio of etching species in the plasma to depositing species is critical to the final shape of the carbon structures that are formed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the two compounds crystallize in an orthorhombic system, MgCuAI[sub 2] type (Cmcm, Z = 4, a = 4.486(2), 4.491(3) Å, b = 10.991(5), 10.990(6) Å, c = 8.154(1), 8.140(4) Å for SrPdTI[sub 2], and SrPtTI[sub 2], respectively). The structure can be directly derived from that of hexagonal SrTl[sub 2] (CaIn[sub 2] type) in which four-bonded thallium atoms in shared puckered hexagons generate tunnels. The Pd or Pt is encapsulated (with symmetry reduction) on the side of each tunnel within a distorted trigonal prism. Band structure calculations (EHTB) on both SrTI[sub 2] and SrPdTI[sub 2] demonstrate the effects of the conversion, with strong Pd-TI bonding and appreciable electron transfer from TI to Pd. Property measurements show that SrPdTl[sub 2] is metallic, as expected.

This is a particular problem because most phase identifications or structure determinations have traditionally depended on X-ray diffraction means. Extended investigations have established that the alkaline-earth metals, plus some other divalent metals, have evidently often contributed substantial amounts of hydrogen, and this feature has led to numerous erroneous reports of supposed binary phases that form with the main-group (p) elements. Methods of detection and some ready means to avoid these problems will be described. The particularly serious examples that occur among phases reported with β-Yb5Sb3, Mn5Si3, and Cr5B3-type binary structures for pnictogen (As–Bi) and tetrel (Si–Pb) elements are detailed for 32 examples. Fluoride has proven to be useful as a stand-in for hydride in a variety of these systems.

In this paper we demonstrate that TiCl2, TiF3, and TiBr4 all effectively improve sorption kinetics. Arrhenius data indicate that the catalyst precursors behave in essentially the same manner. Evidently the valency of Ti in the catalyst-precursor is inconsequential to the role of Ti in altering the kinetic mechanism. The formation of TiAl3 on doping with TiCl3 has been observed. The presence of TiAl3 appears to contribute in part to the enhanced kinetics in these systems.

Sample materials were produced using approaches based on direct-synthesis and dry Ti-doping methods. It is desirable to introduce Ti through non-reactive processes to avoid the hydrogen capacity loss that occurs through the formation of inactive byproducts (for example Na–halide from the decomposition of Ti–halides and Na–oxides from the decomposition of Ti–alkoxides). We show, for the first time, that alanates can be Ti-doped using TiH2 or through indirect-doping by pre-reacting TiCl2 with LiH. Both methods result in enhanced kinetics. However, improved rates were achieved only after a prolonged activation period of about a 10 cycles, suggesting that cycling leads to Ti diffusion and substitution into the alanate lattice which provides the mechanism through which Ti-doping enhances kinetics. Thus, the reactive decomposition of Ti–halide and alkoxide precursors in the doping process serves an important but not necessarily required function.

The radiographs, acquired by a set of individually gated CCD cameras, are normalized (“flattened”) using CCD images of the raw beam. However, movement of the beam centroid from pulse to pulse introduces errors in this image normalization process. The ion chamber operates in a burst mode and provides measurements of beam centroid location on a pulse-to-pulse basis. Performance was tested for pulse time separations as low as 358 ns. The chamber makes possible flattening of dynamic CCD images on a per pulse basis and substantially reduces normalization errors due to beam movement.

To this end, we implemented an experimental technique to convert para- to ortho-deuterium molecules by flowing D2 gas through a cryogenic cell filled with paramagnetic hydrous ferric oxide granules. This process efficiently reduced the para-D2 concentration from 33.3% to 1.5%. Rotational Raman spectroscopy was applied to measure the residual para-D2 contamination to better than 2 parts in 103, and the hydrogen contamination to 1 part in 103. We also contrast our optical technique to conventional thermal conductivity measurements of the para-D2 concentration, reporting some of the relevant strengths and weaknesses of our implementation of each technique.

We include the full next-to-leading order radiative corrections, O(αs3), and nuclear effects such as parton energy loss and nuclear shadowing. We find the next-to-leading order corrections and the parton energy loss effect to be large and pT-dependent, while the nuclear shadowing effects are small (<10%). We calculate the ratio of prompt photons to neutral pions produced in heavy-ion collisions and show that at RHIC energies this ratio increases with pT approaching one at pT∼8 GeV, due to the large suppression of π0 production. We show that at the LHC, this ratio has a steep pT-dependence and approaches 25% effect at pT∼40 GeV. We discuss theoretical uncertainties inherent in our calculation, such as choice of the renormalization, factorization and fragmentation scales and the K-factors which signify the size of higher-order corrections.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/08/12/ VL - 42 IS - 31 M3 - Article SP - 9257 EP - 9262 SN - 00062960 AB - Single-stranded DNA genomes have been constructed that site-specifically contain the 7,8dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanine (8-oxoG) oxidation products guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and the two stable stereoisomers of spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp1 and Sp2). The circular viral genomes were transfected into wild-type AB1157 Escherichia coli, and the efficiency of lesion bypass by DNA polymerase(s) was assessed. Viral progeny were analyzed for mutation frequency and type using the recently developed restriction endonuclease and postlabeling (REAP) assay. Gh was bypassed nearly as efficiently as the parent 8-oxoG but was highly mutagenic, causing almost exclusive G → C transversions. The stereoisomers Sp1 and Sp2 were, in comparison, much stronger blocks to DNA polymerase extension and caused a mixture of G → T and G → C transversions. The ratio of G → T to G → C mutations for each Sp lesion was dependent on the stereochemical configuration of the base. All observed mutation frequencies were at least an order of magnitude higher than those caused by 8-oxoG. Were these lesions to be formed in vivo, our data show that they are absolutely miscoding and may be refractory to repair after translesion synthesis.

T1 - Structure-Function Studies of Human Apolipoprotein A-V: A Regulator of Plasma Lipid Homeostasis. JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/08/12/ VL - 42 IS - 31 M3 - Article SP - 9416 EP - 9423 SN - 00062960 AB - To investigate structure and function relations of a new member of the exchangeable apolipoprotein family that modulates plasma lipid levels, recombinant human apolipoprotein (apo) A-V was produced in Escherichia coli and isolated by a combination of nickel chelation affinity chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC. Antibodies directed against apoA-V were generated and employed in immunoblotting experiments. Anti-apoA-V IgG gave a strong response against recombinant apoA-V from E. coli and human apoA-V expressed in transgenic mice, but did not recognize human apoA-I or apoAIV. In neutral-pH buffers, at concentrations of >0.1 mg/mL, isolated lipid-free apoA-V is poorly soluble. By contrast, apoA-V is soluble in 50 mM sodium citrate (pH 3.0). Far-UV circular dichroism analysis and spectral deconvolution reveal that apoA-V possesses 32% α-helix, 33% β-sheet, 16% β-turn, and 18% random coil secondary structure conformers. Temperature-induced denaturation studies gave rise to a transition midpoint of 47.1 °C. Upon being cooled to ambient temperature from 85 °C, apoA-V failed to recover all of the negative ellipticity present in unheated apoA-V. ApoA-V interacts with bilayer vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine to form discoidal complexes with diameters in the range of 15-20 nm. However, apoA-V was a poor activator of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase where the activity was 8.5 ± 1.8% of that of apoA-I. Furthermore, apoA-V failed to support enhanced efflux of cholesterol from cAMP-treated J774 macrophages, although low levels of efflux were obtained from unstimulated cells. Taken together, the results demonstrate recombinant apoA-V possesses unique structural and functional characteristics, in keeping with its proposed role in the modulation of plasma lipid levels.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2003/08/13/ VL - 125 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 9787 EP - 9786 SN - 00027863 AB - The ground- and excited-state metal-ligand dynamics of nonplanar nickel(lI) 2,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,15,17,18,20-dodecaphenylporphyrin (NiDPP) and two fluorinated analogues (NiF[sub 20]DPP and NiF[sub 28]DPP) have been investigated using static and time-resolved absorption spectroscopy in toluene and in ligating media that differ in basicity, aromaticity, and steric encumbrance. Because of the electronic and steric consequences of nonplanarity, NiDPP does not bind axial ligands in the ground state, but metal coordination does occur after photoexcitation with multistep dynamics that depend on the properties of the ligand. Following the structural relaxations that occur in all nickel porphyrins within ∼10 ps, ligand binding to photoexcited NiDPP is progressively longer in pyridine, piperidine, and 3,5-lutidine (25-100 ps) but does not occur at all in 2,6-lutidine in which the ligating nitrogen is sterically encumbered. The transient intermediate that is formed, which nominally could be either a five- or six-coordinate species, also has a ligand-dependent lifetime (200-550 ps). Decay of this intermediate occurs partially via ligand release to re-form the uncoordinated species, in competition with binding of the second axial ligand and/or conformational/electronic relaxations (of a six-coordinate intermediate) to give the ground state of the bisligated photoproduct. The finding that the photoproduct channel principally depends on ligand characteristics along with the time-evolving spectra suggests that the transient intermediate may involve a five-coordinate species. In contrast to NiDPP, the fluorinated analogues NiF[sub 20]DPP and NiF[sub 28]DPP do coordinate axial ligands in the ground state but eject them after photoexcitation. Collectively, these results demonstrate the sensitivity with which the electronic and structural characteristics of the macrocycle, substituents, and solvent (ligands) can govern the photophysical and photochemical properties of nonplanar porphyrins and open new avenues for exploring photoinduced ligand association and dissociation behavior.

JO - FEBS Letters JF - FEBS Letters Y1 - 2003/08/14/ VL - 549 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 171 SN - 00145793 AB - DJ-1 is a protein involved in multiple physiological processes, including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and male fertility. It is unknown how DJ-1 functions in the apparently different systems. The crystal structure of DJ-1 at 1.6 A˚ resolution shows that DJ-1 is a helix-strand-helix sandwich and forms a dimer. The DJ-1 structure is similar to the members of the intracellular protease PfpI family. However, the catalytic triad of Cys–His–Glu is not strictly conserved in DJ-1, implying that DJ-1 has a different catalytic mechanism if it acts as a protease or DJ-1 serves as a regulatory protein in the physiological processes. The structure shows that Leu166 positions in the middle of a helix and thus predicts that the L166P mutation will bend the helix and impact the dimerization of DJ-1. As a result, the conformational changes may diminish the DJ-1 binding with its partner, leading to the familial Parkinson’s disease caused by the single L166P mutation.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/08/14/ VL - 107 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 6183 EP - 6190 SN - 10895639 AB - The gas-phase hydrolysis of thionyl chloride (SOCl2) has been investigated at 297 and 309 K in a mixing chamber using FTIR spectroscopy. Reagent concentrations of ~80 ppmv SOCl2 at relative humidities (RH) of 1-63% were studied at 309 K, while humidities of 1-85% were used in the 297 K studies, all at a total pressure of ~1 atm in synthetic air. In each experiment, an aliquot of SOCl2(g) was rapidly introduced into a chamber at fixed RH, quickly reaching a maximum and then decreasing exponentially, as monitored by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The only observed reaction products were HCl(g) and SO2(g), which were formed in a molar ratio of ~2:1. The SOCl2 decay data are consistent with, but do not prove, the reaction being a gas-phase hydrolysis that is first order in both SOCl2 and H2O, with the RH-dependent decay data indirectly suggesting the first-order dependence on H2O(g). The 297 K rate constant was measured as (6.3 ± 3.5) × 10-21 cm3/molecule-s. Confirming previous results, SOCl2 absorbed only at λ < 290 nm, which suggests hydrolysis as the main loss mechanism in the troposphere at typical temperatures and humidities.

Their distinctive feature is a conserved 500 amino acid semaphorin domain, a ligand-receptor interaction module also present in plexins and scatter-factor receptors. We report the crystal structure of a secreted 65 kDa form of Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), containing the full semaphorin domain. Unexpectedly, the semaphorin fold is a variation of the β propeller topology. Analysis of the Sema3A structure and structure-based mutagenesis data identify the neuropilin binding site and suggest a potential plexin interaction site. Based on the structure, we present a model for the initiation of semaphorin signaling and discuss potential similarities with the signaling mechanisms of other β propeller cell surface receptors, such as integrins and the LDL receptor.

Our previous studies of p53(+) immortal HMEC lines indicated that overcoming the stringent replicative senescence step associated with critically short telomeres (agonescence), produced indefinite lifespan lines that maintained growth without immediately expressing telomerase activity. These telomerase(-) ‘conditionally immortal’ HMEC underwent an additional step, termed conversion, to become fully immortal telomerase(+) lines with uniform good growth. The very gradual conversion process was associated with slow heterogeneous growth and high expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57Kip2. We now show that p53 suppresses telomerase activity and is necessary for the p57 expression in early passage p53(+) conditionally immortal HMEC lines, and that p53(-/-) lines exhibit telomerase reactivation and attain full immortality much more rapidly. A p53-inhibiting genetic suppressor element introduced into early passages of a conditionally immortal telomerase(-) p53(+) HMEC line led to rapid induction of hTERT mRNA, expression of telomerase activity, loss of p57 expression, and quick attainment of uniform good growth. These studies indicate that derangements in p53 function may impact malignant progression through direct effects on the conversion process, a potentially rate-limiting step in HMEC acquisition of uniform unlimited growth potential. These studies also provide evidence that the function of p53 in suppression of telomerase activity is separable from its cell cycle checkpoint function.Oncogene (2003) 22, 5238-5251. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1206667 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The amplitudes for scattering on the proton and the deuteron, calculated to fourth order in small momenta in chiral perturbation theory, contain four undetermined parameters that are in one-to-one correspondence with the nucleon polarizabilities. These polarizabilities are extracted from fits to data on elastic photon scattering on hydrogen and deuterium. For the proton we find: αp=(12.1±1.1)−0.5+0.5×10−4 fm3, βp=(3.4±1.1)−0.1+0.1×10−4 fm3. For the isoscalar polarizabilities we obtain: αN=(9.0±1.5)−0.8+3.6×10−4 fm3, βN=(1.7±1.5)−0.6+1.4×10−4 fm3.

We analyze in detail the mechanisms of dislocation–dislocation and dislocation–twin boundary reactions that take place under sufficiently high stress. These reactions are shown to lead to the formation of complex twin networks, i.e. structures of coherent twin boundaries connected by stair-rod dislocations. Consistent with recent experimental observations, these twin networks may cause dislocation pile-ups and thus give rise to strain hardening.

In this study, high energy X-ray microdiffraction was used to measure the lattice strains of both phases in a Ti–SiC fiber composite laminate. The data provided in situ load transfer information under applied tensile stress at the scale of the microstructure. To better understand damage evolution, predictions of a modified shear lag model were compared to the strain data. This comparison (1) demonstrated the importance of accounting for the matrix axial and shear stiffness, (2) optimized the stiffness ratio for load transfer, and (3) improved the interpretation of the ideal planar geometry commonly used in micromechanical composite models. In addition, the results proved the matrix within and around the damage zone sustained substantial axial load and locally yielded. It was also shown that an area detector is essential in such a diffraction study as it provides multi-axial strain data and helps eliminate the “graininess” problem.

The most southerly and northerly latitudes (80.2°) were reached by Ulysses in November 2000 and October 2001, respectively. These two periods were characterized by high levels of solar activity. During its passage through the highest southern latitudes, Ulysses encountered complex magnetic field and solar wind configurations, with numerous energetic particle events of either solar origin or associated with solar wind stream interaction regions. By contrast, during its high northern latitude passage, Ulysses remained immersed in the high-speed (∼700 km s−1) solar wind coronal hole flow bearing magnetic field of negative polarity and detected three intense solar energetic particle (SEP) events. We correlate observations from Ulysses at high heliographic latitudes with 1 AU measurements in the ecliptic from the ACE spacecraft. Large SEP events were observed simultaneously by both spacecraft. Periods with comparable particle intensities at ACE and Ulysses occurred during the decay phase of large SEP events. We discuss the formation of these periods of nearly identical particle intensities (i.e., “reservoirs”) in terms of both fresh injections of solar energetic particles and the formation of compressed magnetic field regions in the heliosphere beyond the Earth orbit (∼2–5 AU). We discuss the implications of these observations for models of solar energetic particle propagation to both high and low heliographic latitudes.

We use 0.5–1.0 MeV nucleon−1 proton and helium intensities observed by the Ulysses spacecraft at both high and low heliographic latitudes. Ulysses observations show that during solar maximum the 0.5–1.0 MeV nucleon−1 SHAPE="SOL" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">HHe intensity ratios are, on average, higher than during solar minimum. Under solar minimum conditions the interaction between slow and fast solar wind streams is strong, producing long-lasting and stable corotating interaction regions (CIRs) which are efficient accelerators of pickup He+. During solar maximum, transient events of solar origin (characterized by high SHAPE="SOL" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">HHe ratios) are able to globally fill the heliosphere. In addition, the absence of large and stable coronal holes results in a lack of recurrent strong corotating solar wind interactions, and consequently a less efficient acceleration of pickup He+. Even when solar wind stream interaction regions (SIRS) are observed, the SHAPE="SOL" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">HHe intensity ratio during solar maximum rarely decreases to the low (∼6) values typically observed during solar minimum CIR events. The latest data collected by Ulysses during its solar maximum descent from northern polar latitudes (mid-2002) show nearly-recurrent CIR events, which occasionally decrease the H/He ratios to these low (∼6) values. The still frequent occurrence of SEP events, however, produces increases of the H/He intensity ratios to high (∼30) values. Although SEP events still dominate the particle population in the inner heliosphere, the low SHAPE="SOL" ALIGN="C" STYLE="S">HHe ratios observed in these specific CIR events suggest an efficient acceleration of pickup He+ rather than the acceleration of remnant SEP material.

Two light emitting diodes (LED) provide greater than 1 mW of electrical power at wavelengths of 490 nm (blue) and 525 nm (green), allowing detection of the dyes FAM and JOE/TAMRA. Results are displayed in real time as bar graphs, and up to three, 4-sample assays can be run on the charge of the 12 V portable battery pack. The HANAA was evaluated for detection of defined Escherichia coli strains, and wild-type colonies isolated from stream water, using PCR for the lac Z and Tir genes. PCR reactions using SYBR Green dye allowed detection of E. coli ATCC 11775 and E. coli O157:H7 cells in under 30 min of assay time; however, background fluorescence associated with dye binding to nonspecific PCR products was present. DNA extracted from three isolates of Bacillus anthracis Ames, linked to a bioterrorism incident in Washington DC in October 2001, were also successfully tested on the HANAA using primers for the vrrA and capA genes. Positive results were observed at 32 and 22 min of assay time, respectively. A TaqMan probe specific to the aroQ gene of Erwinia herbicola was tested on the HANAA and when 500 cells were used as template, positive results were observed after only 7 min of assay time. Background fluorescence associated with the use of the probe was negligible. The HANAA is unique in offering real time PCR in a handheld format suitable for field use; a commercial version of the instrument, offering six reaction chambers, is available as of Fall 2002.

Geometric and engineering constraints often prevent spinning at this specific angle. Implementations of magic angle field rotation are extremely demanding due to power requirements or an inaccessible geometry. We present a methodology for taking the magic out of MAS while still obtaining both isotropic and anisotropic spectral information during sample spinning or field rotation at arbitrary angles. Using projected-MAS, we obtained resolved scaled isotropic chemical shifts in inhomogeneously broadened spinning samples.

JO - Earth Surface Processes & Landforms JF - Earth Surface Processes & Landforms Y1 - 2003/08/15/ VL - 28 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 925 EP - 950 SN - 01979337 AB - The growing availability of digital topographic data and the increased reliability of precipitation forecasts invite modelling efforts to predict the timing and location of shallow landslides in hilly and mountainous areas in order to reduce risk to an ever-expanding human population. Here, we exploit a rare data set to develop and test such a model. In a 1·7 km2 catchment a near-annual aerial photographic coverage records just three single storm events over a 45 year period that produced multiple landslides. Such data enable us to test model performance by running the entire rainfall time series and determine whether just those three storms are correctly detected. To do this, we link a dynamic and spatially distributed shallow subsurface runoff model (similar to TOPMODEL) to an infinite slope model to predict the spatial distribution of shallow landsliding. The spatial distribution of soil depth, a strong control on local landsliding, is predicted from a process-based model. Because of its common availability, daily rainfall data were used to drive the model. Topographic data were derived from digitized 1 : 24 000 US Geological Survey contour maps. Analysis of the landslides shows that 97 occurred in 1955, 37 in 1982 and five in 1998, although the heaviest rainfall was in 1982. Furthermore, intensity–duration analysis of available daily and hourly rainfall from the closest raingauges does not discriminate those three storms from others that did not generate failures. We explore the question of whether a mechanistic modelling approach is better able to identify landslide-producing storms. Landslide and soil production parameters were fixed from studies elsewhere. Four hydrologic parameters characterizing the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil and underlying bedrock and its decline with depth were first calibrated on the 1955 landslide record. Success was characterized as the most number of actual landslides predicted with the least amount of total area predicted to be unstable. Because landslide area was consistently overpredicted, a threshold catchment area of predicted slope instability was used to define whether a rainstorm was a significant landslide producer. Many combinations of the four hydrological parameters performed equally well for the 1955 event, but only one combination successfully identified the 1982 storm as the only landslide-producing storm during the period 1980–86. Application of this parameter combination to the entire 45 year record successfully identified the three events, but also predicted that two other landslide-producing events should have occurred. This performance is significantly better than the empirical intensity–duration threshold approach, but requires considerable calibration effort. Overprediction of instability, both for storms that produced landslides and for non-producing storms, appears to arise from at least four causes: (1) coarse rainfall data time scale and inability to document short rainfall bursts and predict pressure wave response; (2) absence of local rainfall data; (3) legacy effect of previous landslides; and (4) inaccurate topographic and soil property data. Greater resolution of spatial and rainfall data, as well as topographic data, coupled with systematic documentation of landslides to create time series to test models, should lead to significant improvements in shallow landslides forecasting.

We show that, depending on expression of the pRB regulator p16, replicative senescence is not necessarily irreversible. We used lentiviruses to express specific viral and cellular proteins in senescent human fibroblasts and mammary epithelial cells. Expression of telomerase did not reverse the senescence arrest. However, cells with low levels of p16 at senescence resumed robust growth upon p53 inactivation, and limited growth upon expression of oncogenic RAS. In contrast, cells with high levels of p16 at senescence failed to proliferate upon p53 inactivation or RAS expression, although they re-entered the cell cycle without growth after pRB inactivation. Our results indicate that the senescence response to telomere dysfunction is reversible and is maintained primarily by p53. However, p16 provides a dominant second barrier to the unlimited growth of human cells.

Pristine sediments and ones that were contaminated by the accidental release of alkaline 137Cs+-containing high level nuclear wastes (HLW, 2 × 106 to 6 × 107 pCi 137Cs+/g) were studied. The desorption of 137Cs+ was measured in Na+, K+, Rb+, and NH4+electrolytes of variable concentration and pH, and in presence of a strong Cs+-specific sorbent (self-assembled monolayer on a mesoporous support, SAMMS). 137Cs+ desorption from the HLW-contaminated Hanford sediments exhibited two distinct phases: an initial instantaneous release followed by a slow kinetic process. The extent of 137Cs+ desorption increased with increasing electrolyte concentration and followed a trend of Rb+ ≥ K+ > Na+ at circumneutral pH. This trend followed the respective selectivities of these cations for the sediment. The extent and rate of 137Cs+ desorption was influenced by surface armoring, intraparticle diffusion, and the collapse of edge-interlayer sites in solutions containing K+, Rb+, or NH4+. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed HLW-induced precipitation of secondary aluminosilicates on the edges and basal planes of micaceous minerals that were primary Cs+ sorbents. The removal of these precipitates by acidified ammonium oxalate extraction significantly increased the long-term desorption rate and extent. X-ray microprobe analyses of Cs+-sorbed micas showed that the 137Cs+ distributed not only on mica edges, but also within internal channels parallel to the basal plane, implying intraparticle diffusive migration of 137Cs+. Controlled desorption experiments using Cs+-spiked pristine sediment indicated that the 137Cs+ diffusion rate was fast in Na+-electrolyte, but much slower in the presence of K+ or Rb+, suggesting an effect of edge-interlayer collapse. An intraparticle diffusion model coupled with a two-site cation exchange model was used to interpret the experimental results. Model simulations suggested that about 40% of total sorbed 137Cs+ was exchangeable, including equilibrium and kinetic desorbable pools. At pH 3, this ratio increased to 60–80%. The remainder of the sorbed 137Cs+ was fixed or desorbed at much slower rate than our experiments could detect.

The microbial reduction of Fe (hydr)oxides and the subsequent secondary solid-phase transformations will, therefore, have a profound influence on the biogeochemical cycling of Fe as well as associated metals. Here we elucidate the pathways and mechanisms of secondary mineralization during dissimilatory iron reduction by a common iron-reducing bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens (strain CN32), of 2-line ferrihydrite under advective flow conditions. Secondary mineralization of ferrihydrite occurs via a coupled, biotic-abiotic pathway primarily resulting in the production of magnetite and goethite with minor amounts of green rust. Operating mineralization pathways are driven by competing abiotic reactions of bacterially generated ferrous iron with the ferrihydrite surface. Subsequent to the initial sorption of ferrous iron on ferrihydrite, goethite (via dissolution/reprecipitation) and/or magnetite (via solid-state conversion) precipitation ensues resulting in the spatial coupling of both goethite and magnetite with the ferrihydrite surface. The distribution of goethite and magnetite within the column is dictated, in large part, by flow-induced ferrous Fe profiles. While goethite precipitation occurs over a large Fe(II) concentration range, magnetite accumulation is only observed at concentrations exceeding 0.3 mmol/L (equivalent to 0.5 mmol Fe[II]/g ferrihydrite) following 16 d of reaction. Consequently, transport-regulated ferrous Fe profiles result in a progression of magnetite levels downgradient within the column. Declining microbial reduction over time results in lower Fe(II) concentrations and a subsequent shift in magnetite precipitation mechanisms from nucleation to crystal growth. While the initial precipitation rate of goethite exceeds that of magnetite, continued growth is inhibited by magnetite formation, potentially a result of lower Fe(III) activity. Conversely, the presence of lower initial Fe(II) concentrations followed by higher concentrations promotes goethite accumulation and inhibits magnetite precipitation even when Fe(II) concentrations later increase, thus revealing the importance of both the rate of Fe(II) generation and flow-induced Fe(II) profiles. As such, the operating secondary mineralization pathways following reductive dissolution of ferrihydrite at a given pH are governed principally by flow-regulated Fe(II) concentration, which drives mineral precipitation kinetics and selection of competing mineral pathways.

I. Assessment and calculation of mutual solubilities from 12 to 100°C and up to 600 bar JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2003/08/15/ VL - 67 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 3015 SN - 00167037 AB - Evaluating the feasibility of CO2 geologic sequestration requires the use of pressure-temperature-composition (P-T-X) data for mixtures of CO2 and H2O at moderate pressures and temperatures (typically below 500 bar and below 100°C). For this purpose, published experimental P-T-X data in this temperature and pressure range are reviewed. These data cover the two-phase region where a CO2-rich phase (generally gas) and an H2O-rich liquid coexist and are reported as the mutual solubilities of H2O and CO2 in the two coexisting phases. For the most part, mutual solubilities reported from various sources are in good agreement. In this paper, a noniterative procedure is presented to calculate the composition of the compressed CO2 and liquid H2O phases at equilibrium, based on equating chemical potentials and using the Redlich-Kwong equation of state to express departure from ideal behavior. The procedure is an extension of that used by King et al. (1992), covering a broader range of temperatures and experimental data than those authors, and is readily expandable to a nonideal liquid phase. The calculation method and formulation are kept as simple as possible to avoid degrading the performance of numerical models of water-CO2 flows for which they are intended. The method is implemented in a computer routine, and inverse modeling is used to determine, simultaneously, (1) new Redlich-Kwong parameters for the CO2-H2O mixture, and (2) aqueous solubility constants for gaseous and liquid CO2 as a function of temperature. In doing so, mutual solubilities of H2O from 15 to 100°C and CO2 from 12 to 110°C and up to 600 bar are generally reproduced within a few percent of experimental values. Fugacity coefficients of pure CO2 are reproduced mostly within one percent of published reference data.

Reactions of Am+ and AmO+ with the oxidants N2O, C2H4O (ethylene oxide), H2O, O2, CO2, and NO have been studied. Am+ formed AmO+ with all the reagents except NO, while AmO+ only reacted with C2H4O to form AmO2+ and other products. These results allowed us to estimate the previously unknown Am+&z.sbnd;O and OAm+&z.sbnd;O bond dissociation energies. The ionization energies (IE) of AmO and AmO2 could also be determined by two different types of experiments: charge-transfer “bracketing” with AmO2+, yielding IE(AmO2)=7.23±0.15 eV, and AmO+ reactivity with dienes, following a model developed by Helmut Schwarz and coworkers, leading to IE(AmO)=5.9±0.2 eV. With this last method, we were also able to resolve the disagreement between the two literature values for the ionization energy of PuO.

Three energetically distinct dissociation processes contribute to total dissociation in this energy range. At all energies there is a common dissociation pathway involving loss of nearly all of the parent ion’s kinetic energy in the collision process. Fragment ions resulting from this dissociation mechanism are scattered over a wide range of angles. The second pathway, observed at 25.2 and 49.6 eV kinetic energy is delayed dissociation of collisionally excited acetone cations after only a small fraction of the ion’s kinetic energy is lost in the collision process. Fragment ions resulting from this unique dynamics feature are scattered close to the surface parallel. These dissociations take place after the excited ions have passed through the collision region and the energy analyzer and prior to their entering the mass analyzer. At 49.6 eV kinetic energy, a small intensity fragment ion peak appears at intermediate kinetic energy spectra between the low energy loss and the highly inelastic scattering peaks.

In addition to w ions, entire, and in some cases multiple, cleavages of amino acid side chains from backbone fragments are observed. Extensive water loss from backbone fragments is observed for the glycine-rich peptides. For Leu4-Ala-Leu3-Lys, the preferred fragmentation channel is cleavage of the amide bond to produce b7 and b8 ions. ECD of Gly3-Pro-Sar-Gly3-Lys-NH2 results in amine bond (c/z) cleavage in the proline residue accompanied by C&z.sbnd;C (or secondary N&z.sbnd;C) cleavage in the proline side chain. That fragmentation channel has not been observed previously. The peptides were also subjected to “hot” electron capture dissociation (HECD) and the resulting spectra differed markedly from those obtained under standard ECD conditions. In contrast to HECD, secondary fragmentation observed under standard ECD conditions cannot be attributed to excess energy arising from the kinetic energy of the electrons prior to capture. The results suggest that the fragmentation channels available following electron capture depend somewhat on the individual peptide structure and have mechanistic implications.

CID channels of each dianion were analyzed by MS/MS experiments at different collision energies. Two CID channels were observed for these dianions: symmetric fission and electron detachment. The most interesting observation is the symmetric fission of [Fe4S4X4]2− into two identical daughter ions, [Fe2S2X2]−. The important role of the intramolecular coulomb repulsion in the symmetric fission was shown by comparing with CID of the singly-charged anions, [Fe4S4X4]−. Our gas-phase experiments suggest that solution phase conversions between [Fe4S4] and [Fe2S2] assemblies in proteins may also involve related fission chemistry with reactive [Fe2S2X2]− intermediates.

Directionality in the model allows simulation of weakening to tension applied in one direction, without weakening to subsequent tension applied in perpendicular directions. The model is developed within the context of a properly invariant non-linear thermomechanical theory. Specifically, it is shown how the model can be combined with general constitutive equations for porous compaction and dilation, as well as viscoplasticity. The thermoelastic response is hyperelastic, with the stress being determined by derivatives of the Helmholtz free energy, and the material is considered to be elastically isotropic. In particular, it is assumed that the rate of inelasticity due to tensile failure is coaxial with the tensor measure of elastic deformation (and hence stress). This causes the rate of dissipation to take a particularly simple form which can be shown to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics. A numerical procedure for integrating these evolution equations is proposed and a number of examples are considered to explore the response of the model to different loading histories.

The H configurations and formation energies are similar to previous DFT results obtained using the local-density approximation (LDA) for exchange and correlation with the most notable differences being higher formation energies for H[SUP0] (0.2 eV) (and H[SUB2] (0.1 eV) in the GGA calculations and a preference for H[SUP+] at a bond-centered site. GGA H migration barriers differ from LDA values with the largest differences being 0.4 eV higher GGA H[SUP+] migration barriers. Refined measurements of field-induced H[SUP+] drift in GaN p/n[SUP+] diodes have also been performed. Modeling of these results indicates that the sum of the H[SUP+] diffusion activation energy and the H[SUP+] binding energy to ionized Mg acceptors is 1.76 eV. The corresponding GGA result (1.6 eV) is in good agreement with the measured value.

A planar, ramp compression wave, generated by a large magnetic field, propagates through a planar copper base plate. Part of the rear surface of the base plate is a free surface and part is covered with a sapphire window. Comparisons are made of velocity histories measured simultaneously at the free surface and at the copper/sapphire interface using a velocity interferometer system for any reflector (VISAR). This is sufficient to determine the index of refraction of the sapphire continuously as a function of density. Perturbations to the compression waves caused by interactions with the free surface and with the sapphire are accounted for by backward or forward solutions to the equations of motion. The effect of the unsteady nature of the compression wave in sapphire on the interferometry measurements is also taken into account. Results validate the interpretation of VISAR measurements on continuous loading experiments performed with optical windows. The measured index of refraction of sapphire agrees with previous studies validating this experimental technique and showing that it is useful for studying other materials for which index of refraction data do not exist. In addition, measured compression isentropes for copper and sapphire compare favorably with existing theoretical models.

The effect of deposition conditions on the film phase was studied extensively. The stable γ phase nucleates homogeneously in the film bulk and has a high resistivity, while the metastable k phase nucleates at the film surface and has a moderate resistivity. The microstructures of polycrystalline hot-deposited and postannealed, cold-deposited γ films are quite different but their electronic properties are similar. The increase in the resistivity of amorphous In[SUB2]Se[SUB3] films upon annealing is interpreted in terms of the replacement of In-In bonds with In-Se bonds during crystallization. Great care must be taken in the preparation of In[SUB2]Se[SUB3] films for electrical measurements as the presence of excess chalcogen or surface oxidation may greatly affect the film properties.

Spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to measure the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric functions. There is a distinct micro/nanostructural transition from single-phase columnar body-centered-cubic (bcc) grains for partial pressure (pp) of nitrogen in sputtering gas ⩽4% to a two-phase nanocomposite of equiaxed bcc nanograins in an amorphous matrix for films deposited with ⩾5% pp N. To assess the effect of surface oxidation on the optical properties, optical measurements were repeated on the 2 and 5% pp N films (representative of the two different types of films with different structures) after they were sputter etched in situ while performing depth profiling of the chemical composition using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The low-nitrogen films (⩽4% pp N) showed a dielectric function typical of a metal whose charge carrier contribution can be described by a classical free electron Drude model. The nanostructured films (⩾5% pp N) showed a positive real part of the dielectric function ∊[SUB1] and no evidence of free-carrier plasmon excitation. The optical conductivity decreased and the dc resistivity increased by about a factor of 2.5 as the film structure changed from a single-phase columnar structure to the two-phase material that consisted of nanograins in an amorphous matrix.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2003/08/15/ VL - 278 IS - 33 M3 - Article SP - 30540 EP - 30547 SN - 00219258 AB - The regulation of cell growth and differentiation by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is mediated by the Smad proteins. In the nucleus, the Smad proteins are negatively regulated by two closely related nuclear proto-oncoproteins, Ski and SnoN. When overexpressed, Ski and SnoN induce oncogenic transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts. However, the mechanism of transformation by Ski and SnoN has not been defined. We have previously reported that Ski and SnoN interact directly with Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4 and repress their ability to activate TGF-β target genes through multiple mechanisms. Because Smad proteins are tumor suppressors, we hypothesized that the ability of Ski and SnoN to inactivate Smad function may be responsible for their transforming activity. Here, we show that the receptor regulated Smad proteins (Smad2 and Smad3) and common mediator Smad (Smad4) bind to different regions in Ski and SnoN. Mutation of both regions, but not each region alone, markedly impaired the ability of Ski and SnoN to repress TGF-β-induced transcriptional activation and cell cycle arrest. Moreover, when expressed in chicken embryo fibroblasts, mutant Ski or SnoN defective in binding to the Smad proteins failed to induce oncogenic transformation. These results suggest that the ability of Ski and SnoN to repress the growth inhibitory function of the Smad proteins is required for their transforming activity. This may account for the resistance to TGF-β-induced growth arrest in some human cancer cell lines that express high levels of Ski or SnoN.

These materials have high surface areas after calcination at 773 K (ranging from 150 to 450 m2 g−1) and do not exhibit phase separation of Cr2O3 domains after calcination at 1473 K (by PXRD). The as-synthesized Cr/Si/M materials contain mostly octahedral Cr3+ species with small amounts of tetrahedral Cr6+ chromates (by DRUV–vis and XANES spectroscopies). Only Cr6+ monochromate centers, with smaller amounts of di- and polychromate species, were detected after calcination at 773 K under O2. These catalysts are active for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane; however, they exhibit poor selectivities for propylene production. In contrast, these catalysts exhibit high selectivities for propylene (>95%) in the nonoxidative dehydrogenation (DH) of propane with conversions for the best catalyst above 35% at 723 K.

We observed hydrated oxalate clusters, C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4] (H[SUB2]O)[SUBn] for n=3-40, using electrospray ionization of an oxalate salt solution and studied their energetics and stabilities using photodetachment photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. We found that the smallest observable solvated cluster, C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4](H[SUB2]O)[SUB3], has an adiabatic electron binding energy of ∼ 0.0 eV, i.e., a minimum of three H[SUB2]O is required to stabilize C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4] in the gas phase. Theoretical calculations show that the first four waters bind tightly to C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4], each forming two H-bonds with C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4] peripherally without interwater H-bonding. The charges of the dianion were stabilized sufficiently that additional waters beyond n=4 form only single H-bonds with C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4] and interwater H-bonding was observed starting at n=5. The repulsive Coulomb barrier, characteristic of multiply-charged anions, was estimated from photon energy-dependent spectra for the smaller clusters and was found to decrease with increasing n. We observed that photoelectron intensities for features of the solute decreased as n increased, whereas detachment signals from the solvent became dominant for the large solvated clusters. This observation suggested that C[SUB2]O[SUP2-],[SUB4] is situated in the center of the solvated clusters so that electrons detached from the solute were suppressed by the surrounding solvent layer.

The anisotropy is weak, but can be accurately resolved using this approach due to the sensitivity of the fluctuations on the anisotropy. We find that the anisotropy can be described well using two parameters, based upon a low-order expansion satisfying cubic symmetry. The results are in good agreement with previous calculations of the free energies, based upon simulations used to calculate the reversible work required to create the interfaces. The weak anisotropy is also in reasonable agreement: The work here and the work of Davidchack and Laird [R. L. Davidchack and B. B. Laird, J. Chem. Phys. 118, 7651 (2003)] both predict γ[SUB100]>&GAMMA;[SUB110]>γ[SUB111].

We have measured Ti 2p absorption, L[SUB2,3]-emission and)resonant inelastic scattering spectra of pristine anatase TiO[SUB2] and Li inserted TiO[SUB2]. Inelastic scattering features in RIXS spectra of pristine TiO[SUB2] are assigned to charge-transfer excitations. Low energy-loss features for Li inserted TiO[SUB2] electrodes, appearing within t[SUB2g] bands, due to d - d excitations, indicate the presence of Ti[SUP3+] states. The experimental observations suggest strong electron correlation in anatase TiO[SUB2] introduced by the Li-insertion.

The polymer is represented by a square-well chain. The interaction between a polymer segment and an oil-water interface is represented by an asymmetric square-well potential where the well-depth on one side reflects water-polymer and the well depth on the other side reflects oil-polymer interactions. To truncate the BGY hierarchy, we introduce two approximations: First we use the Markov-chain approximation for intra-molecular correlation functions, and second, we use the effective intra-molecular energy in the bulk to approximate that at the interface. The results are compared with Monte Carlo-simulation data. For short chains, when the attractive interaction between the segments is weak, the theory is in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulation. Stronger segment-segment attractive interactions increase adsorption.

Apparent critical behavior is observed upon lowering the temperature to precipitation phase boundaries that complements our earlier work on salt-dependent behavior. We interpret experimental deviations from &xi[SUP-2] versus T[SUP-1] as crossover from the mean field to the Ising universality class. We also measured the radius of gyration (R[SUBg]) of labeled chains and ξ for semidilute polyelectrolyte solutions at low ionic strengths. We recovered the familiar result of ξ scaling with polymer concentration (C[SUBp]) and degree of polymerization (N), such that ξ=(73&plus,n;9) N[SUP0]C[SUBp],[-0.48±0.03][Å] and using SANS high concentration labeling R[SUBg]=(400±28) C[SUBp],[SUP-0.24±0.01][Å] (for N=577) and R[SUBg]=(2.8±2.1)N[SUP0.6±0.1][Å] (for C[SUBp]=206 gL[SUP-1]), respectively. The indices recovered are in agreement with theoretical predictions for low ionic strength semidilute solutions. Such experiments offer insight into relatively unexplored phase behavior in charged macromolecular solutions.

Based on previous detailed dose assessments for Bikini, Enewetak, Rongelap, and Utirik Atolls over a period of 28 years, cesium-137 (137Cs) at Bikini Atoll contributes about 85–89% of the total estimated dose through the terrestrial food chain as a result of uptake of 137Cs by food crops. The estimated integral 30, 50, and 70-year doses were based on the radiological decay of 137Cs (30-year half-life) and other radionuclides. However, there is a continuing inventory of 137Cs and 90Sr in the fresh water portion of the groundwater at all contaminated atolls even though the turnover rate of the fresh groundwater is about 5 years. This is evidence that a portion of the soluble fraction of 137Cs and 90Sr inventory in the soil is lost by transport to groundwater when rainfall is heavy enough to cause recharge of the lens, resulting in loss of 137Cs from the soil column and root zone of the plants. This loss is in addition to that caused by radioactive decay. The effective rate of loss was determined by two methods: (1) indirectly, from time-dependent studies of the 137Cs concentration in leaves of Pisonia grandis, Guettarda specosia, Tournefortia argentea (also called Messerschmidia), Scaevola taccada, and fruit from Pandanus and coconut trees (Cocos nucifera L.), and (2) more directly, by evaluating the 137Cs/90Sr ratios at Bikini Atoll. The mean (and its lower and upper 95% confidence limits) for effective half-life and for environmental-loss half-life (ELH) based on all the trees studied on Rongelap, Bikini, and Enewetak Atolls are 8.5 years (8.0 years, 9.8 years), and 12 years (11 years, 15 years), respectively. The ELH based on the 137Cs/90Sr ratios in soil in 1987 relative to the137Cs/90Sr ratios at the time of deposition in 1954 is less than 17 years. The magnitude of the decrease below 17 years depends on the ELH for 90Sr that is currently unknown, but some loss of 90Sr does occur along with 137Cs. If the 15-year upper 95% confidence limit on ELH (corresponding to an effective half-life of 9.8 years) is incorporated into dose calculations projected over periods of 30, 50, or 70 years, then corresponding integral doses are 58, 46 and 41%, respectively, of those previously calculated based solely on radiological decay of 137Cs.

These large loop shifts are unexpected for a system with an antiferromagnetic anisotropy that is two orders of magnitude less than that of CoO. This magnetic behavior is attributed to the nanoscale nature of the crystallites that constitute the film, where the surface area to volume ratio is large enough so that a sizable surface magnetic contribution provides the necessary antiferromagnet to ferromagnet coupling for the large measured exchange bias.

The mixed Hamiltonian is mapped into an all-classical Hamiltonian that is amenable to a thermodynamic perturbation treatment for the calculation of free energies. A small number of statistically uncorrelated (solute–solvent) configurations are selected from the Monte Carlo random walk generated with the all-classical Hamiltonian approximation. Those are used in the averaging of the free energy using the mixed quantum/classical Hamiltonian. The methodology is illustrated for the micro-solvated SN2 substitution reaction of methyl chloride by hydroxide. We also compare the potential of mean force calculated with the above protocol with an approximate formalism, one in which the potential of mean force calculated with the all-classical Hamiltonian is simply added to the energy of the isolated (non-solvated) solute along the reaction path. Interestingly the latter approach is found to be in semi-quantitative agreement with the full mixed Hamiltonian approximation.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/08/15/ VL - 107 IS - 33 M3 - Article SP - 8327 EP - 8336 SN - 15206106 AB - We have investigated the structures of a series of pristine and Zn2+-impregnated aluminas following fluorination with HF, by using both solid-state NMR and X-ray powder diffraction methods. In the absence of any cation impregnation, α-AlF3 and small amounts of β-AlF3 are formed at a temperature of 400 °C with an HF/N2 ratio of 1/1. Even higher fractions of β-AlF3 are formed from the impregnated phases for HF levels of 30% and higher, along with a significant concentration of α-AlF3. In contrast, fluorination of Zn2+-impregnated γ-Al2O3 in dilute HF feeds resulted in formation of the aluminum (hydroxy)fluoride pyrochlore phase, AlF2OH, in significant quantities. Thus, even very low levels of transition metals (<2 wt %) appear to play an important role in controlling the phase formed during the fluorination reaction. The formation of the metastable β-AlF3 and pyrochlore phases, which both contain three- and six-membered Al rings, is ascribed to the presence of high concentrations of protons, either in the starting material or in the fluorinating agent. The pyrochlore phase is stabilized in the presence of Zn, presumably due to the vacant A site in this structure, which can accommodate Zn2+ ions more readily than the vacancies in the β-AlF3 structure. Basic probe molecules (dimethylphenylphosphine), in combination with 31P NMR, were used to study and quantify the surface acidic sites that are formed as a result of fluorination. On the basis of our work, we suggest that the Zn2+ ions are not directly implicated as catalytically active centers. The presence of Zn causes an associated increase in the concentration of coordinatively unsaturated aluminum sites, which can then act as the catalytically active centers for F/Cl exchange reactions.

Covalent anchoring of the type M-O-Si (M = Ru or Ni) is obtained by this method. The structure of the grafted complexes was studied by UV-vis, FT-IR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. [Ru(NH3)5Cl]2+ readily yielded monopodal grafting, while dehydration was needed in the case of [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to achieve substitution of a NH3 ligand with a siloxy group. The interaction of charge-compensating siloxy groups with remaining NH3 ligands further stabilized the grafted Ru(III) centers. Dipodal grafting of Ni(II) was obtained with [Ni(NH3)6-x(H2O)x]2+ (x = 1 or 2). Upon dehydration, the dipodally grafted Ni(II) complexes are converted in a reversible process to a tripodally anchored form through substitution of a H2O ligand by a silanol group. The formation of layered Ni silicate structures, a dominant product in the Ni grafted amorphous silica, was not observed. This demonstrates that simple coordination complexes can be used for accomplishing covalent attachment of isolated metal centers on a mesoporous silicate sieve in high yield. Grafting of Ni(II) onto MCM-41 containing isolated Ti(IV) centers resulted in the formation Ti(IV)-O-Ni(II) moieties, which are of special interest for photochemical applications.

The samples were strained to fracture at temperatures from room temperature to 1273 K. It was found that for deformation at intermediate temperatures, the dislocation microstructure was inhomogeneous due to the formation of dislocation concentrations with high-density tangling. These dislocation concentrations lie mainly along 〈1 0 0〉 or 〈1 1 0〉 directions, and extend over a length of a few micrometers. In addition, the structure of dislocation networks at the γ/γ′ interfaces formed at high temperature was also studied. Although previous studies have proposed basic configurations for these dislocation networks, the nature of a dislocation segment along the 〈0 1 0〉 direction was unresolved (Phil. Mag. A vol. 74 (1996) 229). In this work, high-resolution electron microscopy observation was used to study these dislocation networks. It was found that most of these segments are actually composed of two pairs of a/2〈1 1 0〉 dislocations with an average spacing of 8.5 nm, while only few of them are composed of single-line a〈1 0 0〉 dislocations.

In the first method, a Ga+-focused ion beam in situ to the growth chamber is used to create local regions of enhanced Ga+ concentration and surface topography. It is shown that at low ion doses (∼1014 cm−2), implanted Ga causes local nucleation of Ge clusters upon the implanted region. At higher doses (≥1015 cm−2), a complex surface topography localizes nucleation of Ge clusters. This approach can be used to seed complex patterns of Ge clusters with diameters of tens of nanometers and positional accuracy of sub-100 nm. The second method employs self-assembly of complex strain-stabilized “quantum quadruplet” and “quantum fortress” structures, whereby cooperative island nucleation around shallow strain-relieving pits is identified during GexSi1−x/Si(1 0 0) heteroepitaxy. These configurations are kinetically limited structures that exist over a range of compositions, growth temperatures, and growth rates, but which are destabilized by strain relaxation (e.g. by the introduction of misfit dislocations) and by growth conditions which provide high adatom surface mobilities. Both methods have broad potential application to nanoelectronic device architectures.

JO - Molecular & Cellular Biology JF - Molecular & Cellular Biology Y1 - 2003/08/15/ VL - 23 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 5706 SN - 02707306 AB - Little is known about the quantitative contributions of nonhomoiogous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) to DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in different cell cycle phases after physiologically relevant doses of ionizing radiation. Using immunofluorescence detection of γ-H2AX nuclear foci as a novel approach for monitoring the repair of DSBs, we show here that NHEJ-defective hamster cells (CHO mutant V3 cells) have strongly reduced repair in all cell cycle phases after 1 Gy of irradiation. In contrast, HR-defective CHO irs1SF cells have a minor repair defect in G[sub 1], greater impairment in S, and a substantial defect in late S/G[sub 2]. Furthermore, the radiosensitivity of irs1SF cells is slight in G, but dramatically higher in late S/G[sub 2], while V3 cells show high sensitivity throughout the cell cycle. These findings show that NHEJ is important in all cell cycle phases, while HR is particularly important in late S/G[sub 2], where both pathways contribute to repair and radioresistance. In contrast to DSBs produced by ionizing radiation, DSBs produced by the replication inhibitor aphidicolin are repaired entirely by HR. irs1SF, but not V3, cells show hypersensitivity to aphidicolin treatment. These data provide the first evaluation of the cell cycle-specific contributions of NHEJ and HR to the repair of radiation-induced versus replication-associated DSBs.

The cross-links were induced by exposure of the composite material to γ-radiation from a Co-60 source. We have detected 1H NMR responses from polymer chains directly interacting with the silica and network polymer chains not directly interacting with the silica. The residual dipolar couplings change in a straight-forward manner with radiation and chemically induced cross-linking of the polymer network. The strength of the filler–polymer interaction was seen to affect only the residual dipolar couplings and the transverse relaxation times and not directly the mean squared fluctuations of the residual dipolar couplings. Dipolar correlation effect NMR shows direct evidence for surface adsorbed species, however, and has measured changes in the amount of surface adsorption due to irradiation. The results suggest that siloxane polymer cross-linking was preceded by an initial disruption of the hydrogen bond interaction between the polymer backbone and the silica silanol groups at the polymer/silica interface and that noticeable radiation induced cross-linking then occurs at dosages above 100 kGray.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2003/08/15/ VL - 136 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 574 EP - 584 SN - 00298549 AB - Leaf area index (LAI) and its seasonal dynamics are key determinants of terrestrial productivity and, therefore, of the response of ecosystems to a rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. Despite the central importance of LAI, there is very little evidence from which to assess how forest LAI will respond to increasing [CO2]. We assessed LAI and related leaf indices of a closed-canopy deciduous forest for 4 years in 25-m-diameter plots that were exposed to ambient or elevated CO2 (542 ppm) in a free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment. LAI of this Liquidambar styraciflua (sweetgum) stand was about 6 and was relatively constant year-to-year, including the 2 years prior to the onset of CO2 treatment. LAI throughout the 1999–2002 growing seasons was assessed through a combination of data on photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) transmittance, mass of litter collected in traps, and leaf mass per unit area (LMA). There was no effect of [CO2] on any expression of leaf area, including peak LAI, average LAI, or leaf area duration. Canopy mass and LMA, however, were significantly increased by CO2 enrichment. The hypothesized connection between light compensation point (LCP) and LAI was rejected because LCP was reduced by [CO2] enrichment only in leaves under full sun, but not in shaded leaves. Data on PAR interception also permitted calculation of absorbed PAR (APAR) and light use efficiency (LUE), which are key parameters connecting satellite assessments of terrestrial productivity with ecosystem models of future productivity. There was no effect of [CO2] on APAR, and the observed increase in net primary productivity in elevated [CO2] was ascribed to an increase in LUE, which ranged from 1.4 to 2.4 g MJ-1. The current evidence seems convincing that LAI of non-expanding forest stands will not be different in a future CO2-enriched atmosphere and that increases in LUE and productivity in elevated [CO2] are driven primarily by functional responses rather than by structural changes. Ecosystem or regional models that incorporate feedbacks on resource use through LAI should not assume that LAI will increase with CO2 enrichment of the atmosphere.

The phase diagram in the plane of temperature and doping is calculated (); doping is described by the chemical potential. The phase transition from the insulating antiferromagnetic phase to a metallic paramagnetic phase proves to be a second order transition at small dopings and a first order transition at larger ones. The connection between the chemical potential and measurable physical properties is analyzed (). In the metallic phase it defines the volume, enclosed in the Fermi surface, which is always large. In the insulating phase it defines the energy gap. Next, the role of disorder is studied (). It is shown that disorder reduces the antiferromagnetic region at the phase diagram but qualitatively does not change the nature of the transitions, namely second order at smaller dopings and first order at larger ones.

The wires show an initial decrease in resistance as the temperature is lowered through the superconducting transition of the Al films, but then show an increase in resistance as the temperature is lowered further. In contrast to the case of pure Au wires in contact with a superconducting film, the resistance at the lowest temperatures rises above the normal state resistance. Analysis of the data shows that, in addition to contributions from magnetic scattering and electron–electron interactions, the temperature dependent resistivity shows a substantial contribution from the superconducting proximity effect, which exists even in the presence of strong spin scattering.

Interpretation of emission data provides insight into the nature of the plasma at each instant of a typical pulse cycle and at each position in space. Because the bulk plasma properties affect the distribution of excited energy levels of the sputtered atoms, an improved understanding of the plasma affords the ability to select conditions that enhance analytically important emission lines. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to determine the relative populations of excited states for atoms and ions during the initial breakdown, the steady state and the recombining periods of the discharge pulse cycle. The plasma is highly ionizing in nature at the time of breakdown—with lower excited states being overpopulated—before reaching the steady state, or plateau, period, also ionizing in nature. These behaviors arise from a loss of charged particles and photons to the surroundings that shifts the plasma away from Saha and Boltzmann balances during these periods. The post-pulse period typically displays recombining behavior, characterized by population inversion for selected species—except for regions close to the cathode, where electrons and ions are lost by diffusion and are not available for recombination. The sputtered analyte atom emissions closely mimic those of the plasma bath gas, except that their emissions persevere for longer in the recombining after-peak period than do the discharge gas species.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings of 1 μm thickness were deposited by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process on hardened substrates made from 4140 alloy steel. The coated flat specimens were tested in an oscillatory pin-on-disk configuration in contact with either uncoated or carbon-coated hardened steel balls. Peak Hertzian contact pressures ranged from about 300 to 500 MPa and mean sliding velocity was 50 mm/s. In some tests, the specimens were lubricated with 10W-30 motor oil.It was found that wear of the carbon coatings was approximately linearly proportional to contact force. For unlubricated tests, wear rates of the coated specimens were about 200 times less than rates of wear of uncoated steel specimens for the same contact force. The contacting steel ball (uncoated) showed even greater wear reduction (more than 3 orders of magnitude) when tested against coated substrates. Friction coefficients were four to five times lower for coated specimens. Coating the ball as well as the flat resulted in a further reduction (about 50%) in wear of both ball and flat. Friction and wear reduction brought about by carbon coating in lubricated tests was less than for unlubricated specimens.

In order to enhance the durability of human artificial joints, alternative bearing surfaces may be needed. In the present study, the tribological performance of several candidate implant materials, including the diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film coating on stainless steel were investigated. A pin-on-flat contact configuration in reciprocating sliding was used for preliminary materials evaluation and friction and wear testing. Test pairs were lubricated with bovine blood serum. The DLC coating sliding against uncoated stainless steel showed the lowest friction coefficient and very little, if any, wear. Wear mechanisms in tests of ceramics and steel pairs were primarily abrasive.

One of these materials, a poly(vinyl-alcohol) cryogel (PVA-c) may exhibit the mechanical properties required to withstand the harsh environment of diarthrodial joints. To better understand how PVA-c friction is affected by different variables employed in bench top testing to simulate joint conditions, a six-factor, two-level fractional–factorial experiment was developed. Factors included temperature, lubricant, material stiffness, load, sliding speed, and surface roughness. Static and dynamic friction were found to depend significantly on material stiffness and roughness, increasing as material stiffness and roughness increased. Dynamic friction was also inversely proportional to sliding speed. Overall static and dynamic friction for all variables was 0.285±0.091 and 0.143±0.066 (average±S.D.), respectively. Material deformation and other factors may have contributed to the higher than expected friction levels. Frictional behavior of this PVA-c against stainless steel does not follow Amonton’s friction law, nor does it follow friction models based on repulsion and adsorption theories.

Using a specially designed, sub-scale disc brake testing system, a series of experiments was conducted to study the friction, wear, and frictional heating characteristics of both conventional and unconventional candidate disc brake materials. The selected sliding speed (11.0 m/s) was comparable to that experienced by a commercial disc brake surface on a truck travelling 60 miles/h (96.6 km/h). Material combinations included a commercial friction material on a gray cast iron disc, a commercial friction material on an aluminum metal matrix composite disc, a commercial friction material on a cast iron aluminide (Fe3Al) alloy disc, and a carbon/silicon carbide material pad on a disc of similar composition. An adhesive extraction method was used to remove the loose wear particles from the surfaces of the test discs. The characteristics of brake material wear particles differed significantly between the four sliding material combinations studied and are correlated with both surface roughness changes and wear modes.

The critical shear angle responsible for the vanishing of the energy band gap is achieved at near constant volume via a 55° bending of the nitro group out of the molecular plane, accompanied by 0.1 Å stretch in the N–O bonds. The energy needed for inducing this motion is of the same order of magnitude as the energy band gap. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2003/08/18/ VL - 83 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1388 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - We report on the structural and transport properties of EuBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7-x] (Eu123) films on SrTiO[sub 3] substrates. A substrate temperature 100 °C higher than that used to deposit YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7-x] (Y123) is needed to grow high-performance Eu123 films directly on SrTiO[sub 3] substrates. However, this high-temperature restriction can be circumvented by inserting a seed layer (∼12 nm) of Y123, Gd123, or Dy123 between the substrate and the Eu123. A structural analysis reveals that a transition region that promotes the growth of the a-axis is first formed on the surface of the substrate if the Eu123 is deposited directly on SrTiO[sub 3] at a temperature of less than 800 °C. On the other hand, the use of a seed layer of another superconducting material restructures the Eu123 to the right phase without forming this transition region. Eu123 films with critical temperatures of 94 K and critical current densities of 5.8×10[sup 6] A/cm[sup 2] at 75.5 K have been deposited under standard deposition conditions using such an approach. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The permittivity demonstrated a suppressed temperature and electric field response that transitioned to a more bulk-like response with increasing thickness, consistent with earlier observations. At low fields the leakage currents showed a weak-field dependence and a monotonic increase with increasing temperature. In contrast, a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) was observed in the leakage current behavior at high-field. The PTCR behavior was more pronounced for thicker BST films. The observed effect is contrasted with PTCR behavior in bulk BaTiO[sub 3] ceramics. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We here reexamine this issue by geometrically engineering fundamental matter with type IIB branes wrapped on noncompact cycles in the resolved geometry, and following them through the geometric transition. Our approach treats massive and massless flavor fields on equal footing, including the mesons. We also study the geometric transitions and superpotentials for finite mass of the adjoint field. All superpotentials we compute reproduce the field theory results. Crucial insights come from T-dual brane constructions in type IIA.

In this system, entanglement at the quantum level and chaos at the classical level arise from the coupling between the atomic spin and its center-of-mass motion. Experiments, performed deep in the quantum regime, correspond to dynamic quantum tunneling. This nonclassical behavior is contrasted with the predictions for an initial phase space distribution produced in the experiment, but undergoing classical Hamiltonian flow. We study conditions under which the trapped atoms can be made to exhibit classical dynamics through the process of continuous measurement, which localizes the probability distribution to phase space trajectories, consistent with the uncertainty principle and quantum “back-action” noise. This method allows us to analytically and numerically identify the quantum-classical boundary. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The performance of the boiler combustion system is critical to the overall performance. Flame Doctor™, which has been developed by McDermott Technology, Inc. and Oak Ridge National Laboratory under sponsorship of Electric Power Research Institute, performs diagnostics on an individual burner basis. The system consists of analogue-to-digital signal conversion and conditioning hardware, analysis software, and a graphical user interface. Time varying voltage signals from all of the burner flame scanners on a boiler are analyzed simultaneously. Nonlinear techniques such as symbolization and time asymmetry along with linear techniques such as power spectral analysis are used. The nonlinear techniques discriminate stability features in the combustion dynamics not possible with the linear techniques alone. The assessments for a variety of flame conditions are collected in a reference library. Libraries have been created for a number of flame scanners types. The Flame Doctor™ burner diagnostic system is described. Results from the first utility installation at Ameren UE Meramec power plant are shown. A live hook-up to the power plant is demonstrated. Flame Doctor™ is being offered commercially under alpha and beta demonstrations through the Electric Power Research Institute and Babcock & Wilcox. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The model is a set of nonlinear, ordinary differential equations, each equation representing the time rate of change of the vertical position for a given bubble. This model has been used for near realtime simulation of 3-D fluidized beds and studied extensively. This agent-based model has been extended for chemical reactions and ozone decomposition in fluidized beds is reported in this paper. The results from these simulations predict the conversion data of ozone decomposition (Fryer and Potter, 1976). This talk will also discuss the next steps and how this model can be extended to design and control fluidized beds. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Quantitative Analysis of Bristle Number in Drosophila Mutants Identifies Genes Involved in Neural Development JO - Current Biology JF - Current Biology Y1 - 2003/08/19/ VL - 13 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 1388 SN - 09609822 AB - Background: The identification of the function of all genes that contribute to specific biological processes and complex traits is one of the major challenges in the postgenomic era. One approach is to employ forward genetic screens in genetically tractable model organisms. In Drosophila melanogaster, P element-mediated insertional mutagenesis is a versatile tool for the dissection of molecular pathways, and there is an ongoing effort to tag every gene with a P element insertion. However, the vast majority of P element insertion lines are viable and fertile as homozygotes and do not exhibit obvious phenotypic defects, perhaps because of the tendency for P elements to insert 5′ of transcription units. Quantitative genetic analysis of subtle effects of P element mutations that have been induced in an isogenic background may be a highly efficient method for functional genome annotation.Results: Here, we have tested the efficacy of this strategy by assessing the extent to which screening for quantitative effects of P elements on sensory bristle number can identify genes affecting neural development. We find that such quantitative screens uncover an unusually large number of genes that are known to function in neural development, as well as genes with yet uncharacterized effects on neural development, and novel loci.Conclusions: Our findings establish the use of quantitative trait analysis for functional genome annotation through forward genetics. Similar analyses of quantitative effects of P element insertions will facilitate our understanding of the genes affecting many other complex traits in Drosophila.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/20/ VL - 677 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The influence of pressure on the dielectric properties and phase behavior was investigated for two substituted single crystals of SrTiO3: (a) 18O exchanged SrTi18O3 [STO-18] and (b) lightly doped Sr1-xCaxTiO3 with x = 0.007 [SCT (0.007)]. The 18O atoms in STO-18 reduce both the quantum fluctuations of the TiO6 octahedra and the frequency of the soft phonon mode, leading to a ferroelectric (FE) state via a first-order transition with Tc ∼ 24 K at 1 bar. Tc decreases very rapidly under pressure with an initial slope of ∼ 20 K/kbar, reaching the quantum displacive limit (Tc = 0 K) near 0.7 kbar. In the case of SCT (0.007), fluctuating polar nanodomains surround the off-center Ca dopants and grow in size as the correlation length for dipolar interactions in the SrTiO3 host increases with decreasing temperature. Ultimately, the fluctuations slow down and the nanodomains “freeze” into a relaxor state with Tmax ∼ 18 K; pressure reduces Tmax with an initial slope of ∼ 35 K/kbar. Both the FE transition in STO-18 and the relaxor state of SCT (0.007) are completely suppressed below 1 kbar and a quantum paraelectric state emerges. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The reconstruction dynamics are novel: 1 × 2 bands nucleated during cooling at the steps of the starting 1 × 1 surface and then grew laterally from the steps. The transformation kinetics are dominated by mass flow from the surface to the bulk, a process that facilitates converting the high-density 1 × 1 phase to the lower-density 1 × 2 phase. We have also imaged how the 1 × 1 surface reconstructs to 1 × 2 phase after sufficient oxygen is removed from the crystal’s bulk during vacuum annealing. 1 × 2 bands also nucleated and grew laterally from the initial 1 × 1-surface’s steps. However, because this isothermal 1 × 1-to-1 × 2 transition occurs largely by mass redistribution on the surface, the steps of the initial 1 × 1 surface and final 1 × 2 surface are offset. We propose models of mass redistribution during the 1 × 1/1 × 2 phase transition to explain this effect. We conclude that the phase transition is first-order because it always occurred by the nucleation and growth of discrete phases. Finally, we show that quenching can roughen TiO2’s surface by forming pits and that changing temperature causes step motion on 1 × 2 surfaces.

By carrying out repetitive Pb adlayer underpotential deposition (UPD) and stripping cycles during Ag bulk deposition, the two-dimensional growth of Ag films was significantly enhanced in high OPD. The Ag monolayer sample was made by comparing the voltammetry curves, in which the signatures for Pb adlayer UPD on Au(1 1 1) changed to that on Ag(1 1 1). As demonstrated by the X-ray specular reflectivity measurements, nearly complete monolayer and bilayer films can be made with optimized deposition procedures. On subatomic scale, however, we found that these films have significant higher root-mean-square displacement amplitudes than those underpotentially deposited Ag monolayer and bilayer on either Au(1 1 1) or Pt(1 1 1).

Analysis of SXS measurements has indicated that the Pd grows via pseudomorphic island formation, with the partial occupation of successive layers occurring at a first layer occupation of 0.8 ML. Further Pd deposition sees the formation of larger islands built onto the now complete monolayer, characteristic of pseudomorphic Stranski–Krastanov (SK) growth. In the HUPD potential region the effect of CO on the surface expansion of the multilayer Pd film is negligible. In the hydrogen evolution region, however, the effect of the adsorption of CO has been shown to produce surface normal expansion and in-plane disorder of the Pd film. It is suggested that hydrogen permeation into the Pd film is enhanced on the CO-poisoned surface.

The analysis is based on a combination of continuum elasticity theory and a novel atomistic simulation approach for modeling structural and compositional relaxation in layer-by-layer heteroepitaxial systems. Results are presented for InAs epitaxy on GaAs(1 1 1)A compliant substrates with some marginal film compositional grading that consists of one monolayer of In0.50Ga0.50As grown on the substrate surface prior to InAs growth. A parametric study is carried out over a wide range of substrate thicknesses. Interfacial stability with respect to misfit dislocation formation, the dependence on substrate thickness of a thermodynamic critical film thickness, and the completion of the coherent-to-semicoherent interfacial transition are examined in detail. In addition, the structural characteristics and compositional distribution of the corresponding semicoherent interfaces, the associated strain fields, as well as the film surface morphological characteristics are analyzed. Most importantly, the role of segregation at defects of a semicoherent interface in the thermodynamics of layer-by-layer heteroepitaxial growth is demonstrated. Our study shows that systematic combination of the mechanical behavior of thin compliant substrates with grading of the epitaxial film composition provides a very promising engineering strategy for strain relaxation in heteroepitaxy.

T1 - Signature of optimal doping in Hall-effect measurements on a high-temperature superconductor. JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/08/21/ VL - 424 IS - 6951 M3 - Article SP - 912 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - High-temperature superconductivity is achieved by doping copper oxide insulators with charge carriers. The density of carriers in conducting materials can be determined from measurements of the Hall voltage-the voltage transverse to the flow of the electrical current that is proportional to an applied magnetic field. In common metals, this proportionality (the Hall coefficient) is robustly temperature independent. This is in marked contrast to the behaviour seen in high-temperature superconductors when in the ‘normal’ (resistive) state; the departure from expected behaviour is a key signature of the unconventional nature of the normal state, the origin of which remains a central controversy in condensed matter physics. Here we report the evolution of the low-temperature Hall coefficient in the normal state as the carrier density is increased, from the onset of superconductivity and beyond (where superconductivity has been suppressed by a magnetic field). Surprisingly, the Hall coefficient does not vary monotonically with doping but rather exhibits a sharp change at the optimal doping level for superconductivity. This observation supports the idea that two competing ground states underlie the high-temperature superconducting phase.

The mega-pixel imager will acquire and process a burst of 32 frames captured at inter-frame time ∼200 ns. Real time signal processing and storage requirements for entire frames, of rapidly acquired pixels impose severe demands on the space available for the electronics in a standard monolithic approach. As such, a 3D arrangement of detector and circuit elements is under development. In this scheme, the readout integrated circuits (ROICs) are stacked vertically (like playing cards) into a cube configuration. Another die, a fully depleted pixel photo-diode focal plane array (FPA), is bump bonded to one of the edge surfaces formed by the resulting ROIC cube. Recently, an assembly of the proof-of-principle test cube and sensor has been completed.

The scattering from two heavy water solutions containing, respectively, nickel in natural abundance and enriched in the [sup 62]Ni isotope, were measured at temperatures of 90, 175, and 230 °C using the general liquids and amorphous materials diffractometer at the intense pulsed neutron source, Argonne National Laboratory. The Ni[sup 2+] hydration structure was seen to become progressively weaker and broader with increasing temperature, consistent with the findings of previous experiments. A more subtle effect of temperature on hydration structure has also been highlighted for the first time, namely, gradual shifts in the first hydration peak positions in the real-space difference function. Our findings point to the importance of following changes in hydration structure closely by measuring as many state points as possible, and the desirability of complementary approaches such as EXAFS (extended x-ray absorption fine structure) and quasielastic neutron scattering. Our initial study has also demonstrated the successful performance of a new sample cell designed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for handling corrosive aqueous solutions under conditions of elevated temperatures and pressures. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The material systems of such overgrown quantum wires have been limited to Al-Ga-As-P, which leads to emission largely in the visible region. We describe a simple, one-step chemical vapor deposition process for making quantum wire lasers based on the Al-Ga-N system. A novel quantum-wire-in-optical-fiber (Qwof) nanostructure was obtained as a result of spontaneous Al-Ga-N phase separation at the nanometer scale in one dimension. The simultaneous excitonic and photonic confinement within these coaxial Qwof nanostructures leads to the first GaN-based quantum wire UV lasers with a relatively low threshold.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/08/22/ VL - 107 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 8816 SN - 15206106 AB - Wide band gap semiconductor nanostructures with near-cylindrical geometry and large dielectric constants exhibit two-dimensional ultraviolet and visible photonic confinement (i.e., waveguiding). Combined with optical gain and suitable resonant feedback, the waveguiding behavior facilitates highly directional lasing at room temperature in controlled-growth nanowires. We have characterized the nanowire emission in detail with high-resolution optical microscopy. The waveguiding behavior of individual zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires depends on the wavelength of the emitted light and the directional coupling of the photoluminescence (PL) to the emission dipoles of the nanowire. Polarization studies reveal two distinct regimes of PL characterized by coupling to either guided (bound) or radiation modes of the waveguide, the extent of which depends on wire dimensions. Pumping with high pulse energy engenders the transition from spontaneous to stimulated emission, and analysis of the polarization, line width, and line spacing of the laser radiation facilitates identification of the transverse and longitudinal cavity modes and their gain properties. Interpretation of the lasing spectra as a function of pump fluence, with consideration of ZnO material properties and ultrafast excitation dynamics, demonstrates a transition from exciton (fluence < 1 μJ/cm2) to electron-hole plasma dynamics (fluence > 1 μJ/cm2) and gain saturation behavior (fluence > 3 μJ/cm2) modified by the constraints of the nanoscale cylindrical cavity.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/08/22/ VL - 107 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 8946 SN - 15206106 AB - In this work, the topology of the electrostatic potential using density functional theory for periodic systems was used to study the nature of the interaction of water with laponite surfaces; an uncharged sheet model was also used. The topological analysis predicts that for uncharged surfaces the adsorption mode is such that the water molecules are adsorbed almost parallel to the surface. For laponite surfaces, where there is a net charge, the adsorption mode involves electrostatic repulsion between the negative lone pairs on the water molecules and the ones on the surface oxygen atoms. As a consequence, the water molecules bind to the surface in a perpendicular and tilted approach, minimizing the repulsive interactions. The advantage of using the topology of the electrostatic potential as an efficient method to describe the electrostatic interactions between adsorbates and surfaces is also discussed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/08/22/ VL - 107 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 8953 SN - 15206106 AB - First-principles calculations that are based on spin-unrestricted density functional theory and the generalized gradient approximation have been used to study the adsorption of nitromethane and 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene molecules on the Al(111) surface. The calculations employ (3 × 3) aluminum slab geometries and three-dimensional periodic boundary conditions. On the basis of these calculations, we have determined that both dissociative and nondissociative adsorption mechanisms are possible, depending on the molecular orientation and the particular surface sites involved. In the case of dissociative chemisorption, O-atom abstraction by Al surface atoms has been determined to be the dominant mechanism. The dissociated O atom forms strong Al-O bonds with the neighboring Al sites around the dissociation sites. In addition, the radical species obtained as a result of O-atom elimination remains bonded to the surface. In some instances, both O atoms of the nitro group dissociate and oxidize the aluminum surface. Finally, for the case of nondissociative adsorption, various N-O-Al bridge-type bonding configurations can be formed. On the basis of the data provided from these studies, it can be concluded that oxidation of the aluminum surface readily occurs, either by partial or complete dissociation of the O atoms from the NO2 group.

The films form through a complex spreading process that results in the coexistence of macroscopic lenses and films that are several nanometers thick. Aqueous biphase solutions of poly(ethylene glycol), potassium phosphates, and water are used to form these films. Synchrotron X-ray scattering is used to characterize the structure of the thin film and to probe the adsorption of proteins to the film. X-ray reflectivity measures the layer thickness (4-5 nm) and the roughness of the two interfaces of the film. Surface and interfacial tension measurements, combined with the X-ray measurements, indicate that the films are a thin layer of the bulk solution rather than a monolayer of PEG molecules. The film can be described by an excess free energy with a short range piece (due primarily to capillary wave entropic repulsion) and a long-range van der Waals interaction. Biomolecules, such as proteins, can be trapped at the aqueous-aqueous interface or in the thin film. This idea is demonstrated by an X-ray reflectivity study of ferritin proteins that form a 2-dimensional array at the interface. It is shown that the electron density interfacial profile of the ferritin trapped in this thin film is consistent with the known crystal structure of ferritin. In the absence of the thin film, ferritin does not adsorb to the interface.

Several unusual features, including a large elastic anisotropy, a small-shear elastic modulus C', a Kohn-like anomaly in the T[sub1][011] branch, and a pronounced softening of the [111] transverse modes, are found. These features can be related to the phase transitions of plutonium and to strong coupling between the lattice structure and the 5f valence instabilities. Our results also provide a critical test for theoretical treatments of highly correlated 5f electron systems as exemplified by recent dynamical mean field theory calculations for δ-plutonium.

The algorithms use a novel application of the extended mixture model to provide estimates of background clutter in the on-plume pixel. These estimates are then used iteratively to improve the quantification. The final step in the algorithm employs either an extended least-squares (ELS) or generalized least-squares (GLS) procedure. It was found that the GLS weighting procedure generally performed better than ELS, but they performed similarly when the analyte spectra had relatively narrow features. The algorithms require estimates of the atmospheric radiance and transmission from the target plume to the imaging spectrometer and an estimate of the plume temperature. However, estimates of the background temperature and emissivity are not required which is a distinct advantage. The algorithm effectively provides a local estimate of the clutter, and an error analysis shows that it can provide superior quantification over approaches that model the background clutter in a more global sense. It was also found that the estimation error depended strongly on the net analyte signal for each analyte, and this quantity is scenario-specific.

T1 - Classical least squares transformations of sensor array pattern vectors into vapor descriptors: Simulation of arrays of polymer-coated surface acoustic wave sensors with mass-plus-volume transduction mechanisms JO - Analytica Chimica Acta JF - Analytica Chimica Acta Y1 - 2003/08/25/ VL - 490 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 169 SN - 00032670 AB - A new method of processing multivariate response data to extract chemical information has been developed. Sensor array response patterns are transformed into a vector containing values for solvation parameter descriptors of the detected vapor’s properties. These results can be obtained by using a method similar to classical least squares (CLS), and equations have been derived for mass- or volume-transducing sensors. Polymer-coated acoustic wave devices are an example of mass-transducing sensors. However, some acoustic wave sensors, such as polymer-coated surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices give responses resulting from both mass-loading and decreases in modulus. The latter effect can be modeled as a volume effect. In this paper, we derive solutions for obtaining descriptor values from arrays of mass-plus-volume-transducing sensors. Simulations were performed to investigate the effectiveness of these solutions and compared with solutions for purely mass-transducing sensor arrays. It is concluded that this new method of processing sensor array data can be applied to SAW sensor arrays even when the modulus changes contribute to the responses. The simulations show that good estimations of vapor descriptors can be obtained by using a closed form estimation approach that is similar to the closed form solution for purely mass-transducing sensor arrays. Estimations can be improved using a nonlinear least squares optimization method. The results also suggest ways to design SAW arrays to obtain the best results, either by minimizing the volume sensitivity or matching the volume sensitivities in the array.

The GCS combines fast separations and chemometric analysis to produce an instrument capable of high-speed, high-throughput screening and quantitative analysis of complex chemical mixtures on a similar time scale as typical chemical sensors. The GCS was evaluated with 28 test mixtures consisting of 15 compounds from four chemical classes: alkanes, ketones, alkyl benzenes, and alcohols. The chromatograms are on the order of one second in duration, which is considerably faster than the traditional use of gas chromatography. While complete chromatographic separation of each analyte peak is not aimed for, chemical information is readily extracted through chemometric data analysis and quantification of the samples is achieved in considerably less time than conventional gas chromatography.Calibration models to predict percent volume content of either alkanes or ketones were constructed using partial least squares (PLS) regression on calibration sets consisting of the five replicate GCS runs of six different samples. The percent volume content of the alkane and ketone chemical classes were predicted on five replicate runs of the 22 remaining samples ranging from 0 to 50 or 60% depending on the class. Root mean square errors of prediction were 2–3% relative to the mean percent volume values for either alkane or ketone prediction models, depending on the samples chosen for the calibration set of that model. The alkyl benzenes and alcohols present in the calibration sets or samples were treated as variable background interference. It is anticipated that the GCS will eventually be used to rapidly sample and directly analyze industrial processes or for the high throughput analysis of batches of samples.

Quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) objects are unique forms of matter with two macroscopic dimensions, while the third approaches atomic dimensions. Well-known examples of Q2D objects are thin films. Another example of a Q2D object will be a sphere with a nm thick shell (nanoshell). In this letter, it is predicted that nanoshells can be accelerated to 100 km/s (extreme hypervelocity, or EHV) and above using the electrostatic method. The maximum velocity is limited by field emission and material strength. The two limits only allow a certain number of charges on a nanoshell before it starts to emit ions or electrons, or to break. “Table-top” EHV nanoshell beams can be used for high-temperature plasma diagnostics and fueling. EHV nanoshells can also be used to study hypervelocity-impact phenomena in a momentum space not accessible in the past. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Accurate values of stopping powers in SiC, especially for B, N, and Al ions as dopants and for He ions used in ion-beam analysis applications, are highly desirable. In the present study, the electronic energy loss of these ions in a self-supported SiC film is directly measured in transmission geometry using a time-of-flight detection system over a continuous range of energies. The measured electronic stopping powers are parameterized, for easy implementation in other applications, and compared with the predictions of the stopping and range of ions in matter code. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

By separating the intrinsic properties of the conductor and the effect of its contact to metallic leads, researchers showed that a symmetric Y junction does not display a potential rectifying behavior. More precisely, results demonstrated the critical role played by these contacts in the rectification process. It has been shown that the electrical properties of junctions between a semiconducting carbon nanotube and a metallic lead dominate the overall electrical characteristics of nanotube-based field-effect transistors. In order to focus on properties of the conductor itself, one usually relies on modeling. Fortunately, theoretical methods conveniently offer the possibility to separate effects of intrinsic properties of the conductor from effects of its connection to metallic leads.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2003/08/25/ VL - 42 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5259 EP - 5266 SN - 00201669 AB - Peroxynitrite decay in weakly alkaline media occurs by two concurrent sets of pathways which are distinguished by their reaction products. One set leads to net isomerization to NO[sub 3, sup -] and the other set to net decomposition to O[sub 2] plus NO[sub 2, sup -]. At sufficiently high peroxynitrite concentrations, the decay half-time becomes concentration-independent and approaches a limiting value predicted by a mechanism in which reaction is initiated by unimolecular homolysis of the peroxo 0-0 bond, i.e., the following reaction: ONOOH → •OH + •NO[sub 2]. This dynamical behavior excludes alternative postulated mechanisms that ascribe decomposition to bond rearrangement within bimolecular adducts. Nitrate and nitrite product distributions measured at very low peroxynitrite concentrations also correspond to predictions of the homolysis model, contrary to a recent report from another laboratory. Additionally, (1) the rate constant for the reaction ONOO[sup -] → •NO + •O[sub 2, sup -], which is critical to the kinetic model, has been confirmed, (2) the apparent volume of activation for ONOOH decay (ΔV[sup ‡] = 9.7 ± 1.4 cm³/mol) has been shown to be independent of the concentration of added nitrite and identical to most other reported values, and (3) complex patterns of inhibition of O[sub 2] formation by radical scavengers, which are impossible to rationalize by alternative proposed reaction schemes, are shown to be quantitatively in accord with the homolysis model. These observations resolve major disputes over experimental data existing in the literature; despite extensive investigation of these reactions, no verifiable experimental evidence has been advanced that contradicts the homolysis model.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2003/08/25/ VL - 42 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5282 EP - 5292 SN - 00201669 AB - The combination of CH[sub 3]CN solutions of [N(CH[sub 3])[sub 4]][F] and a mixture of cis- and trans-[N(CH[sub 3])[sub 4]][lO[sub 2]F[sub 4]] produces the novel trans-IO[sub 2]F[sub 5, sup 2-] anion, Under the given conditions, only the trans-IO[sub 2]F[sub 4, sup -] anion acts as a fluoride ion acceptor, thus allowing the separation of isomerically pure, soluble cis-IO[sub 2]F[sub 4, sup -] from insoluble trans-IO[sub 2]F[sub 5, sup 2-]. The trans-IO[sub 2]F[sub 5, sup 2-] and cis-IO[sub 2]F[sub 4, sup -] anions were characterized by infrared and Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations at the LDFT and HF levels of theory. The trans-IO[sub 2]F[sub 5, sup 2-] anion has a pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry with the two oxygen atoms occupying the axial positions. It represents the first example of a heptacoordinated main group AO[sub 2]X[sub 5] species and completes the series of pentagonal-bipyramidal iodine fluoride and oxide fluoride species. The geometries of the pentagonal-bipyramidal series IO[sub 2]F[sub 5, sup 2-], IOF[sub 5, sup 2-], IF[sub 5, sup 2-] , IOF[sub 6, sup -], IF[sub 6, sup -], and IF[sub 7] and the corresponding octahedral series IO[sub 2]F[sub 4, sup -], IOF[sub 4, sup -], IF[sub 4, sup -], IOF[sub 5], IF[sub 5], and IF[sub 6, sup +] were calculated by identical methods. It is shown how the ionic charge, the oxidation state of the iodine atom, the coordination number, and the replacement of fluorine ligands by either an oxygen ligand or a free valence electron pair influence the stuctures and bonding of these species.

Further exploration of the aryl interactions led to the investigation of the diphenylethoxide (DPE) derivative which was isolated as [K(μ[sub 3]-DPE)(THF)][sub 4] (11) or [K(μ[sub 3]-DPE)(py)][sub 4]·py[sub 2] (12) depending on the solvent used. In general, the less sterically demanding ligands (oMP, oPP, oBP, and DMP) were solvated polymeric species; however, increasing the steric bulk (DIP and DBP) led to unsolvated polymers and not discrete molecules. For most of this novel family of compounds, the K atoms were π-bound to the aryl rings of the neighboring phenoxide derivatives to fill their coordination sites. The synthesis and characterization of these compounds are described in detail.

T1 - Three-dimensional particle cracking damage development in an Al–Mg-base wrought alloy JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2003/08/25/ VL - 355 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 368 SN - 09215093 AB - Experiments have been performed to quantitatively characterize the three-dimensional (3-D) microstructural damage due to cracking of Fe-rich intermetallic particles in an Al–Mg-base extruded 5086(O) alloy as a function of strain under uniaxial compression and tension. The 3-D number density and average volume of the cracked particles are estimated using the unbiased and efficient large area disector (LAD) stereological technique. In each specimen, the two-dimensional (2-D) number fraction of cracked particles is significantly lower than the corresponding 3-D number fraction. Therefore, the conventional 2-D damage measurements considerably underestimate the true 3-D damage due to particle cracking in this alloy. Comparison of the 3-D damage data on the 5086(O) alloy and earlier data on 6061(T6) alloy reveals that at all tensile/compressive stress levels higher than the yield stress of both alloys, the 3-D number fraction of cracked Fe-rich intermetallic particles in the 5086(O) alloy is significantly lower than its corresponding value in the 6061(T6) alloy. Therefore, the 5086(O) alloy is less prone to damage progression due to particle cracking compared to the 6061(T6) alloy. In both the alloys, significant rotations of the Fe-rich intermetallic particles occur during deformation under uniaxial compression. These rotations tend to align the particles along the direction of induced tensile stretch. The particle rotations in turn affect the progression of damage due to particle cracking. For deformation under uniaxial compression, the average volume of cracked Fe-rich particles increases with the increase in the strain. These observations are explained on the basis of the particle rotations.

At high momenta, the effective theory reproduces the BFKL dynamics, while at low momenta, it exhibits gluon saturation and, related to it, colour neutrality over the short distance scale 1/Qs≪1/ΛQCD. Gauge-invariant quantities computed within this approximation are automatically infrared-finite.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/26/ VL - 680 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 3 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Slow highly charged ions approaching surfaces at very close distances (∼nm) are known to capture many electrons in highly excited states forming hollow atoms(1)(2). These hollow atoms quickly decay to their ground states through a long cascade of autoionization processes( Auger transitions) which may be balanced , as these ions are still close to the surface, by a series of electron captures. This actual sequence of many events of capture and autoionization, alternate or not, is not experimentally known to date, and depends on the charge of the ions and of the capture processes which may be very different above metals and insulators. We review in this paper two new experiments on the kinematics of fully decelerated highly charged ions(Ar18+) above dielectric and metal surfaces, and on the behavior of ions of lower charge states (O7+ and Ne9+) above the same surfaces. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This representation maps many-body fragmentation channels onto simple radial equations similar to those for two-body processes.

We have developed asymptotic representations of the adiabatic eigenvalues based upon energy dependent zero-range potentials. Our asymptotic expressions are compared with ab initio calculations as well as hyperspherical adiabatic calculations using zero range potentials with constant M that have appeared in the literature. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The basic features and principles describing recombination of diatomic molecular ions are now reasonably well characterised and understood. However, recombination of polyatomic ions is much less well understood. Over the last six years, experiments carried out at ion storage rings have shown that tri-atomic molecular ions tend to break up into three atoms upon recombination with free electrons. The question of how this break-up occurs has started to be investigated at ion storage rings using particle-imaging techniques. In this presentation, the imagine technique used in these experiments will be discussed together with results obtained from studies of H2O+, NH[sub 2][sup +] and CH[sub 2][sup +]. Finally, the use of this technique to study the dissociative recombination of more complex polyatomic ions, for example D[sub 5]O[sub 2][sup +], will also be discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Measuring one or the other of the two cross sections provides direct information about the time-reversed process. Measurements carried out at the Advanced Light Source, Berkeley, for PI of C2+ and Sc2+ are compared with experimental results from the heavy-ion storage ring TSR, Heidelberg, on PR of C3+ and Sc3+, respectively.

When antiprotons are trapped they undergo atomic reactions with background gases which remove them from the trap. First, antiprotons are captured into highly excited bound states by ejecting the bound electrons, then they are radiationally deexcited and, finally, they annihilate by nuclear interaction. An understanding of these process require reliable cross sections for low-energy collisions of antiprotons with atoms. We have developed a theoretical technique for accurate calculations of these cross sections. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We have developed an experimental method that can be used to determine effusive-flow times of arbitrary geometry target/vapor transport systems. The technique utilizes a fast valve to measure effusive-flow times as short as 0.1 ms for any chemically active or inactive species through any target system, independent of size, geometry and materials of construction. In this report, we describe the effusive-flow experimental arrangement and provide time spectra for noble gases through prototype RIB target/vapor-transport systems. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/26/ VL - 680 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 254 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - In this report, we provide results of simulation studies for the design of fast diffusion-release high-power targets for RIB generation at high energy ISOL based facilities. Processes that lead to target heating (e.g., primary beam energy deposition, energy release through nuclear reactions and beam scattering effects) are accounted for in the simulations. From these studies, we find that internal thermal radiation is an important mechanism for heat redistribution in the low-density, small-dimensioned fibrous targets used in viable target designs and therefore, must be carefully taken into account. Such fragile, low thermal conductivity targets must withstand irradiation with >= 100 kW beams for extended periods of time and therefore, care must be taken to avoid exceeding the limiting temperature of the target material while ensuring homogeneous temperature distribution over the volumes of these targets. Thermal radiation of high-temperature fibers to surrounding surfaces is an effective means for cooling targets subjected to high power beam irradiation, especially for materials with poor intrinsic thermal conductivities. Focus-through and scanning techniques, used in combination with additional heat shielding placed on the exit end of the target, are found to be effective means for reducing beam power deposition density to manageable levels, homogenizing the temperature distributions within such targets while avoiding devastating primary beam scattering losses during transit. Results derived from simulation studies of fibrous (e.g., ZrO2 and HfO2) and composite (e.g., BeO/W/RVCF, NbC/RVCF, Ta/RVCF and UC2/RVCF) targets subjected to irradiation with 1 GeV proton beams with power levels up to 400 kW, are presented in this report. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

By factorizing the P(Ex, Eγ) matrix according to the Axel-Brink hypothesis the nuclear level density and the radiative strength function (RSF) in 56,57Fe are extracted simultaneously. A step structure is observed in the level density for both isotopes, and is interpreted as the breaking of Cooper pairs.

This continuous-in-energy neutron source has been used to study Ericson fluctuations, charged-particle emission cross sections and spectra, gamma-ray production and, recently, neutron emission. Examples of each will be discussed. The FIGARO array of neutron and gamma-ray detectors has been developed in the past year to allow measurement of neutron emission in a “double time-of-flight” experiment. The incident neutron energy is determined by time-of-flight over a 21-meter flight path with gamma rays from the induced reaction. Neutron emission spectra from this reaction are then measured by time-of-flight over a flight path of typically 1 meter. Data on 28Si(n,n’) are presented, and the relevance to determination of nuclear level densities is discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In addition, terrestrial radiation can also affect earth-based electronics. To study the effects of radiation upon integrated circuits and to insure the reliability of electronic devices, cosmic and terrestrial radiations are simulated with ion beams from particle accelerators. A new, higher Linear Energy Transfer (LET) acceleration system for heavy ions has been developed at Sandia National Laboratories. Heavy ions from a 6.5 MV EN tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at 0.25 MeV/amu are injected into a two-stage Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) linac, which accelerates the ions to 1.9 MeV/amu. These ions together with those from the Brookhaven National Laboratory MP Tandem have been used to measure single event upset (SEU) cross sections as a function of LET for both bulk and Silicon on Insulator (SOI) Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, Static Random Access Memories. The magnitudes of these cross sections indicate that the upsets in both the SOI and bulk parts are caused by OFF-drain strikes. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Spectroscopic analysis of the fluoresced x-rays provides quantitative trace element information of the sample volume probed by the beam. The elemental data are subsequently used to identify and correlate peaks in the mass analysis of the desorbed species, thereby providing a detailed description of the local surface chemistry.

Present methods employ accelerated ion beams which are 1) either collimated with micro-apertures and affected by a halo of 3–5μm at best, or 2) focused to a sub-micron spot, whose resolution is degraded when extracted into air. We have studied the efficacy of a new micro-radiobiological method, originally developed for materials research. This new approach uses an IPEM, Ion Photon Emission Microscope, which employs a specially shaped Po-210 alpha particle source for in-air irradiation. Alpha particles strike the cells, which are previously grown directly on a 10–20 μm thick scintillating plastic blade and placed in the focal plane of a conventional optical microscope. Photons produced at the single ion impact point are projected at high magnification onto a single-photon position sensitive detector, which provides the position of each ion that hits the cells. Adequacy of this setup for Single Cell Radio-Biology will be discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Coal pyrites contain high Cu, As, Se, Mo and Pb, and show high As/Se and Mo/Se in marine influenced sulfides from the Lower Kittanning coal, but not in other marine-influenced coals. Sulfides are amenable to micro-PIXE studies because of the difficulties in obtaining the homogeneous standards required for many other TE microanalytical techniques. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

An electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source permits such measurements to be extended to multiply charged ions, and makes possible systematic studies along isoelectronic sequences. The evolution of atomic spectra along such sequences is commonly studied theoretically, but the predictive ability of the theoretical methods remains largely untested. Absolute cross-section measurements are presented for the first three ionic members of the isoelectronic sequence of nitrogen (O+, F2+ and Ne3+). © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In such an array, the individual interactions of all the gamma rays are identified by their energies and positions. Then, using tracking algorithms based on the properties of gamma ray interactions the scattering sequences are reconstructed. GRETA will give high peak efficiency, peak-to-background ratio, and position resolution. Progress has been made in four key areas of development; 1) the manufacture of segmented detectors, 2) a data processing system to digitize the signals, 3) signal processing methods for determining energy, time, and position from pulse shape, and 4) a tracking algorithm to identify interaction points belonging to a particular gamma ray. These technical advances have demonstrated that the construction of a gamma ray energy-tracking array is feasible, and a plan for constructing a US array is in place. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The defect properties calculated using density functional theory (DFT) in SiC are consistent with multi-axial channeling measurements. Molecular dynamics (MD) methods have been employed to study defect generation and clustering due to ion interactions with SiC and structural evolution. The surviving defects are dominated by C interstitials and vacancies, and the number and size of clusters are very small, in agreement with those observed experimentally. The multiple ion-solid interaction, defect accumulation and disordering on Si and C sublattices are studied by simulating a large number of cascade overlap events. The damage accumulation, relative disordering and volume swelling obtained experimentally and from molecular dynamic simulations are in good agreement. Thus, the present studies provide atomic-level insights into the interpretation of experimentally observed features in SiC. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/26/ VL - 680 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 625 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Proton beam micromachining (PBM) can be used to produce high aspect ratio microstructures in PMMA, similar to LIGA. For example, the range of 3-MeV protons in PMMA is approximately 120 microns, the beam can be focused to approximately 1 micron spot size, and structures with aspect ratios around 100 are possible. Patterns are created by directly writing with a focused ion beam that is scanned over the resist. We have found that achieving smooth walls is closely related to uniform dose and beam spot size. This paper describes our electrostatic rastering system and a method of controlling pixel-to-pixel exposure by integrating the sample current. We present our experimental results and process improvements for achieving high quality microstructures using PBM. We also show examples of complex (multilayered and tilted) parts created by direct writing and microstructures formed by alternative proton beam lithographies (shadow mask). © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Metal Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition (MePIIID) has been used to prepare several hard films: from diamondlike carbon (DLC) to carbides, from nitrides to oxides. The energy of the depositing species is controlled to maximize adhesion as well as to change the physical and chemical properties of the films. Adhesion is promoted by the creation of a graded interface between the film and the substrate. The energy of the depositing ions is also used to modify and control the intrinsic stresses and the microstructure of the films. The deposition is carried out at room temperature, which is important for temperature sensitive substrates. A correlation between intrinsic stresses and the energetics of the deposition is presented for the case of DLC films, and means to reduce stress levels are discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A pre-thinned MgO foil was implanted with 100 keV Au ions at an elevated temperature of 700 K to a fluence of 1.8×1016 Au cm-2 leading to the spontaneous formation of small (2–3 nm) Au nanoclusters. Post-implantation thermal annealing at 1100 K led to coarsening of the precipitates reaching sizes of ∼9 nm. Subsequent irradiation with 600 keV Au ions (passing completely through the foil) led to refining of the precipitates, a reversed ripening process. After irradiation with 1×1016 Au ions cm-2, the cluster size decreases to less than ∼3 nm. In another experiment, during 300 keV Kr ion irradiation, where the ions pass through the foil, a dense network of cubically shaped nanovoids was observed after a dose of 4×1016 Kr ions cm-2. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/26/ VL - 680 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 775 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - In the production of the heaviest elements, the cross-sections for evaporation residues are very small, which, in turn, requires the usage of intense beams. Hence, the targets used tend to exhibit shortened lifetimes as beam currents are raised. Tightly focused beams on stationary targets of modest melting point and/or high sputtering yield material will eventually melt or destroy the target. Defocused or “wobbled” beams enhance target survival only to a modest degree. Rotating the target on a wheel can overcome target melting, and using, in addition, a low sputtering rate material as a covering layer can address this issue and allow for higher beam currents to be used for experiments. The purpose of the calculations done for this work is to attempt to predict the safe range of beam currents allowable, i.e. currents which produce heat loads below the melting point of the target. Materials with favorable sputtering rates and thermal properties are also examined. Calculations of the heating and sputtering these targets can withstand will show the safe limits to which they may be exposed and still survive. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Specifically extensive work has been published for detection of nitrogen. However, this progress was hampered by lack of intense gamma sources that would interact resonantly with nitrogen.

The booster linac consists of two RFQ stages that accelerate heavy ions with m/q < 8 from 0.25 MeV/amu up to 1.22 MeV/amu in the first stage and to 1.90 MeV/amu in the second stage to produce high Linear Energy Transfer (LET) ions for REM. This RFQ linac has a total length of 6.0 meters and is installed on a new experimental beam line at the SNL IBMRL to measure single-event upset (SEU) cross-sections of integrated circuits (ICs) and to perform radiation hardness research using REM with the associated Ion Electron Emission Microscope (IEEM). This paper presents the recent beam measurement results from operation of the RFQ linac with beams from silicon to gold and compares these results with theoretical beam dynamics calculations. It also describes the details of the experiments to measure SEU cross-sections and IEEM. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

To provide highest possible intensity of rare isotopes with masses from 6 to 240, the linac will accept all ions in the 1+ charge state. A high resolution separator for purifying beams at the isobaric level precedes the RIB linac. Charge stripping in the linac takes place at two stages: helium gas stripping at energies of a few tens of keV/u, and an additional foil stripping at ∼680–1700 keV/u for the heavier ions. The RIB linac will utilize existing superconducting heavy-ion linac technology for all but one exceptional piece, a very-low-charge-state injector, which is needed for the first ∼9 MV of the accelerator. This section consists of a pre-buncher followed by three sections of cw, normally-conducting RFQ. The first section is a conventional RFQ operating at 12 MHz. The following two sections are hybrid RFQs operating at 12 and 24 MHz. A 1:2 scale cold model of 12 MHz RFQ was built and it is being studied in order to determine final specifications for the full power 12 MHz hybrid RFQ. This paper reports on the present status of the RIB linac development with particular attention paid to the very-low-charge-state injector section. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These requirements ask for increased beam currents and duty factor (df) while generally maintaining state-of-the art H- source emittance. A variety of H- sources are being developed to address these challenges. These include volume sources with and without the addition of cesium for enhanced H- production, increased df cesiated H- Penning and magnetron sources, and cesiated surface converter H- sources. Research on surface films of tantalum metal for enhanced volume H- production is also being studied. Innovative plasma production techniques to address the longer df requirement without sacrificing H- source reliability and lifetime will be reviewed. The physical bases, the goals, and perceived challenges will be discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One approach for developing such a source is to apply a high gradient that remains constant during the generation and acceleration of the electron beam. In this paper, we describe high voltage pulse generators that deliver up to 5 MV with 1 ns pulse duration. These devices are synchronizable to an external trigger with jitter of ∼ 0.5 ns and can establish gradients in excess of 1 GV/m between two electrodes without breakdown. In the presence of field gradients up to 0.5 GV/m, electron beams of bunch lengths ranging from 1 ns to 0.3 ps and diameter < 300 μm have been generated by irradiating the cathode with UV lasers. Characteristics of these electron beams as well as those produced via field emission at gradients up to 1 GV/m will be discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/26/ VL - 680 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1150 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Glassy Polymeric Carbon (GPC) has medical applications owing to its inertness and biocompatible characteristics. Commercial GPC prosthetics include mitral, aortic and hydrocephalic valves. Surface treatment of GPC increases the adhesion of endothelic tissue on GPC and avoids the occurrence of thrombus in cardiac implant. In this work, ion beam was used to improve the mechanical characteristics of GPC surface. Hardness was measured as a function of depth in precursor and GPC samples heat treated from 300 to 2500 °C before and after bombardment with energetic ions of silicon, carbon, oxygen and gold at energies of 5, 6, 8 and 10 MeV and fluences between 1.0×1013 and 1.0×1016 ions/cm2. Comparison shows that hardness increases of the bombarded samples depend on heat treatment temperature. We verify that ion bombardment promotes carbonization due to an increased linkage between the chains of the polymeric material in lateral groups that are more numerous for samples heat treated to 700 °C. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A rational approach toward engineering a robust system is through chemical recognition. Here, we show the in situ mineralization of crystalline CdTe quantum dots on the surfaces of oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). We coordinate metallic precursors of quantum dots directly onto nanotubes and then proceed with in situ growth. The resulting network of molecular-scale "fused" nanotube-nanocrystal heterojunctions demonstrates a controlled synthetic route to the synthesis of complex nanoscale heterostructures. Extensive characterization of these heterostructures has been performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Here we have sequenced and analysed the 2.4-megabase genome of Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102, revealing some of the ways that these organisms have adapted to their largely oligotrophic environment. WH8102 uses organic nitrogen and phosphorus sources and more sodium-dependent transporters than a model freshwater cyanobacterium. Furthermore, it seems to have adopted strategies for conserving limited iron stores by using nickel and cobalt in some enzymes, has reduced its regulatory machinery (consistent with the fact that the open ocean constitutes a far more constant and buffered environment than fresh water), and has evolved a unique type of swimming motility. The genome of WH8102 seems to have been greatly influenced by horizontal gene transfer, partially through phages. The genetic material contributed by horizontal gene transfer includes genes involved in the modification of the cell surface and in swimming motility. On the basis of its genome, WH8102 is more of a generalist than two related marine cyanobacteria.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/08/28/ VL - 424 IS - 6952 M3 - Article SP - 1042 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - The marine unicellular cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the smallest-known oxygen-evolving autotroph. It numerically dominates the phytoplankton in the tropical and subtropical oceans, and is responsible for a significant fraction of global photosynthesis. Here we compare the genomes of two Prochlorococcus strains that span the largest evolutionary distance within the Prochlorococcus lineage and that have different minimum, maximum and optimal light intensities for growth. The high-light-adapted ecotype has the smallest genome (1,657,990 base pairs, 1,716 genes) of any known oxygenic phototroph, whereas the genome of its low-light-adapted counterpart is significantly larger, at 2,410,873 base pairs (2,275 genes). The comparative architectures of these two strains reveal dynamic genomes that are constantly changing in response to myriad selection pressures. Although the two strains have 1,350 genes in common, a significant number are not shared, and these have been differentially retained from the common ancestor, or acquired through duplication or lateral transfer. Some of these genes have obvious roles in determining the relative fitness of the ecotypes in response to key environmental variables, and hence in regulating their distribution and abundance in the oceans.

We applied the method to deuterated water D2O using the ab initio MP2 level of electronic structure theory. The initial conditions of kinetic and potential energies of the trajectories were chosen to be consistent with the level v=0 of the harmonic normal modes. We obtained the density of states and the IR and Raman intensities by means of the Fourier transforms of the autocorrelation functions of the velocities, dipole moment time-derivatives, and polarizability tensor time-second-derivatives, respectively. The calculated spectrum is in excellent quantitative agreement with the experimentally observed spectrum. The method holds promise to obtain very accurate simulated spectra for small molecules, including IR and Raman intensities. Extensions to the characterization of vibrational effects on the non-linear optical properties of molecules are suggested.

This is likely to reflect its vasoactive effects; cocaine produces vasoconstriction and reduces cerebral blood flow. We propose that cerebrovascular pathology in chronic cocaine abusers would result in abnormal BOLD [blood oxygenation level dependent] responses to activation stimuli. Here, we used fMRI to compared the BOLD response to photic visual stimulation in neurologically intact active cocaine abusers to that in non-drug-using healthy controls. Cocaine abusers showed a significantly enhanced positive BOLD response to photic stimulation when compared to control subjects. The enhanced activation in the cocaine abusers could result from low resting cerebral blood flow secondary to increased vasoconstriction and/or from low oxidative metabolism during activation. Alternatively, the larger signal intensity in the cocaine abusers could result from inefficient neuronal processing as has been shown to occur in other conditions of cerebral pathology. These findings provide evidence of cerebral dysfunction with chronic cocaine abuse, which could reflect cerebral blood flow or neuronal changes. Further studies are required to determine if the cerebrovascular changes we observed in the cocaine abusers recover with detoxification and to assess their functional consequences.

A long-term goal of our research team is to explore novel pathways for the direct conversion of methane to liquid fuels, chemicals, and intermediates. One of our current areas of research is the conversion of methane to methanol, under mild conditions, using light, water, and a semiconductor photocatalyst. The use of three relatively abundant and inexpensive reactants—light, water, and methane—to produce methanol is an attractive process option. The main advantage of using a photocatalyst to promote the photoconversion of methane to methanol is that the presence of the catalyst, in conjunction with an electron-transfer agent, allows reaction to occur with visible light instead of with ultraviolet. This greatly simplifies reactor design and will permit flexibility in the selection of the light source. The products of the reaction of interest, methanol and hydrogen, are both commercially desirable as fuels or chemical intermediates. Reactions were conducted at 1.0 and 10.1 MPa along with methane contained within gas hydrates.

Because the rate of carbon formation is greater than the rate of carbon gasification, carbon accumulates in the catalyst bed. In order to better understand the carbon deposition process at high pressure during dry reforming, we have tested a series of noble metal and Ni-based catalysts at pressures of one, and 14 bar using 13C-labeled methane. The source of the carbon deposition during the reactions was then studied using temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO). The results indicated that the source of carbon is different for the reactions conducted at low pressure compared to those performed at higher pressure over noble metal catalysts. At high pressure a significant amount of carbon formed on the catalysts and both methane and carbon dioxide equally contributed to carbon deposition. However, at low pressure the amounts of carbon formed on these catalysts were insignificant and came predominantly from 12CO2. It was also found that at high pressure the total amount of carbon was higher regardless of catalyst type or composition.

Data are presented that show that several nickel complexes activated by alkoxide bases catalyze facile synthesis of methanol from synthesis gas (primarily a mixture of CO and H2) in homogeneous liquid phase under mild conditions of temperature (<150 °C) and pressure (<5 MPa). Under these mild conditions, batch-mode productivity of up to 20 g mol MeOH/l cat. h is achieved and more importantly, per pass gas conversion and methanol selectivity exceed 90 and 95%, respectively. The overall synthesis gas to methanol process has built-in waste-minimization and minimum by-product formation features and thus achieves CO2 mitigation. The potential of this low-temperature methanol synthesis approach is considered in light of the recent advances in CO2 sequestration technologies. A successful development of this technology may also provide an atom-economical pathway to transport remote natural gas in the form of methanol, a liquid energy-carrier.

A hysteresis effect has been observed for repeated formation–dissociation cycles of the same methane–water system. In an attempt to maximize the uptake of methane during methane hydrate formation, the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate provided methane uptake of over 97% of the theoretical maximum uptake. Additional surfactants were tested for their ability to enhance the uptake of methane for hydrate formation. Successful demonstration of efficient methane storage using hydrate formation enhanced by addition of surfactants could provide a safe, low-cost alternative method for storage of natural gas at remote locations.

A net repulsion inside the track can cause a “Coulomb explosion” (CE), which can lead to damage and sputtering of the material. Here we report results from molecular dynamics simulations of CEs for cylindrical tracks as a function of charge density and neutralization/quenching time, τ. Screening by the free electrons is accounted for using a screened Coulomb potential for the interaction among charges. The yield exhibits a prompt component from the track core and a component from the heated region produced, which dominates at higher excitation density. For the cases studied, the number of atoms ejected per incident ion, i.e. the sputtering yield Y, is quadratic with charge density along the track as suggested by simple models. Y does not depend greatly on τ for τ≳τD (one Debye period), and even Y (τ=0.2τD) is still nearly 20% of the yield when there is no neutralization (τ→∞). The connections between ‘CEs’, thermal spikes and measurements of electronic sputtering are discussed.

The RPM is a technique for analyzing solute addition data in which whole stream uptake (mg m−2 d−1) is determined from the longitudinal pattern in plateau tracer concentrations. At one location, a time series of samples are collected that define the ‘rising limb’ of the solute breakthrough curve. The y-intercept estimated by regressing a measure of reactive tracer availability (e.g. NO3–15N:Cl ratio) and the percentage of tracer that has resided within, and returned from, the transient storage zone (i.e. hyporheic zone) was used to predict channel-specific NO3 uptake rates. Uptake within the transient storage zone of stream-derived material is calculated by difference. Several numerical steps are developed that link uptake rate estimates to first-order reaction rate constants (λC and λS, min−1) more commonly used to describe solute behavior in one-dimensional transport models.The RPM was used to analyze the results of 2 stable isotope additions performed in Snake Den Branch, a small headwater stream in western North Carolina, USA. Channel-specific uptake rates (UC) ranged from 10.6 to 23.0 mg NO3–N m−2 d−1 and slightly exceeded uptake in the transient storage zone (US), which varied from 10.1 to 18.2 mg NO3–N m−2 d−1. Uptake within the transient storage zone accounted for 44–49% of the total uptake. λC and λS estimates ranged from 0.023 to 0.034 min−1 and 0.011 to 0.024 min−1, respectively. These processing rates correspond to solute residence times of 30–44 min and 41–90 min in the channel and storage zones, respectively. Finally, we assess the sensitivity of our approach to variation in the subsurface uptake coefficient and differing proportions of uptake occurring within the hyporheic zone.

Reverse transcription was performed on total RNA samples extracted from kidney, normal breast, and breast tumor. Then, fluorophorlabeled cDNAs were synthesized by using random hexamers as primers for analysis by capillary gel electrophoresis. By overlaying the electropherograms and by performing multivariate analysis, we found that the RNA patterns were significantly different among the tissue samples. The protocol utilizes only submicroliter volumes of PCR products and is compatible with multiple capillary DNA sequencing instruments. These CE-based RNA patterns provide an alternative to RNA microarrays for expression profiling for understanding the molecular basis of disease.

T1 - Integration of Electrokinetic-Based Multidimensional Separation/Concentration Platform with Electrospray Ionization-Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance-Mass Spectrometry for Proteome... JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09//9/1/2003 VL - 75 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4432 EP - 4440 SN - 00032700 AB - This work focuses on the development of a multidimensional electrokinetic-based separation/concentration platform coupled with electrospray ionization -Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESIFFICR-MS) for achieving the high resolution and ultrasensitive analysis of complex protein/peptide mixtures. A microdialysis junction is employed as the interface for on-line combination of capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) with transient capillary isotachophoresis/zone electrophoresis (CITP/CZE) in an integrated platform. Besides the excellent resolving power afforded by both CIEF and CZE separations, the electrokinetic focusing/stacking effects of CIEF and CITP greatly enhance the dynamic range and detection sensitivity of MS for protein identification. The constructed multidimensional separation/ concentration platform is demonstrated for the analysis of Shewanella oneidensis proteome, which has considerable implications toward the bioremediation of environmental pollutants. The electrokinelic-based platform offers the overall peak capacity comparable to those obtained using multidimensional chromatography systems, but with a much shorter run rime and no need for column regeneration. Most importantly, a total of 1174 unique proteins, corresponding to 26.5% proteome coverage, are identified from the cytosolic fraction of S. oneidensis, while requiring <500 ng of proteolytic digest loaded in the CIEF capillary. The ultrasensitive capabilities of electrokinetic-based proteome approach are attributed to the concentration effect in CIEF, the electrokinetic stacking of C1TP, the nanoscale peak volume in CZE, the "accurate mass tag" strategy for protein/peptide identification, and the high-sensitivity, high-resolution, and high-mass measurement accuracy of FTICR-MS.

Samples were deposited in microliter volumes on thin silicon nitride windows and dried. The energy loss of the α-particles after traversing the sample was converted to a mass using tabulated α-particle stopping powers. The measurement was absolute, independent of biomolecule species, and no stand ands were needed for quantitation. The method has a dynamic range of 0.1-100 μg for deposits of diameter 1-2 mm. The precision varies from ∼20% at 100 ng to a few percent at 5-100 μg. The silicon nitride windows allow multimodal analysis of the same quantified sample, including PIXE probing of elemental abundances, molecular identification by mass spectrometry, and isotopic quantitation of interactions. The method was used with accelerator mass spectrometry to quantify specific activities of microgram quantities of 14C-labeled proteins.

Deposition of a MPN film was obtained in a 2-m, 530-μm-i.d. deactivated silica capillary using gravity to force the solution containing the MPN material through the capillary. By SEM analysis, the average film thickness was determined to be 60.7 nm. The retention behavior for the dodecanethiol MPN column was studied using four compound classes (alkanes, alcohols, aromatics, ketones), and retention orders were objectively compared to a commercially available column (AT-1, 100-nm film thickness). Separation of an eight-component mixture was performed using both isothermal and temperature-programming methods with the dodecanethiol MPN phase and compared to an isothermal separation with the AT-1 phase. The AT-1 phase separation had an efficiency, N, of 6200 (k' = 0.33) while the dodecanethiol MPN phase separation had an efficiency, N, of 5700 (k' = 0.21) for the same analyte, octane. The reduced plate height, h, for octane was found to be less than 1 at the optimum linear flow velocity, indicating the MPN column operated near the optimum possible performance level. Robustness of the MPN phase is also discussed with consistent performance observed over several months. Overall, MPNs appear promising as a stationary-phase material for GC and as an experimental platform to study their thermodynamic and mass-transfer properties.

In addition, HO[SUB2] is found in droplets and surface water as a result of photochemical formation and gasphase scavenging. We describe a quantitative method for determining trace concentrations of HO[SUB2] radicals that exploits the chemiluminescence produced upon reaction with a synthetic analogue of luciferin from the crustacean Cypridina. The technique is linear at least up to 1 μM HO[SUB2](aq) and has a minimum detection limit of 0.1 nM. A unique feature of this analysis is a calibration method using stable aqueous HO[SUB2] stand ands produced in submicromolar concentrations using [SUP60]Co γ-radiolysis. The advantage of this method in comparison to others in consideration of field deployment is its simplicity, low cost, and minimal size and power requirements. One intended applicafion of this technique is the measurement of atmospheric HO[SUB2] radicals following collection into aqueous solution.

SN - 15278204 AB - Drosophila's importance as a model organism made it an obvious choice to be among the first genomes sequenced, and the Release 1 sequence of the euchromatic portion of the genome was published in March 2000. This accomplishment demonstrated that a whole genome shotgun (WGS) strategy could produce a reliable metazoan genome sequence. Despite the attention to sequencing methods, the nucleotide sequence is just the starting point for genome-wide analyses; at a minimum, the genome sequence must be interpreted using expressed sequence tag (EST) and complementary DNA (cDNA) evidence and computational tools to identify genes and predict the structures of their RNA and protein products. The functions of these products and the manner in which their expression and activities are controlled must then be assessed--a much more challenging task with no clear endpoint that requires a wide variety of experimental and computational methods. We first review the current state of the Drosophila melanogaster genome sequence and its structural annotation and then briefly summarize some promising approaches that are being taken to achieve an initial functional annotation.

SN - 15278204 AB - The genome sequences of multiple species has enabled functional inferences from comparative genomics. A primary objective is to infer biological functions from the conservation of homologous DNA sequences between species. A second, more difficult, objective is to understand what functional DNA sequences have changed over time and are responsible for species' phenotypic differences. The neutral theory of molecular evolution provides a theoretical framework in which both objectives can be explicitly tested. Development of statistical tests within this framework has provided insight into the evolutionary forces that constrain and in some cases change DNA sequences and the resulting patterns that emerge. In this article, we review recent work on how functional constraint and changes in protein function are inferred from protein polymorphism and divergence data. We relate these studies to our understanding of the neutral theory and adaptive evolution.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 69 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 5483 EP - 5491 SN - 00992240 AB - Phylogenetic and stable-isotope analyses implicated two methanogen-like archaeal groups, ANME-1 and ANME-2, as key participants in the process of anaerobic methane oxidation. Although nothing is known about anaerobic methane oxidation at the molecular level, the evolutionary relationship between methane-oxidizing archaea (MOA) and methanogenic archaea raises the possibility that MOA have co-opted key elements of the methanogenic pathway, reversing many of its steps to oxidize methane anaerobically. In order to explore this hypothesis, the existence and genomic conservation of methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR), the enzyme catalyzing the terminal step in methanogenesis, was studied in ANME-1 and ANME-2 archaea isolated from various marine environments. Clone libraries targeting a conserved region of the alpha subunit of MCR (mcrA) were generated and compared from environmental samples, laboratory-incubated microcosms, and fosmid libraries. Four out of five novel mcrA types identified from these sources were associated with ANME-1 or ANME-2 group members. Assignment of mcrA types to specific phylogenetic groups was based on environmental clone recoveries, selective enrichment of specific MOA and mcrA types in a microcosm, phylogenetic congruence between mcrA and small-subunit rRNA tree topologies, and genomic context derived from fosmid sequences. Analysis of the ANME-1 and ANME-2 mcrA sequences suggested the potential for catalytic activity based on conservation of active-site amino acids. These results provide a basis for identifying methanotrophic archaea with mcrA sequences and define a functional genomic link between methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea.

JO - Applied Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Applied Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 18 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 708 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 1047322X AB - Beryllium operations and accompanying medical surveillance of workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory began in the 1940s. In 1999 a Former Workers Medical Surveillance Program that includes screening for chronic beryllium disease was initiated. As part of this program, historical beryllium exposure conditions were reconstructed from archived paper and electronic industrial hygiene data sources to improve understanding of past beryllium uses and airborne concentration levels. Archived industrial hygiene sampling reports indicated beryllium was principally used in technical areas-01 and -03, primarily being machined. Beryllium was also used at 15 other technical areas in activities that ranged from explosives detonation to the manufacture of X-ray windows. A total of 4528 personal breathing zone and area air samples for beryllium, combined for purposes of calculating summary statistics, were identified during the records review phase. The geometric mean airborne beryllium concentration for the period 1949-1989 for all technical areas was 0.04 μg Be/m 3 with 97 percent of all sample below the 2.0 μg Be/m 3 occupational exposure limit (OEL). Average beryllium concentrations per decade were less than 1 μg Be/m 3 and annual geometric mean concentrations in technical area-03, the largest user of beryllium, were generally below 0.1 μg Be/m 3 , indicating exposure was generally well-controlled, that is, below the OEL. Typical of many retrospective exposure assessments, not all archived data could be extracted and summarized. Despite this, we report a reasonable summary of potential beryllium uses and airborne concentration levels a worker may have encountered from 1949-1989. These data can be used to more effectively identify former worker populations at potential risk for chronic beryllium disease and to offer these workers screening as part of the Former Worker Medical Surveillance Program, and in the event that a case is diagnosed, help to understand historical exposure conditions.

These isotopically enriched diamond layers can modify the thermal properties of the culet of high-pressure anvils and also allow the use of a [sup 13]C/[sup 12]C Raman pressure sensor system for high-pressure, high-temperature measurements. Raman spectroscopy clearly revealed the isotopically mixed nature of the culet while the photoluminescence spectra at 80 K demonstrate the nitrogen-based defect center near the culet of the diamond anvil. The ability to isotopically modify the diamond culets offers yet another functionality for the embedded electric and magnetic sensors in a designer-diamond anvil. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Fabry–Perot interference fringes and attenuation of a reflected HeNe laser beam are used to measure the length of VAA–MWNT throughout the first 3–8 μm of growth yielding in situ measurements of growth rates and kinetics and the capability to observe the onset and termination of growth. VAA–MWNT growth is characterized between 565 and 750 °C on Si substrates with evaporated Al/Fe/Mo multilayer catalysts and acetylene feedstock. Nanotube lengths were controlled by rapid evacuation of the chamber at predetermined reflectivities, and it was demonstrated that growth can be restarted at later times. The extinction coefficients of the VAA–MWNT were studied and correlated with nanotube wall structure. Growth rates for VAA–MWNT are found to vary depending on the catalyst preparation, temperature, and time. Both the highest growth rates (0.3 μm/s) and the tallest VAA–MWNT (0.75 mm long) were achieved at 730 °C. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Microstructure and remanent magnetization images were studied by an optical microscope and a SQUID microscope, respectively. The HAZ, in which only the face-centered-cubic austenite phase exists, could be visualized by the SQUID microscope. It was also found that the SQUID images were consistent with the results from the microstructural analysis. It was concluded that a simple SQUID measurement may serve as an effective method for a nondestructive evaluation of ferromagnetic steel phases by correlating remanent magnetization images to microstructural characteristics. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Though these AIMD calculations have important limitations of scale, the comparisons with the liquid solution results are satisfactory and significantly different from the radial distributions extracted from the data on the solid Kr/H2O clathrate hydrate phase. The calculations also produce the coordination number distribution that can be examined for metastable coordination structures suggesting possibilities for clathrate-like organization; none are seen in these results. Clathrate pictures of hydrophobic hydration are discussed, as is the quasi-chemical theory that should provide a basis for clathrate pictures. Outer shell contributions are discussed and estimated; they are positive and larger than the positive experimental hydration free energy of Kr(aq), implying that inner shell contributions must be negative and of comparable size. Clathrate-like inner shell hydration structures on a Kr atom solute are obtained for some, but not all, of the coordination number cases observed in the simulation. The structures found have a delicate stability. Inner shell coordination structures extracted from the simulation of the liquid, and then subjected to quantum chemical optimization, always decomposed. Interactions with the outer shell material are decisive in stabilizing coordination structures observed in liquid solution and in clathrate phases. The primitive quasi-chemical estimate that uses a dielectric model for the influence of the outer shell material on the inner shell equilibria gives a contribution to hydration free energy that is positive and larger than the experimental hydration free energy. The ‘what are we to tell students’ question about hydrophobic hydration, often answered with structural clathrate pictures, is then considered; we propose an alternative answer that is consistent with successful molecular theories of hydrophobic effects and based upon distinctive observable properties of liquid water. Considerations of parsimony, for instance Ockham''s razor, then suggest that additional structural hypotheses in response to ‘what are we to tell students’ are not required at this stage.

By analyzing the IXS data based on the generalized three effective eigenmode model (GTEE), we obtain dispersion relations of the high frequency density oscillations (phonons) of lipid molecules in these bilayers. We then compare the dispersion relations of pure lipid bilayers of different chain lengths among themselves and the dispersion relations of pure lipid bilayers with those of the cholesterol containing bilayers. We also compare our experimental results with collective dynamics data generated by computer molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in gel phase and DMPC in liquid crystal phase.

The goal is to help researchers decide on the optimal set of thermodynamic data to use. This approach accounts for the errors associated with reported data and how reliable the researcher believes the model to be. The optimization is conducted with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA) coupled with Bayesian statistics to more accurately link the limited and uncertain experimental thermodynamic data to thermodynamic models of interest. The computer program provides guidance as to which experiments are needed to enhance the reliability of the dataset and is ideally suited for parameter optimization and sensitivity analysis.

JO - Climate Dynamics JF - Climate Dynamics Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 21 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 349 EP - 359 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09307575 AB - In this study it is shown that the availability of a very high resolution dataset of land surface characteristics leads to the improvement of a surface runoff parameterization scheme. The improved parameterization scheme was developed for application in global and regional climate models and is a further development of the Arno scheme that is widely used in climate models. Here, surface runoff is computed as infiltration excess from a "bucket" type reservoir which takes the subgrid variability of soil saturation within a model gridbox into account. Instead of prescribing a distribution of subgrid scale soil water capacities as in the original Arno scheme, the array of high resolution soil water capacities taken from a global 1 km dataset of land surface parameters is used to obtain individual fractional saturation curves for each model gridbox. From each saturation curve, the three parameters (a shape parameter describing the shape of the subgrid distribution of soil water capacities, subgrid minimum and maximum soil water capacity) required in the modified formulation of the scheme are derived via optimization. As in the original Arno scheme applied in the ECHAM general circulation model and the REMO regional climate model, topography variations will influence the distribution of saturated subgrid areas within a model gridbox. At most gridboxes the net effect of these changes is such that more runoff is produced for high soil water contents and less runoff for low soil water contents. A validation of simulated discharge computed with a simplified land surface scheme applied to reanalysis data of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and a hydrological discharge model has shown that these changes lead to a more realistic simulation of the annual cycle of discharge for several catchments. In particular this could be shown for the Yangtze Kiang and Amur catchments where adequate input data are available.

This paper studies the natural closure properies of Minkowski sums and scalar dilation. It gives an extension of the underlying vector space structure that enables the study of an arithmetic on the abstract points of their associated spectra. This arithmetic satisfies certain cancellation principles that motivates an investigation into an algebraic object weaker than a group and culminates with a version of the Jordan-Hölder theorem. With the subsequent definition of dimension we show that the collection of affine real ultrafilters in Kn is n-dimensional over the scalar ultrafilters.

Our method is particularly attractive when the entire data set does not fit in memory and when the sampling rate is high relative to the feature size of the scalar field in all dimensions. Although we report results for and data sets, the proposed approach may be applied to higher dimensions. The method is based on the new Lorenzo predictor, introduced here, which estimates the value of the scalar field at each sample from the values at processed neighbors. The predicted values are exact when the n-dimensional scalar field is an implicit polynomial of degree. Surprisingly,when the residuals (differences between the actual and predicted values) are encoded using arithmetic coding,the proposed method often outperforms wavelet compression in an sense. The proposed approach may be used both for lossy and lossless compression and is well suited for out-of-core compression and decompression,because a trivial implementation, which sweeps through the data set reading it once, requires maintaining only a small buffer in core memory, whose size barely exceeds a single ( n−1)- dimensional slice of the data.

The Personal Software Process[supSM] (PSP[supSM]) defect management framework provides individual software engineers with the tools to prevent and remove defects early in the life cycle. Our experience with the PSP indicates that the application of discipline methods such as PSP provides a mechanism for defect prevention as well as early defect removal and substantial reduction in test time. In this article, we describe the PSP defect management framework and quantitatively demonstrate the reduction of defects by using the PSP defect management methods.

For comparison purposes we also sintered pure nanocrystalline diamond compacts and micron-sized diamond–SiC composites by the infiltration method. Structure of these materials was studied by scanning electron microscopy, Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction. Diamond–SiC nanocomposites have remarkably high fracture toughness and are significantly harder than the sintered pure nanocrystalline diamond compacts. Silicon is shown to hinder graphitization of diamond. Broadening of X-ray lines is explained in terms of plastic deformations and size-effect in diamond and silicon carbide crystals.

Temperature and dissolved oxygen were simulated by a CE-QUAL-W2 model of Brownlee Reservoir, Idaho for a typical wet, normal, and dry hydrologic year. We compared current water quality conditions to scenarios with reduced nutrient inputs to the reservoir. White sturgeon habitat quality was modeled as a function of temperature, dissolved oxygen and, in some cases, suitability for foraging and depth. We assigned a quality index to each cell along the bottom of the reservoir. The model simulated two aspects of daily movement. Advective movement simulated the tendency for animals to move toward areas with high habitat quality, and diffusion simulated density dependent movement away from areas with high sturgeon density in areas with non-lethal habitat conditions. Mortality resulted when sturgeon were unable to leave areas with lethal temperature or dissolved oxygen conditions. Water quality was highest in winter and early spring and lowest in mid to late summer. Limiting nutrient inputs reduced the area of Brownlee Reservoir with lethal conditions for sturgeon and raised the average habitat suitability throughout the reservoir. Without movement, simulated white sturgeon survival ranged between 45 and 89%. Allowing movement raised the predicted survival of sturgeon under all conditions to above 90% as sturgeon avoided areas with low habitat quality.

Biomonitoring tools are essential to assess the health of ecosystems and their component parts, including humans. While field and laboratory data are available, two critical issues to our understanding of bioavailability are often missing: 1) knowing the relationship between dose and tissue concentrations, and 2) species extrapolations. Understanding of high to low dose extrapolation is also critical. Methods to understand the importance of host factors in bioavailability of metals must assess gender, age, nutritional status, individual variability, temporal changes, and critical habitat effects. Methods to examine these variables include correlational, observational, experimental, epidemiological, and modeling studies, or a combination of these. Data gaps include developing more representative studies of human and animal populations, better analytical tools for rapid determination of metal content in the field, improved analytical characterization of metal bioavailability, and concurrent studies of different metals.

Surface treatment of LiMn2O4 with colloidal zirconia (ZrO2) dramatically improves the cycling stability of the spinel electrode at 50 °C in Li/LiMn2O4 cells. ZrO2-coated LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 electrodes provide a superior capacity and cycling stability to uncoated electrodes when charged to a high potential (4.6 V vs Li0). The use of Li2ZrO3, which is structurally more compatible with spinel and layered electrodes than ZrO2 and which can act as a Li+-ion conductor, has been evaluated in composite 0.03Li2ZrO3 · 0.97LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 electrodes; glassy LixZrO2 + x/2 (0) products can be produced from colloidal ZrO2 for surface coatings.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 2003/09//9/1/2003 VL - 22 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4566 SN - 02614189 AB - To clarify RAD51 interactions controlling homologous recombination, we report here the crystal structure of the full-length RAD51 homolog from Pyrococcus furiosus. The structure reveals how RAD51 proteins assemble into inactive heptameric rings and active DNA-bound filaments matching three-dimensional electron microscopy reconstructions. A polymerization motif (RAD51-PM) tethers individual subunits together to form assemblies. Subunit interactions support an allosteric 'switch' promoting ATPase activity and DNA binding roles for the N-terminal domain helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) motif. Structural and mutational results characterize RAD51 interactions with the breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA2 in higher eukaryotes. A designed P.furiosus RAD51 mutant binds BRC repeats and forms BRCA2-dependent nuclear foci in human cells in response to γ-irradiation-induced DNA damage, similar to human RAD51. These results show that BRCA2 repeats mimic the RAD51-PM and imply analogous RAD51 interactions with RAD52 and RAD54. Both BRCA2 and RAD54 may act as antagonists and chaperones for RAD51 filament assembly by coupling RAD51 interface exchanges with DNA binding. Together, these structural and mutational results support an interface exchange hypothesis for coordinated protein interactions in homologous recombination.

We review over 70 industrial case studies from widely available published databases, followed by an analysis of the representation of productivity benefits in energy modeling. We propose a method to include productivity benefits in the economic assessment of the potential for energy efficiency improvement. The case-study review suggests that energy efficiency investments can provide a significant boost to overall productivity within industry. If this relationship holds, the description of energy-efficient technologies as opportunities for larger productivity improvements has significant implications for conventional economic assessments. The paper explores the implications this change in perspective on the evaluation of energy-efficient technologies for a study of the iron and steel industry in the US. This examination shows that including productivity benefits explicitly in the modeling parameters would double the cost-effective potential for energy efficiency improvement, compared to an analysis excluding those benefits. We provide suggestions for future research in this important area.

When used in detailed building energy analysis programs, this correlation is expected to give more accurate calculation of roof loads, which are sensitive to outside surface convection. In our analysis, about 90% of the variance of the data was explained by a model that combined standard flat-plate equations for natural and forced convection and that took surface roughness into account. We give expressions for the convective air-film coefficient: (1) at an arbitrary point on a convex-shaped roof, for a given wind direction; (2) averaged over a strip along the wind direction; and (3) averaged over a rectangular roof for a given wind direction.

T1 - Constant rate natural gas production from a well in a hydrate reservoir JO - Energy Conversion & Management JF - Energy Conversion & Management Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 44 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 2403 SN - 01968904 AB - Using a computational model, production of natural gas at a constant rate from a well that is drilled into a confined methane hydrate reservoir is studied. It is assumed that the pores in the reservoir are partially saturated with hydrate. A linearized model for an axisymmetric condition with a fixed well output is used in the analysis. For different reservoir temperatures and various well outputs, time evolutions of temperature and pressure profiles, as well as the gas flow rate in the hydrate zone and the gas region, are evaluated. The distance of the decomposition front from the well as a function of time is also computed. It is shown that to maintain a constant natural gas production rate, the well pressure must be decreased with time. A constant low production rate can be sustained for a long duration of time, but a high production rate demands unrealistically low pressure at the well after a relatively short production time. The simulation results show that the process of natural gas production in a hydrate reservoir is a sensitive function of reservoir temperature and hydrate zone permeability.

JO - Environmental Technology JF - Environmental Technology Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 24 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1087 EP - 1095 SN - 09593330 AB - The present paper reports experimental results on the removal of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from simulated flue gas using a copper oxide coated on alumina sorbent/catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method. Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by ammonia over sol-gel derived CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbents/catalysts with different degrees of sulfation was studied in a fixed-bed packed reactor. The optimum temperature for NO reduction was found at 350°C for both fresh and sulfated catalysts. The properties for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO by the sol-gel-derived CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbents were studied using simulated dry flue gas. The optimum operating temperature for the combined deSO2/deNO operations was identified at 350 °C. At the space velocity of 5200 h-1 and 350°C, a fixed-bed reactor packed with the 7.9 wt% CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbent prepared by the sol-gel method offers SO2 sorption capacity of 2.3 mmol g-1 and NO conversion of 92% with a dry simulated flue gas as the feed. Under these experimental conditions, the sol-gel derived sorbents/catalysts have comparable efficiency for removal of SO2 and NOx as their commercial counterparts. The significantly higher crush strength of the sol-gel derived sorbents/catalysts make them very promising for their use in the copper oxide process for combined removal of SO2 and NOx from flue gas in a single unit operation.

The frequencies of endogenous oxidized purine clusters (recognized by Escherichia coli Fpg protein), oxidized pyrimidine clusters (recognized by Nth protein), and abasic clusters (cleavage by Nfo protein) were determined using quantitative gel electrophoresis, electronic imaging, and number average length analysis. Methods of DNA isolation and storage were found to affect cluster levels significantly. In bacteriophage T7 DNA prepared using stringent conditions, the frequencies of these clusters were <1/Mbp. In DNA from unirradiated human 28SC monocytes, the levels of such clusters were, at most, a few per gigabase pair.

Work reported here has been concentrating on experimental studies and calculations of pellet mass loss during transfer in a guiding tube as a function of pellet parameters such as velocity and ice composition, and guiding track characteristics such as vacuum conductance, geometry, size and shape of cross-section. Results from ASDEX Upgrade and ORNL systems suggest, that centripetal loads on the pellets due to small radii bends in the systems strongly increase the erosion of pellet ice. A deleterious effect of accumulated gas due to sublimated D2-ice blocking the tube and eroding subsequent pellets has been found. However, an efficient vacuum pumping set up for a given pellet repetition rate can significantly improve the mass conservation with respect to closed tube systems.

High purity AlN samples decreased their weights after the sintering test in Li in contact with vanadium alloy over 973 K, while those in Li not in contact with the vanadium alloy survived up to 1073 K. Nitrogen dissolution from AlN into the liquid Li and absorption of dissolved nitrogen by vanadium alloy are considered to be a corrosion mechanism. Small decreases of electrical resistance were observed after the sintering tests over 873 K because of the conductive corrosion layer on the surface caused by the nitrogen dissolution. In the cases of low purity AlN samples sintered over 973 K, large weight decreases were explained by fragile grain boundary caused by oxygen dissolution. The oxygen dissolution may also results in the resistivity decrease even at 723 K. Therefore, decrease of oxygen impurity in AlN and addition of nitrogen in liquid Li are considered to give a possible solution to the Li/AlN corrosion problem in the Li/AlN/V alloy blanket system.

Key issues of the cyclic IFE operation include intense photon and ion deposition, wall thermal and hydrodynamic evolution, wall erosion and fatigue lifetime, and chamber clearing and evacuation to ensure desirable conditions prior to next target implosion. Several methods for wall protection have been proposed in the past, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. These methods include use of solid bare walls, gas-filled cavities, and liquid walls/jets. Detailed models have been developed for reflected laser light, emitted photons, neutrons, and target debris deposition and interaction with chamber components and have been implemented in the comprehensive heights software package. The hydrodynamic response of gas-filled cavities and photon radiation transport of the deposited energy have been calculated by means of new and advanced numerical techniques for accurate shock treatment and propagation. Photon radiation transport models are developed for either the gas-filled cavity or in the evolving vapor cloud layer above the wall surface. The focus of this work is to examine the overall wall response and lifetime due to various erosion mechanisms.

Key parameters and mechanisms are: density, moderation, and threshold reactions such as (n, 2n) and (n, 3n). Using computed time-dependent neutron intensities in the structural wall, we present a Multiscale Modeling study of pulse (1–10 Hz) irradiation in Fe, up to the level of defect microscopic characterization depending on time irradiation. Final responses of the microscopic structure after irradiation to 10−3 dpa are reported, and the differences with a continuous irradiation, for a still low irradiation fluence, are remarked. A new code based on tight binding molecular dynamics has been developed for studying SiC; and its first applications to different temperature-dependent situations demonstrates a reliable proof of principle of the new model. An efficient Multiscale Modeling systematic approach of SiC is lacking; starting with the absence of an appropriate description of defects and its diffusion. That goal can be obtained using this TBMD accurate tool.

Mainstream SiC grains are enriched in s-process barium and show a spread in isotopic composition from solar to dominantly s-process. In the relatively coarse grain size fraction analyzed, there are large grain-to-grain variations of barium isotopic composition. Comparison of single grain data with models of nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars indicates that the grains most likely come from low mass carbon-rich AGB stars (1.5 to 3 solar masses) of about solar metallicity and with approximately solar initial proportions of r- and s-process isotopes. Measurements of single grains imply a wide variety of neutron-to-seed ratios, in agreement with previous measurements of strontium, zirconium and molybdenum isotopic compositions of single presolar SiC grains.

These analyses are challenging in that the grains are very small, the largest being perhaps a few microns in diameter, and contain only trace concentrations of heavy elements, generally on the order of ppm. In addition, isotopic analysis requires the suppression of isobaric interferences. We describe a unique instrument, based on resonant ionization mass spectrometry, that has successfully characterized such grains for the past several years, and report on some recent upgrades that significantly enhance the instrumental capabilities. The fundamental principles and operational details are discussed, along with illustrative results and plans for future modifications.

T1 - Late Quaternary lake-level changes constrained by radiocarbon and stable isotope studies on sediment cores from Lake Titicaca, South America JO - Global & Planetary Change JF - Global & Planetary Change Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 38 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 273 SN - 09218181 AB - We present and compare AMS-14C geochronologies for sediment cores recovered from Lake Titicaca, South America. Radiocarbon dates from three core sites constrain the timing of late Quaternary paleoenvironmental changes in the Central Andes and highlight the site-specific factors that limit the radiocarbon geochronometer. With the exception of mid-Holocene sediments, all cores are generally devoid of macrophyte fragments, thus bulk organic fractions are used to build core chronologies. Comparisons of radiocarbon results for chemically defined fractions (bulk decalcified, humate, humin) suggest that ages derived from all fractions are generally coherent in the post-13,500 yr BP time interval. In the pre-13,500 yr BP time interval, ages derived from humate extracts are significantly younger (300–7000 years) than ages from paired humin residues. Gross age incoherencies between paired humate and humin sub-fractions in pre-13,500 yr BP sediments from all core sites probably reflect the net downward migration of humates. Ages derived from bulk decalcified fractions at our shallow water (90 m) and deep water (230 m) core sites consistently fall between ages derived from humate and humin sub-fractions in the pre-13,500 yr BP interval, reflecting that the bulk decalcified fraction is predominantly a mixture of humate and humin sub-fractions. Bulk decalcified ages from the pre-13,500 yr BP interval at our intermediate depth core site (150 m) are consistently older than humate (youngest) and humin sub-fractions. This uniform, reproducible pattern can be explained by the mobilization of a relatively older organic sub-fraction during and after the re-acidification step following the alkaline treatment of the bulk sediment. The inferred existence of this ‘alkali-mobile, acid-soluble’ sub-fraction implies a different depositional/post-depositional history that is potentially associated with a difference in source material. While internally consistent geochronologies can be developed for the Lake Titicaca sequence using different organic fractions, mobile organic sub-fractions and fractions containing mobile sub-fractions should generally be avoided in geochronology studies. Consequently, we believe humin and/or bulk decalcified ages provide the most consistent chronologies for the post-13,500 yr BP interval, and humin ages provide the most representative ages for sedimentation prior to 13,500 yr BP interval.Using the age model derived from the deep water core site and a previously published isotope-based lake-level reconstruction, we present a qualitative record of lake level in the context of several ice-core records from the western hemisphere. We find the latest Pleistocene lake-level response to changing insolation began during or just prior to the Bølling/Allerød period. Using the isotope-based lake-level reconstruction, we also find the 85-m drop in lake level that occurred during the mid-Holocene was synchronous with an increase in the variability of ice-core δ18O from a nearby icecap, but was not reflected in any of the polar ice-core records recovered from the interior of Antarctica and Greenland.

A controlled study was conducted at the HAZMAT Spill Center at the Nevada Test Site, where the sensor was tested under a range of temperature, moisture, and trichloroethylene (TCE) concentrations. The sensor responded rapidly when exposed to TCE placed in sand, and it also responded to decreases in TCE vapor concentration when clean air was vented through the system. Variations in temperature and water vapor concentration impacted baseline chemiresistor signals, but at high TCE concentrations the sensor response was dominated by the TCE exposure. Test results showed that the detection limit of the chemiresistor to TCE vapor in the presence of fluctuating environmental variables (i.e., temperature and water vapor concentration) was on the order of 1000 parts per million by volume, which is about an order of magnitude higher than values obtained in controlled laboratory environments. Automated temperature control and preconcentration is recommended to improve the stability and sensitivity of the chemiresistor sensor.

Single-shock compression produces substantial heating, which causes a limiting compression. Multiple-shock compression is quasi-isentropic, which achieves lower temperatures and higher densities than single shocks, and has no limiting compression. Diatomic fluids have universal behaviors under dynamic compression. Under multiple-shock compression, these fluids undergo density-driven nonmetal-metal Mott transitions, probably in the monatomic state, with common density scaling at ∼100 GPa. Under single-shock compression, these fluids have essentially the same Hugoniot in velocity space. D 2 undergoes temperature-driven dissociation to a poor metal at ∼50 GPa. These results provide insight into which of the two published D 2 Hugoniots is probably correct.

With a FWHM (full width at half maximum) of 0″.2, Kalliope (apparent size of about 0″.15) was not resolved but it was possible to separate the secondary from its primary whose apparent separation was of the order of 0″.7 with a magnitude difference of 3.22±0.20. As each set of observations spanned a few days of time, they are well distributed along the secondary''s orbit, enabling us to accurately estimate its orbit.The satellite orbits 22 Kalliope in a prograde manner with respect to Kalliope''s rotational spin (which is in a retrograde sense relative to its orbit around the Sun), on a highly inclined (i=19.8±2.0 with respect to the equator of 22 Kalliope) and moderately eccentric orbit (e=0.07±0.02) with an orbital period of 3.58±0.08 days. The semi-major axis is 1020±40 km. Using Kalliope''s diameter as determined from IRAS data, the asteroid''s bulk density is about 2.03±0.16 g cm−3, suggestive of a highly porous body with a porosity of 70% considering that the grain density of its meteoritic analog is of ∼7.4 g cm−3. This suggests a rubble pile, rather than solid, body. The measured nodal precession rate of the secondary''s orbit seems to be much higher than expected from Kalliope''s oblateness, assuming a homogeneous body (constant density). This suggests that Kalliope may be 60% more elongated or 35% larger than presently believed or/and that its internal structure is highly inhomogeneous with a denser outer shell.

Keck I telescope, we observed near-infrared emission at 2.2 μm from volcanic hotspots on Io in July–August 1998. Using several hundreds of short-exposure images we reconstructed diffraction-limited images of Io on each of three nights. We measured the positions of individual hotspots to ±0.004″ or better, corresponding to a relative positional error of ∼20 km on Io''s surface. The sensitivity of normal ground-based images of Io is limited by confusion between overlapping sources; by resolving these multiple points we detected up to 17 distinct hotspots, the largest number ever seen in a single image.During the month-long span of our 1998 observations, several events occurred. Loki was at the end of a long brightening, and we observed it to fade in flux by a factor of 2.8 over the course of one month. At the 3-sigma level we see evidence that Loki''s position shifts by ∼100 km. This suggests that the brightening may not have been located at the “primary” Loki emission center but at a different source within the Loki caldera. We also see a bright transient source near Loki. Among many other sources we detect a dim source on the limb of Io at the latitude of Pele; this source is consistent with 2.7% of the thermal emission from the Pele volcano complex being scattered by the Pele plume, which would be the first detection of a plume through scattered infrared hotspot emission.

Upon review of this result, there appear to be several philosophical and technical issues that invalidate the result including the use of a resettling condition and the lack of boundedness of the learning estimate. The intent of this comment is to highlight these technical errors, especially since the boundedness of the learning estimate has historically been a problematic issue.

Existing methods use both local features and global layout information. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm based on the global matching of Component Block Projections (CBP), which are the concatenated directional projection vectors of the component blocks of a document image. Compared to those existing methods, CBP-based template-matching methods possess two major advantages: 1) The spatial relationship among the component blocks of a document image is better represented, hence a very high matching accuracy can be obtained even for a large template set and seriously distorted input images; and 2) the effective matching distance of each template and the triangle inequality are proposed to significantly reduce the computational cost. Our experimental results confirm these advantages and show that the CBP-based template-matching methods are very suitable for DIR applications.

JO - Indoor Air JF - Indoor Air Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 13 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 267 EP - 276 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09056947 AB - Abstract We describe a framework for developing response recommendations to unexpected toxic pollutant releases in commercial buildings. It may be applied in conditions where limited building- and event-specific information is available. The framework is based on a screening-level methodology to develop insights, or rules-of-thumb, into the behavior of airflow and pollutant transport. A three-stage framework is presented: (1) develop a building taxonomy to identify generic, or prototypical, building configurations; (2) characterize uncertainty and conduct simulation modeling to predict typical airflow and pollutant transport behavior; and (3) rank uncertainty contributions to determine how information obtained at a site might reduce uncertainties in the model predictions. The approach is applied to study a hypothetical pollutant release on the first floor of a five-story office building. Key features that affect pollutant transport are identified and described by value ranges in the building stock. Simulation modeling provides predictions and uncertainty estimates of time-dependent pollutant concentrations, following a release, for a range of indoor and outdoor conditions. In this exercise, we predict concentrations on the fifth floor to be an order of magnitude less than on the first, coefficients of variation greater than 2, and information about the HVAC operation and window position most reducing uncertainty in predicted peak concentrations. Practical Implications In the event of a toxic pollutant release in or near a building, first-responders are faced with making rapid response decisions with little – and often highly uncertain – information. This paper presents an analytical framework for developing such rapid response decisions and statistical tools for describing and ranking the associated uncertainties. An algorithmic decision tree, based on this analysis framework, can be developed in the future for identifying the best possible rapid-response decisions in the field, based on available information. Such software can be placed, for example, on a personal digital assistant of first-responders.

GD analysis enables one to propose a way to improve the thermal stability of ferroelectric microwave devices. In particular, parameters of a L -band digital (0°/180°) phase-shifter fabricated from thick BSTO film varactors were stabilized in the temperature range T = (210-310) K by application of variable to DC control voltages.

The influence of substrate and annealing procedure on the crystalline structure and dielectric properties of these ferroelectric thin films are investigated. The obtained experimental data are analyzed in terms of the Landau theory taking into account the room-temperature lattice mismatch of the ferroelectric and substrates as well as the difference in their thermal expansion. It is shown that the behavior of the SrTiO 3 thin films could not be attributed to the effect of the film/substrate mechanical coupling. As a possible nature of the observed behavior one can consider the non-stoichiometry of the film composition caused by the chemical contact of the film with the substrate and by the annealing.

High secondary ion yields following the impact of individual highly charged ions allow the application of coincidence counting techniques. Statistical analysis of secondary ion emission events gives insight on the surface chemistry of single molecules. While not a direct imaging technique, coincidence analysis allows the characterization of surfaces on a length scale of a few nanometers, well beyond limits imposed by probe beam sizes. We apply this capability to the analysis of gramicidin S and its interaction with sodium impurities and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid matrix molecules.

This model takes into account both the dynamical responses of dislocations during the flight process and thermal activations while dislocations are bound by obstacle arrays. The average thermal activation rate is estimated using an analytical model based on the generalized Friedel relations. Then, the average flight velocity after an activation event is obtained numerically by discrete dislocation dynamics (DD). To simulate the dynamical dislocation behavior, the inertia term is implemented into the equation of dislocation motion within the DD code. The results from the DD simulations, coupled with the analytical model, determine the total dislocation velocity as a function of the stress and temperatures. By choosing parameters typical of the face centered cubic metals, the model reproduces both obstacle control and drag control motion in low and high velocity regimes, respectively. As expected by other string models, dislocation overshoots of obstacles caused by the dislocation inertia at the collisions are enhanced as temperature goes down.

The deposits are of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT), hosted by carbonate rocks and dominated by sphalerite mineralization in strata-bound breccia bodies. We have utilized the high spatial resolution (20–30 μm) of the ion microprobe to obtain in situ sulfur isotopic analyses from discrete growth zones of sphalerite and analyses of associated pyrite.Two types of pyrite were noted: pre-sphalerite, diagenetic pyrite (δ34S of −16.1‰ and −20.0‰) and syn-sphalerite pyrite that is intergrown with sphalerite (δ34S of 31.3‰ to 33.7‰). Two textural varieties of sphalerite mineralization (banded and non-banded) were characterized. Banded sphalerite exhibits fine (μm to cm) banding that has grown around a carbonate substrate. Banded sphalerite has δ34S values from 27.8‰ to 51.0‰, high Cd contents (up to 0.96 wt.%) and dark areas that are likely due to minute inclusions of organic carbon. The non-banded sphalerite has δ34S values from 20.2‰ to 39.5‰, high Fe content and no organic inclusions.Regardless of the textural variety of sphalerite mineralization, our results show that the sulfur isotopic composition within a single polished thin section is heterogeneous and can vary by as much as 15‰. The δ34S values recorded in this study are among the heaviest ever reported for MVT deposits. The microscale δ34S variations and presence of high δ34S values have been previously undocumented for East Tennessee. The data presented here suggest multiple sulfur sources and sulfide precipitation by fluid mixing. The most probable scenario involves significant sulfur input from a sulfate- and metal-bearing fluid of variable δ34S composition mixing with a gas cap containing H2S of relatively homogeneous δ34S composition. The gas cap provided lesser amounts of sulfur to the system. Mixing of two isotopically different sulfur sources of variable proportions can account for the observed microscale variation in δ34S.

Lake temperatures in the model were based on analyses derived from daily satellite measurements. The model performance was evaluated using operational surface and upper-air meteorological measurements and surface chemical measurements. Reasonable agreement between the simulations and observations was obtained. The bias (predicted - observed) over the simulation period was only -1.3 ppb for the peak ozone mixing ratio during the day and 5.5 ppb for the minimum ozone mixing ratio at night. High ozone production rates were produced over the surface of the lakes as a result of stable atmospheric conditions that trapped ozone precursors within a shallow layer during the day. In one location, an increase of 200 ppb of ozone over a 9-h period was produced by chemical production that was offset by losses of 110 ppb through vertical mixing, horizontal transport, and deposition. The predicted ozone was also sensitive to lake temperatures. A simulation with climatological lake temperatures produced ozone mixing ratios over the lakes and around the lake shores that differed from the simulation with observed lake temperatures by as much as 50 ppb, while the differences over land were usually 10 ppb or less. Through a series of sensitivity studies that varied ozone precursor emissions, it was shown that a reduction of 50% in NO[sub x] or volatile organic compounds would lower the 60-ppb ozone exposure by up to 50 h month[sup -1] in the remote forest regions over the northern Great Lakes. The implications of these results on future climate change and air quality in the region are discussed.

Two distinct phenomena, downstream instabilities and source oscillations, occur in certain domains of gas pressure, radio frequency power, and electronegative gas chemistry. The downstream instabilities develop at some location well below the plasma source. They are consistent with ion two-stream instabilities, in inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) with sufficiently long downstream regions. Source oscillations consist of large amplitude density variations within the ICP plasma. They are consistent with capacitive to inductive mode transitions, in ICPs with sufficiently large capacitive currents.© 2003 American Institute of Physics.

It has been suggested that these donors are responsible for the large increases in electron concentration seen in ZnO samples annealed at elevated temperatures in H[sub 2] gas. In order to make a quantitative connection between the amount of dissolved hydrogen and any observed changes in electrical properties, we have annealed single crystal ZnO samples from several sources in H[sub 2] and D[sub 2] gas at 750 °C and compared the observed changes in carrier concentration with nuclear reaction analysis and secondary ion mass spectrometry profiles of deuterium. We find that the amount of deuterium remaining in our gas-charged samples is ∼3.6–5.5×10[sup 17] cm[sup -3], substantially larger than the increase seen in conduction band electron densities at 350 K. Our modeling indicates that these gas treatments produce a hydrogen-related donor state at 0.036±0.004 eV below the conduction band minimum and also cause significant increases in the measured conduction band electron mobility. These mobility increases and other features of our data strongly suggest that a substantial fraction of the dissolved hydrogen forms complexes with (passivates) acceptor impurities. Analysis of optical and electrical data also indicates that, while hydrogen is present in significant amounts in as-received samples, it is not the dominant “native” donor. Several infrared absorption peaks are observed before and after H[sub 2]/D[sub 2] exposure, which we identify with local O–H/D stretch modes. The most prominent of these has an asymmetric absorption peak at 3546 cm-1 arising from a c-axis oriented defect dipole, which is postulated to be hydrogen located in a bond-centered position between oxygen and zinc atoms. Comparisons are made between our experimental results and density functional theory calculations. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Heating samples at a slow, controlled rate in a differential thermal analyzer showed that the reduction of CuO[sub x] and the oxidation of Al proceeded via two separate exotherms. To analyze this reaction pathway, samples were heated to various temperatures within these exotherms, quenched, and characterized with x-ray diffraction, Auger depth profiling, and transmission electron microscopy. Experimental evidence indicates that in the first reaction, CuO[sub x] is reduced to a mixture of CuO and Cu[sub 2]O and an interfacial layer of Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] grows to coalescence; the final products of the second exotherm are Cu, Al[sub 2]O[sub 3], and Cu[sub 2]O. The first exotherm was believed to be controlled by the two-dimensional, interface-limited growth of the Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] layer, while the second exotherm was believed to be controlled by both the diffusion-limited one-dimensional growth of the Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] and the interface-controlled growth of the Cu due to the reduction of Cu[sub 2]O. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The Raman transverse optical (TO) mode is deconvoluted into two Gaussian functions for a-Si:H and intermediate components and one Lorenzian function for the c-Si component. We found that (a) in general, the change in structure is a function of the ratio of hydrogen to silane gas flow, R, but also depends on the SiH[sub 4] flow rate and total gas pressure; (b) there is a narrow structural transition region in which the short-range order of the a-Si:H network improves, i.e., the variation in bond angle of the a-Si network decreases from ∼10° to ∼8° once the c-Si grains start to grow; and (c) when the films were deposited using a high SiH[sub 4] flow rate of 22 sccm, the narrow TO mode with low peak frequency could be related to the column-like structures. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We find that the essential character of the response—multiple resonances corresponding to spatial harmonics of standing plasmons under the metal grating—is caused by the static spatial modulation of electron density in the channel. Higher order plasmon modes become more optically active as the depth of the electron density modulation in the DQW tends towards unity. The maximum absorbance, at plasma resonance, is shown to be 1/2. Furthermore, the strongest absorption also occurs when the standing plasmon resonance coincides with the fundamental dipole mode of the ungated portion of the channel. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 185 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5248 EP - 5262 SN - 00219193 AB - The genome sequence of bacteriophage φA1122 has been determined. φA1122 grows on almost all isolates of Yersinia pestis and is used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a diagnostic agent for the causative agent of plague. φA1122 is very closely related to coliphage T7; the two genomes are colinear, and the genome-wide level of nucleotide identity is about 89%. However, a quarter of the φA1122 genome, one that includes about half of the morphogenetic and maturation functions, is significantly more closely related to coliphage T3 than to T7. It is proposed that the yersiniophage φA1122 recombined with a close relative of the Y. enterocolitica phage φYeO3-12 to yield progeny phages, one of which became the classic T3 coliphage of Demerec and Fano (M. Demerec and U. Fano, Genetics 30:119-136, 1945).

The cellular distribution of platinum(IV) drugs after 24 h is similar to that of cisplatin, consistent with the majority of administered platinum(IV) drugs being reduced. Micro-X-ray absorption near-edge spectra of cells treated with cisplatin and platinum(IV) complexes confirmed the reduction of platinum(IV) to platinum(II). In cells treated, the most difficult to reduce complex, cis, trans, cis-[PtCl 2(OH) 2(NH 3) 2], platinum(IV) was detected in the cells along with platinum(II). The observations are in accordance with the relative ease of reduction of the platinum(IV) complexes used and support the requirement of reduction for activation of platinum(IV) complexes.

PTFE treated with NH[sub 3] + O[sub 2] plasma was physiochemically distinct from surfaces treated with plasma of either NH[sub 3] or O[sub 2] alone, as determined by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). The contact angle analysis revealed that the PTFE surfaces became less hydrophobic after plasma treatments. ESCA results indicate the presence of oxygen-containing groups and nitrogen-containing groups at the plasma-treated surfaces. PTFE treated with NH[sub 3] + O[sub 2] plasma resisted the attachment of platelets and leukocytes in a manner similar to untreated PTFE; however, the attachment of bovine aorta endothelial cells was substantially increased. Once attached, these cells grew to confluency. The increased endothelial cell attachment was higher than that observed following plasma treatment with each gas used separately, which could be attributed to the considerable amount of CF(OR)[sub 2]-CF[sub 2] formed on the NH[sub 3] + O[sub 2] plasma-treated PTFE surface. At 14 days after subcutaneous implantation in rats, the PTFE wafers treated with NH[sub 3] + O[sub 2] plasma demonstrated less encapsulation and lower levels of inflammatory cells compared to controls. Collectively, the results suggest that NH3 + O2 plasma treatment imparts a unique character to PTFE and could be useful in certain in vivo applications.

The DFT models of interest are non-local theories which accurately treat hard-sphere fluid mixtures; attractive inter-particle potentials (Lennard–Jones) are added as perturbations. In this paper, we develop and demonstrate a new efficient method for an accurate non-local DFT. The method described here differs from previous work in the use of fast fourier transform (FFT) methods to carry out the convolutions. As with our previous real space work (J. Comput. Phys. 159(2) (2000) 407, 425), we demonstrate that the Fourier space approach can be solved with a Newton–GMRES approach; however, we now employ a very efficient matrix-free algorithm. A simple but effective preconditioner is presented. The method is demonstrated with calculations performed for one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems, including problems with single and multicomponent fluids. Timing comparisons with previous implementations are given.

For many years, most oil field wastes were disposed of at a significant cost. However, over the past decade, the industry has developed many processes and technologies to minimize the generation of wastes and to more safely and economically dispose of the waste that is generated. Many companies follow a three-tiered waste management approach. First, companies try to minimize waste generation when possible. Next, they try to find ways to reuse or recycle the wastes that are generated. Finally, the wastes that cannot be reused or recycled must be disposed of. Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) has evaluated the feasibility of various oil field waste management technologies for the U.S. Department of Energy. This paper describes four of the technologies Argonne has reviewed. In the area of waste minimization, the industry has developed synthetic-based drilling muds (SBMs) that have the desired drilling properties of oil-based muds without the accompanying adverse environmental impacts. Use of SBMs avoids significant air pollution from work boats hauling offshore cuttings to shore for disposal and provides more efficient drilling than can be achieved with water-based muds. Downhole oil/water separators have been developed to separate produced water from oil at the bottom of wells. The produced water is directly injected to an underground formation without ever being lifted to the surface, thereby avoiding potential for groundwater or soil contamination. In the area of reuse/recycle, Argonne has worked with Southeastern Louisiana University and industry to develop a process to use treated drill cuttings to restore wetlands in coastal Louisiana. Finally, in an example of treatment and disposal, Argonne has conducted a series of four baseline studies to characterize the use of salt caverns for safe and economic disposal of oil field wastes.

Next, we point out that insight into the scarcity value of an ecosystem service can be gained generally by examining the manner in which the state of an ecosystem responds to changes in environmental conditions. Following this, we specialize our discussion to the case of eutrophication in lakes. This leads us to pose and analyze a stochastic control problem of lake management in which ecological thresholds are salient. Finally, we show that this stochastic control theoretic framework can be used to obtain a numerical value that is closely related to the scarcity value of an ecosystem service provided by lakes.

A novel RF system producing frequencies in the range of 20 to 60 kHz was developed. Electric field strengths of 20 and 30 kV/cm were applied to suspensions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in water over a temperature range of 35 to 55°C. The flow rate was 1.2 liters/min. The S. cerevisiae population was reduced by 2.1 ± 0.1 log units following exposure to a 30-kV/cm field at 40°C. The results of the present study provide the first evidence that strong RF electric fields inactivate microorganisms at moderately low temperatures. Increasing the field strength, the number of treatments, and the temperature enhanced inactivation. Frequency had no effect on inactivation over the range of frequencies studied.

JO - Journal of Geology JF - Journal of Geology Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 111 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 525 PB - University of Chicago Press SN - 00221376 AB - Temporary storage of sediment within alluvial valley floors modulates the long-term transport of sediment through landscapes. The fate of weathering minerals or sediment-bound constituents in fluvial environments depends on the relative time scales of constituent degradation and particle residence time within valleys. Particles follow a set of trajectories through valley floors: some particles pass directly through the channel, reaching the basin outlet rapidly after being introduced to the fluvial system; others remain for long periods in deposits such as flood plains. Traditional sediment routing theory, based on the principle of sediment mass conservation along reaches of channel, does not account for exchanges of sediment with temporary sediment storage reservoirs outside the channel, such as flood plains, deltas, and alluvial fans. This article formalizes a theory that incorporates the role of such exchanges in the migration of sediment through river systems, by computing the probabilistic structure of particle trajectories through alluvial valley floors. Equations are developed for computing these trajectories from the sediment budget of a valley floor in steady state. Mathematical strategies for using such relationships to model transient storage conditions are proposed, and other potential model enhancements are discussed. The approach is illustrated using a hypothetical valley floor as an example. The theory can be used to examine rates of sediment overturn in valleys, map particle residence times, and account for the redistribution and decomposition of weathering minerals and particle-bound constituents. The theory has numerous potential management applications, some of which are discussed herein. The hypothetical example demonstrates that the probability distribution of particle residence times in the valleys of most alluvial rivers should be strongly right skewed.

We found evidence of nesting terrapins at three locations within the Recreation Area and focused our research on the islands of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Female terrapins nested from early June through early August and oviposited at least two clutches per year. Mean clutch size was 10.9 eggs. Nesting activity increased with daily high temperature and high tide. The greatest number of terrapin nests was found in shrubland, dune, and mixed-grassland habitats, but nest densities were higher on a human-made sandy trail and on sandy beaches. We estimate that approximately 2053 nests were oviposited on the largest island in the refuge in 1999. In 1998 and 1999, we counted 1319 and 1840 depredated nests, respectively, throughout the refuge. Raccoons were introduced into Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge approximately 20 yr prior to this study. Raccoons depredated 92.2% of nests monitored on the largest island during the 1999 nesting season. We also found the carcasses of adult female terrapins that apparently were killed by raccoons as they came on land to nest. This terrapin population may be undergoing demographic changes as a result of the introduction of raccoons.

Both “HX” (1H, X, and 2H channels) and “triple-resonance” (1H, 15N, 13C, and 2H) probes were implemented using a single transmit/receive coil and multiple-frequency impedance matching circuits. The coil used was a six-turn solenoid with an observe volume of 15 μl. A variable pitch design was used to improve the B1 homogeneity of the coil. Two-dimensional HSQC spectra of ∼1 mM single labeled 15N- and double labeled 15N/13C-proteins were acquired in experimental times of approximately 2 h. Triple-resonance capability of the small-volume triple-resonance probe was demonstrated by acquiring three-dimensional HNCO spectra from the same protein samples. In addition to enabling very small quantities of protein to be used, the extremely short pulse widths (1H=4, 15N=4, and 13C=2 μs) of this particular design result in low power decoupling and wide-bandwidth coverage, an important factor for the ever-higher operating frequencies used for protein NMR studies.

However, its practical implementation still presents challenging problems, among them the control of nuclear spins over broad frequency offset intervals. The present study introduces an efficient method of encoding the phase of the magnetization when the variation of the static field along the sample is much larger than the RF amplitude. The procedure is based on the use of consecutively applied full-passage adiabatic pulses. The induced phase modulation is broadband and selective because it does not depend on the offset relative to the central frequency and the limits can be sharply defined. Finally, the encoded phase depends almost linearly on the local RF amplitude. All these features enable the recovery of an inhomogeneity-free spectrum with amplitudes close to the theoretically attainable maximum.

Two types of samples were synthesized: (1) powder and (2) chemically substituted and unsubstituted hot pressed pellets prepared from mechanically alloyed powders. χ(T) measurements on a powder sample revealed temperature-independent diamagnetism with a Curie–Weiss impurity concentration equivalent to ∼1 mol% of spin- 1/2 ions. In contrast, M(T) and M(H) data on the hot pressed samples, both substituted and unsubstituted, showed evidence of ferromagnetic transitions above ∼330 K. Scanning electron microscopy and Auger microprobe analysis of the hot pressed samples indicated that both substituted and unsubstituted samples contained significant concentrations of Fe impurities. We conclude that pure MgAlB14 is neither a superconductor nor a ferromagnet above 1.8 K and exhibits temperature-independent diamagnetism from 1.8 K up to room temperature. The ferromagnetism observed in the hot pressed samples is likely due to Fe impurities abraded from the stainless steel mills used to mix the starting materials prior to hot pressing the samples.

Measurements were made on laser beam-heated liquids at 2000-2100 K held in an aerodynamic levitator. Pure vanadium levitation nozzles were used. Reduction of the nozzle wall thickness decreased attenuation of scattered neutrons to give a two-fold increase in signal intensity. The liquids are comprised of predominantly 4-coordinated aluminum and 6- and higher-coordinated group II metal ions.

Deformation microstructure changed progressively from a dislocation network dominant to a large stacking fault/twin band dominant microstructure with increasing radiation dose and with decreasing test temperature. Also, an increased strain level enhanced the propensity of deformation twinning. Since the stress was considered to be a key external parameter controlling deformation mechanism in 316LN austenitic stainless steel, the equivalent stress level was estimated for the examined surface of the disk sample. It was possible to categorize the deformation microstructures in terms of the equivalent stress range. A key conclusion is that the austenitic material will deform by forming bands of large stacking faults and twins when the stress exceeds a critical equivalent stress level of about 600 MPa by any of several possible strengthening measures: irradiation, increasing strain level, and decreasing test temperature.

By focusing on the message passing interface (MPI) and by using hardware counters on the microprocessor, we observe each application''s inherent behavioral characteristics: point-to-point and collective communication, and floating-point operations. Furthermore, we explore the sensitivities of these characteristics to both problem size and number of processors. Our analysis reveals several striking similarities across our diverse set of applications including the use of collective operations, especially those collectives with very small data payloads. We also highlight a trend of novel applications parting with regimented, static communication patterns in favor of dynamically evolving patterns, as evidenced by our experiments on applications that use implicit linear solvers and adaptive mesh refinement. Overall, our study contributes a better understanding of the requirements of current and emerging paradigms of scientific computing in terms of their computation and communication demands.

Two approaches are discussed: one approach is based on solving the standard Born-Oppenheimer equation but with double-valued boundary conditions, and the second approach is based on solving a generalized Born-Oppenheimer equation with single-valued boundary conditions. The generalized Born-Oppenheimer equation contains a vector potential which is mathematically equivalent to that of a magnetic solenoid. The recently developed numerical methodology for solving the generalized Born-Oppenheimer equation is reviewed, and several applications of this methodology in chemical reaction dynamics and molecular spectra are discussed. New results from accurate six dimensional quantum reactive scattering calculations for the D + H2(v, j) → HD(v‘, j‘) + H and H + H2(v, j) → H2(v‘, j‘) + H reactions are presented. These calculations are performed both with and without the geometric phase. The geometric phase calculations are done using both the double-valued basis set approach and vector potential approach. The effects of the geometric phase in the reaction probabilities, integral, and differential cross sections are investigated as a function of scattering energy and total angular momentum J.

Treatment of the absorbers in a Cd or Zn containing solution is shown to produce conditions under which efficient solar cells can be fabricated. A similar effect is also observed in CuInGaSSe2 (CIGSS) graded band gap absorbers. These observations can be explained by the ability of Cd and Zn to produce n-type doping or inversion in the surface region. We also provide a brief review of similar work done elsewhere and identify directions for future investigations.

The extraordinary stability of these polar facets originates from the effective neutralization of surface charge by low-energy ordered CuIn antisite or Cu vacancy surface defects, while the relaxed but defect-free (112) surface is metallic and much higher in energy. We explain the low carrier density of the observed faceted surface in terms of autocompensation between opposite-polarity facets.

Generally speaking, an ideal material for SPES application should have both large spin–orbit and positive crystal-field splitting. Currently, almost all sources in use with accelerators are based on photoemission from GaAs and related materials such as strained GaAs grown on GaAsP or InGaAs grown on GaAs. Nevertheless, the reduced critical layer thickness of these strained films leads to poor material quality and, consequently, low quantum efficiency. Besides other ordered ternary semiconductor compounds, tetragonal chalcopyrite ternary compounds have also been considered. However, since all these compounds have zero or negative crystal-field splitting, the achieved polarization and quantum efficiency are rather low. Here we propose a new material, AgGaSe2 in the CuAu phase, as a high-quality SPES. We show that it is possible to grow epitaxially strain-free AgGaSe2 in the CuAu phase on ZnSe substrate. Since this material has a direct-band gap, a large spin–orbit splitting, as well as a large positive crystal-field splitting, it is predicted to be a promising material for SPES with 100% spin polarization.

The compounds adopt a tetragonal structure with P4/mmm space group, Z=1. The lattice parameters for CePdGa6 are a=b=4.350(3) A˚ and c=7.922(6) A˚ and a=b=4.3760(3) A˚ and c=7.9230(5) A˚ for LaPdGa6. Magnetic and thermal measurement have revealed that CePdGa6 is a heavy-fermion with the specific heat coefficient γ∼300 mJ/mol K2 and Ce f moments order antiferromagnetically along c-axis at TN=10 K. Reconfiguration of spin occurs at 5 K to induce a ferromagnetic component only in the a–b plane. This strong anisotropy in the magnetism might be related to its unique layered structure.

SN - 09208542 AB - We discuss hardware/software co-processing on a hybrid processor for a compute- and data-intensive multispectral imaging algorithm, k-means clustering. The experiments are performed on two models of the Altera Excalibur board, the first using the soft IP core 32-bit NIOS 1.1 RISC processor, and the second with the hard IP core ARM processor. In our experiments, we compare performance of the sequential k-means algorithm with three different accelerated versions. We consider granularity and synchronization issues when mapping an algorithm to a hybrid processor. Our results show that speedup of 11.8X is achieved by migrating computation to the Excalibur ARM hardware/software as compared to software only on a Gigahertz Pentium III. Speedup on the Excalibur NIOS is limited by the communication cost of transferring data from external memory through the processor to the customized circuits. This limitation is overcome on the Excalibur ARM, in which dual-port memories, accessible to both the processor and configurable logic, have the biggest performance impact of all the techniques studied.

JO - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 346 SN - 09090495 AB - There is considerable interest in using superconducting electron linacs with energy recovery as synchrotron radiation sources. Such energy recovery lines (ERLs) would open new regimes of X-ray science because they are capable of producing ultra-brilliant X-ray beams [>5 × 10[SUP22] photons s[SUP-1] (0.1% bandwidth)[SUP-1] mm[SUP-2] mrad[SUP-2] at 10 keV], maintaining a very small source size (∼3 μm r.m.s.) suitable for micro X-ray beams, and making very intense fast (∼100 fs) X-ray pulses. Each of these characteristics would permit the execution of experiments that are not feasible with existing synchrotron sources. Many technical issues must be satisfactorily resolved before the potential of a full-scale ERL can be realised, including the generation of high average current (10 to 100 mA), high-brightness electron beams (0.015 to 0.15 nm rad emittances, respectively): acceleration of these beams to energies of 5-7 GeV without unacceptable emittance degradation; stable and efficient operation of superconducting linear accelerators at very high gradients etc. Cornell University, in collaboration with Jefferson Laboratory, has proposed to resolve these issues by the construction of a 100 MeV, 100 mA prototype ERL. The intention is to then utilize the information that is learned from the prototype to propose the construction of a full-scale ERL light source.

JO - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 398 SN - 09090495 AB - Wide-angle X-ray scattering patterns from proteins in solution contain information relevant to the determination of protein fold. At relevant scattering angles, however, these data are weak, and the degree to which they might be used to categorize the fold of a protein is known. Preliminary work has been performed at the BioCAT insertion-device beamline at the Advanced Photon Source which demonstrates that one can collect X-ray scattering data from proteins in solution to spacings of at least 2.2 Å (q = 2.8 Å[SUP-1]). These data are sensitive to protein conformational states, and are in good agreement with the scattering predicted by the program CRYSOL using the known three-dimensional atomic coordinates of the protein. An important issue in the exploitation of this technique as a tool for structural genomics is the extent to which the high intensity of X-rays available at third-generation synchrotron sources chemically or structurally damage proteins. Various data-collection protocols have been investigated demonstrating conditions under which structural degradation of even sensitive proteins can be minimized, making this technique a viable tool for protein fold categorization, the study of protein folding, unfolding, protein-ligand interactions and domain movement.

This architecture is customizable to different classes of applications by functional unit, interconnect, and memory parameters, and can be instantiated efficiently on platform FPGAs. In previous work [IEEE Micro 22(5) (2002)], we have demonstrated the advantage of reconfigurable fabrics for image and signal processing applications. Recently, we have build a fabric generator (FG), a Java-based toolset that greatly accelerates construction of the fabrics. A module-generation library is used to define, instantiate, and interconnect cells’ datapaths. FG also generates customized sequencers for individual cells or collections of cells. We describe the fabric-based system model, the FG toolset, and concrete realizations of fabric architectures generated by FG on the Altera Excalibur ARM that can deliver 4.5 GigaMACs/s (8/16 bit data, multiply-accumulate).

Previously (Lipton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2002, 99, 11049) the peptides from a series of growth conditions of Deinococcus radiodurans have been characterized using capillary LC MS/MS and accurate mass measurements which are captured as an accurate mass and time (AMT) tag database. Using this AMT tag database, detected peptides can be assigned using measurements obtained on a TOF due to the additional use of elution time data as a constraint. When peptide matches are obtained using AMT tags (i.e., using both constraints) unique matches of a mass spectral peak occurs 88% of the time. Not only are AMT tag matches unique in most cases, the coverage of the proteome is high; ∼3500 unique peptide AMT tags are found on average per capillary LC run. From the results of the AMT tag database search, ∼900 ORFs detected using LC-TOFMS, with ∼500 ORFs covered by at least two AMT tags. These results indicate that AMT database searches with modest mass and elution time criteria can provide proteomic information for approximately one thousand proteins in a single run of <3 h. The advantage of this method over using MS/MS based techniques is the large number of identifications that occur in a single experiment as well as the basis for improved quantitation. For MS/MS experiments, the number of peptide identifications is severely restricted because of the time required to dissociate the peptides individually. These results demonstrate the utility of the AMT tag approach using capillary LC-TOF MS instruments, and also show that AMT tags developed using other instrumentation can be effectively utilized.

CA fillers with a grain size of <40 μm were incorporated into the PPS coatings. The cleaved PPS coatings containing fillers then were exposed for up to 20 days in a 200 °C CO2-laden brine. The decalcification–hydration reactions of the CaO.Al2O3 and CaO.2Al2O3 reactants disclosed in the cracks led to the rapid growth of boehmite crystals, while the crystalline calcite phase formed by the carbonation of these reactants was leached out of cracks because of the formation of water-soluble calcium bicarbonate. During exposure for 24 h, the block-like boehmite crystals, ∼4 μm in size, densely filled and sealed the open cracks; this was reflected in an increase in pore resistance to two orders of its magnitude compared with that of cleaved coatings without fillers. Extending the exposure time to 20 days resulted in no change in pore resistance, suggesting that the sealing of the cracks by boehmite crystals played an essential role in reconstituting and restoring the function of the failed coatings as corrosion-preventing barrier. Therefore, CA-filled PPS coatings are able to self-heal and -repair cracks generated on the surfaces of coating films in hydrothermal environments.

A pressure vessel under internal high explosive detonation pressure is typically subjected to two distinct types of loading. Dozens of vessels have been designed, fabricated, and used over the past several decades, even prior to the cessation of underground nuclear testing in 1992. Failure can occur only after the vessel stretches and bends, that is, after the initial impulse has disappeared and the absorption of the impulsive energy begins. Since the limited underground nuclear weapons test ban went into effect, a number of these controlled experiments have been conducted to help model the behavior of explosions and their effects on surrogate materials.

Results from the Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic Survey (FCSS) and the Flair-IT Fornax Surveys have been used to confirm the membership status of galaxies in the Fornax Cluster Catalogue (FCC). In our catalogue of 213 member galaxies, 92 (43 per cent) have confirmed radial velocities. In this paper, we investigate the surface brightness-magnitude relation for Fornax cluster galaxies. Particular attention is given to the sample of cluster dwarfs and the newly discovered ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) from the FCSS. We examine the reliability of the surface brightness--magnitude relation as a method for determining cluster membership and find that at surface brightnesses fainter than 22 mag arcsec2, it fails in its ability to distinguish between cluster members and barely resolved background galaxies. Cluster members exhibit a strong surface brightness--magnitude relation. Both elliptical (E) galaxies and dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies increase in surface brightness as luminosity decreases. The UCDs lie off the locus of the relation. B -- V and V -- I colours are determined for a sample of 113 cluster galaxies and the colour--magnitude relation is explored for each morphological type. The UCDs lie off the locus of the colour-magnitude relation. Their mean V -- I colours (∼ 1.09) are similar to those of globular clusters associated with NOC 1399. The location of the UCDs on both surface brightness and colour-magnitude plots supports the galaxy threshing model for infalling nucleated dwarf elliptical (dE, N) galaxies.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 131 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2012 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - Data from four recent reanalysis projects [ECMWF, NCEP–NCAR, NCEP–Department of Energy (DOE), NASA] have been diagnosed at the scale of synoptic weather systems using an objective feature tracking method. The tracking statistics indicate that, overall, the reanalyses correspond very well in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) lower troposphere, although differences for the spatial distribution of mean intensities show that the ECMWF reanalysis is systematically stronger in the main storm track regions but weaker around major orographic features. A direct comparison of the track ensembles indicates a number of systems with a broad range of intensities that compare well among the reanalyses. In addition, a number of small-scale weak systems are found that have no correspondence among the reanalyses or that only correspond upon relaxing the matching criteria, indicating possible differences in location and/or temporal coherence. These are distributed throughout the storm tracks, particularly in the regions known for small-scale activity, such as secondary development regions and the Mediterranean. For the Southern Hemisphere (SH), agreement is found to be generally less consistent in the lower troposphere with significant differences in both track density and mean intensity. The systems that correspond between the various reanalyses are considerably reduced and those that do not match span a broad range of storm intensities. Relaxing the matching criteria indicates that there is a larger degree of uncertainty in both the location of systems and their intensities compared with the NH. At upper-tropospheric levels, significant differences in the level of activity occur between the ECMWF reanalysis and the other reanalyses in both the NH and SH winters. This occurs due to a lack of coherence in the apparent propagation of the systems in ERA15 and appears most acute above 500 hPa. This is probably due to the use of optimal interpolation data assimilation in ERA15. Also shown are results based on using the same techniques to diagnose the tropical easterly wave activity. Results indicate that the wave activity is sensitive not only to the resolution and assimilation methods used but also to the model formulation.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 3 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1197 SN - 15306984 AB - We present a pseudopotential calculation of the single particle and excitonic spectrum of CdSe nanocrystals. We find that in the excitonic manifold derived from the ground state electron and the first 60 hole states there are two energy gaps much larger than the typical LO phonon energy in bulk CdSe. Such gaps can effectively slow the hole relaxation process, as recently found experimentally. We show that they originate from two gaps in the hole spectrum and are therefore a single-particle effect, as opposed to an excitonic effect. The calculated width of the gaps increases with decreasing dot size, in agreement with the experimental trend of the energy loss rate that decreases with dot size. We find that the presence of the gaps is not limited to CdSe nanocrystals with the wurtzite crystal structure but is also found in spherical InAs zinc blende dots. Comparison with our results for quantum rods and cylinders of different aspect ratios, and with a single-band effective mass model, shows the origin of the gaps to be interband coupling in spherical NCs. The gaps disappear above an aspect ratio of about 3-4, thus predicting a fast hole relaxation for elongated nanostructures.

This approach has significantly stabilized two proteases (α-chymotrypsin, CT, and trypsin, TR), and the armor network around CT is sufficiently thin and porous that it does not place a large mass-transfer limitation on the substrate. These new hybrid enzyme nanostructures offer great potential as a method to stabilize enzymes for various applications.

These nanowires possess pentagonal cross-sections and pyramidal tips. They are close-packed and are aligned parallel to each other. The resulting nanowire monolayers serve as excellent substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with large electromagnetic field enhancement factors (2 × 105 for thiol and 2,4-dinitrotoluene, and 2 × 109 for Rhodamine 6G) and can readily be used in ultrasensitive, molecule-specific sensing utilizing vibrational signatures.

The morphologies of the nanowire assemblies were temperature-dependent so that within a specific temperature range nanowire assemblies with a specific morphology were formed. Although the nanowire assemblies formed in different temperature ranges have different morphologies, they all are composed of a spherical liquid-gallium ball (3 to 5 μm in diameter) and a silicon oxide nanowire bunch that grows out from the lower-hemisphere surface of the gallium ball. Branching-growth and batch-growth phenomena were observed in the samples and were believed to be responsible for the formation of the unique morphologies described here. The growth mechanism of the nanowire assemblies is discussed.

The Nyquist criterion and a root search method were employed to find the linear stability boundary of both forward and backward circulations. It was found that the natural circulations could be linearly unstable in a high Reynolds number region. Increasing loop friction makes a forward circulation more stable, but destabilizes the corresponding backward circulation under the same heating/cooling conditions. The characteristic wavelength of an unstable disturbance is roughly equal to the entire loop length.

Its distinctive feature is the simultaneous readout of the charge packets stored in the detector by means of a uniform electrostatic field leading to readout times of few microseconds. The advantage of this readout mechanism is twofold: (i) a higher frame rate/better time resolution with respect to the charge-coupled device which represents the reference X-ray spectroscopic imager and (ii) a lower contribution of the thermal noise due to a shorter integration time, leading to an excellent energy resolution also at room temperature. In this work we present the first experimental characterization of the CDD with synchrotron light in the range 8–30 keV carried out at Sincrotrone Trieste. Two-dimensional energy-resolved radiographic images carried out at a frame frequency up to 100 kHz are shown. Application of the CDD to elemental absorption contrast imaging is also presented.

It consists of cooling a semiconductor detector down to cryogenic temperature to suppress the thermally generated leakage current and to precisely measure the integrated ionization signal. It will be shown that such a device provides very good linearity and a dynamic range wider than is possible with existing techniques. Moreover, thanks to the Lazarus effect, extreme radiation hardness can be achieved providing in turn absolute intensity measurements against precise calibration of the device at low beam flux.

Linear and stationary transducer theory allows these distributions to be described in the Fourier-dual frequency space, and provides an indirect method to evaluate them through measurement of the modulation transfer function (MTF). We suggest direct measurement of MTF by employing bar pattern grids, similar to those used for calibration of radiological equipment. Assuming spatial distributions of the form exp(−(|αx|)η), we are able to relate the MTF measurements to the more popular FWHM and TF. This new approach to determine spatial resolution can become a standard for use by the micro-beam community.

A radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac is used to boost the energy of ions accelerated by a conventional Tandem Van de Graaff – Pelletron from 0.25 to 1.9 MeV/amu. The LET for heavy ions is near a maximum at this velocity and the range is ∼20 μm. Unfortunately, the energy definition of the RFQ-boosted ions is rather poor, which makes focusing such ions difficult. To circumvent this problem, we are not using a focused microbeam, but instead are employing an ion-electron emission microscope or IEEM to perform high-LET REM experiments. Details of the RFQ-Booster and the new Axial IEEM system are given. Results using IEEM-IBIC to observe single event upsets in Sandia-manufactured radiation hardened integrated circuits are also presented and interpreted.

It employs a low current, broad ion beam impinging on a sample, previously coated or simply covered with a few microns of a fast, highly efficient phosphor layer. The light produced at the single ion impact point is collected with an optical microscope and projected at high magnification onto a single photon position sensitive detector (PSD). This allows maps of the ion strike effects to be produced, effectively removing the need for a microbeam. Irradiation in air and even the use of alpha particle sources with no accelerator are possible. Potential applications include ion beam induced charge collection studies of semiconducting and insulating materials, single event upset studies on microchips and even biological cells in radiobiological effectiveness experiments. We describe the IPEM setup, including a 60× OM-40 microscope with a 1.5 mm hole for the beam transmission and a Quantar PSD with 60 μm pixel. Bicron plastic scintillator blades of 10 μm were chosen as a phosphor for their nanosecond time resolution, homogeneity, utility and commercial availability. The results given in this paper are for a prototype IPEM system. They indicate a resolution of ∼12 μm, the presence of a spatial halo and a He-ion efficiency of ∼20%. This marks the first time that nuclear microscopy has been performed with a radioactive source.

In order to investigate this unexpected increase we performed both broad beam and microbeam experiments on thermal oxide capacitors. Charge collection was measured using ion beam induced charge collection (IBICC) and time resolved IBICC under different biasing conditions. Lateral charge collection profiles were recorded across the top electrode. We found that the collected charge strongly depends on the applied bias and the oxide thickness. Lateral non-uniformity was observed for low bias conditions. In this paper we will give a qualitative explanation for the charge collection mechanism in SOI devices.

The effects of Cs on yeast growth were determined by measuring the optical density at 600 nm. Addition of 1 mM Cs did not have any effect on the growth of the yeast. Micro-PIXE analysis of cells grown in the presence of Cs showed that Cs was uniformly distributed in the cells. Using PIXE, Cs, P, K and Fe can be detected, whereas only P and S can be determined by the EDS. Cells exposed to Cs showed an increase in Cs peak intensity, and decrease in P, K and Fe with time. These results suggest that micro-PIXE is a useful technique to detect low concentration of toxic elements in microorganisms as well as to monitor their changes as function of growth.

JO - Numerical Heat Transfer: Part B -- Fundamentals JF - Numerical Heat Transfer: Part B -- Fundamentals Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 253 EP - 276 SN - 10407790 AB - ''Is the flow monocellular or multicellular?'' This question was first raised by Dantzig 13 years ago. It was about the nature of the fluid flow for the gallium melting problem in a rectangular cavity heated from the side. Following Dantzig's work, several publications have appeared on the same problem, with fewer than a handfull reporting a multicellular structure. To date, all experimental results support the monocellular structure, yet some researchers claim that the monocellular solution is incorrect. A similar controversy was reported for the problem of tin melting, suggested in 1998 as a benchmark problem. Several arguments have been suggested to explain the discrepancies, but there does not seem to be a commonly accepted answer to the problem in the scientific community. In this work, we summarize earlier works and present a grid-refinement study for several discretization schemes with emphasis on tin melting and some results for gallium melting. Simulations are carried out with the enthalpy method. The flow cell structure is analyzed in detail, while some results are provided for the heat transfer and the melting rate. Our results show that the multicellular structure is the correct numerical solution and that the flow structure has a strong influence on other features of the solution. We also provide a detailed discussion of earlier results in order to clarify important issues and bring a final answer to the controversy.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 137 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 114 EP - 122 SN - 00298549 AB - Predicted increases in atmospheric CO2 and global mean temperature may alter important plant-insect associations due to the direct effects of temperature on insect development and the indirect effects of elevated temperature and CO2 enrichment on phytochemicals important for insect success. We investigated the effects of CO2 and temperature on the interaction between gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) larvae and red maple (Acer rubrum L.) saplings by bagging first instar larvae within open-top chambers at four CO2/temperature treatments: (1) ambient temperature, ambient CO2, (2) ambient temperature, elevated CO2 (+300 μl l-1 CO2), (3) elevated temperature (+3.5°C), ambient CO2, and (4) elevated temperature, elevated CO2. Larvae were reared to pupation and leaf samples taken biweekly to determine levels of total N, water, non-structural carbohydrates, and an estimate of defensive phenolic compounds in three age classes of foliage: (1) immature, (2) mid-mature and (3) mature. Elevated growth temperature marginally reduced (P <0.1) leaf N and significantly reduced (P <0.05) leaf water across CO2 treatments in mature leaves, whereas leaves grown at elevated CO2 concentration had a significant decrease in leaf N and a significant increase in the ratio of starch:N and total non-structural carbohydrates:N. Leaf N and water decreased and starch:N and total non-structural carbohydrates:N ratios increased as leaves aged. Phenolics were unaffected by CO2 or temperature treatment. There were no interactive effects of CO2 and temperature on any phytochemical measure. Gypsy moth larvae reached pupation earlier at the elevated temperature (female =8 days, P <0.07; male =7.5 days, P <0.03), whereas mortality and pupal fresh weight of insects were unrelated to either CO2, temperature or their interaction. Our data show that CO2 or temperature-induced alterations in leaf constituents had no effect on insect performance; instead, the long-term exposure to a 3.5°C increase in temperature shortened insect development but had no effect on pupal weight. It appears that in some tree-herbivorous insect systems the direct effects of an increased global mean temperature may have greater consequences for altering plant-insect interactions than the indirect effects of an increased temperature or CO2 concentration on leaf constituents.

Unlike some previously considered cases, our model includes a complex coefficient of the NNN interaction, which applies, e.g., to optical waveguide arrays, where fields in adjacent cores may be phase shifted. The application to optical arrays is especially important in the case in which the effective lattice diffraction coefficient generated by the NN coupling is close to zero, which may be achieved by means of the so-called diffraction management. Three types of fundamental solitons are considered: site-centered and intersite-centered ones, and twisted localized modes (TLMs). It is found that, with the increase of the imaginary part of the NNN coupling constant, site-centered solitons lose their stability, but then regain it. The instability region disappears if the real part of the NNN coupling constant is negative and sufficiently large. If the site-centered soliton is unstable, it rearranges itself into a quasi-periodic (in time) breathing soliton. Intersite-centered solitons cannot be fully stabilized by the NNN interactions. TLM solitons are stable in a limited parametric region, then they become unstable, and eventually disappear. Direct simulations of the evolution of the intersite-centered solitons and unstable TLMs show that the instability reshapes them into site-centered solitons with intrinsic vibrations (breathers).

The required temperatures needed to produce transitions from Regime1 to Regime2 or Regime3 decreased with increasing degree of disulfonation. These temperatures correspond to the percolation and hydrogel temperatures, respectively. Poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer membranes with a 40% disulfonation in Regime2 under fully hydrated conditions showed similar proton conductivity (∼0.1 S/cm) to the well-known perfluorinated copolymer Nafion® 1135 but exhibited higher modulus and water uptake. The proton conductivity and storage modulus are discussed in terms of each of the morphological regimes and compared with Nafion 1135. The results are of particular interest for either hydrogen or direct methanol fuel cells where conductivity and membrane permeability are critical issues.

In the area of coatings, new approaches utilizing nanoscale effects can be used to create coatings with significantly optimized or enhanced properties. The ultimate impact of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the area of coatings, and other potential application areas, will depend on our ability to direct the assembly of hierarchical systems that include nanostructures. Two fundamentally different approaches to direct self-assembly are discussed. One approach involves ordering existing identifiable components into the desired coating or structures. The second approach involves the formation of new structures during the coating process. Potential impacts of nanostructure properties on film characteristics and applications are discussed with a focus on coating reactivity, corrosion resistance, strength and durability.

The films are prepared by dip-coating from a solution containing the monomers and silica precursors, thus leading to composite lamellar mesostructured materials through evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). A polymerizable coupling agent is added to covalently link the polymers to the silica matrix. The final polymer/SiO2 hybrid material is obtained by a separate free-radical polymerization step, initiated by UV exposure or thermal treatment. Using trimethoxy(7-octen-1-yl)silane as a coupling agent, a procedure was established that preserved the mesostructure and maintained the swelling properties of the polymers, while acrylate-based coupling agents lead to a significant distortion of the film mesostructure. Structure and composition of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction, NMR and IR.

T1 - The self-assembled nanophase particle (SNAP) process: a nanoscience approach to coatings JO - Progress in Organic Coatings JF - Progress in Organic Coatings Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 47 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 401 SN - 03009440 AB - In the corrosion protection of aluminum-skinned aircraft, surface pretreatment and cleaning are critical steps in protecting aerospace alloys from corrosion. Our recent discovery of a revolutionary new method of forming functionalized silica nanoparticles in situ in an aqueous-based sol–gel process, and then crosslinking the nanoparticles to form a thin film, is an excellent example of a nanoscience approach to coatings. This coating method is called the self-assembled nanophase particle (SNAP) process.The SNAP coating process consists of three stages: (1) sol–gel processing; (2) SNAP solution mixing; (3) SNAP coating application and cure. Here, we report on key parameters in the ‘sol–gel processing’ and the ‘coating application and cure’ stages in the GPTMS/TMOS system. The SNAP process is discussed from the formation of the nanosized macromolecules to the coating application and curing process.The ‘sol–gel processing’ stage involves hydrolysis and condensation reactions and is controlled by the solution pH and water content. Here, the molar ratio of water to hydrolysable silane is a key factor. SNAP solutions have been investigated by NMR, IR, light scattering, and GPC to identify molecular condensation structures formed as a function of aging time in the solution. In moderate pH and high water content solutions, hydrolysis occurs rapidly and condensation kinetic conditions are optimized to generate nanophase siloxane macromolecules.In the ‘SNAP solution mixing’ stage, crosslinking agents and additives are added to the solution, which is then applied to a substrate by dip-coating to form the SNAP coating. The chemical structure and morphology of the films have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). SNAP films are amorphous but exhibit nanostructured assembly of siloxane oligomers at a separation of about 1.8 nm as well as molecular level ordering of O–Si–O species. The surface analytical data indicate that the films retain the basic chemical arrangement of the siloxane macromolecules/oligomers and crosslinking process creates a network of siloxane oligomers tethered together. Results of these analyses are then used to construct a model of the SNAP coating. Results of these analyses are discussed in detail.

JO - Progress in Photovoltaics JF - Progress in Photovoltaics Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 11 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 359 EP - 375 SN - 10627995 AB - We use an empirical technique for modeling the efficiency of thin-film tandem solar cells and calculate an approximate upper limit on the range of performance of these hypothetical devices. This is shown to be approximately 28.2%, without losses due to inactive layers at the front of the device, or other parasitic sources. Reduction of the value of the reverse saturation current density by a factor of ten, increases the lossless efficiency by approximately 4% absolute. This change also greatly broadens the range of top and bottom cell bandgaps that would lead to efficiencies greater than 25%, the project goal. These observations emphasize the critical importance of focusing future research on gaining a thorough understanding of recombination losses. We then calculate daily energy density outputs for various direct spectra, computed from meteorological data, and show that the optimum bandgap pairs are relatively insensitive to the detail of the spectral irradiance. We also show that the use of daily energy density output may be a more useful criterion than efficiency in designing tandem thin-film solar cells. We compute contours of equal daily energy density output and show that the range of potentially suitable bandgap pairs is much larger than simple maximization of efficiency implies. The simple parametric approach enables us to investigate the effect of partial loss of photons with energies less than that of the bandgap of the top cell, but greater than that of the bottom cell. These photons are essential to the project goal of 25% efficiency, which emphasizes the need to evaluate the optical properties in this wavelength range very carefully. We also discuss the reduction of the thickness, or the area, of the top cell. When the top subcell generates a greater current than the bottom subcell, either of these parameters may be reduced to enable current-matching, and increased efficiencies, to be achieved. Again, this approach greatly extends the range of bandgaps that could lead to a 25% tandem thin-film cell. Next, we consider the case of concentrated sunlight and show that the optimum bandgap pairs decrease with concentration ratio. This is due to the atmospheric absorption bands. The efficiency increases by approximately 4% absolute per decade increase in concentration ratio. Finally, we comment on some of the practical difficulties that can already be anticipated in constructing these devices. Published in 2003 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The current study shows that this corrosion is associated with a delamination of the tin oxide layer from the glass, which is caused by sodium accumulation near the interface between the tin oxide and the glass and by the ingression of moisture into the PV module from the edges. This corrosion in thin-film PV modules can be significantly reduced by altering the growth conditions of the tin oxide or by using zinc oxide as a transparent conductive oxide electrode.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 74 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 4058 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - A method for continuous compositional-spread (CCS) thin-film fabrication based on pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is introduced. This approach is based on a translation of the substrate heater and the synchronized firing of the excimer laser, with the deposition occurring through a slit-shaped aperture. Alloying is achieved during film growth (possible at elevated temperature) by the repeated sequential deposition of submonolayer amounts. Our approach overcomes serious shortcomings in previous in situ implementation of CCS based on sputtering or PLD, in particular the variation of thickness across the compositional spread and the differing deposition energetics as a function of position. While moving-shutter techniques are appropriate for PLD approaches yielding complete spreads on small substrates (i.e., small as compared to distances over which the deposition parameters in PLD vary, typically ≈1 cm), our method can be used to fabricate samples that are large enough for individual compositions to be analyzed by conventional techniques, including temperature-dependent measurements of resistivity and dielectric and magnetic properties (i.e., superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry). Initial results are shown for spreads of (Sr[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x])RuO[sub 3]. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 74 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 4096 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - We have developed an octopole-quadrupole photoionization apparatus at the Advanced Light Source for absolute integral cross-section measurements of rovibrational-state-selected ion-molecule reactions. This apparatus consists of a high-resolution photoionization ion source, a wired ion gate lens, a dual radio-frequency (rf) octopole ion guide reaction gas cell, and a quadrupole mass spectrometer for reactant and product ion detection. The unique feature of this apparatus is the implementation of the high-resolution pulsed field ionization-photoelectron (PFI-PE)-photoion coincidence (PFI-PEPICO) technique, which has allowed the rotational-state selection of diatomic ions for ion-molecule reaction studies. The novel application of the wired ion gate lens for the rejection of false coincidence background ions is described. This application, along with the differential-ion-gate scheme, has made possible the measurements of rovibrational-state-selected absolute integral reaction cross sections for ion-molecule collisions using the PFI-PE-secondary ion coincidence (PFI-PESICO) method. The successful measurement of absolute state-selected cross sections for H[sub 2][sup +](X,v[sup +],N[sup +])+Ar(Ne) with v[sup +] up to 17 [the third to the last vibrational state of H[sub 2][sup +](X)] demonstrates the high sensitivity of this differential-ion-gate PFI-PESICO method. In order to gain a detailed understanding and to obtain optimal performance of the wired ion gate lens for PFI-PESICO measurements, we have carried out ion trajectory calculations of reactant ions between the photoionization region and the rf-octopole ion guide. On the basis of these calculations, possible future improvements for the application of this differential-ion-gate PFI-PESICO scheme are discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

There has been a gradual increase in species richness and cover, but only 61% of the species present on the mountain before the eruption have established on the debris avalanche deposit. Plant cover averages 38% and is extremely patchy. Life form composition changed over successional time, because part of the avalanche deposit was invaded by introduced plant species aerially seeded to reduce erosion, the site offers the opportunity to compare successional processes occurring with and without introduced species. Long-term recovery trends and effects of nonnative species on succession are important to understand since plant reestablishment practices often rely on nonnative species for enhancing vegetation recovery of denuded sites along road sides, strip mines, or other human-generated clearing. Fifteen years after the eruption and 10 years since the invasion by introduced species, plots invaded by nonnative species had greater vegetation cover and more native plant richness than plots that were not inundated. Significantly greater mortality of conifers occurred in the plots dominated by introduced species shortly after the invasion of those species, but no difference in conifer mortality occurred in the last 5 years. Even so, the plots dominated by introduced species still have fewer conifer trees. Thus, the short-term pulse of conifer mortality after the invasion of introduced species may have long-term effects on the recovery of the dominant vegetation. It will likely be decades before there is 100% plant cover on the debris avalanche deposit and a century or more before full recovery of the vegetation system.

Here u = g * m denotes U(x) = ∫&ifin;-∞g(x-y)m(y) dy. This convolution (or filtering) relates velocity u to momentum density m by integration against the kernel g(x). we shall choose g(x) to be an even function so that u and m have the dame parity under spatial reflection. When v=0, this equations is both reversible in time and parity invariant. We shall study the effects of the balance parameter and the kernel g(x) on the solitary wave structures and investigate their interactions analytically for v=0 and numerically for small or zero viscosity. This family of equations admits the classic Burgers "ramps and cliffs" solutions, which are stable for -1 1, the Burgers ramps and cliffs are again unsuitable. The stable solitary travelling wave for b > 1 and v = o is the "pulson" u(x,t) = cg(x - ct), which restricts to the "peakon" in the special case g)x) = e-lxl/α when m = u - α²uxx. Nonlinear interactions among these pulsons or peakons are governed by the superposition of solutions for b > 1 and v = 0, ... These pulson solutions obey a finite-dimensional dynamical system for the time-dependent speeds pi(t) and positions qi(t). we study the pulson and peakon interactions analytically, and we determine their fate numerically under adding viscosity. Finally, as outlook, we propose an n-dimensional vector version of this evolutionary equation with convection and stretching, namely ... for a defining relation, u = G * m. These solutions show quasi-one-dimensional behavior for n,k = 2,1 that we find numerically to be stable for b = 2. The corresponding superposed solutions of the vector b-equation in n dimensions exists, with coordinates X &lsin; Rn, s &lsin; Rk, n - k > 0, and 2N parameters Pi(s,t), Qi(s,t) &lsin; Rn, ...

The Laplacian operator is approximated by the L2 pseudo-Laplacian arising in the PN/PN-2 spectral element formulation of the incompressible Stokes problem. The overlapping Schwarz preconditioner of Fischer, Miller, and Tufo [An overlapping Schwarz method for spectral element simulation of three-dimensional incompressible flows, in Parallel Solution of Partial Differential Equations, IMA Vol. Math.

To obtain a separable operator for the linear finite element tensor-product approximation within each spectral element, extrema of the inverse metric tensor and its determinant are employed. Convergence rates and parallel CPU timings are compared against a block-Jacobi preconditioner.

The preconditioner is based on the norm equivalence between the FOSLS functional and a V norm. Its realization is an inexact inversion of the system of partial differential equations corresponding to this V norm. This preconditioner is essentially a moment-parity multigrid solver. It involves a 2 × 2 block diagonal system with each block describing only the interior like-parity coupling (even-even or odd-odd) of the spherical harmonic coefficients or moments. The interior cross-parity coupling is handled in the outer conjugate gradient iteration. Since the like-parity coupling consists of only second- and zeroth-order differential terms, whereas the full Pn system consists also of cross-parity, first-order coupling terms, the construction of a robust multigrid algorithm for each diagonal block is easier than the construction for the full Pn system. Numerical results indicate that this preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm is more robust than a stand-alone multigrid solver for the full Pn system.

The main focus in the Reitzinger/Schöberl method is to maintain null space properties of the weak δ×δ× operator on coarse grids. While these null space properties are critical, they are not enough to guarantee h-independent convergence of the overall multigrid method. We illustrate how the Reitzinger/Schöberl AMG method loses h-independence due to the somewhat limited approximation property of the grid transfer operators. We present two improvements to these operators that not only maintain the important null space properties on coarse grids but also yield significantly improved multigrid convergence rates. The first improvement is based on smoothing the Reitzinger/Schöberl grid transfer operators. The second improvement is obtained by using higher order nodal interpolation to derive the corresponding AMG interpolation operators. While not completely h-independent, the resulting AMG/CG method demonstrates improved convergence behavior while maintaining low operator complexity.

At step k of the elimination, the kth row of U and the kth column of L are computed using previously computed rows of U and columns of L. The data structure and implementation borrow from already known techniques used in developing both sparse direct solution codes and incomplete Cholesky factorizations. This version of ILU can be computed much faster than standard threshold-based ILU factorizations computed rowwise or columnwise. In addition, the data structure allows efficient implementations of more rigorous and effective dropping strategies.

T1 - Extending the Applicability of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for Total Soil Carbon Measurement. JO - Soil Science Society of America Journal JF - Soil Science Society of America Journal Y1 - 2003/09//Sep/Oct2003 VL - 67 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1616 EP - 1619 SN - 03615995 AB - Soils are the major pool of terrestrial C globally. Estimating inventories and detecting changes in the soil C pool have remained elusive, largely because the spatial distribution of soil C varies considerably. New approaches are needed that enable more rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive measurements of soil C and that reduce uncertainty in estimates of C pools and changes in those pools. In this note we extend the application of a new method of total soil C measurement: laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Carbon analysis using LIBS provides data in seconds from soils with little preparation, whereas conventional methods such as dry combustion require lengthy sample preparation and longer analysis times. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy instruments, unlike conventional instruments, can be used while in the field. This promising new method, however, has potential drawbacks, namely interference with Fe at approximately 248 nm. Here we report results of using a different C line at 193 nm to solve the interference problem. We also use a two-element standardization factor to demonstrate that the 193-nm line is nearly as sensitive to C concentration as the C line at 247.8 nm, and that calibration curves can be readily replicated. Overall these results indicate that LIBS is a very promising method to estimate soil C pools and dynamics.

Global neutron maps of Mars in various spectral ranges allow the content of water ice and adsorbed and bound water in a near-surface layer of the planet 1 to 2 m in thickness to be estimated. Huge regions of permafrost with a high (several tens of percent by weight) content of water ice are shown to be present in the north and the south of Mars. The continuous observations of Mars for 12 months, from February 18, 2002, through February 8, 2003, are indicative of significant seasonal variations on Mars where the transition from northern winter to northern summer occurred.

SN - 00380946 AB - We analyze the flux of epithermal neutrons from the Martian surface recorded by the Russian High-Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) from February 19 through December 19, 2002. The HEND was installed onboard the NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft and is designed to measure neutron fluxes with energies above 1 eV. Over the period of observations, statistically significant variations in the flux of epithermal (10–100 keV) neutrons were found in the northern and southern polar caps. The largest neutron-flux variations were found at subpolar latitudes, where the relative difference between the summer and winter values can reach severalfold. This correlation becomes weaker with increasing distance from the poles. Thus, the relative change in the neutron flux near the 60° parallel is slightly more than 10%. We assume that the detected variations result from the global circulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in subpolar Martian regions. To additionally test this assumption, we compared the HEND neutron measurements onboard 2001 Mars Odyssey and the seasonal variations in the CO2-layer thickness as observed by the Mars Orbital Laser Altimeter (MOLA) onboard Mars Global Surveyor (MGS).

Most studies of conductance structure below 2e2/h use short one-dimensional wires where transport is known to be ballistic. We report transport measurements for both short (0.5 μm) and long (5 μm) quantum wires, and use both conductance and nonlinear transport to explore the behavior of one-dimensional wires.

We use an oscillating cantilever-driven adiabatic reversal technique. The frequency shift of the cantilever vibrations is estimated. We show that the frequency shift causes the formation of a Schrödinger cat state for the cantilever. The interaction between the cantilever and the environment quickly destroys the coherence between the two cantilever trajectories. It is shown that using partial adiabatic reversals one can obtain a significant increase in the frequency shift. We discuss the possibility of sub-magneton spin density detection in molecules using magnetic resonance force microscopy.

Before exposure to CCl4, STM images indicate that approximately 85% of the reduced surface exhibits a Fe3O4(1 1 1) 2 × 2 termination, while the remaining 15% is terminated by 1 × 1 and superstructure phases. Images obtained after room temperature dosing with CCl4 and subsequent flashing to 600 K reveal that chlorine atoms are adsorbed only on surface regions with the Fe3O4(1 1 1) 2 × 2 termination, not on 1 × 1 and superstructure regions. Chlorine atoms from dissociative adsorption of CCl4 are observed to occupy two distinct positions located atop lattice protrusions and in threefold oxygen vacancy sites. However, in companion chemical labeling experiments, chlorine atoms provided by room temperature, dissociative Cl2 adsorption on this surface are found to occupy sites atop lattice protrusions exclusively. The clear dissimilarity in STM feature shape and brightness at the two distinct chlorine adsorption sites arising from CCl4 dissociation as well as the results of the Cl2 chemical labeling experiments are best explained via reactions on a Fe3O4(1 1 1) 2 × 2 selvedge terminated by a 1/4 monolayer of tetrahedrally coordinated iron atoms. On this surface, adsorption atop an iron atom occurs for both the CCl4 and Cl2 dissociative reactions. A second adsorption site, assigned as binding to second layer iron atoms left exposed following surface oxygen atom abstraction resulting in the formation of phosgene (COCl2), only appears in the case of reaction with CCl4. The reaction mechanism and active site requirements for CCl4 degradation on iron oxide surfaces are discussed in light of this evidence and in the context of our previously reported results from Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), LEED, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies.

The substrate is the pseudo-10-fold surface of the ξ′-Al77.5Pd19Mn3.5 crystal, an approximant of the AlPdMn quasicrystalline phase. Spectroscopic data are consistent with a low density of electronic states around the Fermi level for the clean surface, in agreement with the poorly conducting nature of this intermetallic alloy. Deposited Pd atoms readily form small metal particles with relatively homogeneous size on the substrate, for coverages ranging from the submonolayer regime up to 7 ML. The Pd particles do not coalesce with time and are relatively stable upon annealing up to 920 K. Their average size increases slightly with film thickness. The local electronic structure of the Pd thin film has been studied by STS and appears to be particle-size dependent, with a transition from non-metal to metal, deduced from I(V) characteristics with increasing particle size. A shift of the Pd-3d core level is also measured by photoemission, and it can be correlated with a shift of the Pd-d band toward the Fermi level. The growth mode of the Pd film on the ξ′ approximant surface and its electronic structure are discussed in relation to Pd thin films grown on metal-oxides that are used as model catalysts.

The climate simulations are performed with a regional climate model, which is shown to capture the spatial distribution and seasonal pattern of temperature and precipitation. Aerosol concentrations are obtained from a global tracer-transport model and are provided to the regional model for the calculation of radiative forcing. Different aerosols are included: sulfate, organic carbon, black carbon, mineral dust, and sea salt and MSA particles. Generally, the aerosol optical depth is well simulated in both magnitude and spatial distribution. The direct radiative forcing of the aerosol is in the range –1 to –14 W m[sup -2] in autumn and summer and -1 to –9 W m[sup -2] in spring and winter, with substantial spatial variability at the regional scale. A strong maximum in aerosol optical depth and negative radiative forcing is found over the Sichuan Basin. The negative radiative forcing of aerosol induces a surface cooling in the range –0.6 to –1.2 °C in autumn and winter, –0.3 to –0.6 °C in spring and 0.0 to –0.9 °C in summer throughout East China. The aerosol-induced cooling is mainly due to a decrease in daytime maximum temperature. The cooling is maximum and is statistically significant over the Sichuan Basin. The effect of aerosol on precipitation is not evident in our simulations. The temporal and spatial patterns of the temperature trends observed in the second half of the twentieth century, including different trends for daily maximum and minimum temperature, are at least qualitatively consistent with the simulated aerosol-induced cooling over the Sichuan Basin and East China. This result supports the hypothesis that the observed temperature trends during the latter decades of the twentieth century, especially the cooling trends over the Sichuan Basin and some parts of East China, are at least partly related to the cooling induced by increasing atmospheric aerosol loadings over the region.

For that purpose, a system to measure K in brain is being developed. Our specific aim is to assess the potential contribution to the K photopeak from cranial K located outside the brain. For this, a simplified spherical phantom to represent the brain, a square box to represent the cranium, and a K point source to assess the contributions due to K outside the brain were used. It is estimated that only about 1–2% of the K photopeak might be attributable to K outside the brain.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/02/ VL - 679 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 113 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - We are developing a time stationary self-consistent 2D MHD model of the solar corona and solar wind that explicitly solves the energy equation, using a semi-empirical 2D MHD model of the corona to provide an empirically determined effective heat flux qeff (i.e., the term effective means the possible presence of wave contributions). But, as our preliminary results indicate, in order to achieve high speed winds over the poles we also need to include the empirically determined effective pressure Peff as a constraint in the momentum equation, which means that momentum addition by waves above 2 RS are required to produce high speed winds. At present our calculations do not include the Peff constraint. The estimates of Peff and qeff come from the semi-empirical 2D MHD model of the solar corona by Sittler and Guhathakurta (1999a,2002) which is based on Mk-III, Skylab and Ulysses observations. For future model development we plan to use SOHO LASCO, CDS, EIT, UVCS and Ulysses data as constraints for our model calculations. The model by Sittler and Guhathakurta (1999a, 2002) is not a self-consistent calculation. The calculations presented here is the first attempt at providing a self-consistent calculation based on empirical constraints. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/02/ VL - 679 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 210 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - From September through November 2001, Ulysses was almost continuously immersed in polar coronal hole (CH) flow during its northern polar pass of the Sun. For much of this time, the flow was fast (> 700 km/s) and steady, quite similar to the steady unstructured flow observed during Ulysses’ first polar orbit near solar minimum. During the three months Ulysses transited the northern polar CH it observed 5 coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Of these, two were clearly over-expanding and two were at least partially driven by overexpansion. The phenomenon of over-expansion was frequently observed at high latitudes during Ulysses’ first orbit. The recurrence of over-expanding CMEs during the second orbit at high latitudes indicates that this is a phenomenon apparently unique to and typical of CMEs embedded in polar CH flow. Ulysses was nearly above the solar limb during this three-month interval, providing an opportunity to use LASCO/SOHO observations to study the initial velocity profiles of the CMEs observed further out by Ulysses. These initial conditions were used as inputs into a hydrodynamic code, the results of which are reported here. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/02/ VL - 679 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 417 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The interaction of turbulence and shock waves is considered self-consistently so that the back-reaction of the turbulence and its associated reaction on the turbulence is addressed. Upstream turbulence interacting with a shock wave is found to mediate the shock by 1) increasing the mean shock speed, and 2) decreasing the efficiency of turbulence amplification at the shock as the upstream turbulence energy density is increased. The implication of these results is that the energy in upstream turbulent fluctuations, while being amplified at the shock, is also being converted into mean flow energy downstream. The variance in both the shock speed and position is computed, leading to the suggestion that, in an ensemble-averaged sense, the turbulence-mediated shock will acquire a characteristic thickness given by the standard deviation of the shock position. Lax’s geometric entropy condition is used to show that as the upstream turbulent energy density increases, the shock is eventually destabilized, and may emit one or more shocks to produce a system of multiple shock waves. Finally, turbulence downstream of the shock is shown to decay in time t according to t-2/3. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The high Alfvén speed resulting from the constant field intensity and low ion density enhances wave refraction, and we examine this as a possible explanation for the fluctuation properties. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/02/ VL - 679 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 632 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Launched on 8 August 2001, the NASA Genesis mission is now collecting samples of the solar wind in various materials, and will return those samples to Earth in 2004 for analysis. A primary science goal of Genesis is the determination of the isotopic and elemental composition of the solar atmosphere from the solar wind material returned. In particular, Genesis will provide measurements of those species that are not provided by solar and in situ observations. We know from in situ measurements that the solar wind exhibits compositional variations across different types of solar wind flows. Therefore, Genesis exposes different collectors to solar wind originating from three flow types: coronal hole, coronal mass ejection (CME), and interstream flows. Flow types are identified using in situ measurements of solar wind protons, alphas, and electrons from electrostatic analyzers carried by Genesis. The flow regime selection algorithm and subsequent collector deployment on Genesis act autonomously. We present an assessment of composition variations of O, He, and Mg ions observed by ACE/SWICS concurrent with Genesis observations, and compare these to the Genesis algorithm decisions. Not only does this serve as a test of the algorithm, the compilation of composition vs. regime will be important for comparison to the abundances determined from sample analysis at the end of the mission. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/02/ VL - 679 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 715 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Between November 2000 and October 2001 the Ulysses spacecraft performed a fast traversal of the heliospheric latitudes between 80°S and 80°N, a period close to the activity maximum of the current solar cycle. This paper provides an overview of the Ulysses observations of the transient solar wind structures associated with coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) during this period. Compared to the previous Ulysses fast latitude scan near solar minimum in 1995, many more ICME related signatures were observed in the present data set. Events were encountered spread over the full latitude range between 80°S and 80°N. Those at high northern latitudes, where fast solar wind from a northern polar coronal hole had become re-established, were of the over-expanding type first identified in Ulysses data at mid-latitudes near solar minimum. The signatures of these events and their latitude dependence are discussed and some ongoing and possible future studies with this data set are described. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A wind of interstellar neutral gas penetrates to within several astronomical units (AU) of the Sun, giving us a direct sample of present-day galactic matter. ISP is a mission to this inner edge of the interstellar medium. Using highly sensitive instrumentation, ISP will determine the composition of our local interstellar environment. It will also take the first global images of the boundary region of the heliosphere at 100 to 150 AU. These measurements will allow ISP to answer fundamental questions about the origin of the solar system and the stars, about the evolution of our galaxy and of the universe, and about the characteristics of our local galactic environment and its influence on the heliosphere. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Specifically, HELICON enables the resolution of a wide array of critical questions of solar wind structure and dynamics. The HELICON’s Science Objectives are as follows: (1) Determine the structure and evolution of expanding interplanetary coronal mass ejections, (2) Use supra-thermal and energetic particles to determine the source populations of solar events and the scale sizes of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) and Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) (3) Determine the structure and nature of the heliospheric current sheet, and (4) Examine the causes of variability in the solar wind.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2003/09/03/ VL - 125 IS - 35 M3 - Article SP - 10684 EP - 10692 SN - 00027863 AB - Time-resolved X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure, and first-principles density functional calculations were used to investigate the reaction of CuO and Cu[sub 2]O with H[sub 2] in detail. The mechanism for the reduction of CuO is complex, involving an induction period and the embedding of H into the bulk of the oxide. The in-situ experiments show that, under a normal supply of hydrogen, CuO reduces directly to metallic Cu without formation of an intermediate or suboxide (i.e., no Cu[sub 4]O[sub 3] or Cu[sub 2]O). The reduction of CuO is easier than the reduction of Cu[sub 2]O. The apparent activation energy for the reduction of CuO is about 14.5 kcal/mol, while the value is 27.4 kcal/mol for Cu[sub 2]O. During the reduction of CuO, the system can reach metastable states (MS) and react with hydrogen instead of forming Cu[sub 2]O. To see the formation of Cu[sub 2]O, one has to limit the flow of hydrogen, slowing the rate of reduction to allow a MS → Cu[sub 2]O transformation. These results show the importance of kinetic effects for the formation of well-defined suboxides during a reduction process and the activation of oxide catalysts.

The calculated magnetic moment of 0.71 μB/atom of a Mn7 cluster is in perfect agreement with the experimental value of 0.72 ± 0.42 μB/atom. This low value, which is a factor of seven smaller than its free atom value, is shown to result not from the reduction of the individual atomic moments, but from their ferrimagnetic coupling. The large uncertainty in the experimental measurement is explained by the existence of nearly degenerate isomers.

Here we explore if conditioned place preference can be used to study the abuse-related effects of inhaled toluene in rats. Animals were confined to a distinctive compartment of a three-compartment chamber while exposed to toluene vapor and later tested for preference for that compartment compared to appropriate control subjects. In this study, a flame ionization detector was used for on-line monitoring of toluene vapor concentrations inside the conditioning apparatus coupled with computerized recording of the time spent by the animals on the test day in each of the chambers. Sprague–Dawley rats were exposed to 810, 1895 or 4950 ppm of toluene vapors in either the back or white compartment during 30-min pairing sessions given every other day alternating with air exposure for the total of six pairings for each treatment. Rats that received air in both sides (control group) did not show any preference for either side with approximately equal time spent in each compartment on the test day (241±33 and 234±34 s, for white and black box, respectively). However, the 1895- and 4950-ppm test groups, but not the 810-ppm group, demonstrated a significant preference for the side paired with toluene exposure. When a subsequent test session was performed during toluene exposures, no conditioned place preference was observed. Thus, toluene produced a clear conditioned place preference that appears to be most evident when animals are not intoxicated. This procedure should be useful for further studies of the abuse-related effects of abused inhalants.

It is capable of polymerizing fibronectin in vitro, and it displays anti-tumor, anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic properties in vivo. We have determined the structure of anastellin using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and identified residues critical for its activity. Anastellin exhibits dynamic fluctuations and conformational exchange in solution. Its overall topology is very similar to the corresponding region of full-length FN3 domains. However, its hydrophobic core becomes solvent-accessible and some of its β-strands lose their protection against hydrogen bonding to β-strands from other molecules. These features seem to be relevant for the fibronectin polymerization activity of anastellin and resemble the characteristics of amyloid fibril precursors. We suggest that this analogy is not random and may reflect similarities between fibronectin and amyloid fibril formation.

Hartree–Fock (HF) and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) trial functions were used in the DMC calculations. A CASSCF trial function (TF) was found to yield an 8.1 kcal/mol improvement for both properties relative to the HF TF value. The DMC calculation with the HF TF gave an atomization energy of 374.0 kcal/mol, while the DMC result with the CASSCF TF yielded 382.1 kcal/mol; the experimental atomization energy is 381 kcal/mol. The DMC heat of formation is: 234.7 kcal/mol using the HF TF and 226.7 kcal/mol using the CASSCF TF. These values lie closer to experiment than results obtained from the MP2, DFT, and CCSD(T) methods, all at the complete basis set limit.The bonding character of CO2+ and CS2+ was examined using the electron localization function (ELF) method. The HF, MP2, and B3LYP-DFT wave functions were projected onto the single–triple and double–double resonance forms of the molecules to determine the relative contribution of the two forms to the ground state geometry. The double–double resonance form was found to be the larger contributor to the ground state for both systems.

The model is fitted to data from the Ontario (Toronto) in Canada, Hong Kong in China and Singapore outbreaks and predictions are made based on various assumptions and observations, including the current effect of isolating individuals diagnosed with SARS. The epidemic dynamics for Hong Kong and Singapore appear to be different from the dynamics in Toronto, Ontario. Toronto shows a very rapid increase in the number of cases between March 31st and April 6th, followed by a significant slowing in the number of new cases. We explain this as the result of an increase in the diagnostic rate and in the effectiveness of patient isolation after March 26th. Our best estimates are consistent with SARS eventually being contained in Toronto, although the time of containment is sensitive to the parameters in our model. It is shown that despite the empirically modeled heterogeneity in transmission, SARS’ average reproductive number is 1.2, a value quite similar to that computed for some strains of influenza (J. Math. Biol. 27 (1989) 233). Although it would not be surprising to see levels of SARS infection higher than 10% in some regions of the world (if unchecked), lack of data and the observed heterogeneity and sensitivity of parameters prevent us from predicting the long-term impact of SARS. The possibility that 10 or more percent of the world population at risk could eventually be infected with the virus in conjunction with a mortality rate of 3–7% or more, and indications of significant improvement in Toronto support the stringent measures that have been taken to isolate diagnosed cases.

Near-ideal ohmic contacts are formed in every case, while Schottky barrier contacts prove more elusive. These results counter most work discussed to date on thin diamond films, and are discussed in the context of the unique grain-boundary conductivity mechanism of the nitrogen-doped UNCD. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Hydrogen creates a negative-U center (i.e., H[sup 0] is never stable), with a (+/-) transition level at E[sub c]-0.39 eV in CIS, and E[sub c]-0.57 eV in CGS.

The voltammetric data demonstrate that the diimine ligand LUMO is stabilized and the metal f orbital is destabilized by ∼1.0 V each upon complexation for both bpy and phen adducts. The separation between the ligand-based oxidation wave (L[sup 0/-]) and the metal-based reduction wave (Yb[sup 3+/2+]) in the ytterbocene adducts is 0.79 V for both bpy and phen complexes. The UV--vis-near-IR absorption spectroscopic data for both the neutral adducts and the one-electron-oxidized complexes are consistent with those reported recently, but previously unreported bands in the near-IR have been recorded and assigned to ligand (π[sup *])-to-metal (f orbital) charge-transfer (LMCT) transitions. These optical electronic excited states are the converse of the ground-state charge-transfer process (e.g., f[sup 13]-L[sup •-] ↔ f[sup 14]-L[sup 0]). These new bands occur at ∼5000 cm[sup -1] in both adducts, consistent with predictions from electrochemical data, and the spacings of the resolved vibronic bands in these transitions are consistent with the removal of an electron from the ligand π[sup *] orbital. The unusually large intensity observed in the f → f intraconfiguration transitions for the neutral phenanthroline adduct is discussed in terms of an intensity-borrowing mechanism involving the Iow-energy LMCT states. Raman vibrational data clearly reveal resonance enhancement for excitation into the Iow-lying π[sup *] → π[sup *] ligand-localized excited states, and comparison of the vibrational energies with those reported for alkali-metal-reduced diimine ligands confirms that the ligands in the adducts are reduced radical anions. Differences in the resonance enhancement pattern for the modes in the bipyridine adduct with excitation into different π[sup *] → π[sup *] levels illustrate the different nodal structures that exist in the various Iow-lying π[sup *] orbitals.

Both compounds consist of two-dimensional arrangements of pentagonal bipyramidal [NpO[sub 7]] polyhedra with axial neptunyl, NpO[sub 2, sup 2+], dioxocations. In 1, the neptunium centers are bound in the equatorial plane by four bridging iodate anions and one terminal water molecule. The iodate anions link the [NpO[sub 7]] units into corrugated sheets that interact with one another through intermolecular IO[sub 3, sup -]···IO[sub 3, sup -]interactions as also observed in UO[sub 2](IO[sub 3])[sub 2](H[sub 2]0). Compound 2 is isostructural with the recently reported PuO[sub 2](lO[sub 3])[sub 2]·H[sub 2]O, where oxygen atoms from bridging iodate anions occupy the five equatorial sites around the neptunyl moieties. The iodate anions occur as both µ[sub 2]- and µ[sub 3]-units and link the neptunyl polyhedra into sheets. Both types of iodate anions have their stereochemically active lone-pair of electrons aligned on one side of each layer creating a polar structure. Raman spectra of 1, UO[sub 2](IO[sub 3])[sub 2](H[sub 2]O), and PuO[sub 2](IO[sub 3])[sub 2]·H[sub 2]O show a sequential shift of the v[sub 1](AnO[sub 2, sup 2+]) stretch to lower wavenumber as the atomic number of the actinide is increased.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09/08/ VL - 42 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 5735 EP - 5742 SN - 00201669 AB - An oxorhenium(V) dimer, {MeReO(mtp)}[sub 2], D, where mtpH[sub 2] is 2-(mercaptomethyl)thiophenol, catalyzes oxygen atom transfer reaction from methyl phenyl sulfoxide to triarylphosphines. Kinetic studies in benzene-d[sub 6] at 23 °C indicate that the reaction takes place through the formation of an adduct between D and sulfoxide. The equilibrium constants, K[sub DL], for adduct formation were determined by spectrophotometric titration, and the values of K[sub DL] for MeS(O)C[sub 6]H[sub 4]-4-R were obtained as 14.1(2), 5.7(1), and 2.1(1) for R = Me, H, and Br, respectively. Following sulfoxide binding, oxygen atom transfer occurs with either internal or external nucleophilic assistance. Because {MeReO(mtp)}[sub 2] is a much more reactive catalyst than its monomerized form, MeReO(mtp)PPh[sub 3], loss of the active catalyst during the time course of the reaction must be taken into account as a part of the kinetic analysis. As it happens, sulfoxide catalyzes monomerization. Monomerization by triarylphosphines was also studied in the presence of sulfoxide, and a mechanism for that reaction was also proposed. Both the phosphine-assisted monomerization and the phosphine-assisted pathway for oxygen atom transfer involve transition states with ternary components, D, sulfoxide, and phosphine, which we suggest are structural isomers of one another.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2003/09/08/ VL - 119 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 5078 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The photodissociation of allyl-d[sub 2] iodide (H[sub 2]C=CDCH[sub 2]I) and the dynamics of the nascent allyl-d[sub 2] radical (H[sub 2]CCDCH[sub 2]) were studied using photofragment translational spectroscopy. A previous study found the allyl radical stable at internal energies up to 15 kcal/mol higher than the 60 kcal/mol barrier to allene+H formation as the result of a centrifugal barrier. The deuterated allyl radical should then also show a stability to secondary dissociation at internal energies well above the barrier due to centrifugal effects. A comparison in this paper shows the allyl-d[sub 2] radical is stable to allene+D formation at energies of 2–3 kcal/mol higher than that of the nondeuterated allyl radical following photolysis of allyl iodide at 193 nm. This is most likely a result of a combination of the slight raising of the barrier from the difference in zero-point levels and a reduction of the impact parameter of the dissociative fragments due to the decrease in frequency of the C–D bending modes, and therefore allene+D product orbital angular momentum, |Lvector |=μ|vvector [sub rel]|b. The integrated signal taken at m/e=40 (allene) and m/e=41 (allene-d[sub 1] and propyne-d[sub 3]) shows a minor fraction of the allyl-d[sub 2] radicals isomerize to the 2-propenyl radical, in qualitative support of earlier conclusions of the domination of direct allene+H formation over isomerization. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/09/08/ VL - 107 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 9730 SN - 15206106 AB - The LixV2O5 cathode of Li-rechargeable battery cells under three different charge states have been studied by high-resolution solid-state 7Li magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. In the charged and discharged states, three different 7Li NMR resonances, corresponding to the Li+ ions in the electrolyte, in the V2O5 cathode, and on the surface of the V2O5 cathode, were identified by their spin-lattice relaxation times in inversion recovery experiments. Only signals of the Li+ ions in the electrolyte were observed in the over charged state. It is shown experimentally that the Li+ ions in the electrolyte experience a dynamics or exchange process in a time scale of milliseconds with those in the V2O5 cathode, in particular for the discharged state, where a severe cross relaxation effect was observed in the inversion recovery for the Li+ ions in the electrolyte. It is concluded that such an exchange is mediated by the Li+ ions on the surface of the V2O5 cathode. Therefore, the surface structure of the V2O5 cathode electrode plays an important role in the reversibility of the Li+ ions in the rechargeable battery.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/09/08/ VL - 107 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 9813 SN - 15206106 AB - The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acid and alkaline solutions is investigated on thin Pd films (0 < θPd < 1.5 ML) supported on a Pt(111) electrode. In 0.1 M KOH, the general form of the current vs ϑPd relationship for the ORR has a volcano shape, with the maximum catalytic activity exhibited by a surface modified with 1 ML of Pd. However, if the amount of Pd deposited exceeds 1 ML, the reaction is inhibited and 1.5 ML of Pd are less active than unmodified Pt(111). In 0.1 M HClO4, none of the Pd films are more active than Pt(111). In solution containing Cl- (ca. 106-10-5 M), the inhibition on the Pt(111)-Pd electrode is much more severe than on bare Pt(111) due to stronger anion adsorption on Pd. We present an interpretation of the kinetics of the ORR on Pt modified by thin Pd films in alkaline and acid solution based on the electronic properties of the Pd films and how the electronic properties effect specific anion adsorption, the formation of OHad and the adsorption of the reaction intermediates.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/09/09/ VL - 42 IS - 35 M3 - Article SP - 10372 EP - 10384 SN - 00062960 AB - Mutacin 1140 is a member of a family of ribosomally synthesized peptide bacteriocins called lantibiotics (lanthionine-containing antibiotics) and is produced by the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Mutacin 1140 has been shown to be effective against a broad array of Gram-positive bacteria. Chromatography and mass spectroscopy data suggested that mutacin 1140 forms a small compact structure. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data and restrained molecular dynamics simulations showed that mutacin 1140 interconverts between multiple structures. Calculations of scalar (J) coupling constants showed the best agreement with experimental values when the entire population-weighted ensemble of structures was used, providing independent support for the ensemble. Representative structures from each major group in the ensemble had a common feature in which they are all kinked around the hinge region forming a horseshoe-like shape, and the regions of flexibility of the molecule were limited and welldefined. The structures determined in this study provide a starting point for modeling the mutacin 1140membrane interactions and pore formation.

Experimental results obtained in the facilities of Argonne National Laboratories (ANL) when reforming isooctane using a ceria-oxide catalyst impregnated with platinum were used in order to validate the reactor model. The reaction kinetics and reaction schemes were taken from published literature and most of the chemical reactions were modeled using the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson (LHHW) formulation to account for the effect of adsorption of reactants and products on the active sites of the catalyst. The water-gas-shift (WGS) reactor used to reduce the concentration of CO in the reformate was also modeled. Both reactor models use a simplified formulation for estimating the effectiveness factor of each chemical reaction in order to account for the effect of intraparticle mass transfer limitations on the reactor performance. Since the data in the literature on kinetics of autothermal reforming of liquid hydrocarbons using CeO2-Pt catalyst is scarce, the proposed kinetic model for the reaction network was coupled to the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm implemented in Aspen Plus® in order to regress the kinetic constants for the different reactions. The model describes the trend of the experimental data in terms of hydrogen yield and distribution of products with a relative deviation of ±15% for reforming temperatures between 600 and 800 °C and reactor space velocities between 15 000 and 150 000 h−1.

The separate neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, high statistics, and improved control of other experimental systematics, allow the determination of electroweak parameters with significantly greater precision than past νN scattering experiments. Our null hypothesis test of the standard model prediction measures sin² θ[sup (on-shell), sub W] = 0.2277 ± 0.0013(stat) ± 0.0009(syst), a value which is 3.0σ above the prediction. We discuss possible explanations for and implications of this discrepancy.

Factors that affect stability are length and flexibility of the linkers and π-stacking of the stilbene moiety on the adjacent base pair. The crystal structure of the hairpin d(GT[sub 4]G)Sd2-d(CA[sub 4]C) was determined at 1.5 Å resolution. The conformations of the two molecules in the asymmetric unit differ both in the linker and the stem portions. One of them shows a planar stilbene that is stacked on the adjacent G:C base pair. The other displays considerable rotation between the phenyl rings and an unprecedented edge-to-face orientation of stilbene and base pair. The observation of considerable variations in the conformation of the Sd moiety in the crystal structure allows us to exclude restriction of motion as the reason for the absence of Sd photoisomerization in the hairpins. Conformational differences in the stem portion of the two hairpin molecules go along with different Mg[sup 2+] binding modes. Most remarkable among them is the sequence-specific coordination of a metal ion in the narrow A-tract minor groove. The crystal structure provides unequivocal evidence that a fully hydrated Mg[sup 2+] ion can penetrate the narrow A-tract minor groove, causing the groove to further contract. Overall, the structural data provide a better understanding of the origins of hairpin stability and their photochemical behavior in solution.

Up to 2 equiv of ethylene (∼200 cm³/g relative to stp) are sorbed at room temperatures and pressures as low as 300 Torr. The ethylene ligands are bound to copper (I) primarily through a σ-interaction, because the AlCl[sub 4, sup -] groups also bound to copper prevent any significant π-backbonding. The olefin binding is reversible and has been characterized by gravimetric and volumetric adsorption analysis and by time and pressure resolved synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. Comparison of the parent crystal structure to those of the adduct phases provide an atomistic picture of the sorptive reconstruction reactions. These are proposed to proceed by a classic substitution mechanism that is directed by the van der Waals channels of the parent crystalline lattice.

These experiments provide the first spectroscopic evidence of cyclohexyl (C[sub 6]H[sub 11]) as a reactive surface intermediate during the cyclohexane catalytic conversion to benzene at high pressure in the presence of excess hydrogen. In addition, it was proposed from temperature-dependent SFG experiments that dehydrogenation of cyclohexyl is a rate-limiting step in the cyclohexane catalytic conversion to benzene.

The high levels of radiation backgrounds becomes a major design criterion for such experiments. Considering the enormous cost and effort involved in building modern high-energy physics experiments, it is vital that particle fluences and energy depositions can be predicted reliably. This is done using Monte-Carlo simulation programs. Given in this paper are the results of comparisons in which the predictions of different simulation programs, all used in the evaluation of radiation backgrounds in the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, are analysed. Such comparisons give confidence when the predictions agree, and possible cause for further investigation when they disagree.

Electron diffraction confirmed that the resulting powder is a supersaturated Al-Mg solid solution with an fcc structure. Three typical nanostructures with different grain-size ranges and shapes were observed and the deformation mechanisms in these structures were found to be different. High densities of dislocations were found in large crystallites, implying that dislocation slip is the dominant deformation mechanism. The dislocations rearranged to form small-angle subboundaries upon further deformation, resulting in the formation of medium-sized crystallites with diameters of 10-30 nm. In very small crystallites with dimensions less than 10 nm, twinning becomes an important deformation mechanism. The reasons for the different deformation mechanisms were discussed. Some defects, such as twin boundaries, and small- and large-angle grain boundaries were investigated in detail.

The heat of adsorption of the molecule on the Au nanoparticles is ∼15 kcal/mol compared to 8 kcal for SO2 on Au(1 1 1). corner sites in the Au nanoparticles are responsible for this difference in reactivity. The dissociation of SO2 on Au/MgO(1 0 0) is very limited due to weak Au MgO interactions. A comparison of the behavior of SO2 on Au/MgO(1 0 0) and Au/TiO2(1 1 0) shows how important can be the effects of the oxide support for the activation of Au nanoparticles.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09/12/ VL - 278 IS - 37 M3 - Article SP - 35584 EP - 35591 SN - 00219258 AB - Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric (subunits of 70, 32, and 14 kDa) single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is required for DNA replication, recombination, and repair. The 40-residue N-terminal domain of the 32-kDa subunit of RPA (RPA32) becomes phosphorylated during S-phase and after DNA damage. Recently it has been shown that phosphorylation or the addition of negative charges to this N-terminal phosphorylation domain modulates RPA-protein interactions and increases cell sensitivity to DNA damage. We found that addition of multiple negative charges to the N.terminal phosphorylation domain also caused a significant decrease in the ability of a mutant form of RPA to destabilize double-stranded (ds) DNA Kinetic studies suggested that the addition of negative charges to the N-terminal phosphorylation domain caused defects in both complex formation (nucleation) and subsequent destabilization of dsDNA by RPA. We conclude that the N-terminal phosphorylation domain modulates RPA interactions with dsDNA. Similar changes in DNA interactions were observed with a mutant form of RPA in which the N-terminal domain of the 70-kDa subunit was deleted. This suggested a functional link between the Nterminal domains of the 70- and 32-kDa subunits of RPA. NMR experiments provided evidence for a direct interaction between the N-terminal domain of the 70-kDa subunit and the negatively charged N-terminal phosphorylation domain of RPA32. These findings suggest that phosphorylation causes a conformational change in the RPA complex that regulates RPA function.

This study identifies likely physical mechanisms driving these early compaction events in RNA folding. We have employed time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering to monitor the fastest global shape changes of the Tetrahymena ribozyme under different ionic conditions and with RNA mutations that remove long-range tertiary contacts. A partial collapse in each of the folding time-courses occurs within tens of milliseconds with either monovalent or divalent cations. Combined with comparison to predictions from structural models, this observation suggests a relaxation of the RNA to a more compact but denatured conformational ensemble in response to enhanced electrostatic screening at higher ionic concentrations. Further, the results provide evidence against counterion-correlation-mediated attraction between RNA double helices, a recently proposed model for early collapse. A previous study revealed a second 100 ms phase of collapse to a globular state. Surprisingly, we find that progression to this second early folding intermediate requires RNA sequence motifs that eventually mediate native long-range tertiary interactions, even though these regions of the RNA were observed to be solvent-accessible in previous footprinting studies under similar conditions. These results help delineate an analogy between the early conformational changes in RNA folding and the “burst phase” changes and molten globule formation in protein folding.

T1 - A 1.7 A˚ Structure of Fve, a Member of the New Fungal Immunomodulatory Protein Family JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2003/09/12/ VL - 332 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 461 SN - 00222836 AB - Fve, a major fruiting body protein from Flammulina velutipes, a mushroom possessing immunomodulatory activity, stimulates lymphocyte mitogenesis, suppresses systemic anaphylaxis reactions and edema, enhances transcription of IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α, and hemagglutinates red blood cells. It appears to be a lectin with specificity for complex cell-surface carbohydrates. Fve is a non-covalently linked homodimer containing no Cys, His or Met residues. It shares sequence similarity only to the other fungal immunomodulatory proteins (FIPs) LZ-8, Gts, Vvo and Vvl, all of unknown structure. The 1.7 A˚ structure of Fve solved by single anomalous diffraction of NaBr-soaked crystals is novel: each monomer consists of an N-terminal α-helix followed by a fibronectin III (FNIII) fold. The FNIII fold is the first instance of “pseudo-h-type” topology, a transition between the seven β-stranded s-type and the eight β-stranded h-type topologies. The structure suggests that dimerization, critical for the activity of FIPs, occurs by 3-D domain swapping of the N-terminal helices and is stabilized predominantly by hydrophobic interactions. The structure of Fve is the first in this lectin family to be reported, and the first of an FNIII domain-containing protein of fungal origin.

RR Lyrae stars are excellent tracers of old and metal-poor populations. We measured the kinematics of 43 RR Lyrae stars in the inner regions of the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) galaxy. The velocity dispersion equals 53 ± 10 kilometers per second, which indicates that a kinematically hot metal-poor old halo also exists in the LMC. This result suggests that our galaxy and smaller late-type galaxies such as the LMC have similar early formation histories.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 75 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 4724 EP - 4731 SN - 00032700 AB - Dielectrophoresis (DEP), a nonlinear electrokinetic transport mechanism, can be used to concentrate and sort cells, viruses, and particles. To date, microfabricated DEP-based devices have typically used embedded metal electrodes to apply spatially nonuniform, time-varying (AC) electric fields. We have developed an alternative method in which arrays of insulating posts in a channel of a microchip produce the spatially nonuniform fields needed for DEP. Electrodes may be located remotely, allowing operation of the device down to zero frequency (DC) without excessive problems of electrolysis. Applying a sufficiently large electric field across an insulating-post array produces two flow regimes through a competition between electrokinetic flow (combined electrophoresis and electroosmosis) and dielectrophoresis. "Streaming DEP' is observed when DEP dominates diffusion but is overcome by electrokinetic flow. Particles concentrated by DEP forces in areas of electric field extrema travel electrokinetically down the array in flowing streams. In an array of posts, dielectrophoretic forcing within repeated rows adds coherently to produce flowing streams of highly concentrated and rarefied particles. We demonstrate that this reinforcement is a strong function of alignment of the array with respect to the applied electric field and that the particle concentrations can be "enhanced" or "depleted" along columns of posts, enabling a novel class of continuous-flow, selective particle filter/concentrator devices. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of streaming dielectrophoresis. The second regime is "trapping DEP,' in which DEP forces dominate over both diffusion and electrokinetic flow, reversibly immobilizing particles on the insulating posts, enabling inexpensive and embedded batch filter/concentrator devices. Devices can be biased electrically to manipulate particles selectively by varying the field strength to Vary the relative magnitudes of electrokinetic flow and DEP. Post shapes are contoured easily to control electric field gradients and, hence, DEP behavior. Simple simulations based on similitude of fluid flow and electric field that solve the Laplace equation to obtain fluid velocity have also been developed to predict the dielectrophoretic behavior in an array of posts. These simulations are in excellent agreement with the experimental observations and provide insight into electrokinetic behavior to enable design of dielectrophoretic concentrators and sorters.

The technique relies on trigonometric relations that apply for ideal electrokinetic flows, allowing faceted channels to be designed using common drafting software and a hand calculator. Flows are rotated and stretched along the abrupt interface between adjacent regions having differing specific permeability-a quantity with dimensions of length that we introduce to derive the governing equations. Two interface systems are used to eliminate hydrodynamic rotation of bands injected into channels. Regions bounded by interfaces form faceted flow "prisms" with uniform velocity fields that can be combined with other prisms to obtain a wide range of turning angles and expansion ratios. Lengths of faceted prisms can be varied arbitrarily, simplifying chip layout and allowing the ability to reduce unwanted effects such as transverse diffusion and Joule healing for a given faceted prism. Designs are demon, strated using two-dimensional numerical solutions of the Laplace equation.

We focus on SNP mutation detection in the human p53 tumor suppressor gene, which has been found to be mutated in more than 50% of the known human cancers. DNA-nanocrystal conjugates are able to detect both SNP and single-base deletion at room ternperature within minutes, with true-to-false signal ratios above 10. We also demonstrate microarray-based multiallele detection, using hybridization of multicolor nanocrystals conjugated to two sequences specific for the hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus, two common viral pathogens that inflict more than 10% of the population in the developing countries worldwide. The simultaneous detection of multiple genetic markers with microarrays and DNA-nanocrystal conjugates has no precedent and suggests the possibility of detecting an even greater number of bacterial or viral pathogens simultaneously.

These microcantilevers undergo bending deflection upon exposure to solutions containing various CrO[SUB4][SUP2-] concentrations as a result of swelling or shrinking of the hydrogels. The microcantilever deflection as a function of the concentration of CrO[SUB4][SUP2-] ions is nearly linear in most concentration ranges. It was found that a concentration of 10-n M CrO[SUB4][SUP2-] can be detected using this technology in a fluid cell. Other ions, such as Br[SUP-], HP0[SUB4][SUP2-], and NO[SUB3][SUP-], have minimal effect on the deflection of this cantilever. The anions S0[SUB4][SUP2-] and C0[SUP3][SUB2-] could interfere with the Cr0[SUB4][SUP2-] detection, but only at high concentrations (× 10[SUP-5] M). Such hydrogel-coated microcantilevers could potentially be used to prepare microcantilever-based chemical and biological sensors when molecular recognition agents are immobilized in the hydrogel.

A phenolic resin rod with embedded 10-μm silica beads was prepared by acid-catalyzed polymerization ofa resorcinol/ iron(III) complex and formaldehyde. This rod was carbonized and graphitized under inert atmosphere with a programmed temperature cycle from room temperature to 1250 °C. Subsequently, the silica beads along with iron catalysts were removed, leaving a porous carbon rod. Imaging of this monolithic rod by scanning and transmission electron microscopies revealed a highly interconnected bimodal porous structure. The porosity and pore size dislribution of the mesopores were characterized by N[SUB2] absorption/desorption. Graphene sheets were found in the TEM images of the carbon rod, and the graphite index was characterized by Raman spectrum and X-ray diffraction. A monolithic column prepared with the aforementioned carbon rod was evaluated using a mixture of alkylbenzenes. It exhibited an excellent separation power and a low hydraulic resistance. The bundle-ofcapillaries model was used to characterize the hydrodynamics of this monolith. Its permeability was found to agree well with the theoretical one.

It consists of a 1 × 128 planar waveguide beam splitter monolithically integrated with an electrically insulated fluidic channel network for fluorescence excitation at multiple points. Stray light rejection structures are included in order to suppress unwanted light between the detection regions. The emission pattern of particles passing the detection region was collected by a photomultiplier tube that was placed in close proximity to the channel, thereby avoiding the use of transfer optics. The integrated planar waveguide beam splitter was, furthermore, permanently connected to the light source by a glued-on optical fiber, to achieve a robust and alignment-free operation of the system. The velocity was measured using a Fourier transformation with a Shah function, since the response of the light array was designed to approximate a square profile. Deviations from this response were observed as a result of the multimode nature of the integrated waveguides.

By monitoring the evolution of the Ni (111) Bragg reflection, we reveal that two distinct oxidation processes occur. Initially, a continuous NiO layer of about 50 Å thickness is formed on the surface of Ni. The planar oxide layer saturates immediately and passivates the film from further surface oxidation. From this stage, the oxidation proceeds by means of the growth of surface oxide islands. The Ni atoms diffuse out through the defect sites running vertically through the initial oxide layer to form the oxide islands. Voids are generated underneath the oxide layer in this process. The oxide in the second stage grows logarithmically in time with the activation energy of about 0.15 eV. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Catalysis Letters JF - Catalysis Letters Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 90 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 21 SN - 1011372X AB - CO2 reforming of methane was performed on Pt/ZrO2 and Pt/Ce-ZrO2 catalysts at 1073 K under different reactions conditions: (i) atmospheric pressure and CH4:CO2 ratio of 1:1 and 2:1; (ii) in the presence of water and CH4:CO2 ratio of 2:1; (iii) under pressure (105 and 190 psig) and CH4:CO2 ratio of 2:1. The Pt supported on ceria-promoted ZrO2 catalyst was more stable than the Pt/ZrO2 catalyst under all reaction conditions. We ascribe this higher stability to the higher density of oxygen vacancies on the promoted support, which favors the cleaning mechanism of the metal particle. The increase of either the CH4:CO2 ratio or total pressure causes a decrease in activity for both catalysts, because under either case the rate of methane decomposition becomes higher than the rate of oxygen transfer. The Pt/Ce-ZrO2 catalyst was always more stable than the Pt/ZrO2 catalyst, demonstrating the important role of the support on this reaction.

Participants in a design charrette brainstormed ideas about the future of US homes and workplaces. The teams started from several descriptions of daily lifestyles, and developed specific building characteristics as the place settings for these narratives. In addition to characterizing the physical environment, the teams also identified the forces that would be influential in making these changes. Further reflection was made on the possible unintended consequences of these changes. The energy implications of these changes were characterized with respect to magnitude and direction. While acknowledging the speculative nature of the exercise, the rationale was to broaden the discussion on future energy use by looking at future scenarios in the context of everyday life.

The historical involvement of these industries in the development and deployment of familiar loss-prevention technologies such as automobile air bags, fire prevention/suppression systems, and anti-theft devices, evidences a tradition of mediating and facilitating the use of technology to improve safety and otherwise reduce the likelihood of losses. Through an examination of the connection between risk management and energy technology, we have identified nearly 80 examples of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies that offer loss-prevention benefits (such as improved fire safety). This article presents the business case for insurer involvement in the sustainable energy sector and documents early case studies of insurer efforts along these lines. We have mapped these opportunities onto the appropriate market segments (life, health, property, liability, business interruption, etc.). We review steps taken by 53 forward-looking insurers and reinsurers, 5 brokers, 7 insurance organizations, and 13 non-insurance organizations. We group the approaches into the categories of: information, education, and demonstration; financial incentives; specialized policies and insurance products; direct investment; customer services and inspections; codes, standards, and policies; research and development; in-house energy management; and an emerging concept informally known as “carbon insurance”. While most companies have made only a modest effort to position themselves in the “green” marketplace, a few have comprehensive environmental programs that include energy efficiency and renewable energy activities.

SN - 14346044 AB - Since the early eighties, we have shared with van Hove the following view: If a quark-gluon plasma were produced in high energy heavy ion colliders, then its hadronization products would likely come from small bubbles of plasma localized in phase space. We develop a model based on HIJING, to which we added a ring of adjoining multiple bubbles in the central rapidity region. Our simulations were designed to be tested by the forthcoming RHIC STAR detector data for 65 GeV/n Au colliding with 65 GeV/n Au. We took into account background and resonance effects to allow a direct comparison to be made with the data. Later 100 GeV/n Au colliding with 100 GeV/n Au and LHC data could also test these ideas. We used two charged particle correlations as a sensitive method to test for bubbles.

SEM and XRD investigations showed completely crystallized fine grained perovskite structure achieved after annealing at 700°C for 5 min. Lattice tetragonal distortion ( c/a ) was found to decrease from 1.044 for pure PT to 1.036 for PET containing 8% of Er. At the same time Er doped films demonstrate (100) preferred orientation unlike randomly oriented PT films. Dielectric and ferroelectric properties of PET thin films are characterized at room temperature by impedance and hysteresis measurements. It is shown that both small signal dielectric constant and loss tangent are affected by Er doping. Based on the results obtained, amphoteric behaviour of Er in lead titanate thin films is inferred.

For two decades, SANS data have been analyzed via the de Gennes “random phase approximation” (RPA) [P.-G. de Gennes, Scaling Concepts in Polymer Physics, second ed., Cornell University Press, Ithaca, London, 1979], which is based on the assumption that the dimensions of polymer chains remain unchanged on mixing for all concentrations and temperatures. Here we investigate the effect of temperature and concentration on the dimensions of macromolecules in blends using SANS and high-concentration labeling methods and construct a generic phase diagram, which specifies the range of validity of the RPA. Using scaling arguments, we demonstrate a parallel between the structure–property relationships in blends and solutions of polymers in small molecule solvents and reveal the impact of the chain length of the polymeric solvent on the phase behavior of polymer blends. The results offer new insights into the universality of the thermodynamic properties and structure of macromolecules in polymeric, liquid and supercritical solvents.

The presence of nitric acid in Pd nitrate precursor significantly altered the porosities and crystalline structures of the ZnO support. The dissolution of ZnO and extent of mixing between the Zn2+ and Pd2+ cations during catalyst preparation may have an impact on the PdZn alloy formation and its catalytic properties. The pretreatment of Pd/ZnO, which is critical to the PdZn alloy formation, depends not only on the reduction temperature but also on the reaction conditions under which hydrogen is formed.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 119 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5659 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Synchrotron-based time-resolved x-ray diffraction (TR-XRD), x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), Raman spectroscopy (RS), and first-principles density functional (DF) calculations were used to study the structural and electronic properties of Ce–Ca mixed-metal oxides. The XRD results and DF calculations show that doping with calcium induces relatively minor variations (<0.05 Å) in the cell dimensions of ceria. However, the presence of Ca leads to slightly distorted tetragonal structures, a substantial strain in the lattice of the oxide and a tendency to form O vacancies in an ideal Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2] solid solution. The two latter effects can be a consequence of the large number of oxygen neighbors that Ca is forced to have in Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2] and differences in the electronic charges of calcium and cerium cations. The Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2-x] systems are not fully ionic. Cation charges derived from the DF calculations indicate that these systems obey the Barr model for charge redistribution in mixed-metal oxides. The Ca atoms in Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2-x] are more electropositive than the cations in CaO, while the Ce cations of Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2-x] are less electropositive than those of CeO[sub 2]. These trends are consistent with XANES measurements at the Ca K- and Ce L[sub III]-edges. The cation charge redistributions should be taken into consideration when explaining or predicting the chemical and catalytic properties of Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2-x]. Ca induces structural and electronic perturbations on ceria quite different from those found after doping with Zr. The behavior of Ce[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]O[sub 2-x] illustrates the drastic effects that doping with an electropositive element can have on the properties of ceria. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Climate JF - Journal of Climate Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 16 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 2997 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948755 AB - A 1-yr observational study of overcast boundary layer stratus at the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Southern Great Plains site illustrates that surface radiation has a higher sensitivity to cloud liquid water path variations when compared to cloud drop effective radius variations. The mean, median, and standard deviation of observed cloud liquid water path and cloud drop effective radius are 0.120, 0.101, 0.108 mm and 7.38, 7.13, 2.39 μm, respectively. Liquid water path variations can therefore cause 3 times the variation in optical depth as effective radius—a direct consequence of the comparative variability displayed by the statistics of the two parameters. Radiative transfer calculations demonstrate that, over and above the impact of higher liquid water path variability on optical depth, normalized cloud forcing is 2 times as sensitive to liquid water path variations as it is to effective radius variations. Consequently, radiative transfer calculations of surface flux using observed liquid water paths and a fixed effective radius of 7.5 μm have a 79% correlation with observed values. This higher sensitivity of solar flux to liquid water path is a result of the regimes of natural occurrence of cloud liquid water paths and cloud drop effective radii.

Similar to the earlier ETOF methods, the new ETOF technique also relies on photolithographically fabricated microelectrode devices. It uses a constant current (rather than potentiostatic) mode of generation of redox species and, unlike earlier approaches, it uses potentiometric (rather than amperometric) monitoring of the rates of their diffusion to the sensor microelectrode. The unknown D-values can be obtained by direct comparison between the experimentally obtained and digitally simulated E vs t transients. Digital simulations were based on simple hemi-cylindrical diffusion between the microband generator modeled as a hemi-cylinder and sensor microband electrode assumed to be infinitesimally small. This model approximates well the experimental results as long as the spacing between the two microband electrodes is approximately equal to or greater than twice their width. Discrepancies between theory and experiment may also arise due to the double-layer charging of the sensor ∣ solution interface, and migration effects.

Both surfaces are poor catalysts for hydrogen reactions in the as-grown state, however, their activity increases after cathodic polarization. Cathodic activation of the RuO2 (1 1 0) surface was interpreted as the formation of metallic ruthenium sites which can be reoxidized to ruthenium dioxide. This process is reversible in the early stages of activation when no significant surface corrugation is produced. Irreversible surface roughening can be produced with activation at very negative potentials. On the other hand, the activation of the RuO2 (1 0 0) surface leads, under even very mild conditions, to an irreversible increase in surface pseudocapacitance and the appearance of new voltammetric features. This behavior is attributed to irreversible morphological changes following hydrogen intercalation into the subsurface region. The more facile and drastic changes upon activation of the (1 0 0) surface can be explained by its more open structure as compared with the densely packed (1 1 0) surface.

The reaction is essentially under kinetic control at temperatures between 25 and 60 °C. It has a pronounced structural sensitivity, having higher rates on a Ru(10−10) than on a Ru(0001) surface. The reaction is strongly inhibited by Ru oxide formation at low overpotentials for hydrogen oxidation, which causes a current peak in the polarization curve and a negligible oxidation current at large overpotentials. The structural dependence appears to be predominantly determined by the properties of the oxidized surfaces of Ru(0001) and Ru(10−10). The kinetics are faster in H2SO4 than in HClO4 solution due to a slower surface oxidation in the former acid. The apparent electrochemical activation energy for the Ru(0001) surface is about 120 kJ mol−1, while 80 kJ mol−1 is observed for the Ru(10−10) surface. The exchange current densities of 0.13 and 0.16 mA cm−2 at 40 °C for Ru(0001) and Ru(10−10), respectively have been determined from the linear part of the polarization curves. The origin of the structural effects on the hydrogen oxidation kinetics on Ru surfaces has been discussed. In sharp contrast to hydrogen oxidation, the hydrogen evolution kinetics shows a very small structural dependence.

T1 - Surface segregation effects in electrocatalysis: kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction on polycrystalline Pt3Ni alloy surfaces JO - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry JF - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 554-555 M3 - Article SP - 191 SN - 15726657 AB - The effects of surface segregation on the oxygen reduction reaction (orr) have been studied on a polycrystalline Pt3Ni alloy in acid electrolyte using ultra high vacuum (UHV) surface sensitive probes and the rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) method. Preparation, modification and characterization of alloy surfaces were done in ultra high vacuum (UHV). Depending on the preparation method, two different surface compositions of the Pt3Ni alloy are produced: a sputtered surface with 75% Pt and an annealed surface (950 K) with 100% Pt. The latter surface is designated as the ‘Pt-skin’ structure, and is a consequence of surface segregation, i.e. replacement of Ni with Pt atoms in the first few atomic layers. Definitive surface compositions were established by low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEISS). The cyclic voltammetry of the ‘Pt-skin’ surface as well as the pseudcapacitance in the hydrogen adsorption/desorption potential region is similar to that of a polycrystalline Pt electrode. The activities of the orr on Pt3Ni alloy surfaces were compared to that of a polycrystalline Pt in 0.1 M HClO4 electrolyte for the observed temperature range of 293Pt3Ni (75% Pt)>Pt with the maximum catalytic enhancement obtained for the ‘Pt-skin’ being 4 times that for pure Pt. Catalytic improvement of the orr on Pt3Ni and ‘Pt-skin’ surfaces was assigned to the inhibition of Pt–OHad formation (on Pt sites) versus polycrystalline Pt. Production of H2O2 on both surfaces was similar compared to that on the pure Pt. Kinetic analyses of RRDE data confirmed that the kinetic parameters for the orr on the Pt3Ni and ‘Pt-skin’ surfaces are the same as on pure Pt: reaction order, m=1, two identical Tafel slopes, activation energy, ≈21–25 kJ mol−1. Therefore, the reaction mechanism on both Pt3Ni and ‘Pt-skin’ surfaces is the same as that proposed for pure Pt, i.e. a 4e− reduction pathway.

Two different methods are used to calculate the long-range part of the adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. The first method is a truncated-sum approach, while the second is a mean-field-enhanced truncated-sum approach. To compare the two methods, the resulting isotherms are fit to experimental adsorption isotherms, assuming both a constant electrosorption valency γ and also a coverage-dependent γ. While a constant γ fits the Br/Ag(1 0 0) well, a coverage-dependent or potential-dependent γ is needed for Cl/Ag(1 0 0).

T1 - Vibrational spectroscopy of carbon monoxide, acetonitrile, and phenylalanine adsorbed on liquid ∣ electrode interfaces by sum frequency generation JO - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry JF - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 554-555 M3 - Article SP - 253 SN - 15726657 AB - This paper reviews recent work carried out in our laboratory on the application of sum frequency generation (SFG) to investigate liquid ∣ electrode interfaces in the presence of an external potential. First, we present a study of CO oxidation on a Pt(111) electrode. Although the CO stretching frequency observed by SFG agrees with that observed using IR spectroscopy, the intensity behaves differently from that observed by IR. While the intensity of IR absorption decreases due to CO oxidation, a 360% enhancement of SFG intensity was observed in the pre-ignition potential region. This suggests that the bonding state of CO is significantly perturbed in the pre-ignition potential region. Secondly, SFG was used to study the potential induced structural change of acetonitrile adsorbed on a Pt(111) electrode. SFG spectra indicate that acetonitrile reorients in response to the electrode potential with the C&z.sbnd;C bond perpendicular to the electrode surface. The orientation is predominately with the CH3 group toward the metal at 200 mV (vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) and with the CN group toward the metal at 1200 mV. Finally, the adsorption of phenylalanine on a glassy carbon electrode was studied as a function of electrode potential. The SFG signal suggests that the phenylalanine is adsorbed on the electrode with the phenyl ring and the ammonium group nearly parallel to the surface. The dipole of the methylene group tilts toward the electrode surface when the applied potential increases.

T1 - Osmium nanoislands spontaneously deposited on a Pt(111) electrode: an XPS, STM and GIF-XAS study JO - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry JF - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 554-555 M3 - Article SP - 367 SN - 15726657 AB - Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) characterized adlayers of spontaneously deposited osmium on a Pt(111) electrode were investigated using ex-situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and in-situ grazing incidence fluorescence X-ray absorption spectroscopy (GIF-XAS). After a single spontaneous deposition, monoatomic (or nearly monoatomic) nanoislands of osmium are formed. The island diameter varies from 2 to 5 nm depending on the Os coverage, which in turn is adjusted by varying the concentration of the Os precursor salt (OsCl3) in the deposition bath and/or by the deposition time. XPS reveals three oxidation states: a metallic Os (the 4f7/2 core level binding energy of 50.8 eV), Os(IV) (51.5 eV) and Os(VIII) (52.4 eV). The metallic osmium exists at potentials below 500 mV (vs. RHE) while above 500 mV osmium is oxidized to Os(IV). Electrodissolution of osmium begins above 900 mV and occurs simultaneously with platinum oxidation. At ca. 1200 mV V versus the RHE reference, the oxidation state of some small amounts of osmium that survive dissolution is the Os(VIII). We demonstrate, for the first time, that mixed or odd valencies of osmium exist on the platinum surface at potentials higher that 800 mV. In-situ GIF-XAS measurements of an Os LIII edge also reveal the presence of three Os oxidation states. Namely, below the electrode potential of 400 mV, the X-ray fluorescent energy at maximum absorption is 10.8765 keV, and is characteristic of the metallic Os. In the potential range between 500 and 1000 mV this energy is gradually shifted to higher values, assignable to higher valencies of osmium, like Os(IV). This tendency continues to higher potentials consistent with the third, highly oxidized osmium form present, most likely Os(VIII). The variation of the “raw edge jump height” of Os with the electrode potential, which is equivalent to a drop in osmium surface concentration, demonstrates that the electrochemical stripping of Os begins below 1.0 V versus RHE, as expected from voltammetry. Also, the observed intensity of the white line of Os in the 100–400 mV region is larger than the value reported for metallic bulk Os. This discrepancy may result from the difference in the electronic properties of the metallic Os layers on Pt(111) and the metallic bulk Os: in the potential region between 100 and 400 mV, the 5d electrons in Os and Pt form a mixed electronic band, and the density of electronic states near the Fermi level, the main factor determining the white line intensity, may not be the same as in metallic bulk. The presented results on osmium adlayers are much more comprehensive than those available in our previous work due to the combined STM, GIF-XAS and XPS investigations. A nearly perfect convergence of the in situ and ex situ data is one of the main research outcomes of this project. Finally, platinum XPS spectra taken in the context of Os electrooxidation from the electrode surface are also presented and conclusions are made, that up to 900 mV platinum remain metallic, irrespective of a significant osmium oxidation on its surface.

A surface bound complex of CO with OH is identified as a crucial intermediate in the mechanism of CO oxidation. The complex under the influence of an appropriate potential and in the presence of water undergoes CO oxidation. The potential energy surface for this reaction as a function of the potential of the electrode is presented, and the barrier for the reaction is shown to vanish above a sufficiently positive applied potential. In addition, the different major barriers for the process are highlighted by comparing the mechanism on pure Pt to a Ru&z.sbnd;Pt alloy.

A precursor to the CC is a d-charge decoupling within the octahedral sites at the inverse-spinel phase. The CC transition takes place almost exactly at the Verwey transition temperature (TV=122 K) at ambient pressure. While TV decreases with pressure the CC-transition temperature increases with pressure, reaching 300 K at 10 GPa. The d electron localization mechanism proposed by Verwey and later by Mott for T is shown to be unrelated to the actual mechanism of the metal–insulator transition attributed to the Verwey transition. It is proposed that a first-order phase transition taking place at ∼TV at ambient pressure opens a small gap within the oxygen p-band, resulting in the observed insulating state at T>TV.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2003/09/15/ VL - 38 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 3831 EP - 3844 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - Zirconium titanates are widely used in electrical (common microwave dielectrics) and optical devices as well as in bifunctional catalysis and structural ceramics. In this paper, ultrafine amorphous solid microsphere precursor particles of zirconium titanate (ZrxTi1 - xO2) with possibly tailored intraparticle nanostructure (i.e., nanosized pores) were synthesized by a “dielectric-tuning” solution coprecipitation method, in which inorganic salts were dissolved in a simple water-alcohol mixture and homogeneous nucleation and growth of particles were then induced by heating at temperatures below 100°C. Near-monodispersed particles were obtained. Particle sizes (nanometers to a few micrometers in diameter) were controlled by adjusting the process parameters such as salt concentration, alcohol-to-water volume ratio, temperature, and heating time. Nanosphere particles were produced with a rapid microwave heating nucleation-control scheme. Transmission electron microscopic analysis of each individual microsphere indicates that uniform nanostructures (a few nanometers in pore size) as well as compositional homogeneity (in terms of the Zr/Ti ratio) have been obtained inside each amorphous microsphere. In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction data show that no phase segregation was observed in as-preprared microspheres and the transition from amorphous to the single-crystalline ZrTiO4 phase occurred around 650°C for a composition of Zr/Ti = 1. Interestingly, thermal analysis (DTA/TGA) data indicate that the solution synthesis condition seems to affect the crystallization activation energy and onset temperature, which varies from 530 to 680°C.

Fluorescence decay curves were acquired and lifetime distributions were calculated for each glass via a continuous model analysis program. The uranyl ion contained in the commercial borosilicate glass shows a single lifetime at approximately 370 μs, while the other glasses show multiple peaks at various lifetimes. In addition, a red shift in the emission spectrum of the uranyl ion in the frit and commercial glass indicates stronger bonding of the ion in these glasses as compared to the sol–gel glass. It is concluded that the commercial borosilicate glass provides the most homogeneous environment for the uranyl ion while phase separation in the frit is responsible for the observed multicomponent lifetime distribution.

For comparison, similar studies were done on unirradiated and X-irradiated samples. It is confirmed that pristine CaF2 exhibits excellent optical transmission in the spectral region 200–1000 nm. X and neutron irradiation induce similar optical absorption spectra with maximum absorption coefficients approximately 1.6 and 0.8 cm−1, respectively. Thermally stimulated luminescence glow curves are induced by X-ray (11.55 kGy) and neutron exposures; peaks occur at 423, 534, 596 and 479, 550, 605 K, respectively. Thermal annealing experiments show that the major absorption peaks decay in concert with appearance of the first glow peak, which is attributed to an electron trap. Thus, the major absorption bands are associated with F and F-aggregate centers. The relative ease with which these centers are produced strongly suggests that CaF2 is not a good final optic window material for fusion energy applications.

Strength and dimensional stability for this system is compared to earlier work on this material, at lower dose, and contrasted with that of a well studied isotropic graphite (POCO AXF-5Q) irradiated at identical conditions. For both irradiation temperatures the composite strength in bending is substantially increased. While both irradiation temperatures cause contraction along the bend bar axis, the amount of contraction is greater for the higher temperature irradiation. Moreover, for the 500 °C irradiation the corresponding decrease in volume is observed, though an apparent large increase in volume occurs for the 800 °C irradiated composite. This departure from isotropic dimensional change is explained in terms of fiber dimensional stability model previously presented.

Despite of this, most existing corrosion models only consider the mean values based on local conditions. The present study refines a model for flowing liquid metal under non-isothermal conditions. The model is based on solving the mass transport equation in the boundary layer. Two kinds of flows are investigated: through an open pipe system and through a closed loop system. The model is applied to a lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) test loop. A parametric study illustrates the effects of the axial temperature profile on corrosion. The study provides important insight to the design, operation and testing of such loop systems.

Radiation-induced microstructure was characterized using both bright and dark field imaging techniques in transmission electron microscopy. Platinum addition was found to promote void nucleation and to increase both the loop density and the mean loop diameter relative to the base alloy at 2.5 dpa. Addition of hafnium was effective in reducing swelling at 2.5 and 5 dpa. Hafnium addition also significantly decreased the mean loop diameter relative to the base alloy. Both platinum and hafnium additions also resulted in significant suppression of RIS at grain boundaries at 2.5 dpa. At 5 dpa, the influence of hafnium addition on RIS was still beneficial but much less pronounced. Comparative constant elongation rate tensile tests performed in a simulated boiling water reactor environment at 288 °C demonstrated a beneficial effect of hafnium addition and to a lesser extent platinum addition on the post-irradiation IGSCC behavior of 316 stainless steel alloys. The 316SS alloy doped with platinum exhibited a slightly lower susceptibility to post-irradiation IGSCC than the 316SS base alloy at both 2.5 and 5 dpa. Most spectacularly, the 316SS alloy doped with hafnium was found to be not susceptible to post-irradiation IGSCC at both 2.5 and 5 dpa. The mechanisms by which oversized solute additions impact point defect behavior as well as the links between radiation-induced changes and irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking are discussed.

The agreement between the measured values and the bulk concentrations of the alloy standards, as measured by the overall fit of the full fluorescence spectrum, was excellent. We measured the concentration of insoluble alloying elements in the matrix of Zircaloy-4 previously annealed to 705 °C for 125 h (corresponding to a cumulative annealing parameter (CAP) of 2.1 × 10−16 h, CAP=∑itiexp(−Q/RTi) where ti is the time (hours) spent at temperature Ti (K) and Q/R=40 000 K) and in the matrix of a ZrSnNbFe alloy with a composition similar to ZIRLOTM, but annealed at 710 °C for 92 h. The matrix concentrations of alloying elements were found to be, Fe=290 wt. ppm, Cr=270 wt. ppm in Zircaloy-4 and Fe=250 wt. ppm in the ZrSnNbFe alloy. These results are discussed in light of other experimental determinations of alloying element concentrations in the literature.

In particular, the understanding of the dynamics of irradiation-induced recrystallization and subsequent gas-bubble swelling requires a quantitative assessment of the nucleation and growth of grain-boundary bubbles. Calculations of bubble growth on the grain boundaries of irradiated nuclear fuels at relatively low temperatures have, in general, been performed under the assumption that these bubbles are not appreciably affected by irradiation-induced gas-atom re-solution. In contrast, matrix bubbles are strongly affected by this bubble shrinkage mechanism and as a consequence are generally two to three orders or more of magnitude smaller than the grain-boundary bubbles. A variational method is used to calculate diffusion from a spherical fuel grain. The junction position of two trial functions is set equal to the bubble gas-atom knock out distance. The effect of grain size, gas-atom re-solution rate and diffusivity, gas-atom knock out distance, and grain-boundary bubble density on the growth of intergranular bubbles is studied, and the conditions under which intergranular bubble growth occurs are elucidated.

The new series, which converges absolutely, independent of the strength of the scattering interaction, results from a renormalization transformation of the Lippmann-Schwinger Fredholm integral equation to a Volterra form. A new feature of the formulation is that it does not require the determination of phase shifts and it can be applied even to integral cross-section measurements. The approach is illustrated by application to a simple example problem.

In particular, gas cluster targets, with their high densities and resistance to heat conduction, combine the advantages of both gas and solid targets. High temperature and high-density plasmas with satellite lines from multiply charged ions have been observed: 2p-1s emissions in Li-like through F-like ions appear in the experimental spectrum. The experimental satellite spectra show sensitivity to pulse duration, laser contrast, and cluster size. Since the laser energy is deposited in such a short timescale, a time-dependent model is being developed to study the plasma formation in such systems. In the present work, preliminary time-integrated spectra simulated from this model are presented assuming different initial conditions for the pre-plasma. The computational model also includes a provision for non-thermal electrons at energies substantially above the mean plasma temperature.

The X-ray emission duration was studied by time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy. Frequency domain interferometry provided a measurement of the hydrodynamic expansion of the back of the foil as a function of time. The effect of longitudinal temperature gradients, i.e., gradients perpendicular to the surface, were decreased using very thin foil targets. Additionally, radial gradients effects, i.e., gradients parallel to the surface, were limited by using a 50 μm pinhole on target. The Al, Se and Sm spectra, recorded in the range 7.7–8 A˚ using a conical crystal spectrometer coupled to an 800 fs resolution streak camera, lasted a few picoseconds. Sm spectra showed no spectral features in this wavelength range, providing a spectrally homogeneous backlighter for future experiments. The main features of the experimental time-resolved spectra have been well reproduced with one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the free expansion of a plasma heated at a given initial temperature obtained from the expansion velocity of the rear critical surface of the plasma.

There are several potential benefits to using z-pinch radiation for opacity measurements, including relatively large cm-scale lateral sample sizes and relatively-long 3–5 ns experiment durations. These features enhance sample uniformity. The spectrally resolved transmission through a CH-tamped NaBr foil was measured. The z-pinch produced the X-rays for both the heating source and backlight source. The (50±4) eV foil electron temperature and (3±1)×1021 cm−3 foil electron density were determined by analysis of the Na absorption features. LTE and NLTE opacity model calculations of the n=2 to 3, 4 transitions in bromine ionized into the M-shell are in reasonably good agreement with the data.

The coefficients of the linear equations for the populations and the temperatures of these SCs are deduced from the rates of the atomic processes between the constituent configurations. The obtained ion balance is close to the results of previous calculations by other methods. The simulated spectrum agrees very well with the experimental spectrum.

A ray-trace algorithm is used to model the refraction of the X-ray beam due to electron density gradients. The electron density profile used in the ray-trace calculations is provided by the hydro-code EHYBRID. Knowing the beam paths for various initial conditions the intensity and population densities are calculated in the saturation regime by using a Maxwell–Bloch approach. In the saturation regime, interaction between the pencil-shaped X-ray beam and the medium must be taken into account. In our modeling, the radiative transfer equation and the population rate equations are handled in a single calculation as the X-ray electric field affects the level populations and vice versa.

FLY has provided a basis for studies of K-shell ions up to Z=26, where its ease of use, PC application base, and synthetic spectral production have made it attractive to both experimentalists and modelers. However, the application has been focused on K-shell ions where less ionized species are represented as a ground state only. To attempt to make this simple model predict the ionization and recombination through the less ionized stages, we extend the model to include kinetics models for all ion stages. The emphasis of this extension is not to provide detailed spectra or population for the L- or M-shell, but to provide a K-shell model with enhanced accuracy in those cases where ionization and recombination through the L- and M-shell are important. This work is a first step in generating an application that will allow detailed analysis of sub-picosecond self-consistent velocity distribution and population kinetics solutions. We will discuss the extensions and provide examples. Finally, we will outline the progress towards the eventual goal of the self-consistent solution.

For this purpose a Ti:Sapphire laser was used, which delivers after frequency doubling, pulses of high contrast with an energy of about 60 mJ and a duration of 150 fs at 395 nm. The typical intensity on the target was a few 1017 W/cm2. To achieve a high degree of uniformity we used targets consisting of a 25 nm thin Al tracer layer buried at different depths up to 400 nm in solid carbon. Time-integrated Al K-shell spectra are presented. Characteristic features of the spectra are significant high-order satellite line emission, strong line broadening and a center-of-mass line shift to the red, which was observed in transitions from principal quantum number n=2 or 3 to 1. Accurate measurement of the shift was made possible by using the cold Si line as an absolute wavelength calibration. In addition to time-integrated measurements, we used an ultrafast X-ray streak camera to obtain time and spectrally resolved spectra. Typical durations of the Lyα and Heα lines are in the range 2–4 ps. The experimental results are compared with a time-dependent model, which combines hydrodynamic simulations, time-dependent atomic kinetics, detailed spectral line shapes including line shifts, and radiation transport.

The spectra are recorded with spectral resolution λ/Δλ=3000–8000 from three different laser sources: a 15 ns-pulse length Nd:glass, a ps-pulse length Nd:glass, a 12 ns-pulse length XeCl laser. These spectral observations are used to classify the transitions in the 2pnd and 2snp Rydberg series of the Ne-like copper and zinc ions, and to derive their first and second ionization energies. The plasma X-ray emission is simulated with a steady-state collisional-radiative model that includes the effect of self-absorption on line intensities, and the effect of hot-electron populations on the ionization balance. These spectra, along with those in our other recent work, provide a comprehensive set of data that can be used to test the accuracy of atomic-structure calculations, and to demonstrate the importance of opacity and hot electron effects on high-n transitions.

We demonstrate the cancellation of the direct and exchange self-interaction terms in the three-dimensional form of the equations. The direct self-interaction terms are also shown to cancel for each partial wave in the radial equations obtained from the spin and angular momentum analysis. We discuss how this inhomogeneous formulation avoids normalization difficulties encountered in our previous homogeneous eigenvalue formulation. Finally, the photoabsorption of the atom is given in terms of its polarizability.

Line emission from trace elements placed in the capsule can be used to diagnose the extent of the departures from an ideal spherical implosion. This paper presents the results of a large number of 2D simulations and a few 3D simulations of line emission from argon in the DH fuel and titanium placed in the inner layers of the plastic shell of a Nova ICF capsule. In the simulations, the interface between the fuel and the shell becomes highly distorted. The simulations are compared to Nova experimental data on the thermonuclear yield, the ratio of argon Ly-β to titanium He-α, the relative strength of titanium He-α and its satellite lines, and the strength of the continuum near titanium He-α. The agreement is good enough to confirm that the simulations correctly model the basic character of the implosion.

This source will provide 1013 photons in a 200 fs duration pulse that is tunable from ∼6 to 100 nm. Laser-based plasma spectroscopic techniques have been used with great success to determine the line shapes of atomic transitions in plasmas, study the population kinetics of atomic systems embedded in plasmas, and look at the redistribution of radiation. However, the possibilities for optical lasers end for plasmas with ne⩾1022 cm−3 as light propagation is severely altered by the plasma. Since an XUV-FEL will not have this limitation the entire field of high density plasma kinetics in laser produced plasma will then be available to study with the tunable source. Thus, one will be able to use these X-ray sources to pump individual transitions creating enhanced population in the excited states that can be easily monitored. We show two case studies illuminating different aspects of plasma spectroscopy.

To this end, Ar-doped D2-filled plastic shells were irradiated with the OMEGA laser system. We focus on processing and analysis of data recorded with a new X-ray imager (MMI-2) that records numerous narrow-band images that include both line and continuum emission. The temperature and density gradients are determined by using a multi-objective analysis of X-ray narrow-band images and X-ray line spectra. This analysis self-consistently determines the temperature and density gradients that yield the best fits to the spatially-resolved emissivity and space-integrated spectral line shapes.

Introducing a wavefunction representation in terms of amplitude and phase allows a coarser radial mesh leading to considerable speed up. However, special treatments of solving the non-linear differential equation for the amplitude and evaluating the radial dipole integrals are required. These algorithmic details are presented and contrasted to earlier schemes. A non-recursive method for calculating spherical Bessel functions of large order is also given.

By scanning the excitation wavelength, we can measure spectral response and photoconductive excitation spectra. Deep-level impurities can also be detected by several variations of RCPCD.

In this paper we specifically model the invasive behavior of such tumors viewed as complex dynamic biosystems. Based on the spatio-temporal patterns seen in an experimental setting for multicellular brain tumor spheroids we propose an invasion-guiding, dynamical profile of heterotype and homotype attractor substances. We present a novel theoretical and numerical framework for a mathematical tumor model composed of a set of coupled reaction–diffusion equations describing chemotactic and haptotactic cell behavior. In particular, our continuum model simulates tumor cell motility guided by the principle of least resistance, most permission and highest attraction. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the computational algorithm is capable of reproducing patterns similar to the experimentally observed behavior.

All films were taken from the same continuously processed tape. Critical current densities as high as 1.34 MA/cm2 have been obtained for a precursor reaction rate of 2.0 A˚/s. Higher reaction rates (up to 17 A˚/s) lead to lower critical current densities and incompletely developed YBCO. The reaction rate increases with increasing PH2O, increasing T, and decreasing PO2. The reaction rate increases linearly with increasing PH2O for the range of pressures used here (0.0125–5.0 mTorr). The formation of non-epitaxial YBCO is generally associated with lower T and higher reaction rate, whereas the formation of barium cerate, which results from a reaction of the precursor and the CeO2-capped substrate, is generally associated with higher T and lower reaction rate. General trends in the formation of crystalline phases during conversion may serve as a baseline for development of higher rate conversion processing for thicker, higher performance YBCO.

Two distinct regimes are found as the stirring rate is increased. When the reaction is slow (or fast stirring) localised temperature perturbations decay—the flame is quenched by the flow. If the reaction is fast (or slow stirring) a localised ignition leads to a stationary flame with complex filamental structure. The width of the filaments depends on the reaction and stirring rates. This problem is investigated numerically in 2D for an open flow system formed by two alternately opened point-vortex-sinks and the results are compared with previous results [Physica D 176 (1–2) (2003) 67–81] from a 1D ‘mean-strain’ model for the transverse profile of the flame filaments. The system is studied for different Lewis and Damko¨hler numbers, with a critical Damko¨hler number being found, dependent on the Lewis number, for the transition from trivial to combustion states. A comparison between time-periodic and steady flow regimes shows that chaotic motion of the fluid elements in the unsteady flow significantly enhances the combustion.

When the opinions of two agents are sufficiently close, they both acquire the average of their initial opinions; otherwise, they do not interact. Generically, the system reaches a steady state with a finite number of isolated, non-interacting opinion clusters (“parties”). As the initial opinion range increases, the number of such parties undergoes a periodic sequence of bifurcations. Both major and minor parties emerge, and these are organized in alternating pattern. This behavior is illuminated by considering discrete opinion states.

Highest sorption was for PVP, followed by PHEMA. PMMA and PAN sorbed very little water. All the polymers exhibit a BET type III sorption isotherm; the large upturn at high activity for PVP and PHEMA is probably due to plasticization of the polymers by water vapor. Sorption data were interpreted using Flory–Huggins theory and the Zimm and Lundberg cluster integral.Fickian diffusion is observed for PHEMA. For PVP, the fractional uptake Mt/M∞ is linear with the square root of the time up to Mt/M∞=0.6−0.8 for all water activities aw, but it shows a clear water sorption overshoot at aw=55.3% and aw=72.1%, probably due to macromolecular relaxation. PMMA sorption kinetics is also characterized by a maximum in the water uptake. The diffusion coefficient increases significantly with water concentration for PVP and PHEMA, weakly for PMMA, but it is independent of concentration for PAN.

These include the law of induction, for magneto-inductive devices; the Ampere force law, for magnetomechanical sensors; and changes in materials properties under the action of a magnetic field, such as magnetoresistance, magneto-optics or magnetoelasticity for sensors based on magnetoelectronics (Proceedings of the 5th Conference on Magnetic Materials, Measurements and Modeling: symposium on magnetic sensors materials and devices, Ames, Iowa, USA, May 16–17, 2002). The identification and characterization of new materials with enhanced magnetic properties is important for the development of improved sensors and actuators.

Female mice of three strains [CF1, MTN (metallothionein-wild-type), and MT1,2KO (MT1,2-deficient)] were placed on a low-calcium diet for 2 weeks. Each mouse was gavaged with 200 μg Cd or vehicle only. Fecal calcium was monitored daily for 9 days, beginning 4 days before cadmium gavage, to document the bone response. For CF1 mice, bones were taken from four groups: +/− Cd, 2 h after Cd and +/− Cd, 4 h after Cd. MTN and MT1,2KO strains had two groups each: +/−Cd, 4 h after Cd. PolyA+ RNA preparations from marrow-free shafts of femura and tibiae of each +/− Cd pair were submitted to Incyte Genomics for microarray analysis. Fecal Ca results showed that bone calcium excreted after cadmium differed for the three mouse strains: CF1, 0.24 ± 0.08 mg; MTN, 0.92 ± 0.22 mg; and MT1,2KO, 1.7 ± 0.4 mg. Gene array results showed that nearly all arrayed genes were unaffected by cadmium. However, MT1 and MT2 had Cd+/Cd− expression ratios >1 in all four groups, while all ratios for MT3 were essentially 1, showing specificity. Both probes for MAPK 14 (p38 MAPK) had expression ratios >1, while no other MAPK responded to cadmium. Vacuolar proton pump ATPase and integrin alpha v (osteoclast genes), transferrin receptor, and src-like adaptor protein genes were stimulated by Cd; other src-related genes were unaffected. Genes for bone formation, stress response, growth factors, and signaling molecules showed little or no response to cadmium. Results support the hypothesis that Cd stimulates bone demineralization via a p38 MAPK pathway involving osteoclast activation.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/16/ VL - 681 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 93 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - A new model for the effective two-body nucleon-nucleon interaction has been recently successful in calculation of ground state properties of spherical, doubly closed shell nuclei from 16O to 208Pb [1] and nuclear matter and neutron star properties [2]. The application of the density dependent finite range separable monopole (SMO) interaction has been now extended to axially symmetrical deformed nuclei [3]. In the present paper we report on HF+BCS calculation of ground-state properties of even-even spherical and deformed N = Z and proton-rich nuclei between the N = Z and the proton-drip line for 28≤Z≤50. The SMO results shown include total energy surfaces and deduced shapes, single-particle energies, two-dimensional distribution of nucleon densities, charge radii and two-proton separation energies. A comparison is made with results obtained using the SkO Skyrme interaction and some other theoretical models as well as with experimental data, where available. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Following their separation from the incident beam particles, reaction products were implanted in a position-sensitive silicon detector. Two events with Eα of 7602 and 7629 keV were observed and assigned to 178Pb because they were position-correlated with known descendants in the 174Hg α-decay chain. The half-life of 178Pb was calculated with the maximum likelihood method to be 122[sub -50][sup +290] μs. A mass excess of 3608(39) keV and a proton separation energy of 362(48) keV were deduced for 178Pb based on the known masses of 174Hg and 177Tl. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/16/ VL - 681 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 161 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The anomalous proton-decay rates in 131Eu and 141Ho have been explained by the presence of large quadrupole deformation. Consistent with this hypothesis was the discovery of the decay branch in 131Eu to the 2+ state in the daughter nucleus. Direct evidence that 141Ho and 131Eu are deformed came from the observation of rotational bands. From the dynamic moment of inertia the deformation of β2=0.25(4) was deduced for the 141Ho ground state. The large signature splitting in the ground-state band in 141Ho indicates that Coriolis mixing plays an important role in this nucleus. The comparison between the Particle-Rotor Model and the data indicates that 141Ho has significant hexadecapole deformation and/or might be triaxial. The comparison between theory and experiment constrains other parameters used in the proton decay rate calculations from deformed nuclei such as the Coriolis interaction and pairing strength. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These experiments used (HI, p2n) reactions to populate the proton emitters and employed the recoil decay tagging technique to identify gamma rays in the corresponding proton-unbound nucleus. Gamma-decay sequences were established in these nuclei and their configurations were tentatively assigned based on systematic trends. This paper reviews the three experimental studies and discusses the data in comparison with those of their neighboring nuclei. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/16/ VL - 681 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 187 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Excited structures in the proton-rich nucleus 140Dy were established following the decay of a 7.3±1.5 μs, Kπ = 8- isomer. The isomer decays into the yrast line at the 8+ state, revealing a rotational band with a deduced deformation of β2 = 0.24(3). The isotope 140Dy is the daughter of the deformed proton emitter 141Ho. The new information obtained here supports the role of deformation in proton emission and the previous assignments of single-particle configurations to the two proton emitting states in 141Ho. In addition, the reduced hindrance factor measured for the isomer is consistent with the trend observed in the N = 74 isotones and shows no deviation which could be attributed to the proximity of 140Dy to the proton drip line. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/09/16/ VL - 42 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 10579 EP - 10588 SN - 00062960 AB - We have gained new insight into the interactions between the second-messenger protein calmodulin (CaM) and myosin light chain kinase from skeletal muscle (skMLCK) using small-angle solution scattering and shape restoration. Specifically, we explored the nature of a 2Ca[sup 2+]-CaM-skMLCK complex and compared it to a 4Ca[sup 2+]-CaM-skMLCK complex under the same conditions. The 2Ca[sup 2+] complex has been proposed to be physiologically relevant. To aid in the interpretation of the data, we developed a shape restoration approach, implemented in GA_STRUCT, that combines many of the best features of other available methods into a single, automated package. Importantly, GA_STRUCT explicitly addresses the problem of the existence of multiple solutions to the inverse scattering problem and produces a consensus envelope from a set of shapes that fit the input intensity. Small-angle scattering intensity profiles measured or calculated from known structures were used to test GA_STRUCT, which was then used to generate low-resolution models for three complexes: 2Ca[sup 2+]-CaM-skMLCK, 4Ca[sup 2+]-CaM-skMLCK, and 4Ca[sup 2+]CaM-skMLCK with a bound substrate. These models were used in conjunction with high-resolution structures of the protein components to better understand the interactions among them. In the case of the 2Ca[sup 2+]-CaM-skMLCK complex, the consensus envelope is consistent with CaM in a fully collapsed state with its two globular lobes in close contact with each other while the catalytic cleft of the kinase is open. The consensus envelope for the 4Ca[sup 2+]-CaM-skMLCK complex indicates that the collapsed CaM has swung further away from the open catalytic cleft of the skMLCK than in the 2Ca[sup 2+] complex, and further that substrate binding to this complex results in closure of the kinase catalytic cleft, in agreement with previous-neutron scattering results. These results indicate that activation of MLCK by CaM can only occur once CaM is fully translocated away from the catalytic cleft, which is presumably linked to full release of the pseudo-substrate/inhibitory sequence. Our scattering data indicate that this step is completed only when all four calcium binding sites are loaded.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/09/16/ VL - 42 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 10674 EP - 10682 SN - 00062960 AB - We have used frequency-domain fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate the structural linkage between the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of the regulatory protein phospholamban (PLB). Using an engineered PLB having a single cysteine (Cys[sup 24]) derivatized with the fluorophore N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide (PMal), we have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to measure the average spatial separation and conformational heterogeneity between PMal bound to Cys[sup 24] in the transmembrane domain and Tyr[sup 6] in the cytosolic domain near the amino terminus of PLB. In these measurements, PMal serves as a FRET donor, and Tyr[sup 6] serves as a FRET acceptor following its nitration by tetranitromethane. The native structure of PLB is retained following site-directed mutagenesis and chemical modification, as indicated by the ability of the derivatized PLB to fully regulate the Ca-ATPase following their co-reconstitution. To assess how phosphorylation modulates the stricture of PLB itself, FRET measurements were made following reconstitution of PLB in membrane vesicles made from extracted sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane lipids. We find that the cytosolic domain of PLB assumes a wide range of conformations relative to the transmembrane sequence, consistent with other structural data indicating the presence of a flexible hinge region between the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of PLB Phosphorylation of Ser[sup 16] by PKA results in a 3 Å decrease in the spatial separation between PMal at Cys[sup 24] and nitroTyr[sup 6] and an almost 2-fold decrease in conformational heterogeneity, suggesting a stabilization of the hinge region of PLB possibly through an electrostatic linkage between phosphoSer[sup 16] and Arg[sup 13] that promotes a coil-to-helix transition. This structural transition has the potential to function as a conformational switch, since inhibition of the Ca-ATPase requires disruption of the secondary structure of PLB in the vicinity of the hinge element to permit association with the nucleotide binding domain at a site located approximately 50 Å above the membrane surface. Following phosphorylation, the stabilization of the helical content in the hinge domain will disrupt this inhibitory interaction by reducing the maximal dimension of the cytosolic domain of PLB. Thus. stabilization of the structure of PLB following phosphorylation of Ser[sup 16] is part of a switching mechanism, which functions to alter binding interactions between PLB and the nucleotide binding domain of the Ca-ATPase that modulates enzyme inhibition.

T1 - A review of drainage and spontaneous rupture in free standing thin films with tangentially immobile interfaces JO - Advances in Colloid & Interface Science JF - Advances in Colloid & Interface Science Y1 - 2003/09/18/ VL - 105 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 3 SN - 00018686 AB - A review of spontaneous rupture in thin films with tangentially immobile interfaces is presented that emphasizes the theoretical developments of film drainage and corrugation growth through the linearization of lubrication theory in a cylindrical geometry. Spontaneous rupture occurs when corrugations from adjacent interfaces become unstable and grow to a critical thickness. A corrugated interface is composed of a number of waveforms and each waveform becomes unstable at a unique transition thickness. The onset of instability occurs at the maximum transition thickness, and it is shown that only upper and lower bounds of this thickness can be predicted from linear stability analysis. The upper bound is equivalent to the Frenkel criterion and is obtained from the zeroth order approximation of the H3 term in the evolution equation. This criterion is determined solely by the film radius, interfacial tension and Hamaker constant. The lower bound is obtained from the first order approximation of the H3 term in the evolution equation and is dependent on the film thinning velocity. A semi-empirical equation, referred to as the MTR equation, is obtained by combining the drainage theory of Manev et al. [J. Dispersion Sci. Technol., 18 (1997) 769] and the experimental measurements of [Radoev et al. J. Colloid Interface Sci. 95 (1983) 254] and is shown to provide accurate predictions of film thinning velocity near the critical thickness of rupture. The MTR equation permits the prediction of the lower bound of the maximum transition thickness based entirely on film radius, Plateau border radius, interfacial tension, temperature and Hamaker constant. The MTR equation extrapolates to Reynolds equation under conditions when the Plateau border pressure is small, which provides a lower bound for the maximum transition thickness that is equivalent to the criterion of Gumerman and Homsy [Chem. Eng. Commun. 2 (1975) 27]. The relative accuracy of either bound is thought to be dependent on the amplitude of the hydrodynamic corrugations, and a semi-empirical correlation is also obtained that permits the amplitude to be calculated as a function of the upper and lower bound of the maximum transition thickness. The relationship between the evolving theoretical developments is demonstrated by three film thickness master curves, which reduce to simple analytical expressions under limiting conditions when the drainage pressure drop is controlled by either the Plateau border capillary pressure or the van der Waals disjoining pressure. The master curves simplify solution of the various theoretical predictions enormously over the entire range of the linear approximation. Finally, it is shown that when the Frenkel criterion is used to assess film stability, recent studies reach conclusions that are contrary to the relevance of spontaneous rupture as a cell-opening mechanism in foams.

They have old, coeval stellar populations suggesting that the bulk of their stars must have formed at early epochs in spectacular starbursts, which should be luminous phenomena when observed at submillimetre wavelengths. The most popular model of galaxy formation predicts that these galaxies form in proto-clusters at high-density peaks in the early Universe. Such peaks are indicated by massive high-redshift radio galaxies. Here we report deep submillimetre mapping of seven high-redshift radio galaxies and their environments. These data confirm not only the presence of spatially extended regions of massive star-formation activity in the radio galaxies themselves, but also in companion objects previously undetected at any wavelength. The prevalence, orientation, and inferred masses of these submillimetre companion galaxies suggest that we are witnessing the synchronous formation of the most luminous elliptical galaxies found today at the centres of rich clusters of galaxies.

The sphere is discretized using a hexahedral grid although any grid imaginable can be used as long as it is comprised of quadrilaterals. The equations are written in Cartesian coordinates to eliminate the pole singularity which plagues the equations in spherical coordinates. In a previous paper [Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids 35 (2001) 869] we showed how to construct an explicit Eulerian spectral element (SE) model on the sphere; we now extend this work to a semi-Lagrangian formulation. The novelty of the Lagrangian formulation presented is that the high order SE basis functions are used as the interpolation functions for evaluating the values at the Lagrangian departure points. This makes the method not only high order accurate but quite general and thus applicable to unstructured grids and portable to distributed memory computers. The equations are discretized fully implicitly in time in order to avoid having to interpolate derivatives at departure points. By incorporating the Coriolis terms into the Lagrangian derivative, the block LU decomposition of the equations results in a symmetric positive-definite pseudo-Helmholtz operator which we solve using the generalized minimum residual method (GMRES) with a fast projection method [Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 163 (1998) 193]. Results for eight test cases are presented to confirm the accuracy and stability of the method. These results show that SESL yields the same accuracy as an Eulerian spectral element semi-implicit (SESI) while allowing for time-steps 10 times as large and being up to 70% more efficient.

In this fourth generation cell design, measurement and data collection capabilities have been modified to significantly improve ease of use and quality of information obtained. The current configuration allows examination of spatial resolution of the cell current and cell voltage with respect to well-defined baseline reference measurements, as well as measurement of the high frequency resistance (HFR) distribution and spatial ac impedance spectroscopy. This specially designed cell is intended for use in studies on time and location resolved carbon monoxide poisoning, humidification and flow-field design effects on fuel cell performance.

However, using first-principles density functional calculations, we found that it is energetically favorable for Pb adatoms to intermix with Si atoms to form mixed dimer chains on Si(1 0 0), instead of Pb–Pb dimer chains as assumed in previous studies. Up to a Pb coverage of 0.125 ML, mixed PbSi dimer chain is 0.19 eV per Pb atom lower in energy than Pb dimer chain.

This Level 2 impact parameter trigger utilizes information from the Silicon Microstrip Tracker to reconstruct tracks with improved spatial and momentum resolutions compared to those obtained by the Level 1 tracking trigger. It is constructed of VME boards with much of the logic existing in programmable processors. A common motherboard provides the I/O infrastructure and three different daughter boards perform the tasks of identifying the roads from the tracking trigger data, finding the clusters in the roads in the silicon detector, and fitting tracks to the clusters. This approach provides flexibility for the design, testing and maintenance phases of the project. The track parameters are provided to the trigger framework in 25 μs. The effective impact parameter resolution for high-momentum tracks is 35 μm, dominated by the size of the Tevatron beam.

It employs single-sided silicon strip sensors of 50 μm pitch operated at a temperature of 130 K. Two tracking stations determine the transverse coordinates of the interaction point at the target with 20 μm resolution, to improve the determination of the offset of secondary vertices. This impact parameter measurement allows NA60 to distinguish between prompt dimuons and muon pairs from D-meson decays. The detector concept and technical feasibility have been demonstrated in beam time periods between 1999 and 2002.

The effects of small additions of magnetic and non-magnetic impurities were examined. Resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that the undoped material is a Pauli paramagnet displaying Fermi-liquid behaviour, while ferromagnetic ordering was observed at T ≈ 150 K with small additions of Ce, La or Co. Analysis of the electronic specific heat γ and magnetic susceptibility gives an unexpectedly large Wilson ratio R W of 1.76, a value indicative of correlated electron behaviour. We present the general physical properties and based on the sensitivity of the magnetic properties to doping, show evidence that β- Ti 6 Sn 5 exhibits a ground state in close proximity to a non-magnetic and magnetic phase boundary.

At low mass (Mox, x ≤ 6), cluster ions produced in expansions of ammonia gas contained up to three nitrogen atoms; however, heavier species (Mox, x ≤ 40) appear to be pure molybdenum metal clusters. The mass distributions for the sulfide clusters indicate a “magic number” structure at Mo6S4+ which is attributed to a stable structure previously observed for the [Cu6S4]- anion. Also, the dependence of cluster distributions on the fluence of the ionizing laser was investigated to gain insight on the observed cluster ion distributions using a simple, qualitative kinetic model.

Deposition kinetics were studied using an in situ microbalance and showed a long induction period followed by a second region of extensive growth, both of which depended on the solution supersaturation. Solution studies revealed that the growth of calcium phosphate onto the surfaces after the induction period corresponded to nucleation and growth in solution. Nuclei formed in solution, started to grow, adsorbed onto the substrates, and then grew further to form apatite films composed of coalesced, oriented crystallites. The solution-formed critical nucleus mechanism is in contrast to heterogeneous nucleation and reveals an important mechanism for calcium phosphate growth onto surfaces.

From transmission electron microscopy and laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, the mean nanocrystalline diameter is estimated to be 5.4 nm. Large-angle X-ray diffraction is qualitatively consistent with the rhombic phase (acanthite) of Ag2S. The removal of the silver thiolate polymer is confirmed by mass spectrometry, and initial results indicate that fractional crystallization may be utilized to separate these large nanocrystalline compounds by their respective core sizes. Optical absorption spectroscopy indicates a band gap of 1.1 eV, which is not shifted appreciably from the bulk value for this direct band gap semiconductor.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/09/22/ VL - 107 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 10446 SN - 15206106 AB - Neutron quasielastic scattering experiments were carried out on aqueous solutions of 500 u molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (PEG-DME) in deuterated water. The intermediate scattering functions extracted from the measured neutron scattering can be fitted by a combination of a fast second-order exponential decay (t < 2 ps) and a slower first-order exponential decay. The analysis of the momentum transfer (Q) dependence of the decay constant for the slower component shows that it has an approximately constant value at Q''s less than 13 nm-1 and then increases linearly up to the highest momentum transfer (25 nm-1). Both the slope of the higher-Q linear region and the individual Q-dependent decay constants show a minimum in the PEG-DME weight fraction range of 0.6-0.9. Further analysis of the neutron-scattering data to check the effect of multiple scattering in the sample shows that only the shape of the fast decay (t < 2 ps) is affected by this correction. A direct quantitative comparison is made between experiment and molecular dynamics simulations. Fourier transforming the experimental data from the frequency domain into the time domain to yield the intermediate scattering function allows for a quantitative comparison with the equivalent function calculated from the simulations. Furthermore, a Monte Carlo simulation of the experiment based on simulation results is used to account for the effect of multiple scattering quantitatively, which represents a novel approach to dealing with the complications arising from multiple scattering. This correction is significant, resulting in excellent agreement between experiment and the simulations. Both simulation and experiment give rise to a maximum in the relaxation time for PEG-DME proton motion in the PEG-DME weight fraction range of 0.6-0.9. On the basis of the simulations, this maximum arises from competition between the slowing down of the torsional transitions due to hydrogen bonding between the water and the PEG-DME ether oxygens, and the addition of a sufficient quantity of water results in an increasing fraction of large water clusters and more mobile water (i.e., a low-viscosity solvent). The former dominates at low dilution, and the latter dominates at higher dilution, leading to the enhanced backbone motion of the PEG-DME and the observed maximum in the residence time of the PEG-DME protons as a function of composition.

The immobilization of 3.5-6.0 nm CdTe and 2.0-3.5 nm CdSe QDs within the PEG hydrogel network has been shown to be effective through utilization of physical trapping. These QD-immobilized gel systems demonstrated luminescence characteristics unique to semiconductor QD nanocrystals. Controlled particle extraction from the PEG hydrogel matrix may be possible via a photocleavage process. The solubility property of QDs was controlled through surface functionalization. It is envisioned that the unique photophysical properties of this new material can be utilized as a convenient signal transducer for chemo-/bio-sensing. A promising application of the described QD/PEG-NC hybrid system may be in the fields of fluoroimmunoassay and as a monitoring system for drug delivery and wound healing.

Experimentally, the relationship between the spreading rate of dissolution steps and their sizes is first measured and the elimination of active dissolution sites is observed at different undersaturations. The results reinforce our previous “self-inhibition” model in which the dissolution rates decrease with time and the reactions are effectively suppressed. The data suggest a metastable zone for dissolution in undersaturated solutions, and this is confirmed by constant composition dissolution experiments near equilibrium. Clearly, it is important to understand the mechanism of dissolution when attempts are made to measure, experimentally, the solubilities of sparingly soluble minerals. Surface dissolution pits not only play important roles in dissolution kinetics, but also they can directly influence crystal morphology.

Here we quantify the changes in ocean pH that may result from this continued release of CO2 and compare these with pH changes estimated from geological and historical records. We find that oceanic absorption of CO2 from fossil fuels may result in larger pH changes over the next several centuries than any inferred from the geological record of the past 300 million years, with the possible exception of those resulting from rare, extreme events such as bolide impacts or catastrophic methane hydrate degassing.

Non-zero magnetic screening is found if the distribution is anisotropic, confirming the results of a closed-time-path-integral approach. We find that the electric and magnetic screening effects depend on both the orientation of the momentum carried by the boson and the orientation of its polarization. In some orientations there can be antiscreening, reflecting the instabilities of such a medium. We present some fairly general conditions on the dependence of these effects on the anisotropy.

The average lifetime of the carotenoid S2 state was ∼57 fs for wild type trimers and ∼70 fs for trimers from a mutant plant with a distinctly different carotenoid composition. We estimate that ∼56% of the energy transferred from carotenoids to chlorophylls proceeds via the carotenoid S2 state in the wild type and ∼46% in the mutant. By comparison with the fluorescence excitation spectra, we find that ∼20% of the energy transferred in both samples proceeds through the carotenoid S1 state.

In the case of multiple nanowires, however, we find that the effect of the coating is similar to bringing bare nanowires closer together, i.e., it leads to greater light intensities between the wires and more complex spectra.

The internal salts investigated can be added at high molarity since they are net-neutral, and furthermore show potential for increasing electroosmotic pumping owing to their large positive dielectric increment. Streaming potential measurements of buffered aqueous systems with varying concentrations of ammonioalkyl sulfonate internal salts have been used to measure these dielectric increments, which increase with the length of the alkyl linker. Due to their positive dielectric increments and their decremental effect on solution conductivity, all of the measured species are predicted to improve the pressure generation (up to 85%) and efficiency performance (up to 140%) of electrokinetic pumps when added at 1 M concentration. RP-HPLC separations with an ammonioalkyl sulfonate (TMAPS) have been performed and indicate that separation performance is essentially unaffected by these species. These results indicate the potential for a variety of ammonioalkyl sulfonates to be used to improve electrokinetic pump performance for miniaturized HPLC.

Proteomics is the tracking of this protein expression. Post-translational modification (PTM) is a “subtle change” that has a major influence on signal transduction. Phosphorylation and glycosylation propagate signals by sequential, reversible modifications. High-sensitivity, high-resolution and multiple MS capabilities of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry permit localization of the PTM(s) with electron-capture dissociation, and then structural determination of the PTM with infrared multiphoton dissociation.

T1 - Mixtures of Wild-type and a Pathogenic (E22G) Form of Aβ40 in Vitro Accumulate Protofibrils, Including Amyloid Pores JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2003/09/26/ VL - 332 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 795 SN - 00222836 AB - Although APP mutations associated with inherited forms of Alzheimer''s disease (AD) are relatively rare, detailed studies of these mutations may prove critical for gaining important insights into the mechanism(s) and etiology of AD. Here, we present a detailed biophysical characterization of the structural properties of protofibrils formed by the Arctic variant (E22G) of amyloid-β protein (Aβ40ARC) as well as the effect of Aβ40WT on the distribution of the protofibrillar species formed by Aβ40ARC by characterizing biologically relevant mixtures of both proteins that may mimic the situation in the heterozygous patients. These studies revealed that the Arctic mutation accelerates both Aβ oligomerization and fibrillogenesis in vitro. In addition, Aβ40ARC was observed to affect both the morphology and the size distribution of Aβ protofibrils. Electron microscopy examination of the protofibrils formed by Aβ40ARC revealed several morphologies, including: (1) relatively compact spherical particles roughly 4–5 nm in diameter; (2) annular pore-like protofibrils; (3) large spherical particles 18–25 nm in diameter; and (4) short filaments with chain-like morphology. Conversion of Aβ40ARC protofibrils to fibrils occurred more rapidly than protofibrils formed in mixed solutions of Aβ40WT/Aβ40ARC, suggesting that co-incubation of Aβ40ARC with Aβ40WT leads to kinetic stabilization of Aβ40ARC protofibrils. An increase in the ratio of AβWT/AβMUT(Arctic), therefore, may result in the accumulation of potential neurotoxic protofibrils and acceleration of disease progression in familial Alzheimer''s disease mutation carriers.

In this type of circuit, a regulator protein acts to coordinately repress the expression of effector genes when a signal molecule with which it interacts is present. The regulator protein can also independently influence the expression of its own gene, such that regulator gene expression is repressible (like effector genes), constitutive, or inducible. Thus, a signal-directed change in the activity of the regulator protein can result in one of three patterns of coupled regulator and effector gene expression: direct coupling, in which regulator and effector gene expression change in the same direction; uncoupling, in which regulator gene expression remains constant while effector gene expression changes; or inverse coupling, in which regulator and effector gene expression change in opposite directions. We have investigated the functional consequences of each form of coupling using a mathematical model to compare alternative circuits on the basis of engineering-inspired criteria for functional effectiveness. The results depend on whether the regulator protein acts as a repressor or activator of transcription at the promoters of effector genes. In the case of repressor control of effector gene expression, direct coupling is optimal among the three forms of coupling, whereas in the case of activator control, inverse coupling is optimal. Results also depend on the sensitivity of effector gene expression to changes in the level of a signal molecule; the optimal form of coupling can be physically realized only for circuits with sufficiently small sensitivity. These theoretical results provide a rationale for autoregulation of regulator genes in repressible gene circuits and lead to testable predictions, which we have compared with data available in the literature and electronic databases.

These variations occurred with periodicities similar to those of solar activity and appear to be coherent with time series of the cosmogenic nuclides [sup14]C and [sup10]Be as well as North Atlantic drift ice. Our results imply that small variations in solar irradiance induced pronounced cyclic changes in northern high-latitude environments. They also provide evidence that centennialscale shifts in the Holocene climate were similar between the subpolar regions of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, possibly because of Sunocean-climate linkages.

It is defined using an equation for the melting pressure of 3He over the complete temperature range, and forms an extension of the International Temperature Scale of 1990, ITS-90, below its lower limit of 0.65 K. An internationally-accepted ultra-low temperature scale is needed to provide the basis for reliable thermometry in the temperature range in which commercial dilution refrigerators operate, and at lower temperatures where experiments investigating the thermodynamic properties of 3He and other condensed matter are carried out in many research centres. This paper is a summary of a fuller publication describing the background and derivation of the scale, published in the Journal of Low Temperature Physics [1], and includes tables of values of melting pressure, pm / MPa, and temperature T2000 / K, and the derivative, dpm /dT2000 in MPa/K. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The pyrometer uses a pair of off-axis parabolic mirrors to collect radiance emitted from a target of 1 mm in diameter. A single optical fiber delivers the collected radiant flux to the detector housing. Three dichroic beam splitters are used to spectrally split the light into four beams that are then focused onto an equal number of LN2-cooled InSb photodetectors. Broad bandwidth interference filters that are nominally centered at 1.8, 2.4, 3.4, and 5.0 μm define the wavelength ranges of the four channels. The blackbody-temperature threshold of the pyrometer is at about 400 K. The signals are recorded at intervals as short as 20 ns using a four-channel digital oscilloscope. Procedures for calibration and temperature measurements are described. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The temperature-dependent characteristics of this fluorescence provide the basis for noncontact thermometry. In the past decade this approach has been applied to turbine engine diagnostics, liquid temperature measurements for heat pump research, combustion engine intake valve and piston measurements, galvanneal steel processing, transient thermometry of particle beam targets, and microcantilevers used in MEMS devices. The temperatures involved range from ambient to in excess of 1200 °C. Some of these applications have involved fiber optics for light delivery and/or fluorescence signal collection. In addition to fielding these applications, there has been considerable work in the laboratory aimed at exploring further improvements and adding to the database of temperature-characterized phosphors. The activities involve investigation of short-decay time phosphors for use on imaging surfaces moving at high speeds, measuring and modeling pressure as well as temperature dependence, developing phosphor adhesion methods, developing phase-based data acquisition approaches. A significant advance is that light-emitting diodes can now be used to provide adequate stimulation of fluorescence in some applications. Recently nanophosphors have become available. The spectral properties and, by implication, thermal dependence of these properties change with particle size. This has ramifications that need to be explored. The ways in which such materials can be exploited for micro- and nano-technology are just now being addressed. These applications and developments mentioned above will be surveyed and discussed as well as envisioned future improvements and new uses for this thermometry technique. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The apparatus used includes fluorescent activation by a 337 nm nitrogen gas laser and gradual cooling of an alumina thermal mass heated in a controlled-temperature furnace. Newton’s cooling law and autocorrelation methods are used in the data analysis. Since the measurement technique involves the temperature response of molecular lattices it can be expected, with improvements of signal analysis and other laboratory refinements, to provide metrological precision and accuracy in the important temperature region above the aluminum freezing point. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The electron distribution function and Poisson equation are invoked for description of a near-anode region. Numerical solutions suggest that steady-state operation of a Hall thruster can be achieved at different anode sheath regimes. It is shown that the anode sheath depends on the thruster operating conditions, namely the discharge voltage and the mass flow rate. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The sample was grown on (001)-oriented GaAs substrate using solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. We have calculated the variation of the diamagnetic shift as a function of magnetic field using a variational approach and a free exciton model. We assumed a weak type-I conduction-band lineup in our calculations. We found that the values thus obtained are more than twice as large as the observed values. A similar calculation assuming a complete localization of the heavy hole leads to the values of the diamagnetic shift which agree very well with the experimental data. Our study suggests that the excitons are strongly localized in GaAs[sub 0.7]Sb[sub 0.3]/GaAs quantum well structures at low temperatures, and that this heterostructure has a weak type-I conduction-band lineup. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/30/ VL - 683 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 254 EP - 270 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Direct to Digital Holography (DDH) has been developed as a semiconductor wafer inspection tool and in particular as a tool for seeing defects in high aspect ratio (HAR) structures on semiconductor wafers and also for seeing partial-height defects. While the tool works very well for general wafer inspection, it has unusual capabilities for high aspect ratio inspection (HARI) and for detecting thin residual film defects (partial height defects). Inspection of HAR structures is rated as one of the highest unmet priorities of the member companies of International SEMATECH, and finding residual thin film defects (in some cases called “stringers”) is also a very difficult challenge. The capabilities that make DDH unusually sensitive include: 1) the capture of the whole wave—both the classical amplitude captured by traditional optical systems, and the phase of the wave, with phase potentially measured to ∼1/1000’th of a wavelength or ∼2 to 3 Angstroms for a deep ultra-violet (DUV) laser; 2) heterodyne detection—this allows it to capture very low signal levels; and 3) a head-on geometry using a collimated laser beam that allows best penetration of HAR structures. The basic features and methods of this patented technology are presented, along with simple calculations of signal strength and expected noise levels for various circumstances. Full-wave numerical calculations of electromagnetic field penetration into HAR contacts and experimental results from various wafer types and structures are also presented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The sub-Angstrom wavelength provides nanometer level resolution, with the possibility of increased precision after further refinement of the technique.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/09/30/ VL - 683 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 439 EP - 443 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was used to quantify the surface composition profile (top 1 nm to 6 nm) of model chemically amplified photoresists with various photo-acid generators. These materials are prone to interfacial and surface chemical changes that cause deviations in the desired lithographic pattern such as T-topping and closure. If interfacial excess or depletion of the photo-generated acid occurs, either from atmospheric contamination, evaporation, or segregation within the film, the resulting compositional heterogeneity will affect the interfacial photoresist structure, composition, and deprotection kinetics. A significant technical challenge lies in measuring the surface composition and extent of reaction with depth resolution at interfaces. Electron yield NEXAFS allows measurement of the surface chemical composition, particularly for carbon, fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen. When exposed to vacuum ultraviolet x-rays (soft x-rays), the top surface of the material releases electrons that can be measured with a high pass grid analyzer electron yield detector. By varying the negative voltage bias at the entrance grid to the electron yield detector, it is possible to differentiate the kinetic energy of electrons escaping from depths up to 6 nm into the film. This measurement capability becomes increasingly important with the drive towards sub-100 nm lithography. As the photoresist film thickness continually decreases and the interfacial regions dominate the behavior of the material, it is crucial to understand both their physical and chemical nature. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The material transport in inlaid Cu line/via structures is observed with about 40 nm lateral resolution. The image sequences show void formation, migration and nucleation processes. Correlation of the real-time X-ray images with post-mortem SEM micrographs is used to discuss degradation mechanisms in inlaid copper interconnects. Due to the high penetration power of X-rays through matter and its high spatial resolution, X-ray microscopy (XRM) overcomes several limitations of conventional microscopic techniques. It utilizes the natural absorption contrast between the structures of interest, i.e. for on-chip copper interconnects embedded in dielectrics. Due to their different X-ray absorption characteristics at 0.52 keV, even different silicon compounds like Si, SiO2, and Si3N4 can be distinguished in X-ray images of thinned layers as demonstrated. For failure analysis of thicker layers, phase contrast microscopy in the multi-keV photon energy range is proposed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to engineer the soluble rat cytochrome b[sub 5] reductase diaphorase domain to utilize NADPH as the preferred electron donor. Single and double mutations at residues D239 and F251 were made in a recombinant expression system that corresponded to D239E, S and T, F251R, and Y, D239S/F251R, D239S/F251Y, and D239T/ F251R, respectively. Steady-state turnover measurements indicated that D239S/F251Y was bispecific while D239T, D239S/F251R, and D239T/F251R were each NADPH-specific. Wild-type (WT) cytochrome b[sub 5] reductase showed a 3700-fold preference for NADH whereas the mutant with the highest NADPH efficiency, D239T, showed an 11-fold preference for NADPH, a 39200-fold increase. Wild-type cytochrome b[sub 5] reductase only formed a stable charge-transfer complex with NADH while D239T formed complexes with both NADH and NADPH. The rates of hydride ion transfer, determined by stopped-flow kinetics, were k[sup NADH-WT] = 130 s[sup -1], k[sup NADPH-WT] = 5 S[sup -1], k[sup NADH-D239T] = 180 s[sup -1], and k[sup NADPH-D239T] = 73 s[sup -1] K[sub s] determinations by differential spectroscopy demonstrated that D239T could bind nonreducing pyridine nucleotides with a phosphate or a hydroxyl substituent at the 2' position, whereas wild-type cytochrome b[sub 5] reductase would only bind 2' hydroxylated molecules. Oxidation-reduction potentials (E°', n = 2) for the flavin cofactor were WT = -268 mV, D239T = -272 rev, WT+NAD[sup +] = -190 rev, D239T+NAD[sup +] = -206 Mv, WT+NADP[sup +] = -253 Mv, and D239T+NADP[sup +] = -215 Mv, which demonstrated the thermodynamic contribution of NADP[sup +] binding to D239T. The crystal structures of D239T and D239T in complex with NAD[sup +] indicated that the loss of the negative electrostatic surface that precluded 2' phosphate binding in the wild-type enzyme was primarily responsible for the observed improvement in the use of NADPH by the D239T mutant.

It is shown that both the finite colloid size and the characteristics of the colloid diameter distribution significantly affect the shape of colloid concentration breakthrough curves. Furthermore, increasing the standard deviation of the colloid diameter enhances colloid spreading and increases the number of attached colloids when colloid–wall interactions are taken into account. Excellent agreement between available experimental data and the analytical solution for the case of an instantaneous release of monodisperse colloids in a natural fracture is observed.

Hood, Oregon JO - Earth & Planetary Science Letters JF - Earth & Planetary Science Letters Y1 - 2003/09/30/ VL - 214 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 605 SN - 0012821X AB - Groundwater recharge at Mt. Hood, Oregon, is dominated by spring snow melt which provides a natural large-amplitude and narrow-width pore-fluid pressure signal. Time delays between this seasonal groundwater recharge and seismicity triggered by groundwater recharge can thus be used to estimate large-scale hydraulic diffusivities and the state of stress in the crust. We approximate seasonal variations in groundwater recharge with discharge in runoff-dominated streams at high elevations. We interpolate the time series of number of earthquakes, N, seismic moment, Mo, and stream discharge, Q, and determine cross-correlation coefficients at equivalent frequency bands between Q and both N and Mo. We find statistically significant correlation coefficients at a mean time lag of about 151 days. This time lag and a mean earthquake depth of about 4.5 km are used in the solution to the pressure diffusion equation, under periodic (1 year) boundary conditions, to estimate a hydraulic diffusivity of κ≈10−1 m2/s, a hydraulic conductivity of about Kh≈10−7 m/s, and a permeability of about k≈10−15 m2. Periodic boundary conditions also allow us to determine a critical pore-fluid pressure fraction, P′/P0≈0.1, of the applied near-surface pore-fluid pressure perturbation, P0≈0.1 MPa, that has to be reached at the mean earthquake depth to cause hydroseismicity. The low magnitude of P′≈0.01 MPa is consistent with other studies that propose 0.01≤P′≤0.1 MPa and suggests that the state of stress in the crust near Mt. Hood could be near critical for failure. Therefore, we conclude that, while earthquakes occur throughout the year at Mt. Hood, elevated seismicity levels along pre-existing faults south of Mt. Hood during summer months are hydrologically induced by a reduction in effective stress.

In this review recent achievements in the dendrite modeling problem, using two distinct length scale approaches, are summarized. At the nanometer scale, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo techniques have been developed to extract two important properties of the solid–liquid interface: the kinetic coefficient and the solid–liquid interfacial free energy. Perhaps more importantly the atomistic simulation methods are capable of accurately determining the small, yet crucially important, anisotropies of these parameters. At the mesoscopic scale, advances in phase field modeling have largely overcome the numerical problem associated with the large disparity in length scales typically found in dendrite growth. It is demonstrated that, when the atomistic and continuum level approaches are combined, accurate and parameter free predictions of dendrite growth velocities are possible. In addition, extensions of atomistic and phase field modeling to the case of binary alloys are described.

The structural properties of the films were characterized using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The amorphous WO3 films remain as an amorphous phase up to 385°C and begin to crystallize at 390°C and then are completely crystallized at 450°C. Absorption peaks of the films are found to shift to a higher energy side with increasing annealing temperature up to 385°C and then shift abruptly to a lower energy as the films begin to crystallize at 390°C. Deconvolution of the absorption spectra shows that there are two different polaron transitions in the amorphous WO3 films.

JO - Acta Crystallographica: Section D (Wiley-Blackwell) JF - Acta Crystallographica: Section D (Wiley-Blackwell) Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 59 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1679 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09074449 AB - The presynaptic viperotoxin F is the major lethal component of the venom of Viper a russelli formosensis (Taiwan viper). It is a heterodimer of two highly homologous (6% identity) but oppositely charged subunits: a basic and neurotoxic PLA[SUB2] (RV-4) and an acidic non-toxic component with a very low enzymatic activity (RV-7). The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by molecular replacement and refined to 1.9 Å resolution and R factor of 22.3% with four RV-4/RV-7 complexes in the asymmetric unit, which do not exhibit any local point-group symmetry. The complex formation decreases the accessible surface area of the two subunits by ∼ 1425 Å [SUP2]. Both PLA[SUB2]s are predicted to have very low, if any, anticoagulant activity. The structure of viperotoxin F is compared with that of the heterodimeric neurotoxin vipoxin from the venom of another viper, V. Ammodytes meridionalis. The structural basis for the differences between the pharmacological activities of the two toxins is discussed. The neutralization of the negative charge of the major ligand for Ca[SUP2+], Asp49, by intersubunit salt bridges is probably a common mechanism of self-stabilization of heterodimeric Viperinae snake-venom neurotoxins in the absence of bound calcium.

Conventional amplitude data were recorded to 1.5 Å resolution from rhombothedral pig insulin crystals using 1.54 Å Cu Kα radiation. An initial atomic model and starting phases were obtained from a published structure and the atomic model was refined against the amplitude data using CNS. The refined phases were compared with 800 triplet phases that were measured from similar crystals using a three-beam interference technique and 1.1 Å wavelength synchrotron radiation. The solvent region was improved further using a novel density-modification procedure. Calculated triplet phases were obtained from the model after each step in the refinement and were compared with the recorded triplet phases. The average difference between the recorded triplet phases and the calculated triplet phases was used as an unbiased measure of the correctness of the model at each stage in the refinement. The average individual phase error was estimated from discrepancies from triplet phases after each refinement step. Conventional atomic refinement of an approximate starting model reduced the average individual phase error from 21.6 to 14.7°. Improvement of the solvent region, including the difference-map flattening procedure, reduced the individual phase error by a further 2.6° Modeling the discrete disorder of four amino acids accounted for an additional 0.5° improvement and the final individual phase error was 11.6°.

In this paper, we utilize a detailed numerical model of groundwater flow in a region encompassing a large artificial groundwater recharge operation in Orange County, California to evaluate the potential for transport of viruses and protozoan oocysts in such a system, as dictated by a transport model that includes colloid filtration and microbial inactivation components. The purpose of the model is not oriented towards the analysis of any perceived or real microbial contamination, but rather is directed at understanding the influence of aquifer heterogeneity within the modeled system. The transport model is based upon a novel representation of geologic heterogeneity, a high-resolution flow simulator, and an efficient streamline-based transport algorithm. Example virus transport simulations illustrate a large degree of variability in virus breakthrough across water supply pumping wells, with shallower wells providing less than two orders of magnitude of virus removal, and deeper wells indicating many orders of magnitude of virus removal. Simulation results also show variability among pathogens modeled, with Cryptosporidium parvum filtered to a much greater degree than other pathogens. Comparison to transport of an abiotic colloid and a conservative chemical tracer are provided to illustrate the influence of filtration and inactivation on the transport process. The results emphasize the need for improved microbial transport models in realistic aquifer systems, more reliable virus characterization methods and monitoring networks, and their ultimate integration into a broader epidemiological and regulatory framework for aquifer management.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 37 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 780 EP - 790 SN - 02786826 AB - Because size is a major controlling factor for indoor airborne particle behavior, human particle exposure assessments will benefit from improved knowledge of size-specific particle emissions. We report a method of inferring size-specific mass emission factors for indoor sources that makes use of an indoor aerosol dynamics model, measured particle concentration time series data, and an optimization routine. This approach provides--in addition to estimates of the emissions size distribution and integrated emission factors--estimates of deposition rate, an enhanced understanding of particle dynamics, and information about model performance. We applied the method to size-specific environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) particle concentrations measured every minute with an 8-channel optical particle counter (PMS-LASAIR; 0.1-2+ µm diameters) and every 10 or 30 min with a 34-channel differential mobility particle sizer (TSI-DMPS; 0.01-1+ µm diameters) after a single cigarette or cigar was machine-smoked inside a low air-exchange-rate 20 m3 chamber. The aerosol dynamics model provided good fits to observed concentrations when using optimized values of mass emission rate and deposition rate for each particle size range as input. Small discrepancies observed in the first 1-2 h after smoking are likely due to the effect of particle evaporation, a process neglected by the model. Size-specific ETS particle emission factors were fit with log-normal distributions, yielding an average mass median diameter of 0.2 µm and an average geometric standard deviation of 2.3 with no systematic differences between cigars and cigarettes. The equivalent total particle emission rate, obtained by integrating each size distribution, was 0.2-0.7 mg/min for cigars and 0.7-0.9 mg/min for cigarettes.

Code verification calculations are conducted to provide confidence that there are no coding mistakes and include comparisons to highly accurate inviscid benchmark solutions as well as code-to-code comparisons. Special attention is paid to the numerical accuracy of the solutions by carefully monitoring iterative convergence errors and by conducting an extensive grid convergence study. Nonmonotonic convergence of the surface pressure and drag are observed with mesh refinement. The source of this nonmonotonicity is explored in detail. The standard method for determining the spatial order of accuracy is shown to be inadequate for the numerical algorithm employed, and an alternative method is proposed. The overall discretization error of the fine grid surface pressure distributions is estimated to be below 0.4%, with the maximum errors found at the sphere-cone tangency point. With the accuracies demonstrated, it is recommended that the present computations can be used as a numerical benchmark solution for code verification.

Validation of the overall computational model is performed via surface pressure comparisons with experimental data. Careful attention is paid to the submodels in the computational simulations and the assumptions in the experimental data analysis. The computational submodels for molecular viscosity and thermal conductivity are validated by comparisons to experimental data, whereas the vibrational nonequilibrium submodel is validated by comparing to published results using the vibrational master equation. The thermodynamic state of the hypersonic wind-tunnel nozzle is examined, and arguments are made for the presence of a significant amount of vibrational nonequilibrium in the tunnel. After extensive investigation, a 1.4% error was discovered in the freestream static pressure originally reported in the experiment. Accounting for this error, along with the experimental uncertainty and estimated numerical error, agreement was found for surface pressure within 1.5%. The remaining errors are likely due to flowfield nonuniformities in the tunnel, which are estimated using tunnel pitot calibration data and the method of characteristics.

JO - American Journal of Human Genetics JF - American Journal of Human Genetics Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 73 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 939 SN - 00029297 AB - A paternal-age effect and the exclusive paternal origin of mutations have been reported in Apert syndrome (AS). As the incidence of sporadic AS births increases exponentially with paternal age, we hypothesized that the frequency of AS mutations in sperm would also increase. To determine the frequency of two common FGFR2 mutations in AS, we developed allele-specific peptide nucleic acid-PCR assays. Analyzing sperm DNA from 148 men, age 21- 80 years, we showed that the number of sperm with mutations increased in the oldest age groups among men who did not have a child with AS. These older men were also more likely to have both mutations in their sperm. However, this age-related increase in mutation frequency was not sufficient to explain the AS-birth frequency. In contrast, the mutation frequency observed in men who were younger and had children with AS was significantly greater. In addition, our data suggest selection for sperm with specific mutations. Therefore, contributing factors to the paternal-age effect may include selection and a higher number of mutant sperm in a subset of men ascertained because they had a child with AS. No age-related increase in the frequency of these mutations was observed in leukocytes. Selection and/or quality-control mechanisms, including DNA repair and apoptosis, may contribute to the cell-type differences in mutation frequency.

To study the formation of static domain walls in these systems we include a spatial gradient (Ginzburg) term of the scalar order parameter φ. From the variational derivative of the total free energy we obtain a static equilibrium condition. By solving this equation exactly for different physical parameters and boundary conditions, we obtained different quasi-one-dimensional soliton-like solutions. These solutions correspond to three different types of domain walls between the two different phases which are created in the system. In addition, we obtain soliton lattice (domain wall array solutions, calculate their formation energy and the asymptotic interaction between the solitons. By introducing certain transformations, we show that the solutions obtained here can be used to study domain walls in other physical systems such as described by asymmetric double Morse potentials. Finally, we apply our results to the specific cases of liquid crystals and the jam phenomena in traffic flows.

A variety of state-of-the-art scanning electron microscopy techniques, including environmental scanning electron microscopy and computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, were utilized for monitoring and quantifying phase transitions of individual particles, morphology, and compositional changes of individual particles as they react with nitric acid. Clear differences in reaction mechanisms were observed between SiO[SUB2], CaCO[SUB3], NaCl, and sea salt particles. SiO[SUB2] particles exposed to HNO[SUB3] showed no change, indicating that the reaction of SiO[SUB2] particles is limited to the particle surface and would not involve bulk atoms in its reactivity. Calcium carbonate was seen to convert to aqueous calcium nitrate droplets while sodium chloride formed micro crystallites of sodium nitrate on top of the particle. Sea salt particles showed morphology changes that could be described as a combination of these as both spherical droplets and micro crystallites were observed. This is consistent with the multicomponent composition of sea salt. Further differences were found in the reaction rates for sea salt and sodium chloride with nitric acid. Sea salt yielded a significant increase in reactivity when compared to the NaC1 particles under similar conditions. The reaction of nitric acid with calcium carbonate was found to be strongly enhanced at higher relative humidity.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 69 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 5884 EP - 5891 SN - 00992240 AB - The potential for removing uranium from contaminated groundwater by stimulating the in situ activity of dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganisms was evaluated in a uranium-contaminated aquifer located in Rifle, Colo. Acetate (1 to 3 mM) was injected into the subsurface over a 3-month period via an injection gallery composed of 20 injection wells, which was installed upgradient from a series of 15 monitoring wells. U(VI) concentrations decreased in as little as 9 days after acetate injection was initiated, and within 50 days uranium had declined below the prescribed treatment level of 0.18 µM in some of the monitoring wells. Analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences and phospholipid fatty acid profiles demonstrated that the initial loss of uranium from the groundwater was associated with an enrichment of Geobacter species in the treatment zone. Fe(II) in the groundwater also increased during this period, suggesting that U(VI) reduction was coincident with Fe(III) reduction. As the acetate injection continued over 50 days there was a loss of sulfate from the groundwater and an accumulation of sulfide and the composition of the microbial community changed. Organisms with 16S rDNA sequences most closely related to those of sulfate reducers became predominant, and Geobacter species became a minor component of the community. This apparent switch from Fe(III) reduction to sulfate reduction as the terminal electron accepting process for the oxidation of the injected acetate was associated with an increase in uranium concentration in the groundwater. These results demonstrate that in situ bioremediation of uranium-contaminated groundwater is feasible but suggest that the strategy should be optimized to better maintain long-term activity of Geobacter species.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 69 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 5992 EP - 5999 SN - 00992240 AB - Candida tropicalis ATCC 20336 can grow on fatty acids or alkanes as its sole source of carbon and energy, but strains blocked in β-oxidation convert these substrates to long-chain α,ω-dicarboxylic acids (diacids), compounds of potential commercial value (Picataggio et al., Biotechnology 10:894-898, 1992). The initial step in the formation of these diacids, which is thought to be rate limiting, is ω-hydroxylation by a cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase. C. tropicalis ATCC 20336 contains a family of CYP genes, and when ATCC 20336 or its derivatives are exposed to oleic acid (C[sup 18:1]), two cytochrome P450s, CYP52A13 and CYP52A17, are consistently strongly induced (Craft et al., this issue). To determine the relative activity of each of these enzymes and their contribution to diacid formation, both cytochrome P450s were expressed separately in insect cells in conjunction with the C. tropicalis cytochrome P450 reductase (NCP). Microsomes prepared from these cells were analyzed for their ability to oxidize fatty acids. CYP52A13 preferentially oxidized oleic acid and other unsaturated acids to ω-hydroxy acids. CYP52A17 also oxidized oleic acid efficiently but converted shorter, saturated fatty acids such as myristic acid (C[sub 14.0]) much more effectively. Both enzymes, in particular CYP52A17, also oxidized ω-hydroxy fatty acids, ultimately generating the α,ω-diacid. Consideration of these different specificities and selectivities will help determine which enzymes to amplify in strains blocked for β-oxidation to enhance the production of dicarboxylic acids. The activity spectrum also identified other potential oxidation targets for commercial development.

Dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase gene sequences (dsrAB) were PCR amplified and cloned from five different sampling sites, each at a discrete depth, from two different margin systems, one off the Pacific coast of Mexico and another off the coast of Washington State. A total of 1,762 clones were recovered and evaluated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The majority of the gene sequences recovered showed site and depth restricted distributions; however, a limited number of gene sequences were widely distributed within and between the margin systems. Cluster analysis identified 175 unique RFLP patterns, and nucleotide sequences were determined for corresponding clones. Several different continental margin DsrA sequences clustered with those from formally characterized taxa belonging to the delta subdivision of the class Proteobacteria (Desulfobulbus propionicus, Desulfosarcina variabilis) and the Bacillus-Clostridium (Desulfotomaculum putei) divisions, although the majority of the recovered sequences were phylogenetically divergent relative to all of the other DsrA sequences available for comparison. This study revealed extensive new genetic diversity among sulfate-reducing bacteria in continental margin sedimentary habitats, which appears to be tightly coupled to slope depth, specifically carbon bioavailability.

One of the integrals applies to the work of disproportionation of tetravalent plutonium in 1 M acid and the other to the work of oxidation of plutonium from the trivalent to a higher oxidation state. This paper generalizes the disproportionation work integral so that it can be applied to tetravalent plutonium at any acid concentration.

Both single- and double-interfacial mutant aldolases have a destabilized quaternary structure, but there is little effect on the catalytic activity. These enzymes are however thermolabile. This study demonstrates the temperature-dependent dissociation of the mutant enzymes and determines the dissociation free energies of both mutant and native aldolase. Subunit dissociation is measured by sedimentation equilibrium in the analytical ultracentrifuge. At 25°C the tetramer-dimer dissociation constants for each single-mutant enzyme are similar, about 10[sup-6] M. For the double-mutant enzyme, sedimentation velocity experiments on sucrose density gradients support a tetramer-monomer equilibrium. Furthermore, sedimentation equilibrium experiments determined a dissociation constant of 10[sup-15] M³ for the double-mutant enzyme. By the same methods the upper limit for the dissociation constant of wild-type aldolase A is approximately 10[sup-28] M³, which indicates an extremely stable tetramer. The thermodynamic values describing monomer-tetramer and dimer-tetramer equilibria are analyzed with regard to possible cooperative interaction between the two subunit interfaces.

In the US, the Herbaceous Energy Crops Research Program (HECP), funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), was established in 1984. After evaluating 35 potential herbaceous crops of which 18 were perennial grasses it was concluded that switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) was the native perennial grass which showed the greatest potential. In 1991, the DOE''s Bioenergy Feedstock Development Program (BFDP), which evolved from the HECP, decided to focus research on a “model” crop system and to concentrate research resources on switchgrass, in order to rapidly attain its maximal output as a biomass crop. In Europe, about 20 perennial grasses have been tested and four perennial rhizomatous grasses (PRG), namely miscanthus (Miscanthus spp.), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), giant reed (Arundo donax) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) were chosen for more extensive research programs. Reed canarygrass and giant reed are grasses with the C3 photosynthetic pathway, and are native to Europe. Miscanthus, which originated in Southeast Asia, and switchgrass, native to North America, are both C4 grasses. These four grasses differ in their ecological/climatic demands, their yield potentials, biomass characteristics and crop management requirements. Efficient production of bioenergy from such perennial grasses requires the choice of the most appropriate grass species for the given ecological/climatic conditions. In temperate and warm regions, C4 grasses outyield C3 grasses due to their more efficient photosynthetic pathway. However, the further north perennial grasses are planted, the more likely cool season grasses are to yield more than warm season grasses. Low winter temperatures and short vegetation periods are major limits to the growth of C4 grasses in northern Europe. With increasing temperatures towards central and southern Europe, the productivity of C4 grasses and therefore their biomass yields and competitiveness increase.Since breeding of and research on perennial rhizomatous grasses (PRG) is comparatively recent, there is still a significant need for further development. Some of the given limitations, like insufficient biomass quality or the need for adaption to certain ecological/climatic zones, may be overcome by breeding varieties especially for biomass production. Furthermore, sure and cost-effective establishment methods for some of the grasses, and effective crop production and harvest methods, have yet to be developed.This review summarizes the experience with selecting perennial grasses for bioenergy production in both the US and Europe, and gives an overview of the characteristics and requirements of the four most investigated perennial rhizomatous grasses; switchgrass, miscanthus, reed canarygrass and giant reed.

Furthermore, although the anisotropy of mechanical properties of dentin with respect to orientation has been suggested in the literature, accurate measurements to support the effect of orientation on the fracture toughness of dentin are not available. To address these issues, the in vitro fracture toughness of dentin, extracted from elephant tusk, has been characterized using fatigue-precracked compact-tension specimens tested in Hank''s balanced salt solution at ambient temperature, with fracture paths perpendicular and parallel to the tubule orientations (and orientations in between) specifically being evaluated. It was found that the fracture toughness was lower where cracking occurred in the plane of the collagen fibers, as compared to crack paths perpendicular to the fibers. The origins of this effect on the toughness of dentin are discussed primarily in terms of the salient toughening mechanisms active in this material; specifically, the role of crack bridging, both from uncracked ligaments and by individual collagen fibrils, is considered. Estimates for the contributions from each of these mechanisms are provided from theoretical models available in the literature.

For 27-mer proteins, the folding behavior varies appreciably with the choice of interaction parameters. We now perform similar simulations with 64-mers to study the size dependence of the optimal energy parameter set for representing realistic behavior typical of many real proteins (i.e. fast folding and high cooperativity for single chains). We find that 64-mers are considerably more stable and more cooperative compared to 27-mers. The optimal interfacial-interaction-energy parameter set, however, is relatively size independent.

Shear horizontal (SH) wave devices consisting of (a) a LiTaO3 substrate operating at 104 MHz, (b) a quartz substrate operating at 108 MHz and (c) a quartz substrate operating at 155 MHz were coated with a photoresist polymer layer in order to produce acoustic waveguide devices supporting a Love wave. The effect of the thickness of the polymer layer on the Love wave was assessed by measuring the amplitude and phase of the wave before and after coating. The sensitivity of the above three biosensors was compared during the detection of the specific binding of different concentrations of Immunoglobulin G in the range of 0.7–667 nM to a protein A modified surface. Results indicate that the thickness of the polymer guiding layer is critical for obtaining the maximum sensitivity for a given geometry but a trade-off has to be made between the theoretically determined optimum thickness for waveguiding and the device insertion loss. It was also found that increasing the frequency of operation results in a further increase in the device sensitivity to protein detection.

These simulations have used a geometrically linear (linear kinematic) approximation to the total stiffness matrix; nonlinear terms in the total stiffness matrix have been excluded from the computation in order to achieve efficiency. Because trabecular bone appears to be a slender (i.e., geometrically nonlinear) structure, we studied the validity of the linear kinematic approximation for simulating its failure. Two cases, designed to bracket the extremes of stability behavior, were explored: a single representative spicule of trabecular bone (case 1) and a volume of trabecular bone consisting of relatively low aspect ratio members (case 2). For case 1, geometrically linear (GL) and nonlinear (GNL) analyses were performed with two different materials models: a plastic damage model and a brittle damage model. When GNL terms were included in the total stiffness matrix, we found that load-path bifurcation preceded tissue failure regardless of the form of the damage model. This bifurcation was the result of a complex coupling between material yield and structural instability. The nature of this coupling was highly sensitive to the form of the damage model. None of these behaviors was observed in the linear analyses, where failure was insensitive to the form of the damage model and where structural instabilities were prevented from occurring. For case 2, compressive loading of a volume of trabecular bone, geometric nonlinear effects were pronounced. There was a bifurcation in load response that resulted in large apparent strain to failure. The GL simulations, on the other hand, precluded this bifurcation. We hypothesize that trabecular bone is a geometric nonlinear structure; nonlinear terms must be included in the total stiffness matrix to accurately simulate its failure.

Using ovariectomized cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) as a model for the menopausal onset of osteoporosis, we examined the microscopic chemical changes of bone measured by synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy as a function of time after ovariectomy. The results demonstrate that cortical bone formed 1 or 2 years after ovariectomy, as identified by fluorochrome labeling, has a higher phosphate content (PO43−/matrix ratio), a lower carbonate content (CO32−/matrix ratio), and more mature collagen cross-links (nonreducible cross-link/reducible cross-link ratio) than that formed in sham-operated controls. Trabecular bone after ovariectomy shows no changes in phosphate content, a lower carbonate content, and immature collagen cross-linking. Treatment with a bone turnover suppressor, (nandrolone decanoate) reverses most of the ovariectomy-induced chemical changes in the cortical bone to the levels of the ovary-intact controls, but has little effect on the trabecular bone. These results demonstrate that bone newly synthesized after ovariectomy is chemically different from healthy bone within specific bone regions, which may contribute to reduced bone quality in osteoporosis.

The formations are areas of loose microstructure with aspect ratios of 6–10, which appear perpendicular to the direction of cooling in the specimen. After sublimation of the water in the specimens during the imaging process, these formations collapse, indicating that ice is instrumental to their structure. These formations coincide with longitudinal cracks in the specimen, which do not appear to be due to specimen preparation and are consistent with an internal tensile strain. The authors have hypothesized that ice lens formation and frost heave, or a similar freezing mechanism, is responsible for these microstructural features, which are seen in 10-h specimens and are absent in all other cement paste specimens. Triaxial permeability tests have also shown that the cement paste mix used in this study has a permeability at 10-h age of ∼10−6 cm/s. This permeability is similar to that of silty soil, some of the most susceptible to frost heave.

T1 - Assessment of a synchrotron X-ray method for quantitative analysis of calcium hydroxide JO - Cement & Concrete Research JF - Cement & Concrete Research Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 33 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1553 SN - 00088846 AB - Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) are widely used to determine the calcium hydroxide (CH) content in cementitious systems containing blends of Portland cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, silica fume and other pozzolanic and hydraulic materials. These techniques, however, are destructive to cement samples and subject to various forms of error. While precise weight losses can be measured by TGA, extracting information from samples with multiple overlapping thermal events is difficult. And, however, while QXRD can offer easier deconvolution, the accuracy for components below about 5 wt.% is typically poor when a laboratory X-ray source is used. Furthermore, the destructive nature of both techniques prevents using them to study the in situ hydration of a single contiguous sample for kinetic analysis. In an attempt to overcome these problems, the present research evaluated the use of synchrotron X-rays for quantitative analysis of CH.A synchrotron X-ray source was used to develop calibration data for quantification of the amount of CH in mixtures with fly ash. These data were compared to conventional laboratory XRD data for like samples. While both methods were found to offer good quantification, synchrotron XRD (SXRD) provided a broader range of detectability and higher accuracy than laboratory diffraction and removed the subjectivity as compared to TGA analysis. Further, the sealed glass capillaries used with the synchrotron source provided a nondestructive closed, in situ environment for tracking hydrating specimens from zero to any desired age.

The behavior of a fluidized bed is modeled using a “two-fluid” theory, which involves conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species equations for the two interpenetrating continua. These equations are solved using a numerical algorithm that employs a conservative discretization scheme with mixed implicit and explicit formulations. We conducted simulations of gas–solid interaction in a narrow (two-dimensional) bed filled with sand particles which was uniformly fluidized at minimum fluidization but with additional air flow through a central nozzle. Aided by the proper orthogonal decomposition, spatial dominant features are identified and separated from the spatio-temporal dynamics of the simulations. The most dynamic region of the gas–solid interaction is confined to the central channel caused by the jet. The flow within this structure is successfully captured by a few POD eigenfunctions. Phase-space plots further indicate the existence of low-dimensional dynamics within the central channel. This conclusion supports the validity of a reduced-order model for fluidized beds, which can then be constructed by projecting the governing equations onto the POD modes, as it is commonly done in the Galerkin method.

One clinical finding, rapid recovery of proximal muscle relative to distal muscle use following stroke, has led to the suggestion that the ipsilateral as well as the contralateral motor cortex may be involved in normal proximal muscle control. The primary goal of this project was to identify contralateral and ipsilateral motor cortex activation associated with proximal muscle movement in normal subjects using magnetoencephalography (MEG).Methods: We developed protocols for a self-paced bicep motor task and a deltoid, electrical-stimulation somatosensory task. The MEG data were analyzed using automated multi-dipole spatiotemporal modeling techniques to localize the sources and characterize the associated timing of these sources.Results: Reliable contralateral primary motor and somatosensory sources localized to areas consistent with the homunculus. Ipsilateral M1 activation was only found in 2/12 hemispheres.Conclusions: Robust contralateral motor cortex activation and sparse ipsilateral motor cortex activation suggest that the ipsilateral motor cortex is not involved in normal proximal muscle control.Significance: The results suggest that proximal and distal muscle control is similar in normal subjects in the sense that proximal muscle control is primarily governed by the contralateral motor cortex.

However, legacy nuclear systems are not optimally configured for the new and emerging contingencies of this environment. A common thread likely to run through the desirable characteristics of most future systems is reduced collateral damage (RCD). Improved accuracy enables lower yield weapons to accomplish the missions once allocated to higher yield legacy warheads, with correspondingly reduced collateral effects. Lower yield, earth-penetrating weapons and other new or modified RCD weapons can play a critical role, in conjunction with the other capabilities of the New Triad, in achieving U.S. defense objectives of deterrence, dissuasion and assurance. As the United States implements the Nuclear Posture Review, it is important to assess such capabilities in the context of U.S. defense strategy and to be in a position to develop and deploy them--if required--within the much smaller nuclear force towards which the United States is moving.

Results from the program have played a significant role in determining the geometry of the universe, given strong supporting evidence to inflation, and, in combination with other astrophysical data, showed that the universe is filled with dark matter and energy. We present a subset of the internal consistency checks that were carried out on the MAXIMA-1 data prior to their release, which demonstrate that systematics errors were much smaller than statistical errors. We also discuss the MAXIMA-2 flight and data, compare the maps of MAXIMA-1 and -2 in areas where they overlap and show that the two independent experiments confirm each other. All of these results demonstrate that MAXIMA mapped the cosmic microwave background anisotropy with high accuracy. To cite this article: R. Stompor et al., C. R. Physique 4 (2003).

Grain boundaries evolve by mean curvature motion, and Grain3D allows for the incorporation of grain boundary orientation dependence modeled as anisotropic mobility and energy. We also describe the process of generating an initial computational grid from images obtained from electron backscatter diffraction. We present the grid optimization operations developed to respond to changes in the physical topology such as the collapse of grains and to maintain uniform computational grid quality. For 3-D columnar microstructures, validation of the method is demonstrated by comparison with experiments. For large systems of fully 3-D microstructures, simulations compare favorably to the parabolic law of normal grain growth.

We combine electronic-structure calculations with molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations to predict the structure of self-assembled molecular monolayers on a metal surface. We also develop a novel insight into molecular conductance, with a particular resolution of its fundamental channels, which stresses the importance of a complete molecular structure description of all components of the system, including the leads, the molecule, and their contacts. Both molecular dynamics and electron transport simulations imply that knowledge of detailed molecular structure and system geometry are critical for successful comparison with carefully performed experiments. We illustrate our findings with benzenedithiolate molecules in contact with gold.

In the proposed system, HTS pancake windings are immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath where the liquid is cooled simply by colder copper sheets vertically extended from the coldhead of a cryocooler. Liquid nitrogen in the gap between the windings and the copper sheets develops a circulating flow by buoyancy force in subcooled state. The heat transfer coefficient for natural convection is estimated from the existing engineering correlations, and then the axial temperature distributions are calculated analytically and numerically with taking into account the distributed AC loss in the windings and the thermal radiation on the walls of liquid-vessel. The calculation results show that the warm end of the HTS windings can be maintained at only 2–3 K above the freezing temperature of nitrogen, with acceptable values for the height of HTS windings and the thickness of copper sheets. It is concluded that the cooling by natural convection of subcooled liquid nitrogen can be an excellent option for compactness, efficiency, and reliability of HTS transformers.

The method of charge-based deep level transient spectroscopy (Q-DLTS) was applied to obtain information on the concentration, activation energy and capture cross-section of native and nitrogen-induced defects. A common feature in Q-DLTS spectra of undoped films was the presence of a deep level with the activation energy of 0.13–0.22 eV. The Q-DLTS spectra of nitrogen-doped films, however, exhibited a shallow level peak with the activation energy of approximately 0.05 eV. The density of the shallow defects was found to increase with increasing concentration of incorporated nitrogen. The photoelectrical properties of the films were also studied. The kinetics of photoresponse to a high intensity light pulse (in open circuit condition at zero bias) was measured. These photoresponse data were obtained at saturation conditions and were used for designing the energy band diagram for the p-Si/UNCD film/metal and n-Si/UNCD film/metal heterostructures studied.

Relevant aerodynamic and drying characteristics of alfalfa leaves and stems, important in the design and functional performance evaluation of appropriate drying and separation systems, are presented. General features and design parameters of rotary drum dryers are discussed. A new efficient approach to combined drying and separation in a rotary drum dryer is described in which fresh or pre-wilted alfalfa mixture is dried at a moderate temperature, and in the same operation the dry leaf fraction is aerodynamically separated from the stem fraction. Preliminary test data obtained from the dryer indicated that the separated product stream had comparatively high leaf purity, confirming the feasibility of the new approach.

Here we compare wind erosion and transport field measurements with water erosion and transport from rainfall-simulation for three different semi-arid ecosystems: a shrubland near Carlsbad, New Mexico; a grassland near Denver, Colorado; and a forest near Los Alamos, New Mexico. In addition to comparing erosion loss from an area, we propose a framework for comparing horizontal mass transport of wind- and water-driven materials as a metric for local soil redistribution. Median erosion rates from wind for vertical mass flux measurements (g m-2 d-1) were 1·5 × 10-2 for the shrubland, 8·3 × 10-3 for the grassland, and 9·1 × 10-3 for the forest. Wind-driven transport from horizontal mass flux measurements was greatest in the shrubland (15·0 g m-2 d-1) followed by the grassland (1·5 g m-2 d-1) and the forest sites (0·17 g m-2 d-1). Annual projections accounting for longer-term site meteorology suggest that wind erosion exceeds water erosion at the shrubland by c. 33 times and by c. five times at the forest, but not the grassland site, where the high clay content of the soils contributed to greater amounts of water erosion: water erosion exceeded wind erosion by about three times. Horizontal transport by wind was greater than that by water for all three systems, overwhelmingly so in the shrubland (factor of c. 2200). Our results, which include some of the only wind erosion measurements to date for semi-arid grasslands and forests, provide a basis for hypothesizing trends in wind and water erosion among ecosystems, highlight the importance of wind erosion and transport in semi-arid ecosystems, and have implications for land surface geomorphology, contaminant transport, and ecosystem biogeochemistry.

JO - Ecotoxicology JF - Ecotoxicology Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 12 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 427 EP - 437 SN - 09639292 AB - Lithium (Li) is the lightest metal and occurs primarily in stable minerals and salts. Concentrations of Li in surface water are typically <0.04 mg l−1 but can be elevated in contaminated streams. Because of the general lack of information concerning the toxicity of Li to common toxicity test organisms, we evaluated the toxicity of Li to Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow), Ceriodaphnia dubia, and a freshwater snail (Elimia clavaeformis). In the laboratory, the concentration of Li that inhibited P. promelas growth or C. dubia reproduction by 25% (IC25) was dependant upon the dilution water. In laboratory control water containing little sodium (~2.8 mg l−1), the IC25s were 0.38 and 0.32 mg Li l−1 and in ambient stream water containing ~17 mg Na l−1, the IC25s were 1.99 and 3.33, respectively. A Li concentration of 0.15 mg l−1 inhibited the feeding of E. clavaeformis in laboratory tests. Toxicity tests conducted to evaluate the effect of sodium on the toxicity of Li were conducted with fathead minnows and C. dubia. The presence of sodium greatly affected the toxicity of Li. Fathead minnows and Ceriodaphnia, for example, tolerated concentrations of Li as great as 6 mg l−1 when sufficient Na was present. The interaction of Li and Na on the reproduction of Ceriodaphnia was investigated in depth and can be described using an exponential model. The model predicts that C. dubia reproduction would not be affected when animals are exposed to combinations of lithium and sodium with a log ratio of mmol Na to mmol Li equal to at least 1.63. The results of this study indicate that for most natural waters, the presence of sodium is sufficient to prevent Li toxicity. However, in areas of historical disposal or heavy processing or use, an evaluation of Li from a water quality perspective would be warranted.

The United States produces many lithium materials and consumes the greatest amount of Li in the world for use in ceramics, glass, aluminum, pharmaceuticals, batteries, etc. From 1950 to 1970, Li was central to many nuclear-related US Department of Energy (DOE) activities. The historical and current use of Li has not prompted many studies of the toxicity of this element to aquatic organisms. Here, we review the distribution and use of Li in the US with emphasis on usage by DOE. We also summarize information on the toxicity of lithium to aquatic biota. A case-example is provided which demonstrates the potential for contamination of groundwater with Li, evaluates the toxicity of the Li-contaminated groundwater, and identifies a treatment alternative.

JO - EMBO Journal JF - EMBO Journal Y1 - 2003/10//10/1/2003 VL - 22 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 4877 EP - 4887 SN - 02614189 AB - Productive cis folding by the chaperonin GroEL is triggered by the binding of ATP but not ADP, along with cochaperonin GroES, to the same ring as nonnative polypeptide, ejecting polypeptide into an encapsulated hydrophilic chamber. We examined the specific contribution of the γ-phosphate of ATP to this activation process using complexes of ADP and aluminium or beryllium fluoride. These ATP analogues supported productive cis folding of the substrate protein, rhodanese, even when added to already-formed, folding-inactive cis ADP ternary complexes, essentially introducing the γ-phosphate of ATP in an independent step. Aluminium fluoride was observed to stabilize the association of GroES with GroEL, with a substantial release of free energy (-46 kcal/mol). To understand the basis of such activation and stabilization, a crystal structure of GroEL-GroES-ADP·AlF3 was determined at 2.8 Å . A trigonal AlF3 metal complex was observed in the γ-phosphate position of the nucleotide pocket of the cis ring. Surprisingly, when this structure was compared with that of the previously determined GroEL-GroES-ADP complex, no other differences were observed. We discuss the likely basis of the ability of γ-phosphate binding to convert preformed GroEL-GroES-ADP-polypeptide complexes into the folding-active state.

T1 - Integrated collaborative technology development program for CO2 sequestration in geologic formations––United States Department of Energy R&D JO - Energy Conversion & Management JF - Energy Conversion & Management Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 44 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 2699 SN - 01968904 AB - A major contributor to increased atmospheric CO2 levels is fossil fuel combustion. Roughly one third of the carbon emissions in the United States comes from power plants. Since electric generation is expected to grow and fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant fuel source, there is growing recognition that the energy industry can be part of the solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and permanently sequestering CO2. Consequently, an important component of the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) research and development program is dedicated to reducing CO2 emissions from power plants by developing technologies for capturing CO2 and for subsequent utilization and/or sequestration.Injection of CO2 into geologic formations is being practiced today by the petroleum industry for enhanced oil recovery, but it is not yet possible to predict with confidence storage volumes, formation integrity and permanence over long time periods. Many important issues dealing with geologic storage, monitoring and verification of fluids (including CO2) in underground oil and gas reservoirs, coal beds and saline formations must be addressed. Field demonstrations are needed to confirm practical considerations, such as economics, safety, stability, permanence and public acceptance.This paper presents an overview of DOE’s research program in the area of CO2 sequestration and storage in geologic formations and specifically addresses the status of new knowledge, improved tools and enhanced technology for cost optimization, monitoring, modeling and capacity estimation. This paper also highlights those fundamental and applied studies, including field tests, sponsored by DOE that are measuring the degree to which CO2 can be injected and remain safely and permanently sequestered in geologic formations while concurrently assuring no adverse long term ecological impacts.

Our method of total station mapping enables recognition of secondary faults, with as little as 30 cm of vertical displacement that are not exposed at the surface, have no topographic expression, and would otherwise likely go unnoticed. It has been applied to preclude the presence of faulting in large areas (several km2) of proposed and existing critical facilities at LANL. The method involves surveying of points on geologic features, and detailed computer-aided and field analyses of anomalies in the elevations of surveyed points. We examine vertical anomalies in elevations that are the result of dominantly normal and reverse faulting; however, the method could also be applied to strike-slip faulting. Surveying of geologic contacts allows for easy integration of geologic data into a Geographical Information System (GIS) and detailed 3D analysis of small-scale structures. Field data are analyzed in profiles, 3D surface diagrams, and maps that are constructed with a variety of commercially available software packages. We apply the method to delineate volcanic map-unit boundaries in the 1.2-million-year-old Tshirege Member of the Bandelier Tuff to characterize portions of the Pajarito fault system. The ability of this method to identify faults with very small displacements that otherwise might be unrecognizable allows for discrimination of varying styles of deformation, decreases in displacement along strike through splaying into many smaller faults, monoclinal flexures, and cross structures between faults.

JO - Environmental Science & Policy JF - Environmental Science & Policy Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 6 IS - 5 M3 - Editorial SP - 457 SN - 14629011 AB - Current global change policy debate reverberates around the polarized extremes of civilization-level cooperation through treaties as a mitigation tactic, on the one hand, and a wait-and-see approach that may lead to a climatic tragedy of the commons, on the other. Meanwhile, energy technology research is rapidly generating a perception that it will be possible to tune the earth system via carbon sequestration and other types of biogeochemical engineering. The consequences of this potential for planetary management, based on provincial self-interest, include the transition of the earth sciences into a security industry involving proprietary scientific knowledge bases of biogeochemical cycling and the evolution of a climate-design brokerage dominated by military/industrial interests.As the dominant political powers perceive the potential for planetary engineering and consider implementation, the global economy will adjust to exploit new opportunities, perceptions of which will be determined by the quality of system simulations. The growth of a viable international climate-design community will profoundly influence the trajectory of the earth system by providing either the illusion or the reality of predictability. Although this process will be chaotic at first, the probability of stabilization will ultimately be enhanced because the vast resources of the military/industrial sector will become involved. These concepts are disturbingly familiar in that they acknowledge the pervasion of competition and conflict in human technological affairs. However, they are consistent with approaches used in thermodynamics, ecological energetics, behavioral evolution, economics, and interdisciplinary climate science to describe collectively the evolution of the earth system.This paper argues that the perception that the climate can be regulated inexpensively will create an economic driving force for international cartel-style management of the total earth system. That is, the earth system may well become syndicated by those with the resources to effect large-scale management.

Both tritium ([sup3]H) and carbon-H ([sup14]C) from the wood were measured from milligram samples using accelerator mass spectrometry. Because the annual nature of the eucalyptus tree rings was in doubt, [sup14]C measurements provided growth rates used to estimate the age for [sup3]H determinations. A 30-yr comparison of organically bound tritium (OBT) levels to reported [sup3]H release data is achieved using OBT measurements from three trees near the stack. The annual average [sup3]H, determined from atmospheric water vapor monitoring stations, is comparable to the OBT in proximal trees. For situations without adequate historical monitoring data, this measurement-based historical assessment provides the only independent means of assessing exposure as compared to fate and transport models that require prior knowledge of environmental conditions and [sup3]H discharge patterns.

T1 - Application of Multiple Sublethal Stress Indicators to Assess the Health of Fish in Pamlico Sound Following Extensive flooding. JO - Estuaries JF - Estuaries Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 26 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1365 EP - 1382 SN - 01608347 AB - Multiple indicators of sublethal stress (bioindicators) were used to assess the health and condition of two important estuarine fish species in the Pamlico Sound estuary following extensive flooding from three sequential hurricanes that occurred during early fall 1999. Bioindicators ranging from the biochemical to the reproductive and organism-level were used to assess the health of southern flounder and spot in Pamlico Sound compared to the health of these same species sampled from a relatively unaffected reference site in lower Core Sound. Many of the physiological, reproductive, immunological, histopathological, and general condition indices suggested that both species, and particularly spot, in Pamlico Sound were sublethally stressed and in poorer condition than fish sampled from Core Sound. The major environmental stressors causing these sublethal stress responses in Pamlico Sound fish appears to be those related to episodic hypoxic exposure or a combination of effects associated with hypoxic conditions such as alterations in preferred habitat and food availability. Although fish populations in Pamlico Sound do not appear to be severely damaged or impaired at this time, organisms that are sublethally stressed can incur increased vulnerability to additional or future stressors such as modified physicochemical regimes, changes in food and habitat availability, and increases in infections pathogens. Because of the low flushing rate (∼ 1 yr) of Pamlico Sound, recovery rate may be exceptionally slow, prolonging any adverse effects of altered nutrient regimes (such as hypoxia) on the health and fitness of resident fish populations. Flooding from the 1999 hurricanes may have contributed to the short-term health and condition of finfish species in Pamlico Sound and also influenced longer-term recovery and ecological status of this system. Longer-term manifestation of effects from flooding may be of particular concern as the frequency of hurricanes is expected to increase over the next few years and the accelerated uses of the coastal zone places further stress on estuarine resources.

In this study, NOM was found to chemically reduce Cr(VI) at pH 3, but the reduction rates were negligible at pH ∼7. The abiotic reduction of U(VI) by NOM was not observed, possibly because of the presence of small amounts of nitrate in the reactant solution. However, all NOM fractions, particularly the soil humic acid (HA), enhanced the bioreduction of Cr(VI) or U(VI) in the presence of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32. The reduction rates varied greatly among NOM fractions with different chemical and structural properties: the polyphenolic-rich NOM-PP fraction appeared to be the most reactive in abiotically reducing Cr(VI) at a low pH, but soil HA was more effective in mediating the microbial reduction of Cr(VI) and U(VI) under anaerobic, circumneutral pH conditions. These observations are attributed to an increased solubility and conformational changes of the soil HA with pH and, more importantly, its relatively high contents of polycondensed and conjugated aromatic organic moieties. An important implication of this study is that, depending on chemical and structural properties, different NOM components may play different roles in enhancing the bioreduction of Cr(VI) and U(VI) by microorganisms. Polycondensed aromatic humic materials may be particularly useful in mediating the bioreduction and rapid immobilization of these contaminant metals in soil.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 85 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 409 EP - 419 SN - 00179078 AB - Human teeth have been considered as dosimeters for decades. Methods include the in vivo measurement of [sup 90]Sr/[sup 90]Y in teeth with a tooth-beta counter, the radiochemical determination of [sup 90]Sr in whole teeth, and the measurement of dose in teeth by use of electron paramagnetic resonance. Presented in this paper are results of 2,514 tooth-beta counter measurements, 334 radiochemical measurements, and 218 electron paramagnetic resonance measurements for residents living in settlements along the Techa River. All three kinds of measurements indicate a sharp peak that corresponds to the uptake of [sup 90]Sr by tooth tissue. The results can be interpreted in terms of an intake function for [sup 90]Sr only if the period of calcification of each individual tooth is considered—such detail on a tooth-by-tooth basis is presented in this paper. The conclusion is reached that the tooth-beta counter data are the most reliable in terms of reconstruction of [sup 90]Sr intake; this is due in part to the fact that the tooth-beta counter measures four teeth (all at position 1) with essentially the same time periods of mineralization and because there are a large number of tooth-beta counter measurements. The main utility of electron paramagnetic resonance measurements is considered to be the validation of estimates of external dose; but for this purpose teeth with [sup 90]Sr taken up into enamel must be avoided.

The electrokinetic behaviour of the bacterial cells was investigated and the cell surface groups were characterized by diffuse reflectance FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopies. The surface charge on the iron-grown cells (i.e.p., pH 2.0) is different from that on the solid-substrate-grown cells (i.e.p., pH 3.0–3.5) and the surface charge depends on the growth history of the bacteria. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra revealed a higher amount of protein content on the surface of the sulfur- and pyrite-grown cells compared to the iron-grown cells. These results suggest that the altered surface charge on the cells is due to differences in the protein content synthesized by bacteria exposed to different growth conditions.

For T⩽40 K, the peak detection wavelength switches from 7.2 μm under positive bias to 8.6 μm under large negative bias as electrons are transferred from the right QW (RQW) to the left QW (LQW). For T⩾50 K, the short wavelength peak is not only present for both bias polarities but also increases rapidly with T while the long wavelength peak decreases rapidly with T. We investigate this temperature dependence by extracting absorption coefficient α and photoconductive gain g using corrugated QWIPs with different corrugation periods. The deduced absorption spectra indicate that the LQW population first increases and then decreases with increasing negative bias for T⩾50 K. The deduced gain spectra show that short and long wavelength gain under negative bias exhibit a strong enhancement and reduction, respectively, with T above 50 K. We show that both these temperature dependences are caused by large thermal currents from the LQWs, which are designed for long wavelength detection and, therefore, have a significantly lower activation energy than the RQWs.

An examination of systems issues in this paper indicates that the infrastructure of H2 consumption is now compatible with the production of H2 by nuclear reactors. Alternative H2 production processes were examined to define the requirements such processes would impose on the nuclear reactor. These requirements include supplying heat at a near-constant high temperature, providing a low-pressure interface with the H2 production processes, isolating the nuclear plant from the chemical plant, and avoiding tritium contamination of the H2 product. A reactor concept—the advanced high-temperature reactor—was developed to match these requirements for H2 production.

The burner configuration consisted of a centerbody with an annular, premixed methane/air jet introduced through five, 45° swirl vanes. Flame stability was studied over a range of operating conditions. Under fuel-rich conditions the flame was lifted from the burner surface due to the mixing with entrained ambient air that was needed to form a flammable mixture. As the fuel/air mixture ratio was decreased toward stoichiometric, the resulting increase in flame speed allowed the flame to propagate upstream through the low-velocity wake region and attach to the centerbody face. The maximum blowout velocity occurred at stoichiometric conditions, and decreased as the mixture became leaner. OH PLIF measurements were used to study the behavior of OH mole fraction as the lean stability limit was approached. Near the lean stability limit the overall OH mole fraction decreased, the flame decreased in size and the high OH region took on a more shredded appearance. The addition of up to 20% hydrogen to the methane/air mixture resulted in a significant increase in the OH concentration and extended the lean stability limits of the burner.

JO - International Journal of Hygiene & Environmental Health JF - International Journal of Hygiene & Environmental Health Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 206 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 553 SN - 14384639 AB - Environmental transmission of cryptosporidiosis has occurred repeatedly in defined spatial areas during outbreaks of disease attributed, for example, to drinking water contamination. Little work has been done to investigate the possibility of cryptosporidiosis infection in defined spatial areas in non-outbreak (i.e., endemic) settings. This study applies a novel approach to the investigation of the spatial distribution of cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients in San Francisco. Density equalizing map projection (DEMP) maps were created for nine race/ethnicity-age groups of AIDS patients based on census tract of residence. Additionally, census tracts with a "high density" of cryptosporidiosis cases were identified by applying smoothing techniques to the DEMP maps, and included as a covariate in multivariate Poisson regression analyses of other known risk factors for cryptosporidiosis. These analyses suggest: (1) cases of cryptosporidiosis among Black and Hispanic AIDS patients, but not among Whites, show a statistically significant non-random spatial distribution (p<0.05) even after adjustment for the underlying spatial distribution of AIDS patients for these demographic groups, and (2) the risk of residence in these high density census tracts, adjusted for other known risk factors, was not statistically significant (relative risk=1.27, 95% confidence interval 0.15, 10.53). These results do not support an independent effect of spatial distribution on the transmission of cryptosporidiosis among AIDS patients.

In this paper, the vibrations of a spherical containment vessel undergoing elastic response are investigated. Vibration modes of containment vessels are of particular interest, as it is the superposition and interaction of different modes of response with closely spaced frequencies (beating) that has been reported to be the mechanism of ‘strain growth’. The modal frequencies of a complete spherical shell for both axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric response modes are discussed, based on a sequence of papers that have appeared in the open literature. Analytical predictions are then compared with finite element numerical simulations. It is found that the numerical simulations accurately predict both the axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric modal frequencies for the complete spherical shell. Next, numerical simulations of modal frequencies for the more complex spherical containment vessel (with nozzles) are compared with the spherical shell results. These simulations for the spherical containment vessel reveal that frequencies are similar to the complete spherical shell, although a splitting of the degenerate frequencies (associated with nonaxisymmetric modes) occurs when progressing from a perfect spherical shell to the containment vessel. As a result, the vibrational response of the spherical containment vessel can be interpreted as a perturbation on the response of a perfect spherical shell. Limited comparisons with experimentally recorded frequencies for participating modes of vessel dynamic response during high explosive containment testing are presented as well. Participating modes potentially capable of beating together to produce ‘strain growth’ are isolated and are found to agree within 4 percent with frequencies determined from beating frequency measurements.

The method is more general, but I concentrate on Hubbard type models where the fermions hop between a small number of connected sites. I use the natural mapping of fermion occupation numbers onto computer bits. Signs from fermion interchange are reduced to bit counting. The technique inherently requires computer resources growing exponentially with the system volume; so, it restricted to modestly small systems. Large volume results would require combining these techniques with further approximations, perhaps in a recursive renormalization group manner.

Materials and methods : Cerebral RNA was isolated at 30 min and 4 h after whole-body irradiation at 0.1 or 2 Gy, hybridized to random oligonucleotide arrays, and evaluated for time and dose-response patterns by multifactorial analyses. Results : Brain irradiation modulated the expression patterns of 1574 genes, of which 855 showed more than 1.5-fold variation. about 30% of genes showed dose-dependent variations, including genes exclusively affected by 0.1 Gy. About 60% of genes showed time-dependent variation with more genes affected at 30 min than at 4 h. Early changes involved signal transduction, ion regulation and synaptic signalling. Later changes involved metabolic functions including myelin and protein synthesis. Low-dose radiation also modulated the expression of genes involved in stress response, cell-cycle control and DNA synthesis/repair. Conclusions : Doses of 0.1 Gy induced changes in gene expression that were qualitatively different from those at 2 Gy. The findings suggest that low-dose irradiation of the brain induces the expression of genes involved in protective and reparative functions, while down-modulating genes involved in neural signalling activity.

The interface between the two materials was investigated using knife peeling, immersion in a solvent which removes amorphous material predominantly, stud pull tests to observe bond failure, and X-ray scattering studies. There were three regions at the interface: an unbonded bare zinc phosphated surface, solid polyurethane areas where foaming did not occur, and foamed regions. These various interfacial regions result from temperature gradients during polymerization and foaming, and poor wetting of the substrate by the polymer. After immersion in a solvent, the solid polyurethane layer bonded to the substrate was completely removed, implying that this area only weakly adheres to the steel substrate. By contrast, the removal of the foamed area exhibited a well-ordered crystalline phase underneath polymer residues. In grazing angle X-ray scattering from the foamed region, a sharp peak from polyurethane crystallites was found on the shoulder of the amorphous peak; this reflection did not appear in the scans for unfoamed solid polymer areas. It is suggested that a greater number of these crystallites results in higher bond strength. A bond failure model was proposed in which fracture takes place along the non-connected regions, with cohesive failure in the foamed areas.

JO - Journal of Applied Crystallography JF - Journal of Applied Crystallography Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 36 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1182 SN - 00218898 AB - The distribution of gallium and germanium over the available framework sites in the type-I clathrate Sr8Ga16Ge30 (Pm&3sline;n) has been determined by powder diffraction using several different combinations of resonant scattering data sets, collected at energies close to both the Ga and Ge K-edges, and time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction data. Based on a combined refinement using three X-ray data sets and a composition restrain, the fractional occupancies of the 6c, 16i and 24k sites by gallium are estimated to be 0.705 (5), 0.181(3) and 0.376 (2), respectively. The required resonant scattering factors we4re determined by Kramers-Kronig transformation from X-ray absorption spectra. The results from refinements using single data sets and various combinations of data sets are compared. The high degree of scattering contrast that resonant diffraction can provide leads to very precise site occupancies, However, systematic errors in the rersonant diffraction intensity data can considerably degrade the accuracy of the results. The use of a carefully chosen multiple-data-set strategy can minimize bias in the refinement results by reducing the correlations between site occupancies, atomic displacement parameters and histogram scale factors. The effect of errors in the resonant scattering factors on the refinement results was also examined.

The sample shows definite twinning which is reflected in the Laue patterns as apparent splitting of the peaks. Reflections from the different domains were indexed separately. Positional shifts of twin domain spots with respects to the reference matrix spot, arising from the mutual misorientation of diffraction vectors, were measured on Laue patterns and compared with calculated values in order to solve the twin laws in this system.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 42 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1421 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948763 AB - In Lauder, Central Otago, New Zealand, two all-sky imaging systems have been in operation for more than 1 yr, measuring the total, opaque, and thin cloud fraction, as well as indicating whether the sun is obscured by clouds. The data provide a basis for investigating the impact of clouds on the surface radiation field. The all-sky cloud parameters were combined with measurements of global, direct, and diffuse surface solar irradiance over the spectral interval from 0.3 to 3 μm. Here, the results of ongoing analysis of this dataset are described. As a reference for the magnitude of the cloud influence, clear-sky irradiance values are estimated as a simple function of solar zenith angle and the earth–sun distance. The function is derived from a least squares fit to measurements taken when available cloud images show clear-sky situations. Averaged over a longer time period, such as 1 month, cloud fraction and surface irradiance are clearly negatively correlated. Monthly means in the ratio of the measured surface irradiance to the clear-sky value had a correlation coefficient of about -0.9 with means of cloud fraction for the months from July 2000 to June 2001. In the present work reductions in the surface irradiance and situations in which clouds cause radiation values to exceed the expected clear-sky amount are analyzed. Over 1 yr of observations, 1-min-averaged radiation measurements exceeding the expected clear-sky value by more than 10% were observed with a frequency of 5%. In contrast, a reduction of more than 10% below estimated clear-sky values occurred in 66% of the cases, while clear-sky irradiances (measured irradiance within ±10% of estimated clear-sky value) were observed 29% of the time. Low cloud fractions frequently lead to moderate enhancement, because the sun is often unobscured and the clouds are brighter than the sky that they hide. As cloud fraction increases the sun is likely to be obscured, causing irradiance values to fall well below clear-sky values. However, in the case of unobscured sun, there is a tendency for strongest enhancements when cloud fractions are highest. Enhancements, especially at high solar zenith angle, are also often observed in association with thin clouds.

This method of flyer plate launch utilizes the high currents, and resulting magnetic fields produced at the Sandia Z Accelerator to accelerate macroscopic aluminum flyer plates (approximately 12×25 mm in lateral dimension and ∼300 μm in thickness) to velocities in excess of 20 km/s. This technique was used to perform plate-impact shock-wave experiments on aluminum to determine the high-stress equation of state (EOS). Using a near-symmetric impact method, Hugoniot measurements were obtained in the stress range of 100–500 GPa. The results of these experiments are in excellent agreement with previously reported Hugoniot measurements of aluminum in this stress range. The agreement at lower stress, where highly accurate gas gun data exist, establishes the magnetically accelerated flyer plate technique as a suitable method for generating EOS data. Furthermore, the present results exhibit increased accuracy over the previous techniques used to obtain data in the higher-stress range. This improved accuracy enhances our understanding of the response of aluminum to 500 GPa, and lends increased confidence to the use of aluminum as a standard material in future impedance matching experiments. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The band edge absorption energy and its temperature dependence depend on the doping level. The band gap variation and Varshni parameters of InN are compared with other group III nitrides. The energy of the photoluminescence peak is affected by the emission from localized states and cannot be used to determine the band gap energy. Based on the results obtained on two samples with distinctly different electron concentrations, the effect of degenerate doping on the optical properties of InN is discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/10//10/1/2003 VL - 94 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4520 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence of InGaN quantum wells are measured as a function of applied biaxial strain, which provides a unique means of altering the built-in polarization field in these structures. The direction and magnitude of the shift of the luminescence-peak energy are quantitatively analyzed within an analytical carrier separation model. It is found that the presently used piezoelectric coefficients of InGaN are not entirely consistent with our experimental results. Instead, consistent interpretation of our data requires the e[sub 13] and e[sub 33] piezoelectric coefficients of InN to be ∼15% larger than the commonly accepted values. Our analysis allows the assignment of an effective carrier-separation parameter to each investigated quantum-well sample, which quantifies the shift of the luminescence peak energy with the change in the polarization field. The effective carrier separation is found to be zero for narrow quantum wells (<1.5 nm) and asymptotically approaches the full quantum well width for increasing well width. However, heavy doping or increased indium content are found to reduce the effective carrier separation, which is ascribed to screening of the polarization field or localization effects, respectively. A reduction of the carrier lifetime with the application of strain supports the carrier separation model and allows the derivation of a quantity related to the change of the wave function shape with the polarization field. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Liquid BF[sub 3] displays order only in the first coordination sphere around the average molecule and there is no intermediate range order. Liquid BF[sub 3] is thus not a layered liquid. Angular analysis using reverse Monte Carlo modeling shows that the dominant structural motif in the solid state, that of pseudo trigonal bipyramidal [3+2] coordination at B is partially retained in both the liquid and supercritical phase, though in the latter, this structural preference is greatly reduced. The structure of the supercritical phase retains the same intermolecular contact as the liquid phase, though the structural sites and population of these sites is much more widely distributed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We find that the difference in coverage between the compressed and uncompressed first layers is ∼10–15%. For coverages near one monolayer, this compression causes nearly temperature independent desorption kinetics over a wide temperature range (32–41 K). We present a theory that includes the effects of the compression on the desorption kinetics and explains the observed kinetics in terms of a competition between adsorbate–substrate and adsorbate–adsorbate interactions resulting in a continuous increase in the chemical potential near the completion of each successive layer. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Fish Biology JF - Journal of Fish Biology Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 63 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 970 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00221112 AB - Oxygen consumption rates of adult spring chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha increased with swim speed and, depending on temperature and fish mass, ranged from 609 mg O[sub 2] h[sup -1] at 30 cm s[sup -1] (c. 0·5 BL s[sup -1] ) to 3347 mg O[sub 2] h[sup -1] at 170 cm s[sup -1] (c. 2·3 BL s[sup -1] ). Corrected for fish mass, these values ranged from 122 to 670 mg O[sub 2] kg[sup -1] h[sup -1] , and were similar to other Oncorhynchus species. At all temperatures (8, 12·5 and 17° C), maximum oxygen consumption values levelled off and slightly declined with increasing swim speed >170 cm s[sup -1] , and a third-order polynomial regression model fitted the data best. The upper critical swim speed (U [sub crit] ) of fish tested at two laboratories averaged 155 cm s[sup -1] (2·1 BL s[sup -1] ), but U [sub crit] of fish tested at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory were significantly higher (mean 165 cm s[sup -1] ) than those from fish tested at the Columbia River Research Laboratory (mean 140 cm s[sup -1] ). Swim trials using fish that had electromyogram (EMG) transmitters implanted in them suggested that at a swim speed of c. 135 cm s[sup -1] , red muscle EMG pulse rates slowed and white muscle EMG pulse rates increased. Although there was significant variation between individual fish, this swim speed was c. 80% of the U [sub crit] for the fish used in the EMG trials (mean U [sub crit] 168·2 cm s[sup -1] ). Bioenergetic modelling of the upstream migration of adult chinook salmon should consider incorporating an anaerobic fraction of the energy budget when swim speeds are ≥80% of the U [sub crit] .

Fossil fuel displacement exclusive of product recovery can be estimated for biological processing of biomass in the absence of product-specific information other than the product yield and whether fermentation is aerobic or anaerobic. Based on this observation, a framework is proposed for estimating fossil fuel displacement on a per-unit-product or per-unit-biomass basis. Use of a per-unit-biomass basis offers somewhat different insights as compared to a per-unit-product basis and appears particularly appropriate for consideration of the efficacy of resource or land use. Using the proposed framework, the following feedstock and process factors are shown to be particularly important in determining the extent of fossil fuel displacement via biological processes: feedstock (corn or cellulosic) and, for corn, harvest mode (e.g., with or without stover recovery); biological conversion (aerobic or anaerobic); product yield; and the energy requirements for product recovery. When all of these factors are favorable, as in the case of the cellulosic ethanol scenario examined, significant fossil fuel displacement can be achieved. When all of these factors are unfavorable, as in the case of a scenario involving polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from corn without stover recovery, no net displacement is achieved. The proposed framework provides a means to screen processes with respect to potential for fossil fuel displacement in the absence of product-specific information, to gain general insights into feedstock and process features important in determining the extent to which fossil displacement is realized, and to rapidly incorporate product-specific information into a preexisting evaluative rubric.

We have constructed a life-cycle model that describes collecting corn stover in the state of Iowa, in the Midwest of the United States, for the production and use of a fuel mixture consisting of 85% ethanol/15% gasoline (known as "E85") in a flexible-fuel light-duty vehicle. The model incorporates results from individual models for soil carbon dynamics, soil erosion, agronomics of stover collection and transport, and bioconversion of stover to ethanol. Limitations in available data forced us to focus on a scenario that assumes all farmers in the state of Iowa switch from their current cropping and tilling practices to continuous production of corn and "no-till" practices. Under these conditions, which maximize the amount of collectible stover, Iowa alone could produce almost 8 billion liters per year of pure stover-derived ethanol (E100) at prices competitive with today's corn-starch-derived fuel ethanol. Soil organic matter, an important indicator of soil health, drops slightly in the early years of stover collection but remains stable over the 90-year time frame studied. Soil erosion is controlled at levels within tolerable soil-loss limits established for each county in Iowa by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We find that, for each kilometer fueled by the ethanol portion of E85, the vehicle uses 95% less petroleum compared to a kilometer driven in the same vehicle on gasoline. Total fossil energy use (coal, oil, and natural gas) and greenhouse gas emissions (fossil CO2, N2O, and CH4) on a life-cycle basis are 102% and 113% lower, respectively. Air quality impacts are mixed, with emissions of CO, NOx, and SOx increasing, whereas hydrocarbon ozone precursors are reduced. This model can serve as a platform for future discussion and analysis of possible scenarios for the sustainable production of transportation fuels from corn stover and other agricultural residues.

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is blistering skin disease, resulting from mutations in the Ca[sup 2+] ATPase ATP2C1, which controls Ca[sup 2+] concentrations in the cytoplasm and Golgi of human keratinocytes. Because actin reorganization is among the first responses to raised cytoplasmic Ca[sup 2+], we examined Ca[sup 2+]-induced actin reorganization in normal and HHD keratinocytes. Even though HHD keratinocytes display raised baseline cytoplasmic Ca[sup 2+], we found that actin reorganization in response to Ca[sup 2+] was impaired in HHD keratinocytes. Defects in actin reorganization were linked to a marked decrease in cellular ATP in HHD keratinocytes, which persists, in vivo, in HHD epidermis. Defective actin reorganization was reproduced in normal keratinocytes in which the intracellular ATP concentration had been lowered pharmacologically. ATP concentrations in undifferentiated keratinocytes markedly declined after extracellular Ca[sup 2+] was increased, but then recovered to a new baseline that was approximately 150% of the previous baseline. In contrast, ATP concentrations in HHD keratinocytes did not change in response to increased extracellular Ca[sup 2+]. This report provides new insights into how the ATP2C1-controlled ATP metabolism mediates Ca[sup 2+]-induced cell-to-cell adhesion in normal keratinocytes. In addition, these findings implicate inadequate ATP stores as an additional cause in the pathogenesis of HHD and suggest novel therapeutic options.

We found that the abnormal Ca[sup 2+] signaling seen in Hailey-Hailey disease keratinocytes correlates with decreased protein levels of ATP2C1. Human ATP2C1 protein approximated 115 kDa in size. The ATP2C1 is localized to the Golgi apparatus in human keratinocytes, similar to its localization in yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans. To test whether the ATP2C1 controls Golgi Ca[sup 2+] stores, we measured intraorganelle Ca[sup 2+] concentrations using specifically targeted aequorins. Whereas normal keratinocytes display Golgi Ca[sup 2+] levels comparable to other epithelial cells, Hailey-Hailey disease keratinocyte Golgi Ca[sup 2+] refill is slower, and the maximum Ca[sup 2+] concentration reached is significantly lower. These findings were replicated in vivo, because clinically normal Hailey-Hailey disease epidermis contained lower Ca[sup 2+] stores and displayed an abnormal Ca[sup 2+] gradient. In this report we localize the ATP2C1, demonstrate its physiologic relevance in mammalian cells, and measure intraorganelle Golgi Ca[sup 2+] in keratinocytes.

Rather than considering feature selection as separate from learning, grafting treats the selection of suitable features as an integral pan of learning a predictor in a regularized learning framework. To make this regularized learning process sufficiently fast for large scale problems, grafting operates in an incremental iterative fashion, gradually building up a feature set while training a predictor model using gradient descent. At each iteration, a fast gradient-based heuristic is used to quickly assess which feature is most likely to improve the existing model, that feature is then added to the model, and the model is incrementally optimized using gradient descent. The algorithm scales linearly with the number of data points and at most quadratically with the number of features. Grafting can be used with a variety of predictor model classes, both linear and non-linear, and can be used for both classification and regression. Experiments are reported here on a variant of grafting for classification, using both linear and non-linear models, and using a logistic regression-inspired loss function. Results on a variety of synthetic and real world data sets are presented. Finally the relationship between grafting, stagewise additive modelling, and boosting is explored.

The experiments efficiently convert satellite-transition coherence from single- to double-quantum with a central-transition selective π-pulse. The conversion allows the selection of double-quantum coherence transfer pathways with phase cycling that completely filters out unwanted diagonal and outer satellite-transition peaks.

SN - 02618028 AB - This article focuses on cement hydration by soft x-ray transmission microscopy. Portland cement is produced from a finely-ground mixture of limestone and clay or shale that is fired at about 1400 degree celcius to produce a hard clinker that, after cooling, is re-ground with a small amount of gypsum to give a fine gray powder. The resulting cement reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide, calcium aluminate hydrates, and, perhaps most importantly, calcium silicate hydrate. Calcium silicate hydrate is the primary hydration product that gives concrete most of its characteristic mechanical properties.

An absorption coefficient of 1.2 × 10−2 and 2.3 × 10−2 cm−1 was measured at 1.55 μm for Ga:La:S and Ga:La:S:O respectively. Comparing this result with conventional transmission measurements, we show that absorption is the prevailing loss mechanism in the near-IR region. Although not conclusive, our measurements suggest that the absorption is due to impurities and to the weak absorption tail.

The results, which yield asymmetries in the electric field gradient at the arsenic sites, provide detailed information on the local structural order and the photoinduced structural changes in these glasses and crystals – order that cannot easily be obtained from other techniques such as X-ray or neutron scattering. In crystalline and glassy As2Se3 and As2S3 these results disagree with those inferred from previous low field Zeeman-perturbed NQR studies, and they are inconsistent with the predictions of a common model (Raft Model) for the structure of glassy As2Se3 and other chalcogenide glasses. Results on optically irradiated and annealed, glassy As2S3 place severe restrictions on the possible changes in local and intermediate range order that can occur on photodarkening. The high-field, NMR technique should be useful for many other solids that contain one of the 20 elements whose nuclei have spin 3/2 and relatively large quadrupole moments.

Recently we have conducted high field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies at 17 T and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies of 75As in glassy As2S3. We have compared the 75As NMR and NQR lineshapes in glassy As2S3 and As2O3 before and after irradiation. An increase in the asymmetry parameter would have implied an increase in the departure from cylindrical symmetry in the bonding at the arsenic pyramidal sites. The null result reported here is inconsistent with microscopic models of photodarkening that involve switching of large numbers of As–Chalcogen bonds.

Local structure around As and Se atoms was determined for as-prepared as well as annealed a-As40Se60 films, which were exposed to bandgap light of polarization parallel and perpendicular to that of the X-rays. For the as-prepared film, the nearest neighbor bond distance around Se atoms increases, the magnitude of which varies with the polarization of light, thus confirming our previous observations on a-As50Se50 films. These results give an atomistic indication of a light-induced vector expansion in any material, and provide insight of the mechanisms of the light-induced atom displacements.

A reinterpretation and critical look at the previously published thermodynamic values for desorption of water from PuO2 [J. Phys. Chem. 77 (1973) 581] are reexamined in light of more recent mathematical treatments of thermal desorption data from high surface area materials. In addition, the time and temperature dependent process of water adsorption/desorption in closed system experiments is examined using chemical kinetics modeling. A simple experimental method and mathematical treatment of determining adsorption enthalpies based upon a closed system is also described. The desorption enthalpy for reversibly adsorbed water from PuO2 is determined to be a function of adsorbate coverage with values ranging from 51 to 44 kJ mol−1 for coverages of one to several monolayers (MLs). Consistent desorption enthalpy values are obtained using either approach thus highlighting the importance of proper interpretation of adsorption parameters determined from high surface area powders. Reversible adsorption/desorption equilibrium of water with actinide oxide materials is discussed from the practical standpoint of storage and subsequent pressurization of containers. These results obtained from PuO2 surfaces are consistent with desorption enthalpies of water from a low surface area UO2 that has been measured using ultra-high vacuum thermal desorption mass spectroscopy to be 42.2 kJ mol−1.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 107 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 7783 SN - 10895639 AB - Using a combination of electronic-structure methods, we have explored in some detail the regions of the C6H6 potential that are important for describing the recombination of propargyl (C3H3) radicals. Using this information in an RRKM-based master equation, we have been able to predict rate coefficients for a variety of elementary reactions, including the C3H3 + C3H3 recombination itself. Generally, the agreement between the theory and the limited amount of experimental information available is very good, although some discrepancies remain. The most important new feature of the present analysis (over our previous one) is the inclusion of a path on the potential that connects 1,2,4,5-hexatetraene to 1,3-hexadien-5-yne and then goes on to benzene and phenyl + H without passing through fulvene. The inclusion of this path in the analysis allows a number of experimental observations to be accounted for by the theory. From the results of the master equation calculations, we propose a simple, contracted model for describing the rate coefficient and product distribution of the C3H3 + C3H3 recombination reaction (and subsequent isomerizations) for use in flame modeling. Modified Arrhenius expressions are provided for the rate coefficients of the reactions appearing in the simplified model.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 107 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 7891 SN - 10895639 AB - Metal oxide molecules are of particular interest from both a scientific and technological perspective in view of their elementary nature and role in such processes as high-temperature vaporization. A fundamental and important property is the bond energy between the metal center and the oxygen in neutral and ionic monoxide molecules, BDE[MO] and BDE[MO+]. For the 4f-block lanthanide (Ln) and 5f-block actinide (An) inner transition metals, it has been demonstrated that many chemical properties can be rationalized from the electronic structures and energetics of the isolated metal atom or ion. In the present work, a relationship is developed to reliably predict known BDE[LnO], BDE[LnO+], BDE[AnO], and BDE[AnO+] energies from spectroscopically determined electronic properties; this relationship is employed to estimate unknown bond energies. A notable implication of the results is that effective bonding between the metal center and the oxygen atom in these species requires two unpaired valence d electrons.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 107 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 7991 SN - 10895639 AB - Oxidation of the methyl viologen radical, MV•+, by the peroxynitrite anion, ONOO-, occurs through an indirect pathway, which includes reversible homolytic dissociation of ONOO- into a pair of the NO• and O2•- radicals (rate-determining step, kh = 0.017 ± 0.001 s-1) followed by rapid oxidation of MV•+ by O2•- with kso = (3.5 ± 0.2) × 109 M-1 s-1 at zero ionic strength. Direct oxidation of MV•+ radical through a bimolecular reaction with ONOO- is immeasurably slow (k < 1 × 103 M-1 s-1). The MV•+ radical does not rapidly reduce NO•, suggesting that the one-electron reduction potential of the latter is significantly below -0.45 V (NHE), consistent with the recently reported reevaluations of NO• reduction energetics. The equilibrium constant Kh = (3.6 ± 0.3) × 10-12 M for the dissociation of ONOO- into NO• and O2•- is determined from the measurements of rate constants for the forward and reverse (recombination of NO• and O2•-, k-h = (4.8 ± 0.3) × 109 M-1 s-1) reactions. The free energies of formation in aqueous solution ΔfG°(ONOO-) = 68.5 ± 1.4 kJ/mol and ΔfG°(ONOOH) = 30.8 ± 1.5 kJ/mol are derived from these data. The last value is fully consistent with the major role of the ONOOH homolytic dissociation into a pair of the NO2• and OH• radicals in oxidations by peroxynitrite. Collectively, these results help to resolve disputes in the literature over the values for kh, k-h, Kh, ΔfG°(ONOO-), and ΔfG°(ONOOH); measurements of all these quantities in this work disagree with their recent reevaluations, but largely agree with earlier reports.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 107 IS - 39 M3 - Book Review SP - 10722 SN - 15206106 AB - We describe the fabrication and electrochemical characterization of as-grown and postprocessed vertically aligned carbon nanofiber forest electrodes at macroscopic (5 mm) and microscopic dimensions (250 μm). We examine the impact of a variety of microfabrication processes that are typically employed during nanofiber-based device synthesis including refractory metal reactive ion etch, oxide coating and removal, and several oxygen-based etch processes—all of which dramatically impact microscale electrode response. We also demonstrate that the high electrochemically active surface area of larger scale, macroscopic nanofiber forest electrodes can provide a buffering capacity against surface activation/inactivation. Under diffusion-limited transport conditions, this may preserve the electrochemical response of the electrode during storage and against the impacts of processing techniques used during nanofiber-based device fabrication.

This hand application of the catalyst is a time consuming process of modest precision with respect to catalyst loading, producing samples not ideally suited for controlled experimentation. We report the results of a method for preparing MEA catalyst layers in a faster and highly reproducible fashion. This method relies on catalyst inks that have been modified to increase their coating reproducibility, and the use of a support material that improves the hot press transfer of the catalyst to the membrane separator. The result is a process which is not only significantly more precise and faster than hand painting, but which produces cells with nearly 25% higher current density in the critical voltage operating region.

In this experiment, a number of cells were stored in a variety of static aging environments ranging from 25 °C and 60% SOC to 55 °C and 100% SOC. The power output of each cell was monitored regularly over the course of 44 weeks via a low current level hybrid pulse power characterization test. A single empirical model of power fade, involving two concurrent degradation processes, was found to be applicable over a wide range of experimental conditions. The first degradation process is relatively rapid (nearly complete within 4 weeks) and is accelerated by temperature with unknown kinetics. The second degradation process (accelerated by temperature and SOC) is less rapid and exhibits time3/2 kinetics.

These states include charged, discharged, and over-cycled. The lowest internal resistance was obtained from the cell in the charged state; the resistance increased when the cell was discharged; and the highest resistance was obtained from the cell in the over-cycled state. From the ESEM and TEM studies, it was found that the surface of the cathode was porous initially; however, it was coated with an amorphous film and porous features had also disappeared from the cell in the over-cycled state. In addition, higher concentration of aluminum was found on the surface of the cathode in over-cycled cells. The mechanisms for capacity degradation are discussed.

Its selectivity for radioactive 137Cs and 89Sr was compared with the TS, Na2Ti2O3SiO4·2H2O, having sitinakite topology. The Nb–TS shows significantly higher uptake value for 137Cs but lower for 89Sr than the TS. To investigate the origin of selectivity, the ion exchanged Cs+ and Sr2+ forms with the composition, CsxNaHyNb0.5Ti1.5O3SiO4·zH2O (x=0.1, 0.2 and 0.3, x+y=0.5 and z=1–2) and Sr0.2Na0.6H0.5Nb0.5Ti1.5O3SiO4·H2O, respectively, were structurally characterized from the X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld refinement technique. Simultaneously the kinetics of 137Cs and 89Sr uptake was investigated for the NbV free and doped samples. While the Cs+ and Sr2+ exchanged form of Nb–TS and the Cs+ exchanged form of TS retain the symmetry of the parent compound, the Sr2+ exchanged form of TS undergoes a symmetry change. The differences in the uptake of Cs+ and Sr2+ result from the different coordination environments of cesium and strontium in the eight-ring channel, that result from various hydration sites in the tunnel. The origin of selectivity appears to arise from the higher coordination number of cesium or strontium. Other effects due to NbV substitution are reflected in the increase of both, the a- and c-dimensions and thus the unit cell volume, and the population of water vs. Na+ in the channel to charge-balance the Nb5+↔Ti4+ substitution.

Specifically we apply the iterative Gerchberg–Saxton–Fienup algorithm to simulated three-dimensional transmission electron diffraction data from monolayer organic crystals. We find that oversampling along the reciprocal-lattice rods (relrods) normal to the monolayer alone does not solve the phase problem in this geometry in general. However, based on simulations for a crystalline protein monolayer (lysozyme), we find that convergence is obtained in three dimensions if phases are supplied from a few high resolution electron microscope images recorded at small tilts to the beam direction. In the absence of noise, amplitude-weighted phase residuals of around 5°, and a cross-correlation coefficient of 0.96 between the true and estimated potential are obtained if phases are included from images at tilts of up to 15°. The performance is almost as good in the presence of noise at a level that is comparable to that commonly observed in electron crystallography of proteins. The method should greatly reduce the time and labor needed for data acquisition and analysis in cryo-electron microscopy of organic thin crystals by avoiding the need to record images at high tilt angles.

A three-dimensional data set can be assembled from such images when many copies of the molecule are exposed to the beam one by one in random orientations. We outline a method for structure reconstruction from such a data set in which no independent information is available about the orientation of the images. The basic requirement for reconstruction and/or signal averaging is the ability to tell whether two noisy diffraction patterns represent the same view of the sample or two different views. With this knowledge, averaging techniques can be used to enhance the signal and extend the resolution in a redundant data set. Based on statistical properties of the diffraction pattern, we present an analytical solution to the classification problem. The solution connects the number of incident X-ray photons with the particle size and the achievable resolution. The results are surprising in that they show that classification can be done with less than one photon per pixel in the limiting resolution shell, assuming Poisson-type photon noise in the image. The results can also be used to provide criteria for improvements in other image classification procedures, e.g., those used in electron tomography or diffraction.

Most of the acoustic power is produced in the efficient traveling-wave stages. The straight-line series configuration is easy to build and allows no Gedeon streaming. The engine delivers up to 2 kW of acoustic power, with an efficiency (the ratio of acoustic power to heater power) of up to 20%. An understanding of the pressure and volume-velocity waves is very good. The agreement between measured and calculated powers and temperatures is reasonable. Some of the measured thermal power that cannot be accounted for by calculation can be attributed to Rayleigh streaming in the two thermal buffer tubes with the largest aspect ratios. A straightforward extension of this work should yield cascade thermoacoustic engines with efficiencies of around 35-40% of the Carnot efficiency.

Complementary energy-dispersive X-ray emission spectroscopy experiments revealed the presence of yttrium ions segregated to the 0.5-0.7-nm thin amorphous boundary layers that separate individual grains. Our objective here is probing if yttrium ions attach to the prismatic planes of the Si[sub 3]N[sub 4] at the interface toward the amorphous layer, using Scherzer and phasereconstruction imaging, as well as image simulation. Crystal structure images of grain boundaries in thin sample (<100 Å) areas do not reveal the attachment of yttrium at these positions, although lattice images from thicker areas do suggest the presence of yttrium at these sites. It is concluded that most of the yttrium atoms are located in the amorphous phase and only a few atoms may attach to the terminating prism plane. In this case, the line concentrations of such yttrium in the latter location are estimated to be at most one yttrium atom every 17 Å,.

These coatings are exposed to thermal loadings under annealing conditions. The residual stresses of the coatings with different thickness, as well as changes during thermal cycling were simulated by finite element analysis (FEA). It serves to produce model materials on which properties investigations are carried to better understand the one of industrially produced material. Results showed that the residual stress was the lowest for 1-μm thick coatings compared to that of 2- and 3-μm thick coatings, and the residual stresses increased with increased in coating thickness.

The absolute intensity from very high angle annular dark-field images in a dedicated scanning transmission electron microscope can be quantified to determine the number of atoms in a nanoparticle on a support material. Analytical electron microscopy results revealed that the relative Pt:Ru atomic concentration in a nanoparticle does not vary significantly from particle to particle. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was 1.56 nm, and the average number of atoms was measured to be 24 atoms per nanoparticle. The combination of these techniques indicates that the PtRu5 nanoparticles are oblate on the carbon black support.

The diffusivities are computed over a range of loadings, corresponding to external equilibrium bulk pressures ranging from 0 to 100 bar. The diffusivities in carbon nanotubes are compared with diffusivities of the same gases in silicalite, a common zeolite, under the same conditions. We find that self-diffusivities are one to three orders of magnitude faster in carbon nanotubes than in silicalite, depending on loading. The transport diffusivities are about three orders of magnitude faster in nanotubes than in silicalite over all loadings studied. The equilibrium adsorption isotherms and computed diffusivities are used to predict fluxes through hypothetical membranes of nanotubes and silicalite. The fluxes for both Ar and Ne are predicted to be four orders of magnitude greater through nanotube membranes than through silicalite membranes of the same thickness.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 131 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2417 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - During the summer of 2000, the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) program deployed a three-dimensional Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) near Goodland, Kansas. Video confirmation of sprites triggered by lightning within storms traversing the LMA domain were coordinated with extremely low frequency (ELF) transient measurements in Rhode Island and North Carolina. Two techniques of estimating changes in vertical charge moment (M[sub q] ) yielded averages of ∼800 and ∼950 C km for 13 sprite-parent positive polarity cloud-to-ground strokes (+CGs). Analyses of the LMA's very high frequency (VHF) lightning emissions within the two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) show that +CGs did not produce sprites until the centroid of the maximum density of lightning radiation emissions dropped from the upper part of the storm (7–11.5 km AGL) to much lower altitudes (2–5 km AGL). The average height of charge removal (Z[sub q] ) from 15 sprite-parent +CGs during the late mature phase of one MCS was 4.1 km AGL. Thus, the total charges lowered by sprite-parent +CGs were on the order of 200 C. The regional 0°C isotherm was located at about 4.0 km AGL. This suggests a possible linkage between sprite-parent CGs and melting-layer/brightband charge production mechanisms in MCS stratiform precipitation regions. These cases are supportive of the conceptual MCS sprite-production models previously proposed by two of the authors (Lyons and Williams).

Closure is achieved by Taylor expansion of the fractional flow function and a perturbation argument. Previous results in one dimension are extended to two dimensions. Comparison to Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) shows that the MDE approach gives a good approximation to total oil production. For such spatially integrated or averaged quantities MDEs may be substantially more efficient than MCS.

Changing the shape is more flexible and provides more variety of electronic states than simply changing the size of the system. The special features of the electronic states achieved by different shapes of the nanocrystals can be used in various device applications.

Highly graphitic nanotubes can be continuously deposited with iron content as low as 15 wt % and carbon impurities below thermal gravimetric analysis detection limits. The MWNTs are simply purified to ~99.5 wt % with minimal structural damage and with a 75 wt % yield.

Observations yield facts that can be integrated into hypotheses and theoretical models that are amenable to further experimental tests. The ultimate product of this iterative process of making observations and theoretical model building is mechanistic understanding. The creation of models has been essential in many important advances in biology; the most famous example is Watson and Crick's model for the structure of DNA. Exploration of ideas with conceptual models before the availability of experimental data has also led to the development of some of the basic paradigms of immunology. In the past three decades, advances in cell culture techniques, immunochemistry, recombinant DNA methodology, X-ray crystallography and the use of transgenic mice have enabled the explanation of diverse immunological phenomena in terms of protein structure and specific biochemical events. However, there are some recent indications that quantitative theoretical models can partner fruitfully with cellular experiments to substantially advance the understanding of molecular mechanisms that underlie key events such as T cell activation, T cell migration and thymocyte selection.

An algorithm was developed that uses k-space MRI data to monitor subject motion during functional MRI time series. A k-space weighted average of squared difference between the initial scan and subsequent scans is calculated, which summarizes subject motion in a single quality parameter; however, the quality parameter cannot be used for motion correction. The evolution of this quality parameter throughout a time series indicates whether head motion is within a predetermined limit. Fifty functional MRI studies were used to calibrate the sensitivity of the algorithm, using the six rigid-body registration parameters (three translations and three rotations) from the statistical parametric mapping (SPM99) package as a reference. The average correlation coefficient between the new quality parameter and the reference value from SPM was 0.84. The simple algorithm correctly classified acceptable or excessive motion with 90% accuracy, with the remaining 10% being borderline cases. This method makes it possible to evaluate brain motion within seconds after a scan and to decide whether a study needs to be repeated.

JO - New Astronomy Reviews JF - New Astronomy Reviews Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 47 IS - 6/7 M3 - Article SP - 427 SN - 13876473 AB - The properties of radio galaxies and quasars with and without optical or X-ray jets are compared. The majority of jets from which high-frequency emission has been detected so far (13 with optical emission, 11 with X-rays, 13 with both) are associated with the most powerful radio sources at any given redshift. It is found that optical/X-ray jet sources are more strongly beamed than the average population of extragalactic radio sources. This suggests that the detection or non-detection of optical emission from jets has so far been dominated by surface brightness selection effects, not by jet physics. It implies that optical jets are much more common than is currently appreciated.

The source consists of a stainless-steel plasma chamber, a permanent-magnet dipole structure and a coaxial microwave feed. Measurements were carried out to characterize the plasma and the ion beam produced in the ion source. These measurements included current density, charge state distribution, gas efficiency and accelerated beam emittance measurements. Using a computer controlled data acquisition system a new method of determining the saturation ion current was developed. Current density of 3–6 mA/cm2 was measured with the source operating in the over dense mode. The highest measured charge-states were Ar5+, O3+ and Xe7+. Gas efficiency was measured using a calibrated argon leak. Depending on the source pressure and discharge power, more than 20% total gas efficiency was achieved. The emittance of the ion beam was measured by using a pepper-pot device. Certain spread was noticed in the beam emittance in the perpendicular direction to the source dipole field. For the parallel direction to the magnetic field, the normalized rr′ emittance of 0.032 π-mm-mrad at 13 kV of acceleration voltage and beam exit aperture of 3-mm-in-diameter was measured. This compares relatively well with the simulated value of 4 rms, normalized emittance value of 0.024 π-mm-mrad.

A movable source can be positioned remotely to illuminate each scintillator tile individually, and the resulting photo-detector current is measured to provide the relative calibration. The unique measurement technique described here makes use of the normal high-speed data acquisition system required for signal digitization at the 40 MHz collider frequency. The data paths for collider measurements and source measurements are then identical, and systematic uncertainties associated with having different signal paths are avoided. In this high-speed mode, the source signal is observed as a Poisson photo-electron distribution with a mean that is smaller than the width of the electronics noise (pedestal) distribution. We report demonstration of the technique using prototype electronics for the complete readout chain and show the typical response observed with a 144 channel test beam system. The electronics noise has a root-mean-square of 1.6 least counts, and a 1 mCi source produces a shift of the mean value of 0.1 least counts. Because of the speed of the data acquisition system, this shift can be measured to a statistical precision better than a fraction of a percent on a millisecond time scale. The result is reproducible to better than 2% over a time scale of 1 month.

CsPrP4O12 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group whereas RbPrP4O12 crystallizes either in the cubic I-43d or monoclinic C2/c space group. The Pr3+ ions occupy sites of S4 and C2 symmetries in the cubic and monoclinic phases, respectively, with an eightfold coordination in both phases. The present work reports on an analysis of the Pr3+ 4f2 energy level diagram based on the low temperature fluorescence spectra under laser selective excitation in the 3P2 states of the cubic CsPrP4O12 and monoclinic RbPrP4O12 compounds. The experimental energy levels are fitted using the SPECTRA program available on the Argonne National Laboratory website. The best fits lead to standard deviations in the order of 28 and 21 cm−1 for the CsPrP4O12 and RbPrP4O12 materials, respectively.

Contrary, the metabolic system remainspersistent and coexistent with its parasites both on heterogeneous surfaces andin chaotically mixing flowing media. Persistent metabolic parasites can beconverted to metabolic cooperators, or they can gradually obtain replicase activity.Our simulations show that, once replicase activity emerged, a gradual and simultaneousevolutionary improvement of replicase functionality (speed and fidelity) andtemplate efficiency is possible only on a surface that constrains the mobility ofmacromolecule replicators. Based on the results of the models reviewed, we suggestthat open chaotic flows (`soup') and surface dynamics (`pizza') both played keyroles in the sequence of evolutionary events ultimately concluding in theappearance of the first living cell on Earth.

A new class of “data grid” infrastructure is required to support management, transport, distributed access to, and analysis of these datasets by potentially thousands of users. Researchers who face this challenge include the climate modeling community, which performs long-duration computations accompanied by frequent output of very large files that must be further analyzed. We describe the Earth System Grid-I prototype, which brings together advanced analysis, replica management, data transfer, request management, and other technologies to support high-performance, interactive analysis of replicated data. We present performance results that demonstrate our ability to manage the location and movement of large datasets from the user’s desktop. We report on experiments conducted over SciNET at SC’2000, where we achieved peak performance of 1.55 Gb/s and sustained performance of 512.9 Mb/s for data transfers between Texas and California. Finally, we describe the development of the next-generation Earth System Grid-II (ESG-II) project. Important issues for ESG-II include security requirements for production environments, efficient data filtering and transport, metadata services for discovery of relevant climate datasets, and sophisticated request or workflow management for complex tasks.

The Gambit code is used to generate the geometry and the computational grid. An unstructured mesh is generated for the pilot-scale boiler. The FLUENT code is used for evaluating the gas mean velocity, turbulence fluctuation energy, and mean pressure, as well as temperature fields and chemical species concentrations. The particle equation of motion includes the nonlinear drag, gravity, Brownian, lift, and thermophoretic forces. The gas velocity and thermal conditions in the furnace are studied. Ensembles of particle trajectories are generated and statistically analyzed. Particle deposition rates on different walls are evaluated, and the effect of particle size is studied.

We show numerically and analytically that a state of coexistence reveals itself and is favoured energetically over other possible states, and a simple phase diagram is developed.

We briefly discuss two examples where such a breaking of the translational symmetry due to nonlinearity (i) determines the optical features (in particular the resonance Raman scattering spectra) of a quasi-one-dimensional halogen-bridged mixed-valence transition metal complex, and (ii) enhances the trapping of a charge in a model of DNA, which is likely to affect the long-range transport properties in this biomolecule.

Electrical imaging methods typically establish connectivity and directly measure electrical conductivity, which can then often be related to porosity by Archie''s law. When electrical phase measurements are made in addition to the amplitude measurements, information about the pertinent length scale can then be obtained. Since fluid permeability controls the ability to flush unwanted fluid contaminants from the subsurface, inexpensive maps of permeability could improve planning strategies for remediation efforts. Detailed knowledge of fluid permeability is also important for oil field exploitation, where knowledge of permeability distribution in three dimensions is a common requirement for petroleum reservoir simulation and analysis, as well as for estimates on the economics of recovery.

Rectangular and cylindrical geometries of varying aspect ratios for experimental boundary conditions, including fins and spatial ramps in plate separation, are examined with particular attention paid to the role of the mean flow. A small cylindrical convection layer bounded laterally either by a rigid wall, fin, or a ramp is investigated and our results suggest that the mean flow plays an important role in the observed wavenumber. Analytical results are developed quantifying the mean flow sources, generated by amplitude gradients, and its effect on the pattern wavenumber for a large-aspect-ratio cylinder with a ramped boundary. Numerical results are found to agree well with these analytical predictions. We gain further insight into the role of mean flow in pattern dynamics by employing a novel method of quenching the mean flow numerically. Simulations of a spiral defect chaos state where the mean flow is suddenly quenched is found to remove the time dependence, increase the wavenumber and make the pattern more angular in nature.

This approximate deconvolution model is based on a rational (subdiagonal Padé) approximation of the Fourier transform of the Gaussian filter and is proposed as an alternative to the gradient (also known as the nonlinear or tensor-diffusivity) model. We used a spectral element code to perform large eddy simulations of incompressible channel flows at Reynolds numbers based on the friction velocity and the channel half-width Re[sub τ]=180 and Re[sub τ]=395. We compared the RLES model with the gradient model and the Smagorinsky model with Van Driest damping. The RLES model was much more stable than the gradient model and yielded improved results. Both the RLES model and the gradient model predicted the off-diagonal Reynolds stresses better than the Smagorinsky model with Van Driest damping. The latter, however, yielded better results for the diagonal Reynolds stresses.

Fluid Mech. 241, 645 (1992)]. The solutions are exact for a decay with Taylor microscale similarity in which the skewness and palinstrophy coefficients are constant. The approach to the k(t)∼t[sup -1] decay, though not reached in finite time (mathematically speaking), is approached fairly rapidly for typical palinstrophies. An expression for the evolution of the Taylor microscale as a function of the Reynolds number and the palinstrophy is derived. Expansion of the exact solution for small time shows a slow departure from the initial condition, depending on the initial Taylor microscale Reynolds number, as seen in numerical solutions.

A. Nebel and D. C. Barnes, Fusion Technol. 38, 28 (1998); D. C. Barnes and R. A. Nebel, Phys. Plasmas 5, 2498 (1998)] have suggested that a tiny oscillating ion cloud may undergo a self-similar collapse in a harmonic oscillator potential formed by a uniform electron background. By tuning the external radio-frequency electric fields to this naturally occurring mode, it is then possible to heat the ions to obtain very high densities and temperatures simultaneously during the collapse phase of the oscillation through adiabatic compression. However, a major uncertainty in this oscillating plasma scheme is the dynamics and stability of the background electrons in the virtual cathode. Recent work based on the electron fluid equations have demonstrated that the required electron cloud is susceptible to an instability that is analogous to the Rayleigh–Taylor mode present in fluid mechanics [R. A. Nebel and J. M. Finn, Phys. Plasmas 8, 1505 (2001)]. This paper describes an inertial electrostatic confinement device at Los Alamos National Laboratory that is being used to test the electron dynamics in a virtual cathode and will subsequently be used to verify this heating and compression scheme. Results from the device operation will be presented including the formation of deep potential wells and bifurcations in the potential equilibria. A simple model is used to explain this bifurcation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Kaye et al., Fusion Technol. 36, 16 (1999)] have been compared to theories of transport suppression that have been used to develop a physics framework for low-confinement (L) to high-confinement (H) mode transitions. The NSTX data were obtained in low aspect ratio (R/a≃1.3) discharges taken from a variety of discharge phases, including L-modes, L-H transitions and H-modes with and without edge localized modes. The comparisons show that the group of points taken just before the L-H mode transition are well mixed with the purely L-mode group to within the measurement uncertainties, indicating that changes in these parameters leading up to the transition are subtle. One of the theory parameters, α[sub MHD]=-Rq[sup 2] dβ[sub t]/dr, does show a clear threshold (α[sub MHD]=1 to 2) between the H-mode grouping of points and those remaining in the L-mode or taken just prior to the transition. Additionally, there is no evidence for an edge temperature threshold necessary for transitioning into the H-mode. NSTX data indicate further a possible connection between L-H transitions and nonambipolar beam ion losses. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The current density is measured to be approximately zero in this region, though in principle there was sufficient current drive power for the central current density to have gone significantly negative. Recent papers have used a large aspect-ratio expansion to show that normal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria (with axisymmetric nested flux surfaces, non-singular fields, and monotonic peaked pressure profiles) cannot exist with negative central current. That proof is extended here to arbitrary aspect ratio, using a variant of the virial theorem to derive a relatively simple integral constraint on the equilibrium. However, this constraint does not, by itself, exclude equilibria with non-nested flux surfaces, or equilibria with singular fields and/or hollow pressure profiles that may be spontaneously generated. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

This gradient results in confining fields that can, in principle, confine the hot electron column to nearly the laser injection spot size. Fully kinetic ion dynamics are included, to account for heavy particle transport effects across interfaces. Potential applications include radiography, electron beam focusing, and perhaps beam collimation for fast ignition.

Coherence lengths, interplanar spacings, and crystallinities were obtained for non-aged and aged films of OH numbers of 120, 375, and 600 bonded to an aluminum substrate. Aging led to the improvement of bulk crystallinity of all the samples, particularly in the case of the aged PU-375 film, for which a dramatic increase of the bond strength was observed. The crystallinity of non-aged samples varied from the air/polymer surface down to the polymer/aluminum interface. Invariance of coherence length from air surface to interface was observed for PU-120 and PU-375 samples, implying that substrate-induced ordering has little effect on the average crystallite size. As the X-ray penetration increases near the polymer/Al interface, interplanar spacing of (021) reflection in all the films approach the value found for a bulk polyurethane-urea by Ishihara et al. The bond strength of the polyurethane film to the aluminum was exponentially proportional to the crystallinity including the crystalline interphase formed near the substrate. It is also found that the polymer film containing more (100) planes provided higher bond strength.

In this paper, we first describe modifications that allow the force measurements to be made isothermally and show that such measurements lead to more accurate estimates of sealing force decay. We then use conventional Arrhenius analysis and linear extrapolation of the high-temperature (80–110 °C) CSR results for two commercial butyl o-ring materials (Butyl-A and Butyl-B) to show that Butyl-B is predicted to have approximately three times longer lifetime at room temperature (23 °C). To test the linear extrapolation assumed by the Arrhenius approach, we conducted ultrasensitive oxygen consumption measurements from 110 °C to room temperature for the two butyl materials. The results indicated that linear extrapolation of the high temperature CSR results for Butyl-A was reasonable whereas a significant curvature to a lower activation energy was observed for Butyl-B below 80 °C. Using the oxygen consumption results to extrapolate the CSR results from 80 °C to 23 °C resulted in the conclusion that Butyl-B would actually degrade much faster than Butyl-A at 23 °C, the opposite of the earlier conclusion based solely on extrapolation of the high-temperature CSR results. Since samples of both materials that had aged in the field for ∼20 years at 23 °C were available, it was possible to check the predictions using compression set measurements made on the field materials. The comparisons were in accord with the extrapolated predictions made using the ultrasensitive oxygen consumption measurements, underscoring the power of this extrapolation approach.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 74 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4294 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - We demonstrate that high-Z material can be detected and located in three dimensions using radiographs formed by cosmic-ray muons. Detection of high-Z material hidden inside large volume of ordinary cargo is an important and timely task given the danger associated with illegal transport of uranium and heavier elements. Existing radiography techniques are inefficient for shielded material, often expensive and involve radiation hazards, real and perceived. We recently demonstrated that radiographs can be formed using cosmic-ray muons [K. N. Borozdin et al., Nature (London) 422, 277 (2003)]. Here, we show that compact, high-Z objects can be detected and located in three dimensions with muon radiography. The natural flux of cosmic-ray muons [P. K. F. Grieder, Cosmic Rays at Earth (Elsevier, New York, 2001)], approximately 10 000 m-2 min-1, can form useful images in ∼1 min, using large-area muon detectors like those used in high-energy physics. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The target plasmas under consideration, field-reversed configurations (FRCs), have the required closed-field-line topology and are translatable and compressible. Our goal is to form high-density (10[sup 17] cm[sup -3]) FRCs on the field-reversed experiment-liner (FRX-L) device, inside a 36 cm long, 6.2 cm radius theta coil, with 5 T peak magnetic field and an azimuthal electric field as high as 1 kV/cm. FRCs have been formed with an equilibrium density n[sub e]≈(1 to 2)×10[sup 16] cm[sup -3], T[sub e]+T[sub i]≈250 eV, and excluded flux ≈2 to 3 mWb. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

A detailed discussion of both the neutronic and chemical considerations is provided, in support of the choice of the material of cell construction for both structural and dynamical experiments. The discussion of this suite of equipment also includes a detailed design of a hybrid high-vacuum Schlenk line for sample preparation. These cells were specifically designed to study hydrogen fluoride but may be used for other species that exhibit similar chemical reactivity. Background considerations for liquid diffraction experiments are also discussed and show that in designing cells for liquid samples, or samples that contain a large structurally amorphous fraction, crystalline sample containment affords far more tractable data analysis. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

This characterization is given in terms of electromagnetic simulation data, as obtained from a finite-difference, time-domain code, and a lumped element circuit model. The simulation data provides insight into the field structure within the cavity; the circuit model provides a simple, yet accurate set of design and analysis formulas that relate resonant frequency, voltage levels and power levels to the geometrical and material parameters of the cavity. To validate the claims made from the simulation data and circuit model, experimental data is also provided and a favorable comparison among all data sets is shown. It is concluded that the cavity under consideration can be made to resonate at low frequencies, without increasing the overall size of the cavity. Even though the price in doing so is a reduction in cavity Q and electro-optical crystal voltage, this split-ringed EOM is well suited to an efficient thermal management scheme. Guidance is given on how to optimize the cavity in terms of voltage, Q, power levels, and voltage levels. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The system is optimized for the use of sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy to probe surface species in situ during the reactions. The system allows wide-ranging working conditions: a pressure range between 4×10[sup -10] and 760 Torr and a temperature range between 200 and 1200 K. Rigid and reproducible sample positioning as well as precise temperature control can be achieved by compact designs of a sample holder and a sample mount incorporating ultrahigh vacuum compatible plugs. The performance of the system is demonstrated here by monitoring surface intermediates over time during cyclohexene catalytic reactions using a Pt(111) single crystal and sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

A method of reducing these poling-induced tensile stresses is devised in the present study. This is achieved by dividing the poled region into blocks of poled region separated by bands of unpoled region. The stress field can further be modified by changing (1) the elastic constants of the bands of unpoled region, and (2) the geometry of the interface between the poled region and the end margin from a conventional flat plane to a curved one. The numerical simulation results are presented.

Concentrations of each defect were simulated with a C programming code. The mobilities of protons, oxygen ions, and electrons were evaluated from partial conductivities. Hydrogen permeation equations derived from chemical diffusion theory were solved by a numerical modeling method. Accurate predictions of the hydrogen permeation flux were possible only when the functional dependence of ionic/electronic conductivity on both hydrogen and oxygen partial pressure was known. The dependence of hydrogen permeation flux on hydrogen potential difference agrees with the PH2 dependence of electronic conductivity. Hydrogen permeation flux calculated for 1 mm SrCe0.95Y0.05O3−d was ≈1.50×10−9 mol/cm2 s under ΔPH2 (=10−7–1 atm), PO2 (=10−24–10−12 atm) with the same PH2O (=0.03 atm) on both sides at 973 K.

Distinct growth processes occur, depending primarily on temperature and oxygen pressure. The temperature dependence of these growth regimes has been systematically determined for a slightly reduced crystal of medium-blue color. At high-temperature, TiO2 growth occurs by pure step flow without the nucleation of new islands. At relatively low-temperatures, crystal growth proceeds by two-dimensional islands nucleating and spreading laterally. In this layer-by-layer growth regime, the surface periodically oscillates between structures with 1 × 1 and 1 × 2 periodicity. The threshold temperature above which island nucleation does not occur depends upon the local terrace width. For a range of temperatures around the threshold, nucleation occurs on wide terraces but not on narrow terraces. We demonstrate how to use the different growth regimes to efficiently increase a crystal’s oxygen content, smooth its surface, and synthesize island arrays and stacks.

At 140 K, SO2 adsorbs molecularly on TiC(0 0 1). Ti C interactions prevent strong bonding between the Ti centers and the SO2 molecule. The heat of adsorption of SO2 is in the range of 13–16 kcal/mol and most of the molecules desorb below room temperature. A fraction of the molecules undergoes full dissociation into S and O adatoms. The participation of the surface C sites in the dissociation reaction is a key element for the energetics of this process. Our results show that C can participate directly in desulfurization reactions on carbides instead of being a simple spectator or site blocker.

The data indicate that the Subandean Zone has not experienced vertical axis rotation since the upper Oligocene, whereas the coast and the Western Cordillera record a coherent pattern of counterclockwise rotations emplaced in the last 10 Ma. This pattern can best be explained by two competing hypotheses: (1) a propagation in rotations from the Bolivian Orocline toward the north or (2) a more punctual and widespread event linked to subduction of the Nazca Ridge that caused the rotations. On the basis of the time-space relationship of paleomagnetic rotations, deformation, magmatism and Nazca-South America plate convergence, the latter appears more likely. Moreover, because the rotations north of the Abancay deflection (∼15.5°S) are synchronous with deformation and exhumation, they indicate that major mountain building in the Peruvian Andes has occurred since 10 Ma. Finally, we suggest that a succession of aseismic ridge subduction events played an important role in shaping the modern topography of the Andean chain.

This fifth-order PDE has exact solutions in terms of an arbitrary number of superposed pulsons with a geodesic Hamiltonian dynamics that is known to be integrable in the two-body case N = =2. Numerical simulations show that the pulsons are stable, dominate the initial value problem, and scatter elastically. These characteristics are reminiscent of solitons in integrable systems. But after demonstrating the nonexistence of a suitable Lagrangian or bi-Hamiltonian structure and obtaining negative results from Painlevé analysis and the Wahlquist–Estabrook method, we assert that this fifth-order PDE is not integrable.

The catalyst surface structure and the mobility of adsorbed species are key ingredients that control activity. Catalytic selectivity is the focus of research in the foreseeable future to develop environmentally benign chemical processes that approach 100% selectivity. The catalyst surface structure, selective site blocking, bifunctional catalysis, and oxide–metal interfaces have been recognized as some of the features of reaction selectivity. New two-dimensional model catalyst systems are being fabricated by electron beam and photolithographies for molecular studies of selectivity. New methods are employed to develop three-dimensional high surface area catalysts with precise control of metal particle size, surface structure, and location in the mezopores.

T1 - Effects of water films and sliding speed on the frictional behavior of truck disc brake materials JO - Tribology International JF - Tribology International Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 36 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 709 SN - 0301679X AB - Friction materials for car and truck disc brake pads are typically complex composites containing metals, ceramics, and polymers that are designed to provide stable frictional performance over a range of vehicle operating conditions, exhibit acceptable wear life, and produce minimal noise and vibration. Despite the fact that brakes must operate under a variety of environmental conditions, most standardized and developmental laboratory tests for brake materials are conducted under dry sliding conditions. Studies of wet braking behavior are rare in the tribology literature. The present work investigated the frictional behavior of commercial truck brake pad materials sliding on gray cast iron simulated brake discs in the presence of water films. An instrumented sub-scale testing machine equipped with a water spray was used. There was a significant effect of water films on reducing pad/disc friction compared with dry tests on the same materials and at the same sliding speeds. The friction coefficient under water spray conditions was inversely proportional to the square of the sliding speed. The reduction of friction with increasing speed was principally due to hydrodynamic effects, although the water spray also reduced frictional heating and changed the nature of the transfer film formation on the cast iron contact surface. Frictional recovery occurred within seconds after the water spray was removed.

A new two-channel photon time-stamping system coupled with atomic force microscopic (AFM), Raman spectroscopic, and imaging microscopy was developed and applied to record Raman intensity fluctuation trajectories at sub-microsecond resolution correlated with in situ characterization of the nanoparticle clusters. Our experimental results suggest that the nanoconfinement of the local electromagnetic-field enhancement and the interaction of the local field with the molecules, presumably under rotational motions, result in nano-Raman fluctuations. The SERS spectral fluctuation was pertinent to the nanoscale local enhancement and local interaction of the molecules with the surface when the surface coverage of the nanoparticles was less than a monolayer, and the nanoscale interstitial space controlled the finite number of molecules to contribute the microscopic Raman signal collected from a diffraction-limited focus spot. The fluctuation amplitude significantly decreased with the number of molecules confined at the nanolocal field. The nano-SERS fluctuation dynamics were both photo-induced and spontaneous for rhodamine 6G, but only the photo-induced component was observable for cytochrome c. The fluctuation dynamics were also found to be highly inhomogeneous at interstitial sites with heterogeneous geometries. To interpret the observed nano-SERS fluctuation dynamics, we used computer simulation of optical multiple scattering, based on multi-sphere scattering Mie theory, and rotational diffusion of molecules at an interstitial site, based on a random walk in orientation space.

Our results for a silicon cantilever under vacuum show that the frequency varies in direct proportion to the temperature. The linear response is explained by the decrease in Young''s modulus with increasing the temperature. However, when the cantilever is bimaterial, the response is nonlinear due to differential thermal expansion. Resonance response as a function of pressure shows three different regions, which correspond to molecular flow regime, transition regime, and viscous regime. The deflection in flow transition regime resulting from thermal variation has minimal effect on frequency. The frequency variation of the cantilever is caused mainly by changes in the mean free path of gas molecules.

This result is unexpected, as IC-AFM has previously only been considered as a probe of out-of-plane properties. Until now, AFM measurements of nanoscale in-plane properties have employed contact mode techniques. In-plane property measurements are possible with intermittent contact AFM because there is a small but significant component of tip motion parallel to the sample surface. This in-plane component of tip displacement is virtually universal in AFM, implying that oscillating-tip techniques generally are sensitive to in-plane material properties. We present a simple Hertzian model of intermittent-contact AFM that includes such an in-plane displacement.

In this paper, gelatin coated mica surfaces are shown to be suitable for immobilizing and imaging both gram positive, Staphylococcus aureus, and gram negative, Escherichia coli, bacteria in both air and liquid environments. Gelatin coated surfaces are shown to be superior to poly-l-lysine coated surfaces that are commonly used for the immobilization of cells. This cell immobilization technique is being developed primarily for live cell imaging of Rhodopseudomonas palustris. The genome of R. palustris has been sequenced and the organism is the target of intensive studies aimed at understanding genome function. Images of R. palustris grown both aerobically and anaerobically in liquid media are presented. Images in liquid media show the bacteria is rod shaped and smooth while images in air show marked irregularity and folding of the surface. Significant differences in the vertical dimension are also apparent with the height of the bacteria in liquid being substantially greater than images taken in air. In air immobilized bacterial flagella are clearly seen while in liquid this structure is not visible. Additionally, significant morphological differences are observed that depend on the method of bacterial growth.

Though Knudsen forces are extremely small in most cases involving microcantilevers, there exist situations where these forces can be significant and may be important in atomic force microscopy and in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The criteria for the presence of Knudsen forces are outlined and an analytical expression in the form of a linear function of the pressure is given for the force in the free molecular regime. The experimental results display peaks in the transitional regime while varying linearly in the molecular regime.

As an analyte absorbs into the coating, the coating can swell or contract causing an in-plane stress at the associated MC surface. However, much of the stress upon absorption of an analyte may be lost through slippage of the chemical coatings on the MC surface, or through relaxation of the coating in a manner that minimizes stress to the cantilever. Structural modification of MC chemical sensors can improve the stress transduction between the chemical coating and the MC. Surfaces of silicon MC were modified with focused ion beam milling. Sub-micron channels were milled across the width of the MC. Responses of the nanostructured, coated MCs to 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and a series of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were compared to smooth, coated MCs. The analytical figures of merit for the nanostructured, coated MCs in the sensing of VOCs were found to be better than the unstructured MCs. A comparison is made with a previously reported method of creating disordered nanostructured MC surfaces.

We report for the first time, the adsorption–desorption characteristics of TNT from a Si-microcantilever exposed to vapors of TNT. It was observed that TNT readily sticks to the exposed Si surface with the adsorption kinetics showing an initial exponential behavior followed by roughly linear kinetics. It was also observed that for cantilever temperatures close to room temperature, TNT desorbs spontaneously from the surface with decaying exponential kinetics. Based on the known equilibrium partial vapor pressures of TNT, the “effective” sticking coefficient for the silicon oxide surface at room temperature under the experimental conditions was calculated to be about 0.02. This information can be very useful in the design of sensors and that of vapor-delivery systems.

Images were obtained using both single 50 μm×50 μm microcantilever IR detectors and arrays of microcantilever detectors. Thermal radiation from the target object was imaged onto the detector and the resulting temperature change caused microcantilever bending due to the bimaterial effect. This micromechanical bending was measured using two different non-contact optical readout techniques and IR images were obtained. A smaller size (20 μm×20 μm) microcantilever IR detector was also used to capture IR images of near room temperature objects.

Our approach combines principles of photothermal IR spectroscopy with ultrasensitive microcantilever (MC) thermal detectors. We have obtained photothermal IR spectra for DNA and RNA bases and for Bacillus Cereus (an anthrax simulant) in the wavelength range of 2.5–14.5 μm (4000–690 cm−1). The measurements are accomplished by absorbing biological materials directly on a MC thermal detector. The main advantage of the developed μ-CalSpec is its unprecedented sensitivity as compared to any of the previously explored IR techniques, including FTIR and photothermal FTIR methods. Our results demonstrate that <10−9 g of a biological sample is sufficient to obtain its characteristic μ-CalSpec spectrum that contains information-rich chemical (vibrational) signatures. This opens up a new opportunity to create inexpensive high-throughput analytical systems for biochemical detection.

Photonic bandgap crystals (PBC) are fabricated by arranging sub-wavelength alternating materials with high and low dielectric constants to produce a desired effective bandgap. Photons with energy within this bandgap cannot propagate through the structure. This property has made these structures useful for microwave applications such as frequency-selective surfaces, narrowband filters, and antenna substrates when the dimensions are on the order of millimeters. They are also potentially very useful, albeit much more difficult to fabricate, in the visible/near-infrared region for various applications when the smallest dimensions are at the edge of current micro-lithography fabrication tools. We micro-fabricated suspended free standing micro-structure bridge waveguides to serve as substrates for PBC features. These micro-bridges were fabricated onto commercial silicon-on-insulator wafers. Nanoscale periodic features were fabricated onto these micro-structure bridges to form a tunable system. When this combined structure is perturbed, such as mechanical deflection of the suspended composite structure at resonance, there can be a realtime shift in the material effective bandgap due to slight geometric alterations due to the induced mechanical stress. Extremely high resonance frequencies/device speeds are possible with these very small dimension MEMS.

In particular, the tribological properties of these films are rather intriguing and can be strongly influenced by the test conditions and environment. In this paper, a series of model experiments are performed in high vacuum and with various added gases to elucidate the influence of different test environments on the tribological behavior of three DLC films. Specifically, the behavior of a hydrogen-free film produced by a cathodic arc process and two highly hydrogenated films produced by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition were studied. Flats and balls used in these experiments were coated with DLC and tested in a pin-on-disc machine under a load of 1 N and at constant rotational frequency. With a low background pressure, in the 10−6 Pa range, the highly hydrogenated films exhibited a friction coefficient of less than 0.01, whereas the hydrogen-free film gave a friction coefficient of approximately 0.6. Adding oxygen or hydrogen to the experimental environment changed the friction to some extent. However, admission of water vapor into the test chamber caused large changes: the friction coefficient decreased drastically for the hydrogen-free DLC film, whereas it increased slightly for one of the highly hydrogenated films. These results indicate that water molecules play a prominent role in the frictional behavior of DLC films—most notably for hydrogen-free films but also for highly hydrogenated films.

JO - Cell Proliferation JF - Cell Proliferation Y1 - 2003/10/02/Oct2003 Supplement 1 VL - 36 M3 - Article SP - 33 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09607722 AB - The majority of human breast carcinomas exhibit luminal characteristics and as such, are most probably derived from progenitor cells within the luminal epithelial compartment. This has been subdivided recently into at least three luminal subtypes based on gene expression patterns. The value of knowing the cellular origin of individual tumours is clear and should aid in designing effective therapies. To do this, however, we need strategies aimed at defining the nature of stem and progenitor cell populations in the normal breast. In this review, we will discuss our technical approach for delineating the origin of the epithelial cell types. A major step forward was the purification of each cell type by the application of immunomagnetic cell sorting based on expression of lineage-specific surface antigens. We then developed chemically defined media that could support either the luminal epithelial or the myoepithelial cell phenotype in primary cultures. Having succeeded in continuous propagation presumably without loss of markers, we could show that a subset of the luminal epithelial cells could convert to myoepithelial cells, signifying the possible existence of a progenitor cell population. By combining the information on marker expression and in situ localization with immunomagnetic sorting and subsequent immortalization, we have identifed and isolated a cytokeratin 19-positive suprabasal putative precursor cell in the luminal epithelial compartment and established representative cell lines. This suprabasal-derived epithelial cell line is able to generate both itself and differentiated luminal epithelial and myoepithelial cells, and in addition, is able to form elaborate terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU)-like structures within a reconstituted basement membrane. As more than 90% of breast cancers arise in TDLUs and more than 90% are also cytokeratin 19-positive, we suggest that this cell population contains a breast-cancer progenitor.

The findings that phi29 virions can be assembled with the exclusive use of cloned gene products have bred a thought that phi29 has a potential to be a gene delivery vector since it is a nonpathogenic virus. gp12 of bacterial virus phi29 has been reported to be the anti-receptor that is responsible for binding the virus particle to the host cell. We cloned the gene coding gp12, overexpressed it in Escherichia coli, and purified the gene product to study the properties and functions of gp12 in virus assembly. According to SDS PloyAcrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis and N-terminal sequencing, recombinant gp12 isolated from E. coli had a molecular mass of 80 kDa, and 24 amino acids at N-terminal were cleaved after expression. The purified recombinant gp12 was incorporated into phi29 particles and converted the gp12-lacking assembly intermediates of phi29 into infectious virions in vitro. This purified protein gp12 was able to compete with infectious phi29 virions for binding to the host cell, thus inhibiting the infection by phi29. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) analysis and sedimentation studies revealed that recombinant gp12 products were assembled into biologically active dimers. Analysis of the dose–response curve showed that 12 dimeric gp12 complexes were assembled onto viral particles and that each virion contained 24 copies of gp12 molecules. The results provide a basis for future research into bacteriophage–host interaction by modifying the anti-receptor protein. The ultimate goal is to re-target the bacteriophage to new host cells for the purpose of gene delivery.

Although the experiment was for technical reasons not completed, an analysis of the feasibility is instructive. X-ray lasers are potentially a useful source for this type of experiment as they have high brightness, short pulse duration, and low divergence. Thomson scatter has proved to be a powerful diagnostic technique in low density plasmas and the extension of this diagnostic technique to shorter wavelengths in the XUV region would allow probing of plasmas at higher densities where classical plasma models such as the Debye-Hückel model breakdown. The authors show in their analysis that, at current output levels, self-emission may hamper attempts to probe high-density plasmas. However, a range of interesting plasmas can he probed which would be too optically thick for optical probing.

The harnessing of electrostatic charge in Leyden jars (early capacitors) enabled the controlled production of sparks and pulsed arcs. A contemporary introduction to sparks and arcs gives the foundation for critically assessing the early development, when observation and discovery of phenomena were still far from understanding. The modern development of discharge physics can be traced back to the 18th century. Notably, and generally unnoticed by the scientific community until today, Joseph Priestley observed cathode erosion and film deposition of cathode material as early as 1766.

Humphry Davy is often credited with the discovery of the arc discharge, which later led to the development of the carbon arc lamp. Indeed, as early as 1800, he obtained short pulsed arcs with his Voltaic pile. Independently, and earlier than Davy in the sense of continuous discharges, the Russian Vasilii Petrov of St. Petersburg made carbon arcs in 1802. Petrov used a pile of 4200 electrochemical cells to drive what was the most powerful discharge at that time. Petrov's publication of 1803 appeared only in Russian, and his work was ignored and forgotten for over a century. Davy pursued highly successful electrochemical experiments and was unaware of Petrov's work. He increased the size of his battery in several steps, which led to increasingly powerful discharges, most likely an undesired side effect. After 1808, using the new battery of the Royal Institution, Davy demonstrated continuous arc discharges. The exact dates and circumstances of early arc demonstrations around 1810 are still the subject of research, but later arc experiments such as those at the London Institution of 1821 are well documented. While Petrov could claim priority for continuous carbon arcs, it was Davy who made a lasting impact on further development.

Here, we expressed in Chinese hamster V79 cells green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged human TRF1, and found that a major fraction of GFP-TRF1 bound to ITs is diffusionally mobile. This fraction strongly decreases after treatment of cells with wortmannin, a protein kinase inhibitor, and this drug also increases the frequency of chromosome aberrations. Ionizing radiation does not induce detectable translocation of GFP-TRF1 to the sites of random double-strand breaks visualized using antibodies against histone ?-H2AX. TRF1 is known to be eliminated from telomeres by overexpression of tankyrase 1 which induces TRF1 poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. We transfected V79 cells by plasmid encoding tankyrase 1 and found that the frequency of chromosome rearrangements is increased in these cells independently of their treatment by IR. Taken together, our results suggest that TRF1 is involved in sequence-specific protection of internal nontelomeric (TTAGGG)n repeats.Oncogene (2003) 22, 6690-6698. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1206745 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - EHD micromixing reactor for particle synthesis JO - Powder Technology JF - Powder Technology Y1 - 2003/10/02/ VL - 135-136 M3 - Article SP - 302 SN - 00325910 AB - This paper presents a liquid-phase approach to particle production using electrohydrodynamic (EHD) mixing. EHD flows are used to disperse one miscible, reactive fluid into another, based on the capability to develop significant fluid velocities and turbulence by charge injection into dielectric fluids. Alcohol solvents, commonly used for sol–gel reactions, are very suitable for applying this EHD mixing approach. The rapid micromixing in the vicinity of the electrified injector allows the liquid-phase reactions to be conducted uniformly at high rates. This approach allows continuous production of non-agglomerated, monodispersed, submicron-sized particles.Experiments aimed at investigating the capability for EHD mixing to improve particle production were conducted in a continuous-flow system using the hydrolysis and condensation of zirconium tetra-n-butoxide in alcohols. Because of the rapid kinetics of this reaction system, the quality of ultrafine particles produced is greatly affected by the degree of early-stage mixing. Mixing of the reactant streams was shown to improve with increasing applied voltage, and a corresponding improvement in the homogeneity of the produced particles was determined. The EHD mixing approach was shown to have several possible advantages in comparison with batch reactions. The reaction can be conducted to produce quality particles at higher concentrations, and the particles produced by EHD mixing are more homogeneous. In addition, under the rapid micromixing conditions, it is possible to manipulate nucleation rates through the introduction of concentrated reactants, resulting in the capability to produce significantly smaller particles. This study indicates that reactors utilizing EHD mixing could be used for continuous, rapid production of homogeneous, ultrafine particles.

T1 - α[sub 4]β[sub 1] Integrin Affinity Changes Govern Cell Adhesion. JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2003/10/03/ VL - 278 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 38174 EP - 38182 SN - 00219258 AB - Integrin α[sub 4]β[sub 1] is a receptor for vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and fibronectin. It is important in lymphopoiesis, inflammatory recruitment of leukocytes, and other situations that require cell adhesion to the vascular endothelium. The avidity of the cells expressing α[sub 4]β[sub 1] integrin can be rapidly changed by chemokines and chemoattractants. Different mechanisms, including changes in the number of interacting molecules due to the alteration of the receptor topology or changes in the affinity of the individual bonds, have been proposed to explain the nature of these fast changes in avidity. Recently, we described a fluorescent LDV-containing small molecule, which we used to monitor the affinity changes on live cells in real time (Chigaev, A., Blenc, A. M., Braaten, J. V., Kumaraswamy, N., Kepley, C. L., Andrews, R. P., Oliver, J. M., Edwards, B. S., Prossnitz, E. R., Larson, R. S. et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 4867045678). Here we show that the affinity of the small molecule probe as well as the native ligand vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 varies in parallel when the integrin is modulated with divalent cations and that the affinity modulation leads to the changes in cell avidity. Using formyl peptide receptor-transfected U937 cells, we further show that the time course of avidity changes in response to the receptor activation coincides with the time course of the affinity changes. Taken together, these data are consistent with the idea that affinity regulation is a major factor that governs the avidity of cell adhesion mediated by the α[sub 4] integrin.

T1 - The 2.2 A˚ Resolution Structure of RpiB/AlsB from Escherichia coli Illustrates a New Approach to the Ribose-5-phosphate Isomerase Reaction JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2003/10/03/ VL - 332 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1083 SN - 00222836 AB - Ribose-5-phosphate isomerases (EC 5.3.1.6) interconvert ribose 5-phosphate and ribulose 5-phosphate. This reaction permits the synthesis of ribose from other sugars, as well as the recycling of sugars from nucleotide breakdown. Two unrelated types of enzyme can catalyze the reaction. The most common, RpiA, is present in almost all organisms (including Escherichia coli), and is highly conserved. The second type, RpiB, is present in some bacterial and eukaryotic species and is well conserved. In E. coli, RpiB is sometimes referred to as AlsB, because it can take part in the metabolism of the rare sugar, allose, as well as the much more common ribose sugars. We report here the structure of RpiB/AlsB from E. coli, solved by multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing, and refined to 2.2 A˚ resolution. RpiB is the first structure to be solved from pfam02502 (the RpiB/LacAB family). It exhibits a Rossmann-type αβα-sandwich fold that is common to many nucleotide-binding proteins, as well as other proteins with different functions. This structure is quite distinct from that of the previously solved RpiA; although both are, to some extent, based on the Rossmann fold, their tertiary and quaternary structures are very different. The four molecules in the RpiB asymmetric unit represent a dimer of dimers. Active-site residues were identified at the interface between the subunits, such that each active site has contributions from both subunits. Kinetic studies indicate that RpiB is nearly as efficient as RpiA, despite its completely different catalytic machinery. The sequence and structural results further suggest that the two homologous components of LacAB (galactose-6-phosphate isomerase) will compose a bi-functional enzyme; the second activity is unknown.

Major phases of the waste forms are sodalite and glass. A combination of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) were used to study the multiphase nature of these waste forms. Cesium was found to be present in the higher loaded waste forms in a cesium aluminosilicate phase with an analcime structure and a 1:1 Si:Al ratio, a pollucite phase, and also in the glass phase. The glass phase contains the majority of the cesium at lower loadings, however some pollucite also remains. Cesium was not detected in the sodalite phase of any of the samples.

We have grown biaxially textured magnesium oxide (MgO) films on Hastelloy C276 (HC) substrates by ISD at deposition rates of 20–100 A˚/s. Scanning electron microscopy of the ISD MgO films showed columnar grain structures with a roof-tile-shaped surface. X-ray pole figure analysis revealed that the c-axis of the ISD MgO films is titled at an angle ≈32° from the substrate normal. A small full-width at half maximum of ≈9° was observed for the φ-scan of MgO films. YBCO films were grown on ISD MgO buffered HC substrates by pulsed laser deposition and were determined to be biaxially aligned with the c-axis parallel to the substrate normal. The orientation relationship between the ISD template and the top YBCO film was investigated by X-ray pole figure analysis and transmission electron microscopy. A transport critical current density of Jc=5.5×105 A/cm2 at 77 K in self-field was measured on a YBCO film that was 0.46-μm thick, 4-mm wide, 10-mm long.

After annealing in 18O at 400 °C, secondary-ion mass spectrometry was used to determine oxygen-diffusion profiles and several cation-diffusion profiles within the various layers of the conductors. Oxygenation in the YBCO/LaAlO3 specimen was relatively slow and hours would be required for full oxygenation of the YBCO. Oxygen diffusion was rapid in the coated conductor. It was dominated by diffusion along a–b planes and full oxygenation of a 0.3-μm-thick YBCO layer was achieved in several minutes. Cation interdiffusion was limited in the YBCO/LaAlO3 specimen, but was significant within the coated conductor. Although Cu diffused out of the superconductor, an SrTiO3 layer between textured MgO and YBCO limited diffusion of cations from the various substrate layers into the superconductor.

The three concentric superconducting phases are made of BSCCO-2223 HTS tapes, separated by layers of cold-dielectric tape. A copper braid is added as the grounding shield. The completed tri-axial cable is enclosed in a flexible cryostat. Cooling of the cable and terminations is achieved by liquid nitrogen flowing through the annulus between the cable and the cryostat. The terminations used in the cable tests are cooled by a separate liquid nitrogen stream. The resulting three-phase, cold dielectric, cable and termination design is nearly as compact as the single-phase, co-axial design developed previously by Southwire/ORNL and represents the highest known cable current density achievable in an electric AC power cable. DC testing of the 5-m cable includes VI curves for each of the concentric HTS phases, cable heat loads at varying DC currents, liquid nitrogen flow-pressure measurements, and over-current tests. AC testing of the cable includes ac loss measurements, induced-current in the Cu-shield measurements and operation at the line voltage test. The ac losses are measured calorimetrically by measuring the temperature differential of the coolant across the cable length due to the ac loss in the superconductors. Both balanced and un-balanced currents among the three phases are used in ac loss and induced current measurements.

By periodically modulating the diameter of a gas-filled hollow waveguide, the phase mismatch normally present between the laser light and the generated soft x-ray light can be partially compensated. This makes it possible to use neon gas as the nonlinear medium to coherently convert light up to the water window, illustrating that techniques of nonlinear optics can be applied effectively in the soft x-ray region of the spectrum. These results advance the prospects for compact coherent soft x-ray sources for applications in biomicroscopy and in chemical spectroscopy.

The high CTE anisotropy is due to the existence of prominent atom chains along the c-axis. Ternary alloying additions that effectively stretch the atom chains are likely to reduce the bonding directionality/strength and CTE anisotropy. First-principles local-density-functional calculations were carried out for two alloy systems, MoNb4Si3 and Mo4VSi3. Indeed, we find a significant reduction of the CTE ratio to a value of 1.5 for MoNb4Si3 and a value close to 1.0 for Mo4VSi3. The decrease in the CTE anisotropy mainly comes from the reduction in CTE in the c-direction. While a conventional approach to reduce the CTE would involve an increase in lattice rigidity by increasing the bond strength, our strategy focuses on the reduction of driving force for thermal expansion by decreasing the bond directionality.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2003/10/06/ VL - 83 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 2781 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - Performance and reliability of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) components can be enhanced dramatically through the incorporation of protective thin-film coatings. Current-generation MEMS devices prepared by the lithographie-galvanoformung-abformung (LIGA) technique employ transition metals such as Ni, Cu, Fe, or alloys thereof, and hence lack stability in oxidizing, corrosive, and/or high-temperature environments. Fabrication of a superhard self-lubricating coating based on a ternary boride compound AlMgB[sub 14] described in this letter has great potential in protective coating technology for LIGA microdevices. Nanoindentation tests show that the hardness of AlMgB[sub 14] films prepared by pulsed laser deposition ranges from 45 GPa to 51 GPa, when deposited at room temperature and 573 K, respectively. Extremely low friction coefficients of 0.04–0.05, which are thought to result from a self-lubricating effect, have also been confirmed by nanoscratch tests on the AlMgB[sub 14] films. Transmission electron microscopy studies show that the as-deposited films are amorphous, regardless of substrate temperature; however, analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectra suggests that the higher substrate temperature facilitates the formation of the B[sub 12] icosahedral framework, therefore leading to the higher hardness. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Layers of this alloy were formed by the sequential implantation of Ge and N ions followed by pulsed laser melting and rapid thermal annealing. The mutual passivation effect results in the electrical deactivation of Ge[sub Ga] donors (Ge on Ga sites) and suppression of the N[sub As] (N on As sites) induced band gap narrowing through the formation of Ge[sub Ga]–N[sub As] nearest neighbor pairs. These results in combination with the analogous effect observed in Si-doped GaN[sub x]As[sub 1-x] provide clear evidence of the general nature of the mutual passivation phenomenon in highly mismatched semiconductor alloys. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The strong diameter dependence of thermal conductivity in nanowires was ascribed to the increased phonon-boundary scattering and possible phonon spectrum modification. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The crystal structures were solved with single-crystal X-ray and electron diffraction. The crystals of 1 and 2 are tetragonal. Single-crystal X-ray data: YNiGa[sub 3]Ge, a = 4.1748(10) Å, c = 23.710(8) Å, V = 413.24(2) ų, 14/mmm, Z= 4; Gd[sub 3]Ni[sub 3]Ga[sub 8]Ge[sub 3], a = 4.1809(18) Å, c = 17.035(11) Å, V = 297.8(3) ų, P4/mmm, Z=1. Both compounds feature square nets of Ga atoms. The distribution of Ga and Ge atoms in the REMGa[sub 3]Ge was determined with neutron diffraction. The neutron experiments revealed that in 1 the Ge atoms are specifically located at the 4e crystallographic site, while Ga atoms are at 4d and 8g. The crystal structures of these compounds are related and could be derived from the consecutive stacking of disordered [MGa][sub 2] puckered layers, monatomic RE-Ge planes and [MGa[sub 4]Ge[sub 2]] slabs. Complex superstructures with modulations occurring in the ab-plane and believed to be associated with the square nets of Ga atoms were found by electron diffraction. The magnetic measurements show antiferromagnetic ordering of the moments located on the RE atoms at low temperature, and Curie-Weiss behavior at higher temperatures with the values of μ[sub eff] close to those expected for RE[sup 3+] free ions.

Initially, we present a framework in which all expressions derived are formally exact since no truncations are introduced. The objective is to explore the general structure of the equations under the most unrestricted conditions, including the possibility that the electronic basis is dependent both on the nuclear coordinates and on time. We then derive an application of the theory applicable to cases of interaction with strong time-dependent fields. The method truncates the electronic basis only after the time-dependent interaction is taken into account in the electronic wave functions. This leads to theory which is similar to a Born–Oppenheimer-type truncation within the interaction picture. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The photodissociation products are C[sub 3]H[sub 5]+CO+C[sub 3]H[sub 5], and the isomerization dynamics of C[sub 3]H[sub 5] are the focus of this paper. Electronic structure calculations are used to define the potential energy surface, while a two-step phase space theory model predicts excitation in the CO product. The vibrational energy distribution of the CO product is not described by this statistical distribution, and is more excited than that observed in the analogous dissociation of acetone. The translational energy distribution of CO indicates an exit barrier on the potential energy surface. Contrary to expectations based on the photodissociation of other aliphatic ketones, the hydrocarbon products are not cyclopropyl radicals. Instead, the excited dicyclopropyl ketone undergoes a ring-opening isomerization to form diallyl ketone, followed by dissociation producing allyl radicals and carbon monoxide. Some of the allyl radicals have sufficient internal energy to decompose to allene+H. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The room-temperature isotherm for each polymorph was computed in the pressure interval 0≤p≤10.6 GPa and was used to extract the initial isothermal bulk modulus K[sub o] and its pressure derivative using equations of state employed previously in experimental studies of the β-HMX isotherm. The complete elastic tensor for each polymorph was calculated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. For the case of β-HMX, the calculated elastic tensor is compared to one based on a fit to sound speed data yielding reasonably good agreement. The bulk modulus of β-HMX obtained from equation-of-state fits to the room-temperature isotherm agrees well with that determined from the complete elastic tensor and from volume fluctuations at atmospheric pressure. However, the value of K[sub o] obtained from the isotherm is sensitive to choice of equation of state fitting form and to the weighting scheme employed in the fit. Based upon simulation results and reanalysis of experimental data, the commonly accepted value of the initial isothermal bulk modulus for β-HMX should be revised from a value of ∼12.4–13.5 GPa to ∼15–16 GPa. The present report provides the first accurate determination of the elastic tensors and isotropic moduli for α- and δ-HMX. Predicted values of the shear moduli for α- and δ-HMX are more than a factor of 2 smaller than for β-HMX. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The goal was to examine any deviations from continuum flow behavior and to compare and contrast the Poiseuille and electro-osmotic flow situations. The fluid was composed of cationic counterions and nonpolar monatomic solvent molecules. The cylindrical surface of the pore wall was represented by a stochastic scattering boundary condition. The lack of any surface roughness and the computational efficiency of the fluid model enabled the velocity profile near the wall to be measured at very high spatial resolution. The simulation results indicate that both Poiseuille and electro-osmotic flow conform to continuum transport theories except in the first monolayer of fluid at the pore wall. The apparent viscosity in this region was highly nonuniform and exhibited singularities. Despite this, the viscosity profiles obtained from Poiseuille and electro-osmotic flow were in good mutual agreement at all locations. The singularities were caused by a local maximum in the solvent and counterion velocity profiles occurring at the edge of the first monolayer of liquid. This apparent channeling of fluid near the pore wall has been observed in previous studies of Poiseuille flow. The exact cause is not clear, but it may be due to cooperative transport of the fluid molecules facilitated by two-dimensional ordering at the wall. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Many vibronic bands, which were not resolved in previous photoelectron studies, are identified in the present measurement. As observed in the HeI photoelectron spectra of N2O, the PFI-PE spectra for N2O+(A2Σ+ and C2Σ+) are dominated by excitation of the ν1+ (symmetric stretching) and ν3+ (antisymmetric stretching) modes, along with weak bands due to excitation of both even and odd quanta of the ν2+ (bending) mode. The simulation of the rotational contours resolved in the PFI-PE bands associated with excitation to N2O+(A2Σ+, ν1+ = 0-1, ν2+ = 0, and ν3+ = 0-1) has revealed the orbital angular momentum of the outgoing photoelectrons and yielded accurate ionization energies for the formation of these states from N2O(X1Σ+).

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/10/08/ VL - 107 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 8198 SN - 10895639 AB - The appearance of nonlinearity in multiphonon excitations is compared in the series of [Pt(en)2X2][Pt(en)2](ClO4)4 (X = Cl, Br, I; en = ethylenediamine) mixed-valence, linear-chain, charge-density-wave compounds. This comparison is made for crystals obtained under new synthetic conditions that minimize chemical defects incorporated during crystal growth. The single-crystal resonance Raman spectra collected at 77 K on this series (with natural isotope abundances) show strong red-shifting of the X-Pt-X symmetric stretch overtone peaks for X = Cl, modest red-shifting for X = Br, and no anharmonicity for X = I. When X = Cl, by the sixth overtone of the 35Cl-Pt-35Cl stretch, red shifts significantly larger than 10% of the fundamental frequency are observed. In addition, evolution of spectral line shapes corresponding to formation of dynamically localized vibrational states (intrinsically localized modes) is apparent, even by the second overtone. When X = Br, observed red shifts are less than 7% up to the eighth overtone, and there is no spectral evidence for intrinsically localized modes at 77 K. Further study of X = Br at 4 K yields spectra up to the 11th overtone having similar red shifts and narrower line shapes than at 77 K but provides only very ambiguous indications of resolved combination bands that could correspond to intrinsically localized modes. When X = I, the lack of any observed anharmonicity indicates linear phonon excitations, which likely correspond to highly delocalized small amplitude motions. The series of data presented here demonstrate how nonlinearities in vibrational degrees of freedom, and the corresponding existence of localized modes, can be tuned chemically by adjusting the competing effects of electron delocalization and electron-phonon interactions in low-dimensional materials.

The explanation is based on the idea that the impurity ion, creating an excess positive charge at the copper site, reduces the hole concentration in its vicinity, and this leads to the appearance of a bubble of a an insulating spin-density wave phase around the impurity.

Generation of order, replication of the individual, and evolution of the species all depend on the successful utilization of external energy derived from chemicals and light. The information for reproduction is encoded in nucleic acids, but evolution depends on a limited variability in replication, and proceeds through the selection of individuals with altered biochemistry. Essentially all biochemistry is catalyzed; therefore, altered biochemistry implies altered or new catalysts. In that sense catalysis is the medium of evolution. We propose that a basic property of enzymes, at least as fundamental as reaction rate enhancement, is to adjust the reaction path by altering and eventually optimizing the reversible interchange of chemical, electrical and mechanical energy among themselves and their reactants.

The data show a strong alignment of the spin with the orbital angular momentum, and suggest that the cross section peak corresponds to a spin 14+ resonance at Ec.m.=28.0 MeV. This energy is close to that where a strong peak is also observed in the 0+1+0+2 excitation function. A comparison between the data for these two channels lends some support to recent theoretical calculations of resonance behavior for angular-momentum-mismatched channels in 12C+12C inelastic scattering.

We show that emission in the IR can be achieved in designer polymers in which the effective Coulomb correlation is smaller than that in existing systems. We also show that the structural requirement for having small effective Coulomb correlations is that there exist transverse π-conjugation over a few bonds in addition to longitudinal conjugation with large conjugation lengths.

Problem data and solution variables are expanded using the Polynomial Chaos system. The approach leads to a set of coupled problems for the stochastic modes. Spatial finite-difference discretization of these coupled problems results in a large system of equations, whose dimension necessitates the use of iterative approaches in order to obtain the solution within a reasonable computational time. To accelerate the convergence of the iterative technique, a multigrid method, based on spatial coarsening, is implemented. Numerical experiments show good scaling properties of the method, both with respect to the number of spatial grid points and the stochastic resolution level.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2003/10/10/ VL - 278 IS - 41 M3 - Article SP - 39747 EP - 39754 SN - 00219258 AB - Pulsed EPR spectroscopy was used to explore the structural neighborhood of the semiquinone (SQ) stabilized at the Q[sub i] site of the bc[sub 1] complex of Rhodobacter sphaeroides (EC 1.10.2.2) and to demonstrate that the nitrogen atom of a histidine imidazole group donates an H-bond to the SQ. Crystallographic structures show two different configurations for the binding of ubiquinone at the Q[sub i] site of mitochondrial bc[sub 1] complexes in which histidine (His-201 in bovine sequence) is either a direct H-bond donor or separated by a bridging water. The paramagnetic properties of the SQ formed at the site provide an independent method for studying the liganding of this intermediate species. The antimycin-sensitive SQ formed at the Q[sub i] site by either equilibrium redox titration, reduction of the oxidized complex by ascorbate, or addition of decylubihydroquinone to the oxidized complex in the presence of myxothiazol all showed similar properties. The electron spin echo envelope modulation spectra in the [sup 14]N region were dominated by lines with frequencies at 1.7 and 3.1 MHz. Hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy spectra showed that these were contributed by a single nitrogen. Further analysis showed that the [sup 14]N nucleus was characterized by an isotropic hyperfine coupling of ∼0.8 MHz and a quadrupole coupling constant of ∼0.35 MHz. The nitrogen was identified as the N-∈ or N-δ imidazole nitrogen of a histidine (it is likely to be His-217, or His-201 in bovine sequence). A distance of 2.5-3.1 Å for the O-N distance between the carbonyl of SQ and the nitrogen was estimated. The mechanistic significance is discussed in the context of a dynamic role for the movement of His-217 in proton transfer to the site.

Adsorption isotherm data of lispro and porcine insulin obtained for values of the ACP ranging from 57 to 237 bar were fitted to the Langmuir–Freundlich and the To´th equation. The resulting isotherm parameters, including the equilibrium adsorption constant and the heterogeneity index, were next used for the calculation of distribution functions characterizing the energy of interactions between the adsorbed insulin molecules and the stationary phase. It was observed that increasing the pressure by 180 bar causes a broadening of the distribution functions and a shift of the position of their maximum toward lower interaction energies. These findings suggest that, under high pressures, the insulin molecules interact with the stationary phase in a more diversified way than under low pressures. Additionally, the most probable value of the energy of the insulin–surface interactions becomes lower when the ACP increases. The pressure-induced changes in the interaction of insulin variants with the hydrophobic surface are attributed to a possible conformational flexibility of the molecular structure of this protein.

The sets of isotherm data measured on each one of these three columns could be fitted well by a bi-Langmuir isotherm model. The experimental elution band profiles of mixtures of the 1-indanol isomers were recorded on the three columns. The isotherm model, combined with the equilibrium dispersive model of chromatography, gave calculated profiles that are in excellent agreement with the experimental profiles in all cases investigated. It was found that the value of the inner diameter of the column is an important parameter in the calculation of the isotherm parameters from the measured isotherm data. In order to use isotherm data obtained on one column to account for the phase equilibrium on another one, the inner diameters of these columns must be measured accurately. The diameters of the three columns were all slightly off their nominal value. Without correction, an important systematic error was made on the isotherm data obtained with the microbore column while only negligible errors were made on the data obtained with the other two columns. After due correction for this effect, the relative difference between the isotherm data for the microbore and the semi-preparative column is still, on the average, about 10%, a difference that might be explained by the limited precision of the measurement of the microbore column diameter. The relative difference between the isotherm data for the analytical and the semi-preparative columns was about 1%, a reasonable value, since the two columns came from different batches of the same packing material.

We studied these two dispersion effects with a sheath flow capillary electrophoresis (CE)–ICP-MS interface. A numerical model was used to simulate advection diffusion processes in the CE-capillary and dispersion in the spray chamber. Experimental results of FI with this CE–ICP-MS interface agree well with numerical modeling results. Dispersion due to laminar flow depends strongly on capillary diameter and analyte diffusion coefficient and to a lesser extent on laminar velocity and capillary length and typically amounts to one order of magnitude peak width increase. Three spray chambers of 5, 20 and 150 ml dead volume showed an increase in band broadening and peak tailing with increasing dead volume. The use of standard Scott-type spray chambers (>90 ml volume) increases peak widths by 5–10 s regardless of injection time. The use of a low dead volume spray chamber is recommended for experiments where resolution is critical. The modeling approach can be extended to the coupling of other flow injection techniques, like micro-LC and nano-LC with ICP-MS.

In the past 15 years, there has been an unexpected sprouting of metallic states in Low-dimensional systems, directly contradicting conventional wisdom. For example, bosons are thought to exist in one of two ground states: condensed in a superconductor or localized in an insulator. However, several experiments on thin metal-alloy films have observed that a metallic phase disrupts the direct transition between the superconductor and the insulator. We analyze the experiments on the insulator-superconductor transition and argue that the intervening metallic phase is bosonic. All relevant theoretical proposals for the Bose metal are discussed, particularly the recent idea that the metallic phase is glassy. The implications for the putative vortex-glass state in the copper oxide superconductors are examined.

Based on a theoretical model of desorption we demonstrate that these spectra display a signature of a surface exciton and constitute a new sensitive method of surface electronic spectroscopy detected by atomic desorption. Our results not only demonstrate that creation of surface excitons can be a much more general phenomenon than was previously thought, based on measurements made using established spectroscopic techniques, but extend the classes of material amenable to surface spectroscopic interrogation.

Conditions chosen are similar to those of a clear day (17 March) at the location of Barrow, Alaska. Small amounts of reactive trace gases, representative of the Arctic spring, are present initially with typical background levels of Hg (0.24 ppt) and 50 ppb of O3. The simulations show that ozone and gaseous atomic mercury depletion are both strong functions of two important variables: (1) the concentrations of Br2 and BrCl present during the day; and (2) the concentrations of reactive trace gases such as CH2O present in the air mass. The simulated rate of Hg depletion and the expected product distribution are also functions of the size of the rate coefficient for the Hg+BrO reaction (k17). The relatively small extent of O3 and Hg depletion rates that result from Cl–ClO chemistry and the major effects that result from the Br–BrO chemistry are rationalized in terms of the significant differences in the reaction mechanisms for the two halogens.

Our data show that the high-energy outburst begins in the X-ray waveband 0.9–1.4 d after the beginning of the optical rise and 0.6 d before the extreme-ultraviolet rise. The X-ray flux drops suddenly, immediately before the extreme-ultraviolet flux rise, supporting the view that both components arise in the boundary layer between the accretion disc and white dwarf surface. The early rise of the X-ray flux shows that the propagation time of the outburst heating wave may have been previously overestimated. The transitions between X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet dominated emission are accompanied by intense variability in the X-ray flux, with time-scales of minutes. As detailed by Mauche & Robinson, dwarf nova oscillations are detected throughout the extreme-ultraviolet outburst, but we find they are absent from the X-ray light curve. X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet luminosities imply accretion rates of in quiescence, when the boundary layer becomes optically thick, and at the peak of the outburst. The quiescent accretion rate is two and a half orders of magnitude higher than predicted by the standard disc instability model, and we suggest this may be because the inner accretion disc in SS Cyg is in a permanent outburst state.

T1 - A comparative study of EL2 and other deep centers in undoped SI GaAs using optical absorption spectra and photoconductivity measurements JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2003/10/11/ VL - 512 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 01689002 AB - The performance of radiation detectors fabricated from semi-insulating (SI) GaAs is highly sensitive to EL2+-concentration in the material. Near-infrared optical absorption measurements are commonly used to determine the EL2-concentration and to roughly estimate the EL2+-concentration under the assumption that the optical absorption is mainly determined by the photoionization and the photoneutralization of EL20 and EL2+, respectively. However, the presence of different native defects can contribute to optical absorption and reduce the precision of determination of EL2-concentration. In this work, we evaluate the contributions into optical absorption from EL2 and other deep center namely EL3 defect (0.55 eV) using near-infrared optical absorption and photoconductivity (PC) measurements in the photon energy interval 0.5–1.4 eV for SI GaAs crystals grown by the liquid encapsulated Czochralski method from melts with As content changing from 50% to about 46%. The photoelectrical spectra were measured on p–i–n structure detectors with heavily doped p+ and n+ layers grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy and on Schottky diodes. The short circuit photocurrent spectra were registered for all detectors in the energy interval 0.65–1.4 eV. Unexpectedly, the current sensitivities in the regions of the extrinsic and intrinsic absorption were comparable. A comparative study of optical absorption, PC and short circuit photocurrent spectra resulted in determination of EL2+-concentration. It was concluded that contribution of additional deep centers, particularly the ionized EL3+ defect could be comparable to the EL2-contribution. The EL3 centers were attributed to oxygen-related defects based on published results and on some indirect evidence in our experimental data.

The initial doping concentration in HTLT(TD) silicon detectors is twice more than that of standard silicon detectors (same starting material, but no HTLT process), with TD being the dominant donor. Standard and HTLT(TD) silicon detectors have been irradiated by 10 MeV protons up to 2.5×1014 p/cm2. It has been found that the increase rate (β) of the space charge concentration (Neff) after space charge sign inversion (SCSI) in HTLT(TD) silicon detectors is about half of that in standard silicon detectors. Further improvement in proton radiation hardness has been observed in terms of the SCSI fluence. The SCSI fluence for HTLT(TD) silicon detectors is more than four times higher than that of standard detectors, although the corresponding ratio of initial space charge concentrations between the two groups of detectors is about two. This result implies that the SCSI is greatly delayed in HTLT(TD) silicon detector compared with silicon detectors with similar initial space charge (all phosphorus) concentration (lower resistivity standard silicon detectors).

Its distinctive feature is the simultaneous readout of the charge packets stored in the detector by means of a uniform electrostatic field leading to readout times of few μs/cm. The achieved room temperature energy resolution at the Mn Kα line is better than 300 eV FWHM at 60 kHz and improves at higher frame frequencies thanks to the short integration time. In this paper, we present the characterization of the imaging and timing properties of two CDD prototypes. Time resolved 2-D images in the microsecond range as well as X-ray radiographies will be presented. Details of the design of a new 6×6 mm2 prototype will be presented and the preliminary measurements will be discussed.

Results of tests performed on a produced detector are described and the problem with the formation of an insulation layer between silicon and aluminum is identified.

Compared with only H implantation, H-implanted Si samples that received a B preimplant were observed to have a decrease in implantation-induced lattice damage, in spite of enhanced blistering behavior, which was more pronounced for nonactivated B. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the concentration of Si–H multivacancy defects was also decreased in the B+H coimplanted Si relative to H-only-implanted Si. These decreases in the damage and H-defect density suggest that the lower damage in the B+H coimplanted Si results from a reduction in H-trap density, which in turn enhances H diffusion and the kinetics of blistering. This reduction in lattice damage and H–Si-defect complexes is attributed to the formation of a kinetically active B–Si interstitial complex that is prevalent in nonactivated B-implanted Si. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

These PURs differ only in the length of their hard segment. Surface deformation was induced by cyclically stretching the PUR films to a macroscopic elastic elongation. Results for both PUR compositions indicate that the upward orientation of the methylene groups increases with elongation and decreases upon relaxation. The surface of the stretched PUR films with shorter hard segments exhibited irreversible deformation at the molecular level. This produced a surface composition similar to that of PUR with longer hard segments that deformed only elastically after three stretching cycles. This behavior indicates that the surface structure of PUR copolymers can be controlled by mechanical manipulation or by modification of the copolymer segment length. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

A special target assembly was used to manipulate the thickness of each layer. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy (Z contrast) studies confirmed the single-crystalline nature of the superlattice with a uniform layer structure. Nanoindentation results suggest the high hardness of these superlattice structures. Four-point-probe resistivity measurements show low resistivity of the heterostructures and a Cu diffusion characteristic study proved this superlattice system can be a promising diffusion barrier and can withstand 700 °C annealing for 30 min. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Films of the two compositions showed distinctly different phase-separated microstructures, consistent with two limiting cases of microstructural evolution: nucleation/growth and spinodal decomposition. Films with 40 mol % HfO[sub 2] phase separated in the amorphous by spinodal decomposition and exhibited a characteristic wavelength in the plane of the film. Decomposition with a wavelength of ∼3 nm could be detected at 800 °C. At 1000 °C the films rapidly demixed with a wavelength of 5 nm. In contrast, films with 80 mol % HfO[sub 2] phase separated by nucleation and growth of crystallites, and showed a more random microstructure. The factors determining specific film morphologies and phase separation kinetics are discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The SiO[sub 2] film was fabricated using a spin-coating technique and annealed at 100 °C. The shortest switching transit time is found to be on the order of 10 ns. A delay time ranging from 100 ns to 500 ms is usually observed prior to switching, which changes exponentially with the electric field at switching, and also depends strongly on the area of the device. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The sandwich-like structures have a carrot-like morphology, consisting of three materials with different morphologies, states, and crystallographic structures. The “carrot” top is a liquid Ga ball with diameter of ∼10–30 μm; the middle part is a Si ring usually composed of about 10 μm-sized, clearly faceted, and crystalline Si polyhedrons that are arranged sequentially in a band around the lower hemisphere surface of the Ga ball; the bottom part is a carrot-shaped bunch of highly aligned silicon oxide nanowires that grow out from the downward facing facets of the Si polyhedrons. This study reveals several interesting nanowire growth phenomena that enrich the conventional vapor-liquid-solid nanowire growth mechanism. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Si[sub 3]N[sub 4] nanocrystals initially exhibit an extremely high bulk modulus of 685(45) GPa. But, above 40 GPa, the bulk modulus is reduced to 415(10) GPa. Thus, a critical pressure of ∼40 GPa was determined that signifies the onset of size-induced weakening of elastic stiffness in nanocrystalline Si[sub 3]N[sub 4]. Enhanced surface energy contributions to the shell layers of nanoparticles and the resulting effect on the corresponding large d-spacing planes are used to explain the observed phenomenon. Upon decompression, the bulk modulus of the Si[sub 3]N[sub 4] spinel remained at its lower value of 415 GPa. This study provides a reasonable explanation for the different compressibility properties of numerous nanocrystals. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Results indicate that the addition of the carboxyl group to thymine lowers the adiabatic ionization potential by 0.4 eV. Further, modification of the carboxyl group by an amino group lowers the ionization potential by another 0.2 eV. The effect of solvation and base pairing with adenine on the modified thymine ionization energies was also investigated. The results provide evidence that linker groups can dampen the influence of adenine base pairing on thymine charge transfer.

The algorithm minimizes the mutual entropy or the Kullback–Leibler information divergence between the observed concentrations and the model. Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) results from fast flow tube and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) experiments, respectively, were modeled. The results for protonated glycine were in excellent agreement with previous literature data. Four rate constants were found, three of them identical corresponding to the three equivalent hydrogen atoms of the protonated amine group and a fourth higher one corresponding to the single carboxyl hydrogen. New results for the proton-bound dimer of arginine demonstrated a single high site-specific rate constant and fourteen low ones. These results are in agreement with the ion–zwitterion structure of (arginine)2H+ that has a single carboxyl hydrogen atom.

The amount of truly pertinent human information on this issue is sparse, leading to the conclusion that we cannot confirm or refute that instability induction by radiation is involved. However, the in vitro findings of radiation-induced genomic instability through bystander effects or increased mutation rates in cell progeny of apparently normal but irradiated cells are provocative and their transferability to human in vivo biology deserves further investigation. We describe possible animal and human studies to stimulate ideas, but the collaborative commitment of multiple large institutions to tumor tissue procurement and retrieval will be essential. In addition, detecting the temporal progression of genomic instability and identifying the salient genetic events as being radiation-induced will be pivotal. Execution of some of the studies suggested is not possible now, but applying next-generation methods could bring the concepts to fruition. As nearly one in 10 cancer diagnoses are second (or higher) malignancies, it is important to understand the contribution of radiotherapy to second cancer induction and pursue well-coordinated efforts to determine the role of induced genomic instability.Oncogene (2003) 22, 7018-7027. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1206989 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Here we report that a ZFP TF can repress target gene expression with single-gene specificity within the human genome. A ZFP TF repressor that binds an 18-bp recognition sequence within the promoter of the endogenous CHK2 gene gives a >10-fold reduction in CHK2 mRNA and protein. This level of repression was sufficient to generate a functional phenotype, as demonstrated by the loss of DNA damage-induced CHK2-dependent p53 phosphorylation. We determined the specificity of repression by using DNA microarrays and found that the ZFP TF repressed a single gene (CHK2) within the monitored genome in two different cell types. These data demonstrate the utility of ZFP TFs as precise tools for target validation, and highlight their potential as clinical therapeutics.

An exciting prospect stems from the fact that waves from these different phenomena will occur at different amplitudes and frequencies, providing, with a successful detection and analysis, evidence of them and the opportunity to perform a detailed comparison of model predictions and gravitational wave observations. The latter would serve both to help us understand supernova phenomenology and to develop realistic three-dimensional supernova models. We present a brief “state of supernova theory” and discuss the outstanding research issues that must be addressed to both ascertain the core collapse supernova mechanism and predict core collapse supernova gravitational wave signatures. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

With current and proposed gravitational wave detectors, core-collapse supernovae will likely only be detectable in the Galaxy. If such a Galactic supernova occurs, gravitational waves will provide a unique window into the rotation rate of stellar cores. Combined with neutrino emission, gravitational waves will also probe other collapse asymmetries and the hot equation of state for nuclear matter. All these prospects are discussed using intuition based on the latest set of 3-dimensional core-collapse simulations. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The system is designed to provide early warning to civilians in the event of a terrorist attack. The final APDS will be completely automated, offering aerosol sampling, in-line sample preparation fluidics, multiplexed detection and identification immunoassays, and orthogonal, multiplexed PCR (nucleic acid) amplification and detection. The system performance (current capabilities include aerosol collection, multiplexed immunoassays, sample archiving, data reporting, and alarming) was evaluated in a field test conducted in a Biosafety Level 3 facility, where the system was challenged with, and detected, a series of aerosolized releases containing two live, virulent biological threat agents (Bacillus anthracis and Yersinia pestis). Results presented here represent the first autonomous, simultaneous measurement of these agents.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 75 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 5328 EP - 5335 SN - 00032700 AB - Microfluidic devices with a dual function containing both a solid-phase extractor and an enzymatic microreactor have been prepared, and their operation has been demonstrated. The devices were fabricated from a 25-mmlong porous poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith prepared within a 50-μm-i.d. capillary. This capillary with a pulled 9-12-μm needle tip was used as a nanoelectrospray emitter coupling the device to a mass spectrometer. Photografting with irradiation through a mask was then used to selectively functionalize a 20mm-long portion of the monolith, introducing reactive poly(2-vinyl-4,4-dimethylazlactone) chains to enable the subsequent attachment of trypsin, thereby creating an enzymatic microreactor with high proteolytic activity. The other 5 mm of unmodified hydrophobic monolith served as micro solid-phase extractor (μSPE). The dual-function devices were used in two different flow directions; concentration of myoglobin that was absorbed from its dilute solution, followed by elution and digestion or digestion, followed by concentration. Operations in both directions afforded equal sequence coverage. Different volumes of myoglobin solution ranging from 2 to 20 μL were loaded on the device. Very high sequence coverages of almost 80% were achieved for the highest loading. Despite the very short length of the extractor unit, the device operated in the digest-solid-phase extraction direction also enabled the separation of peaks that mostly contained undigested protein and peptides.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 75 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 5441 EP - 5450 SN - 00032700 AB - Many cellular processes are regulated by reversible protein phosphorylation, and the ability to broadly identify and quantify phosphoproteins from proteomes would provide a basis for gaining a better understanding of these dynamic cellular processes. However, such a sensitive, efficient, and global method capable of addressing the phosphoproteome has yet to be developed. Here we describe an improved stable-isotope labeling method using a phosphoprotein isotope-coded solid-phase tag (PhIST) for isolating and measuring the relative abundances of phosphorylated peptides from complex peptide mixtures resulting from the enzymatic digestion of extracted proteins. The PhIST approach is an extension of the previously reported phosphoprotein isotope-coded affinity tag (PhIAT) approach developed by our laboratory,[SUP1,2] where phosphoseryl and phosphothreonyl residues were derivatized by hydroxide ion-mediated β-elimination followed by the Michael addition of 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT). Instead of using the biotin affinity tag, peptides containing the EDT moiety were captured and labeled in one step using isotope-coded solid-phase reagents containing either light (12C6, 14N) or heavy (13C6, [SUP15]N) stable isotopes. The captured peptides labeled with the isotope-coded tags were released from the solid-phase support by UV photocleavage and analyzed by capillary liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The efficiency and sensitivity of the PhIST labeling approach for identification of phosphopeptides from mixtures were determined using casein proteins. Its utility for proteomic applications was demonstrated by the labeling of soluble phosphoproteins from a human breast cancer cell line.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 75 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 5480 EP - 5487 SN - 00032700 AB - Bioaerosol mass spectrometry is being developed to analyze and identify biological aerosols in real time. Characteristic mass spectra from individual bacterial endospores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger were obtained in a bipolar aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer using a pulsed 266-nm laser for molecular desorption and ionization. Spectra from single spores collected at an average fluence of ∼0.1 J/cm[SUP2] frequently contain prominent peaks attributed to arginine, dipicolinic acid, and glutamic acid, but the shot-to-shot (spore-to-spore) variability in the data may make it difficult to consistently distinguish closely related Bacillus species with an automated routine. Fortunately, a study of the laser power dependence of the mass spectra reveals clear trends and a finite number of "spectral types" that span most of the variability. This, we will show, indicates that a significant fraction of the variability must be attributed to fluence variations in the profile of the laser beam.

SN - 09462171 AB - CrO is an important intermediate in the high temperature oxidation chemistry of chromium containing species. This work reports the first detection of CrO in a flame. The B[sup5]Π ­ X[sup5]Π electronic transition was probed by cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) in a lean (φ = 0.38), low-pressure, flat, laminar hydrogen-oxygen-argon flame seeded with Cr(CO)[sub6]. The previous B[sup5]Π ­ X[sup5]Π CrO spectrum of Hocking et al. (605.0 nm-606.5 nm) is extended from the band head located at 605.6 nm to 614.4 nm. The temperature profiles of the doped and undoped flames were obtained from measurements of OH laser- induced fluorescence. Seeding the flame with Cr(CO)[sub6] increased the flame temperature by approximately 150 K. The concentration profile of CrO was measured as a function of height above the burner. CrO absorption signals were converted to concentration using the measured temperature profile and absorption cross-section calculated from lifetimes by Hedgecock et al. A lower limit peak CrO concentration of 1.6 ppb was found in the flame. Some uncertainty in the cross-section remains. Comparisons to calculations using STANJAN indicate that CrO is present in flames at super equilibrium concentrations.

Simple models based on band-orbital mixing can explain trends found for the interaction of these catalytic materials with adsorbates: the less stable the occupied levels of a mixed-metal oxide, the higher its chemical reactivity. Metal↔oxygen↔metal interactions are common in mixed-metal oxides and can lead to substantial changes in the electronic and chemical properties of the cations. This is particularly true in the case of ABO3 perovskites (A=Pb, Ca, Sr, Li, K, Na; B=Ti, Zr, Nb), and it is an important phenomenon that has to be considered when mixing AO and BO2 oxides for catalytic applications. In systems like Ce1−xZrxO2 and Ce1−xCaxO2, the structural stress induced by the dopant (Zr or Ca) leads to perturbations in the electronic properties of the Ce cations. The trends in the behavior of metal-doped MgO illustrate a basic principle in the design of mixed-metal oxide catalysts for DeNOx and DeSOx operations. The general idea is to find metal dopants that upon hybridization within an oxide matrix remain in a relatively low oxidation state and at the same time induce occupied electronic states located well above the valence band of the host oxide. Electronic effects should not be neglected a priori when explaining the behavior or dealing with the design of mixed-metal oxide catalysts.

T1 - Conversion of N2O to N2 on TiO2(1 1 0) JO - Catalysis Today JF - Catalysis Today Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 85 IS - 2-4 M3 - Article SP - 251 SN - 09205861 AB - In this study, we examine the interaction of N2O with TiO2(1 1 0) in an effort to better understand the conversion of NOx species to N2 over TiO2-based catalysts. The TiO2(1 1 0) surface was chosen as a model system because this material is commonly used as a support and because oxygen vacancies on this surface are perhaps the best available models for the role of electronic defects in catalysis. Annealing TiO2(1 1 0) in vacuum at high temperature (above about 800 K) generates oxygen vacancy sites that are associated with reduced surface cations (Ti3+ sites) and that are easily quantified using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of water. Using TPD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), we found that the majority of N2O molecules adsorbed at 90 K on TiO2(1 1 0) are weakly held and desorb from the surface at 130 K. However, a small fraction of the N2O molecules exposed to TiO2(1 1 0) at 90 K decompose to N2 via one of two channels, both of which are vacancy-mediated. One channel occurs at 90 K, and results in N2 ejection from the surface and vacancy oxidation. We propose that this channel involves N2O molecules bound at vacancies with the O-end of the molecule in the vacancy. The second channel results from an adsorbed state of N2O that decomposes at 170 K to liberate N2 in the gas phase and deposit oxygen adatoms at non-defect Ti4+ sites. The presence of these O adatoms is clearly evident in subsequent water TPD measurements. We propose that this channel involves N2O molecules that are bound at vacancies with the N-end of the molecule in the vacancy, which permits the O-end of the molecule to interact with an adjacent Ti4+ site. The partitioning between these two channels is roughly 1:1 for adsorption at 90 K, but neither is observed to occur for moderate N2O exposures at temperatures above 200 K. EELS data indicate that vacancies readily transfer charge to N2O at 90 K, and this charge transfer facilitates N2O decomposition. Based on these results, it appears that the decomposition of N2O to N2 requires trapping of the molecule at vacancies and that the lifetime of the N2O–vacancy interaction may be key to the conversion of N2O to N2.

This technique enables direct deposition of the gasoline engine exhaust particles (GEP) and diesel engine exhaust particles (DEP) on human lung cells located at the air–cell interface on a transwell membrane in an exposure apparatus. The cellular responses to particle exposure were measured by the levels of IL-8 chemokines produced as a function of exposure time. The findings suggest that GEP and high-sulfur DEP induced the production of similar levels of IL-8 by unprimed A549 cells. The level of IL-8 produced by unprimed A549 cells in response to low-sulfur DEP was found lower than that produced in response to high-sulfur DEP and GEP. When cells were primed, simulating predisposed conditions, significant levels of IL-8 were produced. GEP triggered a much higher level of IL-8 production than DEP did. Furthermore, the time profile of IL-8 production induced by GEP was markedly different from that induced by DEP. The findings indicate that GEP could induce the production of higher levels of chemokines (i.e., IL-8) than DEP did, implying that exposure to GEP could be a greater health risk than exposure to DEP.

A control-volume method is used for spatial discretization. Time integration is invoked to yield a discrete system of integrated-flux-integrated-source form equations. The Bott''s upstream-biased Eulerian advection scheme [Moneatry and Weakly Review 117 (1989a) 1006; Moneatry and Weakly Review 117 (1989b) 2633] is employed for approximating advective fluxes. A two-level time weighting scheme is employed for the dispersive fluxes. An upstream-biased Eulerian algorithm is proposed for the concentration-dependent source term. Flux and source limiters are developed to ensure non-negative evolution of the scalar concentration field. Numerical experiments were presented to illustrate its performance in comparison with theoretical solutions and those of conventional methods. The proposed scheme is mass-conservative, produces non-negative concentration values, exhibits low numerical dispersion, and is efficient for advection-dominated problems with concentration-dependent source terms. Like other Eulerian schemes, the Courant–Friedrich–Levy (CFL) stability criterion has to be met.

To address this important subject, we conducted an electron spin resonance (ESR) study to understand the kinetics of the formation and decomposition of Cr(V) during Cr(VI) reduction by different Gram-positive Cr(VI)-tolerant bacteria which were isolated from polluted basalts from the United States of America and the Republic of Georgia. Results form our batch experiments show that during Cr(VI) reduction, the macromolecules at the cell wall of these bacteria could act as an electron donor to Cr(VI) to form a stable square-pyramidal Cr(V) complexes, which were reduced further probably via a one-electron transfer pathway to form Cr(IV) and Cr(III) compounds. The Cr(V) peak at the ESR spectrum possessed superhyperfine splitting characteristic of the Cr(V) complexes with diol-containing molecules. It appears that the kinetic of Cr(V) formation and decomposition dependent on the bacterial growth phase and on the species. Both formation and decomposition of Cr(V) occurred more quickly when Cr(VI) was added at the exponential phase. In comparison with other Gram-positive bacterial from the republic of Georgia, the formation and decomposition of Cr(V) in Arthrobacter species from the Unites States was significantly slower.

The indoor exposure to particles of outdoor origin is not well-characterized, particularly for individual chemical species. In response to this, a field study in an unoccupied, single-story residence in Clovis, CA, was conducted. Real-time particle monitors were used both outdoors and indoors to quantity PM[sub2.5] nitrate, sulfate, and carbon. The aggregate of the highly time-resolved sulfate data, as well as averages of these data, was fit using a time-averaged from of the infiltration equation, resulting in reasonable value for the penetration coefficient and deposition loss rate. In contrast, individual value of the indoor/outdoor ratio can vary significantly from that predicted by the model for time scales ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Measured indoor ammonium nitrate levels were typically significantly lower than expected solely on the basis of penetration and deposition losses. The additional reduction is due to the transformation of ammonium nitrate into ammonia and nitric acid gases indoors, which are subsequently lost by deposition and sorption to indoor surfaces. This result illustrates that exposure assessments based on total outdoor particle mass can obscure the actual causal relationships for indoor exposures to particles of outdoor origin.

MgH binding energies, H local-mode vibration frequencies, and configurational degeneracies for the six lowest-energy configurations are used, along with corresponding results for isolated H[sup +], to compute equilibrium H state populations in Mg-doped GaN as a function of temperature. For a Mg concentration of 1×10[sup 19]/cm[sup 3] and a H/Mg concentration ratio of 0.99, MgH is found to be the majority H species at room temperature with isolated H[sup +] becoming the majority species at T≈550 °C. Among the MgH states, one is found to dominate at all temperatures. The dominant configuration consists of H at an antibonding site of a N neighbor of the substitutional Mg, with the Mg–N and N–H bonds nearly aligned and the N–H bond oriented at an angle of ∼109° with the c axis. The H stretch-mode frequency of the dominant state is consistent with the peak observed in Fourier-transform infrared reflection spectra from Mg-doped GaN samples. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Spectra at the V L edges were recorded ex-situ on a series of cycled electrodes that had been discharged to different potentials (3.0, 2.5, 2.0, and 1.8 V). Different chemical states upon discharge effectively correspond to different doping levels: the lower the cell potential, the higher the lithiation. The RSXES and SXAS spectra reflect the occupied and unoccupied electronic states, respectively. Spectral changes are observed as a function of the reduction process of vanadium by the electrochemical process. Lithiation induces a gradual enhancement of features attributed to occupied V 3d states in the RSXES spectra, indicating that the intercalated charges occupy bands of V 3d. Both SXAS and RSXES results suggest a partial reduction to V[sup 3+] at potentials below 2.0 V and the presence of a mixture of three different oxidation states. RSXES spectra also reveal the low energy-loss feature of 1 eV, suggesting strong correlation of the V 3d orbitals. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Calculations of excitation energies and oscillator strengths are reported using excited-state coupled cluster response methods, as well as the complete active space self-consistent field method with the full Breit–Pauli spin-orbit operator. The calculations predict that there is only one singlet state for BrONO[sub 2], the à [sup 1]A[sup ″] state, that is accessible at wavelengths longer than 300 nm. At energies below the first singlet state, i.e., λ>330 nm, the calculations reveal two triplet states with significant oscillator strength. Therefore, we propose that the origin of absorption in the long wavelength region from 350 to 500 nm, responsible for the majority of atmospheric photolysis, is due to transitions to triplet states and not singlet states. A comparison of the reported benchmark coupled cluster calculations (CCSD) with the results of (1) configuration interaction with all single substitutions and a perturbative correction for the double substitutions [CIS(D)] and (2) time-dependent density-functional (TDDF) calculations is provided. For the lowest energy excitations, CIS(D) calculations provide quantitative agreement with the CCSD results, while TDDF calculations yield qualitative agreement. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 119 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 8024 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The hybrid molecular–continuum model for polar solvation considered in this paper combines the dielectric continuum approximation for treating fast electronic (inertialess) polarization effects and a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for the slow (inertial) polarization component, including orientational and translational solvent modes. The inertial polarization is generated by average charge distributions of solvent particles, composed of permanent and induced (electronic) components. MD simulations are performed in a manner consistent with the choice of solvent and solute charges such that all electrostatic interactions are scaled by the factor 1/[variant_greek_epsilon][sub ∞], where [variant_greek_epsilon][sub ∞] is the optical dielectric permittivity. This approach yields an ensemble of equilibrium solvent configurations adjusted to the electric field created by a charged or strongly polar solute. The electrostatic solvent response field is found as the solution of the Poisson equation including both solute and explicit solvent charges, with accurate account of electrostatic boundary conditions at the surfaces separating spatial regions with different dielectric permittivities. Both equilibrium and nonequilibrium solvation effects can be studied by means of this model, and their inertial and inertialess contributions are naturally separated. The methodology for computation of charge transfer reorganization energies is developed and applied to a model two-site dipolar system in the SPC water solvent. Three types of charge transfer reactions are considered. The standard linear-response approach yields high accuracy for each particular reaction, but proves to be significantly in error when reorganization energies of different reactions were compared. This result has a purely molecular origin and is absent within a conventional continuum solvent model. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

It is found that after an induction period where there is a buildup of singly hydrolyzed monomer, the first nuclei are fractal and open in structure. Interestingly, the nuclei are twice as large in ethanol (Rg≈8 nm) as those in methanol (Rg≈4 nm). The data suggest that the difference in primary particle size is possibly caused by a higher supersaturation ratio of the singly hydrolyzed monomer in methanol than in ethanol if it is assumed that the surface energy of the first nuclei is the same in methanol and ethanol. The particle number concentration and the volume fraction of the silica particles are calculated independently from the SAXS, DLS, and 29Si NMR results. Finally, the rate of nucleation is obtained from the particle number concentrations.

T1 - Non-uniqueness of inverse transmissivity field calibration and predictive transport modeling JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 281 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 265 SN - 00221694 AB - Recent work with stochastic inverse modeling techniques has led to the development of efficient algorithms for the construction of transmissivity (T) fields conditioned to measurements of T and head. Small numbers of calibration targets and correlation between model parameters in these inverse solutions can lead to a relatively large region in parameter space that will produce a near optimal calibration of the T field to measured heads. Most applications of these inverse techniques have not considered the effects of non-unique calibration on subsequent predictions made with the T fields. Use of these T fields in predictive contaminant transport modeling must take into account the non-uniqueness of the T field calibration. A recently developed ‘predictive estimation’ technique is presented and employed to create T fields that are conditioned to observed heads and measured T values while maximizing the conservatism of the associated predicted advective travel time. Predictive estimation employs confidence and prediction intervals calculated simultaneously on the flow and transport models, respectively. In an example problem, the distribution of advective transport results created with the predictive estimation technique is compared to the distribution of results created under traditional T field optimization where model non-uniqueness is not considered. The predictive estimation technique produces results with significantly shorter travel times relative to traditional techniques while maintaining near optimal calibration. Additionally, predictive estimation produces more accurate estimates of the fastest travel times.

SN - 00222461 AB - This paper discusses tensile testing techniques and results derived as part of a broader microstructure-properties investigation of structural materials used in surface micromachined (SMM), and LIGA MEMS technologies. SMM techniques produce devices on the surface of a silicon wafer, with critical dimensions as small as 1–2 μm, using a subtractive multilayer film deposition process. Two structural materials have been investigated: SUMMiT™ polysilicon and amorphous Diamond (a-D). Mechanical properties presented in this paper on these SMM structural materials were obtained from a direct tensile testing method using the lateral force measurement capability of a nanoindentation system. LIGA, a German acronym extracted from the words “Lithographie, Galvanoformung, Abformung,” is an additive process in which structural material is electrodeposited into a polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) molds realized by deep x-ray lithography. LIGA tensile specimens of several different materials have been evaluated using a mini-servohydraulic load frame, designed to test specimens of sizes similar to structural components. In this paper, tensile test results from LIGA fabricated Ni and Ni-alloys and examples of their correlation to processing and microstructure will be presented.

The as-plated LIGA Ni specimens of different thickness (50 μm, 100 μm and 200 μm) were utilized in the microtensile experiments. Optical microscopy, orientation imaging microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the microstructure of the LIGA Ni specimens. Fracture Modes obtained from specimens with different thickness were revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of specimen thickness are then discussed within the context of strain gradient plasticity theories.

Both Berkovich and North Star indenter tips were used in the study to investigate possible effects of residual indentation depth between the micro and nano scales on the hardness of LIGA Ni MEMS structures. A microstructural length scale parameter, l = 0.89 μm, was determined for LIGA nickel films. This is shown to be consistent with a stretch gradient length scale parameter, ls, of ∼0.36 μm.

Such isochoric heating experiments permit study of the properties, such as the equation of state, of heated matter. One of the principal challenges of these experiments is to heat sufficiently thick layers so that they will be inertially confined over times scales sufficient for equilibration, times that are often many picoseconds, even at these high densities. One approach to this problem is to heat a solid target not with the laser pulse directly, which deposits its energy only over a few nanometres, but to heat with penetrating X-rays. In this paper, we present preliminary results where such ultrafast X-ray heating is demonstrated using a short-pulse laser-driven silicon Kα source to heat a layer of solid density aluminium.

The purpose of the undulator is to couple the transverse (propagating) and longitudinal (non-propagating) electromagnetic waves in the plasma. The coupling is particularly strong when the electron cyclotron and plasma frequencies are equal. It is demonstrated that this coupling gives rise to ultra-slow electromagnetic waves with group velocity v g ≪ c (where c is the speed of light in vacuum), resulting in the extreme energy compression in the plasma. A linear propagation equation for the electromagnetic wave envelope is derived, and its group velocity and group velocity dispersion are calculated. Relativistic corrections to the plasma electron motion are included to derive the nonlinear propagation equation. It is shown that, in comparison with unmagnetized plasma, an enhancement of nonlinearities of order is expected. Implications for relativistic self-focusing in the plasma are discussed.

Our technique, semiclassical electron-radiation-ion dynamics (SERID), is fully described in the text. The one-electron Hamiltonian and ion-ion interactions employed in the present work are density-functional based. Following excitation of electrons by the laser pulse, all three C-C bonds in the butadiene molecule become longer, as electrons are promoted from the HOMO to both the LUMO and LUMO+1 levels. In the excited electronic state, the molecule rotates about all of its three C-C bonds. There are then non-adiabatic events near avoided crossings, with electronic transitions to the ground state via creation of vibrational excitations. The molecule continues to twist around the central bond and one of the terminal C-C bonds, until the trans -conformation is achieved. Various features in the behaviour of the vibrational modes can also be observed, including initial excitations due to the laser pulse, further excitations at avoided crossings and the redistribution of vibrational energy between modes.

Extended electron energy loss fine structure studies were performed in both extended and near edge region. Using Gd-metaborate, GdB3O6, as a model, we fitted the experimental B K-edge spectra of the glasses containing 30 and 47 mass% Gd2O3 in r-space with a non-linear least-square fitting method. Based on the results obtained from the current study, the majority of borate units appear to react with Gd cations and the local environment of Gd cations resembles that of the Gd-metaborate structure. Therefore, a distorted Gd-metaborate-like local atomic structure is proposed, in which each Gd cation is stabilized by one tetragonal BO4 unit and two trigonal BO3 units. The similarity of the chemical environment between the two high Gd-bearing glasses implies that the local Gd-metal borate environment, 1BO4:Gd:2BO3, is stable. When the Gd to B ratio in the glasses exceeded 1 to 3 ratio, according to the model, excess Gd cations should form bonds with silicate units. The modeling results are further supported by the energy loss near edge spectra data and previously results obtained from Raman and laser fluorescence deduced phonon side band studies.

The only Hf-bearing phase to crystallize in the boro-aluminosilicate melts is hafnia. Some peraluminous boro-aluminosilicate glasses also crystallize a B-containing mullite. In glasses with molar Na2O > Al2O3, the solubility of hafnia is linearly and positively correlated with Na2O/(Na2O + Al2O3) or Na2O − Al2O3 (excess sodium), despite the presence of 5–16 mol% B2O3. The results of this solubility study are comparable to other studies of high-valence cation solubility in B-free silicate melts. For peralkaline B-bearing glasses, it is shown that, although the solubility limits are higher, the solution behavior of hafnia is the same as in B-free silicate melts previously studied by other workers. By comparison, it is shown that in peraluminous melts there must be a different solution mechanism for hafnia, different than that for peralkaline sodium-boro-aluminosilicate glasses in this study and different than that for B-free silicate melts studied by others. The formation of moieties in the peralkaline glasses/melts, with approximate stoichiometries of Na4HfO4, Na6Hf2O7 or Na2HfO3 (most likely with associated Si and B), appears to be responsible for the incorporation of large amounts of Hf in the glass matrix, and therefore high HfO2 solubility.

These spectra are interpreted with the aid of ab initio calculations on selected species. They are compared to the C 1s spectra of solid samples of benzene, naphththalene, anthracene, triphenylene, and 1,2-benzanthracene, recorded with inelastic X-ray Raman scattering in the dipole limit (qr < 0.5). When differences in resolution are taken into account, good agreement is found between the inelastic electron scattering spectra of the gases and the inelastic photon scattering spectra of the corresponding solid. Small differences are attributed to quenching of transitions to Rydberg states in the solids. Characteristic differences related to the degree of symmetry or spatial arrangement of the fused ring aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., linear versus bent structures) indicate that C 1s X-ray Raman spectroscopy should be useful for characterizing aromatics in bulk samples that are opaque to soft X-rays, such as coals and heavy hydrocarbon deposits.

Titanium dioxide films were doped electrochemically in the dark and under illumination. It was discovered that when Li+ is present in the electrolyte, lithium intercalates irreversibly into dye-sensitized TiO2 films at open circuit (ca. -0.7 V) under normal solar light intensities. Photocurrent transients of doped nonsensitized TiO2 films indicate that lithium doping decreases the diffusion coefficient of electrons through the nanoparticle network. Photocurrent and photovoltage transients of sensitized TiO2 films provide the first evidence that electron transport limits recombination with the redox electrolyte in working cells. As the Li density in the films increases, the diffusion and recombination times of photoelectrons increase proportionately, indicating a causal link between electron transport and recombination. The electron diffusion coefficient in dye-sensitized solar cells exhibits a power-law dependence on photocharge at all concentrations of inserted lithium in the TiO2 film. With increasing doping, the dependence of the electron diffusion coefficient on the photocharge becomes stronger, a phenomenon attributed to widening of the exponential conduction band tail resulting from disorder induced by randomly placed lithium defects in TiO2. The photovoltaic characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells are largely unaffected by lithium intercalation, implying that intercalation has only a small effect on the charge collection efficiency and the rate of recombination. A simple model is presented that explains the observed transport-limited recombination. The results suggest that increasing the electron transport rate will not significantly improve the solar cell performance.

The effect occurs in dots suspended in a variety of organic or aqueous environments. During periods of constant illumination, the exciton PL quantum yield was found to reach a value of up to 60 times that of the solution of as-prepared quantum dots and, if illumination continued, subsequently declined slowly because of photooxidation. When returned to the dark, the PL reverted to near its original value. The rate and magnitude of photoenhancement are found to depend on the illumination wavelength, the presence of a ZnS shell, the solvent environment, and the concentration of surfactant molecules. Time-resolved measurements of the fluorescence decay reveal multiexponential kinetics and an average lifetime that lengthens during the illumination period and shortens when quantum dots are returned to darkness. It is postulated that the stabilization of surface trap states, lengthening their average lifetime, could occur by a light-activated rearrangement of surfactant molecules, thus increasing the probability of thermalization back to the lowest emitting exciton state and enhancing the quantum dot PL.

Hydrogen-terminated TiO2 clusters were used to model the surface of anatase nanoparticles. The calculations indicate that catechol reacts with a Ti=O defect site on the surface to form a bidentate structure that is favored over dissociative or molecular adsorption on the (101) anatase surface. The dissociative adsorption of catechol at the defect site leads to a much larger red shift in the TiO2 excitation energy than molecular adsorption on the (101) anatase surface on the basis of ZINDO/S calculations. This is consistent with recent experimental results on small (<2 nm) titania nanoparticles. The calculations on water adsorption indicate that it can also add to the Ti=O double bond site. However, molecular adsorption of water on the (101) anatase surface is more favorable.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/10/15/ VL - 107 IS - 41 M3 - Article SP - 11441 SN - 15206106 AB - In this work, well-defined silica-supported Pt and PtSn catalysts were prepared by surface organometallic reactions and were characterized by EXAFS-XANES at the Pt L2,3 edge and XPS of the Pt 4f and Sn 3d levels. These catalysts were tested in the catalytic hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde in the liquid phase. XPS results showed that in PtSn-OM* (not having butyl groups anchored on the surface), tin was present as Sn(0) adatoms “decorating” the metallic surface, isolating Pt atoms; in the PtSn-OM catalyst (Bu groups remain grafted on the surface), tin was found in the form of Sn(0) and Sn(II, IV) in similar proportions. EXAFS experiments do not provide evidence of the existence of PtSn alloys in any of these systems. In the bimetallic PtSn-BM systems, it was possible to observe by XPS that tin was found in the form of Sn(0) and Sn(II, IV). EXAFS experiments, in this case, allowed us to demonstrate the existence of a PtSn alloy diluting metallic Pt atoms. In tin-modified systems, when a fraction of ionic tin is present, the activation of the C=O group of the cinnamaldehyde is favored, increasing the selectivity to UOL. An increase in the number of Pt 5d holes measured by Pt-L2,3 XANES could be indicating as a d → s, p rehybridization process in the PtSn 3D small nanoclusters present in PtSn-BM catalysts.

DnaK preferentially binds to peptides with basic residues (Arg/Lys) present on the outside of a hydrophobic core. The electrostatic contribution toward DnaK/peptide binding was determined by measuring the dissociation constant of DnaK complexes with two fluorescein-labeled peptides (f-NRLLLTG and f-NALLLTG) using fluorescence anisotropy. The measured dissociation constants, Kd, differ significantly at low ionic strength: at 20 mM phosphate buffer; Kd for DnaK and f-NRLLLTG is 0.2 μM while that for DnaK and f-NALLLTG is 1 μM. This difference, attributed to stronger Coulombic binding in the case of f-NRLLLTG, vanishes at high ionic strength due to electrostatic screening. For f-NRAAATG, no interaction with DnaK was apparent, showing that hydrophobic interactions are essential in chaperone/peptide binding. The ionic strength dependence of the electrostatic interaction between DnaK and NRLLLTG is interpreted in terms of an approximate analytic model for the potential of mean force between DnaK and dipolar peptide. The calculated electrostatic binding free energy, ΔGele, of about -1 kcal/mol, is in good agreement with the experiment result for low salt concentration, as obtained from the ionic strength dependence of the measured dissociation constants. Our analytic model, here generalized to a pair of particles differing in size, charge, and dipole, provides a useful first estimate of electrostatic effects that can be exploited for control of protein-protein interactions.

The predominant motions are surprisingly similar in character throughout the night, exhibiting largely westward propagation, horizontal wavelengths of ∼1 to 10 km, phase speeds slightly greater than the mean wind in the direction of propagation, and highly coherent vertical motions with no apparent phase progression with altitude. Additionally, vertical and horizontal velocities are in approximate quadrature and the largest amplitudes occur at elevated altitudes of maximum stratification. These motions are interpreted as ducted gravity waves that propagate along maxima of stratification and mean wind and that are evanescent above, and occasionally below, the altitudes at which they are ducted. Modal structures for ducted waves are computed for mean wind and stratification profiles for three specific cases and are seen to provide a plausible explanation of the observed motions.

It is found that the BE signal, which is proportional to the number of unpinning events of domain walls (DW), is more intense in samples with small grains which have been annealed at lower temperatures, than in those with large grains which have been annealed at higher temperatures. The small-grain samples have larger BE signals, because they have large fractional volume of grain boundaries that act as sites for the DW unpinning. A qualitative model is proposed to describe the BE signal obtained from these ferritic steel samples. BE measurements are also made in-situ on each sample while it is under increasing tension. The BE signal increases in sample under tension. In the case of small-grain sample, the increase is mainly due to the re-orientation of domain configurations that facilitates the magnetization process. In the case of large-grain sample, tensile stress re-orients the domain configurations as well as creating new DWs that increase the number of unpinning events. In this work, it is also found that the BE–strain plots of the steel bars annealed at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600 °C exhibit behaviors which are similar to their corresponding stress–strain curves.

During consolidation, much of the MgO converted to the MgCr2O4 spinel phase, which was hypothesized to getter nitrogen from the Cr, rendering it ductile. We have duplicated this effect, achieving room temperature tensile elongations of 4% for hot-pressed Cr–6MgO–(0–1)Ti (wt.%) and 10% for hot-pressed and extruded Cr–6MgO–0.75Ti. Direct incorporation of nitrogen into the MgCr2O4 phase was not detected; however, impurities, particularly nitrogen and sulfur, were observed to segregate to and/or precipitate at interfaces between the MgO/MgCr2O4 phases and the Cr matrix. Exploratory studies of other non-spinel forming oxide dispersions (La2O3, TiO2 and Y2O3) showed a similar pattern of impurity segregation/precipitation, suggesting that there is nothing unique about spinel dispersions in Cr with regards to impurities. However, none of these other dispersions resulted in similar levels of tensile elongation.

We have investigated the effects of alloying with 1 at.% Nb on the mechanisms of deformation of polycrystalline MoSi2 by compression testing from room temperature to 1600 °C. While polycrystalline unalloyed MoSi2 fractured before plastic yield at temperatures ≤900 °C, the Nb-alloyed MoSi2 could be deformed in compression even at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations indicated that the presence of 1 at.% Nb increased the stacking fault width of 1/2〈111〉 dislocations and promoted 1/2〈111〉 slip at low temperatures. The solution softening is interpreted in terms of easier kink nucleation on partial dislocations (especially in the vicinity of solute atoms) with increasing partial spacing. With increasing deformation temperature, thermal activation makes kink nucleation easy, and presumably, kink migration is hindered by the solute atoms leading to the expected solid solution hardening at elevated temperatures. At very high temperatures (∼1600 °C), the yield strengths of Nb-containing alloys may be up to an order of magnitude higher than pure MoSi2; the related hardening mechanisms are discussed.

The lack of catalytic activity appears to be related to the presence of Phe[sup 102], which prevents the access of substrate to the active site. The substitution of tryptophan for leucine at residue 10 interferes with dimer formation and may be responsible for the additional loss of hemolytic activity. The ultrahigh resolution of the experimental diffraction data permits alternative conformations to be modeled for disordered residues, many hydrogen atoms to be located, the protonation of the N∈2 atom in the catalytic residue His[sup 48] to be observed experimentally, and the density of the bonding electrons to be analyzed in detail.

The capacity of VL to dimerise and the high structural similarity of VL and VH domains suggested the possibility that VH could also associate. We show here that spontaneous formation of VH dimers (VHD) is in many cases permissive, producing stable molecules with antigen binding specificity. VHD were displayed on filamentous phages for the selection of antigen-specific binders. VHD were expressed and secreted efficiently from both bacteria and mammalian cells in different formats, including single-chain (VH(1)-linker-VH(2)), double chain ((VH)2) and IgG analogues having the VL replaced by VH. The affinity (Kd,app) achieved with a VH dimer expressed in the IgG format, specific for a glutenin subunit was around 30 nM measured by two different methods, which was about 20 times higher than that corresponding to the VL/VH counterpart.

Compressed under ambient temperature, graphite undergoes a transition at ∼ 17 gigapascals. The near K-edge spectroscopy of carbon using synchrotron x-ray inelastic scattering reveals that half of the π-bonds between graphite layers convert to σ-bonds, whereas the other half remain as π-bonds in the high-pressure form. The x-ray diffraction pattern of the high-pressure form is consistent with a distorted graphite structure in which bridging carbon atoms between graphite layers pair and form σ-bonds, whereas the nonbridging carbon atoms remain unpaired with π-bonds. The high-pressure form is superhard, capable of indenting cubic-diamond single crystals.

Stock aqueous solutions of prepared metal concentrations were nebulized and injected into the flue gas to provide spikes for the instrument testing. Strengths of the solutions were designed such that a reference method (RM) was able to obtain a sufficient amount of material on filter samples in 30 min cycles; the collected filters were subsequently analyzed in an analytical laboratory using certified methods. Parallel aerosol measurements were performed by one operator using the ORNL instrument. The recorded signal of an individual element was analyzed using the Lorentzian model and the concentration calculated from a calibration curve that was established prior to the experiments. RM data were able to reflect the loads simulated in the spiked waste stream. However, data collected using the RM was unable to reflect the transient load condition in the flue gas and missed a sample containing beryllium. The possibility of bias in the RM determination of chromium could exist. With the real-time detection capability, the instrument was able to reveal the transient emission variation by making seven consecutive measurements within a 30 min cycle. The measurements for mercury by both techniques appeared to be in good agreement. Further improvement of the system includes the development of user-friendly software for modeling, data analysis tools, and packaging suitable for field transportation.

The minimum temperature for complete crystallization of amorphous sputtered films was found to be 400 °C, and analysis of the nucleation kinetics yielded Avrami exponents between 2 and 3 for all films. Crystalline grains always nucleated first at the surface, grew laterally until impingement, then grew inward to form columnar grains. Surface roughness delayed the onset of surface nucleation. In very smooth surfaced films, multiple DSC exotherms heralded repeated nucleation of new wide, flat grains within the film interior. This secondary microstructure exhibited different kinetics than the columnar grains, and Avrami exponents consistent with a continuous nucleation mode.

The hybrid device was found to be a photoconductive diode with a high photosensitivity of near 700, a high photogain of over 100, and a response time of 500 μs. The high photosensitivity of the a-Si:H intrinsic layer and the large barrier for carrier injection at the PVK/a-Si:H interface are responsible for the good performance. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

By correlating maps of crystallographic orientation (obtained by electron backscatter diffraction methods) with those of surface topography (obtained by atomic force microscopy), we illustrate how a surface property can be elucidated on many off-principle crystal surfaces from a single polycrystalline specimen. For the corrosion of Inconel 600 in a dilute aqueous solution of HCl, we find that corrosion rates scale with the deviation angle of the surface normal from an ideal 〈1 1 1〉 direction. The use of atomic force microscopy can also provide mechanistic details about the surface process in question. For Inconel 600, we correlate the surface oxide morphology directly to the orientation of the underlying crystal.

The simulations reveal that in solution the methanol molecule orientates with the CH3 group towards the surface, in contrast to the vacuum adsorption geometry. Our calculations also show that in vacuum the initial dehydrogenation step of CH3OH → CH2OH + H has an energy barrier of only 0.45 eV, in good agreement with experimental results. We find a lowering and smearing of high-frequency hydrogen modes as a result of the methanol–surface interaction. The inclusion of hydration introduces additional effects and is necessary for a realistic treatment of the system.

We construct new models for the Si(1 0 5) surface that are based on single- and double-height steps separated by Si(0 0 1) terraces, and propose that the observed surface disorder of Si(1 0 5) originates from the presence of several structural models with different atomic-scale features but similar energies. This degeneracy can be removed by applying compressive strains, a result that is consistent with recent observations of the structure of the Ge/Si(1 0 5) surface.

Potentiodynamic measurements indicate that the ultra high vacuum (UHV) prepared p(2 × 2) alloy surface structure is stable upon transfer to electrolyte and remains stable during subsequent cycling of the applied potential. A detailed structural study by crystal truncation rod (CTR) analysis shows that the surface layer of Pt and Sn atoms undergoes an expansion of ∼2% of the (1 1 1) layer spacing at low potential (0.05 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode) in CO-free electrolyte. At 0.55 V the expansion of the Pt atoms is reduced to ∼0.6%, whereas the Sn atoms are expanded by ∼6% of the layer spacing. The potential-induced buckling of the surface layer is also observed in CO-saturated electrolyte and is a precursor to Sn dissolution which occurs at ∼1.0 V, causing irreversible roughening of the surface.

The observations span the full range of spectral states seen in LMC X-3. The spectra are completely dominated by continuum emission, and the neutral absorbing column measured from the O i edge is consistent with the Galactic interstellar column density towards LMC X-3. We find no evidence for variability of the neutral absorbing column. We also constrain the ionized column density using the upper limits to the equivalent width of the O ii–O viii K-shell resonance lines: we find that the equivalent hydrogen column density of gas in which O is partially ionized is . From this upper limit we can rule out a line-driven stellar wind as the power source for the X-ray emission of LMC X-3 except when it is faint. At wavelengths longward of the peak emission the spectral shape is well described by a multitemperature disc–blackbody spectrum; the power-law component, which dominates at shorter wavelengths, does not continue longward of the disc–blackbody peak. This implies that the multitemperature disc–blackbody component supplies the seed photons that are Compton upscattered in the hot corona, consistent with the standard paradigm for black hole X-ray binary spectral states.

It is shown here that, in fact, certain localized orbitals often yield a better CI convergence than natural orbitals, as measured by a wave function criterion as well as by an energy criterion. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2003/10/22/ VL - 119 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 8311 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - We report a photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and theoretical study on a series of transition metal halide complexes: FeX[sub 4][sup -] and MX[sub 3][sup -] (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, X=Cl, Br). PES spectra were obtained at two photon energies (193 and 157 nm), revealing the complicated electronic structures of these metal complexes and their variation with the ligand-field geometry and metal center substitution. Density functional calculations were carried out to obtain information about the structures, energetics, and molecular orbitals of the metal complexes and used to interpret the PES spectra. For the tetrahedrally coordinated ferric complexes (FeX[sub 4][sup -]), the PES data directly confirm the “inverted level scheme” electronic structure, where the Fe 3d electrons lie below those of the ligands due to a strong spin-polarization of the Fe 3d levels. For the three-coordinate complexes (MX[sub 3][sup -]), the calculations also revealed strong spin polarizations, but the molecular orbital diagrams present a “mixed level scheme,” in which the ligand orbitals and the Fe 3d majority spin orbitals are spaced closely in the same energy regions. This “mixed level scheme” is due to the larger splitting of the 3d orbitals in the stronger D[sub 3h] ligand field and the smaller spin polarizations of the divalent metal centers. The calculations show that the metal 3d orbitals are stabilized gradually relative to the ligand orbitals from Mn to Ni in the tri-halide complexes consistent with the PES spectral patterns. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Synchrotron radiation offers important advantages over the use of pulsed vacuum ultraviolet lasers for PIMS; these include superior signal-to-noise, soft ionization, and access to photon energies outside the limited tuning ranges of current VUV laser sources. Near-threshold photoionization efficiency measurements were used to determine the absolute concentrations of the allene and propyne isomers of C[sub 3]H[sub 4] in low-pressure laminar ethylene–oxygen and benzene–oxygen flames. Similar measurements of the isomeric composition of C[sub 2]H[sub 4]O species in a fuel-rich ethylene–oxygen flame revealed the presence of substantial concentrations of ethenol (vinyl alcohol) and acetaldehyde. Ethenol has not been previously detected in hydrocarbon flames. Absolute photoionization cross sections were measured for ethylene, allene, propyne, and acetaldehyde, using propene as a calibration standard. PIE curves are presented for several additional reaction intermediates prominent in hydrocarbon flames. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Many interesting features are observed, including the following sequence of events: (i) The initial electronic excitation converts the central single bond to a double bond and the terminal double bonds to single bonds, so the molecule at first rotates about only these end bonds. (ii) There is then a series of rapid nonadiabatic transfers of population among electronic states near the HOMO-LUMO gap, which ultimately result in depopulation of the excited states. (iii) The bonds consequently revert to their original ground-state character, permitting a continuous rotation about the central single bond. At the end, the molecule is essentially in the ground electronic state for the new conformation. The simulation results clearly demonstrate the couplings of C-C-C bending vibrations to nonadiabatic electronic transitions and involvement of hydrogen migration in the molecular orbital intersections.

A.; Liu, C. Y.; Murillo, C. A.; Wang, X. Inorg. Chem. 2003, 42, 4619), in which [Mo2] is an abbreviation for the quadruply bonded MO[SUB 2][SUP4+] unit embraced by three (p-anisyl)NC(H)N(p-anisyl) anions and M = Zn (1) or Co (2), have been chemically oxidized. One-electron oxidation products [Mo[SUB 2]](CH[SUB3]O)2M(CH[SUB3]O)2[Mo[SUB2]](PF[SUB6]) (3, M = Zn; 4, M = Co) and the two-electron oxidation product [Mo[SUB2]](CH[SUB3]O)2Zn(CH[SUB 3]O)(OH)[Mo[SUB2]](PF[SUB6])2 (5) have been isolated and structurally characterized. As expected, oxidations occur at the dimolybdenum units. The mono-charged cations in 3 and 4 have asymmetric molecular structures with two distinct [Mo[SUB2]] units. In each case, one of the [Mo[SUB2]] units has a lengthened Mo-Mo bond distance of 2.151 [1] A, as expected for one-electron oxidation, whereas the other remains unchanged at 2.11511] A. These correspond to bond orders of 3.5 (σ[SUP2]π[SUP4]δ[SUP1]) and 4.0 (σ[SUP2]π[SUP4]δ[SUP2]), respectively. The crystallographic results thus show unambiguously that in the crystalline state, the mixed-valence compounds (3 and 4) are electronically localized and the unpaired electron is trapped on one [Mo[SUB2]] unit. These results are supported by the EPR spectra. The doubly oxidized compound 5 has two equivalent [Mo[SUB2]] units, both with a Mo-Mo bond distance of 2.14911] A. EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements for 5 indicate that there is no significant ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic spin coupling and the species is valence-trapped.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/10/23/ VL - 425 IS - 6960 M3 - Letter SP - 814 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - All conventional metals are known to possess a three-dimensional Fermi surface, which is the locus in reciprocal space of the long-lived electronic excitations that govern their electronic properties at low temperatures. These excitations should have well-defined momenta with components in all three dimensions. The high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) copper oxide superconductors have unusual, highly two-dimensional properties above the superconducting transition. This, coupled with a lack of unambiguous evidence for a three-dimensional Fermi surface, has led to many new and exotic models for the underlying electronic ground state. Here we report the observation of polar angular magnetoresistance oscillations in the overdoped superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+d in high magnetic fields, which firmly establishes the existence of a coherent three-dimensional Fermi surface. Analysis of the oscillations reveals that at certain symmetry points, however, this surface is strictly two-dimensional. This striking form of the Fermi surface topography, long-predicted by electronic band structure calculations, provides a natural explanation for a wide range of anisotropic properties both in the normal and superconducting states. Our data reveal that, despite their extreme electrical anisotropy, the high-Tc materials at high doping levels can be understood within a framework of conventional three-dimensional metal physics.

By using methods that enable the analysis of protamine binding to individual DNA molecules, we have monitored the kinetics of DNA condensation and decondensation by protamine 1 (P1) and synthetic peptides corresponding to specific segments of the bull P1 DNA binding domain. Our results show that the number of clustered arginine residues present in the DNA binding domain is the most important factor affecting the condensation and stability of the DNA-protamine complex prior to the formation of inter-protamine disulfide cross-links. The high affinity of P1 for DNA is achieved by the coordinated binding of three anchoring domains, which together in bull P1 contain 19 Arg residues. The single DNA molecule experiments show that sequences containing two or more anchoring domains have an offrate that is at least 3 orders of magnitude slower than those containing a single domain. The use of Arg, rather than Lys residues, and the inclusion of Tyr or Phc residues in the hinge regions between anchoring domains provide additional stability to the complex.

Satisfactory selectivity was found only on CHIRIS AD2. The ternary mobile phases comprised hexane, dichloromethane and methanol. The effects of their composition and of the temperature on the retention under analytical conditions and on the single-component and competitive isotherms were investigated. The retention of the R- and S-isomers on CHIRIS AD1 and CHIRIS AD2 is controlled by the enthalpic contribution to adsorption, but the effect of the mobile phase on the retention should be attributed mainly to the entropic contribution. The adsorption of the less retained R-isomer is controlled by the achiral interactions, which are the same as for the S-isomer. The single-component and competitive isotherms of the R- and S-isomers are adequately described by the sum of a Langmuir term for the achiral contribution to adsorption and a linear-term characterising the selective or chiral adsorption of the S-isomer in the concentration range experimentally available, i.e. within the solubility limit of 1,1′-bis(2-naphthol).

In a sequence of events, the retinal covalently attached to the rhodopsin protein undergoes a conformational change that communicates local changes to a global conformational change throughout the whole protein. In turn, the large-scale protein change then activates G-proteins and signal amplification throughout the cell. The nature of this change, involving a coupling between a local process and larger changes throughout the protein, may be important for many membrane proteins. In addition, functional work has shown that this coupling occurs with different efficiency in different lipid settings. To begin to understand the nature of the efficiency of this coupling in different lipid settings, we present a molecular dynamics study of rhodopsin in an explicit dioleoyl-phosphatidylcholine bilayer. Our system was simulated for 40 ns and provides insights into the very early events of the visual cascade, before the full transition and activation have occurred. In particular, we see an event near 10 ns that begins with a change in hydrogen bonding near the retinal and that leads through a series of coupled changes to a shift in helical tilt. This type of event, though rare on the molecular dynamics time-scale, could be an important clue to the types of coupling that occur between local and large-scale conformational change in many membrane proteins.

The ultimate tensile strength (Sut) of PPS bonded magnets decreases with increasing temperature. The tensile strength of PPS bonded Nd–Fe–B magnets was reduced significantly above 100 °C. At 180 °C, the PPS bonded magnets still exhibit a Sut of 16–18 MPa. For bonded magnets with about 60% volume fraction of Nd–Fe–B powder, the PPS bonded magnet shows about twice the tensile strength and half the ultimate strain compared to that of Nylon bonded magnet. At room temperature, the flexural strength is, in general, comparable to the tensile strength. Dynamic elastic modulus measured using the impact resonance method was in good agreement with the elastic modulus obtained from tensile tests. Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses of the fractured surfaces revealed two distinct failure mechanisms. Debonding along the Nd–Fe–B particle and PPS interface is the main cause for failures at 100 and 180 °C. The fracture of Nd–Fe–B particle was observed on the fracture surface of specimens tested at −40 and 23 °C.

The synthesis objective was to create an ideal core–shell structure of CrO2 surrounded by Al-YIG with possible application for magnetocaloric applications; however, agglomeration of the acicular CrO2 particles prevented individual particles from complete encapsulation by Al-YIG. This result was confirmed by electron microscopy. Due to the metastability of CrO2, magnetic interaction between the ferromagnetic CrO2 and the ferrimagnetic Al-YIG is found to be mediated by antiferromagnetic (AFM) Cr2O3. Low-temperature magnetic measurement provides distinct evidence of an exchange bias shift in the major hysteresis loop with features that are consistent with interfacial exchange from two kinds of interfaces: CrO2 (FM)/Cr2O3 (AFM) and Y3Fe3Al2O12 (FIM)/Cr2O3 (AFM). Subsequent ex situ heat treatment of the reacted particles accelerates the CrO2/Cr2O3 transformation and produces additional alterations to the low-temperature magnetic hysteresis loops. The results of this work provide evidence that the magnetic couplings at the FM/AFM and FIM/AFM interfaces are flexible under the action of applied fields, a conclusion that may be traced to the unique spin arrangement expected at the phase interfaces.

The generalized Schwinger mass formula and the decay predictions for the different limits are explained. An analytical formula for the valence content is given. It is shown that the lattice QCD results for the decay of a scalar glueball to two pseudoscalar mesons can be explained by a picture where the glueball decays purely via mixing with scalar mesons, which then subsequently decay via the 3P0 model. This picture predicts dominant a1π and significant (ππ)S(ππ)S decay for the lattice scalar glueball. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

However, the level repulsion between donor and acceptor states is weak due to symmetry considerations. Here, we propose an innovative approach to lower the donor ionization energy by combining donor with donor. Using first-principles band structure method, we demonstrated this concept with n-type doping in ZnTe. For example, we find that the Br[sub Te]–Sn[sub Zn] pair has a binding energy of 0.9 eV and a shallow ε(+/0) donor level at 70 meV below the conduction-band minimum, compared to 240 meV for the isolated Br[sub Te] impurity. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Transmission electron microscopic studies on as-quenched alloys reveal the presence of various kinds of structural disorder. Different kinds of disorder and the resulting deviation from the icosahedral symmetry have been reported. This appears to be the first report of these results on a Ti–Fe–Si system. Anisotropy in the shape of diffraction spots, strong arcs of diffuse scattering of icosahedral phase in melt-quenched alloys have been observed. The microstructure of the icosahedral Ti–Fe–Si alloys has been characterized. Results have been compared with other known Ti based quasicrystalline alloys and analyzed on the basis of current understanding.

There are three pieces of evidence for this exponential expansion — inflation — from observations of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. First, the shape of the primordial spectrum is very similar to that predicted by generic inflation models. Second, the angular scale at which the first acoustic peak appears is consistent with the flat universe predicted by inflation. Here I describe the third piece of evidence, perhaps the most convincing of all: the phase coherence needed to account for the clear peak/trough structure observed by the WMAP satellite and its predecessors. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A molecularly valid description of its hydration state, currently poorly understood, is a natural prerequisite to modeling chemical transformations involving HO−(aq). Here it is shown that the statistical mechanical quasi-chemical theory of solutions predicts that HO · [H2O]3− is the dominant inner shell coordination structure for HO−(aq) under standard conditions. Experimental observations and other theoretical calculations are adduced to support this conclusion. Hydration free energies of neutral combinations of simple cations with HO−(aq) are evaluated and agree well with experimental values.

The carbon number distribution of BAQCs indicates a biological origin. These compounds were observed but not identified in previous studies of 2.0 billion- to 2.2 billion-year-old metasediments and were commonly misidentified in other sediment samples, indicating that BAQCs are widespread in the geological record. The source organisms of BAQCs are unknown, but their paleobiogeographic distribution suggests that they have an affinity for sulfides and might be nonphotosynthetic sulfide oxidizers.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2003/10/28/ VL - 100 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 12564 EP - 12569 SN - 00278424 AB - In 1997, Jarzynski proved a remarkable equality that allows one to compute the equilibrium free-energy difference ΔF between two states from the probability distribution of the nonequilibrium work W done on the system to switch between the states, e[SUP-ΔF/kT] = (e[SUP-W/kT), [Jarzynski, C. (1997) Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 2690-2693]. The Jarzynski equality provides a powerful free-energy difference estimator from a set of N irreversible experiments and is closely related to free-energy perturbation, a common computational technique for estimating free-energy differences. Despite the many applications of the Jarzynski estimator, its behavior is only poorly understood. In this article we derive the large N limit for the Jarzynski estimator bias, variance, and mean square error that is correct for arbitrary perturbations. We then analyze the properties of the Jarzynski estimator for all N when the probability distribution of work values is Gaussian, as occurs, for example, in the near-equilibrium regime. This allows us to quantitatively compare it to two other free-energy difference estimators: the mean work estimator and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem estimator. We show that, for near-equilibrium switching, the Jarzynski estimator is always superior to the mean work estimator and is even superior to the fluctuation-dissipation estimator for small N. The Jarzynski-estimator bias is shown to be the dominant source of error in many cases. Our expression for the bias is used to develop a bias-corrected Jarzynski free-energy difference estimator in the near equilibrium regime.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2003/10/28/ VL - 100 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 12972 EP - 12977 SN - 00278424 AB - Worldwide, 90% of HIV-1 infections are transmitted heterosexually. Because the genital mucosa are the sites of initial contact with HIV-1 for most exposed individuals, study of the virus from the genital tract is critical for the development of vaccines and therapeutics. Previous analyses of HIV-1 in various tissues have documented compartmentalization of viral genomes. Whether compartmentalization was associated with viral phenotypic differences or immune status, however, was not well understood. We compared HIV-1 gp120 env sequences from the genital tract and plasma of 12 women. Eight women displayed compartmentalized HIV-1 RNA genomes, with viral sequences from each site that were clearly discrete, yet phylogenetically related. The remaining four exhibited env sequences that were intermingled between the two sites. Women with compartmentalized HIV-1 genomes had higher CD4+ cell counts than those displaying intermingled strains (P = 0.02). Intrapatient HIV-1 recombinants comprising sequences that were characteristic of both sites were identified. We next compared viral phenotypes in each compartment. HIV-1 coreceptor usage was often compartmentalized (P ≤ 0.01). The number of N-linked glycosylation sites, associated with neutralization resistance, also differed between compartments (P < 0.01). Furthermore, disparities between the density of gp120 glycosylations in each compartment correlated with higher CD4[SUP+] counts (P = 0.03). These data demonstrate that the genital tract and plasma can harbor populations of replicating HIV-1 with different phenotypes. The association of higher CD4+ cell counts with compartmentalization of viral genomes and density of gp120 glycosylations suggests that the immune response influences the development of viral genotypes in each compartment. These findings are relevant to the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection.

Photoluminescence studies of mixtures of the dendritic dyes show that at high dendron generation, significant site isolation is achieved with relative emission characteristics influenced by both the degree of site isolation and the emission quantum yield of the dyes. Electroluminescence studies carried out in organic light emitting diode devices confirm that color tuning may be achieved by mixing the two encapsulated dyes in a single layer. However, selective carrier trapping by one of the core component dyes can dramatically influence the effectiveness of other components in the device.

The dyes selected for this work were coumarin 343 and pentathiophene, as energy transfer processes prevail when the two dyes are intimately mixed but each should behave independently of the other if site-isolation is achieved. Because the two dyes have very different functional characteristics, a protocol involving orthogonal protecting groups and allowing the use of a single family of electroactive dendrons for their encapsulation had to be developed. The synthetic protocol must balance the need to incorporate electroactive groups at the periphery of the dendrons with the requirement for high solubility and a size sufficient to fully encapsulate the central dye. Because of their poor solubility and tendency to crystallize, dendrens with uniform triarylamine substitution proved unsatisfactory leading to the development of new unsymmetrical dendrons with alternating branched alkyl groups and triarylamine moieties at their periphery. These dendrons, which show excellent solubility and no tendency to crystallize, were assembled into large dendrimers using a modular protocol with the light emitting dye at their core. It is expected that the large size of the dendritic shell will provide effective site-isolation for the encapsulated central dyes enabling them to exhibit their intrinsic emission properties with minimal energy transfer between neighboring core fluorophores when processed in bulk thin films.

High-resolution f-f absorption and f-[SUP2]T[SUB2g] d absorption and emission spectra have been recorded at Iow temperatures for Ce[SUP3+] diluted into various hexachloroelpasolite lattices. A fluorescence spectrum at ∼50 000 cm[SUP-1] is tentatively assigned to the emission from the highest 5d crystal field level, [SUP2]E[SUBg], of a Ce[SUP3+] impurity in Cs[SUB2]NaErCI[SUB6], enabling the values of all the energy levels of both the 4f[SUP1] and 5d[SUP1] configurations to be given for Ce[SUP3+] in elpasolite hosts. Vibronic structure superimposed on the electronic transitions is analyzed in terms of a simple configurational coordinate model involving the ground and excited configurations. It is found that the difference in the Ce-CI bond length between the 4f[SUP1] and 5d[SUP1] configurations is ∼0.04 Å. Ab initio model potential calculations on the (CeCI[SUB6])[SUP3-] cluster embedded in a reliable representation of the Cs[SUB2]NaYCI[SUB6] host support these conclusions.

Lesions affecting one DNA strand (altered bases, abasic sites, single strand breaks (SSB)) as well as damages affecting both strands (clustered damages, double strand breaks) can be quantified by direct measurement of DNA using gel electrophoresis, gel imaging and number average length analysis. Damage frequencies as low as a few sites per gigabase pair (109 bp) can be quantified by this approach in about 50 ng of non-radioactive DNA, and single molecule methods may allow such measurements in DNA from single cells. This review presents the theoretical basis, biochemical requirements and practical aspects of this approach, and shows examples of their applications in identification and quantitation of complex clustered damages.

To understand the role of this adduct in the mechanism of mutagenicity or carcinogenicity by BCNU, an oligonucleotide with a site-specific EA was synthesized using phosphoramidite chemistry. We now report the in vitro miscoding properties of EA in translesion DNA synthesis catalyzed by mammalian DNA polymerases (pols) α, β, η and ι. These data were also compared with those obtained for the structurally related exocyclic adduct, 1,N6-ethenoadenine (ϵA). Using a primer extension assay, both pols α and β were primarily blocked by EA or ϵA with very minor extension. Pol η, a member of the Y family of polymerases, was capable of catalyzing a significant amount of bypass across both adducts. Pol η incorporated all four nucleotides opposite EA and ϵA, but with differential preferences and mainly in an error-prone manner. Human pol ι, a paralog of human pol η, was blocked by both adducts with a very small amount of synthesis past ϵA. It incorporated C and, to a much lesser extent, T, opposite either adduct. In addition, the presence of an A adduct, e.g. ϵA, could affect the specificity of pol ι toward the template T immediately 3′ to the adduct. In conclusion, the four polymerases assayed on templates containing an EA or ϵA showed differential bypass capacity and nucleotide incorporation specificity, with the two adducts not completely identical in influencing these properties. Although there was a measurable extent of error-free nucleotide incorporation, all these polymerases primarily misincorporated opposite EA, indicating that the adduct, similar to ϵA, is a miscoding lesion.

T1 - Steady-state 226Ra/230Th disequilibrium in mantle minerals: Implications for melt transport rates in island arcs JO - Earth & Planetary Science Letters JF - Earth & Planetary Science Letters Y1 - 2003/10/30/ VL - 215 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 339 SN - 0012821X AB - Measurements of the concentrations of the 238U decay series isotopes (234U, 230Th, 226Ra) have been used to estimate the rates at which magma is generated and transported in the mantle. The usual assumption is that solid mantle minerals are in radioactive equilibrium prior to melting. However, if one or more of the nuclides in the chain is strongly concentrated by a minor mineral, and if the diffusivity of that nuclide is large enough, steady-state radioactive disequilibrium can result in the solid phase. It can be inferred from available data that radium is strongly concentrated in minor hydroxyl-bearing mantle minerals (phlogopite and amphibole) relative to Th, and Ra diffusion in clinopyroxene is fast relative to the typical grain diameter at ca. 1100°C. Consequently, we show with simple analytical models that a steady-state Ra deficiency in clinopyroxene (cpx), accompanied by a complementary steady-state Ra excess in neighboring phlogopite (phlog) or amphibole (amph), is likely to be the normal situation in hydrous mantle peridotite with average clinopyroxene grain radii of ca. 1 mm. The steady state (226Ra/230Th) (parentheses indicating activity ratio) in the hydrous mineral is limited roughly by the mass ratio with clinopyroxene (i.e. cpx/phlog or cpx/amph) and could be as high as 10–100. The exceptionally high (226Ra/230Th) of some island arc lavas could therefore be a result of preferential contribution of phlogopite or amphibole during partial melting of hydrous mantle. This effect may ease time constraints for source-to-surface melt migration at island arcs. Incipient melting of hydrous minerals from channel walls during melt transport and/or late-stage incorporation of phlogopite or amphibole into arc magmas may also contribute to generating high (226Ra/230Th). Steady-state (226Ra/230Th) disequilibrium due to diffusive loss of 226Ra from clinopyroxene is also important for melt/solid and fluid/solid partitioning, and must be incorporated into models relating isotopic disequilibrium to melt and fluid transport rates. Diffusive effects could be important for other U-series nuclides in some circumstances.

The error estimate includes both systematic and random error at the level of one standard deviation. The measurements were carried out by simultaneously monitoring the temporal dependencies of the CN and OH radical concentrations on the same photolytic laser pulse that created the transient species. The rate constant was determined by two independent methods of data analysis: one based on the simulation of CN and OH concentration profiles using a detailed kinetic mechanism and the other based on a new integrated-profiles analysis (Int. J. Chem. Kinet. 1998, 30, 47).

The results complement and extend existing reports on symmetry-breaking in three main ways. Two of these aspects concern manifestations of symmetry-breaking. First, calculations are reported that show energies at long interatomic separations which are lower than the sum of the atomic limits. This artifactual behavior, observed both with Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density functional theory, appears to be largely associated with insufficiently flexible atomic orbital basis sets. Second, potential curves with spurious maxima and minima are found, associated with changes in spin-coupling. The third and final aspect, concerns the origin of symmetry-breaking. It is argued that the simplest way to understand symmetry breaking is as a consequence of the incorrect asymptotic behavior of limited wave functions at long interatomic distances.

(Rappé, A. K.; Casewit, C. J.; Colwell, K. S.; Goddard, W. A.; Skiff, W. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 10024) and the specific classical potentials developed from ab initio calculations for Au-benzenedithiol (BDT) molecule interaction to perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a BDT monolayer on an extended Au(111) surface. The simulation system consists of 100 BDT molecules and three rigid Au layers in a simulation box that is rhombic in the plane of the Au surface. A multiple time scale algorithm, the double-reversible reference system propagator algorithm (double RESPA) based on the Nosé-Hoover dynamics scheme, and the Ewald summation with a boundary correction term for the treatment of long-range electrostatic interactions in a 2-D slab have been incorporated into the simulation technique. We investigate the local bonding properties of Au-BDT contacts and molecular orientation distributions of BDT molecules. These results show that whereas different basis sets from ab initio calculations may generate different local bonding geometric parameters (the bond length, etc.) the packing structures of BDT molecules maintain approximately the same well-ordered herringbone structure with small peak differences in the probability distributions of global geometric parameters. The methodology developed here opens an avenue for classical simulations of a metal-molecule-metal complex in molecular electronics devices.

Taking an initial condition in which the attribute is asymmetrically distributed in the regions of momentum space occupied by the particles, we study the rate at which it becomes uniformly distributed, through collisions. We find, in some circumstances, a rate that is much faster than that which would be estimated from cross-sections. This behavior is attributable in some general sense to N-particle entanglement. We suggest applications to neutrino physics, where the attribute is neutrino flavor.

We find a KS probability for Nature''s choice of mixing angles equal to 64%, quite consistent with the anarchical hypothesis.

The mobile phase used was a mixture of methanol and water. The volume fraction of methanol was allowed to vary between 0 and 0.5. A general adsorption model, which expresses the amount of phenol adsorbed q* as a function of both its concentration C and the composition ϕ of the organic modifier (methanol) in the mobile phase, was empirically derived from previous independent adsorption experiments based on frontal analysis (FA) and frontal analysis by the characteristic point (FACP). Accordingly, the general model was an extension of the simplest heterogeneous model, the Bilangmuir model, to non-isocratic conditions. The low-energy sites followed the classical linear solvent strength model (LSSM), but not the high-energy sites whose saturation capacity linearly decreased with ϕ. The general model was validated by comparing the experimental and simulated band profiles in gradient elution conditions, in linear and non-linear conditions, as well. The band profiles were calculated by means of the equilibrium-dispersive model of chromatography with a finite difference algorithm. A very good agreement was observed using steps gradient (Δϕ) from 0 to 50% methanol and gradient times tg of 20, 25, 30, 40, 60, 80 and 100 min. The agreement was still excellent for steps gradient from 5 to 45% (tg=25 min), 5 to 35% (tg=50 min), 5 to 25% (tg=50 min) and 5 to 15% (tg=50 min). Significative differences appeared between experience and simulation when the slope of the gradient (Δϕ/tg) became too strong beyond 3.3% methanol per minute. This threshold value probably mirrored the kinetic of arrangement of the G18-bonded chains when the methanol content increased in the mobile phase. It suggested that the chromatographic system was not in a full thermodynamic equilibrium state when very steep mobile phase gradients were applied.

OSE cells express the estrogen receptor (ER)-α, and are the source of 90% of ovarian cancers. The potential sensitivity of OSE cells to estrogen stresses the importance of understanding the estrogen-dependent mechanisms at play in OSE proliferation and transformation, as well as in anticancer treatment. We investigated the effects of estradiol on cell proliferation in vitro, and demonstrate an intracellular locus of action of estradiol in cultured rhesus ovarian surface epithelial (RhOSE) cells. We show that ovarian and breast cells are growth-inhibited by micromolar concentrations of estradiol, and that this inhibition correlates with estrogen receptor expression. We further show that normal rhesus OSE cells do not activate ERK or Akt in response to estradiol, nor does estradiol block the ability of serum to stimulate ERK or induce cyclin D expression. Contrarily, estradiol inhibits serum-dependent retinoblastoma protein (Rb) phosphorylation and blocks DNA synthesis. This inhibition does not formally arrest cells, and is reversible within hours of estrogen withdrawal. Our data are consistent with growth inhibition by activation of Rb and indicate that sensitivity to hormone therapy in anticancer treatment can be modulated by cell cycle regulators downstream of the estrogen receptor.

Before this, buffering was primarily accomplished by adjustment of shallow-water carbonate deposition to balance oceanic inputs from weathering on land. Neoproterozoic ice ages of near-global extent and multimillion-year duration and the formation of distinctive sedimentary (cap) carbonates can thus be understood in terms of the greater sensitivity of the Precambrian carbon cycle to the loss of shallow-water environments and CO[sup2]-climate feedback on ice-sheet growth.

Several methods for the identification of twinning and the estimation of the twin fraction are suitable for macromolecular crystals and all are based on the statistical properties of the measured diffraction intensities. If the crystal twin fraction is estimated and is not too close to 0.5, the diffraction data can be detwinned; that is related to the individual crystal specimen. However, the detwinning procedure invariably introduces additional inaccuracies to the estimated intensities, which substantially increase when the twin fraction approaches 0.5. In some cases, a crystal structure can be solved with the original twinned data by standard techniques such as molecular replacement, multiple isomorphous replacement or multiwavelength anomalous diffraction. Test calculations on datacollected from a twinned crystal of gpD, the bacteriophage λ capsid protein, show that the single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) method can be used to solve its structure even if the data set corresponds to a perfectly twinned crystal with a twin fraction of 0.5.

The solute flux is described as a space–time process where time refers to the solute flux breakthrough and space refers to the transverse displacement distribution at a control plane. Flow nonstationarity may stem from various sources, such as the medium’s conductivity nonstationarity and complex hydraulic boundary conditions. The first two statistics of solute flux are derived using a Lagrangian framework and are expressed in terms of the probability density functions (PDFs). These PDFs are given in terms of one- and two-parcel moments of travel time and transverse locations, and these moments are related to the Eulerian velocity moments. The moment equations obtained analytically for flow and transport are so complex that numerical techniques are used to obtain solutions. In this study, we investigate the influence of various factors, such as the grid resolution relative to correlation length and the number of solute parcels comprising a source, on the accuracy of the calculation results. It has been found that for the computation of means and variances using the developed moment equations, hydraulic head requires at least one numerical grid element per correlation length scale. At least two grid elements are required for velocity, and 1–2 grid elements for the solute flux variance. Five parcels are required per correlation length scale to approximate the initial solute source distribution. The effects of boundary and hydraulic conductivity nonstationarity on flow and transport are also considered. Flow nonstationarity caused by either hydraulic boundary condition or conductivity nonstationarity significantly influences the transport process. The calculation results of numerical method of moments are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. The comparison indicates that the two methods are consistent with each other for head variance, velocity covariance in longitudinal direction, and mean and variance of total solute flux, but numerical method of moment underestimates the velocity variance in transverse direction. The method is applied to an environmental project for predicting the solute flux in the saturated zone below the Yucca Mountain project area, demonstrating the applicability of the method to complex subsurface environments.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 37 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 847 EP - 864 SN - 02786826 AB - Continuous, size resolved particle measurements were performed in two houses in order to determine size-dependent particle penetration into and deposition in the indoor environment. The experiments consisted of three parts: (1) measurement of the particle loss rate following artificial elevation of indoor particle concentrations, (2) rapid reduction in particle concentration through induced ventilation by pressurization of the houses with HEPA-filtered air, and (3) measurement of the particle concentration rebound after house pressurization stopped. During the particle concentration decay period, when indoor concentrations are very high, losses due to deposition are large compared to gains due to particle infiltration. During the concentration rebound period, the opposite is true. The large variation in indoor concentration allows the effects of penetration and deposition losses to be separated by the transient, two-parameter model we employed to analyze the data. For the two houses studied, we found that as particles increased in diameter from 0.1 to 10 µm, penetration factors ranged from ~1 to 0.3 and deposition loss rates ranged from 0.1 and 5 h-1. The decline in penetration factor with increasing particle size was less pronounced in the house with the larger normalized leakage area.

JO - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition JF - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 979 EP - 984 SN - 00029165 AB - Background: Protein is an important body component, and the presently accepted criterion method for estimating total body protein (TBPro) mass--in vivo neutron activation (IVNA) analysis-- is unavailable to most investigators and is associated with moderate radiation exposure. Objective: The objective was to derive a theoretical cellular level TBPro mass and distribution model formulated on measured total body potassium, total body water, and bone mineral and to evaluate the new model with the IVNA method as the criterion. Design: The new model was developed on the basis of a combination of theoretical equations and empirically derived coefficients. TBPro mass estimates with the new model were evaluated in healthy women (n = 183) and men (n = 24) and in men with AIDS (n = 84). Total body nitrogen was measured by IVNA, total body potassium by whole-body 40K counting, total body water by tritium dilution, and bone mineral by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The group mean (± SD) TBPro mass estimates in healthy women and men and men with AIDS (8.2 ± 0.9, 11.0 ± 1.8, and 10.5 ± 1.1 kg, respectively) with the new model were similar to IVNA criterion estimates (8.9 ± 0.9, 11.1 ± 1.6, and 10.9 ± 1.2 kg, respectively). TBPro mass estimates with the new model correlated highly with the IVNA estimates in all subjects combined (r = 0.92, P < 0.001). The new model suggests that the composite TBPro mass within each group consists mainly of cellular protein (75-79%) and, to a lesser extent, protein in extracellular solids (19-23%) and extracellular fluid (≈2%). Conclusion: The new model provides a non-IVNA approach for estimating protein mass and distribution in vivo.

JO - American Journal of Science JF - American Journal of Science Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 303 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 817 EP - 855 SN - 00029599 AB - Analysis of [sup 10]Be and [sup 26]Al in bedrock (n=10), colluvium (n=5 including grain size splits), and alluvial sediments (n=59 including grain size splits), coupled with field observations and GIS analysis, suggest that erosion rates in the Great Smoky Mountains are controlled by subsurface bedrock erosion and diffusive slope processes. The results indicate rapid alluvial transport, minimal alluvial storage, and suggest that most of the cosmogenic nuclide inventory in sediments is accumulated while they are eroding from bedrock and traveling down hill slopes. Spatially homogeneous erosion rates of 25-30 mm Ky[sup -1] are calculated throughout the Great Smoky Mountains using measured concentrations of cosmogenic [sup 10]Be and [sup 26]Al in quartz separated from alluvial sediment. [sup 10]Be and [sup 26]A1 concentrations in sediments collected from headwater tributaries that have no upstream samples (n=18) are consistent with an average erosion rate of 28 ± 8 mm Ky[sup -1], similar to that of the outlet rivers (n=16, 24 ± 6 mm Ky[sup -1]), which carry most of the sediment out of the mountain range. Grain-size-specific analysis of 6 alluvial sediment samples shows higher nuclide concentrations in smaller grain sizes than in larger ones. The difference in concentrations arises from the large elevation distribution of the source of the smaller grains compared with the narrow and relatively low source elevation of the large grains. Large sandstone clasts disaggregate into sand-size grains rapidly during weathering and downslope transport; thus, only clasts from the lower parts of slopes reach the streams. [sup 26]Al/[sup 10]Be ratios do not suggest significant burial periods for our samples. However, alluvial samples have lower [sup 26]Al/[sup 10]Be ratios than bedrock and colluvial samples, a trend consistent with a longer integrated cosmic ray exposure history that includes periods of burial during down-slope transport. The results confirm some of the basic ideas embedded in Davis' geographic cycle model, such as the reduction of relief through slope processes, and of Hack's dynamic equilibrium model such as the similarity of erosion rates across different lithologies. Comparing cosmogenic nuclide data with other measured and calculated erosion rates for the Appalachians, we conclude that rates of erosion, integrated over varying time periods from decades to a hundred million years are similar, the result of equilibrium between erosion and isostatic uplift in the southern Appalachian Mountains.

The device function was demonstrated using Jurkat cells that were loaded with the fluorogenic dyes - carboxyfluorescein diacetate, Oregon green carboxylic acid diacetate, or Calcein AM. The loaded cells were hydrodynamically transported from the cell-containing reservoir to a region on the microfluidic device where they were focused and then rapidly lysed using an electric field. Complete lysis was accomplished in <33 ms. The hydrolyzed, fluorescent dyes in the cell lysate were automatically injected into a separation channel on the device and detected 3 mm downstream of the injection point. The total separation time was ∼2.2 s with absolute migration time reproducibilities of <1% and efficiencies ranging from 2300 to 4000 theoretical plates. Results from 139 cells are reported. A small fraction of these cells, ∼9%, were found to enzymatically hydrolyze the loaded dyes in a manner significantly different from the majority of the cells. Cell analysis rates of 7-12 cells/min were demonstrated and are >100 times faster than those reported using standard bench-scale capillary electrophoresis.

RPLC Separations. JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/11//11/1/2003 VL - 75 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 5726 EP - 5738 SN - 00032700 AB - Single component adsorption isotherms of phenol and caffeine were measured on six different commercial brands of end-capped C18-bonded silica columns (five rnonomeric bonded phases: Kromasil, Waters Symmetry, Phenomenex, Hypersil, and Chromolith from Merck; one polymeric bonded phase, Vydac) with the same methanol/ water solution (30/70, v/v) as the mobile phase. Adsorption data were acquired by frontal analysis (FA) for all these columns in the same way. Depending on their solubility in the mobile phase, the concentrations used ranged between I and 100 g/L and between 0.35 and 35 g/L for phenol and caffeine, respectively. Twenty-two adsorption data points were recorded over these ranges. In each case, the best isotherm model accounting for all sets of adsorption data is the bi-Langmuir model, all columns behaving as heterogeneous adsorbents despite the end capping. Depending on the column, the high-energy sites accounts for between 30 and 40% and between 4 and 7% of the total saturation capacity for phenol and caffeine, respectively. Except for the polymeric phase (Vydac), the ratio of the adsorption constants on the high-and low-energy sites is constant at around 10 for both phenol and caffeine, corresponding to an average adsorption energy difference of 5 kJ/mol between these two sites. The exact nature of the high-energy sites is illustrated by the following properties: (i) they have a very low selectivity for caffeine, with α[SUBcaffeine/phenol] close to 0.4 for the five monomeric columns, which suggests the complete derivatization of residual silanols; (ii) the high-energy sites account for a large fraction of the surface area of these packing materials (35% for phenol, 6% for caffeine); (iii) there is a small adsorption energy difference between high and low adsorption energy sites (5 kJ/mol); and (iv) the adsorption constants increase with increasing surface coverage of the monomeric columns. Thus, the high-energy sites cannot he residual free silanols of the bare silica. More likely, they are related to the local heterogeneity of the C[SUB18]-bonded-layer structure. Caffeine is more strongly retained on the low-energy sites than phenol (the product q[SUBs], [SUB1]b[SUB1] is larger for caffeine) but the contribution of the high-energy sites (q[SUBs], [SUB2]b[SUB2]) is markedly lower for caffeine than for phenol, despite the larger value of the adsorption constant, b2. Because of a larger molecular size, caffeine cannot penetrate as deeply as phenol inside the bonded layer. This explains the paradox of a stronger retention for phenol than for caffeine on end-capped C18-bonded stationary phases.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/11//11/1/2003 VL - 75 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 5936 EP - 5943 SN - 00032700 AB - A novel reagent for low-level detection in immunoadsorbent assays is described. The reagent consists of gold nanoparticles modified to integrate bioselective species (e.g., antibodies) with molecular labels for the generation of intense, biolyte-selective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responses in immunoassays and other bioanalytical applications. The reagent is constructed by coating gold nanoparticles (30 nm) with a monolayer of an intrinsically strong Raman scatterer. These monolayerlevel labels are bifunctional by design and contain disulfides for chemisorption to the nanoparticle surface and succinimides for coupling to the bioselective species. There are two important elements in this label design; it both minimizes the separation between label and particle surface and maximizes the number of labels on each particle. This approach to labeling also exploits several other advantages of SERS-based labels: narrow spectral bandwidth, resistance to photobleaching and quenching, and long-wavelength excitation of multiple labels with a single excitation source. The strengths of this strategy are demonstrated in the detection of free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) using a sandwich assay format based on monoclonal antibodies. Detection limits of ∼1 pg/mL in human serum and ∼4 pg/mL in bovine serum albumin have been achieved with a spectrometer readout time of 60 s. The extension of the method to multianalyte assays (e.g., the simultaneous determination of the many complexed forms of PSA) is discussed.

This new proof depends on a general theorem, called the hierarchy theorem, that shows the successive stages in the iteration to form a monotonically increasing sequence of approximations to the energy and to the wavefunction at any point x. This important property makes possible a much simpler proof of convergence than the one given before in the literature. The hierarchy theorem proven in this paper is applicable to a much wider class of potentials which includes the quartic potential.

From this, the effective Hamiltonian of the nonlinear point-coupling model in the nonrelativistic limit is derived. Different from the nonrelativistic models, the nonlinearity in the relativistic models automatically yields contributions in the form of a weak density dependence not only in the central potential but also in the spin–orbit potential. The central potential affects the bulk and surface properties while the spin–orbit potential is crucial for the shell structure of finite nuclei. A modification in the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock model with a density-dependent spin–orbit potential inspired by the point-coupling model is suggested.

The sources of uncertainties in photochemical air quality simulation models (PAQSMs) are described. Regulatory requirements for evaluating PAQSM performance and uncertainty concerns not addressed through standard performance evaluations are discussed. Avail-able techniques for evaluating uncertainties are presented. Experiences with analyses conducted most commonly are reviewed, as are those that might be used in a cohesive model uncertainty evaluation. The review concludes with a call for renewed emphasis on applying current techniques complemented by heretofore sparsely used diagnostic, corroborative, and alternative approaches and enhanced observational databases.

Efforts to assess human and ecosystem exposure to contaminants from multiple environmental media have been evolving over the last several decades. In this review, we summarize the development and evolution of the multimedia mass-balance approach to pollutant fate and exposure evaluation and illustrate some of the calculations used in multimedia assessments. The concepts that form the foundation of Mackay-type mass-balance compartment models are described, and the ongoing efforts to use multimedia models to quantify human exposures are discussed. A series of case studies of varying complexity are used to illustrate capabilities and limitations of selected multimedia approaches. We look to the future and consider current challenges and opportunities in the field of multimedia contaminant fate and exposure modeling.

JO - Annual Review of Environment & Resources JF - Annual Review of Environment & Resources Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 28 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 521 EP - 558 PB - Annual Reviews Inc. SN - 15435938 AB - Agriculture and industrial development have led to inadvertent changes in the natural carbon cycle. As a consequence, concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere and may lead to changes in climate. The current challenge facing society is to develop options for future management of the carbon cycle. A variety of approaches has been suggested: direct reduction of emissions, deliberate manipulation of the natural carbon cycle to enhance sequestration, and capture and isolation of carbon from fossil fuel use. Policy development to date has laid out some of the general principles to which carbon management should adhere. These are summarized as: how much carbon is stored, by what means, and for how long. To successfully manage carbon for climate purposes requires increased understanding of carbon cycle dynamics and improvement in the scientific capabilities available for measurement as well as for policy needs. The specific needs for scientific information to underpin carbon cycle management decisions are not yet broadly known. A stronger dialogue between decision makers and scientists must be developed to foster improved application of scientific knowledge to decisions. This review focuses on the current knowledge of the carbon cycle, carbon measurement capabilities (with an emphasis on the continental scale) and the relevance of carbon cycle science to carbon sequestration goals.

We measured fine root density, microbial biomass nitrogen, rates of nitrogen mineralization and nitrification, substrate utilization by soil bacteria and extracellular enzyme activities (EEA) associated with bulk soil and fine root rhizoplanes within a 3-year period at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Free Air Carbon Enrichment (FACE) experiment, situated in a Liquidambar styraciflua plantation. Rhizoplane EEA was similar to that of bulk soil. Prior studies have reported a 21% increase in net primary production (NPP) in the enrichment plots and evidence that additional carbon is reaching the soil system, however we observed no response in any of the variables we measured. These results, which contrast with those from other temperate forest FACE sites, suggest that soil characteristics can influence the magnitude and timing of belowground responses.

T1 - Optimal viral production JO - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology JF - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 65 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1003 SN - 00928240 AB - Viruses reproduce by multiplying within host cells. The reproductive fitness of a virus is proportional to the number of offspring it can produce during the lifetime of the cell it infects. If viral production rates are independent of cell death rate, then one expects natural selection will favor viruses that maximize their production rates. However, if increases in the viral production rate lead to an increase in the cell death rate, then the viral production rate that maximizes fitness may be less than the maximum. Here we pose the question of how fast should a virus replicate in order to maximize the number of progeny virions that it produces. We present a general mathematical framework for studying problems of this type, which may be adapted to many host–parasite systems, and use it to examine the optimal virus production scheduling problem from the perspective of the virus.

JO - Canadian Journal of Forest Research JF - Canadian Journal of Forest Research Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 33 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2245 EP - 2251 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00455067 AB - More than 300 kb of DNA sequence from five Populus bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones was compared with the complete sequence of the Arabidopsis genome to search for collinearity between the genomes of these two plant genera. Approximately 27% of the DNA sequences from the Populus genome were homologous to protein-coding regions in the Arabidopsis genome. BLAST scores and synteny were used to infer orthologous relationships between the Populus and Arabidopsis homologs. The probability that any pair of genes on a single Populus BAC will have orthologs on the same Arabidopsis chromosome is 46%–58%, substantially greater than the 20% expectation if there is no conservation of synteny between the Populus and Arabidopsis genomes. Likewise, the probability that any pair of genes on a single Populus BAC will have orthologs on a single Arabidopsis BAC is 19%–25%, much higher than the 0.1% expected if the orthologs are randomly distributed. These results provide evidence for substantial "pockets" of conserved microcollinearity between regions of the Populus and Arabidopsis genomes as well as for conservation of synteny even when local gene collinearity is not preserved during genome evolution.

Les séquences de Populus ont été déterminées à partir de cinq portions du génome clonées à l'aide de chromosomes bactériens artificiels (CBA). Approximativement 27 % des séquences d'ADN de Populus étaient homologues aux régions codant pour des protéines du génome d'Arabidopsis. Les résultats de comparaison des séquences à l'aide du logiciel BLAST ainsi que la synténie ont été utilisés afin de vérifier l'orthologie entre les homologues de Populus et d'Arabidopsis. La probabilité que n'importe quelle paire de gènes d'un clone unique de CBA de Populus possède des orthologues sur le même chromosome d'Arabidopsis est de 46 à 58 %. Cette probabilité est beaucoup plus élevée que l'espérance de 20 % si la synténie n'était pas conservée entre les génomes de Populus et d'Arabidopsis. De la même façon, la probabilité que n'importe quelle paire de gènes d'un clone unique de CBA de Populus ait des orthologues sur un clone unique de CBA d'Arabidopsis est de 19 à 25 %, ce qui est plus élevé que le seuil de 0,1 % attendu si les orthologues étaient distribués aléatoirement. Ces résultats constituent des preuves que d'importantes zones conservées de micro-colinéarité existent entre les régions du génome de Populus et celui d'Arabidopsis, et que la synténie demeure conservée même lorsque la colinéarité locale des gènes n'a pas été préservée durant l'évolution des génomes.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Forest Research is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We found that both Co and Mo are present in catalytic particles at the tips of CNTs, but their compositions vary from one catalytic particle to another and significantly deviate from the initial mixing composition. The Co concentration and distribution in the catalytic particle of a CNT largely determines the length of the CNT. The CNT growth process is carbon adsorption on exposed area of a catalytic particle and subsequent precipitation at the CNT-catalyst interface or open CNT wall edges. The encapsulation of a catalytic particle was found to occur by the growth of the open-edged graphene walls around the particle. Two types of long CNTs were observed: one with their CNT walls ended at the CNT-particle interface, and the other with their CNT walls open to the environment. The former have diameters similar to their catalytic particle size while the latter have larger diameters.

The interaction of AVP with two viral cofactors and with a cellular cofactor, actin, is characterized by quantitative analyses. The results are consistent with a specific model for the regulation of AVP. Late in adenovirus infection, inside nascent virions, AVP becomes partially activated by binding to the viral DNA, allowing it to cleave out an 11-amino-acid viral peptide, pVIc, that binds to AVP and fully activates it. Then, about 70 AVP-pVIc complexes move along the viral DNA, via one-dimensional diffusion, cleaving virion precursor proteins 3200 times to render a virus particle infectious. Late in adenovirus infection, in the cytoplasm, the cytoskeleton is destroyed. The amino acid sequence of the C terminus of actin is homologous to that of pVIc, and actin, like pVIc, can act as a cofactor for AVP in the cleavage of cytokeratin 18 and of actin itself. Thus, AVP may also play a role in cell lysis.

It can be observed when the spectral splitting of the principal g-factor components is larger than the linewidth due to unresolved hyperfine splitting and if there is no g-strain obscuring it. For large organic molecules such as the primary electron donor in photosynthetic reaction centers (RC) this usually requires fields above 11 T, or, for fields between 3 and 11 T, full deuteration and/or single crystal work. Here we present for the first time the fully resolved rhombic EPR spectrum of the primary donor of Blastochloris viridis (formerly called Rhodopseudomonas viridis), a purple photosynthetic bacterium containing bacteriochlorophyll b. As was the case for Rhodobacter sphaeroides, g-strain is negligible for this radical up to a field of 24 T. The temperature dependence of the g-anisotropy is presented and compared with that of the bacteriochlorophyll a-containing Rb. sphaeroides and plant photosystem I. A slight shift in the principal components of the g-matrix is observed at temperatures below 70 K, where it becomes more axial. The experimental work is complemented with theoretical calculations for g using the semi-empirical INDO/S method as implemented in the program ZINDO. The theoretical results generally agree well with the experiment. This indicates that a satisfactory description of the anisotropic g-tensor for radical cations of large planar molecules like the chlorophylls as well as their aggregates, e.g., reaction center primary donor special pairs, is possible with this relatively cheap semi-empirical approach.

Wild-type and L(M212)H mutant RCs that have been isolated using the detergent Deriphat 160-C both display somewhat slower initial charge separation (longer P* lifetimes) than the same RCs isolated using the detergent LDAO. For the F(L181)Y/Y(M208)F/L(M212)H triple mutant, the differences in the initial charge separation events for Deriphat-versus LDAO-isolated RCs are more significant. In all cases, use of Deriphat 160-C to extract the protein from the membrane yields RCs in which the QY band of P is retained at its native position near 865 nm, whereas LDAO extraction yields RCs that have the P band near 850 nm. Origins of the differences in both the ground state spectrum and the photochemistry, including possible RC–lipid associations, are considered.

T1 - Lysine substitutions near photoactive cofactors in the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center have opposite effects on the rate of triplet energy transfer JO - Chemical Physics JF - Chemical Physics Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 294 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 329 SN - 03010104 AB - Rates of triplet energy transfer have been investigated by time-resolved pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in mutant photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) from both Rhodobacter (R.) sphaeroides and R. capsulatus. Mutant RCs of both species harbor lysines in place of native residues of the L subunit at position 178 or 181 near monomeric bacteriochlorophyll BB. Analysis of kinetic measurements acquired throughout a range of temperatures demonstrated an increased rate of triplet transfer in the L178Ser Lys (“L178K”) mutant RCs and a decreased rate in the L181Phe Lys (“L181K”) mutant RCs from both species relative to their respective wild types. Activation energies extracted from Arrhenius plots suggest that triplet transfer in the L178K mutant RC is nearly isoenergetic with wild-type transfer while triplet transfer in the L181K mutant RC requires significantly less activation energy. This latter finding is counter to the observation of slower triplet transfer in the L181K mutant RC. Preliminary structural data offer evidence for direct ligation between the L181 lysine side chain and the central magnesium of BB, but the side chain of L178K is disordered. Our spectroscopic data suggest that these lysine substitutions elicit opposing changes in the relative geometric orientation of BB and that subtle changes in the protein environment can have dramatic and opposing effects on the rates of the photoprotective triplet energy transfer reaction.

X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of hydroxysulfate green rust suspensions spiked with aqueous solutions of AgCH3COO, AuCln(OH)4−n, CuCl2, or HgCl2 showed that AgI, AuIII, CuII, and HgII were readily reduced to Ag0, Au0, Cu0, and Hg0. Imaging of the resulting solids from the AgI-, AuIII-, and CuII-amended green rust suspensions by transmission electron microscopy indicated the formation of submicron-sized particles of Ag0, Au0, and Cu0. The facile reduction of AgI, AuIII, CuII, and HgII to Ag0, Au0, Cu0, and Hg0, respectively, by green rust suggests that the presence of green rusts in suboxic soils and sediments can have a significant impact on the biogeochemistry of silver, gold, copper, and mercury, particularly with respect to their mobility.

SN - 09307575 AB - We examine simulations of today's climate performed with a global atmospheric general circulation model run at spectral truncations of T42, T170, and T239, corresponding to grid cell sizes of roughly 310 km, 75 km, and 55 km, respectively. The simulations were forced with observed sea-surface temperatures and sea-ice concentrations. The T42 simulations and initial simulations at T170 and T239 were performed using a model version that was carefully "tuned" to optimize results at T42; subsequent simulations at T170 and T239 used a model version that was partly re-tuned to improve results at T170. On the scales of a T42 grid cell and larger, nearly all quantities we examined in all the T170 and T239 simulations agree better with observations, at least in terms of spatial patterns, than in the T42 simulations. In some cases the improvements are very substantial. Improvements are seen in all-season, global domain results, and in results pertaining to most seasons and latitude bands. Increasing the model resolution from T42 introduces biases (errors in the mean) into some simulated quantities; the worst of these were removed by the partial retuning we performed at T170. This retuning has little effect on the spatial patterns of results, except in Northern Hemisphere winter at T170, where it tends to bring improvements. We discuss aspects of simulated regional climates, and their dependence on model resolution.

SN - 09307575 AB - We report results from the highest-resolution simulations of global warming yet performed with an atmospheric general circulation model. We compare the climatic response to increased greenhouse gases of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) climate model, CCM3, at T42 and T170 resolutions (horizontal grid spacing of 300 and 75 km respectively). All simulations use prescribed sea surface temperatures (SST). Simulations of the climate of 2100 ad use SSTs based on those from NCAR coupled model, Climate System Model (CSM). We find that the global climate sensitivity and large-scale patterns of climate change are similar at T42 and T170. However, there are important regional scale differences that arise due to better representation of topography and other factors at high resolution. Caution should be exercised in interpreting specific features in our results both because we have performed climate simulations using a single atmospheric general circulation model and because we used with prescribed sea surface temperatures rather than interactive ocean and sea-ice models.

Multi-terabyte and even petabyte data sets are emerging as major assets. The World-Wide Telescope linking hundreds of digital sky surveys is revolutionizing astronomy. And in industry multi-terabyte data warehouses of consumer transactional data are increasingly common. Today, data warehouses are centralized repositories of data used for reporting and querying. High-speed optical networks make it possible for data to instead be stored at its source. The article also informs that distributed data sources can be diverse in their formats, schema, quality, access mechanisms, ownership, access policies and capabilities. It says that data mining emerged from statistics as a new discipline during the past decade, as large data sets became more and more common and the need for new technology to mine them became critical.

If the mesh moves to track fronts and large gradients in the solution, then larger time steps can be taken than if it were to remain stationary. We derive explicit differential equations for moving the mesh so that the time variation of the solution at the mesh points is minimized. Moving the mesh based on this approach allows for larger time steps but does not guarantee that the solution is well resolved in space. We maintain spatial accuracy when there are new emerging layers or wave fronts by adaptively rezoning the mesh points to equidistribute an error estimate. When using a multistep integration method, the past solution values are also interpolated so that the same multistep method can be used after rezoning. The resulting algorithm has very few problem-dependent numerical parameters and is appropriate for a large class of one-dimensional partial differential equations. We illustrate the performance of the algorithm by examples and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is efficient and accurate when compared with other adaptive mesh strategies.

The chemical formula of akagane´ite can be written as FeO0.833(OH)1.167Cl0.167. The crystal structure does not contain free water. Heating below 200 °C will not alter the akagane´ite structure. Initial water loss can be attributed to a large amount of adsorbed water due to a very small particle size; 0.15 μm by 0.03 μm. Chloride is released from the structure only in connection with the transformation to hematite. Due to its stability, the presence of akagane´ite does not in itself posses a threat to iron artifacts, but it is rather a symptom of the presence of high concentrations of chloride in an acidic environment.

The EcR-USP heterodimer preferentially mediates transcription through highly degenerate pseudo-palindromic response elements, resembling inverted repeats of 5′-AGGTCA-3′ separated by 1 bp (IR-1). The requirement for a heterodimeric arrangement of EcR-USP subunits to bind to a symmetric DNA is unusual within the nuclear receptor superfamily. We describe the 2.24 Å structure of the EcR-USP DNA-binding domain (DBD) heterodimer bound to an idealized IR-1 element. EcR and USP use similar surfaces, and rely on the deformed minor groove of the DNA to establish protein-protein contacts. As retinoid X receptor (RXR) is the mammalian homolog of USP, we also solved the 2.60 Å crystal structure of the EcR-RXR DBD heterodimer on IR-1 and found the dimerization and DNA-binding interfaces to be the same as in the EcR-USP complex. Sequence alignments indicate that the EcR-RXR heterodimer is an important model for understanding how the FXR-RXR heterodimer binds to IR-1 sites.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 5 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1071 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - Lechuguilla Cave is an ancient, deep, oligotrophic subterranean environment that contains an abundance of low-density ferromanganese deposits, the origin of which is uncertain. To assess the possibility that biotic factors may be involved in the production of these deposits and to investigate the nature of the microbial community in these materials, we carried out culture-independent, small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) sequence-based studies from two sites and from manganese and iron enrichment cultures inoculated with ferromanganese deposits from Lechuguilla and Spider Caves. Sequence analysis showed the presence of some organisms whose closest relatives are known iron- and manganese-oxidizing/reducing bacteria, including Hyphomicrobium, Pedomicrobium, Leptospirillum, Stenotrophomonas and Pantoea. The dominant clone types in one site grouped with mesophilic Archaea in both the Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota. The second site was dominated almost entirely by lactobacilli. Other clone sequences were most closely related to those of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, actinomycetes and β- and γ-Proteobacteria. Geochemical analyses showed a fourfold enrichment of oxidized iron and manganese from bedrock to darkest ferromanganese deposits. These data support our hypothesis that microorganisms may contribute to the formation of manganese and iron oxide-rich deposits and a diverse microbial community is present in these unusual secondary mineral formations.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 5 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1094 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - Halite crystals were selected from a 186 m subsurface core taken from the Badwater salt pan, Death Valley, California to ascertain if halophilic Archaea and their associated 16S rDNA can survive over several tens of thousands of years. Using a combined microscope microdrill/micropipette system, fluids from brine inclusions were aseptically extracted from primary, hopper texture, halite crystals from 8 and 85 metres below the surface (mbls). U-Th disequilibrium dating indicates that these halite layers were deposited at 9600 and 97 000 years before present (ybp) respectively. Extracted inclusions were used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with haloarchaea-specific 16S rDNA primers or placed into haloarchaea culture medium. Enrichment cultures were obtained from 97 kyr halite crystal inclusion fluid and haloarchaea-containing prepared crystals (positive controls), whereas inclusions from crystals of 9.6 kyr halite and the haloarchaea-free halite crystals (negative controls) resulted in no growth. Phylogenetic analysis (16S rDNA) of the 97 kyr isolate, designated BBH 001, revealed a homology of 100% with Halobacterium salinarum. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that BBH 001 was closely related to H. salinarum (81–75% hybridization) and its ascription to this haloarchaea species. The described method of retrieving particle-containing brine from fluid inclusions offers a robust approach for assessing the antiquity of microorganisms associated with evaporites.

JO - Environmental Microbiology JF - Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 5 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1168 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14622912 AB - Rock, air and service water samples were collected for microbial analyses from 3.2 kilometres depth in a working Au mine in the Witwatersrand basin, South Africa. The ∼ metre-wide mined zone was comprised of a carbonaceous, quartz, sulphide, uraninite and Au bearing layer, called the Carbon Leader, sandwiched by quartzite and conglomerate. The microbial community in the service water was dominated by mesophilic aerobic and anaerobic, α-, β- and γ- Proteobacteria with a total biomass concentration ∼104 cells ml−1, whereas, that of the mine air was dominated by members of the Chlorobi and Bacteroidetes groups and a fungal component. The microorganisms in the Carbon Leader were predominantly mesophilic, aerobic heterotrophic, nitrate reducing and methylotrophic, β- and γ- Proteobacteria that were more closely related to service water microorganisms than to air microbes. Rhodamine WT dye and fluorescent microspheres employed as contaminant tracers, however, indicated that service water contamination of most of the rock samples was < 0.01% during acquisition. The microbial contaminants most likely originated from the service water, infiltrated the low permeability rock through and accumulated within mining-induced fractures where they survived for several days before being mined. Combined PLFA and terminal restriction fragment length profile (T-RFLP) analyses suggest that the maximum concentration of indigenous microorganisms in the Carbon Leader was < 102 cells g−1. PLFA, 35S autoradiography and enrichments suggest that the adjacent quartzite was less contaminated and contained ∼103 cells gram−1 of thermophilic, sulphate reducing bacteria, SRB, some of which are δ- Proteobacteria. Pore water and rock geochemical analyses suggest that these SRB′s may have been sustained by sulphate diffusing from the adjacent U-rich, Carbon Leader where it was formed by radiolysis of sulphide.

The kinetics study performed by the batch method showed that maximum adsorption of Eu(III) and Cm(III) on C. vulgaris was attained within 3 min of contact; afterward, the percentage adsorption decreased with time due to chelation of the ions with exudates released from C. vulgaris with a strong affinity for Eu(III) and Cm(III). The TRLFS revealed that the short-term adsorption of Eu(III) on C. vulgaris was attributable to its coordination with cellulose on the algal cell wall. However, Eu(III) coordinated with the functional groups of cellulose very weakly despite the large distribution coefficients observed. These results indicate that the reactions, both at the cell's surfaces through adsorption and in solution phases through chelation with the exudates, are important in estimating the behavior of Eu(III) and Cm(III) in aqueous environments.

SN - 14346001 AB - The possibility that gluonic excitations of hadronic matter or of the QCD vacuum may exist is perhaps one of the most fascinating topics in hadron spectroscopy. Glue balls are predicted by many models; in particular, present-day lattice gauge calculations require their existence. All these models agree that the lightest glueball should have scalar quantum numbers and a mass around 1.6 GeV, which corresponds to the mass region where the scalar q&qmacr;-mesons are expected. Therefore, mixing effects can complicate the search for the glue ball. Experiments indeed show an overpopulation of states, for which many different interpretations exist. This reflects the complexity of the situation. New data from various experiments on scalar states give hints toward an interpretation of the scalar states. But still many questions remain.

The experiment has been performed in Hall C of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. With Gmn being known Gen can be deduced.

SN - 14346001 AB - We investigate the in-medium modification of pseudoscalar and vector mesons in a QCD- motivated chiral quark model by solving the Dyson-Schwinger equations for quarks and mesons at finite temperature for a wide mass range of meson masses, from light (π, p) to open-charm (D, D*M) states. At the chiral/deconfinement phase transition, the quark-antiquark bound states enter the continuum of unbound states and become broad resonances (hadronic Mott effect). We calculate the in-medium cross-sections for charmonium dissociation due to collisions with light hadrons in a chiral Lagrangian approach, and show that the D- and D* -meson spectral broadening lowers the threshold for charmonium dissociation byπ and p-mesons. This leads to a step-like enhancement in the reaction rate. We suggest that this mechanism for enhanced charmonium dissociation may be the physical mechanism underlying the anomalous J/ψ suppression observed by NA5O.

SN - 14346028 AB - The magnetic ordering of fluorite structure uranium dioxide has been investigated using fully-relativistic linear combinations of Gaussian type orbitals - fitting function (LCGTO-FF) calculations, within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to density functional theory. Three types of collinear spin-orderings were considered; ferromagnetic with spins aligned in the (001) direction and two antiferromagnetic (001) layer structures with spins aligned either perpendicular to each plane (001) or parallel to each plane (100). For each ordering, the total energy and spin-moment were calculated both with and without spin-orbit coupling. The ferromagnetic ordering is found to be energetically preferred to the antiferromagnetic orderings, contrary to experiment, whether or not spin-orbit coupling is included. Spin-orbit coupling is shown to have a significant quenching effect on the spin-moment and also introduces a strong magnetic anisotropy in the antiferromagnetic state that favors the (001) alignment over the (100) alignment.

JO - Geological Society of America Bulletin JF - Geological Society of America Bulletin Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 115 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1356 EP - 1364 SN - 00167606 AB - Glacial successions in the Anyemaqen and Nianbaoyeze Mountains of northeastern Tibet are reassessed and new glacial chronologies are presented for these regions. Cosmogenic radionuclide and optically stimulated luminescence dating indicates that two glacial advances occurred in marine isotope stage (MIS)-3 and MIS-2. In the Anyemaqen Mountains, a third advance occurred in the Early Holocene. We suggest that glaciation was synchronous in the Anyemaqen and Nianbaoyeze Mountains, as well as in other glaciated areas of Tibet and the Himalaya that are influenced by the Asian monsoon. The maximum extent of glaciation occurred early in the last glacial cycle (MIS-3) during a time of increased insolation when the monsoon intensified and supplied abundant precipitation, as snow at high altitude, to feed high-altitude glaciers. This suggests that precipitation, as snow, is fundamental in controlling glaciation in these regions. However, the occurrence of glacial advances during the insolation minimum of MIS-2 suggests that, despite reduced precipitation at this time, the annual temperatures were cold enough to maintain positive glacier mass balances. The numerically defined chronologies for the Anyemaqen and Nianbaoyeze Mountains presented here provide a framework for comparing glacial advances in other parts of high Asia.

T1 - Temporal Shifts in the Geochemistry and Microbial Community Structure of an Ultradeep Mine Borehole Following Isolation. JO - Geomicrobiology Journal JF - Geomicrobiology Journal Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 20 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 517 EP - 548 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 01490451 AB - A borehole draining a water-bearing dyke fracture at 3.2-km depth in a South African Au mine was isolated from the open mine environment. Geochemical, stable isotopic, nucleic acid-based, and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analyses were employed as culture-independent means for assessing shifts in the microbial community and habitat as the system equilibrated with the native rock-water environment. Over a two-month period, the pH increased from 5.5 to 7.4, concurrent with a drop in pe from -2 to -3. Whereas rDNAs related to Desulfotomaculum spp. represented the major clone type encountered throughout, lipid biomarker profiling along with 16S rDNA clone library and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses indicated the emergence of other Gram-positive and deeply-branching lineages in samples during the later stages of the equilibration period. A biofilm that formed on the mine wall below the borehole produced abundant rDNAs related to the α Proteobacteria . β- and γ - Proteobacteria appeared to transiently bloom in the borehole shortly after isolation. Chemical modeling and sulfur isotope analyses of the borehole effluent indicated that microbial sulfate reduction was the major terminal electron-accepting process shortly after isolation, whereas Fe +3 reduction dominated towards the end of the experiment. The persistence of Desulfotomaculum -like bacteria throughout suggests that these organisms adapted to changing geochemical conditions as the redox decreased and pH increased following the isolation of the borehole from the mine atmosphere. The restoration of anaerobic aquatic chemistry to this borehole environment may have allowed microbiota indigenous to the local basalt aquifer to become more dominant among the diverse collection of bacterial lineages present in the borehole.

B. selenitireducens was also able to reduce selenite [Se(IV)] through Se(0) to Se(-II). Reduction of Se(0) by B. selenitireducens was more rapid in cells grown on colloidal sulfur [S(0)] or Se(IV) as their electron acceptor than for cell lines grown on fumarate. In contrast, three cultures of selenate-respiring bacteria, Sulfurospirillum barnesii , B. arsenicoselenatis , and Selenihalanaerobacter shriftii either were unable to reduce Se(0) to Se(-II) or had only a very limited capacity to achieve this reduction. Biological reduction of Se(0) to Se(-II) was observed during incubation of estuarine sediment slurries, while no such activity was noted in formalin-killed controls. The majority of the Se(-II) produced was found in the sediments as a solid precipitate of FeSe, rather than in solution as HSe - . These results demonstrate that certain anaerobic bacteria have the capacity to reduce Se(0) to Se(-II), providing a possible biological explanation for the occurrence of the selenide species in some sedimentary rocks.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 9 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1567 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13541013 AB - In this paper we describe measurements and modeling of 18O in CO2 and H2O pools and fluxes at a tallgrass prairie site in Oklahoma. We present measurements of the δ18O value of leaf water, depth-resolved soil water, atmospheric water vapor, and Keeling plot δ18O intercepts for net soil-surface CO2 and ecosystem CO2 and H2O fluxes during three periods of the 2000 growing season. Daytime discrimination against C18OO, as calculated from measured above-canopy CO2 and δ18O gradients, is also presented. To interpret the isotope measurements, we applied an integrated land-surface and isotope model (ISOLSM) that simulates ecosystem H218O and C18OO stocks and fluxes. ISOLSM accurately predicted the measured isotopic composition of ecosystem water pools and the δ18O value of net ecosystem CO2 and H2O fluxes. Simulations indicate that incomplete equilibration between CO2 and H2O within C4 plant leaves can have a substantial impact on ecosystem discrimination. Diurnal variations in the δ18O value of above-canopy vapor had a small impact on the predicted δ18O value of ecosystem water pools, although sustained differences had a large impact. Diurnal variations in the δ18O value of above-canopy CO2 substantially affected the predicted ecosystem discrimination. Leaves dominate the ecosystem 18O-isoflux in CO2 during the growing season, while the soil contribution is relatively small and less variable. However, interpreting daytime measurements of ecosystem C18OO fluxes requires accurate predictions of both soil and leaf 18O-isofluxes.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 9 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1582 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13541013 AB - Leaf 15N signature is a powerful tool that can provide an integrated assessment of the nitrogen (N) cycle and whether it is influenced by rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. We tested the hypothesis that elevated CO2 significantly changes foliage δ15N in a wide range of plant species and ecosystem types. This objective was achieved by determining the δ15N of foliage of 27 field-grown plant species from six free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments representing desert, temperate forest, Mediterranean-type, grassland prairie, and agricultural ecosystems. We found that within species, the δ15N of foliage produced under elevated CO2 was significantly lower ( P<0.038) compared with that of foliage grown under ambient conditions. Further analysis of foliage δ15N by life form and growth habit revealed that the CO2 effect was consistent across all functional groups tested. The examination of two chaparral shrubs grown for 6 years under a wide range of CO2 concentrations (25–75 Pa) also showed a significant and negative correlation between growth CO2 and leaf δ15N. In a select number of species, we measured bulk soil δ15N at a depth of 10 cm, and found that the observed depletion of foliage δ15N in response to elevated CO2 was unrelated to changes in the soil δ15N. While the data suggest a strong influence of elevated CO2 on the N cycle in diverse ecosystems, the exact site(s) at which elevated CO2 alters fractionating processes of the N cycle remains unclear. We cannot rule out the fact that the pattern of foliage δ15N responses to elevated CO2 reported here resulted from a general drop in δ15N of the source N, caused by soil-driven processes. There is a stronger possibility, however, that the general depletion of foliage δ15N under high CO2 may have resulted from changes in the fractionating processes within the plant/mycorrhizal system.

In nuclear facilities, continuous air monitors alarm when levels of airborne radioactive materials exceed alarm thresholds, thus prompting workers to exit the room to reduce inhalation exposures. To maintain a high level of worker protection, continuous air monitors are required to detect radioactive aerosol clouds quickly and with good sensitivity. This requires that there are sufficient numbers of continuous air monitors in a room and that they are well positioned. Yet there are no published methodologies to quantitatively determine the optimal number and placement of continuous air monitors in a room. The goal of this study was to develop and test an approach to quantitatively determine optimal number and placement of continuous air monitors in a room. The method we have developed uses tracer aerosol releases (to simulate accidental releases) and the measurement of the temporal and spatial aspects of the dispersion of the tracer aerosol through the room. The aerosol dispersion data is then analyzed to optimize continuous air monitor utilization based on simulated worker exposure. This method was tested in a room within a Department of Energy operated plutonium facility at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, U.S. Results from this study show that the value of quantitative airflow and aerosol dispersion studies is significant and that worker protection can be significantly improved while balancing the costs associated with CAM programs.

The master laser has an external optical feedback that induces optical chaos in the laser output. A part of the chaotic light output from the master laser is injected into the slave laser. We experimentally demonstrated the generation of broad-band signals up to 22 GHz using lasers whose relaxation oscillation frequency in the free-running state is only around 6.4 GHz. We also show that the experimental results can be well reproduced by numerical simulations using two coupled rate equations. The numerical investigation shows that the high-frequency broad-band signal generation is owing to two key effects: high-frequency oscillations as a result of beating between the master and slave laser lights, and spectrum flattening due to the injection of the chaotic signal. The flatness, stability, and tunability of the power spectra demonstrated in our experiments suggests that the proposed system can be potentially useful for generation of high-frequency broad-band random signals.

In this paper, we introduce a novel percolation computational model of the most commonly suggested design: polymer filled with highly conductive ceramic (e.g., boron nitride) particles. The effective conductivity of random networks of spherical conductors with different degree of: fill, polydispersity, conductivity, and interface contact were determined by solving systems of Kirchoff's equations for cubic resistor network. It was found that above the percolation threshold (approximately 0.36, all cases), the effective conductivity is almost a linear function of the amount of fill or contact area between particles. Also, monodispersed filler yielded significantly higher effective conductivity than systems with three filler sizes. The model shows that if any spatial periodic arrangement is used, then effective conductivity much higher than that of the polymer matrix cannot be reached by increasing the conductivity of the filler. Thus periodic composites below maximal packing volume fraction yield the effective conductivity comparable to that of the polymer. We show that for nonperiodic (random) arrays the conductivity does improve significantly with increasing fill volume above the percolation threshold. Also, in agreement with recent experimental work, we find the key to significant improvement in thermal conductivity is an increase in contact area between particles. This last result suggests an explanation for recent experimental reports that boron nitride-filled polymers provide for higher conductivity than polymers filled with harder materials. Our model allows for quantitative estimation of the effective conductivity as a function of the contact area, polydispersity and the volume fraction.

Advances in computational magnetics, particularly the use of finite-element calculations, have enabled realistic numerical simulations of magnetic particle inspection to be undertaken with complicated geometries. In this paper, we report a sensitivity analysis using finite-element-method simulations of magnetic particle inspection for defects with various sizes and geometries. As a result, improved quantitative understanding of the MPI technique and factors that affects its sensitivity and reliability has been achieved. These results can be used to optimize conditions for conducting these inspections and should lead to improvement in analysis and interpretation of experimental results.

JO - Immunogenetics JF - Immunogenetics Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 55 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 570 EP - 581 SN - 14321211 AB - Genome-wide sequence analysis in the invertebrate chordate, Ciona intestinalis, has provided a comprehensive picture of immune-related genes in an organism that occupies a key phylogenetic position in vertebrate evolution. The pivotal genes for adaptive immunity, such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II genes, T-cell receptors, or dimeric immunoglobulin molecules, have not been identified in the Ciona genome. Many genes involved in innate immunity have been identified, including complement components, Toll-like receptors, and the genes involved in intracellular signal transduction of immune responses, and show both expansion and unexpected diversity in comparison with the vertebrates. In addition, a number of genes were identified which predicted integral membrane proteins with extracellular C-type lectin or immunoglobulin domains and intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) (plus their associated signal transduction molecules), suggesting that activating and inhibitory receptors have an MHC-independent function and an early evolutionary origin. A crucial component of vertebrate adaptive immunity is somatic diversification, and the recombination activating genes (RAG) and activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) genes responsible for the Generation of diversity are not present in Ciona. However, there are key V regions, the essential feature of an immunoglobulin superfamily VC1-like core, and possible proto-MHC regions scattered throughout the genome waiting for Godot.

Theft integration as part of a workflow process enables the creation of services that can be easily reused by the community. Scientists can then concentrate on the science, while application developers can focus on the delivery of services that can be assembled as building blocks to create more elaborate services. The paper introduces the problem domain and the terminology used in thermochemistry that is directly related to the work scientists perform. It analyzes a current process to derive thermochemical tables, one of the most elementary building blocks in thermochemistry. Next it provides an improved technique for increasing the accuracy of this process. It introduces a scenario where algorithm and the repeated use by the community will result in a highly accurate and elaborate thermochemistry table database. Next, the paper presents the notion of a "knowledge Grid", transforming information into knowledge. It outlines service-oriented architecture and discuss how services such as security, data transfer, registration, and scheduling assist in assembling such a sophisticated collaborative environment.

The results show that methanol can be completely converted to a product stream that is low in methane and near the equilibrium composition of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. The effect of reactor temperature, feed concentration of methanol, and residence time on both conversion and product gas composition was investigated and the results are presented. Reaction pathways and potential applications of this technology are discussed. Ethanol and ethylene glycol resulted in less desirable effluent gas, with high concentrations of methane and carbon monoxide. Acetone and diesel fuel both resulted in the reactor becoming plugged.

A servohydraulic multiaxial testing machine was used to perform combined axial-torsional experiments on a thin-walled cylindrical aluminum specimen. The specimen was machined from extruded aluminum 1100 tubing, and annealed at 650 °F for 1 h. Conical epoxy sections were molded on the ends of the specimen for gripping. The specimen was loaded at strain rates under 20×10−6 per minute. An offset strain of 5×10−6 was used to define yield. A novel technique for identifying yield surfaces is introduced, which makes use of an experimentally measured focal point through which all yield probes are made to pass. Yield surfaces were obtained both in stress space and in strain space at various stages of plastic deformation. Although all strains were under 1%, the inelastic states included situations in which the origin in stress space lies outside the elastic region. The yield surfaces in both spaces were found to change shape considerably with deformation, usually developing a region of high curvature near the preload point and a region of low curvature on the opposite side of the yield surface. Experiments were also designed and conducted to test the validity of a prescription for identifying plastic strain in the context of the strain-space formulation. Changes in plastic strain were induced under incremental loading conditions and measured using the prescription. To within experimental error, the measured plastic strain increments satisfy the normality condition. The plastic strain increments are consistent with a flow rule of the type postulated in the strain-space formulation of the theory. The experimental results lend support to the constitutive theory and to the prescription for identifying plastic strain.

The dependence of intrinsic viscosity and radius of gyration of poly(ℇ-caprolactone) on molecular weight was established, and Flory's characteristic ratio C ∞ was calculated for this polymer from these data. The results show that THF is a good solvent for poly(ℇ-caprolactone). Poly(ℇ-caprolactone) exhibits a random-coil conformation in THF, and SEC with online RALLS and DV detectors offer an easy way to obtain information on chain flexibility.

It is shown that energy transfer (ET) in nanocrystals is confined by discrete PDOS as well as direct size restriction. Temperature-, concentration-, and size-dependence of the fluorescence decay from the [sup 4]S[sub 3/2] state of Er[sup 3+] in Y[sub 2]O[sub 2]S nanocrystals have been investigated using laser spectroscopic experiments and computational simulations. A set of microscopic rate equations that govern the evolution of the excitation probability P[sub i](t) are solved iteratively using a Monte Carlo method. The simulations of ET based on a theoretical model with five parameters are in good agreement with the experimental results. It is shown that phonon-assisted ET processes in Er[sup 3+]:Y[sub 2]O[sub 2]S nanocrystals contribute partly to the fluorescence decay at 295 K, and is negligible at 5 K. For applications, the nanoconfinement effects on ET may significantly reduce the efficiency of sensitized or upconversion luminescence due to the lack of low-frequency phonon modes and restricted excitation migration in nanophosphors. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

These observations support a growth model incorporating changes in the dominant defect states and recombination mechanisms during this final stage of the growth process. Additionally, evidence is presented that supports the passivation of near-surface recombination sites by CdS. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We attributed the majority of these peaks to excitons bound to unidentified structural and surface defects. Most of the structural- and surface-related peaks (at 3.21, 3.32, 3.34, 3.35, 3.38, and 3.42 eV) were observed in Ga polar films. In N polar GaN, we often observed the 3.45 eV peak attributed to excitons bound to the inversion domain interfaces. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

H release from GaN(Mg) was measured under ultra-high-vacuum conditions with surface cleaning and characterization to give clean well-ordered (0001) hexagonal (1×1) surfaces. Second-order release kinetics were observed, indicating recombinative desorption of H[sub 2] is a rate determining process. Observed H release is compared with diffusion–reaction theory, which incorporates current information about H in GaN from theory and previous experiments. Based on previous studies of thermal desorption of H from GaN surfaces, the release model includes recombinative desorption from neutral H states at the surface. We conclude that the formation energy (at T=0) of this surface H state is close to that of a H[sub 2] molecule in vacuum, and that the formation energy of MgH is about 1.1 eV/atom below that of H in the surface state. This implies the surface H coverage must be very low during thermal release of H from GaN(Mg). This, together with a high activation barrier for desorption from the surface, accounts for the high temperatures required to remove H from GaN(Mg) and activate p-type conductivity. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The damage accumulation and microstructural evolution were analyzed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and glancing-angle x-ray diffraction (XRD). The experimental damage profiles as observed by TEM and XRD methods were compared to Monte Carlo simulations using the SRIM-2000 code. At the lowest ion fluence (10[sup 14] ions/cm[sup 2]), a buried amorphous layer formed in the zircon matrix. The surface layer is highly damaged and consists of zircon nanocrystals. The critical amorphization dose for zircon implanted with 300 keV Pb[sup +] was in the range of 0.25–0.43 displacements per atom. With increasing ion fluence, the thickness of the amorphous layer increased. When the Pb concentration in the substrate exceeded ∼3.5 at. % (i.e., at 10[sup 17] ions/cm[sup 2]), Pb nanoparticles precipitated at room temperature and formed a layer ∼90 nm thick embedded within the amorphous zircon matrix. Effects of the displacement energies employed in the SRIM-2000 simulation on the damage profiles and the critical amorphization dose were also analyzed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/11//11/1/2003 VL - 94 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 6076 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The fracture strength of ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) has been investigated using tensile testing of freestanding submicron films. Specifically, the fracture strength of UNCD membranes, grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD), was measured using the membrane deflection experiment developed by Espinosa and co-workers. The data show that fracture strength follows a Weibull distribution. Furthermore, we show that the Weibull parameters are highly dependent on the seeding process used in the growth of the films. When seeding was performed with microsized diamond particles, using mechanical polishing, the stress resulting in a probability of failure of 63% was found to be 1.74 GPa, and the Weibull modulus was 5.74. By contrast, when seeding was performed with nanosized diamond particles, using ultrasonic agitation, the stress resulting in a probability of failure of 63%, increased to 4.13 GPa, and the Weibull modulus was 10.76. The tests also provided the elastic modulus of UNCD, which was found to vary from 940 to 970 GPa for both micro- and nanoseeding. The investigation highlights the role of microfabrication defects on material properties and reliability, as a function of seeding technique, when identical MPCVD chemistry is employed. The parameters identified in this study are expected to aid the designer of microelectromechanical systems devices employing UNCD films. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/11//11/1/2003 VL - 94 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 6192 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The synthesis and fundamental material properties of layered TiAl/Cu/Ta electrodes were investigated to achieve the integration of Cu electrodes with high-dielectric constant (κ) oxide thin films for application to the fabrication of high-frequency devices. The Ta layer is an excellent diffusion barrier to inhibit deleterious Cu diffusion into the Si substrate, while the TiAl layer provides an excellent barrier against oxygen diffusion into the Cu layer to inhibit Cu oxidation during the growth of the high-κ layer in an oxygen atmosphere. Polycrystalline (Ba[sub x]Sr[sub 1-x])TiO[sub 3] (BST) thin films were grown on the Cu-based bottom electrode by rf magnetron sputtering at temperatures in the range 400–600 °C in oxygen, to investigate the performance of BST/Cu-based capacitors. Characterization of the Cu-based layered structure using surface analytical methods showed that two amorphous oxide layers were formed on both sides of the TiAl barrier, such that the oxide layer on the free surface of the TiAl layer correlates with TiAlO[sub x], while the oxide layer at the TiAl/Cu interface is an Al[sub 2]O[sub 3]-rich layer. This double amorphous barrier layer structure effectively prevents oxygen penetration towards the underlying Cu and Ta layers. The TiAlO[sub x] interfacial layer, which has a relatively low dielectric constant compared with BST, reduced the total capacitance of the BST thin film capacitors. In addition, the layered electrode-oxide interface roughening observed during the growth of BST films at high temperature, due to copper grain growth, resulted in large dielectric loss on the fabricated BST capacitors. These problems were solved by growing the BST layer at 450 °C followed by a rapid thermal annealing at 700 °C. This process significantly reduced the thickness of the TiAlO[sub x] layer and interface roughness resulting in BST capacitors exhibiting properties suitable for the fabrication of high-performance high-frequency devices. In summary, relatively high dielectric constant (280), low dielectric loss (0.007), and low leakage current (<2×10[sup -8] A/cm[sup 2] at 100 kV/cm) were achieved for BST thin film capacitors with Cu-based electrodes. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The transitions in both isotopomers correspond to A[sup ′] vibrations assigned to the hydrogen bond stretch (translational) and donor torsion overtone vibrations. The interchange splitting is 56.3 GHz in K[sub a]=0 of the excited state of (H[sub 2]O)[sub 2], nearly 3 times the value of the ground state, and the bifurcation tunneling splitting is 1.8 GHz, over 2 times the value of the ground state. We compare the existing experimental spectra with calculations on state-of-the-art intermolecular potential energy surfaces and critically review the vibrational assignments reported in the literature. We show that the discrepancy between theory and experiment regarding the assignment of the feature near 103 cm-1 can be resolved by considering E[sub 2]→E[sub 1] transitions, which had not been considered previously. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

A small polaron model was applied which yielded electron hopping activation energies that agree well with the limited available experimental data. A small ab initio cluster model successfully reproduced several important structural, energetic, and magnetic characteristics of the M1 and M2 Fe sites in the annite octahedral sheet. The cluster enabled calculation of the internal reorganization energy and electronic coupling matrix elements for the M2–M2 and M1–M2 electron transfer reactions. The M2–M2 electron transfer is symmetric with a predicted forward/reverse electron hopping rate of 10[sup 6] s[sup -1]. The M1–M2 electron transfers are asymmetric due to the higher ionization potential by 0.46 eV of Fe[sup II] in the M1 site. The electronic coupling matrix elements for these reactions are predicted to be small and of similar magnitude, suggesting the possibility that the coupling is essentially direction independent amongst hopping directions in the octahedral sheet. M1 Fe sites are predicted to be efficient electron traps and charge transport should occur by nearest-neighbor electron hops along the M2 Fe sublattice. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

By using an effective hard sphere diameter, the packing fractions of these systems were calculated. It was found that all the data for a given polymer type collapsed to a single curve that can be well described using a modification of the Doolittle equation. Data on polymer simulations from the literature was analyzed in this manner and showed similar results. In this work we demonstrate that the packing fraction analysis that is used to describe hard sphere and colloidal systems can also be extended to polymeric systems. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

In these vehicles, steel is replaced with aluminum, titanium, magnesium, plastics, and glass and carbon fibers. In addition to total volumes, we pay particular attention to a subset of highly toxic chemical constituents in hazardous waste. The article also examines capacity in the United States to manage the solid and hazardous waste generation changes. Finally, we review the distribution of environmental impacts that changes in material composition would cause. The estimated generation of solid and hazardous wastes for each of the three new vehicles is greater than wastes for a base vehicle, although the United States has sufficient waste management capacity to handle these increases. Production of a subset of chemical constituents of hazardous waste, specifically those that are highly toxic, will decrease in most cases for the three new vehicles. Moving to these new materials could reduce mining for iron ore in the United States but increase the mining of bauxite for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and other materials in such major countries as Canada, China, and Russia and in many small, developing countries, such as Guinea, Jamaica, and Sierra Leone.

JO - Journal of Climate JF - Journal of Climate Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 16 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 3476 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948755 AB - Observations show that an increase in anthropogenic aerosols leads to concurrent increases in the cloud droplet concentration and the relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectrum, other factors being equal. It has been suggested that the increase in effective radius resulting from increased relative dispersion may substantially negate the indirect aerosol effect, but this is usually not parameterized in global climate models (GCMs). Empirical parameterizations, designed to represent the average of this effect, as well as its lower and upper bounds, are tested in the CSIRO GCM. Compared to a control simulation, in which the relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectrum is prescribed separately over land and ocean, inclusion of this effect reduces the magnitude of the first indirect aerosol effect by between 12% and 35%.

We consider flows described by the reactive Euler equations with an ideal equation of state and various stiff reaction models. These equations are solved using a second-order accurate Godunov method for the convective fluxes and a Runge–Kutta time-stepping scheme for the source term modeling the chemical reactions. We describe an extension of the adaptive mesh refinement approach to curvilinear overlapping grids. Numerical results are presented showing the evolution to detonation in a quarter-plane provoked by a temperature gradient and the propagation of an overdriven detonation in an expanding channel. The first problem, which considers a one-step Arrhenius reaction model, is used primarily to validate the numerical method, while the second problem, which considers a three-step chain-branching reaction model, is used to illustrate mechanisms of detonation failure and rebirth for the channel geometry.

By combining analyses of incompletely parabolic systems with those based on the hyperbolic Euler equations, a rational set of boundary conditions is determined to address this shortcoming. Accompanying these conditions is a procedure for implementation into a multidimensional code. In the limits of zero reaction rate or one species, the boundary conditions reduce in a predictable way to cases found in the literature. Application is made to premixed and nonpremixed flames in one and two dimensions to establish efficacy. Inclusion of source terms in boundary conditions derived from characteristic analysis is essential to avoid unphysical generation of pressure and velocity gradients as well as flow reversals. Minor deficiencies in the boundary conditions are attributed primarily to the diffusive terms. Imposing vanishing diffusive boundary-normal flux gradients works better than imposing vanishing fluxes but neither is entirely satisfactory.

The relative contributions from mineral precipitation, gas production, and microbial activity to the degradation of PRB performance have been uncertain. In this controlled field study, nitrate-rich, site groundwater was treated by Fe0 in large-volume, flow-through columns to monitor the changes in chemical and hydraulic parameters over time. Tracer tests showed a close relationship between hydraulic residence time and pH measurements. The ionic profiles suggest that mineral precipitation and accumulation is the primary mechanism for pore clogging around the inlet of the column. Accumulated N2 gas generated by biotic processes also affected the hydraulics although the effects were secondary to that of mineral precipitation. Quantitative estimates indicate a porosity reduction of up to 45.3% near the column inlet over 72 days of operation under accelerated flow conditions. According to this study, preferential flow through a PRB at a site with similar groundwater chemistry should be detected over ∼1 year of operation. During the early operation of a PRB, pH is a key indicator for monitoring the change in hydraulic residence time resulting from heterogeneity development. If the surrounding native material is more conductive than the clogged Fe-media, groundwater bypass may render the PRB ineffective for treating contaminated groundwater.

Issues such as water turbidity, associated contaminants, reservoir sedimentation, undesirable erosion and scour, and aquatic habitat are all linked to sediment properties and behaviors. In situ analysis is necessary to develop an understanding of the erosion and transport of sediments. Sandia National Laboratories has recently patented the Adjustable Shear Stress Erosion and Transport (ASSET) Flume that quantifies in situ erosion of a sediment core with depth while affording simultaneous examination of transport modes (bedload versus suspended load) of the eroded material. Core erosion rates and ratios of bedload to suspended load transport of quartz sediments were studied with the ASSET Flume. The erosion and transport of a fine-grained natural cohesive sediment were also observed. Experiments using quartz sands revealed that the ratio of suspended load to bedload sediment transport is a function of grain diameter and shear stress at the sediment surface. Data collected from the ASSET Flume were used to formulate a novel empirical relation for predicting the ratio of bedload to suspended load as a function of shear stress and grain diameter for noncohesive sediments.

JO - Journal of Hydrologic Engineering JF - Journal of Hydrologic Engineering Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 8 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 301 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 10840699 AB - Vertical velocity variance data were derived from remotely sensed mixed layer turbulence measurements at the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments (ABLE) facility in Butler County, Kansas. These measurements and associated data were provided by a collection of instruments that included two 915 MHz wind profilers, two radio acoustic sounding systems, and two eddy correlation devices. The data from these devices were available through the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiment (ABLE) database operated by Argonne National Laboratory. A signal processing procedure outlined by Angevine et al. was adapted and further built upon to derive vertical velocity variance,&w'[SUP2]sline;, from 915 MHz wind profiler measurements in the mixed layer. The proposed procedure consisted of the application of a height-dependent signal-to-noise ratio SNR filter, removal of outliers plus and minus two standard deviations about the mean on the spectral width squared, and removal of the effects of beam broadening and vertical shearing of horizontal winds. The scatter associated with&w'[SUP2]sline;was mainly affected by the choice of SNR filter cutoff values. Several different sets of cutoff values were considered, and the optimal one was selected which reduced the overall scatter on&w'[SUP2]sline;and yet retained a sufficient number of data points to average. A similarity relationship of&w'[SUP2]sline;versus height was established for the mixed layer on the basis of the available data. A strong link between the SNR and growth/decay phases of turbulence was identified. Thus, the mid to late afternoon hours, when strong surface heating occurred, were observed to produce the highest quality signals.

SN - 13675435 AB - A bioluminescent bioreporter for the detection of the microbial volatile organic compound p­cymene was constructed as a model sensor for the detection of metabolic by-products indicative of microbial growth. The bioreporter, designated Pseudomonas putida UT93, contains a Vibrio fischeri luxCDABE gene fused to a p­cymene/p­cumate­inducible promoter derived from the P. putida F1 cym operon. Exposure of strain UT93 to 0.02–850 ppm p­cymene produced self-generated bioluminescence in less than 1.5 h. Signals in response to specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as m- and p­xylene and styrene, also occurred, but at twofold lower bioluminescent levels. The bioreporter was interfaced with an integrated-circuit microluminometer to create a miniaturized hybrid sensor for remote monitoring of p-cymene signatures. This bioluminescent bioreporter integrated-circuit device was capable of detecting fungal presence within approximately 3.5 h of initial exposure to a culture of p­cymene­producing Penicillium roqueforti.

Although experimental work has been performed, the techniques used have generally been difficult to apply, and lacked sufficient resolution and or acceptable accuracy. Theoretical predictions and computational simulations have been performed to gain further insight into this problem but could not be accurately validated due to the lack of sufficient experimental temperature data. Experimental techniques using modern, digital infrared imaging were developed and successfully applied during this study to gather cutting tool temperature distributions from orthogonal machining operations. This new process has seemingly overcome many problems associated with past experimental techniques.

Once zero-point (ZP) corrections and lattice relaxations are taken into account, the diffusion activation energy for interstitial H in pure Pd is in quantitative agreement with experimental data. Our DFT results indicate that the diffusion activation energy for interstitial H in ordered bcc Cu50Pd50 is over an order of magnitude smaller than that for pure Pd. We present a detailed description of the range of diffusion activation energies available for local hops of interstitial H in disordered fcc Cu48Pd52 and describe how the net activation energy for long-range H diffusion in this material can be inferred from these results. The variation in H binding energies and diffusion activation energies of interstitial H in bcc and fcc CuPd alloys as a function of alloy composition is also discussed.

It first briefly introduces the software architecture adopted by the environment. Then it presents a CORBA oriented wrapper generator (COWG) which can be used to automatically wrap high-performance legacy codes as CORBA components. Two legacy codes have been wrapped with COWG. One is an MPI-based molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) code, the other is a finite element-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for simulating incompressible Navier–Stokes flows. Performance comparisons between runs of the MDS CORBA component and the original MDS legacy code on a cluster of workstations and on a parallel computer are also presented. Wrapped as CORBA components, these legacy codes can be reused in a distributed computing environment. The first case shows that high-performance can be maintained with the wrapped MDS component. The second case shows that a Web user can submit a task to the wrapped CFD component through a Web page without knowing the exact implementation of the component. In this way, a user''s desktop computing environment can be extended to a high-performance computing environment using a cluster of workstations or a parallel computer.

Vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra were observed for B3- at three photon energies (355, 266, and 193 nm), and the electron affinity of B3 was measured to be 2.82 ± 0.02 eV. An unusually intense peak due to two-electron transitions was observed in the 193-nm spectrum of B3- at 4.55 eV and its origin was theoretically characterized. We confirmed that both B3- and B3 are π and σ aromatic systems with D3h symmetry. The photoelectron spectra of B4- were also obtained at the three photon energies, but much broader spectra were observed. The B4- anion was found to have the lowest electron detachment energy (~1.6 eV) among all boron clusters with three or more atoms, consistent with its extremely weak mass signals. The neutral B4 cluster was found to have a D2h rhombus structure, which is only slightly distorted from a perfect square. For B4-, we identified computationally two low-lying isomers (2B1u and 2Ag) both with D2h symmetry, with the 2B1u state slightly more stable, which is confirmed through comparison of the calculated spectra with the experimental spectra. The chemical bonding of the two small boron clusters is discussed in terms of aromaticity and antiaromaticity both in the π and σ frameworks. We demonstrated that the aromaticity and antiaromaticity concepts provide us a clear explanation of the chemical structure and bonding in these two boron clusters.

An essential feature of the present work is that it is a systematic study employing a hierarchy of theoretical methods to explore the effect of refining the treatment of electron correlation in determining the geometry and electronic ground state of these species. For Ti8C12, we show using relatively high-level theories such as MP2, MP4, and QCISD that the Aufbau principle for the occupation of the molecular orbitals is obeyed, resulting in a Jahn-Teller distortion of the proposed Td symmetry. These higher-level calculations identify a D2d structure close to Td symmetry for the electronic ground state and allow some of its chemical properties to be explored with confidence using a lower level of theory. The reactivity of Ti8C12 toward H2O, CO, and Cl is also investigated. It is found that Ti8C12 can act as a Lewis acid to accept lone pairs of electrons from H2O (Lewis base) and that it can also be oxidized by Cl atoms through electron donation from C2 units in Ti8C12 to the Cl mediated by a Ti dz2 orbital. Thus, a relationship among structure, electronic properties, and reactivity is established. For Mo8C12, we find that the Td structure is not subject to a Jahn-Teller effect, and it is a true minimum at the HF level; B3LYP DFT calculations prefer a lower-symmetry (near-D2) structure. The results of ab initio and DFT methods are compared.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 107 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 12113 SN - 15206106 AB - Silica (SiO2) spheres with diameters of 400-850 nm were prepared by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of water and ammonia in an alcoholic medium. By grafting -SO3- groups on silica surfaces using the silane coupling agent, 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane, surface charges of the SiO2 spheres were greatly enhanced. These highly charged, monodisperse SiO2 particles readily self-assemble into robust, three-dimensionally ordered crystalline colloidal array (CCA) photonic crystals in water suspension. By evaporating water in the CCA, high quality films of close-packed SiO2 particle-air arrays form with thickness of 25-125 μm. These SiO2 CCAs and close-packed SiO2 particle-air arrays diffract light in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region according to Bragg's law. By altering the particle number density in the CCA dispersions, the diffraction wavelength can be continuously tuned from ~800 to ~1800 nm. Additionally, the diffraction prevented light from transmitting through the CCA and the close-packed SiO2 particle-air array below ~550 nm spectral region. The CCA photonic crystal materials could be potentially used as tunable NIR optical filters and/or as photonic band gap materials in the UV-visible spectral region.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 107 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 12307 SN - 15206106 AB - Recent theoretical and simulation studies suggest an unexpected shift in the solubility of n-alkanes in near-critical water, which would indicate that longer n-alkane molecules are more soluble than shorter ones. This trend is contrary to what one finds at ambient conditions, where longer alkanes generally have a lower aqueous solubility. The latter is usually interpreted as a consequence of the greater hydrophobicity of longer chains. There is also evidence that the reversal in the solubility close to the critical region may disappear at temperatures well above the critical point. We investigate these phenomena using a simplified version of the statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) in which molecules are modeled as associating chains of hard-sphere segments with van der Waals mean-field dispersion interactions. Within the SAFT approach it is possible to take into account explicitly the extensive hydrogen bonding present in water and in aqueous solutions as well as the chainlike nature of the n-alkane molecules. Both of these features cause anisotropies in the molecular interactions and are responsible for the large nonideality of these systems. The SAFT-HS calculations are compared with available molecular dynamics simulations in an effort to further explore and understand this unexpected behavior. While the SAFT and simulation results agree concerning the reversal and rereversal seen in the Gibbs free energy of solvation (and equivalently the Henry's law constant), the SAFT results suggest that this is not related to changes in alkane solubility, since according to the SAFT calculations the alkanes and water are miscible at the temperature and pressure at which reversal and rereversal of the Gibbs free energy take place.

The alpha models are investigated in the setting of the barotropic, double-gyre circulation in an ocean basin. Two variants of the alpha models for the barotropic vorticity (BV) equation are found to produce the correct four-gyre configuration for the mean barotropic circulation in numerical simulations performed at a resolution 4 times as coarse as that required in a resolved BV model. These are the BV-α model and the BV-Leray-α model. However, at a resolution 8 times as coarse, only the BV-α model produces the proper four-gyre configuration. Thus, the combination of modified nonlinearity and viscous dissipation (the viscosity is the same in all of the runs) in the BV-α model is found to provide a promising approach to modeling the mean effects of unresolved mesoscale (subgrid scale) activity in this problem.

The onsets of the GeI–GeII transition were found both under hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic conditions. Anisotropy of thermal expansion coefficient for the GeII is characterized from the c/a ratios in the temperature interval 473–823 K.

Two types of isotope effects with opposite isotope enrichment directions were observed in the electrolysis of potassium from the aqueous into the amalgam phase under constant electrolytic potentials. It was found that the first isotope effect causing the light isotope enriched in the amalgam is related to the kinetic process of the mass transfer through the aqueous/amalgam interface, while the second one leading to the enrichment of the heavy isotope in the amalgam phase is produced by the isotope-exchange equilibrium. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium isotope effect was also investigated using single-stage and multi-stage techniques. It was observed that the equilibrium isotope effect increases as the temperature increases in the range of 293-371 K. An empirical equation was used to fit the variations of the isotope effects with temperature for potassium together with the other alkaline and alkaline earth metals studied in the same system. The origin of the equilibrium isotope fractionation in the electron-exchange system was discussed. Furthermore, the mass dependence of the separation coefficients of the alkaline and alkaline earth metals observed in aqueous/amalgam and ion-exchange systems were compared. At 293 K the equilibrium isotope separation coefficient for the 39K/41K isotopes in the amalgam system was determined as (5.6±0.6).10-3.

The control objective is to regulate rotor speed at above-rated wind speeds while mitigating cyclic blade root loads. Actuation is via individual blade pitch, and sensors are limited to rotor angle and speed. The modeled turbine is a two-bladed, downwind machine with simple blade and tower flexibility having four degrees of freedom. Comparisons are made to a time-invariant DAC controller and to a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) design. Simulations are performed using a fluctuating wind input and a nonlinear turbine model. Results indicate that the state-space control designs are effective in reducing blade loads without a sacrifice in speed regulation. The periodic controller shows the most potential because it uses a time-varying turbine model to estimate unmeasured states. The use of additional sensors to help reconstruct the blade flap rate can significantly improve the level of load attenuation, as witnessed in full-state feedback results.

At the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, we are beginning to design control algorithms for regulation of turbine speed and power using state-space control designs. In this paper, we describe the design of such a control algorithm for regulation of rotor speed in full-load operation (Region 3) for a two-bladed wind turbine. We base our control design on simple linear models or a turbine, which contain rotor and generator rotation, drive train torsion, rotor flap (first mode only), and tower fore-aft degrees of freedom (DOFs). Wind-speed fluctuations are accounted for using Disturbance Accommodating Control (DAC). We show the capability of these control schemes to stabilize the modeled turbine modes via pole placement, while using state estimation to reduce the number of turbine measurements that are needed for these algorithms. These controllers are incorporated into a simulation code and simulated for various conditions. Finally, conclusions to this work and future studies are outlined.

Disturbance Tracking Control theory was applied to the design of a torque controller to optimize energy capture under the influence of persistent wind disturbances. A limitation in the theory for common multi-state models is described; this led to the design of a complementary pitch controller The goal of the independent blade pitch design was to minimize blade root fatigue loads. A SymDyn model of a two-bladed, 600-kW machine was used for the simulation studies. Results indicate a 24% reduction in blade fatigue damage using the proposed controllers, compared to a conventional torque-only design. However, energy capture was not improved as much as expected, partly due to nonlinearity effects degrading the performance of the state-space estimator design. Tower base fatigue damage was shown to decrease significantly using active pitch.

The total U.S. wind power capacity by the end of 2002 was 4,685 megawatts. As wind power capacity increases, it becomes increasingly important to study the impact of wind farm output on the surrounding power networks. In this paper; we attempt to simulate a wind farm by including the properties of the wind turbine, the wind speed time series, the characteristics of surrounding power network, and reactive power compensation. Mechanical stress and fatigue load of the wind turbine components are beyond the scope this paper. The paper emphasizes the impact of the wind farms on the electrical side of the power network. We investigate a typical wind farm with variable-speed wind turbines connected to an existing power grid. We also examine different control strategies for feeding wind energy into the power network and present the advantages and disadvantages.

To better understand the flow physics underlying this phenomenon, time dependent blade surface pressure data were acquired from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiment (UAE), a full-scale HAWT tested in the NASA Ames 80-by-120-foot wind tunnel. Time records of surface pressures and normal force were processed to obtain means and standard deviations. Surface pressure means and standard deviations were analyzed to identify boundary layer separation and shear layer impingement locations. Separation and impingement kinematics were then correlated with normal force behavior. Results showed that rotational augmentation was linked to specific separation and impingement behaviors, and to associated three-dimensionality in surface pressure distributions.

Earlier in this project constraints to cost-effective scaling-up of the current commercial blade designs and manufacturing methods were identified, and candidate innovations in composite materials, manufacturing processes and structural configurations were assessed. In the present work, preliminary structural designs are developed for hybrid carbon fiber/fiberglass blades at system ratings of 3.0 and 5.0 MW. Structured performance is evaluated for various arrangements of the carbon blade spar, and critical performance aspects of the carbon material and blade structure are discussed. Recommendations are made for new testing of composite coupons and blade sub-structure to address the technical uncertainties identified in this work.

Estimating the long-term load distribution involves the integration of conditional distributions of extreme loads over the mean wind speed and turbulence intensity distributions. However, the accuracy of the statistical extrapolation can be sensitive to both model and sampling errors. Using measured inflow and structural data from the Long Term Inflow and Structural Test (LIST) program, this paper presents a comparative assessment of extreme loads using three distributions: namely, the Gumbel, Weibull and Generalized Extreme Value distributions. The paper uses L-moments, in place of traditional product moments, with the purpose of reducing the sampling error. The paper discusses the effects of modeling and sampling errors and highlights the practical limitations of extreme value theory.

Data from 491 ten-minute time data records are analyzed here to determine the dependency of fatigue and extreme loads on inflow parameters. Flap and edge bending moment ranges at a blade root are chosen as the structural response variable, z. Various parameters related to the inflow (including, for example, primary parameters such as the mean and standard deviation of the hub-height horizontal wind speed, and secondary parameters such as Reynolds stresses, vertical shear exponent, etc.) are each considered in an inflow parameter vector, x. Time series for the structural response, z, are processed in order to obtain a structural response parameter, y, where in separate statistical studies, y is taken to be either an equivalent fatigue load or an extreme load. This study describes a procedure by which the important "dependencies" of y on the various variables contained in the inflow parameter vector, x, may be determined considering all the available data. These dependencies of y on x are then recomputed using only the data with above-rated mean wind speeds (taken to be approximately 13 m/s). The procedure employed is similar to other studies, but we do not bin the data sets by wind speed since dependencies in one wind speed bin may, be different from those in other bins. Also, our procedure, in sharp contrast to previous studies, examines each inflow parameter in the vector, x, in a sequential analysis, rather than by using multivariate regression. Results from the present study suggest that the primary inflow parameters have a small amount of predictive power in establishing fatigue and extreme loads. In addition, large correlations that exist between several of the secondary parameters individually and each of the primary parameters make it difficult for the secondary parameters to provide any additional explanation of turbine response once the primary parameters have been accounted for.

Outputs from about 330 MW of installed wind generating capacity from wind power plants in Lake Benton, MN, and Storm Lake, Iowa, are being recorded. Analysis of the collected data shows that although very short-term wind power fluctuations are stochastic, the persistent nature of wind and the large number of turbines in a wind power plant tend to limit the magnitude of fluctuations and rate of change in wind power production. Analyses of power data confirms that spatial separation of turbines greatly reduces variations in their combined wind power output when compared to the output of a single wind power plant. Data show that high-frequency variations of wind power from two wind power plants 200 km apart are independent of each other; but low-frequency power changes can be highly correlated. This fact suggests that time-synchronized power data and meteorological data can aid in the development of statistical models for wind power forecasting.

Ultrasonic resonance allows one to measure the free-vibration response spectrum of a traction-free solid under periodic vibration. These frequencies depend on pointwise density, laminate dimensions, layer thickness, and layer elastic constants. Given a material with known mass but unknown constitution, this method allows one to extract the elastic constants and density of the constituent layers. This is accomplished by measuring the frequencies and then minimizing the differences between these and those calculated using the theory of elasticity for layered media to select the constants that best replicate the frequency-response spectrum. This approach is applied to a three-layer, unsymmetric laminate of WpCu, and very good agreement is found with the elastic constants of the two constituent materials.

The finite-bandwidth method of applying these relations is examined where the K-K integrals are restricted to the spectrum of the experimental data. These finite-bandwidth K-K relations are known to work with resonant-type data and here are applied to dispersion data consistent with a power-law attenuation coefficient (exponent from 1 to 2). Bandwidth-restricted forms of the zero and once-subtracted K-K relations are used to determine the attenuation coefficient from phase velocity. Analytically, it is shown that these transforms produce the proper power-law form of the attenuation coefficient as a stand-alone term summed with artifacts that are dependent on the integration limits. Calculations are performed to demonstrate how these finite-bandwidth artifacts affect the K-K predictions under a variety of conditions. The predictions are studied in a local context as a function of subtraction frequency, bandwidth, and power-law exponent. The K-K predictions of the power-law exponent within various decades of the spectrum are also examined. In general, the agreement between finite-bandwidth K-K predictions and exact values grows as the power-law exponent approaches 1 and with increasing bandwidth.

A literature survey indicates that the formation of such ceramics is a three-step process. First, oxides dissolve in a phosphoric acid or an acid phosphate solution and metal ions are released into the solution. The aquoions formed from these cations then react with phosphate anions and form a gel of metal hydrophosphates. In the last step, the saturated gel crystallizes into a ceramic. In this paper, we have proposed that the dissolution is the controlling step and developed a general dissolution model of the kinetics of formation of these ceramics. As an example, the model is used to discuss the kinetics of formation of magnesium phosphate ceramics in detail. In the second and third papers, the model has been used to develop processes to form ceramics of alumina and iron oxides.

In this paper, we discuss the kinetics of formation of aluminum phosphate ceramics between 100° and 150°C. Using basic thermodynamic formulations, we calculated the temperatures of maximum solubility of alumina and its hydrated phases and predicted the temperatures of formation of ceramics. Differential thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses on samples made in the laboratory confirm these temperatures. The resulting ceramics of alumina bonded with aluminum phosphate (berlinite) show a high compressive strength of 16 000 psi. We have concluded that rapid evaporation of excess water in the slurry generates porosity in the ceramics, and that better processing methods are needed. A consolidation model is presented that describes the microstructure of the ceramic. It predicts that a very small amount of alumina must be converted to form the bonding phase; hence, the product is mostly alumina with a thin coating of berlinite on the surface of alumina particles.

We report the formation of iron oxide ceramics by reducing hematite with iron in a phosphoric acid solution. The reaction results in a rapid-setting ceramic (at room temperature) with a compressive strength of 3700 psi and a density of 1.7 g/cm³. Although the exact mineral form of the binder is difficult to determine because it is mostly amorphous and hence is not amenable to X-ray diffraction analyses, this material is expected to consist of iron hydrophosphates. The reduction process is very useful in recycling several industrial wastes that are rich in hematite, including iron mine tailings, red mud (a caustic waste from the alumina industry), and machining swarfs. Formation of ceramics with red mud and swarfs is also discussed.

This technology requires a so-called reoxidation treatment after sintering the MLCCs in a reducing atmosphere to guarantee a sufficient electrical reliability. Large numbers of electrodes, and production of physically larger components for high-voltage components, are two technological trends that make the control of the reoxidation process rather difficult. The reoxidation process has been studied to determine oxygen diffusion pathways into commercial MLCCs, using [sup 18]O tracer diffusion and finite element calculations. In MLCCs oxygen diffusion mainly occurs along the Ni electrodes. Furthermore, the reoxidation process is mostly controlled by the thermodynamic potential of the Ni/NiO equilibrium in the interior of the capacitor, but it is the short circuit diffusion along the interface of the electrode that controls the kinetics of the oxygen transport into the interior of the capacitor device.

Singly-charged quasimolecular [A + B + H]+ ions are isolated, stored in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer, and irradiated by IR photons. The rate constant for dissociation of the non-covalent complex is determined at five different laser power densities. A plot of the natural logarithm of the first-order rate constant versus the natural logarithm of the laser power density yields a straight line, the slope of which provides an approximate measure of the activation energy (Ealaser) for dissociation. Ealaser is calculated by a relationship derived earlier by Dunbar and with a newly proposed equation by Paech et al. The results of the two approaches deliver significantly different activation energy values for the unimolecular dissociation of the non-covalent complex. We obtain EaIlaser = 0.67 eV (Dunbar approximation) and EaIIlaser = 1.12 eV (Paech et al. approximation). Differences between the two approaches are discussed with respect to non-covalent complexes.

The differential equations incorporate secondary electron generation and thermalization, reagent and analyte ion formation via electron capture and ion-molecule reactions, ion loss via recombination processes, diffusion, and ion-molecule reactions with matrix components, and the sampling and pumping parameters of the source. Because the ion source has a flow-through configuration, the number densities of selected species can be estimated by applying the steady-state assumption. However, understanding of its operation is aided by knowledge of the dynamic behavior, so numerical methods are applied to examine the time dependence of those species as well. As in other plasma ionization sources, the ionization efficiency is essentially determined by the ratio of the relevant ion formation and recombination rates. Although thermal electron and positive reagent ion number densities are comparable, the electron capture/ion-molecule reaction rate coefficient ratio is normally quite large and the ion-electron recombination rate coefficient is about an order of magnitude greater than that for ion-ion recombination. Consequently, the efficiency for negative analyte ion formation via electron capture is generally superior to that for positive analyte ion generation via ion-molecule reaction. However, the efficiency for positive analyte ion formation should be equal to or better than that for negative analyte ions when both ionization processes occur via ion-molecule reaction processes (with comparable rate coefficients), since the negative reagent ion density is considerably less than that for positive reagent ions. Furthermore, the particularly high number densities of thermal electrons and reagent ions leads to a large dynamic range of linear response for the source. Simulation results also suggest that analyte ion number densities might be enhanced by modification of the standard physical and operating parameters of the source.

JO - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences JF - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Y1 - 2003/11//11/1/2003 VL - 60 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 2661 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00224928 AB - As a convective boundary layer over land decays in the late afternoon, the atmosphere responds to the release of turbulent stresses. For many years, this response has been presumed to take the form of an inertial oscillation, a horizontal circulation with a frequency equal to the local Coriolis frequency, though published documentation of inertial oscillations in the atmosphere has been rare. In fact, documentation of inertial oscillations has been more associated with frontal passages than with the evening transition of the atmospheric boundary layer. A month of boundary layer wind profiler data from the Cooperative Atmosphere–Surface Exchange Study-1999 field program is analyzed here with the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT), which allows analysis of intermittent, nonstationary, and amplitude-varying wave events. Inertial motions are found in this dataset, but neither the onset times of these inertial motions nor the preferred levels of occurrence are consistent with the evening-transition hypothesis. Rather, significant correlations of inertial motions with frontal passages are observed. The elliptical nature of the observed inertial motions is consistent with amplification by deformation frontogenesis. The HHT is first demonstrated with a 5-day time series of temperature data to illustrate how the technique allows simultaneous identification of the stationary diurnal temperature cycle, as well as intermittent and nonstationary cooling events like frontal passages and density currents. The age of one density current is calculated from its dispersion characteristics, verifying that the density current in question results from rapid cooling near sunset.

In the field of orthopedics, the use of metal implants has significantly improved the quality of life for countless individuals. Critical factors for implant success include proper design, material selection, and biocompatibility.Early research in this field focused on understanding the biomechanical properties of metal implants, but recent work has turned toward improving the biological properties of these devices. This has led to the introduction of calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics as a bioactive interface between the bulk metal impart and the surrounding tissue. The first CaP coatings were produced via vapor phase processes, but more recently solution-based and biomimetic methods have emerged. While each approach has its own intrinsic materials and biological properties, in general CaP coatings promise to improve implant biocompatibility and ultimately implant longevity.

However, many of these studies assume the structure can be modelled as a linear system before and after damage and use parameters of these models as the damage-sensitive features. The study summarised in this paper proposes a damage-sensitive feature that takes advantage of the non-linearities associated with discontinuities introduced into the dynamic response data as a result of certain types of damage. Specifically, the Holder exponent, a measure of the degree to which a signal is differentiable, is the feature that is used to detect the presence of damage and determine when that damage occurred. A procedure for capturing the time-varying nature of the Holder exponent based on wavelet transforms is demonstrated through applications to non-stationary random signals with underlying discontinuities and then to a harmonically excited mechanical system that contains a loose part. Also, a classification procedure is developed to quantify when changes in the Holder exponent are significant. The results presented herein show the Holder exponent to be an effective feature for identifying damage that introduces discontinuities into the measured dynamic response data.

We find that the optical and X-ray data are correlated only when the source is in a high, active X-ray state. Our analysis shows evidence for the X-ray emission leading the optical with a mean delay of <20 s. The time-scale for the lag can be reconciled with disc reprocessing, driven by the higher-energy X-rays, only by considering the lower limit for the delay. The results are compared with a similar analysis of archival data of Sco X-1.

This method evolves the statistics of the system by computing an empirical ensemble of sample realizations and incorporates measurements by a linear interpolation between observations and predictions. However, such an interpolation is only justified for linear dynamics and Gaussian statistics, and it is known to produce erroneous results for nonlinear dynamics with far-from-Gaussian statistics. For example, the ensemble Kalman filter method, when used in models with multimodal statistics, fails to track state transitions correctly. Here alternative ensemble methods for data assimilation into nonlinear dynamical systems, in particular, those with a large state space are studied. In these methods conditional probabilities at measurement times are calculated by applying Bayes's rule. These results show that the new methods accurately track the transitions between likely states in a system with bimodal statistics, in which the ensemble Kalman filter method does not perform well. The proposed new ensemble methods are conceptually simple and potentially applicable to large-scale problems.

Colloidal quantum dots made of cadmium selenide core and a zinc sulfide shell, (CdSe)ZnS, were incubated with a genetically modified, bacterial cellulosomal protein, cohesin, and the resultant mixture subjected to fractionation using high-pressure size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). We note that the HPSEC profile is distinctly bimodal. The peak corresponding to particles of larger effective hydrodynamic radius (Re) contains a plethora of sizable protein-coated, quantum dot assemblies with a predominance of structures that are trefoil-shaped. The fraction corresponding to particles of smaller Re contains individual, protein-coated quantum dots that are chemically different from their larger counterparts. This overall procedure is shown to successfully assemble novel quantum dot bioconjugates that exhibit light harvesting properties as well as providing an effective method of purifying quantum dot samples.

JO - Neural Computation JF - Neural Computation Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 15 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2683 PB - MIT Press SN - 08997667 AB - Batch implementations of support vector regression (SVR) are inefficient when used in an on-line setting because they must be retrained from scratch every time the training set is modified. Following an incremental support vector classification algorithm introduced by Cauwenberghs and Poggio (2001), we have developed an accurate on-line support vector regression (AOSVR) that efficiently updates a trained SVR function whenever a sample is added to or removed from the training set. The updated SVR function is identical to that produced by a batch algorithm. Applications of AOSVR in both on-line and cross-validation scenarios are presented. In both scenarios, numerical experiments indicate that AOSVR is faster than batch SVR algorithms with both cold and warm start. This article is organized as follows. The formulation of the SVR problem and the development of the Karush-Kuhn- Tucker (KKT) conditions that its solution must satisfy are presented in section 2. The incremental SVR algorithm is derived in section 3, and a decremental version is described in section 4.

It has measured the CMB power spectrum with a 10-arcmin FWHM beam, corresponding to a detection of the power spectrum out to spherical harmonic multipole ℓ∼1000. The spectrum is consistent with a flat Universe with a nearly scale-invariant initial spectrum of adiabatic density fluctuations. Moreover, the MAXIMA data are free from any notable non-Gaussian contamination and from foreground dust emission. In the same region, the WMAP experiment observes the same structure as that observed by MAXIMA, as evinced by analysis of both maps and power spectra. The next step in the evolution of the MAXIMA program is MAXIPOL, which will observe the polarization of the CMB with comparable resolution and high sensitivity over a small patch of the sky.

BOOMERANG uses bolometric detectors measuring frequency bands from 90 to 400 GHz, a frequency range that complements the lower frequency range of experiments using HEMT amplifiers such as DASI and WMAP. Here, we discuss the status of the analysis of the B98 data including initial comparison of the B98 data with WMAP and component separation of the B98 maps in order to measure the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect. Finally, we describe the second LDB flight of the BOOMERANG telescope in January, 2003 with a receiver designed to map the polarisation of the CMB.

The two measurements agree within a few percent and show that in the present detector the dose rate agrees with predictions based on run-I data, with a slightly less steep dependence on distance from the beam. For the innermost SVX layer the average fluence rate is 1.3×1010 cm−2 pb−1. Variations of the fluence with the polar angle have been measured, as an effect of 3.1 mm displacement of the beam with respect to the detector axis.

Based primarily on multi-wire chambers filled with a gas mixture containing 3He, these detectors have been used in wide-ranging studies of molecular biology and material science samples. At each phase of development, experimenters have sought improvements in key parameters such as position resolution, counting rate, efficiency, solid-angle coverage and stability. A suite of detectors has been developed with sensitive areas ranging from 5×5 to 50×50 cm2. These devices incorporate low-noise-position readout and the best position resolution for thermal neutron gas detectors. Recent developments include a 1.5 m×20 cm detector containing multiple segments with continuously sensitive readout, and detectors with unity gain for ultra-high rate capability and long-term stability.

The source utilizes direct-surface ionization to form negative-ion beams resulting from interactions between highly electronegative atoms or molecules and a hot (∼1722 °C) LaB6 surface. Even though this type of ionizer has a widely publicized propensity for being easily poisoned, no evidence of this effect was experienced during testing of the source. The source has been extensively evaluated off-line in terms of ionization efficiency for generating beams of Cl− and Br− by feeding AlCl3 and AlBr3 vapors at low-feed rates into the source. The geometry of the ionization volume is designed to minimize direct losses of neutral particles through the extraction aperture and to enhance the probability for striking the LaB6 ionizer. The source is reliable, stable and easy to operate, and ionizes Cl− and Br− with efficiencies for formation and extraction of 30% and 20%, respectively. The design features, principles of operation, off-line performance, operational-parameter and beam-quality (emittance) data for the source are presented in this article.

They provide considerable ease of computation compared to the optimization of individual model parameters in the solution of the differential equations generally used to describe the binding of tracers. The theoretical work of Patlak which was applied to irreversible tracers formed the basis for extensions of graphical techniques to reversibly binding tracers. The advantage of graphical methods is that they are not dependent upon a particular model structure but provide a measure of tracer binding that can be interpreted in terms of a model structure if desired. They provide a visual way to distinguish the type of binding whether reversible or irreversible in the initial studies of new ligands. Conditions under which the graphical techniques can be applied are considered as well as problems encountered with slow binding components. One problem in the use of these methods particularly the method for reversible tracers is the bias generated due to the presence of statistical noise. Some recently proposed techniques for reducing the noise are considered.

Within this essentially continuum model, the nonlinearity which arises from the atomic interaction across the slip plane is dealt with atomistic and/or ab initio calculations. As an example, we study the dislocation cross-slip and the constriction process in two contrasting fcc metals, Al and Ag. We find that the screw dislocation in Al can cross-slip spontaneously in contrast with the screw dislocation in Ag, which splits into two partials, and thus cannot cross-slip without first being constricted. The response of the dislocations to an external stress is examined in detail. The dislocation constriction energy and the critical stress for cross-slip are determined, and, from the latter, we estimate the cross-slip energy barrier for the straight screw dislocations.

We first describe molecular dynamics simulations of grain growth in a columnar model microstructure. The atomic-level insights into the grain-growth mechanism gained from these simulations, particularly in the role of grain rotations, are captured theoretically for incorporation into the mesoscale approach, in which the objects evolving in space and time are the grain boundaries and grain junctions rather than the atoms. With all the input parameters to the mesoscale being physically well defined and obtained directly from the atomic-level simulations, the mesoscale simulations are fully prescribed. We find that the morphology of the mesoscale system evolves in an almost identical manner with that of the molecular dynamics simulation, demonstrating that the length- and time-scale linking has been performed correctly. When applied to systems containing large numbers of grains, the now validated mesoscale simulation approach allows the growth topology and long-time growth kinetics to be determined. As an outlook, we describe how the effects of applied stress can be incorporated.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2003/11//11/1/2003 VL - 83 IS - 31-34 M3 - Article SP - 3661 EP - 3676 SN - 14786435 AB - Over the last decade, molecular dynamics simulations of displacement cascades have revealed that glissile clusters of self-interstitial crowdions are formed directly in cascades and that they migrate one-dimensionally along close-packed directions with extremely low activation energies. Occasionally, under various conditions, a crowdion cluster can change its Burgers vector and glide along a different close-packed direction. The recently developed production bias model (PBM) of microstructure evolution under irradiation has been structured specifically to take into account the unique properties of the vacancy and interstitial clusters produced in the cascades. Atomic-scale kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations have played a useful role in understanding the defect reaction kinetics of one-dimensionally migrating crowdion clusters as a function of the frequency of direction changes. This has made it possible to incorporate the migration properties of crowdion clusters and changes in reaction kinetics into the PBM. In the present paper we utilize similar KMC simulations to investigate the significant role that crowdion clusters can play in the formation and stability of void lattices. The creation of stable void lattices, starting from a random distribution of voids, is simulated by a KMC model in which vacancies migrate three-dimensionally and self-interstitial atom (SIA) clusters migrate one-dimensionally, interrupted by directional changes. The necessity of both one-dimensional migration and Burgers vectors changes of SIA clusters for the production of stable void lattices is demonstrated, and the effects of the frequency of Burgers vector changes are described.

The grain boundaries were assumed to be both the only sources for nucleation of the dislocations and also the only obstacles to the dislocation motion. The analyses were confined to a single-slip system within each grain, with various orientations with respect to the slip system of neighbouring grains. The simulations were carried out for two sets of system sizes. In the first set of simulations the grain morphology was kept constant and the simulation unit cell size varied from 25 µm × 25 µm to 2.5 µm × 2.5 µm. In the second set of simulations the simulation unit-cell size was kept at 25 µm × 25 µm and the grain size was varied. For the grain-size ranges considered, an inverse relationship between the grain size and 0.2% offset flow stress in the form of the Hall-Petch relationship with a d -1/2 dependence was observed, although there is some uncertainty in the exponent. The evolution of flow stress follows a narrow band when expressed as a function of dislocation density divided by the dislocation source density and hence suggests a scaling with the grain size, as seen in an earlier study.

While such simulations are beginning to provide a wealth of information about dislocation energetics and dynamics, it is worth noting that the macroscopic deformation response of well-worked materials with dislocation densities ranging between 10 10 and can be accurately described by a smaller number of macrovariables and an appropriate relation between these variables. The large-scale reduction in the number of degrees of freedom required to characterize plastic deformation implies that homogenization, or coarse graining, of variables is appropriate over some range of length and time scales. Here, we describe recent work in which temporal and spatial coarse-graining strategies are identified, which link the mesoscale with the continuum. More specifically, three distinct examples are considered: the impact of solute-dislocation interactions on dislocation mobility (including pinning effects); thermally induced dislocation interactions; dislocation structure and properties at spatially coarse scales, primarily in two dimensions. In this latter example we formulate a continuum Hamiltonian and identify the corresponding macrovariable set (including the dislocation density and its gradients) that is relevant at each level of the coarse-graining hierarchy. Our goal is to show how these seemingly unrelated problems can be viewed as part of a unified picture of coarse-grained dislocation behaviour.

The copper film was deposited on SrTiO 3 under ultra-high-vacuum conditions at room temperature. The structural and chemical behaviours of the surface have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XPS showed that cupric oxide formed and that the amount of copper left on the surface decreased significantly. AFM showed that self-assembled rings formed at later stages of the process. Theoretical analysis of the initial growth stage showed that the ring morphology arose owing to surface diffusion induced by the elastic strain gradient at the film surface. Analysis of the ring growth dynamics also revealed that sublimation suppresses the growth of the ring morphology except within a finite-wavelength band of growing perturbations.

This behaviour has allowed an analysis of the formation and evolution of graded nanoscale structures produced by sliding. Transmission electron microscopy studies and scaling analyses of such structures show the dominating role of dislocations in the development deformation microstructures on multiple length scales. The crucial role of dislocations has been documented by high-resolution electron microscopy analysis, which has revealed the presence of a large number of glide dislocations in layers between geometrically necessary boundaries with individual spacing as fine as 5 nm.

Ono et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)] for a first assessment of low-Z impurity transport in a low field, low-aspect ratio device. Short neon puffs were injected in beam heated, co-rotating L-mode (low confinement) discharges and the radial penetration of the successive neon charge states has been monitored with arrays of filtered ultrasoft x-ray diodes. Time-dependent modeling of the neon emissivity in several spectral bands indicates a core diffusion coefficient in the neoclassical range (<1 m[sup 2]/s) in these strongly rotating plasmas, consistent with the low thermal ion transport inferred from the power balance analysis. By contrast, due to the large Larmor radii in NSTX turbulent diffusion would reach tens of m[sup 2]/s if tokamak-like instability growth rates were assumed. The much lower experimental diffusivity then suggests that turbulent ion transport must be largely suppressed in the NSTX core. It is not yet clear in what measure this is due to the large E×B flow shear characteristic of beam heated NSTX discharges, or to the long wavelength instability growth rates being intrinsically low in the NSTX core, as recently predicted. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The electrostatic field at the plasma surface decelerates electrons and accelerates ions. A fraction of the surface electrons is trapped and accelerated by the pondermotive force of the propagating electromagnetic pulse, a mechanism we call the diamagnetic relativistic pulse accelerator. This charge separation is enhanced as the initial plasma temperature is decreased. The overall energy gain of the plasma particles through the expansion strongly depends on the initial plasma temperature. Moreover, the electrons become relatively less energized and the ions more energized as the plasma temperature decreases. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The pKW32 vector was designed to express target proteins as VHb fusions, which can be purified in one step by affinity chromatography. Due to the color of the heme in VHb, the VHb-fused target proteins have a red color that provides a visual aid for estimating their expression level and solubility. The red color can also be used as a visual marker throughout purification, while the concentration of the fusion protein can be determined by measuring the amount of VHb using carbon monoxide difference spectra. In addition, because of inherently high solubility of VHb, the fusion can increase the solubility of sparingly soluble target proteins. Target proteins can be easily separated from His-tagged VHb due to the presence of a thrombin-cleavage site between them. A mutant VHb, the soluble domain of Vitreoscilla cytochrome bo subunit II, and HIV integrase expressed and purified using the pKW32 system have native function. In addition, the integrase, which is known to be difficult to purify because of low solubility, was purified simply and without solubilizing agents using our system.

Furthermore, predictions of the engineering performance of aged components are prone to large errors when the service lifetimes are much greater than the duration of laboratory aging tests, especially when multiple degradation mechanisms contribute to the overall aging. In order to avoid these errors, lifetime-performance models for components are needed that acknowledge the changes brought about by aging or damage over many size domains, from the macroscopic to the molecular level. We are studying a silica-filled siloxane foam using techniques which link aging and damage over several size domains in order to improve our material/component lifetime predictions. Parameters such as radiation-induced crosslinking, changes in motional dynamics caused by desiccation, and mechanical damage are incorporated into Finite Element Analysis codes and combined with computed tomographic data to provide “age-aware” models and predictive capability at the component level.

The 1H T2 of the interfacial domain and the soft segment domain increased with the increased dose of γ-radiation. 13C CPMAS experiments also show that the hard segment domain remained unchanged up to cumulative dose of 100 kGray. The 1H and 13 C NMR results strongly suggest that the Halthane 88-3 elastomer undergoes chain scission, primarily in the long chains that make up the soft segments of the polymer. The NMR results are compared to results from DMA and a direct correlation between observables has been demonstrated.

The effects that surface tension and mechanical properties have on interactions between the bubble compressibility and the surrounding medium are quantified. Within the framework of classical plasticity theory and following the refined treatment for large plastic displacements set forth by Chadwick, solutions are found for the finite deformation of the bubble radius and the internal bubble pressure in terms of implicit functions. Solutions are applicable to a wide range of material properties and external forcing conditions when soft solid media undergo elastic and finite plastic deformations. The validity of the solutions is not restricted to small values of the ratio between yield stress and elastic modulus. It is hypothesized that the existence of a plastic region in the neighbourhood of the bubble might explain upward bubble migration in soft solids due to pressure fluctuations in the presence of a gravitational field. Examples of the main features of the solutions are discussed in terms of dimensionless parameters.

The sample is compressed between two parallel surfaces and held there for long-time relaxation studies. The specific purpose of the test is twofold: possible exposure of the sample to aggressive environment under compression during aging and measurement of sample modulus without unloading, i.e., while leaving the sample under constant compression at all times. To determine the restoring force in the compressed sample, the compression strain is modulated with an incremental strain while measuring the force response. The total force gives the compression modulus, and the slope of the force-strain curve allows the determination of the incremental modulus. Stress relaxation data for silicon foam, Dow Corning S-5370 RTV, with 68% void fraction are shown. The modulus of the compressed sample decays over long experimental times of several days. The decay can be described by two relaxation modes, a short mode at 1500 s and a long mode at about 10[sup 5] s. The incremental modulus changes sharply in the first 1000 s (first mode) and then levels off. The apparatus consists of two self-contained components, the removable sample holder (compression jig) and the stationary test station, which performs the modulation of the strain and all measurements (restoring force and incremental modulus). This allows separation of functions. The apparatus design specifically focused on the control of the incremental strain modulation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Beam splitters can be separated into two categories based upon their operating principle: amplitude splitting or wave front splitting. A wave front-splitting phase shift beam splitter (WS-PSBS) with a monolithic structure and equal optical path is described that is well suited to the stability requirements of a pencil beam interferometer. Several techniques to produce a WS-PSBS are presented. In addition, the WS-PSBS using double thin plates or a single plate, made from microscope cover plates, has great advantages of economy, convenience, availability, and ease of adjustment over other types of beam splitters. A comparison of stability measurements made with the WS-PSBS and other equal optical path beam splitters is presented. The pencil beam interferometer using the WS-PSBS can achieve a stability of 0.45 μrad root mean square over 15–24 h periods. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The cantilever is self-sensing and self-actuating, and therefore does not need alignment of an external, optical detection system. This gives the new sensor system an advantage in array applications. Mercury vapor, when adsorbed onto gold on the cantilever, causes the stiffness, and therefore the natural frequency, of the cantilever to increase as a result of mercury gold amalgamation. This shift is detected using the piezoelectric portion of the cantilever in conjunction with a bridge circuit and amplifier. A mercury concentration of 93 ppb in nitrogen is detected. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

An AO Bragg cell is used to send pulses into and out of the amplifier cavity, and an AO modulator serves as an active isolation device. Pumping the high-Q amplifier with a short duration (∼40 ns) 532 nm pulse allows gain-switched operation in which the seed pulse dominates the amplified spontaneous emission; no Q switch is required. The amplified pulse energy is >110 μJ at a 4 kHz repetition rate, and the compressed pulse duration is <=50 fs. Detailed measurements are reported demonstrating that this design facilitates low-noise operation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The adsorption capacity, selectivity, and kinetics of the materials in sequestering metal ions, including Cd2 +, Co2 +, Cu2 +, Cr3 +, Pb2 +, Ni2 +, Zn2 +, and Mn2 +, were measured in batch experiments with excess sodium ion. The solution pH ranged from 2.2 to 5.5. The kinetics study shows that the adsorption reached equilibrium in seconds, indicating that there is little resistance to mass transfer, intraparticle diffusion, and surface chemical reaction. The competitive adsorption study found the phosphonic acid-SAMMS to have an affinity for divalent metal ions in decreasing order of Pb2 + > Cu2 + > Mn2 + > Cd2 + > Zn2 + > Co2 + > Ni2 +. The measured Cd2 +adsorption isotherm was of the Langmuirian type and had a saturation binding capacity of 0.32 mmol/g.

The basic concept of the method is to use high-frequency structural excitations to monitor the local area of a structure for changes in structural impedance that would indicate imminent damage. A brief overview of research work on experimental and theoretical studies on various structures is considered and several research papers on these topics are cited. This paper concludes with a discussion of future research areas and path forward.

Our intended application of support theory is to enable proving condition number bounds for preconditioners for symmetric, positive definite systems. One key feature sets our approach apart from most other works: We use support numbers instead of generalized eigenvalues. Although closely related, we believe support numbers are more convenient to work with algebraically. This paper provides the theoretical foundation of support theory and describes a set of analytical tools and techniques. For example, we present a new theorem for bounding support numbers (generalized eigenvalues) where the matrices have a known factorization (not necessarily square or triangular). This result generalizes earlier results based on graph theory. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by a simple example: block Jacobi preconditioning on a model problem. Also, our analysis of a new class of preconditioners, maximum-weight basis preconditioners, in [E. G. Boman, D. Chen, B. Hendrickson, and S. Toledo, Numer. Linear Algebra Appl., to appear] is based on results contained in this paper.

JO - Soil & Sediment Contamination JF - Soil & Sediment Contamination Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 12 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 901 EP - 926 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15320383 AB - Detailed three-dimensional multifluid flew modeling was conducted to assess movement and removal of dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) movement at a waste site in Louisiana. The site's subsurface consists of several permeable zones separated by (semi) confining days. In the upper subsurface, the two major permeable zones are, starting with the uppermost zone, the +40- and +2-MSL (mean level) zones. At the site, a total of 23,000 m3 of DNAPL was emplaced in an open waste pit between 1962 and 1974. In this period, considerable amounts of DNAPL moved into the subsurface. By 1974 a portion of the DNAPL was removed and the waste site was filled with low-permeabtilty materials and closed. During this process, some of the DNAPL was mixed with the fill material and remained at the site. Between 1974 and 2000, no additional DNAPL recovery activities were Implemented. In an effort to reduce the DNAPL source, organic liquid has been pumped through a timedi)pumping scheme from a total of 7 wells starting in calendar year 2000. The recovery wells are screened in the lower part of the waste fill material. In site investigations, DNAPL has been encountered in the+40-MSLbutnotinthe+20-M$zone.the following questions are addressed: (1) mere has the DNAPL migrated vertically and laterally? (2) How much further is DNAPL expected to move in the next century? (3) How effective is the current DNAPL pumping in reducing the DNAPL source? The computational domains for the simulations were derived from 3-D interpolations of borehole logs using a geologic interpretation software (Earthvislon™). The simulation results show that DNAPL primarily entered the subsurface in the period 1962-1974, when the waste site was operational. After 1974. the infiltration rates dropped dramatically as a result of the infilling of the waste pit. The simulation results indicate that DNAPL moved from the pit into the underlying +40-MSL zone through two contact zones at the west side of the pit. Lateral movement of the DNAPL body has been relatively slow as a result of the high viscosity and the rapidly decreasing driving force after the waste pit was filled in. For all simulations, lateral movement of DNAPL in the period 1962-2001 is predicted to be less than 60 m from the two contact areas, while additional movement in the next century is expected to be less than 30m. No DNAPL is predicted to enter the +20-MSL zone, which agrees with site information. The simulations also clearly demonstrate the minimal effect of the current pumping scheme on source reduction and DNAPL movement.

The films were grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Ca(NO3)2 solutions were deposited on the film surface and annealed over a large temperature range (300–870 °C) in air. The rate of Ca diffusion was measured to be the same in the c-axis and a-axis oriented films. The activation energy for Ca diffusion in YBCO was measured to be 67±10 kJ/mol. Fast diffusion along the grain boundaries was observed at temperatures below 700 °C with an activation energy of 46±12 kJ/mol. At 300 °C, the grain boundary diffusion coefficient is around 1.7×10−14 cm2 s−1, which is 100 times larger than the corresponding bulk diffusion coefficient.

The interface structures were characterized by high resolution electron microscopy (HREM), and it indicated that the film deposited on a CeO2 buffer layer shows a much better epitaxy than that deposited directly on the substrate, because of the small lattice mismatch between the film and the buffer layer. HREM also revealed definite orientation relationship among the film, the buffer layer, and the substrate, i.e. [1¯10](004¯)SrWO4//[11¯0](002)CeO2//[201¯2¯](1¯102¯)sapphire.

JO - Tree Physiology JF - Tree Physiology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 23 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 1125 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 0829318X AB - To evaluate indicators of whole-tree physiological responses to climate stress, we determined seasonal, daily and diurnal patterns of growth and water use in 10 yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) trees in a stand recently released from competition. Precise measurements of stem increment and sap flow made with automated electronic dendrometers and thermal dissipation probes, respectively, indicated close temporal linkages between water use and patterns of stem shrinkage and swelling during daily cycles of water depletion and recharge of extensible outer-stem tissues. These cycles also determined net daily basal area increment. Multivariate regression models based on a 123-day data series showed that daily diameter increments were related negatively to vapor pressure deficit (VPD), but positively to precipitation and temperature. The same model form with slight changes in coefficients yielded coefficients of determination of about 0.62 (0.57–0.66) across data subsets that included widely variable growth rates and VPDs. Model R 2 was improved to 0.75 by using 3-day running mean daily growth data. Rapid recovery of stem diameter growth following short-term, diurnal reductions in VPD indicated that water stored in extensible stem tissues was part of a fast recharge system that limited hydration changes in the cambial zone during periods of water stress. There were substantial differences in the seasonal dynamics of growth among individual trees, and analyses indicated that faster-growing trees were more positively affected by precipitation, solar irradiance and temperature and more negatively affected by high VPD than slower-growing trees. There were no negative effects of ozone on daily growth rates in a year of low ozone concentrations.

We collected densely spaced GPR travel time measurements using 900 and 450 MHz antennas and analyzed these data to estimate water content. The spatial distribution of water content across the vineyard did not change significantly with time, although the absolute water content values varied seasonally and with irrigation. The GPR estimates of water content were compared to gravimetric water content, time domain reflectometry, and soil texture measurements. The comparisons of GPR-derived estimates of water content to gravimetric water content measurements showed that the GPR estimates had a root mean square error of volumetric water content of the order of 0.01. The results from this study indicate that GPR ground waves can be used to provide noninvasive, spatially dense estimates of shallow water content over large areas and in a rapid manner.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 39 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - A simple analytical method for estimating surface soil moisture directly from rainfall data is proposed and studied. Soil moisture dynamics are represented by a linear stochastic partial differential equation [ Entekhabi and Rodriguez-Iturbe, 1994]. A diagnostic equation is derived from the soil moisture dynamics equation by eliminating the diffusion term. The derived daily soil moisture function is a time-weighted average of previous cumulative rainfall over a given period (e.g., >14 days). The advantage of this method is that information on the initial condition of soil moisture, which is often not available at all times and locations, is not needed. The loss coefficient in the diagnostic equation for soil moisture can be estimated from land surface characteristics and soil properties. The method for determining the averaging window size, the loss coefficient, and the infiltration coefficient are described and demonstrated. The soil moisture data observed during three field experiments, i.e., Monsoon'90, Washita'92, and SGP'97, are compared to the calculated soil moisture. The results indicate that the proposed method is robust and has the potential for useful soil moisture predictions.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 39 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - This study extends and applies the theory of micromixing, first introduced in the chemical reaction engineering literature, to the topic of reactive transport in porous media. For all but the simplest linear kinetic and sorption models the fate and transport of a reactive solute depends on the residence times and the details of small-scale mixing. The latter phenomenon, also called micromixing, is important because it brings into close proximity chemical species that react, and it controls the local concentrations in a flowing system. Solutes with reaction rates or sorption isotherms that depend on species concentration will therefore be affected by micromixing. Two models for micromixing are introduced, the minimum and maximum mixedness models, that provide bounds on the extent of reaction or retardation behavior within the constraints imposed by the residence time distribution (RTD) of a conservative solute in the same flow system. These mixing models prescribe the latest or earliest permissible mixing of parcels of fluid of different residence times, which in turn bounds the degree of reaction of a reactive solute for nonlinear rate laws or sorption isotherms. Simulation results using the bounding models show that micromixing effects are most important for nonlinear reaction curves, solute pulses of short duration, and systems with broad RTD curves. Use of these models is a straightforward and practical way to investigate the importance of a phenomenon for which data are seldom available and whose impact on groundwater reactive transport models has heretofore not been studied in a systematic, bounding manner.

It is the material of choice for numerous biomedical applications such as endovascular stents, vena cava filters, dental files and guidewires for non-invasive surgery, etc. Micro-scale abrasion tests (MSATs) have been performed on the NiTi shape memory alloy, so as to evaluate the influence of different commercial abrasives such as silicon carbide, alumina and glass on the wear behaviour. The aim of the work was the selection of the most effective abrasive for cleaning the inner surface of laser-cut cardiovascular stents. Abrasive particles have been characterised by X-ray diffraction, SEM and EDS before and after MSATs. Worn surfaces have been studied by stylus profilometry, SEM and atomic force microscopy. The effect of abrasive particle hardness, size and angularity on the wear behaviour has been evaluated and discussed.

In an effort to share survey methodology of a large research institution, aspects of the x-ray safety program at Los Alamos National Laboratory are described. A definition of an intentional x-ray generating device is proposed in light of the absence or inadequacy of such a definition in applicable federal law and national consensus guidance documents. Regulations and procedures are discussed, and a sample database used in managing the Los Alamos program is presented.

The valence band offsets are -2.1±0.1 eV and +0.2±0.1 eV at the SrTiO[sub 3]/Si and TiO[sub 2]/SrTiO[sub 3] heterojunctions, respectively. Assuming bulk band gaps for the SrTiO[sub 3] and TiO[sub 2] epitaxial films, the associated conduction band offsets are +0.1±0.1 eV and +0.1±0.1 eV. Si at the interface is in a flatband state, indicating a very low density of electronic states. These results suggest that spin-polarized electron injection from ferromagnetic Co-doped TiO[sub 2] anatase into Si should be facile. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The results in conjunction with their model simulations clearly reveal that the measurements enable one to resolve varying magnetization with depth in the individual magnetic layers of such a multicomponent ultrathin layered structure on the atomic scales. Significant interference effects combined with penetration depth of resonant soft x rays, which are closely associated with their absorptive and refractive contributions, offer remarkably different depth sensitivities into the Kerr effects depending on grazing angle and resonance energy. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We use this correspondence to study a scenario in which the Higgs appears as a composite pseudo-Goldstone boson (PGB) of a strongly coupled theory. We show how a non-linearly realized global symmetry protects the Higgs mass and guarantees the absence of quadratic divergences at any loop order. The gauge and Yukawa interactions for the PGB Higgs are simple to introduce in the 5D AdS theory, and their one-loop contributions to the Higgs potential are calculated using perturbation theory. These contributions are finite, giving a squared-mass to the Higgs which is one-loop smaller than the mass of the first Kaluza–Klein state. We also show that if the symmetry breaking is caused by boundary conditions in the extra dimension, the PGB Higgs corresponds to the fifth component of the bulk gauge boson. To make the model fully realistic, a tree-level Higgs quartic coupling must be induced. We present a possible mechanism to generate it and discuss the conditions under which an unwanted large Higgs mass term is avoided.

CYP3A substrates inhibited the protein aggregation and subsequent degradation, suggesting that this process is important in substrate-mediated stabilization of CYP3A. In this paper, we demonstrate that oxidative stress is a key factor in the formation of CYP3A aggregates in incubated microsomes and in a reconstimted system with purified enzymes. Our data further suggest that the effects of oxidative stress are mediated by lipid hydroperoxides, which are efficiently metabolized by CYP3A. In the presence of substrate, the CYP3A-mediated lipid hydroperoxide metabolism is inhibited along with the associated protein aggregation. Therefore, these studies provide a mechanistic model of why CYP3A has a relatively short half-life and how substrates stabilize CYP3A.

To deconvolute the data of a TMDSC scan into a total and reversing part, it is common practice to use the sliding averages and the first harmonics of the Fourier series of temperature and heat-flow rate. Under certain conditions, this procedure produces erroneous reversing contributions which are detailed by experiment and simulation. Unless the response to the temperature modulation is linear, the total heat-flow rate is stationary, and the transition is truly reversible and occurs only once during the temperature scan, one cannot expect a true deconvolution of total and reversible effects. In the presence of multiple, irreversible transitions within a modulation period, however, each process involving latent heat can increase the modulation amplitude, as demonstrated by computer-simulation of polymer melting. As a result, the multiple transitions may give erroneously high latent heats when integrating the apparent reversing heat capacity with respect to temperature.

The reservoir has been accumulating in subsoil zones of arid regions throughout the Holocene. Consideration of the subsoil reservoir raises estimates of vadose-zone nitrogen inventories by 14 to 71% for warm deserts and arid shrublands worldwide and by 3 to 16% globally. Subsoil nitrate accumulation indicates long-term leaching from desert soils, impelling further evaluation of nutrient dynamics in xeric ecosystems. Evidence that subsoil accumulations are readily mobilized raises concern about groundwater contamination after land-use or climate change.

Applied to formaldehyde as a test system, this approach is found to yield optimized bond lengths and bond angle in the diffusion Monte Carlo method that lie within experimental error. The variational Monte Carlo optimized geometry also lies within experimental error, with the exception of the CH bond length, which is slightly underestimated. Additionally, the resulting quadratic representation of the potential energy surface in the region of the minimum is used to calculate three of the force constants and harmonic frequencies. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The CF[sub 3]I[sup +] cation is prepared by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization of CF[sub 3]I via the [X [sup 2]E[sub 3/2]]6p, [2]5[sub 0][sup 1] band, and the (X [sup 2]E[sub 3/2]) ground-state population in the CF[sub 3]I[sup +] ion is unambiguously characterized by using photoelectron spectroscopy. Photodissociation of the state-selected CF[sub 3]I[sup +] ion results in fragmentation to both CF[sub 3][sup +]+I and CF[sub 3]+I[sup +]. The translational energy distribution derived from the two-dimensional images of the CF[sub 3][sup +] fragments shows vibrational progressions that provide detailed information on the channeling of the parent internal energy into the dissociation process. The translational energy distribution of the CF[sub 3][sup +] fragment shows a one-to-one dependence on the excitation energy, which is typical of a single-photon dissociation process. The observation of a repeated pattern of rings in the CF[sub 3][sup +] images with an interval of ∼800 cm-1 indicates that the ν[sub 2] umbrella mode of the CF[sub 3][sup +] fragment is excited upon dissociation. The low-kinetic-energy release observed in this channel indicates that substantial energy is deposited into the internal degrees of freedom of the CF[sub 3][sup +] fragment and suggests that the dissociation is controlled by the Franck–Condon factors between the parent ion and fragments. The translational energy distribution of the I[sup +] fragment is independent of the excitation wavelength and includes a feature peaking at near-zero kinetic energy. Plausible mechanisms for the CF[sub 3][sup +] and I[sup +] dissociation channels are discussed in terms of the observed kinetic energy and anisotropy distributions derived from the two-dimensional ion images. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The methanol molecule carries a molecular polarizability to account for induction energies and forces. The computed dipole moment for the methanol molecule changed from 1.7 to 2.8 D, respectively, from the vapor to the liquid phases. This result indicated that there are significant many-body interactions in this complex molecular system. The computed average molecular dipole moment in liquid methanol at room temperature is in good agreement with experimental measurements. The computed average dipole moments of methanol molecules near the interface are close to their gas phase values, while methanol molecules far from the interface have dipole moments corresponding to their bulk values. The structural and thermodynamic properties of the liquid methanol as well as the surface tension of its liquid/vapor interface are in good agreement with the experiments, demonstrating the high quality of our potential model and simulation approaches. A constrained molecular dynamics technique was used to investigate the transport mechanism of a methanol molecule across the methanol liquid/vapor interface. The computed transfer free energy changed gradually as the methanol molecule approached the Gibbs dividing surface, and it crossed the interface with no substantial minimum free energy. The computed solvation free energy of the methanol molecule in liquid methanol estimated from the free energy profile (4.25 kcal/mol) is in good agreement with the corresponding experimental measurement (4.89 kcal/mol). © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/11/08/ VL - 107 IS - 45 M3 - Article SP - 9641 EP - 9651 SN - 10895639 AB - Structures, vibrational frequencies, atomization energies at 0 K, and heats of formation at 298 K were obtained for four oxyfluoride molecules, several of which are known to present difficulties for single reference ab initio methods. Whereas much of this work was carried out with coupled cluster theory, multireference configuration interaction calculations were also performed, as an independent check on the reliability of the former. The use of large basis sets (up through augmented sextuple zeta quality in some cases) and a simple basis set extrapolation formula enabled us to accurately estimate the complete basis set limit. However, to achieve near chemical accuracy (±1 kcal/mol) in the thermodynamic properties, it was necessary to include three corrections to the frozen core atomization energies, in addition to the zero-point vibrational energy: (1) a core/valence correction; (2) a Douglas-Kroll-Hess scalar relativistic correction; and (3) a first-order atomic spin-orbit correction. Several approaches to approximating the remaining correlation energy were examined. Theory and experiment are in good agreement for the structures, with the largest difference associated with the FO bond length of FOOF, where the best theoretical value is 0.020 Å shorter than experiment. Agreement with the available experimental heats of formation is good for FO and F2O and much worse for FOO and FOOF. The final theoretical heats of formation (kcal/mol) at 298 K are 27.9 ± 0.4 (FO), 6.6 ± 0.5 (F2O), 9.6 ± 0.6 (FO2), and 9.6 ± 0.9 (FOOF), where the uncertainties include an estimate for the intrinsic errors in the calculations. The corresponding experimental values adopted by the NIST-JANAF tables are 26.1 ± 2.4 (FO), 5.9 ± 0.5 (F2O), 6.1 ± 0.5 (FO2), and 4.6 ± 0.5 (FOOF). We suggest that the values reported here for FO and FO2 are the most reliable values available for these species and recommend their use. For FOOF, the current theoretical as well as that of others differ significantly from experiment and we recommend their use. Our theoretical value for FOOF has the smallest estimated error limits. In light of the demonstrated accuracy of the approach followed here for a large number of molecules and the magnitude of the discrepancy between theory and experiment for FO2 and FOOF, a reexamination of these systems by experimentalists appears justified.

We found decoupling in time between the emission of gold and that of silicon with samples containing gold spheres of diameter 3 nm. We have analyzed the changes in the silica optical absorption at 1064 nm, using photothermal deflection microscopy. We find, upon exceeding a sharp fluence threshold, a thousand-fold increase in absorption of the silica matrix around the inclusion. We conclude that ions from the inclusion permeate the surrounding silica, and form a highly absorbent mixture. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The structure of superconductivity-quenching Δc≈0.25 nm out-of-phase boundaries (OPBs) in the film is also reported. Growth in one region on the La-terminated surface is observed to nucleate with a SrO layer. Because two structurally equivalent SrO layers exist within the unit cell, two neighboring nuclei with differing growth order (SrO-RuO[sub 2]-SrO or RuO[sub 2]-SrO-SrO) will nucleate an OPB where their misaligned growth fronts meet. Strategies to avoid OPB generation by this mechanism are suggested, which it is hoped may ultimately lead to superconducting Sr[sub 2]RuO[sub 4] films. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

While such behavior is predicted from two-dimensional collective pinning models under certain assumptions, empirical observations of the thickness dependence of J[sub c] are believed to be largely processing dependent at present. To investigate this behavior in ex situ YBCO films, 2.0- and 2.9-μm-thick YBCO films on ion beam assisted deposition-yttria stabilized zirconia substrates were thinned and repeatedly measured for ρ(T) and J[sub c](H). The 2.9 μm film exhibited a constant J[sub c][77 K, self-field (SF)] through thickness of ∼1 MA/cm[sup 2] while the 2.0 μm film exhibited an increase in J[sub c](77 K, SF) as it was thinned. Neither film offered evidence of significant dead layers, suggesting that further increases in critical current can be obtained by growing thicker YBCO layers. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

In addition, nonmagnetic tape substrates are an important factor in order to reduce the ferromagnetic hysteresis energy loss in ac applications. We report progress toward a conductive buffer layer architecture on biaxially textured nonmagnetic Cu tapes to electrically couple the HTS layer to the underlying metal substrate. A protective Ni overlayer, followed by a single buffer layer of La[sub 0.7]Sr[sub 0.3]MnO[sub 3], was employed to avoid Cu diffusion and to improve oxidation resistance of the substrate. Property characterizations of YBCO films on short prototype samples revealed self-field critical current density (J[sub c]) values exceeding 2×10[sup 6] A/cm[sup 2] at 77 K and good electrical connectivity. Magnetic hysteretic loss due to Ni overlayer was also investigated. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The linear optical absorption coefficients α for three n-type GaAs films of varying doping concentrations have been measured in the range of 10 to 100 cm[sup -1] using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. These results show α having maximum values of between 46 cm[sup -1] at 1×10[sup 15] cm[sup -3] and approximately 800 cm[sup -1] at 2.1×10[sup 16] cm[sup -3].

The method is demonstrated through the characterization of a series of polymer photoresist gratings using a synchrotron x-ray source.

The key idea of our model is that the low-lying excitations form a sequence of "rotational bands", i.e. for each such band the excitation energies depend quadratically on the total spin quantum number. As rotational bands characterise the spectra of many magnetic molecules our method opens a new road towards a description of their low-temperature behaviour which is not accessible otherwise.

The simple unambiguous relation between few-nucleon and many-nucleon Hamiltonians is directly related to the Galilean covariance of nonrelativistic dynamics. Relations between the irreducible unitary representations of the Galilei and Poincaré groups indicate that the "nonrelativistic" nuclear Hamiltonians may provide sufficiently accurate approximations to Poincaré invariant mass operators. In relativistic nuclear dynamics based on suitable Lagrangeans the intrinsic nucleon parity is an explicit, dynamically relevant, degree of freedom and the emphasis is on properties of nuclear matter. The success of this approach suggests the question how it might account for the spectral properties of light nuclei.

The approach unveils the hidden unity behind seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, thus establishing exact connections between them. This leads to the fundamental concept of universality of physical phenomena, a general concept not restricted to the domain of critical behaviour. Key to our framework is the concept of languages and the construction of dictionaries relating them.

Four isolates (SE6954, SE8603, UG035, and UG266) had clear recombination patterns that included subtypes A1, D and C. The two remaining strains (SE8646 and SE9010) also appeared to be recombinant but had a more complex pattern. To facilitate the classification of these two genomes we developed a metric, the branching index, for characterization of “problematic” sequence fragments that associate to a subtype cluster with a high bootstrap value but are only distantly related to the reference sequences. The branching index is able to signal when parental representatives may be missing and a subtype classification thus is not meaningful. Several fragments of SE8646 and SE9010 had a branching index below the subtype defining cutoff value (0.55) and, therefore, these genomes could not be unequivocally classified. The branching index, with a cutoff value defined from analyses of HIV-1 reference sequences, may be a useful approach not only for more conservative classifications of HIV-1 subtypes but also for analyzing relationships among other types of sequences.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/11/11/ VL - 42 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 12749 EP - 12760 SN - 00062960 AB - Amyloid β 1-42 (Aβ[SUB1]-42) is a self-associating peptide that becomes neurotoxic upon aggregation. Toxicity originally was attributed to the presence of large, readily formed A/5 fibrils, but a variety of other toxic species are now known. The current study shows that Aβ[SUB1]-42 can self-assemble into small, stable globular assemblies free of fibrils and protofibrils. Absence of large molecules was verified by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nondenaturing gel electrophoresis. Denaturing electrophoresis revealed that the globular assemblies comprised oligomers ranging from trimers to 24mers. Oligomers prepared at 4 °C stayed fibril-free for days and remained so when shifted to 37 °C, although the spectrum of sizes shifted toward larger oligomers at the higher temperature. The soluble, globular Aβ[SUB1]-42 oligomers were toxic to PC12 cells, impairing reduction of MTT and interfering with ERK and Rac signal transduction. Occasionally, oligomers were neither toxic nor recognized by toxicity-neutralizing antibodies, suggesting that oligomers could assume alternative conformations. Tests for oligomerization-blocking activity were carded out by dot-blot immunoassays and showed that neuroprotective extracts of Ginkgo biloba could inhibit oligomer formation at very low doses. The observed neurotoxicity, structure, and stability of synthetic Aβ[SUB1]-42 globular assemblies support the hypothesis that Aβ[SUB1]-42 oligomers play a role in triggering nerve cell dysfunction and death in Alzheimer's disease.

Time resolution ∼20 ps (10–30 GHz), energy discrimination, and significant stand off distance may be needed for credible burn history measurements.The 16.75 MeV gamma rays that accompany deuterium–tritium (d+t) fusion provide a high-bandwidth alternative to 14 MeV fusion neutrons for d+t burn-history measurements. A thresholding detector, based on the Cherenkov effect, resulting from Compton and pair production electron interactions in gaseous carbon dioxide, offers a means of separating the high-energy fusion gamma rays from other background sources. When coupled to appropriate streak camera recorders, a gas Cherenkov system response of 15 GHz is feasible. As a first step toward this goal, a gas Cherenkov system, employing a 1 GHz photodiode detector, was fielded at the Omega laser facility to demonstrate unambiguous detection of fusion gamma rays from high-yield d+t implosions. With the carbon dioxide Cherenkov production threshold at 12 MeV, the observed high-energy gamma-ray signal is proportional to the observed 14 MeV fusion neutron yield and independent of neutron-induced gamma rays.

A surprising exception to this behaviour has recently been observed in doped silver chalcogenides, which exhibit an anomalously large, quasi-linear magnetoresistive response that extends down to low fields and survives, even at extreme fields of 55 T and beyond. Here we present a simple model of a macroscopically disordered and strongly inhomogeneous semiconductor that exhibits a similar non-saturating magnetoresistance. In addition to providing a possible explanation for the behaviour of doped silver chalcogenides, our model suggests potential routes for the construction of magnetic field sensors with a large, controllable and linear response.

The primary objective of this project was to develop, test and validate a vulnerability assessment methodology (VAM) for determining the security of chemical facilities against terrorist or criminal attacks (VAM-CF™). The project also included a report to the Department of Justice for Congress that in addition to describing the VAM-CF™ also addressed general observations related to security practices, threats and risks at chemical facilities and chemical transport.In the development of the VAM-CF™ Sandia leveraged the experience gained from the use and development of VAs in other areas and the input from the chemical industry and Federal agencies. The VAM-CF™ is a systematic, risk-based approach where risk is a function of the severity of consequences of an undesired event, the attack potential, and the likelihood of adversary success in causing the undesired event. For the purpose of the VAM-CF™ analyses Risk is a function of S, LA, and LAS, where S is the severity of consequence of an event, LA is the attack potential and LAS likelihood of adversary success in causing a catastrophic event. The VAM-CF™ consists of 13 basic steps. It involves an initial screening step, which helps to identify and prioritize facilities for further analysis. This step is similar to the prioritization approach developed by the American Chemistry Council (ACC). Other steps help to determine the components of the risk equation and ultimately the risk. The VAM-CF™ process involves identifying the hazardous chemicals and processes at a chemical facility. It helps chemical facilities to focus their attention on the most critical areas. The VAM-CF™ is not a quantitative analysis but, rather, compares relative security risks. If the risks are deemed too high, recommendations are developed for measures to reduce the risk. This paper will briefly discuss the CFVA project and VAM-CF™ process.

The role of this specific organization in signaling for T cell activation has been controversial. We use in vitro and in silico experiments to determine that the immunological synapse acts as a type of adaptive controller that both boosts T cell receptor triggering and attenuates strong signals.

The benefit of ultrafast lasers was evaluated regarding thermalinduced chemical fractionation, that is otherwise well known to limit LA-ICPMS. Both lasers had a Gaussian beam energy profile and were tested using the same ablation system and ICPMS analyzer. Resulting crater morphologies and analytical signals showed more straightforward femtosecond laser ablation processes, with minimai thermal effects. Despite a less stable energy output, the ultrafast laser yielded elemental (Pb/U, Pb/Th) and Pb isotopic ratios that were more precise, repeatable, and accurate, even when compared to the best analytical conditions for the nanosecond laser. Measurements on NIST glasses, monazites, and zircon also showed that femtosecond LA-ICPMS calibration was less matrixmatched dependent and therefore more versatile.

The detection method uses Raman active dyelabeled DNA gene probes, self-assembled monolayers, and nanostructured metallic substrates as SERS-active platforms. The mercaptohexane-labeled single-stranded DNA (SH- (CH[SUB2])[SUB6-ss]DNA)/6-mercapto- 1-hexanol system formed on a silver surface is characterized by atomic force microcopy. The surface-enhanced Raman gene (SERGen) probes developed in this study can be used to detect DNA targets via hybridization to complementary DNA probes. The probes do not require the use of radioactive labels and have a great potential to provide both sensitivity and selectivity. The effectiveness of this approach and its application in cancer gene diagnostics (BRCA1 breast cancer gene) are investigated.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 75 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 6209 EP - 6217 SN - 00032700 AB - A method has been developed for high sequence coverage analysis of proteins isolated from breast cancer cell lines. Intact proteins are isolated using multidimensional liquid. phase separations that permit the collection of individual protein fractions. Protein digests are then analyzed by both matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-offlight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) peptide mass fingerprinting and by capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization (CE-ESI)-TOF MS peptide mapping. These methods can be readily interfaced to the relatively clean proteins resulting from liquid-phase fractionation of cell lysates with little sample preparation. Using combined sequence information provided by both mapping methods, 100% sequence coverage is often obtained for smaller proteins, while for larger proteins up to 75 kDa, over 90% coverage can be obtained. Furthermore, an accurate intact protein MW value (within 150 ppm) can be obtained from ESI-TOF MS. The intact MW together with high coverage sequence information provides accurate identification. More notably the high sequence coverage of CE-ESI-TOF MS together with the MS/MS information provided by the ion trap/reTOF MS elucidates posttranslational modifications, sequence changes, truncations, and isoforms that may otherwise go undetected when standard MALDI-MS peptide fingerprinting is used. This capability is critical in the analysis of human cancer ceils where large numbers of expressed proteins are modified, and these modifcafions may play an important role in the cancer process.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 75 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 6236 EP - 6243 SN - 00032700 AB - New genome sequence information is rapidly increasing the number of nucleic acid (NA) targets of use for characterizing and treating diseases. Detection of these targets by fluorescence-based assays is often limited by fluorescence background from unincorporated or unbound probes that are present in large excess over the target. To solve this problem, energy transfer-based probes have been developed and used to reduce the fluorescence from unbound probes. Although these probes have revolutionized NA target detection, their use requires scrupulous attention to design constraints, extensive probe quality control, and individually optimized experimental conditions. Here, we describe a simpler background reduction approach using singly labeled quencher oligomers to suppress excess unbound probe fluorescence following probe-target hybridization. A second limitation of most fluorescence-based NA target detection and quantification assays is the requirement for enzymatic amplification of target or signal for sensitivity. Amplification steps make quantification of original target copy number problematic because of variations in amplification efficiencies between the sequence targets and the experimental conditions. To avoid amplification, we coupled our quenching approach to a two-color NA assay with cotrelated, two-color, single-molecule fluorescence detection. We demonstrate a > 100-fold background reduction and detection of targets present at concentrations as low as 100 fM using the two-color assay. The application of this technique to the detection and quantification of specific mRNA sequences enabled us to estimate β-actin copy numbers in cell-derived total RNA without an amPlificalion step.

JO - Development (09501991) JF - Development (09501991) Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 130 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 5425 EP - 5436 SN - 09501991 AB - In Xenopus, axis development is initiated by dorsally elevated levels of cytoplasmic β-catenin, an intracellular factor regulated by GSK3 kinase activity. Upon fertilization, factors that increase β-catenin stability are translocated to the prospective dorsal side of the embryo in a microtubule-dependent process. However, neither the identity of these factors nor the mechanism of their movement is understood. Here, we show that the GSK3 inhibitory protein GBP/Frat binds kinesin light chain (KLC), a component of the microtubule motor kinesin. Upon egg activation, GBP-GFP and KLC-GFP form particles and exhibit directed translocation. KLC, through a previously uncharacterized conserved domain, binds a region of GBP that is required for GBP translocation and for GSK3 binding, and competes with GSK3 for GBP. We propose a model in which conventional kinesin transports a GBP-containing complex to the future dorsal side, where GBP dissociates and contributes to the local stabilization of β-catenin by binding and inhibiting GSK3.

Garnet phenocrysts from the 79 AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius were dated to evaluate the accuracy with which the necessary measurements and corrections can be made. The determined age, corrected for diffusive loss of He, alpha ejection, and initial U-series disequilibrium, is 1885±188 yr which compares well with the known age of 1923 yr. U and Th concentrations were measured by isotope dilution on different aliquots than were used for He concentration measurements. Step-wise degassing yielded an Arrhenius relationship for He diffusion in garnet with an activation energy of 91.31±5.76 kJ/mol and ln D0/a2=−2.00±0.56. The uniformity of U and Th concentrations in garnet was checked by ion microprobe analysis. The 234U/238U and 230Th/238U activity ratios were measured by MC-ICPMS. The results suggest that with proper analysis and corrections, the U–Th/He method can be used to date young volcanic minerals with useful precision and accuracy, and may therefore be valuable for dating volcanic rocks that have low K or are otherwise difficult to date accurately with Ar–Ar or radiocarbon.

Preparation was done using Pd vapor deposition. Characterization was done using Auger electron spectroscopy and low-energy ion scattering. After deposition, Pd always (partly) diffuses into the Au(1 1 1) crystal and forms stable surface alloys. Two surface alloys with Pd surface concentrations of ca. 38 and 65% were transferred into the electrochemical environment. Three major findings from the electrocatalytic study can be summarized as follows: (i) hydrogen oxidation on Au(1 1 1)–Pd surface alloys is ca. one order of magnitude slower as compared to Pt(1 1 1); (ii) Au(1 1 1)–Pd surface alloys show finite and stable activity for the continuous oxidation of pure CO at potentials below 0.2 V with a positive reaction order with respect to solution phase CO; (iii) the oxidation of 1000 ppm CO in H2 at potentials below 0.2 V is governed by the slow H2 oxidation kinetics and the unfavorable partial pressure dependence. At potentials above 0.2 V, however, the steady-state activity of a high-surface area Au–Pd catalyst can be reached.

T1 - Pt submonolayers on metal nanoparticles—novel electrocatalysts for H2 oxidation and O2 reduction JO - Electrochimica Acta JF - Electrochimica Acta Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 48 IS - 25/26 M3 - Article SP - 3841 SN - 00134686 AB - Novel electrocatalysts based on Pt submonolayer deposits on Ru and Au nanoparticles, and on a Au(1 1 1) surface, have been prepared by two new methods for noble metal monolayer deposition. These were tested for H2 and H2/CO oxidation and O2 reduction kinetics. Our recently reported methods for controlled submonolayer-to-multilayer deposition of Pt involve spontaneous deposition of Pt on Ru and Pt deposition by redox replacement of a Cu upd monolayer on Au. The Pt mass-specific activity for H2 oxidation of the PtRu20 electrocatalyst was found to be three to four times higher than that of commercial catalysts at 25 °C. The CO tolerance appears to be also higher than those of commercial catalysts under conditions of rotating disk experiments. Fuel cell tests at 80 °C have shown practically the same activity of the PtRu20 electrocatalyst for H2 oxidation as that of the catalyst containing a 10× larger Pt loading. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy measurements showed that Pt is coordinated with three to four Ru atoms in this catalyst, with a bond length of 2.68 A˚ between Pt and Ru as in PtRu alloys. A Pt0.75Pd0.25 monolayer on Au/C is a very active electrocatalyst for O2 reduction that equals the activity of a Pt/C catalyst with a 2.5 times larger Pt loading. The activity of a Pt monolayer on Au(1 1 1) is also considerable. A single Tafel slope of −110 mV for the Pt0.75Pd0.25/Au/C catalyst, and a −120 mV for Au(1 1 1), may indicate a smaller adsorption of OH on Pt and Pt0.75Pd0.25 on Au in comparison with bulk or nano Pt. Further work utilizing a Pt monolayer on metal nanoparticles seems to be a promising approach for both reduction of noble metal loading and designing electrocatalysts with improved properties.

We estimate costs for a conventional baling system at varying levels of feedstock demand or conversion facility size. Our results generally indicate that stover can be collected, stored, and hauled for about $43.10–51.60/dry ton using conventional baling equipment for conversion facilities ranging from 500 to 4000 dry tons/day. The cost difference between facility sizes is due to transportation. Transportation, collection and baling, and farmer payments account for over 90% of total delivered costs. These estimates are based on average corn stover resource availability assumptions and are inclusive of all costs including farmer payments. Under conditions of high resource availability costs can be lowered by $6–10/dry ton. Delivered costs increase considerably under low resource availability conditions.

We evaluated a modified freeze core technique for the collection of intact cobble-bed samples from the Columbia River HZ along a stretch of the Hanford Reach in Washington State and investigated microbiological and geochemical parameters of corresponding frozen and unfrozen samples. During three sampling periods (March, May, and November 2000), relatively high numbers of viable aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were recovered from both unfrozen (10[sup6]-10[sup7] cfu/g) and frozen samples (10sup5]-10[sup6] cfu/g). Relatively large populations of sulfate-, nitrate-, and iron-reducing bacteria were present, and significant concentrations of acid-volatile sulfide were measured in some samples, indicating that anoxic regions exist within this zone. Cr(Vl), a priority groundwater pollutant on adjacent U.S. Department of Energy lands, was probably removed from solution in HZ samples by a combination of microbial activity and chemical reduction, presumably via products of anaerobic microbial metabolism. These results suggest that biogeochemical processes in the Columbia River HZ may contribute to the natural attenuation of Cr(Vl). Although freezing modestly diminished recovery of viable bacteria, freeze core techniques proved reliable for the collection of intact hyporheic sediments.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 37 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 5219 EP - 5227 SN - 0013936X AB - Electron transfer from zerovalent iron (Fe[sup0]) to targeted contaminants is affected by initial Fe[sup0] composition, the oxides formed during corrosion, and surrounding electrolytes. We previously observed enhanced metolachlor destruction by Fe[sup0] when iron or aluminum salts were present in the aqueous matrix and Eh/pH conditions favored formation of green rusts. To understand these enhanced destruction rates, we characterized changes in Fe[sup0] composition during treatment of metolachlor with and without iron and aluminum salts. Raman microspectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the iron source was initially coated with a thin layer of magnetite (Fe[sup0]O[sup0]), maghemite (β- Fe[sub2]O[sub3]), and wüstite (FeO). Time-resolved analysis indicated that akaganeite (β-Fe00H) was the dominant oxide formed during Fe[sup0] treatment of metolachlor. Goethite (α-Fe00H) and some lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) formed when Al[sub2](SO[sub4])[sub3] was present, while goethite and magnetite (Fe[sub3]O[sub4]) were identified in Fe[sup0] treatments containing FeSO[sub4]. Although conditions favoring formation of sulfate green rust (GR(II); Fe[sub6](OH)[sub12]SO[sub4]) facilitated Fe[sup0]-mediated dechlorination of metolachlor, only adsorption was observed when GR(II) was synthesized (without Fe[sup0]) in the presence of metolachlor and Eh/pH changed to favor Fe(III)oxyhydroxide or magnetite formation. In contrast, dechlorination occurred when magnetite or natural goethite was amended with Fe(II) (as FeSO[sub4]) at pH 8 and continued as long as additional Fe(II) was provided. While metolachlor was not dechlorinated by GR(II) itself during a 48-h incubation, the GR(II) provided a source of Fe(II) and produced magnetite (and other oxide surfaces) that coordinated Fe(II), which then facilitated dechlorination.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 37 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 5247 EP - 5353 SN - 0013936X AB - The uptake of Eu[sup3+] by elongating oat roots was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime measurement, and a laser excitation time-resolved confocal fluorescence profiling technique. The results of this work indicated that initial uptake of Eu[sup3+] was highest within the undifferentiated cells of the root tip just behind the root cap, a region of maximal cell growth and differentiation and with incomplete formation of the Casparian strip around the central vascular cylinder. Distribution of assimilated Eu[sup3+] within the root's differentiation and elongation zone was nonuniform. Higher concentrations of Eu[sup3+] were observed within the vascular cylinder, specifically in the phloem and developing xylem parenchyma. Elevated levels of the metal were also observed in the root hairs of the mature rootzone. Fluorescence spectroscopic characteristics of the assimilated Eu[sup3+] suggested that the Eu[sup3+] exists as inner-sphere mononuclear complexes inside the root. This work also demonstrated the effectiveness of a time-resolved Eu[sup3+] fluorescence spectroscopy and confocal fluorescence profiling techniques for the in vivo, real- time study of metal [Eu[sup3+]] accumulation by a functioning intact plant root This approach can prove valuable for basic and applied studies in plant nutrition and environmental uptake of actinide radionuclides.

T1 - Long-term rates of chemical weathering and physical erosion from cosmogenic nuclides and geochemical mass balance JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 67 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 4411 SN - 00167037 AB - Quantifying long-term rates of chemical weathering and physical erosion is important for understanding the long-term evolution of soils, landscapes, and Earth''s climate. Here we describe how long-term chemical weathering rates can be measured for actively eroding landscapes using cosmogenic nuclides together with a geochemical mass balance of weathered soil and parent rock. We tested this approach in the Rio Icacos watershed, Puerto Rico, where independent studies have estimated weathering rates over both short and long timescales. Results from the cosmogenic/mass balance method are consistent with three independent sets of weathering rate estimates, thus confirming that this approach yields realistic measurements of long-term weathering rates. This approach can separately quantify weathering rates from saprolite and from overlying soil as components of the total. At Rio Icacos, nearly 50% of Si weathering occurs as rock is converted to saprolite; in contrast, nearly 100% of Al weathering occurs in the soil. Physical erosion rates are measured as part of our mass balance approach, making it particularly useful for studying interrelationships between chemical weathering and physical erosion. Our data show that chemical weathering rates are tightly coupled with physical erosion rates, such that the relationship between climate and chemical weathering rates may be obscured by site-to-site differences in the rate that minerals are supplied to soil by physical erosion of rock. One can normalize for variations in physical erosion rates using the “chemical depletion fraction,” which measures the fraction of total denudation that is accounted for by chemical weathering. This measure of chemical weathering intensity increases with increasing average temperature and precipitation in data from climatically diverse granitic sites, including tropical Rio Icacos and six temperate sites in the Sierra Nevada, California. Hence, across a wide range of climate regimes, analysis of chemical depletion fractions appears to effectively account for site-to-site differences in physical erosion rates, which would otherwise obscure climatic effects on chemical weathering rates. Our results show that by quantifying rates of physical erosion and chemical weathering together, our mass balance approach can be used to determine the relative importance of climatic and nonclimatic factors in regulating long-term chemical weathering rates.

These have been used in combination with the measured longitudinal impact stresses to determine the shear strength behind the shock. Results show that with an increase in impact stress, the shear strength in tantalum also increases. Analysis shows that during shock loading the lateral stress in tantalum increases behind the shock front. Since the longitudinal stress is nominally constant until arrival of the release, this implies that the shear strength is reducing behind the shock front. The shock-wave response of tantalum is discussed in the context of a previous weak-shock wave-profile analysis of tantalum, and in terms of the defect generation and storage response of pure face-centered- versus body-centered-cubic metals. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Resistance to high-energy radiation damage is an essential feature of such cells as they power most satellites, including those used for communications, defense, and scientific research. Recently we have shown that the energy gap of In[sub 1-x]Ga[sub x]N alloys potentially can be continuously varied from 0.7 to 3.4 eV, providing a full-solar-spectrum material system for multijunction solar cells. We find that the optical and electronic properties of these alloys exhibit a much higher resistance to high-energy (2 MeV) proton irradiation than the standard currently used photovoltaic materials such as GaAs and GaInP, and therefore offer great potential for radiation-hard high-efficiency solar cells for space applications. The observed insensitivity of the semiconductor characteristics to the radiation damage is explained by the location of the band edges relative to the average dangling bond defect energy represented by the Fermi level stabilization energy in In[sub 1-x]Ga[sub x]N alloys. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

T1 - Metal content of multicrystalline silicon for solar cells and its impact on minority carrier diffusion length. JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 94 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 6552 EP - 6559 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Instrumental neutron activation analysis was performed to determine the transition metal content in three types of silicon material for cost-efficient solar cells: Astropower silicon-film sheet material, Baysix cast material, and edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) multicrystalline silicon ribbon. The dominant metal impurities were found to be Fe (6×10[sup 14] cm[sup -3] to 1.5×10[sup 16] cm[sup -3], depending on the material), Ni (up to 1.8×10[sup 15] cm[sup -3]), Co (1.7×10[sup 12] cm[sup -3] to 9.7×10[sup 13] cm[sup -3]), Mo (6.4×10[sup 12] cm[sup -3] to 4.6×10[sup 13] cm[sup -3]), and Cr (1.7×10[sup 12] cm[sup -3] to 1.8×10[sup 15] cm[sup -3]). Copper was also detected (less than 2.4×10[sup 14] cm[sup -3]), but its concentration could not be accurately determined because of a very short decay time of the corresponding radioactive isotope. In all samples, the metal contamination level would be sufficient to degrade the minority carrier diffusion length to less than a micron, if all metals were in an interstitial or substitutional state. This is a much lower value than the actual measured diffusion length of these samples. Therefore, most likely, the metals either formed clusters or precipitates with relatively low recombination activity or are very inhomogeneously distributed within the samples. No significant difference was observed between the metal content of the high and low lifetime areas of each material. X-ray microprobe fluorescence spectrometry mapping of Astropower mc-Si samples confirmed that transition metals formed agglomerates both at grain boundaries and within the grains. It is concluded that the impact of metals on solar cell efficiency is determined not only by the total metal concentration, but also by the distribution of metals within the grains and the chemical composition of the clusters formed by the metals. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 94 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 6949 EP - 6958 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Measurement of weld pool temperature during laser spot welding is a difficult task because of the short pulse duration, often lasting only a few milliseconds, highly transient nature of the process, and the presence of a metal vapor plume near the weld pool. This article describes recent research to estimate weld pool temperatures experimentally and theoretically. Composition of the metal vapor from the weld pool was determined by condensing a portion of the vapor on the inner surface of an open ended quartz tube which was mounted perpendicular to the sample surface and coaxial with the laser beam. It was found that iron, chromium, and manganese were the main metallic species in the vapor phase. The concentrations of Fe and Cr in the vapor increased slightly while the concentration of Mn in the vapor decreased somewhat with the increase in power density. The vapor composition was used to determine an effective temperature of the weld pool. A transient, three-dimensional numerical heat transfer and fluid flow model based on the solution of the equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy was used to calculate the temperature and velocity fields in the weld pool as a function of time. The experimentally determined geometry of the spot welds agreed well with that determined from the computed temperature field. The effective temperature determined from the vapor composition was found to be close to the numerically computed peak temperature at the weld pool surface. Because of the short process duration and other serious problems in the direct measurement of temperature during laser spot welding, estimating approximate values of peak temperature from metal vapor composition is particularly valuable. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Unitary errors are systematic, and result in a density matrix that differs from the desired one by a unitary operation. Decoherent errors correspond to general completely positive superoperators, and can only be corrected using methods such as quantum error correction. Incoherent errors can also be described, on average, by completely positive superoperators, but can nevertheless be corrected by the application of a locally unitary operation that “refocuses” them. They are due to reproducible spatial or temporal variations in the system’s Hamiltonian, so that information on the variations is encoded in the system’s spatiotemporal state and can be used to correct them. In this paper liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance is used to demonstrate that such refocusing effects can be built directly into the control fields, where the incoherence arises from spatial inhomogeneities in the quantizing static magnetic field as well as the radio-frequency control fields themselves. Using perturbation theory, it is further shown that the eigenvalue spectrum of the completely positive superoperator exhibits a characteristic spread that contains information on the Hamiltonians’ underlying distribution. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

For simplicity, applications of these methods are restricted to two one-dimensional (1D) test cases: a Morse oscillator and a 1D slice of the HN[sub 2]→H+N[sub 2] potential energy surface. For these two test cases, we systematically examine the effect of parameters in the weight function (intrinsic to IMLS methods), the degree of the IMLS fit, and the number and placement of potential energy points. From this systematic study, we discover compact and accurate representations of potentials and their derivatives for first-degree and higher-degree (up to nine degree) IMLS fits. We show how the number of ab initio points needed to achieve a given accuracy declines with the degree of the IMLS. We outline automatic procedures for ab initio point selection that can optimize this decline. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Starting from the precursor cluster I[sub 2][sup -]·CH[sub 3]I, the interaction of the reactants I[sup -] and CH[sub 3]I is initiated by a pump pulse and the subsequent dynamics are observed with a delayed probe pulse used to detach the excess electron and measure their photoelectron spectra. Using two different pump photon energies, which lead to different amounts of internal energy available to the reaction complex, a number of dynamical features have been observed. For small internal excitation, the reactants only form stable, albeit vibrationally excited, I[sup -]·CH[sub 3]I complexes. However, with increased internal excitation, complexes are formed that exhibit biexponential decay back to I[sup -] and CH[sub 3]I reactants with time scales of 0.8 and 10 ps. Similar dynamics are expected for entrance channel complex formed in the first step of a gas phase S[sub N]2 reaction. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Photoselection isolates vibrational autoionization via the symmetric stretching vibration, ν[sub 1], and the bending vibration, ν[sub 2]. The previously characterized Fermi resonance between one quantum of ν[sub 1] and two quanta of ν[sub 2] [H. Matsui et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 175, 203 (1996)] allows the comparison of the vibrational autoionization matrix elements for these two modes. The squared matrix element for vibrational autoionization via the symmetric stretch is found to be approximately 35 times greater than that for the bend, which is also consistent with previous results. The results are discussed in terms of existing theoretical models for the autoionization process. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The velocity and vibrational distributions of the photofragment are dependent on the adsorbate coverage and surface termination. Two translational energy distributions are measured for the CH[sub 3] fragment at high coverage, i.e., 25 ML, with maxima at 1 and 1.9 eV. These maxima are within 0.5–0.7 eV of those obtained in direct dissociation of gas-phase CH[sub 3]I. At 1 ML one distribution is measured with its maxima at 0.3 eV. A modification of the surface with chemisorbed iodine reduces the yield of the CH[sub 3] at 1 ML but not at 25 ML. The dissociation dynamics observed at 1 ML is attributed to bond scission following electron attachment while that at 25 ML to direct photodissociation. At 3 ML coverage both the 1 and 25 ML components are observed. The measured fragment vibrational distribution at 1 ML has a 4 times lower v[sup ″]=1/v[sup ″]=0 ratio compared with that at 25 ML. Differences in the translational and vibrational distributions for the two dissociation mechanisms are attributed to the available energy and molecular geometry of photoexcited CH[sub 3]I. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

In contrast with Langmuir films on water, where roughly surface-normal molecular orientation is invariably found, alkanes on mercury are always oriented surface-parallel, and show no long-range in-plane order at any surface pressure. At a low coverage a two-dimensional gas phase is found, followed, upon increasing the coverage, by a single condensed layer (n≤18), a sequence of single and double layers (19≤n≤20; n>=26), or a sequence of single, double, and triple layers (22≤n≤24). The thermodynamical and structural properties of these layers, as determined from the measurements, are discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Applied within the context of our previously developed partition function for aqueous mixtures with nonpolar solutes, it is shown that entropy convergence is observed at a unique temperature when the thermal expansion coefficient of liquid water satisfies specific criterion. Hydrogen-bonding is essential and van der Waals-type fluids never display this phenomenon. Comparing these results to the discussion of Graziano who contends transient hydrogen-bond fluctuations in water dominate entropy convergence, we find that both van der Waals and hydrogen-bonding contributions are significant within the context of our model. In addition, it is pointed out that molecular-level conclusions drawn from a mean-field model should be made with caution. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Five subjects, 4 of whom were treated with PEG-IFN, achieved a sustained virological response, although it was delayed by >/=1 week in 3 subjects. The median treatment efficacy in blocking virion production was 99.7% in the PEG-IFN group and 60% with standard IFN. In 2 patients with detectable HIV loads before starting HCV study drugs, we observed a 1-log decrease in HIV RNA load. The estimated HCV virion half-life was longer in the HIV-coinfected subjects, which suggests that coinfection may contribute to a slower clearance of HCV. Although the early viral kinetics of coinfected subjects treated with PEG-IFN or IFN differ from those of singly infected subjects, the treatment response seems unaffected.

The maximum values of the isothermal magnetic entropy change decrease systematically but non-linearly with the increasing Si concentration (x), and the giant magnetocaloric effect is observed between 190 (x=1.5) and 300 K (x=2.1).

These steels were irradiated with 1 MeV protons to doses between 1 and 10 dpa at 300 °C both with or without 15 appm helium pre-implanted at ∼100 °C. They were also irradiated at 340 °C, but only after 15 appm helium pre-implantation. Small heterogeneously distributed voids were observed in both alloys irradiated at 300 °C, but only after helium pre-implantation. The pre-implanted steels irradiated at 340 °C exhibited homogenous void formation, suggesting effects of both helium and irradiation temperature on void nucleation. Voids developed sooner in the SA304 alloy than CW316 alloy at 300 and 340 °C, consistent with the behavior observed at higher temperatures (>370 °C) for similar steels irradiated in the EBR-II fast reactor. The development of the Frank loop microstructure was similar in both alloys, and was only marginally affected by pre-implanted helium. Loop densities were insensitive to dose and irradiation temperature, and were decreased by helium; loop sizes increased with dose up to about 5.5 dpa and were not affected by the pre-implanted helium. Comparison with microstructures produced by neutron irradiation suggests that this method of helium pre-implantation and proton irradiation emulates neutron irradiation under PWR conditions.

The ceramics were prepared by coprecipitation of Zr, Th and U salts. In this study, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) complement X-ray diffraction, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), techniques to reveal the phase structure and chemistry. The results from XRD and EDX show that these ceramics separate into a Zr-based phase and an actinide-based phase with low mutual affinity of Th and Zr, as well as partial solubility of U in Zr. The comparison of EELS spectra collected for the ceramics with spectra collected for UO2 and U3O8 reference materials also allow us to assess U oxidation state independently in the two separate phases.

A waste stream from this process consists primarily of stainless steel cladding hulls containing undissolved metal fission products and a low concentration of actinide elements. This waste will be immobilized in a metallic waste form whose baseline composition is stainless steel alloyed with 15 wt% Zr (SS–15Zr). This paper presents transmission electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron diffraction observations of SS–15Zr alloys containing 2–11 wt% U, Np, or Pu. The major U- and Pu-bearing materials are Cr–Fe–Ni–Zr intermetallics with structures similar to that of the C15 polymorph of Fe2Zr, significant variability in chemical compositions, and 0–20 at.% actinides. A U-bearing material similar to the C36 polymorph of Fe2Zr had more restricted chemical variability and 0–5 at.% U. Uranium concentrations between 0 and 5 at.% were observed in materials with the Fe23Zr6 structure.

This approach involves the incorporation and optimization of multiple pivot points for each fragment. Illustrative applications to a variety of barrierless reactions with multiple addition channels are presented. For the addition of H atoms to propargyl radical a high level ab initio potential is employed and comparisons are made with trajectory simulations and with prior implementations of VRC-TST. The multifaceted VRC-TST results agree with the trajectory results to within 5-10% as do prior approximate multifaceted VRC-TST results, obtained via the neglect of the flux through certain connecting surfaces. In contrast, results based on the sums of properly variational single faced results differ significantly, being ~15-20% greater. Notably, the optimal multifaceted transition state dividing surfaces are again in qualitative accord with contours of the radical molecular orbital. Applications to the CH3 + CH3 and C2H3 + O2 reactions further illustrate the dependence of the results on the use of multiple pivot points, while also illustrating the implementation of directly determined density functional interaction energies. Interestingly, these a priori results are in reasonable agreement with experiment for both these reactions.

Most of the existing all-atom force fields used to model proteins fail to reproduce the relative population of the most relevant conformations of peptides. The calculated relative population of conformations varies significantly depending on the force field chosen, thus urging the need to check the validity and consistency of force fields over a range of peptide lengths. Here, we show how the applicability of a modified version of AMBER force field (A94/MOD) can extend from short to large peptides. It is also capable of reproducing the expected shift in conformational preference with increasing peptide length and temperature. Importantly, the consistency of the force field is judged by direct comparison to experiments rather than to the relative energies of conformations obtained from ab initio calculations. Importantly, this study illustrates that many aspects of protein force fields are already well refined and may only require minor refinements to accurately reproduce experimental observations over a range of systems.

Stable solutions of oriented complexes were prepared using aromatic (ZLI 1132) and aliphatic (ZLI 1695) thermotropic nematic liquid crystals as solvents; ordering of the complexes was manifested by the 1H-13C dipolar splitting of the 13C resonance of labeled chloroform. In both solutions, the dipolar splitting for the bound ligands was substantially larger than that obtained for the free ligands, indicating a significant increase in ligand ordering upon complexation despite the absence of direct contact with the oriented solvent molecules. A similar enhancement in ordering was observed for complexed ligands compared to that for free ligands in both liquid-crystalline solvents. Also, the application of heteronuclear decoupling to the ZLI 1695 solution resulted in a reduced line width for the bound 13C chloroform resonance, suggesting that a significant component of the observed line broadening may originate from intermolecular couplings between host and guest molecules. These results demonstrate the potential for using restored dipolar couplings to investigate structural and dynamical aspects of inclusion complexes in solution.

The direct observation of the ligand-field potential (10Dq) allows the determination of their dependence on the interatomic distances between Br and the first near neighbor in crystalline LiBr, NaBr, KBr, and KBrO3 and the effect of hydration in the corresponding aqueous solutions. DV-Xα molecular-orbital calculations show that for both crystalline and aqueous solutions of KBr, the transitions occur from Br 2p to the unoccupied states containing mainly 4d orbitals of Br. The 5s and 5p orbitals of Br and 3d orbitals of K also contribute to the unoccupied states in addition to the 4d orbitals of neighbor Br due to the orbital mixing in crystalline KBr.

For ammonia, the HITRAN 2000 database contains some 29 084 ammonia lines, more than double the number of lines in HITRAN 1996. Specifically, the 2000 update involved replacing pure-rotational and infrared transitions from 0 to 3700 cm−1 with new calculations for the 14NH3 isotopomer, whereas in the 4000 to 5300 cm−1 region, parameters from the 1996 database were retained. The rotational quantum number range for line positions, intensities and line broadening parameters updated in this new HITRAN version goes up to J=22, 15, 13 and 10 in the 8–1000 μm, 5 μm, 4 μm and 2.8–3.3 μm spectral regions respectively. For phosphine, a new database from 770 to 2156 cm−1 available for future updates is described and contrasted with parameters in HITRAN 2000.

Room temperature measurements were made of positions, absolute intensities, self-broadening and self-shift coefficients for individual lines belonging to the HCN ν1 band centered near 3311 cm−1. These are to our knowledge the first extensive set of self-broadening and self shift measurements in the band. In addition, intensities, self-broadening and self-shift coefficients for several lines of the ν1+ν21−ν21 hot band and several intensities for lines in the H13C14N and H12C15N isotopomers were also determined. A multispectrum nonlinear least-squares fitting algorithm was used to fit the entire spectral region covering the 3200–3400 cm−1 region of up to 27 spectra simultaneously. The measured line intensities in the ν1 band were further analyzed to derive the vibrational band intensity and the Herman–Wallis coefficients. Differences in line intensities between 5 and 10% are found with respect to present measurements and the values given in the HITRAN database for m values beyond 25 in the P branch and 5 in the R branch.

Air- and N2-broadening, shifts and their temperature dependences JO - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer JF - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 82 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 343 SN - 00224073 AB - Air- and N2-broadening, air- and N2-pressure-induced shift coefficients and the temperature dependence exponent of the broadening coefficients and the temperature dependent coefficient of pressure-induced shifts have been determined for transitions of the ν1 band of H12C14N from 39 laboratory absorption spectra recorded at 0.005 and 0.008 cm−1 resolutions with two different Fourier transform spectrometers. The parameters were retrieved from the multispectrum nonlinear least-squares fits to the 3200–3400 cm−1 region of spectra recorded at temperatures between +26°C and −60°C. Pure samples of HCN in a 19.95 cell and a 0.958 cm cell at room temperature as well as lean mixtures of HCN in N2 or dry air in a coolable cell with a 50 cm absorption path were used in the experiments. Line parameters for N2 broadening were determined by fitting 27 spectra simultaneously while air-broadening parameters were quantified from simultaneous fits to 22 spectra. The average ratio and the standard deviation of the room-temperature air- to N2-broadening coefficient of lines with assignments between P(29) and R(28) are 0.904±0.001. Pressure-induced shift coefficients at 296 K are all negative with values between 0 and ∼−0.006 cm−1 atm−1 and different rotational dependences in the P- and R-branches. Differences between our results, previous measurements and the parameters that are reported in the 2000 edition of HITRAN (HIgh-resolution TRANsmission) database are quantified and discussed.

The spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.112 cm−1 using a commercial Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and a 20 cm temperature-controlled sample cell. Samples of SF5CF3 were pressurized with high-purity nitrogen to a total pressure of 1013.3 hPa (760 Torr). Six or more spectra with varying SF5CF3 column amounts were analyzed at each temperature. The full spectral range of the measurements was 520–6500 cm−1, with only weak bands observed beyond 1400 cm−1. Absorption of thermal radiation in the 8–12 μm atmospheric window region being important for climate change, we report here the integrated cross-sections of the significant absorption bands in that spectral region. Our results closely match room temperature values reported previously. Only small variation of the integrated absorption cross-sections with temperature was found. Our results confirm the accuracy of the previous measurements, which find SF5CF3 important for global climate change on a per molecule basis. Absorption cross-sections derived from a single, near Doppler-limited spectrum recorded at room temperature do not show any rotational fine structure in the 700–950 cm−1 region.

Recently, we have expanded this chemistry through use of hydrothermal synthesis. The current publication illustrates how use of heteroatoms is another means of diversifying polyoxoniobate chemistry. Here we report the synthesis of Na8[Nb8Ti2O28]·34H2O [1¯] and its structural characterization from single-crystal X-ray data. This salt crystallizes in the P-1 space group (a=11.829(4) A˚, b=12.205(4) A˚, c=12.532(4) A˚, α=97.666(5)°, β=113.840(4)°, γ=110.809(4)°), and the decameric anionic cluster [Nb8Ti2O28]8− has the same cluster geometry as the previously reported [Nb10O28]6− and [V10O28]6−. Molecular modeling studies of [Nb10O28]6− and all possible isomers of [Nb8Ti2O28]8− suggest that this cluster geometry is stabilized by incorporating the Ti4+ into cluster positions in which edge-sharing is maximized. In this manner, the overall repulsion between edge-sharing octahedra within the cluster is minimized, as Ti4+ is both slightly smaller and of lower charge than Nb5+. Synthetic studies also show that while the [Nb10O28]6− cluster is difficult to obtain, the [Nb8Ti2O28]8− cluster can be synthesized reproducibly and is stable in neutral to basic solutions, as well.

The unique structure has an oligomer of four germanate tetrahedra, cross-linked laterally by square-planar copper ions, joined end-to-end by a zigzag chain of edge-sharing iron oxide octahedra. Running along the a-direction the metal oxide chain consists of alternating Cu–Cu and Fe–Fe dimers. A hypothetical series of homologous structures (Cun−2Fe2GenO3n+1 with n=3,4,…,∞) with different length germanate oligomers is proposed, where as n increases, the infinite chain of the CuGeO3 is approached. In this context, Cu2Fe2Ge4O13 is viewed as being built from blocks of CuGeO3 and the Fe oxide chains. This material has significance to the study of low-dimensional mixed-spin systems.

The quasispecies structure is characteristic of complex adaptive systems and contributes to the high rate of evolution in lentiviruses that confounds efforts to develop effective vaccines and antiviral therapies. Here, we describe analyses of genetic data from longitudinal studies of genetic variation in a lentivirus regulatory protein, Rev, over the course of disease in ponies experimentally infected with equine infectious anemia virus. As observed with other lentivirus data, the Rev variants exhibited a quasispecies character. Phylogenetic and partition analyses suggested that the Rev quasispecies comprised two distinct subpopulations that coexisted during infection. One subpopulation appeared to accumulate changes in a linear, time-dependent manner, while the other evolved radially from a common variant. Over time, the two subpopulations cycled in predominance coincident with changes in the disease state, suggesting that the two groups differed in selective advantage. Transient expression assays indicated the two populations differed significantly in Rev nuclear export activity. Chimeric proviral clones containing Rev genotypes representative of each population differed in rate and overall level of virus replication in vitro. The coexistence of genetically distinct viral subpopulations that differ in phenotype provides great adaptability to environmental changes within the infected host. A quasispecies model with multiple subpopulations may provide additional insight into the nature of lentivirus reservoirs and the evolution of antigenic and drug-resistant variants.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 77 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 12165 EP - 12172 SN - 0022538X AB - Although intermittent episodes of low-level viremia are often observed in well-suppressed highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-treated patients, the timing and amplitude of viral blips have never been examined in detail. We analyze here the dynamics of viral blips, i.e., plasma VL measurements of >50 copies/ml, in 123 HAART-treated patients monitored for a mean of 2.6 years (range, 5 months to 5.3 years). The mean (± the standard deviation) blip frequency was 0.09 ± 0.11/sample, with about one-third of patients showing no viral blips. The mean viral blip amplitude was 158 ± 132 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA copies/ml. Analysis of the blip frequency and amplitude distributions suggest that two blips less than 22 days apart have a significant chance of being part of the same episode of viremia. The data are consistent with a hypothetical model in which each episode of viremia consists of a phase of VL rise, followed by two-phase exponential decay. Thus, the term "viral blip" may be a misnomer, since viral replication appears to be occurring over an extended period. Neither the frequency nor the amplitude of viral blips increases with longer periods of observation, but the frequency is inversely correlated with the CD4[sup +]-T-cell count at the start of therapy, suggesting that host-specific factors but not treatment fatigue are determinants of blip frequency.

T1 - Structure and Function of CC-Chemokine Receptor 5 Homologues Derived from Representative Primate Species and Subspecies of the Taxonomic Suborders Prosimii and Anthropoidea. JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 77 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 12310 EP - 12318 SN - 0022538X AB - A chemokine receptor from the seven-transmembrane-domain G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily is an essential coreceptor for the cellular entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) strains. To investigate nonhuman primate CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) homologue structure and function, we amplified CCR5 DNA sequences from peripheral blood cells obtained from 24 representative species and subspecies of the primate suborders Prosimii (family Lemuridae) and Anthropoidea (families Cebidae, Callitrichidae, Cercopithecidae, Hylobatidae, and Pongidae) by PCR with primers flanking the coding region of the gene. Full-length CCR5 was inserted into pCDNA3.1, and multiple clones were sequenced to permit discrimination of both alleles. Compared to the human CCR5 sequence, the CCR5 sequences of the Lemuridae, Cebidae, and Cercopithecidae shared 87, 91 to 92, and 96 to 99% amino acid sequence homology, respectively. Amino acid substitutions tended to cluster in the amino and carboxy termini, the first transmembrane domain, and the second extracellular loop, with a pattern of species-specific changes that characterized CCR5 homologues from primates within a given family. At variance with humans, all primate species examined from the suborder Anthropoidea had amino acid substitutions at positions 13 (N to D) and 129 (V to I); the former change is critical for CD4-independent binding of SIV to CCR5. Within the Cebidae, Cercopithecidae, and Pongidae (including humans), CCR5 nucleotide similarities were 95.2 to 97.4, 98.0 to 99.5, and 98.3 to 99.3%, respectively. Despite this low genetic diversity, the phylogeny of the selected primate CCR5 homologue sequences agrees with present primate systematics, apart from some intermingling of species of the Cebidae and Cercopithecidae. Constructed HOS.CD4 cell lines expressing the entire CCR5 homologue protein from each of the Anthropoidea species and subspecies were tested for their ability to support HIV-1 and SIV entry and membrane fusion. Other than that of Cercopithecus pygerythrus, all CCR5 homologues tested were able to support both SIV and HIV-1 entry. Our results suggest that the shared structure and function of primate CCR5 homologue proteins would not impede the movement of primate immunodeficiency viruses between species.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2003/11/15/ VL - 77 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 12336 EP - 12345 SN - 0022538X AB - The genetic evolution of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in the brain is distinct from that in lymphoid tissues, indicating tissue-specific compartmentalization of the virus. Few primary HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Envs) from uncultured brain tissues have been biologically well characterized. In this study, we analyzed 37 full-length env genes from uncultured brain biopsy and blood samples from four patients with AIDS. Phylogenetic analysis of intrapatient sequence sets showed distinct clustering of brain relative to blood env sequences. However, no brain-specific signature sequence was identified. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the number or positions of N-linked glycosylation sites between brain and blood env sequences. The patterns of coreceptor usage were heterogeneous, with no clear distinction between brain and blood env clones. Nine Envs used CCR5 as a coreceptor, one used CXCR4, and two used both CCR5 and CXCR4 in cell-to-cell fusion assays. Eight Envs could also use CCR3, CCR8, GPR15, STRL33, Apj, and/or GPR1, but these coreceptors did not play a major role in virus entry into microglia. Recognition of epitopes by the 2F5, T30, AG10H9, F105, 17b, and C11 monoclonal antibodies varied among env clones, reflecting genetic and conformational heterogeneity. Envs from two patients contained 28 to 32 N-glycosylation sites in gp120, compared to around 25 in lab strains and well-characterized primary isolates. These results suggest that HIV-1 Envs in brain cannot be distinguished from those in blood on the basis of coreceptor usage or the number or positions of N-glycosylation sites, indicating that other properties underlie neurotropism. The study also demonstrates characteristics of primary HIV-1 Envs from uncultured tissues and implies that Env variants that are glycosylated more extensively than lab strains and well-characterized primary isolates should be considered during development of vaccines and neutralizing antibodies.

Specimens of Porites lobata were collected from two locations, i.e. the Riau Archipelago, south of Singapore, where the haze was most dense, and the Karimunjawa Islands, north of Central Java, where the effects were less severe. All corals exhibited strong Kinetic Isotope Effects (KIE). On plots of δ18O vs. δ13C, shifts in coral metabolism associated with the haze event could be estimated from the distance individual values are positioned from the theoretical KIE line. Skeletons of corals affected by the haze showed decreased δ13C values, perhaps produced by a shift to a more heterotrophic mode of feeding. These results suggest that wildfires and major forest fire events on tropical coastlines may be recorded in nearby corals, as could temporal variation in frequency of major fires. Moreover, information on coral metabolism may be determined by examining shifts of coral skeletal values in C–O space.

Novolac epoxy filled with Al–Cu–Fe quasicrystalline powder are evaluated by pin-on-disk testing using a 52100 steel counterface. Epoxy samples filled with aluminum, copper, iron, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide are tested for comparison. The use of Al–Cu–Fe QC powder, as a filler in epoxy, maximizes the composite wear resistance while minimizing abrasion of the 52100 steel counterface. Wear mechanisms of the Al–Cu–Fe composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The fabrication and wear properties of these unique materials will be described.

Thin-sheet specimens with equal-sized holes aligned in the tensile loading direction are used. The tensile tests were performed at room temperature with a nominal strain rate of 0.001 s−1. The specimen, containing one hole, showed a significant reduction in ductility compared to the control (no-hole) specimen. With an increasing number of holes, however, the overall strain-to-failure increases and fracture tend to follow shear bands generated locally from the hole edges. Finite element analyses, taking into account the viscoplastic response, were carried out to provide a mechanistic rationale to corroborate the experimental findings. The dispersion of plastic deformation and the effect of hole interaction are both found to contribute to the observed behavior. The local maximum equivalent plastic strain decreases with increasing number of holes, resulting in more delayed fracture. Plastic deformation becomes more intense inside the shear band when the holes are spaced more closely, which explains the increasing propensity of fracture along the shear bands in specimens containing more pre-machined holes.

The heat capacity data deviate from predictions for both weak- and strong-coupling superconductivity, but are described relatively well in a medium-coupling analysis. The precise t3-dependence of the electronic heat capacity Ces indicates the gap anisotropy with the presence of point nodes for YNi2B2C single crystal.

The electrodes were fabricated by colloidal spray deposition of Cr2O3 powder, followed by sintering at 1000–1200 °C. The effects of sintering temperature on the electrode thickness and microstructure are discussed. The observed dependence of the NO sensitivity, in the temperature range of 500–600 °C, on both the electrode thickness and microstructure indicates competing mechanisms are involved in the sensor response. The reaction of NO and O2 to form NO2 at the electrode surface was explored using a chemiluminescent NOx analyzer. The data indicate that sintering temperature also affects the catalytic activity of the Cr2O3.

The solution methods developed here build on existing models by considering adsorbed oxygenated species in the interaction between atomic hydrogen at the metal-semiconductor interface and the external surface. The net effect of the adsorbed oxygenated species is to increase the amount of interfacial hydrogen predicted to exist within the structure at equilibrium. These theoretical predictions are compared to computed results from a previously existing model; furthermore, both mechanistic models are analyzed in light of new and previously published experimental response trends for MIS devices. Although the two models considered in this work are each found to be useful in understanding some aspects of the response, elementary reaction mechanisms appear to be inadequate for prediction of response curves. The results of these comparisons suggest that the kinetics for operation of MIS sensors in hydrogen–oxygen mixtures are quite complex, and may be strongly morphology-dependent.

Introducing Be acceptors into the Ga[sub 1-y]Al[sub y]As barriers leads to an increase of the Curie temperature T[sub C] of Ga[sub 1-x]Mn[sub x]As, from 70 K in undoped structures to over 100 K with the modulation doping. This increase is qualitatively consistent with a multiband mean field theory simulation of carrier-mediated ferromagnetism. An important feature is that the increase of T[sub C] occurs only in those structures where the modulation doping is introduced after the deposition of the magnetic layer, but not when the Be-doped layer is grown first. This behavior is expected from the strong sensitivity of Mn interstitial formation to the value of the Fermi energy during growth. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Expectations have been that the strain tolerance of these composites would be limited by the relatively low yield strains of the deformation-textured substrates, typically less than 0.2%. However, results show that the irreversible degradation of J[sub c]([variant_greek_epsilon]) occurs at a strain equal to about twice the yield strain of the substrate. Therefore, YBCO/Ni-alloy composites may satisfy axial-strain performance requirements for electric devices, including the most demanding applications, motors and generators in which a strain tolerance exceeding 0.25% is needed. Furthermore, the YBCO/Ni–5-at. %-W conductors showed a reversible strain effect, which may be induced by a reversible strain-field broadening around mismatch dislocations at the grain boundaries. This effect may contribute to the unexpectedly large usable strain range of these conductors. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

To facilitate the unambiguous identification of crosslinked peptides from proteolytic digestion mixtures of crosslinked proteins by MS, we introduced double 18O isotopic labels into the crosslinking reagent to provide the crosslinked peptides with a characteristic isotope pattern. The presence of doublets separated by 4 Da in the mass spectra of these materials allowed ready discrimination between crosslinked and modified peptides, and uncrosslinked peptides using automated intelligent data acquisition (IDA) of MS/MS data. This should allow ready automation of the method for application to whole expressible proteomes.

Rev. C 67 (2003) 054903]. While our results for the non-perturbative number liberation coefficient agree, those for the energy disagree by a factor of 2. This discrepancy can be traced to an overall normalization error in our non-perturbative formula for the energy. When corrected for, all previous results are in excellent agreement with those of Lappi. The implications of the results of these two independent computations for RHIC phenomenology are noted.

This happens due to elimination of the entanglement between the Kondo center and the conduction electrons, and differs essentially from smearing of the resonance by dissipation. Considering decoherence by a spin bath, we predict that the Kondo effect disappears when the Kondo temperature becomes smaller than the coupling with a bath. Suppression of the Kondo effect can be detected in experiments on “quantum corrals” or quantum dots doped by impurities with internal degrees of freedom.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/11/18/ VL - 42 IS - 45 M3 - Article SP - 13134 EP - 13144 SN - 00062960 AB - The pyridyloxobutylating agents derived from metabolically activated tobacco-specific nitrosamines can covalently modify guanine bases in DNA at the O[SUP6] position. The adduct formed, O[SUP6][4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)butyl]guanine ([POB]dG), results in mutations that can lead to tumor formation, posing a significant cancer risk to humans exposed to tobacco smoke. A combined NMR-molecular mechanics computational approach was used to determine the solution structure of the [POB]dG adduct within an 1 lmer duplex sequence d(CCATAT-[POB]G-GCCC)· d(GGGCCATATGG). In agreement with the NMR results, the POB ligand is located in the major groove, centered between the flanking 5'-side dT. dA and the 3'-side dG·dC base pairs and thus in the plane of the modified [POB]dG-dC base pair, which is displaced slightly into the minor groove. The modified base pair in the structure adopts wobble base pairing (hydrogen bonds between [POB]dG(N1) and dC(NH4) amino proton and between [POB]dG(NH2) amino proton and dC(N3)). A hydrogen bond appears to occur between the POB carbonyl oxygen and the partner dC's second amino proton. The modified guanine purine base, partner cytosine pyrimidine base, and POB pyridyl ring form a triplex via this unusual hydrogen-bonding pattern. The phosphodiester backbone twists at the lesion site, accounting for the unusual phosphorus chemical shift differences relative to those for the control DNA duplex. The helical distortions and wobble base pairing induced by the covalent binding of POB to the O[SUP6]-position of dG help explain the significant decrease of 17.6 °C in melting temperature of the modified duplex relative to the unmodified control.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/11/18/ VL - 42 IS - 45 M3 - Article SP - 13145 EP - 13151 SN - 00062960 AB - Methemoglobinemia, the first hereditary disease to be identified that involved an enzyme deficiency, has been ascribed to mutations in the enzyme cytochrome b[SUB5] reductase. A variety of defects in either the erythrocytic or microsomal forms of the enzyme have been identified that give rise to the type I or type II variant of the disease, respectively. The positions of the methemoglobinemia-causing mutations are scattered throughout the protein sequence, but the majority of the non truncated mutants that produce type II symptoms occur close to the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor binding site. While X-ray structures have been determined for the soluble, flavin-containing diaphorase domains of the rat and pig enzymes, no X-ray or NMR structure has been described for the human enzyme or any of the methemoglobinemia variants. S 127P, a mutant that causes type II methemoglobinemia, was the first to be positively identified and have its spectroscopic and kinetic properties characterized that revealed altered nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH) substrate binding behavior. To understand these changes at a structural level, we have determined the structure of the S127P mutant of rat cytochrome b5 reductase to 1.8 Å resolution, providing the first structural snapshot of a cytochrome b[SUB5] reductase mutant that causes methemoglobinemia. The high-resolution structure revealed that the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) moiety of the FAD prosthetic group is displaced into the corresponding ADP binding site of the physiological substrate, NADH, thus acting as a substrate inhibitor which is consistent with both the spectroscopic and kinetic data.

A surfactant-silica sol is dispersed in the gas phase in the form of small droplets and delivered to the surface of the planar support by a N2 carrier stream. Coalescence of deposited sol droplets combined with solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly of liquid crystalline mesophases results in the formation of continuous, mesostructured silica-surfactant layers covering the surface of the support. These mesostructured silica membranes are impermeable right after synthesis and exhibit N2 permeance in the range 10−7–10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1 after surfactant removal. SEM studies revealed the presence of relatively smooth layers of thickness ∼1 μm on the surface of the ceramic supports while SAXS and TEM investigations revealed that these membranes possess cubic-ordered mesopores of size ∼20 A˚, without preferential orientation with respect to the substrate. Such membranes may find application in ultrafiltration separation processes, since surfactant-templating can be used for accurate control of the pore size/distribution in the proper range for a desired separation.

The nature of electronic communication and delocalization in molecular mixed-valence species, particularly with respect to the Creutz-Taube ion, [(NH[sub3])[sub5]Ru][sub2](pz)[sup5+], where pz is for pyrazine, has been a subject of much study. Persuasive electroabsorption and resonance Raman experiments involving the near-infrared intervalence (IT) electronic absorption band were conducted. It was concluded that pyrazine is a delocalized, avenged-valence species best described by a three-site vibronic coupling model that explicitly includes an electronic state and vibrations of the bridging ligand. The study demonstrated that Raman spectra can be obtained as a function of tunable electronic coupling.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2003/11/19/ VL - 125 IS - 46 M3 - Article SP - 14072 EP - 14081 SN - 00027863 AB - The cubane [4Fe-4S] is the most common multinuclear metal center in nature for electron transfer and storage. Using electrospray, we produced a series of gaseous doubly charged cubane-type complexes, [Fe[SUB4]S[SUB4]L[SUB4]][SUP2-](L = -SC[SUB2]H[SUB5], -SH, -Cl, -Br, -I) and the Se-analogues [Fe[SUB4]S[SUB4]L[SUB4]][SUP2-](L = -SC[SUB2]H5[SUB,] -Cl), and probed their electronic structures with photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional calculations. The photoelectron spectral features are similar among all the seven species investigated, revealing a weak threshold feature due to the minority spins on the Fe centers and confirming the low-spin two-layer model for the [4Fe-4S][SUB2+] core and its "inverted level scheme". The measured adiabatic detachment energies, which are sensitive to the terminal ligand substitution, provide the intrinsic oxidation potentials of the [Fe[SUB4]S[SUB4]L[SUB4]][SUP2-] complexes. The calculations revealed a simple correlation between the electron donor property of the terminal etiolate as well as the bridging sulfide with the variation of the intrinsic redo potentials. Our data provide intrinsic electronic structure information of the [4Fe-4S] cluster and the molecular basis for understanding the protein and solvent effects on the redo properties of the [4Fe-4S] active sites.

The alumina support was loaded with molybdenum and cobalt ions via incipient wetness impregnation methods and then converted to the active sulfide form by reaction with H2S. HDS reactions of DBT were carried out at 400 °C and 400 psi to achieve a DBT conversion of 69–77% and a biphenyl (BP) product selectivity of 60–64% after a reaction time of 3 h, indicating that most of the DBT could undergo desulfurization while limiting excessive hydrogen consumption through aromatic hydrogenation. Although the dispersion of the active Mo/Co sulfide phase supported on lathlike MSU-γ alumina remained very high after several hours on stream, the conversions most likely were limited by a loss of surface area and porosity under HDS conditions.

The mechanism behind this structural conversion is unclear. We report the identification of disease-related protein structural differences directly within the tissue environment. Utilizing a synchrotron infrared (IR) light source, IR images of protein structure were obtained at a subcellular resolution, revealing regions of decreased α-helical content and elevated β-sheet structure in and around infected neurons in the 263 K scrapie hamster model. PrPSc immunostaining of the same tissue demonstrated that the elevated β-sheet regions correspond to regions where the misfolded structure of PrPSc is located. No evidence of these structural changes was observed in normal neurons.

The derivation of the sensitivity equations is given, along with a description of the method for solving them in tandem with the simulation. The parameter values express material opacity as a power-law of material temperature and density. The computed sensitivities reveal important qualitative details about the temperature coupling and diffusion processes. It is also shown that these sensitivities are valuable for ranking the parameters from most to least influential, designing improved experiments, and quantifying uncertainty in the simulation results. Lastly, the numerical examples show that these various types of sensitivity analysis are only moderately expensive to perform relative to solving the simulation by itself.

This leads to the unification of the Standard Model gauge couplings and the third family Yukawa couplings at the GUT scale. In this Letter, we make a detailed study of this unification using the current experimental data, and find a good agreement in a significant region of the parameter space. Similar relations, required in finite grand unification models, are also studied.

Sulfur forms strong bonds with all the surfaces and favors hollow sites in every case. The binding energies on the pure metals show considerable variation and follow the trend: Ebind(Pd(1 1 1))>Ebind(Cu(1 1 1))>Ebind(Ag(1 1 1)). On the alloy surfaces, the adsorption energies in general are weaker in comparison to adsorption on the Pd(1 1 1) surface but the reduction in binding is not large. The strong interaction of sulfur with these surfaces arises from rehybridization of the p-states of the adsorbate with the substrate sp- and d-bands. We confirm that there is nearly a linear correlation between the binding energies of S on similar adsorption sites and the d-band center of surface atoms whose structure remain close to their bulk-truncated position.

Three types of collinear spin orderings were considered: ferromagnetic, with spins aligned in the (001) direction; and two antiferromagnetic (001)-layer structures, with spins aligned either perpendicular to each plane (001) or parallel to each plane (100). For each ordering, the total energy and spin moment were calculated with and without spin-orbit coupling included. In both cases, the ground state is predicted to be antiferromagnetic. Adding spin-orbit coupling acts to stabilize the (001) orientation relative to the (100) orientation. At zero pressure, the antiferromagnetic (001) state is bound relative to the nonmagnetic state by roughly 40 mRy per atom. The zero-pressure lattice constant obtained here for the antiferromagnetic (001) state (8.69 bohr) is in substantially better agreement with the measured lattice constant (8.80 bohr) than is the nonmagnetic lattice constant (8.12 bohr). © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The parameters of the tight-binding model are directly calculated from ab initio quantum chemistry calculations for a molecular tunneling device. A Green's function approach based on the Caroli formula is used to calculate the transport properties. Our approach is unique in that it readily separates contributions to the total tunneling current from individual Bloch eigenstates (transverse electronic modes or channels) of the electrodes, thus providing a powerful tool in understanding how tunneling is affected by the electronic structure of the electrodes and molecule. The tight-binding model also allows us to show that the placement of the Fermi energy in the electrodes can change the tunneling conductance by orders of magnitude. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The interpretation of the STM images of carbon nanostructures involves complications that are normally absent in the study of planar crystalline surfaces. The complications typically appear from a number of quantum effects responsible for distortions in the microscope image of a nano-object. Because of these difficulties, computer simulation plays an extremely important role in the analysis of experimental data. In the current article, we report on two theoretical approaches developed for aiding in the interpretation and understanding of the formation of the STM image of a nanotube: first, the quantum mechanical dynamics of a wave packet, which allows for the modeling of the flow of the tunneling current between a tip and a nanotube supported by a substrate; and, second, a tight-binding perturbation theory that allows for the explicit calculation of realistic STM images and scanning tunneling spectra of carbon nanostructures. An atlas of computed STM images is provided for a series of 27 single-wall nanotubes with diameter around 1.3 nm. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A comparison of these diagnostics with observational data for solar active regions and flares, obtained with the Naval Research Laboratory's S082A spectrograph on board Skylab, reveals that the electron densities determined from are in good agreement with those estimated from line ratios in Fe xiv or Fe xv, which are formed at similar electron temperatures to Ar xiv. However, there are large discrepancies between densities inferred from the ratio and those from Fe xiv or Fe xv, confirming that the Ar xiv 243.78- and 257.40- Å lines are badly blended with Fe xv 243.79 Å and Fe xiv 257.38 Å, respectively. Hence, cannot be employed as a density diagnostic, in contrast to , which does provide reliable estimates.

The detector processing and oxygen enrichment were carried out in a common project by the Institute of Micro-sensors CiS using n-type high-resistivity FZ silicon (3–6 kΩ cm) with 〈1 1 1〉 and 〈1 0 0〉 orientation. Different oxygen concentrations were achieved by diffusion at 1150°C for 24, 48 and 72 h. This report on bulk damage effects is focussed on the observed changes in the reverse current, the effective space charge density Neff extracted from C/V measurements and investigations using the transient current technique. A substantial improvement of radiation hardness concerning the development of the macroscopic properties was found for detectors manufactured on oxygenated material compared to standard material. It will be demonstrated that the change of the effective space charge density as well as the increase of the reverse current can be attributed to the creation of two deep acceptor levels and a shallow donor level.

The detectors are processed by different manufactures: Silicon Detector Development and Processing Lab (SDDPL) of BNL (USA), CIS (Germany) and Micron Semiconductor (UK). Oxygenation was performed either by using High Temperature, Long Time (HTLT) oxidation in oxygen-based ambient, or by short-time high-temperature oxidation in O2 followed by a long-time drive-in diffusion in N2. It has been shown that radiation hardness improvement in oxygenated detectors irradiated by γ-rays actually extends now up to ultra-high dose of 1.76 Grad. Effects of space charge sign inversion (SCSI) and linear build-up of negative space charge with γ-ray dose have been observed in standard Si detectors, similar to the case of neutron/proton irradiation. In contrast to standard Si in detectors, it has been revealed that in oxygenated Si detectors, positive space charge is accumulated with increasing dose up to 1.76 Grad with no SCSI (“positive space charge detectors”), which is unique for γ-irradiation. The advantage for using oxygenated Si detectors, as compared to standard Si detectors in practical applications in the ultra-high dose range of 1–1.76 Grad, has been demonstrated in terms of the profit in the reduction of full depletion voltage by a factor of 3–4, and in the reduction of leakage current by a factor of 3.2–5. In the pulse operational mode, however, polarization effect has been observed for oxygenated detectors irradiated to this ultra-high dose range of 1–1.76 Grad at room temperature, indicating the upper dose limit for a “damageless” oxygenated Si detector is about 1 Grad. The fact that this polarization occurs at RT is a paradox, since for other types of radiations it occurs only at cryogenic temperatures.

The experimental results show that the Lazarus effect is observed: (a) after all types of irradiation; (b) before and after space charge sign inversion; (c) only in detectors that are biased at voltages resulting in partial depletion at room temperature. The experimental temperature dependence of the CCE for proton-irradiated detectors shows non-monotonic behaviour with a maximum at a temperature defined as the CCE recovery temperature. The model of the effect for proton-irradiated detectors agrees well with that developed earlier for detectors irradiated by neutrons. The same midgap acceptor-type and donor-type levels are responsible for the Lazarus effect in detectors irradiated by neutrons and by protons. A new, abnormal “zigzag”-shaped temperature dependence of the CCE was observed for detectors irradiated by all particles (neutrons, protons and pions) and by an ultra-high dose of γ-rays, when operating at low bias voltages. This effect is explained in the framework of the double-peak electric field distribution model for heavily irradiated detectors. The redistribution of the space charge region depth between the depleted regions adjacent to p+ and n+ contacts is responsible for the “zigzag”- shaped curves. It is shown that the CCE recovery temperature increases with reverse bias in all detectors, regardless of the type of radiation.

Two types of thermal luminescent dosimeters are used for these measurements. Data collected from exposures with different accelerator conditions allow us to separate the radiation fields into contributions from proton beam losses and from proton–antiproton collisions. Using a simple model of a power law in 1/r, where r is the distance from the beam axis, we find the power depends on the distance from the interaction point along the beam axis with the range 1.5–2.0. Predictions based on this model show good qualitative agreement with initial measurements of the leakage currents in the low radius silicon detectors.

We assessed root turnover with the use of an isotope tracer in two forest free-air carbon dioxide enrichment experiments. Growth at elevated carbon dioxide did not accelerate root turnover in either the pine or the hardwood forest. Turnover of fine root carbon varied from 1.2 to 9 years, depending on root diameter and dominant tree species. These long turnover times suggest that root production and turnover in forests have been overestimated and that sequestration of anthropogenic atmospheric carbon in forest soils may be lower than currently estimated.

By probing the local environment around the sulfur atoms, an x-ray-induced sulfate formation at the CuIn(S,Se)[sub 2] surface can be monitored, correlated with a substantial enhancement of sodium impurity atoms from the CuIn(S,Se)[sub 2] film and its glass substrate. The results demonstrate that, with XES, an experimental probe is available to in situ study chemical reactions at liquid–solid interfaces or at surfaces in a high-pressure gas environment in a chemically sensitive and atom-specific way. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2003/11/22/ VL - 119 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 10895 EP - 10903 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - In the control of environmental pollution, metal carbides are potentially useful for trapping and destroying sulfur dioxide (SO[sub 2]). In the present study, the density functional theory was employed to study the surface structures and electronic properties of the adsorbed SO[sub 2] on titanium carbides: metcar Ti[sub 8]C[sub 12], nanocrystal Ti[sub 14]C[sub 13], and a bulk TiC(001) surface. The geometries and orientations of SO[sub 2] were fully optimized on all these substrates. Our calculations show that, in spite of the high C/Ti ratio and C[sub 2] groups, metcar Ti[sub 8]C[sub 12] exhibits extremely high activity towards SO[sub 2]. The S–O bonds of SO[sub 2] spontaneously break on Ti[sub 8]C[sub 12]. The products of the decomposition reaction (S, O) interact simultaneously with Ti and C sites. The C atoms are not simple spectators, and their participation in the dissociation of SO[sub 2] is a key element for the energetics of this process. Nanocrystal Ti[sub 14]C[sub 13] also displays a strong interaction with SO[sub 2]. Although the dissociation of SO[sub 2] on Ti[sub 14]C[sub 13] cannot proceed as easily as that on Ti[sub 8]C[sub 12], it could occur by thermal activation even at very low temperature. SO[sub 2] is weakly bonded with the bulk TiC(001) surface. By thermal activation the dissociation of SO[sub 2] on a TiC(001) surface may also take place but it should be much more difficult than that on Ti[sub 14]C[sub 13]. Therefore, we suggest that the carbide nanoparticles (Ti[sub 8]C[sub 12] and Ti[sub 14]C[sub 13]) should have special chemical activity towards SO[sub 2] removal associated with their “magic” structures. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

With this solution, it is shown that the symmetric structure is a minimum on the DFT potential energy surface, although higher in energy than the buckled structure. In restricted DFT calculations the symmetric structure is a saddle point connecting the two buckled minima. To further assess the effects of electron correlation on the relative energies of symmetric versus buckled dimers on Si(100), multireference second order perturbation theory (MRMP2) calculations are performed on these DFT optimized minima. The symmetric structure is predicted to be lower in energy than the buckled structure via MRMP2, while the reverse order is found by DFT. The implications for recent experimental interpretations are discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/11/22/ VL - 107 IS - 47 M3 - Article SP - 10154 EP - 10158 SN - 10895639 AB - By combining the asymptotic correction scheme of Casida and Salahub for exchange-correlation potentials and the phenomenological linear correlation between experimental ionization potentials and highest occupied Kohn-Sham (KS) orbital energies found by Zhan, Nichols, and Dixon, we propose a new, expedient, and self-contained asymptotic correction to exchange-correlation potentials in KS density functional theory (DFT) for use in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) that does not require an ionization potential as an external parameter from a separate calculation. The asymptotically corrected (TD)DFT method is implemented in the quantum chemistry program suite NWChem for both sequential and massively parallel execution. The asymptotic correction scheme combined with the B3LYP functional [B3LYP(AC)] is shown to be well balanced for both valence- and Rydberg-type transitions, with average errors in excitation energies of CO, N2, CH2O, and C2H4 being smaller than those of uncorrected BLYP and B3LYP TDDFT by factors of 4 and 2, respectively, consistent with the improved orbital energies found for B3LYP(AC). We demonstrate the general applicability and accuracy of the method for the Rydberg excited states of mono- to tetrafluorinated methanes, the valence and Rydberg excited states of benzene, and the Q, B, N, and L band positions of free-base porphin.

The temperature dependence of the ν3 modes for trapped CO2 is studied with two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy. Computer simulations are used to extract the basic physics of trapped CO2 and to make qualitative connections with changes seen in the infrared spectra. Experimental and simulated CO2 adsorption studies point to a sequential filling of adsorption sites in opened nanotubes with interstitial sites preceding endohedral sites. The limited number of sites available to the trapped CO2 species is used to facilitate a tentative assignment of vibrational peaks to specific sites in the nanotube bundles.

We first describe our observations of the role of thiols as etchants to produce clusters in a micelle-free synthesis by reduction of a metal-organic precursor. Clusters with large abundances are identified using HRSEC, and their sizes and optical properties are reported. The smallest, Dc~ 1 nm molecular sized Au clusters, with approximately 1 closed atomic shell, N ~ 13 atoms, have nonclassical features in their room temperature absorbance spectra. The other dominant sub-populations also correspond closely to closed-shell structural stabilities. We show that, contrary to the expectation that aging in solution will always broaden the size dispersion and increase the average size (Ostwald ripening), a narrowing of the size dispersion and change in average size can occur with time under ambient conditions. In the presence of various chain length alkanethiols, an etching and size decrease usually occurs; in the case of weakly bound alkylated poly(ethylene oxide) surfactants, an increase in size with time is observed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/11/22/ VL - 107 IS - 47 M3 - Article SP - 13084 EP - 13089 SN - 15206106 AB - Reported in this work are equilibrium pressures for the dissociation of methane hydrate confined in silica gel pores of nominal radii 7.5, 5.0, 3.0, or 2.0 nm. Also reported are equilibrium pressures for a sample containing a mixture of silica gel with nominal radii of 7.5 and 3.0 nm. Each of these porous media contained a broad distribution of pore radii. At higher temperatures, where the equilibria involved hydrate and liquid water, the pressures were larger than those for bulk hydrate at the corresponding temperature, and in general increased with a decrease in nominal pore radius. At lower temperatures where the equilibria involved ice, the pressures were identical (within expected experimental uncertainties) for all of the silica gels, and were the same as those reported in the literature for bulk methane hydrate. The independence of the equilibrium pressure from pore size at lower temperatures (where the equilibrium involved ice) indicates that for temperatures below the quadruple point temperature of the smallest hydrate containing pore, there is no detectable effect on the equilibrium pressure due to the restricted geometries of the porous media. This result suggests (1) that the interface relevant to the decomposition of hydrate in silica gel pores is that between the hydrate and the aqueous phase, as suggested by Henry et al.,1 and either (2a) that within experimental error the surface energy between the hydrate and the aqueous phase can be approximated by that between ice and the appropriate aqueous phase or (2b) that cosθ for the contact angle of the hydrate-ice interface silica gel is approximately zero.

The concentrations of interstitial iron and iron–boron pairs were measured by deep level transient spectroscopy. It was found that the dependence of redissolved iron concentration on annealing time can be fitted by the function C(t)=C[sub 0][1-exp(-t/τ[sub diss])], and the dissolution rate τ[sub diss][sup -1] has an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence of τ[sub diss][sup -1]=4.01×10[sup 4]×exp[-(1.47±0.10) eV/k[sub B]T] s[sup -1]. Based on this empirical equation, we predict how stable the gettered iron is during different annealing sequences and discuss implications for optimization of internal gettering. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The prevailing observation is that of competing processes—ablation and partial redeposition, thermal shock, and extreme quenching, as well as effects associated with shock wave propagation, resulting in both amorphization and heavily defective regions at the focal point of the laser pulse. The observed microstructural defects have a direct implication in optical memory or waveguide writing, where the goal is to realize consistent structural features with uniform optical properties. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Due to heat generation in situ, the process of sintering gets activated with faster kinetics compared to a conventional sintering process. The effect of various microwave process parameters on the microstructure and phase formation was studied. The sintered pellets were characterized using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive analysis (SEM-EDAX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The density of LSGM pellets microwave sintered at 1350 °C for 20 min is greater than 95% theoretical density with a fine grained microstructure (∼2–3 μm) and without the presence of other phase(s).

The amount of Li+ ions that intercalate at different rates was determined from measurement of the reversible capacity during de-intercalation in 1 M LiClO4/1:1 (volume ratio) ethylene carbonate—dimethyl carbonate. The key issues in this study are the role of the particle size and fraction of edge sites on the rate of intercalation and de-intercalation of Li+ ions. At low specific current (15.5 mA/g carbon), the composition of lithiated graphite approaches the theoretical value, x=1 in LixC6, except for the natural graphite with the largest particle size. However, x decreases with an increase in specific current for all particle sizes. This trend suggests that slow solid-state diffusion of Li+ ions limits the intercalation capacity in graphite. The 3D natural graphite with a particle size of 12 μm may provide the optimum combination of reversible capacity and irreversible capacity loss in the electrolyte and discharge rates used in this study.

The mixture was calcined at 900 °C in air for 24 h and cooled at three different rates: quenched into liquid nitrogen, 2 °C/min, and 0.5 °C/min. It was found that the crystallographic structure and electrochemical properties of Li(Li0.17Ni0.25Mn0.58)O2 highly depend on the cooling rate. The sample quenched into liquid nitrogen exhibited a long irreversible plateau at ca. 4.5 V during the first charge, and the discharge capacity gradually increased from 170 to 210 mAh/g after 40 cycles. The samples cooled at slower rates exhibited more monoclinic character and cubic spinel phase was observed; they showed no plateaus at 4.5 V during the first charge and the discharge capacities also gradually increased from 80 and 55 mAh/g to 130 and 85 mAh/g for 2 and 0.5 °C/min-cooled samples, respectively.

One set of cells contained a LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathode and the other, LiNi0.8Co0.10Al0.10O2. The cells were calendar- and cycle-life tested at several temperatures, with periodic interruptions for reference performance tests that were used to gauge capacity and power fade as a function of time.The C1/25 capacity fade in the cells displayed t1/2 dependence. The capacity fade of the 10% Al-doped cells tested at 45 °C was similar to that of the 5% Al-doped cells at 25 °C. The impedance rise and power fade were also sensitive to the Al concentration. For the one common temperature investigated (i.e., 45 °C), the 10% Al-doped cells displayed higher impedance rise and power fade than the 5% Al-doped cells. Additionally, the time dependence of the impedance rise displayed two distinct kinetic regimes; the initial portion depended on t1/2 and the final, on t. On the other hand, the 10% Al-doped cells depended on t1/2 only.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) were used to investigate the effect of substrate temperature and oxygen partial pressure on the growth and morphology of these films. LEED indicates the growth of (100) films with MgO 〈110〉 directions oriented along 〈100〉 directions of the substrate. Despite the insulating nature of bulk MgO, films up to 25-A˚ thick are sufficiently conducting to perform STM measurements. STM reveals Mg deposition in an oxygen ambient at substrate temperatures from 300 to 900 K produces uniform films. Films as thick as eight atomic layers typically have only three layers exposed. These films consist of small domains between 20 and 60 A˚ in diameter. The domain shapes are random and the perimeters show no preferred orientation. In contrast, films grown at temperatures in excess of 1000 K exhibit larger three-dimensional MgO islands (Volmer–Weber growth). Steps on these high temperature films orient preferentially along thermodynamically favored MgO 〈100〉 directions. STM images of films deposited at high temperature exhibit a checkerboard pattern. The dimensions and symmetry of this pattern are consistent with the coincidence arising from the mismatch of the MgO(100) and Mo(001) lattice. Annealing room temperature deposited films results in island coalescence and produces uniform films with domains in excess of 100 A˚. The perimeters of these domains are oriented along MgO 〈100〉 directions.

Relatively simple MEMS are used in applications ranging from automobile air bag sensors to electronic games. Considerably more complex devices have been designed for defense applications, for which government funding is available; however, the fledgling industry suffers from insufficient knowledge of materials physics at micrometer size and from the fact that currently commercialized MEMS devices are designed for specialized and rather disparate purposes, do not have a broad user base, and therefore have not generated industry standards or the design and process software that would be built upon those industry standards. In addition to industry standards, further advances in MEMS technology require a more complete understanding of the physics underlying performance and reliability. The first half of this paper reviews general issues related to fabrication and commercialization; the second half addresses the technical materials issues that relate to MEMS performance and reliability.

For each category the various properties of prime interest are discussed, how these differ from one class to another, and how these properties can be controlled. Recent developments in materials are highlighted through the consideration of a few selected new magnetic materials which are at the leading edge of current research, including: amorphous magnetic fibers, nanocrystalline permanent magnet materials, ferromagnetic shape memory alloys and spintronic materials.

This sparse use however did include many seminal applications and led to many of the techniques still used today. This is the heritage enjoyed by us who today unhesitatingly use the Metropolis algorithm and the Monte Carlo method more generally, for exploring the properties of physical systems. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The prescription is suitable for electronic machine calculations and provides the basis for calculations described elsewhere. The purpose of this paper is to provide a more rigorous proof of the method. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Their properties are closely related to those of the dilute neutron-rich matter which may be present in the surface of neutron stars. Fermi systems with such strong short-range attractive forces lie between traditional BCS theories with small gaps and those where the fermions are tightly bound into pairs, yielding composite bosons. We discuss the Quantum Monte Carlo methods used to study such systems, and report results for the ground-state energy, the superfluid gap, and other properties. In particular, we compare results with those of neutron matter at subnuclear densities. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/11/25/ VL - 42 IS - 46 M3 - Article SP - 13429 EP - 13437 SN - 00062960 AB - We report the crystal structure of N-utilizing substance A protein (NusA) from Thermotoga maritima (TmNusA), a protein involved in transcriptional pausing, termination, and antitermination. TmNusA has an elongated rod-shaped structure consisting of an N-terminal domain (NTD, residues 1-132) and three RNA binding domains (RBD). The NTD consists of two subdomains, the globular head and the helical body domains, that comprise a unique three-dimensional structure that may be important for interacting with RNA polymerase. The globular head domain possesses a high content of negatively charged residues that may interact with the positively charged flaplike domain of RNA polymerase. The helical body domain is composed of a three-helix bundle that forms a hydrophobic core with the aid of two neighboring β-strands. This domain shows structural similarity with one of the helical domains of σ[sup70] factor from Escherichia coli. One side of the molecular surface shows positive electrostatic potential suitable for nonspecific RNA interaction. The RBD is composed of one S1 domain and two K-homology (KH) domains forming an elongated RNA binding surface. Structural comparison between TmNusA and Mycobacterium tuberculosis NusA reveals a possible hinge motion between NTD and RBD. In addition, a functional implication of the NTD in its interaction with RNA polymerase is discussed.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2003/11/25/ VL - 42 IS - 46 M3 - Article SP - 13673 EP - 13683 SN - 00062960 AB - Effects of ionizable amino acids on spectroscopic properties and electron-transfer kinetics in the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides are investigated by site-directed mutations designed to alter the electrostatic environment of the bacteriochlorophyll dimer that serves as the photochemical electron donor (P). Arginine residues at homologous positions in the L and M subunits (L135 and M164) are changed independently: Arg L135 is replaced by Lys, Leu, Glu, and Gin and Arg M164 by Leu and Glu. Asp L155 also is mutated to Asn, Tyr L164 to Phe, and Cys L247 to Lys and Asp. The mutations at L155, L164, and M164 have little effect on the absorption spectrum, whereas those at L135 and L247 shift the long-wavelength absorption band of P to higher energies. Fits to the groundstate absorption and hole-burned spectra indicate that the blue shift and increased width of the absorption band in the L135 mutants are due partly to changes in the distribution of energies for the zero-phonon absorption line and partly to stronger electron-phonon coupling. The initial electron-transfer kinetics are not changed significantly in most of the mutants, but the time constant increases from 3.0 ± 0.2 in wild-type RCs to 4.7 ± 0.2 in C(L247)D and 7.0 ± 0.3 ps in C(L247)K. The effects of the mutations on the solvation free energies of the product of the initial electron-transfer reaction (P[sup+]B[sup-, subL]) and the charge-transfer states that contribute to the absorption spectrum (P[sup+, subL]P[sup-, subM] and P[sup-, subL]P[sup+, subM]) were calculated by using a distance-dependent electrostatic screening factor. The results are qualitatively in accord with the view that electrostatic interactions of the bacteriochlorophylls with ionized residues of the protein are strongly screened and make only minor contributions to the energetics and dynamics of charge separation. However, the slowing of electron transfer in the Cys L247 mutants and the blue shift of the spectrum in some of the Arg L135 and Cys L247 mutants cannot be explained consistently by electrostatic interactions of the mutated residues with P and B[subL]; we ascribe these effects tentatively to structural changes caused by the mutations.

This methodology is based on advanced constitutive equations accounting for the “strong” coupling between the elastoplastic behavior, the mixed isotropic and kinematic hardening and the isotropic ductile damage. Both the mechanical and numerical aspects related to the associated initial and boundary values problem (IBVP) are briefly outlined. Application is made to be the cold forging of a 3D part (spider) by studying the influence of the material ductility as well as the friction nature between the part and the die on the damage occurrence. The proposed methodology is shown to be very useful and helpful when dealing with a “virtual” improvement of any forging processes with respect to damage occurrence.

The suspensions were cast into parts by a solid freeform fabrication technique termed robocasting and qualitatively characterized in terms of build behavior. Sedimentation and viscometry data were interpreted in view of knowledge of the interparticle forces. Through control of suspension pH and counter-ion addition, pseudoplastic mullite suspensions were created for use in the robocasting process. The suspensions were robocast at 52 vol.% solids and dried to yield a consolidated density of 55 vol.%. After firing to 1650 °C, robocast parts were greater than 96% dense.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2003/11/25/ VL - 100 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 13761 EP - 13766 SN - 00278424 AB - High doses of ionizing radiation clearly produce deleterious con sequences in humans, including, but not exclusively, cancer induc tion. At very Iow radiation doses the situation is much less clear, but the risks of iow-dose radiation are of societal importance in relation to issues as varied as screening tests for cancer, the future of nuclear power, occupational radiation exposure, frequent-flyer risks, manned space exploration, and radiological terrorism. We review the difficulties involved in quantifying the risks of Iow-dose radiation and address two specific questions. First, what is the lowest dose of x- or γ-radiation for which good evidence exists of increased cancer risks in humans? The epidemiological data suggest that it is ≃10-50 mSv for an acute exposure and &Sime;50-100 mSv for a protracted exposure. Second, what is the most appropriate way to extrapolate such cancer risk estimates to still lower doses? Given that it is supported by experimentally grounded, quantifiable, biophysical arguments, a linear extrapolation of cancer risks from intermediate to very Iow doses currently appears to be the most appropriate methodology. This linearity assumption is not necessarily the most conservative approach, and it is likely that it will result in an underestimate of some radiation-induced cancer risks and an overestimate of others.

Using replica exchange molecular dynamics we perform enough sampling over a wide range of temperatures to obtain the free energy, entropy, and enthalpy surfaces as a function of structural reaction coordinates. Simulations were started from different configurations covering the folded and unfolded states. Because many transitions between all minima at the free energy surface are observed, a quantitative determination of the free energy barriers and the ensemble of configurations associated with them is now possible. The kinetic bottlenecks for folding can be determined from the thermal ensembles of structures on the free energy barriers, provided the kinetically determined transition-state ensembles are similar to those determined from free energy barriers. A mechanism incorporating the interplay among backbone ordering, side- chain packing, and desolvation arises from these calculations. Large θ values arise not only from native contacts, which mostly form at the transition state, but also from contacts already present in the unfolded state that are partially destroyed at the transition.

Specifically, transition-path sampling is used to overcome computational limitations associated with conventional techniques to harvest many trajectories for the flipping of a terminal cytosine in a 3-bp oligomer in explicit water. Comparison with free-energy projections obtained with umbrella sampling reveals four coordinates that separate true dynamic transition states from stable reactant and product states. Unbinding proceeds via two qualitatively different pathways: one in which the flipping base breaks its intramolecular hydrogen bonds before it unstacks and another in which it ruptures both sets of interactions simultaneously. Both on- and off-pathway intermediates are observed. The relation of the results to coarse-grained models for DNA-based biosensors is discussed.

We use the replica exchange molecular dynamics method to sample the conformational phase space of two α-helical peptides, A[sub21] and the F[subs1], by using two different classical potentials and both water models. We find that when using GB/SA: (i) A[sub21] is predicted to be more helical than the F[subs] peptide ar all temperatures; (ii) the native structure of the F[subs] peptide is predicted to be a helical bundle instead of a single helix; and (iii) the persistence length and most probable end-to-end distance are too large in the unfolded state when compared against the explicit solvent simulations. We find that the potential of mean force in the ψφ plane is markedly different in the two solvents, making the two simulated peptides respond differently when the backbone torsions are perturbed. A fit of the temperature melting curves obtained in these simulations to a Lifson-Roig model finds that the GB/SA model has an unphysically large nucleation parameter, whereas the explicit solvent model produces values similar to experiment.

Teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene is well-known for its remarkable surface properties. Recently, it was found that highly oriented PTFE thin films could be rubbed onto a substrate by shearing a hot piece of PTFE. They can be used as, templates to orient biological molecules, organic films, and crystals, as well as polymers deposited on them. Various mechanisms such as epitaxy, graphoepitaxy and topographical induction have been proposed to explain the surface-induced ordering effect. Clearly, for basic understanding of the effect, one needs to know the surface structure if the films at the molecular level.

The X-ray data were used to determine the C and O atom positions. The resulting structure is a one-chain triclinic unit cell with all glucosyl linkages and hydroxymethyl groups (tg) identical. However, adjacent sugar rings alternate in conformation giving the chain a cellobiosyl repeat. The chains organize in sheets packed in a "parallel-up" fashion. The positions of hydrogen atoms involved in hydrogen-bonding were determined from a Fourier-difference analysis using neutron diffraction data collected from hydrogenated and deuterated samples. The differences between the structure and hydrogen-bonding reported here for cellulose l[sub&alfa;] and previously for cellulose l[subβ] provide potential explanations for the solid-state conversion of l[sub&alfa;] → l[subβ] and for the occurrence of two crystal phases in naturally occurring cellulose.

This requires the application of a much larger voltage bias for the C48B12 and C48N12 pair to be considered as valid components in molecular electronics.

One popular approach detects peaks where signal intensities exceed some threshold. This threshold is typically set arbitrarily above the noise level or manually by the user. Intensity threshold-based methods can be sensitive to baseline variations and signal intensity. Another popular peak detection approach relies on matching the spectral intensities to a reference peak shape. This approach can be very sensitive to baseline changes and deviations from the reference peak shape. Such methods can be significantly challenged by modern analytical instrumentation where the baseline tends to drift, peaks of interest may have a low signal to noise (S/N) ratio, and no well-defined reference peak shape is available.We present a new approach for spectral peak detection that is designed to be generic and easily automated. Employing a histogram-based model for spectral intensity, peaks are detected by comparing the estimated variance of observations (the x-axis of the spectrum) to the expected variance when no peak is present inside some window of interest. We compare an implementation of this approach to two existing peak detection algorithms using a series of simulated spectra.

Five values of w=[water]/[surfactant] were used, namely 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the nanoparticle diameters were 4–240 nm and increased proportionally with w. The nanoparticles prepared from a microemulsion of w=2 and 8 showed brown and ocherous colors respectively, while bulk silver iodide powder is pale yellow. The crystal structure was determined by neutron powder diffraction. The composition was estimated to be 25% β-AgI and 75% γ-AgI. The super-ionic conductor phase could not be detected at room temperature. The w=8 microemulsion was examined with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) in order to study the core-shell structure of the reverse micelles at various temperatures. Measurements were carried out at 20 and 9 °C and then at 70 °C and finally at 28 °C, in order to investigate whether the structural changes were reversible with temperature. The total radius of the micelles, surfactant shell thickness and water core radius decreased with increasing temperature and the changes were reversible with temperature. The particle diameters derived by TEM were generally larger than those estimated from the SANS measurements. This suggested that the silver iodide nuclei formed initially grew to reach a certain size, corresponding to the most thermodynamically stable species in the microemulsion, because of the fast exchange between the water cores.

The December 1, 2003 issue of the journal "Acta Crystallographica Section D," features invited articles from a number of authors who have made significant contributions to biological crystallography. Four articles in the present issue highlight two different aspects of the extraordinary power of crystallography. Two papers show the spectacular way in which crystallography can address the structures of large biological assemblies. Two other papers focus on the chemistry of biological molecules, in one case examining fine atomic detail, in the other providing the chemical and structural basis for a remarkable colour change in biology.

The archaeal enzyme appears to represent a new class of AlaDH that is not homologous to bacterial AlaDH enzymes, but has close evolutionary links to the broad ornithine cyclodeaminase/μ-crystallin family, which includes human thyroid hormone binding protein. which has 30% sequence identity to the A. fulgidus gene. The enzyme has been cloned, shown to catalyze the NAD-dependent interconversion of alanine and pyruvate and crystallized in several forms. Although the purified protein crystallized readily under many conditions, most of the crystals diffracted weakly or not at all. One polymorph growing in space group P2[SUB1]2[SUB1]2[SUB1] has non-crystallographic symmetry, that becomes crystallographic, changing the space group to P2[SUB1]2[SUB1]2, upon binding iridium or samarium. Before and after derivatization, these crystals diffracted to 2.5 Å using synchrotron radiation. Multiwavelength diffraction data were collected from the non-isomorphous iridium derivative, enabling structure determination.

Life is an information system where the information content grows because of selection. It must start with the minimum possible information, or the minimum possible departure from thermodynamic equilibrium. It also requires thermodynamically free energy that is accessible by means of its information content. Hence, for its origin, we look for the most benign circumstance or minimum entropy variations over long times with abundant free energy. The unique location for this condition is the pore space in the first few kilometers of the earth's surface. The free energy is derived from the condensed products of the chemical reactions taking place in the cooling nebula e.g. iron oxides and fixed hydrocarbon, (CH[sub 2])[sub 16] and the benign environment is the thermal and radiation isolation of the earth's crust. We discuss how this environment occurs naturally and universally astrophysically. We then propose several chemical routes to the formation of life with a minimum entropy departure from thermodynamic equilibrium.

JO - Aging Cell JF - Aging Cell Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 2 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 287 EP - 294 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14749718 AB - Oxidative damage is a causal factor in aging and cancer, but it is still not clear how DNA damage, the cellular responses to such damage and its conversion to mutations by misrepair or misreplication contribute to these processes. Using transgenic mice carrying a lacZ mutation reporter, we have previously shown that mutations increase with age in most organs and tissues in vivo. It has also been previously shown that mouse cells respond to oxidative stress, typical of standard culture conditions, by undergoing cellular senescence. To understand better the consequences of oxidative stress, we cultured mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) from lacZ mice under physiological oxygen tension (3%) or the high oxygen tension (20%) associated with standard culture, and determined the frequency and spectrum of mutations. Upon primary culture, the mutation frequency was found to increase approximately three-fold relative to the embryo. The majority of mutations were genome rearrangements. Subsequent culture in 20% oxygen resulted in senescence, followed by spontaneous immortalization. Immortalization was accompanied by an additional three-fold increase in mutations, most of which were G:C to T:A transversions, a signature mutation of oxidative DNA damage. In 3% oxygen, by contrast, MEFs did not senesce and the mutation frequency and spectrum remained similar to primary cultures. These findings demonstrate for the first time the impact of oxidative stress on the genomic integrity of murine cells during senescence and immortalization.

However, a variety of potential problems must be studied in order to demonstrate this potential, including rf breakdown, joule heating, and gas desorption. A joint Argonne National Laboratory — Naval Research Laboratory program is under way to investigate these issues, using high-power 11.424-GHz radiation from the NRL Magnicon Facility. Recent tests using a copper accelerating tube with an alumina liner have shown no evidence of rf breakdown at up to 5 MW drive power (equivalent to 8 MV/m accelerating gradient). However, substantial absorption of the incident microwave radiation was observed, accompanied by visible light emission from the dielectric surface, indicating the presence of electron multipactor in the tube. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - American Mineralogist JF - American Mineralogist Y1 - 2003/12//Nov/Dec2003 Part 2 VL - 88 IS - 11/12 M3 - Article SP - 1889 EP - 1902 SN - 0003004X AB - Yucca Mountain, Nevada, has been approved by the U.S. Congress as the site of the first high-level radioactive waste repository in the U.S., paving the way for the Department of Energy to submit a license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The U.S. concept of a radioactive waste repository involves both engineered (man-made) barriers and geologic barriers to minimize the long-term migration of waste from the repository. The minerals at Yucca Mountain are an integral part of the geologic barrier to the migration of radionuclides, and understanding the distribution of reactive and potentially sorptive minerals is crucial to modeling the long-term performance of the repository. We have determined the three-dimensional distribution of minerals at Yucca Mountain by analyzing a number of drill cores using quantitative X-ray diffraction methods. Clinoptilolite and mordenite are locally abundant in the rhyolitic tuffs in both the unsaturated and saturated zones. They formed by the alteration of glassy rhyolitic tuffs, and their occurrence is stratified, often following the distribution of nonwelded, initially vitric tuffs near and below the water table. Because of their large cation-exchange capacities, these minerals have traditionally been considered to be important in retardation of the migration of cationic radionuclides such as [sup137]Cs and [sup90]Sr. However, analysis of radionuclides that may be contained at Yucca Mountain reveals that, for the most part, the radioactive species of concern are not those that would be readily sorbed by natural zeolites. Although clinoptilolite and mordenite are highly selective for Cs and Sr, the half-lives of these radionuclides (∼30 years) are sufficiently short that the man-made containment at any radioactive waste repository is expected to outlive these radionuclides. The most important radionuclides are thus anionic species and long-lived actinides that often form large, complex aqueous species, both of...

JO - American Mineralogist JF - American Mineralogist Y1 - 2003/12//Nov/Dec2003 Part 2 VL - 88 IS - 11/12 M3 - Article SP - 1903 EP - 1914 SN - 0003004X AB - Mineralogical transformations of 2-line ferrihydrite were studied under oxic and Fe³+;-reducing conditions to establish the role, if any, of 6-line ferrihydrite ("well" organized ferrihydrite) in the reaction pathway and as a final product. In oxic experiments, concentrated suspensions (0.42 mol/L Fe³+; in 0.1 mol/L NaClO[sub4]) of freshly synthesized 2-line ferrihydrite, with and without 3 % Ni²+;, were aged at an initial pH = 7.2 (unbuffered and unadjusted) and 25 °C for more than three years. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements were performed on the solids after different aging periods. The primary mineralogical products observed were 6-line ferrihydrite and goethite, with minor hematite. Aggregation and crystallization of the 2-line ferrihydrite liberated protons and depressed suspension pH, but coprecipitated Ni²+; retarded this process. The joint, interrelated effects of Ni and pH influenced both the extent of conversion of 2-line ferrihydrite and the identity of the major transformation products. Six-line ferrihydrite dominated in the Ni ferrihydrite suspension, whereas goethite dominated in the absence of Ni. Aggregation-induced crystallization of 2-line ferrihydrite particles seemed responsible for 6-line ferrihydrite formation. Mineralogical changes to Ni ferrihydrite under anaerobic conditions were investigated at circumneutral pH using the Fe³+;-reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens. Residual 6-line ferrihydrite dominated bioreduced samples that also contained goethite and magnetite. The conversion of 2-line ferrihydrite to 6-line ferrihydrite was considerably more rapid under anaerobic conditions. The sorption of biogenic Fe²+; apparently induced intra-aggregate transformation of 2-line ferrihydrite to 6-line ferrihydrite. Collectively, abiotic and biotic studies indicated that 6-line ferrihydrite can be a transformation product of 2-line ferrihydrite,...

The sorption of Sr²+; is dependent on the ionic strength of the medium and independent of pH, suggesting that Sr²+; sorption is controlled by ion exchange at permanent charge sites. At higher ionic strengths, background electrolyte cations compete effectively with Sr²+; for cation-exchange sites and Sr²+; sorption is suppressed. At the two lower ionic strengths (0.01 and 0.1 M), Pb²+; sorption is also consistent with adsorption by cation exchange. At the highest ionic strength (1.0 M), however, exclusion of Pb²+; from cation-exchange sites resulted in pH dependent adsorption, consistent with sorption on amphoteric surface hydroxyl sites or formation of surface precipitates. XAS was used to test these hypotheses. Based on XAS data, Sr²+; formed hydrated surface complexes coordinated with approximately eight O atoms at an average distance of 2.60 (± 0.02) Å, regardless of conditions, consistent with the formation of mononuclear, outer-sphere surface complexes at the Ca2 site in the B channel of clinoptilolite. The coordination environment of sorbed Pb²+; was more complex and a function of pH and ionic strength. The first shell consisted of two to three O atoms at an average distance of 2.20 (±0.02) Å. At low pH and ionic strength, XAS data were consistent with Pb²+; adsorption at the Na1 and Ca2 cation exchange sites in channels A and B of clinoptilolite, respectively. At the highest ionic strength (1.0 M) and low pH, XAS provide evidence for formation of Pb²+; monodentate, corner-sharing inner-sphere complexes, whereas at higher pH, XAS analysis is consistent with formation of edge-sharing bidentate...

JO - Amyloid JF - Amyloid Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 10 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 215 EP - 223 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 13506129 AB - Apolipoprotein A-I amyloidosis (AApo A-I) is an inherited systemic disease that results from pathologic deposition in tissues of fibrils composed of Apo A-I-related molecules. This disorder has been linked to mutations occurring within the coding region of the Apo A-I gene and heretofore, nine such variants had been described. Recently, a tenth alteration was found in an Italian population where the substitution of proline for leucine at position 75 (Leu75Pro) was associated with amyloid deposits in the liver. We now report our studies on a patient of different ethnicity who has hepatic amyloidosis and a similar mutation in the amyloidogenic precursor protein, as evidenced from analyses of genomic Apo A-I-encoding DNA. Additionally, fibrils extracted from the liver and characterized chemically were found lo be composed almosi exclusively of a ∼96 residue N-terminal Apo A-I fragment that contained the Leu75Pro substitution. RFLP analyses revealed that the patient was heterozygous for this mutation; however. < 10% of the plasma Apo A-I consisted of the aberrant protein while the remainder had the normal (wild-type) sequence. Our findings provide further evidence that the Leu75Pro variant is associated with a predominant hepatic phenotype and can occur in individuals of diverse ethnic backgrounds.

The most widely used class of algorithms for analyzing mass spectra of pepfides has been database search software such as SEQUEST. A new sequence tag database search algorithm, called GutenTag, makes it possible to identify peptides with unknown posttranslational modifications or sequence variations. This software automates the process of inferring partial sequence "tags" directly from the spectrum and efficiently examines a sequence database for peptides that match these tags. When multiple candidate sequences result from the database search, the software evaluates which is the best match by a rapid examination of spectral fragment ions. We compare GutenTag's accuracy to that of SEQUEST on a defined protein mixture, showing that both modified and unmodified peptides can be successfully identified by this approach. GutenTag analyzed 33 000 spectra from a human lens sample, identifying peptides that were missed in prior SEQUEST analysis due to sequence polymorphisms and posttranslational modifications.

Silver nitrate was first doped into the sol-gel film followed by chemical reduction of the silver ions with sodium borohydride to produce silver particles. This silver-doped sol-gel substrate exhibits strong enhancement of Raman scattering from adsorbed uranyl ions with a detection limit of 8.5 × 10[SUP-8] M, which is comparable to existing methods of uranyl detection such as spectrophotometry, fiuorometry, and a SERS method based on ligand-modified solution silver colloids. However, in the present method, no preconcentration steps, chromogens, or complexing ligands are needed. Compared with the SERS method using Ag colloidal sols, the silver-doped sol-gel film has the advantage that the silver particles trapped in the sol-gel matrix are much more stable than Ag colloids in liquid media. Furthermore, porous silica sol-gel materials are known to have affinities toward many inorganic and organic molecules. The enhanced adsorption affinities could also lead to the increased SERS sensitivity. The performance of the new silver-doped sol-gel substrate was evaluated with uranyl ions and compared to that of a SERS substrate based on silver-coated silica beads prepared by vacuum deposition. The detection limit for the silver-doped sol-gel film was 104 limes lower than that for the silver-coated silica beads. The sol-gel substrate was further used to obtain, for the first time, the surface-enhanced Raman spectrum of neptunyl ions in dilute aqueous solutions.

SN - 02180006 AB - Sequential Dynamical Systems (SDSs) are mathematical models for analyzing simulation systems. We investigate phase space properties of some special classes of SDSs obtained by restricting the local transition functions used at the nodes. We show that any SDS over the Boolean domain with symmetric Boolean local transition functions can be efficiently simulated by another SDS which uses only simple threshold and simple inverted threshold functions, where the same threshold value is used at each node and the underlying graph is d-regular for some integer d. We establish tight or nearly tight upper and lower bounds on the number of steps needed for SDSs over the Boolean domain with 1-, 2- or 3-threshold functions at each of the nodes to reach a fixed point. When the domain is a unitary semiring and each node computes a linear combination of its inputs, we present a polynomial time algorithm to determine whether such an SDS reaches a fixed point. We also show (through an explicit construction) that there are Boolean SDSs with the NOR function at each node such that their phase spaces contain directed cycles whose length is exponential in the number of nodes of the underlying graph of the SDS.

SN - 01638998 AB - The τ neutrino was the last standard-model fermion to be directly observed. We report on the strategy, design, and results of the DONuT experiment. The data were acquired at Fermilab during 1997, and in July 2000, the DONuT collaboration presented four τ -neutrino interactions. Modern nuclear-emulsion processing was the key technology that made it possible to detect the decay of τ leptons produced in charged-current interactions of τ neutrinos. The precision of the emulsion data and the speed of digitization enabled the use of novel methods to locate interaction vertices and search for decays in emulsion data. We also discuss the level of background in the τ signal, which is small enough to permit the identification of individual τ events with high confidence.

SN - 01638998 AB - The use of energy recovery provides a potentially powerful new paradigm for generation of the charged particle beams used in synchrotron radiation sources, high-energy electron cooling devices, electron-ion colliders, and other applications in photon science and nuclear and high-energy physics. Energy-recovering electron linear accelerators (called energy-recovering linacs, or ERLs) share many characteristics with ordinary linacs, as their six-dimensional beam phase space is largely determined by electron source properties. However, in common with classic storage rings, ERLs possess a high average-current-carrying capability enabled by the energy recovery process, and thus promise similar efficiencies. We discuss the concept of energy recovery and its technical challenges and describe the Jefferson Lab (JLab) Infrared Demonstration Free-Electron Laser (IR Demo FEL), originally driven by a 35-48-MeV, 5-mA superconducting radiofrequency (srf) ERL, which provided the most substantial demonstration of energy recovery to date: a beam of 250 kW average power. We present an overview of envisioned ERL applications and a development path to achieving the required performance. We use experimental data obtained at the JLab IR Demo FEL and recent experimental results from CEBAF-ER--a GeV-scale, comparatively low-current energy-recovery demonstration at JLab--to evaluate the feasibility of the newapplications of high-current ERLs, as well as ERLs' limitations and ultimate performance.

We focus on the standard-model predictions and identify the main sources of theoretical uncertainties in both D[sup0] - D[sup0] mixing and rare charm decays. The potential of these observables for constraining short-distance physics in the standard model and its extensions is compromised by the presence of large nonperturbative effects. We examine the possible discovery windows in which short-distance physics can be tested and study the effects of various extensions to the standard model. The current experimental situation and future prospects are reviewed.

Non-energy benefits are divided into three major categories: (1) ratepayer benefits; (2) household benefits; and (3) societal benefits. The ratepayer benefits can be divided into two main subcategories: payment-related benefits and service-provision benefits. Similarly, there are two key types of household benefits: those associated with affordable housing and those related to safety, health and comfort. Societal benefits can be classified as either environmental, social, or economic. Our study found the total lifetime value for all non-energy benefit-categories to be $3346 (in 2001 dollars) per household, which is slightly greater than the average value of energy savings for houses heated by natural gas, and substantially higher than the total cost per low-income weatherization. Societal benefits were much larger than either ratepayer or household benefits.

Approximate, i.e. thin shear layer self-similar forms for mass, momentum and the scalar quantity are derived, linearized using Go¨ertler’s [ZAMM 22 (1942) 244] perturbation argument and examined. Though successful for the mean velocity field, the regular expansion yields inconsistent solutions for the transport of a scalar. Sources of the non-uniformity are identified and a consistent result is obtained using matched asymptotic expansions. This result explains the success of semi-empirical convective velocity closures used by several researchers for a turbulence length scale equation.

For such applications, it is useful to have a simple approach to tune the microcavity resonant wavelength.

From our extensive data, we extrapolate a band edge mass of (0.208±0.002)m[sub e]. By comparing our m[sup *] data with the results of a multiband k·p calculation, we infer that the effect of remote bands is essential in explaining the observed conduction-band nonparabolicity (NP). Our calculation of polaron mass corrections—including finite width and two-dimensional (2D) screening—suggests those to be negligible. It implies that the behavior of m[sup *](n[sub 2D]) can be understood solely in terms of NP. Finally, using our NP and polaron corrections, we are able to reduce the large scatter in the published band edge mass values. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The conducting tip locally modulates the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) while the change in the drain current was monitored as a function of tip position. A spatial resolution of 250 nm was obtained. This technique enables us to investigate the role of defects in transistor performance. In particular, when biased near the depletion of the 2DEG, the transconductance map displays a cell structure, with low signal regions correlating with the positions of negatively charged threading dislocations. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We have studied magnetic impurities in raw and purified SWCNTs by magnetic susceptibility measurements, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetry. The data suggest that the saturation magnetic moment and the effective field, which are caused by the interparticle interactions, decrease and increase, respectively, with the decrease of the particle size. Methods are suggested to overcome the uncertainty associated. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The strong dependence of the deactivation process on electric field is due mainly to the transport of H[sup +] in the depletion region. The observed dependence of the neutralized-acceptor concentration on the irradiation bias is explained by analytical modeling and Monte Carlo simulations. Neutralization of protons in the Si is not necessary to describe the observed dopant deactivation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

In the presence of multivalent cations (frequently Ca2+), alginates form a gel. Consequently, alginates have been used to encapsulate a variety of biological materials, including cells. In this study, we present NMR relaxation and diffusion data from alginate microbeads with similar size and properties to those used in the development of a bioartificial pancreas. Our data demonstrate that the transverse relaxation time (T2) of water within the gel depends on the guluronic acid content of the alginate, whereas the longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and the apparent diffusion coefficient of water do not. Our data further suggest that the diffusion of Ca2+ ions is hindered by the presence of a poly-l-lysine layer, a layer commonly added to provide mechanical support to the beads and immunoprotection to the encapsulated cells in the event of implantation. The impact of these data on our understanding of the role of alginate gels in the development of a bioartificial pancreas is discussed.

This may make the bone more prone to initiate microcracks. The objective of this study was to determine whether suppression of remodeling caused by treatment of dogs for 1 year with five times the clinical dose of either alendronate or risedronate is associated with increased tissue mineralization and whether it changes the nature of the mineral crystal. Thirty-five dogs were divided into three weight-matched groups and treated daily for 1 year with a subcutaneous injection of saline (CON, n = 12), oral risedronate (RIS, 0.5 mg/kg/day, n = 11), or oral alendronate (ALN, 1.0 mg/kg/day, n = 12). Density fractionation, peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT), and quantitative backscattered electron microscopy (qBSE) were used to evaluate changes in mineral content of bone tissue from the vertebrae or ribs. Infrared microspectroscopy (IR) and X-ray diffraction were used to assess the quality of the mineral and some aspects of collagen structure in the thoracic vertebrae and iliac crest. Following 12 months of treatment, there was a significant shift toward higher density bone in both ALN (P = 0.04) and RIS (P = 0.002) by density fractionation methods. IR, pQCT, and qBSE did not detect any significant differences in mineralization, probably because of their lower sensitivity and/or because of the smaller region of interest they sample. No significant differences were found in the maturity of the mineral crystals or in their length or size. We conclude that treatment for 1 year with high doses of bisphosphonates which suppress bone remodeling up to 90% increases tissue mineralization, but does not change the nature of the mineral crystal.

Since publication of the results of the assessment at the end of 2000, the National Research Council's report Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions, and the U.S. government's U.S.Climate Action Report—2002 have both relied on the assessment's findings. Because of the importance of these findings, it is important to directly address questions regarding the representativeness and usefulness of the model-based projections on which the findings were based. In particular, criticisms have focused on whether the climate models that were relied upon adequately represented twentieth-century conditions and whether their projections of conditions for the twenty-first century were outliers. Reexamination of the approach used in developing and evaluating the climate scenarios indicates that the results from the two primary climate modeling groups that were relied upon allowed the generation of climate scenarios that span much of the range of possible future climatic conditions projected by the larger set of model simulations, which was compiled for the IPCC's Third Assessment Report. With the set of models showing increasing agreement in their simulations of twentieth-century trends in climate and of projected changes in climate on subcontinental to continental scales, the climate scenarios that were generated seem likely to provide a plausible representation of the types of climatic conditions that could be experienced during the twenty-first century. Warming, reduced snow cover, and more intense heavy precipitation events were projected by all models, suggesting such changes are quite likely. However, significant differences remain in the projection of changes in precipitation and of the regional departures in climate from the larger-scale patterns. For this reason, evaluating potential impacts using climate scenarios based on models exhibiting different regional responses is a necessary step to ensuring a representative analysis. Utilizing an even more encompassing set of scenarios in the future could help move from mainly qualitative toward more certain and quantitative conclusions.

JO - Catalysis Letters JF - Catalysis Letters Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 91 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 247 EP - 252 SN - 1011372X AB - The control and optimization of the catalytic properties of nonexpensive early transition metals is an important issue in the chemical industry. Density functional theory was employed to study the relative stability and chemical activities of molybdenum carbides, nitrides and phosphides. The results show that molybdenum phosphides display the highest reactivity toward CO and sulfur adsorption as compared to molybdenum carbides and nitrides. Considering the better catalysts, those that combine high stability and a reasonable chemical activity, we observe that the catalytic potential of these systems should increase following the sequence: Mo to −45 degrees; southern hemisphere features in the range from −30 to −50 degrees; and small southern features at −70 degrees. We find that the altitudes of the northern features are in the range from 0.023–0.064 bar, which places them in Neptune''s stratosphere. Southern features at −30 to −50 degrees are mainly at altitudes from 0.10 to 0.14 bars. The small features at −70 degrees are somewhat deeper in the upper troposphere, at 0.17 and 0.27 bars. This pattern of features located at higher altitudes in the northern hemisphere and lower altitudes in the south has also been noted by previous observers. The best fits for all the observed spectra give a value of 1.0 for the fraction of hydrogen in ortho/para equilibrium; the value of the helium fraction is less well constrained by the data at 0.24. We suggest that the southern mid-latitude features are methane haze circulated up from below, while the −70° features may be isolated areas of upwelling in a general area of subsidence. Northern bright features may be due to subsidence of stratospheric haze material rather than upwelling and condensation of methane gas. We suggest that convection efficiently transports methane ice clouds to the tropopause in the Southern mid latitudes and thus plays a key role in the stratospheric haze production cycle.

The retrieved CWV amounts are compared with the aerosol robotic network (AERONET) measurements at the Oklahoma Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program and the Stennis Space Center sites. We find no significant difference in the accuracy of the two tested methods. However, there is a considerable difference in the root mean square error (RMSE) for the CWV retrieval over the Oklahoma ARM and the Stennis Space Center sites. The overall RMSE of the MTI CWV retrieval is found to be 13% to 14%. The error is reduced to 11% to 12% for CWV amounts larger then 1 g/cm[SUP2].

The charge generated in the substrate induces displacement effect which strongly depends on the capacitor structure. Networks of capacitors are particularly sensitive to charge sharing effects. This has important implications for the reliability of SOI and DRAMs whichuse isolation oxides as a key elementary structure. The buried oxide of presentday and future SOI technologies is thick enough to avoid a significant collection from displacement effects. Ont eh other hand, the retention capacitors of trench DRAMs are particularly sensitive to charge release in the substrate. Charge collection on retention capacitors participate to the MBU sensitivity of DRAM.

The pressure transducers and accelerometers are micromachined silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and bulk silicon devices, respectively. Both sensor types experienced similar performance. degradation: a drift in offset voltage with a slight increase in sensitivity. We explain the drift in offset voltage for all sensors tested by correlating the change in resistance of the silicon piezoresistors to the formation of oxide and interface trapped hole charges. We demonstrate how these charges effectively reduce the volume for current flow through the piezoresistors due to the creation of a depletion region surrounding the periphery of the gage resistors. Differences in tie magnitude of the output voltage drift of the two sensor types are determined to be related to the unique construction of each sensor.

In these mechanisms, bimolecular reactions dominate the kinetics at high dose rates thereby causing a sub-linear dependence on total dose, and this leads. to a dose-rate dependence. These bimolecular mechanisms include electron-hole. recombination, hydrogen recapture at hydrogen source sites, and hydrogen dimerization to form hydrogen molecules. The essence of each of these mechanisms is the dominance of the bimolecular reactions over the radiolysis reaction at high dose rates. However, at low dose rates, the radiolysis reaction dominates leading to a maximum effect of the radiation.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2003/12//Dec2003 Part 1 of 2 VL - 50 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1910 EP - 1918 SN - 00189499 AB - We examine the total-dose radiation response of capacitors and transistors with stacked Al&sub2;O&sub3; On oxynitride gate dielectrics with Al and poly-Si gates after irradiation with 10 keV X-rays. The midgap voltage shift increase monotonically with dose and depends strongly on both Al&sub2;O&sub3; and SiOxNy thickness! The thinnest dielectrics, of most interest to industry, are extrenely hard to ionizing irradiation, exhibiting only ∼50 mV of shift at a total dose of 10 Mrad(SiO&sub2;) for the worst case bias condition. Oxygen anneals are found to improve the total dose radiation response by ∼SO% and induce a small amount of capacitance-voltage hysteresis. Al&sub2; O&sub3; /SiOxNy dielectrics which receive a ∼1000°C dopaut activation anneal trap ∼12% more of the initial charge than films annealed at 550°C. Charge pumping measurements show that the interface trap density decreases with dose up to 500 krad(SiO&sub2;). This surprising result is discussed with respect to hydrogen effects in alternative dielectric materials, and may be the result of radiation-induced hydrogen passivation of some of the near-interfacial defects in these gate dielectrics.

In this paper, we discuss in detail the consequences of radiation-induced single-event upsets (SEUS) in the state of half-latch structures found in Xilinx Virtex FPGAs and describe methods for mitigating the effects of half-latch SEUs. One mitigation method's effectiveness is then illustrated through experimental data gathered through proton accelerator testing at Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, University of California-Davis. For the specific design and mitigation methodology tested, the mitigated design demonstrated more than an order of magnitude improvement in reliability over the unmitigated version of the design in regards to average proton fluence until circuit failure.

The Crocker Nuclear Laboratory cyclotron proton accelerator was used to irradiate the SLAAC1-V, a Xilinx Virtex FPGA board. We also used the SLAAC1-V as the platform for a configuration bitstream SEU simulator. The simulator was used to probe the "sensitive bits" in various logic designs. The objective of the accelerator experiment was to characterize the simulator's ability to predict the behavior of a test design in the proton beam during a dynamic test. The test utilized protons at 63.3 MeV, well above the saturation cross-section for the Virtex part. Protons were chosen because, due to their lower interaction rate, we can achieve the desired upset rate of about one configuration bitstream upset per second. The design output errors and configuration upsets were recorded during the experiment and compared to results from the simulator. In summary, for an extensively tested design, the simulator predicted 97% of the output errors observed during radiation testing. The SEU simulator can now be used with confidence to quickly and affordably examine logic designs to 'map' sensitive bits, to provide assurance that incorporated mitigation techniques perform correctly, and to evaluate the costs and benefits of various mitigation strategies. The simulator provides an excellent test environment that accurately represents radiation induced configuration bitstream upsets.

The design output errors and configuration upsets were recorded during the experiment and compared to results from the simulator. In summary, for an extensively tested design, the simulator predicted 97% of the output errors observed during radiation testing. The SEU simulator can now be used with confidence to quickly and affordably examine logic designs to 'map' sensitive bits, to provide assurance that incorporated mitigation techniques perform correctly, and to evaluate the costs and benefits of various mitigation strategies. The simulator provides an excellent test environment that accurately represents radiation induced configuration bitstream upsets.

The charge collected by the terminals is a strong function of the ion striking position. The sensitive area of charge collection for each terminal is identified based on analysis of the device structure and simulation results. For a normal strike between the deep trench edges, most of the electrons and holes are collected by the collector and substrate terminals, respectively. For, an ion strike between the shallow trench edges surrounding the emitter, the base collects appreciable amount of charge. Emitter collects negligible amount of charge. Good agreement is achieved between the experimental and simulated data. Problems encountered with mesh generation and charge collection simulation are also discussed.

The data were acquired with the full range of Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamso, NM, Geostationary satellites, covering the period 1976-2001. Cross calibrations of the instruments were performed amongst themselves and referenced to CRRES observation. A model wa derived [particle ONERA-LANL electron (POLE)] valid from 30 keV up to 2.5 MeV, which takes into account the solar cycle variation. In general, lower energy (< 100 keV) electrons remain constant within 20% during a solar cycle, while the energetic (> 500 keV) electrons show variations of over an order of magnitude. It is shown that the variability of these high energy electrons can change quite drastically from one solar cycle to the next.

This paper directly compares the graphical and radiation data from high-current Z-pinches to these patterns. The paper focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on petroglyphs. It is found that a great many archaic petroglyphs can be classified according to plasma stability and Instability data. As the same morphological types are found worldwide, the comparisons suggest the occurrence of an intense aurora, as might be produced if the solar wind had increased between one and two orders of magnitude, millennia ago.

T1 - The framework for approximate queries on simulation data JO - Information Sciences JF - Information Sciences Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 157 M3 - Article SP - 3 SN - 00200255 AB - AQSim is a system intended to enable scientists to query and analyze a large volume of scientific simulation data. The system uses the state of the art in approximate query processing techniques to build a novel framework for progressive data analysis. These techniques are used to define a multi-resolution index, where each node contains multiple models of the data. The benefits of these models are twofold: (1) they have compact representations, reconstructing only the information relevant to the analysis, and (2) the variety of models capture different aspects of the data which may be of interest to the user but are not readily apparent in their raw form. To be able to deal with the data interactively, AQSim allows the scientist to make an informed tradeoff between query response accuracy and time. In this paper, we present the framework of AQSim with a focus on its architectural design. We also show the results from an initial proof-of-concept prototype developed at LLNL. The presented framework is generic enough to handle more than just simulation data.

Multilevel copper interconnection structures are used extensively in advanced integrated circuit architectures to realize a number of enhanced performance features. There is consequently great interest in developing improved methods for deposition of low-resistivity copper interconnect layers. The surface properties of a metal are ultimately defined by the nature of its oxide film. Recently, those properties are expressed in isoelectric point.

It tells us that the higher the price of an asset (within a set of similar assets), the more its price is likely to increase during the upgoing phase of a speculative price peak. In short, instead of being risk averse, as is often assumed, investors rather seem to be "risk prone". While this effect is known to hold for several sorts of assets, it has not yet been possible to test it for stocks because the price of one share has no intrinsic significance, which means that one cannot say that stock A is more expensive than stock B on the basis of its price. In this paper we show that the price-dividend ratio gives a good basis for assessing the price of stocks in an intrinsic way. When this alternative measure is used instead, it turns out that the price multiplier effect also holds for stocks, at least if one concentrates on samples of companies which are sufficiently homogeneous.

These explosions differ in their level of asymmetry and the spectral energy of the photons they emit. It is likely that such a wide range in the nature of these explosions requires more than one explosion mechanism to extract the gravitational potential energy released during the collapse. Three major classes of mechanisms have been proposed: neutrino-driven, magnetic-field driven, collapsar (black hole accretion disk) driven. This review discusses each mechanism in turn, discussing the current state-of-the-art calculations along with their observational predictions. We conclude with a summary of the current observational constraints on these models.

One of the pyrolysis techniques used for sulphur determination is atmospheric pressure–temperature programmed reduction (AP-TPR). Experiments on sulphur model compounds have served successfully as a reference for both the temperature region in which the reduction or hydrogenation occurs and the efficiency of the reduction reaction. In this study, the pyrolysis behaviour of several organic and inorganic sulphur model compounds is investigated by AP-TPR using a mass spectrometer detector interfaced with the pyrolysis reactor (AP-TPR-MS). This technique permits a more complete description of the competitive and successive reactions that are occurring during the pyrolysis of the model compounds, providing new information regarding the reduction efficiency of oxidised and non-oxidised sulphur compounds.

The electronic structure is obtained with the local spin-density approximation (LSDA), as well as with generalization of the LSDA+U method which takes into account that in the presence of spin-orbit coupling the occupation matrix of localized electrons becomes nondiagonal in spin indexes. Although, the magnetic moment at the U site of UGa[sub 2] is described better by LSDA+U than by LSDA, neither the localized LSDA+U model nor the spin-polarized LSDA 5f-itinerant band model can explain all the peculiarities of the experimental MO spectra. The LSDA gives a better description of the optical and MO spectra of UGa[sub 2] in the 0–1 eV energy interval, but for higher energies the experimental Kerr rotation curve is situated someplace in between the curves obtained by the LSDA and the LSDA+U approximations. The origin of the Kerr rotation in the compound is examined. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

To characterize this early period, this study used a 17.6-T wide-bore magnet to measure multicomponent water diffusion at high b-values (7 to 8,080 s/mm2) for rat hippocampal slices at baseline and serially for 8 hours after treatment with the calcium ionophore A23187. The mean fast diffusing water fraction (Ffast) progressively decreased for slices treated with 10-μmol/L A23187 (-20.9 ± 6.3% at 8 hours). Slices treated with 50-μmol/L A23187 had significantly reduced Ffast 80 minutes earlier than slices treated with 10-μmol/L A23187 (P < 0.05), but otherwise, the two doses had equivalent effects on the diffusion properties of tissue water. Correlative histologic analysis showed dose-related selective vulnerability of hippocampal pyramidal neurons (CA1 > CA3) to pathologic swelling induced by A23187, confirming that particular intravoxel cell populations may contribute disproportionately to water diffusion changes observed by MRI after acute brain injury. These data suggest diffusion-weighted images at high b-values and the diffusion parameter Ffast may be highly sensitive correlates of cell swelling in nervous issue after acute injury.

The resulting basis sets, which are denoted cc-pVnZ-PP, are appropriate for valence electron correlation and range in size from (8s7p7d)/[4s3p2d] for the cc-pVDZ-PP to (16s13p12d3f2g1h)/[7s7p5d3f2g1h] for the cc-pV5Z-PP sets. Benchmark calculations on selected diatomic molecules (As[sub 2], Sb[sub 2], Bi[sub 2], AsN, SbN, BiN, GeO, SnO, PbO, GaCl, InCl, TlCl, GaH, InH, and TlH) are reported using these new basis sets at the coupled cluster level of theory. Much like their all-electron counterparts, the cc-pVnZ-PP basis sets yield systematic convergence of total energies and spectroscopic constants. In several cases all-electron benchmark calculations were also carried out for comparison. The results from the pseudopotential and all-electron calculations were nearly identical when scalar relativity was accurately included in the all-electron work. Diffuse-augmented basis sets, aug-cc-pVnZ-PP, have also been developed and have been used in calculations of the atomic electron affinities. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The latter were adjusted to multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock data based on the Dirac–Coulomb–Breit Hamiltonian. The outer-core (n-1)spd shells are explicitly treated together with the nsp valence shell with these PPs. The accompanying cc-pVnZ-PP and aug-cc-pVnZ-PP basis sets range in size from DZ to 5Z quality and yield systematic convergence of both Hartree–Fock and correlated total energies. In addition to the calculation of atomic electron affinities and dipole polarizabilities of the rare gas atoms, numerous molecular benchmark calculations (HBr, HI, HAt, Br[sub 2], I[sub 2], At[sub 2], SiSe, SiTe, SiPo, KrH[sup +], XeH[sup +], and RnH[sup +]) are also reported at the coupled cluster level of theory.

Well-resolved photoelectron spectra were obtained for Fe[sub n]O[sup -] at variable detachment energies, allowing the ground state and numerous low-lying excited states of Fe[sub n]O to be observed. Sharp threshold photoelectron features were obtained for each species, which suggest rather small geometry changes between the anion and neutral ground states for the monoxide clusters and allows the electron affinities of the neutral clusters to be measured accurately. Extensive DFT calculations using the generalized gradient approximation were carried out for both Fe[sub n]O and Fe[sub n]O[sup -]. Optimized geometries of the ground and lowest excited states of both the anion and neutral species are reported along with the ground-state vibrational frequencies and fragmentation energies. Theoretical electron affinities were compared with the experimental measurements to verify the ground states of the iron monoxide clusters obtained from the DFT calculations. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Equilibrium modeling of copper uptake by ferric oxide using the traditional surface complexation model (SCM) was reasonably successful with some discrepancies especially in the acidic pH ranges and high colloid concentration cases. Good predictions of the ferric oxide charge reversals during uptake were obtained from the modeling. Based on the SCM predictions, copper removal from solution is due to the outer-sphere complexation of the first hydrolysis product, resulting in the surface-metal complex SOCuOH+. The SCM was found to be insufficient to describe copper uptake by silica particles. To address discrepancies between experimental data and SCM predictions, the SCM was modified to include attributes of the surface polymer model (SPM), which incorporates sorption of the dimeric copper species Cu2(OH)22+. The continuum model (CM) was also studied as a second modification to the SCM to include formation of surface precipitates. Both the SPM and the CM were successful in modeling copper uptake and ζ potential variations as a function of pH at various solution conditions and colloid concentrations. From the SPM and CM predictions, it was concluded that for systems with high surface loadings, copper removal from solution occurs due to the formation of both monomeric and dimeric surface complexes, as well as through precipitation mechanisms.

Our approach is to build Bayes classifiers with approximate class-conditional probability densities for measured data. The high dimension of the measurements in modern classification problems such as speech or image recognition makes inferring probability densities from feasibly sized training datasets difficult. We address the difficulty by imposing severely simplifying assumptions and exploiting a priori information about transformations to which classification should be invariant. For the face recognition task, we used a five-parameter group of such transformations consisting of rotation, shifts, and scalings. On the face recognition task, a classifier based on our techniques has an error rate that is 20% lower than that of the best algorithm in a reference software distribution.

The types of data across these problems included free text, parallel text, an image collection, remote sensing imagery, and network packets. A strategy for approaching the analysis of these diverse types of data is described. A key part of the challenge is mapping the analytic results back into the original domain and data setting. Additionally, a common computational bottleneck encountered in each of these problems is diagnosed as analysis tools and algorithms with unbounded memory characteristics. This experience and the analysis suggest a research and development path that could greatly extend the scale of problems that can be addressed with routine data analysis tools. In particular, there are opportunities associated with developing theory and functioning algorithms with favorable memory-usage characteristics, and there are opportunities associated with developing methods and theory for describing the outcomes of analyses for the various types of data.

The logic, designed around a process calculus with actions for each possible protocol step, consists of axioms about protocol actions and inference rules that yield assertions about protocols composed of multiple steps. Although assertions are written using only steps of the protocol, the logic is sound in a stronger sense: each provable assertion about an action or sequence of actions holds in any run of the protocol that contains the given actions and arbitrary additional actions by a malicious attacker. This approach lets us prove security properties of protocols under attack while reasoning only about the sequence of actions taken by honest parties to the protocol. The main security‐specific parts of the proof system are rules for reasoning about the set of messages that could reveal secret data and an invariant rule called the “honesty rule”.

The experimental results indicate a strong dependence of the effective Cs+ Kd on the concentrations of other cations, including Na+ that is present at high to extremely high concentrations in fluids leaking from the Hanford SX tanks. A strong dependence of the Cs+ Kd on the aqueous Cs+ concentration is also apparent, with retardation of Cs+ increasing from a value of 41 at a Cs+ concentration of 10−4 M in the feed solution to as much as 282 at a Cs+ concentration of 5×10−7 M, all in a background of 1 M NaNO3. The total cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the Hanford sediment was determined using 22Na isotopic equilibrium exchange in a flow-through column experiment. The value for the CEC of 120 μeq/g determined with this method is compatible with a value of 121.9 μeq/g determined by multi-cation elution. While two distinct exchange sites were proposed by Zachara et al. [Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 66 (2002) 193] based on binary batch exchange experiments, a third site is proposed in this study to improve the fit of the Cs+–Na+ and Cs+–Ca+ exchange data and to capture self-sharpened Cs+ breakthrough curves at low concentrations of Cs+. Two of the proposed exchange sites represent frayed edge sites (FES) on weathered micas and constitute 0.02% and 0.22% of the total CEC. Both of the FES show a very strong selectivity for Cs+ over Na+ (KNa–Cs=107.22 and 104.93, respectively). The third site, accounting for over 99% of the total CEC, is associated with planar sites on expansible clays and shows a smaller Na+–Cs+ selectivity coefficient of 101.99.Parameters derived from a fit of binary batch experiments alone tend to under predict Cs+ retardation in the column experiments. The transport experiments indicate 72–90% of the Cs+ sorbed in experiments targeting exchange on FES was desorbed over a 10- and 24-day period, respectively. At high Cs+ concentrations, where sorption is controlled primarily by exchange on planar sites, 95% of the Cs+ desorption was desorbed. Most of the difficulty in desorbing Cs+ from FES is a result of the extremely high selectivity of these sites for Cs+, although truly irreversible sorption as high as 23% was suggested in one experiment. The conclusion that Cs+ exchange is largely reversible in a thermodynamic sense is supported by the ability to match Cs+ desorption curves almost quantitatively with an equilibrium reactive transport simulation. The model for Cs+ retardation developed here qualitatively explains the behavior of Cs+ in the Hanford vadose zone underneath a variety of leaking tanks with differing salt concentrations. The high selectivity of FES for Cs+ implies that future desorption and migration is very unlikely to occur under natural recharge conditions.

The transport properties of these materials, though, can be greatly influenced by growth conditions. We study the effects of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition growth conditions of GaN0.02P0.98 on the unintentional incorporation of carbon and hydrogen and the room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) decay lifetime. We find the incorporation of carbon to be dominated by either the gallium source (trimethylgallium or triethylgallium) or the nitrogen source (dimethylhydrazine), depending on growth conditions. The PL decay lifetime is found to be correlated to both the carbon and hydrogen concentration. Growth temperature, gallium source, group V flux, and growth rate can all strongly influence the carbon and hydrogen impurity incorporation, and thus, the PL lifetime. In the samples with the lowest hydrogen and carbon concentrations (∼1017 cm−3), we have achieved room-temperature PL lifetimes as high as 3.0 ns.

These functions are exponential growing without bound. Tables for the natural frequencies and the corresponding normal modes are available for the numerical evaluation up to the 16th mode. For modes higher than the 16th, the accuracy of the numerical evaluation will be lost due to the round-off errors in the floating-point math imposed by the digital computers. Also, it is found that the functions of beam modes commonly presented in the structural dynamics books are not suitable for numerical evaluation. In this paper, these functions are rearranged and expressed in a different form. With these new equations, one can calculate the normal modes accurately up to at least the 100th mode. Mike’s Arbitrary Precision Math, an arbitrary precision math library, is used in the paper to verify the accuracy.

JO - Journal of Experimental Botany JF - Journal of Experimental Botany Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 54 IS - 393 M3 - Article SP - 2769 EP - 2774 SN - 00220957 AB - The initial stimulation of photosynthesis observed on elevation of [CO2] in grasslands has been predicted to be a transient phenomenon constrained by the loss of photosynthetic capacity due to other limitations, notably nutrients and sinks for carbohydrates. Legumes might be expected partially to escape these feedbacks through symbiotic N2 fixation. The Free‐Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE) experiment at Eschikon, Switzerland, has been the longest running investigation of the effects of open‐air elevation of [CO2] on vegetation. The prediction of a long‐term loss of photosynthetic capacity was tested by analysing photosynthesis in Trifolium repens L. (cv. Milkanova) in the spring and autumn of the eighth, ninth and tenth years of treatment. A high and low N treatment also allowed a test of the significance of exogenous N‐supply in maintaining a stimulation of photosynthetic capacity in the long‐term. Prior work in this Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment has revealed that elevated [CO2] increased both vegetative and reproductive growth of T. repens independent of N treatment. It is shown here that the photosynthetic response of T. repens was also independent of N fertilization under both current ambient and elevated (600 µmol mol–1) [CO2]. There was a strong effect of season on photosynthesis, with light‐saturated rates (Asat) 37% higher in spring than in autumn. Higher Asat in the spring was supported by higher maximum Rubisco carboxylation rates (Vc,max) and maximum rates of electron transport (Jmax) contributing to RuBP regeneration. Elevated [CO2] increased Asat by 37% when averaged across all measurement periods and both N fertilization levels, and decreased stomatal conductance by 25%. In spring, there was no effect of elevated [CO2] on photosynthetic capacity of leaves, but in autumn both Vc,max and Jmax were reduced by approximately 20% in elevated [CO2]. The results show that acclimation of photosynthetic capacity can occur in a nitrogen‐fixing species, in the field where there are no artificial restrictions on sink capacity. However, even with acclimation there was a highly significant increase in photosynthesis at elevated [CO2].

The regional simulation at 40-km resolution shows a lack of precipitation along coastal hills, good agreement with observations on the windward slopes of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, but overprediction on the leeside and the basins beyond. Snowpack is grossly underpredicted throughout the western United States when compared against snowpack telemetry (snotel) observations. During winter, higher spatial resolution mainly improves the precipitation simulation in the coastal hills and basins. Along the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada range, precipitation is strongly amplified at the higher spatial resolution. Higher resolution generally improves the spatial distribution of precipitation to yield a higher spatial correlation between simulations and observations. During summer, higher resolution improves not only the spatial distribution but also the regional mean precipitation. In the Olympic Mountains and along the Coastal Range, increased precipitation at higher resolution reflects mainly a shift from light to heavy precipitation events. In the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, increased precipitation is mainly associated with more frequent heavy precipitation at higher resolution. Changes in precipitation from 40- to 13-km resolution depend on synoptic conditions such as wind direction and moisture transport. The use of higher spatial resolution improves snowpack more than precipitation. However, results presented in this paper suggest that accuracy in the snow simulation is also limited by factors such as deficiencies in the land surface model or biases in other model variables.

This study aims at comparing different estimates of cold season water budgets of the Columbia River (CRB) and Sacramento–San Joaquin River (SSJ) basins. An intercomparison was performed based on the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis I (NRA1), NCEP–Department of Energy (DOE) reanalysis II (NRA2), ECMWF reanalyses (ERA), regional climate simulations produced by the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) and NCEP Regional Spectral Model (RSM) driven by the reanalyses, and two precipitation datasets gridded at 2.5° and 1/8° for 7 yr between 1986 and 1993. The purpose of the intercomparison was to understand the effects of spatial resolution, model configuration and associated parameterizations, and large-scale conditions on basin-scale water budgets. Overall, the regional simulations were superior to the global reanalyses in terms of the spatial distribution of mean precipitation and precipitation anomalies. However, cold season precipitation was generally amplified in the regional models. Basin mean precipitation was typically higher than observed in the regional models and less than observed in the reanalyses. The amplification was the largest in the RSM simulation driven by NRA2, which had the biggest difference between the reanalyzed and regional simulation of basin mean precipitation. ERA and the MM5 simulations driven by ERA provided the best basin mean precipitation estimates when compared to the 1/8° observational dataset. Large differences remain in estimating the water budgets of western river basins, such as CRB and SSJ. In terms of atmospheric moisture flux, there was a 15%–20% difference between the global reanalyses. In terms of basin mean precipitation, differences among the reanalyses, regional simulations, and observations were as large as 100% of the overall mean. There were large differences in spatial distribution of precipitation between the RSM and MM5 simulations because of terrain representations and other factors. Runoff and snowpack showed the most sensitivity to model differences in spatial resolution, physics parameterizations, and model representations. Better simulations of basin mean precipitation did not necessarily imply superior simulations of runoff or snowpack.

As the EPR probe, we utilized a 0.7 mm × 30 μm × 30 μm fiberous needle of the organic conductor N-methylphenazinium-tetracyanoquinodimethane (NMP-TCNQ), which yields an exceptionally sharp peak, with a 0.2 G (∼20 μT) width. In the presence of Mn12-Ac, the probe’s peak exhibits splitting on temperature lowering, which depends on the orientation of the Zeeman field relative to the axis of easy magnetization of the employed Mn12-Ac crystal. The shifted peaks yield the magnitude of the magnetic field from Mn12-Ac crystal to which the various fibers of the probe are subjected. In conjunction with electron microscopy, the shifts yield the field gradient at the crystal surface and its change with temperature. For Mn12-Ac at 10 K, the surface magnetic field was measured to be in the mT range and its gradient on the order of 50 T/m.

The diagonal component of the optical conductivity tensor (σxx) of the compound was obtained by SE in the 1.6–5.0 eV region and the magneto-optical parameters [Kerr rotation (θK) and ellipticity (ϵK)] by MOPKS in the 1.5–5.5 eV energy range. The magnitudes of the Kerr rotation and ellipticity of Tb(Mn1−xFex)2 for x=0.5 and 0.65 in the ultraviolet (UV) region are much larger than those of Tb(Mn1−xFex)2 for x=0.35. The origin of the difference in the spectra was explained on the basis of the electronic and magnetic properties of the compounds. The large room temperature values of the Kerr rotation in the UV region for x=0.5 and 0.65 suggests these alloys might be candidate materials for magneto-optical applications.

This study was undertaken in order to clarify the question of whether DyNi2B2C has a second, higher temperature magnetic phase transition near 16 K. HoNi2B2C has a cascade of magnetic phase transitions between 5 and 6 K. In addition to the superconducting phase transition near 9 K, three magnetic transitions (6.0, 5.5, and 5.2 K) can be easily detected in both of the thermodynamic measurements and are also seen in the electrical transport. The data taken on HoNi2B2C clearly demonstrates that multiple magnetic phase transitions can be readily detected (when they are actually present). In the case of DyNi2B2C only one magnetic phase transition (at TN∼10 K) was detected. The only other phase transition associated with the DyNi2B2C sample was the lower temperature superconducting phase transition at 6.3 K. Despite extensive data collection and analysis, no sign of any phase transition between 10 and 20 K in DyNi2B2C could be detected. This leads us to the conclusion that there is no 16 K magnetic phase transition associated with single phase, single crystal DyNi2B2C.

An internal coupling between the l=0(A1′) and l=2(E′) levels of the 2ν3 states was observed. This small perturbation results in a level crossing between |k−l|=9 and 12, in consequence of which the band origins of the A1′,l=0 “ghost” states could be determined to a high degree of accuracy. Ground and upper state rotational constants as well as vibrational anharmonicity constants are reported. The constants for the center-of-mass substituted species 32S16O3 and 34S16O3 vary only slightly, as do the constants for the 32S18O3, 34S18O3 pair. The S–O bond lengths for the vibrational ground states of the species 32S16O3, 34S16O3, 32S18O3, and 34S18O3 are, respectively, 141.981 99(1), 141.979 38(6), 141.972 78(8), and 141.969 93(8) pm, where the uncertainties, given in parentheses, are two standard deviations and refer to the last digits of the associated quantity.

Synchrotron (211) lattice strain measurements at ID11 (ESRF) were used to map in-plane components of the stress tensor acting in cross-sectional rail slices. Stress maps made using laboratory X-rays and the magnetic measurement system MAPS, although coarser in detail, show similar trends. The validity of the measured data was examined using a stress balance requirement. Whilst generally true (to ± 15 MPa), stress, balancing was worst (± 50 MPa) in regions with significant plastic deformation, suggesting that the measured (211) lattice strain had become uncharacteristic of the hulk elastic strain. Attributable to plastic anisotropy, this is a well-established issue with diffraction-based stress determination. To complement the in-plane stress measurements, the contour method was used to map the longitudinal stress component in a similar new rail sample, this component being relieved in the slices. On the basis of this result, we show that the remaining unrelieved in-plane stresses in the rail slices are a suitable approximation of those in the original rail.

Laser peening is an emerging surface treatment for metals that imparts compressive residual stress near the surface by introducing cold work. Since residual stress is a key outcome of the process, its measurement is an important process diagnostic. The first part of this work demonstrates the effects of specific laser peening process variations on the residual stress profile imparted to a corrosion-resistant nickel alloy (Alloy 22, UNS N06022). The second part of this work demonstrates measurements of a two-dimensional spatial distribution of the weld-direction residual sress component for a thick welded joint in the as-welded and laser peened conditions.

Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS), and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) in the US, and at ISIS, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in UK. However, while the multi-billion dollar constructions are on-going all around the world currently there is no concerted effort within the US in advancing the science and education in the application of neutron scattering in materials research, specifically in the study of mechanical behavior of advanced materials. To be borer positioned in the scientific research at the international level, it is important to develop a network with international counterparts. Therefore, a group of the most active researchers in the neutron-scattering materials-research field will form an international network through the International Materials Institutes (IMI)-Advanced Neutron Scattering netWork for Education and Research (ANSWER) with a focus on mechanical behavior of materials. The IMI provides a synergistic effort in advancing the fundamental understanding of mechanical behavior of materials at the atomic level using state-of-the-art neutron sources in the world.

Sol–gel materials were formed that have low surface areas (∼10 m2/g). Subsequent supercritical drying using CO2 at 40 °C produced materials that are very different than traditional aerogels, with surface areas around the same values as the corresponding sol–gels, as well as no detectable meso-pore features. In some cases, the aerogels even melted upon heating. Spectroscopic characterization, using IR, 29Si and 13C NMR revealed normal Si–O substitution as well as incorporation of the carbon substituent into the Si framework. Heating of the stable forms of the materials in air at different temperatures yielded, depending upon oxidation conditions, several materials with much higher surface areas, typical of aerogels. Pore size distribution measurements revealed meso-pore features with a narrow distribution of 37–39 A˚. Spectroscopic characterization revealed the disappearance of the R-Si substitution and the appearance of an oxidized intermediate. This paper describes the chemistry and characterization of these unusual sol–gels, aerogels, and oxidation products.

In a typical synthesis, the iron oxide precursor, FeCl3 · 6H2O, was mixed with a silica precursor, tetramethyl- or tetraethylorthosilicate, in ethanol and gelled using an organic epoxide. The composition of the resulting materials was varied from Fe/Si (mol/mol)=1–5 by adjusting the amount of silica precursor added to the FeCl3 · 6H2O solution. Further processing of the gels in supercritical CO2 resulted in monolithic, porous aerogel nanocomposite materials with surface areas ranging from 350–450 m2/g. The bulk materials are composed of iron(III) oxide/silica particles that vary in size from 5–20 nm depending on the epoxide used for gelation. Iron(III) oxide and silica dispersion throughout the bulk material is extremely uniform on the nanoscale.

The main focus was on the Raman band at 850 cm−1 (wavenumber) observed in quenched glasses. Based on the literature, the 850 cm−1 band was assigned to AlIV–O–Si units in which tetrahedral AlIV are substituted for Si in the network, creating [AlO4/2]− anions that are charge-balanced by Na+ cations. The same glasses with various temperature histories were examined with optical microscopy, scanning electron microcopy and transmission electronic microscopy. The results indicated that the 850 cm−1 Raman band was associated with nanocrystals that formed in the melts and were preserved in the quenched samples. The chemistry of these nanocrystals resembled nepheline. Models relating the intensity of the Raman band at 850 cm−1 and the liquidus temperature (TL) to glass composition revealed that a relationship exists between these two properties. An increase in B2O3 and SiO2 decreased the Raman band intensity and the TL, whereas an increase in Al2O3 and Na2O increased both properties. These effects were attributed to the influence of various oxides on the Na+–[AlO4/2]− activity in the melt.

Primary knock-on atom energy, Ep, of up to 25 keV in copper and 100 keV in iron was considered for irradiation temperatures in the range 100–900 K. Special attention was paid to comprehensive statistical treatment of the number and type of defects created in cascades by conducting multiple simulations for each value of energy and temperature. The total number of point defects per cascade is significantly lower than that predicted by the NRT model and rather similar in the two metals. The fraction of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and vacancies that agglomerate in clusters in the cascade process was analysed in detail. The clustered fraction of SIAs increases with temperature increase and is larger in copper than iron. SIA clusters have a variety of forms in both metals and, although most are glissile clusters of parallel crowdions, a significant fraction are sessile. The latter include Frank dislocation loops in copper. Tightly packed arrangements of vacancies do not form in iron, and so the fraction of clustered vacancies depends strongly on the range within which point defects are defined to be near-neighbours. Arrangements of vacancies in first-neighbour sites are common in copper. Most are irregular stacking fault tetrahedra (SFTs). In 53 simulations of cascades with Ep=25 keV at 100 K, the largest cluster formed contained 89 vacancies. The size spectrum of SFT-like clusters is similar to that found experimentally in neutron-irradiated copper, suggesting that the SFTs observed in experiment are formed directly in the cascade process.

This model is able to reproduce the characteristic swelling curve of a f.c.c. metal and the dependence of this curve with dose rate. We provide an atomistic description of the evolution of defects produced by irradiation and particularly of void nucleation. Stable, nanometer size He–vacancy complexes, created at the early stages of damage accumulation can grow under irradiation forming voids. These voids are responsible for macroscopic changes in the material, such as volume changes (void swelling). These simulations show how the initial clustering of vacancies in the cascade core influences the evolution of the microstructure and the nucleation of bubbles and voids.

A number of experimental studies in ferritic alloys, performed at higher temperatures, have shown the existence of large interstitial loops with Burgers vector 1/2〈111〉 and 〈100〉 in the bulk, which may provide a significant contribution to the hardening caused during irradiation at lower temperatures. Hardening arises from a high number density of loops, voids and small precipitates, which pin system dislocations, impeding their free glide. In this work, we review the nature of the different interstitial dislocation loops observed in α-Fe and ferritic materials, assess the effect of substitutional impurities on migrating 1/2〈111〉 clusters, and apply atomistic modeling to investigate the mechanisms of formation and growth of 〈100〉 loops from smaller cascade-produced 1/2〈1 1 1〉 and 〈1 0 0〉 in the bulk, which may provide a significant contribution to the hardening caused during irradiation at lower temperatures.

The proposed mechanism reconciles experimental observations with continuum elasticity theory and recent MD modeling of defect production in displacement cascades. In addition, the interaction of screw dislocations, known to control the low-temperature plastic response of b.c.c. materials to external stress, with 〈1 0 0〉 dislocation loops is investigated with MD, where the main physical mechanisms are identified, cutting angles estimated and a first-order estimation of the induced hardening is provided.

Firstly, a molecular dynamics technique with empirical interatomic potentials was used to determine energies for the formation and dissociation of clusters as a function of their size and He density. Both the number of He atoms and vacancies in a cluster ranged from 0 to 20. The dissociation energy of clusters showed a strong dependence on the He density, rather than the cluster size, indicating that the growth and shrinkage of clusters strongly depend on the He density. Secondly, these dissociation energies were employed in a kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulation, to explore long-time cluster behavior. The KMC simulation indicated that He can stabilize He–V clusters by suppressing thermal vacancy emission and by promoting thermal self-interstitial Fe atom emission. A preliminary KMC simulation to investigate the migration behavior of He–V clusters is also presented.

Studies of a Σ11 symmetric tilt GB reveal that transmitted dislocations result in local GB migration and disconnection formation. A classical elastic analysis makes correct predictions in one case but not another. Glissile GB dislocations are created in this process, which means that part of the transmitted dislocation is absorbed. Calculations of lattice dislocations interacting with a Σ11 asymmetric tilt GB show that the nature of the interaction depends on local GB structure and transmission is observed in some cases to occur on planes that do not have the highest resolved glide stress. Results of large-scale 3D molecular dynamic simulations are also described, investigating the interaction between dislocations nucleating from a crack tip and a number of symmetric tilt GBs in Ni. Using a line-tension model to analyze the data, it is found that the outcomes of dislocation–GB collisions can be rationalized in terms of only three geometrical parameters, in accordance with in situ TEM observations.

The statistical analysis is based on the Friedel–Kocks model and shows the validity of the Friedel relation for the critical resolved stress while a power law with different stress dependence is obtained for the average pinning distance on a stable dislocation array. The difference of the stress dependence is attributed to each model assumptions, such as stable dislocation configurations in athermal system or meta-stable configurations in thermally activated system. The SDD computational study includes thermal and strain fluctuation, predicting non-trivial fractal instability of the plastic strain. The height difference correlations of the plastic strain show that the external load causes a multifractality, and enhances the instability at higher order moments.

For those of us who choose to proceed using plant or animal models to dissect the elements of our favorite biological system, there are many classical and newer approaches available for our use, including two complementary strategies by which the discovery process is proceeding at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The ORNL has been known for six decades for its investigations of the effects of radiation and chemicals in inducing heritable mutations in mouse germ cells, and for using mouse mutations as tools for the cloning and characterization of mammalian genes. Our history and experience in making mouse models are being applied via these two complementary strategies: 1), a phenotypedriven approach, in which mice carrying random chemically-induced mutations are screened for abnormal phenotypes; and 2) a gene-driven approach in which heritable single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in preselected genes already thought likely to influence a biological system of choice can be recovered in live mice. The SNP-carrying mice can then be phenotyped for alterations in one's target biology. Both approaches have value and are necessary; while we can use mutations in genes that we already know to be of interest in our favorite biology to discover gene function, we also know that biology is full of surprise genes whose effects on our favorite biology would not be predicted and which will be identified only through phenotype screening.

Complexes B and C are additionally characterized by 1H-, 13C- and 31P-NMR and electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) studies using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent. In DMF solution adducts A and B undergo spontaneous rearrangement into the cyclopalladated complex C. Dynamic 1H-NMR study of this rearrangement as well as of the reactions of L with PdCl2 and Na2PdCl4 revealed a complex equilibrium in DMF solutions and enabled the formation mechanism of all involved species to be resolved. The complex A is immediately solvolyzed producing two molecules of intermediate M [PdCl2(L)(DMF)]. Complex M was also the first intermediate in the reaction of L with PdCl2. Once present in concentration above 10−5 mol dm−3M dimerizes very fast into chloro-bridged dimer [PdCl(μ-Cl)(L)]2 (D) which undergoes cyclopalladation and converts into the complex C. The formation of C from the intermediate D is clearly demonstrated by the concentration dependence of the cyclopalladation reaction which has order greater than one. Chloride ions, released by cyclopalladation, react with D by splitting chloro-bridge and binding to metal atoms to produce byproduct [PdCl3(L)]− (T). The same species T are formed in the reaction of L with Na2PdCl4 whereby a chloride ion is replaced by the ligand L. The complex B undergoes similar, but slower, solvolytic reaction producing M and L while further reaction steps are identical as in the solvolysis of A.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 107 IS - 48 M3 - Article SP - 10250 EP - 10260 SN - 10895639 AB - The photophysical properties of the emitting metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states of the complexes, [Os(bpy)3]2+, [Os(bpy)2(py)2]2+, and [Os(bpy)(py)4]2+ (bpy = 4-4‘-bipyridine, py = pyridine) have been characterized in aqueous solution at room temperature by absorption, emission, and Raman spectroscopies and by emission lifetimes and emission quantum yields. A spectroscopic model has been developed by using the time-dependent theory of Raman scattering, taking into account interference effects on resonance Raman profiles arising from interactions between the different ligands. A model based on the cylindrical model of Sension and Strauss provides a good fit to the data. The mode-specific vibrational parameters obtained from the spectroscopic analysis are used to calculate the vibrational contributions to the radiative and nonradiative decay rate constants for each of the complexes. These results and the experimental rate constants were used to calculate vibrationally induced electronic coupling matrix elements (Vk) for nonradiative decay and also transition moments, M, for radiative decay. For radiative decay, the average transition moment for the three complexes was 0.05Å, and for nonradiative decay, the average value of Vk was 910 cm-1. Within a reasonable margin of error, the Franck-Condon contributions are in agreement with values obtained in a previous study that used the single mode approximation and a Franck-Condon analysis of emission spectra.

The use of basis sets as large as augmented sextuple-ζ resulted in small extrapolations to the complete basis set limit in order to achieve chemical accuracy (±1 kcal/mol) in the thermodynamic properties. Complete basis set estimates were determined from several simple extrapolation formulas. In addition, four other corrections were applied to the frozen core atomization energies: (1) a zero-point vibrational correction, (2) a core/valence correlation correction, (3) a Douglas-Kroll-Hess scalar relativistic correction, and (4) a first-order atomic spin-orbit correction. For NH3 and HNO, we incorporated a fifth correction term intended to approximate the difference between coupled cluster theory and the full configuration interact result. This correction was based on coupled cluster theory through iterative quadruple excitations (CCSDTQ). Excellent agreement with experiment was found for the heats of formation of NH3, HNO, and H2O2. For NH2OH, the best current estimate of the heat of formation at 298 K is -10.1 ± 0.3 kcal/mol, which falls roughly midway between two experimental values at -12.0 ± 2.4 and -7.9 ± 1.5 kcal/mol.

FCS analysis indicates that the motion of the rhodamine 6g molecules in the mesoporous glass deviates from simple Brownian motion with a single diffusion constant. Two models, including two-component diffusion and diffusion plus adsorption, are utilized to fit the correlation data. The multicomponent diffusion model comprised of free diffusion (with a diffusion coefficient of 4.89 × 10-7 cm2/s) and transient adsorption/desorption (desorption time of 67 ms) provides the best fit and the most plausible explanation of the correlation data. Possible explanations for the shift to multicomponent diffusion, such as restriction of the dye molecules within the pores of the glass, as well as increased viscosity and adsorption at the surface, are presented.

Results indicate that ferrite ZnFe2O4 initially transforms to an orthorhombic structure phase (CaFe2O4-polymorph) at a pressure of 24.6 GPa. Such a phase transformation is complete at 34.2 GPa, and continuously remains stable to the peak pressure of 61.9 GPa. The coexistence of the two phases over a wide range of pressure implies a sluggish mechanism upon the spinel-to-orthorhombic phase transition. Upon release of pressure, the high pressure ZnFe2O4 polymorph is quenchable at ambient conditions.

SN - 00224715 AB - We show that Kolmogorov multipliers in turbulence cannot be statistically independent of others at adjacent scales (or even a finite range apart) by numerical simulation of a shell model and by theory. As the simplest generalization of independent distributions, we suppose that the steady-state statistics of multipliers in the shell model are given by a translation-invariant Gibbs measure with a short-range potential, when expressed in terms of suitable “spin” variables: real-valued spins that are logarithms of multipliers and XY-spins defined by local dynamical phases. Numerical evidence is presented in favor of the hypothesis for the shell model, in particular novel scaling laws and derivative relations predicted by the existence of a thermodynamic limit. The Gibbs measure appears to be in a high-temperature, unique-phase regime with “paramagnetic” spin order.

The solutions demonstrate that boundary conditions suggested for the LANS-α equations in the literature(1) for a bounded domain do not apply in a semi-infinite domain. The convergence to solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations as α → 0 is elucidated for infinite-energy solutions in a semi-infinite domain, and non-uniqueness of these solutions is discussed. We also study the boundary layer approximation of LANS-α equations, denoted the Prandtl-α equations, and report solutions for turbulent jets and wakes. Our version of the Prandtl-α equations includes an extra term necessary to conserve linear momentum and corrects an earlier result of Cheskidov.(2) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Statistical Physics is the property of Springer Science & Business Media B.V. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Two cross-sectionally intact fragments of a Lytechinus variegatus tooth were studied with synchrotron microCT (microcomputed tomography) with 1.66 μm voxels (volume elements). These fragments were from the plumula, that is the tooth zone with rapidly increasing levels of mineral; one fragment was from a position aboral of where the keel developed and the second was from the zone where the keel was developing. The primary plates, secondary plates, carinar process plates, prisms, and elements of the lamellar–needle complex were resolved. Comparison of the microCT data with optical micrographs of stained thin sections confirmed the identifications and measured dimensions of the characteristic microarchitectural features. The interplay of reinforcing structures (plates and prisms) was more clearly revealed in the volumetric numerical data sets than in single or sequential slices. While it is well known that the primary plates and prisms in camarodont teeth are situated to improve resistance to bending (which can be termed primary bending), the data presented provide a new understanding of the mechanical role of the carinar process plates, that is, a geometry consistent with that required in the keel to resist lateral or transverse bending of the tooth about a second axis. The increase in robustness of teeth incorporating lateral keel reinforcement suggests that the relative development of carinar processes (toward a geometry similar to that of L. variegatus) is a character which can be used to infer which sea urchins among the stirodonts are most primitive and among the camarodonts which are more primitive.

In proposed methodology, the conditional behaviors are represented by hierarchical conditional dependency graphs (HCDG) and synthesized using derived constraints programming (CP) models. Our synthesis methods exploit multicycle operations and chaining as well as conditional resource sharing and speculative execution at the same time. We assign both functional units and registers while making possible to conditionally share these components. These techniques are essential in HLS and the experiments carried out using the developed prototype system showed good performance of the synthesized designs and proved the feasibility of the presented approach.

The effects of oxygen partial pressure on the nucleation behavior of the CVD-ZrO[sub 2] coating were systematically studied by intentionally varying the controlled amount of O[sub 2] into the CVD chamber. Characterization results suggested that the number density of tetragonal ZrO[sub 2] nuclei apparently decreased with increasing the oxygen partial pressure from 4 × 10[sup -3] to 1.6 Pa. Also, the coating layer became more columnar and contained larger monoclinic ZrO[sub 2] grains. The observed relationships between the oxygen partial pressure and the nucleation and morphologic characteristics of the ZrO[sub 2] coating were attributed to the grain size and oxygen deficiency effects, which have been previously reported to cause the stabilization of the tetragonal ZrO[sub 2] phase in bulk ZrO[sub 2] specimens.

X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements were performed on isolated eutectic domains to measure the residual strain and stress tensors. Maximum principal residual stresses on the order of 1 GPa were recorded, with the Co[sub 1-x]Ni[sub x]O and the ZrO[sub 2](CaO) phases maintaining states of tensile and compressive stress, respectively. The stress tensors for these materials are compared with measurements for similar DSE oxide systems and suggest that solid solution DSEs might be used to tailor the residual stress states in DSE composites.

The sampling time in this apparatus can be varied from hundreds of microseconds to tens of seconds, enabling the investigation of kinetics of ion decomposition over an extended range of decomposition rates. RRKM-based modeling of these reactions for a set of polyalanines demonstrates that SID kinetics of these simple peptides is very similar to slow, multiple-collision activation and that the distribution of internal energies following collisional activation is indistinguishable from a thermal distribution. For more complex peptides comprised of several amino acids and with internal degrees of freedom (DOF) of the order of 350 there is a dramatic change in kinetics in which RRKM kinetics is no longer capable of describing the decomposition of these complex ions. A combination of RRKM kinetics and the “sudden death” approximation, according to which decomposition occurs instantaneously, is a satisfactory description. This implies that a population of ions—which is dependant on the nature of the peptide, kinetic energy and sampling time—decomposes on or very near the surface. The shattering transition is described quantitatively for the limited set of molecules examined to date.

The surface is obtained by fitting to 1229 RCCSD(T)/SDB-cc-pVQZ energy points. The equilibrium geometry of HXeOH is determined to have a trans configuration with a nearly collinear HXeO bond angle of 177.32 degrees. The well depth of this minimum is only 0.6123 eV with respect to the OH+Xe+H dissociation limit. The results show that the H–Xe stretching frequency of HXeOH and HXeOD has an anomalous isotopic shift upon [sup 18]O isotope substitution, whereas the D–Xe stretch in DXeOH and DXeOD displays a normal isotopic shift. This trend is consistent with the experimental observations in a Xe solid matrix. The present results predict a lower frequency for the H–Xe stretch than was observed in the solid matrix experiment. Either these results are too low or there is a strong blue shift due to the matrix in the experimental values.

T1 - An innovative dosimetric model for formulating a semi-analytical solution for the activity-volume relationship in prostate implants JO - Medical Dosimetry JF - Medical Dosimetry Y1 - 2003///Winter2003 VL - 28 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 243 EP - 253 SN - 09583947 AB - An innovative (and yet simple) dosimetric model is proposed that provides a semi-analytical solution to the total activity-volume relationship in ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate implant. This dosimetric model is based on 4 simple assumptions. First, the prostate target volume is approximated as a sphere. Second, the urethra is presumed to transverse through the center of the prostate target volume. Third, peripheral loading is applied as the seed-loading technique. Fourth, as the major innovation of the proposed model, the radial dose function of the Iodine-125 125I seed is forced to fit a simple power function of the distance r. Pursuant to the third assumption, the peripherally-loaded seeds also define a spherical volume defined as the loading volume w. Also pursuant to the fourth assumption, the radial dose function is expressed as 1.139*r-0.474 for r = 1.5 to 2.5 cm. Thereafter, a simple analytical power-law equation, A = 1.630* w0.825, for the relationship between the total activity A in mCi and the loading volume w in cc is derived for 125I monotherapy. Isodose plans for loading volumes corresponding to r = 1.5, 1.8, 2.2, and 2.5 cm were performed. The maximal isodose coverage volume maxV100 was calculated for each case and was found to be on the average 65% larger than the loading volume w. Matching prostate target volume V to the loading volume w therefore yields a generous implant (with a margin of approximately 3.3 mm). Conversely, matching the prostate target volume V to the maxV100 yields a tight implant (with 0.0 mm or no margin). Matching the prostate target volume V to a midpoint between the loading volume w and maxV100 yields a moderate implant (with approximately 1- to 2-mm margin). Three individual equations are derived for each type of implants: A = 1.630* V0.825, A = 1.288* V0.825, or A = 1.078 V0.825 for generous, tight, or moderate implants, respectively. Patient data at the Chicago Prostate Cancer Center are found to support the above dosimetric model and the 3 semi-analytically derived equations. The above equations are also compared favorably with some of the previously published equations from other authors. These results support the efficacy of the proposed dosimetric model.

The PdxNi(80−x)P(20) system is a prototype for a whole class of BMG formers which are 80% transition metal and 20% metalloid. We find that the structure of these BMGs could be explained in terms of those of glasses at the end of the BMG range, namely, Pd60Ni20P20 and Pd30Ni50P20. The binary phosphide crystals near x=0 and 80 are found to be simulate very well the local atomic structure of Pd30Ni50P20 and Pd60Ni20P20 glasses, respectively. The best glass former in this series, Pd40Ni40P20, is best described by a weighted average of Pd30Ni50P20 and Pd60Ni20P20 structures.

JO - Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Global Change JF - Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Global Change Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 8 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 323 EP - 348 SN - 13812386 AB - To participate in the potential market for carbon credits based on changes in the use and management of the land, one needs to identify opportunities and implement land-use based emissions reductions or sequestration projects. A key requirement of land-based carbon (C) projects is that any activity developed for generating C benefits must be additional to business-as-usual. A rule-based model was developed and used that estimates changes in land-use and subsequent carbon emissions over the next twenty years using the Eastern Panama Canal Watershed (EPCW) as a case study. These projections of changes in C stocks serve as a baseline to identify where opportunities exist for implementing projects to generate potential C credits and to position Panama to be able to participate in the emerging C market by developing a baseline under scenarios of business-as-usual and new-road development. The projections show that the highest percent change in land use for the new-road scenario compared to the business-as-usual scenario is for urban areas, and the greatest cause of C emission is from deforestation. Thus, the most effective way to reduce C emissions to the atmosphere in the EPCW is by reducing deforestation. In addition to affecting C emissions, reducing deforestation would also protect the soil and water resources of the EPCW. Yet, under the current framework of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), only credits arising from reforestation are allowed, which after 20 years of plantation establishment are not enough to offset the C emissions from the ongoing, albeit small, rate of deforestation in the EPCW. The study demonstrates the value of spatial regional projections of changes in land cover and C stocks: • The approach helps a country identify its potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emission liabilities into the future and provides opportunity for the country to plan alternative development pathways. • It could be used by potential project developers to identify which types of projects will generate the largest C benefits and provide the needed baseline against which a project is then evaluated. • Spatial baselines, such as those presented here, can be used by governments to help identify development goals. • The development of such a baseline, and its expansion to other vulnerable areas, well positions Panama to respond to the future market demand for C offsets. • It is useful to compare the projected change in land cover under the business-as-usual scenario to the goals set by Law 21 for the year 2020. Suggested next steps for analysis include using the modeling approach to explore land-use, C dynamics and management of secondary forests and plantations, soil C gains or losses, sources of variability in the land use and C stock projections, and other ecological implications and feedbacks resulting from projected changes in land cover.

JO - Molecular & Cellular Biology JF - Molecular & Cellular Biology Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 23 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 8440 EP - 8449 SN - 02707306 AB - Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase responsible for the maintenance of one strand of the telomere terminal repeats. The catalytic protein subunit of the telomerase complex, known as TERT, possesses a reverse transcriptase (RT) domain that mediates nucleotide addition. The RT domain of TERT is distinguishable from retroviral and retrotransposon RTs in having a sizable insertion between conserved motifs A and B', within the so-called fingers domain. Sequence analysis revealed the existence of conserved residues in this region, named IFD (insertion in fingers domain). Mutations of some of the conserved residues in Saccharomyces cerevisiae TERT (Est2p) abolished telomerase function in vivo, testifying to their importance. Significant effects of the mutations on telomerase activity in vitro were observed, with most of the mutants exhibiting a uniform reduction in activity regardless of primer sequence. Remarkably, one mutant manifested a primer-specific defect, being selectively impaired in extending primers that form short hybrids with telomerase RNA. This mutant also accumulated products that correspond to one complete round of repeat synthesis, implying an inability to effect the repositioning of the DNA product relative to the RNA template that is necessary for multiple repeat addition. Our results suggest that the ability to stabilize short RNA-DNA hybrids is crucial for telomerase function in vivo and that this ability is mediated in part by a more elaborate fingers domain structure.

T1 - The Structure of the APPBP1-UBA3-NEDD8-ATP Complex Reveals the Basis for Selective Ubiquitin-like Protein Activation by an E1 JO - Molecular Cell JF - Molecular Cell Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 12 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1427 SN - 10972765 AB - E1 enzymes initiate ubiquitin-like protein (ubl) transfer cascades by catalyzing adenylation of the ubl''s C terminus. An E1''s selectivity for its cognate ubl is essential because the E1 subsequently coordinates the ubl with its correct downstream pathway. We report here the structure of the 120 kDa quaternary complex between human APPBP1-UBA3, a heterodimeric E1, its ubl NEDD8, and ATP. The E1 selectively recruits NEDD8 through a bipartite interface, involving a domain common to all ubl activating enzymes including bacterial ancestors, and also eukaryotic E1-specific sequences. By modeling ubiquitin into the NEDD8 binding site and performing mutational analysis, we identify a single conserved arginine in APPBP1-UBA3 that acts as a selectivity gate, preventing misactivation of ubiquitin by NEDD8''s E1. NEDD8 residues that interact with E1 correspond to residues in ubiquitin important for binding the proteasome and other ubiquitin-interacting proteins, suggesting that the conjugation and recognition machineries have coevolved for each specific ubl.

For 17 levels, no previous experimental data exist. These results have allowed the testing of new theoretical calculations with the relativistic Hartree–Fock method taking configuration interactions and core-polarization effects into account, and a satisfying agreement has been found for this complex ion. A new set of calculated oscillator strengths, accurate within a few per cent for the strongest transitions, is presented for 107 lines of astrophysical interest appearing in the wavelength range 358.0–1100.0 nm. These results will be useful to evaluate abundance values of neodymium in chemically peculiar stars in relation with cosmochronology.

The dynamics are also central to the behaviour of the growth of large-scale structure, offering the possibility that observations of structure formation provide a sensitive probe of the cosmology and dark energy characteristics. In particular, dark energy with a time-varying equation of state can have an influence on structure formation stretching back well into the matter-dominated epoch. We analyse this impact, first calculating the linear perturbation results, including those for weak gravitational lensing. These dynamical models possess definite observable differences from constant equation of state models. Then we present a large-scale numerical simulation of structure formation, including the largest volume to date involving a time-varying equation of state. We find the halo mass function is well described by the Jenkins et al. mass function formula. We also show how to interpret modifications of the Friedmann equation in terms of a time-variable equation of state. The results presented here provide steps toward realistic computation of the effect of dark energy in cosmological probes involving large-scale structure, such as cluster counts, the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich effect or weak gravitational lensing.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 3 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1651 EP - 1655 SN - 15306984 AB - The integration of active transport into nanodevices greatly expands the scope of their applications. Molecular shuttles represent a nanoscale transport system driven by biomolecular motors that permits the transport of molecular cargo under user-control and along predefined paths. Specifically, we utilize functionalized microtubules as shuttles, which may be transported by kinesin motor proteins along photolithographically defined tracks on a surface. While it was thought that efficient guiding along these tracks requires a combination of surface chemistry and topography, we show here that channel-like tracks with a particular wall geometry can be created to efficiently guide microtubules in the absence of selectively adsorbed motor proteins. This new wall geometry consists of an undercut 200 nm high at the bottom of the channel wall fabricated by image reversal photolithography using AZ5214 photoresist. Microtubules move unencumbered in the undercut, suggesting applications for nanofluidic systems and for in vitro motility assays mimicking the restricted environment characteristic of intracellular transport. Because adsorbed kinesin supports motility on top and bottom surfaces of the guiding channels, this guiding mechanism may serve as a first step toward the development of three-dimensional architectures.

Characterization of the interdot coupling as a function of interdot distance is essential. Using time-resolved THz spectroscopy, we report a six-fold increase in the transient photoconductivity in disordered arrays of 3.2 nm diameter InP NPs separated by 0.9 nm compared to arrays with 1.8 nm separation. Photoconductivity in the arrays is compared to that of isolated NPs and InP epilayers. The epilayer samples exhibit bulk transport behavior while the NP samples do not.

However, there has been no systematic theoretical analysis of their operation and performance. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model to analyze the performance of two classes of heterojunction solar cells composed of ordered nanostructures. Based on the simulations, we conclude that in order to obtain reasonable efficiencies, the size and spacing of the nanostructures must be on the order of the exciton diffusion length scale. Possible quantum and other confinement effects are qualitatively discussed.

By inserting diverse antibody binding loops into four of the exposed loops at one end of green fluorescent protein (GFP), we have mimicked the natural antibody binding footprint to create robust binding ligands that combine the advantages of antibodies (high affinity and specificity) with those of GFP (intrinsic fluorescence, high stability, expression and solubility). These 'fluorobodies' have been used effectively in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), flow cytometry, immuno-fluorescence, arrays and gel shift assays, and show affinities as high as antibodies. Furthermore, the intrinsic fluorescence of fluorobodies correlates with binding activity, allowing the rapid determination of functionality, concentration and affinity. These properties render them especially suitable for the high-throughput genomic scale selections required in proteomics, as well as in diagnostics, target validation and drug development.

Since the emergence of metabolic engineering science in the early 1980s, the field has made notable strides not only at a conceptual level, but also with regard to translating these concepts into practical products and processes. Today, metabolic engineering plays an important role in the generation of fuels from renewable resources, the conversion of agricultural raw materials (for example, corn syrup) into bulk and specialty chemicals, and the discovery, development and scale-up of therapeutically useful products. This article focuses on recent advances in the last category. Specifically, we review the impact that converging developments in genetic engineering and biosynthetic chemistry are having on natural-product drug discovery.

In addition, we explored the hypotheses that GABAergic pathways as well as molecular targets beyond the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex (ie dopamine transporter proteins, DAT) contribute to PCP's effects. In the first series of experiments, 11C-raclopride was administered at baseline and 30 min following intravenous PCP administration. In the second series of studies, γ-vinyl GABA (GVG) was used to assess whether enhanced GABAergic tone altered NMDA antagonist-induced changes in DA. Animals received an initial PET scan followed by pretreatment with GVG (300 mg/kg), then PCP 30 min prior to a second scan. Finally, we explored the possible contributions of DAT blockade to PCP-induced increases in DA. By examining 11C-cocaine binding a paradigm in which PCP was coadministered with the radiotracer, we assessed the direct competition between these two compounds for the DAT. At 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg, PCP decreased 11C-raclopride binding by 2.1, 14.9 ± 2.2 and 8.18 ± 1.1%, respectively. These effects were completely attenuated by GVG (3.38 ± 3.1% decrease in 11C-raclopride binding). Finally, PCP (0.5 mg/kg) decreased 11C-cocaine binding by 25.5 ± 4.3%, while at 1.0 mg/kg this decrease was 13.5%, consistent with a competitive interaction at the DAT. These results suggest that PCP may be exerting some direct effects through the DAT and that GABA partially modulates NMDA-antagonist-induced increases in striatal DA.

ACBAR was installed on the 2 m Viper telescope at the South Pole in January 2001 and the results presented here incorporate data through July 2002. We present the power spectrum of the CMB at 150 GHz over the range ℓ=150–3000 measured by ACBAR as well as estimates for the values of the cosmological parameters within the context of ΛCDM models. We find that the inclusion of ΩΛ greatly improves the fit to the power spectrum. We also observe a slight excess of small-scale anisotropy at 150 GHz; if interpreted as power from the SZ effect of unresolved clusters, the measured signal is consistent with CBI and BIMA within the context of the SZ power spectrum models tested.

The second LDB flight of Boomerang took place in January 2003. The primary goal of this flight was to measure the polarization of the CMB. The receiver uses polarization sensitive bolometers at 145 GHz. Polarizing grids provide polarization sensitivity at 245 and 345 GHz. We describe the Boomerang telescope noting changes made for 2003 LDB flight, and discuss some of the issues involved in the measurement of polarization with bolometers. Lastly, we report on the 2003 flight and provide an estimate of the expected results.

Premature aging in the Run 1 chamber was observed after only 0.02 C/cm. After cleaning much of the gas system and making modifications to reduce aerosols from the alcohol bubbler, the observed aging rate fell dramatically in test chambers. Considerable effort has been made to better understand the factors that affect aging since the replacement chamber for Run 2 will accumulate about 1.0 C/cm. Current test chambers using the full CDF gas system show aging rates of less than 5%/C/cm.

The aging phenomenon of gold-plated tungsten wires with diameters 25, 30 and 35 μm with accumulated charges up to 9 C/cm was studied thoroughly. Aging tests were carried out with different gas mixtures: 70% Xe+10% CO2+20% CF4, 60% Ar+30% CO2+10% CF4, 40% Ar+40% CO2+20% C2H2F4, and 60% Ar+30% CO2+10% C2H2F4. As a result of the aging process, the gold coating on the wires was damaged, and the wire diameter increased. For the first two gas mixtures, the wire swelling effect was concentrated only in the center of the irradiated zone. In comparison, the performance deterioration in the mixtures containing C2H2F4 proved to be quite different. The gold coating on the wires was damaged, but outside the irradiating area. Large deposits were found on the wire surface, both in the vicinity of the irradiated zone and downstream of the gas flow. All deposits contained tungsten and oxygen, resulting in the local increase of the wire diameter by 36% (from 30 to 41 μm). Our data show that both aforementioned aging effects have a similar reason: the swelling of the wire material that creates forces within the anode wire and cracks the gold coating.

About 2000 m2 of RPC chambers have been working at SLAC since the end of 1998. We report on the performances of the RPC chambers focusing on new problems discovered in the RPC behaviour. These problems started very soon after the installation of the chambers on the detector when the high-ambient temperature triggered an increase of dark currents inside the chambers and a reduction of the efficiency. Careful analysis of the BaBar data and dedicated R&D efforts in the laboratory have helped to identify the main source of the trouble in the linseed oil varnish on the bakelite electrodes.

We show that the power counting is complicated by the appearance of two scales inside loop integrals. Hard dense loops involve the large scale μ2 and lead to phenomena such as screening and damping at the scale . Soft loops only involve small scales and lead to superfluidity and non-Fermi liquid behavior at exponentially small scales. Four-fermion operators in the effective theory are suppressed by powers of 1/μ, but they get enhanced by hard loops. As a consequence their contribution to the pairing gap is only suppressed by powers of the coupling constant, and not powers of 1/μ. We determine the coefficients of four-fermion operators in the effective theory by matching quark–quark scattering amplitudes. Finally, we introduce a perturbative scheme for computing corrections to the gap parameter in the superfluid phase.

In the compromise model, agents with sufficiently close real-valued opinions average their opinions. A steady state is reached with a finite number of isolated, noninteracting opinion clusters (“parties”). As the initial opinion range increases, the number of such parties undergoes a periodic bifurcation sequence, with alternating major and minor parties. In the constrained voter model, there are leftists, centrists, and rightists. A centrist and an extremist can both become centrists or extremists in an interaction, while leftists and rightists do not affect each other. The final state is either consensus or a frozen population of leftists and rightists. The evolution in one dimension is mapped onto a constrained spin-1 Ising chain with zero-temperature Glauber kinetics. The approach to the final state exhibits a nonuniversal long-time tail.

This is due to avoiding the nucleation of undesirable a-axis grains at lower temperatures, from 650 to 800 °C in p(O2)=0.1%. Minimizing time spent in this range during the temperature ramp of the ex situ growth process depresses a-axis grain growth in favor of the desired c-axis orientation. Using optimized conditions, this results in high-quality YBCO films on LaAlO3(1 0 0) with Jc(77 K) ∼ 3 MA/cm2 for films thicknesses ranging from 60 to 140 nm. In particular, there is a dramatic decrease in a-axis grains in coated-conductors grown on CSD Nb-doped SrTiO3(1 0 0) buffered Ni(1 0 0) tapes.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of the final films indicated that the films were almost pure biaxially textured Bi-2212 films. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of omega and phi scans were about 1.7° and 1.1°, respectively. In magnetization measurements, Tc of 79 K and Jc of 0.58 MA/cm2 (4.2 K, 0 T) and 44 kA/cm2 (50 K, 0 T) were observed. The mechanism of the convention of Bi-2201 phase to Bi-2212 phase during the annealing process was discussed, the length scale for the current flow in Bi-2212 film was calculated from the differential susceptibility dm/dH during re-penetration of magnetic field, and the residual stress in the films were estimated from XRD θ–2θ scans.

The magnetic moment and charge radius of the proton and neutron are derived. The predicted proton magnetic moment is µp = {4 α[1 - {me/(mpw)}²]1/2 /3w} µN = 2.792 705 µN, where µN is the nuclear magneton and α = 1/137.035 999 76 is the fine-structure constant. The fraction of the proton's mass that is electromagnetic is w = 1 - [2 √3 ][ln (4/3)] = 0.003 440 07 or 3.2277 MeV, and me/mp is the electron/ proton mass ratio. This magnetic moment prediction is remarkably accurate: 0.0051% error versus measurement. The proton's predicted charge radius is 0.892 249 fm, in excellent agreement with experiment. The neutron's predicted magnetic moment is -1.913 036 7 µN, versus -1.913 042 7 ± 0.000 000 5µN measured. The neutron's predicted mean square charge radius is -0.110 40 fm², versus ( -0.1161 ± 0.0022) fm² measured. The neutron's predicted magnetic moment weighted radius is 0.825 23 fm, versus (0.83 ± 0.02) fm measured. The model predicts m(φ0) = (1/2)mp ln (4/3)[1 + 2 α²] = (134.976 390 ± 0.000 005) MeV, versus (134.9766 ± 0.0006) MeV measured. The proton is predicted to be stable, while the free neutron is not able to achieve hydrodynamic stability. A physical explanation for the origin of mass is obtained.

Les moments magnétiques et les rayons de charge du proton et du neutron sont dérivés. Le moment magnétique du proton est µp = 4 α[1 - {me/(mpw)}²]1/2 /(3w) mN = 2,792 705 µN d'où µN est le magnéton nucléaire et α = 1/137,035 999 76 est le constant de la structure fine. La fraction électromagnétique de la masse du proton est w = 1 - [2 √3 ][ln (4/3)] = 0,003 440 07 ou 3,2277 MeV, et me/mp est le rapport des masses de l'électron et du proton. Cette prédiction du moment magnétique est remarquablement précise puisque l'erreur n'est que de 0,0051% relatif à la valeur expérimentale. La valeur prédite du rayon de charge du proton est 0,892 249 fm, en accord avec la valeur expérimentale. La valeur du moment magnétique du neutron est -1,913 036 7 µN comparé à la valeur expérimentale de -1,9130427 ± 0,000 000 5 µN. La valeur quadratique moyenne du rayon de charge du neutron est -0,110 40 fm², comparé à la valeur mesurée de (-0,1161 ± 0,0022) fm². La valeur moyenne du rayon du neutron pondérée par son moment magnétique est 0,825 23 fm, comparé à la valeur mesurée de (0,83 ± 0,02) fm. Le modèle prédit que m(φ0 ) = (1/2)mp ln(4/3)[1 +2 α²] = (134,976 390 ± 0,000 005) MeV, comparé à la valeur mesurée de (134,9766 ± 0,0006) MeV. Le modèle prédit que le proton est stable alors que le neutron libre est incapable de réaliser une stabilité hydrodynamique. Une explication physique pour l'origine de la masse est obtenue.

The experiment was performed at Jefferson Laboratory at an incident electron energy of 4.05 GeV. A large pion production yield has been observed in the kinematical region 1.1 < Q[sup 2] < 1.8 GeV[sup 2], from the threshold to 200-MeV excitation energy in the dπ[sup 0] system. The Q[sup 2] dependence is compared with theoretical predictions.© 2003 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

Following Hegna and Nakajima [Phys. Plasmas 5, 1336 (1998)], a two-dimensional family of equilibria is constructed by perturbing the pressure and rotational-transform profiles in the vicinity of a flux surface for a given stellarator equilibrium. The perturbations are constrained to preserve the MHD equilibrium condition. For each perturbed equilibrium, the infinite-n ballooning stability is calculated. Marginal stability diagrams are thus constructed that are analogous to (s,α) diagrams for axisymmetric configurations. A quasiaxisymmetric stellarator is considered. Calculations of stability boundaries generally show regions of instability can occur for either sign of the average magnetic shear. Additionally, regions of second-stability are present. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

An important role of the l=0 resonance (l is the number of a cyclotron harmonic) in the wave–particle interaction is revealed: It is shown that this resonance considerably extends an unstable region in the space of the pitch-angles of the energetic ions and the wave frequencies. The analysis is carried out for a “slow” instability, which has the growth rate less than the bounce frequency of the energetic ions. Specific examples relevant to the National Spherical Torus Experiment [Spitzer et al., Fusion Technol. 30, 1337 (1996)], where instabilities of this kind were observed, are considered. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Plasmas 9, 3573 (2002)]. The length of this DH is varied from 5 to 20 mm, keeping the mass/unit length constant in an effort to study the scaling of axial radiation power with length, and better understand its production. Measurements show a greater variation in this power with length than would be expected from simple arguments [Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 8, 1673 (2001)]. Maximum axial power of ∼10 TW is produced with a length of ∼7.5 mm, similar to the typical power for the baseline 10 mm DH. The decreasing axial power (at a rate of ∼0.65 TW per mm at longer lengths) is bounded by radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations [Peterson et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 2178 (1999)] that include the development of the magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability in the r–z plane. The dramatic drop in axial power below 7.5 mm, by contrast, was unanticipated. This decrease suggests the presence of differing mechanisms for limiting power at short and long lengths. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Such an irradiation simulates the effects of large alpha radiation doses. A mass spectrometer linked directly to the sample chamber allowed the analysis of volatile species evolved as a result of exposure. The polydimethylsiloxane rubber showed high resistance to radiation damage when exposed to He2+ ions at doses up to 3.5 MGy. At higher doses, the cyclic hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane was evolved and is indicative of damage to the main chain. The cyclic octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane was only observed at very high doses (10 MGy and above) and is indicative of significant head-to-tail unzipping reactions. Methane, benzene and carbon dioxide were the three main gases evolved. The ratio of phenyl (2%) to methyl groups (93%) within RTV5370 rubber is very small but the amount of benzene evolved was found to be significant. The results suggest that the aromatic groups within the rubber appear to have a much greater susceptibility to radiation induced volatile evolution than other groups making up the polymer structure. In addition, the depletion of phenyl groups (from the reduction in evolution of benzene) from the irradiated zone corresponds to an increase in damage of the siloxane linkages (from the increased evolution of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane) suggesting the aromatic groups offer a protective action from the incident radiation.

In the current work, the oxidation behaviour of a prototype ODS Fe[sub 3]Al alloy and a commercial FeCrAl alloy has been studied during simulation of these temperature and pressure regimes. After the high temperature 'soak' simulation, oxidation had taken place on both alloys with a significantly thicker scale forming on the ODS Fe[sub 3]Al. This scale is believed to be the source of much of the high alumina content found in fully consolidated ODS Fe[sub 3]Al. Variation in the amount of particulate alumina found in different batches of commercially consolidated powder is discussed. Novel processes involving hydrogen purging and powder precompaction have been employed to decrease oxidation and thereby increase sintering efficiency.

A framework that emerged from the conference is depicted by a matrix that categorizes different types of benefits. The rows of the matrix reflect the goals of the department, and the columns reflect the timeframe and level of certainty. The conference suggested many approaches for estimating the benefits within each category and also noted many challenges in making these estimates.

The technique is demonstrated with a mica crystal for Bragg angles of 43°, 47°, and 50°. The measured integrated reflectivity for Bragg reflections up to the 24th order is compared with theoretical predictions, which are also presented in this article. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Specifically, we propose designs for single shot curvature wave-front sensors capable of quantitatively determining the electron density present in a high density plasma. Wave optics simulations of the proposed designs are presented and are shown to quantitatively reconstruct the phase of a light beam passing through the simulated plasma. A laboratory demonstration of the single shot curvature wave-front sensor is also presented. For this demonstration, a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator is used to introduce a spatially varying phase, thus simulating a phase profile that could occur when a probe passes through a plasma. The phase change measured by the curvature sensor is then computed and shown to accurately reproduce the phase written to the spatial light modulator. Merits associated with the use of a curvature sensor are also discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

By sweeping the plasma edge, each chord of each diagnostic sweeps out a portion of the light emission profile. A nonlinear least-squares fit to such data provides superior cross-calibration of diagnostics located at different toroidal locations compared with simple surveying. Another advantage of the technique is that it can be used to monitor the position of viewing chords during an experimental campaign to ensure that alignment does not change over time. Moverover, should such a change occur, the data can still be cross-calibrated and its usefulness retained. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The probe is designed to withstand extreme thermal shock, plasma corrosion, and be vacuum sanitary, which is accomplished with a machinable boron nitride shell. The novel miniature design, with an inner detecting area of 0.79 cm[sup 2], allows accurate position detection of plasma current channels with ≈2 cm radius and to measure local current density profiles. The temporal resolution (<1 μs) is sufficiently high to resolve the dynamic evolution of RSX plasma current channels. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

These temperatures coincide, respectively, with the bulk rotational, surface rotational, and quenched disorder structural phase transitions of crystalline C60. Films of other metals on C60 show similar behavior. Our findings demonstrate that thin metal film overlayers are sensitive probes of the structural phase transitions in C60, and also provide evidence for a novel structural-electronic interaction at the metal/C60 interface.

It is shown that with the charge state change of the vacancy, a strong lattice relaxation, swing from one to the other side of the un-relaxed position, is found for the nearest W ions, accompanied by large changes in the electronic structure of the vacancy. It is found that an oxygen vacancy in WO3 gives rise to three types of defect states: a donor-like state near the fundamental band gap, derived from the top valence bands, a hyper-deep resonant state in the valence band and a high-lying resonant state in the conduction band, derived from the oxygen 2s bonding and anti-bonding band, respectively. The existence of the donor-like defect state offers a possible explanation for the dependence of the conductivity and the mid-gap absorption on the O deficiency.

The copolymer, due to its rigid hydrophobic block of polystyrene, is a more effective surfactant in an alcohol solution than polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide based compounds. The films have been prepared by a spin-coating technique from an ethanol solution of tungsten hexachloride. A room temperature, ultraviolet illumination method has been found to be very suitable for removing the polymer template, leading to the formation of a high-quality mesoporous structure. The electrochromic and optical properties of the mesoporous films are described and compared to standard sol–gel tungsten oxide films. Mesoporous materials exhibit superior high-rate ion-insertion performance when used as electrochromic layers.

Long-term degradation of the ion insertion layer (with extensive cycling) by the liquid/gel electrolyte may contribute to this durability problem. In this respect, two V2O5 thin film electrodes were fabricated for extensive cyclic durability testing in a LiClO4/propylene carbonate (PC) liquid electrolyte: One V2O5 film had no overlying coating while the other had a protective thin film of solid lithium ion-conducting LiAlF4. The protected V2O5 exhibited improved durability in terms of constant capacity with repeated cycling up to 800 cycles, while the uncoated V2O5 electrode displayed significant capacity loss. Our results demonstrate that deposition of an inorganic solid electrolyte (LiAlF4) on amorphous V2O5 films serves as a protective overlayer and enhances the long-term cycling efficiency and stability of the V2O5 in a liquid electrolyte.

The Raman spectra of as-deposited films show two broad peaks around at 520 and 650 cm−1, due to the stretching modes of the V3–O and V2–O bonds, respectively, and a relatively sharp peak at 1027 cm−1 due to the V5+&z.dbnd6;O stretching mode of terminal oxygen atoms. In addition, there is a peak at 932 cm−1 that we attribute to the V4+&z.dbnd6;O bonds. Comparison of the Raman spectra of V2O5 films with different oxygen deficiencies confirms this assignment. This Raman peak due to the stretching mode of the V4+&z.dbnd6;O bonds develops and shifts toward lower frequencies with increasing lithium concentration. Comparison to results from gasochromic hydrogen insertion indicates that the 932 cm−1 Raman peak is not a result of vibrations which involve Li or H atoms. We propose that the V4+&z.dbnd6;O bonds are created by two different mechanisms: a direct conversion from V5+&z.dbnd6;O bonds and the breaking of the single oxygen bonds involving V4+ ions.

Hydrous ruthenium oxide thin films were prepared by cyclic voltammetry on ITO coated glass substrates from an aqueous ruthenium chloride solution. The cyclic voltammograms of this material show the capacitive behavior including two redox reaction peaks in each cathodic and anodic scan. The ruthenium oxide thin film electrode exhibits a 50% modulation of optical transmittance at 670 nm wavelength with capacitor charge/discharge.

Aggregates of the polymer surfactant serve as templates that result in the formation of a mesoporous structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate the presence of both macroporosity and mesoporosity in the electrodeposited film. Chemochromic behavior of mesoporous vanadium oxide is demonstrated in a palladium/vanadium oxide thin-film device, which colors when exposed to hydrogen gas. A comparison of results with evaporated vanadium oxide reveals that the mesoporous film displays an improved kinetic performance, which is most likely attributable to its highly porous structure. Also, the electrochemical properties have been explored in a lithium-battery configuration. Mesoporous vanadium oxide exhibits a very high lithium storage capacity and greatly enhanced charge–discharge rate. In situ optical measurements show that the film exhibits a multicolor electrochromic effect.

Although electrochromic and gasochromic metal hydride films have been the primary focus of recent research in this field, other systems merit consideration. Two of these, based on electrochemical conversion of copper to copper oxides and of pnicogens to lithium pnictides are discussed here. Three distinct states are available in the copper system: the highly reflecting metal, the transparent Cu(I) oxide, and the black, highly absorbing Cu(II) oxide. Metallic thin films of elemental antimony and bismuth are reversibly converted to transparent, semiconducting lithium pnictides by cathodic polarization in a nonaqueous lithium electrolyte. Like the metal hydrides, these systems provide substantial modulation of near-infrared transmission and reflection, but have somewhat lower visible reflectance in their mirror states.

The very large changes in both reflectance and transmittance on loading these films with hydrogen are accompanied by significant structural and electronic transformations. The valence states and coordination of metal atoms during hydrogen loading were followed using dynamic in situ transmission-mode X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Time-resolved Mg K-edge and Ni, Co, Mn, and Ti L-edge spectra reflect both reversible and irreversible changes in the metal environments. These spectra are compared to those of reference materials and to predictions from calculations.

Upon conventional annealing in air, the CaHfOx films remain amorphous up to an annealing temperature of 800 °C for annealing times of 1 h. This recrystallization temperature is significantly higher than that reported for HfO2 subjected to rapid thermal annealing. Metal–insulator–semiconductor structures with Pt gate electrodes were fabricated with various CaHfOx film thickness for capacitance–voltage and leakage current measurements. From this, the permittivity of CaHfOx was determined, along with interface layer capacitance for films on Si. The enhanced stability against polycrystalline grain growth, along with the thermodynamic stability of both CaO and HfO2 in contact with Si, suggests that CaHfOx may be an attractive gate dielectric for future generation metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor applications.

However, there is no natural material with a 100% lattice match with RE-BCO. In this study mixtures of europium oxide (Eu2O3) and ytterbium oxide (Yb2O3), (Eu1−uYbu)2O3 (0.0⩽u⩽1.0), were investigated as a candidate buffer layer that could have same lattice parameter as YBa2Cu3O7−δ(YBCO). Because the pseudocubic lattice parameter of Eu2O3 is bigger, and that of Yb2O3 is smaller than lattice parameter of YBCO, and the mixed oxides with appropriate ratio would have same lattice parameter of YBCO. The mixtures were prepared using metal-organic precursor by sol–gel process, and it was found that all mixed samples are single phase, complete solid solutions, and have same crystal system over the whole range of “u”. Lattice parameters of mixed (Eu1−uYbu)2O3 oxide powders were changed between 10.86831 and 10.42828 A˚ which are lattice parameter of Eu2O3 and Yb2O3, respectively by changing the ratio of Eu/Yb in the mixture. Phase and lattice parameter analysis revealed that pseudocubic lattice parameter of (Eu0.893Yb0.107)2O3 is 3.82 A˚ which is same as the lattice parameter of YBCO. Textured (Eu0.893Yb0.107)2O3 buffer layers were grown on biaxially textured-Ni (1 0 0) substrates. The solution was prepared from Europium and Ytterbium 2,4-pentadioanate, and was deposited on the Ni substrates using a reel-to-reel sol–gel dip coating system. The textured films were annealed at 1150 °C for 10 min under 4% H2–Ar gas flow. Extensive texture analysis has been done to characterize the texture of (Eu0.893Yb0.107)2O3 buffer layers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the buffer layer showed strong out-of-plane orientation on Ni tape. The (Eu0.893Yb0.107)2O3 (2 2 2) pole figure indicated a single cube-on-cube textured structure. The omega and phi scans revealed good out-of-plane and in-plane alignments. The full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) values of omega and Phi scan of (Eu0.893Yb0.107)2O3 films were 6.45° and 7.70°, respectively. ESEM micrographs of the films revealed pinhole-free, crack-free and dense microstructures.

In particular, the potential use of (La,Sr)TiO3 as a conductive buffer layer for subsequent growth of high temperature superconducting films for coated conductors is discussed. Van der Pauw measurements of film resistivity as a function oxidation conditions show that, for undoped LaTiO3 films, the resistivity increases rapidly as background oxygen pressure is increased, which is consistent with the formation of the LaTiO3+x phase. Sr doping of LaTiO3 significantly enhances the conductivity of thin film materials when synthesized under oxidizing conditions. The transport behavior for Sr-doped LaTiO3 films correlates with structural data showing no significant shift in lattice spacing as oxygen partial pressure is increased during film growth. In addition, the epitaxial growth of (La,Sr)TiO3 on biaxially textured Ni alloy tapes is demonstrated. These results suggest that (La,Sr)TiO3 is a viable candidate as a conducting buffer for superconducting film growth on biaxially textured metal tapes.

Theoretical predictions suggest that carrier-mediated ferromagnetism should be favored for p-type material. Cu2O is a p-type, direct wide bandgap oxide semiconductor that may hold interest in exploring spin behavior. In this paper, the properties of Mn-doped Cu2O are described. Activities focused on understanding Mn incorporation during thin-film synthesis, as well as magnetic characterization. The epitaxial films were grown by pulsed-laser deposition. X-ray diffraction was used to determine film crystallinity and to address the formation of secondary phases. SQUID magnetometry was employed to characterize the magnetic properties. Ferromagnetism is observed in selected Mn-doped Cu2O films, but appears to be associated with Mn3O4 secondary phases. In phase-pure Mn-doped Cu2O films, no evidence for ferromagnetism is observed.

For BaTiO3, both Co and Mn implantation produced magnetic ordering temperatures near 300 K with coercivities ⩽70 Oe. The MT plots showed either a near-linear decrease of magnetization with increasing temperature for Co and a non-Brillouin shaped curve for Mn. No secondary phases were detected by high-resolution X-ray diffraction. The same basic trends were observed for both SrTiO3 and KTaO3, with the exception that at high Mn concentrations (∼5 at.%) the SrTiO3 was no longer ferromagnetic. Our results are consistent with recent reports of room temperature ferromagnetism in other perovskite systems (e.g. LaBaMnO3) and theoretical predictions for transition metal doping of BaTiO3 [Nakayama et al., Jap. J. Appl. Phys. 40 (2001) L1355].

Individual layers are flat over long lateral distances. The interfaces are coherent, free of defects, exhibiting no roughness, and are located at the BaO plane of the superconductor. Concerning chemical disorder, EELS measurements show the absence of measurable chemical interdiffusion within experimental error bars.

The process is site-specific, as single crystal (Zn,Mg)O nanorod growth is realized via nucleation on Ag films or islands that are deposited on a SiO2-terminated Si substrate surface. Growth occurs within a flux of Zn, Mg, and O2/O3 mixture at substrate temperatures of 400–500 °C. With the addition of Mg, the nanorod morphology becomes more uniform relative to the pure ZnO nanomaterials synthesized under similar conditions. The (Zn,Mg)O nanorods are cylindrical, exhibiting diameters of 15–40 nm and lengths in excess of 1 μm. The (Zn,Mg)O nanorods exhibit a strong photoluminescence response, showing a slight shift to shorter wavelengths due to Mg incorporation.

In particular, defect doping of the anatase polymorph that is epitaxial stabilized on (0 0 1) LaAlO3 was explored using either oxygen or water vapor as the oxidizing species. For films grown in oxygen, a transition from insulating to metallic conductivity of the films is observed as the O2 pressure is reduced. X-ray diffraction measurements show the presence of the TinO2n−1 phase when the oxygen pressure is reduced sufficiently to induce conductive behavior. Hall measurements indicate that these materials are p-type. In contrast, the use of water vapor as the oxidizing species enabled the formation of n-type semiconducting TiO2 with carrier density on the order of 1018 cm−3 and mobility of 10–15 cm2/V s.

Our analysis relies on the composite media theory, which employs random domain decomposition in the context of groundwater flow moment equations to explicitly account for the separate effects of material and geometric uncertainty on ensemble moments of head and flux. Flow parallel and perpendicular to the layering in a two-material composite layered medium is considered. The hydraulic conductivity of each material is log-normally distributed with a much higher mean in one material than in the other. The hydraulic conductivities of points within different materials are uncorrelated. The location of the internal boundary between the two contrasting materials is random and normally distributed with given mean and variance. We solve the equations for (ensemble) moments of hydraulic head and flux and analyze the impact of unknown geometry of materials on statistical moments of head and flux. We compare the composite media approach to approximations that replace statistically inhomogeneous conductivity fields with pseudo-homogeneous random fields.

This system is described by a stochastic differential equation with multiplicative noise. Both linear and nonlinear kinetic rate laws are considered. An effective rate constant for the mean field approximation describing the change in mean concentration with time is derived. The effective rate constant decreases with increasing time eventually approaching zero as the system approaches equilibrium. This behavior suggests that a possible explanation for the observed discrepancy between laboratory measured rate constants on uniform grain sizes and field measurements may in part be caused by the heterogeneous distribution of grain sizes in natural systems.

We have determined the crystal structure of the N-terminal segment of human Sos1 (residues 1–191) and show that it contains two tandem histone folds. While the N-terminal domain is monomeric in solution, its structure is surprisingly similar to that of histone dimers, with both subunits of the histone “dimer” being part of the same peptide chain. One histone fold corresponds to the region of Sos that is clearly similar in sequence to histones (residues 91–191), whereas the other is formed by residues in Sos (1–90) that are unrelated in sequence to histones. Residues that form a contiguous patch on the surface of the histone domain of Sos are conserved from C. elegans to humans, suggesting a potential role for this domain in protein-protein interactions.

In the present study, the performance of three variations of such coatings under the boundary lubrication regime was evaluated, with particular focus on the coating surface damage and mechanical aspect of the wear mechanisms of the coated surfaces. The evaluation employed ball on flat contact geometry in reciprocating sliding motion and three different lubricants. Compared with the uncoated steel surface, the three variations of the coatings evaluated significantly reduced the amount of wear. The surface damage in the coatings consisted primarily of localised crack formation at the local asperity points of contact typical of boundary lubrication regime. The cracks propagated over time, resulting in eventual removal of coating material.

It is applicable to thickness data experimentally obtained from strained epitaxial films and based on the concept of the epitaxial Bain path. In particular, the in-plane lattice spacing of the film, such as that obtained with LEED on wedge-shaped samples, is used to determine the perpendicular lattice spacing, which serves for the conversion into angstroms. Omission of the implications of the Bain path concept would yield erroneous results. This conversion was successfully applied to compare experimental data, (given in monolayers), with data found in the literature (given in angstroms).

These GBS algorithms avoid an explicit treatment of the diffusion of deposited atoms across terraces, the process which mediates both island nucleation and growth. Treatment of terrace diffusion is a computationally expensive component of either conventional atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations, or of coarse-grained continuum formulations of island edge evolution. Our GBS approach characterizes island growth in terms of simply constructed “capture zones” surrounding each island, an old concept which was recently refined and made quantitatively precise. However, in addition, GBS implements simple but realistic geometric rules to incorporate crucial spatial aspects of the island nucleation process, specifically nucleation nearby capture zone boundaries. By detailed comparison of predictions of results from GBS with conventional atomistic KMC simulations, we show that this approach correctly predicts island size distributions as well as subtle spatial correlations in island locations. Perhaps, just as importantly, refinement of the prescription of island nucleation is readily achieved in GBS, thus elucidating the effects of this prescription on the resulting island distribution. Finally, we emphasize that GBS is particularly effective for highly reversible island formation where atomistic KMC simulation becomes inefficient.

A condensed inert gas layer of xenon, with low surface free energy, was used as a buffer to prevent direct interactions of deposited Ge atoms with Si substrates during Ge nanocluster growth. The scanning tunneling microscope studies indicate absence of a strained wetting layer between Ge nanoclusters. These nanoclusters are substantially smaller and denser than the Ge hut clusters that are formed with the normal Stranski–Krastanov growth mode. The morphology of the nanoclusters can be tuned over a wide range, which is very desirable for studying the three-dimensional confinement effect.

The studies indicated that ordered CO structures not observed in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) can form at high pressure (10-6–103 torr). In addition, CO and H2 induce metal atom mobility and restructure the surface. On platinum, CO dissociates at high temperature (≥ 500 K), and a platinum carbonyl precursor is implicated. Concerning catalytic reactions, structure sensitive CO dissociation plays an important role in the ignition of CO oxidation, whereas CO poisons olefin hydrogenation, which becomes CO desorption limited. Lastly, solid-state hydrogen atoms are more active for hydrogenation than surface hydrogen atoms. These results suggest that spatially and temporally resolved techniques would permit molecular studies of reaction intermediates of CO and H2 in the future.

Phase structure was visualized within a thick vertical sheet of broken glass where the breaks constituted the fracture network. The critical system parameters, applied flow rate (viscous forces) and initial condition, were varied in a series of experiments. When initially dry, individual fracture intersections acted as capillary barriers and created a repeated dynamic from which a network-scale 'slender-ladder' phase structure emerges that is composed of pools above each intersection joined by fingers or 'tendrils' below. At low-flow rates, pulsation is found at intersections, within fingers, and along horizontal fractures. In some cases, pulsation extends to larger volume 'cascade' events where several intersections act in concert. At higher-flow rates, viscous forces remove pulsation. Reinvasion upon drainage demonstrates that when initially wet, the capillary barrier behavior of the individual fracture intersections vanishes and intersections are rapidly spanned. This marked hysteretic response tends to guide flow and cause pathway persistence from one event to the next.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 39 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Chlorine 36 was generated from nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s and has been used to identify fast flow paths at Yucca Mountain, the proposed repository for high-level nuclear waste [ Fabryka-Martin et al., 1997, 1998]. Bomb pulse 36Cl, brought into the subsurface by infiltrating rainwater, presumably resides along fracture surfaces because of the extremely low rock matrix permeability. However, leaching a rock sample to extract this salt inevitably extracts pore water chloride (Cl) and rock matrix chloride, thereby making it difficult to obtain reproducible measurements or detect the specific bomb pulse signatures. Complexities introduced by these sources of older chloride include dilution of bomb pulse 36Cl/Cl ratios for samples from strata with a high Cl concentration, variations in measured ratios as a function of leaching time, rock chip size, and the differing effects of active leaching from those of passive leaching. This work provides both a conceptual model and a mathematical solution for the leaching processes and examines the role of sample leaching in the 36Cl studies of Yucca Mountain rocks. An analytical solution is derived for the diffusion of Cl and 36Cl in composite media (rock matrix and water) to accommodate variable diffusivity. This solution is subsequently used to develop a leaching model that takes into account bomb pulse signal, matrix pore water, and relatively hard to leach components (isolated fluid inclusion and mineral boundary salts). The model is then applied to samples from stratigraphic units at Yucca Mountain to obtain leachate concentrations from different setup methods (protocols), including duration, chip size, and gravitational settling of the water-rock mixture. The model results show that the probability of detecting a 36Cl/Cl bomb pulse signal is severely diminished under longer leaching times and smaller rock fragment sizes and that leaching times of 1 to 10 hours are most likely to be successful in detecting a bomb pulse signal. Bomb pulse 36Cl/Cl ratios are more likely to be observed if pore water Cl concentrations were initially low prior to the introduction of bomb pulse carrying water.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 39 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - A cross-hole tracer test involving the simultaneous injection of two nonsorbing solute tracers with different diffusion coefficients (bromide and pentafluorobenzoate) and a weakly sorbing solute tracer (lithium ion) was conducted in a fractured granite near an underground nuclear test cavity in central Nevada. The test was conducted to (1) test a conceptual radionuclide transport model for the site and (2) obtain transport parameter estimates for predictive modeling. The differences between the responses of the two nonsorbing tracers (when normalized to injection masses) are consistent with a dual-porosity transport system in which matrix diffusion is occurring. The large concentration attenuation of the sorbing tracer relative to the nonsorbing tracers suggests that diffusion occurs primarily into matrix pores, not simply into stagnant water within the fractures. The relative responses of the tracers at late times suggest that the diffusion-accessible matrix pore volume is possibly limited to only half the total volume of the flow system, implying that the effective retardation factor due to matrix diffusion may be as small as 1.5 for nonsorbing solutes in the system. The lower end of the range of possible sorption Kd values deduced from the lithium response is greater than the upper 95% confidence bound of Kd values measured in laboratory sorption tests using crushed granite from the site. This result suggests that the practice of using laboratory sorption data in field-scale transport predictions of cation-exchanging radionuclides, such as 137Cs+ and 90Sr++, should be conservative for the SHOAL site.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 39 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Fractures that begin and end in the unsaturated zone, or isolated fractures, have been ignored in previous studies because they were generally assumed to behave as capillary barriers and remain nonconductive. We conducted a series of experiments using Berea sandstone samples to examine the physical mechanisms controlling flow in a rock containing a single isolated fracture. The input fluxes and fracture orientation were varied in these experiments. Visualization experiments using dyed water in a thin vertical slab of rock were conducted to identify flow mechanisms occurring due to the presence of the isolated fracture. Two mechanisms occurred: (1) localized flow through the rock matrix in the vicinity of the isolated fracture and (2) pooling of water at the bottom of the fracture, indicating the occurrence of film flow along the isolated fracture wall. These mechanisms were observed at fracture angles of 20 and 60 degrees from the horizontal, but not at 90 degrees. Pooling along the bottom of the fracture was observed over a wider range of input fluxes for low-angled isolated fractures compared to high-angled ones. Measurements of matrix water pressures in the samples with the 20 and 60 degree fractures also demonstrated that preferential flow occurred through the matrix in the fracture vicinity, where higher pressures occurred in the regions where faster flow was observed in the visualization experiments. The pooling length at the terminus of a 20 degree isolated fracture was measured as a function of input flux. Calculations of the film flow rate along the fracture were made using these measurements and indicated that up to 22% of the flow occurred as film flow. These experiments, apparently the first to consider isolated fractures, demonstrate that such features can accelerate flow through the unsaturated zone and should be considered when developing conceptual models.

The logs can be analyzed to identify depth locations of inflow and evaluate the transmissivity and electric conductivity (salinity) of the fluid at each inflow point. The present paper proposes the use of the method with two or more pumping rates. In particular, it is recommended that the method be applied three times with pumping rates Q, Q/2, and 2 Q. Then a combined analysis of the multirate data allows an efficient means of determining transmissivity and salinity values of all inflow points along a well with a confidence measure, as well as their ambient or 'far-field' pressure heads. The method is illustrated by a practical example.

The flow dimension of a hydraulic test may reflect several characteristics of the hydrogeologic system, including heterogeneity, boundaries, and leakage. We show that a radial flow system with a linear, constant-head boundary asymptotically reaches a flow dimension of four, while the flow dimension of a leaky aquifer is a function of time and the leakage factor. We use numerical techniques to show that a stationary transmissivity field with a modest level of heterogeneity has a flow dimension that stabilizes at two. We also show that the flow dimension for a nonstationary transmissivity field depends on the form and magnitude of the nonstationarity. The flow dimension observed during hydraulic tests helps identify admissible conceptual models for the tested system, and places hydraulic testing in its full hydrogeologic context.

A horizontal grid spacing of 850 m is used. The model forecasts are evaluated using data from the October 2000 Vertical Transport and Mixing (VTMX) field campaign in the Salt Lake valley. The forecasts of the diurnal evolution of the dominant circulations in the Salt Lake valley, including valley, slope, and canyon flows, and their modification by synoptic forcing during five intensive observation periods, were qualitatively similar to the measurements. Forecasts produced by the step-mountain and terrain-following vertical coordinates each have their own advantages and disadvantages and neither vertical coordinate outperformed the other overall. In general, the terrain-following coordinate simulations reproduced the observed surface wind directions over the valley sidewalls better, while the step-mountain coordinate simulations of nighttime near-surface temperatures and wind speeds were closer to the observations. Significant differences in wind speed and direction between the simulations were also produced in the middle valley atmosphere at night, with the terrain-following coordinate simulations somewhat better than the step-mountain coordinate simulations. Similar forecast errors produced by both simulations probably resulted from the physical parameterizations, rather than the choice of vertical coordinate.

All liquid metals have small magnetic Prandtl numbers, Pm ∼ 10-6, the ratio of kinematic viscosity to magnetic diffusivity. With plasmas both large and small Pm are achievable by varying the temperature and the density of plasma. Compressibility and fast rotation of the plasma result in radial stratification of the equilibrium plasma density. Evolution of perturbations in radially stratified viscous and resistive plasma permeated by an axial uniform magnetic field is considered. The differential rotation of the plasma is induced by the E × B drift in applied radial electric field. Global unstable eigenmodes are calculated by our newly developed matrix code. The plasma is shown to be MRI unstable for parameters easily achievable in experimental setup. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The goal of CNT is to study the equilibrium, stability, and transport of non-neutral plasmas confined on magnetic surfaces. CNT will use four circular, planar coils: two interlocking coils with a variable tilt angle, plus two additional poloidal field coils. By varying the angle between the interlocking coils, the rotational transform can be varied from 0.2 to 0.6 and the magnetic shear from essentially zero to 20%. The results of a numerical study of how error fields affect the quality of the magnetic surfaces will be presented. The plasma will be diagnosed by numerous Langmuir and sector probes, connected to a computer data acquisition and control system. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2003/12/02/Dec2003 Part 2 of 2 VL - 50 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2420 EP - 2425 SN - 00189499 AB - ATLAS (a toroidal LHC apparatus) is a general purpose experiment that will start its operation at the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN in 2007. The ATLAS detector is designed to explore numerous physics processes by recording, measuring, and investigating the products emerging from proton-proton collisions at energies up to 14 TeV. High-precision muon momentum measurement (dp/p ∼ 10% at pT = 1 TeV/c) over large areas using monitored drift tube (MDT) chambers is crucial for the ATLAS experiment. More than 1200 MDT chambers, consisting of approximately 370 000 drift tubes, will provide a total coverage of 5500 m². Three Greek universities have taken the responsibility to construct 130 barrel inner small (BIS)-MDT chambers using 30 000 drift tubes of ∼ 1.7 m length that have been quality tested before assembly. The design of the muon drift tubes aims at high detection efficiency (> 95%) and a spatial single tube resolution of < 80 μm. This paper describes the cosmic ray test setup, which has been instrumented in order to verify that the BIS-MDT chamber Module-0 fulfills its design requirements. The analysis of its data shows that the chamber meets these requirements; it has low noise levels, uniform drift properties, good spatial resolution, and high particle detection efficiency.

When used in conjunction with a chiral promoter, aldols give high stereoselectivities for a variety of metal acid and base combinations. Although many aldol reactions have been reported, few accounts propose a geometry for the enolate intermediate, and fewer still are the result of direct observation. Of those that propose a structure, evidence is in the form of product ratios or modeling calculations. The oxazolidineselone is useful both to promote chirality in aldol reactions as well as to report on the ratios of each isomer produced in the reaction using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Today, metal CF3 complexes are known for virtually all the middle- and late-row transition metals. Despite persistent efforts, early transition-metal perfluoroalkyl complexes have remained elusive for 44 years. Traditional methods employed to prepare perfluoroalkyl complexes have repeatedly failed to provide early-metal analogues, and these failures have been attributed to facile and fluoride elimination pathways available to the early-metal fluoroalkyl complexes to give high lattice energy metal fluorides.

But detection of this temporal variation has been extremely difficult, although laboratory studies have long suggested that certain structural changes, such as the properties of crustal fractures, should be seismically detectable. Here we present evidence that such structural changes are indeed observable. In particular, we find a systematic temporal variation in the seismograms of repeat microearthquakes that occurred on the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault over the decade 1987-97. Our analysis reveals a change of the order of 10?m in the location of scatterers which plausibly lie within the fault zone at a depth of ~3?km. The motion of the scatterers is coincident, in space and time, with the onset of a well documented aseismic transient (deformation event). We speculate that this structural change is the result of a stress-induced redistribution of fluids in fluid-filled fractures caused by the transient event.

Dimensional changes between a pattern die and its wax pattern occur as a result of complex phenomena such as thermal expansion–contraction and hot deformation (elastic, plastic, and creep). Thus, the wax pattern dimensions are determined by the wax’s thermophysical and thermomechanical properties, restraint of geometrical features by the metal die, and process parameters such as die temperature, platen temperature, injection pressure, injection temperature, and dwell time. In this paper, constitutive equations of material behavior that determine dimensional changes associated with the wax system are provided. Material property measurements were conducted in this study for Cerita™ 29-51 wax with the aim of obtaining a complete set of data that can be used as input in computer simulation software for predicting wax pattern dimensions.

The optimized synthesis parameters for high silica ZSM-5 membranes, including gel composition and ageing, seed composition and deposition techniques, temperature, time, and membrane calcination parameters are discussed. The permeation characteristics of several membranes for gases present during methane reforming processes (H2, CO2, O2, CH4, N2 and CO) were measured, as well as for the test gases He and SF6. The permeance of CO2 is higher than that of the other gases and is between two and three times higher than that of the smaller He atoms or H2 molecules. The higher permeance of CO2 is likely due to enhanced surface diffusion. Membranes showed a decrease in CO2 permeation over time, which was partially regenerated after a heating cycle.

Multilayered thin films consisting of alternating Cu and Nb layers with columnar grains were produced by magnetron sputtering, with individual layer thickness ranging from 4 μm to 75 nm and Cu/Nb interfaces locally satisfying the Kurdjumov–Sachs (K–S) orientation relations. After rolling to 80% effective strain, samples with a larger initial layer thickness develop a bulk rolling texture while those with a smaller initial layer thickness display co-rotation of Cu and Nb columnar grains about the interface normal, in order to preserve the K–S orientation relations. The resulting K–S texture has 〈0 0 1〉Nb parallel to and 〈1 1 0〉Cu approximately 5° from the rolling direction. A crystal plasticity model based on the Principle of Minimum Shear captures the K–S texture approximately and suggests that Nb drags Cu along in the rotation process.

At the eutectic composition, uniform and well-aligned lamellar structures were obtained over a fairly wide range of solidification conditions, but not at very low or very high growth rates where degenerate and cellular structures, respectively, were obtained. The lamellar spacing was found to increase with decreasing solidification rate, in agreement with the Jackson–Hunt theory. In addition, for a fixed growth rate, the lamellar spacing was found to increase with increasing rotation rate. The growth directions in the lamellar eutectic are found to be 〈1 0 0〉 for the Cr3Si phase and 〈1 1 1〉 for the Cr solid-solution phase. Eutectic microstructures (rod or lamellar) could also be produced at off-eutectic compositions, but only for a limited range of growth conditions.

Some of the whiskers on eutectic SnCu finishes are long enough to short the neighboring legs of the leadframe. Tin whisker growth is known to be a stress relief phenomenon. We have performed synchrotron radiation X-ray micro-diffraction analysis to measure the local stress level, the orientation of the grains in the finish around a whisker, and the growth direction of whiskers. The compressive stress in the solder finish is quite low, less than 10 MPa; nevertheless, there exists a stress gradient around the root of a whisker. From the orientation map and pole figure, we found that the growth direction of whiskers is [0 0 1] and there exists a preferred orientation of [3 2 1] grains on the solder finish. In one of the whisker analyzed, we found that the normal orientation of the grain just below the whisker is different; it is [2 1 0].

With increasing Al additions, the grain morphology in the as-processed microstructures varied from elongated to bimodal to equiaxed, with a change in the nature of the grain-boundary film from amorphous to partially crystalline to fully crystalline. Fracture toughness and cyclic fatigue tests on these microstructures revealed that although the 7 wt.% Al containing material (7ABC) was extremely brittle, the 3 and particularly 5 wt.% Al materials (3ABC and 5ABC, respectively) displayed excellent crack-growth resistance at both ambient (25 °C) and elevated (1300 °C) temperatures. Indeed, no evidence of creep damage, in the form of grain-boundary cavitation, was seen at temperatures at 1300 °C or below. The enhanced toughness of the higher Al-containing materials was associated with extensive crack bridging from both interlocking grains (in 3ABC) and uncracked ligaments (in 5ABC); in contrast, the 7ABC SiC showed no such bridging, concomitant with a marked reduction in the volume fraction of elongated grains. Mechanistically, cyclic fatigue-crack growth in 3ABC and 5ABC SiC involved the progressive degradation of such bridging ligaments in the crack wake, with the difference in the degree of elastic vs. frictional bridging affecting the slope, i.e. Paris law exponent, of the crack-growth curve.

This HPPT is inferred by a high-pressure diamond anvil cell, Raman spectroscopy, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, and optical and acoustic microscope inspection. In the case of silicon nitride, the HPPT involves a ductile or metallike behavior that is observed in severe deformation processes, such as nanoindentation and micromachining. This pressure-induced plasticity is believed to be similar to that found in silicon and germanium with its origin in the high-pressure metallic β-Sn phase formation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We have found a nonuniform spatial distribution for the photon energy. The shift by decade of the emission spectrum is also found to depend systematically on the location of excitation. In addition, the photon energy at grain boundaries is not affected by the external excitation. A model for radiative recombination to be applied to these chalcopyrite compounds should explain these results, and some suggestions are considered. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

These FETs exhibit hole conductivity with room-temperature effective mobility (μ[sub eff]) up to 0.30 cm2/V s and on/off ratios up to 5×10[sup 6]. A negative gate voltage of -50 V significantly decreases the activation energy (E[sub a]) down to 0.143 eV near room temperature. Using this value of E[sub a] and a simple model, we find the number of free carriers is only ∼0.4% of the total number of injected carriers. Along with μ[sub eff]∼0.3 cm[sup 2]/V s, this places the intrinsic mobility in the range of tens of cm2/V s. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The dependence of the oscillatory component of the photoinduced reflectivity on the probe wavelength and incident angle is consistent with a propagating strain pulse. Moreover, the frequency, dephasing, and phase of the oscillation are found to be temperature dependent. In particular, a large phase shift occurs in the vicinity of the Néel temperature (T[sub N]), which we relate to the temperature-dependent on-site Mn d–d transition that is coupled to antiferromagnetic ordering, as recently observed in optical conductivity measurements. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We demonstrate that this many-body phenomenon, which originates from interparticle electrical interactions, provides a method for concentrating particles in focused regions and for separating biological and nonbiological materials.

Bioeng. 78 (2002) 731]. When the capacity for Photosystem II (PSII) O2 evolution decreases below that of respiration, the culture becomes anaerobic [Plant Physiol. 122 (2000) 127]. We demonstrate that (a) the photochemical activity of PSII, monitored by in situ fluorescence, also decreases slowly during the aerobic period; (b) at the exact time of anaerobiosis, the remaining PSII activity is rapidly down regulated; and (c) electron transfer from PSII to PSI abruptly decreases at that point. Shortly thereafter, the PSII photochemical activity is partially restored, and H2 production starts. Hydrogen production, which lasts for 3–4 days, is catalyzed by an anaerobically induced, reversible hydrogenase. While most of the reductants used directly for H2 gas photoproduction come from water, the remaining electrons must come from endogenous substrate degradation through the NAD(P)H plastoquinone (PQ) oxido-reductase pathway. We propose that the induced hydrogenase activity provides a sink for electrons in the absence of other alternative pathways, and its operation allows the partial oxidation of intermediate photosynthetic carriers, including the PQ pool, between PSII and PSI. We conclude that the reduced state of this pool, which controls PSII photochemical activity, is one of the main factors regulating H2 production under sulfur-deprived conditions. Residual O2 evolved under these conditions is probably consumed mostly by the aerobic oxidation of storage products linked to mitochondrial respiratory processes involving both the cytochrome oxidase and the alternative oxidase. These functions maintain the intracellular anaerobic conditions required to keep the hydrogenase enzyme in the active, induced form.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/12/08/ VL - 107 IS - 49 M3 - Article SP - 10514 EP - 10520 SN - 10895639 AB - Nonphotochemical hole burning is used to measure the linear electron-phonon coupling, the temperature dependence of the pure dephasing, and the zero-phonon hole growth kinetics of aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (APT) in glassy water confined in pores (~30 Å) of films of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA). The hole burning properties of APT in the polymer are compared with those of APT in hyperquenched glassy films of water and ethanol. Below ~8 K in the polymer, the dephasing, which is dominated by coupling to the intrinsic two-level systems (TLSint) of the glass, is found to be more similar to that of APT in unannealed hyperquenched glassy water (HGW) films than in annealed HGW films. This shows, for the first time, that confinement does not lead to a significant decrease in the TLSint density. At higher temperatures, dephasing due to exchange coupling with a pseudolocalized mode at 42 cm-1 becomes dominant. This coupling is due to diagonal quadratic electron-phonon coupling that leads to a change in mode energy upon electronic excitation of APT. The 42 cm-1 vibration is assigned to the transverse acoustic mode of confined water. In HGW the energy of this mode is 50 cm-1. The interaction of APT with surface-bound water and the polymer surface also leads to reduction of the energy of the linearly coupled (Franck-Condon active) phonon mode from 38 cm-1 for HGW to 32 cm-1. Hole growth kinetics measurements for APT in polymer saturated with D2O are compared with those in polymer saturated with H2O. In the heavy water the hole burning is 330 times slower. The equivalent factor for heavy HGW is 800. Thus, the mechanism of hole burning involves proton tunneling associated with the extrinsic two-level systems (TLSext) introduced by the dye. In contrast, dephasing data indicate that the coordinate of the TLSint is spatially extended and involves only small-amplitude motion of protons. Differences between the hole-burning properties of APT in poly-HEMA and in HGW and hyperquenched ethanol are discussed in terms of the interactions of APT with bound (nonfreezable) water and the hydroxyethyl groups of the polymer.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/12/08/ VL - 107 IS - 49 M3 - Article SP - 10533 EP - 10543 SN - 10895639 AB - The reflected shock tube technique with D atom atomic resonance absorption spectrometry (ARAS) detection has been used to study the bimolecular reaction, D + C2H2 → C2HD + H. D atoms were produced from the thermal decomposition of C2D5I above ~1150 K. The initially formed C2D5 radicals rapidly decompose to give D + C2D4. Rate constant values were obtained from both reactant and product hydrogen atom measurements, and these were found to be identical within experimental error. The title reaction proceeds through a vibrationally excited vinyl radical, and the equivalence of results based on reactant and product measurements suggests that radical stabilization is negligible over the temperature and pressure ranges of the experiments. For 1100 ≤ T ≤ 1630 K, the results can be described by the linear-least-squares Arrhenius expression: k = (2.77 ± 0.45) × 10-10 exp(-3051 ± 210 K/T) in units of cm3 molecule-1 s-1, with the one standard deviation of the values from the equation being ±10.7%. Application of RRKM theory with negligible stabilization shows that k = kD∞〈kfε/(kfε+ kbε)〉 where the kiε's refer to RRKM evaluated specific rate constants for forward and backward dissociations, and kD∞ is the high-pressure limiting rate constant for D addition to acetylene. Hence, the present measurements coupled with earlier measurements and modern ab initio potential energy determinations allow for specification of the high-pressure limiting rate constants. The same model can then be used for the protonated reaction, H + C2H2, where a considerable ambiguity has existed for about 30 years.

The O2-cyclohexane cluster has a strong absorption to a charge-transfer state near 226 nm resulting in dissociation yielding O(3P). On the basis of a simple model (Mulliken, R. S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74, 811) and low level ab initio calculations, the location of the charge-transfer absorption for a Cl2-cyclohexane cluster is predicted and the dissociation of this cluster leading to Cl*(2P1/2) and Cl(2P3/2) is also investigated. The translational energy distribution, P(ET) for each cluster is analyzed in terms of two possible dissociation mechanisms. The dissociation may be considered to proceed on the initially accessed charge-transfer state through a harpooning-type mechanism. Alternatively, the dissociation may proceed following a nonadiabatic electronic transition to the neutral excited states of the diatomic subunit of the cluster. For O2-cyclohexane, the P(ET) is consistent with the second dissociation mechanism. We determine from the available data that the likely structure for the vdW complex is analogous to the resting structure of I2-benzene with the O2 bond axis lying above the cyclohexane ring. For Cl2-cyclohexane, we analyze the velocity dependence of the Cl recoil anisotropy and find it increases from nearly isotropic (β ~ 0) to distinctly anisotropic (β ~ 1.7-2). The fast, anisotropic Cl atoms result from dissociation of the cluster on the neutral excited states of Cl2. The slow, isotropic Cl atoms likely result from secondary dissociation of the product Cl-cyclohexane cluster. We determine a Cl*(2P1/2)/Cl(2P3/2) branching ratio of 0.53 ± 0.05 and estimate that ~19% of the observed Cl atoms result from primary dissociation on the initially accessed charge-transfer state. The data suggest that the Cl2-cyclohexane cluster has an axial-like structure following absorption of a photon. Finally, we explain the rapid nonadiabatic hop from the charge-transfer state to the neutral excited states of the diatomic in terms of coupling of the states though a one-electron change.

The solubility made it possible to not only characterize the functionalized SWNT samples in solution but also quantitatively measure the UV/vis/NIR absorption spectra of the samples. The nanotube contents in the soluble samples were determined in terms of NMR signal integrations in reference to internal standards and through thermal gravimetric analyses. The absorptivity results thus obtained are similar for SWNTs in the different functionalized samples. For the near-infrared absorption band corresponding to the first pair of van Hove singularities in the electronic density of states for semiconducting SWNTs, the peak absorptivity is 0.5-2.2 (mg/mL)-1 cm-1. The absorption properties of SWNTs are apparently insensitive to changes in the sample environment, such as the functionalization with significantly different groups. The effects of scattering on the accurate determination of absorptivity are discussed.

A methanol bath was modeled using classical molecular dynamics, whereas the properties of an excess electron were calculated from a wave function based approach. The temperature dependence of the bulk response has been found to be minimal, which may indicate that large scale hydrogen bond breaking and diffusive motion may not play important roles in the solvation dynamics. The equilibrium dynamics have also been compared to nonequilibrium simulations of charge injection into the neat bath. An excess electron at a methanol/Pt(100) surface interface has been shown to become solvated by the bath yet is less bound by a factor of ~2 compared to the bulk. The solvent response function also displays interesting differences when compared to the low temperature bulk glass. These results also reveal many of the microscopic properties of the solvated interfacial electrons that have recently been observed from ultrafast two photon photoelectron spectroscopy studies.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/12/08/ VL - 107 IS - 49 M3 - Article SP - 13623 EP - 13628 SN - 15206106 AB - The production of H2 in the γ-ray and 5 MeV helium ion radiolyses of water adsorbed on 0.4 and 1 μm particles of UO2 has been examined. The yields of H2 determined with respect to the total energy deposited in the oxide-water system is 0.016 molecule/100 eV, which is about the same as similarly sized CeO2 particles. Radiation chemical yields of H2 increase substantially with decreasing number of adsorbed water layers when the yield is determined with respect to the energy deposited directly by γ-rays in the water. A yield of about 40 molecules of H2 per 100 eV energy directly absorbed by four layers of water on UO2 compared to 0.45 molecule/100 eV in bulk liquid water strongly suggests that energy is being transported from the oxide through the water interface. The results with UO2 have been combined with data on ZrO2 and CeO2 to give H2 yields for a wide range of water loading. H2 is mainly produced from chemisorbed water in the γ-radiolysis of ZrO2, and its yield decreases in the presence of O2 to values comparable to those for UO2 and CeO2. The yields of H2 in the 5 MeV helium ion radiolysis of water on UO2, CeO2, and ZrO2 are similar, indicating that these materials may be suitable for estimating H2 production in transuranic waste.

An additional deficiency in Trp53 allows Xrcc1−/− embryos to enlarge slightly and initiate gastrulation although ultimately death is delayed by less than 24 h. Death presumably results from DNA damage that reaches toxic levels in the post-implantation mouse embryo. To investigate the level of XRCC1 protein needed for successful mouse development, we derived Xrcc1 transgene-complemented Xrcc1−/− mice that express Xrcc1 within the normal range or at a greatly reduced level (<10% normal). The greatly reduced XRCC1 protein level destabilized the XRCC1 partner protein DNA ligase III (LIG3) but still allowed for successful mouse development and healthy, fertile adults. Fibroblasts from these animals exhibited almost normal alkylation sensitivity measured by differential cytotoxicity. Thus, a large reduction of both XRCC1 and DNA ligase III has no observable effect on mouse embryogenesis and post-natal development, and no significant effect on cellular sensitivity to DNA alkylation. The presence of XRCC1, even at reduced levels of expression, is therefore capable of supporting mouse development and DNA repair.

Applying the procedure to MS data of proteomic analysis of serum from ovarian cancer patients and serum from cancer-free individuals in the Food and Drug Administration/National Cancer Institute Clinical Proteomics Database, we have achieved perfect discrimination (100% sensitivity, 100% specificity) of patients with ovarian cancer, including early-stage disease, from normal controls for two independent sets of data. Our procedure identifies the best subset of proteomic biomarkers for optimal discrimination between the groups and appears to have higher discriminatory power than other methods reported to date. For large-scale screening for diseases of relatively low prevalence such as ovarian cancer, almost perfect specificity and sensitivity of the detection system is critical to avoid unmanageably high numbers of false-positive cases.

The introduction of Ba2+ ions into Na-Y,FAU results in a large increase in their nonthermal plasma-assisted NOx reduction activity. The NOx reduction activities of Ba-Y,FAU catalysts were found to increase with increasing Ba2+ concentration in the aqueous ion-exchange solutions, which translated into increased Ba2+/Na+ ratios in the resulting materials. Consecutive ion-exchange procedures at a given Ba2+ concentration in the aqueous solution, however, did not improve the NOx reduction activities of Ba-Y,FAU catalysts; i.e., the activity of the four times ion-exchanged material was the same as that of the one that was ion-exchanged only once. The reaction profiles for all of these Ba-Y,FAU catalysts were the same. In contrast, a significant increase in NOx reduction activity was observed when a 773 K calcination step was implemented after each solution ion exchange. The reaction profile was also altered as a result of the ion-exchange/calcination cycles. Calcination that followed each ion-exchange step seems to further increase the Ba2+/Na+ ratio in the zeolite, and in turn increases the NOx reduction activities of the catalysts prepared this way. Key differences in Na- and Ba-Y,FAU catalysts were found in NO2 adsorption and TPD experiments. The amount of chemisorbed NO2 is about twice as high in Ba-Y,FAU than in Na-Y,FAU, and Ba-Y,FAU holds NOx much stronger than Na-Y,FAU.

Catalysts containing 2% w/w Pt on silica were prepared by two different methods, rendering catalysts with dispersion values ranging between 0.29 and 0.80. Kinetic results indicate that the turnover frequency (TOF) of CO oxidation increases with increasing particle size under O2-rich conditions, confirming that the CO oxidation reaction over Pt/SiO2 catalysts is structure sensitive under an oxidizing environment. This characteristic is not only related to the gas phase surrounding the supported catalyst but also to the crystallite size range analyzed. EXAFS results show the formation of completely metallic Pt particles upon reduction in H2 at 300 °C for 1 h regardless of the particle size, whereas after a subsequent oxidation pretreatment only the smallest particles are fully oxidized. At room temperature, the oxidized Pt surface does not adsorb CO, but under oxidizing conditions (1% CO, 10% O2 in He) the oxidized catalysts show activity at T>100 °C. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicates that even this low CO concentration leads to reduction of the oxidized surface under reaction conditions. The results presented here clearly show that the active surface of Pt/SiO2 catalysts during CO oxidation is the metallic Pt, and that different sites on a Pt crystallite have different oxidation rates depending on its size. These results show the sensitivity of CO oxidation activity to the preparation method, pretreatment, and most significantly to the reaction atmosphere.

Nucl. Energy 28 (2001) 457; Nucl. Sci. Eng., in press]. This method uses a variational functional, which employs first-order estimates of forward and adjoint fluxes, to yield a second-order estimate of a desired system characteristic – which, in this paper, is the criticality eigenvalue k. If Monte Carlo estimates of the forward and adjoint fluxes are used, each having global “first-order” errors of O(1/√ of N), where N is the number of histories used in the Monte Carlo simulation, then the statistical error in the VVR estimation of k will in principle be O(1/N). In this paper, we develop this theoretical possibility and demonstrate with numerical examples that implementations of the VVR method for criticality problems can approximate O(1/N) convergence for significantly large values of N.

To model this transport mechanism, fractional order space derivative operators can be used. Here, the numerical properties of partial differential equations of fractional order α, 1⩽α⩽2, are studied. Two numerical schemes, an explicit and a semi-implicit one, are used in solving these equations. Two different discretization methods of the fractional derivative operator have also been used. The accuracy and stability of these methods are investigated for several standard types of problems involving partial differential equations of fractional order.

Several approaches are considered, including a Riemann summation using left endpoints, the use of random wave numbers to sample a the spectrum in proportion to the energy it contains, and a combination of the two. The Fourier-wavelet method of Elliott et al. is investigated and compared with other methods, all of which are evaluated in terms of their ability to sample the stochastic process over a large number of decades for a given computational cost. The Fourier-wavelet method has accuracy which increases linearly with the computational complexity, while the accuracy of the other methods grows logarithmically. For the Kolmogorov spectrum, a hybrid quadrature method is as efficient as the Fourier-wavelet method, if no more than eight decades of accuracy are required. The effectiveness of this hybrid method wanes when one samples fields whose energy spectrum decays more rapidly near the origin. The Fourier-wavelet method has roughly the same behavior independently of the exponent of the power law. The Fourier-wavelet method returns samples which are Gaussian over the range of values where the structure function is well approximated. By contrast, (multi-point) Gaussianity may be lost at the smaller length scales when one uses methods with random wave numbers.

JO - Journal of Neuroscience JF - Journal of Neuroscience Y1 - 2003/12/10/ VL - 23 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 11461 EP - 11468 SN - 02706474 AB - The reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse result from the complex interaction between pharmacological effects and conditioned responses. Here we evaluate how expectation affects the response to the stimulant drug methylphenidate in 25 cocaine abusers. The effects of methylphenidate (0.5 mg/kg, i.v.) on brain glucose metabolism (measured by [[sup18]F]deoxyglucose-positron emission tomography) and on its reinforcing effects (self-reports of drug effects) were evaluated in four conditions: (1) expecting placebo and receiving placebo; (2) expecting placebo and receiving methylphenidate; (3) expecting methylphenidate and receiving methylphenidate; (4) expecting methylphenidate and receiving placebo. Methylphenidate increased brain glucose metabolism, and the largest changes were in cerebellum, occipital cortex, and thalamus. The increases in metabolism were ∼50% larger when methylphenidate was expected than when it was not, and these differences were significant in cerebellum (vermis) and thalamus. In contrast, unexpected methylphenidate induced greater increases in left lateral orbitofrontal cortex than when it was expected. Methylphenidate-induced increases in self-reports of "high" were also ∼50% greater when subjects expected to receive it than when they did not and were significantly correlated with the metabolic increases in thalamus but not in cerebellum. These findings provide evidence that expectation amplifies the effects of methylphenidate in brain and its reinforcing effects. They also suggest that the thalamus, a region involved with conditioned responses, may mediate the enhancement of the reinforcing effects of methylphenidate by expectation and that the orbitofrontal cortex mediates the response to unexpected reinforcement. The enhanced cerebellar activation with expectation may reflect conditioned responses that are not linked to conscious responses.

These processes are catalyzed using photon-excited electron-hole pairs that perform surface-mediated redox chemistry. Little is known at the site-specific level about interfacial charge transfer and trapping because most heterogeneous photocatalyst surfaces possess a complex and poorly defined distribution of sites and the media in which typical studies are performed are inhospitable to many molecular-level probes. Studies on single-crystal oxide surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum provide new insights into molecular-level processes on oxides, with the rutile Tio[sub2] surface emerging as a protypical oxide for study of photocatalytic phenomena. In this article authors identify surface sites associated with charge transfer and trapping during photodecomposition of an organic adsorbate using scanning tunneling microscopy electron energy loss spectroscopy, and photodesorption.

While the Gd[SUB5]Ga[SUBx]Ge[SUB4-x] phases with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6 and valence electron concentration of 30.4-31 e[SUP-] /formula crystallize with the Sm[SUB5]Ge[SUB4]-type structure, in which all interslab T-T dimers are broken (distances exceeding 3.4 Å), the phases with 1 ≤ x ≤ 2.2 and valence electron concentration of 28.8-30 e-/formula adopt the Pu[SUB5]Rh[SUB4]-or Gd[SUB5]Si[SUB4]e structures with T-T dimers between the slabs. An orthorhombic Pu[SUB5]Rh[SUB4]-type structure, which is intermediate between the Gd[SUB5]Si[SUB4]-and Sm[SUB5]Ge[SUB4]-type structures, has been identified for the Gd[SUB5]GaGe[SUB3] composition. Tight-binding linear-muffintin-orbital calculations show that substitution of three-valent Ga by four-valent Ge leads to larger population of the antibonding states within the dimers and, thus, to dimer stretching and eventually to dimer cleavage.

We find that the energy barrier for the replacement of silicon--hydrogen with silicon--carbon bonds is dramatically reduced if the silicon dot is optically excited. These results provide an explanation for recent experiments on optically excited porous silicon. In addition, our calculations point at the existence of an intermediate spin-polarized state formed by the dot and an alkene or alkyne, upon relaxation after absorbing a photon. This state could be detected experimentally, by, for example, electron spin resonance measurements. Based on the results of our calculations as a function of the dot size, varied from 0.8 to 1.5 nm, we propose that light activated reactions could be used to functionalize and size select silicon quantum dots at the same time.

A (3 × 1) phase was observed after depositing 0.6–0.8 ML Sr on room-temperature Si(0 0 1). Annealing at 750–800 °C caused a portion of the Sr to desorb and resulted in a sharp (2 × 3) LEED pattern. Normal Si(0 0 4) and off-normal Si(0 2 2) and Si(1 1 1) XSW measurements made on the (2 × 3) phase indicate that Sr atoms must sit at either cave or bridge sites. The XSW results also suggest that if a sufficiently low anneal temperature is used, the (2 × 3) phase co-exists with short-range ordered regions of Sr atoms located at valley-bridge sites.

Below 60 K the diffusion rate is negligible and individual molecules appear as slightly elongated 5 pm protrusions surrounded by 10 pm depressions at low bias voltage (≲200 mV). The molecules predominantly appear in three distinct orientations and closely resemble the peroxide species observed on Pt(1 1 1). A small fraction of the molecules occupy a second binding configuration at 25 K, appearing similar to the dominant species but with opposite orientations. No molecules resembling the superoxide precursor state on Pt(1 1 1) were observed. Both thermal activation and interaction with the STM tip induce rotation between the three orientations of each molecule, as well as displacement to adjacent sites and conversion between the two binding geometries. The molecules order in p(2 × 2) clusters, which grow in size upon annealing to 100 K. Rotational disorder is observed within the islands below 60 K, but not at higher temperature due to rapid rotation. Near 120 K, thermal O2 dissociation occurs primarily at the periphery of islands and at active sites associated with impurities beneath the Pd surface.

HIPPO overcomes the problem of weak neutron scattering intensities by taking advantage of the improved source at LANSCE, a short flight path (9 m) and a novel three-dimensional arrangement of detector banks with 1360 3He tubes, on five conical rings with scattering angles ranging from 2θ=10° to 150°. Flux at the sample is on the order of 107 neutrons cm−2 s−1. A large sample chamber (75 cm diameter well) can accommodate ancillary equipment such as an automatic sample changer/goniometer used in this study. This instrument was used to measure the texture of a round-robin limestone standard and extract orientation distribution data from TOF diffraction spectra with different methods (Rietveld harmonic method, Rietveld direct method, automatic fitting of individual peak intensities), and the results compare favorably. Also, there is good agreement with results obtained on the same sample measured at other facilities, but with greatly reduced measuring time for HIPPO.

The system sends light pulses via an optical fiber network to the detectors equipped with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), as well as to an array of reference detectors. Light pulses of different intensities are obtained by rotating a wheel carrying several attenuation plates in front of the light source. This permits the monitoring of the large dynamic range of ADC signals from the detectors, as well as the linearity of the PMT responses.

The amount of sample needed for the isotherm data acquisition was about 20 times less than that required with a conventional column. The data obtained were fitted to different single and competitive isotherm models. Both the single and the competitive data sets fitted best to the same Bilangmuir (BL) isotherm model with small differences in the numerical values of the parameters. The best fitted Bilangmuir single and competitive isotherm models were used to predict the overloaded experimental profiles of both pure enantiomers, of the racemic mixture, and of different enantiomeric mixtures. All the calculated profiles were in excellent agreement with the experimental ones. This agreement confirms that in many chiral separations, the competitive isotherms can be derived from data acquired from the mere racemic mixture with a sufficient accuracy for a correct prediction of the band profiles of all kinds of enantiomer mixtures, making possible the computer-assisted optimization of the experimental conditions.

We have produced significant numbers (10[sup8] to 10[sup9] molecules per cubic centimeter per quantum state) of translationally cold NO molecules in a specific quantum state with an upper-limit root mean square laboratory velocity of 15 plus or minus 1 meters per second, corresponding to a 406 plus or minus 23 millikelvin upper limit of temperature, in a crossed molecular beam apparatus. The technique, which relies on a kinematic collapse of the velocity distributions of the molecular beams for the scattering events that produce cold molecules, is general and independent of the energy of the colliding partner.

In H(3He, D) plasma, the mode converted ion cyclotron wave (MC ICW) was observed in tokamak plasmas for the first time using a phase contrast imaging system. The MC ICW was observed in the low field side of the ion-ion hybrid layer, and generally had a wavelength in-between the fast wave and the MC ion Bernstein wave (IBW). Localized mode conversion electron heating (MCEH) has been clearly observed for the first time in D(H) plasmas with moderate hydrogen concentration in Alcator C-Mod. Both on- and off-axis (high field side) MCEH have been studied. The MCEH profile was obtained from a break in slope analysis of Te signals in the presence of rf shut-off. The experimental profiles were qualitatively in agreement with the predictions of the two-dimensional full-wave poloidal mode code TORIC. The electron heating contributions from MC ICW and MC IBW are examined from the TORIC simulations. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 694 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 74 EP - 81 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - New experiments with the ion Bernstein waves (IBW) has been performed on FTU both in Hydrogen (H) and Deuterium (D) majority plasmas, at higher radio-frequency power level, plasma density, current, lower effective ion charge than in previous campaign of 1999. Also in these conditions, no role is played by non-linear edge physics, which prevented, instead, the RF penetration in the plasma bulk of DIII-D. With resonant toroidal magnetic field (≈8T), improved confinement occurs inside a radial region of 1/3 of the minor radius operating in H-plasma, and 2/3 of the minor radius operating in D-majority plasma. Such behavior is consistent with the model of turbulence suppression by locally-induced-IBW-sheared flow expected to occur close the resonant layer. The FTU results provide support for active control of the pressure profile by IBW which is of relevance for advanced tokamaks . © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The HPP consists of one quadrant of the full 7.5 MW antenna (1). The prototype is the product of a collaboration between ORNL, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and EFDA-JET/UKAEA. Internal matching capacitors are utilized in a circuit that maintains a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at the input < 1.5 over a factor of ten range in resistive loading. Short (.05 s) pulses have achieved > 45 kV peak voltage at the internal matching capacitors, which is greater than the original design voltage. High power pulses up to 2s have been run. Diagnostics include thermocouples, voltage probes at the capacitors and along the integral λ/4 matching transformer, and an optical temperature sensor for in-situ measurements of capacitor temperatures. Low power measurements of electrical characteristics of the antenna have been made and compared with a 3-D electromagnetic model. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Beside the “conjugate-T” circuit, internally matching the launcher to a very low reference impedance, an original adjustable wideband transformer has been designed for compatibility with various ancillary functions. Optional 3dB splitters provide futher generator isolation.

The resulting rf field and current density patterns have guided the optimization of the antenna feeder shapes, leading overall to a strong reduction (∼25%) of the maximum electric field, and to a factor-of-three reduction of the inhomogeneity of rf current at the matching capacitors. The computed frequency response of the array is now used in matching studies and development of a control algorithm. Comparison with the experimental frequency response of the High Power antenna Prototype developed by ORNL and PPPL shows fair agreement. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The goal was to establish reversed shear plasmas with intense ICRF heating early in the current ramp-up phase so as to delay the current diffusion as long as possible while establishing multi-keV electron temperatures, suitable for single pass absorption of lower hybrid waves. The ICRF power was injected from 3 antennas in several different configurations, namely: (1) simultaneous central and low field side off-axis heating; (2) central and high field side off-axis heating; and (3) maximum RF power in the central minority heating mode. Suitable target plasmas for future LHCD have been established and are described below. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

With ∼0.6 MW of central ICRF, the density and impurity peaking is controlled and allows the ITB to be maintained for the duration of the ICRF. Mode conversion in both D(H) and H(3He,D) has been investigated and the first measurement of D(H) mode conversion has been recently reported. A four-strap ICRF antenna has been shown to operate at high power density in heating phasing. Modifications have reduced the RF electric fields parallel to the magnetic field and shielded the BN-metal interfaces from the plasma. Voltage and power limitations were observed in the two dipole antennas and arc damage was found again where E ∥ B. Modifications have been completed and the initial antenna performance is presented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Analysis of recent NSTX shots has revealed that under some conditions when neutral beam and RF power are injected into the plasma simultaneously, a fast ion population with energy above the beam injection energy is sustained by the wave. In agreement with modeling, these experiments find the RF-induced fast ion tail strength and neutron rate at lower B-fields to be less enhanced, likely due to a larger β profile, which promotes greater off-axis absorption where the fast ion population is small. Ion loss codes find the increased loss fraction with decreased B insufficient to account for the changes in tail strength, providing further evidence that this is an RF interaction effect. Though greater ion absorption is predicted with lower k∥, surprisingly little variation in the tail was observed, along with a small neutron rate enhancement with higher k∥. Data from the neutral particle analyzer, neutron detectors, x-ray crystal spectrometer, and Thomson scattering is presented, along with results from the TRANSP transport analysis code, ray-tracing codes HPRT and CURRAY, full-wave code and AORSA, quasi-linear code CQL3D, and ion loss codes EIGOL and CONBEAM. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

An anisotropic ion temperature is measured during the presence of high power HHFW RF heating in He plasmas, with the poloidal Ti roughly twice the toroidal Ti. Moreover, the measured spectral distribution suggests that two populations have temperatures of 500 eV and 50 eV with rotation velocities of -50 km/s and -10 km/s, respectively. This bi-modal distribution is observed in both the toroidal and poloidal views (in both He II and C III ions), and is well correlated with the period of RF power application to the plasma. The temperature of the edge ions is observed to increase with the applied RF power, which was scanned between 0 and 4.3 MW. The ion heating mechanism from HHFW RF power has not yet been identified. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - High-Harmonic Fast-Wave Driven H-Mode Plasmas in NSTX. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 694 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 201 EP - 204 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The launch of High-Harmonic Fast Waves (HHFW) routinely provides auxiliary power to NSTX plasmas, where it is used to heat electrons and pursue drive current. H-mode transitions have been observed in deuterium discharges, where only HHFW and ohmic heating, and no neutral beam injection (NBI), were applied to the plasma. The usual H-mode signatures are observed. A drop of the Dα light marks the start of a stored energy increase, which can double the energy content. These H-mode plasmas also have the expected kinetic profile signatures with steep edge density and electron temperature pedestal. Similar to its NBI driven counterpart — also observed on NSTX — the HHFW H mode has density profiles that feature “ears” in the peripheral region. These plasmas are likely candidates for long pulse operation because of the combination of bootstrap current, associated with H-mode kinetic profiles, and active current drive, which can be generated with HHFW power. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Relative phase shift of the array was scanned from π/6 to π/2 to create kz spectral peaks between 3 and 7.6 m-1; it was also possible to switch from π/2 to π/4 phasing during a shot. Typical plasma parameters were Ip ∼ 0.5 MA, BT ∼ 0.45 T, and ne(0) ∼ 1-3×1019 m-3, and Te(0) ∼ 1-3 keV. Electron heating was observed even at the highest wave phase velocities, reaching 1.3 keV with 2.2 MW at -π/6 phasing and 2.7 keV with 2.9 MW at -π/3. Lower plasma loading and higher central heating efficiency are observed for counter-CD phasing. MSE measurement of the current profile is not yet available; therefore, the rf-driven portion of the plasma current is calculated from the difference in loop voltage between co- and counter-CD phasing. The normalized current drive efficiency for kz = 7.6 m-1 is γ∼ 0.035×1019 A•W-1•m-2 for both D and He plasmas. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In preparation for these studies, the available RF power in CDX-U has been increased to 0.5 MW. The operating frequency of the CDX-U RF transmitter was lowered to operate in the range of 8 – 10 MHz, providing access to the ion harmonic range 2Ω ∼ 4Ω in hydrogen. A similar regime is accessible for the 30 MHz RF system on NSTX, at 0.6 Tesla in hydrogen. Preliminary computational studies over the plasma regimes of interest for NSTX and CDX-U indicate the possibility of strong localized absorption on bulk ion species. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The ultimate goal of the project is to have the ability to apply up to 3 MW of 4.6 GHz rf power to drive current for the study of advanced tokamak operation on C-MOD. As part of the PPPL portion of the collaboration a high power wave-guide launching array has been designed and constructed to support 1.5 MW application to the plasma based on previous experimental power limits (and possibly supporting 2 MW application with advanced conditioning). In this paper we will describe the construction, calibration and testing techniques utilized and the results obtained during the construction phase. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Source power is >4.0 MW for pulse lengths ≤2.1 s and ∼2.8 MW for 5.0 s. The rf beams can be steered poloidally across the tokamak upper half plane at off-perpendicular injection angles in the toroidal direction up to ±20°. Measured transmission line loss is about -1 dB for the longest line, which is 92 m long with 11 miter bends. Coupling efficiency into the waveguide is ∼93% for the Gaussian rf beams. The transmission lines are evacuated and windowless except for the gyrotron output window and include flexible control of the elliptical polarization of the injected rf beam with remote controlled grooved mirrors in two of the miter bends on each line. The injected power can be modulated according to a predetermined program or controlled by the DIII-D plasma control system using real time feedback based on diagnostic signals obtained during the plasma pulse. Three gyrotrons have operated at 1.0 MW output power for 5.0 s. Peak central temperatures of the artificially grown diamond gyrotron output windows are <180°C at equilibrium. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Experiments on the DIII-D tokamak show that the maximum shrinkage of the m=2/n=1 island amplitude occurs when the ECCD location coincides with the q=2 surface. Estimates of the ECCD radial profile width from the island shrinkage are consistent with ray tracing calculations but may allow for a factor-of-1.5 broadening from electron radial transport. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This is an attractive heating scheme for the overdense reversed field pinch plasma, where electron cyclotron heating and current drive are inaccessible. Low power experiments (∼ 1 watt) have shown that a significant fraction of launched electromagnetic power successfully couples to the electron Bernstein wave. Furthermore, these experiments have found an optimized launch with finite n⊥. Initial results from experiments at moderate power (∼ 150 kW for several milliseconds, driven by a pair of S-band traveling wave tube amplifiers) are presented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The mode conversion between ordinary or extra-ordinary waves and EBW depends on density gradients in the plasma edge, the angle of incidence, and the polarization of the incoming waves. General considerations for the efficiency of mode conversion to EBW in stellarator geometries are discussed. For cold, dense edge-plasma conditions, Coulomb collisions can cause parasitic absorption in the initial propagation region of the EBW, but collisional damping should not be a problem for the sharp edge gradients and temperatures >= 50 eV in the Quasi-Poloidal Stellarator (QPS). Scenarios for using fixed launch angles with polarization optimization to maximize transmission during the density evolution in QPS are possible. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

An X-mode antenna with radially adjustable limiters successfully controlled EBW MC on CDX-U and enhanced MC efficiency to ∼ 100%. So far the X-mode MC efficiency on NSTX has been increased by a similar technique to 40–50% and future experiments are focused on achieving >= 80% MC. MC efficiencies on both machines agree well with theoretical predictions. Ray tracing and Fokker-Planck modeling for NSTX equilibria are being conducted to support the design of a 3 MW, 15 GHz EBW heating and CD system for NSTX to assist non-inductive plasma startup, current ramp up, and to provide local electron heating and CD in high β NSTX plasmas. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The high degree of ionization and a low neutral background pressure are important to eliminate the problem of radial loss and axial drag due to charge exchange. We have performed parametric (e.g. gas flow, power (0.5 – 3 kW), and magnetic field studies of a helicon operating with gas (D2 or He) injected at one end, with a high magnetic mirror downstream of the antenna. The downstream mirror field has little effect on the exhaust flux up to a mirror ratio of 10. We have explored operation with a cusp and a mirror field upstream. The application of a cusp increases the plasma flux in the exhaust by a factor of two. Plasma flows into a large (5 m3) vacuum (< 10-4 torr) chamber at velocities higher than the ion sound speed. High densities (∼ 1019 m-3) have been achieved at the location where ICRF will be applied, just downstream of the magnetic mirror. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

RF power with a frequency of 2 MHz is delivered to the ion source by an 80-kW pulsed power supply generating nominal pulses 1 ms in width with a 60-Hz repetition rate. The ion source—designed, constructed and commissioned at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)—satisfies the basic requirements of commissioning and early operation of the SNS accelerator. To improve reliability of the ion source and consequently the availability of the SNS accelerator and to accommodate facility upgrade plans, we are developing optimal RF-plasma-coupling systems at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). To date, our efforts have focused on design and development of internal and external ion source antennas having long operational lifetimes and the development and characterization of efficient RF matching networks. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In these experiments, the confined plasma is often characterized by the presence of a significant population of non-thermal species arising from neutral beam injection, from acceleration of the particles by the applied waves, or from copious fusion reactions in future devices. Such non-thermal species may alter the wave propagation as well as the wave absorption dynamics in the plasma. Previous studies have treated the corresponding velocity distributions as either equivalent Maxwellians, or else have included realistic distributions only in the finite Larmor radius limit. In this work, the hot plasma dielectric response of the plasma has been generalized to treat arbitrary distribution functions in the non-relativistic limit. The generalized dielectric tensor has been incorporated into a one-dimensional full wave all-orders kinetic field code. Initial comparative studies of ion cyclotron range of frequency wave propagation and heating in plasmas with nonthermal species, represented by realistic distribution functions or by appropriately defined equivalent Maxwellians, have been completed for some specific experiments and are presented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In the presence of a poloidal magnetic field, mode conversion near the ion-ion hybrid resonance is dominated by a transition from the fast magnetosonic wave to the slow ion cyclotron wave. The poloidal field generates strong variations in the parallel wave spectrum that cause wave damping in a narrow layer near the mode conversion surface. The resulting poloidal forces drive sheared poloidal flows comparable to those in direct launch ion Bernstein wave experiments. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Here, an accounting of how momentum is injected into the system by the antenna, and how it can be transferred from waves to plasma flows and to the equilibrium magnetic field coils and walls is given. Equations for both the plasma momentum and the wave momentum are developed. The former is a recapitulation of results from nonlinear flow drive theory. The latter equation yields a generalized form of the Maxwell stress tensor, including plasma dielectric effects. It is shown that momentum is conserved by the plasma-wave-antenna-wall system for poloidal and toroidal flux-surface-averaged flows. In general, however, momentum exchange with the equilibrium magnetic field coils is possible. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this paper, a general form for the hot plasma dielectric tensor for non-Maxwellian distributions is derived that is valid in the finite Larmor radius approximation. This model provides some insight into understanding the limitations on representing non-Maxwellian plasma species with equivalent Maxwellian components in modeling RF wave propagation and absorption. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 75 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 6901 EP - 6905 SN - 00032700 AB - The interstitial spaces between spherical particles in a packed column can act as a sieve that passes microorganisms below a certain size. If the bed is a perfusion-type material (containing a binary distribution of large and small pores), colloidal-size microorganisms are subject only to pore exclusion, while all molecules are subject to size exclusion among the various pores. Thus, microorganisms elute first, followed by macromolecules, and then small molecules. Coupling this separation method to an ICP magnetic sector mass spectrometer provides a sensitive, direct means to study the microbial uptake of heavy metals (i.e., uranium) from theft surrounding environments. Multiple metal ions can be monitored in the microorganism and in the surrounding solution. In this way, definitive information can be provided for the remediation of radioactive waste sites. The effect of uranium on microbial growth is also discussed.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 75 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 6975 EP - 6986 SN - 00032700 AB - The moment analysis of elution peak profiles based on new moment equations provides information on the mass- transfer characteristics of C[SUB18]-silica monolithic columns. The flow rate dependence of the HETP data was analyzed using the generalized van Deemter equation, after correction of these data by subtraction of the external mass- transfer contribution to band broadening. Kinetic parameters and diffusion coefficients related to the mass-transfer processes in monolithic columns were derived by taking advantage of the different flow velocity dependence of theft contributions to band broadening. At high flow rates, axial dispersion and diffusive migration across the monolithic C18-silica skeleton contribute much to band broadening, suggesting that it remains important to reduce the influence of eddy diffusion and the mass-transfer resistance in the stationary phase to achieve fast separations and a high efficiency. Surface diffusion plays a predominant role for molecular migration in the monolithic stationary phase. Although the value of the surface diffusion coefficient (D[SUB8]) depends on an estimate of the external mass- transfer coefficient, D[SUB8] values of the order of 10[SUP-7] were calculated for the first time for the C[SUB18]-siica monolithic skeleton. The value of D[SUB8] decreases with increasing retention of sample compounds. Analysis of a kind of lime constant calculated from D[SUB8] suggests that the "chromatographic corresponding particle size" is ∼4 μm for the C[SUB18]-silica monolithic stationary phase used in this study. The accuracy of the D[SUB8] values determined was discussed.

Excimer laser absorption photographs show expansion of metallic plasmas on a time scale of order 100 ns. The edge of this plasma plume begins to develop structures resembling a caterpillar only after the current pulse reaches its peak value. The growth of these caterpillar structures is shown to be consistent with the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of the decelerating plasma plume front at the later stage of the current pulse. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

In the presence of both zerovalent and divalent lead and zerovalent copper in subcritical water (350 °C, 1 h), 99% of the Aroclor 1254 mixture (tetra- to heptachlorinated biphenyls) was dechlorinated. High dechlorination (ca. 95%) was also achieved with zerovalent aluminum. In contrast to other metals, lead retained its degradation ability at a lower temperature of 250 °C after 18 h. The high degradation efficiency achieved using metal additives in water at reasonable temperatures and pressures demonstrates the potential for subcritical water dechlorination of PCBs in paint scrapings and, potentially, in other solid and liquid wastes.

SN - 14346044 AB - Cross sections for e+ p charged current deep inelastic scattering at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV have been determined with an integrated luminosity of 60.9 pb1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The differential cross sections dσ/dQ2, dσ/dx and dσ/dy for Q2 200 GeV2 are presented. In addition, d2σ/dxdQ2 has been measured in the kinematic range 280 GeV2< Q2< 17 000 GeV2 and 0.008 < x< 0.42. The predictions of the Standard Model agree well with the measured cross sections. The mass of the W boson propagator is determined to be MW = 78.9 ± 2.0 (stat.) ± 1.8 (syst.)+2-1.8 (PDF) GeV from a fit to dσ/dQ2. The chiral structure of the Standard Model is also investigated in terms of the (1-y)2 dependence of the double-differential cross section. The structure-function FCC 2 has been extracted by combining the measurements presented here with previous ZEUS results from e-p scattering, extending the measurement obtained in a neutrino-nucleus scattering experiment to a significantly higher Q2 region.

T1 - Polytype distribution of circumstellar silicon carbide: microstructural characterization by transmission electron microscopy JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 67 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 4743 SN - 00167037 AB - Silicon carbide (SiC) is a particularly interesting species of presolar grain because it is known to form on the order of a hundred different polytypes in the laboratory, and the formation of a particular polytype is sensitive to growth conditions. Astronomical evidence for the formation of SiC in expanding circumstellar atmospheres of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) carbon stars is provided by infrared (IR) studies. However, identification of the crystallographic structure of SiC from IR spectra is controversial. Since >95% of the presolar SiC isolated from meteorites formed around carbon stars, a determination of the structure of presolar SiC is, to first order, a direct determination of the structure of circumstellar SiC. We therefore determined the polytype distribution of presolar SiC from the Murchison CM2 carbonaceous meteorite using analytical and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). High-resolution lattice images and electron diffraction of 508 individual SiC grains demonstrate that only two polytypes are present, the cubic 3C (β-SiC) polytype (79.4% of population by number) and the hexagonal 2H (α-SiC) polytype (2.7%). Intergrowths of these two polytypes are relatively abundant (17.1%). No other polytypes were found. A small population of one-dimensionally disordered SiC grains (0.9%), whose high density of stacking faults precluded classification as any polytype, was also observed. The presolar origin of 2H α-SiC is unambiguously established by tens-of-nanometers-resolution secondary ion mass spectroscopy (NanoSIMS). Isotopic maps of a TEM-characterized 2H α-SiC grain exhibit non-solar isotopic compositions of 12C/13C = 64 ± 4 and 14N/15N = 575 ± 24. These measurements are consistent with mainstream presolar SiC thought to originate in the expanding atmospheres of AGB carbon stars. Equilibrium condensation calculations together with inferred mineral condensation sequences predict relatively low SiC condensation temperatures in carbon stars. The laboratory observed condensation temperatures of 2H and 3C SiC are generally the lowest of all SiC polytypes and fall within the predictions of the equilibrium calculations. These points account for the occurrence of only 2H and 3C polytypes of SiC in circumstellar outflows. The 2H and 3C SiC polytypes presumably condense at different radii (i.e., temperatures) in the expanding stellar atmospheres of AGB carbon stars.

They are accessible by proton loss and formation of oxo or nitrido ligands, examples being cis-[Ru[supIV](bpy)[sub2](py)-(O)][sup2+] (Ru[supIV]=O[sup2+], bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and py = pyridine) and trans-[Os[supVI](tpy)(Cl)[sub2](N)][sup+] (tpy = 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) Metal--oxo or metal--nitrido multiple bonding stabilizes the higher oxidation states and greatly influences reactivity. O-atom transfer, hydride transfer, epoxidation, C-H insertion, and proton-coupled electron-transfer mechanisms have been identified in the oxidation of organics by Ru[supIV]=O[sup2+]. The Ru-O multiple bond inhibits electron transfer and promotes complex mechanisms. Both O atoms can be used for O-atom transfer by trans-[Ru[supVI](tpy)(O)[sub3](S)][sup2+] (S = CH[sub3]CN or H[sub2]O). Four-electron, four-proton oxidation of cis,cis-[(bpy)[sub2](H[sub2]O)Ru[supIII]-O-Ru[supIII](H[sub2]O)(bpy)[sub2]][sup4+] occurs to give cis,cis-[(bpy)[sub2](O)Ru[supV]-O-Ru[supV](O)(bpy)[sub2]][sup4+] which rapidly evolves O[sub2]. Oxidation of NH[sub3] in trans-[Os[supII](tpy)(Cl)[sub2]-(NH[sub3])] gives trans-[Os[supVI](tpy)(Cl)[sub2](N)][sup+] through a series of one-electron intermediates. It and related nitrido complexes undergo formal N[sup-] transfer analogous to O-atom transfer by Ru[supIV]=O[sup2+]. With secondary amines, the products are the hydrazido complexes, cis- and trans-[Os[supV](L[sub3])(Cl)[sub2](NNR[sub2])][sup+] (L3 = tpy or tpm and NR[sup-],[sub2] = morpholide, piperidide, or diethylamide). Reactions with aryl thiols and secondary phosphines give the analogous adducts cis- and trans- [Os[supIV](tpy)(Cl)[sub2](NS(H)(C[sub6]H[sub4]Me))][sup+]and fac-[Os[supIV](Tp)(Cl)[sub2](Np(H)(Et[sub2]))] In dry CH[sub3]CN, all have an extensive multiple oxidation state chemistry based on couples from Os(VI/V) to Os(III/II).

In this study, single-crystal X-ray diffraction indicates that Si and Ge atoms are neither completely ordered nor randomly mixed among the three crystallographic sites for these elements in these structures. Ge atoms enrich the T sites linking the characteristic slabs in these structures, while Si atoms enrich the T sites within them. Decomposition of the total energy into site and bond energy terms provides a rationale for the observed distribution, which can be explained by symmetry and electronegativity arguments. For any composition in Gd[sub5](Si[subx]Ge[sub1-x])[sub4], a structure map is presented that will allow for a rapid assessment of the specific structure type.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 42 IS - 25 M3 - Article SP - 8371 EP - 8376 SN - 00201669 AB - Single crystals of TaAl[sub3] were grown at high temperatures from an Al-rich, binary solution. TaAl[sub3] adopts the D0[sub22] structure type, space group I4/mmm with a = 3.8412(5) Å c = 8.5402(17) Å, and Z = 2. The structure type, which is the preferred structure for all group 5 trialuminides and TiAl[sub3] as well as the high-temperature form of HfAl[sub3], is a binary coloring of the face-centered-cubic (fcc) arrangement. The distribution of Ta atoms creates a three-dimensional network of vertex and edge-sharing square pyramids of Al atoms. Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements are consistent with TaAl[sub3] being a metallic compound with a relatively low density of states at the Fermi surface. Furthermore, tight-binding electronic structure calculations are utilized to describe the bonding in these compounds and to compare their stability with respect to the alternative fcc-related, e.g., the D0[sub23] (ZrAl[sub3]-type) and the L1[sub2] (AuCu[sub3]-type), structures. A modified Wade's rule argument provides insights into the structural preferences.

Pigs exposed to apramycin sulfate received that antibiotic in the feed at a concentration of 150 g/ton for 14 days. Environmental treatments were applied 5 days following initial antibiotic administration and maintained throughout the study. Fecal samples were obtained on day 0 (prior to antibiotic treatment) and on days 2, 7, 14, 28, 64, 148, and 149. E. coli were isolated and tested for resistance to apramycin using a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) broth microdilution method. Macrorestriction profiling, arbitrarily primed PCR, PCR targeting a gene coding for apramycin resistance, and DNA hybridization were used to characterize genetic elements of resistance. Increased (P<0.0001) resistance to apramycin was noted in E. coli from all treatment groups administered apramycin. MICs of isolates from control pigs receiving apramycin returned to pretreatment levels following removal of the antibiotic, whereas isolates from cold stress, overcrowding, and oxytetracycline groups expressed greater (P<0.05) MICs through day 64, before returning to pretreatment levels. Genetic analysis indicated that all resistant isolates carried the aac(3)IV gene sequence and this sequence was found in a variety of E. coli isotypes. Our data indicate that E. coli resistance to apramycin is increased upon exposure to various stressors.

It is also shown that failure surface orientations decompose into those of ductile type versus those of brittle type. Experimental data on failure surface orientations have been obtained for carbon fiber composite systems based on both thermoplastic and thermosetting matrix materials. Average compression failure planes for the different composite materials were measured to range from 31° to 38° from the load axis. Reasonable agreement was obtained between these measured angles and those predicted from application of the new failure theory.

It is demonstrated that 1-nm-thick Fe films are in the superparamagnetic state, and the blocking temperature is strongly dependent on the growth temperature. The blocking temperature has a minimum value of 30 K for a growth temperature of 473 K, while it is ∼70 K at other growth temperatures. In order to clarify the behavior, we consider the Fe growth mechanism and the magnetic interactions between Fe particles. Fe grows as three-dimensional islands at all temperatures studied and forms particles. The volume of the particles is observed via atomic force microscopy to increase with increasing growth temperature. In the case of growth at 323 and 373 K, Fe forms small particles that are close together and that interact with each other. For growth at 673 and 773 K, Fe forms relatively large particles and the magnetic properties are dominated by the individual particles. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

There are distinctive parameter regions, where multiple phaselike forms coexist (CuO/Cu[sub 2]O and Cu[sub 2]O/Cu), in agreement with theoretical prediction for small systems, and as opposite to the sharp phase boundaries for the bulk. Observed changes in the nanocluster composition are found to correlate with differences in cluster morphologies. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The results show that the structure of amorphous BeD[sub 2] is comprised of corner-sharing tetrahedra and is therefore analogous to amorphous H[sub 2]O and BeF[sub 2]. A substantial increase in the height of the first sharp x-ray diffraction peak of BeD[sub 2] compared to BeH[sub 2] is interpreted as a marked increase in the extent of intermediate range order in BeD[sub 2] due to stronger network formation. A real-space comparison with liquid water, reveals that the structural isotopic quantum effects are quite different in the two hydrides. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

I notice that these counter-examples have only a single spurious pole and that a patchwork of just two subsequences of diagonal Pade´ approximants provides uniform convergence in compact subsets of |z|<1. I find that both counter-examples can be characterized by the observation that they are associated with bounded J-matrices. I prove a number of results for the convergence of diagonal Pade´ approximants to functions which have bounded J-matrices.

The computational geometry corresponds very closely to the 1000-l crystallizers currently in use at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for the growth of KDP crystals for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). In a related paper (J. Crystal Growth 222 (2000) 263), the temporal and spatial character of the three-dimensional, time-dependent, turbulent flow field was discussed. This paper presents the corresponding results concerning the mass transfer occurring at the crystal surface during the rapid growth process. Emphasis is placed on studying the surface concentration or supersaturation distribution, since it is critically involved in the processes of morphological instability and inclusion formation. The temporal and spatial evolution of the surface supersaturation is studied as a function of crystal size, growth rate, and rotation conditions.

X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermal analysis and magnetic measurement were conducted on the as-quenched alloys to investigate their structural and magnetic characteristics. RS Nd2Fe14B alloys may display a variety of microstructures depending upon the thermal history of the melt before ejection: it was possible to synthesize an entirely amorphous structure, a partially amorphous structure containing nuclei and/or nanophases and a nanocrystalline structure. The relationship between the formation of crystalline nuclei or nanophases and the thermal history of the melt was studied. A lower melt ejection temperature produced a nanocrystalline microstructure, while higher melt ejection temperatures (T>1723 K) largely eliminated the presence of nuclei and associated nanophases and produced an amorphous product. The experimental results indicated that optimization of the melt treatment conditions will produce rapidly solidified Nd–Fe–B alloys with a more uniform microstructure.

TEM analyses showed a microstructure typical of aerogels, with a connected matrix of ∼10-nm diameter particles and an open pore network. Subsequent thermal processing converts the initial aerogels to a high surface-area material comprised of Al2O3 and Cr2C3. Addition of ∼6% SiO2, relative to Al results in an increased retention of surface area at high temperatures. Surface areas of the aerogels after supercritical drying ranged from 240 to 700 m2/g, while after treatment at 1000 °C values ranged from 110 to 170 m2/g. The composition which showed the greatest temperature stability was 2(0.94Al2O3 · 0.06SiO2)Cr2O3. After treatment at 1000 °C, all a samples contained a large number of crystallites of the Cr2O3 phase, eskolaite, with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 μm. An additional unidentified phase may also be present. The presence of these larger crystallites leads to a lower transmittance in the near-IR due to increased scattering.

The D2O molecule can be bonded to two oxygen atoms of the crown cavity in a bridged configuration that is characterized by a broad peak at 2590 cm-1. The D2O molecule can also form one hydrogen bond with an oxygen atom of the crown cavity that can be characterized by two peaks at 2679 and 2733 cm-1, with the former assigned to the hydrogen-bonded O-D stretching and the latter the unbonded O-D stretching. The equilibrium constants of the two configurations in supercritical CO2 have been calculated. The enthalpy of formation is -12 ± 2 kJ mol-1 for the single-hydrogen-bond complex and -38 ± 3 kJ mol-1 for the bridged configuration complex. At high 18-crown-6 to D2O ratios, the formation of another complex in supercritical CO2 that involves one D2O molecule hydrogen bonded to two 18-crown-6 molecules becomes possible.

We show that despite complications associated with a high, 8-fold degeneracy of the lowest quantized states and fast, nonradiative Auger recombination, optical gain parameters of PbSe NCs are comparable to those of CdSe NCs used for light amplification in the visible. These results indicate that previous unsuccessful attempts to realize the lasing regime in NCs of lead salts were not due to intrinsic physical reasons but likely resulted from material quality issues. By using a novel sol-gel procedure that provides both good quality surface passivation and high NC filling factors (>15%), we fabricate PbSe NC/sol-gel nanocomposites that produce ASE, which is tunable via NC size, in the near-IR. This finding indicates the feasibility of NC-based amplifiers and lasers tunable in the near-IR range and, in particular, in the range of telecommunication windows.

For a single monolayer, we observe a distribution of transfer times from ~50 ps to ~10 ns, which can be quantitatively modeled assuming that the energy transfer is dominated by interactions of a donor nanocrystal with acceptor nanocrystals from the first three “shells” surrounding the donor. We also detect an effective enhancement of the absorption cross section (up to a factor of 4) for larger nanocrystals on the “red” side of the size distribution, which results from strong, interdot electrostatic coupling in the LB film (the light-harvesting antenna effect). By assembling bilayers of nanocrystals of two different sizes, we are able to improve the donor-acceptor spectral overlap for engineered transfer in a specific (“vertical”) direction. These bilayers show a fast, unidirectional energy flow with a time constant of ~120 ps.

In contrast, nonuniform porosity with irregular pore structures is inferred from similar data for negative silica wood replicas (SWR(-)) prepared under basic conditions. This contrasts with results from N2 adsorption and TEM measurements that indicate regular nanoporous channels in both cases. From 13C MAS NMR spectra, significant leaching of wood lignin was found to occur under acidic but was not evident for samples subjected to basic treatment. 29Si MAS NMR spectra revealed higher hydroxylation levels for the silica replica prepared under acidic conditions compared to those observed in samples prepared under basic conditions. 2D WISE NMR experiments showed increased mobility of protons associated with the organic functional groups in cellulose after acidic treatment when compared with the dry and base-treated wood. Reported NMR data provide compelling evidence for the proposed mechanism of surfactant directed mineralization of wood cellular structures in acidic and basic solutions.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2003/12/15/ VL - 107 IS - 50 M3 - Article SP - 13976 EP - 13985 SN - 15206106 AB - Synchrotron-based temperature-programmed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (TPXPS) in combination with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) has been used to track C-Cl scission in the reaction of 1-chloro-2-methyl-2-propanol (Cl-tert-BuOH) on oxygen-containing Ag(110) surfaces. The results show that the oxygen pre-coverage strongly influences the cleavage of the C-Cl bond. At low coverages, C-Cl scission of chloro-t-butoxide intermediates begins at 200 K and isobutylene oxide (IBO) appears with a peak temperature of 235 K; at higher coverages, the onset of C-Cl scission is shifted upward by 50 K and the IBO peak by 80 K. Quantitative models for the surface reaction kinetics were developed from the experimental data. These show that the reaction of adsorbed intermediates does not occur by an SN2 process that releases IBO directly into the gas phase. Instead, C-Cl scission deposits organic intermediates or products on the surface, and the appearance of IBO in the gas-phase lags the appearance of atomic chlorine on the surface. For the lower temperature channel, the rate of IBO evolution in TPD is influenced by the kinetics of both C-Cl scission and molecular IBO desorption. At higher temperatures, surface diffusion processes to open surface sites limit the rate of IBO production. Comparison with results for chlorine diffusion into silver suggests that this is the relevant diffusion process.

The molecular dynamics (MD) results were coupled to electron scattering simulations in order to generate the Ca2+ and Sr2+ extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra. These MD-XAFS spectra were found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental measurements including both the ion-oxygen and the ion-hydrogen distances for the first hydration shell. This work demonstrates that the combination of MD-EXAFS, and the corresponding experiment measurement provides a powerful tool in the analysis of the solvation structure of aqueous ionic solutions. The Ca2+-methanol interaction was also developed, and the dilute Ca2+ MD-EXAFS spectrum in liquid methanol was also predicted using the same approach.

Particularly, focusing on mutually commensurate choices for the three inherent length scales of the system allows us to consider the formation of commensurate structures during sliding over the multiple-well on-site potential. These structures characterize the dynamical states observed during the chain motion at different strengths of the imposed driving. We comment on the nature of the particle dynamics in the vicinity of the pinning–depinning transition point and investigate the role played by the coverage variable on the depinning mechanism. The dependence of the minimal force required to initiate the chain motion (static friction) on the ratio of the model interaction strengths is analyzed and compared to the well-known case of the Frenkel–Kontorova model.

The central formalism of Jens Lindhard, describing the “particle–solid interaction”, provides a valuable quantitative guide to statistically meaningful quantities such as energy loss, ranges, range straggling, channeling effects, sputtering coefficients, and damage intensity and profiles. Modern materials modification (nanoscience, solid state dynamics) requires atomic scale control of the particle–solid interaction. Two recent experimental examples are discussed: (1) the control of the size distribution of nanocrystals formed in implanted materials and (2) the investigation of the site-specific implantation of hydrogen into silicon. Both cases illustrate unique solid-state configurations, created by ion implantation, that address issues of current materials science interest.

Such large negative exponents have not been explained by any simple physical mechanism. We reported electron microscopy studies of the size distributions of the larger nanoparticles (n>500) that are sputtered from the surface by high-energy ion impacts. These measurements also yielded an inverse power law, but one with an exponent of −2, and one that is independent of total sputtering yield. This inverse-square dependence indicates that the clusters are produced when shock waves, generated by sub-surface displacement cascades, impact and ablate the surface. Many smaller clusters can result from fragmentation of these larger ones, which helps explain the large negative exponents that have been reported previously. In this paper, we briefly review the previous results. In addition, we present new results demonstrating that the same inverse-square size distribution is generated in both transmission and reflection sputtering geometries.An important corollary from these results is that the sputtered nanoparticles consist of simple fragments of the original surface, that is particles which have not experienced any large thermal excursions. Hence high-energy ion sputtering should provide a convenient method for synthesizing a broad distribution of nanoparticles of a wide variety of alloy phases.

With point form kinematics and spectator currents hadronic form factors are functions of η:=1/4(vout−vin)2 and, over a range of η values, are insensitive to unitary scale transformations of the model wave functions when the extent of the wave function is small compared to the scale defined by the constituent mass, 〈r2〉≪1/m2. The form factors are sensitive to the shape of such compact wave functions. Simple 3-quark proton wave functions are employed to illustrate these features. Rational and algebraic model wave functions lead to a reasonable representation of the empirical form factors, while Gaussian wave functions fail. In point form kinematics the form factors have nontrivial behavior in the limit 〈r2〉m2=0 with power law behavior for large values of η.

For heavily doped samples with x⩾0.15 and with y⩾0.10, there are not the insulating-metallic transition associated with the paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition. It is suggested that the MnO6 octahedron neighboring Mg/Zn is contorted by Mg/Zn doping and the Jahn–Teller (JT) distortion of the Mn3+ ion in contorted MnO6 octahedron is different from that in conventional MnO6 octahedron. The eg carriers must overcome the energy gap caused by different JT distortion. This is the origin of insulating behavior in ferromagnetic state. This view can be proved by fitting XRD data and IR spectra. The conductive behavior is determined by thermal activation model.

This present paper describes dose response and post-irradiation characteristics of the green fluorescence component from the same dosimeter film (Sunna Model γ), which is manufactured using the injection molding technique. This production method may supply batch sizes on the order of 1 million dosimeter film elements while maintaining a signal precision () on the order of ±1% without the need to correct for variability of film thickness. The dosimeter is a 1 cm×3 cm polymeric film of 0.5-mm thickness that emits green fluorescence at intensities increasing almost linearly with dose. The data presented include dose response, post-irradiation growth, heat treatment, dosimeter aging, dose rate dependence, energy dependence, dose fractionation, variation of response within a batch, and the stability of the fluorimeter response. The results indicate that, as a routine dosimeter, the green signal provides a broad range of response at food irradiation (0.3–5 kGy), medical sterilization (5–40 kGy), and polymer cross-linking (40–250 kGy) dose levels.

This present paper describes the environmental effects on the response of the green fluorescence component of the same dosimeter, which is manufactured using the injection molding technique. The results presented include temperature, relative humidity, and light influences both during and after irradiation. The green fluorescence signal shows a significant dependence on irradiation temperature below room temperature at 1%/°C. Above room temperature (approximately 24–60°C), the irradiation temperature effect varies from −0.1%/°C to 1.0%/°C, depending on the absorbed dose level. For facilities with irradiation temperatures between 30°C and 60°C and absorbed dose levels above 10 kGy, irradiation temperature effects are minimal. Light-effects results indicate that the dosimeter is influenced by ultraviolet and blue wavelengths during irradiation as well as during the post-irradiation stabilization period (approximately 22 h), requiring the use of light-tight packaging. Results also show that the dosimeter exhibits negligible effects from ambient moisture during and after irradiation when in the range of 33–95% relative humidity.

These FETs exhibit effective hole channel mobility μeff up to 0.15 cm2/Vs and on–off ratios up to 2×107. Using measured values of μeff, thermal activation energy, and a simple model, we deduce an intrinsic free carrier mobility in the range of tens of cm2/Vs, similar to that found in pentacene crystals. These values should be considered only as a rough indication of achievable mobilities in samples much purer than those presently studied. The obtained results show the possibility of FET behavior in transparent crystals with low intrinsic carrier density.

Extended solubility ranges were found to exist at constant Cd/Sn ratio for the bixbyite, spinel and orthorhombic perovskite phases. This is attributed to the isovalent and nearly size-matched nature of the co-substitution. Still larger solubility ranges were found for metastably-processed thin films. Co-doped bixyite and spinel phases were found to be inherently off-stoichiometric with respect to cation composition, leading to self-doped n-type character, in bulk and films. A correlation was found between optimized conductivity in the various phases and the density of octahedral Cd, In and/or Sn species in their crystal structures.

At the same time, it strongly affects performance of high-energy accelerators and colliders. For the well controlled beam, the loss is typically associated with the low density halo surrounding beam core. There are many mechanisms which contribute to halo formation. Some of them are more important for linear accelerators while other are more relevant to circular machines. In order to minimize uncontrolled beam loss or improve performance of an accelerator, it is very important to understand what are the sources of halo formation, as well as which of them can have significant contribution for a specific machine of interest. In this paper, we overview various mechanisms of halo formation. We then specifically discuss which effects are expected to be dominant in linear accelerator and which effects dominate in rings, concentrating on high-intensity machines. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Principles and realization are described for a reliable beam collimation system required to sustain favorable background conditions in the collider detectors, provide quench stability of superconducting magnets, minimize irradiation of accelerator equipment, maintain operational reliability over the life of the machine, and reduce the impact of radiation on personnel and the environment. Based on detailed Monte-Carlo simulations, such a system has been designed and incorporated in the Tevatron collider. Its performance, comparison to measurements and possible ways to further improve the collimation efficiency are described in detail. Specifics of the collimation systems designed for the SSC, LHC, VLHC, and HERA colliders are discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

To produce sufficient intensities of secondary beams the driver linac will provide 400 kW accelerated beams of any ion from hydrogen to uranium. A detailed design has been developed for the focusing-accelerating lattice of the RIA driver linac which is configured as an array of short SC cavities, each with independently controllable rf phase. To obtain high-power heavy-ion beams the driver linac uses simultaneous acceleration of multiple charge states and two strippers. End-to-end beam dynamics simulations in six-dimensional phase space were applied to study all possible sources of beam halo formation in the driver linac. The concept of a “beam-loss-free” linac is developed and implies beam halo collimation in designated areas. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Longitudinal Mismatch in SCL as a Source of Beam Halo. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/12/16/ VL - 693 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 69 EP - 72 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - An advantage of a proton Super-Conducting Linac (SCL) is that RF cavities can be operated independently, allowing easier beam transport and acceleration. But cavities are to be separated by drifts long enough to avoid they couple to each other. Moreover, cavities are placed in cryostats that include inactive insertions for cold-warm transitions; and interspersed are warm insertions for magnets and other devices. The SCL is then an alternating sequence of accelerating elements and drifts. No periodicity is present, and the longitudinal motion is not adiabatic. This has the consequence that the beam bunch ellipse will tumble, dilute and create a halo in the momentum plane because of inherent nonlinearities. When this is coupled to longitudinal space-charge forces, it may cause beam loss with latent activation of the accelerator components. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This report studies the impact of halo distribution of the linac beam on the efficiency of injection and the final beam distribution in the AGS as functions of the injection orbit bump and the foil thickness. Another important consideration is the residual radiation generated on the accelerator components near the injection area.

Emittances and beam widths were obtained from measured profiles for comparisons with maximum emittance predictions of a free-energy model and maximum halo-amplitude predictions of a particle-core model.

Diagnostics for halo prevention are standard fare in accumulators, synchrotrons, and storage rings, and again can be divided into two categories — diagnostics to measure the tune distribution (primarily to avoid resonances), and diagnostics to identify instabilities (which will not be discussed here). These diagnostic systems include kicked (coherent) tune measurement, phase-locked loop (PLL) tune measurement, Schottky tune measurement, beam transfer function (BTF) measurements, and measurement of transverse quadrupole mode envelope oscillations. We refer briefly to tune diagnostics used at RHIC and intended for the SNS, and then present experimental results. Tune-based diagnostics for halo measurement (as opposed to prevention) are considerably more difficult. We present one brief example of tune-based halo measurement. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The RHIC one-stage collimation system was used to reduce these backgrounds as well as losses at the abort kickers. Collimation performance and results from various runs with even and uneven species (Au-Au, pp and d-Au) are presented and compared. Upgrades of the system for the upcoming high luminosity runs are outlined. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A 400 MeV proton beam loss distribution, calculated with the STRUCT code, was used as a source term. The module locations in the ring and the curved tunnel sections were described by the MAD-MARS beam line builder and a deep penetration calculation with good statistics was carried out using a 3-dimensional multi-layer technique. Prompt dose-rate distributions were calculated inside and outside the concrete and soil shield, and an effective shielding design was made. The residual dose rates for various beam line materials were also calculated to estimate the external-exposures during maintenance. In this paper, the calculation results are exemplified for the region from the injection through the collimator. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/12/16/ VL - 693 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 162 EP - 166 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The collimating system in the accumulator ring and transfer lines of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project is responsible for stopping 0.1% of the 2 MW beam of 1.0 GeV protons that are in the beam halo. The collimating structures are a combination of movable beam scrapers and stationary absorbers. Specifically, pairs of charge-exchange foils or scrapers moving in-and-out of the beam in the vertical and horizontal directions help guide the halo protons into respective absorbers which consist of an intricate design of a double wall beam tube, a water-cooled particle bed and radial shielding. Off-momentum protons, with the help of respective charge exchange foils and a dipole magnet, are directed to a momentum dump consisting of a cooled particle bed downstream of a double-walled window separating it from the vacuum space. Addressed in this paper is the thermo-mechanical response and survivability of key components of the collimating system (such as the collimating beam tube in the absorbers, the beam windows and the primary element of the bean scraper structure) in the event of intercept of the full beam under accident conditions. While the potential for the full beam to be intercepted by these components is remote, still special attention will be paid in assessing the amount of full beam (or number of pulses) they can tolerate. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The prefires occured at Tevatron (Fermilab) during Run I and Run II are analyzed and a protection system implemented is described. The effect of accidental beam loss in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN on machine and detector components is studied via realistic Monte Carlo calculations. The simulations show that beam loss at an unsynchronized beam abort would result in severe heating of conventional and superconducting magnets and possible damage to the collider detector elements. A proposed set of collimators would reduce energy deposition effects to acceptable levels. Special attention is paid to reducing peak temperature rise within the septum magnet and minimizing quench region length downstream of the LHC beam abort straight section. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This was observed in heavy ion, and even more pronounced in proton collisions. Observations include measurements of beam-beam induced tune shifts, lifetime and emittance growth measurements with and without beam-beam interaction, and background rates as a function of tunes. In addition, RHIC is currently the only hadron collider in which strong-strong beam-beam effects can be seen. Coherent beam-beam modes were observed, and suppressed by tune changes. In this article we summarize the most important beam-beam observations made during stores so far. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Assuming a constant limit for the beam-beam tune shift, the bunch intensity can then be raised. In this way, a luminosity increase is possible. We review this strategy for proton beams in RHIC, with two collisions and consider six long bunches. Barrier cavities are used to fill every accelerating bucket of the machine, except for an abort gap, and to create the superbunches bunches at store. Resonances driven by the beam-beam interaction and coherent effects are neglected in this article. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Thus, the radio frequencies can differ when the phase and radial loops are closed, and the rf frequencies of the two rings are not synchronized. A radio frequency difference leads to longitudinally moving beam crossing points. When the crossing points are between the beam splitting dipoles, the beams experience the beam-beam interaction. Outside the interaction region the beam-beam interaction is switched off. In this way the tune is modulated. A computation of the tune modulation depth, pulse shape and frequency is presented. Tune modulation measurements are shown. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This tool calculates self-consistently the electromagnetic beam-beam forces for arbitrary distributions and separation during each collision when a strong-strong beam-beam interaction model is used. When a strong-weak model is used, the code has the option of using a Gaussian approximation for the strong beam. Using the strong-strong model, we have studied the effect of time modulated offset beam-beam interaction on the emittance growth in the RHIC and LHC. We observed an extra 0.04% emittance growth after 300,000 turns in the RHIC where the time-averaged beam-beam offset is one transverse rms beam size and the modulation frequency is 10 Hz. There is no significant additional emittance growth in the LHC after one million turns where the time-averaged offset is zero. Using the strong-weak model, we have also studied the antiproton lifetime subject to 72 long range beam-beam interactions at 150 GeV injection energy in the Tevatron. The simulation shows a qualitative agreement with the experimental observation of the smaller antiproton emittance having a longer lifetime. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We also determined their conformational flexibilities in solution by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) methods. These two peptides exhibit sequence homology and could be expected to exhibit similar association affinities with β-spectrin. However, our studies show that the affinity of αII-1--149 with SpβI-1898--2083 is much higher than that of SpαI-1--156. Our SAXS findings also indicate a significantly more extended conformation for SpαII-1--149 than for SpαI-1--156. The radius of gyration values obtained by two different analyses of SAXS data and by molecular modeling all show a value of about 25 Å for SpαI-1--156 and of about 30 Å for SpαII-1--149, despite the fact that SpαI-1--156 has seven amino acid residues more than SpαII-1--149. For SpαI-1--156, the SAXS results are consistent with a flexible junction between helix C' and the triple helical bundle that allows multiple orientations between these two structural elements, in good agreement with our published NMR analysis. The SAXS findings for SpαII-1--149 support the hypothesis that this junction region is rigid (and probably helical) for αII brain spectrin. The nature of the junction region, from one extreme as a random coil (conformationally mobile) segment in αI to another extreme as a rigid segment in αII, determines the orientation of helix C' relative to the first structural domain.

Studies in a variety of organisms have defined Asf1's role as a histone chaperone during DNA replication through specific interactions with histones H3/H4 and the histone deposition factor CAF-I. In addition to its role in replication, conserved interactions with proteins involved in chromatin silencing, transcription, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair have also established Asf1 as an important component of a number of chromatin assembly and modulation complexes.Results: We demonstrate that the highly conserved N-terminal domain of S. cerevisiae Asf1 (Asf1N) is the core region that mediates all tested functions of the full-length protein. The crystal structure of this core domain, determined to 1.5 A˚ resolution, reveals a compact immunoglobulin-like β sandwich fold topped by three helical linkers. The surface of Asf1 displays a conserved hydrophobic groove flanked on one side by an area of strong electronegative surface potential. These regions represent potential binding sites for histones and other interacting proteins. The structural model also allowed us to interpret mutagenesis studies of the human Asf1a/HIRA interaction and to functionally define the region of Asf1 responsible for Hir1-dependent telomeric silencing in budding yeast.Conclusions: The evolutionarily conserved, N-terminal 155 amino acids of histone deposition protein Asf1 are functional in vitro and in vivo. This core region of Asf1 adopts a compact immunoglobulin-fold structure with distinct surface characteristics, including a Hir protein binding region required for gene silencing.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2003/12/17/ VL - 125 IS - 50 M3 - Article SP - 15343 EP - 15351 SN - 00027863 AB - The acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase (ACDS) complex catalyzes the cleavage of acetyl-CoA in methanogens that metabolize acetate to CO[sub2] and CR[sub4], and also carries out acetyl-CoA synthesis during growth on one-carbon substrates. The ACDS complex contains five subunits, among which β possesses an Ni-Fe-S active-site metal cluster, the A-cluster, at which reaction with acetyl-C0A takes place, generating an acetyl-enzyme species poised for C-C bond cleavage. We have used Ni and Fe K fluorescence XANES and EXAFS analyses to characterize these metals in the ACDS β subunit, expressed as a C-terminally shortened form. Fe XANES and EXAFS confirmed the presence of an [Fe4S4] cluster, with typical Fe-S and Fe-Fe distances of 2.3 and 2.7 Å respectively. An Fe:Ni ratio of ≃2:1 was found by Kaβ fluorescence analysis, indicating 2 Ni per [Fe[sub4]S[sub4]]. Ni XANES simulations were consistent with two distinct Ni sites in cluster A, and the observed spectrum could be modeled as the sum of separate square planar and tetrahedral Ni sites. Treatment of the β subunit with Ti[sup3+] citrate resulted in shifts to lower energy, implying significant reduction of the [Fe[sub4]S[sub4] center, along with conversion of a smaller fraction of Ni(ll) to Ni(l). Reaction with CO in the presence of Ti[sup3+] citrate generated a unique Ni XANES spectrum, while effects on the Fe- edge were not very different from the reaction with Ti[sup3+] alone. Ni EXAFS revealed an average Ni coordination of 2.5 S at 2.19 Å and 1.5 N/O at 1.89 Å. A distinct feature at ≃2.95 Å most likely results from Ni-Ni interaction. The methanogen β subunit A-cluster is proposed to consist of an [Fe4S4] cluster bridged to an Ni-Ni center with one Ni in square planar geometry coordinated by 2 S + 2 N and the other approximately tetrahedral with 3 S + 1 N/O ligands. The electronic consequences of two distinct Ni geometries are discussed.

Equilibrium thermodynamics, optical absorption and luminescence spectroscopies, high-energy X-ray scattering, EXAFS, and molecular dynamics simulations all support the formation of anionic Nd(tta)[sub4,sup-] or Eu(tta)[sub4,sup-] complexes with no water coordinated to the metal center in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)Sulfonyllimide (C[sub4]mim[sup+]Tf[sub2]N), rather than the hydrated, neutral complexes, M(fta)[sub3](H[sub2]O)[subn] (n = 2 or 3), that form in nonpolar molecular solvents, such as xylene or chloroform. The presence of anionic lanthanide complexes in C[sub4]mim[sup+]Tf[sub2]N is made possible by the exchange of the ionic liquid anions into the aqueous phase for the lanthanide complex. The resulting complexes in the ionic liquid phase should be thought of as weak C[sub4]mim[sup+]Ln(tta)[sub4,sup-] ion pairs which exert little influence on the structure of the ionic liquid phase.

T1 - A gravitationally lensed quasar with quadruple images separated by 14.62?arcseconds. JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2003/12/18/ VL - 426 IS - 6968 M3 - Article SP - 810 EP - 812 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for the study of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The cold-dark-matter model of the formation of large-scale structures (that is, clusters of galaxies and even larger assemblies) predicts the existence of quasars gravitationally lensed by concentrations of dark matter so massive that the quasar images would be split by over 7?arcsec. Numerous searches for large-separation lensed quasars have, however, been unsuccessful. All of the roughly 70 lensed quasars known, including the first lensed quasar discovered, have smaller separations that can be explained in terms of galaxy-scale concentrations of baryonic matter. Although gravitationally lensed galaxies with large separations are known, quasars are more useful cosmological probes because of the simplicity of the resulting lens systems. Here we report the discovery of a lensed quasar, SDSS J1004 + 4112, which has a maximum separation between the components of 14.62?arcsec. Such a large separation means that the lensing object must be dominated by dark matter. Our results are fully consistent with theoretical expectations based on the cold-dark-matter model.

Our results are compared to previous, color glass condensate inspired calculations of gluon production in heavy ion collisions. We revisit the predictions of the color glass condensate model for pA (dA) collisions in leading order and show that quantum evolution—in particular, the phenomenon of geometric scaling and change of anomalous dimensions—preserves the Cronin enhancement of pA cross section (when normalized to the leading twist term) in the leading order approximation even though the pt spectrum can change. We comment on the case when gluon radiation is included.

The experiment has been performed using linearly and circularly polarized light and by means of a time-of-flight electron analyzer and a Mott polarimeter. The dynamical as well as the transferred spin polarization of the emitted electrons have been determined. The theoretical data have been obtained within a relativistic distorted wave approximation applying a relaxed orbital method. Our numerical results obtained within an 8 configuration state function calculation are compared to the experimental data for the transferred spin polarization. Good agreement to the experiment has been found. Though single fine structure lines show a large dynamic spin polarization the theoretical data yield almost vanishing dynamic spin polarization for the Auger lines. A detailed analysis in terms of partial decay widths and relative phase shifts will be given. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Randomness may also be useful in quantum computers. However, to introduce a random evolution in a quantum computer, one needs much more than a coin, pair of dice, or roulette wheel: At any step, there is a continuous set of possible paths that a quantum computer could follow. In a typical quantum algorithm, the possible results of the final measurement are not uniformly distributed but are obtained according to a probability distribution that encodes the answer to the problem at hand. The state of a quantum computer with n qubits is described by a vector with N 2n components. Thus, the evolution of a quantum computer running a typical quantum algorithm is not random but deterministic. The authors demonstrate the simplicity of the method by implementing it in a toy quantum information processor using liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.

The solidification microstructure of the RSI was characterized in order to understand where the dross comes from and how it forms. Optical microscopy showed that severe interdendritic porosities and hot tears exist in the RSI. These cavities provide continuous channels that expose the internal interdendritic surfaces to the atmosphere outside of RSI. SEM revealed that the dendrites in the center of RSI are covered by magnesium and aluminum oxides. It is the oxidation of the surfaces of the interdendritic pores that results in a large amount of dross formation during the remelting of aluminum 5182 RSI.

SEM examination shows that reinforcement particle cracking perpendicular to the loading axis is the dominant failure mechanism for the composites. Because of the fine (diameter<10 μm) matrix and reinforcement particle sizes that match closely and a homogenous spatial distribution, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (Y.S.) of this model composite material were improved over the matrix properties by 111 and 220%, respectively, for the commercial purity composite sample. Remarkably, the UTS and Y.S. of the composite were improved over the matrix properties by 201 and 328%, respectively, for a high purity version of the composite material. The elastic modulus of the composite, in both versions, is very close to the theoretical upper bound value from the rule of mixtures estimation. This highly effective composite strengthening is also consistent with the good interface bonding between the spherical reinforcement particles and Al matrix that was revealed by fracture surface examination. Diffusion layer measurements at the Al/reinforcement interface by an Auger method verified the good bonding condition, as well.

Detailed analysis of oxygen spillover onto the catalyst surface indicates that the reactive area simply spreads over the surface as needed to support the current, leading to TPB widths of several hundred Angstroms. Lower adspecies surface diffusivities (due to catalyst crystallography), lower reactant partial pressures (due to electrode design), and higher current demands, generally shift the peak turnover number (TON) for H2O generation away from the TPB in practical SOFCs with cermet anodes. The diffusivity–coverage relationship (repulsive, neutral, or attractive adspecies interactions) affects the location of the TON peak on the catalyst surface in a non-monotonic manner, indicating that care should be taken when applying research data to models of practical SOFCs. The most detailed surface diffusion model investigated in this work indicates that the catalytic process is limited by oxygen surface diffusion on the metal particle.

This has dramatic consequences for the phenomenology of compact astrophysical objects. If we assume that at the Planck scale elementary particles interact via a universal four-point interaction and baryon number conservation is violated, then nucleons approaching an event horizon surface can disintegrate into gamma rays and high energy leptons. Integrating the Altarelli–Parisi equations to find the Planck scale parton distribution function for a nucleon, we find that nucleon decays produce a fluorescence gamma ray spectrum strikingly similar to that observed for cosmic gamma ray bursts.

Combined with first-principles band structure calculations we show that the fundamental optical properties of AlN differ drastically from that of GaN and other WZ semiconductors. The discrepancy in energy band gap values of AlN obtained previously by different methods is explained in terms of the optical selection rules in AlN and is confirmed by measurement of the polarization dependence of the excitonic PL spectra. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

We find that, with increasing film thickness and Ge fraction, a series of three-dimensional structures develop, starting from pits, and leading to quantum fortresses and ridges. The quantum fortress structures are of special significance because of their potential application in quantum cellular automata. We establish approximate boundaries in the parameter space of film thickness and Ge fraction, in which these structures form.

We show that the standard method in which one starts with an ensemble of chains with the correct end-to-end distance arranged randomly in the simulation cell and introduces the excluded volume rapidly, leads to deformation on short length scales. This deformation is strongest for long chains and relaxes only after the chains have moved their own size. Two methods are shown to overcome this local deformation of the chains. One method is to first pre-pack the Gaussian chains, which reduces the density fluctuations in the system, followed by a gradual introduction of the excluded volume. The second method is a double-bridging algorithm in which new bonds are formed across a pair of chains, creating two new chains each substantially different from the original. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods for a linear bead spring polymer model with both zero and nonzero bending stiffness, however the methods are applicable to more complex architectures such as branched and star polymer. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The complete active space multiconfiguration self-consistent field method followed by multireference singles plus doubles configuration interaction (MRSDCI) that included up to 48 million configuration spin functions have been used to compute several electronic states of these clusters. The geometries of ground and excited states of Nb[sub 3] and Nb[sub 3][sup -] are triangular. The ground states of both Nb[sub 3] ([sup 2]B[sub 1]) and Nb[sub 3][sup -] ([sup 1]A[sub 1]) have been found to be of low spin. The low-lying electronic states with degenerate symmetries in the D[sub 3h] group are distorted to the C[sub 2v] structure (from the ideal D[sub 3h]) due to the Jahn–Teller effect. On the basis of the energy separations of our computed electronic states of Nb[sub 3], we have assigned the observed photoelectron spectrum of Nb[sub 3][sup -]. We have also compared our MRSDCI results with density functional calculations. The electron affinity, ionization potential, dissociation and atomization energies of Nb[sub 3] have been calculated and the results have been found to be in excellent agreement with the experiment. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

These data were modeled for best agreement between the experimental data points and the adsorption isotherm model. The adsorption-energy distributions were also derived and used for the selection of the best isotherm model. Widely different models were obtained for these six compounds, four being convex upward (i.e., Langmuirian) and two having at least one inflection point. Overloaded band profiles corresponding to two different sample sizes (a low and a high loading factor) were recorded on six monolithic columns (#30–35) belonging to the same manufactured lot. These experimental band profiles were compared to the profiles calculated from the isotherm measured by FA on the first column, using the equilibrium-dispersive (ED) model of chromatography. For four of the six columns (#30, #32, #33, and #35), the reproducibility was better than 5 and 2.5%for the low and the high concentration profiles, respectively. On the other two columns (#31 and #34), the bands showed significant and systematic retention time shifts for all six compounds (with nearly identical band shapes), the relative adsorption being between 6 and 15% stronger on column #31 or between 2 and 7% lower on column #34. These differences seem to be correlated with the differences in the total porosities of these columns, which differ by 3% from columns #31 to #34, the higher porosity column giving the stronger adsorption.

The repository site is located in thick, partially saturated fractured tuff that will be heated to above-boiling temperatures as a result of heat generation from the decay of nuclear waste. Since water infiltrating down towards the repository will be subject to vigorous boiling for a significant time period, the superheated zone (i.e. rock temperature above the boiling point of water) may form an effective vaporization barrier that reduces the possibility of water arrival at emplacement drifts. In this paper, we analyze the behavior of episodic preferential flow events that penetrate down into the hot fractured rock zone, and evaluate the impact of such flow behavior on the effectiveness of the vaporization barrier. The characteristic features of episodic preferential flow are estimated from laboratory experiments and described by appropriate probability distributions. A semi-analytical solution is utilized to determine the complex flow processes in the hot rock environment. The solution is applied at several discrete times after emplacement, in order to cover the time period of strongly elevated temperatures at Yucca Mountain.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2003/12/22/ VL - 107 IS - 51 M3 - Article SP - 11414 EP - 11426 SN - 10895639 AB - The temperature and pressure dependence of the rate constant of the methyl-methyl recombination reaction with He bath gas has been studied using time-resolved time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Methyl radicals were produced by the 193 nm laser photolysis of acetone. In the observed temperature (300-700 K) and pressure (0.6-10 Torr) range, the rate constant exhibits a negative temperature dependence and falloff behavior typical for recombination reactions. The integrity of the measurements has been validated by determining the recombination rate constant with Ar (1 Torr) as the bath gas at room temperature and by analyzing the yield of the reaction product, ethane. In addition, rate constants were calculated theoretically using variable reaction coordinate transition state theory in a manner that improves upon the previous treatment of Wagner and Wardlaw by incorporating high-level ab initio results. The calculated high-pressure rate constant can be expressed as [inline equation] (T) = 7.42 × 10-11 (T/298 K)-0.69 e-88K/T cm3 molecule-1 s-1. With reasonable downward energy transfer parameters, the experimentally observed pressure dependence of the rate constants for Ar, He, and H2 bath gases were reproduced very well using master equation analysis. Troe's equation, describing the T and P dependence of the recombination rate constant, was fit to a set of data for He as bath gas comprised of rate constants from this work and taken from the literature. With k∞(T) set to be the high-pressure limit rate constant calculated here, the other remaining parameters can be given by k0(T) = 1.17 × 10-25 (T/298 K)-3.75 e-494 K/T cm6 molecule-2 s-1 and Fcent(T) = e-T/570K.

The potential energy surfaces of three important dihedral angles were calculated using the HF/3-21G(d) method. Each dihedral angle is represented by a distinct potential energy surface, while the identity of the R group has only a modest influence. DFT methods (B3LYP/6-31G(d)) were used to calculate the geometry and vibrational spectra of each molecule. Analysis of the theoretical vibrational data reveals numerous conserved modes that are localized on the terthiophene or phenyl groups. There is good agreement between the observed and calculated vibrational spectra of the molecules. Conformational changes have only a minor effect on the spectra. The calculated molecular orbitals, which are supported by electronic absorption measurements, suggest that the first excited state should have charge-transfer features for the molecules with strongly electron withdrawing or donating substituents.

Ge3N4 nanocrystals initially exhibit a higher bulk modulus of 381(2) GPa. But, above 20 GPa, the bulk modulus is apparently reduced to 268(4) GPa, which is similar to the reported bulk modulus of 208-296 GPa for the bulk Ge3N4. Thus, a threshold pressure of ~20 GPa was determined that signifies the onset of size-induced disappearance of elastic stiffness in nanocrystalline Ge3N4. Enhanced surface energy contributions to the shell layers of nanoparticles and resulting effect on the corresponding large d spacing planes are used to elucidate the observed phenomenon. This study provides a reasonable explanation for the different compressibility properties of numerous nanocrystals.

The quantum dots are prepared in situ in nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) films. The conduction band offset between the CdS QDs and TiO2 allows for efficient electron injection from the photoexcited QDs into the conduction band of TiO2. An unprecedented peak is seen in the transient absorption spectrum, which may be used to track the spectral response of the QD/TiO2 composites. Dynamic measurements in the visible and mid-IR are used to evaluate the time scale of the electron injection process. The TA dynamics for these systems are found to be multiexponential. A comparison of the TA dynamics for CdS/TiO2 and CdS/ZrO2 composites in the visible and mid-IR region indicates that electron transfer occurs on the time scale of ~10-50 ps.

The optical excitation source is an evanescent wave created through total internal reflection of a continuous wave laser beam at the sample-air interface. For optical excitation of isolated Ag and Au MNPs, experimental results show that the scattered light propagates into the far field at an angle of 19° from the substrate. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations are used to study simpler but related metallic nanowire systems under evanescent wave excitation. The FDTD results are found to be similar to the experimental results, indicating the generality of the scattering phenomenon. NSOM characterization of plasmonic arrays that consist of closely spaced Ag MNPs are subsequently reported. Confined optical signals within the array are observed along with a reduction in the far-field scattered signal. Simultaneous collection of the atomic force microscopy signal and near-field signals also shows that the spatial distribution of the near-field is strongly modified in the arrays compared to isolated MNPs. FDTD studies on arrays of nanowires also show large differences from the isolated metal nanoparticle calculations, including a decrease in the forward scattered angle (with chain length) and diminished overall forward scattering.

Photosystem I (PSI) reaction centers, one of the molecular photovoltaic structures of green plants, convert light energy into electrical energy. We report the orientation and measurement of light-induced photovoltages at the air-water interface by PSI solutions entrained in the pores of microchannel glass. The data indicate that illuminated PSI reaction centers reversed the sign of the water surface electrostatic potential from negative to positive and that additional illumination further increased the positive value of the potential. The sign of the light-induced photopotentials indicates that the reaction centers are oriented with their electron-transport vectors pointing toward the water phase. Electrostatic potentials as a function of PSI concentration are presented for concentrations of active PSI up to 1 μM. Orienting biomolecules at the air-water interface might be an enabling technology for new classes of sensors.

The spectra of all three materials as well their variations with temperature are almost identical, which indicates that the M4+ for Nb5+ disordered substitution has little effect on the structure of the niobate framework. The annealing above 250 °C results in dehydration reflected in the Raman spectra by disappearance of water-related bands at ~1700 cm-1 and 3100-3400 cm-1 and irreversible changes of some Raman line parameters. As a whole, however, the spectral changes in the frequency range, corresponding to internal oxygen vibrations, are rather modest in contrast to the drastic changes of the X-ray diffraction patterns. This shows that although the SOMS structure rearranges in the dehydrated phase, the basic constituting elements, NbO6 octahedra and Na-centered polyhedra, remain practically unchanged. At further annealing above ~500 °C the Raman spectrum transforms irreversibly into a spectral structure consisting of three broad bands centered (at 24 °C) at 232, 600, and 876 cm-1, while the X-ray pattern indicates transformation to a perovskite-like structure We argue that the Raman spectrum in this case reflects the density of vibrational states of a strongly disordered oxygen sublattice.

The siliceous mesoporous material is proven to be commensurate with the face-centered-cubic Fm3m symmetry in high purity by a combination of experimental and simulated powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. The cage-type calcined samples were additionally characterized by nitrogen physisorption. The aqueous synthesis method to prepare large cage mesoporous silica with cubic Fm3m structure is based on the use of EO106PO70EO106 triblock copolymer (F127) at low HCl concentrations, with no additional salts or organic additives. Here, emphasis is put on the low HCl concentration regime, allowing the facile thermodynamic control of the silica-triblock copolymer mesophase self-assembly. Further, simple application of hydrothermal treatments at various temperatures ranging from 45 to 150 °C enables the tailoring of the mesopore diameters and apertures. The combination of experimental and simulated XRD patterns and TEM images is confirmed to be a very powerful means for the accurate elucidation of the structure of new mesoporous materials.

Al/alumina applications include ceramic-metal composites and several applications for electronic industries. In this paper the interface strength and microstructure of Al/α-alumina was investigated. We discovered that, in a solid-state joining, the strength of the joint increases with increasing joining temperature, whereas, in a liquid-state joining, the strength of the joint gradually decreases with increasing temperature due to the formation of unbonded areas. The strength, σb, is expressed by the following equation as a function of unbonded area, A: σb=2.69 A+116 (70%⩽A⩽100%). The highest strength reached 400 MPa when the interface was formed around the melting temperature of aluminum. An aluminum layer close to the interface became a single crystal when it was bonded to a sapphire. The following crystallographic orientation relationship was established:1¯11Al//001α-Al2O3,<110>Al//<100>α-Al2O3Amorphous alumina islands were formed at the interface. In the amorphous alumina, γ-alumina nanocrystals grew from the sapphire, with the same orientation relationship to sapphire as above.

Alloys of Ag with different amounts of Hf or Zr were reacted in a controlled atmosphere furnace with sapphire, alumina of 99.6 and 96% purity, and fused silica. We determined contact angles during heating and examined cross sections after cooling using electron analytical techniques. Different interfacial microstructures were obtained when the active metal was varied in an otherwise constant system. The Hf-containing alloys reacted with polycrystalline Al2O3 and had a dispersion of Hf-containing particles near the interface. If there were a reaction layer with the Al2O3 it was below the resolution of the analysis. By contrast, Zr reaction products were more evident and appeared to have diffused away from the interface into the alloy. The microstructural observations are interpreted using available thermodynamic data and known phase relations.

A mineralization technique was developed that exposes carboxylate groups on the surface of crosslinked pHEMA, promoting high-affinity nucleation and growth of calcium phosphate on the surface along with extensive calcification of the hydrogel interior. External factors such as the heating rate, the agitation of the mineral stock solution and the duration of the process that affect the outcome of the mineralization were investigated. This template-driven mineralization technique provides an efficient approach toward bonelike composites with high mineral–hydrogel interfacial adhesion strength.

A new family of glasses in the SiO2–Na2O–K2O–CaO–MgO–P2O5 system has been synthesized and characterized. The glass properties (thermal expansion, softening and transformation temperatures, density and hardness) are in line with the predictions of established empirical models. The optimized firing conditions to fabricate coatings on Ti-based and Co–Cr alloys have been determined and related to the glass properties and the interfacial reactions. Excellent adhesion to alloys has been achieved through the formation of 100–200 nm thick interfacial layers (Ti5Si3 on Ti-based alloys and CrOx on Co–Cr). Finally, glass coatings, approximately 100 μm thick, have been fabricated onto commercial Ti alloy-based dental implants.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2003/12/26/ VL - 278 IS - 52 M3 - Article SP - 52537 EP - 52545 SN - 00219258 AB - We attached peptides corresponding to the seventh transmembrane domain (TMD7) of the α-mating factor receptor (Ste2p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a hydrophilic, 40-residue fragment of the carboxyl terminus of this G protein-coupled receptor. Peptides corresponding to (a) the 40-residue portion of the carboxyl tail (T-40), (b) the tail plus a part of TMD7 (M7-12-T40), and (c) to the tail plus the full TMD7 (M7-24-T40) were chemically synthesized and purified. The molecular mass and primary sequence of these peptides were confirmed by mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry procedures. Circular dichroism (CD) revealed that T-40 was disordered in phosphate buffer and in the presence of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3- [phospho-racemic-(1-glycerol)] bilayers. In contrast, M7-12-T40 and M7-24-T40 peptides were partially helical in the presence of vesicles, and difference CD spectroscopy showed that the transmembrane regions of these peptides were 42 and 94% helical, respectively. CD analysis also demonstrated that M7-24T40 retained its secondary structure in the presence of 1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-racemic(1-glycerol)] micelles at 0.5 mM concentration. Thus, the tail and the transmembrane domain of the multidomain 64-amino acid residue peptide manifest individual conformational preferences. Measurement of tryptophan fluorescence indicated that the transmembrane domain integrated into bilayers in a manner similar to that expected for this region in the native state of the receptor. This study demonstrated that the tail of Ste2p can be used as a hydrophilic template to study transmembrane domain structure using techniques such as CD and NMR spectroscopy.

The color variation is attributed to either emission from different zones in devices with a thin doped layer, or saturation of emission sites due to relatively light doping. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Cross-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows a transferred crystalline InP layer with no observable defects in the region near the bonded interface and an intimately bonded interface. InP and Si are covalently bonded as inferred by the fact that InP/Si pairs survived both TEM preparation and thermal cycles up to 620 °C necessary for metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth. The InP transferred layers were used as epitaxial templates for the growth of InP/In[sub 0.53]Ga[sub 0.47]As/InP double heterostructures. Photoluminescence measurements of the In[sub 0.53]Ga[sub 0.47]As layer show that it is optically active and under tensile strain, due to differences in the thermal expansion between InP and Si. These are promising results in terms of a future integration of Si electronics with optical devices based on InP-lattice-matched materials. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The excitons are known to be localized in this alloy system. This localization is simulated by assuming that the hole is completely immobilized, i.e., its mass is infinite. Using this model we have calculated the variation of the diamagnetic shift with magnetic field in this quantum well structure following a variational approach. We find that the observed variation of the diamagnetic shift with magnetic field agrees quite well with that calculated when the mass of the conduction electron in the well is assumed to be 0.09 m[sub 0], about 50% larger than in GaAs[sub 0.7]Sb[sub 0.3], an increase similar to that found in GaAsN for the same nitrogen composition. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

High-quality, (110)-oriented single-crystal Sn-doped ZnO substrates were implanted at ∼350 °C with Co to yield transition metal concentrations of 3–5 at. % in the near-surface (∼2000 Å) region. After implantation, the samples were subject to a 5 min rapid thermal annealing at 700 °C. Magnetization measurements indicate ferromagnetic behavior, with hysteresis observed in the M vs H behavior at T=5 K. Coercive fields were ≤100 Oe at this measurement temperature. Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements showed evidence for ordering temperatures of >300 K, although hysteresis in the M vs H behavior was not observed at room temperature. Four-circle x-ray diffraction results indicate the presence of (110)-oriented hexagonal phase Co in the ZnO matrix. From the 2θ full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the Co (110) peak, the nanocrystal size is estimated to be ∼3.5 nm, which is below the superparamagnetic limit at room temperature. In-plane x-ray diffraction results show that the nanocrystals are epitaxial with respect to the ZnO host matrix. The magnetic properties are consistent with the presence of Co nanocrystals, but do not preclude the possibility that a component of the magnetism is due to Co substitution on the Zn site in the ZnO matrix. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

(Ba,Sr)TiO[sub 3] (BST) thin films were deposited on LaAlO[sub 3] having amorphous SiO[sub x] masking layers with stripe patterns at 450 °C by pulsed-laser deposition. Postannealing was carried out thereafter for lateral epitaxial growth. The difference in BST nucleation temperatures from the amorphous masking regions and lattice-matched single-crystalline substrates enables selective nucleation. Heteroepitaxial growth takes place in the regions of single-crystalline substrates, whereas lateral homoepitaxial growth evolves from the crystallized BST towards the SiO[sub x] masked region during postannealing process. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Here we consider a much more extensive range of dopant ions than has previously been the case. This enables a rigorous comparison of calculated mechanism energetics. From this we predict that divalent ions are charge compensated by oxygen vacancies and tetravalent ions by cation vacancies over the full range of dopant radii. When defect associations are included in the model these conclusions remain valid. At equilibrium, defects resulting from extrinsic dopant solution dominate intrinsic processes, except for the largest dopant cations. Solution reaction energies increase markedly with increasing dopant radius. The behaviour of cluster binding energies is more complex.

We apply the model to nuclear matter as well as to finite nuclei. In the latter case, the model is adjusted to nuclear ground-state observables. We treat the case of a pure chiral theory and the physically more realistic case where a portion of the nucleon mass (160 MeV) explicitly breaks chiral symmetry. The best version of this current model is found to deliver reasonably good results simultaneously for both finite nuclei and the nucleon mass, which supports our motivation of probing a link between low-momentum QCD and the nuclear many-body problem. However, the observables calculated for finite nuclei are not as good as those coming from existing relativistic mean field models without explicit chiral symmetry.

These multi-photon exchange processes are studied using perturbation theory and the sudden or Glauber approximation. In many important cases, the multi-photon amplitudes factorize into independent single-photon amplitudes. These amplitudes have a common impact parameter vector, which induces correlations between the amplitudes. Impact-parameter dependent equivalent-photon spectra for simultaneous excitation are calculated, as well as, impact-parameter dependent γγ-luminosities. Excitations, like the multi-phonon giant dipole resonances, vector meson production and multiple e+e−-pair production can be treated analytically in a bosonic model, analogous to the emission of soft photons in QED.

The building, with two floors and a total floor area of 4600 m2, is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Ventilation rates were manipulated with the building''s four air handling units (AHUs). VOC and CO2 concentrations in the AHU returns were measured on 7 days during a 13-week period. VOC emission factors were determined for individual zones on days when they were operating at near steady-state conditions. The emission factor data were subjected to principal component (PC) analysis to identify groups of co-varying compounds. Potential sources of the PC vectors were ascribed based on information from the literature. The per occupant CO2 generation rates were 0.0068–0.0092 l s−1. The per occupant isoprene generation rates of 0.2–0.3 mg h−1 were consistent with the value predicted by mass balance from breath concentration and exhalation rate. The relationships between indoor minus outdoor VOC concentrations and ventilation rate were qualitatively examined for eight VOCs. Of these, acetaldehyde and hexanal, which likely were associated with material sources, and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, associated with personal care products, exhibited general trends of higher concentrations at lower ventilation rates. For other compounds, a clear inverse relationship between VOC concentrations and ventilation was not observed. The net concentration of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate isomers, examples of low-volatility compounds, changed very little with ventilation likely due to sorption and re-emission effects. These results illustrate that the efficacy of ventilation for controlling VOC concentrations can vary considerably depending upon the operation of the building, the pollutant sources and the physical and chemical processes affecting the pollutants. Thus, source control measures, in addition to adequate ventilation, are required to limit concentrations of VOCs in office buildings.

Exposure-relevant emission factors and indirect exposures from habitual smoking JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2003/12/30/ VL - 37 IS - 39/40 M3 - Article SP - 5551 SN - 13522310 AB - Sorption of emitted gas-phase organic compounds onto material surfaces affects environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) composition and exposures indoors. We have introduced a new metric, the exposure relevant emission factor (EREF) that accounts for sorptive uptake and reemission to give the mass of individual ETS constituents available for exposure over a day in which smoking occurs. This paper describes month-long experiments to investigate sorption effects on EREFs and potential ETS exposures under habitual smoking conditions. Cigarettes were smoked in a 50-m3 furnished room over a 3-h period 6–7 days per week, with continuous ventilation at 0.3, 0.6, or 2.1 h−1. Organic gas concentrations were measured every few days over 4-h “smoking”, 10-h “post-smoking” and 10-h “background” periods. Concentration patterns of volatile ETS components including 1,3-butadiene, benzene and acrolein were similar to those calculated for a theoretical non-sorbing tracer, indicating limited sorption. Concentrations of ETS tracers, e.g. 3-ethenylpyridine (3-EP) and nicotine, and lower volatility toxic air contaminants including phenol, cresols, and naphthalene increased as experiments progressed, indicating mass accumulation on surfaces and higher desorption rates. Daily patterns stabilized after week 2, yielding a steady daily cycle of ETS concentrations associated with habitual smoking. EREFs for sorbing compounds were higher under steady cycle versus single-day smoking conditions by ∼50% for 3-EP, and by 2–3 times for nicotine, phenol, cresols, naphthalene, and methylnaphthalenes. Our results provide relevant information about potential indirect exposures from residual ETS (non-smoker enters room shortly after smoker finishes) and from reemission, and their importance relative to direct exposures (non-smoker present during smoking). Under the conditions examined, indirect exposures accounted for a larger fraction of total potential exposures for sorbing versus non-sorbing compounds, and at lower versus higher ventilation rates. Increasing ventilation can reduce indirect exposures to very low levels for non-sorbing ETS components, but indirect routes accounted for ∼50% of potential nicotine exposures during non-smoking periods at all ventilation rates.

The study aims to determine: (1) the adequacy of the standard Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes two-equation (k−ϵ) turbulence model for predicting the mixing time under these conditions and (2) the extent to which the mixing time depends on the room airflow, rather than the source location within the room. The CFD simulations modeled the 12 mixing time experiments performed by Drescher et al. (Indoor Air 5 (1995) 204) using a point pulse release in an isothermal, sealed room mechanically mixed with variable power blowers. Predictions of mixing time were found in good agreement with experimental measurements, over an order of magnitude variation in blower power. Additional CFD simulations were performed to investigate the relation between pollutant mixing time and source location. Seventeen source locations and five blower configurations were investigated. Results clearly show large dependence of the mixing time on the room airflow, with some dependence on source location. We further explore dependence of mixing time on the velocity and turbulence intensity at the source location. Implications for positioning air-toxic sensors in rooms are briefly discussed.

For all duct runs, losses were negligible for submicron particles and nearly complete for particles larger than 50 μm. The 50th percentile cut-point diameters were 15 μm in supply runs and 25 μm in return runs. Losses in supply duct runs were higher than in return duct runs, mostly because internal insulation was present in portions of supply duct runs, but absent from return duct runs. Single-pass equations for particle loss in duct runs were combined with models for predicting ventilation system filtration efficiency and particle deposition to indoor surfaces to evaluate the fates of particles of indoor and outdoor origin in an archetypal mechanically ventilated building. Results suggest that duct losses are a minor influence for determining indoor concentrations for most particle sizes. Losses in ducts were of a comparable magnitude to indoor surface losses for most particle sizes. For outdoor air drawn into an unfiltered ventilation system, most particles smaller than 1 μm are exhausted from the building. Large particles deposit within the building, mostly in supply ducts or on indoor surfaces. When filters are present, most particles are either filtered or exhausted. The fates of particles generated indoors follow similar trends as outdoor particles drawn into the building.

We conducted a field study in an unoccupied, single-story residence in Clovis, California to provide data and analyses to address issues important for assessing exposure. We used real-time particle monitors both outdoors and indoors to quantify nitrate, sulfate, and carbon particulate matter of particle size 2.5 μm or less in diameter (PM-2.5). The results show that measured indoor ammonium nitrate concentrations were significantly lower than would be expected based solely on penetration and deposition losses. The additional reduction can be attributed to the transformation indoors of ammonium nitrate into ammonia and nitric acid gases, which are subsequently lost by deposition and sorption to indoor surfaces. A mass balance model that accounts for the kinetics of ammonium nitrate evaporation was able to reproduce measured indoor ammonium nitrate and nitric acid concentrations, resulting in a fitted value of the deposition velocity for nitric acid of 0.56 cm s−1. The results indicate that indoor exposure to outdoor ammonium nitrate in Central Valley of California are small, and suggest that exposure assessments based on total particle mass measured outdoors may obscure the actual causal relationships for indoor exposure to particles of outdoor origin.

AgNt84-6, a protein that has the ability to bind multiple atoms of Ni2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ was attached to the gold-coated side of silicon nitride cantilevers via linker groups. Upon exposure to 0.1 mM HgCl2 and 0.1 mM ZnCl2 solutions, the microcantilevers underwent bending corresponding to an expanding gold side. Exposure to a 0.1 mM solution of MnCl2 solution did not result in a similar bending indicating a weak or no interaction of Mn2+ ions with the AgNt84-6 protein. The microcantilever bending data were consistent with data from electrophoresis carried out on SDS-PAGE gels containing metal ions that showed protein interaction with Zn2+ ions but not with Mn2+ ions. Thus, we demonstrate that microcantilever bending can be used to discriminate between metal ions that bind and do not bind to AgNt84-6 protein in real time.

The model includes the effects of both shadowing and the reflected component of surface emission. By using Stokes vectors to quantify the radiation along a given ray path, we compute the effects of polarization as well. We separate the direct emission from surface reflections to show how each affects the nature of the emitted field. The reflected component is an important part of the radiative transfer and affects nearly 10% of the ray paths at emission angles between 60° and 80° at wind speeds ≳5 m/s, increasing the effective emissivity by as much as 0.03. The modeled emissivities agree nicely with recent sea surface emissivity measurements. We also compare the Monte Carlo results to a recently published analytic model and show that the two vary somewhat due to differences in the amount of the reflected component included in the calculations. Surface roughness has a large effect on the polarization between 60° and 90° but less so at smaller angles. Including the reflected component has a small but noticeable effect which actually enhances the degree of polarization at intermediate angles.

The rate of transfer from plasma into a tissue is determined by the blood perfusion rate and the tissue-specific extraction fraction of Cs during passage from arterial to venous plasma. Information on tissue-specific extraction of Cs is supplemented with information on the Cs analogues, K and Rb, and known patterns of discrimination between these metals by tissues. The rate of return from a tissue to plasma is estimated from the relative contents of Cs in plasma and the tissue at equilibrium as estimated from environmental studies. Transfers of Cs other than exchange between plasma and tissues (e.g. secretions into the gastrointestinal tract) are based on a combination of physiological considerations and empirical data on Cs or related elements. Model predictions are consistent with the sizable database on the time-dependent distribution and retention of radiocesium in the human body.

Bis-silyl functional silanes studied here have six hydrolyzable groups and are believed to be more crosslinked than tri- and tetra-functional analogs. The enhanced crosslinking leads to better barrier properties in anti-corrosion applications. In this study, solvent swelling is used to assess the degree of condensation and the crosslink density in bis-[trimethoxysilylpropyl]amine (bis-amino) films. Nitrobenzene swells the films but does not react chemically with the films. The results show that bis-amino silane films are highly condensed, with a nitrobenzene-depleted layer near the silicon substrate. D[sub 2]O both swells (at 25°C and 80°C) and chemically alters the films (at 80°C). The reflectivity data upon exposure to D[sub 2]O vapors at 80°C are consistent with exchange of the amino proton ([sup 1]H) with deuterium (D). A hydrophilic layer is postulated at both the air and substrate interfaces.

The article discusses the size dependence of the band gaps in cadmiumselenide quantum wires and compares it to the corresponding size dependences in cadmiumselenide quantum dots and rods. It shows that the experimentally measured quantum wire band gaps are consistent with theoretical predictions, confirming that geometric dimensionality influences quantum confinement as expected. Our results quantify true 2-dimensional quantum confinement in the well-studied cadmiumselenide system.

This phenomenon occurs through the formation of a donor-nitrogen bond in the nearest neighbor IVGa–NAs pairs. In Si-doped GaInN0.017As0.983 the electron concentration starts to decrease rapidly at an annealing temperature of 700°C from ∼3×1019 cm−3 in the as-grown state to less than 1016 cm−3 after an annealing at 900°C for 10 s. At the same time, annealing of this sample at 950°C increases the gap by about 35 meV, corresponding to a reduction of the concentration of the active N atoms by an amount very close to the total Si concentration. We also show that the formation of SiGa–NAs pairs is controlled by the diffusion of Si via Ga vacancies to the nearest NAs site. The general nature of this mutual passivation effect is confirmed by our study of Ge-doped GaNxAs1−x layers formed by N and Ge co-implantation in GaAs followed by pulsed laser melting.

We attribute the majority of these peaks to excitons bound to yet unidentified structural defects. A preliminary transmission electron microscopy study in one of the samples exhibiting strong Yi lines revealed numerous inclusions, presumably inversion domains, which may be responsible for at least some of the Yi lines.

Ion-channeling experiments reveal that these films are single crystalline and have high Mn substitutionality while variable temperature resistivity measurements reveal the strong Mn-hole interactions characteristic of carrier-mediated ferromagnetism in homogeneous Diluted magnetic semiconductors. We have observed Curie temperatures (TCs) of approximately 80 K for films with substitutional Mn concentrations of x=0.04. The use of n-type counter doping as a means of increasing Mn substitutionality and TC is explored by co-implantation of Mn and Te into GaAs. In Ga1−xMnxP samples synthesized using our technique, the implanted layer regrows as an epitaxial single crystal capped by a highly defective surface layer. These samples display ferromagnetism with TC≈23 K.

This near degeneracy suggests the possibility that both core reconstructions may be present simultaneously along the same dislocation core, with the domain sizes of the competing reconstructions dependent on temperature and the local stress state. To explore this dependence, a simple statistical mechanics-based model of the dislocation core reconstructions is developed and analyzed. Predictions for the temperature-dependent structure of the dislocation core are presented.

The concentration of interstitial iron and iron-boron pairs was measured by deep-level transient spectroscopy. It was found that the re-dissolved iron concentration can be fitted by an exponential dependence, and the dissolution rate τ−1 had an Arrhenius-type dependence on temperature. The activation energy of the dissolution time constant was found to be 1.47 eV. Considering the activation energy of 0.67 eV for iron diffusion in silicon, our result implies an effective binding energy of 0.80 eV between gettered iron impurities and oxide precipitates. The re-dissolved iron concentration during different heat treatments was simulated with our gettering simulator taking into account this effective binding energy.

When this technique is combined with the X-ray beam-induced current (XBIC) technique, one can acquire, in situ, complementary information about the elemental nature of transition metal precipitates and their recombination activity. Additionally, X-ray absorption microspectroscopy (μ-XAS) analyses yield information about the local environment of the impurity atoms and their chemical state. Model defect structures and photovoltaic-grade multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) were studied using these techniques, and the effect of transition metal clusters on the electrical properties of good and bad regions of mc-Si are discussed in detail.

In order to investigate the role of hydrogen bonding, hydration and chain dynamics in this thermostability, wavelength-resolved Laue neutron diffraction data have been collected from the W3Y single mutant (Trp3→Tyr3) on the spallation neutron protein crystallography station (PCS) at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Data were measured at room temperature from nine crystal settings, each of approximately 12 h duration. The total data-measurement period was less than 5 d from a single crystal that had undergone H[sub2]/D[sub2]O exchange. The nominal resolution of the data is 2.1 Å.

We start by showing how to connect different (spin-particle-gauge) languages by means of exact mappings (isomorphisms) that we name dictionaries and prove a fundamental theorem establishing when two arbitrary languages can be connected. These mappings serve to unravel symmetries which are hidden in one representation but become manifest in another. In addition, we establish a formal link between seemingly unrelated physical phenomena by changing the language of our model description. This link leads to the idea of universality or equivalence. Moreover, we introduce the novel concept of emergent symmetry as another symmetry guiding principle. By introducing the notion of hierarchical languages , we determine the quantum phase diagram of lattice models (previously unsolved) and unveil hidden order parameters to explore new states of matter. Hierarchical languages also constitute an essential tool to provide a unified description of phases which compete and coexist. Overall, our framework provides a simple and systematic methodology to predict and discover new kinds of orders. Another aspect exploited by the present formalism is the relation between condensed matter and lattice gauge theories through quantum link models. We conclude by discussing applications of these dictionaries to the area of quantum information and computation with emphasis in building new models of computation and quantum programming languages.

The approach is first validated for a two-dimensional layered flow. The velocity profiles and the relative permeability coefficients are compared with the analytic results. We then apply this method to studying fingering in a two-dimensional channel where one fluid is displaced by another. The effects of viscosity ratio, capillary number, and wettability are investigated. The simulation results show that with the increase of the viscosity ratio or capillary number, both the finger width and the slip distance of the contact lines decrease, while the finger length increases. With the decrease of the wettability of the displacing fluid, the finger length and its change rate with time increase while the slip distance of the contact lines and its change rate with time decrease, and the minimum capillary number to form a stable finger decreases. Hence the finger growth is enhanced when the displacing fluid is nonwetting to the wall and otherwise suppressed. An indented part near the beginning of the fingers is clearly observed when a wetting fluid is displacing a nonwetting one. The finger width, however remains nearly unchanged when the wettability of the fluids changes.

The geographic extent and likely path of its possible invasion of North American forests, however, are unknown. Herein, we develop and test ecological niche models for the species based on features of climate from the species' native distribution in eastern Asia, and then project them onto North America to identify areas of potential distribution. These models suggest that the species has the potential to invade much of eastern North America, but only limited areas in western North America, and that a focus of initiation of invasions is likely to lie in the area south of the Great Lakes. This result is particularly clear under modeled scenarios of spread and contagion.

JO - American Mineralogist JF - American Mineralogist Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 89 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 197 EP - 203 SN - 0003004X AB - We have determined the room-temperature compressibility of pure, synthetic zircon (ZrSiO[sub4]). Unit-cell volumes of a powdered sample were determined in situ as a function of pressure up to 27 GPa in a diamond anvil cell (DAC), by using angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Unit-cell volumes were fitted to a Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, resulting in a room-temperature bulk modulus for the zircon structure, K[subTO] = 199 ± 1 GPa, and ambient pressure unit-cell volume V[sub0] = 260.89 ± 0.03 ų, when (∂K[subT0]/∂P)[subT] = K'[subT0] is fixed at 4. This bulk modulus is over 12% lower than that suggested by earlier measurements using impure, natural zircon sample. In addition, we observed the start of the transformation of zircon to reidite (scheelite-structured ZrSiO[sub4]) at a pressure of 19.7 GPa, over 3 GPa lower than previously determined for natural (impure) zircon. Together with compressibility measurements of a trace-element-doped zircon, these observations suggest that impurities affect the phase transition kinetics and compressibility of zircon, and by analogy, perhaps of other silicate minerals.

Protein identifications from 0.5 pg of whole proteome extracts were enabled by ultrahigh sensitivity (<75 zmol for individual proteins) achieved using high-efficiency (peak capacities of ∼10[SUP3]) 15-μm-i.d. capillary liquid chromatography separations (i.e., using nanoLC, ∼20 nL/min mobile-phase flow rate at the optimal linear velocity of `∼0.2 cm/s) coupled on-line with a micro-solid-phase sample extraction and a nanoscale electrospray ionization interface to a 11.4-T Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer (MS). Proteome measurement coverage improved as sample size was increased from as lithe as 0.5 pg of sample. It was found that a 2.5-ng sample provided 14% coverage of all annotated open reading frames for the microorganism Deinococcus radiodurans, consistent with previous results for a specific culture condition. The estimated detection dynamic range for detected proteins was 10[SUP5]- 10[SUP6]. An improved accurate mass and LC elution time two-dimensional data analysis methodology, used to both speed and increase the confidence of peptide/protein identifications, enabled identification of 872 proteins/run from a single 3-h nanoLC/ FTICR MS analysis. The low-zeptomole-level sensitivity provides a basis for extending proteomics studies to smaller cell populations and potentially to a single mammalian cell. Application with ion trap MS/MS instrumentation allowed protein identification from 50 pg (total mass) of proteomic samples (i.e., ∼100 times larger than FTICR MS), corresponding to a sensitivity of ∼7 amol for individual proteins. Compared with single-stage FTICR measurements, ion trap MS/MS provided a much lower proteome measurement coverage and dynamic range for a given analysis time and sample quantity.

The chiral phase used is made of cellulose tribenzoate coated on porous silica. The AEDs were determined using the expectation maximization method, a numerical method that uses directly the raw experimental isotherm data, inverts this set of data into an AED, and introduces no arbitrary information in the calculation. However, it uses the Langmuir equation as the local isotherm. The experimental data fit very well to the bi-Langmuir isotherm model for the more retained enantiomer. Our results show that the AEDs of these two enantiomers have no energy modes that would be identical (same mean energy, mode profile, and mode area), in contrast to numerous cases previously studied, e.g., that of the β-blockers on a Ce17A column. This indicates a significantly different retention mechanism.

T1 - Periplasmic Cytochrome c[sub 3] of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Is Directly Involved in H[sub 2]-Mediated Metal but Not Sulfate Reduction. JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 70 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 413 EP - 420 SN - 00992240 AB - Fe(III), and U(VI) reduction were investigated in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. While sulfate reduction followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics (K[sub m] = 220 µM), loss of Fe(III) and U(VI) was first-order at all concentrations tested. Initial reduction rates of ali electron acceptors were similar for cells grown with H[sub 2] and sulfate, while cultures grown using lactate and sulfate had similar rates of metal loss but lower sulfate reduction activities. The similarities in metal, but not sulfate, reduction with H[sub 2] and lactate suggest divergent pathways. Respiration assays and reduced minus oxidized spectra were carried out to determine c-type cytochrome involvement in electron acceptor reduction, c-type cytochrome oxidation was immediate with Fe(III) and U(VI) in the presence of H[sub 2], lactate, or pyruvate. Sulfidogenesis occurred with all three electron donors and effectively oxidized the c-type cytochrome in lactateor pyruvate-reduced, but not H[sub 2]-reduced cells. Correspondingly, electron acceptor competition assays with lactate or pyruvate as electron donors showed that Fe(III) inhibited U(VI) reduction, and U(VI) inhibited sulfate loss. However, sulfate reduction was slowed but not halted when H[sub 2] was the electron donor in the presence of Fe(III) or U(VI). U(VI) loss was still impeded by Fe(III) when H[sub 2] was used. Hence, we propose a modified pathway for the reduction of sulfate, Fe(III), and U(VI) which helps explain why these bacteria cannot grow using these metals. We further propose that cytochrome c[sub 3] is an electron carrier involved in lactate and pyruvate oxidation and is the reductase for alternate electron acceptors with higher redox potentials than sulfate.

Pseudomonads constitute important members of the alpine soil community. In order to characterize the alpine Pseudomonas community and to assess the impact of shifting selection on this community, we examined the ability of cold-tolerant Pseudomonas isolates to grow on a variety of carbon sources, and we determined their phylogenetic relationships based on 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing. We found a high prevalence of Pseudomonas in our soil samples, and isolates from these soils exhibited extensive metabolic diversity. In addition, our data revealed that many of our isolates form a unique cold-adapted clade, representatives of which are also found in the Swedish tundra and Antarctica. Our data also show a lack of concordance between the metabolic properties and 16S phylogeny, indicating that the metabolic diversity of these organisms cannot be predicted by phylogeny.

A finite-difference analysis is used for dynamic modeling of a two-dimensional prototype of the vertical Bridgman system that takes into account heat transfer in the melt, crystal, and the ampoule, as well as the melt flow and solute transport. Actual temperature data from experimental measurements are used for accurately describing the thermal boundary conditions. A range of complex dynamical behavior is predicted in the melt flow due to flow transitions and this is found to be directly related to the spatial patterns observed experimentally in the solidified alloys. The model is applied to single phase solidification in the Al–Cu and Pb–Sn systems to characterize the effect of convection on the macroscopic shape of the interface. The application of the model to hyper-peritectic alloys in the Sn–Cd system shows that the presence of oscillating flow can give rise to a novel convection induced microstructure in which a tree-like primary phase in the center of the sample is embedded in the surrounding peritectic matrix.

In order to determine the overall effectiveness of cooling systems, both water and energy need to be considered; however data are needed to compare the amount of energy used at the site to the amount of water used at the power plant. A study of power plants and their water consumption was completed to effectively analyze evaporative cooling systems. In thermoelectric plants, 0.47 gallons (1.8 L) of fresh water is evaporated per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity consumed at the point of end-use. Hydroelectric plants evaporate an average of 18 gallons (68 L) of fresh water per kWh used by the consumer The national weighted average is 2.0 gallons (7.6 L) of evaporated water per kWh of electricity consumed at the end-use. From this information, different types of building cooling systems can be compared for relative water consumption.

This first paper in a three part series outlines the survey strategies and relevant instrumental parameters for such a mission. As a concrete example of hardware design, we consider the proposed Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP). Using SNAP engineering models, we quantify the major contributions to this telescope’s point spread function (PSF). These PSF contributions are relevant to any similar wide-field space telescope. We further show that the PSF of SNAP or a similar telescope will be smaller than current ground-based PSFs, and more isotropic and stable over time than the PSF of the Hubble Space Telescope. We outline survey strategies for two different regimes––a “wide” 300 square degree survey and a “deep” 15 square degree survey that will accomplish various weak lensing goals including statistical studies and dark matter mapping.

The method involves the formation of covalent crosslinks between reactive residues on the protein surface, the determination of the location of those crosslinks in primary sequence space by mass spectrometry, and then the imposition of a distance constraint upon the location of the respective side chains during distance geometry calculations of protein structure. MS3-D is rapid, requires small amounts of protein, and works in native biochemical conditions. Therefore, it offers the potential for determination of the structures of all proteins expressed by an organism in a high throughput manner. However, the methodology is completely dependent upon the production of chemical crosslinks and technical limitations of available crosslinkers have proven problematic in generalization and automation of the method for the determination of the structures of complete proteomes. Presented herein is the design, synthesis, and proofing of a novel modular protein crosslinking reagent designed to enhance hydrophilicity, provide an increased effective signal to noise ratio for MS3-D, and allow the sampling of a wider variety of side chains during the process.

In the proposed approach, the overall transport processes are conceptualized as three distinct reactions. Firstly, the dissolution (or dissolving) process of a residual DNAPL source zone is conceptualized as a mass-transfer limited reaction. Secondly, the contaminants dissolved from the DNAPL source are allowed to partition between sediment and water phases through a rate-limited sorption reaction. Finally, the contaminants in the solid and liquid phases are allowed to degrade by a set of kinetic-limited biological reactions. Although all of these three reaction processes have been researched in the past, little progress has been made towards understanding the combined effects of these processes. This work provides a rigorous mathematical model for describing the coupled effects of these three fundamental reactive transport mechanisms. The model equations are then solved using the general-purpose reactive transport code RT3D (Clement, 1997).

However, challenges in regard to karyotypic stability and the ploidy status of stem cell lines have been addressed only marginally. Our approach to develop technology to address these highly relevant issues is based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using nonisotopically labeled DNA probes. As a single cell analysis technique, FISH is expected to be applicable to a variety of cells and tissues including interphase and metaphase cell preparations as well as tissue sections and biopsy material. Over the last decade, our laboratories generated a large number of probes and probe sets for the molecular cytogenetic analyses of stem cells derived from different species. These probes and the introduction of spectral imaging bring us close to be able to perform a comprehensive karyotype analysis of single interphase cell nuclei. It should furthermore be possible to couple cytogenetic investigations of the cellular genotype with analysis of gene expression. This report summarizes our technical achievements relevant to stem cell research and outlines plans for future research and developments.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 6 EP - 17 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: Numerous tools have been developed to align genomic sequences. However, their relative performance in specific applications remains poorly characterized. Alignments of protein-coding sequences typically have been benchmarked against "correct" alignments inferred from structural data. For noncoding sequences, where such independent validation is lacking, simulation provides an effective means to generate "correct" alignments with which to benchmark alignment tools. Results: Using rates of noncoding sequence evolution estimated from the genus Drosophila, we simulated alignments over a range of divergence times under varying models incorporating point substitution, insertion/deletion events, and short blocks of constrained sequences such as those found in cis-regulatory regions. We then compared "correct" alignments generated by a modified version of the ROSE simulation platform to alignments of the simulated derived sequences produced by eight pairwise alignment tools (Avid, BlastZ, Chaos, ClustalW, DiAlign, Lagan, Needle, and WABA) to determine the off-the-shelf performance of each tool. As expected, the ability to align noncoding sequences accurately decreases with increasing divergence for all tools, and declines faster in the presence of insertion/deletion evolution. Global alignment tools (Avid, ClustalW, Lagan, and Needle) typically have higher sensitivity over entire noncoding sequences as well as in constrained sequences. Local tools (BlastZ, Chaos, and WABA) have lower overall sensitivity as a consequence of incomplete coverage, but have high specificity to detect constrained sequences as well as high sensitivity within the subset of sequences they align. Tools such as DiAlign, which generate both local and global outputs, produce alignments of constrained sequences with both high sensitivity and specificity for divergence distances in the range of 1.25-3.0 substitutions per site. Conclusion: For species with genomic properties similar to Drosophila, we conclude that a single pair of optimally diverged species analyzed with a high performance alignment tool can yield accurate and specific alignments of functionally constrained noncoding sequences. Further algorithm development, optimization of alignment parameters, and benchmarking studies will be necessary to extract the maximal biological information from alignments of functional noncoding DNA.

Bioinformatics tools are needed to interpret the functional information in the gene sets. Results: We have created a web-based tool for data analysis and data visualization for sets of genes called GOTree Machine (GOTM). This tool was originally intended to analyze sets of co-regulated genes identified from microarray analysis but is adaptable for use with other gene sets from other high-throughput analyses. GOTree Machine generates a GOTree, a tree-like structure to navigate the Gene Ontology Directed Acyclic Graph for input gene sets. This system provides user friendly data navigation and visualization. Statistical analysis helps users to identify the most important Gene Ontology categories for the input gene sets and suggests biological areas that warrant further study. GOTree Machine is available online at http://genereg.ornl.gov/gotm/. Conclusion: GOTree Machine has a broad application in functional genomic, proteomic and other high-throughput methods that generate large sets of interesting genes; its primary purpose is to help users sort for interesting patterns in gene sets.

T1 - Identification of regions in multiple sequence alignments thermodynamically suitable for targeting by consensus oligonucleotides: application to HIV genome. JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 44 EP - 7 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: Computer programs for the generation of multiple sequence alignments such as "Clustal W" allow detection of regions that are most conserved among many sequence variants. However, even for regions that are equally conserved, their potential utility as hybridization targets varies. Mismatches in sequence variants are more disruptive in some duplexes than in others. Additionally, the propensity for self-interactions amongst oligonucleotides targeting conserved regions differs and the structure of target regions themselves can also influence hybridization efficiency. There is a need to develop software that will employ thermodynamic selection criteria for finding optimal hybridization targets in related sequences. Results: A new scheme and new software for optimal detection of oligonucleotide hybridization targets common to families of aligned sequences is suggested and applied to aligned sequence variants of the complete HIV-1 genome. The scheme employs sequential filtering procedures with experimentally determined thermodynamic cut off points: 1) creation of a consensus sequence of RNA or DNA from aligned sequence variants with specification of the lengths of fragments to be used as oligonucleotide targets in the analyses; 2) selection of DNA oligonucleotides that have pairing potential, greater than a defined threshold, with all variants of aligned RNA sequences; 3) elimination of DNA oligonucleotides that have self-pairing potentials for intra- and inter-molecular interactions greater than defined thresholds. This scheme has been applied to the HIV-1 genome with experimentally determined thermodynamic cut off points. Theoretically optimal RNA target regions for consensus oligonucleotides were found. They can be further used for improvement of oligo-probe based HIV detection techniques. Conclusions: A selection scheme with thermodynamic thresholds and software is presented in this study. The package can be used for any purpose where there is a need to design optimal consensus oligonucleotides capable of interacting efficiently with hybridization targets common to families of aligned RNA or DNA sequences. Our thermodynamic approach can be helpful in designing consensus oligonucleotides with consistently high affinity to target variants in evolutionary related genes or genomes.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 108 EP - 12 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: Recent technological advances in high-throughput data collection allow for experimental study of increasingly complex systems on the scale of the whole cellular genome and proteome. Gene network models are needed to interpret the resulting large and complex data sets. Rationally designed perturbations (e.g., gene knock-outs) can be used to iteratively refine hypothetical models, suggesting an approach for high-throughput biological system analysis. We introduce an approach to gene network modeling based on a scalable linear variant of fuzzy logic: a framework with greater resolution than Boolean logic models, but which, while still semi-quantitative, does not require the precise parameter measurement needed for chemical kinetics-based modeling. Results: We demonstrated our approach with exhaustive search for fuzzy gene interaction models that best fit transcription measurements by microarray of twelve selected genes regulating the yeast cell cycle. Applying an efficient, universally applicable data normalization and fuzzification scheme, the search converged to a small number of models that individually predict experimental data within an error tolerance. Because only gene transcription levels are used to develop the models, they include both direct and indirect regulation of genes. Conclusion: Biological relationships in the best-fitting fuzzy gene network models successfully recover direct and indirect interactions predicted from previous knowledge to result in transcriptional correlation. Fuzzy models fit on one yeast cell cycle data set robustly predict another experimental data set for the same system. Linear fuzzy gene networks and exhaustive rule search are the first steps towards a framework for an integrated modeling and experiment approach to high-throughput "reverse engineering" of complex biological systems.

JO - BMC Biology JF - BMC Biology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 30 PB - BioMed Central SN - 17417007 AB - Background: The growing conviction that lateral gene transfer plays a significant role in prokaryote genealogy opens up a need for comprehensive evaluations of gene-enzyme systems on a case-by-case basis. Genes of tryptophan biosynthesis are frequently organized as whole-pathway operons, an attribute that is expected to facilitate multi-gene transfer in a single step. We have asked whether events of lateral gene transfer are sufficient to have obscured our ability to track the vertical genealogy that underpins tryptophan biosynthesis. Results: In 47 complete-genome Bacteria, the genes encoding the seven catalytic domains that participate in primary tryptophan biosynthesis were distinguished from any paralogs or xenologs engaged in other specialized functions. A reliable list of orthologs with carefully ascertained functional roles has thus been assembled and should be valuable as an annotation resource. The protein domains associated with primary tryptophan biosynthesis were then concatenated, yielding single amino-acid sequence strings that represent the entire tryptophan pathway. Lateral gene transfer of several whole-pathway trp operons was demonstrated by use of phylogenetic analysis. Lateral gene transfer of partial-pathway trp operons was also shown, with newly recruited genes functioning either in primary biosynthesis (rarely) or specialized metabolism (more frequently). Conclusions: (i) Concatenated tryptophan protein trees are congruent with 16S rRNA subtrees provided that the genomes represented are of sufficiently close phylogenetic spacing. There are currently seven tryptophan congruency groups in the Bacteria. Recognition of a succession of others can be expected in the near future, but ultimately these should coalesce to a single grouping that parallels the 16S rRNA tree (except for cases of lateral gene transfer). (ii) The vertical trace of evolution for tryptophan biosynthesis can be deduced. The daunting complexities engendered by paralogy, xenology, and idiosyncrasies of nomenclature at this point in time have necessitated an expert-assisted manual effort to achieve a correct analysis. Once recognized and sorted out, paralogy and xenology can be viewed as features that enrich evolutionary histories.

JO - BMC Evolutionary Biology JF - BMC Evolutionary Biology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 9 EP - 12 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712148 AB - Background: Gene duplication followed by the functional divergence of the resulting pair of paralogous proteins is a major force shaping molecular networks in living organisms. Recent species-wide data for protein-protein interactions and transcriptional regulations allow us to assess the effect of gene duplication on robustness and plasticity of these molecular networks. Results: We demonstrate that the transcriptional regulation of duplicated genes in baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae diverges fast so that on average they lose 3% of common transcription factors for every 1% divergence of their amino acid sequences. The set of protein-protein interaction partners of their protein products changes at a slower rate exhibiting a broad plateau for amino acid sequence similarity above 70%. The stability of functional roles of duplicated genes at such relatively low sequence similarity is further corroborated by their ability to substitute for each other in single gene knockout experiments in yeast and RNAi experiments in a nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. We also quantified the divergence rate of physical interaction neighborhoods of paralogous proteins in a bacterium Helicobacter pylori and a fly Drosophila melanogaster. However, in the absence of system-wide data on transcription factors' binding in these organisms we could not compare this rate to that of transcriptional regulation of duplicated genes. Conclusions: For all molecular networks studied in this work we found that even the most distantly related paralogous proteins with amino acid sequence identities around 20% on average have more similar positions within a network than a randomly selected pair of proteins. For yeast we also found that the upstream regulation of genes evolves more rapidly than downstream functions of their protein products. This is in accordance with a view which puts regulatory changes as one of the main driving forces of the evolution. In this context a very important open question is to what extent our results obtained for homologous genes within a single species (paralogs) carries over to homologous proteins in different species (orthologs).

JO - BMC Evolutionary Biology JF - BMC Evolutionary Biology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 11 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712148 AB - Background: Codon usage bias has been widely reported to correlate with GC composition. However, the quantitative relationship between codon usage bias and GC composition across species has not been reported. Results: Based on an informatics method (SCUO) we developed previously using Shannon informational theory and maximum entropy theory, we investigated the quantitative relationship between codon usage bias and GC composition. The regression based on 70 bacterial and 16 archaeal genomes showed that in bacteria, SCUO = -2.06 * GC3 + 2.05*(GC3)2 + 0.65, r = 0.91, and that in archaea, SCUO = -1.79 * GC3 + 1.85*(GC3)² + 0.56, r = 0.89. We developed an analytical model to quantify synonymous codon usage bias by GC compositions based on SCUO. The parameters within this model were inferred by inspecting the relationship between codon usage bias and GC composition across 70 bacterial and 16 archaeal genomes. We further simplified this relationship using only GC3. This simple model was supported by computational simulation. Conclusions: The synonymous codon usage bias could be simply expressed as 1+ (p/2)log2(p/2) + ((1-p)/2)log2((l-p)/2), where p = GC3. The software we developed for measuring SCUO (codonO) is available at http://digbio.missouri.edu/~wanx/cu/codonO.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: Mitochondria contain small genomes that are physically separate from those of nuclei. Their comparison serves as a model system for understanding the processes of genome evolution. Although hundreds of these genome sequences have been reported, the taxonomic sampling is highly biased toward vertebrates and arthropods, with many whole phyla remaining unstudied. This is the first description of a complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a representative of the phylum Echiura, that of the fat innkeeper worm, Urechis caupo. Results: This mtDNA is 15,113 nts in length and 62% A+T. It contains the 37 genes that are typical for animal mtDNAs in an arrangement somewhat similar to that of annelid worms. All genes are encoded by the same DNA strand which is rich in A and C relative to the opposite strand. Codons ending with the dinucleotide GG are more frequent than would be expected from apparent mutational biases. The largest non-coding region is only 282 nts long, is 71% A+T, and has potential for secondary structures. Conclusions: Urechis caupo mtDNA shares many features with those of the few studied annelids, including the common usage of ATG start codons, unusual among animal mtDNAs, as well as gene arrangements, tRNA structures, and codon usage biases.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 56 EP - 11 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: Defensins comprise a large family of cationic antimicrobial peptides that are characterized by the presence of a conserved cysteine-rich defensin motif. Based on the spacing pattern of cysteines, these defensins are broadly divided into five groups, namely plant, invertebrate, α-, β-, and θ-defensins, with the last three groups being mostly found in mammalian species. However, the evolutionary relationships among these five groups of defensins remain controversial. Results: Following a comprehensive screen, here we report that the chicken genome encodes a total of 13 different β-defensins but with no other groups of defensins being discovered. These chicken β-defensin genes, designated as Gallinacin 1-13, are clustered densely within a 86-Kb distance on the chromosome 3q3.5-q3.7. The deduced peptides vary from 63 to 104 amino acid residues in length sharing the characteristic defensin motif. Based on the tissue expression pattern, 13 β-defensin genes can be divided into two subgroups with Gallinacin 1-7 being predominantly expressed in bone marrow and the respiratory tract and the remaining genes being restricted to liver and the urogenital tract. Comparative analysis of the defensin clusters among chicken, mouse, and human suggested that vertebrate defensins have evolved from a single β-defensin-like gene, which has undergone rapid duplication, diversification, and translocation in various vertebrate lineages during evolution. Conclusions: We conclude that the chicken genome encodes only β-defensin sequences and that all mammalian defensins are evolved from a common β-defensin-like ancestor. The α-defensins arose from θ-defensins by gene duplication, which may have occurred after the divergence of mammals from other vertebrates, and θ-defensins have arisen from α-defensins specific to the primate lineage. Further analysis of these defensins in different vertebrate lineages will shed light on the mechanisms of host defense and evolution of innate immunity.

JO - BMC Microbiology JF - BMC Microbiology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712180 AB - Background: Certain strains of an obligate parasite of the human upper respiratory tract, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), can cause invasive diseases such as septicemia and meningitis, as well as chronic mucosal infections such as otitis media. To do this, the organism must invade and survive within both epithelial and endothelial cells. We have identified a facilitator of NTHi survival inside human cells, virulence-associated protein D (vapDHi, encoded by gene HI0450). Both vapDHi and a flanking gene, HI0451, exhibit the genetic and physical characteristics of a toxin/antitoxin (TA) locus, with VapDHi serving as the toxin moiety and HI0451 as the antitoxin. We propose the name VapXHi for the HI0451 antitoxin protein. Originally identified on plasmids, TA loci have been found on the chromosomes of a number of bacterial pathogens, and have been implicated in the control of translation during stressful conditions. Translation arrest would enhance survival within human cells and facilitate persistent or chronic mucosal infections. Results: Isogenic mutants in vapDHi were attenuated for survival inside human respiratory epithelial cells (NCI-H292) and human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), the in vitro models of mucosal infection and the blood-brain barrier, respectively. Transcomplementation with a vapDHi allele restored wild-type NTHi survival within both cell lines. A PCR survey of 59 H. influenzae strains isolated from various anatomical sites determined the presence of a vapDHiallele in 100% of strains. Two isoforms of the gene were identified in this population; one that was 91 residues in length, and another that was truncated to 45 amino acids due to an in-frame deletion. The truncated allele failed to transcomplement the NTHi vapDHi survival defect in HBMEC. Subunits of full-length VapDHi homodimerized, but subunits of the truncated protein did not. However, truncated protein subunits did interact with full-length subunits, and this interaction resulted in a dominant-negative phenotype. Although Escherichia coli does not contain a homologue of either vapDHi or vapXHi, overexpression of the VapDHi toxin in trans resulted in E. coli cell growth arrest. This arrest could be rescued by providing the VapXHi antitoxin on a compatible plasmid. Conclusion: We conclude that vapDHi and vapXHi may constitute a H. influenzae TA locus that functions to enhance NTHi survival within human epithelial and endothelial cells.

JO - BMC Structural Biology JF - BMC Structural Biology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 4 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14726807 AB - Background: The yffB (PA3664) gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes an uncharacterized protein of 13 kDa molecular weight with a marginal sequence similarity to arsenate reductase from Escherichia coli. The crystal structure determination of YffB was undertaken as part of a structural genomics effort in order to assist with the functional assignment of the protein. Results: The structure was determined at 1.0 Å resolution by single-wavelength anomalous diffraction. The fold is very similar to that of arsenate reductase, which is an extension of the thioredoxin fold. Conclusion: Given the conservation of the functionally important residues and the ability to bind glutathione, YffB is likely to function as a GSH-dependent thiol reductase.

JO - Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences JF - Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 41 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 38 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00084077 AB - Soil analyses and terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating are combined and a conceptual model proposed to explain altitudinal weathering contrasts in high-latitude highlands. We show that summits in the Torngat and Kaumajet mountains were covered by ice during the Last Glacial Maximum, and that their felsenmeer cover probably survived multiple glaciation events. For similar lithologies, soils on felsenmeer covered summits are signigicantly more weathered than those below the felsenmeer limit, displaying higher concentrations of crystalline iron, amorphous aluminium, and silicium extracted with oxalate. Secondary minerals such as gibbsite and kaolinite occur in felsenmeer soils, whereas those formed in till lacked these secondary minerals. 10Be and 26Al exposure ages for nine of ten samples, from high-elevation tors and autochthonous felsenmeer blocks, range from 73 ± 6 to 157 ± 15 ka. By contrast, ages of 11.4 ± 1.0 and 11.7 ± 1.0 ka are measured for bedrock in the much lower Saglek zone, indicating extensive (>3 m) glacial erosion of this zone during Late Wisconsinan glaciation. 26Al/10Be ratios demonstrate that exposure of the high-elevation surfaces was interrupted during at least one cosmic ray shielding event by either ice or till cover. In either case, Late Wisconsinan glaciers could not have extensively eroded these surfaces. Five erratics dated above the Saglek zone, including one in the felsenmeer zone, have exposure ages ranging from 11.6 ± 1.0 to 13.6 ± 0.7 ka. This indicates that valley and high-elevation ice persisted through the Younger Dryas Chron and provides further evidence that the highlands were not nunataks during the Late Wisconsinan period. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Des analyses de sols et la datation d'affleurements ayant des nucléides cosmogéniques terrestres sont combinées et un modèle conceptuel est proposé pour expliquer les contrastes d'altération selon l'altitude dans les hautes terres à des latitudes élevées. Nous démontrons que les sommets dans des monts Torngat et Kaumajet étaient couverts par de la glace au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire et que leur couverture de felsenmeer a probablement subi de multiples événements de glaciation. Pour les lithologies semblables, les sols formés dans les zones de felsenmeer sont significativement plus altérés que ceux formés aux plus basses altitudes. Les tills ont des concentrations plus élevées de fer cristallin, d'aluminium amorphe et de silice extraite par oxalate. Les minéraux secondaires tels que la gibbsite et la kaolinite se retrouvent dans les sols des felsenmeers, alors que ceux formés dans le till ne présentent pas ces minéraux secondaires. Les âges d'exposition obtenus par 10Be et 26Al, pour neuf des dix échantillons, provenant de roches isolées de haute élévation et de blocs de felsenmeer autochtones, varient de 73 ± 6 à 157 ± 15 ka. Cependant, des âges de 11,4 ± 1,0 ka et de 11,7 ± 1,0 ka sont mesurés pour le socle dans la zone beaucoup plus basse de Saglek, indiquant une forte (>3 m) érosion glaciaire dans cette zone durant la glaciation au Wisconsinien tardif. Les rapports 26Al/10Be démontrent que l'exposition des surfaces à élévation élevée a été interrompue durant au moins un événement les protégeant contre les rayons cosmiques, soit par une couverture de till ou de glace. Dans un cas ou l'autre, les glaciers au Wisconsinien tardif n'ont pas pu éroder beaucoup ces surfaces. Cinq blocs erratiques provenant d'au-dessus de la zone Saglek ont été datés, incluant un bloc de la zone de felsenmeer; ils ont des âges d'exposition variant de 11,6 ± 1,0 ka à 13,6 ± 0,7 ka. Cela indique que la glace dans la vallée et dans les hautes élévations a persisté à travers l'épisode du Dryas récent et fournit des évidences supplémentaires que les hautes terres n'étaient pas des nunataks au cours de la période du Wisconsinien tardif.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Canadian Journal of Forest Research JF - Canadian Journal of Forest Research Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 34 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 93 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00455067 AB - Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, codominant markers that have great value for the construction of genetic maps, comparative mapping, population genetic surveys, and paternity analyses. Here, we report the development and testing of a set of SSR markers derived from shotgun sequencing from Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray, a nonenriched genomic DNA library, and bacterial artificial chromosomes. Approximately 23% of the 1536 genomic clones and 48% of the 768 bacterial artificial chromosome subclones contained an SSR. Of the sequences containing an SSR, 72.4% contained a dinucleotide, 19.5% a trinucleotide, and 8.1% a tetranucleotide repeat unit; 26.6% of the sequences contained multiple SSR motifs in a complex or compound repeat structures. A survey of the genome sequence database revealed very similar proportional distribution, indicating that our limited rapid, shallow sequencing effort is representative of genome-wide patterns. In total, 492 primer pairs were designed and these yielded 77 markers that were mapped in an F2 pedigree, including 26 that were sufficiently informative to be included in a Populus framework map. SSRs with GC-rich motifs mapped at a significantly higher frequency than expected, although AT-rich SSRs accounted for the majority of mapped markers due to their higher representation in the genome. SSR markers developed from P. trichocarpa showed high utility throughout the genus, with amplification rates in excess of 70% for all Populus species tested. Finally, at least 30% of the markers amplified in several willow species, suggesting that some of these SSRs will be transferable across genera. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Les microsatellites ou séquences répétées en tandem (SSRs) constituent des marqueurs codominants hautement polymorphes qui sont très utiles pour la construction de cartes génétiques, la cartographie comparée, les études de génétique des populations et les analyses de paternité. Les auteurs ont développé et testé un ensemble de marqueurs SSRs découlant du séquençage aléatoire d'une banque d'ADN génomique non enrichie et de chromosomes artificiels bactériens de Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray. Environ 23 % des 1536 clones génomiques et 48 % des 768 sous-clones de BAC contenaient un SSR. De ces séquences contenant un SSR, 72,4 % présentaient une répétition dinucléotidique, 19,5 % une répétition trinucléotidique et 8,1 % une répétition tétranucléotidique; 26,6 % des séquences présentaient des patrons SSRs multiples au sein de structures répétées complexes ou composées. Une étude de la base de données de la séquence du génome a révélé des proportions similaires des différents motifs, indiquant qu'un effort limité, rapide et superficiel de séquençage produit des SSRs représentatifs des patrons du génome dans son ensemble. Un total de 492 paires d'amorces ont été élaborées, résultant en 77 marqueurs qui ont été cartographiés à partir d'un pedigree F2, incluant 26 marqueurs assez informatifs pour être inclus dans une carte de base de Populus. Les marqueurs SSRs à motifs riches en GC étaient cartographiés à une fréquence significativement plus élevée que la fréquence espérée, quoique les SSRs à motifs riches en AT comptaient pour la majorité des marqueurs cartographiés en raison de leur plus forte représentation dans le génome. Les marqueurs SSRs développés à partir de P. trichocarpa ont démontré une bonne transférabilité à travers le genre, avec des taux d'amplification excédant 70 % pour toutes les espèces de Populus testées. Enfin, au moins 30 % des marqueurs ont été amplifiés chez plusieurs espèces de saule, indiquant que certains de ces marqueurs SSRs seront transférables d'une genre à l'autre.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Forest Research is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Mn12 grown in EG and SWNT exhibit downward shifts in its blocking temperature, ac susceptibility response and magnetic hysteresis loops. Temperature dependence of the magnetization reversal dynamics shows that encapsulation in EG or ozonated SWNT shortens the Arrhenius relaxation time for magnetization reversal, τo, from 7.8 × 10−8 to 1.4 × 10−8s, with a marginal lowering of the activation barrier from 68 ± 5 to 60 ± 5 K. The role of Mn–O modes in the magnetization dynamics together with these data indicate the potential for controlling Mn12 properties via encapsulation.

Dry nitrogen was bubbled into glycerol through a nozzle having an electrified tip while pressure measurements were made upstream of the nozzle. As the applied electric potential was increased from zero, bubble size reduced, bubble shape became more spherical, and bubbling frequency increased. At constant gas flow, bubble-formation exhibited a classic period-doubling route to chaos with increasing potential. We defined an electric Bond number assuming that both the liquid and gas phases are conducting. This is in contrast to previous studies where one phase was considered a perfect conductor and the other one a perfect nonconductor or insulator. Although electric potential and gas flow appear to have similar effects on the period-doubling bifurcation process for this system, the relative impact of electrostatic forces, as measured in terms of electric Bond number for conducting liquid and gas phases, is smaller. However, the relative impact of electrostatic forces for the case of insulating liquid and conducting gas phases is comparable to flow forces. Further data collection is required for different nozzle geometries and liquid column heights in order to verify the relative impacts of electrostatic and flow forces, and would allow us to ascertain if electrostatic potential is a feasible manipulated variable for controlling this system.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 62 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 28 SN - 01650009 AB - A problem for climate change studies with coupled ocean-atmosphere models has been how to incorporate observed initial conditions into the ocean, which holds most of the `memory' of anthropogenic forcing effects. The first difficulty is the lack of comprehensive three-dimensional observations of the current ocean temperature (T) and salinity (S) fields to initialize to. The second problem is that directly imposing observed T and S fields into the model results in rapid drift back to the model climatology, with the corresponding loss of the observed information. Anthropogenic forcing scenarios therefore typically initialize future runs by starting with pre-industrial conditions. However, if the future climate depends on the details of the present climate, then initializing the model to observations may provide more accurate forecasts. Also, this ~ 130 yr spin up imposes substantial overhead if only a few decades of predictions are desired. A new technique to address these problems is presented. In lieu of observed T and S, assimilated ocean data were used. To reduce model drift, an anomaly coupling scheme was devised. This consists of letting the model's climatological (pre-industrial) oceanic and atmospheric heat contents and transports balance each other, while adding on the (much smaller) changes in heat content since the pre-industrial era as anomalies. The result is model drift of no more than 0.2 K over 50 years, significantly smaller than the forced response of 1.0 K. An ensemble of runs with these assimilated initial conditions is then compared to a set spun up from pre-industrial conditions. No systematic differences were found, i.e., the model simulation of the ocean temperature structure in the late 1990s is statistically indistinguishable from the assimilated observations. However, a model with a worse representation of the late 20th century climate might show significant differences if initialized in this way.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 62 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 113 SN - 01650009 AB - To study the impacts of climate change on water resources in the western U.S., global climate simulations were produced using the National Center for Atmospheric Research/Department of Energy (NCAR/DOE) Parallel Climate Model (PCM). The Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) was used to downscale the PCM control (20 years) and three future (2040–2060) climate simulations to yield ensemble regional climate simulations at 40 km spatial resolution for the western U.S. This paper describes the regional simulations and focuses on the hydroclimate conditions in the Columbia River Basin (CRB) and Sacramento-San Joaquin River (SSJ) Basin. Results based on global and regional simulations show that by mid-century, the average regional warming of 1 to 2.5 °C strongly affects snowpack in the western U.S. Along coastal mountains, reduction in annual snowpack was about 70% as indicated by the regional simulations. Besides changes in mean temperature, precipitation, and snowpack, cold season extreme daily precipitation increased by 5 to 15 mm/day (15–20%) along the Cascades and the Sierra. The warming resulted in increased rainfall at the expense of reduced snowfall, and reduced snow accumulation (or earlier snowmelt) during the cold season. In the CRB, these changes were accompanied by more frequent rain-on-snow events. Overall, they induced higher likelihood of wintertime flooding and reduced runoff and soil moisture in the summer. Changes in surface water and energy budgets in the CRB and SSJ basin were affected mainly by changes in surface temperature, which were statistically significant at the 0.95 confidence level. Changes in precipitation, while spatially incoherent, were not statistically significant except for the drying trend during summer. Because snow and runoff are highly sensitive to spatial distributions of temperature and precipitation, this study shows that (1) downscaling provides more realistic estimates of hydrologic impacts in mountainous regions such as the western U.S., and (2) despite relatively small changes in temperature and precipitation, changes in snowpack and runoff can be much larger on monthly to seasonal time scales because the effects of temperature and precipitation are integrated over time and space through various surface hydrological and land-atmosphere feedback processes. Although the results reported in this study were derived from an ensemble of regional climate simulations driven by a global climate model that displays low climate sensitivity compared with most other models, climate change was found to significantly affect water resources in the western U.S. by the mid twenty-first century.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 62 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 216 SN - 01650009 AB - Six approaches for downscaling climate model outputs for use in hydrologic simulation were evaluated, with particular emphasis on each method''s ability to produce precipitation and other variables used to drive a macroscale hydrology model applied at much higher spatial resolution than the climate model. Comparisons were made on the basis of a twenty-year retrospective (1975–1995) climate simulation produced by the NCAR-DOE Parallel Climate Model (PCM), and the implications of the comparison for a future (2040–2060) PCM climate scenario were also explored. The six approaches were made up of three relatively simple statistical downscaling methods – linear interpolation (LI), spatial disaggregation (SD), and bias-correction and spatial disaggregation (BCSD) – each applied to both PCM output directly (at T42 spatial resolution), and after dynamical downscaling via a Regional Climate Model (RCM – at ½-degree spatial resolution), for downscaling the climate model outputs to the ⅛-degree spatial resolution of the hydrological model. For the retrospective climate simulation, results were compared to an observed gridded climatology of temperature and precipitation, and gridded hydrologic variables resulting from forcing the hydrologic model with observations. The most significant findings are that the BCSD method was successful in reproducing the main features of the observed hydrometeorology from the retrospective climate simulation, when applied to both PCM and RCM outputs. Linear interpolation produced better results using RCM output than PCM output, but both methods (PCM-LI and RCM-LI) lead to unacceptably biased hydrologic simulations. Spatial disaggregation of the PCM output produced results similar to those achieved with the RCM interpolated output; nonetheless, neither PCM nor RCM output was useful for hydrologic simulation purposes without a bias-correction step. For the future climate scenario, only the BCSD-method (using PCM or RCM) was able to produce hydrologically plausible results. With the BCSD method, the RCM-derived hydrology was more sensitive to climate change than the PCM-derived hydrology.

Two distinct classes of GM1 containing membrane-mimetic surfaces were prepared: supported lipid bilayer membranes (sBLMs) on freshly cleaved mica and hybrid lipid bilayer membranes (hBLMs) on octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) derivatized silicon substrates. On sBLMs, aggregates with a well-defined ordered arrangement of individual CTB molecules were observed at all GM1 and cholera concentrations studied. In sharp contrast, features consistent with randomly distributed adsorbed individual CTB molecules were seen on a bare mica surface. On the hBLMs, the aggregate structures were only observed when the bilayer was formed onto ordered OTS surfaces, offering continuous and defect-free lipid membrane for the lateral diffusion of GM1. Ill-packed and disordered OTS monolayers yielded a random distribution of adsorbed proteins comparable to that observed for CTB binding on bare mica substrates. These observations strongly support that the aggregation of CTB–GM1 complex is a result of the specific interaction of CTB molecules with GM1 receptors in the fluid membrane bilayers. The high mobility of GM1 allows lateral diffusion of the complex to form ordered aggregates.

An appropriate treatment of time is essential to realistically simulate landscape dynamics. Current land-use models provide little justification of their treatment of time. As a result, little is known about how the time dimension impacts the spatio-temporal patterns produced by land-use simulation models. This paper reports a first exploration on this issue. It examines the impact of the degree of temporal dynamics on the behavior of an urban growth model which is based on a modified Markov random field and probabilistic cellular automata. Experimental results from this case study suggest that the degree of temporal dynamics does have an important impact on the urban morphology produced by the model. Too much or too little dynamics could both lead to unrealistic patterns. However, the impact seems to vary for processes with different levels of change intensity. In the case of a process with moderate changes, the impact of temporal dynamics is also moderate. For a process with high change rate, the degree of temporal dynamics affects the model output significantly. The implication of these findings is discussed in the context of information accessibility and operational land-use modeling.

Envelopes of the AE signals were quasi-continuously measured with high-time resolution of 100 μs using six multi-channel AE sensors in order to detect the disturbances in the CS model coil during the process of the series of direct current (DC) operations. The AE signals were considered to be originally induced by motion of superconducting cables in cable-in-conduit (CIC) conductors and local motion of the conductors, judging from the close correlation between the AE signals and voltage spikes in the coil, especially during the virgin current operation. The multi-channel measurements provide us with information about the distribution of disturbances that could be detected acoustically by the AE sensors installed at each point of the CS model coil. The observation of AE envelopes with high-time resolution showed that the disturbances at each location of the CS model coil decreased by repeatedly charging-up the coil, judging from instantaneous AE levels, AE energy and the number of AE events. Direct measurements of the number of AE events that were carried out at another point on the coil confirmed that the disturbance dependence on the number of operations was similar to that mentioned above. The transfer function methods using one pair of AE sensors enabled us to analyze changes that might occur in either the coil structure or in the disturbance in frequency region during the repeating of the charging-up processes of the coil.

Various techniques (contact angle measurements, ellipsometry, ATR-FTIR) were employed for determining the quality of the monolayer coating. In addition, the bare and silane-coated Si wafers were studied by X-ray reflectivity (XR) and grazing-incidence diffraction (GID) using synchrotron radiation. The results obtained point to a possible relationship between the organization of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coating, the dipole moment of the headgroup, and the orientation of the ZnO crystals.

It is also a question we are still asking today because it is absolutely essential that a cell correctly distinguishes between natural chromosomal DNA ends and broken DNA ends, then processes each appropriately – preserving the one, rejoining the other. Effective end-capping of mammalian telomeres has a seemingly paradoxical requirement for proteins more commonly associated with DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. Ku70, Ku80, DNA-PKcs (the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase), Xrcc4 and Artemis all participate in DSB repair through nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). Somewhat surprisingly, mutations in any of these genes cause spontaneous chromosomal end-to-end fusions that maintain large blocks of telomeric sequence at the points of fusion, suggesting loss or failure of a critical terminal structure, rather than telomere shortening, is at fault. Nascent telomeres produced via leading-strand DNA synthesis are especially susceptible to these end-to-end fusions, suggesting a crucial difference in the postreplicative processing of telomeres that is linked to their mode of replication. Here we will examine the dual roles played by DNA repair proteins. Our review of this rapidly advancing field primarily will focus on mammalian cells, and cannot include even all of this. Despite these limitations, we hope the review will serve as a useful gateway to the literature, and will help to frame the major issues in this exciting and rapidly progressing field.

By comparing apatite fission-track ages with cosmogenic data, erosion rates in southern Tibet appear to be decelerating since the Miocene, whereas in the Kunlun, erosion rates have accelerated over the same timescale. Such secular changes suggest that the southern and central regions of the plateau had formed their present flat relief by the Pleistocene. Unusually high erosion rates along the northern margin of the plateau may reflect intense tectonic activity during the Holocene. These findings indicate that over much of the high plateau erosion rates are exceptionally low, and therefore the sources of detritus carried by the great Asian rivers that rise in Tibet lie overwhelmingly in bedrocks at lower altitudes. This study illustrates the potential of cosmogenic studies for unraveling the most recent phase of the erosion/exhumation history of orogenic belts that cannot be resolved by either Ar-isotope or fission-track thermochronometers.

T1 - Hf–Nd isotope decoupling in the oceanic lithosphere: constraints from spinel peridotites from Oahu, Hawaii JO - Earth & Planetary Science Letters JF - Earth & Planetary Science Letters Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 217 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 43 EP - 58 SN - 0012821X AB - We present a detailed geochemical investigation on the Hf, Nd and Sr isotope compositions and trace and major element contents of clinopyroxene mineral separates from spinel lherzolite xenoliths from the island of Oahu, Hawaii. These peridotites are believed to represent the depleted oceanic lithosphere beneath Oahu, which is a residue of a MORB-related melting event some 80–100 Ma ago at a mid-ocean ridge. Clinopyroxenes from peridotites from the Salt Lake Crater (SLC) show a large range of Hf isotopic compositions, from ∊Hf=12.2 (similar to the Honolulu volcanics series) to extremely radiogenic, ∊Hf=65, at nearly constant 143Nd/144Nd ratios (∊Nd=7–8). None of these samples show any isotopic evidence for interaction with Koolau-type melts. A single xenolith from the Pali vent is the only sample with Hf and Nd isotopic compositions that falls within the MORB field. The Hf isotopes correlate positively with the degree of depletion in the clinopyroxene (e.g. increasing Mg#, Cr#, decreasing Ti and heavy REE contents), but also with increasing Zr and Hf depletions relative to the adjacent REE in a compatibility diagram. The Lu/Hf isotope systematics of the SLC clinopyroxenes define apparent ages of 500 Ma or older and these compositions cannot be explained by mixing between any type of Hawaiian melts and the depleted Pacific lithosphere. Metasomatism of an ancient (e.g. 1 Ga or older) depleted peridotite protolith can, in principle, explain these apparent ages and the Nd–Hf isotope decoupling, but requires that the most depleted samples were subject to the least amount of metasomatism. Alternatively, the combined isotope, trace and major element compositions of these clinopyroxenes are best described by metasomatism of the 80–100 Ma depleted oceanic lithosphere by melts products of extensive mantle–melt interaction between Honolulu Volcanics-type melts and the depleted lithosphere.

JO - Earth Interactions JF - Earth Interactions Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 25 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 10873562 AB - The authors describe planetary-scale modeling of mixed-layer dimethyl sulfide (DMS) processing and distributions, conducted at a resolution of 0.288 using the Parallel Ocean Program (POP). Ecodynamic routines embedded within POP track the interactions of bacteria, multiple phytoplankton species, zooplankton, and both dissolved and detrital organics. Biogeochemistry linked to the ecosystem includes full elemental cycling for iron, nitrogen, silicon, carbon, and the portion of the sulfur cycle leading through the formation of intracellular dimethyl sulfoniopropionate (DMSP) to dissolved DMS. The two reduced sulfur compounds are emitted from the numerical plant bins at average rates proportional to the taxonomically dependent DMSP content. Within the water column they are subjected to photolysis, interconversion, consumption by the bacterial pool, and loss into the troposphere. Biogeochemical species distributions were calculated synchronously with the POP ocean circulation for the period 1995-2000. The DMS concentration patterns generated agree with available global climatologies in several important aspects. Average values fall consistently between tenths to several nanomolar and remain near the low end of the interval within the oligotrophic gyres, while maxima favor the spring hemisphere. Mesoscale coupling of eddies and geocycles leads to strong variability in the 10-100-km range that is superimposed upon local baselines. Integrated flux into the atmosphere lies toward the low end of the envelope of some recent independent calculations. This is primarily attributable to a slight but persistent underprediction of concentration. Several clear deficiencies remain in the sulfur cycle mechanism. For example, bacterial uptake and the taxonomic dependence of exudation are closely linked and together may require improved parameterization.

The soil carbon inventories in five soil cores collected from ambient chambers and six soil cores collected from elevated chambers at the Global Change Field Research Site, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, were measured. The authors conclude that the increase in soil carbon was due to an increase in belowground soil carbon input, because above ground litter inputs were excluded by experimental design. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that elevated carbon dioxide levels are increasing the amount of carbon stored in soil.

SN - 01956574 AB - Index numbers have been used to decompose aggregate trends in energy intensity, i.e., the ratio of energy use to activity. By making a direct appeal to the theory underlying price index numbers used by the energy decomposition literature, this note proposes the chain weighted Fisher Ideal Index as a formula that solves the 'residual problem.' The connection to index number theory also allows us to illustrate that the measures of activity used to define energy intensity need not be additive across the sectors that are involved in the decomposition. We give an empirical example using recent U.S. manufacturing data of the Fisher Ideal Index, compared to the Törnqvist Divisia index, a popular index in the energy literature.

The software platform contains multiple modules that can be used to simulate relevant features, events, and processes that include water flux through the cover, source-term release, vadose-zone transport, saturated-zone transport, gas transport, and exposure pathways. The component models are integrated into a probabilistic total-system performance-assessment model within a drag-and-drop software platform. Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses can be conducted that yield the following primary benefits: (1) quantification of uncertainty in the simulated performance metrics; (2) identification of parameters most important to performance; and (3) comparison of alternative designs to optimize cost and performance. A case study has been performed using the Monticello Mill Tailings Site in Utah to illustrate the important features and benefits of the modeling approach and software.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/01//1/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 139 EP - 147 SN - 0013936X AB - The reactions of eight model contaminants with nine types of granular Fe(O) were studied in batch experiments using consistent experimental conditions. The model contaminants (herein referred to as "reductates" because they were reduced by the iron metal) included cations (Cu[SUP2+]), anions (CrO[SUB4][SUP2-], NO[SUB3][SUP-], and 5,5',7,7'-indigotetrasulfonate), and neutral species (2-chloroacetophenone, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, carbon tetrachloride, and trichioroethene). The diversity of this range of reductates offers a uniquely broad perspective on the reactivity of Fe(O). Rate constants for disappearance of the reductates vary over as much as four orders of magnitude for particular reductates (due to differences in the nine types of iron) but differences among the reductates were even larger, ranging over almost seven orders of magnitude. Various ways of summarizing the data all suggest that relative reactivities with Fe(O) vary in the order Cu[SUP2+] 5,5',7,7'-indigotetrasulfonate > 2-chloroacetophenone, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene > carbon tetrachloride, CrO[SUB4][SUP2-] > trichloroethene > NO[SUB3][SUP-]. Although the reductate has the largest effect on disappearance kinetics, more subtle differences in reactivity due to the type of Fe(O) suggests that removal of CrO[SUB2][SUP2-] and NO[SUB3][SUP-] (the inorganic anions) involves adsorption to oxides on the Fe(O), whereas the disappearance kinetics of all other types of reductants is favored by reduction on comparatively oxide-free metal. Correlation analysis of the disappearance rate constants using descriptors of the reductates calculated by molecular modeling (energies of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, LUMO, highest occupied molecular orbitals, HOMO, and HOMO-LUMO gaps) showed that reactivities generally decrease with increasing E[SUBLUMO] and increasing E[SUBGAP] (and, therefore, increasing chemical hardness η).

The colocation of four instruments for the measurement of volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs) allowed a unique opportunity for the intercomparison of the different in-situ measuring techniques. The instruments included three gas chromatographs, each with a different type of detector, and a Proton-Transfer- Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) with each system designed to measure a different suite of VOCs. Correlation plots and correlation statistics are presented for species measured by more than one of these instruments. The GC instruments were all in agreement to within 10-20% (slope) with coefficients of variation (r[SUP2]) of ≥0.85. The PTR- MS agreement with other instruments was more dependent on species with some very good agreements (r[SUP2] values of ∼0.95 for some aromatics), but isoprene, acetaldehyde and propene were substantially less highly correlated (0.55 PCA > 1,1,1,2-TeCA . 1,1,1-TCA > 1,1,2,2- TeCA > 1,1,2-TCA > 1,1-DCA), and isomers with the more asymmetric distributions of halogen groups were more rapidly reduced than the isomer with greater symmetry (e.g., 1,1,1-TCA > 1,1,2-TCA). The addition of AgI or CuII to green rust suspensions resulted in a substantial increase in the rate of halogenated ethane reduction as well as significant differences in the product distributions with respect to green rust alone.

To explore the evolutionary history of LPA, we performed extensive genomic sequence comparisons of multiple species with and without an LPA gene product, such as human, baboon, hedgehog, lemur, and mouse. This analysis indicated that LPA arose independently in a subset of primates, including baboon and human, and an insectivore, the hedgehog, and was not simply lost by species lacking it. The similar structural domains shared by the hedgehog and primate LPA indicate that they were formed by a unique molecular mechanism involving the convergent evolution of paralogous genes in these distant species.

T1 - Chromium speciation and mobility in a high level nuclear waste vadose zone plume JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 68 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 30 SN - 00167037 AB - Radioactive core samples containing elevated concentrations of Cr from a high level nuclear waste plume in the Hanford vadose zone were studied to asses the future mobility of Cr. Cr(VI) is an important subsurface contaminant at the Hanford Site. The plume originated in 1969 by leakage of self-boiling supernate from a tank containing REDOX process waste. The supernate contained high concentrations of alkali (NaOH ≈ 5.25 mol/L), salt (NaNO3/NaNO2 >10 mol/L), aluminate [Al(OH)4− = 3.36 mol/L], Cr(VI) (0.413 mol/L), and 137Cs+ (6.51 × 10−5 mol/L). Water and acid extraction of the oxidized subsurface sediments indicated that a significant portion of the total Cr was associated with the solid phase. Mineralogic analyses, Cr valence speciation measurements by X-ray adsorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, and small column leaching studies were performed to identify the chemical retardation mechanism and leachability of Cr. While X-ray diffraction detected little mineralogic change to the sediments from waste reaction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that mineral particles within 5 m of the point of tank failure were coated with secondary, sodium aluminosilicate precipitates. The density of these precipitates decreased with distance from the source (e.g., beyond 10 m). The XANES and column studies demonstrated the reduction of 29–75% of the total Cr to insoluble Cr(III), and the apparent precipitation of up to 43% of the Cr(VI) as an unidentified, non-leachable phase. Both Cr(VI) reduction and Cr(VI) precipitation were greater in sediments closer to the leak source where significant mineral alteration was noted by SEM. These and other observations imply that basic mineral hydrolysis driven by large concentrations of OH− in the waste stream liberated Fe(II) from the otherwise oxidizing sediments that served as a reductant for CrO42−. The coarse-textured Hanford sediments contain silt-sized mineral phases (biotite, clinochlore, magnetite, and ilmenite) that are sources of Fe(II). Other dissolution products (e.g., Ba2+) or Al(OH)4− present in the waste stream may have induced Cr(VI) precipitation as pH moderated through mineral reaction. The results demonstrate that a minimum of 42% of the total Cr inventory in all of the samples was immobilized as Cr(III) and Cr(VI) precipitates that are unlikely to dissolve and migrate to groundwater under the low recharge conditions of the Hanford vadose zone.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 32 SN - 00917613 AB - The characterization of intragrain mineralogical and isotopic zoning patterns provides the basis for estimating the duration of fluid-rock interaction associated with mineral replacement reactions. In the Rico, Colorado, hydrothermal system, oxygen isotope ratios in reaction rims on partially reacted plagioclase feldspar exhibit some of the largest gradients yet reported for individual grains (to 15‰). The extent of rim formation and accompanying isotopic exchange vary across the system as a function of temperature, fluid isotope composition, and the local fluid/rock ratio. Distal feldspars show narrow rims with [sup 18]O enrichments relative to pristine feldspars. Feldspars intermediate or proximal to the system's center have wide reaction rims or are completely exchanged and show [sup 18]O depletions. Formation times of reaction rims and associated isotopic patterns have been estimated with a coupled reaction-diffusion model that suggests that hotter (∼250-350 °C) hydrothermal circulation was active for ∼100-300 k.y. in the center part of the system, perhaps only while the igneous heat engine was still magma.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 69 EP - 72 SN - 00917613 AB - A geochemical investigation of springs near Three Sisters volcanoes was conducted in response to the detection of crustal uplift west of the peaks. Dilute, low-temperature springs near the center of uplift show ³He/[sup 4]He ratios ≥7R[sub A] (R[sub A] is the ratio in air), and transport in total ∼16 MW of heat and ∼180 g/s of magmatic carbon (as CO[sub 2]). These anomalous conditions clearly reflect the influence of magma, but they seemingly predate the onset of the present uplift and derive from a previous event. Episodes of intrusion may thus be more common in this area than the age of eruptive vents would imply. Keywords: Three Sisters; Oregon; springs; gases; intrusions.

The CES methodology is part of LLNL's regulatory approved compliance monitoring plan (Lamarre et al. 1996). It allows LLNL to adjust the ground water sampling plan every quarter in response to changing conditions at the site. Since the use of the CES methodology has been approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies, such adjustments do not need additional regulatory approval. This permits LLNL to respond more quickly to changing conditions. The CES methodology bases the sampling frequency for each location on trend. variability, and magnitude statistics describing the contaminants at that location, and on the input of the technical staff (hydrologists, chemists, statisticians, and project leaders). After initial setup is complete, each application of CES takes only a few days for as many as 400 wells. Effective use of the CES methodology requires sufficient data, an understanding of contaminant transport at the site, and an adequate number of monitoring wells downgradient of the contamination. The initial implementation of CES at LLNL in 1992 produced a 40% reduction in the required number of annual routine ground water samples at LLNL. This has saved LLNL $390,000 annually in sampling, analysis, and data management costs.

A large-scale laboratory setup is developed with an operating voltage of up to 1.2 MV, which is a chamber with flat electrodes separated by a segmented insulator. A sensitive collector method of analyzing the spectra of high-energy electrons is developed, which is used in electron detectors with a large collecting surface. The multiplication of relativistic electrons in the air is investigated at voltages of up to 1.0 MV. The initial stage of a relativistic electron avalanche is realized for the first time. The results of measurements agree with the results of Monte Carlo simulation.

Several distinct regions and boundaries have been identified on both inbound and outbound trajectories, including an upstream region of decelerated solar wind plasma and cometary ion pickup, the cometary bow shock, a sheath of heated and mixed solar wind and cometary ions, and a collisional inner coma dominated by cometary ions. All of these features were significantly offset to the north of the nucleus–Sun line, suggesting that the coma itself produces this offset, possibly because of well-collimated large dayside jets directed 8°–10° northward from the nucleus as observed by the DS1 MICAS camera. The maximum observed ion density was 1640 ion/cm3 at a distance of 2650 km from the nucleus while the flow speed dropped from 360 km/s in the solar wind to 8 km/s at closest approach. Preliminary analysis of PEPE mass spectra suggest that the ratio of CO+/H2O+ is lower than that observed with Giotto at 1P/Halley.

Compared to the traditional full and half bridge bidirectional dc-dc converters for the similar applications, the new topology has the advantages of simple circuit topology with no total device rating (TDR) penalty, soft-switching implementation without additional devices, high efficiency and simple control. These advantages make the new converter promising for medium and high power applications especially for auxiliary power supply in fuel cell vehicles and power generation where the high power density, low cost, lightweight and high reliability power converters are required. The operating principle, theoretical analysis, and design guidelines are provided in this paper. The simulation and the experimental verifications are also presented.

T1 - Antenna-coupled microbolometer arrays with aerogel thermal isolation JO - Infrared Physics & Technology JF - Infrared Physics & Technology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 45 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 47 SN - 13504495 AB - Uncooled bolometric detectors used in infrared imaging systems have slow response times (∼10 ms) which makes them impractical for fast-frame-rate applications. Antenna-coupled microbolometer arrays have been shown to have fast response times (∼130 ns) and can be used as picture elements in infrared imaging systems but lack sufficient responsivity. Thermal isolation of antenna-coupled microbolometer arrays will increase its responsivity but will also increase its response time. Thermal isolation can be achieved using silica aerogel as a substrate, and its porosity can be used to modify the thermal conductivity down to values lower than air. In this paper antenna-coupled microbolometer arrays were fabricated on a substrate coated with a thin film of aerogel, noise, response and radiation characteristics were measured and compared to similar devices fabricated on a SiO2 substrate. The measured signal-to-noise ratio of devices fabricated on aerogel were one order of magnitude higher than devices fabricated on SiO2 and had time constants around 5 μs.

The device employs two laser curtain and diode detector pairs that are mounted orthogonally to each other. Each pair has its own controller, which is used to obtain 3500 simultaneous measurements of the height and diameter of the specimens. The precision of the measurements is less than 10 µm over a period of more that 2 years. The device was also used to measure various parallelepipeds. It was possible to determine the dimensions of these parallelepipeds and the angle between the sides. Several improvements to the device are recommended.

The densities of specimens quenched from different temperatures (to freeze in the thermal vacancies) were obtained from room temperature lattice parameter and bulk density measurements. The two sets of density data were extrapolated to a quenching temperature of 0 K and adjusted to match at that temperature. From the adjusted density values the vacancy concentrations were calculated as a function of temperature. The vacancy formation enthalpy for stoichiometric FeAl was found to be (0.51±0.14) eV. A comparison with published experimental and theoretical formation enthalpies showed considerable uncertainty in measuring and interpreting the formation energy. As a result, the formation energy for thermal vacancies in stoichiometric FeAl is believed to be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.8 eV.

For temperatures of 600 °C and below the specimen bulk density or length were found to depend on heat treatment history, i.e., they were not unique functions of the temperature. This path dependence suggests a lack of active sources and sinks for thermal vacancies in FeAl at temperatures below ≈600 °C.

Cells operate in the 600-1000°C temperature range and utilize metallic or ceramic current collectors for cell-to-cell interconnection. Recent developments in engineered electrode architectures, component materials chemistry, cell and stack designs, and fabrication processes have led to significant improvements in the electrical performance and performance stability as well as reduction in the operating temperature of such cells. Large kW-size power-generation systems have been designed and field demonstrated. This paper reviews the status of SOFC power-generation systems with emphasis on cell and stack component materials, electrode reactions, materials reactions, and corrosion processes.

As new technologies enter the marketplace, and as experience is gained in both their production and use, costs tend to decline with each successive doubling of investment or production. This paper examines learning-by-doing for demand-side technologies. Omitting the learning-by-doing demand-side perspective may introduce a bias into technology forecasts. The implications of this observation through the application of a heuristic model that captures the anticipated electricity service demand within the U.S.over the next 30 years have been examined.

Using an environmental SEM, observations were made in vacuum and in the presence of water vapor at 20 Torr. In the vacuum environment, fatigue cracks in the magnesium formed preferentially at pores, sometimes precluded by observable cyclic slip accumulation. At higher cycle numbers in the vacuum environment, additional cracks were discovered to initiate at persistent slip bands within relatively large magnesium dendrite cells. The propagation behavior of small fatigue cracks (a < 6–10 dendrite cells) was found to depend strongly on both environment and microstructure. Small fatigue cracks in the magnesium cycled under vacuum were discovered to propagate along interdendritic regions, along crystallographic planes, and through the dendrite cells. The preference to choose a given path is driven by the presence of microporosity, persistent slip bands, and slip incompatibilities between adjacent dendrite cells. Fatigue cracks formed more rapidly at certain locations in the water vapor environment compared to the vacuum environment, leading to a smaller total number of cracks in the water vapor environment. The majority of small cracks in magnesium cycled in the water vapor environment propagated straight through the dendrite cells, at a faster rate than the cracks in the vacuum. In the water vapor environment, cracks were observed to grow less frequently through interdendritic regions, even in the presence of microporosity, and cracks did not grow via persistent slip bands. The propagation behavior of slightly larger fatigue cracks (a > 6–10 dendrite cells) was found to be Mode I-dominated in both environments.

T1 - Combination of boron neutron capture therapy and external beam radiotherapy for brain tumors JO - International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics JF - International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 267 SN - 03603016 AB - : PurposeBoron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been used clinically as a single modality treatment for high-grade gliomas and melanomas metastatic to the brain. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether its efficacy could be enhanced by an X-ray boost administered after BNCT. Two brain tumor models were used, the F98 glioma as a model for primary brain tumors and the MRA 27 human melanoma as a model for metastatic brain tumors.: Methods and materialsFor biodistribution studies, either 105 F98 glioma cells were implanted stereotactically into the brains of syngeneic Fischer rats or 106 MRA 27 melanoma cells were implanted intracerebrally into National Institutes of Health (NIH)-rnu nude rats. Biodistribution studies were performed 11–13 days after implantation of the F98 glioma and 20–24 days after implantation of the MRA 27 melanoma. Animals bearing the F98 glioma received a combination of two boron-containing drugs, sodium borocaptate at a dose of 30 mg/kg and boron phenylalanine (BPA) at a dose of 250 mg/kg. MRA 27 melanoma-bearing rats received BPA (500 mg/kg) containing an equivalent amount of 10B (27 mg B/kg). The drugs were administered by either intracarotid or i.v. injection.: ResultsThe tumor boron concentration after intracarotid injection was ∼50% greater in the F98 glioma and MRA 27 melanoma after intracarotid injection (20.8 and 36.8 μg/g, respectively) compared with i.v. injection (11.2 and 19.5 μg/g, respectively). BNCT was carried out at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Medical Research Reactor ∼14 days after tumor implantation of either the F98 glioma or the MRA 27 melanoma. Approximately 7–10 days after BNCT, subsets of animals were irradiated with 6-MV photons, produced by a linear accelerator at a total dose of 15 Gy, delivered in 5-Gy daily fractions. F98 glioma-bearing rats that received intracarotid or i.v. sodium borocaptate plus BPA, followed 2.5 h later by BNCT and 7–10 days later by X-rays, had similar mean survival times (61 days and 53 days, respectively, p = 0.25), and the non X-irradiated, BNCT-treated animals had a mean survival time of 52 and 40 days, respectively, for intracarotid vs. i.v. injection; the latter was equivalent to that of the irradiated animals. The corresponding survival time for MRA 27 melanoma-bearing rats that received intracarotid or i.v. BPA, followed by BNCT and then X-irradiation, was 75 and 82 days, respectively (p = 0.5), 54 days without X-irradiation (p = 0.0002), 37 days for X-irradiation alone, and 24 days for untreated controls. In contrast to the data obtained with the F98 glioma, MRA 27 melanoma-bearing rats that received i.v. BPA, followed by BNCT, had a highly significant difference in mean survival time compared with the irradiated controls (54 vs. 37 days, p = 0.008).: ConclusionOur data are the first to suggest that a significant therapeutic gain may be obtained when BNCT is combined with an X-ray boost. Additional experimental studies are required to determine the optimal combination of X-radiation and neutron doses and whether it is more advantageous to administer the photon boost before or after BNCT.

The experimental conditions involved relatively short contact times for which interchain penetration effects across the interface are minimal. Only lenses that had been extracted in toluene displayed self-adhesion hysteresis. The same lenses demonstrated no adhesion hysteresis when pressed against tethered polystyrene substrates, indicating that hysteresis was caused by surface interactions and not bulk viscoelastic effects. Extraction produces hysteresis by removing the free chains, which normally lubricate the interface, inhibiting the adhesion mechanism. Self-adhesion hysteresis was only observed for networks with a high molecular weight between crosslinks. More tightly crosslinked networks did not display self-adhesion hysteresis, even at extended contact times under load. By inhibiting the hydrosilylation reaction between residual vinyl and silane groups in the PDMS lenses, self-adhesion hysteresis was prevented, suggesting that the formation of chemical crosslinks across the interface caused the observed hysteresis. The molecular weight dependence of the hysteresis can be interpreted in terms of the Lake-Thomas model [1] for fracture in elastomers.

Replacing grown-in protium with deuterium (D) and employing sensitive nuclear-reaction analysis allowed the retained concentration to be followed quantitatively over two decades during isothermal heating, illuminating the kinetics of controlling processes. Oxidation attending the O[sub 2] exposures was monitored through nuclear-reaction analysis of [sup 18]O. N[sub 2] gas at atmospheric pressure increases the rate of D release appreciably relative to vacuum. The acceleration produced by O[sub 2] gas is much greater, but is diminished in later stages of the release by oxidation. The N[sub 2] plasma employed in these studies had no resolvable effect. We argue that surface desorption is rate controlling in the D release, and that it occurs by D–D recombination and the formation of N–D and O–D species. Our results are quantitatively consistent with a theoretical model wherein the bulk solution is in equilibrium with surface states from which desorption occurs by processes that are both first and second order in surface coverage. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The losses at low fields were found to be a strong function of the film thickness. The measured losses were compared with the theoretically calculated losses. The ac losses calculated using a field-independent critical-current density, the Bean model [J. R. Clem and A. Sanchez, Phys. Rev. B 50, 9355 (1994)], agreed very well with the 0.2-μm-thick film, while the calculated losses agreed well with the measured ones when a field-dependent critical-current density, the Kim model [D. V. Shantsev, Y. M. Galperin, and T. H. Johansen, Phys. Rev. B 61, 9699 (2000)], was used for the films of thickness 1.0 and 3.0 μm. However, a surprising discrepancy was found in the values of B[sub c] and B[sub 0] for thinner YBCO films depending on whether they were determined by ac or dc measurements. B[sub c] is defined as B[sub c]=μ[sub 0]J[sub c](0)d/2, B[sub 0] is the characteristic field in the Kim-model critical-current density J[sub cK](B[sub a])=J[sub c](0)/(1+B[sub a]/B[sub 0]), and J[sub c](0) is the critical-current density at applied magnetic field B[sub a]=0. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The resulting NM are consistent with the vibrational density of states (DOS) (every feature of the DOS can be attributed to one or few NMs). At low temperatures they coincide with the ones obtained from the Hessian matrix. We define the NMs (ρ[subi]) by imposing the condition that their velocities be uncorrelated to each other: [This equation cannot be represented into ASCII text.], where ‹› denotes time average and δ[subij] is Kronecker’s delta. With this definition the modes are the eigenvectors of the matrix K[supv][subij] = 1/2‹√m[subi]m[subj]v[subi]v[subj]›[i, j = 1,. . . ,3N (N being the number of atoms); m are masses and v atomic velocities]. The eigenvalues of K[supv][subij], λ[sup0][subj], represent the kinetic energy in each NM. The ratio between the eigenvalues (λ[supv][subi]) and those obtained using positions (λ[supr][subi]), accelerations (λ[supa][subi]) in K[supv][subij] instead of velocities are a very good approximation to the mode frequencies: 2πv[subi]∼(λ[supv][subi]/ λ[supx][subi])[sup(1/2)]∼( λ[supa][subi]/ λ[supx][subi])[sup(1/4)]. We demonstrate the new method using with two cases: an isolated water molecule and a crystalline polymer.

The method is based on Anderson mixing [D. G. Anderson, J. Assoc. Comput. Mach. 12, 547 (1965)], and each iteration computed takes negligibly longer to perform than with other methods, but the number of iterations required to reach a high accuracy solution is greatly reduced. No a priori knowledge of possible phases is required to apply this method. We apply our approach to a standard diblock copolymer melt, and demonstrate iteration reductions of more than a factor of 5 in some cases. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We found negligible differences in structural properties obtained using the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof or the Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr exchange and correlation energy functionals; we also found that size effects, although not fully negligible when using 32 molecule cells, are rather small. In addition, we identified a wide range of values of the fictitious electronic mass (μ) entering the CP Lagrangian for which the electronic ground state is accurately described, yielding trajectories and average properties that are independent of the value chosen. However, care must be exercised not to carry out simulations outside this range, where structural properties may artificially depend on μ. In the case of an accurate description of the electronic ground state, and in the absence of proton quantum effects, we obtained an oxygen–oxygen correlation function that is overstructured compared to experiment, and a diffusion coefficient which is approximately ten times smaller. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The method is based on two established foundations. First, the method is based upon variational grid adaptation, retaining all the well-known properties of robustness and regularity. Second, the adaptation method presented here is based on a general definition of the error detector obtained from the moving finite element (MFE) method. The error detector is general, applicable to any given problem, and does not require any a priori knowledge of the solution or of the physical behaviour of the system under investigation. The primary theoretical contribution of the present work is in establishing a link between various adaptation methods previously regarded as different and unrelated. We show that they all derive from the same approach and are all equivalent in the sense that the same grid is generated by all of them for the same problem, once the monitor functions are chosen according to our approach. The primary practical contribution of the present work is in prescribing a rigorous monitor function for previously published adaptation strategies. The choice proposed here is shown to outperform previous heuristic choices. The method is tested in a series of elliptic problems, where the adaptation strategy presented here can improve the accuracy by orders of magnitude.

The method is based on the multiple shooting method for free boundary value problems. We demonstrate the method by solving one-dimensional Riemann problems for hyperelastic solid mechanics. Even for conditions representative of routine laboratory conditions and military ballistics, dramatic differences are seen between the exact and approximate Riemann solution. The greatest discrepancy arises from misallocation of energy between compressional and thermal modes by the approximate solver, resulting in nonphysical entropy and temperature estimates. Several pathological conditions arise in common practice and modifications to the method to handle these are discussed. These include points where genuine nonlinearity is lost, degeneracies, and eigenvector deficiencies that occur upon melting.

We assume that each layer is homogeneous and has a constant thermal diffusivity. The mass/heat flow direction is perpendicular to the layers, and the mass flow rate is a constant. The analytical solution presented in this study also assumes constant known temperatures at the two boundaries of the system. Although the analytical solution gives the temperature as a function of a few parameters, we focus on the inverse application to estimate the percolation rate in a vadose zone. Example applications have shown that with reliable field observation data, the solution can be used to determine the percolation rate to high degree of accuracy (e.g., to mm/year). In some other cases, the solution may also be helpful in characterizing potential lateral flow along layer divides.

In this power plant, methane is combusted with oxygen in a gas generator to produce the working fluid for the turbines. The combustion produces a gas mixture composed of steam and carbon dioxide. These gases drive multiple turbines to produce electricity. The turbine discharge gases pass to a condenser where water is captured. A stream of pure carbon dioxide then results that can be used for enhanced oil recovery or for sequestration. The analysis considers a complete power plant layout, including an air separation unit, compressors and intercoolers for oxygen and methane compression, a gas generator, three steam turbines, a reheater, two preheaters, a condenser, and a pumping system to pump the carbon dioxide to the pressure required for sequestration. This analysis is based on a 400 MW electric power generating plant that uses turbines that are currently under development by a U.S. turbine manufacturer. The high-pressure turbine operates at a temperature of 1089 K (1500°F) with uncooled blades, the intermediate-pressure turbine operates at 1478 K (2200°F) with cooled blades and the low-pressure turbine operates at 998 K (1336°F). The power plant has a net thermal efficiency of 46.5%. This efficiency is based on the lower heating value of methane, and includes the energy necessary for air separation and for carbon dioxide separation and sequestration.

Tests were conducted at pressures of up to 100 psia (690 kPa), and a typical inlet air temperature of 860°F (733 K). The emissions and RMS pressures were documented for a relatively wide range of flame temperature from 2440-3090°F (1610-1970 K) with and without added humidity. The results show more than 90% reduction of NOx through 10% humidity addition to the compressed air compared with the dry case at the same flame temperature. The substantial reduction of NOx is due to a shift in the chemical mechanisms and cannot be explained by flame temperature reduction due to added moisture since the comparison was made for the same flame temperature.

Following that, a recently developed two-parameter yield/failure criterion is compared with the historical efforts and it is further interpreted and extended. Specifically, the yield/failure criterion is combined with a fracture restriction that places limits on certain tensile stress states, without involving any additional parameters. An evaluation is conducted using available experimental data obtained from a variety of materials types. The two materials parameters are given a primary designation as yield type properties over a specified range of ductile behavior, and as failure or fracture type properties over the complementary brittle range.

However, averting these health damages by investing in clean energy and industrial technologies and measures can be expensive. Many cities do not have the capital to make such investments or may prefer to invest that capital elsewhere. In this article, we examine the city of Shanghai, China, and perform an illustrative cost/benefit analysis of air pollution control. Between 1995 and 2020 we expect that Shanghai will continue to grow rapidly. Increased demands for energy will cause increased use of fossil fuels and increased emissions of air pollutants. In this work, we examine emissions of particles smaller than 10 μm in diameter (PM10), which have been associated with inhalation health effects. We hypothesize the establishment of a new technology strategy for coal-fired power generation after 2010 and a new industrial coal-use policy. The health benefits of pollution reduction are compared with the investment costs for the new strategies. The study shows that the benefit-to-cost ratio is in the range of 1–5 for the power-sector initiative and 2–15 for the industrial-sector initiative. Thus, there appear to be considerable net benefits for these strategies, which could be very large depending on the valuation of health effects in China today and in the future. This study therefore provides economic grounds for supporting investments in air pollution control in developing cities like Shanghai.

JO - Journal of Exposure Analysis & Environmental Epidemiology JF - Journal of Exposure Analysis & Environmental Epidemiology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 44 EP - 59 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 10534245 AB - Recent state and federal public school class-size reduction initiatives, increased elementary and pre-K enrollment driven by population growth and immigration, and limited resources for capital projects, modernization, and maintenance at aging schools have increased the prevalence of prefabricated, portable classrooms (portables). At present, approximately one of three California students are taught in portables, whose use is especially prevalent in more populated counties such as Los Angeles, home to the nation's second largest school district. Limited data existed on chemical compound air concentrations, and thus exposures, inside American public schools. Measurements have been limited, usually performed in complaint schools, and varied in sampling protocols and analysis methods. To address a school environment and children's health issue of present concern, an assessment of public school portables was conducted in Los Angeles County. Seven schools in two school districts were recruited, from which 20 classrooms - 13 portables, seven in main buildings - were randomly selected. We report indoor air concentrations of 21 target toxic and odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, measured with passive samplers (DNSH PAKS and 3M OVM 3500) in the cooling and heating seasons between June 2000 and June 2001. None of the measured indoor air formaldehyde concentrations exceeded the existing California Air Resources Board guideline (50?ppb, or 60?µg/m3). The main sources of aldehydes in classrooms, especially portables, were likely interior finish materials and furnishings made of particleboard without lamination. Indoor air VOC concentrations were generally low in this pilot study. The four most prevalent VOCs measured were toluene, m-/p-xylene, a-pinene, and d-limonene; likely indoor sources were personal, teaching, and cleaning products. Future schools research should attempt larger samples over larger geographical areas.Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology (2004) 14, 44-59. doi:10.1038/sj.jea.7500297 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Exposure Analysis & Environmental Epidemiology is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

However, little information exists on the atmospheric source-to-dietary intake linkage for SVOCs. Because of higher SVOC emissions to urban regions, this linkage is particularly important for foods that are grown, distributed and consumed in or near urban regions. The food pathway can also contribute to dietary exposure for populations that are remote from a pollutant source if the pollutants can migrate to agricultural regions and subsequently to the agricultural commodities distributed to that population. We use available data, the characteristic travel distance, and the CalTOX multimedia model framework to assess the contribution of local sources of food to cumulative SVOC intake. Based on published concentration data for foods, our exposure calculations indicate that the potential intake through ingestion can be up to 1000 times that of inhalation for certain persistent SVOCs. We use the population-based intake fraction (iF) to determine how SVOC intake can vary among food commodities and exposure pathways, and to determine the contribution of airborne emitted SVOCs to the diet in the Northern Hemisphere. We focus on three representative multimedia SVOCs-benzo(a)pyrene, fluoranthene, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. The approach presented here provides a useful framework and starting point for source-to-intake assessments for the ambient air-to-dietary exposure pathway.Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology (2004) 14, 60-73. doi:10.1038/sj.jea.7500306 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Exposure Analysis & Environmental Epidemiology is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The assay uses microspheres of two sizes, each coupled to an influenza type A- or type B-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb), to capture influenza viruses in the sample. A cocktail of fluorescently labeled, influenza-specific polyclonal antibodies then binds the captured viruses. The sandwich complexes are measured using a multiparameter flow cytometer. The assay can distinguish between influenza types A and B in a single reaction with good reproducibility and high sensitivity. Detection sensitivity is much higher than that of commercially available influenza diagnosis quick kits: the FLU OIA (Thermo Biostar) kit and the Directigen Flu A+B kit (Becton Dickinson). The multiplexing capabilities of the current assay, which are not possible with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the commercially available kits, reduce sample handling and consume fewer costly reagents. This assay represents a more efficient and sensitive method of characterizing influenza types. With inclusion of influenza subtype-specific antibodies as capture antibodies, this microsphere-based immunoassay can be expanded to differentiate among influenza types and subtypes in a single reaction to improve world-wide influenza surveillance.

It has been found that the thermal stability is significantly improved with 1.5 at% Nb substitution. As compared with the ternary Nd12Fe82B6, the Nb-substituted Nd12Fe80.5Nb1.5B6 powder exhibits remarkably increased coercivity (Hci) over a wide temperature range of 22–180°C. The temperature coefficient of coercivity (β) is reduced from −0.36%/°C at x=0 to −0.32%/°C at x=1.5. As a result of improved coercivity and its temperature dependence, the irreversible flux aging loss (δirr), measured on the epoxy bonded magnets after being exposed at 180°C for 100 h, is also significantly decreased from −13.7% at x=0 to −5.0% with x=1.5. Microstructure studies using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy have shown a significant microstructure refinement with Nb substitution. Nb substitution also increases the amount of α-Fe phase in the alloys. For x=0, the average grain size of the magnetically soft phase (α-Fe) is 15 nm, while the hard phase (Nd2Fe14B) has an average grain size of 30 nm. The soft and hard magnetically phases are reduced to <10 and 10–20 nm, respectively for x=1.5 and 3. Enriched Nb along the grain boundaries is believed to be the main reason for the observed improved thermal stability in Nb-substituted powders.

The present world summarizes the use of spatially-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction to quantify the residual stresses, residual elastic Poisson strain, and plastic stain of simulated FOD in a Ti-6A1-4V alloy. A 300 × 300 µm low-divergence synchrotron source provides adequate spatial resolution for the interrogation of impact craters 2-6 mm in diameter, while still sampling a sufficient number of grains for monochromatic polycrystalline diffraction experiments. The observed residual stresses are compared to continuum-based numerical predictions. Roth the formation of microcracks at high impact velocities (300 m/s), and the Bauschinger-induced fatigue relaxation of the initial residual stresses must be taken into account to adequately address the driving force for fatigue failure.

A study of 316LN stainless steel shows that in the early stage of fatigue life, grain-orientation dependent intergranular stresses develop quickly and oscillate between two extreme states corresponding to the ends of a tensile or compressive half loading cycle. In the late stage, the intergranular strains vanish for tests ending in tension and remain relatively unchanged for tests ending in compression, which points to the difference in plastic behaviors during tensile and compressive loadings.

Time-of-flight diffraction enabled the measurement of strain for all the available reflections permitted by the rolling texture of the plate and its modification in the weld (melted) and heat-affected zones. Reference lattice spacings were measured on coupons cut from an adjacent section of the weld. A maximum longitudinal stress of 220 ± 40 MPa was observed along the weld centre line, compared with the plate 0.2% proof stress of 390 MPa. A maximum transverse stress of 60 ± 40 MPa was observed on the weld centre-line falling to zero at the edge of the plate.

Gadolinium-induced phase separation in the glasses can be consistently explained by proposing that Gd cations partition to the borate-rich environments and subsequent agglomeration of the Gd–borate moieties, or short-range ordered structural groups, in the glass. Agglomeration of the Gd–borate rich environments is further discussed within the context of excess metal oxides, [Na2O]ex or [Al2O3]ex=|Na2O–Al2O3|, and excess B2O3, [B2O3]ex, available for incorporating Gd cations. Results showed that agglomeration of the Gd–borate rich environments occurred at a much lower Gd2O3 concentration in the glass without [Na2O]ex or [Al2O3]ex and at a significantly higher Gd2O3 concentration in the glass with either [Na2O]ex or [Al2O3]ex. Assuming 1BO4:1Gd:2BO3 (based on literature-reported Gd–metaborate structure) as a local Gd–borate environment in glass, we introduced the saturation index of boron, SI[B]=Gd2O3/(1/3[B2O3]ex), to examine the glass susceptibility to Gd-induced phase separation for all three alkali-aluminoborosilicate systems. While our results have provided some insight to the glass structure, they also provide insight to the mechanism by which the metal oxide is dissolved into the melt. This appears to occur predominately through boron complexation of the metal oxide.

The nano-crystalline silicon model consists of a heterogeneous dispersion of nano-crystallites in an amorphous silicon matrix. An excess H-density occurs at the nano-crystallite surface. Simulations find a low temperature evolution peak at 250–400 °C, where the H-evolution occurs from the surface of the nano-crystallite. In addition there is a higher temperature peak at 700–800 °C. The two-peak feature agrees with H-evolution measurements of H-diluted a-Si:H grown near the phase boundary of crystalline growth. We find that H is released into mobile molecular and bond-centered like configurations.

SN - 09388974 AB - This article is concerned with the asymptotic accuracy of the Computational Singular Perturbation (CSP) method developed by Lam and Goussis [The CSP method for simplifying kinetics, Int. J. Chem. Kin. 26 (1994) 461–486] to reduce the dimensionality of a system of chemical kinetics equations. The method, which is generally applicable to multiple-time scale problems arising in a broad array of scientific disciplines, exploits the presence of disparate time scales to model the dynamics by an evolution equation on a lower-dimensional slow manifold. In this article it is shown that the successive applications of the CSP algorithm generate, order by order, the asymptotic expansion of a slow manifold. The results are illustrated on the Michaelis–Menten–Henri equations of enzyme kinetics.

Micro-beam X-ray diffraction was used along with transmitted light optical microscopy to obtain information about the structure of these oxides as a function of distance from the oxide–metal interface. Optical microscopy revealed a layered oxide structure in which the average layer thickness was inversely proportional to the post-transition corrosion rate. The detailed diffraction studies showed an oxide that contained both tetragonal and monoclinic ZrO2, with a higher fraction of tetragonal oxide near the oxide–metal interface, in a region roughly corresponding to one oxide layer. Evidence was seen also of a cyclic variation of the tetragonal and monoclinic oxide across the oxide thickness with a period of the layer thickness. The results also indicate that the final grain size of the tetragonal phase is smaller than that of the monoclinic phase and the monoclinic grain size is smaller in Zircaloy-4 and ZIRLO than in the other two alloys. These results are discussed in terms of a model of oxide growth based on the periodic breakdown and reconstitution of a protective layer.

The MEAM potential is able to capture the most salient features of atomic volume and enthalpy of solid and liquid Pu metal as a function of temperature at zero pressure. The atomic volume difference between monoclinic (α-phase) and fcc (δ-phase) was captured nearly quantitatively. From molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we find that Pu, under these conditions, has an approximately 10 eV minimum displacement threshold energy, very low compared to most other fcc metals, and shows less crystallographic anisotropy in this minimum. At 0 K, the constant volume cell relaxes to a rhombohedrally distorted structure, which is connected to the low minimum displacement threshold energy. Split interstitials orient themselves in a 〈1 0 0〉 direction and migrate over a 0.056 eV barrier. Mono-vacancies migrate over a 0.84–1.00 eV barrier.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 108 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 25 EP - 31 SN - 10895639 AB - Ultrafast relaxation dynamics for photoexcited PAH cations isolated in boric acid glass have been studied using femtosecond and picosecond transient grating spectroscopy. With the exception of perylene+, the recovery kinetics for the ground doublet (D0) states of these radical cations are biexponential, containing fast (<200 fs) and slow (3-20 ps) components. No temperature dependence or isotope effect was observed for the fast component, whereas the slow component exhibits both the H/D isotope effect (1.1-1.3) and a strong temperature dependence (15 to 300 K). We suggest that the fast component is due to internal Dn to D0 conversion and that the slow component is due to vibrational energy transfer (VET) from a hot D0 state to the glass matrix. The observed rapid, efficient deactivation of the photoexcited PAH cations accounts for their remarkable photostability and has important implications for astrochemistry because these cations are the leading candidates for the species responsible for the diffuse interstellar bands (DIB) observed throughout the galaxy.

Three distinct U3+ sites were observed. For the principal site, which was attributed to a symmetric dimer center, 45 crystal-field energy levels in the 0-13250 cm-1 energy range were assigned. These experimentally determined levels were fitted to thirteen parameters of a semiempirical Hamiltonian representing the combined atomic, one-electron crystal field as well as two-particle correlation crystal-field (CCF) operators, with an rms deviation of 41 cm-1. Above 14000 cm-1 strong electric-dipole allowed 5f3-5f26d1 transitions were observed. The lifetime of the 4G7/2 fluorescing level has been measured for each of the three U3+ sites at liquid-helium temperatures and are 2.5, 4.3, and 7.6 μs. The emission is strongly influenced by temperature due to strong phonon coupling of the 5f3 states with the nearby 5f26d1 states. Visible upconversion fluorescence observed when pumping the 4I9/2 - (4F7/2 + 4I15/2) absorption transitions of the principal site A is attributed to excited-state absorption (ESA).

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 108 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 239 EP - 249 SN - 15206106 AB - First principles calculations based on spin-polarized density functional theory and the generalized gradient approximation have been used to study the interaction of atomic and molecular hydrogen and sulfur species with bare and Ni modified MoS2(0001). The calculations employ slab geometries and periodic boundary conditions. Our calculations indicate that H2 can be adsorbed on this surface only when sulfur defect sites are present. In this case a dissociative chemisorption process with an activation barrier of about 22 kcal/mol has been identified. Adsorption of atomic hydrogen is possible on the nondefective surface with binding energies in the range 8-16 kcal/mol. On the sulfur defective surface, the binding energy of atomic hydrogen increases to 62.2 kcal/mol. Similarly, S atoms can adsorb on the bare surface with adsorption energies in the range 33-42 kcal/mol depending on the surface coverage. For the surface with preadsorbed Ni atoms, these atoms can serve as adsorption centers for both Hx and Sx (x = 1,2) species. Additionally, they can assist dissociation of H2 molecules. As a result of hydrogenation or sulfiding, the interaction of Ni adatoms with the surface decreases by as much as 50% relative to the case of bare Ni atoms. In turn, this leads to a decrease of the diffusion barriers of Ni-H and Ni-Sx (x = 1,2) complexes relative to the case of bare Ni atoms.

However, current efforts lag at defining the cis-regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal patterns of each gene's expression. This task remains difficult due to our lack of knowledge of the vocabulary controlling gene regulation and the vast genomic search space, with greater than 95% of our genome being noncoding. Recent comparative genomic-based strategies are beginning to aid in the identification of functional sequences based on their high levels of evolutionary conservation. This has proven successful for comparisons between closely related species such as human-primate or human-mouse, but also holds true for distant evolutionary comparisons, such as human-fish or human-bird. In this review we provide support for the utility of cross-species sequence comparisons by illustrating several applications of this strategy, including the identification of new genes and functional non-coding sequences. We also discuss emerging concepts as this field matures, such as how to properly select which species for comparison, which may differ significantly between independent studies.

La2Ca2MnO7 (1), crystallizing in the space group R3¯m with the lattice constants a=5.62231(7) A˚ and c=17.3192(4) A˚, contains almost ideal close packed [LnO3] arrays. While for the smaller rare earth cations, e.g., Nd2Ca2MnO7 (2) and Sm2Ca2MnO7 (3), the structure distorts to large unit cell (R3¯, a′=2a and c′=c). Study of the substituted systems, LnLn′Ca2MnO7 (Ln or Ln′=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) and La2−xSmxCa2MnO7, shows a phase transformation from (1) to (2) at certain value of cation size. The MnO6 octahedra in these compounds are isolated, thus the magnetic property is mainly paramagnetic.

X-ray and neutron diffraction suggest that the structure is tetragonal with a disordered distribution of Li and Mn cations over the octahedral sites, but 6Li MAS NMR shows that the Li and Mn are 1:1 ordered locally. Electron microscopy shows that the stacking of the cation-ordered, perovskite-like bilayers along the crystallographic z-axis is disordered on the distance scale sampled by X-ray and neutron diffraction. Magnetometry data and neutron diffraction data collected at 2 K together suggest that the Mn cations within each structural domain order antiferromagnetically at 14 K, but that the disorder along z prevents the establishment of long-range magnetic order.

It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcm with Z=12 and lattice parameters a=12.6340(7) A˚, b=6.2037(3) A˚, and c=18.3698(9) A˚ at 193 K. Its structure consists of buckled square nets of Sb atoms and layers of highly distorted edge- and face-sharing NiSb6 octahedra. Located between the ∞2[Sb] and ∞2[NiSb2] layers are the Ce atoms, in monocapped square antiprismatic coordination. There is an extensive network of Sb–Sb bonding with distances varying between 3.0 and 3.4 A˚. The structure is related to that of RECrSb3 but with a different stacking of the metal-centered octahedra. Resistivity measurements reveal a shallow minimum near 25 K that is suggestive of Kondo lattice behavior, followed by a sharp decrease below 6 K.

Using finite-size-scaling analysis, we demonstrate a crossover from Ising to mean-field behavior at the critical point, with increasing surface mobility of adsorbed CO or with decreasing system size. This behavior is elucidated by analogy with that of equilibrium Ising-type systems with long-range interactions.

JO - Journal of Structural Biology JF - Journal of Structural Biology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 145 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 15 SN - 10478477 AB - A current trend in single-particle electron microscopy is to compute three-dimensional reconstructions with ever-increasing numbers of particles in the data sets. Since manual—or even semi-automated—selection of particles represents a major bottleneck when the data set exceeds several thousand particles, there is growing interest in developing automatic methods for selecting images of individual particles. Except in special cases, however, it has proven difficult to achieve the degree of efficiency and reliability that would make fully automated particle selection a useful tool. The simplest methods such as cross correlation (i.e., matched filtering) do not perform well enough to be used for fully automated particle selection. Geometric properties (area, perimeter-to-area ratio, etc.) and the integrated “mass” of candidate particles are additional factors that could improve automated particle selection if suitable methods of contouring particles could be developed. Another suggestion is that data be always collected as pairs of images, the first taken at low defocus (to capture information at the highest possible resolution) and the second at very high defocus (to improve the visibility of the particle). Finally, it is emphasized that well-annotated, open-access data sets need to be established in order to encourage the further development and validation of methods for automated particle selection.

JO - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Air & Waste Management Association) JF - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Air & Waste Management Association) Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 54 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 105 EP - 110 PB - Air & Waste Management Association SN - 10962247 AB - The use of sorbents has been proposed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in ambient air at concentrations in the parts-per-billion (ppb) range, which is typical of indoor air quality applications. Sorbent materials, such as granular activated carbon and molecular sieves, are used to remove VOCs from gas streams in industrial applications, where VOC concentrations are typically in the parts-per-million range. A method for evaluating the VOC removal performance of sorbent materials using toluene concentrations in the ppb range is described. Breakthrough times for toluene at concentrations from 2 to 7500 ppb are presented for a hydrophobic molecular sieve at 25% relative humidity. By increasing the ratio of challenge gas flow rate to the mass of the sorbent bed and decreasing both the mass of sorbent in the bed and the sorbent particle size, this method reduces the required experimental times by a factor of up to several hundred compared with the proposed American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers method, ASHRAE 145P, making sorbent performance evaluation for ppb-range VOC removal more convenient. The method can be applied to screen sorbent materials for application in the removal of VOCs from indoor air.

Conventional scanning electron microscopic analysis with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDXS) did not detect any reaction products at the interface. Automated X-ray spectral image analysis of the interface region revealed small pockets of a phase containing Hf and O with a stoichiometry equivalent to HfO[sub 2]. Samples for transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis were cut to include specific HfO[sub 2] particles using focused ion beam (FIB) milling. TEM images showed that the particles were 10 to 100 nm in diameter and embedded in the alumina grains at the interface with the alloy. Based on the measured stoichiometry, electron diffraction analysis in the transmission electron microscope, and a standard Gibbs energy of reaction of ΔG° = -203.3 kJ at 1300 K for the reaction 3Hf + 2Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] → 3HfO[sub 2] + 4Al, the particles are judged to be HfO[sub 2] that formed from simple redox reaction between Hf and Al[sub 2]O[sub 3].

Fatigue-crack growth properties for both long and short (Δa[sub f] < 2 mm) cracks emanating from machined notches (root radius, ρ ∼ 15-150 µm) were investigated, where δa[sub f] is the extension of the fatigue crack from the notch. Growth rates (da/dN) were far higher at the same applied stress-intensity range (ΔK) and fatigue thresholds, ΔK[sub TH], were markedly lower for short cracks than for corresponding long cracks. Crack extension was measured at the lowest driving forces for short cracks emanating from razor micronotches with ρ ≈ 15 µm. For growth rates <10[sup -8] m/cycle, da/dN vs ΔK curves for short cracks merged with the demonstrably steady-state curve for long cracks after ∼2 mm of crack extension. This length corresponds well to the extent of the measured crack-bridging zone for a near-threshold steady-state fatigue crack. For da/dN > 10[sup -8] m/cycle, however, non-steady-state behavior was observed at all crack sizes, indicating that achieving steady state at each AK level is difficult. The crack-tip shielding contribution due to such grain bridging was determined using both direct compliance and the more accurate multi-cutting/ crack-opening profile techniques. Bridging stress-intensity factors were computed and subtracted from the applied stress intensities to estimate an effective (near-tip) driving force, ΔK[sub eff]. These results provided (i) a lower threshold (in terms of ΔK[sub eff]) below which both long and short fatigue cracks should not propagate, and (ii) an estimate of the intrinsic toughness, K[sub 0], for the start of the R-curve. Such results quantitatively affirm that the reduced role of grain bridging is a primary source of the transient behavior of short cracks in grainbridging alumina-based ceramics under cyclic loading.

This same problem exists in a biological system. How can information required for the proper functioning of a cell, an organism, or a species be transmitted in an error introducing environment? Source codes (compression codes) and channel codes (error-correcting codes) address this problem in engineering communication systems. The ability to extend these information theory concepts to study information transmission in biological systems can contribute to the general understanding of biological communication mechanisms and extend the field of coding theory into the biological domain. In this work, we review and compare existing coding theoretic methods for modeling genetic systems. We introduce a new error-correcting code framework for understanding translation initiation, at the cellular level and present research results for Escherichia coli K-12. By studying translation initiation, we hope to gain insight into potential error-correcting aspects of genomic sequences and systems.

Biosignatures have analogous properties. A biosignature can be associated with a particular attribute of a pathogen or a host. However, the signature may be lost in backgrounds of similar or even identical signals from other sources. In this paper, we highlight statistical and signal processing challenges associated with identifying good biosignatures for pathogens in host and other environments. In some cases, it may be possible to identify useful signatures of pathogens through indirect but amplified signals from the host. Discovery of these signatures requires new approaches to modeling and data interpretation. Finally, an understanding of pathways (or gene networks) that are modified through host–pathogen interactions will result in better detectors as well as opportunities in vaccines and therapeutics.

Measurements for insulations with known amounts of fire retardant chemical showed a negligible effect of the fire retardant on the thermal resistivity of the insulation. The test data show that the U.S.-made loose-fill cellulose that was studied had a 5% greater thermal resistivity than the Korean-made product.

JO - Lipids in Health & Disease JF - Lipids in Health & Disease Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - BioMed Central SN - 1476511X AB - Background: The Lp(a) lipoprotein (Lp(a)) consists of the polymorphic glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)), which is attached by a disulfide bond to apolipoprotein B (apoB). Apo(a), which has high homology with plasminogen, is present only in primates and hedgehogs. However, transgenic mice and rabbits with high serum apo(a) levels exist. Liver is the main site for apo(a) synthesis, but the site of removal is uncertain. To examine differences between transgenic mice expressing the LPA gene and mice capable of forming Lp(a) particles, LPA-YAC transgenic mice and hAPOB transgenic mice were crossed and their offspring examined. Results: Comparison of LPA-YAC with LPA-YAC/hAPOB transgenic mice showed that LPA-YAC/hAPOB transgenic mice have higher serum total apo(a) and total cholesterol level than mice lacking the hAPOB gene. However, hepatic apo(a) mRNA level was higher in LPA-YAC transgenic mice than in LPA-YAC/hAPOB transgenic mice. Feeding of a high-cholesterol/high-fat diet to male LPA-YAC transgenic mice with or without the hAPOB gene resulted in reduced serum total apo(a) and hepatic apo(a) mRNA level. Conclusion: In conclusion, the higher serum total apo(a) level in LPA-YAC/hAPOB transgenic mice than in LPA-YAC transgenic mice is not caused by increased apo(a) synthesis. Lower hepatic apo(a) mRNA level in LPA-YAC/hAPOB than in LPA-YAC transgenic mice may suggest that the increase in total apo(a) level is a result of apo(a) accumulation in serum. Furthermore, observed higher serum total cholesterol level in LPA-YAC/hAPOB transgenic mice than either in wild type or LPA-YAC transgenic mice may further suggest that human APOB transgenicity is a factor that contributes to increased serum total apo(a) and cholesterol levels. Our results on reduced serum total apo(a) and hepatic apo(a) mRNA levels in HCHF fed male LPA-YAC transgenic mice confirm earlier findings in females, and show that there are no sex difference in mechanisms for lowering apo(a) level in response to HCHF feeding.

In this study, we have investigated the primary perovskites as well as the secondary phases formed in terms of doping content changes and A/B ratio variations in these materials. Fifteen powder compositions (three doping levels, X=Y=0, 0.1, and 0.2 mol; and five A/B ratios 0.95, 0.98, 1.00, 1.02, and 1.05) were synthesized by the glycine-nitrate combustion process (GNP). These powders were equilibrated by calcining at 1500 °C for 9 h prior to crystalline phase characterization by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). From the results of this study and the available phase diagrams in the literature on constituent binary oxide systems, we propose a crystalline phase diagram of the La2O3–SrO–Ga2O3–MgO quaternary system at elevated temperature (1500 °C).

T1 - Fatigue of polycrystalline silicon for microelectromechanical system applications: crack growth and stability under resonant loading conditions JO - Mechanics of Materials JF - Mechanics of Materials Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 36 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 13 SN - 01676636 SN - 9780077221409 AB - Although bulk silicon is not known to exhibit susceptibility to cyclic fatigue, micron-scale structures made from silicon films are known to be vulnerable to degradation by fatigue in ambient air environments, a phenomenon that has been recently modeled in terms of a mechanism of sequential oxidation and stress-corrosion cracking of the native oxide layer. To date, most stress-life (S/N) fatigue tests on such silicon films have been conducted using resonant-loaded specimens. Consequently, there is a need to establish the interaction between the dynamic loading and the driving force for fatigue-crack growth. In this paper, finite element models are used to establish the relationship between natural frequency, specimen compliance, and linear-elastic stress–intensity factor for a commonly used micron-scale, micromechanical fatigue characterization structure. These results are then incorporated into a general, lumped parameter model to evaluate the stability of fatigue cracks in resonant-loaded structures. It is well known that the applied stress amplitude and corresponding driving force for crack advance depend on the system damping, as well as sample geometry. Consequently, changes in damping caused by cycling in different environments can have a significant mechanical effect on the stability of fatigue cracks. In the case of the fatigue characterization structure used by the authors, the models show that tests conducted at atmospheric pressure subject cracks to a monotonically increasing driving force for crack advance. However, when the damping in the system is reduced (e.g., by testing in vacuo) fatigue cracks may arrest, independent of environmental effects on crack growth. Therefore, testing of structures loaded in resonance at a fixed natural frequency in vacuum should not be considered equivalent to an “inert” atmosphere. Finally, the finite element models are applied to polycrystalline silicon structural films to determine the critical crack lengths (∼5.5–66 nm) and an average fracture toughness (∼0.85 MPa m) from specimens subjected to fatigue cycling at stress amplitudes ranging from ∼2.2 to 3.5 GPa.

Crack-growth experiments were conducted on sandwich specimens consisting of 99.999% pure aluminum layers bonded between 99.5% pure polycrystalline alumina with the metal layer thickness varying from 5 to 100 μm. Under cyclic loading, crack growth occurred primarily at the interface separating the two materials; additionally, stable fatigue cracks deviated into the alumina for thin-layered samples at high driving forces. Under monotonically increasing loads, the fracture toughness increased with Al layer thickness, whereas under cyclic loads the threshold driving force for crack growth conversely decreased with increasing layer thickness. Under static loading in a moist environment, interfacial crack growth was never observed at measurable rates (⩾10−9 m/s) for driving forces up to 200 J/m2; however, for thin-layered samples, subcritical cracks did deviate off the interface and grow, sometimes stably, into the alumina. Trends in crack-growth rates and crack trajectories are examined in terms of the level of constraint, loading conditions and environmental influences.

The change of temperature during fatigue, which was due to the thermal-elastic–plastic effect, was utilized to reveal the accumulation of fatigue damage. A constitutive model was developed for predicting the thermal and mechanical responses of ULTIMET alloy subjected to cyclic deformation. The model was constructed in light of internal state variables, which were developed to characterize the inelastic strain of the material during cyclic loading. The predicted stress–strain and temperature responses were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

It was noted that in most cases, increasing the temperature from 24 to 982 °C significantly decreased the fatigue lives. The alloy exhibited the cyclic hardening, softening, or stable cyclic stress response, which was dependent on the temperature and total strain range. Dynamic-strain aging was found to occur at both temperatures of 761 and 871 °C. The precipitation of secondary-phase particles was also observed above 761°C. The change in the microstructure due to cyclic deformation was evaluated through scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, an advanced infrared thermography system was employed to monitor the temperature evolution during fatigue at 24 °C. It was noted that during low-cycle fatigue, the steady-state temperature of the specimens increased from 2 to 120 °C above room temperature, depending on the strain range and fatigue life. Thus, the measured temperature can be used to predict fatigue life. A model based on energy conservation and one-dimensional heat conduction was used to predict the temperature evolution resulting from low-cycle fatigue.

The original papers collected in the proceedings of the symposia reflect the development of ideas, equipment, and methods, plus results obtained in the area. The spectrum of themes discussed at the symposia is broad. More than 60% of the papers were devoted to the role of SODARs in atmospheric boundary-layer research. This paper presents an overview of the development of SODAR technique as elucidated in the proceedings of 11 ISARS symposia. Topics include (1) instrumentation, (2) methods of measuring different meteorological quantities and their turbulence characteristics, and (3) validating the methods by comparison of SODAR data with in situ measurements.

SN - 01777971 AB - Application of acoustic sounders (SODARs) to study the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) began in the early 1970s. During the last two decades the scope of SODARs applications enlarged considerably. The proceedings of eleven symposia of the International Society for Remote Acoustic Sensing of the Atmosphere and Oceans (ISARS) are a unique collection of papers, where all directions of the SODAR use since 1981 are presented. In this paper, a review of SODAR applications to atmospheric research is presented based on materials published in these proceedings in the following fields: conditions of microwave and light propagation; regional climatology of the ABL; air pollution meteorology and weather forecast; mesoscale phenomena under stable and unstable stratification; micro- meteorology; peculiarities of the ABL in remote and complex terrain.

SN - 01777971 AB - A combination of low frequency SODAR, RADAR wind profiler and in-situ balloon-borne measurements of temperature and water vapor have been used to investigate the structure of elevated stratified layers within the transition layer above the nocturnal boundary layer during the Vertical Transport and Mixing Field Campaign in Salt Lake City Utah, during October, 2000. Elevated layers determined from SODAR and RADAR vertical time sections were penetrated with a balloon-born instrument package to determine the fine scale temperature and moisture structure of the layers. As expected a potential temperature increase was found in the upper half of the layers; however the magnitude was considerably smaller than found above the daytime well-mixed layer and the vertical distance of the increase was quite variable. Mixing ratio, in the mean was found to have a relative maximum in the lower portion of the layers. It was found that the potential temperature within the layers decreased with time relative to background values, regardless of whether the layer descended or ascended.

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 47 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 80 EP - 86 SN - 00953628 AB - Previous studies have shown that sulfate-reduction activity occurs in a heterogeneous manner throughout the terrestrial subsurface. Low-activity regions are often observed in the presence of clay minerals. Here we report that clays inhibit sulfate reduction activity in sediments and in a pure culture of Desulfovibriovulgaris. Clay minerals including bentonite and kaolinite inhibited sulfate reduction by 70–90% in sediments. Intact clays and clay colloids or soluble components, capable of passing through a 0.2-µm filter, were also inhibitory to sulfate-reducing bacteria. Other adsorbent materials, including anion or cation exchangers and a zeolite, did not inhibit sulfate reduction in sediments, suggesting that the effect of clays was not due to their cation-exchange capacity. We observed a strong correlation between the Al2O3 content of clays and their relative ability to inhibit sulfate reduction in sediments (r2 = 0.82). This suggested that inhibition might be a direct effect of Al3+ (aq) on the bacteria. We then tested pure aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and showed it to act in a similar manner to clay. As dissolved aluminum is known to be toxic to a variety of organisms at low concentrations, our results suggest that the effects of clay on sulfate-reducing bacteria may be directly due to aluminum. Thus, our experiments provide an explanation for the lack of sulfate-reduction activity in clay-rich regions and presents a mechanism for the effect.

In the BFGCI process, granular coal (10%-30% through a 200-mesh screen) is injected into a blast furnace as a fuel supplement to decrease coke requirements, thus reducing costs. Tests run to determine the effect of process variables on furnace operations showed that granular coal works as well as pulverized coal and is easier to handle and cheaper to produce because of reduced grinding costs.

JO - Molecular Cancer JF - Molecular Cancer Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14764598 AB - Background: The agouti protein is a paracrine factor that is normally present in the skin of many species of mammals. Agouti regulates the switch between black and yellow hair pigmentation by signalling through the melanocortin I receptor (McIr) on melanocytes. Lethal yellow (Ay) and viable yellow (Avy) are dominant regulatory mutations in the mouse agouti gene that cause the wild-type protein to be produced at abnormally high levels throughout the body. Mice harboring these mutations exhibit a pleiotropic syndrome characterized by yellow coat color, obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and increased susceptibility to hyperplasia and carcinogenesis in numerous tissues, including the liver. The goal of this research was to determine if ectopic expression of the agouti gene in the liver alone is sufficient to recapitulate any aspect of this syndrome. For this purpose, we generated lines of transgenic mice expressing high levels of agouti in the liver under the regulatory control of the albumin promoter. Expression levels of the agouti transgene in the liver were quantified by Northern blot analysis. Functional agouti protein in the liver of transgenic mice was assayed by its ability to inhibit binding of the α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH) to the McIr. Body weight, plasma insulin and blood glucose levels were analyzed in control and transgenic mice. Control and transgenic male mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection (10 mg/kg) of the hepatocellular carcinogen, diethylnitrosamine (DEN), at 15 days of age. Mice were euthanized at 36 or 40 weeks after DEN injection and the number of tumors per liver and total liver weights were recorded. Results: The albumin-agouti transgene was expressed at high levels in the livers of mice and produced a functional agouti protein. Albumin-agouti transgenic mice had normal body weights and normal levels of blood glucose and plasma insulin, but responded to chemical initiation of the liver with an increased number of liver tumors compared to non-transgenic control mice. Conclusions: The data demonstrate that liver-specific expression of the agouti gene is not sufficient to induce obesity or diabetes, but, in the absence of these factors, agouti continues to promote hepatocellular carcinogenesis.

All three systems show one dominant accretion region, which is seen for approximately half the orbital cycle. GG Leo shows a strong dip feature in its X-ray and ultraviolet (UV) light curves, which is due to absorption of X-rays from the accretion site by the accretion stream. The emission in the case of EU UMa is dominated by soft X-rays: its soft/hard X-ray ratio is amongst the highest seen in these objects. In contrast, GG Leo and V347 Pav shows a ratio consistent with that predicted by the standard shock model. We infer the mass of the white dwarf and explore the effect of restricting the energy range on the derived parameters.

By locally modifying the surface charge density through a gate electrode, the ion concentration can be depleted under the gate and the ionic current can be significantly suppressed. It is proposed that this could form the basis of a unipolar ionic field-effect transistor.

It uses light, inorganic compounds, or organic compounds, for energy. It acquires carbon from many types of green plant-derived compounds or by carbon dioxide fixation, and it fixes nitrogen. Here we describe the genome sequence of R. palustris, which consists of a 5,459,213-base-pair (bp) circular chromosome with 4,836 predicted genes and a plasmid of 8,427 bp. The sequence reveals genes that confer a remarkably large number of options within a given type of metabolism, including three nitrogenases, five benzene ring cleavage pathways and four light harvesting 2 systems. R. palustris encodes 63 signal transduction histidine kinases and 79 response regulator receiver domains. Almost 15% of the genome is devoted to transport. This genome sequence is a starting point to use R. palustris as a model to explore how organisms integrate metabolic modules in response to environmental perturbations.

Three groups of postmenopausal women were studied, women taking estrogen (ERT+), women with breast cancer taking tamoxifen (TAM), and women not taking estrogen or tamoxifen (ERT−). All subjects received a PET scan, an MRI scan, and cognitive testing. The TAM group showed widespread areas of hypometabolism in the inferior and dorsal lateral frontal lobes relative to the other two groups. The ERT− group showed lower metabolism in the inferior frontal cortex and temporal cortex with respect to the ERT+ group. The TAM group also showed significantly lower semantic memory scores than the other two groups. Finally, the TAM group had smaller right hippocampal volumes than the ERT+ group, an effect that was of borderline significance. Both right and left hippocampal volumes were significantly smaller than the ERT+ group when a single outlier was removed. The ERT− group had hippocampal volumes that were intermediate to the other two groups. These findings provide physiological and anatomical evidence for neuroprotective effects of estrogen.

The pulse height tally is unique among the various tallies in MCNP. Unlike flux or current tallies, which are calculated as soon as the particle exits or collides in the cell, the entire set of tracks for a history must be completed before the pulse height tally can be made. The objective of this work was to verify the pulse height tally and prepare to verify the new MCNP 5 variance reduction features with the pulse height tally.In this paper, we give details to the analytic solution of the pulse height distribution using a modification to Shuttleworth’s fictitious elements, report MCNP 5 results for the pulse height tally, energy deposited and current tallies for the problem.

Solution reactors present a potential alternative to produce medical isotopes. The medical isotope production reactor concept has been proposed to produce medical isotopes with lower uranium consumption and waste than the corresponding fuel consumption and waste in heterogeneous reactors. Commercial production of medical isotopes in solution reactors requires steady-state operation at about 200 kW. At this power regime, fuel-solution temperature increase and radiolytic-gas bubble formation introduce a negative reactivity feedback that has to be mitigated. This work analyzes the reactivity effects on the operation of solution reactors for the production of medical isotopes and provides some reactor characteristics that may mitigate the negative reactivity feedback introduced by the increase in the fuel-solution temperature and the formation of radiolytic-gas bubbles.

This system can also be used with a small, portable, DT neutron generator to measure the attributes of highly enriched uranium (HEU): presence, fissile mass, enrichment, metal versus oxide; and detect the presence of high explosives (HE). For the passive system, time-dependent coincidence distributions can be used for the presence, fissile mass, metal versus oxide for Pu, 240/239 ratio, and gamma ray spectrometry can also be used for 240/239 ratio and presence, allowing presence and 240/239 ratio to be confirmed by two methods. For the active system with a DT neutron generator, all relevant attributes for both Pu and HEU can be determined from various features of the time-dependent coincidence distribution measurements. Active gamma ray spectrometry would determine the presence of HE. The various features of time-dependent coincidence distributions and gamma ray spectrometry that determine these attributes are discussed with some examples from previous determinations.

Reputable process knowledge may afford some insight but, absent such information, gamma spectroscopy and (non-destructive) prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) cover essentially all of the analytical needs, with the former addressing most radionuclides with the exception of the pure β−-emitters and the latter addressing the stable chemical constituents. This paper integrates both methods into a general analytical protocol based upon radioanalytical work performed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and PGAA work performed collaboratively by the various groups. A new LBNL-developed neutron generator is also discussed.

We discuss transverse momentum, mass, and rapidity distributions. The two photon-process of e+e− pair production is an important probe of strong field QED because of the large coupling Zα = 0.6. At √SNN=200 GeV, the e+e− production cross section agrees with lowest order QED calculations. The cross sections for coherent ϱ0 production at √SNN = 130 and 200 GeV are in agreement with theoretical predictions. The calculations for both, coherent e+e− and ϱ0 production treat nuclear excitation as independent process.

A sample chamber filled with aqueous solution and mounted on a piezoelectric transducer (PZT)-driven stage was used to produce flow-induced torque for rotating micro-objects. We demonstrated the scheme by rotating ellipsoidal yeast particles and a two-sphere system with 20 mW of laser power. Clockwise or counterclockwise rotation could be controlled by changing the initial angular position of the object trapped and by reversing the direction of PZT-driven stage. This mechanism has potential applications in microfabrication, biotechnology and fluidic technology.

Experimental evidence for such icosahedral building blocks has recently been found in liquid droplets of lead adjacent to a silicon wall and in deeply undercooled melts of metallic elements like bcc iron, fcc nickel and bcc zirconium. We have used molecular dynamics in order to investigate supercooling effects in the melt of another element (aluminum) on the basis of a common neighbour analysis. In the simulation, we have employed an embedded atom method potential optimized with the help of ab initio calculations for aluminum. The simulations confirm the recent experimental results that, independent of the system, the icosahedral short-range order strongly increases with the degree of undercooling.

This approach is robust. Results for all these different thermostats agree rather well for system widths of ten particle diameters or more. The simplest of the thermostats is the Gauss–Nose´–Hoover thermostat, based on kinetic-energy control. Higher moments of the particle momenta can be controlled by extensions of this idea involving as many as three additional thermostat variables. Generalizations of the deterministic thermostats suited to simulating “stochastic” and “Brownian” dynamics are discussed here too.

We use time-reversible nonequilibrium molecular dynamics, with two Nose´–Hoover thermostats, one hot and one cold, to study a family of square heat-conducting systems. We find a phase-space dimensionality loss which can exceed the dimensionality associated with the two driving Nose´–Hoover thermostats by as much as a factor of four. We also estimate the dimensionality loss ΔDH in the nonthermostated (Hamiltonian) part of phase-space. By measuring the projection of the total dimensionality loss there we show that nearly all of the loss occurs in the nonthermostated part. Thus this loss, which characterizes the extreme rarity of nonequilibrium states, persists in the large-system thermodynamic limit.

The perturbation associated with the maximum Lyapunov exponent is strongly localized in space, and only a small fraction of all particles contributes to the perturbation growth at any instant of time. This fraction converges to zero in the thermodynamic large-particle-number limit. For hard-disk and hard-sphere systems the perturbations belonging to the smallest of the non-vanishing exponents are coherently spread out and form orthogonal periodic structures in space, the “Lyapunov modes”. There are two types of mode polarizations, transverse and longitudinal. The transverse modes do not propagate, but the longitudinal modes do, with a speed about one third of the sound speed. We characterize the symmetry and the degeneracy of the modes. In the thermodynamic limit the Lyapunov spectrum has a diverging slope near the intersection with the abscissa. No positive lower bound exists for the positive exponents. The mode amplitude scales with the inverse square root of the particle number as expected from the normalization of the perturbation vectors.

It is shown that InN with the energy gap of 0.7 eV exhibits classical characteristics of a narrow gap semiconductor with strongly nonparabolic conduction band and an energy dependent electron effective mass. With the new discovery, the direct band gaps of the group III-nitride alloys span an extremely wide energy range from near infrared in InN to deep ultraviolet in AlN offering possibilities for new device applications of these materials. We also discuss properties of dilute group III-N–V alloys in which incorporation of a small amount of nitrogen results in a dramatic band gap reduction. All the unusual properties of the alloys are well described by a band anticrossing model that considers an interaction between localized nitrogen states and the extended states of the conduction band.

The magnetic properties were investigated by direct magnetization measurements, electrical transport, magnetic circular dichroism, and the magneto-optical Kerr effect. These data clearly indicate that In1−xMnxSb possesses all the attributes of a system with carrier-mediated FM interactions, including well-defined hysteresis loops, a cusp in the temperature dependence of the resistivity, strong negative magnetoresistance, and a large anomalous Hall effect. The Curie temperatures in samples investigated thus far range up to 8.5 K, which are consistent with a mean-field-theory simulation of the carrier-induced ferromagnetism based on the 8-band effective band-orbital method.

We make use of these properties to explore some aspects of electron spin in InSb quantum wells with far-infrared magneto-spectroscopy. We observe the clear signature of spin-resolved cyclotron resonance caused by the non-parabolicity of the conduction band. We observe avoided-level crossings at magnetic fields where Landau levels of the same spin are predicted to intersect. We also study electron spin resonance in the far infrared over a wide range of magnetic field. In samples with symmetrically designed quantum wells we find cyclotron masses and observed g-factors in good agreement with a Pidgeon–Brown analysis adapted to the two-dimensional band structure. However, the spin splitting approaches ∼3 meV as the magnetic field approaches zero in samples intentionally asymmetrically doped.

In this Letter, we discuss the extension of this program to hard photodisintegration of a pp pair in the 3He nucleus. Experimental confirmation of new features predicted here for the suggested reaction would advance our understanding of hard nuclear reactions. A main prediction, in contrast with low-energy observations, is that the pp breakup cross section is not much smaller than the one for pn break up. In some models, the energy-dependent oscillations observed for pp scattering are predicted to appear in the γ 3He→pp+n reaction. Such an observation would open up a completely new field in studies of color coherence phenomena in hard nuclear reactions. We also demonstrate that, in addition to the energy dependence, the measurement of the light-cone momentum distribution of the recoil neutron provides an independent test of the underlying dynamics of hard disintegration.

The results of the analysis reconcile the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of compressibility reported in the literature. It is shown that the growth rate n obtained for an inviscid, compressible flow in an infinite domain is bounded by the growth rates obtained for the corresponding incompressible flows with uniform and exponentially varying density. As the equilibrium pressure at the interface p[sub ∞] increases (less compressible flow), n increases towards the uniform density result, while as the ratio of specific heats γ increases (less compressible fluid), n decreases towards the exponentially varying density incompressible flow result. This remains valid in the presence of surface tension or for viscous fluids and the validity of the results is also discussed for finite size domains. The critical wavenumber imposed by the presence of surface tension is unaffected by compressibility. However, the results show that the surface tension modifies the sensitivity of the growth rate to a differential change in γ for the lower and upper fluids. For the viscous case, the linearized equations are solved numerically for different values of p[sub ∞] and γ. It is found that the largest differences compared with the incompressible cases are obtained at small Atwood numbers. The most unstable mode for the compressible case is also bounded by the most unstable modes corresponding to the two limiting incompressible cases. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Positive ions are trapped in the electron space charge within a shaped anode at the center of the beam. Electron reflexing of greater than 10[sup 6] circuits is observed, with a perveance several times that of earlier single pass devices. Classical slowing of the electron beams is observed. Two-stream instability is avoided because the emission limited space charge is subcritical. Trapped ions are observed in two modes of operation; a quiescent mode in which ions are directly counted after destroying the space charge configuration, and a rf mode in which the ion resonance instability is active. Ion inventory up to quasineutral conditions is implied for the quiescent trapping mode. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

For CHI plasmas, the Grad–Shafranov model ignores plasma inertia but not a perpendicular, or Grad–Shafranov, flow. The Grad–Shafranov flow is the result of the gradient of Grad–Shafranov potential across magnetic field lines, and is responsible for toroidal current drive. Numerical Grad–Shafranov solutions show that as the characteristic CHI discharge parameter, the normalized voltage V⁁≡μ[sub 0]V/ηB[sub 0]q[sub 0], becomes order of unity, CHI plasma develops kink-unstable hollow current profile. Here V is the imposed voltage, η the plasma resistivity, q[sub 0] the toroidal and injector poloidal flux ratio, and B[sub 0]≡4χ[sub 0]/ab a nominal poloidal field defined by the injector poloidal flux χ[sub 0], plasma minor radius a, and plasma elongation b/a. When a small plasma inertia is included in the equation of motion, such as that in a time dependent MHD calculation, the modification on the perpendicular current is small, but its impact on parallel current distribution and hence the spatial dependence of magnetic flux can be great through the Pfirsch–Schlüter-like effects. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Ion trapping alters the dispersion of ion acoustic waves by nonlinearly shifting the normal mode frequency and by reducing the ion Landau damping. This in turn can influence the energy transfer between two crossing laser beams in the presence of plasma flows such that stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) occurs. The same ion trapping physics can influence the saturation of SBS in other circumstances. A one-dimensional analytical model is presented along with reasonably successful comparisons of the theory to results from particle simulations and laboratory experiments. An analysis of the vulnerability of the National Ignition Facility Inertial Confinement Fusion point design [S. W. Haan et al., Fusion Sci.

Producing explosions in deuterated methane clusters with a 100 fs, 100 TW laser pulse, it is found that deuterium ions are accelerated to sufficiently high kinetic energy to drive deuterium nuclear fusion. From measurements of cluster size and ion energy via time of flight methods, it is found that these exploding deuterated methane clusters exhibit higher ion energies than explosions of comparably sized neat deuterium clusters, in accord with recent theoretical predictions. From measurements of the plume size and peak density, the relative contribution to the fusion yield from both beam target and intrafilament fusion is discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Although differences among organisms are often attributed to differential gene expression, genome-wide comparative analysis thus far has been based primarily on genomic sequence information. We present a comparative study of large datasets of expression profiles from six evolutionarily distant organisms: S. cerevisiae, C. elegans, E. coli, A. thaliana, D. melanogaster, and H. sapiens. We use genomic sequence information to connect these data and compare global and modular properties of the transcription programs. Linking genes whose expression profiles are similar, we find that for all organisms the connectivity distribution follows a power-law, highly connected genes tend to be essential and conserved, and the expression program is highly modular. We reveal the modular structure by decomposing each set of expression data into coexpressed modules. Functionally related sets of genes are frequently coexpressed in multiple organisms. Yet their relative importance to the transcription program and their regulatory relationships vary among organisms. Our results demonstrate the potential of combining sequence and expression data for improving functional gene annotation and expanding our understanding of how gene expression and diversity evolved.

Of particular interest is understanding the changes in properties with time and temperature and whether the mechanisms responsible for stress relaxation are able to induce other material property changes. The stress relaxation properties of Dow Corning S5370 polysiloxane samples, aged under controlled conditions, have been measured using a Thermomechanical analyser (TMA) at a number of different temperatures. The results were assessed using the principle of Time-Temperature Superposition. Derived acceleration factors showed good adherence to the Arrhenius relationship and showed two regions where processes with different activation energies dominate. A transition region where there is a change in the predominant degradation process is evident at around 120 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) studies were used to provide an improved understanding of the degradation at elevated temperatures (>120 °C). Time-temperature superposition and Arrhenius treatment of the TGA results reveal an activation energy (75±6 kJ/mol) which correlates closely to that derived from stress relaxation (65±5 kJ/mol). Overall, these observations suggest that the degradation processes at elevated temperatures which influence stress relaxation also induce significant weight loss. The dominant degradation process at elevated temperatures(>120 °C) is most probably silicone head to tail unzipping reactions resulting in the production of volatile cyclic species.

Finite truncations of these series are referred to as polynomial chaos (PC) approximations. This paper explores features and limitations of PC approximations. Metrics are developed to assess the accuracy of the PC approximation. A collection of simple, but relevant examples is examined in this paper. The number of terms in the PC approximations used in the examples exceeds the number of terms retained in most current applications. For the examples considered, it is demonstrated that (1) the accuracy of the PC approximation improves in some metrics as additional terms are retained, but does not exhibit this behavior in all metrics considered in the paper, (2) PC approximations for strictly stationary, non-Gaussian stochastic processes are initially nonstationary and gradually may approach weak stationarity as the number of terms retained increases, and (3) the development of PC approximations for certain processes may become computationally demanding, or even prohibitive, because of the large number of coefficients that need to be calculated. However, there have been many applications in which PC approximations have been successful.

The libraries have successfully partnered to serve different clientele at a combined reference desk since June 1997. Although having separate staffs, catalogs, and collections, the libraries share a single reference/information desk. The reference staffs work together to serve a very diverse clientele including students, faculty, engineers, scientists, contractors, regulators, and the public. The combined libraries offer significant benefits to both library staffs and their users. The libraries have expanded access to collections and information expertise, enhanced staff training opportunities, and provided additional hours of reference service to patrons while at the same time maintaining the individual identities the two libraries.

The valve is a pilot type with two stages of active components. The pilot or first stage section is magnetically driven and equipped with a 4.2-mm-diam orifice. The pilot valve is energized to initiate operations and dumps gas from the upstream section of the second stage to the main valve outlet, and the resultant pressure differential across the large (22.3-mm-diam) output orifice seat causes mechanical activation of the second stage. Both stages are equipped with hard polyimide stem tips and springs for sealing. The valve has been operated reliably with helium gas at pressures in the range of 4–35 bar and frequencies up to 6 Hz, with maximum flow rates of ≈10[sup 6] Torr l/s. The valve was developed to provide helium propellant gas for accelerating IFE targets to speeds up to 400 m/s in an experimental injector system under construction by General Atomics. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Reviews of Modern Physics JF - Reviews of Modern Physics Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 76 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 195 EP - 214 SN - 00346861 AB - The DNA molecule, well known from biology for containing the genetic code of all living species, has recently caught the attention of chemists and physicists. A major reason for this interest is DNA's potential use in nanoelectronic devices, both as a template for assembling nanocircuits and as an element of such circuits. Without question, a truly conducting form of DNA would have a major impact on developments in nanotechnology. It has also been suggested that extended electronic states of DNA could play an important role in biology, e.g., through the processes of DNA damage sensing or repair or through long-range charge transfer. However, the electronic properties of DNA remain very controversial. Charge-transfer reactions and conductivity measurements show a large variety of possible electronic behavior, ranging from Anderson and band-gap insulators to effective molecular wires and induced superconductors. Indeed, understanding the conductance of a complicated polyelectrolytic aperiodic system is by itself a major scientific problem. In this Colloquium, the authors summarize the wide-ranging experimental and theoretical results and look for any consistencies between them. They also pose simple questions regarding the electronic states of DNA within the framework of generalized Hückel and Slater-Koster theories. The Colloquium provides a quantitative overview of DNA's electronic states as obtained from density-functional theory, focusing on dependence on structure, on molecular stretching and twisting, and on water and counterions. While there is no clear theoretical basis for truly metallic DNA, situations are discussed in which very small energy gaps might arise in the overall DNA/water/counterion complex, leading to thermally activated conduction at room temperature.

To verify this, the adsorption of phenol, aniline, benzene, and nitrobenzene was studied as a function of surface oxygen groups. It was determined that there is a linear correlation between total surface acidity and adsorption capacity for H-bonding adsorbates in cyclohexane. Flow microcalorimetry (FMC) and ultrasonic desorption tests also indicate stronger and less reversible adsorption bonds for H-bonding adsorbates. Reversibility of adsorption decreased with increasing surface oxygen concentration, indicating a strong relationship between the oxygen groups and adsorption mechanism.

JO - SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis & Applications JF - SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis & Applications Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 25 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 901 EP - 920 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 08954798 AB - In (SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 23 (2002), pp. 706–727, we developed numerical algorithms for computing sparse low-rank approximations of matrices, and we also provided a detailed error analysis of the proposed algorithms together with some numerical experiments. The low-rank approximations are constructed in a certain factored form with the degree of sparsity of the factors controlled by some user-specified parameters. In this paper, we cast the sparse low-rank approximation problem in the framework of penalized optimization problems. We discuss various approximation schemes for the penalized optimization problem which are more amenable to numerical computations. We also include some analysis to show the relations between the original optimization problem and the reduced one. We then develop a globally convergent discrete Newton-like iterative method for solving the approximate penalized optimization problems. We also compare the reconstruction errors of the sparse low-rank approximations computed by our new methods with those obtained using the methods in the earlier paper and several other existing methods for computing sparse low-rank approximations. Numerical examples show that the penalized methods are more robust and produce approximations with factors which have fewer columns and are sparser.

The singular integrals are defined as limits to the boundary, and by integrating two of the four dimensions analytically, the coincident integral is shown to be divergent. However, the divergent terms can be explicitly calculated and shown to cancel with corresponding singularities in the adjacent edge integrals. A single analytic integration is employed for the edge and vertex singular integrals. This is sufficient to display the divergent term in the edge-adjacent integral and to show that the vertex integral is finite. By explicitly identifying the divergent quantities, we can compute the hypersingular integral without recourse to Stokes's theorem or the Hadamard finite part. The algorithms are developed in the context of a linear element approximation for the Laplace equation but are expected to be generally applicable. As an example, the algorithms are applied to solve a thermal problem in an exponentially graded material.

For properly chosen stabilization parameters these methods are well-posed for all conforming velocity-pressure pairs. However, their variational forms have widely varying properties. First, stabilization offers a choice between weakly or strongly coercive bilinear forms that give rise to linear systems with identical solutions but very different matrix properties. Second, coercivity may be conditional upon a proper choice of a stabilizing parameter. Here we focus on how these two aspects of stabilized methods affect their accuracy and efficient iterative solution. We present results that indicate a preference of Krylov subspace solvers for strongly coercive formulations. Stability criteria obtained by finite element and algebraic analyses are compared with numerical experiments. While for two popular classes of stabilized methods, sufficient stability bounds correlate well with numerical stability, our experiments indicate the intriguing possibility that the pressure-stabilized Galerkin method is unconditionally stable.

JO - Soil Science Society of America Journal JF - Soil Science Society of America Journal Y1 - 2004/01//Jan/Feb2004 VL - 68 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 233 SN - 03615995 AB - Agricultural lands may be used to produce short-rotation woody crops (SRWCs) for fuel or fiber, but the effects of SRWCs on soils are poorly understood. In this study, a SRWC was integrated with an annual row crop system in a row crop-SRWC-row crop rotation. The objective was to document the effects of the woody crop on soil total C, N, inorganic N, and aggregate stability after the site was returned to row crop production. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was followed by 4- and 5-yr rotations of American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.), followed by no-till corn (Zea mays L.) (SY4C and SY5C, respectively). Continuous row crops (soybean converted to corn) served as a control (SBC). Four rates of broadcast NH[sub 4]NO[sub 3] were applied to corn. The study was in southwestern Tennessee on a Memphis-Loring silt loam intergrade (fine-silty, mixed, active, thermic Typic Hapludalfs-fine-silty, mixed, active, thermic Oxyaquic Fragiudalfs). During 3 yr of post-sycamore corn production, increases in soil total C concentration below a 2.5-cm depth were attributed to the sycamore crop. After fertilization of first-year corn at 73 and 146 kg N ha[sup -1], soil inorganic N concentrations were lower in the SY4C than the SBC system from 0 to 2.5 cm. Mean weight diameter (MWD) of water-stable soil aggregates at depths of 2.5 to 15 cm was greater for the SY4C than the SBC system. Four- and 5-yr sycamore rotations significantly affected chemical and physical properties of an agricultural soil.

Wet acidic texturing, which would be the least costly to implement, produces a modest improvement in reflection before antireflection coating and encapsulation, whereas maskless reactive-ion etching texturing, and especially masked reactive-ion etched ‘pyramids’, generate a larger gain in absorption. After antireflection coating and encapsulation however, the differences between the methods are reduced. Short-circuit current measurements on wet acidic textured cells reveal that there is a significant additional current gain above that expected from the reduced reflection. This is attributed to both light-trapping and oblique coupling of incident light into the cell, resulting in generation closer to the junction.

KTaO3 is an important material for optoelectronic and tunable microwave applications. It is an incipient ferroelectric with a cubic structure that becomes ferroelectric when doped with Nb. While numerous studies have investigated the thin-film growth of semiconducting perovskites, little is reported about semiconducting KTaO3 thin films. In this work, the films were grown on (1 0 0) MgO single crystal substrates using pulsed-laser deposition. Semiconducting behavior is achieved by inducing oxygen vacancies in the KTaO3 lattice via growth in a hydrogen atmosphere. The resistivity of semiconducting KTaO3:Ca films was as low as 10 Ω cm, and n-type semiconducting behavior was indicated. Hall mobility and carrier concentration were 0.27 cm2/V s and 3.2 × 1018 cm−3, respectively. Crystallinity and microstructure of the KTaO3:Ca films were examined using X-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electron microscopy.

The model includes the effects of temperature on the threshold voltage, carrier mobility, the body leakage current, and the drain and source contact region resistances.

JO - Solvent Extraction & Ion Exchange JF - Solvent Extraction & Ion Exchange Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 22 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 103 SN - 07366299 AB - Symmetrically substituted partial alkyl-esters of methylenediphosphonic acid are powerful metal ion extractants for actinides in all oxidation states. A preliminary study of calcium and americium(III) extraction by the n-octyl and 2-ethylhexyl di-substituted esters of methylenediphosphonic acid revealed the distribution ratios and the nitric acid dependency behaviors for the two extractants to be very similar, with the extraction efficiency for the n-octyl ester somewhat higher than for the 2-ethylhexyl derivative. Since the basicity of the phosphoryl groups in the two extractants should be essentially the same, the differences in the solvent extraction efficiency of these two C8-alkyl-substituted ligands could arise from differences in the steric requirements of the ester groups. Ester group steric effects on metal ion extraction for a series of symmetrically alkyl-substituted partial esters and identically substituted tetra-esters of methylenediphosphonic acid were investigated to gain insight into these differences. The symmetrical tetra-esters were included in this study to avoid potential complications from the strong hydrogen bonding and aggregation effects associated with the partial esters. Specifically, strontium and americium(III) extraction by n-hexyl, 2,4,4-trimethylpentyl and cyclohexyl di-esters of methylenediphosphonic acid, and americium(III) extraction by identically substituted n-hexyl, 2,4,4-trimethylpentyl, 3-(trimethylsilyl)propyl and 2-ethylhexyl tetra-esters were measured. This data demonstrates the influence of ester group steric requirements on the solvent extraction efficiency of alkyl-substituted methylenediphosphonic acids.

SN - 00386308 AB - The 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft, now in orbit at Mars, will observe the Martian surface at infrared and visible wavelengths to determine surface mineralogy and morphology, acquire global gamma ray and neutron observations for a full Martian year, and study the Mars radiation environment from orbit. The science objectives of this mission are to: (1) globally map the elemental composition of the surface, (2) determine the abundance of hydrogen in the shallow subsurface, (3) acquire high spatial and spectral resolution images of the surface mineralogy, (4) provide information on the morphology of the surface, and (5) characterize the Martian near-space radiation environment as related to radiation-induced risk to human explorers. To accomplish these objectives, the 2001 Mars Odyssey science payload includes a Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS), a multi-spectral Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), and a radiation detector, the Martian Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE). THEMIS and MARIE are mounted on the spacecraft with THEMIS pointed at nadir. GRS is a suite of three instruments: a Gamma Subsystem (GSS), a Neutron Spectrometer (NS) and a High-Energy Neutron Detector (HENID). The HEND and NS instruments are mounted on the spacecraft body while the GSS is on a 6-m boom. Some science data were collected during the cruise and aerobraking phases of the mission before the prime mission started. THEMIS acquired infrared and visible images of the Earth-Moon system and of the southern hemisphere of Mars. MARIE monitored the radiation environment during cruise. The GRS collected calibration data during cruise and aerobraking. Early GRS observations in Mars orbit indicated a hydrogen-rich layer in the upper meter of the subsurface in the Southern Hemisphere. Also, atmospheric densities, scale heights, temperatures, and pressures were observed by spacecraft accelerometers during aerobraking as the spacecraft skimmed the upper portions of the Martian atmosphere. This provided the first in-situ evidence of winter polar warming in the Mars upper atmosphere. The prime mission for 2001 Mars Odyssey began in February 2002 and will continue until August 2004. During this prime mission, the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft will also provide radio relays for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European landers in early 2004. Science data from 2001 Mars Odyssey instruments will be provided to the science community via NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS). The first PDS release of Odyssey data was in October 2002; subsequent releases occur every 3 months.

SN - 00386308 AB - The Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer is a suite of three different instruments, a gamma subsystem (GS), a neutron spectrometer, and a high-energy neutron detector, working together to collect data that will permit the mapping of elemental concentrations on the surface of Mars. The instruments are complimentary in that the neutron instruments have greater sensitivity to low amounts of hydrogen, but their signals saturate as the hydrogen content gets high. The hydrogen signal in the GS, on the other hand, does not saturate at high hydrogen contents and is sensitive to small differences in hydrogen content even when hydrogen is very abundant. The hydrogen signal in the neutron instruments and the GS have a different dependence on depth, and thus by combining both data sets we can infer not only the amount of hydrogen, but constrain its distribution with depth. In addition to hydrogen, the GS determines the abundances of several other elements. The instruments, the basis of the technique, and the data processing requirements are described as are some expected applications of the data to scientific problems.

SN - 00386308 AB - The potential risks for late effects including cancer, cataracts, and neurological disorders due to exposures to the galactic cosmic rays (GCR) is a large concern for the human exploration of Mars. Physical models are needed to project the radiation exposures to be received by astronauts in transit to Mars and on the Mars surface, including the understanding of the modification of the GCR by the Martian atmosphere and identifying shielding optimization approaches. The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission has been collecting Martian surface topographical data with the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). Here we present calculations of radiation climate maps of the surface of Mars using the MOLA data, the radiation transport model HZETRN (high charge and high energy transport), and the quantum multiple scattering fragmentation model, QMSFRG. Organ doses and the average number of particle hits per cell nucleus from GCR components (protons, heavy ions, and neutrons) are evaluated as a function of the altitude on the Martian surface. Approaches to improve the accuracy of the radiation climate map, presented here using data from the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission, are discussed.

The Raman studies indicate that the monoclinic (m) phase dominates up to a 10 at.% lanthanide level, while stabilization of the cubic phase is attained at ∼20 and ∼25 at.% of Sm3+ and Nd3+, respectively. Both systems are strongly luminescent under photo-excitation. The emission spectrum at 77 K of the ZrO2:Sm3+ system consists of a broad band at 505 nm, that corresponds to the zirconia matrix. At room temperature the band maximum blue-shifts to 490 nm. Sharper bands corresponding to f–f transitions within the Sm3+ion are also exhibited in the longer wavelength region of the spectrum. Exclusive excitation of the zirconia matrix provides sensitized emission from the acceptor Sm3+ ion. The excitation profile is dominated by a broad band at 325 nm when monitored either at the zirconia or at one of the Sm3+ emissions. A spectral overlap between the 6H5/2→4G7/2 absorption of the Sm3+ ion with the zirconia emission leads to an efficient energy transfer process in the systems. Multiple facets of the spectral behavior of the Sm3+ or Nd3+ in the zirconia matrices, as well as the effects of compositions on the emission and Raman properties of the materials, and the role of defect centers in photoluminescence and the energy transfer processes are discussed.

The laser system consists of an oscillator system for generation of femtosecond laser pulses, an amplifier system to increase the pulse energy of the generated pulses to about 2 mJ and an optical parametrical amplifier system to provide tunable laser pulses over a wide wavelength range (280 nm–10 μm). The laser pulses were applied to the sample and the emitted fluorescence was detected using a fast-gating intensified CCD camera-based spectrometer. To verify the performance of the laser, the well-known protonation constant [Pure Appl. Chem. 69 (1997) 329] of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid was determined. The fluorescence lifetime of the excited species was determined as 375±32 ps in the pH range from 1.0 to 6.0, having a fluorescence emission maximum at 438 nm. The first protonation constant was determined from fluorescence data as log K3=3.17±0.05 at an ionic strength of 0.1 M and at 294 K exploiting the Stern–Volmer mechanism. The agreement of the protonation constant with literature data (log K3=3.10±0.20, I=0.1 M, T=298 K [Bull. Soc. Jpn. 44 (1971) 3459]) demonstrates the excellent performance of our system. Furthermore, we determined the complex formation constant log K1=−3.11±0.16 by measuring the fluorescence properties of the ligand for the 1:1 uranyldihydroxobenzoate complex in the pH range from 3.0 to 4.5 at ionic strength of 0.1 M and at 294 K. We also determined the complex formation constant via the fluorescence emission of the metal ion uranium(VI). The fluorescence of the uranyl ion is influenced by dynamic quenching of the non-dissociated ligand and by static quenching due to the complex formation. After correction of these effects using the determined fluorescence lifetime, the complex formation constant was calculated to be log K1=−3.99±0.44. A 1:1 metal:ligand stoichiometry was determined with both measurement methods. However, the difference of the obtained formation constants and the derived standard deviations indicate a superimposition of effects with the excited-state reactions of the ligand.

With water vapor, the formation of phase-pure anatase TiO2 thin films via epitaxial stabilization on (001) LaAlO3 was achieved, although crystallinity was slightly inferior to that obtained when O2 was employed. Films grown using water vapor exhibited a rougher surface morphology indicating a difference in growth mechanisms. At low H2O pressure, the formation of a TinO2n−1 Magnéli phase was observed. When hydrogen was employed during growth, mixed phase films of rutile and anatase resulted. The development of crystallinity and phase as a function of deposition temperature and oxidant pressure are discussed.

Three-dimensional simulations of defects in Mo/Si multilayer films nucleated by arrays of lithographically patterned particles are shown to be in good agreement with experimental measurements. Our results confirm that incorporating ion beam etching in the multilayer deposition process significantly suppresses the defect growth. This has a potentially important application in the fabrication of defect-free masks for extreme ultraviolet lithography.

We, furthermore, quantify the variations in diffraction intensity with position over the same area. This unique solution to the experimental boundary condition problem enables us to make precise measurements of mean inner electrostatic potentials and structure factors that are sensitive to the bonding characteristics of materials. In this paper, we present the results of mean-inner potential determination from silicon and the newly discovered magnesiumdiboride superconductor.

Simulated images based on finite element models of the displacement field and using multi-beam dynamical diffraction theory show a high degree of agreement.

We also describe the appropriate way of solving this equation that may be useful for understanding and practical use of non-holographic methods for phase retrieval in electron microscopy, especially in imaging magnetic materials. The method is simple, since it is primarily based on classical Fresnel imaging. On the other hand, it is quantitative and can be applied in any TEM without changing the basic hardware. Therefore, it may well find important practical applications in ultramicroscopy and modern magnetic materials research.

If this model turns out to be a much better way of delivering advertisements, one will see a substantial advantage for ad-supported cable over broadcast television for broadcasters, the issue will not be about fighting to get their advertisements to viewers intact but rather one of getting access, possibly through the retransmission consent process, to the ad personalization technology made possible by the insertion of intelligence and storage into the set-top box.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 40 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Estimates of mass transfer timescales from 316 solute transport experiments reported in 35 publications are compared to the pore-water velocities and residence times, as well as the experimental durations. New tracer experiments were also conducted in columns of different lengths so that the velocity and the advective residence time could be varied independently. In both the experiments reported in the literature and the new experiments, the estimated mass transfer timescale (inverse of the mass-transfer rate coefficient) is better correlated to residence time and the experimental duration than to velocity. Of the measures considered, the experimental duration multiplied by 1 + β (where β is the capacity coefficient, defined as the ratio of masses in the immobile and mobile domains at equilibrium) best predicted the estimated mass transfer timescale. This relation is consistent with other work showing that aquifer and soil material commonly produce multiple timescales of mass transfer.

Examination of worn areas using grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction revealed an austenitic phase at volume fractions of up to 60%. No dependence of austenite fraction on depth was observed for depths of up to 5.0 μm. No clear trend in austenite fraction after scuffing as a function of tempering temperature was found. One wear test was interrupted precisely during scuffing, and the worn areas of that sample showed 15% austenite. A fully scuffed sample of the same tempering temperature contained 60% austenite, while analysis of original material and contact areas prior to scuffing initiation revealed no austenite.Observations from the present work suggest that austenite formation was caused by scuffing and not the other way around. Austenite may have formed due to a rapid austenitization process, mechanical dissolution of carbides, or a diffusionless transformation. Once formed, the austenite may have been stabilized by stress or by small crystallite size, but not likely by compositional change.Use of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory was supported by the US Department of Energy under Contract W-31-109-ENG-38.

SN - 0364152X AB - We collected soil samples from 27 study sites across North Central United States to compare the soil carbon of short rotation poplar plantations to adjacent agricultural crops and woodlots. Soil organic carbon (SOC) ranged from 20 to more than 160 Mg/ha across the sampled sites. Lowest SOC levels were found in uplands and highest levels in riparian soils. We attributed differences in bulk density and SOC among cover types to the inclusion of woodlot soils in the analysis. Paired comparison found few differences between poplar and agricultural crops. Sites with significant comparisons varied in magnitude and direction. Relatively greater SOC was often observed in poplar when native soil carbon was low, but there were important exceptions. Woodlots consistently contained greater SOC than the other crops, especially at depth. We observed little difference between paired poplar and switchgrass, both promising bioenergy crops. There was no evidence of changes in poplar SOC relative to adjacent agricultural soils when considered for stand ages up to 12 years. Highly variable native SOC levels and subtle changes over time make verification of soil carbon sequestration among land cover types difficult. In addition to soil carbon storage potential, it is therefore important to consider opportunities offered by long-term sequestration of carbon in solid wood products and carbon-offset through production of bioenergy crops. Furthermore, short rotation poplars and switchgrass offer additional carbon sequestration and other environmental benefits such as soil erosion control, runoff abatement, and wildlife habitat improvement.

SN - 0364152X AB - As part of a study of the potential for carbon sequestration in degraded mine lands, we examined the carbon content of reclaimed mine soils treated with soil amendments (e.g., fly ash and biosolids) using two emerging techniques; terminal restriction fragment- length polymorphism (TRFLP) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Both of these techniques have potential use for measuring aspects of carbon content and its role in the soil ecosystem. To better understand the relationship between the microbial community and the amount of carbon within mine soils, we examined the diversity among fungal communities in soils with different carbon content using TRFLP. TRFLP was run on 18S rDNA from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using primers specific for fungi. Results from the TRFLP were compared to sequencing of 18S clones. The diversity based on sequence analysis was much higher than that indicated by the TRFLP-based analysis. Rarefaction analysis of the data indicated that the total diversity was even higher than we were able to measure with both levels of effort; however, it was clear that we effectively sampled the dominant populations. The LIBS technique displayed a strong linear relationship when compared to conventional techniques (LECO and Walkley–Black) of measuring carbon in soils. In addition, discrepancies were noted between the two conventional techniques for soils with high carbon content.

Uslng a combination of amino acid sequence analysis, three-dimensional crystal structure information, and kinetic analysis, we have characterized TA0175 as phosphoglycolate phosphatase from Thermoplasma acidophilum. The crystal structure of TA0175 revealed two distinct domains, a larger core domain and a smaller cap domain. The large domain is composed of a centrally located five-stranded parallel β-sheet with strand order S10, S9, S8, S1, S2 and a small β-hairpin, strands S3 and S4. This central sheet is flanked by a set of three α-helices on one side and two helices on the other. The smaller domain is composed of an open faced β-sandwich represented by three antiparallel β-strands, S5, S6, and S7, flanked by two oppositely oriented α-helices, H3 and H4. The topology of the large domain is conserved; however, structural variation is observed in the smaller domain among the different functional classes of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily. Enzymatic assays on TA0175 revealed that this enzyme catalyzed the dephosphorylation of phosphoglycolate in vitro with similar kinetic properties seen for eukaryotic phosphoglycolate phosphatase. Activation by divalent cations, especially Mg2+, and competitive inhibition behavior with Cl- ions are similar between TA0175 and phosphoglycolate phosphatase. The experimental evidence presented for TA0175 is indicative of phosphoglycolate phosphatase.

Here, we report the first crystal structure of a member of family 39 glycoside hydrolase, i.e. β-d-xylosidase from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum strain B6A-RI. This study also represents the first structure of any β-xylosidase of the above five glycoside hydrolase families. Each monomer of T. saccharolyticum β-xylosidase comprises three distinct domains; a catalytic domain of the canonical (β/α)8-barrel fold, a β-sandwich domain, and a small α-helical domain. We have determined the structure in two forms: d-xylose-bound enzyme and a covalent 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α-d-xylosyl-enzyme intermediate complex, thus providing two snapshots in the reaction pathway. This study provides structural evidence for the proposed double displacement mechanism that involves a covalent intermediate. Furthermore, it reveals possible functional roles for His228 as the auxiliary acid/base and Glu323 as a key residue in substrate recognition.

T1 - Crystal Structures of the Rhodococcus Proteasome with and without its Pro-peptides: Implications for the Role of the Pro-peptide in Proteasome Assembly JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2004/01/02/ VL - 335 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 233 SN - 00222836 AB - To understand the role of the pro-peptide in proteasome assembly, we have determined structures of the Rhodococcus proteasome and a mutant form that prevents the autocatalytic removal of its pro-peptides. The structures reveal that the pro-peptide acts as an assembly-promoting factor by linking its own β-subunit to two adjacent α-subunits, thereby providing a molecular explanation for the observed kinetics of proteasome assembly. The Rhodococcus proteasome has been found to have a substantially smaller contact region between α-subunits compared to those regions in the proteasomes of Thermoplasma, yeast, and mammalian cells, suggesting that a smaller contact area between α-subunits is likely the structural basis for the Rhodococcus α-subunits not assembling into α-rings when expressed alone. Analysis of all available β-subunit structures shows that the contact area between β-subunits within a β-ring is not sufficient for β-ring self-assembly without the additional contact provided by the α-ring. This appears to be a fail-safe mechanism ensuring that the active sites on the β-subunits are activated only after proteasome assembly is complete.

With the development of high-throughput analytical techniques such as microarrays and 2-D PAGE as well as the development of tools for cell procurement from histological sections such as laser capture microdissection (LCM), it is now possible to perform molecular analyses on specific cell populations from tissue. Since recognition of specific cell populations is critical, there is a need to optimize fixation and embedding not only to improve preservation of biomolecules, but also to maintain excellent histology. We have shown that 70% ethanol fixation of prostate tissue improves the recovery of DNA, RNA, and proteins over routine formalin fixation and maintains histological quality comparable to formalin. There is also a need to develop new technologies in order to expand the range of tissue types that can be analyzed. The development and applications of Layered Expression Scanning (LES) for the molecular analysis of whole tissue sections are discussed.

The ability to generate the large quantities of data becoming routinely available could not be imagined a decade ago. The complexities of data analysis are increasingly the rate-limiting element in scientific advances. The expectations that these large scientific investments will reduce the incidence of human disease and improve health are very high. An emphasis on genetic variation and Toxicogenetics is expected to yield risk estimates for specific rather than average individuals and individuals with varied lifestyles and complex patterns of exposure. Examples from studies of polymorphic variation in DNA repair genes in the healthy population and cancer risk highlight the complexity and challenges of incorporating genetic variation into quantitative estimates of risk associated with environmentally relevant exposures. Similar issues exist in selecting the animal models most appropriate for predicting human risk from environmental exposures to toxic agents.

Based on Herring’s [W.E. Kingston (Ed.), The Physics of Powder Metallurgy, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1951, p. 143] model we show that when the anisotropy is mild, the groove profiles are self-similar in the evolution but are often not in proportion to those developed under isotropic material properties. The grooving kinetics obey power laws with the exponent 1/4. When the anisotropy is critical surface faceting occurs. And, when it is severe the facets coarsen in the evolution. We exhibit the groove profiles in evolution under different degrees of anisotropy. We observe in the experiments that the {1 1 0} and {1 1 1} oriented grains develop small surface facets during annealing, as in the severely anisotropic cases, whilst those grains without crystalline orientation tilted at about 45° to the sample surface do not.

Photomodulated transmission (PT) measurements were performed at room temperature as a function of applied hydrostatic pressure using the diamond-anvil-cell technique. The sharp, derivative-like PT spectral features corresponding to the band-gap transition in CdSe were found to shift linearly toward higher energy with increasing pressure. By examining the pressure dependence of the PT spectra, the pressure coefficient for the direct band gap of wurtzite CdSe was determined to be 43.1 meV/GPa. The hydrostatic deformation potential of the band gap was found to be -2.3 eV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In reporter gene transfection studies, this element which is located ∼42 kb distal to APOE was found to have silencer activity in a subset of cell lines examined. Analysis of transgenic mice containing a fusion construct linking this distal 631 bp conserved element to a reporter gene comprised of the human APOE gene with its proximal promoter resulted in robust brain expression of the transgenic human apoE mRNA in three independent transgenic lines, supporting the identification of a novel brain controlling region (BCR). Further studies using immunohistochemistry revealed widespread human apoE localization throughout the brains of the BCR-apoE transgenic mice with prominent expression in the cortex and diencephalon. In addition, double-label immunofluorescence performed on brain sections and cultures of primary cortical cells localized human apoE protein to cortical neurons and microglia. These studies demonstrate that comparative sequence analysis is a successful strategy to predict candidate regulatory regions in vivo, although they do not imply that this element controls apoE expression physiologically.

The short wavelength and slow time scales characteristic of XPCS extend the phase space accessible to scattering studies beyond some restrictions by light and neutron. Measurements were carried out on polystyrene films of thicknesses ranging from 84 to 333 nm at temperatures above the PS glass transition temperature. We present the experimental verification of the theoretical predictions for the thickness, wave vector and temperature dependence of the capillary wave relaxation times for supported polymeric films above the glass transition temperature.

In this study, a transient method was applied which readily allows one to identify operational features and critical transitions. The method is based on stopping the solids flow rate into the riser when riser is operating in fully dense transport regime. The analysis of transient pressure drop data across the riser during a solids flow cut-off experiment against its time derivative demonstrate the three distinct operating regimes that exist as the gas deplete the solid out of the riser. The transient was compared to data taken under steady state operations using statistically designed experiments. Results indicated that although there were significant differences when comparing operations in dilute conditions, there were no significant differences between the two methods in the fast fluidized and dense transport regimes. The transient method was capable of reproducing the solids circulation dependence on riser solids holdup and on the axial pressure profile. This transient method offers an accurate, easy, rapid, and reproducible means of characterizing CFB operations over a wide range of flow conditions. The lack of accuracy in the dilute regime is conjectured to be due to the wide particle size distribution that resulted in segregation during the transient testing.

To the authors knowledge, this is the first successful hardware demonstration of this approach. This approach is very different from many existing approaches that avoid instabilities by varying process parameters to seek regions of stability or by altering the regenerative process. In this approach, the stability lobes of the machine and tool are actively raised. This allows for machining at spindle speeds that are more representative of those used in existing machine tools.An active control system was implemented using actuators and sensors surrounding a spindle and tool. Due to the complexity of controlling from a stationary co-ordinate system and sensing from a rotating system, a telemetry system was used to transfer structural vibration data from the tool to a control processor. Closed-loop experiments produced up to an order of magnitude improvement in metal removal rate.

This sensitive assay quantifies specific bacteria in a sample without the need to immobilize them or wash away unbound magnetic particles. In the measurement we add 50-nm-diameter superparamagnetic magnetite particles, coated with antibodies, to an aqueous sample containing L. monocytogenes. We apply a pulsed magnetic field to align the magnetic dipole moments and use a high-transition temperature superconducting quantum interference device, an extremely sensitive detector of magnetic flux, to measure the magnetic relaxation signal when the field is turned off. Unbound particles randomize direction by Brownian rotation too quickly to be detected. In contrast, particles bound to L. monocytogenes are effectively immobilized and relax in about 1 s by rotation of the internal dipole moment. This Néel relaxation process is detected by the superconducting quantum interference device. The measurements indicate a detection limit of (5.6 ± 1.1) × 10[sup6] L. monocytogenes in our sample volume of 20 μl. If the sample volume were reduced to 1 nl, we estimate that the detection limit could be improved to 230 ± 40 L. monocyto genes cells. Time-resolved measurements yield the binding rate between the particles and bacteria.

A two compartment pharmacokinetic model is employed to determine the time evolution of the intracellular concentrations of the active forms of drugs, and thereby drug efficacy. The viral replication period is divided into pre- and post-drug action parts, allowing for the introduction of an intracellular delay in drug action. The standard model of viral dynamics is modified to account for the drug dependence of intracellular delay and continuously varying drug efficacy. Model calculations reveal that viral load decay in HIV infected patients under monotherapy can exhibit remarkably complex patterns depending on the relative magnitudes of the pharmacokinetic, intracellular, and intrinsic viral dynamic time-scales. The commonly assumed exponential decay is only a special case. However, uncertainties in measurement and the low sampling frequencies employed in present clinical studies preclude the identification of these patterns from existing clinical viral load data.

We observe self-quenching of luminescence with increasing film thickness. For a bilayer system of dendrimer/MPS-PPV, we show an additional terminal dendrimer layer results in films with greater photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) compared to bilayer films having terminal MPS-PPV layers. Increasing the concentration of the terminal dendrimer layer results in a large increase in PLQE and a spectral red-shift. These changes are a result of increased contact between the dendrimer and MPS-PPV layers through interpenetration.

A regridding algorithm adds and deletes computational points as needed in order to maintain a uniform interparticle spacing, and unitary time evolution is obtained by propagating the wave packet using averaged fields. The numerical instabilities associated with the formation of nodes in the reflected portion of the wave packet are avoided by adding artificial viscosity to the equations of motion. The methodology is applied to a two-dimensional model collinear reaction with an activation barrier. Reaction probabilities are computed as a function of both time and energy, and are in excellent agreement with those based on the quantum trajectory method. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/01/08/ VL - 120 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 612 EP - 622 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Using high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy, we have determined the energy dependent vibrational branching ratios for the symmetric stretch [v[sup +]=(100)], bend [v[sup +]=(010)], and antisymmetric stretch [v[sup +]=(001)], as well as several overtones and combination bands in the 4σ[sub g][sup -1] photoionization of CO[sub 2]. Data were acquired over the range from 20–110 eV, and this wide spectral coverage highlighted that alternative vibrational modes exhibit contrasting behavior, even over a range usually considered to be dominated by atomic effects. Alternative vibrational modes exhibit qualitatively distinct energy dependences, and this contrasting mode-specific behavior underscores the point that vibrationally resolved measurements reflect the sensitivity of the electron scattering dynamics to well-defined changes in molecular geometry. In particular, such energy-dependent studies help to elucidate the mechanism(s) responsible for populating the symmetry forbidden vibrational levels [i.e., v[sup +]=(010), (001), (030), and (110)]. This is the first study in which vibrationally resolved data have been acquired as a function of energy for all of the vibrational modes of a polyatomic system. Theoretical Schwinger variational calculations are used to interpret the experimental data, and they indicate that a 4σ[sub g]→kσ[sub u] shape resonance is responsible for most of the excursions observed for the vibrational branching ratios. Generally, the energy dependent trends are reproduced well by theory, but a notable exception is the symmetric stretch vibrational branching ratio. The calculated results display a strong peak in the vibrational branching ratio while the experimental data show a pronounced minimum. This suggests an interference mechanism that is not accounted for in the single-channel adiabatic-nuclei calculations. Electronic branching ratios were also measured and compared to the vibrational branching ratios to assess the relative contributions of interchannel (i.e., Herzberg–Teller) versus intrachannel (i.e., photoelectron-mediated) coupling. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

An analytic fit of this surface is obtained, and, using this, two minima are found. The global minimum has C[sub 2v] symmetry, with the hydrogen molecule acting as a proton donor to the oxygen atom on water. A local minimum with C[sub s] symmetry has the hydrogen molecule acting as a proton acceptor to one of the hydrogen atoms on water, where the OH bond and H[sub 2] are in a T-shaped configuration. The SPT global minimum is bound by 1097 μE[sub h] (E[sub h]≈4.359 744×10[sup -18] J). Our best estimate of the binding energy, from a complete basis set extrapolation of coupled-cluster calculations, is 1076.1 μE[sub h]. The fitted surface is used to calculate the second cross virial coefficient over a wide temperature range (100–3000 K). Three complementary methods are used to quantify quantum statistical mechanical effects that become significant at low temperatures. We compare our results with experimental data, which are available over a smaller temperature range (230–700 K). Generally good agreement is found, but the experimental data are subject to larger uncertainties.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The largest MP2 calculation with the augmented quintuple zeta (aug-cc-pV5Z) basis set produced binding energies of -73.70 (D[sub 2d]) and -73.67 kcal/mol (S[sub 4]). The effects of higher correlation, computed at the CCSD(T) level of theory, are estimated at <0.1 kcal/mol. The newly established MP2/CBS limit for the water octamer is reproduced quite accurately by the newly developed all atom polarizable, flexible interaction potential (TTM2-F). The TTM2-F binding energies of -73.21 (D[sub 2d]) and -73.24 kcal/mol (S[sub 4]) for the two isomers are just 0.5 kcal/mol (or 0.7%) larger than the MP2/CBS limit. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It is shown that the width of angular distribution of the photoelectric current is inversely proportional to the electron localization size within the most common approximations in the description of image potential states. The localization of the n=1 image potential state for two monolayers of butyronitrile on Ag(111) is used as an example. For the delocalized n=1 state, the shape of the signal amplitude as a function of momentum parallel to the surface changes rapidly with time, indicating efficient intraband relaxation on a 100 fs time scale. For the localized state, little change was observed. The latter is related to the constant size distribution of electron localization, which is estimated to be a Gaussian with a 15±4 Å full width at half maximum in the plane of the interface. A simple model was used to study the effect of a weak localization potential on the overall width of the angular distribution of the photoemitted electrons, which exhibited little sensitivity to the details of the potential. This substantiates the validity of the localization size estimate. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/01/08/ VL - 108 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 625 EP - 634 SN - 15206106 AB - The effects of pH on the surface reconstruction of Au(100), on CO oxidation, and on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have been studied by a combination of surface X-ray scattering (SXS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) measurements. In harmony with previous SXS and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) results, the potential-induced hexagonal (“hex”) to (1 × 1) transition occurs faster in an alkaline electrolyte than in acidic media. In alkaline solution, CO adsorption facilitates the formation of a “hex” phase; in acid solution, however, CO has negligible effect on the potential range of thermodynamic stability of the “hex” ↔ (1 × 1) transition. We propose that in KOH the continuous removal of OHad in the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction (CO + OH = CO2 + H+ + e-) may stabilize the “hex” phase over a much wider potential range than in CO-free solution. In acid solution, where specifically adsorbing anions cannot be displaced by CO from the Au(100) surface, CO has negligible effect on the equilibrium potential for the “hex” ↔ (1 × 1) transition. Such a mechanism is in agreement with the pH-dependent oxidation of CO. The ORR is also affected by the pH of solution. It is proposed that the pH-dependent kinetics of the ORR on Au(100) can be unraveled by finding the relationship between kinetic rates and two terms: (i) the energetic term of the Au(100)-O2- interaction determines the potential regions where the rate-determining step O2 + e = O2- occurs, and (ii) the preexponential term determines the availability of active sites for the adsorption of O2-.

Henry''s constants were obtained for CO2 in nine different ionic liquids: 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C3mimTf2N), 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C4mimTf2N), C4mimTf2N with polyethylenimine, 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C6mimTf2N), 1-methyl-3-n-octylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C8mimTf2N), 1-methyl-3-(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl)imidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C8F13mimTf2N), 1,4-dibutyl-3-phenylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide, 1-butyl-3-phenylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide, and 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (C3mimPF6). All results were obtained at 25 °C with CO2 pressures at or less than 1 bar. A comparison of results helps in understanding the role of chemical structure on the separation capabilities of these materials. Notable among the results is a significantly greater measured CO2 solubility in the ionic liquid having the fluorine-substituted cation as compared to the corresponding ionic liquid with a nonfluorinated cation. CO2 solubility was found to be lower in the ionic liquid containing PF6- than for the corresponding liquid with Tf2N- anion. Addition of an imine polymer to the ionic liquid did not significantly change CO2 solubility characteristics. The presence of water had a minor effect on CO2 solubility for C8mimTf2N for environments with a relative humidity of 40% or less. Henry''s constant for CO2 in C3mimPF6 obtained in this study is in good agreement with previously reported Henry''s constant values for CO2 in C4mimPF6 that were obtained by other means. This study not only provides some important thermodynamic property information for these unique materials but also illustrates the utility of using a quartz crystal microbalance to obtain this information.

A Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) fragment that binds only the activated intracellular signaling protein Cdc42 was labeled with a novel solvatochromic dye and used to probe hydrophobic interactions significant to Cdc42/WASP recognition. The study shows static and dynamic inhomogeneous conformational fluctuations of the protein complex that involve bound and loosely bound states. A two-coupled, two-state Markovian kinetic model is proposed for the conformational dynamics. The MD simulations explore the origin of these conformational states and associated conformational fluctuations in this protein-protein interaction system.

Experimental studies of biochemical reactions on membrane surfaces are challenging, as they require a membrane environment that is fluid (like cell membranes) but nevertheless allows for the efficient detection and characterization of molecular interactions. One approach uses lipid membranes supported on solid substrates such as silica or polymers: although the membrane is trapped near the solid interface, it retains natural fluidity and biological functionality and can be implanted with membrane proteins for functional studies. But the detection of molecular interactions involving membrane-bound species generally requires elaborate techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance or total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. Here we demonstrate that colloidal phase transitions of membrane-coated silica beads provide a simple and label-free method for monitoring molecular interactions on lipid membrane surfaces. By adjusting the lipid membrane composition and hence the pair interaction potential between the membrane-supporting silica beads, we poise our system near a phase transition so that small perturbations on the membrane surface induce dramatic changes in the macroscopic organization of the colloid. We expect that this approach, used here to probe with high sensitivity protein binding events at membrane surfaces, can be applied to study a broad range of cell membrane processes.

The spectra were measured for transverse momenta pT from 0.25 to 4.5 GeV/c in a pseudorapidity range of 0.2<η<1.4. The evolution of the spectra is studied as a function of collision centrality, from 65 to 344 participating nucleons. The results are compared to data from proton–antiproton collisions and Au+Au collisions at lower RHIC energies. We find a significant change of the spectral shape between proton–antiproton and semi-peripheral Au+Au collisions. Comparing semi-peripheral to central Au+Au collisions, we find that the yields at high pT exhibit approximate scaling with the number of participating nucleons, rather than scaling with the number of binary collisions.

The formation of macrosteps and their evolution with distance from the hillock top were also observed. Hillock slope depended linearly on supersaturation and hillock geometry. The two non-equivalent sectors exhibited different slopes and step velocities. AFM shows an elementary step height of 3.7 A˚, or half the unit cell height, whereas previous interferometric experiments assumed the elementary step was a unit cell. Values of the step edge energy (α), the kinetic coefficients for the slow and fast directions (βS and βF), and the activation energies for slow and fast step motion (Ea,S and Ea,F) were calculated to be 24.0 erg/cm2, 0.071 cm/s, 0.206 cm/s, 0.26 eV/molecule, and 0.21 eV/molecule, respectively. Analysis of macrostep evolution including the dependence of step height on time and terrace width on distance were performed and compared to predictions of published models. The results do not allow us to distinguish between a shock wave model and a continuous step-doubling model. Analysis within the latter model leads to a characteristic adsorption time for impurities (λ−1) of 0.0716 s.

The determination of VOCs in near-surface soils and vegetation is the foundation for a more efficient sampling strategy to characterize subsurface soil and improve understanding of environmental problems.In the absence of a standard methodology for the determination of VOCs in vegetation and in view of the high detection limits of the method for soils, we developed a methodology using headspace gas chromatography with an electron capture detector for the determination of low levels (parts-per-billion to parts-per-trillion) of VOCs in soils and vegetation. The technique demonstrates good sensitivity, good recoveries of internal standards and surrogate compounds, good performance, and minimal waste. A case study involving application of this technique as a first-step vadose-zone characterization methodology is presented.

The strontium EXAFS of the metal ions sorbed onto the resin are consistent with a 1:1:2 strontium:crown ether:nitrate stoichiometry in which the strontium is enveloped in the crown ether ring and both nitrate anions are coordinated to the strontium as bidentate ligands. This is the same structure and stoichiometry observed for complexes in liquid–liquid extraction when the macrocyclic polyether is dissolved in a diluent with low water miscibility like 1-octanol.

The model suspensions consist of uniform neutrally buoyant spheres in a viscous Newtonian suspending fluid under conditions such that only hydrodynamic forces exert an appreciable effect. A number of previous studies have focused on determining the average velocity of the settling particle along the centerline or axis of the containing cylinders. The objective of this study is to determine the wall effects experienced by the falling balls as they settle off-center or eccentrically at a radial distance b from the centerline in a cylinder of radius R.We find that in the dilute suspensions (volume concentration of solids, φ=10%), off-center wall effects are indistinguishable from those in pure Newtonian fluids. For the moderately concentrated suspensions (φ=30%), off-center wall effects begin to deviate from Newtonian behavior as the ball approaches the wall (b/R>0.5) and the ball settles slower than it would in a Newtonian fluid with the same apparent viscosity. In a highly concentrated suspension (φ=50%), the Newtonian region in the center of the cylinder is much smaller (b/R<0.3) and wall effects are significantly stronger than those found in the moderately concentrated suspension. These results indicate that current suspension constitutive models that assume generalized Newtonian behavior for concentrated suspensions must be reexamined as wall effects are much larger and extend further into the suspension than previously thought.

Each tile is a square with 12 cm long sides and 5 mm thickness. The light from each of the scintillators is collected by wavelength shifting fibers embedded on the periphery. The light collection is uniform within 5% over the tile with the edge effect limited to 4 mm along the edge. The response is found to be linear in the high-multiplicity environment at RHIC with Au+Au beams at √ of sNN of 200 GeV.

For Si-rich nitrides varying in composition from SiN[sub 1.33] to SiN[sub 0.54], the Poole–Frenkel trap depth ([uppercase_phi_synonym][sub B]) decreases from 1.08 to 0.52 eV as the intrinsic film strain (ε[sub i]) decreases from 0.0036 to -0.0016.

This noninvasive method is based on the identification of a clear peak in the reverse branch of the magnetization loop at a positive magnetic field, as a signature of the electromagnetic granularity inherent to these materials. A quantitative evaluation of the return magnetic field at the grain boundaries allows us to understand the existence of this magnetization peak and quantify the grain critical current density. This methodology is envisaged to sort out granularity effects from vortex pinning effects on coated conductors. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We explore layered materials, consisting of alternating layers of zinc blende half-metals, by first principles calculations, and find that superlattices of (CrAs)[sub 1](MnAs)[sub 1] and (CrAs)[sub 2](MnAs)[sub 2] are half-metallic with magnetic moments of 7.0μ[sub B] and 14.0μ[sub B] per unit cell, respectively. We discuss the nature of the bonding and half-metallicity in these materials and, based on the understanding acquired, develop a simple expression for the magnetic moment in such materials. We explore the range of lattice constants over which half-metallicity is manifested, and suggest corresponding substrates for growth in thin film form. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The data set reported here includes 6134 offspring. Mutagenic treatments included 600 R (i.e., approximately 6 Gy) of X-rays delivered in about 7 min, 600 R of gamma rays delivered over about 110 days, and four weekly intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 77.5 mg/kg of ethylnitrosourea (ENU). The results reported in this paper are restricted to mutations induced in stem-cell spermatogonia and to the 34 more common skeletal anomalies (i.e., those found in 0.5% or more of the control offspring). Mutation induction was demonstrated for eight anomalies in the acute X-ray experiment and for 17 anomalies (including those same eight anomalies) in the ENU experiment. In spite of the surprisingly high mutation rates found for these treatments, there was no hint of any induction of such dominant mutations by 600 R of chronic gamma radiation. Our results suggest that several anomalies related to variation in the sacralization pattern may be particularly useful for revealing induction of dominant mutations.

This paper reports the first cluster of germinal mosaic mutations to have been identified in experiments on the induction of dominant skeletal mutations. The mutation was detected in six offspring of a control male from the radiation part of an Assessment-of-Dominant-Damage (ADD) experiment. Reasons are provided to explain why this one litter of six mutants was excluded from the analysis of induction of dominant mutations causing the more common skeletal anomalies, which is reported in another paper. The effects of excluding this litter from that analysis are fully described. There is discussion of why such clusters should be included in some analyses but omitted in others. They should certainly always be reported because, in some cases, they can have a major impact on conclusions. Details on this one cluster of FCGM mutations provide numerous examples of how a dominant skeletal mutation that causes rare effects can also cause many of the more common anomalies.

By generalizing Mueller''s dipole model to describe reggeons we construct a non-linear evolution equation for the valence quark distributions at small x in the leading double-logarithmic approximation. The equation includes the effects of gluon saturation in it. The solution of the evolution equation gives a valence quark distribution function dnval/dy∼e−(0.4÷0.5)y. We show that this y-dependence as well as the predictions of regge theory are consistent with the net-proton rapidity distribution reported by BRAHMS.

Perturbative theories as well as the methods employing exact numerical solutions of the Schrödinger equation, expansion of wave functions on atomic and molecular bases and Sturmian expansions are considered. Advantages and limitations of these methods are assessed for colliding systems with one “active” electron, e.g. H+–H and He2+–H. Comparison of calculations with available experimental data is given in a broad collision energy range. Perspectives for further developments are discussed.

The discussion in this paper is directed at analyzing the electrochemical performance of negative electrodes for Li-ion batteries. The physicochemical properties and the electrochemical performance of active materials in the negative electrodes are intimately connected, therefore both parameters are considered in selecting an alternative material to graphite.

While gold has historically been viewed as an unreactive, noble metal, recent studies have shown that supported nanosized, Au catalysts exhibit high catalytic activity for a variety of reactions. One of the most technologically interesting of these reactions is the vapor phase epoxidation of propylene. Since the conventional manufacturing methods for the synthesis of propylene oxide (an important chemical feedstock) involve multiple-step processes using either chlorohydrin or hydroperoxide as an oxidant, its synthesis directly from molecular oxygen has long been sought.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/01/14/ VL - 126 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 88 EP - 95 SN - 00027863 AB - The 5-subunit-containing acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase (ACDS) complex plays an important role in methanogenic Archaea that convert acetate to methane, by catalyzing the central reaction of acetate C-C bond cleavage in which acetyl-CoA serves as the acetyl donor substrate reacting at the ACDS β subunit active site. The properties of Ni in the active site A-cluster in the ACDS β subunit from Methanosarcina thermophila were investigated. A recombinant, C-terminally truncated form of the β subunit was employed, which mimics the native subunit previously isolated from the ACDS complex, and contains an A-cluster composed of an [Fe[SUB4]S[SUB4]] center bridged to a binuclear Ni-Ni site. The electronic structures of these two Ni were studied using L-edge absorption and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy. The L-edge absorption data provided evidence for two distinct Ni species in the as-isolated enzyme, one with low-spin Ni(II) and the other with high-spin Ni(II). XMCD spectroscopy confirmed that the species producing the high-spin signal was paramagnetic. Upon treatment with Ti[SUP3+] citrate, an additional Ni species emerged, which was assigned to Ni(I). By contrast, CO treatment of the reduced enzyme converted nearly all of the Ni in the sample to low-spin Ni(II). The results implicate reaction of a high-spin tetrahedral Ni site with CO to form an enzyme-CO adduct transformed to a low-spin Ni(II) state. These findings are discussed in relation to the mechanism of C-C bond activation, in connection with the model of the β subunit A-cluster developed from companion Ni and Fe K edge, XANES, and EXAFS studies.

The mean number of water molecules in the first solvation shell, or the hydration number, of each formate oxygen is found to be consistent with recent experiments. Our ab initio pair correlation functions, however, differ significantly from many classical force field results and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics predictions. They yield roughly one less hydrogen bond between each formate oxygen and water than force field or hybrid methods predict. Both the BLYP and PW91 exchange correlation functionals give qualitatively similar results. The time dependence of the hydration numbers are examined, and Wannier function techniques are used to analyze electronic configurations along the molecular dynamics trajectory.

Below saturation, phases consisting of molecules with different tilt angles and periodicities are formed. Differences in the mechanical stability of these phases are revealed by AFM experiments and discussed in terms of the competition between intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions as a function of chain length. For long molecules, intermolecular interactions play a dominant role which stabilizes the formation of closed packed 30° tilted (√3×√3)R30° structures. For short molecules, the van der Waals interaction with the gold substrate favors the formation of a 50° tilted phase in which the molecules are arranged in a rectangular configuration.

JO - Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry JF - Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 378 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 256 EP - 269 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 16182642 AB - A mass spectrometric method to determine the absolute intramolecular (position-dependent) nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrous oxide (N2O) has been developed. It is based on the addition of different amounts of doubly labeled 15N2O to an N2O sample of the isotope ratio mass spectrometer reference gas, and subsequent measurement of the relative ion current ratios of species with mass 30, 31, 44, 45, and 46. All relevant quantities are measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometers, which means that the machines’ inherent high precision of the order of 10-5 can be fully exploited. External determination of dilution factors with generally lower precision is avoided. The method itself can be implemented within a day, but a calibration of the oxygen and average nitrogen isotope ratios relative to a primary isotopic reference material of known absolute isotopic composition has to be performed separately. The underlying theoretical framework is explored in depth. The effect of interferences due to 14N15N16O and 15N14N16O in the 15N2O sample and due to 15N2+ formation are fully accounted for in the calculation of the final position-dependent nitrogen isotope ratios. Considering all known statistical uncertainties of measured quantities and absolute isotope ratios of primary isotopic reference materials, we achieve an overall uncertainty of 0.9‰ (1σ). Using tropospheric N2O as common reference point for intercomparison purposes, we find a substantially higher relative enrichment of 15N at the central nitrogen atom over 15N at the terminal nitrogen atom than measured previously for tropospheric N2O based on a chemical conversion method: 46.3±1.4‰ as opposed to 18.7±2.2‰. However, our method depends critically on the absolute isotope ratios of the primary isotopic reference materials air–N2 and VSMOW. If they are systematically wrong, our estimates will also necessarily be incorrect.

We report a technique for micromechanical detection of biologically relevant glucose concentrations by immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto a microcantilever surface. Microfabricated cantilevers have traditionally found utility in atomic force microscope imaging. During the past decade, however, microcantilevers have been increasingly used as transducers in chemical-sensing systems. This paper describes the combination of this technology with enzyme specificity to construct a highly selective glucose biosensor. The enzyme-functionalized microcantilever undergoes bending due to a change in surface stress induced by the reaction between glucose in solution and the GOx immobilized on the cantilever surface. Experiments were carried out under flow conditions. The common interferences for glucose detection in other detection schemes have been tested and have shown to have no effect on the measurement of blood glucose level by this technique.

First MALDI- SID results in FT-ICR are presented, demonstrating unique advantages of SID over conventional FT-ICR MS ion activation techniques for structural characterization of singly protonated peptide ions. Specifically, we demonstrate that SID on a diamond surface results in a significantly better sequence coverage for singly protonated peptides than SORI-CID. A combination of two effects contributes to the improved sequence coverage: shattering of peptide ions on surfaces opens up a variety of dissociation channels at collision energies above 40 eV, and second, wide internal energy distribution deposited by collision with a stiff diamond surface provides an efficient mixing between the primary reaction channels that are dominant at low internal energies and extensive fragmentation at high internal excitation that results from shattering. Activation of MALDI-generated ions by collisions with surfaces in FT-ICR MS is a new powerful method for characterization and identification of bio-molecules.

This article describes a mass spectrometry-based analytical technique for the real-time and reagentless characterization of individual airborne cells without sample preparation. We characterize the mass spectral signature of individual Bacillus spores and demonstrate the ability to distinguish two Bacillus spore species, B. thuringiensis and B. atrophaeus, from one another very accurately and from the other biological and nonbiological background materials tested with no false positives at a sensitivity of 92%. This example demonstrates that the chemical differences between these two Bacillus spore species are consistently and easily detected within single cells in seconds.

The ablated aerosol vapor was collected on silicon substrates for particle size measurements or sent into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. The diameters and size distribution of particulates were measured from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the collected ablated aerosol. SEM measurements showed that particles ablated using nanosecond pulses were single spherical entities ranging in diameter from several micrometers to several hundred nanometers. Primary particles ablated using femtosecond ablation were ∼100 nm in diameter but formed large agglomerates. ICPMS showed enhanced signal intensity and stability using femtosecond compared to nanosecond laser ablation.

The self-aspiration of the heated nebulizer delivers ∼20 μL/mm of the 3.0 mL/min eluate stream to the mass spectrometer, eliminating the need for an external pump in the system. The viability of the coupling is demonstrated with a three-dye mixture composed of fat red 7B, solvent green 3, and solvent blue 35 separated and eluted from a silica gel-coated rotor using toluene. The real-time characterization of the dyes eluting from the rotor is illustrated in positive ion full-scan mode. Other self- aspirating ion source systems including atmospheric pressure photoionization, electrospray ionization, and inductively coupled plasma ionization, for example, might be configured and used in a similar manner coupled to the chromatograph to expand the types of analytes that could be ionized, detected, and characterized effectively.

The GT-MHR is a gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor, which can be powered with a wide variety of fuels, like thorium, uranium or plutonium. In the present work, the GT-MHR is fueled with the transuranic actinides contained in Light Water Reactors (LWRs) spent fuel for the purpose of destroying them as completely as possible with minimum reliance on multiple reprocessing steps. After uranium extraction from the LWR spent fuel (UREX), the remaining waste actinides, including plutonium are partitioned into two distinct types of fuel for use in the GT-MHR: Driver Fuel (DF) and Transmutation Fuel (TF). The DF supplies the neutrons to maintain the fission chain reaction, whereas the TF emphasizes neutron capture to induce a deep burn transmutation and provide reactivity control by a negative feedback. When used in this mode, the GT-MHR is called Deep Burn Modular Helium Reactor (DB-MHR). Both fuels are contained in a structure of triple isotropic coated layers, TRISO coating, which has been proven to retain fission products up to 1600 °C and is expected to remain intact for hundreds of thousands of years after irradiation. Other benefits of this reactor consist of: a well-developed technology, both for the graphite-moderated core and the TRISO structure, a high energy conversion efficiency (about 50%), well established passive safety mechanism and a competitive cost. The destruction of more than 94% of 239Pu and the other geologically problematic actinide species makes this reactor a valid proposal for the reduction of nuclear waste and the prevention of proliferation.

Nanoclusters of GaAs were produced by laser ablating a single crystal GaAs target in vacuum or in a buffer gas using a Ti–sapphire laser with a 150 fs minimum pulse length. For in-vacuum deposition, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the average cluster size was approximately 7 nm for laser pulse lengths between 150 fs and 25 ps. The average cluster size dropped to approximately 1.5 nm at a pulse length of 500 ps. It was also observed that film thickness decreased with increasing laser pulse length. A reflective coating, which accumulated on the laser admission window during ablation, reduced the amount of laser energy reaching the target for subsequent laser shots and developed more rapidly at longer pulse lengths. This observation indicates that non-stoichiometric (metallic) ablatants were produced more readily at longer pulse lengths. The angular distribution of ejected material about the target normal was well fitted to a bi-cosine distribution of cos 47 θ+ cos 4 θ for ablation in vacuum using 150 fs pulses. XPS and AES revealed that the vacuum-deposited films contained excess amorphous Ga or As in addition to the stoichiometric GaAs nanocrystals seen with XRD. However, films containing only the GaAs nanocrystals were produced when ablation was carried out in the presence of a buffer gas with a pressure in excess of 6.67 Pa. At buffer gas pressure on the order of 1 Torr, it was found that the stoichiometry of the ablated target was also preserved. These experiments indicate that both laser pulse length and buffer gas pressure play important roles in the formation of multi-element nanocrystals by laser ablation. The effects of gas pressure on the target’s morphology and the size of the GaAs nanocrystals formed will also be discussed.

Upon addition of molasses to laboratory-scale reactors, total culturable heterotrophs increased rapidly by three to four orders of magnitude. However, heat-shocked heterotrophs and the percentage of gram-positive bacterial isolates did not increase until the soluble concentrations of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TNB) began to decrease. The number of identified phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and the total PLFA concentration also exhibited an immediate increase in response to molasses addition, while the concentration of branched PLFA, indicative of the gram-positive population, remained low until soluble TNT and TNB concentrations had significantly decreased. This same general relationship between explosives degradation and gram-positive-specific PLFA was observed during an experiment with a large field-scale bioslurry lagoon reactor. These results indicate that the gram-positive organisms, which have been shown to be severely impacted by even low concentrations of TNT and TNB [Current Microbiol. 35 (1997) 77; Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 17 (1998) 2185], are able to increase in concentrations after explosives compounds are reduced to non-inhibitory levels, and should therefore be able to reestablish themselves in remediated soils.

One such feedstock, corn fiber, was tested in the US Department of Energy (DOE)/National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) bioethanol pilot plant for the purpose of testing integrated equipment operation and generating performance data. During initial runs in 1995, the plant was operated for two runs lasting 10 and 15 days each and utilized unit operations for feedstock handling, pretreatment by dilute sulfuric-acid hydrolysis, yeast inoculum production, and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using a commercially available cellulase enzyme. Although significant operational problems were encountered, as would be expected with the startup of any new plant, operating experience was gained and preliminary data were generated on corn fiber pretreatment and subsequent fermentation of the pretreated material. Bacterial contamination was a significant problem during these fermentations.

T1 - Novel biosensor chip for simultaneous detection of DNA-carcinogen adducts with low-temperature fluorescence JO - Biosensors & Bioelectronics JF - Biosensors & Bioelectronics Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 19 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 547 SN - 09565663 AB - A monoclonal antibody (MAb)–gold biosensor chip with low-temperature laser-induced fluorescence detection for analysis of DNA-carcinogen adducts is described. Optimization of the detection limit, dynamic range, and biosensing applicability of the MAb–gold biosensor chip was achieved by: (1) using dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate (DSP)) as a protein linker and (2) employing recombinant protein A to provide oriented immobilization of the MAbs. The use of DSP, which has a short methylene chain length, led to faster protein binding kinetics and higher protein surface density than a longer dithiobis(succinimidyl undecanoate) (DSU) linker. The incorporation of recombinant protein A increased the distance between the oriented MAb-bound analytes and the gold surface. The increased distance minimized fluorescence quenching, resulting in about a 10-fold increase in the fluorescence signal in comparison with a chip without protein A. The improved chip architecture was used to demonstrate that biosensing of two structurally similar benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-derived DNA adducts, BP-6-N7Gua and BP-diolepoxide-10-N2dG, bound to two specific MAbs immobilized from a mixture at the same address on the chip, is feasible. These mutagenic adducts are formed by one-electron oxidation and monooxygenation pathways, and are depurinating and stable DNA adducts, respectively. It is shown that the DNA adducts can be easily identified at the same address using time-resolved, low-temperature laser-based fluorescence spectroscopy. The current limit of detection is in the low femtomole range. These results indicate that a single biosensor chip consisting of a Au/DSP/protein A/MAb nanoassembly, with analyte-specific MAbs and low-temperature fluorescence detection should be suitable for simultaneous detection and quantitation of the above adducts, as well as the luminescent antigens for which selective MAbs exist.

The dynamics of each fault model are probed by recording (a) the first and second order moments of the stresses and slips defined in the fault plane, and (b) the surface deformations that indirectly reflect the brittle processes of the fault and which are observable by InSAR and GPS techniques. In order to study the asymptotic attractors of the model we identify the coherent structures (dominant modes) present in the surface deformation fields and project the model dynamics onto the principal directions defined by these coherent structures. The projection is based on the Karhunen–Loe`ve procedure for the determination of an optimal set of basis functions based on second order statistics. We estimate the effective dimensionality of the dynamics by computing the number of modes needed to capture a certain fraction of the statistical variation of the surface deformation fields. We detect a sharp transition in the number of effective degrees of freedom as we vary the dynamic weakening toward larger and dynamically more significant values. This transition is also associated with a separation of the dynamics in slow and fast degrees of freedom and with the presence of multiple length and time scales in the dynamics. This conclusion is also supported by direct dimension estimates using the correlation dimension. We finally compute the significance of evidence for nonlinearity using the method of surrogate data on the correlation dimension statistics.

The calculated free energies for electron transfer suggest the (e−)aq reaction with N2O should fall on the ‘normal’ part of the Marcus parabola, and for this reason the reaction is not diffusion limited.

It is shown that these kinetics are nearly exponential, with a decay time of ca. 30 ps. The prompt quantum yield for the decomposition of H2O2 is 0.56, and the fraction of hydroxyl radicals escaping from the solvent cage to the water bulk is 64–68%. These recombination kinetics suggest strong caging of the geminate hydroxyl radicals by water. Phenomenologically, these kinetics may be rationalized in terms of the diffusion of hydroxide radicals out of a shallow potential well (a solvent cage) with an Onsager radius of 0.24 nm.

The program is based on recent renormalization-group-improved diagrammatic calculations that include dominant higher-order logarithmic and threshold corrections, b-quark Yukawa-coupling resummation effects and Higgs-boson pole-mass shifts. The code CPsuperH is self-contained (with all subroutines included), is easy and fast to run, and is organized to allow further theoretical developments to be easily implemented.11The program may be obtained from http://theory.ph.man.ac.uk/~jslee/CPsuperH.html.

Contamination of Lake Washington sediments by petrogenic aliphatic hydrocarbons and pyrolytic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via atmospheric deposition and stormwater runoff peaked between the 1950s and 1970s and has since decreased as stormwater inputs have been reduced. Radiocarbon signatures (Δ[sup14]C, %[subo]) of total organic carbon decrease (increased "age") in the depth interval of highest hydrocarbon concentration. Graphitic black carbon in the year 2000 core showed a historical profile similar to that of the PAH; however high background sediments deposited before the founding of Seattle indicates a considerable nonindustrial component derived from weathering in the watershed. Unlike hydrocarbon contamination, input of terrestrial organic matter (tracked by long-chain fatty alcohols) has increased throughout the late 20th century, documenting a shift in pollutant sources away from hydrocarbons and toward anthropogenic erosion of the region's soils.

In the absence of added electron donor, NO[sub3][sup-], Tc(Vll), and U(Vl) reduction was not detectable. However, in the presence of added ethanol, glucose, or acetate to serve as electron donor, rapid NO[sub3][sup-] utilization was observed. The accumulation of NO[sub2][sup-], the absence of detectable NH[sub4][sup+] accumulation, and the production of N[sub2]O during in situ acetylene-block experiments suggest that NO[sub3][sup-] was being consumed via denitrification. Tc(Vll) reduction occurred concurrently with NO[sub3][sup-] reduction, but U(Vl) reduction was not observed until two or more donor additions resulted in iron-reducing conditions, as detected by the production of Fe(ll). Reoxidation/ remobilization of U(lV) was also observed in tests conducted with high (∼120 mM) but not low (∼1 mM) initial NO[sub3][sup-] concentrations and not during acetylene-block experiments conducted with high initial NO[sub3][sup-]. These results suggest that NO[sub3][sup-]-dependent microbial U(IV) oxidation may inhibit or reverse U(Vl) reduction and decrease the stability of U(IV) in this environment Changes in viable biomass, community composition, metabolic status, and respiratory state of organisms harvested from down-well microbial samplers deployed during these tests were consistent with the conclusions that electron donor additions resulted in microbial growth, the creation of anaerobic conditions, and an increase in activity of metal-reducing organisms (e.g., Geobacter. The results demonstrate that it is possible to stimulate the simultaneous bioreduction of U(Vl) and Tc(Vll) mixtures commonly found with NO[sub3][sup-] co-contamination at radioactive waste sites.

JO - European Journal of Biochemistry JF - European Journal of Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 271 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 439 EP - 449 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00142956 AB - The chi (χ) and psi (ψ) subunits of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III form a heterodimer that is associated with the ATP-dependent clamp-loader machinery. In E. coli, the χ:ψ heterodimer serves as a bridge between the clamp-loader complex and the single-stranded DNA-binding protein. We determined the crystal structure of the χ:ψ heterodimer at 2.1 Å resolution. Although neither χ (147 residues) nor ψ (137 residues) bind to nucleotides, the fold of each protein is similar to the folds of mononucleotide-(χ) or dinucleotide-(ψ) binding proteins, without marked similarity to the structures of the clamp-loader subunits. Genes encoding χ and ψ proteins are found to be readily identifiable in several bacterial genomes and sequence alignments showed that residues at the χ:ψ interface are highly conserved in both proteins, suggesting that the heterodimeric interaction is of functional significance. The conservation of surface-exposed residues is restricted to the interfacial region and to just two other regions in the χ:ψ complex. One of the conserved regions was found to be located on χ, distal to the ψ interaction region, and we identified this as the binding site for a C-terminal segment of the single-stranded DNA-binding protein. The other region of sequence conservation is localized to an N-terminal segment of ψ (26 residues) that is disordered in the crystal structure. We speculate that ψ is linked to the clamp-loader complex by this flexible, but conserved, N-terminal segment, and that the χ:ψ unit is linked to the single-stranded DNA-binding protein via the distal surface of χ. The base of the clamp-loader complex has an open C-shaped structure, and the shape of the χ:ψ complex is suggestive of a loose docking within the crevice formed by the open faces of the δ and δ′ subunits of the clamp-loader.

Of particular concern is the radiation from highly energetic, heavy, charged particles known as HZE particles. The objective of the present study was to characterize HZE particle radiation-induced adverse biological effects and evaluate the effect of d-selenomethionine (SeM) on the HZE particle radiation-induced adverse biological effects. The results showed that HZE particle radiation can increase oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, and cell transformation in vitro, and decrease the total antioxidant status in irradiated Sprague–Dawley rats. These adverse biological effects were all preventable by treatment with SeM, suggesting that SeM is potentially useful as a countermeasure against space radiation-induced adverse effects. Treatment with SeM was shown to enhance ATR and CHK2 gene expression in cultured human thyroid epithelial cells. As ionizing radiation is known to result in DNA damage and both ATR and CHK2 gene products are involved in DNA damage, it is possible that SeM may prevent HZE particle radiation-induced adverse biological effects by enhancing the DNA repair machinery in irradiated cells.

JO - Genes & Development JF - Genes & Development Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 170 EP - 183 SN - 08909369 AB - Chromatin assembly is required for the duplication of chromosomes. ACF (ATP-utilizing chromatin assembly and remodeling factor) catalyzes the ATP-dependent assembly of periodic nucleosome arrays in vitro, and consists of Acf1 and the ISWI ATPase. Acf1 and ISWI are also subunits of CHRAC (chromatin accessibility complex), whose biochemical activities are similar to those of ACF. Here we investigate the in vivo function of the Acf1 subunit of ACF/CHRAC in Drosophila. Although most Acf1 null animals die during the larval-pupal transition, Acf1 is not absolutely required for viability. The loss of Acf1 results in a decrease in the periodicity of nucleosome arrays as well as a shorter nucleosomal repeat length in bulk chromatin in embryos. Biochemical experiments with Acf1-deficient embryo extracts further indicate that ACF/CHRAC is a major chromatin assembly factor in Drosophila. The phenotypes of flies lacking Acf1 suggest that ACF/CHRAC promotes the formation of repressive chromatin. The acf1 gene is involved in the establishment and/or maintenance of transcriptional silencing in pericentric heterochromatin and in the chromatin-dependent repression by Polycomb group genes. Moreover, cells in animals lacking Acf1 exhibit an acceleration of progression through S phase, which is consistent with a decrease in chromatin-niediated repression of DNA replication. In addition, acf1 genetically interacts with nap1, which encodes the NAP-1 nucleosome assembly protein. These findings collectively indicate that ACF/CHRAC functions in the assembly of periodic nucleosome arrays that contribute to the repression of genetic activity in the eukaryotic nucleus.

However, these models do not uniquely describe experimental data unless some additional insight into actual binding mechanisms for a given system is available. This paper presents the results of applying the MUlti SIte Complexation or MUSIC model, coupled with a Stern-based three layer description of the electric double layer, to Ca2+ adsorption data on rutile surfaces from 25 to 250°C in 0.03 and 0.30 m NaCl background electrolyte. Model results reveal that the tetradentate adsorption configuration found for Sr2+ adsorbed on the rutile (110) surface in the in situ X-ray standing wave experiments of provides a good fit to all Ca2+ adsorption data. Furthermore, it is also shown that equally good fits result from other plausible adsorption complexes, including various monodentate and bidentate adsorption configurations. These results amply demonstrate the utility of in situ spectroscopic data to constrain surface complexation modeling, and the ability of the MUSIC model approach to accommodate this spectroscopic information. Moreover, this is the first use of any surface complexation model to describe multivalent ion adsorption systematically into the hydrothermal regime.

Other natural boundary conditions included variable flow velocity and undersaturation of seawater with respect to the hydrate-forming species. Four cylindrical test specimens of pure, polycrystalline CH4 and CO2 hydrate were grown and fully compacted in the laboratory, then transferred by pressure vessel to the seafloor (1028 m depth), exposed to the deep ocean environment, and monitored for 27 hours using time-lapse and HDTV cameras. Video analysis showed diameter reductions at rates between 0.94 and 1.20 μm/s and between 9.0 and 10.6 · 10−2 μm/s for the CO2 and CH4 hydrates, respectively, corresponding to dissolution rates of 4.15 ± 0.5 mmol CO2/m2s and 0.37 ± 0.03 mmol CH4/m2s. The ratio of the dissolution rates fits a diffusive boundary layer model that incorporates relative gas solubilities appropriate to the field site, which implies that the kinetics of the dissolution of both hydrates is diffusion-controlled. The observed dissolution of several mm (CH4) or tens of mm (CO2) of hydrate from the sample surfaces per day has major implications for estimating the longevity of natural gas hydrate outcrops as well as for the possible roles of CO2 hydrates in marine carbon sequestration strategies.

A central objective was further mechanistic understanding of the surface-barrier effect that has previously been shown to limit H release during postgrowth thermal activation of H-passivated Mg acceptors. Ambient [sup 1]H[sub 2] or [sup 2]H[sub 2] was found to accelerate the removal of the other isotope by orders of magnitude, consistent with recombinative desorption of H[sub 2] being rate limiting. The results agree closely with a predictive model describing the interrelated behaviors of H within the semiconductor and on the surface. The saturation concentration of H decreased during the heat treatments, presumably indicating a reduction in the effective level of p-type doping, which is provisionally ascribed to compensation by N vacancies. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The calculations use the recently developed Lakin–Troya–Schatz–Harding (LTSH) ground electronic state potential energy surface, along with a modified surface developed for this study (mod-LTSH), in which the reactant channel well is removed. Our results show that there can be significant differences between the QM and QCT descriptions of the reaction for ground-state reactants and for energies important to the thermal rate constants. Zero-point energy violation plays an important role in the QCT results, and as a result, the QCT reaction probability (for ground-state reactants and zero impact parameter) is much higher than its QM counterpart at moderate to low reagent translational energies. The influence of the reactant channel well in the QCT results is to enhance reactivity at moderate energies and to suppress reactivity at the very lowest collision energies. The QM results also show the enhancement at moderate energies but, while the very lowest translational energies cannot be adequately converged, they do not indicate any tendency toward suppression as energy is reduced. QCT calculations for excited rotational states of the reactants show that the suppression of reactivity associated with the reactant channel well is less important when the reactants are rotating, and as a result, the influence of the reactant channel well on the thermal rate coefficients is relatively small, being important below 200 K. Our results indicate that there still remain important discrepancies between experiment and theory in this low temperature regime and that further improvements of the potential are needed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The data show that water adsorbed on a clean Pt(111) surface undergoes a structural transition from a random distribution to clustered islands near 60 K. The initial helium scattering cross sections as a function of temperature are found to be insensitive to the incident H[sub 2]O flux over a range of 0.005 monolayers (ML)/s–0.55 ML/s indicating that the clustering process is more complex than simple surface diffusion. The coarsening process of an initially random distribution of water deposited at 25 K is found to occur over a broad temperature range, 60E>0.1 MeV). Irradiation of LCAC molybdenum at nominal temperatures of 935–1100 °C produced only moderate changes in tensile strength, tensile elongation, and no change in the ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) as inferred from tensile fracture surfaces. Irradiation of LCAC molybdenum at either 270 or 605 °C resulted in a significant increase in yield strength, a decrease in tensile elongation, and an increase in DBTT. This behavior is characteristic of that reported for pure molybdenum following irradiation at temperatures <800 °C. The use of arc-cast processing, a low oxygen content, and high carbon to oxygen ratio to produce the LCAC molybdenum used in this work results in strong grain boundaries that are not the preferred fracture path.

The efficacy of comparing torsion and tensile data using the Von Mises criteria (distortion energy theory of yielding) is clearly shown by numerous examples. Delta also follows the Hall–Petch relationship. A reasonably self-consistent set of mechanical properties, i.e., hardness, strength, ductility, creep, and fatigue, are presented; these data (and other information) were used by Los Alamos to benchmark a new constitutive model for delta. The agreement with mechanical property data of other FCC metals is extremely good. Further work in the area of dynamic restoration processes at elevated temperature is suggested. The fairly new high-quality TEM work on delta continues to be another rich area for further research, especially as related to looking at aging effects in delta.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 108 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 425 EP - 431 SN - 10895639 AB - N-Hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and its derivatives, such as 3-F-NHPI, 4-Me-NHPI, N-acetoxyphthalimide, and N,N-dihydroxypyromelitimide, were used as promoters with Co(OAc)2 catalyst for the autoxidation of p-xylene (pX) and other methyl arenes. All the promoters gave acceptable rates and yields of terephthalic acid. The initial reaction rates, measured by the rate of oxygen uptake, were analyzed by a rate equation in terms of [pX], [Co(II)], and [NHPI]. The metal cocatalysts Mn(II) and Ce(III) accelerated the reaction significantly at millimolar concentrations. The reaction occurs by a chain mechanism that involves formation of the phthalimide N-oxyl radical, PINO• (that is, R2NO•), which abstracts a hydrogen atom from the methyl group of p-xylene to form the carbon-centered radical ArCH2•. In a stepwise fashion, the sequence progresses through alcohol, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid; at each stage, C-H abstraction by PINO• is involved. A significant kinetic isotope effect on the overall oxidation of p-xylene was found, vi(H)/vi(D) = 3.4. The activity of the substituted NHPI promoters follows the order NHPI > 3-F-NHPI > 4-Me-NHPI, which can be interpreted in terms of kinetic stability of the corresponding PINO radical.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 108 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 432 EP - 437 SN - 10895639 AB - The shock tube technique with D- and H-atom atomic resonance absorption spectrometric (ARAS) detection has been used to measure rate constants for two isotopic modifications of the most fundamental chemical reaction, H + H2 → H2 + H: D + H2 → HD + H (1) and H + D2 → HD + D (2). Hydrogen atoms were produced from the thermal decomposition of either C2D5I or C2H5I. Ethyl iodide decomposition above ~1150 K is fast, and the product ethyl radicals decompose even faster, giving ethylene and hydrogen atoms. This clean source of atoms then allows for first-order analysis of both reactant and product hydrogen atoms for determining rate constants. The rate constant results can be described by the Arrhenius expressions k1 = 3.17 × 10-10 exp(-5207K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1, over the temperature range 1166-2112 K, and k2 = 2.67 × 10-10 exp(-5945K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1, over the temperature range 1132-2082 K. These new results are compared to earlier results and supply additional values for evaluating the rate behavior for both reactions over the very large temperature range ~200-2200 K. These evaluations are then compared to recent quantum mechanical scattering calculations of the thermal rate behavior that are based on a new and quite accurate potential energy surface (i.e., globally accurate to ~0.01 kcal mol-1). Within experimental error, there is now complete convergence between the experimental evaluation and the new theory, bringing to completion a 75-year effort in chemical kinetics and dynamics. This is the first completely solved problem in chemical kinetics.

Calculated excitation energies corresponding to one- and two-photon-absorption maxima are found to be in excellent agreement with experiment. The evaluated two-photon-absorption cross sections agree with experimental data as well. We conclude that the TDDFT approach is a numerically efficient method for quantitative calculations of resonant nonlinear polarizabilities in large organic chromophores.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 108 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 908 EP - 917 SN - 15206106 AB - Air-fired barium titanate samples doped with cerium, neodymium, samarium, gadolinium, dysprosium, erbium, or ytterbium were examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Reducing atmosphere-fired europium-doped barium titanate was also investigated with EPR. Each dopant was studied in both Ba- and Ti-rich (Ba/Ti = 1.01, 0.99) samples. Point charge calculations were used to predict the EPR spectrum of each lanthanide in A- and B-sites. Different EPR spectra are expected for A- versus B-site substitution when Ce3+, Sm3+, Dy3+, and Yb3+ are the dopants. The experimentally observed Ba/Ti doping behavior of Ce3+ in BaTiO3 suggests that as a 3+ cation it is on the A-site. No EPR active signal was observed for Sm3+ in BaTiO3. Eu2+ and Gd3+, as previously discussed in the literature, were found to be an A-site dopant and amphoteric, respectively. Dy3+ was found to be a B-site dopant with an EPR signal intensity suggesting amphoteric behavior, whereas Yb3+ showed only B-site occupancy. Nd3+ and Er3+ could not easily be assigned to a particular site by EPR methods alone. We also discuss the lanthanide dopant's effect on the observed levels of titanium vacancies, barium vacancies, and Mn2+ impurities.

Microstructure of the alloy fabricated at 1150 °C consists of fine grains of γ and α2 phases in association with coarse grains of B2 (ordered bcc) phase. Metastable ω particles of ordered hexagonal phase were observed within some B2 grains. This alloy (containing metastable B2 phase) displayed a low-temperature superplastic behavior, i.e. a tensile elongation of 310% was obtained when the alloy was tested at 800 °C under a strain rate of 2×10−5 s−1. Microstructure of the alloy fabricated at 1250 °C consists of coarse grains of α2 phase and fine grains of γ and α2 phases. This alloy (containing no B2 phase) on the other hand displayed no low-temperature superplasticity, as recorded from the alloy fabricated at 1150 °C. A refined fully lamellar (FL) microstructure was successfully developed within the alloys fabricated at 1400 °C. The widths of γ lamellae are in a range between 100 and 350 nm and the widths of α2 lamellae are in a range between 10 and 50 nm. Solute effects on the creep resistance of refined FL-TiAl alloy were critically investigated.

Process inconsistencies arising from the use of these alloys are partly due to variations in the fraction solid due to temperature variations. Consequently, the process would be more robust if the alloys were tailored such that the fraction solid variation in the temperature range of operation was minimized. For this purpose, thermodynamic simulations have been carried out to determine the fraction solid and fraction solid variation of hypoeutectic aluminum–silicon alloys as a function of processing temperature, process temperature variation, and silicon and magnesium composition. The fraction solid variation is calculated over a composition range that includes A356 and 357 alloys, and alternate and more desirable fraction solids and alloy compositions that maximize the processing temperature window are suggested for SSM processing.

The amorphous gel films were dried at 300 °C for 30 s and then heat treated at 500 °C for 2 min in air in the reel-to-reel sol–gel set up with three-zones furnace. The calcined films were annealed at temperature range of 850 and 1150 °C for 10–30 min under two different atmospheres. It was found that cubic phase transformed to hexagonal structure up to 1000 °C. The textured films were grown onto the textured Ni tapes at 1150 °C for 10 min under 4% H2–Ar gas flow using modifying triethanol amin. ESEM images of Nd2O3 buffer layer showed crack-free, pinhole-free, dense and smooth microstructure.

Their structural and chemical evolution over pO2 range of 10−0.9 to 10−19 atm was investigated using in situ neutron diffraction at isothermal condition (∼900 °C). Neutron diffraction data were analyzed through Rietveld refinements. The following sequences of structural transformation from α-Fe2O3 hematite→(Fe,Co)-spinel→(Fe,Co)1−xO wustite→(Fe,Co)O rocksalt→γ-(Fe,Co)→α-(Fe,Co)→(γ-(Fe,Co)) were observed on the reduction of Fe&z.sbnd;Co&z.sbnd;O based ceramics. With the development of reduction at pO2 down to 10−15 atm, mixed valence (Fe2+ and Fe3+) spinel was first formed in Fe-excess (Fe, Co) spinel phases. The intermediate phases were usually Co-rich compared with their parent mixed oxide phases. Particularly, the initial metallic precipitate is Co-rich γ, independent of initial stoichiometry. Reduction kinetics at pO2 of ∼10−19 atm is extremely fast, but crystalline form and structural integrity are maintained. As crystal structures of the various involved phases are very similar, few structural blocks were disturbed as oxygen was released from the samples.

This paper presents a general formulation for computing rigorous explicit damping matrices for multiply connected, non-classically damped, coupled systems. The algorithm derived was based on a synthesis process developed by Hurty [AIAA J. 3 (4) (1965)], in which three different kinds of damping were utilized to describe the energy dissipation of the system. It was also shown that the system damping developed by the synthesis approach could reduce to damping formulations available in the literature such as those of Gupta et al. [Seismic response of non-classically damped systems. Nucl. Eng. Design, vol. 91, 1986] and Pajuhesh et al. [Determination of composite damping matrices. In: Proceedings on Fifth World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, vol. 1, 1973] when the same assumptions were applied for the interface connectivity. The method presented in this paper was used in developing the rigorous system matrices for the BNL solution to a set of benchmark problems analyzed in the NRC-BNL benchmark program for the evaluation of the state-of-the-art methods and computer programs for non-classically damped systems [Benchmark Program for the Evaluation of Methods to Analyze Non-Classically Damped Coupled Systems (2000)]. The details of the NRC-BNL benchmark program are presented in a companion paper [A NRC-BNL Benchmark Evaluation of Seismic Analysis Methods for Non-Classically Damped Coupled Systems (in press)].

The gaseous antiparticle spectrometer (GAPS) identifies antimatter through the characteristic X-rays emitted by antimatter when it forms exotic atoms in gases. The approach provides large area and field of view, and excellent background rejection capability. If the GAPS concept is successfully demonstrated, then it would be an ideal candidate for space-based, indirect dark matter searches. GAPS can detect antideuterons produced in neutralino annihilations. A modest GAPS experiment can detect the neutralino for all minimal SUSY models in which the neutralino mass is in the ∼50–350 GeV mass range. Underground searches, by contrast, are only sensitive to about 1/2 the SUSY parameter space in this mass range.

For NbTi, this parameterization has been very useful in the development of high Jc wires, where the n-value is regarded as an index of the filament quality. In copper-matrix wires with undistorted filaments, the n-value at 5 T is ∼40–60, and drops monotonically with increasing field. However, n can vary significantly in conductors with higher resistivity matrices and those with a low copper fraction. Usually high n-values are associated with unstable resistive behavior and premature quenching. The n-value in NbTi Rutherford cables, when compared to that in the wires is useful in evaluating cabling degradation of the critical current due to compaction at the edges of the cable. In Nb3Sn wires, n-value has been a less useful tool, since often the resistive transition shows small voltages ∼ a few μV prior to quenching. However, in “well behaved” wires, n is ∼30–40 at 12 T and also shows a monotonic behavior with field. Strain induced Ic degradation in these wires is usually associated with lower n-values. For high Tc multifilamentary wires and tapes, a similar power law often describes the resistive transition. At 4.2 K, Bi-2223 tapes as well as Bi-2212 wires exhibit n-values ∼15–20. In either case, n does not change appreciably with field. Rutherford cables of Bi-2212 wire show lower values of n than the virgin wire.

Frequently the latter factor is much more important than the cooling and the copper content. Superconductors with a broad transition are more stable and easier to control than the superconductors with a sharp transition, although the price for better stability might be somewhat lower operating current. The paper gives thermal equilibrium equations and stability criteria against small perturbations and determines the ultimate current that could be reached by a cable-in-conduit conductors depending on operating conditions. The effects of various factors (e.g., magnetic field profile, mass flow and smoothness of the transition to normal state) on the thermal equilibrium and ultimate current are studied and discussed.

The replica exchange molecular dynamics approach is used to generate these ensembles at 46 different temperatures ranging from 278 to 487 K. Each replica system is simulated in explicit solvent for a period of 10 ns/replica, for a total of 460 ns. In addition to alpha helices, poly proline II (PPII) structures were identified to occur significantly. At low T the alpha helical content is larger than the PPII content, but near 300 K the PPII population is larger. Below 300 K, the PPII population increases with T, but it decreases above 300 K. The alpha helical content decreases with temperature. At temperatures below 300 K, there is a PPII propagation free energy that enhances the formation of long segments of PPII structure. This propagation term is smaller than for alpha helices. PPII segments of length 8 or less are more likely to form than alpha helices of the same length. The obtained low propensity for the formation of PPII segments of length shorter than five suggest that the interactions are responsible for the formation of PPII structures require a PPII segment of at least four amino acids. Stretches of four consecutive amino acids in the PPII conformations are needed for the formation of a groove around the peptide backbone that is strongly hydrated. Water in this groove is delocalized along a channel formed by the peptide in the PPII conformation.

The sensitivity and specificity of this method are discussed, along with a case of blind test prediction. This method will provide a versatile tool for protein structure prediction and protein domain recognition complementary to existing tools that rely on sequence homology.

JO - Separation Science & Technology JF - Separation Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 39 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 321 EP - 339 SN - 01496395 AB - Polymer filtration (PF) uses a size-exclusion ultrafiltration membrane to retain higher molecular weight species while allowing the passage of smaller species through the membrane. Metal-ion separations from aqueous streams are accomplished with PF by using water-soluble chelating-polymers (WSCP), which are appropriately sized polymers that have covalently attached metal-binding ligands. In this study, a new WSCP was prepared by modifying polyethylenimine (PEI) through an amide linkage to attach 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalamide (TAM) groups that have high binding constants for high valent metal cations. The TAM ligand contains a dimethylethylenediamine side chain that was found to maintain polymer solubility throughout the working pH and ionic strength ranges studied. The new WSCP (designated PDT) showed selectivity for Pu(IV) over Am(III). For example, at pH 4.5, the distribution coefficient (D) was 1.6 × 103 for Am(III) (14% bound) and 1.3 × 106 for Pu(IV) (99.3% bound). The Pu(IV) D increased as a function of pH, and the highest D was 4.8 × 106 at pH 11.4, corresponding to 99.8% bound. Varying the PDT concentration from 0.1% to 0.001% had little effect on Pu(IV) D values. The high formation constant of the Pu(IV)-PDT complex appears to promote the oxidation of Pu(III) to Pu(IV), even in the presence of a high concentration of reductant, 0.25-M hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN). The same high formation constant allows the TAM-containing polymer to compete with plutonium polymer formation, as plutonium absorbed on the walls of a glass vessel dissolved after contacting it with PDT for 2 days.

JO - Synthetic Communications JF - Synthetic Communications Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 34 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 331 EP - 344 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 00397911 AB - The preparation of partial esters of methylenebisphosphonic acids has been of recent interest due to their potential therapeutic applications. This paper describes a convenient method to prepare symmetrical methylenebis(alkyl hydrogen phosphonates) by the selective cleavage of the corresponding methylenebis(dialkyl phosphonate) with refluxing morpholine. The effects of structural variations on the amine as well as the substrate have been investigated to understand the scope and limitations of this reaction. A superior approach to hindered bisphosphonic acid esters involves the cleavage of their dimethyl esters, 4, using morpholine. This method is also useful to access a number of C-alkyl dialkyl methylenebisphosphonic acids such as 6. This study clearly shows that cleavage with morpholine is convenient, inexpensive, and allows for the preparation of a variety of P,P′-disubstituted partial esters in good yields and high purity.

These films, grown on various substrates, show bright blue ‘edge’ emission accompanied by donor–acceptor pair emissions in the blue, green and red spectral regions. Red, green and blue emissions mixed together give a white color, with a color temperature between 2400 and 4500 K depending on a layer thickness and temperature. ZnSe grown by ALD is in consequence a promising material for the fabrication of semiconductor-based white light emitting thin film electroluminescence displays.

In measurements performed with a downward-looking spectrometer mounted on an aircraft platform, the effects of non-constant background radiance from the ground make it challenging to build automated classifiers for detecting an analyte of interest. Applying HP digital filtering to the spectra to remove background contributions is evaluated as a strategy to help improve classifier performance. This methodology is tested by building classifiers for detecting heated ethanol plumes released from a portable emission stack. The classifiers are trained with data collected on the ground with the spectrometer viewing the plumes against a synthetic backdrop designed to simulate a terrestrial radiance source. The resulting classifiers are tested with data collected by the same spectrometer mounted on an aircraft flying over the emission stack. Support vector machines are employed as a classification algorithm with HP filtered spectra used as input patterns. Butterworth filters are used to implement HP digital filtering, while Savitzky–Golay filters are used to implement SD filtering. Significant improvement in classification performance is achieved by use of the HP filters. Because of variation in backgrounds between the training and prediction data, the best classifier obtained with unfiltered spectra is unable to detect ethanol in 37% of the test cases. HP filtering of spectra with an optimized Butterworth filter (order 8, cutoff frequency 0.060) improves the prediction results, resulting in no missed ethanol detections and false positive rates of less than 0.4%.

Although apoA-I expression has been previously detected in the liver and intestine, we have discovered that the human apoA-I gene is also expressed in the heart. Using transgenic (Tg) mice generated with the human apoA-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster and Tg mice produced with just the 2.2 kb human apoA-I gene, we have detected significant levels of apoA-I expression in the heart. Furthermore, the detection of apoA-I expression in the hearts of human apoA-I Tg mice indicates that the minimal regulatory elements necessary for cardiac expression of the gene are located near its coding sequence. To determine if the apoA-I gene is also expressed in the human heart, similar analyses were performed, where apoA-I expression was found in both adult and fetal hearts. Furthermore in-depth investigation of the various regions of human and Tg mouse hearts revealed that the apoA-I mRNA was present in the ventricles and atria, but not in the aorta. In situ hybridization of Tg mouse hearts revealed that apoA-I expression was restricted to the cardiac myocyte cells. Finally, heart explants and cardiac primary culture experiments with Tg mice showed secretion of particles containing the human apoA-I protein, and metabolic labeling experiments have also detected a 28 kDa human apoA-I protein secreted from the heart. From these novel findings, new insights into the role and function of apoA-I can be extrapolated.

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy was used to examine the spectroscopic signatures of living mouse macrophage cells before and after activation. Cells were prepared as control samples, or activated with a combination of lipopolysaccharide and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and analyzed 21 h after treatment. Resulting ATR/IR spectra collected from the living cells were analyzed using principal components analysis (PCA) and other classification methods. Plotting the scores from the first two principal components against one another provides good separation between activated and control samples. Interpretation of the loadings plots indicated that cellular activation was associated with changes in nucleic acid, protein and lipid infrared bands. Spectral samples were used to develop classification models based on activation status. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) models were developed with 100% classification rates, using leave-one-out cross-validation procedures. Activated macrophages can be distinguished from macrophages in the resting state by their ATR spectroscopy biosignatures.

At optimized conditions, a 500-Å-thick silicon nitride film gives a nearly 100% surface coverage on a 100 nm scale object. H dilution dramatically increases the NH[sub 2] radicals in the process and leads to conformal films. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The Ni/SiC rectifiers show severe reaction of the contact after irradiation at the highest dose, badly degrading the forward current characteristics and increasing the on-state resistance by up to a factor of 6 after irradiation. By sharp contrast, the WSi[sub X]/SiC devices show little deterioration of the contact with the same conditions and changes in on-state resistance of <20%.

Through a combination of room temperature photoluminescence and atomic force microscopy we have characterized the quantum dots. We have determined the effect of growth rate, deposited thickness, hydride partial pressure, and temperature on QD energy levels. The window of thickness for QD formation is very small, about 3 A˚ of InAs. By decreasing the growth rate used to deposit InAs, the ground state transition of the QD is shifted to lower energies. The formation of optically active InAs QD is very sensitive to temperature. Temperatures above 500°C do not form optically active QDs. The thickness window for QD formation increases slightly at 480°C. This is attributed to the thermal dependence of diffusion length. The AsH3 partial pressure has a non-linear effect on the QD ground state energy.

The response of the scattering intensity to a wide range of conditions indicates that the AlN parasitic chemistry is considerably different from the corresponding GaN and InN chemistry. A simple CVD particle-growth mechanism is introduced that can qualitatively explain the observed particle size and yields a strong residence time dependence. We also used FTIR to directly examine the reactivity of the metalorganic precursors with NH3 in the 25–300°C range. For trimethylaluminum/NH3 mixtures a facile CH4 elimination reaction is observed, which also produces gas-phase aminodimethylalane, i.e. Al(CH3)2NH2. For trimethylgallium and trimethylindium the dominant reaction is reversible adduct formation. All of the results indicate that the AlN particle-nucleation mechanism is predominately of a concerted nature, while the GaN and InN particle-nucleation mechanisms involve homogeneous pyrolysis and radical chemistry.

Together with optimum substrate nitridation, the process resulted in AlN layers that had FWHM values of ∼350 and ∼550 arcsec for the (0 0 0 2) and (1 0 1¯ 2) rocking curves, respectively. While the films show excellent X-ray FWHM values, they often have poor morphology as well as small inversion domains spread throughout the film surface. A systematic study was initiated to understand the effect of substrate nitridation and the initial process conditions on the surface morphology and the structural properties. Using atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, it was found that the nitridation conditions as well as the initial deposition conditions result in a mixed polarity surface coverage of the substrate. It is possible to force the growth of predominately Al- or N-polarity AlN layers by choosing different initial growth conditions.

Single-junction metamorphic devices with 8% and 12%-In, GaInAs are grown on 100 mm dia. (0 0 1) Ge substrates and evaluated in comparison to approximately lattice-matched GaAs and Ga0.99In0.01As subcells. Layers are observed to be nearly 100% relaxed by high-resolution X-ray diffraction. Threading dislocation densities of ∼2×105 cm−2 in the 8%-In layers are observed by electron beam induced current and cathodoluminescence. Single-junction devices show a constant offset between open-circuit voltage and bandgap of ∼380 mV. Building upon these results, 3J metamorphic Ga0.44In0.56P/Ga0.92In0.08As/Ge solar cells are fabricated. Very high performances of small area devices are reported with 28.8% efficiency under the AM0 spectrum and 31.3% efficiency under the AM1.5G 1-sun terrestrial spectrum.

OMVPE of GaAsSbN using trimethylgallium, 100% arsine, trimethylantimony, and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine was found to be kinetically limited at growth temperatures ranging from 520°C to 600°C, with an activation energy of 10.4 kcal/mol. The growth rate was linearly dependent on the group III flow and has a complex dependence on the group V constituents. A room temperature photoluminescence wavelength of >1.3 μm was observed for unannealed GaAs0.69Sb0.3N0.01. Low temperature (4 K) photoluminescence of GaAs0.69Sb0.3N0.01 shows an increase in FWHM of 2.4–3.4 times the FWHM of GaAs0.7Sb0.3, a red shift of 55–77 meV, and a decrease in intensity of one to two orders of magnitude. Hall measurements indicate a behavior similar to that of InGaAsN, a 300 K hole mobility of 350 cm2/V-s with a 1.0×1017/cm3 background hole concentration, and a 77 K mobility of 1220 cm2/V-s with a background hole concentration of 4.8×1016/cm3. The hole mass of GaAs0.7Sb0.3/GaAs heterostructures was estimated at 0.37–0.40mo, and we estimate an electron mass of 0.2–0.3mo for the GaAs0.69Sb0.3N0.01/GaAs system. The reduced exciton mass for GaAsSbN was estimated at about twice that found for GaAsSb by a comparison of diamagnetic shift vs. magnetic field.

T1 - Explicit supersymmetry breaking on boundaries of warped extra dimensions JO - Nuclear Physics B JF - Nuclear Physics B Y1 - 2004/01/19/ VL - 677 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 87 SN - 05503213 AB - Explicit supersymmetry breaking is studied in higher-dimensional theories by having boundaries respect only a subgroup of the bulk symmetry. If the boundary symmetry is the maximal subgroup allowed by the boundary conditions imposed on the fields, then the symmetry can be consistently gauged; otherwise gauging leads to an inconsistent theory. In a warped fifth dimension, an explicit breaking of all bulk supersymmetries by the boundaries is found to be inconsistent with gauging; unlike the case of flat 5D, complete supersymmetry breaking by boundary conditions is not consistent with supergravity. Despite this result, the low energy effective theory resulting from boundary supersymmetry breaking becomes consistent in the limit where gravity decouples, and such models are explored in the hope that some way of successfully incorporating gravity can be found. A warped constrained standard model leads to a theory with one Higgs boson with mass expected close to the experimental limit. A unified theory in a warped fifth dimension is studied with boundary breaking of both SU(5) gauge symmetry and supersymmetry. The usual supersymmetric prediction for gauge coupling unification holds even though the TeV spectrum is quite unlike the MSSM. Such a theory may unify matter and Higgs in the same SU(5) hypermultiplet.

The present work employs a somewhat different version of the self consistent field (meanfield) approximation compared to the previous work on the same subject. Using this new approach, we are able to determine in general the asymptotic forms of the solutions, and in the case of one solution, even its exact form. This solution leads to formation of an unstable string, in agreement with the previous work. We also investigate and clarify questions related to Lorentz invariance and the renormalization of the solution.

Considering first spinodal instability within the general framework of thermodynamics, we discuss the intimate relationship between first-order phase-transitions and convexity anomalies in the thermodynamic potentials, clarify the relationship between mechanical and chemical instability in two-component systems, and also address finite systems. Then we analyze the onset of spinodal fragmentation by various linear-response methods. Using the Landau theory of collective modes in bulk matter as a starting point, we first review the application of mean-field methods for the identification of the unstable collective modes and the determination of their structure and the associated dispersion relations yielding their growth rates. Subsequently, the corresponding results for finite nuclei are addressed and, within the random-phase approximation, we establish the connection between unstable modes in dilute systems and giant resonances in hot nuclei. Then we turn to the temporal evolution of the unstable systems, discussing first how the dynamics changes its character from being initially linear towards being chaotic and then considering the growth of initially agitated instabilities within the framework of one-body dynamics. We review especially the body of work relating to the Boltzmann–Langevin model, in which the stochastic part of the residual two-body collisions provides a well-defined noise that may agitate the collective modes. We seek to assess the utility of various approximate treatments, including brownian one-body dynamics, and discuss the many possible refinements of the basic treatment. After these primarily formal or idealized studies, we turn to the applications to nuclear multifragmentation and review the various investigations of whether the bulk of the collision zone becomes spinodally unstable. Fragmentation studies with both many-body and stochastic one-body models are discussed and we address the emerging topic of isospin fractionation. We then make contact with experimental data which indicates that the spinodal region is being entered under suitable conditions and we discuss in particular recent results on multifragment size correlations that appear to present signals of spinodal fragmentation. It is demonstrated how various aspects of the data can be understood both qualitatively and quantitatively within the stochastic one-body framework, thus strongly suggesting that nuclear spinodal fragmentation indeed occurs. We finally outline perspectives for further advances on the topic and make connections to current progress on related issues.

The g-tensor principal axes are skewed with respect to the Fe-Fe and S-S atom direction in the 2Fe2S cluster, which is allowed by the lack of rigorous symmetry of the cluster. The asymmetric unit in the crystal is the active dimer, and the g-tensor axes have slightly different orientations relative to the iron-sulfur cluster in the two halves of the dimer. The g ∼ 1.79 axis makes an average angle of 30° with respect to the Fe-Fe direction and the g ∼ 2.024 axis an average angle of 26° with respect to the S-S direction. This assignment of the g-tensor axis directions indicates that conformations of the Rieske protein are likely the same in the cytochrome bc[sub1] and b[sub6]f complexes and that the extent of motion of the Rieske head domain during the catalytic cycle has been highly conserved during evolution of these distantly related complexes.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/01/20/ VL - 43 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 455 EP - 463 SN - 00062960 AB - Mutagenesis and cross-linking measurements have identified specific contact interactions between the cytosolic and the transmembrane sequences of phospholamban (PLB) and the Ca-ATPase, and in conjunction with the high-resolution structures of PLB and the Ca-ATPase, have been used to construct models of the PLB-ATPase complex, which suggest that PLB adopts a more extended structure within this complex. To directly test these predictions, we have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer to measure the average conformation and heterogeneity between chromophores covalently bound to the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of PLB reconstituted in proteoliposomes. In the absence of the Ca-ATPase, the cytosolic domain of PLB assumes a wide range of structures relative to the transmembrane sequence, which can be described using a model involving a Gaussian distribution of distances with an average distance (R[subav]) of less than 21 Å and a half-width (HW) of 36 Å. This conformational heterogeneity of PLB is consistent with the 10 structures resolved by NMR for the C41F mutant of PLB in organic cosolvents. In contrast, PLB bound to the Ca-ATPase assumes a unique and highly ordered conformation, where Ray = 14.0 ± 0.3 Å and HW = 3.7 ± 0.6 Å. The small spatial separation between the bound chromophores on PLB is inconsistent with an extended conformation of bound PLB in current models. Thus, to satisfy known interaction sites of PLB and the Ca-ATPase, these findings suggest a reorientation of the nucleotide binding domain of the Ca-ATPase toward the bilayer surface to bring known PLB binding sites into close juxtaposition with residues near the amino-terminus of PLB. Induction of an altered conformation of the nucleotide binding domain of the Ca-ATPase by PLB binding is suggested to underlie the reduced calcium sensitivity associated with PLB inhibition of the pump.

The link between the two methods is the Jacobian-vector product, which may be probed approximately without forming and storing the elements of the true Jacobian, through a variety of means. Various approximations to the Jacobian matrix may still be required for preconditioning the resulting Krylov iteration. As with Krylov methods for linear problems, successful application of the JFNK method to any given problem is dependent on adequate preconditioning. JFNK has potential for application throughout problems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations and integro-differential equations. In this survey paper, we place JFNK in context with other nonlinear solution algorithms for both boundary value problems (BVPs) and initial value problems (IVPs). We provide an overview of the mechanics of JFNK and attempt to illustrate the wide variety of preconditioning options available. It is emphasized that JFNK can be wrapped (as an accelerator) around another nonlinear fixed point method (interpreted as a preconditioning process, potentially with significant code reuse). The aim of this paper is not to trace fully the evolution of JFNK, nor to provide proofs of accuracy or optimal convergence for all of the constituent methods, but rather to present the reader with a perspective on how JFNK may be applicable to applications of interest and to provide sources of further practical information.

This analysis involves two steps: the recursive application of the LB equation and a Taylor series expansion. Unlike previous analytical studies of LB methods, the present work does not assume an asymptotic relationship between the temporal and spatial discretization parameters or between the probability distribution function, f, and its equilibrium distribution, feq. Effective finite difference stencils are derived for both the distribution function and the primitive variables, i.e., density and velocity. The governing partial differential equations are also recovered. The associated truncation errors are derived and the results are validated by numerical simulation of analytic flows. Analysis of the truncation errors elucidates the roles of the kinetic theory relaxation parameter, τ, and the discretization parameters, Δx and Δt. The effects of initial and boundary conditions are also addressed and are shown to significantly affect the overall accuracy of the method.

We examined the solvent and the ion distribution in the nanopore. We studied the conformational properties of the single-strand DNA and the dependence of the conformation on the diameter of the nanopore and on the length of the single-stranded DNA, and the interaction between the single-stranded DNA and the ions. We found that the ions in the nanopore show a preference to the centre of the pore. In addition, the sodium ions exhibit an oscillatory density distribution in the radial direction correlated with the density distribution of the water molecules. The end-to-end distance, and the orientation of the end-to-end vector of the single-stranded DNA are strongly affected by the confinement. The counter-ions adsorb strongly to the charged sites on the single-stranded DNA, most dominantly the backbone phosphate groups. There exists, however, substantial freedom for the counter-ion to desorb from the DNA.

Here we present results from screening 10 diverse compounds in 80 genome-wide experiments against the complete collection of heterozygous yeast deletion strains. These compounds include anticancer and antifungal agents, statins, alverine citrate, and dyclonine. In several cases, we identified previously known interactions; furthermore, in each case, our analysis revealed novel cellular interactions, even when the relationship between a compound and its cellular target had been well established. In addition, we identified a chemical core structure shared among three therapeutically distinct compounds that inhibit the ERG24 heterozygous deletion strain, demonstrating that cells may respond similarly to compounds of related structure. The ability to identify on-and-off target effects in vivo is fundamental to understanding the cellular response to small-molecule perturbants.

For relaxed clean W(1 0 0), the local density approximation (LDA) agrees with experiment better than the newer generalized gradient approximation, probably due to the surface electron self-energy. The large Ba metallic radius indicates it covers W(1 0 0) at about 0.5 monolayer (ML). However, Ba2+, O2−, and metallic W all have similar radii. Thus 1 ML of BaO (one BaO unit for each two W atoms) produces minimum strain, indicating commensurate interfaces. BaO (1 ML) and Ba (1/2 ML) have the same φ to within 0.02 V, so at these coverages reduction or oxidation is not important. Due to greater chemical activity of ScO vs. highly ionic BaO, when mixing the latter with this suboxide of scandia, the overlayer always has BaO as the top layer and ScO as the second layer. The BaO/ScO bilayer has a rocksalt structure, suggesting high stability. In the series BaO/ScO/, BaO/YO/, and BaO/LaO/W(1 0 0), the latter has a remarkably low φ of 1.3 V (LDA), but 2 ML of rocksalt BaO also has φ at 1.3 V. We suggest BaO (1 ML) does not exist and that it is worthwhile to attempt the direct synthesis and study of BaO (2 ML) and BaO/LaO.

Chronic exposures are being inferred from outdoor pollutant concentrations at neighborhood schools. This paper reports primarily weeklong integrated NO2 and NOX concentrations measured with passive samplers placed outside at 10 elementary schools during 14 weeks in spring and 8 weeks in fall 2001. Measurements were also made outside selected student residences to examine spatial variability within three school neighborhoods. Regional concentrations of NO2 and NOX varied widely from week to week. School site data were normalized to measurements at a nearby regional monitoring station to facilitate analysis of relative pollutant exposures at the neighborhood schools. Normalized concentrations were consistent at each school throughout the study. Schools located upwind or far downwind of freeways were generally indistinguishable from one another and regional pollution levels. For school and neighborhood sites within 350 m downwind of a freeway, concentrations increased with decreasing downwind distance. The highest normalized concentrations occurred at a school located directly adjacent to a major freeway and a shopping center. In this case, normalized NO2 and NOX were ∼60% and ∼100% higher than regional background levels. At three schools within 130–230 m downwind of a freeway, normalized NO2 and NOX were ∼20–30% and ∼50–80% higher than regional levels. Validation testing of the passive samplers indicated precision of better than 5% for both NO2 and NOX when samplers were deployed outside for 1-week periods. Passive sampler results agreed with co-located chemiluminescence measurements to within 8% for NO2 and 3% for NOX.

Superoxide radical has been linked to various disorders ranging in severity from inflammatory to neurodegenerative diseases. SOD protect organisms from the deleterious effects of superoxide and reactive oxygen species derived therefrom. Various Streptomyces species are known to produce nickel-dependent SOD (NiSOD), and more recently, genomic evidence for NiSOD has been found in cyanobacteria.

In micellar surfactant solutions, spherical dendritic metal nanostructures are obtained, and the smallest of these nanodendrites resemble assemblies of joined nanoparticles and the nanodendrites are single crystals. With liposomes as the template, dendritic platinum sheets in the form of thin circular disks or solid foamlike nanomaterials can be made. Synthetic control over the morphology of these nanodendrites, nanosheets, and nanostructured foams is realized by using a tin-porphyrin photocatalyst to conveniently and effectively produce a large initial population of catalytic growth centers. The concentration of seed particles determines the ultimate average size and uniformity of these novel two- and three-dimensional platinum nanostructures.

In determining cosmological and dark-energy parameters to the percentage level, systematic uncertainties impose a more severe floor on the accuracy than the statistical measurement precision. We delineate the categorization, simulation and understanding required to bound systematics for the specific case of the Type Ia supernova method. Using the simulated data of the forthcoming ground-based surveys and the proposed space-based Supernova/Acceleration Probe ( SNAP) mission we present Monte Carlo results for the residual uncertainties on the cosmological parameter determination. The tight systematics control with optical and near-infrared observations and the extended redshift reach allow a space survey to bound the systematics below 0.02 mag at . For a typical SNAP-like supernova survey, this keeps total errors within 15 per cent of the statistical values and provides estimation of to to 0.07 and w′ to 0.3; these can be further improved by incorporating complementary data.

It has been subject of thorough studies concerning its interaction with the circulating beam. In this paper, we present the numerical and experimental results of our investigation on an approximated geometry. We show that in the smooth transitions between pipes of different diameters a trapped mode may exist, both in the real and in the approximated geometry. In the real structure, the mode is weak and not harmful both for the beam stability and power loss.

Water from the SNO detector is passed through a vacuum degasser (in the light water system) or a membrane contact degasser (in the heavy water system) where dissolved gases, including radon, are liberated. The degasser is connected to a vacuum system which collects the radon on a cold trap and removes most other gases, such as water vapor and N2. After roughly 0.5 tonnes of H2O or 6 tonnes of D2O have been sampled, the accumulated radon is transferred to a Lucas cell. The cell is mounted on a photomultiplier tube which detects the α-particles from the decay of 222Rn and its progeny. The overall degassing and concentration efficiency is about 38% and the single-α counting efficiency is approximately 75%. The sensitivity of the radon assay system for D2O is equivalent to ∼3×10-15 g U/g water. The radon concentration in both the H2O and D2O is sufficiently low that the rate of background events from U-chain elements is a small fraction of the interaction rate of solar neutrinos by the neutral current reaction.

Previous computational studies on BNB, even those using highly correlated single reference-based methods, e.g., the CCSD(T) and BDT methods, suggested that the two BN bond lengths were unequal. In this paper, the BN(X [sup 3]Π)+B([sup 2]P[sub u]) potential energy curve is constructed using a state-averaged multireference-based correlated method (SA-CASSCF+PT2). The four lowest states of BN were included in the state averaging procedure. These calculations reveal no symmetry breaking along the antisymmetric stretching mode of the molecule. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Our understanding of these complex processes at the atomic level is provided by a few experimental and analytical methods such as X-ray absorption and NMR spectroscopies. However, due to complexities in the structure and composition of clay and other hydrated minerals, and the inherent uncertainties of the experimental methods, it is important to apply theoretical molecular models for a fundamental atomic-level understanding, interpretation, and prediction of these phenomena. In this effort, we have developed a general force field, CLAYFF, suitable for the simulation of hydrated and multicomponent mineral systems and their interfaces with aqueous solutions. Interatomic potentials were derived from parametrizations incorporating structural and spectroscopic data for a variety of simple hydrated compounds. A flexible SPC-based water model is used to describe the water and hydroxyl behavior. Metal-oxygen interactions are described by a Lennard-Jones function and a Coulombic term with partial charges derived by Mulliken and ESP analysis of DFT results. Bulk structures, relaxed surface structures, and intercalation processes are evaluated and compared to experimental and spectroscopic findings for validation. Our approach differs from most others in that we treat most interatomic interactions as nonbonded. This allows us to effectively use the force field for a wide variety of phases and to properly account for energy and momentum transfer between the fluid phase and the solid, while keeping the number of parameters small enough to allow modeling of relatively large and highly disordered systems. Simulations of clay, hydroxide, and oxyhydroxide phases and their interfaces with aqueous solutions combine energy minimization and molecular dynamics methods to describe the structure and behavior of water, hydroxyl, surface species, and intercalates in these systems. The results obtained to date demonstrate that CLAYFF shows good promise to evolve into a widely adaptable and broadly effective force field for molecular simulations of fluid interfaces with clays and other clay-related phases, as well as other inorganic materials characterized by complex, disordered, and often ill-determined structure and composition.

A well-constrained iron phase diagram, however, is essential to determine the temperatures at core boundaries and the crystal structure of the solid inner core. To date, the iron phase diagram at high pressure has been investigated experimentally through both laser-heated diamond-anvil cell and shock-compression techniques, as well as through theoretical calculations. Despite these contributions, a consensus on the melt line or the high-pressure, high-temperature phase of iron is lacking. Here we report new and re-analysed sound velocity measurements of shock-compressed iron at Earth-core conditions. We show that melting starts at 225 ± 3?GPa (5,100 ± 500?K) and is complete at 260 ± 3?GPa (6,100 ± 500?K), both on the Hugoniot curve-the locus of shock-compressed states. This new melting pressure is lower than previously reported, and we find no evidence for a previously reported solid-solid phase transition on the Hugoniot curve near 200?GPa (ref. 16).

JO - Oncogene JF - Oncogene Y1 - 2004/01/22/ VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 716 EP - 725 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 09509232 AB - Heterozygous mutations of the CEBPA gene are present in 5% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and often lead to the expression of an N-terminally truncated, 30?kDa isoform, C/EBPap30, from an internal translation start site. We have assessed the effect of C/EBPap30 on granulopoiesis utilizing C/EBPap30-ER, containing the estradiol receptor ligand-binding domain. In contrast to C/EBPa-ER, C/EBPap30-ER did not induce 32Dcl3 myeloid cell differentiation in IL-3. However, both isoforms, when expressed at high levels, were capable of inhibiting E2F activity in 32Dcl3 cells and of slowing their G1 to S progression. C/EBPap30 repressed expression of the endogenous G-CSF receptor several-fold. To facilitate investigation of the effect of C/EBPap30-ER on granulopoiesis downstream of G-CSF signalling, we coexpressed exogenous G-CSF receptor. C/EBPap30-ER/GR cells expressed several granulocytic markers in G-CSF and demonstrated nuclear maturation. Rat C/EBPa-ER and C/EBPap30-ER, expressed in 293T cells, bound the C/EBP site from the NE gene with similar affinity, as did human C/EBPa and C/EBPap30. In contrast, C/EBPap30 bound the C/EBP sites in the PU.1 or GR gene with 3-6-fold reduced affinity. Thus, the selective inhibition of GR expression by C/EBPap30-ER is due in part to its variable affinity for C/EBP sites.

T1 - MYCN-mediated regulation of the MRP1 promoter in human neuroblastoma. JO - Oncogene JF - Oncogene Y1 - 2004/01/22/ VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 753 EP - 762 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 09509232 AB - In the childhood cancer neuroblastoma (NB), the level of expression of the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1) gene is strongly correlated with expression of the MYCN oncogene in primary NB tumors, suggesting that MRP1 may be a target for MYCN-mediated gene regulation. In this study, we show that MYCN induction in human NB cells results in increased MRP1 mRNA and protein levels, which in turn is accompanied by increased drug resistance and enhanced MRP1-mediated drug efflux. Furthermore, luciferase activity from MRP1 promoter/luciferase gene reporter constructs was significantly increased in NB cells with exogenous overexpression of MYCN, whereas activity was decreased in NB cells stably transfected with MYCN-antisense vectors. Decreased luciferase activity was observed with promoter constructs that lacked one or two E-box sequences or had E-box double point mutations, while a truncated MRP1 promoter lacking all three E-boxes exhibited only basal levels of activity. Specific electrophoretic mobility shifts of MRP1 E-box sequences were detected with nuclear extracts from NB cells with MYCN overexpression, and complex formation was inhibited with the addition of antibodies directed against MYCN or MYC. These findings indicate that by interacting with E-box elements within the promoter, MYCN can upregulate MRP1 expression and modulate drug resistance in NB.Oncogene (2004) 23, 753-762. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1207151 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Oncogene JF - Oncogene Y1 - 2004/01/22/ VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 824 EP - 834 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 09509232 AB - We recently reported that two Chinese hamster mutants deficient in the RAD51 paralogs XRCC2 and XRCC3 show reduced radiosensitization after treatment with caffeine, thus implicating homology-directed repair (HDR) of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the mechanism of caffeine radiosensitization. Here, we investigate directly the effect of caffeine on HDR initiated by DSBs induced by a rare cutting endonuclease (I-SceI) into one of two direct DNA repeats. The results demonstrate a strong inhibition by caffeine of HDR in wild-type cells, and a substantial reduction of this effect in HDR-deficient XRCC3 mutant cells. Inhibition of HDR and cell radiosensitization to killing shows similar dependence on caffeine concentration suggesting a cause-effect relationship between these effects. UCN-01, a kinase inhibitor that effectively abrogates checkpoint activation in irradiated cells, has only a small effect on HDR, indicating that similar to radiosensitization, inhibition of checkpoint signaling is not sufficient for HDR inhibition. Recombination events occurring during treatment with caffeine are characterized by rearrangements reminiscent to those previously reported for the XRCC3 mutant, and immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrates significantly reduced formation of IR-specific RAD51 foci after caffeine treatment. In summary, our results identify inhibition of HDR as a significant contributor to caffeine radiosensitization.Oncogene (2004) 23, 824-834. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1207168 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This Letter provides theoretical arguments and lists experimental evidence that the observed jet quenching at RHIC is due to parton energy loss instead of hadron rescattering or absorption in a hadronic medium. These include: (1) hadron formation time based on the uncertainty principle, (2) pT dependence and (3) centrality dependence of the observed jet quenching, (4) jet-like leading hadron correlations (5) high-pT azimuthal anisotropy and (6) experimental data from Pb+Pb collisions at SPS and e+A collisions. Direct measurements of the parton energy loss in the direction of a triggered high-pT hadron and the medium modified fragmentation function on the back-side are proposed to further verify the partonic nature of the observed jet quenching. The importance of jet quenching studies at lower energies at RHIC is also discussed.

(2) Stodolsky''s proof that interference between states having different energies cannot be observed in realistic experiments. (3) The description of a pion decay at rest into an observed muon and unobserved neutrino as a “missing mass” experiment where coherence between different neutrino mass eigenstates is not observable.The known position in space of all realistic detectors is rigorously shown to provide the quantum-mechanical ignorance of the neutrino momentum needed to produce coherence between amplitudes from neutrino states with the same energy and different masses. Conditions are precisely formulated for the loss of coherence when mass eigenstate wave packets moving with different velocities separate. The example of Bragg scattering shows how quantum-mechanically imposed ignorance produces coherence.

The mirror-polished M2 substrates were treated by Cr+ ion etching/implantation followed by the deposition of a 0.25 μm thick CrN base layer. A 1.6 μm thick C/Cr multilayer coating was then deposited by non-reactive unbalanced magnetron sputtering while rotating the substrates in front of three graphite and one Cr targets. During the multilayer deposition, a bias potential between −65 and −95 V was applied to the substrates. The ion flux measured by a flat electrostatic probe was 1.2 mA cm−2 and the deposition rate was 0.4 μm h−1, which resulted in ion-to-neutral ratio of Ji/Jn=5.2. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy diffraction and Z-contrast imaging investigations revealed a novel nanostructure in which the basic nano-lamellae obtained as a result of substrate rotation in front of the C and Cr targets were modified by ion-irradiation-induced nanocolumnar structure. The intense ion-irradiation of the immiscible film components caused local enrichment of Cr and C that propagated in the growth direction resulting in Cr-rich nanocolumns separated by C-rich boundaries in an overall amorphous structure. Tribological studies of the composite C/Cr coatings were conducted using a pin-on-disk apparatus under a load of 5 N, at velocities of 0.13–0.15 m s−1 and for distances of ∼500 m in dry nitrogen (∼0% humidity) and open air (30% relative humidity). Results indicated that the C/Cr composite coatings provided friction coefficients of 0.7–0.8 in dry nitrogen, while the values were significantly lower in open air, 0.21–0.24, during sliding against both the coated and uncoated balls for coatings deposited at bias voltage of −75 V. The friction coefficient decreases to 0.16 when the bias voltage of −95 V was used.

The simulations showed that the initial portion of the transition at small penetration depths is essentially independent of the work hardening behavior because plastic deformation in the subsurface plastic zone is constrained by surrounding elastic material. This is a potentially useful result in that it implies that some material properties may be measured from the indentation load–displacement data without prior knowledge of the work hardening behavior. At larger depths, the constraint factor diverges and the indentation behavior becomes dependent on the work hardening characteristics. These observations serve to divide the elastic–plastic transition into elastically-dominated and plastically-dominated parts. Insights gained about the behavior are presented and discussed.

The method is based on indentation with spherical indenters in the elastic–plastic transition regime. Experiments were performed on 7 μm copper films and 5 μm chromium films deposited on (100) silicon substrates using indenters with radii of 30, 69 and 122 μm. The biaxial stresses in the films, which were controlled by processing, were verified by X-ray techniques. Nanoindentation measurement of the film stresses proved difficult due to practical considerations arising from surface roughness, substrate effects and problems in producing an appropriate reference specimen for comparison. Finite element simulations showed that the substrate problems can be alleviated by using an indenter with a radius of the order of (or smaller than) the film thickness. However, the other difficulties pose serious obstacles to the practical implementation of the method to thin film residual stress measurement.

Aluminum coatings with constant and variable cross-section profiles are useful for the evaluation of material behavior under extreme loading conditions, as for example under high strain rate. The synthesis of a variable cross-section with micron-scale design features in the as-deposited condition requires process innovation. It is now demonstrated that a 70-μm thickness gradient can be produced, from a 30 μm to a 100 μm plateau forming a wedge shape across a 800-μm path length, using a variable position shutter translated using a computer-controlled stepper motor. In addition, to deposit a desired grain size in the aluminum coatings first requires quantification of the established qualitative effects of time at temperature seen in growth models. An examination of the coating microstructure leads to a new quantitative result of a 0.41 eV·atom−1 activation energy for ideal-grain growth behavior over the micron-to-millimeter scale at temperatures of 260–540 °C.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/01/23/ VL - 279 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2825 EP - 2831 SN - 00219258 AB - Transcription initiation in all three domains of life requires the assembly of large multiprotein complexes at DNA promoters before RNA polymerase (RNAP)-catalyzed transcript synthesis. Core RNAP subunits show homology among the three domains of life, and recent structural information supports this homology. General transcription factors are required for productive transcription initiation complex formation. The archaeal general transcription factors TATA-element-binding protein (TBP), which mediates promoter recognition, and transcription factor B (TFB), which mediates recruitment of RNAP, show extensive homology to eukaryal TBP and TFIIB. Crystallographic information is becoming available for fragments of transcription initiation complexes (e.g. RNAP, TBP-TFB-DNA, TBP-TFIIB-DNA), but understanding the molecular topography of complete initiation complexes still requires biochemical and biophysical characterization of protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. In published work, systematic site-specific protein-DNA photocrosslinking has been used to define positions of RNAP subunits and general transcription factors in bacterial and eukaryal initiation complexes. In this work, we have used systematic site-specific protein-DNA photocrosslinking to define positions of RNAP subunits and general transcription factors in an archaeal initiation complex. Employing a set of 41 derivatized DNA fragments, each having a phenyl azide photoactivable crosslinking agent incorporated at a single, defined site within positions -40 to + 1 of the gdh promoter of the hyperthermophilic marine archaea, Pyrococcus furiosus (Pr), we have determined the locations of PfRNAP subunits PfTBP and PfTFB relative to promoter DNA. The resulting topographical information supports the striking homology with the eukaryal initiation complex and permits one major new conclusion, which is that PfTFB interacts with promoter DNA not only in the TATA-element region but also in the transcription-bubble region, near the transcription start site. Comparison with crystallographic information implicates the PfTFB N-terminal domain in the interaction with the transcription-bubble region. The results are discussed in relation to the known effects of substitutions in the TFB and TFIIB N-terminal domains on transcription initiation and transcription start-site selection.

This modification consists in replacing the Flory–Huggins activity coefficient by the spreading pressure dependent approach. This new model takes into account explicitly the adsorbate–adsorbate interactions taking place in the adsorbed phase. It provides an excellent prediction of the competitive, ternary adsorption equilibrium of benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol and 2-methyl benzyl alcohol observed in a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic system using information merely derived from the single-component adsorption experimental data.

This method offers an economic and fast isotherm determination by means of the overloaded band profiles of the compounds. Five out of the ten columns used in this test come from the same batch whilst the other five columns represent five additional batches. Statistical evaluation was used to assess the reproducibility of the isotherm parameters. We found that the column-to-column reproducibility of the isotherm parameters is of the same magnitude as the batch-to-batch reproducibility (with the exception of one outlier column). In most of the cases, the reproducibilities of the saturation capacities and that of the retention factors are excellent, they are typically between 1.2 and 3%, and very often below 2%. Within the limits of the experimental precision, these results agree with those obtained earlier, using a conventional method of isotherm determination.

The spatial and energy distributions of optically active excitons were determined by measuring photoluminescence as a function of temperature and laser excitation and were used as thermodynamic quantities to construct the phase diagram of the exciton system, which demonstrates the existence of distinct phases. Under- f: standing the formation mechanisms of these degenerate exciton systems can open new opportunities for the realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in the solid state.

T1 - A comparison between conventional and ultrasound-mediated heterogeneous catalysis: hydrogenation of 3-buten-1-ol aqueous solutions JO - Journal of Catalysis JF - Journal of Catalysis Y1 - 2004/01/25/ VL - 221 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 347 SN - 00219517 AB - A power flow scheme applicable to probe-type ultrasound reactors is presented, that has been deduced from both theoretical estimates and experimental measurements employing a thermal insulated vessel. Under typical conditions for water at 1 atm pressure, 77% of the electrical power is converted into mechanical motion of the probe, that in turn is dissipated to both acoustic power (∼12%) and cavitational heating (∼88%). Approximately 92% of the mechanical power of the probe was converted into heat, with the remaining power presumably converted into audible acoustic and/or mechanical motion. In a second type of experiment performed here, heterogeneous catalysis experiments have been performed at 298 K in an isothermal (i.e., jacketed) reaction vessel comparing chemistry in conventional (e.g., thermal) versus ultrasound-assisted systems. Both product state distribution and reaction rate measurements have been performed for the hydrogenation (using hydrogen gas) of aqueous 3-buten-1-ol solutions employing Pd-black powder. Products from the heterogeneous catalysis include isomerization to cis- and trans-2-buten-1-ol, as well as hydrogenation to 1-butanol. A reaction scheme involving surface-bound alkyl-radical species, consistent with previous published work, is proposed to explain product formation. Based on the observed differences in cis- to trans-2-buten-1-ol ratios in conventional versus ultrasound experiments, employing untreated and prereduced catalysts, it has been determined that ultrasound creates catalyst site(s) enhancing the cis-to-trans 2-buten-1-ol ratio from 0.25 to 0.55. In addition, comparing the total isomerization to hydrogenation ratio (cis- plus trans-2-buten-1-ol to 1-butanol ratio), for ultrasound-assisted and conventional catalysis, reveal a ∼5-fold enhancement in isomerization relative to the more energetically favored hydrogenation due to the application of ultrasound. Finally, the product formation rates for 1-butanol, as well as isomerization plus hydrogenation, revealed that conventional and ultrasound experiments showed both a nonlinear dependence with applied ultrasound power and no differences between untreated and prereduced catalysts. The observed reaction rate enhancements were 1:36:183 for the conventional, 90 W ultrasound, and 190 W ultrasound experiments, respectively.

Dehydrogenation rates and selectivities on these catalysts were compared with those on vanadia domains dispersed on alumina. At a given vanadia surface density, ODH reaction rates per gram of catalyst were about 1.5–2 times greater on MoOx-coated Al2O3 than on pure Al2O3 supports. The higher activity of vanadia dispersed on MoOx-coated Al2O3 reflects the greater reducibility of VOx species as a result of the replacement of V&z.sbnd;O&z.sbnd;Al with V&z.sbnd;O&z.sbnd;Mo bonds. The MoOx interlayer also increased the alkene selectivity by inhibiting propane and propene combustion rates relative to ODH rates. This appears to reflect a smaller number of unselective V2O5 clusters when alkoxide precursors are used to disperse vanadia on MoOx/Al2O3 as compared to the use of metavanadate precursor to disperse vanadia on pure Al2O3. At 613 K, the ratio of rate coefficients for propane combustion and propane ODH was three times smaller on MoOx/Al2O3 than on Al2O3 supports. The ratio of rate constants for propene combustion and propane ODH decreased by a similar factor.

Of these usual parameters, precursor types, solvents, chelating agents, and annealing conditions were chosen to prepare LZO solutions. This effect on epitaxial growth of LZO of these processing and texturing parameters was evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), environment scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and orientation imaging microscope (OIM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and X-ray pole figure analysis. Based on the following results, we have found textured, homogenous, dense, crack free and pinhole free, LZO films with a strong c-axis orientation on textured Ni tapes by post-annealing at 1150 °C for 10 min under 4% H2–Ar gas flow.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/01/26/ VL - 84 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 481 EP - 483 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - An extended x-ray absorption fine structure technique has been employed to probe the average local structure around Mn impurity atoms in (In,Mn)As thin films prepared by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. These films show ferromagnetism above room temperature. As the concentration of Mn increases, the average local environment surrounding Mn changes from that of a Mn–Mn interstitial pair to a dimer, trimer, or cubic MnAs structure and then to the hexagonal MnAs structure/interstitial pair. In contrast to random substitution, the Mn impurity atoms in these dimer, trimer, or cubic MnAs structure occupy adjacent sites in the In sublattice. Ferromagnetism above room temperature in these ordered substitutional samples provides an excellent example for ferromagnetic exchange interaction in (In,Mn)As diluted magnetic semiconductors without the formation of hexagonal MnAs clusters, this is potentially very important for spintronic applications. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Results suggest significant mass transport of mainly the large-sized component (InAs) from the In[sub 0.53]Ga[sub 0.47]As substrate to InAs quantum dots, an unexpected process that increases the system strain energy. The amount of the transported mass increases with quantum dot size. Two monolayers of GaAs inserted between InAs islands and the InGaAs substrate appears to block or at least effectively slow down this mass transport process. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

High-resolution x-ray diffraction was used to measure the strain of the PST thin film. A rocking curve with full width at half maximum of ∼0.04° illustrated that the film had nearly perfect single-crystalline quality. Reciprocal space maps around the (001), (103), and (013) reflections of the PST film revealed anisotropic in-plane strain of 485 ppm along [100] and 26 ppm along [010], respectively. Coplanar capacitance measurements also showed systematic changes in the dielectric constant and tunability due to strain; about a 15% difference in tunability at surface field of 50 kV/cm and a 20% difference in the zero-field dielectric constant were observed along [100] and [010], respectively. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It has been reported that deformation twinning in coarse-grained copper occurs only under high strain rate and/or low-temperature conditions. Furthermore, reducing grain sizes has been shown to suppress deformation twinning. Here, we show that twinning becomes a major deformation mechanism in nanocrystalline copper during high-pressure torsion under a very slow strain rate and at room temperature. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy investigation of the twinning morphology suggests that many twins and stacking faults in nanocrystalline copper were formed through partial dislocation emissions from grain boundaries. This mechanism differs from the pole mechanism operating in coarse-grained copper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

For the case studied with average grain size of 12 nm, low-angle boundaries present enhanced dislocation activity and reduced strength with respect to high-angle boundaries for low strains. In the latter, most of the deformation is accommodated at the grain boundaries with limited dislocation activity, while in the case of low-angle boundaries, most of the displacements observed are associated with the motion of partial dislocations nucleated at the grain boundaries. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The mobilities are relatively constant with varying drift fields in the three nonpolar gases, but increase significantly with increasing drift field in water vapor, demonstrating the large difference between polar and nonpolar interaction potentials on the mobility of t-C4H9+. The results are compared to locked–dipole calculations. The relevance towards better modeling of hypersonic combustion and ion-injection processes is also discussed.

An improved synthesis of 2 from [2.2]paracyclophane also is reported. BPPc (3a): monoclinic, P21/c, a = 8.2238(11) Å, b = 15.336(2) Å, c = 8.4532(11) Å, β = 98.578(3)°, V = 1054.2(2) ų, Z = 2. To investigate the binding properties of the bisdiimino[2.2]paracyclophane ligands, binuclear rhenium(I) tricarbonyl chloride complexes [Re(CO)3CI]2(μ-BPPc) (5a) and [Re(CO)3CI]2(μ-BmPPc) (5b) were prepared and fully characterized by infrared spectroscopy, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Two model complexes, Re(tolyl-pyCa)(CO)3CI (4) (tolyl-pyCa = N-(p-tolyl)-2-pyrodinecarboxaldimine) and [Re(CO)3CI]2(μ-PBP) (6) (PBP = p-phenylenebis(picolinaldimine)), also are reported. The dimeric compounds 5 and 6 each undergo two one-electron, predominantly diimine-centered reduction processes. Spectroscopic data and comproportionation constants (5a, 23 ± 9; 5b, 23 ± 9; 6, 2750 ± 540) are consistent with relatively weak interactions between the diimine groups mediated by the paracyclophane bridging group, and these results are consistent with steric and electronic factors.

We here report the facile synthesis of novel spirotricyclic cyclotriphosphazenes N3P3(MeNC2H4NMe)2L2, N3P3(/PrNC2H4M/Pr)2L2, and N3P3(o-O2C12H8)2L2 that enables different substituents to be incorporated into the ligand system. This synthetic approach allows for control over the solubility and steric requirements of the exocyclic bidentate substituents, as well as the donor type and denticity of the coordination sites.

In addition, new results have been obtained for the isomer ratios of the 58Ni(n, p)58m+gCo, the 60Ni(n, p)60m+gCo and 59Co(n, 2n)58m+gCo reactions.Detailed model calculations were undertaken to study the systematics of (n,xp) reactions on Ni isotopes and the use of the measured isomer ratios for the determination of the effective moment of inertia in the level density expression. Good overall agreement was obtained and, in particular, the case of the 58Ni target isotope now shows a complete physically consistent database that is ideal to test model calculations. The difference in spin between isomer and ground state of ΔJ=3 for the 58Co and 60Co residual nuclei results in a sensitivity to the spin dependence of the level density in these nuclei. However, at present, measurement uncertainties and uncertainties associated with the decay schemes preclude a definitive conclusion about the appropriate value of the effective moment of inertia. A comparison was made between a locally optimized parameter set based on all available data and a global approach. This approach allowed to identify where problems with the global approach can be expected. The locally optimized parameter set includes for the first time gamma-ray strength-functions based on an improved systematics of the gamma-ray widths.

We focus on vertical stress profiles and examine how they change with dimensionality. We compare results for packings in 2D, quasi-2D packings between flat plates, and 3D packings. Analysis of these packings suggests that the Janssen theory does not fully describe these packings, especially at the top of the piles, where a hydrostaticlike region of vertical stress is visible in all cases. We find that the interior of the packing is far from incipient failure, while, in general, the forces at the walls are close to incipient failure.

The metals, Ma, that were combined with plutonium to synthesize oxide cluster ions were cerium, lanthanum, uranium, strontium, and zirconium. The compositions and abundances of the clusters formed are interpreted in the context of the relative oxidation state stabilities of the constituent metals, and comparison is made between the gas-phase clusters and solid state oxides. Plutonium combined readily with cerium and uranium to form ternary oxide clusters; this reflects the redox compatibility of plutonium with these two elements and is reminiscent of their solid state behaviors. Although smaller quantities of LaXPuYOZ+, SrXPuYOZ+, and ZrXPuYOZ+ clusters were formed, their compositions and abundances revealed the relative redox characteristics of the metal pairs, La/Pu, Sr/Pu and Zr/Pu. It was possible to assign confidently oxidation states to the component metals for several oxide clusters. Our results demonstrate the value of elementary clusters for elucidating plutonium chemistry, and extending the fundamental understanding of the chemical nature of its materials chemistry.

Nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) have received considerable attention for their size-tunable optical and electronic properties. The most successful method to realize the potential of NQDs as the active medium in optical devices, utilizes a ligand-exchange approach to integrate NQDs into a titania network. The nanocomposite materials are extremely stable, have excellent optical quality, and demonstrate strong nonlinear optical performance, amplified spontaneous emission, and lasing.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/01/28/ VL - 126 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 834 EP - 843 SN - 00027863 AB - Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to calculate accurate enthalpies of formation and adiabatic electron affinities or ionization potentials for N[sub3], N[sub3]-, N[sub5]+, and N[sub5]- from total atomization energies. The calculated heats of formation of the gas-phase molecules/ions at 0 K are δ-H[subf](N[sub3]([sup2]&pie;)) = 109.2, δ-H[subf](N[sub3]-([sub1]&radic[sup+])) = 47.4, DeltaH[subf](N[sub5]-([sup1]A[sub1])) = 62.3, and δ-H[subf](N[sub5]+([sup1]A[sub1])) = 353.3 kcal/mol with an estimated error bar of ±1 kcal/mol. For comparison purposes, the error in the calculated bond energy for N[sub2] is 0.72 kcal/mol. Born-Haber cycle calculations, using estimated lattice energies and the adiabatic ionization potentials of the anions and electron affinities of the cations, enable reliable stability predictions for the hypothetical N[sub5]+N[sub3]- and N[sub5]-N salts. The calculations show that neither salt can be stabilized and that both should decompose spontaneously into N[sub3] radicals and N[sub2]. This conclusion was experimentally confirmed for the NCN3 salt by low-temperature metathetical reactions between N[sub5]SbF[sub6] and alkali metal azides in different solvents, resulting in violent reactions with spontaneous nitrogen evolution. It is emphasized that one needs to use adiabatic ionization potentials and electron affinities instead of vertical potentials and affinities for salt stability predictions when the formed radicals are not vibrationally stable. This is the case for the N[sub5] radicals where the energy difference between vertical and adiabatic potentials amounts to about 100 kcal/mol per N[sub5].

It is shown that the two negative charges are solvated in the linear suberate alternately. As the solvent number increases, the negative charges are screened and a conformation change occurs at 16 waters, where the cooperative hydrogen bonding of water is large enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion and pull the two negative charges closer through a water bridge. This conformation change, revealed both from the experiment and from the simulation, is a manifestation of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic forces at the molecular level.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/01/28/ VL - 126 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 891 EP - 899 SN - 00027863 AB - All major properties of the aqueous hyponitrite radicals (ONNO[sup-] and ONNOH), the adducts of nitric oxide (NO) and nitroxyl ([sup3]NO[sup-] and [sup1]HNO), are revised. In this work, the radicals are produced by oxidation of various hyponitrite species in the 2-14 pH range with the OH, N[sub3], or SO[sup-,sub4] radicals. The estimated rate constants with OH are 4 × 10[sup7], 4.2 × 10[sup9], and 8.8 ×10[sup9] M[sup-1] s[sup-1] for oxidations of HONNOH, HONNO[sup-], and ONNO[sup2-], respectively. The rate constants for N[sub3] + ONNO[sup2-] and SO[sup-,sub4]] + HONNO[sup-] are 1.1 × 10[sup9] and 6.4 × 10[sup8] M[sup-1] s[sup-1], respectively. The ONNO[sup-] radical exhibits a strong characteristic absorption spectrum with maxima at 280 and 420 nm (ϵ[sub280] = 7.6 × 10[sup3] and ϵ[sub420] = 1.2 × 10[sup3] M[sup-1] cm[sup-1]). This spectrum differs drastically from those reported, suggesting the radical misassignment in prior work. The ONNOH radical is weakly acidic; its pK[suba] of 5.5 is obtained from the spectral changes with pH. Both ONNO[sup-] and ONNOH are shown to be over 3 orders of magnitude more stable with respect to elimination of NO than it has been suggested previously. The aqueous thermodynamic properties of ONNO[sup-] and ONNOH radicals are derived by means of the gas-phase ab initio calculations, justified estimates for ONNOH hydration, and its PK[suba]. The radicals are found to be both strongly oxidizing, E[supo] (ONNO[sup-]/ONNO[sup2-] = 0.96 V and E[supo]- (ONNOH, H[sup+]/HONNOH) = 1.75 V, and moderately reducing, E[supo](2NO/ONNO[sup-]) = -0.38 V and E[supo](2NO, H[sup+]/ONNOH) = -0.06 V, all vs NHE. Collectively, these properties make the hyponitrite radical an important intermediate in the aqueous redox chemistry leading to or originating from nitric oxide.

Three types of multiquark bound states are reviewed. A previous model-independent variational approach considers a tetraquark with two heavy antiquarks and two light quarks as a heavy antidiquark with the color field of a quark bound to the two light quarks with a wave function like that of a heavy baryon. Results indicate that a charmed-strange tetraquark c¯s¯ud or a bottom-strange tetraquark b¯s¯ud with this “baryionium-type” wave function is not bound, in contrast to “molecular-type” DK and BK wave functions. However, a charmed-bottom tetraquark c¯b¯ud might be bound with a very narrow weak decay mode. A “molecular-type” DB state can have an interesting Bcπ decay with a high energy pion.

The adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) technique involves preconcentration of the metal ions onto Ac-Phos SAMMS under an open circuit, then electrolysis of the preconcentrated species, followed by a square wave potential sweep towards positive values. Factors affecting the preconcentration process were investigated. The voltammetric responses increased linearly with the preconcentration time from 1 to 30 min or with metal ion concentrations ranging from 10 to 200 ppb. The responses also evolved in the same fashion as adsorption isotherm in the pH range of 2–6. The metal detection limits were 10 ppb after 2 min preconcentration and improved to 0.5 ppb after 20 min preconcentration.

Solutions are decomposed into additive components driven by pressure gradients and by shear stresses on the liquid/vapor interface. Speeds are computed numerically for meniscus contact angles ranging from 0° to 90°, arbitrary channel aspect ratios, and for wetting regimes ranging from liquid-full to nearly-dry corner flows. These numerical results are used to guide the development of several analytical expressions that apply in asymptotic limits of fluid depth and contact angle. The resulting asymptotes are then blended analytically to obtain relatively simple, accurate, and comprehensive expressions for the mean velocity.

The mutant (MDH-GOX2) is a fully active chimeric enzyme in which residues 177-215 of the membrane-bound MDH are replaced by residues 176-195 of glycolate oxidase from spinach. Both structures permit full tracing of the polypeptide backbone chain from residues 4-356, including a 4-residue segment that was disordered in an earlier study of the oxidized protein at 2.15 Å resolution. The structures of MDH-GOX2 in the oxidized and reduced states are virtually identical with only a slight increase in the bending angle of the flavin ring upon reduction. The only other structural changes within the protein interior are a 10° rotation of an active site tyrosine side chain, the loss of an active site water, and a significant movement of six other water molecules in the active site by 0.45 to 0.78 Å. Consistent with solution studies, there is no apparent binding of either the substrate, mandelate, or the oxidation product, benzoylformate, to the reduced enzyme. The observed structural changes upon enzyme reduction have been interpreted as a rearrangement of the hydrogen bonding pattern within the active site that results from binding of a proton to the N-5 position of the anionic hydroquinone form of the reduced flavin prosthetic group. Implications for the low oxidase activity of the reduced enzyme are also discussed.

This finding, coupled with the observation of Tc spectral lines in certain stars, shows that the majority of presolar SiC grains come from low-mass asymptotic giant branch stars, and that the amount of "Tc produced in such stars is insufficient to have left a detectable [sup99]Ru anomaly in early solar system materials.

Having successfully stabilized a region of bulk water in the center of a water slab, we were able to reproduce and further quantify the experimentally observed abundance of surface "acceptor-only" (19%) and "single-donor" (66%) moieties as well as substantial surface relaxation approaching the liquid-vapor interface. Examination of the orientational dynamics points to a faster relaxation in the interfacial region. Furthermore, the average value of the dipole decreases and the average value of the highest occupied molecular orbital for each water molecule increases approaching the liquidvapor interface. Our results support the idea that the surface contains, on average, far more reactive states than the bulk. Although the nature of bulk liquid water itself remains incompletely understood, there is a more pressing need to characterize water in more complex environments. In particular, the interfaces between liquid water and hydrophobic material or air engender important phenomena in biology (1-5) and atmospheric science (6, 7), respectively. These two interfaces seem to have much in common (7), and both are currently the subject of intense scrutiny.

The films were prepared from both oxide targets and from targets consisting of Cr metal and lanthanum and strontium fluorides. Subsequent anneal of the fluoride/metal composite films in humidified Ar produced an oxide film. Direct growth of the perovskite from oxide targets via sputtering was usually accompanied by second phases with Cr in valance states higher than 3+. Single-phase La–Sr–Cr–O films could not be prepared from a single oxide target electron beam evaporation. However, thick, stoichiometric films were prepared at 400 °C using an electron beam/thermal evaporation dual source method but inconsistently. Single-phase lanthanum chromate films, based on the limited results obtained in this work, could not be prepared using PLD from either oxide or fluoride precursors under conditions similar to those used in the other techniques. However, films prepared by the intermediate fluoride process via off-axis RF magnetron sputtering process produced high quality thin films with density, microstructure and phase purity very similar to bulk La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 using a film growth temperature as low as ambient (Tsub<100 °C). The deposition rate was typically low at approximately 1500 A˚/h. SEM analysis showed that the morphology of films produced via fluoride sputtering was nearly identical to bulk La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 prepared by sintering ceramic powders at 1650 °C in air and, based on previous work, should be suitable for mixed potential sensor applications.

In this paper, the LaCrO3 thin film was successfully synthesized on a ferritic stainless steel substrate by two approaches, i.e. reactive formation and sol–gel processing. The coating structures and surface morphologies were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. After isothermal oxidation at 850 °C for 100 h in air, the electrical resistance of the sol–gel coated samples remained very low, as compared to that of the uncoated sample after similar thermal exposure. The sol–gel coating also provided effective protection for the interconnect steel during oxidation of twelve 100-h cycles at 800 °C in air, whereas significant spallation and weight loss were observed for the uncoated steel. The two coating processes (i.e. reactive formation and sol–gel processing) were compared and their advantages and drawbacks were outlined.

Recently, processing technology was developed to create graded TBCs by coupling ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) with substrate pivoting in the alumina-YSZ system. The Electron Beam-1200 kW (EB-1200) PVD system was used to deposit a variety of TBC coatings with micron layered microstructures and reduced thermal conductivity of 1.5 W/mK. The use of IBAD produced fully stoichiometric coatings at a reduced substrate temperature of 600 °C and a reduced oxygen background pressure of 0.1 Pa. In addition to the process technology, the results of Direct Simulation Monte Carlo plume modeling and spectroscopic characterization of the PVD plumes are presented.

The nanoscale structure of Ti–Si–N coatings was probed by combining transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The structural characterizations showed that the present Ti–Si–N coatings consists of nanocolumnar B1-TiN grains interdispersed within an amorphous silicon nitride (a-Si:N) matrix, independent of the deposition temperature. Significant Ti atom dissolution within the a-Si:N matrix was observed, and increasing the deposition temperature from ∼250 to ∼700 °C decreases the Ti dissolution limit. The influence of the extent of the TiN/a-Si:N phase separation on the mechanical properties of Ti–Si–N coatings is probed by instrumented nanoindentation. The extent of phase separation was found to significantly influence the mechanical properties, with the hardness of Ti–Si–N coating deposited at ∼700 °C reaching ∼40 GPa. The present results illustrate the sensitivity of mechanical properties of ceramic nanocomposite coatings on the detailed nanoscale structure.

We consider the computation of a quickest path from a source node to a destination node for a given message size in a network with n nodes and m links each of which is specified by bandwidth and delay. Every known quickest path algorithm computes m shortest paths either directly or indirectly, and this step contributes to most of its computational complexity which is generally of the form O(m2+mn log n). We present a probabilistic quickest path algorithm that computes an approximate quickest path with time complexity O(pm+pn log n) by randomly selecting p⩽m bandwidths at which the shortest paths are computed. We show that the delay of the computed path is close to optimal with a high probability that approaches 1 exponentially fast with respect to p/m. Simulation results indicate that this algorithm computes the optimal quickest paths with p/m<0.1 for almost all randomly generated networks with n>40. We also present an algorithm to compute the path-table consisting of these approximate quickest paths with the same time complexity of O(pm+pn log n).

The transformation from olivine occurred by grain-boundary nucleation and interface-controlled growth mechanisms. Infrared analysis of the recovered samples indicates that a small amount of water, 750 ± 100 ppm by weight, was present in the samples although the experiments were carried out under nominally dry conditions. Nucleation and growth rates were determined by fitting the rate equation for the grain-boundary nucleated transformation to the kinetic data. The activation energy and activation volume for growth were estimated to be 348 (137) kJ/mol and 1.7 (4.5) cm³/mol, respectively. The growth kinetics determined in this study bear upon the field of metastable olivine in the subducting slab as the water contents of samples studied are well known. Nucleation rates were estimated to be relatively large, even at small overpressure conditions, which is consistent with the small activation energy for nucleation derived in this study.

This polymorph is the first observed silicate composed of face-sharing polyhedra and it has a density similar to stishovite. Sterical constraints on the bond angles induce an intrinsic disorder of Si positions, such that the Si-coordination is transitional between four- and sixfold. The structure provides a mechanism for this coordination change in silica and other silicates at high temperature that is fundamentally different from mechanisms at 300 K. The new polymorph also illustrates how the face-sharing polyhedra, naturally occurring along previously proposed compression mechanisms for dense silicate melts, can be constructed without inferring unphysically small bond angles.

Optical trapping immobilizes the particle while maintaining it in the center of the laser beam path and within the laser focus, thus maximizing the collection of its Raman signals. The single particle is completely isolated from other particles and substrate surfaces, therefore eliminating any unwanted background signals and ensuring that information is collected only from the selected, individual particle. In this work, an inverted confocal Raman microscope is combined with optical trapping to probe and analyze bacterial spores in solution. Rapid, reagentless detection and identification of bacterial spores with no false positives from a complex mixed sample containing polystyrene and silica beads in aqueous suspension is demonstrated. In addition, the technique is used to analyze the relative concentration of each type of particle in the mixture. Our results show the feasibility for incorporating this technique in combination with a flow cytometric-type scheme in which the intrinsic Raman signatures of the particles are used instead of or in addition to fluorescent labels to identify cells, bacteria, and particles in a wide range of applications.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02//2/1/2004 VL - 76 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 761 EP - 766 SN - 00032700 AB - A new approach for studying antibody--antigen interactions of DNA adducts and metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is demonstrated in which fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy (FLNS) is used. It is based on the fact that in an FLN spectrum the relative intensifies of the line-narrowed bands (that correspond to the excited-state vibrations) are, in general, strongly dependent on the local environment of the fluorophore. Information on the nature of the interactions can be obtained by comparing the FLN spectra of the antigen-antibody complexes to the spectra of the antigen in different types of solvents (H-bonding, aprotic, and π-electron-containing solvent molecules) recorded wider the same conditions. The antigens used were the DNA adduct 7-(benzo[α]pyren-6-yl)guanine (BP-6-N7Gua) and the metabolite (+)-trans-anti-7,8,9,10-benzo[α]pyrenetetrol (BP-tetrol) of benzo[α]pyrene; two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have been developed to selectively bind these compounds. It is shown that, for BP-tetrol, H-bonding solvents have a pronounced effect on the FLN spectra. The presence of π electrons in the solvent molecules results in relatively small but still significant changes in the spectra. When BP-tetrol is bound to its MAb, however, neither of these effects is observed; its spectrum is very similar to the one obtained with an aprotic solvent, methylcyclohexane. Therefore, we can conclude that this MAb has an internal binding site in which the interaction with BP-tetrol is of a hydrophobic character. For BP-6-N7Gua, however, there is a strong effect of the presence of π electrons in the solvent molecules. The FLN spectrum of this antigen bound to its MAb is very similar to its spectrum in acetone, indicating that π--π interactions play an important role in the binding.

The rough surface is modeled as sinusoidally corrugated particular to the case of a fixed relationship between amplitude and periodicity, as would arise from polishing with monodisperse spherical particles. The penetration of fluid into the troughs of the corrugations and the resulting meniscus are determined as a competition between surface tension and compression of the trapped gas. liquid contained below the corrugation peaks, but above the gas/liquid meniscus, is trapped and behaves as an ideal mass layer, contributing a frequency shift that adds to that arising from liquid entrainment. This model allows QCM responses on rough surfaces to be described as a function of liquid properties and contact angle. This permits responses on hydrophobic surfaces to be understood in terms of incomplete surface wetting.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 70 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 973 EP - 983 SN - 00992240 AB - The objective of this study was to characterize the community structure and activity of N2-fixing microorganisms in mature and poorly developed biological soil crusts from both the Colorado Plateau and Chihuahuan Desert. Nitrogenase activity was approximately 10 and 2.5 times higher in mature crusts than in poorly developed crusts at the Colorado Plateau site and Chihuahuan Desert site, respectively. Analysis of nifH sequences by clone sequencing and the terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism technique indicated that the crust diazotrophic community was 80 to 90% heterocystous cyanobacteria most closely related to Nostoc spp. and that the composition of N2-fixing species did not vary significantly between the poorly developed and mature crusts at either site. In contrast, the abundance of nifH sequences was approximately 7.5 times greater (per microgram of total DNA) in mature crusts than in poorly developed crusts at a given site as measured by quantitative PCR. 16S rRNA gene clone sequencing and microscopic analysis of the cyanobacterial community within both crust types demonstrated a transition from a Microcoleus vaginatus-dominated, poorly developed crust to mature crusts harboring a greater percentage of Nostoc and Scytonema spp. We hypothesize that ecological factors, such as soil instability and water stress, may constrain the growth of N2-fixing microorganisms at our study sites and that the transition to a mature, nitrogen-producing crust initially requires bioengineering of the surface microenvironment by Microcoleus vaginatus.

SN - 09462171 AB - A new singly resonant, single-frequency optical parametric oscillator (OPO) has been developed for the 2.6–4.7 μm infrared wavelength region, using a high power (>20 W), widely tunable (1024–1034 nm) Yb:YAG pump source. With the OPO frequency stabilized with an intracavity etalon, the OPO achieved an idler output power of 3 W at 2.954 μm. Tuning of the idler frequency was achieved by longitudinal mode-hop tuning of the pump source (FSR 100 MHz). In this way an idler frequency scan of 100–150 GHz could be obtained, after which the signal frequency hops ahead over the FSR of the intracavity etalon of the OPO (207 GHz). Due to un-optimized mirror coatings for the OPO cavity and PPLN crystal, the frequency stability was limited to 90 MHz over 1 s, with an unaffected long-term frequency stability of 250 MHz over 200 seconds.

Atomization behavior of the graphite furnace source, the overall efficiency and selectivity were measured for different sample preparations. Single-resonance excitation 6s 2S1/2 (F=4) → 6p 2P3/2 (F′=5) with an extended cavity diode laser followed by photoionization with the 488 nm line of an argon ion laser yielded optical selectivity for 135Cs and 137Cs of more than two orders of magnitude against stable 133Cs and overall selectivity of 108.

A complete simulation of the detector and data analysis is used to study the detector’s capability to search for muon neutrinos from potential sources such as active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We study the effective area and the angular resolution of the detector as a function of muon energy and angle of incidence. We present detailed calculations of the sensitivity of the detector to both diffuse and pointlike neutrino fluxes, including an assessment of the sensitivity to neutrinos detected in coincidence with GRB observations. After three years of data taking, IceCube will be able to detect a point-source flux of Eν2×dNν/dEν=7×10−9 cm−2 s−1 GeV at a significance, or, in the absence of a signal, place a 90% c.l. limit at a level of Eν2×dNν/dEν=2×10−9 cm−2 s−1 GeV. A diffuse E−2 flux would be detectable at a minimum strength of Eν2×dNν/dEν=10−8 cm−2 s−1 sr−1 GeV. A GRB model following the formulation of Waxman and Bahcall would result in a effect after the observation of 200 bursts in coincidence with satellite observations of the gamma rays.

Likely values (and/or upper limits) for the source energies in low- and high-energy gamma rays and hadrons are deduced for the burst sources associated with possible TeV gamma-ray detections by the Project GRAND array. Possible spectra for energetic gammas are deduced for three models: (1) inverse-Compton scattering of ambient photons from relativistic electrons; (2) proton–synchrotron emission; and (3) inelastic scattering of relativistic protons from ambient photons creating high-energy neutral pions, which decay into high-energy photons. These models rely on some basic assumptions about the GRB properties, e.g. that: the low- and high-energy gamma rays are produced at the same location; the time variability of the high-energy component can be estimated from the FWHM of the highest peak in the low-energy gamma ray light curve; and the variability–luminosity relation of Fenimore and Ramirez-Ruiz [preprint(astro-ph/0004176)] gives a reliable estimate of the redshifts of these bursts. We also explore the impact of each of these assumptions upon our models. We conclude that the energetic requirements are difficult to satisfy for any of these models unless, perhaps, either the photon beaming angle is much narrower for the high-energy component than for the low-energy GRB or the bursts occur at very low redshifts (≲0.01). Nevertheless, we find that the energetic requirements are most easily satisfied if TeV gamma rays are produced predominantly by inverse-Compton scattering with a magnetic field strength well below equipartition or by proton–synchrotron emission with a magnetic field strength near equipartition.

The team obtained mercury data over a 9-day period from inside the factory, with the first known concurrent awareness of manufacturing operations. Emissions were measured from the roof vent, the open-sided basement below the production cells, and from surrounding soils and sealed waste ponds. Some emphasis was also placed on assessing the spatial distribution of Hg concentrations within an operating cell room. The team used real-time and near-real-time Hg analyzers including a Tekran 5-min integrated sampler modified for cell-room use, Lumex RA915+ and Jerome 431-X portable Hg analyzers, and a long-path integrating DOAS system for gaseous elemental Hg, coupled with an optical anemometer for measuring vent-averaged air flow rates. The integrated beam (DOAS) and point measurements of Hg° compared favorably.One principal finding is that fugitive air emissions from the cell-room roof vent are episodic and vary with factory operating conditions (maintenance and minor operational perturbations). Therefore, air emissions are likely to vary widely among factories on a worldwide basis, in accordance with operating procedures followed at each. Properly positioned, real-time mercury vapor analyzers are potentially valuable tools to locate small-scale process leaks, and to estimate overall emissions from the cell-room building. A preliminary estimate of daily fugitive Hg emissions during this period (∼400–600 g d−1) indicated that the bulk of the atmospheric loss was emitted from the roof vent of the main production building. Sealed waste ponds were not important sources, emitting Hg at rates comparable to background soils.

The principal focus of this study was to determine the fugitive (non-ducted) airborne Hg emissions from the main production equipment located in the “cell building” during extended period operations, including maintenance events. Other Hg monitoring conducted in and around the plant also included surveys of process areas surrounding the cell building, measurement of Hg fluxes from soil and other exposed surfaces, and speciated Hg measurements of ambient air both “upwind” and “downwind” of the production area as well as the determination of Hg contained in output products and wastes. The study was a collaborative effort among scientists from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Energy''s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Michigan. This paper provides a description of the facility, the rationale and design of the study, and an introduction to companion papers containing the observational data.

JO - Biodegradation JF - Biodegradation Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 67 EP - 75 SN - 09239820 AB - Introduced degraders often do not survive when applied to polluted sites; however, the potential for successful bioaugmentation may be increased if newly activated soil (containing indigenous degrader populations recently exposed to the contaminant) or potentially active soil (containing indigenous degrader populations not previously exposed to the contaminant) is used as the inoculant. To investigate this concept, Madera and Oversite soils were amended with 0 or 500 micrograms of 2-, 3-, or 4-chlorobenzoate per gram soil. The Madera degraded 2-chlorobenzoate while the Oversite degraded 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate. After 22 days of incubation, non-active soils that had not degraded chlorobenzoate were bioaugmented with the appropriate activated soil that had been exposed to and degraded chlorobenzoate. Thus, Oversite soil that had not degraded 2-chlorobenzoate was bioaugmented with Madera soil that had degraded 2-chlorobenzoate. Likewise, Madera soil that had not degraded 3- or 4-chlorobenzoate was bioaugmented with the Oversite soil that had degraded 3- or 4-chlorobenzoate. Additionally, the non-active soils were bioaugmented with the corresponding potentially active soils. The Oversite soil amended with activated Madera soil degraded the 2-chlorobenzoate within 3 days of bioaugmentation. The Madera soil amended with activated Oversite soils degraded the 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate within 20 and 6 days, respectively. Large degrader populations developed in microcosms bioaugmented with activated soil, and shifts in the 3- and 4-CB degrader community structures occurred following bioaugmentation. In contrast, bioaugmentation with potentially active soil did not impact degradation. The results indicate the potential for bioaugmentation with newly activated soil to enhance contaminant degradation.

Pure HA/TCP ceramics showed poor sinterability due to the phase transformation of β- to α-TCP. MgO-doped HA/TCP ceramics showed high density without any phase transformation of β-TCP up to 1300°C, for MgO dopants incorporated into the β-TCP preferably and increased thermal stability of β-TCP. However, the addition of MgO higher than a critical content, suppressed grain growth of HA/TCP ceramics and lowered sinterability. The optimum amount of MgO doping was 1 wt%, which lead 99% relative density and higher mechanical properties than HA or β-TCP ceramics. From in vitro test and in vivo test, 1 wt% MgO-doped HA/TCP ceramics showed a good biocompatibility without cytotoxicity. After implantation under the muscle of rabbits, β-TCP phase was dissolved from the surface and a biological apatite covered the surface. These results proved that MgO addition increased drastically the sintering and mechanical properties of HA/β-TCP ceramics without altering the biological safety and biocompatibility of the original composite.

JO - Boundary-Layer Meteorology JF - Boundary-Layer Meteorology Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 110 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 255 EP - 279 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00068314 AB - Using the unprecedented observational facilities deployed during the 1999 Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study (CASES-99), we found three distinct turbulent events on the night of 18 October 1999. These events resulted from a density current, solitary wave, and internal gravity wave, respectively. Our study focuses on the turbulence intermittency generated by the solitary wave and internal gravity wave, and intermittent turbulence episodes associated with pressure change and wind direction shifts adjacent to the ground. Both the solitary and internal gravity waves propagated horizontally and downward. During the passage of both the solitary and internal gravity waves, local thermal and shear instabilities were generated as cold air was pushed above warm air and wind gusts reached to the ground. These thermal and shear instabilities triggered turbulent mixing events. In addition, strong vertical acceleration associated with the solitary wave led to large non-hydrostatic pressure perturbations that were positively correlated with temperature. The directional difference between the propagation of the internal gravity wave and the ambient flow led to lateral rolls. These episodic studies demonstrate that non-local disturbances are responsible for local thermal and shear instabilities, leading to intermittent turbulence in nocturnal boundary layers. The origin of these non-local disturbances needs to be understood to improve mesoscale numerical model performance.

On the other hand the total spatial resolution of a pinhole imaging device is predominantly affected by the detector intrinsic spatial resolution for reduced magnification factors. To design very compact pinhole SPET scanners with very high intrinsic spatial resolution, authors investigated a miniature gamma camera based on the newly developed Hamamatsu H8500 flat panel photomultiplier. The PSPMT was coupled to the following scintillation arrays: CsI(Tl) array with 0.2-mm, 1-mm, 1.4-mm pixel size and NaI (Tl) with 1-mm pixel size. The imaging performances were evaluated by 57Co spot and flood irradiations. NaI(Tl) array shows a better pixel identification for 1 mm pixel size, proving to be a good candidate to make a large area photodetector based on multi PSPMTs closely packed. Although CsI(Tl) array had the smallest pixel size, the low light output limited the best intrinsic spatial resolution to about 0.5 mm.

The magnitude of the surface-enhancement effect was determined to be ∼3 × 102 on the as-prepared samples of Ag/SiO2. Upon heating in air above 373 K, the citrate anions undergo oxidation to uni- and bidentate carbonate species and then decomposition to CO2 and adsorbed O atoms. In the SERS of Ag/SiO2, a very strong enhancement of the ν(C=O) signal for the bidentate CO3 species was observed for temperatures between 398 and 448 K, which is accompanied by an increase in the UV–vis absorbance of the sample at the frequency of the laser line used for Raman spectroscopy. This phenomenon is attributed to an increase in the surface-enhancement effect caused by clustering of the Ag nanoparticles as they sinter at elevated temperatures. The present investigation shows that the proper interpretation of in situ SERS spectra requires an understanding of the changes occurring in the UV–vis spectrum of the sample.

The mathematical formalism is based upon coupling the classical dynamical system (with random components caused by uncertainties in initial conditions as well as by Langevin forces) with the corresponding Liouville or the Fokker–Planck equations describing evolution of these uncertainties in terms of probability density. The coupling is implemented by information-based supervising forces which fundamentally change the patterns of probability evolution. It is demonstrated that the probability density can approach prescribed attractors while exhibiting such patterns as shock waves, solitons and chaos in probability space. Applications of these phenomena to information-based neural nets, expectation-based cooperation, self-programmed systems, control chaos using terminal attractors as well as to games with incomplete information, are addressed. A formal similarity between the mathematical structure of the introduced dynamical systems and quantum mechanics is discussed.

The program can compute the F1 function for real values of the variables {x,y}, and complex values of the parameters {α,β1,β2,γ}.

SAND76-0585, 1976].Keywords: Numerical methods, special functions, hypergeometric functions, Appell functions, Gauss functionNature of the physical problem: Computing the Appell F1 function is relevant in atomic collisions and elementary particle physics. It is usually the result of multidimensional integrals involving Coulomb continuum states.Method of solution: The F1 function has a convergent-series definition for &z.sfnc;x&z.sfnc;<1 and &z.sfnc;y&z.sfnc;<1, and several analytic continuations for other regions of the variable space. The code tests the values of the variables and selects one of the precedent cases. In the convergence region the program uses the series definition near the origin of coordinates, and a numerical integration of the third-order differential parametric equation for the F1 function. Also detects several special cases according to the values of the parameters.Restrictions on the complexity of the problem: The code is restricted to real values of the variables {x,y}. Also, there are some parameter domains that are not covered. These usually imply differences between integer parameters that lead to negative integer arguments of Gamma functions.Typical running time: Depends basically on the variables. The computation of Table 4 of [F.D. Colavecchia et al., Comput. Phys. Comm. 138 (1) (2001) 29] (64 functions) requires approximately 0.33 s in a Athlon 900 MHz processor.

Results show that ratepayers could realize potential annual energy savings of over $11M from the effects of HIR strategies. The residential sector accounts for over half (59%) of the total savings, offices 13% and retail stores 28%. Savings from cool roofs are about 20%, shade trees 30%, wind shielding of trees 37%, and ambient cooling by trees and reflective surfaces 12%. These results are preliminary and highly sensitive to the relative price of gas and electricity. Potential annual electrticity savings are estimated at about 150 GWh and potential peak power avoidance at 250 MW.

Although its effectiveness has been demonstrated on a macroscopic scale in the field, little is known about P speciation in either alum-amended or unamended lifter. This knowledge is important for the evaluation of the long-term stability and bioavailability of P, which is a necessary prerequisite for the assessment of the sustainability of intensive poultry operations. Both solid-state MAS and CP-MAS [sup31P NMR as well as [sup31]P {[sup27]Al}-TRAPDOR were used to investigate P speciation in alum-amended and unamended PL. The results indicate the presence of a complex mixture of organic and inorganic orthophosphate phases. A calcium phosphate phase, probably a surface precipitate on calcium carbonate, could be identified in both unamended and alum-amended PL, as well as physically bound HPO[sub4,sup2-]. Phosphate associated with Al was found in the alum-amended PL most probably a mixture of a poorly ordered wavellite and phosphate surface complexes on aluminum hydroxide that had been formed by the hydrolysis of alum. However, a complex mixture of organic and inorganic phosphate species could not be resolved. Phosphate associated with Al comprised on average 40 ± 14% of the total P in alum-amended PL, whereas calcium phosphate phases comprised on average 7 ± 4% in the alum-amended PL and 14 ± 5% in the unamended PL.

To evaluate the formation of such halocarbons, speciation of chlorine in Sequoia sempervirens (redwood) needles was examined in the presence of an external chloroperoxidase (CPO) enzyme using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The Cl forms in fresh and naturally weathered needles and in model laboratory reactions were compared. To provide a straightforward analogue to the enzymatic chlorination in plants, chlorination reactions were conducted for phenol, a common moiety of plant macromolecules. Plant material chlorination was also examined in the presence of hypochlorite in an ancillary mechanistic investigation. The dominant form of Cl in fresh, unreacted plant material was found to be inorganic Cl[sup-], which was partially converted to organochlorine in the presence of CPO. Chlorination is affected by the nature of reactant (CPO, H[sub2]O[sub2]) addition, reaction time, and temperature. The organochlorines produced in these laboratory investigations closely resemble those produced during the natural weathering of redwood needles. A striking consistency in chlorine speciation observed among the various sample types suggests that (i) CPO produced by terrestrial organisms could play a vital role in the generation of organochlorines associated with the degradation of plant material and (ii) initial targets of enzymatic chlorination might include lignin-like macromolecules rich in aromatic character and hydroxyl groups. These findings lend further credibility to a significant biogenic contribution to the global organohalogen burden by elucidating a probable route of enzymatic chlorination of natural organic matter in terrestrial systems.

JO - Extremophiles JF - Extremophiles Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 44 SN - 14310651 AB - Thermus strain SA-01, previously isolated from a deep (3.2 km) South African gold mine, is closely related to Thermus strains NMX2 A.1 and VI-7 (previously isolated from thermal springs in New Mexico, USA, and Portugal, respectively). Thermus strains SA-01 and NMX2 A.1 have also been shown previously to grow using nitrate, Fe(III), Mn(IV) or SO as terminal electron acceptors and to be capable of reducing Cr(VI), U(VI), Co(III), and the quinone-containing compound anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate. The objectives of this study were to determine the phylogenetic positions of the three known metal-reducing Thermus strains and to determine the phylogenetic significance of metal reduction within the genus Thermus. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA sequences, BOX PCR genomic fingerprinting, and DNA–DNA reassociation analyses indicated that these strains belong to the previously described genospecies T. scotoductus. The morphologies and lipid fatty acid profiles of these metal-reducing strains are consistent with their identification as T. scotoductus; however, the T. scotoductus strains tested in this study evinced a wide intraspecies variability in some other phenotypic traits, e.g., carbon substrate utilization and pigmentation. Iron reduction occurred in all strains of T. scotoductus tested except the mixotrophic, sulfur-oxidizing strain IT-7254. Thermus strains belonging to other species did not reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II) or reduced it only poorly.

The primary functions of the blanket in a deuterium/tritium-fueled fusion reactor are to convert the fusion energy into sensible heat and to breed tritium for the fuel cycle. The self-cooled liquid metal blanket concept requires an electrically insulating coating on the first-wall structural material to minimize the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pressure drop that occurs during the flow of liquid metal in a magnetic field. Calcium oxide is a possible coating material because it is an excellent electrical insulator and it has large negative free energy to prevent the attack from liquid lithium. In this paper, details are presented on the metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method that was used to fabricate the CaO coating. The as-deposited CaO coating was annealed in calcium vapor to prevent coating spallation. Composition and phase analyses of the coating were performed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the coating did not crack after several thermal cycles from room temperature to 715 °C. The resistance of the coating was high enough for application as an insulating coating for the self-cooled lithium blanket in fusion systems. The information on Li compatibility is only preliminary and additional effort is needed to evaluate their long-term performance in fusion-relevant conditions.

JO - Geochemical Transactions JF - Geochemical Transactions Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 33 EP - 40 SN - 14674866 AB - The reactivity of a mineral surface is determined by the variety and population of different types of surface sites (e.g., step, kink, adatom, and defect sites). The concept of "adsorbed nutrient" has been built into crystal growth theories, and many other studies of mineral surface reactivity appeal to ill-defined "active sites." Despite their theoretical importance, there has been little direct experimental or analytical investigation of the structure and properties of such species. Here, we use ex-situ and in-situ scanning tunneling microcopy (STM) combined with calculated images based on a resonant tunneling model to show that observed nonperiodic protrusions and depressions on the hematite (001) surface can be explained as Fe in an adsorbed or adatom state occupying sites different from those that result from simple termination of the bulk mineral. The number of such sites varies with sample preparation history, consistent with their removal from the surface in low pH solutions.

This study focuses on geochemical evolution of tank waste plumes resulting from interactions between the waste solution and sediment. A synthetic tank waste solution was infused into unsaturated Hanford sediment columns (0.2, 0.6, and 2 m) maintained at 70°C to simulate the field contamination process. Spatially and temporally resolved geochemical profiles of the waste plume were obtained. Thorough OH− neutralization (from an initial pH 14 down to 6.3) was observed. Three broad zones of pore solutions were identified to categorize the dominant geochemical reactions: the silicate dissolution zone (pH > 10), pH-neutralized zone (pH 10 to 6.5), and displaced native sediment pore water (pH 6.5 to 8). Elevated concentrations of Si, Fe, and K in plume fluids and their depleted concentrations in plume sediments reflected dissolution of primary minerals within the silicate dissolution zone. The very high Na concentrations in the waste solution resulted in rapid and complete cation exchange, reflected in high concentrations of Ca and Mg at the plume front. The plume-sediment profiles also showed deposition of hydrated solids and carbonates. Fair correspondence was obtained between these results and analyses of field borehole samples from a waste plume at the Hanford Site. Results of this study provide a well-defined framework for understanding waste plumes in the more complex field setting and for understanding geochemical factors controlling transport of contaminant species carried in waste solutions that leaked from single-shell storage tanks in the past.

The model does not use flux corrections at the air–sea interface, nor is the ocean “spun up” prior to coupling. When increasing CO2 at the rate of 1% per year to twice its original level and keeping it constant thereafter, the model responds with a 2 °C increase in 200 years in the global mean surface air temperature and a virtually unchanged Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC). Due to the predominantly isopycnic character of HYCOM, geographic details of the 3-D thermohaline circulation in potential density space can be extracted from the model output with relative ease. The analysis confirms that even regional details of the MOC in this experiment are rather insensitive to the climate change brought on by CO2 doubling. Furthermore, the analysis reveals strong similarities between the simulated and the observed MOC.

Focusing on the specific case of cesium extraction from simulants of alkaline nuclear waste by a calix-crown ether, calix[4]arene-bis(tert-octylbenzo-crown-6) (BOBCalixC6), it has been shown that low concentrations of a common surfactant, dodecylsulfonate, seriously impairs stripping. This surfactant has been identified as a trace component in laboratory simulants and was subsequently studied in experiments in which it was added in controlled amounts. Computer modeling of stripping behavior is consistent with the formation of a 1:1:1 organic-phase complex of the calix-crown with cesium and its nitrate counterion. In the presence of an organophilic surfactant anion, cesium ion can only effectively be stripped from the solvent until its organic-phase concentration becomes equivalent to that of the surfactant anion. Cleanup of nuclear waste requires a high decontamination factor for 137Cs, and insufficient stripping therefore leads to process failure. This difficulty raises a generic issue for use of crown ethers for waste decontamination or for other hydrometallurgical applications. However, remediation is possible by simply adding an alkylamine to the solvent. The alkylamine in its ammonium form acts as a counterion of the organophilic anion, suppressing the deleterious effects of the organophilic anion and allowing the cesium cation to be stripped efficiently. Trioctylamine (TOA) at a concentration of only 1 mM was found effective at restoring stripping performance while not affecting extraction. Ultimately, this solvent amendment enabled the development of a robust solvent for the Caustic-Side Solvent Extraction (CSSX) process and its successful demonstration on actual nuclear waste.

This mode utilizes image pairs with common synthetic apertures but different squint angles allowing automated stereo correspondence and disparity estimation using complex correlation calculations. This paper presents two Ku-band, coherent cross-track stereo collects over rolling and rugged terrain. The first collect generates a digital elevation map (DEM) with 1-m posts over rolling terrain using complex SAR imagery with spatial resolution of 0.125 m and a stereo convergence angle of 13.8°. The second collect produces multiple DEMs with 3-rn posts over rugged terrain utilizing complex SAR imagery with spatial resolutions better than 0.5 m and stereo convergence angles greater than 40°. The resulting DEMS are compared to ground-truth DEMS and relative height root-mean-square (RMS), linear error 90-percent confidence (LE9O), and maximum height error are reported.

This paper presents algorithms to compute the Fourier spectrum of a decision tree and outlines a technique to construct a decision tree from its Fourier spectrum.

In light of this development the use of the proton beam itself should be considered for the most accurate method of treatment planning. X-ray computed tomography (XCT), which is widely available, has been used for the treatment planning for proton therapy. The basic interactions of XCT in matter are fundamentally different than those of the protons. Thus, the resulting density map from XCT is only an approximation of the true density map for proton therapy. Progress in proton computed tomography (pCT) is presented in this work. The experimental requirements for pCT are examined, and data analysis and Monte Carlo simulations are used to estimate the feasibility of pCT as an imaging modality.

Experiments have been performed and compared for decomposition of a nitrogen oxide (NO) using PCD and DBD, and the electric field and average electron energy in the streamer are measured in each discharge by using line ratio of N2+ to N2. The measured results of electron energy reasonably explain in tennis of "G-value" how the measured NO removal efficiencies have come out. The PCD having high electron energy turns out to be more efficient for generating N radicals, whereas the DBD containing relatively low electron energy is more effective for producing 0 radicals. Three-dimensional (3-D) and one-dimensional (1-D) numerical simulations have been carried out to understand the observed streamer dynamics in both the PCI) and DBD reactors. The 3-D numerical simulation has successfully illustrated the images of streamer front propagation in a wire-cylinder PCD reactor. In the 1-D simulation for the DBD, the recurrence phenomena of streamers have numerically appeared during the rising phase of an ac voltage. Furthermore, these numerical models have properly predicted the electric fields that are comparable with the corresponding average electron energies estimated from the emission spectral measurements for the PCD and DED.

Mere, we briefly review the plasma lens fundamentals, peculiarities of focusing heavy ion beams, and summarize some recent developments (experiments, computer simulations, theory). We show that there is a very narrow range of low magnetic field for which the optical properties of the lens improve markedly. This opens up some attractive possibilities for the development of a new-generation compact lens based on permanent magnets. Preliminary experimental results obtained at Kiev and Berkeley on the operation of a permanent magnet plasma lens for manipulating wide aperture high-current heavy ion beams are presented and summarized.

MTF is a "potentially low-cost path to fusion which is intermediate in plasma regime between magnetic (MFE) and inertial fusion energy (IFE). MTF involves the Compression of a magnetized target plasma and pressure times volume (PdV) heating to fusion relevant conditions inside a converging flux conserving boundary. We have chosen to demonstrate MTF by using a field-reversed configuration (FRC) as our magnetized target plasma and an imploding metal liner for compression. These choices take advantage of significant past scientific and technical accomplishments in MFE and defense programs research and should yield substantial plasma performance (nr > 1013 s-cm³ T > 5 key) using an available pulsed-power implosion facility at modest cost. We have recently shown the density, temperature, and lifetime of this FRC to be within a factor of 2-3 of that required for use as a suitable target plasma for MIT compression for a fusion demonstration.

This paper presents the schematic and basic controls of a reconfigurable FACTS system that can be used to realize the major voltage-sourced-converter FACTS topologies: the StatCom, the static synchronous series compensator (SSSC), and the unified power-flow controller (UPFC). Furthermore, the state models and control algorithms for the FACTS devices are proposed. The digital signal processor (DSP)-based control system enables new control methods to be rapidly implemented. The comparison of the experimental, and simulation results is also provided to verify the proposed controls. The paper culminates in a list of suggested experiments appropriate for an elective/graduate course in electric power systems.

However, excessive damping increases the energy required by an operator for commanding motion. The objective of this paper is to describe a new force reflecting teleoperation methodology that reduces operator energy requirements without sacrificing stability. We begin by describing a new approach to modeling and identifying the remote environment of the teleoperation system. We combine a conventional multi-input, multi-output recursive least squares (MIMO-RLS) system identification, identifying in real-time the remote environment impedance, with a discretized representation of the remote environment. This methodology generates a time-varying, position-dependent representation of the remote environment dynamics. Next, we adapt the target impedance of the master robot with respect to the dynamic model of the remote environment. The environment estimation and impedance adaptation are executed simultaneously and in real time. We demonstrate, through experimentation, that this approach significantly reduces the energy required by an operator to execute remote tasks while simultaneously providing sufficient damping to ensure contact stability.

Qualitative aspects of the CTL response, including the epitope specificity, affinity, and clonal composition, may affect the ability of T cells to mediate infection control. Although it is clear that the mode of introduction and the dose of antigen can affect these qualitative aspects of the response, little is understood of the mechanisms. We have developed an in silico model of the CTL response, which we use to study the impact of antigen dose, antigen kinetics and repeated antigen delivery on the response. The results suggest that recent observations on differences in response to killed antigen can be explained simply by differences in timing of T-cell activation. These findings may provide insight into how different vaccination strategies can quantitatively and qualitatively affect the outcome of the immune response.

JO - Indoor Air JF - Indoor Air Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 2 EP - 9 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09056947 AB - Traditionally, houses in the US have been ventilated by passive infiltration in combination with active window opening. However in recent years, the construction quality of residential building envelopes has been improved to reduce infiltration, and the use of windows for ventilation also may have decreased due to a number of factors. Thus, there has been increased interest in engineered ventilation systems for residences. The amount of ventilation provided by an engineered system should be set to protect occupants from unhealthy or objectionable exposures to indoor pollutants, while minimizing energy costs for conditioning incoming air. Determining the correct ventilation rate is a complex task, as there are numerous pollutants of potential concern, each having poorly characterized emission rates, and poorly defined acceptable levels of exposure. One ubiquitous pollutant in residences is formaldehyde. The sources of formaldehyde in new houses are reasonably understood, and there is a large body of literature on human health effects. This report examines the use of formaldehyde as a means of determining ventilation rates and uses existing data on emission rates of formaldehyde in new houses to derive recommended levels. Based on current, widely accepted concentration guidelines for formaldehyde, the minimum and guideline ventilation rates for most new houses are 0.28 and 0.5 air changes per hour, respectively. This report uses measured levels of formaldehyde emission and authoritative exposure standards to develop minimum ventilation rates for dwellings. Rates suitable for both targets and norms are developed. Limits on the applicability of the data are discussed. Because of the insensibility of formaldehyde at these concentrations, this report implies that minimum mechanical rates must be independent of occupant control to keep the concentration below the standards.

Accurate scientific information remains limited in the area of biological warfare agents. However, new guidelines and calculated cleanup values are emerging for initial re-entry and long-term reoccupation following use of chemical warfare agents. This article addresses airborne, soil, and surface exposures following release of G-type chemical warfare agents and VX. Cleanup goals should be tailored to the type of population that may be exposed, potential exposure times, and other scenario-specific considerations. Three different airborne concentrations are proposed for cleanup of public sector facilities. One value is recommended for initial re-entry; a more conservative value is recommended for long-term monitoring and increased public confidence; and a third, even more conservative concentration represents essentially a no-effect level for round-the-clock airborne exposure. Health-based cleanup levels are provided for contaminated residential and industrial soil. Results are presented on the outcome of a preliminary risk assessment to determine safe surface levels (e.g., walls, floors, and handrails) for cleanup after exposure to the G agents and VX. Because specific cleanup criteria for most biological warfare agents remain problematic, recommendations are made for filling the knowledge gaps.

This article details full sparse tiling, a run-time reordering transformation that improves the data locality for stationary iterative methods such as Gauss-Seidel operating on sparse matrices. In scientific applications such as finite element analysis, these iterative methods dominate the execution time. Full sparse tiling chooses a permutation of the rows and columns of the sparse matrix, and then an order of execution that achieves better data locality.

However, little information is available as to how these and other observations pertain to human responses to LDIR, though such knowledge is required for reducing the uncertainty of assessing human risks due to these exposures. We therefore undertook these translational studies to begin the development of a unique data set of human cellular responses to LDIR as measured by gene expression changes when exposure occurs to a normal tissue with its complex cellular mixture and three-dimensional architecture.: Methods and materialsUsing full-thickness human skin resected during esthetic surgery, we obtained biopsy cores and exposed the tissue to LDIR ex vivo. Gene expression changes in five core regulatory genes were assessed by real-time RT-PCR.: ResultsResults indicate that skin is a good biologic model for assessing LDIR in humans, though meticulous attention to sample processing is necessary. LDIR does produce changes in gene expression, though time– and dose–response relationships may be complex.: ConclusionThese proof of principle studies have provided a crucial initial step toward validation of LDIR risk assessment models in humans. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach and provide initial evidence that ionizing radiation exposures as low as 1 cGy are biologically active in human skin.

The crystals reveal a number of features that are quite well known in hydrothermally grown inorganic crystals: dislocations, growth bands and growth sector boundaries. Dislocations in the 〈110〉 sectors have been characterized as edge dislocations with Burgers vector parallel to the c axis. They are distinguishable only under weak beam conditions. The presence of edge dislocations shown in this paper is consistent with the spiral growth steps previously reported. This spiral growth on protein crystals has been observed many times by surface techniques.

Instrument-specific effects on the real-space PDF were investigated, such as finite measurement range, the instrument resolution and the asymmetric shape of diffraction peaks. Two illustrative samples, a perfectly long-rangeordered element, Pb, and a locally strained alloy ZnSe0.5Te0.5, were measured at low temperatures. Various aspects of the PDF were explored, either qualitatively by direct comparison or quantitatively via structural modelling. Future implementation of modelling codes incorporating some of these instrumental effects are also discussed.

The temperature and electron number density of laser-induced plasmas in a fused silica cavity were determined using spectroscopic methods, and compared with laser ablation on a flat surface. Plasma temperature and electron number density during laser ablation in a cavity with aspect ratio of 4 increased faster with irradiance after the laser irradiance reached a threshold of 5 GW/cm2. The threshold irradiance of particulate ejection was lower for laser ablation in a cavity compared with on a flat surface; the greater the cavity aspect ratio, the lower the threshold irradiance. The ionization of silicon becomes saturated and the crater depths were increased approximately by 1 order of magnitude after the irradiance reached the threshold. Phase explosion was discussed to explain the large change of both plasma characteristics and mass removal when irradiance increased beyond a threshold value. Self-focusing of the laser beam was discussed as being responsible for the decrease of the threshold in cavities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The sizes of the particles were studied as functions of spark energies ranging from 10 μJ to 1 J, and a scaling relation derived from a simple model was verified. Several different static and rotating electrode configurations were compared with respect to their suitability for producing significant yields of small particles. The advantages of stirring the dielectric with the fixed-gap apparatus and of rotating the electrodes were demonstrated. Water, kerosene, and liquid argon and nitrogen were used as dielectric liquids. When compounds were formed, the reaction with the dielectric proceeded inversely with particle size. Spark erosion in kerosene at low spark energies, followed by annealing, proved to be an effective method to produce fine nickel particles. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The adsorbed CuPc at room temperature forms a quasiepitaxial overlayer, incommensurate with the substrate lattice, aligned with the <110> and <110> axes of the Au(001) surface. At elevated substrate temperatures (ET) between 200 and 250 °C, the deposition of CuPc results in a 13.8 Å square overlayer structure commensurate with the substrate lattice. The electronic structures of CuPc overlayers grown at both RT and ET are also investigated. While the films grown at both temperatures generally exhibit lowering of the vacuum level, consistent with the presence of an interfacial dipole, it is the ET-grown CuPc overlayer that exhibits a sharp decrease of the surface vacuum level upon completion of a monolayer. The experimental CuPc valence band energies are compared with the calculated ionization potentials of a CuPc molecule. Using the tunability of the light source and the dependence of the photoionization cross sections on photon energy for various atomic shells, the CuPc molecular orbitals are assigned with either Cu d states or Pc-derived valence orbitals. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

While the observed Raman spectra are generally consistent with group theory predictions for a body-centered tetragonal crystal structure (D[sub 4h][sup 19]), due to the replacement of P for V, additional spectral features induced by the disorder of the mixed vanadate/phosphate system are also observed. In particular, all of the external lattice modes are characterized by a one-phonon-like behavior, while the behavior of the internal modes of the (V,P)O[sub 4] tetrahedron is two-phonon-like. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

When microcantilevers are illuminated with different wavelengths of light the amount of absorption and the wavelengths of maxima in the absorption depend upon the thickness of the layers, the materials used in the layers, and the direction of illumination. Wavelengths of maximum absorption are observed as microcantilever deflections due to heat-induced bending of the bimaterial structure of the microcantilever. Results are presented for different multilayer configurations and illumination directions. These results are then compared with theoretical calculations based on multilayer thin-film analysis. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

At a shunting location in the cast mc-Si cell, silver and titanium, both contact strip materials, have been identified at the shunting location, suggesting a process-induced error related to contact metallization. At a shunting location in the RGS cell, a material-specific shunting mechanism is described, involving channels of inverse conductivity type, where copper and iron are found. The possible roles of these metals in this shunting mechanism are discussed. These results illustrate the wide range of physical mechanisms involved with shunting in solar cells. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Surface measurements of the CCN concentration are scaled by the ratio of the backscatter (or extinction) vertical profile to the backscatter (or extinction) at or near the surface. The backscatter (or extinction) profile is measured by Raman lidar and is corrected to dry conditions using the vertical profile of relative humidity (also measured by Raman lidar) and surface measurements of the dependence of backscatter (or extinction) on relative humidity. The method assumes that the aerosol composition and the shape of the aerosol size distribution at the surface are representative of the vertical column. Aircraft measurements of aerosol size distribution are used to test the dependence of the retrieval on the uniformity of the shape of the aerosol size distribution. The retrieval is found to be robust for supersaturations less than 0.02% but breaks down at higher supersaturations if the vertical profile of the shape of the aerosol size distribution differs markedly from the shape of the distribution at the surface. Such conditions can be detected from the extinction/backscatter ratio.

Patients suffering from celiac disease have serum antibodies recognizing gliadin, as well as the endomysial autoantigen tissue transglutaminase. Phage display antibody libraries have revealed ectopic production of anti-transglutaminase antibodies by intestinal lymphocytes with a biased use of the VH5 antibody gene family. Here we report a study on the pairing of VH and VL families in the antibodies to transglutaminase. Our results led to the construction of small phage display antibody libraries based on the amplification of the two genes in the VH5 family from intestinal lymphocytes. This method can be used for the rapid characterization of the anti-transglutaminase response in a potentially large number of subjects including asymptomatic patients whose serum antibodies may be undetectable.

Cluster anions Ag[sub n][sup -] (n=1–11) readily react with molecular oxygen to yield Ag[sub n]O[sub m][sup -] (m=2, 4, or 6) oxide products. In contrast, no reaction of the silver cluster anions with carbon monoxide is detected. However, if silver cluster anions are exposed to the mixture of O[sub 2] and CO, new reaction products and a pronounced, discontinuous size dependence in the reaction behavior is observed. In particular, coadsorption complexes Ag[sub n](CO)O[sub 2][sup -] are detected for cluster sizes with n=4 and 6 and, the most striking observation, in the case of the larger odd atom number clusters Ag[sub 7][sup -], Ag[sub 9][sup -], and Ag[sub 11][sup -], the oxide product concentration decreases while a reappearance of the bare metal cluster signal is observed. This leads to the conclusion that carbon monoxide reacts with the activated oxygen on these silver clusters and indicates the prevalence of a catalytic reaction cycle. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The Hamiltonians are expressed in an explicit Hermitian form in the spatial representation. Their matrix representations are described in both full discrete variable representation (DVR) and mixed DVR/nondirect product finite basis representation (FBR) bases. The two-layer Lanczos iteration algorithm [H.-G. Yu, J. Chem. Phys. 117, 8190 (2002)] is employed to solve the eigenvalue problem of the system. A strategy regarding how to carry out the Hamiltonian-vector products for a high-dimensional problem is discussed. By exploiting the inversion symmetry of molecules, a unitary sequential 1D matrix-vector multiplication algorithm is proposed to perform the action of the Hamiltonian on the wavefunction in a symmetrically adapted DVR or FBR basis in the azimuthal angular variables. An application to the vibrational energy levels of the molecular hydrogen trimer (H[sub 2])[sub 3] in full dimension (12D) is presented. Results show that the rigid-H[sub 2] approximation can underestimate the binding energy of the trimer by 27%. Finally, it is demonstrated that the two-layer Lanczos algorithm is also capable of computing the eigenvectors of the system with minor effort.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Surface O atoms are generated by oxygen permeation through a 0.25-mm-thick Ag foil heated to 1020 K. Desorbing O[sub 2] molecules are probed by (2+1) resonant multiphoton ionization via the C [sup 3]Π[sub g] (3sσ), v[sup ′]=2←←X [sup 3]Σ[sub g][sup -], v[sup ″]=0 transition and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Measured velocity distributions are near Maxwell–Boltzmann and yield average translational energies which are significantly lower than the surface temperature (/2k[sub B]∼515 K) and essentially independent of rotational excitation. Comparison of the observed C–X (2,0) resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization spectrum with spectral simulations suggests that the v[sup ″]=0 rotational state distribution is more consistent with the surface temperature, but spectral congestion and apparent intensity perturbations prevent a more quantitative analysis. The calculated, sticking curves show a small barrier energy barrier (∼10 meV) beyond which sticking decreases. These observations are consistent with low energy desorption and adsorption pathways involving a weakly bound molecular O[sub 2] precursor. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Our general model of surface exciton desorption dynamics is developed into a simple method for laser control of the relative halogen atom spin–orbit laser desorption yield. By tuning the excitation laser photon energy in a narrow region of the absorption threshold, the yield of excited state chorine atoms, Cl([sup 2]P[sub 1/2]), can be made to vary from near 0 to 80% for KCl and from near 0 to 50% for NaCl relative to the total yield of Cl atoms. We describe the physical properties necessary to obtain a high degree of product state control and the limitation induced when these requirements are not met. These results demonstrate that laser control can be applied to solid state surface reactions and provide strong support for surface exciton-based desorption models. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Consequently, sorption of Zn(II) ions onto ferrihydrite was investigated with macroscopic and spectroscopic studies as a function of pH (4.0–8.0), ionic strength (10−310−1 M NaNO3), aqueous Zn(II) concentration (10−810−2 M), and temperature (4–25 °C). Present findings suggest that, for a given set of pH and temperature conditions, Zn sorption onto ferrihydrite can best be described by one average reaction mechanism below the saturation limits. Thermodynamic analyses reveal that the Zn(II) ions sorb onto the ferrihydrite surfaces via strong endothermic chemical reactions. Consistently, X-ray absorption spectroscopic (XAS) analyses confirm that, at pH < 6.5, for all Zn loadings, Zn(II) ions form corner-sharing, mononuclear, bidentate inner-sphere complexes with ferrihydrite, where RZn–O≈1.97 A˚ and RZn–Fe≈3.48 A˚. For pH ⩾6.5, similar sorption complexes were observed at lower sorption densities. Then again, for pH ⩾6.5 and at higher sorption densities, Zn(II) ions may begin to form zinc-hydroxide-like polynuclear sorption complexes on the surfaces of the ferrihydrite, where RZn–Zn≈3.53 A˚. Surprisingly, small changes in temperature had a significant impact on the affinity of zinc for the ferrihydrite surface; equilibrium sorption capacity decreased by 3–4 orders of magnitude as temperature fell from 25 to 4 °C for all pH. Zinc sorption onto ferrihydrite, therefore, is governed by pH as well as by temperature and sorbate/sorbent ratio.

Information gained from a combination of surfactant self-assembly behavior and cleaning system parameters, such as oil species, surfactant type, temperature, alkalinity, and solid surface type has been shown to provide insight into surface cleaning. The model combines minimization of free energy, pertinent component distribution mechanisms, and surfactant self-assembly processes to provide a methodology for the predicting of oil droplet contact angles. Such predictive capabilities will allow for the development of beneficial environmental and economic changes to industrial and commercial surface cleaning and degreasing processes. Results from the model will be compared to experimental data to verify the capability of the theory to account for the effect of solutions parameters on oil droplet behavior. The model, while approximate in nature, has shown a remarkable quantitative predictive ability.

The size of the constituents of a colloid plume is an important factor affecting the partitioning of dense colloids at the bifurcation. While neutrally buoyant colloids partition between daughter fractures in proportion to flow rates, dense colloids will preferentially exit fractures that are gravitationally downgradient, notwithstanding that the majority of the interstitial fluid may flow through the upper fracture. Comparison of the partitioning ratio between daughter fractures with the ratios of characteristic settling, diffusion, and advection time reveal that these parameters control how colloids behave at fracture bifurcations.

In the vadose zone, this spreading should increase the surface area for mass transfer and the efficiency of volatile NAPL recovery by soil vapor extraction (SVE). Observations of spreading on water wet surfaces led to a conceptual model of oil spreading vertically above a NAPL pool in the vadose zone. Analysis of this model predicts that spreading can enhance the SVE contaminant recovery compared to conditions where the liquid does not spread. Experiments were conducted with spreading volatile oils hexane and heptane in wet porous media and capillary tubes, where spreading was observed at the scale of centimeters. Within porous medium columns up to a meter in height containing stagnant gas, spreading was less than ten centimeters and did not contribute significantly to hexane volatilization. Water film thinning and oil film pinning may have prevented significant oil film spreading, and thus did not enhance SVE at the scale of a meter. The experiments performed indicate that volatile oil spreading at the field scale is unlikely to contribute significantly to the efficiency of SVE.

T1 - A cation exchange model to describe Cs+ sorption at high ionic strength in subsurface sediments at Hanford site, USA JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 68 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 217 SN - 01697722 AB - A theoretical and experimental study of cation exchange in high ionic strength electrolytes was performed using pristine subsurface sediments from the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford site. These sediments are representative of the site contaminated sediments impacted by release of high level waste (HLW) solutions containing 137Cs+ in NaNO3 brine. The binary exchange behavior of Cs+–Na+, Cs+–K+, and Na+–K+ was measured over a range in electrolyte concentration. Vanselow selectivity coefficients (Kv) that were calculated from the experimental data using Pitzer model ion activity corrections for aqueous species showed monotonic increases with increasing electrolyte concentrations. The influence of electrolyte concentration was greater on the exchange of Na+–Cs+ than K+–Cs+, an observation consistent with the differences in ion hydration energy of the exchanging cations. A previously developed two-site ion exchange model [Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 66 (2002) 193] was modified to include solvent (water) activity changes in the exchanger phase through application of the Gibbs–Duhem equation. This water activity-corrected model well described the ionic strength effect on binary Cs+ exchange, and was extended to the ternary exchange system of Cs+–Na+–K+ on the pristine sediment. The model was also used to predict 137Cs+ distribution between sediment and aqueous phase (Kd) beneath a leaked HLW tank in Hanfordd''s S-SX tank using the analytical aqueous data from the field and the binary ion exchange coefficients for the pristine sediment. The Kd predictions closely followed the trend in the field data and were improved by consideration of water activity effects that were considerable in certain regions of the vadose zone plume.

An in situ load spring calibrated on a logarithmic scale from micronewtons to millinewtons, optical microscopy and Michelson interferometry are used to characterize its performance. The actuator consists of a force-amplifying plate that spans two voltage-controlled clamps, and walking is achieved by appropriately sequencing signals to these three components. In the clamps, normal force is borne by equipotential rubbing counterfaces, enabling friction to be measured against load. Using different monolayer coatings, we show that the static coefficient of friction can be changed from 0.14 to 1.04, and that it is load-independent over a broad range. We further find that the static coefficient of friction does not accurately predict the force generated by the actuator and attribute this to nanometer-scale presliding tangential deflections.

Four groups of cats were studied: control, FIV positive, methamphetamine (MA) exposed, and FIV positive plus MA exposed. Frontal gray matter, frontal white matter, and caudate brain extracts were studied with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS). In the frontal white matter, FIV-infected cats showed decreases in creatine and choline, while MA-treated cats had elevated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The decreased glutamate in FIV cats normalized with MA exposure. FIV and MA both affect brain metabolites individually and combined. 1HMRS is useful for evaluating the effects of FIV and drug abuse in the brain.

The Young’s modulus, hardness, glass transition temperature and viscosity all increase with the substitution La by Gd and Gd by Lu while the thermal expansion coefficients decrease. Compared to the 55Si25Al20RE oxynitride glasses, replacement of Al by Mg lowers the glass transition temperatures and viscosities and raises the thermal expansion coefficients substantially. On the other hand, the Young’s moduli are higher in the Mg-bearing glasses. These behaviors are seen to be a result in changes in the nature of the bonding in the glass structure.

One difficulty is that small-voids evolve rapidly and reversibly, whereas the secular evolution of the overall system is extremely slow. Thus, rate theory models for the void size distribution entail a set of stiff, coupled equations. A combined Master equation and Fokker–Planck numerical approach is introduced to address this problem and permit large time-steps at late times. Calculations are stable in practice, easily converged, and computationally efficient to large doses over a wide range in temperatures. The results are encouraging compared to experiment and earlier, related calculations.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 1 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 110 EP - 118 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15459624 AB - Twenty-seven laboratory experiments were conducted in a simulated smoking room to quantify rates of environmental to-bacco smoke (ETS) leakage to a nonsmoking area as a function of the physical and operational characteristics of the smoking room. Data are presented for the various types of leakage flows, the effect of these leaks on smoking room performance and nonsmoker exposure, and the relative importance of each leakage mechanism. The results indicate that the first priority for an effective smoking room is to maintain it depressurized with respect to adjoining nonsmoking areas. The amount of ETS pumped out by the smoking room door when it is opened and closed can be reduced significantly by substituting a sliding door for the standard swing-type door. An "open doorway" configuration used twice the ventilation flow of those with smoking room doors, but yielded less reduction in nonsmoker exposure. Measured results correlated well with results mod-eled with mass-balance equations (R 2 =0.82--0.99). Most of these results are based on sulfur hexafluoride (SF6 ) tracer gas leakage. Because five measured ETS tracers showed good correlation with SF6 , these conclusions should apply to ETS leakage as well. Field tests of a designated smoking room in an office building qualitatively agreed with model predictions.

T1 - A parallel rendezvous algorithm for interpolation between multiple grids JO - Journal of Parallel & Distributed Computing JF - Journal of Parallel & Distributed Computing Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 64 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 266 SN - 07437315 AB - A number of computational procedures employ multiple grids on which solutions are computed. For example, in multi-physics simulations a primary grid may be used to compute mechanical deformation of an object while a secondary grid is used for thermal conduction calculations. When modeling coupled thermo-mechanical effects, solution data must be interpolated back and forth between the grids each timestep. On a parallel machine, this grid transfer operation can be challenging if the two grids are decomposed across processors differently for reasons of computational efficiency. If the grids move or adapt separately, the complexity of the operation is compounded. In this paper, we describe two grid transfer algorithms suitable for massively parallel simulations which use multiple grids. They use a rendezvous technique wherein a third decomposition is used to search for elements in one grid that contain nodal points of the other. This has the advantage of enabling the grid transfer operation to be load-balanced separately from the remainder of the computations. The algorithms are designed for use within the multi-physics code SIERRA, an object-oriented framework developed at Sandia. Performance and scalability results are given for the grid transfer operation running on up to 1024 processors of two large parallel machines, the Intel Tflops (ASCI Red) and DEC-Alpha CPlant cluster.

The approach accounts for the heat released by hydrate dissociation and convection–conduction heat transfer in the gas and hydrate zone. The system of governing equations is solved using a finite-difference scheme. For different well pressures and reservoir temperatures, the gas flow, the pressure and temperatures conditions in the reservoir are simulated. Distributions of temperature and pressure in the hydrate and gas regions and time evolutions of natural gas output also are evaluated. It is shown that the gas production rate is a sensitive function of well pressure. In addition, both heat conduction and convection in the hydrate zone is important. The simulation results are compared with the linearization approach and the shortcomings of the earlier approach are discussed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 108 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1544 EP - 1555 SN - 15206106 AB - Two poly(arylene ethynylene)s (PAEs) that are end-capped with α-terthiophene (T3) groups were prepared and structurally characterized by proton NMR, GPC, and optical spectroscopy. One of the polymers (T3PPE13) features a backbone structure that alternates phenylene ethynylene and bis(alkoxy)phenylene ethynylene repeat units. The second T3 end-capped polymer (T3PBpE12) features an alternating structure with biphenylene ethynylene and bis(alkoxy)phenylene ethynylene repeats. The absorption spectra of the T3 end-capped polymers are almost the same as those of the corresponding “parent polymers” (PPE164 and PBpE21, respectively) that lack the T3 end-groups. By contrast, whereas the fluorescence spectra of the parent polymers is dominated by a blue fluorescence with λmax = 425 nm, the emission spectra of the end-capped polymers contains a significant contribution of a green fluorescence (λ = 500-550 nm). This signals that the singlet exciton is efficiently trapped by the T3 end groups. Pulse radiolysis studies were carried out on all of the poly(arylene ethynylene)s in an effort to characterize the spectra and dynamics of the cation and anion radicals of the polymers. Pulse radiolytically generated solvent holes, and solvated electrons were transferred to the PAEs at nearly diffusion controlled rates. The absorption spectra of the anion radicals of the PAEs were similar and featured two strong absorption bands, one in the visible (λ = 600 nm) and the second in the near-IR (λ = 1600-2000 nm). The cation radicals of the T3 end-capped polymers also feature two absorption bands, one in the visible and the second in the near-IR. However, the spectra of the cation radicals of the T3 end-capped polymers show important differences. Specifically, the cation radical spectra of T3BpE12 and PBpE21 are identical, which reveals that the hole is not trapped by the T3 end-cap in the biphenylene polymer. By contrast, the cation radical absorption spectra of T3PPE13 (λmax = 640 and 1350 nm) and PPE164 (λmax = 600 and 1950 nm) are distinctly different. This difference suggests that the hole is localized on the T3 end-group in T3PPE13. Bimolecular hole-transfer experiments using bithiophene (T2, [inline equation] = 1.21 V), terthiophene (T3, [inline equation] = 0.91 V), and quaterthiophene (T4, %@mt;sys@%%@ital@%E%@rsf@%%@/xs;55;%lnwidth@%°°%@/xs;63;(%lnwidth-x55)@%%@mh;-x63@%%@sb@%ox%@sbx@%%@mx@% = 0.76 V) with PPE164 and PBpE21 allowed the determination of the oxidation potentials for the PAEs. The values are PPE164, [inline equation] = 0.91 V; PBpE21, [inline equation] = 0.85 V (all potentials vs SCE). The lower oxidation potential of the biphenylene based PAE explains why the hole is not trapped by the T3 end-groups in T3BpE12. The dynamics of intrachain hole transfer in T3PPE13 are much faster than the rate of hole transfer from the solvent, and on the basis of this result, the lower limit for intrachain hole transfer is determined to be kHT ≥ 1 × 108 s-1.

Acetaldehyde adsorbs molecularly on the stoichiometric SrTiO3(100) surface that contains predominately Ti4+ cations. The Ti4+ sites on the stoichiometric SrTiO3(100) surface are not sufficiently active for surface reactions such as aldol condensation, as opposed to the Ti4+ ions on the TiO2(001) surface. However, decomposition and redox reactions of acetaldehyde occur in the presence of surface defects created by Ar+ sputtering. The decomposition products following reactions of acetaldehyde on the defective surface include H2, C2H4, CO, C4H6, and C4H8. Reductive coupling to produce C2H4 and C4H8 is the main reaction pathway for decomposition of acetaldehyde on the sputter-reduced SrTiO3(100) surface.

Indeed, simple treatments based on application of standard Förster theory to the most likely acceptor candidate fails by 5 orders of magnitude in the prediction of the energy transfer rates to P+. We present a qualitative description of the electronic energy transfer (EET) dynamics that involves mixing of the strongly allowed transitions in P+ with a manifold of exotic lower-energy transitions to facilitate EET on the observed time scale of 150 fs. This description is obtained using a three-step procedure. First, multireference configuration-interaction (MRCI) calculations are performed using the semiempirical INDO/S Hamiltonian to depict the excited states of P+. However, these calculations are qualitatively indicative but of insufficient quantitative accuracy to allow for a fully a priori simulation of the EET and so, second, the INDO results are used to establish a variety of scenarios, empirical parameters that are then fitted to describe a range of observed absorption and circular dichroism data. Third, EET according to these scenarios is predicted using a generalized Förster theory that uses donor and acceptor transition densities, which together account for the large size of the chromophores in relation to the interchromophore spacings. The spectroscopic transitions of P+ that facilitate the fast EET are thus unambiguously identified.

Specifically, we propose in this paper a technique for approximately including the effects of a background plasma on a photon distribution function by replacing the influence of the plasma degrees of freedom with quantum fluctuation and damping terms in the radiation transport equation. We consider the Markov limit where the electron relaxation time scale is short compared to the photon relaxation time scale. The result is a quantum Langevin equation for the photon number operator; the quantum radiative transfer equation. A dissipation term appears which is the imaginary part of the dielectric function for an electron gas undergoing electron scattering due to emission and absorption of photons. It depends only on the initial state of the plasma. A quantum noise operator also appears as a result of spontaneous emission of photons from the electron plasma. The thermal expectation value of this noise operator yields the emissivity which is exactly of the form of the Kirchoff–Planck relation. This non-zero thermal expectation value is a direct consequence of a fluctuation–dissipation relation. The fluctuations of the quantum noise operator yield the deviations from the Kirchoff–Planck relation. Using the quantum radiative transfer equation, transient fluctuations in the photon number are computed.

T1 - A mechanical model for multiply-oriented conjugate deformation bands JO - Journal of Structural Geology JF - Journal of Structural Geology Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 325 SN - 01918141 AB - A unique suite of three pairs of conjugate deformation band sets is present in Jurassic sandstones in the southeastern corner of the San Juan basin, northwestern New Mexico. In order of sequential development, these conjugate pairs are oriented to form each of the three principal conjugate attitudes: (1) upright X''s, (2) plan-view X''s, and (3) recumbent X''s. The symmetry axes of the three different X-geometries at this location are parallel, suggesting that the three systems are genetically related. A relatively simple stress history, with the horizontal stresses striking northeast and southeast and varying in magnitude but not in orientation, plausibly explains this suite of sequentially developed conjugate structures. In this model, the upright X''s formed with dip-slip, normal offset under the initial conditions where the overburden was the maximum stress and the northeast-striking horizontal stress was the intermediate stress. Plan-view X''s with strike-slip offset formed next, as the northeast-striking stress increased (due to northeastward Laramide translation of the Colorado Plateau and interaction with the local basement-cored Nacimiento Uplift) to become the maximum stress, leaving the overburden stress as the intermediate stress although unchanged in magnitude. As the northeast-directed horizontal compressive stress continued to increase, it eventually created a condition where the horizontal stresses equaled or exceeded the overburden stress, resulting in small-scale thrusting along the recumbent X''s. The proposed mechanical model shows that shear stress levels dropped temporarily after the formation of the upright X''s, providing a hiatus in deformation and making the deformation at the next stage distinct, without overlap. The three systems of intersecting conjugate deformation bands that resulted have severely compartmentalized potential reservoirs in this unit, and illustrate why similar high-porosity, deformation-banded units can have low hydrocarbon production rates despite otherwise good reservoir potential.

Aerosols generated were simulated environmental tobacco smoke, cedar wood smoke, cooking oil fumes, and propane stove particles. The time-integrated responses of three nephelometers and a monitor for particle-bound polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were compared with gravimetric respirable suspended particulate matter (RSP) in a controlled-atmosphere chamber. In general, the monitor responses increased linearly with increasing mass concentration. However, the two monitors that reported mass per volume concentrations tended to overreport the actual RSP concentrations by factors up to 4.4. The real-time PAH monitor did not respond to cooking oil fumes, indicative of little PAH being present in the aerosol. One of the monitors that has been used in a variety of studies reported in the literature (DustTrak) was collocated with gravimetric RSP samplers in several hospitality venues in the Louisville, KY, area. Field studies indicated that the units overreported actual RSP concentrations by factors of 2.6-3.1, depending on whether the sampling was conducted in the nonsmoking or smoking sections of the facilities.

Both linear and annular arrays were produced by robotically depositing a concentrated PZT gel-based ink to create high-aspect-ratio PZT elements (thickness ∼ 130 µm and height ∼1-2 mm) of varying pitch (∼250-410 µm). The arrays were densified and infiltrated with an epoxy resin to fabricate PZT-polymer composites with 2-2 connectivity. Their dielectric and piezoelectric constants were measured and compared with values obtained for bulk PZT and those predicted theoretically.

A synergistic suite of ion introduction and manipulation technologies were developed and integrated as a high-performance front-end to a commercial Bruker Daltonics FTICR instrument. The developments incorporated included a dual-ESI-emitter ion source; a dual-channel electrodynamic ion funnel; tandem quadrupoles for collisional cooling and focusing, ion selection, and ion accumulation, and served to significantly improve the sensitivity, dynamic range, and mass measurement accuracy of the mass spectrometer. In addition, a novel technique for accumulating ions in the ICR cell was developed that improved both resolution and mass measurement accuracy. A new calibration methodology is also described where calibrant ions are introduced and controlled via a separate channel of the dual-channel ion funnel, allowing calibrant species to be introduced to sample spectra on a real-time basis, if needed. We also report on overall instrument automation developments that facilitate high-throughput and unattended operation. These included an automated version of the previously reported very high resolution, high pressure reversed phase gradient capillary liquid chromatography (LC) system as the separations component. A commercial autosampler was integrated to facilitate 24 h/day operation. Unattended operation of the instrument revealed exceptional overall performance: Reproducibility (1–5% deviation in uncorrected elution times), repeatability (<20% deviation in detected abundances for more abundant peptides from the same aliquot analyzed a few weeks apart), and robustness (high-throughput operation for 5 months without significant downtime). When combined with modulated-ion-energy gated trapping, the dynamic calibration of FTICR mass spectra provided decreased mass measurement errors for peptide identifications in conjunction with high resolution capillary LC separations over a dynamic range of peptide peak intensities for each spectrum of 103, and >105 for peptide abundances in the overall separation.

Results show unambiguously that steady cone jets of water in air without the assistance of glow discharge can be formed for the range of electrical conductivities we have explored. The absence of corona discharge has been proven not only for the good agreement between the experimental results and the scaling laws given in the cone-jet literature but also for the independence of the spray current on the atmosphere (air or CO2) in which water was being electrosprayed. Other regimes such as the electric dripping and the assisted glow discharge cone-jet mode that appear in the electrospraying of water in air at room temperature have also been investigated.

Data on discharge, specific conductivity (SC), total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, K+, HCO3-, SO42-, Cl-, F- and SiO2 came from six USGS stations ranging from the Colorado-New Mexico border to below Albuquerque, New Mexico. Linear regression, Kendall's S, and Seasonal Kendall's S' were used to detect trends, and ANOVA was used to analyze spatial differences between stations. Statistically significant increasing trends occurred in SC, TDS, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, K+, Cl-, and F- in the uppermost reaches, and significant decreasing trends of SC, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, HCO3-, and SO42- occurred at the lower stations around Albuquerque. Both fluoride concentrations and pH values increased at and below Albuquerque over the study period. Discharge data show an increasing trend across all stations. Spatially, data for dissolved substances show generally linear upstream to downstream increases in concentrations in the upper four stations, with several notable nonlinear increases at and below Albuquerque (SC, TDS, Na+, -). Significant increases in pH appear at and below Albuquerque, relative to upstream stations, probably due to improved sewage treatment.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 40 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 149 EP - 164 SN - 1093474X AB - A climate change impacts assessment for water resources in the San Joaquin River region of California is presented. Regional climate projections are based on a 1 percent per year CO2 increase relative to late 20th Century CO2 conditions. Two global projections of this CO2 increase scenario are considered (HadCM2 and PCM) during two future periods (2010 to 2039 and 2050 to 2079). HadCM2 projects faster warming than PCM. HadCM2 and PCM project wetter and drier conditions, respectively, relative to present climate. In the HadCM2 case, there would be increased reservoir inflows, increased storage limited by existing capacity, and increased releases for deliveries and river flows. In the PCM case, there would be decreased reservoir inflows, decreased storage and releases, and decreased deliveries. Impacts under either projection case cannot be regarded as more likely than the other. Most of the impacts uncertainty is attributable to the divergence in the precipitation projections. The range of assessed impacts is too broad to guide selection of mitigation projects. Regional planning agencies can respond by developing contingency strategies for these cases and applying the methodology herein to evaluate a broader set of CO2 scenarios, land use projections, and operational assumptions. Improved agency access to climate projection information is necessary to support this effort.

For this purpose, the originally incompressible viscoplastic selfconsistent (VPSC) formulation of Lebensohn and Tome´ (Acta Metall. Mater. 41 (1993) 2611) has been extended to deal with compressible polycrystals. In doing this, both the deviatoric and the spherical components of strain-rate and stress are accounted for. Such an extended model allows us to account for the void and for porosity evolution, while preserving the anisotropy and crystallographic capabilities of the VPSC model. The formulation can be adjusted to match the Gurson model, in the limit of rate-independent isotropic media and spherical voids. We present several applications of this extended VPSC model, which address the coupling between texture, plastic anisotropy, void shape, triaxiality, and porosity evolution.

The crystal structure of two low-temperature phases (below 120 K and below 40 K) is determined. An approximate structure of the magnetically ordered phase (T[sub N]=1.36 K) is proposed. In the ordered state the order-parameter critical exponent β=0.17(0.01), the in-plane correlation length exponent ν=0.94(0.07), and the staggered susceptibility critical index γ=1.01(0.04) were determined. Comparing these results to the exact solution for a 2D Ising magnet, we conclude that, although 2D behavior is apparent in CsDy(MoO[sub 4])[sub 2], there are deviations from the simple 2D Ising model. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Diffusion tensor tomography MRI (DTT MRI) method is based on reconstructing the diffusion tensor field from measurements of projections of the tensor field. Projections are obtained by appropriate application of rotated diffusion gradients. In the present paper, the potential of a novel data acquisition scheme, PROPELLER (Periodically Rotated Overlapping ParallEL Lines with Enhanced Reconstruction), is examined in combination with DTT MRI for its capability and sufficiency for diffusion imaging. An iterative reconstruction algorithm is used to reconstruct the diffusion tensor field from rotated diffusion weighted blades by appropriate rotated diffusion gradients. DTT MRI with PROPELLER data acquisition shows significant potential to reduce the number of weighted measurements, avoid ambiguity in reconstructing diffusion tensor parameters, increase signal-to-noise ratio, and decrease the influence of signal distortion.

Tensile tests were conducted at temperatures in the range 470-560°C and initial strain rates of 10[sup -2]-10[sup -4] s[sup -1], and the starting and deformed samples were characterised using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. The material showed superplasticity with a maximum elongation to failure of 660% at 530°C and a strain rate of 10[sup -3] s[sup -1]; the stress–strain curves exhibited a steady state flow following a rapid drop in flow stress, which corresponds to a microstructural transformation from a coarse grained to a uniform fine grained microstructure through dynamic recrystallisation (DRX). Despite the initial bimodal grain structure, the DRX process resulted in a gradual increase in average boundary misorientation angles. The development of these high angle boundaries was a result of the absorption of dislocations into sub-boundaries and grain boundary sliding induced subgrain rotation.

The rocks have MgO(wt%)<6%, and trace amounts of Cr and Ni. About 56% of extracted solid containing normative clinopyroxene and plagioclase explains the liquid line of descent from the more mafic sample (MgO wt%=5.89) to the most evolved. The most ubiquitous phases in the basalts are plagioclase and augite. Ilmenite and magnetite are accessories in all rocks. Olivine is present in small amount only in one sample (RT 89-7). Based on principles of Ca–Na plagioclase–liquid exchange, estimates of pre-eruptive magmatic water are < 2.4 wt%. From clinopyroxene–liquid equilibria, calculated pressures and temperatures of ascending magmas are between 1 atm and 0.617 GPa, and 1068 °C and 1166 °C, respectively. Compositions of magnetite–ilmenite pairs and olivine–clinopyroxene–oxide assemblages yield post-eruptive oxygen fugacities of ΔNNO=-1.923, and one pre-eruptive value of ΔNNO=- 2.455. A simple model of asthenospheric melting and magma ponding in the lower crust fits the physical parameters.

We ran high-resolution self-similar and ΛCDM hydro-simulations and built an analytical model to study this effect. Our model reproduces the ΛCDM simulation results to several per cent accuracy, passes various tests against self-similar simulations, and shows a wider range of applicability than previous analytical models. Our model in its continuous version is free of simulation limitations, such as a finite simulation box and finite resolution, and allows an accurate prediction of the kinetic SZ power spectrum, Cl. For the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe cosmology, we find for the reionization redshift and . The corresponding temperature fluctuation is several μK at these ranges. The dependence of Cl on the reionization history allows an accurate measurement of the reionization epoch. For the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) experiment, Cl can be measured with ∼1 per cent accuracy. Cl scales as . Given cosmological parameters, ACT would be able to constrain zreion with several per cent accuracy. Some multireionization scenarios degenerate in the primary CMB temperature and temperature–E polarization (TE) measurement can be distinguished with ∼ 10 σ confidence.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 132 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 473 EP - 494 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - A mesoscale atmospheric forecast model configured in a hybrid isentropic–sigma vertical coordinate and used in the NOAA Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) for operational numerical guidance is presented. The RUC model is the only quasi-isentropic forecast model running operationally in the world and is distinguished from other hybrid isentropic models by its application at fairly high horizontal resolution (10–20 km) and a generalized vertical coordinate formulation that allows model levels to remain continuous and yet be purely isentropic well into the middle and even lower troposphere. The RUC model is fully described in its 2003 operational version, including numerics and physical parameterizations. The use of these parameterizations, including mixed-phase cloud microphysics and an ensemble-closure-based cumulus parameterization, is fully consistent with the RUC vertical coordinate without any loss of generality. A series of experiments confirm that the RUC hybrid θ–σ coordinate reduces cross-coordinate transport over a quasi-horizontal σ coordinate. This reduction in cross-coordinate vertical transport results in less numerical vertical diffusion and thereby improves numerical accuracy for moist reversible processes. Finally, a forecast is presented of a strong cyclogenesis case over the eastern United States in which the RUC model produced an accurate 36-h prediction, especially in a 10-km nested version. Horizontal and vertical plots from these forecasts give evidence of detailed yet coherent structures of potential vorticity, moisture, and vertical motion.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 4 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 191 EP - 195 SN - 15306984 AB - This paper describes the development of glucose biosensors based on carbon nanotube (CNT) nanoelectrode ensembles (NEEs) for the selective detection of glucose. Glucose oxidase was covalently immobilized on CNT NEEs via carbodiimide chemistry by forming amide linkages between their amine residues and carboxylic acid groups on the CNT tips. The catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide liberated from the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase upon the glucose and oxygen on CNT NEEs leads to the selective detection of glucose. The biosensor effectively performs a selective electrochemical analysis of glucose in the presence of common interferents (e.g., acetaminophen, uric and ascorbic acids), avoiding the generation of an overlapping signal from such interferers. Such an operation eliminates the need for permselective membrane barriers or artificial electron mediators, thus greatly simplifying the sensor design and fabrication.

We then discuss, how this picture leads to changes in the current calculations of nucleosynthetic yields from these outbursts. The behavior of the electron fraction, mixing and explosion energy (as a function of mass) are quite different, than the assumptions used in many nucleosynthesis calculations, and we will focus on these issues.

As we are on the precipice of the INTEGRAL era of annihilation radiation science, it is timely to review the findings of the CGRO/OSSE instrument by posing four new puzzles for the INTEGRAL satellite’s SPI and IBIS teams. The puzzles are: (1) Is there a Galactic Center point source? (2) What is the Bulge–Disk ratio? (3) Does the annihilation fountain exist? (4) Is there Gould Belt emission? Answering these four puzzles will not be easy and will likely require dedicated observations beyond those scheduled as part of the Core Program. However, if all four can be definitively answered, annihilation radiation science will have moved very close to being able to account for the production of galactic positrons and will be ready to use positron annihilation to probe the Galaxy.

In reality, the non-zero momentum of target electrons bound in atoms blurs this ideal scattering response in a process known as Doppler broadening. The design and understanding of advanced Compton telescopes, thus, depends critically on the ability to accurately account for Doppler broadening effects. For this purpose, a Monte Carlo package that simulates detailed Doppler broadening has been developed for use with the powerful, general-purpose GEANT3 and GEANT4 radiation transport codes. This paper describes the design of this package, and illustrates results of comparison with selected experimental data.

An ectomycorrhizal genotype of Suillus bovinus, collected from a Zn-contaminated site and showing adaptive Zn tolerance in vitro, was compared with a nonadapted isolate from a nonpolluted area. A dose-response experiment was performed. Dynamics of plant and fungal development, and phosphate and ammonium uptake capacity, were assessed under increasing Zn stress. Effects of Zn on transpiration, nutrient content and Zn accumulation were analysed. Significant Zn-inoculation interaction effects were observed for several responses measured, including uptake rates of phosphate and ammonium; phosphorus, iron and Zn content in shoots; transpiration; biomass of external mycelia; and fungal biomass in roots. The Zn-tolerant S. bovinus genotype was particularly efficient in protecting pines from Zn stress. The growth of a Zn-sensitive genotype from a normal wild-type population was inhibited at high Zn concentrations, and this isolate could not sustain the pines' acquisition of nutrients. This study shows that well adapted microbial root symbionts are a major component of the survival strategy of trees that colonize contaminated soils.

The luminosity increase provided by the Main Injector will require upgrades beyond those implemented for the first stage (Run IIa) of the Tevatron''s Run II physics program. The upgrade of the CDF calorimetry includes: (1) the replacement of the slow gas detectors on the front face of the Central Calorimeter with a faster scintillator version which has a better segmentation, and (2) the addition of timing information to both the Central and EndPlug Electromagnetic Calorimeters to filter out cosmic ray and beam related backgrounds.

To allow efficient tracking closest to the beam (≈1 mm) these detectors should be sensitive up to their physical edge (i.e. edgeless). Edgeless (without guard rings) microstrip planar detectors can be operated at cryogenic temperatures (about 130° K) where leakage currents due to the active edge are drastically reduced. A silicon microstrip prototype, cut perpendicular to the strips, has been tested with a pion beam at CERN to study its efficiency close to the edge by using reference tracks from a simple silicon telescope. Results indicate that the detector measures tracks with good efficiency up to the physical edge of the silicon.

The current inner silicon detectors at CDF (SVXIIa and L00) will not tolerate the radiation dose associated with high-luminosity running and will need to be replaced. A new readout chip (SVX4) has been designed in radiation-hard 0.25 μm, CMOS technology. Single-sided sensors are arranged in a compact structure, called a stave, with integrated readout and cooling systems. This paper describes the general design of the Run IIb system, testing results of prototype electrical components (staves), and prototype silicon sensor performance before and after irradiation.

T1 - Wire-bond failures induced by resonant vibrations in the CDF silicon detector JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 518 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 277 SN - 01689002 AB - Unrecoverable internal failures of modules in the CDF Run2 Silicon detector have been observed since its installation in early 2001. A fraction of these failures has been categorized as infant mortality. Other failures occurring later were strongly correlated with fixed trigger conditions. These failures are explained by wire-bonds breaking due to fatigue stress induced by resonant vibration. These resonant vibrations are a direct consequence of the oscillating Lorentz forces induced by the 1.4 T magnetic field on wire-bonds carrying non-DC current. Changes have been implemented in data-taking procedures in order to minimize the occurrences of such failures and to prolong the lifetime of the detector itself. A more general analysis of the topic has been pursued. Changes in the packaging and assembly processes for future applications have been investigated.

This novel detector type can generate X–Y two-dimensional position sensitivity with single-sided processing and readout. The prototype Si stripixel detector has an active area of about 3 cm×6 cm, which is divided into two identical halves. Both X and Y pitches are 80 μm, with a stereo angle of 4.6°. There are 384 X strips and 384 Y strips on each half of the detector. The first batch of prototype Si stripixel detectors has been produced at BNL. The initial tests of detector electrical properties have yielded good results. Charge collection tests on test-structure strip detectors have shown both X and Y position sensitivities to laser light. Beam tests on the Si strip detectors have been done at RIKEN in November 2002.

The neutrals that originate in LHC at every PP interaction develop showers of minimum ionizing particles in the absorbers placed in front of the separation dipoles. The shower energy, measured by suitable detectors in the absorbers is proportional to the number of neutral particles and, therefore, to the luminosity. The principle lends itself to a luminosity measurement on a bunch-by-bunch basis. However, to make such a measurement feasible, the system must comply with extremely stringent requirements. Its speed of operation must match the 40 MHz bunch repetition rate of LHC. Besides, the detector must stand extremely high radiation doses. This paper discusses the solutions adopted to comply with these requirements.

SVT''s 35 μm impact parameter resolution enables CDF''s Level 2 trigger to distinguish primary and secondary particles, and hence to collect large samples of hadronic bottom and charm decays. We review some of SVT''s key design features. Speed is achieved with custom VLSI pattern recognition, linearized track fitting, pipelining, and parallel processing. Testing and reliability are aided by built-in logic state analysis and test-data sourcing at each board''s input and output, a common interboard data link, and a universal “Merger” board for data fan-in/fan-out. Speed and adaptability are enhanced by use of modern FPGAs.

In transmission geometry, the energy loss of heavy elastic recoils in the self-supporting silicon foil of known thickness is measured over a continuous range of recoil energies using time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometry. By essentially calibrating the Si detector for each channel over the measured energy region using the TOF spectrometer, an uncertainty of less than 4% is achieved. The stopping powers are parameterized using a sixth order polynomial and compared with the limited experimental data in the literature. In the energy regimes where experimental data exist, the present data exhibit good agreement with most data. Stopping powers predicted by SRIM (the stopping and range of ions in matter) are in reasonable agreement with much of the experimental data, and SRIM-2003 predictions are in somewhat better agreement than SRIM-2000. There are, however, still some discrepancies between SRIM predictions and the experimental data.

Irradiations were performed at room temperature in transmission geometry with Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe ions at energies between 100 and 600 keV. Nanoparticles result from situations in which ion impacts also give rise to nanometer size craters on the surface. The number of nanoparticles increased linearly with increasing ion dose. The rate of nanoparticle ejection scales with the probability, calculated with standard Monte Carlo techniques, for high-energy deposition events by individual ions in the near-surface region regardless of the irradiation. The percentage of near-surface, high-energy recoils that eject a nanoparticle is high. The rate of nanoparticle ejection depends on energy transfer to the Au lattice and not on the ion that makes the impact or its energy. Ejected nanoparticles account for the nonlinear component of sputtering. Monte Carlo calculations offer a general technique for predicting situations in which nanoparticles can be ejected and thus when the nonlinear contribution to the sputtering yield is likely to be significant.

The reaction of the spallation neutrons with this gas will result in the bombardment of the interior of these tubes with energetic tritons and protons. For APT to be able to meet its tritium production goals, it is necessary that the holdup of the tritium in the tube walls be minimized. To examine the tritium retention characteristics of stainless steel, one of the tube reference materials, accelerator implantation experiments were performed. In these experiments, deuterium was used in place of tritium to eliminate the problem of tritium contamination. Deuterons with energies up to 200 keV and protons with energies up to 600 keV were implanted into stainless steel (SS 316L) samples to fluences as high as 5 × 1022 D/m2 and 5 × 1022 p/m2. Thermal desorption spectroscopy showed that approximately 3% of the deuterium was retained within the sample. Approximately 0.5% of the deuterium permeated through to the back surface of the sample where a zirconium getter trapped the deuterium. The deuterium trapped in the zirconium layer was measured by nuclear reaction analysis. Eight-micron thick copper and nickel coatings were applied to the implantation side of the stainless steel substrate in an attempt to reduce the retention and permeation of the deuterium. The copper-coated stainless steel was not successful in reducing the retention and permeation, however the nickel coated stainless steel reduced both the retention and permeation substantially.

JO - Organic Geochemistry JF - Organic Geochemistry Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 35 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 157 SN - 01466380 AB - A 45 cm long core from Zabuye Salt Lake (Tibetan Plateau, S.W China) was studied to reveal the possible interference between diagenesis and climate signals. Steroids, including sterols and sterenes, dominate the soluble organic matter in these cores. The relative abundance of C27 sterol to the C29 sterols decreases with depth, resulting in a predominance of C29 sterols at the bottom section of this core. This change in the relative molecular distribution could be attributed to both environmental/ecological change and diagenetic complication of molecular signals. Sterols in the shallow sediments are relatively enriched in 13C compared to those from lower within the core. This enrichment is possibly associated either with environmental/climatic change (e.g., increase of salinity and global pCO2 level change etc.) or it could be attributed to the biogeochemical change of organic matter during early diagenesis. 4,4-dimethyl spirosterenes and their possible precursors, 4,4-dimethyl sterenes, constitute a major component of the apolar fraction of organic matter. δ13C values of the 4,4-dimethyl sterenes indicate that they are derived from phytoplanktonic algae rather than from bacteria. The δ13C values of the regular and spiro steroids differ by >2‰ suggesting either backbone arrangement of steroids might have involved isotopic fractionation or that these steroids are derived separately from different biological sources.

This instability results in the formation of a low-density void-containing 'spongy' state upon further irradiation. Variations in the elastic wave velocity with alloy concentration in the spongy state can be explained by the balance between the enhancement of dynamic annealing caused by the presence of Si and the preferential formation of dangling bonds on Ge sites compared with Si sites. This preference for Ge rather than Si dangling bonds may also lead to a migration of the Si atoms away from surfaces, which results in an increase in the sound velocity.

The trends in the behaviour can be fully understood in terms of the differences in the density and the speed of sound in the materials. Increased structural disorder, arising from O diffusion in most of the Pb-containing systems, leads to a further reduction in the thermal conductivity. We suggest strategies for lowering the thermal conductivity even further.

Complementary diffraction space mapping (DSM) measurements on the same specimens (using 17 keV X-rays from a synchrotron radiation source in symmetric and asymmetric reflection geometries) provided information on their state of epitaxy, interplanar tilt, strain, crystallite twinning, and orthorhombicity. The effects of substrate crystallography and the presence of a buffer layer on the epitaxial quality of the overlying M-123 film were also studied using DSM. A correlation between the interfacial strain present in each thin film specimen and the degree of twinning detected in the M-123 film microstructure was observed. The observed strain relief (complementing crystallite twinning) is consistent with a mechanism based on microdomain formation due to the oxygen atom reordering accompanying the transition of the tetragonal phase of MBa2Cu3O7−x to the orthorhombic phase during the M-123 film deposition/oxygenation process.

These measurements demonstrated that, given identical measurement conditions, the pressure dependence of Tc is independent of the isotopic composition of the material. Assuming that these isotopically different materials have an identical unit cell compressibility, it is found that for all three materials Tc scales linearly with the quasi-two-dimensional unit cell area, and is thus inversely proportional to the quasi-two-dimensional carrier density in κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(SCN)2.

The electronic heat capacity is separated from the lattice contribution in a thermodynamically consistent way maintaining the entropy balance of superconducting and normal states at the critical temperature. It is shown that for a fully gapped superconductor the data can only be explained by a reduced (≈50%) superconducting volume fraction. The data are compatible with 100% superconductivity in the case where line nodes are present in the superconducting gap function.

Feasibility of manufacturing such superconducting wires is dependent on high processing speed, often a limitation of vapor and solution-based YBCO deposition processes. In this work, YBCO films were fabricated via a new diethanolamine-modified trifluoroacetic film solution deposition method. Modifying the copper chemistry of the YBCO precursor solution with diethanolamine enables a hundredfold decrease in the organic pyrolysis time required for MA/cm2 current density (Jc) YBCO films, from multiple hours to ∼20 s in atmospheric pressure air. High quality, ∼0.2 μm thick YBCO films with Jc (77 K) values ⩾2 MA/cm2 at 77 K are routinely crystallized from these rapidly pyrolyzed films deposited on LaAlO3. This process has also enabled Jc (77 K)=1.1 MA/cm2 YBCO films via 90 m/h dip-coating on Oak Ridge National Laboratory RABiTS™ textured metal tape substrates. This new YBCO solution deposition method suggests a route toward inexpensive and commercializable ∼$10/kA m solution deposited YBCO coated conductor wires.

T1 - The physics basis for ignition using indirect-drive targets on the National Ignition Facility. JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 339 EP - 491 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - The 1990 National Academy of Science final report of its review of the Inertial Confinement Fusion Program recommended completion of a series of target physics objectives on the 10-beam Nova laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as the highest-priority prerequisite for proceeding with construction of an ignition-scale laser facility, now called the National Ignition Facility (NIF). These objectives were chosen to demonstrate that there was sufficient understanding of the physics of ignition targets that the laser requirements for laboratory ignition could be accurately specified. This research on Nova, as well as additional research on the Omega laser at the University of Rochester, is the subject of this review. The objectives of the U.S. indirect-drive target physics program have been to experimentally demonstrate and predictively model hohlraum characteristics, as well as capsule performance in targets that have been scaled in key physics variables from NIF targets. To address the hohlraum and hydrodynamic constraints on indirect-drive ignition, the target physics program was divided into the Hohlraum and Laser–Plasma Physics (HLP) program and the Hydrodynamically Equivalent Physics (HEP) program. The HLP program addresses laser–plasma coupling, x-ray generation and transport, and the development of energy-efficient hohlraums that provide the appropriate spectral, temporal, and spatial x-ray drive. The HEP experiments address the issues of hydrodynamic instability and mix, as well as the effects of flux asymmetry on capsules that are scaled as closely as possible to ignition capsules (hydrodynamic equivalence). The HEP program also addresses other capsule physics issues associated with ignition, such as energy gain and energy loss to the fuel during implosion in the absence of alpha-particle deposition. The results from the Nova and Omega experiments approach the NIF requirements for most of the important ignition capsule parameters, including drive temperature, drive symmetry, and hydrodynamic instability. This paper starts with a review of the NIF target designs that have formed the motivation for the goals of the target physics program. Following that are theoretical and experimental results from Nova and Omega relevant to the requirements of those targets. Some elements of this work were covered in a 1995 review of indirect-drive [J. D. Lindl, “Development of the indirect-drive approach to inertial confinement fusion and the target physics basis for ignition and gain,” Phys. Plasmas 2, 3933 (1995)]. In order to present as complete a picture as possible of the research that has been carried out on indirect drive, key elements of that earlier review are also covered here, along with a review of work carried out since 1995. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The code is used to determine the changes in the profiles induced by large toroidal flows on NSTX-like equilibria [with NSTX being the National Spherical Torus Experiment, M. Ono, S.M. Kaye, Y.-K.M. Peng et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)] where flows exceeding the sound speed lead to a considerable outward shift of the plasma. The code is also used to study the effects of poloidal flow when the flow velocity profile varies from subsonic to supersonic with respect to the poloidal sound speed. It is found that pressure and density profiles develop a pedestal structure characterized by radial discontinuities at the transonic surface where the poloidal velocity abruptly jumps from subsonic to supersonic values. These results confirm the conclusions of the analytic theory of R. Betti and J. P. Freidberg [Phys.

Ono et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)] have achieved normalized beta values twice the conventional tokamak limit at low internal inductance and with significant bootstrap current. These experimental results have motivated a computational re-examination of the plasma aspect ratio dependence of ideal no-wall magnetohydrodynamic stability limits. These calculations find that the profileoptimized no-wall stability limit in high bootstrap fraction regimes is well described by a nearly aspect ratio invariant normalized beta parameter utilizing the total magnetic field energy density inside the plasma. However, the scaling of normalized beta with internal inductance is found to be strongly aspect ratio dependent at sufficiently low aspect ratio. These calculations and detailed stability analyses of experimental equilibria indicate that the nonrotating plasma no-wall stability limit has been exceeded by as much as 30% in NSTX in a high bootstrap fraction regime. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 751 EP - 760 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Gas cells have been used in radiographic sources to assist in the focusing of intense electron beams, produced using pulsed-power accelerators, onto a high atomic number target to generate bremsstrahlung radiation. The quality of the resulting source increases linearly with the dose and inversely with the square of the spot size. The electron beams of order 30 kA current and up to 10 MeV energy drive a rapid breakdown of the gas increasing the gas conductivity through direct ionization by the beam and electron avalanche. Nonideal effects associated with the breakdown result in an axial sweep of the beam focus position that smears the radiographic spot. Higher plasma conductivity in the cell could lead to an improved radiation source. Hybrid particle-in-cell simulations show improvement of the beam spot via pre-ionization of the gas cell prior to arrival of the electron beam pulse. In this paper, the propagation of a 30 kA, 3.5 MeV electron beam, focused into gas and plasma-filled cells is modeled. The simulations compare the effectiveness of beam focusing using neutral gas, partially ionized gas, and fully ionized (plasma-filled) cells. The results show that an initial plasma density approaching 10[sup 16] cm[sup -3] is sufficient to prevent significant net currents and the subsequent beam sweep that is observed in an optimized gas cell. The net current is calculated to increase as the plasma density falls to that of the beam due mainly to plasma current resistive decay and electron inertial effects at the target. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Historically, most network elasticity models have been based on idealized assumptions of uniform chain length constrained to highly symmetric orientations. We present a novel, three-dimensional explicit polymer and node network model (EPnet) that includes both randomly distributed filler particles (nodes) and polymer lengths taken from a Gaussian distribution. The molecular level polymer forces that produce elasticity are assumed to operate between pairs of connected network nodes. The numerical model is amenable to any molecular force that depends on the distance between two nodes, however, for this paper, we assume that the polymer chain segments that connect the filler particles obey a simple two-force model, i.e. a constant force required to stretch a single polymer chain and a force arising from the binding energy between a polymer chain and a filler particle surface. Free ends, i.e. polymer segments connected to only one particle, do not contribute to the elasticity. With these assumptions, the model contains intrinsic mechanisms that appear to predict the phenomena of yield stress, tensile failure, permanent set and stress hysteresis. The model is applied to a mesoscale volume element (∼1 μm3) of silica-filled polydimethylsiloxane to study the micromechanical stress in response to various strains, e.g. tensile, compressive, shear and swell. Model predictions are in quantitative agreement with tensile stress/strain experiments.

Herein, we report the cloning of a novel isoform of avian Thy-1 and the subsequent expression, purification, and characterization of a soluble form of Thy-1 from Lec1 mammalian and Tn5 insect cells. The novel isoform of Thy-1 differs from the previously reported chicken isoform by eight amino acid residues, but these changes do not alter the secondary structure content, the disulfide bond pattern, or the sites of glycosylation. The disulfide linkage pattern and glycoform distribution on each N-glycosylation site of recombinant chicken Thy-1 from both cell lines were determined by a combination of amino-terminal sequencing and mass spectrometry. The mass spectral data showed that the amino-terminal glutamine was modified to pyroglutamate. Recombinant Thy-1 from Lec1 cells contained (GlcNAc)2(Man)5 on asparagine 60, whereas the oligosaccharides on asparagine 23 and 100 contained ∼80% (GlcNAc)2(Man)4 and ∼20% (GlcNAc)2(Man)5. The glycoforms on Thy-1 expressed in Tn5 cells were more heterogeneous, with the oligosaccharides ranging over (GlcNAc)2(Fuc)0–2(Man)2–3 on each site. The ability to generate recombinant glycoproteins with restricted carbohydrate heterogeneity is the first step toward the systematic study of structure–function relationships in intact glycoproteins.

SN - 00334553 AB - We construct and evaluate a new three-dimensional model of crust and upper mantle structure in Western Eurasia and North Africa (WENA) extending to 700 km depth and having 1° parameterization. The model is compiled in an a priori fashion entirely from existing geophysical literature, specifically, combining two regionalized crustal models with a high-resolution global sediment model and a global upper mantle model. The resulting WENA1.0 model consists of 24 layers: water, three sediment layers, upper, middle, and lower crust, uppermost mantle, and 16 additional upper mantle layers. Each of the layers is specified by its depth, compressional and shear velocity, density, and attenuation (quality factors, QP and QS). The model is tested by comparing the model predictions with geophysical observations including: crustal thickness, surface wave group and phase velocities, upper mantle n velocities, receiver functions, P-wave travel times, waveform characteristics, regional 1-D velocities, and Bouguer gravity. We find generally good agreement between WENA1.0 model predictions and empirical observations for a wide variety of independent data sets. We believe this model is representative of our current knowledge of crust and upper mantle structure in the WENA region and can successfully be used to model the propagation characteristics of regional seismic waveform data. The WENA1.0 model will continue to evolve as new data are incorporated into future validations and any new deficiencies in the model are identified. Eventually this a priori model will serve as the initial starting model for a multiple data set tomographic inversion for structure of the Eurasian continent.

The expert elicitation approach integrates the knowledge of informed analysts to quantify UAs and treat uncertainty (‘quantification-including-uncertainty’). The analysis focuses on (a) the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) sequence EFCs for which the UAs are being assessed, (b) the knowledge and experience of analysts (who should include trainers, operations staff, and PRA/human reliability analysis experts), and (c) facilitated translation of information into probabilities useful for PRA purposes. Rather than simply asking the analysts their opinion about failure probabilities, the approach emphasizes asking the analysts what experience and information they have that is relevant to the probability of failure. The facilitator then leads the group in combining the different kinds of information into a consensus probability distribution. This paper describes the expert elicitation process, presents its technical basis, and discusses the controls that are exercised to use it appropriately. The paper also points out the strengths and weaknesses of the approach and how it can be improved. Specifically, it describes how generalized contextually anchored probabilities (GCAPs) can be developed to serve as reference points for estimates of the likelihood of UAs and their distributions.

Dust particle inventories are a concern in next-step fusion devices. The increase in duty cycle will lead to a scale-up in the amount of particles generated by plasma material interactions. These particles will be chemically and radiologically hazardous and it will be important to establish that the in-vessel particle inventory is within regulatory limits. The detection device consists of two interlocking combs of closely spaced conductive traces on a Teflon circuit board. When a direct current bias is applied, impinging dust creates a transient short circuit between the traces. The increase in bias current generates a signal pulse that is counted by standard nuclear counting electronics. We present data on the response of the device in air and vacuum to carbon particles. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Significant perturbations of the plasma induced by such probes can mask the actual physics involved in the operation of these devices. In Hall thrusters, probe-induced perturbations can produce changes in the discharge current and plasma parameters on the order of their steady-state values. These perturbations are explored by varying the material, penetration distance, and residence time of various probe designs. A possible cause of these perturbations appears to be the secondary electron emission, induced by energetic plasma electrons, from insulator ceramic tubes in which the probe wire is inserted. A new probe in which a low secondary electron emission material, such as metal, shields the probe ceramic tube, is shown to function without producing such large perturbations. A segmentation of this shield further prevents probe-induced perturbations, by not shortening the plasma through the conductive shield. In a set of experiments with a segmented shield probe, the thruster was operated in the input power range of 500 W–2.5 kW and discharge voltages of 200–500 V, while the probe-induced perturbations of the discharge current were below 4% of its steady-state value in the region in which 90% of the voltage drop takes place. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Along with the increasing interest in using the microcantilever as a sensing platform, there is also a requirement for a reliable calibration technique. Many researchers have used the concept of optical lever detection to construct microcantilever deflection readout instruments for chemical, physical, and biological detection. However, without an AFM piezo z scanner, it is very difficult to precisely calibrate these instruments. Here, we present a step-by-step method to conveniently calibrate an instrument using commercially available piezoresistive cantilevers. The experimental results closely match the theoretical calculation. Following this procedure, one can easily calibrate any optical cantilever deflection detection system with high reproducibility, precision, and reliability. A detailed discussion of the optical lever readout system design has been addressed in this article. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a numerical process for dynamically introducing local fine resolution on computational grids during the solution process, in response to unresolved error in a computation. Fast adaptive composite-grid (FAC) methods are a class of algorithms that exploit the multilevel structure of AMR grids to solve elliptic problems efficiently. This paper develops a theoretical foundation for AFACx, an asynchronous FAC method. A new multilevel condition number estimate establishes that the convergence rate of the AFACx algorithm does not degrade as the number of refinement levels in the AMR hierarchy increases.

In standard pattern search, decisions regarding the update of the iterate and the step-length control parameter are synchronized implicitly across all search directions. We lose this feature in asynchronous parallel pattern search since the search along each direction proceeds semiautonomously. By bounding the value of the step-length control parameter after any step that produces decrease along a single search direction, we can prove that all the processes share a common accumulation point and, if the function is continuously differentiable, that such a point is a stationary point of the standard nonlinear unconstrained optimization problem.

The flow nonstationarity stems from medium nonstationarity and internal and external boundaries of the study domain. The solute flux is described as a space-time process where time refers to the solute flux breakthrough through a control plane (CP) at some distance downstream of the solute source and space refers to the transverse displacement distribution at the CP. The analytically derived moment equations for solute transport in a nonstationarity flow field are too complicated to solve analytically, a numerical finite difference method is implemented to obtain the solutions. This approach combines the stochastic model with the flexibility of the numerical method to boundary and initial conditions. The developed method is applied to study the effects of heterogeneity and nonstationarity of the hydraulic conductivity and chemical sorption coefficient on solute transport. The study results indicate all these factors will significantly influence the mean and variance of solute flux.

JO - Stochastic Environmental Research & Risk Assessment JF - Stochastic Environmental Research & Risk Assessment Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 18 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 39 EP - 46 SN - 14363240 AB - In this work, we describe a stochastic method for delineating well capture zones in randomly heterogeneous porous media. We use a moment equation (ME) approach to derive the time-dependent mean capture zones and their associated uncertainties. The mean capture zones are determined by reversely tracking the non-reactive particles released at a small circle around each pumping well. The uncertainty associated with the mean capture zones is calculated based on the particle displacement covariances for nonstationary flow fields. The flow statistics are obtained either by directly solving the flow moment equations derived with a first-order ME approach or from Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) of flow. The former constitutes a full ME approach, and the latter is a hybrid ME-MCS approach. This hybrid approach is invoked to examine the validity of the transport component of the stochastic method by ensuring that the ME and MC transport approaches have the same underlying flow statistics. We compared both the full ME and the hybrid ME-MCS results with those obtained with a full MCS approach. It has been found that the three approaches are in excellent agreement when the variability of hydrologic conductivity is small (s Y2=0.16). At a moderate variability (s Y2=0.5), the hybrid ME-MCS and the full MCS results are in excellent agreement whereas the results from the full ME approach deviate slightly from the full MCS results. This indicates that the (first-order) ME transport approach renders a good approximation at this level of variability and that the first-order ME flow approximation may not be sufficiently accurate at this variability in the case of divergent/convergent flow. The first-order ME flow approach may need to be corrected with higher-order terms even for moderate s Y2 although the literature results reveal that the first-order ME flow approach is robust for uniform mean flow (i.e., giving accurate results even with s Y2 as large as four).

The vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) nucleoproteins are kept associated with its negative-strand RNA during the mRNA synthesis and replication, in contrast to the tobacco mosaic virus whose nucleoproteins are released from RNA. It has been a puzzle how the VSV RNA is packaged to meet the contradicting requirements of protection and the accessibility to the polymerase. We report an 18 A˚ resolution structure of the recombinant nucleoprotein-RNA complex determined by single-particle electron microscopy. In the 3D density map, a ring of density is resolved on the inner surface and the density is proposed to be the RNA. The RNA is located on the inner surface of the decameric complex near the top end. This is dramatically different from the RNA packaging in TMV, but consistent with previously published biochemical findings.

The material was analysed using scanning Auger microanalysis. The laser treatment resulted in extensive refinement of the microstructure, and Fe oxide particles were strongly bonded to the matrix owing to reaction induced wetting by liquid Al. The spectroscopy data indicated the formation of several possible stoichiometric compounds as a result of the chemical reaction between Fe[sub 3] O[sub 4] and the alloy. Iron produced as an intermediate product of the aluminothermic reaction between Fe[sub 3] O[sub 4] and Al further reacted with Al (and Si) to form Fe and (Fe,Si) aluminides. The composition across the interface region between the reaction product and the matrix was found to vary gradually, resulting in good bonding. Often, the interfacial region was also found to consist of aluminides of varying composition and stoichiometry.

In this case, the most cited advantage of PLD is the simplicity of preserving the stoichiometry of the target material. Recently, there are many reports showing that PLD can significantly improve the growth of even simple metallic thin films/multilayers. Here it is the ultrahigh instantaneous deposition rate and the high kinetic energy of PLD that play the most crucial roles. The improved growth, in particular for the first several monolayers, provides great opportunities to design artificial thin film structures that have promising physical properties.

The AIWPS® was comprised of advanced facultative pond (AFP), secondary facultative pond (SFP) and maturation pond (MP) all arranged in series. The variations of pH, DO and temperature in the SFP and MP followed the diurnal cycle of sunlight intensity. Algal photosynthesis being dependent on sunlight radiation, its activity reached climax at early afternoons with DO saturation in the SFP and MP in excess of over 300% and pH in the range of 8.6–9.4. The SFP and MP were thermally stratified with gradients of 3–5°C/m, especially, during the time of peak photosynthesis. The thermal gradient in the AFP was moderated by convective internal currents set in motion as a result of water temperature differences between the influent wastewater and contents of the reactor. In conclusion, the AFP possessed remarkable ability to attenuate process variability with better removal efficiencies than SFP and MP. Hence its use as a lead treatment unit, in a train of ponds treating tannery wastewaters, should always be considered.

Unidirectional, 0/90°, and ±45° FMs were tested. Specimens were subjected to impact at 90° by angular SiC particles of average diameter 143 μm, traveling at 50–100 m/s. Steady-state erosion rates in the FMs were higher than predicted by a rule of mixtures based on erosion rates of the cell and cell-boundary phases. The relatively rapid FM erosion was attributed to chipping of the Si3N4 cells caused by radial cracks. Bending strengths were measured before and after erosion testing to steady state at 100 m/s. The strength of monolithic Si3N4 decreased 22%; the BN was not tested because insufficient material was available. Within experimental error, the strengths of the FMs were unaffected by erosion. Fracture data obtained approximately 1.5 years apart suggested that the FMs were susceptible to environmentally assisted slow crack growth.

We find that the inclusion of electron-impurity scattering in the calculations is crucial when modeling the intersubband transport dynamics in these devices. However, the calculated gain is higher than inferred from experiments. This can be attributed to wavefunction localization caused by dephasing scattering, which is unaccounted for in the present model.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Conformal GaInP[sub 2] layers of 10–20 nm were grown on the nanocrystals after organic capping molecule removal by a thermal annealing treatment. We show that the InP nanocrystals retain their crystallinity, shape and luminescence efficiency after being exposed to growth temperatures of 600 °C. The GaInP[sub 2] nanocrystal composite showed strong photoluminescences indicating effective passivation of surface states.

SN - 14346001 AB - The production of heavy quarks in nuclei is modified from that for a free nucleon by a number of nuclear effects including shadowing of the nuclear gluon distributions, energy loss of the incident gluon, and, in the case of the J/Ψ, disassociation of the c&cmacr;l; pair (absorption) as it exits the nucleus. Measurements in the E866/NuSea 800 GeV fixed target experiment show a large suppression of the closed-charm yield with strong kinematical dependencies and with a slightly stronger suppression for the Ψ' than for the J/Ψ near XF = 0. On the other hand, a measurement of the D meson nuclear dependence near XF = 0 shows no suppression. At RHIC the J/&:Psi; is thought to be a key signature for the creation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions, but the non-QGP suppression already seen in p-A collisions at lower energies shows that we must first understand these non-QGP effects on the f/Psi in order to gain a clear understanding of its production in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The most recent run at RHIC included deuteron-gold collisions and will serve as a baseline for these cold nuclear matter effects at RHIC energy. Here I report on the first results for the J/Ψ and for open-charm at PHENIX including the d-Au results. The present knowledge of gluon shadowing is very uncertain, especially in the large rapidity region of the PHENIX muon arms, and these measurements should help us determine how strong it is and perhaps even its dependence on impact parameter.

SN - 14346001 AB - In the recent experiment E97-111 at Jefferson Lab the unseparated cross section for the (e,e'p) reaction on 4He was measured at recoil momenta up to 530 MeV/c. In the plane-wave impulse approximation, many calculations predict a sharp minimum in the cross section for recoil momenta around 450 MeV/c and show that its location is sensitive to the short-range part of the internucleon potential. However, re- action dynamic effects such as final-state interactions and meson-exchange currents can obscure such a minimum. To distinguish and study these effects data were taken at several different kinematic points. The preliminary results of the experiment are presented and compared to recent model calculations.

SN - 14346001 AB - QCD predicts a phase transition between hadronic matter and a Quark Gluon Plasma at high energy density. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a new facility dedicated to the experimental study of matter under extreme conditions. Already the first round of experimental results at RHIC indicated that the conditions to create a new state of matter are indeed reached in the collisions of heavy nuclei. Studies of particle spectra and their correlations at low transverse momenta provide evidence of strong pressure gradients in the highly interacting dense medium and hint that we observe a system in thermal equilibrium. Recent runs with high statistics allow us to explore the regime of hard-scattering processes where the suppression of hadrons at large transverse momentum, and quenching of di-jets are observed thus providing further evidence for extreme high density matter created in collisions at RHIC.

A Summing Peak Effect Study was conducted at three laboratories to determine the effect of using an efficiency calibration based on a 152Eu241Am lung phantom. The measurement data at all three laboratories showed the presence of sum peaks. While one of the laboratories found only small biases (<) when using the 152Eu241Am calibration, tile other facilities noted up to 30% positive bias in the 140 keV to 190 keV energy range that prevents the use of the 152Eu241Am lung phantom for routine calibrations. Although manufactured by different vendors, the three facilities use similar types of germanium detectors (38 cm2 by 25 mm thick or 38 cm2 by 30 nun thick) for counting. These results underscore the need to evaluate tile coincidence summing effect, which appear system dependent, when using a nuclide such as 152Eu for the calibration of low-energy lung counting systems and highlight tile problem of using a general calibration curve in place of specific nuclide calibration factors.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/02/03/ VL - 43 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 849 EP - 859 SN - 00062960 AB - The structure of a cytochrome c[sub7] (PpcA) from Geobacter sulfurreducens was determined by X-ray diffraction at 1.45 Å resolution; the R factor is 18.2%. The protein contains a three-heme core that is surrounded by 71 amino acid residues. An unusual feature of this cytochrome is that it has 17 lysine residues, but only nine hydrophobic residues that are larger than alanine. The details of the structure are described and compared with those of cytochrome c[sub7] from Desulfuromonas acetoxidans and with cytochromes c[sub3]. The two cytochrome c[sub7] molecules have sequences that are 46% identical, but the arrangements of the hemes in the two structures differ; the rms deviation of all α-carbons is 2.5 Å. These cytochromes can reduce various metal ions. The reduction site of the chromate ion in D. acetoxidans is occupied by a sulfate ion in the crystal structure of PpcA. We identified four additional homologues of cytochrome c[sub7] in the G. sulfurreducens genome and three polymers of c[sub7]-type domains. Of the polymers, two have four repeats and one has nine repeats. On the basis of sequence alignments, one of the hemes in each of the cytochrome c[sub7]-type domains does not have the bis-histidine coordination. The packing of the molecules in the crystal structure of PpcA suggests that the polymers have an elongated conformation and might form a "nanowire".

The heat sources supply the thermal energy used in radioisotope thermoelectric generators to power spacecraft for deep space missions and to heat critical components in the cold environs of space. Los Alamos National Laboratory has manufactured heat sources for approximately two decades. The aqueous purification of 238PuO2 is required, due to rigorous total Pu-content, actinide and non-actinide metal impurity, and neutron emission rate specifications. The 238PuO2 aqueous purification process is a new capability at Los Alamos National Laboratory as previously, aqueous purified 238PuO2 occurred at other DOE complexes. The Pu-content and actinide and non-actinide metal impurity specifications are met well within specification in the Los Alamos process, though reduction in neutron emission rates have been challenging. High neutron emission rates are typically attributed to fluoride content in the oxide. The alpha decay from 238Pu results in α,n reactions with light elements such as 17O, 18O, and 19F resulting in high neutron emission rates in the purified 238PuO2. Simple 16O-exchange takes care of the high NER due to 17O, and 18O. A new method to reduce the NER due to 19F in the purified 238PuO2 is presented in this paper. The method involves addition of water to purified 238PuO2, followed by heating to remove the water and liberating fluoride as HF. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Do the benefits outweigh the risks? Are there equivalent alternatives? Can a test facility be constructed (or modified) in a reasonable amount of time? Is the test article an accurate representation of the flight system? Are the costs too restrictive? The obvious benefits of full power ground nuclear testing; obtaining systems integrated reliability data on a full-scale, complete end-to-end system; come at some programmatic risk. Safety related information is not obtained from a full-power ground nuclear test. This paper will discuss and assess these and other technical considerations essential in the decision to conduct full power ground nuclear-or alternative-tests. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/04/ VL - 699 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 463 EP - 472 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The main parameter of interest for space thermal power conversion to electricity is specific power, defined as the total electric power output per unit of system mass, rather than the cycle thermal efficiency. For a closed Brayton cycle, performance with two active working fluids, nitrogen tetroxide and aluminum chloride, is compared to that with an inert mixture of helium and xenon having a molecular mass of 40. A chemically active working fluid is defined here as a chemical compound that has a relatively high molecular weight at temperatures appropriate for the compressor inlet and dissociates to a lighter molecular weight fluid at typical turbine inlet temperatures. The active working fluids may have the advantage of a higher net turbomachinery work output and an advantageous enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient in the heat exchangers. The fundamental theory of the active working fluid concept is presented to demonstrate these potential advantages. Scoping calculations of the heat exchanger mass for a selected spacecraft application of 36.4 kW of electrical power output show that the nitrogen tetroxide active working fluid has an advantageous 7% to 30% lower mass-to-power ratio than that for the inert noble gas mixture, depending on the allowable turbine inlet temperature. The calculations for the aluminum chloride system suggest only a slight improvement in performance relative to the inert noble gas mixture. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Because of this, space reactors place a premium on self-calibrating, long-term reliable instrumentation. The primary temperature measurements for the SP-100 reactor were to be made using W/W-Re thermocouples. However, the large gamma and neutron dose expected at the coolant outlet (>1 MGy γ; 3×1015 fast neutron fluence) combined with the high temperature (1375 K nominal; 1650 K maximum) meant that the thermocouples would drift significantly over the lifetime of the reactor. A combined Johnson noise resistance thermometer capable of performing under these extreme conditions was developed by ORNL (Carroll, 1994). Johnson noise is a fundamental representation of temperature—it is the vibration of the electronic field surrounding atoms as they thermally vibrate. Johnson noise, however, is fundamentally a small signal (∼4×10-7 Vrms for a 100 Ω resistor at 300 K, using a 100 kHz bandwidth) spread throughout the frequency spectrum. Creating the electronics and signal processing required to effectively measure and interpret the noise signal remains challenging. ORNL has recently developed closely related Johnson Noise Thermometry (JNT) electronics and signal processing capabilities under a DOE International Nuclear Energy Research Initiative Project with the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (U.S. DOE, 2002). An overview of the application of JNT to space nuclear power and the current status of the ORNL JNT capabilities is the subject of this paper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A practical algorithm is proposed for adaptive state filtering and control in nonlinear dynamic systems when the state equations are unknown or are too complex to model analytically. The state equations and inverse plant model are approximated by using neural networks. A framework for a neural network based nonlinear dynamic inversion control law is proposed, as an extrapolation of prior developed restricted complexity methodology used to formulate the adaptive state filter. Examples of adaptive filter performance are presented for an SSME simulation with high pressure turbine failure to support extrapolations to adaptive control problems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Terrestrial nuclear power plants rely upon varying degrees of direct human control and interaction for operations and maintenance over a forty to sixty year lifetime. In contrast, an SRPS is intended to provide continuous, remote, unattended operation for up to fifteen years with no maintenance. Uncertainties, rare events, degradation, and communications delays with Earth are challenges that SRPS control must accommodate. Autonomous control is needed to address these challenges and optimize the reactor control design. In this paper, we describe an autonomous control concept for generic SRPS designs. The formulation of an autonomous control concept, which includes identification of high-level functional requirements and generation of a research and development plan for enabling technologies, is among the technical activities that are being conducted under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Space Reactor Technology Program in support of the NASA’s Project Prometheus. The findings from this program are intended to contribute to the successful realization of the JIMO mission. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

If fission propulsion systems are to be developed to their full potential, however, near-term customers need to be identified and initial fission systems successfully developed, launched, and utilized. One key to successful utilization is to develop reactor designs that are highly testable. Testable reactor designs have a much higher probability of being successfully converted from paper concepts to working space hardware than do designs which are difficult or impossible to realistically test. “Test Effectiveness” is one measure of the ability to realistically test a space reactor system. The objective of this paper is to discuss test effectiveness as applied to the design, development, flight qualification, and acceptance testing of space fission systems. The ability to perform highly effective testing would be particularly important to the success of any near-term mission, such as NASA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter, the first mission under study within NASA’s Project Prometheus, the Nuclear Systems Program. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The fundamental research ranged from material mechanical behavior of fuel cladding during the depressurization phase of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) to basic heat transfer research in gas- or sodium-cooled cores. The largest facility simulated the initial phase (less than 1 min. of transient time) of a LOCA in a commercial pressurized-water reactor. The nonnuclear reactor cores of these facilities were mimicked via advanced, highly instrumented electric fuel rod simulators locally manufactured at ORNL. This paper provides an overview of these experimental facilities with an emphasis on the fuel rod simulators. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One of the key issues associated with refractory alloys is their performance in a neutron irradiation environment. The available radiation effects data are reviewed for alloys based on Mo, W, Re, Nb and Ta. The largest database is associated with Mo alloys, whereas Re, W and Ta alloys have the least available information. Particular attention is focused on Nb-1Zr, which is a proposed cladding and structural material for the reactor in the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) project. All of the refractory alloys exhibit qualitatively similar temperature-dependent behavior. At low temperatures up to ∼0.3TM, where TM is the melting temperature, the dominant effect of radiation is to produce pronounced radiation hardening and concomitant loss of ductility. The radiation hardening also causes a dramatic decrease in the fracture toughness of the refractory alloys. These low temperature radiation effects occur at relatively low damage levels of ∼0.1 displacement per atom, dpa (∼2×1024 n/m2, E>0.1 MeV). As a consequence, operation at low temperatures in the presence of neutron irradiation must be avoided for all refractory alloys. At intermediate temperatures (0.3 to 0.6 TM), void swelling and irradiation creep are the dominant effects of irradiation. The amount of volumetric swelling associated with void formation in refractory alloys is generally within engineering design limits (<5%) even for high neutron exposures (>>10 dpa). Very little experimental data exist on irradiation creep of refractory alloys, but data for other body centered cubic alloys suggest that the irradiation creep will produce negligible deformation for near-term space reactor applications. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

For the DDG concept, initial tests have been completed to measure pressure drop versus flow rate for a prototypic core flow channel, with gas exiting to atmospheric pressure conditions. The experimental results of the completed DDG tests presented in this paper validate the predicted results to within a reasonable margin of error. These tests have resulted in a re-design of the flow annulus to reduce the pressure drop. Subsequent tests will be conducted with the re-designed flow channel and with the outlet pressure held at 150 psi (1 MPa). Design of a similar test for a nominal flow channel in the HPR heat exchanger (HPR-HX) has been completed and hardware is currently being assembled for testing this channel at 150 psi. When completed, these test programs will provide the data necessary to validate calculated flow performance for these reactor concepts (pressure drop and film temperature rise). © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this system, power is transferred from the reactor to the Brayton system via a circulated closed loop gas. To allow early utilization, system designs must be relatively simple, easy to fabricate, and easy to test using non-nuclear heaters to closely mimic heat from fission. This combination of attributes will allow pre-prototypic systems to be designed, fabricated, and tested quickly and affordably. The ability to build and test units is key to the success of a nuclear program, especially if an early flight is desired. The ability to perform very realistic non-nuclear testing increases the success probability of the system. In addition, the technologies required by a concept will substantially impact the cost, time, and resources required to develop a successful space reactor power system. This paper describes design features, assembly, and test matrix for the testing of a thermally simulated 32kW direct-drive gas-cooled reactor in the Early Flight Fission — Test Facility (EFF-TF) at Marshall Space Flight Center.

Several previous studies' involved immobilization of single-site catalysts, such as transition metal complexes onto mesopore surfaces. However, in contrast to zeolite-based catalysts, which utilize the "shape/size selective cavity effect", the selectivity of mesoporous silica-based systems was mainly controlled by the intrinsic coordination environment of the heterogenized catalytic group.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/02/04/ VL - 126 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1285 EP - 1289 SN - 00027863 AB - The hydration of some of the alkaline earth divalent metal cations and first row transition metal cations is considered within the quasi-chemical theory of solutions. Quantum chemical calculations provide information on the chemically important interactions between the ion and its first-shell water molecules. A dielectric continuum model supplies the outer-shell contribution. The theory then provides the framework to mesh these quantities together. The agreement between the calculated and experimental quantities is good. For the transition metal cations, it is seen that the ligand field contributions play an important role in the physics of hydration. Removing these bonding contributions from the computed hydration free energy results in a linear decrease in the hydration free energy along the period. It is precisely such effects that molecular mechanics force fields have not captured. The implications and extensions of this study to metal atoms in proteins are suggested.

T1 - Measurement of the Absolute Drell-Yan Dimuon Cross Section in 800 GeV/c Proton-Proton and Proton-Deuterium Collisions. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/05/ VL - 698 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 100 EP - 104 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The Fermilab E866/NuSea Collaboration has measured the Drell-Yan dimuon cross sections in 800 GeV/c proton-proton and proton-deuterium collisions. This is the first measurement of the absolute Drell-Yan cross section in proton-proton collisions over a broad kinematic region and the most extensive study to date of the Drell-Yan cross section in proton-deuterium collisions. The Drell-Yan mechanism is sensitive to both the beam and target parton distributions. In particular, with the kinematics of the E866/NuSea data, the Drell-Yan mechanism is sensitive to the target antiquark distributions at low and intermediate Bjorken-x and to the beam quark distributions at high-x. Approximately 55K proton-proton and 121K proton-deuterium Drell-Yan events over the longitudinal momentum fraction (Feynman-x) range -0.05 < xF < 0.8 and the mass ranges 4.2 < Mμ+μ- < 8.7 GeV and 10.85 < M < 16.85 GeV are included. The data analysis will be described, and the doubly-differential M3d2σ/dMdxF, and triply-differential cross sections Ed3σ/dp3 will be presented. These results will be compared with previous measurements by E605 and E772 and to predictions based upon next-to-leading order calculations utilizing the MRST2001 and CTEQ6 global parton distribution function fits. The results indicate that recent global parton distribution fits provide a good description of the light antiquark sea in the nucleon over the Bjorken-x range 0.03 < x < 0.15. In contrast, the valence quark distributions appear to be overestimated by the current parton distribution fits as x → 1; a region in which, prior to this data, there was very little proton data to constrain the global fits. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The most promising reaction for the investigation of these distributions is the hard production of photons using Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS). This reaction can be accessed experimentally by determining the production asymmetry using polarized electrons on a proton target. Pioneering experiments with CLAS and HERMES have produced the first measurements of this asymmetry. We will review the current experimental program to study DVCS at Jefferson Lab. Recent high statistics data taken with CLAS at 5.75 GeV allows us to determine this asymmetry at low -t in the valence region (xB=0.1–0.5) up to a Q2 of 4 GeV2/c2. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/05/ VL - 698 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 172 EP - 175 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The Qweak experiment at Jefferson Lab aims to make a 4% measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic scattering at very low Q2 of a longitudinally polarized electron beam on a proton target. The experiment will measure the weak charge of the proton, and thus the weak mixing angle at low energy scale, providing a precision test of the Standard Model. Since the value of the weak mixing angle is approximately 1/4, the weak charge of the proton Q[sub w][sup p] = 1 ndash; 4 sin[sup 2] θ[sub w] is suppressed in the Standard Model, making it especially sensitive to the value of the mixing angle and also to possible new physics. The experiment is approved to run at JLab, and the construction plan calls for the hardware to be ready to install in Hall C in 2007. The experiment will be a 2200 hour measurement, employing: an 80% polarized, 180 μA, 1.2 GeV electron beam; a 35 cm liquid hydrogen target; and a toroidal magnet to focus electrons scattered at 9°, a small forward angle corresponding to Q2 = 0.03 (GeV/c)2. With these kinematics the systematic uncertainties from hadronic processes are strongly suppressed. To obtain the necessary statistics the experiment must run at an event rate of over 6 GHz. This requires current mode detection of the scattered electrons, which will be achieved with synthetic quartz Cˇerenkov detectors. A tracking system will be used in a low-rate counting mode to determine average Q2 and the dilution factor of background events. The theoretical context of the experiment and the status of its design are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In contrast with the commonly used effective operator approach, 126-dimensional Higgs fields are utilized to construct the Yukawa sector. R-parity symmetry is thus preserved at low energies. The symmetric mass textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking chain of SO(10) give rise to very good predictions for quark and lepton masses and mixings. The prediction for sin 2β agrees with the average of current bounds from BaBar and Belle. In the neutrino sector, our predictions are in good agreement with results from atmospheric neutrino experiments. Our model accommodates the LMA solution to the solar neutrino anomaly. The prediction of our model for the |Uev3| element in the MNS matrix is close to the sensitivity of current experiments; thus the validity of our model can be tested in the near future. We also investigate the correlation between the |Uev3| element and tan2 θ⊙ in a general two-zero neutrino mass texture. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Fewer ve’s were seen than expected at the 99.95% confidence level. In the context of two-flavor neutrino oscillations and CPT invariance, this measurement rules out all but the LMA region of solar neutrino oscillation parameter space.

The subdominant oscillation, the coupling of the electron neutrino flavor to the third mass eigenstate, has not been measured yet. The size of this coupling Ue3 and its corresponding mixing angle θ13 are critical for CP violation searches in the lepton sector and will define the future of accelerator neutrino physics. The current best limit on Ue3 comes from the CHOOZ reactor neutrino disappearance experiment. In this talk we review proposals for future measurements of θ13 with reactor antineutrinos. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Subsequently, the axion was recognized to be a good Cold Dark Matter candidate. Although dark-matter axions have only feeble couplings to matter and radiation, these axions may be detected through resonant conversion of axions into microwave photons in a high-Q cavity threaded by a strong static magnetic field. This technique is at present the only means whereby dark-matter axions with plausible couplings may be detected at the required sensitivity. This talk describes recent results from the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX), now the world’s most sensitive search for axions. There will also be a short overview of the ADMX upgrade, which promises sensitivity to even the more feebly coupled dark matter axions even should they make up only a minority fraction of the local dark matter halo. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The DBW2 gauge action provides enhancement of the good chiral symmetry properties of domain wall fermions at larger lattice spacing than the conventional Wilson gauge action. Taking advantage of these methods and performing a high statistics simulation, we find a significant finite volume effect between the nucleon axial charges calculated on lattices with (1.2 fm)3 and (2.4 fm)3 volumes (a ≈ 0.15 fm). On the large volume we find gA = 1.212 ± 0.027(stat) ± 0.024(norm). The quoted systematic error is the dominant one, corresponding to current renormalization. This theoretical first principles calculation, which does not yet include isospin breaking effects, yields a value of gA only a little bit below the experimental one, 1.2670 ± 0.0030. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Results indicate that a charmed-strange tetraquark csud or a bottom-strange tetraquark bsud with this “baryionium-type” wave function is not bound, in contrast to “molecular-type” D - K and B - K wave functions.

The expected integrated luminosity of 3pb-1 from this year’s first longitudinally polarized proton beams will provide an opportunity to study the helicity dependent heavy-quark and quarkonium production. This could lead to direct measurement of the gluon polarization in the polarized proton. I discuss the experimental sensitivity of such measurements with the PHENIX detector. New ideas to explore physics beyond the standard model with heavy quarks in the future high energy polarized p-p collisions are also discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The high statistic data will allow a leading order five-flavor decomposition (Δu, Δd, Δū, Δd, Δs = Δs) of the nucleon spin structure in the region of x = 0.12 ∼ 0.43 at a Q2 of 1.21 ∼ 3.22 GeV2. The combined spin dependent π+ + π- yield ratios will be measured, since the acceptance and the hadron efficiencies of the detectors can be accurately determined. Independent of fragmentation functions and parton distributions, the z-dependence (z = 0.38 ∼ 0.71) of the combined ratios provides a build-in test of factorization at the moderate Q2. We estimate statistical uncertainties associated with such measurements. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The previously observed suppression in central Au+Au collisions has been extended to much higher pT. New measurements from d+Au collisions are presented which help disentangle the mechanisms responsible for the suppression. Inclusive single hadron spectra are enhanced in d+Au relative to p+p, while two-particle azimuthal distributions are observed to be similar in p+p, d+Au and peripheral Au+Au collisions. The large suppression of inclusive hadron production and absence of the away-side jet-like correlations in central Au+Au collisions are shown to be due to interactions of the jets with the very dense medium produced in these collisions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

With increasing collision centrality, the yield at high transverse momenta increases more rapidly than the overall particle density, leading to a strong modification of the spectral shape. This change in spectral shape is qualitatively different from observations in Au+Au collisions at the same energy. The results provide important information for discriminating between different models for the suppression of high-pT hadrons observed in Au+Au collisions.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/05/ VL - 698 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 713 EP - 717 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The NA60 experiment takes place at the SPS at CERN, to study the production of open charm and prompt dimuons in collisions induced by proton and heavy ion beams on nuclear targets. For this task, several novel detector systems were added to the dimuon spectrometer and zero-degree calorimeter, which were previously used in the NA50 experiment. The main upgrade is a new silicon pixel vertex spectrometer. It tracks the charged particles that are produced through the collisions in the target and allows us to match their trajectories and momenta with those of the muons that are measured behind the hadron absorber in the muon spectrometer. Besides improving considerably the dimuon mass resolution, the vertex telescope measures the offset of each muon track with respect to the interaction point. This allows us to select events where charm mesons were produced. We present in this article first results from dimuon data that were acquired in Summer 2002 with a 400 GeV proton beam. A silicon microstrip telescope was used at that time, since only a part of the pixel telescope was completed. The results include an improved dimuon mass resolution and an extended phase space coverage when compared with previous experiments. Data from Pb-Pb collisions at 20 and 30 GeV per nucleon were collected in October 2002 with three planes of pixel detectors. We show the very good accuracy with which we could reconstruct the interaction vertex. We conclude with a reminder of our physics programme and the ongoing completion of the pixel detector telescope for the Indium-Indium run at 158 GeV per nucleon, scheduled for September and October 2003. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In central collisions at intermediate transverse momenta (1.5 < pT < 4.5 GeV/c) a significant fraction of all produced particles is protons and anti-protons. They show a different scaling behavior from that of pions. The p/π and p/π ratios are enhanced compared to peripheral Au+Au, p+p and e+e- collisions. This enhancement is limited to pT < 5 GeV/c as deduced from the ratio of charged hadrons to π0 measured in the range 1.5 < pT < 9 GeV/c.

Existing radiography techniques are inefficient for shielded material, often expensive and involve radiation hazards, real and perceived. We recently demonstrated that radiographs can be formed using cosmic-ray muons. Here, we show that compact, high-Z objects can be detected and located in 3 dimensions with muon radiography. The natural flux of cosmic-ray muons, approximately 10,000 m-2min-1, can generate a reliable detection signal in a fraction of a minute, using large-area muon detectors as used in particle and nuclear physics. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/05/ VL - 698 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 767 EP - 770 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Despite the recent successes of SNO and KamLAND, the only detectors sensitive to <1 MeV-neutrinos have been the radiochemical chlorine and gallium solar neutrino experiments. LENS is being developed to measure in real time the charge-current fluxes and energy spectra of the lowest energy solar neutrinos, from the pp and 7Be branches (91% and 7% of solar neutrinos). The detector medium will be a metal-loaded liquid scintillator (M-LS), with indium as the metal, which serves as the target for neutrino capture in the LS. 115In has 95.71% natural abundance and a 114.2-keV neutrino-capture Q-value. Neutrino capture in 115In produces a β particle and preferentially feeds an excited state of 115Sn that de-excites by delayed emission of two γ rays. This triple-coincidence “tag” in time and space in principle is a very powerful tool to discriminate neutrino-capture events from backgrounds. The International LENS R&D Collaboration is working to develop an In-LS neutrino detector, with special properties, such as high indium content, high light yield, high optical transparency, long-term chemical stability, and good signal-to-background ratio. Success in preparing the In-LS has been achieved via the synthesis of In-carboxylates that are soluble in pseudocumene LS (note that these methods may also be applicable to the preparation of Gd-LS for reactor antineutrino experiments). Testing of some prototype LENS In-LS detector modules has begun recently at the Gran Sasso Laboratory. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Two equal and opposite forces are applied along the x-axis (horizontal plane) in such a way that the origin remains fixed and the velocity of stretching is proportional to the distance from the origin. This problem was studied by Rajagopal et al. [Rheol. Acta 23 (1984) 213; Meccanica 19 (1984) 158] where a perturbation scheme was used to obtain the solution. Using the same similarity transformation given by Rajagopal et al., we solve the full equation numerically, using the method of quasi-linearization of Bellman and Kalaba [Quasilinearization and Non-Linear Boundary Value Problems, American Elsevier, New York, 1965].

Finite element codes and packages are being developed or improved but face the demand for higher predictive accuracy which, in turn, requires accurate property data and a more complete understanding of the stresses that are responsible for the elastic part of the springback. In order to provide experimental data for these calculations, synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out in order to determine the through-thickness distribution of axial and tangential residual stresses in an Al6022 deep drawn cup. The technique is able to provide true spatial resolutions of 0.05 mm for a strain measurement on a cup with 0.92 mm wall thickness. It is found that both axial and tangential stresses exhibit non-linear gradients through thickness and both exhibit a pronounced dependency on the axial position. The springback measured on a split ring cut from the cup agrees within 3% accuracy with the value predicted from the average of measured through-thickness stresses.

The processivity is thought to depend on the coordination between ATPase cycles of two motor domains and their neck linkers. Here we have used site-directed spin labeling electron spin resonance (SDSL-ESR) to determine the conformation of the neck linker in kinesin dimer in the presence and absence of microtubules. The spectra show that the neck linkers co-exist in both docked and disordered conformations, which is consistent with the results of monomeric kinesin [Nat. Struct. Biol. 9 (2002) 844]. In all nucleotide states, however, the neck linkers are well ordered when dimeric kinesin is bound to the microtubule. This result suggests that the orientation of each neck linker that is fixed rigidly controls the kinesin motion along microtubule tracks.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02/06/ VL - 279 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 4849 EP - 4861 SN - 00219258 AB - Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) is a primary participant in the repair of 8-oxoguanine, an abundant oxidative DNA lesion. Although the structure of Fpg has been established, amino acid residues that define damage recognition have not been identified. We have combined molecular dynamics and bioinformatics approaches to address this issue. Site-specific mutagenesis coupled with enzyme kinetics was used to test our predictions. On the basis of molecular dynamics simulations, Lys-217 was predicted to interact with the Os of extrahelical 8-oxognanine accommodated in the binding pocket. Consistent with our computational studies, mutation of Lys-217 selectively reduced the ability of Fpg to excise 8-oxoguanine from DNA. Dihydrouracil, also a substrate for Fpg, served as a nonspecific control. Other residues involved in damage recognition (His-89, Arg108, and Arg-109) were identified by combined conservatiordstructure analysis. Arg-108, which forms two hydrogen bonds with cytosine in Fpg-DNA, is a major determinant of opposite-base specificity. Mutation of this residue reduced excision of 8-oxoguanine from therreally unstable mispairs with guanine or thymine, while excision from the stable cytosine and adenine base pairs was less affected. Mutation of His-89 selectively diminished the rate of excision of 8-oxoguanine, whereas muration of Arg-109 nearly abolished binding of Fpg to damaged DNA. Taken together, these results suggest that His-89 and Arg-109 form part of a reading head, a structural feature used by the enzyme to scan DNA for damage. His-89 and Lys-217 help determine the specificity of Fpg in recognizing the oxidatively damaged base, while Arg-108 provides specificity for bases positioned opposite the lesion.

The crystal structures of Escherichia coli ATP-PRT have been solved in complex with the inhibitor AMP at 2.7 A˚ and with product PR-ATP at 2.9 A˚ (the ribosyl-triphosphate could not be resolved). On the basis of binding of AMP and PR-ATP and comparison with type I PRTs, the PRPP and parts of the ATP-binding site are identified. These structures clearly identify the AMP as binding in the 5-phosphoribosyl-α-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP)-binding site, with the adenosine ring occupying the ATP-binding site. Comparison with the recently solved Mycobacterium tuberculosis ATP-PRT structures indicates that histidine is solely responsible for the large conformational changes observed between the hexameric forms of the enzyme. The role of oligomerisation in inhibition and the structural basis for the synergistic inhibition by histidine and AMP are discussed.

The discovery in the 1950's that semiconductors can act as efficient heat pumps led to premature expectations of environmentally benign solid-state home refrigerators and power generators containing no moving parts. At issue are some fundamental scientific challenges, which could be overcome by deeper understanding of charge and heat transport in semiconductor nanostructures.

In a manner similar to that of entangled ropes, polymer chains can slide past but not through each other. Tube models of polymer dynamics and rheology are based on the idea that entanglements confine a chain to small fluctuations around a primitive path that follows the coarse-grained chain contour. Here we provide a microscopic foundation for these highly successful phenomenological models. We analyze the topological state of polymeric liquids in terms of primitive paths and obtain parameter-free, quantitative predictions for the plateau modulus, which agree with experiment for all major classes of synthetic polymers.

The variation of correlation energies with the truncation radii of short- and long-range lattice sums and with the number of wave vector sampling points in the first Brillouin zone is examined for polyethylene, polyacetylene, and polyyne, and is shown to be a function of the degree of π-electron conjugation or the fundamental band gaps. The t[sub 2] and t[sub 1] amplitudes in the atomic orbital (AO) basis are obtained by first computing the t amplitudes in the Bloch-orbital basis and subsequently back-transforming them into the AO basis. The plot of these AO-based t amplitudes as a function of unit cells also indicates that the t[sub 2] amplitudes of polyacetylene and polyyne exhibit appreciably slower decay than those of polyethylene, although the asymptotic decay behavior is invariably 1/r[sup 3]. The AO-based t[sub 1] amplitudes appear to correlate strongly with the electronic structure, and they decay seemingly exponentially for polyethylene whereas they stay at a constant magnitude across the seventh nearest neighbors of polyacetylene and polyyne, which attests to far reaching effects of nondynamical electron correlation mediated by orbital rotation. Nonetheless, the unit cell contributions to the correlation energies taper below 10[sup -6] hartree after 15 Å for all three polymers. The basis set dependence of the decay behavior of t[sub 2] amplitudes is also examined for linear hydrogen fluoride polymer (HF)[sub ∞] and linear beryllium polymer (Be)[sub ∞] employing the STO-3G, 6-31G, and 6-31G[sup *] basis sets, and proves to be rather small. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Exact resolution of ab initio optimized molecular orbitals in terms of deformed atomic minimal-basis orbitals. JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/02/08/ VL - 120 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2629 EP - 2637 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - A method is presented for expressing the occupied self-consistent-field (SCF) orbitals of a molecule exactly in terms of chemically deformed atomic minimal-basis-set orbitals that deviate as little as possible from free-atom SCF minimal-basis orbitals. The molecular orbitals referred to are the exact SCF orbitals, the free-atom orbitals referred to are the exact atomic SCF orbitals, and the formulation of the deformed “quasiatomic minimal-basis-sets” is independent of the calculational atomic orbital basis used. The resulting resolution of molecular orbitals in terms of quasiatomic minimal basis set orbitals is therefore intrinsic to the exact molecular wave functions. The deformations are analyzed in terms of interatomic contributions. The Mulliken population analysis is formulated in terms of the quasiatomic minimal-basis orbitals. In the virtual SCF orbital space the method leads to a quantitative ab initio formulation of the qualitative model of virtual valence orbitals, which are useful for calculating electron correlation and the interpretation of reactions. The method is applicable to Kohn–Sham density functional theory orbitals and is easily generalized to valence MCSCF orbitals. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The applications show that the quasiatomic orbitals deviate from the minimal-basis SCF orbitals of the free atoms by only very small deformations and that the latter arise mainly from bonded neighbor atoms. The Mulliken population analysis in terms of the quasiatomic minimal-basis orbitals leads to a quantum mechanical interpretation of small-ring strain in terms of antibonding encroachments of localized molecular-orbitals and identifies the origin of the bond-stretch isomerization in Si[sub 4]H[sub 6]. In the virtual SCF/DFT orbital space, the method places the qualitative notion of virtual valence orbitals on a firm basis and provides an unambiguous ab initio identification of the frontier orbitals. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Photoelectron spectra and vibrational branching fractions are reported for autoionizing Rydberg states converging to the NO[sub 2][sup +] X [sup 1]Σ[sub g][sup +](110) state, that is, with one quantum in the symmetric stretch, ν[sub 1], and one quantum in the bending vibration, ν[sub 2]. These results indicate that autoionization proceeds most efficiently through the loss of one quantum from the symmetric stretch rather than from the bending vibration. The implications of this result are discussed in terms of the autoionization mechanism. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/02/08/ VL - 120 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2708 EP - 2718 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The utility of recording Raman spectroscopy under liquid nitrogen, a technique we call Raman under nitrogen (RUN), is demonstrated for ferrocene, uranocene, and thorocene. Using RUN, low-temperature (liquid nitrogen cooled) Raman spectra for these compounds exhibit higher resolution than previous studies, and new vibrational features are reported. The first Raman spectra of crystalline uranocene at 77 K are reported using excitation from argon (5145 Å) and krypton (6764 Å) ion lasers. The spectra obtained showed bands corresponding to vibrational transitions at 212, 236, 259, 379, 753, 897, 1500, and 3042 cm-1, assigned to ring–metal–ring stretching, ring–metal tilting, out-of-plane CCC bending, in-plane CCC bending, ring-breathing, C–H bending, CC stretching and CH stretching, respectively. The assigned vibrational bands are compared to those of uranocene in THF, (COT)[sup 2-], and thorocene. All vibrational frequencies of the ligands, except the 259 cm-1 out-of-plane CCC bending mode, were found to increase upon coordination. A broad, polarizable band centered about ∼460 cm-1 was also observed. The 460 cm-1 band is greatly enhanced relative to the vibrational Raman transitions with excitations from the krypton ion laser, which is indicative of an electronic resonance Raman process as has been shown previously. The electronic resonance Raman band is observed to split into three distinct bands at 450, 461, and 474 cm-1 with 6764 Å excitation. Relativistic density functional theory is used to provide theoretical interpretations of the measured spectra. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The solvent concentration profile and weight gain by the polymer have been measured as a function of time. The weight gain is found to scale as t[sup 1/2], which is expected for Fickian diffusion. The concentration profiles are fit very well assuming Fick’s second law with a constant diffusivity. The diffusivity found from fitting Fick’s second law is found to be independent of time and equal to the self-diffusion constant in the dilute solvent limit. We separately calculated the diffusivity as a function of concentration using the Darken equation and found that the diffusivity is essentially constant for the concentration range relevant for interdiffusion. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The potential loss in sensitivity is overcome by combining prepolarization in fields on the order of millitesla and signal detection with a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). The enhanced spectral resolution attainable in microtesla fields enables NMR studies of pure liquids and solutions without the need for strong magnets. We have investigated a variety of heteronuclear systems in both the weak and strong J-coupling regimes. Six different nuclear species have been detected with the same experimental apparatus. NMR signals of thermally polarized protons were obtained in fields as low as 554 nT.

Bare U+ was found to react rather efficiently with SF6 (k/kADO ~ 0.4) to produce both UFn+ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) and SFn+ (n = 1, 2, 3). Whereas the UF+/SF6 reaction rate was essentially the same as that for U+/SF6, both UF2+ and UF3+ were inert; this is attributed to a repulsive interaction between UFn+ and SF6 when n exceeds 1. Reactions of UF+ (k/kADO ~ 0.2) and UF2+ (k/kADO ~ 0.05) with H2O resulted in both F → OH exchange and oxidation. In contrast, UF3+ reacted very efficiently with H2O (k/kADO ~ 1), exhibiting only F → OH exchange. The primary ion products of the UO+/SF6 reaction (k/kADO ~ 0.2) were SF3+ and UOF2+; those of the UOH+/SF6 reaction (k/kADO ~ 0.3) were SF3+ and UOF+. The reaction results are discussed in the context of a previously proposed reaction model, the distinctive chemistry of uranium, and thermodynamic considerations. The results illuminate the nature of uranium as well as general aspects of the interaction of bare and ligated transition-metal ions with SF6. Results for collision-induced dissociation (CID) of selected uranium molecular ions support the concept of CID being a quasithermal process under these experimental conditions, with rearrangements prior to fragmentation possible for certain ions.

Two surface species were observed, namely ethylidyne (CH3CPt3) with peaks at 2880 and 1339 cm-1 (lifetime 300 ± 50 ms), and a substantially shorter-lived intermediate with an intense band at 1200 cm-1 and weak absorptions in the 2875-2860 cm-1 region (lifetime around 100 ms). Comparison of the C2H4 + H2 results with those of experiments using D2 or C2D4 suggests that the 1200 cm-1 species is a surface ethyl intermediate (CH3CH2Pt). This is the first observation on the lifetime of surface ethyl species under reaction conditions. The rise of the final ethane product, monitored by the ν(CH) absorption at 2893 cm-1 was found to reach a maximum already in the first recorded time slice. This suggests that the observed CH3CH2Pt species is a surface-trapped form of the kinetically relevant, only weakly interacting C2H5 radical intermediate.

The current and X-ray intensity transients were measured simultaneously using a low-resistance drop cell that has a potential response time less than 50 μs. Three independent measurements of the Bi coverage transients were obtained, which are related to (1) the integrated charge, (2) the adsorbed Bi, irrespective of the adsorption site, and (3) the adsorbed Bi with a well-defined (2×2) structure. The zero-coverage ↔ commensurate (2×2)-Bi phase transition occurs on the millisecond time scale, 3 orders of magnitude more rapidly than the (2×2)-Bi ↔ high-coverage incommensurate (p×√3)-2Bi phase transition. Nucleation and growth kinetics was observed for both transitions involving Bi desorption. Langmuir adsorption kinetics was observed for both transitions involving Bi adsorption. Comparison of the total coverage with that measured by in-plane diffraction intensity suggests fast coarsening of islands for the transition for the zero-coverage ↔ commensurate (2×2)-Bi phase transition.

The GNB is oriented close to the (1¯ 1 1) slip plane and is composed primarily of dislocations from the three highest stressed slip systems: 1/2[1¯10](111), 1/2[101](1¯11), and 1/2[110](1¯11).

The boundary also contains a large number of dislocation nodes and reaction products (junctions) of the three primary sets including junctions of the first two sets resulting in a Lomer lock configuration 1/2[0 1 1](1 0 0). The dislocation configuration within the boundary appears to be a low energy structure within the confines of the system. The general boundary minimum energy solution to Frank’s formula does not agree well with the observed configuration. Solutions containing high densities of dislocations with Burgers vectors from the highest stressed slip systems give more reasonable agreement. An alternate analysis of Frank’s formula considering only slip activity on two fcc slip planes also gives reasonable results.

We have measured the temperature and fluence dependence of the mobility of the photoexcited charge carriers with picosecond resolution. The pentacene crystals were excited at 3.0 eV, which is above the bandgap of ∼2.2 eV, and the induced change in the far-infrared transmission was measured. At 30 K, the carrier mobility is μ≈0.4 cm[sup 2]/V s and decreases to μ≈0.2 cm[sup 2]/V s at room temperature. The transient terahertz signal reveals the presence of free carriers that are trapped on the time scale of a few picoseconds or less, possibly through the formation of excitons, small polarons, or trapping by impurities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The pressure-induced energy shift of the E[sub -] transition is nonlinear and much weaker as compared to the change of the direct band gap of Zn[sub 0.88]Mn[sub 0.12]Te. The weak pressure dependence of the E[sub -] transition can be fully understood based on the band anticrossing model in which the E[sub -] subband results from an interaction between the extended ZnMnTe conduction-band states and the localized O electronic states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Using designer diamond anvil technology, sensitive electrical four-probe measurements were performed on light rare-earth metal praseodymium to pressures of 179 GPa at room temperature. We document an average drop in resistivity of 53% at a pressure of 20 GPa in a series of high-pressure experiments. This large drop in resistivity provides the strongest experimental evidence yet for the view that the 20 GPa phase transition is indeed associated with f-electron delocalization. Our results show that the precise electrical measurements are ideally suited for f-delocalization studies, especially where structural data do not provide clear evidence of this transition. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The understanding of this effect may result in some improvements in microelectromechanical devices and measurement systems. We present the thermal dependence of these forces in the transitional regime for different gases. In this mode, the Knudsen effect can be significant and, therefore, become a problem in microscale devices. For this study, a silicon microcantilever, mounted close to a substrate, is used and changes in temperature are observed by measuring bending of the microcantilever. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02/09/ VL - 43 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 882 EP - 894 SN - 00201669 AB - Uranium atoms excited by laser ablation react with CO in excess neon to produce the novel CUO molecule, which forms distinct Ng complexes (Ng - Ar, Kr, Xe) when the heavier noble gases are added. The CUO(Ng) complexes are identified through CO isotopic and Ng substitution on the neon matrix infrared spectra and by comparison to DFT frequency calculations. The U-C and U-O stretching frequencies of CUO(Ng) complexes are slightly redshifted from frequencies for the ¹∑+ CUO ground state, which identifies singlet ground state CUO(Ng) complexes. In solid neon the CUO molecule is also a complex CUO(Ne)n, and the CUO(Ne)n-l(Ng) complexes are likewise specified. The next singlet CUO(Ne)x (Ng)2 complexes in excess neon follow in like manner. However, the higher CUO(Ne)x (Ng)n complex (n = 3, 4) stretching modes approach pure argon matrix CUO(Ar)n values and isotopic behavior, which are characterized as triplet ground state complexes by DFT frequency calculations. This work suggests that the singlet-triplet crossing occurs with 3 Ar, 3 Kr, or 4 Xe and a balance of Ne atoms coordinated to CUO in the neon matrix host.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02/09/ VL - 43 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 958 EP - 963 SN - 00201669 AB - The reaction of NpO2 with SeO2 in the presence of CsCI at 180 °C results in the formation of Np(NpO2)2 (SeO3)3 (1). The structure of 1 consists of three crystallographically unique Np centers with three different coordination environments in two different oxidation states. Np(1) is found in a neptunyl(V), O=Np=O+, unit that is further ligated in the equatorial plane by three chelating SeO32−- anions to create a hexagonal bipyramidal NpO8 unit. A second neptunyl(V) cation also occurs for Np(2); it is bound by four bridging selenite anions and by the oxo atom from the Np(1) neptunyl cation to form a pentagonal bipyramidal, NpO7, unit. The third neptunium center, Np(3), which contains Np(IV), is found in a distorted NpO8 dodecahedron. Np(3) is bound by five bridging selenite anions and by three neptunyl units via cation-cation interactions. The NpO7 pentagonal bipyramids and NpO8 hexagonal bipyramids share both corners and edges. Both of these polyhedra share corners via cation-cation interactions with the NpO8 dodecahedra creating a three-dimensional structure with small channels that house the stereochemically active lone pair of electrons on the selenite anions. Magnetic susceptibility data follow Curie­Weiss behavior over the entire temperature range measured (5 ≤ T ≤ 320 K). The effective moment, μeff = 2.28 μB, which represents an average over the three crystallographically inequivalent Np atoms, is within the expected range of values. There is no evidence of long-range ordering of the Np moments at temperatures down to 5 K, consistent with the negligible Weiss constant determined from fitting the susceptibility data. Crystallographic data: 1, orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 10.6216(5), b = 11.9695(6), and c = 17.8084(8) Å, and Z = 8 (T = 193 K).

An X-ray crystal structure reveals an ionic structure with well-separated [Lul2(HOiPr)4] cations and [I] anions. Dissolution of 1 in pyridine generates the unusual alkoxide species [Lul(OiPr)(py)5][I] (2) with the elimination of HI. An X-ray crystal structure of 2 confirmed the ionic nature of the compound, with the cationic portion of the complex exhibiting a seven-coordinated lutetium center with trans-disposed iodo and alkoxide ligands and five pyridine molecules equally displaced within the equatorial plane. Exposure of 2 to iodotrimethylsilane yields the expected triiodide species [Lul2(py)5][I] (3), which may also be prepared by refluxing commercially available Lul3 in THF, followed by crystallization from a THF/pyridine mixture. The solid-state structure of 3 is similar to that of 2, with the alkoxide ligand having been replaced by an iodide. The formation of ionic structures 1–3 as opposed to the higher-coordinated neutral species may be traced to the small lutetium center and the presence of relatively strong Lewis bases within the coordination sphere of the metal.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02/09/ VL - 43 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1082 EP - 1089 SN - 00201669 AB - CsLnMnSe3 (Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Y) and AYbZnQ3 (A = Rb, Cs; Q = S, Se, Te) have been synthesized from solid-state reactions at temperatures in excess 1173 K. These isostructural materials crystallize in the layered KZrCuS3 structure type in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm. The structure is composed of LnQ6 octahedra and MQ4 tetrahedra that share edges to form 2∞[LnMQ3] layers. These layers stack perpendicular to [010] and are separated by layers of face- and edge-sharing AQ8 bicapped trigonal prisms. There are no Q—Q bonds in the structure of the ALnMQ3 compounds so the formal oxidation states of A/Ln/M/Q are 1+/3+/2+/2−. The CsLnMnSe3 materials, with the exception of CsYbMnSe3, are Curie­Weiss paramagnets between 5 and 300 K. The magnetic susceptibility data for CsYbZnS3, RbYbZnSe3, and CsYbMSe3 (U = Mn, Zn) show a weak cusp at approximately 10 K and pronounced differences between field-cooled and zero-field-cooled data. However, CsYbZnSe3 is not an antiferromagnet because a neutron diffraction study indicates that CsYbZnSe3 shows neither long-range magnetic ordering nor a phase change between 4 and 295 K. Nor is the compound a spin glass because the transition at 10 K does not depend on ac frequency. The optical band gaps of the (010) and (001) crystal faces for CsYbMnSe3 are 1.60 and 1.59 eV, respectively; the optical band of the (010) crystal faces for CsYbZnS3 and RbYbZnSe3 are 2.61 and 2.07 eV, respectively.

The γ-ray spectra were measured in coincidence with A=160 evaporation residues (4n channel at Ebeam = 163 MeV and 187 MeV. A statistical model analysis, incorporating a two-component GDR strength function, shows increase in the GDR width as the average spin of the compound nucleus increases from 26 h̵, (at 163 MeV to 54 h̵ (at 187 MeV). This is consistent with the predictions of a thermal shape fluctuation model.

We describe recent experimental evidence that points to a relation between pairing and phase transitions (or transformations) in finite nuclear systems. A simple pairing interaction model is used in order to study and classify an eventual pairing phase transition in finite fermionic systems such as nuclei. We show that systems with as few as ∼ 10 – 16 fermions can exhibit clear features reminiscent of a phase transition.

The full vibrational spectrum of the C48N12 cluster is calculated within the harmonic approximation at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. The results show that fcc is energetically preferred and a more stable crystal form than body-centered-cubic (bcc). C48N12 clusters are found to condense by a weak (0.29 eV) van der Waals force. The band gap of fcc C48N12 is calculated to be 1.3 eV at the GGA-PW91 level, whereas the HOMO-LUMO gap is calculated to be 2.74 eV using B3LYP/6-31G*.

The other two zero-stress structures, bcc and fcc, correspond to inflection points along this path. These calculations agree with experimental evidence that polonium is the only known element to assume the simple cubic structure at room temperature. We have found an LDA lattice constant of 3.28 Å, and we have obtained two of the elastic constants: C11=113 GPa and C12=28 GPa.

Direct sonolysis of commercial micron-sized MoS2 in hexadecane did not result in nano-sizing. The TEM images showed that the synthesized MoS2 were aggregates of ∼20 nm mean particle diameter, CoS was ∼50 nm and the mixed-metal CoS-MoS2 could be viewed as a composite in which smaller MoS2 particles resided on the larger crystallites of CoS. The broad XRD peaks were consistent with nano-structured MoS2 and the sharp peaks were consistent with a more crystalline CoS-MoS2 species. The sharp peaks did not fit any single CoS pattern suggesting multiple phases. The XRD data showed that sonolysis did not alter the morphology of the micron-sized commercial MoS2 sample. In the HDS comparative activity study of dibenzothiophene, the synthesized nano-phase MoS2 exhibited more than an order of magnitude higher activity than its commercial micron-sized counterpart and the addition of Co further enhanced the activity. The HDS activity mirrored the temperature programmed reduction data. Interestingly, the nano-phase materials were less active for hydrogenation of 1-octene during the HDS study.

JO - Molecular Physics JF - Molecular Physics Y1 - 2004/02/10/ VL - 102 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 243 EP - 251 SN - 00268976 AB - Water adsorption isotherms are calculated by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations for the SPC/E water model in carbon nanopores at 298 K. The pores are of slit or cylindrical morphology. Carbon-slit pores are of widths 0.8, 1.0 and 1.6 nm. The simulated single-walled carbon nanotubes are of 1.4 and 2.7 nm diameter ((10:10) and (20:20) respectively). In all cases considered, the adsorption isotherms are characterized by negligible adsorption at low pressures, pore filling by a capillary-condensation-like mechanism and adsorption-desorption hysteresis loops. For both pore morphologies considered, the relative pressures at which pore filling occurs, and the width of the adsorption-desorption hysteresis loop decrease with decreasing pore size. Adsorption isotherms simulated for water in carbon nanotubes show pore filling at lower relative pressures and narrower adsorption-desorption hysteresis loops when compared to adsorption isotherms simulated in carbon-slit pores of similar sizes. By using representative simulation snapshots, the mechanisms of pore filling and pore emptying are discussed. Pore filling happens by growth of hydrogen-bonded clusters of adsorbed water molecules, without the formation of monolayers as observed in the adsorption of simple fluids. Pore emptying occurs by the formation of bubbles, often in contact with the hydrophobic surface, followed by the coalescence and growth of these bubbles.

Advances in quantum chemical methods and codes, together with impressive improvements in computer speed, have contributed significantly towards the achievement of this objective. A review of current quantum chemical theories and models of catalytically active sites is presented with the aim of defining what is possible today and what needs to be done. Particular attention is given to identifying the trade-offs between achieving accurate energies of adsorbed and transition states and computational cost. Methods available for finding reaction pathways and calculating rate coefficients are also reviewed and discussed.

MMOMs share physical characteristics similar to those of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) that have been under intense investigation as storage materials. Both are lightweight and composed of open channels based on aromatic carbon. In addition, MMOMs possess several advantageous features over SWNTs that are particularly promising for improving hydrogen adsorption.

T1 - Novel silicon stripixel detector: concept, simulation, design, and fabrication JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2004/02/11/ VL - 518 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 738 SN - 01689002 AB - A novel detector concept has been developed in this work that has the necessary properties to provide two-dimensional (2-D) position sensitivity with a moderate number of readout electronic channels and single-sided detector fabrication process. The concept is based on interleaved pixel electrodes arranged in a projective X–Y readout, which makes possible position encoding with minimum number of channels. In further discussions, we refer to this concept as “stripixel” detector, as it combines the 2-D position resolution of a pixel electrode geometry with the simplicity of the projective readout of a double-sided strip detector. For DC coupled detectors with large pitches (>20 μm), individual pixels are divided into X- and Y-cell that can be interleaved by many different schemes that ensure the charge sharing between them. This type of stripixel detectors is called interleaved stripixel detectors. When the detector pitch goes down (<20 μm), the X and Y-pixel may not have to be interleaved, and they can be connected in an alternating way to X–Y strip readout. This type of stripixel detectors is called alternating stripixel detectors (ASD). For ASD, a position resolution better than 1 μm in two dimensions can be achieved by determining the centroid of the charge collected on pixel electrodes with a granularity in the range of 5–6 μm. For AC coupled detectors, no interleaving scheme may be needed, and there may be no limit on the pitch size, i.e. it may go from pitches in the order of microns, to hundreds of microns or even mm''s. This electrode granularity does not pose difficult demands on the lithography and the fabrication technology. This novel detector concept can be applied to any semiconductor detectors/sensors, such as Si, Ge, GaAs, SiC, diamond, etc. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A is the property of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This distribution is frequently utilized to characterize inherently positive, continuous random variables that are selected to represent many physical quantities in applied nuclear science and technology. The basic formalism is outlined herein and a conjured numerical example is provided for illustration. It is demonstrated that when the uncertainty reflected in a lognormal probability distribution is large, the use of a confidence interval provides much more useful information about the variable used to represent a particular physical quantity than can be had by adhering to the notion that the mean value and standard deviation of the distribution ought to be interpreted as best value and corresponding error, respectively. Furthermore, it is shown that if the uncertainty is very large a disturbing anomaly can arise when one insists on interpreting the mean value and standard deviation as the best value and corresponding error, respectively. Reliance on using the mode and median as alternative parameters to represent the best available knowledge of a variable with large uncertainties is also shown to entail limitations. Finally, a realistic physical example involving the decay of radioactivity over a time period that spans many half-lives is presented and analyzed to further illustrate the concepts discussed in this communication.

The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a square of 5 towers×5 towers, each containing 10 layers of four crystals. The design of the detector is optimized for ultralow-background searches: for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te (33.8% abundance), cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays. A preliminary experiment involving 20 crystals 3×3×6 cm3 of 340 g has been completed, and a single CUORE tower is being constructed as a smaller-scale experiment called CUORICINO. The expected performance and sensitivity, based on Monte Carlo simulations and extrapolations of present results, are reported.

These alloys should be neither oxidized nor attacked by carbonaceous gases. Fourteen high-temperature alloys were tested in fuel gases. These alloys were exposed to a simulated SOFC environment. Alloys were attacked by metal dusting in carbonaceous gases of high carbon activity. Pits formed on the alloy surface and grew to large holes through the alloy plate, with subsequent disintegration into a powdery mixture composed of carbon, fine particles of metal, and carbide. The oxide scales on the alloy surface were found to prevent metal dusting corrosion. If the major phase in the oxide scale was chromic oxide, the alloys had good resistance to metal dusting corrosion. However, the alloys were easily attacked if the major phase was spinel. High chromium content in the alloy was helpful to resist metal dusting. The content of spinel in the oxide scales of Ni-base alloys was much less than that in Fe-base alloys. Therefore, the metal dusting rate of Ni-base alloys was lower than that of Fe-base alloys. Alloys were more readily attacked by metal dusting in the high-pressure environment. High humidity retarded metal dusting.

Under a 100% dry hydrogen condition at 1123 K, the hydrogen permeation rates of dense membranes (1.72 mm thick) are ≈3.19×10−9 mol/cm2 s for SrCe0.95Eu0.05O3−δ and 2.33×10−9 mol/cm2 s for SrCe0.95Sm0.05O3−δ. Under wet hydrogen conditions at 1123 K, the hydrogen permeation rates are ≈2.89×10−9 and 1.21×10−9 mol/cm2 s, respectively, for the same materials. The dopant dependence of hydrogen permeability is explained in terms of the ionization potential of the dopant. Electronic conductivity was calculated from hydrogen permeation fluxes; activation energies for electron conduction under both dry and wet conditions were also calculated. The PH2O dependence of electronic conductivity and hydrogen permeability is discussed.

The structural changes of this material were studied using a synchrotron-based in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique during charge/discharge cycles. The results of in situ X-ray diffraction indicated that the layer structure and the hexagonal symmetry of this material were preserved through the phase transition between H1 and H2 during the charge/discharge cycling. When cycled in the voltage range of 2.0–4.5 V, the changes in lattice parameters a and c are smaller than those for the LiNiO2 layered material. When charged to a high voltage at 5.1 V, the hexagonal phase H3, which is commonly formed at voltages higher than 4.3 V in LiNiO2 with a very short c-axis, is not observed in the Li[Li0.3Cr0.1Mn0.6]O2 cathode, indicating a possible high thermal stability in the fully charged state. Cyclic voltammograms show a single pair of oxidation and reduction peaks, consistent with a reversible phase transition between H1 and H2 observed from the in situ X-ray diffraction data.

Most 3D contact algorithms employed today use node-on-segment approaches for contacting dissimilar meshes. Two pass node-on-segment contact approaches have the well known deficiency of locking due to over-constraint. In this work, we develop and demonstrate a segment-to-segment contact approach based on the mortar method. By eliminating the over-constraint, this method appears to be much more robust than the node-on-segment approach. Furthermore, node-on-segment approaches suffer when individual nodes slide out of contact at contact surface boundaries or when contacting nodes slide from facet to facet. This causes jumps in the contact forces due to the discrete nature of the constraint enforcement and difficulties in convergence for implicit solution techniques. These jumps in forces are avoided in the segment-to-segment approach, since penetration is measured by the occluded weighted volume which varies smoothly with perturbations.Until now, all mortar schemes have been developed for small deformation/sliding and have mainly been applied on flat surfaces. Here we will present the integration scheme and the linearization approach used for handling the contact surface integrals in the event of large sliding. The schemes are designed to conserve linear momentum and can be applied to arbitrarily curved 3D surfaces. Although expensive, our numerical examples demonstrate that the approach is far more robust than even smoothed node-on-segment contact techniques. That is, problems previously not solvable with node-on-segment can now be solved with our segment-to-segment contact.

A-I, and toxic-shock syndrome toxin TSST-1 act as superantigens to cause overstimulation of the host immune system, leading to the onset of various diseases including food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome. SAgs bind as intact proteins to the DRα1 domain of the MHC class II receptor and the TcRVβ domain from the T cell receptor and cause excessive release of cytokines such as IL-2, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, and hyperproliferation of T cells. In addition, different SAgs bind and activate different TcRVβ isoforms during pathogenesis of human immune cells. These two properties of SAgs prompted us to design several chimeric DRα1-linker-TcRVβ proteins using different TcRVβ isoforms to create chimeras that would specifically inhibit the pathogenesis of SAgs against which they were designed. In this study, we compare the design, interaction, and inhibitory properties of three different DRα1-linker-TcRVβ chimeras targeted against three different SAgs, SEB, SEC3, and TSST-1. The inhibitory properties of the chimeras were tested by monitoring IL-2 release and T cell proliferation using a primary human cell model. We demonstrate that the three chimeras specifically inhibit the pathogenesis of their target superantigen. We performed molecular modeling to analyze the structural basis of the type specificity exhibited by different chimeras designed against their target SAgs, examine the role of the linker in determining binding and specificity, and suggest site-specific mutations in the chimera to enhance binding affinity. The fact that our strategy works equally well for SEB and TSST-1, two widely different phylogenic variants, suggests that the DRα1-linkerTcRVβ chimeras may be developed as a general therapy against a broad spectrum of superantigens released during Staphylococcal infection.

Compared with wild-type Mn-SOD, the site-specific mutants H30N, Y166F, and the corresponding double mutant showed 10-fold decreases in steady-state constants for catalysis measured by pulse radiolysis. The observation of no additional effect upon the second mutation is an example of cooperatively interacting residues. A similar effect was observed in the thermal stability of these enzymes; the double mutant did not reduce the major unfolding transition to an extent greater than either single mutant. The crystal structures of these site-specific mutants each have unique conformational changes, but each has lost the hydrogen bond across the dimer interface, which results in a decrease in catalysis. These same mutations caused an enhancement of the dissociation of the product-inhibited complex. That is, His30 and Tyr166 in wild-type Mn-SOD act to prolong the lifetime of the inhibited complex. This would have a selective advantage in blocking a cellular overproduction of toxic H2O2.

It preferentially interacts with chromosomal breaks and protects DNA ends from nuclease attack. Here we show evidence that cells defective in Ku80 exhibit a significantly slow S phase progression following DNA damage. IR-induced retardation in S phase progression in Ku80-/- cells was not due to the lack of DNA-PK kinase activity because both wild-type cells and DNA-PKcs-deficient cells showed no such symptom. Instead, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) dissociated from chromosomes following IR in Ku80-deficient cells but not in wild-type or DNA-PKcsdeficient cells. Treatment of HeLa cells with IR induced colocalization of the Ku complex with PCNA on chromosomes. Together, these results suggest that binding of the Ku complex at chromosomal breaks may be necessary to maintain the sliding clamps (PCNA) on chromatin, which would allow cells to resume DNA replication without a major delay following IR.

SN - 16182642 AB - The spirolides are a family of marine biotoxins derived from the dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii, recently isolated from contaminated shellfish and characterized. A crude phytoplankton extract has been extensively studied for mass spectrometric determination and characterization of several known spirolides and previously unreported compounds. The complex sample was initially analyzed by full-scan mass spectrometry in an ion-trap instrument, enabling identification of several components. Subsequent analysis by selected-ion monitoring in a triple-quadrupole instrument resulted in the confirmation of the identities of the compounds detected in the ion trap. Purification of the crude extract was performed using an automated mass-based fractionation system, yielding several fractions with different relative contributions of the spirolide components. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) in the triple-quadrupole instrument produced significant fragment ions for all identified species. Selective enrichment of some minor compounds in certain fractions enabled excellent CID spectra to be generated; this had previously been impossible, because of interferences from the major toxins present. Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry was then performed for accurate determination of the masses of MH+ ions of all the species present in the sample. Additionally, infrared multiphoton dissociation in the FTICR instrument generated elemental formulae for product ions, including those formed in the previous collisional activation experiments. Collection of these results and the fragmentation scheme proposed for the main component of the extract, 13-desmethyl spirolide C, from part I of this study, enabled elucidation of the structures of some uncharacterized spirolides and some biogenetically related compounds present at previously unreported masses.

SN - 16182642 AB - Efforts to develop a liquid chromatography (LC)/mass spectrometry (MS) technology for ultra-sensitive proteomics studies (i.e., nanoscale proteomics) are described. The approach combines high-efficiency nanoscale LC (separation peak capacity of ≈103; 15-μm-i.d. packed capillaries with flow rates of 20 nL min-1, the optimal separation linear velocity) with advanced MS, including high-sensitivity and high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance MS, to perform both single-stage MS and tandem MS (MS/MS) proteomic analyses. The technology enables broad protein identification from nanogram-size proteomics samples and allows the characterization of more abundant proteins from sub-picogram-size samples. Protein identification in such studies using MS is demonstrated from <75 zeptomole of a protein. The average proteome measurement throughput is ~50 proteins h-1 using MS/MS during separations, presently requiring approximately 3 h sample-1. Greater throughput (~300 proteins h-1) and improved detection limits providing more comprehensive proteome coverage can be obtained by using the “accurate mass and time” tag approach developed in our laboratory. This approach provides a dynamic range of at least 106 for protein relative abundances and an improved basis for quantitation. These capabilities lay the foundation for studies from single or limited numbers of cells.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02/15/ VL - 76 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 977 EP - 984 SN - 00032700 AB - One of the fundamental results of the theory of nonlinear chromatography is that a propagation velocity is associated with each concentration, This velocity is related to the slope of the isotherm at the corresponding concentration. It follows that if a continuous concentration gradient is injected into a column, the gradient profile will not propagate in a mere translation but will progressively change shape. In the most common case of a convex upward isotherm (e.g., Langmuir), a linear gradient will become curved upward, the high concentrations migrating faster than the low ones. However, high concentrations cannot pass low ones, so the concentrations pile up, a concentration shock forms, and its height increases. In practice, axial dispersion and the mass-transfer resistances combine and prevent the formation of a true shock. A shock layer, a region where the concentration gradient is very steep, is formed. This shock layer migrates at the same velocity as the ideal shock would. Many characteristics of concentration shocks and shock layers have been determined previously, but not the time that it takes for a continuous gradient to turn into a shock layer, the circumstances of the birth of the shock layer, and of its growth. Yet, this is important to know to understand certain aspects of gradient elution. We have derived simple equations relating the circumstances of the birth of shocks to the phase equilibrium isotherm and to the column characteristics. The results of experimental measurements made with a high-efficiency analytical column are in excellent agreement with these theoretical predictions.

Using conservative SE-QUEST peptide identification criteria (i.e., without considering chymotryptic or elastic peptides) and peptide LC normalized elution time constraints, the separation quality enabled the identification of proteins over a dynamic range of greater than 8 orders of magnitude in relative abundance using ion trap MS/MS instrumentation.

Our new PLD–CCS system is based on a precisely controlled synchronization between the laser firing, target exchange, and substrate translation/rotation, and offers more flexibility and control than earlier PLD-based approaches. Most importantly, the deposition energetics and the film thickness are kept constant across the entire composition range, and the resulting samples are sufficiently large to allow characterization by conventional techniques. We fabricated binary alloy composition-spread films composed of SrRuO3 and CaRuO3. Alternating ablation from two different ceramic targets leads to in situ alloy formation, and the value of x in SrxCax−1RuO3 can be changed linearly from 0 to 1 (or over any arbitrarily smaller range) along one direction of the substrate.

Measurements cover the spectral range of 200 nm to 25 μm. For the UV-Vis–NIR region, a multichannel fiber optically coupled CCD array-based spectrometer is used for simultaneous reflection and transmission mapping. For the IR, a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer is used for sequential reflection and transmission maps. Depending upon the type of library being analyzed, the measured spectra can, with appropriate modeling, be analyzed for the optical band gap, film thickness, index of refraction, plasma frequency, conductivity, carrier scattering time and color, in addition to simple reflectance and transmittance. We discuss these techniques using examples taken from our work on both transparent conducting oxides and metal nitrides for optical coatings.

Based on the knowledge gained from binary oxide formation, linear combinatorial synthesis is used to study the ternary oxide (Cd–Sn–O) compound. Compositional, structural, electrical, and optical properties of the films are found to vary along the reactant gas flow direction. The crystal structure indicates that the CdO-like films are formed near the location of gas injection and SnO2-like films near the end of the deposition zone. As composition and structure change, the carrier concentration varies around 1020 cm−3, and the mobility increases from less than 1 to ∼60 cm2 V−1 s−1. The optical bandgap of the films also increases from ∼2.75 to 3.65 eV as composition moves from CdO-like films to SnO2-like films.

Sixteen libraries were grown with a range of metallic composition gradients and different nitrogen contents. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron microprobe analysis (EPMA) show that these libraries encompass a large portion of the ternary phase space. Optical transmission and reflection measurements from near ultra-violet to infra-red wavelengths suggest that both the color and infra-red reflectivity can be optimized for this ternary system.

We have studied the effect of alcohols on aqueous hen-egg lysozyme self-interactions by measuring the osmotic second virial coefficient (B22) using static light scattering. Addition of alcohols increases B22, indicating stronger protein–protein repulsion or weaker attraction. For the monohydric alcohols used in this study (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, n-butanol, iso-butanol and trifluoroethanol), B22 for lysozyme reaches a common plateau at approximately 5% (v/v) alcohol, while glycerol increases B22 more than monohydric alcohols. For a 0.05 M NaCl hen-egg lysozyme solution at pH 7, B22 increases from 2.4×10−4 to 4.7×10−4 ml mol/g2 upon addition of monohydric alcohols and to 5.8×10−4 ml mol/g2 upon addition of glycerol. We describe the alcohol effect using a simple model that supplements the DLVO theory with an additional alcohol-dependent term representing orientation-averaged hydrophobic interactions. In this model, the increased lysozyme repulsive forces in the presence of monohydric alcohols are interpreted in terms of adsorption of alcohol molecules on hydrophobic sites on the protein surface. This adsorption reduces attractive hydrophobic protein–protein interactions. A thicker lysozyme hydration layer in aqueous glycerol solution can explain the glycerol-increased lysozyme–lysozyme repulsion.

Our study sites are distributed along a 2 km ridgeline transect that spans 2090 to 2750 m in altitude, and encompasses marked contrasts in both vegetative cover and snow depth, but is underlain by a single, roughly uniform, granodiorite bedrock. Cosmogenic nuclides in colluvial soils reveal that denudation rates vary by less than a factor of 1.4 (104–144 t/km2/yr) along this transect. Bulk elemental analyses indicate that, relative to the parent rock, soils are less intensively weathered with increasing altitude, and show little evidence of weathering-related mass losses near the top of the ridge. Chemical weathering rates decrease rapidly with increasing altitude, both in absolute terms (from 24 to 0 t/km2/yr) and as a fraction of total denudation rates (from 20 to 0%). Thus these results indicate an increasing dominance of physical erosion with altitude. The observed decrease in chemical weathering rates is greater than one would predict from the decrease in mean annual temperature using simple weathering kinetics, suggesting that weathering rates along our transect may also be affected by the progressive decline in vegetative cover and increase in snow depth with increasing altitude. These results, considered together with weathering rate measurements for a wide range of climates in the Sierra Nevada, USA, suggest that chemical weathering rates may be particularly sensitive to differences in climate at higher-altitude sites. Consistent with this hypothesis, chemical weathering rates fall virtually to zero at the highest sites on our transect, suggesting that sparsely vegetated, high-altitude crystalline terrain may often be characterized by extremely slow silicate weathering rates.

They were examined using electron or X-ray microprobe methods, as intact specimens or sectioned perpendicular to their basal planes. Cs+ was observed to Preferentially sorb to mica edges, steps on mica surfaces, or fractured regions. The localization of Cs conformed to hypothesized strong binding to frayed edge sites in preference to sites on basal planes. In section, Cs+ was found to penetrate the mica interior, forming discrete zones of concentration, particularly in muscovite. In biotite, Cs was more abundant, permeating the clasts, but also forming discrete zones of higher concentration. Concentrated Cs on both clast edges and within clast interiors corresponded to microscopic but relatively extensive zones where K was depleted. The localization of sorbed Cs in areas where K was depleted suggested that weathering reactions had caused the formation of frayed edge sites within the micas. Cs+ accessed crystal interiors by diffusion along channels following crystal defects, cracks, or partings where pore fluids had previously migrated to form the interior alteration zones. On the nanometer scale, areas with localized Cs were disrupted, confirming that frayed edge sites were developed in clast interiors.

The synchrotron measurements were carried out on the polycrystalline sample loaded in a diamond anvil cell up to a pressure of 27 GPa. The room temperature bulk modulus obtained from the ultrasonic measurements is K[sub 0]=216.5±1.1 GPa and the pressure derivative is K[sub 0][sup ′]=4.19±0.09. The shear modulus obtained is G[sub 0]=196.7±0.7 GPa with its pressure derivative G[sub 0][sup ′]=0.95±0.03. Using K[sub 0][sup ′] obtained from the ultrasonic measurements in the Birch–Murnaghan equation to fit the synchrotron x-ray data, we obtain a bulk modulus of K[sub 0]=218.4±4.9 GPa for the composite. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Samples were heat treated in dry N[sub 2] for 30 min at temperatures between 200 and 1000 °C. Below 850 °C, the data are consistent with release of hydrogen from a Mg complex and corroborate the initial assignment of the EPR signal to the p-type acceptor. However, the Mg-related EPR signal is permanently quenched for anneals above 850 °C suggesting that additional point defects are created during high temperature treatment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

By studying variations in the electroreflectance with applied field, spectral features associated with the AlGaN barrier, the two-dimensional electron gas at the interface, and bulk GaN were identified. Barrier-layer composition and electric field were determined from the AlGaN Franz–Keldysh oscillations. For a high mobility heterostructure grown on SiC, measured AlGaN polarization electric field and two-dimensional electron gas density approached values predicted by a standard bandstructure model. The two-dimensional electron gas produced a broad, field-tunable first derivative electroreflectance feature. With a dielectric function calculation, we describe the line shape and relative amplitude of the two-dimensional electron gas electroreflectance feature for a wide range of electron density and applied field values. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Chemical processes on ceria surfaces serve as gateways in controlling such oxygen transfer. In this work, we have prepared cerium oxide films on which Rh is vapor-deposited and measured the Ce oxidation state following sequential exposure to oxygen and hydrogen. The difference between the fraction of Ce4+ state of a ceria film resulting from room temperature O2 exposure and the fraction following sequential H2 exposure at 400 K was measured for various conditions. Our results show that to achieve an observable reduction by H2 exposure, O2 preexposure of the Rh-deposited ceria surface is needed. The H2 reduction yield increases as the dose of Rh to CeO2 surface increases. Although this reduction process is observed in as-grown Rh-deposited ceria films, ion sputtering of Rh-dosed ceria surfaces enhances the yield of H2 reduction. The need of both Rh dose and oxygen preexposure for reduction of ceria by hydrogen suggests that oxygen removal from ceria films is catalyzed by Rh&z.sbnd;O. A mechanism is proposed in which Rh&z.sbnd;O in intimate contact with ceria transfers hydrogen to ceria lattice oxygen, followed by oxygen removal from the ceria surface through water desorption.

Chem. Phys. 119, 1329 (2003)]. Since the QI rate constant is determined solely by properties of the (quantum) Boltzmann operator (specifically, by the zero time properties of the flux–flux and delta–delta correlation functions), it can be evaluated by well-established techniques of imaginary time path integrals even for quite complex chemical reactions. Here we present a series of statistical estimators for relevant quantities which can be evaluated straightforwardly with any nonlinear reaction coordinates and general Hamiltonians in Cartesian space. To facilitate the search for the optimal dividing surfaces required by the QI approximation, we introduce a two-dimensional quantum free energy surface associated with the delta–delta correlation function and describe how an adaptive umbrella sampling can be used effectively to construct such a free energy surface. The overall computational procedure is illustrated by the application to a hydrogen exchange reaction in gas phase, which shows excellent agreement of the QI rates with those obtained from quantum scattering calculations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Chem. Phys. 119, 1329 (2003)], which is modeled after the earlier semiclassical instanton approach, is applied to the hydrogen abstraction reaction from methane by a hydrogen atom, H+CH[sub 4]→H[sub 2]+CH[sub 3], using a modified and recalibrated version of the Jordan–Gilbert potential surface. The quantum instanton rate is evaluated using path integral Monte Carlo approaches based on the recently proposed implementation schemes [Yamamoto and Miller, J. Chem. Phys. 120, 3086 (2004)]. The calculations were carried out using the Cartesian coordinates of all the atoms (thus involving 18 degrees of freedom), thereby taking explicit account of rotational effects of the whole system and also allowing the equivalent treatment of the four methane hydrogens. To achieve such a treatment, we present extended forms of the path integral estimators for relevant quantities that may be used for general N-atom systems with any generalized reaction coordinates. The quantum instanton rates thus obtained for the temperature range T=200–2000 K show good agreement with available experimental data, which gives support to the accuracy of the underlying potential surface used. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/02/15/ VL - 120 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3297 EP - 3310 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Coupled-cluster methods including through and up to the connected single, double, triple, and quadruple substitutions have been derived and implemented automatically for sequential and parallel executions by an algebraic and symbolic manipulation program TCE (TENSOR CONTRACTION ENGINE) for use in conjunction with a one-component third-order Douglas–Kroll approximation for relativistic corrections. A combination of the converging electron-correlation methods, the accurate relativistic reference wave functions, and the use of systematic basis sets tailored to the relativistic approximation has been shown to predict the experimental singlet–triplet separations within 0.02 eV (0.5 kcal/mol) for five triatomic hydrides (CH[sub 2], NH[sub 2][sup +], SiH[sub 2], PH[sub 2][sup +], and AsH[sub 2][sup +]), the experimental bond lengths (r[sub e] or r[sub 0]) within 0.002 Å, rotational constants (B[sub e] or B[sub 0]) within 0.02 cm[sup -1], vibration–rotation constants (α[sub e]) within 0.01 cm[sup -1], centrifugal distortion constants (D[sub e]) within 2%, harmonic vibration frequencies (ω[sub e]) within 8 cm[sup -1] (0.4%), anharmonic vibrational constants (xω[sub e]) within 2 cm[sup -1], and dissociation energies (D[sub 0][sup 0]) within 0.02 eV (0.4 kcal/mol) for twenty diatomic hydrides (BH, CH, NH, OH, FH, AlH, SiH, PH, SH, ClH, GaH, GeH, AsH, SeH, BrH, InH, SnH, SbH, TeH, and IH) containing main-group elements across the second through fifth rows of the periodic table. In these calculations, spin–orbit effects on dissociation energies, which were assumed to be additive, were estimated from the measured spin–orbit coupling constants of atoms and diatomic molecules, and an electronic energy in the complete-basis-set, complete-electron-correlation limit has been extrapolated in two ways to verify the robustness of the results: One assuming Gaussian-exponential dependence of total energies on double through quadruple ζ basis sets and the other assuming n[sup -3] dependence of correlation energies on double through quintuple ζ basis sets. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

After photoexcitation of the second van Hove singularity of a specific tube structure, the relaxation of electrons and holes to the fundamental band edge occurs to within 100 fs. The fluorescence decay from this band is dependent on the excitation density and can be rationalized by exciton annihilation theory. In contrast to fluorescence, the transient absorption has a distinctly different time and intensity dependence for different tube structures, suggesting a branching to emissive and trap states following photoexcitation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Such simulations are complicated by the multitude of defect types and by the asymmetry of the crystal. The present work combined a kinetic Monte Carlo technique with the Kossel crystal (1 0 0) simple cubic concept and the Blasius boundary layer model to simulate the simultaneous growth and dissolution of the (1 0 1¯ 4) calcite cleavage surface in flowing water. The activation energies of the back reaction (growth) were determined from those of the forward reaction (dissolution) by obtaining agreement with cleavage-step morphologies and step dissolution velocities over a range of flow rates previously measured using an atomic force microscope. The kinetics were dominated by diffusion events on the solid/fluid interface and in the fluid, as expected. The relative magnitudes of the desorption and adsorption activation energies were consistent with experimental data, entropic arguments, and crystal roughening theories. Quantitative agreement with measured step velocities was best when the boundary layer parameters were given physically reasonable values, indicating that the model is self-consistent.

Irradiations were conducted with 5 MeV Ni-ions at 500 °C to doses up to 50 dpa or with 3.2 MeV protons at 400 °C to a dose of 2.5 dpa, and previous studies demonstrated that these irradiations are capable of producing similar irradiated microstructure and microchemistry relevant to LWR cores. Microstructures of 316SS, 316SS + 0.3 at.% Pt and 316SS + 0.3 at.% Hf were characterized using transmission electron microscopy. The addition of Hf showed a strong effect in suppressing radiation-induced microstructure evolution; no voids were observed at doses up to 50 dpa for Ni-ion irradiation and 2.5 dpa for proton irradiation. The mean diameter of the Frank loops in the Hf-doped samples is about 40% smaller than loops in 316SS. The microstructural examinations from both types of particle irradiation revealed that for 0.3 at.% Pt addition there is no beneficial effect on irradiated microstructure. The mechanisms for the role of oversize solute additions on the microstructure evolution are discussed.

The model proposes that gas bubble nucleation occurs within shear bands initiated around free volume regions. Small gas–atom clusters that form within these regions are susceptible to dissolution by forces generated by the plastic flow of material around the cluster. The bubble coarsening process depends on the materials viscosity and on irradiation-induced re-solution. The bubble distribution eventually reaches a point where larger bubbles from the tail of the evolving lognormal size distribution begin to contact the more numerous nanometer-sized bubbles from the peak region. This condition defines the knee in the swelling curve. The fission density at which the knee occurs is a function of fission rate. Calculations for the behavior of the knee, swelling, and the fraction of gas in bubbles in irradiated U3Si2 intermetallic compounds are compared to measured quantities.

This study was motivated by the recent discovery that U3Si2 undergoes a crystalline to amorphous transformation during irradiation. Such information renders a previously developed fuel swelling model based on the crystalline state of U3Si2 invalid. This is of particular significance since low enriched U3Si2 dispersion fuels are widely used in research reactors. While such a finding does not alter the well established, stable and benign behaviour of U3Si2 during irradiation, it does indicate that a different interpretation of that behaviour is required.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/02/15/ VL - 108 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2173 EP - 2180 SN - 15206106 AB - The molecular structures of four bis-ligated high-spin Ni(II) complexes of the sterically crowded, nonplanar 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-5,10,15,20-tetranitroporphyrin (NiOETNP) are reported. The ligands are imidazole (Im), imidazole plus 2-methylimidazole (2-MeIm) in the crystal lattice, 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm), and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole (BSeD). Extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed in the three imidazole-ligated structures consisting of NH···O and CH···O bonding from the imidazoles to neighboring nitro groups and of NH···N interactions to a nearby 2-MeIm. The different modes of hydrogen bonding, typical of those frequently observed in proteins, mediate the self-assembly of discrete porphyrin dimers as well as more extensive two- and three-dimensional arrays. Only the bis-BSeD complex remains monomeric. The presence or absence of the different types of hydrogen bonds controls the orientations of the axial ligands and also modulates the conformations of the porphyrin skeletons. This interplay of axial ligation, hydrogen bonding, and self-assembly further illustrates the multiconformational landscapes that porphyrins can access as a function of their microenvironment. Such nonplanar deformations have been shown to significantly affect the optical, redox, magnetic, radical, and excited state properties of porphyrin derivatives. That hydrogen bonding can influence ligand interactions with neighboring functional groups as well as macrocycle conformations with their concomitant consequences on physical and chemical properties may thus be particularly relevant to the bioenergetic roles of porphyrin in vivo. These results also raise the question whether point mutations near porphyrins in vivo are structurally, and consequently functionally, innocent.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/02/15/ VL - 108 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2345 EP - 2353 SN - 15206106 AB - In-situ UV-visible spectroscopy was used to measure the extent of reduction of active centers in VOx/γ-Al2O3 during oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane. Prevalent extents of reduction (0.062 to 0.30 e-/V) are much smaller than required for the formation of stoichiometric V3+ or V4+ suboxides. Surface oxygen atoms are the most abundant reactive intermediates during propane ODH, as previously suggested by kinetic and isotopic studies. These measurements involved the rigorous calibration of UV-visible intensities in the pre-edge region using quantitative reoxidation of a small number of centers reduced in H2. Transients observed during changes in C3H8 and O2 concentrations indicate that only a fraction of the prevalent reduced centers (~30-40%) are active in catalytic turnovers, while the rest are reoxidized in time scales much longer than turnover times. The number of catalytically relevant reduced centers depends only on C3H8/O2 ratios, and not on individual reactant concentrations, indicating that oxygen vacancies are the predominant reduced centers and that hydroxyls and alkoxides are present at much lower concentrations. The fraction of V-atoms that exist as catalytically reduced centers and the rate of propane ODH (per exposed V-atom) increase with increasing vanadia surface density and domain size up to surface densities typical of polyvanadate monolayers (~7.5 V/nm2) and then reach nearly constant values at higher surface densities. This relation between the extent of reduction during catalysis and the propene formation rates confirms the redox nature of catalytic cycles and the exclusive kinetic relevance of the reduction part of the cycle, in which C-H bonds are activated using lattice oxygen atoms. This method for measuring the extent of reduction during catalysis using pre-edge features in the UV-visible spectrum provides greater sensitivity and time resolution than X-ray absorption and UV-visible spectroscopic methods based on near-edge spectral features. The approach and initial results seem generally applicable to oxidation reactions using lattice oxygens as reactive intermediates.

No hydrogen evolution is observed from well-annealed, pristine surfaces. Significant amounts of hydrogen, however, desorb from highly defected, ion-sputtered surfaces at ~400 K. Annealing studies show that the most of the defects are healed after heating to 750 K. Successive water exposures also heal these defects. These results indicate that the defect is likely an oxygen vacancy (reduced uranium site). On annealing, oxygen diffuses from the near-surface region to fill the surface vacancy. The dissociative adsorption of water also fills the oxygen vacancy. As the damage resulting from ion sputtering is similar to that caused by the recoil atom formed during radioactive decay, the thermal chemistry at defects may be an indirect, but significant, factor in the radiation chemistry of adsorbed species on alpha-emitting materials.

It was found that, in general, the contour around the minima of the oxygen atoms overlap forming a negative-valued spiral coiled around a positive-valued helix. The positive zone defines a helical groove in the O-C-C-O units where minima lone pairs critical points are located. Topological analysis of the water molecule has also suggested that the attractive electrostatic effect between the positive water O-H zone and the negative PEO lone pairs plays an important role in the hydrogen bonding of the PEO-water system. Thus, the V(r) topology predicts a coil of water molecules around the PEO chain forming hydrogen bonding with two sites of ether oxygens. This coil is formed in such a way that more water molecules accumulate on the cavities surrounding the poly(ethylene oxide)'s oxygen atoms where the minima of the negative zone are located.

We document here this break-down in three-dimensional (3D) media with complete generality and explore its ramifications for photon propagation. We show that effective transmission laws and their associated free-path distributions (FPDs) are in fact never exactly exponential in variable media of any kind. Moreover, if spatial correlations in the extinction field extend at least to the scale of the mean-free-path (MFP), FPDs are necessarily wider-than-exponential in the sense that all higher-order moments of the relevant mean-field FPDs exceed those of the exponential FPD, even if it is tuned to yield the proper MFP. The MFP itself is always larger than the inverse of average extinction in a variable medium. In a vast and important class of spatially-correlated random media, the MFP is indeed the average of the inverse of extinction. We translate these theoretical findings into a practical method for deciding a priori when 3D effects become important. Finally, we discuss an obvious but limited analogy between our analysis of spatial variability and the well-known effects of strong spectral variability in gaseous media when observed or modeled at moderate resolution.

Such an irradiation simulates the effects of large α radiation doses on a vastly reduced time-scale. The experimental set up was designed so that the irradiated materials were contained within a small sample chamber. This chamber was isolated from the main vacuum chamber of the ion beam by means of the Havar foil window. A mass spectrometer linked directly to the sample chamber was used to analyse gaseous products evolved from the materials under irradiation. Samples of a material in which the polymer phase was an ethylenevinylacetate/polyvinylalcohol composite material indicated increased CO2 and CO evolution upon irradiation. This material, however, evolved a considerable amount of volatiles even without irradiation and so a detailed mechanistic interpretation of the results is not possible. A foamed poly(siloxane) material evolved a number of volatile species upon irradiation and possible chemical degradation mechanisms are commented upon. The sample was extremely resistant to radiation induced degradation as measured by volatile evolution though, so again a detailed mechanistic analysis is not possible. Samples of a polyester based polyurethane evolved CO2, CO and a number of high mass volatile species. Assignment of chemical structures to the main molecular ions allows deductions about the chemistry underlying radiation induced change to be made. Furthermore, identification of trends in volatile production allows information about potential degradation mechanisms to be deduced. To assess the contribution of sample heating on volatile evolution a series of pyrolysis experiments were performed. These indicate no evolution of volatiles below 100 °C and evolution of volatiles possessing masses of greater than 50 amu only at temperature of above 300 °C.

The accuracy of the method is up to 95%. Advantages over conventional radiographic methods, which ensure accuracy of just about 50%, are discussed. A physical model has been constructed and general expressions have been obtained for description of the effective atomic number in a two-energy monitoring scheme. A universal dependence has been predicted for the effective atomic number as a function of relative (two-energy) radiographic reflex. The established theoretical law is confirmed by the experimental data presented. The proposed development can find multiple applications in non-destructive testing and related fields, including those in the civil sphere as well as anti-terrorist activities.

In this scheme the network in question is compared with its properly randomized version that preserves some of its low-level topological properties. Statistically significant deviation of any topological property of a network from this null model likely reflects its design principles and/or evolutionary history. We illustrate this basic scheme using the example of the correlation profile of the Internet quantifying correlations between degrees of its neighboring nodes. This profile distinguishes the Internet from previously studied molecular networks with a similar scale-free degree distribution. We finally demonstrate that the clustering in a network is very sensitive to both the degree distribution and its correlation profile and compare the clustering in the Internet to the appropriate null model.

Of this diverse group of solvents, supercritical carbon dioxide has been the subject of particularly intense interest. Carbon dioxide offers numerous benefits in the context of green processing: it is nontoxic, nonflammable, and does not contribute to either photochemical smog or to ozone destruction. Moreover, in its supercritical state, its solvating power can be tuned over a wide range by relatively small changes in temperature and pressure.

The effect of the anode coating on the anode fall is studied experimentally using both biased and emissive probes. Measurements of discharge current oscillations indicate that thruster operation is more stable with the coated anode. The physical mechanism of this phenomenon is not yet understood. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that sputtered 330 SS coatings are heavily twinned on {111} with nanometer scale twin spacing. Molecular dynamics simulations show that, in the nanometer regime where plasticity is controlled by the motion of single rather than pile-ups of dislocations, twin boundaries are very strong obstacles to slip. These observations provide a new perspective to producing ultrahigh strength monolithic metals by utilizing growth twins with nanometer-scale spacing. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

By studying the microstructural properties of NSMO using x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM, we have found that high degree crystallinity leads to improved transport properties such as smaller resistivities at both peak and room temperatures. A peak temperature of 187 K has been observed from a resistivity-temperature measurement, and around 200 K from a magnetization measurement. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The OLEDs include a hole transport layer (HTL) and an electron transport layer composed of an efficient blue emitter. A region of the HTL adjacent to the host blue-emitting layer was doped with an efficient guest red dye. The blue emitter-to-red dye energy transfer probability P[sub HG][sup η] was determined by comparing the emission from the two fluorophores and its dependence on the applied field. P[sub HG][sup η] decreases with increasing field, probably due to an increasing fraction of dye molecules which are positively charged, i.e., which trap a hole. It is also estimated that at fields as low as 0.4 MV/cm, ∼50% of the dye emission is due to trap emission rather than Förster energy transfer. The analysis yields a Förster energy transfer radius R[sub 0]=33.5±3.5 Å. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The linearly polarized PL data strongly indicate that InP/ZnS NCs have a prolongated shape. The resonant-excited circularly polarized PL decay curves indicate that the spin relaxation time of the studied samples is shorter than the radiative lifetime of their exciton. Furthermore, the magnetic field-induced circularly polarized PL process reveals an exciton g factor (gex) of 0.55. Thus, such studies may serve as a tool to directly estimate the NC’s shape anisotropy and to determine the g-factor of charge carriers and excitons in those NCs.

To investigate these processes, we used a three-dimensional (3D) culture system in which malignant human breast cells can be reverted to a normal phenotype by exposure to inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pl3K). Using this assay, we find that Akt and Rac1 act as downstream effectors of Pl3K and function as control points of cellular proliferation and tissue polarity, respectively. Our results also demonstrate that the Pl3K signaling pathway is an integral component of the overall signaling network induced by growth in 3D, as reversion affected by inhibition of Pl3K signaling also down-modulates the endogenous levels of β1integrin and epidermal growth factor receptor, the upstream modulators of P13K, and up-regulates PTEN, the antagonist of Pl3K. These findings reveal key events of the Pl3K pathway that play distinct roles to maintain tissue polarity and that when disrupted are instrumental in the malignant phenotype.

The chloride complex Ind*2YCl(THF) (2, Ind* = heptamethylindenyl) was prepared by the reaction of Ind*Na (1, 2 equiv) with YCl3 in THF. Compound 2 was structurally characterized. Complex reaction mixtures were obtained when compound 2 was treated with KSi(SiMe3)3 or (THF)3LiSi(SiMe3)3, although 2 reacted readily with MeLi to yield the methyl complex Ind*2YMe(THF) (3). Treatment of 3 with H2 or PhSiH3 gave the base-stabilized hydride complex Ind*2YH(THF) (4). The base-free chloride complex Ind*2YCl (5) was synthesized by the reaction of 1 (2 equiv) with YCl3 in toluene. Treatment of 2 with LiCH(SiMe3)2 yielded the base-free alkyl complex Ind*2YCH(SiMe3)2 (6). No reaction was observed between 6 and CH4, and complex reaction mixtures were obtained when 6 was treated with H2 or PhSiH3. However, when 6 was treated with H2 in the presence of THF, the transient hydride Ind*2YH was trapped as complex 4. The increased steric bulk of 6 leads to a slower reaction with PhSiH3 as compared to Cp*2YCH(SiMe3)2 (7).

The stack model used is based on a one-dimensional co-flow cell model developed in prior work. The influence of radiative heat transfer between the PEN (positive electrode, electrolyte, negative electrode body) and the neighboring separator plates on the temperature distribution is also considered. Variations in cell voltage are attributed to asymmetries in stack geometry (boundary effects) and non-uniformity in flow rates, more particularly, flow thermal capacity. Simulations were done in a parallel computing environment with each cell computed in a separate (CPU) process. This natural decomposition of the fuel cell stack reduced the number of communicated variables thereby improving computational performance. The parallelization scheme implemented utilized a message passing interface (MPI) protocol where cell-to-cell communication is achieved via exchange of temperature and thermal fluxes between neighboring cells.

Second, it applies these criteria to select state-of-the-art fuel cell models available in the literature and commercially. The advantages and disadvantages of commercial models are discussed. Third, the paper illustrates the process of choosing a fuel cell model with an example: the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) evaluation of two detailed stand-alone fuel cell system models. One is from Virginia Tech University, and the other is from Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology.

In this paper we use field theory techniques to analyze gauge theories whose tree level superpotential is a generic polynomial in multi-trace operators constructed out of such fields. We show that the effective superpotential is generated by planar diagrams with at most one (generalized) boundary. This justifies the proposal put forward in [I. Bena, R.

The approach is to determine the gas and solids flow fields by the two-fluid Eulerian method and the droplet flow field by the Lagrangian method. The model takes into account droplet evaporation, heat transfer due to droplet–solids collisions and hydrodynamic interactions among gas, droplets, and solids. The governing equations for mass, momentum, and energy contain source terms for effects of droplet evaporation. The converged solution, obtained by iterating between the Eulerian and Lagrangian formulations, yields the spray jet structure in the three-phase flow. Simulations for a confined pipe flow show that a layer of dense solids develops on the spray jet boundary that affects the heat and mass transfer between the spray region and its surroundings. Another interesting finding is the existence of similarity in dimensionless gas velocity profiles in the spray region. This dimensionless velocity profile appears to match the Schlichting formula or “the Law of 3/2” for single-phase jets. A parametric study is conducted to evaluate the effect of solids loading on the spray evaporation length. It indicates that compared to a solids-free case, a volumetric solids loading of just 1% can shorten the spray evaporation length by about 50%. The spray evaporation length is found to decrease asymptotically with further increase in solids loading.

Understanding molecular mechanisms of biological control over COM crystallization is central to development of effective stone disease therapies and can help define general strategies for synthesizing biologically inspired materials. To date, research on COM modification by proteins and small molecules has not resolved the molecular-scale control mechanisms. Moreover, because proteins directing COM inhibition have been identified and sequenced, they provide a basis for general physiochemical investigations of biomineralization. Here, we report molecular-scale views of COM modulation by two urinary constituents, the protein osteopontin and citrate, a common therapeutic agent. Combining force microscopy with molecular modeling, we show that each controls growth habit and kinetics by pinning step motion on different faces through specific interactions in which both size and structure determine the effectiveness. Moreover, the results suggest potential for additive effects of simultaneous action by both modifiers to inhibit the overall growth of the crystal and demonstrate the utility of combining molecular imaging and modeling tools for understanding events underlying aberrant crystallization in disease.

A fundamental question remains, however, as to where these incompatible elements reside before formation of the fluid phase. Here we show that partitioning of calcium between the grain interiors and grain boundaries of olivine in natural and synthetic olivine-rich aggregates follows a thermodynamic model for equilibrium grain-boundary segregation. The model predicts that grain boundaries can be the primary storage sites for elements with large ionic radius-that is, incompatible elements in the Earth's mantle. This observation provides a mechanism for the selective extraction of these elements and gives a framework for interpreting geochemical signatures in mantle rocks.

Recent work has focused on a sharp ‘kink’ in the kinetic energy spectra of the electrons as a possible signature of the force that creates the superconducting state. The kink has been related to a magnetic resonance and also to phonons. Here we report that infrared spectra of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi-2212), shows that this sharp feature can be separated from a broad background and, interestingly, weakens with doping before disappearing completely at a critical doping level of 0.23 holes per copper atom. Superconductivity is still strong in terms of the transition temperature at this doping (Tc ˜ 55?K), so our results rule out both the magnetic resonance peak and phonons as the principal cause of high-Tc superconductivity. The broad background, on the other hand, is a universal property of the copper-oxygen plane and provides a good candidate signature of the ‘glue’ that binds the electrons.

Designs are examined using two-dimensional numerical solutions of the Laplace equation with a Monte Carlo technique to model diffusion. The design technique relies on trigonometric relations that apply for ideal electrokinetic flows. Flows are rotated and stretched along the abrupt interface between adjacent regions having differing specific permeability. Multiple interfaces can be placed in series along a channel. The resulting channels can be expanded to extreme widths while minimizing dispersion of injected analyte bands. These channels can provide a long path length for line-of-sight optical absorption measurements. Expanded sections can be reduced to enable point detection at the exit section of the channel. Designed to be shallow, these channels have extreme aspect ratios in the wide section, greatly increasing the surface-to-volume ratio to increase heat removal and decrease unwanted pressure-driven flow. The use of multiple interfaces is demonstrated by considering several three-interface designs. Faceted flow splitters can be constructed to divide channels into any number of exit channels while minimizing dispersion. The resulting manifolds can be used to construct medians for structural support in wide, shallow channels.

JO - Journal of Organic Chemistry JF - Journal of Organic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/02/20/ VL - 69 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1020 EP - 1027 SN - 00223263 AB - Arrhenius rate expressions were determined for the abstraction of bromine atom from 2-phenethyl bromide by tri-n-butylstannyl radical (Bu3Sn) in benzene using transient absorption spectroscopy, (log(kabs,Br/M−¹ s−¹) = (9.21 ± 0.20) − (2.23 ± 0.28)/θ, θ = 2.3RT kcal/mol, errors are 2σ) and for the abstraction of sulfur atom from prophylene sulfide to form propylene, (log(ks/M−¹ s−¹) = 8.75 ± 0.91) − (2.35 ± 1.33)/θ). Rate constants for reactions of organic bromides, RBr, with Bu3Sn were found to vary as R = benzyl (15.6) > thiiranylmethyl (6.2) > oxiranylmethyl (3.1) > cyclopropylmethyl (1.3) > 2-phenethyl (1.0), with kabs,Br = 6.8 × 107 M−¹ s−¹ at 353 K for 2-phenethyl bromide. Bromine abstraction from α-bromomethylthiirane is about 7-fold faster than sulfur atom abstraction and is comparable to the reactivity of a secondary alkyl bromide. The potential surface for the vinylthiomethyl → allylthiyl radical rearrangement at UB3LYP/6-31G(d) and UB3LYP/6-311+G-(2d,2p) levels of theory suggests that the thiiranylmethyl radical is produced about 9 kcal/mol above the allylthiyl radical on the rearrangement surface, consistent with the observed enhancement of the Br atom abstraction from the thiirane and with synchronous C-S bond scission of the thiirane ring. The selectivities reported in this work for S vs Cl and Br abstraction provide applications for radical-based sythesis and new competition basis rate expressions for trialkylstannyl radicals.

The water molecules are distributed fairly symmetrically around the ion. In contrast, anions bind to water hydrogen atoms. The water molecules are arranged asymmetrically around the ion, enabling hydrogen bonding between them.

The dimensions of the well can be determined with structural probes (high resolution LEED and STM) while the electronic structure can be obtained with angle resolved photoemission and STM spectroscopy. For heteroepitaxial growth the dimension of the well depends on the thickness of the wetting layer between the island and the substrate. For the Pb/Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 system using SPA-LEED and STM, we have measured the thickness of the layer underneath the islands and the substrate to be 1 ML at all temperatures. For Pb films grown on top of the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 at low temperatures T<110 K we have determined the height distribution at the metal/vacuum interface with STM to test how the quantitative analysis of QWS found in photoemission experiments is affected.

Spectra were taken after stepwise Sm deposition onto a clean GaN(0 0 0 1) surface at room temperature and after annealing. Based on the analysis of resonant photoemission spectra taken for hν=136 eV (divalent samarium resonance) and hν=141 eV (trivalent samarium resonance) we find that both divalent and trivalent samarium states are present in the GaN–Sm interface layer after each step of deposition. The average valence of the system increases from 2.57 for a coverage of 0.6 A˚ to 2.73 for 3.2 A˚. Above this coverage the average valence drops and reaches a final value of 2.63 for a coverage of 10 A˚. The Ga3d core level evolution confirms that two valence Sm states are present in the interface region. A large chemical shift of the Ga3d core level after samarium deposition and a moderate decrease in the Ga3d attenuation curve indicate that a reactive interface is created when Sm atoms are deposited on the GaN(0 0 0 1) surface. Annealing of the Sm/GaN system to 500 °C induces a valence change from Sm2+ to Sm3+ and promotes diffusion of Sm from the interface into the bulk.

The model is based on the preferential nucleation and growth of islands in regions of tensile strain in the total strain field on a spacer-layer surface induced both by embedded islands and by growing surface islands. Surface islands nucleate at the regions of tensile strain induced by embedded islands. The islands grow in size and induce increasingly large compressive strain on the spacer-layer surface. A surface island reaches a stable size after the total strain field around it becomes compressive. The model predicts that islands in successive layers not only form ordered columns but also show uniform distributions of island size and spacing, in agreement with experimental observations.

Rules deduced from the known properties of elementary fermions are sharpened and extended in the first part. Conclusions drawn from the rules in the second part are also honed and expanded and an estimate of the neutrino mass eigenstates is added. In the third part, a tentative explanation of the rules is discussed. In my earlier paper, I suggested replacing the point-sources postulated by the Standard Model for each generation by finite 'source-shapes', equal for all elementary fermions of a generation and systematically decreasing in volume from the first to the third generation, thus increasing the effect of self-interactions. According to the rules a correlation exists between the mass of an elementary fermion and the strength of its self-interaction, thus an increase in self-interactions would resolve the problem of the hierarchical masses. A possible connection between the existence of only three generations and the three-dimensionality of space also is discussed. In the epilogue the question is explored whether finite source-shapes for the elementary fermions can be reconciled with fundamental theoretical tenets.

Owing to the imposed symmetry conditions on the fields and the paraxial fundamental rays, the corrector does not introduce aberrations with 2-fold symmetry. The chromatic aberrations are corrected by means of crossed electric magnetic quadrupoles while the third-order geometrical aberrations are eliminated by octopoles. By placing these elements at distinct positions within the corrector, it is possible to successively eliminate the third-order aberrations in such a way that each subsequent correction does not affect the aberrations corrected in the preceding correction steps.

From these distributions, a package of subroutines computes on-axis generalized gradients and their derivatives at arbitrary points on the magnet axis for input to the numerical map-generating subroutines of the Lie-algebraic map code Marylie. In the present version of the package, the magnet menu includes: (1) cylindrical current-sheet or radially thick current distributions with either open boundaries or with a surrounding cylindrical boundary with normal field lines (which models high-permeability iron), (2) Halbach-type permanent multipole magnets, either as sheet magnets or as radially thick magnets, (3) modeling of arbitrary fields inside a cylinder by use of a fictitious current sheet. The subroutines provide on-axis gradients and their z derivatives to essentially arbitrary order, although in the present third- and fifth-order Marylie only the zeroth through sixth derivatives are needed. The formalism is especially useful in beam-optics applications, such as magnetic lenses, where realistic treatment of fringe-field effects is needed.

An electron mirror is used for the correction of the lowest order spherical and chromatic aberrations. Two very different methods, one using finite-element method and ray-tracing technique and the other using charge ring method and differential algebra technique, have been employed to simulate the electrostatic field and the behavior of the electron beam. Good agreement has been obtained between the two methods and a tetrode mirror has been found to effectively correct the spherical and chromatic aberrations. Operating at 20 kV, the point resolution for 100% transmission reaches 50 nm with the mirror corrector, a significant reduction from that of 440 nm without correction. The highest resolution achieved is 4 nm at 2% transmission, as opposed to 20 nm at 1% transmission without correction.

The instrument incorporates two new ion optics developments: (1) “push–pull” front end ion optics and (2) focusing and deflecting lens. Implementing these novel elements significantly enhance analytical capabilities of the instrument. Extensive three-dimensional computer simulations of the instrument were conducted in SIMION 3D© to perfect its ion optics. The operating principles of the new ion optical systems are described, and a scheme of the new instrument is outlined together with its operating modes.

Additionally to their longitudinal isochronicity, such systems can provide a high transversal phase-space acceptance so that they can make use of ion beams of large phase-space volumes. This can be achieved by building the system from matched unit cells similarly to the techniques used in the design of accelerator storage rings.

The beam dynamics of the superconducting low-velocity positive-ion injector linac for the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne National Lab is used to demonstrate some advantages of the new simulation capability. The injector linac involves four different types of superconducting accelerating structures and has a total of 18 resonators. The detailed geometry for each of the accelerating cavities is included, allowing an accurate representation of the on- and off-axis electric fields. The fields are obtained within the code from a Poisson-solver for cylindrically symmetric electrodes of arbitrary geometry. The transverse focusing is done with superconducting solenoids. A detailed comparison of the transverse and longitudinal phase space is made with the conventional ray-tracing code LINRAY. The two codes are evaluated for ease of optimization, with particular attention to higher-order effects, and future applications are discussed.

The RIA development effort involves several US Laboratories (ANL, JLAB, LANL, LBNL, MSU, ORNL). The RIA project includes a continuous wave 1.4 GV driver linac and a 123 MV post-accelerator, both based on superconducting (SC) cavities operating at frequencies from 48 to 805 MHz. Several new conceptual solutions in physics design of heavy-ion SC linacs have been developed recently. In particular, the concept of multiple charge state beam acceleration in SC linacs was tested and will be used in the driver linac to increase available accelerated beam power. A detailed design has been developed for the focusing–accelerating lattice of the RIA linacs which are configured as an array of short SC cavities, each with independently controllable RF phase. Independent phasing allows the velocity profile to be varied: the linac can be tuned to provide higher energies for the lighter ions. For example, the reference design linac can be tuned to provide a uranium beam at an energy of 403 MeV/u and can be re-tuned to provide a proton beam at 900 MeV. The linac must provide 100 kW beam power with the possibility to upgrade up to 400 kW.

To test these ideas an experiment was carried out at Los Alamos with proton beams in a 52-quadrupole focusing channel. Rms emittances and beam widths were obtained from measured beam profiles for comparison with the maximum emittance-growth predictions of a free-energy model and the maximum halo-amplitude predictions of a particle-core model. The experimental results are also compared with multiparticle simulations. In this paper we will present the experimental results and discuss the implications with respect to the validity of both the models and the simulations.

The absorber of liquid hydrogen contained by thin aluminum windows is the only component which introduces stochastic processes into the otherwise deterministic acceleration system. The scattering dynamics of the transverse coordinates is described by Gaussian distributions. The asymmetric energy loss function is represented by the Vavilov distribution characterized by the minimum number of collisions necessary for a particle undergoing loss of the energy distribution average resulting from the Bethe–Bloch formula. Examples of the interplay between stochastic processes and deterministic beam dynamics are given.

Staging the cooling process according to initial emittances, coupled with modest cooling factors, permits more optimal and efficient cooling channel designs and avoids much of the difficulty encountered with channels which attempt to maintain strong focusing (large, 300–500 mrad, divergences) across ultra-large momentum ranges (⩾±20% δp/p). Relaxation of spot size at the absorber, especially in the “precooling” stage, allowed development of an efficient transverse cooling channel based simply on a quadrupole FODO cell. This work describes the design of such a cooling channel and its application as an upstream stage of beam cooling. Being a linear channel with no bends, it serves to reduce the large transverse beam size delivered from muon-beam capture and bunching before entering more restricted optical structures such as transverse plus longitudinal cooling channels or accelerators.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/02/21/ VL - 84 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 533 EP - 545 SN - 14786435 AB - Intrinsic defect processes were compared for an extensive range of A 3+ B 3+ O 3 compounds with A cation radii from Sc 3+ to La 3+ and B cation radii from Al 3+ to In 3+ . Crossovers between cation antisite, Schottky and oxygen Frenkel disorder are predicted as a function of cation radius. The radiation tolerance of these compounds was discussed in the light of their relative defect process energies. On this basis there should be a wide variation in radiation tolerance. In particular, only a limited compositional range, coincident with the bixbyite structure, will exhibit the high tolerance previously observed in materials with fluorite and fluorite-related structures. Materials with the rhombohedral or orthorhombic perovskite structures will be significantly less tolerant.

The scattering was described by a dynamic structure factor that accounts for decoupled diffusive jumps and free rotational motions of the glucose molecules. With increasing glucose concentration, the diffusion constant decreases by a factor five and the time between jumps increases considerably. Our observations validate theoretical predictions concerning the impact of concentration on the environment of a glucose molecule and the formation of cages made by neighboring glucose molecules at higher concentrations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We use a self-consistent field theory method, and introduce a real space approach to calculate the tensile and shear moduli as a function of block number. The former is found to be in qualitative agreement with experiment. We find that the increase in bridging fraction with block number, that follows the increase in modulus, is not responsible for the increase in modulus. It is demonstrated that the change in modulus is due to an increase in mixing of repulsive A and B monomers. Under extension, this increase originates from a widening of the interface, and more molecules pulled free of the interface. Under compression, only the second of these two processes acts to increase the modulus. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Cross-velocity correlation (counterflows) for any pair of components in this ternary system is determined. Comparison between the exact multicomponent approach and the pseudobinary approximation, which is based on the assumption that the PEG4-water mixed solvent can be treated as one component, shows how the latter approach is misleading in describing the electrolyte diffusion properties in mixed solvents. Our results show strong coupling between the fluxes of NaCl and PEG4, which is attributed to the NaCl-PEG4 nonpreferential interactions in water. Moreover, the behavior of the NaCl and PEG4 chemical potentials as a function of the system composition can be quantitatively extracted from our diffusion measurements with the help of some interesting observations about the viscosity and conductivity properties of the system.

This is usually sufficient for many samples, but more complicated situations (such as anisotropic or depolarizing samples) require more sophisticated measurements. Over the last 7 years, we have developed the two-modulator generalized ellipsometer (2-MGE), which measures eight elements of the sample Mueller matrix simultaneously either in reflection or transmission. In reflection, the 2-MGE totally characterizes light reflection from anisotropic samples, measuring the normal ellipsometry parameters, as well as the cross-polarization and depolarization effects. Applications include the determination of the spectroscopic optical functions of uniaxial materials (such as TiO2 and ZnO), and the measurement of cross-polarization from diffractive structures. In transmission, the 2-MGE completely characterizes a general linear diattenuator and retarder. Applications include the measurement of the retardation and diattenuation of film polarizers and internal electric fields in LiNbO3 and CdZnTe under bias.

The material used in this research was fabricated by roll bonding alternately stacked sheets of a standard 5140 steel and a modified 5140 with a higher manganese content. The resulting plate had a well defined manganese banding pattern with a known segregation bandwidth. Cylindrical dilatometer specimens were machined with the axial direction aligned parallel and perpendicular to the segregation planes. The banded steel was thermally cycled so that the material alternated between austenitic and martensitic structures. Results for multiple thermal cycles revealed that tensile plastic deformation occurs normal to the segregation plane and compressive plastic deformation occurs parallel to the segregation plane. An examination of the transformations associated with heating and cooling showed that an exaggerated apparent transformation strain was measured in the direction perpendicular to the segregation layers and a suppressed apparent transformation strain was measured parallel to the segregation layers.

At temperatures less than 300 °C the precipitates are observed to be about 2 nm in diameter and not to coarsen, at least in the dose range from ∼10−3 to 10−2 dpa. As a result the hardening is close to a maximum. This phenomenon is studied here by computer simulations based on the “mean-field” approach for describing microstructural evolution in a binary Fe–Cu alloy. It is shown that the experimental data obtained from electron irradiated material and reactor-neutron irradiated steels have a stage of precipitate evolution intermediate between growth and coarsening. During this stage the size distribution of precipitates broadens while the number density and the mean size remain constant, which explains the observations. The role interstitial atom clusters produced in displacement cascades may have on the kinetics of copper precipitate coarsening is discussed.

Here, the first evidence of toughening mechanisms operating in carbon-nanotube-reinforced ceramic composites is presented. A highly ordered array of parallel multiwall CNTs in an alumina matrix was fabricated. Nanoindentation introduced controlled cracks and the damage was examined by scanning electron microscopy. These nanocomposites exhibit the three hallmarks of toughening found in micron-scale fiber composites: crack deflection at the CNT/matrix interface; crack bridging by CNTs; and CNT pullout on the fracture surfaces. Interface debonding and sliding can thus occur in materials with microstructures approaching the atomic scale. Furthermore, for certain geometries a new mechanism of nanotube collapse in “shear bands” occurs, rather than crack formation, suggesting that these materials can have multiaxial damage tolerance. The quantitative indentation data and computational models are used to determine the multiwall CNT axial Young’s modulus as 200–570 GPa, depending on the nanotube geometry and quality. Three-dimensional FEM analysis indicates that matrix residual stresses on the order of 300 MPa are sustained in these materials without spontaneous cracking, suggesting that residual stress can be used to engineer enhanced performance. These nanoscale ceramic composites thus have potential for toughening and damage tolerance at submicron scales, and so are excellent candidates for wear-resistant coatings.

In the present investigation on polycrystalline Cu/austenitic 330 stainless steel multilayered films with 〈1 1 1〉 texture, we have found a high density of growth twins and stacking faults. The stainless steel layers, in particular, exhibit twinning and faults on the scale of 3–4 nm, whereas in the Cu layers, a large fraction of the grains show twins with spacings of a few tens of nanometers. A model is developed that accounts for the formation of nanoscale twins during sputter deposition in terms of twin boundary or stacking fault energy and deposition rate. The increase of hardness with decreasing layer thickness follows the Hall–Petch law for layer thickness greater than about 50 nm, but at lower layer thickness the hardness saturates to a value of about 5 GPa. Hardening mechanisms are interpreted in terms of layer thickness and twin spacing within layers.

The impedance involves a ratio of transverse fields and power flux. The calculated impedance for a two-dimensional photonic crystal is very well defined using the transfer matrix method. The predicted frequency-dependent reflectance from this impedance agrees very well with rigorous transfer matrix calculations for band modes and waveguiding modes in the band gap. This impedance concept will be very powerful in minimization of insertion loss into photonic crystal waveguides, designing waveguide splitters, and for modeling reflectance/transmittance from photonic crystals. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Results show that, under ambient conditions, deuteration in the first ∼500 nm from the sample surface significantly decreases within the first several days after D[sub 2]O surface polishing. This effect is attributed to deuterium–hydrogen exchange. The effective diffusion coefficient of this process is strongly dependent on both the degree of deuteration and the sample growth conditions.

A smooth temperature gradient is achieved, covering a range of temperatures from 200 to 830 °C. In a single growth run, the optimal growth temperature for Sr[sub x]Ba[sub 1-x]Nb[sub 2]O[sub 6] thin films on MgO(001) substrates was determined to be 750 °C, based on results from ellipsometry and piezoresponse force microscopy. Variations in optical properties and ferroelectric domains structures were clearly observed as function of growth temperature, and these physical properties can be related to their different crystalline quality. Piezoresponse force microscopy indicated the formation of uniform ferroelectric film for deposition temperatures above 750 °C. At 660 °C, isolated micron-sized ferroelectric islands were observed, while samples deposited below 550 °C did not exhibit clear piezoelectric contrast. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We show how the simultaneous P–T application allows for better control of the reactive sintering of a nanocrystalline SiC matrix in which diamond crystals are embedded. The measured fracture toughness K[sub IC] of the synthesized composites has been enhanced greatly, as much as 50% from 8.2 to 12.0 MPa m1/2, as the crystal size of the SiC matrix decreases from 10 μm to 20 nm. Our result contradicts a commonly held belief of an inverse correlation between hardness and fracture toughness. We demonstrate the importance of nanostructure for the enhancement of mechanical properties of the composite materials. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Three commercially available DLC coatings have been compared to near-frictionless carbon (NFC) coatings and to uncoated metal in standardized lubricity tests and custom wear tests intended to simulate the fuel system environment. The coatings were applied to both laboratory balls and flats and to production fuel injector tips. These coatings provided improvements in friction and wear over uncoated surfaces, with the greatest improvements found in parts coated with NFC.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/02/24/ VL - 43 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1781 EP - 1786 SN - 00062960 AB - High-frequency, high-field EPR at 330 GHz was used to study the photo-oxidized primary donor of photosystem I (P700+˙) in wild-type and mutant forms of photosystem I in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The main focus was the substitution of the axial ligand of the chlorophyll a and chlorophyll á molecules that form the P700 heterodimer. Specifically, we examined PsaA-H676Q, in which the histidine axial ligand of the A-side chlorophyll á (PA) is replaced with glutamine, and PsaB-H656Q, with a similar replacement of the axial ligand of the B-side chlorophyll a (PB), as well as the double mutant (PsaA-H676Q/PsaB-H656Q), in which both axial ligands were replaced. We also examined the PsaA-T739A mutant, which replaces a threonine residue hydrogen-bonded to the 13¹ -keto group of PA with an alanine residue. The principal g-tensor components of the P700+ radical determined in these mutants and in wild-type photosystem I were compared with each other, with the monomeric chlorophyll cation radical (Chlz+˙) in photosystem II, and with recent theoretical calculations for different model structures of the chlorophyll a+ cation radical. In mutants with a modified PB axial ligand, the gzz component of P700+˙ was shifted down by up to 2 × 10-4, while mutations near PA had no significant effect. We discuss the shift of the gzz component in terms of a model with a highly asymmetric distribution of unpaired electron spin in the P700+˙ radical cation, mostly localized on PB, and a deviation of the PB chlorophyll structure from planarity due to the axial ligand.

Several samples were interrogated via automated electron back-scattered diffraction measurements in the post-hydride state. Characterization included orientation mapping, deformation twin identification, and grain boundary analysis. It was found that preferential hydride initiation sites were associated with general high-angle grain boundaries, low-angle boundaries, and twin boundaries of two systems. Linear segregation or precipitation features suggest the existence of unresolved twins that could be correlated with many of the remaining hydrides. The tendency of certain orientations to exhibit differing hydride potentials based on atomic density in the habit plane was also considered. The results suggest the dominant role of enhanced sub-surface hydrogen diffusion at misoriented regions in controlling hydride nucleation and growth.

We observe one main structural motif, namely thickly coated nanotube structures, densely covered with OsO2, consisting of multiple bundles of derivatized tubes. In a few instances, bridging uncoated tubes, connecting these thickly coated structures, incorporate a number of smaller nanotube bundles, projecting out from the larger functionalized aggregates of tubes, It is believed that OsO2 (a) initially forms on the nanotubes by the preferential covalent sidewall functionalization of metallic nanotubes and (b) subsequently self-aggregates. The formation of an intermediate charge-transfer complex is likely the basis for the observed selectivity and reactivity of metallic tubes. Extensive characterization of these osmylated adducts has been performed using a variety of electron microscopy and optical spectroscopy techniques.

In HFEPR spectroscopy, the combination of variable sub-THz frequencies generated by backward wave oscillators (150-700 GHz, corresponding to energy 5-23 cm-1) and high magnetic fields (0-25 T) constitutes a novel experimental technique allowing accurate determination of a complete set of spin Hamiltonian parameters for this complex: 0 = -14.76(2) cm-1, E = 1.141(8) cm-1, gx = 2.166(4), gy = 2.170(4), gz = 2.240(5). Independent VTVH-MCD studies on multiple absorption bands of the complex yield D = -14(3) cm-1, E = 0.96(20) cm-1 (|E/D| = 0.08(2)), gx = 2.15(5), gy = 2.16(4), and gz = 2.17(3). This very good agreement between HFEPR and MCD indicates that there is no inherent discrepancy between these two quite different experimental techniques. Thus, depending on the nature of the sample, either can be reliably used to determine zero-field splitting parameters in high-spin Co(ll), with the HFEPR being more accurate but VTVH-MCD being more sensitive.

Advances have been made in recent years using guided waves to inspect single layer structures, such as pipes, tubes, and aircraft structures. Multi-layered structures present many new aspects to guided wave propagation. A theoretical understanding of what modes exist, how do the modes behave, and what factors influence them needs to be acquired for many applications. Experiments must be carried out to evaluate potential for practical applications. Examples of practical applications include coated pipes, composites, diffusion bonded aircraft structures, and microelectronic structures. This work is a fundamental study of ultrasonic guided waves in multi-layered plates. Experiments were conducted on multi-layered plates to demonstrate defect detection in layer of interest of a multi-layered structure by preferentially exciting modes with sufficient energy in that layer. Analysis of the dispersion curves show that some modes are more attractive candidates than others based on their displacements and energy distribution across the structure. Experimental results show that sweeping frequency and phase velocity can be performed to find suitable modes for inspecting a layer of interest for a given multi-layered structure. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/26/ VL - 700 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 482 EP - 487 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Thermal diffusivity imaging has been widely used as a nondestructive evaluation technique for characterizing structural components and detecting defects. The accuracy of the diffusivity calculations depends on several experimental parameters. While most of the parameters can be controlled to within acceptable range, finite flash duration is the dominant parameter affecting the accuracy for high-diffusivity or thin materials. In this study, a new theoretical formulation is developed to correct the finite flash duration of typical photographic flash lamps. Experimental results showed that the formulation determines the correct diffusivity of a thin graphite and a high-diffusivity ScD composite sample. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

If a suitable number of the resonance frequencies of an elastic object are known, in principle, one can deduce a number of its physical properties like elastic constants, density, dimensions, shape, etc. However, general analytic expressions are not available for the normal mode free vibrations of a body with arbitrary shape and elastic properties. It was noticed by Holland and Demarest (1971) that a simple variational principle can be applied to compute the normal mode frequencies of an elastic body with free boundaries. Based on this variational method, Visscher et al. (1991) developed the XYZ algorithm which can be applied to compute the resonance frequencies of a body with arbitrary shape and elastic properties. Since layered systems are finding increasing use in engineering applications, computational studies are being carried out to investigate the suitability of RUS as an NDE technique to determine imperfections in a layered system. Specifically, the normal mode frequencies of a four-layered sphere are computed by the XYZ algorithm. It will be shown that the deviations from specified layer properties cause noticeable shifts on the resonant frequencies. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These RIBs provide a unique opportunity for a whole class of measurements that could never before be realized. A recent highlight has been the acceleration of “pure” beams of fission fragments such as 82Ge (T1/2=4.6s) and 132Sn (T1/2=40s). These semi-magic and doubly-magic nuclei are important benchmarks within the chart of nuclides, because they are constraints for the shell-model parameter sets. We are currently developing the required experimental tools and specialized techniques for studies in nuclear astrophysics, reaction spectroscopy, and nuclear structure research with RIBs. I will discuss some of the challenges encountered with examples from selected topical areas with which I have been involved. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/02/27/ VL - 701 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 164 EP - 168 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Based on GOE sparse matrices, a model for decay-out of superdeformed bands is formulated, with focus on the degree of chaoticity of the spectrum of normally deformed states, to which the superdeformed band couples at decay-out. By means of the effective dimensionality parameter, the spectrum may be varied between the two limiting situations of complete order and complete chaos. The model is applied to the measured distribution of transition strength of decay-out γ-ray lines in 194Hg, and it is found that the normally deformed states should be closer to the chaotic than the ordered situation, with GOE-type spectral correlations extending over at least 10 levels. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The excitation energy of the lowest observed level in this band is found to be 10,644 keV with an assigned spin and parity of 24+. In addition, nine transitions of dipole character have been identified, which connect the excited superdeformed band 6 in 152Dy to the yrast SD band. The excitation energy of the lowest level in the excited SD band 6 is 14,239 keV. The spin and parity of this state has been determined to be either 29- or 31-. The measured properties of SD band 6 are consistent with an interpretation in terms of a rotational band built on an octupole vibration. A comparison with an RPA calculation by Nakatsukasa et al. suggests that the spin of the lowest SD band 6 level is 31-. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Discrete states at spins of 20h and above have been identified and these data allow both gamma-ray fold and binary-fragment particle angular distribiution analyses to be made.

The total cross-section has been measured with the Fragment Mass Analyser at Argonne National Laboratory and found to be somewhat larger than has previously been measured.

The columns were the non-endcapped Waters Resolve-C18, and the Waters XTerra MS C18. Both columns exhibit similar C18-chain densities (2.45 and 2.50 μmol/m2) and differ essentially by the nature of the underivatized solid support (a conventional, highly polar silica made from water glass, hence containing metal impurities, versus a silica–methylsilane hybrid surface with a lower density of less acidic free silanols). Thirty-two adsorption data points were acquired by FA, for caffeine, between 10−3 and 24 g/l, a dynamic range of 24,000. Twenty-eigth adsorption data points were acquired for phenol, from 0.025 to 75 g/l, a dynamic range of 3000. The expectation-maximization procedure was used to derive the affinity energy distribution (AED) from the raw FA data points, assuming a local Langmuir isotherm. For caffeine, the AEDs converge to a bimodal and a quadrimodal distribution on XTerra MS-C18 and Resolve-C18, respectively. The values of the saturation capacity (qs,1≃0.80 mol/l and qs,2≃0.10 mol/l) and the adsorption constant (b1≃3.1 l/mol and b2≃29.1 l/mol) measured on the two columns for the lowest two energy modes 1 and 2, are comparable. These data are consistent with those previously measured on an endcapped Kromasil-C18 in a 30/70 (v/v), methanol/water solution (qs,1=0.9 mol/l and qs,2=0.10 mol/l, b1=2.4 l/mol and b2=16.1 l/mol). The presence of two higher energy modes on the Waters Resolve-C18 column (qs,3≃0.013 mol/l and qs,4≃2.6 10−4 mol/l, b3≃252 l/mol and b4=13,200 l/mol) and the strong peak tailing of caffeine are explained by the existence of adsorption sites buried inside the C18-bonded layer. It is demonstrated that strong interactions between caffeine and the water protected bare silica surface cannot explain these high-energy sites because the retention of caffeine on an underivatized Resolve silica column is almost zero. Possible hydrogen-bond interactions between caffeine and the non-protected isolated silanol groups remaining after synthesis amidst the C18-chain network cannot explain these high energy interactions because, then, the smaller phenol molecule should exhibit similarly strong interactions with these isolated silanols on the same Resolve-C18 column and, yet, the consequences of such interactions are not observed. These sites are more consistent with the heterogeneity of the local structure of the C18-bonded layer. Regarding the adsorption of phenol, no matter whether the column is endcapped or not, its molecular interactions with the bare silica were negligible. For both columns, the best adsorption isotherm was the Bilangmuir model (with qs,1≃2 and qs,2≃0.67 mol/l, b1≃0.61 and b2≃10.3 l/mol). These parameters are consistent with those measured previously on an endcapped Kromasil-C18 column under the same conditions (qs,1=1.5 and qs,2=0.71 mol/l, b1=1.4 l/mol and b2=11.3 l/mol). As for caffeine, the high-energy sites are definitely located within the C18-bonded layer, not on the bare surface of the adsorbent.

These data were modeled for best agreement between the experimental data points and the adsorption isotherm model. The adsorption-energy distributions, based on the expectation–maximization (EM) procedure, were also derived and used for the selection of the best isotherm model. The adsorption energy distributions (AEDs) for phenol and caffeine converged toward a trimodal and a quadrimodal distribution, respectively. Energy distributions with more than two modes had not been reported before for the adsorption of these compounds on packed columns. The third high energy mode observed for both phenol and caffeine seems to be specific of the surface of the monolithic column while the first and second low energy modes have the same physical origin as the two modes detected on packed columns. These results suggest significant differences between the structures of the porous silica in these different materials.

Modeling of adsorbate–adsorbate interactions by a two-component extension of a BET kinetic isotherm model JO - Journal of Chromatography A JF - Journal of Chromatography A Y1 - 2004/02/27/ VL - 1028 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 121 SN - 00219673 AB - A new two-component competitive adsorption model was derived to account for the competitive adsorption data of mixtures of ethylbenzoate and 4-tert-butylphenol, on a C18-Kromasil column under RPLC conditions (mobile phase, methanol/water, 62/38, v/v). The derivation is based on kinetic arguments and is an extension to multicomponent systems of the single-component BET isotherm. The model assumes that the molecules of the first compound (A) can adsorb on layers made of molecules of either A or B, while molecules of B can only adsorb on layers made of molecules of A. This makes the competitive isotherm consistent with the single-component isotherms of ethylbenzoate and 4-tert-butylphenol, the multilayer BET and the monolayer Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. The competitive adsorption data were acquired by frontal analysis (FA) with equimolar mixtures of eight different concentrations. For the seven lowest concentrations, these data were derived from the retention times of the shocks of the two compounds and the concentration of the intermediate plateau of the less retained compound. At the highest concentration (25 g/l), the individual band profiles were measured by collecting and analyzing twenty fractions. The low concentration data (C≤10 g/l) are well accounted for by the two competitive isotherm models derived previously but these models fail to describe the experimental data of 4-tert-butylphenol at high concentrations. By contrast, the new model predicts very well the experimental adsorption data for mixtures of ethylbenzoate and 4-tert-butylphenol in the whole range of concentration studied. Our results suggest that the adsorption constant of 4-tert-butylphenol onto layers made of ethylbenzoate (bB,A=0.0120 l/g) is intermediate between those of ethylbenzoate on layers made of 4-tert-butylphenol (bA,B=0.0105 l/g) and of ethylbenzoate on itself (bA,A=0.0145 l/g). This new model should give an improved description of the band splitting observed for 4-tert-butylphenol in the presence of ethylbenzoate.

We revealed a strongly polarized, biconical nebula 10 are seconds (6000 astronomical units) in diameter around the star LkHα 198 and also observed a polarized jet-like feature associated with the deeply embedded source LkHα 198-IR. The star LkHα 233 presents a narrow, unpolarized dark lane consistent with an optically thick circumstellar disk blocking our direct view of the star. These data show that the lower-mass T Tauri and intermediate mass Herbig Ae/Be stars share a common evolutionary sequence.

We report here the presence of a [sup13]C depletion associated with a [sup15]N enrichment in an anhydrous interplanetary dust particle. Our observations suggest that the anomalies are carried by heteroatomic organic compounds. Theoretical models indicate that lowtemperature formation of organic compounds in cold interstellar molecular clouds can produce carbon and nitrogen fractionations, but it remains to be seen whether the specific effects observed here can be reproduced.

Perovskite-type materials ABO3 in which A=La, Li and B=Ti exhibit high lithium ion conductivities, with a bulk conductivity of 1.2 mS/cm at 30 °C and an apparent grain-boundary conductivity of 0.03 mS/cm; this solid electrolyte is only stable above 1.6 V (vs. Li°) because Ti(IV) can be reduced to Ti(III) below this voltage. In this study, we investigated a highly conducting perovskite-type Li–Sr–Ta–Zr–O structure, in which the A and B cations of SrZrO3 are partially substituted by Li and Ta, respectively. Four compositions were selected and synthesized to find an optimal composition. Sintering temperatures between 1200 and 1400 °C were used to determine the optimum synthesis conditions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the crystalline phases within the sintered products. The lithium-ion conductivity of these materials was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy. The sample with optimized composition, Li3/8Sr7/16Ta3/4Zr1/4O3, exhibited a bulk lithium-ion conductivity of 0.2 mS/cm at 30 °C and an apparent grain-boundary conductivity of 0.13 mS/cm. This solid electrolyte was found to be stable above 1.0 V against metallic lithium. Below 1.0 V, about 0.08 mol lithium can be inserted irreversibly per mol of Li3/8Sr7/16Ta3/4Zr1/4O3.

This relationship holds for some sodalites, in particular those containing mixtures of Li, K and Na as the charge balancing cations. By utilizing previously published lattice parameters for Li/Na and K/Na mixed cation chloride sodalites, linear curves were drawn allowing the composition of the mixed cation sodalites to be determined from their lattice parameters. Further, by mathematical addition of the curves for Li/Na and K/Na mixed cation chloride sodalites, a linear curve was developed and tested for the mixed tri-cation Li/Na/K chloride sodalites. This provides a simple way to monitor the composition of mixed cation sodalites and has an application in monitoring the composition of multi-phase materials where the sodalite phase cannot be easily separated for elemental analysis.

By considering patterns of squark and slepton masses, we derive a set of sum rules for the sfermion masses which are independent of the manner in which SO(10) breaks to the Standard Model gauge group via its SU(5) subgroups. The phenomenology arising from such non-universality is unaffected by the symmetry breaking pattern, so long as the breaking occurs via any of the SU(5) subgroups of the SO(10) group.

The catalytic activity of the Y, FAU zeolite showed significant variations with both the nature of the charge compensating cation, and the method of catalyst preparation. Our results show that conventional multiple solution ion exchange is insufficient to prepare the most active catalyst for the given cationic form. The highest NOx conversion level was achieved over a Ba-Y, FAU which was prepared by a multiple ion exchange method, in which each solution ion exchange step was followed by a high temperature calcination. A systematic change in the catalytic activity was observed as a function of the charge density around the charge compensating cation. For both catalyst series (alkali and alkaline earth ion exchanged Y, FAU), the specific activity decreased with increasing electrostatic field around the charge compensating cation. The large difference in the NOx reduction activity at a given e/r ratio, however, may suggest different reaction mechanisms for the two sets of catalysts. Indeed, there is a noticeable difference in the product distribution (selectivity) for the alkali and alkaline earth series of catalysts. Our results also reveal that extreme care must be taken when catalytic activities are compared for seemingly similar materials. We found that two base zeolite materials with identical Si/Al ratios, obtained from the same manufacturer but from different synthesis batches show significantly different catalytic behavior.

Steady-state experiments conducted at 473, 623, and 773 K show that ordering of the catalysts impacts NOx conversion, and maximum efficiency is obtained when the zeolite material precedes the alumina. Optimal ordering results in greater than 80% conversion at 473 K, and efficiencies greater than 95% were obtained at 623 and 773 K under steady operation when propene was added as a reductant at C1:NOx=12. Temperature cycling experiments covering the temperature range 373–773 K were used to determine a ‘transient’ cycle efficiency of 70% for the optimal catalyst configuration. Results of these experiments suggest that preferred ordering likely results in better management of stored NOx when transients to higher temperature occur. Studies also show that improved hydrocarbon utilization is evident in the optimal configuration due to the nature of the partially oxidized hydrocarbons that are formed at various stages of during the plasma-facilitated catalytic NOx reduction process.

The general conclusion reached was that the metal catalysts created in this fashion were extremely highly dispersed (>50% in some cases) and had concomitantly high activity on a gram basis. The PdAg/C catalysts exceeded the selectivity of PdAg/Al2O3 catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. The selectivity of Pd/C catalysts for 1-butene isomerization was equal or better than that of catalysts prepared by conventional means, and the activity nearly as high. One surprise was the finding that plasma generated PdAg/C catalysts had no apparent activity for 1-butene isomerization. A second surprise was the finding that the plasma treatment did not increase the crystallinity of the carbon but did result in the loss up to 30% of the surface area.

Vectors differ from other abstractions in the diversity of necessary operations, sometimes requiring dozens for a given algorithm (e.g. interior-point methods for optimization). We discuss a new approach based on operator objects that are transported to the underlying data by the linear algebra library implementation, allowing developers of abstract numerical algorithms to easily extend the functionality regardless of computer architecture, application or data locality/organization. Numerical experiments demonstrate efficient implementation.

In this study, the first crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of AqpZ are described. AqpZ was overexpressed and purified with a yield of 13 mg of purified AqpZ per litre of cell culture. The purified AqpZ was shown to be a monodisperse species consisting of tetrameric protein-detergent complexes. A crystallization condition for producing diffraction-quality crystals was identified. Initial X-ray analysis indicated that the diffraction limit of AqpZ extended to 3.6 Å. Crystals were found to belong to space groups P4122 or P4322, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 119.04, c = 380.23 Å.

JO - Advances in Complex Systems JF - Advances in Complex Systems Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 20 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 02195259 AB - In this paper we study phase space relations in a certain class of discrete dynamical systems over graphs. The systems we investigate are called Sequential Dynamical Systems (SDSs), which are a class of dynamical systems that provide a framework for analyzing computer simulations. Specifically, an SDS consists of (i) a finite undirected graph Y with vertex set {1,2,…,n} where each vertex has associated a binary state, (ii) a collection of Y-local functions (Fi,Y)i∈v[Y] with $F_{i,Y}: \mathbb{F}_2^n\to \mathbb{F}_2^n$ and (iii) a permutation π of the vertices of Y. The SDS induced by (i)–(iii) is the map \[ [F_Y,\pi] = F_{\pi(n),Y} \circ \cdots \circ F_{\pi(1),Y}\,. \] The paper is motivated by a general reduction theorem for SDSs which guarantees the existence of a phase space embedding induced by a covering map between the base graphs of two SDSs. We use this theorem to obtain information about phase spaces of certain SDSs over binary hypercubes from the dynamics of SDSs over complete graphs. We also investigate covering maps over binary hypercubes, $Q_2^n$, and circular graphs, Circn. In particular we show that there exists a covering map $\phi: Q_2^n\to K_{n+1}$ if and only if 2n≡0 mod n+1. Furthermore, we provide an interpretation of a class of invertible SDSs over circle graphs as right-shifts of length n-2 over {0,1}2n-2. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of how we can extend a given covering map to a covering map over certain extended graphs.

During the next several decades, a program focused on terrestrial sequestration processes could make a significant contribution to abating CO2 increases. The reclamation of degraded lands, such as mine-spoil sites, highway rights-of-way, and poorly managed lands, represents an opportunity to couple C sequestration with the use of fossil-fuel and energy by-products and other waste material, such as biosolids and organic wastes from human and animal sewage treatment facilities, to improve soil quality. Degraded lands are often characterized by acidic pH, low levels of key nutrients, poor soil structure, and limited moisture-retention capacity. Much is known about the methods to improve these soils, but the cost of implementation is often a limiting factor. However, the additional financial and environmental benefits of C sequestration may change the economics of land reclamation activities. The addition of energy-related by-products can address the adverse conditions of these degraded lands through a variety of mechanisms, such as enhancing plant growth and capturing of organic C in long-lived soil C pools. This review examines the use of fossil-fuel combustion by-products and organic amendments to enhance C sequestration and identifies the key gaps in information that still must be addressed before these methods can be implemented on an environmentally meaningful scale.

The bioluminescence activity of this strain was tested using seven organic compounds and derivatives, including m-toluate. Gene expression was monitored on the basis of the maximum light production of the strain after the addition of the inducer. The magnitude of the bioluminescent response was determined for each compound, revealing the following order: m-methyl benzyl alcohol>m-toluate>toluene>m-xylene>benzoate>p-xylene>o-xylene. Bioluminescence activity of the strain was also determined under different conditions of temperature, medium composition, additional carbon sources, nitrogen and phosphate. These results showed the importance of above conditions on the bioluminescence activity of tested strain. These results demonstrate the capability of such a constructed strain to detect a group of structurally related environmental contaminants and suggest the potential for its use as a rapid field analytical tool.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 38 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 236 EP - 246 SN - 02786826 AB - To determine the airborne emissions that occur when conventional munitions are destroyed by open burn/open detonation (OB/OD), munitions shots were carried out in a large underground (4650 m3) chamber. Carrying out the tests in a chamber allows the total emissions to be measured, which is not possible in openair testing. We report here the development of an instrument to measure the time-dependent mass concentration and aerosol size distribution of respirable aerosols (<10 µm) from detonations of artillery projectiles in the underground chamber. The instrument incorporates an on-line diluter and real-time cascade impactor for aerosol monitoring. Design, flow modeling, construction details, and results from the instrument are given. Particulate emissions from detonations of twenty four 155 mm artillery projectiles, with a total of 377 lbs net explosive weight, were monitored. Aerosol measurements from the two duplicate tests were very similar. Aerosol mass concentrations showed rapid decreases from 37,000 and 65,000 µg/m3 for the first samples for the two tests, 14 and 17 min after detonation, to near 20,000 µg/m3 at 20 min after each detonation. Thereafter the concentration decreased less rapidly to several thousand µg/m3 at 90 min after the detonation. Aerosol mass concentrations peaked in the 0.3-0.6 µm diameter range during the first 30-60 min of sampling and shifted to smaller particles (<0.3 µm) toward the end of the sampling period (90 min) as turbulence decreased in the detonation chamber and large particles settled out. The data were highly reproducible between the two tests, indicating that the instrument performed satisfactorily. The data will be used to help determine the characteristics of dust emitted from OB/OD shots for munitions demilitarization and will provide a baseline for designing future studies to monitor the airborne emissions from full-scale open-air munitions demilitarization tests.

That conclusion was officially accepted by the Russian government following publication of DNA tests that were widely publicized. The published study included no discussion of major forensic discrepancies and the information regarding the burial site and remains included irregularities. Furthermore, its conclusion of Romanov identity was based on molecular behaviour that indicates contamination rather than endogenous DNA. The published claim to have amplified by PCR a 1223 bp region of degraded DNA in a single segment for nine individuals and then to have obtained sequence of PCR products derived from that segment without cloning indicates that the Ekaterinburg samples were contaminated with non-degraded, high molecular weight, 'fresh' DNA. Aim : Noting major violations of standard forensic practices, factual inconsistencies, and molecular behaviours that invalidate the claimed identity, we attempted to replicate the findings of the original DNA study. Subject : We analysed mtDNA extracted from a sample of the relic of Grand Duchess Elisabeth, sister of Empress Alexandra. Results : Among clones of multiple PCR targets and products, we observed no complete mtDNA haplotype matching that reported for Alexandra. The consensus haplotype of Elisabeth differs from that reported for Alexandra at four sites. Conclusion : Considering molecular and forensic inconsistencies, the identity of the Ekaterinburg remains has not been established. Our mtDNA haplotype results for Elisabeth provide yet another line of conflicting evidence regarding the identity of the Ekaterinburg remains.

Comamonas sp. strain DA001 and Acidovorax sp. strain OY-107 were grown and labeled with the vital fluorescent stain TAMRA/SE (5 [and -6]-carboxytetramethylrhodamine, succinimidyl ester) or CFDA/SE (5 [and -6]-carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester). Fluorescently labeled cells and a conservative bromide tracer were introduced into a suboxic superficial aquifer, followed by groundwater collection from down-gradient multilevel samplers. Cells were enumerated in the field by microplate spectrofluorometry, with confirmatory analyses for selected samples done in the laboratory by epifluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and ferrographic capture. There was general agreement in the results from all of the vital-stain-based enumeration methods, with differences ranging from <10% up to 40% for the analysis of identical samples between different tracking methods. Field analysis by microplate spectrofluorometry was robust and efficient, allowing thousands of samples to be analyzed in quadruplicate for both of the injected strains. The near-real-time data acquisition allowed adjustments to the predetermined sampling schedule to be made. The microplate spectrofluorometry data sets for the July 2000 and July 2001 experiments allowed the transport of the injected cells to be related to the site hydrogeology and injection conditions and enabled the assessment of differences in the transport of the two strains. This near-real-time method should prove effective for a number of microbial ecology applications.

Four to six dominant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in 33 to 100 unique SSU rDNA clones (constituting about 40 to 50% of the total number of SSU rDNA clones in the clone library) from the saturated subsurface samples, whereas no dominant OTUs were observed in the unsaturated subsurface sample. Less than 10% of the clones among samples from different depths at the same location were identical, and the proportion of overlapping OTUs was lower for the samples that were vertically far apart than for adjacent samples. In addition, no OTUs were shared between the Abbott’s Pit and Dover samples. The majority of the clones (80%) had sequences that were less than 5% different from those in the current databases. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that most of the bacterial clones were affiliated with members of the Proteobacteria family (90%), gram-positive bacteria (3%), and members of the Acidobacteria family (3%). Principal component analysis revealed that samples from different geographic locations were well separated and that samples from the same location were closely grouped together. In addition, the nonsaturated subsurface samples from Abbott’s Pit clustered together and were well separated from the saturated subsurface soil sample. Finally, the overall diversity of the subsurface samples was much lower than that of the corresponding surface soil samples.

Interest in the phenomena waxed in the 1980s, but models developed at that time remain limited by the lack of both detailed, time-resolved wet deposition pattern measurements for model confirmation and real-time rain data for model execution. Recently, new rain products have become available that can revolutionize real-time use of precipitation scavenging models on the regional scale. We have utilized a 4-km, hourly resolution precipitation data set from the Arkansas Red-Basin River Forecast Center. A standard below-cloud aerosol scavenging model has been modified to incorporate the potentially larger scavenging in heavy rain events. This paper demonstrates the model on a sample rainfall data set. The simulations demonstrate the concentrating effect of rainfall, especially heavy rain, on deposition patterns. Wet deposition played an important role in the simulated fate and transport, removing as much as 70% of the released aerosol.

JO - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences JF - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 61 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 443 EP - 451 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 0706652X AB - Atmospheric testing of thermonuclear devices during the 1950s and 1960s created a global radiocarbon (14C) signal that has provided a useful tracer and chronological marker in oceanic systems and organisms. The bomb-generated 14C signal retained in fish otoliths can be used as a time-specific recorder of the 14C present in ambient seawater, making it a useful tool in age validation of fishes. The goal of this study was to determine 14C in otoliths of the age-validated yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) to establish a reference time series for the coastal waters of southeast Alaska. Radiocarbon values from the first year's growth of 43 yelloweye rockfish otoliths plotted against estimated birth year produced a 14C time series (1940–1990) for these waters. The initial rise of 14C occurred in 1958 and 14C levels rose to peak values (60–70‰) between 1966 and 1971, with a subsequent declining trend through the end of the record in 1990 (–3.2‰). In addition, the 14C data confirmed the longevity of the yelloweye rockfish to a minimum of 44 years and strongly support higher age estimates. This 14C time series will be useful for the interpretation of 14C accreted in biological samples from these waters.

Le signal 14C généré par les explosions et retenu dans les otolithes de poissons peut être utilisé comme un enregistrement de la concentration de 14C dans l'eau de mer ambiante au cours des années; c'est donc un outil intéressant pour la validation de l'âge chez les poissons. L'objectif de notre recherche est de mesurer le 14C dans les otolithes de sébastes aux yeux jaunes (Sebastes ruberrimus) dont la détermination d'âge a été validée dans le but de produire une série chronologique de référence pour les eaux côtières du sud-est de l'Alaska. Un graphique des mesures de radiocarbone de la première année de croissance des otolithes de 43 sébastes aux yeux jaunes en fonction de leur année de naissance estimée fournit une série chronologique du 14C de 1940 à 1990 pour ces eaux. L'augmentation initiale de 14C s'est produite en 1958 avec un maximum (60–70 ‰) entre 1966 et 1971, suivie par une tendance au déclin (–3,2 ‰) jusqu'en 1990 (fin des données). De plus, les données de 14C confirment la longévité des sébastes à yeux jaunes d'un minimum de 44 ans et laissent nettement croire à des estimations encore plus élevées. Cette série chronologique de 14C pourra servir à interpréter les accrétions de 14C dans les échantillons biologiques tirés de ces eaux.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Chaos JF - Chaos Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 78 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 10541500 AB - Many examples of chemical and biological processes take place in large-scale environmental flows. Such flows generate filamental patterns which are often fractal due to the presence of chaos in the underlying advection dynamics. In such processes, hydrodynamical stirring strongly couples into the reactivity of the advected species and might thus make the traditional treatment of the problem through partial differential equations difficult. Here we present a simple approach for the activity in inhomogeneously stirred flows. We show that the fractal patterns serving as skeletons and catalysts lead to a rate equation with a universal form that is independent of the flow, of the particle properties, and of the details of the active process. One aspect of the universality of our approach is that it also applies to reactions among particles of finite size (so-called inertial particles). © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Chromosoma JF - Chromosoma Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 112 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 276 SN - 14320886 AB - Suppressors and enhancers of position effect variegation (PEV) have been linked to the establishment and maintenance of heterochromatin. The presence of centromeres and other inheritance elements in heterochromatic regions suggests that suppressors and enhancers of PEV, Su(var) s and E(var)s [collectively termed Mod(var)s], may be required for chromosome inheritance. In order to test this hypothesis, we screened 59 ethyl methanesulfonate-generated Drosophila Mod(var)s for dominant effects on the partially compromised inheritance of a minichromosome (J21A) missing a portion of the genetically defined centromere. Nearly half of these Mod(var)s significantly increased or decreased the transmission of J21A. Analyses of homozygous mutant larval neuroblasts suggest that these mutations affect cell cycle progression and native chromosome morphology. Five out of six complementation groups tested displayed mitotic abnormalities, including phenotypes such as telomere fusions, overcondensed chromosomes, and low mitotic index. We conclude that Mod(var)s as a group are highly enriched for genes that encode essential inheritance functions. We propose that a primary function of Mod(var)s is to promote chromosome inheritance, and that the gene silencing phenotype associated with PEV may be a secondary consequence of the heterochromatic structures required to carry out these functions.

Since 1940, however, the Greenland coastal stations data have undergone predominantly a cooling trend. At the summit of the Greenland ice sheet the summer average temperature has decreased at the rate of 2.2 °C per decade since the beginning of the measurements in 1987. This suggests that the Greenland ice sheet and coastal regions are not following the current global warming trend. A considerable and rapid warming over all of coastal Greenland occurred in the 1920s when the average annual surface air temperature rose between 2 and 4 °C in less than ten years (at some stations the increase in winter temperature was as high as 6 °C). This rapid warming, at a time when the change in anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases was well below the current level, suggests a high natural variability in the regional climate. High anticorrelations (r = −0.84 to −0.93) between the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) index and Greenland temperature time series suggest a physical connection between these processes. Therefore, the future changes in the NAO and Northern Annular Mode may be of critical consequence to the future temperature forcing of the Greenland ice sheet melt rates.

Visually analyzing large amounts of data produces fatigue and error. Most automated techniques are based on matching of interictal spike templates or predictive filtering of the data and do not explicitly include source localization as part of the analysis. This leads to poor sensitivity versus specificity characteristics. We describe a fully automated method that combines time-series analysis with source localization to detect clusters of focal neuronal current generators within the brain that produce interictal spike activity.Methods: We first use an ICA (independent components analysis) method to decompose the multichannel MEG data and identify those components that exhibit spike-like characteristics. From these detected spikes we then find those whose spatial topographies across the array are consistent with focal neural sources, and determine the foci of equivalent current dipoles and their associated time courses. We then perform a clustering of the localized dipoles based on distance metrics that takes into consideration both their locations and time courses. The final step of refinement consists of retaining only those clusters that are statistically significant. The average locations and time series from significant clusters comprise the final output of our method.Results and Significance: Data were processed from 4 patients with partial focal epilepsy. In all three subjects for whom surgical resection was performed, clusters were found in the vicinity of the resectioned area.Conclusions: The presented procedure is promising and likely to be useful to the physician as a more sensitive, automated and objective method to help in the localization of the interictal spike zone of intractable partial seizures. The final output can be visually verified by neurologists in terms of both the location and distribution of the dipole clusters and their associated time series. Due to the clinical relevance and demonstrated promise of this method, further investigation of this approach is warranted.

The deposited film was amorphous, but underwent two-phase transformations to the perovskite structure as a result of annealing at 700 °C for 1 h. The first transformation was from amorphous to the monoclinic LaCrO4 monazite type compound. The second transformation was from LaCrO4 to orthorhombic LaCrO3 perovskite. As a result of the phase transformation nano-structured self-assembled dendritic structure was formed with the desired perovskite phase. The structural characterization of the film was done by X-ray diffraction, phase shift microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and micro-Raman spectroscopy.

The life histories of each individual animal are modeled separately. The individuals can have the status of residents or wanderers and belong to behaviorally differing groups of juveniles or adults and males or females. Their territory defending and monogamous behavior is taken into consideration. The resource, green vegetation, grows depending on seasonal climatic characteristics and is diminished due to the herbivore''s grazing. Other specifics such as a varying personal energetic level due to feeding and starvation of the individuals, mating preferences, avoidance of competitors, dispersal of juveniles, as a result of site overgrazing, etc., are included in the model. We determined model parameters from real data for the species Microtus ochrogaster (prairie vole). The simulations are done for a case of an enclosed habitat without predators or other species competitors. The goal of the study is to find the relation between size of habitat and population persistence. The experiments with the model show the populations go extinct due to severe overgrazing, but that the length of population persistence depends on the area of the habitat as well as on the presence of fragmentation. Additionally, the total population size of the vole population obtained during the simulations exhibits yearly fluctuations as well as multi-yearly peaks of fluctuations. This dynamics is similar to the one observed in prairie vole field studies. To cite this article: T. Kostova et al., C. R. Biologies 327 (2004).

Les histoires de la vie de chaque animal sont mode´lise´es se´pare´ment. Les individus peuvent avoir le statut de re´sidants ou de nomades et appartiennent a` diffe´rents groupes de comportement, jeunes ou adultes et maˆles ou femelles. Leurs comportements dans les domaines de la de´fense du territoire et de la monogamie sont pris en compte. Les ressources, a` savoir la ve´ge´tation verte, croissent selon les caracte´ristiques climatiques des saisons et sont re´duites en fonction du paˆturage des herbivores. D'autres parame`tres, tels que les variations du niveau d'e´nergie personnelle re´sultant de l'abondance ou de l'absence de nourriture, les pre´fe´rences sexuelles, l'e´vitement de la compe´tition, la dispersion des jeunes re´sultant de paˆturages surexploite´s, etc., sont inclus dans le mode`le. Nous avons de´termine´ les parame`tres du mode`le sur la base de donne´es re´elles pour l'espe`ce Microtus ochrogaster (campagnol des prairies). Les simulations sont faites dans le cas d'un habitat ferme´, sans pre´dateurs ou autres compe´titeurs. Le but de l'e´tude est de trouver la relation entre la taille de l'habitat et la longe´vite´ de la population. Les expe´riences re´alise´es avec le mode`le montrent que les populations s'e´teignent a` cause du manque de paˆturage, mais aussi que la dure´e de vie d'une population de´pend de la surface de l'habitat ainsi que de sa fragmentation. De plus, la taille de la population totale durant la simulation met en e´vidence des fluctuations annuelles ainsi que des pics de fluctuation multi-annuels. Cette dynamique est semblable a` celle observe´e dans les e´tudes concernant Microtus ochrogaster. Pour citer cet article : T. Kostova et al., C. R. Biologies 327 (2004).

Calculations on the crystal were carried out for a triclinic unit cell containing two pentacene molecules. The bandwidths of the valence and conduction bands which determine the charge migration mechanism are found to depend strongly on the crystallographic direction. Along the triclinic reciprocal lattice vectors a* and b* which are orientated approximately perpendicular to the molecular axes the maximal valence (conduction) band width amounts to only 75 (59) meV, even smaller values are obtained for the c* direction parallel to molecular axes. Along the stacking directions a*+b* and a*−b*, however, the maximal valence (conduction) band width is found to reach 145 (260) meV. The value for the conduction band width is larger than estimates for the polaron binding energy but significantly smaller than recent results obtained by semiempirical methods. The single molecule has a HOMO–LUMO gap of about 1.1 eV as deduced from the Kohn–Sham eigenvalue differences. When using the self-consistent field method, which is expected to yield more reliable results, a value of 4.73 eV is obtained. The theoretical value for the band gap in the molecular solid amounts to 1.0 eV at the Γ-point.

For a system whose electrolyte viscosity changes in the course of experiments, such as the above combination of electrode and electrolyte, the mass change per mole of electrons transferred (MPE) of the species on quartz crystals depends on the potential scan rate of CV. Chronoamperometry with a short period is more desirable for the estimation of the MPE of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) because the viscosity-induced frequency change, which hinders the correct MPE estimation, constitutes a small portion of the measured frequency change under this experimental condition.

We developed a spatial model and used a geographic information system (GIS) to identify suitable locations for wetland mitigation sites. The model used six variables to characterize site conditions: hydrology, soils, historic condition, vegetation cover, adjacent vegetation, and land use. For each variable, a set of suitability scores was developed that indicated the wetland establishment potential for different variable states. Composite suitability scores for individual points on the landscape were determined from the weighted geometric mean of suitability scores for each variable at each point. These composite scores were grouped into five classes and mapped as a wetland mitigation suitability surface with a GIS. Sites with high suitability scores were further evaluated using information on the feasibility of site modification and project cost. This modeling approach could be adapted by planners for use in identifying the suitability of locations as wetland mitigation sites at any site or region.

National resource planning at this scale can benefit by the development of integrated impact analysis toolboxes that allow linkage and integration of hydroclimate models, surface and groundwater hydrologic models, economic and environmental impact models and techniques for social impact assessment. Simulation models used in an assessment of climate change impacts on water resources, agriculture and environmental quality in the San Joaquin Basin of California are described in this paper as well as the challenges faced in linking the component models within an impacts assessment toolbox. Results from simulations performed with several of the tools in the impacts assessment toolbox are presented and discussed. After initially attempting model integration with the public domain, GIS-based modeling framework Modular Modeling System/Object User Interface (MMS/OUI), frustration with the framework’s lack of flexibility to handle monthly timestep models prompted development of a common geodatabase to allow linkage of model input and output for the linked simulation models. A GIS-based data browser was also developed that works with both network flow models and makes calls to a model post-processor that shows model output for each selected node in each model network. This data and output browser system is flexible and can readily accommodate future changes in the model network configuration and in the model database.

The model was parameterized using GIS and an array of digital data on weather, oceans, freshwater, vegetation and geo-political boundaries. This version of the BETR model framework includes modification of atmospheric degradation rates by seasonally variable hydroxyl radical concentrations and temperature. Degradation rates in all other compartments vary with seasonally changing temperature. Deposition to the deep ocean has been included as a loss mechanism. A case study was undertaken for α-HCH. Dynamic emission scenarios were estimated for each of the 25 regions. Predicted environmental concentrations showed good agreement with measured values for the northern regions in air, and fresh and oceanic water and with the results from a previous model of global chemical fate. Potential for long-range transport and deposition to the Arctic region was assessed using a Transfer Efficiency combined with estimated emissions. European regions and the Orient including China have a high potential to contribute α-HCH contamination in the Arctic due to high rates of emission in these regions despite low Transfer Efficiencies. Sensitivity analyses reveal that the performance and reliability of the model is strongly influenced by parameters controlling degradation rates.

T1 - Modelling the fate of persistent organic pollutants in Europe: parameterisation of a gridded distribution model JO - Environmental Pollution JF - Environmental Pollution Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 128 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 251 SN - 02697491 AB - A regionally segmented multimedia fate model for the European continent is described together with an illustrative steady-state case study examining the fate of γ-HCH (lindane) based on 1998 emission data. The study builds on the regionally segmented BETR North America model structure and describes the regional segmentation and parameterisation for Europe. The European continent is described by a 5°×5° grid, leading to 50 regions together with four perimetric boxes representing regions buffering the European environment. Each zone comprises seven compartments including; upper and lower atmosphere, soil, vegetation, fresh water and sediment and coastal water. Inter-regions flows of air and water are described, exploiting information originating from GIS databases and other georeferenced data. The model is primarily designed to describe the fate of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) within the European environment by examining chemical partitioning and degradation in each region, and inter-region transport either under steady-state conditions or fully dynamically. A test case scenario is presented which examines the fate of estimated spatially resolved atmospheric emissions of lindane throughout Europe within the lower atmosphere and surface soil compartments. In accordance with the predominant wind direction in Europe, the model predicts high concentrations close to the major sources as well as towards Central and Northeast regions. Elevated soil concentrations in Scandinavian soils provide further evidence of the potential of increased scavenging by forests and subsequent accumulation by organic-rich terrestrial surfaces. Initial model predictions have revealed a factor of 5–10 underestimation of lindane concentrations in the atmosphere. This is explained by an underestimation of source strength and/or an underestimation of European background levels. The model presented can further be used to predict deposition fluxes and chemical inventories, and it can also be adapted to provide characteristic travel distances and overall environmental persistence, which can be compared with other long-range transport prediction methods.

A five-step procedure is discussed to determine the cause of water toxicity problems and to determine appropriate environmental management practices. With this approach, an upstream electrical transfer station was identified as the probable source of herbicides causing the toxicity. In addition, an analytical solution for solute transport in overland flow was used to estimate the application level of 40 kg/ha. Finally, this source investigation demonstrates that pesticides can affect stream water quality, regardless of application within levels suggested on manufacturer labels. Environmental managers need to ensure that pesticides that could harm aquatic organisms (including algae) not be used near streams or storm drainage areas, and that application timing should be considered for environmental protection.

However, the nature of plume pH neutralization has not previously been understood. As a master geochemical variable, pH needs to be understood in order to predict the fate and transport of contaminants carried by the waste plumes. Through this laboratory study, we found that the plume pH values spanned a broad range from 14 (within the near-source region) down to the value of 7 (lower than the pH value of the initial soil solution) while the plume was still connected to an actively leaking source. We defined two zones within a plume: the silicate dissolution zone (SDZ, pH 14-10) and the neutralized zone (NZ, pH 10-7). Quartz dissolution at elevated temperature and precipitation of secondary silicates (including sodium metasilicate, cancrinite, and zeolites) are the key reactions responsible for the pH neutralization within the SDZ. The rapid and thorough cation exchange of Na+ replacing Ca2+/Mg2+- combined with transport, resulted in a dynamic Ca2+/Mg2+- enriched plume front Subsequent precipitation of calcite, sodium silicate, and possibly talc led to dramatically reduced pH within the plume front and the neutralized zone. During aging (after the plume source became inactive), continued quartz dissolution and the secondary silicate precipitation drove the pH value lower, toward pH 11 at equilibrium within the SDZ, whereas the pH values in the NZ remained relatively unchanged with time. A pH profile of 11 from the plume source to pH 7 at the plume front is expected for a historical plume. This laboratory- based study provided realistic plume pH profiles (consistent with that measured from borehole samples) and identified underlying mechanisms responsible for pH evolution.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/03//3/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1480 EP - 1486 SN - 0013936X AB - A durable titanate ceramic waste form (Synroc) with pyrochlore (Ca(U,Pu)Ti2O7) and zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) as major crystalline phases has been considered to be a candidate for immobilizing various high-level wastes containing fissile elements (239Pu and 235U). Transmission electron microscopy study of a sintered ceramic with stoichiometry of Ca(U0.5Ce0.25Hf0.25)Ti2O7 shows the material contains both pyrochlore and zirconolite phases and structural intergrowth of zirconolite lamellae within pyrochlore. The (001) plane of zirconolite is parallel to the (111) plane of pyrochlore because of their structural similarities. The pyrochlore is relatively rich in U, Ce, and Ca with respect to the coexisting zirconolite. Average compositions for the coexisting pyrochlore and zirconolite at 1350 °C are Ca0.01 (Ce3+0.13Ce4+0.19U0.52Hf0.18)(Ti1.95Hf0.05)O7 (with U/(U + Hf) = 0.72) and (Ca0.91Ce0.09)(Ce3+0.08U0.26Hf0.66Ti0.01)- Ti2.00O7 (with U/(U + Hf) = 0.28), respectively. A single pyrochlore (Ca(U,Hf)Ti2O7) phase may be synthesized at 1350 °C if the ratio of U/(U + Hf) is greater than 0.72, and a single zirconolite (Ca(Hf,U)Ti2O7) phase may be synthesized at 1350 °C if the ratio of U/(U + Hf) is less than 0.28. The synthesized products were used for dissolution tests. The single-pass flow-through dissolution tests show that the dissolution of the U-bearing pyrochlore is incongruent All the elements are released at differing rates. The dissolution data also show a decrease in rate with run time. The results indicate that a diffusion-controlled process may play a key role during the release of U. TEM observation of the leached pyrochlore directly proves that an amorphous leached layer that is rich in Ti and Hf formed on the surface after the ceramic was leached in pH 4 buffered solution for 835 days.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 798 EP - 811 SN - 07307268 AB - Many contaminant releases to the terrestrial environment are of small areal extent. Thus, rather than evaluating the ecological impact on species in the immediate vicinity of the release, it may be more ecologically meaningful to determine if population impacts occur at the landscape level. In order to do this, the cumulative impact of all releases in the landscape under consideration must be evaluated. If the release sites are viewed as localized areas that are no longer available for use by ecological receptors (i.e., no longer part of the habitat), this can be thought of as a form of habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation is typically viewed as the loss of large areas of habitat within a landscape, leaving small isolated patches of intact habitat within a hostile matrix. Small-scale contaminant releases, on the other hand, result in small uninhabitable areas within a primarily intact habitat. With this consideration in mind, we analyzed the wildlife and conservation biology literature to determine if information on habitat size requirements such as home-range or critical patch size could inform us about the potential for impact at the landscape level from release sites based on the size of the release alone. We determined that evaluating the impact of release size had to be conducted within a contextual basis (considering the existing state of the landscape). Therefore, we also reviewed the population modeling literature to determine if models could be developed to further evaluate the impact of the spatial extent of chemical releases on the landscape. We identified individual-based models linked to geographic information systems to have the greatest potential in investigating the role of release size with respect to population impacts at the landscape level.

Recently our research team has explored the relative importance of various levels of chemodescriptors, i.e. topostructural (TS), topochemical (TC), geometrical (3D), and quantum theoretical descriptors, in property estimation. This study examines the contribution of chemodescriptors ranging from topostructural to quantum theoretic calculations, up to the Gaussian STO-3G level, in predicting the results of six indicators of oxidative stress for a set of 20 halocarbons. Using quantum theoretical calculations in this study is of particular interest as molecular energetics is related to the likelihood of electron attachment and free radical formation, the mechanism of toxicity for these chemicals and should aid in modeling their potential for oxidative stress.

Significant unitarity checks are so far possible for the first row of this matrix. This article reviews the experimental and theoretical information on these matrix elements. On the experimental side, we find a 2.2 σ to 2.7 s deviation from unitarity, which conflicts with the Standard Model.

These glial cells of the sensory ganglia in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprise satellite cells (SCs) and, to a lesser extent, Schwann cells. SCs proliferate in response to trauma such as axotomy; however, the half-life of these glial cells under normal circumstances has not been estimated. To estimate the half-life of sensory ganglionic glial cells, we employed the DNA precursor analog 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) to measure the rate of turnover of these cells. BrdU was administered to inbred C57BL6 and outbred Swiss white mice via their drinking water. BrdU incorporation into ganglionic glia in the PNS was estimated by immunofluorescent staining of nervous tissue sections, and the fraction of ganglionic glial cells that acquired BrdU label was measured as a function of time. Mathematical modeling of the rate of uptake of BrdU into murine ganglionic glia enables calculation of the half-life of these cells. The kinetics of BrdU uptake is linear, consistent with ganglionic glia being a homogenous population. The value of the proliferation rate (p) plus death rate (d) derived from the slope of BrdU uptake as a function of time is approximately 2.4 × 10−3 cells per day. Assuming that p = d (because ganglionic glial numbers are in equilibrium and they are assumed to neither emigrate from, or immigrate into, sensory ganglia), then the daily death rate is d = 1.2 × 10−3 cells/day, which implies a half-life for ganglionic glia of about 600 days. Thus murine ganglionic glia in the untraumatized state appear to behave as a homogenous, slowly replicating population.

The high resolution (400% enhancement over conventional MAS) was obtained by utilizing single crystals. All four oxygens were clearly shown to be chemically different at T < TC. The peak assignment was supported by quantum theoretical calculations of the 17O isotropic chemical shifts using a pentamer model of the crystal structure. There was a clear break in the isotropic part of the chemical shift on lowering the temperature through TC, implying that the phase transition involves a distortion of the whole H2C4O4 framework, and not just the order-disorder rearrangement of the H's i.e., future models of the transition should include a displacive component, in addition to an order-disorder part.

JO - Geological Society of America Bulletin JF - Geological Society of America Bulletin Y1 - 2004/03//Mar/Apr2004 VL - 116 IS - 3-4 M3 - Article SP - 394 EP - 406 SN - 00167606 AB - Several giant ice avalanches were initiated by slope failure from ice caps due to strong ground motion during the 14 November 2001 Mw = 7.9 Kokoxili earthquake on the Kunlun fault. Four ice avalanches were identified on the north slope of the Burhan Budai Shan several kilometers east of the Kunlun Pass, and two were identified on the south slope of the eastern Yuxi Feng, which is ∼50 km west of the Kunlun Pass. These ice avalanches originated from steep-sided ice caps and progressed over and past the termini of outlet valley glaciers. In the Burhan Budai Shan, the ice avalanches comprised ice and snow that reached 2-3 km down valley beyond the snouts of the contemporary glaciers. Detailed study of the largest ice avalanche (B2) shows that the initial movement over the contemporary glacier was turbulent in nature, having a velocity >35 ms-1. Beyond the contemporary glacier, the ice avalanche was confined within steep valley walls and entrenched paraglacial fans. Before coming to rest, this ice avalanche moved as a Bing- ham plastic flow at a velocity of ≤21 ms-1. These ice avalanches transported little rock debris, and it is thus unlikely that they are important in contributing to the landscape evolution of this region. Yet, given the appropriate geologic and climatic conditions, ice avalanching may be an important process in the landscape evolution of high mountainous terrains. The frequency of such events is unknown, but such phenomena may become more common in the future as a consequence of increased glacier and slope instability caused by humaninduced climate change. Ice avalanches, therefore, likely constitute a significant geologic hazard in the near future.

Rapid incision of ∼0.2 mm/yr from 2.7 to ca. 1.5 Ma slowed markedly to ∼0.03 mm/yr thereafter, likely reflecting the combined effects of a transient erosional response to Pliocene rock uplift and periodic mantling of riverbeds with glacially derived sediment in the late Quaternary. While ∼400 m of incision has occurred in the past 2.7 m.y., outpacing interfluve erosion and thereby increasing the local relief, canyons as deep as 1.6 km existed prior to that time. These new erosion rates strengthen the case for tectonically driven late Cenozoic uplift.

JO - Geophysical Journal International JF - Geophysical Journal International Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 156 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 483 EP - 496 SN - 0956540X AB - We establish reliable and conservative estimates for epicentre location accuracy using data that are readily available in published seismic bulletins. A large variety of seismic studies rely on catalogues of event locations, making proper assessment of location uncertainty critical. Event location and uncertainty parameters in most global, regional and national earthquake catalogues are obtained from traditional linearized inversion methods using a 1-D Earth model to predict traveltimes. Reported catalogue uncertainties are based on the assumption that error processes are Gaussian, zero mean and uncorrelated. Unfortunately, these assumptions are commonly violated, leading to the underestimation of true location uncertainty, especially at high confidence levels. We find that catalogue location accuracy is most reliably estimated by station geometry. We make use of two explosions with exactly known epicentres to develop local network location (0°–2.5°) accuracy criteria. Using Monte Carlo simulations of network geometry, we find that local network locations are accurate to within 5 km with a 95 per cent confidence level when the network meets the following criteria: (1) there are 10 or more stations, all within 250 km, (2) an azimuthal gap of less than 110°, (3) a secondary azimuthal gap of less than 160° and (4) at least one station within 30 km. To derive location accuracy criteria for near-regional (2.5°–10°), regional (2.5°–20°) and teleseismic (28°–91°) networks, we use a large data set of exceptionally well-located earthquakes and nuclear explosions. Beyond local distances, we find that the secondary azimuthal gap is sufficient to constrain epicentre accuracy, and location error increases when the secondary azimuthal gap exceeds 120°. When station coverage meets the criterion of a secondary azimuth gap of less than 120°, near-regional networks provide 20 km accuracy at the 90 per cent confidence level, while regional and teleseismic networks provide 25 km accuracy at the 90 per cent confidence level.

The simulations with prescribed SSTs and sea ice are available from the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP), and coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations are available from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). We compare CMIP runs from two coupled models sharing a common atmosphere component (but different ocean components) with the atmosphere component''s AMIP run. All three simulations have similar errors that presumably originate in the atmosphere component. Replacing the observed SSTs and sea ice amounts in the AMIP simulation with the interactive submodels used in the CMIP simulations tends to degrade the level of agreement with climate observations. Increases in root-mean-square (RMS) errors, however, are mostly less than 30% and often less than 10% of the magnitude of natural climate variations. Exceptions to this rule occur mainly in the tropics, most notably for geopotential height at 500 hPa and for temperature near the tropopause. These variables show increases in RMS errors that are comparable to observational standard deviations. The coupled model simulations are taken from the end of 300 year control runs without flux “corrections” at the ocean-atmosphere interface. Their similarity to results from the prescribed SST atmosphere model implies that modern coupled models can maintain stable multicentury simulations without flux adjustments.

Geochemical tracer techniques including stable isotopes of water, tritium/helium-3 (T/3;He) dating, and deliberate gas tracer experiments are ideally suited for these investigations. These tracers were used to evaluate flow near an artificial recharge site in northern Orange County, California, where ∼2.5 x 108 m³ (200,000 acre-feet) of water are recharged annually. T/³He ages show that most of the relatively shallow ground water within 3 km of the recharge facilities have apparent ages < 2 years; further downgradient apparent ages increase, reaching > 20 years at ∼6 km. Gas tracer experiments using sulfur hexafluoride and xenon isotopes were conducted from the Santa Ana River and two spreading basins. These tracers were followed in the ground water for more than two years, allowing subsurface flow patterns and flow times to be quantified. Results demonstrate that mean horizontal ground water velocities range from < 1 to > 4 km/year. The leading edges of the tracer patch moved at velocities about twice as fast as the center of mass. Leading edge velocities are important when considering the potential transport of microbes and other "time sensitive" contaminants and cannot be determined easily with other methods. T/3; He apparent ages and tracer travel times agreed within the analytical uncertainty at 16 of 19 narrow screened monitoring wells. By combining these techniques, ground water flow was imaged with time scales on the order of weeks to decades.

The compression factors of the dynamic and static techniques are multiplied. This approach allows access to a family of Hugoniot curves which span the P-T phase diagram of fluid hydrogen to high density. In this first-of-its-kind experiment, two hydrogen Hugoniot curves have been partially followed starting from pre-compression at pressures of 0.7 GPa and 1.2 GPa. Optical reflectance probing at two wavelengths reveals the onset of the conducting fluid state. The boundary line to conducting fluid hydrogen is suggested.

Studies are carried out with specially tailored diamond anvils and diamond anvil cells, reaching pressures beyond 100 GPa. From our studies, we can investigate the most basic phenomenon of the quantum effect of magnetism in insulating antiferromagnets, the Mott insulators, such as high to low spin crossovers, quenching of the magnetic moments' orbital term, and the collapse of the Mott-Hubbard state. Examples of these phenomena will be given in cases of ferrous and ferric oxides, ferrous-halides and the rare-earth iron perovskites.

It is quite likely that all these fluids are monatomic or very nearly so. For N, O, and H, these NMM transitions occur under quasi-isentropic compression to ∼100 GPa (1 Mbar) pressures and densities of ∼10 times initial liquid density in the case of H. These conditions were achieved with a two-stage gun. In the cases of Cs and Rb, these transitions occur at only ∼0.01 GPa in the expanded fluid at 2000 K. These NMM transitions are Mott transitions. The values of the minimum metallic conductivities are essentially the same for all five because minimum metallic conductivity depends weakly on density of metallization and number of conduction electrons per atom. In contrast, the density dependences of the semiconductivities are very different. In the spirit of Mott, quantum mechanical wave functions of the free atoms are used to estimate the densities at which semiconductivies are appreciable. The radial extents of the charge-density distributions are well correlated with the Mott-scaled density dependences of the semiconductivities. These radial extents depend on the degree to which the filled-electron core screens the valence electron(s) from the nuclear Coulomb force. This simple picture gives a qualitative explanation for the density dependences of the semiconductivities of all five and for the Herzfeld criterion, which predates quantum mechanics.

Numerical calculus using these representations produces fast O (N )methods for multiscale solution of integral equations when combined with low separation rank methods. Using this formulation, we compute the Hilbert transform and solve the Poisson and Schrödinger equations. For a fixed order of multiwavelets and for arbitrary but finite-precision computations, the computational complexity is O (N ). The computational structures are similar to fast multipole methods but are more generic in yielding fast O (N )algorithm development.

This system utilizes low-frequency electromagnetic radiation and high-temperature superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) as receivers. The system is primarily used to communicate in underground areas using through-the-earth electromagnetic waves. The underground areas are typically mines, but the application is not restricted to that purpose. The communication channel is being used to send voice that has been digitally compressed. Typical rock masses do not allow conventional radio frequency electromagnetic waves to penetrate significant distances. Here, the authors use carrier frequencies of a few kilohertz that penetrate hundreds of meters into rock masses. They are using low-noise broadband superconducting receivers and have established that the signals propagate several hundred meters with modest power levels. Audio has been successfully received at distances in excess of 100 m through solid rock.

In this brief, we investigate the diffusion capacitance of a diode, as a function of the physical length of the diode and the carrier lifetimes in the narrow active region. We show that diode length and lifetime together, and not just the lifetime (which is well known), determine the bandwidth of the diode.

To explore the full potential of Bayesian reconstruction for lesion detection, we derive simplified theoretical expressions that allow fast evaluation of the delectability of a lesion in Bayesian reconstruction. This work is builded on the recent progress on the theoretical analysis of image properties of statistical reconstructions and the development of numerical observers. We explicitly model the nonstationary variation of the lesion and background without assuming that they are locally stationary. The results can be used to choose the optimum prior parameters for the maximum lesion detectability. The theoretical results are validated using Monte Carlo simulations. The comparisons show good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the Monte Carlo results. We also demonstrate that the lesion detectability can be reliably estimated using one noisy data set.

Rotor position information is extracted by Indirectly sensing. the back EMF from only one of the three motor-terminal voltages for a three-phase motor. Depending on the terminal voltage sensing locations, either a low-pass filter or a band-pass filter is used for, position information retrieval. This leads to a significant reduction in the component count of the sensing circuit. The cost saving is further increased by coupling the sensing circuit with a single-chip microprocessor or digital signal processor for speed control. In addition, a look-up-tabIe-based correction for the nonideal phase delay introduced by the filter is suggested to ensure accurate position detection even at low speed. This extends the operating speed range and improves motor efficiency. Experimental results are included to verify the proposed scheme.

This passive soft-switching snubber (PSSS) employs a diode/capacitor snubber circuit for each switching device in an inverter to provide low dv/dt and low switching losses to the device. The PSSS further was a transformer-based energy regenerative circuit to recover the energy captured in the snubber capacitors. All components in the PSSS circuit are passive, thus leading to reliable and low-cost advantages over those soft-switching schemes relying on additional active switches. The snubber has been incorporated into a 150 kVA PWM inverter. Simulation and experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity and features of the snubber circuit.

SN - 02683768 AB - Laser-material interactions consist of complex, and generally short-lived, but intense events. Hence, many important aspects and effects of these interactions are not directly measurable, such as temperature distributions within the material. In the present study, the effect of temperature distribution on the residual stresses developed during laser surface engineering of ceramic composite coating on metal has been investigated. Infrared thermography technique has been employed as a means to measure the temperature distribution within the substrate while the laser beam is directed at the surface of the coating. Temperature distribution is generally a function of the laser input parameters, such as the laser beam power and the traverse velocity of the beam. Hence, variation in the temperature distribution and the consequent stresses developed within the composite coating due to the changing input parameters have also been investigated. The rapid processing in complement with precise control of the process based on in-situ thermographic measurements provides numerous opportunities for a high power laser as a advanced manufacturing tool.

Some global stability results as well as the boundedness of solutions are derived by using a suitably defined Lyapunov functional. We show the existence of both supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcations. We demonstrate that the number of all bifurcation diagrams is 8 but that the possible sequential occurrences of bifurcation events is much richer. We present a numerical study of an example exhibiting a series of various bifurcations, including subcritical Hopf bifurcations, homoclinic bifurcations and saddle-node bifurcations of equilibria and of periodic solutions. Finally, we study periodically forced FH–N equations. We prove that phase-locking occurs independently of the magnitude of the periodic forcing.

Upon regarding local elastic and plastic deformation gradients within the crystal as continuously differentiable fields, we arrive at a three-term multiplicative decomposition for the volume-averaged deformation gradient, consisting of a recoverable elastic term associated with the average applied stress and average lattice rotation, an inelastic term associated with the average plastic velocity gradient, and a (new) third term reflecting the presence of the residual microelastic deformation gradient within the volume and providing a representation of the kinematics of grain subdivision via formation of low-angle subgrain boundaries, for example. A variant of the classical Eshelby stress tensor provides the driving force for homogenized viscoplastic flow, with slip resistances dictated by densities of geometrically necessary and statistically stored dislocations. Distinctive features of the continuum model include coupling of internal elastic strain energy densities associated with residual and applied stresses, dependency of the single crystalline effective elastic moduli upon evolution of lattice substructure, and a characteristic length potentially based upon both the size of the crystal element used in volume averaging and the grain subdivision measure.

Large stationary sources that include coal-based electric generating stations are plausible targets for the removal of CO2. Chemical absorption of CO2 is viewed as one option that could be applicable for its separation from both fuel gas and flue gas streams. Processes based on solid regenerable sorbents that efficiently absorb CO2 and release it in concentrated form have the potential to be cost-effective relative to solvent-based practices. This communication summarises a preliminary investigation exploring the reaction of CO2 with a number of calcium-based sorbents using a thermogravimetric (TG) analyser. Upon reaction at high temperature with pure CO2, these materials are converted into metal carbonates. Thermal regeneration of the sorbents was accomplished upon heating spent materials to higher temperature in a nitrogen stream. TG studies show the absorption reaction for Ca-based materials was initially rapid and then entered into a slower kinetic regime. Multi-cycle testing conducted within the TG analyser indicated sorbents could be regenerated and reused. Theoretical conversions ranging from 50-75% were observed for the calcium/zirconia sorbents in comparison to 15-20% for the calcium/lanthanum-doped alumina sorbent. Improved conversion was attributed to the pore size differential between mesoporous zirconia and microporous lanthanum-alumina. TG studies performed at 500°C with lithium zirconate show that the rate of CO2 absorption was continuous with time on stream. Under nitrogen, rapid regeneration of the lithium carbonate product occurred at temperatures greater than 700°C.

The resulting amine-enriched silicon sorbent (SBA-15) has been proven to be competitive with existing environmental CO2 controlled life sorbents based on the immobilised amine technology. XPS analysis has indicated that the amine groups (N1s Peak) were incorporated onto the surfaces of this amine-based sorbent in the range of 7%. The performance of the SBA-15 was comparable to the commercially available immobilised amine sorbent (IAS).

An experimental procedure was developed for the laboratory simulation of slurry injection. A true-triaxial vessel, which applied realistic, three-dimensional stress conditions, was used to perform slurry injection into Berea sandstone. Under anisotropic horizontal stress conditions, vertical hydraulic fractures initiated and propagated in the direction of the maximum horizontal stress. Under isotropic horizontal stress conditions, multiple vertical fractures were induced and propagated in random orientation. A computationally efficient numerical model based on the discrete element method (DEM) is described and applied to simulate various wellbore phenomena. Radially graded, two-dimensional DEM models of the near-wellbore region were created of bonded disk elements. Source DEM elements were used to simulate fluid pressurization of the model borehole. The structural damage in the DEM models was analyzed using histograms of the angular distribution of bond damage. Results obtained for various stress states showed qualitative reproduction of the gross failure mechanisms associated with both hydraulic fracturing and borehole breakout.

Biomass gasification, achieved through the periodic combustion and pyrolysis of solid organic waste (under anaerobic conditions), results in a “producer-gas” stream consisting predominantly of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This producer gas is typically used as a fuel in high temperature combustion. In the modified process, the producer gas is used to generate electricity using a combination of high-temperature (Solid oxide) and low-temperature (Proton exchange membrane) fuel cells. Carbon monoxide is reformed to additional H2 using a biological system; an anaerobic bacterium, Rubrivivax gelatinosus CBS that can enzymatically convert CO and H2O into CO2 and H2. R. gelatinosus CBS can also sequester CO2 as biomass. While the heating value does not vary significantly between the two streams, we propose that a larger hydrogen fraction can increase the value of this fuel, especially in the context of fuel cell applications.

Hydrogen production rates were investigated as a function of temperature, water partial pressure, membrane thickness, and oxygen chemical potential gradient across the membranes. The hydrogen production rate increased with both increasing moisture concentration and oxygen chemical potential gradient. A hydrogen production rate of 6 cm3(STP)/min cm2 was measured with a 0.10-mm-thick membrane at 900°C and 50 vol% water vapor on one side of the membrane and 80% hydrogen (balance helium) on the other side. Hydrogen was used as a model gas on one side of the membrane to establish a high oxygen potential gradient; however, another reducing gas, methane, was substituted in one experiment to maintain the high oxygen potential gradient. The hydrogen production rate increased with decreasing membrane thickness, but surface kinetics played an important role as membrane thickness decreased.

This research investigates the effect of spark on-time duration and spark on-time ratio, two important EDM process parameters, on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface integrity of four types of advanced material: porous metal foams, metal bond diamond grinding wheels, sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets, and carbon–carbon bipolar plates. An experimental procedure was developed. During the wire EDM, five types of constraints on the MRR due to short circuit, wire breakage, machine slide speed limit, and spark on-time upper and lower limits are identified. An envelope of feasible EDM process parameters is generated for each work-material. Applications of such a process envelope to select process parameters for maximum MRR and for machining of micro features are discussed. Results of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis of surface integrity are presented.

The strength of the model, when combined with an atomistic simulation for dislocation core properties, is without suffering from the uncertainties associated with empirical potentials. Therefore, this method is particularly useful in providing insight into alloy design when empirical potentials are not available or not reliable for such multi-element systems. The model is applied to study the external stress assisted dislocation cross-slip and constriction process in two fcc metals, Al and Ag, exhibiting different deformation properties. We find that the screw dislocation in Al can cross-slip spontaneously in contrast with that in Ag, where the screw dislocation splits into two partials that cannot cross-slip without first being constricted. The dislocation response to an external stress is examined in detail. The dislocation constriction energy and the critical stress for cross-slip are determined, and from the latter, we estimate the cross-slip energy barrier for straight screw dislocations.

The simulated wind components were transformed into radial velocities to make a direct comparison with about 1.3 million Doppler lidar data points and to evaluate critically the spatial variations in the simulated wind fields aloft. The mesoscale model captured reasonably well the general features of the observed circulations, including the daytime up-valley flow; the nighttime slope, canyon, and down-valley flows; and the convergence of the flows over the valley. When there were errors in the simulated wind fields, they were usually associated with the timing, structure, or strength of specific flows. The simulated flow reversal during the evening transition period produced ascending motions over much of the valley atmosphere in the absence of significant ambient winds. Valley-mean vertical velocities became nearly zero as down-valley flow developed, but vertical velocities between 5 and 15 cm s[sup -1] occurred where downslope, canyon, and down-valley flows converged, and vertical velocities greater than 50 cm s[sup -1] were produced by hydraulic jumps. A fraction of tracer released at the surface was transported up to the height of the surrounding mountains; however, higher concentrations were produced aloft for evenings characterized by well-developed drainage circulations. Simulations with and without vertical motions in the particle model produced large differences in the tracer concentrations at specific locations and times, but the amount of tracer moving out of the valley atmosphere differed by only 5% or less. Despite the stability, turbulence produced by vertical wind shears mixed particles several hundred meters above the surface stable layer for the particle model simulation without vertical motions.

However, after annealing in the MOCVD reactor at a temperature of 650 °C, p-type GaInNAs sometimes converts to n type with an electron concentration of ∼10[sup 17] cm[sup -3]. This n-type material has a slightly higher electron mobility (∼400–450 cm2/V s) than has usually been reported for 1 eV GaInNAs. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy shows significant hydrogen and some carbon contamination of these layers. The type conversion is correlated with both the nitrogen and hydrogen concentration and is relatively insensitive to the choice of growth precursors (trimethylgallium versus triethylgallium, or unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine versus nitrogen trifluoride). The data are consistent with theoretical predictions that the donors arise from a N–H complex. Annealing in the absence of hydrogen reduces the background acceptor concentration, but does not produce an electron concentration as high as 10[sup 17] cm[sup -3]. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

However, the syntheses of these super materials have required extreme conditions. Recent synthetic developments surrounding catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) have contributed to more suitable, practical and economical preparations, but more progress is needed for better selectivity, purity, and mass production of CNTs and diamonds. Such synthetic advancements require a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of formation on the atomic scale. A recent comprehensive mechanism of Little suggests the importance of high-spin electronic states and the rehybridization mechanics of carbon atoms and metal atoms (for catalytic synthesis) during the nucleation and growth of CNTs and diamonds. The significance of these predictions is demonstrated in this work by using an intense, static magnetic field of several teslas to influence carbon fixation events during carbon CCVD. Single crystalline diamonds are discovered to nucleate and grow under the influence of the static magnetic field (19.3 T) under catalytic CVD conditions that normally result in carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, this technique results in a bottom-up approach for creating diamond nucleation sites on the basis of a so-called chemical preabrasion of the silicon substrate with the potential advantage of the control of seeding nucleation-site density and nonrandom patterning for larger single crystal diamond syntheses. This technique also provides a basis for diamond–CNT composite super materials. Moreover, the observed influence of high magnetic field on diamond formation provides implications concerning natural diamond genesis in the earth’s mantle and core in comparison to celestial diamond formation. Furthermore, these findings suggest uses of polarized and nonpolarized neutron irradiation for static and dynamic magnetic interactions, leading to diamond and CNT productivity, respectively. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The damage accumulation behavior at each irradiation temperature indicates that the relative disorder on the O sublattice is higher than that on the Sm sublattice, and the relative disorder, determined by ion channeling, on each sublattice follows a nonlinear dependence on dose that is well described by a disorder accumulation model. While there is little difference in damage accumulation behavior on the Sm sublattice at 170 and 300 K irradiation, the rate of damage accumulation decreases dramatically at 700 K due to dynamic recovery processes. The critical dose for amorphization at 170 and 300 K is 0.14 displacements per atom (dpa), and a higher dose of 0.22 dpa is observed under irradiation at 700 K. During thermal annealing in an [sup 18]O environment, a significant increase in the [sup 18]O exchange was observed between 800 and 900 K, which is just below the previously determined critical temperature, 950 K, for amorphization in Sm[sub 2]Ti[sub 2]O[sub 7], suggesting that the mobility of O vacancies may be important in defining the critical temperature. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

To achieve successful de novo motif detection, it is necessary to model the complex dependencies within and among motifs and to incorporate biological prior knowledge. In this paper, we present LOGOS, an integrated LOcal and GlObal motif Sequence model for biopolymer sequences, which provides a principled framework for developing, modularizing, extending and computing expressive motif models for complex biopolymer sequence analysis. LOGOS consists of two interacting submodels: HMDM, a local alignment model capturing biological prior knowledge and positional dependency within the motif local structure; and HMM, a global motif distribution model modeling frequencies and dependencies of motif occurrences. Model parameters can be fit using training motifs within an empirical Bayesian framework. A variational EM algorithm is developed for de novo motif detection. LOGOS improves over existing models that ignore biological priors and dependencies in motif structures and motif occurrences, and demonstrates superior performance on both semi-realistic test data and cis-regulatory sequences from yeast and Drosophila genomes with regard to sensitivity, specificity, flexibility and extensibility.

Three primary channels were observed. Two C–Cl fission channels occur, one producing fragments with high kinetic recoil energies and the other producing fragments with low translational energies. These channels produced nascent CH[sub 2]CHCO radicals with internal energies ranging from 23 to 66 kcal/mol for the high-translational-energy channel and from 50 to 68 kcal/mol for the low-translational-energy channel. We found that all nascent CH[sub 2]CHCO radicals were unstable to CH[sub 2]CH+CO formation, in agreement with the G3//B3LYP barrier height of 22.4 kcal/mol to within experimental and computational uncertainties. The third primary channel is HCl elimination. All of the nascent CH[sub 2]CCO coproducts were found to have enough internal energy to dissociate, producing CH[sub 2]C:+CO, in qualitative agreement with the G3//B3LYP barrier of 39.5 kcal/mol. We derive from the experimental results an upper limit of 23±3 kcal/mol for the zero-point-corrected barrier to the unimolecular dissociation of the CH[sub 2]CHCO radical to form CH[sub 2]CH+CO. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Annual mean Δ[sup 14] C has a dynamic range of nearly 175‰, with a total range of nearly 200‰. Prebomb values average -56‰ and the annual mean postbomb maxima occurs in 1985 with a value of +117%. Interannual variability in the record reflects surface current variations in conjunction with surface wind changes associated with ENSO. During El Niño years the waters of the Solomon Sea reflect a stronger influence of waters advected in from the east by the SEC and less “pure” subtropical water. This is most likely accomplished by a southward shift of the equatorward branch of the SEC during El Niño. There is an overall decrease in the relative proportion of eastern tropical water that is interpreted as a decrease in the strength and intensity of the shallow circulation of the tropical Pacific during the latter portion of the twentieth century. If validated, this secular trend bears strongly upon the rate of extratropical–tropical recirculation and the redistribution of heat and salt within the tropical Pacific.

JO - Journal of Composite Materials JF - Journal of Composite Materials Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 38 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 417 EP - 433 SN - 00219983 AB - Micro Raman spectroscopy (MRS) was used to monitor the change in the local stress concentrations surrounding a single fiber break in 2-dimensional graphite fiber/epoxy composites during creep at room temperature and elevated temperatures up to 80°C. The experimental results were compared with a few shear-lag-based multi fiber composite models: Hedgepeth, which assumes perfect bonding between the linear elastic fiber and shear-only matrix: MSSL, which additionally accounts for the axial stiffness of the matrix: and VBI, which assumes a viscoelastic shear-only matrix Instead of assuming time-independent stress concentrations around a fiber break as in previous models, this work investigated the change in the stress concentrations due to the local matrix creep. The VBI model uses parameters measured from unreinforced matrix creep tests to predict the time dependent strain-stress evolution in the composite around fiber breaks. The stress concentrations of the nearby intact fibers were found to change due to the combined effects of temperature sensitive matrix creep and creep-driven inelastic zone growth emanating from the fiber break, which were in good agreement with the VBI predictions in the absence of significant inelastic zones.

They presented their scheme as an integral form of the Lax–Wendroff method. Our perspective is somewhat different from theirs; our focus is on the discretization of the evolution formula rather than on its form (integral, differential, etc.). A key feature of our approach is the independent computation of three discretizations, one for bulk (away from boundaries) propagation, one for propagation near boundaries, and a projection operator to enforce boundary conditions. This is done in a way that is straightforward to extend to more space dimensions.

Our main interest is in evaluating the relative accuracy and asymptotic order of accuracy of the methods on problems which exhibit an approximate balance between the competing component time scales. Nearly balanced systems can produce a significant coupling of the physical mechanisms and introduce a slow dynamical time scale of interest. These problems provide a challenging test for this evaluation and tend to reveal subtle differences between the various methods. The methods we consider include first- and second-order semi-implicit, fully implicit, and operator-splitting techniques. The test problems include a prototype propagating nonlinear reaction–diffusion wave, a non-equilibrium radiation–diffusion system, a Brusselator chemical dynamics system and a blow-up example. In this evaluation we demonstrate a “split personality” for the operator-splitting methods that we consider. While operator-splitting methods often obtain very good accuracy, they can also manifest a serious degradation in accuracy due to stability problems.

The coordinates of the grid nodes satisfy two quasi-linear elliptic equations in the form of Laplace equations in a Riemann space. By forming a Dirichlet boundary value problem, the proposed method is applicable to both structured and unstructured grids. The Riemannian metric, acting as a driving force in the grid smoothing, is computed iteratively beginning with the metric of the unsmoothed grid. Smoothing is achieved by computing the metric tensor on the dual mesh elements, which incorporates the influence of neighbor elements. Numerical examples of this smoothing methodology, demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed approach, are presented.

We first decompose the log hydraulic conductivity Y=lnKs as an infinite series on the basis of a set of orthogonal Gaussian standard random variables {ξi}. The coefficients of the series are related to eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance function of log hydraulic conductivity. We then write head as an infinite series whose terms h(n) represent head of nth order in terms of σY, the standard deviation of Y, and derive a set of recursive equations for h(n). We then decompose h(n) with polynomial expansions in terms of the products of n Gaussian random variables. The coefficients in these series are determined by substituting decompositions of Y and h(n) into those recursive equations. We solve the mean head up to fourth-order in σY and the head variances up to third-order in σY2. We conduct Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and compare MC results against approximations of different orders from the moment-equation approach based on Karhunen–Loe`ve decomposition (KLME). We also explore the validity of the KLME approach for different degrees of medium variability and various correlation scales. It is evident that the KLME approach with higher-order corrections is superior to the conventional first-order approximations and is computationally more efficient than the Monte Carlo simulation.

T1 - Use of X-ray absorption imaging to examine heterogeneous diffusion in fractured crystalline rocks JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 69 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 01697722 AB - Heterogeneous diffusion in different regions of a fractured granodiorite from Japan has been observed and measured through the use of X-ray absorption imaging. These regions include gouge-filled fractures, recrystallized fracture-filling material and hydrothermally altered matrix. With the X-ray absorption imaging technique, porosity, relative concentration, and relative mass of an iodine tracer were imaged in two dimensions with a sub-millimeter pixel size. Because portions of the samples analyzed have relatively low porosity values, imaging errors can potentially impact the results. For this reason, efforts were made to better understand and quantify this error. Based on the X-ray data, pore diffusion coefficients (Dp) for the different regions were estimated assuming a single diffusion rate and a lognormal multirate distribution of Dp. Results show Dp for the gouge-filled fractures are over an order of magnitude greater than those of the recrystallized fracture-filling material, which in turn is approximately two times greater than those for the altered matrix. The recrystallized fracture-filling material was found to exhibit the greatest degree of variability. The results of these experiments also provide evidence that diffusion from advective zones in fractures through the gouge-filled fractures and recrystallized fracture-filling material could increase the pore space available for matrix diffusion. This evidence is important for understanding the performance of potential nuclear waste repositories in crystalline rocks as diffusion is thought to be an important retardation mechanism for radionuclides.

T1 - Effects of ethanol addition on micellar solubilization and plume migration during surfactant enhanced recovery of tetrachloroethene JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 69 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 73 SN - 01697722 AB - Alcohol addition has been suggested for use in combination with surfactant flushing to enhance solubilization kinetics and permit density control of dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL)-laden surfactant plumes. This study examined the effects of adding ethanol (EtOH) to a 4% Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate) solution used to flush tetrachloroethene (PCE)-contaminated porous media. The influence of EtOH concentration, subsurface layering and scale on flushing solution delivery and PCE recovery was investigated through a combination of experimental and mathematical modeling studies. Results of batch experiments demonstrated that the addition of 2.5%, 5% and 10% (wt.) EtOH incrementally increased the PCE solubilization capacity and viscosity of the surfactant solution, while reducing solution density from 1.002 to 0.986 g/cm3. Effluent concentration data obtained from one-dimensional (1-D) column experiments were used to characterize rate-limited micellar solubilization of residual PCE, which was strongly dependent upon flow velocity and weakly dependent upon EtOH concentration. Two-dimensional (2-D) box studies illustrated that minor differences (0.008 g/cm3) between flushing and resident solution density can strongly influence surfactant front propagation. A two-dimensional multiphase simulator, MISER, was used to model the influence of EtOH composition on the aqueous flow field and PCE mass recovery. The ability of the numerical simulator to predict effluent concentrations and front propagation was demonstrated for both 1-D columns and 2-D boxes flushed with EtOH-amended Tween 80 solutions. Results of this study quantify the potential influence of alcohol addition on surfactant solution properties and solubilization capacity, and demonstrate the importance of considering small density variations in remedial design.

The resulting epilayers were characterized by secondary ion mass spectrometry, photoluminescence, and electrical resistivity among other techniques. Both sources were found to controllably introduce carbon in the concentration range 1×1018–3×1019 cm−3 with insignificant contamination by other impurities. The CCl4 source drastically reduced the effective Ga/N flux ratio due to a parasitic reaction, necessitating greatly increased Ga flux to maintain Ga-rich conditions. On the other hand GaN:C was successfully obtained with CS2 with no parasitic reaction. For both sources an anomalous concentration dependence of the carbon incorporation behavior was observed, leading to reduced concentrations of electrically active CN acceptors for higher total doping levels.

The noticeably high activity of pocket gophers on closed waste burial sites of various types at Area G resulted in the need to understand possible interactions between gophers and radioactive waste. Fossorial animals can influence the fate of contaminants by directly burrowing into waste trenches, pushing contaminated soil to the surface, or through indirect mechanisms such as consumption of contaminant-laden vegetation or the ingestion of soil. In our study, pocket gophers, mound soil, surface soil, and vegetation were collected at Area G and at offsite reference locations. The samples were analyzed for 241Am, 238Pu, 239Pu, 3H, and total U. It did not appear that gophers were responsible for any upward transport of radionuclides. Concentrations of 241Am, 238Pu, 239Pu, and 3H in some gophers, soil, and vegetation were higher than at reference sites; however, only 3H in gopher carcasses at only one of five sites within Area G was higher than a conservative ecological screening level.

SN - 13594117 AB - This review focuses on clinical trials and the approval process in order to understand the discrepancy between vibrant science and the continuing failure of mechanism-based anticancer drugs. Clinical trials. Mechanistic trials in cancer require at least three elements: the assurance of tumor definition, knowledge of the natural history, and earlier intervention. Histologic identity is not a reliable surrogate of the functional nature or a predictor of the natural history. cDNA arrays and computational models have promise in improving diagnosis and prediction, and thereby making tailored therapy possible. The latter requires: the incorporation of initial and earlier rational combination therapy, dynamic models of disease progression, and methods to discourage the emergence of resistance. For cytostatics, and in early cancer, a delay in progression may represent a better index of survival than tumor shrinkage. Approval process. Since mechanistic similarities may outweigh therapeutic predictions based on organ-and histology-defined cancer, there is a need for a revised process that would allow for tailored treatment and initial combination therapy to improve safety, efficacy, and circumvent resistance. Conclusion. In order to translate the major and immediate potential of cytostatic drugs, clinical trials and the approval process may need to shift to a mechanism-based framework.

Biotechnol. 21 (2003) 163], one must be able to efficiently isolate and characterize clones within the library. To this end, we have developed and validated a magnetic bead sorting technique utilizing the Miltenyi Macs™ system to recover greater than 90% of the antigen-specific clones present in the library. In combination with flow cytometry, we rapidly reduced diversity and enriched for antigen-specific clones in three rounds of selection. Furthermore, we demonstrate the use of pre-existing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for antigen labeling and subsequent flow cytometric sorting and characterization of epitope-specific scFv. Combining these two improvements in library screening allowed isolation and characterization of three epitope-specific scFv, including a previously uncharacterized epitope to a 6-kDa protein, epidermal growth factor.

The long-term action of 20 μM causes the toxicity that results in losing of the cell viability by activating the apoptotic process, as identified by morphological analysis, the activation of caspase-3, and DNA fragmentation. The toxic chromium concentration totally destroys glutathione antioxidant system, and diminishes the activity of catalase and cytosolic Cu, ZnSOD. The non-toxic concentration (2 μM) causes the activation of the antioxidant defense systems, and they neutralize the oxidative impact.

Previous electrical and optical data, together with Density Functional calculations, have suggested that carbon is incorporated at acceptor and donor substitutional sites in this material; the relative importance of each is determined by the Fermi level position and the growth conditions. Here the luminescence behavior of these materials is examined in more detail, including spectral, temperature, and time dependences under ultraviolet light and electron beam excitation conditions. Particular attention is given to the commonly observed “yellow band” at ∼2.2 eV, a blue luminescence at ∼3 eV seen only in samples where carbon is the majority dopant, and ultraviolet bands near ∼3.3 eV. Our data suggest that the latter two bands are both donor–acceptor related with the final state being the negatively charged state of a carbon atom substituting for nitrogen. In samples where carbon is the majority dopant, extended luminescence excitation at low temperatures results in large changes in the brightness of the yellow and blue luminescence bands. These effects are similar to other recent observations of luminescence metastability in high resistivity GaN, and we suggest that carbon plays a crucial role in this phenomenon.

Characteristic emission with maximum at 256 nm occurs in each specimen and is attributed to radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons. Thermal quenching of this band obeys the Mott–Seitz relation yielding quenching energies 24, 38 and 13 meV for Lu2O3, LSO and LSO:Ce, respectively. A second intrinsic band appears at 315 nm in LSO and LSO:Ce, and at 368 nm in Lu2O3. Quenching curves for these bands show an initial increase in peak intensity followed by a decrease. Similarity in spectral peak position and quenching behavior indicate that this band has a common origin in each of the samples and is attributed to radiative recombination of self-trapped holes, in agreement with previous work on similar specimens. Comparison of glow curves and emission spectra show that the lowest temperature glow peaks in each specimen are associated with thermal decay of self-trapped excitons and self-trapped holes. Interplay between the intrinsic defects and extrinsic Ce3+ emission in LSO:Ce is strongly indicated.

SN - 00222461 AB - Microencapsulated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) healing agent and Grubbs' Ru catalyst are incorporated into an epoxy matrix to produce a polymer composite capable of self-healing. The fracture toughness and healing efficiency of this composite are measured using a tapered double-cantilever beam (TDCB) specimen. Both the virgin and healed fracture toughness depend strongly on the size and concentration of microcapsules added to the epoxy. Fracture of the neat epoxy is brittle, exhibiting a mirror fracture surface. Addition of DCPD-filled urea-formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules yields up to 127% increase in fracture toughness and induces a change in the fracture plane morphology to hackle markings. The fracture toughness of epoxy with embedded microcapsules is much greater than epoxy samples with similar concentrations of silica microspheres or solid UF polymer particles. The increased toughening associated with fluid-filled microcapsules is attributed to increased hackle markings as well as subsurface microcracking not observed for solid particle fillers. Overall the embedded microcapsules provide two independent effects: the increase in virgin fracture toughness from general toughening and the ability to self-heal the virgin fracture event.

SN - 00222461 AB - The tensile behaviour of different geothermal well cement formulations was investigated in order to determine how these materials perform under such loading and how tensile capacity can be improved. The influence of latex, perlite and fibres on the load-displacement relationship of the cements was measured on notched cylinders. The fracture surfaces were examined to further elucidate failure mechanisms. Unreinforced cements exhibited linear elastic behaviour to different degrees and failed in a brittle manner. Cements reinforced with either carbon (150 μm) or steel (1–3 mm) microfibres required greater loads for failure. However, the microfibres did not provide any major improvement in ductility. Addition of 13 mm steel fibres to the cements resulted in both strengthening and transition to ductile behaviour. Inclusion of the types of fibres studied in this work in cements offers potential benefits in maintaining the integrity of geothermal wells when tensile stresses are involved.

This methodology is detailed in four parts. First, we create a QSAR equation that correlates the occurrence of a signature to the activity values using a stepwise multilinear regression technique. Second, we construct constraint equations, specifically the graphicality and consistency equations, which facilitate the reconstruction of the solution compounds directly from the signatures. Third, we solve the set of constraint equations, which are both linear and Diophantine in nature. Last, we reconstruct and enumerate the solution molecules and calculate their activity values from the QSAR equation. We apply this inverse-QSAR method to a small set of LFA-1/ICAM-1 peptide inhibitors to assist in the search and design of more-potent inhibitory compounds. Many novel inhibitors were predicted, a number of which are predicted to be more potent than the strongest inhibitor in the training set. Two of the more potent inhibitors were synthesized and tested in-vivo, confirming them to be the strongest inhibiting peptides to date. Some of these compounds can be recycled to train a new QSAR and develop a more focused library of lead compounds.

These technologies may be particularly useful in obtaining accurate spatial information and low-level detection of essential and nonessential bioactive food components (nutrients) and their metabolites, and in enhancing the understanding of the impact of nutrient/metabolite and biomolecular interactions. Highlights from this symposium are presented briefly herein.

Prompt C-Br bond fission is the dominant single-photon dissociation channel. In addition to primary Br and CHBr2 signals, we observe Br, CHBr, CBr, HBr, and Br2 products attributed to secondary photodissociation of CHBr2 and CHBr. There are three competing fragmentation channels from the photodissociation of CHBr2: CHBr + Br, CH + Br2, and CBr + HBr. The conclusion that Br2 fragments do not arise from a single-photon channel in appreciable yield is supported by transient FM absorption measurements of the CHBr radical. Because the molecular HBr and Br2 detachment channels are multiphoton processes, they will have very little impact on the atmospheric chemistry of CHBr3. We conclude that the most important photodissociation channel of CHBr3 in the UV region is C-Br bond breaking.

The behavior, as a function of surfactant concentration above the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), can be described in terms of two separate regimes: an initial regime in which micelles are attached to the coils but are noninteracting and a second regime in which there is interaction between the attached micelles. The latter is characterized by a strong increase in viscosity and other features similar to polyelectrolytes. On the contrary, in the initial regime, our results suggest a slight decrease in coil size under ambient conditions and a much more significant decrease at elevated temperatures. The cloud point of PEO in water exhibits a minimum as a function of surfactant concentration. We believe the minimum in the cloud point corresponds to a crossover from the noninteracting to the interacting regime.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 108 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2931 EP - 2938 SN - 15206106 AB - The interaction of SO2 with ceria-zirconia model catalysts was studied using high-resolution synchrotron-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Epitaxial Ce1-xZrxO2(111) (x = 0.1 and 0.3) thin films (500-700 Å in thickness) were grown by oxygen-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on single-crystal Y-stabilized ZrO2(111). Slightly defective surfaces were achieved by vacuum annealing at 900 K, and highly defective surfaces with O vacancies were obtained by 1.5-keV Ne+ sputtering. On the slightly defective Ce0.9Zr0.1O1.95(111) and Ce0.7Zr0.3O1.95(111) surfaces, the only products upon SO2 adsorption at 300 K are SO4/SO3 species, which gradually desorb from the surface between 300 and 900 K. SO2 adsorption on the heavily reduced surfaces results in different behavior. A complex set of compounds is observed during adsorption and thermal conversion processes. The Ceδ+ states (δ ≤ 3) play a dominant role in the adsorption of SO2 and cleavage of S-O bonds. The relative amount of sulfur-derived adsorbates depends on the defect concentration: the higher the Ceδ+ concentration, the larger the amount of formed atomic S. On Ce0.9Zr0.1O1.50(111) and Ce0.7Zr0.3O1.50(111) surfaces, sulfate, sulfite, and atomic sulfur species coexist at 300 K. The Zr cations increase the stability of the SO4/SO3 groups on the oxide surface. Thermal annealing (for Ce0.9 Zr0.1O1.50(111), >400 K; for Ce0.7Zr0.3O1.50(111), >700 K) leads to the formation of oxy-sulfides (M2O2S, M= Ce or Zr), which are converted from either sulfate or sulfite. The formation of the oxy-sulfides produces a substantial shift in the Zr 3d core levels.

All simulations were performed with a classical electrodynamics approach using the full set of Maxwell's equations that were solved with the three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). Two different classes of surfaces were modeled using fractals, representing dendritic and sponge-like structures. The simulations depict the high inhomogeneity of an enhanced electromagnetic field as that both a field enhancement and a field attenuation near the surface existed. While the dendritical fractals enhanced the local electromagnetic field, the sponge-like fractals significantly reduced the local electromagnetic field intensity. Moreover, the fractal orders of the fractal objects did not significantly alter the total enhancement, and the distribution of a near-field enhancement was essentially invariant to the changes in the angle of an incoming laser beam.

The results were compared with corresponding data similarly measured by gas-solid chromatography on the same type of surface-modified silica gel, with helium. Information on the solvent effect on the adsorption characteristics was provided by the comparison of these experimental results. While the adsorption equilibrium constant and the heat of adsorption at infinite dilution were much larger in the gas-solid than in the RPLC system, the surface diffusion coefficient (Ds) and the activation energy of surface diffusion (Es) were of the same order of magnitude in both systems. Regarding surface diffusion, the logarithm of the frequency factor was linearly correlated with Es by the same straight line, suggesting the fundamental similarity of the surface diffusion mechanism in the gas-solid and liquid-solid systems. Calculations made on the basis of a surface-restricted diffusion model provide an explanation for the comparable values of Ds and Es in the two systems. In conclusion, the liquid phase in RPLC influences the thermodynamic parameters of surface diffusion as well as those of adsorption equilibrium, but similar values of Ds and Es are observed in both the two adsorption systems. A quantitative explanation of the similarities and differences of the characteristics and the mechanism of surface diffusion in gas-solid and liquid-solid adsorption systems is proposed.

It was established that chromate accumulation is dose-dependent and it is most intensive in the interval of Cr(VI) concentrations (10-50 mg/l). At lower concentrations of Cr(VI) (up to 50 mg/l) the most intensive formation of Cr(V) was found using ESR method. Besides, it was established that reduction from Cr(VI) to Cr(V) is a faster process than the uptake of Cr(VI). According to ENAA measurements, in contrast to Cr(VI), Cr(III) is not accumulated in Arthrobacter oxydans cells up to concentrations of 200 mg/l. Using epithermal neutron activation analysis the background levels of 17 major, minor and trace elements were determined in Arthrobacter oxydans.

The structures of 1 and 2 both contain one-dimensional ∞1[AnO2(IO3)3]1−(An=U,Np) ribbons that consist of approximately linear actinyl(VI) cations bound by iodate anions to yield AnO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The AnO7 units are linked by bridging iodate anions to yield chains that are in turn coupled by additional iodate anions to yield ribbons. The edges of the ribbons are terminated by monodentate iodate anions. For 1 and 2, K+ cations and water molecules separate the ribbons from one another. In addition, isolated iodate anions are also found between ∞1[UO2(IO3)3]1− ribbons in 1. In order to aid in the assignment of oxidation states in neptunyl containing compounds, a bond-valence sum parameter of 2.018 A˚ for Np(VI) bound exclusively to oxygen has been developed with b=0.37 A˚.

The product was then characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The powder XRD pattern indicates rhombohedral (R3¯c) or its monoclinic I2/a subgroup symmetry. The electronic configuration and the short-range atomic structure of the LaCoO3 perovskite at room temperature were investigated using synchrotron near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS). From the XANES region of the XAS we conclude that Co(III) is at least partly in its intermediate- or high-spin state, which is in accordance with most of the published literature on LaCoO3 perovskite. The EXAFS region of the LaCoO3 perovskite spectrum, which up to now was almost not investigated, was simulated satisfactorily for the first two radial structure peaks in terms of the dominant scattering contributions generated with the FEFF8 code and the structural information available from crystallographic data. The best simulation results were obtained with I2/a symmetry. The obtained amplitude reduction factor, zero-energy shift and Debye–Waller factors are useful reference values for data analyses of similar compounds like partly substituted LaCoO3 perovskite, such as La1−xCaxCoO3 or La1−xSrxCoO3, which are materials of technical interest in catalyst and other applications.

JO - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 129 EP - 131 SN - 09090495 AB - The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) 2.8 GeV electron storage ring continues to set high standards in insertion-device research and development. The Chasman-Green NSLS lattice design provides for dispersion-free long straight sections in addition to a very small vertical β function. As the electron beam size is proportional to the square root of this function, a program to exploit this feature was undertaken more than a decade ago by implementing short-period small-gap insertion devices in the NSLS storage ring. The possibility of utilizing existing moderate-energy synchrotron radiation electron storage rings to produce high-brightness photon beams into the harder X-ray region have been realised using in-vacuum undulators. In this article the operation of a 1.25 cmperiod mini-gap undulator, operating down to a gap of 3.3 mm within the NSLS X13 straight section, is reported. It is the brightest source of hard X-rays in the energy range ∼3.7-16 kev at the NSLS, and replaces an in-vacuum undulator which had a more limited tunability.

The investigation was performed over numerous parameters and included measurements of total flux, spectral density, rocking curves, angular beam profiles and crystal slope errors. An almost ideal monochromator performance was observed in the 270-570 W range of the heating power. At a heat load of ∼400 W and under standard operation conditions, the crystal distortions did not exceed 1 µrad. At the highest available heat load of 870 W, the crystal distortions were about 7 µrad.

JO - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 150 EP - 156 SN - 09090495 AB - Compound refractive lenses (CRLs) are effective for collimating or focusing high-energy X-ray beams (50-100 keV) and can be used in conjunction with crystal optics in a variety of configurations, as demonstrated at the 1-ID undulator beamline of the Advanced Photon Source. As a primary example, this article describes the quadrupling of the output flux when a collimating CRL, composed of cylindrical holes in aluminium, is inserted between two successive monochromators, i.e. a modest-energy-resolution premonochromator followed by a high-resolution monochromator. The premonochromator is a cryogenically cooled divergence-preserving bent doubleLaue Si(111) crystal device delivering an energy width ΔE/E ... 10-3, which is sufficient for most experiments. The high-resolution monochromator is a four-reflection flat Si(111) crystal system resembling two channel-cuts in a dispersive arrangement, reducing the bandwidth to less than 10-4, as required for some applications. Tests with 67 and 81 kev photon energies show that the highresolution monochromator, having a narrow angular acceptance of a few microradians, exhibits a fourfold throughput enhancement due to the insertion of a CRL that reduces the premonochromatized beam's vertical divergence from 29 µrad to a few microradians. The ability to focus high-energy X-rays with CRLs having long focal lengths (tens of meters) is also shown by creating a line focus of 70-90 µm beam height in the beamline end-station with both the modest-energyresolution and the high-energy-resolution monochromatic X-rays.

At the in situ groundwater pH of 8.6, the americium was strongly sorbed onto the colloids. XAFS analyses were performed on these sorbed Am species to establish the oxidation state and its near-neighbour bonding. These XAFS data, obtained at 400 mg l-1 colloid concentrations and total Am concentration of 1.53 × 10-5M (dissolved and onto colloids), indicated that Am remains trivalent, and that surface complexes are formed with the colloids without surface precipitation. This conclusion is based on the absence of Am—Am interactions in the second or third shells. The surface complexes generated by the Am(III) sorbed onto active sites are described on the basis of the XAFS data. They include the presence of about seven water molecules around the ternary surface complexes of this trivalent actinide.

The resonance patterns of both the ear canal and the concha are computed and compared with experimental data. Specialized numerical algorithms are developed that allow for the efficient computation of the eardrum pressures. In contrast to previous results in the literature that consider only the "blocked meatus" configuration, in this work the simulations are conducted on a boundary element mesh that includes both the external head/ear geometry, as well as the ear canal and eardrum. The simulation technology developed in this work is intended to demonstrate the utility of numerical analysis in studying physical phenomena related to the external auditory system. Later work could extend this towards simulating in situ hearing aids, and possibly using the simulations as a tool for optimizing hearing aid technologies for particular individuals.

Dopant levels ranged from 100–1000 ppm (Nd/Al atomic ratio). The densification behavior of the doped powders was studied using constant heating rate dilatometry. It was found that neodymium additions inhibited densification, with a corresponding increase in the apparent activation energy. The level of grain-boundary segregation was studied using high-resolution analytical electron microscopy. At dilute concentrations, the degree of neodymium grain-boundary excess was found to be consistent with a simple geometrical model relating this quantity to the overall dopant concentration and average grain size. For certain combinations of dopant level and heat treatment, supersaturation of the grain boundaries was observed, which was found to correlate with the onset of abnormal grain growth. Possible explanations for this behavior are discussed.

The present study examines the ZrO2-Y2O3Ta2O5/Nb2O5 systems for potential alternative chemistries that would overcome the limitations of the 3–4YSZ. A rationale for choosing specific compositions based on the effect of defect chemistry on the thermal conductivity and phase stability in zirconia-based systems is presented. The results show that it is possible to produce stable (for up to 200 h at 1000°-1500°C), single (tetragonal) or dual (tetragonal + cubic) phase chemistries that have thermal conductivity that is as low (1.8–2.8W/m K) as the 3–4YSZ, a wide range of elastic moduli (150–232 GPa), and a similar mean coefficient of thermal expansion at 1000°C. The chemistries can be plasma sprayed without change in composition or deleterious effects to phase stability. Preliminary burner rig testing results on one of the compositions are also presented.

The tensile tests were carried out on straight-sided, centre hole notched plates with 0/90° and ±45° orientations. The as-received material was slightly notch sensitive in that the net section fracture stress decreased somewhat with increasing hole diameter but much less than predicted for an ideally elastic, fully notch-sensitive material. After exposure at 1100 °C and for long time at 1000 °C in air the composite was embrittled. In the 0/90 composite this resulted in a reduced fracture strength, a reduced strain to failure as well as a reduced fracture toughness and damage zone size. After exposure for 100 h at 1100 °C (the most extreme exposure applied) the material also became significantly more notch sensitive and had failure characteristics similar to those of a monolithic ceramic. The ±45 composite was also embrittled which resulted in a reduced strain to failure but an increase in fracture strength. Density measurements and observations on the microstructure and fracture surfaces indicated that the embrittlement was due mainly to localised densification of the matrix and an increase in fibre/matrix bonding.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2187 EP - 2200 SN - 0022538X AB - Although there is increasing evidence that virus-specific cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses play an important role in the control of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication in vivo, only scarce CTL data are available for the ethnic populations currently most affected by the epidemic. In this study, we examined the CD8+-T-cell responses in African-American, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Caribbean populations in which clade B virus dominates and analyzed the potential factors influencing immune recognition. Total HIV-specific CD8+-T-cell responses were determined by enzyme-linked immunospot assays in 150 HIV-infected individuals by using a clade B consensus sequence peptide set spanning all HIV proteins. A total of 88% of the 410 tested peptides were recognized, and Nef- and Gag-specific responses dominated the total response for each ethnicity in terms of both breadth and magnitude. Three dominantly targeted regions within these proteins that were recognized by >90% of individuals in each ethnicity were identified. Overall, the total breadth and magnitude of CD8+-T-cell responses correlated with individuals' CD4 counts but not with viral loads. The frequency of recognition for each peptide was highly correlated with the relative conservation of the peptide sequence, the presence of predicted immunoproteasomal cleavage sites within the C-terminal half of the peptide, and a reduced frequency of amino acids that impair binding of optimal epitopes to the restricting class I molecules. The present study thus identifies factors that contribute to the immunogenicity of these highly targeted and relatively conserved sequences in HIV that may represent promising vaccine candidates for ethnically heterogeneous populations.

PBI displayed thermal stability at temperatures up to 600 °C. However, when its film was exposed to 300 °C brine, it underwent hydrolysis, which causes the opening and breakage of imidazole rings in the PBI structure, followed by the formation of two hydrolysate derivatives, biphenyl tetra-amine and benzodicarboxylic acid. This shortcoming lowered the film''s maximum effectiveness in minimizing the rate of transportation through it of corrosive electrolytes in hydrothermal environments. As a result, the PBI coating film was hydrothermally degraded, and it delaminated from the underlying steel substrates after a 14-day exposure.

Specifically, we discuss the developmental efforts and existing system limitations that have led up to the current efforts being undertaken by the Military Traffic Management Command Transportation Engineering Agency and Argonne National Laboratory. PORTSIM 5 builds on the knowledge and expertise gained from two preceding port simulation models, PORTSIM 4.3 and CPORTS 1.4, and incorporates a set of rules and conventions to address the issue of resource competition. We will provide a brief description of the preceding models and illustrate their individual shortcomings. The paper will go on to describe PORTSIM 5 and the three main areas it models, port areas of operation, port processes, and port resources. Port resource allocation methods will also be addressed. In PORTSIM 5, the graphical user interface (GUI) has been decoupled from the simulation. Here we provide a short section on the GUI and illustrate with sample screens and output. Finally, future enhancements are suggested.

TRANSCAP''s design separates its pre- and post-processing modules (developed in Java) from its simulation module (developed in MODSIM III®). This paper describes TRANSCAP''s modelling approach, emphasizing Argonne''s highly detailed, object-oriented, multilanguage software design principles. Fundamental to these design principles is TRANSCAP''s implementation of an improved method for standardizing the transmission of simulated data to output analysis tools and the implementation of three Army deployment/redeployment community standards, all of which are in the final phases of community acceptance. The first is the extensive hierarchy and object representation for transport simulations (EXHORT), which is a reusable, object-oriented deployment simulation source code framework of classes. The second and third are algorithms for rail deployment operations at a military base.

This perturbation provides an opportunity to investigate the existence and dynamics of different sources of viral production. Models of HIV dynamics can be used to make a comparative analysis of the efficacies of different drug regimens. When HAART is administered for long periods of time, most patients achieve ‘undetectable’ viral loads (VLs), i.e., below 50 copies/ml. Use of an ultrasensitive VL assay demonstrates that some of these patients obtain a low steady state VL in the range 5–50 copies/ml, while others continue to exhibit VL declines to below 5 copies/ml. Interestingly, when patients exhibit continued declines below 50 copies/ml the virus has a half-life of ∼6 months, consistent with some estimates of the rate of latent cell decline. Some patients, despite having sustained undetectable VLs, show periods of transient viremia (blips). We present a statistical characterization of the blips observed in a set of 123 patients, suggesting that patients have different tendencies to show blips during the period of VL suppression, that intermittent episodes of viremia have common amplitude profiles, and that VL decay from the peak of a blip may have two phases.

For example, friction characteristics of a machine tool become highly non-linear at low operating speeds, demanding sophisticated compensation. We present a theoretical treatment of the kinematics of reversals and reversal free paths of machine tools. We visualize and compare reversal characteristics of active joints in serial, parallel, and hybrid mechanisms for various trajectories and sweeping patterns. Reversal characteristics have implications both in the design of machine tools and in path planning.

These programs share a common goal of demonstrating modalities for developed country parties to fulfill their obligation under the UNFCCC to support technology transfer to developing country parties that facilitates their participation in global efforts to combat climate changes. Several related U.S. bilateral programs and programs supported by the Climate Technology Initiative, a multilateral effort on behalf of a number of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, are included in this review. The discussion highlights a number of common elements of the approaches of many of these programs as well as some differences. It presents case studies that focus on methods and results in China, Mexico, and Southern Africa, and catalogues and describes the implementation activities and results that these programs have achieved. It concludes by assessing the implications of this experience for the international community as it moves forward with the climate change technology transfer enterprise.

JO - Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Global Change JF - Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Global Change Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 9 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 95 SN - 13812386 AB - Carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems and geologic formations provides a significant opportunity for California to address global climate change. The physical size of its resources (e.g., forests, agriculture, soils, rangeland, and geologic formations) and the expertise in California provides a substantial foundation for developing carbon sequestration activities. Furthermore, the co-benefits of carbon sequestration – such as improved soil and water quality, restoration of degraded ecosystems, increased plant and crop productivity, and enhanced oil recovery – are significant. In fact, carbon sequestration often represents a `no regrets'' strategy – implementing carbon sequestration provides multiple benefits, even without the advent of global climate change. Nevertheless, researchers need to address several issues to determine more accurately the potential, benefits, and costs of sequestering carbon in California''s terrestrial ecosystems and geologic formations, as well as to identify the most promising sequestration methods and their optimal implementation. One key issue is the type of regulatory constraints facing developers of carbon sequestration projects: what permits are needed for developing these projects? The permitting process may impede the penetration of sequestration technologies into the market if the costs (including transaction costs) of obtaining the permits are too burdensome and costly. For example, at least nine federal regulations and seven state regulations will potentially influence carbon sequestration projects in California. This paper also provides an example of the types of permits needed for developing a carbon sequestration project, using California as an example. It is possible that a carbon sequestration project may have to obtain a total of 15 permits (3 federal, 6 state, 6 local), before it even starts to operate. In the concluding section, we offer some suggested areas for research and activities for policy makers.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 132 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 726 EP - 748 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - Fast, accurate computation of geophysical fluid dynamics is often very challenging. This is due to the complexity of the PDEs themselves and their initial and boundary conditions. There are several practical advantages to using a relatively new numerical method, the spectral-element method (SEM), over standard methods. SEM combines spectral-method high accuracy with the geometric flexibility and computational efficiency of finite-element methods. This paper is intended to augment the few descriptions of SEM that aim at audiences besides numerical-methods specialists. Advantages of SEM with regard to flexibility, accuracy, and efficient parallel performance are explained, including sufficient details that readers may estimate the benefit of applying SEM to their own computations. The spectral element atmosphere model (SEAM) is an application of SEM to solving the spherical shallow-water or primitive equations. SEAM simulated decaying Jovian atmospheric shallow-water turbulence up to resolution T1067, producing jets and vortices consistent with Rhines theory. SEAM validates the Held–Suarez primitive equations test case and exhibits excellent parallel performance. At T171L20, SEAM scales up to 292 million floating-point operations per second (Mflops) per processor (29% of supercomputer peak) on 32 Compaq ES40 processors (93% efficiency over using 1 processor), allocating 49 spectral elements/processor. At T533L20, SEAM scales up to 130 billion floating-point operations per second (Gflops) (8% of peak) and 9 wall clock minutes per model day on 1024 IBM POWER3 processors (48% efficiency over 16 processors), allocating 17 spectral elements per processor. Local element-mesh refinement with 300% stretching enables conformally embedding T480 within T53 resolution, inside a region containing 73% of the forcing but 6% of the area. Thereby the authors virtually reproduced a uniform-mesh T363 shallow-water computation, at 94% lower cost.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 4 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 525 EP - 531 SN - 15306984 AB - We apply the semiempirical nonlocal pseudopotential method to the investigation of prospects for direct carrier multiplication (DCM) in neutral and negatively charged CdSe nanocrystals. In this process, known in the bulk as impact ionization, a highly excited carrier transfers, upon relaxation to the band edge, its excess energy Δ to a valence electron, promoting it across the band gap and thus creating two excitons from one. For excess energies just a few meV above the energy gap Eg (the DCM threshold), we find the following: (i) DCM is much more efficient in quantum dots than in bulk materials, with rates of the order of 1010 s-1. In conventional bulk solids, comparable rates are obtained only for excess energies about 1 eV above Eg. (ii) Unlike the case in the bulk, in both neutral and charged nanocrystals the DCM rate is not an increasing function of the excess energy but oscillates as Δ moves in and out of resonance with the energy of the discrete spectrum of these 0D systems. (iii) The main contribution to the DCM rates is found to come from the dot surface, as in the case of Auger multiexciton recombination rates. (iv) Direct radiative recombination of excited electron-hole pairs and phonon-assisted decay are slower than DCM, but (v) the rate of Auger cooling (where the relaxation energy of an excited electron is used to excite a hole into deeper levels) can be of the same order of magnitude as that of the DCM process. Furthermore, for excess energies well above the DCM threshold, the presence of an energy gap within the hole manifold considerably slows DCM compared to Auger cooling (AC), which is not affected by it. Achieving competitive DCM processes will, therefore, require the suppression of Auger cooling, for example, by removing the hole from the dot or by trapping it at the surface.

Among the advances was the discovery of an evolutionarily conserved hormone signaling pathway that drives aging in multicellular organisms. In its rudiments, this pathway resembles mammalian insulin or insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF- 1) signaling. Among the surprises was the finding that the p53 tumor suppressor, when hyperactive, shortens life span and accelerates aging in mice, despite conferring extraordinary protection against cancer.

The purpose of the research effort is to develop the technical basis for the validation and improvement of analytical methods and acceptance criteria which can be used to make risk-informed decisions and to address technical issues related to degradation of structures and passive components. The approach adopted for this research program consists of two phases. In Phase I, specific degradation occurrences at plants were collected and evaluated, existing technical information on aging was reviewed, and a scoping study was performed to identify which structures and components should be studied in the subsequent phases of the research program. Based on the results of the Phase I effort, selected structures and passive components are evaluated in Phase II to assess the effects of age-related degradation using existing and enhanced analytical methods. Fragility analyses are performed for undegraded and degraded structures and passive components. These results can then be used to assess the potential impact of degradation on overall plant risk. The Phase II effort also utilizes the results of the analyses to develop probabilistic degradation acceptance criteria for the structures and passive components studied. These research activities provide useful tools to support the current goals of developing risk-informed and performance-based regulation in the nuclear industry.

In this program, four benchmark models of coupled building-piping/equipment systems with different damping characteristics were developed and analyzed by BNL for a suite of earthquakes. The BNL analysis was carried out by the Wilson-θ time domain integration method with the system-damping matrix computed using a synthesis formulation as presented in a companion paper [Nucl. Eng. Des. (2002)]. These benchmark problems were subsequently distributed to and analyzed by program participants applying their uniquely developed methods and computer programs. This paper is intended to offer a glimpse at the program, and provide a summary of major findings and principle conclusions with some representative results.The participant’s analysis results established using complex modal time history methods showed good comparison with the BNL solutions, while the analyses produced with either complex-mode response spectrum methods or classical normal-mode response spectrum method, in general, produced more conservative results, when averaged over a suite of earthquakes. However, when coupling due to damping is significant, complex-mode response spectrum methods performed better than the classical normal-mode response spectrum method. Furthermore, as part of the program objectives, a parametric assessment is also presented in this paper, aimed at evaluation of the applicability of various analysis methods to problems with different dynamic characteristics unique to coupled NPP systems. It is believed that the findings and insights learned from this program will be useful in developing new acceptance criteria and providing guidance for future regulatory activities involving license applications of these alternate methods to coupled systems.

T1 - Image reconstruction and material Z discrimination via cosmic ray muon radiography JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 519 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 687 SN - 01689002 AB - Highly penetrating cosmic ray muons shower the Earth at the rate of 10,000 m−2 min−1 at sea level. In our previous work (Nature 422 (2003) 277; Rev. Sci. Instr. 74(10) (2003) 4294; Cosmic Ray Muon Radiography for Contraband Detection, in: Proceedings of AccApp’03, San Diego, CA, June 2003), we presented a novel muon radiography technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb scattering of these particles for nondestructive inspection without the use of artificial radiation. In this paper, we describe the concept of and theory behind cosmic ray muon radiography. We discuss the information carried by the scattered muons and our approaches for exploiting that information with image reconstruction algorithms. We discuss preliminary and advanced reconstruction algorithms, which take advantage of the scattering angle, scattering location, and locations where strongly scattered muons cross paths. Our algorithms are validated with both experimental demonstrations and Monte Carlo simulations. Based upon the results from both the experiment and simulations, we conclude that scattering muon radiography can be useful for both material discrimination and fast (minute order) detection of compact high-Z objects. Our ray-crossing algorithm, which highlights locations where strongly scattered muons cross paths, is effective even in the presence of a medium-Z background matrix.

Data from quenched SU(3) lattice simulations for different volumes V and small values of the chemical potential μ are compared to analytical predictions from matrix models. We confirm the existence of two distinct limits for weakly and strongly nonhermitian Dirac operators. Good agreement is found in both limits, confirming the different scaling of chemical potential and eigenvalues with the volume.

At small μI, we determine the position of the crossover from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma as a function of μI. At larger μI we observe the phase transition from the superfluid pion-condensed phase to a quark-gluon plasma, noting its change from second order to first order as μI is increased. We also simulate two-flavour lattice QCD at zero quark mass, using an action which includes an additional 4-fermion interaction, at temperatures close to the chiral transition on Nt = 8 lattices.

The temperature and mass dependence, as well as its short distance behavior is analyzed. Using the free energies we calculate the heavy quark potential and entropy in quenched QCD The asymptotic large distance behavior of the free energy is used to define the non-perturbatively renormalized Polyakov loop which is well behaved in the continuum limit. String breaking is studied in the color singlet channel in 2-flavor QCD.

This ASIC was custom-designed so that crucial lattice QCD kernels achieve an overall sustained performance of 50% on machines with several 10,000 nodes. This strong scalability, together with low power consumption and a price/performance ratio of $1 per sustained MFlops, enable QCDOC to attack the most demanding lattice QCD problems. The first ASICs became available in June of 2003, and the testing performed so far has shown all systems functioning according to specification. We review the hardware and software status of QCDOC and present performance figures obtained in real hardware as well as in simulation.

C is found to react more readily than N at both the Cr cathode and the coating surfaces, so that a C 2 H 4 -to-N 2 flow ratio of only 1% yields a C-to-N ratio of approximately 10% within the coatings. The as-deposited microstructures consist primarily of the δ-Cr(C, N) phase and possess high compressive residual stresses, which decrease with increasing C content. Post-deposition annealing up to 700°C results in depletion of lattice defects, and concomitant reductions in stress and coating hardness, together with phase transformations which suggest metastable phase formation during growth. Apparent activation energies for this lattice defect are found to be in the range expected for bulk diffusion of N and C (2.4-2.8 eV). The results suggest that inclusion of small amounts of C in this system offers the ability to reduce internal stresses while maintaining defect-related hardness increases, permitting growth of thicker and thus more wear-resistant coatings.

Threading dislocations that pre-exist in the Cu substrate extend into the coherent Ni overlayer during growth and propagate in the [110] and directions along the interface. These dislocations are perfect glide dislocations with mixed character and lying on the Ni{111} planes, and were by far the most numerous in the microstructure. Lomer edge dislocations lying on the Ni-Cu(001) interface were also detected, constituting approximately 5% of the total interface dislocation content. Closely spaced adjacent pairs of perfect glide dislocations having the same Burgers vector were commonly observed at the interface. This dislocation configuration, together with several others that were observed, is explained in terms of the ability of favourably oriented dislocations to cross-slip.

It is found that the deformation-induced amorphization initiated from dislocation core regions in the interior of grains and from grain boundaries. It is believed that both the energy stored in the dislocations and the energy stored in the grain boundaries contribute significantly to driving the crystalline-to-amorphous transformation.

In box-counting, we found evidence of a competition between the different singular behaviors associated with the bulk and the external hull (interface), which was most noticeable for the short-wide systems with a long external hull. Modifying the box-counting to exclude those boxes covering the external hull provides results for the short-wide systems which are consistent with results from the literature and from straightforward box-counting on long-narrow systems. Not surprisingly, we found that the avalanche size distribution was ‘cut off’ by the length in the short-wide systems; however, we also found that the distribution was cut off by the width in the long-narrow systems. Therefore, the smaller dimension served as a cut-off length for the distribution of avalanche sizes, so that in the long-narrow systems, the distribution of avalanche sizes collapses long before the injected fluid reaches the outlet. This results in fingering patterns in the long-narrow systems that are different from those in the short-wide systems where the avalanche size distribution is maintained all the way to the outlet. Determining the fractal dimension from the power-law dependence of mass upon a typical length scale was found to be unaffected by the length of the external hull, providing the standard literature values of fractal dimension for the problematic short-wide systems.

We utilized resonant diffraction at the Mn K-edge as a contrast technique for determining the pattern of Mn atoms in inequivalent crystallographic sites. In order to determine the important properties of the 3d electrons in this system, we have probed the unoccupied 3d orbitals using the magnetic and non-magnetic soft X-ray diffraction at the Mn L-edges. Finally resonant inelastic X-ray scattering experiments have been performed at the Mn K-edge. This latter technique provides new insights into the ground state as it probes the elementary electronic excitations.

We compare two schemes by which this can be accomplished and describe how this method can be adapted for use on time-of-flight DCD USANS instruments. The wavelength dispersion of the prism can be used on steady-state instruments to select or suppress higher harmonics of the characteristic incident wavelength.

We observe two clear resonances that exhibit strong temperature dependence in position, line width, and intensity, especially near and below the Curie temperature. We attribute the two resonances to the fundamental CR transitions expected for delocalized holes in the valence band in the magnetic quantum limit. Our theoretical calculations, based on an 8×8 k·p model with s(p)–d exchange interaction taken into account, reproduced temperature-dependent CR peak shifts with decreasing temperature, in qualitative agreement with experiment. We propose that the narrowing is due to the suppression of localized spin fluctuations at low temperature.

JO - Physics of Fluids JF - Physics of Fluids Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 16 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 495 EP - 508 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 10706631 AB - The energy transfer process and the interaction of different scales in a flow induced by the variable-density Rayleigh–Taylor instability in miscible fluids is investigated using a three-dimensional direct numerical simulation database with a spatial resolution of N[sub x]×N[sub y]×N[sub z]=512×512×2040. The method used to study the transfer of energy between the supergrid and subgrid scales in the homogeneous planes, determined by partitioning the modes into resolved and unresolved scales defined by a two-dimensional cutoff wave number k[sub c] in Fourier space, is applied to the kinetic energy evolution equation. The treatment of the flow inhomogeneity in the direction z parallel to the acceleration is analogous to that used in the analysis of incompressible wall-bounded flows, including channel flow and Rayleigh–Bénard convection [J. A. Domaradzki et al., Phys. Fluids 6, 1583 (1994); J. A. Domaradzki and W. Liu, ibid. 7, 2025 (1995)]. Using a sharp Fourier cutoff filter, the kinetic energy transfer is decomposed into (1) the resolved part; (2) a part corresponding to the interaction between resolved and unresolved scales; and (3) a part corresponding to the interaction between unresolved scales. The sum of these last two contributions is the subgrid-scale kinetic energy transfer, which is studied in the present work. These z-dependent spectra are computed for three different cutoff wave numbers to investigate the dependence of the transfer process on the scales contributing to the subgrid interactions. The kinetic energy transfer is further decomposed into its positive and negative components corresponding to the forward and backward cascades of energy, respectively, that arise from the nonlinear modal interactions. The decomposition into resolved and unresolved scales is used to define an effective eddy viscosity and backscatter viscosity. The principal conclusions of the analysis are (1) the transfer spectra and eddy viscosities exhibit a strong dependence on the wave number cutoff; (2) the contributions from the interaction between resolved and unresolved scales dominate the contribution to the total subgrid eddy viscosities and are responsible for the cusp at large k/k[sub c]; (3) the contributions from the interaction between unresolved scales dominate the contribution to the total subgrid eddy viscosities at small k/k[sub c] and are responsible for the small, negative contribution (associated with an inverse energy transfer), and (4) backscatter is strongest in the regions near the boundaries of the mixing layer. The physical implications of these results for subgrid-scale modeling in a large-eddy simulation of Rayleigh–Taylor instability-induced turbulence are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The waves are described in terms of an eikonal with slow envelope variation. It is assumed that the bounce frequency of trapped electrons is large. A kinetic equation involving only slowly varying quantities is derived and it is shown that the characteristic equations form a Hamiltonian system. Conservation of particles, momentum, and energy are shown to depend on first-order corrections to this kinetic equation. The low order correction moments are derived exactly from these conservation laws, eliminating the need for a complicated boundary layer treatment of the separatrix. Previous results for nonlinear Langmuir waves are reproduced by a simplified version of this theory which neglects variations of the amplitude envelope and phase velocity. A particle-in-cell method is proposed for solution of the nonlinear kinetic problem. Extensions of this method required to correctly describe small amplitude waves are suggested. Such an extended model may be useful for the modeling of laser-plasma interaction in the trapping regime. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Due to angular invariance, the equations of motion are that of a two degree-of-freedom system with spatial variables ρ and ζ. As a result of separation of time scales of motion caused by large elongation, there is a conserved adiabatic invariant, J[sub ρ], which breaks down during the crossing of the phase-space separatrix. For integrable motion, which conserves J[sub ρ], an approximate one-dimensional effective potential was obtained by averaging over the fast radial motion. This averaged potential has the shape of either a double or single symmetric well centered about ζ=0. The condition for the approach to the separatrix and therefore the breakdown of the adiabatic invariance of J[sub ρ] is derived and studied under variation of J[sub ρ] and conserved angular momentum, π[sub [lowercase_phi_synonym]]. Since repeated violation of J[sub ρ] results in chaotic motion, this condition can be used to predict whether an ion (or distribution of ions) with given initial conditions will undergo chaotic motion. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

F. Shevchenko, Plasma Phys. Rep. 26, 1000 (2000)]. EBW mode conversion to X-mode radiation has been studied in the Current Drive Experiment-Upgrade spherical torus (T. Jones, Ph.D. thesis, Princeton University, 1995) with emission measured at blackbody levels [B. Jones et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 165001 (2003)]. Sharp transitions in the thermally emitted EBW spectrum have been observed for the first two harmonic overlaps. These transition frequencies are determined by the magnetic field and electron density at the mode conversion layer in accordance with hot-plasma wave theory. Prospects of extending this measurement to higher harmonics, necessary in order to determine the magnetic field profile, and high-β equilibria are discussed for this proposed magnetic field diagnostic. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Lin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 195004 (2002)]. A possible resolution to this puzzle is identified as turbulence spreading from the linearly active (unstable) region to the linearly inactive (stable) region. Large scale gyrokinetic simulations found that transport driven by microscopic fluctuations is diffusive and local, whereas the fluctuation intensity is determined by nonlocal effects. Fluctuations are found to spread from the linearly active region to the linearly inactive region. This turbulence spreading reduces the fluctuation intensity in the unstable region, especially for a smaller device size, and thus introduces a nonlocal dependence in the fluctuation intensity. The device size dependence of the fluctuation intensity, in turn, is responsible for the observed gradual transition from Bohm to gyro-Bohm transport scaling. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Two-dimensional (2D) resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the ablating core regions and of the array cross-section indicate that the core ablation rate is determined by force balance at the ablation surface. This implies a weak dependence of the ablation velocity (the ratio of the magnitude of the Lorentz force to the mass ablation rate) on the array parameters (current, radius, mass, etc.). In the case of a constant ablation rate, the radial profiles in the flow region between the wires and the axis are found to converge to a set of time independent equilibria. These profiles represent a unique solution to the ideal MHD equations for super-Alfvénic flow in cylindrical geometry. Comparisons of simulated implosion trajectories with experimental optical streak photography data are used as a code validation exercise and show important deviations from the scenario of invariant ablation velocity. The importance of the number of wires in the array in determining the ablation rate and thus the trajectory and structure of the implosion is highlighted. The effects upon the inferred implosion symmetry and the x-ray pulse shape and peak power are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The target is further analyzed to determine its hydrodynamic stability as well as its vulnerability to laser–plasma interactions. This target shows enhanced hydrodynamic stability over targets previously designed at lower radiation temperatures [S. W. Haan, S. M. Pollaine, J. D. Lindl et al., Phys. Plasmas 2, 2480 (1995); W. J. Krauser, N. M. Hoffman, D. C. Wilson et al., ibid.3, 2084 (1996); D. C. Wilson, P. A. Bradley, N. M. Hoffman et al., ibid.5, 1953 (1998); P. A. Bradley and D. C. Wilson, ibid.6, 4293 (1999)]. To control laser–plasma instabilities, both polarization and temporal smoothing of the spatially smoothed NIF laser beams is necessary. Analyses of laser scatter in target blow-off at peak power demonstrate saturation in both the 300 and 350 eV designs by nonlinear processes such as rescatter of the scattered laser light and the Langmuir decay instability. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A full-length light chain for the type E neurotoxin with a C-terminal 6× His-tag, BoNT/E-LC, has been cloned in a pET-9c vector and over-expressed in BL21 (DE3) cells. BoNT/E-LC was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on Ni–NTA agarose followed by exclusion chromatography using a Superdex-75 sizing column. The purified protein has very good solubility and can be stored stably at −20 °C; however, it seems to undergo auto-proteolysis when stored at temperature ⩾4–10 °C. BoNT/E-LC is active on its natural substrate, the synaptosomal associated 25 kDa protein, SNAP-25, indicating that it retains a native-like conformation and therefore can be considered as a useful tool in studying the structure/function of the catalytic light chain. Recombinant BoNT/E-LC has been crystallized under five different conditions and at various pHs. Crystals diffract to better than 2.1 A˚.

The magnitude of the oceanic reservoir age in the inland waters of the Georgia Basin and Puget Lowland of northwestern North America is inferred from radiocarbon ages on shell-wood pairs in Saanich Inlet and previously published estimates. The weighted mean oceanic reservoir correction in the early and mid Holocene is −720±90 yr, slightly smaller than, but not significantly different from, the modern value. The correction in late-glacial time is −950±50 yr. Valley-head sites yield higher reservoir values (−1200±130 yr) immediately after deglaciation. The magnitude of the gyttja reservoir effect is inferred from pairs of bulk gyttja and plant macrofossil ages from four lakes in the region. Incorporation of old carbon into basal gyttja yields ages from bulk samples that are initially about 600 yr too old. The reservoir age declines to less than 100 yr after the first millennium of lake development. When these corrections are accounted for, dates of deglaciation and late-glacial sea-level change in the study area are pushed forward in time by more than 500 yr.

However, most of these records are compromised by chronological flaws, making problematic any comparisons with climatic interpretations based on other records (e.g., GISP2 in Greenland). We report here a high-resolution pollen record with a secure chronology constrained by 26 14C dates on terrestrial macrofossils from Steel Lake, central Minnesota. About 11.2 ka cal BP (11,000 calibrated yr before present) the late-glacial Picea forest near Steel Lake was succeeded abruptly by Pinus banksiana and/or resinosa. The Pinus forest began to open 9.4 ka cal BP with the expansion of prairie taxa, and a pine parkland or savanna prevailed until about 8 ka cal BP, when Quercus replaced Pinus to become the dominant tree in the prairie areas for 4500 yr. The close chronological control permits the correlation of key vegetational changes with those at other reliably dated sites in the eastern Dakotas and in Minnesota, suggesting that the abrupt decline of the spruce forest was time-transgressive from southwest to northeast during 2000 yr, and that the development of prairie was time-transgressive in the same direction over 2600 yr. Correlation of key pollen horizons at Steel Lake with those in the high-resolution pollen profiles of Elk Lake, ca. 50 km northwest of Steel Lake, suggests that the well-known Elk Lake varve chronology for the early Holocene is about 1000 yr too young.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 8 EP - 19 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - Induced mycorrhization of sweet birch ( Betula lenta L.) by Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker & Couch, as influenced by substrate fertility, was evaluated for its effects on seedling growth and physiology. Following a brief period in seed flats, seedlings were transplanted to mine spoil where they resided for 30 months, and three nutrition regimes were imposed throughout the study by application of differing nutrient solution concentrations. High fertility suppressed mycorrhizal formation by P. tinctorius but promoted that of other mycobionts. Pisolithus mycorrhization induced substantial aboveground and belowground growth as indicated by dimensions and mass for the former and mass and length for the latter but favoring root over shoot growth overall. Furthermore, these mycorrhizae were frequently able to compensate for the growth stimulation of higher nutrient additions. Measurements of xylem pressure potential and soil water potential indicated that water uptake was enhanced by P. tinctorius during simulated drought episodes of two durations and in subsequent recovery periods. Inoculated seedlings had higher foliar concentrations of critical nutrients, especially N, and lower concentrations of potentially phytotoxic metallic elements, particularly Mn, than uninoculated seedlings, although the latter response was absent in high fertility. Spoil analyses clearly revealed the influence of the nutrition regimes but also the effects of seedling uptake on substrate chemistry, and reinforced the findings of the foliar analysis concerning suppression of metal uptake by P. tinctorius. Collectively, these results suggest that P. tinctorius can provide sweet birch an array of physiological benefits that will permit this tree species to flourish on harsh substrates such as surface mine spoils without heavy application of chemical fertilizers.

The diagnostic is sensitive to C III, C IV, and He II intrinsic emission, covering a radial region of 15 cm at the extreme edge of the outboard midplane. Thirteen chords are distributed between toroidal and poloidal views, allowing the toroidal and poloidal rotation and temperature of the plasma edge to be simultaneously measured with 10 ms resolution. Combined with the local pressure gradient and EFIT reconstructed magnetic field profile, the edge flow gives a measure of the local radial electric field. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

To facilitate the production of nanoscale specimens of these materials, pulsed laser ablation was chosen for the deposition process. The highly toxic and radioactive nature of these materials created a challenging safety environment that needed to be addressed before any work could begin. Particular attention has been paid in this respect towards our future work with plutonium, though the design structure presented here would work equally well with other nonradioactive toxic or reactive materials. The analytical capabilities of the instrument include in situ photoelectron spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The instrument design and first results will be discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Because these techniques generally require ultrahigh vacuum, corresponding studies of volatile liquid surfaces have hitherto been precluded. We describe the design and implementation of an x-ray experiment based on the use of liquid microjets, permitting the study of volatile liquid surfaces under quasi-equilibrium conditions by synchrotron-based spectroscopy. The liquid microjet temperatures are also characterized by Raman spectroscopy, which connects our structural studies with those conducted on liquid samples under equilibrium conditions. In recent experiments, we have observed and quantified the intermolecular surface relaxation of liquid water and methanol and have identified a large population of “acceptor-only” molecules at the liquid water interface. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We have built an end station for XMCD spectroscopy to study transition metals located in the active sites of proteins and inorganic model compounds. The instrument is equipped with a 6 T superconducting magnet and a liquid helium cooled sample stage designed for experiments at temperatures as low as 2.2 K and beyond 160 K. Sample heating by infrared radiation is minimized using a liquid helium cooled heat shield with 100-nm-thick Al windows. We demonstrate the capabilities of the apparatus in a total electron yield study on the model compound [(F[sub 8]–TPP)Fe–O–Cu(TMPA)][sup +]. We show that Fe and Cu are antiferromagnetically coupled by comparing the polarity of the XMCD signal at the respective L-edges. We discuss the capability of the instrument to study dilute (<1000 ppm) transition metals in proteins using partial fluorescence yield. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Exceptions are Columbia River below Bonneville Dam, Snake River below Hells Canyon Dam, lower Fraser River, and Sacramento River. Since rivers were impounded or flows regulated, once-continuous populations now isolated by natural barriers or dams often have not reproduced successfully, despite successful spawning events. Research has not adequately explained recruitment failures or why certain populations are successful. This paper proposes that submerged riparian habitat during seasonal high water is needed for early development. Where recruitment is successful, channels are complex and floodable riparian vegetation or rocky substrate is abundant. There, spawning occurs in turbulent zones upstream (1--5 km) of seasonally submerged riparian habitat, eggs can disperse into inundated habitat and adhere to newly wetted surfaces for incubation, yolk-sac larvae can move to riparian crevices for prefeeding development, feeding larvae have food-rich flooded habitat for early growth, and larvae can transition to juveniles as water recedes to permanent channels. Such habitat is lacking where recruitment is low and present only in high-flow years where recruitment is sporadic. These observations suggest that management should rehabilitate riparian zones and provide high river flows during spawning to stimulate natural recruitment.

JO - Scientific Programming JF - Scientific Programming Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 23 PB - Hindawi Publishing Corporation SN - 10589244 AB - We present a generic mobility and traffic generation framework that can be incorporated into a tool for modeling and simulating large scale ad~hoc networks. Three components of this framework, namely a mobility data generator (MDG), a graph structure generator (GSG) and an occlusion modification tool (OMT) allow a variety of mobility models to be incorporated into the tool. The MDG module generates positions of transceivers at specified time instants. The GSG module constructs the graph corresponding to the ad hoc network from the mobility data provided by MDG. The OMT module modifies the connectivity of the graph produced by GSG to allow for occlusion effects. With two other modules, namely an activity data generator (ADG) which generates packet transmission activities for transceivers and a packet activity simulator (PAS) which simulates the movement and interaction of packets among the transceivers, the framework allows the modeling and simulation of ad hoc communication networks. The design of the framework allows a user to incorporate various realistic parameters crucial in the simulation. We illustrate the utility of our framework through a comparative study of three mobility models. Two of these are synthetic models (random waypoint and exponentially correlated mobility) proposed in the literature. The third model is based on an urban population mobility modeling tool (TRANSIMS) developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. This tool is capable of providing comprehensive information about the demographics, mobility and interactions of members of a large urban population. A comparison of these models is carried out by computing a variety of parameters associated with the graph structures generated by the models. There has recently been interest in the structural properties of graphs that arise in real world systems. We examine two aspects of this for the graphs created by the mobility models: change associated with power control (range of transceivers) and variation in time as transceivers move in space.

The equilibrium is computed from external magnetic fields that are calculated numerically using the Biot-Savart law applied to a complex set of coils. These fields must be evaluated on the plasma boundary, which evolves as the equilibrium converges. The improved efficiency of the present method results from dynamically building and storing a database of magnetic field components on a grid that is determined by the changing plasma boundary itself. When possible, field values on the plasma boundary for a particular iteration are interpolated from these grid values, thus eliminating the need for further time-consuming Biot-Savart calculations. New grid points are added to the database only when the boundary moves outside the spatial range of previously computed interpolation values. This dynamical method is particularly efficient when the equilibrium calculation is embedded in an optimization loop, where evolution of the coil set requires many reevaluations of the database.

JO - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing JF - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 25 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2084 EP - 2106 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 10648275 AB - We present an automated multilevel substructuring (AMLS) method for eigenvalue computations in linear elastodynamics in a variational and algebraic setting. AMLS first recursively partitions the domain of the PDE into a hierarchy of subdomains. Then AMLS recursively generates a subspace for approximating the eigenvectors associated with the smallest eigenvalues by computing partial eigensolutions associated with the subdomains and the interfaces between them. We remark that although we present AMLS for linear elastodynamics, our formulation is abstract and applies to generic H1-elliptic bilinear forms. In the variational formulation, we define an interface mass operator that is consistent with the treatment of elastic properties by the familiar Steklov-Poincaré operator. With this interface mass operator, all of the subdomain and interface eigenvalue problems in AMLS become orthogonal projections of the global eigenvalue problem onto a hierarchy of subspaces. Convergence of AMLS is determined in the continuous setting by the truncation of these eigenspaces, independent of other discretization schemes. The goal of AMLS, in the algebraic setting, is to achieve a high level of dimensional reduction, locally and inexpensively, while balancing the errors associated with truncation and the finite element discretization. This is accomplished by matching the mesh-independent AMLS truncation error with the finite element discretization error. Our report ends with numerical experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of AMLS on a model problem and an industrial problem.

Soils were mantained under maize and grass cultivation, or ‘set-aside’ regimes, for 1 year. Solubility of Cd and its bioavailability were measured by chemical extractions or by the BIOMET bacterial biosensor system. Cadmium solubility was very low, and Cd bioavailability was barely detectable even in soils polluted with 0.36 mmol Cd kg−1. Soil microbial biomass carbon (BC) was slightly decreased and respiration was increased significantly even at the lower Cd concentration and as a consequence the metabolic quotient (qCO2) was increased, indicating a stressful condition for soil microflora. However, Cd-contaminated soils also had a lower total organic C (TOC) content and thus the microbial biomass C-to-TOC ratio was unaffected by Cd. Alkaline phosphomonoesterase, arylsulphatase and protease activities were significantly reduced in all Cd-contaminated soils whereas acid phosphomonoesterase, β-glucosidase and urease activites were unaffected by Cd. Neither changes in physiological groups of bacteria, nor of Cd resistant bacteria could be detected in numbers of the culturable bacterial community. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of the bacterial community showed slight changes in maize cropped soils containing 0.18 and 0.36 mmol Cd kg−1 soil as compared to the control. It was concluded that high Cd concentrations induced mainly physiological adaptations rather than selection for metal-resistant culturable soil microflora, regardless of Cd concentration, and that some biochemical parameters were more sensitive to stress than others.

A 21 residue long, dehydrophenylalanine-containing peptide has been de novo designed and its crystal structure determined. The apolar peptide folds into a helical hairpin supersecondary structure with two right-handed helices, connected by a tetraglycine linker. The helices of the hairpin interact with each other through a combination of C-H···O and N-H···O hydrogen bonds. The folding of the apolar peptide has been realized without the help of either metal ions or disulphide bonds. A remarkable feature of the peptide is the unanticipated occurrence of an anion binding motif in the linker region, strikingly similar in conformation and function to the “nest” motif seen in several proteins. The observation supports the view for the possible emergence of rudimentary functions over short sequence stretches in the early peptides under prebiotic conditions.

The structure reveals a topology similar to several common scaffolds for protein-protein interactions, in the absence of significant sequence similarity to these proteins. Conserved surface amino acid residues are clustered on two main surface areas, which are likely involved in mediating interactions between Ku80 and other proteins. The Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer has been shown to be involved in at least three processes, nonhomologous end joining, transcription, and telomere maintenance, and thus it needs to interact with different proteins involved in these different processes. The three-dimensional structure of the Ku80 C-terminal domain and the availability of NMR chemical shift assignments provide a basis for further investigation of the interactions between Ku80 and other proteins in these Ku-dependent cellular functions.

The images, obtained with a signal demodulation at the tip oscillation frequency and at higher harmonics, clearly show optical contrasts with a subwavelength resolution of about 30 nm. Other images recorded in the visible on a YBa2Cu3O7 crystal indicate that the tip used in our experiments is able to reveal polarization effects. We also present a near-field thermal optical microscope (NTOM) which operates without any external illumination. In this new kind of microscope, the laser source which is usually used to excite the evanescent waves, is replaced by a simple heating of the sample. The electromagnetic radiation locally scattered by the tip comes from the thermal radiation. Our results with this new technique prove a 200 nm lateral resolution.

The spectroscopic changes induced by pertechnetate were found to differ dramatically from those induced by the addition of either pure water or dilute nitric acid; however, they were found to parallel those seen when sodium phosphate was added to solutions of 1 under analogous experimental conditions. Fits of the spectroscopic titration data to a 1:1 binding profile revealed that the effective K describing the interaction of pertechnetate anion with 1 was ca. 3900±300 M -1 ; this value compares to the effective K of 23000±3000 M -1 that describes the corresponding interaction of sodium phosphate with 1 .

JO - Theoretical & Applied Genetics JF - Theoretical & Applied Genetics Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 108 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 873 EP - 880 SN - 00405752 AB - Twenty-two highly variable SSR markers were developed in Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] from five SSR-enriched genomic libraries. Fifteen PCR primer pairs amplified a single codominant locus, while seven primer pairs occasionally amplified two loci. The Mendelian inheritance of all 22 SSRs was confirmed via segregation analyses in several Douglas-fir families. The mean observed heterozygosity and the mean number of alleles per locus were 0.855 (SE=0.020) and 23 (SE=1.6), respectively. Twenty markers were used in genetic linkage analysis and mapped to ten known linkage groups. Because of their high polymorphism and unambiguous phenotypes, 15 single-locus markers were selected as the most suitable for DNA fingerprinting and parentage analysis. Only three SSRs were sufficient to achieve an average probability of exclusion from paternity of 0.998 in a Douglas-fir seed orchard block consisting of 59 parents.

Sci. Policy 4 (2001) 377] found that fleet average emissions increased or “deteriorated” substantially between biennial I/M test cycles, and that a large fraction of the vehicles that initially failed and later passed in the first I/M cycle failed again two years later. In this paper we study vehicles that reported for a second I/M cycle well before their required biennial cycle, often because the subject vehicle was about to be sold to a new owner, in the decentralized California ASM program and the centralized Phoenix IM240 program. Because the off-cycle tests occurred at different times after the initial cycle, they allow the analysis of repeat failure rates over the shorter term (less than two years). We found that in California 20% of fail–pass vehicles, and 5% of initial-pass vehicles, failed the initial test of their next I/M cycle occurring within three months of completing the previous cycle; the failure rates were even higher in the centralized Phoenix program. This suggests that highly variable emissions, and not test fraud, were the cause of the large number of vehicles failing so soon after completing a previous I/M cycle. According to a model, as much as 74% of the vehicles that failed their initial test in Phoenix passed a retest because of emissions variability, and not because any repairs were performed. Vehicles with highly variable emissions may not only fail and pass a subsequent retest without repair, but also are likely to fail again if tested shortly thereafter. A large number of these vehicles may explain the apparent rapid increase or “deterioration” in fleet emissions observed in multiple years of I/M test result data.

A genotyping array targeting four virulence factor genes in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) was tested. The arrays were clearly able to differentiate between E. coli O157:H7 genotypes and E. coli O91:H2. Non-pathogenic E. coli and non-target organisms were not detected on this array. In the second study, an hsp70 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array for specific Cryptosporidium parvum detection was constructed to differentiate between principle genotypes. SNPs, and hence differences between genotypes, were easily detected on this type of array. In the third study an array for Helicobacter pylori was tested for simultaneous SNP discrimination and presence or absence of virulence factor genes. Results from this study showed that both SNP discrimination for some conserved genes, and the presence or absence of virulence factor genes was possible. In the fourth study, multiplexing was achieved by direct hybridization and detection of mRNA to the array. For highly expressed genes, visible signal was detected at 312.5 ng of total RNA, indicating that these new methods may have sufficient environmental sensitivity without the need to perform PCR.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/03/02/ VL - 43 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2209 EP - 2216 SN - 00062960 AB - Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins to humans and cause paralysis by blocking neurotransmitter release at the presynaptic nerve terminals. The toxicity involves four steps, viz., binding to neuronal cells, internalization, translocation, and catalytic activity. While the catalytic activity is a zinc endopeptidase activity on the SNARE complex proteins, the translocation is believed to be a pH-dependent process allowing the translocation domain to change its conformation to penetrate the endosomal membrane. Here, we report the crystal structures of botulinum neurotoxin type B at various pHs and of an ape form of the neurotoxin, and discuss the role of metal ions and the effect of pH variation in the biological activity. Except for the perturbation of a few side chains, the conformation of the catalytic domain is unchanged in the zinc-depleted apotoxin, suggesting that zinc's role is catalytic. We have also identified two calcium ions in the molecule and present biochemical evidence to show that they play a role in the translocation of the light chain through the membrane.

We have witnessed remarkable progress in the past two years in settling long standing problems in neutrino physics and uncovering the first evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model in nearly 30 years. This manuscript briefly reviews this recent progress in the field of neutrino physics and highlights several significant experimental arenas and topics for the coming decade of particular interest. These highlighted experiments include the precision determination of oscillation parameters including θ13, θ12, Δm122 and Δm232 as well as a number of fundamental properties are likely to be probed included nature of the neutrino (Majorana versus Dirac), the number of neutrino families and the neutrino’s absolute mass.

The charged particle multiplicity is compared from measurements at the AGS, SPS, and RHIC. Collective motion due to a build-up of pressure is discussed, with implications on estimates of the energy density of the produced medium. The suppression of J/ψ and the enhancement of low-mass dileptons observed in experiments at the SPS are highlighted. The high pT phenomena at RHIC are discussed in some detail. The suppression of high pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions is shown, as well as the absence of such a suppression in d+Au collisions.

Transverse momentum distributions of &pai;-+ &pai;+, K-+ K+ and p + &bmacr;p produced at midrapidity are presented for the 15% most central Au-Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The momentum ranges for measured particles are from 30 to 50 MeV/c for pions, 90 to 130 MeV/c for kaons and 140 to 210 MeV/c for protons and antiprotons. The measurement method is briefly described. A comparison of the pT spectra to experimental results at higher particle momenta and to model predictions is discussed.

The high pT yields of charged hadrons in the most central collisions show a strong suppression when compared to expected binary-scaled yields from nucleon-nucleon collisions or semi-peripheral collisions.

SN - 14346044 AB - Transverse momentum spectra of charged hadrons with pT < 6 GeV/c have been measured near mid-rapidity (0.2 < η< 1.4) by the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC in Au + Au and d + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The spectra for different collision centralities are compared to p+ &bmacr;p collisions at the same energy. The resulting nuclear modification factor for central Au + Au collisions shows evidence of strong suppression of charged hadrons in the high-pT region (> 2 GeV/c). In contrast, the d + Au nuclear modification factor exhibits no suppression of the high-pT yields. These measurements suggest a large energy loss of the high-pT particles in the highly interacting medium created in the central Au + Au collisions. The lack of suppression in d + Au collisions suggests that it is unlikely that initial state effects can explain the suppression in the central Au + Au collisions.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/03/03/ VL - 126 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2632 EP - 2639 SN - 00027863 AB - InP quantum rods were synthesized via the reaction of monodispersed colloidal indium droplets with phosphide ions. In0 droplets, which do not act as a catalyst but rather a reactant, are completely consumed. The excess electrons that are produced in this reaction are most likely transferred to an oxide layer at the indium surface. For the synthesis of InP quantum rods with a narrow size distribution, a narrow size distribution of In0 particles is also required because each indium droplet serves as a template to strictly limit the lateral growth of individual InP nanocrystals. Free-standing quantum rods, 60, 120, or 150 Å in diameter, with aspect ratios of 1.6-3.5, and without the residual metallic catalyst at the rod tip, were synthesized from the diluted transparent solution of metallic indium particles. The same approach was used to synthesize InAs quantum rods. A photoactive InP-TiO2 composite was also prepared by the same chemical procedure; InP nanocrystals grow as well-defined spherical or slightly elongated shapes on the TiO2 surface.

DNA-PK also participates in protection of mammalian telomeres, the natural ends of chromosomes. Here we investigate whether the kinase activity of DNA-PK is similarly required for effective telomere protection. DNA-PK proficient mouse cells were exposed to a highly specific inhibitor of DNA-PK phosphorylation designated IC86621. Chromosomal end-to-end fusions were induced in a concentration-dependent manner, demonstrating that the telomere end-protection role of DNA-PK requires its kinase activity. These fusions were uniformly chromatid-type, consistent with a role for DNA-PK in capping telomeres after DNA replication. Additionally, fusions involved exclusively telomeres produced via leading-strand DNA synthesis. Unexpectedly, the rate of telomeric fusions induced by IC86621 exceeded that which occurs spontaneously in DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) mutant cells by up to 110-fold. One explanation, that IC86621 might inhibit other, as yet unknown proteins, was ruled out when the drug failed to induce fusions in DNA-PKcs knock-out mouse cells. IC86621 did not induce fusions in Ku70 knock-out cells suggesting the drug requires the holoenzyme to be effective. ATM also is required for effective chromosome end protection. IC86621 increased fusions in ATM knock-out cells suggesting DNA-PK and ATM act in different telomere pathways. These results indicate that the kinase activity of DNA-PK is crucial to reestablishing a protective terminal structure, specifically on telomeres replicated by leading-strand DNA synthesis.

Although the role of ATM in the cellular response to ionizing radiation has been well characterized, its role in response to other DNA-damaging agents is less well defined. We previously showed that genistein, a naturally occurring isoflavonoid, induced increased ATM protein kinase activity, ATM-dependent phosphorylation of p53 on serine 15 and activation of the DNA-binding properties of p53. Here, we show that genistein also induces phosphorylation of p53 at serines 6, 9, 20, 46, and 392, and that genistein-induced accumulation and phosphorylation of p53 is reduced in two ATM-deficient human cell lines. Also, we show that genistein induces phosphorylation of ATM on serine 1981 and phosphorylation of histone H2AX on serine 139. The related bioflavonoids, daidzein and biochanin A, did not induce either phosphorylation of p53 or ATM at these sites. Like genistein, quercetin induced phosphorylation of ATM on serine 1981, and ATM-dependent phosphorylation of histone H2AX on serine 139; however, p53 accumulation and phosphorylation on serines 6, 9, 15, 20, 46, and 392 occurred in ATM-deficient cells, indicating that ATM is not required for quercetin-induced phosphorylation of p53. Our data suggest that genistein and quercetin induce different DNA-damage induced signaling pathways that, in the case of genistein, are highly ATM-dependent but, in the case of quercetin, may be ATM-dependent only for some downstream targets.

Here, using random shotgun sequencing of DNA from a natural acidophilic biofilm, we report reconstruction of near-complete genomes of Leptospirillum group II and Ferroplasma type II, and partial recovery of three other genomes. This was possible because the biofilm was dominated by a small number of species populations and the frequency of genomic rearrangements and gene insertions or deletions was relatively low. Because each sequence read came from a different individual, we could determine that single-nucleotide polymorphisms are the predominant form of heterogeneity at the strain level. The Leptospirillum group II genome had remarkably few nucleotide polymorphisms, despite the existence of low-abundance variants. The Ferroplasma type II genome seems to be a composite from three ancestral strains that have undergone homologous recombination to form a large population of mosaic genomes. Analysis of the gene complement for each organism revealed the pathways for carbon and nitrogen fixation and energy generation, and provided insights into survival strategies in an extreme environment.

The surface characteristics are preserved by repositioning mesh vertices in a series of element-based local parametric spaces such that the vertices remain on the original discrete surface. The movement of the mesh vertices is driven by a non-linear numerical optimization process. Two optimization approaches are described, one which improves the quality of elements as much as possible and the other which improves element quality but also keeps the new mesh as close as possible to the original mesh.

The first solution contained 40% methanol and no buffer. The second contained an aqueous acetate buffer at Cbuffer=0.20 M and pH=5.9. In both cases, 33 isotherm data points were acquired by frontal analysis (FA), to achieve an accurate description of the isotherms in the concentration range between 1.54×10−3 and 1.54×10−1 mol/l of propranolol. The isotherms obtained were best described by a bi-Langmuir and a bi-Moreau isotherm model, depending on whether the mobile phase was buffered or not. This shows that the adsorption of propranolol takes place on two different types of sites, a behavior similar to the one already observed with phenol and caffeine on the same column. The presence of the buffer in the mobile phase drastically changes the adsorption mechanism of propranolol. Weak adsorbate–adsorbate interactions (two and three times RT on the low- and the high-energy sites, respectively) take place in the absence of buffer but vanish when the mobile phase is buffered. As expected, the adsorption constants on the abundant low-energy sites with or without buffer are comparable because the mobile phase composition was adjusted to give similar retention times in the two cases. On the other hand, the adsorption of propranolol on the high-energy sites is stronger in presence of the buffer. The difference probably comes from ion-pair formation in the adsorbed phase between the propranolol cation and the acetate anion. The change in total saturation capacity of the adsorbent (22%) compared to that for phenol is explained by the difference in methanol content of the mobile phase.

The action of ATP-dependent clamp loader complexes is required to open the circular clamps and to load them onto DNA. The crystal structure of the pentameric clamp loader complex from Escherichia coli (the γ complex), determined in the absence of nucleotides, revealed a highly asymmetric and extended form of the clamp loader. Consideration of this structure suggested that a compact and more symmetrical inactive form may predominate in solution in the absence of crystal packing forces. This model has the N-terminal domains of the δ and δ′ subunits of the clamp loader close to each other in the inactive state, with the clamp loader opening in a crab-claw-like fashion upon ATP-binding. We have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to investigate the structural changes in the E. coli clamp loader complex that result from ATP-binding and interactions between the clamp loader and the β clamp. FRET measurements using fluorophores placed in the N-terminal domains of the δ and δ′ subunits indicate that the distances between these subunits in solution are consistent with the previously crystallized extended form of the clamp loader. Furthermore, the addition of nucleotide and clamp to the labeled clamp loader does not appreciably alter these FRET distances. Our results suggest that the changes that occur in the relative positioning of the δ and δ′ subunits when ATP binds to and activates the complex are subtle, and that crab-claw-like movements are not a significant component of the clamp loader mechanism.

Two different pathways for the attachment of electron-donating or electronwithdrawing aryl groups to the 5-position of the quinolinolate ligand via Suzuki coupling were developed. A successful tuning in the emission color was achieved: the emission wavelength was found to correlate with the Hammett constant of the respective substituents, providing a powerful strategy for prediction of the optical properties of new electroluminophores.

Mechanical fatigue tests were conducted under R=−1 conditions on specimens machined at different locations in the casting at total strain amplitudes ranging from 0.02% to 0.5%. Fracture surfaces of specimens that failed in the high cycle fatigue regime with lives spanning two orders of magnitude were examined using a scanning electron microscope. The difference in lives for the Mg specimens was primarily attributed to a drastic difference in nucleation site sizes, which ranged from several hundred μm’s to several mm’s. A secondary effect may include the influence of average secondary dendrite arm spacing and average grain size. At low crack tip driving forces (Kmax<3.5 MPa √ of m) intact particles and boundaries act as barriers to fatigue crack propagation, and consequently the cracks tended to avoid the interdendritic regions and progress through the cells, leaving a fine striated pattern in this single-phase region. At high driving forces (Kmax>3.5 MPam) intact particles and boundaries act as barriers to fatigue crack propagation, and consequently the cracks tended to avoid the interdendritic regions and progress through the cells, leaving a fine striated pattern in this single-phase region. At high driving forces (Kmax>3.5 MPa √ of m) fractured particles and boundary decohesion created weak paths for fatigue crack propagation, and consequently the cracks followed the interdendritic regions, leaving serrated markings as the crack progressed through this heterogeneous region. The ramifications of the results on future modeling efforts are discussed in detail.

We compare doping in organic and inorganic semiconductors and show that the superlinear increase in conductivity with doping density should be a universal characteristic of excitonic semiconductors. The binding energy of the dopant electron to its conjugate cation in highly ordered perylene diimide films controls the free carrier density. The binding energy decreases with increasing dopant concentration because the neutral dopants increase the polarizability of the film. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The addition of ferrocene, an effective precursor for in situ Fe formation, was found to enhance carbon nanotube growth rates and extend growth to 3.25 mm thick carbon nanotube films. Ferrocene was introduced into the gas stream by thermal evaporation concurrently with acetylene using a specially constructed source. The key factor facilitating the growth of thick carbon nanotube films was the independent and precise control of the ferrocene amount in the feedstock. The carbon nanotube films were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of the carbon nanotube growth with ferrocene exhibits a steep drop at high substrate temperatures and a loss of vertical alignment at 900 °C. The negative temperature coefficient of the growth rate suggests that the reaction mechanism of vertically aligned carbon nanotube growth is governed by a heterogeneous intermediate step. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The cantilever was twisted laterally without any normal load by inducing the Lorentz force. An electrical current was applied to the cantilever in a magnetic field, and the torsional resonance frequency of the cantilever was obtained. Based on the observation that the torsional resonance frequency is the same as the second resonance peak of the thermally vibrating cantilever, the ratio of deflection spring constant to torsional spring constant is easily obtained from a simple relationship. For the cantilever used here, the torsional spring constant is 11.24 N/m, 28 times greater than the deflection spring constant. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

These potentials, VRT(ASP-W)II and VRT(ASP-W)III, are fits of the highly detailed ASP-W (anisotropic site potential with Woermer dispersion) ab initio potential to (D[sub 2]O)[sub 2] microwave and far-infrared data, and along with the SAPT5s (five-site symmetry adapted perturbation theory) potentials, are the most accurate water dimer potential surfaces in the literature. The results from VRT(ASP-W)II and III are compared to those from the original ASP-W potential, the SAPT5s family of potentials, and several bulk water potentials. Only VRT(ASP-W)III and the spectroscopically “tuned” SAPT5st (with N-body induction included) accurately reproduce the vibrational ground-state structures of water clusters up to the hexamer. Finally, the importance of many-body induction and three-body dispersion are examined, and it is shown that the latter can have significant effects on water cluster properties despite its small magnitude. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Using both master equation and rate equation formalisms, we show that, for surface coverages at which the surface immobilized molecules interact, barriers to penetration create a distribution of target molecule concentrations within the adsorbed layer. By approximately enumerating probe and target conformations, we estimate the probability of overlap between complementary probe and target regions as a function of probe density and chain length. In agreement with experiments, we find that as probe molecules interact more strongly, fewer nucleation sites become accessible and binding rates are diminished relative to those in solution. Nucleation sites near the grafted end of the probes are least accessible; thus targets which preferentially bind to this region show more drastic rate reductions than those that bind near the free end of the probe. The implications of these results for DNA-based biosensors are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The present approach employs a Monte-Carlo solution of the Liouville master equation for the joint probability density of the ionic motion and the electronic population of the projectile and the target surface. It includes single as well as double particle-hole (de)excitation processes and incorporates electron correlation effects through the conditional dynamics of population strings. For slow projectiles and normal incidence, the ionic motion depends sensitively on the interplay between image acceleration towards the surface and repulsion by an ensemble of positive hole charges in the surface (“trampoline effect”). For Ne10+ we find that image acceleration is dominant and no collective backscattering high above the surface takes place.

Ion-beam-defect processes are considerably more complex in these wurtzite semiconductors than in the case of both elemental and group-III–V cubic semiconductors. This brief review focuses on our recent studies of the following aspects of ion-beam-defect processes: (i) effects of implanted species and the density of collision cascades, (ii) the nature of ion-beam-produced planar defects in GaN, (iii) defect production in GaN by swift heavy ions, (iv) blistering of H-implanted GaN, (v) electrical isolation of GaN and ZnO, (vi) the effect of Al and In content on defect processes in III-nitrides, and (vii) structural damage in ZnO with an intriguing effect of the formation of an anomalous defect peak. Emphasis is given to unusual ion-beam-defect processes and to the physical mechanisms underlying them.

In both cases, the physical properties were calculated using existing published force fields not specifically tuned to the problem at hand. No assessment of the accuracy of our predictions was made until the experimental values for each problem set were announced at the end of the competition.Liquid densities were computed for the Part 2 problem set using the Towhee Monte Carlo molecular simulation program and the Amber96, Charmm22, Compass, and OPLS-aa force fields. No single force field was able to provide parameters for all the molecules in the problem set, but the Amber96 force field had the best results of the four tested and a reasonable coverage of the problem set.Viscosities were computed for the Part 3 problem set using the LAMMPS molecular dynamics code. The Towhee program was used to generate equilibrium starting configurations. Only one force field, OPLS-aa, was used. The predicted viscosities showed average deviation of about 35% from the experimental values. In cases where the experimental density is known, substantially better accuracy can be expected.

Metallography, X-ray diffraction, tensile test, and recrystallization studies indicate that the Co–17 at.% Mn alloy has a two-phase (FCC/HCP) structure with an ultimate tensile strength of 670 MPa and 40% elongation. The recrystallization temperature is approximately 620 °C. The plane strain fracture toughness (KIC) for AlMgB14 was estimated using the Palmquist method, both with and without the Co–Mn binder phase alloy. Results show that the fracture toughness of the monolithic boride without binder ranges from 3 to 4 MPa √m, which is increased to 7–9 MPa √m upon addition of the binder. The high ductility and tensile strength of the Co–Mn solid solution alloy, combined with its excellent wettability on boron-based compounds is expected to make this binder composition compatible with other boride ceramics.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PPA) exhibits a low critical solution temperature (LCST) transition from 30 to 45 degree Celsius. The polymer is hydrophilic and soluble in water below the LCST, but becomes hydrophobic and forms a macroscopic coacervate phase above that temperature due to the fluctuation of hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Conjugation with gold nanoparticles requires that the polymer should bear a thiol group at one terminus. Using S-benzyl dithiobenzoate as the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer, researchers prepared a PPA homopolymer terminated with thioester groups. Gold nanoparticles coated with thiol-terminated PPA show remarkable temperature sensitivity as manifested in their optical transmittance switching property at 600 nm.

The magnetoresistance changes sign with temperature, demonstrating a new mechanism for colossal magnetoresistance that is particularly sensitive to low magnetic fields. The divergence between the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization in Zn0.95-Cu0.05Cr2Se4 is suggestive of a spin glass-like state below 25 Kelvin.

The hydride donor abilities of BzNADH and C5H5(Pme3)(CO)2H differ by 13 and 24 kcal/mol, respectively, from those reported previously for these compounds in acetonitrile. These results require significant revisions of the hydricities reported for related NADH analogues and metal hydrides. These compounds are moderate hydride donors as compared to previously determined compounds.

Minimally invasive analysis of single live MCF-7 cells for caspase-9 activity is demonstrated using the optical sensor which employs a modification of an immunochemical assay format for the immobilization of nonfluorescent enzyme substrate, Leucine- GlutamicAcid-Histidine-AsparticAcid-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (LEHD-AMC). LEHD-AMC covalently attached on the nanoprobe tip of an optical sensor is cleaved during apoptosis by caspase-9 generating free AMC. An evanescent field is used to excite cleaved AMC and the resulting fluorescence signal is detected. By quantitatively monitoring the changes in fluorescence signals, caspase-9 activity within a single living MCF-7 cell was detected. By comparing of the fluorescence signals from apoptotic cells induced by photodynamic treatment and nonapoptotic cells, we successfully detected caspase-9 activity, which indicates the onset of apoptosis in the cells.

Morphology changes of the monolayer caused by the laser pump pulse are monitored by transmission electron microscopy. At low pump power, the monolayer maintains its structural integrity. Hot electrons induced by the pump pulse decay through electron–phonon (e–ph) coupling inside the nanocrystals with a decay constant that is similar to the value for bulk films. At high pump power, irreversible particle aggregation and sintering occur in the nanocrystal monolayer, which cause damping and peak shifting of the transient bleach signal.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/03/11/ VL - 108 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1746 EP - 1752 SN - 10895639 AB - Reactions of C2H with isobutane (k1), 1-butene (k2), isobutylene (k3), 1,3-butadiene (k4), methyl cyanide (k5), ethyl cyanide (k6), and propyl cyanide (k7) are studied at low temperature using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus. The C2H radical is prepared by 193-nm photolysis of acetylene, and the C2H concentration is monitored using CH(A 2Δ) chemiluminescence from the C2H + O2 reaction. The rate constants at low and high temperatures are k1 = (1.3 ± 0.3) × 10-10 and (1.0 ± 0.2) × 10-10 for isobutane, k2 = (2.1 ± 0.4) × 10-10 and (2.2 ± 0.4) × 10-10 for 1-butene, k3 = (1.4 ± 0.3) × 10-10 and (1.2 ± 0.2) × 10-10 for isobutylene, and k4 = (2.9 ± 0.6) × 10-10 and (3.3 ± 0.6) × 10-10 for 1,3-butadiene at T = 104 and 296 K, respectively (in units of cm3 molecule-1 s-1). Comparison with existing data shows a trend of a decrease in activation energy with increasing size of the hydrocarbon chain. For these reactions of hydrocarbons containing four carbon atoms, the activation energy is zero within experimental uncertainty, and the rate constants do not depend on temperature in the 104−296 K temperature range. The rate constants for C2H reactions with methyl cyanide, ethyl cyanide, and propyl cyanide are measured at three temperatures, 104, 165, and 298 K. Measured rate constants are fit to an Arrhenius expression and are k5 = (1.8 ± 0.35) × 10-11 exp(−766 ± 38/T), k6 = (1.5 ± 0.3) × 10-11 exp(−145 ± 10/T), and k7 = (2.1 ± 0.4) × 10-11 exp(−51 ± 4/T) (in units of cm3 molecule-1 s-1, T is in Kelvin). At T = 296 K, k3, k5, k6, and k7 are measured as a function of total pressure and show no pressure dependence in the 0.6−8 Torr (0.08−1.07 kPa) pressure range. Results from this work are compared with the results of previous investigations of C2H reactions at low temperature and are discussed in relation to the atmospheres of Saturn and Titan.

At smaller scale, this effect is larger and could reach a factor of several. Such an effect must be considered for an unbiased interpretation of the SZ data. Although the magnetic effect on the SZ power spectrum is very similar to that of radiative cooling, it is measurable by multiband cosmic microwave background polarization measurement.

Recent progress in the production and cooling of intense beams of fully stripped Au and U in the SIS/ESR synchrotron storage ring at GSI, Darmstadt has made it possible to obtain precision spectroscopy of these ions. A fully stripped beam of either Au79+ or U92+ ions is injected, stored and cooled in the ESR and interacts with an internal gas target. The capture of an electron and the subsequent population of a 2p or 3p state will lead to a decay by either Lyman or Balmer X-ray emission. Although measurements of the 1 s Lamb shift in U with Ge ionization detectors accurate to ∼3% have provided a test of QED for the high Z domain, the experimental errors (±13 eV) are about one order of magnitude larger than the accuracy theoreticians presently claim (±1 eV). We present the results from initial broad band experiments using NTD Ge microcalorimeters to measure the 2 s Lamb Shift in Au and U at the ESR. The broad band coverage of the microcalorimeter makes it possible to reduce the systematic uncertainties in the Doppler corrections while the high-energy resolution reduces the statistical error in the absolute energy calibration.

Presently, there is an operating cryogenic system, working electronics, a functional data acquisition and analysis system, passive shielding, an active muon veto, and 12 ZIP detectors. Six of the 12 ZIP detectors have been tested in situ and are fully operational with acceptable noise profiles. CDMS is in the process of commissioning the experiment and expects to be making a background measurement by the end of summer 2003.

The project Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE), proposed as a natural extension of MI-DBD, will be a tightly packed array of 1000 TeO2 bolometers, each being a cube 5 cm on a side with a mass of 790 g. The array will consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a square of 5 towers by 5 towers, each containing 10 layers of 4 crystals. A single CUORE tower has been constructed as a smaller scale experiment called CUORICINO. The technical feasibility of CUORE is now being tested in CUORICINO, running since few weeks. The CUORICINO experiment consists of 44 TeO2 detectors 5×5×5 cm3 and 18 TeO2 detectors 3×3×6 cm3 for a total mass of approximately 41 kg. An analysis of the detector performances is presented together with the new limit obtained on neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te.

We find that the energy resolution does not always degrade with increasing energy. The best energy resolution of 5.7±0.9 eV at 6.4 keV is obtained, which is possibly even better than the baseline width of 6.5±0.2 eV. Assuming that the noise level is determined by the noise spectrum NS(f;R∼R+dR(E)) considering the resistance change of dR(E), instead of NS(f;R) at the operating point, these results may be explained by the fact that the noise decreases at the higher TES resistance. The pulse variation appears to have a minimum at a certain resistance of R+dR(E)≃48 mΩ, and the best energy resolution for each line is obtained at such an operating point, respectively. The pulse variation could be enhanced when the fluctuation of the TES sensitivity α is large at R+dR(E).

We find that the sensitivity α≡R/T dR/dT of the TES varies significantly along the superconducting-to-normal transition that the bias point traverses during a pulse. Furthermore, α is reduced significantly during a pulse compared to its equilibrium value calculated from the DC characteristics. This leads to an overestimate of the expected energy resolution when basing the prediction on the equilibrium sensitivity.

The TES instrument will operate in the ∼500–1500 eV EUV/soft X-ray bandpass, obtaining ∼3 eV energy-resolved spectra at ∼6.25 arcsec image resolution with a count rate of ∼1000 photons/sec/pixel. Over a typical observation period of ∼360 sec, we will raster scan over a 0.6×0.6 arcmin field of view to obtain a 6×6 pixel image containing true EUV/soft X-ray spectroheliograms of a solar active region. Using these observations, we can directly determine composition, electron density and thermal differential emission measure of large active region loops in order to constrain models of heating mechanisms and accurately measure the thermal morphology of these structures. In the current analysis, we present an initial instrument concept and discuss some of the mission science goals.

We have designed and built a prototype antenna-coupled bolometer pixel. This design uses a double slot dipole antenna on a silicon hemispherical lens, fed with superconducting niobium microstrip. Microstrip filters are used to define the frequency band of the optical response, which is centered at 217 GHz with 40% bandwidth. The microstrip is terminated into a load resistor on a silicon nitride suspension, adjacent to a TES which is used to measure the dissipated power.We will discuss our progress in the development of the prototype pixel chips as well as the baseline design of a bolometer array for POLARBEAR, a CMB polarization experiment.

However, readout of these arrays remains a major instrumental challenge. We address this challenge using frequency-domain multiplexing of signals from an array of superconducting transition-edge sensors (TES). Each TES sensor is connected in series with an LC tuned circuit and biased with an alternating current at a selected frequency, ranging from 380 kHz to 1 MHz.The signal from each sensor amplitude-modulates its respective bias current. The LC filter reduces the bandwidth of the Johnson noise from the remaining sensors. The signals are combined at a current summing node and measured with a single superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) array (100 elements). We have developed a custom SQUID controller with a measured slew rate of 107 Φ0/s at 1 MHz.We designed and fabricated photolithographed LC filters. With these filters we have demonstrated multiplexing with two TES sensors and are preparing to scale up to 32 sensors.

The CABBAGE eliminates the AC carrier significantly, thus enables us to study the AC responses of the TES with high sensitivity. We tested two kinds of TES devices operating at 110 and 440 mK, respectively. With the 110 mK device biased with 25 kHz, an energy resolution of 28 eV is obtained for Mn Kα line. On the other hand, we multiplexed the signals from two 440 mK device biased with 50 and 20 kHz, respectively, and obtained 167 and 271 eV energy resolutions. Even at the balance point of the bridge, AC signal did not disappear and odd-order harmonics were observed. They are considered to arise from the current dependence of the TES resistance, which is characterized by β≡d log R/d log I. Numerical solution for the CABBAGE response can reproduce the experimental results well if β=0.24±0.02. Since the harmonics may cause severe problem in the SQUID operation even after attenuated by a band-pass filter, especially at high bias frequency operation such as several hundred kHz, it is important to make β small.

Two areas where they have found initial application are X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). In synchrotron-based fluorescence-detected XAS cryogenic detectors are used to examine the role of metals in biological systems by measuring their oxidation states and ligand symmetries. In TOF-MS cryogenic detectors increase the sensitivity for biomolecule detection and identification for masses above ∼50 kDa, and thus enable TOF-MS on large protein complexes or even entire viruses. More recently, cryogenic detectors have been proposed as optical sensors for fluorescence signals from biomarkers. We discuss the potential for cryogenic detectors in biological research, as well as the challenges the technology faces.

The present paper gives a detailed analysis of the common structural features of these two fcc phases. They are both built from a similar building block consisting of tetrahedrally packed icosahedra. They also have shelled local structures similar to the first two shells of the Bergman-type clusters found in many icosahedral quasicrystals. Therefore the Bergman-type clusters probably play an important role in amorphous phase formation. Because of topological close packing inside dual-intergrown icosahedra, characteristic of Bergman clusters, the atomic radius ratios of the first- and second-shell atoms with respect to the central atom are nearly equal and fall in the range 1.1-1.2.

A search was made for isolated tracks coming from hadronic tau decays. Observables based on the internal jet structure were exploited to discriminate between tau decays and quark- or gluon-induced jets. Three tau candidates were found, while 0.40+0.12-0.13 were expected from Standard Model processes, such as charged current deep inelastic scattering and single -boson production. To search for heavy-particle decays, a more restrictive selection was applied to isolate tau leptons produced together with a hadronic final state with high transverse momentum. Two candidate events survive, while 0.20±0.05 events are expected from Standard Model processes.

Following the same procedure as in the previous analyses for scalar and pseudo-scalar mesons, we derive the bound-state equations of a q&qmacr; system in the vector channel. We include the lowest order effects of the vector interaction. The resulting transverse and longitudinal components of the bound-state equation look different from each other. But eventually after imposing an appropriate cutoff, one finds these two are identical, giving the same mass and the same (spin-independent) light-cone wavefunction. Mass of the vector meson decreases as one increases the strength of the vector interaction.

We show that taking properly into account the flavor structure of relevant SU(3) representations for arbitrary number of colors enhances the nonleading term by an additional factor of Nc, making the cancellation consistent with the Nc counting. Moreover, we show that, for the same reason, Θ+ width is suppressed by a group-theoretical factor O(1/Nc) with respect to Δ and discuss the Nc dependence of the phase space factors for these two decays.

Successful deposition and evaluation of a dodecanethiol MPN phase within a 1.3 m long, 100 μm×100 μm square capillary is reported. The thickness of the MPN phase was evaluated using SEM analysis. An average thickness of 15 nm along the capillary walls was determined. While the film depth along the walls was very uniform, the corner depths were greater with the largest observed depth being 430 nm. Overall, an efficient chromatographic system was obtained with a minimum reduced plate height, hmin, of 1.2 for octane (k=0.22). Characterization of the MPN column was completed using four compound classes (alkanes, alcohols, ketones, and aromatics) that were used to form a seven-component mixture with a 2-s separation. A mixture consisting of a nerve agent simulant in a sample containing analytes that may commonly interfere with detection was also separated in only 2 s, much faster than a similar separation previously reported using a μGC system requiring 50 s. A comparison of the MPN stationary phase to phases employed in previously reported μGC systems is also made. Application of the square capillary MPN column for a high-speed separation as the second column of a comprehensive 2-D gas chromatography system (GC×GC) was also explored.

Unreasonably low cleanup criteria for radionuclide concentrations in these media thus can lead to unnecessary excavation, transport, and disposal elsewhere, all of which magnify costs and cause loss of habitat for fish and wildlife, as well as reduced biodiversity. Similar contrasts exist for the Hanford Site in Washington, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, the Nevada Test Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, and other large DOE properties.

In silicate glasses, the network formers are based on SiO[sub4] tetrahedra interconnected through oxygen atoms at the corners. Conventional wisdom implies that alkaline and alkalineearth orthosilicate materials cannot be vitrified, because they do not contain sufficient network-forming SiO[sub2] to establish the needed interconnectivity. We studied a bulk magnesium orthosilicate glass obtained by containerless melting and cooling. We found that the role of network former was largely taken on by corner and edge sharing of highly distorted, ionic Mg-O species that adopt 4-, 5-, and 6-coordination with oxygen. The results suggest that similar glassy phases may be found in the containerless environment of interstellar space.

The mechanisms of synthesis are poorly understood but are of great interest for engineering novel materials. We use spectromicroscopy to show that microbially generated submicrometer-diameter iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) filaments contain polysaccharides, providing an explanation for the formation of akaganeite pseudo-single crystals with aspect ratios of ∼1000:1. We infer that the cells extrude the polysaccharide strands to localize FeOOH precipitation in proximity to the cell membrane to harness the proton gradient for energy generation. Characterization of organic compounds with high spatial resolution, correlated with mineralogical information, should improve our understanding of biomineralization mechanisms.

The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) in Richiand, Washington, is the home of a research facility set up by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). There are six main research facilities housed in the EMSL, all of which host visiting researchers. Several of these facilities also participate in the EMSL collaboratory, a remote-access capability supported by EMSL operations funds. Of these, the High-Field Magnetic Resonance Facility (HFMRF) and Molecular Science Computing Facility (MSCF) have a significant number of their users performing remote work. Remote operation has the greatest benefits for experiments that do not require frequent sample changes.

Live and dead Escherichia coli were concentrated and selectively released by applying stepped DC voltages across a microchannel containing an array of insulating posts etched in glass. The only electrodes present were two platinum wires placed in the inlet and outlet reservoirs, producing mean electric fields of up to 200 V/mm across the insulators. The cells were labeled with Syto 9 and propidium iodide and imaged through a fluorescent microscope. Cell trapping and release were controlled by modifying the relative responses of electrokinesis and DEP by adjusting the magnitude of the applied voltage. Dead cells were observed to have significantly lower dielectrophoretic mobility than live cells, whereas the electrokinetic mobilities of live and dead cells were indistinguishable. The locations of the bands of differentially trapped cells were consistent with predictions. In addition, cells were selectively trapped and concentrated against backgrounds of 1- and 0.2-μm carboxylate-modified polystyrene particles. This first application of iDEP for simultaneous live/dead bacteria separation and concentration illustrates its potential as a front-end method for bacterial analysis.

In spite of very different morphology and crystallinity, the optical properties and chemical composition of the two types of microstructures are very similar. The structures formed with femtosecond (fs) pulses are covered with a disordered nanocrystalline surface layer less than 1 μm thick, while those formed with nanosecond (ns) pulses have very little disorder. Both ns-laser-formed and fs-laser-formed structures absorb near-infrared (1.1–2.5 μm) radiation strongly and have roughly 0.5% sulfur impurities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In this regime, the strain profile displays several local maxima above the embedded island. The regions with local strain maxima serve as nucleation centers for growth of surface islands under appropriate growth conditions, resulting in locally well-organized surface islands above the embedded island. Our theoretical results are in excellent agreement with recent experiments for Ge islands embedded in Si. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Using atomistic empirical pseudopotential simulations, we find that the band alignment between random and ordered domains changes from type I to type II at x≃0.4. This leads to an increase by two to three orders of magnitude in the radiative lifetime of the electron–hole recombination. This can explain the experimentally observed mobility-lifetime product behaviors with changing Al concentration. The type I to type II transition results from a competition between the ordering-induced band folding effect and hole confinement on Ga-rich monolayers within the ordered structure. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Samples are fabricated by a liquid phase deposition, and their thermal conductivities are measured by a differential 3ω method. Nanoporous Bi thin films exhibit an order-of-magnitude reduction in thermal conductivity compared to that of solid films, most likely the result of a reduction in phonon mean free path. When porous Bi films are exposed to a hydrogen plasma, thermal conductivity measurements reveal no variation with extent of porosity, while electrical conductivity is much more sensitive to porosity, suggesting the possibility of independent control of these two intrinsic properties. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The material quality of InN improved significantly for the layer thickness larger than 150 nm. The highest extracted value of the room temperature electron mobility was close to 850 cm[sup 2]/V s for samples with electron carrier concentration of ∼4×10[sup 18] cm[sup -3]. The measured dependence of the electron mobility on electron concentration is interpreted using the model accounting for ionized impurity scattering, polar optical scattering, and compensation. The MEMOCVD-grown material exhibited stronger photoluminescence (PL) compared to InN deposited using conventional metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Room temperature PL spectra were similar to InN grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with peak emission at 0.8 eV. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of the MEMOCVD technique for deposition of high quality InN epitaxial layers at reduced temperatures comparable to those used in MBE growth. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

These properties are essential for the identification and classification of microorganisms and cells. The complexity of microorganisms in terms of their chemical composition and internal structure make the interpretation of their spectral signature a difficult task. In this paper, a model is proposed for the quantitative interpretation of spectral patterns resulting from transmission measurements of prokaryotic microorganism suspensions. It is also demonstrated that different organisms give rise to spectral differences that may be used for their identification and classification. The proposed interpretation model is based on light scattering theory, spectral deconvolution techniques, and on the approximation of the frequency dependent optical properties of the basic constituents of living organisms. The quantitative deconvolution in terms of the interpretation model yields critical information necessary for the detection and identification of microorganisms, such as size, dry mass, dipicolinic acid concentration, nucleotide concentration, and an average representation of the internal scattering elements of the organisms. E. coli, P. agglomerans, B. subtilis spores, and vegetative cells and spores of Bacillus globigii are used as case studies. It is concluded that spectroscopy techniques coupled with effective interpretation models are applicable to a wide range of cell types found in diverse environments.

Na-ISA crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 (#4) with cell parameters a=9.2267(11) A˚, b=5.0765(6) A˚, c=9.7435(11) A˚, β=103.304(2)°, V=444.13(9) A˚3, Z=2. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares on F2 yielding final R-values (all data) R1=0.0361 and Rw2=0.0935.The structure of Na-ISA consists of (C6H11O6)− anions arranged in layers parallel to the bc plane. An extended network of O–HO hydrogen bonds links the (ISA)− anions and the crystal water molecules. Each sodium atom is coordinated by four oxygen atoms belonging to four different (ISA)− anions and by one water molecule. The resulting NaO5 polyhedra are linked by sharing common corners in zig-zag chains running parallel to the b-axis.

These data are used to further evaluate the applicability of these nuclides for direct radiometric dating of polar ice. In order to minimize artifacts during sample processing we developed an improved method utilizing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to stabilize uranium-series nuclides dissolved in polar ice during ice melting and filtration. Our measurements revealed low uranium-series daughter abundances and large uranium-series (234U/238U, 230Th/234U, 226Ra/230Th, 231Pa/235U) disequilibria in the filtered <0.05-μm fraction of these ice samples. Both the long-lived uranium-series disequilibria and 10Be/36Cl ratios are most likely recently inherited from precipitation. The short-lived daughter 226Ra is the exception and is enhanced in the <0.05-μm fraction, presumably due to recoil effects from dust bands present in the ice. Based on a simplified recoil model, ice ages of approximately 30 ka are obtained from our data. Absence of measurable 238U–234U–230Th–226Ra disequilibria in the volcanic dust bands also suggests that ice ages are greater than 10 ka, consistent with recoil-based ages. Our relatively young ice ages can be compared with previously published relatively old terrestrial ages of meteorites from this area and suggests that meteorites at Allan Hills have experienced a multi-stage history of ice accumulation and/or ice flow. Our results also suggest that large uranium-series disequilibria can be inherited from precipitation, which may provide a method for dating clear ice samples.

This approach is based on a reduced space Successive Quadratic Programming (rSQP) algorithm, and it allows the reuse of existing PDE-based modeling codes. This approach leads to an efficient simultaneous strategy, where the NLP and the PDE model are solved at the same time. A number of refinements were made to the NLP algorithm to enhance its performance and reliability for large, nonlinear models. This study considers PDE-based optimization problems to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.In particular, we apply this approach to MPSalsa, a finite element PDE Solver developed at Sandia National Laboratories, and consider a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor model as the optimization application. Here, our goal is optimize the operating conditions to produce a thin film of gallium nitride with a spatially uniform thickness. To minimize nonuniformity of the film, a novel NLP formulation is described and evaluated based on constraint aggregation. In addition to the design optimization strategy, we incorporate a stability analysis of the optimal design to assure that it is a stable steady state.

They are identical to antitaxial or ‘crack-seal’ quartz veinlets in terrestrial rocks, and are extraterrestrial and ancient because they pre-date a 4.40 Ga metamorphism. The quartz was likely deposited from liquid water solutions (as are terrestrial veins); other potential solvents or transport mechanisms are inadequate or unlikely. Because there is no indication of internal (magmatic) water in the eucrite meteorites and thus in Vesta, the water from which the veinlet was deposited probably came from outside Vesta. By analogy with water ice deposits on the Moon and Mercury, Vesta and similar asteroids may have had (or now have) polar ice deposits, possibly derived from comet impacts.

Ion exchange is among the preferred methods of removing trace quantities of perchlorates from contaminated water, and the selective ion-exchange process has been developed, based on a bifunctional resin. Because the process is so selective, the perchlorates is removed without the addition or subtraction of other constituents in the treated stream. The selective ion-exchange process becomes economically viable if the resin can further be regenerated, and a novel process involving the equilibrium formation of the ferric chloride anion in aqueous solution of ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid made it possible to regenerate the resin.

We use a combination of Rutherford backscattering/channeling spectrometry and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Results show that an increase in Al content not only strongly enhances dynamic annealing processes but can also change the main features of the amorphization behavior. In particular, the damage buildup behavior at 300 K is essentially similar for all the AlGaN films studied. Ion-beam-produced disorder at 300 K accumulates preferentially in the crystal bulk region up to a certain saturation level (∼50%–60% relative disorder). Bombardment at 300 K above a critical fluence results in a rapid increase in damage from the saturation level up to complete disordering, with a buried amorphous layer nucleating in the crystal bulk. However, at 77 K, the saturation effect of lattice disorder in the bulk occurs only for x>=0.1. Based on the analysis of these results for AlGaN and previously reported data for InGaN, we discuss physical mechanisms of the susceptibility of group-III nitrides to ion-beam-induced disordering and to the crystalline-to-amorphous phase transition. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

C[sub 60], C[sub 59]N[sup +], and C[sub 48]N[sub 12]: Theory and experiment. JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/03/15/ VL - 120 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5133 EP - 5147 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Low-energy excitations and optical absorption spectrum of C[sub 60] are computed by using time-dependent (TD) Hartree–Fock, TD-density functional theory (TD-DFT), TD DFT-based tight-binding (TD-DFT-TB), and a semiempirical Zerner intermediate neglect of diatomic differential overlap method. A detailed comparison of experiment and theory for the excitation energies, optical gap, and absorption spectrum of C[sub 60] is presented. It is found that electron correlations and correlation of excitations play important roles in accurately assigning the spectral features of C[sub 60], and that the TD-DFT method with nonhybrid functionals or a local spin density approximation leads to more accurate excitation energies than with hybrid functionals. The level of agreement between theory and experiment for C[sub 60] justifies similar calculations of the excitations and optical absorption spectrum of a monomeric azafullerene cation C[sub 59]N[sup +], to serve as a spectroscopy reference for the characterization of carborane anion salts. Although it is an isoelectronic analogue to C[sub 60], C[sub 59]N[sup +] exhibits distinguishing spectral features different from C[sub 60]: (1) the first singlet is dipole-allowed and the optical gap is redshifted by 1.44 eV; (2) several weaker absorption maxima occur in the visible region; (3) the transient triplet–triplet absorption at 1.60 eV (775 nm) is much broader and the decay of the triplet state is much faster. The calculated spectra of C[sub 59]N[sup +] characterize and explain well the measured ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) and transient absorption spectra of the carborane anion salt [C[sub 59]N][Ag(CB[sub 11]H[sub 6]Cl[sub 6])[sub 2]] [Kim et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125, 4024 (2003)]. For the most stable isomer of C[sub 48]N[sub 12], we predict that the first singlet is dipole-allowed, the optical gap is redshifted by 1.22 eV relative to that of C[sub 60], and optical absorption maxima occur at 585, 528, 443, 363, 340, 314, and 303 nm. We point out that the characterization of the UV–vis and transient absorption spectra of C[sub 48]N[sub 12] isomers is helpful in distinguishing the isomer structures required for applications in molecular electronics. For C[sub 59]N[sup +] and C[sub 48]N[sub 12] as well as C[sub 60], TD-DFT-TB yields reasonable agreement with TD-DFT calculations at a highly reduced cost. Our study suggests that C[sub 60], C[sub 59]N[sup +], and C[sub 48]N[sub 12], which differ in their optical gaps, have potential applications in polymer science, biology, and medicine as single-molecule fluorescent probes, in photovoltaics as the n-type emitter and/or p-type base of a p–n junction solar cell, and in nanoelectronics as fluorescence-based sensors and switches. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Throughout our calculations, water molecules were maintained at a fixed intramolecular geometry corresponding to the average structure obtained in fully unconstrained simulations. This allows us to use larger time steps than those adopted in ordinary CP simulations of water, and thus to access longer time scales. In the absence of chemical reactions or dissociation effects, these calculations open the way to ab initio simulations of aqueous solutions that require time scales substantially longer than presently feasible (e.g., simulations of hydrophobic solvation). Our results show that structural properties and diffusion coefficients obtained with a rigid model are in better agreement with experiment than those determined with fully flexible simulations. Possible reasons responsible for this improved agreement are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/03/15/ VL - 120 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5414 EP - 5423 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Density functional theory was employed to study the stabilities and chemical activities of transition metal carbides. Here we take the well-known Mo carbides and Ti carbides as an example. Different kinds of structures including the bulk surfaces [Mo[sub 2]C(001), MoC(001), and TiC(001)] and metcars [Mo[sub 8]C[sub 12] and Ti[sub 8]C[sub 12]] are taken into consideration. Systematic studies show that by raising the C coordination number of the metal atoms in the carbides, in general the stability of the carbides increases (metcars are an exception since they include both high-coordinated and low-coordinated metal atoms.); at the same time, the chemical activities of the carbides decrease due to a downshift of the metal d-band center (ligand effect). Considering the better catalysts those that combine high stability and moderate chemical activity, our results suggest that the catalytic potential of Mo carbide systems should decrease in the following sequence: Mo[sub 8]C[sub 12]>Mo[sub 2]C(001) or MoC(001)>pure Mo(110). In spite of having the largest C/Mo ratio, the metcar appears as the most attractive system. Our studies also indicate that the “magic” behavior of metcars is not unique for Mo carbides. Similar behavior is also observed for Ti carbides. This implies that nanoparticles like metcar species could exhibit better performances than the corresponding bulk metal carbides as catalysts. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Doping concentrations of 6×1016 cm−3 or less (⩾0.3 Ω-cm resistivity) can be achieved in meter-long crystals without exceeding the solubility limit for N. Shorter crystals can be doped more heavily. The time required to transition from undoped (5000 Ω-cm) growth to a 0.2 Ω-cm uniform doping level is about 3 min. This corresponds to less than 1 cm of growth at 0.3 cm min−1. Doping uniformity is within 9% or better axially and 2% radially. We present and experimentally substantiate model equations for dopant incorporation from a pyrolytic BN solid-source, for B dopant dissipation when the source is removed, and for nitrogen co-dopant incorporation.

The method yields clean, high quality crystal plates as evidenced by residual resistivities and RRR values in the range of 3–12 μΩ cm and 20–90, respectively. The crystals are also virtually free of magnetic impurities or secondary phases, allowing the study of the intrinsic anisotropic magnetic behavior of each compound. Characterization was made with X-Ray diffraction, and temperature and field-dependent magnetization, specific heat and resistivity. Very strong anisotropies arising mostly from CEF effects were observed for all magnetic rare earths except Gd. Antiferromagnetic ordering occurred at temperatures between 16.5 K (Nd) and 1.1 K (Ho) that roughly scale with the de Gennes factor for the heavy rare earths. For some members there is also a lower temperature transition associated with changes in the magnetic structure. Tm did not order down to 0.4 K, and appears to be a van Vleck paramagnet. All members which ordered above 2 K showed a metamagnetic transition at 2 K for fields below 70 kOe. The calculated effective moments per rare earth atom are close to the expected free ion values of R3+ except for Sm which displays anomalous behavior in the paramagnetic state. The non-magnetic members of this series (Y, Lu) are characterized by an unusually large electronic specific heat coefficient (γ∼60 mJ/mol K2) and temperature-independent susceptibility term (χ0∼0.003 emu/mol), indicative of a relatively large density of states at the Fermi surface.

Moreover, it is especially confused that the grain-size effect should be necessary to relate with this electronic transport behaviour. In this reply, we provide an argument in support of the statement that inhomogeneous electronic/magnetic phase separation is one of the most important reasons for the double-peak behaviour in the ρ(T) curve.

SN - 00222461 AB - In recent years, ruby fluorescence spectroscopy has been demonstrated as a powerful technique for monitoring residual stress evolution in the thermally grown oxide scale in thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems. The measured residual stresses, in turn, can be used to monitor evolution of damage in the coatings. Effective use of this technology for real-time damage monitoring requires the identification of trends in measured stresses that can be used as indicators of damage evolution. The present work focuses on studying the evolution of residual stresses in TBC systems during long-term exposure to turbine operating conditions. The coatings are electron beam physical vapor deposited (EBPVD) and atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) zirconia. The stress evolution in both EBPVD and APS coatings is analytically modeled by an approach that takes into consideration contributions due to both thermal mismatch and oxide growth. Microstructural changes in the TBC system are correlated with measured stress trends through comparison with the modeled stresses. The stress measurements and modeling provide insight into failure modes and mechanisms, and to identify critical features in the measured stress data that can be used as indicators of failure in TBCs.

Emphasis is placed on the difference between quantum and classical dynamics, and correction techniques, which can be used to emulate quantum effects in a classical system, are investigated. We present molecular dynamics simulation results for liquid water using the ‘Thole-type’ all atom polarizable water model, which has previously been shown to give reasonable results for both ice Ih and small water clusters. We employ expressions for the density of states power spectrum in the liquid in either atomic or rigid-body coordinates that are appropriate for rigid molecule simulations. It is demonstrated that the atomic power spectra can be written as a linear combination of the center of mass and rotational power spectra via the use of the ‘coupling matrix’ of linear coefficients. This approach allows us to introduce the concept of ‘fractional degrees of freedom’ (DOF) for nuclei in rigid molecule simulation. Within this framework, it is illustrated that in a rigid water molecule the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have 2.82 and 1.59 DOF, respectively (for the TIP4P geometry). Within our suggested approach, we finally demonstrate that Debye–Waller factors can be obtained from the coupling matrix and show that quantum corrections to the structure can be accounted for by raising the temperature of the system in a classical simulation by approximately 50°, a result consistent with previous suggestions.

The melt-spun ribbons transform from an amorphous structure to a meta-stable quasicrystalline phase. This amorphous-to-quasicrystalline transition is not observed in amorphous powders obtained by mechanical milling. Since the mechanical milling process does not involve direct liquid phase formation of an amorphous structure, it is inferred that in the absence of the short-range order obtained directly from the liquid, meta-stable quasicrystalline phase formation is not energetically favored in these Zr-based metallic glasses.

The changing tiling pattern with elapsed time in the HRTEM image has been analyzed, and the spatial and temporal variations of the phason field have been deduced. In the temporal variation, abrupt and discrete changes have been observed in addition to smooth and continuous ones. The degrees of the spatial and temporal correlations of the phason fluctuation have been evaluated, both of which decrease continuously with increasing distance and time, respectively. The results have been discussed in light of the random tiling model of the quasicrystal.

The response of a micro-thermal probe in contact with aperiodic and periodic surfaces in air reveals the anisotropic heat flow of the decagonal structure. Heat dissipation with the probe on the aperiodic surface is higher than when the probe is on the periodic surface. While the SThM technique is generally considered to be constrained to the surface region below the nominally 2–5 μm probe tip radius, the heat flow data obtained are clearly comprised of contributions from both the lateral surface around the probe tip and a volume normal to the surface in contact. Heat flow in the decagonal Al74Ni10Co16 quasicrystal can be modeled by an elliptical distribution of thermal diffusion. Parameters for the model used in this study were obtained by making bulk thermal diffusivity measurements using the laser flash method on specimens along the 2- and 10-fold directions. The model was applied to a surface oriented 45° to the major axes and verified from bulk measurements obtained from a sample cut along this orientation.

For decagonal quasicrystals, it has been proposed, however, that one can link the aperiodic and periodic directions using what are termed net planes [Acta Crystallogr. A 57 (2001) 333]. These net planes are thought to play a critical role in the stability and growth of decagonal quasicrystals. To explore their potential role during growth and to shed light on their structural stability, we have studied single-grain surfaces of decagonal Al–Ni–Co by low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy. Our results suggest that these planes do indeed have special stability.

We show that a very complicated inhomogeneous surface morphology may develop on the 5-fold surface prepared by ion sputtering and annealing cycles in UHV. Sputtering and sublimation both contribute to material removal on the surface. The sublimation takes place at the annealing temperature at sites of surface defects induced by mechanical polishing and sputtering in UHV. The surface is characterized by nano-sized clusters of about 40 nm in size which form terraces. Results give further evidence for the cluster-based structure of the i-AlPdMn QC.

In the regression analysis, the radiation-induced increase in yield stress, ΔσYS, was expressed in the form of a power law: ΔσYS=h(dpa)n, where h and n are the regression coefficients and dpa is displacements per atom. The log–log plots of ΔσYS vs. dpa data showed two distinctive regimes: a low-dose regime where a rapid hardening occurs and a high-dose regime where the log–log plot shows a considerably reduced slope. Mean values for n obtained from the 19 metals were about 0.5 for the low-dose regime and about 0.12 for the high-dose regime. Some ductile metals like Fe, Cu and Zr displayed lower h and n values. Doses to reach the regime of reduced irradiation hardening, DS, were in the range 0.003–0.07 dpa. Comparisons between radiation effect parameters led to a conclusion that the transition from the low-dose to the high-dose regime in irradiation hardening occurs either when the tensile specimen undergoes prompt plastic instability at yield or when saturation of defect cluster density occurs.

Materials chosen were the S-65C ITER candidate material produced by Brush Wellman, Kawecki Berylco Industries P0 beryllium, and a high-purity zone refined beryllium. Mini-sheet tensile and thermal diffusivity specimens were irradiated in the temperature range of ∼100–300 °C with a fast (E>0.1 MeV) neutron fluence of 0.05–1.0 × 1025 n/m2 in the high flux isotope reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the high flux beam reactor (HFBR) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. As expected from earlier work on beryllium, both materials underwent significant tensile embrittlement with corresponding reduction in ductility and increased strength. Both thermal diffusivity and volumetric expansion were measured and found to have negligible changes in this temperature and fluence range. Of significance from this work is that while both materials rapidly embrittle at these ITER relevant irradiation conditions, some ductility (1–2%) remains, which contrasts with a body of earlier work including recent work on the Brush-Wellman S-65C material irradiated to slightly higher neutron fluence.

For temperatures below that where significant thermal annealing of defects occurs, an expression is derived for the fission density at which irradiation-induced recrystallization is initiated that is athermal and weakly dependent on fission rate. The initiation of recrystallization is to be distinguished from the subsequent progression and eventual consumption of the original fuel grain. The formulation takes into account the observed microstructural evolution of the fuel, the role of precipitate pinning and fission gas bubbles, and the triggering event for recrystallization. The calculated dislocation density, fission gas bubble-size distribution, and fission density at which recrystallization first appears are compared to measured quantities.

Therefore it is important and necessary to develop corrosion models to predict corrosion behaviors at the design stage of practical LBE coolant systems and to properly interpret and apply experimental results from test loops. In the present study, we extended a kinetic corrosion model for a simple LBE loop to a model for a loop with multiple modules to include effects of geometry variations. The model is applied to an ideal loop with contractions and expansions and a test loop named ‘DELTA’ set up in the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Analyses show the combined effects of the axial geometry variations and the axial temperature profile on the corrosion/precipitation distribution in the entire loop. The present study illustrates systematically different dependence of corrosion behaviors on the hydraulic factors in an open pipe flow, a simple loop flow and a multi-modular loop flow.

Since current treatment of trypanosome infections is difficult and often ineffective in controlling the chronic phases of these diseases, more effective anti-trypanosomal drugs are urgently needed. One class of polyamines containing hydrophobic side chains shows promise. However, conformational information regarding their interaction with the target enzyme trypanothione reductase has yet to be obtained. As prelude to such studies, we have made preliminary studies of novel spermine and spermidine analogs bearing one or two N-substituted 2-naphthylmethyl groups dissolved in aqueous solution. Our studies suggest the pH-dependent formation of fluorescent aggregates involving either the encounter of two excited-state naphthyl groups (“excimer”) or formation of an excited-state complex (“exciplex”) formed as a consequence of amine-to-naphthyl electron transfer. These spectral changes may be used to explore the mechanism by which N-(2-naphthylmethyl) polyamine analogs exert their toxic effects toward the design of improved candidates for anti-trypanosomal chemotherapy.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/03/15/ VL - 108 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2020 EP - 2029 SN - 10895639 AB - A series of first-principles electronic structure calculations have been performed to determine the most stable structures of F-(H2O)n clusters (n = 4, 8, 12, and 16) and the hydration free energy of fluoride anion (F-). The calculated results show that a new, tetrahedrally coordinated fluoride anion hydration structure F-(H2O)4 cluster is lower in Gibbs free energy than the previously considered most stable structure of F-(H2O)4. The first ab initio prediction of potential stable hydration structures for F-(H2O)n clusters (n = 8, 12, and 16) are given. The energetic results show that the tetrahedrally coordinated fluoride anion hydration structure becomes more stable as compared to the other hydration structures with a pyramidal coordination, i.e., a surface ion cluster state, as the cluster size increases from n = 8 to n = 12 to n = 16. This suggests that, with increasing n, the fluoride anion will be internally solvated in large enough F-(H2O)n clusters. These results provide insight into the transition from the hydration structure found in small gas-phase hydrated-anion clusters to the hydration structure observed in aqueous solution. The calculated results show that, for a given n, the bulk solvent effects can qualitatively change the relative thermodynamic stability of different possible isomers of F-(H2O)n clusters and the most stable structure in solution is not necessarily the most stable structure in the gas phase. When n = 16, a pyramidally coordinated fluoride anion hydration structure is the most stable structure in the gas phase, whereas a tetrahedrally coordinated fluoride anion hydration structure has the lowest free energy in solution. The absolute hydration free energy of fluoride anion in aqueous solution, ΔGhyd298(F-), is predicted to be -104.3 ± 0.7 kcal/mol by using a reliable computational protocol of first-principles solvation-included electronic structure calculations. The predicted ΔGhyd298(F-) value of -104.3 ± 0.7 kcal/mol, together with our previously calculated ΔGhyd298(H+) value of -262.4 kcal/mol determined by using the same computational protocol, gives ΔGhyd298(F-) + ΔGhyd298(H+) = -366.7 ± 0.7 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with the value of -366.5 kcal/mol derived from the available experimental data.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2004/03/15/ VL - 78 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2790 EP - 2807 SN - 0022538X AB - We have described previously the generation of an escape variant of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), under the selection pressure of AD101, a small molecule inhibitor that binds the CCR5 coreceptor (A. Trkola, S. E. Kuhmann, J. M. Strizki, E. Maxwell, T. Ketas, T. Morgan, P. Pugach, S. X. L. Wojcik, J. Tagat, A. Palani, S. Shapiro, J. W. Clader, S. McCombie, G. R. Reyes, B. M. Baroudy, and J. P. Moore, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99:395-400, 2002). The escape mutant, CC101.19, continued to use CCR5 for entry, but it was at least 20,000-fold more resistant to AD101 than the parental virus, CC1/85. We have now cloned the env genes from the the parental and escape mutant isolates and made chimeric infectious molecular clones that fully recapitulate the phenotypes of the corresponding isolates. Sequence analysis of the evolution of the escape mutants suggested that the most relevant changes were likely to be in the V3 loop of the gp120 glycoprotein. We therefore made a series of mutant viruses and found that full AD101 resistance was conferred by four amino acid changes in V3. Each change individually caused partial resistance when they were introduced into the V3 loop of a CC1/85 clone, but their impact was dependent on the gp120 context in which they were made. We assume that these amino acid changes alter how the HIV-1 Env complex interacts with CCR5. Perhaps unexpectedly, given the complete dependence of the escape mutant on CCR5 for entry, monomeric gp120 proteins expressed from clones of the fully resistant isolate failed to bind to CCR5 on the surface of L1.2-CCR5 cells under conditions where gp120 proteins from the parental virus and a partially AD101-resistant virus bound strongly. Hence, the full impact of the V3 substitutions may only be apparent at the level of the native Env complex.

The results from the different tests are compared and statistically analyzed to determine the precision of each method and to estimate the significance of the differences among the four techniques. It was found that dynamic methods (RUS and IE) have superior precision and repeatability when compared to NI and 4PB for all four tested materials. It was also found that the differences between results of RUS and IE are not statistically significant, and that NI can be equally successfully used for determining Young’s modulus of well-prepared, microstructurally homogenous and relatively hard materials. 4PB was found to have the lowest precision and repeatability among the four test methods.

However, at quadratic order, this asymptotic expansion produces an entire family of shallow water wave equations that are asymptotically equivalent to each other, under a group of nonlinear, non-local, normal-form transformations introduced by Kodama in combination with the application of the Helmholtz-operator. These Kodama–Helmholtz (KH) transformations are used to present connections between shallow water waves, the integrable fifth-order KdV equation, and a generalization of the Camassa–Holm (CH) equation that contains an additional integrable case. The dispersion relation of the full water wave problem and any equation in this family agree to fifth order. The travelling wave solutions of the CH equation are shown to agree to fifth order with the exact solution.

This has resulted in impressive moraines, paraglacial debris flow fans and terraces along the upper stretches of the Bhagirathi Valley. Cosmogenic radionuclide (CRN) dating of glacial and paraglacial landforms shows that fans, terraces and associated moraines formed approximately synchronously as the landscape readjusted to changing environmental conditions. This synchronicity suggests that fan and terrace formation is intimately related to glaciation, and that fluctuations in glacial and associated environments during times of climatic instability cause rapid sediment transfer and resedimentation of glacial landforms. The CRN dates show that all existing glacial and paraglacial landforms in the upper Bhagirathi Valley formed during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. This demonstrates that, in this high mountain environment, paraglacial and glacial landforms are eroded and resedimented within about 20,000 years. Furthermore, this testifies to the dynamic nature of glacial environments in monsoon-influenced high mountain regions.

Most of the traditional solid lubricants were prepared in the form of metal, ceramic and polymer-matrix composites. They have been used successfully in various engineering applications. Recent progress in thin-film deposition technologies has led to the synthesis of new generations of adaptative, self-lubricating coatings with composite or multilayered architectures, by using duplex/multiplex surface treatments. These modern self-lubricating coatings progressively make their way into the commercial marketplace and meet the ever-increasing performance demands of more severe applications. The present paper reviews our recent understanding of the lubrication mechanisms of both traditional and new solid lubricants, with particular emphasis on solid lubricant methods and practices.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/03/17/ VL - 126 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3034 EP - 3035 SN - 00027863 AB - This article presents the great variability in relative cleavage efficiencies between different amino acid residue combinations in doubly protonated gas-phase peptides. This variability is dominated by enhanced or suppressed cleavage at those residues (Gly, Pro, prePro) that have Ramachandran &b.psi, &b.phis plots that differ from the general case. For nonaliphatic side chains, enhancement or suppression of cleavage provides insight on possible intramolecular chemical interactions. Using results of this type to guide both experimental studies of fragmentation of model peptides and computational modeling of fragmentation transition states will allow a more complete knowledge of unimolecular dissociation and its correlation to conformational constraints to be obtained.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/03/17/ VL - 126 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3132 EP - 3138 SN - 00027863 AB - N2S2 is a four-membered-ring system with 6π electrons. While earlier proposals considered N2S2 to be aromatic, recent electronic structure calculations claimed that N2S2 is a singlet diradical. Our careful reexamination does not support this assertion. N2S2 is closed shell and aromatic since it satisfies all three generally accepted criteria for aromaticity: energetic (stability), structural (planarity with equal bond lengths), and magnetic (negative nucleus-independent chemical shift due to the π electrons). These characteristics as well as the electronic structure of N2S2 are compared with those for an isoelectronic π system, Li2C2H2, motivated by theoretical and recent experimental investigations that confirmed its aromaticity. However, N2S2 and Li2C4H4 are both essentially 2π-electron aromatic systems with a formal N-S (C-C) bond order of 1.25 even though they both have 6π electrons. This is because four of the six π electrons occupy the nonbonding π HOMOs and only two electrons participate effectively in the aromatic stabilization. However, wave function analysis shows relatively large LUMO occupation numbers; this antibonding effect can be said to reduce the aromatic character by approximately 7% and 4% for N2S2 and Li2C4H4, respectively.

The extent of promotional effect on catalysis due to indium doping depends both on the speciation of hydrocarbon used as a reducing agent in addition to reaction temperature. In/γ-alumina catalysts were tested with eight hydrocarbons (propane, propene, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, acetaldehyde, isooctane) at a C1:N ratio of 12 to investigate the effect of hydrocarbon structure and chemistry on activity for plasma-enhanced catalysis. The functionality, the location of the functional group, as well as the molecular size all proved to have an impact on the ability of the hydrocarbon to participate in NOx reduction chemistry. Plasma assist provided benefits at moderate temperature, but NOx reduction was dominated by thermal activity (no plasma required) at high temperature. The effect of aging on catalyst performance was also examined, and the most negative impact on thermal activity was observed at moderate temperatures. Plasma assist resulted in recovery of nearly all activity for most of the oxygenated hydrocarbons examined. At high temperature, aging had negligible impact on catalyst performance with the exception of catalytic reduction with methanol.

The charge is coupled to the lattice distortions and therefore temperature induced fluctuations and coherent base-pair openings (“bubbles”) directly affect the charge’s motion. The influence of the charge–lattice coupling constant on polaronic behavior, as well as the effect of different initial charge configuration are described. We also briefly present preliminary results from numerical simulations suggesting the existence of a temperature window with long time coherent polaronic transport. This transport mechanism may be either polaronic hopping or polaron drifting depending on the value of the coupling constant.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/03/19/ VL - 279 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 11293 EP - 11303 SN - 00219258 AB - Sml1 is a small protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae which inhibits the activity of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). RNR catalyzes the rate-limiting step of de novo dNTP synthesis. Sml1 is a downstream effector of the Mec1/Rad53 cell cycle checkpoint pathway. The phosphorylation by Dun1 kinase during S phase or in response to DNA damage leads to diminished levels of Sml1. Removal of Sml1 increases the population of active RNR, which raises cellular dNTP levels. In this study using mass spectrometry and site-directed mutagenesis, we have identified the region of Sml1 phosphorylation to be between residues 52 and 64 containing the sequence GSSASASASSLEM. This is the first identification of a phosphorylation sequence of a Dun1 biological substrate. This sequence is quite different from the consensus Dunl phosphorylation sequence reported previously from peptide library studies. The specific phosphoserines were identified to be Ser56, Set58, and Ser60 by chemical modification of these residues to S-ethylcysteines followed by collision activated dissociation. To investigate further Smll phosphorylation, we constructed the single mutants S56A, S58A, S60A, and the triple mutant S56A/S58A/S60A and compared their degrees of phosphorylation with that of wild type Sml1. We observed a 90% decrease in the relative phosphorylation of S60A compared with that of wild type, a 25% decrease in S58A, and little or no decrease in the S56A mutant. There was no observed phosphate incorporation in the triple mutant, suggesting that Ser56, Ser58, and Ser60 in Smll are the sites of phosphorylation. Further mutagenesis studies reveal that Dun1 kinase requires an acidic residue at the +3 position, and there is cooperativity between the phosphorylation sites. These results show that Dun1 has a unique phosphorylation motif.

It has enhanced stability and low power consumption because it works as a switching regulator. The rectangular power pulses supplied to the filament produce small rectangular voltage pulses which are observed by a separate pair of wires connected to the filament ends. These pulses are amplified and converted to the saw-like signal by a low-pass filter. The saw-like signal is connected to the inverting input of the Schmitt trigger, whereas the noninverting input is connected to a reference voltage supplied either from a potentiometer or generated by a computer. The regulator is used in our laboratory for precision potassium analysis by the isotope dilution method. The obtained reproducibility of potassium determination in terms of relative standard uncertainty is 0.5%.

Both genetic changes provided, within a uniform genetic background, a test of the “source–sink” hypothesis that down-regulation of photosynthesis in elevated carbon dioxide is a result of inability to form sufficient “sinks” for the additional photosynthate. Plants were grown under ambient and elevated [CO2] (550 μmol mol−1) in the field, using free air gas concentration enrichment (FACE). Mutation of the determinate cultivar, Elf, to an indeterminate form did not result in increased responsiveness to elevated [CO2]. This may reflect a large sink capacity in the selection of determinate cultivars. In elevated [CO2] only the determinate isoline of the indeterminate cultivar (Williams-dt1) and the non-nodulating genotype showed down-regulation of photosynthesis. This resulted from decreases in apparent in vivo Rubisco activity (Vc,max) and maximum rate of electron transport (Jmax). Increase in total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) content, which is often correlated with down-regulation of photosynthesis, in Williams-dt1 was 80% greater in elevated [CO2] than in ambient [CO2] controls, compared to 40% in the indeterminate line. The results from mutations of the Williams line are consistent with the hypothesis that genetic capacity for the utilization of photosynthate is critical to the ability of plants to sustain increased photosynthesis when grown at elevated [CO2].

Selected experimental highlights from the early RHIC program are presented. Measurements of the total multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions show a surprising similarity to measurements in e+e- collisions after nuclear geometry is taken into account. RHIC has sufficient center-of-mass energy to use large transverse momentum particles and jets as a probe of the nuclear medium. Signatures of "jet quenching" due to radiative gluon energy loss of fast partons in a dense medium are observed for the first time at RHIC. In order to account for this energy loss, initial energy densities of 30-100 times normal nuclear matter density are required.

We use a two-dimensional generalization of Darcy’s law that accounts for shear thinning of a non-Newtonian fluid. In the limit of weak shear thinning, the pressure is found from a ladder of two linear elliptic boundary value problems, each to be solved in the whole fluid domain. A moving body fitted grid is used to resolve the flow near the interface, while most of the fluid domain is covered with a fixed Cartesian grid. Our use of body-conforming grids reduces grid anisotropy effects and allows the accurate modeling of boundary conditions.

The self-adjoint semi-implicit operator and variational approach to spatial discretization are synergistic and enable simulation in the extremely stiff conditions found in high temperature plasmas without sacrificing the geometric flexibility needed for modeling laboratory experiments. Growth rates for resistive tearing modes with experimentally relevant Lundquist number are computed accurately with time-steps that are large with respect to the global Alfve´n time and moderate spatial resolution when the finite elements have basis functions of polynomial degree (p) two or larger. An error diffusion method controls the generation of magnetic divergence error. Convergence studies show that this approach is effective for continuous basis functions with p⩾2, where the number of test functions for the divergence control terms is less than the number of degrees of freedom in the expansion for vector fields. Anisotropic thermal conduction at realistic ratios of parallel to perpendicular conductivity (χ∥/χ⊥) is computed accurately with p⩾3 without mesh alignment. A simulation of tearing-mode evolution for a shaped toroidal tokamak equilibrium demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm in nonlinear conditions, and its results are used to verify the accuracy of the numerical anisotropic thermal conduction in 3D magnetic topologies.

The lowest energy structure is one in which B–N bonding is present as boron and nitrogen occupy each of the 12 pentagons of the fullerene cage. The cluster is polar with a net dipole moment of 0.55 D, which indicates an enhanced tendency toward reactivity with other media. The excitation spectrum shows that the lowest transition of 1.75 eV is dipole-allowed. The optical gap of C48(BN)6 is redshifted by 1.17 eV relative to that of C60, suggesting possible use as single-molecule fluorescent probes for various applications.

A simple, fast, inexpensive and close to universal method, based on suspension of finely divided target material in a binder to form a paint, has been developed that can be vacuum infiltrated to uniformly coat the surfaces of highly permeable fibrous target matrices with compound target materials and thus, form fast diffusion-release, mechanically and thermally stable production targets for ISOL-based radioactive ion beam research applications. In this report, the paint infiltration technique is described and the universal character of the technique illustrated by preparing several nitride, carbide, oxide and sulfide targets for potential use at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility or at future high energy ISOL-based research facilities such as the Rare Isotope Accelerator facility, now under proposal for construction in the USA.

These radioactive ion beams are then accelerated to energies of a few MeV per nucleon and delivered to experimental stations for use in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics experiments. At the heart of this facility is the RIB production target, where the radioactive nuclei are produced using beams of light ions (p, d, 3He, α) to induce nuclear reactions in the target nuclei. Several target materials have been developed and used successfully, including Al2O3, HfO2, SiC, CeS, liquid Ge, liquid Ni, and a low-density matrix of uranium carbide. The details of these targets and some of the target developments that led to the delivery of high-quality radioactive ion beams are discussed in this paper.

We identify three angular regimes in which pinning is dominated by different types of correlated and uncorrelated defects. Those regimes are present in all cases, but their extension and characteristics are sample dependent, reflecting differences in texture and defect density. The more defective nature of the films on IBAD turns into an advantage as it results in higher J[sub c], demonstrating that the performance of the films on single crystals is not an upper limit for the IBAD coated conductors. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It takes advantage of differences in the vibrational frequencies of adatom–substrate bonds at terraces and steps. With a properly tuned infrared laser, one can selectively excite only the adatom–substrate bonds at steps and enhance the mobility of these adatoms, consequently promoting step-flow growth and reducing film roughness. The feasibility of this method is shown theoretically with respect to the prototype system of chemical vapor deposition growth of silicon. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/03/22/ VL - 43 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2049 EP - 2056 SN - 00201669 AB - We report the synthesis, structure, and physical properties of (BEDT-TTF)[Ni(tdas)2] [BEDT-TTF, or ET, is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene; tdas is 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-dithiolate], which is the first example of a salt containing monomeric [Ni(tdas)2]- monoanions. This salt, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 17.2324(6) Å, b = 13.2740(5) &ARing;, c = 10.9467(4) Å, β = 96.974(2)°, and V = 2485.5(2) ų, forms a layered structure. One layer contains dimerized BEDT-TTF electron donor molecules and isolated [Ni(tdas)2]- monoanions, while the second layer contains chains of [Ni(tdas)2]- monoanions. Conductivity measurements show that (BEDTTTF)[Ni(tdas)2] has a semiconductor-to-semiconductor transition near 200 K, while magnetic measurements indicate that it is an S = 1/2 paramagnet with weak antiferromagnetic coupling. Reflectance spectra reveal bands in the near-infrared region (6.6 × 10³ and 10.6 × 10³ cm-1) which are typical of (BEDT-TTF)22+ dimers. From these data, we can conclude that the unpaired electron lies on the [Ni(tdas)2]- anions. Tight-binding band structure calculations were used to analyze the electronic structure of this salt.

It is shown that the double groups can be represented in terms of wreath products and powerful matrix cycle type generators that are used to construct their character tables. It is shown that these tables are of use when spin–orbit coupling is included in the Hamiltonian even for molecules containing lighter atoms. Applications to nonrigid molecules such as Tl[sub 2]H[sub 4]/Tl[sub 2]H[sub 4][sup +] are considered. It is shown that the tunneling splittings and the nuclear spin statistical weights can be obtained for such species using the character tables thus constructed. The spinor double groups of several other molecules such as hexamethyl dilead and heavy weakly bound clusters such as (PoH[sub 2])[sub 4] are also considered. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The new formulation employs a separation of radial and angular terms with a simple index structure that leads to computational efficiency and ease of physical interpretation. For the case of the Coulomb interaction, we compare the present formulation with two conventional multipole expansions: the Cartesian tensor and the irreducible spherical tensor expansions. The new formalism leads to efficient numerical algorithms that are useful for general applications beyond intermolecular potentials. In addition to the electrostatic Coulomb interaction, we illustrate the formalism with applications to special function theory and a bipolar expansion involved in potential theory. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Both density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations indicate that the electronic energy gap of the liquid vanishes at about ninefold compression and 3000 K. At these conditions the computed conductivity values are characteristic of a poor metal. These findings are consistent with those of recent shock wave experiments but the computed conductivity is larger than the measured value. From our ab initio results we conclude that the transition is driven by molecular dissociation rather than disorder and that both temperature and pressure play a key role in determining structural changes in the fluid. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The same ionic NOx species (NO+, NO+NO2, NO3-), formed by the disproportionation of NO2, were observed to form on both materials under dry conditions at room temperature. The thermal stabilities of these species, however, were vastly different on the two materials. Room-temperature evacuation was sufficient to decompose the NO+NO2 adduct in Na-Y, while this species was stable up to 350K over Ba-Y. The adsorbed NO+ was also much more stable over Ba-Y than on Na-Y. Water significantly affected the adsorbed NOx species on both materials. In the presence of water, the IR signatures of adsorbed NO+ were eliminated from both catalysts; however, it did not affect the IR feature of the NO+NO2 species on Ba-Y. In the TPD spectra, the NO2 desorption peak shifted from 350 K to 520 K on Na-Y preexposed to water. In Ba-Y, the high-temperature NO2 desorption feature of ~470 K shifted to ~620 K as a result of adsorption on the water-containing sample, while the low-temperature peak remained unchanged.

The conjugation is further enhanced and stabilized in the presence of a coupling agent for amidation to promote the formation of covalent linkages. The natural protein-affinity of SWNTs may be alleviated or even eliminated by the functionalization of the nanotubes with hydrophilic polymers or better with oligomeric poly(ethylene glycol) moieties.

We take advantage of the discrete size distribution to correlate the peaks in a histogram of nanocrystal heights with the distinct abundance peaks in a mass spectrum. The correlation establishes a mapping from STM height to core mass or mean core diameter. This is vitally important for the interpretation of size-dependent “single-molecule” tunneling spectra from nanocrystal compounds.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/03/22/ VL - 108 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 3912 EP - 3924 SN - 15206106 AB - Structures of the Fe2+ binding site in photosynthetic reaction center (RC) proteins from Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26 were obtained by Fe K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. Measurements were taken at cryogenic and room temperatures, in the dark as well as in the light-induced charge-separated state P+QAQB-. Evidence for protein matrix expansion near the Fe2+ site because of lowering the temperature from 290 to 15 K was observed as elongation of Fe2+ to neighboring atom distances. Upon formation of the charge-separated state P+QAQB-, the distances between the Fe2+ and neighboring atoms were reduced slightly. Replacing the native Fe2+ with either Mn2+ or Zn2+ resulted in distinct differences in local structural responses to both temperature and charge separation, suggesting that the conformation changes caused by these factors may follow different paths in the potential energy landscape of the protein. The XAFS measurements of Fe2+ site structure revealed a more symmetrically oriented imidazole ligands arrangement around Fe than those in current crystal structures. These measurements for high-precision Fe site local structure indicate that XAFS is a useful technique for probing structural changes in the metal site environment because of temperature change, metal replacement, and light-induced charge separation in the reaction center proteins.

We report here the results of an extensive experimental survey and characterization of over 20 species of transition-metal compounds for their activity in the Hill reaction at the lipid-water interface of Photosystem II (PSII) membrane fragments. Four new PSII Hill reagents were identified: PtCl4, [PtCl6]2-, [OsCl6]2-, and [RuCl6]2-. Each can be photosynthetically reduced by PSII. The negative charge of the metal compound species is apparently essential for their interaction with the reducing site of PSII. When PtCl4 is dissolved in water, it combines with water molecules to form H2[PtCl4(OH)2], which can dissociate to the negatively charged species [PtCl4(OH)2]2- at neutral pH. These findings could have significant implications for photosynthesis, nanoscale science, and nanofabrication in the field of biometallocatalysis.

For the growth of these TPV-structures the new version of liquid-phase electroepitaxy has been employed. First type of structure consists of the n-InAs (111)B substrate and compositionally graded p-InAsP layer with the increasing concentration of phosphorus from impurity levels up to 6%, along the growth direction. The second type of structure consists of p-InAsPSb layer directly grown on a n-InAs (100) substrate. These structures have a uniform thickness, a mirror-like surface and a very flat interface. The dislocation density on the surface layer was no more than ND=105 cm−2. The I–V and C–V characteristics of n-InAs/p-InAsP and n-InAs/p-InAsPSb TPV structures have been investigated. The spectral response of these diode structures has been measured. The results of these studies show that the second type of TPV structures has better performance than the first type.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the as-sputtered films are of mainly (1 1 2)-oriented CuInS2 incorporating a minor CuIn2 phase. XRD rocking curve of CuInS2 (1 1 2) showed a full width at half maximum of 0.1°, indicating an epitaxial-like growth of (1 1 2)-CuInS2 films on (0 0 0 1)-sapphire. Six peaks dominantly show up in the XRD φ–2θ map, between which there are additional regular modulations present, suggesting a multi-domain structure of the thick double-layered films. Furthermore, the morphology and internal microstructure of the quasi-epitaxially sputtered CuInS2 films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, respectively.

A stabilized record efficiency of 9.47% has independently been confirmed by NREL for an amorphous silicon single-junction p-i-n cell (∼1 cm2) deposited on LP-CVD ZnO coated glass. Micromorph tandem cells with an initial efficiency of 12.3% show after light-soaking a stable performance of 10.8%. The monolithic series connection by laser-scribing for module fabrication has been developed at IMT as well, for both amorphous single-junction and micromorph tandem cells in combination with the LP-CVD ZnO technique. Mini-modules (areas between 22 and 24 cm2) with an aperture efficiency of 8.7% in the case of amorphous single-junction p-i-n cells (independently confirmed by NREL), and of 9.8% in the case of micromorph tandem cells, have been obtained. Micromorph tandem cells with an intermediate TCO reflector between the amorphous top and the microcrystalline bottom cell show an almost stable performance (η=10.7%) with respect to light-soaking.

This analysis demonstrated significantly higher concentrations in grilled/barbecued meats than in other cooked meats.

Our method uses LC/MS/MS to detect four metabolites and four deuterated internal standard peaks in a single chromatographic run. N2-OH–PhIP–N2-glucuronide was the most abundant urinary metabolite excreted by the 12 individuals who participated in our study. N2-PhIP glucuronide was the second most abundant metabolite for 8 of the 12 volunteers. The stability of PhIP metabolism over time was studied in three of the volunteers who repeated the assay eight times over a 2.5 year-period. PhIP metabolite excretion varied in each subject over time, although the rate of excretion was more constant. Our results suggest that quantifying PhIP metabolites should make future studies of individual susceptibility and dietary interventions possible.

This paper explores microstructure development, coating characterization and properties of HVOF sprayed alumina coatings and compares these with those produced using the conventional air plasma spray process. We report on the characterization of these coatings using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and X-ray computed microtomography (XMT) to explain the behavior observed for the two coating systems. Microstructure information on porosity, void orientation distribution, void mean opening dimensions and internal surface areas have been obtained using SANS. XMT (X-ray synchrotron microtomography) has been used to nondestructively image the microstructural features in 3D at a 2.7-μm spatial resolution over a 2–3 mm field of view. 3D medial axis analysis has been used for the quantitative analysis of the coarse void space in order to obtain information on the porosity, specific surface area, pore connectivity and size distribution of the larger voids in the coatings. The results reveal different pore morphologies for the two spray processes. While only globular pores are imaged in the plasma sprayed coatings due to the spatial resolution limit, highly layered porosity is imaged in the HVOF coating. When the quantitative SANS and XMT information are combined, the different thermal and mechanical properties of the two different coating types can be explained in terms of their distinctly different void microstructures.

In particular, colossal magnetoresistance in these materials-the dramatic reduction of resistivity in a magnetic field-is closely related to the observed texture owing to nanometre- and micrometre-scale inhomogeneities. Despite accumulated data from various high-resolution probes, a theoretical understanding for the existence of such inhomogeneities has been lacking. Mechanisms invoked so far, usually based on electronic mechanisms and chemical disorder, have been inadequate to describe the multiscale, multiphase coexistence within a unified picture. Moreover, lattice distortions and long-range strains are known to be important in the manganites. Here we show that the texturing can be due to the intrinsic complexity of a system with strong coupling between the electronic and elastic degrees of freedom. This leads to local energetically favourable configurations and provides a natural mechanism for the self-organized inhomogeneities over both nanometre and micrometre scales. The framework provides a physical understanding of various experimental results and a basis for engineering nanoscale patterns of metallic and insulating phases.

The γ-decay of the isomer exposes the rotational band based on the 160-day 23/2− isomer, 177mLu, with band properties which support its proposed configuration. A 90-ns isomer at 1325 keV is associated with the predicted 3-quasiparticle Kπ=25/2+ state while a 5-quasiparticle 33/2+, 902-ns isomer with highly-hindered decays is identified at 2771 keV. Both exhibit rotational bands whose properties are used to support the assigned configurations. The possibility that the Kπ=39/2− isomer found in this work should be identified with a β-decaying isomer, proposed recently to populate the 51-min 37/2− isomer in 177Hf, is discussed in terms of the implied logft values, configuration changes, and hindrances for K-forbidden γ-decays.

The resulting non-linear, discrete equations are solved using Newton''s method combined with either the conjugate gradient method or the generalized minimum residual method. These Newton–Krylov solvers are implemented in a matrix-free fashion for numerical efficiency. A description of the algorithms and evaluation of their performance is presented. On all test problems, if the time step is chosen appropriately, the implicit solution technique is more efficient than an explicit method without loss of desired features in the solutions. In a dramatic example, time steps 10,000 times the explicit step size are possible for the large deformation compression of a cylindrical billet at 1.2% the computational cost.

The variational equation is formulated based on the power balance of the system associated with grain boundary surface tension and curvature, rate of strain energy stored in each grain, strain energy density jump across the grain boundaries, and external work rate. The numerical solution of stressed grain growth variational equation requires discretization of grain interiors and grain boundaries. This cannot be effectively modeled by Lagrangian, Eulerian, or Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian finite element method if grain boundary migration (moving interfaces) and topological changes of grain boundary geometry are considered. This paper presents a double-grid method to resolve the above mentioned difficulty. In this approach, the material grid points carry material kinematic variables, whereas the grain boundary grid points carry grain boundary kinematic variables. The material domain is discretized by a moving least squares reproducing kernel approximation with strain discontinuity enrichment across the grain boundaries. The grain boundaries, on the other hand, are discretized by the standard finite elements. An interface enrichment function to accurately capture strain jump conditions across the grain boundaries is introduced. A reproducing kernel approximation that includes the periodicity of the unit cell in the construction of reproducing kernel shape function for material velocity is also presented. This proposed double-grid method allows modeling of arbitrary evolution of grain boundaries without remeshing.

We describe the first kinetic study of the purified and reconstituted ZitB by stopped-flow measurements of transmembrane fluxes of metal ions using a metal-sensitive fluorescent indicator encapsulated in proteoliposomes. Metal ion filling experiments showed that the initial rate of Zn2+ influx was a linear function of the molar ratio of ZitB to lipid and was related to the concentration of Zn2+ or Cd2+ by a hyperbola with a Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of 104.9 ± 5.4 (LM and 90.1 ± 3.7 µM, respectively. Depletion of proton stalled Cd2+ transport down its diffusion gradient, whereas tetraethylammonium ion substitution for K+ did not affect Cd2+ transport, indicating that Cd2+ transport is coupled to H+ rather than to K+. H+ transport was inferred by the H+ dependence of Cd2+ transport, showing a hyperbolic relationship with a Km of 19.9 nM for H+ Applying H+ diffusion gradients across the membrane caused Cd2+ fluxes both into and out of proteoliposomes against the imposed H+ gradients. Likewise, applying outwardly oriented membrane electrical potential resulted in Cd2+ efflux, demonstrating the electrogenic effect of ZitB transport. Taken together, these results indicate that ZitB is an antiporter catalyzing the obligatory exchange of Zn2+ or Cd2+ for lit The exchange stoichiometry of metal ion for proton is likely to be 1:1.

On one side are those who advocate that even though the electrons in these materials are strongly interacting, they can still be thought of as coherent waves propagating through a lattice of ions, leading to well-defined electronic states in momentum space. Superconducting regions exhibit a well-defined energy gap delimited by sharp spectral peaks, whereas pseudogap regions exhibit a smeared energy gap with no such peaks. This dichotomy has led to a debate concerning the interpretation of certain features seen in the Fourier transform of these spectra from real space to momentum space. One group has found a Fourier peak that appears to be nondispersive in energy, suggesting the formation of charged stripes in the material.

Here we show, for eight heterosexual transmission pairs, that recipient viruses were monophyletic, encoding compact, glycan-restricted envelope glycoproteins. These viruses were also uniquely sensitive to neutralization by antibody from the transmitting partner. Thus, the exposure of neutralizing epitopes, which are lost in chronic infection because of immune escape, appears to be favored in the newly infected host. This reveals characteristics of the envelope glycoprotein that influence HIV-1 transmission and may have implications for vaccine design.

In dilute Si[sub 1-x]Ge[sub x] islands we observe an extended shape evolution involving a new “barn” shape formed by introduction of steep {111} facets not observed at higher mismatch strain. This extended shape evolution implies a delayed onset of plastic deformation as a result of an altered competition between strain relaxation via coherent islands and the introduction of dislocations in this regime. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Within experimental error, the deformation behavior is found to be independent of the deuterium content and different for (001) and (100) surfaces. Multiple discontinuities (so-called “pop-in” events) in force-displacement curves are observed during indentation loading, but not during unloading. Slip is identified as the major mode of plastic deformation in DKDP, and pop-in events are attributed to the initiation of slip. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/03/29/ VL - 84 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 2385 EP - 2387 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - The dc bias field dependence of the dielectric loss in SrTiO[sub 3] thin films deposited onto MgO substrate is investigated. The experimental data obtained at different frequencies of the ac field (8 and 16 GHz) from differently processed films (as deposited and oxygen annealed) strongly suggest the occurrence of a crossover in the dominant loss mechanism. The crossover is driven by the dc bias field: at weak fields the loss is governed by an extrinsic mechanism(s) whereas, at higher fields, the contribution of an intrinsic mechanism (dc field-induced quasi-Debye loss) becomes predominant. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The spatially resolved PL spectrum has been studied by a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM). In the SNOM image, bright spots are observed on the sample surface. The PL spectrum at each bright spot is broad and is not sensitive to the monitored positions. The broad SNOM-PL spectrum at each spot is very similar to the macroscopic PL spectrum measured by conventional optics. The donor-acceptor pair luminescence process in nanocrystals is discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It would then be possible to obtain two electron–hole pairs from one. In bulk materials, this process is inherently inefficient due to the constraint of simultaneous energy and momentum conservation. We calculated the rate of these processes, and of selected competing ones, in CdSe colloidal dots, using our semi-empirical nonlocal pseudopotential approach. We find much higher carrier multiplication rates than in conventional bulk materials for electron excess energies just above the energy gap E[sub g]. We also find that in a neutral dot, the only effective competing mechanism is Auger cooling, whose decay rates can be comparable to those calculated for the carrier multiplication process. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A two-layered porous cathode design has been developed that includes a thinner layer with smaller grain diameters at the cathode/electrolyte interface followed by a relatively thicker outer layer with larger grains at the electrode/oxidant interface. Results are presented for the determination of spatially dependent current generation distributions, assessment of the importance of concentration polarization, and sensitivity to measurable microstructural variables. Estimates of the electrode performance in air at 700 °C indicate that performance approaching 3.1 A/cm2 at 0.078 V is theoretically possible. The limitations of the model are described, along with efforts needed to verify and refine the predictions. The feasibility of fabricating the electrode configuration is also discussed.

The relaxation kinetics were initiated using a laser-induced temperature jump and probed using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The kinetics monitored within the amide I' absorbance of the polypeptide backbone exhibit two distinct kinetics phases with nanosecond and microsecond relaxation times. The fast kinetics relaxation time is close to the diffusion limits placed on protein folding reactions. The fast kinetics phase is dominated by the relaxation of the solvated helix (v = 1632 cm-1), which reports on the fast relaxation of the individual helices. The slow kinetics phase follows the cooperative relaxation of the native helical bundle core that is monitored by both solvated (v = 1632 cm-1) and buried helical JR bands (v = 1652 cm-1). The folding rates of the slow kinetics phase calculated over an extended temperature range indicate that the core formation of this protein follows a pathway that is energetically downhill. The unfolding rates are much more strongly temperature-dependent indicating an activated process with a large energy barrier. These results provide significant insight into the primary process of protein folding and suggest that fast formation of helices can drive the folding of helical proteins.

The dependence of the limiting current, ilim, on the rotation rate of the RDE was found to display classical Levich behavior up to potentials well within the range in which Au forms a surface oxide in the neat (sulfite-free) supporting electrolyte. However, simultaneous in situ NNI-UVRS measurements performed at λ=500 nm during sulfite oxidation failed to show any evidence for the presence of oxide on the Au surface within that entire potential range. Polarization of the Au RDE at more positive potentials led to a sudden drop in ilim, ca. an order of magnitude, which correlated with an abrupt decrease in the intensity of the reflected light, consistent with formation of (one or more forms of) Au oxide on the surface. On the basis of these and other observations a model has been proposed in which sulfite reacts chemically with adsorbed oxygen on the surface (oxygen atom transfer) in the region that precedes partial inhibition. As the potential is increased, adsorbed oxygen undergoes Au–O place exchange forming two-dimensional nuclei on the surface, which undergo rapid (autocatalytic) growth, covering an area large enough to block significantly sulfite oxidation.

Because these next steps in the field are significantly different from the current or previous steps, novel techniques must be considered for both the detectors and the neutrino beams themselves. We consider not only conventional neutrino beams created by decays of pions, but also those which could be made by decays of beams of relativistic isotopes (so-called "β-beams") and also by decays of beams of muons (neutrino factories).

T1 - The prolonged culture of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in primary lymphocytes increases its sensitivity to neutralization by soluble CD4 JO - Virology JF - Virology Y1 - 2004/03/30/ VL - 321 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 8 SN - 00426822 AB - Primary strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are known to adapt to replication in cell lines in vitro by becoming sensitive to soluble CD4 (sCD4) and neutralizing antibodies (NAb). T-cell lines favor isolation of variants that use CXCR4 as a co-receptor, while primary isolates predominantly use CCR5. We have now studied how a primary R5 isolate, CC1/85, adapts to prolonged replication in primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). After 19 passages, a variant virus, CCcon.19, had increased sensitivity to both sCD4 and NAb b12 that binds to a CD4-binding site (CD4BS)-associated epitope, but decreased sensitivity to anti-CD4 antibodies. CCcon.19 retains the R5 phenotype, its resistance to other NAbs was unaltered, its sensitivity to various entry inhibitors was unchanged, and its ability to replicate in macrophages was modestly increased. We define CCcon.19 as a primary T-cell adapted (PTCA) variant. Genetic sequence analysis combined with mutagenesis studies on clonal, chimeric viruses derived from CC1/85 and the PTCA variant showed that the most important changes were in the V1/V2 loop structure, one of them involving the loss of an N-linked glycosylation site. Monomeric gp120 proteins expressed from CC1/85 and the PTCA variant did not differ in their affinities for sCD4, suggesting that the structural consequences of the sequence changes were manifested at the level of the native, trimeric Env complex. Overall, the adaptation process probably involves selection for variants with higher CD4 affinity and hence greater fusion efficiency, but this also involves the loss of some resistance to neutralization by agents directed at or near to the CD4BS. The loss of neutralization resistance is of no relevance under in vitro conditions, but NAbs would presumably be a counter-selection pressure against such adaptive changes in vivo, at least when the humoral immune response is intact.

The results validate PAC for measuring the thermochemistry of free radicals in water. Furthermore, it introduces a new advanced approach to defining realistic solute cavities for ab initio continuum models of solvation.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/03/31/ VL - 126 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 4007 EP - 4016 SN - 00027863 AB - It is well-known that time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) yields substantial errors for the excitation energies of charge-transfer (CT) excited states, when approximate standard exchange-correlation (xc) functionals are used, for example, SVWN, BLYP, or B3LYP. Also, the correct 1/R asymptotic behavior of CT states with respect to a distance coordinate R between the separated charges of the CT state is not reproduced by TDDFT employing these xc-functionals. Here, we demonstrate by analysis of the TDDFT equations that the first failure is due to the self-interaction error in the orbital energies from the ground-state DFT calculation, while the latter is a similar self-interaction error in TDDFT arising through the electron transfer in the CT state. Possible correction schemes, such as inclusion of exact Hartree-Fock or exact Kohn-Sham exchange, as well as aspects of the exact xc-functional are discussed in this context. Furthermore, a practical approach is proposed which combines the benefits of TDDFT and configuration interaction singles (CIS) and which does not suffer from electron-transfer self-interaction. The latter approach is applied to a (1,4)-phenylene-linked zincbacteriochlorin-bacteriochlorin complex and to a bacteriochlorophyll-spheroidene complex, in which CT states may play important roles in energy and electron-transfer processes. The errors of TDDFT alone for the CT states are demonstrated, and reasonable estimates for the true excitation energies of these states are given.

Analytical performance of these sampling strategies was compared by using 213 nm laser ablation ICP-MS. A geological rock (Tuff) was quantitatively analyzed based on NIST series 610-616 glass standard reference materials. Laser ablation data were compared to ICP-MS analysis of the dissolved samples. The scan strategy (50 μm/s) produced a flat, steady temporal ICP-MS response whereas the single spot strategy produced a signal that decayed with time (after 60 s). Single-spot sampling provided better accuracy and precision than the scan strategy when the first 15 s of the sampling time was eliminated from the data analysis. In addition, the single spot strategy showed less matrix dependence among the four NIST glasses.

This laboratory has recently reported the construction and characterization of a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ToF-MS) utilizing a radio frequency glow discharge ionization source. Data acquisition and analysis was performed using a digital oscilloscope and Microsoft Excel, respectively. Presently, no software package is available that is specifically designed for time-of-flight mass spectral analysis that is not instrument dependent. While spreadsheet applications such as Excel offer tremendous utility, they can be cumbersome when repeatedly performing tasks which are too complex or too user intensive for macros to be viable. To address this situation and make data analysis a faster, simpler task, our laboratory has developed a Microsoft Windows-based software program coded in Microsoft Visual Basic. This program enables the user to rapidly perform routine data analysis tasks such as mass calibration, plotting and smoothing on x–y data sets. In addition to a suite of tools for data analysis, a number of calculators are built into the software to simplify routine calculations pertaining to linear ToF-MS. These include mass resolution, ion kinetic energy and single peak identification calculators. A detailed description of the software and its associated functions is presented followed by a characterization of its performance in the analysis of several representative ToF-MS spectra obtained from different GD-ToF-MS systems.

Researchers found that SSAS has a high potential for completing the upper region of geothermal wells, which contains a highly concentrated acid and some carbon dioxide. Ground granulated blast furnace slag is very attractive for use as a cementitious material because of its resistance to sulphate attack, its ability to mitigate alkali silica reactions, and its low price. Alkaline activators, such as caustic alkalis, non-silicate salts and silicates, have been incorporated into the slag cement to stimulate latent hydrolytic properties, and also to promote hydration.

JO - American Journal of Science JF - American Journal of Science Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 304 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 287 EP - 332 SN - 00029599 AB - Heulandite is the most effective sink for Sr in basaltic aquifers that have undergone zeolite facies metamorphism, the experimental results of this study will provide essential data for modeling Sr transport in aquifers in low-grade metabasalts. Heulandite is a common rock-forming zeolite that exhibits wide solid solution of extraframework cations, presumably due to ready ion exchange with aqueous solutions. In order to provide a quantitative basis for interpreting and predicting the distribution of aqueous species between heulandite and aqueous solutions, ion exchange equilibrium between heulandite and aqueous solutions with respect to the binary cation pairs Ca2+-K+, Ca2+ Ca+,K+-Na+,K+-Sr2+, Na+Sr2+, and a2+-Sr2+ was investigated. Homoionic Ca-, K-, and Na-heulandites prepared from natural heulandite were equilibrated with 0.1 N Cl- solutions containing various proportions of the cations in a given binary pair at 55 and 85 °C to define isotherms describing partitioning of the cations over a wide range of heulandite and solution composition with respect to the cations in each pair. In general, the experiments equilibrated rapidly, within 11 to 15 weeks at 55 °C and 3 to 4 weeks at 85 °C. The exception was the Ca2+ - Sr2+ binary exchange, which did not equilibrate even after 3 months at 55 °C and 4 weeks at 85 °C. Slow exchange of Sr2+ for Ca2+ also prohibited preparation of homoionic Sr-heulandite from the natural (Ca-rich) heulandite within 10 weeks in 2N SrCl2 solution at 90 °C, although near homoionic Sr-heulandite was produced by exchange of K- and Na-heulandite. Experimentally determined isotherms were used to derive equilibrium constants for the ion exchange reactions and asymmetric Margules models describing the extent of non-ideality in extra framework solid solutions in heulandite. Regressed equilibrium constants for Ca2+-Na+, Ca2+-K+, and K+Na+ binary cation pairs at 55 °C are internally consistent among each other (complying with the triangle rule), indicating good accuracy of these data. The maximum departure from internal consistency among the equilibrium constants for three binary pairs was 900 J per mole of charge equivalents (eq) for the 55 °C experiments and 2300 J eq-1 for the 85 °C experiments. The applicability of the present experimental results and thermodynamic models was assessed by calculating the composition of heulandite in Icelandic geothermal systems from known compositions using the regressed thermodynamic properties of Ca2+-Na+ exchange at 85 °C. Calculations predict an average Ca mole fraction [defined as Ca/(Ca+Na)] in heulandite of 0.74, in excellent agreement with observed compositions of heulandite from geothermal and metamorphic systems in Iceland (0.75). Thermodynamic data for heulandite ion-exchange derived in this study can be used to predict partitioning of Ca, K, Na, and Sr between heulandite and aqueous solutions in geologic systems.

JO - American Mineralogist JF - American Mineralogist Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 89 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 572 EP - 585 SN - 0003004X AB - Synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is becoming an increasingly popular tool for the analysis of element speciation in complex natural mixtures such as soils and sediments. Identification of a particular mineral or amorphous solid in a heterogeneous mixture by XAS depends on the spectral uniqueness of the element in the bonding environment associated with a component, and on absorption effects from the components and the matrix. A suite of 27 common, Fe-bearing reference compounds, including sulfides, carbonates, phosphates, oxides, oxyhydroxides, and phyllosilicates, was analyzed to empirically assess the utility of X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) for identifying a particular Fe mineral (or class of minerals) in a soil or sediment mixture. We show that XANES spectral features are useful for distinguishing qualitatively among major mineral classes, but not necessarily for identifying minerals within classes. A practical detection limit (based on empirical mixtures) for most mineral classes is on the order of 5% of the total atomic Fe absorption, but detection limits vary depending on the spectral uniqueness of the components, the number of components, and the matrix. Calibration curves for Fe sulfide and non-sulfide (phyllosilicate ± oxide) component mixtures were made independently from the analyses of XANES and EXAFS fluorescence spectra of binary and ternary mineral mixtures (at 5% total Fe) in a quartz matrix to mimic natural sediments. Because of differences in sample and matrix absorption and fluorescence among sulfide and phyllosilicate minerals, apparent component fractions of pyrite derived from fits deviated significantly from linear binary mixtures. We show that corrections for non-linear fluorescence (as much as 20%) are particularly important for binary mineral mixtures with different densities and absorption characteristics (such as sulfides and phyllosilicates...

ELISA selective immunological method to detect pathogenic bacteria. ELISA is also directly adaptable to a miniature biochip system that utilizes conventional sample platforms such as polymer membranes and glass. The antibody-immobilized capillary reactor is a very attractive sample platform for ELISA because of its low cost, compactness, reuse, and ease of regeneration. Moreover, an array of capillary reactors can provide high-throughput ELISA. In this report, we describe the use of an array of antibody-immobilized capillary reactors for multiplex detection of E. coli O157:H7 in our miniature biochip system. Side-entry laser beam irradiation to an array of capillary reactors contributes significantly to miniaturized optical configuration for this biochip system. The detection limits of E. coli O157:H7 using the ELISA and Cy5 label-based immunoassays were determined to be 3 and 230 cells, respectively. This system shows capability to simultaneously monitor multifunctional immunoassay and high sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7.

In this paper we work out the corresponding classical description of these sectors, including the WZW orientation-orbifold action—which is naturally defined on the solid half cylinder—and its associated WZW orientation-orbifold branes. As a generalization, we also obtain the sigma-model orientation-orbifold action, which describes a much larger class of open-string orientation-orbifold sectors. As special cases, this class includes twisted open-string free boson examples, the open-string WZW sectors above and the open-string sectors of the general coset orientation orbifold. Finally, we derive the orientation-orbifold Einstein equations, in terms of twisted Einstein tensors—which hold when the twisted open-string sigma-model sectors are 1-loop conformal.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 70 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2474 EP - 2485 SN - 00992240 AB - The morphology of citric acid production strains of Aspergillus niger is sensitive to a variety of factors, including the concentration of manganese (Mn2+). Upon increasing the Mn2+ concentration in A. niger (ATCC 11414) cultures to 14 ppb or higher, the morphology switches from pelleted to filamentous, accompanied by a rapid decline in citric acid production. The molecular mechanisms through which Mn2+ exerts effects on morphology and citric acid production in A. niger cultures have not been well defined, but our use of suppression subtractive hybridization has identified 22 genes responsive to Mn2+. Fifteen genes were differentially expressed when A. niger was grown in media containing 1,000 ppb of Mn2+ (filamentous form), and seven genes were expressed in 10 ppb of Mn2+ (pelleted form). Of the 15 filament-associated genes, seven are novel and eight share 47 to 100% identity with genes from other organisms. Five of the pellet-associated genes are novel, and the other two genes encode a pepsin-type protease and polyubiquitin. All 10 genes with deduced functions are either involved in amino acid metabolism-protein catabolism or cell regulatory processes. Northern blot analysis showed that the transcripts of all 22 genes were rapidly enhanced or suppressed by Mn2+. Steady-state mRNA levels of six selected filament-associated genes remained high during 5 days of culture in a filamentous state and remained low under pelleted growth conditions. The opposite behavior was observed for four selected pellet-associated genes. The full-length cDNA of the filament-associated clone, Brsa-25, was isolated. Antisense expression of Brsa-25 permitted pelleted growth and increased citrate production at concentrations of Mn2+ that were higher than the parent strain could tolerate. These results suggest the involvement of the newly isolated genes in the regulation of A. niger morphology.

Development of strategies/systems for the postharvest handling of corn stover involves quantifying what corn stover biomass is available over time after grain physiological maturity has been reached. It also involves understanding how the biomass is distributed in the different aboveground components of the corn plant. The objectives of this preliminary investigation were to measure the allocation of biomass to aboveground components of the corn plant over time and to develop relationships for estimating total aboveground corn plant biomass through simple corn plant dimensional measurements. Aboveground biomass distribution for two corn cultivars (Pioneer 32K61 and 32K64 Bt) was studied in standing plants from roughly 1 week before grain physiological maturity until 4 weeks after grain harvest from other plots in the field. Over the monitoring period, the amount of dry matter in stover averaged 50% of the total aboveground dry plant mass with stalks comprising 50% of the stover dry matter at the time grain was harvested. This study indicated that the more conservative 0.8:1 stover:grain fresh weight ratio, rather than the 1:1 widely used, may be more realistic at the grain harvest moisture range of 18–31% w.b. Such precondition has not been clearly emphasized in the literature. Regression equations involving stalk diameter and plant height for DeKalb 626 derived to estimate fresh green weight and dry matter of the corn plant above the ground had a maximum R2 of 0.75.

Biomass used was sanding waste from furniture manufacture. Powder River Basin subbituminous and Pittsburgh No. 8 bituminous coals (screened from −1.2 to +0.25 mm) were mixed with sawdust (screened to −1.2 mm) and pneumatically conveyed into the gasifier at an operating pressure of 3.03 MPa. Feed mixtures ranged up to 35% by weight biomass. The results of gasification tests of subbituminous coal/sawdust mixtures showed few differences in operations compared to subbituminous coal only tests. The bituminous coal mixture had marked differences. Transport properties of coal/biomass mixtures were greatly improved compared to coal only.

Solid PLA polymers mixed in water hydrolyzed abiotically to release lactic acid into solution over an extended period of time. The addition of both PLA and gypsum was required for indigenous bacteria to lower redox potential, raise pH, and stimulate sulfate reduction activity in highly oxidized smelter tailings after one year of treatment. Bioavailable cadmium, copper, lead and zinc were all lowered significantly in PLA/gypsum treated soil, but PLA amendments alone increased the bioavailability of lead, nickel and zinc. Similar PLA amendments may be useful in constructed wetlands and reactive barrier walls for the passive treatment of mine drainage, where enhanced rates of bacterial sulfate reduction are desirable.

JO - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society JF - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 85 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 563 EP - 586 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00030007 AB - The U.S. Weather Research Program convenes expert working groups on a one-time basis to identify critical research needs in various problem areas. The most recent expert working group was charged to “identify and delineate critical meteorological research issues related to the prediction of air quality.” In this context, “prediction” is denoted as “forecasting” and includes the depiction and communication of the present chemical state of the atmosphere, extrapolation or nowcasting, and numerical prediction and chemical evolution on time scales up to several days. Emphasis is on the meteorological aspects of air quality. The problem of air quality forecasting is different in many ways from the problem of weather forecasting. The latter typically is focused on prediction of severe, adverse weather conditions, while the meteorology of adverse air quality conditions frequently is associated with benign weather. Boundary layer structure and wind direction are perhaps the two most poorly determined meteorological variables for regional air quality prediction. Meteorological observations are critical to effective air quality prediction, yet meteorological observing systems are designed to support prediction of severe weather, not the subtleties of adverse air quality. Three-dimensional meteorological and chemical observations and advanced data assimilation schemes are essential. In the same way, it is important to develop high-resolution and self-consistent databases for air quality modeling; these databases should include land use, vegetation, terrain elevation, and building morphology information, among others. New work in the area of chemically adaptive grids offers significant promise and should be pursued. The quantification and effective communication of forecast uncertainty are still in their early stages and are very important for decision makers; this also includes the visualization of air quality and meteorological observations and forecasts. Research is also needed to develop effective metrics for the evaluation and verification of air quality forecasts so that users can understand the strengths and weaknesses of various modeling schemes. Last, but not of least importance, is the need to consider the societal impacts of air quality forecasts and the needs that they impose on researchers to develop effective and useful products. *This is an abridged version of the final report of PDT-11.

In this article, we review the structures of the complexes of ALR2 with IDD 594 (resolution: 0.66 Å, IC50 (concentration of the inhibitor that produced half-maximal effect): 30 nM, space group: P21), IDD 393 (resolution: 0.90 Å, IC50: 6 nM, space group: P1), fidarestat (resolution: 0.92 Å, IC50: 9 nM, space group: P21) and minalrestat (resolution: 1.10 Å, IC50: 73 nM, space group: P1). The structures are compared and found to be highly reproductible within the same space group (root mean square (RMS) deviations: 0.15 ∼ 0.3 Å). The mode of binding of the carboxylate inhibitors IDD 594 and IDD 393 is analysed. The binding of the carboxylate head can be accurately determined by the subatomic resolution structures, since both the protonation states and the positions of the atoms are very precisely known. The differences appear in the binding in the specificity pocket. The high-resolution structures explain the differences in IC50, which are confirmed both experimentally by mass spectrometry measures of VC50 and theoretically by free energy perturbation calculations. The binding of the cyclic imide inhibitors fidarestat and minalrestat is also described, focusing on the observation of a Cl- ion which binds simultaneously with fidarestat. The presence of this anion, binding also to the active site residue His110, leads to a mechanism in which the inhibitor can bind in a neutral state and then become charged inside the active site pocket. This mechanism can explain the excellent in vivo properties of cyclic imide inhibitors. In summary, the complete and detailed information supplied by the subatomic resolution structures can explain the differences in binding energy of the different inhibitors.

Such flows are of practical importance and involve highly complex fluid dynamics, the effects of which on the chemistry remain only vaguely understood. The LIF technique is used to measure the concentrations of OH, NO, and CO. Scatter plots are presented in mixture fraction space where each data point is colour coded to reveal its original radial location. Means and rms fluctuations of the mixing, temperature, composition and reactedness fields are also shown for flames of various fuels covering a range of swirl and Reynolds numbers. The complete data set which includes flow, mixing, temperature, and composition fields is made available on the web. It is found that, with increasing swirl number, the stability limits of the flames are broadened but the scatter plots show locally unburnt fluid samples occurring in flames further from global blow-off than nonswirling bluff-body-stabilised flames of similar fuel mixtures. Another novel feature of swirling flames is the detection of local nonburning or extinction within a recirculation zone which develops, at high swirl numbers, further downstream in the flow. It is found that most of the unburnt fluid samples originate from radial locations closer to the coflow air rather than the fuel jet. The means and rms fluctuations of the mixing fields confirm that swirl enhances mixing, especially in the primary recirculation zone and leads to a broadening of the jet.

The decomposition mechanisms of the binder materials are treated separately from that of HMX, and the chemical reactions of each constituent are assumed to occur independently. Experimental data and theoretical predictions of the thermal properties, decomposition pathways, and chemical kinetic reaction rate constants are used to develop reaction sequences for each of the components present in the PBX at various weight percentages. The measured times to thermal explosion at various initial temperatures in a new One-Dimensional Time-to-Explosion (ODTX) apparatus are compared to the Chemical TOPAZ predictions. Two series of pristine HMX spheres formulated with coarse and fine particles are tested for the first time in an ODTX apparatus. The pure HMX data clearly show that the presence of an endothermic binder in a PBX increases the times to thermal explosion, while the presence of an exothermic binder decreases the times to explosion. The magnitudes of these changes in explosion time depend upon the chemical stabilities and heats of reaction of these binders. A four-step decomposition model is developed for HMX, which includes the β to δ solid-phase transition as the first endothermic reaction. This model accurately reproduces the pure HMX curves. Decomposition models for the various binder components are then used with the HMX model to accurately reproduce the ODTX time-to-explosion curves. Comparisons are also made to times to thermal explosion obtained in various experiments involving aged PBXs, ramped temperature rate increases, unconfined explosives, and a larger size, cylindrical geometry called the scaled thermal explosion experiment.

Three soot samples produced using a reference diesel fuel and the reference fuel plus two oxygenate additives were investigated. The presence of objects at three typical size ranges, i.e., aggregates, primary particles, and subunits, was observed. By studying soot powders and pellets from pressed powder, a separation of scattering contributions from aggregates and primary particles was possible. The scattering curves of soot from oxygenated diesel show significant differences between samples obtained under idle and load conditions. Soot from regular diesel fuel did not show such differences.

At the micro-scale, the virgin and reduced elastic properties of the reference aligned fiber composite are determined using micromechanical models [Proc. Roy Soc. Lond. A241 (1957) 376; Acta Metall. 21 (1973) 571; Mech. Mater. 2 (1983) 123], and are then distributed over all possible orientations in order to compute the stiffness of the random fiber composite containing random matrix microcracks. After that the macroscopic response is obtained by means of a continuum damage mechanics formulation, which extends the thermodynamics based approach in [Comp. Sci. Technol. 46 (1993) 29] to randomly oriented short-fiber composites. Damage accumulations leading to initiation and propagation of a macroscopic crack are modeled using a vanishing element technique. The model is validated against the published experimental data and results [Comp. Sci. Technol 55 (1995) 171]. Finally, its practical application is illustrated through the damage analysis of a random glass/epoxy composite plate containing a central hole and under tensile loading.

Material damages induced by fiber debonding and crack nucleation and growth are considered. Systematic computational algorithms are developed to combine the damage models into the constitutive relation. Based on the implemented computational model, a range of simulations are carried out to probe the behavior of the composites and to validate the proposed methodology. Numerical examples show that the present computational model is capable of modeling progressive deterioration of effective stiffness and softening behavior after the peak load. Crushing behavior of composite tube is also simulated, which shows the applicability of the proposed computational model for crashworthiness simulations.

We extend popular APIs such as Open Inventor and VTK to support commodity-based cluster visualization. Our implementation follows a standard master/slave concept: the general idea is to have a “Master” node, which will intercept a sequential graphical user interface and broadcast it to the “Slave” nodes. The interactions between the nodes are implemented using MPI. The parallel remote rendering uses Chromium. This paper is mainly the report of our implementation experiences. We present in detail the proposed model and key aspects of its implementation. Also, we present performance measurements, we benchmark and quantitatively demonstrate the dependence of the visualization speed on the data size and the network bandwidth, and we identify the singularities and draw conclusions on Chromium''s sort-first rendering architecture. The most original part of this work is the combined use of Open Inventor and Chromium.

The films were deposited on c-Si substrates kept at 250 K, 300 K and 420 K, respectively, the self-bias voltage (Vb) ranging from -50 to -500 V. The chemical composition and atomic density of different films were determined by ion beam analysis. The film microstructure and chemical bonding were probed by means of Raman scattering and infrared spectroscopy. The internal stress was determined through the measure of substrate curvature by a profilometer. The deposition rates are dependent on the substrate temperature in agreement with the adsorbed layer model. In fact, the films deposited on the substrate at low-temperature have a polymeric character, revealed by the high content of hydrogen and of C(sp3)-H bonds, low density and low internal stress. However, Raman results indicate an increase of the sp2 domains upon increase of self-bias voltage that is more important for films deposited on substrate at high temperature. Finally, internal stress measurements show a maximum at Vb=-160 V for films deposited in Ar–CH4 atmospheres, while it occurs at Vb=-270 V for films deposited from pure methane atmospheres.

T1 - Dysfunctional mammalian telomeres join with DNA double-strand breaks JO - DNA Repair JF - DNA Repair Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 3 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 349 SN - 15687864 AB - In addition to joining broken DNA strands, several non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) proteins have a second seemingly antithetical role in constructing functional telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures at the termini of linear eukaryotic chromosomes that prevent joining between natural chromosome ends. Although NHEJ deficiency impairs double-strand break (DSB) repair, it also promotes inappropriate chromosomal end fusions that are observed microscopically as dicentric chromosomes with telomeric DNA sequence at points of joining. Here, we test the proposition that unprotected telomeres can fuse not only to other dysfunctional telomeres, but also to ends created by DSBs.Severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) is caused by a mutation in the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), an enzyme required for both efficient DSB repair and telomeric end-capping. Cells derived from wild-type, Trp53−/−, scid, and Trp53−/−/scid mice were exposed to gamma radiation to induce DSBs, and chromosomal aberrations were analyzed using a novel cytogenetic technique that can detect joining of a telomere to a DSB end. Telomere–DSB fusions were observed in both cell lines having the scid mutation, but not in wild-type nor Trp53−/− cells. Over a range of 25–340 cGy, half of the visible exchange-type chromosomal aberrations in Trp53−/−/scid cells involved telomere–DSB fusions. Our results demonstrate that unprotected telomeres are not only sensed as, but also acted upon, by the DNA repair machinery as if they were DSB ends. By opening a new pathway for misrepair, telomere–DSB fusion decreases the overall fidelity of DSB repair. The high frequency of these events in scid cells indicates telomere dysfunction makes a strong, and previously unsuspected, contribution to the characteristic radiation sensitivity associated with DNA-PK deficiency.

I was permitted to continue Science as long as there were some resources to support research that had some relevance to the organization’s goals. A number of projects on which I worked were continuations of ones begun before the age of 65 (1986) and several new ones were based on both previous interests and ideas and some on new ideas. A number of the ideas arose from participation on Committees of the US National Research Council. I was able to extend my earlier interests in DNA repair to include experiments on the variations in DNA repair among apparently normal humans. In collaborations with other researchers we showed that the repair abilities following exposures to chemicals or to ionizing or ultraviolet (UV) radiation did not follow Poisson distributions. I participated in experiments, using a fish model to estimate the wavelength ranges in sunlight responsible for inducing melanoma and another fish model to estimate the germ cell mutations that might arise from exposures to the heavily ionizing particles in cosmic rays beyond low Earth orbit. A transgenic fish model was used to investigate the possibilities of using the fish to assay for mutagens in sediments in Long Island Sound. These Reflections summarize the atmosphere necessary for a second life and the scientific results of this life.

Taken separately, each approach faces methodological, spatial, and temporal limitations that potentially constrain the generality of results and predictions. Integration of the two approaches within a single study can overcome some of those limitations and provide ways to distinguish among consistent, dynamic, and context-dependent ecosystem responses to global warming. A simple conceptual model and two case studies that focus on climate change impacts on flowering phenology and carbon cycling in a subalpine meadow ecosystem illustrate the utility of this type of integration.

Concentrated sunlight approaching 10 kW heats a 9.4 cm long×2.4 cm diameter graphite reaction tube to temperatures ~2000 K using a 74% theoretically efficient secondary concentrator. Pure methane feed has been dissociated to 70% for residence times less than 0.1 s. The resulting carbon black is 20–40 nm in size, amorphous, and pure. A 5 million (M) kg/yr carbon black/1.67 M kg/yr H2 plant is considered for process scale-up. The total permanent investment (TPI) of this plant is $12.7 M. A 15% IRR after tax is achieved when the carbon black is sold for $0.66/kg and the H2 for $13.80/GJ. This plant could supply 0.06% of the world carbon black market. For this scenario, the solar-thermal process avoids 277 MJ fossil fuel and 13.9 kg-equivalent CO2/kg H2 produced as compared to conventional steam-methane reforming and furnace black processing.

The operating large-scale solar parabolic trough plants in the USA currently use a high temperature synthetic oil in the solar field consisting of a eutectic mixture of biphenyl/diphenyl oxide. The scope of the overall investigation included examination of known critical issues, postulating solutions or possible approaches where potential problems existed, and the quantification of performance and electricity cost using preliminary, but reasonable, cost inputs. The two leading candidates were the so-called solar salt (a binary salt consisting of 60% NaNO3 and 40% KNO3) and a salt sold commercially as HitecXL (a ternary salt consisting of 48% Ca(NO3)2, 7% NaNO3, and 45% KNO3). Operation and maintenance (O&M) becomes an important concern with molten salt in the solar field. This paper addresses that concern, focusing on design and O&M issues associated with routine freeze protection, solar field preheat methods, collector loop maintenance and the selection of appropriate materials for piping and fittings.

This concept was successfully demonstrated in a commercial trough plant (13.8 MWe SEGS I plant; 120 MWht storage capacity) and a demonstration tower plant (10 MWe Solar Two; 105 MWht storage capacity). However, the HTF used in state-of-the-art parabolic trough power plants (30–80 MWe) is expensive, dramatically increasing the cost of larger HTF storage systems. An engineering study was carried out to evaluate a concept, where another (less expensive) liquid medium such as molten salt is utilized as storage medium rather than the HTF itself. Detailed performance and cost analyses were conducted to evaluate the economic value of this concept. The analyses are mainly based on the operation experience from the SEGS plants and the Solar Two project. The study concluded that the specific cost for a two-tank molten salt storage is in the range of US$ 30–40/kWhth depending on storage size. Since the salt storage was operated successfully in the Solar Two project, no major barriers were identified to realize this concept in the first commercial parabolic trough power plant.

These plants utilize steam Rankine cycle power plants, and as a result, most people associate parabolic trough solar technology with steam Rankine cycle power plant technology. Although these plants are clearly optimized for their particular application, other power cycle designs may be appropriate in other situations. Of particular interest is the integration of parabolic trough solar technology with combined cycle power plant technology. This configuration is referred to as integrated solar combined cycle systems (ISCCS). Four potential projects in India, Egypt, Morocco, and Mexico are considering the ISCCS type solar power cycle configurations. The key questions are when is the ISCCS configuration preferred over the SEGS power cycle configuration and how is the ISCCS plant designed to optimize the integration of the solar field and the power cycle. This paper reviews the results of a collaborative effort under the International Energy Agency SolarPACES organization to address these questions and it shows the potential environmental and economic benefits of each configuration.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 33 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 507 EP - 518 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 0364152X AB - Measurement of the change in soil carbon that accompanies a change in land use (e.g., forest to agriculture) or management (e.g., conventional tillage to no-till) can be complex and expensive, may require reference plots, and is subject to the variability of statistical sampling and short-term variability in weather. In this paper, we develop Carbon Management Response (CMR) curves that could be used as an alternative to in situ measurements. The CMR curves developed here are based on quantitative reviews of existing global analyses and field observations of changes in soil carbon. The curves show mean annual rates of soil carbon change, estimated time to maximum rates of change, and estimated time to a new soil carbon steady state following the initial change in management. We illustrate how CMR curves could be used in a carbon accounting framework while effectively addressing a number of potential policy issues commonly associated with carbon accounting. We find that CMR curves provide a transparent means to account for changes in soil carbon accumulation and loss rates over time, and also provide empirical relationships that might be used in the development or validation of ecological or Earth systems models.

SN - 01676369 AB - The Columbia River at the Hanford Site, located in south-central Washington State, U.S.A., is a regionally important refugium for overwintering birds. Some of the river shoreline has been designated by the U.S. Department of Energy for environmental clean-up following past production of materials for nuclear weapons. We evaluated the effects of soil remediation on winter birds at six inactive nuclear reactor areas. Remediation activities consisted of daily excavation and removal of approximately 1035 t of contaminated soil from previously herbicided and denuded areas located between 30 and 400 m and mostly in line-of-sight of the river shoreline. Remediation activities had no apparent effect on numbers of riverine or terrestrial birds using adjacent undisturbed shoreline and riparian habitat.

Wastewaters containing uranium (U) and other actinides generated in nuclear reactors in processes related to generating energy and manufacturing nuclear weapons have been discharged to the ground during the past 50 years. As a result, U is one of the most common radionuclides in soils, sediments, and groundwater at the U.S. Department of Energy sites and is therefore of particular environmental concern. When selecting remediation processes, it is believed that in situ microbial reduction of U(VI) can be an attractive alternative strategy for remediation of U-contaminated subsurface environments. Traditional ex situ remediation processes are often limited by poor extraction efficiency and production of large volumes of toxic U waste.

In this paper I will discuss recent results from experiments on nuclei with very large deformations, including: the measurement of the spins, parities, and excitation energies of superdeformed bands in 152Dy; the observation of extreme deformations in 108Cd and the evidence for hyper-intruder states; the study of superdeformed nuclei around A ∼ 40, which provide an opportunity to test our microscopic understanding of collective excitations; and lifetimes of strongly deformed triaxial bands in 163Lu. I will conclude with a brief discussion on the next generation gamma-ray detector array, GRETA.

The properties and configurations of the high-spin bands observed have been interpreted using unpaired cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS), and for 72Kr, paired cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) calculations. In 72Kr a new band has been identified that has the properties expected for the doubly aligned S-band configuration. In 72Br the previously known bands have been extended to higher spin. This has lead to a re-interpretation of the configurations.

This study describes the isolation, identification, construction and re-colonisation patterns of three green fluorescent protein(gfp):kanamycinR labelled bacterial endophytes when re-introduced into poplar trees, their original host plant. Two of these endophytes showed considerable colonisation in the roots and stems of inoculated plants. gfp expressing cells of all three strains were observed to colonise the xylem tissue of the root. All three strains proved to be efficient rhizosphere colonisers, supporting the theory that the rhizosphere can serve as a source of bacterial endophytes.

Sex chromosomal nondisjunction increased with age in both human and rodent male germ cells. Both human and rodent data showed age-related increases in the number of sperm with chromosomal breaks and fragments and suggest that postmeiotic cells are particularly vulnerable to the effects of aging. Translocation frequencies increased with age in murine spermatocytes, at rates comparable to mouse and human somatic cells. Age-related mechanisms of induction may include accumulation of environmental damage, reduced efficiency of DNA repair, increased genomic instability, genetic factors, hormonal influences, suppressed apoptosis, or decreased effectiveness of antioxidants and micronutrients.: Conclusion(s)The weight of evidence suggests that the increasing trend toward fathering at older ages may have significant effects on the viability and genetic health of human pregnancies and offspring, primarily as a result of structural chromosomal aberrations in sperm.

The aims of the study were to: (a) investigate the dose-dependent formation of DNA and protein adducts at very low doses of AFB1 (0.16 ng/kg–12.3 μg/kg) in the rat; (b) measure the levels of AFB1-albumin and AFB1-DNA adducts at known, relevant exposures in humans (c) study rat to human extrapolations of AFB1-albumin and DNA adduct levels. The results in the rat showed that both AFB1-albumin adduct and AFB1-DNA adduct formation were linear over this wide dose range. The order of adduct formation within the tissues studied was liver>kidney>colon>lung=spleen. Consenting volunteers received 1 μg (∼15 ng/kg) of [14C]AFB1 in a capsule approximately ∼3.5–7 h prior to undergoing colon surgery. The mean level of human AFB1-albumin adducts was 38.8±19.55 pg [14C]AFB1/mg albumin/μg AFB1/kg body weight (b.w.), which was not statistically different to the equivalent dose in the rat (15 ng/kg) 42.29±7.13 pg [14C]AFB1/mg albumin/μg AFB1/kg b.w. There was evidence to suggest the formation of AFB1-DNA adducts in the human colon at very low doses. Comparison of the linear regressions of hepatic AFB1-DNA adduct and AFB1-albumin adduct levels in rat found them to be statistically similar suggesting that the level of AFB1-albumin adducts are useful biomarkers for AFB1 dosimetry and may reflect the DNA adduct levels in the target tissue. [14C]AFB1-DNA and [14C]AFB1-albumin adducts were hydrolysed and analysed by HPLC to confirm that the [14C] measured by AMS was derived from the expected [14C]AFB1 adducts.

Most models of growth are simply mathematical descriptions of growth trajectories. They are evaluated empirically based on goodness of statistical fit. 2. Recently we (West et al . 2001) presented a theory of growth based on first principles of energy conservation and allocation. The critical parameters are defined precisely and operationally in terms of measurable fundamental parameters not directly connected to growth, so the mechanistic basis of the model can be evaluated by testing both the assumptions and the predictions. To the extent that available data permit such evaluation, they generally support the model for many classes of organisms including mammals, birds, fish and crustacea. 3. Our model provides a basis for understanding the general and fundamental features governing ontogenetic growth. It is intended to explain the major patterns in terms of first principles of energy allocation to production (of new cells) and maintenance (of existing cells) that are applicable to all organisms. While the model is not intended to account for all of the observed variation in growth rates and life histories it does provide a baseline for developing more detailed treatments of ontogenetic growth. 4. Ricklefs (2003) has criticized the conceptual foundation of our theory as it applies to birds and asserts that it cannot account for many of their growth and life-history attributes. 5. He correctly points to similarities in mathematical form and statistical fit between our growth model and that of von Bertalanffy 1938, but fails to point out the fundamental conceptual differences between the two models. 6. With respect to birds, our model suggests a new hypothesis based on water balance, for the difference in growth allometry between altricial and precocial species. In particular we show that ours is the only model discussed by Ricklefs that correctly predicts the absolute value and scaling characteristics of the total energy metabolized by altricial birds from hatching to fledging. 7. In contrast, Ricklefs's models are of limited utility since they are primarily designed for birds, and are based on qualitative concepts such as 'growth potential' and 'functionality' of tissues and therefore do not readily lead to quantitative predictions. 8. Our model does not imply that mature or asymptotic size is determined simply by resource supply. It allows for a mature body size that is set by natural selection and that results in a balance of energy allocation between production of new biomass and maintenance of existing biomass.

JO - Functional Ecology JF - Functional Ecology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 257 EP - 282 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 02698463 AB - 1. Recent studies have resurrected the debate over the value for the allometric scaling exponent that relates whole-organism metabolic rate to body size. Is it ¾ or ⅔ ? This question has been raised before and resolved in favour of ¾ . Like previous ones, recent claims for a value of ⅔ are based almost entirely on basal metabolic rate (BMR) in mammals. 2. Here we compile and analyse a new, larger data set for mammalian BMR. We show that interspecific variation in BMR, as well as field metabolic rates of mammals, and basal or standard metabolic rates for many other organisms, including vertebrates, invertebrates, protists and plants, all scale with exponents whose confidence intervals include ¾ and exclude ⅔ . Our analysis of maximal metabolic rate gives a slope that is greater than and confidence intervals that exclude both ¾ and ⅔ . 3. Additionally, numerous other physiological rates that are closely tied to metabolism in a wide variety of organisms, including heart and respiratory rates in mammals, scale as M-¼ . 4. The fact that quarter-power allometric scaling is so pervasive in biology suggests that different allometric relations have a common, mechanistic origin and provides an empirical basis for theoretical models that derive these scaling exponents.

JO - Genome Research JF - Genome Research Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 539 EP - 548 SN - 10889051 AB - We present an analysis of rates and patterns of microevolutionary phenomena that have shaped the human, mouse, and rat genomes since their last common ancestor. We find evidence for a shift in the mutational spectrum between the mouse and rat lineages, with the net effect being a relative increase in GC content in the rat genome. Our estimate for the neutral point substitution rate separating the two rodents is 0.196 substitutions per site, and 0.65 substitutions per site for the tree relating all three mammals. Small insertions and deletions of 1-10 bp in length ("microindels'") occur at ∼5% of the point substitution rate. Inferred regional correlations in evolutionary rates between lineages and between types of sites support the idea that rates of evolution are influenced by local genomic or celt biological context. No substantial correlations between rates of point substitutions and rates of microindels are found, however, implying that the influences that affect these processes are distinct. Finally, we have identified those regions in the human genome that are evolving slowly, which are likely to include functional elements important to human biology. At least 5% of the human genome is under substantial constraint, most of which is noncoding.

The strategy is based on progressive alignment and consists of two main steps: (1) alignment of the mouse and rat genomes, and (2) alignment of human to either the mouse-rat alignments from step 1, or the remaining unaligned mouse and rat sequences. The resulting alignments demonstrate high sensitivity, with 87% of all human gene-coding areas aligned in both mouse and rat. The specificity is also high: <7% of the rat contigs are aligned to multiple places in human, and 97% of all alignments with human sequence >100 kb agree with a three-way synteny map built independently, using predicted exons in the three genomes. At the nucleotide level <1% of the rat nucleotides are mapped to multiple places in the human sequence in the alignment, and 96.5% of human nucleotides within all alignments agree with the synteny map. The alignments are publicly available online, with visualization through the novel Multi-VISTA browser that we also present.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 305 EP - 308 SN - 00917613 AB - Upper Devonian black shales of the eastern United States contain in places unusual beds of pyrite ooids. Textural and geochemical studies show that these originated as chamositic iron ooids that were replaced by pyrite during early diagenesis. Pyrite mimics the laminated texture of the precursor grain, yet inclusions of silicate minerals and instances of partial replacement reveal the secondary nature of the pyrite. Pyrite ooids occur above erosion surfaces that are considered sequence boundaries because of large lateral extent. Chamositic precursor ooids indicate an oxygenated water column and wave interaction with seafloor sediments at the time of their formation. This scenario agrees with earlier work that stipulates that erosion surfaces in Devonian black shales reflect lowering of sea level that allowed wave reworking and erosion of earlier-deposited black shales. Pyrite ooid beds thus furnish direct evidence of significant sea-level drops during the accumulation of Upper Devonian black shales in eastern North America.

Two wells located at different distances from the source of a mixed-waste plume in the fractured basalt aquifer were examined. In the well more distal from the plume source, an array of dialysis chambers filled with either deionized water or crushed basalt was equilibrated to compare the microorganisms collected in this fashion with those from core and groundwater samples collected in a traditional manner from the same well. The samples were characterized to determine the total amount of biomass, presence of specific populations or physiological groups, and potential community functions. Microorganisms and their activities were nearly undetectable in core and groundwater collected from the well farthest from the plume source and substantially enriched in both core and groundwater from the well closest to the plume source. In both wells, differences (statistically significant for some measures) were found between bacteria associated with the cores and those suspended in the groundwater. Significantly higher populations were found in the basalt- and water-filled dialysis chambers incubated in the open well compared with core and groundwater samples, respectively. For a given parameter, the variation among dialysis chambers incubated at different depths was much less than the high variation observed among core samples. Analyses on selected basalt- and water-filled dialysis chamber samples suggested that these two communities were compositionally similar but exhibited different potential functions. Documented knowledge of cell physiological changes associated with attachment and potential differences between attached and unattached communities in aquifers indicate that careful consideration should be given to the type of sample media (i.e., core, groundwater, substrata incubated in a well) used to represent a subsurface environment.

JO - Geophysical Journal International JF - Geophysical Journal International Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 157 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 415 EP - 425 SN - 0956540X AB - Gassmann's fluid substitution formulae for bulk and shear moduli were originally derived for the quasi-static mechanical behaviour of fluid-saturated rocks. It has been shown recently that it is possible to understand deviations from Gassmann's results at higher frequencies when the rock is heterogeneous, and in particular when the rock heterogeneity anywhere is locally anisotropic. On the other hand, a well-known way of generating anisotropy in the earth is through fine layering. Then, Backus' averaging of the mechanical behaviour of the layered isotropic media at the microscopic level produces anisotropic mechanical behaviour at the macroscopic level. For our present purposes, the Backus averaging concept can also be applied to fluid-saturated porous media, thereby permitting us to study how deviations from Gassmann's predictions could arise in an elementary fashion. We consider both open-pore and closed-pore boundary conditions between layers within this model in order to study in detail how violations of Gassmann's predictions can arise. After evaluating a number of possibilities, we find that two choices, and , stand out and that they satisfy a pair of product formulae , where are eigenvalues of the stiffness matrix for the pertinent quasi-compressional and quasi-shear modes. is the Reuss average for the bulk modulus, which is also the true bulk modulus K for the simple layered system. is the Voigt average. For an isotropic polycrystalline system composed of simple layered systems randomly oriented at the microscale, and are the upper and lower bounds respectively on the bulk modulus, and and are the upper and lower bounds, respectively, on the of interest here. For poroelasticity, we find that exhibits many of the expected/desired properties of an effective shear modulus, exhibiting dependence on fluid properties. In particular, it is dependent on the fluctuations in the layer shear moduli, and also is a monotonically increasing function of Skempton's coefficient B of pore-pressure build-up, which is itself a measure of the pore fluid's ability to stiffen the porous material in compression. Moreover also reduces exactly to one-half of the quasi-shear eigenvalue in the special case when the bulk modulus of all the layers is the same.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 86 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 416 EP - 424 SN - 00179078 AB - The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory inspected and cleaned two radionuclide air-sampling systems that continuously monitor radioactive air emissions from research and development facilities. The inspection and cleaning was performed to evaluate effective methods and potential cost impacts of maintenance requirements in the revised American National Standard Institute standard Sampling and Monitoring Releases of Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear Facilities. The standard requires at least annual inspections of sampling systems followed by cleaning if deposits are visible. During 2001 and 2002, inspections were performed leaving the sampling systems in place and inserting videoscope cables into different access points to allow viewing of the inside and outside of sampling manifolds and transport lines. Cleaning was performed on one of the systems by disconnecting and extracting the sampling manifold, then washing it with de-ionized water and scrub brushes. The wash water was analyzed for radioactivity and solids. Results of the inspection showed greater deposition in one of the systems than would be expected by a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered exhaust stream, possibly due to accumulation of dust from a short period when unfiltered air was exhausted from construction areas. The second system was also downstream of HEPA filters and appeared much cleaner. The videoscope was a useful and cost-effective tool and provided a better view than could be obtained with the naked eye. However, because even small amounts of deposition were made visible with the videoscope, clarification is needed in defining when probe washing is merited, particularly in existing sampling systems whose design is not conducive to easy removal and cleaning.

Data from studies evaluating the toxicity of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) to plants and soil invertebrates were reviewed for possible application to soil benchmark development. Toxicity data included LOAECs; estimated EC25s, EC20s, and LC50s; effective concentrations that caused greater than a 20% level of effect; and NOAECs. The variabilities in petroleum material, chemical analytical methodology, age of hydrocarbon-soil contact, nutrient amendment, and measured effects levels did not permit much meaningful aggregation of the data. Tenth, twenty-fifth, and fiftieth percentiles of toxicity and no-effects data are presented for unaggregated results within studies. Effects on invertebrates often occurred at concentrations of TPH lower than those associated with effects on plants. Lighter mixtures generally were associated with lower ranges of effects concentrations than heavier crude oil. Few aged and non-aged samples were available from the same study, and these did not show obvious trends regarding toxicity. Similarly, the addition of nutrients to promote bioremediation was not observed across studies to alter effective or nontoxic concentrations in a systematic way. Existing toxicity data are not sufficient to establish broadly applicable TPH ecotoxicity screening benchmarks with much confidence, even for specific mixtures.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 437 EP - 450 SN - 10807039 AB - Remediation of contaminated sites requires information on upper concentration limits of chemicals in environmental media that are protective of ecological receptors. These upper concentration limits can be considered ecological preliminary re- mediation goals (EcoPRGs). The motivation for developing EcoPRGs was to provide risk managers with a simple tool for evaluating remedial actions that would be protective of the environment. Hazard quotient calculations used to support ecological screening assessments were modified to derive soil EcoPRGs for terrestrial wildlife populations. The primary modification is a population area use factor that is the fraction of a terrestrial animal population potentially affected by the contaminated site. Wildlife assessment population boundaries are based on a receptor's dispersal distance; for mammals dispersal distance is strongly related to the linear dimension (square root) of home range. Assuming that wildlife are unlikely to disperse beyond some distance from their birth or natal site, dispersal distance can be thought of as the radius of the assessment population's boundaries. This general relationship is useful as a simple way to estimate assessment population areas for terrestrial animals and helps fill data gaps for wildlife without direct measurements of dispersal.

This investigation has developed a framework and computer code for coupling detailed air models with building energy and load calculations as an extension to the ASHRAE Toolkit for Building Load Calculations. Two nodal models and a momentum-zonal model were selected for testing the coupling framework in a program for hourly load calculations ora single thermal zone. The heat balance model for load and energy calculations is reformulated to use zone air temperature as a variable defined separately for each surface. Air system flow rates are determined using air model predictions for temperature at the air system returns and a room air control location. The effect of air models on sensible load was found to be minor except when aggressive diurnal thermal mass strategies were involved. Nodal models appear practical to implement in load and energy programs and should improve results for air system flow rate and return air temperatures. Results show increases of about a factor of four in computing time for nodal models compared to the well-mixed model. Computing time is increased by two orders with the three-dimensional momentum-zonal model.

The gap is filled with a ³He + 0.5%Xe gas mixture pressurized at 35 bar. The detector rejects signals generated by radiation interacting directly with the photodiodes and works as a "wall-less" detector, sensitive to interactions occurring only in the gas. The detector shows axial and radial position sensitivity to thermal neutrons within the gap between photodiodes. The position sensitivity is observed in good agreement with computer simulations. Applications are discussed.

It is shown that the number of cells in a single clone of B cells should scale as M and that the B-cell repertoire scales as ln ( cM), where c is a constant. The time that a B cell needs to circulate once through the organism is shown to scale as M1/4 ln ( cM). It is suggested that the scaling of other cell populations in the immune system could be derived from these scaling relations for B cells.

To represent the ductile metals, an anisotropic ductile plasticity/damage formulation is considered within the framework of continuum mechanics. The formulation is motivated from fracture mechanisms and physical observations in Al--Si--Mg aluminum alloys with second phases. The ductile damage mechanisms are represented by the classical ductile process of nucleation of voids at inclusions, followed by their growth and coalescence. Functions associated with each mechanism are related to different microstructural parameters. The damage, represented by a second rank tensor, is coupled to the Bammann--Chiesa--Johnson (BCJ) rate-dependent plasticity using the effective stress concept. The constitutive equations are integrated using a trapezoidal implicit scheme and implemented into an explicit finite element code. This implementation is used to predict damage during the forward axisymmetric extrusion of an aluminum bar. This example illustrates the applicability of the model to predict the initiation and the evolution of anisotropic damage in metal forming processes.

Internal state variables are established to characterize grain coarsening and material degradation observed experimentally. A damage-coupled viscoplastic constitutive model is formulated to take into account the effects of temperature and loading rates on mechanical response. The influence of fatigue loading frequency or strain rate, hold time, and temperature on mechanical behavior and fatigue life for 63Sn-37Pb solder alloy is examined. The fatigue failure predictions are compared with those obtained experimentally and found to be satisfactory.

Recent investigations suggest that falling film technology may effectively minimize black liquor fouling and improve productivity in a paper mill. This finding motivates the current work to analyze the transport phenomenon, enrichment and scale fouling of black liquor in a falling film evaporator. In the paper, a mathematical model based on a turbulent two-phase flow with multiple components is presented to investigate the transport processes of black liquor in a falling film evaporator. A phenomenological model of crystallization fouling is used to predict the fouling process. The results show the relationship between heat and mass transfer occurring within a very thin viscous sublayer close to the heat transfer surface, and the influence of soluble solids concentration and thermal boundary condition on the enrichment and scale fouling of black liquor.

The membrane is modeled as a 2-D fluid continuum endowed with bending resistance. The general theory is used to obtain equations that describe axisymmetric equilibrium states. The membrane is assumed to enclose a fluid medium, which transmits hydrostatic pressure to the membrane, and a point load is applied at the pole to simulate an AFM probe. Both types of loading are associated with a potential and the problem is then cast in a variational setting. The equilibrium equations and boundary conditions are obtained by applying standard variational procedures, resulting in a pair of coupled fourth-order differential equations to be solved for the shape of the meridian. Further refinements associated with global constraints on the enclosed volume and contact with a rigid substrate are introduced, and a solution strategy is proposed which relies on an iterative scheme for calculating the associated Lagrange multipliers.

T1 - Modeling and simulation of intersonic crack growth JO - International Journal of Solids & Structures JF - International Journal of Solids & Structures Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 41 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1773 SN - 00207683 AB - Intersonic crack growth has been studied using an interfacial fracture model in which an additional material phase within a bonding layer is proposed to describe the failure behavior of the interface. In this material phase, a strain gradient based damage model is applied with a built-in cohesive law, which is governed by an material intrinsic length scale that bridges the mechanisms that operate at continuum mechanics scale and at smaller scales. Simulations of the intersonic crack growth experiments (; ) have been performed with varying material length scales and other parameters. The study is focused on two subjects: (1) the process of decohesion-induced cracking, explaining fracture process zone initiation and propagation as well as the corresponding contact mechanisms; (2) propagation speed, investigating the effects of length scales and loading parameters.The simulations reveal that a fracture process zone initiates first and extends with a speed faster than shear wave speed. After initiation, the crack speed exhibits oscillations with an average value between cs√ of 2 and cl, where cs and cl refer to shear wave and dilatation wave speeds, respectively. In such a quasi-steady-state propagation, the crack opening profiles exhibit a time-invariant profile, while the fracture process zone size and decohesion energy remain constant. Contact between the crack faces is taken into account in the numerical simulations. A contact zone behind the crack tip has been captured which represents a self-healing-like mechanism. The leading edge of both the fracture process zone and the contact zone may cause strong shocks. When the average crack propagation speed approaches the supersonic region, two stress shocks radiate from the crack tip, corresponding to shear and dilatation wave radiation, respectively. The simulation results demonstrate that length and time scales play vital roles during crack propagation. Here the length scales refer to the bonding layer thickness and the material’s intrinsic length that governs energy dissipation during failure; whereas the time scales refer to the effects of material strain rate dependence, material failure speed, and wave propagation properties. A parameter Rs, expressed as the ratio of material shear strength and the applied stress that is calculated from the remote imposed displacement boundary condition, is proposed to scale crack speed. Intersonic propagation occurs when Rs is greater than a threshold value. The numerical computations are compared with experiments (; ) and the theoretical solution [Philos. Mag., A, in press], which demonstrates the trend that crack propagation is unstable in the open speed interval between cs and κvcs (2 and cl, where cs and cl refer to shear wave and dilatation wave speeds, respectively.

The coefficient κv is a function of material length scale, strain rate sensitivity, and boundary conditions. The moving particle finite element method, a newly developed meshfree method, and the pinball contact algorithm are applied in the numerical analysis.

The wavelength-resolved Laue technique is new to protein crystallography and has required the development of new strategies for data collection and data analysis. The software suite d*TREK has been adapted and used in combination with the Daresbury Laue software suite, the instrument control software PCSGUI, and the graphics program O, for data collection and processing in the protein crystallography station wavelength-resolved Laue environment. Examples are given, as typical, for data processing from rubredoxin, insulin and Dxylose isomerase with unit cells ranging from 34.32 × 35.31 × 44.23 Å to 93.78 × 88.53 × 102.90 Å, thus illustrating the power of the instrument and the scope of the instrument software.

A chemical diffusivity model was developed that takes into account the composition dependence of both the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy. In this model, the pre-exponential factor is given by D[sub 0]=22.32 exp(-0.22x) (cm[sup 2]/s), and the activation energy is ΔE=195.4-173.9x (kJ/mol), where x is the nonstoichiometry coefficient in CeO[sub 2-x]. The model describes well the oxygen removal kinetics for the entire time range (100 min), demonstrating its superiority over two popular mathematical models that can only fit part of the experimental data. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/04//4/1/2004 VL - 95 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3453 EP - 3465 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - When optical measurements of wafer curvature are used to determine thin-film stress, the laser beams that probe the sample are usually assumed to reflect specularly from the curved surface of the film and substrate. Yet, real films are not uniformly thick, and unintended thickness gradients produce optical diffraction effects that steer the laser away from the ideal specular condition. As a result, the deflection of the laser in wafer-curvature measurements is actually sensitive to both the film stress and the film-thickness gradient. We present a Fresnel–Kirchhoff optical diffraction model of wafer-curvature measurements that provides a unified description of these combined effects. The model accurately simulates real-time wafer-curvature measurements of nonuniform GaN films grown on sapphire substrates by vapor-phase epitaxy. During thin-film growth, thickness gradients cause the reflected beam to oscillate asymmetrically about the ideal position defined by the stress-induced wafer curvature. This oscillating deflection has the same periodicity as the reflectance of the growing film, and the deflection amplitude is a function of the film-thickness gradient, the mean film thickness, the wavelength distribution of the light source, the illuminated spot size, and the refractive indices of the film and substrate. For typical GaN films grown on sapphire, misinterpretation of these gradient-induced oscillations can cause stress-measurement errors that approach 10% of the stress-thickness product; much greater errors occur in highly nonuniform films. Only transparent films can exhibit substantial gradient-induced deflections; strongly absorbing films are immune. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Dielectric measurements show that an external electric field stabilizes the FE[sub RL] phase and moves the phase transformation to a higher temperature. The observation has been further verified by an in situ microfocused x-ray study where an external field can effectively induce the oxygen octahedral tilting in the crystalline lattice and extends the thermal stability region of the FE[sub RL] phase to a higher temperature. An analysis based on the combination of the Clausius–Clapeyron relationship with lattice dynamic principles suggests that the transformation from FE[sub RH] to FE[sub RL] is driven by a short-range interaction in the crystalline lattice. The origin of this short-range interaction is proposed, based on the structural evolution during the phase transformation. Experimental evidence suggests that such interaction driving the structural instability can be exploited by an external electric field near the phase transformation temperature and leads to an unusual, transient field-enhanced deformation near the FE[sub RH]/FE[sub RL] phase transformation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The thickness of the Cu layer was kept constant at 0.6 nm, while the thickness of the Mo layers varied from 2.5 to 20 nm for different specimens. The Cu layers exhibit a body centered cubic (bcc) structure and the interface between Cu and Mo remains sharp and planar in all specimens. Annealing of a Cu 0.6 nm/Mo 20 nm multilayer produced three-dimensional arrays of Cu nanoparticles lying along the previous interface. These Cu nanoparticles have an average particle size of roughly 2 nm with a bcc structure. Temperature-dependent resistivity measurements in as-deposited and annealed samples are reported. These data indicate that carrier scattering changes markedly as the system evolves from one that consists predominantly of planar interfaces to one dominated by spherical scattering centers. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 9 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 247 EP - 255 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09498257 AB - Chloride ions are essential for proper function of the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II (PS II). Although proposed to be directly ligated to the Mn cluster of the OEC, the specific structural and mechanistic roles of chloride remain unresolved. This study utilizes X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to characterize the Mn-Cl interaction in inorganic compounds that contain structural motifs similar to those proposed for the OEC. Three sets of model compounds are examined; they possess core structures MnIV3O4X (X=Cl, F, or OH) that contain a di-μ-oxo and two mono-μ-oxo bridges or MnIV2O2X (X=Cl, F, OH, OAc) that contain a di-μ-oxo bridge. Each set of compounds is examined for changes in the XAS spectra that are attributable to the replacement of a terminal OH or F ligand, or bridging OAc ligand, by a terminal Cl ligand. The X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) shows changes in the spectra on replacement of OH, OAc, or F by Cl ligands that are indicative of the overall charge of the metal atom and are consistent with the electronegativity of the ligand atom. Fourier transforms (FTs) of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra reveal a feature that is present only in compounds where chloride is directly ligated to Mn. These FT features were simulated using various calculated Mn-X interactions (X=O, N, Cl, F), and the best fits were found when a Mn-Cl interaction at a 2.2-2.3 Å bond distance was included. There are very few high-valent Mn halidecomplexes that have been synthesized, and it is important to make such a comparative study of the XANES and EXAFS spectra because they have the potential for providing information about the possible presence or absence of halide ligation to the Mn cluster in PS II.

These techniques have emerged as powerful surface analytical tools to deduce structure/property relationships in situ, at both air/solid and air/liquid interfaces. SFG and AFM studies have been performed to understand how the surface properties of polymers are linked to polymer bulk compositions, changes in the ambient environment, or the degree of mechanical strain. Specifically, this review discusses (1) the macroscopic- and molecular-level tracking of small end groups attached to polyurethane blends, engineered to reduce blood clotting; (2) the role of ambient humidity on the surface mechanics of soft contact lenses possessing different water content in the bulk; (3) the affect of cyclic stretch on the molecular surface structure of polyurethane films, designed to mimic the mechanical deformation caused by heartbeat; and (4) the molecular ordering of functional groups at the polystyrene-protein interface. The correlation of spectroscopic and mechanical data by SFG and AFM is a powerful methodology to study and design materials with tailored surface properties.

Rates and selectivities and the structure of supported clusters depend on the surface properties of the oxide supports. Raman spectroscopy showed that Keggin structures remained essentially intact on ZrO2, TiO2, and SiO2 after treatment in air at 553 K, but decomposed to MoOx and VOx oligomers on Al2O3. Accessible protons per Keggin unit (KU) were measured during CH3OH oxidation by titration with 2,6-di-tert-butyl pyridine. For similar KU surface densities (0.28–0.37 KU/nm2), the number of accessible protons was larger on SiO2 than on ZrO2 and TiO2 and much smaller on Al2O3 supports, even though residual dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis rates after titrant saturation indicated that the fractional dispersion of KU was similar on the first three supports. These effects of support on structure and on H+ accessibility reflect varying extents of interaction between polyoxometallate clusters and supports. Rates of CH3OH oxidative dehydrogenation per KU were higher on ZrO2 and TiO2 than on SiO2 at similar KU surface densities (0.28–0.37 KU/nm2) and dispersion, indicating that redox properties of Keggin clusters depend on the identity of the support used to disperse them. ZrO2 and TiO2 supports appear to enhance the reducibility of anchored polyoxometallate clusters. Rates were much lower on Al2O3, because structural degradation led to less reactive MoOx and VOx domains. CH3OH reactions involve primary oxidation to form HCHO and subsequent secondary reactions to form DMM and MF. These reactions involve HCHO–CH3OH acetalization steps leading to methoxymethanol (CH3OCH2OH) or hemiacetal intermediates, which condense with CH3OH on acid sites to form DMM or dehydrogenate to form MF. COx formation rates are much lower than those of other reactions, and DME forms in parallel pathways catalyzed by acid sites. Secondary reactions leading to DMM and MF are strongly influenced by the chemical properties of support surfaces. Acidic SiO2 surfaces favored DMM formation, while amphoteric or dehydrogenating surfaces on ZrO2 and TiO2 led to MF formation, as a result of the varying role of each support in directing the reactions of HCHO and CH3OH and of the CH3OCH2OH intermediates toward DMM or MF, which was confirmed using physical catalyst–pure support mixtures. These support effects reflect the bifunctional pathways of CH3OH reactions. These pathways are consistent with the effects of residence time and of the partial removal of H+ sites by titration using 2,6-di-tert-butyl pyridine.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/04//4/1/2004 VL - 120 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 6064 EP - 6071 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The photoelectron spectrum of the uracil–alanine anionic complex (UA)[sup -] has been recorded with 2.540 eV photons. This spectrum reveals a broad feature with a maximum between 1.6 and 2.1 eV. The vertical electron detachment energy is too large to be attributed to an (UA)[sup -] anionic complex in which an intact uracil anion is solvated by alanine, or vice versa. The neutral and anionic complexes of uracil and alanine were studied at the B3LYP and second-order Møller–Plesset level of theory with 6-31++G** basis sets. The neutral complexes form cyclic hydrogen bonds and the three most stable neutral complexes are bound by 0.72, 0.61, and 0.57 eV. The electron hole in complexes of uracil with alanine is localized on uracil, but the formation of a complex with alanine strongly modulates the vertical ionization energy of uracil. The theoretical results indicate that the excess electron in (UA)[sup -] occupies a π* orbital localized on uracil. The excess electron attachment to the complex can induce a barrier-free proton transfer (BFPT) from the carboxylic group of alanine to the O8 atom of uracil. As a result, the four most stable structures of the uracil–alanine anionic complex can be characterized as a neutral radical of hydrogenated uracil solvated by a deprotonated alanine. Our current results for the anionic complex of uracil with alanine are similar to our previous results for the anion of uracil with glycine [Eur. Phys. J. D 20, 431 (2002)], and together they indicate that the BFPT process is not very sensitive to the nature of the amino acid’s hydrophobic residual group. The BFPT to the O8 atom of uracil may be relevant to the damage suffered by nucleic acid bases due to exposure to low energy electrons. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

SN - 0920654X AB - We describe ProteinShop, a new visualization tool that streamlines and simplifies the process of determining optimal protein folds. ProteinShop may be used at different stages of a protein structure prediction process. First, it can create protein configurations containing secondary structures specified by the user. Second, it can interactively manipulate protein fragments to achieve desired folds by adjusting the dihedral angles of selected coil regions using an Inverse Kinematics method. Last, it serves as a visual framework to monitor and steer a protein structure prediction process that may be running on a remote machine. ProteinShop was used to create initial configurations for a protein structure prediction method developed by a team that competed in CASP5. ProteinShop's use accelerated the process of generating initial configurations, reducing the time required from days to hours. This paper describes the structure of ProteinShop and discusses its main features.

As a demonstration, it is applied to the electronic structure of δ-Pu. The model reproduces the electronic-structure related properties of this complex metal; in particular, the theory is capable of reproducing the valence band photoemission spectrum of δ-Pu. We also report new experimental photoemission spectra at several photon energies. Taken together, our results provide strong evidence that the electronic structure of δ-Pu involves a 5f shell with four electrons in a localized multiplet hybridizing with valence states, and approximately one 5f electron forming a completely delocalized band state.

Global chemical kinetic thermal decomposition models for HMX and TATB developed to predict thermal explosion experiments lasting seconds to days are applied to these laser ignition experimental data. Excellent agreement was obtained for TATB, while the calculated ignition times were longer than experiment for HMX at lower laser fluxes. Inclusion of HMX melting and faster reaction for liquid HMX in the HMX decomposition model improved the agreement with experiment at lower laser energies.

Radio frequency electric fields processing has recently been shown to inactivate yeast in water at near-ambient temperatures. The objective of this study was to extend the radio frequency electric fields (RFEF) technique to inactivate bacteria in apple juice. A converged-field treatment chamber was developed that enabled high-intensity RFEF to be applied to apple juice using a 4-kW power supply. Finite element analyses indicated that uniform fields were generated in the treatment chamber. Escherichia coli K12 in apple juice was exposed for 0.17 ms to electric field strengths of up to 26 kV/cm peak over a frequency range of 15 to 70 kHz. The population of E. coli was reduced by 1.8 log following exposure to an 18 kV/cm field at an outlet temperature of 50°C. Raising the temperature increased inactivation. Intensifying the electric field up to 16 kV/cm increased inactivation; however, above this intensity, inactivation remained constant. Radio frequencies of 15 and 20 kHz inactivated E. coli better than frequencies of 30 to 70 kHz. Inactivation was independent of the initial microbial concentration between 4.3 and 6.2 log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Applying 3 treatment stages at 50°C increased inactivation to 3 log. The electric energy for the RFEF process was 300 J/mL. The results of the present study provide the 1st evidence that RFEF processing inactivates bacteria in fruit juice at moderately low temperatures.

The present model is an extension of a previously developed sessile drop model, based on bubble nucleation, growth, and merging criteria, as well as surface cavity size characterization [3]. The basic concept of the model is that for liquid/solid interface temperatures at and above the LFP, a sufficient number of cavities are activated and the bubble growth rates are sufficiently fast that a continuous vapor layer is established nearly instantaneously between the liquid and the solid. For impinging droplets, the influence of the rise in interfacial pressure created by the impact of the droplet with the surface, must be accounted for in determining fluid properties at the liquid-solid interface. The effect of droplet impact velocity on the LFP predicted by the model is verified for single impinging droplets, streams of droplets, as well as sprays. While the model was developed for smooth surfaces on which the roughness asperities are of the same magnitude as the cavity radii (0.1-1.0 m), it is capable of predicting the boundary or limiting Leidenfrost temperature for rougher surfaces with good accuracy.

JO - Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems JF - Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 290 EP - 299 SN - 10577157 AB - An accurate, rapid, and quantitative method for analyzing variety of biomolecules, such as DNA and proteins, is necessary in many biomedical applications and could help address several scientific issues in molecular biology. Recent experiments have shown that when specific biological reactions occur on one surface of a microcantilever beam, the resulting changes in surface stress deflect the cantilever beam. To exploit this phenomenon for high-throughput label-free biomolecular analysis, we have developed a chip containing a two-dimensional (2-D) array of silicon nitride cantilevers with a thin gold coating on one surface. Integration of microfluid cells on the chip allows for individual functionalization of each cantilever of the array, which is designed to respond specifically to a target analyte. An optical system to readout deflections of multiple cantilevers was also developed. The cantilevers exhibited thermomechanical sensitivity with a standard deviation of seven percent, and were found to fall into two categories—those whose deflections tracked each other in response to external stimuli, and those whose did not due to drift. The best performance of two "tracking" cantilevers showed a maximum difference of 4 nm in their deflections. Although "nontracking" cantilevers exhibited large differences in their drift behavior, an upper bound of their time-dependent drift was determined, which could allow for rapid bioassays. Using the differential deflection signal between tracking cantilevers, immobilization of 25mer thiolated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on gold surfaces produced repeatable deflections of 80 nm or so on 0.5-µm-thick and 200-µm-long cantilevers.

The model is used to simulate chemical reactions between two initially distinct sample zones, referred to as "bands," that cross each other due to differences in electromigration velocities. The reaction is described in terms of a single step, reversible mechanism involving two reactants and one product. A parametric study is first conducted of the behavior of the species profiles, and results are interpreted in terms of the Damköhler number and of the ratios of the electromigration velocities of the reactant and product. Computed results are then used to explore the possibility of extracting forward and backward reaction rates based on time resolved observation of integral moments of species concentrations. In particular, it is shown that in the case of fast reactions, robust estimates can be obtained for high forward rates, but that small reverse rates may not be accurately observed.

Based on these fluxes, the diffusion coefficients, and the sums of heat of transport and enthalpy of solution for the γ, γ+ζ and δ+ζ phases in U–Pu–Zr were obtained. Using these data, the predicted concentration redistribution profiles are consistent with the measurements. The effect of minor actinide (Am and Np) addition was also examined. Am migration generally followed that of Zr with local precipitation, while Np behaved similarly to Pu.

The purpose of this work was to determine the effect of natural aging on tensile properties of the WQ U–6%Nb alloy. The materials studied were hemispherical shells after 15 and 20 years in storage. The alloy was successfully tested in the original curved configuration, using the specially designed tensile test apparatus. Finite element analysis confirmed the validity of the test method. The results of the tensile tests clearly indicated that in the WQ condition, the material is changing and after 15 and 20 years, the yield strength exceeds the original maximum allowable specification. The fracture mode transitions from highly ductile, microvoid coalescence in new material to a mixed mode of shallow dimples and inclusion-induced voids in the naturally aged material.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 108 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 4127 EP - 4133 SN - 15206106 AB - Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics in acid solutions was studied by analysis of the polarization curves obtained by rotating disk electrode method for Pt(111) in HClO4 and H2SO4 solutions. The model for ORR kinetic currents assumes that the intrinsic exchange current and Tafel slope are independent of anion adsorption. The site blocking and electronic effects of adsorbed OH (in HClO4) and bisulfate (in H2SO4) were evaluated with the adsorption isotherms incorporated in the model. The best fits yielded the intrinsic Tafel slope in the range from -118 to -130 mV/dec, supporting single electron transfer in the rate-determining step with the corresponding transfer coefficients equal to 0.50 and 0.45, respectively. In addition to site blocking, a negative electronic effect on ORR kinetics was found for both OH and bisulfate with the effect of the latter being much stronger. The deviation of the apparent Tafel slope in HClO4 from its intrinsic value can be fully accounted for by the site blocking and electronic effects of adsorbed OH ions, which vary with coverage over the mixed kinetic-diffusion controlled region. For Pt nanoparticle catalysts, the apparent Tafel slope is similar to that for Pt(111) in HClO4 and the positive potential shift is mainly due to the increase in apparent exchange current as effective surface area increases.

It is shown that the change of the axial parameters under compression is related to the different pressure dependences of the W–O (Li–F) and Ca–O (Y–F) interatomic bonds. Phase transition mechanisms for both compounds are proposed. Furthermore, a systematic study of the phase transition in 16 different scheelite ABX4 compounds indicates that the transition pressure increases as the packing ratio of the anionic BX4 units around the A cations increases.

MgBxPd3, MgBxPt3, CaBxPd3, MgCxRh3, LuCxRh3, and ZrCxRh3 represent new intermetallic perovskites that form at a composition that is nominally stoichiometric (x=1). ScBxPd3, YBxPd3, and NbBxRh3 are new single-phase perovskites that form only at a substoichiometric (x<1) nominal composition. The variable boron content of ABxPd3 (A=Mg, Ca, Sc, Y) was studied using lattice parameter data from X-ray diffraction measurements. For A=Ca and Mg, the unit cell volume increases with increasing boron content for 0.25⩽x⩽1.0, while boron uptake is limited to 0⩽x⩽0.5 for A=Sc and Y. Neutron diffraction studies indicate that CaBxPd3 is not actually stoichiometric at a nominal composition of x=1. Rather, saturation of the boron content occurs at CaB0.76Pd3. Evidence for superconductivity was found in samples of CaBxPd3 (x⩾1) and NbBxRh3, but bulk analysis suggests that superconductivity may be attributed to minority phases.

The neutral layers in compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural with NpO2(IO3)2·H2O and PuO2(IO3)2·H2O, respectively. The Np and Pu centers are found in distorted pentagonal bipyramidal [AnO7] environments that are formed from the ligation of NpO22+ or PuO22+ cations by iodate anions. There are two crystallographically unique pyramidal iodate anions in 1 and 2. One of these anions utilizes all three oxygen atoms to simultaneously bridge three neptunyl or plutonyl units. The second anion only bridges two actinyl units and has a terminal oxo atom. The bridging of the actinyl cations by iodate anions creates neutral ∞2[AnO2(IO3)3] (An=Np, Pu) sheets that are separated by K+ cations, Cl− anions, and water molecules.

Using special synthesis techniques, we have extended the solubility limit of Ga3+ in the cubic perovskite phase to x≈0.33. Higher Ga concentrations lead to mixed phases until a single-phase ordered double-perovskite structure is obtained at x=0.5, i.e., Sr2MnGaO6−δ. In the cubic perovskite phase the maximum oxygen content is 3−x/2, which corresponds to 100% Mn4+. All maximally oxygenated solid solution compounds are found to order antiferromagnetically, with the transition temperature linearly decreasing as Ga content increases. Reducing the oxygen content introduces frustration into the magnetic system and a spin-glass state is observed for SrMn0.7Ga0.3O2.5 below 30 K. The brownmillerite phase at low oxygen content, Sr2MnGaO5, is found to have Icmm crystallographic symmetry. At 12 K its magnetic structure is found to order in the Icm′m′ magnetic symmetry corresponding to a G-type antiferromagnetic structure of Mn3+ ions. At higher oxygen content, Sr2MnGaO5.5 is found to have Cmmm crystallographic symmetry with disordered oxygen vacancies. At 12 K two competing long-range magnetic structures are found for the Mn4+ sublattice having CIm′m′m symmetry (G-type), and CPm′m′m symmetry (C-type), together with a G-type short-range magnetic correlations.

SN - 00224715 AB - The study of low density, ultracold atomic Fermi gases is a promising avenue to understand fermion superfluidity from first principles. One technique currently used to bring Fermi gases in the degenerate regime is sympathetic cooling through a reservoir made of an ultracold Bose gas. We discuss a proposal for trapping and cooling of two-species Fermi–Bose mixtures into optical dipole traps made from combinations of laser beams having two different wavelengths. In these bichromatic traps it is possible, by a proper choice of the relative laser powers, to selectively trap the two species in such a way that fermions experience a stronger confinement than bosons. As a consequence, a deep Fermi degeneracy can be reached having at the same time a softer degenerate regime for the Bose gas. This leads to an increase in the sympathetic cooling efficiency and allows for higher precision thermometry of the Fermi–Bose mixture.

Although perceived by many in signal processing as simply an application of matched-filter theory, a T/R receiver offers an interesting solution to the communications problem for a reverberant channel. In this paper, the performance of various realizations of the T/R receiver for an acoustic communications experiment in air is described along with its associated processing. The experiment is developed to evaluate the performance of point-to-point T/R receivers designed to extract a transmitted information sequence propagating in a highly reverberant environment. It is demonstrated that T/R receivers are capable of extracting the transmitted coded sequence from noisy microphone sensor measurements with zero-symbol error. The processing required to validate these experimental results is discussed. These results are also compared with those produced by an equivalent linear equalizer or inverse filter, which provides the optimal solution when it incorporates all of the reverberations.

Carbon- and/or Si-rich environments suppress grain growth. In the case of the tape casting, the C-residue from binder burnout results in small core grains relative to the surface grains that can grow significantly. When sintering in high Si activities, titanium silicide phases form at the grain boundaries that slow grain growth. Annealing the latter in Ar at 1600°C, for extended periods (30 h), rids the samples of these grain-boundary phases, which in turn results in grain growth. The advantage of the latter process is that the final grain size distribution is more uniform from surface to bulk.

The observed correlation suggests that the difference between the energy of a high-angle grain boundary and the two component surfaces is relatively constant as a function of misorientation. Two exceptions to this correlation were identified: low-misorientation-angle boundaries and the coherent twin boundary, where the (111) planes in the adjoining crystals are parallel to each other, but rotated by 60° around the [111] axis. In these cases, the high degree of coincidence across this interface probably lowers the boundary energy with respect to that of the component surfaces. For all other boundaries, the anisotropy of the population is accurately predicted by the surface energy anisotropy, and in general, boundaries display a preference for {100} orientations, the planes of minimum surface energy.

The effects of bombardment from accelerated argon and oxygen ions on the properties of SBTN thin films were investigated. It was found that the argon ion bombardment could decrease the crystallization temperature owing to the increase of internal energy of the films. Also, the oxygen vacancies at the interface between the SBTN film and platinum bottom electrode or at grain boundaries in the film were passivated through the oxygen ion treatment, resulting in the improved electrical properties. By optimizing the process parameters and using bombardment of accelerated argon and oxygen ions, SBTN films with good ferroelectric and electrical properties could be obtained, at a temperature as low as 650°C.

The results show that the projection of the evolved SV onto the forecast error increases during the evolution. Based on the similarities of the evolved SV to the forecast error, use of the evolved SV is suggested as an adaptive observation strategy. The use of the evolved SV strategy for adaptive observations is evaluated by performing observation system simulation experiments using a three-dimensional variational data assimilation scheme under the perfect model assumption. Adaptive strategies using the actual forecast error, gradient sensitivity, and initial SV are also tested. The observation system simulation experiments are implemented for five simulated synoptic cases with two different observation spacings and three different configurations of adaptive observation location densities (sparse, dense, and mixed), and the impact of the adaptive strategies is compared with that of the nonadaptive, fixed observations. The impact of adaptive strategies varies with the observation density. For a small number of observations, several of the adaptive strategies tested reduce forecast error more than the nonadaptive strategy. For a large number of observations, it is more difficult to reduce forecast errors using adaptive observations. The evolved SV strategy performs as well as or better than the adjoint-based strategies for both observation densities. The impact of using the evolved SVs rather than the adjoint-based sensitivities for adaptive observation purposes is larger in the situation of a large number of observation stations for which the forecast error reduction by adjoint- based adaptive strategies is difficult.

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 47 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 284 EP - 292 SN - 00953628 AB - A down-well aquifer microbial sampling system was developed using glass wool or Bio-Sep beads as a solid-phase support matrix. Here we describe the use of these devices to monitor the groundwater microbial community dynamics during field bioremediation experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy Natural and Accelerated Bioremediation Research Program's Field Research Center at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During the 6-week deployment, microbial biofilms colonized glass wool and bead internal surfaces. Changes in viable biomass, community composition, metabolic status, and respiratory state were reflected in sampler composition, type of donor, and groundwater pH. Biofilms that formed on Bio-Sep beads had 2-13 times greater viable biomass; however, the bead communities were less metabolically active [higher cyclopropane/monoenoic phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) ratios] and had a lower aerobic respiratory state (lower total respiratory quinone/ PLFA ratio and ubiquinone/menaquinone ratio) than the biofilms formed on glass wool. Anaerobic growth in these systems was characterized by plasmalogen phospholipids and was greater in the wells that received electron donor additions. Partial 16S rDNA sequences indicated that Geobacter and nitrate-reducing organisms were induced by the acetate, ethanol, or glucose additions. DNA and lipid biomarkers were extracted and recovered without the complications that commonly plague sediment samples due to the presence of clay or dissolved organic matter. Although microbial community composition in the groundwater or adjacent sediments may differ from those formed on down-well biofilm samplers, the metabolic activity responses of the biofilms to modifications in groundwater geochemistry record the responses of the microbial community to biostimulation while providing integrative sampling and ease of recovery for biomarker analysis.

The benefits are especially pronounced for low voltage (≤5 kV) X-ray microanalysis in the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) where the high energy resolution of the µ-cal EDS minimizes the peak overlaps among the myriad of K, L, M and N lines in the 0–5 keV energy range. The availability of L- and M-shell X-ray lines for microanalysis somewhat offsets the absence of X-ray lines traditionally used above 5 keV energy. The benefits and challenges of the µ-cal EDS will be discussed, including P/B ratio for characteristic X-rays, collection angle, count rate capability and the impact of polycapillary X-ray optics on microanalysis.

The total dose response of SOI devices is more complex than for bulk-silicon devices due to the buried oxide. Radiation-induced trapped charge in the buried oxide can increase the leakage current of partially-depleted transistors and decrease the threshold voltage and increase the leakage current of fully-depleted transistors. We review process and design techniques that have been developed to reduce the net amount of radiation-induced positive charge trapped in the buried oxide or to mitigate the effects of trapped charge in the buried oxide, respectively. We also compare the total dose response of devices operated in single-gate (SG) and double-gate (DG) mode as a function of silicon film thickness. DG-MOSFETs are systematically less sensitive to radiation-induced trapped charge and interface trap.

These can be used as an effective method for total-dose hardening buried oxides in SOI devices. In this work, we show that implanting buried oxides can also create thermally activated metastable electron traps near the top Si/SiO2 border. These metastable electron traps can produce significant bias instabilities in the back-gate transistor characteristics and lead to threshold voltage instabilities in fully-depleted devices.

The total dose radiation responses of several near and long term alternative gate dielectrics to SiO2 are discussed. Radiation results are presented for nitrided oxides, which show no change in interface trap density with dose and oxide trapped charge densities comparable to ultra thin thermal oxides. For aluminum oxide and hafnium oxide gate dielectric stacks, the density of oxide trapped charge is shown to depend strongly on the film thickness and processing conditions. The alternative gate dielectrics discussed here are shown to have effective trapping efficiencies that are up to ∼15 to 20 times larger than thermal SiO2 of equivalent electrical thickness. A discussion of single event effects in devices and ICs is also provided. It is shown that some alternative gate dielectrics exhibit excellent tolerance to heavy ion induced gate dielectric breakdown. However, it is not yet known how irradiation with energetic particles will affect the long term reliability of MOS devices with high-κ gate dielectrics in a space environment.

These methods are marginally effective and are not well suited for implantation due to the inability to miniaturize the associated technologies. Consequently, no standardized techniques exist for real-time, continuous monitoring of organ perfusion following transplantation. In this paper, a brief overview of the relevant clinical techniques employed for regional tissue perfusion assessment is given with particular emphasis on post-surgical monitoring of transplanted organs. The ideal characteristics for a perfusion monitoring system are discussed and the development of a new, completely implanted local tissue monitoring system is summarized. In vivo and in vitro data are presented that establish the efficacy of this new technology, which is a photonics-based sensor system uniquely suited for continuous tissue monitoring and real-time data reporting. The suitablity of this sensor technology for miniaturization, which enables implantation for monitoring localized tissue perfusion, is discussed.

Model fits require only a power law with Galactic absorption in each case; additional intrinsic absorption is also needed for [HB89] 0438−436 and RX J122135.6+280613. The spectra are hard ( for [HB89] 0438−436, [HB89] 2000−330 and ∼1.4 for RX J122135.6+280613), with the exception of [SP89] 1107+487, which is softer ; the combined Galactic and intrinsic absorption of lower-energy X-rays in the last of the sources is much less significant than in the other three. The two intrinsically unabsorbed sources have greater optical fluxes relative to the X-ray contributions at the observed energies. While there is no need to include reflection or iron line components in the models, our derived upper limits (99 per cent confidence) on these parameters are not stringent; the absence of these features, if confirmed, may be explained in terms of the high power-law contribution and/or a potentially lower albedo as a result of the low disc temperature. However, we note that the power-law spectrum can be produced via mechanisms other than the Comptonization of accretion disc emission by a corona; given that all four of these quasars are radio sources at some level, we should also consider the possibility that the X-ray emission originates, at least partially, in a jet.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 4 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 551 EP - 554 SN - 15306984 AB - Photoresponsive nanoporous membranes, composed of monosized pores modified with azobenzene ligands, were prepared on an ITO working electrode using an evaporation-induced self-assembly procedure. They exhibited the size-selective photoregulated mass transport of two ferrocene-based molecular probes through the membrane to the electrode surface as determined using a chronoamperometry technique. The measured oxidative current increased and decreased in response to alternating UV and visible light exposure correlating strongly with the photoisomerization state of the azobenzene ligands. This indicates that the optically switchable conformation (trans or cis) of azobenzene ligands controls the effective pore size and, correspondingly, transport behavior on the nanoscale.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 4 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 597 EP - 602 SN - 15306984 AB - We present a two-step synthesis route that yields nanometer-size crystalline germanium in the form of a black powder. It relies on high temperature decomposition of tetraethylgermane (TEG) in organic solvents. The presence of pure germanium with diamond structure is unambiguously attested by powder XRD measurements. Low-resolution TEM indicates that the particles are between ~5 to 30 nm in size, depending on the synthesis conditions. The as-synthesized Ge powders can be stored in air for months and no oxidation occurs. The Ge powders are sparingly soluble in conventional solvents because Ge nanocrystals are likely embedded in a matrix composed mainly of C=C, C-C, and C-H bonds. The presence of residual organic byproducts impedes probing of the optical properties of the dots. Also, we discuss drawbacks and open challenges in high-temperature solution synthesis of Ge nanocrystals that could also be faced in the synthesis of Si nanocrystals. Overall, our results call for a cautious interpretation of reported optical properties of Ge and Si nanocrystals obtained by high-temperature solution methods.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 4 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 619 EP - 621 SN - 15306984 AB - Pressure-induced hydration (PIH) in the zeolite natrolite leads to well-ordered one-dimensional “water wires” and “water tubes”. These structures provide urgently needed points of reference for molecular dynamics simulations and serve as models of transient and disordered biological nanowater. We show here that applying simultaneous pressure and temperature using a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell permits the intermolecular manipulation of water wires due to changes in the geometry of the host scaffolding and the enclosed hydrogen bonded water. During this process the ordered water wires formed under pressure change their direction depending on the temperature. This provides the opportunity to study the dynamics of confined water at the nanoscale by temperature and/or pressure-jump experiments. Our studies indicate that confined water responds differently to pressure and temperature than does bulk water.

We apply a simple nonlinear dynamical model to a finite segment of the bacteriophage T7 core promoter DNA. The temperature dependence of the dynamic structure factor is investigated. A distinct feature is identified and attributed to coherent localized thermal openings (hot-spots) due to nonlinearity combined with sequence specificity. We present the variation of the position and the width of the corresponding dynamic structure factor feature with temperature. Finally, a strong deviation of the Debye-Waller factor from the usual harmonic form is evaluated.

The Raman spectroscopy shows that the as-grown BxCyNz nanotubes are radially phase separated into BN shells and carbon shells. The photoluminescence decay process is characterized by two time constants that are attributed to intra- and inter-BN sheet charge recombination, respectively. A comparison of the photoluminescence of BN nanotubes to that of hexagonal BN is consistent with the existence of a spatially indirect band gap in multiwalled BN nanotubes as predicted by theory.

The large clustered gene families, corresponding high G + C content, CpG islands and density of repetitive DNA indicate a chromosome rich in biological and evolutionary significance. Here we describe 55.8 million base pairs of highly accurate finished sequence representing 99.9% of the euchromatin portion of the chromosome. Manual curation of gene loci reveals 1,461 protein-coding genes and 321 pseudogenes. Among these are genes directly implicated in mendelian disorders, including familial hypercholesterolaemia and insulin-resistant diabetes. Nearly one-quarter of these genes belong to tandemly arranged families, encompassing more than 25% of the chromosome. Comparative analyses show a fascinating picture of conservation and divergence, revealing large blocks of gene orthology with rodents, scattered regions with more recent gene family expansions and deletions, and segments of coding and non-coding conservation with the distant fish species Takifugu.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/04//4/1/2004 VL - 428 IS - 6982 M3 - Article SP - 542 EP - 545 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - Diamond is an electrical insulator well known for its exceptional hardness. It also conducts heat even more effectively than copper, and can withstand very high electric fields. With these physical properties, diamond is attractive for electronic applications, particularly when charge carriers are introduced (by chemical doping) into the system. Boron has one less electron than carbon and, because of its small atomic radius, boron is relatively easily incorporated into diamond; as boron acts as a charge acceptor, the resulting diamond is effectively hole-doped. Here we report the discovery of superconductivity in boron-doped diamond synthesized at high pressure (nearly 100,000 atmospheres) and temperature (2,500-2,800?K). Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and field-dependent resistance measurements show that boron-doped diamond is a bulk, type-II superconductor below the superconducting transition temperature Tc ˜ 4?K; superconductivity survives in a magnetic field up to Hc2(0) = 3.5?T. The discovery of superconductivity in diamond-structured carbon suggests that Si and Ge, which also form in the diamond structure, may similarly exhibit superconductivity under the appropriate conditions.

JO - Nature Cell Biology JF - Nature Cell Biology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 6 IS - 4 M3 - Letter SP - 366 EP - 372 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 14657392 AB - Transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) induces both apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in some cell lines, but only growth arrest in others. It is not clear how this differential response to TGF-ß is specified. Smad proteins are critical mediators of TGF-ß signalling. After stimulation by TGF-ß, Smad2 and Smad3 become phosphorylated by the activated TGF-ß receptor kinases, oligomerize with Smad4, translocate to the nucleus and regulate the expression of TGF-ß target genes. Here we report that the sensitivity to TGF-ß-induced apoptosis is regulated by crosstalk between the Akt/PKB serine/threonine kinase and Smad3 through a mechanism that is independent of Akt kinase activity. Akt interacts directly with unphosphorylated Smad3 to sequester it outside the nucleus, preventing its phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. This results in inhibition of Smad3-mediated transcription and apoptosis. Furthermore, the ratio of Smad3 to Akt correlates with the sensitivity of cells to TGF-ß-induced apoptosis. Alteration of this ratio changes the apoptotic, but not the growth-inhibitory, responses of cells to TGF-ß. These findings identify an important determinant of sensitivity to TGF-ß-induced apoptosis that involves crosstalk between the TGF-ß and phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) pathways.

JO - Nature Genetics JF - Nature Genetics Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 36 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 343 EP - 350 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 10614036 AB - Modulation of tumor suppressor activities may provide new opportunities for cancer therapy. Here we show that disruption of the gene Ppm1d encoding Wip1 phosphatase activated the p53 and p16 (also called Ink4a)-p19 (also called ARF) pathways through p38 MAPK signaling and suppressed in vitro transformation of mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) by oncogenes. Disruption of the gene Cdkn2a (encoding p16 and p19), but not of Trp53 (encoding p53), reconstituted cell transformation in Ppm1d-null MEFs. In vivo, deletion of Ppm1d in mice bearing mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter-driven oncogenes Erbb2 (also called c-neu) or Hras1 impaired mammary carcinogenesis, whereas reduced expression of p16 and p19 by methylation-induced silencing or inactivation of p38 MAPK correlated with tumor appearance. We conclude that inactivation or depletion of the Wip1 phosphatase with resultant p38 MAPK activation suppresses tumor appearance by modulating the Cdkn2a tumor-suppressor locus.

We sought to replicate these observations and further identify peripheral vascular components of AD pathology.Methods: Methacholine chloride (MCh), acetylcholine chloride (ACh), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were applied iontophoretically to forearm skin. Laser Doppler imaging of treated areas yielded total perfusion response values.Results: Response to MCh was enhanced 78% (P=0.003) in AD subjects under therapy with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) donepezil (N=9), relative to age- and sex-matched controls (N=12). Significant increases in perfusion were also observed after application of ACh (68%, P=0.03) and SNP (46%, P=0.04).Conclusions: A previous study reported attenuated response to ACh in AD. Paradoxically, we observed a substantially enhanced response that is likely a consequence of donepezil therapy. The increased response to the endothelium-independent vasodilator SNP indicates improved general vasodilatory response, perhaps due to preservation of endogenous ACh by donepezil. Cerebral perfusion in response to functional activation may be improved in this way, suggesting a secondary therapeutic mode of donepezil.

T1 - Exposure to appetitive food stimuli markedly activates the human brain JO - NeuroImage JF - NeuroImage Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 21 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1790 SN - 10538119 AB - Objective: The increased incidence of obesity most likely reflects changes in the environment that had made food more available and palatable. Here we assess the response of the human brain to the presentation of appetitive food stimuli during food presentation using PET and FDG. Method: Metabolic changes in response to food presentation were done in 12 healthy normal body weight subjects who were food deprived before the study. Results: Food presentation significantly increased metabolism in the whole brain (24%, P < 0.01) and these changes were largest in superior temporal, anterior insula, and orbitofrontal cortices. The increases in the right orbitofrontal cortex were the ones that correlated significantly with the increases in self-reports of hunger and desire for food. Discussion: The marked increase in brain metabolism by the presentation of food provides evidence of the high sensitivity of the human brain to food stimuli. This high sensitivity coupled with the ubiquitousness of food stimuli in the environment is likely to contribute to the epidemic of obesity. In particular, the activation of the right orbitofrontal cortex, a brain region involved with drive, may underlie the motivation to procure food, which may be subjectively experienced as “desire for food” and “hunger” when exposed to food stimuli.

It has observed more than 250 γ-ray bursts (GRBs) so far. It is currently localizing 25–30 GRBs per year, and has localized 43 GRBs to date. Twenty-one of these localizations have led to the detection of X-ray, optical, or radio afterglows, and as of now, 11 of the bursts with afterglows have redshift determinations. HETE-2 has also observed more than 45 bursts from soft γ-ray repeaters, and more than 700 X-ray bursts.HETE-2 has confirmed the connection between GRBs and Type Ic supernovae, a singular achievement and certainly one of the scientific highlights of the mission so far. It has provided evidence that the isotropic-equivalent energies and luminosities of GRBs may be correlated with redshift; such a correlation would imply that GRBs and their progenitors evolve strongly with redshift. Both of these results have profound implications for the nature of GRB progenitors and for the use of GRBs as a probe of cosmology and the early universe.HETE-2 has placed severe constraints on any X-ray or optical afterglow of a short GRB. It has made it possible to explore the previously unknown behavior of optical afterglows at very early times, and has opened up the era of high-resolution spectroscopy of GRB optical afterglows. It is also solving the mystery of “optically dark” GRBs, and revealing the nature of X-ray flashes.

Based upon Phase 1 observations with EGRET, we predict the GLAST detection rate of blazar flares at different flux levels. With some uncertainty given the poor statistics of bright blazars, we predict that a blazar flare with integral flux ≳200×10−8 photons (>100 MeV) cm−2 s−1, which are the best candidates for Target of Opportunity pointings and extensive temporal and spectral studies, should occur every few days.

Instr. and Meth. A 492 (2002) 353). Upon commissioning in the MINOS detectors, the system was found to give a non-linear response to variations in the intensity of injected light. The source of this non-linearity has been traced to a small change in the spectrum of the injected light as a function of the current applied to the original blue LEDs, in combination with a rapidly varying spectral response function of the wavelength-shifting fibre used in the detector. Both aspects of the problem have been addressed successfully by use of LEDs with different spectral characteristics, and the system now has a linear response.

Novel design features provide the potential for neutron yields as high as 1014 n/s in a compact geometry. Such high neutron yields make the neutron generator applicable to the production of thermal or cold neutrons for neutron scattering experiments. This paper describes a scheme to simulate a neutron scattering setup and to estimate neutron flux and resolution with the particle transport code MCNP. For an estimated resolution of 1–4%, depending on the scattered angle and neutron energy, a thermal neutron flux at the sample position of 7×105 n/cm2 s has been estimated. Such a neutron generator is particularly suitable for cold neutron scattering experiments due to relatively longer flight times.

The elements of the polarized neutron beam, including a polarized 3He neutron spin filter and a radio frequency neutron spin rotator, are described. Using CsI(Tl) detectors and photodiode current mode readout, measurements were made of asymmetries in gamma-ray emission following neutron capture on 35Cl, 113Cd, and 139La targets. Upper limits on the parity-allowed asymmetry sn·(kγ×kn) were set at the level of 7×10−6 for all three targets. Parity-violating asymmetries sn·kγ were observed in 35Cl, Aγ=(−29.1±6.7)×10−6, and 139La, Aγ=(−15.5±7.1)×10−6, values consistent with previous measurements.

Monitoring stations separate xenon from air and perform isotopic analysis of the radioxenon. In one such radioxenon measurement scheme, the isotopes of interest are identified by coincident spectroscopy of electrons and photons in a β/γ coincidence spectrometer (BGCS). The β spectrometer is a plastic scintillator, manufactured as a cylindrical cell containing the separated xenon sample. This cell is surrounded by the NaI(Tl) γ spectrometer. We report here the development of a calibration process for the BGCS suitable for use in remote sampling systems. This procedure is based upon γ-ray Compton scattering, resulting in a true coincident signal in both detectors, generation of electrons over a wide energy range that matches the energy distribution of electrons from radioxenon decay, and a relative insensitivity to source location. In addition to gain calibration, this procedure determines the resolution of the β detector as a function of energy.

Irreversible binding was consistently higher for DEP in brain, heart, kidneys and spleen but not lung where CLG >DEP and not in thyroid where there is no DEP binding. The generally higher DEP binding is consistent with its higher enzyme affinity and larger free fraction in plasma while differences in regional distribution for CLG and DEP in brain, heart, thyroid and lungs are consistent with different relative ratios of MAO A and B in humans.

From transparency to high pt suppression JO - Nuclear Physics A JF - Nuclear Physics A Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 734 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 13 SN - 03759474 AB - Heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies (Au + Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV) exhibit significant new features as compared to earlier experiments at lower energies. The reaction is characterized by a high degree of transparency of the collision partners leading to the formation of a baryon-poor central region. In this zone, particle production occurs mainly from the stretching of the color field. The initial energy density is well above the one considered necessary for the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma, QGP. The production of charged particles of various masses is consistent with chemical and thermal equilibrium. Recently, a suppression of the high transverse momentum component of hadron spectra has been observed in central Au + Au collisions. This can be explained by the energy loss experienced by leading partons in a medium with a high density of unscreened color charges. In contrast, such high pt jets are not suppressed in d + Au collisions suggesting that the high pt suppression is not due to initial state effects in the ultrarelativistic colliding nuclei.

PHOBOS is a silicon-pad based detector with a 4π multiplicity detector and a high resolution mid-rapidity spectrometer, along with other detectors (time-of-flight walls, proton and zero degree calorimeters). PHOBOS is able to measure particles at low transverse momentum, spectra, flow, particle ratios, and multiplicity over a large region of phase space. A comparison of results for Au + Au and d + Au collisions at √SNN = 220 GeV will be discussed.

RIA is a next generation facility for basic research with radioactive beams that utilizes both standard Isotope-separator On-line (ISOL) and in-flight fragmentation methods with novel approaches to handle high primary-beam power and remove existing limitations in the extraction of short-lived isotopes. A versatile primary accelerator, a 1.4-GV, CW superconducting linac designed to simultaneously accelerate several heavy-ion charge states, will provide beams from protons at 900 MeV to uranium at 400 MeV/u at power levels of 400 kW. The wide variety of primary beams allows various production and extraction schemes to be used to optimize production of specific isotopes. These isotopes, at unprecedented intensities, are available for research at a broad range of energies. They can be delivered at ion source energy for stopped-beam studies, reaccelerated by a second superconducting linac, or directly separated in-flight for use at energies up to 500 MeV/u. The post accelerator uses a unique injection scheme, based on CW low-frequency RFQs, for efficient acceleration of singly charged heavy ions with masses up to 240 amu from ion source energy.

Hydrogen, on the other hand, is an important impurity in III–V semiconductors. Using first-principles band structure calculations we find that N can also qualitatively alter the electronic behavior of hydrogen in III–V semiconductors. We show that in GaAsN and GaPN a H atom bonds preferentially to the more electronegative N and can act as a donor in its own right. At high Fermi energy and H concentration, the H2* complex associated with N is stabilized. The formation of the H2* removes the effect of N on the band gap, restoring the gap of GaAs. For GaPN, the calculated local vibrational frequencies and isotope shifts of H2* are in good agreement with experiments.

The continuity of the layered structure was maintained and layer thickness unchanged in the annealed films. The nanolayers were observed to be offset by shear at the triple-point junctions that had equilibrium groove angles and were aligned in a zigzag pattern. A mechanism is proposed for the evolution of this 'anchored' structure that may be resistant to further morphological instability.

From the thermodynamic properties, it is confirmed that the system is a spin glass exhibiting the characteristic spin-freezing transition of such systems. There is no evidence for two distinct freezing transitions previously observed for polygrain samples. The bulk magnetic properties and the effect of crystalline electric fields on the spin-freezing temperature are found to be very similar to those of the face-centred icosahedral quasicrystal R-Mg-Zn.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/04//4/1/2004 VL - 84 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1039 EP - 1056 SN - 14786435 AB - In this paper, we demonstrate the power of electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a transmission electron microscope by investigating the electron structure of two f-electron metals: Ce and Pu. It is shown that EELS in a transmission electron microscope may be used to circumvent the difficulty of producing single-phase or single-crystal samples owing to its high spatial resolution, and that diffraction patterns and images can be acquired, providing unambiguous phase determination when acquiring spectra. EELS results are supported by synchrotron-radiation-based X-ray absorption, multielectron atomic spectral simulations, and local density approximation calculations based on density-functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. For Ce, it is shown that changes in {111} stacking sequences can drive substantial modifications in the electronic structure of close-packed phases of Ce that have similar atomic volumes, contrary to previous assumptions in literature. For Pu, it is shown that Russell-Saunders ( L - S ) coupling fails for the 5f states and that either a j - j or an intermediate scheme must be used for the actinides because of the considerable spin-orbit interaction in the 5f states. We present a model showing how the 5f states behave along the light actinide series.

Interactions of these defects between themselves and with existing microstructure features cause microstructure evolution and lead to changes in mechanical and physical properties of the irradiated materials. Models for prediction of radiation-induced changes should include details of reactions involving defects, and so in this paper we present the results of atomic-scale computer modelling of interactions between a cluster of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and a single vacancy in models of bcc, fcc and hcp metals. The vacancy is taken to lie on or within the glide prism of the cluster. This type of reaction is considered to be one of the most frequent because formation of SIA clusters, particularly glissile clusters, is commonly observed in high-energy displacement cascades in all metals. The interaction depends strongly on the dislocation nature of the cluster and therefore these interactions are different in the three crystal structures. Vacancy-SIA recombination, in particular, is inhibited by dissociation of the SIA loop on its glide prism.

Yet, if we concentrate our attention on the specific episodes marked by a crash followed by a rebound, then we observe that stock prices have a strong connection with interest rates on one hand, and with bond yield spreads on the other hand. That second relationship is particularly stable in the course of time having been observed for over 140 years. Throughout the paper we use a quasi-experimental approach. By observing how markets respond to well-defined exogenous shocks (such as the shock of 11 September 2001) we are able to determine how investors organize their “flight to safety”: which safe haven they select, how long their collective panic lasts, and so on. As rebounds come to an end the correlation of stock and bond prices fades away, a clear sign that the collective behavior of investors loses some of its coherence; this observation can be used as an objective criterion for assessing the end of a market rebound. Based on the behavior of investors, we introduce a distinction between “genuine stock market rallies”, as opposed to spurious rallies such as those brought about by the buyback programs implemented by large companies. The paper ends with a discussion of testable predictions.

The X-ray diffraction of the sample annealed at elevated temperatures indicates that intergrowths may exist in the compound at equilibrium when 0.6. Its low-temperature equilibrium diamagnetization Ms varies linearly with y, but is insensitive to the intergrowth, indicative of quasi-2D superconductivity. The Tc-onset, especially, shifts only slightly with y. Our data from cold compressed samples, on the other hand, show that the water loss non-proportionally suppresses the diamagnetization, which is suggestive of weak links.

These materials are important as substrates for “RABiTS”-type coated conductors that incorporate high temperature superconductors for current transport. The quasi-static dc and ac hysteretic loss W was determined to support estimates of the ferromagnetic contribution to the overall ac loss in potential ac applications. The alloys were prepared by either vacuum casting or powder metallurgy methods, and the hysteretic loss tended to be lower in materials that were recrystallized at higher temperatures. Some samples were progressively deformed (0.4% bending strain) to simulate winding operations; this increased the hysteretic loss, as did sample cutting operations that create localized damage. In ac magnetization measurements, the effects of ac frequency and dc bias field on the ferromagnetic loss were determined.

We have grown biaxially textured magnesium oxide (MgO) films on metallic substrates by ISD at deposition rates, 20–100 A˚/s. Scanning electron microscopy of the ISD MgO films showed columnar grain structures with a roof-tile-shaped surface. X-ray diffraction and pole figure analysis revealed that the c-axis of the ISD MgO is tilted at an angle with respect to the substrate normal. A full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ≈10° was observed in the φ-scan for MgO films. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and ceria (CeO2) buffer layers were epitaxially grown on ISD MgO by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) prior to YBCO deposition by PLD. The YBCO films grown on YSZ/CeO2 buffered ISD MgO substrates were biaxially aligned with the YBCO c-axis normal to the substrate surface. A critical current density of Jc>1.2×106 A/cm2 was measured at 77 K in self-field.

T1 - Collective transport in bilayer quantum Hall systems JO - Physica E JF - Physica E Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 22 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 19 SN - 13869477 AB - Filling factor ν=1 incompressible states in ideal bilayer quantum Hall systems have spontaneous interlayer phase coherence and can be regarded either as easy-plane pseudospin ferromagnets or as condensates of excitons formed from electrons in one layer and holes in the other layer. In this paper we discuss efforts to achieve an understanding of the two different types of transport measurements (which we refer to as drag and tunneling experiments, respectively) that have been carried out in bilayer quantum Hall systems by the group of Jim Eisenstein at the California Institute of Technology. In a drag experiment, current is sent through one of the two-layers and the voltage drop is measured in the other layer. We will argue that the finding of these experiments that the voltage drop in the drag layer is different from that in the drive layer, is an experimental proof that these bilayers do not have quasi-long-range excitonic order. The property that at ν=1 the longitudinal drag voltage increases from near zero when spontaneous coherence is initially established, then falls back toward zero as it becomes well established, can be explained as a competition between the broken symmetry and the gap to which it gives rise. In the tunneling experiment, current is injected in one layer and removed from the other layer. The absence of quasi-long-range order likely explains the relatively small tunneling conductance per area found in the these measurements.

A giant and nonlinear Zeeman splitting in these materials offers a unique opportunity to examine QHF since crossing of Landau levels (LL) can be achieved in perpendicular magnetic fields. We carried out magnetoresistance studies on modulation-doped, gated heterostructures of Cd1−xMnxTe/Cd1−yMgyTe:I. We put into evidence the formation of Ising quantum Hall ferromagnet with Curie temperature TC as high as 2 K. QHF in our device is manifested by anomalous magnetoresistance maxima, their hysteretic behavior, and time-dependent resistance, similar to earlier observations in III–V heterostructures. However, in our system these phenomena are much stronger, especially when either 2− or 1−, and 0+ LL are brought into coincidence. The magnitude of the QHF spikes depends dramatically on the history of the sample, shows hysteresis when either magnetic field or gate voltage are swept, stretched-exponential time evolution characteristic of glassy systems, and strong Barkhausen noise. Our study suggests that these metastabilities stem from the slow dynamics of ferromagnetic domains.

It is shown that the Fermi edge may either shift up (blue) or down (red) in an in-plane magnetic field. The shift depends on the relative strength of two components: (i) the diamagnetic shift of subband edge and (ii) an increase of the 2D density of states which lowers the Fermi energy with respect to the subband edge.

A new σ−-polarized emission peak emerged on the higher energy side of a main peak in the σ− polarization around the Landau filling factor ν of 1. Magnetic field dependence of the main peak energy exhibited a novel two-step like behavior around ν of 0.9 and that of the peak intensity was observed to take local maximum there. With increasing the field angle, these features of the main peak disappeared. Temperature dependence of the profiles of these emission peaks was also investigated to 40 T between 1.3 and 20 K. Relative intensity of the new emission peak to the main one was found to decrease with increasing temperature. Taking into consideration that a larger Zeeman gap should be unfavorable to a spin-singlet charged exciton (X−) and degradation of quantum limit by thermal excitation could be unfavorable to a spin-triplet X−, the new peak is assigned to the spin-triplet X− and the main peak to the spin-singlet X−.

The set-up consists of 44 cubic crystals of natural TeO2, 5 cm on the side and 18 crystals of 3×3×6 cm3. Four of these latter crystals are made with isotopically enriched materials: two in 128Te and two others in 130Te. With a sensitive mass of ∼40 kg, our array is by far the most massive running cryogenic detector to search for rare events. The array is operated at a temperature of ∼10 mK in a dilution refrigerator under a heavy shield in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory at a depth of about 3500 m.w.e. The counting rate in the region of neutrinoless double beta decay is ∼0.2 counts keV−1 kg−1 y−1, among the lowest in this type of experiment. No evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay is found with the present statistics obtained in about three months with a live time of 72%. The corresponding lower limit for the lifetime of this process is of 5.5×1023 years at 90% C.L. The corresponding limit for the effective neutrino mass ranges between 0.37 to 1.9 eV depending on the theoretically calculated nuclear matrix elements used. This constraint is the most restrictive one except those obtained with Ge diodes, and is comparable to them.

These may be formally regarded as either large eddy simulation or Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes models of turbulence. All of the turbulence closure models in the class under investigation preserve the existence of elliptic instability, although they shift its angle of critical stability as a function of the rotation rate Ω of the coordinate system, the wave number β of the Kelvin wave, and the model parameter α, the turbulence correlation length. Elliptic instability allows a comparison among the properties of these models. It is emphasized that the physical mechanism for this instability is not wave–wave interaction, but rather wave, mean-flow interaction as governed by the choice of a model’s nonlinearity.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Computed species distributions in a planar cross section of the jet are compared to planar laser-induced fluorescence images produced by the experiment. Given the qualitative nature of the published experimental images, the agreement with spatial flow features is quite good. We find that differential diffusion of species is an important feature of this experiment, leading to a significant decoupling of the helium and the biacetyl tracer. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The resulting Euler-Lagrange equations are solved analytically and numerically. The self-consistent solutions of whole Euler-Lagrange equations as well as both helicity and energy balance equations are obtained numerically for the given parameters and boundary conditions. It is found that for low and general aspect ratio tokamaks, there exist different typical minimum dissipation states, corresponding respectively to different typical current profiles observed in experiments. It is also found that there exist different types of relaxed states in the different regions of the parameter space for a selected device. Each current profile mode is achieved by adjusting controllable parameters such as plasma resistivity, boundary toroidal magnetic field or boundary electric field. The results show that there exists a key parameter E0/ηB0 in determining the final relaxed states. The typical minimum dissipation state may evolve to other forms of states abruptly by increasing E0/ηB0 to be above a critical value. Three forms of current profile are presented for the low aspect ratio National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) [M. Ono et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)]. The first form peaks in the edge of the high field side similar to the typical experimental form. The second peaks in the central region on the equatorial plane. The third may have a hole or reverse in the central region. Both the second and third states could be obtained by increasing E0/ηB0 to be above the critical value.

Plasmas 9, 2221 (2002)] are presented. In this work, the effect of roughness imposed only on the surfaces of the inner shell is studied. Realistic perturbations are adopted from a measured spectrum of a glass capsule (as a surrogate for the high-Z inner shell). It is found that perturbing the inner surface of the inner shell shows minimal degradation in capsule performance. On the other hand, when roughness is imposed on the outer surface of the inner shell, the growth of large Legendre mode number perturbations (l>200) leads to shell breakup. Further analysis reveals a new pathway for the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability. L-shell radiation (>8 keV) from the high-Z hohlraum wall ablates the outer surface of the high-Z inner shell, promoting large outward expansion which is reversed by the converging outer shell. The classic conditions for RT instability are met: low density material pushing onto the higher density inner shell. It is shown that this effect can be controlled by tamping the outward expansion of the inner shell with a variety of materials. Simulations with separate CH and Ti tampers demonstrate that the redesigned capsule can withstand perturbations with high mode number content without exhibiting shell breakup. Furthermore, the outstanding question of determining the cutoff mode number (lc) is addressed by performing simulations with successively larger maximum l, reaching values beyond 1000, and calculating the mix width of the pusher/tamper interface for the CH-tamped case. These numerical studies suggest that the mix width approaches a constant value close to 40% of the shell width at peak compression. While not a proof that lc has been found, this result suggests that a mix-relevant mode number may be within reach of current simulation capabilities.

These data, from the OMEGA [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)] laser system, show that the measured RT growth of mass perturbations was reduced when a picket pulse was used. The picket pulse and subsequent relaxation period, before the drive pulse, cause the foil to expand and rarefy, resulting in higher ablation velocities during the drive pulse and greater ablative stabilization. This effect was examined both computationally and experimentally for different picket-pulse intensities.

An experiment is planned to study the inverse-pinch configuration using the Zebra Z pinch [B. S. Bauer et at, AlP Conference Proceedings Vol. 409 (American Institute of Physics, Melville, 1997), p. 153] of the Nevada Terawatt Facility at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). The dynamics of the discharge formation have been analyzed using analytic models and numerical methods. Strong heating occurs by thermalization of directed energy when an outward moving current sheet (the inverse pinch effect) collides with the outer wall of the experimental chamber. Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations show Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov like modes of instability, as expected because of the shock acceleration during plasma formation phase. The instabilities are not disruptive, hut give rise to a mild level of turbulence. The conclusion from this work is that an interesting experiment relevant to wall confinement for MTF could be done using existing equipment at UNR.

Sensitivity to target fabrication defects in spherical harmonics modes L ⩽ 12 is quantified in terms of a mode dependent tolerance to surface perturbations. Simulations of NIF capsule implosions with single mode perturbations on a single surface allow the determination of modal growth factors. Simulations with large initial perturbations were also done to determine how large a final perturbation could he tolerated. Combining the growth factors and tolerances determines specifications on initial perturbations. This allows an estimate of modal tolerance for each capsule surface and thickness variation for a polyimide ablator capsule design with central gas fills of 0.3 or 0.6 mg/cm³.

JO - Plant, Cell & Environment JF - Plant, Cell & Environment Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 27 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 449 EP - 458 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01407791 AB - A lower than theoretically expected increase in leaf photosynthesis with long-term elevation of carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is often attributed to limitations in the capacity of the plant to utilize the additional photosynthate, possibly resulting from restrictions in rooting volume, nitrogen supply or genetic constraints. Field-grown, nitrogen-fixing soybean with indeterminate flowering might therefore be expected to escape these limitations. Soybean was grown from emergence to grain maturity in ambient air (372 µmol mol−1[CO2]) and in air enriched with CO2 (552 µmol mol−1[CO2]) using Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) technology. The diurnal courses of leaf CO2 uptake ( A) and stomatal conductance ( gs) for upper canopy leaves were followed throughout development from the appearance of the first true leaf to the completion of seed filling. Across the growing season the daily integrals of leaf photosynthetic CO2 uptake ( A′) increased by 24.6% in elevated [CO2] and the average mid-day gs decreased by 21.9%. The increase in A′ was about half the 44.5% theoretical maximum increase calculated from Rubisco kinetics. There was no evidence that the stimulation of A was affected by time of day, as expected if elevated [CO2] led to a large accumulation of leaf carbohydrates towards the end of the photoperiod. In general, the proportion of assimilated carbon that accumulated in the leaf as non-structural carbohydrate over the photoperiod was small (< 10%) and independent of [CO2] treatment. By contrast to A′, daily integrals of PSII electron transport measured by modulated chlorophyll fluorescence were not significantly increased by elevated [CO2]. This indicates that A at elevated [CO2] in these field conditions was predominantly ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RubP) limited rather than Rubisco limited. There was no evidence of any loss of stimulation toward the end of the growing season; the largest stimulation of A′ occurred during late seed filling. The stimulation of photosynthesis was, however, transiently lost for a brief period just before seed fill. At this point, daytime accumulation of foliar carbohydrates was maximal, and the hexose:sucrose ratio in plants grown at elevated [CO2] was significantly larger than that in plants grown at current [CO2]. The results show that even for a crop lacking the constraints that have been considered to limit the responses of C3 plants to rising [CO2] in the long term, the actual increase in A over the growing season is considerably less than the increase predicted from theory.

Temperature measurements using spectroscopy of the shocked D[sub 2] self-emission can help discriminate between different deuterium equation of state models. Time-resolved spectra are recorded using four diagnostic systems, each composed of a fiber optic probe that transmits light from the shocked D[sub 2] to a remote streaked spectrometer. Calibration of the entire system in the streaked mode is performed using a xenon arc lamp. The absolute xenon arc lamp spectrum is determined by comparison with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards. Data analysis is performed by measuring the wavelength-dependent efficiency for each system and applying this to determine the shocked D[sub 2] self-emission spectrum. Temperature is deduced from either the wavelength dependence of the spectral radiance, ignoring the absolute intensity, or from both the wavelength dependence and the absolute intensity. The shocked D[sub 2] temperature uncertainties obtained with the methods described here are well below the differences between D[sub 2] equation of state (EOS) models and these measurements should therefore provide new insight into D[sub 2] EOS physics. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Parameters of the plasma and ion beam were measured as a function of magnetic field. The extracted ion current shows a nonmonotonic behavior as function of magnetic field strength but the magnetic field distribution had only little influence on the current-voltage characteristics and on all other derived plasma and beam parameters. Analysis of our experimental conditions indicates that the observed nonmonotonic behavior is associated with a change in the ratio of electron Larmor radius to cathode sheath thickness. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 75 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1134 EP - 1148 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - It has recently been shown that bimaterial microcantilevers can be used as uncooled infrared detectors. Bimaterial microcantilevers deform as their temperature changes due to the absorption of infrared photons. Infrared imaging using uncooled cantilever arrays has already been achieved by a number of groups. In this paper, we examined the performance of microcantilevers as uncooled infrared detectors with optical readout. As in the case of other kinds of uncooled thermal infrared detectors, temperature fluctuation noise and background fluctuation noise are fundamental limits to the performance of microcantilever thermal detectors. Since microcantilevers are mechanical devices, thermo-mechanical noise will also influence their performance. We fabricated a SiN[sub x] microcantilever thermal detector with an Al layer in the bimaterial region. For the microcantilever geometry and materials used, the background fluctuation noise equivalent temperature difference, NETD[sub BF], calculated for f/1 optics and a 30 Hz frame rate was found to be 1.26 mK. The NETD[sub TF], limited by temperature fluctuation noise, was calculated to be 7.4 mK while the thermo-mechanical NETD[sub TM] was calculated to be 5.3 mK. The sum of all fundamental noise sources, including the intrinsic noise of the “optical lever” readout, results in a total NETD of 9.2 mK. Absence of the readout noise would improve this parameter by only 2%. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Fulfillment of the requirements for limiting dose to the public, which includes containment of the radioactive waste emplaced in the proposed repository and subsequent slow release of radionuclides from the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) into the geosphere, will rely on a robust waste container design, among other EBS components. Part of the evaluation process involves sensitivity studies aimed at elucidating which model parameters contribute most to the waste package and overlying drip shield degradation characteristics. The model parameters identified for this study include (1) general corrosion rate parameters and (2) stress corrosion cracking (SCC) parameters. Temperature dependence and parameter uncertainty are evaluated for the general corrosion rate model parameters while for the SCC model parameters, uncertainty treatment of stress intensity factor, crack initiation threshold, and manufacturing flaw orientations are evaluated. Based on these evaluations new uncertainty distributions are generated and recommended for future analyses. Also, early waste package failures due to improper heat treatment were added to the waste package degradation model. The results of these investigations indicate that the waste package failure profiles are governed by the manufacturing flaw orientation model parameters.

In a Markov chain model of these interrelations, actions depend on the individual behaviors of particular subsystems, the time at which the subsystem is responding, and the history of occurrences leading up to the response time. Aggregation of effects leading to a result is rarely linear, so a nonlinear weighted sure called "chained sort aggregation" is proposed as an appropriate model. The method is readily combined with any available objective information in a hybrid analysis.

The technique can image and measure brazing filler metal flow velocities, positions, contact angles, and fillet shape. The system captures the two-dimensional fluid flow kinetics common in most capillary driven processes. It consists of a fully integrated, digital, closed loop heating station and a high speed digital camera. The apparatus provides an accessible approach for gathering dynamic braze wetting and flow data that are normally difficult to obtain in a furnace environment. Braze flow displacement curves are generated from the processed camera images. The flow data are being used to calibrate and validate a braze flow model that will predict the effects of dissolution, diffusion, compositional changes, and solidification on capillary fill and fillet geometry.

Images of the trailing edge of a weld pool (solid-liquid interface) were collected during the welding process. Weld ripple formation was observed and the associated solid-liquid interface velocity was measured. A distinct sequence of events was observed each time a ripple formed. This sequence of events involved apparent changes in the solid-liquid interface velocity, dendrite morphology, and dendrite growth direction. The microstructures of a group of rippled welds were examined and a number of features associated with the rippling phenomenon were identified. These features included changes in the pattern of the interdendritic constituents and changes in the solute distribution across the ripple feature. This information coupled with the video images was used to explain more fully the weld rippling phenomenon and the origins of microstructural changes associated with it. It is shown that solute redistribution occurs in the weld on a length scale associated with the ripple features.

The aim of the CEP was to provide University campuses with site-specific assessments of their earthquake strong motion exposure, to complement estimates they obtain from consultants according to the state-of-the-practice (SOP), i.e. Building Codes (UBC 97, IBC 2000), and Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA). The Building Codes are highly simplified tools, while the more sophisticated PSHA is still somewhat generic in its approach because it usually draws from many earthquakes not necessarily related to the faults threatening the site under study.Between 1996 and 2001, the site-specific studies focused on three campuses: Riverside, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. Each campus selected 1–3 sites to demonstrate the methods and procedures used by the CEP: Rivera Library and Parking Lots (PL) 13 and 16 at UCR, Thornton Hospital, the Cancer Center, and PL 601 at UCSD, and Engineering I building at UCSB. The project provided an estimate of strong ground motions at each selected site, for selected earthquake scenarios. These estimates were obtained by using an integrated geological, seismological, geophysical, and geotechnical approach, that brings together the capabilities of campus and laboratory personnel. Most of the site-specific results are also applicable to risk evaluation of other sites on the respective campuses.The CEP studies have provided a critical assessment of whether existing campus seismic design bases are appropriate. Generally speaking, the current assumptions are not acknowledging the severity of the majority of expected motions. Eventually, both the results from the SOP and from the CEP should be analyzed, to arrive at decisions concerning the design-basis for buildings on UC campuses.

T1 - Analysis of a full spectrum hybrid lighting system JO - Solar Energy JF - Solar Energy Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 76 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 359 SN - 0038092X AB - Hybrid lighting is a new approach to lighting that integrates light from natural and electric sources. A two-axis tracking concentrator collects beam radiation which is reflected onto a mirror that divides the solar radiation into infrared and visible spectra. The visible light is distributed through optical fibers and combined with fluorescent lighting in specially designed luminaires. The infrared portion of the spectrum is used to generate electricity using a thermal photovoltaic array. A simulation of a hybrid lighting system has been created using the TRNSYS transient simulation program. The simulation incorporates the spectral properties of the hybrid lighting components as well as the spectral distribution of the incoming solar radiation that is based upon output from the SMARTS atmospheric transmittance model. An office building model is coupled with the hybrid lighting simulation to predict the annual energy impact upon lighting, heating, and cooling loads. Simulations were performed in six locations within the United States. Hybrid lighting systems performed best in Honolulu, HI and Tucson, AZ justifying system capital costs of $2410 and $1995 per module, respectively, based on a 10 year payback period.

S. Department of Energy?s Richland Operations Office has initiated efforts to adapt and implement the features, events, and processes (FEP) methodology used in scenario development for nuclear waste disposal programs to the environmental management and remediation problems facing the Hanford site. These efforts have shown that modification of the FEPs methodology to incorporate the use of process relationship diagrams (PRD) is effective in facilitating the development of conceptual models and selection of potentially relevant factors (i.e., FEPs) to be incorporated into a specific environmental assessment. In adopting this methodology for Hanford, a master PRD was created to provide a structure to identify these factors and to illustrate the relationships among them. The organizational framework of the master PRD was developed to match the organization of current Hanford site-wide environmental assessment activities and to facilitate screening of the FEPs relevant to the specific assessments needed for the site.

Depending on the federal site, these savings can represent thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and many can be achieved with minimal cash outlays. In addition to energy/resource savings, a well-run O&M program will: • Increase the safety of all staff because properly maintained equipment is safer equipment. • Ensure the comfort, health, and safety of building occupants through properly functioning equipment, providing a healthy indoor environment. • Confirm the design life expectancy of equipment is achieved. • Facilitate compliance with federal legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.The focus of this guide is to provide the federal O&M/energy manager and practitioner with information and actions aimed at achieving these savings and benefits. The O&M BPG was developed under the direction of the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program.

Here we examine several data fitting and interpolation techniques (finite-element interpolation, kriging, and polynomial regression) that can be used to construct a sequence of progressively upgraded response surface approximations based on Progressive Lattice Sampling (PLS) incremental experimental designs. PLS is a paradigm for structured sampling of a hypercube parameter space by placing and incrementally adding samples at each level of the design in a manner intended to efficiently leverage the samples at all previous levels. When combined with compatible interpolation methods, PLS can be used to construct efficiently upgradable response surface approximations. Upon upgrading, convergence heuristics are gained that can be used to estimate the magnitude of the approximation error entailed in the response surface. The three interpolation methods tried here are examined for fitting and convergence behavior in several test problems.

Rapid mounting and dismounting of the samples increases the efficiency of the crystal screening and data collection processes, where many crystals can be tested for the quality of diffraction. The sample-mounting subsystem has random access to 112 samples, stored under liquid nitrogen. Results of extensive tests regarding the performance and reliability of the system are presented. To further increase throughput, we have also developed a sample transport/storage system based on “puck-shaped” cassettes, which can hold sixteen samples each. Seven cassettes fit into a standard dry shipping Dewar. The capabilities of a robotic crystal mounting and alignment system with instrumentation control software and a relational database allows for automated screening and data collection to be developed.

The crystal structure of Pta from the methane-producing archaeon Methanosarcina thermophila, representing the first crystal structure of any Pta, was determined by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction at 2.7 A˚ resolution. In solution and in the crystal, the enzyme forms a homodimer. Each monomer consists of two α/β domains with a cleft along the domain boundary, which presumably contains the substrate binding sites. Comparison of the four monomers present in the asymmetric unit indicates substantial variations in the relative orientation of the two domains and the structure of the putative active site cleft. A search for structural homologs revealed the NADP+-dependent isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases as the only homologs with a similar two-domain architecture.

In this paper, we provide an overview of our laboratories and the diagnostics we have developed to study the dynamic processes of matter being shocked to extreme conditions. Results are presented on the measurement of the shock wave rise time in aluminium and nickel, the effects of dynamic pressure on the complex index in aluminium, the measurement and characterization of the shock velocity, particle velocity, and index of refraction in shocked polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and our initial studies of transient infrared vibrational spectroscopy of shocked energetic polymers (nitrocellulose and poly-vinyl nitrate).

To allow the use of IR laser diodes, an IR absorber has to be added to the polymer. As a measure of the energy released during ablation of such polymers, the shockwave velocity in air is measured with shadowgraphy. The measured shockwave velocities of a cross-linked glyzidyl azide polymer (GAP) incorporating carbon particles (as broad range absorber), reveal that the shockwave velocity decreases with the increasing irradiation wavelength (193–1064 nm) for a given fluence. In addition, the shadowgraph images reveal that for irradiation with shorter wavelengths, the amount of solid fragments decreases and more gaseous products are released. Comparing the shockwave propagation of GAP and a triazene polymer reveals that both polymers exhibit similar shockwave velocities at UV irradiation wavelength, whereas with 1064 nm irradiation, the shockwaves generated using GAP propagate faster. These results are probably due to the change of the absorption site, the mechanism of ablation, and the different decomposition enthalpies.

T1 - Examining cost effectiveness of mobile source emission control measures JO - Transport Policy JF - Transport Policy Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 155 SN - 0967070X AB - The cost-effectiveness of emission control measures, usually calculated in dollars per ton of emissions reduced, is often used to determine which control measures should be implemented to meet overall emission reduction requirements. This seemingly simple cost effectiveness methodology requires making careful choices, such as whether to employ (1) user costs or societal costs, (2) manufacturer- or consumer-level costs, (3) emission reductions in non-attainment areas only or in both non-attainment and attainment areas, and (4) annual or pollution-season emission reductions. Researchers must also carefully consider how to determine baseline emissions, whether to use multiple-pollutant emission reductions, and whether to apply emission discounting. Because there are various ways to address these issues and because different studies employ different assumptions regarding costs and emission reductions, the results of cost effectiveness studies can be significantly different and can sometimes contradict one another. This paper summarizes and adjusts the cost effectiveness results from completed studies, allowing determination of the relative cost effectiveness of key mobile source emission control measures. The paper also summarizes the cost effectiveness of stationary control measures, permitting a comparison of mobile and stationary control measures. The results of this study indicate that, except for alternative-fuel vehicles (and considering a range of uncertainties), the emission control cost of many mobile source control measures is below $10,000 per ton of emissions reduced.

JO - Vox Sanguinis JF - Vox Sanguinis Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 86 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 177 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00429007 AB - Blood banks in the USA have recently introduced minipool nucleic acid amplification testing (MP-NAT) of blood products to reduce the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) by transfusions. However, MP-NAT is limited in its ability to detect preseroconversion samples with very low viral RNA loads. To determine whether a red blood cell unit, from an MP-NAT-negative donation, transmitted HIV when transfused to a patient, we compared the viral sequences from the blood donor and recipient. The implicated donation was also tested by commercially available NAT assays at a range of dilution factors to determine whether the infectious unit could have been detected using individual-donation NAT (ID-NAT). Phylogenetic linkage of HIV sequences in the blood donor and recipient confirmed the transmission of HIV by blood transfusion, the first such case identified since introduction of MP-NAT screening in 1999. Viral RNA was reliably detected by ID-NAT, but only inconsistently detected by MP-NAT. Even following the introduction of MP-NAT, a preseroconversion donation with a viral load of ≤ 150 copies of RNA/ml went undetected and resulted in an HIV transmission. Implementation of ID-NAT will further reduce such rare transmissions, but at a considerable cost per infectious unit interdicted.

This experiment involved the release of ∼82,000 L of water over a period of 17 months directly into a near-vertical fault under both constant positive head (at ∼0.04 m) and decreasing fluxes. A mix of conservative tracers (pentafluorobenzoic acid (PFBA) and bromide (applied in the form of lithium bromide)) was released along the fault over a period of 9 days, 7 months after the start of water release along the fault. As water was released into the fault, seepage rates were monitored in a large cavity excavated below the test bed. After the release of tracers, seepage water was continuously collected from three locations and analyzed for the injected tracers. Observations of bromide concentrations in seepage water during the early stages of the experiment and bromide and PFBA concentrations in the seepage water indicate the significant effects of matrix diffusion on transport through a fault embedded in fractured, welded rock.

The erodent particles, 390 μm angular Al2O3, impacted at 30, 60, or 90° at a velocity of 50, 70, or 100 m/s. Steady-state erosion rates (ER) were obtained and the material-loss mechanisms were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The geopolymer responded to normal impact as a classically brittle material. Elastic–plastic indentation events led to formation of brittle lateral cracks that resulted in loss of material; erosion rate was proportional to erodent velocity to the 2.3 power. Impact at 60° produced similar results, with the erosion rates being in general slightly lower. Impact at 30° led to anomalously high erosion rates that were approximately independent of velocity. This response was attributed to presence of microcracks in the matrix and chipping of aggregates through propagation of radial cracks.

JO - Wind Energy JF - Wind Energy Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 87 EP - 108 SN - 10954244 AB - Several detailed technical investigations of grid ancillary service impacts of wind power plants in the United States have recently been performed. These studies were applied to Xcel Energy (in Minnesota) and PacifiCorp and the Bonneville Power Administration (both in the northwestern United States). Although the approaches vary, three utility time frames appear to be most at issue: regulation, load following and unit commitment. This article describes and compares the analytic frameworks from recent analysis and discusses the implications and cost estimates of wind integration. The findings of these studies indicate that relatively large-scale wind generation will have an impact on power system operation and costs, but these impacts and costs are relatively low at penetration rates that are expected over the next several years.

ADI is involved in the first step of the most widespread anaerobic route of arginine degradation. ADI, missing in high eukaryotes, is a potential antimierohial and antiparasitic drug target. We have determined the crystal structure of ADI from Pseudomonas aeruginosa by the multiwavelength anomalous diffraction method at 2.45 Å resolution. The structure exhibits similarity to other arginine-modifying or substituted arginine-modifying enzymes such as dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH), arginine:glycine amidinotransferase, and arginine:inosamine-phosphate amidinotransferase, despite the lack of significant amino acid sequence homology to these enzymes. The similarity spans a core domain comprising five ββαβ motifs arranged in a circle around a 5-fold pseudosymmetry axis. ADI contains an additional α-helical domain of novel topology inserted between the first and the second ββαβ modules. A catalytic triad, Cys-His-Glu/Asp (arranged in a different manner from that of the thiol proteases), seen in the other arginine-modifying enzymes is also conserved in ADI, as well as many other residues involved in substrate binding. Based on this conservation pattern and the assumption that the substrate binding mode is similar to that of DDAH, an ADI catalytic mechanism is proposed. The main players are Cys-406, which mounts the nucleophilic attack on the carbon atom of the guanidinium group of arginine, and His-278, which serves as a general base.

Stereo imaging prior to and following in situ tensile straining is utilized to describe the three-dimensional (3D) evolution of dislocation structures with incremental straining and observation by TEM. The initial 3D configuration is used as input for 3D discrete dislocation dynamics simulations, and the final 3D configuration serves to refine and validate the DD simulation, thereby providing a direct quantitative link between experiment and dislocation dynamics modeling. In the present experiment, we observed complex 3D structures of dislocations, with significant out-of-plane motion. Computer simulations incorporating the Friedel–Escaig cross-slip mechanism indicate that surface image forces are sufficiently strong to activate out-of-plane motion for screw dislocation segments near the surface. Cross-slip of screw segments and dislocation climb of edge components are shown to be necessary mechanisms for explaining the observed 3D dislocation motion.

The analyzed materials consist of 10 body-centered cubic (bcc), 7 face-centered cubic (fcc), and 2 hexagonal close packed (hcp) metals. It was found that the metals after irradiation showed necking at yield when the yield stress exceeded the true plastic instability stress, σIS, for the unirradiated material. It was also shown that σIS was almost independent of dose below a critical dose. The critical dose is called the dose to plastic instability at yield, DC, because at higher doses the material shows necking at yield. The DC values ranged from 0.002 to 0.2 dpa for bcc and hcp metals, except for a high purity iron, that had a DC value of 6 dpa; whereas the fcc metals gave generally high values ranging from 0.1 to 40 dpa. It is attempted to explain the dose independence of the plastic instability stress by a straightforward shifting of tensile curves by the appropriate strain corresponding to the radiation-induced increase in yield stress. The dose independence of strain-hardening behavior suggests that radiation-induced defects and deformation-produced dislocations give similar net strain-hardening effects.

Cantilever microbeams with a cross-section of 26 × 250 μm were tested under fully reversed loading conditions at 20 Hz. The observed stress-life curve and fatigue limit was similar to what has typically been reported for conventional bulk nickel. SEM inspection of the fatigue surface revealed that failure initiated in zones of localized extrusions and intrusions associated with persistent slip bands (PSBs). Focused ion beam machining was used to extract a cross-sectional TEM foil from the deformation zone, revealing an unexpected thick (up to 400 nm) oxide on the surface of the PSBs. This PSB oxide thickening mechanism appears to be the source of crack initiation.

Resonant longitudinal-optical phonon scattering is used to depopulate the lower radiative state and a low-loss metal–metal waveguide is used to provide high modal confinement. Optical powers of ∼1.8 mW at 10 K and ∼400 μW at 78 K are observed from a single facet of a 40-μm-wide and 1.35-mm-long laser device. A threshold current density of 432 A/cm2 at 10 K and 552 A/cm2 at 78 K was obtained in cw mode. The same device lased up to 129 K in pulsed mode with a threshold current density of 419 A/cm2 at 5 K. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We find that the area of two-dimensional surface islands increases when the temperature is raised and decreases when the temperature is lowered, suggesting that thermal bulk vacancies are created at the surface. By measuring the temperature dependence of the change in area of the islands, we determine a Pt bulk vacancy formation energy of 1.54±0.07 eV, consistent with previous measurements and calculations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

CoxTi1-xO2 (x=0.07) thin films exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism, as evidenced by hysteresis in M–H loop. Chemical mapping indicates segregation of the Co dopant atoms in these films. However, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggests that the segregated Co is not metallic, but in the Co+2 state. These results are consistent with a segregated Ti–Co–O phase being responsible for the ferromagnetic behavior. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The infrared spectrum of the "mixed-valent" species is particularly interesting and exhibits features consistent with both electronic localization and delocalization on the vibrational time scale, as revealed by the presence of both (i) a highly active totally symmetric mode from the bridging pyrazine ligand (ν8a), and (ii) total coalescence of at least four modes from peripheral bipyridine ligands. The nature and origin of the observed peaks were confirmed by analysis of the shifts in vibrational frequencies accompanying deuteration of pyrazine and also by comparison of the data for the dimeric complexes with those for the parent monomers.

Sulfate binds to the uranyl as a monodentate ligand in equimolar solutions. The geometry of the ion pair is very similar to configurations found in crystalline structures; in particular, the U-O-S angle is bent in solution as well as in the solid state. It can therefore be concluded that an U-O-S angle of 143° is an intrinsic property of the uranyl sulfate bond and not due to packing effects or interaction with the water in the primary solvation shell.

Stainless steel samples of AISI434, AISI436, AISI441, AISI444, and AISI446 were studied, and the results suggest that AISI446 could be considered as a candidate bipolar plate material. In both polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell anode and cathode environments, AISI446 steel underwent passivation and the passive films were very stable. An increase in the ICR between the steel and the carbon backing material due to the passive film formation was noted. The thickness of the passive film on AISI446 was estimated to be 2.6 nm for the film formed at −0.1 V in the simulated PEMFC anode environment and 3.0 nm for the film formed at 0.6 V in the simulated PEMFC cathode environment. Further improvement in the ICR will require some modification of the passive film, which is dominated by chromium oxide.

The powder morphology of the active cathode materials was examined by a scanning electron microscope. The electrochemical performance of these cells was investigated by hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) testing, accelerated aging, and AC impedance measurement of symmetric cells. Although all of the fresh cells are found to meet and exceed the power requirements set by PNGV, the power capability of those cells with non-doped LiNi 0.8Co0.2O2 cathodes fades rapidly due to the rise of the cell impedance. Al-doping is found very effective to suppress the cell impedance rise by stabilizing the charge-transfer impedance on the cathode side. The stabilization mechanism may be related to the low average oxidation state of nickel ions in the cathode. The powder morphology also plays a secondary role in determining the impedance stabilization.

The thermal abuse response of two advanced chemistries (Gen1 and Gen2) were measured and compared with commercial Sony 18650 cells. Gen1 cells consisted of an MCMB graphite based anode and a LiNi0.85Co0.15O2 cathode material while the Gen2 cells consisted of a MAG10 anode graphite and a LiNi0.80Co0.15 Al0.05O2 cathode. Accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to measure the thermal response and properties of the cells and cell materials up to 400 °C. The MCMB graphite was found to result in increased thermal stability of the cells due to more effective solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation. The Al stabilized cathodes were seen to have higher peak reaction temperatures that also gave improved cell thermal response. The effects of accelerated aging on cell properties were also determined. Aging resulted in improved cell thermal stability with the anodes showing a rapid reduction in exothermic reactions while the cathodes only showed reduced reactions after more extended aging.

We find that the EUV coronal emission above the photosphere dominated by single polarity magnetic elements is spongy in space and has coherent braid-like structures in time. Contrary to these long living structures, corona above the regions with mixed polarity magnetic elements is highly discrete and consists of sporadic microflares, supersonic jets and their combinations. We believe that in the unipolar magnetic regions the energy flow from the surface to corona is associated with the nonlinear collective phenomena in the ensemble of oscillating magnetic flux tubes. These phenomena lead to formation of hot coronal “clouds” that have the properties of energetically open turbulence with tendency to self-organization. Jets and microflares above the mixed polarity regions are associated with shock waves produced by reconnecting magnetic flux tubes in the photosphere and subsequent interaction of shocks which leads to hydrodynamic cumulation of energy, which leads to impulsive phenomena similar to shaped charges. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A central question concerns why the observed reconnection rates are much faster than predictions made by classical theories, such as the Sweet-Parker model based on MHD with classical Spitzer resistivity. Often, the local resistivity is conjectured to be enhanced by micro-instabilities to accelerate reconnection rates either in the context of the Sweet-Parker model or by facilitating setup of the Pestchek model. Although it is commonly believed that there is plenty of free energy available at the reconnection region to destabilize some sort of micro-instability, a clear identification of this instability and its exact role in reconnection has never been established experimentally. We report the first such experimental evidence of a clear and positive correlation between magnetic fluctuations in the lower-hybrid frequency range and resistivity enhancement during fast reconnection in the low-collisionality regimes in the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX). The waves have been identified as right-hand polarized whistler waves, propagating obliquely to the reconnecting field, with a phase velocity comparable to the relative drift velocity. These waves are consistent with the modified two-stream instability driven by large drift speeds compared to the Alfven speed in high-beta plasmas. The short coherence length and large variation along the propagation direction indicate their strongly nonlinear nature. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The meeting has clearly demonstrated a growing mutual interest of these two groups: presenters of one group tried to make their talks understandable to another group, discussions were very lively, and a number of points for further joint effort have been identified. This was a timely meeting in view of the explosion of observational data from new space and ground based instruments. New phenomena have been observed and/or understood more clearly, including gamma ray burst sources, the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background, high magnetic field pulsars or magnetars, solar acoustic spectroscopy, ultra luminous star burst galaxies, and many others. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/04/06/ VL - 43 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 3870 EP - 3879 SN - 00062960 AB - Phospholamban (PLB) is a major target of the /3-adrenergic cascade in the heart, functioning to modulate contractile force by altering the rate of calcium re-sequestration by the Ca-ATPase. Functionally, inhibition by PLB binding is manifested by shifts in the calcium dependence of Ca-ATPase activation toward higher calcium levels; phosphorylation of PLB by PKA reverses the inhibitory action of PLB. To investigate structural changes in the cytoplasmic portion of PLB that result from either the phosphorylation of PLB by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or calcium binding to the Ca-ATPase, we have used frequency-domain fluorescence spectroscopy to measure the spatial separation and confonnational heterogeneity between N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide, covalently bound to a single cysteine (Cys24) engineered near the membrane surface of the transmembrane domain of PLB, and Tyr6 in the cytosolic domain. Irrespective of calcium activation of the Ca-ATPase or phosphorylation of Ser16 in PLB by PKA, we find that PLB remains tightly associated with the Ca-ATPase in a well-defined conformation. However, calcium activation of the Ca-ATPase induces an increase in the overall dimensions of the cytoplasmic portion of bound PLB, whereas PLB phosphorylation results in a more compact structure, consistent with increased helical content induced by a salt link between phospho-Ser16 and Arg13. Thus, enzyme activation of the Ca-ATPase may occur through different mechanisms: calcium binding to high-affinity sites within the Ca-ATPase functions to overcome conformational constraints imposed by PLB on the N-domain of the Ca-ATPase; alternatively, phosphorylation stabilizes the backbone fold of PLB to release inhibitory interactions with the Ca-ATPase.

Literature mapping techniques can be based on authors, documents, journals, words, and/or indicators. Most mapping questions are related to research assessment or to the structure and dynamics of disciplines or networks. Several mapping techniques are demonstrated on a data set comprising 20 years of papers published in PNAS. Data from a variety of sources are merged to provide unique indicators of the domain bounded by PNAS. By using funding source information and citation counts, it is shown that, on an aggregate basis, papers funded jointly by the U.S. Public Health Service (which includes the National Institutes of Health) and non-U.S. government sources outperform papers funded by other sources, including by the U.S. Public Health Service alone. Grant data from the National Institute on Aging show that on average, papers from large grants are cited more than those from small grants, with performance increasing with grant amount. A map of the highest performing papers over the 20-year period was generated by using citation analysis. Changes and trends in the subjects of highest impact within the PNAS domain are described. Interactions between topics over the most recent 5-year period are also detailed.

The results show that the original QI version of the model is consistently more accurate than the “simplest” quantum instanton version (both being applied here with one “dividing surface”) and thus to be preferred. Also, for these examples (as with other earlier applications) the QI results agree well with the correct quantum rates (to within ∼20% or better) for all temperatures >200 K, except for situations where dynamical corrections to transition state theory (i.e., “re-crossing” dynamics) are evident. (Since re-crossing effects are substantially reduced in higher dimensionality, this is not a cause for serious concern.) A procedure is also described which facilitates use of the METROPOLIS algorithm for evaluating all quantities that appear in the QI rate expression by Monte Carlo path integral methods. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

C. Andersen, J. Chem. Phys. 72, 2384 (1980)] thermostat, we observe, as have others, synchronization of initially independent trajectories in the same potential basin when the same random number sequence is employed. For the first time, we derive the time dependence of this synchronization for a harmonic well and show that the rate of synchronization is proportional to the thermostat coupling strength at weak coupling and inversely proportional at strong coupling with a peak in between. Explanations for the synchronization and the coupling dependence are given for both thermostats. Observation of the effect for a realistic 97-atom system indicates that this phenomenon is quite general. We discuss some of the implications of this effect and propose that it can be exploited to develop new simulation techniques. We give three examples: efficient thermalization (a concept which was also noted by Fahy and Hamann [S. Fahy and D. R. Hamann, Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 761 (1992)]), time-parallelization of a trajectory in an infrequent-event system, and detecting transitions in an infrequent-event system. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The data indicate that uranyl coordinated to five water molecules is the dominating species, although a small percentage of the uranyl ions are coordinated to four waters. We argue that our result, taken together with calculated relative stabilities of 4- and 5-coordinated UO22+, are consistent with a dynamic equilibrium that favors five coordinating H2O. The data further indicate that electron transfer from the uranium(VI) to the uranyl-oxygen is incomplete and that the effective charge of the uranium is less than indicated by its formal valence. In addition, a partial electron transfer from the hydrating waters to the uranium takes place, further lowering the effective charge of the uranium atom. The results described herein are in agreement with recent density functional calculations for an actinyl-water cluster embedded in a dielectric continuum.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/04/08/ VL - 108 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 4405 EP - 4410 SN - 15206106 AB - Dehydrogenation and hydrogenation of 1-methylcyclohexene (C7H12) at 1.5 Torr on Pt(111) in the presence and absence of excess hydrogen were studied using gas chromatography and sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. Kinetic studies showed that the turnover rate (TOR), in molecules per Pt atom per second, for the dehydrogenation to toluene (C7H8) in the presence of 15 Torr of H2 increased continuously, starting at about 350 K. This onset temperature matches the onset temperature of the formation of the methylcyclohexenyl (C7H10 or C7H11) intermediates observed by SFG experiments, indicating that methylcyclohexenyl is a reactive surface intermediate in the dehydrogenation to toluene. In the absence of hydrogen, the TORs of the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions were negligible at 403 K. When 15 Torr of H2 was added, the dehydrogenation as well as the hydrogenation reactions began with constant rates (TOR = 0.042 and 0.016, respectively). This observation is consistent with an SFG measurement in which the methylcyclohexenyl intermediate was not detected until 5 Torr of H2 was added to 1.5 Torr of 1-methylcyclohexene. In light of these results, we discuss the rate-limiting step and the role of excess hydrogen in the 1-methylcyclohexene dehydrogenation reaction.

The adsorption isotherm data were first determined by frontal analysis (FA) for a mobile phase without salt (25% methanol, v/v). It was shown that the adsorption energy distribution calculated from these raw adsorption data is bimodal and that the isotherm model that best accounts for these data is the bi-Moreau model. Assuming that the addition of a salt into the mobile phase changes the numerical values of the parameters of the isotherm model, not its mathematical form, we used the inverse method (IM) of chromatography to determine the isotherm with seven salt concentrations in the mobile phase (40% methanol, v/v; 0, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 M). The saturation capacities of the model increase, qs,1 by a factor two and qs,2 by a factor four, with increasing salt concentration in the range studied while the adsorption constant b1 increases four times and b2 decreases four times. Adsorbate–adsorbate interactions vanish in the presence of salt, consistent with results obtained previously on a C18-Kromasil column. Finally, besides the ionic strength of the solution, the size, valence, and nature of the salt ions affect the thermodynamic as well as the mass transfer kinetics of the adsorption mechanism of propranolol on the XTerra column.

The same experiments were repeated on a Symmetry-C18 column to compare the adsorption mechanisms of this ionic compound on these two very different RPLC systems. Frontal analysis (FA) measurements were first carried out to determine the best isotherm model accounting for the adsorption behavior of propranolol hydrochloride on Symmetry with a mobile phase without salt (and only 25% methanol to compensate for the low retention in the absence of salt). The adsorption data were best modeled by the bi-Moreau model. Large concentration band profiles of propranolol were recorded with mobile phases having increasing KCl concentrations (0, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 M) and the best values of the isotherm coefficients were determined by the inverse method (IM) of chromatography. The general effect of a dissociated salt in the mobile phase was the same as the one observed earlier with XTerra-C18. Increasing the salt concentration increases the two saturation capacities of the adsorbent and the adsorption constant on the low-energy sites. The adsorption constant on the high-energy sites decreases and the adsorbate–adsorbate interactions tend to vanish with increasing salt concentration of the mobile phase. The saturation capacities decrease with increasing radius of the monovalent cation (Na+, K+, Cs+, etc.). Using sulfate as a bivalent anion (Na2SO4) affects markedly the adsorption equilibrium: the saturation capacities are drastically reduced, the high-energy sites nearly disappear while the adsorption constant and the adsorbate–adsorbate interactions on the low-energy sites increase strongly. The complexity of the thermodynamics in solution might explain the different influences of these salts on the adsorption behavior.

There are four isoforms of the R subunit in mammals that are similar in molecular mass and domain organization, but clearly serve different biological functions. Although high-resolution structures are available for the cAMP-binding domains and dimerization/docking domains of two isoforms, there are no high-resolution structures of any of the intact R subunit homodimer isoforms. The results of small-angle X-ray scattering studies presented here indicate that the RIα, RIIα, and RIIβ homodimers differ markedly in overall shape, despite extensive sequence homology and similar molecular masses. The RIIα and RIIβ homodimers have very extended, rod-like shapes, whereas the RIα homodimer likely has a compact Y-shape. Based on a comparison of the R subunit sequences, we predict that the linker regions are the likely cause of these large differences in shape among the isoforms. In addition, we show that cAMP binding does not cause large conformational changes in type Iα or IIα R subunit homodimers, suggesting that the activation of PKA by cAMP involves only local conformational changes in the R subunits.

Partition coefficients were experimentally determined in rat tissues and blood samples using an in vitro vial equilibration technique. These solubility ratios were in agreement with previous reports. The in vivo metabolism of chlorobenzene was evaluated using groups of three F344 male rats exposed to initial chlorobenzene concentrations ranging from 82 to 6750 ppm in a closed, recirculating gas uptake system. An optimal fit of the family of uptake curves was obtained by adjusting Michaelis-Menten metabolic constants, K m (affinity) and V max (capacity), using the PBPK model. At the highest chamber concentration, the uptake curve could not be modeled without the addition of a first-order (K fo ) metabolic pathway. Pretreatment with pyrazole, an inhibitor of oxidative microsomal metabolism, had no impact on the slope of the uptake curve. The completed PBPK model was evaluated against real-time exhaled breath data collected from rats receiving either an intraperitoneal (ip) injection or oral gavage dose of chlorobenzene in corn oil. Exhaled breath profiles were evaluated and absorption rates were determined. Development of the chlorobenzene PBPK model in rats is the first step toward future extrapolations to apply to humans.

In measurements at subtropical latitudes, minimum HCl values found in the upper troposphere (UT) were often near or below the detection limit of the measurements (0.005 parts per billion by volume), indicating that background HCl values are much lower than a global mean estimate. However, significant abundances of HCl were observed in many UT air parcels, as a result of stratosphere-to-troposphere transport events. We developed a method for diagnosing the amount of stratospheric ozone in these UT parcels using the compact linear correlation of HCl with ozone found throughout the lower stratosphere (LS). Expanded use of this method will lead to improved quantification of cross-tropopause transport events and validation of global chemical transport models.

Charge-donating K atoms adsorbed on a silver surface were reversibly attached to a C[sub60] molecule by moving it over K atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope tip. Spectroscopic measurements reveal that each attached K atom donates a constant amount of charge (∼0.6 electron charge) to the C[sub60] host, thereby enabling its molecular electronic structure to be precisely and reversibly tuned.

At first the principal incentive was to produce numerical techniques for solving problems related to national defense. Soon, however, it was recognized that numerous additional scientific and engineering applications could be accomplished by means of modified techniques that extended considerably the capabilities of the early procedures. This paper describes some of this work at The Los Alamos National Laboratory, where many types of problems were solved for the first time with the newly emerging sequence of numerical capabilities. The discussions focus principally on those with which the author has been directly involved.

The high-wavenumber viscosity is combined with a 10th-order compact scheme to produce an accurate and efficient shock-capturing method. The new scheme compares favorably with other shock-capturing algorithms.

This model is based on a low Mach number formulation that analytically removes acoustic wave propagation while retaining the compressibility effects resulting from nuclear burning. The formulation presented here generalizes low Mach number models used in combustion that are based on an ideal gas approximation to the arbitrary equations of state such as those describing the degenerate matter found in stellar material. The low Mach number formulation permits time steps that are controlled by the advective time scales resulting in a substantial improvement in computational efficiency compared to a compressible formulation. We briefly discuss the basic discretization methodology for the low Mach number equations and their implementation in an adaptive projection framework. We present validation computations in which the computational results from the low Mach number model are compared to a compressible code and present an application of the methodology to the Landau–Darrieus instability of a carbon flame.

The numerical solution of these equations for very large-scale simulations is most often carried out using semi-implicit linearization or operator-splitting techniques. These techniques do not fully converge the nonlinearities of the system so as to reduce the cost and complexity of the transient solution at each time step. For a given time-step size, this process exchanges temporal accuracy for computational efficiency. This study considers the temporal-accuracy issue by presenting detailed numerical-convergence studies for problems related to radiation–diffusion simulations. In this context a particular spatial discretization based on a Galerkin finite-element technique is used. The time-integration methods that we consider include: fully implicit, semi-implicit, and operator-splitting techniques. Results are presented for the relative accuracy and the asymptotic order of accuracy of the various methods. The results demonstrate both first-order and second-order asymptotic order of accuracy for the fully implicit, semi-implicit, and the operator-splitting schemes. Additionally a second-order operator-splitting linearized-diffusion method is also presented.

In contrast to the situation for covalent semiconductors, application of this technique to SrTiO3 produces poor fits when the density of states is computed within the local density or generalized gradient approximation. The resulting VBM is too high by several tenths of an eV. However, an excellent fit, and a more physically reasonable VBM, is obtained when the density of states is computed within a recently-developed self-consistent GW approximation. Extrapolating the X-ray excited leading edge to the energy axis, and finding the energy at which the UV-excited leading edge intensity goes to zero, also yield physically reasonable VBM values that are in good mutual agreement, and in good agreement with the VBM obtained by fitting to GW theory. These numbers are useful for accurate band offset determination.

The approach resolves distinct sites and is robust for systems with single or multiple simultaneous adsorption sites. The observed ion distributions reveal unexpected differences in the adsorption sites of these cations that are needed to interpret electrical double-layer phenomena using surface complexation models.

By adopting generally contracted spherical harmonic Gaussian-type spinors, the small-component basis functions are almost half as many as the basis expansion with the decoupled scalar spin orbitals. This advantage is exploited to enhance the efficiency in the integral transformation. The present integral transformation program is 4–8 times faster than the pioneering programs of Molfdir and Dirac. As an illustrative example, the CCSD and CCSD(T) methods are successfully applied to the ground state of thallium hydride.

It provides charged-particle pattern recognition, momentum measurement and particle identification through determinations of both ionization energy loss (dE/dx) and associated transition radiation (TR) photons. A custom front-end electronics is instrumented with a dual-gain system to read out the dE/dx and the TR events. A recirculating gas system for the Xe-based mixture is developed. The device will be fully operational starting in December 2003. It will provide e/π separation with momenta ranging from 0.25 to 50 GeV/c.

Existing and proposed 2D pad and pixel detectors are moving towards higher segmentation in order to increase position resolution and/or signal-to-noise ratio. As pixel density increases above 104 pixels/cm2, the power dissipation of the front-end ASIC becomes a serious constraint. We discuss the power-constrained noise optimization of ASIC front ends in scaled CMOS technology.

We study these multidimensional potential-energy surfaces both inside and outside the touching point. Inside the point of contact we define the potential on a multi-million-point grid in 5D deformation space where elongation, merging projectile and target spheroidal shapes, neck radius and projectile/target mass asymmetry are independent shape variables. The same deformation space and the corresponding potential-energy surface also describe the shape evolution from the nuclear ground-state to separating fragments in fission, and the fast-fission trajectories in incomplete fusion. For separated nuclei we study the macroscopic-microscopic potential energy, that is the “collision surface” between a spheroidally deformed target and a spheroidally deformed projectile as a function of three coordinates which are: the relative location of the projectile center-of-mass with respect to the target center-of-mass and the spheroidal deformations of the target and the projectile. We limit our study to the most favorable relative positions of target and projectile, namely that the symmetry axes of the target and projectile are collinear. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The optical absorption edge covers a wide energy range from the intrinsic band gap of InN of about 0.7 to about 1.7 eV which is close to the previously accepted band gap of InN. The electron concentration dependence of the optical absorption edge energy is fully accounted for by the Burstein–Moss shift. Results of secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements indicate that O and H impurities cannot fully account for the free electron concentration in the films. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Annealed and unannealed diamond-like carbon films have almost identical short-range order. Our fluctuation microscopy results, however, indicate the presence of medium range order or clustering in the films on a lateral length scale that exceeds 1 nm. Within the clustered regions, the dominant local ordering appears to be diamond-like, and graphite-like ordering is not observed. Thermal annealing up to 600 °C leads to an increase in diamond-like clustering with no onset of graphite-like clustering. However, after high temperature annealing up to 1000 °C, graphite-like clustering becomes apparent as a result of the conversion of diamond-like carbon to graphite-like carbon. The results on the as-deposited films and films annealed up to 600 °C suggest that a spontaneous medium range ordering process occurs in diamond-like carbon films during and subsequent to film growth, and this may play an important role in stress relaxation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Detailed microstructural analysis using transmission electron microscopy shows that reduced growth pressure increases the presence of cobalt clusters. The resistivity is found to follow a log(ρ)∼T-1/2 dependence over a wide temperature range. This behavior is characteristic of hopping transport in multiphase systems and implies the presence of cobalt clustering. Thus, transport measurements are shown to be sensitive to the appearance of metallic clusters in these systems and suggest a rapid method for determing the presence of clustering in these and other magnetically doped semiconductor systems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We find unexpectedly that the incident electric field E couples to the magnetic resonance of the SRR when the EM waves propagate perpendicular to the SRR plane and the incident E is parallel to the gap-bearing sides of the SRR. This is manifested by a dip in the transmission spectrum. A simple analytic model is introduced to explain this interesting behavior. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

With angle-resolved spin polarized photoemission spectroscopy, the Debye temperature is determined to be 79±35 K in spin majority, and 125±35 K for spin minority. Residual spin-mixing contributions to bands with Stoner like behavior as well as contributions from the spin dependent plasmon modes for Gd(0001) are implicated.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/04/13/ VL - 43 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 4071 EP - 4081 SN - 00062960 AB - IA3 is a highly specific and potent 68-amino acid endogenous inhibitor of yeast proteinase A (YprA), and X-ray crystallographic studies have shown that IA3 binds to YprA as an α-helix [Li, M., Phylip, L. H., Lees, W. E., Winther, J. R., Dunn, B. M., Wlodawer, A., Kay, J., and Gustchina, A. (2000) Nat. Struct. Biol. 7, 113-1l7]. Surprisingly, only residues 2-32 of IA3 are seen in the X-ray structure, and the remaining residues are believed to be disordered in the complex. We have used circular dichroism (CD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to show that IA3 is unstructured in the absence of YprA. Specifically, IA3 produced a CD spectrum characteristic of an unstructured peptide, and the 15N HSQC NMR spectra of IA3 were characteristic of a polypeptide lacking intrinsic structure. We characterized the unstructured state of IA3 by using singular-value decomposition (SVD) to analyze the CD data in the presence of TFE, by fully assigning the unbound IA3 protein by NMR and comparing the chemical shifts to published random-coil values, and by measuring 1H-15N heteronuclear NOEs, which are all consistent with an unfolded protein. The IA3 samples used for NMR analyses were active and inhibited YprA with an inhibition constant (K) of 1.7 nM, and the addition of YprA led to a large spectral transition in IA3. Calorimetric (ITC) data also show that the overall enthalpy of the interaction between IA3 and YprA is exothermic.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/04/13/ VL - 43 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 4196 EP - 4205 SN - 00062960 AB - The DNA repair protein UvrB plays an indispensable role in the stepwise and sequential damage recognition of nucleotide excision repair in Escherichia coli. Our previous studies suggested that UvrB is responsible for the chemical damage recognition only upon a strand opening mediated by UvrA. Difficulties were encountered in studying the direct interaction of UvrB with adducts due to the presence of UvrA. We report herein that a single point mutation of Y95W in which a tyrosine is replaced by a tryptophan results in an UvrB mutant that is capable of efficiently binding to structure-specific DNA adducts even in the absence of UvrA. This mutant is fully functional in the UvrABC incisions. The dissociation constant for the mutant-DNA adduct interaction was less than 100 nM at physiological temperatures as determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. In contrast, similar substitutions at other residues in the β-hairpin with tryptophan or phenylalanine do not confer UvrB such binding ability. Homology modeling of the structure of E. coli UvrB shows that the aromatic ring of residue Y95 and only Y95 directly points into the DNA binding cleft. We have also examined UvrB recognition of both "normal" bulky BPDEDNA and protein-cross-linked DNA (DPC) adducts and the roles of aromatic residues of the β-hairpin in the recognition of these lesions. A mutation of Y92W resulted in an obvious decrease in the efficiency of UvrABC incisions of normal adducts, while the incision of the DPC adduct is dramatically increased. Our results suggest that Y92 may function differently with these two types of adducts, while the Y95 residue plays an unique role in stabilizing the interaction of UvrB with DNA damage, most likely by a hydrophobic stacking.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/04/13/ VL - 43 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 4366 EP - 4374 SN - 00062960 AB - High-resolution crystal structures obtained in two conformations of the Ca-ATPase suggest that a large-scale rigid-body domain reorientation of approximately 50° involving the nucleotide-binding (N) domain is required to permit the transfer of the γ-phosphoryl group of ATP to Asp351 in the phosphorylation (P) domain during coupled calcium transport. However, variability observed in the orientations of the N domain relative to the P domain in the different crystal structures of the Ca-ATPase following calcium activation and the structures of other P-type ATPases suggests the presence of conformational heterogeneity in solution, which may be modulated by contact interactions within the crystal. Therefore, to address the extent of conformational heterogeneity between these domains in solution, we have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer to measure the spatial separation and conformational heterogeneity between donor (i.e., 5- [[2- [(iodoacetyl)amino]ethyl]amino]naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid) and acceptor (i.e., fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate) chromophores covalently bound to the P and N domains, respectively, within the Ca-ATPase stabilized in different enzymatic states associated with the transport cycle. In comparison to the unliganded enzyme, the spatial separation and conformational heterogeneity between these domains are unaffected by enzyme phosphorylation. However, calcium activation results in a 3.4 Å increase in the average spatial separation, from 29.4 to 32.8 Å, in good agreement with the 4.3 Å increase in the distance estimated from high-resolution structures where these sites are respectively separated by 31.6 Å (1IWO.pdb) and 35.9 Å (1 EUL.pdb). Thus, the crystal structures accurately reflect the average solution structures of the Ca-ATPase.

The normalized change in resistivity is compared for a specimen that was either self-irradiated (from Pu α-decay and the associated uranium-recoil) or 3.8 MeV proton-irradiated with a Pelletron electrostatic accelerator. Modeling of the annealing data through combined molecular dynamics (MD) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) methods describes the defect populations as a function of irradiation type and annealing temperature. It is observed that interstitial clustering is extant for the self-irradiation, but that the corresponding vacancies from the uranium damage cascade appear to be more point defect-like, as exhibited by their subsequent annealing behavior and comparison with the experimental annealing properties from the proton-irradiation. We also report the temperature dependence of the resistance of defects resulting from low-temperature damage accumulation and subsequent annealing at three temperatures: 30, 150, and 250 K. For the two defect populations dominated by vacancies and vacancy clusters (150 and 250 K), we observe a temperature-dependent defect population resistance of the form −a[ln(T)]+b suggestive of a Kondo impurity. A discussion of possible causes leading to this observation and their effects, as it might relate to the nature of the δ-phase of Pu, are presented.

The carbon nanotubes were solubilized through the established functionalization of the nanotube-bound carboxylic acids to allow solution-phase reaction and characterization. The deuterium attachment was found under several experimental conditions, including the use of deuterated ethanol as a co-reactant in the nanotube functionalization reaction and the refluxing of functionalized or simply purified carbon nanotubes in deuterated water and alcohols. The solubility of the functionalized carbon nanotube samples in common organic solvents and water allowed unambiguous ²H NMR characterization. The reproducible broad ²H NMR signal at ∼ 6.5 ppm is assigned to carbon nanotube-attached deuterium species. The assignment is supported by the results from FT-IR measurements. The carbon--deuterium interaction is so strong that the corresponding vibration resembles the typical C--D stretching mode in the characteristic frequency region. The FT-IR peak intensities also correlate well with the ²H NMR signal integrations in a series of samples. Mechanistic implications of the results are discussed.

CAII, through the Zn2+-bound hydroxide, catalyzes the deceptively simple reaction: CO2 + H2O ⇋ HCO3- + H+. The accepted mechanism for CAII would predict that water would be bound to the Zn2+ at pH 5 and hydroxide would be bound at pH 8.5. The measured values for the electric field gradient (EFG) or quadrupole coupling constant (Cq) for CAII are independent of pH within the limits of the experimental error, i.e., 9.8 ± 0.2 MHz. The EFG interaction has been predicted by ab initio electronic structure calculations for water and hydroxide bound to the zinc, including various levels of hydrogen bonding. After comparing the predicted Cq's with the experimental values, we conclude that the species present from pH 5-8.5 is the hydroxide form. The NMR data presented here is not consistent with the accepted mechanism for CAII. We show that the NMR data is consistent with an alternative mechanism of CAII.

Goals of ALTEA-MICE are: (1) to investigate the effects of heavy ions on the visual system of normal and mutant mice with retinal defects; (2) to define reliable experimental conditions for space research; and (3) to develop animal models to study the physiological consequences of space travels on humans. Remotely controlled mouse setup, applied electrophysiological recording methods, remote particle monitoring, and experimental procedures were developed and tested. The project has proved feasible under laboratory-controlled conditions comparable in important aspects to those of astronauts'' exposure to particle in space. Experiments are performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratories [BNL] (Upton, NY, USA) and the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH [GSI]/Biophysik (Darmstadt, FRG) to identify possible electrophysiological changes and/or activation of protective mechanisms in response to pulsed radiation. Offline data analyses are in progress and observations are still anecdotal. Electrophysiological changes after pulsed radiation are within the limits of spontaneous variability under anesthesia, with only indirect evidence of possible retinal/cortical responses. Immunostaining showed changes (e.g increased expression of FGF2 protein in the outer nuclear layer) suggesting a retinal stress reaction to high-energy particles of potential relevance in space.

Second, seeding with integrated high-harmonic generation laser technology will generate photon beams with high longitudinal coherence and “transform-limited” pulses.

The source produces x-ray pulses with duration of 10–50 fs at a 10 kHz repetition rate, with tunability from EUV to hard x-ray regimes, and optimized for the study of ultra-fast dynamics. A high-brightness rf photocathode provides electron bunches. An injector linac accelerates the beam to the 100 MeV range, and is followed by four passes through a 700 MeV recirculating linac. Ultrafast hard x-ray pulses are obtained by a combination of electron bunch manipulation, transverse temporal correlation of the electrons, and x-ray pulse compression. EUV and soft x-ray pulses as short as 10 fs are generated in a harmonic-cascade free electron laser scheme. We describe the facility major systems and peformance. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/15/ VL - 705 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 137 EP - 140 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - We present the concepts for an electron storage ring dedicated to and optimized for the production of stable coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) over the far-infrared terahertz wavelength range from 200 μm to about one cm. CIRCE (Coherent InfraRed CEnter) will be a 66 m circumference ring located on top of the ALS booster synchrotron shielding tunnel and using the existing ALS injector. This location provides enough floor space for both the CIRCE ring, its required shielding, and numerous beamlines. We present the calculated CIRCE photon flux where a gain of 6 – 9 orders of magnitude is shown compared to existing far-IR sources. Additionally, the particular design of the dipole vacuum chamber has been optimized to allow an excellent transmission of these far-infrared wavelengths. We believe that the CIRCE source can be constructed for a modest cost. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The analysis includes distortion of bunch shape from the synchrotron radiation (SR), enhancing higher frequency coherent emission and limits to stable emission due to a microbunching instability excited by the SR. We use these concepts to optimize the performance of a source for CSR emission. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/15/ VL - 705 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 145 EP - 148 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The ALS, a third-generation synchrotron light source at Berkeley Lab, has been operating for almost a decade and is generating forefront science by exploiting the high brightness of a third-generation source in three areas: (1) high resolving power for spectroscopy; (2) high spatial resolution for microscopy and spectromicroscopy; and (3) high coherence for experiments such as speckle. However, the ALS was one of the first third-generation machines to be designed, and accelerator and insertion-device technology have significantly changed since its conception. As a result, its performance will inevitably be outstripped by newer, more advanced sources. To remain competitive and then set a new standard, the performance of the ALS, in particular its brightness, must be enhanced. Substantial improvements in brightness and current have always been feasible in principle, but they incur the penalty of a much reduced lifetime, which is totally unacceptable to our users. Significant brightness improvements can be realized in the core soft x-ray region by going to top-off operation, where injection would be quasi-continuous and the lifetime objections disappear. In top-off mode with higher average current, a reduced vertical emittance and beta function, and small-gap permanent-magnet or superconducting insertion devices, one to two orders of magnitude improvement in brightness can be had in the soft x-ray range. These improvements also extend the high energy range of the undulator radiation beyond the current limit of 2000 eV. Descriptions of the upgrade and the important new science achievable are presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The MGU is a hybrid design, consisting of NdFeB permanent magnets and vanadium permendur poles. The MGU period is 1.25 cm, the overall length is 35 cm, and the gap can be varied between 3.3 and 11 mm. The higher magnetic field provided by the hybrid design supercedes that of the previous X13 undulator device (IVUN), allowing for a greater tunability. Operating down to a magnetic gap of 3.3 mm, the on-axis magnetic field is 0.92 Tesla, corresponding to a deflection parameter K∼1.07. The performance of the MGU has been measured using a single crystal spectrometer. At a gap of 3.3 mm, the MGU’s fundamental energy was recorded at 3.7 keV with a brightness of 4×1017 ph/sec/mm2/mrad2/0.1%BW/300mA. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The SCHU consists of coils and iron poles/yokes. There is no magnetic structure in the horizontal plane of the electron orbit. The SCHU would provide the large horizontal aperture needed to allow injection into the storage ring.

In the storage ring there are 35 straight sections, each about five meters in length, for possible insertion devices. Most of the insertion devices at the APS are 2.4 meters long. Currently there are 27 undulators installed in 25 straight sections. Twenty-two of the undulators are the original design fabricated by STI Optronics, which used two motors, one for each end of the device. A synchronizing mechanism between the upper and lower magnetic arrays was also used at each end. Recently, the APS has designed a new gap-separation mechanism for all new undulators. The new design is based on four independent motors, one driving each end of each magnetic array of the device. The control system of choice at the APS is EPICS. The control system is designed to be transparent to the user of the beamline who routinely operates the device. The differences between the two-motor and the four-motor versions of the ID control system are performed at low levels and are transparent. All devices have feedback and safeguard redundancy in the form of linear and rotary encoders and multiple-stage limit switches. This paper will discuss in detail the design philosophy and the implementation of the four-motor insertion device control system. This control system has been in operation for about three years. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

With the expectation of a future higher storage ring beam current, a new front end is being designed to handle a maximum total power of 21 kW and a maximum peak power density of 590 kW/mrad2, which is about 3.8 times the heat load with current operation of a single undulator at 100 mA stored beam current. This new front end will allow the operation of two in-line 3.3-cm-period, 2.4-m-long undulators at k=2.76 with 180 mA, or alternatively, three in-line undulators at k=2.0 with 150 mA. In this paper, the overall front-end high-heat-load management plan is discussed and front-end layout and aperture design are presented. A new design concept is used in key components, such as photon shutters and fixed masks, to handle the high power density. The design, thermal analysis and fabrication of these components are presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/15/ VL - 705 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 454 EP - 457 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Bend magnet beamline 6.3.1 at the Advanced Light Source operates from 200 eV to 2000 eV, primarily used for x-ray absorption fine structure investigations. The beamline optics consist of a compact, entrance-slitless, Hettrick-Underwood type variable-line-spacing plane-grating monochromator and refocusing mirrors to provide a 25 μm × 500 μm spot at the focal point in the reflectometer end station. Wavelength is scanned by the simple rotation of the grating and illuminates a fixed exit slit. The LabView based beamline control and data acquisition computer code has been implemented to provide a convenient interface to the user. The dedicated end station is a reflectometer that is isolated from the beamline by a differential ion pump. The reflectometer can position samples to within 4 μm with an angular position of 0.002°, has total electron and fluorescence yield detectors, and pumps down in about 30 minutes. External end stations can be mounted downstream of the reflectometer as well. The versatility and simplicity of beamline 6.3.1 have made it useful for a wide range of applications such as the characterization of optical components, reflective coatings, and the investigation of a diverse range of materials in both the solid state and in solution. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

To accommodate this configuration, a new front end was designed that is capable of handling the power of two undulators, with a beam separation of 1 mrad and a stored beam current of 200 mA at 7 GeV. Commissioning of the first front end took place early this summer. The design and major benefits of the new front-end components will be discussed in this paper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

As part of the characterization instruments at CNM, we are developing a new hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline at the Advanced Photon Source. The beamline will provide microscopy and spectroscopy for photon energies from 3 keV to 30 keV. Hard x-ray zone plates will be used to achieve a spatial resolution of 30 nm in the 3 – 10 keV region. Two operational modes will combine the speed of a transmission x-ray microscope with the analytic capabilities of a hard x-ray microprobe. The major operation mode will be a scanning probe mode, where spatially coherent radiation is focused into a diffraction-limited spot to excite secondary signals in the specimen. This will allow elemental mapping and spectroscopy at high sensitivity using x-ray fluorescence, or strain contrast imaging using x-ray diffraction. A secondary mode will use partially coherent radiation to provide transmission imaging in absorption and phase contrast for photon energies between 3 – 10 keV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/15/ VL - 705 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 541 EP - 544 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The quality of infrared microscopy and spectroscopy data collected at synchrotron based sources is strongly dependent on signal-to-noise. We have successfully identified and suppressed several noise sources affecting Beamlines 1.4.2, 1.4.3, and 1.4.4 at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), resulting in a significant increase in the quality of FTIR spectra obtained. In this paper, we present our methods of noise source analysis, the negative effect of noise on the infrared beam quality, and the techniques used to reduce the noise. These include reducing the phase noise in the storage ring radio-frequency (RF) system, installing an active mirror feedback system, analyzing and changing physical mounts to better isolate portions of the beamline optics from low-frequency environmental noise, and modifying the input signals to the main ALS RF system. We also discuss the relationship between electron beam energy oscillations at a point of dispersion and infrared beamline noise. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A study of these materials at synchrotron radiation sources is challenging in order to minimize and systematically quantify exposure to the period of actual measurements. Since damage can occur on a scale of milliseconds there is a requirement for a beam shutter which can close and open in sub-millisecond times.

In order to facilitate the delivery of an intense, stable x-ray beam to crystallographic samples, new beam position stabilization software has been developed. Using the beam-position monitor developed by Alkire, Rosenbaum and Evans, the position of the beam is corrected in real time by applying changes to the monochromator tune using DC servomotors. Real-time monitoring tools were developed, in addition to the technique of selecting the reference trigger points. A user interface for feedback tuning has been developed in conjunction with real-time monitoring and interacting with data acquisition at the bending-magnet beamline (19BM) of the SBC. Preliminary results showed positional stability of the beam to better than 1 μrad in tune. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We need to know if there is actual thermal distortion on gratings resulting in the degradation of the monochromator resolution. We need to know the characteristics of the grating rotation. It is possible to make a simple but precise in-situ distortion monitoring and rotation angle test of the grating by use of a precise pencil beam angle monitor. We have made preliminary measurements on a monochrometer grating of an undulator beam line X1B at Brookhaven National Laboratory. We monitored a small amount of angle variation on the grating. We detected 1.7 μrad backlash (P-V) of the grating controlling system. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The thermal slope error of the crystal is calculated by finite element modeling. Quadratic law was applied to calculate the rocking-curve width. Heat load tests were also performed with a channel-cut silicon monochromator on beamline ID09 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). The silicon crystal is indirectly cooled from the sides by liquid nitrogen. Measured rocking-curve widths are compared with those calculated by finite element modeling. When we include the broadening from the intrinsic rocking-curve width and mounting strain, the calculated rocking-curve width versus heat load is in excellent agreement with experiment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The design incorporates the supports and gravity feed water cooling of two diamond or silicon crystals correctly positioned about a common rotation axis so that the incident and diffracted beam do not walk off the edges of the crystals within the energy range 6–15KeV (30° 13 MeV relative to the nominal 1.9 GeV beam energy. Femtosecond pulses are effectively isolated from the long-pulse background using the transverse dispersion of the storage ring in combination with an x-ray imaging optic and a pair of slits to achieve a signal/background ratio of ∼1. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Determination of nickel(II) as the nickel dimethylglyoxime complex using colorimetric solid phase extraction JO - Analytica Chimica Acta JF - Analytica Chimica Acta Y1 - 2004/04/15/ VL - 508 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 53 SN - 00032670 AB - Colorimetric solid phase extraction (C-SPE) is an analytical technique in which analytes in water samples are extracted onto a solid adsorbent matrix impregnated with a colorimetric reagent and then quantified directly on the adsorbent surface using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. This paper presents a further development in C-SPE. In this case, the reagent employed to detect the analyte is not impregnated on the extraction medium. Instead, the reagent is weakly immobilized on a solid support (i.e., filter paper) and released into the sample as it flows through the support. The reagent complexes the analyte in solution, forming a highly colored precipitate that is collected on the surface of an extraction membrane. The concentration of analyte is determined using the Kubelka–Munk function calculated from the diffuse reflectance spectrum of the precipitate on the membrane surface. This precipitation–spectrophotometric platform is extensively evaluated by determining nickel(II) using dimethylglyoxime (DMG) as the precipitating reagent. The ability to optimize reaction conditions with immobilized reagents by in-line buffering is also demonstrated. Specifically, borax buffer was utilized to adjust the pH of nickel(II) samples prepared in deionized water. This combination of immobilized buffer and reagent allows C-SPE to operate in a solid-phase mode in which all the reagents requisite for optimal analyte determination are immobilized on solid supports. Using this method, nickel(II) was determined in a single processing step over the concentration range 0.50–5.0 ppm in ∼40 s with 1.0 ml sample volumes.

Rapid and inexpensive fabrication of nanoporous microdialysis membranes in microchips is achieved using a phase separation polymerization technique with a shaped UV laser beam. By controlling the phase separation process, the molecular weight cutoffs of the membranes can be engineered for different applications. Counterflow dialysis is used to demonstrate extraction of low molecular weight analytes from a sample stream, using two different molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) membranes; the first one with MWCO below 5700 for desalting protein samples, and the second one with a higher MWCO for size-based fractionation of proteins. Modeling based on a simple control volume analysis on the microdialysis system is consistent with measured concentration profiles, indicating both that membrane properties are uniform, well-defined, and reproducible and that diffusion of subcutoff analytes through the membrane is rapid.

Combining this spectroscopic information with that from the recently published relatively low-resolution X-ray diffraction studies, we have succeeded in limiting the range of likely cluster arrangements. This evidence strongly supports several options proposed earlier by DeRose et al. [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116 (1994) 5239] and these can be further narrowed using compatibility with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data.

Recent unpublished results from the pulsed EPR laboratory at UC-Davis are discussed, along with aspects of recent publications, with a focus on substrate and cofactor interactions. New data on the proximity of exchangeable deuterons around the Mn cluster poised in the S0-state are presented and interpreted. These pulsed EPR results are used in an evaluation of several recently proposed mechanisms for PSII water oxidation. We strongly favor mechanistic models where the substrate waters bind within the OEC early in the S-state cycle. Models in which the O&z.sbnd;O bond is formed by a nucleophilic attack by a Ca2+-bound water on a strong S4-state electrophile provide a good match to the pulsed EPR data.

T1 - FTIR studies of internal proton transfer reactions linked to inter-heme electron transfer in bovine cytochrome c oxidase JO - BBA - Bioenergetics JF - BBA - Bioenergetics Y1 - 2004/04/15/ VL - 1655 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 321 SN - 00052728 AB - FTIR difference spectroscopy is used to reveal changes in the internal structure and amino acid protonation states of bovine cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) that occur upon photolysis of the CO adduct of the two-electron reduced (mixed valence, MV) and four-electron reduced (fully reduced, FR) forms of the enzyme. FTIR difference spectra were obtained in D2O (pH 6–9.3) between the MV-CO adduct (heme a3 and CuB reduced; heme a and CuA oxidized) and a photostationary state in which the MV-CO enzyme is photodissociated under constant illumination. In the photostationary state, part of the enzyme population has heme a3 oxidized and heme a reduced. In MV-CO, the frequency of the stretch mode of CO bound to ferrous heme a3 decreases from 1965.3 cm−1 at pH* ≤7 to 1963.7 cm−1 at pH* 9.3. In the CO adduct of the fully reduced enzyme (FR-CO), the CO stretching frequency is observed at 1963.46±0.05 cm−1, independent of pH. This indicates that in MV-CO there is a group proximal to heme a that deprotonates with a pKa of about 8.3, but that remains protonated over the entire pH* range 6–9.3 in FR-CO. The pKa of this group is therefore strongly coupled to the redox state of heme a. Following photodissociation of CO from heme a3 in MV oxidases, the extent of electron transfer from heme a3 to heme a shows a pH-dependent phase between pH 7 and 9, and a pH-independent phase at all pH''s. The FTIR difference spectrum resulting from photolysis of MV-CO exhibits vibrational features of the protein backbone and side chains associated with (1) the loss of CO by the a3 heme in the absence of electron transfer, (2) the pH-independent phase of the electron transfer, and (3) the pH-dependent phase of the electron transfer. Many infrared features change intensity or frequency during both electron transfer phases and thus appear as positive or negative features in the difference spectra. In particular, a negative band at 1735 cm−1 and a positive band at 1412 cm−1 are consistent with the deprotonation of the acidic residue E242. Positive features at 1552 and 1661 cm−1 are due to amide backbone modes. Other positive and negative features between 1600 and 1700 cm−1 are consistent with redox-induced shifts in heme formyl vibrations, and the redox-linked protonation of an arginine residue, accompanying electron transfer from heme a3 to heme a. An arginine could be the residue responsible for the pH-dependent shift in the carbonyl frequency of MV-CO. Specific possibilities as to the functional significance of these observations are discussed.

The first uses Monte Carlo simulation (MC) based on particles and the second uses the cell-dynamical-system method (CDS) based on fluid elements. Results are presented for symmetric and asymmetric AB diblock-copolymer melts (fA=0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 0.2) confined in a slit. Several microdomain morphologies are obtained. A lamella structure with alternate A- and B-rich layers appears for the symmetric case. Mesh-like, bi-continuous cylinder-like and dispersed sphere-like layers appear for asymmetric block copolymers with different compositions. Both methods of calculation give similar morphologies, indicating their mutual consistency. However, the calculation efficiency of CDS is remarkably higher, and it is therefore used to provide the pattern evolutions in time, the order-parameter distribution in real space, and the dynamic scattering function in Fourier space.

For optimal imaging of Gram-negative Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cells, we explored different methods of bacterial sample preparation, such as spreading the cells on poly-l-lysine coated surfaces or agarose gel coated surfaces. We have found that the agarose gel containing 99% ammonium acetate buffer can provide sufficient local aqueous environment for single bacterial cells. Furthermore, the cell surface topography can be characterized by tapping-mode in-air AFM imaging for the single bacterial cells that are partially embedded. Using in-air rather than under-water AFM imaging of the living cells significantly enhanced the contrast and signal-to-noise ratio of the AFM images. Near-field AFM-tip-enhanced fluorescence lifetime imaging (AFM–FLIM) holds high promise on obtaining fluorescence images beyond optical diffraction limited spatial resolution. We have previously demonstrated near-field AFM–FLIM imaging of polymer beads beyond diffraction limited spatial resolution. Here, as the first step of applying AFM–FLIM on imaging bacterial living cells, we demonstrated a correlated and consecutive AFM topographic imaging, fluorescence intensity imaging, and FLIM imaging of living bacterial cells to characterize cell polarity.

In the new version, all symmetries can be broken, which allows for calculations with angular frequency and angular momentum tilted with respect to the mass distribution. The new version contains an interface to the LAPACK subroutine ZHPEVX.: Program summaryTitle of the program: HFODD (v2.08i)Catalogue number: ADTOProgram obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen''s University of Belfast, N.

The compiler option -r8 or +autodblpad (or equivalent) has to be used to promote all real and complex single-precision floating-point items to double precision when the code is used on a 32-bit machine.Has the code been vectorised?: YesNo. of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 265352No. of lines in distributed program: 52656Distribution format: tar gzip fileNature of physical problem: The nuclear mean-field and an analysis of its symmetries in realistic cases are the main ingredients of a description of nuclear states. Within the Local Density Approximation, or for a zero-range velocity-dependent Skyrme interaction, the nuclear mean-field is local and velocity dependent. The locality allows for an effective and fast solution of the self-consistent Hartree–Fock equations, even for heavy nuclei, and for various nucleonic (n-particle n-hole) configurations, deformations, excitation energies, or angular momenta. Similar Local Density Approximation in the particle-particle channel, which is equivalent to using a zero-range interaction, allows for a simple implementation of pairing effects within the Hartree–Fock–Bogolyubov method.Method of solution: The program uses the Cartesian harmonic oscillator basis to expand single-particle or single-quasiparticle wave functions of neutrons and protons interacting by means of the Skyrme effective interaction and zero-range pairing interaction. The expansion coefficients are determined by the iterative diagonalization of the mean field Hamiltonians or Routhians which depend non-linearly on the local neutron and proton densities. Suitable constraints are used to obtain states corresponding to a given configuration, deformation or angular momentum. The method of solution has been presented in: J. Dobaczewski, J. Dudek, Comput. Phys. Commun. 102 (1997) 166.Summary of revisions:
  • Two insignificant errors have been corrected.
  • Breaking of all the three plane-reflection symmetries has been implemented.
  • Breaking of all the three time-reversal×plane-reflection symmetries has been implemented.
  • Conservation of parity with simultaneously broken simplex has been implemented.
  • Tilted-axis cranking has been implemented.
  • Cranking with isovector angular frequency has been implemented.
  • Quadratic constraint on tilted angular momentum has been added.
  • Constraint on the vector product of angular frequency and angular momentum has been added.
  • Calculation of surface multipole moments has been added.
  • Constraints on surface multipole moments have been added.
  • Calculation of magnetic moments has been added.
  • Calculation of multipole and surface multipole moments in the center-of-mass reference frame has been added.
  • Calculation of multipole, surface multipole, and magnetic moments in the principal-axes (intrinsic) reference frame has been added.
  • Calculation of angular momenta in the center-of-mass and principal-axes reference frames has been added.
  • New single-particle observables for a diabatic blocking have been added.
  • Solution of the Hartree–Fock–Bogolyubov equations has been implemented.
  • Non-standard spin-orbit energy density has been implemented.
  • Non-standard center-of-mass corrections have been implemented.
  • Definition of the time-odd terms through the Landau parameters has been implemented.
  • Definition of Skyrme forces taken from the literature now includes the force parameters as well as the value of the nucleon mass and the treatment of tensor, spin-orbit, and center-of-mass terms specific to the given force.
  • Interface to the LAPACK subroutine ZHPEVX has been implemented.
  • Computer memory management has been improved by implementing the memory-allocation features available within FORTRAN-90.
  • Restrictions on the complexity of the problem: The main restriction is the CPU time required for calculations of heavy deformed nuclei and for a given precision required. Pairing correlations are only included for even-even nuclei and conserved simplex symmetry.Typical running time: One Hartree–Fock iteration for the superdeformed, rotating, parity conserving state of 15266Dy86 takes about six seconds on the AMD-Athlon 1600+ processor. Starting from the Woods–Saxon wave functions, about fifty iterations are required to obtain the energy converged within the precision of about 0.1 keV. In case when every value of the angular velocity is converged separately, the complete superdeformed band with precisely determined dynamical moments J(2) can be obtained within forty minutes of CPU on the AMD-Athlon 1600+ processor. This time can be often reduced by a factor of three when a self-consistent solution for a given rotational frequency is used as a starting point for a neighboring rotational frequency.Unusual features of the program: The user must have an access to the NAGLIB subroutine F02AXE, or to the LAPACK subroutines ZHPEV or ZHPEVX, which diagonalize complex hermitian matrices, or provide another subroutine which can perform such a task. The LAPACK subroutines ZHPEV and ZHPEVX can be obtained from the Netlib Repository at University of Tennessee, Knoxville: http://netlib2.cs.utk.edu/cgi-bin/netlibfiles.pl?filename=/lapack/complex16/zhpev.f and http://netlib2.cs.utk.edu/cgi-bin/netlibfiles.pl?filename=/lapack/complex16/zhpevx.f respectively.

An aluminum film was highly corroded in 1 M LiTFSI (lithium trifluorosulfonimide (LiTFSI), LiN(SO2CF3)2)/EC+DMC electrolyte at 2–5 V versus Li/Li+ with the formation of large pits, while the corrosion was clearly suppressed by adding LiBF4 salt into the imide electrolyte. Depression of corrosion on adding LiBF4 was attributed to the formation of a stable passive layer on the surface of aluminum due to the reaction of aluminum with electrolyte and the decomposition of electrolyte solvent at high potentials. The resulting data may help clarify the corrosion mechanism of aluminum metal in imide electrolyte and give insight into enhancing the performance of lithium ion batteries.

The site contains an anoxic groundwater plume where soluble petroleum constituents serve as an energy source for a region of methanogenesis near the source and bacterial Fe(III) reduction further down gradient. Methanogenesis apparently begins when bioavailable Fe(III) is exhausted within the sediment. Past studies indicate that Geobacter species and Geothrix fermentens-like organisms are the primary dissimilatory Fe-reducing bacteria at this site. The Fe mineralogy of the pristine aquifer sediments and samples from the methanogenic (source) and Fe(III) reducing zones were characterized in this study to identify microbiologic changes to Fe valence and mineral distribution, and to identify whether new biogenic mineral phases had formed. Methods applied included X-ray diffraction; X-ray fluorescence (XRF); and chemical extraction; optical, transmission, and scanning electron microscopy; and Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy.All of the sediments were low in total Fe content (≈ 1%) and exhibited complex Fe-mineralogy. The bulk pristine sediment and its sand, silt, and clay-sized fractions were studied in detail. The pristine sediments contained Fe(II) and Fe(III) mineral phases. Ferrous iron represented approximately 50% of FeTOT. The relative Fe(II) concentration increased in the sand fraction, and its primary mineralogic residence was clinochlore with minor concentrations found as a ferroan calcite grain cement in carbonate lithic fragments. Fe(III) existed in silicates (epidote, clinochlore, muscovite) and Fe(III) oxides of detrital and authigenic origin. The detrital Fe(III) oxides included hematite and goethite in the form of mm-sized nodular concretions and smaller-sized dispersed crystallites, and euhedral magnetite grains. Authigenic Fe(III) oxides increased in concentration with decreasing particle size through the silt and clay fraction. Chemical extraction and Mo¨ssbauer analysis indicated that this was a ferrihydrite like-phase. Quantitative mineralogic and Fe(II/III) ratio comparisons between the pristine and contaminated sediments were not possible because of textural differences. However, comparisons between the texturally-similar source (where bioavailable Fe(III) had been exhausted) and Fe(III) reducing zone sediments (where bioavailable Fe(III) remained) indicated that dispersed detrital, crystalline Fe(III) oxides and a portion of the authigenic, poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide fraction had been depleted from the source zone sediment by microbiologic activity. Little or no effect of microbiologic activity was observed on silicate Fe(III). The presence of residual “ferrihydrite” in the most bioreduced, anoxic plume sediment (source) implied that a portion of the authigenic Fe(III) oxides were biologically inaccessible in weathered, lithic fragment interiors. Little evidence was found for the modern biogenesis of authigenic ferrous-containing mineral phases, perhaps with the exception of thin siderite or ferroan calcite surface precipitates on carbonate lithic fragments within source zone sediments.

Our objective was to evaluate the development of lateral subsurface flow and soil saturation at a semiarid ponderosa pine forest in New Mexico with respect to the conceptual model of saturation building above the soil–bedrock contact. At this site, we have long-term observations of the water budget components, including lateral flow. A 1·5 m deep by 7 m long trench was constructed to observe lateral subsurface flow and development of saturation directly. Our observations are based on flow resulting from a melting snowdrift. The edge of the drift was about 7 m upslope from the trench. Lateral subsurface flow only occurred from root macropores in the Bt soil horizon. Saturation developed and grew outward from flowing root macropores, rather than growing upward from the soil–bedrock interface. This macropore-centred saturation resulted in a highly heterogeneous distribution of water content until enough macropores began flowing and individual macropore saturated zones grew large enough to coalesce and saturate large volumes of the soil. Our observations are based on one snowmelt event and a relatively short hillslope flow path, and thus do not represent a full range of hydrologic conditions. Nevertheless, the observed behaviour did not conform to the traditional model of soil–bedrock control of saturation and lateral flow. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Kinetic energy release distributions (KERDs) upon dissociation of diamine-containing dimers are utilized along with Finite Heat Bath theory analysis to obtain relative proton affinities of monomeric species composing the dimer. When dissociation of a proton-bound dimer is not associated with reverse activation barrier our method provides reliable relative energetics and dynamics. Results are reported for 1,3-propanediamine–diisopropylamine, and 1,4-butanediamine–triethylamine dimers, for which the dynamics approach provided accurate values of relative proton affinities and relative reaction entropies. We also show two examples, for which a substantial reverse activation barrier is found using KER measurements. These examples point to potential problems with utilizing aromatic reference bases in combination with bidentate molecules for thermochemical determinations using the kinetic method.

Based on Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and nuclear reaction analysis channeling spectra, the damage accumulation on both the Si and C sublattices have been determined, and a disorder accumulation model has been fit to the data. The model fits indicate that defect-stimulated amorphization is the primary amorphization mechanism in SiC over the temperature range investigated. The temperature dependence of the cross section for defect-stimulated amorphization and the critical dose for amorphization indicate that two different dynamic recovery processes are present, which are attributed to short-range recombination and long-range migration of point defects below and above room temperature, respectively. As the irradiation temperature approaches the critical temperature for amorphization, cluster formation has an increasing effect on disorder accumulation, and ion flux plays an important role on the nature and evolution of disorder. Dislocation loops, which are mostly formed under high ion flux, act as sinks for point defects, thereby reducing the disorder accumulation rate. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This effect is larger than previous reports of segregation to single-crystal Si1-xGex and increases with carbon concentration. Segregation also occurs in polycrystalline Si1-yCy, revealing that carbon by itself can drive the segregation (without germanium present). This segregation is used to model the enhanced threshold voltage stability of p-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors with boron-doped polycrystalline Si1-x-yGexCy gates. We also study the electrical properties of polycrystalline Si1-x-yGexCy. For low carbon concentrations (0.4%), polycrystalline Si1-x-yGexCy has a similar level of dopant activation and mobility as polycrystalline Si1-xGex; increasing the concentration to 1.6% results in significant losses in both. Annealing the films for time scales similar to those needed for segregation causes no degradation of the electrical properties, indicating that electrically inactive defects are not driving the segregation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

To address poorly understood aspects of behavior, including dynamic strength and the possibility of phase transformations, a series of plate impact experiments was performed that also included reshock and release configurations. Hugoniot data were obtained from the elastic limit (15–18 GPa) to 70 GPa and were found to agree reasonably well with the somewhat limited data in the literature. Using the Hugoniot data, as well as the reshock and release data, the possibility of the existence of one or more phase transitions was examined. There is tantalizing evidence, but at this time no phase transition can be conclusively demonstrated. However, the experimental data are consistent with a phase transition at a shock stress of about 40 GPa, though the volume change associated with it would have to be small. The reshock and release experiments also provide estimates of the shear stress and strength in the shocked state as well as a dynamic mean stress curve for the material. The material supports only a small shear stress in the shocked (Hugoniot) state, but it can support a much larger shear stress when loaded or unloaded from the shocked state. This strength in the shocked state is initially lower than the strength at the elastic limit but increases with pressure to about the same level. Also, the dynamic mean–stress curve estimated from reshock and release differs significantly from the hydrostate constructed from low-pressure data. Finally, a spatially resolved interferometer was used to directly measure spatial variations in particle velocity during the shock event. These spatially resolved measurements are consistent with previous work and suggest a nonuniform failure mode occurring in the material. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The internal contribution arising from the energy to reorganize donor/acceptor bonds can be evaluated by the “direct” and “4-point” methods. We examine how spatial separation leading to the noninteracting character of the donor and acceptor affects the reorganization energy. We show that the direct method captures contributions from interaction of the donor and acceptor while the 4-point method does not, and the two methods converge at large separation. Comparing reorganization energies determined by the two methods yields a measure of the degree of interaction between the initial and final states. The analysis is illustrated in the characterization of small polarons in iron oxides. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The classical intermolecular interaction potential for TATB is based on single-point energies determined from high-level ab initio calculations of TATB dimers. The newly developed potential function is used to examine bulk crystalline TATB via molecular dynamics simulations. The isobaric thermal expansion and isothermal compression under hydrostatic pressures obtained from the molecular dynamics simulations are in good agreement with experiment. The calculated volume-temperature expansion is almost one dimensional along the c crystallographic axis, whereas under compression, all three unit cell axes participate, albeit unequally. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The surface density and the orientation of the isopropyl head group of the adsorbed leucine molecules could be deduced from the measurements. It was found that the orientation depends on the surface density, but only weakly on bulk pH value at the saturated surface density. The vibrational spectra of the interfacial water molecules appeared to be strongly affected by the charge state of the adsorbed leucine molecules. Enhancement and inversion of polar orientation of interfacial water molecules by surface charges or field controllable by the bulk pH value were observed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The chromatographic separation also provides information on the analytes, such as peptides in enzymatic digests of proteins; information that can be used when identifying the proteins by peptide mass fingerprinting. This paper discusses a recently introduced method based on retention time prediction to extract information from chromatographic separations and the applications of this method to protein identification in organisms with small and large genomes.

The molecules were designed with ether linkages to permit facile syntheses of both sets of molecules. Solvent foaming studies were used to rapidly assess the surface-active properties of the surfactants, while dynamic light scattering provided quantitative critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and hydrodynamic radius (Rh) measurements of the aggregates in solution. The single-tailed surfactants did not produce any foaming action in a number of hydrocarbon solvents, nor was any micellar formation observed up to 100 mM concentrations. Double-tailed surfactants, on the other hand, gave low CMC values in dodecane but with Rh values that indicated a tight micelle structure. Bilayer formation was expected but not observed for these molecules, which is believed to be due to their unusual structural geometry, imparted by the glycerol backbone. No thermotropic liquid crystalline (LC) behavior was observed for any of the single- or double-tailed molecules. These data contrast with the known behavior of perfluorinated alkanes and other fluorinated surfactants, suggesting that the ether linkage plays an important role in the self-organizing behavior of these molecules.

The combined stresses were generated using a hollow cylindrical specimen that was subjected to axial compression and torsion. For both glass- and carbon-fiber composites, through-thickness compression resulted in a significant enhancement in the interlaminar shear stress and strain at failure. Under moderate compression levels, the failure mode changed from elastic to plastic. An attempt was made to predict the observed increase in shear strength for carbon fiber-epoxy laminates using three-dimensional lamina failure criteria. Although all the failure theories correctly predicted the trend of increasing shear strength with compression, none were able to predict the full extent of the observed strength increase. These results indicate that improved models are needed for determining failure under a combined state of interlaminar stress. The experimental results demonstrate that there are significant gains to be made in improving interlaminar strengths of composite structures by applying through-thickness compression. This effect could be exploited for improved strength and possibly improved fatigue life of composite joints and other regions in structures where interlaminar stress states are critical.

These electrodes were characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry; redox probes examined were potassium ferricyanide, tris-(2,2-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) chloride, hydroquinone, and para-aminophenol (PAP). Each type of hybrid was evaluated and compared with other hybrids, as well as with bare ITO electrodes and commercially available Au, Pt, and glassy carbon disk electrodes. Our results indicate that these hybrid electrodes are reasonably robust, easy to prepare, and extend the capabilities of bare ITO surfaces with respect to the electrochemical response (especially for organic redox probes), while giving up little in the way of optical transparency. Because of these characteristics, hybrid electrodes should be especially suited to many spectroelectrochemical applications.

In this paper, Part II, we introduce two methods for the numerical computation of the demagnetization tensor field. One method uses a Fourier space representation of the particle shape, the other starts from the real space representation. The accuracy of the methods is compared to theoretical results for the demagnetization tensor of the uniformly magnetized cylinder with arbitrary aspect ratio. Example computations are presented for the hexagonal plate, the truncated paraboloid, and a so-called “Pac-Man” shape, recently designed for MRAM applications. Finally, the magnetostatic self-energy of a uniformly magnetized regular polygonal disk of arbitrary order is analyzed. A linear relation is found between the order of the polygon and the critical aspect ratio for in-plane vs. axial magnetization states.

The onset of recoil hysteresis, or attainment of appreciable area of the recoil loop, was determined and followed as a function of the reverse applied magnetic field. Its behavior was correlated with that of two other independent parameters: the reversible portion of the recoil susceptibility and the recoil remanence, which both provide information on the ease of remagnetization of the materials. The simultaneous appearance of extrema in a restricted internal field range in all three parameters strongly suggests that the area of the recoil loops in these materials may be taken as a measure of the extent of the intergranular exchange. The temperature dependence of the results provides information about the thermal evolution of the interphase exchange coupling; this information is not evident in major loop measurements. Preliminary results indicate that the off-stoichiometric Nd9Fe86B5 maintains a higher degree of interphase exchange coupling but only at low reverse fields; the stoichiometric Nd2Fe14B maintains a lower degree of magnetic reversibility but sustains it to higher reverse fields. Comparison of the results obtained from different forms of the Nd2Fe14B-based nanocrystalline alloys highlights the origins of the differences in their technical magnetic behavior and suggests structural modification pathways to improve their properties.

The key issue for these materials is to understand the limits between their physical properties (transport, magnetism, mechanical, etc.) and their chemical–physical structure. In principle, a detailed knowledge of the chemical and physical structures allows calculation of their physical properties. Theoretical and computational methods are rapidly evolving so that magnetic properties of nanostructured materials might soon be predicted. Success in this endeavor requires detailed quantitative understanding of magnetic structure at the microscopic level. Neutron scattering is a well-developed technique that can determine magnetic structure at the atomic length scale in samples of ever diminishing size. This has opened up the use of neutron scattering to nanostructured materials prepared by thin film and lithographic techniques. Many interesting and unexpected results have emerged from the application of elastic neutron scattering to nanostructured magnetic thin films such as superlattices and multilayers. These include, distinguishing between magnetic and chemical boundaries, observing the spatial dependence of the magnetization vector in nonuniform materials, unusual coupling mechanisms across nonmagnetic materials, unexpected magnetic phase diagrams, etc. Extension of elastic neutron scattering to nanostructured arrays and three-dimensional magnetic composites will allow future determination of magnetic structure with unprecedented resolution. In this review, we discuss the impact of neutron scattering to the study of magnetic nanostructures, i.e., magnetic materials that are artificially structured at nanometer length scales, such as magnetic thin films, multilayers and nanodot arrays. The basic interactions and different length scales relevant to these systems as well as the basic issues and phenomena of interest are briefly reviewed. We discuss examples where the techniques of magnetic neutron diffraction, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, grazing incidence diffraction and diffuse scattering have helped to elucidate some of these phenomena. We also discuss potentially fruitful future applications of such techniques to the field of nanomagnetism. Furthermore, we argue that the development of inelastic neutron scattering techniques useful for the study of small volumes of material would raise neutron scattering to a much higher level of applicability for nanostructured magnetic materials.

Experimental evidence points to guanine as having the highest affinity of all the DNA bases for undergoing damage. However, radiation-induced damage to other bases may also have important health effects, and therefore the reactions of other DNA bases are also of interest. To this end, numerous studies have been performed on thymine to elucidate its role in the initial phases of DNA damage. To date, the theoretical studies on this topic have only dealt with reaction energetics in the gas phase or within a continuum solvent model. We present a detailed Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics study of DNA bases in explicit water interacting with an OH radical. Our findings indicate that the specific mechanisms of the initial phase of DNA damage are different in thymine and guanine, which is consistent with experiment-based conjectures on this subject. We also compare the effects of different exchange and correlation functionals on the proposed reaction energetics as well as a comparison with traditional quantum chemistry methods. Our deduced mechanisms are consistent with the experimentally observed products.

(The SQI approximation presented originally was applicable only with two DSs.) As with all versions of the QI approach, the rate is expressed wholly in terms of the (quantum) Boltzmann operator (which, for complex systems, can be evaluated by Monte Carlo path integral methods). Test calculations on some simple model problems show the SQI1 model to be slightly less accurate than the original version of the QI approach, but it is the easiest version to implement; it requires only a constrained free-energy calculation, location of the (transition-state) DS so as to maximize this free energy, and the curvature (second derivative) of the free energy at this maximum.

First, an SCF calculation is performed in a small subset of the full set of basis functions. The density matrix in this small basis is used to construct the effective Hamiltonian operator in the large basis, from which a correction for basis set extension is obtained for the energy. This correction is equivalent to a single Roothaan step (diagonalization) in the large basis. We present second order nonlinear equations that permit this step to be obtained without explicit diagonalization. Numerical tests on part of the Gaussian-2 dataset, using the B3LYP density functional, show that large-basis results can be accurately approximated with this procedure, subject to some limitations on the smallness of the small basis. Computational savings are approximately an order of magnitude relative to a self-consistent DFT calculation in the large basis.

Through these studies, we confirmed that Mn ions were dissolved from the spinel cathode in the electrolyte and were subsequently reduced on the lithiated graphite electrode surface, due to the chemical activity of the lithiated graphite, and caused a huge increase in the charge-transfer impedance at the graphite/electrolyte interface, which consequently deteriorated cell performance. To overcome the significant degradation of the spinel/graphite Li-ion cells, we investigated a new electrolyte system using lithium bisoxalatoborate (LiBoB, LiB(C2O4)2) salt not having fluorine species in its chemical structure. Superior cycling performance at elevated temperature was observed with the spinel/graphite cells using LiBoB-based electrolyte, which is attributed to the inert chemical structure of LiBoB that does not generate HF. Mn-ion leaching experiments showed that almost no Mn ions were dissolved from the spinel powder after 55 °C storage for 4 weeks. Through optimization of organic solvents for the LiBoB salt, we developed an advanced Li-ion cell chemistry that used lithium manganese oxide spinel, 0.7 M LiBoB/EC:PC:DMC (1:1:3), and graphite as the cathode, electrolyte, and anode, respectively. This cell provides excellent power characteristics, good calendar life, and improved thermal safety for hybrid electric vehicle applications.

This means that these elastic constants decrease with decreasing T. The anisotropy factor A=C44/C′ is relatively small (≅2.2) over all the temperature range and slightly increases with decreasing temperature down to the transition start-temperature Ms. Thus, its temperature coefficient ∂A/∂T has opposite sign of that exhibited by the binary Ni50.8Ti49.2 alloy prior to the B2→B19′ transition. The present results support the view recently expressed by some authors that the B2→B19′ transition occurring in binary Ni–Ti alloys is a consequence of concomitant lattice instabilities against {1 1 0}〈1 1¯ 0〉B2 and {0 0 1}〈 1 1¯ 0〉B2 shear strains respectively corresponding to the C′ and C44 ultrasonic propagation modes.

Prediction is usually based on nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of cracks. NDE often reveals two neighboring cracks. If the cracks interact, the tube pressure under which the ligament between the two cracks fails could be much lower than the critical burst pressure of an individual equivalent crack. The ability to accurately predict the ligament failure pressure, called “coalescence pressure,” is important. The failure criterion was established by nonlinear finite element model (FEM) analyses of coalescence of two 100% through-wall collinear cracks. The ligament failure is precipitated by local instability of the ligament under plane strain conditions. As a result of this local instability, the ligament thickness in the radial direction decreases abruptly with pressure. Good correlation of FEM analysis results with experimental data obtained at Argonne National Laboratory’s Energy Technology Division demonstrated that nonlinear FEM analyses are capable of predicting the coalescence pressure accurately for 100% through-wall cracks. This failure criterion and FEA work have been extended to axial cracks of varying ligament width, crack length, and cases where cracks are offset by axial or circumferential ligaments.

Analysis of the dynamic behavior of the ADTF has been carried out in the frame of a bilateral collaboration between the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). In the present study five different system configurations with various types of fuel and different types of coolant have been taken into consideration.In the systems with sodium as coolant, the transient behavior under the unprotected loss-of-flow scenario shows the most serious safety concern. As long as the external source is switched on, loss-of-flow will lead to an overheating of coolant, cladding and fuel. Boiling of coolant, cladding failure and molten fuel injection take place just in several seconds after the coast-down of the pump. Safety measures have to be designed for switching off the proton beam.In the system with liquid lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) as coolant, the buoyancy effect is much stronger. Due to its high boiling point, coolant boiling and, subsequently, flow oscillation in fuel assemblies can be avoided. By a proper design of the heat removal system, the buoyancy-driven convection would provide a sufficiently high cooling capability of the reactor core, to keep the integrity of the fuel pins.

In these systems, the desired illumination divergence is synthesized through a scanning process. This method has recently been used at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths to implement a programmable pupil fill microfield exposure system employed to lithographically characterize a 0.1-numerical aperture (NA) α-class EUV stepper optic. The specifics of the implementation used in that case, however, make it difficult to directly extend the implementation to higher NA optics. Here we present scanning illuminator configurations suitable for implementing high-NA lithography capabilities at a synchrotron beamline. In particular we consider the application to a 0.3-NA EUV optic with a design field of view of 1 × 3 mm at the object plane.

Stress in the upper layer is in-plane tensional and stress in the lower layer is down-dip compressional. The modeled stress field agrees with observations of stress in the Tonga double seismic zone. High shear stress also exists in the slab at depths below the metastable wedge. This stress distribution involves down-dip compression and trench-parallel tension, which agrees with about half of the focal mechanisms in the Tonga slab at depths of 460–690 km. The model supports the idea that at least two possible stress release mechanisms for deep earthquakes may act in the Tonga subducting slab. One, transformational faulting, is restricted to the metastable wedge while the other one acts below the metastable wedge.

Adsorption experiments conducted with Hanford formation sediment and groundwater spiked with dissolved 125I (as an analog tracer for 129I) indicated that iodide adsorption was very low (0.2 mL/g) at pH 7.5 and could be represented by a linear isotherm up to a total concentration of 100 mg/L dissolved iodide. The results of desorption experiments revealed that up to 60% of adsorbed iodide was readily desorbed after 14 days by iodide-free groundwater. Because iodide adsorption was considered to be partially reversible, even though small amount of initial iodide is retarded by adsorption at mineral–water interfaces, the weak adsorption affinity results in release of iodide when iodide-free pore waters and uncontaminated groundwaters contact the contaminated sediments in the vadose zone and aquifer systems.

Our motivation for studying this setting is provided by reacting flows problems for which small time steps are necessary in the integration process. We show that for algorithms defined through a process wherein spatial and temporal discretizations are separated, the coupling of implicit time integration with spatial inf–sup stabilization may lead to anomalous pressure behavior, including the onset of spurious oscillations, for very small time steps. Effectively, this coupling introduces a stability criterion resulting in a dependence between the spatial grid size and the time step. We illustrate our theoretical results by numerical examples that demonstrate the stability criterion.

Isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IBD) is involved in the catabolism of valine and catalyzes the conversion of isobutyryl-CoA to methacrylyl-CoA. The crystal structure of IBD with and without substrate has been determined to 1.76-Å resolution. The asymmetric unit contains a homotetramer with substrate/product bound in two monomers. The overall structure of IBD is similar to those of previously determined acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and consists of an NH2-terminal α-helical domain, a medial β-strand domain and a C-terminal α-helical domain. The enzyme-bound ligand has been modeled in as the reaction product, methacrylyl-CoA. The location of Glu376 with respect to the C-2-C-3 of the bound product and FAD confirms Glu-376 to be the catalytic base. IBD has a shorter and wider substrate-binding cavity relative to short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, permitting the optimal binding of the isobutyryl-CoA substrate. The dramatic lateral expansion of the binding cavity seen in isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase is not observed in IBD. The conserved tyrosine or phenylalanine that defines a side of the binding cavity in other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases is replaced by a leucine (Leu-375) in the current structure. Substrate binding changes the position of some residues lining the binding pocket as well as the position of the loop containing the catalytic glutamate and subsequent helix. Three clinical mutations have been modeled to the structure. The mutations do not affect substrate binding but instead appear to disrupt protein folding and/or stability.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/04/16/ VL - 279 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 16670 EP - 16676 SN - 00219258 AB - ARID (AT-rich interaction domain) is a homologous family of DNA-binding domains that occur in DNA-binding proteins from a wide variety of species, ranging from yeast to nematodes, insects, mammals, and plants. SWI1, a member of the SWI/SNF protein complex that is involved in chromatin remodeling during transcription, contains the ARID motif. The ARID domain of human SWI1 (also known as p270) does not select for a specific DNA sequence from a random sequence pool. The lack of sequence specificity shown by the SWI1 ARID domain stands in contrast to the other characterized ARID domains, which recognize specific AT-rich sequences. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of human SWI1 ARID using solution NMR methods. In addition, we have characterized nonspecific DNA binding by the SWI1 ARID domain. Results from this study indicate that a flexible, long, internal loop in the ARID motif is likely to be important for sequence-specific DNA recognition. The structure of the human SWI1 ARID domain also represents a distinct structural subfamily. Studies of ARID indicate that the boundary of DNA binding structural and functional domains can extend beyond the sequence homologous region in a homologous family of proteins. Structural studies of homologous domains such as the ARID family of DNA-binding domains should provide information to better predict the boundary of structural and functional domains in structural genomic studies.

Control and "in-patch" measurements documented a greater than fourfold enhancement of carbon biomass in the iron-amended waters. Carbon export through 100 m increased two- to sixfold as the patch subducted below a front. The molar ratio of iron added to carbon exported ranged between 10[sup4] and 10[sup5]. The biomass buildup and export were much higher than expected for iron-amended low-silicate waters.

The out-of-plane magnetization in the nanometerscale vortex core induces a three-dimensional handedness in the planar magnetic structure, leading to a precessional motion of the core parallel to a subnanosecond field pulse. The core velocity was an order of magnitude higher than expected from the static susceptibility. These results demonstrate that handedness, already well known to be important in biological systems, plays an important role in the dynamics of microscopic magnets.

Incomplete pole figures were extracted from diffraction spectra to determine the orientation distribution function and recalculate complete pole figures in situ at various temperatures. The texture analysis reveals that the orientation of grains in the new high-temperature (bcc) phase is related to the texture of the low-temperature (hcp) phase by Burgers relation, but with both an orientation selection and a symmetry variant selection. The cubic transformation texture is best explained if we assume preferential nucleation of the bcc phase in the hcp grain orientations that are most subject to mechanical twinning. After cooling, the new hcp texture closely resembles the original texture. Thermal cycling repeats this process with slight strengthening of the texture. The hexagonal transformation texture (after cooling) may be caused by nucleation and growth of untransformed domains or through variant selection by stresses imposed by neighboring grains.

The initial microstructure consists of a 25-grain polycrystal with an average grain size of about 15 nm and a columnar grain shape. Prior to the onset of significant grain growth, the deformation proceeds via the mechanism of Coble creep accompanied by grain-boundary sliding. While grain growth is generally known to decrease the creep rate due to the increase of the average grain size, the results obtained in this study reveal an enhanced creep rate at the onset of the grain growth, when rapid grain-boundary migration occurs. The enhanced creep rate is shown to arise from topological changes during the initial growth phases, which enhance both the stress-induced grain-boundary diffusive fluxes and grain-boundary sliding. Dislocations generated as a result of grain-rotation-induced grain coalescence and grain-boundary decomposition in the vicinity of certain triple junctions also contribute to the deformation.

Anomalous temperature dependences were observed just below the phase-transformation temperature: C11 and C66 increase with increasing temperature whereas C33 and C44 remarkably decrease, for example. To determine the Cij, we used the free-vibration resonance frequencies obtained by electromagnetic acoustic resonance. After the phase transformation, the resonance frequencies changed little with the temperature increase, showing that the bcc-phase elastic constants change little with temperature. The polycrystalline elastic constants remained unchanged up to 1300 K after the phase transformation. The anomalous temperature dependence near the transformation is interpreted in terms of the small c/a ratio of the hcp phase and change of the atomic distances to meet the Burgers lattice relationship. Temperature-insensitive elastic constants in the bcc phase suggest the stabilizing of the bcc phase with increasing temperature.

An almost linear dependence of the electron temperature on the plasma potential was observed in the acceleration region of the thruster both inside and outside the thruster. This result calls into question whether secondary electron emission from the ceramic channel walls plays a significant role in electron energy balance. The proportionality factor between the axial electron temperature gradient and the electric field is also significantly smaller than might be expected by fluid models. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Subsequently X-ray pulses with a duration of 100 ps were used as a probe. Time-resolved X-ray diffraction enables monitoring of the transitions between the paraelectric and ferroelectric phases. By recording the intensity of a peak only present in the paraelectric phase, we observe indications of a phase-transition following laser-irradiation of DKDP in the ferroelectric phase. We have estimated the laser heating effect, by measuring the strain (peak shifts) in the diffraction patterns. Furthermore, the orientation of the ferroelectric domains has been observed. In spite of the fact that the temperature did not rise above the Curie temperature, following interaction with this radiation, the polarization of ferroelectric domains was modified. This indicates a mechanism where short pulses impulsively excite phonons, which enable either reversal of entire domains, the shift of domain walls and/or the broadening of the domain wall widths.

Here, core-level photoemission spectroscopy is extended to the picosecond time domain to probe local expansion dynamics and associated transient chemical properties as a highly pressurized, metallic fluid expands into vacuum following impulsive heating of a semiconductor by an intense, ultrashort laser pulse. These experiments probe constituents species and solidification kinetics occurring in the early moments of material ejection and provide insight into how particles arise in the current laser ablation regime. Photoemission peak shifts reveal rapid metal–insulator phase transitions and support a view of fragmentation over vapor-condensation as the relevant mechanism determining the initial size-distribution of particles.

The transient optical absorption measurements indicate a strong solvent dependency of the triplet excited state lifetime due to the presence of oxygen-containing solvent molecules. While the ground state CuOEP molecules remain square-planar in both solvents, the attenuation of a peak attributed to the 1s 4pz transition at the Cu K-edge for the laser excited CuOEP in the THF/toluene mixture revealed the penta-coordinated exciplex formation which is responsible for the shortening of the triplet excited state lifetime. Meanwhile, the average Cu–N distance in the triplet excited state is lengthened by 0.03 A˚ due to ligation with a THF solvent molecule, which agrees with a domed coordination structure for copper in the penta-coordinated exciplex.

In the central rapidity region at RHIC, for the charm quark yield we expect Ncoll (number of collisions) scaling in the absence of final-state effects. At higher energies, or forward rapidities at RHIC, the saturation scale exceeds the charm quark mass; we find that this results in the approximate Npart (number of participants) scaling of charm production in AA collisions and √ of NpartA scaling in p(d)A collisions, similarly to the production of high-pT gluons discussed earlier. We also show that the saturation phenomenon makes spectra harder as compared to the naive parton model approach. We then discuss the energy loss of charm quarks in hot and cold media and argue that the hardness of the spectrum implies very slow dependence of the quenching factor on pT.

The standard approach on the superspace of 3-geometries treats the constraints as the sole carriers of the dynamic content of the theory, thus rendering the traditional dynamical equations obsolete. Quantization of the constraints in both the Dirac and ADM square root Hamiltonian approaches leads to the well known problems of time evolution. These problems of time are of both an interpretational and technical nature. In contrast, the geometrodynamic quantization procedure on the superspace of the true dynamical variables separates the issues of quantization from the enforcement of the constraints. The resulting theory takes into account states that are off-shell with respect to the constraints, and thus avoids the problems of time. We develop, for the first time, the geometrodynamic quantization formalism in a general setting and show that it retains all essential features previously illustrated in the context of homogeneous cosmologies.

A small increase of the WF observed at temperatures above 120 K is an indication of a spontaneous formation of H− ions at the surface, subsequently dissociating to electrons and neutral atoms which completely desorb at temperatures above 400 K. A large lowering of the WF at low temperatures (about 2 eV at 78 K) is associated with the formation of PdH. This process is treated quantitatively in the frame-work of the metallic plasma model. The mechanism of the isotope effect on the lowering of the WF is explained by the vibrational frequency difference of H and D atoms confined in the palladium lattice.

We develop an atomistic model with the goal of describing evolution of the complex far-from-equilibrium surface morphology for a range of temperatures above and into the transition regime under conditions where etching dominates oxidation. Model development is guided by experimental observations, by general concepts from nucleation theory for the formation of etch pits and oxide islands, and by input from ab-initio quantum chemistry calculations for key aspects of the oxygen adsorption and SiO desorption energetics.

The analysis of the low-energy absorption band suggests that the charge transfer from the edged gold atoms to the vertex ones plays the key role in nonlinear optical (NLO) response of Au20.

The infrared laser excited rovibrational transitions, and delayed ultraviolet pulses probed electronic transitions from either the directly pumped or collisionally populated states. Alignment and orientation relaxation times were measured for individual rotational levels in OH X2Π3/2(v=1), and the feasibility of time-domain investigation of state-to-state energy transfer processes was demonstrated.

While it is now generally accepted that INH is a pro-drug that is activated by the catalase peroxidase KatG, the specifics of this activation process have to date proven to be elusive, and further study is necessary for rational drug design of antibiotics to combat TB.

T1 - Improved approximations to scaling relationships for species, populations, and ecosystems across latitudinal and elevational gradients JO - Journal of Theoretical Biology JF - Journal of Theoretical Biology Y1 - 2004/04/21/ VL - 227 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 525 SN - 00225193 AB - Historically, allometric equations relate organismal traits, such as metabolic rate, individual growth rate, and lifespan, to body mass. Similarly, Boltzmann or Q10 factors are used to relate many organismal traits to body temperature. Allometric equations and Boltzmann factors are being applied increasingly to higher levels of biological organization in an attempt to describe aggregate properties of populations and ecosystems. They have been used previously for studies that analyse scaling relationships between populations and across latitudinal gradients. For these kinds of applications, it is crucial to be aware of the “fallacy of the averages”, and it is often problematic or incorrect to simply substitute the average body mass or temperature for an entire population or ecosystem into allometric equations. We derive improved approximations to allometric equations and Boltzmann factors in terms of the central moments of body size and temperature, and we provide tests for the accuracy of these approximations. This framework is necessary for interpreting the predictions of scaling theories for large-scale systems and grants insight into which characteristics of a given distribution are important. These approximations and tests are applied to data for body size for several taxonomic groups, including groups with multiple species, and to data for temperature at locations of varying latitude, corresponding to ectothermic body temperatures. Based on these results, the accuracy and utility of these approximations as applied to biological systems are assessed. We conclude that approximations to allometric equations at the species level are extremely accurate. However, for systems with a large range in body size, evaluating the skewness and kurtosis is often necessary, so it may be advantageous to calculate the exact form for the averaged scaling relationships instead. Moreover, the improved approximation for the Boltzmann factor, which uses the average and standard deviation of temperature, is quite accurate and represents a significant improvement over previous approximations.

The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2×10−4. A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 1038 cm−2 s−1. The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium.

The scintillation region is delimited by a planar grid and a curved one, whose shape is calculated to produce a radially increasing scintillation yield, compensating for the decrease in the solid angle. In this work, we applied this technique to a GPSC instrumented with a PMT having a 25-mm diameter photocathode. The maximum ratio of the detector entrance window to the photocathode diameter thus far achieved, without significant performance degradation, is 1.

Excessive walk is defined here as any walk that leads to an overall timing resolution that is much greater than the intrinsic timing resolution of the detection system. The method is able to reduce the contribution to the overall timing resolution from the walk to a value that is equal to or less than the intrinsic timing resolution of the detectors. Although the method is explained in the context of a neutron time-of-flight experiment, it is applicable to any data set that satisfies two conditions: (1) a measure of the signal amplitude for each event must be recorded on an event-by-event basis; and (2) there must be a distinguishable class of events present where the timing information is known a priori.

The results show that λ L is isotope dependent, evidencing unconventional electron-phonon interactions as its source. The data are interpreted here in terms of polaronic effects on the single-particle energies, which leads to level shifts and exponential band narrowing. Good agreement with the experimental data is obtained.

Transmission electron micrographs also reveal sharp diffraction patterns in the even- n layers but diffuse scattering in the odd- n layers.

Chem. Phys. 52, 1262 (1970)] has always embodied charge transfer processes. The mechanism of that behavior is examined here and recast for use as a new empirical potential energy surface for large-scale simulations. A two-state model is explored. The main features of the model are: (1) explicit decomposition of the total system electron density is invoked; (2) the charge is defined through the density decomposition into constituent contributions; (3) the charge transfer behavior is controlled through the resonance energy matrix elements which cannot be ignored; and (4) a reference-state approach, similar in spirit to the EVB method, is used to define the resonance state energy contributions in terms of “knowable” quantities. With equal validity, the new potential energy can be expressed as a nonthermal ensemble average with a nonlinear but analytical charge dependence in the occupation number. Dissociation to neutral species for a gas-phase process is preserved. A variant of constrained search density functional theory is advocated as the preferred way to define an energy for a given charge. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This method is based on a previously developed formalism for analytic MR-CI gradients adapted to the use for the computation of nonadiabatic coupling terms. As was the case for the analytic energy gradients, very general, separate choices of invariant orbital subspaces at the multiconfiguration self-consistent field and MR-CI levels are possible, allowing flexible selections of MR-CI wave functions. The computational cost for the calculation of the nonadiabatic coupling vector at the MR-CI level is far below the cost for the energy calculation. In this paper the formalism of the method is presented and in the following paper [Dallos et al., J. Chem. Phys. 120, 7330 (2004)] applications concerning the optimization of minima on the crossing seam are described. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Chem. Phys. 120, 7322 (2004)] has been combined with automatic searches for minima on the crossing seam (MXS). Based on a perturbative description of the vicinity of a conical intersection, a Lagrange formalism for the determination of MXS has been derived. Geometry optimization by direct inversion in the iterative subspace extrapolation is used to improve the convergence properties of the corresponding Newton-Raphson procedure. Three examples have been investigated: the crossing between the 1 1B1/2 1A1 valence states in formaldehyde, the crossing between the 2 1A1/3 1A1 π-π* valence and ny-3py Rydberg states in formaldehyde, and three crossings in the case of the photodimerization of ethylene. The methods developed allow MXS searches of significantly larger systems at the MR-CI level than have been possible before and significantly more accurate calculations as compared to previous complete-active space self-consistent field approaches. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We have carried out state-of-the-art calculations using the complete active space multiconfiguration self-consistent field followed by multireference configuration interaction methods that included up to 18 million configurations, in conjunction with relativistic effects. We have computed 29 low-lying electronic states of RuC with different spin multiplicities and spatial symmetries with energy separations less than 38 000 cm-1. We find two very closely low-lying electronic states for RuC, viz., 1Σ+ and 3Δ with the 1Σ+ being stabilized at higher levels of theory. Our computed spectroscopic constants and dipole moments are in good agreement with experiment although we have reported more electronic states than those that have been observed experimentally. Our computations reveal a strongly bound 1Σ+ state with a large dipole moment which is most likely the experimentally observed ground state and an energetically close 3Δ state with a smaller dipole moment. Overall our computed spectroscopic constants of the excited states with energy separations less than 18 000 cm-1 agree quite well with those of the corresponding observed states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

T1 - Molecular dynamics investigation of ferrous–ferric electron transfer in a hydrolyzing aqueous solution: Calculation of the pH dependence of the diabatic transfer barrier and the potential of mean force. JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/04/22/ VL - 120 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 7607 EP - 7615 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - We present a molecular model for ferrous–ferric electron transfer in an aqueous solution that accounts for electronic polarizability and exhibits spontaneous cation hydrolysis. An extended Lagrangian technique is introduced for carrying out calculations of electron-transfer barriers in polarizable systems. The model predicts that the diabatic barrier to electron transfer increases with increasing pH, due to stabilization of the Fe3+ by fluctuations in the number of hydroxide ions in its first coordination sphere, in much the same way as the barrier would increase with increasing dielectric constant in the Marcus theory. We have also calculated the effect of pH on the potential of mean force between two hydrolyzing ions in aqueous solution. As expected, increasing pH reduces the potential of mean force between the ferrous and ferric ions in the model system. The magnitudes of the predicted increase in diabatic transfer barrier and the predicted decrease in the potential of mean force nearly cancel each other at the canonical transfer distance of 0.55 nm. Even though hydrolysis is allowed in our calculations, the distribution of reorganization energies has only one maximum and is Gaussian to an excellent approximation, giving a harmonic free energy surface in the reorganization energy F(ΔE) with a single minimum. There is thus a surprising amount of overlap in electron-transfer reorganization energies for Fe2+–Fe(H2O)63+, Fe2+–Fe(OH)(H2O)52+, and Fe2+–Fe(OH)2(H2O)+ couples, indicating that fluctuations in hydrolysis state can be viewed on a continuum with other solvent contributions to the reorganization energy. There appears to be little justification for thinking of the transfer rate as arising from the contributions of different hydrolysis states. Electronic structure calculations indicate that Fe(H2O)62+–Fe(OH)n(H2O)6-n(3-n)+ complexes interacting through H3O2- bridges do not have large electronic couplings. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

One-electron self-exchange reactions are predicted to be fast (log k ≉ 6-9 M-1 s-1) but not diffusion limited. The internal component of the reorganization energy makes a large contribution to the total reorganization energy and cannot be neglected. Analysis and theoretical extensions of crystal structure data led to predicted precursor complex structures that, in the end, yielded theoretical electron transfer rates in good agreement with experimental ones. Electron transfer distances in solution are predicted to be in the 7-9 Å range. Calculated values of the electronic coupling matrix element indicate that the distinction between adiabatic and nonadiabatic electron transfer in this system likely occurs in this distance range as well. A set of reduction potentials was also produced by combining the density functional theory calculations with equilibrium expressions and the known acidity constants in the AQDS system.

Analysis of the reaction products by gas chromatography and matrix isolation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has positively identified six linear C6H6 species and two cyclic C6H6 species. Of these species cis-1,3-hexadien-5-yne and trans-1,3-hexadiene-5-yne have been unambiguously identified for the first time and provide vital information concerning a low-temperature route to benzene that does not involve the formation of fulvene; however, the data also provide support for two high-temperature paths from propargyl radicals to benzene via fulvene. Thus experimental evidence has been gained that supports two different routes to benzene formation. The mechanisms and rate coefficients that have been obtained in this work are discussed.

These patterns can be interpreted by combining experimental TRIR data with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The DFT calculations are particularly valuable as they provide vibrational energy shifts between the ground and excited states and an analysis of the electronic interactions in terms of the orbitals involved in the excitation. TRIR and DFT results for four different transient excited states, intraligand π → π*, metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT), intramolecular (dπ-Οπ) → π* excited states, and a redox-separated (RS state), are presented here. A unique example of competing excited states studied by TRIR is also presented. The complexes studied include fac-[ReI(CO)3(Me2dppz)(4-Etpy)]+, fac-[ReI(CO)3(bpy)(4-Etpy)]+, fac-[ReI(CO)3(4,4‘-(CH3)2bpy)(OQD)] , fac-[ReI(CO)3(Me2dppz)(py-PTZ)]+, and fac-[ReI(CO)3(dppz)(py-PTZ)]+ (Me2dppz is dimethyl dipyrido[3,2-a:2‘,3‘-c]phenazine; dppz is dipyrido[3,2-a:2‘,3‘-c]phenazine; 4Etpy is 4-ethylpyridine; bpy is 2,2‘-bipyridine; 4,4‘-(CH3)2bpy is 4,4‘-(CH3)-2,2‘-bipyridine; OQD is 1-methyl-6-oxyquinone; py-PTZ is 10-(4-picolyl)phenothiazine). In addition to the DFT studies on the lowest triplet states probed by TRIR spectroscopy, time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations were also performed to analyze several of the lowest singlet and triplet excited states for each of the complexes.

The former process results in partial replacement of sodium while the latter results in complete exchange. The discharge characteristics depend upon the sodium content, with the partially lithiated material exhibiting hysteresis in the charge/discharge profile and differential capacity plots from stepped potential experiments. For the fully lithiated material, a complex voltage profile with several distinct plateaus corresponding to several two-phase regions is observed. No evidence of spinel formation during ion-exchange or electrochemical cycling is seen for this system.

We demarcated 10 regions of genomic loss between 16q23.1 and 16qter that occurred in five or more samples. Mining expression array data from four independent studies allowed us to identify 11 genes that were frequently underexpressed in prostate cancer and that co-localized with a region of genomic loss. Quantitative expression analyses of these genes in matched tumor and benign tissue from 13 patients showed that six of these 11 (WWOX, WFDC1, MAF, FOXF1, MVD and the predicted novel transcript Q9H0B8 (NM_031476)) had significant and consistent downregulation in the tumors relative to normal prostate tissue expression making them candidate tumor suppressor genes.Oncogene (2004) 23, 3487-3494. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1207474 Published online 12 April 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this paper, we describe an elegant and simple method for constructing large combinatorial Fab libraries for display on the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, from modestly sized, and easily constructed, heavy and light chain libraries. To this end, we have constructed a set of yeast strains and a two vector system for heavy chain and light chain surface display of Fab fragments with free native amino termini. Through yeast mating of the haploid libraries, a very large heterodimeric immune Fab library was displayed on the diploids and high affinity antigen specific Fabs were isolated from the library.

Here we describe the first thermodynamic and mechanistic studies of metal binding to a cation diffusion facilitator. Isothermal titration calorimetric analyses of the purified YiiP and binding competitions among Zn2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+ revealed a mutually competitive binding site common to three metal ions and a set of noncompetitive binding sites, including one Cd2+ site, one Hg2+ site, and at least one Zn2+ site, to which the binding of Zn2+ exhibited partial inhibitions of both Cd2+ and Hg2+ bindings. Lowering the pH from 7.0 to 5.5 inhibited binding of Zn2+ and Cd2+ to the common site. Further, the enthalpy change of the Cd2+ binding to the common site was found to be related linearly to the ionization enthalpy of the pH buffer with a slope corresponding to the release of 1.23 H+ for each Cd2+ binding. These H+ effects are consistent with a coupled deprotonation process upon binding of Zn2+ and Cd2+ modification of histidine residues by diethyl pyrocarbonate specifically inhibited Zn2+ binding to the common binding site, indicating that the mechanism of binding-deprotonation coupling involves a histidine residue(s).

T1 - Early Collapse is not an Obligate Step in Protein Folding JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2004/04/23/ VL - 338 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 369 SN - 00222836 AB - The dimensions and secondary structure content of two proteins which fold in a two-state manner are measured within milliseconds of denaturant dilution using synchrotron-based, stopped-flow small-angle X-ray scattering and far-UV circular dichroism spectroscopy. Even upon a jump to strongly native conditions, neither ubiquitin nor common-type acylphosphatase contract prior to the major folding event. Circular dichroism and fluorescence indicate that negligible amounts of secondary and tertiary structures form in the burst phase. Thus, for these two denatured states, collapse and secondary structure formation are not energetically downhill processes even under aqueous, low-denaturant conditions. In addition, water appears to be as good a solvent as that with high concentrations of denaturant, when considering the over-all dimensions of the denatured state. However, the removal of denaturant does subtly alter the distribution of backbone dihedral φ,ψ angles, most likely resulting in a shift from the polyproline II region to the helical region of the Ramachandran map. We consider the thermodynamic origins of these behaviors along with implications for folding mechanisms and computer simulations thereof.

T1 - MHC–Peptide Binding is Assisted by Bound Water Molecules JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2004/04/23/ VL - 338 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 419 SN - 00222836 AB - Water plays an important role in determining the high affinity of epitopes to the class I MHC complex. To study the energy and dynamics of water interactions in the complex we performed molecular dynamics simulation of the class I MHC–HLA2 complex bound to the HIV reverse transcriptase epitope, ILKEPVHGV, and in the absence of the epitope. Each simulation was extended for 5 ns. We studied the processes of water penetration in the interface between MHC and peptide, and identified 14 water molecules that stay bound for periods longer than 1 ns in regions previously identified by crystallography. These water molecules in the interface perform definite “tasks” contributing to the binding energy: hydrogen bond bridges between MHC and peptide and filling empty spaces in the groove which enhance affinity without contributing to epitope specificity. We calculate the binding energy for interfacial water molecules and find that there is an overall gain in free energy resulting from the formation of water clusters at the epitope–MHC interface. Water molecules serving the task of filling empty spaces bind at the interface with a net gain in entropy, relative to their entropy in bulk. We conclude that water molecules at the interface play the role of active mediators in the MHC–peptide interaction, and might be responsible for the large binding affinity of the MHC complex to a large number of epitope sequences.

Noninvasive biomonitoring approaches are being developed using reliable portable analytical systems to quantitate dosimetry utilizing readily obtainable body fluids, such as saliva. Saliva has been used to evaluate a broad range of biomarkers, drugs, and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and pesticides. To advance the application of noninvasive biomonitoring a microfluidic/electrochemical device has also been developed for the analysis of lead (Pb), using square-wave anodic stripping voltametry. The system demonstrates a linear response over a broad concentration range (1-2000 ppb) and is capable of quantitating saliva Pb in rats orally administered acute doses of Pb acetate. Appropriate pharmacokinetic analyses have been used to quantitate systemic dosimetry based on determination of saliva Pb concentrations. In addition, saliva has recently been used to quantitate dosimetry following exposure to the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos in a rodent model system by measuring the major metabolite, trichloropyridinol, and saliva cholinesterase inhibition following acute exposures. These results suggest that technology developed for noninvasive biomonitoring can provide a sensitive and portable analytical tool capable of assessing exposure and risk in real-time. By coupling these noninvasive technologies with pharmacokinetic modeling it is feasible to rapidly quantitate acute exposure to a broad range of chemical agents. In summary, it is envisioned that once fully developed, these monitoring and modeling approaches will be useful for evaluating acute exposure and health risk.

The mesophase comprises gold nanocrystals arranged within a silica matrix in a face-centered cubic lattice with cell dimensions that are adjustable through control of the nanocrystal diameter and/or the alkane chain lengths of the primary alkanethiol stabilizing ligands or the surrounding secondary surfactants. Under kinetically controlled silica polymerization conditions, evaporation drives self-assembly of NC micelles into ordered NC/silica thin-film mesophases during spin coating. The intermediate NC micelles are water soluble and of interest for biolabeling. Initial experiments on a metal-insulator-metal capacitor fabricated with an ordered three-dimensional gold nanocrystal/silica array as the "insulator" demonstrated collective Coulomb blockade behavior below 100 kelvin and established the current-voltage scaling relationship for a well-defined three-dimensional array of Coulomb islands.

Two refinements of the original RCS method are presented and results are shown for commercial purity copper that illustrate the associated improvements in the effectiveness of nanostructuring. Second-generation tooling was implemented using a bench scale rolling mill for continuous processing of sheet and bar. We have found that this design does not produce enough plastic strain per RCS cycle for effective grain refinement prior to the formation and growth of fatigue cracks. Third-generation tooling was designed to process sheet and increase the amount of shear deformation per iteration. The third-generation tooling design introduced significant shear strain and was found to be effective in grain refinement.

Following a brief description of microstructure and micro-tensile properties, the results of stress-life (S-N) experiments are presented for specimens with thicknesses of 70 and 270 μm. Specimens with the thicker cross-sections (270 μm thick) are shown to have comparable fatigue resistance to annealed bulk Ni in the as-plated condition. The thinner specimens (70 μm thick) have comparable fatigue resistance to hardened Ni, and better fatigue resistance than the thicker samples. The underlying fatigue fracture modes are elucidated via scanning electron microscopy. The implications of the results are then discussed for the failure analysis of LIGA Ni MEMS structures.

The frictional force consists of an adhesion force and a deformation force, producing an adhesion component and a deformation component of the friction coefficient. In this study, we compare the adhesion components of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti and coarse-grained (CG) Ti at temperatures from 25 to 800 °C and under a range of pressures. The UFG Ti samples were in two processing states: equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) for eight passes and ECAP+further cold rolling for 75% rolling strain. The experimental data indicate that ultrafine-grained structure results in lower adhesion component and consequently lower friction coefficient, which should in turn improve the wear property.

Three alloys were studied: Alloy 1: Mo5Si3Bx (T1)–MoSi2–MoB; Alloy 2: T1–Mo5SiB2 (T2)–Mo3Si and Alloy 3: Mo–T2–Mo3Si. Tests were conducted at 1000 and 1100 °C in controlled atmospheres of dry air and wet air nominally containing up to 2.0×104 Pa H2O. The effect of moisture on the oxidation behavior of Mo–Si–B alloys has been reported for the first time. The initial mass loss of each alloy was approximately independent of the test temperature and moisture content of the atmosphere and varied according to the Mo content of the alloys. All alloys formed a continuous external glassy scale that protected against further mass change after volatilization of the initially formed MoO3. Each alloy underwent a small steady state mass change following the initial volatilization of MoO3. All alloys formed varying amounts of subscale Mo and MoO2, implying that the external glassy scale significantly reduced inward transport of oxygen. For all alloys compared to dry air, water vapor accelerated the growth of the multiphase Mo and MoO2 interlayer at the scale/alloy interface. The role of water vapor on the initial formation of the scale and its stabilization has been qualitatively discussed and analyzed.

Rev. B] and compare with experimental sound speeds from various sources. The experiment extends from the crystal through the entire solid-liquid two-phase region. The EOS and data closely agree on where the Hugoniot passes through the two-phase region, which corresponds to where aluminum melts. The bulk sound speed in the crystal region is consistent with the data, given the uncertainty in the experimental procedure. We also estimate shear moduli by using the experimental longitudinal sound speed data and the calculated bulk modulus. The shear modulus satisfies the approximation GS/BS=constant, within experimental error bars, throughout the crystal region on the Hugoniot. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This technique was used to perform plate-impact, shock wave experiments on cryogenic liquid deuterium (LD2) to examine its high-pressure equation of state (EOS). Using an impedance matching method, Hugoniot measurements were obtained in the pressure range of 22–100 GPa. The results of these experiments disagree with previously reported Hugoniot measurements of LD2 in the pressure range above ∼40 GPa, but are in good agreement with first principles, ab-initio models for hydrogen and its isotopes. Additionally, a novel approach was developed using a wave reverberation technique to probe density compression of LD2 along the principal Hugoniot. Relative transit times of shock waves reverberating within the sample are shown to be sensitive to the compression due to the first shock. Results in the range of 22–75 GPa corroborate the ∼4 fold density compression inferred from the impedance matching Hugoniot measurements, and provide data to differentiate between proposed theories for hydrogen and its isotopes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In particular, the mass of a core of heavy elements (other than H and He) and the total amount and distribution of heavy elements are very sensitive to the EOS of hydrogen and constitute important clues to its formation process. We present a study of the range of structures allowed by the current uncertainty in the hydrogen EOS. We show that an improved experimental understanding of hydrogen at Mbar pressures is necessary to put firm limits on the internal structure of Jupiter. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Particularly important is the behavior up to about 200 GPa, covering the foot of the implosion drive. We have performed experiments to measure the equation of state (EOS) and flow stress of beryllium, and to investigate solid-solid phase transitions and melting, using flyer impact and isentropic compression by pulsed electromagnetic fields at Z, and shocks induced by direct laser irradiation at TRIDENT. The principal diagnostic was VISAR velocimetry; transient x-ray diffraction was also used on some TRIDENT experiments. The Hugoniot and isentrope data were consistent with previously-reported EOS. The flow stress was inferred from elastic precursor waves to be about 6 GPa in the (0001) direction on these time scales, with significant sensitivity to orientation. Possible evidence was observed of the hex-bcc transition and of melting. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this study, the Hugoniot-measurement experiments were performed using both a powder gun and two-stage gas guns in the pressure range to 100 GPa by means of the inclined-mirror method. The HEL stress was measured to be larger than 30 GPa. A kink was observed on the Hugoniot in the pressure range higher than 60 GPa, which might be caused by structural phase transition or decomposition. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This study extends in pressure by 70% the previous state of the art on unreacted LX-04 using this technique. This isentrope will give the unreacted Hugoniot from thermodynamic relations using a Gruneisen equation of state model. The unreacted Hugoniot of LX-04 is important in understanding the structure of the reaction front in the detonating explosive. We find that a Hugoniot given by US = 2.95 km/s + 1.69 uP yields for an isentrope a curve which fits our LX-04 ICE data well. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The equation of state is used to assess hot-spot conditions that would result from hydrodynamic pore collapse in a shock-to-detonation transition. The hot-spot temperature is determined as a function of shock strength by solving two Riemann problems in sequence: first for the velocity and density of the jet formed when the shock overtakes the pore, and second for the stagnation state when the jet impacts the far side of the pore. For a shock pressure below 5 GPa, the stagnation temperature from the jet is below the melt temperature at ambient pressure and hence insufficient for rapid reaction. Consequently, for weak shocks a dissipation mechanism in addition to shock heating is needed to generate hot spots. When the stagnation temperature is sufficiently high for rapid reaction, the shock emanating from the hot spot is computed, assuming a constant volume burn. For initial shocks below 20 GPa, the temperature behind the second shock is below 1000 K and would not propagate a detonation wave. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Velocity interferometry measured time-resolved wave profiles at the tin/window interface. The experiments exhibit a departure from expected liquid response, time-dependent behavior above 8 GPa, and, at higher pressure, reduced wave speed relative to calculations using a nonequilibrium phase-mixture model. These phenomena may be due to a nonequilibrium solidification process, but verification of this conjecture will require further work. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The maximum achievable superheating is dictated by nucleation process of melt in crystals, which in turn depends on material properties and heating rates. We have established the systematics for maximum superheating by incorporating a dimensionless nucleation barrier parameter and heating rate, with which systematic molecular dynamics simulations and dynamic experiments are consistent. Detailed microscopic investigation with large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of the superheating-melting process, and structure-resolved ultrafast dynamic experiments are necessary to establish the connection between the kinetic limit of superheating and vibrational and mechanical instabilities, and catastrophe theories. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The bulk density and corresponding porous microstructure can be varied by adding different types and quantities of organic pore formers prior to bisque firing and sintering. In previous studies, a baseline material having a particular microstructure was examined in detail. Comparative experiments with a second material having a common density but a very different porous microstructure showed only subtle differences in mechanical and electrical shock properties. However, large differences in these properties were observed using materials prepared over a range of bulk densities. Recent studies have examined three new materials that were prepared at a common density matching that of the baseline material. Each was made using spherical pore formers having diameters within a narrow range, with nominal diameters varying from 15 μm to 140 μm. Normally poled samples of each material were used in identical planar impact experiments that produced peak stresses of 2.5 GPa under high-field conditions, or 4.5 GPa under short-circuit conditions. Unlike previous comparisons of common-density materials, consistent trends were evident in depoling currents, wave rise times and amplitudes, and yielding thresholds. Overall differences between two of these materials and the baseline material were relatively small, but the material made with the smallest pore former showed significant differences. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Homogeneous continuum models have been developed to describe material response, including Equation of State, strength, and reactive burn models. These models provide good estimates of bulk material response. However, there is little connection to underlying physics and, consequently, they cannot be applied far from their calibrated regime with confidence. Both explosives and metals have important structure at the (energetic or single crystal) grain scale. The anisotropic properties of the individual grains and the presence of interfaces result in the localization of energy during deformation. In explosives energy localization can lead to initiation under weak shock loading, and in metals to material ejecta under strong shock loading. To develop accurate, quantitative and predictive models it is imperative to develop a sound physical understanding of the grain-scale material response. Numerical simulations are performed to gain insight into grain-scale material response. The Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method family of numerical algorithms, selected for their robust treatment of large deformation problems and convenient framework for implementing material interface models, are reviewed. A three-dimensional simulation of wave propagation through a granular material indicates the scale and complexity of a representative grain-scale computation. Verification and validation calculations on model bimaterial systems indicate the minimum numerical algorithm complexity required for accurate simulation of wave propagation across material interfaces and demonstrate the importance of interfacial decohesion. Preliminary results are presented which predict energy localization at the grain boundary in a metallic bicrystal. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In addition, the Hugoniot of Zr shows a second phase transition at 23 GPa. We have developed multi-phase equations of state for these metals based on ultrasonic, static compression, and shock data. The second transition in Zr is consistent with a phase diagram in which the high-temperature and high-pressure bcc phases are a single continuous phase. Time-resolved experiments using plate impact and continuous magnetic loading are compared to simulations to investigate the kinetics of these phase transitions. Strong kinetic effects are observed in the α - ω transition in both metals, with the dynamic phase transition observed at pressures well above the equilibrium phase boundary. Data on Zr samples of varied purity are consistent with a strong reduction of the transformation rate by impurities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The verification and prediction of these localizations become important, due to their role in the initiation of a variety of significant material process. The prototype problem is a single grain boundary, inclined to the direction of shock propagation, separating regions of differing orientation. The calculations are made with a finite volume code using a continuum material model with explicit elastic, and plastic anisotropy. The response of NiAl is simulated using material property data from published sources, and from new experiments performed as part of the over-all project. The localization is seen internally as a small region of higher pressure at the intersection of the shock and the grain boundary. At the breakout surface the localization becomes manifest in velocity and displacement excursions at the grain boundary. This surface phenomenon provides an observable that can be used, with planned experiments, to validate the predictive behavior of the model. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Shocks Including Electronic Heat Conduction and Electron-Phonon Coupling. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 228 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Shocks are often simulated using the classical molecular dynamics (MD) method in which the electrons are not included explicitly and the interatomic interaction is described by an effective potential. As a result, the fast electronic heat conduction in metals and the coupling between the lattice vibrations and the electronic degrees of freedom can not be represented. Under conditions of steep temperature gradients that can form near the shock front, however, the electronic heat conduction can play an important part in redistribution of the thermal energy in the shocked target. We present the first atomistic simulation of a shock propagation including the electronic heat conduction and electron-phonon coupling. The computational model is based on the two-temperature model (TTM) that describes the time evolution of the lattice and electron temperatures by two coupled non-linear differential equations. In the combined TTM-MD method, MD substitutes the TTM equation for the lattice temperature. Simulations are performed with both MD and TTM-MD models for an EAM Al target shocked at 300 kbar. The target includes a tilt grain boundary, which provides a region where shock heating is more pronounced and, therefore, the effect of the electronic heat conduction is expected to be more important. We find that the differences between the predictions of the MD and TTM-MD simulations are significantly smaller as compared to the hydrodynamics calculations performed at similar conditions with and without electronic heat conduction. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

As an example the α → ε transformation in iron and the A11 (GaI)→cI12 (GaII) transformation in gallium are discussed. The use of semi-empirical descriptions of the inter-atomic forces and today’s parallel computing resources allow for a quantitative comparison of the theoretically calculated data with the experimental results. The discussion will include the crystallographic orientation dependence on the transformation process in single crystals. Simulations containing several millions of iron atoms reveal that above a critical shock strength, many small close-packed grains nucleate in the shock-compressed bcc crystal. For shock waves in the [001] direction the initially small grains are growing on a picosecond time scale to form larger, energetically favored, grains. For the two other major crystallographic directions, here the annealing processes are slower and and have not finished within the time scales accessible with atomistic simulations (up to 50 ps). Furthermore, crystals shocked in [111] direction produce solitary waves ahead of the actual shock front. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This work is part of a larger program of investigation of the effect of grain boundaries on shock propagation in materials. The project is initially focused on the simplest of materials: a bicrystal. Our study covers the effects of grain orientation, the grain boundary angle, the boundary region, shock properties and the interplay between these in determining the characteristics of shock propagation. Ultimately, we will use this information as a basis for incorporation into models of polycrystalline materials. Some of the physics found in polycrystals is absent, but the use of simple, well-defined samples allows thorough measurements to be made. Laser-based experiments and diagnostics are used throughout, permitting us to perform the many experiments required in an economical way. NiAl was chosen as a suitable anisotropic material; single crystal and bicrystal samples were prepared. The EOS and single-crystal elasticity were estimated with ab fere initio quantum mechanics. Laser flyer impact and direct drive experiments, coupled with line-imaging VISAR, were used to test and refine the EOS, and to measure crystal plasticity. Initial models of bicrystals under shock loading have been developed, shock experiments have been conducted on bicrystals and recovered samples have been analyzed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The method combines molecular dynamics and the Euler equations for compressible flow. Treatment of the difficult problem of the spontaneous formation of multiple shock waves due to material instabilities is enabled with this approach. The method allows the molecular dynamics simulation of the system under dynamical shock conditions for orders of magnitude longer time periods than is possible using the popular non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) approach. An example calculation is given for a model potential for silicon in which a computational speedup of 105 is demonstrated. Results of these simulations are consistent with the recent experimental observation of an anomalously large elastic precursor on the nanosecond timescale. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We obtain good agreement with experimental data in terms of pressure and density. As the molecules dissociate at high pressure and temperatures, we characterize the myriad of species that form. As NO dissociates along both the principal and reshocked Hugoniot, a significant amount of molecular nitrogen forms. As CO dissociates along the principal Hugoniot, first at low pressures, CO2 forms and large particles form (both polymer chains and rings) that contain both carbon and oxygen. At higher pressures (above 30 GPa), the CO2 dissociates and the particles breakup and form a mixture of CO, atomic carbon, and small transient clusters with lifetimes less than a typical molecular vibrational period. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Most details about solidification occurring when the liquid-solid coexistence line is suddenly transversed along the pressure axis remain unknown. We present preliminary results from an ongoing study of this process for both simple models of metals (Cu) and more sophisticated material models (MGPT potentials for Ta). Atomistic (molecular dynamics) simulations are used to extract details such as the time and length scales that govern these processes. Starting with relatively simple potential models, we demonstrate how molecular dynamics can be used to study solidification. Local and global order parameters that aid in characterizing the phase have been identified, and the dependence of the solidification time on the phase space distance between the final (P,T) state and the coexistence line has been characterized. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This paper focuses on pre-ignition phenomena which cause a local temperature rise when a single void in HMX collapses under the action of a shock wave. Working in the melting regime, a timeline can be associated with the collapse of a single void, through a consideration of the time scales on which these mechanisms are activated. We have studied the hydrodynamic mechanism, in which the shock driven incident side of the void impinges on the shadow side of the void, and is brought to rest, causing a considerable temperature rise in the HMX. Clearly this mechanism comes into consideration after the void collapses completely. Another mechanism we studied is that of shear heating. It is important for extremely small voids, or for large voids after the void has been compressed to a sufficiently small scale. This mechanism comes into play after the void has collapsed, and a remnants of the void have been spun off into a vortex. The phenomenon of gas compression as the gas-filled void collapses is difficult to ignore, in view of the fact that large temperatures are generated by this mechanism. We speculate that this mechanism could be important if the initial, endothermic induction step in a reaction scheme is shorter than the time of collapse. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The first step in the decomposition process is an intermolecular proton abstraction mechanism that leads to the formation of CH3NO2H and the aci ion H2CNO2-, in support of evidence from static high-pressure and shock experiments. An intramolecular hydrogen transfer that transforms nitromethane into the aci acid form, CH2NO2H, accompanies this event. This is the first confirmation of chemical reactivity with bond selectivity for an energetic material near the condition of fully reacted specimen. We also report the decomposition mechanism followed up to the formation of H2O as the first stable product. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The model couples the unifying hot-spot model developed earlier and the Lagrangian hydrodynamic flow equations. The hot-spot model incorporates key features of energy localization without introducing the mechanism-specific traits and is applicable to the three primary mechanisms of energy localization: pore collapse, friction. and shear banding. The coupling of the model to the hydrodynamic flow equations include models for energy localization, the growth of hot spots, and a two-phase aggregation of distributed hot spots, and a mixing rule for a product gas and a reacting solid. Proof-of-concept calculations for shock initiation are carried out in one spatial dimension, using RDX as a model material. Results include (1) shock ignition and growth-to-detonation, and (2) quenching. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The model in its current form has two types of hotspots- one from void collapse, and one from interactions at grain boundaries. The dependence of hotspot and bulk temperatures upon shock strength is estimated using a Gruneisen equation of state for the bulk solid, calibrated against measurements of reaction times for steady state detonation. Arrhenius kinetics are used to predict ignition times associated with hotspot temperatures. The hotspots contribute a small amount of energy to the shock front, thereby causing some shock front acceleration, and also serve to initiate erosive burning. The two erosive burn reactions that result from the two different types of hotspots compete to consume the material. The energy release rate resulting from the competition of these reactions was used as input to a method of characteristics code. This in turn was used to calculate particle velocity — time profiles at various simulated gauge locations. These calculated profiles were compared with experiment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Common temperature and pressure between the two phases is assumed. Each phase is also assumed to be represented in terms of pi(Vi,T) and ei(Vi,T), where pi, Vi, T, and ei are the pressure, specific volume, temperature, and specific internal energy, respectively. Three independent equations are formed: (1) p1 = p2; (2) wV1 + (1-w)V2 = V; and (3) we1 + (1-w)e2 = e. These equations determine V1, V2, and T given the total specific volume V, the total specific internal energy e, and w.

We applied our modified Mori-Tanaka theory to model the smaller crystals embedded in the plasticized estane binder (the dirty-binder). This model was modified to accommodate the large amount of HMX in the dirty binder. We then subjected the ∼1 million element PBX 9501 realization to boundary conditions commensurate with a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar experiment. We compare results to experiment and a micro-mechanical model we have reported on earlier.

For a plastic-bonded explosive, shock desensitization experiments imply that hot spots generated by pore collapse dominate shock initiation. Here, for the collapse of a single pore driven by a shock, the dependence of the temperature distribution on numerical resolution and dissipative mechanism is investigated. An inert material (with the constitutive properties of HMX) is used to better focus on the mechanics of pore collapse. Two important findings result from this study. First, insufficient resolution can significantly overpredict the hot-spot mass. Second, up to moderate piston velocities (< 1 km/s), shock dissipation alone does not generate sufficient hot-spot mass for initiation. Two other dissipative mechanisms investigated are plastic work and viscous heating. In the cases studied, the integrated temperature distribution has a power-law tail with exponent related to a parameter with dimensions of viscosity. The parameter of either dissipative mechanism can be fit to obtain the hot-spot mass needed for initiation of any single experiment. However, the dissipative mechanisms scale differently with shock strength and pore size. Consequently, to predict initiation behavior over a range of stimuli and as the micro-structure properties of a PBX are varied, sufficient numerical resolution and the correct physical dissipative mechanism are essential. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The model has already successfully modeled several processes in HMX-based explosives, such as shock desensitization, that can not predicted by other reactive flow models.

The hot spots ignite and link up in the reaction zone by high-pressure deflagration. Although the deflagration is subsonic, there are so many ignition sites that the pressure build-up is rapid enough to strengthen the initial shock. Quantitative advances in this research require a detailed understanding of deflagration at the high pressure, 1 to 50 GPa, which is present in the reaction zone. We performed direct numerical simulations of high-pressure deflagrations using a simplified global (3-reaction) chemical kinetics scheme. We used ALE-3D to calculate coupled chemical reactions, heat transfer, and hydrodynamic flow for finite-difference zones comprising a mixture of reactants and products at pressure and temperature equilibrium. The speed of isobaric deflagrations depends on the pressure and initial temperature. We show how this dependence changes with kinetic parameters, including the order of the last reaction step and the heat of formation of the species formed, relative to the reactant. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this study the method is extended to include small (∼2nm) diamond clusters and to allow for surface chemistry of the groups that cap dangling bonds. An analytic representation of the Gibbs free energy of the cluster as a function of surface composition is incorporated in a fashion similar to that used for internal degrees of freedom for molecules. Bulk carbon phases are incorporated as analytic terms while the molecular fluid mixture is explicitly included in the Monte Carlo simulation. Starting from a very general partition function, equilibrium chemical composition results from a correlated interchange of atoms between species, whether fluid, bulk, cluster, or cluster surface group. Also allowed is fluid-fluid phase separation from terms that reduce to the Gibbs ensemble as a special case. Hugoniots and detonation velocities are determined from interpolation of tabulated equation of state results. Quantum calculations are in progress to better characterize the diamond clusters, surface groups, and their interactions with the molecular fluid. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Many practical rate models have succeeded as fitting forms; they have limited predictive capabilities. One route to greater predictability may be to revise contemporary theories of activated rate processes to depend explicitly on properties of the shock environment. The rate model presented here depends on the projection of the particle velocity along a reaction coordinate (or order parameter or slip system depending on the context) describing the transformation process. The model is able to fit both thermal- and shock-activated PETN and nitromethane (NM) barriers in a physically sensible way. The model behaves qualitatively correctly to account for the difference in two NM shock experiments. The model predicts hypersensitivity to dispersion in the particle velocity distribution as it projects onto a reaction coordinate. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This method does not involve finite difference calculation of spatial derivatives. Mesh regularity, and the local topologic equivalence to a regular mesh are not required. The lighting surface is represented by a collection of curved facets contained in partially burnt cells. Level-set functions are calculated by direct measurement of distance to the lighting surface, and are carried only for nodes of a set of elements in a narrow band that covers the lighting surface. In the case of a concave boundary, the nodal distances are calculated with geodesics. A polynomial fitting of nodal level-set values across elements provides third-order spatial accuracy where the surface is sufficiently smooth. The DSD (Detonation Shock Dynamics) level-set equation is integrated directly in the normal direction. The new algorithm is self-initialized and allows easy boundary treatment with body fitting meshes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Recent improvements to the code have aided our computational capability in modeling the response of energetic materials systems exposed to extreme thermal environments, such as fires. We consider an idealized model process for a confined explosive involving the transition from slow heating to rapid deflagration in which the time scale changes from days to hundreds of microseconds. The heating stage involves thermal expansion and decomposition according to an Arrhenius kinetics model while a pressure-dependent burn model is employed during the explosive phase. We describe and demonstrate the numerical strategies employed to make the transition from slow to fast dynamics. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We have explored this sensitivity using classical fracture mechanics with the added feature that interfacial friction is accounted for in the behavior of compression cracks. Our analysis shows that four types of unstable crack growth are possible for a penny-shaped crack under a general state of stress, depending on crack orientation: opening without shear, mixed opening and shear, pure shear without friction, and shear with interfacial friction. In addition, interfacial friction prevents crack growth at all stress intensities in a certain range of compressive stress. It will be shown that these analytic results are captured by the SCRAM brittle-failure algorithm, and that friction strongly affects the orientation of the most unstable shear crack as well as the range of unstable orientations. A second study examines the variations in material response as a function of the number of orientations represented. This is done by computing the dynamic response of an axisymmetric thick ring to internal pressure. With the traditional 9 crack orientations the fluctuation in porosity is about 28%, while with 480 orientations the fluctuation drops to just over 2%. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 461 EP - 464 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - While much has been learned over the past five decades concerning shock hardening and the spallation response of materials shock-loaded using “square-topped” shock profiles, achieved via flyer plate loading, considerably less quantitative information is known concerning direct in-contact HE-driven or triangular-wave loading profile shock prestraining on metals and alloys. In this paper the influence of shock-wave profile, using both “square-topped” and triangular-wave pulses, on the shock hardening and spallation response of 316L stainless steel is presented. The shock hardening in 316L SS, using a triangular-shaped pulse and square-topped pulse (pulse duration of 0.75 μsec) to a peak shock pressure of 6.6 GPa was found to be reasonably similar. Square-wave loading at 6.6 GPa is observed to result in incipient spallation in 316L SS while triangular-wave loading to an equivalent peak stress is quantified to exhibit no wave-profile “pull-back” nor damage evolution. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Such localized tensile pulses can cause damage to occur, and may cause the target to separate into two pieces. Metals that are subjected to shock loading as a result of being in contact with a detonating high explosive are well known to exhibit a triangular (‘Taylor-wave’) loading/unloading profile. When such a triangular wave reaches a free surface the lead shock is reflected as a release, interacts with the Taylor wave, and causes a tensile wave of increasing negative amplitude to propagate back into the sample. We describe here new experiments done to investigate the damage process for both flat top and triangular wave dynamic damage experiments. Both time-resolved free surface velocity results and post-experiment metallurgical examination of copper samples are described. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Calibration has typically used HE to shock metals to produce spall layers. Because the exact characteristics of these layers cannot be pre-determined, we are using a gas gun to test the accuracy and repeatability of the diagnostic. We impact a LiF or PMMA window in front of a VISAR probe with a projectile consisting of four thin stainless steel disks spaced apart 200 microns with either vacuum or polyethylene. The measured signature from the VISAR probe is compared with what is expected from the layered assembly traveling at the projectile’s velocity. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The two materials have nominally very similar grain sizes, texture, and bulk impurity contents. The two materials do differ in the melt practice used, the Cabot material underwent triple e-beam re-melting, while the Starck material underwent a double e-beam re-melting followed by a vacuum arc re-melt (VAR). Melt practice strongly influences the material cleanliness in most materials and hence greatly influences fracture properties such as fatigue resistance and fracture toughness. The samples were tested in a flyer plate experiment with momentum trapping and soft recovery. A VISAR recorded the free surface velocity profile of the samples. The resulting damage in the microstructures was quantified, statistically reduced and used in developing separate parameters for a damage model. Comparisons between simulation predictions and experimental measurements of free surface velocity, porosity distributions, and volumetric number density distributions of voids are presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Longitudinal momentum trapping was used to minimize the influence of release waves and thereby decrease the dimensionality of the experiments. Two of the experiments involved soft capture of the spalled piece. The material used is a proprietary directionally cast Al alloy with a mostly equiaxed grain morphology and essentially random texture in the region of spallation. The damage was most distributed in the lowest impact velocity shot and became progressively more narrow with increasing impact velocity. The effectiveness of the momentum trap design increased with increasing impact velocity. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this study, 31 charges were pressed using a full permutation of six pressing parameters. Five charges from the set of 31 were selected for an evaluation of their mechanical properties, specifically uniaxial compression and tension. Charges were selected to 1) span the density range of the study, and 2) allow two direct comparisons of pressing parameters independent of bulk density (density has a well-established affect on some material properties). Three PBX 9501 charges pressed isostatically at Pantex Plant in Amarillo, TX were also included in the study. The tensile properties of the 8 charges varied significantly. Careful evaluation of the results suggests that an increase in pressing temperature may correlate with an increase in tensile stress (strength) and a decrease in strain (ductility). Trends in compression exist but are less pronounced. In an effort to explore the relationship between pressing temperature and tensile strength, four sheets of Estane polymer (a component of the PBX 9501 binder) were compression molded at 70, 90, 110 and 130°C. The tensile strength of Estane was observed to increase by a factor of nearly 20 when the molding temperature was increased from 70 to 90°C (strength increase was negligible beyond 90°C). We present an outline of ongoing work that will irrefutably quantify the mechanical property affects of both pressing temperature and dwell time on PBX 9501.(LA-UR 03-4842). © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Precise momentum trapping has made it possible to arrest the damage after a short tensile pulse before complete fracture. This process has been modeled with a void nucleation and growth law. 2D calculations have been performed to compare with final porosity and void number density data. The tensile bar damage modeling has been supplemented with modeling of incipient spallation of copper in a plate impact gas gun experiment. These two experiments differ widely in the (negative) pressure level and modeling both their porosity results will permit the creation of a nucleation model that spans the resulting wide pressure range. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Prior studies have examined this shock behavior in randomized inert and reactive media. In this work, we investigate the shock behavior in a porous lattice consisting of hexagonally packed layers of 500 μm tin spheres impacted at 0.5 km/s. This ordered geometry provides a well-defined configuration to validate mesoscale material modeling based on three-dimensional CTH calculations. Detailed wave fields are experimentally probed using a line-imaging interferometer and transmitted particle velocities are compared to numerical mesoscale calculations. Multiple shock fronts traverse the porous layers whereby particle-to-particle interactions cause stress bridging effects and the evolution of organized wave structures. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The split-Hopkinson pressure bar compression behavior and the activity of deformation mechanisms were found to be highly dependent on the initial texture and the loading orientation. Neutron diffraction measurements of the bulk texture as a function of strain were made at the Manuel Lujan Jr. Neutron Scattering Center. The activation of deformation twinning at high strain rates in beryllium was observed to cause both anisotropy in the mechanical behavior and rapid evolution of the texture compared to slip deformation alone. A visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) polycrystalline plasticity model was used to closely simulate the texture and flow strength evolution by accounting for contributions from both slip deformation and twinning mechanisms. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The anisotropic constitutive modeling is posed in an unrotated material frame of reference using the theorem of polar decomposition to compute rigid-body rotation. TEPLA is based upon the Gurson flow surface (a potential function used in conjunction with the associated flow law). The original TEPLA equation set has been extended to include anisotropic elastoplasticity and has been recast into a new implicit solution algorithm based upon an eigenvalue scheme to accommodate the anisotropy. This algorithm solves a two-by-two system of nonlinear equations using a Newton-Raphson iteration scheme. Simulations of a shaped-charge jet formation, a Taylor cylinder impact, and an explosively loaded hemishell were selected to demonstrate the utility of this modeling capability. The predicted deformation topology, plastic strain, and porosity distributions are shown for the three simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The reload yield stress of Zr shock prestrained to 8 GPa was found to exhibit enhanced shock hardening when compared to the flow stress measured quasi-statically at an equivalent strain. In contrast, the reload yield behavior of Zr specimens shocked to 5.8 GPa did not exhibit enhanced shock hardening. The microstructure of the as-annealed and shock prestrained materials were examined. The presence of a reduced available glide distance due to a relatively more well developed dislocation substructure and increased twinning over quasi-static specimens deformed to comparable strains correlates with the increased yield stresses after shock prestraining at 8 GPa. Additionally, the retention of ∼ 40% by volume metastable high-pressure ω-phase in specimens shocked to 8 GPa and its absence in the 5.8 GPa specimen, is thought to contribute to the increased yield stress in the 8 GPa specimens. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

There is a lack of experimental data available for the validation ofmodels of dynamic sliding. The Rotating Barrel Gas Gun (RBGG) is a novel, small-scale experimental facility designed to investigate interfacial dynamics at high loads and sliding speeds. The RBGG utilizes a low-pressure gas gun to propel a rotating annular projectile towards an annular target rod. Upon striking the target, the projectile imparts both an axial and a torsional impulse into the target at a timescale relevant to explosively-driven events. Resulting elastic waves are measured using strain gages attached to the target rod. The coefficient of friction is obtained through an analysis of the resulting strain wave data. Initial experiments have been performed using dry copper/copper interfaces. We find that the measured coefficient of friction can evolve significantly over a 30 μs event. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The equation of state (EOS) and elasticity were predicted using ab initio quantum mechanics. Polycrystalline NiTi samples were prepared with a range of compositions, and thickesses between about 100 and 400 μm. Laser-driven flyer impact experiments were used to verify the EOS and to measure the flow stress from the amplitude of the elastic precursor; the spall strength was also obtained from these experiments. The laser flyer EOS data were consistent with Hugoniot points deduced from gas gun experiments. Decaying shocks were induced in samples, by direct laser irradiation with a variety of pressures and durations, to investigate the threshold for martensite formation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Pressures of order 15 GPa are studied and the velocity dependence of the frictional force is studied for several interfacial configurations including Al(100)/Ta(100) and Al(111)/Ta(110).

Since HY-100 is a ductile metal, a more gradual failure process is observed as opposed to the nearly instantaneous failure in brittle materials. We extend our elasto-plastic-damage constitutive model by including of a decohesion model to describe material behavior between the onset of failure and fracture. We also develop an anisotropic failure surface to account for directionality in material failure. Both the anisotropic failure and decohesion models have been implemented into a finite element code, where the effects of these models are studied in a uniaxial stress simulations, a plate impact simulations, and a quasistatic notched round bar tensile test simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 573 EP - 576 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - U-Nb(6-wt%) exhibits plastic yield strength of a few-tenths of a GPa that can vary depending upon the starting microstructure and heat-treatment. However, when a several-mm thick specimen of U-Nb(6-wt%) is shock loaded in the range between 1.5 and 10 GPa, no elastic precursor is observed in interferometer measurements at the rear free surface. The absence of the elastic precursor and other features of the compression and release measurements are explained by assuming shear stress-relaxation rate is dependent upon the shear stress. The resulting stress waves are unsteady and broaden so that shear stress relaxation can occur in the front preventing the plastic yield point from being reached. U-Nb(6-wt%) is known to twin in quasi-static compression and shear-induced, rate-dependent twinning is likely the underlying cause for shear stress relaxation in our experiments. Recent experiments in which U-Nb(6-wt%) was heavily cold-rolled ( work-hardening to ∼25% strain) display no evidence of a precursor, admitting the possibility of a pressure or temperature induced stress-relaxation process. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Laser-driven flyer impact experiments were used to verify the EOS and to measure the elastic precursor wave as a function of crystal orientation. Shocks induced by direct laser irradiation were used to investigate the elastic precursor and to demonstrate that the imaging VISAR system had a temporal resolution adequate to distinguish between different orientations.

For both kinds of steel the results obtained in the plane shock tests under uniaxial strain condition show approximately the identical yield stress values as those obtained in Taylor tests. Cracking of maraging steel occurs along the shock-induced austenite bands where microhardness is much smaller than that for the rest of the matrix. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Shocked specimens were recovered and characterized to study cracking and slip behavior. In addition, the crystallographic orientation of the tested samples was studied using Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM). Results indicate that direct laser-driven shocks in monocrystals induce cracking on {110} planes, with a high crack density for <100> samples and a low crack density for <110> and <111> specimens. The crack density was much higher on the impact side. In one bicrystal, a Grain Boundary Affected Zone (GBAZ) was observed close to the boundary in one grain, where both cracking and slip were present, whereas no cracking or slip traces were observed in the other grain. OIM revealed that specimens developed gradients of orientation due to bowing of the foil caused by the impact. The changes in the speed of sound across the inclined interface correlated with the cracking mode, i.e., a shock propagating from a “slow” to a “fast” grain resulted in intergranular cracks, whereas the reverse resulted in transgranular cracks. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Pressures ranging from 20 GPa to 60 GPa are achieved. The shocked samples are recovered and the residual defect substructure is analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Results show systematic differences depending on orientation and stacking fault energy. Samples with orientations [001] are symmetrical with simultaneous activation of eight slip systems. This leads to a higher work hardening rate. The [134] orientation is asymmetrical with one dominating slip system, and thus a reduced work hardening rate due to a prolonged easy glide region for dislocations. These differences in work hardening response affect the stresses required to achieve the twinning threshold pressure. The effects of stacking fault energy on the defect substructure and threshold twinning are also characterized. Experimental results are rationalized in terms of a constitutive description of the slip-twinning transition using a modified MTS equation. Differences in the mechanical response of the orientations and the chemical compositions are responsible for differences in the shear stress in the specimens at the imposed pressures and associated strains. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This distribution will translate in stress space under loading, and growth of the distribution can be included in the model as well. This proposed model is capable of duplicating the key features of a set of reshock and release experiments on 6061-T6 aluminum, many of which are not captured by classical plasticity. The model is relatively simple, is only moderately more computationally intensive, and requires few additional material parameters. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A forced shear technique using “hat-shaped” specimens on a compression split-Hopkinson bar was utilized. The mechanical responses at two different strain rates showed that the shock pre-strained specimens exhibit much higher yield stresses but much lower strain hardening effects than those in the annealed steel. The dynamic shear responses indicate that the shear stress in the shock pre-strained steel arrived at the instable point at much smaller plastic strain than the annealed steel. The initial microstructures in these two materials exhibit significant differences of textures and defects that may dominate the initiation of shear bands. The pre-shocked steel, which contains more deformation twins, was found to display a higher propensity to trigger localized deformation than the annealed steel. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This paper presents the results of molecular dynamics simulations that identify the deformation modes of aluminum over a range of applied shear stresses and examines the interaction between dislocations and irradiation induced obstacles. These simulations show that while super-sonic dislocation motion can occur during impact loading, the finite dimensions of the materials render this motion transient. Larger applied loads do not stabilize supersonic dislocations, but instead lead an alternate deformation mode, namely twinning. Finally, the atomistic mechanisms that underlie the observed changes in the mechanical properties of metals as a function of irradiation are examined. Specifically, simulations of the interactions between moving edge dislocations and nanometer-sized helium bubbles provide insight into increases of the critical shear stresses but also reveal the effect of internal gas pressure on the deformation mode. The information gained in these studies provides fundamental insight into materials behavior, as well as important inputs for multi-scale models of materials deformation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These experiments are being carried out on a two-stage gas-gun (50 mm bore) with a Kel-F 81 impactor at velocities between 1.5 and 3.1 km/s. Particle and shock velocity measurements are made with magnetic gauges by inserting the gauge package (0.001 inches thick) between layers of 2.3 mm thick foam. Special attention is required for assembly of these targets due to the foam’s low strength. To minimize compression and gaps at interfaces, the foams are positioned between support rings, which are machined to match the foam’s thickness. The Hugoniot data from these experiments is compared to unpublished data obtained with explosively driven flyers at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the early 1980’s. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Measurements of the longitudinal stress with gauges at different positions within the shock assembly have determined the Hugoniot in terms of shock stress, shock velocity and particle velocity. It has been shown that the shock velocity has a simple linear response to particle velocity, in common with many but not all polymers. Measurements of lateral stress show a decrease behind the shock front, implying an increase in shear strength, possibly due to the viscoplastic nature of PEEK. Shear strength was also observed to increase with shock stress. A break in slope was observed at ca. 1.0 GPa, indicating a divergence between elastic and inelastic behaviour. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Peak pressures in these experiments range from a few kbars to over 10 kbars, as well as one shot completed at 117 kbar. Multiple particle velocity wave profiles, at a number of Langrangian positions, are obtained for each experiment using in-situ magnetic gauges. Shock velocity is calculated from arrival times at both the particle velocity gauges and at embedded shock trackers. These direct measurements of particle and shock velocity are compared to previous shock compression results on Teflon. Particular attention is focused in the region below 10 kbar where evidence of a shock induced phase transition has been reported, based upon a cusp in the Hugoniot. The volume change for this transition is only ∼ 2.2 % making its observation difficult. A two-wave structure on the shock front would be strong evidence of the shock-induced transition, but has not been observed in these initial low-pressure experiments. However, the Hugoniot data does show a subtle cusp between two of these shots at pressures of 6.4 and 7.9 kbar. The presence of the cusp is consistent with existing data, but appears at slightly higher pressure. Additionally, the in-situ particle velocity gauges show an evolving wave front, which is likely associated with Teflon’s visco-elastic properties. The wave front is initially steep, but rounds significantly after the wave has propagated several millimeters into the target. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Device performance is strongly influenced by the shock compression and release properties of the encapsulant, which must be adequately understood in order to develop a capability for numerically simulating the operation of these power sources. In previous studies, Hugoniot states and release velocities were measured in reverse-impact experiments using laser interferometry (VISAR) at stresses up to 5 GPa. In addition, wave profiles were obtained in transmitted-wave experiments at fixed impact conditions as a function of initial temperature. These experiments showed an extended wave structure having a rise time that increased with decreasing temperature. In recent studies, Hugoniot states and release velocities at stresses up to 10 GPa have been obtained in reverse-impact experiments. Transmitted-wave experiments have examined the effects of wave amplitude on the wave structure and also the evolution of this structure with increasing propagation distance. Unsteady wave propagation with strongly viscous behavior is observed over the range of shock conditions examined. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We review the effects of failure waves, comminuted phase, and compaction on the validity of the Mie-Grüneisen EOS. The specific heat and the Grüneisen parameter at standard conditions for a ρ0 = 5.085 g/cm3 glass (“Glass A”) is then estimated to be 522 mJ/g/K and 0.1 – 0.3, respectively. The latter value is substantially smaller than the value of 2.1751 given in the SESAME tables for a high-density glass with ρ0 = 5.46 g/cm3. The present unusual value of the Grüneisen parameter is confirmed from the volume dependence determined from fitting the Mie-Grüneisen EOS to shock data in Ref.

Velocity interferometry was used to measure loading, unloading, and reloading profiles from the initial shocked state. These results show that alumina retains considerable strength at stress states exceeding 120 GPa. An important observation, as with some metals, is that there is a substantial increase in strength during reloading and a well-defined elastic behavior is observed.

While these features can be characterized for the raw material, little is known about how they are altered during pressing. For example, in the preparation of a consolidated charge of PBX 9501, variables such as ultimate pressure, number of pressing cycles, dwell time, or rest time are varied in order to achieve nominal density of 1.830 g/cc. Although this density is met, differences in pressing parameters can lead to variations in microstructure between samples. To evaluate the effect of pressing parameters on the microstructure, three cylinders of PBX 9501 have been pressed at 5 kpsi, 15 kpsi, and 30 kpsi, using a 100 Ton heated steel die press. Polarized light microscopy (PLM) images taken at 144 locations within each cylinder show differences in porosity, crystal size and size distribution between cylinders and at different locations within the same cylinder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) further verifies increased fracture and rubblization of HMX during pressing. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Of the four possible candidates (radiation, convection, conduction, and acoustic/compaction), these preliminary studies identify convection as the most likely. However, the extent of contribution of the other modes is not yet known and this will receive further study. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The hydrodynamic basis of this effect can be understood by examining the pressure/streamline-deflection matching condition at the HE/inert interface. A relatively simple shock polar analysis provides a good leading-order prediction of the confinement effect on a propagating detonation. Here, studies of various detonation-inert confinement interactions are examined for PBX 9502. From a theoretical perspective, the appropriate shock polar analysis is carried out for several inerts of interest. It is shown that the phase speed of the shock along the HE/inert interface can play a role in the matching — which isn’t the case in the previous analysis for strong shocks in ideal gases. From an experimental perspective, we analyze the results of PBX 9502 sandwich tests, where the confining inert is changed from theoretically unconfined (polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)—plexiglas) to heavily confined (stainless steel (SS 304)). These experimental results are compared to theoretical predictions based on Detonation Shock Dynamics (DSD). © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A novel method for the preparation of both fine-particle NTO (UF-NTO) and its formulation with Al nanopowder has been developed. Results from small-scale sensitivity tests on both the UF-NTO and aluminized NTO composite indicated that they are insensitive to impact, friction and HESD. The performance of both UF-NTO and NTO/Al mix was evaluated by detonation-spreading floret tests. At the same pressed density, it was found that, when initiated by a 3-mm-diameter flyer plate, the aluminized NTO composite produced a shallower dent on a copper witness plate than neat UF-NTO and thus was inferior to UF-NTO in detonation spreading. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We use reactive flow models that include temperature as well as mechanical state to investigate shock initiation in nitromethane. We describe the construction of an unreacted equation of state to provide the accurate temperatures required to support a temperature dependent reaction rate within a reactive flow model. A quasiharmonic form based on the Grüneisen equations of state normalized to shock wave data but with a more rigorous treatment of thermal modes was used. A thermochemical model was used for the reaction products. The Arrhenius reaction parameters reported in the literature reproduced experimental data within this model, without adjustment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We find that for strong shocks (particles velocity of 3 km/s) very small gaps (2 nm) lead to important over-heating (∼ 1000 K). This over-heating facilitates chemical reactions and leads to a larger production of small molecules (such as NO2, NO, OH) than in perfect crystals shocked with the same strength. The chemical reactions occur after the void has collapsed and the ejected material re-compressed rather than when hot molecules are ejected out of the downstream surface. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Two types of pathological chemical reaction zones have been identified within the Zeldovich - von Neumann - Doring (ZND) model: an exothermic chemical decomposition with a mole decrease from the von Neumann spike state to the C-J state; and an exothermic reaction followed by an endothermic reaction (eigenvalue detonation). The high temperatures reached in detonation reaction zones cause sufficient radial and atom formation to insure that enough moles are formed in gaseous 2H2 + O2 detonations. Aluminized explosives exhibit a slight mole decrease when the solid aluminum particles are oxidized, but this does not negate the large mole increase that occurs during explosive decomposition. Porous solid explosives whose products form with more cold compression energy than that of the solid are still a possibility for pathological detonation. Eigenvalue detonations have been postulated for H2 + Cl2 gas phase detonations and for plastic bonded solid explosives if endothermic binder decomposition follows exothermic explosive decomposition. Chemical kinetic and physical arguments are presented to eliminate these possible pathological detonations. In the case of H2 + Cl2, highly vibrationally excited HCl molecules dissociate Cl2 molecules during the exothermic portion of the reaction zone rather than later in the flow process. In the plastic bonded explosives, the binders are located on the surfaces of explosive particles and thus are exposed to hot spots created by the three-dimensional Mach stem shock front. Any remaining binder material rapidly reacts in collisions with the high, vibrationally excited reaction products formed during explosive decomposition. Therefore eigenvalue detonations are extremely unlikely to occur in gaseous, liquid or solid explosives. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this paper we examine characteristics of common natural and industrial grit particles. They are observed in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. The fine particles can easily migrate around a facility and potentially become embedded in explosive surfaces. To study the effects of grit particles on ignition behavior we identify a simple configuration of particles cutting or grooving adjacent metal surfaces. We then present a process for analyzing the ignition characteristics. Estimates of the effective flow and fracture strength of the metals and explosive composites, on a scale of 1 to 100 microns, are used in chip forming models to calculate chip temperatures. Ignition characteristics are studied using a reactive heat transfer model of individual chips, as cut by grit particles, and held against an explosive surface. The models indicate that very small particles can cause ignition of adjacent explosives given the temperatures resulting from the chip forming process. These simulations are summarized in terms of non-dimensional variables. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The reaction accelerated a steel cover plate across a 10 cm gap into a preheated gauged acceptor cylinder (near its theoretical maximum density) of LX-04. The carbon resistor gauges in the acceptor measured the resulting multi-dimensional ramp wave as it propagated through the pre-heated LX-04. Detonation of the LX-04 acceptor does not occur.

It was formulated because of the expense of manufacturing TATB. Experiments were performed on a two stage gas gun at Los Alamos. Samples were prepared with ten or eleven embedded electromagnetic particle velocity gauges to measure the evolution of the wave leading up to a detonation. Additionally, one to three shock tracker gauges were used to track the position of the shock front with time and determine the point where detonation was achieved. Analysis yielded particle velocity - shock velocity (US -uP) Hugoniot points and run distances and times to detonation as a function of initial pressure. All results are consistent with previously published results on a different lot of Virgin PBX 9502 which were obtained with different experimental techniques. No significant differences in the shock sensitivity of the two formulations were observed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The test consists of a rate stick composed of 12.7 mm diameter by 12.7 mm high pellets of different densities ordered from lowest to highest, with ignition occurring at the low-density end of the stick. This “Poly-rho” test yields detonation velocities over a range of densities using only the small amount of the explosive typically generated by the synthetic organic chemist at an early stage of the scale-up process. The amount of material required is far less than that required for the typical rate stick series. Poly-rho tests on two explosives commonly used at Los Alamos National Laboratory, PBX 9501 and PBX 9502, were conducted and the results compared with empirical detonation-theory predictions and others’ explosive experiments. There was good agreement in both cases. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Adsorption isotherms were obtained by pressure measurements using Krypton at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The data were analyzed to obtain the specific area of the samples. We observed a particle size dependence in the HMX crystals with small crystals having specific areas consistent with a solid geometric particle with the aspect ratio of an oblate spheroid. The larger particles, however, had specific areas above those predicted by the simple geometric surface area. This implies that the surface area of the larger particles is dominated by internal porosity and is relatively independent of particle size above approximately 100 micron diameter. The specific area of PBX 9501 was measured and agreed with that predicted by a calculation based on the particle size distribution and measured specific area of the component crystals. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Perfection and orientation are confirmed through optical techniques and transmission Laue X-ray diffraction. Gas-gun impact experiments were performed on three orientations of HMX crystals. The experiments measured decay of the elastic precursor shock along the (110), (011), and (010) planes. The results show that the (010) plane has higher strength and lower decay rates, by a factor of almost 2, than the other two. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1029 EP - 1032 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Plastic bonded explosives (PBX) generally consist of 85–95 % by weight energetic material, such as HMX, and 5–15 % polymeric binder. Understanding of the structure and morphology at elevated temperatures and pressures is important for predicting of PBX behavior in accident scenarios. The crystallographic behavior of pure HMX has been measured as functions of temperature and grain size. The investigation is extended to the high temperature behavior of PBX 9501 (95% HMX, 2.5 % Estane, 2.5 % BDNPA/F). The results show that the HMX β- to δ-phase transition in PBX 9501 is similar to that in neat HMX. However, in the presence of the PBX 9501 binder, δ-phase HMX readily converts back to β-phase during cooling. Using the same temperature profile, the conversion rate decreases for each subsequent heating and cooling cycle. As observed in earlier experiments, no reverse conversion is observed without the polymer binder. It is proposed that the reversion of δ-phase to β-phase is due to changes in the surface molecular potential caused by the influence of the polymer binder on the δ-phase. Upon thermal cycling, the polymer binder segregates from the HMX particles and thus reduces the influence of the binder on the surface molecules. This segregation increases the resistance for the δ-phase to β-phase transition, as demonstrated in an aged PBX 9501 material for which the reversion is not observed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Two types of experiments were done: 1) PBX9501 was impacted with a higher impedance projectile and the interface particle velocity history was measured using a magnetic gauge glued to the HE front; 2) a PBX9501 disc was mounted in the front of a projectile that impacted a LiF window and velocity interferometers (VISAR) were used to measure the impact interface particle velocity history. Inputs to the PBX9501 ranged from 3 to 15 GPa in these experiments. Particle velocity waveforms show an induction time followed by a particle velocity change (the nature of the change depends on the type of experiment) corresponding to shock-induced reaction in the PBX9501. The induction part of the waveform provided unreacted Hugoniot information so several new high-pressure Hugoniot points were generated. These data do not indicate a softening in the unreacted Hugoniot at high pressures; more experiments will be necessary to determine this. By using an estimate for the reaction product EOS, it was possible to estimate the average PBX9501 initial reaction rate for each experiment. The induction time decreases with pressure and the reaction rate increases with pressure. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This is necessary in order to be able to predict the behavior of material that has been subjected to a known temperature trajectory. We have begun by studying the mechanism of the initial solid state phase transition between the beta and delta phases of HMX. This leads to a volume expansion and a large degree of mechanical damage in the material. On continued heating above the solid-solid phase transition, a solid to gas transformation occurs. We have monitored the solid to gas transition as a function of isothermal temperature and particle size in order to address mechanistic questions concerning chemical production of gas phase species by surface regression or internal pore formation. We have also performed experiments to characterize the morphology changes in the material caused by the loss of solid mass. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1041 EP - 1044 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Predicting the degree of violence of high explosive (HE) reactions for a given event is desirable for risk assessments and a goal for computational models. Historically, different types of low amplitude impact tests on HE specimens have been performed to determine the critical impact-velocity threshold for high explosive violent reactions (HEVR). Additionally, the energy release relative to a steady-state detonation is also desirable for assessing the potential outcome of an accidental event. Traditionally, blast gauge measurements have been used to measure the overpressure of the HEVR event at a defined distance. This paper summarizes the use of this active technique coupled with a passive technique to derive average energy release curves for Modified Steven tests. A classic ballistic pendulum design was employed with the traditional blast gauge method. Calibration of the ballistic pendulum involved three elements. First, two mechanical measurements were related to the actual peak swing of the pendulum. Second, the general nature of the swing versus energy release curve was estimated. Two different approaches were used to estimate the momenta as a function of HE energy release using the Gurney relationships for an unsymmetrical sandwich. Finally, both techniques were simultaneously benchmarked with PBX 9501 calibration charges. Test results demonstrate the utility of using coupled diagnostic methods for low amplitude insult testing. Each set of data was fit to derive a working curve for the determination of the average energy release for HEVR event based on mass relative to a steady-state detonation. These tests results and working curve derivations are presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

To determine heated reaction thresholds, Steven Test targets containing PBX 9404 or LX-04 samples heated to the range of 150–170°C were impacted at velocities up to 150 m/s by two different projectile head geometries. Comparing these measured thresholds to ambient temperature thresholds revealed that the heated LX-04 thresholds were considerably higher than ambient, whereas the heated PBX 9404 thresholds were only slightly higher than the ambient temperature thresholds. The violence of reaction level of the PBX 9404 was considerably higher than that of the LX-04 as measured with four overpressure gauges. The varying results in these samples with different HMX/binder configurations indicate that friction plays a dominant role in reaction ignition during impact. This work outlines the experimental details, compares the thresholds and violence levels of the heated and ambient temperature experiments, and discusses the dominant mechanisms of the measured thresholds. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Shock Sensitivity of LX-04 Containing Delta Phase HMX at Elevated Temperatures. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1053 EP - 1056 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - LX-04 is a widely used HMX-based plastic bonded explosive, which contains 85 weight % HMX and 15 weight % Viton binder. The sensitivity of LX-04 to a single stimulus such as heat, impact, and shock has been previously studied. However, hazard scenarios can involve multiple stimuli, such as heating to temperatures close to thermal explosion conditions followed by fragment impact, producing a shock in the hot explosive. The sensitivity of HMX at elevated temperatures is further complicated by the beta to delta solid-state phase transition, which occurs at approximately 165°C. This paper presents the results of shock initiation experiments conducted with LX-04 preheated to 190°C, as well as density measurements and small scale safety test results of the δ phase HMX at room temperature. This work shows that LX-04 at 190°C is more shock sensitive than LX-04 at 150°C or 170°C due to the volume increase during the β to δ solid phase transition, which creates more hot spots, and the faster growth of reaction during shock compression. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One such scenario is the impact of energetic material by a transportation hook during shipping, which offers complexity because of the irregular hook projectile shape. Experiments were performed using gauged Steven Test targets with PBX9404 impacted by a transportation hook projectile to compliment previous non-gauged experiments that established an impact threshold of approximately 69 m/s. Modeling of these experiments was performed with LS-DYNA code using an Ignition and Growth reaction criteria with a friction term. Comparison of the experiment to the model shows reasonable agreement with some details requiring more attention. The experimental results (including carbon resistor gauge records), model calculations, and a discussion of the dominant reaction mechanisms in light of comparisons between experiment and model will be presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Unfortunately, little is known concerning the detailed chemical kinetics of detonations in energetic materials. CHEETAH uses rate laws to treat species with the slowest chemical reactions, while assuming other chemical species are in equilibrium. CHEETAH supports a wide range of elements and condensed detonation products and can also be applied to gas detonations. A sparse hash table of equation of state values is used in CHEETAH to enhance the efficiency of kinetic reaction calculations. For large-scale parallel hydrodynamic calculations, CHEETAH uses parallel communication to updates to the cache. We present here details of the sparse caching model used in the CHEETAH coupled to an ALE hydrocode. To demonstrate the efficiency of modeling using a sparse cache model we consider detonations in energetic materials. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Shock Dispersion in Composite Material with Polymer Binder. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1073 EP - 1076 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Many composite materials consist of elastic particles held together by a soft polymeric binder. Usually, the stress in the binder is strain rate dependent. Although in many cases the binder only occupies a few percent of the volume of the material, the macroscopic strain and strain rate of the composite come mainly from the deformation of the binder. For this reason, the strain and strain rate experienced by the binder are usually an order of magnitude larger than the macroscopic strain and strain rate of the composite, and the composite is more sensitive to the strain rate than the binder itself. To model shock wave propagation in the composite, it is essential to correctly account for the stress relaxation in the polymer. Modeling polymer behavior undergoing high strain rate deformations has been a challenge for many conventional polymer models. Recently, based on non-equilibrium deformation of polymer segments, a new constitutive relation for polymer gels has been developed. A distinguishing feature of the new polymer model is that for a short time, the stress relaxation kernel is inversely proportional to the square root of time. The kernel asymptotes to an exponentially decaying function only for long relaxation times. Based on the newly developed polymer model, a simple model for the particle-binder composite is obtained. Numerical simulations are carried out to compare shock wave profiles obtained from plate impact experiments at various shock strengths. Excellent agreements are found. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Conceptually, changes in the diffraction line, including broadening and shifts, provide details about the nature of compression, plasticity, phase, and kinetics of the phase transition for the material being shock-loaded. In practice, X-ray source brightness, sample preparation, and turn-around times have limited the applicability to a few crystalline systems. We report our development of an ultrafast X-ray diffraction instrument suitable for studying rapid phase changes, including both solid-solid and solid-melt, in shock-loaded materials. Due to the relatively small sample sizes needed and to the ability to conduct thousands of shock physics experiments with these small samples, we can build up the statistics required to study elastic-plastic transitions, the kinetics of phase changes, as well as the mechanistic details of phase changes in nearly all materials, including high-Z samples. An overview of the technique and our initial source characterization are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Since the particle velocity can be measured along a line, half the line measured the acceleration of the flyer plate as well as the effect of the impact on the window. The other half of the line measured the jump in particle velocity upon impact with the window because the window was mirrored on that half. This provided information about the flyer velocity and two independent measurements of the interface particle velocity resulting from the flyer impact. Hugoniot data for copper flyers were obtained. In addition, the flatness of the flyer plate during its acceleration and the effect of this flatness on the Hugoniot data obtained are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Through detailed analysis of experimental data using ALEGRA, we developed a 2D, predictive MHD model for simulating material science experiments on Z. The ALEGRA MHD model accurately produces measured time dependent flyer velocities. Details of the ALEGRA model are presented. Simulation and experimental results are compared and contrasted for shots using standard and shaped current pulses whose peak drive pressure is ∼2 Mb. Isentropic compression of Al to 1.7 Mb is achieved by shaping the current pulse. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Results from interferometric measurements as a function of shock strength over the range 2–20 GPa illustrate that 625 nm polymethylmethacrylate films have the same material response to shock loading (Hugoniot) as macroscopic samples shocked with traditional plane wave generation techniques (from literature).

Our goal is the creation of ideal crystalline iron samples for shock physics experiments using ultrafast x-ray diffraction. There are several reasons for the choice of the Fe/MgO system. Iron is known to undergo shock-induced structural changes, and MgO is selected because it is a) transparent to the laser light used to generate the shock in the Fe film and b) there is only a 4% lattice mismatch between Fe and MgO. Issues such as generating a specific crystallographic orientation in the iron film and technical challenges in the synthetic process are discussed. The ultimate goal for producing a single crystal Fe film on MgO is to allow the merger of theory and experiment. A new ultrafast x-ray diffraction experiment will permit the detection of laser-driven shock-induced phase changes in the crystalline Fe samples. These experiments will complement an elegant MD investigation of a shocked Fe crystal.p. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Constructed in 2000 and commissioned in August 2001, Atlas completed its first year of physics experiments in October 2002, using ultra high precision magnetically imploded, cylindrical liners to reliably and reproducibly convert electrical energy to hydrodynamic energy in targets whose volume is many cubic centimeters. Multi-view (transverse and axial) radiography, laser-illuminated shadowgraphy, and VISAR measurements of liner and target surface motion, in addition to electrical diagnostics, provide a detailed description of the behavior of the experimental package. In the first year material damage and failure experiments, dynamic friction experiments, and a family of converging shock experiments were conducted in addition to a detailed series of liner implosion characterization experiments. These experiments will continue and additional series to evaluate material strength at very high rates of strain, ejecta formation from surfaces, and instability growth at interfaces will be added in the future. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In situ time-dependent X-ray diffraction, which allows direct measurement of lattice spacings, can be used to investigate such phenomena. This paper presents recent experimental results of X-ray diffraction from shocked fcc crystals.

A cylindrical configuration can provide megabar-level loads on an annulus of the sample material. Data will be provided by velocity interferometers that measure free-surface (or possibly interface) particle velocities. Differing sample thicknesses using stepped or conical geometries yield experimental efficiency by allowing multiple data records on single shots. With the p/α model for porous materials, the one-dimensional Lagrangian hydrocode WONDY provides the needed analyses. Based on static data, both power-law and quadratic crush curves are employed. Within the model constraints, we suggest that the most important parameter for characterizing the material is the crush strength, ps. With adequate sample thicknesses, the planned velocity measurements differentiate among the various assumptions for ps. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These functionally graded density impactors are composed of materials whose densities vary from about 0.1 g/cc to more than 15 g/cc. The density profile of these impactors can be tailored to generate specifically prescribed thermodynamic paths in the samples. These paths include quasi-isentropes as well as combinations of shocks, releases and quasi-isentropic compressions. The time-scale of these experiments ranges from nanoseconds to several microseconds. The strain-rates in the quasi-isentropic compression experiments vary from approximately 104s-1 to 106s-1. We applied the quasi-isentropic compression technique to study resolidification of molten bismuth and water. In the water experiments, the observed particle velocity exhibits a two-wave structure and the water-ice phase transition time scales consistently with the sample thickness. Hydrodynamic simulations also suggest resolidification of bismuth. However, the calculated sound velocities of bismuth need further investigation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Our prototype system comprises a flat-plate explosive driven magnetic flux compression generator (FCG), an explosively formed fuse (EFF) opening switch, and a series of explosively-actuated closing switches. The FCG is capable of producing ∼10 MA into suitable loads, and, at a length of 216 mm, the EFF will sustain voltages in excess of 200 kV. The load has an inductance of ∼3 to 10 nH, allowing up to ∼7 MA to be delivered in times of ∼0.5 μs. This prototype will produce isentropic compression profiles in excess of 2 Mbar in a material such as tungsten. We will obtain isentropic EOS data for copper at pressures up to ∼1.5 Mbar with the prototype system, immediately after this conference; eventually we plan to reach several tens of Mbar with larger, more advanced systems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This is accomplished by obtaining vibrational spectra via Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy in conjunction with CW laser heating using a tungsten toroid as a laser target. By the simultaneous use of these techniques, vibrational spectra with relatively high signal to noise can be obtained despite the enormous thermal background generated by the incandescence of extremely hot laser heated material. Temperatures can be measured not only by fitting the Planck radiation to a graybody, but by the spectroscopic evidence of a Boltzmann distribution of molecules in their vibrationally excited quantum levels. Additionally, this technique allows for obtaining data at pressures and temperatures outside the region between the shock hugoniot and isentrope, complementing shock wave experiments. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The ca. 1 μm thin energetic polymer films were spin cast onto a thin (ca. 1 μm) aluminum shock driving layer, which had been vapor deposited onto a transparent substrate. A temporally-shaped ultrafast laser pulse was used to drive sustained shocks (10–20 ps rise, ∼200 ps at constant pressure) via laser ablation at the substrate/aluminum interface. The ultrafast infrared probing pulses, produced by optical parametric amplification and difference frequency generation techniques, provided ∼250 cm-1 coverage at ∼150 fs pulse length. The IR probe was split into reference and sample beams. The sample beam was reflected through the shocked energetic material, and both sample and reference beams were focused onto the slit of a small imaging IR spectrometer and then detected using a HgCdTe focal plane array. Reference spectra were used to normalize the sample absorption spectrum. Time-resolved changes of the absorption spectra were obtained by stepping the shock drive/probe time delay. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Sapphire is an interesting anvil, but is also known to emit light when shocked above its Hugoniot Elastic Limit (HEL). To study its optical response, we have carried out experiments in the 15–37 GPa pressure range on c-cut sapphire in contact with a metallic sample (tin or bismuth) or a lithium fluoride window. Even though a significant amount of light is emitted by sapphire, we notice that the signal rise is directly related to the volume of sapphire under shock-loading. Consequently, the window emission can be subtracted to infer the thermal radiation originating from the metal under study. A theoretical calculation of the expected pyrometer signals supports that point of view. These results give evidence that sapphire, despite its shock-induced optical emission above the HEL, can be used as a transparent anvil for quantitative pyrometry measurements at medium and high shock pressures. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Currently, high-speed optical pyrometry seems to be the best way to perform this measurement. This is a challenge for any metal, particularly so at low shock pressures and for temperatures below 1000 K since, in this case, thermal flux is mostly emitted in the infrared spectrum where metal emissivities are generally low. An example of an optimized experimental design is presented, in which the strong optical background generally present in such experiments is eliminated. Moreover, when studying metals, pyrometry accuracy is mainly limited by the fact that the emissivity of the shock-loaded sample is not known accurately. As a result, we show how a careful choice of pyrometer wavelengths can minimize the effect of emissivity uncertainty. Finally, a recently developed technique based on integrated reflectometry allows measuring the sample surface emissivity during the experiment. It leads to a significant improvement on temperature accuracy and can be a means to detect phase transitions. Results on bismuth and tin are presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These penetrating impacts produce debris clouds that are subsequently allowed to stagnate against downstream witness plates. Velocity histories from this latter plate are used to infer the evolution and propagation of the debris cloud. This analysis, which is a companion to a parallel experimental effort, examined both numerical and physics-based issues. We conclude that numerical resolution and convergence are important in ways we had not anticipated. The calculated release from the extreme states generated by the initial impact shows discrepancies with related experimental observations, and indicates that even for well-known materials (e.g., aluminum), high-temperature failure criteria are not well understood, and that non-equilibrium or rate-dependent equations of state may be influencing the results. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

During the implosion of an inertial confinement fusion capsule, it is possible for instabilities to be seeded from the microstructure. We are using experiment and theory to place constraints on the microstructure and loading history. The relation between surface roughness and amplitude of ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities has been characterized well. Here we present a method of relating the microstructure to an equivalent surface roughness, using continuum mechanical simulations of shock waves in polycrystalline beryllium. Beryllium was treated using a single-crystal plasticity model developed using ab initio quantum mechanics for the equation of state and elasticity, and laser-driven shock wave measurements to calibrate representations of dislocation and disclination dynamics. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Time resolved laser shadowgraphy is used to dynamically image an Atlas generated liner-target radial shock implosion in water with 2-D imaging detail that provides benchmark results for numerical hydro-code validation efforts at Los Alamos. Theoretical interest in these shock experiments arises since the shock propagation velocity is modified as shock-strengthening effects are predicted to occur as material flow approaches the region of on-axis convergence. Our laser shadowgraph measurements capture eight separate image frames of shockwave motion in the water with an overall spatial and temporal resolution of ±0.25 mm and 10 ns, respectively. Imaging of the shockwave radial shape and position inside the water volume allows for quantitative comparison with numerical simulations. A linear fit to the average radius 1-D shockwave trajectory plot yields a shock speed in the water of 6.65 mm/μs corresponding to a Mach 4 shock. Comparison of the measured shockwave trajectory with the numerical hydrodynamic simulation codes is performed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The model is similar in approach to that of Anderson and Ahrens (J. Geophys. Res., 99 El, 2063–2071, Jan. 1994) and accounts for drag, aerogel compaction heating, and the velocity threshold for shrapnel ablation due to conductive heating. Model predictions are correlated with the BB gun results at impact velocities up to a few hundred m/s and with NASA data for impact velocities up to 6 km/s. The model shows promising agreement with the data and will be used to plan and interpret future experiments. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Compared with experiments on much thicker samples, relatively strong elastic precursors were observed, though these could be caused by the strong texture of the foils rather than the shorter time scale. There was also evidence for the onset of the bcc to hcp phase transition, starting close to the static phase boundary. Radiation hydrodynamics and continuum mechanical simulations were performed to interpret the velocity data, comparing several equations of state with polymorphism and strength. The data were consistent with a phase change rate of the order of 109/s, driven by superpressurization of about 5 GPa. The rate may also depend on texture. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Determination of the critical surface position is important for understanding near solid density plasma dynamics and transport from warm dense matter systems, and for diagnosing short scale length plasma expansion and hydrodynamic surface motion from short pulse, laser-heated, solid targets. Instead of inferring critical surface motion from spectral power shifts using a time-delayed probe pulse or from phase shifts using ultrafast pump-probe frequency domain interferometry (FDI), this technique directly measures surface displacement using a single ultrafast laser heating pulse. Our technique is based on an application of a Michelson Stellar interferometer to microscopic rather than stellar scales, and we report plasma scale length motion as small as 10 nm. We will present results for motion of plasmas generated from several target materials (Au, Al, Au on CH plastic) for a laser pulse intensity range from 1011 to 1016 W/cm2. Varying both, the pulse duration and the pulse energy, explores the dependence of the expansion mechanism on the energy deposited and on the peak intensity. Comparisons with hydrocodes reveal the applicability of hydrodynamic models. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One camera was placed above the target and another on the side, both at 20° from the beam axis. Data from a known three-dimensional calibration target was acquired and used to normalize the projectile data by removing magnification, camera angle drift, and other system variables. The target was also used to determine the displacement along the beam axis from parallax. A Q-switched laser producing 8-ns FWHM pulses was projected through a grid to illuminate the projectile at a designated time during flight. The resultant data was analyzed to produce a three-dimensional representation of the projectile at that time in the projectile flight. Results discussed include projectile flatness and tilt, and issues with plasma containment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The efficacy of laser shock generation depends on several factors including laser-target coupling, laser pulse temporal shape and intensity, and the resultant pressure profile generated at the target surface. Target coupling is a dynamic mechanism that changes as the target surface evolves due to heating, ionization and ablation during laser irradiation. Confining a metal target surface using a transparent “tamper” material can increase the impulse transferred to the target, but also can cause decoupling of the laser energy from the target as the heated tamper begins to move the laser absorption region away from the metal surface. We have analyzed this process using the radiation hydrodynamics code Lasnex in an attempt to simulate experiments using planar targets and determine the coupling efficiency versus tamper material properties. Good agreement with experimental measurements of the shock pressure in Al and PMMA were obtain using laser absorption values of 40%. Dielectric tamping of the laser absorption increased the shock pressures by factors of 2 to 3. Further increases in pressure into the megabar regime were obtained inside the tamping dielectric as a radiatively-coupled ionization wave propagated back toward the laser. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The laser irradiance was tailored to generate shocks or quasi-isentropic compression. The experiments include novel diagnostic techniques with high temporal resolution: transient x-ray diffraction (TXD) and polarization-dependent reflectivity (ellipsometry). TXD uses a laser-produced plasma to form an x-ray source. These x rays are collimated by a pinhole to form a Bragg scattering source, which allowed powder lines to be detected from polycrystalline samples such as beryllium foils. Ellipsometry has been demonstrated with 50 ps resolution using the reflectance of a pulsed 660 nm laser from silicon and tin samples through lithium fluoride windows. Ellipsometry can indicate phase changes and potentially yields estimates of surface temperature via the dielectric conductivity. The combination of TXD and ellipsometry with VISAR measurements provides precision characterization of dynamic material properties at high pressures. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The experiment consisted of a 2-cm-diameter explosive charge detonated in the center of a cylindrical rock sample. Radial particle velocity histories were recorded at several concentric locations in the sample. An extensively damaged region near the charge cavity and two networks of cracks were evident in the specimen after the test. The first network consists of radial cracks emanating form the cavity and extending about halfway through the specimen. The second network consists of circumferential cracks occurring in a relatively narrow band that extends from the outer boundary of the radially cracked region toward the free surface. The experiment was simulated using the GEODYN code and a multi-directional damage model. The model is developed within the framework of a properly invariant nonlinear thermomechanical theory with damage represented by a second order tensor that admits load-induced anisotropy such as was observed in the experiment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Much of the shock wave data reported for periclase is on porous material. We compared the theoretical EOS with porous data using a simple ‘snowplough’ treatment and also a model using finite equilibration rates suitable for continuum mechanics simulations. (This model has been applied previously to various heterogeneous explosives as well as other porous materials.) The results were consistent and matched the data well at pressures above the regime affected by strength — and ramp-wave formation — during compaction. Ab initio predictions of the response of porous material have been cited recently as a novel and advanced capability; we feel that this is a fairly routine extension to established ab initio techniques. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1462 EP - 1465 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Baneberry, a 10-kiloton nuclear event, was detonated at a depth of 278 m at the Nevada Test Site on December 18, 1970. Shortly after detonation, radioactive gases emanating from the cavity were released into the atmosphere through a shock-induced fissure near surface ground zero. Extensive geophysical investigations, coupled with a series of 1D and 2D computational studies were used to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to the catastrophic failure. However, the geological profile of the Baneberry site is complex and inherently three-dimensional, which meant that some geological features had to be simplified or ignored in the 2D simulations. This left open the possibility that features unaccounted for in the 2D simulations could have had an important influence on the eventual containment failure of the Baneberry event. This paper presents results from a high-fidelity 3D Baneberry simulation based on the most accurate geologic and geophysical data available. The results are compared with available data, and contrasted against the results of the previous 2D computational studies. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In practice, even the most sophisticated site characterization may lack key details regarding precise joint properties and orientations within the rock mass. Thus, in order to place bounds upon the predicted behavior of a given facility, an extensive series of simulations representing different realizations may be required. The influence of both construction parameters (reinforcement, rock bolts,liners) and geological parameters (joint stiffness, joint spacing and orientation, and tunnel diameter to block size ratio) must be considered. We will discuss the distinct element method (DEM) with particular emphasis on techniques for achieving improved computational efficiency, including the handling of contact detection and approaches to parallelization. We also outline the continuum approaches we employ to obtain boundary conditions for the distinct element simulations. Finally, our DEM code is used to simulate dynamic loading of a generic subterranean facility in hardrock, demonstrating the suitability of the DEM for this application. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/04/26/ VL - 706 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1500 EP - 1503 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The floret test was originally devised to permit comparison of detonation-spreading performance of various insensitive explosive materials, using only the dent in a copper witness plate as a metric. Dent depth in the copper plate is directly related to the fraction of a thin acceptor pellet that was detonated by impact of a small explosive-driven flyer plate. We have now added instrumentation to quantitatively measure the detonation corner-turning behavior of IHEs. Results of multi-fiber optical probe measurements are shown for LLM-105 and UF-TATB explosive materials. Results are interpreted and compared with predictions from one reaction-rate model used to describe detonation spreading, and may be advantageous for comparison with other reactive-flow wave-code models. Detonation spreading in UF-TATB occurred with formation of a non-detonating region surrounding a detonating core, and re-establishment of detonation in a “lateral” direction beyond that region. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We report first observations in squared elements indicating locally varying precessional frequencies which are in agreement with micromagnetic simulations.

These materials, which represent another example of nature’s engineered layered systems, exhibit astonishing dimensionality-dependence of their physical properties and a wealth of novel physical phenomena including unconventional superconductivity, ferromagnetism, metamagnetism, and quantum criticality. The distinct behavior displayed by these materials largely deviates from that seen in the more extensively studied 3d-electron systems and underscores the subtlety of electronic structures in the spatially extended 4d-electron systems. Research of these materials, which has recently attracted growing attention from the condensed matter physics community, opens an avenue to explore new physics unique to the 4d-electrons, and address fundamental issues common in correlated electron systems.

The specific heat versus temperature at constant magnetic field shows that the transition at T0=17 K is shifted to lower temperatures and sharpened when the magnetic field increases, and is completely suppressed at H≈35.5 T. Between ∼36 and ∼39 T we observe a new first-order anomaly in the specific heat versus temperature. Above 40 T a Schottky-like contribution develops. We also find evidence of metamagnetism at H≈38 T. In the close proximity of the metamagnetic transition we observe evidence of quantum critical behavior in the temperature dependence of the resistivity. We use our data to construct a revised (H,T) phase diagram for this fascinating compound.

By achieving good thermal coupling of the sample to the 3He and 4He baths, we obtained a realistic temperature-dependence for the 1/8, 1/4 and 1/3 magnetization plateaux. In addition, we measured the low temperature specific heat in continuous magnetic fields up to 18 T. We found that a contribution attributed to singlet spin–dimer excitations is suppressed with increasing magnetic fields. At fields H=12 T a second anomaly is evident that shifts to lower temperatures as the field increases. The second anomaly is attributed to triplet spin excitations that come closer to the ground state in presence of an external field. A linear extrapolation of this anomaly plotted versus field indicate that the gap associated to these excitations could be suppressed at H≈25 T, just before the 1/8 magnetization plateau.

Magnetization, M(T), measured on GdBaCo2O5+δ single crystals reveals significant anisotropy along different crystal orientations. M(T) data show several magnetic regimes associated with different Co3+ spin states as well as dramatic differences for H applied parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis. Below 100 K, the paramagnetic contribution from Gd dominates M(T) and analysis suggests the presence of weak (paramagnetic Weiss temperature of only a few Kelvin) antiferromagnetic correlations between Gd sites. A metal–insulator transition with TMI=365 K is visible in both the transport and magnetic susceptibility measurements and appears to be associated with a spin state transition for the Co3+-ions. Upon cooling, a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (FM) transition occurs at 267 K followed by a FM to antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 249 K. The effective paramagnetic moment for the Co3+-ions in the paramagnetic region, i.e., 270 K K, is 2.06μB/Co suggesting a mix of low spin and intermediate spin states for the Co-ions.

Both compounds exhibit complex non-collinear arrangements of the magnetic moments confined to the tetragonal basal plane, which is perpendicular to the shortest interuranium distance along the c-axis at low temperatures. The different temperature dependencies of the shortest interatomic links between uranium and the transition metal (Ni or Pd) provide evidence for the dual nature of 5f–d hybridization in these two compounds. We argue that magnetic ordering in U2Pd2Sn arises due to increased 5f–d hybridization (promoting stronger exchange) while the reduced hybridization in U2Ni2In allows for the formation of stable U magnetic moments.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/04/28/ VL - 126 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 5119 EP - 5129 SN - 00027863 AB - Photodetachment photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the electronic structure of the doubly charged complexes [MIVO(mnt)2]2- (M = Mo, W; mnt = 1 ,2-dicyanoethenedithiolato). These dianions are stable in the gas phase and are minimal models for the active sites of the dimethyl sulfoxide reductase family of molybdenum enzymes and of related tungsten enzymes. Adiabatic and vertical electron binding energies for both species were measured, providing detailed information about molecular orbital energy levels of the parent dianions as well as the ground and excited states of the product anions [MVO(mnt)2]-. Density functional theory calculations were used to assist assignment of the detachment features. Differences in energy between these features provided the energies of ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transitions from S(π) and S(σ) molecular orbitals to the singly occupied metal-based orbital of the products [MVO(mnt)2]-. These unique data for the MV species were obtained at the C2V, geometry of the parent MIV dianions. However, theoretical calculations and available condensed phase data suggested that a geometry featuring differentially folded dithiolene ligands (Cs point symmetry) was slightly lower in energy. The driving force for ligand folding is a favorable covalent interaction between the singly occupied metal-based molecular orbital (a1 in C2V, point symmetry; highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)) and the least stable of the occupied sulfur-based molecular orbitals (b1 in C2V, point symmetry, HOMO-1) that is only possible upon reduction to the lower symmetry. This ligand folding induces a large increase in the intensity predicted for the a' S(π) → a' dx²-y² charge-transfer transition originating from the HOMO-2 of [MVO(mnt)2]- under Cs point symmetry. Electronic absorption spectra are available for the related species [MoVO(bdt)2]- (bdt = 1 ,2-benzenedithiolato) and for the oxidized form of dimethyl sulfoxide reductase. The intense absorptions at ∼ 1.7 eV have been assigned previously to S(σ) → Mo transitions, assuming C2V geometry. The present work indicates that the alternative a' S(π) → a' dx²-y² of Cs geometry must be considered. Overall, this study confirms that the electronic structure of the M-dithiolene units are exquisitely sensitive to dithiolene ligand folding, reinforcing the proposal that these units are tunable conduits for electron transfer in enzyme systems.

Here, the electronic structure of Ca5Ge3 (Cr5B3 type), which can be formulated (Ca+2)5(Ge2-6)Ge-4 in oxidation states, has been explored comparatively by means of semiempirical and first-principles density functional methods. The FP-APW calculations show that alkaline-earth-metal and germanium orbitals, particularly the d orbitals on the cations and the p-π* orbitals of the halogen-like dimeric Ge2-6, mix considerably to form a conduction band. This covalency perfectly explains the unusual metallic properties of the nominally electron-precise Zintl phase Ca5Ge3 and its numerous relatives. Similar calculational results are obtained for Sr5Ge3, Ba5Ge3, and Ca5Sn3. Cation d orbitals appear to be a common theme among Zintl phases that are also metallic.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/04/28/ VL - 126 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 5282 EP - 5291 SN - 00027863 AB - The helical oligoproline assembly CH3-CO-Pro-Pro-Pro-Pra(Ptzpn)-Pro-Pro-Pra(RuIIb2m)2+ -Pro-Pro-Pra(Anq)-Pro-Pro-Pro-NH2, having a spatially ordered array of functional sites protruding from the proline backbone, has been prepared. The 13-residue assembly formed a linear array containing a phenothiazine electron donor, a tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chromophore, and an anthraquinone electron acceptor with the proline II secondary structure as shown by circular dichroism measurements. Following RuII → b2m metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excitation at 457 nm, electron-transfer quenching occurs, ultimately to give a redox-separated (RS) state containing a phenothiazine (PTZ) radical cation at the Pra(Ptzpn) site and an anthraquirione (ANQ) radical anion at the Pra(Anq) site. The redox-separated state was formed with 33-96% efficiency depending on the solvent, and the transient stored energy varied from -1.46 to -1.71 eV at 22 ± 2 °C. The dominant quenching mechanism is PTZ reductive quenching of the initial RuIII(b2m˙-) MLCT excited state which is followed by m˙- → ANQ electron transfer to give the RS state. Back electron transfer is highly exergonic and occurs in the inverted region. The rate constant for back electron transfer is solvent dependent and varies from 5.2 × 106 to 7.7 × 106 s-1 at 22 ± 2°C. It is concluded that back electron transfer occurs by direct ANQ˙- → PTZ˙+ electron transfer. Based on independently evaluated kinetic parameters, the electron-transfer matrix element is HDA ≈ 0.13 cm-1.

Impressive nanofabrication capabilities have been demonstrated with scanning probe manipulation of atoms and molecules on clean surfaces. However, as fabrication tools, both scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopes suffer from a loading deficiency: although they can manipulate atoms already present, they cannot efficiently deliver atoms to the work area. Carbon nanotubes, with their hollow cores and large aspect ratios, have been suggested as possible conduits for nanoscale amounts of material. Already much effort has been devoted to the filling of nanotubes and the application of such techniques. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes have been used as probes in scanning probe microscopy. If the atomic placement and manipulation capability already demonstrated by scanning probe microscopy could be combined with a nanotube delivery system, a formidable nanoassembly tool would result. Here we report the achievement of controllable, reversible atomic scale mass transport along carbon nanotubes, using indium metal as the prototype transport species. This transport process has similarities to conventional electro-migration, a phenomenon of critical importance to the semiconductor industry.

The only open Θ+ decay channel is KN. When two states both coupled to a single dominant decay mode are mixed by the loop diagram via this decay mode, diagonalization of the loop diagram decouples one mass eigenstate from this decay mode as in some treatments of the ρπ decay from the mixed singlet–octet ωφ system, the K*π decay of the strange axial vector mesons and the NK couplings of some baryons. This mechanism can explain the narrow width and weak coupling of Θ+→KN while allowing a relatively large production cross section from K* exchange. Interesting tests are suggested in K−p reactions where backward kaon production must go by exotic baryon exchange.

Using high-resolution quasielastic neutron scattering (QNS) and exfoliated graphite substrates, we have investigated the relatively slow diffusive motion in C24 monolayers on an energy/time scale of ∼1–36 μeV (∼0.1–4 ns). Upon heating, we first observe QNS in the crystalline phase at ∼160 K. From the crystalline-to-smectic phase transition at ∼215 K to a temperature of ∼230 K, we observe the QNS energy width to be dispersionless, consistent with molecular dynamics simulations showing rotational motion of the molecules about their long axis. At 260 K, the QNS energy width begins to increase with wave vector transfer, suggesting onset of nonuniaxial rotational motion and bounded translational motion. We continue to observe QNS up to the monolayer melting temperature at ∼340 K where our simulations indicate that the only motion slow enough to be visible within our energy window results from the creation of gauche defects in the molecules. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Smaller MD simulations were performed to verify the initial exponential rise of a single bubble, as predicted analytically for both miscible and immiscible fluids. The penetration of spikes of heavy fluid into light, along with bubbles of light rising into heavy, grows as the square of time at long times—with experiment and both atomistic and continuum computer simulation in 20% agreement. However, part of the differences may be due to dependence upon initial conditions, whose influence on the growth of individual modes was studied for two different cases: an initial interface formed by a single sinusoidal perturbation vs. one perturbed only by thermal fluctuations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A position between the protonated Schiff base and residue 85 serves as an anion-binding site in the mutant protein, and hydroxyl ions should have access to this site during the O-intermediate of the wild-type bR photocycle. The guanidinium group of R82 is proposed (1) to serve as a shuttle that eliminates the Born energy penalty for entry of an anion into this binding pocket, and conversely, (2) to block the exit of a proton or a related proton carrier.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/04/30/ VL - 279 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 18488 EP - 18496 SN - 00219258 AB - In contrast to the well known cytotoxic effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) a in many mammary cancer cells, we have found that TNF stimulates the proliferation and motility of human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). Since the response of HMECs to TNF is similar to effects mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation, we explored the potential role of cross-talk through the EGFR signaling pathways in mediating cellular responses to TNF. Using a microarray enzyme-linked immunoassay, we found that exposure to TNF stimulated the dose-dependent shedding of the EGFR ligand transforming growth factor a (TGFα). Both proliferation and motility of HMECs induced by TNF was prevented either by inhibiting membrane protein shedding with a metalloprotease inhibitor, by blocking epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase activity, or by limiting ligand-receptor interactions with an antagonistic anti-EGFR antibody. EGFR activity was also necessary for TNF-induced release of matrix metalloprotease-9, thought to be an essential regulator of mammary cell migration. The cellular response to TNF was associated with a biphasic temporal pattern of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, which was EGFR-dependent and modulated by inhibition of metalloprotease-mediated shedding. Significantly, the late phase of ERK phosphorylation, detectable within 4 h after exposure, was blocked by the metalloprotease inhibitor batimastat, indicating that autocrine signaling through ligand shedding was responsible for this secondary wave of ERK activity. Our results indicate a novel and important role for metalloprotease activation and EGFR transmodulation in mediating the cellular response to TNF.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/04/30/ VL - 279 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 19084 EP - 19090 SN - 00219258 AB - We present structural data on the RIα isoform of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A that reveal, for the first time, a large scale conformational change within the RIα homodimer upon catalytic subunit binding. This result infers that the inhibition of catalytic subunit activity is not the result of a simple docking process but rather is a multi-step process involving local conformational changes both in the cAMP-binding domains as well as in the linker region of the regulatory subunit that impact the global structure of the regulatory homodimer. The results were obtained using small-angle neutron scattering with contrast variation and deuterium labeling. From these experiments we derived information on the shapes and dispositions of the catalytic subunits and regulatory homodimer within a holoenzyme reconstituted with a deuterated regulatory subunit. The scattering data also show that, despite extensive sequence homology between the isoforms, the overall structure of the type Iα holoenzyme is significantly more compact than the type IIα isoform. We present a model of the type Iα holoenzyme, built using available high-resolution structures of the component subunits and domains, which best fits the neutron-scattering data. In this model, the type Iα holoenzyme forms a flattened V shape with the RIα dimerization domain at the point of the V and the cAMP-binding domains of the RIα subunits with their bound catalytic subunits at the ends.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/04/30/ VL - 108 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 3766 EP - 3771 SN - 10895639 AB - Reactions of C2H with NH3 and ND3 are studied at low temperature using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus. The C2H radical is prepared by 193 nm photolysis of acetylene, and the C2H concentration is monitored using CH(A2Δ) chemiluminescence from the C2H + O2 reaction. The rate constants for the C2H + NH3 and C2H + ND3 reactions are measured at three temperatures, 104 ± 5 K, 165 ± 15 K, and 296 ± 2 K. Measured rate constants are fit to power law expressions, k(T) = A(T/298)n, for ease of comparison with the results for the related CN + NH3 reaction and to emphasize the importance of the attractive part of intermolecular interaction potential in the reaction mechanism. The rate constants are (2.9 ± 0.7) × 10-11 × (T/298 K)(-0.90 ± 0.15) cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and (1.1 ± 0.2) × 10-11 × (T/298 K)(-0.82 ± 0.026) cm3 molecule-1 s-1 for NH3 and ND3, respectively. A large kinetic isotope effect is observed, k(C2H + NH3)/k(C2H + ND3) = 2.0 ± 0.2, which within experimental uncertainty does not depend on the temperature in the 104-296 K range. Previous theoretical work shows that a hydrogen abstraction channel, C2H + NH3 → C2H2 + NH2, is a possible mechanism for the C2H + NH3 reaction since the minimum energy path for this channel does not have an activation barrier. This theoretical prediction is consistent with the strong negative temperature dependence of the rate coefficients for the C2H + NH3 reaction observed in this work, which clearly shows that the C2H + NH3 reaction does not have a barrier.

Here, we apply an ultrafast transient absorption technique to study the competition between optical gain and excited-state (photoinduced) absorption in CdSe NCs as a function of NC size, surface passivation, and solvent/matrix identity. We observe that for NCs prepared in such a commonly used solvent as hexane, the contribution from photoinduced absorption rapidly increases with decreasing NC radius, and it completely suppresses optical gain in NCs of small sizes. Further, the magnitude of photoinduced absorption is sensitive both to the type and the quality of surface passivation, as well as to the identity of the solvent/matrix material. These observations, along with a strong size dependence, indicate that photoinduced absorption interfering with optical gain is not intrinsic to CdSe NCs but, instead, results from the involvement of NC interface states/processes.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/04/30/ VL - 108 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5304 EP - 5313 SN - 15206106 AB - The surface reconstruction of Au(100) and the formation of an ordered commensurate c(√2 × 22√2)R45° adlayer of Br (Brad) have been studied by a combination of electrochemical (EC) and surface X-ray scattering (SXS) measurements. Emphasis is placed on linking the microscopic structural information concerning the Brad adlayer to the voltammetric and other macroscopic electrochemical responses, including using the rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) measurements for determining the surface coverage by Brad. It is found that the potential-induced hexagonal (“hex”) to (1 × 1) transition of the Au surface coincides with Br- adsorption and occurs faster in solutions containing Br- anions than in Br--free solutions. In agreement with previous SXS results, in acid solutions, Brad forms a c(√2 × 2√2)R45° structure at around 0.15 V. However, no ordered structures of Brad are observed in alkaline solution, although the cyclic voltammetry indicates that the order structure should be present at 0.12 V. Absence of an ordered Brad adlayer in alkaline solution is attributed to competitive adsorption between Brad and OHad. To probe the role of OHad on the ordering of the bromide adlayer, coadsorbed OHad is consumed in an electrochemical reaction in which strongly adsorbed OHad is removed from the surface by a relatively weakly adsorbed reactant, viz. COad. Under such experimental conditions, we found that (i) in acid solution the c(√2 × 2√2)R45° structure develops/disappears more rapidly than in CO-free solution and (ii) in alkaline solution the c(√2 × 2√2)R45° structure is formed in exactly the same potential region as in acid solution. We propose that the continuous removal of OHad in the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction (COad + OHad = CO2 + H+ + e-) may stabilize the c(√2 × 2√2)R45° structure in both acid as well as alkaline media.

The results are compared with the classical theory predictions based on the solution to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. We find that despite some of the limitations in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, such as assumption of the Boltzmann distribution for the ions, the classical theory captures the general trend of the variations of the osmotic flow with channel width, as characterized by the mobility of the fluid in channels between ∼10 and 120 nm at moderate to low ion concentration. At moderate concentration (corresponding to relatively low surface potential), the classical theory is almost quantitative. The theory and simulation show more disagreement at low concentration, primarily caused by the high surface potential where the assumption of Boltzmann distribution becomes inaccurate. We discuss the limitations of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation as applied to the nanoscale channels.

A field-induced development of the soliton-like incommensurate superstructure is clearly indicated as a pronounced increase of the magnon spin resonance linewidth ΔB, with a ΔBmax at Bc∼13.8 T. The anomaly is explained in terms of the magnon–soliton scattering and suggests that the soliton-like phase exists close to the boundary of the dimerized-incommensurate phase transition. In addition, magnetic excitation spectra in 0.8% Si-doped CuGeO3 are studied. Some features of the high-field high-resolution tunable-frequency ESR facility recently developed in Tallahassee are presented.

The oscillating Shubnikov–de Haas signal vanishes above about 25 T although the quantum limit is not yet reached. Above this field the magnetoresistance rises strongly independent of angle and temperature. These unique features are caused by the Ce 4f electrons as evidenced by the absence of any unconventional behavior in the sister compound LaBiPt.

Classical theory predicts no Hall voltages and no magnetoresistances (MRs) in parallel fields. Probably owing to diffused and specular scattering off the rough surfaces of the crystallites, Hall voltages and parallel MR's are easily measured. Hall coefficient data in parallel Bs are summarized at 295, 78, and 1.49 K. The data are interpreted using the Pippard–Fawcett expression and the Landau tube model that contributes additional carriers at high fields.

The order and magnitude of the splitting of the ground state has been clarified by low-field (to 6 T) photo-thermal ionisation spectroscopy measurements of the C line. In light of the new high-field data the G line is now believed to comprise two unresolved components. At high magnetic field (above 25 T) a new feature appears which increases in energy with field at a much greater rate than the other transitions; this is thought to originate in valence-band Landau levels.

However, chemical and biochemical applications are increasingly based on much more accurate mass measurement. Mass spectrometric resolution (defined here as the spacing between resolved peaks) does not increase monotonically with increasing spectrometer resolving power for large molecules. Rather, resolution improves by a series of steps. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) effectively extends the onset of each of these stages to ∼100 times higher mass than for any other mass analyzer. FT-ICR performance increases linearly (mass resolving power, data acquisition speed) or quadratically (dynamic range, upper mass limit, length of time that ions can be held in a Penning trap) with increasing magnetic field. NHMFL operates two 9.4 T FT-ICR instruments, and has just installed the world''s highest field magnet (14.5 T) for FT-ICR mass analysis.

This work was motivated by Eulerian-based computational treatments of particles which assume a single group velocity for a polydisperse collection of particles within a computational cell. For particles in the inertial-dominated regime (e.g. Rep>2000), it is found that the Sauter mean diameter is the effective mean diameter regardless of particle shape, particle size number distribution, particle density distribution, or net volume fraction. However, the effective mean diameter is the volume-width diameter for particles which are in the creeping flow regime (Rep≪1), e.g. in micro-fluidized beds. Expressions for the effective diameter for solid spherical particles at intermediate Reynolds numbers are given for a log-normal probability distribution function and for binary mixtures. Finally, comparison with two experimental data sets shows a qualitative validation of the derived effective diameter for the group motion of polydisperse mixtures.

The question is how best to apply biosecurity without impeding biomedical and bioscience research. Three U.S. Codes of Federal Regulations establish lists of agents and toxins that pose a threat to humans, animals, or plants. Furthermore, federal regulations prohibit "restricted persons" from conducting research on any of the listed agents and toxins. Recently, many researchers have decided to discontinue or not pursue research on regulated biological agents, rather than implement the new security regulations and bear the associated financial burden.

Starting with cobalt nanocrystals, we show that their reaction in solution with oxygen and either sulfur or selenium leads to the formation of hollow nanocrystals of the resulting oxide and chalcogenides. This process provides a general route to the synthesis of hollow nanostructures of a large number of compounds. A simple extension of the process yielded platinum-cobalt oxide yolk-shell nanostructures, which may serve as nanoscale reactors in catalytic applications.

The data obtained included the first comprehensive measurements of aerosols and cloud particles throughout the atmospheric column during the evolution of multiple deep convective storm systems. Coupling these new measurements with detailed cloud simulations that resolve the size distributions of aerosols and cloud particles, we found several lines of evidence indicating that most anvil crystals form on mid-tropospheric rather than boundary-layer aerosols. This result defies conventional wisdom and suggests that distant pollution sources may have a greater effect on anvil clouds than do local sources.

The inter-relationships within the set of rotations producing coincident site lattices in cubic crystals are examined in detail. Besides combining previously established but widely scattered results into a unified context, the present work details newly developed representations of the group structure in terms of strings of generators (based on quaternionic number theory, and including uniqueness proofs and rules for algebraic manipulation) as well as an easily visualized topological network model. Important results that were previously obscure or not universally understood (e.g. the ∑ combination rule governing triple junctions) are clarified in these frameworks. The methods also facilitate several general observations, including the very different natures of twin-limited structures in two and three dimensions, the inadequacy of the E combination rule to determine valid quadruple nodes, and a curious link between allowable grain-boundary assignments and the fourcolor map theorem. This kind of understanding is essential to the generation of realistic statistical models of grain-boundary networks (particularly in twindominated systems) and is especially applicable to the field of grain-boundary engineering.

The structure was solved by single-wavelength iron anomalous diffraction, which yielded electron density above the 2σ level for over 97% of the non-H atoms in the protein. The final structure with R = 0.19 and Rfree = 0.21 has been deposited in the Protein Data Bank with accession code lr7s. The C2 crystal contains three Pdx molecules in the asymmetric unit, giving three independent models of the protein that are very similar (r.m.s.d. < 0.3 Å for the 106 Cv atoms). The unusually high solvent fraction of 80% results in comparatively few crystal packing artifacts. The structure is briefly compared with the recently reported crystal structures of the C73S and C73S/C85S mutants. In general, the eight independent molecules in the three crystal structures (three in C73G, three in C73S and two in C73S/CS5S) are much more similar to each other than to the previously reported NMR structure of wild-type Pdx in solution. The present findings show a unanimous structure in some regions crucial for electron-transfer interactions. including the cluster-binding loop 39-48 and the cytochrome-interaction region of Asp38 and Trp106. In addition, the Cys45 amide group donates a hydrogen bond to cluster sulfur SI. with Ala46 adopting an Lα conformation, in all three molecules in the crystal.

OsmC is a representative protein of the OsmC sequence family. which is composed of three sequence subfamilies. The structure of OsmC provides a view of a salt-shock-induced protein. Two identical monomers form a cylindrically shaped dimer iii which six helices are located on the inside and two six-stranded β-sheets wrap around these helices. Structural comparison suggests that the OsmC sequence family has a peroxiredoxin function and has a unique structure compared with other peroxiredoxin families. A detailed analysis of structures and sequence comparisons in the OsmC sequence family revealed that each subfamily has unique motifs. In addition, the molecular function of the OsmC sequence family is discussed based on structural comparisons among the subfamily members.

Subject to some modest-to-strenuous approximations we compute the rates of ablation and deceleration, energy deposition, and terminal altitudes of the meteors as functions of their initial mass and bulk density, velocity, trajectory entry angle, drag coefficient, heat of ablation, and an ablation energy transfer fraction. We find that the dominant energy deposition in the atmosphere is associated with the stopping of the ablated meteor particles and vapor by the surrounding air. Then having computed the energy deposition rates vs. altitude we compute the hydrodynamic and radiative expansion of the hot wake material in the radial direction, along with the associated air chemistry. From the computed results we can then plot two-dimensional temperature contours – as functions of the instantaneous distance behind the meteor and radial distance from the center of the wake, at various altitudes along the meteor’s path. We also compute the rates of emission of radiation and the radiative efficiency, and discuss comparisons with observations.

This overexpression of DRD2 reduced alcohol consumption in a two-bottle-choice paradigm and supported the view that high levels of DRD2 may be protective against alcohol abuse. METHODS:: Using a limited access (1 hr) two-bottle-choice (water versus 10% ethanol) drinking paradigm, we examined the effects of the DRD2 vector in alcohol intake in the genetically inbred alcohol-preferring (P) and -nonpreferring (NP) rats. In addition, micro'''positron emission tomography imaging was used at the completion of the study to assess in vivo the chronic (7 weeks) effects of ethanol exposure on DRD2 levels between the two groups. RESULTS:: P rats that were treated with the DRD2 vector (in the NAc) significantly attenuated their alcohol preference (37% decrease) and intake (48% decrease), and these measures returned to pretreatment levels by day 20. A similar pattern of behavior (attenuation of ethanol drinking) was observed in NP rats. Analysis of the [C]raclopride micro'''positron emission tomography data after chronic (7 weeks) exposure to ethanol revealed clear DRD2 binding differences between the P and NP rats. P rats showed 16% lower [C]raclopride specific binding in striatum than the NP rats. CONCLUSIONS:: These findings further support our hypothesis that high levels of DRD2 are causally associated with a reduction in alcohol consumption and may serve as a protective factor against alcoholism. That this effect was seen in P rats, which are predisposed to alcohol intake, suggests that they are protective even in those who are genetically predisposed to high alcohol intake. It is noteworthy that increasing DRD2 significantly decreased alcohol intake but did not abolish it, suggesting that high DRD2 levels may specifically interfere with the administration of large quantities of alcohol. The significantly higher DRD2 concentration in NP than P rats after 7 weeks of ethanol therefore could account for low alcohol intake.

JO - American Mineralogist JF - American Mineralogist Y1 - 2004/05//May/Jun2004 VL - 89 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 714 EP - 720 SN - 0003004X AB - Magnesium is considered the principal modifier of calcite morphology in many natural environments. However, the physical mechanism by which magnesium alters the external form of calcite has remained controversial due to a lack of direct experimental insight. Here we use in situ AFM observations of step dynamics and growth-hillock morphology to resolve the role of Mg2+ in governing calcite surface morphologies. We show that Mg2+ directly modifies the surface morphology of calcite as a consequence of differential interaction with four cry stallographically controlled step directions. Step-specific interactions are especially evident at low Mg/Ca ratios in solution, where steps with acute step-edge geometries ([441]- and [481]-) are observed to be rough while obtuse steps ([441]+ and [481]+) remain smooth. Higher Mg/Ca solution ratios cause the edges of both step-types to become rough and the growth spiral to approach an elliptical form. During this process, new [421] step directions are generated by decreased growth velocities at the intersection of the ± directions. As these steps flow along the [010] vector, they accumulate and result in the formation of pseudofacets with an orientation that approximates a (010) face. We propose that this phenomenon is the result of strain at the intersection of nonequivalent step-types, resulting in differential Mg2+ incorporation across the boundary between those steps. This hypothesis is supported by estimates of the incorporated strain as well as observations of growth-hillock recovery from impurity poisoning that indicate the presence of "remembered" strain at the boundary of the nonequivalent step-types. The results of this study offer a plausible molecular-scale explanation for elongate calcite crystals that are commonly observed in sedimentary environments. This novel explanation for...

The experiments were conducted on single, preannealed crystals of Chihuahuan calcite in an isotopically labeled atmosphere, and the diffusion profiles were measured by secondary ionization mass spectrometry (SIMS). At 800 °C, Dc and Do are identical at 0.1 MPa at a value of ∼ 10-13.5 cm²/s. The value of Dc decreases to ∼ 10-16 cm²/s with an increase in pressure to ∼50 MPa and remains at that value to 200 MPa, but Do remains nearly constant at a value of ∼10- 14 cm²/s to 200 MPa. The identical values at low pressure indicate that C and O are migrating together as a carbonate anion. A simple model relates the diffusivity of carbonate anions to the formation of vacancies at the crystal surface, which predicts that Dc ∞ 1/fco2]. The prediction matches the observed decrease in Dc with increasing pressure to 50 MPa. The shapes of the diffusion profiles for the low-pressure experiments indicate compositional dependence of D, which also suggests the influence of CO2 sorption on the diffusivity. The value of Dc at 0.1 MPa can be fitted to the relation Dc = 0.62 exp[(-291 kJ/mol)/RT]. The activation energy is nearly twice the value determined for Dc at 100 MPa, ∼166 kJ/mol. The change in slope for log Dc vs. P and the change in Ea between 0.1 and 100 Mpa suggest that the migrating C species changes from carbonate anions at low pressure to carbon atoms at P ≥ 50 MPa. The values of Do at 0.1 MPa can be fitted to Do = 0.017 exp[(-261 kJ/mol)/RT], approximately the same as for C at 0.1 MPa and similar to the relation for Do at 100 MPa: Do = 0.008 exp[(-242 kJ/mol)/RT].

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/05//5/1/2004 VL - 76 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2438 EP - 2445 SN - 00032700 AB - A top-down approach based on sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) has been implemented on an electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform mass spectrometer (FTMS) to characterize nucleic acid substrates modified by structural probes. Solvent accessibility reagents, such as dimethyl sulfate (DMS), 1 -cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CMCI), and β-ethoxy-α-ketobutyraldehyde (kethoxal, KT) are widely employed to reveal the position of single- vs double-stranded regions and obtain the footprint of bound proteins onto nucleic acids structures. Established methods require end-labeling of the nucleic acid constructs, probe-specific chemistry to produce strand cleavage at the modified nucleotides, and analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine the position of the susceptible sites. However, these labor-intensive procedures can be avoided when mass spectrometry is used to identify the probe- induced modifications from their characteristic mass signatures. In particular, ESI-FTMS can be directly employed to monitor the conditions of probe application to avoid excessive alkylation, which could induce unwanted distortion or defolding of the substrate of interest. The sequence position of the covalent modifications can be subsequently obtained from classic tandem techniques, which allow for the analysis of individual target adducts present in complex reaction mixtures with no need for separation techniques. Selection and activation by SORI- CID has been employed to reveal the position of adducts in nucleic acid substrates in excess of 6 kDa. The stability of the different covalent modifications under SORI-CID conditions was investigated. Multiple stages of isolation and activation were employed in MSn experiments to obtain the desired sequence information whenever the adduct stability was not particularly favorable, and SORI- CID induced the facile loss of the modified base. A new program called MS2Links was developed for the automated reduction and interpretation of fragmentation data obtained from modified nucleic acids. Based on an algorithm that searches for plausible isotopic patterns, the data reduction module is capable of discriminating legitimate signals from noise spikes of comparable intensity. The fragment identification module calculates the monoisotopic mass of ion products expected from a certain sequence and user-defined covalent modifications, which are finally matched with the signals selected by the data reduction program. Considering that MS2Links can generate similar fragment libraries for peptides and theft covalent conjugates with other peptides or nucleic acids, this program provides an integrated platform for the structural investigation of protein-nucleic add complexes based on cross-linking strategies and top-down ESI-FTMS.

The microcantilever underwent bending due to the reaction of HF with SiO2. The microcantilever deflection increased as the concentration of HF increased. Other acids, such as HCl, had no effect on the deflection of the cantilever. The mechanism of reaction-induced bending and the correlation of micro-cantilever deflection with the HF concentration are discussed. The deflection in response to HF of a commercially available silicon cantilever was also studied, and its response was compared with that of the SiO2 cantilever. Much less bending amplitude and sensitivity were observed for the silicon cantilever.

A plot of Kendrick mass defect versus Kendrick nominal mass sorts compounds into homologous series according to compound class (i.e., numbers of N, O, and S heteroatoms), type (number of rings plus double bonds), and degree of alkylation (number of CH2 groups), to yield unique elemental assignments from ultrahigh-resolution mass measurements in the 200-900 Da range. Interpretation of such a vast compilation requires a simple (preferably graphical) means to differentiate between complex organic mixtures of different origin or processing. In an extension of the recently revived van Krevelen plot, each elemental composition is projected onto two or three axes according to its H/C, O/C, and/or N/C atomic ratios. The H/C ratio separates compounds according to degree of saturation, whereas O/C or N/C ratios separate according to O and N classes. We show that the three-dimensional van Krevelen diagram can completely separate different classes in pyridine-extracted coal or petroleum samples and can also graphically distinguish fossil fuels according to their nature (coal vs petroleum), maturation (coals of different rank), and processing (the same coal at two stages of liquefaction). The van Krevelen diagram thus appears well suited to amplifying and exposing compositional differences within and between complex organic mixtures.

The FPC employs an array of gold Faraday cups, each with its own charge-integrating circuit that allows the simultaneous detection of several m/z ratios. The ion-sampling interface of the MHMS has been redesigned to provide better heat transfer away from the sampler and skimmer cones and to reduce the negative effects of turbulent gas flows around the plasma. The instrument has produced limits of detection in the tens to hundreds of parts per quadrillion regime and isotope ratio accuracy and precision of 5% error and 0.007% RSD, respectively. Limits of detection with the FPC are comparable to those obtained with a single-channel secondary electron multiplier (SEM). However, the isotope ratio accuracy and precision are better with the FPC than when the SEM is employed. The dynamic range has been shown to be linear over 7 orders of magnitude.

A series of columns were prepared that varied in total length from 5 to 30 cm. Each column was packed in stainless steel tubing that was sectioned to allow the column to be divided into 5-cm sections after packing. Each 5-cm section of these columns was then tested for chromatographic performance. In total, 22 such column sections were tested. The results of the study show that the consolidation of the packed bed is a very complex problem, yet systematic variations of the column performance were observed, depending on the location of the section tested from within the entire column. For example, when columns longer than 20 cm were packed, the most homogeneous and best performing section of the column was the lower midsection. Whereas for columns shorter than 20 cm in length, the best sectioned region of the bed was the lower and outlet region. In all cases, the most poorly packed region of the bed was the column inlet section, irrespective of the bed length. The phenomenon associated with this axial heterogeneity undoubtedly results from a complex interplay between wall friction, particle momentum, and the pressure pulsations resulting from the packing process.

Diffraction-limited spectral resolution at video frame rates is routinely achieved by using commercial, intensified, charge-coupled device cameras, low-power continuous-wave lasers, and standard optical microscopes. Either the native fluorescence from large biomolecules or emission from conjugated fluorescence labels can be employed to follow multiple molecules over many seconds. Both molecular motion at the liquid/solid interface and in bulk solution can be recorded. The former reveals adsorption and desorption probabilities that are related to chromatographic retention processes and to the applicability of biocompatible materials. The latter allows the manipulation of particles and large biomolecules to facilitate separation and identification.

In an attempt to simplify the fluidic requirements for integrated biodetection systems, we used tunable surface microparticles both as an rRNA affinity purification resin in a renewable microcolumn sample preparation system and as the sensor surface in a flow cytometer detector. The tunable surface detection limits in both low- and high-salt buffers were 1 ng of total RNA (∼104 cell equivalents) in 15-min test tube hybridizations and 10 ng of total RNA (∼105 cell equivalents) in hybridizations with the automated system (30-s contact time). RNA fragmentation was essential for achieving tunable surface suspension array specificity. Chaperone probes reduced but did not completely eliminate cross-hybridization, even with probes sharing <50% identity to target sequences. Nonpurified environmental extracts did not irreparably affect our ability to classify color-coded microparticles, but residual environmental constituents significantly quenched the Alexa-532 reporter fluor. Modulating surface charge did not influence the interaction of soluble environmental contaminants with conjugated beads. The automated system greatly reduced the effects of fluorescence quenching, especially in the soil background. The automated system was as efficacious as manual methods for simultaneous sample purification, hybridization, and washing prior to flow cytometry detection. The implications of unexpected target cross-hybridization and fluorescence quenching are discussed relative to the design and implementation of an integrated microbial monitoring system.

SN - 09478396 AB - We present a first-principles study of the effects of many-electron interactions on the optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Motivated by recent experiments, we have carried out ab initio calculations on the single-walled carbon nanotubes (3, 3), (5, 0) and (8, 0). The calculations are based on a many-body Green’s function approach in which both the quasiparticle (single-particle) excitation spectrum and the optical (electron–hole excitation) spectrum are determined. We show that the optical spectrum of both the semiconducting and metallic nanotubes studied exhibits important excitonic effects due to their quasi-one-dimensional nature. Binding energies for excitonic states range from zero for the metallic (5, 0) tube to nearly 1 eV for the semiconducting (8, 0) tube. Moreover, the metallic (3, 3) tube possesses exciton states bound by nearly 100 meV. Our calculated spectra explain quantitatively the observed features found in the measured spectra.

SN - 09478396 AB - Raman excitation profiles were generated between 695 and 985 nm for individual carbon nanotubes dispersed in aqueous solution. We confirmed that previously published spectral assignments for semi-conducting and metallic carbon nanotubes are able to predict the location and resonant maxima of radial breathing mode features in the Raman spectrum. Three large diameter features were observed within the excitation space over the scan range and accurately predicted as metallic species. There was significant agreement between predicted and observed Raman modes. However, one discrepancy is noted with the (6,4) nanotubes. This species is not observed when excited at or near its absorption transition. We find that the Raman cross-sections in general, assuming a diameter-based distribution of nanotubes, are disproportionately smaller for mod(n-m,3)=1 semi-conducting nanotubes than their counterparts by at least an order of magnitude. These results have important implications for the use of Raman spectroscopy to effectively characterize the chirality distribution of carbon nanotube samples.

SN - 09478396 AB - We have utilized a modified version of thermal nanoimprint lithography to fabricate a rewritable, nonvolatile, molecular memory device with a density of 6.4 Gbit/cm[sup 2]. It has the advantages of a relatively low operating temperature of (∼70 °C) and pressure of (<500 psi or 4.5 MPa), both of which are critical to preserving the integrity of the molecular layer. The architecture of the circuit was based on an 8×8 crossbar structure, with an active molecular layer sandwiched between the top and bottom electrodes. A liftoff process was utilized to produce the top and bottom electrodes made of Pt/Ti bilayers. The active molecular layer was deposited by the Languir–Blodgett technique. We utilized a new class of nanoimprint resist formulated by dissolving a polymer in its monomer. The formulation we used, was poly(benzyl methacrylate), dissolved in benzyl methacrylate with t-butyl peroxy 2-ethylhexanoate added as a self-initiator (8:90:2 by weight). The new resist allowed us to achieve Pt/Ti lines of 40 nm in width and 130 nm in pitch.

SN - 09462171 AB - PLEIADES is a compact, tunable, high-brightness, ultra-short-pulse, Thomson-scattering X-ray source. Picosecond pulses of hard X-rays (10–200 keV) are created by colliding an ultra-relativistic (20–100 MeV), picosecond-duration electron beam with a high-intensity, sub-picosecond, 800-nm laser pulse. Initial operation of this source has produced 78-keV X-rays with 106 photons per pulse using a 57-MeV, 0.3-nC, 50-μm rms width electron beam and a 180-mJ, 15-μm rms width laser pulse. The angular distribution, energy, and energy spectrum of the source are found to agree well with theory and simulations. Source optimization is expected to increase X-ray output to between 107 and 108 photons per pulse with a peak brightness approaching 1020 photons/s/0.1% bandwidth/mm2/mrad2.

Second-moment analysis of the X-ray laser emission was used to determine values of the X-ray beam propagation factor M2 for a range of irradiation parameters. The results reveal a reduction of M2 with increasing prepulse intensity. The spatial size of the output is a factor of ∼2 smaller than previously measured for the 14.7-nm Pd X-ray laser, while the distance of the X-ray emission with respect to the target surface remains roughly the same.

SN - 09462171 AB - Metrology of XUV beams (X-ray lasers, high-harmonic generation and VUV free-electron lasers) is of crucial importance for the development of applications. We have thus developed several new optical systems enabling us to measure the optical properties of XUV beams. By use of a Michelson interferometer working as a Fourier-transform spectrometer, the line shapes of different X-ray lasers have been measured with a very high accuracy (Δλ/λ ∼ 10-6). Achievement of the first XUV wavefront sensor has enabled us to measure the beam quality of laser-pumped as well as discharge-pumped X-ray lasers. A capillary discharge X-ray laser has demonstrated a very good wavefront allowing us to achieve an intensity as high as 3×1014 W cm-2 by focusing with a ƒ = 5 cm mirror. The sensor accuracy has been measured using a calibrated spherical wave generated by diffraction. The accuracy has been estimated to be as good as λ/120 at 13 nm. Commercial developments are underway. At Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée, we are setting up a new beamline based on high-harmonic generation in order to start the femtosecond, coherent XUV optic.

SN - 09462171 AB - The impulsive superheating of matter by an intense, ultrashort laser pulse drives material expansion into vacuum (ablation) and an associated formation of nanoparticles. The underlying dynamics of particle formation are complex and direct experimental probes of the rapid material evolution are essential. Femtosecond lasers coupled to modern synchrotrons offer an important new opportunity to probe ejecta dynamics on an atomic lengthscale. Here, the impulsive heating of a semiconductor (silicon) by an intense femtosecond laser pulse leads to material ejection and time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy probes rapid solidification kinetics occurring within the ejecta. Transient photoemission peak-shifts indicate that material is ejected predominantly as liquid droplets and that solidification occurs rapidly (< 50 ps). The solidification time suggests that vacuum ejection leads to significantly enhanced undercooling compared to what has been obtained by more conventional quenching techniques; this may be of interest in attempts to ‘trap’ novel material states associated with extreme laser heating. Finally, a low fraction of vapor particles in the ejecta supports a view that the size-distribution of ejected particles is set by an initial fragmentation process rather than by vapor condensation.

Numerous efforts to refine, improve and even redevelop the method since that time have similarly failed to achieve the original promise. Only within the last eight years have significant improvements been made, due to both improved analytical techniques and a better understanding of the hydration process. However, most of our mechanistic understanding of the interaction of water with rhyolitic glass is based on experiments performed on melts and glasses at temperatures above their glass transitions, conditions inappropriate for investigation of near-surface environmental conditions. Unfortunately, studies detailing the temporal evolution of the diffusion profile at low temperatures are rare, and few useful data are available on the low-temperature diffusive hydration of silicate glasses. This paper presents data on the experimental hydration of obsidian from the Pachuca source (a.k.a. Sierra de las Navajas, Basin of Mexico) at 75°C for times ranging from 3 to 562 days, and compares these results with data for samples obtained from a stratigraphic excavation of the Chalco site in the Basin of Mexico. Samples have been analysed using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to provide concentration/depth data. While 75°C is still significantly above the temperatures at which archaeological obsidians hydrate, it is well below the glass transition temperature (approx. 400°C) and thus processes are likely to be similar to those that occur in nature, but fast enough to be observed over a laboratory timescale. The results demonstrate that a simple square-root-of-time model of the evolution of the diffusion profile is not adequate to describe the diffusion process, as measured diffusion profiles exhibit the effects of concentration- and time-dependent, non-Fickian diffusion. With progressive hydration, characteristic diffusion coefficients first decrease, then increase with time. Surface concentration increases with time, but an intermediate plateau is observed in its time evolution that is consistent with results obtained from the suite of Chalco samples. Both of these effects have been observed during diffusion in glassy polymer systems and are associated with the build-up and relaxation of self-stress caused by the influx of diffusing material.

Here, we investigated the role of the [560–608] disulfide bond on the phlorizin-binding function of the C-terminal loop 13 of SGLT1 using 3-iodoacetamidophlorizin (3-IAP) as a probe. The reactivity of 3-IAP to the fully reduced loop 13 was competitively inhibited by phlorizin, as evident from the MALDI mass spectra. It indicates that the disulfide bond is not mandatory for phlorizin binding. CD and equilibrium unfolding studies showed that the secondary structure and conformation stability of loop 13 were not affected by removing the disulfide bond. Furthermore, we generated a series of loop 13 mutants to assess the contribution of the disulfide bond to phlorizin binding. A positive correlation between the stability and phlorizin affinity of the mutant proteins was observed, implying that the protein stability, rather than the disulfide bond, is relevant to the phlorizin-binding function of loop 13.

The yields are obtained using modern stellar evolution codes that follow the entire evolution of massive stars, including the supernova explosion, and consider in detail the 3rd dredge-up process during the thermally pulsating asymptotic giant branch of low-mass and intermediate-mass stars. Our results show that the C and O production in massive stars depends strongly on the initial mass, and that it is crucial to follow the entire evolution. A rather strong C production during the He-shell flashes compared to quiescent He burning leads to a lower sensitivity of the C and O production in low-mass and intermediate-mass stars on the 3α-rate than predicted in our previous work. In particular, the C production of intermediate-mass stars seems to have a maximum close to the actual value of the 0+2 energy level of 12C.

SN - 01682563 AB - Polar dissolved organic matter (DOM) was isolated from a surface-water sample from the Great Salt Lake by separating it from colloidal organic matter by membrane dialysis, from less-polar DOM fractions by resin sorbents, and from inorganic salts by a combination of sodium cation exchange followed by precipitation of sodium salts by acetic acid during evaporative concentration. Polar DOM was the most abundant DOM fraction, accounting for 56% of the isolated DOM. Colloidal organic matter was 14C-age dated to be about 100% modern carbon and all of the DOM fractions were 14C-age dated to be between 94 and 95% modern carbon. Average structural models of each DOM fraction were derived that incorporated quantitative elemental and infrared, 13C-NMR, and electrospray/mass spectrometric data. The polar DOM model consisted of open-chain N-acetyl hydroxy carboxylic acids likely derived from N-acetyl heteropolysaccharides that constituted the colloidal organic matter. The less polar DOM fraction models consisted of aliphatic alicyclic ring structures substituted with carboxyl, hydroxyl, ether, ester, and methyl groups. These ring structures had characteristics similar to terpenoid precursors. All DOM fractions in the Great Salt Lake are derived from algae and bacteria that dominate DOM inputs in this lake.

The model was used to estimate the intestinal radiation doses from yttrium-90-labeled-DOTA-biotin binding to NR-LU-10-streptavidin in patients. Methods: We selected model parameters from published data and observations, and used the model to calculate energy-absorbed fractions using the EGS4 radiation transport code. We determined the cumulated 90Y activity in the small and large intestines of patients from gamma camera images, and calculated absorbed doses to the mucosal layer and to the whole intestinal wall. Results: The mean absorbed dose to the wall of the small intestine was 16.2 mGy/MBq (60 cGy/mCi) administered from 90Y localized in the mucosa, and 70 mGy/MBq (260 cGy/mCi) to the mucosal layer within the wall. Doses to the large intestinal wall and to the mucosa of the large intestine were lower than those for the small intestine by a factor of about 2.5. These doses are greater by factors of about 5 to 6 than those that would have been calculated using the standard MIRD models that assume the intestinal activity is in the bowel contents. Conclusions: The specific uptake of radiopharmaceuticals in mucosal tissues may lead to doserelated intestinal toxicities. Tissue dosimetry at the sub-organ level is useful for a better understanding of intestinal tract radiotoxicity and associated dose-response relationships.

JO - Catalysis Reviews: Science & Engineering JF - Catalysis Reviews: Science & Engineering Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 46 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 163 EP - 245 SN - 01614940 AB - Over the last several years, nitrogen oxide(s)(NOx) storage/reduction(NSR) catalysts, also referred to as NOx adsorbers or lean NOx traps, have been developed as an aftertreatment technology to reduce NOx emissions from lean-burn power sources. NSR operation is cyclic: during the lean part of the cycle, NOx are trapped on the catalyst; intermittent rich excursions are used to reduce the NOx to N2 and restore the original catalyst surface; and lean operation then resumes. This review will describe the work carried out in characterizing, developing, and understanding this catalyst technology for application in mobile exhaust-gas aftertreatment. The discussion will first encompass the reaction process fundamentals, which include five general steps involved in NOx reduction to N2 on NSR catalysts; NO oxidation, NO2 and NO sorption leading to nitrite and nitrate species, reductant evolution, NOx release, and finally NOx reduction to N2. Major unresolved issues and questions are listed at the end of each of the reaction process fundamental sections. Degradation mechanisms and their effects on NSR catalyst performance are also described in relation to these generalized reactions. Since at this stage it does not appear possible to arrive at a complete and consistent mechanistic model describing the broad, existing experimental phenomenology for these processes, this review is primarily focused on summarizing and evaluating literature data and reconciling the many differences presented.

But it is largely the O–O distance that determines the O–D stretch frequency in an O–DO bond of an H-bonded network. Thus, a D2O adlayer''s stretch spectrum reflects its O–O distances, not its proportion of intact vs. dissociated molecules. This idea suggests that deuteron disorder in the heavy-water adlayer is the key to understanding its broad O–D stretch spectrum.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 64 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 169 EP - 191 SN - 01650009 AB - We estimated the impact of climatic change on wildland fire and suppression effectiveness in northern California by linking general circulation model output to local weather and fire records and projecting fire outcomes with an initial-attack suppression model. The warmer and windier conditions corresponding to a 2 × CO2 climate scenario produced fires that burned more intensely and spread faster in most locations. Despite enhancement of fire suppression efforts, the number of escaped fires (those exceeding initial containment limits) increased 51% in the south San Francisco Bay area, 125% in the Sierra Nevada, and did not change on the north coast. Changes in area burned by contained fires were 41%, 41% and –8%, respectively. When interpolated to most of northern California's wildlands, these results translate to an average annual increase of 114 escapes (a doubling of the current frequency) and an additional 5,000 hectares (a 50% increase) burned by contained fires. On average, the fire return intervals in grass and brush vegetation types were cut in half. The estimates reported represent a minimum expected change, or best-case forecast. In addition to the increased suppression costs and economic damages, changes in fire severity of this magnitude would have widespread impacts on vegetation distribution, forest condition, and carbon storage, and greatly increase the risk to property, natural resources and human life.

Skeletal and reduced n-heptane mechanisms are developed and validated against experiments over a range of pressure and stoichiometries. Two configurations are investigated using the skeletal mechanism. First, the effect of strain rate on multistage n-heptane ignition is studied by imposing a uniform temperature for both the fuel and the oxidizer streams. Second, a temperature gradient between the fuel and the oxidizer streams is imposed. The global effect of strain on ignition is captured by a Damko¨hler number based on either the heat-release rate or the characteristic chain-branching rate. Results show that for low to moderate strain rates, both the low- and intermediate-temperature chemistries evolve in a manner comparable to that in homogeneous systems, including the negative temperature coefficient regime, but with somewhat slower evolution attributable to diffusive losses. At high strain rates diffusive losses inhibit ignition; for two-stage ignition, it is found that ignition is inhibited during the second, intermediate-temperature stage. The imposition of an overall temperature gradient further inhibits ignition because reaction zones for key branching reactions with large activation energies are narrowed. For a fixed oxidizer stream temperature that is not sufficiently high, a higher fuel temperature results in a shorter ignition delay provided that the heptyl radicals are mainly oxidized by low-temperature chemistry. As expected, an increase in pressure significantly increases reaction rates and reduces ignition delay time. However, with increasing pressure there is a shift toward single-stage low-temperature-dominated ignition which serves to delay ignition.

Structures 1998; 69:247–254). It has been shown that the algorithm runs three to four times faster than the standard Wilson–Cruse interpolation scheme. However, the main concern of the Sales–Gray algorithm is its numerical instability that could lead to significant errors due to the existence of multiple poles of the residue. This paper proposes a remedy for the problem by adding the capability to evaluate the Green's function in case of multiple poles of the residue. Further, an improved numerical implementation based on the use of double-subscript-notation elastic constants in determining the Christoffel tensor is also at issue.

The variability in soil test recommendations for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) was measured, along transects across three fields in the South Peace River region of Alberta. Depending on the field and intended crop, site-specific fertilizer application would: (1) increase fertilizer inputs by 4–10 kg ha−1, (2) reduce fertilizer inputs by 5–30 kg ha−1, or (3) redistribute the same amount of fertilizer required for uniform application, differently among nutrients and across the field. Fields with extreme topography are more likely to benefit from site-specific fertilizer application, however, slope position alone would be inadequate to stratify fields for this purpose. Requirements for K were the most sensitive to sub-field variability, followed by those for S, P, and N. Producers in the region may not consider site-specific application because grid sampling may be too costly. Quick and economical ways to determine site-specific fertilizer requirements are needed.

We propose that nearly every accelerated CR was part of the parallel current that maintains all force-free (f-f) magnetic fields. Charged particles are accelerated by the electric field produced by reconnection parallel to the magnetic field B. The inferred total energy in extragalactic cosmic rays is ∼ 1060 ergs per galaxy spacing volume, provided that the assumed acceleration mechanisms do not preferentially only accelerate ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). This total energy is quite large, about 105 times the parent galactic CR or magnetic energy. We argue that the formation energy of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at galaxy centers, ∼ 1062 ergs, becomes the only feasible source. We propose an efficient dynamo process which converts gravitational free energy into magnetic energy in an accretion disk around a SMBH. Aided by Keplerian winding, this dynamo converts a poloidal seed field into f-f fields, which are transported into the general intergalactic medium (IGM) eventually. This magnetic energy must also have been efficiently converted into particle energies, as evidenced by the radiation from energetic particles. In this view CRs of the IGM are the result of the continuing dissipation, in a Hubble time, of this free energy, by acceleration in situ within the f-f fields confined within the super-galactic walls and filaments of large scale structures. In addition, UHECRs are diffusively lost to the galactic voids at time scales below the GZK attenuation time, ∼ 108 years. Similarly, within the galaxy we expect that the winding by the disk rotation of the galaxy, by the rotation energy of magnetized neutron stars, and by the Keplerian winding of star formation disks are efficient sources of f-f magnetic field energy and hence the sources of galactic CR acceleration.

Notre ide´e est que pratiquement tout rayon cosmique ayant subi une acce´le´ration est issu du courant paralle`le qui entretient tout champ magne´tique sans force (force-free, f-f). Les particules charge´es sont acce´le´re´es par le champ e´lectrique E∥ produit par la reconnexion paralle`le au champ magne´tique B. L'e´nergie totale qui en re´sulte pour les rayons cosmiques extra-galactiques est ∼ 1060 ergs par volume moyen extra-galactique correspondant a` une galaxie. Cette e´nergie totale est assez importante. Elle est environ 105 fois plus e´leve´e que l'e´nergie transporte´e par les rayons cosmiques ou l'e´nergie magne´tique dans la galaxie me`re. Nous proposons comme seule source cre´dible d'e´nergie celle de formation de trous noirs super-massifs, ∼ 1062 ergs, au centre de galaxies. Nous pre´sentons un me´canisme de dynamo efficace qui transforme l'e´nergie libre gravitationnelle en e´nergie magne´tique dans le disque d'accre´tion d'un trou noir. Graˆce a` l'enroulement keplerien, cette dynamo transforme un champ-germe poloidal en champs f-f (sans force), qui en fin de compte sont transporte´s vers le milieu inter-galactique. Cette e´nergie magne´tique doit e´galement eˆtre convertie en e´nergie cine´tique avec un bon rendement, comme tendrait a` le prouver le rayonnement e´mis par les particules e´nerge´tiques. Vus sous cet angle, les rayons cosmiques des milieux inter-galactiques re´sultent de la dissipation continue de cette e´nergie libre dans le temps de Hubble. Cette e´nergie sert a` leur acce´le´ration in situ par les champs f-f confine´s aux parois super-galactiques et aux filaments des structures a` grande e´chelle. De plus, les rayons cosmiques d'e´nergies extreˆmes disparaissent par diffusion a` des e´chelles de temps infe´rieures a` celles de l'atte´nuation par le me´canisme GZK, a` savoir ∼ 108 anne´es. De meˆme, nous pensons que l'acce´le´ration des rayons cosmiques galactiques peut eˆtre due a` des me´canismes puissants tels que l'enroulement du champ par l'e´nergie de rotation du disque galactique ou des e´toiles a` neutrons magne´tise´es, ou l'enroulement keplerien des disques de formation stellaires.

We elucidate various aspects of the interplay between the crystal structure and the electron dynamics by investigating the loss function, and the associated dielectric function, for wave vector transfers perpendicular and parallel to the hexagonal plane. As expected, but contrary to recent work, we find that the free-electron-like aspects of the dynamical response are rather isotropic for small wave vectors. The crystal local-field effects are found to have an impact on the plasmon energy for small wave vectors, which gives rise to an interplay with the exchange–correlation effects built into the many-body kernel. The loss function lineshape shows a significant dependence on propagation direction; in particular, for propagation on the hexagonal plane the plasmon hybridizes substantially with fine structure due to d-electron transitions, and its dispersion curve becomes difficult to establish, beyond the small wave vector limit. The response is calculated in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), based on a full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) ground state, in which the exchange–correlation effects are treated in the local-density approximation.

Mimetic discretizations for the invariant operators'' divergence, gradient, and curl satisfy exact discrete analogs of many of the important theorems of vector calculus. The mimetic discretization of the Laplacian is given by the composition of the discrete divergence and gradient. We first construct a mimetic discretization on a single cell by geometrically constructing inner products for discrete scalar and vector fields, then constructing a finite-volume discrete divergence, and then constructing a discrete gradient that is consistent with the discrete divergence theorem. This construction is then extended to the global grid. We demonstrate the convergence for the two-dimensional Laplace equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions on grids with a lower bound on the angles in the cell corners and an upper bound on the cell aspect ratios. The best convergence rate to be expected is first order, which is what we prove. The techniques developed apply to far more general initial boundary-value problems.

T1 - Porphyrins as light harvesters in the dye-sensitised TiO2 solar cell JO - Coordination Chemistry Reviews JF - Coordination Chemistry Reviews Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 248 IS - 9/10 M3 - Article SP - 817 SN - 00108545 AB - The sensitisation of TiO2 with a wide variety of inorganic and organic dyes for light harvesting has been investigated over the last 20 years for the development of efficient solar cells. Given their efficacy in photosynthesis, porphyrin dyes have great potential in this regard. A significant number of porphyrins have been evaluated in photoelectrochemical cells (PECs), but little is known about the structural and electronic features required for efficient porphyrin light harvesting on semiconductors (SCs). One of the most appealing aspects of the use of porphyrins as dyes is that a wide variety of large porphyrin arrays can now be synthesised. The attachment of such arrays (or light harvesting antennae) to SCs such as TiO2 provides the potential to dramatically increase the dye surface coverage of the SC, and therefore the dye-sensitised solar cell (DSSC) efficiency. There has been little work carried out in this area to date. Following the development of an efficient building block approach to functionalised porphyrin arrays, we have synthesised a variety of β-carboxylic substituted porphyrin monomers and multi-porphyrin arrays and evaluated their performance in the dye-sensitised TiO2 (Gra¨tzel) solar cell. The effect of porphyrin substituent, functional group position, linker conjugation, binding group and electrolyte on the porphyrin light harvesting efficiency was investigated. It was found that a β-substituted monoporphyrin carboxylic acid derivative with a conjugated linker shows significant advantage over any antennae-type of multi-porphyrin arrays. In particular, of all the porphyrins evaluated, 4-trans-2′-(2″-(5″,10″,15″,20″-tetraphenylporphyrinato zinc(II)yl)ethen-1′-yl)-1-benzoic acid gives an overall efficiency of 4.2% under AM1.5 conditions in an unoptimised Gra¨tzel cell, making it one of the most efficient porphyrin dye sensitisers synthesised to date.

This paper shows that current radiological cleanup laws and regulations, models for converting dose or risk goals to cleanup concentrations, and existing site-specific criteria were not designed specifically for ROD cleanups but, absent changes, would apply by default The goals and approaches of these legal and methodological structures often conflict; using them in response to terrorism could undermine public confidence, cause delays, and produce unnecessary costs or unacceptable cleanups. ROD cleanups would involve immediate priorities not envisioned in the existing radiological cleanup framework, such as balancing radiation risks with the health, economic, and other societal impacts associated with access to the infrastructure necessary to sustain society (e.g., hospitals, bridges, utilities). To minimize the achievement of terrorism goals, the elements of an ROD cleanup response-including updating existing legal/regulatory structures to clarify federal authority, goals, and methods for developing ROD cleanup criteria-must be in place soon; given the complexity of the issues and the potential societal impact, this effort should be expedited.

The scattering cross-section is related to the dynamic structure factor S(k, ω). We improve the standard treatment of the scattering on free electrons within the random phase approximation (RPA) by including collisions. The dielectric function is calculated in the Born-Mermin approximation. The inclusion of collisions modifies the dynamic structure factor significantly in the warm dense matter regime. We conclude that a theoretical description beyond the RPA is needed to derive reliable results for plasma parameters from X-ray Thomson scattering experiments.

A point of concern has been the “robustness” of such conversions. We have investigated the impact of type of cell delivery, muscle injury, nature of delivered cell, and stem cell mobilizations on marrow-to-muscle conversion.Methods: We transplanted green fluorescence protein (GFP)-transgenic marrow into irradiated C57BL/6 mice and then injured anterior tibialis muscle by cardiotoxin. One month after injury, sections were analyzed by standard and deconvolutional microscopy for expression of muscle and hematopoietic markers.Results: Irradiation was essential to conversion, although whether by injury or induction of chimerism is not clear. Cardiotoxin- and, to a lesser extent, PBS-injected muscles showed significant number of GFP+ muscle fibers, while uninjected muscles showed only rare GFP+ cells. Marrow conversion to muscle was increased by two cycles of G-CSF mobilization and to a lesser extent by G-CSF and steel or GM-CSF. Transplantation of female GFP to male C57BL/6 and GFP to ROSA26 mice showed fusion of donor cells to recipient muscle. High numbers of donor-derived muscle colonies and up to 12% GFP+ muscle cells were seen after mobilization or direct injection. These levels of donor muscle chimerism approach levels that could be clinically significant in developing strategies for the treatment of muscular dystrophies.Conclusion: In summary, the conversion of marrow to skeletal muscle cells is based on cell fusion and is critically dependent on injury. This conversion is also numerically significant and increases with mobilization.

Lean methane-air mixture was supplied to the inlet of a catalyst bed section. In order to validate our numerical analyses, the surface site density of platinum-coated monolith was estimated through the comparisons with the experimental data reported in literature. Discussed in detail were the effects of homogeneous chemistry and heterogeneous chemistry on catalytic combustion characteristics. The extensive numerical calculations performed with the selected surface site density revealed that homogeneous reactions in the monolith had little effects on the spatial distributions of temperature and CH4 conversion and the location of heterogeneous ignition, while they showed an important role to the initial reaction processes in the thermal combustor section through productions of the significant amount of intermediate species, such as OH and CO, near the catalyst bed exit. The parametric study for various operating conditions, such as equivalence ratio, temperature, velocity, entrance diameter of the monolith channel and inlet pressure, were also performed to investigate their effects on catalytic combustion. In the thermal combustor, N2O was a dominant component in emissions that are mainly formed under the reaction mechanism, N2+O(+M)→N2O(+M), in case no additional fuel is injected. Furthermore, the formations of CO and NOx emission were also characterized with controlling the amount of additional methane injection to the thermal combustor.

A small hysteresis was detected between the adsorption and desorption isotherms. The hysteresis was small or negligible for high rank coals but discernable for low rank coals. The isotherms were found to be rectilinear and to fit the conventional adsorption equations poorly. The rectilinear shape of the adsorption isotherms was related to the solubility of the CO2 in the coal and to coal swelling. Using an adsorption model that accounted for volumetric effects provided good agreement between the surface areas calculated from the high-pressure isotherms and the literature values obtained under traditional low-pressure conditions. Ignoring the volumetric effects resulted in estimated surface areas that were 40% larger for the higher-ranked coals and 60–100% larger for the lower-ranked coals. The heat of adsorption, after correcting for volumetric effects, was fairly constant (26±1 kJ/mol) regardless of rank. The adsorption capacity, average pore size, and volume effect for each of the Argonne coals were also estimated employing the same model. The model equation explicitly accounts for volumetric effects, attributable to the solubility of CO2 in the organic matrix and the coal swelling, and estimates the actual adsorbed amount.

Traditionally, glass joining or compressive sealing has been used. While short-term success has been achieved with these techniques, it is apparent that to meet the long-term operational needs of stack designers, alternative sealing concepts will need to be conceived. At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory we have been developing two such alternatives, air brazing and bonded compliant sealing, the details of which are outlined here.

Polymorphisms in both APOA5 and APOC3 are strongly associated with plasma triglyceride concentrations. The close genomic locations of these two genes as well as their functional similarity have hindered efforts to define whether each gene independently influences human triglyceride concentrations. In this study, we examined the linkage disequilibrium and haplotype structure of 49 SNPs in a 150-kb region spanning the gene cluster. We identified a total of five common APOA5 haplotypes with a frequency of greater than 8% in samples of northern European origin. The APOA5 haplotype block did not extend past the 7 SNPs in the gene and was separated from the other apolipoprotein gene in the cluster by a region of significantly increased recombination. Furthermore, one previously identified triglyceride risk haplotype of APOA5 (APOA5*3) showed no association with three APOC3 SNPs previously associated with triglyceride concentrations, in contrast to the other risk haplotype (APOA5*2), which was associated with all three minor APOC3 SNP alleles. These results highlight the complex genetic relationship between APOA5 and APOC3 and support the notion that APOA5 represents an independent risk gene affecting plasma triglyceride concentrations in humans.

A new method is presented that is based on these calculated structures, and it is shown that previously published methods have neglected one or more of four essential features of a generalized model. First, if the apparent pKa values of solution monomers are to be used to predict intrinsic pKa values of surface functional groups, similar electrostatic corrections must be applied in both cases. In surface complexation models, electrostatic corrections are applied by representing a charged surface as a uniform plane of charge density, and an analogous correction can be made to solution monomers by treating them as charged spheres. Second, it must be remembered that real surfaces and real monomers are not homogeneous planes or spheres. Rather, charge density is distributed rather unevenly, and a further electrostatic correction (which is often quite large) must be made to account for the proximity of electron density to the point of proton attachment. Third, the unsaturated valence of oxygen atoms in oxyacids, hexaquo cations, and oxide surfaces is strongly correlated with acidity after electrostatic corrections are made. However, calculation of unsaturated valence for oxyacids and oxide surfaces must be based on realistic Me&z.sbnd;O bond lengths (taking into account bond relaxation), which can be obtained from ab initio structure optimizations. Finally, unsaturated valence must be divided between possible bonds (four for oxygen atoms) to reflect the fact that O-H bonds are localized to particular regions of the O atoms.Empirical models that take all these factors into account are presented for oxyacids and hexaquo cations. These models are applied to the gibbsite (100), (010), (001), and cristobalite (100) surfaces, and it is demonstrated that the model for oxyacids predicts reasonable intrinsic pKa values for oxide surfaces. However, the prediction of surface pKa values is complex, because the protonation state of one functional group affects the pKa values of neighboring groups. Therefore, calculations of larger periodic systems, progressively protonated and reoptimized, are needed.

Validation of the LA-ICP-MS technique indicated that the method provides accurate and reproducible (RSD = 13–18%) analysis of low concentration REE in corals (∼1 to 100 ppb). The REE composition in coral samples was found to closely reflect that of the surrounding seawater and distribution coefficients of ∼1–2 indicated minimal fractionation of the series during incorporation into coral carbonate. To explore the idea that coral records of REE can be used to investigate dissolved seawater composition, we analyzed two coastal corals representing a total of ∼30 yr of growth, including a 10-yr overlapping period. Comparable results were obtained from the two samples, particularly in terms of elemental ratios (Nd/Yb) and the Ce anomaly. Based on this evidence and results from the determination of distribution coefficients, we suggest that useful records of seawater REE composition can be obtained from coral carbonates. When compared to the REE composition of a mid shelf coral, coastal corals showed a significant terrestrial influence, characterized by higher REE concentrations (greater than 10 times) and light REE enrichment. The REE composition of coastal seawater inferred from the coral record was dependent on seasonal factors and the influence of flood waters. REE fractionation displayed a strong seasonal cycle that correlated closely with Mn concentration. We suggest that higher Nd/Yb ratios and higher Mn concentrations in summer result from scavenging of heavy REE by particulate organic ligands and Mn reductive dissolution respectively, both processes displaying higher rates during periods of high primary productivity. The Ce anomaly also displayed a strong seasonal cycle showing an enhanced anomaly during summer and during flood events. This is consistent with the Ce anomaly being primarily controlled by the abundance of Ce oxidizing bacteria. Based on these arguments, we suggest that the coral record of dissolved REE and Mn may be regarded as a useful proxy for biological activity in coastal seawater.

Grady JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 68 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2167 SN - 00167037 AB - Based on their mineralogy and petrography, ∼200 refractory inclusions studied in the unique carbonaceous chondrite, Acfer 094, can be divided into corundum-rich (0.5%), hibonite-rich (1.1%), grossite-rich (8.5%), compact and fluffy Type A (spinel-melilite-rich, 50.3%), pyroxene-anorthite-rich (7.4%), and Type C (pyroxene-anorthite-rich with igneous textures, 1.6%) Ca,Al-rich inclusions (CAIs), pyroxene-hibonite spherules (0.5%), and amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs, 30.2%). Melilite in some CAIs is replaced by spinel and Al-diopside and/or by anorthite, whereas spinel-pyroxene assemblages in CAIs and AOAs appear to be replaced by anorthite. Forsterite grains in several AOAs are replaced by low-Ca pyroxene. None of the CAIs or AOAs show evidence for Fe-alkali metasomatic or aqueous alteration. The mineralogy, textures, and bulk chemistry of most Acfer 094 refractory inclusions are consistent with their origin by gas-solid condensation and may reflect continuous interaction with SiO and Mg of the cooling nebula gas. It appears that only a few CAIs experienced subsequent melting. The Al-rich chondrules (ARCs; >10 wt% bulk Al2O3) consist of forsteritic olivine and low-Ca pyroxene phenocrysts, pigeonite, augite, anorthitic plagioclase, ± spinel, FeNi-metal, and crystalline mesostasis composed of plagioclase, augite and a silica phase. Most ARCs are spherical and mineralogically uniform, but some are irregular in shape and heterogeneous in mineralogy, with distinct ferromagnesian and aluminous domains. The ferromagnesian domains tend to form chondrule mantles, and are dominated by low-Ca pyroxene and forsteritic olivine, anorthitic mesostasis, and Fe,Ni-metal nodules. The aluminous domains are dominated by anorthite, high-Ca pyroxene and spinel, occasionally with inclusions of perovskite; have no or little FeNi-metal; and tend to form cores of the heterogeneous chondrules. The cores are enriched in bulk Ca and Al, and apparently formed from melting of CAI-like precursor material that did not mix completely with adjacent ferromagnesian melt. The inferred presence of CAI-like material among precursors for Al-rich chondrules is in apparent conflict with lack of evidence for melting of CAIs that occur outside chondrules, suggesting that these CAIs were largely absent from chondrule-forming region(s) at the time of chondrule formation. This may imply that there are several populations of CAIs in Acfer 094 and that mixing of “normal” CAIs that occur outside chondrules and chondrules that accreted into the Acfer 094 parent asteroid took place after chondrule formation. Alternatively, there may have been an overlap in the CAI- and chondrule-forming regions, where the least refractory CAIs were mixed with Fe-Mg chondrule precursors. This hypothesis is difficult to reconcile with the lack of evidence of melting of AOAs which represent aggregates of the least refractory CAIs and forsterite grains.

T1 - Keck AO observations of Io in and out of eclipse JO - ICARUS JF - ICARUS Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 169 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 250 SN - 00191035 AB - We present adaptive optics (AO) observations of Io taken with the W.M. Keck II telescope on 18 December 2001 (UT) before the satellite went into eclipse, and while it was in Jupiter''s shadow. Making these kind of Io-in-eclipse observations, as well as the associated data reduction and analysis are challenging; hence one focus of the paper is to explain the methods and tools used for these data sets. For the sunlit images Io itself was used as the wavefront reference source, while nearby Ganymede was used as reference ‘star’ when Io was in eclipse. Observations were obtained in K′-, L′-, and M-bands. The sunlit images have been deconvolved using MISTRAL. The Io-in-eclipse data were deconvolved with IDAC and MISTRAL. The former gives better results, both in absolute photometry and in matching the original images. We determined the flux densities of the hot spots from the original Io-in-eclipse data with StarFinder, as well as from the deconvolved images by integrating the intensity over the relevant areas. We determined the highly anisoplanatic PSF via a FFT method from the original data, and used this in StarFinder and as a starting PSF for IDAC and MISTRAL. We derived temperatures and areal coverage of all 19 spots detected in both K′- and L′-band images of Io-in-eclipse. We also determined temperatures and areal coverage of the hot spots visible on the L′- and M-band images of sunlit Io. Most volcanoes contain a compact hot ‘core’ (≲10 km2 at 600–800 K) within a larger area at lower temperatures (e.g., ∼102104 km2 at 300–500 K). The total heat flow contributed by these active volcanoes is 0.2 W m−2, ∼8% of the average global heat flow measured at 5–20 μm by Veeder et al. [J. Geophys. Res. 99 (1994) 17095].

The authors have integrated core concepts from art, perceptual science, and psychology to develop a new toolset, Interactive Palette Tools (IPT).The IPT address each of these questions with a prototype plug-in to the computer software "Adobe Illustrator." This collection of tools will help designers choose and use colors effectively. The IPT are coordinated through a palette browser that displays named palettes. A drop-down arrow lets the user hide or show each associated palette. Large swatch sets are displayed on multiple lines. The authors enhanced their version with the nudger feature, palette sorting by theme color, and corresponding reference imagery available in the image and composition tools. During the early implementation phase of the IPT, the authors conducted a Web-based survey of individuals who work with color. INSET: Previous Work..

The apparatus consisted of a 0.79-g NdFeB disk-shaped permanent-magnet rotor levitated by a ferrite magnet with a diamagnetic stabilizer made of either bismuth or graphite, all in a bell-jar vacuum chamber to eliminate air friction on the rotor. The equilibrium position of the rotor was statically and dynamically stable, according to theoretical calculations based on the magnetic-image method. In dynamic tests, the rotor of the diamagnetic bearing was spun up to 100 Hz by a tangential jet of nitrogen gas and then was allowed to spin down freely to measure the rotational losses. The rotational losses varied with the frequency of the rotation, indicating that most of the losses were mainly due to eddy currents. Minor losses due to magnetic inhomogeneities in the permanent magnets and diamagnetic parts were also observed over a small frequency range.

Distributed electromagnetic coupling effects include magnetic coupling of adjacent interconnects and/or planar spiral inductors, substrate coupling due to stray electric currents in a conductive substrate, and full-wave electromagnetic radiation. These coupling mechanisms are inclusively simulated by solving the full-wave Maxwell's equations using a three-dimensional (3-D) time-domain finite-element method. This simulation approach is quite general and can be used for circuit layouts that include isolation wells, guard rings, and 3-D metallic structures. A state-variable behavioral modeling procedure is used to construct simple linear models that mimic the distributed electromagnetic effects. These state-variable models can easily be incorporated into a VHDL-AMS simulation providing a means to include distributed electromagnetic effects into a circuit simulation.

Improving agronomic practices, post-harvest shrub handling, and optimizing latex extraction and purification protocols during bioprocessing are hampered by the relatively cumbersome latex quantification methods currently employed. Current methods require several hours before analytical results can be obtained.The object of our study was to develop and test a near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic method for rapid quantification of latex in both wet and dried P. argentatum homogenate and purified latex samples. The procedure was tested on latex samples from Ficus elastica (Indian rubber tree), Helianthus annuus (sunflower), Hevea brasiliensis (Brazilian or para rubber tree) and Taraxacum kok-saghyz (Russian dandelion).P. argentatum latex could be accurately quantified, over a wide concentration range of 0 to 25 mg/ml. The correlations between the measured rubber content and the rubber content predicted by NIR were 0.96 and 0.91 for dry and wet samples, respectively. The presence of homogenate components unrelated to the latex fraction did not perturb the correlations obtained. Similar predictive models could be used to measure the rubber content in F. elastica, H. annuus, H. brasilensis and T. kok-saghyz.

Since boron has been shown to improve the oxidation stability of alloys near this composition, we explore the effect of adding boron on the thermal expansion anisotropy of Mo5+ySi3−yBx (T1) and subsequently the adjoining phases in thermal equilibrium. Powder X-ray diffraction was conducted at high temperatures using high energy (>40 keV) synchrotron X-rays. All of the intermetallics in this system (Mo5SiB2, MoSi2, MoB and Mo3Si) have moderate CTE values ranging from 7.17 ppm/°C for the cubic Mo3Si to nearly 14 ppm/°C for the c-axis of Mo5Si3B. The nearly isotropic TEA for Mo5B2Si was confirmed. The variability of the TEA of Mo5Si3B from 1.83 to 2.43 is explained in terms of the site occupancy and the change of the inter-atomic spacing of the Mo atom chains along the c-axis.

In the present study, the recognition of epitope variants by human cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) was investigated. Human CD8+ CTL clones were specific for NP418–426 epitope variants within one subtype of influenza virus or cross-reactive with hetero-subtypic variants. Positions in the 9-mer were identified as determinants of CTL-specificity. The in vivo existence of T cells cross-reactive with homo- and hetero-subtypic variants of the epitope was confirmed with virus-specific polyclonal T cell populations obtained from HLA-B*3501+ blood donors. Based on CTL recognition patterns and the history of infection as assessed by serology, it was hypothesized that consecutive infections with influenza viruses containing different variants of the epitope select for cross-reactive T cells in vivo.

Influenza virus type- and/or subtype-specific monoclonal antibodies (capture antibodies) were covalently coupled to size- or color-coded microspheres. The antibody-coupled microspheres were used to capture the influenza viruses in the sample, and the bound viruses were then detected and quantified with a cocktail of fluorochrome-conjugated, influenza virus-specific polyclonal antibodies (reporter antibodies) using flow cytometry. By utilizing appropriate size- or color-coded microspheres, the multiplexed immunoassay can be readily formatted into a duplexed assay for influenza virus typing (A vs. B) or a four-plexed assay for simultaneous typing and subtyping (A vs. B and H1 vs. H3).

T1 - Intracoronary radiotherapy with a 188rhenium liquid-filled PTCA balloon system in in-stent restenosis: acute and long-term angiographic results, as well as 1-year clinical follow-up JO - International Journal of Cardiology JF - International Journal of Cardiology Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 95 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 34 SN - 01675273 AB - Background: Intracoronary radiotherapy with β- and γ-emitters has been shown to reduce the risk of restenosis after balloon angioplasty and after coronary stenting. The present study addresses the question whether intracoronary radiotherapy using the 188rhenium liquid-filled PTCA balloon system is feasible, safe and effective in cases of in-stent restenosis. Acute and long-term angiographic results as well as clinical events within 1 year after the procedure were evaluated. Methods and results: From September 1999 to April 2000, 41 patients (mean age 60±10 years, 33 male, 8 female) with symptomatic in-stent restenosis underwent repeat PTCA and immediate intracoronary brachytherapy. After successful repeat PTCA (residual stenosis less than 30% in diameter), a second standard PTCA catheter was inflated with liquid 188rhenium in the redilated in-stent restenosis for 315–880, mean 540±155 s with low pressure (3 atm) in order to reach 30 Gy at 0.5 mm depth of the vessel wall. In all patients with successful reintervention, intracoronary radiotherapy was unproblematically performed; in 16 patients, 21 new stents were implanted during the procedure—either immediately before or after radiation therapy. During follow-up, four episodes of stent thrombosis with subsequent myocardial infarction occurred in three patients (8 days, 37 days, 5 months and 6 months after the procedure, respectively). This complication was seen exclusively in patients with newly implanted stents. One patient of the stent group died suddenly 46 days after the procedure. All 40 surviving patients underwent repeat angiography in cases of repeat angina or routinely 6 months after brachytherapy, respectively. In the redilated target vessels without new stenting, restenosis (stenosis >50% in diameter) or reocclusion was observed in only 5 of 25 (=20%) cases, but in the restented target lesions, in 10 of 15 (=67%). Event-free survival (death, myocardial infarction, TVR) at 1 year after repeat dilatation and subsequent brachytherapy was 80% for patients not newly stented, but only 44% for patients with new stents. Conclusions: Intracoronary radiation therapy with the liquid-filled β-emitting 188rhenium balloon is a safe and effective therapy in cases of in-stent restenosis. The positive effect of irradiation, however, is abolished if a new stent is needed. In the not newly stented patients, 1-year follow-up is encouraging.

The dependence of the surface electron temperature on the film structure was investigated. Vanadium was studied as possible padding layer for increasing the laser damage threshold of metal mirrors. The results, for 300 K K, where Te is the effective electron temperature, show a reduction of the thermoreflectivity signal, ΔRmax for the multi-layer structure as compared to the single layer film. This reduction signifies a drop in the surface electron temperature that is in agreement with previous work. Damage experiments, in the high fluence regime, where the thermomodulation data can no longer be related to the effective electron temperature, show that the padding layer does not improve the damage threshold as previously suggested. The experimental results are analyzed within the framework of the two-temperature model (TTM), which agrees well with both thermomodulation and damage results.

The quantum chromodynamics on a chip (QCDOC) architecture has two attractive and unusual features, a very high degree of communication parallelism and a very low latency. The result appears to be a design with highly scalable parallel performance. The QCDOC high per formance network allows a very high level of parallelism and very fast solutions, for a number of basic algorithms of wide interest. Because of the high level of parallelism, small problem sizes per processor are feasible, with the result that the entire problem fits in the on-chip, L2 cache, memory. Authors expect that the performance as a fraction of peak speed will be comparable to that of a vector machine. The machine is scalable by design, and is recognized to be very cost effective per teraflop of sustained performance. The machine should excel especially for problems for which large numbers of timesteps are the figure of merit.

This node is a prototype of the latest generation AlphaServer systems, which are designed to scale up to 128 processors per node. The 21364 processor, code-named EV7, is the latest in the Alpha processor line. The EV7 design emphasizes high memory performance in order to overcome some of the performance issues associated with the increasing gap between processor and memory speeds. The performance of a 16-processor node is examined here in terms of memory performance, intranode MPI communication performance, and also with a number of complete applications. The performance reported through this work is taken from a pre-production node running at a clock rate of 1.2 GHz. Due to the excellent main-memory bus bandwidth, a higher performance should be achievable on nodes using the EV7 processor in comparison to the existing EV68 at a similar clock-speed used in the existing AlphaServer ES45 nodes.

The width and depth of the crater for each impact event are provided in tabulated form and graphed as a function of velocity. The impacts were simulated using an explicit Lagrangian finite element model. A residual stress map over a cross-section through the crater was also measured by the Contour Method for the 2.2 km/s impact. The predominant feature of the stress map was a peak compressive stress of 1100 MPa, which is 1.6 times the yield strength, centered approximately one crater diameter below the crater floor. Residual stresses in the as-received HSLA-100 plate were also measured and were used to evaluate the effect of initial stresses on the model prediction. Good agreement is shown between the numerical simulation of the impact event and the experimental data.

The energetics and dynamics of peptide fragmentation were deduced by modeling the time- and energy-resolved survival curves for each precursor ion using an RRKM based approach developed in our laboratory. Accurate dissociation parameters can be obtained from these experiments because collision-energy-resolved SID data are very sensitive to both the energetics and dynamics of dissociation. We found that transition from selective to non-selective fragmentation as ion kinetic energy is increased is associated with a substantial (ca. 0.5 eV) increase in the dissociation energy and a 3–4 orders of magnitude increase in the pre-exponential factor. Dissociation thresholds for angiotensin analogs derived from the experimental data are as follows: 1.62 eV for RVYIHAF and RVYIHPF, 1.14 eV for RVYIHDF and 1.13 eV for DRVYIHPF. Pre-exponential factors of 8.2×1011, 7.2×1012, 3.1×108, and 5.0×107 s-1 were obtained for RVYIHPF, RVYIHAF, RVYIHDF, and DRVYIHPF, respectively. Contribution from shattering to the total decomposition of the precursor ion increases for kinetically hindered fragmentation. The largest contribution is observed for a peptide ion that has the largest negative reaction entropy—DRVYIHPF.

The approach is based on manipulating the spatial distribution of an ion cloud inside an FTICR trap during electron irradiation, which is realized by using both on-resonance pre-excitation of the ions and sustained off-resonance irradiation (SORI). The achieved fragmentation efficiency is compared with the theoretical prediction. This method may be useful in biological applications of FTICR, such as identification of posttranslational modifications in proteins and de novo sequencing, where the ECD technique is most applicable.

When combined with mass spectrometry, cross-linking can reveal protein topology and identify contact sites between the peptide surfaces. When applied to surface-exposed proteins from pathogenic organisms, the method can reveal structural details that are useful in vaccine design. In order to investigate the possibilities of applying cross-linking on larger protein complexes, we selected the urease enzyme from Helicobacter pylori as a model. This membrane-associated protein complex consists of two subunits: α (26.5 kDa) and β (61.7 kDa). Three (αβ) heterodimers form a trimeric (αβ)3 assembly which further associates into a unique dodecameric 1.1 MDa complex composed of four (αβ)3 units. Cross-linked peptides from trypsin-digested urease complex were analyzed by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT–ICR MS) and molecular modeling. Two potential cross-linked peptides (present in the cross-linked sample but undetectable in α, β, and native complex) were assigned. Molecular modeling of urease αβ complex and trimeric urease units (αβ)3 revealed a linkage site between the α-subunit and the β-subunit, and an internal cross-linkage in the β-subunit.

Because several altered proteins in the comparison between AD patients and healthy controls individuals are isoforms of glycoproteins, it is important to determine if the modifying glycans are also altered. FT-ICR MS and fragmentation of glycopeptides with infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) offers abundant fragment ions through breakage at the glycosidic linkages with excellent mass accuracy, which facilitates the structural determination of the site-specific N-linked glycosylation. We present results from a structural comparison of proteins from three AD patients and three control individuals of different glycosylated isomers of α-1-antitrypsin, β-trace and apolipoprotein J.

Then the sail would be dropped and the craft would coast alone to deep space. We propose that the sail be retained longer. Then the density of the interplanetary medium could be determined by measuring the drag force on the huge sail using radiometric navigational data. Such an experiment would yield an independent, new type of measurement of the interplanetary medium and should be pursued.

This paper develops the mathematical and statistical foundation for a fully multivariate extension of the QMOM using principal components analysis (PCA). In essence, the full particle distribution function is systematically replaced by a set of lower-order mixed moments and corresponding multivariate quadrature points optimally assigned through PCA and back projection. The resulting PCA–QMOM is illustrated for a multivariate normal particle population in order to compare quadrature point assignments with analytic results, but the method is applicable to arbitrary distributions. Physical and optical properties can be reliably estimated by summation over the PCA-assigned quadrature points. Application of the PCA–QMOM to the dynamics of generally mixed particle populations evolving under condensation, coagulation, and sintering is described in the following paper (Part II).

The resulting PCA-QMOM provides a versatile method for moment closure illustrated for generally mixed, multivariate, particle populations evolving under condensation, coagulation, sintering, and simultaneous processes. The method is illustrated using a 2h-point quadrature version of the PCA-QMOM, where h is the number of coordinate dimensions, developed in the preceding paper (Paper I). Calculations for multiple particle populations interacting through coagulation are also presented. A theory is developed for the time-dependence of the covariance matrix of a multicomponent particle population evolving under a size-independent coagulation rate. It is found that the rank of the h×h covariance matrix, for h components, approaches unity at long time as the particle population evolves to an internally mixed, self-preserving size distribution state.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 43 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 696 EP - 710 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948763 AB - An experiment investigating flow around a single complex building was performed in 2000. Sonic anemometers were placed around the building, and two-dimensional wind velocities were recorded. An energy-budget and wind-measuring station was located upstream to provide stability and inflow conditions. In general, the sonic anemometers were located in a horizontal plane around the building at a height of 2.6 m above the ground. However, at the upwind wind station, two levels of the wind were measured. The resulting database can be sampled to produce mean wind fields associated with specific wind directions such as 210°, 225°, and 240°. The data are available generally and should be useful for testing computational fluid dynamical models for flow around a building. An in-house Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes approach was used to compare with the mean wind fields for the predominant wind directions. The numerical model assumed neutral flow and included effects from a complex array of trees in the vicinity of the building. Two kinds of comparisons are presented: 1) direct experimental versus modeled vector comparisons and 2) a numerical metric approach that focuses on wind magnitude and direction errors. The numerical evaluation generally corroborates the vector-to-vector inspection, showing reasonable agreement for the mean wind fields around the building. However, regions with special challenges for the model were identified. In particular, recirculation regions were especially difficult for the model to capture correctly. In the 240° case, there is a tendency for the model to exaggerate the turning effect in the wind caused by the effect of the building. Two different kinds of simulations were performed: 1) predictive calculations with a reasonable but not high-fidelity representation of the building's architectural complexity and 2) postexperiment calculations in which a large number of architectural features were well represented. Although qualitative evidence from inspection of the angles of the vectors in key areas such as around the southeast corner of the building indicated an improvement from the higher-fidelity representation of the building, the general numerical evaluation indicated little difference in the quality of the two solutions.

The method exploits negative charging of the floating probe capacitance by fast flows before the expanding plasma reaches the probe. The temporal profiles of the plasma density can be obtained from the voltage traces of the discharge of the charged probe capacitance by the ion current from the expanding plasma. The temporal profiles of the plasma density, at two different distances from the surface of the ferroelectric plasma source, could be further fitted by using the density profiles for the expanding plasma. This gives the initial values of the plasma density and electron temperature at the surface. The method could be useful for any pulsed discharge, which is accompanied by considerable electromagnetic noise, if the initial plasma parameters might be deduced from measurements in expanding plasma. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The effect of the displacement of the center of diffraction, which is caused by sample movement during compression, is corrected by an additional calibration. Unit-cell dimensions, measured up to P=5.7 GPa and T=900 K, were derived from the refinement results and fitted to the high-temperature Birch–Murnaghan equation of state. With (∂KT/∂P)T fixed at 4, we obtained K0=72.8(±2.4) GPa, (∂KT/∂T)P=-0.04(±0.01) GPa K-1, and αT (K-1)=3.7(±1.6)×10-5+9.7(±3.5)×10-8T. Our data are compared with previous experimental data involving shock wave, static compression, ultrasonic, and thermal-expansion measurements and with theoretical predictions. The results demonstrate that the newly developed high-pressure high-temperature system for in situ neutron diffraction is reliable. It was also found that the crystalline orientation of Al grains became highly preferred when the sample was heated to 900 K at ∼4 GPa. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Identical Au depth profiles, as a function of atomic areal density, were obtained for both irradiation temperatures. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and analytical electron microscopy were used to determine the one-dimensional expansion in the amorphous state produced at 295 K relative to that in the slightly damaged state produced at 873 K, based on the Au reference markers. In addition, the redshift of the plasmon-loss peak in the electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) was used to measure the local density changes. Comparison of the three methods indicates that the XPS and EELS methods were the most reliable, yielding a volume expansion of (11.5±2)% for the amorphous state in 6H-SiC at 295 K. The volume expansion in the slightly damaged state at 873 K was determined to be 0.9% by EELS. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

An equation for a circular beam with a linearly varying cross-section is derived and used to calculate the resonance frequency shift. We have established a model to discuss the boundary condition effect on the resonance frequency. The Young’s modulus of the quartz fibers has been determined by measuring the resonance frequency, and the geometry, and by applying the model that treats the influence of the type of clamp. The mean value from measurements of the fundamental resonance on 14 different microfibers is 70±6 GPa. This mean value is close to 72 GPa, the Young’s modulus of bulk fused quartz. Four resonance modes were observed in high vacuum and air. The mechanical resonance in high vacuum is linear at the fundamental vibration mode, and nonlinear for higher modes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In thermal equilibrium the magnetic contact is spin polarized, whereas the organic semiconductor is unpolarized. The organic semiconductor must be driven far out of local thermal equilibrium by an electric current to achieve significant spin current injection. However, if the injecting contact has metallic conductivity, its electron distribution cannot be driven far from thermal equilibrium by practical current densities. Thus, quasi-equilibration between the conjugated organic semiconductor and the metallic contact must be suppressed to achieve effective spin injection. This requires a spin-dependent barrier to electrical injection that may be due either to tunneling through the depletion region of a large Schottky barrier or to tunneling through a thin, insulating, interface layer. Schottky barrier formation on conjugated organic semiconductors differs from that on inorganic semiconductors inasmuch as contacts made to organic semiconductors often follow near-ideal Schottky behavior, thus permitting the energy barrier to electrical injection to be varied over a wide range by using metals with different work functions. In addition, insulating tunnel barriers to organic semiconductors based on organic molecules can be conveniently fabricated using self-assembly techniques. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Room-temperature CER spectra exhibited three features which are at lower energy than the GaN band gap and are associated with the quantum well. The position of the lowest-energy experimental peak, attributed to the ground-state quantum well transition, exhibited a limited Stark shift except at large reverse bias when a redshift in the peak energy was observed. Realistic band models of the quantum well samples were constructed using self-consistent Schrödinger–Poisson solutions, taking polarization and screening effects in the quantum well fully into account. The model predicts an initial blueshift in transition energy as reverse bias voltage is increased, due to the cancellation of the polarization electric field by the depletion region field and the associated shift due to the quantum-confined Stark effect. A redshift is predicted to occur as the applied field is further increased past the flatband voltage. While the data and the model are in reasonable agreement for voltages past the flatband voltage, they disagree for smaller values of reverse bias, when charge is stored in the quantum well, and no blueshift is observed experimentally. To eliminate the blueshift and screen the electric field, we speculate that electrons in the quantum well are trapped in localized states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-angle annular dark-field imaging in an aberration-corrected dedicated scanning TEM, and image simulations were used to study the morphology, size, and crystallographic orientation of the Au nanoclusters with respect to the STO matrix, as well as the interface structure between the Au nanoclusters and STO. Gold ion implantation at 300 K leads to amorphization of the STO surface layer, which is corrugated to form bumps and valleys on the surface. Annealing at 1275 K for 10 h leads to epitaxial recrystallization of the amorphized layer within which Au clusters of several nanometers and a narrow size distribution were formed. Implantation at 975 K and subsequent annealing produces much larger Au clusters ∼50 nm in diameter and a very wide size distribution. The precipitated Au clusters possess an epitaxial orientation with the STO, such that Au[001]//STO[001] and Au(100)//STO(100). The critical cluster size for transition from strain-matched interfaces to dislocation relaxed interfaces has been found to be ∼7 nm. Cavities formed by condensation of vacancies were faceted along {001} and {011} planes in the STO matrix. It is generally inferred that implantation below a critical temperature may lead to a finer Au cluster size. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

These dependences were measured at different powers of the irradiation dose (power of the x‐ray tube) and at different temperatures of the samples. The experimental results suggest the existence of large‐size complexes of defects, which include antisite defects and impurity ions, the exchange of charge carriers between which during and after irradiation leads to luminescence of the impurity ions. Transfer of charge carriers between isolated elements of the pairs of antisite defects (not interacting with the impurity ions) leads to the formation of a competing channel of recombination luminescence in the UV region of the spectra. The decay of fluorescence attributable to transitions in the Mn2+ and Cr3+ ions depending on the time elapsed after the termination of x‐ray irradiation points to the existence of various combinations of antisite defects in the surroundings of these ions.

Both methods require an initial guess for the reaction pathway. A poorly chosen initial guess can cause slow convergence, convergence to an incorrect pathway, or even failed electronic structure force calculations along the guessed pathway. This paper presents a growing string method that can find minimum energy pathways and transition states without the requirement of an initial guess for the pathway. The growing string begins as two string fragments, one associated with the reactants and the other with the products. Each string fragment is grown separately until the fragments converge. Once the two fragments join, the full string moves toward the minimum energy pathway according to the algorithm for the string method. This paper compares the growing string method to the string method and to the nudged elastic band method using the alanine dipeptide rearrangement as an example. In this example, for which the linearly interpolated guess is far from the minimum energy pathway, the growing string method finds the saddle point with significantly fewer electronic structure force calculations than the string method or the nudged elastic band method. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A series of one-dimensional test problems are examined beginning with classical linear problems and ending with complex shock interactions. The problems considered are: (1) linear advection of a Gaussian pulse in density, (2) Sod''s shock tube problem, (3) the “peak” shock tube problem, (4) a version of the Shu and Osher shock entropy wave interaction and (5) the Woodward and Colella interacting shock wave problem. For each problem and method, run times, density error norms and convergence rates are reported for each method as produced from a common code test-bed. The linear problem exhibits the advertised convergence rate for both methods as well as the expected large disparity in overall error levels; WENO5 has the smaller errors and an enormous advantage in overall efficiency (in accuracy per unit CPU time). For the nonlinear problems with discontinuities, however, we generally see both first-order self-convergence of error as compared to an exact solution, or when an analytic solution is not available, a converged solution generated on an extremely fine grid. The overall comparison of error levels shows some variation from problem to problem. For Sod''s shock tube, PLMDE has nearly half the error, while on the peak problem the errors are nearly the same. For the interacting blast wave problem the two methods again produce a similar level of error with a slight edge for the PLMDE. On the other hand, for the Shu–Osher problem, the errors are similar on the coarser grids, but favors WENO by a factor of nearly 1.5 on the finer grids used. In all cases holding mesh resolution constant though, PLMDE is less costly in terms of CPU time by approximately a factor of 6. If the CPU cost is taken as fixed, that is run times are equal for both numerical methods, then PLMDE uniformly produces lower errors than WENO for the fixed computation cost on the test problems considered here.

Experiments are currently under way to develop high-efficiency, diode-pumped laser systems that use Sr5(PO4)3F crystals doped with Yb3+ ions (called Yb:S-FAP) as the amplifying medium. The progress has been protracted since the cylindrical crystal boules have experienced an extremely high rate of fracture when they are cut to form rectangular amplifier slabs. It was hypothesized that fracture was caused by residual stresses acting in the presence of small chip-like defects generated by the cutting process. Attempts were made to measure the residual stress using X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, ultrasound, photo-elasticity, and the slitting method (also called crack compliance). The latter method turned out to be the most effective technique and it is presented here in detail. The measured residual stress field in the crystal boule closely resembled the result expected from a thermal process, with a maximum tensile stress of 50 MPa at the center of the crystal. Additionally, the experimental residual stresses were applied to a finite element model of the boule and various cutting plans were simulated to try and minimize the stresses acting along the edges of the cut. It was determined that a cut from only one side of the crystal boule and slightly off the central axis significantly reduced the stresses from the original cutting plan which used a two-sided cut through the center of the crystal. The modeling results showed that the maximum principal stress at the cut tip was reduced by 40% with the one-sided, off-center cutting plan, which would significantly reduce propensity for fracture during cutting.

Polyethylenimine (PEI) was functionalized with bromo- or chloroacetic acid to give an aminocarboxylate chelating group, which effectively binds lead. The resulting polymer, PEIC, has extraction properties similar to the molecular chelator ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. A series of studies was done to probe optimum conditions for lead extraction from soils obtained from the Cal-West Superfund site in New Mexico that contained approximately 10,000 ppm of Pb. In batch extraction experiments using polymer functionalized at two different levels, the polymers removed greater than 97% of the lead from the soils. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that the selective extraction of lead could be controlled by varying polymer functionalization levels. Concentration and regeneration of the polymers using ultrafiltration was also demonstrated. Release of lead from the polymer was accomplished by acidification to pH 1 with HCl. Subsequent ultrafiltration allowed recovery of the extractant polymer for reuse.

The emergence of federal and state programs for environmental health tracking and the availability of exposure monitoring through biomarkers creates the opportunity to apply PBPK models to estimate exposures to environmental contaminants from urine, blood, and tissue samples. However, reconstructing exposures for large populations is complicated by often having too few biomarker samples, large uncertainties about exposures, and large interindividual variability. In this paper, we use an illustrative case study to identify some of these difficulties, and for a process for confronting them by reconstructing population-scale exposures using Bayesian inference. The application consists of interpreting biomarker data from eight adult males with controlled exposures to trichloroethylene (TCE) as if the biomarkers were random samples from a large population with unknown exposure conditions. The TCE concentrations in blood from the individuals fell into two distinctly different groups even though the individuals were simultaneously in a single exposure chamber. We successfully reconstructed the exposure scenarios for both subgroups - although the reconstruction of one subgroup is different than what is believed to be the true experimental conditions. We were however unable to predict with high certainty the concentration of TCE in air.Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology (2004) 14, 204-213. doi:10.1038/sj.jea.7500314 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Exposure Analysis & Environmental Epidemiology is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The extent of human exposure to anthropogenic contaminants in the environment is a complex function of the amount of chemical emitted, its physicochemical properties and reactivity, the nature of the environment, and the characteristics of the pathways for human exposure, such as inhalation, dermal contacts, and intake of food and water. For some chemicals, the location of emissions relative to areas of high population density or intense food production may also be an important factor. We explore the relative importance of these variables using the regionally segmented Berkeley-Trent (BETR) North America contaminant fate model and data for food production patterns and population density for North America. The model is applied to four contaminants emitted to air: benzene, carbon tetrachloride, benzo[a]pyrene, and 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin. The total continental intake fraction (iF), relating exposure quantity to emission quantity, is employed as a metric for assessing population exposure to these contaminants. Results show that the use of continentally averaged parameters for population density and food production provides an accurate estimate of the median of iF calculated for emissions in individual regions; however, iF can range from this median by up to 3 orders of magnitude, especially for chemicals transferred to humans through foods. The locations of population and food production relative to sources of chemicals are important variables that should be considered when assessing the possible human health impacts of chemical emissions as in life-cycle assessment.

During the CP contact time, the 1H magnetization is spin-locked along the magic angle by the LG sequence and the irradiation offset of the S spins (e.g., 15N) is modulated sinusoidally with a constant RF amplitude. It is shown experimentally that the LG sequence significantly lengthens the proton spin–lattice relaxation time in the tilted rotating frame and that the frequency modulation shortens the cross-polarization time for non-protonated S spins. As a result of substantially increasing the difference in these relaxation rates, the non-protonated and protonated S spins can be more efficiently and more uniformly polarized with a relatively long CP contact time, making quantitative CP measurements possible. A sample of 15N-δ1-l-histidine lyophilized from a solution of pH 6.3 and a 15N-δ1-l-His labeled transmembrane helical peptide in hydrated lipid bilayers were used to illustrate the advantages of this scheme.

Diffusion encoding is provided by a stimulated echo sequence with additional z-storage that allows for a change of diffusion time without affecting the relaxation weighting. The signal is acquired stroboscopically between the pulses of a train of adiabatic double passages that induces a z-rotation counteracting the phase spread resulting from precession in the inhomogeneous static field, as demonstrated in recent approaches to the goal of high-resolution “ex situ” NMR. Simulations of the pulse sequence show that the acquired signal results from the desired coherence pathway. Successful demonstrations of the experiment were performed on a mixture of water and isopropanol.

We present here the extension of our previous low temperature method to an 18.8 T system. This new probe entailed a total redesign including a cross coil and variable capacitors that are operational at cryogenic temperatures. The limitations to sensitivity are also discussed; including a new diode network, the utilization of a cryogenic band pass filter, and the consequences of the RF profiles of the coil. Further, details of the spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei in a protein are discussed, such as the observation of the outer transitions and how to distinguish them from the desired ±1/2 transition.

It is shown experimentally that both RACP and FMCP give rise to 20% higher polarized signal intensity in comparison to CWCP. The CP matching bandwidths for CWCP and RACP are about the same. Because of its adiabaticity, FMCP has a much broader CP matching bandwidth than CWCP and RACP. In addition, the 15N RF amplitude used at the center of the FMCP matching profile is much lower than that of the CWCP and RACP matching profiles. A sample of [15N]Leu4 labeled gramicidin A oriented in lipid bilayers was used to demonstrate these experiments.

SN - 00222844 AB - Phylogenetic trees based on gene repertoires are remarkably similar to the current consensus of life history. Yet it has been argued that shared gene content is unreliable for phylogenetic reconstruction because of convergence in gene content due to horizontal gene transfer and parallel gene loss. Here we test this argument, by filtering out as noise those orthologous groups that have an inconsistent phylogenetic distribution, using two independent methods. The resulting phylogenies do indeed contain small but significant improvements. More importantly, we find that the majority of orthologous groups contain some phylogenetic signal and that the resulting phylogeny is the only detectable signal present in the gene distribution across genomes. Horizontal gene transfer or parallel gene loss does not cause systematic biases in the gene content tree.

Using these data as input to the classical rate theory of void swelling, swelling rates are computed and compared with the experimental data. Computations are performed for the ranges of physical parameters as suggested by experimental measurements or basic theory. It is found that classical rate theory predicts swelling rates in remarkably good agreement with the data for a limited set of parameter values. For example, dislocation bias factor ratios can be narrowed from the initial range of 1.1–2.0 down to the range of 1.25–1.55. An explanation is provided for the success of classical rate theory in spite of the fact that a significant fraction of interstitials form and migrate as clusters.

The displacement damage calculations use recently developed damage functions for SiC that are based on extensive molecular dynamics simulations of displacement events. Displacements per atom (DPA) cross sections for SiC have been calculated as a function of neutron energy, and they are presented here in tabular form to facilitate their use as the standard measure of displacement damage for irradiated SiC. DPA cross sections averaged over the neutron energy spectrum are calculated for neutron spectra in the cores of typical commercial reactors and in the test sample irradiation regions of several materials test reactors used in both past and present irradiation testing. Particular attention is focused on a next-generation high-temperature gas-cooled pebble bed reactor, for which the high-temperature properties of silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide composites are well suited. Calculated transmutations and activation levels in a pebble bed reactor are compared to those in other reactors.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 134 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1032 EP - 1038 SN - 00223166 AB - Polyphenolic components of green tea, such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), have potent anti-inflammatory properties. We previously showed that EGCG inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-mediated activation of the nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) pathway, partly through inhibition of IKB kinase (IKK). The NF-KB pathway may also be activated in response to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) stimulation through a distinct signal transduction pathway. We therefore hypothesized that EGCG inhibits IL-1β-mediated activation of the NF-KB pathway. Because the gene expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8), the major human neutrophil chemoattractant, is dependent on activation of NF-KB, IL-8 gene expression in human lung epithelial (A549) cells treated with human IL-1β was used as a model of IL-1β signal transduction. The EGCG markedly inhibited IL-1β-mediated IL-1β receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) degradation and the signaling events downstream from IRAK degradation: IKK activation, IKBα degradation, and NF-KB activation. In addition, EGCG inhibited phosphorylation of the p65 subunit of NF-KB. The functional consequence of this inhibition was evident by inhibition of IL-8 gene expression. Therefore, the green tea polyphenol EGCG is a potent inhibitor of IL-1β signal transduction in vitro. The proximal mechanisms of this effect involve inhibition of IRAK-dependent signaling and phosphorylation of p65.

This estimate increases to 90% during the summer months, and, overall, up to 5% of the drums stored in active treatment, storage, and disposal facilities may be pressurized. The ability to identify pressurized drums in real-time would enhance worker health and safety, reduce the potential for environmental contamination, and minimize property damage. A prototype hand-held drum pressure detection device was field tested at an active Resource Conservation and Recovery Act mixed waste operation using acoustic resonance spectroscopy technology to identify pressurized drums. The waste operation used a drum venting system that measured the actual drum pressure of retrieved drums. Drum venting system data were analyzed to quantify the ability of the drum pressure detection device to correctly identify drums with elevated internal pressure. After 456 drums were measured, the dichotomous pressure data (pressurized vs. nonpressurized) were analyzed. The relationship between the drum venting system and drum pressure detection device pressure data was found to be statistically significant. With alpha and beta values of 0.05, the negative predictive value was 0.94, the positive predictive value was 0.47, the sensitivity was 0.82, and the specificity was 0.77. Although capable of identifying nonpressurized drums, this instrument may not be appropriate for general use. Study results and critical improvements necessary to improve the instrument's predictive value, specificity, and sensitivity are presented.

On the basis of the Rietveld structure refinements of the XRD spectra at low tin concentrations, it was found that Sn4+ ions partially substitute for Fe3+ at the octahedral sites and also occupy the interstitial octahedral sites which are vacant in α-Fe2O3 corundum structure. A phase separation of α-Fe2O3 and SnO2 was observed for x≥0.4: the α-Fe2O3 structure containing tin decreases simultaneously with the increase of the SnO2 phase containing substitutional iron ions. The mean particle dimension decreases from 70 to 6 nm, as the molar fraction x increases up to x=1.0. The estimated solubility limits in the nanoparticle system (1−x)α-Fe2O3–xSnO2 synthesized under hydrothermal conditions are: x≤0.2 for Sn4+ in α-Fe2O3 and x≥0.7 for Fe3+ in SnO2.

The author, who heads the (Security) Vulnerability Assessment Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory, therefore argues that techniques used to optimize security might be useful for optimizing safety. Optimizing Security: There are three main ways to attempt to improve security—security surveys, risk assessment (or “design basis threat”), and vulnerability assessments. The latter is usually the most effective. Safety Analogs: Vulnerability assessment techniques used to improve security can be applied to safety analysis—even though safety is not ordinarily viewed as having malicious adversaries (other than hazards involving deliberate sabotage). Thinking like a malicious adversary can nevertheless have benefits in identifying safety vulnerabilities. Suggestions: The attributes of an effective safety vulnerability assessment are discussed, and recommendations are offered for how such an adversarial assessment might work. Conclusion: A safety vulnerability assessment can potentially provide new insights, a fresh and vivid perspective on safety hazards, and increased safety awareness.

By eliminating the ridge and eave vents that circulate outside air through the attic in most new houses and by moving the insulation from the attic floor to the underside of the roof, an unvented attic becomes a semiconditioned space, creating a more benign environment for space conditioning ducts. An energy trade-off is made, however, because the additional surface area (and perhaps reduced insulation thickness) increases the building loss coefficient. Other advantages and disadvantages, unrelated to energy, must also be considered. This paper addresses the energy-related effects of unvented attics in hot-dry climates based on field testing and analysis conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Features include a tight envelope, energy-efficient appliances, passive solar heating (direct gain and Trombe wall), natural cooling, solar hot water, and photovoltaics. In addition to describing this house and its performance, this paper describes the recommended design process of (1) setting a goal for energy efficiency at the outset, (2) applying rules of thumb, and (3) using computer simulation to fine-tune the design. Performance monitoring and computer simulation are combined for the best possible analysis of energy performance. In this case, energy savings are estimated as 89% heating and cooling (compared to 95 MEC), 83% electrical, and nearly 100% domestic water heating. The heating and cooling energy use is 8.96 kJ/°C · day · m² (0.44 Btu/°F ·day · fft²).

In this investigation we report interesting chemistry involving a simple salt hydrate, tetramethylammonium fluoride tetrahydrate, [(CH3)4N]F·4H2O, as a neat melt and dissolved in methanol in contact with supercritical and subcritical CO2. This hydrate is proposed as a simulant for more complex ionic liquids, to investigate any potential secondary reaction chemistry in these solvent systems with carbon dioxide. Evidence is presented for the formation of methylcarbonate, CH3O(C&z.dbnd6;O)O−, and fluoromethane, CH3F, in solution when the salt hydrate is in contact with methanol and CO2.

It offers a unique combination of X-ray fluorescence mapping, X-ray microspectroscopy and micro-X-ray diffraction. The optics allow the user to trade spot size for flux in a size range of 5-17 µm in an energy range of 3-17 keV. The focusing uses a Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror pair to image a variable-size virtual source onto the sample. Thus, the user can reduce the effective size of the source, thereby reducing the spot size on the sample, at the cost of flux. This decoupling from the actual source also allows for some independence from source motion. The X-ray fluorescence mapping is performed with a continuously scanning stage which avoids the time overhead incurred by step-and-repeat mapping schemes. The special features of this beamline are described, and some scientific results shown.

Because the thermal diffusion ratio of neon is small, an apparatus longer than a wavelength was necessary in order to easily observe the separation. The device was modular and extensible, so that arbitrarily large separations could in principle be obtained. The acoustic duct was a series of multiple, identical quarter-wavelength modules with side-branch drivers. In this way, waveforms close to that of a traveling wave were maintained in the duct, despite the high acoustic attenuation caused by the duct's small diameter and large length. The concentrations of the isotopes were measured at one end of the duct using a quadrupole mass spectrometer. For the operating frequency of 227 Hz, the maximum separation gradient obtained was 0.43%/m, and mole fluxes at zero gradient as high as 3 nmol/s were observed. Effects of turbulence, though not observed, are also discussed, and the scaling properties of this method are compared with those of traditional mixture-separation methods.

T1 - Erosion and strength degradation of biomorphic SiC JO - Journal of the European Ceramic Society JF - Journal of the European Ceramic Society Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 24 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 861 SN - 09552219 AB - Solid-particle-erosion studies were conducted on biomorphic SiC based on eucalyptus and pine, reaction-bonded (RB) SiC, and hot-pressed (HP) SiC. The erodents were angular SiC abrasives of average diameter 63, 143, or 390 μm and the impact velocity was 100 m s−1. Impact occurred at normal incidence. Material loss in all targets occurred by brittle fracture. The biomorphic specimens eroded by formation of both lateral and radial cracks and their erosion rates were higher than both conventional SiCs. The RB SiC eroded as a classic brittle material, by formation and propagation of lateral cracks. The HP SiC, the hardest target, was the most erosion resistant. In erosion of the HP SiC, the abrasive particles, especially the largest ones, fragmented upon impact. The resulting dissipation of energy led to relatively low erosion rates. Flexural strength before and after erosion was measured for the biomorphic eucalyptus, RB SiC, and HP SiC. Erosion damage reduced the flexural strengths of all of the specimens. The relative strength reductions were lowest for the biomorphic eucalyptus and highest for the HP SiC. The hot-pressed SiC responded as predicted by accepted models of impact damage in brittle solids. The responses of the biomorphic and reaction-bonded SiC specimens were modeled as if they consisted of only SiC and porosity. This approximation agreed reasonably well with observed degradations of strength.

JO - Limnology & Oceanography JF - Limnology & Oceanography Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 49 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 809 EP - 820 SN - 00243590 AB - We measured denitrification and total nitrate uptake rates in a small stream (East Fork of Walker Branch in eastern Tennessee) using a new field 15N tracer addition and modeling approach that quantifies these rates for entire stream reaches. The field experiment consisted of an 8-h addition of 99 atom% K15NO3 and a conservative solute tracer. Two 15N tracer addition experiments were performed on consecutive days, the first under ambient NO3- concentrations (23 µg N L-1) and the second with a NO3- addition of approximately 500 µg N L-1. We fit first-order NO3- uptake and two-box denitrification models to the longitudinal measurements of tracer 15N in dissolved NO3- N2, and N2O in stream water to determine rates. Total NO3- uptake rates were 0.028 m-1 (0.32 µg N m-2s-1) and 0.01 m-1(1.6 µg N m-2s-1) under ambient NO3- and with NO- addition, respectively. Denitrification rates were 0.0046 m-1 (uncertainty range of 0.002 to 0.008 m-1) and 9 x 10-5 m-1 (uncertainty range of 3 x 10-5 to 21 x 10-5 m- 1) under ambient NO3- and with NO3- addition, respectively. Denitrification resulted almost exclusively in N2 production (>99%) and comprised about 16% (±10%) of total NO3- uptake rate under ambient NO3- concentrations and about 1% (±1%) of total NO3- uptake rate with NO3- addition. Denitrification rate expressed on a mass flux basis was about 12 µmol m-2...

JO - Microbial Ecology JF - Microbial Ecology Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 47 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 396 EP - 406 SN - 00953628 AB - Taxon abundance patterns are a central focus in evolution and ecology, providing the basic architecture of natural assemblages and potential clues to their formative processes. To better interpret species abundance patterns in natural microbial communities, we examined the consequences of three fundamental types of abundance patterns--uniform, geometric, and lognormal distributions. Theoretical communities were constructed based on the three pattern types with 2000 to 20,000 species and 107 to 1010 individuals. The "dominant" species (species 1) among models that differed only in pattern type generally varied in abundance by 1 to 3 orders of magnitude. At the extremes among all the models examined, the dominant species comprised as much as 16% and as little as 0.005% of the total community. Analysis of the models and comparison with seven published surveys suggests that entire soil bacterial communities do not routinely exhibit Preston's cannonical subset of lognormal distributions. Use of the models to evaluate survey limitations showed that common diversity indices are generally sensitive to sample size over the range (50 to 200 clones) commonly used for microbial communities, emphasizing the need to compare surveys of similar size. The results collectively demonstrate that uniform, geometric, and lognormal distributions have profoundly different experimental and ecological consequences. Further, defined abundance models provide a simple quantitative tool for evaluating abundance patterns in clone libraries (even small ones) from natural communities.

The parental AA8 CHO cells are hemizygous at the FancG locus, and we identified frameshift mutations that result in N‐terminal truncations of the protein in both UV40 and NM3. Hypersensitivity to DNA cross‐linking agents, such as MMC, typically characterizes FA cells. By introducing the native CHO FancG gene into mutant NM3, we demonstrate that hamster FancG fully corrects the 3‐fold sensitivity to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) as well as the 10‐fold sensitivity to MMC, whereas resistance to ionizing radiation did not increase appreciably. In contrast, hamster cDNA transformants showed incomplete correction for both MMC and MMS sensitivity. The constitutively expressed FancG protein is present in the cytoplasmic, nuclear and chromatin fractions. FancG protein levels and subcellular localization do not change appreciably as a function of cell cycle position. Our results are consistent with roles of FancG in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments to maintain genomic stability in response to various genotoxic agents.

Our calculations show that surface composition and termination play a dominant role in determining the optical gaps and thermodynamic stability of these nanoparticles. In particular, we find that the optical gap of cubic SiC dots can be engineered as a function of their size and surface composition to obtain absorption and emission from the UV to the green. Our results suggest that SiC nanoparticles may be used to build new materials for semiconductor-based UV light sources.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 4 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 805 EP - 810 SN - 15306984 AB - First-principles (FP) calculations of the electronic and vibrational properties of three different Haeckelite structures have been performed. The relatively low cohesive energies (when compared to C60) of these phases suggest the possible synthesis of such novel carbon arrangements. In agreement with previous tight-binding calculations (Terrones, H.; Terrones, M.; Hernandèz, E.; Grobert, N.; Charlier, J.-C.; Ajayan, P. M. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2000, 84, 1716), the Haeckelite structures exhibit a clear metallic behavior. In addition, within the ab initio framework, we predict the IR and Raman frequencies, which constitute the fingerprint of their structure and allow for their unambiguous identification. STM images and quantum conductances of various tubular Haeckelite structures are also calculated within a tight-binding framework. The three investigated Haeckelite structures are shown to be good candidates of conducting wires with great potential in nanoelectronics. The results presented here provide a catalog of properties that will aid in the identification of other Haeckelite structures as well as carbon systems containing pentagonal and heptagonal defects.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 4 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 817 EP - 821 SN - 15306984 AB - Nature has evolved dynamic, non-equilibrium mechanisms for assembling hierarchical complexes of nanomaterials. A critical element to many of these assembly mechanisms involves the active and directed transport of materials by biomolecular motor proteins such as kinesin. In the present work, nanocrystal quantum dots (nQDs) were assembled and organized using microtubule (MT) filaments as nanoscale scaffolds. nQD density and localization were systematically evaluated by varying the concentration and distribution of functional groups within the MT structure. Confining nQD attachment to a central region within the MT enabled unaffected interaction with kinesin necessary to support active transport of nQD-MT composites. This active transport system will be further refined to control the optical properties of a surface by regulating the collective organization of nQD-MT composites.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 4 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 889 EP - 893 SN - 15306984 AB - A new scanning probe lithography scheme based on a self-assembled dendrimer monolayer on thin Ti films is presented. The method relies on the versatility of the functionalized dendrimer molecules to effectively function as etch resists by forming a densely packed self-assembled protective monolayer on a Ti film. Patterning of the Ti surface is accomplished using an AFM tip either as an ultra sharp scribe or as an electrical field point source to modify the monolayer. This, coupled to carefully selected etching conditions, allows the use of the dendrimer monolayers as both negative and positive tone resists. Facile formation of TiO2 features ca. 25 nm wide and 12 nm tall on silicon oxide and ca. 50 nm wide gaps in a thin Ti film can easily be achieved. The dendrimer resist approach can be further developed in order to improve the minimum feature size to the single dendrimer molecule level.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 4 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 943 EP - 946 SN - 15306984 AB - The study of nanoscale materials with well-controlled size and shape can be used to learn more about critical length scales for numerous physical and chemical phenomena in solids and extended systems.1,2 Small nanocrystals (below 5-nm diameter) have been shown to exhibit fully reversible single-domain structural phase transformations with large volume changes over multiple cycles. The same transformations in extended solids are accompanied by irreversible domain formation.3-5 Here we investigate the crossover between these regimes by studying a pressure-induced structural transformation in 4-nm-diameter nanorods varying in aspect ratio from 1 to 10. We find that above a critical length the nanorods fracture at the moment of the structural transformation. This work demonstrates the use of simple, well-defined nanoscale systems to examine fundamental structural phenomena found in extended solids.

JO - Nature Biotechnology JF - Nature Biotechnology Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 22 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 583 EP - 588 SN - 10870156 AB - Phytoremediation of highly water soluble and volatile organic xenobiotics is often inefficient because plants do not completely degrade these compounds through their rhizospheres. This results in phytotoxicity and/or volatilization of chemicals through the leaves, which can cause additional environmental problems. We demonstrate that endophytic bacteria equipped with the appropriate degradation pathway improve the in planta degradation of toluene. We introduced the pTOM toluene-degradation plasmid of Burkholderia cepacia G4 into B. cepacia L.S.2.4, a natural endophyte of yellow lupine. After surface-sterilized lupine seeds were successfully inoculated with the recombinant strain, the engineered endophytic bacteria strongly degraded toluene, resulting in a marked decrease in its phytotoxicity, and a 50-70% reduction of its evapotranspiration through the leaves. This strategy promises to improve the efficiency of phytoremediating volatile organic contaminants.

This analysis relies on the models of Commins [this proceedings, 2003] and employs subtraction of median extinction values from the measured magnitudes of Type Ia supernovae found in spiral galaxies, but combined with observational selection effects. Then, we estimate corrections to cosmological parameters. This work generally supports the SCP and Hi-Z team discovery of a non-zero Λ. One of the goals of some of the dust treatments was to find a solution to the dust corrections that could “re-center” the fit to cosmological parameters from supernovae on the Ωtot=1 line segment in the Ωm−ΩΛ plane. Such a “solution” was found and requires more dust in distant SCP cosmological supernovae than in nearby galaxies (the Calan–Tololo supernovae). Other host galaxy dust scenarios with differing amounts of dust and consequences for cosmology are explored. No convincing scenario of dust has yet been able to be developed for host galaxies in the observed SCP data which include observational selection that yields a Λ=0 universe.

This program will provide an exceptional data set of well-studied SNe in the nearby smooth Hubble flow that can be used as calibration for the current and future programs designed to use SNe to measure the cosmological parameters. The first key ingredient for this program is a reliable supply of Hubble-flow SNe systematically discovered in unprecedented numbers using the same techniques as those used in distant SNe searches. In 2002, 35 SNe were found using our test-bed pipeline for automated SN search and discovery. The pipeline uses images from the asteroid search conducted by the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking group at JPL. Improvements in our subtraction techniques and analysis have allowed us to increase our effective SN discovery rate to ∼12 SNe/month in 2003.

Ecosystem models demonstrate the importance of examining the combined effects of the gradually rising concentration of atmospheric CO2 and the climatic change that attends it. Models to forecast future changes need data support to be useful, and data–model fusion has become essential in global change research. There is a wealth of information on plant responses to CO2 and temperature, but there have been few ecosystem-scale experiments investigating the combined or interactive effects of CO2 enrichment and warming. Factorial experiments to investigate interactions can be difficult to design, conduct, and interpret, and their results may not support predictions at the ecosystem scale – in the context of global change they will always be case studies. An alternative approach is to gain a thorough understanding of the modes of action of single factors, and rely on our understanding (as represented in models) to inform us of the probable interactions. Multifactor (CO2 × temperature) experiments remain important, however, for testing concepts, demonstrating the reality of multiple-factor influences, and reminding us that surprises can be expected. © New Phytologist (2004) doi: 10.1111/j.1469-8137.2004.01047.x [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of New Phytologist is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - New Phytologist JF - New Phytologist Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 162 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 311 EP - 322 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0028646X AB - Rising atmospheric CO2 and temperatures are probably altering ecosystem carbon cycling, causing both positive and negative feedbacks to climate. Below-ground processes play a key role in the global carbon (C) cycle because they regulate storage of large quantities of C, and are potentially very sensitive to direct and indirect effects of elevated CO2 and temperature. Soil organic matter pools, roots and associated rhizosphere organisms all have distinct responses to environmental change drivers, although availability of C substrates will regulate all the responses. Elevated CO2 increases C supply below-ground, whereas warming is likely to increase respiration and decomposition rates, leading to speculation that these effects will moderate one another. However, indirect effects on soil moisture availability and nutrient supply may alter processes in unexpected directions. Detailed, mechanistic understanding and modelling of below-ground flux components, pool sizes and turnover rates is needed to adequately predict long-term, net C storage in ecosystems. In this synthesis, we discuss the current status of below-ground responses to elevated CO2 and temperature and potential feedback effects, methodological challenges, and approaches to integrating models and measurements.

IRIS, an integral, modular, medium size (335 MWe) PWR, has been under development since the turn of the century by an international consortium led by Westinghouse and including over 20 organizations from nine countries. Described here are the features of the integral design which includes steam generators, pumps and pressurizer inside the vessel, together with the core, control rods, and neutron reflector/shield. A brief summary is provided of the IRIS approach to extended maintenance over a 48-month schedule. The unique IRIS safety-by-design approach is discussed, which, by eliminating accidents, at the design stage, or decreasing their consequences/probabilities when outright elimination is not possible, provides a very powerful first level of defense in depth. The safety-by-design allows a significant reduction and simplification of the passive safety systems, which are presented here, together with an assessment of the IRIS response to transients and postulated accidents.

The corresponding, often nonlinear, change in path length results in phase slip of the particle beam relative to a fixed-frequency accelerating waveform. Nonetheless, depending on the number and location of the fixed-points of the motion, acceleration is possible for a limited number of turns by allowing the beam to cross back and forth across the crest (cross-crest acceleration). For multiple fixed points, this asynchronous form of acceleration is facilitated by a libration path that extends from injection to extraction energy when a threshold value of accelerating voltage exceeded. Successful acceleration is accomplished when the radio frequency is made synchronous with the revolution period at the machine central orbit, or when the RF is offset in a prescribed manner that leads to staggering of phase traces on consecutive turns. The present work explores the influence of the fixed points and of RF manipulations on the longitudinal dynamics in FFAGs with a variety of path-length dependence on kinetic energy; emphasis is given to quadratic dependence as occurs in a type of accelerator currently proposed for rapid acceleration of muons.

FIGARO is designed to study fast-neutron-induced reactions that result in the emission of γ rays and neutrons, using the white neutron beam of the Weapons Neutron Research Facility. The emitted neutrons and γ rays are detected by several liquid scintillators and one high-resolution germanium or one barium-fluoride detector, respectively. As an example, the inelastic neutron scattering on Si from 4 to 20 MeV is presented and the results are compared with predictions of the nuclear model calculations performed with the codes GNASH and EMPIRE II.

The study is motivated by the importance of curved boundaries in applied and fundamental problems, especially those with Neumann conditions. Existing methods, including those employing unstructured or body-fitted meshes, are either clumsy, of low-order accuracy, or burdened with high computational overhead. The method employs elementary finite-difference meshes and places nodes on the curved boundaries to permit precise satisfaction of the boundary conditions. A key element of the method is the use of skew-tolerant algorithms to alleviate possible computational difficulties when boundary nodes are too close to interior nodes. Second-order equations and implementations are presented, easily extendable to third or higher orders. The higher-order space-time formulations and the implicit time integration's freedom from stability constraints render the approach potentially quite economical compared to conventional first-order approaches. The ability to satisfy Neumann boundary conditions accurately and economically can be a great asset in many problems, including free-boundary problems involving phase change and/or surface tension, as well as in pressure computations in Navier-Stokes solvers.

Two nonlinear feature extraction algorithms based on this framework are investigated. The first is a kernel function feature extraction (KFFE) algorithm. A disturbance term is introduced to regularize the algorithm. Moreover, it is revealed that some existing nonlinear feature extraction algorithms are the special cases of this KFFE algorithm. The second feature extraction algorithm, mean–STD11STD: Standard Deviation.–norm feature extraction algorithm, is also derived from the framework. Experiments based on both synthetic and real data are presented to demonstrate the performance of both feature extraction algorithms.

Scientists are interested in developing interactive settings for exploring large data sets in an intuitive environment. The input consists of registered 3-D data. A geometric method using Bezier curves is used for the trajectory analysis and classification of gestures. The hand gesture speed is incorporated into the algorithm to enable correct recognition from trajectories with variations in hand speed. The method is robust and reliable: correct hand identification rate is 99.9% (from 1641 frames), modes of hand movements are correct 95.6% of the time, recognition rate (given the right mode) is 97.9%. An application to gesture-controlled visualization of 3D bioinformatics data is also presented.

Since ferroelastic transitions are driven by strain, the nonlinear elastic free energy is expressed as an expansion in the appropriate (i.e., order parameter) strain variables. However, the displacement fields are the real independent variables, whereas the components of the strain tensor are related to each other through elastic compatibility relations. These constraints manifest as an anisotropic long-range interaction which drastically influences the underlying microstructure. The evolution of the microstructure is demonstrated for (i) a hexagonal-to-orthorhombic transition using a strain-based approach with explicit long-range interactions; and (ii) a cubic-to-tetragonal transition by solving the force-balance equations for the displacement fields.

This is achieved by focusing on the slowest decaying diffusive modes of the network. The proposed procedure is applied to real-world networks like a friendship network of known modular structure, and an Internet routing network. For the friendship network, its known structure is well reproduced. In case of the Internet, where the structure is far less well known, one indeed finds a modular structure, and modules can roughly be associated with individual countries. Quantitatively, the modular structure of the Internet manifests itself in an approximately 10 times larger participation ratio of its slowest decaying modes as compared to the null model—a random scale-free network. The extreme edges of the Internet are found to correspond to Russian and US military sites.

The model provides explanations of the recently observed phenomenon in the metallic phase: formation of antiferromagnetic “bubbles” around nonmagnetic impurities.

We present the magnetotransport measurements on the doped polycrystalline samples up to 23 T in the temperature range from 1.5 K. Despite the significantly lowered Tc the upper critical magnetic field Hc2 is much higher here than in the pure MgB2 and achieves values of about 25–30 Tesla at low temperatures comparable to the MgB2 samples with the highest level of impurity scattering. The anomalous temperature dependence Hc2(T) revealing a positive curvature in the overall temperature range is discussed in the framework of the two-gap superconductivity, which is still present here. As another possibility an importance of the critical fluctuations is considered within the Ullah–Dorsey scaling model.

We consider specific nanostructured superconducting geometries using superconducting materials under an applied magnetic field, with the positions of the individual vortices in samples acting as the logic states. These devices can be used as the building blocks for an alternative microelectronic architecture. We give an analytic formula for the switching times of the vortices for specific materials and geometries.

An efficient way of representing cells of different cell size, shape and orientation is presented that may be easily extended to model later stages of fruiting body formation. This LGCA model is designed to investigate whether a refractory period, a minimum response time, a maximum oscillation period and non-linear dependence of reversals of cells on C-factor are necessary assumptions for rippling. It is shown that a refractory period of 2–3 min, a minimum response time of up to 1 min and no maximum oscillation period best reproduce rippling in the experiments of Myxococcus xanthus. Non-linear dependence of reversals on C-factor is critical at high cell density. Quantitative simulations demonstrate that the increase in wavelength of ripples when a culture is diluted with non-signaling cells can be explained entirely by the decreased density of C-signaling cells. This result further supports the hypothesis that levels of C-signaling quantitatively depend on and modulate cell density. Analysis of the interpenetrating high density waves shows the presence of a phase shift analogous to the phase shift of interpenetrating solitons. Finally, a model for swarming, aggregation and early fruiting body formation is presented.

JO - Physics of Fluids JF - Physics of Fluids Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 16 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1668 EP - 1693 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 10706631 AB - The turbulent Rayleigh–Taylor instability is investigated in the limit of strong mode-coupling using a variety of high-resolution, multimode, three dimensional numerical simulations (NS). The perturbations are initialized with only short wavelength modes so that the self-similar evolution (i.e., bubble diameter Db∝amplitude hb) occurs solely by the nonlinear coupling (merger) of saturated modes. After an initial transient, it is found that hb∼αbAgt2, where A=Atwood number, g=acceleration, and t=time. The NS yield Db∼hb/3 in agreement with experiment but the simulation value αb∼0.025±0.003 is smaller than the experimental value αb∼0.057±0.008. By analyzing the dominant bubbles, it is found that the small value of αb can be attributed to a density dilution due to fine-scale mixing in our NS without interface reconstruction (IR) or an equivalent entrainment in our NS with IR. This may be characteristic of the mode coupling limit studied here and the associated αb may represent a lower bound that is insensitive to the initial amplitude. Larger values of αb can be obtained in the presence of additional long wavelength perturbations and this may be more characteristic of experiments. Here, the simulation data are also analyzed in terms of bubble dynamics, energy balance and the density fluctuation spectra. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Short-wavelength slow modes are required for efficient coupling of wave momentum to the plasma, requiring a kinetic hot-plasma theory. Here, a guiding-center formulation is developed which calculates the nonlinear particle and energy fluxes, energy absorption, and nonlinear forces on the plasma using a kinetic moment approach that is valid to first order in the ratio of the gyroradius compared to the wave envelope scale length and the plasma equilibrium scale length. Both the stress tensor and Lorentz force contribute to the net force on a fluid element. The forces driving flux-surface-averaged flows in a tokamak are extracted from the parallel and toroidal components. It is shown that flux-surface-averaged flows are driven by two classes of terms: direct absorption of wave momentum and dissipative stresses. Furthermore, the general kinetic expression for the this is shown to reduce to the standard cold-fluid ponderomotive force in an appropriate limit, hut in this limit no flows are driven.

It is shown that the high-frequency fishbone instability [energetic particle mode (EPM)] and the low-frequency (diamagnetic) fishbones are possible thr such an equilibrium, their poloidal and toroidal mode numbers being not necessarily equal to unity. A new kind of the EPM instability, "doublet fishbones," is predicted. This instability is characterized by two frequencies; it can occur in a plasma with a nonmonotonic radial profile of the energetic ions when the particle orbit width is less than the width of the region where the mode is localized. It is found that the diamagnetic fishbone branch exists even when the orbit width exceeds the mode width; in this case, however, the instability growth rate is relatively [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Physics of Plasmas is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Past models have mostly considered equatorial orbits, using the gyrocenter drill approximation. In this paper, the investigation is extended to include nonequatorial drills and full orbit integrations in regions where the drill approximation breaks down Typical acceleration mechanisms consist of betatron acceleration at large pitch angles and Fermi acceleration at small pitch angles, resulting from the dipolarization and shortening of field lines moving earthward from the neutral line. In comparison, acceleration at the near-Earth neutral line plays a negligible role in flux increases observed in the near tail. Energetic electron fluxes appear preferentially enhanced around 90° pitch angle, so that restriction to those pitch angles might lead to an overestimate of flux increases. Otherwise, the results explain the observed limitation of the range of flux enhancements between a few keV and a few hundred keV.

For this model, it is shown that real gain Gr (zero phase shift) is exactly equivalent to having a perfectly conducting wall between the actual resistive wall and the control surface. It is also shown that imaginary gain Gi (&pie;/2 phase shift) is exactly equivalent to the rotation of the resistive wall, which is in turn equivalent to plasma rotation. If there are two resistive walls separated by an insulator, Gi is equivalent to the rotation of the outer wall, and this effective differential rotation of the resistive walls can stabilize the modes for arbitrary plasma rotation. Complex gain Gr+ iGi is equivalent to a closer conducting wall with rotation of the resistive wall. These equivalences are exact in two-dimensional linear theory (single Fourier harmonic k), and are good approximations when there is a spectrum of k. It is also shown in this slab model that "mode control," used in DIII-D [J. L. Luxon and L. G. Davis, Fusion Technol. 8,441(1985)], is equivalent to higher Gr. Two-dimensional nonlinear simulations of control of RWM driven by current and pressure are presented. Investigations are shown of the validity of the feedback equivalences in nonlinear theory, showing that the equivalences hold to a good approximation even when a spectrum of k is present. It is found that the real gain required to give benign saturation of the nonlinear RWMs can he much less than that required for linear stabilization, particularly near the threshold for instability with a perfectly conducting wall.

The resulting increased Landau damping of the plasma wave and detuning of the resonance can act to stabilize the pump against unwanted amplification of Langmuir noise without disrupting nonlinear amplification of the femtosecond seed pulse. Because the heating rate increases with the charge state Z, only low-Z plasmas (hydrogen, helium, or helium-hydrogen mixtures) will maintain a low enough temperature for efficient operation.

B. Spielman et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 2105 (1998)] is determined by using electrical measurements and a lumped-circuit analysis. One finds that ΣkαkVk-LI =d(Llll)/dt, where ΣkαkVk is the weighted sum of the Z-insulator-stack voltages, L is the equivalent inductance of the magnetically insulated transmission lines connecting the stack to the load, I is the added current thr those lines, L1 is the load inductance, and I1 is the load current. L1 obtained from this expression is used to reconstruct the motion of the outer edge of wire-array Z-pinch loads, providing an estimate of the time at which the cores start moving significantly from their initial position. Results are consistent with previous optical measurements suggesting that core motion is delayed with respect to a zero-dimensional thin-shell model of the implosion. These results provide useful insights and constraints in experimental and theoretical research of wire arrays precursor and imploding plasma properties.

Modeling of the backward scattering agrees with the measurements when the Langmuir and ion acoustic fluctuations saturate at δn/n = 0.01 and 0.001, respectively. These low saturation levels cannot be explained using standard nonlinear wave decay saturation mechanisms and may indicate that other saturation mechanisms are active in this plasma. Modeling of the forward scattering agrees qualitatively with the measurements and provides an estimate of the density fluctuations in the plasma.

This model has a general class of similarity equations in ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for spherical expansion. There are two parameters c, d characterizing the similarity solutions, depending on boundary conditions and conservation relations. These solutions exhibit either tangential discontinuities or shocks at the boundary, depending on the values of the constants c and d. Some of the solutions have magnetic fluxes within the bubble increasing with time, hut with smaller or zero magnetic fields outside the bubble, requiring a shock and a dynamo in the shock region. The results of simulations of one class of solutions with a Lagrangian MHD code show good agreement. Some of the properties of fully toroidal solutions of the similarity equations are derived. This model has applications to a magnetic bubble from an accretion disk around an active galactic nucleus (AGN), appropriate to the phase in which the bubble has expanded to a size much greater than the disk field length scales hut much smaller than any exterior scales. At this stage the magnetic reconnection and flux conversion stage associated with setting up the expanding bubble is completed. The model may also apply to a plasmoid formed in the solar corona.

The present article explores the possibilities of constructing a unified transport model, based on the continuous-time random walk, in which all these phenomena are handled adequately. The resulting formalism appears to be sufficiently general to provide a sound starting point for the development of a full-blown plasma transport code, capable of incorporating the relevant microscopic transport mechanisms, and allowing predictions of confinement properties.

The influence of the magnetic field perturbations on the structure of the magnetic field in such systems is considered and it is found that the effect of perturbations is quite different from that in the systems with a substantial toroidal field. In particular, even infinitesimal perturbations can, in principle, lead to large radial excursions of the field lines in FRCs and levitated dipoles. Under such circumstances, particle drifts and particle collisions may give rise to significant neoclassical transport Introduction of a weak regular toroidal magnetic field reduces radial excursions of the field lines and neoclassical [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Physics of Plasmas is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Such closures address the fact that particles are capable of carrying information over macroscopic parallel scale lengths. In this work, generalized closures that embody Landau, collisional and particle-trapping physics are derived and discussed. A gyro/bounce-averaged drift kinetic equation is solved via an expansion in eigenfunctions of the pitch-angle scattering operator and the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved by integrating along characteristics. The desired closure moments take the form of integral equations involving perturbations in the flow and temperature along magnetic field lines. Implementation of the closures in massively parallel plasma fluid simulation codes is also discussed. This implementation includes the use of a semi-implicit time advance of the fluid equations to stabilize the dominant closure terms which are introduced explicitly. Application of the nonlocal, parallel heat flow closure, q , in studies of temperature flattening across helical magnetic islands in toroidal geometry reveal a scaling of temperature versus critical island width for flattening of T ∼w d1.5 This result predicts more robust flattening at small island widths when compared to the diffusive scaling, T ∼w d1.7, which assumes a Braginskii-type parallel heat conductivity. Preliminary application of q to tokamak disruption simulations shows qualitative agreement of wall heat loads with experimental observations, smooth distribution in toroidal angle, and striation in the poloidal direction along the wall.

M. Peng et al., Nucl. Fusion 26, 769 (1986)] is of critical importance to assessing the viability of the wave as a means of heating and driving current. Analysis of recent National Spherical Torus Experiment [M. Ono et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)] shots has revealed that under some conditions when neutral beam and rf power are injected into the plasma simultaneously, a fast ion population with energy above the beam injection energy is sustained by the wave. In agreement with modeling, these experiments find the rf-induced fast ion tail strength and neutron rate at lower B-fields to be less enhanced, likely due to a larger β profile, which promotes greater off-axis absorption where the fast ion population is small. Ion loss codes find the increased loss fraction with decreased B insufficient to account for the changes in tail strength, providing further evidence that this is a rf interaction effect. Though greater ion absorption is predicted with lower k, surprisingly little variation in the tail was observed, along with a neutron rate enhancement with higher k. Data from the neutral particle analyzer, neutron detectors, x-ray crystal spectrometer, and Thomson scattering are presented, along with results from the TRANSP [R. J.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2453 EP - 2458 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Second ballooning stability is examined in quasipoloidally symmetric, compact stellarator configurations. These high-β(volume-average β>4%) free-boundary equilibria are calculated using a reference Quasi-Poloidal Stellarator (QPS) configuration. QPS plasmas have low-shear, stellarator-like rotational transform profile with |B| that is approximately poloidally symmetric. The high-β QPS equilibria are similar in their magnetic configuration to previously studied tokamak-stellarator hybrids which have a high-shear, tokamak-like rotational transform profile. Both types of configurations have strong magnetic wells and consequently high interchange stability β limits. Free-boundary QPS equilibria have regions of second stability at high β. For infinite-n ballooning modes in QPS plasmas, the boundary for first instability is 〈b〉∼2% and the boundary for second stability is 〈bβ∼6%. Finite-n ballooning mode calculations show higher β limits, 〈b〉>5%. Increasing plasma current (for fixed plasma pressure) can lower the finite-n ballooning mode β-limit to 〈b〉=3% by reducing magnetic shear. QPS plasmas with Ohmic current profiles (peaked on-axis) have both a lower infinite-n ballooning β-limit for the onset of first instability and a higher β-limit for the onset of second stability relative to QPS plasma with bootstrap current profiles (peaked off-axis). QPS plasmas are stable to low-n ideal magnetohydrodynamic kink modes and vertical modes for values of β in this range (〈β〉∼6%) due to the low level of plasma current in QPS relative to an equivalent tokamak.

Correct modeling of the MC layer requires resolving wavelengths on the order of k . ρi∼1 which leads to a scaling of the maximum poloidal mode number, Mmax, proportional to 1/ρ* (&rho*≡ 7ρi/L). The computational resources needed scale with the number of radial (Nr), poloidal (Nθ), and toroidal (N φ) elements as Nr*Nφ*Nθ³. Two full wave codes, a massively-parallel-processor (MPP) version of the TORIC-2D finite Larmor radius code [M. Brambilla, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 41, 1 (1999)] and also an all orders spectral code AORSA2D [E. F. Jaeger et al., Phys. Plasmas 9, 1873 (2002)], have been developed which for the first time are capable of achieving the resolution and speed necessary to address mode conversion phenomena in full two-dimensional (2-D) toroidal geometry. These codes have been used in conjunction with theory and experimental data from the Alcator C-Mod [I. H. Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)] to gain new understanding into the nature of FWMC in tokamaks. The massively-parallel-processor version of TORIC is also now capable of running with sufficient resolution to model planned lower hybrid range of frequencies experiments in the Alcator C-Mod.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2480 EP - 2487 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Recent studies of internal transport and double transport barrier regimes in the Alcator C-Mod [I. H. Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)] have explored the limits for forming, maintaining, and controlling these plasmas. The C-Mod provides a unique platform for studying such discharges: the ions and electrons are tightly coupled by collisions and the plasma has no internal particle or momentum sources. The double-barrier mode comprised of an edge barrier with an internal transport barrier (ITB) can be induced at will using off-axis ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) injection on either the low or high field side of the plasma with either of the available ICRF frequencies (70 or 80 MHz). When an enhanced Dα high confinement mode (EDA H-mode) is accessed in Ohmic plasmas, the double barrier ITB forms spontaneously if the H-mode is sustained for ∼2 energy confinement times. The ITBs formed in both Ohmic and ICRF heated plasmas are quite similar regardless of the trigger method. They are characterized by strong central peaking of the electron density, and a reduction of the core particle and energy transport. The control of impurity influx and heating of the core plasma in the presence of the ITB have been achieved with the addition of central ICRF power in both the Ohmic H-mode and ICRF induced ITBs. The radial location of the particle transport barrier is dependent on the toroidal magnetic field but not on the location of the ICRF resonance. A narrow region of decreased electron thermal transport, as determined by sawtooth heat pulse analysis, is found in these plasmas as well.

Plasmas 7, 3129 (2000)], nonlinear equations for drift wave-zonal flow interplay are systematically derived from first principles for nonuniform toroidal plasmas. The paradigm model, presented here, is based on a hierarchy in nonlinear wave-wave couplings, which assumes that different drift wave interactions on the shortest nonlinear time scale are mediated by zonal flows. The resulting coherent model demonstrates turbulence spreading to be the cause of transport scaling with system size. The nonlinear saturated state can be either coherent, with limit cycles, or chaotic, depending on the proximity to marginal stability.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2497 EP - 2504 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Steady-state operation of the advanced tokamak reactor relies on maintaining plasma stability with respect to the resistive wall mode (RWM). Active magnetic feedback and plasma rotation are the two methods proposed and demonstrated for this purpose. A comprehensive modeling effort including both magnetic feedback and plasma rotation is needed for understanding the physical mechanisms of the stabilization and to project to future devices. For plasma with low rotation, a complete solution for the feedback issue is obtained by assuming the plasma obeys ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHDs) and utilizing a normal mode approach (NMA) [M. S. Chu et al., Nucl. Fusion 43, 441 (2003)]. It is found that poloidal sensors are more effective than radial sensors and coils inside of the vacuum vessel more effective than outside. For plasmas with non-negligible rotation, a comprehensive linear nonideal MHD code, the MARS-F has been found to be suitable. MARS-F [Y. Q. Liu et al., Phys. Plasmas 7, 3681 (2000)] has been benchmarked in the ideal MHD limit against the NMA. The effect of rotation stabilization of the plasma depends on the plasma dissipation model. Broad qualitative features of the experiment are reproduced. Rotation reduces the feedback gain required for RWM stabilization. Reduction is significant when rotation is near the critical rotation speed needed for stabilization. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) [R. Aymar et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 44, 519 (2002)] (scenario IV for advanced tokamak operation) may be feedback stabilized with β; above the no wall limit and up to an increment of ∼50% towards the ideal limit. Rotation further improves the stability.

L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] vacuum vessel, offering faster time response and a wider range of applied mode spectra than the previous external coils. Stabilization of the n=1 ideal kink mode is crucial to many high beta, steady-state tokamak scenarios. A resistive wall converts the kink to a slowly growing resistive wall mode (RWM). With feedback-controlled error field correction, rotational stabilization of the RWM has been sustained for more than 2.5 s. Using the internal coils, the required correction field is smaller than with the external coils, consistent with a better match to the mode spectrum of the error field. Initial experiments in direct feedback control have stabilized the RWMs at higher beta and lower rotation than could be achieved by the external coils in similar plasmas, in qualitative agreement with numerical modeling. The new coils have also allowed wall stabilization in plasmas with toroidal beta up to 6%, almost 50% greater than the no wall limit.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2514 EP - 2522 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Determining the scaling of transport with beta (β), the ratio of the plasma kinetic pressure to the magnetic pressure, helps to differentiate between various proposed theories of turbulent transport since mechanisms that are primarily electrostatic show little change in transport with increasing β, while primarily electromagnetic mechanisms generally have a strong unfavorable β scaling. Experiments on the DIII-D tokamak [J.L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] have measured the β scaling of heat transport with all of the other dimensionless parameters held constant in high confinement mode (H-mode) plasmas with edge localized modes. A four point scan varied β from 30% to 85% of the ideal ballooning stability limit (normalized beta from 1.0 to 2.8) and found no change in the normalized confinement time, i.e., B τth∞ β0.01-0.09. The measured thermal diffusivities, normalized to the Bohm diffusion coefficient, also did not vary during the bscan to within the experimental uncertainties, whereas the normalized helium particle transport decreased with increasing β. The H-mode pedestal β varied in concert with the core band showed no signs of saturation. This weak, possibly nonexistent, β scaling of transport favors primarily electrostatic mechanisms such as E×B transport, and is in marked disagreement with the strong unfavorable β dependence contained in empirical scaling relations derived from multimachine H-mode confinement databases.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2580 EP - 2585 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a potentially low cost path to fusion, intermediate in plasma regime between magnetic and inertial fusion energy. It requires compression of a magnetized target plasma and consequent heating to fusion relevant conditions inside a converging flux conserver. To demonstrate the physics basis for MTF, a field reversed configuration (FRC) target plasma has been chosen that will ultimately be compressed within an imploding metal liner. The required FRC will need large density, and this regime is being explored by the FRX-L (FRC-Liner) experiment. All theta pinch formed FRCs have some shock heating during formation, but FRX-L depends further on large ohmic heating from magnetic flux annihilation to heat the high density (2-5 ×1022m³), plasma to a temperature of Te+Ti≈500 eV. At the field null, anomalous resistivity is typically invoked to characterize the resistive like flux dissipation process. The first resistivity estimate for a high density collisional FRC is shown here. The flux dissipation process is both a key issue for MTF and an important underlying physics question.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2586 EP - 2593 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Recent progress in the analysis of the low and high frequency beam ion driven instabilities in the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX) [S. Kaye et al., Fusion Technol. 36, 16 (1999)] plasma is reported. The low Alfvén speed with respect to the beam ion injection velocity in NSTX offers a window in the plasma parameter space to study instabilities driven by super-Alfvénic fusion alphas, which are expected in the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor-ITER [D. J. Campbell, Phys. Plasmas 8, 2041 (2001)]. Low frequency magnetic field activities identified as an instability of toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs) have been observed in NSTX and analyzed with the linear hybrid kinetic magnetohydrodynamic stability code NOVA-K [C. Z. Cheng, Phys. Rep. 1, 211 (1992)]. The comparison between the TAE analysis and observations in NSTX and DIII-D [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] similarity experiments confirms that the toroidal mode number of the most unstable TAE modes scales with q² and is independent of plasma major radius, where q is the safety factor. This scaling helps validate the predictive capability of the NOVA-K code for studying TAE stability in future burning plasma devices. The subion cyclotron frequency magnetic activities in NSTX are identified as compressional and global shear Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) (CAEs and GAEs). CAE and GAE instabilities are driven by beam ions via the Doppler shifted cyclotron resonance by the velocity space bump-on-tail distribution function in the perpendicular velocity. Results of the GAE/CAE theoretical and numerical analysis are presented.

Chen and S. E. Parker, J. Comput. Phys. 198, 463 (2003)]. The simulation is three-dimensional using toroidal flux-tube geometry and includes electron-ion collisions. The model shows accurate shear Alfvén wave damping and microtearing physics. Zonal flows with kinetic electrons are found to be turbulent with the spectrum peaking at zero and having a width in the frequency range of the driving turbulence. This is in contrast with adiabatic electron cases where the zonal flows are near stationary, even though the linear behavior of the zonal flow is not significantly affected by kinetic electrons. Zonal fields are found to be very weak, consistent with theoretical predictions for β below the kinetic ballooning limit. Detailed spectral analysis of the turbulence data is presented in the various limits.

H. Burrell for the DIII-D Team, in Proceedings of the 19th Fusion Energy Conference, Lyon, France, 2002 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 2002) published on CD-ROM] seeks to provide a scientific basis for steady-state high performance operation in future devices. These regimes require high toroidal beta to maximize fusion output and poloidal beta to maximize the self-driven bootstrap current. Achieving these conditions requires integrated, simultaneous control of the current and pressure profiles, and active magnetohydrodynamic stability control. The building blocks for AT operation are in hand. Resistive wall mode stabilization via plasma rotation and active feedback with nonaxisymmetric coils allows routine operation above the no-wall beta limit. Neoclassical tearing modes are stabilized by active feedback control of localized electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD). Plasma shaping and profile control provide further improvements. Under these conditions, bootstrap supplies most of the current. Steady-state operation requires replacing the remaining Ohmic current, mostly located near the half radius, with noninductive external sources. In DIII-D this current is provided by ECCD, and nearly stationary AT discharges have been sustained with little remaining Ohmic current. Fast wave current drive is being developed to control the central magnetic shear. Density control, with divertor cryopumps, of AT discharges with edge localized moding H-mode edges facilitates high current drive efficiency at reactor relevant collisionalities. A sophisticated plasma control system allows integrated control of these elements. Close coupling between modeling and experiment is key to understanding the separate elements, their complex nonlinear interactions, and their integration into self-consistent high performance scenarios.

In the open flux region of &Bar;0 , electrostatic biasing provides an effective loop voltage that overcomes the resistive decay and supports the dynamo loop voltage in the closed flux region via the primary nonaxisymmetric open field line kinks. The current gradient in the closed flux region of &Bar;0 drives secondary nonaxisymmetric closed flux magnetohydrodynamical modes that facilitate further current relaxation toward the magnetic axis. The decreasing parallel current gradient and high-q magnetic surfaces as one approaches the magnetic axis implies that the eventual current relaxation consistent with magnetic confinement must benefit from a cascade of weaker and comparatively short wavelength modes localized to the high-q resonant home flux surfaces.

The ability of measuring shock-induced temperatures of the order of 0.1 eV is essentially unique to EXAFS. EXAFS measurement of vanadium shocked to ∼0.5 Mbar with a 3 ns laser pulse yields a compression and temperature in good agreement with hydrodynamic simulations and with shock-speed measurements. In laser-shocked titanium at the same pressure, the EXAFS modulation damping is much higher than warranted by the increase in temperature. This is explained by the α-Ti to ω-Ti phase transformation known to occur around ∼0.1 Mbar in the longer ( ms) shocks obtained in gas-gun experiments. In the ω-Ti phase, the disparate neighbor distances cause a beating of the modulation frequencies and thus an increased damping. These results demonstrate that EXAFS measurements can be used for the study of nanosecond-scale shocks and phase transformation in metals.

J. Norman et al., Appl. Opt. 41, 3497 (2002)] at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), U.K., using 2ω light have uncovered a strong dependence of laser backscatter and hot electron production on plasma composition. Using low-Z materials, we find a behavior familiar from previous 3ω work, the interchange of stimulated Raman scattering for Brillouin scattering as we change from gases that have high ion wave damping (e.g., C5H12) to gases with low ion wave damping (e.g., CO2). However, as Z is increased, we find that Brillouin scattering drops while Raman scattering remains low. For gases with Z greater than 18, it is possible to have long scalelength, underdense plasmas with both low Brillouin and Raman backscatter losses. Complementary measurements of hot electron production show efficient production of hot electrons in C5H12 plasmas approaching 0.25ncr, but changing the plasma composition can greatly suppress the hot electron production, even near 0.25ncr. Additional experiments indicate that by adding small amounts of high Z dopant, significant changes to the backscatter and hot electron production in cr targets may be produced.

Most observations are consistent with a mix model using the same values of its single free parameter as with indirectly driven single shell and double shell capsules. Greater mixing at lower gas pressure fills reduces capsule yield. Time dependent mixing growth causes truncation of the burn history. This emphasizes early yield from the center of the capsule, raising the observed burn temperature. Mixed fuel areal densities are lower because fuel moves through the shell and the observation weights earlier times when areal density is lower. Shell x-ray emission mixing into the fuel fills in the limb brightened image to produce a central peak. Implosions of ³He filled capsules with a layer of deuterated plastic show substantial atomic mix.

C. Robinson and C. J. Garasi, ''Three-dimensional Z-pinch wire array modeling,'' Computer Physics Communications, submitted] have been utilized to simulate discrete wire effects including precursor formation in 2D (r-θ plane) and nonuniform axial ablation (3D). Comparisons made between 2D and 3D simulations indicate that 2D simulations overestimate the mass ablation rate by a factor of 10-100 with respect to the 3D case, causing pre-mature motion of the array with respect to experimental data. Additionally, the 2D case advects a factor of 5 more current to axis than the 3D case. The integrity of the simulations is assessed by comparing the results to laser imaging of wire ablation and array trajectory information inferred from visible and x-ray imaging. Comparisons to previously proposed ablation models are also presented. These simulations represent the first high-fidelity three-dimensional calculations of wire-array pinch geometries.

A. Paisner, E. M. Campbell, and W. J. Hogan, Fusion Technol. 26, 755 (1994)], operating at green (2ω) light, has the potential to drive ignition targets with significantly more energy than the 1.8 MJ it will produce with its baseline, blue (3ω) operations. This results in a greatly increased ''target design space,'' providing a number of exciting opportunities for fusion research. These include the prospect of ignition experiments with capsules absorbing energies in the vicinity of 1 MJ. This significant increase in capsule absorbed energy over the original designs at ∼150 kJ could allow high-gain, high yield experiments on NIF. This paper reports the progress made exploring 2ω for NIF ignition, including potential 2ω laser performance, 2ω ignition target designs, and 2ω laser plasma interaction studies.

Implosion asymmetry is a simple measurable quantity that is expected to affect the mix. In order to measure the coupling of asymmetry to mix in ICF implosions, we have performed experiments on the OMEGA laser [T. R. Boehly et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 66, 508 (1995)] that vary the energy of each of the sixty beams individually to achieve a given fraction of L2, the second-order Legendre polynomial. Prolate, symmetric, and oblate implosions resulted. Three different fill pressures were used. Simultaneous x-ray and neutron images were obtained. The experiments were modeled with a radiation/hydrodynamics code using the multi-fluid interpenetration mix model of Scannapieco and Cheng. It fits the data well with a single value of its one adjustable parameter (0.07±0.01). This agreement is demonstrated by neutron yield, x-ray images, neutron images, and ion temperatures. The degree of decline of the neutron yield with asymmetry at different fill pressures provides a hard constraint on ICF mix modeling.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2778 EP - 2789 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - The velocities and temperatures of shock waves generated by laser-driven hohlraum radiation fields have been measured in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule ablator materials. Time-resolved measurements of the preheat temperature ahead of the shock front have been performed and included in the analysis. Measurements of the x-ray burnthrough of the ablation front and the ablator x-ray re-emission have also been made in the Cu-doped beryllium, polyimide, and Ge-doped CH ablator samples. The experiments utilize 15 beams of the University of Rochester Omega Laser [Soures et al., Phys. Plasmas 3, 2108 (1996)] to heat hohlraums to radiation temperatures of ∼120-200 eV. In the experiments, planar samples of ablator material are exposed to the hohlraum radiation field, generating shocks in the range of 10-50 Mbars. The experimental results are compared to integrated two-dimensional Lasnex [G. B. Zimmerman and W. L. Kruer, Comments Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 2, 51 (1975)] calculations, in which the measured laser pulse is used as input and the time-dependent ultraviolet shock breakout and soft x-ray ablator burnthrough are calculated quantities. It is found that proper calculation of the time-dependent hohlraum x-ray flux, including spectral content, and the ablator opacity will be essential for obtaining the level of predictive capabilities required for the thermonuclear ignition of an ICF capsule at the U.S. National Ignition Facility [E. I. Moses, Fusion Technol. 44, 11 (2003)].

The experiments used ∼5 kJ of laser energy to produce a blast wave in polyimide and/or brominated plastic having an initial pressure of ∼50 Mbars. This blast wave shocked and then decelerated the perturbed interface between the first material and lower-density C foam. This caused the formation of a decelerating interface with an Atwood number ∼2/3, producing a long-term positive growth rate for the RT instability. The initial perturbations were a 3D perturbation in an ''egg-crate'' pattern with feature spacings of 71 μm in two orthogonal directions and peak-to-valley amplitudes of 5 μm. The resulting RT spikes appear to overtake the shock waves, moving at a large fraction of the predeceleration, ''free-fall'' velocity. This result was unanticipated by prior simulations and models.

This milestone offers a new opportunity to develop laser-driven, compact, tunable x-ray sources for critical applications such as diagnostics for the National Ignition Facility and time-resolved material studies. The electron beam was focused to 50 μm rms, at 57 MeV, with 260 pC of charge, a relative energy spread of 0.2%, and a normalized emittance of 5 mm mrad horizontally and 13 mm mrad vertically. The scattered 820 nm laser pulse had an energy of 180 mJ and a duration of 54 fs. Initial x rays were captured with a cooled charge-coupled device using a cesium iodide scintillator; the peak photon energy was approximately 78 keV, with a total x-ray flux of 1.3×106 photons/shot, and the observed angular distribution found to agree very well with three-dimensional codes. Simple K-edge radiography of a tantalum foil showed good agreement with the theoretical divergence-angle dependence of the x-ray energy. Optimization of the x-ray dose is currently under way, with the goal of reaching 108 photons/shot and a peak brightness approaching 1020 photons/mm2/mrad2/s/0.1% bandwidth.

Neutralization is provided by a localized plasma injected from a cathode arc source. Unwanted secondary electrons produced at the wall by halo particle impact are suppressed using a radial mesh liner that is positively biased inside a beam drift tube.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2899 EP - 2906 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Coherent terahertz and millimeter wave radiation from laser accelerated electron bunches has been measured. The bunches were produced by tightly focusing (spot diameter ≈6 mm) a high peak power (up to 10 TW), ultra-short (⩾50 fs) laser pulse from a high repetition rate (10 Hz) laser system (0.8 μm), onto a high density (>1019 cm³) pulsed gas jet of length ≈1.5 mm. As the electrons exit the plasma, coherent transition radiation is generated at the plasma-vacuum boundary for wavelengths long compared to the bunch length. Radiation in the 0.3-19 THz range and at 94 GHz has been measured and found to depend quadratically on the bunch charge. The measured radiated energy for two different collection angles is in good agreement with theory. Modeling indicates that optimization of this table-top source could provide more than 100 μJ/pulse. Together with intrinsic synchronization to the laser pulse, this will enable numerous applications requiring intense terahertz radiation. This radiation can also be used as a powerful tool for measuring the properties of laser accelerated bunches at the exit of the plasma accelerator. Preliminary spectral measurements indicates that bunches as short as 30-50 fs have been produced in these laser driven accelerators.

When these disparities are in distinctive zones of the simulation domain, a method which has proven to be effective in other areas (e.g., fluid dynamics simulations) is the mesh refinement technique. A brief discussion of the challenges posed by coupling this technique with plasma particle-in-cell simulations is given, followed by a presentation of examples of application in heavy ion fusion and related fields which illustrate the effectiveness of the approach. Finally, a report is given on the status of a collaboration under way at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory between the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group (ANAG) and the Heavy Ion Fusion group to upgrade ANAG's mesh refinement library Chombo to include the tools needed by particle-in-cell simulation codes.

External electrodes, arc discharges, plasma jets, and corona discharges have been employed to allow combustible gas mixtures to operate outside their flammability limits or to increase combustion speed. Previously reported experiments have involved silent electrical discharges applied to propagating flames. These demonstrated that the flame propagation velocity can be increased when the discharge is applied to the unburned gas mixture upstream of a flame. In contrast, the work reported here used a coaxial-cylinder, nonthermal, silent discharge plasma reactor to activate a propane gas stream before it was mixed with air and ignited. With the plasma, the physical appearance of the flame changes (increased stability) and substantial changes in mass spectrometer peaks are observed, indicating that the combustion process is enhanced with the application of the plasma.

In this paper, observations of a gas discharge mode of operation of the ferroelectric plasma sources (FPS) are reported. The gas discharge appears at pressures between ∼20 and ∼80 Torr. At pressures of 1-20 Torr, there is a transition from vacuum surface discharge to the gas discharge, when both modes coexist and the surface discharges sustain the gas discharge. At pressures between 20 and 80 Torr, the surface discharges are suppressed, and FPS operates in pure gas discharge mode, with the formation of almost uniform plasma along the entire surface of the ceramics between strips. The density of the expanding plasma is estimated to be about 1013 cm³ at a distance of 5.5 mm from the surface. The power consumption of the discharge is comparatively low, making it useful for various applications. This paper also presents direct measurements of the yield of secondary electron emission from ferroelectric ceramics, which, at low energies of primary electrons, is high and dependent on the polarization of the ferroelectric material.

Many laboratory experiments span a large portion of this parameter space as they evolve from a liquid or solid phase through the strongly coupled plasma phase to a hot plasma phase. This tutorial will introduce the basic physics of the intermediate, strongly coupled plasma phase from a very general point of view, including a discussion of experiments, such as laser-cooled ions, dusty plasmas, and white dwarfs. Basic definitions and results will be given for simple strongly coupled plasmas in the context of concepts familiar from weakly coupled plasma physics, to the extent possible. Definitions relevant to high energy-density physics are then introduced before focusing on dense plasmas, which form the overlap between the strongly coupled and high energy-density regions.

The phase behavior is determined from the CPH-SA segmental interaction parameter, χ, obtained from in situ small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments. The predicted phase diagram has an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) with a critical point of 114 °C. The phase diagram is validated by optical microscopy (cloud point determination) of blend films. However, the full range of blend compositions is not accessible via cloud point measurements, because the melting point of poly(CPH) is above the critical point. Additionally, the poly(CPH) crystallinity interferes with cloud point determination because the length scale of the amorphous phase separation and that of the crystallinity are both near the limit of resolution of the optical microscope. The poly(CPH)-rich region of the phase diagram was investigated by ex situ atomic force microscopy on thin blend films. Finally, in order to validate the use of molecular simulations to study energetic and structural properties of this system, χ is also computed from molecular dynamics both above and below the critical point. Excellent agreement is obtained for all three experimental methods and the computational technique. The results are compared to a simple group contribution method for computing the solubility parameters of the polymers. This technique fails to accurately predict the phase diagram.

Simultaneous, real-time wide and small angle X-ray scattering (WAXS, SAXS), differential scanning calorimetry, and optical ellipsometry were used to study initially isotropic, amorphous films of HIQ-40. Films were annealed above the glass transition temperature, Tg, at temperatures, Ta, from 130 to 290 °C. Depending upon Ta, thermal treatment results in formation of regions of nematic order and/or crystalline order in a disordered matrix. As Ta increases, molecular mobility in the amorphous phase increases resulting in a reduction in Tg. Two or three endothermic events are seen in all samples by thermal analysis. The lowest temperature endotherm is associated with melting of crystals formed either at Ta or during the thermal scan. The two higher temperature endotherm features result from transformation of crystal melt-to-nematic, and formation of more mobile nematic domains from constrained liquid, respectively, and are relatively insensitive to Ta.A strong Bragg scattering peak is seen for Ta<290 °C corresponding to formation of two-phase structure comprising crystals and disordered phase. At higher temperatures, very strong scattered intensity in the SAXS pattern re-emerges, even after all WAXS crystal reflections have disappeared. Results suggest that a two-phase structure, of ordered nematic domains co-existing with less ordered regions, may be forming continuously above the crystal melting point.

Etched film surfaces and ultramicrotomed plaques were imaged so as to enhance contrast and minimize catalyst and co-catalyst residues. While increasing concentration of structural irregularities breaks down spherulitic habits, the formation of the gamma polymorph has a profound effect on the lamellar morphology. Lamellae grown in the radial axis of the spherulite and branches hereon are replaced in γ-rich copolymers with a dense array of short lamellae transverse or tilted to the main structural growth axis. This is the expected orientation for γ iPP branching from α seeds. Spherulites are formed in copolymers with non-crystallizable units (1-hexene and 1-octene) up to ∼3 mol% total defect content and were observed up to ∼6 mol% in those with partially crystallizable comonomers (ethylene and 1-butene). However, lamellae were observed in all the copolymers analyzed, even in the most defective ones, highlighting the important role of the gamma polymorph in propagating lamellar crystallites in poly(propylenes) with a high concentration of defects. Long periods measured from AFM and SAXS are comparatively analyzed.

The mass loss model is based on a simple two-step mechanism using distributed reaction rates. The mass loss model was implemented into a multidimensional finite element heat conduction code that supports chemical kinetics and dynamic enclosure radiation. A discretization bias correction model was parameterized using elements with characteristic lengths ranging from 0.1 cm to 1 cm. Bias corrected solutions with these large elements gave essentially the same results as grid-independent solutions using 0.01-cm elements. Predictions were compared to measured decomposition front locations determined from real-time X-rays of 9-cm diameter, 15-cm tall cylinders of foam that were heated with lamps. The calculated and measured locations of the decomposition fronts were well within 1 cm of each other and in some cases the fronts coincided.

This is not a comprehensive review of the literature; rather, certain issues that are often neglected in studies are highlighted showing their importance or impact on the reported observations and targeted outcomes. Feasible routes using flow instability as an efficiency enhancement tool are discussed as an emerging means to explain the physical phenomena of active flow-control and as a tool for control law design and development. Traditional and more recent theoretical approaches to control design are discussed and recommendations are made relevant to numerical complications on the route to design oscillatory flow-control systems. A generic flow control process is put forward and illustrated using experimental examples.

The similarity of electronic structures of both the solvent and solute is paramount, and if these are favorable then the size difference between the solvent and solute is the determining factor. The crystal structures of the elements are used as the surrogate of the electronic structure. Thus this model is quite simple to use since one only needs to know the crystal structures and the atomic sizes of the two elements involved. The ECS2 model is significantly better than the simple 15% Hume-Rothery size rule or the Darken-Gurry model for predicting solid solution formation (the overall reliabilities are 84.5, 70.7 and 72.4%, respectively).

However, it is its electronic structure and the resulting physical and chemical properties that make plutonium the most complex element in the periodic table. It exhibits six solid allotropes at ambient pressure and is notoriously unstable with temperature, pressure, chemical additions, and time. It undergoes virtually every type of phase transformation known. The addition of a few atomic percent gallium helps retain the face-centered cubic δ-phase to room temperature, avoiding transformation to a monoclinic phase with a huge volume contraction. We present previously unpublished experimental studies on phase stability and phase transformations in Pu–Ga alloys and compare these to available literature. However, we first review the physics of plutonium and the fcc δ-phase to help us understand why plutonium defies conventional metallurgical wisdom. Plutonium sits near the middle of the actinide series, which marks the emergence of 5f electrons in the valence shell. Right at plutonium the 5f electrons are caught in an abrupt transition between being bonding and being localized (chemically inert). In fact, in the δ-phase they appear to be in a unique state of being neither fully bonding nor localized, which leads to novel electronic interactions and physical behavior. We compare these interactions to two other unstable elements in the periodic table, namely iron and cerium, to get a better appreciation of peculiarities of plutonium.

JO - Radiation Effects & Defects in Solids JF - Radiation Effects & Defects in Solids Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 159 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 281 EP - 292 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd AB - Alpha radiolysis studies have been performed on uranium oxides and oxyfluorides (UO 3 , U 3 O 8 , and UO 2 F 2 ) to evaluate the long-term storage characteristics of 233 U. These uranium compounds (using 238 U as the surrogate for 233 U) were subjected to relatively high alpha radiation doses (235-634 MGy) by doping with 244 Cm. The typical irradiation time for these samples was about 1.5 years, which would be equivalent to more than 50 years irradiation by a 233 U sample. Both dry and wet (up to 10 wt% water) samples were examined in an effort to identify the gas pressure and composition changes that occurred as a result of radiolysis. This study shows that several competing reactions occur during radiolysis with the net effect of generating only very low pressures of hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide from water, nitrate, and carbon impurities, respectively. In the absence of nitrate impurities, no pressures greater than 1000 Torr are generated. Usually, however, the oxygen in the air atmosphere over the oxides is consumed with the corresponding oxidation of the uranium oxide. In the presence of up to 10 wt% water, the oxides first show a small pressure rise followed by a net decrease due to the oxygen consumption and the attainment of a steady-state pressure at which the rate of generation of gaseous components is balanced by their recombination and/or consumption in the oxide phase.

The cell is designed for the study of electrodes that are used in rechargeable lithium batteries. It is designed for assembly in a glove box so that air-sensitive materials, such as lithium foil electrodes and carbonate-based electrolytes with lithium salts, can be used. The cell uses a beryllium window for x-ray transmission and electrical contact. A simple mechanism for compressing the electrodes is included in the design. Sample results for the cell are shown with a Cu Kα source and a position-sensitive detector. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In order to perform measurements in the near-anode region, the high potential of the anode relative to ground, small spatial variations of plasma properties, and the complicated thruster geometry are just some of the features that must be taken into consideration. A diagnostic apparatus for measurements in the near-anode region of Hall thrusters, comprising biased and emissive electrostatic probes, a high-precision positioning system, and low-noise electronic circuitry, was developed and tested. Test data for this apparatus indicate that radially inserted probes negligibly perturb the discharge. Accurate near-anode measurements of the plasma density, electron temperature, and plasma potential performed with this diagnostic have allowed the first experimental identification of the electron-repelling anode sheath predicted theoretically in Hall thrusters. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The method is used to investigate stress waves in plexiglass, created by the irradiation of multilayered metal–plexiglass targets with intense relativistic heavy-ion beams. Measured laser deflection angles are of the order of 1 mrad, with a resolution of the apparatus of 50 μrad. Results are in excellent agreement with interferometric measurements. The deflection technique is superior to an imaging interferometer in terms of simplicity and sensitivity. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Initial plasma-CRDS efforts employed an inductively coupled plasma as the atomization source and a pulsed laser system as the light source. In an effort to improve the portability and reduce the cost of the system for application purposes, we have modified our approach to include a compact microwave induced plasma and a continuous wave diode laser. A technique for controlling the coupling of the continuous wave laser to the ringdown cavity has been implemented using a standard power combiner. No acouto-optic modulator or cavity modulation is required. To test the system performance, diluted standard solutions of strontium (Sr) were introduced into the plasma by an in-house fabricated sampling device combined with an ultrasonic nebulizer. SrOH radicals were generated in the plasma and detected using both a pulsed laser system and a diode laser via a narrow band transition near 680 nm. The experimental results obtained using both light sources are compared and used for system characterization. The ringdown baseline noise and the detection limit for Sr are determined for the current experimental configuration. The results indicate that a plasma-CRDS instrument constructed using diode lasers and a compact microwave induced plasma can serve as a small, portable, and sensitive analytical tool. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It is now installed in the IPHI site building, at the CEA/Saclay center. IPHI is a front end demonstrator of high power accelerator. The source regularly delivers more than 130 mA protons in cw mode and already produced more than 170 mA deuterons in pulsed mode at nominal energy. The last beam characterizations, including emittance measurements, space charge compensation analysis, and diagnostic improvements, will be reported. Taking into account the SILHI experience, new developments are in progress to build and test a 5 mA deuteron source working in cw mode. This new source will also operate at 2.45 GHz and permanent magnets will provide the magnetic configuration. This source, of which the design will be discussed, will have to fit in with the SPIRAL 2 accelerator developed at GANIL to produce radioactive ion beams. The H- test stand status is briefly presented here and detailed in companion papers. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The exact mix of heavy-ion driver beams that will be needed by RIA will depend on the actual experimental programs undertaken, but will surely encompass a wide range of isotopes. We will explore a possible facility operations model and identify the driver beams required. One aspect of that model will be to optimally “illuminate” the r-process path nuclei. Present published ECR ion source performance for the identified mix of beams and assumed charge states will be compared to the requirements of the RIA facility needed to achieve the beam power goals of the facility. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The curvature of the emission boundary acts to converge/diverge the low velocity beam during extraction. Beams of highest quality are extracted whenever the half-angular divergence, ω, is minimized. Under minimum half-angular divergence conditions, the plasma emission boundary has an optimum curvature and the perveance, P, current density, j+ext, and extraction gap, d, have optimum values for a given charge state, q. Optimum values for each of the independent variables (P, j+ext and d) are found to be in close agreement with those derived from elementary analytical theory for extraction with a simple two-electrode extraction system, independent of the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field only increases the emittances of beams through additional aberrational effects caused by increased angular divergences through coupling of the longitudinal to the transverse velocity components of particles as they pass though the mirror region of the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. This article reviews the underlying theory of elementary extraction optics and presents results derived from simulation studies of extraction of space-charge dominated heavy-ion beams of varying mass, charge state, and intensity from an ECR ion source with emphasis on magnetic field induced effects. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The source is designed so that it can be easily converted from a flat-B configuration to the traditional minimum-B configuration and vice versa, so that comparisons can be made of the performances of the source in the “volume” ECR and “surface” ECR modes of operation under the same conditions. Descriptions of the source, the experimental equipment, and the procedures for evaluation are given, and comparisons of the performances of both volume and surface modes of operation are presented with and without gas mixing. The present studies clearly show that the volume ECR configuration is superior to the surface configuration in terms of charge-state distribution and intensity within a particular charge state, under the same operating conditions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

With the presently accepted set of magnetic scaling rules serving as a guide, several aspects of the magnetic structure of the Argonne National Laboratory 14 GHz ECRIS (ECR2) have been upgraded. The injection region iron has been modified raising the peak injection side field from 1.7 to 2.0 T. In conjunction with the iron upgrade, the previously damaged hexapole has been replaced with a new permanent magnet hexapole constructed of higher-grade material. This has raised the wall field from 0.80 to 0.95 T. Thus, 250 e μA of Kr14+ and 7.0 e μA of Kr25+ have been measured. Results with lead include 102 e μA of Pb24+ and 6.4 e μA of Pb37+. Uranium has been produced using the sputter method resulting in 39 e μA of U26+, 30 e μA of U29+, and 1.1 e μA of U43+. These results in general represent a factor of 2 improvement over the preupgrade beam intensities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A proton beam of a 50–100 mA is extracted from the ECR plasma at 2.0–3.0 keV energy by a 121-hole, three-grid ion extraction system. Polarized beam injection to RHIC requires only 300–500 μs pulses at 0.2–6 2/3 Hz repetition rate. Pulsed source operation was studied and resulted in a significant current increase at greatly reduced average microwave power and hydrogen gas consumption. A molecular H2+ ion beam component out of the ECR source might cause polarization dilution, when H20 molecular beam is dissociated in the sodium ionizer cell with the production of H- ions (having half the energy of the main component) with lower polarization. Admixture of oxygen gas reduces the H2+ beam component. A reduction to less than 5% was observed also in pulsed ECR operation. As a result of the ECR-source optimization, the RHIC optically pumped polarized H+ ion source intensity was increased up to 0.5–1.0 mA at routine operation (maximum current 1.5 mA). A polarization of 80% was measured in a 200 MeV polarimeter. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 75 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1542 EP - 1542 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - An electron beam ion source (EBIS) that would satisfy Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (at Brookhaven National Laboratory) (RHIC) requirements should be capable of producing intensities of, e.g., Au32+ ions of about 3×109 particles/pulse in 10–40 μs pulses. The total charge extracted (all charge states) would be 85 nC, assuming 20% in the peak charge state. To achieve this at Brookhaven National Laboratory, pulsed-electron beam currents up to 10 A, 100 ms are being used. A test EBIS has been constructed, designed for the full electron beam power and having close to half of the trap length of an EBIS for RHIC. As a result of successful experiments on the test EBIS, we are confident that an EBIS meeting RHIC requirements can be built. Initial electron beam tests have demonstrated a 100 ms, 8.6 A electron beam through the EBIS trap. The stable operation of 10 A, 50 ms electron beams through the EBIS trap has also been achieved. Gold spectra with a dominant charge state 34+ and total ion charge 55 nC measured on a current transformer have been obtained at the EBIS exit after a 30 ms confinement period. Recent studies with an in-line time-of-flight spectrometer with measurement of charge on a Faraday cup have shown 83% of the >28 nC extracted charge to be Au ions peaked at Au25+, for a 7 A electron beam and 10 ms confinement period. Typical normalized rms emittance values using a 6.8 A electron beam, 20–40 nC total ion charge, and 1–3 mA extracted ion current have been in the range of 0.08–0.1 π mm mrad. An energy analysis of the total extracted ion pulses >35 nC has indicated a longitudinal energy spread of <2 kV full width at half maximum after a 35 ms confinement period using a 7 A electron beam. Most design goals have been exceeded and much of the present work is geared toward improving reliability and providing larger safety margins. These include upgrading the electron gun, decoupling the electron beam launch energy from the electron collection energy, and tailoring the magnetic fields to reduce electron beam losses. Details of these measurements, tests in progress to improve performance, and plans for optimizing the design of the RHIC EBIS will be presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In order to provide increased cathode lifetime and reliability at the required 10 A, and accommodate future upgrades of RHIC EBIS ion intensity, it is desirable to upgrade the electron gun. Simulations have been made for a new electron gun and electron collector capable of generating and dissipating an electron beam with current up to 20 A. The method of forming the electron beam using magnetic compression and inverse magnetron geometry of the electron gun are the same as has been tested successfully on the electron beam test stand. The new gun has higher perveance and partially shielded spherical cathode. A bell-shaped radial current density distribution with reduced current density on a periphery of the beam, combined with a modified shape of the electron collector magnet shim, yields a simulated power density on the surface of the electron collector below 400 W/cm2 for electron beam currents up to 20 A. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Numerical simulations have been done with the use of the IGUN and OPERA-3D codes. Numerical simulations with IGUN code show that the effective electron current can reach more than 100 A with a beam current density of about 300–400 A/cm2 and the electron energy in the region of several KeV with a corresponding increase of the ion output. Off-axis ion extraction from the TEBIS, being the nonaxially symmetric problem, was simulated with OPERA-3D (SCALA) code. The conceptual design and main parameters of new tubular sources which are under consideration at JINR, MSL, and BNL are based on these simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The vacuum arc configuration that is conventionally used to produce intense beams of metal ions was altered so as to form gaseous ion beams, with only minimal changes to the external circuitry and no changes internally to the ion source. In our experiments we formed beams from oxygen (O+ and O2+), nitrogen (N+ and N2+), argon (Ar+), and carbon dioxide (C+, CO2+, O+, and O2+) at extraction voltage of 2–50 kV. We used a pulsed mode of operation, with beam pulses ∼50 ms long and repetition rate 10 pulses per second, for a duty cycle of about 50%. Downstream ion beam current as measured by a 5 cm diameter Faraday cup was typically 0.5 mA pulse or about 250 μA time averaged. This time averaged beam current is very similar to that obtained for metal ions when the source is operated in the usual vacuum arc mode. Here we describe the modifications made to the source and the results of our investigations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Many facilities utilize the isotope-separator-on-line (ISOL) method in which species of interest are generated within a solid or liquid target matrix. Experimentally useful RIBs are often difficult to generate by this technique because of the times required for diffusion from the interior of the target material, and to effusively transport the species of interest to the ion source following diffusion release in relation to its lifetime. Therefore, these delay times must be minimized. We have developed an experimental method that can be used to determine effusive-flow times of arbitrary geometry target/vapor transport systems. The technique utilizes a fast valve to measure effusive-flow times as short as 0.1 ms for any chemically active or inactive species through any target system, independent of size, geometry and materials of construction. In this report, we provide a theoretical basis for effusive flow through arbitrary geometry vapor transport systems, describe a universal experimental apparatus for measuring effusive-flow times, and provide time spectra for noble gases through prototype RIB target/vapor-transport systems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The self-consistent, unbiased elliptical exclusion analysis uses an ellipse to determine the bias from the data outside the ellipse, before calculating the rms emittance from the bias-subtracted data within the ellipse. Increasing the ellipse size until the rms emittance estimate saturates allows for determining the minimum elliptical area that includes all real signals, even those buried in the noise. Variations of the ellipse shape and orientations are used to test the robustness of the results. Background fluctuations cause fluctuations in the rms emittance estimate, which are an estimate of the uncertainty incurred through the analysis. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In some collaborative work at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory the lens was used to good effect for carrying out high dose ion implantation processing. In the process of this work a very narrow range of low magnetic field was found for which the ion-optical characteristics of the lens improved markedly. Subsequent theoretical analysis and computer modeling has led to an understanding of this phenomenon. These serendipitous results open up some attractive possibilities for the development of a new compact and low cost plasma lens based on permanent magnets rather than on current-driven field coils surrounding the lens volume. The development of this kind of lens, including both very low noise and minimal spherical aberration effects, may lead to a tool suitable for use in the injection beam lines of high current heavy ion linear accelerators. Here we briefly review the lens fundamentals, some characteristics of focusing heavy ion beams at low magnetic fields, and summarize recent theoretical and experimental developments, with emphasis on the relevance and suitability of the lens for accelerator injection application. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In order to achieve this performance the source must operate with both high peak rf power, ∼45 kW, and high average rf power, ∼3 kW, over an operational run period of 3 weeks. The most critical source component in this respect is the plasma-immersed, porcelain coated rf antenna which can be susceptible to damage during high power operation. The DESY group has developed an external antenna configuration utilizing an Al2O3 plasma chamber which has demonstrated a very long operational period exceeding 25 000 h. Their source operates with peak rf powers comparable to the SNS source but with greatly reduced average rf powers, ∼50 W. In order to explore the applicability of this external antenna concept to high average power ion sources like the SNS source, we have performed thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic analyses of the Al2O3 plasma chamber. This article discusses the final design which has resulted from these studies as well as estimates of the power limitations of such devices. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A total of three ion sources have been fabricated and commissioned at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and subsequently delivered to the SNS at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The ion sources are currently being rotated between operation on the SNS accelerator, where they are involved in ongoing efforts to commission the SNS LINAC, and the hot spare stand (HSS), where high-current tests are in progress. Commissioning work involves operating the source in a low duty-factor mode (pulse width ∼200 μs and repetition rate ∼5 Hz) for extended periods of time while the high-current tests involve source operation at full duty-factor of 6% (1 ms/60 Hz). This report discusses routine performance of the source employed in the commissioning role as well as the initial results of high-current tests performed on the HSS. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 75 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1803 EP - 1808 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - A powerful neutral beam system with six high current H- ion sources achieved a total power of 10.3 MW in the large helical device (LHD). We describe the present status of the ion sources, and the results of studies of cesium consumption, tungsten filament lifetime, and the velocity spectrum of the beam. Maximum power and beam energy in those ion sources range from 3.5 to 4.4 MW and 165 to 180 keV (design energy), respectively. The maximum H- current is ∼25 A. Much progress on beam acceleration and plasma uniformity was facilitated by a new accelerator and new arc power supply system with careful Cs seeding. Cs consumption for 1/2 year of operation ranges from 3.9 to 10.6 g per one source (over 2×104 shots). It is converted to the rate of 0.17–1.5 mg per one shot per source. It is considered that Cs deposition on the inside surface of the plasma source could be from 0.11 to 1.0 monolayer per one shot per source. This is of the same order as the expected optimum coverage of ∼0.7. Filament weight loss was measured in each source. Filaments have to be exchanged every 1–3 months (i.e., ∼104 shots). The filament lifetime cycle, instead of the Cs consumption, determines the maintenance cycle. Distribution of the filament weight loss in each source is nonuniform. The distribution changed after adjusting the arc current distribution to each filament for optimized H- uniformity by an independently adjustable multiarc power supply system and filament supplies. Tungsten deposition is from 0.015 to 0.065 monolayer per shot per source. This is smaller than the Cs deposition. Doppler shift spectroscopy yielded the first velocity spectrum for the LHD-neutral beam injector beam. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We have done computer simulations to study the transport of high current density beamlets and the emittance growth due to this merging process. In our radio frequency (rf) multicusp source experiment, we have produced a cluster of 61 beamlets using minimum gas flow. The current density from a 0.25 cm diameter aperture reached 100 mA/cm2. The normalized 4 rms emittance of 0.0186π mm mrad corresponds to an equivalent ion temperature of 2.08 eV. These results showed that the rf argon plasma source is suitable for producing high current density beamlets that can be merged to form a high current high brightness beam for heavy ion fusion application. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Present day high-energy ion implanters utilize low charge state (usually single charge) ion sources in combination with radio frequency (rf) accelerators. Usually, a MeV Linear Accelerator (MV LINAC) is used for acceleration of a few milliamperes. It is desirable to have instead an intense, high charge state ion source on a relatively low energy platform [direct current (dc) acceleration] to generate high-energy ion beams for implantation. This endeavor is a continuation of earlier research, which resulted in generating ions like Pb+7 and Bi+8 and ion currents exceeding 200 mA. The natural next step is to convert and optimize ion charge state enhancement techniques to generate B, P, As, and Sb ions, and adapt them to a dc implanter. A number of schemes are to be pursued simultaneously. The most promising approach is to be developed into a commercial ion source. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

T1 - Oceans circulation and electron cyclotron resonance sources: Measurement of the AR-39 isotopic ratio in Seawater. JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 75 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1916 EP - 1918 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - The radionuclide 39Ar is produced in the atmosphere by cosmic rays and has an isotopic abundance of 8.1×10-16. Because its half life (T1/2=269 years) is well matched to the time periods involved in the oceanic currents around the Earth, the measurement of the 39Ar isotopic ratio is an ideal tool to date ocean water from different depths. It would complement the information gained by the 14C measurements (T1/2=5730 years). However, the measurement of the isotopic ratio 39Ar/40Ar is a technical challenge: 1 L of modern ocean water contains ∼6500 atoms of 39Ar, and produces ∼17 decays per year. Although it has been possible to detect the 39Ar decays in large volumes of sea water by using the low level counting technique, the possibility of measuring the number of 39Ar atoms faster and in smaller samples using the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technique would be a major breakthrough for this type of measurement. The development of a viable AMS method for 39Ar has been underway for several years at Argonne National Laboratory, and is presently hampered by the presence of stable 39K ions coming from the ion source. Although the intensity of this isobaric contaminant is low (∼pA extracted from the source), it has to be compared with the 39Ar beam intensity (atoms per minutes). In order to separate these two beams (whose mass difference is only 1.6×10-5), the intensity of the 39K beam coming from the ion source has to be reduced by several orders of magnitude. This reduction has been investigated both at Argonne National Laboratory and at Louvain-la-Neuve. Two techniques have been tried out. In the first, a quartz liner is used to provide a clean surface, while in the second these impurities are buried in a SiO2 layer formed in situ by running the source with a mixture of silane and oxygen. The 39K background has been reduced by a factor of 100 with these treatments. These techniques and their results obtained both at Argonne and Louvain-la-Neuve will be presented. The ion source specific requirements for this type of application will also be discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In the last few years, there has been a surge of research in the area of power harvesting. This increase in research has been brought on by the modern advances in wireless technology and low-power electronics such as microelectromechanical systems. The advances have allowed numerous doors to open for power harvesting systems in practical real-world applications. The use of piezoelectric materials to capitalize on the ambient vibrations surrounding a system is one method that has seen a dramatic rise in use for power harvesting. Piezoelectric materials have a crystalline structure that provides them with the ability to transform mechanical strain energy into electrical charge and, vice versa, to convert an applied electrical potential into mechanical strain. This property provides these materials with the ability to absorb mechanical energy from their surroundings, usually ambient vibration, and transform it into electrical energy that can be used to power other devices. While piezoelectric materials are the major method of harvesting energy, other methods do exist; for example, one of the conventional methods is the use of electromagnetic devices. In this paper we discuss the research that has been performed in the area of power harvesting and the future goals that must be achieved for power harvesting systems to find their way into everyday use.

The corrosion crust of the pipe, soil from inside the pipe, and soil from around the pipe were characterized by chemical means and by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The chemical and thermal conditions necessary to produce the identified Pb mineral assemblage was investigated through the development of activity and predominance diagrams. Analysis of total soil Pb concentrations indicates that the lateral movement of Pb from the pipe in the pH >8 soil has exceeded 9 cm. However, background soil Pb concentrations are observed at a lateral distance of 50 cm. The corrosion crust of the lead pipe is composed of litharge [α-PbO(s)], cerussite [PbCO3(s)], and hydrocerussite [Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2(s)]. Similarly, soil inside the pipe and in the 0- to 1-cm zone around the pipe contains cerussite and hydrocerussite. A detailed thermochemical analysis indicates that the formation of hydrocerussite is favored, relative to cerussite, when the CO2 partial pressure is approximately atmospheric (10-35 atm or 10-45 MPa) or less, or when the soil temperature is appropriately 25°C or greater. The formation of stable lead phosphates has not occurred in these alkaline environments, even though apatite is present and thermochemical analysis predicts the formation of chloropyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl(s)]. If chloropyromorphite is removed from consideration, hydroxypyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3OH(s)] is not predicted to form in the presence of apatite.

The best uncertainty achieved in most of these articles is greater than ±0.01° in calculating the solar zenith and azimuth angles. For some, the algorithm is valid for a limited number of years varying from 15 years to a hundred years. This report is a step by step procedure for implementing an algorithm to calculate the solar zenith and azimuth angles in the period from the year 2000 to 6000, with uncertainties of ±0.0003°. The algorithm is described in a book written by Jean Meeus in 1998. This report is written in a step by step format to simplify the complicated steps described in the book, with a focus on the sun instead of the planets and stars in general. It also introduces some changes to accommodate for solar radiation applications. The changes include changing the direction of measuring azimuth angles to be measured from north and eastward instead of being measured from south and eastward, and the direction of measuring the observer’s geographical longitude to be measured as positive eastward from Greenwich meridian instead of negative. This report also includes the calculation of incidence angle for a surface that is tilted to any horizontal and vertical angle, as described by Iqbals in 1983.

X-ray diffraction studies show that the introduction of iodine at these concentrations (0.08 at%), produces no other phases and that the average crystalline structure remains the same as that of pure ZnSe. XAFS results show that the iodine enters into the ZnSe lattice substituting Se. An increase in the I–Zn distance was observed compared to the Se–Zn distance in undoped ZnSe, while the second-neighbor distance was the same as that found in undoped ZnSe. These results contrast with those found in other doped semiconductors such as CdTe:In, CdTe:Cu, and noteworthy ZnSe:Cl. In those cases, at this dopant levels the local structure around the dopant atoms shows a significant lattice distortion, signaled by two different bond lengths to the nearest-neighbor atoms, suggesting the formation of a dopant–cation vacancy complex defect.

Heterojunctions of this pair of dopable semiconductors are being studied for applications as thermophotovoltaic devices. We have grown films of these materials on glass substrates, and X-ray diffaction studies confirm the phase formation and polycrystalline nature of the films. Optical absorption studies revealed three distinct transitions in the Zn3P2 films, at 1.3, 1.55, and 1.85 eV (in agreement with literature values found in single crystals). Analysis of optical spectra of the films showed direct transitions at 0.62, 0.65, and 0.71 eV. We also report measurements of photoconductivity and photoluminescence in these films. Hall effect measurements show the Cd3P2 films to be n-type with mobilities as high as 429 cm2/V s. Carrier lifetimes were also measured directly by a photoconductive decay technique. The films show promise for TPV devices, although fabrication of such multilayer devices is in only a preliminary stage.

At the optimized lattice constant the volume per C60 is found to be smaller than the the most-stable hexagon-coordination A15 phase, while the total energy of the fcc phase is about 0.9 eV higher than the A15 phase. These results indicate that a low-temperature and high-pressure synthesis method might be a possible way to produce the fcc Cs3C60 phase. In addition, it is also found that the A15 Cs3C60 should show a phase transformation from a hexagon-coordination phase to a pentagon-coordination phase under hydrostatic pressure.

With the recent advances in wireless and micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) technology , sensors can be placed in exotic and remote locations. As these devices are wireless it becomes necessary that they have their own power supply. The power supply in most cases is the conventional battery; however, problems can occur when using batteries because of their finite life span. Because most sensors are being developed so that they can be placed in remote locations such as structural sensors on a bridge or global positioning service (GPS) tracking devices on animals in the wild, obtaining the sensor simply to replace the battery can become a very expensive task. Furthermore, in the case of sensors located on civil structures, it is often advantageous to embed them, making access impossible. Therefore, if a method of obtaining the untapped energy surrounding these sensors was implemented, significant life could be added to the power supply. One method is to use PZT materials to obtain ambient energy surrounding the test specimen. This captured energy could then be used to prolong the power supply or in the ideal case provide endless energy for the sensors lifespan. The goal of this study is to develop a model of the PZT power harvesting device. This model would simplify the design procedure necessary for determining the appropriate size and vibration levels necessary for sufficient energy to be produced and supplied to the electronic devices. An experimental verification of the model is also performed to ensure its accuracy.

This domain (AT-N440) catalyzes the deadenylylation and subsequent activation of GS. The structure has been divided into three subdomains, two of which bear some similarity to kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase (KNT). However, the orientation of the two domains in AT-N440 differs from that in KNT. The active site of AT-N440 has been identified on the basis of structural comparisons with KNT, DNA polymerase β, and polyadenylate polymerase. AT-N440 has a cluster of metal binding residues that are conserved in polβ-like nucleotidyl transferases. The location of residues conserved in all ATase sequences was found to cluster around the active site. Many of these residues are very likely to play a role in catalysis, substrate binding, or effector binding.

Wear tests were performed in existing and reformulated gasolines as part of a study to improve fuel systems for spark-ignited, direct-injected (SIDI) engines. Ball-on-three-disc (BOTD) tests were performed to determine the lubricity of the gasolines, and the wear surfaces were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. NFC coatings reduced friction and total wear by up to 48% and 39%, respectively. No evidence was seen of coating graphitization, the formation of transfer films from the coatings, or the presence of chemical protective films originating from the gasolines.

There may also be one or more expert opinions regarding the response of interest. Traditional statistical approaches consider each of these datasets separately with corresponding separate analyses and fitted statistical models. A compelling argument can be made that better, more precise statistical models can be obtained if the combined data are analyzed simultaneously using a hierarchical Bayesian integrated modeling approach. However, such an integrated approach must recognize important differences, such as possible biases, in these experiments and expert opinions. We illustrate our proposed integrated methodology by using it to model the thermodynamic operation point of a top-spray fluidized bed microencapsulation processing unit. Such units are used in the food industry to tune the effect of functional ingredients and additives. An important thermodynamic response variable of interest, Y, is the steady-state outlet air temperature. In addition to a set of physical experimental observations involving six factors used to predict Y, similar results from three different computer models are also available. The integrated data from the physical experiment and the three computer models are used to fit an appropriate response surface (regression) model for predicting Y.

Mater. Rev. 47, 2002, 113–152]. DKDP is a uniaxial anisotropic crystal, which is highly transparent in the visible and infrared spectral ranges. This makes DKDP challenging but well suited for study by both transmission ellipsometry and more conventional reflection-mode ellipsometry. Mueller matrix ellipsometry measurements were required because the data included both anisotropic and depolarizing effects. A rotating analyzer ellipsometer, with computer-controlled Berek compensator after the input polarizer and before the sample, allowed measurement of 11 Mueller matrix elements in transmission mode. Spectroscopic transmission Mueller matrix measurements allow the index difference Δn=no−ne to be determined throughout the transparent spectral range along with the orientation of the optic axis. Reflection mode ellipsometry is used to extract the absolute index of the ordinary component over the spectral range 0.73 to 9 eV (138–1700 nm). Determination of one index component allows calculation of the other component since the difference no−ne is known from the transmission Mueller matrix measurements.

In this study, a new method has been developed to extract the thickness evolution of the μc-Si:H volume fraction in mixed-phase amorphous+microcrystalline silicon [(a+μc)-Si:H] i-layers. This method applies real time spectroscopic ellipsometry (RTSE) performed using a rotating-compensator multichannel ellipsometer during r.f. plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of the films, in conjunction with a two-layer virtual interface analysis of the RTSE data. In this analysis, the depth profile of the μc-Si:H volume fraction in the mixed-phase growth regime can be determined simultaneously with the evolution of the surface roughness layer thickness. From this information, the microcrystallite nucleation density and cone angle can be estimated, the latter describing the preferential growth of the silicon microcrystallites. The results from RTSE analysis correlate well with structural and p–i–n solar cell device measurements.

Throughout the range of parameters investigated in this three-dimensional parameter space we find good correlations between post-deposition conductivity measurements and the thickness of the film at the transition from amorphous to nanocrystalline growth, as indicated by a smoothening transition in the surface roughness measured by RTSE during film growth. These results validate the use of RTSE as an in-situ diagnostic to elucidate the nature of HWCVD film growth, particularly as it relates to maximization of photovoltaic device efficiency.

A method to deduce an arrangement of magnetic domains in a thin magnetic whisker from the knowledge of the stray flux is also described. A simple analytical model of the magnetic properties of the probes allows the extraction of computer images, which simulate the experimental results satisfactory. The reliability of the recorded experimental maps of the magnetic flux arising from these kinds of sensors allows an evaluation of the total flux affecting the sample and the calculation of the magnetic field profile along the tip axis.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 3 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Liquid flow through unsaturated fractures often proceeds as fingers or preferential flow paths. During the invasion of liquid fingers into an initially dry, nonhorizontal fracture, fingers may drain, forming a narrow thread of liquid called a rivulet that connects to a wider portion of liquid at the advancing front, defined as a blob. Experimental studies using idealized fractures were performed to investigate the effects of wettability, surface roughness, and aperture size on several important features of gravity-driven flow in fractures: liquid drainage, blob migration, and rivulet flow. The experiments demonstrate that the critical length of the blob before drainage occurred was significantly longer on surfaces with intermediate wettability and on surfaces with roughness on the order of 100 µm than on a smooth, flat water-wetting surface. However, drainage did not occur on surfaces with smaller-scale roughness on the order of 10 µm. Blob velocities were also measured and were always less than the saturated gravity-driven flow velocity, even when a liquid with a static contact angle of zero was used. This reduction in velocity was attributed to contact angle hysteresis. Rivulet widths measured as a function of flow rate between glass and acrylic parallel plates were generally larger on the acrylic plates than the glass plates for a particular flow rate, demonstrating the sensitivity of rivulet flow to wettability. In addition, the cubic law overpredicted the measured rivulet widths, except for the widths measured between the acrylic plates at 20°. The effect of aperture variability on rivulet flow was also examined. At a critical aperture ranging between 0.25 and 0.37 mm, the liquid in the rivulet did not completely span the aperture, forming two streamlets of liquid on either side of the fracture.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 3 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - In this paper, we present a solute flux approach for analyzing solute transport statistics in statistically nonstationary, unsaturated flow. Flow nonstationarity in the vadose zone may arise from a number of factors. It is useful to develop a systematic approach that incorporates these factors into an uncertainty analysis. We first derive the general forms for solute flux moments. The solute flux moments are associated with one- and two-particle joint probability distribution functions (JPDF). We illustrate our results for certain forms of one-particle and two-particle JPDFs, in which the particle travel time is assumed to be lognormally distributed and the particle transverse displacement normally distributed. In the numerical examples, the Eulerian velocity moments is obtained by solving the head moment equations numerically using a finite-difference method. Our results show that flow nonstationarity has a significant impact on the statistics of solute fluxes and solute breakthrough curves.

A percolation model is employed to simulate the distribution of TCE within 10 × 10 × 10 m source zones with spatially heterogeneous aquifer properties following a release event. Distributed aquifer properties and DNAPL saturations are utilized to simulate coupled groundwater flow and long-term dissolved phase transport. Grid-scale dissolution rates are computed based on published bench-scale relationships. Effective field-scale mass transfer coefficients are computed from simulated TCE fluxes at the downstream source zone boundary. Heterogeneity in groundwater velocity and DNAPL distributions leads to field-scale mass transfer coefficients that are much lower than laboratory-scale values. Field-scale mass transfer coefficients are observed to vary in direct proportion to the mean groundwater velocity, in contrast to laboratory studies that indicate proportionality with velocity to a power of ∼0.7. Computed field-scale mass transfer coefficients vary approximately in proportion to relative DNAPL mass raised to an empirical depletion exponent, which is <1 for laterally extensive DNAPL lenses and >1 for more randomly oriented residual DNAPL regions. The former DNAPL geometries exhibit slow reductions in source concentration and contaminant flux with time as mass depletion proceeds. The latter DNAPL geometries exhibit significant and steady declines in source concentration and contaminant flux with time as depletion occurs.

The medium heterogeneity is represented by a combination of matrix medium conductivity with spatially distributed sets of inclusions. Estimation of effective conductivity is based on a self-consistent approach introduced by Shvidler [1985]. The tensor of effective hydraulic conductivity is calculated numerically by using a simple system of equations for the main diagonal elements. Verification of the method is done by comparison with theoretical results for special cases and numerical results of Desbarats [1987] and our own numerical modeling. The method was applied to estimating the effective hydraulic conductivity of a 2-D and 3-D fractured porous medium. The medium heterogeneity is represented by a combination of matrix conductivity and a spatially distributed set of highly conductive fractures. The tensor of effective hydraulic conductivity is calculated for parallel- and random-oriented sets of fractures. The obtained effective conductivity values coincide with Romm's [1966] and Snow's [1969] theories for infinite fracture length. These values are also physically acceptable for the sparsely fractured medium case with low fracture spatial density and finite fracture length. Verification of the effective hydraulic conductivity obtained for a fractured porous medium is done by comparison with our own numerical modeling for a 3-D case and with Malkovsky and Pek's [1995] results for a 2-D case.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 40 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Hysteresis in the relation between water saturation and matric potential is generally regarded as a basic aspect of unsaturated porous media. However, the nature of an upper length scale limit for saturation hysteresis has not been previously addressed. Since hysteresis depends on whether or not capillary rise occurs at the grain scale, this criterion was used to predict required combinations of grain size, surface tension, fluid-fluid density differences, and acceleration in monodisperse systems. The Haines number ( Ha), composed of the aforementioned variables, is proposed as a dimensionless number useful for separating hysteretic ( Ha < 15) versus nonhysteretic ( Ha > 15) behavior. Vanishing of hysteresis was predicted to occur for grain sizes greater than 10.4 ± 0.5 mm, for water-air systems under the acceleration of ordinary gravity, based on Miller-Miller scaling and Haines' original model for hysteresis. Disappearance of hysteresis was tested through measurements of drainage and wetting curves of sands and gravels and occurs between grain sizes of 10 and 14 mm (standard conditions). The influence of surface tension was tested through measurements of moisture retention in 7 mm gravel, without and with a surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS)). The ordinary water system ( Ha = 7) exhibited hysteresis, while the SDBS system ( Ha = 18) did not. The experiments completed in this study indicate that hysteresis in moisture retention relations has an upper limit at Ha = 16 ± 2 and show that hysteresis is not a fundamental feature of unsaturated porous media.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 40 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Hydrologic analyses typically rely on a single conceptual-mathematical model. Yet hydrologic environments are open and complex, rendering them prone to multiple interpretations and mathematical descriptions. Adopting only one of these may lead to statistical bias and underestimation of uncertainty. Bayesian model averaging (BMA) [ Hoeting et al., 1999] provides an optimal way to combine the predictions of several competing models and to assess their joint predictive uncertainty. However, it tends to be computationally demanding and relies heavily on prior information about model parameters. Neuman [2002, 2003] proposed a maximum likelihood version (MLBMA) of BMA to render it computationally feasible and to allow dealing with cases where reliable prior information is lacking. We apply MLBMA to seven alternative variogram models of log air permeability data from single-hole pneumatic injection tests in six boreholes at the Apache Leap Research Site (ALRS) in central Arizona. Unbiased ML estimates of variogram and drift parameters are obtained using adjoint state maximum likelihood cross validation [ Samper and Neuman, 1989a] in conjunction with universal kriging and generalized least squares. Standard information criteria provide an ambiguous ranking of the models, which does not justify selecting one of them and discarding all others as is commonly done in practice. Instead, we eliminate some of the models based on their negligibly small posterior probabilities and use the rest to project the measured log permeabilities by kriging onto a rock volume containing the six boreholes. We then average these four projections and associated kriging variances, using the posterior probability of each model as weight. Finally, we cross validate the results by eliminating from consideration all data from one borehole at a time, repeating the above process and comparing the predictive capability of MLBMA with that of each individual model. We find that MLBMA is superior to any individual geostatistical model of log permeability among those we consider at the ALRS.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 40 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - We consider the numerical prediction of transient flow in bounded, randomly heterogeneous porous media driven by random sources, initial heads, and boundary conditions without resorting to Monte Carlo simulation. After applying the Laplace transform to the governing stochastic flow equations, we derive exact nonlocal (integro-differential) equations for the mean and variance-covariance of transformed head and flux, conditioned on measured values of log conductivity Y = ln K. Approximating these conditional moment equations recursively to second order in the standard deviation σ Y of Y, we solve them by finite elements for superimposed mean-uniform and convergent flows in a two-dimensional domain. An alternative conditional mean solution is obtained through localization of the exact moment expressions. The nonlocal and localized solutions are obtained using a highly efficient parallel algorithm and inverted numerically back into the time domain. A comparison with Monte Carlo simulations demonstrates that the moment solutions are remarkably accurate for strongly heterogeneous media with σ Y2 as large as 4. The nonlocal solution is only slightly more accurate than the much simpler localized solution, but the latter does not yield information about predictive uncertainty. The accuracy of each solution improves markedly with conditioning. A preliminary comparison of computational efficiency suggests that both the nonlocal and localized solutions for mean head and its variance require significantly less computer time than is required for Monte Carlo statistics to stabilize when the same direct matrix solver is used for all three (we do not presently know how using iterative solvers would have affected this conclusion). This is true whether the Laplace inversion and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted sequentially or in parallel on multiple processors and regardless of problem size. The underlying exact and recursive moment equations, as well as the proposed computational algorithm, are valid in both two and three dimensions; only the numerical implementation of our algorithm is two-dimensional.

SN - 14346044 AB - Recent results from RHIC experiments suggest that a hot and dense QCD matter, which maybe the quark gluon plasma (QGP), is formed in Gold+Gold collisions at a center mass energy of 200 GeV per colliding nucleon pair. The LHC is planning to accelerate heavy nuclei such as Lead at energies of 2.75 TeV/nucleon. At these energies it will be possible to produce a even higher temperature QCD matter. In addition, hard scattering cross sections will increase significantly and they could be used as probes of the QCD matter. RHIC experiments suggest that hard scattered quarks inside the QGP radiate gluons and therefore modify the jet properties such as energy angular distribution. The ATLAS detector with its large acceptance is ideally suited to detect and study jets from nucleus-nucleus collisions. Initial simulation studies show most of the ATLAS detector will perform well in a high multiplicity environment, including inner detector tracking. Jet reconstruction is possible with an energy resolution close to the high luminosity proton-proton run. In this paper we present a summary of our initial round of simulations studies of the ATLAS detector in the heavy ion environment.

SN - 14346044 AB - Using the data samples collected with the CDF Run II detector during the year 2002 and early 2003, new measurements of the production cross-sections and the masses, lifetimes and branching fractions of beauty and charm hadrons are presented. New measurements of the Λb mass, lifetime, and branching fractions have greatly improved the current knowledge of bottom baryon properties and decay dynamics. The large charm signals made available by the silicon vertex track trigger have enabled the establishment of key measurements using rare charm decays that are sensitive to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The decay signals Bs → Dsπ and the two body charmless decays of B0 and Bs have been established. These decay channels are important milestones towards the measurement of Bs mixing and direct CP violation in the B system.

SN - 14346044 AB - There has already been a study in some depth about the physics reach and the needed upgrades to the LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, in the recent past [1]. Subsequently, there were presentations at the CERN ICFA meeting on the accelerator upgrades [2], the detector upgrades [3] and the consequent physics reach [4]. In this note only a brief overview of the detector needs is attempted. If there is a tenfold increase in luminosity (the Super LHC or SLHC). First an example of the increased physics reach using sequential Z bosons is given. The rapidity distribution of heavy states is also illustrated. Then a simple parameterization of the inclusive inelastic, or “minbias”, events is presented. This model is subsequently used to explore the impact of a tenfold increase in pileup on jet finding and reconstruction at the SLHC. It is also used to estimate the occupancy of tracker elements and the ionization radiation dose sustained by the tracker. Those estimates inform on the shape of possible tracker upgrades for the SLHC and the associated front-end electronics, which must also be upgraded. The calorimetry of ATLAS and CMS must also be strengthened in order to work at the SLHC. The ATLAS liquid argon and the CMS crystal and scintillator calorimetry are briefly considered. A reduction in forward angular coverage to compensate for the increased radiation field is mentioned. For the muon system a similar reduction in angular coverage would maintain the remainder of the system in a state essentially the same as that for LHC operations. Finally, triggering and data acquisition issues are cursorily discussed.

The decision to permanently close this reactor in 2000 cut short the efforts to implement a new conceptual design to optimize this beam in preparation for use with possible new BNCT protocols. Details of the conceptual design to produce a highly intensified and focused neutron beam with less gamma and neutron contamination in tissues are presented here for their potential applicability to other reactor facilities. Neutron-photon coupled Monte Carlo calculations were used to predict the flux, current, heating, and absorbed dose produced by the proposed design. The results were benchmarked by the dose rate and flux measurements taken at the facility then in use.

Simple approaches are needed to create test surfaces in order to quantify contaminant removal or “decon” methods. We used steel discs sized to allow direct and accurate alpha counting in a Ludlum scanner from radioactive contaminants. A typical 3.8-cm-diameter coupon had a depleted uranyl loading of about 0.1 mg U cm-2 with a count of 980 dpm. The resulting alpha radiation was measured with a precision of >97% for the same coupon. The alpha concentration on replicate coupons differed by as much as 9% (standard deviation). This method, based on earlier methods, required a uranyl solution to be dried but lowers the baking temperature to less than 100°C to increase safety in a typical radiological laboratory. A dike was used to provide a uniform coating of the uranyl solution.

All the Pb particles studied melt well above the bulk melting temperature, with the melting point elevation displaying a damped periodic trend with increasing Pb particle size. By inspecting snapshots derived from the simulations, it is also possible to conclude that melting occurs via nucleation at {1 0 0} interfaces. A phenomenological model, based on the consideration of interfacial energy, volume expansion and lattice mismatch, has been developed to describe this interesting melting behavior. Our model leads to the conclusion that the periodic variation of melting point with size is due to an oscillatory strain energy contribution arising from the large size mismatch of Pb and Al atoms.

While the rolled micrometer-scale multilayers exhibit dislocation cell structure formation and large lattice rotations of the interface plane normal, the nano-scale multilayers reveal no dislocation cell structures and insignificant rotations of the interface normal. The observed behavior following large plastic strains is interpreted in terms of dislocation mechanisms of deformation in nano-scale laminates that result in symmetric slip.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/05/03/ VL - 84 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 3447 EP - 3449 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - The minority carrier lifetime of electrons (τn) in p-type GaAs double heterostructures grown on GaAs substrates and compositionally graded Ge/Si1-xGex/Si (SiGe) substrates with varying threading dislocation densities (TDDs) were measured at room temperature using time-resolved photoluminescence. The electron lifetimes for homoepitaxial GaAs and GaAs grown on SiGe (TDD∼1×106 cm-2) with a dopant concentration of 2×1017 cm-3 were ∼21 and ∼1.5 ns, respectively. The electron lifetime measured on SiGe was substantially lower than the previously measured minority carrier hole lifetime (τp) of ∼10 ns, for n-type GaAs grown on SiGe substrates with a similar residual TDD and dopant concentration. The reduced lifetime for electrons is a consequence of their higher mobility, which yields an increased sensitivity to the presence of dislocations in GaAs grown on metamorphic buffers. The disparity in dislocation sensitivity for electron and hole recombination has significant implications for metamorphic III-V devices. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The model is also used to simulate the piezoelectric properties of the engineered domain configurations and the response is compared with that of an analogous single domain state. The results show that the low field piezoelectric constants for the engineered configuration are very close to those obtained for the corresponding single domain state and the domain wall influence is not significant. For high fields, domain walls act as nucleation sites for an electric field induced structural transition. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The potential measurement reveals a higher surface potential or a smaller work function on grain boundaries of the film than on the grain surfaces. This demonstrates the existence of a local built-in potential on grain boundaries, and the grain boundary is positively charged. The local built-in potential on the grain boundary is expected to increase the minority-carrier collection area from one to three dimensional. In addition, a work function decrease induced by Na on the film surface was observed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We found that the thickness dependence of Jc(H) for the YBCO thick films crossovers at high fields for T>50 K, where the 0.2-μm-thick film carries significantly lower Jc(H) than the 3-μm-thick film at high fields, even though the zero- or low-field Jc for the 0.2-μm-thick film is more than twice the value for the 3-μm-thick film. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

However, ions at keV energies lose a substantial amount of energy ΔN in a SSD through Coulombic interactions with target nuclei rather than through interactions that contribute to the SSD output pulse, whose magnitude is a measure of the ion’s incident energy. Because ΔN depends on the ion species, detector material, and interaction physics, it represents a fundamental limitation of the output pulse magnitude of the detector. Using 100% quantum collection efficiency silicon photodiodes with a thin (40–60 Å) SiO2 passivation layer, we accurately quantify ΔN for incident 1–120 keV ions and, therefore, evaluate the detection limits of keV ions using silicon detectors. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The SF width significantly affects the mechanical behavior of metals. Al has very high stacking fault energy and, consequently, very narrow SF width in its coarse-grained state. We have found that some SFs in nanocrystalline Al are surprisingly 1.4–6.8 nm wide, which is 1.5–11 times higher than the reported experimental value in single crystal Al. Our analytical model shows that such wide SFs are formed due to the small grain size and possibly also to the interaction of SF ribbons with high density of dislocations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

According to their natural band-offset alignments CdSe/CdS is a type-I heterostructure and CdSe/CdTe is a type-II heterostructure. We found that, the electron state changes very little, but the hole wave function in CdSe/CdS quantum dots has been localized within the core, while the hole wave function in CdSe/CdTe quantum dots is localized within the shell. The hole state in CdSe/CdTe quantum dots has drastically different characteristics as in CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots. The band alignment, strain effect, and quantum confinement are all important to determine the electronic structures of these systems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The single-crystal structure of the complex, [(PPh3)2Cu(μ-ppbCl2)Cu(PPh3)2](BF4)2 in the monoclinic space group P21/c, 18.2590(1), 21.1833(3), 23.2960(3) Å with Z = 4 is reported. The copper(I) complexes are deeply colored through MLCT transitions in the visible region. The vibrational spectra of the ligands have been modeled using ab initio hybrid density functional theory (DFT) methods (B3LYP/6-31G(d)) and compared to experimental FT-Raman and IR data. The DFT calculations are used to interpret the resonance Raman spectra, and thus the electronic spectra, of the complexes. The preferential enhancement of modes associated with the phenanthroline section of the ligands with blue excitation (γexc = 457.9 nm) over phenazine-based modes with redder excitation (γexc = 514.5 and 632.8 nm) suggests the 2 MLCT transitions terminated on different unoccupied MOs are present under the visible absorption envelope. The radical anion species of the ligands are prepared by the electrochemical reduction of the binuclear copper(I) complexes; no evidence of dechelation prevalent in other copper(I) complexes is observed. The resonance Raman spectra of the reduced complexes are dramatically different from those of the parent species. Across the series common bands are observed at about 1590 and 1570 cm-1 which do not shift with reduction but are altered in intensity. The normal-mode analysis of the radical anion species suggests that these normal modes primarily involve bond length distortions that are unaffected by...

The tool combines the versatility and efficiency of a commercial finite element analysis code, MARC®, with an in-house developed robust and flexible electrochemical (EC) module. Based upon characteristic parameters obtained experimentally and assigned by the user, the EC module calculates the current density distribution, heat generation, and fuel and oxidant species concentration, taking the temperature profile provided by MARC® and operating conditions such as the fuel and oxidant flow rate and the total stack output voltage or current as the input. MARC® performs flow and thermal analyses based on the initial and boundary thermal and flow conditions and the heat generation calculated by the EC module. The main coupling between MARC® and EC is for MARC® to supply the temperature field to EC and for EC to give the heat generation profile to MARC®. The loosely coupled, iterative scheme is advantageous in terms of memory requirement, numerical stability and computational efficiency. The coupling is iterated to self-consistency for a steady-state solution. Sample results for steady states as well as the startup process for stacks with different flow designs are presented to illustrate the modeling capability and numerical performance characteristic of the simulation tool.

Even with a less efficient but higher power density 0.6 V per cell than the base case 0.7 V per cell at the rated power point, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are projected to offer essentially the same fuel economy multiplier. The key to obtaining high fuel economy as measured on standardized urban and highway drive schedules lies in maintaining high efficiency of the fuel cell (FC) system at low loads. To achieve this, besides a high performance fuel cell stack, low parasitic losses in the air management system (i.e., turndown and part load efficiencies of the compressor–expander module) are critical.

Both the first-cycle reversible and irreversible capacities of the natural graphite anode decreased with an increase in the anode density though compression. The reduction in reversible capacity was attributed to a reduction in the chemical diffusion coefficient for lithium through partially agglomerated particles with a larger stress. For the natural graphite in this study the potentials for Li (de)insertion shifted between the first and second formation cycles and the extent of this shift was dependent on electrode density. The relation between this peak shift and the irreversible capacity loss is probably due to the decrease in graphite surface area with compression.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/05/04/ VL - 43 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4934 EP - 4943 SN - 00062960 AB - The structure of the D85S mutant of bacteriorhodopsin with a nitrate anion bound in the Schiff base binding site and the structure of the anion-free protein have been obtained in the same crystal form. Together with the previously solved structures of this anion pump, in both the anion-free state and bromide- bound state, these new structures provide insight into how this mutant of bacteriorhodopsin is able to bind a variety of different anions in the same binding pocket. The structural analysis reveals that the main structural change that accommodates different anions is the repositioning of the polar side chain of S85. On the basis of these X-ray crystal structures, the prediction is then made that the D85S/D212N double mutant might bind similar anions and do so over a broader pH range than does the single mutant. Experimental comparison of the dissociation constants, Kd, for a variety of anions confirms this prediction and demonstrates, in addition, that the binding affinity is dramatically improved by the D212N substitution.

Negatively-charged rhodamine-labeled DNA was allowed to adsorb onto positively-charged nanoparticles in deionized water and surface-induced fluorescence quenching was observed by measuring the fluorescence lifetime. Fluorescence quenching decreased with the addition of NaCl to the DNA-nanoparticle complex, which implies that the separation of DNA from the nanoparticles increased. However, comparison of fluorescence lifetime decays between free labeled-DNA and the DNA-nanoparticle complex shows that the adsorbed DNA remained less flexible than free labeled-DNA.

We have determined the crystal structure of the protease domain from BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A). The structure reveals a homodimer in a product-bound state, with loop F242-V257 from each monomer deeply buried in its partner's catalytic site. The loop, which acts as a substrate, is oriented in reverse of the canonical direction for other zinc proteases. The Y249-Y250 peptide bond of the substrate loop is hydrolyzed, leaving the Y249 product carboxylate coordinated to the catalytic zinc. From the crystal structure of the BoNT/A protease, detailed models of noncanonical binding and proteolysis can be derived which we propose are also consistent with BoNT/A binding and proteolysis of natural substrate synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25). The proposed BoNT/A substrate-binding mode and catalytic mechanism are markedly different from those previously proposed for the BoNT serotype B.

Materials with tubular shapes and characteristic lengths below one micrometer have been developed for novel field emitter displays and magnetic media, biocatalyst and bio-separation, controlled-release, and adsorbent materials among many others. These tubular inorganic and organic-inorganic structures, which differ from the popular carbon nanotubes, are still made via multistep approaches. Electrohydrodynamic forces provide a method to produce submicrometric liquid jets from a nozzle much larger in diameter than the jet itself. A liquid meniscus exiting the tip of a capillary, when subject to an appropriate electric field, deforms into a conical shape, from whose tip a slender micro- or nanojet is issued.

T1 - Using Ligand Bite Angles To Control the Hydricity of Palladium Diphosphine Complexes. JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/05/05/ VL - 126 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5502 EP - 5514 SN - 00027863 AB - A series of [Pd(diphosphine)2](BF4)2 and Pd(diphosphine)2 complexes have been prepared for which the natural bite angle of the diphosphine ligand varies from 78° to 111°. Structural studies have been completed for 7 of the 10 new complexes described. These structural studies indicate that the dihedral angle between the two planes formed by the two phosphorus atoms of the diphosphine ligands and palladium increases by over 50° as the natural bite angle increases for the [Pd(diphosphine)2](BF4)2 complexes. The dihedral angle for the Pd(diphosphine)2 complexes varies less than 10° for the same range of natural bite angles. Equilibrium reactions of the Pd(diphosphine)2 complexes with protonated bases to form the corresponding [HPd(diphosphine)2]+ complexes were used to determine the pKa values of the corresponding hydrides. Cyclic voltammetry studies of the [Pd(diphosphine)2](BF4)2 complexes were used to determine the half-wave potentials of the Pd(II/I) and Pd(I/O) couples. Thermochemical cycles, half-wave potentials, and measured pKa values were used to determine both the homolytic ([HPd(diphosphine)2]+ → [Pd(diphosphine)2]+ + H˙) and the heterolytic ([HPd(diphosphine)2]+ → [Pd(diphosphine)2]2+ + H-) bond-dissociation free energies, ΔGH˙° and ΔGH-°, respectively. Linear free-energy relationships are observed between pKa and the Pd(I/0) couple and between ΔGH-° and the Pd(II/I) couple. The measured values for °GH˙° were all 57 kcal/mol, whereas the values of ΔGH-° ranged from 43 kcal/mol for [HPd(depe)2]+ (where depe is bis-(diethylphosphino)ethane) to 70 kcal/mol for [HPd(EtXantphos)2]+ (where EtXantphos is 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diethylphosphino)xanthene). It is estimated that the natural bite angle of the ligand contributes approximately 20 kcal/mol to the observed difference of 27 kcal/mol for ΔGH-°.

The hydrolysis constants (*βn,m) and enthalpy of hydrolysis (ΔHn,m) for the reaction mUO22+ + nH2O = (UO2)m(OH)n(2m-n)+ + nH+ were determined by titration potentiometry and calorimetry. The hydrolysis constants, *β1,1, *β2,2, and *β5,3, increased by 2-5 orders of magnitude as the temperature was increased from 10 to 85 °C. The enthalpies of hydrolysis, ΔH2,2 and ΔH5,3, also varied: Δ2,2 became more endothermic while ΔH5,3 became less endothermic as the temperature was increased. The heat capacities of hydrolysis, ΔCp(2,2) and ΔCp(5,3), were calculated to be (152 ± 43) J K-1 mol-1 and -(229 ± 34) J K-1 mol-1, respectively. UV/Vis absorption spectra supported the trend that hydrolysis of U(VI) was enhanced at elevated temperatures. Time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy provided additional information on the hydrolyzed species at different temperatures. Approximation approaches to predict the effect of temperature were tested with the data from this study.

These solid-state NMR experiments demonstrate that the proton is located on the bridging oxygen of the [Nb6O19]8- cluster. The solid-state NMR results also show that the NbOH protons are spatially isolated from similar protons, but undergo proton exchange with the water species located in the crystal lattice. On the basis of double quantum ¹H MAS NMR measurements, it was determined that the water species in the crystal lattice have restricted motional dynamics. Two-dimensional ¹H-17O MAS NMR correlation experiments show that these restricted waters are preferentially associated with the bridging oxygen. Solution 17O NMR experiments show that the hydroxyl proton is also attached to the bridging oxygen for the compound in solution. In addition, solution 17O NMR kinetic studies for the hexaniobate allowed the measurement of relative oxygen exchange rates between the bridging, terminal, and hydroxyl oxygen and the oxygen of the solvent as a function of pH and temperature. These NMR experiments are some of the first investigations into the proton location, oxygen and proton exchange processes, and water dynamics for a base stable polyoxoniobate material, and they provide insight into the chemistry and reactivity of these materials.

The fly rod is modelled as a flexible Euler–Bernoulli beam possessing two degrees of freedom: a rigid-body mode, and a flexible-body mode. The line and the rod are coupled through the boundary conditions at their interface. The resulting initial two-point boundary-value problem is solved numerically using a finite difference algorithm. The numerical solutions for an overhead cast are computed using experimental data as the input for the motion of caster''s hand. The shape of the fly line and the position of the fly rod are compared with images captured by video.

T1 - Synthesis and electronic properties of mononuclear osmium(II) and rhenium(I) complexes containing ligands derived from [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyridophenazine (ppb) JO - Polyhedron JF - Polyhedron Y1 - 2004/05/06/ VL - 23 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1427 SN - 02775387 AB - An improved method for the synthesis of the polypyridyl ligand [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyridophenazine (ppb) is reported. In addition, the syntheses of the new ppb-based ligands L (L=[2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyridophenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido-6,7-dimethylphenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido-6,7-dichlorophenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido[1,2-e]benzophenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c:3,2-e]tripyridoquinoxaline and [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido-5-methylphenazine) are detailed. The complexes [Os(ppb)(bpy)2]2+ and [Os(L)(bpy)2]2+ have been synthesised and their electrochemical, electronic absorption and UV–Vis spectrochemical properties measured. Syntheses of the rhenium(I) complexes fac-[Re(L″)(CO)3Cl] (L = [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyridophenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido-6,7-dimethylphenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido-6,7-dichlorophenazine, [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido[1,2-e]benzophenazine) are also reported. The osmium(II) complexes [Os(L)(bpy)2]2+ (L = 2,3-di-(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline, 6,7-dimethyl-2,3-di-(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline, 6,7-chloro-2,3-di-(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline, 2,3-di-(2-pyridyl)benzo[g]quinoxaline, 4-methyl-di-(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline) have also been prepared and studied. The electronic spectra of the Os and Re complexes are dominated by strong MLCT transitions. The lowest energy MLCT transitions correlate linearly with the first reduction potential for the [Os(L)(bpy)2]2+ series. Electrochemical oxidation of the [Os(L)(bpy)2]2+ and [Os(L)(bpy)2]2+ complexes results in the appearance of LMCT transitions in the visible region while reduction of the [Os(L)(bpy)2]2+ complexes produces complex electronic spectra. Comparison with the reduced fac-[Re(L)(CO)3Cl] complexes allows assignment of L⋅− π→π* transitions in the NIR (1200–1000 nm) and red (850–700 nm) regions. The nonsymmetrical ligands [2,3-a:3,2-c:3,2-e]tripyridoquinoxaline and [2,3-a:3,2-c]dipyrido-5-methylphenazine both coordinate to the [Os(bpy)2]2+ unit in a stereospecific manner to give a single geometric isomer. The crystal structure of [Re(CO)3(ppb)Cl] is reported, in which the polypyridyl ligand deviates significantly from planarity.

The method is based on a linearization in the vicinity of the boundary, and utilizes a Fourier and Laplace transforms in space and time to eliminate the degrees of freedom associated with atoms outside the boundary. This method is straightforward to implement numerically, and thus can be automated for a general crystal lattice. We show that this method reproduces the known kernel for a 1D linear chain, and apply the approach to obtain the damping kernel matrices for two real crystal lattices: the graphene and diamond structures of carbon.

The multiscale coupled governing equations are first derived based on a multiscale partition, which consists of a coarse scale component represented by meshfree approximation, and a fine scale component to be resolved from molecular dynamics. It is noted that the coarse scale representation is present in the entire domain of the problem, and coexists with the fine scale representation in the enriched region. Using the projection properties of the partition, the decoupled non-linear set of equations are obtained and solved iteratively using Newton''s method. In this multiscale analysis, a virtual atom cluster (VAC) model is also proposed in the coarse scale treatment. This model does not involve a stress update scheme employing the Cauchy–Born hypothesis, which has been widely used in the crystal elasticity theory. Finally, to approximate a curved surface at the nanoscale, meshfree approximations are introduced to interpolate a single layer of atoms. Unlike traditional shell or continuum elements, the geometric constraint is only imposed in two dimensions. The high order continuity property of the meshfree shape functions guarantees an accurate description of the geometry and thus the energy of the atomic bond. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are illustrated in the post-buckling analysis of carbon nanotube structures. To our knowledge, this is the first multiscale post-buckling analysis presented for such a nanoscale system.

In order to take into account dislocation nucleation under different boundary conditions and their effects on the stress–strain relationship, two limiting constraints were used to both high angle and low angle grain boundaries: fixed end on all sides and free ends on all sides. Stress–strain curves were then compared under these two boundary conditions for three cases: single crystal, high angle grain boundary arrays, and low angle grain boundary arrays. In each of the three cases, loading was reversed at different strain levels after yield and Bauschinger effects were examined on all the scenarios. The simulation results were also compared with macroscopic mechanics ideas for both high angle and low angle grain boundaries. The Bauschinger effect was found to be the largest for the case of high angle boundaries and the lowest for the single crystal.

By calculating vertical excitation energies of typical molecules, it was found that LC-TDDFT gives accurate excitation energies, within an error of 0.5 eV, and reasonable oscillator strengths, while TDDFT employing a pure functional provides 1.5 eV lower excitation energies and two orders of magnitude lower oscillator strengths for the Rydberg excitations. It was also found that LC-TDDFT clearly reproduces the correct asymptotic behavior of the charge-transfer excitation energy of ethylene–tetrafluoroethylene dimer for the long intramolecular distance, unlike a conventional far-nucleus asymptotic correction scheme. It is, therefore, presumed that poor TDDFT results for pure functionals may be due to their lack of a long-range orbital–orbital interaction.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Where possible, these states were identified by comparison with results of a calculation based on multichannel quantum defect theory. Symmetry and angular momentum constraints link the observed ionic rotational states to particular values of the orbital angular momentum of the Rydberg electron, l, and to the partial-wave composition of the ejected electron. In particular, this connection allows an unambiguous determination of the even or odd character of the partial waves and provides a test of the predicted character of the autoionizing resonances. The effects of l mixing induced by the nonspherical nature of the ionic field are plainly evident in the ion distributions. The present results also allow a tentative assignment of some resonances to the previously unidentified np Rydberg states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The path integral formalism of Feynman was used to account for the quantum mechanical behavior of both the liquid and the vapor. A replica-data parallel algorithm was implemented to achieve good parallel performance of the simulation code on at least 32 processors. We have computed the surface tension and the vapor–liquid phase diagram of pure hydrogen over the temperature range 18–30 K and pure deuterium from 19 to 34 K. The simulation results for surface tension and vapor–liquid orthobaric densities are in very good agreement with experimental data. We have computed the interfacial properties of hydrogen–deuterium mixtures over the entire concentration range at 20.4 and 24 K. The calculated equilibrium compositions of the mixtures are in excellent agreement with experimental data. The computed mixture surface tension shows negative deviations from ideal solution behavior, in agreement with experimental data and predictions from Prigogine’s theory. The magnitude of the deviations at 20.4 K are substantially larger from simulations and from theory than from experiments. We conclude that the experimentally measured mixture surface tension values are systematically too high. Analysis of the concentration profiles in the interfacial region shows that the nonideal behavior can be described entirely by segregation of H2 to the interface, indicating that H2 acts as a surfactant in H2–D2 mixtures. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The calculated results indicate that the pyrrole monomer structures and a previously proposed dimer structure do not have an absorption in the visible region (λ > ~400 nm and < ~700 nm), whereas a novel type of pyrrole dimer structure has absorptions (λ = ~400 to 420 nm) in the visible region if the methyl (CH3) groups on the pyrrole rings are oxidized to CHO groups. The calculated results for the oxidized pyrrole dimer models for cross-linked proteins are consistent with all of the available experimental data for the chromogenic and neurotoxic effects of 2,5-HD. Our results strongly support the conclusion that the chromogenic effects of aliphatic γ-diketones are closely related to their neurotoxic effects and further predict that both the chromogenic and neurotoxic effects are associated with the same chemical reaction process. Such a reaction process most likely starts from the formation of the pyrrole-protein adducts followed by dimerization and further oxidization.

Based on the random phase approximation, the iPP/PE interaction parameter, χ, was obtained, and used to construct the iPP/PE phase diagram. The χ values reported in this study are lower than the χ values for deuterium-labeled moieties, measured by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The predicted phase diagram has upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior with a critical temperature of 143 °C for the molecular weights used in this study. OM was used to locate cloud points and the results are consistent with the predicted phase diagram. Since iPP melts above the critical point, care was taken to distinguish phase separation from iPP crystallization by studying the kinetics of iPP crystallization, and the iPP crystallization was discerned from dewetting. In PE-rich blends, the iPP crystallization was suppressed and no dewetting was observed.

Toward this end, we have combined molecular dynamics simulations and experimental studies employing dynamic mechanical analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Our results suggest that the polymer–silica contact distance and the mobility of interfacial polymer chains significantly decreased as the hydration level at the interface was reduced. The reduced mobility of the PDMS chains in the interfacial domain reduced the overall, bulk, motional properties of the polymer, thus causing an effective ‘stiffening’ of the polymer matrix. The role of the long-ranged Coulombic interactions on the structural features and chain dynamics of the polymer were also examined. Both are found to be strongly influenced by the electrostatic interactions as identified by the bond orientation time correlation function, local density distribution and radial distribution functions. These results have important implications for the design and life performance behavior of nanocomposite silica–siloxane materials.

The diffusion coefficients of spherical penetrants were measured for different size penetrants as the angle constraints were varied. The scaling of the diffusion coefficient with penetrant size varies as a function of chain stiffness from liquid-like behavior to polymeric behavior. Free volume distributions were calculated from both simulation and PRISM theory. It is found that free volume distributions and mean void size are constant with chain stiffness although the diffusion coefficient changes by a factor of two. This suggests that while free volume is necessary for diffusion to occur, binary collisions and chain relaxation also play a role in determining penetrant diffusion. The relative contributions of these factors to the diffusion coefficient may change as a function of chain stiffness.

The 7-TA repeat allele has been associated with elevated serum bilirubin levels that cause a mild hyperbilirubinemia (Gilbert’s syndrome). Studies suggest that promoter transcriptional activity of UGT1A1 is inversely related to the number of TA repeats, and that unconjugated bilirubin concentration increases directly with the number of TA repeat elements. Because bilirubin is a known antioxidant, we hypothesized that UGT1A1 repeats associated with higher bilirubin may be protective against oxidative damage. We examined the effect of UGT1A1 genotype on somatic mutant frequency in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) gene in human lymphocytes and the glycophorin A (GPA) gene of red blood cells (both N0, NN mutants), and the frequency of lymphocyte micronuclei (both kinetochore (K)-positive or micronuclei K-negative) in 101 healthy smoking and nonsmoking individuals. As hypothesized, genotypes containing 7- and 8-TA displayed marginally lower GPA_NN mutant frequency relative to 5/5, 5/6, 6/6 genotypes (P<0.05). In contrast, our analysis showed that lower expressing UGT1A1 alleles (7- and 8-TA) were associated with modestly increased HPRT mutation frequency (P<0.05), while the same low-expression genotypes were not significantly associated with micronuclei frequencies (K-positive or K-negative) when compared to high-expression genotypes (5- and 6-TA). We found weak evidence that UGT1A1 genotypes containing 7- and 8-TA were associated with increased GPA_NØ mutant frequency relative to 5/5, 5/6, 6/6 genotypes (P<0.05). These data suggest that UGT1A1 genotype may modulate somatic mutation of some types, in some cell lineages, by a mechanism not involving bilirubin antioxidant activity. More detailed studies examining UGT1A1 promoter variation, oxidant/antioxidant balance and genetic damage will be needed.

Epitaxial BST was prepared on SrRuO3 (SRO)/SrTiO3 (STO), whereas polycrystalline BST was deposited on SRO/SiOx/Si. After the Pt top electrode deposition, we have measured the dielectric response and leakage current characteristics before and after annealing in forming gas (6% hydrogen/94% argon) at 450 °C for 1 h. Even though both samples have the same capacitor architecture, Pt/BST/SRO, the degree of degradation after annealing in forming gas was found to be quite different. Epitaxial BST films were highly immune to hydrogen degradation; however, polycrystalline BST films degraded severely in terms of both dielectric and electrical properties. We show that the grain boundary is one of the main sources of hydrogen-induced degradation.

A triangular lattice photonic crystal is formed by dry etching into the top GaN layer. Light absorption from the metal contact is minimized because the top GaN layers are engineered to provide lateral current spreading, allowing carrier recombination proximal to the photonic crystal yet displaced from the metal contact. The chosen lattice spacing for the photonic crystal causes Bragg scattering of guided modes out of the LED, increasing the extraction efficiency. The far-field radiation patterns of the PXLEDs are heavily modified and display increased radiance, up to ∼1.5 times brighter compared to similar LEDs without the photonic crystal.

At a defect generation corresponding to 0.2 displacements per atom, the enthalpy surpasses the level of melt-quenched SiC, the density decreases by about 15%, and the radial distribution function shows a lack of long-range order. Prior to amorphization, the surviving defects are mainly C Frenkel pairs (67%), but Si Frenkel pairs (18%) and antisite defects (15%) are also present. The results indicate that SiC can be amorphized by C sublattice displacements. Chemical short-range disorder, arising mainly from Frenkel pair production, plays a significant role in the amorphization.

It is well-known that ordinary weak-coupling perturbation theory breaks down due to intermediate singular propagators. Various pragmatic approaches have been developed to deal with this difficulty. In this paper we construct an effective field theory for resonant processes utilizing the hierarchy of scales between the mass of the unstable particle, M, and its width, Γ. The effective theory allows calculations to be systematically arranged into a series in g2 and Γ/M, and preserves gauge invariance in every step. We demonstrate the applicability of this method by calculating explicitly the inclusive line shape of a scalar resonance in an Abelian gauge-Yukawa model at next-to-leading order in Γ/M and the weak couplings. We also discuss the extension to next-to-next-to-leading order and compute an interesting subset of these corrections.

The film was approximately 5 nm thick and did not produce a LEED pattern. The adsorption and reaction of CO and C2H4 adsorbed on Rh supported on the PrOX film were studied by TPD and SXPS. The CO initially reacted with oxygen in the substrate to produce CO2. After this oxygen was removed, the CO adsorbed non-dissociatively in a manner similar to what is seen on Rh(1 1 1). C2H4 adsorbed on the Rh particles and underwent progressive dehydrogenation to produce H2 during TPD. The C from the C2H4 reacted with the O in PrOX to produce CO. CO dissociation on the Rh particles could be promoted by reducing the PrOX with C2H4 before CO exposure. The CO dissociation occurred over a narrow range of Pr reduction and occurred only at high degrees of reduction. No CO dissociation was seen for films with a Pr3+ content of up to 50%. Extensive treatment in C2H4 poisoned subsequent CO adsorption due to the build-up of C on the Rh particles.

No deprotonation of hydroxyl radicals was observed on the sub-nanosecond time scale, even in 1–10 M KOH solutions. This result is completely at odds with the kinetic data for deprotonation of OH radical in dilute alkaline solutions. We suggest that the deprotonation of hydroxyl radical is slowed down dramatically in concentrated alkaline solutions.

The suppression is rendered by active means, i.e., by introducing the additional acoustic sources called controls that generate the appropriate anti-sound. Previously, we have obtained general solutions for active controls in both continuous and discrete formulation of the problem. We have also obtained optimal solutions that minimize the L1 or L2 norm of the control sources; the physical interpretation of the former being the overall absolute acoustic source strength.In the current paper, we minimize the power required for the operation of the active control system. It turns out that the corresponding analysis necessarily involves interaction between the sources of sound and the surrounding acoustic field, which was not the case for either L1 or L2. Even though it may first seem counterintuitive, one can build a control system (a particular combination of surface monopoles and dipoles) that would require no power input for operation and would even produce a net power gain while providing the exact noise cancellation. This usually comes at the expense of having the original sources of noise produce even more energy.

By applying this algorithm, we conduct numerical simulations of Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities in spherical geometry for axisymmetric flow. We demonstrate scaling invariance with respect to shock Mach number for fluid mixing statistics, such as growth rate and volume fraction. Here the mixing is related to bulk transport rather than molecular mixing. Our results are validated by convergence under both mesh refinement and statistical ensemble averaging. We also show that the spherical geometry will converge to planar geometry when the number of modes of interface perturbation goes to infinity.

Numerical results shed light on the evolution of the Muon Collider target proposed as a pulsed jet of mercury interacting with high intensity proton beams in a strong magnetic field. We have shown that a uniform longitudinal magnetic field significantly reduces amplitudes and velocities of surface instabilities and is able to stabilize the jet during period of time typical for the jet breakup at zero magnetic field. We have developed a simple homogeneous two-phase equation of state for modeling of liquids with cavitation bubbles and applied it to the study of the evolution of mercury due to the interaction with proton pulses.

The two single runaways move in almost opposite directions with a velocity greater than 100 km s-1 away from the Trapezium cluster. The star τ Orionis is an eccentric (e = 0.8) binary moving with a velocity of about 10 km s-1 at almost right angles with respect to the two single stars. The kinematic properties of the system suggest that a strong dynamical encounter occurred in the Trapezium cluster about 2.5 Myr ago. Curiously enough, the two binary components have similar spectral type but very different masses, indicating that their ages must be quite different. This observation leads to the hypothesis that an exchange interaction occurred in which an older star was swapped into the original τ Orionis binary. We test this hypothesis by a combination of numerical and theoretical techniques, using N-body simulations to constrain the dynamical encounter, binary evolution calculations to constrain the high orbital eccentricity of τ Orionis and stellar evolution calculations to constrain the age discrepancy of the two binary components. We find that an encounter between two low eccentricity (0.4 ≤ e ≤ 0.6) binaries with comparable binding energy, leading to an exchange and the ionization of the wider binary, provides a reasonable solution to this problem.

But a molecular-scale description of its hydration state, and hence also its transport, in water is currently controversial. The statistical mechanical quasichemical theory of solutions suggests that HO·(H2O]3- is the predominant species in the aqueous phase under standard conditions. This result agrees with recent spectroscopic studies on hydroxide water clusters and with the available thermodynamic hydration free energies. In contrast a recent ab initio molecular dynamics simulation has suggested that HO·(H2O]4- is the only dominant aqueous solution species. We apply adiabatic ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and find good agreement with both the quasichemical theoretical predictions and experimental results. The present results suggest a picture that is simpler, more traditional, but with additional subtlety. These coordination structures are labile but the tricoordinate species is the prominent case. This conclusion is unaltered with changes in the electronic density functional. No evidence is found for rate-determining activated interconversion of a HO·(H2O]4- trap structure to HO·(H2O]3- mediating hydroxide transport. The view of HO- diffusion as the hopping of a proton hole has substantial validity, the rate depending largely on the dynamic disorder of the water hydrogen-bond network.

Here we explore the use of dynamic bipartite graphs to model the physical contact patterns that result from movements of individuals between specific locations. The graphs are generated by large-scale individual-based urban traffic simulations built on actual census, land-use and population-mobility data. We find that the contact network among people is a strongly connected small-world-like graph with a well-defined scale for the degree distribution. However, the locations graph is scale-free, which allows highly efficient outbreak detection by placing sensors in the hubs of the locations network. Within this large-scale simulation framework, we then analyse the relative merits of several proposed mitigation strategies for smallpox spread. Our results suggest that outbreaks can be contained by a strategy of targeted vaccination combined with early detection without resorting to mass vaccination of a population.

These venting hydrocarbons fuel extensive micro- and macrofaunal cold seep communities. Of particular interest is the relationship between anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria. It has been suggested that sulfate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation dominates carbon oxidation and attendant authigenic carbonate precipitation at these sites. To test this assumption, we have quantified the relative contributions of dissolved carbon dioxide (ΣCO2) from a variety of sources—specifically seawater, organic matter, methane, and non-methane liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons—using the carbon isotope compositions of authigenic carbonates and a simple isotopic mass balance. Our model, and a small but representative suite of data from the Gulf, demonstrates that methane is a contributor but is not the dominant source of metabolic energy at the sites of active venting. Instead, oxidation of non-methane hydrocarbons appears to be the primary source of carbonate alkalinity. The secondary role played by methane oxidation has been independently recognized by other workers from organic biomarker relationships and from disparities observed between measured rates of sulfate reduction and methane oxidation. Despite the domination of the carbon reservoir by non-methane sources, oxygen isotope data for the authigenic carbonates bear the mark of appreciable gas hydrate dissociation. This study, rather than being an exhaustive survey of Gulf of Mexico seeps, is intended only to provide a template for the investigation of the abundant authigenic carbonate deposits distributed throughout the geologic record. As in the Gulf of Mexico, many modern and ancient cold seeps are characterized by a complex interplay of carbon sources readily preserved in the δ13C values of carbonates.

It has funded the development of tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) power systems operating at up to 60% efficiency on natural gas. The remarkable environmental performance of these fuel cells makes them likely candidates to help mitigate pollution. DOE is now pursuing more widely applicable solid oxide fuel cells for 2010 and beyond. DOE estimates that a 5 kW solid oxide fuel cell system can reach $400 per kW at reasonable manufacturing volumes. SECA—the Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance—was formed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to accelerate the commercial readiness of planar and other solid oxide fuel cell systems utilizing 3–10 kW size modules by taking advantage of the projected economies of production from a “mass customization” approach. In addition, if the modular 3–10 kW size units can be “ganged” or “scaled-up” to larger sizes with no increase in cost, then commercial, microgrid, and other distributed generation markets will become attainable. Further scale-up and hybridization of SECA SOFCs with gas turbines could result in penetration of the bulk power market.

SN - 16182642 AB - Direct measurement of tritium atoms by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) enables rapid low-activity tritium measurements from milligram-sized samples and permits greater ease of sample collection, faster throughput, and increased spatial and/or temporal resolution. Because existing methodologies for quantifying tritium have some significant limitations, the development of tritium AMS has allowed improvements in reconstructing tritium exposure concentrations from environmental measurements and provides an important additional tool in assessing the temporal and spatial distribution of chronic exposure. Tritium exposure reconstructions using AMS were previously demonstrated for a tree growing on known levels of tritiated water and for trees exposed to atmospheric releases of tritiated water vapor. In these analyses, tritium levels were measured from milligram-sized samples with sample preparation times of a few days. Hundreds of samples were analyzed within a few months of sample collection and resulted in the reconstruction of spatial and temporal exposure from tritium releases. Although the current quantification limit of tritium AMS is not adequate to determine natural environmental variations in tritium concentrations, it is expected to be sufficient for studies assessing possible health effects from chronic environmental tritium exposure.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 76 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2773 EP - 2779 SN - 00032700 AB - A series of N-alkyl aza-18-crown-6 ethers were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. These monoaza-substituted crown ethers in ionic liquids were investigated as recyclable extractants for separation of Sr2+ and Cs+ from aqueous solutions. The pH-sensitive complexation capability of these ligands allows for a facile stripping process to be developed so that both macrocyclic ligands and ionic liquids can be reused. The extraction efficiencies and selectivities of these monoaza-subslituted crown ethers for Na+, K+, Cs+, and Sr2+ were studied in comparison to those of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 under the same conditions. The extraction selectivity order for dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 in the ionic liquids investigated here was K+ ≫ Sr2+ > Cs+ > Na+. The extraction selectivity order for N-alkyl aza-18-crown-6, in which the alkyl group is varied systematically from ethyl to n-dodecyl, was Sr2+ Gt; K+ > Cs+ > Na+ in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfony1]amide and K+ > Sr2+ > Cs+ > Na+ in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyll)sulfonyl] amide and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide. The strong dependence of selectivity on the type of ionic liquid indicates an important role played by solvation in solvent extraction processes based on ionic liquids. The optimization of macrocyclic ligands and ionic liquids led to an extraction system that is highly selective toward Sr2+.

Ablation of the target materials was carried out both in vacuum (10-4 Pa) and at set pressures in a number of background gases. The results of this work indicate that short laser pulses (low picoseconds/femtoseconds) alone are not enough to guarantee the production of films with stoichiometries matching those of the target materials. The production of stoichiometric alloy films depends on the similarity of the vapor pressures of the target constituents, while the production of stoichiometric compound films requires ablation in the presence of a background gas and compound constituents of comparable mass.

T1 - Rat cytochrome P450C24 (CYP24A1) and the role of F249 in substrate binding and catalytic activity JO - Archives of Biochemistry & Biophysics JF - Archives of Biochemistry & Biophysics Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 425 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 133 SN - 00039861 AB - A high level of functional recombinant rat cytochrome P450C24 enzyme (CYP24A1) was obtained (40–50 mg/L) using an Escherichia coli expression system. Purified enzyme was stable with retention of spectral and catalytic activity. The rate of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] side-chain oxidation and cleavage to the end-product calcitroic acid was directly related to the rate of electron transfer from the ferredoxin redox partner. It was determined from substrate-induced spectral shifts that the 1α- and 25-hydroxyl groups on vitamin D3 metabolites and analogs were the major determinants for high-affinity binding to CYP24A1. Lowest Kd values were obtained for 1α-vitamin D3 (0.06 μM) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (0.05 μM) whereas unmodified parental vitamin D3 and the non-secosteroid 25-hydroxycholesterol had lower affinities with Kd values of 1.3 and 1.9 μM, respectively. The lowest binding affinity for natural vitamin D metabolites was observed for 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3] (0.43 μM). Kinetic analyses of the two natural substrates 25-hyroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] revealed similar Km values (0.35 and 0.38 μM, respectively), however, the turnover number was higher for 25(OH)D3 compared to 1,25(OH)2D3 (4.2 and 1 min−1, respectively). Mutagenesis of F249 within the F-helix of CYP24A1 altered substrate binding and metabolism. Most notable, the hydrophobic to polar mutant F249T had a strong impact on lowering substrate-binding affinity and catalysis of the final C23 oxidation sequence from 24,25,26,27-tetranor-1,23-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to calcitroic acid. Two other hydrophobic 249 mutants (F249A and F249Y) also lowered substrate binding and expressed metabolic abnormalities that included the C23-oxidation defect observed with mutant F249T plus a similar defect involving an earlier pathway action for the C24 oxidation of 1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3. Therefore, Phe-249 within the F-helix was demonstrated to have an important role in properly binding and aligning substrate in the CYP24A1 active site for C23 and C24 oxidation reactions.

Two replicate experiments were conducted with 20 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a 50-m3 room finished with painted wallboard, carpet and cushion, draperies and furnishings. The VOCs span a wide volatility range and include ten hazardous air pollutants. VOCs were introduced to the static chamber as a pulse and their gas-phase concentrations were measured during a net adsorption period and a subsequent net desorption period. Three sorption models were fit to the measured concentrations for each compound to determine the simplest formulation needed to adequately describe the observed behavior. Sorption parameter values were determined by fitting the models to adsorption period data then checked by comparing measured and predicted behavior during desorption. The adequacy of each model was evaluated using a goodness of fit parameter calculated for each period.Results indicate that sorption usually does not greatly affect indoor concentrations of methyl-tert-butyl ether, 2-butanone, isoprene and benzene. In contrast, sorption appears to be a relevant indoor process for many of the VOCs studied, including C8–C10 aromatic hydrocarbons (HC), terpenes, and pyridine. These compounds sorbed at rates close to typical residential air change rates and exhibited substantial sorptive partitioning at equilibrium. Polycyclic aromatic HCs, aromatic alcohols, ethenylpyridine and nicotine initially adsorbed to surfaces at rates of 1.5–>6 h−1 and partitioned 95–>99% in the sorbed phase at equilibrium.

The primary goal of the study is to better define the Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) reference values for Hf isotopes. Except for one sample with lower Sm/Nd, the Sm–Nd data define a cluster around the accepted reference values for chondrites and terrestrial planets, giving a mean 147Sm/144Nd of 0.1960±0.0005, and a mean 143Nd/144Nd of 0.512631±0.000010 (uncertainties are two standard errors). It seems appropriate to retain the presently accepted Sm–Nd reference parameters, 147Sm/144Nd=0.1966 and 143Nd/144Nd=0.512638 (when fractionation-corrected to 146Nd/144Nd=0.7219).Lu–Hf isotopic data are not clustered, but spread along an approximate 4.5-Ga isochron trend, with a range of 176Lu/177Hf from 0.0301 to 0.0354. The data are similar to many of the samples of chondrites presented by Bizzarro et al. [Nature 421 (2003) 931], but lack the range to lower Lu/Hf shown by those authors. Our chondrite data define a regression line of 4.44±0.34 Ga when 1.867×10−11 year−1 is used for the decay constant of 176Lu [Science 293 (2001) 683; Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 219 (2004) 311–324]. Combining our data with the main population of analyses from Bizzarro et al. [Nature 421 (2003) 931] yields 4.51±0.24 Ga. Unless samples of eucrite meteorites and deviating replicates of chondrites with 176Lu/177Hf less than 0.030 are employed, no combination of the main population of chondrite Lu–Hf data yields a regression with sufficiently low error to constrain the decay constant of 176Lu. Sample heterogeneity seems to hinder the acquisition of reproducible Lu–Hf analyses from small, manually ground pieces of chondrites, and we suggest that analysis of powders prepared from large volumes of meteorite will be needed to adequately characterize the Lu–Hf isotope systematics of chondritic reservoirs and of BSE. Our results for carbonaceous chondrites show higher average 176Lu/177Hf and 176Hf/177Hf than ordinary chondrites, and the mean of carbonaceous chondrites also coincides with replicate analyses of a powder representing a large volume of meteorite, the Allende powder from the Smithsonian Institution. Use of the carbonaceous chondrite mean for BSE Lu–Hf characteristics results in a BSE Hf–Nd point that lies well within the array of terrestrial compositions, and leads to plausible initial ϵHf values for Precambrian rocks. An improved objective resolution of meteorite data and of meteoritic models for the Earth needs to occur before BSE can be established for Lu–Hf.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2792 EP - 2801 SN - 0013936X AB - Soils that have been acutely contaminated by heavy metals show distinct characteristics, such as colonization by metal-tolerant plant species and topsoil enrichment in weakly degraded plant debris, because biodegradation processes are strongly inhibited by contamination. Such an organic topsoil, located downwind of an active zinc smelter and extremely rich in Zn (∼2%, dry weight), was investigated by X-ray diffraction, synchrotron-based X-ray microfluorescence, and powder- and micro-extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy for Zn speciation and by isotopic dilution for Zn lability. EXAFS spectra recorded on size fractions and on selected spots of thin sections were analyzed by principal component analysis and linear combination fits. Although Zn primary minerals (franklinite, sphalerite, and willemite) are still present (∼15% of total Zn) in the bulk soil, Zn was found to be predominantly speciated as Zn-organic matter complexes (∼45%), outer-sphere complexes (∼20%), Zn-sorbed phosphate (∼10%), and Zn-sorbed iron oxyhydroxides (∼10%). The bioaccumulated Zn fraction is likely complexed to soil organic matter after the plants' death. The proportion of labile Zn ranges from 54 to 92%, depending on the soil fraction, in agreement with the high proportion of organically bound Zn. Oespite its marked lability, Zn seems to be retained in the topsoil thanks to the huge content of organic matter, which confersto this horizon a high sorption capacity. The speciation of Zn in this organic soil horizon is compared with that found in other types of soils.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 38 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2822 EP - 2828 SN - 0013936X AB - Contamination of vadose zone sediments under tank BX-102 at the Hanford site, Washington, resulted from the accidental release of 1-8 metric tons of uranium dissolved in caustic aqueous sludge in 1951. We have applied synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopic and diffraction techniques to characterize the speciation of uranium in samples of these contaminated sediments. U LIII-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopic studies demonstrate that uranium occurs predominantly as a uranium-(VI) silicate from the uranophane group of minerals. XAFS cannot distinguish between the members of this mineral group due to the near identical local coordination environments of uranium in these phases. However, these phases differ crystallographically, and can be distinguished using X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. As the concentration of uranium was too low for conventional XRD to detect these phases, X-ray microdiffraction (μXRD) was used to collect diffraction patterns on ∼20 μm diameter areas of localized high uranium concentration found using microscanning X-ray fluorescence (μSXRF). Only sodium boltwoodite, Na(UO2)(SiO3OH)-1.5H2O, was observed; no other uranophane group minerals were present Sodium boltwoodite formation has effectively sequestered uranium in these sediments under the current geochemical and hydrologic conditions. Attempts to remediate the uranium contamination will likely face significant difficulties because of the speciation and distribution of uranium in the sediments.

A kinematic range defined by cuts on the photon virtuality, Q2 > 120 GeV2, and on the Bjorken scaling variable, x > 10-3, has been investigated. The QCD-instanton induced events were modelled by the Monte Carlo generator QCDINS. A background-independent, conservative 95% confidence level upper limit for the instanton cross section of 26 pb is obtained, to be compared with the theoretically expected value of 8.9 pb.

Between two crossed polarizers, regions modified by the femtosecond laser show bright transmission with respect to the dark background of the isotropic glass. This observation immediately suggests that these regions possess optical birefringence. The angular dependence of transmission through the laser-modified region is consistent with that of an optically birefringent material. Experimental results indicate that the optical axes of laser-induced birefringence can be controlled by the polarization direction of the femtosecond laser. The amount of laser-induced birefringence depends on the pulse energy level and number of accumulated pulses.

Results reveal the formation of near-continuous tracks propagating throughout the entire∼ 1.5-µ m-thick GaN film. These tracks,∼ 100Å in diameter, exhibit a large degree of structural disordering but do not appear to be amorphous. Throughout the bombarded epilayer, high-resolution TEM reveals planar defects which are parallel to the basal plane of the GaN film. The gross level of lattice disorder, as measured by RBS/C, gradually increases with increasing ion fluence up to∼ 10 13 cm-2. Based on these results, physical mechanisms of the formation of lattice disorder in GaN in such a high electronic stopping power regime are discussed.

Further analysis reveals that a decrease in x in this system is accompanied by the formation of octahedral/Ni 2+, which, in the case of spinel compositions Ni 1-x Co x O 4/3 (x 0.67 to 1.0), results in substitution of Co 3+ into tetrahedral sites and/or the redistribution of charge around some of the oxygen ions. The proposed transition region explains the observed break in continuity, at around x 0.5, in the previously reported resistivity data for nickel cobalt oxide films.

The deflagration of TNT causes the cantilever to bend (due to released heat) and its resonance frequency to shift (due to mass unloading). Explosive vapors provide unique responses that are absent for" interferences" such as water or alcohol vapors. The proposed sensor makes possible a sensitive, miniature explosives detection device that may be deployed in large numbers. The minimum amount of TNT detected on the cantilever depends on the cantilever dimensions and was≈ 50 pg for the batch of cantilevers used.

T1 - Nitrous oxide decomposition and surface oxygen formation on Fe-ZSM-5 JO - Journal of Catalysis JF - Journal of Catalysis Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 224 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 148 SN - 00219517 AB - An investigation was conducted of the decomposition of N2O over Fe-ZSM-5. The zeolite used in this study was prepared with Fe and Al in the framework and is designated as Fe/Al-MFI (Si/Al=84 and Fe/Al=0.38). The as-prepared material was then calcined to remove the templating agent and pretreated at temperatures up to 1123 K. EXAFS characterization of the pretreated catalyst indicates that Fe is present as isolated Fe cations at cation-exhchange sites associated with framework Al. Above 548 K, N2O decomposes stoichiometrically to N2 and O2, but below 548 K, N2O decomposes to adsorbed oxygen and gas-phase N2. Surface oxygen loadings are in the range of O/Fetotal=0.10–0.14. For the stoichiometric decomposition of N2O to N2 and O2, the calculated values of the apparent activation energy and the preexponential factor are 44.2 kcal/mol and 9.9×108 mol N2O/(s mol Fetotal Pa N2O), respectively. The first step in the overall decomposition sequence is the dissociative adsorption of N2O to produce N2 and an adsorbed O atom. The activation energy for this step is 16.8 kcal/mol and the preexponential factor is 1.4×101 mol N2O/(s mol Fetotal Pa N2O). The desorption of O2 from iron sites occurs with an apparent activation energy of 45.7 kcal/mol and a preexponential factor of 8.9×1012 mol O2/(s mol Fetotal).

The heats of mixing and Flory x parameters were computed from MD simulations of both blends using a united atom model. The x parameters from the simulations were estimated from the structure factors using the random phase approximation in analogy with neutron scattering (SANS) experiments. MD simulations for syndiotactic hhPP/PIB predicted a lower critical solution temperature with a x parameter in very good agreement with SANS experiments on the atactic hhPP/PIB blend. MD simulations also predicted that the isotactic PP/PIB blend was immiscible at high molecular weight in qualitative agreement with cloud point measurements on atactic PP/PIB.

Well-resolved PES spectra were obtained, yielding structural, electronic, and vibrational information about both the anionic and neutral clusters. Experimental evidence was observed for the coexistence of two isomers for CrC2-, CrC3-, CrC4- and CrC6-. Sham and well-resolved PES spectra were observed for CrCn- (n = 4,6,8), whereas broad spectra were observed for CrC5- and CrC7-. Extensive DFT calculations using the generalized gradient approximation were carried out for the ground and low-lying excited states of all the CrCn- and CrCn- species, as well as coupled-cluster calculations for CrC2- and CrC2. Theoretical electron affinities and vertical detachment energies were calculated and compared with the experimental data to help the assignment of the ground states and obtain structural information. We found that CrC2- and CrC3- each possess a close-lying cyclic and linear structure, which were both populated experimentally. For the larger CrCn-, clusters with n =4, 6, 8, linear structures are the overwhelming favorite, giving rise to the sharp PES spectral features. CrC7- was found to have a cyclic structure. The broad PES spectra of CrC5- suggested a cyclic structure, whereas the DFT results predicted a linear one.

The collisions are treated at the same level of sophistication and detail as is used to deal with the time- and space-dependent electric fields in the trap. As a result, microscopic definitions are obtained for the damping and stochastic forces that originate from such collisions. These definitions contrast with corresponding phenomenological terms added ad hoc in previous treatments to create damped Mathieu and Langevin equations, respectively. Furthermore, the theory indicates that either collisional cooling or heating of the ions is possible, depending upon details of the ion-neutral mass ratios and interaction potential. The kinetic theory is not dependent on any special assumptions about the electric field strengths, the ion-neutral interaction potentials, or the ion-neutral mass ratio. It also provides an ab initio way to describe the ion kinetic energies, temperatures, and other properties by a series of successive approximations.

Since the population of the vapor phase is dominated by monomers at reasonable supersaturations, the formation of clusters is governed by monomer association and dissociation reactions. Although there is no intrinsic barrier in the interaction potential along the minimum energy path the the association process, the formation of a cluster is impeded by a free energy harrier. Dynamical nucleation theory provides a framework in which equilibrium evaporation rate constants can he calculated and the corresponding condensation rate constants determined from detailed balance.

In spite of the differing M ions, these compounds have very similar Fermi surfaces. We observe four distinct Shubnikov–de Haas frequencies, corresponding to four Fermi-surface pockets; the frequencies exhibit the additive relationship expected for a compensated semimetal. The compounds show paramagnetic behaviour and no superconductivity down to 0.5 K, in contrast to other materials of the same family with different solvent molecules.

At the level crossing we observed an onset of local fields but no anomaly in the relaxation rate. Also a small effect of the spin topology was observed by means of 1H NMR.

However, dense packing of the small bits is limited by the domain wall roughness. Here we demonstrate that a correlated (line) defect directs and deroughens a field-driven wall, bringing it to a halt in the defect''s vicinity. Scaling analysis of reduced jaggedness points to a simple way to control nanodomains for recording media.

CO2 is entrapped within the SWNTs by acid oxidation of the unpurified sample followed by vacuum heating to 700 K. The trapped CO2 has a single ν3 mode at 2327 cm-1, is stable during temperature cycling from 77 to 700 K, and remains after venting to room air. CO2 physisorption studies show a ν3 mode at 2330 cm-1 for the as-received HiPco samples, 2340 cm-1 for the acid-oxidized sample, and 2327 and 2340 cm-1 for the oxidized sample after vacuum heating. The sites responsible for the infrared peaks of the physisorbed and trapped species are discussed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 108 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 6197 EP - 6207 SN - 15206106 AB - Pulsed laser vaporization has been used to produce nanooctahedra of MoS2 and MoSe2. The nanooctahedra primarily form in two- or three-layer nested octahedra, although nesting up to five layers has been observed. Tilting the TEM sample stage and mapping how the images of single particles transformed provided the evidence to verify their octahedral geometry. Analysis of 30 two- and three-layered octahedra showed that their outer edge lengths clustered at ~3.8 nm and ~5.1 nm, respectively. This discreet sizing and the high symmetry of these closed nanooctahedra represent the closest inorganic analogy yet to the carbon fullerenes. The geometrical implications for forming octahedra from these layered compounds are investigated by considering different atomic arrangements assuming either trigonal prismatic or octahedral coordination around the Mo atom and yields two possible configurations for the actual structure of the nanooctahedra. A preliminary survey of pulsed laser vaporization of other layered metal chalcogenides shows that these dichalcogenides differ in their tendency to form small closed layered fullerene-like structures. These materials can be ranked from highest tendency to lowest as follows: NbSe2, WS2, WSe2, SnS2, TaS2, GaS, ReS2, and MoTe2.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 108 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 6228 EP - 6232 SN - 15206106 AB - Many chemical systems of interest consist of sets of reactions that contain iterated sequences that elongate a molecular chain. For example, such sets of reactions are commonly found in the transcription of DNA or the translation of RNA. However, there are competitive reactions that can prematurely terminate the chain-elongation process. A hidden Markov method appropriate for modeling chains of reactions with competitive processes (i.e., premature chain termination) is developed. The method is an extension of a hidden Markov model suggested by Gibson and Bruck (J. Phys. Chem. A 2000, 104, 1876). The equivalence between results using this method and results from simulation of a system employing the full set of reactions will be demonstrated (Gillespie, D. T. Markov Processes: An Introduction for Physical Scientists; Academic: San Diego, CA, 1992). Examples of its use are shown for several test problems. As an example of a practical application, a comparison among results for a model of terminal modification of ligand-aggregated receptors (Hlavacek, W.; Redondo, A.; Wofsy, C.; Goldstein, B. Bull. Math. Biol. 2002, 64, 887) simulated by ordinary differential equations, the full set of reactions, and the hidden Markov method are shown.

T1 - High-Pressure Ammonia Adsorption and Dissociation on Clean Fe(111) and Oxygen-Precovered Fe(111) Studied by Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/05/15/ VL - 108 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 6374 EP - 6380 SN - 15206106 AB - The adsorption of gases N2, H2, O2, and NH3 that play a role in ammonia synthesis have been studied on the Fe(111) crystal surface by Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy using an integrated ultrahigh vacuum/high-pressure system. SFG spectra are presented for the dissociation intermediates, NH2 (~3325 cm-1) and NH (~3235 cm-1) under high pressure of ammonia (200 Torr) on the clean Fe(111) surface. Addition of 0.5 Torr of oxygen to 200 Torr of ammonia does not significantly change the bonding of dissociation intermediates to the surface. However, it leads to a phase change of nearly 180° between the resonant and nonresonant second-order nonlinear susceptibility of the surface, demonstrated as a reversal of the SFG spectral features. Heating the surface in the presence of 200 Torr of ammonia and 0.5 Torr of oxygen reduces the oxygen coverage, which can be seen from the SFG spectra as another relative phase change of 180°. The reduction of the oxide is also supported by Auger electron spectroscopy. The result suggests that the phase change of the spectral features could serve as a sensitive indicator of the chemical environment of the adsorbates. Clean Fe(111) is found to have a large SFG nonresonant signal. The magnitude of the nonresonant signal was dependent on the adsorption species; O2 and N2 decrease, while H2 and NH3 increase the SFG nonresonant signal. The change in nonresonant signal is correlated to the change in work function for Fe(111) upon adsorption. Adsorption-induced changes in the SFG nonresonant signal was used as an indicator of surface conditions and to monitor surface reactions.

Analysis of viral kinetics suggests that antibody mediates sterilizing immunity by its effects on the initial viral inoculum. By contrast, reduction in peak viral load later in infection prevents CD4 depletion and contributes to long-term viral control.

The primary investigation method used in this study was high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), coupled with image processing and image simulation. After 1 h of aging, the presence of super-lattice reflections was detected in the Fourier spectra of the HRTEM images, suggesting an L10 type ordering of Mg and Cu atoms in the Al matrix. After 4 and 8 h of aging, coherent particles were observed in the microstructure. These particles give rise to diffraction spots that in previous literature have been considered to be characteristic of the S″-phase in the “Cu-lean” Al–Mg–Cu alloys. It is shown that these diffraction spots can be indexed in terms of a crystal structure that is closely related to the L10 ordering formed at the shorter aging times. The crystal structure is orthorhombic with lattice parameters a=1.2 nm, b=0.4 nm, c=0.4 nm and space group Cmmm. We propose to identify these coherent particles as GPB-II zones, and the ordering that precedes them as GPB zones.

This same disinfectant is baselined for eventual deployment in the US water recovery system planned for node 3 of the International Space Station (ISS). With C-SPE, the I2 concentration is determined from the diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS) of the yellow iodine–poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) complex using the Kubelka–Munk function. However, the solution chemistry of iodine is very complex and results in a variety of inorganic species (e.g., I−, I2, I3−, HOI) that have very different biocidal capabilities. Thus, the nature of the interaction of iodine with PVP, and more specifically, the identity of the iodine species involved in the interaction, requires more elucidation. This paper reports the findings from a series of detailed experiments conducted to elicit a more complete understanding of the iodine–PVP system employed in C-SPE. The results indicate that I2, one of the two dominant biocidal forms of iodine, is the species responsible for the analytical signal in our C-SPE platform. These findings lay the ground work for the planned development of a multiplexed iodine determination and speciation platform for in-flight analysis of spacecraft water samples.

These measurements were enabled by the fabrication of multiple Ti/Au ohmic contacts on individual fibers that exhibited resistance of only a few kilohms. These measurements demonstrate that VACNFs exhibit linear I-V behavior at room temperature, with a resistivity of approximately 4.2 × 10-3 Ω cm. Our measurements are consistent with a dominant transport mechanism of electrons traveling through intergraphitic planes in the VACNFs.

Our results show that outer layers of ∼10-50 µm thick are present in all samples. The structure of those outer layers is different from that of the inside of the crystals, by having much greater (rhombohedral) distortions. With increasing x, rhombohedral-type lattice distortions develop, both in the outer layer and on the inside.

The Mn L3,3 x-ray absorption spectra of the untreated films show a strong multiplet structure, consistent with earlier observations and characteristic of MnO. After removal of the surface layer, the multiplet structure is less pronounced and the spectrum is shifted to ∼0.5 eV lower photon energy. Comparison with calculated spectra imply a localized Mn ground state for the untreated sample and a hybridized ground state after etching. In addition, a large x-ray magnetic circular dichroism is observed at the Mn L3,2 edge in the etched film. These results may explain several peculiarities of previously reported x-ray absorption studies from (Ga,Mn)As.

The VACNFs are composed of graphite layers nearly parallel to the substrate at their bottom end, gradually formed graphite "cups" in the main body, and a catalyst particle on the tip. The formation of such structure is due to the corresponding transformation of the shape of the catalyst particle during initial VACNF growth. A model for their initial growth is proposed.

The as-grown SrRuO3 epitaxial films exhibit atomically flat surfaces with single unit-cell steps, even after exposure to air at room temperature. The films remain stable at temperatures as high as 720 °C in moderate oxygen ambients (> 1 mTorr), but higher temperature anneals at lower pressures result in the formation of islands and pits due to the decomposition of SrRuO3. Using in situ RHEED, a temperature and oxygen pressure stability map was determined, consistent with a thermally activated decomposition process having an activation energy of 88 kJ/mol. The results can be used to determine the proper conditions for growth of additional epitaxial oxide layers on high quality electrically conducting SrRuO3.

The isostructural compounds ζ2-GaFe and ζ2-GaCr have been refined using X-ray powder diffraction as well as neutron powder diffraction for ζ2-GaFe. Their structures have been refined using the space group R&3oline;m, with cell parameters a = 12.625(8) Å and c = 7.785(10) Å for ζ2-GaCr and a = 12.4368(11) Å and c = 7.7642(10) Å for ζ2-GaFe. Band structure calculations using the self-consistent, spin-polarized TB-LMTO method were performed to understand their electronic structure and magnetic properties. Band calculations show that from GaCr to GaFe the magnetic interactions change from weakly antiferromagnetic coupling to ferromagnetic coupling. Magnetic measurements confirm ferromagnetism for GaFe and show a weak paramagnetic response for GaCr.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/05/18/ VL - 43 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5629 EP - 5636 SN - 00062960 AB - It has been widely accepted that cAMP activates the protein kinase A (PKA) holoenzyme by dissociating the regulatory and catalytic subunits, thus freeing the catalytic subunit to phosphorylate its targets. However, recent experiments suggest that cAMP does not fully dissociate the holoenzyme. Here, we investigate this mechanism further by using small-angle X-ray scattering to study, at physiological enzyme concentrations, the type Iα and type IIβ holoenzyme structures under equilibrium solution conditions without any labeling of the protein subunits. We observe that while the addition of a molar excess of cAMP to the type Iα PKA holoenzyme causes partial dissociation, it is only upon addition of a PKA peptide substrate together with cAMP that full dissociation occurs. Similarly, addition of excess cAMP to the type IIβ holoenzyme causes only a partial dissociation. However, while the addition of peptide substrate as well as excess cAMP causes somewhat more dissociation, a significant percentage of intact type IIβ enzyme remains. These results confirm that both the type Iα and the type IIβ holoenzymes are more stable in the presence of cAMP than previously thought. They also demonstrate that substrate plays a differential role in the activation of type I versus type II holoenzymes, which could explain some important functional differences between PKA isoforms. On the basis of these data and other recently published data, we propose a structural model of type I holoenzyme activation by cAMP.

To understand how differences in amino add sequence lead to differences in the response to Ca2+ binding, comparative analyses of sequence and structures, combined with model building, were used to develop hypotheses about which amino add residues control Ca2+-induced conformational changes. These results were used to generate a first design of calbindornodulin (CBM-1), a calbindin D9k re-engineered with 15 mutations to respond to Ca2+ binding with a conformational change similar to that of calmodulin. The gene for CBM-1 was synthesized, and the protein was expressed and purified. Remarkably, this protein did not exhibit any non-native-like molten globule properties despite the large number of mutations and the nonconservative nature of some of them. Ca2+-induced changes in CD intensity and in the binding of the hydrophobic probe, ANS, implied that CBM-1 does undergo Ca2+ sensorlike conformational changes. The X-ray crystal structure of Ca2+-CBM-1 determined at 1.44 Å resolution reveals the anticipated increase in hydrophobic surface area relative to the wild-type protein. A nascent calmodulin-like hydrophobic docking surface was also found, though it is occluded by the inter-EF-hand loop. The results from this first calbindomodulin design are discussed in terms of progress toward understanding the relationships between amino acid sequence, protein structure, and protein function for EF-hand CaBPs, as well as the additional mutations for the next CBM design.

All of the time discretizations are based on the θ-method, but differ in their treatment of the implicit nonlinear terms. One method converges the implicit nonlinear terms to a small tolerance and is often referred to as nonlinearly consistent (NC). Newton''s method, or its approximation Newton–Krylov, is used to converge the nonlinearities. The other methods considered are linearized and comparisons are made for a relaxation problem and a radiation diffusion problem. The linearized one-step method that uses the full Jacobian is shown to have similar accuracy as NC methods. The lagged linearization method and an extension that is second-order accurate are also studied. A truncation error analysis complements the numerical results. For the relaxation problem, it is shown that each of the second-order accurate linearized methods may be more accurate than an NC method, depending on the degree of nonlinearity in the problem. For the radiation diffusion problem, in general the NC method is most accurate and allows a larger time step. However, the linearized methods perform surprisingly well.

The inverted elements may result from node movement in Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) simulations of continuum mechanics problems with large shear deformation such as fluid flow and metal forming. Meshes with inverted elements may also be created due to the limitations of mesh generation algorithms particularly for non-simplicial mesh generation. The untangling procedure uses a combination of direct node placement based on geometric computation of the feasible set, and node repositioning driven by numerical optimization of an objective function that achieves its minimum on a valid mesh. It is shown that a combination of the feasible set, based method and the optimization method achieves the best results in untangling complex 2D meshes. Preliminary results are also presented for untangling of 3D unstructured meshes by the same approach.

The present study represents the first attempt of applying the extended Kalman filter (EKF) method of data assimilation to shock-wave dynamics induced by a high-speed impact. EKF solves the full nonlinear state evolution and estimates its associated error-covariance matrix in time. The state variables obtained by the blending of past model evolution with currently available data, along with their associated minimized errors (or uncertainties), are then used as initial conditions for further prediction until the next time at which data becomes available.In this study, a one-dimensional (1D) finite-difference code is used along with data measured from a 1D flyer plate experiment. An ensemble simulation suggests that the nonlinearity of the modeled system can be reasonably tracked by EKF. The results demonstrate that the EKF assimilation of a limited amount of pressure data, measured at the middle of the target plate alone, helps track the evolution of all the state variables. The fidelity of EKF is further investigated with numerically generated synthetic data from so-called “identical-twin experiments”, in which the true state is known and various measurement techniques and strategies can be made easily simulated. We find that the EKF method can effectively assimilate the density fields, which are distributed sparsely in time to mimic radiographic data, into the modeled system.

In particular, the problem where the threshold is unnaturally small and the cross section at low energy is unnaturally large is considered. It is shown that the lowest-order point coupling associated with the mixing of the channels scales as Λ−2 rather than Λ−1 (the scaling of the same-channel coupling and the scaling in a single-channel case) where Λ is the ultraviolet cutoff. The renormalization of the theory at lowest order is given explicitly. The treatment of higher orders is straightforward. The potential implications for systems with deep open channels are discussed.

At 100 K both atomic and molecular chlorine species are present on the surface; adsorption at 300 K or annealing the adlayer at 100 K to this temperature generates adsorbed Cl atoms. As the surface is heated from 300 to 600 K, chlorine atoms diffuse below the surface, as demonstrated by attenuation of the Cl2p signals in TPXPS experiments. Quantitative analysis of the extent of attenuation is consistent with chlorine diffusion below the topmost silver layer. For coverages in the monolayer and sub-monolayer regime, chlorine diffusion to and from the bulk appears not to be significant, in contrast to previous results obtained at higher chlorine loadings. Chlorine is removed from the surface at 650–780 K by desorption as AgCl. These results demonstrate that chlorine diffusion beneath the surface does occur at coverages and temperatures relevant to olefin epoxidation processes carried out on silver catalysts with chlorine promoters. The surface sensitivity advantages of synchrotron-based XPS experiments were critical to observing Cl diffusion to the sub-surface at low coverages.

One of the most abundant of these amines, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), induces breast, colon and prostate tumors in rats. Human dietary epidemiology studies suggest a strong correlation between either meat consumption or well-done muscle meat consumption and cancers of the colon, breast, stomach, lung and esophagus. For over 20 years our laboratory has helped define the human exposure to these dietary carcinogens. In this report we describe how various environmental exposures may modulate the risk from exposure to heterocyclic amines, especially PhIP. To assess the impact of foods on PhIP metabolism in humans, we developed an LC/MS/MS method to analyze the four major PhIP urinary metabolites following the consumption of a single portion of grilled chicken. Adding broccoli to the volunteers’ diet altered the kinetics of PhIP metabolism. At the cellular level we have found that PhIP itself stimulates a significant estrogenic response in MCF-7 cells, but even more interestingly, co-incubation of the cells with herbal teas appear to enhance the response. Numerous environmental chemicals found in food or the atmosphere can impact the exposure, metabolism, and cell proliferation response of heterocyclic amines.

The protein forms an intertwined homodimer by exchanging N-terminal segments between chains. We have identified additional conserved elements of the Nudix fold, including the metal-binding motif, a kinked β-strand characterized by a proline two positions upstream of the Nudix consensus sequence, and participation of the N-terminal extension in the formation of the substrate-binding pocket. Crystal structures were also solved of DR1025 crystallized in the presence of magnesium and either a GTP analog or Ap4A (both at 1.6 A˚ resolution). In the Ap4A co-crystal, the electron density indicated that the product of asymmetric hydrolysis, ATP, was bound to the enzyme. The GTP analog bound structure showed that GTP was bound almost identically as ATP. Neither nucleoside triphosphate was further cleaved.

The model follows the dynamics of a viral infection and the stimulation, proliferation, and differentiation of naı¨ve CD8+ T cells into effector CTL, which can eliminate virally infected cells. The model is capable of following the dynamics of multiple T cell clones, each with a T cell receptor represented by a digit string. MHC–viral peptide complexes are also represented by strings and a string match rule is used to compute the affinity of a T cell receptor for a viral epitope. The avidities of interactions are also computed by taking into consideration the density of MHC–viral peptides on the surface of an infected cell. Lastly, the model allows the probability of T cell stimulation to depend on avidity but also incorporates the notion of an antigen-independent programmed proliferative response. We compare the model to experimental data on the cytotoxic T cell response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infections.

It is necessary to have homogeneous distributions of small gold nanoparticles with diameters between 2 and 5 nm for excellent catalytic activities. In this study, gold-containing mesoporous silica materials were prepared by a co-synthesis method. The essence of this sol–gel co-synthesis method is to combine together neutral surfactant template synthesis of mesoporous silica materials with the introduction of metal ions via bifunctional silane ligands, so that the formation of mesostructures and metal–ion doping occur simultaneously. The formation of gold nanoparticles with size less than 5 nm inside mesoporous materials (HMS, MSU, and PMO) has been achieved by this co-synthesis sol–gel process. In addition, the effects of post-treatments, such as calcination and reduction, on pore structures and nanoparticle size distributions were also investigated.

T1 - Telomere Shortening Triggers Senescence of Human Cells through a Pathway Involving ATM, p53, and p21CIP1, but Not p16INK4a JO - Molecular Cell JF - Molecular Cell Y1 - 2004/05/21/ VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 501 EP - 513 SN - 10972765 AB - Cellular senescence can be triggered by telomere shortening as well as a variety of stresses and signaling imbalances. We used multiparameter single-cell detection methods to investigate upstream signaling pathways and ensuing cell cycle checkpoint responses in human fibroblasts. Telomeric foci containing multiple DNA damage response factors were assembled in a subset of senescent cells and signaled through ATM to p53, upregulating p21 and causing G1 phase arrest. Inhibition of ATM expression or activity resulted in cell cycle reentry, indicating that stable arrest requires continuous signaling. ATR kinase appears to play a minor role in normal cells but in the absence of ATM elicited a delayed G2 phase arrest. These pathways do not affect expression of p16, which was upregulated in a telomere- and DNA damage-independent manner in a subset of cells. Distinct senescence programs can thus progress in parallel, resulting in mosaic cultures as well as individual cells responding to multiple signals.

It exists as an inactive complex with its inhibitor ICAD/DFF45 in proliferating cells but becomes activated upon cleavage of ICAD/DFF45 into three domains by caspases in dying cells. The molecular mechanism underlying the control and activation of CAD/DFF40 was unknown. Here, the crystal structure of activated CAD/DFF40 reveals that it is a pair of molecular scissors with a deep active-site crevice that appears ideal for distinguishing internucleosomal DNA from nucleosomal DNA. Ensuing studies show that ICAD/DFF45 sequesters the nonfunctional CAD/DFF40 monomer and is also able to disassemble the functional CAD/DFF40 dimer. This capacity requires the involvement of the middle domain of ICAD/DFF45, which by itself cannot remain bound to CAD/DFF40 due to low binding affinity for the enzyme. Thus, the consequence of the caspase-cleavage of ICAD/DFF45 is a self-assembly of CAD/DFF40 into the active dimer.

The Rare Isotope Accelerator or comparable facilities will be able to produce radioactive ion beams up to 1012 particles/s and would therefore be a suitable place for (n,γ) studies on radioactive isotopes with half-lives between days and months. We propose a facility for measurements of (n,γ) cross-sections of unstable isotopes in the keV range suited for minimal sample masses down to 1015 atoms, corresponding to minimum half-lives of only 10 d.

The electric fields between the electrodes of a 3D detector are parallel to its surface, and for a given applied bias, stronger than those found in a planar device of equivalent dimensions. We have investigated the spatial response of a first generation 3D detector using a synchrotron X-ray microbeam as a probe. The microbeam was of cross-section ∼10 μm, commensurate with the dimensions of the electrode structures. The detector showed excellent charge collection, as verified by the energy spectra acquired at various probe positions. Variations in the energy spectra provided a sensitive indicator of the charge splitting that inevitably occurs at the boundaries between adjacent pixel cells, and for measuring the expected loss of sensitivity at the 3D electrodes themselves.

We describe two new methods for the study of this close-track efficiency. One is based on the study of a correlation function for particles with different masses as a function of their relative momenta in the laboratory reference system. The other method is based on the analysis of artificial events, constructed by merging raw data from separate events. Both methods and the standard Monte Carlo method were applied to data from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. All three methods provide the same result for close-track efficiency with an accuracy sufficient for practical application.

In NCC, each detected neutron opens two coincidence gates and counts the number of neutrons that arrive within the allotted time period of the first neutron. Similarly, previous results for studying the alarm rate of a broadband radio-frequency collection system (to detect the radio-frequency emitted from nuclear explosions or lightning for example) are shown to lead to poor approximations for some parameter ranges. In a typical example of this type of system, the master trigger could alarm if five or more of eight sub-bands alarm within a specified time window beginning from an alarm from one or more sub-bands.We describe a simple but powerful statistical result involving conditional variance that corrects the previous results in both applications, and we demonstrate the adequacy of the results using real and simulated NCC data and simulated broadband radio-frequency data.

The amounts of shifts and splittings depend on the value of Φ/Φ[sub0] and are quantitatively consistent with theories based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect These results represent evidence of the influence of the Aharonov-Bohm phase on the band gap of a solid.

Threshold production can be exploited for measurements of the selectron and smuon masses, an essential ingredient for the reconstruction of the fundamental supersymmetric theory at high scales. The production of selectrons in the continuum will allow us to determine the Yukawa couplings in the selectron sector, scrutinizing the identity of the Yukawa and gauge couplings, which is a basic consequence of supersymmetry. The theoretical predictions are elaborated at the one-loop level in the continuum, while at threshold non-zero width effects and Sommerfeld rescattering corrections are included. The phenomenological analyses are performed for e + e- and e-e- linear colliders with energy up to about 1 TeV and with high integrated luminosity up to 1 ab-1 to cover the individual slepton channels separately with high precision.

He will be sorely missed by his many friends and colleagues, and by the greater scientific community. Pople was a teacher and a scientific inspiration. Everyone has aspired to emulate his objective, systematic, and insightful approach to science, which is briefly elaborated here. Within quantum chemistry, John Pople distinguished himself by defining and exploring what he termed theoretical model chemistries. In his Nobel address, Professor Pople outlined the quintessential steps in creating a model chemistry— to identify target accuracy, precisely formulate a general mathematical procedure, implement it as an efficient computational algorithm, thoroughly and systematically test the model, and apply the model objectively to chemical problems.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/05/22/ VL - 120 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 9638 EP - 9647 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Glass structure and fluorine motion dynamics are investigated in lead-cadmium fluorgermanate glasses by means of differential scanning calorimetry, Raman scattering, x-ray absorption (EXAFS), electrical conductivity (EC), and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Glasses with composition 60PbGeO3-xPbF2-yCdF2 (in mol%), with x+y=40 and x=10, 20, 30, 40, are studied. Addition of metal fluorides to the base PbGeO3 glass leads to a decrease of the glass transition temperature (Tg) and to an enhancement of the ionic conductivity properties. Raman and EXAFS data analysis suggest that metagermanate chains form the basic structural feature of these glasses. The NMR study leads to the conclusion that the F-F distances are similar to those found in pure crystalline phases. Experimental results suggest the existence of a heterogeneous glass structure at the molecular scale, which can be described by fluorine rich regions permeating the metagermanate chains. The temperature dependence of the NMR line shapes and relaxation times exhibits the qualitative and quantitative features associated with the high fluorine mobility in these systems.

Using a simple model for charge, dispersion and dipole-related contributions to the interprotein potential, we calculate phase diagrams for protein solutions within the framework of second-order perturbation theory. For each phase, we determine the Helmholtz energy as the sum of a hard-sphere reference term and a perturbation term that reflects both the electrostatic and dispersion interactions. Dipolar effects can induce fluid-fluid phase separation or crystallization even in the absence of any significant dispersion attraction. Because dissolved electrolytes screen the charge-charge repulsion more strongly than the dipolar attraction, the ionic strength dependence of the potential of mean force can feature a minimum at intermediate ionic strengths offering an explanation for the observed nonmonotonic dependence of the phase behavior on salt concentration. Inclusion of correlations between charge-dipole and dipole-dipole interactions is essential for a reliable calculation of phase diagrams for systems containing charged dipolar proteins and colloids.

The spatial size of the Fe2+ atom is analyzed with respect to different spin states, and it is shown that the ion size decreases with increasing spin state for the d6 electronic configuration. This contradicts the common belief that the iron out-of-plane location in the quintet state of ligated Fe(II)-porphyrins is due to an increased required space of the iron within the porphyrin ring. Therefore, the singlet, triplet, and quintet ground states of imidazole-ligated iron-porphyrin have been calculated employing density functional theory, and the relevant molecular orbitals have been analyzed. Additional comparison with the unligated iron-porphyrin molecules reveals that the enhanced doming in the quintet state is the result of a combination of the weakening of the iron-ring nitrogen bonds by occupying antibonding orbitals and the repulsion between the imidazole ligand and the porphyrin ring.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/05/22/ VL - 108 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 4737 EP - 4743 SN - 10895639 AB - The initial steps in the reduction of Ag+ ions by H2 to produce metallic silver nanoparticles in silver cation-exchanged type A zeolite has been investigated in a novel way using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) to follow the reaction. The rotational tunneling excitations of the hydrogen adsorbed at low temperature were measured. The neutron scattering spectra show rotational tunneling peaks from the librational ground states of the adsorbed hydrogen. A transition at 0.3 meV is the lowest energy excitation ever observed for hydrogen adsorbed in a zeolite, and is characteristic of a σ-bond complex between a metal center and molecular hydrogen. The transition is assigned to a chemisorption complex between molecular hydrogen and the Ag32+ linear complex cation that has been proposed in X-ray diffraction studies of dehydrated Ag-A. Rotational tunneling peaks from H2 molecules physisorbed on individual Ag+ ions located at different sites in the zeolite are also observed. Warming the sample allows the reduction reaction to proceed, causing the rotational tunneling peaks to decrease and disappear irreversibly. New INS features appear that are attributed to H2 physisorbed on neutral Ag clusters. The results clearly demonstrate that the first step in the reduction of the silver is the formation of an intermediate [Ag32+···H2] complex rather than a dissociative adsorption of hydrogen, and that the reduction reaction proceeds via this complex.

The FMR spectrum displays a single absorption line in the whole temperature range measured for both H∥(111) and H⊥(111). With decreasing temperature, the line with H∥(111) shifts to lower fields, while that with H⊥(111) shifts to higher fields. By superposing all the FMR spectra measured in different directions at 110 K, a double-peak is obtained, which clarifies the origin of the FMR double-peak in polycrystalline sample. By taking account of magnetic anisotropy and demagnetizing effect, the orientation dependence of resonance field is well fitted. It is found that the magnetic anisotropy strengthens with decreasing temperature; however, it has no evident influence on transport and colossal magnetoresistance behavior.

Changes in the structure induced by annealing were characterized in terms of chemical composition, chemical bonding, and concentrations of defects and trapped impurities. The creation of intericosahedral chains for higher annealing temperatures was revealed by infrared and Raman measurements, and the intensity of the infrared band at 1500 cm-1 was found to be related to the hardness. The presence of residual trapped Ar atoms and of open-volume defects is insensitive to relatively high annealing temperatures and does not influence the recovery of the hardness. Our results suggest postdeposition annealing as a pathway to enhance the mechanical properties of boron carbide films. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

An external cavity with a diffractive grating is used to reduce the linewidth of the laser from over 5 nm to less than 0.1 nm. The wavelength of the pulsed laser is tunable over more than 10 nm.

We have devised a theoretical model that accounts for the fundamental role of dynamic nanoparticles in nanofluids. The model not only captures the concentration and temperature-dependent conductivity, but also predicts strongly size-dependent conductivity. Furthermore, we have discovered a fundamental difference between solid/solid composites and solid/liquid suspensions in size-dependent conductivity. This understanding could lead to design of nanoengineered next-generation coolants with industrial and biomedical applications in high-heat-flux cooling. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Our earlier results showed that the Curie temperature TC depends on the growth sequence of the epitaxial layers. A lower TC was found in heterostructures in which the Ga1-xMnxAs layer is grown after the modulation-doped barrier. Here, we provide direct evidence that this reduction in TC is directly correlated with an increased formation of magnetically inactive Mn interstitials. The formation of interstitials is induced by a shift of the Fermi energy as a result of the transfer of holes from the barrier to the quantum well during the growth. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This feature and the appearance of additional new variables such as pulse duty cycle can lead to new, flexible, sometimes enabling processes for surface modification and thin film deposition, as discussed for plasma immersion ion processing, high power pulsed sputtering, thin film deposition with pulsed cathodic arcs and metal plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition. In all of these processes, transient sheaths are of great importance. The fundamentals of plasma sheaths are briefly reviewed. It is argued that the often-considered ion matrix sheath is only an educational case, whereas most realistic transient sheaths obey a time-dependent Child law. The recovery of pulsed sheaths is usually less considered than the formation of sheaths. If the pulse fall time normalized by the inverse ion plasma frequency is much greater than unity, sheath collapse can be simply described by a retreating Child law sheath. In the opposite case, electrons refill the ion space charge and complete recovery of the boundary layer is determined by ambipolar diffusion from the bulk plasma. The case of high power pulsed sputtering is discussed in greater detail, especially the appearance of a kink in the current–voltage characteristic, which changes its slope for current densities exceeding approximately 600 mA/cm2. It is suggested that high pulse power opens the possibility that self-sputtering can occur during each pulse, especially for target materials of high sputter yield. The necessary condition for self-sputtering is αβγ>1, where α, β and γ are the ionization probability, ion return probability and sputter yield, respectively.

The fiber texture was determined by orientation imaging microscopy to be 〈1 0 0〉 for the Al and 〈1 0 0〉 for the Sn. The Sn phase deformed into a convoluted ribbon shape; a microstructure which has usually been attributed to texture of the filaments constraining their deformation to plane strain. Texture in a Sn filament deforming at room temperature is unlikely to limit Sn to a plane straining mode, which suggests that a different mechanism may be producing the ribbon-shape of these filaments. The 290 MPa ultimate tensile strength of the composite was greater than the rule-of-mixtures prediction. Comparisons are made with Al–Nb, Al–Ti and Al–Mg deformation processed metal–metal composites and to various strengthening models for metal–metal composites.

The images are reconstructed from NMR signals generated by nuclear spins that precess in a static magnetic field B0 in the presence of magnetic field gradients. Most clinical MRI scanners operate at a magnetic field B0 = 1.5 T, corresponding to a proton resonance frequency of 64 MHz. Because these systems rely on large superconducting magnets, they are costly and demanding of infrastructure. On the other hand, low-field imagers have the potential to be less expensive, less confining, and more mobile. The major obstacle is the intrinsically low sensitivity of the low-field NMR experiment. Here, we show that prepolarization of the nuclear spins and detection with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) yield a signal that is independent of B0, allowing acquisition of high-resolution MRls in microtesla fields. Reduction of the strength of the measurement field eliminates inhomogeneous broadening of the NMR lines, resulting in enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution for a fixed strength of the magnetic field gradients used to encode the image. We present high-resolution images of phantoms and other samples and T1-weighted contrast images acquired in highly inhomogeneous magnetic fields of 132 μT; here, T1 is the spin-lattice relaxation time. These techniques could readily be adapted to existing multichannel SQUID systems used for magnetic source imaging of brain signals. Further potential applications include low-cost systems for tumor screening and imaging peripheral regions of the body.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/05/26/ VL - 126 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 6387 EP - 6401 SN - 00027863 AB - Reaction of 3 equiv of 2,6-diisopropylaniline with La[N(SiMe3)2]3 produces the dimeric species La2(NHAr)6 (1). X-ray crystallography reveals a centrosymmetric structure, where the dimeric unit is bridged by intermolecular η6-arene interactions of a unique arylamide ligand attached to an adjacent metal center. Exposure of 1 to THF results in formation of the monomeric tris-THF adduct La(NHAr)3(THF)3 (2), which was shown by X-ray crystallography to maintain a fac-octahedral structure in the solid state. ¹H NMR spectroscopy illustrates that the binding of THF to 1 to form 2 is reversible and removal of THF under vacuum regenerates dimeric 1. Addition of pyridine to 1 yields the monomeric bis-pyridine adduct La(NHAr)3(py)2 (3), which exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal La metal center. Solution 1H NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy indicate that the pi;-rene-bridged dimeric structure of 1 is maintained in solution. Variable-temperature ¹H NMR spectroscopic investigations of 1 are consistent with a monomer-dimer equilibrium at elevated temperature. In contrast, variable-temperature ¹H NMR spectroscopic investigations of the aryloxide analogue La2(OAr)6 (4) show that the bridging and terminal aryloxide groups exchange by a mechanism in which the dimeric nature of the compound is retained. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out on model compounds La2(OC6H5)6, La2(NHC6H5)6, and (C6H5R)La(XC6H5)3, where X = O or NH and R = H, OH, or NH2. The formation of η6-arene interactions is energetically favored over monomeric LaX3 (X = OPh or NHPh) with the aryloxide π-arene interaction being stronger than the arylamide π-arene interaction. Calculation of vibrational frequencies reveals the origin of the observed IA spectral behavior of both La2(OC6H5)6 and La2(NHC6H5)6, with the higher energy v(C=C) stretch due to terminal ligands and the lower energy stretch associated with the bridging ligands.

The growth process was studied using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size dispersion of each generation was determined from the SEC elution line widths and the spectral homogeneity of the elution peaks. The heterogeneous deposition of various amounts of Ag on Au nanocrystals and Au on Ag nanocrystals using the same synthetic protocol is also described. The effect of such deposition on the optical absorbance of each generation of larger clusters was measured during SEC using an on-line photodiode array absorbance detector.

In this method, one protein is immobilized on the support surface, and the other, dissolved in a buffer/electrolyte solution, flows over that surface. The retention time provides a measure of immobile/mobile protein–protein interactions. Trends in ovalbumin-lysozyme interactions suggest that they are primarily electrostatic. The identity of the electrolyte has a strong influence on the magnitude of the interaction. Assuming a potential of mean force that contains a hard sphere, electrostatic, and square-well potential, experimental results are used to fit the square-well depth. For BSA-lysozyme interactions, the square-well depth depends on which protein is immobilized on the solid phase.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/05/28/ VL - 279 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 23250 EP - 23254 SN - 00219258 AB - Homologous recombinational repair preserves chromosomal integrity by removing double-strand breaks, cross-links, and other DNA damage. In eukaryotic cells, the Rad51 paralogs (XRCC2/3, Rad51B/C/D) are involved in this process, although their exact functions are largely undetermined. All five paralogs contain ATPase motifs, and XRCC3 exists in a single complex with Rad51C. To examine the function of this Rad51C-XRCC3 complex, we generated mammalian expression vectors that produce human wild-type XRCC3 or mutant XRCC3 with either a nonconservative mutation (K113A) or a conservative mutation (K113R) in the GKT Walker A box of the ATPase motif. The three vectors were independently transfected into Xrcc3-deficient irslSF Chinese hamster ovary cells. Wild-type XRCC3 complemented irs1SF cells, albeit to varying degrees, whereas ATPase mutants had no complementing activity, even when the mutant protein was expressed at comparable levels to that in wild-type-complemented clones. Because of dysfunction of the mutants, we propose that ATP binding and hydrolyzing activities of XRCC3 are essential. We tested in vitro complex formation by wild-type and mutant XRCC3 with His6-tagged Rad51C upon co-expression in bacteria, nickel-affinity purification, and Western blotting. Wild-type and K113A mutant XRCC3 formed stable complexes with Rad51C and co-purified with Rad51C, whereas the K113R mutant did not and was predominantly insoluble. The addition of 5 mM ATP but not ADP also abolished complex formation by the wild-type proteins. These results suggest that XRCC3 probably regulates the dissociation and formation of Rad51C-XRCC3 complex through ATP binding and hydrolysis with both processes being essential for the ability of the complex to participate in homologous recombinational repair.

The crystal structure of the MMAB sequence homologue from Thermoplasma acidophilum (TA1434; GenBank™ identification number gi16082403) was determined to a resolution of 1.5 Å, TA1434 was confirmed to be an ATP:cobalamin adenosyltransferase, which depended absolutely on divalent metal ions (Mg2+ > Mn2+ > Co2+) and only used ATP or dATP as adenosyl donors. The apparent Km of TA1434 was 110 µM (kcat = 0.23 s-1) for ATP, 140 µM (kcat = 0.11 s-1) for dATP, and 3 pM (kcat = 0.18 s-1) for cobalamin. TA1434 is a trimer in solution and in the crystal structure, with each subunit composed of a five-helix bundle. The location of disease. related point mutations and other residues conserved among the homologues of TA1434 suggest that the active site lies at the junctions between the subunits. Mutations in TA1434 that correspond to the disease-related mutations resulted in proteins that were inactive for ATP:cobalamin adenosyltransferase activity in vitro, confirming that these mutations define the molecular basis of the human disease.

T1 - The Chromosome of Shigella flexneri Bacteriophage Sf6: Complete Nucleotide Sequence, Genetic Mosaicism, and DNA Packaging JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2004/05/28/ VL - 339 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 379 EP - 394 SN - 00222836 AB - Shigella flexneri temperate bacteriophage Sf6 is of interest in part because its prophage expresses the oac gene that alters the antigenic properties of the surface O-antigen polysaccharide of its host bacterium. We have determined the complete sequence of its 39,044 bp genome. The sequence shows that Sf6 is a member of the canonical lambdoid phage group, and like other phages of this type has a highly mosaic genome. It has chromosomal regions that encode proteins >80% identical with at least 15 different previously characterized lambdoid phages and prophages, but 43% of the genome, including the virion assembly genes, is homologous to the genome of one phage, HK620. An analysis of the nucleotide differences between Sf6 and HK620 indicates that even these similar regions are highly mosaic. This mosaicism suggests ways in which the virion structural proteins might interact with each other. The Sf6 early operons are arranged like a typical lambdoid phage, with “boundary sequences” often found between functional modules in the “metabolic” genome domain. By virtue of high degree of similarity in the encoding genes and their DNA target sites, we predict that the integrase, early transcription anti-terminator, CI and Cro repressors, and CII protein of Sf6 have DNA binding specificities very similar to the homologous proteins encoded by phages HK620, λ, 434 and P22, respectively. The late operon contains two tRNA genes. The Sf6 terminase genes are unusual. Analysis of in vivo initiation of the DNA packaging series showed that the Sf6 apparatus that recognizes DNA for packaging appears to cleave DNA for initiation of packaging series at many sites within a large region of about 1800 bp that includes a possible pac site. This is unlike previously characterized phage packaging mechanisms.

The dithioacetal group in (ClCOCH2S)2CHPh (2) was hydrolyzed during its reaction with amine (&z.sbnd;O)3Si(CH2)3NH2 (3) grafted on silica gel to give the mercapto ligand (&z.sbnd;O)3Si&z.sbnd;(CH2)3NHCOCH2SH (4).

Technological advances in illumination, photodiodes and amplification circuitry achieved better signal-to-noise than earlier studies revealing optical signals in axonal nerve bundles as small as crayfish ventral cord and claw. The birefringence measurements yielded signals that could be observed in single trials, with temporally separated peaks associated with axonal populations of different diameters. A slit aperture placed perpendicular to the nerve reduced the spatial-temporal integration and enhanced the temporal structure of the separate peaks in the birefringence signal. Moving the slit aperture farther from the stimulation point delayed the signal in time, and also enhanced the separation between peaks. Different propagation velocities of the separate peaks provided evidence for at least three neuronal populations in the bundle. These studies underscore the advantages of birefringence over scattering measurements. Application of birefringence methods can optimize non-invasive imaging techniques being developed to detect fast optical responses associated with electrical neural activity in humans.

The dependence of averaged halo concentrations on mass and redshift permits a simple fit of the form (1+z)c=c0(M/M0)α, with α≈-0.1 throughout. We find that the cluster concentration depends on the dark energy equation of state at the cluster formation redshift zcoll through the linear growth factor D+(zcoll). As a simple correction accounting for dark-energy cosmologies, we propose scaling c0 from ΛCDM with the ratio of linear growth factors, c0→c0D+(zcoll)/D+,ΛCDM(zcoll).

The sample of investigated clusters for which we present our results here is composed by 7 dark matter halos. Each of them was simulated in 8 different cosmological models with constant and time-variable equation of state of dark energy. For all the clusters in the sample, we have measured the lensing cross sections for producing giant arcs, i.e. arcs having a minimum length-to-width ratio. We find that the lensing cross section for giant arcs is sensitive to the equation of state of quintessence. Indeed, the optical depth, which can be translated into a number of arcs by multiplying by the correct density of source galaxy on the sky, spans more than one order of magnitude among different cosmological models.

CP violation is essential for generating the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU). Many models which propose large CP-odd mechanisms for BAU predict EDMs that exceed the limits of the most sensitive measurements. We are conducting a high sensitivity search for the electron EDM using a solid state system. It promises orders of magnitude improvement over atomic beam experiments solely from the available electron density. We present the experimental design and report on the current status.

The R value shows a strong variation with respect to applied current I, and is closely related to the amorphous-to-nanocrystalline phase transformation. The curve of R versus I allows one to control the crystallization behavior during Joule heating and to identify the heat-treatment conditions for optimum magnetic properties. A coercivity of 550 kA/m and a maximum energy product of 128 kJ/m3 have been obtained upon heating the amorphous ribbons at a current of 2.0 A. These properties are around 30% higher than the values of samples prepared by conventionally (furnace) annealed amorphous ribbons. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Activation energies for interface and oxide-trap charge densities for each device type, estimated from capacitance–voltage measurements versus temperature and electric field, lie in the range 0.2–0.4 eV. This suggests that the release of hydrogen from, e.g., oxide protrusions in Si, followed by the lateral motion of protons along the interface (activation energy ∼0.3 eV), may play a key role in NBTI. Passivation reactions between protons and Si–H can create interface traps, and proton capture by sub-oxide bonds (O vacancies) can lead to positive trapped-oxide charge. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The compound shows intrinsic inhomogeneities in the form of coexisting competing phases below a temperature Tc. Application of MFs not only eliminates the multiple phases below Tc but also significantly affects the structure above Tc. The MF-induced structural phase transition occurs abruptly at 2 K but is smooth at higher temperatures. Moreover, the MF dependence of some reflection intensities clearly indicates a complicated PS. This MF-induced homogeneity should play a key role in the colossal magnetoresistance effect. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The polymer electrolytes were formed by complexing with LiN(CF3SO2)2 electrolyte salt and exhibited superior conductive property. The σRT of the network polymer electrolytes is in the range of 2.50×10-5 to 1.62×10-4 S/cm and depends on the cross-linking density (in terms of Si–H amount of the siloxane precursor), repeating unit number of internal oligoethylene oxide and chain length of the cross-linker. The significant enhancement of the conductivity was observed when low molecular weight dimethyl poly(ethylene glycol) was added as plasticizer. The temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity was also studied, following the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher (VTF) equation.

Changes in reflection intensities induced by irradiation display a parabolic character. The most pronounced structural changes observed were disulfide-bond breakage and associated main-chain and side-chain movements as well as decarboxylation of aspartate and glutamate residues. The structural changes induced on the sulfur atoms were successfully used to obtain high-quality phase estimates via an RIP procedure. Results obtained with ACORN suggest that the contribution originating from the partial structure may play an important role in phasing even at less than atomic resolution.

JO - Acta Crystallographica: Section D (Wiley-Blackwell) JF - Acta Crystallographica: Section D (Wiley-Blackwell) Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 60 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1101 EP - 1107 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09074449 AB - High-throughput (HT) protein crystallography is severely impeded by the relatively low success rate of protein crystallization. Proteins whose structures are not solved in the HT pipeline owing to attrition in any phase of the project are referred to as the high-hanging fruit, in contrast to those proteins that yielded good-quality crystals and crystal structures, which are referred to as low-hanging fruit. It has previously been shown that proteins that do not crystallize in the wild-type form can have their surfaces engineered by site-directed mutagenesis in order to create patches of low conformational entropy that are conducive to forming intermolecular interactions. The application of this method to selected proteins from the Bacillus subtilis genome which failed to crystallize in the HT mode is now reported. In this paper, the crystal structure of the product of the YdeN gene is reported. Of three prepared double mutants, i.e. E124A/K127A, E167A/E169A and K88A/Q89A, the latter gave high-quality crystals and the crystal structure was solved by SAD at 1.8 Å resolution. The protein is a canonical α/β hydrolase, with an active site that is accessible to solvent.

The protein was expressed with a C-terminal six-histidine tag and purified to homogeneity with a cobalt-affinity column followed by size-exclusion chromatography. Both native and SeMet proteins were produced and crystallized. Complete X-ray diffraction data sets were collected from a native crystal, which diffracted to 2.3 Å resolution, and a SeMet crystal, which diffracted to 2.1 Å. The crystals were tetragonal, belonging to space group P41 or P43, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 66.2, c = 40.9 Å, α= β = γ=90°. Based on the calculated Matthews coefficient of 2.6 ų Da-1 as well as analysis of anomalous difference Patterson maps, the asymmetric unit most likely contains two molecules of CylR2.

Soil properties such as permeability, porosity, and water retention are typically estimated through the inversion of hydrological data (e.g., measurements of capillary pressure and water saturation). However, ill-posedness and non-uniqueness commonly arise in such non-linear inverse problems making their solutions elusive. Incorporating additional types of data, such as from geophysical methods, may greatly improve the success of inverse modeling. In particular, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) methods have proven sensitive to subsurface fluid flow processes and appear promising for such applications. In the present work, an inverse technique is presented which allows for the estimation of flow parameter distributions and the prediction of flow phenomena using GPR and hydrological measurements collected during a transient flow experiment. Specifically, concepts from the pilot point method were implemented in a maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework to allow for the generation of permeability distributions that are conditional to permeability point measurements, that maintain specified patterns of spatial correlation, and that are consistent with geophysical and hydrological data. The current implementation of the approach allows for additional flow parameters to be estimated concurrently if they are assumed uniform and uncorrelated with the permeability distribution. (The method itself allows for heterogeneity in these parameters to be considered, and it allows for parameters of the petrophysical and semivariogram models to be estimated as well.) Through a synthetic example, performance of the method is evaluated under various conditions, and some conclusions are made regarding the joint use of transient GPR and hydrological measurements in estimating fluid flow parameters in the vadose zone.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 574 EP - 587 SN - 02786826 AB - A dilution sampler was used to examine the effects of dilution ratio and residence time on fine-particle emissions from a pilot-scale pulverized coal combustor. Measurements include the particle size distribution from 0.003 to 2.5 μm, PM2.5 mass, and PM2.5 composition (OC/EC, major ions, and elemental). Heated filter samples were also collected simultaneously at stack temperatures in order to compare the dilution sampler measurements with standard stack sampling methodologies. Measurements were made both before and after the bag house, the particle control device used on the coal combustor, and while firing three different coal types and one coal-biomass blend. The PM2.5 mass emission rates measured using the dilution sampler agreed to within experimental uncertainty with those measured with the hot-filter sampler. Relative to the heated filter sample, dilution did increase the PM2.5 mass fraction of selenium for all fuels tested, as well as ammonium and sulfate for selected fuels. However, the additional particulate mass created by gas-to-particle conversion of these species is within the uncertainty of the gravimetric analysis used to determine the overall mass emission rate. The enrichment of PM2.5 selenium caused by dilution did not vary with dilution ratio and residence time. The enrichment of PM2.5 sulfate and ammonium varied with fuel composition and dilution ratio but not residence time. For example, ammonium was only enriched in diluted acidic aerosol samples. A comparison of the PM2.5 emission profiles for each of the fuels tested underscores how differences in PM2.5 composition are related to the fuel ash composition. When sampling after the bag house, the particle size distribution and total particle number emission rate did not depend on residence time and dilution ratio because of the much lower particle number concentrations in diluted sample and the absence of nucleation. These results provide new insight into the effects of dilution sampling on measurements of fine particle emissions, providing important data for the ongoing effort of the EPA and ASTM to define a standardized dilution sampling methodology for characterizing emissions from stationary combustion sources.

N-terminal fragments of the inducible isoforms, SAA1 and SAA2, are the major constituents of fibrils formed during secondary or reactive amyloidosis. Little is known about the structure of SAA beyond secondary structure analyses and circular dichroism spectroscopic data indicating significant alpha helix conformation. Analysis of the primary structure of human SAA indicates probable homology to the N-terminal domain of hemocyanins of arthropods and suggests that approximately 80% of the molecule may consist of a helical bundle with the remaining portion of the C-terminus potentially disordered. This model of SAA suggests that proposed binding sites for laminin, fibronectin, and calcium are segregated to one face of the molecule and that the heparin/heparan binding site is found in the putatively disordered region of the protein. It is possible that removal of the N-terminal 76 amino acid fragment by proteolytic cleavage found generates an unstable entity that undergoes a helix to beta strand transition analogous to the fibril process of A-beta and prion peptides.

Variation of laser focus and PCA are also used to diagnose the severity of elemental fractionation in two metal samples that are prone to fractionation, brass and steel.

SN - 10568700 AB - Recent work is extending the methodology of X-ray crystallography to the structure determination of noncrystalline specimens. The phase problem is solved using the oversampling method, which takes advantage of "continuous" diffraction patterns from noncrystalline specimens. Here we review the principle of this newly developed technique and discuss the ongoing experiments of imaging nonperiodic objects, such as cells and cellular structures, using coherent and bright X rays produced by third-generation synchrotron sources. In the longer run, the technique may be applicable to image single biomolecules using anticipated X-ray free electron lasers. Here, computer simulations have so far demonstrated two important steps: (a) by using an extremely intense femtosecond X-ray pulse, a diffraction pattern can be recorded from a macromolecule before radiation damage manifests itself; and (b) the phase information can be retrieved in an ab initio fashion from a set of calculated noisy diffraction patterns of single protein molecules.

The key parameters are the difference in end-to-end distance between reactant and product for thermodynamics, and the distance to the transition state for kinetics. I focus the review on experimental results on force unfolding of RNA. Methods to measure Gibbs free energies and kinetics for reversible and irreversible reactions are described. The use of the worm-like-chain model to calculate the effects of force on thermodynamics and kinetics is illustrated with simple models. The main purpose of the review is to describe the simple experiments that have been done so far, and to encourage more people to enter a field that is new and full of opportunities.

SN - 15435008 AB - Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) is now higher than it was at any time in the past 26 million years and is expected to nearly double during this century. Terrestrial plants with the C3 photosynthetic pathway respond in the short term to increased [CO2] via increased net photosynthesis and decreased transpiration. In the longer term this increase is often offset by downregulation of photosynthetic capacity. But much of what is currently known about plant responses to elevated [CO2] comes from enclosure studies, where the responses of plants may be modified by size constraints and the limited life-cycle stages that are examined. Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) was developed as a means to grow plants in the field at controlled elevation of CO2 under fully open-air field conditions. The findings of FACE experiments are quantitatively summarized via meta-analytic statistics and compared to findings from chamber studies. Although trends agree with parallel summaries of enclosure studies, important quantitative differences emerge that have important implications both for predicting the future terrestrial biosphere and understanding how crops may need to be adapted to the changed and changing atmosphere.

However, our knowledge of the geohydrology, geochemistry, geophysics, and geomechanics of CO2 disposal must be refined if this technology is to be implemented safely, efficiently, and predictably. As a prelude to a fully coupled treatment of physical and chemical effects of CO2 injection, the authors have analyzed the impact of CO2 immobilization through carbonate mineral precipitation. Batch reaction modeling of the geochemical evolution of 3 different aquifer mineral compositions in the presence of CO2 at high pressure were performed. The modeling considered the following important factors affecting CO2 sequestration: (1) the kinetics of chemical interactions between the host rock minerals and the aqueous phase, (2) CO2 solubility dependence on pressure, temperature and salinity of the system, and (3) redox processes that could be important in deep subsurface environments. The geochemical evolution under CO2 injection conditions was evaluated. In addition, changes in porosity were monitored during the simulations. Results indicate that CO2 sequestration by matrix minerals varies considerably with rock type. Under favorable conditions the amount of CO2 that may be sequestered by precipitation of secondary carbonates is comparable with and can be larger than the effect of CO2 dissolution in pore waters. The precipitation of ankerite and siderite is sensitive to the rate of reduction of Fe(III) mineral precursors such as goethite or glauconite. The accumulation of carbonates in the rock matrix leads to a considerable decrease in porosity. This in turn adversely affects permeability and fluid flow in the aquifer. The numerical experiments described here provide useful insight into sequestration mechanisms, and their controlling geochemical conditions and parameters.

We found that a hexagonal close-packed Xe film grows after a transition layer of three monoatomic layers thick is formed. The first two monolayers, influenced by both the interaction with the Nb substrate and the Xe–Xe interaction, lack long-range order. The third monolayer forms a bulk-like hexagonal close-packed structure. Subsequently a bulk-phase Xe(111) film grows in step-flow mode from 54 K down to 40 K. At 40 K, we observed a brief crossover to a layer-by-layer mode. At 33 K the growth proceeds in a kinetically limited multilayer or a three-dimensional island mode.

Precise and reliable measurements of 131mXe, 133gXe, 133mXe, and 135gXe are required as part of the International Monitoring System for compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). For the first time, simultaneous testing of four highly sensitive and automated fieldable radioxenon measurement systems has been performed and compared to established laboratory techniques. In addition to an intercomparison of radioxenon monitoring equipment of different design, this paper also presents a set of more than 2000 measurements of activity concentrations of radioactive xenon made in the city of Freiburg, Germany in 2000. The intercomparison experiment showed, that the results from the newly developed systems agree with each other and the equipment fulfills the fundamental requirements for their use in the verification regime of the CTBT. For 24-h measurements, concentrations as low as 0.1 mBq m−3 were measured for atmospheric samples ranging in size from 10 to 80 m3. The 133Xe activity concentrations detected in the ambient air ranged from below 1 mBq m−3 to above 100 mBq m−3.

The evaporation process for water has been improved by using a combination of roughening of the surface of counting planchettes, two-stage evaporation, and temperature-controlled block heating. The efficiency of the gas-proportional detector for α-particle detection in water residues was studied as a function of sample mass–thickness in the range between 0.1 and 13 mg cm−2. The effect of α energy on the efficiency, as well as moisture absorption on the samples, were studied using 230Th, 238U, 239Pu, 241Am, and 244Cm radionuclides. Also, α-to-β crosstalk was investigated as a function of sample mass for 230Th, 239Pu, 210Po, 241Am, and 244Cm. The improved method can also be applied for gross α detection in biological fluids.

JO - Archives of Disease in Childhood JF - Archives of Disease in Childhood Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 89 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 512 EP - 515 SN - 00039888 AB - Aims: To determine coeliac disease prevalence by an anti-transglutaminase antibody assay in a large paediatric population; to evaluate acceptance of the screening programme, dietary compliance, and long term health effects. Methods: Cross-sectional survey of 3188 schoolchildren (aged 6-12) and prospective follow up of diagnosed cases. Main outcome measures were: prevalence of coeliac disease defined by intestinal biopsy or positivity to both human tissue transglutaminase and anti-endomysium antibodies in HLA DQ2-8 positive subjects; percentage of children whose families accepted screening; dietary compliance as defined by negativity for anti-transglutaminase antibodies; and presence of clinical or laboratory abnormalities at 24 month follow up. Results: The families of 3188/3665 children gave their consent (87%). Thirty biopsy proven coeliacs were identified (prevalence 1:106). Three other children testing positive for both coeliac related autoantibodies and HLA DQ2-8 but refusing biopsy were considered as having coeliac disease (prevalence 1:96). Of 33 cases, 12 had coeliac related symptoms. The 30 biopsy proven coeliacs followed a gluten-free diet. Of 28 subjects completing 18-24 months follow up, 20 (71 .4%) were negative for anti-transglutaminase antibodies, while eight were slightly positive; symptoms resolved in all 12 symptomatic children. Conclusions: Prevalence of coeliac disease is high in Italian schoolchildren. Two thirds of cases were asymptomatic. Acceptance of the programme was good, us was dietary compliance. Given the high prevalence and possible complications of untreated coeliac disease, the availability of a valid screening method, and evidence of willingness to comply with dietary treatment population mass screening deserves careful consideration.

SN - 03028933 AB - Cytochrome c3 of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain G20 is an electron carrier for uranium (VI) reduction. When D. desulfuricans G20 was grown in medium containing a non-lethal concentration of uranyl acetate (1 mM), the rate at which the cells reduced U(VI) was decreased compared to cells grown in the absence of uranium. Western analysis did not detect cytochrome c3 in periplasmic extracts from cells grown in the presence of uranium. The expression of this predominant tetraheme cytochrome was not detectably altered by uranium during growth of the cells as monitored through a translational fusion of the gene encoding cytochrome c3 (cycA) to lacZ. Instead, cytochrome c3 protein was found tightly associated with insoluble U(IV), uraninite, after the periplasmic contents of cells were harvested by a pH shift. The association of cytochrome c3 with U(IV) was interpreted to be non-specific, since pure cytochrome c3 adsorbed to other insoluble metal oxides, including cupric oxide (CuO), ferric oxide (Fe2O3), and commercially available U(IV) oxide.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/06//6/1/2004 VL - 43 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 6637 EP - 6644 SN - 00062960 AB - The seven serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins (A-G) produced by Clostridium botulinum share significant sequence homology and structural similarity. The functions of their individual domains and the modes of action are also similar. However, the substrate specificity and the peptide bond cleavage selectivity of their catalytic domains are different. The reason for this unique specificity of botulinum neurotoxins is still baffling. If an inhibitor leading to a therapeutic drug common to all serotypes is to be developed, it is essential to understand the differences in their three-dimensional structures that empower them with this unique characteristic. Accordingly, high-resolution structures of all serotypes are required, and toward achieving this goal the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of C. botulinum neurotoxin type E has been determined to 2.1 Å resolution. The crystal structure of the inactive mutant Glu212→Gln of this protein has also been determined. While the overall conformation is unaltered in the active site, the position of the nucleophilic water changes in the mutant, thereby causing it to lose its ability to activate the catalytic reaction. The structure explains the importance of the nucleophilic water and the charge on Glu212. The structural differences responsible for the loss of activity of the mutant provide a common model for the catalytic pathway of Clostridium neurotoxins since Glu212 is conserved and has a similar role in all serotypes. This or a more nonconservative mutant (e.g., Glu212→Ala) could provide a novel, genetically modified protein vaccine for botulinum.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/06//6/1/2004 VL - 43 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 6772 EP - 6782 SN - 00062960 AB - Flash-probe fluorescence spectroscopy was used to compare the pH dependence of charge recombination between Yz˙ and Qa- in Mn-depleted, photosystem II membranes [PSII(-Mn)] and in membranes with the high-affinity (HAz) Mn-binding site blocked by iron [PSII(-Mn,+Fe); Semin, B. K., Ghirardi, M. L., and Seibert, M. (2002) Biochemistry 41, 5854-5864]. The apparent half-time for fluorescence decay (t½) in PSII(-Mn) increased from 9 ms at pH 4.4 to 75 ms at pH 9.0 [with an apparent pK (PKapp) of 7.1]. The actual fluorescence decay kinetics can be fit to one exponential component at pH <6.0 (t½ = 9.5 ms), but it requires an additional component at pH >6.0 (t½ = 385 ms). Similar measurements with PSII(-Mn,+Fe) membranes show that iron binding has little effect on the maximum and minimum t½ values measured at alkaline and acidic pHs but that it does shift the pKapp from 7.1 to 6.1 toward the more acidic pKapp value typical of intact membranes. Light-induced Fe(II) blocking of the PSII(-Mn) membrane is accompanied by a decrease in buffer Fe(II) concentration. This decrease was not the result of Fe(II) binding, but rather of its oxidation at two sites, the HAz site and the low-affinity site. Mössbauer spectroscopy at 80 K on PSII(-Mn,+Fe) samples, prepared under conditions providing the maximal blocking effect but minimizing the amount of nonspecifically bound iron cations, supports this conclusion since this method detected only Fe(III) cations bound to the membranes. Correlation of the kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation with the blocking parameters showed that blocking occurs after four to five Fe(II) cations were oxidized at the HAz site. In summary, the blocking of the HAz Mn-binding site by iron in PSII(-Mn) membranes not only prevents the access of exogenous donors to Yz but also partially restores the properties of the hydrogen bond net found in intact PS(II), which in turn controls the rate of electron transport to Yz.

Three hydrolysis reactions were modeled, two heterogeneous reactions for cellulose breakdown to cellobiose and glucose and one homogeneous reaction for hydrolyzing cellobiose to glucose. Cellulase adsorption onto pretreated lignocellulose was modeled via a Langmuir-type isotherm. The sugar products of cellulose hydrolysis, cellobiose and glucose, as well as xylose, the dominant sugar prevalent in most hemicellulose hydrolyzates, were assumed to competitively inhibit the enzymatic hydrolysis reactions. Model parameters were estimated from experimental data generated using dilute acid pretreated corn stover as the substrate. The model performed well in predicting cellulose hydrolysis trends at experimental conditions both inside and outside the design space used for parameter estimation and can be used for in silico process optimization.

This is accomplished by means of a two-phase cycle, an aerobic growth phase followed by an anaerobic hydrogen production phase. The effects of process variables on hydrogen production are examined here. These variables include cell concentration, light intensity, and reactor design parameters that affect light transport and mixing. An optimum cell concentration and light intensity are identified, and two reactor designs are compared. The maximum hydrogen production observed in this study was 0.29 mL of hydrogen per milliliter of suspension. This was measured at atmospheric pressure during a 96 h production cycle. This corresponds to an average hydrogen production rate of 0.12 mmol/mL·h.

Excitation of a single quantum of the antisymmetric stretching vibration is observed for mole cules with inversion symmetry, as is the bending mode. Photoelectron spectra of the N2O+(A2Π), CO2+(C2Σg+), and CS2+(B2Σu+) states obtained over a range of ionization energies exhibit contrasting behavior for the relative intensities of the forbidden vibrations. These energy-dependent vibrational branching ratios are shown to result from an intrachannel vibronic coupling mechanism. Moreover, this intrachannel coupling can be further divided into two cases, one in which the photoionization cross section is sensitive to geometry changes, and a second case in which it is not. These different cases can be distinguished by comparing the experimental and theoretical results for all three molecules. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - On discute de l'excitation des transitions vibrationnelles défendues qui accompagnent la photoionisation de molécules triatomiques linéaires. Pour les molécules avec inversion de symétrie, on observe l'excitation d'un seul quantum de vibration d'élongation antisymétrique, tel qu'observé dans le mode de déformation angulaire. Les spectres photoélectroniques des états indiqués du N2O+(A2Π), du CO2+ (C2Σg+) et du CS2+(B2Σu+), obtenus sur une large plage d'énergies d'ionisation, présentent des comportements différents pour les intensités relatives des vibrations défendues. On montre que ces rapports de branchements vibrationnels qui dépendent de l'énergie résultent d'un mécanisme de couplage vibronique entre canaux. De plus, ce couplage entre canaux peut se diviser dans deux cas, dont l'un dans lequel la section droite de photoionisation est sensible aux changements de géométrie alors que dans l'autre il ne l'est pas. On peut faire la distinction entre ces différents cas en comparant les résultats expérimentaux et théoriques pour les trois molécules.

The sensitivity of the apparatus to kinetic energy and angular distribution effects has been characterized for selected lens settings through ion trajectory simulations and experimental measurements. Three distinct modes of the added lens have been identified (focus, defocus, and maximum). The focus mode has the least sensitivity to details of the angular and ion kinetic energy distribution and, therefore, is the best mode for measuring quantitative partial ion and ion-pair yields. The defocus mode has the most sensitivity to angular and kinetic energy distributions and, therefore, is the mode that provides the most information about the kinematics of photofragmentation. Branching ratios for ion and ion-pair production in all positive ion fragmentation channels were recorded from 280 to 330 eV (C 1s) and from 520 to 570 eV (O 1s) in the "focus" mode. Quantitative oscillator strengths were derived by combining these branching ratios with absolute total ion yield spectra. The results are compared to literature values.

Utilisant des simulations de trajectoires ioniques et des mesures expérimentales, on a caractérisé la sensibilité de l'appareil à l'énergie cinétique et aux effets de distribution angulaire pour divers ajustements choisis des lentilles. On a identifié trois modes distincts de lentilles ajoutées (focalisation, défocalisation et maximum). Le mode de focalisation est le moins sensible aux détails de la distribution de l'énergie angulaire et cinétique des ions et est donc le meilleur mode pour la mesure quantitative des rendements ioniques partiels et de paires d'ions. Le mode de défocalisation est le plus sensible aux distributions de l'énergie angulaire et cinétique et est donc le mode qui fournit le plus d'information concernant la cinématique de la photofragmentation. Les rapports de bifurcation dans la production de l'ion et de la paire d'ions dans les voies de fragmentation de tous les ions positifs ont été enregistrés de 280 à 330 eV (C 1s) et de 520 à 570 eV (O 1s) dans le mode de " focalisation ". On a dérivé les forces quantitatives de l'oscillateur en combinant ces rapports de bifurcation au spectre de rendement ionique total absolu.

Two approaches were used to prepare the silica-supported catalysts utilizing complexing triamine ligands which resulted in mesoporous silica with wormhole and hexagonal structures. The use of triamine ligands is the key for the formation of uniformly sized 2–3 nm Au nanoparticles in the silica pores. On mesoporous titania, high gold dispersions were obtained without the need of a functional ligand. Au supported on titania exhibited a much higher activity for CO oxidation, even though the Au particle sizes were essentially identical on the titania and the wormhole silica supports. The results suggest that the presence of 2–3 nm particle size alone is not sufficient to achieve high activity in CO oxidation. Instead, the support may influence the activity through other possible ways including stabilization of active sub-nanometer particles, formation of active oxygen-containing reactant intermediates (such as hydroxyls or O2-), or stabilization of optimal Au structures.

The control algorithm is based on the concepts of non-Lipschitzian dynamics and global targeting. We show that (i) certain average quantities of the controlled system can be driven—exactly or approximately—towards desired targets which become linearly stable attractors for the system’s dynamics; (ii) the basins of attraction of these targets are reached in very short times; and (iii) while within reasonably broad ranges the time-scales of the control and of the intrinsic dynamics may be quite different, this disparity does not affect significantly the overall efficiency of the proposed scheme, up to natural fluctuations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

From time-windowed data sets, we use time-delay phase-space reconstruction to obtain a discrete form of the invariant distribution function on the attractor. Condition change in the system’s dynamic is quantified by dissimilarity measures of the difference between the test case and baseline distribution functions. We analyze time-serial mechanical (vibration) power data from several large motor-driven systems with accelerated failures and seeded faults. The phase-space dissimilarity measures show a higher consistency and discriminating power than traditional statistical and nonlinear measures, which warrants their use for timely forewarning of equipment failure. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Chaos JF - Chaos Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 487 EP - 498 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 10541500 AB - In this paper we explore the global dynamics of an agent-type model for bubbles in gas-fluidized beds and demonstrate that these features are consistent with experimentally observed behavior. The model accounts for the simultaneous interactions of thousands of individual bubbles and includes mass-transfer and first-order reactions between the gas and solids so that the impact of the dynamics is reflected in reactant conversion. We start with model parameters that have been demonstrated to produce time average behavior consistent with experimental reactor measurements. By observing the temporal variations of spatially averaged bubble properties, we are able to clearly distinguish the onset of global low-dimensional features that appear to be consistent with previous observations. The most prominent of these features is a large-scale oscillation that exhibits intermittency with power-law scaling in the vicinity of a critical gas flow. We show that the oscillation occurs as the result of a globally synchronized horizontal movement of the bubbles toward the center of the reactor. The oscillation appears to be consistent with the occurrence of the so-called “slugging” phenomenon, which is known to have large effects on fluidized bed reactor performance. Although this model can clearly be further improved, its success in replicating several of the key features of slugging indicates that this approach can serve as a useful tool for understanding and possibly controlling fluidized bed dynamics. We also conjecture that this model may be useful for more generally understanding the occurrence of global features in high-dimensional, multi-agent systems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The aspect ratio of the bed allowed for good visualization of the spouting and solids circulation as the spouting jet gas velocity was varied to highlight the visited bifurcation sequence. Digital video sequences were recorded and then preprocessed for numerical analysis. In this paper, the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) was applied to these data sets in order to identify and separate the dominant spatial features from the temporal evolution of the spouting dynamics. The results indicate that the overall spatiotemporal dynamics can be captured by a few POD eigenfunctions, and that the POD amplitudes can be used to distinguish between varying degrees of spouting. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Screening against the SH3 domain of human c-Src yielded six different clones. Five of these contained proline-rich sequences in their FG loop that resembled class I (i.e., +xxPxxP) peptide ligands for the Src SH3 domain. The sixth clone lacked the proline-rich sequence and showed particularly high binding specificity to the Src SH3 domain among various SH3 domains tested. Competitive binding, loop replacement, and NMR perturbation experiments were conducted to analyze the recognition properties of selected binders. The strongest binder was able to pull down full-length c-Src from murine fibroblast cell extracts, further demonstrating the potential of this scaffold for use as an antibody mimetic.

JO - Climate Dynamics JF - Climate Dynamics Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 22 IS - 6/7 M3 - Article SP - 573 EP - 590 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09307575 AB - A century scale integration of a near-global atmosphere–ocean model is used to study the multi-decadal variability of the thermohaline circulation (THC) in the Atlantic. The differences between the coupled and two supplementary ocean-only experiments suggest that a significant component of this variability is controlled by either a collective behavior of the ocean and the atmosphere, particularly in the form of air-sea heat exchange, or sub-monthly random noise present in the coupled system. Possible physical mechanisms giving rise to the mode of this THC variability are discussed. The SST anomaly associated with the THC variability resembles an interdecadal SST pattern extracted from observational data, as well as a pattern associated with the 50–60 year THC variability in the GFDL coupled model. In each case, a warming throughout the subpolar North Atlantic but concentrated along the Gulf Stream and its extension is indicated when the THC is strong. Concomitantly, surface air temperature has positive anomalies over the warmer ocean, with the strongest signal located downwind of the warmest SST anomalies and intruding into the western Eurasian Continent. In addition to the thermal response, there are also changes in the atmospheric flow pattern. More specifically, an anomalous northerly wind develops over the Labrador Sea when the THC is stronger than normal, suggesting a local primacy of the atmospheric forcing in the thermohaline perturbation structure.

An image of a lone attacker trying to hack into someone else's computer has been replaced by one of waves of attacks with media-friendly names. These media darlings hide a disturbing aspect of today's Internet. Practically all systems attached to the Internet are constantly being scanned for vulnerabilities, while the number of attacks keeps increasing. Most of these consist of vulnerability scans-- the network equivalent of car thieves walking through a parking lot searching for unlocked cars. But unlike the Hollywood image of a loner launching directed attacks, many of these attempts are automated, not targeting any particular system. It's not a new phenomenon either. As the Internet has evolved, so has the volume and sophistication of its malicious traffic. Most of these scans are reconnaissance for subsequent directed attacks. Others automatically attempt to exploit a system once they discover a potential vulnerability. Practically every computer linked to the Internet is constantly being scanned for security vulnerabilities and targeted for attack by viruses, worms, and worse.

JO - Communications of the ACM JF - Communications of the ACM Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 47 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 83 EP - 88 SN - 00010782 AB - The article discusses the transformation in IT education made by the organization of computing and information technology (CIT). Issues of greatest interest to CIT professionals are: reasons underlying the trend; possible changes, accompanying the shift, in how CIT will he organized and administered in the future; and whether the objectives of academic units that are thus reorganizing themselves are being realized. This article draws upon survey data to provide an early view of what the evolving profession is trying to accomplish, and the extent to which it is succeeding. The first set of questions concerned the scale CIT unit operations. Their operating budgets range from a few hundred thousand dollars to over $75 million; their external finding ranges from none to $58 million; they have between 8,500 and 250,000 square feet of space. Another sense of scale is provided by the number of majors the colleges offer, and the number of credit hours the programs produce. The number of majors ranges from five to 4,200; the number of credit hours generated ranges from 140 to 55,435. Studies indicate that CIT schools are more prevalent than colleges.

Technological development drivers continue to be environmentally and consumer-benign processing and/or products, however in recent years expansion of the use of sub- and supercritical fluids has been catalyzed by applications in such opportune fields as nutraceuticals, conversion of biomass (bio-refining), and the ability to modify natural products by reactions. The use of critical fluid technology is an important facet of any sustainable development program, particularly when utilized over a broad, interconnected application platform. In this overview presentation, concepts and applications of critical fluids from the author’s research as well as the literature will be cited to support the above trends. A totally ‘green’ processing platform appears to be viable using carbon dioxide in the appropriate form, ethanol and water as intermediate co-solvents/reactants, and water from above its boiling point to supercritical conditions. These fluids can be combined in overall coupled unit processes, such as combining transesterification with hydrogenation, or glycerolysis of lipid moieties with supercritical fluid fractionation. Such fluids also can exploited sequentially for bio-refining processes or the segregation of value-added products, but may require using coupled fluid or unit operations to obtain the targeted product composition or purity. Changing the reduced temperatures and/or pressures of critical fluids offers a plethora of opportunity, an excellent example being the relative critical fluid state of water. For example, sub-critical water slightly above its boiling point provides a unique medium that mimics polar organic solvents, and has been used even for the extraction of thermally labile solutes or reaction chemistry.

Le de´veloppement de cette technologie continue a` s'appuyer sur des traitements et/ou des produits qui n'affectent pas l'environnement et les consommateurs mais, au cours des dernie`res anne´es, l'accroissement de l'utilisation des fluides sous-critiques et supercritiques a e´te´ encourage´ par des applications telles que les produits nutraceutiques, la conversion de la biomasse (bioraffinage) et la modification des produits naturels par re´actions. L'utilisation de la technologie des fluides critiques constitue un volet important de tout programme de de´veloppement durable, en particulier lorsqu'elle est employe´e sur une vaste plate-forme d'applications interconnecte´es. Dans cette pre´sentation d'ensemble, les concepts et les applications des fluides critiques issues des recherches de l'auteur aussi bien que de la bibliographie seront mentionne´s pour appuyer les orientations expose´es ci-dessus. Une plate-forme de traitement entie`rement « verte » semble eˆtre viable si l'on utilise le dioxyde de carbone sous une forme approprie´e, l'e´thanol et l'eau comme co-solvants re´actifs interme´diaires, et l'eau dans le domaine compris entre le point d'e´bullition et les conditions supercritiques. Ces fluides peuvent eˆtre combine´s dans des processus unitaires couple´s globalement, tels que la combinaison de la transeste´rification avec l'hydroge´nation, ou la glyce´rolyse des groupes lipides caracte´ristiques avec le fractionnement des fluides supercritiques. De tels fluides peuvent aussi eˆtre exploite´s se´quentiellement pour les processus de bioraffinage ou la se´gre´gation des produits a` valeur ajoute´e, mais ils peuvent ne´cessiter l'utilisation de fluides couple´s ou d'ope´rations unitaires pour obtenir la composition ou la purete´ cible du produit. Le changement des tempe´ratures et/ou des pressions re´duites des fluides critiques offre une profusion d'opportunite´s, dont un excellent exemple est constitue´ par l'e´tat critique relatif de l'eau. Par exemple, l'eau sous-critique fournit, le´ge`rement au-dessus de son point d'e´bullition, un milieu unique imitant celui des solvants organiques polaires, qui a meˆme e´te´ utilise´ pour l'extraction des solute´s thermiquement labiles ou la chimie re´actionnelle.

It is used to compute power deposition, driven current, momentum transfer, fueling, and other profiles in tokamak plasmas due to NBI. NUBEAM computes the time-dependent deposition and slowing down of the fast ions produced by NBI, taking into consideration beam geometry and composition, ion-neutral interactions (atomic physics), anomalous diffusion of fast ions, the effects of large scale instabilities, the effect of magnetic ripple, and finite Larmor radius effects. The NUBEAM module can also treat fusion product ions that contribute to alpha heating and ash accumulation, whether or not NBI is present. These physical phenomena are important in simulations of present day tokamaks and projections to future devices such as ITER. The NUBEAM module was extracted from the TRANSP integrated modeling code, using standards of the National Transport Code Collaboration (NTCC), and was submitted to the NTCC module library (http://w3.pppl.gov/NTCC). This paper describes the physical processes computed in the NUBEAM module, together with a summary of the numerical techniques that are used. The structure of the NUBEAM module is described, including its dependence on other NTCC library modules. Finally, a description of the procedure for setting up input data for the NUBEAM module and making use of the output is outlined.

In this paper, a three-dimensional two-phase mixture model, along with the standard k#x03B5; mixture turbulence model is employed to study the turbulent mixing of the fluid–particle slurry system. Numerical results show that turbulent flow is required to keep the hydrogen particles in suspension, which otherwise form a sliding layer of particles on top of the helium layer. Hydrogen particle concentration profiles in the slurry system are functions of particle size, flow velocity, and influx volume fraction of hydrogen particles. Particle dispersion at different Stokes numbers, different Kolmogorov length scales, and different time scales are discussed.

Monochromatic laser light of wavelength 797 nm enters a spherical vessel (d=100 mm), which is filled with a mixture of liquid helium and solid H2 particles of various sizes. The mass of the H2 is determined prior to insertion into the sphere by measuring the amount of gH2 that is condensed into an injector supply reservoir. In the SHOMGS a light source undergoes multiple internal reflections by the container walls and simultaneous absorption by the sH2 with the received signal being proportional to the mass of H2 in the container. The measured signal from the SHOMGS is compared to the injected mass of sH2 to quantify the performance of the device in this application.

In a single-fluid, two-phase mixture framework, the simulation of vaporization/condensation involves a vapor–liquid exchange model that accounts for mass and energy transfers due to phase changes between liquid and vapor helium. The enthalpy-porosity, solidification–melting technique is employed to investigate the hydrogen solidification. The volume fraction of each phase in the solidification process is determined using a volume of fluid (VOF) two-phase model, along with a piecewise-linear approach to trace the liquid/solid interface. The results throw some light on the helium flow field resulting from the phase change and the motion of the droplet. They provide some insight into the evolution of liquid–vapor phase-exchange processes as well as the solidification evolution of hydrogen particles of various diameters.

There is no distinctive phenotype of strains with a disruption of this gene, so the function of δ is very subtle or redundant. We have found, however, that suppression of a block in sporulation of B. subtilis at early stage III owing to disruption of the pdhC gene encoding the E2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) was attributable to a Tn10 insertion in the rpoE gene. An independent disruption of this gene also caused suppression. An earlier sporulation block due to absence of the E1β subunit of PDH was not suppressed. This specific suppression indicates that the δ subunit does have some direct or indirect role in sporulation, probably in the transcription of selected genes at stage II–III of sporulation, which is critical but only when there is functional E2.

It is possible to maximize the content of acicular ferrite by increasing the intragranular nucleation sites while maintaining a critical weld metal cooling rate and the steel hardenability. This paper highlights recent research related to nucleation and growth of acicular ferrite during decomposition of austenite.

JO - Disease Markers JF - Disease Markers Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 20 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 135 EP - 148 PB - Hindawi Publishing Corporation SN - 02780240 AB - Identifying useful markers of cancer can be problematic due to limited amounts of sample. Some samples such as nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) or early-stage tumors are inherently small. Other samples such as serum are collected in larger volumes but archives of these samples are very valuable and only small amounts of each sample may be available for a single study. Also, given the diverse nature of cancer and the inherent variability in individual protein levels, it seems likely that the best approach to screen for cancer will be to determine the profile of a battery of proteins. As a result, a major challenge in identifying protein markers of disease is the ability to screen many proteins using very small amounts of sample. In this review, we outline some technological advances in proteomics that greatly advance this capability. Specifically, we propose a strategy for identifying markers of breast cancer in NAF that utilizes mass spectrometry (MS) to simultaneously screen hundreds or thousands of proteins in each sample. The best potential markers identified by the MS analysis can then be extensively characterized using an ELISA microarray assay. Because the microarray analysis is quantitative and large numbers of samples can be efficiently analyzed, this approach offers the ability to rapidly assess a battery of selected proteins in a manner that is directly relevant to traditional clinical assays.

This building communications network concept, which we term Integrated Building Environmental Communications System (IBECS™), would enable both occupant-based and building-wide control of individual window, lighting, and sensor devices. IBECS can reduce the cost of systemic control because it allows a drastic cost reduction in per point networking costs. This kind of effort is needed to encourage the control industry to make the commitment to build this technology and to demonstrate to prospective customers that this breakthrough approach to more comprehensive systemic control will provide them with high-quality, convenient control while saving them money.The development and demonstration of network interfaces to DC- and AC-motorized shades and to an electrochromic window are described. The network interfaces enable one to control and monitor the condition of these fenestration appliances from a variety of sources, including a user’s personal computer. By creating a functional specification for an IBECS network interface and testing a prototype, the ability to construct such an interface was demonstrated and the cost-effective price per point better understood. The network interfaces were demonstrated to be reliable in a full-scale test of three DC-motorized Venetian blinds in an open-plan office over 2 years and in limited bench-scale tests of an electrochromic window.

JO - Environmental Practice JF - Environmental Practice Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 6 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 135 EP - 143 SN - 14660474 AB - The bioaccumulation of methylmercury in fish is a complex process affected by many site-specific environmental factors. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recently recommended changing the basis for expressing the ambient water quality criterion for mercury from an aqueous concentration to a measure of the methylmercury concentration in fish. This change would make the regulation of mercury in surface waters a site-specific exercise in which fish-based bioaccumulation factors (BAF; the ratio of mercury concentration in fish to the concentration of mercury in water) are used to calculate aqueous concentration limits for total mercury. These limits would then be used to allocate mercury loading among various point and nonpoint sources and guide regulatory actions. In order for this approach to succeed, it is critical that the sitespecific BAFs and methylmercury:total mercury conversion factors be independent of aqueous total mercury concentration (HgT). We investigated this relationship by measuring aqueous methylmercury and HgTs and mercury in fish in ecologically similar warm-water streams in the southeastern United States. Bioaccumulation factors based on HgT in water were found to decrease with increasing HgT, primarily as a consequence of the reduction in the ratio of aqueous methylmercury to total mercury with increasing HgT. Methylmercury-based BAFs did not vary as a function of HgT. The implication of this relationship is that site-specific determination of aqueous HgT limits at contaminated sites may use BAFs that would be underestimates of the appropriate BAFs to describe mercury bioaccumulation in the system after mercury inputs have been reduced. In such cases, regulatory limits set using site-specific BAFs might not achieve their intended purpose of reducing mercury contamination in fish to acceptable concentrations.

The hypothesis that there are differences in these three areas as a function of ethnicity was examined. We predicted that if differences existed, they would exist for all three evaluations (general environmental problems, government spending, and environmental concerns about LANL). However, this was not the case; there were fewer ethnic differences concerning LANL. Hispanics rated most general environmental problems higher than Whites and rated their willingness to expend federal funds higher than Whites, although all groups gave a lower score on willingness than on concern. Further, the congruence between these two types of ratings was higher for Hispanics than for others. In general, the concerns expressed by subjects about LANL showed few ethnic differences, and everyone was most concerned about contamination. These data indicate that Hispanics attending a gun show are equally or more concerned than others about environmental problems generally but are not more concerned about LANL. The data can be useful for developing future research and stewardship plans and for understanding general environmental problems and their relationship to concerns about LANL. More generally, they indicate that the attitudes and perceptions of Hispanics deserve increased study in a general population.

In closed systems, sulfate- reducing bacteria (SRB) such as Desulfovibrio spp. demonstrably affect U immobilization by enzymatic reduction of U(VI) species (primarily the uranyl ion, UO22+ and its complexes) to U(IV). However, our understanding of such interactions under chronic U(VI) exposure in dynamic systems is limited. As a first step to understanding such interactions, we performed bioreactor experiments under continuous flow to study the effect of a biofilm of the sulfate- reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans attached to specular hematite (α-Fe2O2) surfaces on surface-associated U(VI) complexation,transformation, and mobility. Employing real-time microscopic observation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we show that the characteristics of the U(VI) complex(es) formed at the hematite surface are influenced by the composition of the bulk aqueous phase flowing across the surface and by the presence of surface- associated SRB. The XPS data further suggest higher levels of U associated with hematite surfaces colonized by SRB than with bacteria-free surfaces. Microscopic observations indicate that at least a portion of the U(VI) that accumulates in the presence of the SRB is exterior to the cells, possibly associated with the extracellular biofilm matrix.

Measurements of U(VI) diffusion from initially pH 2 and pH 11 solutions into a slightly alkaline Altamont soil and a neutral Oak Ridge soil were obtained through monitoring uptake from boundary reservoirs and from U concentration profiles within soil columns. The soils provided pH buffering, resulting in diffusion at nearly constant pH. Micro X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra confirmed that U remained in U(VI) forms in all soils. Time trends of U(VI) depletion from reservoirs and U(VI) concentration profiles within soil columns yielded Kd values consistent with those determined in batch tests at similar concentrations (≈1 mM) and much lower than values for sorption at much lower concentrations (nM to µM). These results show that U(VI) transport at high concentrations can be relatively fast at non-neutral pH, with negligible surface diffusion, because of weak sorption.

In this study, kinetic carbon isotope fractionation factors (ϵ) associated with the aerobic biodegradation of vinyl chloride (VC), cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE), and trichloroethylene (TCE) were examined. Of the three solvents, the largest fractionation effects were observed for biodegradation of VC. Both metabolic and cometabolic VC degradation were studied using Mycobacterium aurum L1 (grown on VC), Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b (grown on methane), Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 (grown on propane), and two VC enrichment cultures seeded from contaminated soils of Alameda Point and Travis Air Force Base, CA. M. aurum L1 caused the greatest fractionation (ϵ = -5.7) while for the cometabolic cultures, ϵ values ranged from -3.2 to -4.8. VC fractionation patterns for the enrichment cultures were within the range of those observed for the metabolic and cometabolic cultures ( ϵ= -4.5 to -5.5). The fractionation for cometabolic degradation of TCE by Me. trichosporium OB3b was low (ϵ = -1.1), while no quantifiable carbon isotopic fractionation was observed during the cometabolic degradation of cDCE. For all three of the tested chlorinated ethenes, isotopic fractionation measured during aerobic degradation was significantly smaller than that reported for anaerobic reductive dechlorination. This study suggests that analysis of compound-specific isotopic fractionation could assist in determining whether aerobic or anaerobic degradation of VC and cDCE predominates in field applications of in-situ bioremediation. In contrast, isotopic fractionation effects associated with metabolic and cometabolic reactions are not sufficiently dissimilar to distinguish these processes in the field.

Specific values of (4.30 ± 0.12) × 108, (1.41 ± 0.02) × 1010, and (2.01 ± 0.03) × 108 M-1 s-1 were measured, respectively. DMPO spin-trapping experiments demonstrated that the hydroxyl radical reaction with NDMA occurs by hydrogen atom abstraction from a methyl group, and the rate constant for the subsequent reaction of this radical transient with dissolved oxygen was measured as (5.3 ± 0.6) × 106 M-1 s-1. This relatively slow rate constant implies that regeneration of the parent nitrosoamine from the oxidized transient could occur in natural waters containing dissolved organic compounds. The reaction of the hydrated electron with NDMA was to form a transient adduct anion, which could subsequently transfer this excess electron to regenerate the parent chemical. Such regeneration reactions would significantly reduce the effectiveness of any applied advanced oxidation technology remediation effort on NDMA-contaminated natural waters.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/06//6/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 3184 EP - 3188 SN - 0013936X AB - Competitive ion-exchange reactions were studied on a strong-base anion-exchange resin to remove NO3- and uranium from a contaminated groundwater containing high levels of NO3- (∼140 mM), SO42- (∼140 mM), and U(VI) (∼-0.2 mM). Results indicate that although SO3- carries divalent negative charges, it showed the least selectivity for sorption by the Purolite A-520E resin, which is functionalized with triethylamine exchange sites. Nitrate was the most strongly sorbed. Sorption selectivity followed the order of NO3- > CI- > SO42- under the experimental conditions. Nitrate competitively sorbed and displaced previously sorbed SO42- in a column flow-through experiment and resulted in a high elution front of SO42- in the effluent. Although the concentration of uranium in groundwater is orders of magnitude lower than that of NO3- or SO42-, it was found to be strongly sorbed by the anion-exchange resin. Because the most stable uranium species in oxic and suboxic environments is the UO22+ cation, its strong sorption by anion-exchange resins is hypothesized to be the result of the co-ion effect of NO3- by forming anionic UO2(NO3)3 complexes in the resin matrix. These observations point out a potential alternative remediation strategy that uses strong-base anion-exchange resins to remove uranium from this site-specific groundwater, which has a low pH and a relatively high NO3- concentration.

A 4-quasiparticle isomer with t1/2 =188±38 ns has been observed for the first time and its de-excitation through collective and intrinsic structures studied. The results are compared with predictions of blocked BCS Nilsson calculations. Observation of this metastable state completes the tungsten 4-quasiparticle isomer systematics from A 176 to 186. Mapping out the most yrast 4-quasiparticle isomers in these even-even tungsten isotopes suggests the existence of a highly favoured state in 188W, within reach of current experimental set-ups.

T1 - Diversity of methanotroph communities in a basalt aquifer JO - FEMS Microbiology Ecology JF - FEMS Microbiology Ecology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 48 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 333 EP - 344 SN - 01686496 AB - Methanotrophic bacteria play an important role in global cycling of carbon and co-metabolism of contaminants. Methanotrophs from pristine regions of the Snake River Plain Aquifer (SRPA; Idaho, USA) were studied in order to gain insight into the native groundwater communities'' genetic potential to carry out TCE co-metabolism. Wells were selected that were proximal to a TCE plume believed to be undergoing natural attenuation. Methane concentrations ranged from 1 to >1000 nM. Carbon isotope ratios and diversity data together suggest that the SRPA contains active communities of methanotrophs that oxidize microbially produced methane. Microorganisms removed from groundwater by filtration were used as inocula for enrichments or frozen immediately and DNA was subsequently extracted for molecular characterization. Primers that specifically target methanotroph 16S rRNA genes or genes that code for subunits of soluble or particulate methane monooxygenase, mmoX and pmoA, respectively, were used to characterize the indigenous methanotrophs via PCR, cloning, RFLP analysis, and sequencing. Type I methanotroph clones aligned with Methylomonas, Methylocaldum, and Methylobacter sequences and a distinct 16S rRNA phylogenetic lineage grouped near Methylobacter. The majority of clone sequences in type II methanotroph 16S rRNA, pmoA, and mmoX gene libraries grouped closely with sequences in the Methylocystis genus. A subset of the type II methanotroph clones from the aquifer had sequences that aligned most closely to Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b and Methylocystis spp., known TCE-co-metabolizing methanotrophs.

Active control and stabilization of the mode will almost certainly be essential for the success of advanced tokamaks and for the economic viability of tokamak fusion reactors. High performance tokamak plasmas often experience edge-localized-modes (ELMs) which can interfere with RWM identification and control. If the RWM control scheme reacts to an ELM the RWM may be driven unstable instead of controlled. An algorithm for real-time identification of the RWM with discrimination of ELMs in the DIII-D tokamak has been developed using a combination of matched filter and Kalman filter methods. The algorithm has been implemented in DIII-D’s real-time plasma control system (PCS) and is available to drive active mode control schemes.

The control required on NSTX is achieved through the combined efforts of several applications developed collaboratively including the power supply real-time controller (PSRTC) and the plasma control system (PCS). The PSRTC communicates with the PCS receiving from the PCS real-time voltage controls and is responsible for supplying dc power to the NSTX poloidal field, toroidal field and Ohmic heating coils. The PCS, which was designed at general atomics, controls the data acquisition, gas injection, plasma current, and plasma shape, including a real-time EFIT and isoflux algorithm for equilibrium reconstruction. Modular control algorithms, specific to NSTX, were written and incorporated into the PCS. The NSTX control system is equipped with 160 channels of fast real-time data acquisition and eight 333 MHz G4 processors, which perform the supervision, position, shape, and performance control. After a discharge, the acquired data and setup parameters are transferred to an MDSPlus central archive for later inspection and can be used to repeat previous machine configurations.

In many cases, replacement components are not available, effectively rendering a CAMAC module unusable after a failure. The proliferation of high performance, reliable, low-cost commodity computing hardware and software based on industry standard technology can provide the basis for a new generation of instrumentation. At NSTX, there have been several advances towards developing a PCI-based model for data acquisition and control systems. New hardware developments include a High Performance Signal Conditioning board and an Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based Multifunction Timing System (MTS). Extensible software interfaces have been developed to integrate these boards into the NSTX computing environment [P. Sichta, J. Dong, G. Oliaro, P. Roney ‘Overview of the NSTX Control System,’ 8th International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems, San Jose, CA (2001)]. This paper will illustrate these developments and how they could be used to benefit collaborative fusion research.

JO - Genetics JF - Genetics Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 167 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 761 EP - 781 SN - 00166731 AB - The Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) strives to disrupt each Drosophila gene by the insertion of a single transposable element. As part of this effort, transposons in >30,000 fly strains were localized and analyzed relative to predicted Drosophila gene structures. Approximately 6300 lines that maximize genomic coverage were selected to be sent to the Bloomington Stock Center for public distribution, bringing the size of the BDGP gene disruption collection to 7140 lines. It now includes individual lines predicted to disrupt 5362 of the 13,666 currently annotated Drosophila genes (39%). Other lines contain an insertion at least 2 kb from others in the collection and likely mutate additional incompletely annotated or uncharacterized genes and chromosomal regulatory elements. The remaining strains contain insertions likely to disrupt alternative gene promoters or to allow gene misexpression. The expanded BDGP gene disruption collection provides a public resource that will facilitate the application of Drosophila genetics to diverse biological problems. Finally, the project reveals new insight into how transposons interact with a eukaryotic genome and helps define optimal strategies for using insertional mutagenesis as a genomic tool.

JO - Genetics JF - Genetics Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 167 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 889 EP - 895 SN - 00166731 AB - Chromosomal inversions are valuable genetic tools for mutagenesis screens, where appropriately marked inversions can be used as balancer chromosomes to recover and maintain mutations in the corresponding chromosomal region. For any inversion to be effective as a balancer, it should exhibit both dominant and recessive visible traits; ideally the recessive trait should be a fully penetrant lethality in which inversion homozygotes die before birth. Unfortunately, most inversions recovered by classical radiation or chemical mutagenesis techniques do not have an overt phenotype in either the heterozygous or the homozygous state. However, they can be modified by relatively simple procedures to make them suitable as an appropriately marked balancer. We have used homologous recombination to modify, in embryonic stem cells, the recessive-lethal In(15)21Rk inversion to endow it with a dominant-visible phenotype. Several ES cell lines were derived from inversion heterozygotes, and a keratin-14 (K14) promoter-driven agouti minigene was introduced onto the inverted chromosome 15 in the ES cells by gene targeting. Mice derived from the targeted ES cells carry the inverted chromosome 15 and, at the same time, exhibit lighter coat color on their ears and tails, making this modified In (15)21Rk useful as a balancer for proximal mouse chromosome 15.

JO - Genome Research JF - Genome Research Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1119 EP - 1129 SN - 10889051 AB - Recombination systems based on λ and Cre/loxP have been described to facilitate gene transfer from one vector to another in a high-throughput fashion, avoiding the bottlenecks associated with traditional cloning. However, no system described to date is suitable for the cloning of affinity reagents selected from display libraries, which requires that the recombination signals flanking the affinity reagent are translated with a minimum impact on functionality. As affinity reagents will be essential tools in the functional characterization of proteomes, and display technologies represent the most effective means to generate such affinity reagents on a genomic scale, we developed a Cre/IoxP-based system, using mutually exclusive heterologous loxP sites placed 5' (Lox 2372) and 3' (Lox WT) of an affinity reagent (scFv). The translated lox sites have minimal impact on scFv expression or functionality, and, in association with a conditionally lethal gene (SacB) permit efficient, high-fidelity transfer to destination vectors. This approach will considerably facilitate the high-throughput downstream use of affinity reagents selected by display technologies, as well as being widely applicable to general recombinatorial cloning for genomic purposes.

Sequence Iogos provide a richer and more precise description of sequence similarity than consensus sequences and can rapidly reveal significant features of the alignment otherwise difficult to perceive. Each logo consists of stacks of letters, one stack for each position in the sequence. The overall height of each stack indicates the sequence conservation at that position (measured in bits), whereas the height of symbols within the stack reflects the relative frequency of the corresponding amino or nucleic acid at that position. WebLogo has been enhanced recently with additional features and options, to provide a convenient and highly configurable sequence logo generator. A command line interface and the complete, open WebLogo source code are available for local installation and customization.

Recently, a novel method, phylogenetic shadowing, has been pioneered for predicting functional elements in the human genome through the analysis of multiple primate sequence alignments. We have expanded this theoretical approach to create a computational tool, eShadow, for the identification of elements under selective pressure in multiple sequence alignments of closely related genomes, such as in comparisons of human-to-primate or mouse-to-rat DNA. This tool integrates two different statistical methods and allows for the dynamic visualization of the resulting conservation profile, eShadow also includes a versatile optimization module capable of training the underlying Hidden Markov Model to differentially predict functional sequences. This module grants the tool high flexibility in the analysis of multiple sequence alignments and in comparing sequences with different divergence rates. Here, we describe the eShadow comparative tool and its potential uses for analyzing both multiple nucleotide and protein alignments to predict putative functional elements.

Two algorithms were employed to predict the impact of these amino acid substitutions on protein activity. Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant (SIFT) classified 226 of 508 variants (44%) as “Intolerant.” Polymorphism Phenotyping (PolyPhen) classed 165 of 489 amino acid substitutions (34%) as “Probably or possibly damaging.” Another 9–15% of the variants were classed as “Potentially intolerant or damaging.” The results from the two algorithms are highly associated, with concordance in predicted impact observed for ∼62% of the variants. Twenty-one to thirty-one percent of the variant proteins are predicted to exhibit reduced activity by both algorithms. These variants occur at slightly lower individual allele frequency than do the variants classified as “Tolerant” or “Benign.” Both algorithms correctly predicted the impact of 26 functionally characterized amino acid substitutions in the APE1 protein on biochemical activity, with one exception. It is concluded that a substantial fraction of the missense variants observed in the general human population are functionally relevant. These variants are expected to be the molecular genetic and biochemical basis for the associations of reduced DNA repair capacity phenotypes with elevated cancer risk.

T1 - Heterogeneous reduction of uranyl by micas: Crystal chemical and solution controls JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 68 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2417 EP - 2435 SN - 00167037 AB - This contribution primarily uses X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to better understand mechanisms for coupled sorption-reduction of aqueous UVI by ferrous micas. Additional information was obtained with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The research is important because homogeneous reduction of aqueous UVI is sluggish compared to heterogeneous reduction pathways, and micas are important sorbents for uranium in granitic terrains, which have been proposed as potential radionuclide waste disposal sites.Three micas (high, medium and low Fe/Mg biotites), prepared as thin centimeter-sized books, were reacted with UVI solutions that contained 0–25 mM Na+ or K+, at pH = 4.5, 5.0, 6.0, and 9.5. All the experiments were performed under argon at one bar. Solid samples were retrieved at timed intervals for up to 20 h. Both mica edge and basal plane orientations were analyzed by XPS. Analyses of peak positions, core satellites, and the 5f valence band indicate that UVI can be reduced by biotite and that heterogeneous reduction depends on the type and concentration of alkali cation in solution, crystallography, and mica composition. We conclude that ferrous micas can reduce UVI on edge sites, but not on exposed basal plane surfaces, and that Na+ and K+ facilitate and hinder the reaction, respectively. These observations pertain over a broad range of pH.X-Ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) of annite sections indicates that the interlayer region, as opposed to external basal surfaces, also offers possible sites for heterogeneous reduction of UVI. TEM of annites with high uranium coverage confirmed the presence of interlayer uranium; interestingly, this uranium is concentrated in U-rich nano-scale zones.

Results indicate that uranyl triscarbonate-like adsorption complexes dominate at U(VI) solution concentrations <500 μM, whereas the formation of U(VI) hydroxide and carbonato precipitates is observed at higher concentrations, consistent with isotherm data and aqueous speciation calculations. The EXAFS data indicate weak splitting in the equatorial O shell of the U(VI) adsorption complexes, which may indicate that the adsorption complexes are bound in an inner-sphere fashion at the calcite surface, although no Ca backscattering could be positively identified. The luminescence data indicate the presence of at least two adsorption complexes that change proportion with U(VI) loading. One species, dominating at low-surface coverage, is the uranyl triscarbonate complex. A second species is observed at higher surface loadings with a luminescence spectrum that is intermediate between the triscarbonate species found at the lowest loadings and uranyl incorporated into bulk polycrystalline calcite. The combined EXAFS and luminescence data indicate that the U(VI) adsorption complexes forming at the calcite surface are triscarbonate-like complexes, with a change in interaction with calcite surface sites as the surface loading increases, and the formation of U(VI) hydroxide/carbonato precipitates at high concentrations. Consequently, multiple uranyl species are likely to exist at the calcite surface during interaction of U(VI)-containing waters in the near-surface environment. Furthermore, complex sorption/desorption behavior and kinetics may be associated with differing stabilities of sorbed U(VI) species in calcite-containing materials.

Specifically, the speciation of trace metals at low bulk concentrations and the nature of host minerals can be probed with a level of detail unattainable by other techniques. The potential of this novel analytical approach is demonstrated by determining the Zn species in the solid phases of a pristine horizon of a clayey acidic soil (pH 4.5–5.0) having a Zn concentration of 128 mg/kg. The sample presents a differentiated fabric under the optical microscope with traces of localized manganiferous, ferriferous and argillaceous accumulations. The high chemical and textural heterogeneity of this soil offers an opportunity to identify new Zn species and to confirm the existence of others proposed from published least-squares fits of bulk averaged EXAFS spectra. As many as five to six Zn species were observed: sphalerite (ZnS), zincochromite (ZnCr2O4), Zn-containing phyllosilicate and lithiophorite, and Zn-sorbed ferrihydrite or Zn-phosphate, the results being less definitive for these two last species. Bulk EXAFS spectroscopy applied to the powdered soil indicated that Zn is predominantly associated with phyllosilicates, all other species amounting to < ∼10 to 20% of total zinc. The role of lithiophorite in the sequestration of zinc in soils had been inferred previously, but the firm identification of lithiophorite in this study serves as an excellent demonstration of the capabilities of combined micro-SXRF/XRD/EXAFS measurements. The micro-EXAFS spectrum collected in an area containing only phyllosilicates could not be simulated assuming a single Zn structural environment. Two distinct octahedrally-coordinated crystallographic sites (i.e., two EXAFS components) were considered: one site located within the phyllosilicate structure (isomorphic cationic substitution in the octahedral sheet) and another in the interlayer region in the form of a Zn-sorbed hydroxy-Al interlayered species. This second subspecies is less certain and further investigation of the individual EXAFS spectrum of this component is needed to precise its exact nature and the uptake mechanism of zinc in it.

Phospholipid fatty acid analysis revealed that approximately 104-105 viable cells per gram of dry rock are extant, and water availability was shown to he the primary factor limiting microbial growth in situ. Phosphate and carbon limitation, however, also suppress final cell densities by at least one order of magnitude under saturated conditions. Despite these limiting factors, significant growth of aerobic chemoheterotrophic microorganisms was shown to occur in unconcentrated simulated groundwater with or without addition of a reduced carbon source (7 × 107 and 8 × 106 planktonic cells/mL, respectively), indicating that when water becomes available in the repository environment, microbial growth will ensue. Organisms that were isolated from stationary cultures grown from Yucca Mountain rock in concentrated and unconcentrated simulated groundwaters showed significant 16S rDNA sequence divergence from reference organisms. Different (but related) organisms were isolated from concentrated and unconcentrated groundwater-grown cultures. Generally, as experimental conditions approached those expected to he encountered in situ, the organisms isolated were more divergent from reference organisms. Organisms that were isolated have metabolic properties that could allow them to he active and grow within the repository environment if water availability is sufficient.

In 2000 more than 115 million tons of fluids were extracted, but only about 20% was injected back into the reservoirs. This deficit has contributed to a drop in pressures resulting in localized boiling, influx of cooler groundwater and other reservoir processes. The influence of geologic features, especially faults, on these processes and on the response of different parts of the field to production is described. The study illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to gain an understanding of the behavior of geothermal systems under production.

The following scenarios of parental geothermal fluid upflow were studied: (1) single-phase conditions, 260 °C at the bottom (‘Ogiri’ type); (2) two-phase conditions, 300 °C at the bottom (‘Hatchobaru’ type); and (3) heat pipe conditions, 260 °C at the bottom (‘Matsukawa’ type). THC modeling for the single-phase upflow scenario shows wairakite, quartz, K-feld spar and chlorite formed as the principal secondary minerals in the production zone, and illite-smectite formed below 230 °C. THC modeling of the two-phase upflow shows that quartz, K-feldspar (microcline), wairakite and calcite precipitate in the model as principal secondary minerals in the production zone. THC modeling of heat pipe conditions shows no significant secondary deposition of minerals (quartz, K-feldspar, zeolites) in the production zone. The influence of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of chemical interaction, and of mass fluxes on mineral phase changes, was found to be significant, depending on the upflow regime. It was found that no parental geothermal fluid inflow is needed for zeolite precipitation, which occurs above 140 °C in saturated andesite, provided that the porosity is greater than 0.001. In contrast, quartz and K-feldspar precipitation may result in a significant porosity reduction over a hundred-year time scale under mass flux conditions, and complete fracture sealing will occur given sufficient time under either single-phase or two-phase upflow scenarios. A heat pipe scenario shows no significant porosity reduction due to lack of secondary mineral phase deposition.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 10 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1027 EP - 1042 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13541013 AB - The rapidly rising concentration of atmospheric CO2 has the potential to alter forest and global carbon cycles by altering important processes that occur in soil. Forest soils contain the largest and longest lived carbon pools in terrestrial ecosystems and are therefore extremely important to the land–atmosphere exchange of carbon and future climate. Soil respiration is a sensitive integrator of many soil processes that control carbon storage in soil, and is therefore a good metric of changes to soil carbon cycling. Here, we summarize soil respiration data from four forest free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiments in developing and established forests that have been exposed to elevated atmospheric [CO2] (168 μL L−1 average enrichment) for 2–6 years. The sites have similar experimental design and use similar methodology (closed-path infrared gas analyzers) to measure soil respiration, but differ in species composition of the respective forest communities. We found that elevated atmospheric [CO2] stimulated soil respiration at all sites, and this response persisted for up to 6 years. Young developing stands experienced greater stimulation than did more established stands, increasing 39% and 16%, respectively, averaged over all years and communities. Further, at sites that had more than one community, we found that species composition of the dominant trees was a major controller of the absolute soil CO2 efflux and the degree of stimulation from CO2 enrichment. Interestingly, we found that the temperature sensitivity of bulk soil respiration appeared to be unaffected by elevated atmospheric CO2. These findings suggest that stage of stand development and species composition should be explicitly accounted for when extrapolating results from elevated CO2 experiments or modeling forest and global carbon cycles.

This study assessed whether or not the materials used in multilevel sampling equipment at this site could have contributed to the contaminants found in well water samples. As part of this investigation, laboratory testing of the sample equipment material was conducted. Results from the laboratory tests indicated three different materials from two types of multilevel samplers did, in fact, contribute volatile and semivolatile organic compounds to the ground water samples from static leach tests that were conducted during an eight week period. The nylon-11 tubing contributed trace concentrations of benzene (1.37 µg/L) and relatively high concentrations of the plasticizer N-butylbenzenesulfonamide (NBSA) (764 mg/L) to the water; a urethane-coated nylon well liner contributed relatively high concentrations of toluene (278 µg/L) and trace amounts of NBSA; and a sampling port spacer material made of nylon/polypropylene/polyester-composite contributed trace amounts of toluene and NBSA. While the concentrations of benzene and toluene measured in the laboratory tests were below the concentrations measured in actual ground water samples, the concentrations of organics from these equipment materials were sufficient to render the results reported for the ground water samples suspect.

JO - Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation JF - Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation Y1 - 2004///Summer2004 VL - 24 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 95 EP - 101 SN - 10693629 AB - As part of the site characterization efforts at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a series of unsaturated zone tracer tests has been performed at nearby Busted Butte. The phase 2 tracer test was conducted within an instrumented 10 m by 10 m by 7 m in situ block of vitric tuff. A complex tracer solution containing both reactive and nonreactive tracers was pumped into the block during a period of 27 months. Throughout the test, thousands of unsaturated zone pore water samples were collected on sorptive pads attached to inverting membranes and then analyzed for tracer concentration. Partway through the experiment, three new boreholes were drilled into the block, and two intercepted the tracer plume. The rock core was removed for pore water extraction and analysis, and the boreholes were then instrumented with inverting membranes and sorptive pads. The initial set of pore water-soaked pads was removed from the boreholes a week after they were emplaced, and the pore water was extracted and analyzed. This paper compares the tracer concentration data from the rock cores and the pads to evaluate the effectiveness of the inverting membrane collection technique for a variety of tracers. While the sorptive pads sample only dissolved tracers, rock cores contain both dissolved and sorbed tracer. For nonreactive tracers, such as halides (bromide and iodide) and fluorinated benzoic acids (FBAs), this distinction is immaterial, and the rock and pad data agree quantitatively for the halide tracers, and qualitatively for the FBAs. For reactive tracers, such as lithium, the dissolved tracer concentrations can be estimated from rock analyses by dividing by the tracer's retardation factor; when this correction is applied, the rock and pad lithium data are also in reasonable agreement.

The propane injection resulted in degradation of a mixture of chlorinated solvents, including trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-dichloroethylene (c-DCE), and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA). In only 20 d, the propane injection resulted in decreases of TCE and c-DCE of > 98%, and a decrease in TCA in soil gas by ∼70%. The degradation of the TCA may not have occurred with a methane, butane, toluene, or phenol injection. These decreases in chlorinated solvent concentrations were accompanied by large increases in propane-utilizing bacteria that ranged from below detection levels prior to the injection to ∼1% of the ending total aerobic heterotrophic population by the end of the propane injection. Thus, a proportional increase occurred as heterotrophic counts increased a hundredfold. Microbial TCE degradation activity, as measured in microcosms, also increased with the propane injection. The highest rates of degradation were observed in microcosms with propane and nutrients, indicating the potential for higher field rates of degradation with nutrient additions.

T1 - PRESCILA: A NEW, LIGHTWEIGHT NEUTRON REM METER. JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 86 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 603 EP - 612 SN - 00179078 AB - Conventional neutron rem meters currently in use are based on 1960's technology that relies on a large neutron moderator assembly surrounding a thermal detector to achieve a rem-like response function over a limited energy range. Such rem meters present an ergonomic challenge, being heavy and bulky, and have caused injuries during radiation protection surveys. Another defect of traditional rem meters is a poor high-energy response above 10 MeV, which makes them unsuitable for applications at high-energy accelerator facilities. Proton Recoil Scintillator-Los Alamos (PRESCILA) was developed as a low-weight (2 kg) alternative capable of extended energy response, high sensitivity, and moderate gamma rejection. An array of ZnS(Ag) based scintillators is located inside and around a Lucite light guide, which couples the scintillation light to a sideview bialkali photomultiplier tube. The use of both fast and thermal scintillators allows the energy response function to be optimized for a wide range of operational spectra. The light guide and the borated polyethylene frame provide moderation for the thermal scintillator element. The scintillators represent greatly improved versions of the Hornyak and Stedman designs from the 1950's, and were developed in collaboration with Eljen Technology. The inherent pulse height advantage of proton recoils over electron tracks in the phosphor grains eliminates the need for pulse shape discrimination and makes it possible to use the PRESCILA probe with standard pulse height discrimination provided by off-the-shelf health physics counters. PRESCILA prototype probes have been extensively tested at both Los Alamos and the German Bureau of Standards, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt. Test results are presented for energy response, directional dependence, linearity, sensitivity, and gamma rejection. Initial field tests have been conducted at Los Alamos and these results are also given. It is concluded that PRESCILA offers a viable, ergonomically superior, alternative to traditional rem meters that is effective for a wide range of neutron fields. The probe is capable of excellent sensitivity (40 counts per minute per μSv h-1 for 241AmBe) and extended energy response to beyond 20 MeV. Directional response is uniform (±15%) over a wide range of energies. Response linearity has been characterized to over 20 mSv h-1. Gamma rejection is effective in gamma fields up to 2 mSv h1. The PRESCILA technology has been commercialized and is now offered under license by Ludlum Measurements, Inc.

Genetic exchange by homologous recombination is frequent among close bacterial relatives and recent experiments have shown that it can enable the uptake of closely linked nonhomologous foreign DNA. Artificial vectors are mosaics of mobile DNA elements from free-living bacterial isolates and so bear a residual similarity to their ubiquitous natural progenitors. This homology is tightly linked to the multitude of different DNA sequences that are inserted into synthetic vectors. Can homology between vector and bacterial DNA enable the uptake of these foreign DNA inserts? In this review we investigate pUC18 as an example of an artificial vector and consider whether its homology to broad host-range antibiotic resistance transposons and plasmid origins of replication could enable the uptake of insert DNA in the light of studies of homology-facilitated foreign DNA uptake. We also discuss the disposal of recombinant DNA, its persistence in the environment and whether homologies to pUC18 may exist in naturally competent bacteria. Most DNA that is inserted into the cloning site of artificial vectors would be of little use to a bacterium, but perhaps not all.

The moissanite anvils are weakly absorbing and provide greater neutron fluxes to the sample than is possible with tungsten carbide anvils. There is minimal diffraction overlap from the single-crystal moissanite anvils compared to tungsten carbide or synthetic diamond anvils, providing cleaner background profiles. The required sample volume for high-pressure neutron diffraction is dramatically reduced to several cubic millimeters. High-quality powder diffraction patterns of wüstite were recorded at 90 min exposure times on the HIPPO diffractometer at LANSCE when the sample volume was in the range of ∼10 mm 3 . This is about two orders of magnitude smaller than the necessary sample volume (∼1.0 cm 3 ) for the same kind of experiment with other high-pressure cells and nominal neutron fluxes.

JO - Human Reproduction JF - Human Reproduction Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 19 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1395 EP - 1400 SN - 02681161 AB - BACKGROUND: Modern reproductive technologies are enabling the treatment of infertile men with severe disturbances of spermatogenesis. The possibility of elevated frequencies of genetically and chromosomally defective sperm has become an issue of concern with the increased usage of ICSI, which can enable men with severely impaired sperm production to father children. Several papers have been published reporting aneuploidy in oligozoospermic patients, but relatively little is known about chromosome structural aberrations in the sperm of these patients. METHODS: We examined sperm from infertile, oligozoospermic individuals for structural and numerical chromosomal abnormalities using a multicolour ACM fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay that utilizes DNA probes specific for three regions of chromosome 1 to detect human sperm that carry numerical chromosomal abnormalities plus two categories of structural aberrations: duplications and deletions of 1pter and 1cen, and chromosomal breaks within the 1cen–1q12 region. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the average frequencies of sperm with duplications and deletions in the infertility patients compared with the healthy concurrent controls. There was also a significantly elevated level of breaks within the 1cen–1q12 region. There was no evidence for an increase in chromosome 1 disomy, or in diploidy. CONCLUSIONS: Our data reveal that oligozoospermia is associated with chromosomal structural abnormalities, suggesting that oligozoospermic men carry a higher burden of transmissible, chromosome damage. The findings raise the possibility of elevated levels of transmissible chromosomal defects following ICSI treatment.

T1 - The presence and stability of ground ice in the southern hemisphere of Mars JO - ICARUS JF - ICARUS Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 169 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 324 EP - 340 SN - 00191035 AB - We calculate new estimates of ground-ice stability and the depth distribution of the ice table (the depth boundary between ice-free soil above and ice-cemented soil below) and compare these theoretical estimates of the distribution of ground ice with the observed distribution of leakage neutrons measured by the Neutron Spectrometer instrument of the Mars Odyssey spacecraft''s Gamma Ray Spectrometer instrument suite. Our calculated ground-ice distribution contains improvements over previous work in that we include the effects of the high thermal conductivity of ice-cemented soil at and below the ice table, we include the surface elevation dependence of the near-surface atmospheric humidity, and we utilize new high resolution maps of thermal inertia, albedo, and elevation from Mars Global Surveyor observations. Results indicate that ground ice should be about 5 times shallower than in previous predictions. While results are dependent on the atmospheric humidity, depths are generally between a few millimeters and a few meters with typical values of a few centimeters. Results are also geographically similar to previous predictions with differences due to the higher resolution of thermal inertia and the inclusion of elevation effects on humidity. Comparison with the measured epithermal-neutron count rates in the southern hemisphere indicate that the geographic distribution of the count rate is best correlated with ground ice in equilibrium with 10 to 20 pr μm (precipitable micrometers) column abundance of atmospheric water, assuming a uniform distribution with CO2; however, given the uncertainties, 5 to 30 pr μm also may be viable. This water abundance represents a longer-term average over 100 to 1000 yr. There is a high degree of correlation between the depth of the ice table and the epithermal count rate that agrees remarkably well with predicted count rates as a function of ice-table depth. These results indicate that ground ice in the upper meter of the martian soil is in diffusive equilibrium with the atmosphere. Since ground ice in this depth zone is expected to undergo saturation/desiccation cycles with orbital variations, this ice should be younger than about 500 kyr and was emplaced under similar cold and dry climate conditions of today. Remaining differences between the predicted depths of the ice table and those inferred from the neutron data are likely to be due to subpixel heterogeneity in the martian surface including the presence of rocks, slopes, and patches of soil with varying thermophysical properties.

Keck Telescope. The observations have a spatial resolution of 0.06 arcseconds. We detect bright clouds on three days in October 1998, with a brightness about 0.5% of the brightness of Titan. Using a 16-stream radiative transfer model (DISORT) to model the central equatorial longitude of each image, we construct a suite of surface albedo models parameterized by the optical depth of Titan''s hydrocarbon haze layer. From this we conclude that Titan''s equatorial surface albedo has plausible values in the range of 0–0.20. Titan''s minimum haze optical depth cannot be constrained from this modeling, but an upper limit of 0.3 at this wavelength range is found. More accurate determination of Titan''s surface albedo and haze optical depth, especially at higher latitudes, will require a model that fully considers the 3-dimensional nature of Titan''s atmosphere.

The mechanical design presents a support structure based on the use of keys and bladders without self-supporting collars. This technology has been proven effective in several successful common coil Nb3Sn dipoles built at LBNL, and it is for the fit time applied to a cos(2ϑ) design. In this paper we present a de$al4ed analysis of the quadrupole mechanical behavior, demonstrating the possibility of delivering, through this method, well-controlled coil pre-compression during assembly, cool-down and excitation.

It serves to support the magnet accurately and reliably within the vacuum vessel, to provide all required cryogenic piping, and to insulate the cold mass from heat radiated and conducted from the environment. The major components of the cryostat are the vacuum vessel, thermal shield multi-layer Insulation system,. cryogenic piping, interconnections, and suspension system. While responsibility for the design and manufacture of the main quadrupole elements is divided between Fermilab and KEK, Fermilab alone Is responsible for the design and final assembly of the cryostat for the LHC inner triplets. This paper describes the experience gained during fabrication of the first complete Q2 magnets, the alignment operation and results and the cryogenic performance of the magnet on the test stand at Fermilab.

Energy deposition will be so large that the lifetime and quench performance of Interaction region (IR) magnets may be significantly reduced if conventional designs are used. Moreover, the cryogenic capacity of the LHC will have to be significantly Increased as the energy deposition load on the infraction region (IR) magnets by Itself will exhaust the present capacity. We propose an alternate open midplane dipole design concept for the dipole-first optics that mitigates these issues. The proposed design takes advantage of the fact that most of the energy is deposited in the midplane region. The coil midplane region is kept free of superconductor, support structure and other material. Initial energy deposition calculations show that the increase in temperature remains within the quench tolerance of the superconducting coils. In addition, most of the energy is deposited in a relatively warm region where the heat removal is economical. We present the basic concept and preliminary design that includes several innovations.

The coating was selected based on the studies of cable samples with various strand coating. Ten 1-m long dipoles and two 6-m long dipoles were manufacturing using the cable with natural oxide coating of strands. These dipoles had low value of AC losses in the coil and reached the maximum magnetic field of 6.5 T in magnet aperture at the current ramp rates up to 0.8 T/s and 4.25 K temperature The effects of interlayer splices and able electrical insulation on the magnet ramp rate dependence are also reported.

Fast ramp times are needed. These can cause problems of ac loss and field distortion in the magnets. For the high energy ring, a 1 m model dipole magnet has been built, based on the RHIC dipole design. This magnet was tested under boiling liquid helium in a vertical dewar. The quench current showed very little dependence on ramp rate. The ac losses, measured by an electrical method, were fitted to straight line plots of losses cycle versus ramp rate, thereby separating the eddy current and hysteresis components. These results were compared with calculated values, using parameters which had previously been measured on short samples of cable. Reasonably good agreement between theory and experiment was found, although the measured hysteresis loss is higher than expected in ramps to the highest field levels.

With one of the mirror magnet, HFDA-03A, which had extra lead cables installed, some precursory voltage signals were observed at soldered joints in the high field region, leading to quenches at high ramp rate. These voltage signals diminish with slower ramp rate. The ramp rate dependence of the quench behaviors is experimentally studied. In the course of these quench investigation we developed a method to cancel the inductive voltage in the voltage tap signals. This method proved very effective to understand clearly how the quenches are propagating in all parts of the magnets.

HIM, the latest in a series of magnets, contains two, double-layer Nb3Sn flat racetrack coils. This single-bore dipole configuration, using the highest performance conductor available, was designed and assembled for a 16 tesla conductor/structure/pre-stress proof-of-principle. With the combination of brittle conductor and high Lorentz stress, considerable care was taken to predict the magnet's mechanical responses to pre-stress, cool-down, and excitation. Subsequent cold testing satisfied expectations: Training started at 136 T, 83% of "short-sample", achieved 90% in 10 quenches, and reached its peak bore field (16 T) after 19 quenches. The average plateau, ∼92% of "short-sample", appeared to be limited by "stick-slip" conductor motions, consistent with the 16.2 T conductor "lift-off" pre-stress that was chosen for this first test. Some lessons learned and some implications for future conductor and magnet technology development are presented and discussed.

The results revealed that the previously suspect splice technique is adequate and is not responsible for the quench performance limitation. Cable instability is the preferred candidate, however this might be coupled with other effects since all of the experimental results cannot be explained exclusively with cable instability.

This magnet has several innovative features such as: single-layer racetrack coils, a 22-mm wide 60-strand Rutherford type cable made of 0.7-inm Nb3Sn strands, and a stainless steel coil-support structure reinforced by horizontal bridges inserted between coil blocks. The model was instrumented with voltage taps, quench heaters, temperature sensors and strain gauges in order to monitor the quench origin, and to study mechanical and quench protection issues.

Temperature gradients during this process give rise to localized strains within the coil. Reactive forces in the magnet structure balance the electromagnetic and thermal forces and maintain on equilibrium. In this paper we present a complete 3D finite element analysis of a racetrack coil. Specifically, the analysis focuses on thermal, electrical and mechanical conditions in a 10 T Nb3Sn coil built and tested as part of LBNL's Subscale Magnet Program. The study at- tempts to simulate time history of the temperature and voltage rise during quench propagation. The transient thermal stress after the quench is then evaluated and discussed.

In the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) project, a superconducting type helical dipole magnets had been developed and it performed successfully in high-energy polarized proton acceleration. The new AGS helical snake has the same basic magnetic structure but is more complicated. To achieve no beam shift and no beam deflection in one magnetic device, helical pitches and rotating angles were carefully calculated. Compared to a superconducting magnet, a normal warm magnet must have a large cross-sectional area of conductors which make it difficult to design a magnet with large helical pitch. We developed a modified window frame structure to accommodate the large number of conductors. Its three dimensional magnetic field was simulated by using OPERA3D/TOSCA.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity JF - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 548 EP - 551 SN - 10518223 AB - The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is one of the general-purpose particle detectors presently being built for the LHC project at CERN. The superconducting CMS solenoid will produce a magnetic field of 4 T in a bore 6 m in diameter and 12.5 m long. The coil is wound from 20 high purity aluminum-stabilized NbTi conductors with a total length of 45 km. The main part of the structural integrity of the CMS coil is ensured by aluminum-alloy reinforcement welded to the high purity aluminum stabilizer of the conductor. The Rutherford type superconducting cable within the stabilizer consists of 32 copper-stabilized multifilamentary NbTi strands each with Nb barrier. The strands are optimized with respect to a high critical current density (&rg; 3000 A/mm² at 5 T, 4.2 K). Approximately 1950 km of superconducting strand has been produced from 148 extrusion billets and cabled in unit lengths of 2.65 km. All strands within a cable can unambiguously be identified by distinctive patterns of the NbTi filaments. The statistics of Ic measurements, n-value, copper RRR and (Cu + Nb)/NbTi ratio are presented. Since the strands are subjected to potentially dangerous high temperatures and mechanical strain during the different conductor production steps it was important to trace the critical current properties of the strand as it progressed through the conductor fabrication process. The paper presents results of Ic measurement, which were performed on all individual strands extracted from conductor samples taken at each step of the manufacturing process. The comparison among the measurements assured accurate quality control during the whole process of conductor production. In addition, Ic measurements in fields up to 6 T on the complete CMS conductors using the MaRiSA test facility are reported.

A superconducting magnet system is required for the arc section of the primary proton beam line to be within the space available at the site. A system with 28 combined function magnets is proposed to simplify the system and optimize the cost. The required fields for the magnets are 2.6 T dipole and 19 T/m quadrupole. The magnets are also required to have a large aperture, 173.4 mm diameter, to accommodate the large beam emittance. The magnets will be protected by cold diodes and cooled by forced flow supercritical helium produced by a 4.5 K, 2∼2.5 kW refrigerator. This paper reports the system overview and the design status.

We are investigating several approaches for fabricating multistrand cables in which the Cu is added at the final, i.e., cabling, stage of manufacture. These include mixed strand Rutherford-type cables with pure Cu strands cabled together with superconductor strands that have a low volume fraction of Cu, Cu added as a core to a Rutherford-type cable, and Cu strip added to the surface of the cable. Results on fabrication of several alternate types of Nb3Sn cables are presented. The more promising types of mixed strand and cored cables are being evaluated in short sample and small magnet tests. These results will be presented and the performance will be compared with conventional Rutherford cables where the Cu is an integral component of the superconductor strand.

Realization of a high Jc round wire made it possible to fabricate many kinds of cable developed for applications of low temperature superconductors (LTC). We successfully fabricated a 30-strand Rutherford cable using 0.8 mmd round wire. Optimization of cabling factor enables to reduce the Ic degradation at the cable edge. Ic values were about 650-750 A at 65 K in a noninductive winding condition, which corresponds to 11-13 kA at 4.2 K in self-field.

Stainless Steels (SS), Elgiloy and MP3SN were studied for their potential use as the reinforcement materials. The fabrication routes include the annealing, deformation and aging. The SS materials were tested in deformed and annealed conditions, whereas Elgiloy and MP3SN were tested in aged conditions be- cause of the strengthening effects of aging. Examination of the microstructure and mechanical properties of these materials reveals that the microstructures developed during the fabrication influence the mechanical response of the materials to the Lorentz force and other external forces. The strengthening mechanisms of these materials have been considered in details and related to the possible mechanical response to the Lorentz forces.

They have the advantage that there is no coupling between the coils of the traditional two-coil systems, and that the magnet can be built much smaller, and it has longer pulse times. The fields that can be achieved are determined by the strain limitation of the conductor, and the strength and stiffness of the reinforcement. We have investigated the material requirements for this type of magnet to define the objectives for material development. It follows that future material development activities for reliable 100 T magnets should focus on conductors with the following specifications (all values are at 77 K): a) Ultimate conductor strength of 1.2 GPa, b) Conductivity of 500 percent IACS, c) 10 percent strain to failure, d) Fatigue strength of I GPa at about 5000 full load cycles from tensile stress at peak pulse to compressive stress after the pulse of about 0.6 GPa. It is equally important to improve the reinforcement materials. At the NHMFL, we use with great success a combination of Zylon fiber and MP3SN superalloy. We have increased the isotropic strength of MP3SN at 77 K to 2.6 GPa (modulus 240 GPa), and are working on further improvements.

If successful, this will enhance the performance and reduce the cost of operation of magnets that must absorb a large amount of energy. The need for developing this technology has been seen in a number of high field magnet applications for high energy colliders, and a medium field application in the proposed Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA). The likelihood of the future use of HTS is improving because of the availability of longer and more uniform length tapes and cables and because of the ongoing construction and test experience at BNL and elsewhere. The design of a super-ferric quadrupole, that must survive the very high radiation environment of RIA, and operate at 20-40 K, is also presented.

Two programs were initially conceived: 1) The construction of a 60 T long pulse magnet energized by the 600 MJ, 540 MW generator, and 2) a high field magnet program for the 1.6 MJ/32 mF capacitor bank with an operating range of 10 kV. These magnets are designed and built at the NHMFL. Our pulse coil development has its roots in the work accomplished by the group in Leuven which served as a starting point for our technical development programs. After having established the technology, we have focused our efforts on increased reliability. Our present user magnet design is based upon the use of distributed MP35N and Zylon reinforcement. These 60 T short pulse (5.7 ms pulse rise time) and 50 T mid-pulse (40 ms pulse rise time) magnets have become the "workhorse" magnets of the Pulsed Magnetic Field User Facility since the failure of the first 60 T long pulse magnet. Coil longevities of 1500 shots, of which half are at full field, are becoming the standard. Presently, the short pulse group is engaged in several programs to increase the science opportunities at our user facility. The development activities encompass fast-cool magnet systems, allowing a shot at least every 20 minutes, the production of a new generation of user coils for higher fields, and a 100 T insert. We present a technical overview of our development programs and new coil designs, including materials development and characterization, identifying those areas critical to progress toward even more reliable and stronger magnetic fields.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity JF - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1241 EP - 1244 SN - 10518223 AB - Historically the analysis of pulsed magnets has indicated that a coil assembly comprised by a layer-by-layer graded conductor coil is nearly optimum. Additionally the layer-to-layer winding transitions, associated with monolithic coil construction, are problematic and often the source of catastrophic failure in pulsed coils. FEA analysis of transition structures has confirmed the lessons of operational experience. Additionally the layer-to-layer winding transitions present an unacceptable risk a short circuit fault to the reinforcement structure. These attributes of monolithic coil construction have limited the fields where pulsed magnets can be operated to approximately 60 T. Several operational issues arise above this field: coil reliability degrades, and the time required to cool the magnet between shots is increased, since higher field monolithic coils require large amounts of distributed internal reinforcement to limit conductor strain. We are developing a new `poly-layer' coil construction to address these engineering requirements. In this construction, each layer is wound separately on a forming mandrel, and then installed onto an assembly mandrel. Spool pieces are installed at each end to support the lead exits as they transition out of the windings. Each layer is joined in series with the next in a joint structure that is constrained in the radial and circumferential directions, but free to move with the coil in the axial direction. Furthermore, the coil reinforcement is used to support the lead in the transition region between the windings and the joint. The new design represents a change in our manufacturing template that is intended to allow development of higher field coils. This paper will report design details and the results from prototype testing.

We describe three technologies essential for the generation of the highest magnetic fields: coils wound from high-temperature superconductors (HTS) operated at liquid helium temperatures in a background field; high-power resistive magnets; and hybrid magnets, which combine the advantages of resistive and super-conducting magnets. HTS show high current densities at elevated fields confirmed so far by measurements up to 33 T. In spite of the strain limitation of the conductor, insert coils up to 3.2 T have been built at different laboratories for a total field of 23.5 T. Recently a record field of 25 T using a 5 T Bi2Sr2 CaCu2Ox superconducting insert coil has been achieved at the NHMFL. For resistive magnets, dramatic improvements in magnet design, such as the Florida-Bitter magnet, and new materials, such as the microcomposite CuAg, have made it possible that magnetic fields can now be generated that exceed the fields that hybrid magnets produced 10 years ago. Today, 33 T are provided on a routine basis with resistive magnets. The highest continuous magnetic field ever of 45 T is obtained with a new generation of hybrid magnets. It is available for scientific research in our user facility.

The technique preserves the best features of the Florida-Bitter technology that has become the international standard for resistive magnets while eliminating the slit inherent in all disk solenoids. Thus, higher current densities and average stresses can be supported.

The basic configuration will be a Series-Connected Hybrid, wherein resistive insert and superconducting outsert are connected in series and powered by a single 10-MW unit (20 kA and 500 V) of the NHMFL dc power system, a configuration with advantages for handling faults and off-normal operating conditions and with improved temporal stability. Specific design goals are 35 T, 10-ppm uniformity over a 10-mm DSV, and access for 40-mm diameter probes. By powering the superconducting outsert with 20-kA high-temperature-super-conductor (HTS) current leads, cryogenic loads are kept small, substantially smaller even than the present 45-T Hybrid. The net result is a magnet design: 1) with capability for both higher field and higher field quality than present resistive-only systems, 2) that permits simultaneous service of two or more users, 3) that is sufficiently compact to fit within the standard resistive-magnet cell, 4) whose ease of operation is comparable to resistive-only systems, and 5) whose lifetime cost (including construction and operation) can be significantly lower than comparable resistive-only systems. We discuss details of the existing conceptual design, the methodology for its creation, the perceived development needs, and the projected program to realize this system.

In one instance, accelerator dipoles will be ramped at 1 T/sec, with measurements needed to the typical level of accuracy for accelerators, ΔB/B better than 0.01%. To meet this need, we have begun development of a system containing 16 stationary pickup windings that will be sampled at a high rate. It is hoped that harmonics through the decapole can be measured with this system. Precise measurement of the time-dependent harmonics requires that both the pickup windings and the voltmeters be nearly identical. To minimize costs, printed circuit boards are being used for the pickup windings and a combination of amplifiers and ADC's for voltmeters. In addition, new software must be developed for the analysis. The paper will present a status report on this work.

This steel also serves as part of the muon detection system of CMS and accurate characterization of the magnetic flux density in the steel as elsewhere in the detector is required. Voltages induced in the flux loops during fast discharge of the solenoid will be sampled and integrated to measure the change in average flux density in the steel during the discharge. Hall probes mounted on the surface of the steel segments will provide information about the fields internal and external to the steel. In the laboratory work reported herein small iron discs with flux loops on their peripheries and hall probes on their flat surfaces are magnetized between the pole tips of a laboratory standard magnet and controlled power supply. The voltages induced in the flux loops during charging and discharging of the magnet are integrated and compared with the hall probes which sample the fields immediately external to the discs. The experimental work reported here will provide interpretation of the flux coil and hall probe measurements from the CMS magnet when it is commissioned in 2005.

Approximating the external magnetic field by its value at the location of the equivalent magnetic dipoles, the equivalent magnetic dipoles' strengths are linearly proportional to the external magnetic field, for a given time dependence of external magnetic field, and are given by the equivalent dipole polarizability matrix. The polarizability matrix and its associated equivalent dipole location are estimated from magnetic field measurements made with at least three linearly independent polarizations of external magnetic fields at the body. Uncertainties in the polarizability matrix elements and its equivalent dipole location are obtained from analysis of a linearized inversion for polarizability and dipole location. Polarizability matrix uncertainties are independent of the scale of the polarizability matrix. Dipole location uncertainties scale inversely with the scale of the polarizability matrix. Uncertainties in principal polarizabilities and directions are obtained from the sensitivities of eigenvectors and eigenvalues to perturbations of a symmetric matrix. In application to synthetic data from a magnetic conducting sphere and to synthetic data from an axially symmetric elliptic conducting body, the estimated polarizability matrices, equivalent dipole locations, and principal polarizabilities and directions are consistent with their estimated uncertainties.

The uncertainties in polarizability estimates and in the equivalent dipole location provide a quantitative measure of the performance of different configurations of transmitters and receivers. In another paper, we estimate these uncertainties using a linearized inversion. For many systems, consisting of one or more rectangular loop transmitters and a number of dipole receivers, sited on a horizontal grid, equivalent dipole depth is determined to 10% accuracy to depths approximately 20% deeper than the depths at which polarizability matrix elements can be determined to the same precision. Systems that have a lower product of rms polarizability uncertainty and square root of their number of transmitter-receiver pairs are considered more effective for the number of transmitter-receiver pairs. Among the systems studied, a system with three orthogonal transmitter loops and a three-component receiver is the most effective, for objects shallower than 0.6 times the instrument siting grid spacing, yielding an rms polarizability uncertainty 0,04 times that of a single-transmitter single-receiver system. At intermediate depths, a system with two vertical component receivers on the diagonal of a square horizontal transmitter loop is most effective for its number of transmitter-receiver pairs, yielding an rms polarizability uncertainty 0.07 limes that of a single receiver system. At depths greater than 2.5 times, the siting grid spacing a three-orthogonal loop transmitter with a single vertical component receiver is about the most effective for its number of transmitter-receiver pairs, yielding an rms polarizability uncertainty 0.08 limes that of a single-transmitter system.

The order of nodes visited along the route has a significant impact on the quality and cost of fused data, which, in turn, impacts the main objective of the sensor network, such as target classification or tracking. We present a simplified analytical model for a distributed sensor network and formulate the route computation problem in terms of maximizing an objective function, which is directly proportional to the received signal strength and inversely proportional to the path loss and energy consumption. We show this problem to be NP-complete and propose a genetic algorithm to compute an approximate solution by suitably employing a two-level encoding scheme and genetic operators tailored to the objective function We present simulation results for networks with different node sizes and sensor distributions, which demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm over two existing heuristics, namely, local closest first and global closest first methods.

A major drawback of such methods is the inability to accurately locate regions that manifest nonlinear associations with clinical variables. In this paper, we propose Bayesian morphological analysis methods, based on a Bayesian-network representation, for the analysis of MR brain images. First, we describe how Bayesian networks (BNs) can represent probabilistic associations among voxels and clinical (function) variables. Second, we present a model-selection framework, which generates a BN that captures structure-function relationships from MR brain images and function variables. We demonstrate our methods in the context of determining associations between regional brain atrophy (as demonstrated on MR images of the brain), and functional deficits. We employ two data sets for this evaluation: the first contains MR images of 11 subjects, where associations between regional atrophy and a functional deficit are almost linear; the second data set contains MR images of the ventricles of 84 subjects, where the structure-function association is nonlinear. Our methods successfully identify voxel-wise morphological changes that are associated with functional deficits in both data sets, whereas standard statistical analysis (i.e., t-test and paired t-test) fails in the nonlinear-association case.

This system uses information from the newly commissioned Central Fiber Tracker and Preshower Detectors to generate Level 1 trigger decisions. It also generates lists of seed tracks and preshower clusters that are sent to the Level 1 Muon Trigger, L2 Silicon Track Trigger, and Central and Forward Preshower Level 2 preprocessors. The system consists of modular boards which utilize field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to implement trigger algorithms. The system delivers trigger decisions every 132 ns, based on input data flowing at a maximum sustained rate of 475 gigabits per second. The first results of trigger efficiency studies are presented.

We describe the features of fast-track (FTK), a highly parallel processor dedicated to the efficient execution of a fast-tracking algorithm. The hardware-dedicated structure optimizes speed and size; these parameters are evaluated for the ATLAS experiment. We discuss some applications of high-quality tracks available to the trigger logic at an early stage, by using the LHC environment as a benchmark. The most interesting application is online selection of b-quarks down to very low transverse momentum, providing interesting hadronic samples: examples are Z0 → &bbar;, potentially useful for jet calibration, and multi-b final states for supersymmetric Higgs searches. The paper is generated from outside the ATLAS experiment and has not been discussed by the ATLAS collaboration.

We present feasibility studies of an oscillator concept using an amplifier with delayed feedback. Simulations of a 560-GHz oscillator and experimental evaluation of the concept at 50 GHz are presented. Additionally, results from various fabrication methods that are under investigation, such as X-ray lithography, electroforming, and molding (LIGA), UV LIGA, and deep reactive ion etching are presented. Observations and measurements are reported on the generation of stable single-frequency oscillation states. On varying the feedback level, the oscillation changes from a stable single-frequency state at the threshold to multifrequency spectra in the overdriven state. Simulation and experimental results on amplifier characterization and dynamics of the regenerative TWT oscillator include spectral evolution and phase stability of the generated frequencies. The results of the experiment are in good agreement with the simulations.

The simulation algorithm takes an iterative approach by alternately solving the Poisson equation and the beam trajectory equations to converge toward a self-consistent steady-state solution. This approach is similar to that employed in steady-state gun codes. However, it is well known from gun simulations that the iterative algorithm can be slow to converge. We have found the slow convergence is due to a convective numerical instability. To speed up convergence, we implemented and tested stabilization schemes based on mixing one-dimensional and 2-D Poisson potentials during the iteration cycles. These schemes are shown to accelerate convergence considerably. The fully 2-D dc space-charge model permits accurate treatment of the axial dc space-charge field in the computation of the large signal gain and efficiency, taking into account the fast variation of beam parameters along the device axis. Therefore, it can be applied to a mismatched beam with large scalloping motion. The methodology of incorporating dc space charge is general and could be incorporated in other large signal codes.

The results verify the long-standing conjecture that a frequency canceled by signal injection is composed of a component due to the injected signal and a component due to the nonlinearity of the TWT. Further- more, the structures of the solutions are exploited to explain and predict behavior for various signal injection schemes. The scenarios studied include second harmonic injection to reduce the second harmonic and enhance the fundamental, multiple harmonic injection to eliminate the sensitive output power dependence on injected phase, second harmonic injection to reduce intermodulation distortion, and multiple signal injection to reduce the intermodulation spectrum. Insights are given regarding the effectiveness of an injection depending on whether the injected signal is within or outside the linear gain bandwidth of the TWT.

These experiments were driven by the long- pulse electron beam from an accelerator with parameters as follows: voltage of -300 kV, current of 1-JO kA, and typical pulse-length of 0.5 μs. This paper reports investigations of high-power microwave generation, mode competition, and pulse shortening for the relativistic magnetron with a ceramic insulator compared to a plastic insulator. The ceramic insulator improves the vacuum by a factor of ten (to 107 torr range) and flattens the voltage of the accelerator. Relativistic magnetron performance with the ceramic insulator shows increased microwave power and pulselength over the plastic insulator. Effects of RF breakdown in the extraction wave- guide on peak microwave power and pulselength are also investigated by utilizing SF6 in one or both of the extraction waveguides.

With the current density fixed at the Child's law value, we find that the relative error of the potential at the first vertex adjacent to the cathode does not converge to zero, but rather increases as the mesh is refined. Convergence of the basic SCL emission algorithm, which depends on said error, is due instead to the increasing sensitivity of the potential to the current density. The current density converges slowly from above to the Child's law value, with a maximum error of 2.7 % and ultimately with a sublinear convergence rate of 2/3. Tests on a three-dimensional parallel plate geometry with unstructured meshes of tetrahedral elements demonstrate that in- sight from the 1-D model applies to a general-purpose code. The behavior is similar to the 1-D model, but with a maximum error of 4.3%. Thus, using an unstructured mesh instead of a smooth structured mesh introduces only a modest additional error to the beam current. Based on the analysis of the 1-D model, we present two scaled SCL emission algorithms. The first exhibits linear convergence from below. The second limits the maximum error to 0.9%. Similar scalings can be employed in general-purpose gun codes to improve the accuracy of the computed beam current.

JO - Indoor Air JF - Indoor Air Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 154 EP - 158 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09056947 AB - The prevalence of prefabricated, portable classrooms (portables) for United States public schools has increased; in California, approximately one of three students learn inside portables. Limited research has been conducted on indoor air and environmental quality in American schools, and almost none in portables. Available reports and conference proceedings suggest problems from insufficient ventilation due to poor design, operation, and/or maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; most portables have one mechanical, wall-mounted HVAC system. A pilot assessment was conducted in Los Angeles County, including measurements of integrated ventilation rates based on a perfluorocarbon tracer gas technique and continuous monitoring of temperature ( T) and relative humidity (RH). Measured ventilation rates were low [mean school day integrated average 0.8 per hour (range: 0.1–2.9 per hour)]. Compared with relevant standards, results suggested adequate ventilation and associated conditioning of indoor air for occupant comfort were not always provided to these classrooms. Future school studies should include integrated and continuous measurements of T, RH, and ventilation with appropriate tracer gas methods, and other airflow measures. Adequate ventilation has the potential to mitigate concentrations of chemical pollutants, particles, carbon dioxide, and odors in portable and traditional classrooms, which should lead to a reduction in reported health outcomes, e.g., symptoms of ‘sick building syndrome’, allergies, asthma. Investigations of school indoor air and environmental quality should include continuous temperature and relative humidity data with inexpensive instrumentation as indicators of thermal comfort, and techniques to measure ventilation rates.

Very thin PZT films with thickness below 100 nm were deposited by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on Ir bottom electrodes, and Pt, Ir, IrO 2 were covered as top electrodes thereon. The capacitors with IrO 2 top electrodes had the better opposite-state retention performance than those with Pt, Ir top electrodes. Inserting IrO 2 top electrode affected the alleviation of the size effect more in the aged capacitors than in the virgin capacitors. In addition, we also discuss problems of using IrO 2 as a bottom electrode in our PZT capacitors.

JO - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems JF - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 14 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 580 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 01291564 AB - Two contrasting behaviors have been observed for H in Si/SiO2 structures: a) Radiation experiments established that protons released in SiO2 migrate to the Si/SiO2 interface where they induce new defects; b) For oxides exposed first to high-temperature annealing and then to molecular hydrogen, mobile positive charge believed to be protons can be cycled to and from the interface by reversing the oxide electric field. First-principles density functional calculations identify the atomic-scale mechanisms for the two types of behavior and conditions that are necessary for each. Using the results of the atomic-scale calculations we develop a model for enhanced interface-trap formation at low dose rates due to space charge effects in the base oxides of bipolar devices. We find that the hole trapping in the oxide cannot be responsible for all the Enhanced Low-Dose-Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS) effects in SiO2, and the contribution of protons is also essential. The dynamics of interface-trap formation are defined by the relation between the proton mobility (transport time of the protons across the oxide) and the time required for positive-charge buildup near the interface due to trapped holes. The analytically estimated and numerically calculated interface-trap densities are found to be in very good agreement with available experimental data.

Higher phonon harmonics are often seen in resonant tunneling but not in IETS. For the case of subresonant (a.k.a. "inelastic" or "virtual") electron transport, higher harmonics are shown to be damped by unexpected small factors beyond the powers of electron-vibration coupling constant λ. We calculate explicitly for a standard model the strength of higher harmonics in inelastic transport to understand these additional small factors, which result from an orthogonality constraint. Two mechanisms greatly increase the size of secondary peaks in subresonant transport: coupling between electron transport and spatial motion of the molecule, and the "pumping" of higher vibrational modes of the molecule when vibrational excitations do not completely relax between electron transits.

A pure tilt boundary and experimentally observed extended geometrically necessary boundaries (GNBs) are constructed within the representative volume element (RVE) for multi-scale simulations. The model couples discrete dislocation dynamics analysis with continuum finite element to correct for the boundary conditions and image stress. It is shown that the right boundary condition of the RVE is critical in modeling GNBs and their long-range stresses. Effects of various numerical factors such as domain length and mesh sensitivity are also discussed. The effect of changing the spacing between two dislocation boundaries on the self-stress field and the stability, particularly in the space between the two dislocation boundaries, is presented. Relaxed configurations using dislocation dynamics show formation of a uniform network stabilized by formation of junctions and dipoles.

The controller tracks the stresses, strains and mechanical response of the incremental finite element solution to estimate the proper axial feed (end-feed) and internal pressure increments to apply in the next increment as the tube deforms. The algorithm uses the material stress–strain curve and the deformation theory of plasticity with Hill''s criterion to relate the current stress and strain increments (from the finite element model) to the next applied load increments. A controlled increment in plastic strain is prescribed for the next solution increment, and the pressure and end-feed increments are calculated to give a constant ratio of incremental axial and hoop strains. Hydroforming simulations using this method were conducted to predict the load histories for controlled expansion of 6061-T4 aluminum tubes within a conical die shape and under free hydroforming conditions. The predicted loading paths were applied in hydroforming experiments to form the conical and free-formed tube shapes. The model predictions and experimental results are compared in this paper for deformed shape, strains and the extent of forming at rupture.

The novel procedures include a more robust way to verify the position of the incident X-ray beam on the detector, an algorithm to verify that the deduced lattice basis is consistent with the observations, and an alternative approach to identify the metric symmetry of the lattice. These methods help to correct failures commonly experienced during indexing, and increase the overall success rate of the process. Rapid indexing, without the need for visual inspection, will play an important role as beamlines at synchrotron sources prepare for high-throughput automation.

The topographs recorded were not as detailed as those which can be measured with film or emulsion plates, but do show great promise. Six reflections were recorded using a set of finely spaced stills encompassing the rocking curve of each reflection. A complete topographic reflection profile could be digitally imaged in minutes. Interesting and complex internal structure was observed by this technique. The CCD chip used in the camera has anti-blooming circuitry and produced good data quality, even when pixels became overloaded.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/06//6/1/2004 VL - 95 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5949 EP - 5971 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - During the past half-century, the nuclear fuel cycle has generated approximately 1400 metric tons of plutonium and substantial quantities of the “minor” actinides, such as Np, Am, and Cm. The successful disposition of these actinides has an important impact on the strategy for developing advanced nuclear fuel cycles, weapons proliferation, and the geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste. During the last decade, there has been substantial interest in the use of the isometric pyrochlore structure-type, A2B2O7, for the immobilization of actinides. Most of the interest has focused on titanate-pyrochlore because of its chemical durability; however, these compositions experience a radiation-induced transition from the crystalline-to-aperiodic state due to radiation damage from the alpha-decay of actinides. Depending on the actinide concentration, the titanate pyrochlore will become amorphous in less than 1000 years of storage. Recently, systematic ion beam irradiations of a variety of pyrochlore compositions has revealed that many zirconate pyrochlores do not become amorphous, but remain crystalline as a defect fluorite structure-type due to disordering of the A- and B-site cations. The zirconate pyrochlores will remain crystalline even to very high doses, greater than 100 displacements per atom. Systematic experimental studies of actinide-doped and ion beam-irradiated pyrochlore, analyses of natural U- and Th-bearing pyrochlore, and simulations of the energetics of the disordering process now provide a rather detailed understanding of the structural and chemical controls on the response of pyrochlore to radiation. These results provide a solid basis for predicting the behavior and durability of pyrochlore used to immobilize plutonium. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The origin of this Kapitza resistance is analyzed directly by studying the scattering of packets of lattice vibrations of well-defined polarization and frequency from the grain boundaries. We find that scattering depends strongly on the wavelength of the incident wave packet. In the case of a high-energy grain boundary, the scattering approaches the prediction of the diffuse mismatch theory at high frequencies, i.e., as the wavelength becomes comparable to the lattice parameter of the bulk crystal. We discuss the implications of our results in terms of developing a general model of scattering probabilities that can be applied to mesoscale models of heat transport in polycrystalline systems. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

CdOxTe1-x thin films with x up to 0.015, and the energy gap reduced by 150 meV were formed by O+-implantation in CdTe followed by pulsed laser melting. Quaternary Cd0.6Mn0.4OxTe1-x and Zn0.88Mn0.12OxTe1-x with mole fraction of incorporated O as high as 0.03 were also formed. The enhanced O incorporation in Mn-containing alloys is believed to be due to the formation of relatively strong Mn-O bonds. Optical transitions associated with the lower (E-) and upper (E+) conduction subbands resulting from the anticrossing interaction between the localized O states and the extended conduction states of the host are clearly observed in these quaternary diluted II-VI oxides. These alloys fulfill the criteria for a multiband semiconductor that has been proposed as a material for making high efficiency, single-junction solar cells. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Experiment and numerical simulation both reveal that the domain structures consist of irregularly shaped domains with curved domain walls. It is shown that the elastic contribution to domain structures can be neglected in SrBi2Nb2O9 due to its small ferroelastic distortion, less than 0.0018%. Two-beam dark-field imaging using reflections unique to domains of each of the two 90° polarization axes reveal the domain structure. Phase-field simulation is based on the elastic and electrostatic solutions obtained for thin films under different mechanical and electric boundary conditions. The effects of ferroelastic distortion and dielectric constant on ferroelectric domains are systematically analyzed. It is demonstrated that electrostatic interactions which favor straight domain walls are not sufficient to overcome the domain wall energy which favors curved domains in SrBi2Nb2O9. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In these structures, the magnetization direction rotates between successive atomic layers forming a helix. At magnetic Bragg diffraction peaks, circularly polarized x rays are sensitive to the handedness of such a helix (i.e., either right or left handed). By reversing the helicity of the incident beam with phase-retarding optics and measuring the difference in the Bragg scattering, contrast between domains of opposing handedness can be obtained. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

All samples reported here were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001). We correlated our BLS results with film structure obtained from reflection high energy electron diffraction low angle x-ray reflectometry, and in situ scanning tunneling microscopy. Our results find that annealing of room temperature deposited Fe layers to 300 °C has a significant effect on both the magnetic properties and surface structure of the Fe. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Room temperature x-ray powder diffraction measurements that were performed after magnetic annealing showed that the ratio of the volume of the γ to α phase is decreased in the field-annealed sample by a factor of 2. First-principles calculations of the magnetic structure in the presence of a magnetic field are used to compute the resulting change in free energy. Analysis in terms of the phase diagram calculated with and without a magnetic field is in substantial agreement with the measurements. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A dramatic (70%) increase of magnetization was observed in the spin-reorientation interval (88–97 K). This and the temperature dependence of the spin-rotation angle are accurately described by the modified mean field theory, which uses the key fact of the magnetic anisotropy of erbium subsystem. Calculated temperature dependence of the rotation angle shows a remarkable correspondence with the experiment with no fitting parameters. Proposed model is general and can be used to analyze orientation transitions in many orthoferrites. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The rapid magnetization decay in the three-dimensional (3D) arrays suggests a relaxation mechanism than has been previously reported, perhaps associated with the existence of domain walls within large structurally ordered regions. Small angle x-ray scattering indicates the presence of such regions in the 3D arrays. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

On flat Ru(0001), Co grows into three-dimensional Co islands (dots) of ∼20–900 nm or a flat Co film network with deep holes (antidots) in truncated pyramidal shapes, which randomly distribute on the surface. When the Ru surface morphology is modified via either scratches or e-beam lithography, the dots align along the edges of the surface features (∼4–100 nm deep), and form dot chains, wires, arrays, and dots around lithographic patterns. The dots exhibit in-plane single domains with magnetic easy axis along the edges of these surface features. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We present finite-temperature micromagnetic simulations of hysteresis in Fe nanopillars with the long axis tilted at angles from 0° to 90° to the applied sinusoidal field. The field period is 15 ns, and the particle size is 9×9×150 nm. The system is discretized into a rectangular pillar of 7×7×101 spins each with uniform magnetization. At low angles, reversal begins at the endcaps and proceeds toward the center of the particle. At 90° reversal proceeds along the entire length of the particle (save at the ends). The switching field was observed to increase over the entire range of angles, consistent with recent experimental observations. A second, lower-resolution micromagnetic simulation with 1×1×17 spins, does not agree with experiment, but shows behavior very similar to that of the Stoner–Wohlfarth model of coherent rotation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Furthermore, this noncollinear ordering depends on the direction of the iron moment.

Similar to recent experiments which showed a maximum magnetoresistance of 4.5%, the system modeled here had its growth axis along the (1010) axis and the magnetic easy axis in the plane of the film. Orientations of the magnetic moments in each Co layer as a function of external field were calculated using a self-consistent mean-field method, and were used as input parameters in the calculation of the conductivity tensor. The conductivity tensor was calculated via the Kubo–Greenwood linear response formalism within the layered-Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker approach to density functional theory. The total magnetoresistance is explained as a sum of anisotropic magnetoresistance and giant magnetoresistance. A calculated spin–flop transition at low fields has obvious consequences on the calculated magnetoresistance. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We report the evolution of the magnetism with Fe thickness tFe, growth temperature, and the effect of the inclination of the substrate orientation on the magnetic anisotropy. The films are superparamagnetic (tFe≈5 monolayer, ML), ferromagnetic (tFe>15 ML), or coexistent (tFe≈10 ML). The effect of inclination of the substrate is small in the superparamagnetic region and substantial in the ferromagnetic region. Fe thin films grown on the inclined substrate have a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with the magnetic easy axis parallel to the step edge. This uniaxial magnetic anisotropy might be derived from the effective demagnetizing field due to the magnetic charge distribution at the corrugated surface. The strength of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy decreases as the growth temperature increases. The dependence of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy on growth temperature is caused by the change of growth mechanism, from smooth to rough with an increasing of growth temperature. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Fe8Br8 has an S=9 excited state located at about 24 K (17 cm-1) above the S=10 ground state. The zero-field (D and E) parameters of the S=9 state differ from those of the S=10 state by 7%–8%. The band gap for Mn12–acetate was found to be 0.37 eV, while that for Fe8Br8 was 0.73 eV. Details of the experimental techniques used (EPR, NMR, isotope-labeling, four-point conductivity) are provided, together with the discussions of the results in the context of other experimental techniques, and theoretical calculations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The experimental data strongly suggest that these coatings confer a strain that propagates through the material and enhances the effect of the magnetic field in the metamagnetic phase transition range. A simplified Landau theory of coupled magnetic and structural transitions was developed for Gd5(Si1-xGex)4 and used to analyze the thermodynamics and phase transitions of this material under the influence of magnetic fields and elastic strain fields. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Above the transformation temperature Tc, the material is paramagnetic with a monoclinic structure; below Tc, it is ferromagnetic with an orthorhombic structure. Another unusual feature of this phase transformation is that an applied magnetic field can increase Tc by 5 K per tesla. In this study, the magnetic-structural transformation in single crystal Gd5Si2Ge2 was triggered by holding the sample at a temperature just above Tc, then using an applied field to increase Tc beyond the sample temperature, thereby inducing the magnetic-structural transformation. The dynamics of this field-induced phase transformation at various temperatures just above Tc were observed by measuring the magnetization as a function of time. This magnetization change is caused by the first order phase transformation which is distinctly different from the magnetization reversal which one observes in conventional magnetic relaxation experiments. The transformation could be modeled as a thermal activation process with a single energy barrier of height 4.2±0.2 eV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

For the 11.3% alloy, λ100=110 ppm, a sixfold increase above that of α-Fe. For the 6.1% alloy, λ100=81 ppm, ∼40% and ∼170% greater than λ100 of comparable Fe–Ga and Fe–Al alloys, respectively, for H=15 kOe. Large differences exist between the values of λ100 and λ111 (λ100>0, λ111<0) and their temperature dependencies. Elastic constants, c11, c12, and c44, from 4 to 300 K were obtained on the same Fe–Be alloys. From these measurements, the magnetoelastic energy coefficients b1 and b2 were calculated. While the magnitudes of the magnetostrictions λ100 and λ111 are widely different, the magnitudes of b1 and b2 are within a factor of 2. The Fe–Be alloys are highly anisotropic magnetostrictively, elastically, and magnetoelastically. For Fe88.7Be11.3 at room temperature λ100/λ111, 2c44/(c11-c12), and b1/b2 are -6.6, 3.55, and -1.86, respectively. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/06//6/1/2004 VL - 95 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 6945 EP - 6947 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - We report results of thermal expansion (TE) and magnetostriction (MS) measurements on a single crystal sample of Gd5(Si0.5Ge0.5)4 prepared by the Bridgman method. TE and MS were measured along the c axis by the strain gauge method and the temperature was controlled using a closed cycle helium refrigerator. From the TE measurements the magnetic structural phase transition temperature was found to be 259.5 K on cooling and 261.5 K on heating. The abrupt change in strain and the temperature hysteresis indicate that it is a first order transition. MS measurements were conducted at 15, 258, and 265 K. At 15 K, the magnetostriction amplitude was 3–4 ppm, whereas at 258 K it was 100 ppm. At 265 K, which is just above the Curie temperature, a giant magnetostriction of 2000 ppm was found. This unusual behavior is due to the fact that the external magnetic field can increase the transition temperature above 265 K, resulting in a first order magnetic/structural phase transition. The results reveal that giant magnetostriction in Gd5(Si0.5Ge0.5)4 only occurs as a result of the magnetic/structural transformation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The extracted domain-specific hysteresis loops reveal that the magnetization of the domain parallel to the field is strongly pinned, while those of other domains rotate continuously. In comparison with the micromagnetic simulation, the hysteresis loop on the pinned domain indicates a possibility of the coexistence of the square rings with the vortex and onion states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The two sections have different magnetic shape anisotropies and thus different coercive fields. Since the sample has two different magnetic layers (soft and hard) and two different anisotropies (thick and thin widths), this patterned system has more than two magnetic configuration states depending on the applied field strength. To probe local magnetization from the two different sections, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements were done on the PSV wire with a microfocused x-ray beam. Measurements were done on the buried hard layer, from which magnetic information cannot be obtained by surface-sensitive techniques. The XMCD experimental results are compared with micromagnetic simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This theory is based on a “law of approach” but the underlying equations have been generalized to include linear and nonlinear terms which are analogous to those in the well-known Rayleigh law of magnetization. It is shown that the generalized theory can be applied to materials with negative magnetostriction, such as nickel, and that the stress dependent model parameters can be determined from experimental measurements. It has been found that the results show improved agreement with experimental observation compared with the more restricted previous exposition of the model. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Easy axis and hard axis hysteresis loops show a strong uniaxial anisotropy. The structural origin of the anisotropy is revealed by atomic force microscopy. The magnetization switching process was measured by polarized neutron reflectometry. The system exhibits biquadratic coupling, since the experimental remanence differs from that calculated by a model considering only bilinear coupling. The dependence of the critical fields on top ferromagnetic layer thickness is measured. A fit including both bilinear and biquadratic coupling qualitatively agrees with the results. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The model is defined by the Hamiltonian. [This symbol cannot be presented in ASCII format] We fix t d=-1 be the energy scale. When t ƒ=0, previous studies [Phy. Rev. B 63, 184 428 (2001)] showed that the system could be in partially saturated ferromagnet phase for low concentrations of conduction electrons. In the noninteracting limit, anonzero t ƒ changes the ƒ-band from being flat to dispersive. By calculating the ground state energy as a function of totals pin S we demonstrate that the inclusion of ƒ-band dispersion (t ƒ≠0) could destabilize the ferromagnetic phase depending on values of t ƒ and μ ƒ. Both t ƒ and μ ƒ have profound effects on the shape of the fermi surface and hence on the magnetic properties of the system, exemplified by the calculation of the fourier transform of the spin-spin correlation functions. Antiferromagnetic correlation is induced by the ƒ-band dispersion.

Peaks observed in the INS spectra at ∼8 and ∼27 meV with incident neutron energies between Ei=30 and 60 meV and at a temperature T=10 K correspond to transitions from the ground state to the two excited states, respectively. The wave vector and temperature dependence of these peaks are consistent with CEF excitations. Fits of the data to a CEF model yield the CEF parameters B20=-0.80 meV, B40=0.059 meV, and |B44|=0.137 meV corresponding to an energy level scheme: Γ7(1)(0)[=0.487|±5/2>-0.873|∓3/2>], Γ7(2)(8.6 meV,100 K), and Γ6(24.4 meV,283 K). © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The dynamic response for Gd5Si2Ge2 at 15 and 150 K consists of two magnetic excitations extending up to 40 meV. From the x-ray powder diffraction data, Gd4YSi1.9Ge2.1 is monoclinic at room temperature, space group P1121/a with the 4e site at x=-0.0092(3), y=0.1005(2), z=0.1808(4) almost exclusively occupied by Gd (97%), while the remaining four Gd/Y sites are randomly occupied by Gd and Y. The magnetization measurements show that the ordering temperature of Gd4YSi1.9Ge2.1 is about half that of Gd5Si2Ge2, as the former orders ferromagnetically at 149 K with an effective paramagnetic moment of 7.87μB. The observed magnetic dynamic response for the Gd4YSi1.9Ge2.1 at 7 K is also different from the nondiluted compound, whereby the positions and intensities of the magnetic excitations have decreased markedly with respect to Gd5Si2Ge2. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The observed NQR frequency at an In(1) site varies linearly with lattice parameter and dopant concentration for Y- and La-substituted systems. For the samples of LaMIn5 (M=Co,Rh,Ir) and YRhIn5, T1-1’s are proportional to the temperature, which means the system is in the Fermi liquid state in a wide temperature range. On the other hand, in Ce0.1La0.9RhIn5 and Ce0.5Y0.5RhIn5, T1-1’s have power-law temperature dependences (close to T1/4), which are expected to be from non-Fermi-liquid behavior near a quantum critical point. For Ce0.5La0.5RhIn5 and Ce0.25La0.75RhIn5, T1-1’s stay temperature independent below 4.2 K and the observed linewidths of 115In become broader with decreasing temperature. This behavior may be associated with a short-range magnetic order of Ce expected from the macroscopic measurements. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The prediction of the stress dependent hysteresis of the tunneling magnetoresistance R is done by the energetic model (EM), minimizing the total magnetization work which consists of the Zeeman energy density, of magnetocrystalline and stress anisotropy of the magnetization rotation processes, and of reversible and irreversible contributions of domain wall displacements. Furthermore, the law of approach to saturation and the initial susceptibility relate the parameters of the EM to the effective anisotropy energy which has to be overcome for a magnetization reversal. The calculated R(H) curves are in good aggreement with the measurements, allowing several predictions of the MTJ parameters as magnetostriction constant, stress (strain) sensitivity and hysteresis, and misalignment of the easy axis. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We find that the easy axis orientation is neither perpendicular nor in-plane with respect to the sample surface. We also find that the direction of incline is strongly correlated with the step direction, and that there is no such slanted magnetic anisotropy axis in films grown on a nonmiscut Si substrate. Therefore, we conclude that the slanted magnetic anisotropy axis is caused by the steps in the 4°-miscut Si(111) substrate. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Antiferromagnetic ordering is observed with a TN of 152.3 K and an exponent β of 0.148±0.01 that suggests 2d Ising behavior. The spin-wave excitations, measured for the neutron momentum transfer q perpendicular to the ferromagnetic planes at 2 K, show a gap of 2.3±0.2 meV at the zone center [0.5 0 0.5]. The dispersion near zone center yielded the spin-wave stiffness coefficient DSW of ∼100±10 meV Å2 which is twice the value found in the isostructural A-type antiferromagnet LaMnO3. The double-exchange interaction, introduced by hole doping, enhances DSW in Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3. The spin wave dispersion at low q fits the dispersion of the Heisenberg model with nearest neighbor exchange interaction and single ion anisotropy. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Similar magnetic domain structures in LSMO films thicker than 40 nm were observed by magnetic force microscopy and were also seen with photoemission electron microscopy. Recent transport measurements, in conjunction with this result, suggest a dead layer at the interface, not at the surface. When varying the temperature from below the Curie temperature TC to above, the magnetic domains disappeared. These domains nucleated uniformly across the film when the temperature was subsequently lowered, but their positions were unrelated to the initial domains or to surface defects. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Two samples with different preparation histories were studied. We find that the generic features of the ordered states, such as their short-range, glassy nature and the spin incommensurability, are sample-independent. At the same time, some subtle features of the ordered phases, such as the correlation lengths, differ. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Thick epitaxial CoxZn1-xO films on Al2O3(012) substrates were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using a liquid precursor delivery system. All were co-doped with Al. Comparative analysis of magnetization, resistivity, and magnetoresistance measurements, performed in the temperature range 2.5–300 K, is presented. At small thickness of Co layers in the multilayer samples, these structures are diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) superlattices, with properties close to the epitaxial films. A crossover from DMS to discontinuous magnetic metal/semiconductor multilayers is observed with increasing metal content in the multilayers. This leads to changes in conduction mechanisms, with increasing contribution of quasithree-dimensional or quasitwo-dimensional intergranular hopping, and superparamagnetism. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It has been revealed that anomalous magnetic properties of the nanoparticles covered with the residues deviate greatly from those of the ones without residues. In comparison with the “naked” Co3O4 nanoparticles, for the “covered” sample, the saturation field, coercivity, loop shift and average permanent magnetic moments per Co3O4 particle are enhanced remarkably. It is believed that the anomalous magnetic properties and their significant difference are caused by the presence of residues at the surface, consistent to the reported results in literature. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The films were made by cosputtering the elements onto single crystal MgO(001) substrates. The substrates were coated with 1 nm Pt/1 nm Fe bilayer seeds prior to alloy deposition. Both the bilayer seed and the alloy film were deposited at 620 °C. Lattice and order parameters were obtained by x-ray diffraction. Film compositions and thicknesses were determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, and room-temperature magnetocrystalline anisotropies were determined with a torque magnetometer. It was found that the order parameter had a maximum for the film composition closest to the equiatomic composition, whereas the magnetocrystalline anisotropy increased as the Fe content increased from below to slightly above the equiatomic composition. These results imply that nonstoichiometric FePt compositions, with a slight excess of Fe, may in fact be preferred for applications that require high anisotropy. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We have sequenced a 10.4-kbp extension of the dit cluster in Pseudomonas abietaniphila BKME-9, containing genes involved in abietane diterpenoid biodegradation. The ditQ gene was found to encode a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, P450dit, and to be homologous to the tdtD gene of Pseudomonas diterpeniphila A19-6a. Knocking out ditQ had little effect on growth of BKME-9 on abietic acid but severely impaired growth on dehydroabietic acid (DhA) and palustric acid (PaA), increasing doubling times from 3.8 to 15 h on DhA and from 5.6 to 18.5 h on PaA. A xylE transcriptional fusion showed that transcription of ditQ was induced by a range of diterpenoids. Substrate binding assays of P450dit expressed in Escherichia coli revealed that DhA binds to the enzyme and yields a type I binding spectrum with a Kd of 0.4 µM. These results indicate that P450dit is involved in the metabolism of DhA and PaA and are consistent with its putative role in converting DhA to 7-hydroxy-DhA. Finally, an amino acid sequence identity of greater than 72% and conserved gene arrangement support the hypothesis that the dit gene cluster of P. abietaniphila BKME-9 and the tdt cluster of P. diterpeniphila A19-6a contain functional homologues.

Under the Born–Oppenheimer adiabatic approximation with nonadiabatic corrections, the antisymmetric Raman tensor is much weaker than the symmetric counterpart, but becomes significantly stronger as the input frequency (or the sum-frequency in SF generation) approaches electronic resonance. We verify the theory with experimental results obtained from infrared-visible doubly resonant sum-frequency generation from an isotropic solution of chiral molecules. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Thus, the formally infinitely many equations that determine the parameters of the two coexisting phases can be mapped onto a system of coupled nonlinear equations in these moments. We present the formalism and demonstrate the power of this approach for two systems; we calculate the full phase diagram in terms of cloud and shadow curves as well as binodals and discuss the distribution functions of the coexisting daughter phases and their charge distributions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The first step in the decomposition process is an intermolecular proton abstraction mechanism that leads to the formation of CH3NO2H+ and the aci ion H2CNO2-. This event is also confirmed to occur in a fast annealing simulation to a final temperature of 4000 K at ρ=2.20 g/cm3. An intramolecular hydrogen transfer that transforms nitromethane into the aci acid form, CH2NO2H, accompanies this event. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmation of chemical reactivity with bond selectivity for an energetic material near the Chapman–Jouget state of the fully reacted material. We also report the decomposition mechanism followed up to the formation of H2O as the first stable product. We note that similarities in the global features of reactants, intermediates, and products of the reacting fluid seem to indicate a threshold for similar chemistry in the range of high densities and temperatures reported herein. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The total moisture content of TR55 in the as-received state and after 20–30 min of vacuum pumping in the load-lock prior to TPD was measured to be on the order of 0.35 wt%. Physisorbed H2O and chemisorbed H2O account for about 13.2 and 86.8%, respectively, of the 0.35 wt% measured moisture content. H2O outgassing models based on the kinetics measured from TPD experiments suggest that loosely bound chemisorbed water outgasses in a dry environment slowly but continuously over many decades at or a little above room temperature. However, physisorbed water can be easily pumped out in a matter of hours at around 400 K.

A pulse-shaped split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), modified for low-impedance material testing, was used to ensure that the samples deformed under dynamic equilibrium and at a nearly constant strain-rate. Dynamic stress equilibrium in the specimen was monitored for each experiment using piezoelectric force transducers mounted close to the specimen end-faces. Quasi-static experiments were also conducted to demonstrate rate effects of the foam, as well as to study its failure behavior. It was determined that the compressive strength of the foam increased with strain rate up to a transition strain rate of between 550 and 1030s-1. For experiments conducted at strain rates above this transition range, strain-rate-induced damage caused the compressive strength of the foam to decrease. Based on the experimental results, a constitutive model with strain-rate and damage effects was developed, which described the test data well.

The objective of this study was to examine the potential use of the radon data to estimate large-scale formation properties of fractured tuffs. This objective was examined by developing a numerical model, based upon the characteristics of the ESF and the Topopah Spring welded (TSw) tuff unit, capable of predicting radon concentrations for prescribed ventilation conditions. The model was used to address two specific issues. First, it was used to estimate the permeability and porosity of the fractures in the TSw at the length scale of the ESF and extending tens of meters into the TSw, which surrounds the ESF. Second, the model was used to understand the mechanism leading to radon concentrations exceeding a specified level within the ESF. The mechanism controlling radon concentrations in the ESF is a function of atmospheric barometric fluctuations being propagated down the ESF along with ventilated air flow and the slight suction induced by the ventilation exhaust fans at the South Portal of the ESF. These pressure fluctuations are dampened in the TSw fracture continuum according to its permeability and porosity. Consequently, as the barometric pressure in the ESF drops rapidly, formation gases from the TSw are pulled into the ESF, resulting in an increase in radon concentrations. Model calibration to both radon concentrations measured in the ESF and gas-phase pressure fluctuations in the TSw yielded concurrent estimates of TSw fracture permeability and porosity of 1×10-11 m2 and 0.00034, respectively. The calibrated model was then used as a design tool to predict the effect of adjusting the current ventilation-system operation strategy for reducing the probability of radon gas concentrations exceeding a specified level.

On sufficiently small scales of space and time, flow in such media will be subject to approximate capillary equilibrium locally, which provides a basis for approximating the effective hydraulic conductivity of a composite multi-layer medium in terms of the conductivities of the individual layers. Equations for the hydraulic conductivity tensor in “composite medium approximation” (COMA) are given in a coordinate system aligned with bedding. Hydraulic conductivity parallel to bedding is generally larger than in the perpendicular direction. The anisotropy depends on the spread of the conductivity distribution, and tends to increase for dryer conditions. The COMA model was implemented in a multi-phase flow simulator and tested by comparison with high-resolution simulations in which all layering heterogeneity is resolved explicitly. Under favorable conditions, COMA is found to accurately represent sub-grid scale flow and transport processes, providing a practical method for simulating field-scale flow and transport in layered media. The approximation improves when layers are thinner, and when flow rates are smaller.

The compositional depth profiles of the AlN films were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES); hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl) impurities were determined from Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and elastic recoil detection-time of flight (ERD-TOF). To study the formation of the interfacial layer, cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were obtained of AlN films before and after annealing. As-deposited films were annealed using a rapid thermal process (RTP) at 700°C for 5 min in ambient N2. The AlN films were nitrogen-rich, and the concentrations of H and Cl incorporated in the AlN were 2.01 and 0.25 at%, respectively. An approximately 0.4-nm-thick interfacial layer was generated after the annealing process, and the nitrogen-rich AlN films contributed to the formation of the interlayer.

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements of both [Cnmim]3[α-PW12O40] salts (for n=2 and 5) were performed in acetonitrile containing either tetra-n-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate, abbreviated TBAPF6, or the corresponding [Cnmim]BF4 ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes. The results are compared with the corresponding data obtained in the neat [Cnmim]BF4 ILs without addition of other electrolytes. The effects of countercation and supporting electrolyte on the voltammetry of the Keggin ion α-[PW12O40]3- are interpreted as resulting from an amalgamation of isomerization, ion-association, and redox processes. The combination of the unique solvent/electrolyte properties of ILs with the well-known electrochemistry of molecular polyoxometalates (POMs) like the Keggin anion leads to redox behavior that may have impact on the research and technology of catalytic and energy-storage phenomena.

The flow generally consists of two sequential domains, an entry domain where the meniscus is attached to the top corners of the channel followed by a recession domain where the meniscus retreats along the sidewalls toward the channel bottom. Analytical solutions applicable within each domain are matched at their interface. Results demonstrate that tapered channels provide substantially better cooling capacity than straight channels of rectangular or triangular cross section, particularly under opposing gravitational forces. A multiplicity of arbitrarily tapered channels can be microfabricated in metals using LIGA, a process involving electrodeposition into a lithographically patterned mold.

Spectra of PSII cores isolated from plants and cyanobacteria reveal marked changes in energies and intensities of the sharp features associated with P680. Low-temperature, illumination-induced electrochromic shifts in PSII cores allow identification of an excitation localized on pheopytin-a (pheo a) in D1. A weak interaction between an exciton component of P680 and the D1 pheo a, both located near 684 nm, is suggested. MCD spectra of 5- and 6-chlorophyll a D1/D2/cytochrome b559 preparations provide links to photoactive pigments in intact PSII cores.

We report persistent spectral hole burning at 1.7 K in the Qy(0,0) origin and Qy(1,0) vibrational satellite bands of chlorophyll a (chl a) in CP43 isolated from higher plants. The isolated CP43 is known to possess two quasi-degenerate ‘red’ trap states. We find persistent hole burning in the primary trap exhibits a photoconversion property, with a photoproduct located well outside its inhomogeneous distribution. This photoconversion of trap chl a molecules also occurs with non-selective white light illumination. The contribution of the ‘red’ states to CP43 absorption is discussed.

Solid state NMR of aligned bilayer samples is being increasingly used to characterize helical membrane protein structures. Traditional spectroscopic methods have difficulty distinguishing between helices with i to i+3 (310), i to i+4 (α), and i to i+5 (π) hydrogen bonding topology. Here, we show that resonance patterns in PISEMA spectra simulated for these different helices show unique and striking features. The size and shape of these Polar Index Slant Angle (PISA) wheels, as well as the resonances per turn and clockwise versus counter-clockwise sequential connectivity of the resonances demonstrate how these different helical structures, if present as a uniform structure, will be readily distinguished, and characterized.

This paper presents a novel scheme to enhance the sensitivity of MQMAS using signals from multiple coherence transfer pathways. The enhancement can be obtained in two ways. The first method uses the multiplex phase cycling to acquire MQMAS spectra from various coherence transfer pathways simultaneously. An addition of spectra collected with no extra time enhances the efficiency of the experiment. The second method, soft-pulse-added-mixing, is designed based on a complete alias of coherence transfer pathways. By properly fixing the soft-pulse phase, signals from various coherence transfer pathways can add constructively resulting higher signal intensities. The two methods are demonstrated for sensitivity enhancement with samples of spin—3/2 and 5/2.

SN - 00222461 AB - A high conductivity graphite loam developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) owes its unique thermal properties to the highly aligned graphitic structure along the cell walls. The material exhibits a peak in thermal conductivity at temperatures similar to that of highly ordered natural graphite, indicating the loam has an extremely graphitic nature. This paper explores the graphitic structure of the loam and attempts to correlate the morphology of the ligaments with the bulk thermal properties, up to 182 W/m·K. First the manufacturing process of the foam and the resulting material properties are reported. Then, several models for representing the bulk materials properties are reviewed. Examination by optical image analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine the structure of the graphite foam. In addition, crystallographic structure determined by X-ray diffraction is reported. A simple two parameter model of the morphology was developed and then used to predict the overall thermal properties of the loam based on the assumed highly ordered ligament structure. This new model correlated (within 5%) thermal conductivity to density of several foams, provided the average ligament conductivity could be accurately represented. From the new model and the material characterization data, it was determined that the average ligament thermal conductivity of the loam is >1650 W/m·K at room temperature, and increases to more than 2300 W/m·K at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

Following Manton, we also compute, as an illustration, the asymptotic interaction energy between these soliton solutions in one particular case.

The fabrication sequence uses few additional process steps and only one additional masking layer compared to a MEMS-only technology. The process flow forms the MOSFET gate electrode using the first level of mechanical polycrystalline silicon, while the MOSFET source and drain regions are formed by dopant diffusions into the substrate from subsequent levels of heavily doped poly that is used for mechanical elements. The process yields devices with good, repeatable electrical characteristics suitable for a wide range of digital and analog applications.

These mirrors may be actuated through large angles at low voltage and low current. Multiple coils on the backs of the mirrors interact with permanent magnetic fields to provide two-axis orthogonal actuation. A custom package brings the MEMS mirror array and magnets into close proximity. Actuation is linear versus drive current on both axes, and displays negligible charging and drift. These mirrors have achieved greater than 10° mechanical rotation per mA in each axis. The mirror rotation angle is hysteresis free to less than the 0.01° measurement accuracy.

The LIGA test mechanism studied in this paper is a ratchet drive mechanism consisting primarily of pawls, cams and springs, ranging in size from about one-half millimeter to tens of millimeters, of various nickel alloys fabricated using the LIGA process. To assemble the test mechanism, subassemblies are made by inserting force-fit pins into stacks of piece-parts. These pins are cut from 170 μm wire and range from 500 to 1000 μm in length. Human insertion of these pins is extremely difficult due to their small size and tolerances required to perform the force-fit operation. This paper describes the tooling to permit fabrication, bulk handling and force-fit insertion of pins with the operator-guidedautomation required to achieve micron-scale tolerances using hybrid force/position control algorithms.

The present study applies the focused ion beam (FIB) tool to the characterization of nanoscale structures for scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The strength of this method is its ability to manufacture samples that cannot be produced using traditional means. The films of nanoparticles examined here are examples of such systems; the films are found to be not fully dense, composed of chemically heterogeneous areas and mechanically different from the substrate. Distinct advantages of the application of the FIB for characterization of nanoscale structures are highlighted for several nanoparticle structures. This successful application of FIB techniques provides a pathway to integrate the study of nanoscale production techniques and their resulting structure–property relationships.

The principal bands observed were ν1+ν2 (at 1561 cm-1), ν1+ν4 (at 1594 cm-1), ν3+ν4 (at 1918 cm-1), and 3ν3 (at 4136 cm-1). Except for 3ν3, these bands are very complicated because of (a) the Coriolis coupling between ν2 and ν4, (b) the Fermi resonance between ν1 and 2ν4, (c) the Fermi resonance between ν1 and 2ν2, (d) ordinary l-type resonance that couples levels that differ by 2 in both the k and l quantum numbers, and (e) the vibrational l-type resonance between the A1′ and A2′ levels of ν3+ν4. The unraveling of the complex pattern of these bands was facilitated by a systematic approach to the understanding of the various interactions. Fortunately, previous work on the fundamentals permitted good estimates of many constants necessary to begin the assignments and the fit of the measurements. In addition, the use of hot band transitions accompanying the ν3 band was an essential aid in fitting the ν3+ν4 transitions since these could be directly observed for only one of four interacting states. From the hot band analysis we find that the A1′ vibrational level is 3.50 cm-1 above the A2′ level, i.e., r34=1.75236(7) cm-1. In the case of the 3ν3 band, the spectral analysis is straightforward and a weak Δk=±2, Δl3=±2 interaction between the l3=1 and l3=3 substates locates the latter A1′ and A2′ “ghost” states 22.55(4) cm-1 higher than the infrared accessible l3=1 E′ state.

Consistent with published determinations of the barrier to internal rotation of the methyl group, bands belonging to the trans isomer are very congested while those belonging to the cis isomer are more tractable. A total of 634 lines have been assigned in the ν8 vibrational band of the cis isomer. These lines and 32 microwave lines have been globally fit to a Watson-type Hamiltonian with an rms deviation of 0.00044 cm-1. An additional 150 lines were also assigned but were not included in the fit because they were split by 0.001–0.005 cm-1, much larger than previously reported torsional or hyperfine splittings.

In this paper we revisit TCP connection migration for purposes of server survivability against malicious denial-of-service attacks. We present a protocol that allows an on-going TCP connection to be migrated from one server to another. This migration is performed in a secure manner such that the protocol itself cannot be exploited for malicious attacks. Further the migration can be performed even in the case where the original server is compromised. The protocol has been designed so as to allow interoperability with legacy TCP protocols. It is intended to be the transport layer foundations over which survivable applications can be built.

A polymorph of K2Te4O9 in space group P21/c with a tetragonal lattice (a=7.821 Å, b=16.590 Å) is suggested which explains all the features of the observed diffraction patterns. This model of the ceramic phase has the cubic ordering of the cations that is indicated by the X-ray diffraction patterns, but has reasonable bond lengths and angles for the TeOx polyhedra and predicts the additional features that appear in the neutron diffraction data. The composition of the crystalline phase also explains the observed phase separation behavior. This new description of crystallization in the potassium niobate tellurite system has implications for understanding the non-linear optical response of the glass ceramic.

Some RPC systems support parallel execution of software routines with simple modes of parallelism. Some RPC systems statically choose the configuration of resources for parallel execution even before the parallel routines are invoked remotely by the end user. These policies of the existing systems prevent them from being used for remotely solving computationally intensive parallel applications over dynamic computational Grid environments. In this paper, we discuss a RPC system called GrADSolve that supports execution of parallel applications over Grid resources. In GrADSolve, the resources used for the execution of parallel application are chosen dynamically based on the load characteristics of the resources and the characteristics of the application. Application-level scheduling is employed for taking into account both the application and resource properties. GrADSolve also stages the user''s data to the end resources based on the data distribution used by the end application. Finally, GrADSolve allows the users to store execution traces for problem solving and use the traces for subsequent solutions. Experiments are presented to prove that GrADSolve''s data staging mechanisms can significantly reduce the overhead associated with data movement in current RPC systems. Results are also presented to demonstrate the usefulness of utilizing the execution traces maintained by GrADSolve for problem solving.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 108 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 4873 EP - 4877 SN - 10895639 AB - Magnesocene (biscyclopentadienylmagnesium) is a common precursor used for the p-type doping of GaN and other group III nitride materials. Unfortunately, difficulties remain with predictably controlling the incorporation of Mg during metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) film growth, which often exhibits poorly understood “memory effects.” Although the formation of a reaction product between magnesocene and ammonia has been previously speculated, one has never been experimentally isolated or identified. We have spectroscopically observed and identified, for the first time, the adducts formed between magnesocene and ammonia. Density functional theory (DFT) quantum chemistry calculations have also been performed on the system to determine the structures and energetics of the reaction products. It was found that ammonia can form condensable Lewis acid-base complexes with magnesocene in both 1:1 and 2:1 ratios (i.e., NH3-MgCp2 and (NH3)2-MgCp2) via nucleophilic attack of NH3 at the positively charged Mg center of MgCp2. Adduct formation is reversible, and the 1:1 and 2:1 products can be converted to one another by controlling the NH3 partial pressure. The formation and condensation of both adducts at room temperature is the probable parasitic source that leads to many of the observed Mg incorporation difficulties during the p-type doping of group III nitride materials.

The results of quantum chemical calculations suggest that electron vertical detachment energies (VDE) of 1.6-1.9 eV correspond to anionic structures in which a proton has been transferred from the carboxylic group of the formic acid to the O8 atom of uracil or thymine. Smaller values of VDE (0.8 to 1.3 eV) correspond to chemically untransformed complexes, in which anionic uracil or thymine interacts through two hydrogen bonds with the carboxylic group of the intact formic acid. The recorded spectra and the results of quantum chemical calculations suggest that both nucleic acid bases undergo barrier-free proton transfer in anionic complexes with formic acid. The difference in experimental spectra of UF- and TF- provides an indication that the methyl group of thymine could make a difference in the intermolecular proton transfer.

The compound 4-cyano-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione has the shortest symmetrical O-H···O hydrogen bond yet reported, at 239.3 pm. Neutron crystallography reveals the hydrogen-bonded proton to be nearly centered between the two oxygens, with a highly elongated thermal ellipsoid. Inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the normal and isotope labeled molecule reveal a hydrogen-bond vibrational frequency at 46.0 meV (371 cm-1). This frequency is too low to be compatible with a single-minimum potential and indicates a low-barrier double minimum. The temperature dependence of the NMR properties confirms the existence of a thermally accessible vibrationally excited state for the bond. Because other short hydrogen bonds show similar NMR behavior, it is likely that no “strong” hydrogen bond of this sort has yet been discovered.

Comparison of the XANES data for the powder sample, uncycled electrode, and cycled electrodes 7SG and 9SG reveals that the Fe ions are octahedrally coordinated and in the Fe2+ state. Even after repeated charging and discharging, the structure of the LiFePO4 cycled electrodes (7SG, cycled 64 times, and 9SG, cycled 21 times) did not change and hence the material possesses very desirable characteristics for an electrode. This makes it an excellent choice for long cycle life Li-ion battery applications.

Compatibility of the deterministic synthesis of vertically aligned nanofibers with conventional microfabrication techniques enables the development of relatively complex, functional multilevel devices that may be produced efficiently in large numbers. The vertical orientation of nanofibers provides a basis for small volume electroanalyses in probing regions elevated above the planar substrate, which can enable applications including electroanalysis within and around live cell matrixes, high aspect ratio probing structures for scanning electrochemical microscopy, and channel-resident electrodes with high capture efficiency for electrochemical detection of microfluidic chemical separations.

Compared to static light scattering and membrane osmometry, the chromatographic method requires significantly less protein. To interpret retention-time data, it is necessary to account for multibody interactions between a mobile lysozyme molecule and immobilized lysozyme molecules on the support surface. The interaction between lysozyme molecules may be described by a potential of mean force that contains hard-sphere, electrostatic, and square-well contributions. Square-well depths from chromatographic data are in semiquantitative agreement with those from osmotic second virial coefficients from static light scattering measurements.

All of the RE-titanates were found to be stable in enthalpy with respect to their oxides. In the pyrochlore series, Lu2Ti2O7 was least stable in enthalpy (ΔHf-ox at 298 K=-56.0±4.0 kJ/mol); the most stable materials were Gd-, Eu-, and Sm2Ti2O7 with ΔHf-ox at 298 K=-113.4±2.7, -106.1±4.2, -115.4±4.2 kJ/mol, respectively. In general, as the radius ratio of the A- to B-site cations, RA/RB, decreases, the pyrochlore structure becomes less stable. The trend of ionic radius of the RE3+ cation vs. ΔHf-ox at 298 K is non-linear and approximately parallels the increasing “resistance” to ion-beam-induced amorphization as RA/RB decreases.

Ettringite is formed if sufficient CaSO4·2H2O is present in the mixture. Ettringite is converted to monosulfate when all CaSO4·2H2O is consumed in the synthesis of ettringite. The reactions were investigated in the temperature range 25–170°C using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. This technique allows the study of very fast chemical reactions that are observed here under hydrothermal conditions. A new experimental approach was developed to perform in situ mixing of the reactants during X-ray data collection.

The kinetics of this disordered to ordered phase transformation have been determined and suggest that the layered compound nucleates and grows epitaxially out of the disordered nitride via a two-dimensional transformation mechanism in which cation ordering takes place at the interface between the two structures. Results from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis were used to identify the interfacial relationship between the disordered and ordered phases. In combination with our kinetic data, this information implies that ordering occurs through a short-range, interfacially controlled diffusional process.

The structural basis for the improved Cs+ selectivity in the niobium analogs was investigated through a series of solid-state magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR experiments. Changes in the local environment of the Na+ and Cs+ cations in both CST and Nb-CST materials as a function of weight percent cesium exchange were investigated using 23Na and 133Cs MAS NMR. Framework changes induced by Cs+ loading and hydration state were investigated with 29Si MAS NMR. Multiple Cs+ environments were observed in the CST and Nb-CST material. The relative population of these different Cs+ environments varies with the extent of Cs+ loading. Marked changes in the framework Si environment were noted with the initial incorporation of Cs+, however with increased Cs+ loading the impact to the Si environment becomes less pronounced. The Cs+ environment and Si framework structure were influenced by the Nb-substitution and were greatly affected by the amount of water present in the materials. The increased Cs+ selectivity of the Nb-CST materials arises from both the chemistry and geometry of the tunnels and pores.

This method is based upon the spatial Fourier transform of the seismic displacement-discontinuity (SDD) boundary conditions (also called linear slip interface conditions), and therefore, called the wave-number-domain SDD method (wd-SDD method). The resulting boundary conditions explicitly show the coupling between plane waves with an incident wave number component (specular component) and scattered waves which do not follow Snell's law (nonspecular components) if the fracture is viewed as a planar boundary. For a spatially periodic fracture compliance distribution, these boundary conditions can be cast into a linear system of equations that can be solved for the amplitudes of individual wave modes and wave numbers. We demonstrate the developed technique for a simulated fracture with a stochastic (correlated) surface compliance distribution. Low- and high-frequency solutions of the method are also compared to the predictions by low-order Born series in the weak and strong scattering limit.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 115 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3059 EP - 3067 SN - 00014966 AB - This study investigates the performance of a frequency domain viscoacoustic full wave form nonlinear inversion to obtain high resolution images of velocity and attenuation. An efficient frequency domain implementation is applied that consists of performing a series of single frequency inversions sweeping from low to high frequency. A cascaded inversion was adopted in which the real part of the velocity is first imaged using the phase information, then the quality factor (Q) is imaged using the amplitude information. Tests with synthetic data indicate that our approach yielded better images than the simultaneous determination of the real and imaginary parts of the complex velocity. The method is applied to laboratory data obtained in a water tank with suspended acrylic bars. Broadband 200 kHz data are obtained for a crosshole configuration with a computer-controlled scanning system and piezofilm source and detector. The velocity image produced by the full wave form inversion is compared to a curved ray travel time tomography velocity image, and was observed to possess higher resolution and more precise locations of the acrylic bars. The Q image shows a lower resolution than the velocity image, but recovers the correct Q for acrylic. This method can be applied for geophysical applications targeted to soil, unconsolidated rocks, and marine sediments and also nondestructive evaluation and medical applications.

Up to 625 plants, representing ∼44% of the nameplate capacity of all coal-fired plants, could switch. If all switched, more than $8.8 billion additional capital would be required and the cost of electricity would increase by up to $5.9 billion per year, depending on levels of plant derating. Coal switching would result in sulfur dioxide (SO2)emissions reduction of 4.5 million t/yr. Increase in cost of electricity would be in the range of 0.31-0.73 cents per kilowatt-hour. Average cost of S emissions reduction could be as high as $1298 per t of SO2. Up to 367 plants, or 59% of selected plants with 32%of 44% nameplate capacity, could have marginal cost in excess of $1000 per t of SO2. Up to 73 plants would appear to benefit from both a lowering of the annual cost and a lowering of SO2 emissions by switching to the PRB coal.

With this type of instrument, high analyte spatial resolution is possible in three dimensions with ng/g limits of detection and minimal sample consumption. Here, simultaneous detection is used to eliminate the correlated noise that plagues the ablation process. This benefit allows analyses to be performed with single laser pulses, resulting in improved depth resolution, even less sample consumption, and improved measurement precision. The new instrument includes an LA sample-introduction system coupled to an ICP ionization source and a Mattauch-Herzog mass spectrograph (MHMS) fitted with a novel array detector. With this instrument, absolute limits of detection are in the tens to hundreds of fg regime and isotope-ratio precision is better than 0.02% RSD with a one-hour integration period. Finally, depth-profile analysis has been performed with a depth resolution of 5 nm per ablation event.

An impediment to the use of this tool has been the difficulty of distinguishing crosslinked peptide pairs from non-crosslinked peptides, and from the products of side reactions. We describe the use of a commercially available biotinylated crosslinking reagent, sulfo-SBED, that allows affinity-based enrichment of crosslinked species. An intramolecular crosslink is prepared using the peptide neurotensin as a model system. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra show the predicted crosslinking product, as well as several side products. Finally, we describe the optimized enrichment of biotinylated species, and reduction of non-specific binding, for a batch-mode affinity separation based on immobilized monomeric avidin.

This study investigates how bio-aerosol chemical composition governs the EIP values of specific components and the overall features of the spectra from the bio-aerosol mass spectrometry (BAMS). EIP values were determined for a series of amino acid, dipicolinic acid, and peptide aerosol particles to determine what chemical features aid in ionization. The spectra of individual amino acids and dipicolinic acid, as well as mixtures, were examined for extent of fragmentation and the presence of molecular ion dimers, which are indicative of ionization conditions. Standard mixtures yielded information with respect to the significance of secondary ion plume reactions on observed spectra. A greater understanding of how these parameters affect EIP and spectra characteristics of bio-aerosols will aid in the intelligent selection of viable future biomarkers for the identification of bio-terrorism agents.

The interfaces were modified through controlled addition of pores in samples prepared by the sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and mercury porosimetry analysis showed that all specimens are single phase having similar microstructures and differing only by the volume fraction of pore. ρ(T,H) and Z(ω,T) data revealed that all samples undergo a metal-insulator transition at T∼175 K. In addition, the Z(ω,T) data indicate two well defined contributions to the electrical resistivity. The ρ(T,H) data exhibit features of colossal magnetoresistivity CMR phenomenon but were found to be independent of porosity. The combined results suggest that the CMR effect is mainly associated with percolation of metallic regions and weakly dependent on sample morphology.

The statistical density evolves through Burgers vector-conserving reactions based in dislocation mechanics. The geometric density evolves due to the divergence of dislocation fluxes associated with the inhomogeneous nature of plasticity in crystals. Integration of the density-based model requires additional dislocation density/density-flux boundary conditions to complement the standard traction/displacement boundary conditions. The dislocation density evolution equations and the coupling of the dislocation density flux to the slip deformation in a continuum crystal plasticity model are incorporated into a finite element model. Simulations of an idealized crystal with a simplified slip geometry are conducted to demonstrate the length scale-dependence of the mechanical behavior of the constitutive model. The model formulation and simulation results have direct implications on the ability to explicitly model the interaction of dislocation densities with grain boundaries and on the net effect of grain boundaries on the macroscopic mechanical response of polycrystals.

Hence, in the present study, expression of the gus-tagged genes in 12 Tn5-gus mutants of the soil microbe Pseudomonas putida PNL-MK25 were examined under various conditions chosen to mimic the soil environment: low carbon, phosphate, nitrate or oxygen, and in the rhizosphere. Based on their expression profiles, three nutrient-responsive mutant (NRM) strains, NRM5, NRM7 and NRM17, were selected for identification of the tagged genes. In strain NRM5, expression of the glutamate dehydrogenase (gdhA) gene was increased 4·9–26·4-fold under various low-nutrient conditions. In NRM7, expression of the novel NADPH : quinone oxidoreductase-like (nql) gene was consistently amongst the highest and was synergistically upregulated by low-nutrient and anoxic conditions. The cyoD gene in NRM17, which encodes the fourth subunit of the cytochrome o ubiquinol oxidase complex, had decreased expression in low-nutrient conditions but its absolute expression level was still amongst the highest. Additionally, it was independent of oxygen availability, in contrast to that in Escherichia coli.

The residual array is then fit by a second order polynomial, and the location having the minimum residual – the optimum alignment location – is determined analytically from the polynomial. This method naturally interpolates between the discrete pixels of the alignment mark and template images. The method is robust and can be used effectively with signal-to-noise ratios as low as -4 dB. Its performance is enhanced by appropriate choice of mark material, with Au marks with a signal-to-noise ratio of 0.48 dB yielding a factor of two. Alignment repeatabilities of ±2 nm were obtained using 5 nm Cr/50 nm Au marks with a 5 nm pixel. Using a 10 nm pixel, accuracies of 4.3 nm, 3σ were achieved with Au/Cr marks while 360 nm of Si topography yielded repeatabilities of 14.8 nm, 3σ or 19.7 nm, 3σ with a 100 nm resist coating. The technique was employed in the fabrication of a zone plate using two aligned exposures. Overlay values better than 5 nm were observed.

Integration of single 31P atoms with control gates and single electron transistor (SET) readout structures is addressed in a silicon-based approach. Results on electrical activation of low-energy (15 keV) P implants in silicon show a strong dose effect on the electrical activation fractions. We identify dopant segregation to the SiO2/Si interface during rapid thermal annealing as a dopant loss mechanism and discuss means to minimize it. Silicon nanowire SET pairs with nanowire width of 10–20 nm are formed by electron-beam lithography in SOI. We present initial results from Coulomb blockade experiments and discuss issues of control gate integration for sub-40 nm gate pitches.

These Pu-enriched regions were examined with analytical transmission electron microscopy combined with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). The enriched region also contained U, Am, Ru, Zr, but only minor enrichment of rare earth elements. The Pu, possibly as Pu(V) according to EELS measurements, was dispersed within re-precipitated uranium oxide (identified as U3O8) nano-crystals between U(VI) secondary phases and the CSNF surface. The U, Pu, and Am enrichment was observed in the corrosion products with tests on different nuclear fuels. This may have implications for the long-term behavior of CSNF under storage in a geologic waste repository. Furthermore, there may be an increased potential for the generation of Pu-bearing colloids from this type of weathered CSNF.

JO - Molecular Psychiatry JF - Molecular Psychiatry Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 9 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 557 EP - 569 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 13594184 AB - The involvement of dopamine in drug reinforcement is well recognized but its role in drug addiction is much less clear. Imaging studies have shown that the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse in humans are contingent upon large and fast increases in dopamine that mimic but exceed in the intensity and duration those induced by dopamine cell firing to environmental events. In addition, imaging studies have also documented a role of dopamine in motivation, which appears to be encoded both by fast as well as smooth DA increases. Since dopamine cells fire in response to salient stimuli, the supraphysiological activation by drugs is likely to be experienced as highly salient (driving attention, arousal conditioned learning and motivation) and may also reset the thresholds required for environmental events to activate dopamine cells. Indeed, imaging studies have shown that in drug-addicted subjects, dopamine function is markedly disrupted (decreases in dopamine release and in dopamine D2 receptors in striatum) and this is associated with reduced activity of the orbitofrontal cortex (neuroanatomical region involved with salience attribution and motivation and implicated in compulsive behaviors) and the cingulate gyrus (neuroanatomical region involved with inhibitory control and attention and implicated in impulsivity). However, when addicted subjects are exposed to drug-related stimuli, these hypoactive regions become hyperactive in proportion to the expressed desire for the drug. We postulate that decreased dopamine function in addicted subjects results in decreased sensitivity to nondrug-related stimuli (including natural reinforcers) and disrupts frontal inhibition, both of which contribute to compulsive drug intake and impaired inhibitory control. These findings suggest new strategies for pharmacological and behavioral treatments, which focus on enhancing DA function and restoring brain circuits disrupted by chronic drug use to help motivate the addicted subject in activities that provide alternative sources of reinforcement, counteract conditioned responses, enhance their ability to control their drive to take drugs and interfere with their compulsive administration.Molecular Psychiatry (2004) 9, 557-569. doi:10.1038/sj.mp.4001507 Published online 6 April 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Molecular Psychiatry is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We found that 16 of these systems were in a low, or much reduced, accretion state. Of those, six were not detected in X-rays. This suggests that in any survey of polars, around half will be in a low accretion state. We tested if there was a bias towards certain orbital periods: this is not the case. Of the 10 systems that were detected at low but significant rates in X-rays, eight showed significant variability in their X-ray light curves. This implies that non-uniform accretion still takes place during low accretion epochs. The bolometric luminosity of these systems is ∼1030 erg s−1, two orders of magnitude less than for systems in a high accretion state. The X-ray spectra show no evidence of a distinct soft X-ray component. However, the X-ray and UV data imply that such a low-temperature component exists: its temperature is low enough for its flux distribution to move outside the bandpass of the X-ray instruments.

These equations typically are solved with first-order-accurate upwind schemes, which are very diffusive; with second-order-accurate centered schemes, which are highly oscillatory; or with more sophisticated second-order schemes that are computationally costly if many quantities must be transported [e.g., multidimensional positive-definite advection transport algorithm (MPDATA)]. Here an incremental remapping scheme, originally designed for horizontal transport in ocean models, is adapted for sea ice transport. This scheme has several desirable features: it preserves the monotonicity of both conserved quantities and tracers; it is second-order accurate except where the accuracy is reduced locally to preserve monotonicity; and it efficiently solves the large number of equations in sea ice models with multiple thickness categories and tracers. Remapping outperforms the first-order upwind scheme and basic MPDATA scheme in several simple test problems. In realistic model runs, remapping is less diffusive than the upwind scheme and about twice as fast as MPDATA.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 4 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1017 EP - 1023 SN - 15306984 AB - Hybrid nanocomposites that electronically link TiO2 nanoparticles to DNA oligonucleotides were developed. The linking of biomolecules with inorganic components was achieved by using bridging enediol ligands, such as dopamine (DA), which facilitate hole transfer across the interface, establishing efficient crosstalk between the biomolecule and metal oxide nanoparticles. The inherent programmability of oligonucleotides builds recognition properties into the hybrid system, allowing selective binding of nanoparticles to targeted molecules. The inorganic nanoparticles are inherently photoresponsive and therefore serve as a source of photogenerated charges that act as reporters of the electronic properties of the biomolecules. These photoactive bioinorganic TiO2/DA/DNA triads are capable of complex photo chemistries such as light induced manipulation of biomolecules and their switching functions. Consequently, light induced extended charge separation in these systems was found to be a fingerprint of DNA oligonucleotide hybridization.

By comparing the calculated broadening of the s and s-p band peaks and the energy of surface dangling bonds to the measured DOS, we identify the most likely structure of these nanoparticles. We propose that, in contrast to recent interpretations, small 2-3 nm germanium nanoparticles prepared by gas-phase aggregation have a distorted diamond structure core due to effects of thermal reconstructions of the surface.

The interfacial capillary force present during the evaporation of a nanocrystal suspension forms the basis of the assembly mechnism. Our results demonstrate for the first time that macromolecule size particles down to 2-nm diameter and complex nanostructures such as nanotetrapods can be effectively organized by the capillary interaction. This approach integrates the merits of bottom-up solution-processed nanostructures with top-down lithographically prepared devices and has the potential to be scaled up to wafer size for a large number of functional nanoelectronics and nanophotonics applications.

These fungi use extracellular oxidative enzymes that are also able to transform related aromatic compounds found in explosive contaminants, pesticides and toxic waste. We have sequenced the 30-million base-pair genome of Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain RP78 using a whole genome shotgun approach. The P. chrysosporium genome reveals an impressive array of genes encoding secreted oxidases, peroxidases and hydrolytic enzymes that cooperate in wood decay. Analysis of the genome data will enhance our understanding of lignocellulose degradation, a pivotal process in the global carbon cycle, and provide a framework for further development of bioprocesses for biomass utilization, organopollutant degradation and fiber bleaching. This genome provides a high quality draft sequence of a basidiomycete, a major fungal phylum that includes important plant and animal pathogens.

At the distal evolutionary extreme, comparing the human genome to that of non-mammal vertebrates such as fish has proved to be a powerful filter to prioritize sequences that most probably have significant functional activity in all vertebrates.

JO - Nature Reviews Immunology JF - Nature Reviews Immunology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 4 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 445 EP - 456 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 14741733 AB - The process of signalling through receptors of the immune system involves highly connected networks of interacting components. Understanding the often counter-intuitive behaviour of these networks requires the development of mathematical and computational models. Here, we focus on the application of these models to understand signalling through immune receptors that are involved in antigen recognition. Simple models, which ignore the details of the signalling machinery, have provided considerable insight into how ligand-receptor binding properties affect signalling outcomes. Detailed models, which include specific molecular components and interactions beyond the ligand and receptor, are difficult to develop but have already provided new mechanistic understanding and uncovered relationships that are difficult to detect by experimental observation alone. They offer hope that models might eventually predict the full spectrum of signalling behaviour.

Color-opponent inputs from cone-selective parvocellular (P) pathway neurons with center–surround receptive fields were subtracted with a short relative delay, yielding a small transient input in response to a white spot. This transient input was amplified by BT-like stimuli, modeled as a thin dark bar followed by full-field illumination. The narrow bar produced maximal activation of the P-pathway surrounds but only partial activation of the P-pathway centers. Due to saturation, subsequent removal of the bar had little effect on the P-pathway surrounds, whereas the transient input from the P-pathway centers was amplified via disinhibition. Responses to BT-like stimuli became weaker as surround sensitivity recovered, producing an effect analogous to the progression of perceived BT colors. Our results suggest that the BT-illusion arises because cone-selective neurons convey information about both color and luminance contrast, allowing the two signals become confounded.

The model included superficial and deep pyramidal cells plus four types of inhibitory neurons. An electroencephalogram (EEG) simulator was attached to the model to validate model behavior and to determine the contributions of inhibitory and excitatory neuronal populations to the EEG signal. We examined effects of overall excitation and inhibition on activity patterns in the network, and found that the network-bursting patterns occur within a narrow range of the excitation–inhibition space. Further, we evaluated synchronization effects produced by gap junctions during synchronous and asynchronous states.

The Gaussian regularizing prior is obtained by calculation of the sample mean and covariance matrix for the equivalent moments of realistic simulated cortical activity. We compare the regularized multipole localization framework to the classical dipole and general multipole source estimation methods by evaluating the ability of all three solutions to localize the centroids of physiologically plausible patches of activity simulated on the surface of a human cerebral cortex. The results, obtained with a realistic sensor configuration, a spherical head model, and given in terms of field and localization error, depict the performance of the dipolar and multipolar models as a function of variable source surface area (50–500 mm2), noise conditions (20, 10, and 5 dB SNR), source orientation (0–90°), and source depth (3–11 cm). We show that as the sources increase in size, they become less accurately modeled as current dipoles. The regularized multipole systematically outperforms the single dipole model, increasingly so as the spatial extent of the sources increases. In addition, our simulations demonstrate that as the orientation of the sources becomes more radial, dipole localization accuracy decreases substantially, while the performance of the regularized multipole model is far less sensitive to orientation and even succeeds in localizing quasi-radial source configurations. Furthermore, our results show that the multipole model is able to localize superficial sources with higher accuracy than the current dipole. These results indicate that the regularized multipole solution may be an attractive alternative to current-dipole-based source estimation methods in MEG.

The most common geometry is a pair of parallel planes of detector modules. They subtend a larger solid angle around the breast than conventional PET cameras, and so have both higher efficiency and lower cost. Extensions to this geometry include encircling the breast, measuring the depth of interaction (DOI), and dual-modality imaging (PEM and X-ray mammography, as well as PEM and X-ray guided biopsy). The ultimate utility of PEM may not be decided by instrument performance, but by biological and medical factors, such as the patient to patient variation in radiotracer uptake or the as yet undetermined role of PEM in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Two-dimensionally segmented semi-conductor detectors along with pulse-shape analysis allow to obtain three-dimensional positions and energies of individual gamma-ray interactions. By employing gamma-ray tracking procedures it is possible to determine the scattering sequence in the detector and ultimately to deduce the incident direction of gamma rays without the use of a attenuating collimator. These advanced gamma-ray tracking-based Compton cameras are able not only to image gamma-ray sources with higher sensitivity than collimator-based systems but can increase the sensitivity in finding gamma-ray sources over non-imaging detectors, particularly in complex radiation fields.We have implemented a Compton camera built of a single double-sided strip HPGe detector with a strip pitch size of 2 mm. A three-dimensional position resolution of 0.5 mm at 122 keV by using simple pulse-shape analysis is achieved. We have implemented image reconstruction procedures for search scenarios, which are of interest for national security applications. In addition, we have developed reconstruction procedures to optimize image quality which potentially finds applications in other areas as well.

It has observed more than 250 GRBs so far. It is currently localizing 25 - 30 GRBs per year, and has localized 43 GRBs to date. Twenty-one of these localizations have led to the detection of X-ray, optical, or radio afterglows, and as of now, 11 of the bursts with afterglows have known redshifts. HETE-2 has confirmed the connection between GRBs and Type Ic supernovae, a singular achievement and certainly one of the scientific highlights of the mission so far. It has provided evidence that the isotropic-equivalent energies and luminosities of GRBs are correlated with redshift, implying that GRBs and their progenitors evolve strongly with redshift. Both of these results have profound implications for the nature of GRB progenitors and for the use of GRBs as a probe of cosmology and the early universe. HETE-2 has placed severe constraints on any X-ray or optical afterglow of a short GRB. It is also solving the mystery of “optically dark” GRBs, and revealing the nature of X-ray flashes.

Since the transition is a result of appearance of carriers due to oxygen doping, their concentration can be inhomogeneous leading to patches of antiferromagnetic and nonmagnetic metallic phases. The concentration of dopant atoms in the patches is described by a Gaussian distribution, which defines the average staggered magnetization of the substance. It is assumed that although the magnetic periodicity is defined by the location of copper atoms, and hence, is the same in all patches of a single-crystalline sample, the directions of the staggered magnetization are random. Only, when the concentration of magnetic patches reaches the percolation threshold, 1/2, the direction becomes ordered through the whole sample. Comparison with experimental data suggests that the effectiveness of the dopant, defined, as an average increase of carriers per an additional dopant atom is smaller than 1.

The plume instability modes and flow dynamics are explored as a function of grid resolution with and without the use of subgrid scale (SGS) models. LES results reproduce well-established varicose puffing mode instabilities as well as secondary “finger-like” azimuthal instabilities leading to the breakdown of periodically shed toroidal vortices. Simulation results of time-averaged velocity and concentration fields show excellent agreement with experimental data collected from Sandia’s FLAME facility using particle image velocimetry and planar laser induced fluorescence measurement techniques. For locations very near the base of the plume, i.e., X/Dp<0.5, the LES overpredicts the measured root-mean squared streamwise velocity and concentration and, in addition, is found to be highly sensitive to grid resolution. The cause of these discrepancies is attributed to unresolved buoyancy-induced vorticity generation on resolved scales of fluid motion that is currently not explicitly treated in the SGS turbulence models used for the LES. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

L. Luxon and L. G. Davis, Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)] plasmas that have a strong core pressure gradient and reduced anomalous transport. They show that the differences in toroidal rotation velocities agree with predictions of neoclassical transport theory. The toroidal rotation velocities are measured via charge exchange recombination (CER) spectroscopy of the impurity species. Taking into account the non-negligible effect of energy dependent charge exchange cross sections, quantitative agreement is found between the measured and predicted difference in toroidal rotation velocities, including the strong Z dependence. The predicted difference between the measured impurity rotation velocity and the main ion rotation velocity can be substantial and therefore care should be taken in using quantitative results from impurity rotation measurements and applying them to the bulk plasma. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

When the source is arranged to create two prominences with the same helicity (co-helicity), it is observed that helicity transfer from one prominence to the other causes the receiving prominence to erupt sooner and faster than the transmitting prominence. When the source is arranged to create two prominences with opposite helicity (counter-helicity), it is observed that upon merging, prominences wrap around each other to form closely spaced, writhing turns of plasma. This is followed by appearance of a distinct bright region in the middle and order of magnitude higher emission of soft x rays. The four-electrode device has also been used to change the angle of the neutral line and so form more pronounced S-shapes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

SN - 1063780X AB - This paper reviews the many recent advances at the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at the University of Michigan in multi-MeV ion beam generation from the interaction of short laser pulses focused onto thin foil targets at intensities ranging from 1017 to 1019W/cm2. Ion beam characteristics were studied by changing the laser intensity, laser wavelength, target material, and by depositing a well-absorbed coating. We manipulated the proton beam divergence using shaped targets and observed nuclear transformation induced by high-energy protons and deuterons. Qualitative theoretical approaches and fully relativistic two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations modeled energetic ion generation. Comparison with experiments sheds light on ion energy spectra for multi-species plasma, the dependences of ion-energy on preplasma scale length and solid density plasma thickness, and laser-triggered isotope yield. Theoretical predictions are also made with the aim of studying ion generation for high-power lasers with the energies expected in the near future, and for the relativistic intensity table-top laser, a prototype of which is already in operation at CUOS in the limits of several-cycle pulse duration and a single-wavelength spot size. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

JO - PLoS Biology JF - PLoS Biology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 2 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 795 EP - 804 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15449173 AB - In this study yeast mitochondria were used as a model system to apply, evaluate, and integrate different genomic approaches to define the proteins of an organelle. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry applied to purified mitochondria identified 546 proteins. By expression analysis and comparison to other proteome studies, we demonstrate that the proteomic approach identifies primarily highly abundant proteins. By expanding our evaluation to other types of genomic approaches, including systematic deletion phenotype screening, expression profiling, subcellular localization studies, protein interaction analyses, and computational predictions, we show that an integration of approaches moves beyond the limitations of any single approach. We report the success of each approach by benchmarking it against a reference set of known mitochondrial proteins, and predict approximately 700 proteins associated with the mitochondrial organelle from the integration of 22 datasets. We show that a combination of complementary approaches like deletion phenotype screening and mass spectrometry can identify over 75% of the known mitochondrial proteome. These findings have implications for choosing optimal genome-wide approaches for the study of other cellular systems, including organelles and pathways in various species. Furthermore, our systematic identification of genes involved in mitochondrial function and biogenesis in yeast expands the candidate genes available for mapping Mendelian and complex mitochondrial disorders in humans.

However, protein production is also subject to stochastic fluctuations, or "noise." Several recent studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coil have investigated the relationship between transcription and translation rates and stochastic fluctuations in protein levels, or more generally, how such randomness is a function of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. However, the fundamental question of whether stochasticity in protein expression is generally biologically relevant has not been addressed, and it remains unknown whether random noise in the protein production rate of most genes significantly affects the fitness of any organism. We propose that organisms should be particularly sensitive to variation in the protein levels of two classes of genes: genes whose deletion is lethal to the organism and genes that encode subunits of multiprotein complexes. Using an experimentally verified model of stochastic gene expression in S. cerevisiae, we estimate the noise in protein production for nearly every yeast gene, and confirm our prediction that the production of essential and complex-forming proteins involves lower levels of noise than does the production of most other genes. Our results support the hypothesis that noise in gene expression is a biologically important variable, is generally detrimental to organismal fitness, and is subject to natural selection.

DNA adduct formation causes alteration of the DNA (RNA) sequence since neither adenine nor guanine can normally bind to its complementary nucleotide base, thymine (uracil) and cytosine respectively. The inability to form these bonds leads to mutations in the DNA double-helix structure during DNA replication, and eventually carcinogenesis. Therefore, the capability to detect and measure PAC species such as B a P in single living cells is important for studies required to establish the limits of B a P exposure necessary for carcinogenesis. Along these lines, we have developed antibody-based optical nanoprobes capable of detecting and measuring B a P in single living cells. The results obtained in this work demonstrate the practical application of antibody-based nanoprobes for performing measurements inside single living cells with their elements and their relationships intact.

The Helmholtz free energy for an isotropic, thermorheologically simple, viscoelastic material is constructed, and quantities such as the stress and entropy are determined from the Helmholtz potential using Rational Mechanics. The constitutive theory employs a generalized strain measure and a material clock, where the rate of relaxation is controlled by the internal energy that is likewise determined consistently from the viscoelastic Helmholtz potential. This is perhaps the simplest model consistent with the basic requirements of continuum physics, where the rate of relaxation depends upon the thermodynamic state of the polymer. The predictions of the model are compared with extensive experimental data in the following companion paper.

Validation is performed over a broad range of relaxation phenomena in the glass transition region, including the temperature and rate-dependence of the stress–strain behavior through yield, volume and enthalpy relaxation, and stress relaxation during multi-step loading histories. The objective is to obtain quantitative agreement between the constitutive theory and all experimental results using one set of model parameters for each material system. The nonlinear viscoelastic formalism is shown to predict the wide range of behavior observed experimentally, indicating that the formalism does capture the essential physics of glassy polymers. Moreover, the material parameters required in the constitutive formalism can be readily obtained from independent experiments and are relatively insensitive to how these parameters are determined experimentally from the various characterization techniques.

These include two relatively unknown approaches, cross-sectional modulus profiling and NMR T2 relaxation time measurements of solvent-swelled samples, as well as three more commonly used approaches, density, gel fraction and solvent uptake. The results from each approach were compared to tensile elongation measurements, the usual standard approach for monitoring degradation of elastomers. Degradation was carried out at three temperatures and at four combined radiation plus thermal environments, all of which were selected (by theoretical modeling and later confirmed by cross-sectional degradation mapping) such that oxidation proceeded uniformly throughout the cross-section of the material. This allowed macroscopic condition monitoring measurements to be made in the absence of anomalous diffusion-limited oxidation effects. Of the techniques examined, modulus profiling, solvent uptake and NMR T2 measurements correlated extremely well with the elongation measurements and therefore showed substantial potential as CM approaches for this material. This is not unexpected since all of these techniques are sensitive to crosslinking of the material and the deterioration of the elongation is itself dominated by material hardening and thus by crosslinking.

The analysis demonstrates the primary degradation pathways to be oxidation (formation of ketones and carboxylic acids), dehydrochlorination with formation of –C&z.dbnd;C– groups, and polymer crosslinking with changes in the C–H functional groups. From the multivariate analysis, the dominant degradation pathway involves carbon–carbon double bond formation and oxidation to form ketones. The tensile properties (modulus and elongation at break) demonstrate stiffening of the material with aging time. The dynamic mechanical data show that the storage modulus and mechanical loss tangent are also strongly affected with aging due to a hardening of the material. Taken together the mechanical and ATR data indicate that in thermal aging hypalon degrades by dehydrochlorination and loss of –SO2Cl functionality with –C&z.dbnd;C– formation, oxidation, and crosslinking causing the material to harden and become brittle.

Willow energy crops are being developed in the northeast US as a fuel source for increasing biomass energy and bioproduct demands. A life cycle inventory is presented that characterizes the full cradle-to-grave energy and environmental performance of willow biomass-to-electricity. A willow biomass production model is developed using demonstration-scale field experience from New York. Scenarios are presented that mimic anticipated cofiring operations, including supplemental use of wood residues, at an existing coal-fired generating facility. At a cofiring rate of 10% biomass, the system net energy ratio (electricity delivered divided by total fossil fuel consumed) increases by 8.9% and net global warming potential decreases by 7–10%. Net SO2 emissions are reduced by 9.5% and a significant reduction in NOx emissions is expected. In addition, we estimate system performance of using willow biomass in dedicated biomass gasification and direct-fired generating facilities and demonstrate that the pollution avoided (relative to the current electricity grid) is comparable to other renewables such as PV and wind.

The two types of radiation are synchronized with each other on the femtosecond time scale and can be used for pump–probe experiments in the study of ultrafast phenomena. A possible extension to 3 fs bunches is discussed, where the CSR serves both, as a source of pump radiation and as an indicator for those bunches that are perfectly compressed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The various components and custom circuitry are integrated into a self-contained instrument by control software that runs on an embedded single-board computer (SBC), which communicates with the various instrument modules through a 48-line bidirectional TTL bus. The user interacts with the instrument via a touch-sensitive liquid crystal display unit (LCD) that provides soft buttons for user control as well as visual feedback (e.g., spectral plots, stored data, instrument settings, etc.) from the instrument. The control software manages all operational aspects of the instrument with the exception of the power management module that is run by embedded firmware. The SBC-based software includes both automated and manual library searching capabilities, permitting rapid identification of samples in the field. The use of the SBC in tandem with the LCD touchscreen for interfacing and control provides the instrument with a great deal of flexibility as its function can be customized to specific users or tasks via software modifications alone. The instrument, as currently configured, can be operated as a research-grade Raman spectrometer for scientific applications and as a “black-box” chemical identification system for field use. The instrument can acquire 198-point spectra over a spectral range of 238–1620 cm-1, perform a library search, and display the results in less than 14 s. The operating modes of the instrument are demonstrated illustrating the utility and flexibility afforded the system by the SBC–LCD control module. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We have designed and constructed a new tailpiece/sample chamber for a commercially available liquid helium cooled cryostat which overcomes difficulties related to low fluorescence signals by using thin window materials and incorporating an internal photodiode detector. With the apparatus, XAS data at the Cl, S, and Ca K edges have been collected on frozen solutions and biological samples at temperatures down to 60 K. A separate chamber has been incorporated for collecting room-temperature spectra of standard compounds (for energy calibration purposes) which prevents contamination of the cryostat chamber and allows the sample to remain undisturbed, both important concerns for studying dilute and radiation-sensitive samples. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A 10 μm source resolution in an image formed by 14 MeV neutrons is now achievable on a 25 m line-of-sight path for implosions at the Laser Mega Joule and the National Ignition Facilities. Analysis of penumbral and annular imaging techniques using this capillary array technology predicts good signal-to-noise ratios for images formed by targets yielding 1015 neutrons or more. Experimental images of individual scattered recoil ions and measurement of their resulting light distributions are presented and are well understood. Neutron imaging of deuterium-filled capsules is also found to be feasible, based on the light-yield calibration of the neutron detector. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The friction force at the disk–slider interface has been measured as a function of sliding speed while the film thickness was monitored in situ using a capacitance technique. The shear rate is calculated from the film thickness and the sliding speed. A thin film can be applied on the disk, which allows very high-shear-rate measurements at low sliding speeds with negligible viscous heating. Both disk and slider have been made of optically transparent material to allow optical measurements simultaneously with the rheological measurements. In the present mode, the apparatus is set up for simultaneous rheometery and birefringence measurements on a thin film of polymer lubricant. Rheology and birefringence measurements were made on a perfluoropolyether lubricant over a range of strain rate from 103 s-1 to greater than 106 s-1 with 800 nm, 400 nm, and 200 nm film thicknesses. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The behaviors of both contaminated materials and engineered systems are affected by environmental conditions that will continue to evolve over time as a result of such natural processes as climate change, ecological succession, pedogenesis, and landform changes. Understanding these processes is crucial to designing, implementing, and maintaining effective systems for sustained health and environmental protection. Traditional engineered systems such as landfill liners and caps are designed to resist natural processes rather than working with them. These systems cannot be expected to provide long-term isolation without continued maintenance. In some cases, full-scale replacement and remediation may be required within 50 years, at an effort and cost much higher than for the original cleanup. Approaches are being developed to define smarter containment and control systems for stewardship sites, considering lessons learned from implementing prescriptive waste disposal regulations enacted since the 1970s. These approaches more effectively involve integrating natural and engineered systems; enhancing sensors and predictive tools for evaluating performance; and incorporating information on failure events, including precursors and consequences, into system design and maintenance. An important feature is using natural analogs to predict environmental conditions and system responses over the long term, to accommodate environmental change in the design process, and, as possible, to engineer containment systems that mimic favorable natural systems. The key emphasis is harmony with the environment, so systems will work with and rely on natural processes rather than resisting them. Implementing these new integrated systems will reduce current requirements for active management, which are resource-intensive and expensive.

Existing theoretical predictions for the range of parameter values that yield stable discretizations seem to be very pessimistic when compared to the computational evidence. Motivated by this wide gap, we first examine a continuous prototype for this class of schemes. We show that the prototype is absolutely stable; i.e., it is stable for all parameter values, and is optimally accurate. We then define a new, practical variant of the well-known pressure-Poisson stabilized scheme. We prove that the new method is absolutely stable just like its continuous prototype and that it achieves optimal convergence rates with respect to the same mesh-independent norms. The new method differs from the standard pressure-Poisson stabilized method in several important aspects. First, its definition does not degrade to a penalty formulation for the lowest order nodal spaces. Second, the method is absolutely stable with respect to the natural norm for the problem, while the standard pressure-Poisson stabilized method is stable with respect to a mesh-dependent norm.

A popular ranking algorithm is the HITS algorithm of Kleinberg. It explores the reinforcing interplay between authority and hub webpages on a particular topic by taking into account the structure of the Web graphs formed by the hyperlinks between the webpages. In this paper, we give a detailed analysis of the HITS algorithm through a unique combination of probabilistic analysis and matrix algebra. In particular, we show that to first-order approximation, the ranking given by the HITS algorithm is the same as the ranking by counting inbound and outbound hyperlinks. Using Web graphs of different sizes, we also provide experimental results to illustrate the analysis.

Charge collection in capacitors and ICs can be induced by displacement currents caused by the release of charge in the substrate. The magnitude of charge collection depends on the geometry, gate surface area and oxide thickness of the device. It is mainly induced by the diffusion of carriers generated in the silicon bulk, which induces a voltage drop under the oxide surface. Carrier diffusion in low-doped silicon creates coupling effects between MOS elements separated by up to hundreds of microns. However, because of charge sharing effects, charge collection by displacement currents (by itself) does not appear to significantly affect SEU sensitivity in SOI devices. p–n junctions are far less sensitive to charge sharing effects than neighboring MOS structures.A mechanism that can significantly increase the SEU saturation cross section in SOI devices is charge release in non-ideally doped drain regions (not heavily doped throughout the silicon film). Carriers released in drain regions can drift or diffuse into the body region and be amplified by parasitic bipolar effects. By heavily doping drain junctions throughout the silicon film, drain strike sensitivity can be significantly reduced. For this case, SEU sensitivity can be limited to gate (body) strikes and by reducing parasitic bipolar effects using body ties, SOI circuits can be fabricated that are very hard to single event effects.These results have important implications on the soft-error reliability of SOI and other oxide-isolated structures, e.g., DRAMs. For SOI SRAMs, it is possible that the additive effects of charge collection by displacement currents and charge released in drain regions may lead to SEU. For trench DRAMs, the retention capacitors are particularly sensitive to charge released in the substrate. Charge collection in retention capacitors by displacement currents can lead to multiple bit upsets (MBUs) in DRAMs, thus significantly degrading the soft-error reliability of DRAMs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Solid-State Electronics is the property of Pergamon Press - An Imprint of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Despite extensive studies of the paradigm HhaI methyltransferase, initial events leading to base flipping remained elusive. Here we demonstrate that the replacement of the target C:G pair with the 2-aminopurine:T pair in the DNA or shortening of the side chain of Gln237 in the protein severely perturb base flipping, but retain specific DNA binding. Kinetic analyses and molecular modeling suggest that a steric interaction between the protruding side chain of Gln237 and the target cytosine in B-DNA reduces the energy barrier for flipping by 3 kcal/mol. Subsequent stabilization of an open state by further 4 kcal/mol is achieved through specific hydrogen bonding of the side chain to the orphan guanine. Gln237 thus plays a key role in actively opening the target C:G pair by a “push-and-bind” mechanism.

Power densities ≤3.5 W cm-2 are achievable over an area 35 x 3.175 cm. The power output of the lamp is continuously variable over a range from 1.5% to 100% of available power, and power changes can occur in <20 ms. Processing temperatures ≤3000°C can be obtained in a wide variety of processing environments, making HDI a flexible processing tool. Recently, this newly developed heating method was used to investigate selective softening, i. e. hardness reduction of 6063-T6 aluminium alloy. By changing the incident power and exposure time, the percentage reduction in hardness and softened zone size can be varied. It is shown that computer modelling can be used to predict the thermal history and the resulting heat affected zone during HDI processing. In the present work, a 50% reduction in hardness was achieved and confirmed by mechanical testing and microstructural investigation. Micrographs of softened aluminium show that Mg2Si precipitates had dissolved back into solution. This new approach allows materials to be engineered for a predetermined response to dynamic loading or other environmental situations.

SN - 09354964 AB - A simplified closure model for turbulent spectral dynamics is proposed. Beginning with an analytical closure similar to the test field model, energy transfer is modeled by replacing general triad interactions by degenerate triad interactions, resulting in a pair interaction description similar to the classical Heisenberg model. This energy transfer model is coupled to a similarly simplified time scale evolution equation. These simplifications make it possible to preserve many features of much more complex analytical closures like the direct interaction approximation and the Lagrangian renormalized approximation in a computationally tractable model. The model is tested in decaying isotropic turbulence and in forced isotropic turbulence. It is found to exhibit refined properties, including energy backscatter to large scales and the bottleneck phenomenon.

These procedures alter the state of the cell cycle for a population of cells, rather than purifying a population of cells that are in the same state. Criticism of these methods (e.g. see Cooper, this issue, pp. 266–269, ) suggests that these studies are flawed, and posits that such methodologies cannot be used to study the cell cycle because they alter the size and age distributions of the cultures. We believe that whole-culture cell cycle studies work even though they alter the size and age distributions: these cells still progress through the cell cycle and although we do not suggest that the methods are perfect, we will explain how these microarray studies have successfully identified cell cycle regulated genes and why these results are biologically meaningful.

Furthermore, as a result of this connection in his mind he believes that there are no possible manipulations that can operate on a batch culture to synchronize cells within the cell cycle, such that those cells can undergo a semblance of a normal cell cycle. His formulation of this argument is as a ‘fundamental law’, the law of conservation of cell-age order (LCCAO). The first part of this law – ‘there is no batch treatment of the culture that can lead to an alteration of the cell-age order’ – can probably be proved true, in the mathematical sense, and certainly makes intuitive sense. Unfortunately the corollaries of this law are rather suspect, drawing inferences from cell age to cell size to the cell cycle.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 40 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - The performance of six geographical information systems (GIS)-based topographic index algorithms is evaluated by computing root-mean-square errors of the computed and the theoretical topographic indices of three idealized hillslopes: planar, convergent, and divergent. In addition to these three idealized cases, two divergent hillslopes with varying slopes, i.e., concave (slopes decrease from top to bottom) and convex (slopes increase from top to bottom) are also tested. The six GIS-based topographic index algorithms are combinations of flow direction and slope algorithms: i.e., single flow direction (SFD), biflow direction (BFD), and multiple flow direction (MFD) plus methods that determine slope values in flat areas, e.g., W-M method [ Wolock and McCabe, 1995] and tracking flow direction (TFD) method. Two combinations of horizontal resolution and vertical resolution of the idealized terrain data are used to evaluate those methods. Among those algorithms the MFD algorithm is the most accurate followed by the BFD algorithm and the SFD algorithm. As the vertical resolution increases, the errors in the computed topographic index for all algorithms decrease. We found that the orientation of the contour lines of planar hillslopes significantly influences the SFD's computed topographic index. If the contour lines are not parallel to one of eight possible flow directions, the errors in the SFD's computed topographic index are significant. If mean slope is small, TFD becomes more accurate because slope values in flat areas are better estimated.

SN - 00496979 AB - The rates of Cr(VI) removal from the aqueous phase by zero-valent iron, Fe(0), was measured under flow conditions. The intent of this work was to generate removal rate coefficients that would be applicable to the Reactive Well Technology, a groundwater remediation technology that replaces the sand in a filter pack of a conventional well with a reactive material, such as Fe(0). Dissolved Cr(VI) concentration, dissolved O2 concentration, and Eh data indicated that Cr(VI) removal from the aqueous phase was mass-transfer limited. All pseudo-first-order regression fits to the data were significant (P ≤ 0.05), however, they did not capture many of the salient aspects of the data, including that the removal rate often decreased as contact time increased. As such, application of these rate coefficients to predict long-term Cr(VI) removal were compromised. The rate coefficients measured under flow conditions were comparable to those measured previously under batch conditions with significantly greater solution:solid ratios. Between the range of 20 and 100 wt-% Fe(0) in the column, there was little measurable change in the reaction kinetics. Thus, it may be possible to include sand into the reactive filter packs in the event it is necessary to increase filter pack porosity or to decrease the accumulation of secondary reaction products that may lead to filter pack plugging. Background water chemistry (0.2 M NaHCO3, distilled water, and a carbonate-dominated groundwater) had only marginal, if any, effects on reaction rate coefficients. The reaction rates measured in this study indicated that an Fe(0) filter pack could be used to lower Cr(VI) concentrations by several orders of magnitude in a once-through mode of operation of the Reactive Well Technology.

Low- and high-speed, pin-on-disk friction and wear testing of a commercial truck brake pad material against cast iron was conducted in which wear debris was collected. The sliding speed was held constant either at 0.275 or at 5 m/s, and the nominal contact pressure was varied between 0.125 and 1.25 MPa in room temperature air. In low-speed experiments, some tests were conducted with the pin in continuous sliding contact and others in which the pin specimen was raised and lowered periodically. Laser scattering examination of wear debris revealed two distinct peaks in the plot of frequency versus the mean particle size. The first peak occurs around 350 nm and does not vary with respect to the pressure and the sliding speed. The location of the second peak varies between 2 and 15 μm, depending on the pressure and the sliding speed. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of wear particles revealed particles having a high concentration of carbon, silicon, aluminum, iron, oxygen, molybdenum, and sulfur. It was also found that the continuity or discontinuity of sliding contact affects the size distribution of wear particles. In general, when the motion was discontinuous, as is the case in a repeated braking action, smaller wear particles are generated.

A newly developed 4-D NURBS-based cardiac-torso (NCAT) phantom was used to simulate the 99mTc-sestamibi uptakes in human torso with myocardial defects in the left ventricular (LV) wall. Two phantoms were generated to simulate patients with thick and thin body builds. Projection data including the effects of attenuation, collimator-detector response and scatter were generated using SIMSET Monte Carlo simulations. A large number of photon histories were generated such that the projection data were close to noise free. Poisson noise fluctuations were then added to simulate the count densities found in clinical data. Noise-free and noisy projection data were reconstructed using the iterative OS-EM reconstruction algorithm with attenuation compensation. The reconstructed images from noisy projection data show that the noise levels are lower for the FB as compared to the PH collimator due to increase in detected counts. The NCO acquisition method provides slightly better resolution and small improvement in defect contrast as compared to the CO acquisition method in noise-free reconstructed images. Despite lower projection counts the NCO shows the same noise level as the CO in the attenuation corrected reconstruction images. The results from the channelized Hotelling observer (CHO) study show that FB collimator is superior to PH collimator in myocardial defect detection, but the NCO shows no statistical significant difference from the CO for either PH or FB collimator. In conclusion, our results indicate that data acquisition using NCO makes a very small improvement in the resolution over CO for myocardial SPECT imaging. This small improvement does not make a significant difference on myocardial defect detection. However, an FR collimator provides better defect detection than a PH collimator with similar spatial resolution for myocardial SPECT imaging.

The detector module consists of 64 LSO crystals coupled on one end to a single photomultiplier tube (PMT) and on the opposite end to a 64 pixel array of silicon photodiodes (PD). The PMT provides an accurate timing pulse, the PDs identify the crystal of interaction, the sum provides a total energy signal and the Γ = PD/(PD + PMT) ratio determines the depth of interaction. We calibrate using the 176Lu natural background radiation of the LSO crystals. We determine the relative gain (K) of the PMT and PD by minimizing the asymmetry of the Γ distribution. We determine the depth dependence from the width of the Γ distribution with optimal K. The performance of calibrated detector modules is evaluated by averaging results from 12 modules. The energy resolution is a function of depth ranging from 24% FWHM at the PD end to 51% FWHM at the PMT end, and the DOI resolution ranges from 6 mm FWHM at the PD end toll nun FWHM at the PMT end.

Such efforts are well exemplified by the intense research and development work in organic and organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells. In these types of devices, the active layer is a solution-processed mixture of an electron donor phase and an electron acceptor phase. Since the blending morphology of the mixture can dramatically affect device performance, a number of methods have been pursued to obtain a favorable three-dimensional interpenetrating network in organic photocells, using for example soluble "double cable" materials or covalent or hydrogen-bonded molecular dyads or tryads.

A large and important class of Fe proteins consists of the non-heme Fe proteins, in which Fe is often six-coordinate and generally has two or more endogenous histidine ligands which is an important state in non-heme Fe proteins. However, this state is relatively difficult to investigate by EPR, normally a technique of choice for paramagnetic transition metal systems. Iron proteins is a non-Kramers ion of typically large zfs, on the order of 5-20 cm. The allowed EPR transitions thus generally appear at high frequencies, and/or at high magnetic fields.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/06/02/ VL - 126 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 6680 EP - 6691 SN - 00027863 AB - This paper provides evidence from kinetic experiments and electronic structure calculations of a significantly reduced S-H bond strength in the Mo(μ-SH)Mo function in the homogeneous catalyst model, CpMo(μ-S)2(μ-SH)2MoCP (1, Cp = n5-cyclopentadienyl). The reactivity of 1 was explored by determination of a rate expression for hydrogen atom abstraction by benzyl radical from 1 (log(kabs/M-1 s-1) = (9.07 ± 0.38) - (3.62 ± 0.58)/θ) for comparison with expressions for CH3(CH2)7SH, log(kabs/M-1 s-1) = (7.88 ± 0.35) - (4.64 ± 0.54)/θ, and for 2-mercaptonaphthalene, log(kabs/M-1 s-1) = (8.21 ± 0.17) - (4.24 ± 0.26)/θ (θ = 2.303RT kcal/mol, 2σ error). The rate constant for hydrogen atom abstraction at 298 K by benzyl radical from I is 2 orders of magnitude greater than that from 1-octanethiol, resulting from the predicted (DFT) S-H bond strength of 1 of 73 kcal/mol. The radical CpMo(μ-S)3(μ-SH)MOCP, 2, is revealed, from the properties of slow self-reaction, and exclusive cross-combination with reactive benzyl radical, to be a persistent free radical.

A design study was performed to define the optimal approach to a pCT system based on specifications for applications in proton therapy. Conceptual and detailed design of a pCT system is presented; the system consists of a silicon-based particle tracking system and a crystal calorimeter to measure energy loss of individual protons. We discuss the formation of pCT images based on the reconstruction of volume electron density maps and the suitability of analytic and statistical algorithms for image reconstruction.

This paper focuses mainly on the object-oriented real-time control and acquisition (ORCA) software that is the framework for the data acquisition system of the NCD array. Particular emphasis is given to the general purpose nature of ORCA and the manner in which it provides generic object-oriented software modules that can be configured and connected together at run-time to build general-purpose data acquisition applications. ORCA is the main graphical user interface for the NCD experiment and is used for hardware initialization, run control, data readout, and data shipping.

One of its characteristic features is a copper-on-Kapton flexible cable for power, high voltage, data transmission, and control signals that is placed directly below the silicon microstrip sensors. The dense packaging makes deadtime-less operation of the stave a challenge since coupling of bus cable activity into the silicon sensors must be suppressed efficiently. The stave design features relevant for deadtime-less operation are discussed. The electrical performance achieved with stave prototypes is presented.

Present imaging detectors have either shown position resolutions that are less than acceptable or they exhibit excessive paralyzing dead times due to the brightness of the source. A detector concept known as MicroMegas (MicroMEsh GAseous Structure) has been developed at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, for high-energy physics charged-particle tracking applications and has shown great promise for handling high data rates with a rather low-cost structure. We are attempting to optimize the MicroMegas detector concept for thermal neutrons and have designed a 1-D neutron strip detector utilizing solid converters which we have tested. In addition, we are performing research into the compatibility of various converter coatings. Our goal is to develop a manufacturable detector that could be scaled to a 1 m², 2-D array for use at the SNS and other facilities.

One promising prospect for detector development has been the neutron imaging detector consisting of a conversion foil, which produce amongst other things α and -γ particles from incident neutrons, and a position sensitive charge particle detector. In order to understand the materials chemistry between layered converters as well as to maximize the production and transmission of the daughter products, we have prepared and characterized a series of thin-films from naturally occurring isotopes of the strong neutron absorbers lithium (Li), boron (B), and gadolinium (Gd). The films have been created using a combination of sputtering and evaporation techniques. The composition of the resulting films have been investigated using EDS and RBS, while the interfacial mixing between the layers has been studied using a combination of RBS and SEM experiments. Experiments studying the aging of the detector films in the detector gas as well as alloying of Li and the film substrate, have also been undertaken and the results are reported here.

Higher granularity and intrinsically suppressed ion feedback are the major advantages of this technology. After a short discussion of these tissues, we present the design of a small and very flexible TPC prototype, whose cylindrical drift volume can be equipped with endcaps of different gas detector types. An endcap with multi-GEM readout is currently set up and successfully operated with a low-noise highly integrated front-end electronics. We discuss results of measurements with this system in high intensity particle beams at CERN, where 99.3 ± 0.2 % single-pad-row efficiency could be achieved at an effective gain of 2.5 × 10³ only, and spatial resolutions down to 63 ±3 μm could be demonstrated. Finally, these results are extrapolated to the high magnetic field in a linear collider TPC.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/06/03/Jun2004 Part 3 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1044 EP - 1048 SN - 00189499 AB - Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA, is currently developing multicoincidence systems to perform trace radionuclide analysis at or near the sample collection point for applications that include emergency response, nuclear forensics, and environmental monitoring. Quantifying radionuclide concentrations with these systems requires a library of accurate emission intensities for each detected signature, for all candidate radionuclides. While such data are readily available for single gamma-ray emissions, no signature library has been found for coincident emissions such as β - γ, γ - γ, or β - γ - γ. To meet this need, a Coincidence Lookup Library (CLL) is being developed to calculate the emission intensities of coincident signatures from a user-specified radionuclide, or conversely, to determine the radionuclides that may be responsible for a specific detected coincident signature. The algorithms used to generate absolute emission intensities and various user interfaces for the developmental CLL are described.

Phosphor tablets composed of 50% cellulose and 50% yttrium aluminum garnet doped with cerium (YAG:Ce) powders, were created using a Carver press with an applied force of 78 kN. The average 3-MeV proton N½ for the tablet samples was 11.6 and 36.6 times smaller than equivalent values for the paint and crystal forms of YAG:Ce, respectively. It is quite apparent that the application of a large preparation force damages some of the YAG:Ce grains which reduces the N½. The fluorescence efficiency of the tablets was also less than that measured for the other forms of YAG:Ce.

We have successfully fabricated 3.5 mm thick crossed-strip detectors with active areas of 40 × 40 mm² with a 2 mm strip pitch. These detectors utilize new contact technology consisting of a boron implanted p-type contact and an amorphous silicon (α-Si) n-type contact. Good energy resolution and excellent strip separation was obtained from both contacts at relatively high operating temperatures. An energy resolution of 2.1 keV FWHM at 122 keV was obtained for the α-Sistrip at temperatures up to 200 K and for the boron strip at temperatures up to 240 K. Measurements of the charge sharing between the strips were also performed. When the detector was flood illuminated with 60 keV gamma-rays, a small signal deficit was observed for events in which the signal was shared between two adjacent strips. The amount of deficit depended on the contact type, strip geometry and the operating temperature.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/06/03/Jun2004 Part 3 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1158 EP - 1162 SN - 00189499 AB - This paper studies how processor failures affect the data flow of the Level 1 Trigger in the BTeV experiment proposed to run at Fermilab's Tevatron. The failure analysis is crucial for a system with over 2500 processing nodes and a number of storage units and communication links of the same order of magnitude. This paper is based on models of the L1 Trigger architecture and shows the dynamics of the architecture's dataflow. The dataflow analysis provides insight into how system variables are affected by single component failures and provides key information to the implementation of error recovery strategies. The analysis includes both short-term failures from which the system can recover quickly and long-term failures which imply a more drastic error-recovery strategy. The modeling results are supported by behavioral simulations of the Li Trigger processing BTeV's (WANT Monte Carlo data.

This makes it convertible to a thermal neutron detector by covering it with a boron-rich material and detecting the 478-keV gamma rays resulting from the 10B(n, α)7Li* reaction. However, the 374 barn thermal capture cross section ofnat Hg, makes the detector itself an attractive absorber, and this has been exploited previously. Since previous work indicates that there are no low-energy gamma rays emitted in coincidence with the 368-keV capture gamma from the dominant 199Hg(n, γ)200Hg reaction, only the 368-keV capture gamma is seen with any efficiency with a relatively thin (few millimeter) detector. En this paper, we report measurements of neutrons via capture reactions in a bare mercuric iodide crystal and a crystal covered in 10B-loaded epoxy. The covered detector is an improvement over the bare detector because the presence of both the 478- and 368-keY gamma rays removes the ambiguity associated with the observation of only one of them. Pulse height spectra, obtained with and without lead and cadmium absorbers, showed the expected gamma rays and demonstrated that they were caused by neutrons.

The digital gamma finder (DGF-4C) a single-width CAMAC module produced by X-Ray Instrumentation Associates (XIA), was used to extract pulse height, pulse shape, and signal rise time information. Data analyses using the extracted information allowed measuring the μe and μeTe in selected CZT samples. An almost linear relationship was observed for the signal rise time as a function of the inverse bias. This observed linear relationship was the basis for determination of μe using a simple linear fit. The measured signal amplitude was also used to determine μeTe using the Hecht formulation. Repeated measurements confirmed the consistency of the method in determining μe and μeTe.

Despite the improvements in detector active volume and spectral response that have been achieved with the coplanar-grid technique, the full potential of such detectors is still far from being realized. There exists a number of material, device, and electronics factors that limit detector performance and yield. Some of the major factors are identified and examined in terms of their origins and the magnitude of their effects on energy resolution.

The high transition temperatures (high-Tc) of the copper oxide superconductors has led to collective spin excitations being proposed as the mediating excitations in these materials. The mediating excitations must be strongly coupled to the conduction electrons, have energy greater than the pairing energy, and be present at Tc. The most obvious feature in the magnetic excitations of high-Tc superconductors such as YBa2Cu3O6+x is the so-called ‘resonance’. Although the resonance may be strongly coupled to the superconductivity, it is unlikely to be the main cause, because it has not been found in the La2-x(Ba,Sr)xCuO4 family and is not universally present in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (ref. 9). Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to characterize possible mediating excitations at higher energies in YBa2Cu3O6.6. We observe a square-shaped continuum of excitations peaked at incommensurate positions. These excitations have energies greater than the superconducting pairing energy, are present at Tc, and have spectral weight far exceeding that of the ‘resonance’. The discovery of similar excitations in La2-xBaxCuO4 (ref. 10) suggests that they are a general property of the copper oxides, and a candidate for mediating the electron pairing.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/03/ VL - 429 IS - 6991 M3 - Article SP - 534 EP - 538 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - In the copper oxide parent compounds of the high-transition-temperature superconductors the valence electrons are localized-one per copper site-by strong intra-atomic Coulomb repulsion. A symptom of this localization is antiferromagnetism, where the spins of localized electrons alternate between up and down. Superconductivity appears when mobile ‘holes’ are doped into this insulating state, and it coexists with antiferromagnetic fluctuations. In one approach to describing the coexistence, the holes are believed to self-organize into ‘stripes’ that alternate with antiferromagnetic (insulating) regions within copper oxide planes, which would necessitate an unconventional mechanism of superconductivity. There is an apparent problem with this picture, however: measurements of magnetic excitations in superconducting YBa2Cu3O6+x near optimum doping are incompatible with the naive expectations for a material with stripes. Here we report neutron scattering measurements on stripe-ordered La1.875Ba0.125CuO4. We show that the measured excitations are, surprisingly, quite similar to those in YBa2Cu3O6+x (refs 9, 10) (that is, the predicted spectrum of magnetic excitations is wrong). We find instead that the observed spectrum can be understood within a stripe model by taking account of quantum excitations. Our results support the concept that stripe correlations are essential to high-transition-temperature superconductivity.

In the new approach, a dual anode is used to replace the single anode surrounded by a shielding grid, which are employed in a conventional design. Two anode wires are stretched near the axis of the 30 cm long cylindrical chamber with a 9 cm diameter cathode. Both the wires are kept at the same (nearly zero) potential and are dc-coupled to the charge-sensitive preamplifiers. For most cases, only one of the wires (it can be either one) collects the electrons produced by an ionizing event. The difference between the signals read out from the wires is proportional to the total produced charge. The experimental results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations. The optimal design of the dual-anode cylindrical ionization chamber is discussed.

T1 - Identication of an Apolipoprotein A-I Structural Element That Mediates Cellular Cholesterol Efflux and Stabilizer ATP Binding Cassette Transporter A1. JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/06/04/ VL - 279 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 24044 EP - 24052 SN - 00219258 AB - Synthetic peptides were used in this study to identify a structural element of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I that stimulates cellular cholesterol efflux and stabilizes the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). Peptides (22-mers) based on helices 1 (amino acids 44-65) and 10 (amino acids 220–241) of apoA-I had high lipid binding affinity but failed to mediate ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux, and they lacked the ability to stabilize ABCA1. The addition of helix 9 (amino acids 209–219) to either helix 1 (creates a 1⁄9 chimera) or 10 (9⁄10 peptide) endowed cholesterol efflux capability and ABCA1 stabilization activity similar to full-length apoA-I. Adding helix 9 to helix 1 or 10 had only a small effect on lipid binding affinity compared with the 22-mer peptides, indicating that helix length and/or determinants on the polar surface of the amphipathic α-helices is important for cholesterol efflux. Cholesterol efflux was specific for the structure created by the 1⁄9 and 9⁄10 helical combinations, as 33-mers composed of helices 1 and 3 (1⁄3), 2⁄9, and 4⁄9 failed to mediate cholesterol efflux in an ABCA1-dependent manner. Transposing helices 9 and 10 (10⁄9 peptide) did not change the class Y structure, hydrophobicity, or amphiphilicity of the helical combination, but the topography of negatively charged amino acids on the polar surface was altered, and the 10⁄9 peptide neither mediated ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux nor stabilized ABCA1 protein. These results suggest that a specific structural element possessing a linear array of acidic residues spanning two apoA-I amphipathic α-helices is required to mediate cholesterol efflux and stabilize ABCA1.

Analytical and overloaded band profiles on Kromasil-C18 JO - Journal of Chromatography A JF - Journal of Chromatography A Y1 - 2004/06/04/ VL - 1038 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 53 EP - 66 SN - 00219673 AB - The influence of the pH, the concentration, and the nature of the buffer on the retention and overloading behavior of propranolol (pKa=9.25) on Kromasil-C18 was studied at 2.75, using four buffers (phosphate, acetate, phthalate, and succinate), at three concentrations, 6, 20, and 60 mM. The propranolol band profiles were recorded for three sample sizes, less than 1 μg and 375 μg (sample less concentrated than the buffer), and 7500 μg (band more concentrated than the buffer). Results showed that the buffer concentration, not its pH, controls the retention time of propranolol, in agreement with the chaotropic model. The retention factor depends also on the nature of the buffer, particularly the valence of the basic anion. At moderate loading, the band profiles are well accounted for by a simple bilangmuir model (no adsorbate–adsorbate interactions) with the monovalent anions H2PO4- (pH 2.75), HOOC&z.sbnd;Ph&z.sbnd;COO- (pH 2.75), HOOC&z.sbnd;CH2&z.sbnd;CH2&z.sbnd;COO- (pH 4.16) and CH3COO- (pH 4.75), and by a bimoreau model (significant adsorbate–adsorbate interactions) with the bivalent anions -OOC&z.sbnd;Ph&z.sbnd;COO- (pH 4.75), -OOC&z.sbnd;CH2&z.sbnd;CH2&z.sbnd;COO- (pH 5.61) and HPO42- (pH 6.75). The isotherm were determined using the inverse method. The results show that both the saturation capacity and the equilibrium constant on the low-energy sites increase with increasing buffer concentration, a result similar to that observed with neutral salts. For bivalent anions, the adsorbate–adsorbate interactions are much stronger on the low than on the high energy sites. The density of high energy sites is lower and the equilibrium constant on the low energy sites are higher with bivalent than with univalent anions. These results are consistent with the formation of a propranolol–buffer (2:1) complex with bivalent anions.

A general approach to quantum holonomic computing based on geometric Lie-algebraic structures on Grassmann manifolds and related with them Lax type flows is proposed. Making use of the differential geometric techniques like momentum mapping reduction, central extension and connection theory on Stiefel bundles it is shown that the associated holonomy groups properly realizing quantum computations can be effectively found concerning diverse practical problems. Two examples demonstrating two-form curvature calculations important for describing the corresponding holonomy Lie algebra are presented in detail.

The waveguides were formed by removing either a single rod or a series of rod fragments running in three mutually orthogonal directions. This provides the potential of forming a 3D network of waveguide channels with cross sectional dimensions on the order of one lattice constant. The propagation behavior of guided modes in these waveguide networks was probed using a network analyzer. High transmission efficiency (with loss below 0.5 dB) through various waveguide bends and networks with carefully designed geometries has been achieved. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We have studied these abrupt interfaces by Auger electron spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, medium-energy ion scattering, transmission infrared absorption spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Together these techniques indicate that the films are fully oxidized and have less than 0.2 Å of SiO2 at the interface between the amorphous LaAlO3 and silicon. These heterostructures are being investigated for alternative gate dielectric applications and provide an opportunity to control the interface between the silicon and the gate dielectric. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The expression suggests hep &assymp; 1/&rad;l at temperatures comparable to the Debye temperature of the metal. The predicted values of hep fall within the range of conductance values experimentally observed (0.3–1 GW/m²K), suggesting that it cannot be ignored, and could even play a dominant role at high temperatures. Predictions of the total thermal conductance, that include both electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interfacial conductances, show reasonable agreement in its temperature dependence with experimental data for TiN/MgO interfaces.

The composite is manufactured by embedding ball-milled Gd5Si2Ge2 particles with a size distribution of <600 μm in a resin matrix. The thermally induced volume strain in the composite resulting from phase transformation is found to be 1300 ppm. The magnetically induced linear strain resulting from phase transformation is also measured, from which the volume strain is deduced to be 1650 ppm. The volume strain from the composite is significantly lower than phase transformation strain of the bulk Gd5Si2Ge2 (8000 ppm) and is mainly attributed to nonalignment of the particles in the matrix. An analytical model for a 1–3 composite (particles aligned in a single direction in a polymer matrix) and a 0–3 composite (particles dispersed randomly in a polymer matrix) predicts significantly higher strains in a 1–3 composite. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

T1 - Role of Hydrogen Bonding in the Active Site of Human Manganese Superoxide Dismutase. JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/06/08/ VL - 43 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 7038 EP - 7045 SN - 00062960 AB - The side chain of Gln143, a conserved residue in manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), forms a hydrogen bond with the manganese-bound solvent and is critical in maintaining catalytic activity. The side chains of Tyr34 and Trp123 form hydrogen bonds with the carboxamide of Gln143. We have replaced Tyr34 and Trp 123 with Phe in single and double mutants of human MnSOD and measured their catalytic activity by stopped-flow spectrophotometry and pulse radiolysis. The replacements of these side chains inhibited steps in the catalysis as much as 50-fold; in addition, they altered the gating between catalysis and formation of a peroxide complex to yield a more product-inhibited enzyme. The replacement of both Tyr34 and Trp123 in a double mutant showed that these two residues interact cooperatively in maintaining catalytic activity. The crystal structure of Y34F1W123F human MnSOD at 1.95 Å resolution suggests that this effect is not related to a conformational change in the side chain of Gin 143, which does not change orientation in Y34F/W123F, but rather to more subtle electronic effects due to the loss of hydrogen bonding to the carboxamide side chain of Gln143. Wild-type MnSOD containing Trp123 and Tyr34 has approximately the same thermal stability compared with mutants containing Phe at these positions, suggesting the hydrogen bonds formed by these residues have functional rather than structural roles.

The clusters display per-atom polarizabilities that decrease monotonically with size, from ∼16 Å3 per atom Cu9­10 to ∼5 Å3 (Cu45­61). Absent are any discernible discontinuities or odd—even alternations due to electronic shell filling or electron pairing effects. For the smallest clusters, the experimental polarizabilities are ∼3 times larger than those predicted classically for conducting ellipsoids, and approach the classical values only for clusters containing more than ∼45 atoms.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/06/08/ VL - 120 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 10501 EP - 10512 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The ground- and several excited states of metal aromatic clusters, namely NaM4 and NaM4± (M = Al,Ga,In) clusters have been investigated by employing complete active-space self-consistent-field followed by multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction computations that included up to 10 million configurations and other methods. The ground states NaM4- of aromatic anions are found to be symmetric C4v (1A1) electronic states with ideal square pyramid geometries. While the ground state of NaIn4 is also predicted to be a symmetric C4v (2A1) square pyramid, the ground state of the NaAl4 cluster is found to have a C2v (2A1) pyramid with a rhombus base, and the ground state of NaGa4 possesses a C2v (2A1) pyramid with a rectangle base. In general, these structures exhibit two competing geometries, viz., an ideal C4v structure and a distorted rhomboidal or rectangular pyramid structure (C2v). All of the ground states of the NaM4+ (M = Al,Ga,In) cations are computed to be C2v (3A2) pyramids with rhombus bases. The equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, dissociation energies, adiabatic ionization potentials, adiabatic electron affinities for the electronic states of NaM4 (M = Al,Ga,In), and their ions are computed and compared with experimental results and other theoretical calculations. On the basis of our computed excited states energy separations, we have tentatively suggested assignments to the observed X and A states in the anion photoelectron spectra of Al4Na- reported by Li et al. [X. Li, A. E. Kuznetov, H. F. Zheng, A. I. Boldyrev, and L. S. Wang, Science 291, 859 (2001)]. The X state can be assigned to a C2v (2A1) rhomboidal pyramid. The A state observed in the anion spectrum is assigned to the first excited state (2B1) of the neutral NaAl4 with the C4v symmetry. The assignments of the excited states are consistent with the experimental excitation energies and the previous Green's function-based methods for the vertical transition energy separations between the X and A bands.

Nanoscale reconstructions, unique to curved nanosurfaces, are presented for silicon nanocrystals and shown to have lower energy and larger optical gaps than bulk-derived structures. We find that high-temperature synthesis processes can produce metastable noncrystalline nanostructures with different core structures than bulk-derived crystalline clusters. The type of core structure that forms from a given synthesis process may depend on the passivation mechanism and time scale. The effect of oxygen on the optical of different types of silicon structures is calculated. In contrast to the behavior of bulklike nanostructures, for noncrystalline and reconstructed crystalline structures surface oxygen atoms do not decrease the gap. In some cases, the presence of oxygen atoms at the nanocluster surface can significantly increase the optical absorption gap, due to decreased angular distortion of the silicon bonds. The relationship between strain and the optical gap in silicon nanoclusters is discussed.

In the perchlorate solutions, we found an octahedral hydration shell around the Cr3+ ion at 1.96 Å, confirming previous results through an independent analysis. Distinct Cr-Cr correlation was observed in the Cr acetate solutions, indicating that acetate groups bridge between the metal ions in a polymer structure. Modeling of the data confirmed a cyclic trichromium complex in acetate solutions. Similar spectral features in the Fourier transform were observed at 3.0-3.5 Å for both hydrated and polynuclear Cr. Comparison of the spectral content of such features in the two different cases showed that the origin of the 3.0-3.5 Å structure is multiple scattering within the first O shell alone. Thus, no spectral contribution could be attributed to the outer hydration molecules in data for hydrated Cr3+. We also report on differences in first-shell O backscattering (or possible spectral contributions from H atoms) in the aqueous solutions relative to the crystal oxide, determined by systematic analysis of a Cr2O3 standard.

This effect is not observed on either Au surfaces or C surfaces absent Ag+. Surface X-ray scattering, quartz crystal microbalance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements show that the silicotungstic acid apparently stabilizes the Ag+ cation, which electrostatically assembles with the STA anion or the one-electron reduced species to form ordered multilayers. In contrast to other electrostatically assembled multilayer systems, those formed here exhibit considerable order.

The microstructure of the films was analyzed in order to investigate its dependence on deposition pressure and annealing temperature. A correlation between microstructure and electro-optical properties was also established. Films produced at low pressures are crystalline and have higher conductivity than films deposited at high pressures. Films produced at high pressures are amorphous, but can be crystallized by annealing. With the increase in crystallinity, shifts of the absorption and plasma resonance edges to shorter wavelengths, attributed to an increase in carrier concentration, were observed at the transmittance spectra.

In order to account for the different displacement energies on the Si and C sublattices and accurately assess the damage efficiency, a modified version of the SRIM (stopping and range of ions in matter) code, with the electronic stopping turned off to duplicate the MD conditions, was used to calculate the statistics of damage production for the same PKAs over the energy range from 0.1 to 400 keV under the binary collision approximation using threshold displacement energies of 20 and 35 eV for C and Si, respectively. Using the modified SRIM predictions as a reference, the efficiencies of total damage production are determined for C, Si and Au PKAs as functions of energy. The efficiency for production of C displacements is similar for all PKAs; however, C PKAs have a much lower efficiency for producing stable Si displacements than Si and Au PKAs, which leads to a much higher ratio of C to Si displacements for C PKAs. These results are consistent with the experimental damage production behavior observed in SiC irradiated with C, Si and Au ions at 150 K.

The defect structures in 3C-SiC are relatively simple, but those in 4H-SiC are more complex. The interstitials between hexagonal and trigonal rings are characteristic for 4H-SiC and other hexagonal polytypes, but not for 3C-SiC. The number of non-equivalent defects in 4H-SiC is much higher than that in 3C-SiC, and a considerable difference is found for some complex and anisotropic defects, in particular for the dumbbells D1Si–Si, D1Si–C and D2Si–C. The lattice deformation beyond the first nearest neighbor shell, which depends strongly on the polytype structure, plays an important role on these effects. However, the polytypism does not have a significant influence on the structure and energetics of the more compact and isotropic defects, such as vacancies and antisite defects. Despite the complexity of defect configurations, the tetrahedral interstitials have very similar properties in 3C- and 4H-SiC because their first, second and third nearest neighbor shells are identical.

The relative disorder on the Sm sublattice follows a nonlinear dependence on ion fluence. The nonlinear behavior is described well by a disorder accumulation model that indicates a predominant role of a defect-stimulated amorphization process. The critical dose for amorphization at 300 K is ∼0.14 dpa, which is in good agreement with in situ transmission electron microscopy results for polycrystalline Sm2Ti2O7 irradiated with 600 keV Bi+ ions and with Gd2Ti2O7 doped with 244Cm. Despite the six orders of magnitude difference in damage rates, the good agreement between the amorphization doses in Sm2Ti2O7 at 300 K and 244Cm-doped Gd2Ti2O7 at 340 K indicates that damage accumulation at these temperatures is relatively independent of dose rate.

Research based on classical mechanics and electronic structure methods to study ballistic and electronic excitation processes, respectively, in oxide materials is presented. Oxide materials have both ionic and covalent bonding interactions that make them more complex than metals and semiconductors. Hence, the modern strategy is to use electronic structure methods to help parameterize classical potential models, thus reducing the ambiguity of the potential model. Oxide materials can also support long-lived electronic excitations either as self-trapped holes and excitons or as in the formation of higher energy states, such as in a color center. We have learned that the electronic structure, in particular the low-lying conduction band states of insulators, is strongly coupled to the ionic forces, and so the excited state manifold must be mapped. In carrying out these tasks, many pitfalls are found, some discoveries are made, and many digressions are required to understand how molecular dynamics simulations can eventually couple the ballistic and electronic excitations that occur in irradiation processes in oxide materials.

Following irradiation with 300 keV Kr2+ ions, the monoclinic phase was gradually replaced by a new phase. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) measurements revealed that the radiation-induced phase is either a tetragonal or cubic polymorph of zirconia. This phase appeared at peak displacement damage doses as low as 1.8 displacements per atom (dpa). Raman spectroscopy (RS) measurements were performed in an attempt to discern the nature of the transformed irradiated material, but these measurements in the confocal geometry failed to unambiguously establish the nature of the phase transformation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments and particularly microdiffraction (μD) measurements revealed that in a sample irradiated to a fluence of 1 × 1020 Kr/m2, the transformed zirconia possesses a tetragonal structure. This was evidenced by the appearance of (1 1 2)-type Bragg reflections (indexed according to a “face-centered” unit cell) in the irradiated sample material. These (1 1 2) reflections are allowed in a tetragonal structure, while they are forbidden in cubic zirconia. Finally, additional GIXRD measurements on Kr2+ ion irradiated zirconia samples revealed very weak intensities at the diffraction position corresponding to a (1 1 2) tetragonal zirconia reflection.

Implantation at RT produced precipitates, identified as α-Fe, 1–3 nm in size and the typical “black spot” damage. Implantation at 1000 °C produced little residual disorder and a microstructure containing faceted iron precipitates ranging in size to 100 nm. Voids were associated with many of the precipitates. A second population of voids in the size range of 5–15 nm was also present. Annealing produced a microstructure containing 1–60 nm faceted precipitates but fewer voids.

T1 - Ion beam irradiation in La2Zr2O7–Ce2Zr2O7 pyrochlore JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B Y1 - 2004/06/08/ VL - 218 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 236 SN - 0168583X AB - Generally, zirconate pyrochlores do not experience a radiation-induced transformation from the crystalline-to-amorphous state, but rather disorder to a defect fluorite structure-type. Thus Gd2Zr2O7 has been proposed as a nuclear waste form for the immobilization of plutonium because of its radiation “stability”. In contrast, La2Zr2O7 can be amorphized by a 1.5 MeV Xe+ ion irradiation (∼5.5 dpa at room temperature), and the critical amorphization temperature is low (∼310 K). In this study we present data on ion beam irradiations of compositions in the solid solution: (La1−xCex)2Zr2O7 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 1). Ce is used as an analogue element for Pu because of similarities in charge and size. La2Zr2O7 can be amorphized by a 1.0 MeV Kr+ ion irradiation at 25 and 293 K at doses of ∼1.19 and ∼3.42 dpa, respectively, confirming that La2Zr2O7 is susceptible to ion irradiation-induced amorphization. With the addition of 10 mol% Ce in lanthanum–zirconate pyrochlore structure, no ion irradiation-induced amorphization has been observed at room temperature. The critical amorphization dose for (La0.9Ce0.1)2Zr2O7 at 25 K is ∼3.55 dpa, and with increasing Ce-content, a higher dose (∼5.20 dpa) is required to fully amorphize (La0.8Ce0.2)2Zr2O7 at 25 K. No amorphization occurred for Ce2Zr2O7 at 25 K at a dose of ∼7 dpa. These results suggest that the addition of Ce into the La2Zr2O7 structure increases the stability of the La2Zr2O7 waste form in a radiation environment, which may be attributed to the decreasing average radius of cations in the A-site, resulting from the smaller ionic radii of Ce3+ (0.114 nm) and Ce4+ (0.097 nm) as compared to La3+ (0.116 nm). An ion beam-induced anion-disordered pyrochlore was observed prior to the final transformation to a disordered fluorite structure. The local structural evolution upon ion irradiation was also investigated for Ce-doped La2Zr2O7 pyrochlores with different average A-site cation sizes and valence states using electron energy-loss spectrometry (EELS).

The radiation induced absorption envelope is shifted to higher energy and is larger in intensity in non-stoichiometric spinel in comparison with stoichiometric one at the same irradiation conditions. Deconvolution of difference optical spectra of irradiated crystals shows the shift of the F-type centers from 4.75 and 5.3 eV in stoichiometric crystals to 5.08 and 5.63 eV in MgO · 2.5Al2O3 for F+- and F-centers, respectively. The absorption bands at 3.1 and 3.78 eV are present in both stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric crystals and are identified as V-type centers. By changing the irradiation time and using isochronal annealing it was revealed that additional bands appear in optical absorption spectra at 4.15 eV for MgO · 1.0Al2O3 crystals and at 4.46 eV for MgO · 2.5Al2O3 crystals. From the shift of the band energy position and the high intensity of this band in non-stoichiometric spinel crystals, it could be identified with electronic centers related to lattice defects.

Distinctly separate phases that are rich in boron and silicon formed at electron doses higher than 4.0 × 1011 Gy during irradiation. The separated phases are still in amorphous states even at a much high dose (2.1 × 1012 Gy). It indicates that most silicon atoms remain tetrahedrally coordinated in the glass during the entire irradiation period, except some possible reduction to amorphous silicon. The particulate B-rich phase that formed at high dose was identified as amorphous boron that may contain some oxygen. Both ballistic and ionization processes may contribute to the phase separation.

The accumulation of disorder on the Ga sublattice has been investigated based on 2.0 MeV He+ RBS along the 〈0 0 0 1〉-axial channeling direction. In general, the degree of disorder in the irradiated GaN increases at low doses and saturates at intermediate doses; at higher doses, a rapid amorphization process occurs as a result of the ingrowth of surface defects. Results from this study indicate that there may be a dynamic recovery stage on the Ga sublattice in GaN between 250 and 300 K. High-resolution TEM studies show that the microstructure in the disorder saturation stage contains a dense network of planar defects (basal-plane dislocation loops and stacking faults), while the more highly disordered regime includes amorphous domains and small crystalline zones that are randomly oriented.

A central beam stop in the back focal plane of the objective lens of the microscope blocks all electrons scattered up to a semi-angle of approximately 20 mrad. In this manner, contributions to the image from Bragg scattering are largely reduced and the image contrast is sensitive to the atomic number Z. Experimentally, we find that single atom scattering cross sections measured with this technique are close to Rutherford scattering values. A comparison between this new method and STEM-HAADF shows that both techniques result in qualitatively similar images although the resolution of ADF-TEM is limited by contrast delocalization caused by the spherical aberration of the objective lens. This problem can be overcome by using an aberration corrected microscope.

The safe design and operation of pulse magnets requires an understanding of the expected conductor performance as determined from design-specific low-cycle fatigue tests. A test fixture has been developed to perform fatigue stress cycling at 77 K that enables the application of axial tension and compression in a stress or strain control mode. Special wedge grips with low thermal mass were designed that are capable of reverse cycling (tension-compression) of various size specimens. The low cycle fatigue life of Glidcop-AL60™, a commercially available high strength/high conductivity conductor, has been characterized and is reported. Stress and strain data acquired for the tests, are evaluated to assess the material’s strain hardening or strain softening characteristics and its influence on fatigue life. The influence of test control mode (stress control versus strain control), and r-ratio on the fatigue life, are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Because of shortcomings in stability when testing these HEP strands with the ITER barrel, we have designed and built a new, low-cost Nb3Sn short sample test fixture that provides excellent stability and allows for higher throughput at lower cost than the ITER design. The new design uses stainless steel as the central region of the barrel, but it can also incorporate Ti-6A-14V to produce different strain states on the strand upon cooldown. Soldering the modern Nb3Sn strand to the stainless steel barrel provided the best stability in experiments, where current-voltage transitions were recorded up to 150 μV and up to ∼ 1000 A. Current-voltage data were also obtained at fields as low as 8.5 T for state-of-the-art HEP strands. A continuous round groove was a key design feature because it ensures a smooth transition between the region where current transfers into the strand and where it is measured. This groove also makes it possible to transfer samples onto the barrel after the heat treatment without damage. We discuss the implications of our barrel design and testing experiences for present testing difficulties and protocols. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This is by virtue of the penetration and phase sensitivity of neutrons. At Los Alamos National Laboratory room and high temperature (up to 1500°C) polycrystalline constitutive response is modeled using finite element and self-consistent models. The models are compared to neutron diffraction measurements. In doing so the implications of slip and creep to microstructural response have been explored. Recently we have been considering low temperature phenomena. This includes changes in deformation mechanisms such as the increased predilection for twinning over slip. Since this is associated with measurable texture changes as well as microstructural strain effects, it is well suited for study using neutron diffraction. This paper outlines the design and rationale for a cryogenic loading capability that will be used on the Spectrometer for MAterials Research at Temperature and Stress (SMARTS) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The jacket provides primary containment of the supercritical helium coolant and is typically also the primary structural component for the magnet. These functions create requirements for strength, toughness, weldability, and fabricability in tubular form. When the CICC uses Nb3Sn, there are additional requirements to accommodate the manufacturing and heat-treatment processes for the superconductor as well as its strain-sensitive performance during operation. Both of the present favorite jacket alloys, Incoloy 908 and modified (ultra-low carbon) 316LN, have both demonstrated acceptable functionality as well as a few undesirable features. In this paper, we present data from cryogenic mechanical tests on a group of heat-resistant, high-strength superalloys that appear to offer equal or better mechanical performance (e.g. strength, toughness, and modulus) while mitigating the undesirable aspects (e.g. SAGBO in the case of I908 and thermal-expansion mismatch with Nb3Sn in the case of 316LN). Data are presented for each alloy in the as-received and aged conditions. These alloys are presently being considered as candidates for use in the next-generation hybrid magnet for the NHMFL but may also be of interest to the fusion and energy storage communities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The coupons used in this investigation were made of the same INCONEL 718 alloy used for the flow liners. They were subjected to identical welding and certification procedures that were carried out on the space shuttle. Neutron diffraction measurements at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined residual strains at selected locations in a welded coupon at 293 K and 135 K. The weld repair process introduced Mises effective residual stresses of up to 555 MPa. On comparing the measurements at 293 K and 135 K, no significant change to the residual strain profile was noted at the low temperature. This indicated minimal mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the base metal and the weld. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The first variant involves the direct application of a sol-gel coating of SnO2-ZrO2 to the surface of the strands in the cable, whereas the second is an indirect approach consisting of coating stainless steel tapes with MgO-ZrO2 that are to be wrapped around or co-wound with the cable. Following the application of the insulation by one of the two methods, the insulation electrical resistance and breakdown voltage were determined for samples consisting of two 7 inches long cables pressed together and vacuum impregnated with epoxy (CTD-101K). With a notable exception, the breakdown voltages on directly insulated cables were too low for practical purposes. Better results, with breakdown voltages ranging from 20 to almost 200 V, were obtained for insulator coatings applied to stainless steel tapes. An additional sintering at 700–800°C for 6–12h of the coatings deposited on stainless steel was found to increase the breakdown voltage. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/09/ VL - 711 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 322 EP - 329 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - We have investigated Nb-47Ti multifilament wire with 12 volume percent artificial pinning centers (APC). The superconducting properties of APC wires containing either ferromagnetic nickel pins with a copper barrier or non-magnetic copper pins are compared. The optimum diameter for these pins is found to be ∼10 nm. Designs with Ni pins show a clear performance advantage over those with pure Cu only, being almost 70% higher for otherwise identical filament diameter and pin diameter and arrangement. Designs with ∼1 μm filaments were found to suffer from proximity coupling to the external copper matrix, and a further 19% improvement was found for a second Ni design with ∼17 μm filament diameter. This design also exhibited the highest upper critical field of any APC design made so far. Annealing the wires for a few minutes at 100 to 200 °C produced even better performance, reaching > 5000 A/mm2 at 5 T and 4.2 K in the best design. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed a new feature in the pin nanostructure due to the short annealing for both designs. Voids are formed on the outside of each pin as a result of inter-diffusion between Ni, Cu, and/or Ti, which may improve pinning by reducing the proximity coupling of the pins to the Nb47Ti matrix. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The first goal, an increase in current density by 50 %, has been achieved in a practical conductor. The program is focused at present on achieving the second goal of reduced losses. The different approaches for achieving these goals will be discussed, and the status will be presented. Magnet technology R&D has been proceeding in parallel with the conductor development efforts, and these two technologies are reaching the level required for the next step—introduction into operating accelerator magnets. An obvious point for introducing this technology is the LHC interaction region magnets, which require large apertures and high fields (or high field gradients). By upgrading the interaction region magnets, machine performance can be enhanced significantly without replacing the arc magnets, which represent most of the cost of an accelerator. Design requirements generated by recent studies and workshops will be reviewed, and a roadmap for the development of the next-generation interaction region magnets will be presented.. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A current density of 2.85 × 109 A/m2 (12 T) was achieved in a high tin, high Nb conductor. Wire lengths as long as 15.8 km at 0.254 mm diameter with breaks averaging 3 per unit length were achieved. Magnetization measurements and Magneto-Optical (MO) images were taken of the finned and non-fin conductor which indicated the fins appeared to be effective. The Deff achieved in the fin conductor was 80 μm compared with an equivalent conductor without a fin of 165 μm. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The insulation material has to withstand high bending stresses while winding the coil and high heat-treatment temperatures under pressure during coil reaction. At Fermilab we have developed a procedure and tested successfully the dry ceramic insulation tape with inorganic liquid binder to wind and cure the coils. Recently we have extended this to a pre-preg ceramic insulation tape, which would minimize and control the amount of binder in the coil. Several coils with various insulation patterns have been fabricated and tested at Fermilab. This paper discusses the fabrication issues of the coils with different types of cable insulation including the pre-preg ceramic insulation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Two types of MgB2 conductors, Fe/MgB2 and Cu/MgB2, were studied. It was found that the sheath materials affect the optimum annealing profile of MgB2 conductor. The annealing temperature for Cu/MgB2 conductors was lower than that for the Fe/MgB2 conductors. The critical current density, Jc was measured to be 1.1×105 A/cm2 at 20 K in-self field for Cu/MgB2 conductor of 1.25 mm in diameter.

The optimum heat treatment condition for this conductor was found to be half an hour at 700 °C under 4%H2-Ar gas flow. We have sol-gel insulated 25 meters of Cu/MgB2 wire with SnO2-ZrO2, layer wound the coil, impregnated with stycast and then tested it between 4.2 K and 30 K together with a sister sample which was heat treated with the coil. The coil had a Jc of 66190 A/cm2 at 4.2 K and 21428 A/cm2 at 20 K in its self field. This is almost identical to that of the sister sample when the self field effect is considered. This is very significant, as it demonstrate that with CTFF process which is readily scalable, one can produce any lengths of MgB2 conductor which would demonstrate the short sample Jc which is unheard of in the HTS conductors. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Samples of composition Mg1-xVxB2 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) have been investigated to understand the role of V doping on the phase formation, microstructure and superconducting properties. Fe-clad wires were fabricated by groove rolling and cold drawing. The superconducting transition temperature remained constant at about 39 K for all the compositions studied. Energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the presence of V in the superconducting phase. Enhancement of magnetization hysteresis loop widths indicates an improvement in flux pinning for V-doped samples. Studies on the variation of maximum reaction temperatures suggest that the optimum reaction temperature varies with V content. The optimum reaction temperature also depended on the wire diameter with the larger wires requiring higher reaction temperature. The transport critical current densities measured for groove-rolled wires were in the range of 1.0 – 1.4 × 105 A/cm2. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Tapes were made both from twisted and non-twisted wires. For comparison, tapes were also made from twisted and non-twisted wires without 6-2SVO insulating barriers. For the wires with insulating oxide barriers, drawing through roller dies is effective in suppressing sausaging of filaments, and deformation of filaments is uniform throughout the cross sectional area. Oxide barriers or twisting do not lower Ic values in the 37-filament tapes with 6-2SVO barriers. In fact, for the tapes processed in 20% O2 atmosphere, twisted barrier tapes showed higher Ic values compared to the corresponding tapes with no barriers. 6-2SVO is shown to fulfill the requirements of a barrier material; 6-2SVO is stable, non-reactive with Bi-oxides, ductile, and porous for oxygen permeability. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The important buffer layer characteristics are: these buffers should prevent metal diffusion into the superconductor from the substrate; possibly act as oxygen diffusion barriers; should be smooth, continuous, crack-free, highly aligned and dense. In order to develop low-cost alternative buffer layer architectures to the standard architecture of YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/Y2O3/Ni/Ni-W, LaMnO3 (LMO) and La2Zr2O7 (LZO) buffers were chosen for this study. These buffers were grown epitaxially on biaxially textured and strengthened Ni-W3% metal tapes by scalable vapor and/or solution techniques. LaMnO3 buffers were grown epitaxially on Ni-W substrates by rf sputtering, and La2Zr2O7 buffers were grown by a Metal-Organic Deposition (MOD). Detailed microstructural characterizations indicate that both of these buffers were excellent Ni diffusion barrier layers and high current YBCO films were grown on both LMO and LZO buffer templates. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Since in magnet applications, stresses are generated during coil construction and operation and the fact that the superconductors are brittle and sensitive to cracking, understanding the effects of such stresses and strains on the electrical performance is very critical. Here, we report on the mechanical properties of such coated conductors under axial tension, including the dependence of critical current density upon strain. Microstructural analysis by Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope relates the superconducting performance to the tensile conditions to which the conductor is subjected. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/09/ VL - 711 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 781 EP - 788 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Magnetic and calorimetric techniques were used to measure coupling loss in small-scale (typically 20-strand) Rutherford cables inclosing bimetallic stainless steel-and-copper cores. The effects of two types of core were studied: (i) a double core consisting of two strips of bimetallic Cu/SS with the stainless steel (SS) surfaces facing each other; (ii) a single composite core with Cu sandwiched between two strips of SS — a kind of “thick-core reference”. A “no-core reference” cable was also included in the measurement set. In the double-core cable the facing SS strips (with their included surface oxide layer) were intended to inhibit crossover interstrand contact at the same time that side-by-side contact would be enhanced by the diffusion bonding of the outer strip surfaces to the strand during the cable’s prolonged heat treatment under a uniaxial pressure of 20 MPa. Coupling loss in this double-core cable was small but measurable and very much less than that of the uncored cable. Coupling loss in the composite core cable was immeasurably small. The losses were expressed quantitatively in terms of interstrand contact resistances (ICR) deduced from the magnetic- and calorimetric coupling-loss results. ICR data were also obtained by direct measurement using the four-terminal transport method. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Bridging between subelements occurs and the effective filament diameter (deff) is considerably greater than the value of < 40 μm specified by the High Energy Physics (HEP) community. In this investigation we have explored the extent to which the other properties are changed when the losses are decreased by using multiple barriers to ensure the separation of the subelements. The effect of internal fins, of the type used in the Mono Element Internal Tin (MEIT) process, on the values for critical current density (Jc) and deff of multiple barrier restacks, is also reported, as are some problems encountered by the addition of Ti and possibly Cu to the Sn core. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Procedures have been developed to instrument and measure samples extracted from Nb3Sn coils. Samples were extracted from coils fabricated with the Wind-and-React and the React-and-Wind technology, both presently under development at Fermilab. A ceramic binder is used to improve the insulation and to simplify the fabrication of coils using the Wind-and-React technology. Synthetic oil is used to prevent sintering during the heat treatment of coils to be wound after reaction. In order to evaluate the effects of the ceramic binder and of the synthetic oil on the inter-strand resistance, measurements of samples extracted from coils were compared with measurements of cable stacks with varying characteristics. In this paper we describe the apparatus, the sample preparation, the measurement procedure, and the results of the first series of tests. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this study, the BSCCO tapes were composed of a silver/alloy sheath with nickel/copper plating, while the YBCO tapes had a 50-μm layer of copper attached to the silver surface. After attaching the tapes to a thermally insulated G-10 holder, the stability of the tapes was found by applying current greater than the critical current and holding it constant for up to 1 min. If the sample voltage increased rapidly during this period, the tape was considered unstable at this current. This was repeated at different layers of Cryoflex™, and the results were compared to a numerical simulation of the energy balance equation. This simulation was also utilized to investigate the effect of the layers on the stability limit and estimate the thermal conductivity of the Cryoflex™. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In the cold dielectric design, lapped tape insulation and liquid nitrogen are used in combination to provide the electrical insulation between the conductor and the ground shield of an HTS cable. Lapped tape insulated model cables have been tested at high voltage, including AC breakdown, negative impulse breakdown, partial discharge, and long term aging under AC stress. Tapes tested include Cryoflex™ (a proprietary tape developed by Southwire) and PPLP® (a commercial semi synthetic tape). Two high voltage cryostats have been built for short and long term aging studies that permit testing of model cables under the combined conditions of high electric stress, cryogenic temperature and elevated pressures up to 15 bar. For the aging studies, a log-log plot of electric stress versus time-to-breakdown has yielded an estimate of cable lifetime. Since aging at cryogenic temperatures is not expected to have a thermal cause, dielectric wear in HTS cables reduces to partial discharge as the primary aging mechanism. Phase and amplitude resolved partial discharge data of model cables in liquid nitrogen will be presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The magnet is an example of a very large, epoxy impregnated, high current density design with stored energy of 40 MJ. Stability of the magnet was taken into account in the design, including interface materials between coils and coil forms, the development of a tough crack free epoxy, and the implementation of a free supported lead design. Nevertheless, the performance of the magnet has been limited by what appears to be classical stability considerations. The magnet is extensively instrumented with voltage taps and a considerable amount of data was obtained during ramping of the magnet. The data reveals voltage spikes associated with several different locations in the coil set, including the long solenoids and the compensation coils. There is a degree of regularity displayed by the data, allowing some interpretation of mechanisms, and providing information for future designs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Modeling Polycrystalline Microstructures in 3D. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 712 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 71 EP - 77 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Many issues in forming are influenced to some degree by the internal structure of the material which is commonly referred to by the materials science community as microstructure. Although the term microstructure is commonly only thought of in the context of grain size, it more properly encompasses all relevant aspects of internal material structure. For the purposes of forming, the most relevant features are the crystallographic orientations of the grains (“texture”) and the locations of the grain boundaries, or, equivalently, the size, topology and shape of the grains. In order to perform realistic simulations one needs to specify the initial state of the material, e.g. on a finite element mesh, with sufficient detail that all these features are reproduced. Measuring microstructure at the scale of individual grains is possible in the synchrotron but scarcely practicable for an analyst. Cross-sections or surfaces are easily evaluated through automated diffraction in the scanning electron microscope (SEM), however. Therefore this paper describes a set of methods for generating statistically representative 3D microstructures based on microscopy input for both single-phase and two-phase materials. Examples are given of application of the technique for generating input structures for recrystallization simulation, dynamic deformation and finite element modeling. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Prediction of Final Material State in Multi-Stage Forging Processes. JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 712 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 510 EP - 515 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Multi-stage forging processes are used to manufacture reservoirs for high pressure hydrogen and tritium storage. The warm-forging process is required to produce required macro and microscale forged material properties of 304 and 21-6-9 stainless steel. Strict requirements on the forged material strength, grain size and grain flow are necessitated to inhibit the diffusion of gas which inevitably leads to material embrittlement. Accurate prediction of the final material state requires modeling of each of the forging stages and tracking the material state evolution through each deformation and reheating stage. An internal state variable constitutive model, capable of predicting the high strain rate, temperature dependent material behavior, is developed to predict final material strength and microstructure. History dependent, internal state variables are used to model the isotropic and kinematic hardening, grain size and recrystallization. Numerical methodologies were developed to track and remap material state from one forging stage analysis to the next including the effects of relaxation during reheating. Multi-stage, uniaxial, compression tests were performed over a range of temperatures, strain rates, and strains to validate the constitutive model and methodology. Tensile specimens were taken from several forgings and compared to model predictions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Validation simulations through 15 passes with an 86% reduction have been performed using the thermo-mechanically coupled model to track the evolution of the deformed ingot geometry. The heat transfer coefficient for thermal conduction between the rolls and slab has been estimated in accordance with experimental data, and heat transfer to the air and coolant outside of the roll bite is included. A hyperbolic sine model using the Zener-Hollomon parameter is used to capture the temperature and strain rate dependence of the aluminum alloy. A Coulomb friction model with a flow strength dependent maximum limit on the interfacial shear stress was employed between the rolls and ingot. Results of validation simulations and comparisons with experiments focusing on the ingot shape evolution are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 712 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 964 EP - 969 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Laminated steel sheets consist of thin visco-elastic polymer layers sandwiched between sheets of steel and are used primarily in products where sound and vibration need to be damped. Although laminated steel products have been successfully manufactured by stamping, these parts are relatively flat. Problems arise, however, when using the material in bending operations. The main problem is the fact that the sheets develop curl after bending. This has prevented the use of laminated steel in mass-production settings. This investigation concentrates on the study of the bending characteristics of laminated steel in a wiping die configuration. Experiments have been conducted in a specially designed wiping set-up to assess the curl and springback characteristics of the laminated sheet. In addition, a finite element model has been developed to simulate the experiments. The predicted bent shapes of the specimens are very close to the experimental results. The numerical model has also been used to conduct parametric studies of the dependence of the final shape of laminated steel on geometric and material parameters. Both experimental and numerical results indicate that wall curling is characteristic of laminated steel and depends on the thickness of the sheet and the properties of the polymer layer. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The system employs loosely coupled material and process models that allow rapid determination of material compatibility over a wide range of processing conditions. The primary emphasis is on the development and identification of composite coatings for improved wear and corrosion resistance. The material model utilizes computational thermodynamics and kinetic analysis to establish phase stability and extent of diffusional reactions that may result from the thermal response of the material during virtual processing. The process model is used to develop accurate thermal histories associated with the laser surface modification process and provides critical input for the non-isothermal materials simulations. These techniques were utilized to design a laser surface modification experiment that utilized the addition of stainless steel alloy 431 and TiC produced using argon and argon and nitrogen shielding. The deposits representing alloy 431 and TiC powder produced in argon resulted in microstructures retaining some TiC particles and an increase in hardness when compared to deposits produced using only the 431 powder. Laser deposits representing alloy 431 and TiC powder produced with a mixture of argon and nitrogen shielding gas resulted in microstructures retaining some TiC particles, as well as fine precipitates of Ti(CN) formed during cooling and a further increase in hardness of the deposit. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The peridynamic theory is based on a continuum formulation and can capture nucleation and propagation of defects and discontinuities without ad-hoc assumptions or special treatments needed by classical continuum theory. We analyze nanofiber networks and CNT-reinforced polymer composites. We treat all crossovers contacts between fibers as perfect bonds. The use of repulsive short-range forces eliminates the need for complex contact detection algorithms. We generate the fibers as 3D curves with random orientation, with or without preferred directionality. We use an object-oriented code written in Fortran 90/95 to define the geometrical entities. The PF can capture the deformation and complex fracture behavior in fully 3D dynamic simulations. van der Waals forces are included in these calculations. The strength of the bonds between the polymer chains and the CNTs, as well as among the chains, is controllable. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

However, in Lagrangian finite element approaches simulation capabilities are limited in many cases by mesh distortion associated with deformation heterogeneity. Contexts in which such large distortions arise include: bulk deformation to strains approaching or exceeding unity, especially in highly anisotropic or multiphase materials; shear band formation and intersection of shear bands; and indentation with sharp indenters. Investigators have in the past used Eulerian finite element methods with material response determined from crystal aggregates to study steady state forming processes. However, Eulerian and Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element methods have not been widely utilized for simulation of transient deformation processes at the crystal level. The advection schemes used in Eulerian and ALE codes control mesh distortion and allow for simulation of much larger total deformations. We will discuss material state representation issues related to advection and will present results from ALE simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This talk will discuss experimental results illustrating the role of interstitial content, grain size, texture, temperature, and strain rate on the operative deformation mechanisms, mechanical behavior, and substructure evolution in titanium, zirconium, hafnium, and rhenium. Increasing grain size is shown to significantly decrease the dynamic flow strength of Ti and Zr while increasing work-hardening rates due to an increased incidence of deformation twinning. Increasing oxygen interstitial content is shown to significantly alter both the constitutive response and α-ω shock-induced phase transition in Zr. The influence of crystallographic texture on the mechanical behavior in Ti, Zr, and Hf is discussed in terms of slip system and deformation twinning activity. An example of the utility of incorporation of operative deformation mechanisms into a polycrystalline plasticity constitutive model and validation using Taylor cylinder impact testing is presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 712 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1742 EP - 1747 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - A novel model has been developed to capture size scale and gradient effects within the context of continuum crystal plasticity by explicitly incorporating details of dislocation transport, coupling dislocation transport to slip, evolving spatial distributions of dislocations consistent with the flux, and capturing the interactions among various dislocation populations. Dislocation flux and density are treated as nodal degrees of freedom in the finite element model, and they are determined as part of the global system of equations. The creation, annihilation and flux of dislocations between elements are related by transport equations. Crystallographic slip is coupled to the dislocation flux and the stress state. The resultant gradients in dislocation density and local lattice rotations are analyzed for geometrically necessary and statistically stored dislocation contents that contribute to strength and hardening. Grain boundaries are treated as surfaces where dislocation flux is restricted depending on the relative orientations of the neighboring grains. Numerical results show different behavior near free surfaces and non-deforming surfaces resulting from differing levels of dislocation transmission. Simulations also show development of dislocation pile-ups at grain boundaries and an increase in flow strength reminiscent of the Hall-Petch model. The dislocation patterns have a characteristic size independent of the numerical discretization. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

For this purpose, the originally incompressible viscoplastic selfconsistent (VPSC) formulation has been extended to deal with compressible polycrystals. Such an extended model allows us to account for porosity evolution in voided polycrystals, while preserving the anisotropy and crystallographic capabilities of the VPSC formulation. We present several applications of this extended VPSC model, which address the coupling between texture, plastic anisotropy, void shape, triaxiality, and porosity evolution. We also discuss the implementation of a multiscale calculation using the present compressible VPSC as constitutive routine inside dynamic FEM codes, for the simulation of deformation processes in which both anisotropy and cavitation become relevant aspects of microstructural evolution. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Optimization methodologies are then used on a high performance, parallel computer to design the forging dies and temperatures that would meet minimum and maximum strength requirements and result in maximum strength uniformity. Each node on the parallel computer solves a unique finite element simulation including parametric meshing, post-processing and metric determination. Nine shape parameters and one process parameter (temperature) are optimized to reduce strength non-uniformity. The final process design, based on over 360 finite element simulations, meets all material requirements and results in a near uniform strength part. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Crystal structures show that the four nitrogen donors available to complex the metal are arranged in the equatorial plane with the two cyanides trans to each other in the axial positions when the malonyl moiety is disubstituted. In contrast, the unsubstituted malonyl results in only three nitrogens in the equatorial plane with the fourth in an apical position and the two cyanides occupying cis sites, one equatorial and the other axial. NMR analyses show that the solid state structure of both complexes is retained in solution. Both types of configurational complexes catalyze cyclic olefin oxidations with H2O2 but only the cis-dicyano complex catalyzes stilbene oxidation with formation of epoxides, diols and benzaldehyde.

Two such representations are considered, based on the orthogonal projection of uncertain data and solution variables using either a Haar or a Legendre basis. Governing equations for the unknown coefficients in the resulting representations are derived using a Galerkin procedure and then integrated in order to determine the behavior of the stochastic process. The schemes are applied to a model problem involving a simplified dynamical system and to the classical problem of Rayleigh–Bénard instability. For situations involving random parameters close to a critical point, the computational implementations show that the Wiener–Haar (WHa) representation provides more robust predictions that those based on a Wiener–Legendre (WLe) decomposition. However, when the solution depends smoothly on the random data, the WLe scheme exhibits superior convergence. Suggestions regarding future extensions are finally drawn based on these experiences.

JO - Molecular Physics JF - Molecular Physics Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 102 IS - 11/12 M3 - Article SP - 1243 EP - 1267 SN - 00268976 AB - Doubly stochastic, magic square, and alternating sign matrices are matrices of order n over the set of real positive numbers R+, the set the nonnegative numbers N, and the set A of integers (-1, 0, 1), respectively, having fixed row and columns sums of 1, an arbitrary positive integer N, and 1. Each can be expressed as a sum over permutation matrices of order n with coefficients that belong to R+, to the positive integers P, and to A, respectively. Mathematically, these objects are basic in combinatorics: physically, they arise in several contexts that are briefly reviewed. Little has been developed on their expansions in terms of permutation matrices, and little is known about counting formulas for them, except for alternating sign matrices where a closed formula for arbitrary in was recently obtained through the work of Zeilberger. Expansions of these matrices in terms of permutation matrices can be used to investigate and develop their properties. Such an expansion is called a representation of the magic square. Representations are, however, not unique, and the problem arises of enumerating the number of distinct representations of one and the same magic square. The present investigation addresses this problem in the context of primitive magic squares, which are defined as the class of magic squares of order n having a unique representation in which each permutation matrix occurs exactly once in the expansion, and such that this uniqueness is destroyed by the addition of another permutation matrix not already in the representation, a property called completeness. The set of primitive magic squares has a rich structure that is invariant under the action of a group G that is isomorphic to the dihedral group. The group G is definitive in unveiling the general structure of primitive magic squares by providing a complete labeling scheme that utilizes the (n-4)-fold direct product group of G and a binary tree that specifies a path that shows how the elements in the direct product group are to be selected. Based on this structure, a recurrence relation is derived that generates al inequivalent primitive magic squares. The recurrence relation itself shows a hidden structure of more basic magic squares, called universal kernels, that underlie the structural form of all primitive magic squares. The recurrence relation for primitive magic squares is thus shifted to a recurrence relation for the universal kernels that is simpler in form, which is also derived. These recurrence relations produce one and the same primitive magic square in multiple ways, and the sorting out of the distinct magic squares thus generated remains a problem that is not yet solved.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 429 IS - 6992 M3 - Article SP - 638 EP - 642 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - The standard model of particle physics contains parameters-such as particle masses-whose origins are still unknown and which cannot be predicted, but whose values are constrained through their interactions. In particular, the masses of the top quark (Mt) and W boson (MW) constrain the mass of the long-hypothesized, but thus far not observed, Higgs boson. A precise measurement of Mt can therefore indicate where to look for the Higgs, and indeed whether the hypothesis of a standard model Higgs is consistent with experimental data. As top quarks are produced in pairs and decay in only about 10-24?s into various final states, reconstructing their masses from their decay products is very challenging. Here we report a technique that extracts more information from each top-quark event and yields a greatly improved precision (of ± 5.3?GeV/c2) when compared to previous measurements. When our new result is combined with our published measurement in a complementary decay mode and with the only other measurements available, the new world average for Mt becomes 178.0 ± 4.3?GeV/c2. As a result, the most likely Higgs mass increases from the experimentally excluded value of 96 to 117?GeV/c2, which is beyond current experimental sensitivity. The upper limit on the Higgs mass at the 95% confidence level is raised from 219 to 251?GeV/c2.

Such spectral tunability, together with large photoluminescence quantum yields and high photostability, make nanocrystals attractive for use in a variety of light-emitting technologies-for example, displays, fluorescence tagging, solid-state lighting and lasers. An important limitation for such applications, however, is the difficulty of achieving electrical pumping, largely due to the presence of an insulating organic capping layer on the nanocrystals. Here, we describe an approach for indirect injection of electron-hole pairs (the electron-hole radiative recombination gives rise to light emission) into nanocrystals by non-contact, non-radiative energy transfer from a proximal quantum well that can in principle be pumped either electrically or optically. Our theoretical and experimental results indicate that this transfer is fast enough to compete with electron-hole recombination in the quantum well, and results in greater than 50 per cent energy-transfer efficiencies in the tested structures. Furthermore, the measured energy-transfer rates are sufficiently large to provide pumping in the stimulated emission regime, indicating the feasibility of nanocrystal-based optical amplifiers and lasers based on this approach.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/06/11/ VL - 279 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 25711 EP - 25720 SN - 00219258 AB - To identify genes necessary for the photoproduction of H2 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, random insertional mutants were screened for clones unable to produce H2. One of the identified mutants, denoted hydEF-1, is incapable of assembling an active [Fe] hydrogenase. Although the hydEF-1 mutant transcribes both hydrogenase genes and accumulates full-length hydrogenase protein, H2 production activity is not observed. The HydEF protein contains two unique domains that are homologous to two distinct prokaryotic proteins, Hyde and HydF, which are found exclusively in organisms containing [Fe] hydrogenase. In the C. reinhardtii genome, the HydEF gene is adjacent to another hydrogenase-related gene, HydG. All organisms with [Fe] hydrogenase and sequenced genomes contain homologues of HydE, HydF, and HydG, which, prior to this study, were of unknown function. Within several prokaryotic genomes HydE, HydF, and HydG are found in putative operons with [Fe] hydrogenase structural genes. Both HydE and HydG belong to the emerging radical S-adenosylmethionine (commonly designated "Radical SAM") superfamily of proteins. We demonstrate here that HydEF and HydG function in the assembly of [Fe] hydrogenase. Northern blot analysis indicates that mRNA transcripts for both the HydEF gene and the HydG gene are anaerobically induced concomitantly with the two C. reinhardtii [Fe] hydrogenase genes, HydA1 and HydA2. Complementation of the bx;1C. reinhardtii hydEF-1 mutant with genomic DNA corresponding to a functional copy of the HydEF gene restores hydrogenase activity. Moreover, co-expression of the C. reinhardtii HydEF, HydG, and HydA1 genes in Escherichia coli results in the formation of an active HydA1 enzyme. This represents the first report on the nature of the accessory genes required for the maturation of an active [Fe] hydrogenase.

Here, we review some of the outstanding earlier achievements in ion-exchange chromatography. Beginning about 1947, Spedding and Powell at Iowa State published a series of papers describing practical methods for preparative separation of the rare earths by displacement ion-exchange chromatography. The same group then demonstrated the ion-exchange separation of 14N and 15N isotopes in ammonia. Beginning in the 1950s, Kraus and Nelson at Oak Ridge published numerous analytical methods for metal ions based on separation of their chloride, fluoride, nitrate or sulfate complexes by anion chromatography. In the period from about 1960 to 1980 many clever chromatographic methods for metal ion separations were reported by researchers throughout the world and automatic in-line detection was gradually introduced. A truly innovative method by Small, Stevens and Bauman at Dow Chemical Co. marked the birth of modern ion chromatography. Anions, as well as cations, could now be separated quickly and conveniently by a system of suppressed conductivity detection. A method for anion chromatography with non-suppressed conductivity detection was published by Gjerde et al. in 1979. This was followed by a similar method for cation chromatography in 1980. Ion chromatography as we know it today did not just happen. It was built on a solid foundation of knowledge that has accumulated over a period of many years. Revisiting the older ion-exchange chromatography serves not only to pay tribute to some remarkable accomplishments, but it can also be a learning experience. Trends and ideas in science tend to run in repeating cycles. Thus, an awareness of older work may provide inspiration for new research using improved contemporary technology. Selection of milestones is a rather personal matter. I chose to write about subjects of which I came to have a firsthand knowledge during my career. The topics selected are in roughly chronological order and cover the period from about 1945 to 1980. An effort has been made to explain the chemical principles as well as to recount the major accomplishments of the various research projects.

Significant differences were noted with Li+, Na+ and K+ for capillary electrophoretic runs carried out at pH 3. However, much greater differences in migration times were observed at acidic pH values when the BGE contained protonated cations of aliphatic amines. Analyte migration became progressively slower in the series: methylamine, diethylamine, diethylamino ethanol and triethylamine. A major part of this effect was attributed to an opposing electroosmotic flow (EOF) resulting from a positively-charged coating of the capillary surface with the amine cations in the BGE via a dynamic equilibrium. The amine cations also interact in solution with the analyte ions to reduce their electrophoretic mobilities. Migration times of anilines could be varied systematically over a broad range according to the BGE amine cation selected. Excellent separations of seven closely-related anilines were obtained with the new system.

They are prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) or biosynthetically by protein splicing techniques. Until recently, the chemical synthesis of C-terminal α-thioester peptides by SPPS was largely restricted to the use of Boc/Benzyl chemistry due to the poor stability of the thioester bond to the basic conditions required for the deprotection of the Nα-Fmoc group. In the present work, we describe a new method for the SPPS of C-terminal thioesters using Fmoc/t-Bu chemistry. This method is based on the use of an aryl hydrazine linker, which is totally stable to conditions required for Fmoc-SPPS. When the peptide synthesis has been completed, activation of the linker is achieved by mild oxidation. This step converts the acyl hydrazine group into a highly reactive acyl diazene intermediate which reacts with an α-amino acid alkyl thioester (H-AA-SR) to yield the corresponding peptide α-thioester in good yield. This method has been successfully used to prepare a variety of peptide thioesters, cyclic peptides, and a fully functional Src homology 3 (SH3) protein domain.

We report a synchrotron x-ray study of lead titanate as a function of temperature and film thickness for films as thin as a single unit cell. At room temperature, the ferroelectric phase is stable for thicknesses down to 3 unit cells (1.2 nanometers).

It is found that the combined effects of strain, internal electric field, and many-body Coulomb interactions lead to a significant dependence of optical properties on quantum-well configuration. In particular, the effects of the internal electric field are mitigated for certain Al concentration in the quantum well. Calculations of the emitted photon energy show good agreement with experimental measurements. Presented results are of interest for applications such as ultraviolet light-emitting diodes and lasers. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The crystal structure exhibits a Cd/TI (=M) network of concentric empty M12 and Cd12 icosahedra and M60 buckyball clusters, with the sodium cations in the annuli between clusters. The compound is unusually electron deficient with respect to electron counting rules applied to most Bergman phases with less electropositive cations, and because of the sodium component it is probably better described as an electron-poor Zintl phase. The new compound is metallic according to both EHTB band calculations for the anion and the measured resistivities and magnetic susceptibilities. Site preferences observed for Na, Cd, and TI among the seven crystallographic sites are consistent with their relative Mulliken electron populations.

In the case of two processors, the minimization of the communication can be modeled using the graph bisection problem. The spectral lower bound of λ2|V|/4 for the bisection width of a graph is widely known. The bisection width is equal to λ2|V|/4 iff all vertices are incident to λ2/2 cut edges in every optimal bisection.We present a new method of obtaining tighter lower bounds on the bisection width. This method makes use of the level structure defined by the bisection. We define some global expansion properties and we show that the spectral lower bound increases with this global expansion. Under certain conditions we obtain a lower bound depending on λ2β|V| with 1/2⩽β<1. We also present examples of graphs for which our new bounds are tight up to a constant factor. As a by-product, we derive new lower bounds for the bisection widths of 3- and 4-regular Ramanujan graphs.

Onboard the spacecraft is the Martian radiation environment experiment (MARIE), which is designed to measure the background radiation environment due to galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar protons in the 20–500 MeV/n energy range. We present an approach for developing a space radiation-shielding model of the spacecraft that includes the MARIE instrument in the current mapping phase orientation. A discussion is presented describing the development and methodology used to construct the shielding model. For a given GCR model environment, using the current MARIE shielding model and the high-energy particle transport codes, dose rate values are compared with MARIE measurements during the early mapping phase in Mars orbit. The results show good agreement between the model calculations and the MARIE measurements as presented for the March 2002 dataset.

Most probable and mean energies were determined for the sputtered ions, and their energy spectra were converted into distributions over inverse velocities. Distributions obtained for Ta and Nb displayed many similarities and no principal differences. The only differences seen were due to the difference in masses of the elements. On the other hand, strong differences were observed between results for atomic and diatomic sputtered ions and those for larger sputtered cluster ions (with more than seven atoms). The comparison of atomic and polyatomic bombardment showed dramatic changes in emission of atomic and diatomic sputtered species, and almost no differences for larger sputtered clusters.

An example of such a large dataset is a spectral image where a complete spectrum is collected for each pixel. Unfortunately, the large size of the data matrix involved makes it difficult to extract the chemical information from the data using traditional techniques. Because time constraints prevent an analysis of every peak, prior knowledge is used to select the most probable and significant peaks for evaluation. However, this approach may lead to a misinterpretation of the system under analysis. Ideally, the complete spectral image would be used to provide a comprehensive, unbiased materials characterization based on full spectral signatures.Automated eXpert spectral image analysis (AXSIA) software developed at Sandia National Laboratories implements a multivariate curve resolution technique that was originally developed for energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) [Microsci. Microanal. 9 (2003) 1]. This paper will demonstrate the application of the method to TOF-SIMS. AXSIA distills complex and very large spectral image datasets into a limited number of physically realizable and easily interpretable chemical components, including both spectra and concentrations. The number of components derived during the analysis represents the minimum number of components needed to completely describe the chemical information in the original dataset. Since full spectral signatures are used to determine each component, an enhanced signal-to-noise is realized. The efficient statistical aggregation of chemical information enables small and unexpected features to be automatically found without user intervention.

TOF-SIMS spectrum-images, comprising complete mass spectra at each point in a spatial array, are easily acquired with modern instrumentation. With the addition of depth profiling, spectra can be collected from up to three spatial dimensions leading to data sets that are seemingly unlimited in size. Multivariate statistical techniques such as principal component analysis, multivariate curve resolution and other factor analysis methods are being used to meet the challenge of turning that mountain of data into analytically useful knowledge. These methods work by extracting the essential chemical information embedded in the high dimensional data into a limited number of factors that describe the spectrally active pure components present in the sample. A review of the recent literature shows that the mass spectral data are often scaled prior to multivariate analysis. Common preprocessing steps include normalization of the pixel intensities, and auto- or variance-scaling of the mass spectra. In this paper, we will demonstrate that these pretreatments can lead to less than satisfactory results and, in fact, can be counterproductive. By taking the Poisson nature of the data into consideration, however, a scaling method can be devised that is optimal in a maximum likelihood sense. Using a simple and intuitive example, we will demonstrate the superiority of the optimal scaling approach for estimating the number of pure components, for segregating the chemical information into as few components as possible, and for discriminating small features from noise.

The analyst often selects only a few species for detailed analysis; the majority of the data are not utilized. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) have developed a powerful multivariate statistical analysis (MVSA) toolkit named AXSIA (Automated eXpert Spectrum Image Analysis) that looks for trends in complete datasets (e.g., analyzes the entire mass spectrum at each pixel). A unique feature of the AXSIA toolkit is the generation of intuitive results (e.g., negative peaks are not allowed in the spectral response). The robust statistical process is able to unambiguously identify all of the spectral features uniquely associated with each distinct component throughout the dataset. General Electric and Sandia used AXSIA to analyze raw data files generated on an Ion Tof IV ToF-SIMS instrument. Here, we will show that the MVSA toolkit identified metallic contaminants within a defect in a polymer sample. These metallic contaminants were not identifiable using standard data analysis protocol.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and TOF-SIMS analysis have, in conjunction with OH exposure studies, led to the discovery of an unrecognized buffering mechanism in the uptake and oxidation of SO2 in sea salt particles in the marine boundary layer. This chemistry may resolve some discrepancies in the atmospheric chemistry literature. Several challenges during the acquisition and interpretation of both imaging and depth profiling data on specific particles on the TEM grid identified by the SEM were overcome. A description of the analysis challenges and the solutions ultimately developed to them is presented here, along with an account of how the TOF-SIMS data were incorporated into the overall research effort. Several issues unique to the analysis of high aspect ratio particles are addressed.

Accurate determination of impurity concentration is important for understanding the optical and electrical properties of this material. A new method for background subtraction is proposed, with the main assumption that the background contribution is inversely proportional to the secondary ion matrix signal. The total impurity concentration, i.e. the sum of real and background, is given by the inverse function. Efforts are taken to reduce background limits before background subtraction is performed. As the matrix signal increases, the background contribution becomes insignificant as the total impurity level approaches the real level. Multiple data points are obtained from several sputter rates. The real impurity level is obtained from the least-squares fit of the total impurity concentration versus matrix signal. Background subtraction via inverse function is an intuitive method that can be effectively used to remove gas-phase contributions in measurements of light elements in the thin films grown by epitaxial processes.

Environ. Microbiol. 68 (8) (2002) 4067]. Our goal was to develop a peak-fitting algorithm that would successfully remove the isobaric interferences of Al- and 13C14N- from 12C15N- ions under conditions of low mass resolution inherent in environmental samples. We tested a variety of peak-fitting models and found that the EMG+GMG (E+G) model performed better than the standard peak shape shifting method under conditions of high mass resolution, unless Al- was present as an interference. Under conditions of Al- interference and low 15N content, the standard method performed better than the E+G model. As 15N content increased, the E+G model worked comparably or better than the standard method. Limited mass resolution during analysis of organic 15N standards on kaolin clay dictated using the standard method which performed acceptably on standards containing greater than 1 at.% 15N. These data emphasize the potential utility of using analytical models to resolve isobaric interferences in TOF-SIMS.

The approach uses a primary-ion beam probe (rastered 25 keV Ga+ ion source), providing high (100 nm) spatial resolution, and an ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) cell, capable of mass analysis at a resolution in excess of 105 and mass accuracy of less than 1.0 ppm. The apparatus includes a time-of-flight (ToF) mass analyzer, offering rapid chemical mapping at low (m/Δm<10,000) mass resolution to identify points of interest for subsequent high mass resolution analysis. To combine both ICR and ToF mass analysis in one instrument requires the sample to be near ground potential, to inject secondary ions into the grounded ICR cell at low enough kinetic energies to permit high trapping efficiency. Consequently, the optics and detector for ToF analysis must be electrically floating at the desired acceleration potential for the secondary ions. For high-resolution mass analysis, secondary ions are transmitted to the ICR cell, which is in line-of-sight to the sample and immersed in a homogeneous magnetic field (7 T). Initial results from the instrument show that it is possible to trap simple ions effectively for high-resolution analysis, but high-mass ions (m/z>300), although, readily detected by the ToF analyzer, are inefficiently transmitted to the ICR cell. This has stimulated the design of a new ion optics coupling arrangement, which provides a higher mass resolution over a wider mass range.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/06/15/ VL - 43 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 7443 EP - 7450 SN - 00062960 AB - We report that albumin is translocated to the nucleus in response to oxidative stress. Prior measurements have demonstrated that in concert with known transcription factors albumin binds to an antioxidant response element, which controls the expression of glutathione S-transferase and other antioxidant enzymes that function to mediate adaptive cellular responses [Holderman, M. T., Miller, K. P., Dangott, L. J., and Ramos, K. S. (2002) Mol. Pharnwzcol. 61, 1174-1183]. To investigate the mechanisms underlying this adaptive cell response, we have identified linkages between calcium signaling and the nuclear translocation of albumin in JB6 epithelial cells. Under resting conditions, albumin and the calcium regulatory protein calmodulin (CaM) co-immunoprecipitate using antibodies against either protein, indicating a tight association. Calcium activation of CaM disrupts the association between CaM and albumin, suggesting that transient increases in cytosolic calcium levels function to mobilize intracellular albumin to facilitate its translocation into the nucleus. Likewise, nuclear translocation of albumin is induced by exposure of cells to hydrogen peroxide or a phorbol ester, indicating a functional linkage between reactive oxygen species, calcium, and PKC-signaling pathways. Inclusion of an antioxidant enzyme (i.e., superoxide dismutase) blocks nuclear translocation, suggesting that the oxidation of sensitive proteins functions to coordinate the adaptive cellular response. These results suggest that elevated calcium transients and associated increases in reactive oxygen species contribute to adaptive cellular responses through the mobilization and nuclear translocation of cellular albumin.

There are two sources of information on the photospheric isotopic composition: optical observations, which have succeeded in determining a few isotopic ratios with large uncertainties, and the solar wind, measured either in situ by spacecraft instruments or as implanted ions into lunar or asteroidal soils or collection substrates. Gravitational settling from the outer convective zone (OCZ) into the radiative core is viewed as the only solar modification of solar-nebula isotopic compositions to affect all elements. Evidence for gravitational settling is indirect, as observations are presently less precise than the predictions of <10‰ effects for the isotopes of solid-forming elements. Additional solar modification has occurred for light isotopes (D, Li, Be, B) due to nuclear destruction at the base of the convection zone, and due to production by nuclear reactions of photospheric materials with high-energy particles from the corona. Isotopic fractionation of long-term average samples of solar wind has been suggested by theory. There is some evidence, though not unambiguous, indicating that interstream (slow) wind is isotopically lighter than high-speed wind from coronal holes, consistent with Coulomb drag theories. The question of fractionation has not been clearly answered because the precision of spacecraft instruments is not sufficient to clearly demonstrate the predicted fractionations, which are <30‰ per amu between fast and slow wind for most elements. Analysis of solar-wind noble gases extracted from lunar and asteroidal soils, when compared with the terrestrial atmospheric composition, also suggests solar-wind fractionation consistent with Coulomb drag theories. Observations of solar and solar-wind compositions are reviewed for nearly all elements from hydrogen to iron, as well as the heavy noble gases. Other than Li and the noble gases, there is presently no evidence for differences among stable isotopes between terrestrial and solar photosphere compositions. Although spacecraft observations of solar-wind isotopes have added significantly to our knowledge within the past decade, more substantial breakthroughs are likely to be seen within the next several years with the return of long-exposure solar-wind samples from the Genesis mission, which should yield much higher precision measurements than in situ spacecraft instruments.

During Leg 204 of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) to the accretionary complex of the Cascadia subduction zone, we sampled the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) from the seafloor to its base in contrasting geological settings defined by a 3D seismic survey. By integrating results from different methods, including several new techniques developed for Leg 204, we overcome the problem of spatial under-sampling inherent in robust methods traditionally used for estimating the hydrate content of cores and obtain a high-resolution, quantitative estimate of the total amount and spatial variability of gas hydrate in this structural system. We conclude that high gas hydrate content (30–40% of pore space or 20–26% of total volume) is restricted to the upper tens of meters below the seafloor near the summit of the structure, where vigorous fluid venting occurs. Elsewhere, the average gas hydrate content of the sediments in the gas hydrate stability zone is generally <2% of the pore space, although this estimate may increase by a factor of 2 when patchy zones of locally higher gas hydrate content are included in the calculation. These patchy zones are structurally and stratigraphically controlled, contain up to 20% hydrate in the pore space when averaged over zones ∼10 m thick, and may occur in up to ∼20% of the region imaged by 3D seismic data. This heterogeneous gas hydrate distribution is an important constraint on models of gas hydrate formation in marine sediments and the response of the sediments to tectonic and environmental change.

This area has been used since the late 1940s to store high-level radioactive waste and other products of U fuel-rod processing. Using multiple-collector ICP source magnetic sector mass spectrometry, high-precision uranium isotopic analyses were conducted of samples of vadose zone contamination and of groundwater. The isotope ratios 236U/238U, 234U/238U, and 238U/235U are used to distinguish contaminant sources. On the basis of the isotopic data, the source of the groundwater contamination appears to be related to a 1951 overflow event at tank BX-102 that spilled high-level U waste into the vadose zone. The U isotopic variation of the groundwater plume is a result of mixing between contaminant U from this spill and natural background U. Vadose zone u contamination at tank B-110 likely predates the recorded tank leak and can be ruled out as a significant source of groundwater contamination, based on the U isotopic composition. The locus of vadose zone contamination is displaced from the initial locus of groundwater contamination, indicating that lateral migration in the vadose zone was at least 8 times greater than vertical migration. The time evolution of the groundwater plume suggests an average U migration rate of ∼0.7-0.8 m/day showing slight retardation relative to a groundwater flow of ∼1 m/day.

To aid in the determination of mercury emissions from these sources, on-line mercury semicontinuous emission monitors (Hg SCEMs) have been developed and tested in recent years. Although Hg SCEMs have shown promise during these previous tests, rigorous field or long-term testing has not been done.In the past year, commercially available and prototype Hg SCEMs have been used by the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) and others at several power plants. As part of the EERC work, Hg SCEMs were operated at a range of conditions and locations. In addition, the Hg SCEMs were operated for up to 1 month. The use of Hg SCEMs at these plants allowed for near-real-time data to be collected under changing plant conditions, as well as during normal ranges of operating conditions. Mercury emission data were obtained from different plants with different configurations. The plant configurations incorporated various pollution control technologies, including selective catalytic reduction (SCR), selective noncatalytic reduction, ammonium sulfate injection for flue gas conditioning, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD). The particulate control devices included electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), a fabric filter (FF), and a venturi scrubber. The testing at these sites included the operation of Hg SCEMs before and after particulate control devices, in wet and dry stack conditions, and at high temperatures (343 °C). The results from these field measurements have provided data that have been evaluated to determine the reliability, variability, biases, and overall capability of Hg SCEMs for monitoring mercury at coal-fired utilities.Even under the best conditions, operation of Hg SCEMs is by no means simple. Their operation at high-dust-condition locations (i.e., prior to the particulate control device), wet stack conditions, and high temperatures has tested the ruggedness of the Hg SCEMs. As a result of this testing, some of the critical factors affecting accuracy, precision, and reliability have been made apparent. The overall capability of Hg SCEMs to produce near-real-time data (data every 5 min) was also evaluated under these conditions.The duration of the tests ranged from short-term periods (1–2 h) up to 1 month. Evaluation of the data over the longer-term tests shows the range of mercury emissions due to the variability of mercury in the coal and the normal range of operating parameters for the unit. The range of data is important when control strategies and managing emission inventories are considered.EPA has not determined what type of monitoring or testing requirements will be included in the upcoming electric utility mercury regulations. There is, of course, interest in requiring the use of Hg SCEMs. However, our research to date has shown that commercially available Hg SCEMs are not capable of operating unattended to produce reliable and accurate emission data.

In the laboratory-scale work, novel sorbents and techniques for the removal of mercury from flue gas are being investigated using a small packed-bed reactor. The reactor system is used to screen novel sorbents for their capability to remove mercury from gas streams. The capacities of these novel sorbents are determined as a function of gas composition and temperature and are compared to results with commercially available activated carbons. In the pilot-scale work, an existing pilot unit has been characterized with respect to the distribution and fate of hazardous air pollutants in flue gas, with an emphasis on mercury. The pilot unit is a 500-lb/h (227-kg/h) pulverized coal-fired (PCFC) combustion system that includes a furnace, air preheater, spray dryer, ductwork and a pulse-jet fabric filter. The investigations with this unit have entailed evaluation of various activated carbons and novel sorbents, as well as comparisons of various sampling techniques for the determination of total and speciated forms of mercury. The impact of various parameters (temperature, sorbent-to-mercury ratio, baghouse pressure drop) on the removal of mercury has been investigated. Additionally, a slipstream allows for the investigation of sorbent injection in a fly ash-free flue gas over a wide range of operating conditions, including residence time. A summary of the results for mercury measurement and control from the 500-lb/h (227-kg/h) PCFC combustion system will be presented, as well as the evaluation of methods for measurement of in-duct removals using the slipstream. Finally, a discussion of the numerical modeling effort will be given.

The mass of Fe(III)-(hydr)oxide mineral was varied to give equivalent Fe(III)-mineral surface areas. After equilibration, the U(VI)-mineral suspensions were inoculated with sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20. Inoculation of the suspensions containing sulfate-limited medium yielded significant G20 growth, along with concomitant reduction of sulfate and U(VI) from solution. With lactate-limited medium, however, some of the uranium that had been removed from solution was resolubilized in the hematite treatments and, to a lesser extent, in the goethite treatments, once the lactate was depleted. No resolubilization was observed in the lactate-limited ferrihydrite treatment even after a prolonged incubation of 4 months. Uranium resolubilization was attributed to reoxidation of the uraninite by Fe(III) present in the (hydr)oxide phases. Analysis by U L3-edge XANES spectroscopy of mineral specimens sampled at the end of the experiments yielded spectra similar to that of uraninite, but having distinct features, notably a much more intense and slightly broader white line consistent with precipitation of nanometer-sized particles. The XANES spectra thus provided strong evidence for SRB-promoted removal of U(VI) from solution by reductive precipitation of uraninite. Consequently, our results suggest that SRB mediate reduction of soluble U(VI) to an insoluble U(IV) oxide, so long as a suitable electron donor is available. Depletion of the electron donor may result in partial reoxidation of the U(IV) to soluble U(VI) species when the surfaces of crystalline Fe(III)-(hydr)oxides are incompletely reduced.

JO - International Journal of Fracture JF - International Journal of Fracture Y1 - 2004/06/15/ VL - 127 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 303 EP - 360 SN - 03769429 AB - Monte-Carlo simulations and theoretical modeling are used to study the statistical failure modes and associated lifetime distribution of unidirectional 2D and 3D fiber-matrix composites under constant load. Within the composite the fibers weaken over time and break randomly, and the matrix undergoes linear viscoelastic creep in shear. The statistics of fiber failure are governed by the breakdown model of Coleman (1958a), which embodies a Weibull hazard functional of fiber load history imparting power-law sensitivity to fiber load with exponent ρ, and Weibull lifetime characteristics with shape parameter β. The matrix has a power-law creep compliance in shear with exponent α. Fiber load redistribution at breaks is calculated using a shear-lag mechanics model, which is much more realistic than idealized rules based on equal, global or local load-sharing. The present study is concerned only with the `avalanche' failure regime discussed by Curtin and Scher (1997) which occurs for sufficiently large ρ, and whereby the composite lifetime distribution follows weakest-link scaling. The present Monte-Carlo failure simulations reveal two distinct failure modes within the avalanche regime: For larger ρ, where fiber failure is very sensitive to load level, the weakest link volume fails in a `brittle' manner by the gradual growth of a cluster of mostly contiguous fiber breaks, which then abruptly transitions into a catastrophic crack. For smaller ρ, where this load sensitivity is much less, the weakest link volume shows `tough' behavior, i.e., distributed damage in terms of random fiber failures until the failure of a critical volume and its catastrophic extension. The transition from brittle to tough failure mode for each ρ within the avalanche regime is gradual and depends on the matrix creep exponent α and Weibull exponent β. Also, as α increases above zero the sensitivity of median composite lifetime to load level increasingly deviates from power-law scaling known to occur in the elastic matrix case, α=0. By probabilistic modeling of the dominant failure modes in each regime we obtain distribution forms and various scalings for damage growth, and for carefully chosen sets of parameter values we analytically extend simulation results on small composites (limited by current computer power) to more realistic sizes. Our analytical strength distributions are applicable for ρ>2 in 2D, and ρ≳4 in 3D. The 2D bound coincides with the avalanche-percolation threshold derived by Curtin and Scher (1997) using entirely different arguments.

T1 - Asymmetric injection of cathodic arc plasma into a macroparticle filter. JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/06/15/ VL - 95 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 7602 EP - 7606 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The cathodic arc plasmas produced by cathode spots usually include macroparticles, which is undesirable for many applications. A common way of removing macroparticles is to use curved solenoid filters that guide the plasma from the source to the substrate. In this work, an arc source with a relatively small cathode is used, limiting the possible locations of plasma production. The relative position of cathodic arc source and macroparticle filter was systematically varied and the filtered plasma current was recorded. It was found that axis-symmetric plasma injection lead to maximum throughput only if an anode aperture was used, which limited the plasma to near-axis flow by scraping off plasma at larger angles to the axis. When the anode aperture was removed, more plasma could enter the filter. In this case, maximum filtered ion current was achieved when the plasma was injected off-axis; namely, offset in the direction where the filter is curved. Such behavior was anticipated because the plasma column in the filter is known to be shifted by E×B and centrifugal drift as well as by non-axis-symmetric components of the magnetic field in the filter entrance and exit plane. The data have implications for plasma transport variations caused by different spot locations on cathodes that are not small compared to the filter cross section. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Trigonal Se has a unique crystal structure consisting of helical [–Se–]n chains with strong intrachain covalent bonds and with weak interchain van der Waals bonds. It was found that the interchain coordination distance increased while the intrachain coordination distance decreased with increasing milling time. The crystalline Se transformed to the amorphous state once the interchain coordination distance reached a critical value. The intrachain coordination distance of amorphous Se continued to decrease with milling time, suggesting that molecular chain length decreased with milling time. Combined with the x-ray absorption near-edge structure calculations, it was concluded that the mechanical milling destroyed the interchain bonds of crystalline Se, resulting in the amorphization, while the intrachain bonds were strengthened during amorphization. The present results support a previous crystallite-destabilization model for solid-state amorphization. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The tips were coated with a tungsten carbide film, which contained a significant fraction of oxygen. The electrically conductive tip made it possible to alternate between contact measurements and noncontact scanning tunneling microscopy. Several types of interfaces were found depending on the chemical state of the surfaces. The first type is characterized by strong irreversible adhesion followed by material transfer between tip and sample. Low adhesion and no material transfer characterize a second type of contact, which are associated with the presence of passivating adsorbates in both (full passivation) or in one of the two contacting surfaces (half-passivation). Half-passivated contacts in which the clean side is the Pt(111) sample gave rise to periodic stick-slip friction behavior with a period equal to the atomic lattice constant of the Pt(111) surface. Local electrical conductivity measurements show a clear correlation between electronic and friction properties, with ohmic behavior on clean regions of the Pt surface and semiconductor-like behavior on areas covered with adsorbates. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Voids of 30–600 nm size were created before epitaxy during a high temperature anneal of the ultrathin oxide. The formation of one island per window was investigated at 700 °C as a function of Ge thickness and void size. Islands nucleate mainly at the edge of the void and for this reason they have an anisotropic shape. In voids smaller than 300 nm only one island is nucleated. Islands form only in voids greater than a critical size (30–80 nm) which depends on the total amount of Ge deposited. We observe that height, width, and aspect ratio of isolated islands increase with void size for a given Ge thickness. A metastable state of Ge in small windows was observed. Moreover, the Si interdiffusion is strongly reduced with decreasing island size (i.e., with void size) reaching only ∼10% in comparison with ∼50% in islands on large areas. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In the case of electron, small-angle diffraction can help to testify the argument about micro-crystallites in glassy states. Diffraction intensity has two types of variance in reciprocal space: radial and azimuthal. Previously, variance as a function of k was largely used to elucidate medium-range order in amorphous semiconductors. Here azimuthal variance is introduced. This variance reveals orientational order for possible crystallites. Furthermore, the oversampling method proposed here can change our view on amorphous structure. We find that a broad peak might not truly reflect one single crystallite. In fact, two reflections can be folded to yield one broad peak. In this paper, the issues are discussed with three examples: silica, silicon, and germanium. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

At high current density (e.g., 300–800 μA/cm2), the CL emission intensity of coated ZnS:Ag,Cl decayed over the first ∼15 s of electron beam irradiation, which was postulated to result from a large concentration of nonradiative surface centers generated during surface modification of the phosphor, and from localization of generated electrons at the surface due to primary beam-induced internal electric fields. During the first ∼15 s of excitation, generated electrons are postulated to be redistributed by this induced internal electric fields, resulting in increased nonradiative surface recombination between electrons and holes. The formation of a nonradiative surface layer either from electron-stimulated surface chemical reactions on coated or from heat treatment of noncoated ZnS:Ag,Cl powder phosphors were shown to affect temporal CL quenching. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The resistivity measurements are, within some small variation, in agreement with those previously reported for polycrystalline samples of similar composition. The measurement of a work function in air is often difficult to reproduce, mainly owing to the fact that it is a surface probe and can be modified significantly by attachment of contaminants from the atmosphere. Here we have obtained reproducible results that are slightly more stable than the reference metals used in the measurements. This required the introduction of a higher order correction to a common Kelvin probe experimental procedure. Another factor contributing to the high quality of the results is the low carrier density of the conducting oxides. This allows greater penetration of quasistatic electric fields. The work function results here are in overall agreement with previous photoemission work that determined an approximate electron binding energy. We find the best correlation of increased work function is to strain introduced by larger divalent ions and smaller Lanthanide ions. We conclude that the work function is dominated by electrons near the divalent site, and this is interpreted in terms of strain modifying the coulomb energy of the electronic states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The bilayers were deposited on MgO(001) substrates in an ultrahigh-vacuum ion-beam sputter system. It was found that the orientation of the MnPd unit cell and the crystalline quality could be controlled as a function of the deposition temperature. Twinned a-axis oriented MnPd films are obtained below 100 °C while single-crystalline c-axis films are obtained above 450 °C. Intermediate temperatures yield a mixture of both orientations with a poor crystalline quality. Moreover, the interface quality depends strongly on the deposition temperature and also the order in which MnPd and Fe are deposited. The results clearly show that interdiffusion is initiated at the Fe/MnPd interface at a lower temperature as compared to the MnPd/Fe interface. The close relationship between the structural and magnetic properties is also discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/06/15/ VL - 95 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 8160 EP - 8166 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The properties of FePt nanoparticles formed by the implantation of Fe+Pt into c-axis-oriented Al2O3 single crystals followed by thermal annealing are shown to be strongly dependent on the annealing environment. Annealing in a reducing environment (flowing Ar+4% H2, or ultrahigh vacuum) gives rise to ferromagnetic FePt nanoparticles with the L10 structure and very high magnetic coercivity (greater than 20 kOe). FePt alloy formation does not occur during annealing in an oxidizing environment. Instead, the implanted Pt precipitates out forming oriented Pt nanoparticles and the implanted Fe redistributes with ∼40% segregating to the surface where it forms epitaxial α-Fe2O3 precipitates at the surface; the remainder of the implanted Fe remains in the bulk, most likely in solid solution in the matrix. Results obtained by sequential annealing of Fe+Pt implanted samples in reducing (oxidizing) environments followed by annealing in an oxidizing (reducing) environment suggest that equilibrium, rather than kinetic, effects are responsible for the observed microstructures. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The morphological features, size, crystallographic orientation of the Au nanoclusters with respect to the TiO2 matrix, and the interface structure between the Au nanoclusters and TiO2 have been investigated using conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), electron diffractions, and high angle annular dark-field (HAADF) imaging in an aberration corrected scanning TEM (STEM). STEM-HAADF image directly reveals that Au atoms are in the substitutional Ti atomic columns in the TiO2 lattice prior to nucleation of Au cluster. An Atomic structural model of the interface between Au and TiO2 was established based on HRTEM and image simulations. The precipitated Au clusters show typical (111) twins. Au clusters are faceted along Au{112}, Au{111}, and Au{220} planes. Two types of orientation relationship can be identified, Au<110>//TiO2[001] and Au{111}//TiO2(200), and Au<110>//TiO2[001] and Au{111}//TiO2(110). These orientation relationships as well as the {111} twining feature in Au clusters are similarly observed for Au clusters grown on stoichiometric TiO2(110) free surface, indicating that the presently established orientation corresponds to the lowest interfacial energy for Au contacted with TiO2. This is essential for understanding the catalytic properties of Au supported on TiO2. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy analyses showed enhanced C/Si concentrations (up to 13%) at distinct locations along the SiO2/SiC interface in the MOSFETs that were not annealed in NO. In contrast, regions of enhanced C/Si concentration were not detected in the MOSFETs that were annealed in NO; instead, these samples showed a trace amount of interfacial N. The introduction of N may therefore be associated with a reduction of C in these samples and may contribute to the higher channel mobility (∼38 cm2/V s) in the samples annealed in NO relative to the samples that were not annealed in NO (∼9 cm2/V s). Rough SiO2/4H-SiC interfaces and nonuniform oxide thickness were observed on both the NO- and the non-NO-annealed samples. The rough interfaces shown in the transmission electron microscopy bright field images may also be an important factor limiting the channel mobility in SiC-based MOSFETs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Synchrotron radiation was employed for the in situ measurements in both the fusion zone (FZ) and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the weld, providing information about transformation rates under rapid heating and cooling conditions. The TRXRD data were coupled with the results of computational thermodynamic predictions of phase equilibria, and numerical modeling of the weld temperatures. The results show that significant superheat is required above the β transus temperature to complete the α→β transformation during weld heating, and that the amount of superheat decreases with distance from the center of the weld where the heating rates are lower. A Johnson–Mehl–Avrami phase transformation model yielded a set of kinetic parameters for the prediction of the α→β phase transformation during weld heating. Corresponding TRXRD measurements were made during weld cooling. In the HAZ, the β→α transformation during weld cooling was shown to initiate at the β transus temperature and terminate below the Ms temperature, resulting in a microstructure containing a substantial fraction of α′ martensite. In the FZ, the β→α transformation during weld cooling was shown to initiate below the Ms temperature, and to completely transform the microstructure to α′ martensite. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/06/15/ VL - 95 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 8357 EP - 8365 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The factors that control the stress–strain state of a polycrystal under differential stress depend on whether or not plastic deformation has occurred in the solid. If not, then the elastic properties with the constraints of the Reuss–Voigt bounds limit this relationship. If plastic deformation becomes important then the Taylor and Sachs models are relevant. These models assume that the plastic process is enabled by dislocation flow on specific lattice planes and specific Burger’s vectors. Then, the relationship between stress and strain is controlled by the orientation of an individual grain with respect to the stress field, von Mises criterion, and the critical resolved stress on the dislocation that is necessary for flow. We use a self-consistent model to predict the flow stress during the plastic deformation of polycrystalline MgO with a slip system of {110}<110>, {111}<110>, and {100}<011> at different critical resolved shear stress ratios for the different slip systems. The prediction of the models is correlated with the results of x-ray diffraction measurements. Uniaxial deformation experiments on polycrystalline and single-crystal MgO samples were conducted in situ using white x-ray diffraction with a multielement detector and multianvil high-pressure apparatus at a pressure up to 6 GPa and a temperature of 500 °C. A deformation DIA was used to generate pressure and control at a constant deformation rate. Elastic strains and plastic strains were monitored using x-ray diffraction spectra and x-ray imaging techniques, respectively. The correlation of the data and models suggests that the plastic models need to be used to describe the stress–strain observations with the presence of plasticity, while the Reuss and Voigt models are appropriate for the elastic region of deformation, before the onset of plastic deformation. The similarity of elastic strains among different lattice planes suggests that the {111} slip system is the most significant slip system in MgO at high pressure and high temperature. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Results show that electronic energy loss plays a major role in the production of lattice defects in KDP. The effective diameters of ion tracks depend superlinearly on the electronic stopping power of energetic light ions. Structural lattice disorder is also accompanied by the formation of a network of cracks and blisters on the sample surface. Such irradiation-induced cracking and blistering typically evolve over extended periods of time (e.g., days) after bombardment and are strongly affected by ion irradiation and sample storage conditions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Here, the electrochemical and physical properties of hydroquinone adsorbed on hematite surfaces at pH 2.5–3 were investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical-scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). An oxidation peak for hydroquinone was observed in the CV experiments, as well as (photo)reduction of iron and decomposition of the solvent. The EC-STM results indicate that hydroquinone sometimes forms an ordered monolayer with ∼1.1 QH2/nm2, but can be fairly disordered (especially when viewed at larger scales). XPS results indicate that hydroquinone and benzoquinone are retained at the interface in increasing amounts as the reaction proceeds, but reduced iron is not observed. These results suggest that quinones do not adsorb by an inner-sphere complex where adsorbate–surface interactions determine the adsorbate surface structure, but rather in an outer-sphere complex where interactions among the adsorbate molecules dominate.

It is possible that the rate of reductive dissolution of hematite in the presence of excess hydroquinone at pH 2.5 may be limited by the electron-transfer rate. Here, a reductive dissolution rate was measured and compared to electron-transfer rates calculated using Marcus theory. An experimental rate constant was measured at 9.5×10-6 s-1 and the reaction order with respect to the hematite concentration was found to be 1.1. Both the dissolution rate and the reaction order of hematite concentration compare well with previous measurements. Of the Marcus theory calculations, the inner-sphere part of the reorganization energy and the electronic coupling matrix element for hydroquinone self-exchange electron transfer are calculated using ab initio methods. The second order self-exchange rate constant was calculated to be 1.3×107 M-1 s-1, which compares well with experimental measurements. Using previously published data calculated for hexaquairon(III)/(II), the calculated electron-transfer rate for the cross reaction with hydroquinone also compares well to experimental measurements. A hypothetical reductive dissolution rate is calculated using the first-order electron-transfer rate constant and the concentration of total adsorbed quinone. Three different models of the hematite surface are used as well as multiple estimates for the reduction potential, the surface charge, and the adsorption density of hydroquinone. No calculated dissolution rate is less than five orders of magnitude faster than the experimentally measured one.

The reduction has been obtained by growth interruption followed by annealing in silane (SiH4). Density of threading dislocations in the GaN layer above the silane-exposed surface decreased to 5×107 cm-2 in comparison to 109 cm-2 in the layer below this surface. TEM data showed the existence of pyramidal pits at the silane-exposed surface. They were overgrown by the subsequent GaN layer. The presence of these pits indicates that the GaN surface was selectively etched during the silane flow. These pits were sites where dislocations drastically changed propagation direction from parallel to the c-axis to horizontal. Horizontal propagation of dislocations above the surface treated by silane (where formation of SiN was expected) suggests that the GaN layer in this region was grown in the lateral epitaxial overgrowth mode. EDX measurements performed at the interface between the SiH4-treated GaN layer and the subsequently grown GaN did not show any presence of Si. Therefore, it is believed that the dislocation reduction is related to the lateral overgrowth above the pits and not to the formation of a SiN interlayer.

The germanium incorporation is studied as a function of the germanium effusion cell temperature and growth temperature of the GaN layer. The influence of the doping concentration on the electrical, structural and morphological properties of the GaN layer will be studied using Hall and high-resolution X-ray measurements (rocking curve and θ-2θ) measurements. Optical examination of the surface morphology was performed with differential interference contrast microscopy, a scanning electron microscope or transmission electron microscope. Doping of GaN with germanium results in crack-free n-type material up to values of n=4×1020 cm-3 with a 1:1 relation between carrier concentration and vapor pressure. Even higher carrier concentrations can be obtained, n=3.6×1021 cm-3, but there are indications that the solubility limit of germanium in GaN of these layers is exceeded, thereby deteriorating the morphology of the surface of the layer and changing the electrical and structural properties. TEM measurements reveal that secondary phases are indeed formed.

Powder X-ray diffraction data confirmed the hexagonal AlNiZr-type structure (P&6macr;2 m space group), an ordered variant of the Fe2P structure type. Antiferromagnetic ordering can be inferred from magnetization, resistance and specific heat measurements, with values of TN between 28.5 K for TbAgGe and 1.0 K for YbAgGe, which scale roughly with the de Gennes factor. Anisotropic M(H) measurements indicate one or more metamagnetic transitions when the external field is applied along the c-axis (for R=Tb) or perpendicular to it (R=Ho, Er, Tm), or even in both orientations as in the case of DyAgGe. Furthermore, the extreme anisotropy of the magnetization in TmAgGe, where magnetic moments lie in the ab-plane, provides the possibility of studying the angular dependence of metamagnetism in hexagonal compounds with the rare earth in orthorhombic point symmetry. YbAgGe has distinct properties from the rest of the series: an enhanced electronic specific heat coefficient γ≈(154.2±2.5) mJ/mol K2 and apparently small moment magnetic ordering below 1.0 K. This compound appears to be close to a quantum critical point.

SN - 00222461 AB - Alloys based on intermetallics have been considered for high temperature structural applications. However, many of these alloys suffer from intrinsic brittleness and low fracture toughness at ambient temperature. Therefore, ductile-phase-toughened intermetallic composites are being investigated as a means to improve the fracture toughness. A subset of this class of materials is in-situ composites produced by directional solidification of intermetallic eutectics. In this paper, we review recent developments related to the processing and properties of these composites.

The structural results are subsequently used to test the validity of a recently proposed hypothesis, which equates the ion effect to a pressure or temperature effect on the structure of water in the aqueous solution. The simulation results indicate unequivocally that the changes of the water structure caused by the presence of ions in solution cannot be emulated as a pressure effect due to the local nature of such structure perturbation.

Samples were deposited at 250, 300 and 420 K. The self-bias voltage (Vb) ranged from -50 to -500 V. The deposition rates are temperature dependent in agreement with the adsorbed layer model and the films deposited at low-temperature substrate have a polymeric character, revealed by the high hydrogen content, low-density and internal stress. AFM results show that both the substrate temperature and the argon ion assistance bombardment have the same effect on the surface roughness, i.e., they increase the surface mobility of the adsorbed species, resulting in films with lower surface roughness. Raman results revealed an increase of the sp2 domains upon increase of self-bias voltage that is more important for films deposited at high-temperature. Independent on the substrate temperature, internal stress and hardness results present a maximum at around Vb=-160 V for films deposited in Ar–CH4 atmospheres, while it appears at higher Vb for films deposited from pure methane atmosphere. These results confirm the importance of the ion bombardment during film growth on the mechanical properties of the films.

The films were deposited on glass substrates by spin casting, and were characterized with positron annihilation, microscopy and other techniques with regard to thickness, and structural homogeneity. The unblended polymers have positron annihilation characteristics similar to most non-polar polymers, exhibiting a relatively broad electron momentum distribution, a long-lived (>1 ns) positron state corresponding to the formation of orthopositronium, and strong-localization of the positron. Blending with PCBM causes the sample electron momentum distribution to narrow, and results in a single state with a lifetime of around 370 ps in both polymer mixtures. We postulate that this state corresponds to annihilation with low-momentum electrons in the fullerene cage.

For the Fe case, we find an appreciable effect on VAB depending on whether the minority spin electron occupies the dxy orbital or a mixture of dxz/dyz orbitals in the FeII ion. While these two possible nearly isoenergetic electron accepting states alter the magnitude and distance dependence of VAB, they do not affect the internal reorganization energy λI to any significant level. The magnitude and distance dependence of VAB are found to be strongly dependent on encounter orientation, as expected. VAB values for corner-to-corner encounter orientations are substantially larger at any given ET distance considered than those for face-to-face encounter orientations. Values of the decay parameter β are in good agreement with well-accepted values. The adiabaticity criterion is tied to orientation and distance dependence of VAB.

Knob proteins with functional binding sites for the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) were cleared rapidly from the circulation, with radioactivity appearing predominantly in the stomach, while knob mutants unable to bind to CAR remained in the blood circulation for a prolonged period. The clearance of radiolabeled wild-type knob from the blood was slowed by coinjecting an excess of unlabeled wild-type knob protein. An earlier study showed that 99mTc-labeled knob protein with intact CAR-binding activity also cleared rapidly from the blood circulation of mice, with radioactivity accumulating predominantly in the liver (K. R. Zinn et al., Gene Ther. 5:798-808, 1998). Together these results suggest that rapid clearance of knob protein from the blood results from specific binding to CAR in the liver and that the bound knob then enters a degradative pathway. The elevated levels of radioiodine in the stomach observed in our experiments are consistent with deiodination of labeled knob by dehalogenases in hepatocyte microsomes and uptake of the resultant free radioiodine by Na/I symporters in the gastric mucosa. Although CAR has been shown to localize in tight junctions of polarized epithelial cells, where it functions in intercellular adhesion, the results of our study suggest that a subset of CAR molecules in the liver is highly accessible to ligands in the blood and able to rapidly deliver bound ligand to an intracellular degradative compartment.

Isothermal and cyclic weight gain measurements indicated that protective scales formed on the alloy at 900 and 1000 °C. At 1100 °C, massive scale spallation after 220 h of exposure was observed for cyclic oxidation conditions. The oxide scales consisted mainly of an outer NiO oxide layer, and inner, mixed oxides of α-Al2O3, NiAl2O4, and (monoclinic, tetragonal)-ZrO2. Some alumina and zirconia existed as internal oxide stringers. The oxide grains were frequently incorporated with dissolved, foreign cations such as Cr or Ni to a certain extent.

Both the γ → δ and δ → γ transformations are monitored as a function of time during the rapid spot weld heating and cooling cycles. These observations are then correlated with calculated thermal cycles. Where the peak temperatures are highest (∼1342 °C), the γ → δ transformation proceeds to completion, leaving a ferritic microstructure at the end of heating. With lower peak temperatures, the γ → δ transformation proceeds to only partial completion, resulting in a microstructure containing both transformed and untransformed austenite. Further analyses of the individual diffraction patterns show shifts in the peak positions and peak widths as a function of both time and temperature. In addition, these changes in the peak characteristics are correlated with measured changes in the ferrite volume fraction. Such changes in the peak positions and widths during the γ → δ transformation provide an indication of changes occurring in each phase. These changes in peak properties can be correlated with the diffusion of nitrogen and other substitutional alloying elements, which are recognized as the primary mechanisms for this transformation. Upon cooling, the δ → γ transformation is observed to proceed from both the completely and partially transformed microstructural regions in the TRXRD data. An examination of the resulting microstructures confirms the TRXRD observation as the evidence shows that austenite both nucleates and grows from the ferritic microstructure at locations closest to the fusion zone boundary and grows from untransformed austenite grains at locations further from this boundary.

JO - Molecular & Cellular Biology JF - Molecular & Cellular Biology Y1 - 2004/06/15/ VL - 24 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 5314 EP - 5323 SN - 02707306 AB - Vault poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (VPARP) was originally identified as a minor protein component of the vault ribonucleoprotein particle, which may be involved in molecular assembly or subcellular transport. In addition to the association of VPARP with the cytoplasmic vault particle, subpopulations of VPARP localize to the nucleus and the mitotic spindle, indicating that VPARP may have other cellular functions. We found that VPARP was associated with telomerase activity and interacted with exogenously expressed telomerase-associated protein 1 (TEP1) in human cells. To study the possible role of VPARP in telomerase and vault complexes in vivo, mVparp-deficient mice were generated. Mice deficient in mVparp were viable and fertile for up to five generations, with no apparent changes in telomerase activity or telomere length. Vaults purified from mVparpdeficient mouse liver appeared intact, and no defect in association with other vault components was observed. Mice deficient in mTep1, whose disruption alone does not affect telomere function but does affect the stability of vault RNA, showed no additional telomerase or telomere-related phenotypes when the mTep1 deficiency was combined with an mVparp deficiency. These data suggest that murine mTep1 and mVparp, alone or in combination, are dispensable for normal development, telomerase catalysis, telomere length maintenance, and vault structure in vivo.

Such systems include magnetic films, Langmuir monolayers, polymers, gels, water–oil mixtures, and two-dimensional electron systems. In many of these systems quenched disorder from the underlying substrate may be present. We examine the dynamics and stripe formation in the presence of both an applied dc drive and quenched disorder. When the disorder strength exceeds a critical value, an applied dc drive can induce a dynamical stripe ordering transition to a state that is more ordered than the originating undriven, unpinned pattern. We also consider the melting transition of the different patterns.

The interpretation of these seismological models in terms of chemical composition and temperature thus relies on the knowledge of the chemical composition, structure and elastic properties of some candidate materials relevant to geophysics. We will describe some recent advances in experimental mineral physics which yield essential information on the elastic properties of pertinent materials of Earth’s mantle and core. In particular, we show that inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) proves to be a well suited spectroscopic technique for the study of phonon dispersion in materials under high pressure. Inelastic scattering experiments carried out on polycrystalline samples provide measurements of orientationally averaged longitudinal acoustic velocities whereas investigations on single crystals yield elastic moduli. Such a technique is thus highly interesting for mineral physicists and offers a great potential in providing essential elastic data and their pressure and/or temperature dependence on most compounds of geophysical interest.

We used the Ångström method on cylindrical samples in multianvil apparatus at pressures up to 20 GPa and temperatures up to 1373 K. Because of the fine polycrystallinity of the specimens (∼30-40 μm or less), there is strong scattering/absorption of light and suppression of radiative transport so that the lattice vibrational component is the dominant heat transfer mode. Lattice thermal conductivities were calculated from the thermal diffusivity results using heat capacity and equation of state data. Olivine thermal conductivities are consistent with previous results obtained at 1 atm [e.g. J. Am. Ceramic Soc. 38 (1954) 107; J. Geophys. Res. 77 (1972) 6966; Science 283 (1999) 1699]. Thermal conductivity increases by approximately 30% at the transition from olivine to wadsleyite (corresponding to the 410 km discontinuity) and a further, but smaller, increase may occur at the transition from wadsleyite to ringwoodite. For each of these phases, lattice conductivity closely follows a T-1/2 dependence on temperature T [Phys. Rev. 119 (1960) 507; J. Geophys. Res. 79 (1974) 703; Brown, 2002]. If such a dependence applies to other silicates and complex crystals, there should be a useful way to estimate conductivities at high temperatures from room temperature measurements.

These PANI–graphite thin films have a graphite-rich layer that renders composite thin film conductive at all redox states. The asymmetric distribution of graphite also allows for a bending movement as the films are subjected to electrochemical oxidation and reduction. The unique asymmetric structure and high conductivity of the films allow the actuators to be operated at lower redox potentials, with larger bending angles and longer life cycles. Our study also shows that most of the bending movements occur during the transition between the emeraldine base and the pernigraniline base. Judging from the CV and from the current generated when the square wave potential is applied, we note that the actuators appear very stable and show no signs of degradation after 50,000 working cycles operated at 1 Hz. The life cycles of these actuators exceed 120,000 cycles (>33.6 h) in a 1.0 M CH3SO3H aqueous solution. As we extend the oxidation potential to greater than 0.8 V, the PANI–graphite thin film starts to degrade with time. These results reveal the optimum conditions under which the actuators should be operated.

Such coevolution at the amino acid-sequence level is well documented and has been used to predict interacting proteins, domains, and amino acids. Interacting proteins are also often precisely coexpressed with one another, presumably to maintain proper stoichiometry among interacting components. Here, we show that the expression levels of physically interacting proteins coevolve. We estimate average expression levels of genes from four closely related fungi of the genus Saccharomyces using the codon adaptation index and show that expression levels of interacting proteins exhibit coordinated changes in these different species. We find that this coevolution of expression is a more powerful predictor of physical interaction than is coevolution of amino acid sequence. These results demonstrate that gene expression levels can coevolve, adding another dimension to the study of the coevolution of interacting proteins and underscoring the importance of maintaining coexpression of interacting proteins over evolutionary time. Our results also suggest that expression coevolution can be used for computational prediction of protein-protein interactions.

The performance of these sensors depends on a number of parameters, including the geometry and concentration of the conductive component dispersed in the polymer. In this study, 64 chemiresistors representing eight different carbon concentrations (8–60 vol.% carbon) were constructed by depositing thin films of a carbon black–polyisobutylene composite onto concentric spiral platinum electrodes on a silicon chip. The impact of carbon concentration and geometry on the measured resistance and derived resistivity of the polymer composite was determined. The thickness and surface topography of each sensor was measured with a mechanical profilometer, and the resistance of each sensor was measured in dry air at room temperature. Finite element modeling was used to correlate the thickness and measured electrical resistance with the intrinsic resistivity of the polymer–carbon composite. The derived resistivity data fit the general effective media (GEM) model adequately, and the fitted parameters predicted values for percolation threshold and carbon resistivity that were consistent with published literature. Further finite element modeling showed that resistivity was a strong function of composite composition and thickness, but was relatively insensitive to the surface roughness of the composite on the sensor. The correlations developed herein can be used in reverse to calculate the thickness of the composite polymer film deposited on the solid substrate from a measurement of resistance in dry air.

We compare plain M3EH-PPV devices to M3EH-PPV:CN-ether-PPV blend devices, demonstrating the improved performance of blends. We vary the polymer layer thickness and device electrodes for M3EH-PPV:CN-ether-PPV polymer blend devices to investigate the factors limited device efficiency. We find that although the blends allow exciton dissociation to take place throughout the polymer layer, these devices are still limited by transport properties rather than by light absorption. Our best blend device, made with indium-tin oxide and Ca electrodes, gives a power conversion efficiency ηp=1.0%.

Recently, the article authors reported on the intramolecular alkylation of aromatic imines in which the alkene is tethered meta to the imine. This reaction exhibits a much broader alkene scope than that obtained in related systems and provides an efficient route to functionalized bicyclic ring systems that would be difficult to access by other methods. By allowing the coupling of highly substituted alkenes, this reaction enables the preparation of branched products bearing stereocenters. This article reports on development of an asymmetric variant of these reactions, leading to the first highly enantioselective catalytic reaction involving aromatic C-H bond activation.

The nanoparticle system thus prepared has the flexibility to conjugate with cell targeting agents via either carboxylic or amine terminal groups for a number of biomedical applications, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and controlled drug delivery. The trifluoroethylester silane was synthesized by modifying a PEG diacid to form the corresponding bistrifluoroethylester (TFEE), followed by a reaction with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS). The APS coupled with PEG chains confers the stability of PEG self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and increases the PEG packing density on nanoparticles by establishing hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl and amine groups present within the monolayer structure. The success of the synthesis of the PEG TEFE silane was confirmed with 1H NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The conjugating flexibility of the PEG TEFE was demonstrated with folic acid that had carboxylic acid groups and amine terminal groups, respectively, and was confirmed by FTIR. TEM analysis showed the well-dispersed nanoparticles before and after they were coated with PEG and folic acid.

We used the anelastic liquid approximation with Earth-like material parameters. The usual variable-viscosity approach in mantle-convection models is the assumption of a temperature dependence only. The resulting thermal boundary layers are included in our model also, but an additional viscosity profile of the interior mantle was derived: The Birch–Murnaghan equation was employed to derive the Grüneisen parameter and other physical quantities as a function of depth from observational values provided by PREM. We computed the melting temperature and a new mantle viscosity profile, called eta3, using the Grüneisen parameter, Lindemann''s law and some solid-state physics considerations. The new features of eta3 are a high-viscosity transition layer with rather high viscosity gradients at its boundaries, a second low-viscosity layer beginning under the 660-km discontinuity, and a strong viscosity increase in the central parts of the lower mantle. The rheology is Newtonian but it is supplemented by a viscoplastic yield stress, σy. A viscosity-level parameter, rn, and σy have been varied. For a medium-sized Rayleigh-number–yield-stress area, eta3 generates a stable, plate-tectonic behavior near the surface and simultaneously thin sheet-like downwellings in the depth. Outside this area, three other types of solution were found. Not only the planforms but also the evolution of the Rayleigh number, the reciprocal Urey number, the Nusselt number, the surface heat flow, etc., have been studied. We repeated this investigation with two very different basic viscosity profiles, etaKL5a and etaKM, of other authors. A comparison reveals that eta3 facilitates the generation of surface plates and thin sheet-like downwellings in the depth considerably more than etaKL5a or even etaKM. The presence of two internal low-viscosity layers is obviously conducive for plateness and thin sheet-like downwellings. For an infinite yield stress, the thin cold sheet-like downwellings are reticularly connected. However, the distribution of the downwellings is more Earth-like if a realistic yield stress is added.

Here we report the crystal structure of the five-protein clamp loader complex (replication factor-C, RFC) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, bound to the sliding clamp (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA). Tight interfacial coordination of the ATP analogue ATP-?S by RFC results in a spiral arrangement of the ATPase domains of the clamp loader above the PCNA ring. Placement of a model for primed DNA within the central hole of PCNA reveals a striking correspondence between the RFC spiral and the grooves of the DNA double helix. This model, in which the clamp loader complex locks onto primed DNA in a screw-cap-like arrangement, provides a simple explanation for the process by which the engagement of primer-template junctions by the RFC:PCNA complex results in ATP hydrolysis and release of the sliding clamp on DNA.

The complete specification of the quantum state of a system generally requires an infinite amount of information, even for simple two-level systems (qubits). Moreover, the principles of quantum mechanics dictate that any measurement on a system immediately alters its state, while yielding at most one bit of information. The transfer of a state from one system to another (by performing measurements on the first and operations on the second) might therefore appear impossible. However, it has been shown that the entangling properties of quantum mechanics, in combination with classical communication, allow quantum-state teleportation to be performed. Teleportation using pairs of entangled photons has been demonstrated, but such techniques are probabilistic, requiring post-selection of measured photons. Here, we report deterministic quantum-state teleportation between a pair of trapped calcium ions. Following closely the original proposal, we create a highly entangled pair of ions and perform a complete Bell-state measurement involving one ion from this pair and a third source ion. State reconstruction conditioned on this measurement is then performed on the other half of the entangled pair. The measured fidelity is 75%, demonstrating unequivocally the quantum nature of the process.

Although this prediction has been widely accepted in the physics community, it is inconsistent with quantum mechanics because it conflicts with the need for a universal time to define Schrödinger''s equation. It has been pointed out [Philos. Mag. B 281 (2001) 235, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 18 (2003) 831] that this inconsistency can be avoided if it is assumed that as the surface where general relativity predicts that the event horizon would be located is approached, the redshift does not actually go to infinity, but instead undergoes a continous phase transition to a de Sitter phase where the vacuum energy is much larger than the cosmological vacuum energy. Although we do not have a fundamental theory of such a phase transition, many features of quantum phase transitions are universal. This universality allows us to make predictions concerning the behavior of matter as it encounters the quantum critical region that replaces the event horizon. One of these predictions is that the nucleons falling onto the critical surface will decay directly into multi-MeV leptons and gamma rays with a characteristic spectrum. As it happens there are some hints from the spectra of cosmic gamma ray bursts and observations of positrons from the center of our galaxy that this is correct.

Theories with warped extra dimensions provide natural candidates in the Kaluza–Klein excitations of gluons in scenarios where flavor-breaking by bulk fermion masses results in the localization of fermion wave-functions. Topcolor models, in which a new gauge interaction leads to top-condensation and a large top mass, also result in the presence of these color–octet states with TeV masses. We find that large effects are possible in modes such as B→φKs, B→η′Ks and B→π0Ks among others.

The resultant products were isolated as [Mg(OAc)2]3(HOAc)2(H2O)2 · 2(HOAc) (1), [Mg(OPc)2(HOPc)]6 (2), Mg(OBc)2(HOBc)4 (3) and [Mg(ONc)2(HONc)]6 (4). Compound 1 is trinuclear wherein the two terminal octahedral (Oh) bound Mg metal centers possess one terminal water, one terminal, one unidentate bridging and two bidentate bridging OAc ligands that symmetrically bind to the central Oh bound Mg cation. The water in 1 is believed to be generated in situ through an esterification process. In contrast, each of the six Mg atoms of 2 or 4 adopt a trigonal bipyramidal geometry by coordinating one terminal and four bidentate bridging ORc ligands that yield a ring (diameter 6.54 Å for 2 and 6.57 Å for 4) of bridging ORc ligands. Compound 3 binds two terminal OBc ligands and four terminal HOBc ligands to yield a monomeric complex with no water present. Standard analytical data were obtained but did not add significant amounts of information concerning the bulk properties of 1–4. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermal analysis indicated the melting point of these species was tunable.

Recently, it has been suggested that for small Courant numbers these terms may dominate the streamline diffusion term, ostensibly causing destabilization of the SUPG method. While consistent with a straightforward finite element stability analysis, this contention is not supported by computational experiments and contradicts earlier Von-Neumann stability analyses of the semidiscrete SUPG equations. This prompts us to re-examine finite element stability of the fully discrete SUPG equations. A careful analysis of the additional terms reveals that, regardless of the time step size, they are always dominated by the consistent mass matrix. Consequently, SUPG cannot be destabilized for small Courant numbers. Numerical results that illustrate our conclusions are reported.

The kinematics of deformation of the element include finite rotation and warping of the cross-section due to torsion. The material inelasticity is based on a two-space model that includes the effect of shear stresses due to uniform torsion in addition to normal stresses due to axial force, biaxial bending, and bimoment. Initial geometric imperfections and residual stresses are accommodated. The formulation is based on a two-field (displacement and generalized stress) Hellinger–Reissner (HR) variational principle. The interpolation of the generalized stresses (i.e., cross-section stress resultants) along the element length is based on the geometrically-exact nonlinear governing differential equations of equilibrium. This leads to significant improvements in the accuracy over conventional displacement-based elements in problems involving highly nonlinear variations in the curvature along the member lengths due to geometric nonlinearity and/or distributed plasticity effects. Several numerical examples involving two- and three-dimensional elastic and inelastic stability behavior are presented to illustrate the capabilities of the formulation.

Immunological techniques confirmed several of the changes in protein expression, but microarray analysis indicated that many of these changes were not accompanied by altered mRNA expression. Proteome analysis revealed perturbations in mitochondrial function, free radical production, and neuritogenesis that were not observed in p53-deficient neurons. Changes in Tau, cofilin, and other proteins recapitulated abnormalities observed in neurodegenerative states in vivo. Additionally, DNA damage caused a p53-dependent decrease in expression of members of the protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway. PKA inhibition promoted death in the absence of DNA damage, revealing a novel mechanism by which endogenous down-regulation of PKA signaling may contribute to p53-dependent neuronal death. These data demonstrate the power of high throughput mass spectrometry for quantitative analysis of the neuronal proteome.

This article examines the components of the protective action decision process and describes steps that should be taken in a planning context to prepare for efficient decision making during an emergency. Methods of organizing information to facilitate decision making are identified, and a model useful for detailed analysis of specific emergency scenarios is described.

XPS and UPS results showed that the vanadium was predominantly in the 5+ oxidation state after deposition of a monolayer at 525 K. After 1 ML of vanadia was deposited, the anatase (1 × 4)/(4 × 1) LEED and RHEED patterns were replaced by (1 × 1) patterns indicating that the vanadia lifts the reconstruction and suggesting that the monolayer is pseudomorphic. At 525 K, the V5+ oxidation state predominated in thicker films, however, no discernible LEED or RHEED patterns were seen after a few monolayers were deposited indicating that V2O5 epitaxy cannot be continued beyond 1 ML. When the growth temperature was increased to 750 K, RHEED patterns indicated no change in the surface structure after more than 20 ML of vanadia were deposited. Under these conditions, XPS peak positions were consistent with VO2. After growth at 775 K a c(2 × 2) LEED pattern attributed to half a monolayer of adsorbed oxygen on the VO2 surface was observed. The surface characterization data all pointed towards pseudomorphic growth of VO2 with a half monolayer of capping oxygen allowing the monolayer to achieve the V2O5 stoichiometry while maintaining the anatase structure. Bulk XRD data, however, were consistent with VO2(B), V6O13, and rutile VO2; none of which expose surfaces with the periodicity observed with RHEED and LEED. The reasons for the differences between the surface and bulk characterization are discussed.

A simple model indicates that smaller particles have a higher zinc evaporation rate during the in-flight time. However, the significant decrease of zinc in smaller ferrite particles is mainly attributed to their large surface-to-volume ratio. Compositional differences due to a random cation distribution condition results in magnetic property variations among MZF splats. The coating inhomogeneity due to zinc loss increases the coercivity of the plasma-sprayed MnZn ferrites. The magnetic properties of the MnZn ferrites can be improved through long-range (diffusion) and short-range (ordering) cation redistribution upon low temperature annealing.

In this superlattice, the basis contains two unequal wells, with which more energy states are created for broadband absorption. At the same time, responsivity is more uniform within the detection band because of mixing of wave functions from the two wells. This uniform line shape is particularly suitable for spectroscopy applications. The detector is designed to cover the entire 8–14 μm long-wavelength atmospheric window. The observed spectral widths are 5.2 and 5.6 μm for two nominally identical wafers. The photoresponse spectra from both wafers are nearly unchanged over a wide range of operating bias and temperature. The background-limited temperature is 50 K at 2 V bias for F/1.2 optics.

Several potential applications require significant spacing between individual CNTs. The first method shows that the site density varies with the heat of formation of the hydrocarbon gas used during CNT growth by thermal chemical vapor deposition. The second method demonstrates that the site density decreases with increasing residual stress of the metal catalyst/diffusion barrier layers. These methods are combined for wide-range control of CNT site density.

Island growth location has been controlled by using an ex situ Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) to modify the growth surface in discrete locations prior to island synthesis. The FIB modifications have generated surface topography with lateral dimensions of 150–200 nm. Ex situ atomic force microscopy study after island growth reveals that certain FIB substrate modification and MBE growth condition combinations lead to directed self-assembly of metal oxide islands at the edges of the FIB modified zones.

The experiments are performed by velocity-mapped ion imaging with polarized 1+1′ REMPI of the scattered NO product. Differential cross-sections (DCSs), corrected for alignment effects, are also reported. While the alignment correction is important, it does not change the positions of the observed rotational rainbows. The alignment moments and DCSs are compared with calculations using Alexander''s CCSD(T) PESs. The theoretical and experimental DCSs show excellent agreement, as do the theoretical and experimental alignment moments for low Δj. For high Δj collisions and back-scattered trajectories, which sample the hard wall of the PES, the theoretical and experimental alignment moments show less agreement.

Gas- and solution-phase (CHCl3) formation energies for dimeric, trimeric, and tetrameric species are reported. Favorable gas-phase thermodynamics were calculated and found to favor tetrameric structures for all Znq2 chelates (~−50 kcal/mol for monomer dimerization to ~−35 kcal/mol for dimer dimerization), with the exception of 2Meq2Zn, which gave lower formation energies by 30−45% due to steric hindrance. Solvation model computations indicate that these energies are reduced by ~10−25% with the introduction of a dielectric medium. Computed structural parameters for the basic Zn−O core structure formed via bridging of phenolato oxygens do not change significantly as oligomer growth progresses. Size-exclusion chromatography experiments of crystalline and amorphous films (vapor deposited) dissolved in CHCl3 or CHCl3/DMSO mixtures showed that the dominant species for Znq2, 4Meq2Zn, and 5Meq2Zn is tetrameric, but partial disassociation to monomers can occur in the presence of nucleophilic solvent. The sterically hindered 2Meq2Zn was monomeric in all solvent systems. Implications for organic light-emitting devices using these materials are discussed.

These molecules display efficient (>96%) fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the periphery to the core on selective excitation of the two-photon absorbing chromophore by either UV (linear absorption) or high-intensity IR (nonlinear absorption) radiation. In addition, a significant increase in core emission is observed on excitation of the peripheral chromophores, compared to direct excitation of the core. This “antenna effect” essentially doubles between increasing dendrimer generations within a series. The combination of the ability of the peripheral chromophores to absorb high-intensity IR radiation, coupled with a very efficient energy transfer process and a significant increase in the fluorescence of the acceptor chromophore, makes these molecules potentially useful for a variety of applications, including optical power limiting and biomedical imaging.

Through choice of deposition conditions, the degree of loading in these nanotube-anchor structures can be controlled to achieve sub-monolayer, monolayer, or greater-than-monolayer coverage. This level of control represents a potential advantage of SCFs over liquid solvents for anchor deposition. Employment of the described technique is expected to enable the direct addition of desired chemical functionality to many carbon nanotube structures for a variety of applications.

After polarizing at 15 T and 17 mK and subsequently reaching a frozen spin mode, a target was cold extracted (at 2.5 K and 0.016 T) and installed into an In-Beam Cryostat (IBC) which held the target at 0.7 T and 1.25 K. In-beam relaxation times of 13 days for polarized hydrogen and 36 days for polarized deuterium have been measured. Data were taken with 30% polarized-H and 6% polarized-D, although higher polarization levels have been achieved. Several new improvements are being implemented to improve the operating parameters of polarized HD targets. These include the fabrication of a vibration isolator to lower the polarizing temperature, the purchase of a new IBC to reach longer in-beam relaxation times with higher field and lower temperature (1 T and 200 mK), the construction of a new cold transfer cryostat with a higher field (0.13 T) to reduce polarization loss during target transfers, and the installation of a much improved NMR system for polarization calibration and online monitoring. A summary of the existing data, the ongoing modifications and projection for future performance will be discussed.

Data from these sampling sites were characterized by one to three-day episodes with PM2.5 concentrations (constructed from the sum of the chemical components) exceeding 40.0 μg m-3. The episodes were dominated by high concentrations of ammonium sulfate. The fine particle concentrations were compared with meteorological data from surface weather maps and a Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT model), with back-trajectories estimated over 24 h. High PM2.5 concentrations were associated with transition from a high pressure to a low pressure regime in advance of an approaching frontal system indicating long-range transport of pollutants. In contrast, fine particulate organic material appeared to be dominated by nearby sources. Distinct differences were observed in the diurnal variations in concentration between the two sites. The NETL site showed clear maximum concentrations of semi-volatile organic material (SVOM) during midday, and minimum concentrations of nonvolatile organic compounds in the afternoon. In contrast, the Carnegie Mellon PAQS site showed an absence of diurnal variation in SVOM, but still with minimum concentrations of nonvolatile organic compounds in the afternoon and evening. Neither site showed significant diurnal variation in ammonium sulfate.

The temperature and pressure hystereses were found to be equivalent with regard to the Gibbs free energy barrier for nucleation of liquid or solid. These results place upper bounds on hysteretic effects of solidification and melting in high heating- and strain-rate experiments such as shock wave loading and release. The authors also demonstrate that the equilibrium melting temperature at a given pressure can be obtained directly from temperatures at the maximum superheating and supercooling on the temperature hysteresis; this approach, called the hysteresis method, is a conceptually simple and computationally inexpensive alternative to solid–liquid coexistence simulation and thermodynamic integration methods, and should be regarded as a general method. We also found that the extent of maximum superheating/supercooling is weakly pressure dependent, and the solid–liquid interfacial energy increases with pressure. The Lindemann fractional root-mean-squared displacement of solid and liquid at equilibrium and extreme metastable states is quantified, and is predicted to remain constant (0.14) at high pressures for solid at the equilibrium melting temperature.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Experimental wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS), x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy measurements show a large increase in crystallinity associated with water addition, in agreement with molecular dynamics (MD) predictions. Here we perform first-shell EXAFS and pair distribution function analysis and whole-nanoparticle calculations of WAXS, EXAFS and XANES to compare structural data with the MD predictions. The predicted WAXS patterns give excellent agreement with data, while the predicted EXAFS and XANES spectra give poor agreement. Relative to WAXS, XANES and EXAFS spectra contain additional structural information related to the distribution of disorder. The discrepancy between the x-ray diffraction and x-ray absorption results indicates that structural disorder is partitioned between interior and surface regions more strongly than predicted in the MD simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The alkanols adsorb to the interface to form a monolayer. The highest density, lowest temperature monolayers contain alkanol molecules with progressive disordering of the chain from the -CH2OH to the -CH3 group. In the terminal half of the chain that includes the -CH3 group the chain density is similar to that observed in bulk liquid alkanes just above their freezing temperature. The density in the alkanol headgroup region is 10% greater than either bulk water or the ordered headgroup region found in alkanol monolayers at the water–vapor interface. We conjecture that this higher density is a result of water penetration into the headgroup region of the disordered monolayer. A ratio of 1:3 water to alkanol molecules is consistent with our data. We also place an upper limit of one hexane to five or six alkanol molecules mixed into the alkyl chain region of the monolayer. In contrast, H(CH2)30OH at the water–vapor interface forms a close-packed, ordered phase of nearly rigid rods. Interfacial tension measurements as a function of temperature reveal a phase transition at the water–hexane interface with a significant change in interfacial excess entropy. This transition is between a low temperature interface that is nearly fully covered with alkanols to a higher temperature interface with a much lower density of alkanols. The transition for the shorter alkanols appears to be first order whereas the transition for the longer alkanols appears to be weakly first order or second order. The x-ray data are consistent with the presence of monolayer domains at the interface and determine the domain coverage (fraction of interface covered by alkanol domains) as a function of temperature. This temperature dependence is consistent with a theoretical model for a second order phase transition that accounts for the domain stabilization as a balance between line tension and long range dipole forces. Several aspects of our measurements indicate that the presence of domains represents the appearance of a spatially inhomogeneous phase rather than the coexistence of two homogeneous phases. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Molar extinction coefficients for these anions and photoproducts of electron detachment from these anions at the excitation wavelengths were also determined. These results are discussed in the context of recent ultrafast kinetic studies and compared with the previous data obtained by product analyses. We suggest using electron photodetachment from the aqueous halide and pseudohalide anions as actinometric standards for time-resolved studies of aqueous photosystems in the UV.

Replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations of the capped helical peptide, AA(AAKAA)3AAY, is carried out over a range of temperatures, where the system populates the folded and unfolded states. This sampling defines a set of ensembles that characterizes the conformational variability for configurations identified by their fraction of helical content. The effects of hydrogen bonding, both internal and external (with water), and the coupling between amide-I modes are computed as a function of temperature and helical content. End-to-end distance and coupling distributions are also computed. The solvent H-bonding, which is present at all temperatures, shifts the amide-I band toward lower frequency compared with the unsolvated band. Upon thermal denaturation of the peptide, the amide-I band shifts to higher frequency because the increase in solvent H-bonding fails to compensate for the loss in internal (helical) H-bonds. The loss of uniformity of the mode coupling along the helix at higher temperatures accounts for the well-known thermal broadening of the amide IR spectrum. The calculated inhomogeneities of segments of the peptide predict experimental properties of isotope-edited helices.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 257 EP - 264 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Jefferson Lab’s (JLab) Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) and Free Electron Laser (FEL) are supported by 2 K helium refrigerator known as the Central Helium Liquefier (CHL), which maintains a constant low vapor pressure over the accelerators’ large liquid helium inventory with a five-stage centrifugal compressor train. The cold compressor train operates with constrained discharge pressure and can be varied over a range of suction pressures and mass flows to meet the operational requirements of the two accelerators. Using data from commissioning and routine operations of the cold compressor system, the presented procedure predicts an operating point for each cold compressor such that maximum efficiency is attained for the overall cold compressor system for a given combination of mass flow and vapor pressure. The procedure predicts expected efficiency of the system and relative compressors speeds for operating vapor pressures from 4 to 2.5 kPa (corresponds to overall pressure ratios of 29 to 56) and flow rates of 135 g/s to 250 g/s. The results of the predictions are verified by test for a few operating conditions of mass flows and vapor pressures. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Ltd. (IHI), for high-energy operations. The compressor is designed to pump 60 g/sec of 3.6 K saturated helium vapor at a pressure ratio of 2.8, with an off-design range of 40 to 70 g/sec. Operating speeds are between 40,000 and 95,000 rpm, with a speed of 80,000 rpm at the design point. Different heat loads and magnet quench performance of each of the twenty-four satellite refrigerators dictates different process pressure and flow rates of the cold compressors. Reducing the process flow rate can cause the centrifugal cold compressor to stop pumping and subsequently surge. Tests have been conducted at the Cryogenic Test Facility at Fermilab to map the pressure field and appropriate efficiency of the IHI hydrodynamic cold compressor. The information allows tuning of each of the twenty-four Tevatron satellite refrigerators to avoid cold compressor operation near the surge and choke lines. A new impeller has also been tested. The Tevatron cold compressor pressure field and efficiency data with the new impeller are presented in this paper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 289 EP - 294 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - A stand-alone cryogenic system designed to maintain the magnets of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at between 80 and 100 K during accelerator shutdown periods has been conceived and designed at Brookhaven National Laboratory and built by PHPK Technologies of Columbus, Ohio. Since most thermal contraction occurs above this temperature, this unit, referred to as the 80-K Cooler, will eliminate the stresses associated with thermal cycling. The cooling system will provide the necessary refrigeration by circulating cooled helium gas at approximately 1500 kPA through the RHIC heat shields and magnets. This helium is cooled by heat exchange with liquid nitrogen and circulated via three cold centrifugal pumps. The nominal delivered cooling capacity required to maintain the magnets at temperature is approximately 36 kW, primarily intercepted at the heat shield. The system also has separate heat exchangers for use as a pre-cooler from room temperature to 82 K. Selection of sextant or sextants for pre-cooling is designed into the RHIC cryogenic distribution system. Topics covered include Cooler design decisions, details of the Cooler as built, integration into the existing RHIC cryogenic system and initial operating experience. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 295 EP - 301 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The Spallation Neutron Source is a state-of-the-art neutron-scattering facility presently being constructed in Oak Ridge, TN as a collaborative effort among six national laboratories. The ion beam generated in the high-power particle-accelerator system is accelerated to 1 GeV in the superconducting portion of the linac. This acceleration is accomplished with niobium superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities operated at 2.1 K. Liquid helium supplied by a refrigerator system with a 2400-W capacity at 2.1 K and an 8300-W shield load at 38/50 K provides cooling to the niobium cavities. This paper details the design, fabrication, installation, and innovations of the cryogenic transfer line that transfers the helium to and from the cryomodules containing the niobium cavities. The transfer line is a four coaxial-pipe design with primary helium flow in the inner line, surrounded by a vacuum annulus, surrounded by a shield helium-flow annulus, surrounded by an outer vacuum annulus. This design is similar, with some key improvements, to that being used on the accelerator at Jefferson Laboratory. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

However, a supercritical-cooling approach would relieve space and other constraints in critical areas, in addition to eliminating potential vapor-trapping in the magnets with the associated heat-transfer degradation. Also, a quench in a string of magnets cooled with supercritical (SC) helium may be easier to handle than for the pool-boiling case. This paper examines various approaches to a supercritical-helium cooled lens system for AHF and compares them to the pool-boiling approach. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Photon stops are radiation absorbers operating at room temperature that protrude into the beam tube at the end of each bending magnet to scrape the synchrotron light emitted by the beam one magnet up-stream. Among the technological challenges regarding photon stops is their cryo-design. The photon stop is water-cooled and operates in a cryogenic environment. A careful cryo-design is therefore essential to enable operation at minimum heat transfer between the room temperature sections and the cryogenic parts. A photon stop cryo-design was developed and a prototype was built. This paper presents the results of the cryogenic experiments conducted on the first VLHC photon-stop prototype. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 463 EP - 470 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The NHMFL 900-MHz magnet is a 40-MJ, 7-t solenoid designed for NMR spectrometry in a 105-mm warm bore. Prior to installation in its final cryostat, it was decided to test the magnet in an available “bucket” dewar to confirm proper operation of all components, requiring design and construction of a special cryostat for this purpose. The primary requirements for the cryostat were to use the existing bucket dewar (1.52-m i.d. × 3.66-m i.h.) and cool the magnet to near HeII temperatures as efficiently as possible. With the large and relatively short conduction path formed by the inner dewar wall and the 2 m3 vapor volume above the liquid capped by a 2 m2 surface at room temperature, the latter requirement was not an easy one to meet. In this paper we describe a cryostat design based on an internal, subatmospheric bath continuously fed by an external reservoir of normal liquid. The vapor stream evolved from the internal bath was used to intercept heat in various paths, e.g.: the incoming LHe stream, a system of radiation baffles in good thermal contact with the dewar wall, the vertical supports for the magnet, the main current leads for the magnet, and the multitude of minor leads for instrumentation. We report details of this design, its performance in tests of the 900-MHz magnet, and the potential for application of this design topology for cooling other magnets. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 471 EP - 478 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - In magnet systems like the NHMFL’s 900-MHz NMR Spectrometry Magnet, parts-per-billion field quality is required. Since small movements of the magnet are transformed into temporal variations of the magnetic field, it is important to suppress these motions to the greatest practical degree. The cryostat for the 900-MHz magnet is equipped with an external damping system that greatly attenuates both vertical and horizontal vibrations greater than about 1 Hz, but lower-frequency perturbations can pass through essentially unabated. On the inside of the cryostat, the vertical support system for the magnet is both strong and stiff, having a natural frequency for vertical vibrations much greater than 1 Hz. However, that same structure is relatively weak against potential horizontal deflections, requiring additional horizontal stiffening to move the natural frequency well above 1 Hz. This paper describes the design process for this horizontal, anti-vibration system, including a discussion of various configurational and materials options, the expected mechanical performance of the selected design, and the optimization of the heat intercepts for minimum impact on the cryostat’s hold time. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A viable approach is to use a very strong and stiff structure, which typically requires the designer to deal with a large cross-section in the heat-conduction path and emphasizes the importance of optimizing this component through materials choices, distribution of heat intercepts, and configuration. As an example, the superconducting outsert of the present 45-T Hybrid sits atop a rugged, cylindrical support column with heat intercepts at 80 and 20 K and variation of the column’s wall thickness for sections in each temperature range. In this paper, we describe several practical design alternatives, compare their projected mechanical and thermal performance to the structure in the present 45-T Hybrid, and present test results from a model of one of the more promising options. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One portion of the machine’s linac consists of over 80 Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) 805 MHz cavities housed in a total of 23 cryomodules (CMs) operating at 2.1 K. Minimization of the total heat load is critical to machine performance since the refrigerator capacity is fixed. The total heat load of the cryomodules consists of the fixed static load and the dynamic heat load, which is proportional to the cavity performance. The heat load of the cryomodules is the single largest load to the cooling circuits of the refrigerator. During acceptance testing at Jefferson Lab, a series of measurements have been taken on the prototype and first three production CMs. Calorimetric measurements of the primary heat load and shield heat load are presented and discussed. Temperature measurements taken allow a comparison between actual and predicted thermal performance of two components unique to this cryomodule design: the helium gas-cooled fundamental power coupler (FPC) and the helium heat exchanger (HX). © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 538 EP - 543 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities are becoming the preferred method of particle acceleration for many new high energy physics projects around the world. These SRF cavities are assembled in series into a thermal structure known as a cryomodule (CM). Currently, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) is providing the superconducting cryomodules for both the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the prototype for the energy upgrade to the JLab Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). Once completed, the cryomodules are assembled in series to form a superconducting linear accelerator (LINAC) utilized primarily for particle physics research and development. During operation, the cryomodule maintains the temperature of the cavities at 2 K, while the external shell of the cryomodule is at ambient temperature (293 K). This paper will present the design, fabrication and assembly of the CM components in order to optimize thermal performance, which is vital to the SRF cavity operation. This thermal optimization will include both static and dynamic heat load considerations as well as design and assembly techniques. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Some alternative concepts are also presented. Beams from protons to uranium are accelerated with superconducting RF cavities operating from 57.5 MHz to 805 MHz. Substantial cost reduction over the baseline design may be achieved by replacing three classes of elliptical cell structures operating at 2 K by two classes of three-spoke drift tube structures. Cavity count and tunnel length are reduced while efficient cooling at 4.5 K for all linac structures may be possible. Issues include RF power requirements, microphonics, clean handling techniques, separate cavity and insulating vacuum systems, and heat load. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

As such, the cryogenic and vacuum operation of this equipment has to be nearly transparent to ensure market acceptance. The cryostat has to deliver a stable operating temperature requiring little or no maintenance for a period of years. To maintain a nearly constant and low heat load on the refrigeration system, the vacuum must be kept at less than about 7 mPa (5 × 10-5 torr), preferably with no external pumping system. This, in turn, requires the use of low outgassing materials, and adsorbers or getters that can effectively remove the residual gasses in the system. Each particular device differs in the system volume, the materials used, the fabrication and degassing techniques, the operating temperatures of the various components, and the availability and maintenance requirements, necessitating an individual analysis. In this paper, we present a general approach to determining the outgassing properties of typical materials used in HTS devices, the likely gas constituents, techniques for determining adsorber and getter materials and estimating the quantity of such materials needed based on the operating temperature of the device. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This magnet is the third one in a proof-of-principle series for the use of the React-and-Wind technology in common-coil dipole magnets for future accelerators. It consists of two flat racetrack coils (28 turns each) separated by 5 mm. The maximum field on the coil, at the short sample limit of 16530 A, is 10 tesla. The cable has 41 strands with 0.7 mm diameter and the minimum bend radius in the magnet ends is 90 mm. The predecessor of this magnet (HFDB-02) reached 78 % of the short sample limit at 7.7 T. The mechanical design was improved and the fabrication procedure was slightly modified in order to address possible causes of limitation. In this paper we present the mechanical design and analysis of HFDB-03, the modifications to the fabrication procedure and the test results. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One of the magnet design options is based on cosine-theta coils and the wind-and-react approach. Three short dipole models of this type were fabricated and tested revealing serious problems in magnet quench performance. To effectively address these issues, coil tests were continued in a mirror magnet configuration, where one coil was replaced with a half-cylinder of low carbon steel (the magnetic mirror) inside the magnet mechanical structure. This approach has reduced the fabrication cost and time as well as improved the coil instrumentation. The paper summarizes the magnetic and mechanical design of mirror magnet configuration along with fabrication details. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 783 EP - 790 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Superconducting insertion devices, which produce periodic magnetic fields, have been built and installed in a number of synchrotron-light source storage-rings. For the most part, these devices have been wigglers, which have relatively long period lengths. This report concerns itself with the special cryogenic issues associated with short period undulators. The motivation for considering the incorporation of superconducting technology in insertion device designs is to achieve higher magnetic fields than can be achieved with more conventional permanent magnet technology. Since the peak field decreases sharply with increased magnet gap to period ratio, the cryogenic design of the magnet system is crucial. In particular, the insulation required for a warm vacuum bore device is impractical for short period undulators. This report describes the issues that are related to a cold bore (∼4 K) and an intermediate temperature bore (30 to 70 K) designs. The criteria for the use of small cryocoolers for cooling a short period undulator are presented. The problems associated with connecting small coolers to an undulator at 4.2 K are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

There are three focusing solenoid pairs that will be around the muon absorbers for MICE. The two solenoid coils have an inside diameter of 510 mm, a length of 180 mm, and a thickness of 100 mm. A distance of 260 mm separates the two coils in the pair. The coils are designed to operate at opposite polarity, in order to create a gradient field in the low beta sections of the MICE cooling channel. As result, the force pushing the coil pair apart approaches 270 metric tons when the coils operate close to the short sample current for the superconductor. The forces between the coils will be carried by a support structure that is both on the inside and the outside the coils. During some modes of operation for MICE, the coils may operate at the same polarity, which means that the force between the coils pushes them together. The focusing magnet must be designed for both modes of operation. This support structure for the coils will be part of the focusing magnet quench protection system. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The heat loads to the superconducting quadrupole (SCQ) magnets from the radiation shields at 80 K and from the thermal conduction of mechanical supports are considered. The temperature distribution of the fluid in the liquid helium cooling channels, and the heat transfer in the SCQ magnet and by its supports are presented.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 839 EP - 848 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Since the large coils in a cryocooled HTS utility transformer can be located more than a meter away from the cryocooler cold heads, conductive cooling would require very large, heavy thermal links to keep temperature differentials small. Under a U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) Superconductivity Partnership with Industry (SPI) agreement with Waukesha Electric Systems (WES), SuperPower Inc. (SP), Energy East (EE), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), we have developed a closed-loop helium system that couples the coils to the cold heads using natural convection cooling. The loop operates on a single-phase thermosiphon principle at temperatures and pressures from 20 to 45 K and 10 to 20 bars, and needs no external compressor to maintain helium gas circulation. Design procedures for the heat exchangers on both the cold heads and coils and for the interconnecting piping will be summarized. A 30-W cooling loop was successfully operated on a 1-MVA prototype transformer. A 350-W system for a 5/10-MVA prototype transformer has been built and tested with a dummy load over a wide range of heat loads corresponding to the range from normal transformer operation to two times (2×) overload. Later, this system successfully cooled down the 4.5-ton cold mass of the transformer to temperatures below 30 K. Design details of the hardware and performance of the assembled systems will be summarized. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The three concentric superconducting phases are made of BSCCO-2223 high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, separated by layers of cold-dielectric tapes. A copper braid is added as the grounding shield on the outside of the three active phases. To facilitate the calorimetric ac loss measurement, the cable was cooled by liquid nitrogen flowing in the annulus between the cable and the cryostat only. Tests of this cable were performed at temperatures ranging from 76 to 84 K. AC loss data reconfirmed the previous gratifying result on the 1.5-m prototype cable that the total three-phase loss is approximately the sum of the calculated ac losses of the three separate phases. No additional loss is due to possible coupling among the three phases. This and other test results of the 5-m, 1.3 kA triaxial cable are reported here. The next step in the project is to build and install a triaxial cable rated at 3-kA rms, 13-kV ac at a utility site. A single-phase 3-kA cable prototype was also built and tested for use as the most demanding inner phase of the triaxial cable. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Electrical tests of this cable were performed in boiling liquid nitrogen at 77 K. DC testing of the 1.25-m cable included determination of the V-I curve, with a critical current of 4200 A. This was consistent with the properties of the 24 individual YBCO tapes. AC testing of the cable was conducted at currents up to 2500 Arms. The ac losses were measured calorimetrically by measuring the response of a calibrated temperature sensor placed on the former and electrically by use of a Rogowski coil with a lock-in amplifier. AC losses of about 2 W/m were measured at a cable ac current of 2000 Arms. Overcurrent testing was conducted at peak current values up to 12 kA for pulse lengths of 0.1–0.2 s. The cable temperature increased to 105 K for a 12 kA, 0.2 s overcurrent pulse, and the cable showed no degradation after the sequence of overcurrent testing. This commercial-grade HTS cable demonstrated the feasibility of second-generation YBCO tapes in an ac cable application. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The design offers an efficient HTS cable configuration by reducing the amount of superconductor needed and places all three phases in a single cryostat. The tri-axial cable cooling circuit analyzed includes heat loads at the ends for the cable terminations and cable heat loads due to ac, dielectric, and thermal losses. The HTS cable critical current and ac loss are functions of the local temperature that must be determined by the analysis. The radial heat transfer also has an influence on these parameters due to the relatively low thermal conductivity of the dielectric material separating the HTS phases. The study investigates whether the tri-axial cable must be cooled both inside the former and outside of the cable. In this study, the range of operating parameters for a tri-axial HTS cable system and refrigeration requirements are determined based on expected HTS tape performance. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 710 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 944 EP - 951 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - An optimization theory for current leads passing through a closed vapor-filled space is introduced. These leads are applicable mainly to HTS power systems where liquid nitrogen is continuously refrigerated by a cryocooler. The design of such leads is basically similar to that of conduction-cooled leads, because no boil-off gas flows out of the system. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cooling by natural convection of vapor requires any modification in optimizing the lead design. In the case that the leads are located in a wide vapor space (called boundary layer flow), the energy balance equations for the lead and the surrounding vapor are solved by the method of perturbation series, as they are weakly coupled by natural convection. The analytical solution shows that the optimal lead parameter does not need to be changed in spite of the convective cooling. In the case of the leads passing through a narrow vapor space (called fully developed flow), on the other hand, the axial conduction of surrounding wall is strongly coupled by natural convection and the lead parameter should be optimized in a modified way. The suggested design conditions are presented in terms of the lead parameter for various RRR values of copper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

It was assumed that this is due to the slip velocity between tracer particles and liquid helium. In the present work, tracer particles with a much smaller mean diameter and a more uniform size distribution were selected in order to reduce the effect of slip velocity, and an improved two phase fluidized bed technique was used to introduce the particles into liquid helium. The normal fluid velocity of thermal counterflow was then measured using the PIV technique at various heat fluxes and bath temperatures. The experimental results, however, still show the existence of discrepancy between PIV measured particle velocities and the theoretical normal fluid velocity. A preliminary explanation of these results is given based on an interaction of tracer particles with the superfluid component in the He II. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The main objective of this study is to confirm the feasibility of our recently proposed design for an HTS power transformer cooled by natural convection of subcooled liquid nitrogen. A liquid nitrogen bath is cooled to nearly the freezing temperature (63 K) at atmospheric pressure by a vertical copper heat transfer plate thermally anchored to the coldhead of a GM cryocooler. A parallel copper plate generating uniform heat flux is placed at a distance so that liquid between the two plates may develop a circulating flow by natural convection. The vertical temperature distribution on both surfaces is measured in steady state, from which the heat transfer coefficient is calculated. The experimental data are compared with the existing correlations for a rectangular cavity where each vertical surface has a uniform temperature. The discrepancy between two data sets is examined by considering that the surface temperatures in this experiment decrease upwards as the cryocooler is located at the top. The formation of multi-cellular flow is qualitatively discussed in terms of the height-to-gap ratio of the cavity and the vertical temperature gradient as determined by the magnitude of heat flux. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One dimensional heat transfer between the hot and cold plates of the calorimeter is achieved by placing two thermal guards, instrumented with heaters and platinum thermometers, around the hot plate. Although used exclusively for measurements with oxygen, this apparatus is capable of measuring the thermal conductivity of other fluids including liquid hydrogen down to about 15 K. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The conduction heat loss from the supports that connect the cold inner lines to the warm support structure is ultimately the most serious heat leak after thermal radiation has been minimized. The use of magnetic levitation by permanent magnets and high temperature superconductors provides support without mechanical contact and thus, the conduction part of the heat leak can be reduced to zero. A stop structure is carefully designed to hold the center tube when the system is warm. The novel design will provide the potential of extending many missions by saving cryogens, or reducing the overall launch mass. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Two HTS bearings support the rotor at top and bottom. The rotor weight is 4 kg and the length is about 300 mm. Both the top and bottom bearings have two permanent magnet (PM) rings with an iron pole piece separating them. Each HTS journal bearing is composed of six pieces of superconductor blocks of size 35×25×10 mm. The HTS blocks are encased in a cryochamber through which liquid nitrogen flows. The inner spool of the cryochamber is made from G-10 to reduce eddy current loss, and the rest of the cryochamber is stainless steel. The magnetic field from the PM rings is < 10 mT on the stainless part. The rotational drag was measured over the same speed range at several chamber pressures. Results indicate that a chamber pressure of 0.4 mtorr is sufficiently low to minimize windage loss, and the 10 mT design criterion for the magnetic field on the stainless part of the cryochamber is too high. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 126 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 7486 EP - 7495 SN - 00027863 AB - The anisotropic g and hyperfine tensors of the Mn di-μ-oxo complex, [Mn2(III,IV)O2(phen)4]- (PF6)3·CH3CN, were derived by single-crystal EPR measurements at X- and Q-band frequencies. This is the first simulation of EPR parameters from single-crystal EPR spectra for multinuclear Mn complexes, which are of importance in several metalloenzymes; one of them is the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II (PS II). Single-crystal [Mn2(III,IV)O2(phen)4](PF6)3·CH3CN EPR spectra showed distinct resolved 55Mn hyperfine lines in all crystal orientations, unlike single-crystal EPR spectra of other Mn2(III,IV) di-μ-oxo bridged complexes. We measured the EPR spectra in the crystal ab- and bc-planes, and from these spectra we obtained the EPR spectra of the complex along the unique a-, b-, and c-axes of the crystal. The crystal orientation was determined by X-ray diffraction and single-crystal EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) measurements. In this complex, the three crystallographic axes, a, b, and c, are parallel or nearly parallel to the principal molecular axes of Mn2(III,IV)O2(phen)4 as shown in the crystallographic data by Stebler et al. (Inorg. Chem. 1986, 25, 4743). This direct relation together with the resolved hyperfine lines significantly simplified the simulation of single-crystal spectra in the three principal directions due to the reduction of free parameters and, thus, allowed us to define the magnetic g and A tensors of the molecule with a high degree of reliability. These parameters were subsequently used to generate the solution EPR spectra at both X- and Q-bands with excellent agreement. The anisotropic g and hyperfine tensors determined by the simulation of the X- and Q-band single-crystal and solution EPR spectra are as follows: gx = 1.9887, gy = 1.9957, gz = 1.9775, and hyperfine coupling constants are AxIII = | 171 | G, AyIII, = | 176 | G, AzIII = | 129 | G, AxIV = | 77 | G, AyIV = | 74 | G, AzIV = | 80 | G.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/06/23/ VL - 126 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 7698 EP - 7708 SN - 00027863 AB - The adsorption geometries and surface reactions of various C6 hydrocarbons (n-hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, and 1 -hexene) adsorbed on Pt(111) were investigated using sum frequency generation (SFG) surface vibrational spectroscopy. The adsorptions and reactions were carried out in 1.5 Torr of C6 hydrocarbons in the absence and presence of excess hydrogen (15 Torr) and in the temperature range 296-453 K. At 296 K and in the presence of excess hydrogen, n-hexane and 3-methylpentane adsorbed molecularly on Pt(111) mostly in "flat-lying" geometries. Upon heating the sample up to 453 K, the molecules underwent dehydrogenation to form new surface species in "standing-up" geometries, such as hexylidyne and metallacyclic species. However, 2-methylpentane and 1-hexene were dehydrogenated to metallacyclobutane and hexylidyne, respectively, at 296 K in the presence of excess hydrogen. The dehydrogenated species remained unreacted on the surface upon heating the sample up to 453 K. The absence of excess hydrogen enhanced dehydrogenation of n-hexane and 3-methylpentane to form π-allyl c-C6H9 and metallacyclohexane, respectively, at 296 K. Upon heating to 453 K, the π-allyl c-C6H9 species underwent irreversible dehydrogenation, while hexylidyne and metallacyclic species remained unreacted. On the basis of these results, the mechanisms for catalytic isomerization and dehydrocyclization of n-hexane, which are the important "reforming" reactions to produce high-octane fuels over platinum, were discussed.

The neutron carries a large fraction, xL>0.2, of the incoming proton beam energy and is detected at very small production angles, θn<0.8 mrad, an indication of peripheral scattering. The D* meson is centrally produced with pseudorapidity &z.sfnc;η&z.sfnc;<1.5, and has a transverse momentum pT>1.9 GeV, which is large compared to the average transverse momentum of the neutron of 0.22 GeV. The ratio of neutron-tagged to inclusive D* production is 8.85±0.93(stat.)+0.48-0.61(syst.)% in the photon–proton center-of-mass energy range 130 GeV. The data suggest that the presence of a hard scale enhances the fraction of events with a leading neutron in the final state.

All states below the proton threshold in 20Na were populated and identified in the experiment. These include new levels, previously unresolved levels, and states located with improved energy precision. The level structure of 20Na, and its γ transitions, are compared to the mirror partner 20F measured simultaneously in this experiment. In particular, a high degree of energy stability is found for all negative parity states. These results are discussed in the context of the nuclear shell model.

In this study we explored the mechanism underlying this hypotriglyceridemic effect. Initially we found that triglyceride turnover was faster in hAPOA5 transgenic mice compared to controls, and this strongly correlated with increased LPL activity in postheparin plasma. Furthermore, we show that in vitro recombinant apoAV interacts physically with lipoprotein lipase and significantly increased its activity. We show that both apoB and apoCIII are decreased in hAPOA5 transgenic mice indicating a decrease in VLDL number. To further investigate the mechanism of hAPOA5 in a hyperlipidemic background, we inter-crossed hAPOA5 and hAPOC3 transgenic mice. We found a marked decrease in VLDL triglyceride and cholesterol, as well as apolipoprotein B and CIII levels. These data indicated that apoAV induces a decrease in VLDL size by activating lipolysis and an increase of VLDL clearance. In a postprandial state, the normal triglyceride response found in wild-type mice was significantly reduced in hAPOA5 transgenics. In addition, we demonstrated that in response to this fat load in hAPOA5 × hAPOC3 mice, apoAV, but not apoCIII, was redistributed from primarily HDL to VLDL. This shift of apoAV in VLDL appears to limit the increase of triglyceride by activating the lipoprotein lipase.

This technology has yet to be implemented in insulin secreting cells, thus it is not known whether the presence of these nanoparticles in the cytoplasm of the cells affects insulin secretion. This study investigates the effectiveness and consequence of labeling mouse insulinoma βTC3 and βTC-tet cells with monocrystalline iron oxide nanoparticles (MION). Our data show that MION can be internalized in both βTC3 and βTC-tet cells following a 24 h exposure to 0.02 mg/ml MION solution. The metabolic and secretory activities of both MION-labeled cell lines were statistically indistinguishable from sham treatment. Furthermore, cell viability and apoptosis remained constant throughout the cell’s exposure to MION. Finally, MR images demonstrated significant contrast between labeled and sham-treated cells. Thus, labeling murine insulinoma cell lines with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles does not hinder their insulin secretion, while it provides MR imaging contrast.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/06/25/ VL - 279 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 27591 EP - 27598 SN - 00219258 AB - Multifunctional structural proteins belonging to the 4.1 family are components of nuclei, spindles, and cen- trosomes in vertebrate cells. Here we report that 4.1 is critical for spindle assembly and the formation of cen- trosome-nucleated and motor-dependent self-organized microtubule asters in metaphase-arrested Xenopus egg extracts. Immunodepletion of 4.1 disrupted microtubule arrays and mislocalized the spindle pole protein NuMA. Remarkably, assembly was completely rescued by sup- plementation with a recombinant 4.1R isoform. We iden- tified two 4.1 domains critical for its function in micro- tubule polymerization and organization utilizing dominant negative peptides. The 4.1 spectrin-actin binding domain or NuMA binding C-terminal domain peptides caused morphologically disorganized structures. Control peptides with low homology or variant spectrinactin binding domain peptides that were incapable of binding actin had no deleterious effects. Unexpectedly, the addition of C-terminal domain peptides with reduced NuMA binding caused severe microtubule destabilization in extracts, dramatically inhibiting aster and spindle assembly and also depolymerizing preformed structures. However, the mutant C-terminal peptides did not directly inhibit or destabilize microtubule polymerization from pure tubulin in a microtubule pelleting assay. Our data showing that 4.1 is a crucial factor for assembly and maintenance of mitotic spindles and self-organized and centrosome-nucleated microtubule asters indicates that 4.1 is involved in regulating both microtubule dynamics and organization. These investigations underscore an important functional context for protein 4.1 in microtubule morphogenesis and highlight a previously unappreciated role for 4.1 in cell division.

For a constant average RE ionic radius (equal to that of yttrium), there is a systematic dependence of the in-field Jc on the RE ion size variance, with a small, but nonzero, variance being optimum. Compared to the standard Yba2Cu3O7-x composition, a factor of two improvement in Jc (75.5 K) is reproducibly observed at 0.2 T (llc) for the composition Dy⅓HO⅔Ba2Cu3O7-x on both single crystal and buffered-metallic substrates. Angular dependent magnetic field studies and transmission electron microscopy indicate the presence of additional pointlike random defects.

These xenoliths are characterized by positive cerium (Ce) anomalies and extremely high Al2O3 (32–34 wt.%) and total iron oxide (20–22%). They have 87Sr/86Sr of 0.7050–0.7058, #x03B5;Nd(0) values of +3.2 to +4.2, 206Pb/204Pb ratios of 18.8–19.1, and δ18O values of +5.2‰ to +6.1‰. Their chemical and isotopic compositions suggest that these xenoliths represent preserved aluminous lateritic paleosols that are not genetically related to host tholeiites. These lateritic paleosols with strongly desilicated minerals were formed by intense chemical weathering under warm and humid tropical conditions (with annual average temperature of >19 °C and the annual rainfall of >165 cm) in SE China during the interval from 17 to 15 Ma. The formation age of the paleosols corresponds to a period characterized by slow uplift of the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau region (and thus less consumption of CO2) after 17 Ma, and eruptions of 17–15 Ma Columbia River flood basalts, the Vogelsberg basalts, and eastern China basalts (and thus more input of CO2 into the atmosphere). The tridymite–hercynite xenoliths in the Niutoushan basalts thus preserve evidence of extraordinary climatic greenhouse conditions in the middle Miocene that would otherwise have been lost by the erosion of paleosols.

Both PicH+3- and MeReO(edt)-(tetramethylthiourea) (4) were crystallographically characterized. The rhenium atom in each of these compounds exists in a five-coordinate distorted square pyramid. In the solid state, PicH+3- contains an anion with a short (dSH = 232 pm) and nearly linear hydrogen-bonded (N-H···S) interaction to the cation. Ligand substitution reactions were studied in chloroform. Displacement of PhSH by PPh3 follows second-order kinetics, d[MeReO(edt)(PPh3)]/dt = k[PicH+3-][PPh3], whereas with pyridines an unusual form was found, d[MeReO(edt)(Py)]/dt = k[PyH+3-][Py]², in which the conversion of PicH+3- to PyH+3- has been incorporated. Further, added Py accelerates the formation of [MeReO(edt)(PPh3)], v = k · [PicH+3-]·[PPh3]·[Py]. Compound 4, on the other hand, reacts with both PPh3 and pyridines, L, at a rate given by d[MeReO(edt)(L)]/dt = k·[4]·[L]. When PicH+3- reacts with pyridine N-oxides, a three-stage reaction was observed, consistent with ligand replacement of SPh- by PyO, N-O bond cleavage of the PyO assisted by another PyO, and eventual decomposition of MeRe(O)(edt)(OPy) to MeReO3. Each of first two steps showed a large substituent effect; Hammett analysis gave ρ1 = -5.3 and ρ2 = -4.3.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/06/28/ VL - 43 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 4007 EP - 4011 SN - 00201669 AB - The magnetic properties of Cu2(dca)4(2,5-me2pyz) have been reexamined. The extended structure of Cu2(dca)4(2,5-me2pyz) can be viewed in terms of Cu2(2,5-me2pyz)4+ dimer units interconnected via μ1,5-dca ligands. The bulk magnetic susceptibility χ(T) and the isothermal M(H) of Cu2(dca)4(2,5-me2pyz) are shown to be well described by an isolated dimer model. This finding was confirmed by carrying out a spin dimer analysis based on tight-binding calculations, which shows that the 2,5-me2pyz ligand provides a substantial spin exchange interaction between the Cu2+ ions while the dca ligands do not.

By extending the concept of Bose-Einstein condensation to gravitational systems, a cold, dark, compact object with an interior de Sitter condensate Pv = -pv and an exterior Schwarzschild geometry of arbitrary total mass M is constructed. These regions are separated by a shell with a small but finite proper thickness ℓ of fluid with equation of state p = +p1, replacing both the Schwarzschild and de Sitter classical horizons. The new solution has no singularities, no event horizons, and a global time. Its entropy is maximized under small fluctuations and is given by the standard hydrodynamic entropy of the thin shell, which is of the order kBℓMc/h, instead of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula, SBH = 4πkBGM²/hc. Hence, unlike black holes, the new solution is thermodynamically stable and has no information paradox.

The crystal structure of the catalytic domain of PDE9A2, a member of a PDE family specifically hydrolyzing cGMP, has been determined at 2.23-Å resolution. The PDE9A2 catalytic domain closely resembles the CAMP-specific PDE4D2 but is significantly different from the cGMP-specific PDE5A1, implying that each individual PDE family has its own characteristic substrate recognition mechanism. The different conformations of the H and M loops between PDE9A2 and PDE5A1 imply their less critical roles in nucleotide recognition. The nonselective inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1- methylxanthine (IBMX) binds to a similar subpocket in the active sites of PDE4, PDE5, and PDE9 and has a common pattern of the binding. However, significantly different orientations and interactions of IBMXs are observed among the three PDE families and also between two monomers of the PDE9A2 dimer. The kinetic properties of the PDE9A2 catalytic domain similar to those of full-length PDE9A imply that the N-terminal regulatory domain does not significantly alter the catalytic activity and the IBMX inhibition.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/06/29/ VL - 101 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 9689 EP - 9693 SN - 00278424 AB - Fine-root production and turnover are important regulators of the biogeochemical cycles of ecosystems and key components of their response to global change. We present a nearly continuous 6-year record of fine-root production and mortality from minirhizotron analysis of a closed-canopy, deciduous sweetgum forest in a free-air CO2 enrichment experiment. Annual production of fine roots was more than doubled in plots with 550 ppm CO2 compared with plots in ambient air. This response was the primary component of the sustained 22% increase in net primary productivity. Annual fine-root mortality matched annual production, and the mean residence time of roots was not altered by elevated CO2, but peak fine-root standing crop in midsummer was significantly higher in CO2-enriched plots, especially deeper in the soil profile. The preferential allocation of additional carbon to fine roots, which have a fast turnover rate in this species, rather than to stemwood reduces the possibility of long-term enhancement by elevated CO2 of carbon sequestration in biomass. However, sequestration of some of the fine-root carbon in soil pools is not precluded, and there may be other benefits to the tree from a seasonally larger and deeper fine-root system. Root-system dynamics can explain differences among ecosystems in their response to elevated atmospheric CO2 hence, accurate assessments of carbon flux and storage in forests in a globally changing atmosphere must account for this unseen and difficult-to-measure component.

Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) was applied to obtain the hydrogen depth profiles in Al films versus hydriding parameters. The MgH2, AlH3 and Mg(AlH4)2 hydrides were identified in plasma hydrided films using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results provide new aspects of hydriding of thin films under highly non-equilibrium conditions on the surface supported by high-flux ion irradiation.

The structural model, refined to a final R value of 0.047, has the composition Zn60.68Mg18.28Y21.04, a=9.082(2) Å and c=9.415(5) Å and the space group P63/mmc. Among the 36 atomic sites 28 (or 77.8%) are icosahedrally coordinated (heavily distorted by the large Y atoms) and occupied by Zn and Mg (not all) atoms. As the interatomic distance between the centers of a pair of icosahedra increases from 2.6 to 3.1 Å, 4.7 to 4.8 Å, to 6.4 Å, their connection changes from interpenetration, face-sharing, to vertex-sharing. The structure of Zn3MgY is characterized by a layer structure consisting of FP(FP)’ layers stacked along the c axis, where F and P denote flat and puckered layers, respectively, and (FP)’ is related to FP by a 63 screw. The Zn3 icosahedra, in the PFP’ layer block, are fused into pairs in the 〈1 0 0〉 directions. On the other hand the Zn1, Zn2, and Mg/Zn icosahedra form vertex-sharing, face-sharing, or interpenetrated chains in the [0 0 1] direction.

Further insight is provided by the use of electronic structure calculations to determine stable geometries and interaction energies for NO3- complexes with several simple hydrogen bond donor groups, including water, methanol, N-methylform-amide, and methane. The results establish the existence of a clear set of structural criteria for the rational design of molecular receptors that complex the NO3- anion through hydrogen bonding interactions.

The polyamide, cyclo-γ-ImPyPy-PyPyPy*-, binds to target DNA with a nanomolar dissociation constant as characterized by quantitative footprinting previously reported. 2D ¹H NMR data were used to generate distance restraints defining the structure of this cyclic polyamide with the DNA duplex d(5'-GCCTGTTAGCG-3'):d(5'-CGCTAACAGGC-3'). Data interpretation used complete relaxation matrix analysis of the NOESY cross-peak intensities with the program MARDIGRAS. The NMR-based distance restraints (276 total) were applied in restrained molecular dynamics calculations using a solvent model, yielding structures with an rmsd for the ligand and binding site of ∼1 Å. The resulting structures indicate some distortion of the DNA in the binding site. The constraints from cyclization lead to altered stacking of the rings in the halves of the cyclic ligand relative to unlinked complexes. Despite this, the interactions with DNA are very similar to what has been found in unlinked complexes. Measurements of ligand amide and DNA imino proton exchange rates indicate very slow dissociation of the ligand and show that the DNA can undergo opening fluctuations while the ligand is bound although the presence of the ligand decreases their frequency relative to the free DNA.

Acta Cryst. A53, 291-313]. The method, like its parent, is unique because it does not rely on 'back' transformation from the diffraction pattern into real space and on interpolation within measured data. It is designed to deal successfully with sparse, irregular, incomplete and noisy data. It is also designed to use prior information for ensuring sensible results and for reliable convergence. This article describes the theoretical basis for the reconstruction algorithm, its implementation, and quantitative results of tests on synthetic and experimentally obtained data. The program could be used for determining the structures of radiation-tolerant samples and, eventually, of large biological molecular structures without the need for crystallization.

A new crystal form of xylanase II from the fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum that diffracts to better than 1 Å resolution was grown from 12% PEG 8K, 0.1 M Tris pH 8.5, 0.2 M CaCl2 with the addition of 2% glycerol to overcome crystal twinning. The crystals grow in a body-centered orthorhombic Bravais lattice, with unit-cell parameters a = 66.78, b = 67.94, c = 79.18 Å. The solvent content is 42% with one molecule per asymmetric unit. Molecular-replacement analysis reveals the space group to be I222. This atomic resolution structure will provide important insights that will lead to a better understanding of the enzymatic mechanism of the family 11 xylanases.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 38 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 692 EP - 706 SN - 02786826 AB - A general, approximate expression is described that can be used to predict the thermophoretic force on a free-molecular, motionless, spherical particle suspended in a quiescent gas with a temperature gradient. The thermophoretic force is equal to the product of an order-unity coefficient, the gas-phase translational heat flux, the particle cross-sectional area, and the inverse of the mean molecular speed. Numerical simulations are used to test the accuracy of this expression for monatomic gases, polyatomic gases, and mixtures thereof. Both continuum and noncontinuum conditions are examined; in particular, the effects of low pressure, wall proximity, and high heat flux are investigated. The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is used to calculate the local molecular velocity distribution, and the force-Green's-function method is used to calculate the thermophoretic force. The approximate expression is found to predict the calculated thermophoretic force to within 10% for all cases examined.

Through application of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, convergent-beam electron diffraction, and selected-area electron diffraction, chemical compositions and space groups were determined for multiple crystalline phases in the impactite. Based on this chemical and structural information, sub-micrometer fayalite (approximately 40% of the total volume of crystalline phases), magnetite (25%), a-quartz (20%), hercynite (10%), diamond (3%), and a Nisulfide phase (2%) were identified, in addition to abundant glass. Compared with the pre-shock rock, the Henbury impactite was subjected to dramatic phase transformation and chemical redistribution and fractionation processes during the impact event. The newly formed dendritic crystalline phases such as fayalite, magnetite, and hercynite, as well as the surrounding glass, may represent metastable eutectic crystallization that occurred between approximately 1600 °C (liquidus temperature of hercynite) and 850 °C (75% of the liquidus temperature of fayalite) on a time scale of seconds. Generally, the composition of glass surrounding magnetite, fayalite, and hercynite is close to SiO2, plus small amounts of Fe (about 10%), but the glass around magnetite can also be considerably more enriched in Fe. The distribution of magnetite and fayalite is probably related to the Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio in the original melt as altered by the local oxygen fugacity, and the formation of hercynite is governed by both the Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio and the distribution of A1 in the sample. Alpha quartz probably formed from Fe-depleted silica in the autoannealing period, at low pressure and relatively low temperatures. Diamond crystals in the impactite are euhedral and may have formed through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at ...

The SIA system interfaced aerosol sampling with multiplexed microsphere immunoassay-flow cytometric detection. Metering and sequestering of microspheres using SIA was found to be reproducible and reliable, over 24-h periods of autonomous operation. Four inbuilt immunoassay controls showed excellent immunoassay and system stability over five days of unattended continuous operation. Titration curves for two biological warfare agents, Bacillus anthracis and Yersinia pestis, obtained using the automated SIA procedure were shown to be similar to those generated using a manual microtiter plate procedure.

Synchronized dual-valve injection is shown to provide peak widths as low as 1.5 ms (width at half-height) for an unretained analyte. This was achieved using a 0.5-m DB-5 column with an internal diameter of 100 μm and a film thickness of 0.4 μm operated at a temperature of 150 °C with a column absolute head pressure of 85 psi, resulting in a dead lime of only to = 26 ms (∼ 1900 cm/s, 26 mL/min). Using the DB-5 column in a 1-m length under the same instrumental parameters, with a resulting linear flow velocity of 935 cm/s (12.7 mL/min, to = 117 ms), a minimum peak width of 3.3 ms was obtained. During an isothermal separation, 10 analytes were separated in a time window of 400 ms. A rigorous comparison of experimental and theoretical band-broadening data based on the Golay equation showed that band broadening is limited almost entirely by the chromatographic band broadening terms expressed by the Golay equation and not by extra column band broadening due to the injection process. Synchronized dual-valve injection offers a rugged and inexpensive design, providing extremely reproducible injections with peak height precision of 2.4% (RSD) and low run-to-run variation in retention times, with an average standard deviation less than 0.1 ms. Herein, synchronized dual-valve injection is demonstrated as a proof of principle using high-speed diaphragm valves. It is foreseen that the injection technique could be readily implemented using a combination of thermal modulation and high-speed valve hardware, thus optimizing the mass transfer and not significantly sacrificing the limit of detection performance for high-speed GC. Further implications are that, if properly implemented, high-speed temperature programming coupled with this new technology should lead to very large peak capacities for ∼ 1-s separations.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 70 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4230 EP - 4241 SN - 00992240 AB - Sediments from a high-level nuclear waste plume were collected as part of investigations to evaluate the potential fate and migration of contaminants in the subsurface. The plume originated from a leak that occurred in 1962 from a waste tank consisting of high concentrations of alkali, nitrate, aluminate, Cr(VI), 137Cs, and 99Tc. Investigations were initiated to determine the distribution of viable microorganisms in the vadose sediment samples, probe the phylogeny of cultivated and uncultivated members, and evaluate the ability of the cultivated organisms to survive acute doses of ionizing radiation. The populations of viable aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were generally low, from below detection to ∼104 CFU g-1, but viable microorganisms were recovered from 11 of 16 samples, including several of the most radioactive ones (e.g., > 10 µCi of 137Cs/g). The isolates from the contaminated sediments and clone libraries from sediment DNA extracts were dominated by members related to known gram-positive bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria most closely related to Arthrobacter species were the most common isolates among all samples, but other phyla high in G+C content were also represented, including Rhodococcus and Nocardia. Two isolates from the second-most radioactive sample (>20 µCi of 137Cs g-1) were closely related to Deinococcus radiodurans and were able to survive acute doses of ionizing radiation approaching 20 kGy. Many of the gram-positive isolates were resistant to lower levels of gamma radiation. These results demonstrate that gram-positive bacteria, predominantly from phyla high in G+C content, are indigenous to Hanford vadose sediments and that some are effective at surviving the extreme physical and chemical stress associated with radioactive waste.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 70 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4303 EP - 4317 SN - 00992240 AB - To effectively monitor biodegrading populations, a comprehensive 50-mer-based oligonucleotide microarray was developed based on most of the 2,402 known genes and pathways involved in biodegradation and metal resistance. This array contained 1,662 unique and group-specific probes with <85% similarity to their nontarget sequences. Based on artificial probes, our results showed that under hybridization conditions of 50°C and 50% formamide, the 50-mer microarray hybridization can differentiate sequences having <88% similarity. Specificity tests with representative pure cultures indicated that the designed probes on the arrays appeared to be specific to their corresponding target genes. The detection limit was ∼5 to 10 ng of genomic DNA in the absence of background DNA and 50 to 100 ng of pure-culture genomic DNA in the presence of background DNA or 13 x 107 cells in the presence of background RNA. Strong linear relationships between the signal intensity and the target DNA and RNA were observed (r² = 0.95 to 0.99). Application of this type of microarray to analyze naphthalene-amended enrichment and soil microcosms demonstrated that microfiora changed differently depending on the incubation conditions. While the naphthalene-degrading genes from Rhodococcus-type microorganisms were dominant in naphthalene-degrading enrichments, the genes involved in naphthalene (and polyaromatic hydrocarbon and nitrotoluene) degradation from gram-negative microorganisms, such as Ralstonia, Comamonas, and Burkholderia, were most abundant in the soil microcosms. In contrast to general conceptions, naphthalene-degrading genes from Pseudomonas were not detected, although Pseudomonas is widely known as a model microorganism for studying naphthalene degradation. The real-time PCR analysis with four representative genes showed that the microarray-based quantification was very consistent with real-time PCR (r2 = 0.74). In addition, application of the arrays to both polyaromatic-hydrocarbon- and benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylene-contaminated and uncontaminated soils indicated that the developed microarrays appeared to be useful for profiling differences in microbial community structures. Our results indicate that this technology has potential as a specific, sensitive, and quantitative tool in revealing a comprehensive picture of the compositions of biodegradation genes and the microbial community in contaminated environments, although more work is needed to improve detection sensitivity.

Intraarticular challenge with recombinant OspA, OspB, and OspC in nonlipidated (peptide) and lipidated forms was performed in the left knee joint; the contralateral joint received buffer as control. Inflammation was monitored by technetium scintigraphy and histology.Nonlipidated (peptide) OspA, OspB, and OspC did not induce arthritis; the only exception was polymerized OspA, which was tested in preimmunized rats. Lipidated OspA from 2 different strains and lipidated OspC induced severe arthritis, whereas lipidated OspB failed to induce injury. A synthetic analog of the OSP lipid modification, lipopeptide Pam3Cys‐Ser‐Lys4‐OH, either alone or coupled to bovine serum albumin, also failed to induce injury. Injury did not develop in control groups that were given the appropriate buffers or lipopolysaccharide. This showed that lipidated borrelial OSPs can be potent arthritogens but vary greatly with respect to their injury‐inducing potential. The possession of a lipid modification is essential but is not sufficient to render an OSP arthritogenic.This is the first study to demonstrate that individual lipoproteins from B burgdorferi can induce experimental joint injury in vivo. These results may help elucidate the pathogenesis of Lyme arthritis and, above all, underline the importance of bacterial lipoproteins as major virulence factors.

In this paper, photolysis rates of nitrogen dioxide were calculated using FAST-J and compared with measurements taken at two sites in the United States: Phoenix, Arizona, and Houston, Texas. The measurements were derived from either an actinic flux filter radiometer (Phoenix) or a spectroradiometer (Houston). A sun photometer sited nearby these radiometers provided irradiance measurements from which aerosol and cloud optical thicknesses were obtained. Aerosol single scattering albedo was not known, but was taken to be either 0.79 or 0.94, representative of either soot- or sulfate-like aerosols, respectively. These optical properties served as input to the FAST-J algorithm, which in turn was used to calculate photolysis rates. For both clear and cloudy sky cases, the modeled and measured photolysis rates agree within the uncertainties of the measurements for a single scattering albedo of 0.94. For a single scattering albedo of 0.79, the agreement is again within the uncertainty limits except for the cloudy sky case in Houston. The results suggest that the FAST-J code may be a practical algorithm for use in atmospheric chemical transport models that make repeated calls to photolysis rate subroutines.

SN - 01682563 AB - The effects of elevated CO2 on nutrient cycling and selected belowground processes in the closed-canopy sweetgum plantation were assessed as part of a free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We hypothesized that nitrogen (N) constraints to growth response to elevated CO2 would be mitigated primarily by reduced tissue concentrations (resulting in increased biomass production per unit uptake) rather than increased uptake. Conversely, we hypothesized that the constraints of other nutrients to growth response to elevated CO2 would be mitigated primarily by increased uptake because of adequate soil supplies. The first hypothesis was not supported: although elevated CO2 caused reduced foliar N concentrations, it also resulted in increased uptake and requirement of N, primarily because of greater root turnover. The additional N uptake with elevated CO2 constituted between 10 and 40% of the estimated soil mineralizeable N pool. The second hypothesis was largely supported: elevated CO2 had no significant effects on tissue concentrations of P, K, Ca, or Mg and caused significantly increased uptake and requirement of K, Ca, and Mg. Soil exchangeable pools of these nutrients are large and should pose no constraint to continued growth responses. Elevated CO2 also caused increased microbial biomass, reduced N leaching and increased P leaching from O horizons (measured by resin lysimeters), reduced soil solution NH4+, SO42-, and Ca2+ concentrations, and increased soil solution pH. There were no statistically significant treatment effects on soil nutrient availability as measured by resin capsules, resin stakes, or in situ incubations. Despite significantly lower litterfall N concentrations in the elevated CO2 treatment, there were no significant treatment effects on translocation or forest floor biomass or nutrient contents. There were also no significant treatment effects on the rate of decomposition of fine roots. In general, the effects of elevated CO2 on nutrient cycling in this study were not large; future constraints on growth responses imposed by N limitations will depend on changes in N demand, atmospheric N deposition, and soil mineralization rates.

These samples were selected from a wide array of agricultural residue samples and included residues that had been subjected to a variety of different treatments including solvent extractions and chemical modifications. This analysis showed that both spectroscopic tools, coupled with multivariate analytical techniques, could be used to differentiate the samples and accurately predict the chemical composition of this disparate set of agricultural biomass samples.

While meeting a reasonable success, for instance in the areas of soot and carbon-black formation, such an analogy-based approach cannot be expected to provide a truly realistic description of surface processes. The primary cause of the possible dissimilarity is the difference in steric confinements of reactive sites. A recent quantum chemical study of possible reaction steps led to a proposed phenomenon of surface migration of five-member rings along an edge of a graphene layer. The migrating ring can either desorb or convert to a six-member ring upon an encounter with another six-member ring or a reaction with a gaseous species. All these processes––migration, desorption, and transformation reactions––are mediated by reactions with gaseous hydrogen atoms. The subject of the present communication is analysis of this coupled phenomenon. We will report the results of new Monte Carlo simulations that examine the interplay among surface migration, gas–surface reactions, desorption, and surface transformation reactions of the five-member rings, focusing on emergent morphologies of graphene layers.

T1 - The Wheeler–Jonas equation: a versatile tool for the prediction of carbon bed breakthrough times JO - Carbon JF - Carbon Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 42 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1345 SN - 00086223 AB - This paper gives an overview of the recent developments in the use of the Wheeler–Jonas equation. Extensive experimental work has been done by measuring breakthrough times of different types of activated carbon beds, under different experimental conditions, for a large variety of gases and vapours. This includes the use of activated carbon fibre beds, the presence of moisture on the carbon and in the air stream, non-constant flow patterns and adsorption of chemisorbed species. In all cases the applicability of the Wheeler–Jonas has been demonstrated, i.e. one can use this equation to extrapolate single laboratory breakthrough results by simply varying the independent variables of the equation (amount of adsorbent, flow rate, inlet and breakthrough concentrations). In most cases it is even possible to perform ab initio breakthrough calculations for a well-defined carbon bed. To achieve this new supporting equations had to be derived to allow the estimation of the dependent variables, We (the equilibrium adsorption capacity) and kv (the overall mass transfer coefficient), under different circumstances. In conclusion, the scope of the Wheeler–Jonas (or Reaction Kinetic) equation extends largely beyond its commonly accepted boundaries. This is primarily due to its apparent simplicity: the combination of a single capacity term and an overall kinetic effect strongly enhances its applicability to different adsorption circumstances. In this way it is far more potent than many of the more modern equations that require the exact knowledge of several, not readily available, input parameters.

NiO/SiO2 was the most selective, and the selectivity reached over 50% using iron oxide and sodium oxide modifiers. Ni–Fe oxide prepared by coprecipitation deactivated with time-on-stream, but that prepared using a cellulose templating method was more stable. Benzene was often a significant by-product. Some coupling products were formed, including xanthone, fluorenone, and biphenyl. From deuterium isotope labeling experiments, the hydroxyl group was found to be formed at the carbon next to the one with the carboxylic acid group.

Recent advances in mass spectrometry and in the informatics and statistical tools necessary to interpret mass spectrometric data have revolutionized the approach to defining new tumor markers. The combinations of SELDI mass spectrometry, retentate affinity chromatography, and statistical algorithms for pattern recognition have engendered a great deal of interest in ‘proteomic profiling’ as a diagnostic tool. However, the ability of new mass spectrometers to provide unambiguous identification of low abundance proteins from mixtures as complex as human serum also provides a mechanism for the discovery and mechanistic validation of small sets of specific proteins that are amenable to more traditional formats for clinical assays.

A laser-extinction technique was used to make quantitative measurements of path-length-averaged soot volume fraction. Flame luminosity and planar laser-induced incandescence imaging were used to visualize the sooting region of the fuel jet. Flame lift-off lengths were also measured and used in the interpretation and analysis of the soot measurements. Fuel was injected with a common-rail diesel fuel injector equipped with a single 100-μm-diameter orifice. The fuel used was #2 diesel fuel. The matrix of experimental conditions included ambient gas temperatures from 850 to 1300 K, ambient gas densities from 7.3 to 30.0 kg/m3, and injection pressures from 43 to 184 MPa. The results show that peak soot level in a fuel jet increases with increasing ambient gas temperature, with the increase scaling linearly with temperature. However, near the tip of the flame, the soot levels decrease with increasing ambient temperature, indicating significantly higher soot oxidation rates in the flame-tip region at higher temperatures. The results also show that the peak soot level in a fuel jet increases with increasing ambient gas density and decreasing injection pressure. The increase with increasing ambient density is nonlinear with respect to density. The increase with decreasing injection pressure is linear with decreasing injection velocity (or the square root of the pressure drop across the injector orifice). Overall, the trends observed in diesel fuel jet soot closely correlate with the cross-sectional average equivalence ratio at the lift-off length, with soot levels decreasing as the equivalence ratio decreases (i.e., as more air entrainment and mixing of fuel and air occur upstream of the lift-off length).

Using the Hermite–Gaussian approximation, the original three-dimensional Poisson equation has been reduced into a group of coupled two-dimensional partial differential equations with the coupling strength proportional to the inverse square of the longitudinal-to-transverse aspect ratio. For a large aspect ratio, the coupling is weak. These two-dimensional partial differential equations can be solved independently using an iterative approach. The iterations converge quickly due to the large aspect ratio of the beam. For a transverse round conducting pipe, the two-dimensional Poisson equation is solved using a Bessel function approximation and a Fourier function approximation. The three-dimensional Poisson solver can have important applications in the study of the space-charge effects in the high intensity proton storage ring accelerator or induction linear accelerator for heavy ion fusion where the ratio of bunch length to the transverse size is large.

The second order residence time algorithm first introduced by Athènes et al. [Phil. Mag. A 76 (1997) 565] is rederived from the n-fold way algorithm of Bortz et al. [J. Comput. Phys. 17 (1975) 10] as a fully stochastic algorithm. The second order algorithm can be dynamically called when necessary to eliminate unproductive flickering between a metastable state and its neighbours. An algorithm combining elements of the first order and second order methods is shown to be more efficient, in terms of the number of rate calculations, than the first order or second order methods alone while remaining statistically identical. This efficiency is of prime importance when dealing with computationally expensive rate functions such as those arising from long-range Hamiltonians. Our algorithm has been developed for use when considering simulations of vacancy diffusion under the influence of elastic stress fields. We demonstrate the improved efficiency of the method over that of the n-fold way in simulations of vacancy diffusion in alloys. Our algorithm is seen to be an order of magnitude more efficient than the n-fold way in these simulations. We show that when magnesium is added to an Al-2at.%Cu alloy, this has the effect of trapping vacancies. When trapping occurs, we see that our algorithm performs thousands of events for each rate calculation performed.

Use is made of both the Laplace transformation and reduction to a self-similar form to solve the associated governing equations. The convolution theorem provides a closed form mapping from the transformed plane to the real plane. The streamwise diffusion term, e.g., χχ is shown to be second order and is neglected. This analytical model is used to estimate the debris cloud geometry and velocity field as a function of location and time. Though formal solutions of the potential equation yield good results for debris cloud expansion near the initial impact point, χ ≪ 1, the debris cloud expansion front behavior is not recovered. The steady state eigenfunction expansion solution is used to extend the unsteady solution in an approximate manner. The extended solution retains physically correct expansion behavior for χ ≪ 1 but also provides a reasonable model near the debris cloud expansion front. Since debris cloud dynamics and witness plate impact are readily obtained from experimental observations, this model provides a simple, but useful supplement to conventional hydrocode simulation of impact and penetration phenomenon.

JO - Connective Tissue Research JF - Connective Tissue Research Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 45 IS - 4/5 M3 - Article SP - 248 EP - 256 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 03008207 AB - The objective of this study was to begin to relate the microstructure of calcinosis samples to clinical and laboratory characteristics of the juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) patients. Laboratory x-ray microCT (micro-Computed Tomography) noninvasively mapped microstructure for the first time in JDM calcifications. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction (transmission geometry) identified the mineral phase and crystallite size in the deposits. Samples were obtained from four children who had active JDM longer than 80 months and who were typed for TNFα-308 allele polymorphisms. Uniform mineral (giving the appearance of an extruded solid) was observed in one patient, and irregular blocks of differing sizes filled the samples from two other patients. The sample from the fourth patient appeared to combine features of the other two types. These spatial distributions of mineral were quite different from those in a bone reference sample. The only mineral observed in the JDM samples was hydroxyapatite (HAP), and the diffraction peaks of the JDM samples were slightly narrower than those of a trabecular bone reference sample. Diffraction peak widths of the JDM specimens revealed crystallite sizes (∼⃒220–240Åa) that are comparable to values reported in the literature for bone. Three children were positive for TNFα-308 GA polymorphism. The data suggest several possible origins for blocky vs. uniform structure of the JDM calcifications, including differences in duration of untreated inflammation, in TNFα-308 polymorphism, and in mechanical constraint at the calcification site. Information from additional samples is required to determine the relative role of each of these factors. Taken together, non-invasive microCT and x-ray diffraction characterization on the same samples offer an informative window into the dystrophic mineralization process in JDM.

Also assessed are evidences for and implications of the large, spatially distributed nanoparticle–electrolyte interfaces, trap-state distribution, band-edge movement, and the redox electrolyte on the recombination kinetics. The theoretical PV characteristics of a dye-sensitized solar cell are compared with those of the highest confirmed efficiency cells and the fundamental factors that limit their performance are discussed.

The huge interfacial area of the nanoporous semiconductor device, with electrolyte permeation throughout the bulk, results in a number of unusual physical characteristics. For example: dark currents can no longer be quantitatively compared to photocurrents; both equilibrium and photoinduced electric fields are rapidly screened throughout the bulk of the cell; the energetics for the crucial processes of electron injection, charge separation and charge recombination are not fixed but depend on a number of dynamic variables; and the open circuit photovoltage is controlled by the photoinduced interfacial chemical potential gradient instead of the built-in equilibrium potential difference. Surface states induced by UV illumination can enhance the photoconversion process in contrast to their detrimental role in conventional cells. Finally, recombination rates can be substantially decreased by modifying the semiconductor/electrolyte interface, rather than by optimizing bulk properties. These effects are described and explained.

The introduction of ‘Tradable Renewable Energy Credits’ (TRECs) allows the green power attributes of energy to be sold or traded separately from the physical unit of energy. Since the green power certificate system removes potential locational and physical bottlenecks, both suppliers and consumers gain flexibility in the marketplace. The TREC is also an efficient tool to meet ‘Renewable Portfolio Standard’ (RPS) required by different states in the US. This paper discusses the RPS requirements for different states and examines the implications of an integrated TREC market. It offers a competitive setting to the consumers to pay for renewable energy and a cost effective tool to support renewable energy generation [Grace and Wiser, 2002]. This paper also highlights some practical difficulties that should be addressed in order to establish an efficient integrated TREC market.

JO - Ecology JF - Ecology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 85 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1771 EP - 1789 SN - 00129658 AB - Metabolism provides a basis for using first principles of physics, chemistry, and biology to link the biology of individual organisms to the ecology of populations, communities, and ecosystems. Metabolic rate, the rate at which organisms take up, transform, and expend energy and materials, is the most fundamental biological rate. We have developed a quantitative theory for how metabolic rate varies with body size and temperature. Metabolic theory predicts how metabolic rate, by setting the rates of resource uptake from the environment and resource allocation to survival, growth, and reproduction, controls ecological processes at all levels of organization from individuals to the biosphere. Examples include: (1) life history attributes, including development rate, mortality rate, age at maturity, life span, and population growth rate; (2) population interactions, including carrying capacity, rates of competition and predation, and patterns of species diversity; and (3) ecosystem processes, including rates of biomass production and respiration and patterns of trophic dynamics. Data compiled from the ecological literature strongly support the theoretical predictions. Eventually, metabolic theory may provide a conceptual foundation for much of ecology, just as genetic theory provides a foundation for much of evolutionary biology.

JO - Ecology JF - Ecology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 85 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1818 EP - 1821 SN - 00129658 AB - The Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) offers mechanistic explanations for linking many ecological patterns and processes to biological, physical, and chemical constraints on individual organisms. MTE suggests that underlying the diversity of living things and the complexity of ecological systems are fundamental unities, some of which reflect how first principles of biology, physics, and chemistry govern the fluxes and pools of energy and materials within organisms and between organisms and their environments. The values of the allometric exponents for whole-organism metabolic rate and other biological rates and times are ultimately empirical questions. These questions have intrigued biologists for about 70 years. It is problematic to claim a definitive value based on analyses of existing data on mammalian and avian basal metabolic rates. The values of the allometric exponents for whole-organism metabolic rate and other biological rates and times are ultimately empirical questions.

We used uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of the basic reproductive number R0 to assess the role that model parameters play in outbreak control. The transmission rate and isolation effectiveness have the largest fractional effect on R0. We estimated the distribution of the reproductive number R0 under perfect isolation conditions. The distribution lies in the interquartile range 0.19-1.08, with a median of 0.49. Even though the median of R0 is <1, we found that 25% of our R0 distribution lies at R0 > 1, even with perfect isolation. This implies the need to simultaneously apply more than one method of control.

T1 - Economic feasibility of carbon sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CSEGR) JO - Energy JF - Energy Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 29 IS - 9/10 M3 - Article SP - 1413 EP - 1422 SN - 03605442 AB - Prior reservoir simulation and laboratory studies have suggested that injecting carbon dioxide into mature natural gas reservoirs for carbon sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CSEGR) is technically feasible. Reservoir simulations show that the high density of carbon dioxide can be exploited to favor displacement of methane with limited gas mixing by injecting carbon dioxide in low regions of a reservoir while producing from higher regions in the reservoir. Economic sensitivity analysis of a prototypical CSEGR application at a large depleting gas field in California shows that the largest expense will be for carbon dioxide capture, purification, compression, and transport to the field. Other incremental costs for CSEGR include: (1) new or reconditioned wells for carbon dioxide injection, methane production, and monitoring; (2) carbon dioxide distribution within the field; and, (3) separation facilities to handle eventual carbon dioxide contamination of the methane. Economic feasibility is most sensitive to wellhead methane price, carbon dioxide supply costs, and the ratio of carbon dioxide injected to incremental methane produced. Our analysis suggests that CSEGR may be economically feasible at carbon dioxide supply costs of up to US$ 4–12/t (US$ 0.20–0.63/Mcf). Although this analysis is based on a particular gas field, the approach is general and can be applied to other gas fields. This economic analysis, along with reservoir simulation and laboratory studies that suggest the technical feasibility of CSEGR, demonstrates that CSEGR can be feasible and that a field pilot study of the process should be undertaken to test the concept further.

This paper explores the role of modeling in the analysis of technology deployment in addressing climate change. It examines the competition among technologies in a variety of markets, and explores conditions under which new markets, such as for hydrogen and carbon disposal, or modern commercial biomass, could emerge. Carbon capture and disposal technologies are shown to have the potential to play a central role in controlling the cost of stabilizing the concentration of greenhouse gases, the goal of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

If the US and world follow through on their long-term commitment to dramatically reduce emissions, this pressure will become significant over the coming decades. It is in the face of these concerns that the future of US fossil-fired power plants is examined. There are over 1337 operational fossil-fired power generating units of at least 100 MW in capacity that began operating between the early 1940s and today in the continental US. Together these units provide some 453 GW of electric power. Rapidly retiring this still valuable capital stock or undertaking large-scale immediate redevelopment with advanced power cycles as a means of addressing their greenhouse gas emissions will not be a sensible option for all of these units. Considering a conservative 40-year operating life, there are over 667 existing fossil-fired power plants, representing a capacity of over 291 GW, that have at least a decade’s worth of productive life remaining. Applying Battelle’s specialized analysis tools, relationships between these 667 plants and their technology type, location, emissions, and vintage have been explored. Based on these factors and the proximity of these plants to geologic reservoirs with potential for sequestering large volumes of CO2, the average costs for retrofitting these newer-vintage plants with capture technology and sequestering their CO2 into such reservoirs are presented. A discussion of a set of planned US fossil-fired power projects within the context of a carbon-constrained world is also included.

Both the quantity and the quality of soil C inputs influence C storage and the potential for C sequestration. Changes in tillage intensity and crop rotations can also affect C sequestration by changing the soil physical and biological conditions and by changing the amounts and types of organic inputs to the soil. Analyses of changes in soil C and N balances are being supplemented with studies of the management practices needed to manage soil carbon and the implications for fossil-fuel use, emission of other greenhouse gases (such as N2O and CH4), and impacts on agricultural productivity. The Consortium for Research on Enhancing Carbon Sequestration in Terrestrial Ecosystems (CSiTE) was created in 1999 to perform fundamental research that will lead to methods to enhance C sequestration as one component of a C management strategy. Research to date at one member of this consortium, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has focused on C sequestration in soils and we begin here to draw together some of the results.

Other technologies, such as renewables, nuclear power and energy efficiency also play critical roles in addressing climate change. The development of advanced technologies in the absence of limitations on the concentration of carbon dioxide need not lead to CO2 stabilization.

Behavior of the Second Generation Model, with respect to changes in carbon prices, can be summarized using marginal abatement cost curves. Marginal abatement costs vary over time, as capital stocks adjust to a new set of prices, and across countries, depending in part on the mix of fuels in the existing energy system. This paper documents the production structure in SGM, marginal abatement cost curves derived from SGM with constant-carbon-price experiments, an application to several Energy Modeling Forum scenarios, and a methodology for including carbon capture and disposal in SGM.

SN - 14346044 AB - The dependence of dijet production on the virtuality of the exchanged photon, Q², has been studied by measuring dijet cross sections in the range 0 ...Q² < 2000 GeV² with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 38.6 pb-1. Dijet cross sections were measured for jets with transverse energy ETjet > 7.5 and 6.5 GeV and pseudorapidities in the photon-proton centre-of-mass frame in the range -3 <ηJet <0. The variable xγobs, a measure of the photon momentum entering the hard process, was used to enhance the sensitivity of the measurement to the photon structure. The Q² dependence of the ratio of low- to high-xγobs events was measured. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions were found to generally underestimate the low-xγobs contribution relative to that at high xγobs. Monte Carlo models based on leading-logarithmic parton-showers, using a partonic structure for the photon which falls smoothly with increasing Q², provide a qualitative description of the data.

The aquifer is generally low in dissolved O2 (<1 mg L-1) and composed of weakly indurated late Pleistocene sediments differing markedly in physicochemical properties. Thermodynamic calculations, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and statistical analyses were used to establish the dominant reduction mechanisms, constraints on Tc solubility, and the oxidation state, and speciation of sediment reduction products. The extent of Tc(VII) reduction differed markedly between sediments (ranging from 0% to 100% after 10 days of equilibration), with low solubility Tc(IV) hydrous oxide the major solid phase reduction product. The dominant electron donor in the sediments proved to be (0.5 M HCl extractable) Fe(II). Sediment Fe(II)/Tc(VII) concentrations >4.3 were generally sufficient for complete reduction of Tc(VII) added [1–2.5 μmol (dry wt. sediment) g-1]. At these Fe(II) concentrations, the Tc (VII) reduction rate exceeded that observed previously for Fe(II)-mediated reduction on isolated solids of geologic or biogenic origin, suggesting that sediment Fe(II) was either more reactive and/or that electron shuttles played a role in sediment Tc(VII) reduction processes. In buried peats, Fe(II) in excess did not result in complete removal of Tc from solution, perhaps because organic complexation of Tc(IV) limited formation of the Tc(IV) hydrous oxide. In some sands exhibiting Fe(II)/Tc(VII) concentrations <1.1, there was presumptive evidence for direct enzymatic reduction of Tc(VII). Addition of organic electron donors (acetate, lactate) resulted in microbial reduction of (up to 35%) Fe(III) and corresponding increases in extractable Fe(II) in sands that exhibited lowest initial Tc(VII) reduction and highest hydraulic conductivities, suggesting that accelerated microbial reduction of Fe(III) could offer a viable means of attenuating mobile Tc(VII) in this type of sediment system.

In all three mammals, ZIM2 is located at a similar genomic distance and in the same orientation relative to PEG3, indicating the basic structural conservation of this imprinted locus. However, several lineage-specific changes have occurred that affect the exon structure and imprinting status of ZIM2. Human ZIM2 and PEG3 share a set of 5′ exons and a common promoter, and both genes are paternally expressed. In contrast, mouse and cow Zim2 genes do not share 5′ exons with Peg3, and Zim2 employs a separate downstream promoter in both species. The imprinting status of Zim2 is also not conserved among mammals; mouse Zim2 is expressed biallelically in testis but predominantly from the maternal allele in brain, while cow Zim2 is expressed biallelically in testis. The separate transcription of Zim2 and Peg3 and the change in promoter usage and imprinting status appear to have resulted from independent insertional events that have placed unrelated genes, Zim1 and Ast1, respectively, between Zim2 and Peg3 in mouse and cow. Our results suggest that PEG3 and ZIM2 represent the two original genes at this locus and that rearrangements have occurred independently in different mammalian lineages in recent evolutionary times. Our data also suggest that exon-sharing of human PEG3 and ZIM2 was not ancestral, but may represent a fusion event joining the two neighboring genes and bringing ZIM2 under paternal expression control. These observations are striking in light of the structural and functional conservation that typifies other imprinted domains and suggest that the PEG3/ZIM2 imprinted domain may have evolved in an unusual lineage-specific pattern.

The unit cells of Ice VII and gold were monitored during the experiment with gold being used as an internal pressure calibrant. Additionally, the melting curve of Ice VII was determined to greater than 40 GPa by using the disappearance of the diffraction pattern of Ice VII to monitor melting in the system. The melting curve for Ice VII from 3 to 60 GPa was found to be accurately related by a Simon equation: where pressure and temperature are denoted by P (GPa) and T (kelvin), respectively.These results were used further to constrain the PVT properties of fluid H2O at elevated pressures and temperatures by taking the pressure derivative of the Gibbs free energy difference between Ice VII and fluid H2O along the Ice VII melting curve. Comparison of these results suggests that the previously stated equations of state of fluid H2O overestimate the molar volume of fluid H2O at pressures greater than 20 GPa. Although the data presented in this study is not enough to provide an independent EOS for fluid H2O, future work should take account of our data.

Anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate, an electron shuttle, was present in the media. Experiments were performed without and with PO43- (P) (1 to 20 mmol/L) in media containing 50 mmol/L Fe. Our objectives were to define the combined effects of SiO44- (Si) and P on the bioreducibility and biomineralization of ferrihydrites under anoxic conditions. Iron reduction was measured as a function of time, solids were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy, and aqueous solutions were analyzed for Si, P, Cl- and inorganic carbon. Both of the ferrihydrites were rapidly reduced regardless of the Si and P content. Si concentration had no effect on the reduction rate or mineralization products. Magnetite was formed in the absence of P whereas carbonate green rust GR(CO32-) ([Fe(6-x)IIFeIIIx(OH)12]x+(CO32-)0.5x · yH2O) and vivianite [Fe3(PO4)2 · 8H2O], were formed when P was present. GR(CO32-) dominated as a mineral product in samples with <4 mmol/L P. The Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio of GR(CO32-) varied with P concentration; the ratio was 2 in 1 mmol/L P and approached 1 with 4- and 10 mmol/L P. Green rust appeared to form by solid-state transformation of ferrihydrite. Media P and Si concentration dictated the mechanism of transformation. In the 1 mole % Si coprecipitate with 1 mmol/L P, an intermediate Fe(II)/Fe(III) phase with structural Fe(II) slowly transformed to GR with time. In contrast, when ferrihydrite contained more Si (5 mole %) and/or contained higher P (4 mmol/L), sorbed Fe(II) and residual ferrihydrite together transformed to GR. Despite similar chemistries, P was shown to have a profound effect on extent of ferrihydrite reduction and biotransformations while that of Si was minimal.

Geomorphic and sedimentological analysis and 10Be cosmogenic radionuclide (CRN) surface exposure dating of moraines, fans, and river and strath terraces in the Gori Ganga Valley of Nanda Devi, NE Garhwal, indicate that fans and river terraces developed rapidly by debris flow and flood processes during periods of deglaciation. These phases of high sediment transfer occurred at ∼1–2, ∼4–5, and ∼7–8 ka. Fan incision rates, subsequent to major times of resedimentation after each glacial advance, are between ∼19 and 57 mm/year. This contrasts with bedrock incision rates, based on mid-Holocene strath terraces, of ∼5 mm/year. These rates indicate that despite episodes of rapid denudation and resedimentation linked to glacial activity in this region, the background rates of denudation are similar to those for other regions of the Himalaya, averaging several millimeters per year. Furthermore, these data show the importance of climatic controls on landscape evolution and suggest a strong monsoonal control on the dynamics of earth surface processes in this region.

We present longitudinal studies of 23 extant mammal species, modelling ecological niches and predicting geographical distributions reciprocally between the Last Glacial Maximum and present to test this evolutionary conservatism. This study covered distributional shifts in mammal species across the lower 48 states of the United States. We used a machine-learning tool for modelling species’ ecological niches, based on known occurrences and electronic maps summarizing ecological dimensions, to assess the ability of ecological niches as modelled in one time period to predict the geographical distribution of the species in another period, and vice versa. High intertemporal predictivity between niche models and species’ occurrences indicate that niche conservatism is widespread among the taxa studied, particularly when statistical power is considered as a reason for failure of reciprocal predictions. Niche projections to the present for 8 mammal taxa that became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene generally increased in area, and thus do not support the hypothesis of niche collapse as a major driving force in their extinction. Ecological niches represent long-term stable constraints on the distributional potential of species; indeed, this study suggests that mammal species have tracked consistent climate profiles throughout the drastic climate change events that marked the end of the Pleistocene glaciations. Many current modelling efforts focusing on anticipating climate change effects on species’ potential geographical distributions will be bolstered by this result — in essence, the first longitudinal demonstration of niche conservatism.

Ducts of 6, 8, and 10 in. (150, 200, and 250 mm) nominal diameters were tested under different compression configurations following ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 120-1999, Methods of Testing to Determine Flow Resistance of HVAC Air Ducts and Fittings. The results showed that the available published references tend to underestimate the effects of compression. The study demonstrated that moderate compression in flexible ducts, typical of that often seen in field installations, could increase the pressure drop by a factor of four, while further compression could increase the pressure drop by factors close to ten. The results proved that the pressure drop correction factor for compressed ducts cannot be independent of the duct size, as suggested by ASHRAE Fundamentals; therefore, a new relationship was developed for better quantification of the pressure drop in flexible ducts. This study also suggests potential improvements to ASHRAE Standard 120-1999 and provides new data for duct design.

Dey and Mittra introduced a locally conformal method (D-FDTD) that has shown substantial gains in the accuracy of modeling arbitrary surfaces in the FDTD grid. A mesh generator for this purpose was reported by Yu and Mittra. In this paper, we present the formulation and validation of an alternative CAD-based mesh generator for D-FDTD that has improved capabilities for arbitrary three-dimensional (3-D) perfect electric conductor (PEC) geometries. This mesh generator is capable of importing AutoCad and ProE files of 3-D PEC scatterers and resonators. It can reduce the required FDTD grid resolution by up to 4:1 in each Cartesian direction in 3-D relative to conventional staircased FDTD models when modeling cavity resonances of complex PEC structures such as twisted waveguides.

The behavior of such a system for a given frequency is analyzed by studying the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the TRO. Each eigenvector specifies a set of complex driving currents for the array elements that produce received voltages that are proportional to the conjugates of the drive currents. The proportionality constant is equal to the square root of the associated eigenvalue and is the same for all elements. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be deter- mined by performing a singular value decomposition (SVD) on the multistatic data matrix of the array. The eigenvalues of the TRO are the squares of the singular values, and the eigenvectors are identical to the singular vectors. We have shown that the maximum number of singular vectors associated with the sphere is equal to the number of orthogonal orientations of the dipole moments induced in the sphere when irradiated by the array, so there is a maximum of six for a conducting sphere but only three are significant when the conductivity is small and the sphere may be considered being just a dielectric. Numerical results are presented for linear and circular arrays to show the general behavior of the system.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications JF - IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications Y1 - 2004/07//Jul/Aug2004 VL - 40 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 970 EP - 977 SN - 00939994 AB - The dynamic behavior of a fuel cell is integral to the overall stability and performance of the power system formed by the fuel supply, fuel cell stack, power conditioner, and electrical load. Present-day fuel cells have transient (dynamic) responses that are much slower than the responses of the typical power conditioner and load to which they are attached. This disparity has significant implications on the overall power system design. In particular, some form of energy storage with adequate quick charge/discharge capability is usually needed to provide firm power backup during electrical load increases. This paper describes an effort to improve the small-signal modeling of a Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell's dynamic behavior as an initial step toward prescribing internal design modifications and/or external controller designs to improve its transient behavior. Such improvements will allow for reduced energy storage while increasing the number of suitable storage technology options. Simulation results obtained from the proposed model are presented along with corresponding test results, which show generally good agreement with each other and indicate that this model is to be preferred to another one.

In a distributed memory computer, this redistribution can be difficult if limited memory is available for receiving messages. We propose a model for optimizing the exchange of messages under such circumstances which we call the minimum phase remapping problem. We first show that the problem is NP-Complete, and then analyze several methodologies for addressing it. First, we show how the problem can be phrased as an instance of multicommodity flow. Next, we study a continuous approximation to the problem. We show that this continuous approximation has a solution which requires at most two more phases than the optimal discrete solution, but the question of how to consistently obtain a good discrete solution from the continuous problem remains open. We also devise a simple and practical approximation algorithm for the problem with a bound of 1.5 times the optimal number of phases. We also present an empirical study of variations of our algorithms which indicate that our approaches are quite practical.

These microcantilevers deflected upon exposure to various pH solutions due to the swelling and shrinking of the hydrogels. The microcantilever deflection, as a function of pH, is nearly linear in a wide pH range. A significant 1000 nm/pH bending response was observed from a Gel-4 coated microcantilever, which could be used for precise pH measurements. Such hydrogel coated microcantilevers could potentially be used to prepare microcantilever chemical and biological sensors when molecular recognition agents are immobilized into the polymer.

The alloys were cast and heat treated at 1600 °C before the cyclic oxidation tests were performed. The compositions of the alloys with Si/B ratios of 0.5, 0.71, and 1.0 were chosen near the L=(Mo)+T2 eutectic trough to produce a fine dispersion of the different phases. The multiphase alloys showed poor oxidation resistance at 800 °C while a protective glass scale formed at 1300 °C. At 800 °C the oxidation resistance improved as the volume fraction of the T2 phase increased. Conversely, at 1300 °C, the glass scaled that formed on the alloys with a Si/B ratio of 0.5 was not protective. However, a protective glass scale did form on the alloys with a higher Si/B ratio. The near eutectic alloy with a Si/B=1 was found to have the best oxidation resistance at 1300 °C. The results indicate the Mo3Si phase provides a source of silicon for controlling the composition of the glass scale at 1300 °C.

The results have revealed that both sliding and migration of lamellar interfaces can take place as a result of the cooperative motion of interfacial dislocations.

Abrasive wear of these alloys was also evaluated and compared using nanoscratch techniques under a ramping load. Damage caused by scratching was examined using SEM. Material pile-up took place in all scratched samples, but to different degrees. The scratched surface was observed to be significantly different for alloys with different compositions. A modified Archard equation was derived for the ramping load test. It was found that the wear resistance of amorphous alloys does not follow the classical Archard equation, i.e. the wear resistance is not linearly proportional to the hardness. This discrepancy was suggested to be a result of different wear mechanisms operating in different materials. The wear resistance of a Pd-based alloy was found to be independent of scratch speed.

The unique characteristics of intermetallics present challenges to achieving protective scale formation, but also offer the potential for leveraging novel phenomena not generally observed in conventional alloys. Examples will be drawn from the oxidation of aluminides (Fe3Al, Nb2Al, NbAl3, Ti3Al, TiAl), silicides (MoSi2, Mo5Si3, Mo–Si–B, Ti5Si3), and Laves phases (Cr2Nb, Cr2Ta, Nb(Cr,Al)2, Ti(Cr,Al)2). Recent work also suggests that intermetallics can be used as precursors for the synthesis of functional complex ceramic phase surfaces by gas–metal reactions (oxidation, nitridation, carburization, etc.). The potential for using such reaction phenomena to synthesize layered or composite surfaces of ternary nitrides (carbides, borides, etc.) of technological interest such as Ti3AlC2, bimetallic nitride and carbide catalysts (e.g. Co3Mo3N or Co3Mo3C), and magnetic rare earth nitrides (Fe17Sm2Nx or Fe17Nd2Nx), from intermetallic precursors is discussed.

One hundred and ten roll bodies were produced at Duraloy Technologies using the conventional foundry practice. Since it was the first manufacturing of this magnitude, foundry personnel were given special training with the melting of IC-221M by the Exo-Melt™ process and hands-on training with the welding process. Large-scale manufacturing produced 220 automated welds between nickel aluminide and H-Series trunnions, which is the largest number of welds ever produced in an intermetallic alloy. The manufacturing process for 110 rolls was completed in nearly four months and the rolls have been operating successfully in the production furnace for six months. Use of the Exo-Melt™ process for melting, automatic welding process, and successful completion of this project opens the opportunity for broader application of nickel aluminide rolls for steel hardening furnaces.

The CTE anisotropy values, defined as the ratio of the CTEs in the c and a directions, CTE(c)/CTE(a), are 2.0 and 2.7 for Mo5Si3 and Ti5Si3, respectively. Guided by first-principles calculations by Fu et al. (Acta Mater 51 (2003) 5033), ternary and quaternary alloying additions for reducing the anisotropy were selected. The smallest anisotropy, namely, 1.16, was found for a Mo–25Nb–12.5V–37.5Si (at.%) alloy. The experimentally determined reductions in CTE(c)/CTE(a) were not always as large as predicted because the measured site occupations of the ternary alloying elements were not as ideal as those calculated by Fu et al. Suitable alloying also reduces the CTE anisotropy of Ti5Si3, but the reduction is not nearly as large as that claimed in previous publications.

Tensile test data and scanning electron microscope fractography have been evaluated to show that there exists a critical Fe content in NiTi, i.e. about 9 at.%, below which no environmental embrittlement was observed and above which hydrogen from the moisture-containing test environments severely embrittled NiTi. Laser desorption mass spectrometric results indicate that the surface reaction to generate atomic hydrogen did not change much with Fe additions. Hydrogen charging experiments show that Fe additions actually reduced the hydrogen diffusivity in NiTi alloys from ∼2×10-14 m2/s for Fe-free NiTi alloy to ∼6×10-16 m2/s for NiTi alloy with 10 at.% Fe, implying that the observed ‘Fe effect’ is not due to hydrogen transport effects in the material. Careful examination of tensile properties suggests that strength level is the key factor in controlling the susceptibility to environmental embrittlement of NiTi alloys with Fe additions.

The glass transition transformation of alloys Mg75Ni10Nd15 and Mg77Ni18Ni5, which cannot be detected in conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) heating scans, was observed through TMDSC measurements. It was concluded that the signal of the glass transition on the DSC scans overlapped with the relatively large heat release from the primary crystallization of either intermetallic Mg3Nd phase in glassy Mg75Ni10Nd15 alloy or Mg2Ni phase in amorphous alloy Mg77Ni18Ni5. Increasing the content of Ni in alloy Mg75Ni10Nd15 can suppress the precipitation processes of Mg3Nd, and results in the appearance of glass transition transformation on DSC heating curves. This confirmed and verified our TMDSC measurements. Clear observation of glass transition and understanding of crystallization micro-mechanism in such alloys can offer us new alloying and processing strategies for the preparation of bulk glassy alloys and development of new nanocrystalline/amorphous composite materials.

The HCF tests were performed using an electrohydraulic machine at a frequency of 10 Hz, with a R ratio of 0.1, and under tension–tension loading. Note that R=σmin/σmax., where σmin and σmax are the applied minimum and maximum stresses, respectively. The test environments were air and vacuum. A high-speed and high-sensitivity thermographic infrared (IR) imaging system has been used for nondestructive evaluation of temperature evolution during fatigue testing of BMGs. Limited temperature evolution was observed during fatigue. However, a sparking phenomenon was observed at the final fracture moment of Zr50Al10Cu30Ni10. The effect of chemical composition on the fatigue behavior of the Zr-based BMGs was studied. The fatigue-endurance limit of Zr50Al10Cu30Ni10 (865 MPa) is somewhat greater than that of Zr50Al10Cu40 (752 MPa) in air. The fatigue-endurance limits of these two BMGs were comparable to those of ductile crystalline alloys. The fatigue lives in vacuum and air were generally found to be comparable. The vein pattern and droplets with a melted appearance were observed in the apparent melting region. There are microcracks on the outer surface of the specimen, which could be associated with multiple fatigue crack-initiation sites. These microcracks might result from shear bands and shear-off steps.

Co solutes do not affect the hardening behavior of NiAl alloys. Fe solutes, on the other hand, induce the most substantial and unusual solid solution softening among these solutes. These results can only be explained by the presence of magnetic interactions induced by solutes located on the Al sublattice. The predicted magnetic moment of Fe solutes was verified by neutron diffraction experiment. Our investigation points out the inadequacy of the conventionally used Goldschmidt radii in addressing the atomic size effect in intermetallics.

The four materials examined are α-SiC, AD995 Al2O3, β-Si3N4, and SiAlON. In each case, the dynamic failure process is studied through dynamic loading of cylindrical specimens within a compression Kolsky bar combined with high-speed photography. Strain rates in the range of 10³ s-1 are achieved (the corresponding loading rates are on the order of 200 MPa/µs). The dynamic failure process for all four ceramics consists of the development and propagation of axial splitting cracks followed by columnar fragmentation. Macroscopic cracks (propagating with crack velocities of several hundred meters per second) and substantial volumetric strains are observed well before the peak strength is attained.

The primary objective is to gain mechanistic undersanding of solder joint reliability in microelectronic packaging. Bulk specimens were subjected to relatively fast deformations of tension, compression, and bending, for the purposes of examining the pure mechanical effect without the influence of diffusion-related phenomena. Grain realignment and phase redistribution were characterized by microscopy and microhardness indentation. A micromechanical model is proposed to elucidate the observed microstructural changes and progressive damage. This study illustrates the significance of damage in the form of microscopic heterogeneity caused by grain boundary sliding. It also illustrates the possibility of mechanically induced phase coarsening in actual solder joints. High-frequency cyclic shear tests on Sn-Pb solder joints showed damage along the coarsened band after only a short time, in accord with the proposed effects. Boundary sliding without the influence of atomic diffusion plays an essential role in fatigue damage in solder.

An anisotropic damage tensor with linear damage evolution law is chosen to model the cracking damage. An axisymmetric finite element model is generated to simulate the static indentation process. The damage pattern and zone size are predicted for both the loading cycle and the unloading cycle, and the comparison between the predictions and the experimental results reported in the open literature serves as a validation of the CDM model and the modeling procedure.

On the other hand, anthropogenic emissions in some areas of the world have been reduced very considerably during the last two decades (this is especially true for Europe). This fact shows clearly that the importance of biogenic emissions is increasing, because the ratio of biogenic emissions to total emissions, where the total emissions are equal to the sum of biogenic and anthropogenic emissions, is increasing. It is, therefore, necessary to study carefully the sensitivity of pollution levels to variations of biogenic emissions. A long series of runs with different scenarios, in which both biogenic and anthropogenic emissions were varied, has been performed. The influence of both types of emission on AOT40 values, which have damaging effects on corns when certain critical values are exceeded, was studied. The results show clearly that biogenic emissions must also be taken into account when control strategies are developed for reducing anthropogenic emissions in order either to reduce some high pollution levels to prescribed critical levels or to keep them below the critical levels.

One aspect of this field, which to date has received only limited attention, is the fracture and fatigue properties of these materials. In this paper, we examine two topics in this area, namely the premature fatigue failure of silicon-based micron-scale structures for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and the fracture properties of mineralized tissue, specifically human bone.

Micron-size aluminum particles were used to build the microporous structures on the heated surfaces. To analyze the evaporative cooling, heat transfer curves were obtained in the form of the wall temperature difference versus heat flux. The heat transfer coefficients were also determined as a function of heat flux. Three water flow rates (1.25, 1.75 and 2.40 ml/min) were tested for the flat heater and one rate (3.0 ml/min) for the cylindrical heater, maintaining the air pressure of 7 psig (48 kPa) at the inlet of the nozzle. The effect of different particle sizes in the coating was also tested to optimize the microporous coating technique. Spraying water droplets on the microporous coating surface enhanced the heat removal due to the capillary pumping phenomenon through the microporous cavities connecting each other. The evaporative spray cooling increased the heat transfer coefficient by up to 400% relative to that of the uncoated surface cooled by dry air, and this enhancement was maintained at high heat fluxes by using microporous surfaces.

The reactor was heated to temperatures in excess of 2000 K by concentrated sunlight. Approximately 90% conversion of methane to hydrogen has been obtained at a reactor wall temperature of 2133 K and an average residence time of 0.01 s. The carbon black produced by reaction is ash free, amorphous, and has primary particle sizes of 20–40 nm. The results of an energy balance as well as conclusions from studies designed to evaluate the effect of co-feeding carbon black particles into the reactor are discussed.

Use is made of both the Laplace transformation and elementary eigenfunction expansions to solve the associated governing equations. The streamwise diffusion term, e.g. φrr is shown to be second order and is neglected. Jet shape that was computed using the analytical model is compared with CTH (hydrocode) simulations and limited experimental data and shown to provide reasonable agreement. Jet spreading is shown to be consistent with classical turbulent jet scaling in accordance with known shaped charge jet hydrodynamic assumptions. With confidence that the analytical solution is a viable tool we consider the numerical issues associated with rotational symmetry, the effect of boundary loading disturbance to the jet and the effect of finite arrival time detonation wave conditions. Thus we conclude that this model provides a simple, but useful supplement to conventional hydrocode simulation jetting phenomenon due to asymmetric loading of 2-d circular rings.

A wide range of materials with different elastic moduli, yield stresses, strain-hardening exponents, and friction coefficients were examined. Results show that during a significant portion of the spherical indentation process, the amount of pile-up cannot be related solely to the strain-hardening exponent, as is often assumed. Rather, after initially sinking-in at small depths of penetration, the pile-up for many materials evolves and increases gradually as the indenter is driven into the material. Even when deformation enters the fully developed plastic stage, the pile-up geometry continues to change in manner that can significantly affect the contact area. It is also shown that contact friction affects the pile-up geometry, and that the pile-up heights before and after the indenter is unloaded can be quite different. Implications for the measurement of mechanical properties by load and depth sensing indentation methods are discussed.

Changes in NaNO3 particles during hydration were studied using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and conventional SEM coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX). Mixtures of NaNO3 and NaCl, which are typical of partially processed sea salt particles, were also studied. Complementary studies using long path FTIR were carried out to determine the extent of water association with NaNO3 aerosols, and for comparison, NaCl, MgCl2, and NH4NO3, as a function of relative humidity. The combination of these techniques shows that NaNO3 particles exist as unusual metastable, amorphous solids at low relative humidity that undergo continuous hygroscopic growth with increasing relative humidity. While other evidence for this phenomenon has been reported, this is the first direct observation using ESEM.

Two of the datasets were for summer months, with individual days selected from the MesoWest archive to represent conditions conducive to well-developed thermally driven flows. The remaining dataset was for the month of October 2000 and was derived from a combination of MesoWest data and data collected during intensive observation periods of the Vertical Transport and Mixing Experiment (VTMX) conducted in the Great Salt Lake area. This experiment investigated stable atmospheric conditions in the complex urban terrain around Salt Lake City, Utah. In all three datasets, the primary EOFs represented flows that were directed predominantly along valley axes and were caused by channeled or thermally driven flow. Diurnal variations in EOF intensity showed that thermal effects were the most common causal mechanism. The along-valley EOFs accounted for 43%–58% of the variance in the wind component datasets (8 or 10 stations each). The second EOFs accounted for 13%–18% of the variance. In the summer datasets, the second EOF appeared to represent day–night transition periods; there was evidence of both side canyon flows and day–night transitional effects in the October dataset. The EOF approach has promise for classifying wind patterns and selecting representative cases for simulation or for further detailed analysis.

When applied to a time series of broadband observations, this method can predict cloud optical thickness distributions that are very similar to those obtained using the algorithm of Min and Harrison (henceforth the Min algorithm). For a given site, medians of the Min algorithm–derived and empirically derived distributions differ by less than 10%. This level of agreement holds over a wide geographical range of sites. The equation is designed for fully overcast skies, surface albedos less than 0.3, and a cosine of the solar zenith angle greater than 0.15.

The kinetics are sampled in the frequency domain using linearly chirped, amplified 33 fs pulses derived from a Ti:sapphire laser. A variable length grating pair compressor is used to achieve sampling of 512 channels with a 2–160 ps window with sensitivity>5×10-4. In terms of the acquisition time, frequency-domain “single-shot” (FDSS) spectroscopy has an advantage over pump–probe spectroscopy when “noise” is dominated by variations in the amplitude of the signal due to pump and flow instability. Unlike some other single-shot techniques, FDSS can be used for fluid samples flowing in a high-speed jet and for thin solid samples that exhibit interference fringes. Another advantage is that, due to interference of quasimonochromatic components of the chirped probe pulse, an oscillation pattern near the origin of the FDSS kinetics emerges. This pattern is unique and can be used to determine the complex dielectric function of photogenerated species. The advantages of FDSS are illustrated with the kinetics obtained in multiphoton ionization of aqueous iodide and one-photon excitation of polycrystalline ZnSe. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Applying an oscillating electric field to a rectangular-parallelepiped oscillator of langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) crystal by a surrounding solenoid coil, we generated and detected vibrations of the crystal without electrodes and without wires. Acoustic coupling of the specimen to the oscillator is only made at an antinodal vibration point on the crystal’s bottom surface. The crystal’s resonance-frequency shift reflects elastic constants of the specimen in the contacting area. Point-contact measurement permits sensitive, quantitative evaluation of a material’s local elastic constants. As an illustrating example, we measured the elastic-stiffness distribution of a Nb–Ti/Cu resin superconductive wire. We compared our measurements with both static-contact and dynamic-contact models. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It is shown that all spectra can be deconvolved into five Gaussian bands with typical peak energies 1.59, 1.76, 1.84, 1.94, and 2.07 eV. Ambient aging induces ∼0.1 eV blueshift in each of the three highest energy peaks, which is attributed to QC effects. In contrast, the two lowest energy peaks remain unshifted as expected for non-QC effects. Because size of the porous silicon nanoparticles is deduced from the magnitude of blueshift, it is imperative to correctly identify the spectral components associated solely with QC. The three closely spaced Gaussian bands are summed and the resulting single Gaussian band is analyzed with the model of Islam and Kumar [J. Appl. Phys. 93, 1753 (2003)]. Results show that peak energy of the freshly etched sample is 1.86 eV with average nanoparticle size L0=3.90 nm and dispersion σ=0.065 nm. Ambient aging for 40 days causes this peak to blueshift to 2.07 eV and reduces the nanoparticle size to L0=3.37 nm with dispersion σ=0.088 nm. The reduction in particle size (ΔL=0.53 nm) is attributed to oxidation of the nanocrystalline surface, and corresponds to approximately 2 monolayers of oxide growth. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

RDFs describe the average number of neighbors located a distance r away from an arbitrary atom in the sample. Two methods in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used in this study to obtain RDFs: energy-filtered convergent-beam electron diffraction (EFCBED) and extended electron energy-loss fine structure (EXELFS) analyses. Four Si-aC:H film samples were prepared in cross section for TEM using a focused ion beam system. Both EFCBED and EXELFS techniques were used to study the same samples. RDF interpretation included estimation and comparison of near-neighbor distances, average bond angles, and coordination numbers as a function of sample composition. Key RDF characteristics were correlated to thin film material properties. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The lattice damage and the hydrogen concentration in the as-implanted Si and transferred Si films were analyzed with elastic recoil detection, respectively. Implantations performed at -140 °C [low temperature (LT)] and room temperature (RT) resulted in a variation in the thickness and surface morphology of the transferred layers. The transferred layer from room temperature hydrogen ion implantation was both thicker and atomically smoother than the transferred layer produced by -140 °C hydrogen implantation. The as-transferred layer obtained from RT-implanted p-Si wafer was n-type, but converted to p-type after annealing at 650 °C or higher. The transferred layer obtained from LT-implanted Si wafer was highly resistive even after high temperature annealing. These variations were observed to be correlated with the damage profiles measured by ion channeling; channeling data showed that the room temperature implantation provided a deeper and narrower damage distribution than that obtained from the -140 °C implantation. The nature of the implantation damage was evaluated with the aid of IR spectroscopy and was found to consist of Si–H defects. The type and population of these defects were observed to be dependent on the ion implantation temperature. In both room temperature and -140 °C implantations, the presence of the implantation damage facilitated the nucleation of Si–H defects that developed into H platelets, which were the precursor defects for the cleavage and the layer transfer. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We find that Br, Cl, S, and O atoms present passivation effects on the boundaries with different degrees, whereas H and Na do not passivate the boundaries. Of all these impurities, Cl atoms present the best passivation effects on the double-positioning twin boundaries. The superior passivation effects are realized by either terminating the Cd atoms with dangling bonds, or substituting the Te atoms with dangling bonds in the double-positioning twin boundaries in CdTe by Cl atoms. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The elastic–plastic shock response was measured using laser interferometry. The measured particle velocity profiles showed elastic precursor decay typical of a stress relaxing material. There is anisotropy in elastic shock strength and decay. The amount of precursor decay with propagation distance and stress relaxation behind the elastic shock varied among the orientations. The {010} orientation had larger elastic precursors than did the other two orientations; the {010} crystal does not have the regular plastic deformation mechanisms available to it. Elastic Hugoniots were obtained from the measurements. The inelastic deformation mechanisms may vary with orientation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A simple model and an analytical approach are presented, which provides a basis to understand the complex tip-surface interactions responsible for the image contrast in PFM. In particular, the measured amplitude of the piezoresponse out-of-plane surface displacements of a C- domain is compared with theoretical results based upon a three-dimensional Green’s function solution. The electric field distribution in the tip-surface contact is determined using image-charge calculations for a spherical tip separated by a thin water layer from a mechanically isotropic and electrically anisotropic dielectric half plane. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/07//7/1/2004 VL - 96 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 636 EP - 640 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The unique nonuniform deformation characteristic of high-pressure torsion was used to produce nanostructures with systematically varying grain sizes in a copper disk, which allows us to study the grain-size effect on the deformation mechanisms in nanostructured copper using a single sample. The as-processed copper disk has 100–200 nm grains near its center and 10–20 nm grains at its periphery. High densities of full dislocations (2×1016/m2) were distributed nonuniformly in large grains, implying that dislocation slip is the dominant deformation mechanism. With increasing dislocation density, the dislocations accumulated and rearranged, forming elongated nanodomains. The originally formed nanodomains remain almost the same crystalline orientation as their parent large grains. Further deformation occurred mainly through partial dislocation emissions from nanodomain boundaries, resulting in high density of nanotwins and stacking faults in the nanodomains. The elongated nanodomains finally transformed into equiaxed nanocrystalline grains with large-angle grain boundaries. The results suggest that grain boundary rotation and grain boundary sliding might play a significant role in the formation of large-angle grain boundaries in nanocrystalline grains. These experimental results show that different deformation mechanisms operate at different length scales and confirm unambiguously the deformation mechanisms of nanocrystalline grains predicted by molecular dynamic simulations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Offset of the 0.27±0.03 Ma Tor Sibohi rhyodacite dome by an active strand of the Sumatra fault, the Tor Sibohi fault (TSF), indicates a slip rate of about 9 mm/y. This value is lower than previous regional estimates of ∼25–30 mm/y for Holocene slip on the Sumatra fault determined from stream offsets in the Taratung region. This discrepancy may be due to (1) a difference between Holocene and late Quaternary rates of slip and (2) additional slip on other faults in the Sarulla area. Since the magnitude of undated stream offsets along the TSF in the Sarulla area is similar to those in the Taratung area, the discrepancy is likely to be due largely to a change in slip rate over time.Within the Sarulla area, major volcanic centers include the Sibualbuali stratavolcano (∼0.7–0.3 Ma), the Hopong caldera (∼1.5 Ma), and the Namora-I-Langit dacitic dome field (0.8–0.1 Ma). These centers generated the majority of the ash-flow tuffs and tuffaceous sediments filling the Sarulla graben, and appear to have been localized by structural features related to the Sumatra fault zone.Four geothermal systems within the Sarulla area are closely linked to major faults and volcanic centers. In three of the systems, reservoir permeability is clearly dominated by specific structures within the Sumatra fault system. In the fourth geothermal system, Namora-I-Langit geothermal field, permeability may be locally influenced by faults, but highly permeable fractures are widely distributed.

Cumulative data suggest that these diverse proteins are expressed on the cell surface and might be immunologically important. We performed phylogenetic analyses and statistical modeling with 18 reference serovars and 1 genovariant of C. trachomatis to examine the evolutionary characteristics and comparative genetics of PmpC and pmpC, the gene that encodes this protein. We also examined 12 recently isolated ocular and urogenital clinical samples, since reference serovars are laboratory adapted and may not represent strains that are presently responsible for human disease. Phylogenetic reconstructions revealed a clear distinction for disease groups, corresponding to levels of tissue specificity and virulence of the organism. Further, the most prevalent serovars, E, F, and Da, formed a distinct clade. According to the results of comparative genetic analyses, these three genital serovars contained two putative insertion sequence (IS)-like elements with 10- and 15-bp direct repeats, respectively, while all other genital serovars contained one IS-like element. Ocular trachoma serovars also contained both insertions. Previously, no IS-like elements have been identified for Chlamydiaceae. Surprisingly, 7 (58%) of 12 clinical isolates revealed pmpC sequences that were identical to the sequences of other serovars, providing clear evidence for a high rate of whole-gene recombination. Recombination and the differential presence of IS-like elements among distinct disease and prevalence groups may contribute to genome plasticity, which may lead to adaptive changes in tissue tropism and pathogenesis over the course of the organism's evolution.

Here, we extend the traditional uses of topographic analysis to evaluate the role played by topography in the distribution of regional-scale biodiversity in the south-western USA. An important aspect of our study is its ability to provide a way to quantify characteristics of the topographic fabric and to construct predictive models that can be used to test hypotheses that relate topography and biodiversity. South-western USA region of the North American Cordillera. Our approach begins with a quantitative analysis of the topography and the construction of a predicted biodiversity map based on measurable topographic quantities: organization, roughness, slope aspect, grain orientation and mean elevation. We then make a quantitative comparison between the predicted and observed biodiversity, based on the assumption that land-cover diversity is a plausible measure of regional-scale biodiversity. Land-cover information used for this study was collected as part of the U.S.G.S. global land cover characteristics (GLCC) project and is derived from satellite (AVHRR) imagery. To a first order, the predicted regional-scale biodiversity based on our topographic model shows a good correlation with the observed biodiversity (as estimated from the land-cover diversity). Our model overestimates the biodiversity in many parts of the Colorado Plateau, Rio Grande Rift, and the low desert regions of the Southern Basin and Range, suggesting that in these provinces a biodiversity estimate based solely on topography is an over-simplification. However, much of the Madrean Archipelago and Sierra Madre provinces, which are centres of high biodiversity in this region, show excellent agreement between the observed and predicted biodiversity. While we acknowledge that many other factors in addition to topography have an important influence on biodiversity (particularly on a local scale), we conclude that topography plays a primary role in the regional to continental-scale biodiversity, particularly in regions characterized by insular mountain fabrics.

The pH not only determines the amount of adsorbed Pt but also influences the particle size of the reduced catalyst. The highest dispersions were obtained at lower Pt loading and drying in air at 100 °C followed by reduction in H2 at 250 °C. With increasing calcination temperature there was a nearly linear decrease in the Pt dispersion. It is suggested that the dispersion is dependent on the distribution of Pt species on silica at the time of reduction. Reduction of Pt2+ adsorbed under conditions to give strong electrostatic interaction leads to particles with a dispersion of 1.0. Calcination at temperatures form 150 to 400 °C leads to partial oxidation of PTA to Pt4+ species, which reduce to metallic particles with a dispersion of about 0.4. Finally, calcination above 525 °C leads to large metallic Pt particles with a dispersion of about 0.07. By selecting the method of preparation and calcination temperature, very small to large metallic nanoparticles can be prepared.

They compute excitation energies, excited-state dipole moments, and transition moments of closed- and open-shell systems, taking advantage of spin, spatial (real Abelian), and permutation symmetries simultaneously and fully (within the spin–orbital formalisms). The related Λ equation solvers for coupled-cluster (CC) methods through and up to connected quadruple excitation (CCSD, CCSDT, and CCSDTQ) have also been developed. These developments have been achieved, by virtue of the algebraic and symbolic manipulation program that automated the formula derivation and implementation altogether. The EOM-CC methods and CC Λ equations introduce a class of second quantized ansatz with a de-excitation operator (Y⁁), a number of excitation operators (X⁁), and a physical (e.g., the Hamiltonian) operator (A⁁), leading to the tensor contraction expressions that can be performed in the order of ((...((yx)x)...)x)a or ((...((ax)x)...)x)y at the minimal peak operation cost, where x, y, and a are basis-set representations (i.e., tensors) of the respective operators X⁁, Y⁁, and A⁁. Any intermediate tensor resulting from either contraction order is shown to have at most six groups of permutable indices, and this knowledge is used to guide the computer-synthesized programs to fully exploit the permutation symmetry of any tensor to minimize the arithmetic and memory costs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

As an example of the very general formalism, the decomposition of the T⁁2 operator obtained from coupled cluster doubles calculations is used to analyze the strength and character of pair correlations in a variety of molecules with interesting electronic structure. The magnitude of the largest singular value(s) determines the strength of the correlation(s), and the corresponding right- and left-hand singular vectors characterize the physical and spatial nature of the correlations. The primary advantage of this tool over natural orbital analysis is that it provides direct associations between the occupied and virtual geminals involved in the correlations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Atomic oxygen is present on the TiC(001) substrate after small doses of O2 at room temperature. A big positive shift (1.5–1.8 eV) was detected for the C 1s core level. These photoemission studies suggest the existence of strong O↔C interactions. A phenomenon corroborated by the results of first-principles calculations, which show a CTiTi hollow as the most stable site for the adsorption of O. Ti and C atoms are involved in the adsorption and dissociation of the O2 molecule. In general, the bond between O and the TiC(001) surface contains a large degree of ionic character. The carbide→O charge transfer is substantial even at high coverages (>0.5 ML) of oxygen. At 500 K and large doses of O2, oxidation of the carbide surface occurs with the removal of C and formation of titanium oxides. There is an activation barrier for the exchange of Ti–C and Ti–O bonds which is overcome only by the formation of C–C or C–O bonds on the surface. The mechanism for the removal of a C atom as CO gas involves a minimum of two O adatoms, and three O adatoms are required for the formation of CO2 gas. Due to the high stability of TiC, an O adatom alone cannot induce the generation of a C vacancy in a flat TiC(001) surface.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The clear-sky aerosol forcing is derived directly from these data, without requiring detailed information about the aerosol properties that are not routinely observed such as chemical composition, microphysical properties, and their height variations. To determine the diurnally averaged Saharan dust radiative forcing efficiency (i.e., broadband shortwave forcing per unit optical depth at 550 nm, W m-2 Ta-1), two extreme seasons are juxtaposed: the high-dust months [June–August (JJA)] and the low-dust months [November-January (NDJ)]. It is found that the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) diurnal mean forcing efficiency is −35 ± 3 W m-2Ta-1 for JJA, and −26 ± 3 W m-2 Ta-1 for NDJ. These efficiencies can be fit by reducing the spectrally varying aerosol single-scattering albedo such that its value at 550 nm is reduced from 0.95 ± 0.04 for JJA to about 0.86 ± 0.04 for NDJ. The lower value for the low-dust months might be influenced by biomass-burning aerosols that were transported into the study region from equatorial Africa. Although the high-dust season has a greater (absolute value of the) TOA forcing efficiency, the low-dust season may have a greater surface forcing efficiency. Extrapolations based on model calculations suggest the surface forcing efficiencies to be about −65 W m-2Ta-1 for the high-dust season versus −81 W m-2Ta-1 for the low-dust season. These observations indicate that the aerosol character within a region can be readily modified, even immediately adjacent to a powerful source region such as the Sahara. This study provides important observational constraints for models of dust radiative forcing.

The MRA relies on an orthogonal projection of uncertain data and solution variables onto a multi-wavelet basis, consisting of compact piecewise-smooth polynomial functions. The coefficients of the expansion are computed through a Galerkin procedure. The MRA scheme is applied to the simulation of the Lorenz system having a single random parameter. The convergence of the solution with respect to the resolution level and expansion order is investigated. In particular, results are compared to two Monte-Carlo sampling strategies, demonstrating the superiority of the MRA. For more complex problems, however, the MRA approach may require excessive CPU times. Adaptive methods are consequently developed in order to overcome this drawback. Two approaches are explored: the first is based on adaptive refinement of the multi-wavelet basis, while the second is based on adaptive block-partitioning of the space of random variables. Computational tests indicate that the latter approach is better suited for large problems, leading to a more efficient, flexible and parallelizable scheme.

XBGPR attenuation tomography is conducted in order to test the ability of using images of electromagnetic attenuation for hydrogeologic investigations. The results of four pre-infiltration attenuation inversions shows standard deviations below 0.1 Np/m, and demonstrate the consistency of the XBGPR tomography technique for making time-lapse observations. Correlation to the core records indicates that XBGPR attenuation tomograms provide high-resolution images of clay distribution in the vadose zone. Water infiltration at the ground surface was initiated in February 1999 at a constant rate of 2.7 cm/day, and continued at this rate throughout the data collection experiment. Time-lapse attenuation tomograms show that attenuation increases by approximately 0.3 Np/m during the water infiltration, and indicate a snowplow effect may be occurring where salts are dissolved by the water and concentrated at the front of the plume. Seasonal temperature changes may also cause changes in electromagnetic attenuation images, and masking the evidence of water infiltration. Thus caution must be taken when using time-lapse attenuation images to interpret the movement of a water plume during a long-term experiment as temperature changes.

When the excitation energy is lower than the K absorption threshold by about 10 eV or more, RIXS spectra observed approach a mirror image of 1s-core-hole lifetime-broadening-removed (LBR) XANES spectra, although the scattering intensity is prohibitively weak because of the unsatisfactory resonant condition employed. Approaching closer to the resonance, RIXS intensity increases by several orders of magnitude and concurrently observed is a surprisingly complicated set of spectra which heavily depends on the excitation energies. From each RIXS spectrum obtained under close to the resonant conditions, 1s-core-hole LBR-XANES or 1s- and 2p-core-hole LBR-XANES can be deduced by analytical method or numerical calculations. The RIXS-XANES method has been applied to CuO to reveal an existence of hidden electronic states near the absorption threshold.

High-resolution emission spectra, their excitation energy threshold and their evolution with the exciting photon energy from threshold to saturation have been measured for a range of elements. The analysis, done in conjunction with ab initio Dirac-Fock calculations including QED corrections, reveals a good overall agreement between the theory and the experiment. However, small deviations are found, and assigned to an incomplete accounting for the intermediacy of the coupling scheme. The incident-photon energy dependence of the cross-section suggests a pure shake-off (SO) process for the creation of the second K hole in all measured elements. The intensity evolution deviates significantly from the predictions of the regnant theoretical model of Thomas and has a surprisingly large saturation range, which still lacks a theoretical explanation.

We find a strong involvement of hydrogen bonding in the mixing of water and methanol molecules. The local electronic structure of water and methanol clusters, where water cluster is bridging within a 6-member open-ring structured methanol cluster, is separately determined. The experimental findings suggest an incomplete mixing of water–alcohol systems and a strong self-association between methanol chain and water cluster through hydrogen bonding. The enhancement of joint water–methanol open-ring structure owes the explanation to the loss of entropy of the aqueous solutions.

Experimental results show that the O 1s2p2p Auger peak splits and it can be best fitted to three component peaks. The relative intensity of the three peaks feature retain essentially similar values, in an experiment allowable error range of several percents, for both composition PSMO at O K threshold and below Mn L2,3 excitation, but the total intensity fluctuates that reflecting the final state effect characteristic feature. This situation further changes drastically at above Mn L2,3 excitation energy by increasing the total intensity of x=0.3 system by a factor of four to that of x=0.0. These are discussed in terms of possible interatomic response and different valence band DOS for different PSMO compositions in the frame of covalent picture.

Such changes are best described by a model based on negatively charged hydrogen (H-) ions. We have studied the electronic structure of the similar Gd–H system by X-ray Absorption and Resonant Inelastic Soft X-ray Scattering (RIXS) Spectroscopies. During our measurements we found charge transfer excitations, which produce charge-transfer satellite systems. These satellites result support the view that hydrogen is an electron acceptor.

X-ray photoemission, photoabsorption, and resonant fluorescence were applied to study the electronic structure of this material. High resolution photoemission measurements on the valence band (VB) electronic structure and La 3d and 4d, Ca 2p, B 1s, and O 1s core lines were used to evaluate the surface and near surface chemistry. Element specific density of unoccupied electronic states in LaCOB were probed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the La 3d (M4,5-edge), B 1s, and O 1s (K-edges) absorption edges. Soft X-ray fluorescence was used to further examine valence band states associated with spectral differences noted in the absorption measurements. These results provide the first measurements of the electronic structure and surface chemistry of this rare-earth oxoborate.

The data make a contribution on the issue of the presence of the band splitting in mono-domain single crystal of high Tc superconductor (HTSC) Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) optimally doped and the symmetry of the subbands. The energy and polarization dependences of the ARPES matrix elements help disentangle features coming from both subbands, too close to each other to be detected by simple ARPES. The matrix element influence on the photoemission intensity at the Fermi level, allows us to find the evidence of the band splitting, as well as to provide additional information about the symmetry of each subband.

This detector is capable of recording spectra over 768 channels with ∼1.5 channels (∼75 μm) resolution and with good linearity up to countrates of >1 MHz per channel or >1 GHz overall. In first experiments with it, photoelectron spectra spanning several hundred channels of resolution have been obtained in as little as 50 ms; with future system improvements, this time should be reduced to 150 μs. The data obtained include rapid X-ray photoelectron diffraction scans and time-resolved core-level observations of a surface reaction process. This detector should open up several types of new experiment, including more rapid real-time observations of surface reaction kinetics by means of inner-shell spectroscopies.

The comparison of calculated and experimental soft X-ray spectra shows that p–d mixing is very sensitive to the value of the local Coulomb repulsion parameter U. This result is found to be in agreement with experimental resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectra (RIXS) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), which have been used to study electron correlation effects in magnetic clusters. The O 2p–Me 3d separation found in the experiment, is well reproduced by LDA + U band structure calculations, which include on-site Coulomb interactions. The 3d metal L2,3 RIXS behaviour reflects the presence of the local magnetic moment and confirms the existence of the energy gap in the 3d band of the metal.

The concentration dependence of the coverage correlates with independent, non-spatially resolved measurements using 125I-radiolabeled protein. At low concentrations (<0.1 mg/ml) of the buffered solution, adsorption of fibrinogen occurs with strong preference for PS domains. In contrast, adsorption from similar concentrations of unbuffered solution strongly prefers the interface of the PS and PMMA domains. Increasing the solution concentration up to 1 mg/ml of both buffered and unbuffered solutions leads progressively to full surface coverage (close-packed monolayer). These results demonstrate for the first time that X-PEEM with tunable soft X-rays has the sensitivity to locate and detect adsorbed proteins at the submonolayer level, while simultaneously detecting the spatial distribution of phases, and protein distribution relative to the phases, at the surface of an underlying microphase separated polymer substrate.

The main peak energies in the PAH X-ray spectra shifted to a higher energy region as the ratio of hydrogenated outer carbon atoms to the non-hydrogenated inner carbon atoms increased. Discrete variational (DV)-Xα molecular orbital calculations provided theoretical confirmation that the spectral features depend on the ratio of hydrogenated/non-hydrogenated carbon atoms, which suggests that the features around the main peaks provide the information of the degree of hydrogenation in PAH compounds.

A major strength of yeast display as a novel antibody discovery platform is the ability to characterize the binding properties, i.e., the affinity and epitope binding characteristics, of a clone without the need for subcloning, expression and purification of the scFv. This review focuses on novel attributes of yeast display for antibody engineering endeavors.

The technique enhances the spectral resolution by averaging away anisotropic spin interactions thereby producing isotropic-like spectra with resolved chemical shifts and scalar couplings. It should be possible to induce similar effects in a static sample if the direction of the magnetic field is varied, e.g., magic-angle rotation of the B0 field (B0-MAS). Here, this principle is experimentally demonstrated in a static sample of solid hyperpolarized xenon at ∼3.4 mT. By extension to moderately high fields, it is possible to foresee interesting applications in situations where physical manipulation of the sample is inconvenient or impossible. Such situations are expected to arise in many cases from materials to biomedicine and are particularly relevant to the novel approach of ex situ NMR spectroscopy and imaging.

It is shown how the standard dipole–dipole interaction, valid for large interparticle distances, should be modified in order to take into account the shape anisotropy of each particle. Explicit computations are given for a simple system of two interacting cylinders. For magnetic nanowires, i.e., cylinders with a very large aspect ratio, a simple derivation shows that the interaction is of monopolar, rather than dipolar, nature.

As observed in the TEM, the typical lamelIa morphology of air plasma sprayed oxide coatings was not observed in coatings fabricated from 40 nm γ-Al2O3, which was comprised of spherical powders that had partially sintered. However, lamellae were observed in the coatings prepared with both nanosized zirconia powders. The characteristic size of the lamella and the grains that comprised the zirconia coatings were nominally a few nanometers.

This composite medium consists of two flow regions separated by a third region which forms the doubly-porous matrix structure. The homogenized system recognizes the multiple scale processes and the microscale geometry of the local structure, and it quantifies the distributed heat exchange across the internal boundaries. The classical double-diffusion models of Rubinstein (1948) and Barenblatt (1960) are obtained in non-isotropic form for the special case of quasi-static coupling in this homogenized system.

The IR spectra indicate that the B2S3 glass network is under-doped in comparison to the corresponding composition in the xLi2S + (1 - x)B2S3 binary system. Additionally, the Raman spectra show that the GeS2 glass network is over-modified. Surprisingly, however, the 11Boron static NMR gives evidence that ∼80% of the boron atoms are in tetrahedral coordinated. A super macro tetrahedron, B10S18-6 is proposed as one of the structures in these glasses in which can account for the apparent low fraction of Li2S present in the B2S3 sub-network while at the same time enabling the high fraction of tetrahedral borons in the glass.

Effects of thermal annealing and irradiations on the stability of pre-existing SFTs produced by quenching and aging are also included in the review. Some results on the effects of thermal annealing of irradiation-induced SFTs are presented and discussed. The analysis of these observations leads to three significant conclusions: (a) during irradiation SFTs produced in the cascades are likely to interact with vacancies, self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and SIA clusters, (b) interaction with SIAs and their clusters may cause both shrinkage and transformation of SFTs into Frank loops and (c) both during irradiation and annealing the lifetime of SFTs is determined not only by their thermal stability but also by their stability against transformation to loops. These facts must be taken into account in the theoretical treatments of damage accumulation.

Russian scientists at the IPPE exposed steel samples to oxygen-controlled LBE at temperatures up to 823 K and exposure times up to 3000 h. We have characterized these post-exposure steel samples and unexposed controls, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Previous researchers have investigated the corrosion by LBE of steel of varying composition. In the present work, we compared two samples having the same composition (standard nuclear grade 316/316L) but different surface preparation: a cold-rolled sample was compared with an annealed sample. The cold-rolled sample had an order of magnitude less corrosion (i.e., both lower oxidation and less weight change) than the annealed sample. Sputter depth profiling of the exposed annealed sample and cold-rolled sample showed a marked difference in oxide layer composition between the annealed and cold-rolled samples. The annealed sample showed a complex oxide structure (iron oxide over chromium/iron oxide mixtures) of tens of microns thickness, while the cold-rolled sample was covered with a rather simple, primarily chromium oxide layer of ∼1 μm thickness.

The evolution of the void size distribution is treated in full generality, although the dislocation density is held constant versus time and temperature. The simulations reproduce several observed characteristics of irradiation swelling, involving a brief incubation delay followed by quasi-steady swelling. The predicted incubation period shows a clear dose-rate response – lower irradiation flux requires less total fluence to complete the incubation process. This trend is consistent with some recent experimental reports.

Surface hydroxyls were ubiquitous in all PuO2 samples exposed to H2O vapor or ambient air, and persisted with heating to 590 °C. Active surface sites for the reaction of H2O and other small molecules and spectral features consistent with pure stoichiometric PuO2 can be regenerated by thermal energy or by effects of a radiation field. Evidence of higher valence Pu species was observed in some treated samples with the formula PuO2+x.

It has been expanded to account for effects of high relative humidities. Adsorption capacity competition between water vapor and organic vapor is largely explained by mutual exclusion of adsorption volume of the activated carbon. The Dubinin/Radushkevich equation is used to describe the adsorption isotherms of both water and organic vapors. Effects of relative humidity and adsorbed water on adsorption rates are described by an empirical correlation with breakthrough times. The dynamic natures of adsorption and competition are incorporated using an expanding zone model with displaced water rollup.

As previously reported, (Cp)K reacts with LaI3(THF)4 (THF=tetrahydrofuran) in THF/pyridine to form the mono-ring complex (Cp)LaI2(py)3 (1) (py=pyridine); a minor product of this reaction is the bis-ring species (Cp)2LaI(py) (2). The solid state structure of 2 reveals a monomeric compound containing a pseudo-tetrahedral metal center exhibiting no unusual intramolecular contacts. Addition of one equiv of KNHAr (Ar=2,6-iPr2C6H3) to complex 1 in THF generates the mono-anilido compound (Cp)LaI(NHAr)(THF)2 (3), which may be converted to the more stable pyridine adduct (Cp)LaI(NHAr)(py)2 (4) by the addition of pyridine to 3. An X-ray crystal structure of 3 indicated a trigonal bipyramidal metal center with the anilido group oriented trans to the iodide atom (N1–La1–I1=123.1(3)°). A structural study on the bis-pyridine adduct 4 revealed a similar Cs-symmetric structure with a slightly increased Nanilido–La–I angle of 132.1(2)°. Addition of KNHAr to the di-iodo bipyridine adduct (Cp)LaI2(bipy)(py) (5), in which the two iodide atoms are cis-disposed, yields the mono-anilido complex (Cp)LaI(NHAr)(bipy)(py) (6) (bipy=2,2-bipyridine); this compound may also be prepared by the addition of bipy to (Cp)LaI(NHAr)(py)2 (4). An X-ray diffraction study shows that the lanthanum center in 6 is octahedrally coordinated by a Cp ring, an iodide, an anilido group, a pyridine molecule and two nitrogens of a bipy molecule. In this case, the anilido moiety and the iodide ligand are arranged in a cis fashion (Nanilido–La–I=111.2(2)°), resulting in a complex with C1 symmetry. Both (Cp)LaI(NHAr)(py)2 (4) and (Cp)LaI(NHAr)(bipy)(py) (6) are inactive as catalysts for the hydroamination/cyclization of 2-amino-hex-5-ene.

The group of all feasible permutations is the wreath product group S5[S2] and it consists of 3840 operations divided into 36 conjugacy classes and irreducible representations. We have shown that the full character table can be constructed using elegant matrix type generator algebra. The character table has been applied to the water pentamer by obtaining the nuclear spin statistical weights of the rovibronic levels and tunneling splittings of the fully nonrigid pentamer. We have also obtained the statistical weights and tunneling splittings of a semirigid deuterated pentamer that exhibits pseudorotation with an averaged C5h (G10) symmetry used in the assignment of vibration-rotation-tunneling spectra. It is also shown that the previously considered group G320 for water pentamer of feasible permutations is a subgroup of the full group and is the direct product of wreath product C5[S2] and the inversion group. The correlation tables have been constructed for the semirigid (G10) to nonrigid (G3840) groups for the rotational levels and tunneling levels. The nuclear spin statistical weights have also been derived for both the limits and through the use of subduced representations the corresponding information can be obtained for G(320) as well from G(3840).

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 108 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 5643 EP - 5648 SN - 10895639 AB - The reflected shock tube technique with a novel multipass absorption spectrometric detection method has been used to study two OH-radical reactions: OH + H2 → H2O + H (1), and OH + C2H6 → H2O + C2H5 (2). Reaction 1 was chosen in order to test the method against earlier rate constant determinations. The measurements on both reactions were performed in single-shot experiments with low initial concentrations of hydroxyl radicals, [OH]0 = (5-15) × 1012 molecule cm-3, which allowed reliable isolation of the elementary reactions. The measured rate constants are: k1 = 5.44 × 10-11 exp(-3220 K/T) (832-1359 K), and k2 = 1.10 × 10-10 exp(-2537 K/T) (822-1367 K), both in cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The present study extends the experimental T-range for reaction 2. This new work and earlier lower-T studies have been combined to give a new evaluation, k2 = 2.68 × 10-18 (T/K)2.224 exp(-373 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1. An ab initio potential energy surface was additionally used to derive a theoretical expression for this reaction.

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis indicates that in the as-prepared zeolite Fe is present in the framework but migrates to extraframework sites upon thermal activation at elevated temperature. In the absence of framework Al, Fe forms small particles of Fe3O4. When Al is included in the zeolite, extraframework Fe associates with framework Al in a manner identical to that observed in Fe-exchanged H-ZSM-5. Therefore, the presence of framework Al in the MFI structure plays a critical role in stabilizing atomically dispersed Fe.

The photoexcitation of TiO2 at 4.6 K yields to the localization of valence band holes at carboxyl groups of surface-conjugated cyclodextrin and conduction band electrons at lattice Ti atoms. The presence of 1-adamantanol in the cyclodextrin cavity does not affect charge separation and trapping because of its unfavorable oxidation potential. However, when ferrocenemethanol (Eox = 0.52 V vs NHE) was used as the guest molecule the formation of ferrocenium cation was observed, revealing electron transfer from guest molecules to TiO2 nanoparticles. This results in dissociation of the host-guest assembly because of repulsion of the charged ion from the hydrophobic cavity of cyclodextrin into the bulk of the aqueous solution and consequently leads to efficient charge separation and redox chemistry.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 108 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 9228 EP - 9235 SN - 15206106 AB - In an aqueous electrolyte solution, the potential of mean force (PMF) for two macroions is affected not only by the size and charge of each electrolyte ion but also by the ion's polarizability. The Lifshitz theory provides a basis for calculating the van der Waals interaction between cation-colloid, anion-colloid, cation-cation, and anion-anion pairs. Monte Carlo simulations are used to determine how salt identity affects the PMF between colloidal particles or globular proteins in a saline solution, a phenomenon observed experimentally by Hofmeister for aqueous proteins more than 100 years ago. The calculations show that the PMF and, hence, solution phase behavior are sensitive to the van der Waals interaction between an ion and a macroion. The calculations described here may be useful for interpretation of experimental phase diagrams and for guiding design of separation processes where a salt is used to induce colloid or protein precipitation.

It is demonstrated that this assumption is inconsistent with the free-drift limit, and how great an effect it has in practice is examined. By examining the momentum balance in the free-drift limit, the authors determine the proper area scaling for the forcing terms, thereby obtaining a more accurate solution, particularly in low-ice-concentration regions.

The results (http://asdp.bnl.gov/ asda/Libraries/) show that worldwide, every year since 1999, more than 50% of the deposited X-ray structures have used synchrotron facilities, reaching 75% by 2003. In this web-based database, all PDB entries among individual synchrotron beamlines are archived, synchronized with the weekly PDB release. Statistics regarding the quality of experimental data and the refined model for all structures are presented, and these are analysed to reflect the impact of synchrotron sources. The results confirm the common impression that synchrotron sources extend the size of structures that can be solved with equivalent or better quality than home sources.

At low frequencies the attenuation scales quadratically with the frequency and linearly with average grain size. In addition, there is a large difference in attenuation between powder metallurgy samples and cast-and-wrought samples, although their qualitative behaviors are similar both in terms of frequency dependence and grain size dependence. Such difference and the discrepancy with the existing theory may point to mechanisms of scattering by grain boundaries that are not included in the current theoretical model.

Landfill gas composition, respiration rates, and subsidence were measured for 400 days in 200-L tanks filled with fresh waste materials to compare the relative effectiveness of the two treatments. Tanks were prepared to provide the following conditions: (1) air injection and leachate recirculation (aerobic), (2) leachate recirculation (anaerobic), and (3) no treatment (anaerobic). Respiration tests on the aerobic wet tank showed a steady decrease in oxygen consumption rates from 1.3 mol/day at 20 days to 0.1 mol/day at 400 days. Aerobic wet tanks produced, on average, 6 mol of carbon dioxide (CO2)/kg of MSW as compared with anaerobic wet tanks, which produced 2.2 mol methane/ kg of MSW and 2.0 mol CO2/kg methane. Over the test period, the aerobic tanks settled on average 35%, anaerobic tanks settled 21.7%, and the no-treatment tank settled 7.5%, equivalent to overall mass loss in the corresponding reactors. Aerobic tanks reduced stabilization time and produced negligible odor compared with anaerobic tanks, possibly because of the 2 orders of magnitude lower leachate ammonia levels in the aerobic tank. Both treatment regimes provide the opportunity for disposal and remediation of liquid waste.

In the present study, viscosity data are obtained by determining the compressive creep response of bulk glasses in air. The findings reveal that increasing both the nitrogen-to-oxygen and the yttrium-to-aluminum ratios of the glasses shifts the glass viscosity to higher temperatures. In addition, the substitution of progressively smaller rare earths in the glass composition results in a further increase in the glass viscosity. These effects have important implications in the creep resistance of silicon nitride ceramics where the amorphous intergranular films are a major factor in creep resistance.

The oxygen stoichiometry, y, in Sr2Fe2-xMoxOy was also determined across the solid solution region. Using the experimental data and by invoking a substitution model based on preferential substitution of similar ionic radii for Mo ions on the Fe ion sites, it was possible, for the first time, to calculate the individual Fe and Mo valence states in the substituted samples. In Ar/1% H2 at 1200°C, Fe2+/Fe3+ and Mo5+/Mo6+ are present in Sr2Fe2-xMoxOy. With increasing Mo substitution, the amount of Fe3+ decreases. In the ideal Sr2FeMoO6 composition, we predict the amounts of Fe2+, Fe3+, Mo5+, and Mo6+ to be equal. In Ar/1% H2 at 1200°C, there is a predominance of Mo5+ in Sr2FeMoOy because the oxygen stoichiometry, y, in SFMO has a value of only 5.8. Hence such processing conditions are too reducing. The work predicts the processing conditions for optimizing film and bulk properties, as well as explaining why there is a wide variability of reported sample properties in the literature. To optimize the magnetoresistive properties of Sr2FeMoO6, it is critical (a) to carefully select the correct annealing atmosphere to obtain oxygen stoichiometric Sr2FeMoO6 and (b) to control cation composition; otherwise nonstoichiometric Sr2Fe2-xMoxOy will form instead of Sr2FeMoO6.

Documented here is a new instrument utilizing these technologies toward the robust detection and fragmentation of biomolecules >10 kDa. Up to 55-fold enhancement in ion population by selective ion accumulation combined with 10- to 20- fold signal-to-noise improvement by application of a DC voltage gradient to an accumulation octopole during the ion transfer event offers improved signal-to-noise (or speed) of MS/MS experiments, for proteins from Methanococcus jannaschii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole cell lysates. After external quadrupole filtering with a 40 m/z window, three proteins were fragmented (and identified) in parallel from the database of Methanococcus jannaschii. Electron capture dissociation (ECD) of an intact yeast protein provides extensive sequence information resulting in a high degree of localization for an N-terminal acetylation. Hybrid fragmentation, infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) followed by low energy electrons (ECD), with the electron source located laterally off the z-axis and external to the magnet bore, presents a strategy for identification of proteins by means of the sequence tag approach. Automated implementation of diverse MSn approaches in a Q-FTMS instrument promises to help realize “top-down” proteomics in the future.

When compared with corresponding optical images of similar, but stained sections from the same animal, the secondary ion images appear to reflect less developed brains. During development, myelination occurs after axon extension. Apparently, myelination obscures the source of secondary m/z 184, phosphatidylcholine, from the analyzing ion probe; absenting myelination, secondary ion images show no physiological features.

The new formalism clearly reveals the approximations and assumptions that are implicitly embedded in these different parameterizations. A new Kessler-type parameterization is further derived by eliminating the incorrect and/or unnecessary assumptions inherent in the existing Kessler-type parameterizations. The new parameterization exhibits a different dependence on liquid water content and droplet concentration, and provides theoretical explanations for the multitude of values assigned to the tunable coefficients associated with the commonly used parameterizations. Relative dispersion of the cloud droplet size distribution (defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean radius of the cloud droplet size distribution) is explicitly included in the new parameterization, allowing for investigation of the influences of the relative dispersion on the autoconversion rate and, hence, on the second indirect aerosol effect. The new analytical parameterization compares favorably with those parameterizations empirically obtained by curve-fitting results from simulations of detailed microphysical models.

T1 - Neuroendocrine lung carcinogenesis in hamsters is inhibited by green tea or theophylline while the development of adenocarcinomas is promoted: implications for chemoprevention in smokers JO - Lung Cancer (01695002) JF - Lung Cancer (01695002) Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 45 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 11 EP - 18 SN - 01695002 AB - Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer death in developed countries. With smoking the major etiological factor for lung cancer, there is a great need for the development of chemopreventive treatments that inhibit the progression of initiated cells and premalignant lesions into overt lung cancer in smokers who quit. Although the major focus of chemoprevention research has been on agents that inhibit the metabolic activation of genotoxic chemicals contained in tobacco products, some of these agents may additionally modulate growth-regulating signal transduction. In turn, the function of such signaling pathways is highly cell type-specific, with a given pathway inhibiting the growth of one cell type while stimulating the growth of others. The current experiment has tested the hypothesis that green tea and the methylxanthine theophylline contained in tea inhibit the progression of neuroendocrine lung carcinogenesis in hamsters with hyperoxic lung injury and initiated with the tobacco carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) while promoting the development of Clara cell-derived pulmonary adenocarcinomas initiated by NNK in healthy hamsters. This hypothesis is based on published evidence that human small cell lung cancer as well as the neuroendocrine hamster tumors are regulated via autocrine signaling pathways that activate Raf-1 and the mitogen-activated (MAP) kinase pathway whereas human pulmonary adenocarcinomas of Clara cell lineage and the hamster model of this cancer type are regulated by a β-adrenergic pathway involving the activation of cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) and the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade. In turn, it was hypothesized that theophylline would inhibit Raf-1-dependent tumor progression while promoting cAMP-dependent tumor progression due to its documented ability to inhibit the enzyme cAMP-phophodiesterase. The experimental design simulated chemoprevention in former smokers in that treatments with tea or theophylline started after completion of a 10-week tumor induction period with NNK. Our data show that green tea as well as theophylline significantly inhibited lung tumor multiplicity in the neuroendocrine cancer model whereas identical chemopreventive treatments significantly promoted the lung tumor multiplicity in the adenocarcinoma model. These findings indicate that green tea and theophylline as well as other chemopreventive agents that modulate signal transduction may have opposite effects on cancers of different histolopathology and cell lineage. At the current state of knowledge such chemopreventive treatments should only be used as adjuvant to cancer therapy of cancers that have been fully characterized at the pathology and molecular level.

Unlike most other prokaryotic genomes that have only one or two superfamilies of eukaryotic-type PPs, the streptomycete genomes possess the eukaryotic-type PPs that belong to four superfamilies: 2 phosphoprotein phosphatases and 2 low-molecular-mass protein tyrosine phosphatases in each species, 49 Mg2+- or Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatases (PPMs) and 2 conventional protein tyrosine phosphatases (CPTPs) in S. coelicolor A3(2), and 48 PPMs and 3 CPTPs in S. avermitilis. Sixty-four percent of the PPs found in S. coelicolor A3(2) have orthologues in S. avermitilis, indicating that they originated from a common ancestor and might be involved in the regulation of more conserved metabolic activities. The genes of eukaryotic-type PP unique to each surveyed streptomycete genome are mainly located in two arms of the linear chromosomes and their evolution might be involved in gene acquisition or duplication to adapt to the extremely variable soil environments where these organisms live. In addition, 56 % of the PPs from S. coeficolor A3(2) and 65 % of the PPs from S. avermitilis possess at least one additional domain having a putative biological function. These include the domains involved in the detection of redox potential, the binding of cyclic nucleotides, mRNA, DNA and ATP, and the catalysis of phosphorylation reactions. Because they contained multiple functional domains, most of them were assigned functions other than PPs in previous annotations. Although few studies have been conducted on the physiological functions of the PPs in streptomycetes, the existence of large numbers of putative PPs in these two streptomycete genomes strongly suggests that eukaryotic-type PPs play important regulatory roles in primary or secondary metabolic pathways. The identification and analysis of such a large number of putative eukaryotic-type PPs from S. coelicolor A3(2) and S. avermitilis constitute a basis for further exploration of the signal transduction pathways mediated by these phosphatases in industrially important strains of streptomycetes.

Recently, experimental techniques capable of probing grain orientation and stress with a spatial resolution compatible with the dimensions of the lines have emerged. White beam X-ray microdiffraction is particularly well suited to the in situ study of electromigration. The technique was used to probe microstructure in interconnects and recently unambiguously unveiled the plastic nature of the deformation induced by mass transport during electromigration in Al(Cu) interconnect lines even before macroscopic damage. The aim of the present research is to understand the complex dislocation structure arising from electromigration-induced plastic deformation by simulating the shape of the reflections and comparing them with the shape observed in the experimental data. We provide a first quantitative analysis of the dislocation structure generated in individual micron-sized Al grains during an in situ electromigration experiment. Custom software allows us to determine the orientation of the predominant dislocation network in each sample subgrain.

We identified PC4 as a suppressor of the oxidative mutator phenotype of the Escherichia coli fpg mutY mutant and demonstrate that this suppression requires its ssDNA binding activity. Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants lacking their PC4 ortholog Sub1 are sensitive to hydrogen peroxide and exhibit spontaneous and peroxide-induced hypermutability. PC4 expression suppresses the peroxide sensitivity of the yeast sub1Δ mutant, suggesting that the human protein has a similar function. A role for yeast and human proteins in DNA repair is suggested by the demonstration that Subl acts in a peroxide resistance pathway involving Rad2 and by the physical interaction of PC4 with the human Rad2 homolog XPG. We show that XPG recruits PC4 to a bubble-containing DNA substrate with a resulting displacement of XPG and formation of a PC4-DNA complex. We discuss the possible requirement for PC4 in either global or transcription-coupled repair of oxidative DNA damage to mediate the release of XPG bound to its substrate.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 4 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1213 EP - 1219 SN - 15306984 AB - The penetration and residence of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNF) within live cell matrices is demonstrated upon substrates that incorporate spatially registered indices to facilitate temporal tracking of individual cells. Penetration of DNA-modified carbon nanofibers into live cells using this platform provides efficient delivery and expression of exogenous genes, similar to “microinjection”-styled methods, but on a massively parallel basis. Spatially registered indices on the substrate allow one to conveniently locate individual cells, facilitating temporal tracking of gene expression events. We describe fabrication and use of this gene delivery platform which consists of arrays of individual carbon nanofibers at 5-μm pitch within numerically indexed, 100-μm square grid patterns. Fabrication of these devices on silicon substrates enables mass production of 100 devices (5 mm2) per wafer, with each device providing over 800,000 nanofiber-based “needles” for cellular impalement and gene delivery applications.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 4 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1225 EP - 1229 SN - 15306984 AB - We have developed a single-layer UV-nanoimprint process, which was utilized to fabricate 34 × 34 crossbar circuits with a half-pitch of 50 nm (equivalent to a bit density of 10 Gbit/cm2). This process contains two innovative ideas to overcome challenges in the nanoimprint at shrinking dimensions. First, our new liquid resist formulation allowed us to minimize the residual resist layer thickness after curing and requires the relatively low imprint pressure of 20 psi. Second, by engineering the surface energy of the substrate we also eliminated the problem of trapped air during contact with the mold such that it spreads the resist and expels trapped air uniformly. Our overall process required fewer processing steps than any bilayer process and yielded high quality results at 50 nm half-pitch.

With an optimal probe size of 0.8 Å, unprecedentedly detailed images of the nanocrystal's lattice structure and surface morphology were obtained. This level of detail is important for the characterization of nanomaterials because of the high sensitivity of the nanocrystal's properties to minute changes in structure. As an example of the power of this technique, a sample of CdSe nanocrystals prepared using trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as the surfactant was compared to a sample of CdSe prepared using a mixture of TOPO and hexadecylamine (HDA). Z-STEM reveals striking differences in nanocrystal morphology as the result of the addition of HDA.

JO - Nature Cell Biology JF - Nature Cell Biology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 6 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 634 EP - 641 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 14657392 AB - The ubiquitin ligase SCFMet30 is required for cell cycle progression in budding yeast. The critical function of SCFMet30 is inactivation of the transcriptional activator Met4. Here we show that a single ubiquitin chain is attached to Met4 through lysine at position 163. Inhibition of Met4 ubiquitination by mutating lysine to arginine at this position constitutively activates, but does not stabilize, Met4. This supports a proteolysis-independent role of Cdc34-SCFMet30-catalysed Met4 ubiquitination. Surprisingly, the ubiquitin chain attached to Met4 is linked through Lys 48 in ubiquitin, a ubiquitin chain structure that is usually required for substrate targeting to the 26S proteasome. These results suggest that Lys 48-linked ubiquitin chains can have a regulatory role independent of proteolysis.

Initially, Gag forms an approximately spherical shell underlying the membrane of the immature particle. After proteolytic maturation of Gag, the capsid (CA) domain of Gag reforms into a conical shell enclosing the RNA genome. This mature shell contains 1,000-1,500 CA proteins assembled into a hexameric lattice with a spacing of 10 nm. By contrast, little is known about the structure of the immature virus. We used cryo-EM and scanning transmission EM to determine that an average (145 nm diameter) complete immature HIV particle contains ~5,000 structural (Gag) proteins, more than twice the number from previous estimates. In the immature virus, Gag forms a hexameric lattice with a spacing of 8.0 nm. Thus, less than half of the CA proteins form the mature core.

JO - Nonlinearity in Biology, Toxicology & Medicine JF - Nonlinearity in Biology, Toxicology & Medicine Y1 - 2004/07//Jul-Sep2004 VL - 2 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 171 SN - 15401421 AB - Biological tissues operate through cells that act together within signaling networks. These assure coordinated cell function in the face of constant exposure to an array of potentially toxic agents, externally from the environment and endogenously from metabolism. Living tissues are indeed complex adaptive systems. To examine tissue effects specific for low-dose radiation, (1) absorbed dose in tissue is replaced by the sum of the energies deposited by each track event, or hit, in a cell-equivalent tissue micromass (1 ng) in all micromasses exposed, that is, by the mean energy delivered by all microdose hits in the exposed micromasses, with cell dose expressing the total energy per micromass from multiple microdoses; and (2) tissue effects are related to cell damage and protective cellular responses per average microdose hit from a given radiation quality for all such hits in the exposed micromasses. The probability of immediate DNA damage per low-linear-energy-transfer (LET) average `microdose hit is extremely small increasing over a certain dose range in proportion to the number of hits. Delayed temporary adaptive protection (AP) involves (a) induced detoxification of reactive oxygen species, (b) enhanced rate of DNA repair (c) induced removal of damaged cells by apoptosis followed by normal cell replacement and by cell differentiation, and (d) stimulated immune response, all with corresponding changes in gene expression. These AP categories may last from less than a day to weeks and be tested by cell responses against renewed irradiation. They operate physiologically against nonradiogenic, largely endogenous DNA damage, which occurs abundantly and continually. Background radiation damage caused by rare microdose hits per micromass is many orders of magnitude less frequent. Except for apoptosis, AP increasingly fails above about 200 mGy of low-LET radiation, corresponding to about 200 microdose hits per exposed micromass. This ratio appears to exceed approximately 1 per day for protracted exposure. The balance between damage and protection favors protection at low cell doses and damage at high cell doses. Bystander effects from high-dosed cells to nonirradiated neighboring cells appear to include both damage and protection.

The chopper has only 11.6 cm length and has been set between the ion sources and the RFQ. It is similar to a beam transformer, and modulates the beam kinetic energy by 10%. The beam is successfully chopped because the RFQ has a rather small energy acceptance. A chopped beam was injected into the synchrotron and a beam study has been performed. A very short bunch was formed and accelerated to the top energy. The behavior of the short bunch shows that a dipole oscillation was excited because of an unexpected frequency error of the RF system. It was caused by noise in the B-clock (Gauss Clock) circuit. The dipole oscillation caused by the frequency error was significantly reduced and the acceleration efficiency was improved by replacing the B-clock module.

The technique requires no chromatographic separation, is able to distinguish 18 different compound classes (e.g., neutral nitrogen, carboxylic acids and oxygenates), and can identify ∼14,000 distinct masses by ultra-high mass resolution and mass accuracy. We previously studied three crude oils from different geological origins [Organic Geochemistry 33 (2002b) 743–759]. Here, we expand our research by comparing two source-equivalent Smackover oils of different levels of thermal maturity. We observe clear differences in the distribution of NSO compound classes, types (number of rings plus double bonds within a class), and number of alkyl carbons. With increasing thermal stress, the relative amount of sulfur and oxygen containing compounds decreases, condensation and aromatization of the polar cores increase, and the number of alkyl carbons decreases, reflecting the distribution of saturated hydrocarbons.

The free surface flow problem is studied here. Numerical solutions for steady free surface flow of a solid-fluid mixture down an inclined plane are presented. The problem is formulated using the mixture theory framework. The resulting set of three coupled nonlinear differential equations is nondimensionalized. A parametric study is conducted to understand the influence of the dimensionless numbers on the velocity and volume fraction. The maximum fluid velocity is found to decrease with increase in the ratio of the drag force to the viscous forces within the fluid phase (D1). The fluid phase velocity was found to decrease with increase in the ratio of the drag force to viscous force within the solid component (D2), and the corresponding solid phase velocity was found to increase.

JO - Petroleum Science & Technology JF - Petroleum Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 22 IS - 7/8 M3 - Article SP - 863 EP - 875 SN - 10916466 AB - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are essential components in numerous natural and man made organic compounds. In asphaltenes, knowledge of the electronic structure of both its aromatic and aliphatic components is of crucial importance, when trying to understand and predict its macroscopic properties. Theoretical studies of complex PAHs have led to simple rules to describe their π electron distribution, but systematic experimental support is still needed. A novel approach to directly probe carbon type in PAHs is described here, namely the technique of X-ray Raman spectroscopy (XRS). Conventional X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been used for many years for element specific characterization of local structure and chemistry. However, in the soft X-ray region (relevant for light elements) its application to numerous carbonaceous systems including asphaltenes encounters problems. Most of the difficulties, including surface sensitivity and restricted sample environments, stem from the submicron path lengths of soft X-rays and/or electrons. XRS provides a means for obtaining the information content of soft X-ray absorption spectra while maintaining the experimental benefits of hard X-ray techniques (˜mm path length). In the XRS process an incident photon is inelastically scattered and part of its energy is transferred to excite an inner shell electron into an unoccupied state. Under the dipole approximation, the resulting features are identical to the corresponding XAS spectrum. In the past, the extremely low cross-section of XRS has made this technique impractical, but intense new X-ray facilities and improvements in X-ray optics have helped to advance this unique spectroscopic tool. We have applied XRS to a series of PAHs and several asphaltenes. The results directly support the simple ideas contained in the “sextet-double bond” description of PAHs. Furthermore, we show that XRS can probe the geometrry of aromatic ring systems in asphaltenes, as well as its ratio of aromatic and aliphatic constituents.

To illustrate this methodology, we used a computer assisted structure elucidation software (SIGNATURE) to generate an ensemble of 10 isomers for Arabian Light (AL) asphaltenes compatible with (i) analytical data from elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, 1-D 1H/13C solution NMR and vapor pressure osmometry and (ii) literature data on the molecular composition of asphaltenes. The 10 model isomers were packed into a 3-D periodic cell to form the condensed phase model for the fraction of bulk AL asphaltenes with a number average molar mass (Mn) approximately equal to 1280 Dalton. This cell was subsequently used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to estimate the molar volume, density, enthalpy, specific heat at constant pressure, solubility parameter, and isothermal compressibility of the AL asphaltene fraction. The results of the MD simulations compare favorably with the available experimental data.

The residual resistivity ratios of these samples vary from 13 to 315. Matthiessen's law appears to hold above the onset of the charge-density wave phase transitions that begin near 43 K, but not below this temperature. Sharp features at all three charge-density wave transitions are observed and the effects of high magnetic fields on them are presented and discussed. The magnetoresistance is anisotropic, reaches 1000% at 2 K and 18 T and does not exhibit Kohler scaling. The Hall coefficient is positive, independent of magnetic field and slightly temperature dependent above about 40 K in agreement with earlier studies. Below 40 K the Hall coefficient changes sign as the temperature falls, varies with field and becomes much more strongly negative at the lowest temperatures than has been reported. Some of our results suggest that a spin-density wave may coexist with the charge-density wave states. Superconductivity is observed in two of our samples; we argue that it is intrinsic to α-U and suggest that it is consistent with a two-band model. Several parameters characterizing the transport and superconductivity of α-U are estimated.

Anisotropic thermal properties have been found in carbon nanotube composites. The introduction of ropes of SWCNTs gives rise to a decrease in the transverse thermal diffusivity with increasing carbon nanotube content while it does not change the in-plane thermal diffusivity. This is scientifically interesting and technologically important for the development of materials for novel thermal barrier coatings.

The stability of dislocation-obstacle configurations is determined by evaluating the configurational entropy. The analytical results imply a superposition law for the concentration of pinning obstacles on the dislocation line, and a Pythagorean-type hardening rule for the CRSS when obstacle strengths are weak and nearly the same. For comparison with derived results, discrete dislocation dynamics simulations are performed for irradiated iron.

The search was performed in the central rapidity region of inclusive deep inelastic scattering at an ep centre-of-mass energy of 300–318 GeV for exchanged photon virtuality, Q2, above 1 GeV2. Recent results from fixed-target experiments give evidence for a narrow baryon resonance decaying to K+n and K0Sp, interpreted as a pentaquark. The results presented here support the existence of such state, with a mass of 1521.5±1.5(stat.)+2.8-1.7(syst.) MeV and a Gaussian width consistent with the experimental resolution of 2 MeV. The signal is visible at high Q2 and, for Q2>20 GeV2, contains 221±48 events. The probability of a similar signal anywhere in the range 1500–1560 MeV arising from fluctuations of the background is below 6×10-5.

Two data sets, e+p→e+X and e-p→e-X, with respective integrated luminosities of 112 pb-1 and 16 pb-1, were analyzed. The data reach Q2 values as high as 40 000 GeV2. No significant deviations from Standard Model predictions were observed. Limits were derived on the effective mass scale in eeqq contact interactions, the ratio of leptoquark mass to the Yukawa coupling for heavy leptoquark models and the mass scale parameter in models with large extra dimensions. The limit on the quark charge radius, in the classical form factor approximation, is 0.85×10-16 cm.

SN - 10637788 AB - We estimate BR(K→πv&vline;) in the context of the Standard Model by fitting for δt≡VtdVts∗ of the “kaon unitarity triangle” relation. To find the vertex of this triangle, we fit data from ¦εK¦, the CP-violating parameter describing K mixing, and aψK, the CP-violating asymmetry in Bd0→J/ψK0 decays, and obtain the values BR(K+→π+v&vline;)¦SM = (7.07 ± 1.03) × 10-11 and BR(KL0)¦SM = (2.60 ± 0.52) × 10–11. Our estimate is independent of the CKM matrix element Vcb and of the ratio of B-mixing frequencies ΔmBs/ΔmBd. We also use the constraint estimation of δt with additional data from ΔmBd and ¦Vub¦. This combined analysis slightly increases the precision of the rate estimation of K+→π+v&vline; and KL0→π0v&vline;(by≈10 and ≈20%, respectively).The measured value of BR(K+→π+v&vline;) can be compared both to this estimate and to predictions made from ΔmBs/ΔmBd.

The bound part is calculated using analytic basis functions whose parameters are chosen to minimize the energy and pressure. Poisson’s equation is solved for the modified density. The shock Hugoniot is calculated for aluminum. Shell effects characteristic of quantum self-consistent field (QSCF) models are fully captured by the present theory. The use of a quantum decription of the bound density removes the physically spurious singularity at the origin which is present in TFD theory. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 11 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3483 EP - 3490 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - A simple model is presented to calculate the fusion yield from the fast heating of compressed deuterium–tritium (DT). The model is applicable when the fusion yield is small enough to neglect self-heating. Since 80% of the fusion yield escapes as 14 MeV neutrons, self-heating is small as long as the fusion yield is less than the deposited energy, i.e., the fusion gain, Q≤1. We show the model is in good agreement with detailed numerical simulations when this condition is satisfied, as will be the case for fast ignition experiments in the near future. The model is used to calculate the fast heating fusion yields as a function of the important parameters such as the fuel density, deposited energy, and pulse length. The model is also used to obtain the minimum energy, Eq1, and the fuel diameter, d, necessary to obtain Q=1, which is given approximately by the scaling laws Eq1=15.3(ρ/100)-1.5 kJ, and d=16.5(ρ/100)-0.84 μm, where ρ is the DT density. These scaling laws should help the design of Q=1 experiments. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 11 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3631 EP - 3645 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - In ongoing experiments performed on the OMEGA laser [J. M. Soures et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 2108 (1996)] at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics, nanosecond laser pulses are used to drive strong blast waves into two-layer targets. Perturbations on the interface between the two materials are unstable to the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability as a result of shock transit and the Rayleigh–Taylor instability during the deceleration-phase behind the shock front. These experiments are designed to produce a strongly shocked interface whose evolution is a scaled version of the unstable hydrogen–helium interface in core-collapse supernovae such as SN 1987A. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an understanding of the effect of hydrodynamic instabilities and the resulting transition to turbulence on supernovae observables that remain as yet unexplained. The authors are, at present, particularly interested in the development of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability through the late nonlinear stage, the transition to turbulence, and the subsequent transport of material within the turbulent region. In this paper, the results of numerical simulations of two-dimensional (2D) single and multimode experiments are presented. These simulations are run using the 2D Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian radiation hydrodynamics code CALE [R. T. Barton, Numerical Astrophysics (Jones and Bartlett, Boston, 1985)]. The simulation results are shown to compare well with experimental radiography. A buoyancy-drag model captures the behavior of the single-mode interface, but gives only partial agreement in the multimode cases. The Richtmyer–Meshkov and target decompression contributions to the perturbation growth are both estimated and shown to be significant. Significant dependence of the simulation results on the material equation of state is demonstrated, and the prospect of continuing the experiments to conclusively demonstrate the transition to turbulence is discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The toroidal mode number has been measured and is typically between 7<n<9. The polarization of the modes, measured using an array of four Mirnov coils, is found to be compressional. The frequency scaling of the modes agrees with the predictions of a numerical two-dimensional code, but the detailed structure of the spectrum is not captured with the simple model. The fast ion distribution function, as calculated with the beam deposition code in TRANSP [R. V. Budny, Nucl. Fusion 34, 1247 (1994)], is shown to be qualitatively consistent with the constraints of the Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance drive model. This model also predicts the observed scaling of the low frequency limit for CAE. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

SN - 1063780X AB - A relativistic runaway electron avalanche in air is simulated numerically by the Monte Carlo method with allowance for a large number of elementary processes involving electrons, positrons, and photons. The characteristic time scale of the avalanche amplification is calculated as a function of the overvoltage δ relative to the minimum value of the drag force between the electrons and the atomic particles of the medium. The dynamics of the formation of the electron energy distribution is investigated. The steady-state mean electron energy depends weakly on δ. Over a wide range of δ values, there exists a universal electron energy distribution, which is essentially independent of δ. The angular distributions of electrons integrated over energies, as well as the angular distributions for different energy groups, are calculated. Analytic approximations for the energy and angular distributions are obtained. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

We analyzed one hundred nineteen 1-cm-thick samples for pollen and algae from a set of cores that span the past 7630 years. The early middle Holocene, 7600 to 6300 cal yr B.P., was found to be the driest period, although it included one short but intense wet phase. We suggest that Lake Tahoe was below its rim for most of this period, greatly reducing the volume and depth of Pyramid Lake. Middle Holocene aridity eased between 5000 and 3500 cal yr B.P. and climate became variable with distinct wet and dry phases. Lake Tahoe probably spilled intermittently during this time. No core was recovered that represented the period between 3500 and 2600 cal yr B.P. The past 2500 years appear to have had recurrent persistent droughts. The timing and magnitude of droughts identified in the pollen record compares favorably with previously published δ18O data from Pyramid Lake. The timing of these droughts also agrees with the ages of submerged rooted stumps in the Eastern Sierra Nevada and woodrat midden data from central Nevada. Prolonged drought episodes appear to correspond with the timing of ice drift minima (solar maxima) identified from North Atlantic marine sediments, suggesting that changes in solar irradiance may be a possible mechanism influencing century-scale drought in the western Great Basin.

Terawatt laser systems have succeeded in relativistically accelerating subpicosecond electron bunches to energies greater than 5 MeV. The electron pulses generated this way are suitable for pulse radiolysis.

MIT is exploring the construction of such a facility at its Bates Laboratory site, 20 miles north of Cambridge. The science that is foreseen spans many disciplines including atomic and fundamental physics, condensed matter physics and materials sciences, femtochemistry, structural biology, and various fields of engineering. The source we propose, and the experimental methods it will spawn, will generally be qualitatively new and have high impact in many fields of science and technology. The strength of the science and technology base in the northeast region, and in particular at MIT, make this a superb location for such a national user facility.

Successful efforts over the years towards higher spatial, temporal, momentum, and energy resolution, as well as use of X-ray polarization and partial coherence in the transverse direction are continuing to produce forefront science at the advanced photon source. These advances have resulted from continued enhancement in the average brightness of X-ray beams, control of polarization, X-ray pulse delivery pattern, constant intensity operation, and matching X-ray optical schemes. The success will be illustrated through selected examples. The ascending scientific success of the advanced photon source will continue through the development of superior real-time and real-space techniques to study spin and charge dynamics and through further enhancement of average brightness, which will increase the feasibility of many energy- and momentum-resolution experiments that are currently marginal. Before the turn of the decade, we expect the merger of the techniques in the synchrotron radiation field and laser field to result in X-ray free-electron lasers, which will provide fully coherent beams of X-rays with unprecedented peak brightness and femtosecond resolution. It is the intent of this overview to set the stage for more detailed discussions consistent with the objective of the workshop.

SN - 10663622 AB - Radiation resistance of titanate ceramics of a complex cationic composition with the pyrochlore structure, containing U, Pu, Ca, Gd, and Hf, is studied from the standpoint of its use for immobilization of excess weapons-grade plutonium. To induce radiation damage of the host matrix, isomorphic incorporation of 238Pu (t1/2 = 87.7 years) at the ceramics preparation stage was used. Radiation-induced structural transformations in the ceramics were monitored by X-ray diffraction up to the radiation doses providing full amorphization of the structure. The critical damaging (amorphization) dose for the ceramics studied is estimated to be about 120 ×1023 α-events m-3. Taking into account the planned concentration of incorporated 239Pu in the ceramics at a level of 10 wt %, the lower limit of amorphization time of the actual ceramics under conditions of a waste disposal site is estimated to be about 360 years.

Data are obtained for both as-prepared ceramics and that transferred into the metamict state under the action of self-irradiation due to the presence of 238Pu (accumulated dose ∼160 ×1023 α-events m-3). As-prepared ceramics demonstrate high chemical resistance (low leaching of environmentally significant U and Pu radionuclides). Metamictization results in increasing normalized weight loss (modified MCC-1 test at 90°C in distilled water) in a three-day leaching experiment: by about two orders of magnitude with respect to U and by over two orders, to Pu. The features of hydrolytic behavior of the complex ceramics studied are discussed.

Aleatory uncertainty is also referred to in the literature as variability, irreducible uncertainty, inherent uncertainty, and stochastic uncertainty. Epistemic uncertainty is also termed reducible uncertainty, subjective uncertainty, and state-of-knowledge uncertainty. Methods to efficiently represent, aggregate, and propagate different types of uncertainty through computational models are clearly of vital importance. The most widely known and developed methods are available within the mathematics of probability theory, whether frequentist or subjectivist. Newer mathematical approaches, which extend or otherwise depart from probability theory, are also available, and are sometimes referred to as generalized information theory (GIT). For example, possibility theory, fuzzy set theory, and evidence theory are three components of GIT. To try to develop a better understanding of the relative advantages and disadvantages of traditional and newer methods and encourage a dialog between the risk assessment, reliability engineering, and GIT communities, a workshop was held. To focus discussion and debate at the workshop, a set of prototype problems, generally referred to as challenge problems, was constructed. The challenge problems concentrate on the representation, aggregation, and propagation of epistemic uncertainty and mixtures of epistemic and aleatory uncertainty through two simple model systems. This paper describes the challenge problems and gives numerical values for the different input parameters so that results from different investigators can be directly compared.

Each of the test problems has rather diffuse characterizations of the uncertainty in model inputs obtained from one or more equally credible sources. These given uncertainty characterizations are translated into the mathematical structure associated with each of the indicated approaches to the representation of uncertainty and then propagated through the model with Monte Carlo techniques to obtain the corresponding representation of the uncertainty in one or more model predictions. The different approaches to the representation of uncertainty can lead to very different appearing representations of the uncertainty in model predictions even though the starting information is exactly the same for each approach. To avoid misunderstandings and, potentially, bad decisions, these representations must be interpreted in the context of the theory/procedure from which they derive.

For example, a system model may depend upon the time to failure of a piece of equipment for which no failures have actually been observed. The analysts in this case are faced with the task of developing a failure model for the equipment in question, having very limited knowledge about either the correct form of the failure distribution or the statistical parameters that characterize the distribution. They may assume that the process conforms to a Weibull or log-normal distribution or that it can be characterized by a particular mean or variance, but those assumptions impart more knowledge to the analysis than is actually available. To address this challenge, we propose a method where random variables comprising equivalence classes constrained by the available information are approximated using polynomial chaos expansions (PCEs). The PCE approximations are based on rigorous mathematical concepts developed from functional analysis and measure theory. The method has been codified in a computational tool, AVOCET, and has been applied successfully to example problems. Results indicate that it should be applicable to a broad range of engineering problems that are characterized by both irreducible andreducible uncertainty.

We augment the standard computer arithmetic operations and the interval arithmetic approach to include probability distribution variable (PDV) as a basic data type. Probability distribution variable is a random variable that is usually characterized by generalized probabilistic discretization. The correlations or dependencies between PDVs that arise in a computation are automatically calculated and tracked. These correlations are used by the computer arithmetic rules to achieve the convergent approximation of the probability distribution function of a PDV and to guarantee that the derived bounds include the true solution. In many calculations, the calculated uncertainty bounds for PDVs are much tighter than they would have been had the dependencies been ignored. We describe the new PDV Arithmetic and verify the effectiveness of the approach to account for the creation and propagation of uncertainties in a computer program due to uncertainties in the initial data.

One research challenge that has accompanied this transition involves the characterization of uncertainty in both computer model inputs and the resulting system response. This article addresses a subset of the ‘challenge problems’ posed in [Challenge problems: uncertainty in system response given uncertain parameters, 2001] where uncertainty or information is specified over intervals of the input parameters and inferences based on the response are required. The emphasis of the article is to describe and illustrate a method for performing tasks associated with this type of modeling ‘economically’-requiring relatively few evaluations of the system to get a precise estimate of the response. This ‘response-modeling approach’ is used to approximate a probability distribution for the system response. The distribution is then used: (1) to make inferences concerning probabilities associated with response intervals and (2) to guide in determining further, informative, system evaluations to perform.

These problems also present the opportunity to discuss the use of expert knowledge as an important constituent of uncertainty quantification. More specifically, how do the principles and methods of eliciting and analyzing expert knowledge apply to these problems and similar ones encountered in complex technical problem solving and decision making? We will address this question, demonstrating how the elicitation issues and the knowledge that experts provide can be used to assess the uncertainty in outputs that emerge from a black box model or computational code represented by the challenge problems. In our experience, the rich collection of GITs provides an opportunity to capture the experts'' knowledge and associated uncertainties consistent with their thinking, problem solving, and problem representation. The elicitation process is rightly treated as part of an overall analytical approach, and the information elicited is not simply a source of data. In this paper, we detail how the elicitation process itself impacts the analyst''s ability to represent, aggregate, and propagate uncertainty, as well as how to interpret uncertainties in outputs. While this approach does not advocate a specific GIT, answers under uncertainty do result from the elicitation.

The workshop was organized around a set of Challenge Problems involving both epistemic and aleatory uncertainty that the workshop participants were invited to solve and discuss. This concluding article in a special issue of Reliability Engineering and System Safety based on the workshop discusses the intent of the Challenge Problems, summarizes some discussions from the workshop, and provides a technical comparison among the papers in this special issue. The Challenge Problems were computationally simple models that were intended as vehicles for the illustration and comparison of conceptual and numerical techniques for use in analyses that involve: (i) epistemic uncertainty, (ii) aggregation of multiple characterizations of epistemic uncertainty, (iii) combination of epistemic and aleatory uncertainty, and (iv) models with repeated parameters. There was considerable diversity of opinion at the workshop about both methods and fundamental issues, and yet substantial consensus about what the answers to the problems were, and even about how each of the four issues should be addressed. Among the technical approaches advanced were probability theory, Dempster–Shafer evidence theory, random sets, sets of probability measures, imprecise coherent probabilities, coherent lower previsions, probability boxes, possibility theory, fuzzy sets, joint distribution tableaux, polynomial chaos expansions, and info-gap models. Although some participants maintained that a purely probabilistic approach is fully capable of accounting for all forms of uncertainty, most agreed that the treatment of epistemic uncertainty introduces important considerations and that the issues underlying the Challenge Problems are legitimate and significant. Topics identified as meriting additional research include elicitation of uncertainty representations, aggregation of multiple uncertainty representations, dependence and independence, model uncertainty, solution of black-box problems, efficient sampling strategies for computation, and communication of analysis results.

As a result an innovative family of chemical and biological sensors has emerged. In this article, we discuss sensors with transducers in a form of cantilevers. While MEMS represents a diverse family of designs, devices with simple cantilever configurations are especially attractive as transducers for chemical and biological sensors. The review deals with four important aspects of cantilever transducers: (i) operation principles and models; (ii) microfabrication; (iii) figures of merit; and (iv) applications of cantilever sensors. We also provide a brief analysis of historical predecessors of the modern cantilever sensors.

The formulation is based on a spectral representation of uncertainty using the polynomial chaos (PC) system, and on a Galerkin approach to determining the PC coefficients. Governing equations for the stochastic modes are solved using a mass-conservative projection method. The formulation incorporates a specially tailored stochastic inverse procedure for exactly satisfying the mass-conservation divergence constraints. A brief validation of the zero-Mach-number solver is first performed, based on simulations of natural convection in a closed cavity. The SPM is then applied to analyze the steady-state behavior of the heat transfer and of the velocity and temperature fields under stochastic non-Boussinesq conditions.

Typically, the computer simulation code models a physical system and requires a set of inputs-some known and specified, others unknown. A limited amount of field data from the true physical system is available to inform us about the unknown inputs and also to inform us about the uncertainty that is associated with a simulation- based prediction. The approach given here allows for the following: • uncertainty regarding model inputs (i.e., calibration); • accounting for uncertainty due to limitations on the number of simulations that can be carried out; • discrepancy between the simulation code and the actual physical system; • uncertainty in the observation process that yields the actual field data on the true physical system. The resulting analysis yields predictions and their associated uncertainties while accounting for multiple sources of uncertainty. We use a Bayesian formulation and rely on Gaussian process models to model unknown functions of the model inputs. The estimation is carried out using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. This methodology is applied to two examples: a charged particle accelerator and a spot welding process.

JO - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing JF - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 558 EP - 577 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 10648275 AB - Geological formations are ubiquitously heterogeneous, and the equations that govern flow and transport in such formations can be treated as stochastic partial differential equations. The Monte Carlo method is a straightforward approach for simulating flow in heterogeneous porous media; an alternative based on the moment-equation approach has been developed in the last two decades to reduce the high computational expense required by the Monte Carlo method. However, the computational cost of the moment-equation approach is still high. For example, to solve head covariance up to first order in terms of ∼Y², the variance of log hydraulic conductivity Y ln Ks, it is required to solve sets of linear algebraic equations with N unknowns for 2N times (N being the number of grid nodes). The cost is even higher if higher-order approximations are needed. Zhang and Lu [J. Comput. Phys., 194 (2004), pp. 773-794] developed a new approach to evaluate high-order moments (fourth order for mean head in terms of ∼y, and third order for head variances in terms of ∼Y² of flow quantities based on the combination of Karhunen-Loève decomposition and perturbation methods. In this study, we systematically investigate the computational efficiency and solution accuracy of three approaches: Monte Carlo simulations, the conventional moment-equation (CME) approach, and the moment-equation approach based on Karhunen-Loève decomposition (KLME). It is evident that the computational cost for the KLME approach is significantly lower than those required by the Monte Carlo and CME approaches. More importantly, while the computational costs (in terms of the number of times for solving linear algebraic equations with N unknowns) for the CME approach depend on the number of grid nodes, the cost for the KLME approach is independent of the number of grid nodes. This makes it possible to apply the KLME method to solve more realistic large-scale flow problems.

Rather than replacing a heterogeneous property with a constant effective parameter, we seek to preserve the internal macro structure of a composite. This general concept is used to derive the effective conductivity of composite heterogeneous media that consist of two materials whose internal geometries and conductivities are uncertain. Our analysis relies on a random domain decomposition to explicitly account for the separate effects of material and geometric uncertainties on the ensemble moments of pressure and flux. We present a general expression for the effective (apparent) conductivity of such media and analyze it in detail for one- and two-dimensional steady flows in bounded random media composed of two materials with highly contrasting conductivities.

Within this framework, we provide the first formal proof of uncertainty reduction in system parameters and responses, which is achieved by consistently combining model-predicted responses and their associated uncertainties with experimental (e.g., sensor-based) information. MODTRAN-a very large, complex code that models optical radiation transport in the atmosphere-provides an excellent example to illustrate the approach. The sensitivities needed to propagate uncertainties from inputs and parameters to outputs through the complex chain of modules are calculated by automated differentiation.

The purpose of this paper is to formulate and validate a composition law to estimate errors in the solutions of composite problems in terms of the errors from simpler ones. We illustrate this idea in a simple context. This paper employs several simplifying assumptions (restriction to one spatial dimension, use of a simplified (gamma law) equation of state, and consideration of a single numerical method). In separate papers we will address the effect of these assumptions.

JO - Solvent Extraction & Ion Exchange JF - Solvent Extraction & Ion Exchange Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 22 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 611 EP - 635 SN - 07366299 AB - The new cesium-selective macrocycle calix[4]arene-bis[4-(2-ethylhexyl) benzo-crown-6] (“BEHBCalixC6”) has been found to have improved solubility in a modified alkane diluent over calix[4]arene-bis(4-tert-octylbenzo-crown-6) (“BOBCalixC6”). The synthesis of this new calixcrown extractant, together with its solubility and extraction properties, is described in this report. The solubility, cesium extraction, and potassium loading behavior are compared with those of BOBCalixC6, the macrocycle currently employed in the caustic-side solvent extraction (CSSX) process for extracting cesium from alkaline nitrate solutions such as high-level nuclear waste. Replacement of the tert-octyl alkyl chains on the benzo-crown portion of the calixcrown by 2-ethylhexyl chains improves the equilibrium solubility of the free calixcrown in aliphatic diluents while not affecting the cesium extraction strength. Equilibrium concentrations of BEHBCalixC6 in Isopar L diluent modified with 0.5 M 1-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)-3-(4-sec-butylphenoxy)-2-propanol (Cs-7SB) over the course of 41 weeks of gentle agitation at 25°C maintained the initial concentration of 57 ± 2 mM, with no evidence of precipitation or third-phase formation. In contrast, 57 ± 2 mM solutions of BOBCalixC6 prepared using sonication were not stable, with precipitation occurring to afford an equilibrium concentration of only 6.7 ± 0.2 mM after 41 weeks. Third-phase tests showed that BEHBCalixC6 resists third-phase formation as well as, or better than, BOBCalixC6. With increasing potassium loading from an alkaline sodium nitrate solution, both calixcrowns at 20 mM in modified Isopar L exhibited comparable onset of third-phase formation, gauging by the decreasing mass balance in cesium extraction from the same solutions. However, the BEHBCalixC6 solvent exhibited no visible indications of third-phase formation until the aqueous potassium concentration reached 0.75 M, whereas the BOBCalixC6 suffered visible third-phase formation when the aqueous potassium nitrate concentration reached 0.25 M. Calixcrowns with higher solubility in alkane diluents may find application in cesium extraction from waste matrices containing moderate (≥0.2 M) quantities of potassium, such as that stored at the US Department of Energy's Hanford Site, where higher concentrations of the calixcrown extractant may be required to obtain practical cesium distribution coefficients for process flowsheets.

The four amine-derivatized calixarenes were surveyed in nitrobenzene diluent at 25°C, demonstrating the effect under controlled conditions, where it was seen that the amino functionalization entailed at most a mild sacrifice of cesium extraction strength or selectivity. Limited solubility of the protonated forms of the extractants appears to be a potential issue for future development, however. In the best case, calix[4]arene bis[4-(2-ethylhexyl)benzo-crown-6], possessing an aminomethyl group on the upper rim, (AMBEHB) exhibited a cesium extraction strength comparable to that of a control system containing calix[4]arene bis(tert-octylbenzo-crown-6) (BOB) under alkaline conditions, whereas stripping of the cesium from AMBEHB was 56-fold more effective than BOB. A proof-of-principle extraction, scrubbing, and stripping (ESS) cycle using AMBEHB in Isopar L modified with 0.75 M 1-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)-3-(4-sec-butylphenoxy)-2-propanol (Cs-7SB) showed that a greater than three-fold more efficient stripping may be obtained with AMBEHB vs. its nonfunctionalized control BEHB. A slope analysis of systematic extraction data under caustic and acidic conditions confirmed that the extraction of cesium nitrate by AMBEHB in dodecane modified by 0.5 M Cs-7SB involves the formation of a 1:1:1 metal:ligand:nitrate organic species.

In the case of cerium, its ability to exist in two different oxidation states or in mixed valence state provides additional complexities for the sol–gel process. The oxidation state of cerium present during different facets of preparation of sol–gel glasses, and also as a function of the starting oxidation state of cerium added, were studied both by optical spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge structures (XANES). The findings acquired by each approach were compared. The primary focus was on the redox chemistries associated with sample preparation, gelation, and thermal treatment. When Ce3+ is introduced into the starting sols, the trivalent state normally prevails in the wet and room temperature-dried gels. Heating in air at >100 °C can generate a light yellow coloration with partial oxidation to the tetravalent state. Above 200 °C and up to ∼1000 °C, cerium is oxidized to its tetravalent state. In contrast, when tetravalent cerium is introduced into the sol, both the wet and room temperature-dried gels lose the yellow–brown color of the initial ceric ammonium nitrate solution. When the sol–gel is heated to 110 °C it turns yellowish as the cerium tends to be re-oxidized. The yellow color is believed to represent the effect of oxidation and oligomerization of the cerium–silanol units in the matrix. The luminescence properties are also affected by these changes, the details of which are reported herein.

Sorting and attachment of these proteins is directed by C-terminal signals. Sortase B of S. aureus recognizes a motif NPQTN, cleaves the polypeptide after the Thr residue, and attaches the protein to pentaglycine cross-bridges. Sortase B of B. anthracis is thought to recognize the NPKTG motif, and attaches surface proteins to m-diaminopimelic acid cross-bridges. We have determined crystal structure of sortase B from B. anthracis and S. aureus at 1.6 and 2.0 Å resolutions, respectively. These structures show a β-barrel fold with α-helical elements on its outside, a structure thus far exclusive to the sortase family. A putative active site located on the edge of the β-barrel is comprised of a Cys-His-Asp catalytic triad and presumably faces the bacterial cell surface. A putative binding site for the sorting signal is located nearby.

T1 - Interactions in the tumor-promoting activity of carbon tetrachloride, trichloroacetate, and dichloroacetate in the liver of male B6C3F1 mice JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 199 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 169 EP - 183 SN - 0300483X AB - Interactions between carcinogens in mixtures found in the environment have been a concern for several decades. In the present study, male B6C3F1 mice were used to study the responses to mixtures of dichloroacetate (DCA), trichloroacetate (TCA), and carbon tetrachloride (CT). TCA produces liver tumors in mice with the phenotypic characteristics common to peroxisome proliferators. DCA increases the growth of liver tumors with a phenotype that is distinct in several respects from those produced by TCA. These chemicals are effective as carcinogens at doses that do not produce cytotoxicity. Thus, they encourage clonal expansion of initiated cells through subtle, selective mechanisms. CT is well known for its ability to promote the growth of liver tumors through cytotoxicity that produces a generalized growth stimulus in the liver that is reflected in a reparative hyperplasia. Thus, CT is relatively non-specific in its promotion of initiated cells within the liver. The objective of this study was to determine how the differing modes of action of these chemicals might interact when given as mixed exposures. The hypothesis was that the effects of two selective promoters would not be more than additive. On the other hand, CT would be selective only to cells not sensitive to its effects as a cytotoxin. Thus, it was hypothesized that neither DCA nor TCA would add significantly to the effects produced by CT. Mice were initiated by vinyl carbamate (VC), and then promoted by DCA, TCA, CT, or the pair-wised combinations of the three compounds. The effect of each treatment or treatment combination on tumor number per animal and mean tumor volume was assessed in each animal. Dose-related increases in mean tumor volume were observed with 20 and 50 mg/kg CT, but each produced equal numbers of tumors at 36 weeks. As the dose of CT was increased to ≥100 mg/kg substantial increases in the number of tumors per animal were observed, but the mean tumor size decreased. This finding suggests that initiation occurs as doses of CT increase to ≥100 mg/kg, perhaps as a result of the inflammatory response that is known to occur with high doses of CT. When administered alone in the drinking water at 0.1, 0.5 and 2 g/l, DCA increased both tumor number and tumor size in a dose-related manner. With TCA treatment at 2 g/l in drinking water a maximum tumor number was reached by 24 weeks and was maintained until 36 weeks of treatment. DCA treatment did not produce a plateau in tumor number within the experimental period, but the numbers observed at the end of the experimental period were similar to TCA and doses of 50 mg/kg CT. The tumor numbers observed at the end of the experiment are consistent with the assumption that the administered dose of the tumor initiator, vinyl carbamate, was the major determinant of tumor number and that treatments with CT, DCA, and TCA primarily affected tumor size. The results with mixtures of these compounds were consistent with the basic hypotheses that the responses to tumor promoters with differing mechanisms are limited to additivity at low effective doses. More complex, mutually inhibitory activity was more often observed between the three compounds. At 24 weeks, DCA produced a decrease in tumor numbers promoted by TCA, but the numbers were not different from TCA alone at 36 weeks. The reason for this result became apparent at 36 weeks of treatment where a dose-related decrease in the size of tumors promoted by TCA resulted from DCA co-administration. On the other hand, the low dose of TCA (0.1 g/l) decreased the number of tumors produced by a high dose of DCA (2 g/l), but higher doses of TCA (2 g/l) produced the same number as observed with DCA alone. DCA inhibited the growth rate of CT-induced tumors (CT dose=50 mg/kg). TCA substantially increased the numbers of tumors observed at early time points when combined with CT, but this was not observed at 36 weeks. The lack of an effect at 36 weeks was attributable to the fact that more than 90% of the livers consisted of tumors and the earlier effect was masked by coalescence of tumors. Thus, the ability of TCA to significantly increase tumor numbers in CT-treated mice was probably real and contrary to our original hypothesis that CT was non-specific in its effects on initiated cells. It is probable that the interaction between CT and TCA is explained through stimulation of the growth of cells with differing phenotypes. These data suggest that the outcome of interactions between the mechanisms of tumor promotion vary based on the characteristics of the initiated cells. The interactions may result in additive or inhibitory effects, but no significant evidence of synergy was observed.

This flexibility can be exploited for numerous tribological applications, ranging in sizes from nano-scale electromechanical systems to meso-scale engine parts and components. Recently, carbon was used in our laboratory to produce nearly frictionless carbon (NFC) films having friction coefficients as low as 0.001 and wear rates of 10-11–10-10 mm3/N m even under dry sliding conditions and at very high contact pressures. Using advanced fabrication and chemical vapor deposition methods, our research team has pioneered the development of other unique microstructures possessing exceptional physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, and tribological properties. The combination of such exceptional properties in one material is rather rare, but urgently needed by the industry to meet the increasingly multifunctional needs of advanced mechanical systems and devices. This paper provides an overview of recent progress in the study and understanding of the tribological properties of carbon-based coatings. The design and surface engineering aspects of such coatings are discussed and the principles of superlubricity in these films are presented. Examples of current and future applications for two- and three-dimensional carbon-based structures are also provided.

A series of Ti/Nb multilayer films were sputtered deposited on n-doped Si [0 0 1] substrates with either 5 or 0.05 Ω cm resistivity. Each wafer was pre-fabricated into a series of 5 μm×5 μm× ≈80 μm island posts by photolithography and reactive ion etching. Once the film was grown on the wafer, a Si post was mounted to either a tungsten or stainless steel fine tip needle that was mechanically crimped to a Cu tube for handling. The specimen was then loaded into a Focus Ion Beam instrument where a sacrificial Pt cap was in situ deposited onto the surface of the film and subsequently annularly ion milled into the appropriate geometry. The Pt cap was found to be an effective method in reducing Ga ion damage and implantation into the film during milling. The multilayers deposited on the high resistivity Si exhibited uncontrolled field evaporation which lead to high mass tails in the mass spectra, a reduction in the mass resolution, high background noise, propensity for “flash-failure”, and a variation in the apparent layer thickness as the experiment elapsed in time. The multilayers deposited on lower resistivity Si did not suffer from these artifacts.

When all chemical species in a specimen are known and separately characterized, existing approaches can be used to measure the concentration of each component at each pixel. In other cases (such as often occur in biology or environmental science), some spectral signatures may not be known in advance so other approaches must be used. We describe here an approach that uses principal component analysis to orthogonalize and noise-filter spectromicroscopy data. We then use cluster analysis (a form of unsupervised pattern matching) to classify pixels according to spectral similarity, to extract representative, cluster-averaged spectra with good signal-to-noise ratio, and to obtain gradations of concentration of these representative spectra at each pixel. The method is illustrated with a simulated data set of organic compounds, and a mixture of lutetium in hematite used to understand colloidal transport properties of radionuclides.

The mechanical-resonance frequencies of a piezoelectric solid depend on all of the elastic and piezoelectric coefficients, and their accurate measurement allows one to determine the elastic and piezoelectric coefficients simultaneously. Resonance-peak-width measurements yield the internal-friction tensor. Successful determination requires correct vibration-mode identification for the observed resonance frequencies. This is achieved unambiguously by measuring deformation distributions on the vibrating-specimen surface with laser-Doppler interferometry and comparing them with calculated displacement distributions. The methodology is applied to lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) crystals.

The grating surface is in contact with the liquid or slurry. The ultrasonic beam, traveling in the solid, strikes the back of the grating and produces a transmitted m=1 beam in the liquid. The angle of this beam in the liquid increases with decreasing frequency and the critical frequency FCR occurs when the angle is 90°. At frequencies below FCR, this m=1 wave does not exist and its energy is shared with other types of waves. The signal of the reflected m=0 wave is observed and an increase is observed at FCR. This information yields the velocity of sound in the liquid and particle size.

T1 - Aeroelastic stability predictions for a MW-sized blade. JO - Wind Energy JF - Wind Energy Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 7 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 211 EP - 224 SN - 10954244 AB - Classical aeroelastic flutter instability historically has not been a driving issue in wind turbine design. In fact, rarely has this issue even been addressed in the past. Commensurately, among the wind turbines that have been built, rarely has classical flutter ever been observed. However, with the advent of larger turbines fitted with relatively softer blades, classical flutter may become a more important design consideration. In addition, innovative blade designs involving the use of aeroelastic tailoring, wherein the blade twists as it bends under the action of aerodynamic loads to shed load resulting from wind turbulence, may increase the blade's proclivity for flutter. With these considerations in mind it is prudent to revisit aeroelastic stability issues for a MW-sized blade with and without aeroelastic tailoring. Focusing on aeroelastic stability associated with the shed wake from an individual blade turning in still air, the frequency domain technique developed by Theodorsen for predicting classical flutter in fixed wing aircraft has been adapted for use with a rotor blade. Results indicate that the predicted flutter speed of a MW-sized blade is slightly greater than twice the operational speed of the rotor. When a moderate amount of aeroelastic tailoring is added to the blade, a modest decrease (12%) in the flutter speed is predicted. By comparison, for a smaller rotor with relatively stiff blades the predicted flutter speed is approximately six times the operating speed. When frequently used approximations to Theodorsen's method are implemented, drastic underpredictions result, which, while conservative, may adversely impact blade design. These underpredictions are also evident when this MW-sized blade is analysed using time domain methods. Published in 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Blade element data were analysed from the five radial stations of the baseline 5·03 m radius rotor. A lifting surface/prescribed wake performance prediction method was used to determine a reference angle of attack that corresponds to the measured blade element data. Using the measured normal and tangential force coefficients and estimated angle of attack, spanwise distributions of lift and drag performance characteristics were derived along with the circulation distributions. Guidelines for a new stall and post-stall model based on the measured trends in the aerofoil performance characteristics, along with flat plate theory, are proposed for predicting the peak and post-peak power.

Exact rates for the decay of the initial discontinuities are found to be in agreement with recent results from other approaches.

SN - 0364152X AB - Multivariate clustering based on fine spatial resolution maps of elevation, temperature, precipitation, soil characteristics, and solar inputs has been used at several specified levels of division to produce a spectrum of quantitative ecoregion maps for the conterminous United States. The coarse ecoregion divisions accurately capture intuitively-understood regional environmental differences, whereas the finer divisions highlight local condition gradients, ecotones, and clines. Such statistically generated ecoregions can be produced based on user-selected continuous variables, allowing customized regions to be delineated for any specific problem. By creating an objective ecoregion classification, the ecoregion concept is removed from the limitations of human subjectivity, making possible a new array of ecologically useful derivative products. A red–green–blue visualization based on principal components analysis of ecoregion centroids indicates with color the relative combination of environmental conditions found within each ecoregion. Multiple geographic areas can be classified into a single common set of quantitative ecoregions to provide a basis for comparison, or maps of a single area through time can be classified to portray climatic or environmental changes geographically in terms of current conditions. Quantified representativeness can characterize borders between ecoregions as gradual, sharp, or of changing character along their length. Similarity of any ecoregion to all other ecoregions can be quantified and displayed as a “representativeness” map. The representativeness of an existing spatial array of sample locations or study sites can be mapped relative to a set of quantitative ecoregions, suggesting locations for additional samples or sites. In addition, the shape of Hutchinsonian niches in environment space can be defined if a multivariate range map of species occurrence is available.

Theoretically, the execution time for such a calculation should grow only linearly with the number of spins, and this is confirmed here for up to order 105 spins. In addition, the implementation efficiently uses a large number of processors. For a test case of 64000 dipoles, the measured speedup is over 25 for 40 processors on a four-processor-per-node IBM SP; this compares quite favorably with less-flexible FMM implementations. The generic implementation allows for easy changes of the basis functions used to expand potentials specific to particular applications, facilitating direct comparison of different approaches. Here, the traditional spherical-harmonic expansions are compared to Cartesian expansions which reflect the cubic symmetries of meshes used in typical micromagnetic simulations.

The formalism relies on a Fourier space description of the particle shape, through the so-called shape amplitude, which can be used to obtain explicit expressions for the demagnetization tensor field, magnetic field, magnetic induction and magnetostatic energy of a particle for a given magnetization state. Moreover, the interaction energy between particles, located at arbitrary positions in space, which may have different shapes and magnetization states can also be computed. These results may contribute to a deeper understanding of magnetostatic coupling in nanostructures and of the role of shape anisotropy.

The uniaxial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant (Ku) and the activation volume (V*) are obtained by fitting the remanent coercivity as a function of the applied field waiting lime using the Sharrock's formula for oriented magnetic grain assembly. Ku increases with annealing temperature and annealing time, as a result of the enhanced chemical ordering in L10 phase FePt grains. V* tends to decrease with annealing time revealing the FePt grain separation process by the MgO matrix with annealing.

The FePt forms a high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, high coercivity ferromagnetic layer. The FeRh layer is antiferromagnetic at room temperature, but upon heating above a transition temperature becomes ferromagnetic with a large magnetic moment and low magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The coupled ferromagnetic FePt and FeRh layers form an exchange-spring system significantly lowering the coercive field of the composite system compared to a single layer of FePt. This feature opens intriguing possibilities for media applications for thermally assisted magnetic recording where the ferromagnetic phase of FeRh is exploited to help write the media while the low-temperature antiferromagnetic phase supports the long-term stability. Here temperature-dependent structural and magnetic measurements of undoped and doped FeRh single layer and FePt-FeRh bilayer films are presented and the promises and challenges of the exchange spring media structure are discussed.

An exchange bias is observed in hysteresis loops of both ferrite coatings and single splats; the exchange bias decreases and disappears with annealing. X-ray diffraction indicates that the wustite FeO changes to hematite Fe2 O3 upon annealing. Annealing -induced cation ordering and diffusion influence the ferrite magnetic properties by increasing the saturation magnetization and decreasing the coercivity.

All the Nd2.4 Pr5.6 Dy1 Fe85 B6 alloys annealed for 30 s at 565 °C or above contain nanostructured α-Fe and Nd2Fe14B-type (2:14:1) phases, whereas Nd2 .4 Pr5 .6 Dy1 Fe78 Co6 Mo1 B6 alloys annealed at 600°C or below are mainly composed of α-Fe and a metastable 1:7 phase. A small amount of 2:14:1 phase forms after annealing at 600 °C. When annealed at 640 °C or above, the hard phase in Nd2.4Pr5.6Dy1Fer8Co6Mo1B6 alloys is the 2:14:1 phase rather than the 1:7 phase. The differences in magnetic properties of the Nd2.4 Pr5.6 Dy1 Fe85 B6 and Nd2.4 Pr5.6 Dy1 Fe8 Co6 Mo1 B6 nanocomposites at different anneal temperatures result from the different nanostructures, exchange coupling and phase components present in the alloys, in particular from the different amount of the 1:7 phase.

This is achieved by combining the inherent element specificity of resonance scattering with the symmetry properties of the crystal, which results in enhanced/suppressed scattering amplitudes from certain lattice sites under particular diffraction. conditions. We used this method to measure the magnetic response of inequivalent Nd sites in Nd2 Fe14B single crystal (4f and 4g sites in Wyckoff notation) through the crystal's magnetization reversal at room temperature and through the spin reorientation transition at lower temperatures. This approach might prove very valuable in studies of magnetocrystalllne anisotropy in complex materials with multiple elements and crystal sites.

Threesdimensional atom probe (3DAP) analyses on the Nb substituted alloys clearly reveal that Nb atoms are enriched at grain boundaries with a peak concentration about 4 times higher than the average for Nd2Fe14B rains. A grain boundary region with a chemicil composition near the Nb : Fe: B stolchionietry of 3:3:5 is also measured for the x = 3 alloy. The results provide direct evidence of microstructural refinement due to solute drag of Nb atoms during solidification, resulting in Nb enrichment at grain boundaries and possibly the formation of a Nh-rich. interfacial phase which give rise to enhanced magnetic properties.

As-spun ribbons with low Nd content consist of 2:17 and 2:14:1 phases in an amorphous matrix, while as-spun ribbons with high Nd contain 2:14:1 and Fe phases in the amorphous matrix. After annealing at 700 °C for 15 mm, all of the ribbons exhibit only a single 2:14:1 phase in their X-ray diffraction patterns. Nd substitution can improve the maximum energy product of annealed ribbons but deteriorate the temperature stability of the ribbons. Increasing Nd (x) from 0 to 0.8, decreases coercivity from 22 to 13.5 kOe, but increases the maximum energy product from 5.87 to 11.2 MGOe. The temperature coefficients for remanence and coercivity increase from -0.045 °C to -0.106 %/°C, and -0.306 to -0.38 %/°C, respectively for the same substitution range. Transmission electron microscope microstructures show that the samples with less Nd content exhibit a more uniform distribution of grains. Their average grain size is about 40 nm. The studied results show that the YDy-based R2Fe14B magnets are very promising for high-temperature performance.

Alloys of (Sm(1/(6+x)Co(5+x))94Nb3C3 (x = 0.67, 1.7, 2.3 and 3) alloys modified with Nb and C were melt spun at wheel speeds of 20 and 40 m/s, and the compositions span the range between the Sm2Co17 and SmCo5 stoichiometries. Structurally, all alloys formed in the TbCu7-type structure, although a small amount of Sm2Co7 was observed in Sm-rich samples, and a small amount of fcc Co formed in Co-rich samples. From transmission electron microscopy analysis, grain sizes typically ranged from 100 to 500 nm, and the grains were randomly oriented. The as-spun ribbons had remanence ratios of 0.7 and coercivity values ranging from 3 to 18 kOe. The initial magnetization curves showed a steep linear response to the applied field for all samples, suggesting that nucleation-controlled processes dominate the magnetization process. In addition, the initial susceptibility decreased with increasing Sm content, reflecting the anisotropy differences between SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 compounds. The initial susceptibility also increased with increasing wheel speed, suggesting that the microstructure has important ramifications on the magnetization process as well.

ANP activities are mediated by a single span trans- membrane receptor carrying intrinsic guanylate cyclase activity. ANP binding to its extracellular domain stimulates guanylate cyclase activity by an as yet un- known mechanism. Here we report the crystal structure of dimerized extracellular hormone-binding domain in complex with ANP. The structural comparison with the unliganded receptor reveals that hormone binding causes the two receptor monomers to undergo an intermolecular twist with little intramolecular conformational change. This motion produces a Ferris wheel-like translocation of two juxtamembrane domains in the dimer with essentially no change in the interdomain distance. This movement alters the relative orientation of the two domains by a shift equivalent to counterclockwise rotation of each by 24°. These results suggest that transmembrane signaling by the ANP receptor is initiated via a hormone-induced rotation mechanism.

Studies of the transition have been hampered by a lack of high-quality stoichiometric single crystals. Here we report the growth and basic characterization of large, nearly stoichiometric LiVO2 single crystals. The crystals were characterized by magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, differential scanning calorimetry, and specific heat measurements over a temperature range from 2 to 650 K. A first-order phase transition with large hysteresis near Tt≈500 K was observed in all measurements. An anisotropy of the order of 100 was observed in the in-plane versus out-of-plane resistivity, and the inferred semiconducting energy gap was 0.18 eV for T and 0.14 eV for T. Electron diffraction experiments were performed on LiVO2 single crystals at temperatures below and above Tt. Superlattice reflections were observed below Tt and disappeared upon heating above the phase transition temperature. Upon cooling below Tt, the supperlattice spots reappeared. Bright field electron micrographs indicate that the crystals develop a roughly hexagonal network of cracks.

Here, we integrate the findings from imaging studies to propose a model of drug addiction. The process of addiction is initiated in part by the fast and high increases in DA induced by drugs of abuse. We hypothesize that this supraphysiological effect of drugs trigger a series of adaptations in neuronal circuits involved in saliency/reward, motivation/drive, memory/conditioning, and control/disinhibition, resulting in an enhanced (and long lasting) saliency value for the drug and its associated cues at the expense of decreased sensitivity for salient events of everyday life (including natural reinforcers). Although acute drug intake increases DA neurotransmission, chronic drug consumption results in a marked decrease in DA activity, associated with, among others, dysregulation of the orbitofrontal cortex (region involved with salience attribution) and cingulate gyrus (region involved with inhibitory control). The ensuing increase in motivational drive for the drug, strengthened by conditioned responses and the decrease in inhibitory control favors emergence of compulsive drug taking. This view of how drugs of abuse affect the brain suggests strategies for intervention, which might include: (a) those that will decrease the reward value of the drug of choice; (b) interventions to increase the saliency value of non-drug reinforcers; (c) approaches to weaken conditioned drug behaviors; and (d) methods to strengthen frontal inhibitory and executive control. Though this model focuses mostly on findings from PET studies of the brain DA system it is evident that other neurotransmitters are involved and that a better understanding of their roles in addiction would expand the options for therapeutic targets.

In addition, I drawn attention to a correlation, valid over nearly six orders of magnitude in frequency, between the frequencies of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of white dwarf, neutron star, and black hole binaries. This correlation identifies the high frequency quasi-coherent oscillations (so-called “dwarf nova oscillations”) of CVs with the kilohertz QPOs of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), and the low frequency and low coherence QPOs of CVs with the horizontal branch oscillations (or the broad noise component identified as such) of LMXBs. Assuming that the same mechanisms produce the QPOs of white dwarf, neutron star, and black hole binaries, this correlation has important implications for QPO models. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A simple and versatile direct-write nanolithography technique for the fabrication of interconnects is presented. Decomposition of a metalorganic precursor gas by a focused electron beam resulted in the deposition of conductive platinum nanowires. The combination of in situ secondary electron imaging with deposition allows for the simultaneous identification and interconnection of nanoscale components. However, the deposition was not entirely localized to the electron beam raster area, as shown by secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements. The electrical impact of the metallic spread was quantified by measuring the leakage current between closely spaced wires. The origins of the spread and strategies for minimizing it are discussed. These results indicate that, while this direct-write methodology is a convenient one for rapid prototyping of nanocircuits, caution must be used to avoid unwanted decoration of nanostructures by metallic species.

The critical current densities (Jc) of these films were measured using a standard four-probe method with magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the film surface. The vicinal Hg-1212 films indeed showed higher Jc’s in magnetic fields and irreversibility fields (Hirr) than that on 0°-cut SrTiO3. Hirr at 77 K is 2.1 T for the film grown 0°-cut SrTiO3, and is enhanced to 2.7 T for the one grown on 4°-miscut SrTiO3. If optimized so that the shape and the density of the defects can be controlled experimentally, this may be a promising way of improve magnetic flux pinning for many practical applications related to coated conductors.

At ambient pressure, CeO2 nanocrystals exhibit larger cell parameters than micro-sized samples, and initially exhibit a higher bulk modulus of 328(12) GPa. However, above 20 GPa, the bulk modulus is reduced to 230(10) GPa. Thus, a critical pressure of ∼20 GPa was determined that signifies the onset of size-induced weakening of elastic stiffness in nanocrystalline CeO2. Comparison of the x-ray diffraction peaks widths between the platinum standard and CeO2 indicates that a significant increase of particle size in CeO2 appears at a pressure of ∼20 GPa. It is suggested that the initial large value of the bulk modulus is a result of either an enhanced surface energy or from the pressure induced stiffness of Young’s modulus (E) and Poisson’s ratio (μ); while the weakening of the elastic stiffness above 20 GPa is due to a pressure-induced increase of particle size.

The potential for damage is exacerbated when the amount of absorbed light exceeds the capacity for light energy utilization in photosynthesis, a condition that can lead to decreases in photosynthetic efficiency. A feedback de-excitation mechanism (qE), measured as a component of nonphotochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence, regulates photosynthetic light harvesting in excess light in response to a change in thylakoid lumen pH. qE involves de-excitation of the singlet excited state of chlorophyll in the light-harvesting antenna of photosystem II, thereby minimizing the deleterious effects of high light via thermal dissipation of excess excitation energy. While the physiological importance of qE has been recognized for many years, a description of its physical mechanism remains elusive.

T1 - Sml 1p Is a Dimer in Solution: Characterization of Denaturation and Renaturation of Recombinant Sml 1p. JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/07/06/ VL - 43 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 8568 EP - 8578 SN - 00062960 AB - Sml 1p is a small 104-amino acid protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that binds to the large subunit (Rnrlp) of the ribonucleotide reductase complex (RNR) and inhibits its activity. During DNA damage, S phase, or both, RNR activity must be tightly regulated, since failure to control the cellular level of dNTP pools may lead to genetic abnormalities, such as genome rearrangements, or even cell death. Structural characterization of Sml 1p is an important step in understanding the regulation of RNR. Until now the oligomeric state of Sml1p was unknown. Mass spectrometric analysis of wild-type Sml1p revealed an intermolecular disulfide bond involving the cysteine residue at position 14 of the primary sequence. To determine whether disulfide bonding is essential for Sml1p oligomerization, we mutated the Cys 14 to serine. Sedimentation equilibrium measurements in the analytical ultracentrifuge show that both wild-type and C14S Sml 1p exist as dimers in solution, indicating that the dimerization is not a result of a disulfide bond. Further studies of several truncated Sml 1p mutants revealed that the N-terminal 8-20 residues are responsible for dimerization. Unfolding/refolding studies of wild-type and C 14S Sml 1p reveal that both proteins refold reversibly and have almost identical unfolding/refolding profiles. It appears that Sml 1p is a two-domain protein where the N-terminus is responsible for dimerization and the C-terminus for binding and inhibiting Rnrlp activity.

Benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotope record and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C data provide the basis for the core age chronology. Planktonic and benthic foraminiferal δ18O and δ13C measurements, magnetic susceptibility, ice rafted debris and coarse fraction content, carbonate and organic carbon content, and diatom and pollen spectra show major changes in regional climate, sea surface conditions, ice extent and sedimentary regime, which are correlated with the global glacial–interglacial changes of marine isotope stages (MIS) 1 through 5.3. Regional cooling and intensification of winter sea ice formation during the last glaciation increased the northern shelf surface water density and Sea of Okhotsk Intermediate Water (SOIW) formation. In addition to major Milankovitch-scale changes, lithological, geochemical and paleontological indices also show suborbital oscillations in Okhotsk Sea hydrology, sedimentation and regional climate. These shorter-term oscillations are characterized by coupled maxima in ice rafted debris and sediment coarse fraction (lithodynamic indices, LDI) values and most are associated with cold events involving enhanced winter ice formation and intensification of SOIW and North Pacific intermediate water (NPIW) formation. The terminations of LDI maxima were induced by climate warming and reductions in ice formation, and were accompanied by sharp decreases in planktonic foraminiferal δ18O. During the glacial terminations of MIS 2 and 4, however, the onset of suborbital-scale LDI maxima occurs close to sharp negative δ18O shifts in planktonic foraminifera (δ18Opf) associated with climate warming. In these special cases, the LDI maxima occurred under warm climate and rising sea levels and did not lead to increases in SOIW or NPIW ventilation.

The structural data was quite intriguing, as it detailed what would have been the first linear hydride of a simple dinuclear metal complex. The position of the bridging hydride could only be inferred to have a linear relationship with the two chromium atoms. Inn this article authors reports a dinuclear nickel complex containing a single bridging hydride that was found to lie collinearly with the two metal centers and showed no disorder in the neutron diffraction studies.

T1 - DNA-Mediated Exciton Coupling and Electron Transfer between Donor and Acceptor Stilbenes Separated by a Variable Number of Base Pairs. JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/07/07/ VL - 126 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 8206 EP - 8215 SN - 00027863 AB - The synthesis, steady-state spectroscopy, and transient absorption spectroscopy of DNA conjugates possessing both stilbene electron donor and electron acceptor chromophores are described. These conjugates are proposed to form nicked DNA dumbbell structures in which a stilbenedicarboxamide acceptor and stilbenediether donor are separated by variable numbers of A-T or G-C base pairs. The nick is located either adjacent to one of the chromophores or between two of the bases. Thermal dissociation profiles indicate that stable structures are formed possessing as few as two A-T base pairs. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra in the base pair region are characteristic of B-DNA duplex structures, whereas CD spectra at longer wavetengths display two bands attributed to exciton coupling between the two stilbenes. The sign and intensity of these bands are dependent upon both the distance between the chromophores and the dihedral angle between their transition dipoles [Δ∊ ≈ Rda-2 sin(2ϑ)]. Pulsed laser excitation of the stilbenediamide results in creation of the acceptor-donor radical ion pair, which decays via charge recombination. The dynamics of charge separation and charge recombination display an exponential distance dependence, similar to that observed previously for systems in which guanine serves as the electron donor. Unlike exciton coupling between the stilbenes, there is no apparent dependence of the charge- transfer rates upon the dihedral angle between donor and acceptor stilbenes. The introduction of a single 0-C base pair between the donor and acceptor results in a change in the mechanism for charge separation from single step superexchange to hole hopping.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/07/07/ VL - 126 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 8284 EP - 8294 SN - 00027863 AB - We report on two multi-chromophore building blocks that self-assemble in solution and on surfaces into supramolecular light-harvesting arrays. Each building block is based on perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) chromophores. In one building block, N-phenyl PDI chromophores are attached at their para positions to both nitrogens and the 3 and 6 carbons of pyromellitimide to form a cross-shaped molecule (PI-PDI4). In the second building block, N-phenyl PDI chromophores are attached at their para positions to both nitrogens and the 1 and 7 carbons of a fifth PDI to produce a saddle-shaped molecule (PDI5). These molecules self-assemble into partially ordered dimeric structures (Pl-PDI4)2 and (PDI5)4 in toluene and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solutions with the PDI molecules approximately parallel to one another primarily due to π-π interactions between adjacent PDI chromophores. On hydrophobic surfaces, PDI5 grows into rod-shaped nanostructures of average length 130 nm as revealed by atomic force microscopy. Photo-excitation of these supramolecular dimers in solution gives direct evidence of strong π-π interactions between the excited PDI chromophore and other PDI molecules nearby based on the observed formation of an excimer-like state in <130 fs with a lifetime of about 20 ns. Multiple photoexcitations of the supramolecular dimers lead to fast singlet-singlet annihilation of the excimer-like state, which occurs with exciton hopping times of about 5 ps, which are comparable to those observed in photosynthetic light- harvesting proteins from green plants.

Using epidemic modeling and data from two well-documented Ebola outbreaks (Congo 1995 and Uganda 2000), we estimate the number of secondary cases generated by an index case in the absence of control interventions (R0). Our estimate of R0 is 1.83 (sd 0.06) for Congo (1995) and 1.34 (sd 0.03) for Uganda (2000). We model the course of the outbreaks via an SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-removed) epidemic model that includes a smooth transition in the transmission rate after control interventions are put in place. We perform an uncertainty analysis of the basic reproductive number R0 to quantify its sensitivity to other disease-related parameters. We also analyse the sensitivity of the final epidemic size to the time interventions begin and provide a distribution for the final epidemic size. The control measures implemented during these two outbreaks (including education and contact tracing followed by quarantine) reduce the final epidemic size by a factor of 2 relative the final size with a 2-week delay in their implementation.

Progress on understanding the anomalous isotope effects in ozone is reviewed. Then, calculations are performed for the simpler reaction xNe+yNe+H⇔xNeyNe+H, where x and y label either identical or different isotopes. The atomic masses in the model are chosen so that symmetry is the only difference between the systems. Starting from a single potential energy surface, the properties of the bound, quasibound, and continuum states of the neon dimer are calculated. Then, the vibration rotation infinite order sudden approximation is used to calculate cross sections for all possible inelastic and dissociative processes. A rate constant matrix that exactly satisfies detailed balance is constructed. It allows recombination to occur both via direct three-body collisions and via tunneling into the quasibound states of the energy transfer mechanism. The eigenvalue rate coefficients are determined. Significant isotope effects are clearly found, and their behavior depends on the pressure, temperature, and mechanism of the reaction. Both spin statistics and symmetry breaking produce isotope effects. Under most conditions the breaking of symmetry enhances the rates, but a wide spectrum of effects is observed; they range from isotope effects with a normal mass dependence to huge, mass-independent isotope effects to cancellation and even to reversal of the isotope effects. This is the first calculation of symmetry-induced isotope effects in recombination rates from first principles. The relevance of the present effects to ozone recombination is discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The ab initio based Lakin–Troya–Schatz–Harding potential energy functions for the A′ and A″ states are employed. Good agreement with the experimental product distributions and lifetimes of Pond and Lester is found. We are able to confirm that complexes with two vibrational quanta of excitation in OH, vOH=2, and no vibrational excitation in CO, vCO=0, decay through two pathways. One pathway leads to products (vOH=1, vCO=0) with relatively high OH rotational energy and the other leads to products (vOH=1, vCO=1) with relatively low OH rotational energy. We also find that the lifetime of the A″ state is less than the A′ state and that there is a propensity for A″ products. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Additionally, we measured a particle susceptibility of 14 (MKS units), which is far above the value possible for micron-scale spherical particles. These properties will allow for formation of composites that can be highly structured by magnetic fields.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/07/08/ VL - 108 IS - 27 M3 - Article SP - 5883 EP - 5893 SN - 10895639 AB - Electronic structure methods were used to calculate the aqueous reaction energies for hydrogenolysis, dehydrochlorination, and nucleophilic substitution by OH- of 4,4‘-DDT. Thermochemical properties ΔHf° (298.15 K), S° (298.15 K, 1 bar), ΔGS (298.15 K, 1 bar) were calculated by using ab initio electronic structure calculations, isodesmic reactions schemes, gas-phase entropy estimates, and continuum solvation models for a series of DDT type structures (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-CCl3, (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-CCl2•, (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-CHCl2, (p-C6H4Cl)2-C=CCl2, (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-CCl2OH, (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-CCl(=O), and (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-COOH. On the basis of these thermochemical estimates, the overall aqueous reaction energetics of hydrogenolysis, dehydrochlorination, and hydrolysis of 4,4‘-DDT were estimated. The results of this investigation showed that the dehydrochlorination and hydrolysis reactions have strongly favorable thermodynamics in the standard state, as well as under a wide range of pH conditions. For hydrogenolysis with the reductant aqueous Fe(II), the thermodynamics are strongly dependent on pH, and the stability region of the (p-C6H4Cl)2-CH-CCl2•(aq) species is a key to controlling the reactivity in hydrogenolysis. These results illustrate the use of ab initio electronic structure methods to identify the potentially important environmental degradation reactions by calculation of the reaction energetics of a potentially large number of organic compounds with aqueous species in natural waters.

A parametric presentation of these ridges is suggested that shows the range of possible frequencies in the HYSCORE spectrum and aids in spectral assignments and rapid estimation of spin Hamiltonian parameters. An alternative approach for the spectral density calculation is presented. This methodology is based on spectral decomposition of the Hamiltonian and requires only the eigenvalues. An atlas of HYSCORE spectra is given in the Supporting Information for this paper. This approach is applied to the estimation of the spin Hamiltonian parameters of the oxovanadium-EDTA complex.

Experiments have been performed for fresh and lyophilized whole cells of the deuterated cyanobacterium S. lividus. A computer fit of the angle-dependent D-band spectra, measured for two different sample orientations, provides the order parameter SZ‘Z‘ of the symmetry axis, Z‘, of the susceptibility tensor, relative to the magnetic field. The positive sign of this order parameter indicates that membrane proteins are the major source for the anisotropy of the diamagnetic susceptibility, ΔχV. A value for ΔχV has been extracted from the magnetic-field dependence of SZ‘Z‘. The value of ΔχV = 5.7 × 10-27 m3 is in good agreement with an estimate for the susceptibility anisotropy of a cyanobacterial cell. This demonstrates that whole cells are aligned in the magneto-orientation process. The combination of high-field EPR of a magnetically oriented sample with the analysis of quantum beat oscillations allows determination of the three-dimensional structure of [inline equation] %@mt;sys@%%@ital@%A%@rsf@%%@sx@%1%@be@%-%@sxx@%%@mx@% in the photosynthetic membrane.

Rietveld analysis of synchrotron XRD data shows that the unit-cell parameter a increases linearly with increasing Cs+ content. In the structure, K+ is situated in the center of the eight-membered titanosilicate ring, whereas Cs+ is displaced from the ring center, and the displacement increases with higher K+/(Cs+ + K+) ratio.The enthalpies of formation from the oxides and from the elements were determined by drop solution calorimetry into molten 2PbO · B2O3 solvent at 974 K. The formation enthalpies from oxides become more exothermic with increasing Cs+/(Cs+ + K+), suggesting a stabilizing effect of K+ → Cs+ on the pharmacosiderite structure. Calculation of the enthalpy of the K+ → Cs+ exchange reaction based on the measured formation enthalpies indicates that the Cs+ uptake in these phases is probably thermodynamically (rather than kinetically) driven.

For high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) superconductors, it is far from clear that phonons are involved in the pairing at all. For example, the negligible change in Tc of optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi2212; ref. 1) upon oxygen isotope substitution (16O ? 18O leads to Tc decreasing from 92 to 91?K) has often been taken to mean that phonons play an insignificant role in this material. Here we provide a detailed comparison of the electron dynamics of Bi2212 samples containing different oxygen isotopes, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our data show definite and strong isotope effects. Surprisingly, the effects mainly appear in broad high-energy humps, commonly referred to as ‘incoherent peaks’. As a function of temperature and electron momentum, the magnitude of the isotope effect closely correlates with the superconducting gap-that is, the pair binding energy. We suggest that these results can be explained in a dynamic spin-Peierls picture, where the singlet pairing of electrons and the electron-lattice coupling mutually enhance each other.

Further scientific and technological advances should be achievable if these colloidal quantum systems could be electronically coupled in a general way. For example, this was the case when it became possible to couple solid-state embedded quantum dots into quantum dot molecules. Similarly, the preparation of nanowires with linear alternating compositions-another form of coupled quantum dots-has led to the rapid development of single-nanowire light-emitting diodes and single-electron transistors. Current strategies to connect colloidal quantum dots use organic coupling agents, which suffer from limited control over coupling parameters and over the geometry and complexity of assemblies. Here we demonstrate a general approach for fabricating inorganically coupled colloidal quantum dots and rods, connected epitaxially at branched and linear junctions within single nanocrystals. We achieve control over branching and composition throughout the growth of nanocrystal heterostructures to independently tune the properties of each component and the nature of their interactions. Distinct dots and rods are coupled through potential barriers of tuneable height and width, and arranged in three-dimensional space at well-defined angles and distances. Such control allows investigation of potential applications ranging from quantum information processing to artificial photosynthesis.

The measurement was performed with a radioactive 76Kr ion beam applying projectile Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics combined with the transient magnetic field technique. The 76Kr beam was produced and accelerated in batch mode (re-cyclotron method) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 88-Inch Cyclotron. A total of three production and acceleration cycles yielded six hours of beam on target with peak rates of 108 particles/s. About 5.6×104 particle-γ coincidence events were recorded. The g factor g(76Kr;2+1)=+0.37(11) was obtained by direct comparison to the known g(78Kr;2+1) value re-measured immediately after the 76Kr runs with the same setup and under almost identical kinematic conditions.

The biaxial texture feature of the films was examined by X-ray pole-figure analysis, φ-scan, and -scan. A tilt angle of 32° of the MgO[001] with respect to the substrate normal was observed. Epitaxial growth of YBCO films with c-axis tilt angle of 32° with respect to the substrate normal was obtained on these substrates with SrTiO3(STO) as buffer layer. Whereas, by choosing yttria-stabilized ZrO2 and CeO2 instead of STO as buffer layer, a c-axis untilted YBCO film was obtained. Higher values of Tc=91 K and Jc=5.5×105 A/cm2 were obtained on the c-axis untilted YBCO films with 0.46 μm thickness at 77 K in zero field. Comparative studies revealed a unique role of CeO2 in controlling the orientation of the YBCO films grown on ISD-MgO buffered metal substrates.

The spikes on ITO surface are responsible for the initial local shorts of the device, which develop into dark spots very quickly. Indium adsorption is observed on the polymer and Al cathode interface. A chemical etching procedure is used to smoothen the ITO surface without changing the ITO thickness and the sheet resistance. Devices made out of smooth ITO show minimum changes at polymer–cathode interface during operation.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/07/09/ VL - 279 IS - 28 M3 - Article SP - 29320 EP - 29324 SN - 00219258 AB - The Chlamydia protein CADD (Chlamydia protein associating with death domains) has been implicated in the modulation of host cell apoptosis via binding to the death domains of tumor necrosis factor family receptors. Transfection of CADD into mammalian cells induces apoptosis. Here we present the CADD crystal structure, which reveals a dimer of seven-helix bundles. Each bundle contains a di-iron center adjacent to an internal cavity, forming an active site similar to that of methane mono-oxygenase hydrolase. We further show that CADD mutants lacking critical metal-coordinating residues are substantially less effective in inducing apoptosis but retain their ability to bind to death domains. We conclude that CADD is a novel redox protein toxin unique to Chlamydia species and propose that both its redox activity and death domain binding ability are required for its biological activity.

In isothermal mode, it appeared very clearly that the mass depletion shows a sigmoid profile characteristic of an auto-accelerated reaction process. This behaviour is consistent with kinetics of nuclei-growth, well represented by the models of Avrami–Erofeev (A–E) and of Prout–Tompkins (P–T) type. All the other kinetic models commonly applied to the thermal decomposition of solids revealed unsatisfactory. The TGA and DTG data were, thus, found ideally simulated from a reaction scheme consisting in two parallel reactions, termed 1 and 2, each one described by the kinetic law: dx/dt=-A-E/RTxn(1-0.99x)m. Reaction 1 is related to the bulk decomposition of cellulose and is characterised by the set of parameters: E1=202 kJ/mol; n1=1; m1=0.48. Reaction 2 is related to the slower residual decomposition, which takes place over approximately 350 °C and affects only 16% by weight of the raw cellulose. With m2 constrained to 1, the optimised parameters of this reaction were: E2=255 kJ/mol; n2=22. Finally, the proposed model allowed to correctly fit not less than to 10 sets of ATG–DTG data, isothermal and dynamic.

Oxygen atoms, which typically appear as 30–40 pm deep depressions on Pd(1 1 1), occupy fcc hollow sites and form ordered p(2 × 2) islands upon annealing above 180 K. The mobility of the atoms diminishes rapidly below 180 K, with an approximate diffusion barrier of 0.4–0.5 eV. Oxygen atom pairs produced by thermal dissociation of O2 at 160 K occupy both fcc and hcp hollow sites. The atoms travel approximately 0.25 nm after dissociation, and the distribution of pairs is strongly influenced by the presence of subsurface impurities within the Pd sample. At much lower temperatures, the STM tip can dissociate oxygen molecules. Dissociation occurs at sample bias voltages exceeding approximately 0.1 V. Following tip-induced dissociation, the product atoms occupy only fcc hollow sites. Oxygen atoms can be manipulated via short range repulsive interactions with the STM tip.

Here, we outline a technique for simulations in photochemistry, which employs classical trajectories for the nuclei moving in a mean field, with the electrons coupled to a laser pulse by the time-dependent Peierls substitution. We demonstrate that it provides an illuminating description of photoisomerization. One observes a nontrivial sequence of events which include multiple electronic excitations, conversion of double bonds to single bonds (and vice versa), nonadiabatic depopulation of excited levels at avoided crossings, vibrational energy redistribution, and an elegant interdependence of the various electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom.

Tissues and cell types within tissues appear to vary in both DNA damage susceptibilities and cancer incidences, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to characterize the baseline transcription profiles of selected genes involved in DNA damage recognition and repair processes among several tissues of healthy adult B6C3F1 mice (testis, brain, liver, spleen and heart), which are routinely used by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) to conduct long-term chemical carcinogenicity studies. Stress response, damage control and DNA repair-associated genes were differentially expressed among the tissues examined. Overall, stress response genes exhibited the greatest variation among tissues with the highest expression in liver and heart while DNA repair genes exhibited the least variation. Damage control genes associated with cell cycle regulation and DNA repair genes generally had the highest expression in testis. The expression levels of several genes were rank correlated with the spontaneous cancer incidences among these tissues. Variations in basal expression of DNA damage recognition and repair-associated genes among healthy tissues may contribute to their differential response to genotoxic agents and susceptibility to genetic disease.

These include relaxation of electronic excitation following initial absorption of high-energy radiation, thermalization of electrons and holes, formation of excitons, charge carrier trapping on defects and self-trapping, transfer of excitation to luminescence centers, and emission of detectable light. Materials include intrinsic and activated insulating crystals and semiconductors involving several different luminescent centers and radiative processes. Fundamental limitations of scintillator performance and nonradiative processes arising from native defects and impurities that can limit scintillation light output are discussed.

The guiding principal behind PEM instrumentation is that a camera whose field of view is restricted to a single breast has higher performance and lower cost than a conventional PET camera. The most common geometry is a pair of parallel planes of detector modules, although geometries that encircle the breast have also been proposed. The ability of the detectors to measure the depth of interaction (DOI) is also a relevant feature. This paper finds that while both the additional solid angle coverage afforded by encircling the breast and the decreased blurring afforded by the DOI measurement improve performance, for small lesions the ability to measure DOI is more important than the ability to encircle the breast.

This device will permit neurophysiological studies to be carried out on small animals without the use of anaesthesia, which severely suppresses brain functions and behavior. The tomograph consists of a 4 cm diameter ring consisting of 12 blocks of LSO crystals, each containing a 4×8 matrix of 2×2 mm2 pixels read out with a Hamamatsu S8550 avalanche photodiode array. The ring will be mounted to the head of the rat and supported by a tether that carries the weight and provides a pathway for electrical signals. Combined with additional mechanical components, it will allow nearly complete freedom of movement of the animal. In order to minimize the weight of the ring, and to keep all of the front end readout electronics as close as possible to the detector, a new ASIC is being developed in 0.18 μm CMOS technology that will process the analog signals and provide digital readout of the pixel arrays and timing information.This paper will describe the novel features and challenges of this new detector, along with preliminary results obtained with a pair of block detectors used in a configuration similar to the final tomograph. Results are given on studies carried out to optimize the light output of the crystal arrays, measurements of the APDs, a preliminary design of the readout electronics chip, and reconstructed images of various types of phantoms in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the detector concept.

Structural and optical properties of Zn1-xCdxO films were strongly correlated to the processing conditions. The composition of the films varied nonmonotonically as a function of deposition temperatures due to the difference of vapor pressure between Cd and Zn species. The optical energy bandgap of Zn1-xCdxO thin films, measured by photoluminescence and transmittance, changed from 3.249 to 3.291 eV. The change of the optical properties was mainly attributed to the change of the stoichiometry of Zn1-xCdxO, as determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy.

In InN, this angle is almost two times bigger than that reported for AlN. The origin of V-shaped inversion domains in InN film is not yet clear.

The films all show a distinct uniaxial contribution to the magnetic anisotropy along the in-plane [110] direction, whose relative importance increases with the temperature. The uniaxial anisotropy field is found to be essentially thickness independent, ruling out the possibility that this is an effect produced by a single surface or interface due to well-known surface reconstruction. Furthermore, even the very thick samples are found to be tetragonal and coherently strained to the GaAs substrate. Our results suggest that the uniaxial anisotropy arises from surface reconstruction induced preferential Mn incorporation occurring at every step of layer-by-layer growth and thus uniformly penetrates the entire sample.

Our data show that the switching is a common occurrence restricted to an interfacial layer between a deposited metal electrode and the oxide. We determine through impedance spectroscopy that the interfacial layer is no thicker than 10 nm and that the switch is accompanied by a small capacitance increase associated with charge accumulation. Based on interfacial I–V characterization and measurement of the temperature dependence of the resistance, we propose that a field-created crystalline defect mechanism, which is controllable for devices, drives the switch.

At 0.10 M ionic strength and 25 °C, the rate constant kI/M-2 S-1 has values of 8.8 x 10³ [L = (NH3)4], 536 (L¹), and 530 (L²). The final products are LRh(H2O)23+ and I2/I3-. The (NH3)4(H2O)RhOOH2+/Br- reaction also exhibits mixed third-order kinetics with kBr ≈ 1.8 M-2 s-1 at high concentrations of acid (close to 1 M) and bromide (close to 0.1 M) and an ionic strength of 1.0 M. Under these conditions, Br2/Br3- is produced in stoichiometric amounts. As the concentrations of acid and bromide decrease, the reaction begins to generate O2 at the expense of Br2, until the limit at which IH+] ≤ 0.10 M and [Br-] ≤ 0.010 M, when Br2/Br3- is no longer observed and O2 is produced quantitatively. At this limit, the loss of (NH3)4(H2O)RhOOH2+ is about twice as fast as it is at the high [H+] and [Br-] extreme, and the stoichiometry is 2(NH3)4(H2O)RhOOH2+ → 2(NH3)4(H2O)RhOH2+ + O2; i.e., the reaction has turned into the bromidecatalyzed disproportionation of coordinated hydroperoxide. In the proposed mechanism, the hydrolysis of the initially formed Br2 produces HOBr, the active oxidant for the second equivalent of (NH3)4(H2O)RhOOH2+. The rate constant kHOBr for the HOBr/(NH3)4(H2O)RhOOH2+ reaction is 2.9 x 108 M-1 s-1.

Underground mine fires and burning culm banks ignited by natural causes or human error are responsible for atmospheric pollution, acid rain, perilous land subsidence, the destruction of floral and faunal habitats, human fatalities, and increased coronary and respiratory diseases. Some of the oldest and largest coal fires in the world occur in China, the United States, and India. Techniques used to fight coal fires include slurry and ash injection, surface and tunnel sealing, aqueous foam technology, remote sensing, and computer software. Elusive, unpredictable, or cost prohibitive coal fires may burn indefinitely, choking the life out of a community and its environs while consuming a valuable natural resource.

In this method, a characteristic fire signature is based on the ratio of higher molecular weight hydrocarbon gases (C2 to C5) to total hydrocarbon gas. Initially, gas samples are obtained at the bottom of boreholes under baseline or static conditions. A second set of samples is obtained when a suction fan is used to influence the direction of gas movement. Pressure data define the degree of communication between boreholes. The value of the diagnostic ratio under communication conditions is taken as a measure of subsurface fire activity related to a particular flow direction. Using a Venn diagram technique, the results are mapped as quadrants on a borehole map of the site. Repetition of the communication tests provides overlapping quadrants that define hot, cold, and indeterminate areas. The MFD has been used to distinguish hearted and cold subsurface areas at four mine fire sites. At each of the sites, the extent of the fire could not be inferred from surface evidence, and the location of combustion zones had a significant impact on plans to control the fire. Although the method is labor intensive and requires drilling cased boreholes, it is relatively simple and provides information that cannot be obtained by other methods.

A slurry composed of CO2 particles in liquid N2 at a temperature of -180 °C, when injected into heated zones, absorbs heat. Conversion of the slurry to a gas creates a cold pressure front that forces heated combustion gases out of the bank. The waste bank had been burning for approximately 30 years. The 5000-m2 (1.2 acre) site was characterized by a three-dimensional array of temperature measuring points. Temperatures were measured over a 30-month period, before during and after two tests of cryogenic injection. The amount of cryogenic slurry injected was insufficient to completely extinguish the fire, but evaluation of the temperature profiles indicated that it had cooled localized hot spots and promoted ambient cooling of the more widely disbursed heated areas within the bank.

A novel approach to enable conventional sulfur removal in high-temperature fuel processing is presented. Using established principles from heat-recirculating combustors, it is suggested that high-temperature syngas can be momentarily cooled to conditions that would permit conventional sulfur removal to be carried out at relatively low temperatures. The recirculated heat is then used to heat the gas back to conditions that are minimally less than the original temperature. A model for evaluating the performance of this concept is presented, and calculations suggest that relative to fuel cell applications, reasonable physical dimensions can be expected in actual applications. For high-pressure syngas (i.e., coal gasification), the physical dimensions will rise with the operating pressure.

The natural graphite anode in gel electrolyte containing lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI)-EC + PC + DMC exhibited high reversible capacity (360 mAh/g) and high coulombic efficiency (91.6%). The LiFePO4 cathode in the same gel polymer exhibited a reversible capacity of 160 mAh/g and 92% coulombic efficiency. Better performance was obtained at high-rate discharge with 6% carbon additive (carbon and graphite) in the cathode. The Li-ion gel polymer battery shows a very low capacity fade of 1% after 100 cycles.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/07/13/ VL - 101 IS - 28 M3 - Article SP - 10266 EP - 10271 SN - 00278424 AB - The functionality, substrate specificity, and regiospecificity of enzymes typically evolve by the accumulation of mutations in the catalytic portion of the enzyme until new properties arise. However, emerging evidence suggests enzyme functionality can also be influenced by metabolic context. When the plastidial Arabidopsis 16:0Δ7 desaturase FADS (ADS3) was retargeted to the cytoplasm, regiospecificity shifted 70-fold, Δ7 to Δ7. Conversely, retargeting of two related cytoplasmic 16:0Δ9Arabidopsis desaturases (ADS1 and ADS2) to the plastid, shifted regiospecificity ≈25-fold, Δ7 to Δ9. All three desaturases exhibited Δ9 regiospecificity when expressed in yeast, with desaturated products found predominantly on phosphatidylcholine. Coexpression of each enzyme with cucumber monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) synthase in yeast conferred Δ7 desaturation, with 16:1Δ7 accumulating specifically on the plastidial lipid MGDG. Positional analysis is consistent with ADS desaturation of 16:0 on MGDG. The lipid headgroup acts as a molecular switch for desaturase regiospecificity. FAD5 Δ7 regio-specificity is thus attributable to plastidial retargeting of the enzyme by addition of a transit peptide to a cytoplasmic Δ9 desaturase rather than the numerous sequence differences within the catalytic portion of ADS enzymes. The MGDG-dependent desaturase activity enabled plants to synthesize 16:1Δ7 and its abundant metabolite, 16:3Δ7,10,13. Bioinformatics analysis of the Arabidopsis genome identified 239 protein families that contain members predicted to reside in different subcellular compartments, suggesting alternative targeting is widespread. Alternative targeting of bifunctional or multifunctional enzymes can exploit eukaryotic subcellular organization to create metabolic diversity by permitting isozymes to interact with different substrates and thus create different products in alternate compartments.

The single-mode spectral function is modified for applications to vibronic spectra involving multiple vibrational modes. It is shown that, for lanthanide and actinide ions in crystals, f–d electronic transitions exhibit two types of vibronic couplings. One type of vibronic coupling to local and pseudo-local modes obeys Frank–Condon selection rules and has a sharp line width, whereas in the second type of vibronic coupling electronic transitions couple to lattice modes in which selectivity is absent, thus forming a broad vibronic band. The model calculation reproduces very well the experimental spectra of 5f–6d transitions of Pa4+ in Cs2ZrCl6 and 4f–5d transitions of Ce3+ in Cs2NaYCl6.

This adaptation requires the development of methods for (i) generating candidate structures and (ii) evaluating and prioritizing these structures with respect to their binding affinity for a specific guest. This article summarizes recent progress in this area that includes the creation of a new computer software program, called HostDesigner, that can generate and evaluate millions of new molecular structures per minute on a desktop personal computer. Several methods for evaluating the degree of binding site organization in a host structure are presented. An example is provided to demonstrate how these methods have been used to identify ligand architectures that provide enhanced metal ion binding affinity.

Low binding energy features derived from minority-spin Fe 3d electrons were clearly distinguished from S-derived bands. We showed that the electronic structure of the simplest Fe4S4- cubane cluster can be described by the two-layer spin-coupling model previously developed for the [4Fe] cubane analogues. The photoelectron data revealed that each extra S atom in Fe4S5 and Fe4S6 removes two minority-spin Fe 3d electrons from the [4Fe-4S] cubane core and each halogen ligand removes one Fe 3d electron from the cubane core in the Fe4S4Ln- complexes, clearly revealing a behavior of sequential oxidation of the cubane over five formal oxidation states: [4Fe-4S]- →[4Fe-4S]° → [4Fe-4S]+ → [4Fe-4S]2+. [4Fe-4S]3+. The current work shows the electron-storage capability of the [4Fe-4S] cubane, contributes to the understanding of its electronic structure, and further demonstrates the robustness of the cubane as a structural unit and electron-transfer center.

Polydiacetylene-based systems are attractive for sensing applications due to their colorimetric response to changes in the local environment. Here we present the design, preparation, and characterization of self-assembling functional bolaamphiphilic polydiacetylenes (SPDAs) inspired by nature's strategy for membrane stabilization. We show that by placing polar headgroups on both ends of the diacetylene lipids in a transmembranic fashion and by altering the chemical nature of the polar surface residues, the conjugated polymers can be engineered to display a range of radiation-, thermal-, and pH-induced colorimetric responses. We observed dramatic nanoscopic morphological transformations accompanying charge-induced chromatic transitions, suggesting that both side-chain disordering and main-chain rearrangement play important roles in altering the effective conjugation lengths of the poly(ene-yne). These results establish the foundation for further development of BPDA-based colorimetric sensors.

In addition to the 10–12 year variations, solar activity varies over centennial and millenial periods. During the past 1000 years, of particular interest were the Medieval Warming Period (high solar activity), the Maunder Minimum, (minimal solar activity) and the sharp multi-decadal increase in solar maxima during the first half of the 20th Century. Satellite observations of solar irradiance for the past two decades have allowed calibration of variations in solar activity proxies. A number of attempts at reconstructing past climate variations via these proxies has shown that direct (irradiance) solar forcing can explain observed northern hemisphere temperatures from 1000 to 1900, but fails to account for most of the observed warming in the past 100 years, especially after 1975. Because solar direct forcing is able to account for climate changes prior to 1900, indirect solar forcing effects seem to be small, but merit continued study especially until both paleo-temperatures and magnitude of forcings are known more precisely.

Matrix modification and speciation control chemistries that are required for the radiochemical determination of total 99Tc in caustic aged nuclear waste samples have been investigated. A rapid and quantitative oxidation procedure using peroxydisulfate in acidic solution was developed to convert reduced technetium species to pertechnetate in samples with high content of reducing organics. The effectiveness of the automated sample treatment procedures has been validated in the radiochemical analysis of total 99Tc in caustic aged nuclear waste matrixes from the Hanford site.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/07/15/ VL - 76 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 3887 EP - 3892 SN - 00032700 AB - A novel stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography has been prepared via photoinitiated grafting of two layers of polymer chains onto the pore surface of a porous polymer monolith. To achieve the desired retention, the original monolith with optimized porous properties was grafted with an "interior" layer consisting of the ionizable monomer, 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic add, followed by a "covering" layer of hydrophobic polymer chains. This technique affords monolithic CEC columns that facilitate electroosmotic flow (EOF) while preventing ionized analytes from interacting with the charged surface functionalities. Grafting of the second layer does not adversely affect the EOF. Grafting times of 30 and 60s for AMPS and butyl acrylate, respectively, enabled the preparation of a monolith with full shielding of the analytes from the ionizable functionalities and excellent chromatographic performance. This approach allows for the first dine the independent optimization of both electroosmotic flow and retention properties in CEC columns. The efficient isocratic separations of mixtures of peptides, including some that are highly basic and would be affected by unshielded charges, were routinely achieved in 40-90s using a simple MS compatible mobile phase consisting of 20 mmol/L ammonium acetate in a 1:1 water-acetonitrile mixture.

DNA immobilization and hybridization times are 100 ns and 10 μs, respectively, about 109 times faster than the corresponding passive reactions without electric field. Surface coverage is comparable. Duration, magnitude and slew rate of the voltage pulse are all key factors controlling the rates of ssDNA immobilization and hybridization. With rise times of 4.5 ns, pulses shorter than 1 ms and voltages below 1 V are effective. The ssDNA adsorbed on the surface is reoriented by the rapidly changing electric field. This reduces steric barriers and speeds the immobilization and hybridization reactions. These results open the way for pixel-addressed microarrays driven by silicon microelectronics circuits.

We demonstrated simple and rapid techniques for determining plasma viscosity without cell separation, for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and for tracking blood coagulation throughout the entire process. Additionally, mathematical models, previously developed to characterize surface-loaded resonators, were used to extract non-Newtonian and viscoelastic material properties of blood layers during sedimentation and coagulation experiments. These studies indicate the utility of the TSM resonator for several clinical applications. Because the resonators can be miniaturized, potential exists for extending the techniques for use inside the body or blood stream (in vivo).

This paper describes a standardized multiproject methodology for setting baselines, represented by the emissions rate (kg C/kWh), for electric power projects. A standardized methodology would reduce the transaction costs of projects. The most challenging aspect of setting multiproject emissions rates is determining the vintage and types of plants to include in the baseline and the stringency of the emissions rates to be considered, in order to balance the desire to encourage no- or low-carbon projects while maintaining environmental integrity. The criteria for selecting power plants to include in the baseline depend on characteristics of both the project and the electricity grid it serves. Two case studies illustrate the application of these concepts to the electric power grids in eastern India and South Africa. We use hypothetical, but realistic, climate change projects in each country to illustrate the use of the multiproject methodology, and note the further research required to fully understand the implications of the various choices in constructing and using these baselines.

Spatial patterns of hydraulic conductivity may play a role because of both advection and diffusion through isolated low conductivity areas. We demonstrated such processes in laboratory experiments designed to visualize solute transport through a thin chamber (40 cm × 20 cm × 0.64 cm thick) packed with glass beads and containing circular emplacements of smaller glass beads with lower conductivity. The experiments used three different contrasts of conductivity between the large-bead matrix and the emplacements, targeting three different regimes of solute transport: low contrast, targeting macrodispersion; intermediate contrast, targeting advection-dominated mass transfer between the high-conductivity regions and the emplacements; and high contrast, targeting diffusion-dominated mass transfer. Use of a strong light source, a high-resolution CCD camera, and a colorimetric dye produced images with a spatial resolution of about 400 μm and a concentration range of approximately 2 orders of magnitude. These images confirm the existence of the three different regimes, and we observed tailing driven by both advection and diffusion. Outflow concentration measured by spectrophotometer achieved 3 orders of magnitude in concentration range and showed good agreement with known models in the case of dispersion and diffusive mass transfer, with estimated parameters close to a priori predictions. Existing models for diffusive mass transfer did not fit the breakthrough curves from the intermediate-contrast chamber, but a model of slow advection through cylinders did. Thus, both breakthrough curves and chamber images confirm that different contrasts in small-scale K lead to different regimes of solute transport and thus require different models of upscaled soulte transport.

Rate constants for the reaction of MTBE with the hydroxyl radical, hydrated electron, and hydrogen atom were determined in aqueous solution at room temperature, using electron pulse radiolysis and absorption spectroscopy (•OH and e-aq) and EPR free induction decay attenuation (•H)measurements. The rate constant for hydroxyl radical reaction of (1.71 ± 0.02) × 109 M-1 s-1 showed that the oxidative process was the dominant pathway, relative to MTBE reaction with hydrogen atoms, (3.49 ± 0.06) × 106 M-1 s-1, or hydrated electrons, < 8.0 × 106 M-1 s-1. The hydroxyl radical reaction gives a transient carbon-centered radical which subsequently reacts with dissolved oxygen to form peroxyl radicals, the rate constant for this reaction was (2.17 ± 0.06) × 109 M-1 s-1. The second-order decay of the MTBE peroxyl radical was 2k = (6.0 ± 0.3) × 108 M-1 s-1. These rate constants, along with preliminary MTBE degradation product distribution measurements, were incorporated into a kinetic model that compared the predicted MTBE removal from water against experimental measurements performed under large-scale electron beam treatment conditions.

A computational framework supplies a software architecture along with a toolbox of advanced capabilities for the many mechanics-independent pieces of the software. These pieces include high-level concepts to support parallel communications, parallel transfer operators that support code coupling, and parallel mesh refinement and unrefinement services with dynamic load rebalancing. We describe these capabilities in the context of the SIERRA framework developed at Sandia National Laboratories. Numerical examples are given, demonstrating the use of framework services for developing a parallel coupled application and a parallel single-physics h-adaptive application.

In order to better understand processes that might occur during the migration of HLW through sediments and to estimate their extents, we studied the effects of Al-rich, alkaline and saline solutions on soil mineral dissolution and precipitation during reactive transport. Metal- and glass-free systems were used to conduct miscible-displacement experiments at 50 °C under CO2 and O2 free conditions. Results showed significant release of Si, K, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, and Ba into the aqueous phase. The transport-controlled release of these elements was time dependent as evidenced by its extent varying with the fluid residence time. Silica initial dissolution rates (6.08 × 10-11 and 5.38 × 10-13 mol m-2 s-1) increased with base concentration, decreased with Al concentration, and decreased with fluid residence time. Aluminum precipitation rates varied in the range from 0.44 to 1.07 × 10-6 mol s-1 and were faster in these column experiments than in previous batch studies. The initial rate constant of Al precipitation reaction was 0.07 h-1 (half-life of 9.9 h at about 3 PV); it increased up to 0.137 h-1 (half-life of 5.1 h at about 20 PV). The precipitates identified with SEM and suggested from the modeling results were mainly NO3-cancrinite. SEM analyses also indicated the formation of sodalite when Al was not present in the leaching solution. In addition, results from modeling suggested the precipitation of brucite, goethite and gibbsite; the latter may precipitate in the presence of high Al concentrations. Aqueous and solid phase transformations caused by base-induced dissolution and subsequent secondary phases precipitation should be important determinants of the fate of contaminants and radionuclides in the vadose zone under alkaline and saline conditions.

Experimentally, the molecules have four nonequivalent oxygens that differ considerably in reactivity both within a molecule, and between molecules in the series: Al13, GaAl12, and GeAl12 [MO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12n+(aq); with M = Al(III) for Al13, n = 7; M = Ga(III) for GaAl12, n = 7; M = Ge(IV) for GeAl12, n = 8]. We find that a partly dissociated, metastable intermediate molecule of expanded volume is necessary for exchange of both sets of μ2-OH and that the steady-state concentration of this intermediate reflects the bond strengths between the central metal and the μ4-O. Thus the central metal exerts extraordinary control over reactions at hydroxyl bridges, although these are three bonds away.This mechanism not only explains the reactivity trends for oxygen isotope exchange in μ2-OH and η-OH2 sites in the #x03B5;-Keggin aluminum molecules, but also explains the observation that the reactivities of minerals tend to reflect the presence of highly coordinated oxygens, such as the μ4-O in boehmite, α-, and γ-Al2O3 and their Fe(III) analogs. The partial dissociation of these highly coordinated oxygens, coupled with simultaneous activation and displacement of neighboring metal centers, may be a fundamental process by which metals atoms undergo ligand exchanges at mineral surfaces.

The anatomical surfaces are extracted by means of Level-Sets methods that accurately model the complex and varying surfaces of pathological objects such as aneurysms and stenoses. The surfaces obtained are defined at the sub-pixel level where they intersect the Cartesian grid of the image domain. It is therefore straightforward to construct embedded boundary representations of these objects on the same grid, for which recent work has enabled discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible fluids. While most classical techniques require construction of a structured mesh that approximates the surface in order to extrapolate a 3D finite-element gridding of the whole volume, our method directly simulates the blood flow inside the extracted surface without losing any complicated details and without building additional grids.

The analysis applies two approximations to the chemistry: global reaction balances and chemical equilibrium. The global reaction analysis provides theoretical upper limits on the process in the form of algebraic expressions involving the steam-to-carbon ratio and the oxygen-to-carbon ratio as process parameters. The equilibrium computations provide a more realistic estimate of the expected product composition and thermal efficiency of the process. The equilibrium predictions are compared to experimental data obtained using a first generation plasmatron reformer operated on diesel fuel. The efficiency of this compact reformer was considerably below the theoretical maximum.

To understand why curvature introduces a minimal effect on penetration hole size we extend a flat plate penetration hole diameter relationship ( Unpublished manuscript; Mechanics of Materials, in press) to include the effect of body curvature. The effect of the body curvature on the hole diameter is shown to scale according to the dimensionless plate thickness to radius of curvature of the body i.e. h/R, which is typically small. Indeed for most problems where a single layer shell (plate) can be meaningfully defined, the effect of curvature upon hole diameter is on the order of other uncertainties in the problem, e.g. doubts concerning the appropriate equation of state and strength model, and is often, therefore, negligible.

The fiber may either be broken or intact. Among other things, the model predicts residual stress and strain distribution after a cycle in the fiber and matrix. The development of the model is motivated by the recent measurement by Hanan et al. [Mater. Sci. Eng. A, in press], of elastic strain evolution with loading in each phase of an Al2O3/Al composite using neutron diffraction. The model also estimates two crucial in situ material parameters using these measurements, which cannot be obtained from bulk tests: the frictional threshold of the interface, and the in situ yield point of the matrix. With these parameters, the predicted elastic strain evolution with loading is in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Among other techniques, two time-of-flight setups had previously been used to determine ion velocities. These measurements showed significant discrepancies especially for some light cathode materials like carbon. To reconcile the differences, a thorough investigation was conducted using carbon as the cathode material. It is shown that systematic errors occur when the ion source time-of-flight system is not operated near perveance-matching conditions. The extracted ion beam is not parallel but divergent, and the Faraday cup detector measures only a fraction of the beam. In contrast, plasma source experiments without ion extraction are free of such distortions. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the average carbon ion energy has been determined to be in the range 18.5-20.5 eV for arc currents in the range 100-600 A, in agreement with previous plasma source measurements and other literature data.

Postannealing at temperatures above 300°C results in a significant decrease of the tunneling conductance of thermally grown barriers, while plasma-grown barriers start to change only at annealing temperatures above 450 °C. Fitting the experimental I- V curves of the junctions using the results of the microscopic theory of direct tunneling shows that the annealing of thermally grown oxides at temperatures above 300 °C results in a substantial increase of their average tunnel barriers height, from ∼ 1.8 eV to ∼ 2.45 eV, versus the practically unchanged height of ∼ 2.0 eV for plasma-grown layers. This difference, together with high endurance of annealed barriers under electric stress (breakdown field above 10 MV/cm) may enable all-AlOx and SiO2/AlOx layered "crested" barriers for advanced floating-gate memory applications.

When A-site vacancies are formed by La incorporation, the phase transition near 200 °C becomes pronounced. Hysteresis loop and ε (T) demonstrate that the structure above 200 °C is the incommensurate antiferroelectric phase. In contrast, B-site vacancies produced by La doping do not contribute to the incommensurate phase. The origin for the formation of the incommensurate antiferroelectric state between the rhombohedral ferroelectric phase and tetragonal paraelectric phase is discussed in a view of decoupling effects due to the A-site vacancies.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2004/07/15/ VL - 186 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 4748 EP - 4758 SN - 00219193 AB - A high-density oligonucleotide DNA microarray, a genechip, representing the 4.6-Mb genome of the facultative phototrophic proteobacterium, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1, was custom-designed and manufactured by Affymetrix, Santa Clara, Calif. The genechip contains probe sets for 4,292 open reading frames (ORFs), 47 rRNA and tRNA genes, and 394 intergenic regions. The probe set sequences were derived from the genome annotation generated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory after extensive revision, which was based primarily upon codon usage characteristic of this GC-rich bacterium. As a result of the revision, numerous missing ORFs were uncovered, nonexistent ORFs were deleted, and misidentified start codons were corrected. To evaluate R. sphaeroides transcriptome flexibility, expression profiles for three diverse growth modes—aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration in the dark, and anaerobic photosynthesis—were generated. Expression levels of onefifth to one-third of the R. sphaeroides ORFs were significantly different in cells under any two growth modes. Pathways involved in energy generation and redox balance maintenance under three growth modes were reconstructed. Expression patterns of genes involved in these pathways mirrored known functional changes, suggesting that massive changes in gene expression are the major means used by R. sphaeroides in adaptation to diverse conditions. Differential expression was observed for genes encoding putative new participants in these pathways (additional photosystem genes, duplicate NADH dehydrogenase, ATP synthases), whose functionality has yet to be investigated. The DNA microarray data correlated well with data derived from quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, as well as with data from the literature, thus validating the R. sphaeroides genechip as a powerful and reliable tool for studying unprecedented metabolic versatility of this bacterium.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/07/15/ VL - 121 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1214 EP - 1227 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Ab initio electronic structure approaches in which electron correlation explicitly appears have been the subject of much recent interest. Because these methods accelerate the rate of convergence of the energy and properties with respect to the size of the one-particle basis set, they promise to make accuracies of better than 1 kcal/mol computationally feasible for larger chemical systems than can be treated at present with such accuracy. The linear R12 methods of Kutzelnigg and co-workers are currently the most practical means to include explicit electron correlation. However, the application of such methods to systems of chemical interest faces severe challenges, most importantly, the still steep computational cost of such methods. Here we describe an implementation of the second-order Møller–Plesset method with terms linear in the interelectronic distances (MP2-R12) which has a reduced computational cost due to the use of two basis sets. The use of two basis sets in MP2-R12 theory was first investigated recently by Klopper and Samson and is known as the auxiliary basis set (ABS) approach. One of the basis sets is used to describe the orbitals and another, the auxiliary basis set, is used for approximating matrix elements occurring in the exact MP2-R12 theory. We further extend the applicability of the approach by parallelizing all steps of the integral-direct MP2-R12 energy algorithm. We discuss several variants of the MP2-R12 method in the context of parallel execution and demonstrate that our implementation runs efficiently on a variety of distributed memory machines. Results of preliminary applications indicate that the two-basis (ABS) MP2-R12 approach cannot be used safely when small basis sets (such as augmented double- and triple-ζ correlation consistent basis sets) are utilized in the orbital expansion. Our results suggest that basis set reoptimization or further modifications of the explicitly correlated ansatz and/or standard approximations for matrix elements are necessary in order to make the MP2-R12 method sufficiently accurate when small orbital basis sets are used.

Using a DMC trial function constructed as a product of Hartree–Fock and correlation functions, we have computed the barrier height, heat of reaction, atomization energies, and heats of formation of reagents and products. The DMC heat of reaction, atomization energies, and heats of formation are found to agree with experiment to within the error bounds of computation and experiment. Møller–Plesset second order perturbation theory (MP2) and density functional theory, the latter in the B3LYP generalized gradient approximation, are found to overestimate the experimental heat of reaction. Intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations at the MP2 level of theory demonstrate that the reaction is predominantly direct, i.e., proceeds without formation of intermediates, which is consistent with a recent molecular beam experiment. The reaction barrier as determined from MP2 calculations is found to be 2.24 kcal/mol and by DMC it is computed to be 2.39(49) kcal/mol. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The method involves direct summation of charged Debye–Hückel spheres composing the nanostructural surfaces and, by including charge redistribution on the surface of conducting materials held at constant potential, is applicable to mixed boundary conditions. The method is validated by comparison to analytical solutions for an infinite plane (Gouy–Chapman), an infinite cylinder (Bessel functions), and an infinite plane which contains a hole and which is held at constant potential. Excellent agreement between the potentials obtained by our numerical method and the closed form solutions is found for these conditions. The method is applied to the calculation of the electric field enhancement in the vicinity of a nanomembrane whose pore wall is held at constant charge and whose membrane surfaces are held at constant potential. The electric field is found to be enhanced by the charge buildup in the rim of the hole of the nanomembrane; the buildup results from the potential being held constant in the conducting region. Ion concentrations are also calculated. Positive ion rejection is found to be enhanced by this charge buildup in the region of the rim when a constant positive potential is applied.

The log-transformed saturated hydraulic conductivity f(x) and the soil pore size distribution parameter α(x) are assumed to be normal random functions with known covariances. We decompose f(x) and α(x) as infinite series in a set of orthogonal normal random variables by the Karhunen-Loeve expansion and expand the pressure head as polynomial chaos with the same set of orthogonal random variables. The perfectly correlated and uncorrelated cases between f(x) and α(x) are studied. By using the Karhunen-Loeve expansion of the input random parameters, polynomial chaos decomposition of pressure head, and the perturbation method, the saturated–unsaturated flow equation and the corresponding initial and boundary conditions are represented by a series of partial differential equations in which the dependent variables are the deterministic coefficients of the polynomial chaos expansion. Once the partial differential equations are solved subsequently by a numerical method, the random representation of pressure head is obtained by combining the deterministic coefficients obtained and the random variables from the Karhunen-Loeve expansion of the input random functions. The moments of pressure head and water content are determined directly from the random representation of the pressure head. We demonstrated the applicability of the proposed KL-based stochastic model with some examples of unsaturated and saturated–unsaturated flow in two dimensions, and compared the results with those from the moment-based stochastic model. It is shown that the KL-based models are more computationally efficient than the conventional moment-based models.

Its prior applications dealt with flows in porous media whose internal compositions are amenable to simple parameterizations. This study provides a means for probabilistic reconstruction of boundaries between geologic facies. We apply our general approach to multiple data sets to reconstruct highly permeable zones within an aquitard in the Bologna (Italy) aquifer system and demonstrate how it can be used in conjunction with RDD.

This previous work used RTILs with the hexafluorophosphate [PF6]- anion. However, the [PF6]- anion in the presence of water can break down into HF. In the current work, we studied RTIL-membranes made from the following water stable anions: bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide [Tf2N]-, trifluoromethanesulfone [CF3SO3]-, chloride [Cl]-, and dicyanamide [dca]-. We report CO2 permeabilities of 350 barrers (for [Cl]-) to 1000 barrers (for [Tf2N]-) combined with CO2/N2 ideal selectivities of 15 (for [Cl]-) to 61 (for [dca]-). Note that these permeability/selectivities place RTIL-membranes above the upper-bound in a CO2/N2 Robeson plot of representative polymers. The CO2/CH4 ideal selectivities range from 4 (for [Cl]-) to 20 (for [dca]-), thereby placing the [dca]-membrane above the upper-bound for the CO2/CH4 Robeson plot.

VOx/SBA-15 was prepared by a grafting/anion-exchange procedure. As a first step of the procedure, the inner pores of SBA-15 are functionalized via grafting of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. After formation of the corresponding ammonium salt, decavanadate (V10O286-) is incorporated into the pores by anion exchange. In the final step, calcination of the decavanadate precursor, yields the chemically bonded vanadia species. Using this approach, vanadium loadings of up to 22 wt % of V on SBA-15 were obtained. As followed by Raman spectroscopy, upon dehydration, the structure of the supported vanadia changes dramatically. Raman and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy under dehydrated conditions reveal the presence of different vanadia structures (monomers, polymers, and crystals) as a function of vanadium loading (0-22 wt % of V). The maximum coverage of vanadia species on SBA-15 is achieved at ~7.2 wt % of V (2.3 V/nm2). At loadings up to 7.2 wt % of V, the vanadia species are mainly present as isolated tetrahedral species, whereas at higher loadings V2O5 crystallites are formed, in addition to monomeric and polymeric vanadia species.

Recently, simple cluster models were used to identify a crucial intermediate species for the reaction. In this work, we address the problem of the initiation of the CO electrooxidation process by employing extended models. These extended models are aimed at representing the surface at full coverage, which is believed to be the condition of the physical system at reaction initiation. According to the models employed in this study, it is concluded that for the reaction to begin at reasonable strength of the potential bias a vacancy has to occur at a site adjacent to an adsorbed CO. Such vacancies can be produced either by the presence of surface defects or due to dynamical desorption of CO.

This technique combines high-resolution (ΔE ~1 eV) fluorescence detection of the 3p to 1s (Kβ) transition with the X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) at the Fe K-edge. An absorption-like spectrum is recorded by detecting the Kβ fluorescence intensity as a function of the incident energy that is scanned through the K absorption edge. Kβ-detected XANES spectra allow for a more precise separation of the weak K pre-edge structure from the main edge as compared to conventional absorption spectroscopy. Subsequent analysis and interpretation of the pre-edge spectral features therefore is more accurate. The pre-edge is sensitive to changes in the local coordination and oxidation state of Fe. Using this technique we were able to quantitatively determine the degree of iron extraction out of a zeolite framework upon steaming. With the use of appropriate reference compounds, the pre-edge analysis was used to monitor the activation of low-loaded, framework-substituted FeZSM-5 (0.3 wt % Fe). Template removal and calcination distort the zeolite framework and induce a deviation from Td symmetry for incorporated iron. The (deliberate) presence of water at high temperature (T > 500 °C) facilitates the hydrolysis of the Si-O-Fe bonds and increases the formation of extraframework iron species. The amount of FeIII occupying tetrahedral sites in the MFI-type zeolite decreases to 32% and 19%, respectively, for mild- and hard-steamed samples.

Lacking this knowledge, accurate models of surface frontogenesis are compromised. To address this problem, high-frequency measurements from sonic and hot-wire anemometers are used to analyze the finescale turbulence in the atmospheric surface layer (ASL) within a cold front observed in the MICROFRONTS field experiment. To quantify the turbulence in the front, velocity spectra and dissipation rates are calculated as functions of time and stability in the ASL. The normalized first and second moments of the one-dimensional velocity spectrum conform to the scaling suggested by Kolmogorov's equilibrium hypotheses, even during the intense turbulence associated with the frontal passage. The spectra compare well with other data collected at high Reλ in the ASL, but not as well with a recent model of the dissipative range of turbulence. Dissipation rate ε is calculated with one direct and two indirect techniques. The calculations from the different techniques compare well with one another and, when nondimensionalized, with a historical expression for dissipation rate as a function of ASL stability. The magnitude of the dissipation rate increases by an order of magnitude to a maximum value of ∼1.2 m2 s-3 during the frontal passage compared to prefrontal values of ∼0.05 m2 s-3; the latter is typical for a slightly stable nighttime boundary layer over land. These results can be used in assessing the effects of turbulence in traditional semigeostrophic models of frontal collapse. The dissipation rate calculations may be of particular use to modelers.

We use Rayleigh waves to measure in situ the elastic stiffness of elemental and alloy thin films while they are being deposited. Of special interest are changes in stiffness of the multilayer upon switching the deposition from one metal to another. For most film/substrate combinations, the stiffness changes abruptly, as found for Ir/Pd, Pd/Ag, Pd/Co, Au/Co, Ag/Pd, Ag/Co, and Pt/Pd interfaces. For other metal–metal combinations, the stiffness change shows transient effects. These changes reflect either an elastic softening, as found at Co/Pd, Co/Ag, Co/Au, Pd/Pt, and Ir/Pt interfaces, or an elastic stiffening, as found at Pd/Ir and Pt/Ir interfaces. The stiffening at Pd/Ir interfaces is studied in greater detail. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data are used in the interpretation of the results.

The amount of oxygen increased with decreasing particle size, which suggests the oxide is present as a surface film. Surface coatings were deposited using plasma arc spraying (PAS) in air and in an argon environment within an environmental chamber. The amount of amorphous phase was estimated for the gas atomized powders and plasma arc sprayed coatings. Despite the rapid solidification occurring during these two processing methods, substantial devitrification occurs in the high oxygen content powders and their associated coatings. Coatings deposited in air exhibit significantly more devitrification than their counterparts produced in the controlled environment chamber.

The coatings were fabricated on long-length superconducting tape substrates using a solution derived from Zr tetrabutoxide, solvent and chelating agent for high magnetic field magnets. The layer-on-layer growth behaviors were characterized by environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray maps and X-ray diffraction (XRD). This research showed that the ZrO2 coatings were regularly grown on Ag-based tape substrates and coating thickness increased with increasing number of dipping. It was found that ceramic oxides formed at temperature range 450 and 550 °C. The final coating thickness changed between 6 and 8 μm after annealing process. Resistance of insulation measured from surface and edge regions of the coatings were 14.06 and 13.95 MΩ, respectively. Critical current (Ic) of ZrO2/AgMg/Bi-2212 coils was found to be 110.9 A at 4.2 K using the 10-4 V/m criterion and in a background magnetic field of 19.2 T.

They have emerged over the past decade as a novel class of materials, with attractive properties and technological promise. The bulk metallic glasses so far produced contain three or more component elements. These complex compositions are necessary to frustrate the crystallization of the liquid melt on cooling, but can also lead to phase separation, which is detrimental to the thermal and mechanical properties of metallic glasses. Here we report, using X-ray diffraction measurements, the formation of a bulk metallic glass from elemental zirconium at high static pressures and low temperatures (relative to its melting temperature at atmospheric pressure). Amorphous zirconium can be recovered at ambient conditions and demonstrates a superior thermal stability compared to amorphous alloys, which could lead to new high-temperature applications of amorphous metals.

Interpretation of positional information is thought to rely on direct, concentration-threshold-dependent mechanisms for establishing multiple differential domains of target gene expression. In Drosophila, maternal gradients establish the initial position of boundaries for zygotic gap gene expression, which in turn convey positional information to pair-rule and segment-polarity genes, the latter forming a segmental pre-pattern by the onset of gastrulation. Here we report, on the basis of quantitative gene expression data, substantial anterior shifts in the position of gap domains after their initial establishment. Using a data-driven mathematical modelling approach, we show that these shifts are based on a regulatory mechanism that relies on asymmetric gap-gap cross-repression and does not require the diffusion of gap proteins. Our analysis implies that the threshold-dependent interpretation of maternal morphogen concentration is not sufficient to determine shifting gap domain boundary positions, and suggests that establishing and interpreting positional information are not independent processes in the Drosophila blastoderm.

It degrades directly to the fully oxidized form with a half-life time of 70 min at pH 8.0. The stability suggests an effective insulation for the active site in an extremely high oxidation state (Fe4+ with one oxidative equivalent nearby) against spontaneous electron leaks, which would dissipate proton motive force. The formation and degradation of the second intermediate are pH-dependent.

We found that in frozen RC crystals, QB occupies primarily the proximal binding site. In contrast, our room temperature structure showed that QB is largely in the distal position. Both data sets were collected in dark-adapted conditions. We estimate that the occupancy of the QB site is 80% with a proximal: distal ratio of 4:1 in frozen RC crystals. We could not separate the effect of freezing from the effect of the cryoprotectants ethylene glycol or glycerol. These results could have far-reaching implications in structure/function studies of electron transfer in the acceptor quinone complex because the above are the most commonly used cryoprotectants in spectroscopic experiments.

N-terminal to its catalytic kinase domain, CISK contains a phox homology (PX) domain, a phosphoinositide-binding motif that directs the membrane localization of CISK and regulates CISK activity. We have determined the crystal structures of the mouse CISK-PX domain to unravel the structural basis of membrane targeting of CISK. In addition to the specific interactions conferred by the phosphoinositide-binding pocket, the structure suggests that a hydrophobic loop region and a hydrophilic β-turn contribute to the interactions with the membrane. Furthermore, biochemical studies reveal that CISK-PX dimerizes in the presence of the linker between the PX domain and kinase domain, suggesting a multivalent mechanism in membrane localization of CISK.

The oceanic sink accounts for ∼48% of the total fossil-fuel and cement-manufacturing emissions, implying that the terrestrial biosphere was a net source of CO[sub 2] to the atmosphere of about 39 ± 28 petagrams of carbon for this period. The current fraction of total anthropogenic CO[sub 2] emissions stored in the ocean appears to be about one-third of the long-term potential.

Although there was remarkable correspondence between antigenic and genetic evolution, significant differences were observed: Antigenic evolution was more punctuated than genetic evolution, and genetic change sometimes had a disproportionately large antigenic effect. The method readily allows monitoring of antigenic differences among vaccine and circulating strains and thus estimation of the effects of vaccination. Further, this approach offers a route to predicting the relative success of emerging strains, which could be achieved by quantifying the combined effects of population level immune escape and viral fitness on strain evolution.

All of the dots had the same radius 0.5 μm, thickness 50–70 nm, and were arranged into rectangular or square array with different interdot separations. In the case of perpendicular magnetization multiple (up to 8) sharp resonance peaks were observed below the main FMR peak, and the relative positions of these peaks were independent of the interdot separations. Quantitative description of the observed multiresonance FMR spectra is given using the dipole-exchange spin wave dispersion equation for a perpendicularly magnetized film where in-plane wave vector is quantized due to the finite dot radius, and the inhomogenetiy of the intradot static demagnetization field in the nonellipsoidal dot is taken into account.

Finite-difference time-domain calculations, some explicitly including a model of the scanning tip, are used to interpret the results. We find the holes act as point-like sources of SPPs and demonstrate that the interference between the SPP and a directly transmitted wave allows determination of the wavelength, phase, and decay length of the SPP. The near-field intensity patterns can be manipulated by varying the angle and polarization of the incident beam.

One approach has been to use higher conductivity nanocrystalline layers to overcome the “higher contact resistance.” Recent measurements have found the ZnO–p-layer contact resistance to be unchanged relative to SnO2, while instead, the diode ideality factor is poorer on ZnO. We show that the insertion of a thin, amorphous germanium layer at the ZnO–p-layer interface improves the cell performance and diode ideality factor by suppression of oxygen and zinc incorporation in the silicon layers.

An empirical relationship was established between the Ti valence and the Ti K-edge onset based on a set of standards. This relationship was used to estimate oxidation states of the titanium catalyst in 2 and 4 mol % Ti-doped NaAlH4. The results demonstrate that the formal titanium valence is zero in doped sodium alanate and nearly invariant during hydrogen cycling. A qualitative comparison of the edge fine structure suggests that the Ti is present on the surface in the form of amorphous TiAl3.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/07/20/ VL - 43 IS - 28 M3 - Article SP - 9029 EP - 9035 SN - 00062960 AB - We have examined the C cluster in type II CO dehydrogenase (CODH) from Carboxydothermus hydrogenformans using Ni K-edge X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The enzyme was studied under three conditions: "as-isolated" and after treatment with CO or TiIII. The shape of the Ni K-edge changes slightly between the different conditions, but no significant edge shift is seen, suggesting that the C cluster contains NiII in both forms. The Ni EXAFS of as-isolated CODH can be simulated with 4 Ni-S interactions at 2.20 Å with a large spread in distances. A light atom (C, N, O) is not required to fit the spectrum. After CO treatment, significant changes are observed in the EXAFS. A new feature appears at ∼2.7 Å this component is consistent with a Ni-Fe interaction. The average Ni-S distance also expands to ∼2.25 Å. The changes between the two forms suggest that the active site (C cluster) undergoes structural rearrangement after CO treatment, and the observed changes help reconcile the two different crystal structures. The implications of the structural change for the enzyme activation and mechanism are discussed.

In order to ascertain the effect of pore size on rates of hydroformylation catalysis both 35 and 45 Å pore size materials were used. Using the hydroformylation of octene as a reference reaction, the phosphine based, 45 Å catalysts were 1.5–1.3 times faster than the amine based, 45 Å catalysts, and the 45 Å materials were 2.6–2.1 times faster than the 35 Å materials. The orientation of the catalyst relative to the functionalized surface, and the steric environment around the catalyst active site appear to be significant in determining rate of reaction. The ability of the surface bound phosphine catalysts to affect hydroformylation was strongly influenced by the steric constraints of the substrate. Terminal alkenes were readily hydroformylated and norbornene was slowly hydroformylated, but pinene, trans-cyclododecene, cyclohexene and cholesterol were nonreactive to the catalytic center.

In this paper we describe the repair paradigm and prove several theorems which form a theoretical foundation for the repair procedures. We consider two applications of repair and present corresponding numerical results. The first application deals with improving properties of the remapping (conservative interpolation) stage of arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) methods for the gas dynamics equations, in which the solution is conservatively transferred from one mesh to another. One requirement for remapping is that the interpolated density and internal energy on the new mesh have to stay positive. Another desirable property is that the remapping procedure should not create new extrema for the velocity field. For various reasons these properties may not be satisfied, especially for high-order methods. Repair plays a supplemental role by bringing gas dynamics quantities into physically justified bounds. Another application of repair is to improve the quality of numerical methods for advection of some scalar tracer field with prescribed divergence-free velocity field, in which case the advection equation can be written as a conservation law, and therefore the total amount of tracer is conserved. We show how the repair procedure allows us to reduce oscillations in a numerical solution obtained by a formally high-order method. Repair offers an alternative to more classical methods of reducing oscillations and maintaining positivity.

The model, which is based on a particle-in-cell method, uses a new developed shifted effective Green function algorithm for the efficient calculation of the beam–beam interaction with arbitrary separation and large aspect ratio. The model uses transfer maps to treat the external focusing elements and a stochastic map to treat radiation damping and quantum excitation of the beams. In the parallel implementation we studied various strategies to deal with the particular nature of the colliding beam system – a system in which there can be significant particle movement between beam–beam collisions. We chose a particle-field decomposition approach instead of the conventional domain decomposition or particle decomposition approach. The particle-field approach leads to good load balance, reduced communication cost, and shows the best scalability on an IBM SP3 among the three parallel implementations we studied. A performance test of the beam–beam model on a Cray T3E, IBM SP3, and a PC cluster is presented. As an application, we studied the flip–flop instability in an electron–positron collider.

Its 14 genes are unusually arranged into two groups, one on each strand. One group is punctuated by numerous noncoding intergenic nucleotides although the other group is tightly packed, having no noncoding nucleotides, leading to speculation that there are two transcription units with differing modes of expression. The phylogenetic position of the Chaetognatha within the Metazoa has long been uncertain, with conflicting or equivocal results from various morphological analyses and rRNA sequence comparisons. Comparisons here of amino acid sequences from mitochondrially encoded proteins give a single most parsimonious tree that supports a position of Chaetognatha as sister to the protostomes studied here. From this analysis, one can more clearly interpret the patterns of evolution of various developmental features, especially regarding the embryological fate of the blastopore.

X-ray standing waves, low-energy electron diffraction, temperature-programmed desorption, and Auger electron spectroscopy show a relatively poorly-ordered surface. The disorder is due to two nearly degenerate Te adsorption sites, which tends to double the periodicity along one direction of the surface and reduces adatom/substrate mismatch by slightly increasing the separation of adjacent Te atoms. High-temperature anneals around 575 °C increase the degree of local and long-range order, while leaving the average local structure unchanged. Our findings are consistent with recent ab initio molecular dynamics simulations but not with experimental studies wherein surfaces were prepared by desorption of CdTe films.

It combines the hybrid qualities of B3LYP and the long-range correction presented by Tawada et al. [J. Chem. Phys., in press]. We demonstrate that CAM-B3LYP yields atomization energies of similar quality to those from B3LYP, while also performing well for charge transfer excitations in a dipeptide model, which B3LYP underestimates enormously. The CAM-B3LYP functional comprises of 0.19 Hartree–Fock (HF) plus 0.81 Becke 1988 (B88) exchange interaction at short-range, and 0.65 HF plus 0.35 B88 at long-range. The intermediate region is smoothly described through the standard error function with parameter 0.33.

The main problem with large signals, typically obtained with protons, is non-linearity arising from failure of the constant RF drive current assumption. The non-linearity can be reduced by operation at lower than normal signal levels. With the much smaller size deuteron signals, a limiting factor may be the instability of the background signal generated by the resonant length cable, used in the standard system. A new system is demonstrated, using non-resonant length cables, which is expected to reduce these uncertainties to a low level.

Results are presented for 2.5, 14.1, and 14.9 MeV incident neutrons. We show that the energy resolution for 14.1 MeV neutrons is at least 2.9% (as limited by the energy spread of the incident neutrons), and perhaps as good as 0.4% (as extrapolated from high resolution α-particle data). This result could be relevant to fusion neutron spectroscopy at machines like the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. We also show that our sensor has a high neutron linear attenuation coefficient, due to the high atomic density of diamond, and this could lead to applications in fission neutron detection.

Uniform NMR spin–spin relaxation time (T2) profiles were observed across the sample thickness indicating that the drying process is approximately uniform, and that the desiccation of the silicone copolymer is not a H2O diffusion limited process. In a P2O5 desiccation environment, significant reduction of T2 was observed for the SiO2-filled and unfilled copolymer material for desiccation up to 225 days. A very small reduction in T2 was observed for the unfilled copolymer between 225 and 487 days. The increase in relative stiffness with desiccation was found to be higher for the unfilled copolymer.

Chloroacetaldehyde (CH2ClCHO) was used as a photolytic precursor to the vinoxy radical in its ground state; photodissociation of chloroacetaldehyde at 193 nm produces vinoxy radicals with internal energies spanning the G3//B3LYP calculated barriers to the two available unimolecular reaction channels. The onset of the CH3+CO channel, via isomerization to the acetyl radical, was found to occur at an internal energy of 41±2 kcal/mol, agreeing well with our calculated isomerization barrier of 40.8 kcal/mol. Branching to the H+ketene channel was too small to be detected; we conclude that the branching to the H+ketene channel must be at least a factor of 200 lower than what is predicted by a RRKM analysis based on our electronic structure calculations. This dramatic result may be explained in part by the presence of a conical intersection at planar geometries along the reaction coordinate leading to H+ketene, which results in electronically nonadiabatic recrossing of the transition state. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In addition, single-component MD simulations and adsorption isotherms generated using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations were performed to support the mixture simulations. The goal of this study was to determine the best membrane material to carry out hydrogen/methane separations. ETS-10 has a three-dimensional pore network. ETS-4 and zorite have two-dimensional pore networks. The simulations carried out in this study show that the increased porosity of ETS-10 results in self-diffusion coefficients for both hydrogen and methane that are higher in ETS-10 than in either ETS-4 or zorite. Methane only showed appreciable displacement in ETS-10. The ability of the methane molecules to move in all three directions in ETS-10 was demonstrated by the high degree of isotropy shown in the values of the x, y, and z components of the self-diffusion coefficient for methane in ETS-10. From our simulations we conclude that ETS-10 would be better suited for fast industrial separations of hydrogen and methane. However, the separation would not result in a pure hydrogen stream. In contrast, ETS-4 and zorite would act as true molecular sieves for separations of hydrogen and methane, as the methane would not move through membranes made of these materials. This was indicated by the near-zero self-diffusion coefficient of methane in ETS-4 and zorite. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07/22/ VL - 108 IS - 29 M3 - Article SP - 10266 EP - 10283 SN - 15206106 AB - Formation of DNA adducts by various carcinogens represents the first critical event in the mechanism of tumor initiation. The carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are biologically activated by two major mechanisms: one-electron oxidation to produce radical cations and monooxygenation to form bay-region diol epoxides. The PAH-DNA adducts formed by these mechanisms are stable adducts that remain in DNA unless removed by repair and depurinating adducts that are lost from DNA by cleavage of the glycosyl bond. Identification of PAH-DNA adducts has relied heavily on low-temperature, laser-based fluorescence spectroscopy under non-line-narrowing (NLN) and line-narrowing (FLN) conditions. These spectroscopies can be used for chemical identification, conformational analysis, and/or probing the microenvironment of DNA (or protein) adducts. Small and co-workers have pioneered the use of FLN spectroscopy in this research. For example, the structures of the depurinating adducts formed by the PAHs benzo[a]pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene have been elucidated. Understanding of the mechanism of tumor initiation by PAHs has relied on identifying and quantifying the DNA adducts formed. The insights gained from the study of PAH-DNA adducts enabled us to discover the estrogen metabolites that form depurinating DNA adducts and can be potential endogenous initiators of human cancer. Small and co-workers have also studied the estrogen-DNA adducts and estrogen-thioether conjugates by using FLNS and related luminescence-based techniques and have demonstrated that the level of the 4-hydroxyestrone-1-N3-adenine depurinating adduct in breast tissue from a woman with breast carcinoma was significantly higher than that in breast tissue from women without breast cancer. The fluorescence- and phosphorescence-based techniques they are developing will be applied to analyzing estrogen adducts and conjugates as biomarkers of susceptibility to breast and other types of human cancer.

Our data are consistent with earlier two-photon fluorescence excitation spectra1,2 and lead to the conclusion that, for peridinin in methanol solution, a separate two-photon-allowed transition exists just to the red of the strongly allowed S0 - S2(Bu+) band. In the PCP complex, two-photon excitation at 1150 nm can also be interpreted as preparing a new state. In both cases, the new state is most likely the S1(Ag-) state. It is not yet possible to conclude experimentally whether peridinin possesses a single low lying state with solvent dependent properties or two distinct states, the Ag- and the charge transfer states.

T1 - Evidence for Highly Dispersive Primary Charge Separation Kinetics and Gross Heterogeneity in the Isolated PS II Reaction Center of Green Plants. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07/22/ VL - 108 IS - 29 M3 - Article SP - 10346 EP - 10356 SN - 15206106 AB - Despite the availability of an X-ray structure and many spectroscopic studies, important issues related to structural heterogeneity, excitonic structure, primary charge separation (CS), and excitation energy transfer dynamics of the isolated reaction center (RC) of photosystem II (PS II) remain unresolved. The issues addressed here include (1) whether the primary CS kinetics at low temperatures are highly dispersive (due to structural heterogeneity), as proposed by Prokhorenko and Holzwarth (J. Phys. Chem. B 2000, 104, 11563), and (2) the nature of the weak lowest-energy Qy absorption band at ~684 nm that appears as a shoulder on the intense primary electron donor band (P680). Results of low-temperature nonphotochemical hole burning (NPHB) and triplet bottleneck hole burning (TBHB) spectroscopic experiments (including effects of pressure and external electric (Stark) fields) are presented for the RC from spinach with one of the two peripheral chlorophylls removed. Both NPHB and TBHB are observed with excitations within the P680 and 684 nm bands. Both types of hole spectra exhibit a weak dependence on the burn wavelength (λB) between 680 and 686 nm. Furthermore, the permanent dipole moment change (f Δμ), as determined by Stark-NPHB spectroscopy, is identical (0.9 ± 0.1 D) for the two bands, as are the linear electron-phonon coupling parameters (Huang-Rhys factors S17 = 0.7 and S80 = 0.2 for 17 and 80 cm-1 phonons). These similarities, together with published fluorescence line narrowed spectra lead us to favor the gross heterogeneity model in which the 684 nm band is the primary electron donor band (P684) of a subset of RCs that may be more intact than P680-type RCs. It is concluded, based also on the linear pressure shift rates for the P680 and 684 nm bands, that population of either P680* (* ≡ Qy state) or P684* results in both TBHB (due to charge recombination of the primary radical ion pair) and NPHB. It was found that the values of parameters (e.g., electron-phonon coupling, site distribution function) used to simulate the NPHB spectra also provided reasonable fits to the TBHB spectra. Acceptable theoretical simulations of the line-narrowed TBHB spectra were not possible using a single primary CS time. However, satisfactory fits (including λB and burn intensity dependences) were achieved using a distribution of CS times. The observed TBHB is due to P680- and P684-type RCs with the faster CS kinetics since the persistent nonphotochemical holes were saturated prior to measuring the TBHB spectra. (RCs exhibiting the most efficient NPHB have slower CS kinetics as well as higher fluorescence quantum yields.) For the TBHB spectra, the same distribution (Weibull) was used for the P680- and P684-type RCs. The distribution describes quite well the distribution of Prokhorenko and Holzwarth for CS times shorter than 25 ps. Finally, the data indicate that electron exchange contributes only weakly (relative to electrostatics) to the inter-pigment excitonic interactions.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07/22/ VL - 108 IS - 29 M3 - Article SP - 10357 EP - 10362 SN - 15206106 AB - In a hybridized microchannel made of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and glass, nonuniform electroosmotic flow (EOF) was created when an electric field was applied. PDMS and glass pieces were bonded at room temperature after oxidization with oxygen plasma. After oxidization, the PDMS surface has a higher zeta (ζ) potential than that of glass, which results in faster EOF at that surface. When the channel has a large aspect ratio (width ≫ depth), the EOF can be considered as a two-dimensional gradient shear flow. By using a scanning confocal fluorescence microscope, we demonstrated that negatively charged DNA molecules were focused by the nonuniform EOF and the electric field into a thin layer at the glass surface of about one-fifth of the channel depth. This phenomenon was applied to selectively detect target DNA molecules using evanescent-field excitation. Streptavidin-conjugated quantum dots (QD) were used to selectively bind biotinylated DNA. After applying an electric field, free QD remained randomly distributed within the channel. Nonbiotinylated DNA molecules were focused onto the glass surface, but they were not labeled and thus nonfluorescent. Therefore, the increase in molecule count after application of the electric field can be solely attributed to QD-DNA complexes which were focused onto the glass surface. This method does not require the separation of excessive probes (QD) and can be operated continuously to achieve high throughput.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07/22/ VL - 108 IS - 29 M3 - Article SP - 10515 EP - 10521 SN - 15206106 AB - Previously, Stark hole-burning spectroscopy and effects of pressure at low temperature were used to determine the number of red antenna states of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus and Synechocystis PCC6803 (Hayes, J. M.; Matsuzaki, S.; Rätsep, M.; Small, G. J. J. Phys. Chem. B 2000 104, 5625. Zazubovich, V.; Matsuzaki, S.; Johnson, T. W.; Hayes, J. M.; Chitnis, P. R.; Small Chem. Phys. 2002, 275, 47). Distinct differences in linear pressure shift rates, the magnitude of the permanent dipole moment change, fΔμ, and electron-phonon coupling strength clearly show that in Synechococcus there are three red states (C708, C715, and C719), whereas in Synechocystis, there are two red states (C708 and C714). In the Stark hole-burning spectra of the lowest states of these two systems, hole splitting was not observed, only hole broadening, for excitation polarization both parallel and perpendicular to the Stark field direction. The theories of Stark hole burning predict that splitting should occur for one of the polarizations unless there is a large, random component to the induced dipole moment change, Δμind, which is not expected to be the case for pigment-protein complexes in which the orientations of pigments relative to the protein matrix are nonrandom. In this paper, Stark hole burning at higher resolution is used to reinvestigate the absence of splitting. However, even at higher resolution, no splitting is detected. This is explained by invoking large variations of the inherent dipole moment change Δμ0 of the dimer (the origin of the red-state absorption) rather than of the induced dipole moment change. These arise from a distribution of the relative orientations and separations between the components of the dimer. This distribution also results in a random component of the polarizability change tensor, Δα. The random components of Δμ0 and Δα not only obscure the Stark splitting but also cause the large inhomogeneous broadening observed for these lowest-energy red states. Temperature-dependent hole widths were also measured for C708 and C714 of Synechocystis. For C714, a T1.3 temperature dependence was observed, consistent with dephasing by the disordered protein matrix. At 708 nm, however, much higher fluences were required to saturate the absorption of the blue edge of the C714 band and then begin to burn C708. The contribution of the C708 component to the broadening was weakly temperature dependent over the range measured, 2 to 14 K. This contribution is due to energy transfer from C708 to C714, and the width measured corresponds to an energy-transfer time of 6 ps. This observation provides further proof of the existence of two red antenna states, C708 and C714.

Such control would be invaluable for nanoscopic spin electronics, quantum information processing using individual electron spin qubits and magnetic resonance imaging of single molecules. There have been several examples of magnetic resonance detection of a single-electron spin in solids. Spin resonance of a nitrogen-vacancy defect centre in diamond has been detected optically, and spin precession of a localized electron spin on a surface was detected using scanning tunnelling microscopy. Spins in semiconductors are particularly attractive for study because of their very long decoherence times. Here we demonstrate electrical sensing of the magnetic resonance spin-flips of a single electron paramagnetic spin centre, formed by a defect in the gate oxide of a standard silicon transistor. The spin orientation is converted to electric charge, which we measure as a change in the source/drain channel current. Our set-up may facilitate the direct study of the physics of spin decoherence, and has the practical advantage of being composed of test transistors in a conventional, commercial, silicon integrated circuit. It is well known from the rich literature of magnetic resonance studies that there sometimes exist structural paramagnetic defects near the Si/SiO2 interface. For a small transistor, there might be only one isolated trap state that is within a tunnelling distance of the channel, and that has a charging energy close to the Fermi level.

The ability to manipulate UCN with material guides and bottles, magnetic fields, and gravity can lead to experiments with lower systematic errors than have been obtained in experiments with cold neutron beams. The UCN densities provided by existing reactor sources limit these experiments. The promise of much higher densities from solid deuterium sources has led to proposed facilities coupled to both reactor and spallation neutron sources. In this Letter we report on the performance of a prototype spallation neutron-driven solid deuterium source. This source produced bottled UCN densities of 145±7 UCN/cm3, about three times greater than the largest bottled UCN densities previously reported. These results indicate that a production UCN source with substantially higher densities should be possible.

Here, results from proteomic characterization of host response following exposure to Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, and to two near neighbors, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica, are reported. Human monocyte-like cells were chosen as a model for macrophage immune response to pathogen exposure. Two-dimensional electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry was used to identify host proteins with differential expression following exposure to these three closely related Yersinia species. This comparative proteomic characterization of host response clearly shows that host protein expression patterns are distinct for the different pathogen exposures, and contributes to further understanding of Y. pestis virulence and host defense mechanisms. This work also lays the foundation for future studies aimed at defining biomarkers for presymptomatic detection of plague.

To help define the molecular (biochemical and biophysical) function of MJ0936, we determined its crystal structure at 2.4-Å resolution and performed a series of biochemical screens for catalytic activity. The overall fold of this single domain protein consists of a four-layered structure formed by two β-sheets flanked by a-helices on both sides. The crystal structure suggested its biochemical function to be a nuclease, phosphatase, or nucleotidase, with a requirement for some metal ions. Crystallization in the presence of Ni2+ or Mn2+ produced a protein containing a binuclear metal center in the putative acrive site formed by a cluster of conserved residues. Analysis of MJ0936 against a panel of general enzymatic assays revealed catalytic activity toward bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate, an indicator substrate for phosphodiesterases and nucleases. Significant activity was also found with two other phosphodiesterase substrates, thymidine 5'-monophosphate p-nitrophenyl ester and p-nitrophenylphosphorylcholine, but no activity was found for cAMP or cGMP. Phosphodiesterase activity of MJ0936 had an absolute requirement for divalent metal ions with Ni2+ and Mn2+ being most effective. Thus, our structural and enzymatic studies have identified the biochemical function of MJ0936 as that of a novel phosphodiesterase.

Experimental data were acquired by frontal analysis (FA) for phenol in equilibrium between C18-bonded Symmetry and a methanol:water mixture (20:80, v/v), at 303 K and a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The fluctuations of the experimental parameters were 0.1 K for the temperature, 0.1% for the mobile phase composition and 0.001 mL/min for the flow rate. The best isotherm model was shown to be the tri-Langmuir isotherm. Random errors were calculated and shown to agree with experimental results. Overloaded band profiles of phenol were acquired at low (sample size, 100 μL, concentration 3 g/L) and high (same sample size, concentration 60 g/L) loadings, at seven temperatures (298, 300, 302, 303, 304, 306, and 308 K), for seven mobile phase compositions (methanol 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 24%), and with seven mobile phase flow rates (0.95, 0.97, 0.99, 1.00, 1.01, 1.03, and 1.05 mL/min), always keeping two experimental parameters at the values selected for the FA runs. Assuming that the isotherm model stays the same, the inverse method (IM) was used to derive the isotherm parameters in each case. Temperature affects the equilibrium constants according to Van’t Hoff law. A temperature change of 1 K around 303 K causes a relative variation of 1.5% of the high-energy adsorption constant b3 and of 0.6% of the saturation capacity q3. The isotherm parameters are very sensitive to the mobile phase composition, especially the highest energy mode. Both adsorption constants b2 and b3 follow the linear strength solvent model (LSSM). A methanol volume fraction change of 1% causes a relative decrease of 3.2 and 5.0% of b2 and b3, respectively and a 2% decrease of the saturation capacity q3. Finally, flow rate changes affect only the saturation capacities. A flow rate change of 1% causes a 2% change in the saturation capacity parameters.

It prevents multiple cycles of replication per cell cycle and prevents episome replication. It also directly inhibits the HoxA11 transcription factor. Here we report that geminin forms a parallel coiled-coil homodimer with atypical residues in the dimer interface. Point mutations that disrupt the dimerization abolish interaction with Cdt1 and inhibition of replication. An array of glutamic acid residues on the coiled-coil domain surface interacts with positive charges in the middle of Cdt1. An adjoining region interacts independently with the N-terminal 100 residues of Cdt1. Both interactions are essential for replication inhibition. The negative residues on the coiled-coil domain and a different part of geminin are also required for interaction with HoxA11. Therefore a rigid cylinder with negative surface charges is a critical component of a bipartite interaction interface between geminin and its cellular targets.

Measured in samples from bedrock fluvial terraces, 10-beryllium shows that both the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers incised 10- to 20-meter-deep gorges along steep, convex lower reaches during the last glacial cycle. This short-lived pulse of unusually rapid downcutting ended by 13,000 to 14,000 years ago. The timing and rate of downcutting are similar on the glaciated Susquehanna and unglaciated Potomac Rivers, indicating that regional changes, not simply glacial meltwater, initiated incision.

Subsequent thermal pretreatment caused the Fe to migrate from the lattice and become stabilized at cation-exchange sites associated with framework Al atoms. The interactions of CH4, N2O, and methanol with this material were investigated by IR spectroscopy and temperature-programmed reactions methods. Upon exposure of thermally pretreated Fe/Al-MFI to methanol, the Brønsted acid protons and hydroxyl groups associated with Si and Fe reacted to form surface methoxy groups. Separate infrared features were observed for methoxy species bound to Si and Fe. Exposure of Fe/Al-MFI to CH4 and N2O above ∼448 K resulted in the formation of methoxy groups bound to both Fe and Si and the simultaneous loss of hydroxyl groups associated with both elements. The formation of methoxy groups was not observed on either Al-MFI or Fe-MFI, suggesting that the active sites in the oxidation of CH4 to methoxy species by N2O are extraframework Fe atoms associated with framework Al. The methoxy groups residing on the catalyst decomposed when the temperature was raised above 523 K and no methanol was observed in the products; however, when the methoxy groups reacted with H2O at 523 K, these groups were rapidly hydrolyzed to form methanol. For Fe/Al-MFI, small amounts of methanol were observed when CH4 and N2O reacted over Fe/Al-MFI at temperatures above 523 K, but the selectivity to this product was less than 2%, the majority of the CH4 undergoing combustion.

In this article, we speculate that two competing forces drive these transitions. One is “mechanical” in nature and it takes the cubic austenite structure of NiTi to a denser packing arrangement. The other one appears to be “electronic” in nature and it modifies the cubic austenite structure by correlated “Jahn–Teller” type distortions, and perhaps a fluctuation of charge density.

Starting from this, Ni48.5-xTi51.5Irx alloys with x=0, 2.5, 5 and 10 at.% and a Ni49.5Ti48Ir2.5 alloy have been prepared by arc melting in an argon atmosphere in order to investigate the effect of the substitution on the martensitic transformation. The microstructural characterisation of the samples was mainly done by DSC measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).In accordance with the phase diagram, the binary Ni48.5Ti51.5 alloy contains Ti2Ni precipitates and the matrix exhibits a martensitic phase transformation from the B2-phase to the monoclinic B19′-phase. TEM investigations on the x=2.5 and 5 at.% Ir samples show that precipitates of type Ti2(Ni+Ir)1 are present. Upon cooling these samples, a two-step martensitic transformation occurs from the B2-phase to R-phase to B19′-phase. The martensite start temperature of the B19′-phase decreases with increasing Ir content and, in the vicinity of x=10 at.% Ir, the martensitic phase transformation disappears completely.In a Ni49.5Ti48Ir2.5 alloy quenched from T=1000 °C, only the B2-phase is present. Aging this alloy at T=500 °C for t=100 h leads mainly to the growth of (Ni+Ir)4Ti3 precipitates in a B2-type matrix. In addition, a few (Ni+Ir)3Ti2 precipitates can be found.

Cu-poor CIS (CIGS) materials show an increase in band gap due to the reduction in repulsion between Cu 3d and Se 4p states. The experimental results have important implications for the function of polycrystalline optoelectronic devices.

The mechanisms responsible for this Jc–t behavior remain unclear. To probe the correlation between the film microstructure and Jc-thickness behavior, we have deposited YBCO thick films up to 3.0 μm in thickness on flat and surface-miscut (100) SrTiO3 substrates with 5°, 10°, and 15° vicinal angles. The microstructures of the YBCO films were found to evolve differently on flat and miscut substrates, resulting in different Jc–t behaviors. Surprisingly the small miscut angles of 5°–10° were favorable to obtain higher Jc and smaller Jc reduction at larger film thickness.

A thin, nonstoichiometric, but Hf-free SiO2 layer forms between the HfO2 dielectric and the substrate, consistent with one-dimensional spinodal decomposition. Rapid thermal annealing crystallizes the HfO2, and the resulting grain boundaries within the HfO2 are found to be O-depleted, with localized states within the bandgap. These localized states are thought to act as significant leakage pathways, and may be responsible for Fermi-level pinning at the dielectric/contact interface.

Its structure, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, is tetragonal P4/mmm (No. 123) with Z = 1 and has the lattice parameters a = 4.200(8) and c = 8.080(8) Å. Refinement based on Fo² yielded R1 = 0.0197 and wR2 = 0.020 [/> 2σ(/)]. The compound adopts a structure type previously observed in SrAu2Ga5 and EuAu2Ga5. The atomic arrangement is closely related to the one in BaAl4 as well as in other rare-earth gallide compounds such as LaNi0.6Ga6, HoCoGa5, Ce4Ni2Ga20, Ce4Ni2Ga17, Ce4NiGa18, and Ce3Ni2Ga15.. This structure exhibits a large open cavity which may be filled by a guest atom. Band structure calculations using density functional theory have been carried out to understand the stability of this new compound.

T1 - Background radioactivity in sediments near Los Alamos, New Mexico JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2004/07/26/ VL - 328 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 159 SN - 00489697 AB - River and reservoir sediments have been collected annually by Los Alamos National Laboratory since 1974 and 1979, respectively. These background samples are collected from five river stations and four reservoirs located throughout northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Analyses include 3H, 90Sr, 137Cs, total U, 238Pu, 239,240Pu, 241Am, gross alpha, gross beta, and gross gamma radioactivity. Surprisingly, there are no federal or state regulatory standards in the USA that specify how to compute background radioactivity values on sediments. Hence, the sample median (or 0.50 quantile) is proposed for this background because it reflects central data tendency and is distribution-free. Estimates for the upper limit of background radioactivity on river and reservoir sediments are made for sampled analytes using the 0.95 quantile (two-tail). These analyses also show that seven of ten analytes from reservoir sediments are normally distributed, or are normally distributed after a logarithmic or square root transformation. However, only three of ten analytes from river sediments are similarly distributed. In addition, isotope ratios for 137Cs/238Pu, 137Cs/239,240Pu, and 239,240Pu/238Pu from reservoir sediments are independent of clay content, total organic carbon/specific surface area (TOC/SSA) and cation exchange capacity/specific surface area (CEC/SSA) ratios. These TOC/SSA and CEC/SSA ratios reflect sediment organic carbon and surface charge densities that are associated with radionuclide absorption, adsorption, and ion exchange reactions on clay mineral structures. These latter ratio values greatly exceed the availability of background radionuclides in the environment, and insure that measured background levels are a maximum. Since finer-grained reservoir sediments contain larger clay-sized fractions compared to coarser river sediments, they show higher background levels for most analytes. Furthermore, radioactivity values on reservoir sediments have remained relatively constant since the early 1980s. These results suggest that clay contents in terrestrial sediments are often more important at concentrating background radionuclides than many other environmental factors, including geology, climate and vegetation. Hence, reservoirs and floodplains represent ideal radionuclide sampling locations because fine-grained materials are more easily trapped here. Ultimately, most of these differences still reflect spatial and temporal variability originating from global atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and disintegration of nuclear-powered satellites upon atmospheric reentry.

The refined lattice parameters for the tetragonal NaAlD4 structure are found to be a=5.010 Å and c=11.323 Å, while those of the monoclinic Na3AlD6 structure are a=5.402 Å, b=5.507 Å, c=7.725 Å, and β=89.491°. Results of ab initio calculations of the lattice parameters are within a few percent of the Rietveld-refined values. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) is found to produce significantly better agreement with the experimental data than the local-density approximation (LDA), which is attributed to a very inhomogeneous distribution of electronic density in the alanates. The Rietveld refinement, LDA, and GGA results for the Al–H bond length in NaAlD4 are 1.626, 1.634, and 1.631 Å, respectively. Refined values of the Al–H bond lengths in Na3AlD6, are in agreement within 2% of earlier work on undoped Na3AlD6 [J. Alloy Comp. 299 (1–2) (2000) 101]. The calculated GGA formation energies for the decomposition reactions of NaAlD4 and Na3AlD6 are 33.5 and 49.9 kJ/mol of H2, respectively. The corresponding LDA values are significantly higher: 44.6 and 70.3 kJ/mol of H2. Comparison with the experimental enthalpy data suggests that the GGA results are in a very good agreement with the measured ΔH [Proceedings of the 1999 DOE Hydrogen Program Annual Peer Review, NREL/CP-570-26938; J. Alloy Comp. 302 (1–2) (2000) 36]. Detailed theoretical analyses of the electronic band structure, valence charge density distribution, and lattice bonding properties are given.

Similar to the parent compounds UCoAl and UCoSn, the magnetization of their solid solution exhibits uniaxial anisotropy with a strong magnetic response along the c-axis and a weak and nearly temperature independent paramagnetic signal in the basal plane. The evolution of the c-axis magnetization isotherms, as well as the anomalies in the temperature dependence of the specific heat and resistivity point to ferromagnetism in UCoAl0.75Sn0.25 below TC≈5.5 K. The low value of the spontaneous magnetic moment, poor saturation of the magnetization, the pronounced negative magnetoresistance with increasing magnetic field and the temperature and magnetic field dependence of specific heat provide indications of strong fluctuations of the U magnetic moment also in the ferromagnetic state.

One of the earliest patterns that emerged was the linear scaling of the superfluid density (?s) with the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), which marks the onset of phase coherence. This is referred to as the Uemura relation, and it works reasonably well for the underdoped materials. It does not, however, describe optimally doped (where Tc is a maximum) or overdoped materials. Similarly, an attempt to scale the superfluid density with the d.c. conductivity (sdc) was only partially successful. Here we report a simple scaling relation (?s?sdcTc, with sdc measured at approximately Tc) that holds for all tested high-Tc materials. It holds regardless of doping level, nature of dopant (electrons versus holes), crystal structure and type of disorder, and direction (parallel or perpendicular to the copper-oxygen planes).

Interactions between material particles are modeled using a cohesive force law while microstructural resistance to relaxation is represented by a phenomenological continuum viscosity function. The model exhibits two failure mechanisms, elastic bond breaking and viscous weakening, which combine to induce rate dependence in the cohesive strength, fracture energy, and cohesive state wave speed. The model is used to simulate dynamic crack propagation. Results display rate-dependent terminal speeds which correspond to the cohesive strength and not to the local driving force; thus supporting the local limiting speed hypothesis.

The equation was formed by combining terms describing non-bonded square-well segments, hard-sphere chain formation, and a perturbation term describing the square-well contribution to chain formation. The functional dependence on the chain length is the same as that derived in the statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT). Extensive isobaric–isothermal MC simulations were performed for the dimer, 4-mer, 8-mer, and 16-mer square-well fluids at temperatures below or near the critical point. The new equation satisfactorily represents the volumetric properties of square-well chain fluids, up to and including the 100-mer, which was the longest chain length studied. Additionally, the new model accurately reproduces the phase envelopes of the dimer and 4-mer fluids, however, it underestimates the vapor pressures for 8-mer’s and above.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/07/30/ VL - 279 IS - 31 M3 - Article SP - 32435 EP - 32443 SN - 00219258 AB - The α4β1-integrin (very late antigen-4 (VLA-4), CD49d/ CD29) is an adhesion receptor involved in the interaction of lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and stem cells with the extracellular matrix and endothelial cells. This and other integrins have the ability to regulate their affinity for ligands through a process termed "inside-out" signaling that affects cell adhesion avidity. Several mechanisms are known to regulate integrin affinity and conformation: conformational changes induced by separation of the C-terminal tails, divalent ions, and reducing agents. Recently, we described a fluorescent LDVcontaining small molecule that was used to monitor VLA-4 affinity changes in live cells (Chigaev, A., Blenc, A. M., Braaten, J. V., Kumaraswamy, N., Kepley, C. L., Andrews, R. P., Oliver, J. M., Edwards, B. S., Prossnitz, E. R., Larson, R. S., and Sklar, L. A. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 48670-48678). Using the same molecule, we also developed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assay to probe the "switchblade-like" opening of VLA-4 upon activation. Here, we investigated the effect of reducing agents on the affinity and conformational state of the VLA-4 integrin simultaneously with cell activation initiated by inside-out signaling through G proteincoupled receptors or Mn2+ in live cells in real time. We found that reducing agents (dithiothreitol and 2,3dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid) induced multiple states of high affinity of VLA-4, where the affinity change was accompanied by an extension of the integrin molecule. Bacitracin, an inhibitor of the reductive function of the plasma membrane, diminished the effect of dithiothreitol, but had no effect on inside-out signaling. Based on this result and differences in the kinetics of integrin activation, we conclude that conformational activation of VLA-4 by inside-out signaling is independent of and additive to reduction-regulated integrin activation.

This review summarizes results excerpted from numerous papers concerning this rapidly growing area with a focus on monoliths prepared from synthetic polymers. Both the simplicity of the in situ preparation and the large number of readily available chemistries make the monolithic separation media a vital alternative to capillary columns packed with particulate materials. Therefore, they are now a well-established stationary phase format in the field of capillary electrochromatography. A wide variety of synthetic approaches as well as materials used for the preparation of the monolithic stationary phases are presented in detail. The analytical potential of these columns is demonstrated with separations involving various families of compounds and different chromatographic modes.

RF1 is a protein that recognizes stop codons and promotes the release of a nascent polypeptide from tRNA on the ribosome. Selenomethionine-labeled RF1 crystallized in space group P21 with three monomers per asymmetric unit. It has approximate dimensions of 75 Å×70 Å×45 Å and is composed of four domains. The overall fold of each RF1 domain shows almost the same topology with Escherichia coli RF2, except that the RF1 N-terminal domain is shorter and the C-terminal domain is longer than that of RF2. The N-terminal domain of RF1 indicates a rigid-body movement relative to that of RF2 with an angle of ∼90°. Including these features, RF1 has a tripeptide anticodon PVT motif instead of the SPF motif of RF2, which confers the specificity towards the stop codons. The analyses of three molecules in the asymmetric unit and comparison with RF2 revealed the presence of dynamic movement of domains I and III, which are anchored to the central domain by hinge loops. The crystal structure of RF1 elucidates the intrinsic property of this family of having large domain movements for proper function with the ribosome.

Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations have also been used to compute the diffusivities under the same condition. We find quantitative agreement between our simulation and experimental results, which show that the corrected diffusivity of CF4 decreases as the molecular loading inside the zeolite is increased. Earlier simulations and experiments have examined self-diffusion of CF4 in silicalite, so for the first time data are now available to directly compare experimental and MD results for self-diffusion and collective diffusion simultaneously. The agreement between the simulation and experimental results provide strong support for the use of atomistic simulations to quantitatively explore the diffusion of small molecules in nanoporous materials.

The macroscopic rate of reaction (the partial pressure of desorption products) was temporary modulated when a TMA-covered surface was UV-irradiated in oxygen gas. Scanning tunneling microscope imaging revealed spatially modulated distribution of TMA and OH on that surface. The limited surface mobility of electrons photoexcited and trapped at OH-associated Ti sites was proposed to cause the temporal and spatial modulations. The characteristic length of the spatial modulation, i.e., the lateral dimension of electron confinement, was a few lattice constants of the oxide.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07/30/ VL - 108 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 10625 EP - 10630 SN - 15206106 AB - Size-controlled spectral tunability and chemical flexibility make semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) attractive as nanoscale building blocks for color-selectable optical-gain media. The technological potential of NCs as lasing materials is, however, significantly diminished by highly efficient nonradiative Auger recombination of multiexcitons leading to ultrafast decay of optical gain. Here we explore a novel approach to achieve NC lasing in the Auger-recombination-free regime by using type II NC heterostructures that promote spatial separation of electrons and holes. We show that such hetero-NCs can exhibit strong repulsive exciton-exciton interactions that lead to significantly reduced excited-state absorption associated with NCs containing single electron-hole pairs. This effect leads to reduced optical-gain thresholds and can potentially allow lasing in the single-exciton regime, for which Auger recombination is inactive. We use these novel hetero-NCs to demonstrate efficient amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) that is tunable across a “difficult” range of green and blue colors. The ASE in the blue range has never been previously achieved using traditional NCs with type I carrier localization.

T1 - Platinum Monolayer Electrocatalysts for O2 Reduction: Pt Monolayer on Pd(111) and on Carbon-Supported Pd Nanoparticles. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/07/30/ VL - 108 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 10955 EP - 10964 SN - 15206106 AB - The kinetics of oxygen reduction was studied in acid solutions on Pt monolayers deposited on a Pd(111) surface and on carbon-supported Pd nanoparticles using the rotating disk-ring electrode technique. These electrocatalysts were prepared by a new method for depositing Pt monolayers involving the galvanic displacement by Pt of an underpotentially deposited Cu monolayer on a Pd substrate and characterized by scanning tunneling and transmission electron microscopies. The kinetics of O2 reduction shows a significant enhancement at Pt monolayers on Pd(111) and Pd nanoparticle surfaces in comparison with the reaction on Pt(111) and Pt nanoparticles. The four-electron reduction, with a first-charge transfer-rate determining step, is operative on both surfaces. The observed increase in the catalytic activity of Pt monolayer surfaces compared with Pt bulk and nanoparticle electrodes may reflect decreased formation of PtOH. An enhanced atomic scale surface roughness and low coordination of some atoms may contribute to the observed activity. The results illustrate that placing a Pt monolayer on a suitable metal nanoparticle substrate is an attractive way of designing better O2 reduction electrocatalysts. Also, by using this method the Pt content is reduced to very low levels. The Pt mass-specific activity of the Pt/Pd/C electrode is 5-8 times higher than that of the Pt/C electrocatalyst. The noble metal (Pt + Pd) mass-specific activity is two times higher than that of Pt/C.

Electron spin-echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy was employed to measure the hyperfine and electric quadrupole interactions of weakly coupled 14N nuclei, and X-band pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy was used to probe strongly coupled 14N nuclei. The 14N ESEEM observed for Cu2+ at the surface site of RCs results from a single histidine ligand. In addition, the ENDOR spectra reveal the presence of one more nitrogen ligand in the Cu2+ coordination sphere that we tentatively assign as a peptide backbone nitrogen. The similarity of the ESEEM and ENDOR spectra for RCs from Rb. sphaeroides, Rb. capsulatus, and Blc. viridis suggests a universal intrinsic structural site. These results indicate that Cu2+ has a different coordination environment from the crystallographically characterized Zn2+ and Cd2+ surface sites in Rb. sphaeroides RCs. These structural differences may be associated with observed metal ion specific differences in alteration of QA-QB → QAQB- electron transfer.

We report in situ dynamic transmission electron microscope observations of nanocrystalline nickel films with an average grain size of about 10 nanometers, which show that grain boundary-mediated processes have become a prominent deformation mode. Additionally, trapped lattice dislocations are observed in individual grains following deformation. This change in the deformation mode arises from the grain size-dependent competition between the deformation controlled by nucleation and motion of dislocations and the deformation controlled by diffusion-assisted grain boundary processes.

The method also has potential for use on probes to other planets, the Moon, asteroids and comets. Like Mars, Venus is of strong interest because of its proximity to earth, but unlike Mars, conditions at the surface are far more hostile with temperatures in excess of 700 K and pressures on the order of 9.1 MPa (90 atm). These conditions present a significant challenge to spacecraft design and demand that rapid methods of chemical data gathering be implemented. The advantages of LIBS (e.g. stand-off and very rapid analysis) make the method particularly attractive for Venus exploration because of the expected short operational lifetimes (≈2 h) of surface instrumentation. Although the high temperature of Venus should pose no problem to the analytical capabilities of the LIBS spark, the demonstrated strong dependence of laser plasma characteristics on ambient gas pressures below earth atmospheric pressure requires that LIBS measurements be evaluated at the high Venus surface pressures. Here, we present a preliminary investigation of LIBS at 9.1 MPa for application to the analysis of a basalt rock sample. The results suggest the feasibility of the method for a Venus surface probe and that further study is justified.

In both structures the charged carboxylic head of the inhibitor binds to the active site, making hydrogen-bond interactions with His110 and Tyr48 and electrostatic interactions with NADP+ There is an important difference between the two structures: the observation of a double conformation of the carboxylic acid moiety of the inhibitor at pH 8, with one water molecule interacting with the main configuration. This is the first time that a water molecule has been observed deep inside the ALR2 active site. Furthermore, in the configuration with the lower occupancy factor the difference electron-density map shows a clear peak (2.5σ) for the H atom in the hydrogen bond between the inhibitor's carboxylic acid and the Tyr48 side-chain O atom. The position of this peak implies that this H atom is shared between both O atoms, indicating possible direct proton transfer from this residue to the inhibitor. This fact agrees with the model of the catalytic mechanism, in which the proton is donated by the Tyr48 hydroxyl to the substrate. These observations are useful both in drug design and in understanding the ALR2 mechanism.

It overlaps in substrate specificity with endonuclease III and may serve as a back-up for this enzyme in E. coli. The three-dimensional structure of Nei covalently complexed with DNA has been recently determined, revealing the critical amino-acid residues required for DNA binding and catalytic activity. Based on this information, several site-specific mutants of the enzyme have been tested for activity against various substrates. Although the crystal structure of the DNA-bound enzyme has been fully determined, the important structure of the free enzyme has not previously been analyzed. In this report, the crystallization and preliminary crystallo-graphic characterization of DNA-free Nei are described. Four different crystal habits are reported for wild-type Nei and two of its catalytic mutants. Despite being crystallized under different conditions, all habits belong to the same crystal form, with the same space group (I222) and a similar crystallographic unit cell (average parameters a = 57.7, b = 80.2, c = 169.7 Å). Two of these crystal habits, I and IV, appear to be suitable for full crystallographic analysis. Crystal habit I was obtained by vapour diffusion using PEG 8000, glycerol and calcium acetate. Crystal habit IV was obtained by a similar method using PEG 400 and magnesium chloride. Both crystals are mechanically strong and stable in the X-ray beam once frozen under cold nitrogen gas. A full diffraction data set has recently been collected from a wild-type Nei crystal of habit I (2.6 Å resolution, 85.2% completeness, Rmerge = 9.8%). Additional diffraction data were collected from an Nei-R252A crystal of habit IV (2.05 Å resolution, 99.9% completeness, Rmerge = 6.0%) and an Nei-E2A crystal of habit IV (2.25 Å resolution, 91.7% completeness,...

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 42 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1593 EP - 1600 SN - 00011452 AB - In the numerical simulation of transient reacting flow, standard explicit calculation is prohibitively expensive because of the small time steps needed to address the stiffness of a governing differential system. To circumvent this, new hybrid implicit—explicit methods proposed treat the stiffness, whereas the underlying time-step control is governed by the Courant stability criterion. Because the coefficients of both explicit and implicit operations are entirely determined by solving the necessary conditions of accuracy and L stability without any extra assumptions, the methods are more generalized than other similar methods in the literature. Two families of semi-implicit Runge— Kutta schemes are developed for split differential equations in the form of u′ =f(t, u) + g(t, u), where f is treated explicitly and g is simultaneously treated implicitly. Like the rest of all the developed schemes, a low-storage family of semi-implicit schemes is also derived to be globally high-order accurate and L stable for implicit calculations. In a companion paper (Yoh, J. J., and Zhong, X., “New Hybrid Runge—Kutta Methods for Unsteady Reactive Flow Simulation: Applications” AIAA Journal, Vol. 42, No. 8, 2004, pp. 1601–1611) the new schemes are tested to solve a wide range of applications in high-speed flow physics involving combustion.

The only problems directly solvable are those involving charged particles in constant electromagnetic fields. If the external field represents a light pulse, Dirac's relativistic equation can be solved, as done by Volkov in 1935. Classical solutions based on Volkov's work employ the Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We discuss the solution of this problem using Newton's equations, thereby making the solution more accessible.

Several samples of methane hydrate were also quenched after various extents of partial reaction for assessment of mid-synthesis textural progression. All laboratory-synthesized hydrates were grown under relatively high-temperature and high-pressure conditions from rounded ice grains with geometrically simple pore shapes, yet all resulting samples displayed extensive recrystallization with complex pore geometry. Growth fronts of mesoporous methane hydrate advancing into dense ice reactant were prevalent in those samples quenched after limited reaction below and at the ice point. As temperatures transgress the ice point, grain surfaces continue to develop a discrete "rind" of hydrate, typically 5 to 30 µm thick. The cores then commonly melt, with rind microfracturing allowing migration of the melt to adjacent grain boundaries where it also forms hydrate. As the reaction continues under progressively warmer conditions, the hydrate product anneals to form dense and relatively pore-free regions of hydrate grains, in which grain size is typically several tens of micrometers. The prevalence of hollow, spheroidal shells of hydrate, coupled with extensive redistribution of reactant and product phases throughout reaction, implies that a diffusion-controlled shrinking-core model is an inappropriate description of sustained hydrate growth from melting ice. Completion of reaction at peak synthesis conditions then produces exceptional faceting and euhedral crystal growth along exposed pore walls. Further recrystallization or regrowth can then accompany even short-term exposure of synthetic hydrates to natural ocean-floor conditions, such that the final texture...

The experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 200 to 250 K and pressures up to 7 MPa. The samples were prepared from mixtures of ground, deuterated ice and deuterated methanol (up to 20 vol%), which were transformed in situ into CO2- or CH4-hydrates by pressurizing the systems with the corresponding gas. The observed rates of formation of hydrates are orders of magnitude higher than the rate of formation from pure deuterated ice under the same pressure and temperature conditions. Glycols and alcohols, methanol in particular, are long known as thermodynamic inhibitors of hydrate formation. Our study indicates that methanol can also act as a kinetic promoter for the formation of gas hydrates. Preliminary data suggest that the kinetics also depend strongly on concentration and the isotopic composition.

Under high-pressure and low-temperature conditions, the jet breakup patterns follow distinct Rayleigh, transitional, and spray modes. Droplet size distribution was determined in the different modes, with the spray mode producing the smallest droplets and the most uniform size distribution. The system appears to progress from transitional to spray mode when the Ohnesorge number is approximately 18 Re-1 Using this relationship, it is possible to predict the minimum injection rate necessary for spray mode at any injector diameter. Under hydrate-forming conditions, the jet breakup did not appear to be affected because breakup occurred faster than hydrate formation. However, injection into a confined space could promote droplet coalescence, resulting in a larger average drop size. These results can be used to control hydrate conversion in an ocean CO2 injection system and to ensure a large dispersion of injected CO2 during its sequestration in the ocean.

Hydrate formation experiments were performed in a 72 L pressure vessel by injecting bubbles of carbon dioxide through a 1 L tube at hydrate formation pressures (1.4 to 3.7 MPa) and temperatures (2 to 5 °C). The results revealed that when even a small fraction (e.g., 5-35%) of the water in which the hydrate formed was recently thawed the overpressure for nucleation was reduced by an average of 50% as compared to untreated distilled water. This observation was confirmed by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test that indicated that recently thawed water required a significantly lower overpressure compared to the untreated distilled water. In experiments where hydrate nucleated at low overpressure (e.g., 0.75 MPa), hydrate formed at the vapor-liquid interface, encrusting the bubbles with less than 1 g of hydrate accumulation in the first minute. When a higher overpressure was required for nucleation (e.g., 1.3 MPa), hydrate was observed to form abruptly not only on bubbles but also from the bulk liquid phase, typically accumulating a mass of more than 100 g in the first few seconds. Our results show that initiation of hydrate formation is strongly influenced by temperature-dependent pre-structuring of water molecules prior to their contact with gas. Although as little as a 5% volume fraction of pre-structured water may decrease the required overpressure, once hydrate formation commences the mass of hydrate accumulation is dependent on the overpressure.

This article describes my evolving views as I developed and taught introductory university courses on experimental design, organized around and stimulated by three different texts and three different universities. Primarily, I found it to be essential, particularly at the course's beginning, to embed textbook examples in credible scientific or business contexts in order to try to convince students of the value of statistical experimental design and analysis in their subsequent careers. In contrast, uninteresting, even nonsensical, undeveloped examples that serve only as formula drill give students the opposite impression. My purpose in this article is to present selected expanded textbook examples and to use these illustrations to examine fundamental issues in experimental design such as: the importance of subject-matter, the choice of experimental units, the nature and purpose of blocking, and the contrast between random sampling and random assignment of treatments. These examples expose fundamental issues in how our profession functions in a collaborative environment and how we prepare the next generation of statisticians and statistically savvy professionals. My hope is that the illustrations provided will be directly useful to beginning instructors and provocative to the experienced.

At a PDMS/glass microchip, the image of individual λ-DNA molecules appear sharp and distinct in Nomarski differential interference contrast microscopy. Intercalator dyes affected the physical properties and dynamic behavior of individual DNA molecules. From the migration velocities in the microchannel it is evident that native DNA molecules migrated faster than DNA molecules labeled with the intercalator YOYO-1. This is because YOYO- 1 increases the molecular weight and size of λ-DNA and decreases the charge. The electric field strength and pH also affected the dynamics of single DNA molecules. We also observed that YOYO-labeled DNA was more stretched out compared to native DNA.

This layer-by-layer approach allows control of the thickness of the dielectric surface with a monolayer precision on silver surfaces. The enhancement of Raman scattering from adsorbed Rhodamine 6G molecules is inversely proportional to the thickness of the titania film, which is consistent with the decay of electromagnetic enhancement Despite a reduction in the sensitivity of the film, a substantial improvement in the film was achieved as a result of the enhanced stability of this substrate compared to the silver island film without a TiO2 coating.

SN - 15317331 AB - Nanofluids, consisting of nanometer-sized solid particles and fibers dispersed in liquids, have recently been demonstrated to have great potential for improving the heat transfer properties of liquids. Several characteristic behaviors of nanofluids have been identified, including the possibility of obtaining large increases in thermal conductivity compared with liquids without nanoparticles, strong temperature-dependent effects, and significant increases in critical heat flux. Observed behavior is in many cases anomalous with respect to the predictions of existing macroscopic theories, indicating the need for a new theory that properly accounts for the unique features of nanofluids. Theoretical studies of the possible heat transfer mechanisms have been initiated, but to date obtaining an atomic- and microscale-level understanding of how heat is transferred in nanofluids remains the greatest challenge that must be overcome in order to realize the full potential of this new class of heat transfer fluids.

SN - 15317331 AB - Modeling and simulation are becoming increasingly accepted components of materials research. In this review we discuss application of modeling and simulation in the developing field of biomaterials. To restrict the discussion somewhat, we focus primarily on the structure and properties of biomaterials and do not discuss biochemical or biomedical applications. We start with a discussion of how atomistic-level simulation can be used to study molecules and collections of molecules. We then focus on mesoscale simulations of structure and properties, followed by a brief review of continuum-scale approaches. We end with some thoughts on the future of modeling and simulation in biomaterials applications.

The observed yield of NB1 was 0.20 (±0.06) (mean ± standard deviation) and 0.28 (±0.01) mg of total suspended solids (TSS) mg of CM-1 under anoxic and aerobic conditions, respectively. The stoichiometry of nitrate consumption was 0.75 (±0.10) electron equivalents (eeq) of NO3¯ per eeq of CM, which is consistent with the yield when it is expressed on an eeq basis. Nitrate was stoichiometrically converted to dinitrogen (0.51 ± 0.05 mol of N2 per mol of NO3¯). The stoichiometry of oxygen use with CM (0.85 ± 0.21 eeq of 02 per eeq of CM) was also consistent with the aerobic yield. Stoichiometric release of chloride and minimal accumulation of soluble metabolic products (measured as chemical oxygen demand) following CM consumption, under anoxic and aerobic conditions, indicated complete biodegradation of CM. Acetylene did not inhibit CM use under aerobic conditions, implying that a monooxygenase was not involved in initiating aerobic CM metabolism. Under anoxic conditions, the maximum specific CM utilization rate (k) for NB1 was 5.01 (±0.06) μmol of CM mg of TSS-1 day-1, the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) was 0.0506 day-1, and the Monod half-saturation coefficient (Ks) was 0.067 (&lusmn;0.004) μM. Under aerobic conditions, the values for k, μmax, and Ks were 10.7 (±0.11) μmol of CM mg of TSS-1 day-1, 0.145 day-1, and 0.93 (±0.042) μM, respectively, indicating that NB1 used CM faster under aerobic conditions. Strain NB1 also grew on methanol, ethanol, and acetate under denitrifying and aerobic conditions, but not on methane, formate, or dichloromethane.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 70 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 4872 EP - 4879 SN - 00992240 AB - Candida tropicalis (ATCC 20336) converts fatty acids to long-chain dicarboxylic acids via a pathway that includes among other reactions the oxidation of ω-hydroxy fatty acids to ω-aldehydes by a fatty alcohol oxidase (FAO). Three FAO genes (one gene designated FAO1 and two putative allelic genes designated FAO2a and FAO2b), have been cloned and sequenced from this strain. A comparison of the DNA sequence homology and derived amino acid sequence homology between these three genes and previously published Candida FAO genes indicates that FAO1 and FAO2 are distinct genes. Both genes were individually cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The substrate specificity and Km values for the recombinant FAO1 and FAO2 were significantly different. Particularly striking is the fact that FAO1 oxidizes ω-hydroxy fatty acids but not 2-alkanols, whereas FAO2 oxidizes 2-alkanols but not ω-hydroxy fatty acids. Analysis of extracts of strain H5343 during growth on fatty acids indicated that only FAO1 was highly induced under these conditions. FAO2 contains one CTG codon, which codes for serine (amino acid 177) in C. tropicalis but codes for leucine in E. coli. An FAO2a construct, with a TCG codon (codes for serine in E. coli) substituted for the CTG codon, was prepared and expressed in E. coli. Neither the substrate specificity nor the Km values for the FAO2a variant with a serine at position 177 were radically different from those of the variant with a leucine at that position.

As a result, they are routinely detected in air and water. Methods and routes of biodegradation of these compounds are being sought. We report that under aerobic, photosynthetic conditions, the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. transformed methyl parathion first to o,o-dimethyl o-p-nitrosophenyl thiophosphate and then to o,o-dimethyl o-p-aminophenyl thiophosphate by reducing the nitro group. The process of methyl parathion transformation occurred in the light, but not in the dark. Methyl parathion was toxic to cyanobacteria in the dark but did not affect their viability in the light. Methyl parathion transformation was not affected by mutations in the genes involved in nitrate reduction in cyanobacteria.

In this study, we utilized a novel microsomal incubation system that mimics many of the characteristics of CYP3A degradation pathway that have been observed in vivo and in cultured cells to study the effects of phospholipid composition on protein stability. We found that addition of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PLD) stabilized CYP3A in this system, but that phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) was without effect. Addition of phosphatidic acid also stabilized CYP3A protein in the microsomes. The use of 1,10-phenanthroline (phenanthroline), an inhibitor of PLD activity, decreased CYP3A stability in incubated microsomes. Similarly, 6-h treatment of primary cultures of rat hepatocytes with phenanthroline resulted in nearly complete loss of CYP3A protein. Treatment of rats with nicardipine or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), which have been shown to affect CYP3A stability, altered the phospholipid composition of hepatic microsomes. It did not appear, though, that the changes in phospholipid composition that resulted from these in vivo treatments accounted for the change in CYP3A stability observed in hepatic microsomes from these animals.

To investigate whether any large-scale structural digressions in the supercooled state are correlated to the function of AFGPs, self-diffusion behavior of the AFGP8, the smallest AFGP is monitored as a function of temperature from 243 to 303 K using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The experimental results are compared with the hydrodynamic calculations using the viscosity of water at the same temperature range. In order to evaluate results on AFGP8, the smallest AFGP, constituting approximately two-thirds of the total AFGP fraction in fish blood serum, similar experimental and computational calculations were also performed on a set of globular proteins. These results show that even though the general trend of translational dynamics of AFGP is similar to that of the other globular proteins, AFGP8 appears to be more hydrated (approximately 30% increase in the bead radius) than the others over the temperature range studied. These results also suggest that local conformational changes such as segmental librations or hydrogen bond dynamics that are closer to the protein surface are more likely the determining dynamic factors for the function of AFGPs rather than any large-scale structural rearrangements.

The messenger RNA (mRNA) of Escherichia coli K-12 is modeled as a noisy (errored), encoded signal and the ribosome as a minimum Hamming distance decoder, where the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as a template for generating a set of valid codewords (the codebook). We tested the E. coli based coding models on 5′ untranslated leader sequences of prokaryotic organisms of varying taxonomical relation to E. coli including: Salmonella typhimurium LT2, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus Mu50. The model identified regions on the 5′ untranslated leader where the minimum Hamming distance values of translated mRNA sub-sequences and non-translated genomic sequences differ the most. These regions correspond to the Shine–Dalgarno domain and the non-random domain. Applying the EC coding-based models to B. subtilis, and S. aureus Mu50 yielded results similar to those for E. coli K-12. Contrary to our expectations, the behavior of S. typhimurium LT2, the more taxonomically related to E. coli, resembled that of the non-translated sequence group.

However, the most accurate method of biomass sugar analysis is based on the gas chromatography analysis of derivatized sugars either as alditol acetates or trimethylsilanes. The derivatization method is time-consuming but the alternative HPLC method cannot resolve most sugars found in biomass hydrolysates. We have demonstrated for the first time that by careful manipulation of the HPLC mobile phase, biomass monomeric sugars (arabinose, xylose, fructose, glucose, mannose, and galactose) can be analyzed quantitatively and there is excellent baseline resolution of all the sugars. This was demonstrated for both standard sugars and corn stover hydrolysates. Our method can also be used to analyze dimmeric sugars (cellobiose and sucrose).

Contrary to these previously reported strains being strict anaerobes, all tested strains grew and produced H2 in the presence of micromolar levels of O2. T. neapolitana showed the highest H2 production under these conditions. Microscopic counting techniques were used to determine growth curves and doubling times, which were subsequently correlated with optical density measurements. The Biolog anaerobic microtiter plate system was used to analyze the carbon source utilization spectrum of T. neapolitana and to select non-metabolized or poorly metabolized carbohydrates as physiological buffers.

JO - Biotechnology Progress JF - Biotechnology Progress Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 20 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1251 EP - 1254 SN - 87567938 AB - Conversion of hydrophobic substrates such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was studied in aqueous-organic media using transformation of pyrene by cytochrome c. The experiments were conducted in pure solvents and aqueous-acetonitrile mixtures. The reaction rates dropped gradually as the solvent concentration was increased and were negligible in pure solvents. Thermodynamic calculations show that substrate desolvation was the governing factor in this reaction. The decrease in free energy of activation upon increasing the solvent concentration was found to be proportional to the substrate transfer free energy. This suggests that in order to make such reactions feasible in organic media, it will be necessary to improve the binding between the proteins and the substrates.

T1 - Alterations in mineral composition observed in osteoarthritic joints of cynomolgus monkeys JO - BONE JF - BONE Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 35 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 498 EP - 506 SN - 87563282 AB - Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease that affects more than 40 million Americans and is characterized by degeneration of the articular cartilage and thickening of the underlying subchondral bone. Although subchondral bone thickening has been implicated in articular cartilage degeneration, very little is known about the composition of subchondral bone in OA. In the present study, infrared microspectroscopy (IRMS) was used to determine the chemical composition of the calcified cartilage–subchondral bone plate in a monkey model of OA. Specifically, the levels of mineralization (mineral/protein ratio), carbonate accumulation (carbonate/protein ratio), crystallinity, and collagen structure were determined as a function of animal age and OA severity. OA severity was assessed using a grading scheme that included scores or measurements for several histomorphometric parameters including articular cartilage fibrillation or clefting, subchondral bone thickness, and numbers of tidemarks and chondrocyte clones. Individual scores and measurements were summarized using principal components (factor) analysis. Results demonstrated that the level of mineralization and carbonate content increased as a function of animal age. In addition, bone mineralization level increased as subchondral bone thickness increased. Dramatic increases in the mineralization level and carbonate accumulation were also observed as a function of the number of tidemarks. The presence of multiple tidemarks indicates the occurrence of one or more additional phases of cartilage calcification, suggesting that the observed compositional changes are due to cartilage mineralization. Our results support a reactivation of endochondral ossification that occurs with age, which is more pronounced in OA. No relationships were observed between mineral crystallinity and collagen cross-linking as a function of age or OA severity. In summary, compositional analysis of the mineralized plate beneath the articular cartilage in OA is characterized by thickened, overmineralized calcified cartilage or subchondral bone, which likely puts added mechanical stress on the joint, contributing to the progression of OA.

SN - 00068314 AB - The behaviour of intermittent turbulent temperature fluxes is characterized in terms of a flux interval, defined as the time interval over which flux values are computed, and a flux threshold value. Fluxes whose magnitudes exceed the threshold value are defined as flux events while the times when the threshold is not exceeded are defined as gaps. Turbulent temperature flux data from five sites in Kansas, Utah, and Washington State, U.S.A. are examined within this descriptive framework. The turbulent event fraction f turb, the ratio of the time occupied by turbulent events to the total sampling time, is found to depend linearly on the average flux for the sampling period over a range of flux intervals, threshold values, and sampling times. As the average flux for a sampling period decreases toward zero, the median magnitude of the fluxes during the gaps also decreases but the median fluxes during the turbulent events become nearly independent of the sampling period average. A wide range of values of f turb is found for gradient Richardson numbers less than 0.3, indicating the possibility of considerable intermittency under weakly to moderately stable conditions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Boundary-Layer Meteorology is the property of Springer Science & Business Media B.V. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These programs contain code features that cause the cost function to be discontinuous. Optimization algorithms that require smoothness can fail on such problems. Evaluating the cost function is often so time-consuming that stochastic optimization algorithms are run using only a few simulations, which decreases the probability of getting close to a minimum. To show how applicable direct search, stochastic, and gradient-based optimization algorithms are for solving such optimization problems, we compare the performance of these algorithms in minimizing cost functions with different smoothness. We also explain what causes the large discontinuities in the cost functions.

Pieces were joined directly to each other or with an interlayer. For some of the Al2O3/YSZ specimens, the interlayer was applied by spraying of powders entrained in an organic vehicle. All final joints were as dense as the host ceramics and generally featured finer grain sizes. When dissimilar compositions were joined, thermal residual stresses were generated. Choice of composition could tailor these stresses and produce joints that were as strong as the surrounding ceramics. Strength of the Al2O3/YSZ joints and the electrical resistivity of a joint in La0.85Sr0.15MnO3 were as good as those of the host ceramics.

The spectrum below threshold is dominated by four resonances, each two of them with σ- and π-type final-state orbitals. The π-type resonances have been ascribed in previous work unanimously to antibonding valence orbitals while the character of the σ-type resonances is still the subject of discussion. Based on the present theoretical results and the observed vibrational fine structures both σ-type orbitals are assigned to be valence type with minor admixtures of Rydberg character.

The results are compared with bulk gold powder. A real space analysis of the structure of the nanoparticles has been performed using the pair distribution function (PDF). This provides valuable information and reveals several interesting features. The PDF pattern for the nanoparticles is significantly attenuated compared to bulk gold due to the finite size of the particles; the attenuation is consistent with the 4 nm size of the particles. The nanoparticles have a slightly smaller lattice parameter at both temperatures but the nearest neighbor Au–Au vectors are entirely symmetrical and there is no evidence for structural relaxation associated with atoms near the surface. The vector between surface Au atoms and sulfur of the thiol cap layer can be observed at ∼2.4 Å. The study points to the great power of total neutron scattering in ensemble-averaged analysis of structure in the nano regime.

Two flames are compared with respect to stability and pollutant formation characteristics—one a pure methane flame close to the lean limit, and one enriched with hydrogen. The stability of the flame is quantified in terms of the turbulent flame speed. A higher speed is observed for the hydrogen-enriched flame consistent with extended blow-off stability limits found in measurements. The greater flame speed is the result of a combination of higher laminar flame speed, enhanced area generation, and greater burning rate per unit area. Preferential diffusion of hydrogen coupled with shorter flame time scales accounts for the enhanced flame surface area. In particular, the enriched flame is less diffusive-thermally stable and more resistant to quenching than the pure methane flame, resulting in a greater flame area generation. The burning rate per unit area correlates strongly with curvature as a result of preferential diffusion effects focusing fuel at positive cusps. Lower CO emissions per unit fuel consumption are observed for the enriched flame, consistent with experimental data. CO production is greatest in regions which undergo significant downstream interaction. In these regions, the enriched flame exhibits faster oxidation rates as a result of higher levels of OH concentration. NO emissions are increased for the enriched flame as a result of locally higher temperature and radical concentrations found in cusp regions.

Failure to dope a material, i.e., to produce enough free charge carriers beyond a certain limit, is often the single most important bottleneck for advancing semiconductor-based high technology. Using the first-principles band structure method, we have studied systematically the general chemical trends of the defect formation and ionization in semiconductors to understand the physical origin of the doping difficulty. New approaches to overcoming the doping limit have been developed. This paper reviews our recent progress and discusses some of the computational issues in defect calculations.

However, along with increasing efficiency and productivity, both at home and in the workplace, networks have costs. One cost is the additional energy that electronic devices consume they attach to networks. The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, on open industry specification jointly developed by Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix and Toshiba, defines standard power management interfaces for modern personal computers. Three key drivers of energy use are induced consumption by devices, increasing link data rates that consume more energy for network interfaces and network-connected displays that actively update and display data.

A common feature of these systems is a symmetry breaking whose under parameter describes a discrete symmetry breaking.

Fractional statistics is a natural consequence of the symmetry breaking through the Berry phase accumulated as two quasi-particles are interchanged.

Motivated with this result, we extended to Hall effect study in pulsed magnetic field up to 60 T as well as in dc field up to 45 T and found Hall resistance plateau above 40 T (n=1). Since this system consists of two two-dimensional Fermi surface pockets, and larger pocket has a large effective mass compared with the smaller one, larger Fermi pocket behaves as a reservoir for the smaller pocket to be well-separated into completely filled and completely empty Landau levels in a certain range of temperature and magnetic field. The interpretation of realizing the Hall plateau can be understood as a new mechanism for QHE, but is quite different neither from localization nor field induce spin density wave state in organic TMTSF salts.

The field dependence of G and S are strikingly different in ballistic and diffusive regimes. Interwell tunneling in DQWR''s distorts the conductance and the TEP drastically from those of a SQWR and yields a sign anomaly for S.

The mean force between two colloidal particles in a saline solution can be calculated by augmenting electrostatic interactions with salt-specific dispersion (van der Waals) interactions between small ions and between small ions and macroions. Results of Monte Carlo simulations are qualitatively consistent with specific-salt effects observed experimentally by numerous investigators, including those of Hofmeister for aqueous proteins over 100 years ago. In agreement with theoretical predictions of Ninham et al., our calculations show that the potential of mean force (and hence the phase behavior of colloidal or protein solution) is sensitive to the van der Waals interaction that depends on salt identity.

DNA–PK also plays a very important role in triggering apoptosis in response to severe DNA damage or critically shortened telomeres. Paradoxically, components of the DNA–PK complex are present at the mammalian telomere where they function in capping chromosome ends to prevent them from being mistaken for double-strand breaks. In addition, DNA–PK appears to be involved in mounting an innate immune response to bacterial DNA and to viral infection. As DNA–PK localizes very rapidly to DNA breaks and phosphorylates itself and other damage-responsive proteins, it appears that DNA–PK serves as both a sensor and a transducer of DNA-damage signals. The many roles of DNA–PK in the mammalian cell are discussed in this review with particular emphasis on recent advances in our understanding of the phosphorylation events that take place during the activation of DNA–PK at DNA breaks.

The plo 1 region maps to mouse chromosome 7 (MMU 7) between two genes, Gabrb3 and Ube3a, which have been used as anchor points to generate an integrated deletion and physical map of plo 1 that encompasses about 1.2-1.3 Mb. A deletion/physical map was constructed and the genomic DNA between the two loci was sequenced to identify genes mapping to this region.

JO - Ecological Monographs JF - Ecological Monographs Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 74 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 443 EP - 489 SN - 00129615 AB - Models represent our primary method for integration of small-scale, process-level phenomena into a comprehensive description of forest-stand or ecosystem function. They also represent a key method for testing hypotheses about the response of forest ecosystems to multiple changing environmental conditions. This paper describes the evaluation of 13 stand-level models varying in their spatial, mechanistic, and temporal complexity for their ability to capture intra- and interannual components of the water and carbon cycle for an upland, oak-dominated forest of eastern Tennessee. Comparisons between model simulations and observations were conducted for hourly, daily, and annual time steps. Data for the comparisons were obtained from a wide range of methods including: eddy covariance, sapflow, chamber-based soil respiration, biometric estimates of stand-level net primary production and growth, and soil water content by time or frequency domain reflectometry. Response surfaces of carbon and water flux as a function of environmental drivers, and a variety of goodness-of-fit statistics (bias, absolute bias, and model efficiency) were used to judge model performance. A single model did not consistently perform the best at all time steps or for all variables considered. Intermodel comparisons showed good agreement for water cycle fluxes, but considerable disagreement among models for predicted carbon fluxes. The mean of all model outputs, however, was nearly always the best fit to the observations. Not surprisingly, models missing key forest components or processes, such as roots or modeled soil water content, were unable to provide accurate predictions of ecosystem responses to short-term drought phenomenon. Nevertheless, an inability to correctly capture short-term physiological processes under drought was not necessarily an indicator of poor annual water and carbon budget simulations. This is possible because droughts in the subject ecosystem were of short duration and therefore had a small cumulative impact. Models using hourly time steps and detailed mechanistic processes, and having a realistic spatial representation of the forest ecosystem provided the best predictions of observed data. Predictive ability of all models deteriorated under drought conditions, suggesting that further work is needed to evaluate and improve ecosystem model performance under unusual conditions, such as drought, that are a common focus of environmental change discussions.

The stoichiometry of the net reaction, Fe0 + CO2 + H2O → FeCO3 + H2, and assumptions about reaction rates, reactant and product prices/values and overhead costs suggest that CO2 might be mitigated at a net profit in excess of $30/tonne CO2. The principle profit center of the process would be hydrogen production, alone providing a gross income of >$160/tonne CO2 reacted. However, the realization of such fuel cell economics depends on a number of parameters including: (1) the rate at which the reaction can be sustained, (2) the areal and volumetric density with which H2 and electricity can be produced, (3) the purity of the H2 produced, (4) the transportation costs of the reactants (Fe, CO2 and H2O) and products (FeCO3 or Fe(HCO3)2) to/from the cells and (5) the cost/benefit trade-offs of optimizing the preceding variables in a given market and regulatory environment. Because of the carbon intensity of conventional iron metal production, a net carbon sequestration benefit for the process can be realized only when waste (rather than new) iron and steel are used as electrodes and/or when Fe(HCO3)2 is the end product. The used electrolyte could also provide a free source of Fe2+ ions for enhancing iron-limited marine photosynthesis and, thus, greatly increasing the CO2 sequestration potential of the process. Alternatively, the reaction of naturally occurring iron oxides (iron ore) with CO2 can be considered for FeCO3 formation and sequestration, but this foregoes the benefits of hydrogen and electricity production. Use of Fe/CO2 fuel cells would appear to be particularly relevant for fossil fuel gasification/steam reforming systems given the highly concentrated CO2 they generate and given the existing infrastructure they provide for producing and handling H2 and/or electricity.

Theoretically, weight-average molecular weight and the radius of gyration Rg can be determined accurately in the range where Rg2k2 is less than 1.2 (rod)∼1.7 (random coil); here, k is the absolute value of the scattering vector for a right angle detector with the Berry square root method. Molecular weight dependence of the radius of gyration obtained from the two-angle light scattering detector for linear and branched polystyrenes under different thermodynamic conditions were measured and found to be almost the same as values measured with a multi-angle light scattering detector and literature values in the appropriate range of molecular weight.

There are conflicting reports as to whether and to what extent telomerase and telomere length influence the sensitivity of cells to genotoxins. To understand the relationship between telomere length, telomerase expression, and sensitivity to genotoxic stress, we expressed the catalytic subunit of telomerase, hTERT, in human fibroblasts having different telomere lengths. We show that telomerase confers resistance to ionizing radiation, bleomycin, hydrogen peroxide, and etoposide only in cells with short, presumably near-dysfunctional, telomeres. This resistance depended on the ability of telomerase to elongate the short telomeres, and telomerase did not protect cells with long telomeres. Interestingly, although long telomeres had no effect on sensitivity to etoposide and bleomycin, they exacerbated sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide, supporting the idea that, compared to other types of DNA damage, telomeres are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage. Our findings identify a mechanism and conditions under which telomerase and telomeres affect the response of human cells to genotoxic agents and may have important implications for anti-cancer interventions.

However, substrate competition alone cannot explain the strong inhibition of methanogenesis during Fe(III)-reduction. We demonstrate direct inhibition of methanogenesis by amorphous Fe(OH)3 at concentrations between 0 and 10 mM in experiments with pure cultures of methanogens. The sensitivity toward Fe(III) was higher for Methanospirillum hungatei and Methanosarcina barkeri grown with H2/CO2 than for Methanosaeta concilii and Methanosarcina barkeri grown with acetate. Cultures of Methanosarcina barkeri grown with H2/CO2 and methanol demonstrated a capacity for Fe(III) reduction, which suggests that Fe(III)-reduction by methanogens may also contribute to Fe(III) inhibition of methanogenesis. Our results have important implications for kinetic modelling of microbial redox processes in anoxic soils and sediments.

It is a multi-organ carcinogen in rodents forms adducts and with DNA and protein. Although protein adducts are not thought to be involved in cancer development, they may be useful as internal dosimeters of PhIP exposure and bioactivation. Towards the goals of characterizing the adducts formed in humans and the development of an assay for quantitation of adduct levels, we have characterized a peptide adduct formed by the putative genotoxic metabolite, N-acetoxy-PhIP. A model peptide with the internal sequence Leu–Gln–Lys–Cys–Pro–Tyr, which is homologous to a potential target sequence for HCAs in human serum albumin, was reacted with N-acetoxy-PhIP and an adduct was identified and further characterized by LC–ESI-MS/MS. N-acetoxy-PhIP is covalently bound to the peptide via cysteine and the exocyclic amino group of PhIP. Future work is needed to establish if this adduct is formed and is stable in vivo in humans following exposure to PhIP.

We applied a previously developed and validated quantitative pathway model of human DNA base excision repair, integrating experimentally determined endogenous damage rates and model parameters from multiple sources. Our estimates of at most 100 8-oxoguanine lesions per cell are consistent with the low end of data from biochemical and cell biology experiments, a result robust to model limitations and parameter variation. Our findings show the power of quantitative system modeling to interpret composite experimental data and make biologically and physiologically relevant predictions for complex human DNA repair pathway mechanisms and capacity.

JO - Fuel JF - Fuel Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 83 IS - 11/12 M3 - Article SP - 1417 EP - 1432 SN - 00162361 AB - The gas-phase pyrolysis of proline, glucose, 1-[(2′-carboxy)pyrrolidinyl]-1-deoxy-d-fructose (the proline Amadori compound), and a 1:1 mixture by weight of proline and glucose was investigated at high temperatures (600–840 °C) and short residence time (i.e. 1.0 s) in an inert atmosphere to determine if glucose or Maillard reaction products enhance the formation of nitrogen containing polycyclic aromatic compounds (N-PACs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the pyrolysis of proline. To study the gas-phase formation of N-PACs and PAHs, the substrates were sublimed into the pyrolysis furnace at 460 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that glucose, the proline/glucose mixture, and the proline Amadori compound undergo solid-state decomposition reactions before subliming. Thus, the substrates were pyrolyzed in two stages: at 460 °C during the sublimation and at 600–840 °C. At 800 °C with a residence time of 1.0 s, proline produced low yields of N-PACs, such as quinoline, isoquinoline, indole, acridine, and carbazole, and PAHs, such as phenanthrene, pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, benzofluoranthene isomers, and benzo[a]pyrene. Increasing the temperature and residence time increased the yield of these products. Under similar pyrolysis conditions, the proline Amadori compound produced 2–8 fold more N-PACs and PAHs than proline. A 1:1 mixture of proline and glucose produced a similar slate of pyrolysis products as the proline Amadori compound, but it is unclear whether the proline Amadori compound was an intermediate in the reaction. In general, the proline Amadori compound produced a higher yield of N-PACs and PAHs than the proline/glucose mixture, but glucose clearly enhances the low temperature gas-phase formation of N-PACs and PAHs from the pyrolysis of proline. For example, a 1:1 mixture of proline and glucose was found to produce low yields of quinoline, isoquinoline, and indole at 600 °C while proline alone does not produce these compounds until 800 °C. Thus, glucose provides a low temperature pathway for the decomposition of proline, which leads to formation of N-PACs and PAHs.

Mixtures of amino acids and glucose were subjected to a two-temperature heating sequence (5 min each at 170 and 325 °C) and the volatile products analyzed by molecular beam mass spectrometry. Significant volatile yield was observed from the mixtures at 170 °C where neither amino acids nor glucose generated volatile material in the time frame studied. Proline was the most active of the amino acid studied.Volatile products at low temperature included the diketopiperazine, which were generated in higher yields than from proline alone. Also generated were Maillard condensation such as 1-(1′-pyrrolidinyl)-2-propanone. These products were also generated at 325 °C, but in addition, the mass spectra included evidence for the direct formation of nitrogen-containing aromatics. These observations are discussed in relation to known Maillard chemistry.

JO - Genetics JF - Genetics Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 167 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1721 EP - 1737 SN - 00166731 AB - Genetic studies have revealed that segment determination in Drosophila melanogasteris based on hierarchical regulatory interactions among maternal coordinate and zygotic segmentation genes. The gap gene system constitutes the most upstream zygotic layer of this regulatory hierarchy, responsible for the initial interpretation of positional information encoded by maternal gradients. We present a detailed analysis of regulatory interactions involved in gap gene regulation based on gap gene circuits, which are mathematical gene network models used to infer regulatory interactions from quantitative gene expression data. Our models reproduce gap gene expression at high accuracy and temporal resolution. Regulatory interactions found in gap gene circuits provide consistent and sufficient mechanisms for gap gene expression, which largely agree with mechanisms previously inferred from qualitative studies of mutant gene expression patterns. Our models predict activation of Kr by Cad and clarify several other regulatory interactions. Our analysis suggests a central role for repressive feedback loops between complementary gap genes. We observe that repressive interactions among overlapping gap genes show anteroposterior asymmetry with posterior dominance. Finally, our models suggest a correlation between timing of gap domain boundary formation and regulatory contributions from the terminal maternal system.

Two of the subsurface materials from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hanford and Oak Ridge sites contained significant amounts of Mn(III,IV) oxides and net bioreduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) was not observed until essentially all of the hydroxylamine HCl-extractable Mn was reduced. In anoxic, unreduced sediment or where Mn oxide bioreduction was incomplete, exogenous biogenic TcO2 · nH2O(s) was slowly oxidized over a period of weeks. Subsurface materials that were bioreduced to varying degrees and then pasteurized to eliminate biological activity, reduced TcO4-(aq) at rates that generally increased with increasing concentrations of 0.5 N HCl-extractable Fe(II). Two of the sediments showed a common relationship between extractable Fe(II) concentration (in mM) and the first-order reduction rate (in h-1), whereas the third demonstrated a markedly different trend. A combination of chemical extractions and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize the Fe(III) and Fe(II) phases. There was little evidence of the formation of secondary Fe(II) biominerals as a result of bioreduction, suggesting that the reactive forms of Fe(II) were predominantly surface complexes of different forms. The reduction rates of Tc(VII)O4- were slowest in the sediment that contained plentiful layer silicates (illite, vermiculite, and smectite), suggesting that Fe(II) sorption complexes on these phases were least reactive toward pertechnetate. These results suggest that the in situ microbial reduction of sediment-associated Fe(III), either naturally or via redox manipulation, may be effective at immobilizing TcO4-(aq) associated with groundwater contaminant plumes.

T1 - Microbial hydrocarbon gases in the Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa: Implications for the deep biosphere JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 68 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 3239 EP - 3250 SN - 00167037 AB - In this study, compositions and δ13C and δ2H isotopic values of hydrocarbon gases from 5 mines in the Witwatersrand basin, South Africa, support the widespread occurrence of microbially produced methane in millions of years-old fissure waters. The presence of microbial methane is, to a large extent, controlled by the geologic formations in which the gases are found. Samples from the Witwatersand Supergroup have the largest microbial component based on δ13C and δ2H signatures and CH4/C2+ values. Based on mixing between a microbial CH4 component and a more 13C-enriched and 2H-depleted C2+-rich end member, conservative estimates of the % contribution of microbial CH4 to the gas samples range from >90% microbial CH4 at Beatrix, Masimong, and Merriespruit, to between 5 and 80% microbial CH4 at Evander, and <18% microbial CH4 at Kloof. The Witwatersrand basin’s history of thermal alteration of organic-rich ancient sedimentary units suggests a thermogenic origin for this 13C-enriched end member. Alternatively, the potential for an abiogenic origin similar to hydrocarbon gases produced by water-rock interaction at other Precambrian Shield mines is discussed. Microbial methane is predominantly found in paleo-meteoric fissure waters with δ18O and δ2H values that fall on the meteoric waterline, and have temperatures between 30 to 40°C. In contrast, fissure waters with a larger component of nonmicrobial hydrocarbon gases show a trend towards more enriched δ18O and δ2H values that fall well above the meteoric waterline, and temperatures of 45 to 60°C. The enrichment in 18O and 2H in these samples, and their high salinity, are similar to the isotopic and compositional characteristics of saline groundwaters and brines produced by water-rock interaction at Precambrian Shield sites elsewhere. The reported 100 Ma ages of fissure waters from the Witwatersrand and Ventersdorp formations suggest that these microbial hydrocarbon gases are the product of in situ methanogenic communities in the deep subsurface of the Witswaterand basin. Small subunit ribosomal RNA genes were amplified using archaeal-specific primer sets from DNA extracts derived from several of these waters. Fissure waters with a high proportion of microbial methane also contained sequences resembling those of known methanogens.

The operation consisted of drilling-out wellbore scale followed by acid dissolution of scale formed in the near-wellbore formation. The workover increased the injection capacity of the well to near its initial-use capacity. Scale-volume estimates from brine chemistry, and from stoichiometric amounts of silica dissolved during the acidizing, suggested that the decrease in injectivity was largely due to scale deposition in the near-well formation. Reactive transport modeling was used to simulate mineral deposition and injectivity loss. A porosity–permeability relationship was calibrated using observed injection indexes to reproduce the loss of injectivity. The relationship captured very well the steep loss of injectivity, and the simulated amounts of precipitated amorphous silica were consistent with the estimated amounts from field data. Significant precipitation of amorphous silica, and reductions in porosity and permeability, were predicted to occur mainly within a 10 m radius from the well. Injectivity recovery by acid injection was also simulated, and the predicted amount of amorphous silica dissolved by acid was consistent with the estimated amount.

Previous studies of the Yellowstone geothermal system have characterized water–rock interaction through analysis of rocks and fluids obtained from both surface and downhole samples. Fluid chemistry, rock mineralogy, permeability, porosity, and thermal data obtained from the Y-8 borehole in Upper Geyser Basin were used to constrain a series of reactive transport simulations of the Yellowstone geothermal system using TOUGHREACT. Three distinct stratigraphic units were encountered in the 153.4 m deep Y-8 drill core: volcaniclastic sandstone, perlitic rhyolitic lava, and nonwelded pumiceous tuff. The main alteration phases identified in the Y-8 core samples include clay minerals, zeolites, silica polymorphs, adularia, and calcite. Temperatures observed in the Y-8 borehole increase with depth from sub-boiling conditions at the surface to a maximum of 169.8 °C at a depth of 104.1 m, with near-isothermal conditions persisting down to the well bottom. 1-D models of the Y-8 core hole were constructed to simulate the observed alteration mineral assemblage given the initial rock mineralogy and observed fluid chemistry and temperatures. Preliminary simulations involving the perlitic rhyolitic lava unit are consistent with the observed alteration of rhyolitic glass to form celadonite.

Modern techniques can detect noble gases to relatively low concentrations and with great precision. These factors suggest that noble gases can be useful tracers for subsurface characterization. Their applications, however, require an appropriate transport model for data analyses. A new fluid property module, EOSN, was developed for TOUGH2 to simulate transport of noble gases in the subsurface. Currently any of five different noble gases (except radon) as well as CO2 can be selected, two at a time. For the two selected gas components, the Crovetto et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 76 (1982) 1077–1086] model is used to calculate the Henry’s law coefficients; and the Reid et al. [The Properties of Gases and Liquids, McGraw-Hill, New York (1987)] correlation is used to calculate the gas phase diffusivities. Like most other sister modules, TOUGH2/EOSN can simulate non-isothermal multiphase flow and fully coupled transport in fractured porous media. Potential applications of the new module include, but are not limited to: (a) study of different reservoir processes such as recharge, boiling, condensation, and fracture-matrix fluid exchange; (b) characterization of reservoir geometry such as fracture spacing; and (c) analysis of CO2 sequestration.

After the last eruptive event (the Monte Nuovo eruption in 1538), periodic episodes of unrest have characterized the evolution of this volcanic district, involving seismic activity and slow ground motion (bradyseism). During these episodes of unrest, some remarkable changes have also affected the composition of the hydrothermal fluids discharged at La Solfatara fumarolic field. These unrest phenomena result from the complex interaction between magma chamber, hydrothermal fluid circulation, and country rocks undergoing thermal and mechanical stresses. In order to make an effective hazard assessment in such a densely populated area as the Phlegrean Fields, we must first reach a better understanding of the mechanism driving bradyseismic activity and determine the relation between ground deformation and hydrothermal fluid circulation. In this work, we present some results of numerical modeling of both the hydrothermal fluid circulation at La Solfatara, and of its effects on rock deformation. The modeling results show that periods of intensified magmatic degassing can explain many features of the recent crises of unrest at Phlegrean Fields.

The methodology of NCRP 129 has been extended to be applicable to 28 common short-lived radionuclides and their progeny, and dose conversion factors were obtained for these radionuclides. In addition to applying the NCRP 129 calculational methodology to these radionuclides, holdup times from harvest or slaughter until consumption have been incorporated into the decay correction equations used to determine the maximum annual dose due to the significance of the holdup time with respect to the dose from short-lived radionuclides. These holdup times were included in the Monte Carlo sampling regimen used in NCRP 129. A test using emission rates proportional to those of the Chernobyl event indicated that areas of high dose, where rainout occurs, more than doubled in areas where short-lived radionuclides from this study were included.

Reagents that identify expression of cell surface determinants on these cells are crucial for differentiating among different vessel types. As a first step in this process we have selected a panel of 25 scFvs from a phage display library that bind to the endothelial cell line LEII. The scFvs are of high affinity and bind to some tumor cells as well as to the target endothelial cell. The scFvs can be divided into 8 epitope groups by use of competition binding studies. DNA sequencing of the members of these groups generally support the classification. This work shows that phage display is a rapid and efficient method for identification of reagents for cell surface molecules.

In particular, limitations to ≳ 100 GHz modulation response, which approaches the carrier-phonon scattering rate, are analyzed. It is found that plasma heating leads to a dynamic carrier population bottleneck, which limits scaling of modulation bandwidth. An optical injection scheme is proposed to verify this phenomenon experimentally.

In particular, we present a symplectic algorithm for the integration of the coupled first-order Maxwell equations for computing the time dependent electric and magnetic fields. Symplectic methods have the benefit of conserving total electromagnetic field energy and are, therefore, preferred over dissipative methods (such as traditional Run ge-Kutta) in applications that require high-accuracy and energy conservation over long periods of time integration. We show that in the context of symplectic methods, several popular schemes can be elegantly cast in a single algorithm. We conclude with some numerical examples which demonstrate the superior performance of high-order time integration methods.

It has a similar structure to a well-known formula for the field outside any spherically symmetric conductivity profile. For a radial dipole, the field on the inside has a very simple expression. A symmetry argument is given as to why the field of a radial dipole vanishes outside a spherical conductor. Illustrative plots of the magnetic field are presented for a radial and a tangential dipole; the slope of the tangential component of the magnetic field is discontinuous at the surface of the sphere. A spherical conductor having three concentric regions is discussed; and we also derive an analytic formula for the magnetic field inside a homogeneous infinite half space.

It is composed of a can and a single-ended, dual-stage gas electron multiplier, with associated anode plane pixellated into about 8000 pads. The front-end electronics must provide energy, timing, and address information from those pads involved in measuring each track. For center of gravity determination this information must be sampled from the above-threshold pad and from the two adjacent ones. An efficient scheme for readout of the ≈8000 front-end channels between each measurement cycle is also required. A 32-channel front-end application-specific integrated circuit has been developed to serve this detector. Fabricated in 0.25 μm CMOS technology, it dissipates 41 mW. Each channel implements a low noise charge preamplifier with continuous reset of new concept, shaping amplifier with band gap referenced baseline sta- bilizer, single threshold discriminator, dual-phase peak detector, timing detector, and logic for neighbor enabling. The readout process is based on token passing and flag.

The application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is realized in a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor 0.18 pm technology and is composed of 32 channels of charge sensitive preamplifier, third-order semi-Gaussian bipolar shaper, timing discriminator with independent channel adjustable threshold, and a 32-line address serial encoder to minimize the number of interconnections between the camera and the data acquisition system. Each chip has a maximum power dissipation of 125 mW. A mathematical model of the timing resolution as a function of the noise and slope at the discrimination point as well as the photoelectron statistics was developed and validated. So far, three ASIC prototypes implementing part of the electronics were sent to fabrication. Results from the characterization of the first two prototypes are presented and discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/08//Aug2004 Part 1 of 2 VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1358 EP - 1364 SN - 00189499 AB - A new front-end chip (FE-I2) has been developed for the ATLAS pixel detector at the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator facility of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). This chip has been submitted in a commercial 0.25-μm CMOS process using special layout techniques for radiation tolerance. It comprises 2880 pixels arranged into 18 columns of 160 channels. Each pixel element of dimension 50 μm x 400 μm is composed of a charge-sensitive amplifier followed by a fast discriminator with a detection threshold adjustable within a range of 0-6000 electrons and slow control logic incorporating a wired-hit-Or, preamplifier-kill, readout mask, and automatic threshold tuning circuitry. There are two single-event-upset (SEU)-tolerant DACs for reducing threshold (7-b) and recovery-time (3-b) mismatches from pixel to pixel along with digital hit emulation and a differential readout circuit aimed at transporting time-stamped data from each pixel to buffers at the bottom of the chip. In comparison to previous generations of the ATLAS pixel chip, FE-I2 incorporates many new features such as embedded "smart" decoupling capacitances, long-term overvoltage protection, linear regulators, a capacitance calibration charge-pump circuit, a power-on reset, and a leakage current monitoring circuit. Its predecessor (FE-I1) has been demonstrated to operate correctly after ionizing radiation doses exceeding 50 Mrad (SiO2). Special techniques employed for digital pick-up reduction are also described.

Capable of 4-400 M-frames/s and between 66 and 79 dB rms dynamic range, these developments are intended for the capture of fast, brief, transient events with high resolution. Applications include accelerator-based flash radiography such as proton radiography [1]. The first is a small two-dimensional (2-D) prototype in which each pixel includes either a capacitive trans-impedance amplifier or a direct-integration source-follower front end, followed by an array of 64 frame storage sample capacitors and associated readout electronics. The acquisition of either 32 frames using correlated double sampling (CDS) at 4 M-frames/s, or 64 frames without CDS at up to 10.5 M-frames/s (-3 dB), and up to 13 b dynamic range was achieved. The second is a monolithic solid state "streak camera:," a 1-D linear array of 150 photo diodes, with a 150-frame analog storage array. This device reached 400-M-frames/s operation with electrical test inputs, at least 100-M-frames/s operation with optical inputs, and achieves over 11 b of dynamic range. These circuits demonstrate the high performance possible with CMOS sensor circuits containing in situ frame storage.

The suitability of the SPRT for long-term monitoring applications is discussed, and the decision-making performance of the SPRT is compared to that of the commonly used single-interval test (SIT). The analysis spans a wide range of signal and background count rates so that results are applicable to sew son of all sizes operating in different ambient conditions, with a spectrum of alarm thresholds. It is demonstrated that, for these simulated long-term monitoring scenarios, decisions to issue an alarm when the measured count rate equals the threshold count rate are made 3-S times faster using the SPRT than with the SIT. The ability of the SPRT to provide an "all-clear" indication and the need for SPRT truncation strategies to limit decision times when the measured count rate falls between background and the specified threshold are also discussed. Under an early termination scenario, it is shown that a truncated SPRT retains a higher probability of detection.

All three systems contained 3He tubes, polyethylene to moderate the neutrons, and cadmium to filter out room-return thermal neutrons. The back and sides of the detectors were shielded with additional polyethylene or bonded polyethylene. The electronics gated off the data acquisition during the interrogating pulse, either bremsstrahlung photons from an electron linac or neutrons from a DT generator. The sensitivity of each detector system depends on the distance between the detector and nuclear material as well as on the intervening material. We present representative data for several configurations showing the performance of each system.

This goal may be achieved by means of individual portal monitors, or by a network of distributed sensors. We have examined the distributed sensing problem by modeling a network of scintillation detectors measuring a Cesium-137 source. We examine signal-to-noise behavior that arises in the simple combination of data from networked radiation sensors. We find that, in the ideal case, large increases in signal-to-noise compared to an individual detector can be achieved, even for a moving source. We also discuss statistical techniques for localizing and tracking single and multiple radioactive sources.

For ZnS:Mn, preliminary results indicate that impact energies greater than 1.6 Times; 10-2 J produced measurable TL light. A so-called "smart" structure with embedded TL material could be capable of determining whether a particle had struck, and record the relative intensity of its impact. In order to use such materials in space, we need to understand the radiation susceptibility of the TL phosphor. The corresponding proton dose required to reduce the proton-induced luminescence of ZnS:Mn to half of its initial value was found to be 9.02 × 1013 mm-2. This value will be used to help determine how incident protons affect the production of TL in ZnS:Mn.

Work by Bowen, et at, and Harmon, et at, has demonstrated their properties under gamma/X-ray irradiation, and Bell, et a!. have shown their response to thermal neutrons. This last work, however, provides an example of a silicone in which both the boron and the scintillator are contained in the rubber as solutes, a formulation which leads to the precipitation of solids and sublimation of the boron component. In the present work we describe a scintillator in which the boron is chemically bonded to the siloxane and so avoids the problem of precipitation and loss of boron to sublimation. Material containing up to 18% boron, by weight, was prepared, mounted on photomultipliers, and exposed to both neutron and gamma fluxes. Pulse height spectra showing the neutron and photon response were obtained, and although the light output was found to be much poorer than from samples in which boron was dissolved, the higher boron concentrations enabled essentially 100% neutron absorption in only a few millimeters of rubber.

The work was motivated by the rigorous requirements of the multiple-pulse imager for dynamic proton radiography. The optical imager has to provide large (>90%) optical fill factor, high quantum efficiency, 200-ns inter-frame time interval, and storage for >32 frames. In order to accommodate the massively parallel electronics including the signal storage for a large number of frames, it is necessary to provide novel 3-D interconnect and packaging architectures. Recently, a 3-D interconnect technology was successfully demonstrated to assemble a stack of 50 signal-processing chips into a cube. Each chip contained test connections (interconnect continuity only) simulating 160 channels of pixel read-out electronics. Test cube assemblies, based on these mock-up integrated circuits, have been fabricated to explore the feasibility of constructing functional cube arrays. A novel 3D integrated sensor-electronics (mirror-cube) imager architecture is proposed. We also briefly review progress in the custom fast image-processing electronics.

Undoped and doped crystals with Sn, In, and Ge were grown. The crystals showed resistivities up to 109 Ωcm and higher. The transport properties depended strongly on the dopant and the compensation mechanism. For the doping with a deep donor, the mobility-lifetime product of electrons were 2 × 10-5 cm/V and 4 × 10-4 m cm²/V for Ge and Sn doped, respectively. The highest values were obtained for In doped (Cd,Zn)Te with 3.3 × 10-3 cm²/V.

Assuming a perfectly diversified load before the price response, we show that TCA setpoint changes in response to the market price Will result in a redistribution of TCAs in on/off states and therefore change the probabilities for a unit to reside in each state. A randomly distributed load can be partially synchronized and the aggregated diversity lost. The loss of the load diversity can then create unexpected dynamics in the aggregated load profile. Raising issues such as restoring load diversity and damping the peak loads are also addressed in this paper.

This paper presents a detailed scaling analysis of a water tank experiment designed to model a large indoor space, and experimental results obtained with this model to assess the influence of furniture and people in the pollutant concentration field at breathing height. Theoretical calculations are derived for predicting the effects from losses of molecular diffusion, small scale eddies, turbulent kinetic energy, and turbulent mass diffusivity in a scale model, even without Reynolds number matching. Pollutant dispersion experiments were performed in a water-filled 30:1 scale model of a large room, using uranine dye injected continuously from a small point source. Pollutant concentrations were measured in a plane, using laser-induced fluorescence techniques, for three interior configurations: unobstructed, table-like obstructions, and table-like and figure-like obstructions. Concentrations within the measurement plane varied by more than an order of magnitude, even after the concentration field was fully developed. Objects in the model interior had a significant effect on both the concentration field and fluctuation intensity in the measurement plane. This scale model study demonstrates both the utility of scale models for investigating dispersion in indoor environments and the significant impact of turbulence created by furnishings and people on pollutant transport from floor level sources. In a room with no furniture or occupants, the average concentration can vary by about a factor of 3 across the room. Adding furniture and occupants can increase this spatial variation by another factor of 3.

JO - Indoor Air JF - Indoor Air Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 272 EP - 283 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09056947 AB - This paper reports on an investigation of the adequacy of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), using a standard Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model, for predicting dispersion of neutrally buoyant gas in a large indoor space. We used CFD to predict pollutant (dye) concentration distribution in a water-filled scale model of an atrium with a continuous pollutant source in the absence of furniture and occupants. Predictions from the RANS formulation are comparable with an ensemble average of independent identical experiments. Model results were compared with pollutant concentration data in a horizontal plane from experiments in a scale model atrium. Predictions were made for steady-state (fully developed) and transient (developing) pollutant concentrations. Agreement between CFD predictions and ensemble averaged experimental measurements is quantified using the ratios of CFD-predicted and experimentally measured dye concentration at a large number of points in the measurement plane. Agreement is considered good if these ratios fall between 0.5 and 2.0 at all points in the plane. The standard k-epsilon two-equation turbulence model obtains this level of agreement and predicts pollutant arrival time to the measurement plane within a few seconds. These results suggest that this modeling approach is adequate for predicting isothermal pollutant transport in a large room with simple geometry. CFD modeling of pollutant transport is becoming increasingly common but high quality comparisons between CFD and experiment remain rare. Our results provide such a comparison. We demonstrate that the standard k-epsilon model provides good predictions for both transient and fully developed pollutant concentrations for an isothermal large space where furnishings are unimportant. This model is less computationally intensive than a large eddy simulation or low Reynolds number k-epsilon model.

Measurements were performed using light sources ranging from 632.8 to 1565 nm. These experiments represent the first measurement of dimensionless extinction constant for soot produced from JP-8 flames. The Ke values did not display significant spectral variations that were observed for pure fuels such as acetylene and ethene. The measured Ke values ranged from 9.75 to 9.95 in the wavelength range between 632.8 and 1565 nm. Measurements provide a more reliable value of Ke for use in optical-based soot diagnostics for soot concentration and temperature measurement as well as for soot radiation analysis.

Users naturally want their programs to adapt to hardware faults and continue running. Researchers have explored a number of different approaches to providing fault tolerance in MPI programs. A particular MPI implementation (no more or less standard-conforming than any other) may still extend (or restrict) the class of MPI programs that will exhibit various degrees of fault tolerance when linked with a particular MPI implementation and executed. of The highest level of survival is that the MPI implementation automatically recovers from some set of faults and the MPI program, regardless of its structure, continues without significant change to its behavior. A second level of survival is that the program is notified of the problem and is prepared to take corrective action.

These improvements are most likely to be realized with the reconceptualization of the mass spectrometer, rather than by incremental steps towards miniaturization. Microfabricated arrays of mass analyzers represent such a conceptual advance. A massively parallel array of micrometer-scaled mass analyzers on a chip has the potential to set the performance standard for hand-held sensors due to the inherit selectivity, sensitivity, and universal applicability of mass spectrometry as an analytical method. While the effort to develop a complete micro-MS system must include innovations in ultra-small-scale sample introduction, ion sources, mass analyzers, detectors, and vacuum and power subsystems, the first step towards radical miniaturization lies in the design, fabrication, and characterization of the mass analyzer itself. In this paper we discuss design considerations and results from simulations of ion trapping behavior for a micrometer scale cylindrical ion trap (CIT) mass analyzer (internal radius r0 = 1μm). We also present a description of the design and microfabrication of a 0.25cm2 array of 106 one-micrometer CITs, including integrated ion detectors, constructed in tungsten on a silicon substrate.

The structure of nuclei containing one antiproton or antilambda is investigated within the framework of a relativistic mean-field model. Self-consistent calculations predict an enhanced binding and considerable compression in such systems as compared with normal nuclei. We present arguments that the life time of such nuclei with respect to the antibaryon annihilation might be long enough for their observation.

Intermediate (i.e., relaxed) configuration spaces associated with these deformation maps are identified and then classified from the differential-geometric point of view. A fundamental issue is the proper selection of coordinate systems and metric tensors in these configurations when such configurations are classified as anholonomic. The particular choice of a global, external Cartesian coordinate system and corresponding covariant identity tensor as a metric on an intermediate configuration space is shown to be a constitutive assumption often made regardless of the existence of geometrically necessary crystal defects associated with the anholonomicity (i.e., the non-Euclidean nature) of the space. Since the metric tensor on the anholonomic configuration emerges necessarily in the definitions of scalar products, certain transpose maps, tensorial symmetry operations, and Jacobian invariants, its selection should not be trivialized. Several alternative (i.e., non-Euclidean) representations proposed in the literature for the metric tensor on anholonomic spaces are critically examined.

Frequently, these data must be integrated with data from other sources to meet application requirements. A critical first step in this process of data integration is to identify the correspondences between networks, so that data can be merged or transferred from one network to another. This paper introduces a semiautomated method that combines an automated algorithm and an interactive procedure to match networks that are represented differently. The automated algorithm establishes robust correspondences for nodes, edges, and segments between two networks using a cluster-based matching mechanism. The interactive procedure allows a user to visually check and correct correspondences that are mismatched by the automated algorithm. Two matching examples are presented in the paper to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The results of these two matching examples illustrate that this semiautomated method is highly effective and can meet the needs of real-world applications. The automated algorithm is capable of generating reliable matching measures, resolving difficult matches, and in both cases, correctly identifying the overwhelming majority of the matching counterparts. The interactive procedure, on the other hand, is useful for checking and correcting mismatched counterparts during the early stage of the matching process, which significantly improves performance and reliability.

A metal housing (i.e. test fixture) encloses the micro-pyrolyzer and serves as a manifold for the air carrier gas. The test fixture was interfaced to a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer via a direct capillary (100 μm×1.4 m). The 360–440 °C pyrolysis of B. anthracis spores produced dipicolinic acid (DPA) similar to that from a furnace pyrolyzer. In further studies, B. anthracis spores subjected to thermal hydrolysis methylation conditions produced ions characteristic of dipicolinic acid dimethyl ester. Results demonstrate the micro-pyrolyzer devices are capable of temperatures and heating rates to perform pyrolysis and thermal hydrolysis methylation.

Appl. Electrochem. 32 (2002) 1101-1107). This paper presents the results of application of the proposed technique to conventional zinc electrowinning. Strong correlations are observed between deposit metallographic structure and the polarization characteristics. The results demonstrate that the new galvano-staircase method can be used to predict long-term (i.e. substrate-independent) deposit morphology, based on relatively rapid electrochemical measurements. With sufficient knowledge of the system, beneficial changes can be specified for additives, particularly long term averages. However even interactive, control on an hourly basis should be possible.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 43 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1069 EP - 1082 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948763 AB - Comparisons are made between the postsunrise breakup of temperature inversions in two similar closed basins in very different climate settings, one in the eastern Alps and one in the Rocky Mountains. The small, high-altitude, limestone sinkholes have both experienced extreme temperature minima below -50°C and both develop strong nighttime inversions. On undisturbed clear nights, temperature inversions reach to 120-m heights in both sinkholes but are much stronger in the drier Rocky Mountain basin (24 vs 13 K). Inversion destruction takes place 2.6–3 h after sunrise in these basins and is accomplished primarily by subsidence warming associated with the removal of air from the base of the inversion by the upslope flows that develop over heated sidewalls. A conceptual model of this destruction is presented, emphasizing the asymmetry of the boundary layer development around the basin and the effects of solar shading by the surrounding ridgeline. Differences in inversion strengths and postsunrise heating rates between the two basins are caused by differences in the surface energy budget, with drier soil and a higher sensible heat flux in the Rocky Mountain sinkhole. Inversions in the small basins break up more quickly following sunrise than for previously studied valleys. The pattern of inversion breakup in the non-snow-covered basins is the same as that reported in snow-covered Colorado valleys. The similar breakup patterns in valleys and basins suggest that along-valley wind systems play no role in the breakups, since the small basins have no along-valley wind system.

Data were analyzed for a non-snow-covered October night and for a snow-covered December night when the temperature fell as low as -28.5°C. A surprising finding is that temperatures were similar in two sinkholes with very different drainage areas and depths. A three-layer model was used to show that the sky-view factor is the most important topographic parameter controlling cooling for basins in this size range in near-calm, clear-sky conditions and that the cooling slows when net longwave radiation at the floor of the sinkhole is nearly balanced by the ground heat flux.

Seven-period InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structures (MQW) were deposited on 5 and 15 μm GaN template layers. It was found that the electroluminescence emission of the 15 μm device was redshifted by approximately 132 meV. Triple-axis x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy show that the 15 μm template layer device was virtually unstrained while the 5 μm layer experienced tensile strain. Dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiles show that the 15 μm template layer device had an average indium concentration of 11% higher than that of the 5 μm template layer device even though the MQW structures were deposited during the same growth run. It was also found that the 15 μm layer device had a higher average growth rate than the 5 μm template layer device. This difference in indium concentration and growth rate was due to changes in thermodynamic limitations caused by strain differences in the template layers.

Single crystals of 6H-SiC with (0001) orientation were irradiated with 150 keV Xe ions to fluences of 1015 and 1016 /cm2, followed by annealing at 890°C. Full epitaxial recrystallization took place in a specimen implanted with 1015 Xe ions, while retardation of recrystallization was observed in a specimen implanted with 1016 /cm2 Xe ions. Atomic pair-distribution function analyses and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy results suggested that the retardation of recrystallization of the 1016 Xe/cm2 implanted sample is attributed to the difference in amorphous structures between the 1015 and 1016 Xe/cm2 implanted samples, i.e., more chemically disordered atomistic structure and higher Xe impurity concentration in the 1016 Xe/cm2 implanted sample.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/08//8/1/2004 VL - 96 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1591 EP - 1600 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Radio-frequency superconducting (SRF) cavities are widely used to accelerate a charged particle beam in particle accelerators. The performance of SRF cavities made of bulk niobium has significantly improved over the last ten years and is approaching the theoretical limit for niobium. Nevertheless, RF tests of niobium cavities are still showing some “anomalous” losses that require a better understanding in order to reliably obtain better performance. These losses are characterized by a marked dependence of the surface resistance on the surface electromagnetic field and can be detected by measuring the quality factor of the resonator as a function of the peak surface field. A low-temperature (100–150 °C) “in situ” bake under ultrahigh vacuum has been successfully applied as final preparation of niobium RF cavities by several laboratories over the last few years. The benefits reported consist mainly of an improvement of the cavity quality factor at low field and a recovery from “anomalous” losses (so-called “Q drop”) without field emission at higher field. A series of experiments with a CEBAF single-cell cavity have been carried out at Jefferson Lab to carefully investigate the effect of baking at progressively higher temperatures for a fixed time on all the relevant material parameters. Measurements of the cavity quality factor in the temperature range 1.37–280 K and resonant frequency shift between 6–9.3 K provide information about the surface resistance, energy gap, penetration depth, and mean free path. The experimental data have been analyzed with the complete BCS theory of superconductivity. The hydrogen content of small niobium samples inserted in the cavity during its surface preparation was analyzed with nuclear reaction analysis. The single-cell cavity has been tested at three different temperatures before and after baking to gain some insight on thermal conductivity and Kapitza resistance and the data are compared with different models. This paper describes the results of these experiments and comments on existing models to explain the effect of baking on the performance of niobium RF cavities.

Depending on the surface treatment, e.g., ex situ UV generated ozone or annealing in oxygen or vacuum, the valence band maximum position shifts by more than 2 eV, whereas the oxide core levels shift by less than 0.6 eV. These findings indicate that extremely careful cleaning procedures must be applied, as surface composition and film morphology are of paramount importance in the determination of the electronic structure of the crystalline oxides. In addition, the interfaces between SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 and Si are shown to be unstable at annealing temperatures required to thoroughly clean and order the surface.

We observe the phase transformational sequence (i) cubic (C)→ tetragonal (T)→ rhombohedral (R) in the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) condition; (ii) C→T→ monoclinic (MC)→ monoclinic (MA) in the field-cooled (FC) condition; and (iii) R→MA→MC→T with increasing field at fixed temperature beginning from the ZFC condition. Upon removal of the field, the MA phase is stable at room temperature in the FC condition, and also in the ZFC condition with increasing field. Several subtleties of our findings are discussed based on results from thermal expansion and dielectric measurements, including (i) the stability of the MA phase, (ii) a difference in lattice parameters between inside bulk and outside layer regions, and (iii) a difference in the phase transition temperature between XRD and dielectric data.

The treatment of the oxide film surface ranges from ex situ ultraviolet generated ozone to annealing in O2 or ultrahigh vacuum. Depending on surface treatment, the valence band offset varies from 2.38 to 2.64 eV for SrTiO3/Si heterostructure and from 2.35 to 2.66 eV for BaTiO3/Si. These values imply that the conduction band minimum of the oxide is below that of the semiconductor, a situation referred to as negative conduction band offset. We demonstrate that the SrTiO3/Si and BaTiO3/Si interfaces undergo significant chemical changes during surface cleaning of the oxide film.

The state of the wire core depends both on the amount of energy deposited before the voltage breakdown and on the heating conditions. For small amounts of deposited energy (on the order of solid-stage enthalpy), the wire core remains in a solid state or is partially disintegrated. For a high level of deposited energy (more than vaporization energy) the wire core is in a gas-plasma state. For an intermediate level of deposited energy (more than melting but less than vaporization), the wire disintegrates into hot liquid microdrops or clusters of submicron size. For a wire core in the cluster state, interferometry demonstrates weak (or even absent) phaseshift. Light emission shows a "firework effect"—the long late-time radiation related to the emission by the expanding cylinder of hot microparticles. For the wire core in a gas-plasma state, interferometry demonstrates a large phaseshift and a fast reduction in light emission due to adiabatic cooling of the expanding wire core. The simulation of this firework effect agrees well with experimental data, assuming submicron size and a temperature approaching boiling for the expanded microparticles cylinder.

T1 - Dietary reconstruction of an early to middle Holocene human population from the central California coast: insights from advanced stable isotope mixing models JO - Journal of Archaeological Science JF - Journal of Archaeological Science Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 31 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1101 EP - 1115 SN - 03054403 AB - The inherent sampling and preservational biases of the archaeological record make it difficult to quantify prehistoric human diets, especially in coastal settings, where populations had access to a wide range of marine and terrestrial food sources. In certain cases, geochemical proxies such as stable isotope ratios may be utilized to provide robust estimates on the relative proportions of various food resources consumed by prehistoric populations. The Harkins Slough archaeological site (SCR-60/130) is an early to middle Holocene coastal assemblage located on Monterey Bay in central CA. The carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope composition of human burials and associated archaeofauna excavated from the site were measured for input into a concentration-dependent isotope mixing model that is able to statistically discriminate among multiple (>3) food sources. The human burials segregate into two distinct groups, an early (∼7000 bp) and middle (∼4500 bp) Holocene population with significant dietary differences. Stable isotope analyses indicate a 70–84% marine food source contribution for the early Holocene group (EHG), but only a 48–58% marine dietary contribution for the middle Holocene group (MHG). Results also suggest that pinnipeds were an important marine food source for both groups. Modeling results are in agreement with archaeological evidence from southern CA, suggesting that early Holocene coastal populations were highly dependent on marine resources, with the ability to procure both littoral and pelagic species. Further, the use of terrestrial plant sources likely increased over time, with the feasible contribution range doubling from the EHG (4–30%, mean 19%) to MHG (10–52%, mean 38%). This trend is supported by regional archaeological evidence for the advent of technological innovations linked to intensive terrestrial plant processing beginning in the middle Holocene. Methodologically, this work demonstrated the utility of a concentration-dependent stable isotope mixing model in an iterative framework to provide feasible ranges of dietary contribution when the number of food sources is too high to allow a unique solution.

Within the latter approach, the local spin-density approximation, the generalized gradient approximation, and hybrid density functionals were considered. To describe the uranium atom we employed small-core (60 electrons) and large-core (78 electrons) relativistic effective core potentials (RECPs), as well as the all-electron approximation based on the two-component third-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian. For structural properties, we obtained very good agreement with experiment with DFT and both large and small-core RECPs. The best match with experiment is given by the hybrid functionals with the small-core RECP. The bond dissociation energy (BDE) was obtained from the relative energies of the fragments [UF6→UF5+F], corrected for zero-point energy and spin-orbit interaction. Very good agreement was found between the BDE obtained from all-electron calculations and those calculated with the small-core RECP, while those from the large-core RECP are off by more than 50%. In order to obtain good agreement with experiment in the BDE it is imperative to work with hybrid density functionals and a small-core RECP. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Solutions of 5 molal NaNO3 were found to migrate downward 24–62% faster than pure water, in an unstable, fingered manner. This behavior was attributed primarily to a surface tension induced, non-zero apparent contact angle between the imbibing and the resident fluids. For saline solutions of similar surface tension to that of pure water (achieved by the addition of 2% methanol), the migration rates and plume shapes were comparable to that of water, demonstrating that density was not the primary source of the observed differences in migration patterns. At depths where resident saturation increased above residual, the migration process appeared to occur via film flow with slight changes in saturation (<4%), rather than in a series of abrupt jumps, as observed at shallower depths. A method for contact angle scaling was used to illustrate the effects of non-zero contact angles on capillary pressure–saturation curves.

Batch experiments, in which ozone-containing gas was continuously recycled through a soil bed, were conducted to quantify the rate of ozone self-decomposition and the rates of ozone interaction with soil organic and inorganic matter. Column experiments were conducted to measure ozone breakthrough from a soil column. Parameters such as ozone flow rate, soil mass, and ozonation time were varied in these experiments. After ozone concentration had reached steady state, the total organic carbon concentration was measured for all soil samples. The ozonation efficiency, represented by the ratio of soil organic matter consumed to the total ozone input, was quantified for each experiment. Numerical simulations were conducted to simulate experimentally obtained column breakthrough curves. Experimentally obtained kinetic rate constants were used in these simulations, and the results were in good agreement with experimental data. In contrast to previous studies in which soil inorganic matter was completely ignored, our experiments indicate that soil inorganic matter may also promote depletion of ozone, thus reducing the overall ozonation efficiency. Three-dimensional numerical simulations were conducted to predict the efficacy of ozonation for soil remediation in the field. These simulations indicate that such ozonation can be very effective, provided that effective circulation of ozone is achieved through appropriately placed wells.

The photoluminescent intensities of the phosphors prepared in ethanol and ethylenediamine increased by about 30% compared to that of the phosphor prepared by the conventional urea homogeneous precipitation in aqueous solution. Amorphous carbonates and amorphous hydroxides/carbonates mixtures were identified as precursors from ethanol and ethylenediamine, respectively.

The samples with non-vanishing coefficients are called support vectors. In this work we establish lower (asymptotical) bounds on the number of support vectors. On our way we prove several results which are of great importance for the understanding of SVMs. In particular, we describe to which "limit" SVM decision functions tend, discuss the corresponding notion of convergence and provide some results on the stability of SVMs using subdifferential calculus in the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space.

The flow meter consisted of a micromechanical plate, coupled to a laser deflection system to measure the deflection of the plate during fluid flow. The 100 pm square plate was clamped on three sides and elevated 3 pm above the bottom surface of the channel. The response of the flow meter was measured for flow rates, ranging from 2.1 to 41.7 µL/min. Several fluids, with dynamic viscosities ranging from 0.8 to 4.5 × 10-3 N/rn, were flowed through the channels. Flow was established in the microfluidic channel by means of a syringe pump, and the angular deflection of the plate monitored. The response of the plate to flow of a fluid with a viscosity of 4.5 × 10-3 N/rn was linear for all flow rates, while the plate responded linearly to flow rates less than 4.2 µL/min of solutions with lower dynamic viscosities. The sensitivity of the deflection of the plate to fluid flow was 12.5 ± 0.2 µbrad/(µL/min), for a fluid with a viscosity of 4.5 × 10-3 N/rn. The encapsulated plate provided local flow information along the length of a microfluidic channel.

A boundary condition for the RE is developed that relates the pressure at the beam edge to the beam motion. The coefficients in this boundary condition are determined from Navier-Stokes slip-jump (NSSJ) simulations for small slip lengths (relative to the gap height) and from direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) molecular gas dynamics simulations for larger slip lengths. This boundary condition significantly improves the accuracy of the RE when the microbeam width is only slightly greater than the gap height between the microbeam and the substrate. The improved RE model is applied to microbeams fabricated using the SUMMIT V process.

The experiments were carried out at a frequency of 137 GHz in the EV-16 melter at Clemson Environmental Technology Laboratory (CETL) with 245 lbs. (111 kG) of glass and a total of 4.2 lbs. (1.9 kG) of added salt. The dynamics of salt layer build up were observed from the initial formation of small drops of about 5 mm diameter or less to larger pools >28 mm cross-section that were coincident with the increase in millimeter-wave surface level fluctuations causing the salt to flow back and forth until a continuous layer was formed. The millimeter-wave emissivity at 137 GHz of DWPF black frit glass melt and molten sodium sulfate salt at 950 °C was determined to be 0.64 ± 0.05 and 0.44 ± 0.05, respectively.

The monolithic aerogels were prepared through the sol–gel polymerization of hydrated thorium nitrate in ethanol using ammonium hydroxide and propylene oxide as gelation initiators. The dried ThO2 aerogel was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analyses. The aerogel network was determined to be composed of spherical primary particles with features in the 5–20 nm range. These particles were also determined to be highly crystalline as evidenced by the higher magnification TEM examination. The thoria aerogel possesses high surface area (120 m2/g) and pore diameters in the micro- and mesoporous range.

In this paper, these models are extended to other BMG systems, and the reliability and feasibility of these models for assessing glass-forming ability (GFA) and the thermal stability of BMGs are carefully examined. It was found that these models are not suitable for evaluating the thermal stability of BMGs in other alloy systems. Instead, a weak correlation between the parameters calculated based on these models (i.e., the electronegativity difference Δx and the atomic size difference δ) and the GFA of BMGs is observed. Our analyses indicate that these two models only partially reflect the effects of the atomic bonding nature and the atomic size ratios on the GFA and need to be further refined.

Three reduced activation structural materials have emerged as promising candidates, based on 8–9Cr ferritic/martensitic steels, V–Cr–Ti alloys, and SiC/SiC composites. Due to advances in understanding how to control and engineer the nanoscale phase stability required for harsh neutron irradiation environments, these reduced activation materials have unirradiated properties that are superior to commercially available analogs. Perhaps the most important accomplishment to date from fusion materials research is the radiation effects knowledge base. Models of radiation effects and supporting experiments highlight the critical role of helium production on the microstructural stability and lifetime of irradiated materials. The proposed International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) would fill a critical need for fusion materials development.

Much of the recent research has focused on vanadium alloys containing 4–5% Cr and 4–5% Ti, but a number of alternative compositions and processing routes have been explored in an effort to achieve improved performance. The goal of this paper is to review significant new results and to highlight critical issues that remain for future research. Progress in understanding the influence of interstitial impurities on microstructural evolution in both thermal and radiation environments are covered. The current state of knowledge of hardening and embrittlement of vanadium alloys in response to neutron irradiation is reviewed. Atomic-scale computer simulations to elucidate fundamental irradiation damage mechanisms are presented. The thermal and irradiation creep behavior of V–4Cr–4Ti is summarized along with an overview of the effects of He on tensile properties.

Favourable features of SiCf/SiC composites are the high temperature properties and the low activation characteristics at short and medium term. Conversely, the material has some critical issues such as the remarkable gas production due to nuclear transmutation and properties degradation induced by radiation exposure. Continuous progress in R&D and in particular the availability of advanced fibres and improved processing methods, as well as alternative solutions for fibre–matrix interfaces, has led to composites with higher thermo-mechanical characteristics and better radiation stability. This paper reports the issues of fusion reactor studies, the progress in material R&D and the latest results of radiation exposure studies.

Depending on the defect cluster obstacle strength, either the dispersed barrier hardening model or the Friedel–Kroupa–Hirsch weak barrier model can be used to describe major aspects of radiation hardening. Irradiation at low temperature can cause a change in deformation mode from dislocation cell formation at low doses to twinning or dislocation channeling at higher doses. The detailed interaction between dislocations and defect clusters helps determine the dominant deformation mode. Recent observations of the microstructure created by plastic deformation of quenched and irradiated metals are summarized, including in situ deformation results. Examples of annihilation of stacking fault tetrahedra by gliding dislocations and subsequent formation of mobile superjogs are shown.

A detailed understanding of the mechanisms of defect accumulation and microstructure evolution, and the corresponding effects on mechanical properties is required to predict their in-service structural performance limits. The physical processes involved in radiation damage, and its effects on mechanical properties, are inherently multiscale and hierarchical, spanning length and time scales from the atomic nucleus to meters and picosecond to decades. In this paper, we present a multiscale modeling methodology to describe radiation effects within the fusion energy environment. Selected results from atomic scale investigation are presented, focusing on (i) the mechanisms of self-interstitial dislocation loop formation with Burgers vector of a〈1 0 0〉 in iron relative to vanadium, (ii) helium transport and (iii) the interaction between helium and small self-interstitial clusters in iron, and (iv) dislocation-helium bubble interactions in fcc aluminum.

There are very few candidate materials because Li dissolves most oxides and many carbides and nitrides do not have sufficient electrical resistivity for this application. Based on thermodynamic considerations and testing of bulk ceramics, the most promising materials are Y2O3, Er2O3 and AlN. Coatings of these materials are being fabricated by a variety of processing techniques and their resistivity and microstructure characterized. Electrical resistivity results from Y2O3 coatings as-deposited and after exposure to Li are presented. Self-healing and in situ coatings are being investigated based on CaO from Li–Ca and Er2O3 from Li–Er. Because there are likely to be cracks in any coatings, a dual-layer system with a thin outer layer of vanadium appears to be a more attractive MHD coating system.

Although these technologies derive their utility from different nuclear reactions and divergent applications, they experience many common features. Further, the physical mechanisms of radiation response are cross-cutting. For example, swelling, phase instability, hardening, flow localization, and embrittlement must be understood in order to estimate component lifetimes. Additional commonalities include reliance on the same classes of materials and sometimes on the identical alloy for critical components. In addition, databases supporting designs are mainly derived from the same relatively few irradiation facilities and from similar types of experiments. Opportunities are examined for coordinated efforts. Emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental knowledge to support alloy design strategies for resistance to irradiation and to form a scientific basis to develop better materials.

Suitable compositions for a matrix stabilised by vanadium nitride (VN) particles were firstly suggested on the basis of phase stability calculations using the thermodynamic software MTDATA. A neural network method was then used to predict the creep rupture stress of the possible compositions. It was predicted that a creep rupture stress close to 100 MPa for 100 000 h at 650 °C could be achievable. Finally, the precipitation and growth kinetics of VN were calculated using an existing kinetic model. These calculations suggested that a fine (nanometre-scale) and homogeneous distribution of particles could be obtained using a high nucleation site density. This could, in principle, be achieved using thermomechanical treatments and should be even better than alloys produced using the classical normalization and tempering route.

It was previously reported that the ductile–brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of F82H-IEA and its heat treatment variant increased by about 130 K after irradiation at 573 K up to 5 dpa. Moreover, the shifts in ORNL9Cr–2WVTa and JLF-1 steels were much smaller, and the differences could not be interpreted as an effect of irradiation hardening. The precipitation behavior of the irradiated steels was examined by weight analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis on extraction residues, and SEM/EDS analysis was performed on extraction replica samples and fracture surfaces. These analyses suggested that the difference in the extent of DBTT shift could be explained by (1) smaller irradiation hardening at low test temperatures caused by irradiation-induced lath structure recovery (in JLF-1), and (2) the fracture stress increase caused by the irradiation-induced over-solution of Ta (in ORNL9Cr–2WVTa).

Up to ∼460 °C irradiated EP-823 was found to fracture in a brittle mode at low strength levels, but no significant change in mechanical properties occurred at temperatures >460 °C. When compared to EP-450 often used in Russia it is observed that EP-823 is rather more brittle, with the primary microstructural difference being the formation of M2X in EP-823 instead of α′ precipitates in EP-450. On the other hand, EP-823 appears to be somewhat more resistant to void swelling. Both of these attributes are thought to arise primarily from the higher silicon content of EP-823.

The examinations confirm a high resistance of EP-450 steel to void swelling, but the resistance appears to be lower when the dpa rate is reduced. Depending on irradiation dose and temperature the following was observed: voids (285–520 °C), dislocation loops and linear dislocations (275–520 °C), α′-phase (285–520 °C), χ-phase (460–590 °C), and M2X precipitates (460–690 °C). It appears that the formation of dislocation loops and α′ precipitates at high densities is responsible for the low temperature embrittlement observed in this steel.

Pressurized tubes were irradiated in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) to doses ranging from 40 to 110 dpa at temperatures ranging from 400 to 600 °C. None of the stress-free tubes exhibited any evidence of swelling as determined by diameter change measurements. With a few exceptions, the irradiation creep behavior is similar to that of conventional ferritic-martensitic steels. Calculated creep compliance values are equal to those of HT9 irradiated within the same temperature range, except at 600 °C where the creep rate of MA957 is about one-half the value for HT9. The magnitude of the creep transient for MA957 is comparable to HT9, again except at 600 °C where the transient is much lower for MA957.

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to characterize the sequence-of-events and the necessary ingredients for the formation of nanoclusters (NCs) during processing, as well as their thermal stability during high temperature aging. Mechanical alloying (MA) dissolves Y2O3 in the master alloy Fe–Cr–W powders. A large population of 1–2 nm NCs precipitate during subsequent high temperature consolidation. The NC sizes increase and their volume fractions and number densities decrease with increasing the consolidation temperature. Both Ti and Y are necessary for NC formation at higher temperatures. The NCs in MA957 are stable during aging at 1150 °C for times up to 243 h, but systematically coarsen at 1200 °C. The NCs coarsen rapidly and become unstable at higher aging temperatures. Variations in the alloy hardness are consistent with differences in the NC sizes and number densities.

Y+ and O+ ions were implanted into ferritic alloys at room temperature. Both in situ annealing in an electron microscope for thin samples and conventional annealing for bulk samples were carried out at 300–1300 K. Nano-particles of Y2O3 precipitated during annealing, where the starting temperatures for the nucleation and growth depended on the annealing methods. In thin specimens the growth and nucleation of Y2O3 started at 573 and 613 K. In bulk specimens, the growth and nucleation shifted to higher temperatures. Compared with conventional Mechanical Alloying, it is concluded that dual ion-implantation can produce much finer distributions of nano-scale oxides. In order to explain these results, we emphasize the roles of super-saturated elements and lattice defects.

Hydrogen can be trapped by lattice defects, dislocations, vacancies and voids, which are effective up to 500 °C. Unexpected softening occurred at low levels of hydrogen, and hardening occurred at high levels. Alloying elements intensified the hardening, which are seen as general phenomena in V and V based alloys. A significant effect was seen for dynamic charging, which was attributed to fast diffusion and interactions with mobile dislocations.

For irradiated CVD-SiC, the defect concentrations at saturation were estimated to range from 25 300 appm (250 °C) down to 940 appm (800 °C). The transverse thermal conductivity ratios after-to-before irradiation (Kir/Ko) determined at the irradiation temperatures ranged from: 0.044 (250 °C) up to 0.12 (800 °C) for irradiated CVD-SiC and 0.18 (330 °C) up to 0.29 (800 °C) for the irradiated Hi-Nicalon™ composite. Analysis of thermal diffusivity values for the Hi-Nicalon composite measured in air, argon, helium and vacuum indicated that thermal conductivity degradation occurred primarily due to point defect accumulation in the matrix component. After annealing to 1200 °C and cooling to ambient, fiber/matrix debonding occurred due to net shrinkage in the fiber and PyC interface components.

In situ radiation-induced conductivity is also measured for ionizing dose rates up to ∼5 Gy/s (X-ray). Thermal conductivity degradation for CVD SiC is presented in detail exhibiting a substantial reduction from the non-irradiated value of ∼370 W/m K. Thermal conductivity of irradiated stoichiometric fiber, CVI SiC matrix composite is also given. A thermal defect resistance approach is used to analyze this data yielding optimum irradiated thermal conductivity for SiC. Neutron irradiation has a permanent, but small effect on electrical conductivity. In the absence of impurity doping effects the neutron damage tends to increase resistivity by less than an order of magnitude. Those SiC materials with electrical resistivities less than ∼0.1 S/m undergo little increase in conductivity due to ionizing irradiation, while more than a two order of magnitude increase in electrical conductivity is measured for the highest resistivity form of SiC studied.

The mechanical properties of RS-SiCf/SiC composites reinforced with Hi-Nicalon SiC fiber have been investigated at elevated temperatures, in conjunction with a detailed analysis of their microstructures. The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and strength of RS-SiC material was also examined. The characterization of RS-SiC based materials was evaluated by means of SEM, EDS and three point bend test. The RS-SiC material showed an average density of 3.0 Mg/cm3 and an average strength of about 550 MPa. However, the strength of RS-SiC material decreased with increasing heat treatment times. The RS-SiCf/SiC composite also experienced a reduction of room temperature strength at a test temperature of 1300 °C, owing to the creation of internal defects such as matrix oxidation, interfacial debonding and fiber degradation.

To identify the primary mechanisms of degradation caused by neutron irradiation, the radiation behavior of the constituent SiC fibers needs to be examined. In this study, single filament tensile tests were conducted after neutron irradiation on a recently developed highly-crystalline and near-stoichiometric SiC fiber; Hi-Nicalon™ Type-S. Hi-Nicalon™ Type-S fiber exhibited excellent strength retention up to 7.7 dpa independent of irradiation temperature up to 800 °C. The radiation stability of the Hi-Nicalon™ Type-S fiber directly contributed to the excellent radiation performance in composites made with this fiber. The observed 14–20% decrease of elastic modulus due to neutron irradiation of Hi-Nicalon™ Type-S fiber had a minor effect on composite strength.

After thermal impact of about 6 MW/m2, melted phases around W/SiC interphase and reduction of thermal conductivity were observed. It was suggested that the temperature of the W/SiC interphase was raised to the melting point of a reaction phase, by the thermal impact of about 6 MW/m2, and therefore a melted phase flowed out from the W/SiC interphase and cracks, reducing the thermal conductivity. Numerical calculations showed that the temperature of the W/SiC interphase could be controlled by the thickness of the W coating. The relation between melted phases and reduction of thermal conductivity will be investigated.

SEM and TEM observations verified that SiC/C multi-layer interphase was formed on SiC fibers. Both flexural and tensile strengths of SiC/SiC composite with SiC/C multi-layer interphase were approximately 10% higher than composites fabricated with single carbon interphase. The SEM observation of fracture surface for the composite with SiC/C multi-layer interphase revealed cylindrical steps formed around the fiber. Apparently several crack deflections occurred within SiC/C multi-layer interphase. Moreover, the SiC/C multi-layer applied in this study operated efficiently to improve the mechanical properties.

Degradation of the composite bend properties due to neutron irradiation was observed. The hardness increased after neutron irradiation for both the SiC-matrix and the Hi-Nicalon fiber. There was almost no change in the elastic modulus of the SiC-matrix, but there was an increase in the modulus of the Hi-Nicalon fiber after neutron irradiation. He pre-implantation had almost a negligible effect on the mechanical properties of the composite specimen.

A novel SiC/SiC composite, which has recently been developed through nano-infiltration and transient eutectic-phase (NITE) processing route, surpasses conventional materials in many of these properties. In this paper, the latest development, property evaluation and prospect of the NITE SiC/SiC composites are briefly reviewed. The topics range from fundamental aspects of process development to industrial process development. Elevated temperature strength, fracture behavior, and thermo-physical properties in various environments are summarized. Future directions of materials and application technology development are also discussed.

After heat treatment, room temperature tensile strength and 1-h bend stress relaxation (BSR) at 1400 °C in Ar were evaluated for these fibers. As a result, excellent strength retention was exhibited after heat treatment at temperature up to 1780 °C for the Hi-Nicalon™ type S fiber and up to 1900 °C for the Tyranno™-SA fiber. In contrast, relatively low strength retention was observed for Hi-Nicalon™ fiber heat-treated above 1600 °C. Creep resistance of the as-received fibers was improved by high-temperature heat treatments, especially at temperatures above the fiber''s processing temperature. The microstructure analysis by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that properties of SiC fibers at elevated temperatures are controlled by crystallite size as well as by other factors.

This paper presents results derived from nominally similar irradiations conducted on six Russian steels, all laboratory heat variants of Fe–16Cr–15Ni–3Mo–Nb–B, with each irradiated in two fast reactors, BOR-60 and BN-350. The BN-350 irradiation proceeded at a dpa rate three times higher than that conducted in BOR-60. In all six steels, a significantly higher swelling level was attained in BOR-60, agreeing with the results of earlier studies.

Other studies yielded similar results for AISI 316. In the current study a blanket duct assembly from BN-350, constructed from the Soviet analog of AISI 316, also exhibits swelling at dpa rates on the order of 10-8 dpa/s, with voids seen as low as 281 °C and only 1.3 dpa. It appears that low-temperature swelling at low dpa rates occurs in 300 series stainless steels in general, and during irradiations conducted in either fast or mixed spectrum reactors.

Isochronal and isothermal experiments were performed at temperatures between 700 and 1300 °C for 304 and 316L stainless steels. In 1 h isochronal experiments, helium was released beginning at ∼900 °C and reaching almost 100% at 1300 °C. No apparent differences in helium release were observed between the two stainless steel types. At temperatures between 900 and 1300 °C, the diffusion rate was calculated from the time dependence of the helium release rate to be: D0=4.91 cm2/s, E=289 kJ/mol. The observed activation energy suggests that the release of helium from the steels is associated with the removal of helium from helium bubbles and/or from vacancy diffusion.

To simulate the effect of these ions, we have exposed candidate dry-wall materials to ion pulses from RHEPP-1, located at Sandia National Laboratories. Various forms of tungsten and tungsten alloy were exposed to up to 1000 pulses, with some samples heated to 600 °C. Thresholds for roughening and material removal, and evolution of surface morphology were measured and compared with code predictions for materials response. Tungsten is observed to undergo surface roughening and subsurface crack formation that evolves over hundreds of pulses, and which can occur both below and above the melt threshold. Heating and Re-alloying mitigate, but do not eliminate, these apparently thermomechanically-caused effects. Use of a 3-D geometry, and/or use of the tungsten in thin-film form may offer improved survivability compared to bulk tungsten.

Complete carbon tiles were heated in a oven to 500 °C in air for one hour at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and sent to Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK) for surface and depth profile analysis. Coring/full combustion technique performed on the treated and untreated tiles, both graphite and CFC, has shown that only the tritium held close to the surface (few tens μm) is efficiently released by baking in air while the bulk tritium is almost unaffected. Therefore, baking the tile under air, even at 500 °C, does not detritiate the bulk.

The empirical correlations are proposed that match the thermal conductivity data and allow interpolate or extrapolate of the behaviour in the wide temperature (∼150–3000 °C) and fluence (0–0.1 dpa) ranges of interest for ITER. These include the correlations for materials with `high'' (≳200 W/m K) initial thermal conductivity and for materials with moderate (∼100 W/m K) thermal conductivity.

Tests were carried out at room temperature and hold times were imposed at maximum tensile and maximum compressive strains. It was found that hold times could be damaging even at room temperature, well below temperatures typically associated with creep. Hold times resulted in shorter fatigue lives in the high cycle fatigue, long life regime (i.e., at low strain amplitudes) than those of materials tested under the same conditions without hold times. The influence of hold times on fatigue life in the low cycle fatigue, short life regime (i.e., at high strain amplitudes) was minimal. When hold time effects were observed, fatigue lives were reduced with hold times as short as two seconds. Appreciable stress relaxation was observed during the hold period at all applied strain levels in both tension and compression. In all cases, stresses relaxed quickly within the first few seconds of the hold period and much more gradually thereafter. The CuAl25 alloy showed a larger effect of hold time on reduction of high cycle fatigue life than did the CuCrZr alloy.

Tritium depth profiles near the surface of the sample tiles were estimated by comparing the experimental results to a calculation using a 3-D Monte-Carlo code. In every sample tile, there was little tritium in the range from the surface to 1 μm depth. In contrast, tritium density tended to increase beyond 1 μm depth. These results indicate that the tritium retained near the surface was easily removed by isotope exchange with a deuterium plasma or various other tritium removal operations. On the other hand, such operations did not remove tritium retained beyond 1 μm depth, and this could be a potential issue in a next D–T machine.

The problem has been studied in the literature as the “chains-on-chains partitioning” problem. Despite the rich literature on exact algorithms, heuristics are still used in parallel computing community with the “hope” of good decompositions and the “myth” of exact algorithms being hard to implement and not runtime efficient. We show that exact algorithms yield significant improvements in load balance over heuristics with negligible overhead. Detailed pseudocodes of the proposed algorithms are provided for reproducibility. We start with a literature review and propose improvements and efficient implementation tips for these algorithms. We also introduce novel algorithms that are asymptotically and runtime efficient. Our experiments on sparse matrix and direct volume rendering datasets verify that balance can be significantly improved by using exact algorithms. The proposed exact algorithms are 100 times faster than a single sparse-matrix vector multiplication for 64-way decompositions on the average. We conclude that exact algorithms with proposed efficient implementations can effectively replace heuristics.

Using column affinity chromatography with an immobilized YYWLHH stationary phase, it was possible to separate SEB quantitatively from Staphylococcus aureus fermentation broth, a complex mixture of proteins, carbohydrates and other biomolecules. The immobilized peptide was also used to purify native SEB from a mixture containing denatured and hydrolyzed SEB, and showed little cross-reactivity with other SEs. To our knowledge this is the first report of a highly specific short peptide ligand for SEB. Such a ligand is a potential candidate to replace antibodies for detection, removal and purification strategies for SEB.

A gas hydrate research well was drilled at the site in 1998. The objective of this study is the analysis of various gas production scenarios from five methane hydrate-bearing zones at the Mallik site. In Zone #1, numerical simulations using the EOSHYDR2 model indicated that gas production from hydrates at the Mallik site was possible by depressurizing a thin free gas zone at the base of the hydrate stability field. Horizontal wells appeared to have a slight advantage over vertical wells, while multiwell systems involving a combination of depressurization and thermal stimulation offered superior performance, especially when a hot noncondensible gas was injected. Zone #2, which involved a gas hydrate layer with an underlying aquifer, could yield significant amounts of gas originating entirely from gas hydrates, the volumes of which increased with the production rate. However, large amounts of water were also produced. Zones #3, #4 and #5 were lithologically isolated gas hydrate-bearing deposits with no underlying zones of mobile gas or water. In these zones, thermal stimulation by circulating hot water in the well was used to induce dissociation. Sensitivity studies indicated that the methane release from the hydrate accumulations increased with the gas hydrate saturation, the initial formation temperature, the temperature of the circulating water in the well, and the formation thermal conductivity. Methane production appears to be less sensitive to the specific heat of the rock and of the hydrate, and to the permeability of the formation.

These functionalized carbon nanotube samples are soluble in common organic solvents, making it possible to characterize the samples and to investigate and compare the photophysical properties of the tethered pyrene moieties in homogeneous solution. In general, the pyrene monomer excited state is significantly quenched by two competing processes of “intramolecular” excimer formation and energy transfer to the nanotube. The excimer formation is dynamic in nature, and the excimer emission is also quenched by the energy transfer, contributing to the overall low fluorescence quantum yields and rapid fluorescence decays. There are effects of the tether length on photoexcited-state properties of the pyrene species according to a comparison of the results obtained in solution vs in solid-state polymer matrix. The structurally more flexible environment for the pyrene moiety associated with a longer tether is more favorable to the excimer formation and less favorable to the excited-state energy transfer. The mechanistic implication of the results and potential applications of such materials are discussed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 108 IS - 31 M3 - Article SP - 11480 EP - 11489 SN - 15206106 AB - SBA-16 mesoporous silicas with cubic Im3m structure were synthesized using Pluronic F127 poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer (EO106PO70EO106) and its blends with Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer (EO20PO70EO20) as supramolecular templates. The resulting materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and argon and nitrogen adsorption. Selected samples were also modified with series of organosilanes of gradually increasing sizes and the accessibility of the pore structure after the modification was assessed using argon adsorption, which allowed us to determine the diameter of entrances to the ordered mesopores. It was shown that the pore cage diameter in SBA-16 can be enlarged in a wide range not only by increasing the synthesis temperature and time, as previously known, but also by increasing the content of P123 copolymer in the polymer mixture. These three ways allowed us to synthesize SBA-16 with nominal mesopore diameters from ~4.5 to 9 nm. Even more importantly, they were also suitable for the tailoring of the pore entrance diameter from ~1 to at least 6 nm, although in this case, the effect of the copolymer mixture composition on the entrance size was relatively small. In the case of SBA-16 samples synthesized at low temperatures or short hydrothermal treatment times, there was evidence that the pore entrance size was as low as 0.4-0.7 nm, as argon atoms were capable of entering the pore structure, but trimethylchlorosilane appeared to be largely excluded from it. By varying the synthesis temperature, time, and template composition, SBA-16 samples with essentially the same mesopore cage diameter and with largely different pore entrance sizes were synthesized. The present work is a step forward in the synthesis of a mesoporous molecular sieve with independently tailored mesopore diameter and entrance size.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 108 IS - 31 M3 - Article SP - 11506 EP - 11508 SN - 15206106 AB - An in situ X-ray-diffraction study of AlN nanocrystals under hydrostatic (or quasihydrostatic) conditions was performed to pressures of 36.9 GPa, using an energy dispersive synchrotron-radiation technique in a diamond-anvil cell (DAC). Hexagonal AlN nanocrystals have a particle size of 10 nm on average, and display an apparent volumetric expansion as compared to the bulk AlN polycrystals. Upon compression to 14.5 GPa, AlN nanocrystals start to transform to a rocksalt structure phase. This pressure is significantly lower than the transition pressure of 22.9 GPa observed from the bulk AlN by using the same technique. The nanosized wurtzite phase has a bulk modulus (B0) of 321 ± 19 GPa, larger than that of the bulk AlN crystals with a B0 of 208 GPa. There is a large volumetric decrease of 20.5% upon the wurtzite-to-rocksalt phase transformation. Combination of the size-induced volumetric expansion and resulting softening of the Poisson ratio and shear modulus may explain the reduction of transition pressure in this type of nanomaterials.

Auger electron spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption of N2 were used to determine the Mg oxidation state and the surface area of the deposits immediately after deposition at 22 K, and following annealing. Deposited on 20 layers of O2, Mg oxidizes and forms an MgO film having a high surface area (~700 m2/g). The surface area decreases upon annealing, approaching that of a well-ordered MgO(100) surface by 500 K. On thinner O2 multilayers, both oxidized and metallic Mg are observed at 22 K. Mild thermal annealing (200-400 K) results in transport of the excess metallic Mg to, and alloy formation with, the underlying Au substrate. MgO films annealed to 1000 K display a narrow distribution of N2 binding sites, similar to well-ordered MgO(100). The film sublimes above 1000 K when heated.

Such a transition has never been observed for water on any solid surface. This paper discusses the value of the temperature Tw at which the transition should occur for water on graphite. A simple model, previously used for nonpolar fluids, predicts the value of Tw as a function of the well depth D of the adsorption potential. While D is not well known for the case of water/graphite, the model implies that Tw is likely to fall in the range 350-500 K. Experimental search for this transition is warranted. Water-wetting transition temperatures on other surfaces are also discussed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 108 IS - 31 M3 - Article SP - 11820 EP - 11826 SN - 15206106 AB - The peroxyl radical location in horse heart myoglobin (Mb) oxidized with H2O2 was examined by 9-287 GHz electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy along with the radicals formed upon oxidation of tyrosine (Tyr), tryptophan (Trp), and histidine (His) individual amino acids. X-ray crystallography of the horse heart Mb has revealed that Tyr103, Tyr146, Trp14, and His64 residues are in the vicinity of the Mb heme group and thus could be implicated in Mb oxidation. The 9 GHz axial EPR signal of the Mb peroxyl radical (g|| = 2.040 ± 0.003 and g⊥ = 2.001 ± 0.001) is nearly identical with those of the radicals produced by irradiation of the individual amino acids in the presence of H2O2 (77 K). The 95-287 GHz measurements were sufficient to resolve the individual g tensor components of the Mb, Tyr, Trp, and His peroxyl radicals which cannot be distinguished at 9-35 GHz. The high-field EPR spectra of the Mb peroxyl radical were simulated using a Hamiltonian that describes the exchange and dipolar interaction between an oxoferryl iron and a protein radical. The exchange-coupled oxoferryl-protein radical pair could be best fitted with g values of gX = 2.0356, gY = 2.0083, and gZ = 2.0024 for the radical, a dipolar coupling corresponding to a distance of 8.3 Å between the radical and the oxoferryl iron, and an exchange coupling (J) of 0.476 GHz. The determined g tensor and the distance related to the Tyr residue at position 146. Tyr146 is assumed to be the most likely candidate for the peroxyl radical location in oxidized Mb.

Currently, the origin of the kink is being much debated, but a consensus has not emerged yet. Here, we present a study of the momentum evolution of the kink structure from the nodal region towards the anti-nodal region, for optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ sample. We show that the observed temperature dependence of the kink structure in both regions of the momentum space is consistent with a scenario in which phonons contribute strongly to the kink.

Our low temperature neutron powder diffraction measurements suggest the coexistence of two different Jahn-Teller (JT) distorted MnO6 octahedra when its ordered magnetic structure crosses over from type A (0.54≤x≤0.66) to type C/C* (0.74≤x≤0.90) ordering. At all doping levels at low temperature the doped holes reside predominantly in the plane of the bilayer. In the type A magnetic ordering regime, the eg electrons appear to be significantly delocalized in the plane resulting in undistorted octahedra, while in type C/C* regime, elongated JT distorted octahedra are apparent. This is consistent with the presence of inhomogeneous coexisting delocalized and localized electronic states. No evidence of macroscopic phase separation has been observed. Such nanoscale inhomogeneities may explain the magnetically frustrated behavior observed in the spin disordered ‘gap’ region (0.66≤x≤0.74).

A precursor to the CC is a d-charge decoupling within the octahedral sites at the inverse spinel phase. The CC-transition takes place almost exactly at the Verwey transition temperature (TV=122 K) at ambient pressure. While TV decreases with pressure, the CC-transition temperature increases with pressure, reaching 350 K at 10 GPa. The d electron localization mechanism proposed by Verwey and later by Mott for T is shown to be unrelated to the actual mechanism of the metal–insulator transition attributed to the Verwey transition. It is proposed that a first-order phase transition taking place at ∼TV at ambient pressure opens a small gap within the oxygen p-band, resulting in the observed insulating state at T>TV.

The numerical values of the constants are obtained for 20 elemental solids. Using the Lindemann criterion with our model for γ, we calculate melting curves for Al, Ar, Cu, Pd, and Pt and compare them to available experimental and theoretical melt data. We also determine the Z (atomic number) dependence of γ1.The high-compression limit of the model is shown to follow from a generalization of the Slater, Dugdale–MacDonald, and Vashchenko–Zubarevforms for the volume dependence of the Gru¨neisen parameter.

An addition of PMN into NBT transformed the structure of sintered samples from rhombohedral to pseudocubic phase where x is larger than 0.1. In calcined powders, however, the intermediate structure were observed between rhombohedral and cubic phases near x=0.1. The formation of solid solution between NBT and PMN modified the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of NBT to be suitable for high temperature dielectric and piezoelectric material. With increasing the content of PMN, the temperature-stability of #x03B5;r(T) increased and the high temperature dielectric loss decreased. In addition, the piezoelectric property of NBT–xPMN was enhanced, for the decrease of coercive field and conductivity promoted the domain reversal under the high electric field of the poling process.

This compound crystallizes in the cubic pyrochlore structure, i.e., space group Fd&3macr;m, lattice parameter: a=10.2610(5) Å and Z=8. All atoms occupy special crystalline sites, but Na and Ca are randomly distributed in the anti-cristobalite sub-lattice of the pyrochlore structure. The vibrational spectrum was determined by polarized Raman scattering and infrared reflectance. The number of observed Raman and infrared active phonons is larger than that predicted by the factor group analysis of the pyrochlore structure. The anomalous vibrational spectrum is discussed in terms of a disorder-induced symmetry lowering mechanism.

An iterative approach is used to find the object shape that minimizes the mean-squared difference between a set of actual and predicted scattering observations. A crucial task in this minimization is the computation of the "shape derivative," or functional gradient, of the mean-square error with respect to the object's shape or boundary. The shape derivative tells us how to update the object's shape to reduce the mean-square error at each iteration. If, for example, the object's boundary is parameterized with N variables, a brute-force approach to computing the shape derivative using finite-differences would require a minimum of N+1 forward solutions per iteration. We show how the shape derivative can be computed with just two forward solutions: one ordinary forward solution and a suitably constructed adjoint solution. This approach is independent of N and is not only far more efficient, but numerically less error prone, than finite-difference schemes for computing derivatives.

PM2.5 measurements had also been obtained with TEOM monitors located in the Pittsburgh, PA, area, and at sites in Ohio, including Steubenville, Columbus, and Athens. The PM data from all these sites were analyzed on high PM days; PM2.5 TEOM particulate mass at all sites was generally associated with transitions from locally high barometric pressure to lower pressure. Elevated concentrations occurred with transport of PM from outside the local region in advance of frontal passages as the local pressure decreased. During highpressure periods, concentrations at the study sites were generally low throughout the study region. Further details related to this transport were obtained from surface weather maps and estimated back-trajectories using the hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory model associated with these time periods. These analyses indicated that transport of pollutants to the Pittsburgh site was generally from the west to the southwest. These results suggest that the Ohio River Valley and possible regions beyond act as a significant source of PM and its precursors in the Pittsburgh area and at the other regional sites included in this study.

Though subject to an extended ‘burn-in’ period (∼200 h), anode-supported YSZ cells using the Cu-doped LSF achieve power densities ranging from 1.3 to 1.7 W/cm2 at 750°C and 0.7 V. These cells have also demonstrated 500 h of stable performance. The results are somewhat surprising given that XRD indicates an interaction between (La0.8Sr0.2)0.98Fe0.98-Cu0.02O3-δ and YSZ resulting in the formation of strontium zirconate and/or monoclinic zirconia. The amount and type of reaction product was found to be dependent on cathode and electrolyte powder precalcination temperatures.

Films on Al2O3 were under minimal stress at TC, resulting in a mixture of orientations. Those on Si preferred a (111) orientation due to templating from the bottom electrode.

SN - 00255610 AB - Acceleration–force setups for multi-rigid-body dynamics are known to be inconsistent for some configurations and sufficiently large friction coefficients (a Painleve paradox). This difficulty is circumvented by time-stepping methods using impulse-velocity approaches, which solve complementarity problems with possibly nonconvex solution sets. We show that very simple configurations involving two bodies may have a nonconvex solution set for any nonzero value of the friction coefficient. We construct two fixed-point iteration algorithms that solve convex subproblems and that are guaranteed, for sufficiently small friction coefficients, to retrieve, at a linear convergence rate, the unique velocity solution of the nonconvex linear complementarity problem whenever the frictionless configuration can be disassembled. In addition, we show that one step of one of the iterative algorithms provides an excellent approximation to the velocity solution of the original, possibly nonconvex, problem if for all contacts we have that either the friction coefficient is small or the slip velocity is small.

SN - 00255610 AB - Support vector machines can be posed as quadratic programming problems in a variety of ways. This paper investigates a formulation using the two-norm for the misclassification error that leads to a positive definite quadratic program with a single equality constraint under a duality construction. The quadratic term is a small rank update to a diagonal matrix with positive entries. The optimality conditions of the quadratic program are reformulated as a semismooth system of equations using the Fischer-Burmeister function and a damped Newton method is applied to solve the resulting problem. The algorithm is shown to converge from any starting point with a Q-quadratic rate of convergence. At each iteration, the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury update formula is used to solve the key linear system. Results for a large problem with 60 million observations are presented demonstrating the scalability of the proposed method on a personal computer. Significant computational savings are realized as the inactive variables are identified and exploited during the solution process. Further results on a small problem separated by a nonlinear surface are given showing the gains in performance that can be made from restarting the algorithm as the data evolves.

Microstructural features associated with certain types of distortions have been observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In RMnO3 and La(Sr)2NiO4, we characterize the local structure, charge ordered states and orbital ordering by means of low-temperature TEM. We present direct evidence that the stripe modulation in La(Sr)2NiO4 is indeed one-dimensional within each NiO2 plane. Several typical kinds of defect structures, including antiphase boundaries and the 90°-twin domains, appear commonly in the charge-ordered states.

DAXM is a powerful tool for inter- and intra-granular studies of lattice distortions and lattice rotations on mesoscopic length scales of tenths of microns to hundreds of microns that are largely above the range of traditional electron microscopy probes. Nondestructive, point-to-point, spatially resolved measurements of local lattice orientations in bulk materials provide direct information on geometrically necessary dislocation density distributions through measurements of the lattice curvature in plastically deformed materials. This paper reviews the DAXM measurement technique and discusses recent demonstrations of DAXM capabilities for measurements of microtexture, local elastic strain, and plastic deformation microstructure.

Here we show that inactivation of the mouse TRF1-interacting protein 2 (TIN2) gene results in early embryonic lethality. We further observed that the embryonic lethality of TIN2 mutant mice was not affected by inactivation of the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene, indicating that embryonic lethality is not the result of telomerase-dependent changes in telomere length or function. Our findings suggest that TIN2 has a role independent of telomere length regulation that is essential for embryonic development and cell viability.

Herein, we demonstrate that solution-phase ozonolysis of SWNTs fosters diameter selectivity in SWNTs. The main conclusion of our work is that in this sidewall addition reaction, smaller diameter tubes react more extensively than larger diameter tubes, which provides experimental validation for theoretical predictions on the role of pyramidalization and π-orbital misalignment in nanotube reactivity.

By monitoring radiative recombination lifetimes for a series of these NCs with a fixed core radius and progressively increasing shell thickness, we observe a continuous transition from Type-I (both electron and hole wave functions are distributed over the entire NC) to Type-II (electron and hole are spatially separated between the shell and the core) and back to Type-I (both electron and hole primarily reside in the shell) localization regimes. These observations are in good agreement with the calculated dependence of the electron-hole overlap integral on shell thickness.

A key feature of our fabrication technique is the use of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) groups to form an inert coating on regions of the chip where no nanoparticle assembly is desired. By assembling multiple layers of DNA-conjugated nanoparticles we illustrate the capability of PEG surface coatings to exquisitely direct the nanoparticles onto the lithographic patterns with almost zero nonspecific reaction per square micron. We further suggest that the use of PEG to eliminate nonspecific reaction may be extended to micro- and nanoscale fabrication systems that make use of a variety of different nanostructures.

It comments that such practice violates fundamental principles of data ownership and control and cautions the scientific community against it because the future of data-intensive biology depends on ensuring open data standards and freely exchangeable file formats. Biology being a broad field will increasingly depend on the creation of powerful new software tools. The conflicting interests of commerce with science have created a deadlock. The article suggests solutions for the mutual benefit of both the parties.

JO - Nature Immunology JF - Nature Immunology Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 5 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 791 EP - 799 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 15292908 AB - How T cells respond with extraordinary sensitivity to minute amounts of agonist peptide and major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules on the surface of antigen-presenting cells bearing large numbers of endogenous pMHC molecules is not understood. Here we present evidence that CD4 affects the responsiveness of T helper cells by controlling spatial localization of the tyrosine kinase Lck in the synapse. This finding, as well as further in silico and in vitro experiments, led us to develop a molecular model in which endogenous and agonist pMHC molecules act cooperatively to amplify T cell receptor signaling. At the same time, activation due to endogenous pMHC molecules alone is inhibited. A key feature is that the binding of agonist pMHC molecules to the T cell receptor results in CD4-mediated spatial localization of Lck, which in turn enables endogenous pMHC molecules to trigger many T cell receptors. We also discuss broader implications for T cell biology, including thymic selection, diversity of the repertoire of self pMHC molecules and serial triggering.

AGT irreversibly transfers the alkyl lesion to an active site cysteine in a stoichiometric, direct damage reversal pathway. AGT expression therefore elicits tumor resistance to alkylating chemotherapies, and AGT inhibitors are in clinical trials. We report here structures of human AGT in complex with double-stranded DNA containing the biological substrate O6-methylguanine or crosslinked to the mechanistic inhibitor N1,O6-ethanoxanthosine. The prototypical DNA major groove-binding helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif mediates unprecedented minor groove DNA binding. This binding architecture has advantages for DNA repair and nucleotide flipping, and provides a paradigm for HTH interactions in sequence-independent DNA-binding proteins like RecQ and BRCA2. Structural and biochemical results further support an unpredicted role for Tyr114 in nucleotide flipping through phosphate rotation and an efficient kinetic mechanism for locating alkylated bases.

A short temporal pulse is generated by using a monochromator to select a narrow radiation bandwidth from the frequency-chirped SASE. For the filtered radiation, the minimum pulse length is limited by the intrinsic SASE bandwidth, while the number of modes and the energy fluctuation can be controlled through the monochromator bandwidth. Two cases are considered: (1) placing the monochromator at the end of a single long undulator; (2) placing the monochromator after an initial undulator and amplifying the short-duration output in a second undulator. We analyze these cases and show that tens of femtosecond X-ray pulses may be generated for the linac coherent light source.

We show that in the case of a monochromatic wave, the radiated intensity satisfies a scaling relation that implies, for large distance z traveled along the undulator, a change in initial value of the radiation field corresponds to a translation in z (lethargy). Analytic continuation using Padé approximates yields accurate results for the radiation field early in saturation.

T1 - Overview of the 100 mA average-current RF photoinjector JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 528 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 71 EP - 77 SN - 01689002 AB - High-average-power FELs require high-current, low-emittance and low-energy-spread electron beams. These qualities have been achieved with RF photoinjectors operating at low-duty factors. To date, a high-average-current RF photoinjector operating continuously at 100% duty factor is yet to be demonstrated. The principal challenges of a high-duty-factor normal-conducting RF photoinjector are related to applying a high accelerating gradient continuously, thus generating large ohmic losses in the cavity walls, cooling the injector cavity walls and the high-power RF couplers, and finding a photocathode with reasonable Q.E. that can survive the poor vacuum of the RF photoinjector. We present the preliminary design of a normal-conducting 700 MHz photoinjector with solenoid magnetic fields for emittance compensation. The photoinjector is designed to produce 2.7 MeV electron beams at 3 nC bunch charge and 35 MHz repetition rate (100 mA average current). The photoinjector consists of a 21/2-cell, π-mode, RF cavity with on-axis electric coupling, and a non-resonant vacuum plenum. Heat removal in the resonant cells is achieved via dense arrays of internal cooling passages capable of handling high-velocity water flows. Megawatt RF power is coupled into the injector through two tapered ridge-loaded waveguides. PARMELA simulations show that the 21/2-cell injector can produce a 7 μm emittance directly. Transverse plasma oscillations necessitate additional acceleration and a second solenoid to realign the phase space envelopes of different axial slices at higher energy, resulting in a normalized rms emittance of 6.5 μm and 34 keV rms energy spread. We are developing a novel cesiated p-type GaN photocathode with 7% quantum efficiency at 350 nm and a cesium dispenser to replenish the cathode with cesium through a porous silicon carbide substrate. These performance parameters will be necessary for the design of the 100 kW FEL.

We have now directly demonstrated an on-line method for gain improvement at 540 nm on the Advanced Photon Source FEL. This was achieved by steering the e-beam with correctors before an undulator based on the fringe symmetry in coherent optical transition radiation interference (COTRI) images observed after that undulator. For these conditions we determined that both the SASE and COTR image intensities were improved by about a factor of three in one 2.4-m-long undulator section. The initial tuning had been based on RF beam position monitor readings and the maximization of SASE image intensity in the cameras.

In conjunction with these runs, we have obtained the first coherent optical transition radiation data due to the microbunching of the electron beam in the VUV. We have used both near- and far-field focusing by selecting the spherical mirror with the appropriate focal length for the distance to the CCD chip. The optics are such that much higher resolution than our visible system is attained with calibration factors of 11 μm/pixel and 10 μrad/pixel, respectively. Localized effects in the distributions in both focal conditions are being addressed.

It consists of two parallel beam lines, one for electron beam acceleration and the other for the used beam that is bent after passing through a wiggler. The used beam is decelerated by the structure and feeds the cavity fields. The main feature of the scheme is that RF cavities are coupled with waveguides between these two linacs. The waveguide cut through the two beam pipes provides an efficient mechanism for energy transfer. The superconducting RF cavities in the two accelerators can be shaped differently, with an operating mode at the same frequency. This provides HOM detuning and therefore reduces the beam break-up effects. Another advantage of the proposed two-beam scheme is easy tuning of the cavity coupling by changing the waveguide length.

Instr. and Meth. A 318 (1992) 301) in 1992 for an RF photocathode gun capable of operating simultaneously at the fundamental frequency and a higher frequency harmonic. Driving the gun at two frequencies with the proper field ratio and relative phase produces a beam with essentially no RF emittance and a linear longitudinal phase space distribution. Such a gun allows a completely new range of operating parameters for controlling space charge emittance growth. In addition, the linear longitudinal phase space distribution aids in bunch compression. This paper will compare results of simulations for the two-frequency gun with the standard RF gun and the unique properties of the two-frequency gun will be discussed.

For an energy-modulated beam, the horizontal profile obtained by this technique is also modulated with an enhanced amplitude. We study the microbunching experiment at the NSLS source development laboratory and show that the horizontal modulation observed by the rf zero-phasing technique can be explained by the space–charge-induced energy modulation in the accelerator.

A preliminary design of the first, and the most challenging, section of a 700-MHz CW RF normal-conducting photoinjector—a 2.5-cell, pi-mode cavity with solenoidal magnetic field for emittance compensation—is completed. Beam dynamics simulations demonstrate that this cavity with an electric field gradient of 7 MV/m will produce an electron beam at 2.7 MeV with the transverse rms emittance 7 mm mrad at 3 nC of charge per bunch. Electromagnetic field computations combined with a thermal and stress analysis show that the challenging problem of cavity cooling can be successfully resolved.We are in the process of building a 100-mA (3 nC of bunch charge at 33.3 MHz bunch repetition rate) photoinjector for demonstration purposes. Its performance parameters will enable a robust 100-kW-class FEL operation with electron beam energy below 100 MeV. The design is scalable to higher power levels by increasing the electron bunch repetition rate and provides a path to a MW-class amplifier FEL.

An 800 nm seed from a Ti-Sapphire laser has been used to produce saturated amplified output at the 266 nm third-harmonic. The results confirm the advantages of the HGHG FEL: stable central wavelength, narrow bandwidth and small pulse energy fluctuation. The harmonic output at 88 nm, which accompanies the 266 nm radiation, has been used in an ion pair imaging experiment in chemistry.

The number and evolution of the transverse modes is important for the effective tune-up and subsequent operation of FELs based on the photon beam characterization and in designing multi-module devices that rely on relatively stable saturation distances in each module. In the latter, this is particularly critical since each section will seed another module. Overall, in a single- or multi-module device, experimental users will desire stability in power and in photon beam quality. Using a numerical simulation code, the evolution of the transverse modes in the high-gain free-electron laser (FEL) is examined and is discussed. In addition, the transverse modes in the first few higher nonlinear harmonics are investigated.

In this paper, we present preliminary results of the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) of the HGHG radiation. In the normal HGHG process, a 1-ps electron beam is seeded by a chirped 9 ps long, 800-nm Ti:Sapphire laser. The electron beam sees only a narrow fraction of the seed laser bandwidth. However, in the CPA case, the seed laser pulse length is reduced to 1 ps, and the electron beam sees the full bandwidth. We introduce an energy chirp on the electron beam to match the chirp of the seed pulse, enabling the resonant condition for the whole beam. We present measurements of the spectrum bandwidth for various chirp conditions.

At very high peak-powers, the pump source for solid-state lasers is non-trivial: flash lamps produce thermal problems and are unsuitable for materials with short florescence-times, while diodes can be expensive and are only available at select wavelengths. FELs can provide pulse trains of light tuned to a laser material''s absorption peak, and florescence lifetime. An FEL pump can thus minimize thermal effects and potentially allow for new laser materials to be used. This paper examines the design of a high average-power, efficient high-gain FEL for use as pump source. Specifically, the cases of a 100 J class pump, and a 100 TW-class laser at a planned fourth-generation light-source are considered.

The method invokes direct sampling of the independent fission yield distributions of the fissioning system, the branching ratios for decay of individual fission products and the spectral distributions for photon emission for each decay mode. Though computationally intensive, the method can provide a detailed estimate of the spectrum that would be recorded by an arbitrary spectrometer, and can prove useful in assessing the quality of evaluated data libraries, for identifying gaps in these libraries, etc. The method is illustrated by a first comparison of calculated and experimental spectra from decay of short-lived fission products following the reactions 235U(nth,f) and 239Pu(nth,f). For general purpose transport calculations, where detailed consideration of the large number of individual γ-ray transitions in a spectrum may be unnecessary, it is shown that an accurate and simple parameterization of a γ-ray source function can be obtained. These parametrizations should provide high-quality average spectral distributions that should prove useful in calculations describing photons escaping from thick attenuating media.

Although the luminescence spectra of the two specimens were slightly different, selective excitation experiments tuned to specific regions of the absorption spectrum do not indicate any direct particle-size dependence of the luminescence. The spectrum is, however, highly sensitive to the excitation power, due to the more rapid recombination dynamics at higher frequencies. The luminescence lifetime was slightly smaller for the larger nanoparticles. These results are consistent with a sub-gap recombination mechanism for silicon nanocrystals embedded in a matrix of SiO2. Tuning the wavelength of emission from light-emitting devices based on these materials is therefore not likely to be achieved by controlling the particle size; such tunability may instead be realized by techniques such as doping or otherwise chemically modifying silicon nanocomposites.

In this study, the reaction/scattering cross sections for 12C(p,p)12C, 12C(d,p)13C and 12C(α,α)12C at an angle of 150° are measured over relevant energy regions using thin films of carbon (5.8 μg/cm2) on silicate glass. The results are plotted and tabulated as a function of ion energy, with typical uncertainties of 4% for the cross section data. In addition, the angular distribution of the cross sections for the reaction 12C(d,p)13C at an ion energy of 0.94 MeV has also been determined from 100° to 170°. An example for the application of this reaction to SiC is given.

Quality assessment requires one manually generated segmentation (for reference) plus computer-generated segmentations corresponding to different image segmentation algorithms or algorithm parameter settings. Since true pixel class assignments are seldom available, one must typically rely on a trained human analyst to produce a reference by using a mouse to draw boundaries of perceived regions on a digital image background. Different algorithms and parameter settings can be compared by ranking computed disparities between maps of computer-generated region boundaries and region boundaries from a common reference.Proximity-based association between two boundary pixels is discussed in the context of association distance. Motivated by the concept of phase-modulated signals, a penalty factor on the degree of association is then introduced as some non-negative power (phase modulation order) of the cosine of disparity in phase (boundary direction) between two boundary pixels. Families of matching measures between maps of region boundaries are defined as functions of associations between many pairs of boundary pixels. The measures are characterized as one-way (reflecting relationships in one direction between region boundaries from two segmentations) vs. two-way (reflecting relationships in both directions). Measures of inconsistency between perceived and computed matches of computer and manually generated region boundaries are developed and exercised so that effects of association distance, phase modulation, and choice of matching measure on image segmentation quality assessment can be quantified. It is quantitatively established that consistency can be significantly improved by using two-way measures in conjunction with high-order phase modulation and moderate association distances.

JO - Pharmacogenetics JF - Pharmacogenetics Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 14 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 527 EP - 537 SN - 0960314X AB - CYP2C9 is a clinically important enzyme, responsible for the metabolism of numerous clinically important therapeutic drugs. In the present study, we discovered 38 single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP2C9 by resequencing of genomic DNA from 92 individuals from three different racial groups. Haplotype analysis predicted that there are at least 21 alleles of CYP2C9 in this group of individuals. Six new alleles were identified that contained coding changes: L19I (CYP2C9∗7), R150H (CYP2C9∗8), H251R (CYP2C9∗9), E272G (CYP2C9∗10), R335W(CYP2C9∗11) and P489S (CYP2C9∗12). When expressed in a bacterial cDNA expression system, several alleles exhibited altered catalytic activity. CYP2C9∗11 appeared to be a putative poor metabolizer allele, exhibiting a three-fold increase in the Km and more than a two-fold decrease in the intrinsic clearance for tolbutamide. Examination of the crystal structure of human CYP2C9 reveals that R335 is located in the turn between the J and J′ helices and forms a hydrogen-bonding ion pair with D341 from the J′ helix. Abolishing this interaction in CYP2C9∗11 individuals could destabilize the secondary structure and alter the substrate affinity. This new putative poor metabolizer (PM) allele was found in Africans. A second potentially PM allele CYP2C9∗12 found in a racially unidentified sample also exhibited a modest decrease in the Vmax and the intrinsic clearance for tolbutamide in a recombinant system. Further clinical studies are needed to determine the effect of these new polymorphisms on the metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.

(111) disconnections form during slip across Cu-Ni interfaces and become significant barriers to continued deformation. A significant barrier exists for the flat coherent interface owing to the large coherency stresses in the Cu/Ni layers that must be overcome by applied stresses but, once these have been overcome, interface transection occurs readily. A disconnection adds an additional barrier because of a residual dislocation with a Burgers vector magnitude equal to the difference between b Cu and b Ni . This barrier depends on the position of the disconnection relative to the glide plane of the transecting glide dislocation and on the disconnection height. Disconnections cause work hardening that prevents shear band formation during deformation and encourages homogeneous shear processes. Disconnection energies are shown to be relatively small and to depend on the disconnection type and size.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/08//8/1/2004 VL - 84 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 2341 EP - 2366 SN - 14786435 AB - The phenomenon of particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) during recrystallization of commercial aluminium alloys has been widely investigated both from a ;scientific viewpoint and from the industrial perspective. The technological impact of this phenomenon is the finding that, depending upon the thermomechanical processing conditions, the occurrence of PSN may strengthen or weaken the deformation texture during recrystallization, which may or may not be desirable ;for a specific application of the final product. From a scientific standpoint, the mechanics of formation of localized deformation zones in the vicinity of the hard particles and the development of deformation substructures within the ;deformation zone that eventually turn into a recrystallized nucleus are still not ;completely understood. This paper describes the application of a coupled finite-element-Monte Carlo technique to study the phenomenon of PSN during recrystallization of aluminium and the subsequent growth of the nuclei. The deformation and recrystallization textures arising from initial microstructures with and without hard particles are compared to elucidate the particle effect on texture. The simulations have been applied to single crystals, bicrystals and a tricrystal of aluminium of specific crystallographic orientations with and without the hard particles at specific locations such as the grain interior, grain boundary and triple line. The simulation results are compared with existing experimental data on the deformation and recrystallization of particle-containing aluminium alloys.

The experimental data include high-resolution velocity and density measurements from a closed water channel facility. For the simulations, a monotone integrated large eddy simulations technique was used that employed a finite-volume, Eulerian equation solver with van Leer flux limiters. Calculations were initialized with both density and velocity fluctuations. A comparison of the late-time, self-similar growth constant with the experiments showed simulations initialized with velocity perturbations gave better agreement with experiments. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

We show that the BLS gas fraction λ=Qg/Ql, being Qg and Ql the flow rates of gas and liquid, respectively, is controlled by a dimensionless parameter which accounts for the ratio of the gas pressure inside the device to the liquid viscous pressure drop from the orifices where the liquid is injected to the exit, where the BLS is obtained. This parameter permits the correct scaling of the BLS gas volume fraction of all the experiments presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

At large values of the mean shear rate, the rapid distortion theory (RDT) limit is approached. Analytical solutions are found for the inviscid compressible RDT equations at long times. The RDT equations are also solved numerically for both inviscid and viscous cases. The RDT solutions, confirmed by the DNS results, show that the even order transverse derivative moments of the dilatational and solenoidal velocity fields are anisotropic, with the dilatational motions more anisotropic than their solenoidal counterparts. The results obtained for the incompressible case are similar to those obtained for the solenoidal motions in the compressible case. The DNS results also indicate an increase in the anisotropy of the even order transverse derivative moments with the order of the moment, in agreement with the RDT predictions. Although the anisotropy decreases with Reynolds number, it is likely that for higher even order moments it will persist at large values of the Reynolds number, in contrast with the postulate of local isotropy. The RDT solutions also predict that the normalized odd order transverse derivative moments of the solenoidal velocity for the compressible case and of the velocity for the incompressible case should approach a constant different than zero at large times. This prediction is supported by the DNS data. For higher odd order normalized moments, the RDT analysis suggests that the anisotropy may persist at large values of the Reynolds number, in agreement with the existent experimental data. The amplification of the dilatational kinetic energy in the direction of the mean shear and the anisotropy of the dilatational dissipation tensor found in the DNS results are also consistent with the RDT analysis. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The investigation focused on three primary areas: shear layer initiation at the base-corner separation point, development of the three-dimensional shear layer enclosing the recirculation region, and the turbulence structure near reattachment. The primary data presented are mean velocity and turbulence fluctuations measured using two-component laser-Doppler velocimetry. Initiation of the shear layer at the base-corner separation point results in an increase of all measured turbulent stresses, and a change in orientation of the turbulent structures. The shear layer growth rate is observed to vary with circumferential angle, with growth occurring at a much faster rate in the leeward plane than in the windward. Throughout the reattachment region, the turbulent stresses do not appear to diminish in the streamwise direction, contrary to previously published results for axisymmetric base flows. In addition, the reattachment phenomenon tends to slightly decrease overall turbulent structure organization. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This is the first evidence of electronic conduction in high pressure water. In addition, the water Hugoniot equation of state up to 790 GPa (7.9 Mbar) is determined from shock velocity measurements made by detecting the Doppler shift of reflected light. From a fit to the reflectance data we find that an electronic mobility gap ∼2.5 eV controls thermal activation of electronic carriers at pressures in the range of 100–150 GPa. This suggests that electronic conduction contributes significantly to the total conductivity along the Neptune isentrope above 150 GPa. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

B. Spielman et al., in Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Dense Z Pinches, Laguna Beach, CA, 1989, edited by N. R. Pereira, J. Davis, and N. Rostoker (American Institute of Physics, New York, 1989), p. 3] have produced large amounts of x-ray output, which cannot be accounted for in conventional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) calculations. In these experiments, the Saturn current had a rise time of ∼180 ns in contrast to a rise time of ∼60 ns in Saturn’s earlier mode of operation. In both aluminum and tungsten wire-array Z-pinch implosions, 2–4 times more x-ray output was generated than could be supplied according to one-dimensional (1D) magnetohydrodynamic calculations by the combined action of the j×B acceleration forces and ohmic heating (as described by a classical Braginskii resistivity). In this paper, we reexamine the problem of coupling transmission line circuits to plasma fluid equations and derive expressions for the Z-pinch load circuit resistance and inductance that relate these quantities in a 1D analysis to the surface resistivity of the fluid, and to the magnetic field energy that is stored in the vacuum diode, respectively. Enhanced energy coupling in this analysis, therefore, comes from enhancements to the surface resistivity, and we show that plasma resistivities approximately three orders of magnitude larger than classical are needed in order to achieve energy inputs that are comparable to the Saturn experiment x-ray outputs. Large enhancements of the plasma resistivity increase the rate of magnetic field and current diffusion, significantly modify the qualitative features of the MHD, and raise important questions as to how the plasma fluid dynamics converts enhanced energy inputs into enhanced x-ray outputs. One-dimensional MHD calculations in which resistivity values are adjusted phenomenologically are used to illustrate how various dynamical assumptions influence the way enhanced energy inputs are channeled by the fluid dynamics. Variations in the parameters of the phenomenological model are made in order to determine how sensitively they influence the dynamics and the degree to which the calculated x-ray outputs can be made to replicate the kinds of large variations in the experimental x-ray power data that were observed in three nominally identical aluminum wire shots on Saturn. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This phenomenon is critically tested by studying the system response to off-axis fueling or heating. The present paper investigates the potential of a recently proposed probabilistic transport model to simulate this phenomenon, and it is found that most of the observed phenomenology can be reproduced, at least qualitatively. In particular, the observed differences between tokamaks and stellarators under off-axis heating may find an explanation in this framework. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It is shown that in this system transport is anomalous and cannot be described in the context of the standard diffusion paradigm. In particular, the probability density function (pdf) of the radial displacements of tracers is strongly non-Gaussian with algebraic decaying tails, and the moments of the tracer displacements exhibit superdiffusive scaling. To model these results we present a transport model with fractional derivatives in space and time. The model incorporates in a unified way nonlocal effects in space (i.e., non-Fickian transport), memory effects (i.e., non-Markovian transport), and non-Gaussian scaling. There is quantitative agreement between the turbulence transport calculations and the fractional diffusion model. In particular, the model reproduces the shape and space-time scaling of the pdf, and the superdiffusive scaling of moments. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A range of guide fields is considered to study reconnection in plasmas characterized by different β values, β>me/mi. Both an implicit particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation method and a parallel explicit PIC code are used. Simulations with mass ratios up to the physical value are performed. The simulations show that the reconnection rate decreases with the guide field and depends weakly on the mass ratio. The off-diagonal components of the electron pressure tensor break the frozen-in condition, even in low β plasmas. In high β plasmas, evidence is presented that whistler waves play a key role in the fast reconnection physics, while in low β plasmas the kinetic Alfvén waves are important. The in-plane and the out-of-plane ion and electron motion are also considered, showing that they are influenced by the mass ratio and the plasma β. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 11 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 4123 EP - 4133 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Hydrodynamically unstable plasma flows driven by intense laser radiation are described in which an interface between two materials of dissimilar densities is subjected to a very strong shock and then decelerated over a longer time scale. Preimposed perturbations on this interface are unstable to a combination of the Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) and Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instabilities. Overall target dimensions for these experiments are of the order of 1 mm, and length scales of the unstable perturbations of interest can be as small as a few microns. At such small spatial scales, the effects of dissipative processes such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, and mass diffusion begin to affect instability growth rates. In this article, estimates are presented of the spatial scale at which viscosity and mass diffusion begin to affect the growth of a perturbation due to the RM and RT instabilities. Time dependent values for the plasma kinematic viscosity and interfacial binary mass diffusivity are estimated for the conditions occurring in laser-driven instability experiments recently conducted on the Omega laser. These are used together with several models in the literature for estimating the reduction in the growth rate dispersion curves of the Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instabilities due to the presence of these small-scale dissipative effects. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Plant Cell JF - Plant Cell Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 16 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2151 EP - 2163 SN - 10404651 AB - DNA insertional transformants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were screened chemochromically for attenuated H2 production. One mutant, displaying low H2 gas photoproduction, has a nonfunctional copy of a gene that shows high homology to the family of isoamylase genes found in several photosynthetic organisms. DNA gel blotting and gene complementation were used to link this isoamylase gene to previously characterized nontagged sta7 mutants. This mutant is therefore denoted sta7-10. In C. reinhardtii, the STA7 isoamylase gene is important for the accumulation of crystalline starch, and the sta7-10 mutant reported here contains <3% of the glucose found in insoluble starch when compared with wild-type control cells. Hydrogen photoproduction rates, induced after several hours of dark, anaerobic treatment, are attenuated in sta7 mutants. RNA gel blot analysis indicates that the mRNA transcripts for both the HydA1 and HydA2 [Fe]-hydrogenase genes are expressed in the sta7-10 mutant at greater than wild-type levels 0.5 h after anaerobic induction. However, after 1.5 h, transcript levels of both HydA1 and HydA2 begin to decline rapidly and reach nearly undetectable levels after 7 h. In wild-type cells, the hydrogenase transcripts accumulate more slowly, reach a plateau after 4 h of anaerobic treatment, and maintain the same level of expression for >7 h under anaerobic incubation. Complementation of mutant cells with genomic DNA corresponding to the STA7 gene restores both the starch accumulation and H2 production phenotypes. The results indicate that STA7 and starch metabolism play an important role in C. reinhardtii H2 photoproduction. Moreover, the results indicate that mere anaerobiosis is not sufficient to maintain hydrogenase gene expression without the underlying physiology, an important aspect of which is starch metabolism.

Using this technique, information about both composition and structure can be obtained. We discuss the physical basis of this technique and present our findings for the fivefold surface of icosahedral (i-) Al–Pd–Mn. Our results clearly show that the exposed surface has a higher Al content than the bulk and can have fivefold periodicity. Information about frequently occurring interatomic distances on the surface can also be obtained by this technique. We discuss the results and compare them to recent scanning tunneling microscopy studies and to bulk structure models.

We have systematically investigated the way that these traits vary with preparation conditions (e.g. sputtering and then annealing to various temperatures, vs. fracture), with surface symmetry (e.g. 2f vs. 3f vs. 5f surfaces), and with bulk composition (e.g. i-Al–Pd–Mn vs. i-Al–Cu–Fe). We have also compared our results for the quasicrystals with results for crystalline approximants and other related crystalline phases. Our main conclusions are that, under specific conditions of sputter-annealing, the bulk atomic and electronic structures of the clean quasicrystal propagate to the surface. Also, the oxidation chemistry is dominated by that of the primary constituent, aluminum.

Here, peptide sequence features required for solubilization and folding of CAR D1 and similar Ig variable-type domains from two other human membrane proteins were investigated. Peptide extensions with net negative charge >-6 fully solubilized CAR D1, and approximately half of the peptide-solubilized protein was correctly folded. The Ig variable-type domains from human A33 antigen and myelin P-zero proteins were only partially solubilized by peptide extensions with net charge of -12, however, and only the solubilized P-zero domain appeared to fold correctly whereas the A33 domain formed soluble microaggregates of misfolded protein. Our results suggest a model where the large net charge of peptide extensions increases electrostatic repulsion between nascent polypeptides. The resulting decrease in aggregation rate can enable some polypeptides to fold spontaneously into their native protein conformations. Analysis of the solubility and folding status of sets of structurally homologous proteins, such as the Ig variable-type domains described here, during overexpression could provide insights into how amino acid and gene sequences influence the efficiency of spontaneous protein folding.

In this paper, quadratic polynomial models are used to estimate gas turbine engine performance models in an extensive simulation. The goal of the simulation is maximize the tolerances on a number of engine design features, while still producing an engine that will have an overall 3-sigma (99.74%) pass rate on a number of geometric and performance constraints. The tolerances are maximized by using an optimization routine to determine the greatest allowable standard deviations (all with equal weights) and thus help to reduce engine-manufacturing cost. Details are provided about how the models and simulation were constructed, as well as how information about the system was extracted from simulation results. A comparison of current production guidelines is made with those suggested by the study to show how system improvements can be achieved. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Recent instability in the electricity industry illustrates the need for thoughtful resource planning to balance the cost, reliability, and risk of electricity supply. This article evaluates the relative risk profiles of renewable and natural gas generating plants. It does so by analyzing how six different risks are allocated and, if possible, mitigated in long-term power purchase contracts, taking as a contract sample 27 agreements signed by the California Department of Water Resources in 2001. This assessment illustrates some of the significant differences between the risk profiles of natural gas-fired and renewable generation. Renewable energy contracts are shown to provide the most value relative to natural gas-fired contracts by mitigating fuel price and environmental compliance risks. Gas-fired electricity contracts typically provide better protection against short-term demand risk. When it comes to fuel supply, performance, and regulatory risks, the relative value of renewable and gas-fired contracts is ambiguous. We conclude that a better understanding of risks and risk allocation practices will help utilities, regulators, and others make more objective decisions in the future when selecting between renewable and gas-fired electricity supply.

A great concern, because of recent terrorist activities, is for the development of methods that might allow detection and identification of explosives at a stand off distance. Nearly every analytical chemical method has been or is being applied to this problem. This review outlines the properties of explosives that might be utilized in detection schemes, discusses sampling issues, presents recent method developments with particular attention to detection limits, speed of analysis, and portability, and looks towards future developments.

This approach is demonstrated using simulations of a solid density, 10 eV expanding Al plasma. Determining the material EOS data is validated to pressures near 80 Mbar, much higher than current isentropic compression experiments allow. Limitations at very high temperature (Te>=100 eV), due to the formation of a radiative conduction layer near the rarefaction interface, are also discussed.

It was found that the UFG Ti is more resistant to corrosion than its CG counterpart. The superior corrosion resistance of UFG Ti is believed to result from rapid passivation of UFG Ti and the impurity segregation to grain boundaries in CG Ti.

Next-generation PV technologies are defined as those not in production or only in limited production because of the need for additional long-term research, development, innovation, and commercialization. Since 1999, DOE and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have funded 33 universities and companies to explore these concepts, with a total annual budget of about $2 million per year. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

The application of an electrical potential difference between two electrodes in contact with membranes and an aqueous ionic solution generates an electric field. The electric field creates the basis for the migration of ions across ion-exchange membranes. The ion-exchange membranes used in ED are thin, uniform sheets containing a fixed charge. The fixed charges attached to the polymer chains of the membranes reject ions of the same charge. As a result, the membrane maintains a relatively high concentration of counter ions. These counter ions carry most of the electric current through the membrane.

JO - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics JF - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 64 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1839 EP - 1863 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 00361399 AB - The stress-driven grain boundary diffusion problem is a continuum model of mass transport phenomena in microelectronic circuits due to high current densities (electromigration) and gradients in normal stress along grain boundaries. The model involves coupling many different equations and phenomena, and difficulties such as nonlocality, complex geometry, and singularities in the stress tensor have left open such mathematical questions as existence of solutions and compatibility of boundary conditions. In this paper and its companion, we address these issues and establish a firm mathematical foundation for this problem. We use techniques from semigroup theory to prove that the problem is well posed and that the stress field relaxes to a steady state distribution which, in the nondegenerate case, balances the electromigration force along grain boundaries. Our analysis shows that while the role of electromigration is important, it is the interplay among grain growth, stress generation, and mass transport that is responsible for the diffusive nature of the problem. Electromigration acts as a passive driving force that determines the steady state stress distribution, but it is not responsible for the dynamics that drive the system to steady state. We also show that stress singularities may develop near grain boundary junctions; however, stress components directly involved in the diffusion process remain finite for all time. Thus, we have identified a mechanism by which large "hidden" stresses may develop that are not directly involved in the diffusion process but may play a role in void nucleation and stress-induced damage.

The ideal generated from this minimal basis agrees with the classic work of Smith and Rivlin [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 88 (1958), pp. 175-193]. However, the structure of the invariant algebra described here calls for fewer terms, beginning with the fourth degree in strain, for most groups.

Two one-pulse spectra are recorded, the first with pulse length tp1, the second with an L-times longer pulse, e.g. with L=2. The second spectrum scaled by 1/L is subtracted from the first. Since the weak pulses experienced by spins outside the coil are in the linear regime, the background from outside the coil is effectively subtracted out. The background suppression efficiency is approximately 1.5b2, where b is the ratio of the B1 field inside the coil relative to that outside the coil. Experimentally, background suppression by at least a factor of 10 was achieved. Examples of background suppression in 1H wideline as well as 1H fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) one-pulse spectra of clay and polymer samples are shown.

The crystal structures of NaSn4(PO4)3 (I) and KSn4(PO4)3 (II) have been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Both phases crystallize in the trigonal space group R3c (#161) with Z=6 and cell parameters a=9.5508(13) Å, c=24.083(3) Å for I, and a=9.7124(11) Å, c=24.363(3) Å for II. The structure consists of a negatively charged [Sn4(PO4)3]- framework with channels running parallel to the a- and b-axes where the charge compensating A+ cations are located. An interesting feature is that half of the channels are empty due to the specific geometry of the SnO3 units—the lone electron pair of the tin atoms “protrudes” in these channels thus preventing the insertion of A+. The new phases have also been characterized by infrared and thermogravimetric analyses.

SN - 00386308 AB - A new scenario of substorm growth phase, onset and dipolarization during expansion phase and the corresponding physical processes are presented. During the growth phase, as a result of enhanced plasma convection, the plasma pressure and its gradient continue to be enhanced over the quiet-time values in the plasma sheet. Toward the late growth phase, a strong cross-tail current sheet is formed in the near-Earth plasma sheet region, where a local magnetic well is formed. The equatorial plasma beta (βeq) can reach a local maximum with value larger than 50 and the cross-tail current density can be enhanced to over 10nA/m2 as obtained from 3D quasi-static magnetospheric equilibrium solutions for the growth phase. The most unstable kinetic ballooning instabilities (KBI) are expected to be located in the tailward side of the strong cross-tail current sheet region. The field lines in the most unstable KBI region map to the transition region between the region-l and region-2 currents in the ionosphere, which is consistent with the observed initial brightening location of the breakup arc in the intense proton precipitation region. The KBI explains the AMPTE/CCE observations that a low frequency instability with a wave period of 50–75 seconds is excited about 2–3 min prior to substorm onset and grows exponentially to a large amplitude at the onset of current disruption (or current reduction). At the onset of current disruption higher frequency instabilities are excited so that the plasma and electromagnetic field fluctuations form a strong turbulent state. Plasma transport takes place due to the strong turbulence to relax the ambient plasma pressure profile so that the plasma pressure and current density are reduced and the ambient magnetic field intensity increases by more than a factor of 2–3 in the high-βeq region and the field line geometry recovers from tail-like to dipole-like – dipolarization.

More specifically, it is argued that viewing a local community as an interacting set of systems that support or buffer the occurrence of specific substance misuse outcomes, opens up to research two important prospects. The first of these involves creating adequate systems models that can capture the primary community structures and relationships that support public health problems such as alcohol and drug misuse and related outcomes. The second entails rationally testing control strategies that have the potential to moderate or reduce these problems. Understanding and controlling complex dynamic systems models nowadays pervades all scientific disciplines, and it is to research in areas such as biology, ecology, engineering, computer sciences, and mathematics that researchers in the field of addictions must turn to in order to better study the complexity that confronts them as they try to understand and prevent problems resulting from alcohol and drug use and misuse. Here we set out what such a systems-based understanding of alcohol- and drug use-related problems will require and discuss its implications for public policy and prevention programming.

We show that, if the (2 × 1) reconstruction of the Si(0 0 1) substrate were assumed to be preserved at the growth front of the Ge overlayer, an underestimated hc would be obtained. In contrast, proper inclusion of the dimer buckling and the appearance of the (2×N) superstructure as the first strain-relieving mechanisms leads to delayed islanding, with hc equal to the experimental value of 3–4 monolayers.

With SPA-LEED and STM it was found that these phases are built from two generating phases and extend over macroscopic distances (∼0.5 mm) which requires extraordinary coverage uniformity. Very surprisingly, these phases form after stepwise coverage deposition at T∼120 K which indicates an unusual pathway of low temperature self-organization.

SN - 09354964 AB - A single-point model eddy viscosity model of rotation effects on the turbulent flow in an axially rotating pipe is developed based on two-point closure theories. Rotation is known to impede energy transfer in turbulence; this fact is reflected in the present model through a reduced eddy viscosity, leading to laminarization of the mean velocity profile and return to a laminar friction law in the rapid rotation limit. This model is compared with other proposals including linear redistribution effects through the rapid pressure-strain correlation, Richardson number modification of the eddy viscosity in a model of non-rotating turbulence, and the reduction of turbulence through the suppression of near-wall production mechanisms.

Each of the structures reinforces the concept that several buried counter ions have central roles in substrate recruitment, substrate binding and energy transduction during ion pumping. The spatial organization of the counter ions suggests that, initially, one or more counter ions lowers the Born energy cost of binding a substrate ion in the low-dielectric interior of the membrane. Subsequently, a ligand-induced conformational change seems to close a charged access gate to prevent backflow from a subsequent, low-affinity state of the pump. A final role of the buried counter ions might be to couple the input of external energy to a small charge separation between the substrate ion and the buried counter ions, thereby decreasing the binding affinity for the substrate ion in preparation for its release on the high-energy side of the membrane.

Depending on the amount of vapor loaded on the cantilever, TNT desorption took a few minutes to tens of minutes (for nanogram quantities). On the other hand, no significant loss of PETN or RDX was observed after many hours. We also measured desorption of common “nonexplosive” compounds (water, acetone, and ethyl alcohol) and observed that desorption was too fast to be measured. There is a good correlation between the desorption time and the melting point (or the vapor pressure) of a particular substance. In principle, this method can be used to measure desorption rates of various substances from cantilever surfaces.

Gold-coated atomic force microscopy microcantilevers were used as working electrodes to measure the current–potential response (by cyclic voltammetry) and simultaneous bending characteristics in solutions of NaNO3 and K3Fe(CN)6/NaNO3. The observed changes of differential surface stress at a microcantilever electrode were attributed to electrochemical-potential-induced changes in surface charge density, ion adsorption/desorption, and electron transfer across the electrode surface. The potential dependent change in stress shows promise for the study of microscopic properties at the solid–electrolyte interface.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Predicting the amount of water that may seep into waste emplacement tunnels (drifts) is important for assessing the performance of the proposed geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The repository will be located in thick, partially saturated fractured tuff that--for the first several hundred years after emplacement--will be heated to above-boiling temperatures as a result of heat generation from the decay of radioactive waste. Heating of rock water to above-boiling conditions induces water saturation changes and perturbs water fluxes that affect the potential for water seepage into drifts. We describe numerical analyses of the coupled thermal-hydrological (TH) processes in the vicinity of waste emplacement drifts, evaluate the potential of seepage during the heating phase of the repository, and discuss the implications for the performance of the site. In addition to the capillary barrier at the rock-drift interface--independent of the thermal conditions--a second barrier exists to downward percolation at above-boiling conditions. This barrier is caused by vaporization of water in the fractured rock overlying the repository. A TOUGH2 dual-permeability simulation model was developed to analyze the combined effect of these two barriers; it accounts for all relevant TH processes in response to heating, while incorporating the capillary barrier condition at the drift wall. Model results are presented for a variety of simulation cases that cover the expected variability and uncertainty of relevant rock properties and boundary conditions.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - We investigate the physical processes that occur during the sequestration of CO2 in liquid-saturated, brine-bearing geologic formations using the numerical simulator TOUGH2. Carbon dioxide is injected in a supercritical state that has a much lower density and viscosity than the liquid brine it displaces. In situ, the supercritical CO2 forms a gas-like phase, and also partially dissolves in the aqueous phase, creating a multiphase, multicomponent environment that shares many important features with the vadose zone. The flow and transport simulations employ an equation of state package that treats a two-phase (liquid, gas), three-component (water, salt, CO2) system. Chemical reactions between CO2 and rock minerals that could potentially contribute to mineral trapping of CO2 are not included. The geological setting considered is a fluvial/deltaic formation that is strongly heterogeneous, making preferential flow a significant effect, especially when coupled with the strong buoyancy forces acting on the gas-like CO2 plume. Key model development issues include vertical and lateral grid resolution, grid orientation effects, and the choice of characteristic curves.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Calibration of a numerical process model against laboratory or field data is often referred to as "inverse modeling." As the numerical simulation models become more complex, the number of parameters to be estimated generally increases, requiring new testing, modeling, and inversion strategies. The purpose of this survey is to review inverse modeling approaches for unsaturated and multiphase flow models. The discussion focuses on applications rather than theoretical considerations, which have been previously reviewed in the context of saturated flow and transport modeling. We also examine model parameterization issues, specifically the representation of heterogeneity through a limited number of variables that can be subjected to parameter estimation and uncertainty propagation analyses. Different parameterization strategies are illustrated using the multiphase flow simulation-optimization code iTOUGH2. A comprehensive inverse modeling package (such as iTOUGH2, which includes automatic model calibration followed by an extensive residual, error, and uncertainty propagation analysis) is an essential tool to improve test design and data analysis of complex multiphase flow systems.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Passive site stabilization is a new technology proposed for nondisruptive mitigation of liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction. This technology is based on the concept of slow injection of stabilizing materials at the edge of a site and delivery of the stabilizer to the target location by using the natural or augmented groundwater flow. In this research, a box model was used to investigate the ability to uniformly deliver colloidal silica stabilizer to loose sands using low-head injection and extraction wells. Five injection wells and two extraction wells were used to deliver stabilizer in a generally uniform pattern to the loose sand formation. Numerical modeling was used to identify the key parameters affecting stabilizer migration and to determine their effective values for the box experiment. In our modeling approach, the stabilizer is treated as a miscible fluid, the viscosity of which is a function of time and the concentration of stabilizer in the pore water. Inverse modeling techniques are employed to reproduce data from the laboratory experiment for the determination of soil and stabilizer properties. While the details of the stabilizer distribution were difficult to reproduce with the simplified conceptual model we used, the overall system behavior was well captured, providing confidence that numerical simulation is a useful tool for designing centrifuge model tests, pilot tests, and eventually field stabilizer-injection projects.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Cavities excavated in unsaturated geological formations are important to activities such as nuclear waste disposal and mining. Such cavities provide a unique setting for simultaneous occurrence of seepage and evaporation. Previously, inverse numerical modeling of field liquid-release tests and associated seepage into cavities were used to provide seepage-related large-scale formation properties, ignoring the impact of evaporation. The applicability of such models was limited to the narrow range of ventilation conditions under which the models were calibrated. The objective of this study was to alleviate this limitation by incorporating evaporation into the seepage models. We modeled evaporation as an isothermal vapor diffusion process. The semiphysical model accounts for the relative humidity (RH), temperature, and ventilation conditions of the cavities. The evaporation boundary layer thickness (BLT) over which diffusion occurs was estimated by calibration against free-water evaporation data collected inside the experimental cavities. The estimated values of BLT were 5 to 7 mm for the open underground drifts and 20 mm for niches closed off by bulkheads. Compared with previous models that neglected the effect of evaporation, this new approach showed significant improvement in capturing seepage fluctuations into open cavities of low RH. At high relative-humidity values (>85%), the effect of evaporation on seepage was very small.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - A complex pattern of coupling between fluid flow and mass transport develops when heterogeneous reactions occur. For instance, dissolution and precipitation reactions can change a porous medium's physical properties, such as pore geometry and thus permeability. These changes influence fluid flow, which in turn impacts the composition of dissolved constituents and the solid phases, and the rate and direction of advective transport. Two-dimensional modeling studies using TOUGHREACT were conducted to investigate the coupling between flow and transport developed as a consequence of differences in density, dissolution-precipitation, and medium heterogeneity. The model includes equilibrium reactions for aqueous species, kinetic reactions between the solid phases and aqueous constituents, and full coupling of porosity and permeability changes resulting from precipitation and dissolution reactions in porous media. In addition, a new permeability relationship is implemented in TOUGHREACT to examine the effects of geochemical reactions and density difference on plume migration in porous media. Generally, the evolutions in the concentrations of the aqueous phase are intimately related to the reaction-front dynamics. Plugging of the medium contributed to significant transients in patterns of flow and mass transport.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Geologic CO2 sequestration is being considered as a way to offset fossil fuel-related CO2 emissions to reduce the rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The accumulation of vast quantities of injected CO2 in geologic sequestration sites may entail health and environmental risks from potential leakage and seepage of CO2 into the near-surface environment. We are developing and applying a coupled subsurface and atmospheric surface-layer modeling capability built within the framework of the integral finite difference reservoir simulator TOUGH2. The overall purpose of the modeling studies is to predict CO2 concentration distributions under a variety of seepage scenarios and geologic, hydrologic, and atmospheric conditions. These concentration distributions will provide the basis for determining aboveground and near-surface instrumentation needs for CO2 sequestration monitoring and verification, as well as for assessing health, safety, and environmental risks. A key feature of CO2 is its large density ( = 1.8 kg m-3) relative to air ( = 1.2 kg m-3), a property that may allow small leaks to cause concentrations in air above the occupational exposure limit of 4% in low-lying and enclosed areas such as valleys and basements where dilution rates are low. The approach we take to coupled modeling involves development of T2CA, a TOUGH2 module for modeling the multicomponent transport of water, brine, CO2, gas tracer, and air in the subsurface. For the atmospheric surface-layer advection and dispersion, we use a logarithmic vertical velocity profile to specify constant time-averaged ambient winds, and atmospheric dispersion approaches to model mixing due to eddies and turbulence. Initial simulations with the coupled model suggest that atmospheric dispersion quickly dilutes diffuse CO2 seepage fluxes to negligible concentrations, and that rainfall infiltration can cause CO2 to return to the subsurface as a dissolved component in ...

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - A calibrated groundwater flow model for a contaminated site can provide substantial information for assessing and improving hydraulic measures implemented for remediation. We developed a three-dimensional transient groundwater flow model for a contaminated mountainous site at which interim corrective measures were initiated to limit further spreading of contaminants. This flow model accounts for complex geologic units that vary considerably in thickness, slope, and hydrogeologic properties, as well as large seasonal fluctuations of the groundwater table and flow rates. Other significant factors are local recharge from leaking underground storm drains and recharge from steep uphill areas. The zonation method was employed to account for the clustering of high and low hydraulic conductivities measured in a geologic unit. A composite model was used to represent the bulk effect of thin layers of relatively high hydraulic conductivity found within bedrock of otherwise low conductivity. The inverse simulator iTOUGH2 was used to calibrate the model for the distribution of rock properties. The model was initially calibrated using data collected between 1994 and 1996. To check the validity of the model, it was subsequently applied to predicting groundwater level fluctuation and groundwater flux between 1996 and 1998. Comparison of simulated and measured data demonstrated that the model is capable of predicting the complex flow reasonably well. Advective transport was approximated using pathways of particles originating from source areas of the plumes. The advective transport approximation was in good agreement with the trend of contaminant plumes observed during the same years. The validated model was then refined to focus on a subsection of the large system. The refined model showed that most of the hydraulic measures implemented for remediation are effective.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - Numerical simulations of transport and isotope fractionation provide a method to quantitatively interpret vadose zone pore water stable isotope depth profiles based on soil properties, climatic conditions, and infiltration. We incorporate the temperature-dependent equilibration of stable isotopic species between water and water vapor, and their differing diffusive transport properties into the thermodynamic database of the reactive transport code TOUGHREACT. These simulations are used to illustrate the evolution of stable isotope profiles in semiarid regions where recharge during wet seasons disturbs the drying profile traditionally associated with vadose zone pore waters. Alternating wet and dry seasons lead to annual fluctuations in moisture content, capillary pressure, and stable isotope compositions in the vadose zone. Periodic infiltration models capture the effects of seasonal increases in precipitation and predict stable isotope profiles that are distinct from those observed under drying (zero infiltration) conditions. After infiltration, evaporation causes a shift to higher 18O and D values, which are preserved in the deeper pore waters. The magnitude of the isotopic composition shift preserved in deep vadose zone pore waters varies inversely with the rate of infiltration.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - N.PAG AB - In the unlikely event that CO2 leakage from deep geologic CO2 sequestration sites reaches the vadose zone, remediation measures for removing the CO2 gas plume may have to be undertaken. Carbon dioxide leakage plumes are similar in many ways to volatile organic compound (VOC) vapor plumes, and the same remediation approaches are applicable. We present here numerical simulation results of passive and active remediation strategies for CO2 leakage plumes in the vadose zone. The starting time for the remediation scenarios is assumed to be after a steady-state CO2 leakage plume is established in the vadose zone, and the source of this plume has been cut off. We consider first passive remediation, both with and without barometric pumping. Next, we consider active methods involving extraction wells in both vertical and horizontal configurations. To compare the effectiveness of the various remediation strategies, we define a half-life of the CO2 plume as a convenient measure of the CO2 removal rate. For CO2 removal by passive remediation approaches such as barometric pumping, thicker vadose zones generally require longer remediation times. However, for the case of a thin vadose zone where a significant fraction of the CO2 plume mass resides within the high liquid saturation region near the water table, the half-life of the CO2 plume without barometric pumping is longer than for somewhat thicker vadose zones. As for active strategies, results show that a combination of horizontal and vertical wells is the most effective among the strategies investigated, as the performance of commonly used multiple vertical wells was not investigated.

The modeling approach is based on a dual-continuum formulation. Using different conceptual models of unsaturated flow, various scenarios of current and future climate conditions and their effects on the UZ are evaluated to aid in the assessment of the repository's system performance. These models are calibrated against field-measured data. Model-predicted flow and transport processes under current and future climates are discussed.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 40 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Determining a large number of soil hydraulic parameters for heterogeneous soils remains a challenge because inverting for too many parameters can lead to parameter values that are nonunique. Furthermore, such inversions may need very long simulation times, for example, months or more when inverting field-scale problems. In this research, a combined parameter scaling and inverse technique (CPSIT) is proposed to upscale hydraulic parameters from the local scale to the field scale. The CPSIT approach includes two steps: (1) parameter scaling and (2) inverse modeling. In step 1 the number of parameters to be estimated at field scale (FS) is reduced by applying parameter scaling whereby a heterogeneous soil is treated as a composition of multiple equivalent homogeneous media (EHMs). In step 2 the FS parameters for the reference EHM are determined using the inverse technique and observations from well-designed field experiments. The advantages of the CPSIT approach are that the number of parameters to be inverted is reduced by a factor of the number (M) of EHMs, and the simulation time is reduced by a factor of about M2. The CPSIT approach was tested by upscaling the hydraulic parameters using a field injection experiment at the Hanford Site. Results show that when the CPSIT upscaled parameters were used to simulated flow, the mean squared residual was reduced by 83.2% relative to that when the local-scale parameters were used.

In this paper we investigate the influence of ternary alloying additions on this value. Whereas Nb and Ta additions did not change the CTE anisotropy significantly, additions of V, Cr, Zr and Hf reduced it to values close to 2. According to Fu et al.''s ab initio model for the CTE anisotropy in 5–3 compounds with chain structures [Acta Mater. 51 (2003) 5083] the site occupations of the ternary alloying additions are crucial for determining the CTE anisotropy. These site occupations were determined for Zr and Nb additions and are consistent with the observed CTE anisotropy values.

In both annealed and cold-worked conditions, strength decreases with increasing temperature, while ductility peaks below room temperature and is least at about 400 °C. At room temperature or below, the strain-hardening behavior exhibits two stages consisting of a rapid decrease for small strains and an increase-decrease cycle before plastic instability occurs. At higher temperatures the strain-hardening rate decreases monotonically with strain. The characteristics of these strain-hardening behaviors are explained by changes in deformation microstructure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the deformed 316LN steel shows that twins, stacking faults, and/or martensite laths, along with dislocations, are formed at subzero temperatures, and dislocation-dominant microstructures at elevated temperatures. It is also shown that the average strain-hardening rate during necking to failure is almost equal to the true stress at the onset of necking. This stress is called the plastic instability stress (PIS). Cold-worked specimens fail by prompt necking at yield when the yield stress exceeds the PIS of annealed material, indicating that the PIS is independent of prior cold work.

Both single crystal and polycrystalline materials are investigated by means of Raman microspectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). High resolution TEM images of scratch debris reveal various microstructural changes including formation of nanocrystals, as well as lattice shearing and distortion on nanoscale. Deformation bands and microcracks oriented along the (1 1 3) planes are visible in cross-sectional TEM micrographs of indentations. Narrow amorphous bands and local disordered areas are observed in plan-view TEM images. Evidence for a high-pressure amorphous phase is also presented. It is concluded that scratching and nanoindentation change the microstructure of boron carbide in a similar manner. In addition, the evidence for formation of sp2 hybridized carbon as a result of structural changes induced by contact loading is found by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).

T1 - Mechanical properties of single crystal YAg JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2004/08/02/ VL - 52 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 4033 EP - 4040 SN - 13596454 AB - YAg, a rare earth-precious metal “line compound”, is one member of the family of B2 rare earth intermetallic compounds that exhibit high ductilities. Tensile tests of polycrystalline YAg specimens have produced elongations as high as 27% before failure. In the present work, single crystal specimens of YAg with the B2, CsCl-type crystal structure were tensile tested at room temperature. Specimens with a tensile axis orientation of [0 1 &1macr;] displayed slip lines on the specimen faces corresponding to slip on the {1 1 0}〈0 1 0〉 with a critical resolved shear stress of 13 MPa. A specimen with a tensile axis orientation of [1 0 0] showed no slip lines and began to crack at a stress of 300 MPa. The test specimens also displayed some slip lines whose position corresponded to slip on the {1 0 0}〈0 1 0〉; these slip lines were found near intersections of {1 1 0}〈0 1 0〉 slip lines, which suggests that the {1 0 0}〈0 1 0〉 may be a secondary slip system in YAg. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) examination of the crystals was performed after tensile testing and the dislocations observed were analyzed by g · b=0 out of contrast analysis. This TEM analysis indicated that the predominant Burgers vector for the dislocations present was 〈1 1 1〉 with some 〈0 1 1〉 dislocations also being observed. This finding is inconsistent with the 〈0 1 0〉 slip direction determined by slip line analysis, and possible explanations for this surprising finding are presented.

In this paper, the two most common ink-dispensing technologies, thermal and piezoelectric, were investigated, tested, and compared in terms of their ease of use and spotting quality. Ink cartridges were used as sample reservoirs and refilled with small volumes (as low as 20 μL) of water-based sample solutions containing herring sperm DNA and fluorescent dyes. Different solution compositions were evaluated and compared. Microscopic spots (<200 μm) were printed on various membranes (cellulose, nylon, nitrocellulose, and Zeta-Probe) and glass microscope slides. This technique enabled rapid preparation of a large number of printed arrays of biological materials at extremely low cost. To further demonstrate the utility of the microarray platform, we performed an assay of Bacillus anthracis, detected through DNA hybridization using fluorescent probes complementary to the B. anthracis target printed on a membrane. A comparison of Zeta-Probe and nylon membranes yielded less non-specific binding when using the Zeta-Probe membrane. In addition, detection of 100 fmol of the target per printed spot was demonstrated.

Results show that, for all the ion irradiation conditions studied, bombardment increases the hardness and Young’s modulus and decreases the tensile strength. These changes depend close to linearly on ion fluence and superlinearly (with a power-law exponent factor of ∼1.5) on electronic energy loss. Physical mechanisms of radiation-induced changes to mechanical properties of polyimide are discussed.

The real parts of anomalous scattering factors for the two Mn sites were refined from a series of powder diffraction patterns collected at the vicinity of K absorption edge of Mn. The results of Rietveld refinements showed that the two distinct cation sites can obviously be distinguished from each other and that Mn2+ ions occupy the tetrahedral site and Mn3+ ions are located at the octahedral site.

Variations in PFM contrast of individual grains due to their random crystallographic orientation are consistent with the grain switching behavior examined via vertical and lateral hysteresis loops. Theoretical description of vertical hysteresis loop shape obtained in the point-charge approximation is shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Dependence of the hysteresis loop parameters on the grain crystallographic orientation is analyzed. It has been found that grain deviation from the ideal (010) orientation when the polar axis is normal to the film plane results in the decrease of the PFM signal and increase of the coercive voltage in agreement with theoretical predictions.

Am. Chem. Soc. 120 (1998) 12950; Chem. Biol. 6 (1999) 85; Nature 382 (1996) 731]. Proton motion in the base pair hydrogen bonds has also been found to affect the transfer rate. To explain this behavior we propose a model considering interactions of doped charges with hydrogen bonds and vibrations in DNA. The charge trapped by either protons or vibrations can cause structural distortions leading to polaron formation. By further considering polaron diffusion in DNA we find that the charge transfer rate derived from the diffusion coefficient is in good agreement with the experimental results in poly(A)–poly(T) DNA (ko∼1010 s-1) [J.

Measurements of gamma-ray dose rates were made using Red Perspex™ polymethyl methacrylate high-dose film, a Radcal “peanut” ion chamber, and Eberline's RO-7 high-range ion chamber. As a comparison, the Monte Carlo MCNP code and MicroShield code were used to model the gamma-ray transport and dose buildup. The gamma-ray dose rate at 8 cm above the center of the Transition Plate was measured to be 160 Gy h-1 (using an RO-7) and 88 Gy h-1 at 8 cm above and about 5 cm lateral to the Transition Plate (using Red Perspex film). This compares with a calculated dose rate of 172 Gy h-1 using MicroShield™. The gamma-ray dose rate was 16.2 Gy h-1 measured at 76 cm from the reactor core (using the “peanut” ion chamber) and 16.3 Gy h-1 at 87 cm from the core (using Red Perspex film). The similarity of dose rates measured with different instruments indicates that using different methods and instruments is acceptable if the measurement (and calculation) parameters are well defined. Different measurement techniques may be necessary due to constraints such as size restrictions.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/08/02/Aug2004 Part 2 of 2 VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1902 EP - 1908 SN - 00189499 AB - High resistivity magnetic Czochralski Si detectors were irradiated with 60Co gamma rays, neutrons, and protons to various doses/fluences, along with control float zone Si detectors. 1) It has been found that for gamma radiation, magnetic Czochralski Si detectors behave similarly to the high-temperature, long-time (HTLT) oxygenated float zone Si detectors. There is no space charge sign inversion and there is a buildup of positive space charges. The rate for this buildup is much higher than that for the oxygenated Si detectors and is proportional to the oxygen concentration. 2) For neutron radiation, there is little difference between magnetic Czochralski and control float zone silicon detectors. Space charge sign inversion is observed for both materials. The introduction rate of deep acceptors (beta) for magnetic Czochralski Si detectors is slightly less than that for control float zone Si detectors, and 3) for proton radiation (10 and 20 MeV), although the space charge sign inversion is also observed for magnetic Czochralski Si detectors, the 1-MeV neutron-equivalent space charge sign inversion fluence is about three times higher than that of magnetic Czochralski Si detectors irradiated with neutrons. Also, the acceptor introduction rate beta is about half of that for oxygenated Si detectors. Thus, high resistivity magnetic Czochralski Si behaves in a similar manner to the HTLT oxygenated float zone Si detectors and is even more radiation resistant to damage caused by charged particles.

JO - Indoor Air JF - Indoor Air Y1 - 2004/08/02/Aug2004 Supplement 7 VL - 14 M3 - Article SP - 102 EP - 118 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09056947 AB - It is known that ventilation is necessary to remove indoor-generated pollutants from indoor air or dilute their concentration to acceptable levels. But as the limit values of all pollutants are not known the exact determination of required ventilation rates based on pollutant concentrations is seldom possible. The selection of ventilation rates has to be based also on epidemiological research, laboratory and field experiments and experience. The existing literature indicates that ventilation has a significant impact on several important human outcomes including: (1) communicable respiratory illnesses; (2) sick building syndrome symptoms; (3) task performance and productivity, and (4) perceived air quality (PAQ) among occupants or sensory panels (5) respiratory allergies and asthma. In many studies, prevalence of sick building syndrome symptoms has also been associated with characteristics of HVAC-systems. Often the prevalence of SBS symptoms is higher in air-conditioned buildings than in naturally ventilated buildings. The evidence suggests that better hygiene, commissioning, operation and maintenance of air handling systems may be particularly important for reducing the negative effects of HVAC systems. Ventilation may also have harmful effects on indoor air quality and climate if not properly designed, installed, maintained and operated. Ventilation may bring indoors harmful substances or deteriorate indoor environment. Ventilation interacts also with the building envelope and may deteriorate the structures of the building. Ventilation changes the pressure differences across the structures of building and may cause or prevent infiltration of pollutants from structures or adjacent spaces. Ventilation is also in many cases used to control the thermal environment or humidity in buildings. The paper summarises the current knowledge on positive and negative effects of ventilation on health and other human responses. The focus is on office-type working environment and residential buildings. The review shows that ventilation has various positive impacts on health and productivity of building occupants. Ventilation reduces the prevalence of airborne infectious diseases and thus the number of sick leave days. In office environment a ventilation rate up to 20-25L/s per person seem to decrease the prevalence of SBS-symptoms. Air conditioning systems may increase the prevalence of SBS-symptoms relative to natural ventilation if not clean. In residential buildings the air change rate in cold climates should not be below app. 0.5ach. Ventilation systems may cause pressure differences over the building envelope and bring harmful pollutants indoors.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/02/ VL - 108 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 11927 EP - 11934 SN - 15206106 AB - New observations on the luminescence of In2S3 and europium-doped In2S3 nanoparticles show a green (510 nm) emission from In2S3 and In1.8Eu0.2S3 nanoparticles while a blue (425 nm) emission is observed from In1.6Eu0.4S3 nanoparticles. Both the blue and green emissions have large Stokes shifts of 62 and 110 nm, respectively. Excitation with longer-wavelength photons causes the blue emission to shift to a longer wavelength while the green emission wavelength remains unchanged. The lifetimes of both the green and blue emissions are similar to reported values for excitonic recombination. When doped with Eu3+, in addition to the broad blue and green emissions, a red emission near 615 nm attributed to Eu3+ is observed. Temperature dependences on nanoparticle thin films indicate that with increasing temperature, the green emission wavelength remains constant, however, the blue emission shifts toward longer wavelengths. Based on these observations, the blue emission is attributed to exciton recombination and the green emission to Indium interstitial defects. These nanoparticles show full-color emission with high efficiency, fast lifetime decays, and good stability; they are also relatively simple to prepare, thus making them a new type of phosphor with potential applications in lighting, flat-panel displays, and communications.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/02/ VL - 108 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 12049 EP - 12060 SN - 15206106 AB - A recently developed force field for interactions of water molecules with the (110) surface of rutile (α-TiO2) has been generalized for atomistically detailed molecular dynamics simulations of the interfacial structure of the uncharged mineral surface in contact with liquid SPC/E water at 298 K and 1 atm and for negatively charged surfaces in contact with SPC/E water containing dissolved electrolyte ions (Rb+, Sr2+, Zn2+, Na+, Ca2+, Cl-). Both hydroxylated (dissociative) and nonhydroxylated (associative) surfaces are simulated, since both types of water-surface interactions have been postulated from ab initio calculations and spectroscopic studies under near-vacuum conditions. The positions of water molecules at the interface were found to be very similar for both hydroxylated and nonhydroxylated surfaces, with either terminal hydroxyl groups or associated water molecules occupying the site above each terminal titanium atom. Beyond these surface oxygens, a single additional layer of adsorbed water molecules occupies distinct sites related to the underlying crystal surface structure. The water structure and mobility quickly decay to the bulk liquid properties beyond this second layer. The hydrogen-bonding structure and water orientation in these first two oxygen layers are somewhat sensitive to the hydroxylation of the surface, as are the electrostatic profiles. For all simulated properties, including space-dependent diffusivity of water molecules, the influence of the interface is negligible beyond distances of about 15 Å from the surface. Increasing the temperature to 448 K while maintaining the density at the liquid-vapor saturated condition had minimal effect on the interfacial structure and electrostatic properties. These results are foundational to the simulation of dissolved ion interactions with the surface and the comparison of the simulation results with X-ray standing wave and crystal truncation rod measurements of water and electrolyte solutions in contact with rutile (110) single-crystal surfaces presented in Part 2 of this series.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/02/ VL - 108 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 12061 EP - 12072 SN - 15206106 AB - Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to characterize the microstructure of the interface between aqueous solutions and the (110) surface of rutile (α-TiO2) for hydroxylated and nonhydroxylated surfaces, each either neutral or negatively charged. The fully atomistic description of the rutile surface and its interactions with the fluid phase was based on ab initio calculations, while the aqueous phase was described by the SPC/E model and existing parametrizations for Rb+, Na+, Sr2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, and Cl- ions. Formation of inner-sphere complexes of cations with surface oxygens was identified for all cations studied. On negatively charged surfaces, Zn2+ is shown to sorb at two bidentate sites, between a bridging and terminal oxygen, and between two terminal oxygens (hydroxylated surface only), while all other cations occupy a tetradentate site, in contact with two terminal and two bridging oxygens in adjacent rows on the crystal surface, and directly above an additional triply coordinated oxygen in the Ti-O surface plane. These differences in inner-sphere binding configuration appear to be related to the bare ionic radii of the cations. Simulation results agree very well with X-ray standing wave and crystal truncation rod studies of the inner-sphere adsorption sites of the cations Rb+ and Sr2+. MD and X-ray results for Zn2+ adsorption are qualitatively consistent, but important differences in adsorption heights are discussed. Both MD simulations and X-ray studies indicate that, on rutile (110), interaction of Cl- with neutral and negatively charged surfaces and with sorbed, multivalent cations is minimal. The hydroxylated surface gives better agreement with experiments than the nonhydroxylated surface and is therefore inferred to be the dominant surface in contact with aqueous solutions at ambient conditions. At the negative, hydroxylated surface, the MD results indicate that Sr2+ and Ca2+ also form outer-sphere species that are laterally ordered with respect to the crystal surface structure, though these are much less abundant than the inner-sphere species. At positively charged hydroxylated surfaces, MD simulations indicate Cl- adsorption in the tetradentate site 4.3 Å above the surface, with longer-range ordering of ions and water molecules than was observed on neutral or negatively charged surfaces. The adsorption geometries of ions are not sensitive to an increase of temperature to 448 K.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/02/ VL - 108 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 12092 EP - 12102 SN - 15206106 AB - An electron-hopping model for electrode-to-electrode charge transport through donor-bridge-acceptor assemblies (J. Phys. Chem. B 2003, 107, 10687) is further developed by detailed electrostatic analysis of the assembly and treatment of the steady-state kinetics. Charge transport between the two electrodes proceeds via the D-B-A bridges: D transfers an electron to A through the bridge. The newly formed D+ and A- are then rapidly reduced and oxidized, respectively, at the electrodes giving rise to a steady state in which the current depends on the rate of electron transfer from D to A. The driving force dependence of the nuclear factor for the D to A electron transfer results in the current through the D-B-A bridge increasing with applied voltage (positive differential conductance) in the normal free-energy region but decreasing in the inverted region (negative differential conductance). The electronic factors can be manipulated by changing the separations between the electrodes and DBA or the length of B or by changing the nature of the bridge material. Decreasing the electronic factor for D to A electron transfer decreases the flux at a given applied voltage in the normal region, but the effect is much greater in the inverted region. Possible parallel tunneling and electron hopping mechanisms that could contribute to the current and interfere with the region of negative differential resistance are analyzed in detail. For the coupled electron-transfer sequence considered here, changing electronic factors result in dramatic shifts of the reaction profile.

By suitably choosing the length of the transition steps, the accelerated scheme enables the search process to execute large jumps and escape entrapment in local minima, while retaining the capability to explore local details, whenever warranted. Our simulations confirm the expected improvements and show that the accelerated simulated tempering scheme has a much faster convergence to the target distribution than Geyer and Thompson''s simulated tempering algorithm and exhibits accuracy comparable to the simulated annealing method.

The thickness and abundance of the stromatolitic horizons increase up the section. In the siliciclastic portion of the section, a very poor and taxonomically impoverished assemblage of benthic foraminifers (Jadammina, Nonion, Haynesina, Astrononion and Eponides) is recorded. It is typical for a shallow water marsh or lagoon environment with a lowered salinity. Accordingly, the brackish conditions prevailing during gypsum precipitation in East Crimea continued afterwards, although at the end of evaporite deposition the basin became desiccated and then it was rapidly reflooded by brackish water.The impoverished biota and the occurrence of microbialites in the Ptashkino section indicate extremely unfavourable conditions for most living organisms during the deposition of both the terrigenous and carbonate beds. The water salinity thus was probably not only lowered but also anomalous in composition if compared to normal marine water. The occurrence of carbonate stromatolitic horizons is probably related to the periodic shallowing of the basin caused by a drop of the lake water table driven by climatic factors. The resulted changes allowed for a growth of the bizarre microbial-serpulid communities that gave birth to most of the stromatolites.In Karaganian time, the Eastern Paratethys was a huge lake isolated from the Tethys. This lake responded to any climatic fluctuation that in turn might lead to water level oscillations. In humid climate periods, the lake could be open with a surface outflow and, when it was drier, it could be a closed system without surface outflow. Gypsum evaporites and stromatolitic carbonates are clear evidence of strong evaporation in a dry climate that probably induced water level fall in the whole basin. However, all the time the environmental conditions were predominantly brackish, even during gypsum precipitation as suggested by the chemical composition of fluid inclusions in gypsum. Similar conditions may be expected in other evaporite-hosted, predominantly brackish basins, such as some Messinian basins of the eastern Mediterranean, where some evaporites were deposited in the oligohaline to mesohaline conditions typical of the Lago Mare deposits.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/08/03/ VL - 43 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 9909 EP - 9917 SN - 00062960 AB - The complete genome sequence of the &odelta;-proteobacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens reveals a large abundance of multiheme cytochromes. Cytochrome c7, isolated from this metal ion-reducing bacterium, is a triheme periplasmic electron-transfer protein with Mr 9.6 kDa. This protein is involved in metal ion- reducing pathways and shares 56% sequence identity with a triheme cytochrome isolated from the closely related δ-proteobacterium Desulfuromonas acetoxidans (Dac7). In this work, two-dimensional NMR was used to monitor the heme core and the general folding in solution of the G. sulfurreducens triheme cytochrome c7 (PpcA). NMR signals obtained for the three hemes of PpcA at different stages of oxidation were cross-assigned to the crystal structure [Pokkuluri, P. R., Londer, Y. Y., Duke, N. E. C., Long, W. C., and Schiffer, M. (2004) Biochemistry 43, 849-859] using the complete network of chemical exchange connectivities, and the order in which each heme becomes oxidized was determined at pH 6.0 and 8.2. Redox titrations followed by visible spectroscopy were also performed in order to monitor the macroscopic redox behavior of PpcA. The results obtained showed that PpcA and Dac7 have different redox properties: (i) the order in which each heme becomes oxidized is different; (ii) the reduction potentials of the heme groups and the global redox behavior of PpcA are pH dependent (redox-Bohr effect) in the physiological pH range, which is not observed with Dac7. The differences observed in the redox behavior of PpcA and Dac7 may account for the different functions of these proteins and constitute an excellent example of how homologous proteins can perform different physiological functions. The redox titrations followed by visible spectroscopy of PpcA and two mutants of the conserved residue F15 (PpcAF15Y and PpcAF15W) lead to the conclusion that F15 modulates the redox behavior of PpcA, thus having an important physiological role.

In order to attain nanosized copper particles, the electroless plating parameters should be closely controlled; e.g., the pH value of the plating solution, the temperature, and the concentration and titrating speed of HCOH were critical.

Fluorescence intensity trajectories of individual dye molecules adsorbed on a semiconductor NP surface showed fluorescence fluctuations and blinking, with time constants distributed from milliseconds to seconds. The fluorescence fluctuation dynamics were found to be inhomogeneous from molecule to molecule and from time to time, showing significant static and dynamic disorders in the interfacial El reaction dynamics. We attribute fluorescence fluctuations to the interlacial El reaction rate fluctuations, associating redox reactivity intermittency with the fluctuations of molecule-TiO2 electronic and Franck-Condon coupling. Intermittent interfacial ET dynamics of individual molecules could be characteristic of a surface chemical reaction strongly involved with and regulated by molecule-surface interactions. The intermittent interfacial reaction dynamics that likely occur among single molecules in other interfacial and surface chemical processes can typically be observed by single-molecule studies but not by conventional ensemble-averaged experiments.

Mn2+ZnO nanocrystals were prepared by a hydrolysis and condensation reaction in DMSO under atmospheric conditions. Synthesis was monitored by electronic absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPA) spectroscopies. Zn(OAc)2 was found to strongly inhibit oxidation of Mn2+ by O2, allowing the synthesis of Mn2+:ZnO to be performed aerobically. Mn2+ ions were removed from the surfaces of as-prepared nanocrystals using dodecylamine to yield high-quality internally doped Mn2+:ZnO colloids of nearly spherical shape and uniform diameter (6.1 ± 0.7 nm). Simulations of the highly resolved X- and Q-band nanocrystal EPA spectra, combined with quantitative analysis of magnetic susceptibilities, confirmed that the manganese is substitutionally incorporated into the ZnO nanocrystals as Mn2+ with very homogeneous speciation, differing from bulk Mn2+:ZnO only in the magnitude of D-strain. Robust ferromagnetism was observed in spin- coated thin films of the nanocrystals, with 300 K saturation moments as large as 1.35 μg/Mn2+ and Tc > 350 K. A distinct ferromagnetic resonance signal was observed in the EPA spectra of the ferromagnetic films. The occurrence of ferromagnetisrn in Mn2+ZnO and its dependence on synthetic variables are discussed in the context of these and previous theoretical and experimental results.

These materials are unusual in their combination of headgroup-directed 2D crystalline framework ordering, zeolite-like ring structures within the layers, and long-range mesoscopic organization without three-dimensional (3D) atomic periodicity. The absence of registry between the silicate sheets, resulting from the liquidlike disorder of the alkyl surtactant chains, has presented significant challenges to the determination of framework structures in these and similar materials lacking 3D crystalline order. Double- quantum 29Si NMFI correlation experiments establish the interactions and connectivities between distinct intra-sheet silicon sites from which the structure of the molecularly ordered inorganic framework is determined.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/08/05/ VL - 108 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 6750 EP - 6757 SN - 10895639 AB - Assembly and disassembly of protein-bound iron-sulfur clusters are involved in a wide variety of vital biological processes, ranging from biosynthesis to regulation of biological function. The study of the fission of analogue clusters can provide valuable insight into the various reaction mechanisms that can occur in proteins as well as tests of the ability of theoretical studies to interpret experiment. Previously, we observed symmetric fission of doubly charged Fe-S cluster anions, [Fe4S4X4]2- → 2[Fe2S2X2]- (X = SC2H5, Cl, Br) in the gas phase, which is surprising because four strong Fe-S bonds are being broken. Here, we report a study of the detailed fission mechanism using density functional theory in conjunction with photoelectron spectroscopic results for X = Cl. Both the experimental and theoretical results suggest that the fission daughter products are low-spin [Fe2S2Cl2]- (S = 1/2) species. However, the layered structure of the cubane would seem to indicate a mechanism that would give high-spin daughter products. Thus, we investigate the symmetric fission of [Fe4S4Cl4]2- along two possible reaction pathways, involving high-spin and low-spin [Fe2S2Cl2]- fragments, respectively. Though the high-spin channel is endothermic by 1.34 eV with a high barrier of 2.65 eV, the reaction along the low-spin fission channel is more favorable with an exothermicity of 0.53 eV and a lower barrier of 1.51 eV. Two intermediates are observed along the low-spin fission channel, a spin-localized cubane [Fe4S4Cl4]2- cluster, which contains two valence-localized Fe3+ centers and two valence-localized Fe2+ centers, and a half-opened [Fe4S4Cl4]2- cluster. The spin-localized cluster is crucial to breaking the four strong Fe-S bonds in the symmetric fission.

T1 - Crystal Structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis dUTPase: Insights into the Catalytic Mechanism JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2004/08/06/ VL - 341 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 503 EP - 517 SN - 00222836 AB - The structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dUTP nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) has been determined at 1.3 Å resolution in complex with magnesium ion and the non-hydrolyzable substrate analog, α,β-imido dUTP. dUTPase is an enzyme essential for depleting potentially toxic concentrations of dUTP in the cell. Given the importance of its biological role, it has been proposed that inhibiting M. tuberculosis dUTPase might be an effective means to treat tuberculosis infection in humans. The crystal structure presented here offers some insight into the potential for designing a specific inhibitor of the M. tuberculosis dUTPase enzyme. The structure also offers new insights into the mechanism of dUTP hydrolysis by providing an accurate representation of the enzyme–substrate complex in which both the metal ion and dUTP analog are included. The structure suggests that inclusion of a magnesium ion is important for stabilizing the position of the α-phosphorus for an in-line nucleophilic attack. In the absence of magnesium, the α-phosphate of dUTP can have either of the two positions which differ by 4.5 Å. A transiently ordered C-terminal loop further assists catalysis by shielding the general base, Asp83, from solvent thus elevating its pKa so that it might in turn activate a tightly bound water molecule for nucleophilic attack. The metal ion coordinates α, β, and γ phosphate groups with tridentate geometry identical with that observed in the crystal structure of DNA polymerase β complexed with magnesium and dNTP analog, revealing some common features in catalytic mechanism.

We begin by considering the case of low-rate transcription and show that the previously reported shot noise representation is exact at all mRNA population levels for a constant transcription rate. Next, we consider transcriptional control through protein–DNA interactions at an operator site within the gene promoter region. This analysis results in expressions for the dynamics and noise behavior of this important gene sub-circuit, including the spectral density of the intrinsic operator noise and the processing of extrinsic noise by this transcriptional regulation system. This analysis shows that mRNA synthesis noise is composed of wideband shot noise and band-limited operator binding generated noise components. We find that the bandwidth of operator noise and its ultimate effect on total mRNA and protein noise is controlled by operator binding and unbinding dynamics. The most substantial impact of the operator noise is seen at transcription rates just above basal expression. This analysis captures the full behavior of this transcriptional regulation system, and points to potentially serious flaws in simplified mathematical relationships often used to model transcriptional regulation.

The data show a rapid decline of ambient atmospheric BC between 1962 and the early 1990s that exceeds the decline in official estimates of BC emissions based only on amount of fuel use and mostly fixed emission factors. This provides empirical confirmation of the existence and large impact of a time-dependent “technology factor” that must multiply the rate of fossil fuel use. Current ambient BC amounts in Great Britain comparable to those in western and central Europe, with diesel engines being the principal present source. From comparison of BC and SO2 data we infer that current BC emission inventories understate true emissions in the UK by about a factor of two. The results imply that there is the potential for improved technology to achieve large reduction of global ambient BC. There is a need for comparable monitoring of BC in other countries.

Sorption of aqueous CL-20 is relatively small (Kd=0.02–3.83 cm3 g-1 for 7 sediments and 12 minerals), which results in only slight retardation relative to water movement. Thus, CL-20 could move quickly through unsaturated and saturated sediments of comparable composition to groundwater, similar to the subsurface behavior of RDX. CL-20 sorption was mainly to mineral surfaces of the sediments, and the resulting isotherm was nonlinear. CL-20 abiotically degrades in oxic environments at slow rates (i.e., 10s to 100s of hours) with a wide variety of minerals, but at fast rates (i.e., minutes) in the presence of 2:1 phyllosilicate clays (hectorite, montmorillonite, nontronite), micas (biotite, illite), and specific oxides (MnO2 and the ferrous-ferric iron oxide magnetite). High concentrations of surface ferrous iron in a dithionite reduced sediment degraded CL-20 the fastest (half-life < 0.05 h), but 2:1 clays containing no structural or adsorbed ferrous iron (hectorite) could also quickly degrade CL-20 (half-life < 0.2 h). CL-20 degradation rates were slower in natural sediments (half-life 3–800 h) compared to minerals. Sediments with slow degradation rates and small sorption would exhibit the highest potential for deep subsurface migration. Products of CL-20 oxic degradation included three high molecular weight compounds and anions (nitrite and formate). The 2–3.5 moles of nitrite produced suggest CL-20 nitro-groups are degraded, and the amount of formate produced (0.2–1.2 moles) suggests the CL-20 cage structure is broken in some sediments. Identification of further degradation products and CL-20 mineralization rates is needed to fully assess the impact of these CL-20 transformation rates on the risk of CL-20 (and degradation product) subsurface movement.

K. Kendrick, J. Chem. Phys. 119, 5805 (2003)]. The methodology is applied to an N-dimensional model chemical reaction with an activation barrier. A parallel version of the methodology is presented which is designed to run on massively parallel supercomputers. The computational scaling properties of the parallel code are investigated both as a function of the number of processors and the dimension N. A decoupling scheme is introduced which decouples the multidimensional quantum hydrodynamic equations into a set of uncoupled one-dimensional problems. The decoupling scheme dramatically reduces the computation time and is highly parallelizable. Furthermore, the computation time is shown to scale linearly with respect to the dimension N=2,...,100. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/08/08/ VL - 121 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2563 EP - 2570 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Recent advances in computational methods have made it possible to calculate the wave functions for a wide variety of simple actinide complexes. Equally important is the ability to analyze the information contained therein and produce a chemically meaningful understanding of the electronic structure. Yet the performance of the most common wave function analyses for the calculation of atomic charge and bond order has not been thoroughly investigated for actinide systems. This is particularly relevant because the calculation of charge and bond order even in transition metal complexes is known to be fraught with difficulty. Here we use Mulliken, Löwdin, natural population analysis, atoms-in-molecules (AIM), and fuzzy atom techniques to determine the charges and bond orders of UO22+, PuO22+, UO2, UO2Cl42-, UO2(CO)52+, UO2(CO)42+, UO2(CN)53-, UO2(CN)42-, UO2(OH)53-, and UO2(OH)42-. This series exhibits a clear experimental and computational trend in bond lengths and vibrational frequencies. The results indicate that Mulliken and Löwdin populations and bond orders are unreliable for the actinyls. Natural population analysis performs well after modification of the partitioning of atomic orbitals to include the 6d in the valence space. The AIM topological partitioning is insensitive to the electron donating ability of the equatorial ligands and the relative atomic volume of the formally U(VI) center is counterintuitively larger than that of O2- in the UO22+ core. Lastly, the calibrated fuzzy atom method yields reasonable bond orders for the actinyls at significantly reduced computational cost relative to the AIM analysis. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/08/08/ VL - 121 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2655 EP - 2663 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - We report estimates of complete basis set (CBS) limits at the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation level of theory (MP2) for the binding energies of the lowest-lying isomers within each of the four major families of minima of (H2O)20. These were obtained by performing MP2 calculations with the family of correlation-consistent basis sets up to quadruple ζ quality, augmented with additional diffuse functions (aug-cc-pVnZ, n=D, T, Q). The MP2/CPS estimates are -200.1 (dodecahedron, 30 hydrogen bonds), -212.6 (fused cubes, 36 hydrogen bonds), -215.0 (face-sharing pentagonal prisms, 35 hydrogen bonds), and -217.9 kcal/mol (edge-sharing pentagonal prisms, 34 hydrogen bonds). The energetic ordering of the various (H2O)20 isomers does not follow monotonically the number of hydrogen bonds as in the case of smaller clusters such as the different isomers of the water hexamer. The dodecahedron lies ca. 18 kcal/mol higher in energy than the most stable edge-sharing pentagonal prism isomer. The TIP4P, ASP-W4, TTM2-R, AMOEBA, and TTM2-F empirical potentials also predict the energetic stabilization of the edge-sharing pentagonal prisms with respect to the dodecahedron, albeit they universally underestimate the cluster binding energies with respect to the MP2/CBS result. Among them, the TTM2-F potential was found to predict the absolute cluster binding energies to within <1% from the corresponding MP2/CBS values, whereas the error for the rest of the potentials considered in this study ranges from 3% to 5%. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

All interactions are of a Lennard-Jones form, for both monomer-monomer interactions and surface-monomer interactions, rather than the hard core interactions which have been most investigated in the literature. For repulsive systems, the theory somewhat overpredicts the density oscillations near a surface. Nevertheless, near quantitative agreement with simulation can be obtained with an empirical scaling of the direct correlation function. Use of the random phase approximation to treat attractive interactions between polymer chains gives reasonable agreement with simulation of dense liquids near neutral and attractive surfaces. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Both coherent interfaces (with large coherency stresses) and semi-coherent interfaces (with misfit dislocations in the interface) typical of nanolayer metal composites are considered. The primary damage state of cascades from 5 keV recoil atoms in the composite differs from that in cascades generated in pure Cu and Ni. In the semi-coherent case some defect clusters form directly on the misfit dislocations. Excluding these, the defect yields for both interface types are about two-thirds of the average yield of defects for cascades in the pure metals. In single cascades, as well as for overlapping multiple cascades, the numbers of surviving defects in the semi-coherent interface are significantly different in the Cu and Ni layers, but they are the same in Cu and Ni for the coherent case. Anti-site atomic mixing occurs near both types of interfaces, more so in the coherent case.

Oxygen doping up to 360 appm (∼90 wt ppm) did not significantly affect the void swelling of copper for these irradiation conditions.

Dislocation channel deformation is observed in all metals, and is coincident with prompt plastic instability at yield. Dislocation pileup was observed at grain boundaries in the deformed vanadium irradiated to 0.012 dpa, indicating that channel formation could lead to dislocation pileup and the resulting stress localization could be a source of grain boundary cracking. TEM analysis suggests that the loss of work hardening capacity in irradiated V, Cu, and Zr at higher doses is mainly due to dislocation channeling in local regions that experience a high resolved shear stress.

These samples were annealed and then exposed to deuterium ions using a DC glow discharge. Following exposure, the samples were subjected to a linear temperature ramp from ∼300 to ∼1500 K, and the offgas analyzed by mass spectrometry. The results indicate that annealing to a temperature of only 1273 K for 6 h effectively removed all irradiation-produced traps, and that hydrogen trapping at voids is not as prevalent as had been assumed. Modeling the deuterium release suggests that most of the trapping occurred in near-surface 1.4 eV traps, in a low concentration of uniform 1.4 eV traps, and in 0.95 eV traps likely resulting from oxygen diffusion from the original water-cooled irradiation environment.

Relatively ductile metals, V, Nb, and Zr, experienced uniform deformation prior to necking at low doses and prompt plastic instability at yield at high doses. Mo failed in a brittle mode within the elastic limit at doses above 0.0001 dpa. V showed a quasi-brittle failure at the highest dose of 0.69 dpa. In the ductile metals, plastic instability at yield occurred when the yield stress exceeded the plastic instability stress (PIS), which was nearly independent of dose. The PIS values for V, Nb, Mo, and Zr were about 390, 370, 510, and 170 MPa, respectively. The coincidence of plastic instability at yield and dislocation channeling cannot be generalized for all metallic materials.

This is surprising in that an apparent flux sensitivity was observed in an earlier comparative irradiation of the same Fe–Cr binaries conducted in EBR-II and FFTF. The difference in behavior between the two experiments is ascribed to the higher helium generation rates of Fe–Cr alloys in EBR-II compared to that of FFTF, and also the fact that lower dpa rates in FFTF are accompanied by progressively lower helium generation rates.

In addition to the effect of dose rate on swelling, it was desired to study the effect of boron addition to produce variations in He/dpa ratio. A strong effect of dose rate was observed, so strong that the relatively small distances separating the boron-free and doped alloys introduced a complication into the experiment. For specimens irradiated within the core, boron addition had no significant effect. For irradiations conducted near or outside the core edge, swelling appeared to be either enhanced or decreased by boron. The variability was a consequence of a strong dose rate effect overwhelming the influence of boron and helium. It is shown that helium exerted little influence relative to other important factors in these alloys.

Five irradiated specimens were tensile tested at 300 K, but four of the specimens were stopped at specific strains – just before the yield point at ∼90% of the macroscopic yield, at 1.5% and 5% elongation, and near the ultimate tensile strength at 14.5% elongation, with the 5th specimen tested to failure (eT=22%). SEM and TEM characterization of the deformed specimens revealed that the plastic strain was confined primarily to the `cleared'' channels only, and that channels were present in a low number even before the macroscopic yield. New primary channels and secondary channels continued to form with increasing strain, suggesting the increase in stress was related directly to the initiation of new channels as earlier sources were exhausted.

Together, these changes substantially reduce uniform elongation compared to the unirradiated material condition so that the small strains induce plastic instability. This process, commonly known as flow localization, is examined here for selected copper alloys and compared to similar response in 316SS. It is found that uniform elongation levels are limited by a critical material strength which is independent of the irradiation damage state. This result establishes that the details of the post-yield flow and strain hardening processes are less important than the critical stress for controlling plastic instability. In the case of OFHC Cu, post-irradiation heat treatment restores some initial ductility, but also reduces the critical stress for incipient flow localization.

The obtained result indicates that 60° dislocations have stronger interaction with the spontaneously truncated SFT than pure screws or edges. Due to the high activation energy, the collapse and absorption of the SFTs seems to be limited to the cases where the approaching dislocations along 〈1 1 0〉 directly cut the SFTs symmetrically. The anisotropic energetics can contribute to the spatially limited growth of defect-cleared channels observed in the irradiated materials.

For some materials, it is not safe to assume that in-reactor spectral variations are small and of no consequence. This point is illustrated using calculations for fusion-relevant materials that were irradiated in the Fast Flux Test Facility–Materials Open Test Assembly (FFTF–MOTA) over a wide range of in-core and out-of-core positions spanning more than two orders of magnitude in dpa rate. It is shown that although both the neutron spectrum and flux changes, the spectral effectiveness factor, dpa/1022 n/cm2 (E>0.1 MeV), remains remarkably constant over this range. The transmutation rate per dpa varies strongly with reactor position, however.

This material will be exposed to high neutron irradiation fluxes during operation. Radiation damage results in point defects that can lead to obscuration of this material; that is, degradation of the optical properties of silica. In this paper, we present molecular dynamic simulations of defect production in silica glass. Results on the threshold displacement energies due to oxygen primary knock-on atoms (PKA) are reported concluding that a range of energies (20–40 eV) exists in which the defects have a probability to be created. In addition, we determine a range of distances for a PKA to become a stable defect from its original position. Our present analysis is focused on the formation of oxygen deficient centers (ODC).

Symmetrical tilt GBs spanning a range of GB energies and excess volumes were examined. Molecular statics was used to map the He trapping efficiency at numerous substitutional and interstitial sites in and near each GB. The results showed that both substitutional and interstitial He atoms were trapped at GBs. Interstitial He was more strongly bound (Egbi∼0.5–2.7 eV) to the GB core than substitutional He (Egbs∼0.2–0.8 eV). The He binding energy was found to increase linearly with GB excess volume. The He capture radius varied from ∼0.3 to 0.7 nm and also depended on GB properties. Finally, the He binding energy varied significantly within the GB core and approximately corresponded to the variation in atomic excess volume normal to the GB plane.

The central issue is describing the individual interaction between a moving dislocation and an SFT, which is characterized by a very fine size scale, ∼100 nm. This scale is amenable to both in situ TEM experiments and large-scale atomic modelling. In this paper we present results of an atomistic simulation of dislocation–SFT interactions using molecular dynamics (MD). The results are compared with observations from in situ deformation experiments. It is demonstrated that in some cases the simulations and experimental observations are quite similar, suggesting a reasonable interpretation of experimental observations.

We have considered a 1/2 〈1 1 1〉 edge dislocation gliding in α-iron containing coherent copper precipitates of size from 0.7 to 6 nm over a temperature range from 0 to 450 K. The results demonstrate that some features are qualitatively consistent with earlier theoretical conclusions, e.g. the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) is proportional to L-1 and ln(D), where L and D are precipitate spacing and diameter. Other features, which are intrinsic to the atomic-level nature of the dislocation–precipitate interaction, include strong dependence of the CRSS on temperature, dislocation climb and precipitate phase transformation.

However, preliminary results indicate several factors alter `normal'' cascade evolution, leading to quite different defect production behavior. Further investigation of three such factors has been carried out: (1) primary knock-on atom (PKA) direction, (2) nearby free surfaces, and (3) pre-existing effects. Results of the investigation confirm these factors significantly impact damage production. Effects include: enhanced defect survival for PKA directions lying in close-packed {1 1 0} planes, increased point defect clustering and larger defect clusters in cascades initiated near a surface, and reduced defect survival in material containing defects. The origin and implications of these effects are discussed relative to the interpretation of certain experimental observations and parameters used in other modeling studies.

T1 - A master curve analysis of F82H using statistical and constraint loss size adjustments of small specimen data JO - Journal of Nuclear Materials JF - Journal of Nuclear Materials Y1 - 2004/08/08/ VL - 329-333 M3 - Article SP - 1243 EP - 1247 SN - 00223115 AB - We assembled a fracture toughness database for the IEA heat of F82H based on a variety of specimen sizes with a nominal ASTM E1921 master curve (MC) reference temperature T0=-119±3 °C. However, the data are not well represented by a MC. T0 decreases systematically with a decreasing deformation limit Mlim starting at ≈200, which is much higher than the E1921 censoring limit of 30, indicating large constraint loss in small specimens. The small scale yielding T0 at high Mlim is ≈98±5 °C. While, the scatter was somewhat larger than predicted, after model-based adjustments for the effects of constraint loss, the data are in reasonably good agreement with a MC with T0=-98 °C. This supports to use of MC methods to characterize irradiation embrittlement, as long as both constraint loss and statistical size effects are properly accounted for. Finally, we note various issues, including sources of the possible excess scatter, which remain to be fully assessed.

Sn–Li coolants offer a number of advantages compared with pure lithium. The vapor pressure of Sn–25Li (0.25 Li mol fraction) is a factor of ∼1000 lower than that of pure Li, which allows an increase in coolant temperatures by as much as 450 K. Experimental data of the stability of ceramic materials in Sn–Li is scarce. The thermodynamic stability of various oxides, carbides, and nitrides in Sn–Li is estimated as a function of lithium composition and temperature at saturated solute concentrations by evaluating the Gibbs free energy of reaction, (ΔrG). At 773 K most of the studied nitrides, carbides, and some oxides were found to be stable (ΔrG>0). However, oxides of Fe-based alloys, such as Cr2O3 and Fe2O3 were found to be unstable (ΔrG<0) for all lithium compositions.

Reaction phases were identified and the diffusion path was demonstrated by means of quantitative analysis. Four distinctive reaction phases, namely tungsten silicides (WSi2, W5Si3) and tungsten carbides (WC, W2C), were formed in various processing conditions. Complex reactions were confirmed in tungsten-SiC diffusion pair, and the diffusion path was experimentally verified as SiC/WSi2/WC/W5Si3/W2C/W. Mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by flexural and shear tests. Joint shear strength as high as ∼90 MPa was obtained even when substantial interfacial reaction occurred, however, excessive growth of the reaction layer caused a severe degradation in strength.

The aging at 673 K for 1000 h or Ni ion irradiation at 573 and 673 K to 10 dpa did not promote the interdiffusion and void swelling at the interface. The hardness in both Cu alloys and stainless steel was increased by irradiation, however, it was decreased by aging except for CuNiBe alloy. The hardness change in CuNiBe alloy was larger than that in CuAl25 alloy. The hardness changes would have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of joint materials.

We selected the recirculating flow configuration as our reference design. Based on the material properties of AFS, we found that the reference design can handle a maximum surface heat flux of 1 MW/m2, and a maximum neutron wall loading of 5.4 MW/m2, with a gross thermal efficiency of 47%, while meeting all the tritium breeding and structural design requirements. This paper covers the results of the following areas of evaluation: materials selection, first wall and blanket design configuration, materials compatibility, components fabrication, neutronics analysis, thermal hydraulics analysis including MHD effects, structural analysis, molten salt and helium closed cycle power conversion system, and safety and waste disposal of the recirculating coolant design.

At large bias, the contribution of free electrons and holes to the photoluminescence is significantly reduced due to the dead-layer effect. As a result, striking features are revealed in the spectra close to the fundamental absorption. These features are attributed to exciton decay via yellow luminescence centers.

A Curie temperature (TC) of ∼350 K is measured in a sample grown with a Mn/In flux ratio of 0.15. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy confirms that most of the Mn remains within the InAs quantum dots. We propose as a possible explanation for this high TC the effects of magnetic and structural disorder introduced by a random incorporation and inhomogeneous distribution of Mn atoms amongst the InAs quantum dots.

Eight light-emitting diodes are focused on various positions of a gold-coated silicon cantilever through optical fibers, and temperature change or chemical adsorption induces cantilever bending. The deflection at each point on the cantilever is measured with subnanometer precision by a position-sensitive detector, and thus the curvature of the cantilever is obtained.

The compounds crystallize in the three-dimensional tetragonal structure of BaAl4, l4/mmm, Z = 2 (a = 4.8107(4), 4.8604(2) A, and c = 11.980(2), 12.180(2) Å for BaAuln3 and BaAuTl3, respectively). Gold randomly substitutes for 50% of the In or Tl in the apical (4e) positions in the network, generating apical-apical atom distances of 2.77 and 2.70 Å, respectively, values that are comparable to the single bond metallic radii sum for Au plus In, and 0.08 Å less than that for Au plus Tl. Relativistic effects appear to be important for both of the latter elements. The shrinkage in distances and increase in bond strengths evidently stabilize BaAuTl3 relative to the distorted BaTl4 with a presumably oversized triel lattice. EHTB band calculations indicate that the two compounds are electron-deficient relative to optimal Au-Tr and Au-Au bonding and metallic, the latter in agreement with measured properties of BaAuTl3.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/08/09/ VL - 43 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 5044 EP - 5052 SN - 00201669 AB - A new transition metal Zintl phase, Yb9ZnγSSb9, was prepared by high-temperature flux syntheses as large single crystals, or by direct fusion of the corresponding elements in polycrystalline form. Its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its Ca-counterpart, hitherto known as Ca9Zn4Sb9, and the presence of nonstoichiometry in it were also studied. Yb9Zn4+xSb9 was found to exist in a narrow homogeneity range, as suggested from the crystallographic data at 90(3) K (orthorhombic, space group Pbam (No. 55), Z=2): (1) a=21.677(2) Å, b=12.3223(10) Å, c=4.5259(4) Å, R1=3.09%, wR2=7.18% for Yb9Zn4.23(2)Sb9; (2) a=21.706(2) Å, b=12.3381(13) Å, c=4.5297(5) Å, R1=2.98%, wR2=5.63% for Yb9Zn4.380(12)Sb9; and (3) a=21.700(2) Å, b=12.3400(9) Å, c=4.5339(4) Å, R1=2.75%, wR2=5.65% for Yb9Zn4.384(14)Sb9. The isostructural Ca9Zn4.478(8)Sb9 has unit cell parameters a = 21.830(2) Å, b=12.4476(9) Å, and c=4.5414(3) Å (R1=3.33%, wR2=5.83%). The structure type in which these compounds crystallize is related to the Ca9Mn4Bi9 type, and can be considered an interstitially stabilized variant. Formal electron count suggests that the Yb or Ca cations are in the +2 oxidation state. This is supported by the virtually temperature-independent magnetization for Yb9Zn4.5Sb9. Electrical resistivity data show that Yb9Zn4.5Sb9 and Ca9Zn4.5Sb9 are poor metals with room-temperature resistivity of 10.2 and 19.6 mΩ·cm, respectively. The data indicate that the meso carbon atoms of [Fe-(TEtPrP)ClO4] have considerable amounts of positive spin, which in turn indicate that the iron has an unpaired electron in the dxy orbital; the unpaired electron in the dxy orbital is delocalized to the meso positions due to the iron(dxy)-porphyrin(a2u) interaction. Similar results have been obtained in analogous [Fe(TiprP)X] though the intermediate-spin character of [Fe(TiPrP)X] is much larger than that of the corresponding [Fe(TEtPrP)X]. On the basis of these results, we have concluded that the highly ruffled intermediate-spin complexes such as [Fe(TEtPrP)-ClO4] and [Fe(TiPrP)ClO4] adopt a novel (dxz, dyz)3(dxy)1(dz2)1 electron configuration; the electron configuration of the intermediate-spin complexes reported previously is believed to be (dxy)2(dxz, dyz)2(dz2)1.

The composition and molecular weight of the Au20(PPh3)8 complex were confirmed by the isotopic pattern and accurate mass measurement of its doubly charged cation using high-resolution mass spectrometry. A collision-induced dissociation experiment showed that four PPh3 ligands can be easily removed from Au20(PPh3)82+, resulting in a highly stable Au20(PPh3)42+ ion. This observation is consistent with the tetrahedral Au20, in which the four apex sites are expected to bond to the PPh3 ligands strongly, and is confirmed by theoretical calculations that predict a highly stable Au20(PH3)4 complex with Au-PH3 bond energies of ~1 eV. The current experimental and theoretical observations suggest that large quantities of ligand-stabilized tetrahedral Au20 can be obtained, opening the door for exploring its anticipated novel chemical, optical, and catalytic properties.

We have obtained well-resolved 31P NMR spectra and 13C NMR spectra for both La-EMF/HMPA and Y-EMF/HMPA and 139La spectra for the La-EMF/HMPA. The 31P measurements on La-EMF/HMPA and Y-EMF/HMPA have revealed considerable chemical shifts of 31P signals relative to pure HMPA. Two-dimensional exchange 31P experiments revealed that HMPA molecules at different sites in the EMF/HMPA complex do not change positions at a time scale of up to 1 s. Both EMF samples demonstrate a vast chemical shift range for 31P of the bound HMPA molecules. In addition, the La-EMF/HMPA exhibits the enormous spreading of the chemical shifts for 139La. The experimental results suggest that paramagnetic La@C82 and Y@C82 in the solid state form clusters (nanoparticles) in which the exchange coupling of the EMF takes place with quenching of the most electron spins.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/09/ VL - 108 IS - 33 M3 - Article SP - 12497 EP - 12511 SN - 15206106 AB - It is shown that 532 and 1064 nm laser photoexcitation of trapped electrons generated by 355 nm photolysis of aqueous titania (TiO2) nanoparticles causes rapid photobleaching of their absorbance band in the visible and near-IR. This photobleaching occurs within the duration of the laser pulse (3 ns fwhm); it is caused by photoinduced electron detrapping followed by rapid recombination of the resulting free electron and a trapped hole. The quantum yield for the electron photobleaching is ca. 0.28 for 532 nm and ca. 0.024 for 1064 nm photoexcitation. Complete separation of the spectral contributions from trapped electron and hole is demonstrated using glycerol as a selective hole scavenger. When glycerol is added to the solution, some light-absorbing holes are scavenged promptly within the duration of the 355 nm photoexcitation pulse, some are scavenged at a slower rate over the first 200 ns after the 355 nm pulse, and the rest are not scavenged, even at high concentration of the scavenger (>10 vol. %). A reaction with chemi- and physisorbed glycerol would account for the prompt and the slow hole decay, respectively. The implications of these results are discussed.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/09/ VL - 108 IS - 33 M3 - Article SP - 12512 EP - 12517 SN - 15206106 AB - Time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy has been used to study electron dynamics in aqueous anatase nanoparticles (pH = 4, 4.6 nm diameter) in the presence of hole scavengers: chemisorbed polyols and carbohydrates. These polyhydroxy compounds are rapidly oxidized by the holes on the nanoparticles; 50-60% of these holes are scavenged within the duration of 3.3 ns fwhm, 355 nm excitation laser pulse. The scavenging efficiency rapidly increases with the number of anchoring hydroxyl groups and varies considerably as a function of the carbohydrate structure. A specific binding site for the polyols and carbohydrates is suggested that involves an octahedral Ti atom chelated by the -CH2(OH)-CH2(OH)- ligand. This mode of binding accounts for the depletion of undercoordinated Ti atoms observed in the XANES spectra of coated nanoparticles. We suggest that these binding sites trap a substantial fraction of holes before the latter descend to surface traps and/or recombine with free electrons. The resulting oxygen hole center rapidly loses a C-H proton to the environment, yielding a metastable, titanium-bound, ketyl radical.

The method is noninvasive, fast, inexpensive and does not require complex sample preparation. It uses coal grains of about 0.8 mm size mounted in standard pellets as used for petrographic studies.Assuming spherical pore geometry, the scattering data are converted into the pore size distribution in the size range 1 nm (10 Å) to 20 μm (200,000 Å) in diameter, accounting for both open and closed pores. FTIR as well as SAXS and SANS data for seven samples of oriented whole coals and corresponding pellets with vitrinite reflectance (Ro) values in the range 0.55% to 5.15% are presented and analyzed. Our results demonstrate that pellets adequately represent the average microstructure of coal samples.The scattering data have been used to calculate the maximum surface area available for methane adsorption. Total porosity as percentage of sample volume is calculated and compared with worldwide trends. By demonstrating the applicability of SAXS and SANS techniques to determine the porosity, pore size distribution and surface area in coals, we provide a new and efficient tool, which can be used for any type of coal sample, from a thin slice to a representative sample of a thick seam.

SN - 00213640 AB - We analyze anew experiments on the NMR in cuprates and find an important information on their phase separation and its strip character hidden in the dependence of 1/63T1 on the degree of doping. In a broad class of materials, 1/63T1 is the sum of two terms: the temperature-independent one attributed to “incommensurate” strips that occur at external doping and a “universal” temperature-dependent term ascribed to moving metallic and antiferromagnetic subphases. We argue that the frustrated first-order phase transition in a broad temperature interval bears a dynamical character. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

First, by combining transfer matrix analysis and Monte Carlo simulations, we determine the equilibrium phase diagrams for candidate LG models with pairwise-additive interactions including nearest-neighbor (NN) exclusion, second NN repulsion, third NN attraction, and possibly fourth NN repulsion. These interactions are selected so as to recover the p(2×2) and c(2×2) ordering observed in experiment. Interaction strengths are assessed by matching simulated and experimental phase diagrams. Second, a kinetic model is constructed to describe dissociative adsorption of molecular oxygen on second NN empty sites (consistent with NN exclusion), as well as subsequent thermally activated surface diffusion, and adlayer formation. Hopping rates for the latter reflect the selected adspecies interactions through detailed-balance constraints. By comparing simulated diffracted intensities for non-equilibrium adlayer structure during adsorption with experimental data for various temperatures and pressures, we demonstrate the existence of transient mobility for dissociative adsorption in this system, and also determine the magnitude of the thermal diffusion barrier.

A comparison of results shows that XPS yields a higher concentration of Ce3+ ions, even after analysis with a core–shell model. Three factors are proposed for the discrepancy between results: surface reduction of ceria in the XPS vacuum chamber enhanced by X-ray radiation, fast reduction dynamics associated with ceria nanoparticles, and a diffuse depth profile of the Ce3+ concentration inside ceria particles. Our results suggest that the high-vacuum XPS studies of ceria have overestimated the Ce3+ concentration in ceria nanoparticles under ambient condition. More importantly, we have demonstrated the importance of using complimentary surface analysis techniques to investigate the valence state of ceria nanoparticles.

DFT calculations are presented for iodine adsorption on Cu(1 1 1), Cu(1 0 0), Cu(2 2 1), Cu(5 3 3), Cu(5 3 1), and Cu(6 4 3). Additional DFT calculations are presented for I adsorption on a stepped Cu surface that mimics a thermally roughened Cu(6 4 3) surface. The molecular desorption of R-3-methylcyclohexanone from clean and iodine precovered Cu(6 4 3) has been used to experimentally examine the location of iodine on this surface. Our results show that there is a strong energetic preference for iodine to adsorb at step edges on Cu surfaces vicinal to Cu(1 1 1) and that when kinks are present in surface steps, iodine prefers to adsorb in the vicinity of these kinks over adsorbing along straight step edges. Thus, the adsorption of atomic iodine can be used to selectively titrate the kink sites on intrinsically chiral Cu surfaces vicinal to Cu(1 1 1).

A Franck–Condon simulation using calculated geometries and force constants of the cation and neutral, and including the effects of Duschinsky rotation, is presented to describe the PIE as a function of photon energy. The simulated PIE is used as a fitting function to estimate the adiabatic ionization potential from the experimental data. The apparent ionization threshold of (10.97±0.03) eV is in excellent agreement with calculated values and is consistent with published bracketing determinations of the proton affinity of NO2.

This effect involves configurations where one elctron is promoted to a 4f orbital and another is dropped to fill the XPS hole; this can be viewed as a frustrated Auger configuration (FAC). The identification of this FAC is a major advance in the understanding of many-body effects in XPS. Its use affects the multiplet splitting and the absolute binding energy; it can also lead to new satellite structure. Furthermore, it is expected to be generally important.

Ion cyclotron resonant azimuthal quadrupolar excitation successfully mass-selects and traps the ions for 10 s for repeated laser interrogation, and establishes that the observed fluorescence is from ions. Electron-induced fluorescence (EIF) emission spectra of the same species were acquired for comparison. Vibrational structure was resolved for both LIF and EIF, and our assignments are consistent with prior literature values in the absence of ion trapping and high magnetic field (3 T). This work represents the first determination of wavelength resolved LIF emission spectra of organic ions in a Penning trap.

The paramagnetic (PM) → antiferromagnetic (AF) transition temperature (Tc) of Pu100-cAmc alloys is calculated by the Monte Carlo technique. By introducing Am into the system, one could lower Tc from ∼548 K (pure Pu) to 372 K (Pu70Am30). We also found that, contrary to pure Pu where this transition destabilizes the δ-phase, Pu3Am compound remains stable in the antiferromagnetic phase that correlates with recent discovery of a Curie–Weiss behavior in Pu100-cAmc system at c≈24 at.%.

The ability to rapidly pattern and write conductive polymers has been identified as one of the target areas for fabrication of organic electronic and optoelectronic devices. The conductive AFM tip can move in a programmed manner and, furthermore, the potential can be held constant, pulsed, square wave, or scanned, triangular wave. The entire procedure is a maskless, one-step process that does not contain any sophisticated steps of patterning and developing.

The sources emit about 108 neutrons per second. The number of ion pairs in the chamber gas volume per incident neutron is derived. While limited in precision because of a large gamma ray background from the PuBe sources, our results are consistent with the expectation that the neutrons interact purely elastically in the chamber gas.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/08/11/ VL - 84 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 2417 EP - 2434 SN - 14786435 AB - Pure aluminium containing about 200 at.ppm Fe in solution is shown to creep about 106 times slower at 200°C than the same aluminium containing a negligible amount of iron in solution. The high creep resistance of the Al-200 at.ppm Fe alloy is attributed to the presence of subgrain boundaries containing iron solute atoms. It is proposed that the opposing stress fields from subgrain boundaries and from the piled-up dislocations during creep are cyclically relaxed, by iron solute diffusion, to allow climb of the lead dislocation in the pile-up. The mechanism is a form of mechanical ratcheting. The model is applied to Al-Fe alloys and correctly predicts that the creep rate is controlled by the rate of iron solute diffusion and by a temperature dependence equal to the activation energy for iron diffusion, namely Qc = 221 kJ mol-1. Basic creep studies on solid-solution alloying with solute atoms that diffuse slowly in the lattice of aluminium (e.g. manganese, chromium, titanium and vanadium) appear worthy of study as a way of enhancing creep strength and of understanding creep mechanisms involving solute-atom-containing subgrain boundaries.

The ratio of these two couplings, which is a function of the H-C-H bond angle in 13C-iodomethane, is, in general, different from that expected from the known molecular structure; solvent-solute interactions in liquid crystalline solutions are responsible for this difference. In thermotropic liquid crystalline solutions, the apparent bond angle deviation (Δθa) increases with decreasing molecular ordering. In contrast, in lyotropic liquid crystals, no significant spectral aberration has been observed. These results indicate a fundamental physicochemical difference between the intermolecular interactions that prevail in thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals.

Binders consisting of homo- or copolymers of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) were examined as well as other fluorinated and non-fluorinated binder materials. The heat evolved by the reactions of these materials was compared to that arising from other exothermic phenomena occurring in charged anodes at elevated temperatures. A matrix of anode material combinations was designed to investigate the role of carbon structure, carbon surface area, state of charge, binder level and presence of electrolyte. The temperature and magnitude of the exothermic reactions were measured up to 375 °C and average enthalpy values were obtained over several duplicate samples to allow good quantitative comparison of the material reactions. The exothermic anode reactions were sensitive to the state of charge and presence of electrolyte. The magnitude of the reactions increased with increasing surface area of the carbon particles. However, similar reaction enthalpies were seen for all binder materials and binder levels.

Anode samples were compressed from 0 to 300 kg/cm2 and cycled in half-cells to study the relations between anode density, SEI formation and anode cyclability. The C/25 formation of the SEI layer was found to depend on the nature of the graphite and the anode density. Compression of the uncoated graphite lead to an increased conductivity, but only slight improvements in the efficiency of the formation process. Compression of the anodes made from the amorphous-carbon-coated graphites greatly improved both the reversible capacity and first-cycle efficiency. In addition, the fraction of the irreversible charge associated with the surface of the graphite increased with compression, from both an increase in the electrolyte contact as well as compression of the amorphous layer. The cyclability of all of the anodes tended to improve with compression. This suggests that it is the improvement in the conductivity of the anode plays more of a role in the improvement in the cyclability than the formation process.

Long-term exposure of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 electrodes produced a dense Li2CO3 coating, approximately 10 nm in thickness that severely reduced both the accessible capacity and the rate at which the electrodes could be cycled. Ex situ X-ray diffraction patterns of cycled electrodes revealed a bimodal distribution of active material in different states of charge. Particle isolation is proposed to contribute to both capacity and power losses, and possible mechanisms related to the formation of Li2CO3 are discussed.

Optimum initial metal ion concentrations in the starting solutions were established. Initial Al3+ concentration in the solution needs to be at least 0.015 M for the LDH formation. From the solutions with initial Al3+ concentration of 0.025 M, higher fractions of Ni2+ and Co2+ could be recovered. Co2+ could be incorporated at various levels without disturbing the LDH structure. LDH structure proved stable once it formed. Cyanate in the LDHs was dominantly N-bonded which contributed to the stability of the structure. Highest specific discharge capacity delivered by a LDH was 336 mAh/g, which was about 30% higher than that by β-Ni(OH)2. LDHs reached their stable capacities at a lower rate than either β-Ni(OH)2 or the interstratified-Ni(OH)2 (α+β). The interstratified sample delivered the highest capacity compared to any of the tested compositions.

In this paper, we are concerned with parallel dynamical systems (PDS) and sequential dynamical systems (SDS) with the OR and NOR functions as local functions. It has been recognized by Barrett, Mortveit and Reidys that SDS with the NOR function are closely related to combinatorial properties of the dependency graphs. We present an evaluation scheme for systems with the OR and NOR functions which can be used to clarify some basic properties of the dynamical systems. We show that for forests that does not contain a single edge the number of orientations equals the number of different OR-SDS.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/08/12/ VL - 430 IS - 7001 M3 - Article SP - 758 EP - 761 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - Systems with a ferroelectric to paraelectric transition in the vicinity of room temperature are useful for devices. Adjusting the ferroelectric transition temperature (Tc) is traditionally accomplished by chemical substitution-as in BaxSr1-xTiO3, the material widely investigated for microwave devices in which the dielectric constant (er) at GHz frequencies is tuned by applying a quasi-static electric field. Heterogeneity associated with chemical substitution in such films, however, can broaden this phase transition by hundreds of degrees, which is detrimental to tunability and microwave device performance. An alternative way to adjust Tc in ferroelectric films is strain. Here we show that epitaxial strain from a newly developed substrate can be harnessed to increase Tc by hundreds of degrees and produce room-temperature ferroelectricity in strontium titanate, a material that is not normally ferroelectric at any temperature. This strain-induced enhancement in Tc is the largest ever reported. Spatially resolved images of the local polarization state reveal a uniformity that far exceeds films tailored by chemical substitution. The high er at room temperature in these films (nearly 7,000 at 10?GHz) and its sharp dependence on electric field are promising for device applications.

The difference between and π0 suppression in intermediate pT is consistent with the observed (K+p)/π enhancement which should disappear at pT>6 GeV/c. The suppression of back-to-back correlations is shown to be directly related to the medium modification of jet fragmentation functions (FF) similar to direct-photon triggered FF''s.

The association constant and the complexation enthalpy and entropy of the (S)-enantiomer increase with increasing pH. For (R)-alprenolol, the binding is endothermic at all pH values.

Here we report measurements of plastic yielding for single crystals of micrometer-sized dimensions for three different types of metals. We find that within the tests, the overall sample dimensions artificially limit the length scales available for plastic processes. The results show dramatic size effects at surprisingly large sample dimensions. These results emphasize that at the micrometer scale, one must define both the external geometry and internal structure to characterize the strength of a material.

Acetylacetone and its fluorinated analogues were studied as neat liquid and as supercritical CO2 solutions at pressures up to 3.1 kbar. The keto form was found to be favored at high pressure and low temperature. The change in partial molar volume and enthalpy between the keto and enol forms was determined for the acetylacetone and trifluoroacetylacetone. Under all conditions studied, only the enol form of hexafluoroacetylacetone was observed. Based on the thermodynamic data obtained, there appears to be no advantage gained in conducting metal extractions at high pressures and low temperatures using acetylacetone or trifluoroacetylacetone.

Miniaturization of SDS-PAGE has attracted significant attention because it offers rapid analysis times, excellent resolution, high throughput, and the potential for integration and automation, as compared to conventional counterparts. The presented on-chip SDS-PAGE technique employed photolithographically patterned, cross- linked gels fabricated in situ in < 20 mm. The effects of sieving gel composition on the migration properties of fluorescently labeled protein standards (ranging in molecular weight from 14.2 to 66 kDa) were quantified, as was the ability of the gels to function as a sieving matrix for biologically relevant species. Ferguson analysis was employed to calculate retardation coefficients and free solution mobilities. In conjunction with fluorescence imaging, the on-chip SDS-PAGE separation mechanism was evaluated in terms of separation performance indexes, as well as limiting behaviors (i.e., free solution mobility, exclusion characteristics). The photolithographically fabricated gels employed for on-chip SDS-PAGE allowed rapid (<30 s) separations of proteins in short separation lengths (4 mm) with efficiencies as high as 4.41 × 105 plates/m. The on-chip SDS-PAGE separations were ∼ 100 times faster than conventional slab gel SDS-PAGE (60 min) and occurred in a fraction of the separation length required by slab gels. The migration behavior of protein standards correlated well with molecular weight and allowed molecular weight determination for interleukin-2, fibroblast growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, and tetanus toxin C-fragment.

Accurate adsorption data were measured by frontal analysis, with a mixture of methanol and water (25% methanol), with no salt, as the mobile phase. The experimental isotherm has at least two inflection points, at concentrations of about 0.2 and 6.0 g/L, respectively. This precludes the modeling of these data with a simple convex-upward isotherm (e.g., Langmuir). The adsorption energy distribution or relationship between the number of sites on the adsorbent surface and the energy of adsorption on these sites was calculated by assuming Moreau isotherm behavior (S-shaped isotherm). This model has never been applied to describe the surface heterogeneity of any RPLC adsorbent. The calculation converged toward a bimodal energy distribution. Accordingly, the bi-Moreau model is the simplest theoretical model accounting for the adsorption data of propranolol from a mobile phase without salt. The complex-overloaded band profiles of propranolol measured in the presence of increasing concentrations of a supporting salt (KCI) in the mobile phase demonstrate that the sante isotherm model applies also under these conditions, as was merely assumed in a previous work. The elution band profiles of propranolol calculated with the bi-Moreau isotherm model for solutions of salts of different natures (CaCl2, CsCl, Na2SO4) in the same mobile phase agree very well with the experimental band profiles.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/08/15/ VL - 76 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 4881 EP - 4887 SN - 00032700 AB - This paper reports the design and ground-based testing of a multiplexed colorimetric solid-phase extraction (MC- SPE) platform for the rapid determination of multiple water quality parameters in a simple set of operational steps. Colorimetric solid-phase extraction (C-SPE) is an analytical platform that combines impregnated colorimetric reagents on a solid-phase extraction membrane and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to quantify trace analytes in water. In extending C-SPE to MC-SPE, a filter holder that incorporates discrete analysis channels and a jig that facilitates the concurrent operation of multiple syringes have been designed, enabling the simultaneous determination of three different measures of water quality. Separate, single-parameter membranes, placed in a read-out cartridge create unique, parameter-specific addresses at the exit of each channel. Following sample exposure, the diffuse reflectance spectrum of each address is collected serially and the Kubelka-Munk function is used to quantify each water quality parameter via calibration curves. Performance evaluations of the MC-SPE platform were conducted using sample pH, silver(I), and nickel- (II). Determinations of silver(I) (0.05-0.5 ppm) and nickel(II) (1.8-5.0 ppm) follow established C-SPE methods on reversed-phase extraction membranes using 5-(p- dimethylaminobenzylidene)rhodanine and dimethyiglyoxime, respectively, as colonimetric reagents. Sample pH (2.5-5.0) is measured using an anion-exchange membrane impregnated with fluorescein. These determinations require ∼120 s to complete using a total sample volume of 3.0 mL. The extension of MC-SPE to the determination of a greater number of analytes and its potential application to space and earth-bound monitoring needs are briefly discussed.

As part of this initiative, we conducted an enclosure experiment in Lake 239 (ON, Canada). Our goal was to follow over time dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) concentrations, after the addition of 200HgCl2, to assess post-depositional Hg dynamics. DGM concentrations reached very high levels in surface waters (up to 6 ng l-1) during the days following the spike. This increase in DGM levels coincided with a decrease in total Hg in the enclosure. Photoreduction rates of Hg were high after spiking (1 ng l-1 h-1) and decreased by two orders of magnitude during the summer, with low rates observed in August (0.01 ng l-1 h-1). These low rates may be caused by photobleaching of dissolved organic carbon. Water-to-air Hg fluxes (evasion) were measured with a flux chamber and modelled using DGM; both methods yielded similar fluxes when using time-averaged DGM values. Together, these results indicate that, under certain conditions, large amounts of newly deposited Hg(II) may be converted to DGM by photochemical processes and lost by evasion across the air/water interface.

For this purpose, both the analytical solution of the model in the Laplace domain and a numerical method were used. There was an excellent agreement between the results given by the two methods. These results are compared to those obtained by moment analysis of the same set of chromatographic profiles and by the determination of the intraparticle diffusion coefficient from the second central moment of these bands. Nearly identical results were obtained with these two independent methods. The values of the intraparticle diffusion coefficient, De, for rubrene in pure methanol was found to be 7.89×10-7 cm2/s by the modeling method and 7.23×10-7 cm2/s by the moment analysis method. These values increase with increasing water concentration, to 1.10×10-6 and 1.24×10-6 cm2/s, respectively, in a 96:4 v/v methanol/water solution and to 1.63×10-6 and 2.38×10-6 cm2/s, respectively, in a 90:10 v/v solution.These results confirm the validity and the consistency of the lumped pore model and the moment analysis theory. They show that both approaches describe correctly the mass transfer kinetics in the particles of packing material during the chromatographic process. Systematic determinations of the intraparticle diffusion coefficient can now be undertaken and the influence of various experimental parameters on this important property of packing materials can be investigated.

Our 42 study sites encompass widely varying climatic and erosional regimes, with mean annual temperatures ranging from 2 to 25 °C, average precipitation ranging from 22 to 420 cm·year-1, and denudation rates ranging from 23 to 755 t·km-2·year-1. Long-term chemical weathering rates range from 0 to 173 t·km-2 year-1, in several cases exceeding the highest granitic weathering rates on record from previous work. Chemical weathering rates are highest at the sites with rapid denudation rates, consistent with strong coupling between rates of chemical weathering and mineral supply from breakdown of rock. A simple empirical relationship based on temperature, precipitation and long-term denudation rates explains 89–95% of the variation in long-term weathering rates across our network of sites. Our analysis shows that, for a given precipitation and temperature, chemical weathering rates increase proportionally with fresh-material supply rates. We refer to this as “supply-limited” weathering, in which fresh material is chemically depleted to roughly the same degree, regardless of its rate of supply from breakdown of rock. The temperature sensitivity of chemical weathering rates is two to four times smaller than what one would expect from laboratory measurements of activation energies for feldspar weathering and previous inter-comparisons of catchment mass-balance data from the field. Our results suggest that climate change feedbacks between temperature and silicate weathering rates may be weaker than previously thought, at least in actively eroding, unglaciated terrain similar to our study sites. To the extent that chemical weathering rates are supply-limited in mountainous landscapes, factors that regulate rates of mineral supply from erosion, such as tectonic uplift, may lead to significant fluctuations in global climate over the long term.

We report the first observation of a nitrate-cancrinite [possibly Na8(K,Cs)(AlSiO4)6(NO3)2·nH2O] extracted from a Hanford tank 241-AP-101 sample that was evaporated to 6, 8, and 10 M NaOH concentrations. The nitrate-cancrinite phase formed spherical aggregates (4 μm in diameter) that consisted of platy hexagonal crystals (≈0.2 μm thick). Cesium-137 was concentrated in these aluminosilicate structures. These phases possessed a morphology identical to that of nitrate-cancrinite synthesized using simulant tests of nonradioactive tank waste, supporting the contention that it is possible to develop nonradioactive artificial sludges. This investigation points to the continued importance of understanding the solubility of NO3-cancrinite and related phases. Knowledge of the detailed structure of actual phases in the tank waste helps with thermodynamic modeling of tank conditions and waste processing.

Using high-sensitivity methods of quantitative gel electrophoresis, electronic imaging, and number average length analysis, we found that two radiosensitive human cell lines (TK6 and WI-L2-NS) accumulated Fpg-oxidized purine clusters and Nth-oxidized pyrimidine clusters but not Nfo-abasic clusters. However, four repair-proficient human lines (MOLT 4, HL-60, WTK1, and 28SC) did not contain significant levels (<5/Gbp) of any cluster type. Cluster levels were independent of p53 status. Measurement of glycosylase levels in 28SC, TK6, and WI-L2-NS cells suggested that depressed hOGG1 and hNth activities in TK6 and WI-L2-NS could be related to oxybase cluster accumulation. Thus, individuals with DNA repair enzyme deficiencies could accumulate potentially cytotoxic and mutagenic clustered DNA damages. The absence of Nfo-detected endogenous clusters in any cells examined suggests that abasic clusters could be a signature of cellular ionizing radiation exposure.

This article describes an investigation of the reactor characteristics and catalytic efficiency of a kilowatt-scale catalytic autothermal reformer currently being developed at Argonne National Laboratory. Dodecane and hexadecane were used individually as surrogates for diesel fuels to simply the reaction study and the interpretation of the test results. The reforming of these hydrocarbon fuels was examined at a variety of oxygen-to-carbon and steam-to-carbon ratios at gas hourly space velocities ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 h−1. At steady state, the product composition correlated well with that calculated from thermodynamic equilibrium at a representative equivalent temperature. The oxygen-to-carbon ratio was determined to be the most significant operating parameter that influenced the reforming efficiency; the reforming efficiency (and the selectivity to COx) increased with increasing oxygen-to-carbon ratio up to about 0.42, at which value the maximum efficiency was attained.

Autothermal processes combine exothermic and endothermic reactions. The processes considered here couple endothermic steam reforming with exothermic oxidation to create hydrogen-rich fuel-cell feeds. Of the fuels treated here, methanol, ethanol, and dimethyl ether are pure compounds. Methane simulates natural gas and a mixture of 7% neopentane, 56% 2,4 dimethyl pentane, 7% cyclohexane, 30% ethyl benzene simulates gasoline. In the computations, sufficient oxygen is fed so the energy generated by the oxidation exactly compensates the energy absorbed by the reforming reactions. The analyses calculate equilibrium product concentrations at temperatures from 300 to 1000 K, pressures from 1 to 5 atm, and water–fuel ratios from 1 to 9 times the stoichiometric value. The thermodynamic calculations in this work say that any of the five fuels, when processed autothermally, can give a product leading to a hydrogen-rich feed for fuel cells. The calculations also show that the oxygen-containing substances (methanol, ethanol, and dimethyl ether) require lower temperatures for effective processing than the non-oxygenated fuels (natural gas and gasoline). Lower reaction temperatures also promote products containing less carbon monoxide, a desirable effect. The presence of significant product CO mandates the choice of optimum conditions, not necessarily conditions that produce the maximum product hydrogen content. Using a simple optimum objective function shows that dimethyl ether has the greatest potential product content, followed by methanol, ethanol, gasoline, and natural gas. The calculations point the way toward rational choices of processes for producing fuel-cell feeds of the necessary quality.

Similar discharges sustained in the two ICPs show significantly different species. The spectra of the 0.46 MHz hemispherical ICP suggest nearly pure Ar/SF6 discharges. The spectra of the 13.56 MHz planar ICP reveal many species containing silicon and oxygen, from etching of the quartz dielectric. Etch rate measurements support these observations.

Using both transient and steady-state vapor permeation measurements combined with classical Fickian diffusion models, we determine the mechanism of vapor permeation through such barrier structures and show that results obtained to date are limited not by equilibrium diffusion but by lag-time effects caused by the extremely long effective path length for the diffusing gas. The implications for further improvement of flexible thin-film vapor barriers are discussed.

Measurement tool requirements will become more stringent as the feature size approaches 50 nm and tolerances of pattern shape will reach a few nanometers. A small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) based technique has been demonstrated to have the capability of characterizing the average pitch size and pattern width to subnanometer precision. In this study, we report a simple, modeling-free protocol to extract cross-section information such as the average sidewall angle and the pattern height of line grating patterns from the SAXS data. Diffraction peak intensities and reciprocal space positions are measured while the sample is rotated around the axis perpendicular to the grating direction. Linear extrapolations of peak positions in reciprocal space allow a precise determination of both the sidewall angle and the pattern height.

Two VN diffusion paths were identified: a perpendicular path producing movement perpendicular to the c axis and a diagonal path producing movement both perpendicular and parallel to the c axis. The VN charge state was found to strongly influence the diffusion activation energies, which range from 2.49 eV for VN+3 to 3.55 eV for VN+1 along the perpendicular path and from 2.65 eV for VN+3 to 3.96 eV for VN+1 along the diagonal path. Two bound MgGaVN configurations were identified: a parallel configuration with VN located next to MgGa and along the c axis from it, and a perpendicular configuration with VN located next to MgGa and transverse to the c axis from it. The binding energies range from 0.29 to 0.58 eV, depending on the MgGaVN configuration and charge state. The results were used to evaluate a recently proposed atomistic process [ S. Hautakangas, J. Oila, M. Alatalo, and K. Saarinen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 137402 (2003) ], which involves MgGaVN dissociation and VN diffusion in wurtzite GaN.

Since this geometry is also ideal for magnetic characterization of the superconducting properties with the field parallel to the tube axis, a system of concentric shells with varying tin content was used to simulate the superconducting properties, the overall severity of the Sn composition gradient being defined by an index N. Using well-known scaling relationships and property trends developed in an earlier experimental study, the critical current density for each shell was calculated, and from this the magnetic moment of each shell was found. By summing these moments, experimentally measured properties such as pinning-force curves and Kramer plots could be simulated. We found that different tin profiles have only a minor effect on the shape of Kramer plots, but a pronounced effect on the irreversibility fields defined by the extrapolation of Kramer plots. In fact, these extrapolated values HK are very close to a weighted average of the superconducting properties across the layer for all N. The difference between HK and the upper critical field commonly seen in experiments is a direct consequence of the different ways measurements probe the simulated Sn gradients. Sn gradients were found to be significantly deleterious to the critical current density Jc, since reductions to both the elementary pinning force and the flux pinning scaling field HK compound the reduction in Jc. The simulations show that significant gains in Jc of Nb3Sn strands might be realized by circumventing strong compositional gradients of tin.

In this paper, we present a theoretical study which shows how to increase the refrigerant capacity using anisotropic materials. We examine some of the well-known Laves phase compounds that can be described by a Hamiltonian which includes second order and spin reorientation effects. Our results indicate that in some cases it is theoretically possible to increase cooling capacity by up to ∼65%.

Different seeding processes were employed to enhance the initial nucleation density for UNCD growth to about 1011 sites/cm2. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, visible and ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the bonding structure as a function of growth temperature. The results showed that the growth of UNCD films is much less dependent on substrate temperature than for hydrogen-based CH4/H2 plasmas. UNCD with nearly the same nanoscale structure as those characteristic of high-temperature deposition can be grown at temperatures as low as 400 °C with growth rates of about 0.2 μm/hr. The average grain size increased to about 8 nm from 3 to 5 nm that is characteristic of high-temperature growth, but the relative amounts of sp3 and sp2 bonding remained unchanged. These results suggest that the activation energy for UNCD growth is about 2–3 Kcal/mole compared with ∼28 kcal/mole for traditional growth chemistries, and that hydrogen plays an important role in the growth of UNCD films using hydrogen-poor plasmas.

The sample monoliths were prepared with PSi-derived nanoclusters (PSi-n) with average diameters of 14–45 nm. Concentrated samples of PSi-n-exhibited blueshifted orange emission bands with maximum peaks between 600 and 750 nm with PL emission intensities ten times stronger than those of the original PSi, while diluted samples exhibited UV to blue (350–450 nm) emission bands. The PL quantum yield of the typical PSi-n monoliths was 44% higher than the native PSi. Light absorption measurements showed a linear response to laser powers before the saturation threshold at 80 mW. PL bleaching following 3 h of constant laser power exposure resulted in 90% reduction of the maximum initial PL. Mechanical and thermal stability properties of nc-Si were greatly improved within the silica matrix, demonstrating that PSi-n monoliths’ are more manageable materials that enable the fabrication of samples with high densities of nc-Si for semiconducting and optoelectronic purposes. No special chemical passivation of the nc-Si surfaces was used in the preparation of the PSi-n monoliths. A strong relation between the optical properties of this nanophase material and the size distribution and concentration of nc-Si in the sample is demonstrated.

The derivative is efficiently computed as an inner product between compressed forms of the density and the differentiated nuclear potential through the Hellmann–Feynman theorem. A smoothed nuclear potential is directly differentiated, and the smoothing parameter required for a given accuracy is empirically determined from calculations on six homonuclear diatomic molecules. The derivatives of N2 molecule are shown using multiresolution calculation for various accuracies with comparison to correlation consistent Gaussian-type basis sets. The optimized geometries of several molecules are presented using Hartree–Fock and density functional theory. A highly precise Hartree–Fock optimization for the H2O molecule produced six digits for the geometric parameters. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This approach exploits the approximate decoupling of molecular energetics in a curvilinear internal coordinate system, allowing separation of the 3N-dimensional optimization problem into an O(N) set of quasi-independent one-dimensional problems. Each uncoupled optimization is developed by a weighted least squares fit of energy gradients in the internal coordinate system followed by extrapolation. In construction of the weights, only an implicit dependence on topologically connected internal coordinates is present. This new approach is competitive with the best internal coordinate geometry optimization algorithms in the literature and works well for large biological problems with complicated hydrogen bond networks and ligand binding motifs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

To this end, an adiabatic model in the molecular stretching coordinate is assumed and the ground energy levels of the complexes are searched by means of Hartree (or Hartree-Fock) Quantum Chemistry calculations for 4He (or 3He) solvent atoms. Simulations of vib-rotational Raman spectra point at the spin multiplicity as the main feature responsible for the drastic difference in the rotational structures of molecules embedded in boson or fermion helium drops as already observed by the experiments of Grebenev et al.

The band gap of epitaxial InN has been recently reported to be around 0.7 eV rather than the previously accepted value of 1.9 eV obtained from polycrystalline films. Thus, InN could be a promising material for applications in infrared opto-electronics or high-speed electronics. However, the structural quality of the InN epilayers is still inferior to GaN and needs to be improved. Also, the role of many contaminants in InN and their effect on the epilayer''s conductivity and/or luminescence properties is still under investigation.This work describes recent studies of InN growth by molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire (0 0 0 1) substrates. The effect of buffer layer variations including a prior substrate nitridation step is discussed. Structural properties (X-ray diffraction, AFM and TEM images) and chemical profiles (SIMS) will be correlated to Hall data and Photo-luminescence spectra. The role of oxygen and hydrogen as possible donors in InN will be discussed.

The band gap of InN is determined to be 0.7 eV by optical absorption, photoluminescence, and photo-modulated reflectance. The band gap exhibits weaker temperature and pressure dependencies than those of GaN and AlN. The narrow band gap leads to a strong k·p interaction, resulting in a non-parabolic conduction band, which is studied by the free electron concentration dependence of the electron effective mass. Highly n-type InN exhibits a large Burstein-Moss shift in the optical absorption edge; this effect may be responsible for the 1.9 eV band gap reported previously for some degenerately doped InN films. The band gap bowing parameters of the InGaN and InAlN alloy systems are determined. The band offset of InN with other group III-nitrides is presented and its effect on p-type doping is discussed.

There were no discernible sequence changes likely to cause attenuation. CCR2-V641, an immunogenetic polymorphism linked to LTSs, was detected in 4 women, all of whom carried the HLA B58 allele. Further investigation of 99 HIV-I-infected Nairobi women found an association between CCR2-V641 and HLA B58 (P = .0048). Studying the interaction among immunogenetics, immune responses, and viral sequences from all HIV- 1 subtypes may increase our understanding of slow HIV-1 disease progression.

The magnetization vector was found to rotate coherently out-of-plane by an angle α during the magnetization reversal for a substantial part of the hysteresis cycle. However α differs between the surface-facing and the substrate-facing sides of the film, with the more oxidized surface layer following closely the applied field. Close to M≈0 the film breaks down magnetically into a collage of small domains, reflecting the crystalline microstructure of the material.

SN - 00222461 AB - The macro-texture was related to the nano-platelets formed during the rolling deformation of a Co-Ni-Cr-Mo alloy (MP35N) with low stacking fault energy. The deformed materials showed {011}(533) texture but also had {011}(211) and {011}(100) texture components. The {011}(533) component reached the maximum at 74% reduction-in-area. Further deformation of the material to 80% decreased the intensity of the {011}(533) component. The cold deformation introduced platelets of a few atomic layer in thickness and less than 100 nm in diameters. The habit planes of the platelets were identified to be {111}, which were perpendicular to both the rolling and {011} crystallographic plane. Therefore, the tensile strain in the rolling direction assisted formation of the platelets, which were identified as stacking faults. A high density of nano-platelets and dislocations strengthened materials and influenced the plastic deformation behaviors and texture evolution. Thus, the MP35N developed slightly different textures from other low stacking fault energy materials. The maximum at {011}(533) was related the nanoplatelets and stacking fault energy. The {011}(112) and {110}(001)components could be linked to the low stacking fault energy.

Jung et al., Nature 418:144, 2002). However, the mechanisms that lead to such extensive multiple infections are not understood. Here, we find by using mathematical analysis that two mechanisms quantitatively capture the distribution of proviral genomes in HIV-1-infected splenocytes, one where multiple genomes are acquired one at a time in a series of sequential infectious contacts of a target cell with free virions and infected cells, and the other where cell-to-cell transmission of multiple virions or genomes results from a single infectious contact of a target cell with an infected cell. The two mechanisms imply different genetic diversities of proviruses within an infected cell and therefore different rates of emergence of drug resistance via recombination.

The location of the recirculation zones, the oblique shocks and the Mach disks were analyzed for this type of closed-coupled gas atomization nozzle. The stagnation pressures located downstream of the Mach disk, in closed-wake condition, were found to be approximately twice as high as the stagnation pressure in an open-wake condition at a slightly lower atomization gas pressure. The turbulence model utilized within the CFD calculation scheme appeared to be inadequate for calculating aspiration pressure just below wake-closure pressure when the recirculation zone is extremely long and narrow. However, overall, the CFD calculation correlated well with the experimental results, showing that the aspiration pressure progressively lowers as operation pressure increases in open-wake condition, and rises as operation pressure increases in closed-wake condition.

The technique is appropriate where the unknown mass is the most neutron-rich isobaric constituent of the beam, such as for neutron-rich fission fragments.

Because AMS analysis of the relative abundance of actinide isotopes involves comparing detected counts that each correspond to a relatively rarely occurring isotope, error analysis is complicated by correlations between isotope-specific counts and by isotope-specific dead times, that affect each pair of isotope-specific counts. A new method of error analysis described here was developed specifically to estimate and characterize error in AMS measures of actinide isotope ratios. The method models a series of detected pairs of isotope counts as correlated compound-binomial (censored trinomial contingency) data, provides an approximately unbiased moment-method estimator of a common isotopic proportion (or ratio) corresponding to any data-pair series, and provides a corresponding homogeneity test for isotopic proportions observed within any data-pair series. Applications of this method to AMS measures of the relative abundance of plutonium isotopes, in samples analyzed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Center for AMS, revealed that observed measurement errors were nearly all attributable to modeled counting errors.

Co-precipitation offers a rapid alternative to grinding and mixing Be and Al oxides with Ag or Cu powder, and ensures that Al and Be oxide grains produced by baking are uniformly dispersed in the conductive Ag matrix. Co-precipitated aggregates are bulkier than pure oxides and require little or no grinding, hence samples containing significantly less than 250 μg of 9Be can be manipulated and analysed, increasing the efficiency of 10Be measurements. Binding BeO with Ag reduces the chance of hazardous BeO dust escaping during sample preparation. Although ion currents from co-precipitated Ag–BeO cathodes are lower than from mixed Nb–BeO, savings in preparation time may offset longer analysis times.

This AMS system is centered on a recently completed heavy isotope beam line that was designed particularly for high sensitivity, robust, high throughput measurements of actinide concentrations and isotopic ratios. A fast-isotope switching capability has been incorporated in the system, allowing flexibility in isotope selection and for the quasi-continuous normalization to a reference isotope spike.Initially, our utilization of the heavy isotope system has concentrated on the measurement of Pu isotopes. Under current operating conditions, background levels equivalent to ∼1 × 105 atoms are observed during routine 239Pu and 240Pu measurements. Measurements of samples containing ∼1013238U atoms demonstrate that the system provides a 238U rejection factor during 239Pu measurements of ∼107. Measurements of known materials, combined with results from an externally organized intercomparison program, indicate that our 239Pu measurements are accurate and precise down to the μBq level (∼106 atoms). Recently, we have investigated the performance of our heavy isotope AMS system in measurements of 237Np and 236U. Results of these investigations are discussed. The sensitivity shown by our Pu measurements, combined with the high throughput and interference rejection capabilities of our AMS system, demonstrate that AMS can provide a rapid and cost-effective measurement technique for actinides in a wide variety of studies.

While measurements of particulate matter (PM), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) are routine, determining the contribution of carbon atoms in the original fuel molecules to the formation of these undesired exhaust emissions has proven difficult. Renewable bio-derived fuels (ethanol or bio-diesel) containing a universal distribution of contemporary carbon are easily traced by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). These measurements provide general information about the emissions of bio-derived fuels. Another approach exploits synthetic organic chemistry to place 14C atoms in a specific bond position in a specific fuel molecule. The highly labeled fuel molecule is then diluted in 14C-free petroleum-derived stock to make a contemporary petroleum fuel suitable for tracing. The specific 14C atoms are then traced through the combustion event to determine whether they reside in PM, HC, CO, CO2, or other emission products. This knowledge of how specific molecular structures produce certain emissions can be used to refine chemical-kinetic combustion models and to optimize fuel composition to reduce undesired emissions. Due to the high sensitivity of the technique and the lack of appreciable 14C in fossil fuels, fuels for AMS experiments can be labeled with modern levels of 14C and still produce a strong signal. Since the fuel is not radioactive, emission tests can be conducted in any conventional engine lab, dynamometer facility, or on the open road.

An implementation of Bayes formula is described to calculate such probabilities. In the context of a simple model with multimodal statistics, it is shown that the conditional statistics succeed in tracking mode transitions where some standard suboptimal estimators fail. However, in complex models the exact conditional probabilities cannot be practically calculated. Instead, approximations to the conditional statistics must be sought. In this paper, attention is focused on approximations to the analysis step arising from the conditioning on observational data. A suboptimal mean-field conditional analysis is obtained from a statistical mechanics of time-histories. It is shown to have a variational formulation, reducing the approximate calculation of the conditional statistics to the minimization of the “effective action”, a convex cost function. This mean-field analysis is compared with a standard linear analysis, based on a Kalman gain matrix. In the simple model problem, the mean-field conditional analysis is shown to approximate well the exact conditional statistics.

This map includes 544 markers mapped onto 19 linkage groups, equivalent to the Populus chromosome number, with all markers displaying internally consistent linkage patterns. We estimate the genome length to be between 2,300 and 2,500 cM, based both on the observed number of crossovers in the maternal haplotypes, as well as the total observed map length. Genome coverage was estimated to be greater than 99.9% at 20 cM per marker. We did not detect obvious recombination repression in the maternal tree (a hybrid of Populus trichocarpa Hooker × P. deltoides Marsh.) compared to the paternal tree (pure P. deltoides). Finally, most markers exhibiting segregation distortion were derived from the donor parent in this backcross, and generally occurred in large contiguous blocks on two linkage groups. We hypothesize that divergent selection has occurred on chromosomal scales among the parental species used to create this pedigree, and explore the evolutionary implications of this observation. This genetic linkage map provides the most comprehensive view of the Populus genome reported to date and will prove invaluable for future inquiries into the structural and functional genomics, evolutionary biology, and genetic improvement of this ecologically important model species.

The method enabled the measurement of strain for all the available reflections permitted by the rolling texture of the plate and the modified texture in the weld-metal and heat affected zone. A maximum longitudinal stress of 220 ± 40 MPa was observed in the weld compared with the 0.2% yield stress of 390 MPa of the plate. A maximum transverse stress of 60 ± 40 MPa was observed in the weld. Textures were measured at the HIPPO diffractometer.

Cold rolled (82%) titanium shows a typical rolling texture with two components in the {0 0 0 2} pole figure, which remains after recrystallization and subsequent grain growth. The annealing of titanium sheet samples in the hexagonal phase field (750 °C) in a magnetic field of 19.4 T with the sheet normal parallel or perpendicular to the field direction does not change the final texture. In contrast, the same thermo-magnetic treatment results in a distinct difference between usually symmetrical texture peaks when the sample is tilted by +30° or -30° to the magnetic field direction around the rolling direction leading to a configuration where the c (〈0 0 0 1〉) axis of grains corresponding to one texture component is aligned normal to the magnetic field direction. This observation is attributed to grain growth affected by an additional driving force arising in a magnetic field by the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility of titanium.

The delay- or transient-time results, based on different cases and different incoming wave angles, show that the diffracted beam is trapped at the interface. This delay time is longer for the negative refractive index photonic crystal and is almost twice the duration of the delay time for the positive one. For the homogeneous medium, we also find that at the interface between a right- and left-handed medium the delay time is even longer than in the photonic crystal case. A comparison between left-handed behavior in photonic crystals and homogeneous media is reported.

The as-deposited films are amorphous, and they exhibit high n-type electrical conductivity, which is believed to stem from the conduction electrons donated by Al, Mg, and/or Fe impurities in these films. The film deposited at 573 K is less conductive than the room-temperature-deposited film. This is attributed to the nature of donor or trap states in the band gap related to the different deposition temperatures.

Scanning electron microscopy images show that the implanted ZnO tips are much sharper than the as-grown ones. The sharpening effect of the ZnO nanotips is attributed to the interplay between ion sputtering and ion-induced surface diffusion. X-ray diffraction indicates that ZnO crystallinity was preserved during implantation. Photoluminescence measurements show development of a broad blue band and severe UV quenching upon ion bombardment, and partial recovery after annealing. X-ray absorption spectroscopy is consistent with Fe ions that are substitutional for Zn in the ZnO wurtzite lattice.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/08/16/ VL - 108 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 12990 EP - 12998 SN - 15206106 AB - A series of first principles molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations were carried out for liquid water to investigate the reproducibility of different sampling approaches. These simulations include Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations using the program cpmd with different values of the fictitious electron mass in the microcanonical and canonical ensembles, Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics using the programs cpmd and cp2k in the microcanonical ensemble, and Metropolis Monte Carlo using cp2k in the canonical ensemble. With the exception of one simulation for 128 water molecules, all other simulations were carried out for systems consisting of 64 molecules. Although the simulations yield somewhat fortuitous agreement in structural properties, analysis of other properties demonstrate that one should exercise caution when assuming the reproducibility of Car-Parrinello and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations for small system sizes in the microcanonical ensemble. In contrast, the molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations in the canonical ensemble appear to be more reliable. Furthermore, in the case of canonical Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations the application of Nosé-Hoover chain thermostats allows the use of larger fictitious electron masses. For the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr exchange and correlation energy functionals and norm-conserving Troullier-Martins or Goedecker-Teter-Hutter pseudopotentials, these simulations at a fixed density of 1.0 g/cm3 and a temperature close to 315 K point to an overstructured liquid with a height of the first peak in the oxygen-oxygen radial distribution function of about 3.0, an underestimated value of the classical constant-volume heat capacity of about 70 J/(mol K), and an underestimated self-diffusion constant of about 0.04 Å2/ps.

Stokes flow of viscous fluid provides a relation between normal velocity and pressure at interface. Surface elevation and velocity potential of ideal fluid are determined from two complex Burgers equations corresponding to analytical continuation of velocity potential at the interface into upper and lower complex half planes, respectively. The interface loses its smoothness if complex singularities (poles) reach the interface.

The bremsstrahlung losses are then smaller, so that the nuclear burning of an aneutronic fuel is more efficient. Consequently, there occurs a parameter regime in which self-burning is possible. Practical obstacles in this regime that must be overcome before net energy can be realized include the compression of the fuel to an ultra dense state and the creation of a hot spot.

Geophys. Res. 91 (B 9) (1986) 9222]. Most experimental data on its stability pertain to low pressures (<10 GPa) and temperatures. We studied the reaction of iron with brucite (water) at pressures 75 GPa and temperatures of ∼2000 K using the double-side laser-heated diamond-anvil cell. A high-pressure phase of magnetite (Fe3O4) (orthorhombic) and iron hydride (double hcp) were found to exist stably under these conditions. The results indicate that at pressures corresponding to the earth’s lower mantle, the hydride phase is stable, and that orthorhombic high-magnetite (h-Fe3O4) may also be stabilized in lieu of or in addition to magnesiowuestite. The stability of these phases open up the possibility that water (as a component of a fluid phase or hydrous solids) may be present not only in the mantle but also in the core (as dissolved hydride and oxide), which helps melting and dynamic movements. The core may have been the reservoir of oceans of fluid. A percent of water (by weight) in the core is equivalent to about 10 times the water in all the oceans. The dissolved water components in the core would depress the melting temperature of iron (or iron–nickel alloy) significantly, reduce the density and effectively promote convection.

In order to test the validity of this experimental model, we have synthesized an oligopeptide that was designed to conform to this model and to self-assemble into an α-helical fibril in which the structural sub-units that comprise the fibril corresponded to coiled coil dimers. Peptide was prepared via conventional solid-phase peptide synthesis and was composed of 42 amino acid residues such that the sequence defined six distinct heptad repeats of a coiled coil structure. The sequence of was designed to adopt an α-helical conformation in which the helical protomers self-associate in a parallel orientation with a staggered orientation between adjacent peptides that corresponded to an axial displacement of three heptads. The self-assembly of peptide was examined at varying levels of structural hierarchy for compliance of the observed structures with the experimental model. Circular dichroism spectroscopy provided evidence for an α-helical coiled coil structure for in aqueous solution, which could be reversibly denatured through thermal methods. TEM measurements indicated the formation of long aspect-ratio fibers of uniform diameter from aqueous solutions of , however the dimensions of the fibers suggested that lateral association occurred between the fibrils corresponding to the 2-stranded helical bundles. The α-helical coiled coil structure was confirmed in the solid-state for fibers derived from self-assembly of by a combination of wide-angle X-ray diffraction and 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. SANS and synchrotron SAXS measurements on dilute aqueous solutions of provided a fibril diameter that corresponded to the lateral dimensions estimated for a dimeric coiled coil assembly on the basis of structural determinations of model peptides.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/08/18/ VL - 126 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 9946 EP - 9959 SN - 00027863 AB - Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) was used to collect Mn K pre-edge spectra and to study the electronic structure in oxides, molecular coordination complexes, as well as the S1 and S2 states of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PS Il). The RIXS data yield two-dimensional plots that can be interpreted along the incident (absorption) energy or the energy transfer axis. The second energy dimension separates the pre-edge (predominantly is to 3d transitions) from the main K-edge, and a detailed analysis is thus possible. The 1s2p RIXS final-state electron configuration along the energy transfer axis is identical to conventional L-edge absorption spectroscopy, and the RIXS spectra are therefore sensitive to the Mn spin state. This new technique thus yields information on the electronic structure that is not accessible in conventional K-edge absorption spectroscopy. The line splittings can be understood within a ligand field multiplet model, i.e., (3d,3d) and (2p,3d) two-electron interactions are crucial to describe the spectral shapes in all systems. We propose to explain the shift of the K pre-edge absorption energy upon Mn oxidation in terms of the effective number of 3d electrons (fractional 3d orbital population). The spectral changes in the Mn 1s2p3/2 RIXS spectra between the PS II S1 and S2 states are small compared to that of the oxides and two of the coordination complexes (Mn111(acac) 3 and MnIV(sal) 2(bipy)). We conclude that the electron in the step from S1 to S2 is transferred from a strongly delocalized orbital.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/08/18/ VL - 126 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 10130 EP - 10141 SN - 00027863 AB - The electrooxidation of CO has been studied on reconstructed gold single-crystal surfaces by a combination of electrochemical (EC) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (1RAS) measurements. Emphasis is placed on relating the vibrational properties of the CO adlayer to the voltammetric and other macroscopic electrochemical responses, including rotating disk electrode measurements of the catalytic activity. The IRAS data show that the C-O stretching frequencies are strongly dependent on the surface orientation and can be observed in the range 1940-1990 cm-1 for the 3-fold bridging, 2005-2070 cm-1 for the 2-fold bridging, and 2115-2140 for the terminal position. The most complex CO spectra are found for the Au(110)-(1 × 2) surface, i.e., a band near 1965 cm-1, with the second, weaker band shifted positively by about 45 cm-1, and, finally, a weak band near 2115 cm-1. While the C-O stretching frequencies for a CO adlayer adsorbed on Au(111)-(1 × 23) show ccq bands at 2029-2069 cm-1 and at 1944-1986 cm-1, on the Au(100)-"hex" surface a single CO band is observed at 2004-2029 cm-1. In the "argon-purged" solution, the terminal vco band on Au(110)-(1×2) and the 3-fold bridging band on the Au(111)-(1 × 23) disappear entirely. The IRAS/EC data show that the kinetics of CO oxidation are structure sensitive; i.e., the onset of CO oxidation increases in the order Au(110)-(1 × 2) ≥ Au(100)-"hex" > Au(111)-(1 × 23). Possible explanations for the structure sensitivity are discussed.

The cell-surface repertoire can be expanded to include abiotic functionality through the biosynthetic introduction of unnatural sugars into cellular glycans, a process termed metabolic oligosaccharide engineering. This technique has been exploited in fundamental studies of glycan-dependent cell-cell and virus-cell interactions and also provides an avenue for the chemical remodelling of living cells. Unique chemical functional groups can be delivered to cell-surface glycans by metabolism of the corresponding unnatural precursor sugars. These functional groups can then undergo covalent reaction with exogenous agents bearing complementary functionality. The exquisite chemical selectivity required of this process is supplied by the Staudinger ligation of azides and phosphines, a reaction that has been performed on cultured cells without detriment to their physiology. Here we demonstrate that the Staudinger ligation can be executed in living animals, enabling the chemical modification of cells within their native environment. The ability to tag cell-surface glycans in vivo may enable therapeutic targeting and non-invasive imaging of changes in glycosylation during disease progression.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/08/19/ VL - 430 IS - 7002 M3 - Article SP - 913 EP - 917 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - To maintain chromosome stability in eukaryotic cells, replication origins must be licensed by loading mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM2-7) complexes once and only once per cell cycle. This licensing control is achieved through the activities of geminin and cyclin-dependent kinases. Geminin binds tightly to Cdt1, an essential component of the replication licensing system, and prevents the inappropriate reinitiation of replication on an already fired origin. The inhibitory effect of geminin is thought to prevent the interaction between Cdt1 and the MCM helicase. Here we describe the crystal structure of the mouse geminin-Cdt1 complex using tGeminin (residues 79-157, truncated geminin) and tCdt1 (residues 172-368, truncated Cdt1). The amino-terminal region of a coiled-coil dimer of tGeminin interacts with both N-terminal and carboxy-terminal parts of tCdt1. The primary interface relies on the steric complementarity between the tGeminin dimer and the hydrophobic face of the two short N-terminal helices of tCdt1 and, in particular, Pro 181, Ala 182, Tyr 183, Phe 186 and Leu 189. The crystal structure, in conjunction with our biochemical data, indicates that the N-terminal region of tGeminin might be required to anchor tCdt1, and the C-terminal region of tGeminin prevents access of the MCM complex to tCdt1 through steric hindrance.

The specifically targeted element type is derived from the two-field (displacement and generalized stress) form of this principle. Momentum balance and strain compatibility are expressed in a weak-form, and the constitutive equations are satisfied directly at each integration point (i.e., section) along the element length. A specific formulation of one element of this type is presented in a companion paper. Interelement compatibility is not enforced in the dual (stress resultant) variables for this element, and thus various state determination algorithms can be formulated at the local (i.e., element and section) levels. Four state determination algorithms, referred to as the L–L, L–N, N–L and N–N procedures, are considered. The first symbol in these names indicates the element level and the second denotes the section level. Furthermore, the symbol N indicates that local nonlinear iteration is performed prior to returning to the higher level, whereas the symbol L indicates that only the linearized equations are satisfied at the corresponding local level. The L–L algorithm corresponds to conventional Newton iteration on both the element and section levels, whereas the N–N algorithm entails the iterative satisfaction of the nonlinear element compatibility and section constitutive equations for each global iteration. The performance of these algorithms is evaluated and compared. It is found that the algorithms in which the local nonlinear strain–displacement compatibility conditions are solved iteratively at the element level for every global iteration lead to fewer global iterations at the expense of iterations at the element level. In particular, the N–N algorithm, is overall the most efficient of the four algorithms for the problems tested. Also, the N–N algorithm has substantially smaller element storage requirements. The N–N algorithm is expected to be particularly advantageous for cases in which a large number of elements remain elastic and inelasticity is concentrated in a few elements.

In this paper, we combine this development with results from the theory of current-algebraic orbifolds to find the open-string description of a corresponding basic class of twisted open WZW strings, which begin and end on different WZW branes. The basic class of twisted open WZW strings is in 1-to-1 correspondence with the twisted sectors of all closed-string WZW orbifolds, and moreover, the basic class can be decomposed into a large collection of open-string WZW orbifolds. At the classical level, these open-string orbifolds exhibit new twisted noncommutative geometries, and we also find the relevant twisted open-string KZ equations which describe these orbifolds at the quantum level. In a related development, we also formulate the closed-string description (in terms of twisted boundary states) of the general twisted open WZW string.

Our research demonstrates strong relations between NDVI and ground-based measurements of productivity for forest trees in the central Great Plains. Standardized tree ring width, diameter increase and seed production all are strongly correlated with integrated NDVI of the same growing season. Tree height growth for a given year corresponds with integrated NDVI of the previous year, i.e. a one-year lag. Variation in foliage production, as measured by litterfall, generally corresponds with variation in NDVI, but not as distinctly as do other tree productivity measures. Although foliage production is best correlated with NDVI integrated over the entire growing season, most tree productivity measurements are best correlated with NDVI integrated over the early growing season. All tree productivity measures, except foliage production, are better related to NDVI averaged over an intermediate spatial scale (7×7 pixels, ∼50 km 2 ), rather than just local NDVI (1 pixel, 1.2 km 2 ). Overall, NDVI is an excellent predictor of annual tree productivity.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/08/20/ VL - 279 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 35867 EP - 35878 SN - 00219258 AB - The primary sequence of the N-terminal somatomedin B (SMB) domain of native vitronectin contains 44 amino acids, including a framework of four disulfide bonds formed by 8 closely spaced cysteines in sequence patterns similar to those found in the cystine knot family of proteins. The SMB domain of vitronectin was isolated by digesting the protein with endoproteinase Glu-C and purifying the N-terminal 1–55 peptide by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Through a combination of techniques, including stepwise reduction and alkylation at acidic pH, peptide mapping with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry and NMR, the disulfide bonds contained in the SMB domain have been determined to be Cys5:Cys9, Cys19:Cys31, Cys21:Cys32, and Cys25:Cys39. This pattern of disulfides differs from two other connectivities that have been reported previously for recombinant forms of the SMB domain expressed in Escherichia coli. This arrangement of disulfide bonds in the SMB domain from native vitronectin forms a rigid core around the Cys19: Cys31 and Cys21:Cys32 disulfides. A small positively charged loop is created at the N terminus by the Cys5: Cys9 cystine. The most prominent feature of this disulfide-bonding pattern is a loop between Cys25 and Cys39 similar to cystine-stabilized α-helical structures commonly observed in cystine knots. This α-helix has been confirmed in the solution structure determined for this domain using NMR (Mayasundari, A., Whittemore, N. A., Serpersu, E. H., and Peterson, C. B. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 29359–29366). It confers function on the SMB domain, comprising the site for binding to plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 and the urokinase receptor.

The same experiments were repeated on a Kromasil-C18 column to compare the adsorption behavior of this ionic compound on these three different RPLC systems. The adsorption data of propranolol hydrochloride were first measured by frontal analysis (FA) using a mobile phase without salt. These data fit best to the Bi-Moreau model. Large concentration band profiles of propranolol were recorded with mobile phases containing increasing KCl concentrations (0, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 M) and the best values of the isotherm coefficients were determined using the numerical solution of the inverse problem of chromatography. The general effect of a dissociated salt in the mobile phase was the same as the one observed earlier with XTerra-C18 and Symmetry-C18. However, obvious differences were observed for the shape of the band profiles recorded at low column loading (1.5 g/L, 250 L injected). A long shoulder is visible at all salt concentrations and the band broadening is maximum at low salt concentrations. A slow mass transfer kinetics on the high-energy sites of the bi-Moreau model might explain this original shape. Five other salts (NaCl, CsCl, KNO3, CaCl2 and Na2SO4) were also used at the same ionic strength ( M). As many different band profiles were observed, suggesting that specific solute–salt interactions take place in the adsorbed phase.

Using this new method, we predict the surface exciton energies for KI, KBr, KCl, and NaCl within ±0.15 eV. Our data, the measured and calculated shifts of the surface exciton energies with respect to the bulk excitons, combined with the available EELS data for alkali fluorides, demonstrate a universal linear correlation with the inverse inter-atomic distance in these materials. The results suggest that surface excitons exist in all alkali halides and their excitation energies can be predicted from the known bulk exciton energies and the obtained correlation plot.

The limiting features in SANS experiment design are the length of time required to make a measurement and the minimum momentum transfer Q that can be measured, and the resolution. In the traditional pinhole-camera geometry, these two constraints are inextricably linked, forcing tradeoffs. However, a number of methods have been developed for reducing this linkage, thus allowing higher throughput while retaining high resolution and a low minimum Q. These methods include using multiple confocal pinhole apertures, lenses, and focusing mirrors. We compare and contrast these options and discuss their suitability for use on instruments at pulsed neutron sources.

For example, the module ‘supermirror ensemble’ simulates a number of supermirror plane sections in any geometry, including spin dependent reflectivity and absorption. This module was intensively used in the optimisation of the bi-spectral extraction system for the new guide hall of BENSC at HMI. It was also used for simulations of beam splitter polarizing cavities at BENSC. Another example is the module ‘Fermi chopper’ which simulates real three-dimensional slit packages with no analytic approximations. It will also be shown that this latter module has been very successfully bench-marked with HET/ISIS experimental data and is consistent with analytic theory. Finally, we will present a sophisticated Monte Carlo simulation study of a time-focused pulsed source crystal analyzer spectrometer prototype, which is planned to be realized in a test at IPNS.

This instrument requires a detector array with large (6 mm×40 mm) pixels and an area of several square meters. The prototype uses a two-dimensional grid of wavelength shifting fibers, with the fiber axes parallel to the scintillator screen, to collect the scintillation photons. The fiber ends for each pixel go to a specific set of four photomultiplier tubes, so that the position of each event can be determined by a 4-tube 2Cn×2Cn coded coincidence. The observed maximum light yield with a 6LiF/ZnS:Ag neutron scintillation screen, summed over four tubes, is greater than 200 photons/neutron. This is about 0.13% of the ∼150,000 photons/neutron produced in the scintillator. The light yield is sufficient to allow pulse discrimination between neutron signals and gamma-ray background. Further light collection gains should be achievable using double-clad fiber and green-enhanced photomultiplier tubes. Currently, the shape, structure, and specific composition of the scintillator are being investigated, on the assumption that 6LiF/ZnS:Ag will be the chosen scintillator material.

As of October 2003, seventeen neutron scattering instruments have been approved for development. Unfortunately the detector requirements for many of these instruments exceed the capabilities of the systems that are available today. While improved detectors would significantly enhance the scientific capabilities of the facility, detector decisions have been made based on the current best option. This paper will present the detector requirements of the instruments, list the detector selections for initial operation, and review the deficiencies of these selections. The need for new detectors is significant and the SNS staff strongly endorses detector research that will eliminate these deficiencies. New detectors will not only improve the quality of the science being done at neutron scattering facilities, they will also open new areas of research.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/08/21/ VL - 84 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 2579 EP - 2593 SN - 14786435 AB - The co-deformation of Cu-Ag or Cu-Nb composite wires used for high-field magnets has a number of important microstructural consequences, including the production of very-fine-scale structures, the development of very high internal surface-area-to-volume ratios during the drawing, and the storage of defects at interphase interfaces. In addition, the fabrication and co-deformation of the Cu and Ag or Nb, which differ in crystal structure, thermal expansion elastic modulus and lattice parameter, lead to the development of short-wavelength internal stressed in both composites. In this paper, these internal stresses are characterized by neutron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy as a function of the imposed drawing strain. The internal stresses lead to important changes in the elastic plastic responses, which is related to both magnet design and service life. The second derivative δ²σ/δ²ε of the stresses with respect to strain is used to describe the low-strain an elasticity of the composites. The internal stresses in Cu-Nb are higher than in Cu-Ag and consequently, the absolute values of (δ²σ/δ²ε)Cu-Nb are higher than those of (δ²σ/δ²ε)Cu-Nb at low strains.

Analysis of evolving photodetachment energy distributions reveals differing relaxation pathways from these prepared states. Specifically, the C 2Πg 00 level relaxes on a time scale of 620±30 fs to vibrationally hot (∼2.0 eV) anion ground state both directly and indirectly through vibrationally excited levels of the intermediate-lying à 2Σg+ state that decay with a time scale of 2300±200 fs. In contrast, the 2 2Πg 00 level relaxes much more quickly (<100 fs) to vibrationally hot (∼2.5 eV) anion ground state directly and with transient population accumulation in the à 2Σg+, B 2Σu+, and C 2Πg electronic levels, as determined by spectral and time-scale analyses. This work also presents the experimental observation of the optically inaccessible B 2Σu+ state, which is found to have an electronic term value of 1.41±0.05 eV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Experiments with isotopically layered films of H2O and D2O are used to profile the spatial distribution of the electron-stimulated reactions leading to hydrogen within the water films. The molecular hydrogen yield has two components that have distinct reaction kinetics due to reactions that occur at the ASW/Pt interface and the ASW/vacuum interface, but not in the bulk. However, the molecular hydrogen yield as a function of the ASW film thickness in both pure and isotopically layered films indicates that the energy for the reactions is absorbed in the bulk of the films and electronic excitations migrate to the interfaces where they drive the reactions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Measurements have been performed on poly(amidoamine) dendrimers with generations ranging from g=0 up to g=8 at low concentrations in methanol. We described the static form factor P(q) by a model taking into account the compact, globular shape as well as the loose, polymeric character of dendrimers. Monomer distributions within dendrimers are of special interest for potential applications and have been characterized by the pair correlation function γ(r), as well as by the monomer and end-group density profile, ρ(r) and ρe(r), respectively. Monomer density profiles and γ(r) can be derived from P(q) by modeling and via a model independent approach using the inverse Fourier transformation algorithm first introduced by Glatter. Experimental results are compared with computer simulations performed for single dendrimers of various generations using the cooperative motion algorithm. The simulation gives direct access to γ(r) and ρ(r), allows an independent determination of P(q), and yields in addition to the scattering experiment information about the distribution of the end groups. Excellent qualitative agreement between experiment and simulation has been found. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The single-phase regions of Ba2-x(Nd1+x-yR′y)Cu3O6+z for R′ = Gd, Y and Yb, and of Ba2-x(R1+x-yYy)Cu3O6+z for R = Eu and Gd were determined. Using these data, both flux-pinning and melting properties can be tailored and optimized. The presence of a low temperature melt during formation of the Ba2YCu3O6+x phase from barium fluoride amorphous precursor films is deemed important for producing quality tapes, and hence for rapid advancement of second-generation RABiTS/IBAD coated conductor technology.

The experimental data are compared with the results of a mean-field model that has been established from an analysis of bulk magnetization and zero-field neutron diffraction data.

The heat capacity of SrAlSi follows the BCS-theory for weak coupling, but the data for CaAlSi indicate an enhanced coupling strength in the latter compound. The characteristic parameters of the normal and superconducting states are evaluated. The effect of high pressure on Tc is positive in CaAlSi but negative in SrAlSi. The opposite signs of the pressure coefficients of Tc indicate distinct differences in the electronic structure at the Fermi energy.

This coupling will produce a kink in dI/dV characteristics at Zeeman energy of the spin ω0. We find that for relevant values of parameters the signal scales as dI2/dV2≃(JN0)2Θ(eV-ω0) and could be in the range of 10-2 of the bare density of states where N0 is the density of states for surface electrons. Scattering in superconductor with the coherence peak at gap maximum Δ leads also to strong features at Δ+ω0. This suggests a new technique for a detection of a local spin excitation with STM.

We calculate the upper critical field for different field orientation. Due to a very large difference between the c-axis coherence lengths in two-bands, the GL theory is applicable only in the extremely narrow temperature range. This leads to the strong temperature dependence of the Hc2 anisotropy and large deviations of the angular dependence of Hc2 from a simple effective-mass law. In the case of field along c-direction we solved coupled nonlinear Usadel equations numerically to find field evolution of the pair potentials and local densities of states for two-bands. The existence of two distinct length and field scales corresponding to different bands is demonstrated.

Low-energy incommensurate spin fluctuations clearly are observed around (π,π) at low temperatures and remain even above the stripe ordering temperature of 50 K. However, the peak intensity dramatically degrades toward the structural transition temperature between low-temperature tetragonal and low-temperature orthorhombic phases, Td2, of 60 K. No well-defined signal was observed above Td2. These results suggest that the charge fluctuations, which are closely related with the crystal structure, modify the magnetic correlations as expected from the stripe model.

This set of crossing lattices contains a sublattice of Josephson vortices (JVs) and a sublattice of pancake vortex (PV) stacks. The PV sublattice modifies structure of an isolated JV. The JV phase field is composed of the regular and vortex phases. The contribution from the vortex phase smoothly takes over with increase of the magnetic field. The core structure experiences qualitative evolution with anisotropy decrease. At large anisotropies JV weakly distorts PV crystal and the JV core contains many PV rows. At smaller anisotropies the JV core shrinks to one PV row and PV stacks in this central row form a soliton-like structure. At very small c-axis field (⪝1 G) the PV stacks form chains located at JVs. At certain field the crossing-lattices chains transform into the tilted-vortices chains. We present a simple criterion for this transition.

Through the combination of micro-Hall probe magnetometry and Magneto-optical imaging, we are able to visualize the magnetic field “landscape” where the “local” vortex avalanches take place. We measure the avalanche size statistics at several locations in the magnetic landscape, comprising a number of events orders of magnitude larger than previously reported. The distributions of avalanche sizes show a nearly power-law character, and their details are strikingly independent from the specific features of the “magnetic landscape” where they take place. Some experiments in order to find spatial-temporal correlations between avalanches are also presented.

From this and the magnetic field dependence of the plasma peaks in the vortex solid and liquid states it is shown that the electronic compressibility of the CuO2 layers is consistent with a free electron value. Also the London penetration depth λab≈1100 Å near Tc can be determined. The voltage response in the IV-curve of a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 mesa due to microwave irradiation or current injection in a second mesa is related to the nonequilibrium charge imbalance of quasiparticles and Cooper pairs and from our experimental data the relaxation time ∼100 ps is obtained.

With increasing field, we observe a suppression of the non-Fermi liquid behavior, ρ∼T, and the development of a Fermi liquid state, with its characteristic ρ=ρ0+AT2 dependence. The field dependence of the T2 coefficient shows critical behavior with an exponent of ∼4/3. This is evidence for a new field-induced quantum critical point, occurring in this case at a critical field which coincides with the superconducting upper critical field Hc2.

T1 - Detection and control of broken symmetries with Andreev bound state tunneling spectroscopy: effects of atomic-scale disorder JO - Physica C JF - Physica C Y1 - 2004/08/22/ VL - 408-410 M3 - Article SP - 804 EP - 806 SN - 09214534 AB - Quasiparticle planar tunneling spectroscopy is used to study unconventional superconductivity in YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO) single crystals. Tunneling conductances are obtained as a function of crystallographic orientation, applied magnetic field (magnitude and orientation), atomic substitution and surface damage. Our systematic studies confirm that the observed zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP), a measure of the near-surface quasiparticle (QP) density of states (DoS), is comprised of Andreev bound states (ABS) resulting directly from the sign change of the d-wave order parameter (OP) at the Fermi surface. Our data, plus a literature search, reveals a consistency in the observation of the splitting of the ZBCP in optimally-doped materials. We note that the splitting of the ZBCP observed in applied field, and the spontaneous splitting observed at lower temperatures in zero field, occur concomitantly in a given junction, and that observation of this splitting is dependent upon two parameters: (1) the magnitude of the tunneling cone and (2) the degree of atomic-scale disorder at the interface.

The highest Tc is characterized by an optimal excess oxygen content, Δy, dichotomizing the under- and over-doped regions for each Sr concentration. While the average Tl valence is close to 3.0 and independent of Δy, the average Cu valence shows a linear dependence with Δy. An increase of the flatness of the CuO2 plane, characterized by the O(2)–Cu(2)–O(2) bond angle of ∼176°, was observed at the optimal Δy.

Indentations on pure (100)-oriented platinum at 20, 100, and 200 °C reveal that the transition from elastic to plastic deformation occurs at progressively lower stress levels as temperature is increased. Additionally, it is shown that during plastic deformation, higher temperatures promote the discretization of plasticity into sharp bursts of activity. These results are in line with expectations for stress-biased, thermally activated deformation processes such as the nucleation of dislocations or the abrupt release of dislocation entanglements.

The surface nanocomposite layer was produced by first thermally oxidizing a Si crystal to produce an overlying SiO2 film with a desired thickness. Stoichiometric coimplantation of vanadium and oxygen ions and subsequent thermal processing were then employed to form embedded VO2 nanoparticles in the SiO2 film. The reflectivity of the vanadium dioxide particles undergoes large changes at the VO2 semiconductor-to-metal phase transition, thereby providing the mechanism for thermally controlling the reflectivity of the VO2/SiO2/Si layer and, effectively, the Si crystal surface. The VO2/SiO2 nanocomposite layer was applied in a device configuration in which heating via current through the Si substrate is used to control the surface reflectivity.

Application of compound 48/80 resulted in dose-dependent ATP evolution from cultured HUVECs. This release was not cytotoxic as demonstrated by a lactate dehydrogenase assay and the ability of the cells to load and retain the viability dye calcein following stimulation. Mastoparan also stimulated release of ATP, further suggesting the process was G-protein initiated. This G protein was insensitive to pertussis toxin and appeared to be of the Gq-subtype. The ATP efflux was completely abolished in the presence of EGTA and thapsigargin signifying a strict Ca2+ dependence. Furthermore, compound 48/80-induced release was significantly decreased in cells pretreated with the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122. Thus, the release pathway appears to proceed through an increase in intracellular Ca2+ via PLC activation. Additionally, the G protein-initiated release was attenuated by pretreatment of the cells with either phorbol ester or indolactam V, both activators of protein kinase C. Finally, ATP release was not affected by treating HUVECs with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors or glybenclamide.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/08/23/ VL - 43 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5205 EP - 5215 SN - 00201669 AB - The net six-electron oxidation of aniline to nitrobenzene or azoxybenzene by cis-[RuIV(bpy)2(py)(O)]2+ (bpy is 2,2'- bipyridine; py is pyridine) occurs in a series of discrete stages. In the first, initial two-electron oxidation is followed by competition between oxidative coupling with aniline to give 1,2-diphenylhycirazine and capture by H2O to give N-phenylhydroxylamine. The kinetics are first order in aniline and first order in Ru(IV) with k(25.1 °C CH3CN) = (2.05 ± 0.18) × 102 M-1 s-1 (ΔH‡ = 5.0 ± 0.7 kcal/mol; ΔS‡ = -31 ± 2 eu). On the basis of competition experiments, kH2OkD2O kinetic isotope effects, and the results of an 18O labeling study, it is concluded that the initial redox step probably involves proton-coupled two-electron transfer from aniline to cis-[RuIV(bpy)2(py)(O)]2+ (Ru2+ = O2+. The product is an intermediate nitrene (PhN) or a protonated nitrene (PhNH+) which is captured by water to give PhNHOH or aniline to give PhNHNHph. In the following stages, PhNHOH, once formed, is rapidly oxidized by RUIV=O2+ to PhNO and PhNHNHPh to PhN=NPh. The rate laws for these reactions are first order in RuIV= O2+ and first order in reductant with k(14.4 °C, H2O/(CH3)2CO) = (4.35 ± 0.24) × 106 M-1 s-1 for PhNHOH and k(25.1 °C, CH3CN) = (1.79 ± 0.14) × 104 M-1 s-1 for PhNHNHPh. In the final stages of the six-electron reactions, FhNO is oxidized to PhNO2 and PhN=Nph to PhN(O)=Nph, The oxidation of PhNO is first order in PhNO and in RuIV=O2+ with k(25.1 °C CH3CN) = 6.32 ± 0.33 M-1 s-1 (ΔH‡ = 4.6 ± 0.8 kcal/mol; ΔS‡ = -39 ± 3 eu). The reaction occurs by O-atom transfer, as shown by an 18O labeling study and by the appearance of a nitrobenzene-bound intermediate at low temperature.

In this paper, we present a variety of computational studies designed to investigate the role of protein dynamics in the detailed mechanism of peptidyl--prolyl cis--trans isomerization catalyzed by human cyclophilin A. The results identify a network of protein vibrations, extending from surface regions of the enzyme to the active site and coupled to substrate turnover. Indications are that this network may have a role in promoting catalysis. Crucial parts of this network are found to be conserved in 10 cyclophilin structures from six different species. Experimental evidence for the existence of this network comes from previous NMR relaxation studies, where motions in several residues, forming parts of this network, were detected only during substrate turnover. The high temperature factors (from X-ray crystal structures) associated with the network residues provide further evidence of these vibrations. Along with the knowledge of enzyme structure, this type of network could provide new insights into enzymatic catalysis and the effect of distant ligand binding on protein function. The procedure outlined in this paper is general and can be applied to other enzymatic systems as well. This presents an interesting opportunity; collaborative experimental and theoretical investigations designed to characterize in detail the nature and function of this type of network could enhance the understanding of protein dynamics in enzymatic catalysis.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/08/24/ VL - 43 IS - 33 M3 - Article SP - 10628 EP - 10641 SN - 00062960 AB - Cyclase-associated protein (CAP or Srv2p) is a modular actin monomer binding protein that directly regulates filament dynamics and has been implicated in a number of complex developmental and morphological processes, including mRNA localization and the establishment of cell polarity. The crystal structure of the C-terminal dimerization and actin monomer binding domain (C-CAP) reveals a highly unusual dimer, composed of monomers possessing six coils of right-handed β-helix flanked by antiparallel β-strands. Domain swapping, involving the last two strands of each monomer, results in the formation of an extended dimer with an extensive interface. This structural and biochemical characterization provides new insights into the organization and potential mechanistic properties of the multiprotein assemblies that integrate dynamic actin processes into the overall physiology of the cell. An unanticipated finding is that the unique tertiary structure of the C-CAP monomer provides a structural model for a wide range of molecules, including RP2 and cofactor C, proteins involved in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa and tubulin maturation, respectively, as well as several uncharacterized proteins that exhibit very diverse domain organizations. Thus, the unusual right-handed β-helical fold present in C-CAP appears to support a wide range of biological functions.

Here we explore the implications of the highest and lowest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emissions pathways for climate change and associated impacts in California. Based on climate projections from two state-of-the-art climate models with low and medium sensitivity (Parallel Climate Model and Hadley Centre Climate Model, version 3, respectively), we find that annual temperature increases nearly double from the lower B1 to the higher A1fi emissions scenario before 2100. Three of four simulations also show greater increases in summer temperatures as compared with winter. Extreme heat and the associated impacts on a range of temperature-sensitive sectors are substantially greater under the higher emissions scenario, with some interscenario differences apparent before midcentury. By the end of the century under the B1 scenario, heatwaves and extreme heat in Los Angeles quadruple in frequency while heat-related mortality increases two to three times; alpine/subalpine forests are reduced by 50-75%; and Sierra snowpack is reduced 30-70%. Under A1fi, heatwaves in Los Angeles are six to eight times more frequent, with heat-related excess mortality increasing five to seven times; alpine/subalpine forests are reduced by 75-90%; and snowpack declines 73-90%, with cascading impacts on runoff and streamflow that, combined with projected modest declines in winter precipitation, could fundamentally disrupt California's water rights system. Although interscenario differences in climate impacts and costs of adaptation emerge mainly in the second half of the century, they are strongly dependent on emissions from preceding decades.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/08/24/ VL - 101 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 12491 EP - 12496 SN - 00278424 AB - Spectroscopic studies have identified a number of proteins that appear to retain significant residual structure under even strongly denaturing conditions. Intrinsic viscosity, hydrodynamic radii, and small-angle x-ray scattering studies, in contrast, indicate that the dimensions of most chemically denatured proteins scale with polypeptide length by means of the power-law relationship expected for random-coil behavior. Here we further explore this discrepancy by expanding the length range of characterized denatured-state radii of gyration (RG) and by reexamining proteins that reportedly do not fit the expected dimensional scaling. We find that only 2 of 28 crosslink-free, prosthetic-group-free, chemically denatured polypeptides deviate significantly from a power-law relationship with polymer length. The RG of the remaining 26 polypeptides, which range from 16 to 549 residues, are well fitted (r<² = 0.988) by a power-law relationship with a best-fit exponent, 0.598 ± 0.028, coinciding closely with the 0.588 predicted for an excluded volume random coil. Therefore, it appears that the mean dimensions of the large majority of chemically denatured proteins are effectively indistinguishable from the mean dimensions of a random-coil ensemble.

To that end, a stable and low-cost semi-conductor that is able to absorb a large amount of solar photons while having a low band gap needs to be synthesized. The goal of this work is to synthesize nanocrystalline p-Fe2O3 films and dope them with zinc using a spray pyrolytic deposition method in order to determine their photoresponse toward photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Rietveld refinement using synchrotron X-ray diffraction data of the calcined ITQ-12 product taken at 298 K confirms the proposed topology, framework type code ITW, which can be described by a monoclinic unit cell (Si24O48] having Cm symmetry. Unit cell parameters are a = 10.3360(4), b = 15.0177(6), and c = 8.8639(4) Å, β = 105.356(3)°, and cell volume V = 1326.76(9) ų. For as-synthesized ITQ-12, the occluded fluoride anion is located inside the double four-membered ring, while the flat 1,3,4- trimethylimidazolium cation lies on the equatorial plane of the slit-shaped [44546484] cage, with its longest dimension in the [010] direction. The monoclinic unit cell [(C6N2H11)+2F-2][Si24O48], having Cm symmetry, has parameters a = 10.4478(3), b = 14.9854(4), and c = 8.8366(3) Å, β = 105.935(2)°, and cell volume V= 1330.34(7) ų at 298 K. Cooperative structure-directing effects during the crystallization of ITQ-12 are discussed in terms of the structure of the as-made material.

A range of physical data, including that from Stark (electroabsorption) spectroscopy, permits unprecedented quantitative comparisons, most notably regarding the effects of extension of bridging polyene chains. The purely organic compounds display normal optical properties in that their intense, visible π → π* intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) bands red-shift as the number of E-ethylene units (n) increases from 1 to 3 and the associated static first hyperpolarizabilities β0 increase steadily with n. The related RuII complexes show intense, visible d → π* metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) bands, which are found to lower energy when compared with the ICT transitions of the corresponding organics. Abnormally, these MLCT bands blue-shift as n increases, and β0 maximizes at n = 2. Time- dependent density-functional theory and finite field calculations verify these empirical trends for both types of compound- which can be rationalized as arising from the differing orbital structures of the chromophores and the assocIated degrees of D-A electronic coupling.

Variable temperature NMR experiments provided evidence that 2 is in equilibrium with its 16-electron η¹-benzyl isomer [Cp*(dmpe)Mo(η¹ CH2Ph)].

Complex 2 was found to react with disubstituted silanes H2SiRR' (RR' = Me2, Et2, MePh, and Ph2) to form toluene and the silylene complexes Cp*(dmpe)MO(H)(SiRR') (4a: BR' = Me2 4b: RB' = Et2 4c: RR' = MePh; 4d: RR' = Ph2). Reactions of 2 with monosubstituted silanes H3SiR (R = Ph, Mes, Mes = 2,4,6- trimethyiphenyl) produced rare examples of hydrosilylene complexes Cp*(dmpe)Mo(H)Si(H)R (5a: B = Ph; 5b: R = Mes; 5c: R = CH2Ph). Reactivity of complexes 4a-c and 5a-d is dominated by 1,2-hydride migration from metal to silicon, and these complexes possess H…Si bonding interactions, as supported by spectroscopic and structural data. For example, the HSI coupling constants in these species range in value from 30 to 48 Hz and are larger than would be expected in the absence of H…Si bonding. A neutron diffraction study on a single crystal of diethylsilylene complex 4b unequivocally determined the hydride ligand to be in a bridging position across the molybdenumsilicon bond (Mo-H 1.85(1) Å, Si-H 1.68(1) A). The synthesis and reactivity properties of these complexes are described in detail.

From the 2θ variation and the mosaic spread of the peaks, information about the dislocation structures formed during the deformation can be extracted in a much more direct way than previously possible. The method is based on the use of high energy X-rays and a multi-grain indexing program for identification of individual grains within a polycrystal. In a feasibility study, one aluminum grain is studied in situ during tensile deformation up to 4.5%.

Three cases of plastic deformation are considered: ideal simple shear, a plastic deformation zone (PDZ) in the shape of a central fan of angle βm, and a two-part PDZ consisting of a central fan in the ‘upper’ region and a low intensity shear deformation in the ‘lower’ region. The analysis for simple shear considers a general die angle Φ, whereas the other two cases only consider Φ=90°. The tensors for deformation and velocity gradients completely describe the deformation, such as the directions and magnitudes of material stretching and rotations. From this analysis, one can calculate deformation and texture evolution. Texture evolution during flow through the central fan zone involves continuous rotation of the texture components causing the texture developed at the end of the extrusion to be rotated relative to the ideal simple shear case. The analysis of the two-part zone suggests inhomogeneity in texture evolution, in which features of the initial texture are retained and rotated in the lower region, while they are nearly erased in the upper region. These analytical flow patterns for a single pass can be repeatedly applied for any number of passes of any ECAE route.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/08/26/ VL - 430 IS - 7003 M3 - Article SP - 1001 EP - 1005 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - The phase diagram of hole-doped copper oxides shows four different electronic phases existing at zero temperature. Familiar among these are the Mott insulator, high-transition-temperature superconductor and metallic phases. A fourth phase, of unknown identity, occurs at light doping along the zero-temperature bound of the ‘pseudogap’ regime. This regime is rich in peculiar electronic phenomena, prompting numerous proposals that it contains some form of hidden electronic order. Here we present low-temperature electronic structure imaging studies of a lightly hole-doped copper oxide: Ca2-xNaxCuO2Cl2. Tunnelling spectroscopy (at energies |E| > 100?meV) reveals electron extraction probabilities greatly exceeding those for injection, as anticipated for a doped Mott insulator. However, for |E| < 100?meV, the spectrum exhibits a V-shaped energy gap centred on E = 0. States within this gap undergo intense spatial modulations, with the spatial correlations of a four CuO2-unit-cell square ‘checkerboard’, independent of energy. Intricate atomic-scale electronic structure variations also exist within the checkerboard. These data are consistent with an unanticipated crystalline electronic state, possibly the hidden electronic order, existing in the zero-temperature pseudogap regime of Ca2-xNaxCuO2Cl2.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/08/27/ VL - 279 IS - 35 M3 - Article SP - 36462 EP - 36469 SN - 00219258 AB - The repair of psoralen interstrand cross-links in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves the DNA repair groups nucleotide excision repair (NER), homologous recombination (HR), and post-replication repair (PRR). In repair-proficient yeast cells cross-links induce double-strand breaks, in an NER-dependent process; the double-strand breaks are then repaired by HR. An alternate error-prone repair pathway generates mutations at cross-link sites. We have characterized the repair of plasmid molecules carrying a single psoralen cross-link, psoralen monoadduct, or double-strand break in yeast cells with deficiencies in NER, HR, or PRR genes, measuring the repair efficiencies and the levels of gene conversions, crossing over, and mutations. Strains with deficiencies in the NER genes RAD1, RAD3, RAD4, and RAD10 had low levels of cross-link-induced recombination but higher mutation frequencies than repair-proficient cells. Deletion of the HR genes RAD51, RAD52, RAD54, RAD55, and RAD57 also decreased induced recombination and increased mutation frequencies above those of NER-deficient yeast. Strains lacking the PRR genes RAD5, RAD6, and RAD18 did not have any cross-link-induced mutations but showed increased levels of recombination; rad5 and rad6 cells also had altered patterns of cross-link-induced gene conversion in comparison with repair-proficient yeast. Our observations suggest that psoralen cross-links can be repaired by three pathways: an error-free recombinational pathway requiring NER and HR and two PRR-dependent error-prone pathways, one NER-dependent and one NER-independent.

We describe the properties and functions of individual crystalline oxide nanoribbons that act as subwavelength optical waveguides and assess their applicability as nanoscale photonic elements. The length, flexibility, and strength of these structures enable their manipulation on surfaces, including the optical linking of nanoribbon waveguides and other nanowire elements to form networks and device components. We demonstrate the assembly of ribbon waveguides with nanowire light sources and detectors as a first step toward building nanowire photonic circuitry.

A partial wave analysis of the data up to 2.6 GeV/c² shows that three waves with JPC LS = 2++02 and with different Jz and reflectivity are needed to describe the data. A fit to the wave amplitudes using Jost functions gives two resonances, one above and one below the φφ threshold. The resonance above threshold has a Breit­Wigner structure with MR = 2.243 ± 0.015(stat) ± 0.010(syst) GeV and ΓR = 0.368 ± 0.033(stat) ± 0.030(syst) GeV.

[1] are explored. It is argued that the SAPHIR data may not currently exclude the existence of the charged partner Θ++. The usual prediction of the dominance of non-resonant Θ+ K, and Θ+K*, final states in photoproduction on the proton is argued not to obtain for an isotensor Θ+. This enhances the importance of excited baryon final states, where the excited baryon decays to Θ+ K or Θ+ K*; as well as the non-resonant Θ+ Kπ final state. The small width of the recently discovered Ξ-- cascade resonance to Ξ- π- is easier to explain if Θ+ is an isotensor pentaquark than if it is in the &10macr; representation, due to both an isospin and U-spin selection rule. A new production diagram for Θ+ in the photoproduction on the deuteron is suggested.

Our current rather limited understanding of the QCD mechanism of strong decays is stressed. Regarding current and future applications of strong decay models, we note that in certain channels the very strong coupling predicted between q&qmacr; basis states and the two-meson continuum may lead to strongly mixed states and perhaps molecular two-meson bound states. The relevance to the DsJ∗(2317) is discussed.

Both float zone and Czochralski silicon wafers were implanted with 30 keV fluorine ions to a fluence of 2×1014 ions/cm2, and studied in the as-implanted condition, and after annealing to 650 °C for 10 and for 30 min. The “2-detector” background reduction technique for positron annihilation was applied. The spectra reveal a significant concentration of fluorine-vacancy complexes after annealing, for both Czochralski and float zone material, supporting the results of computer simulations of the implantation and annealing process.

The sections studied represent some of the stratigraphically most complete records across the onset of the carbon isotopic excursion (CIE) and associated benthic foraminifera extinctions that mark the Paleocene–Eocene boundary. High-sensitivity analyses failed to uncover evidence of extraterrestrial element or isotope enrichments in the six sections, refuting the hypothesis of a major comet impact at the boundary. Preliminary searches for other impact-indicative features, such as spherules or shocked quartz, also gave negative results. In the Danish section studied, three basaltic Ir-rich ash layers occur at the Paleocene–Eocene boundary, but no similar ashes were found in Egypt or Spain. The three ashes represent the earliest known manifestation of an unusual 1 to 2 million year long phase of explosive basaltic volcanism in the Færø-Greenland region. This volcanism is synchronous with major flood basalt effusions in East Greenland and is associated with prominent paleogeographic changes in the high-latitude North Atlantic region. Discharge of mantle-derived Os to seawater during this volcanism may explain a small decrease in 187Os/188Os ratio at the Paleocene–Eocene boundary in the Zumaya section in Spain. The environmental perturbations at the Paleocene–Eocene boundary appear to have been triggered by basaltic volcanism, but any model for the detailed causal relation remains speculative.

The radiocarbon measurements require that a large fraction of seawater bicarbonate originally present in the downwelled fluid be removed during hydrothermal circulation. The Endeavour Segment is devoid of overlying sediments and has shown no observable signs of surficial magmatic activity during the previous 20 years of ongoing studies. The appearance of isotopically heavy, radiocarbon dead CO2 after a 1999 earthquake swarm indicate that this earthquake event was magmatic in origin. Evidence for the removal of seawater bicarbonate is a significant find because many studies to date have corrected CO2 data based on the presumption of the presence of seawater bicarbonate. Utilizing both stable and radiocarbon measurements there is some evidence of a sedimentary source of carbon at Endeavour. These findings, which represent the first temporally coherent set of radiocarbon measurements from hydrothermal vent fluids, demonstrate the utility of radiocarbon analysis in hydrothermal studies.

Here we use in situ 36Cl surface exposure dating of exposed bedrock fault scarps to determine earthquake time-slip histories and to quantify slip rates over the last several thousand years. This information allows us to delineate the seismic history of normal faulting within the Mediterranean area over that time period.We have studied the limestone scarp produced by the Magnola fault in the Central Apennines, Italy. The Magnola fault, in the Fucino area, is an active, 15-km long, normal fault striking WNW and dipping SSW. The range front morphology, characterised by steep triangular facets separated by V-shaped valleys and wine-glass canyons, suggests that the Magnola fault has been active for at least the last several hundred thousand years. At the base of the facets, the fault cuts limestone bedrock to produce a well-preserved normal fault scarp 10 to 12 m high.The distribution of 36Cl concentration versus the height along that scarp is best explained by a minimum of five and a maximum of seven successive earthquake exhumations, with slips varying between 1.5 and 3 m. An age of ∼5 ka at the base of the scarp and of ∼12 ka at the top yields a slip rate of ∼0.8 mm/year. The absence of any event on this fault during the last 5000 years suggests either that a future event is imminent on the Magnola fault or that the fault has entered a quiescent period with much longer recurrence time. Our study confirms that the Magnola fault scarp is post-glacial and supports the hypothesis that similar scarps in the Mediterranean are also post-glacial.

Substitution with either metal or a combination of both metals in the spinel lattice structure reduces the 3.9–4.2 V potential plateaus associated with the conversion of Mn3+ to Mn4+. Higher potential plateau associated with oxidation of the substituted transition elements is also observed. These substituents also significantly alter the onset of Jahn–Teller distortions in the 3 V potential plateau. Synchrotron based in situ X-ray absorption (XAS) was used to determine the exact nature of the oxidation state changes in order to explain the overall observed capacities at different potential plateaus. The studies on LiCu0.5Mn1.5O4 show single phase behavior in the 4–5 V potential region with a good cycle life. Lower cycle life characteristic observed in cycling LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and LiNi0.25Cu0.25Mn1.5O4 versus Li metal are ascribed to coexistence of several phases in this potential region. However, LiCu0.5Mn1.5O4 shows onset of Jahn–Teller distortions in the 3 V potential plateau, in contrast to LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and LiNi0.25Cu0.25Mn1.5O4 cathode materials.

H-NOX domains are also found in bacteria, either as isolated domains, or are fused through a membrane-spanning region to methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins. We have determined the crystal structure of an oxygen-binding H-NOX domain of one such signaling protein from the obligate anaerobe Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis at 1.77-Å resolution, revealing a protein fold unrelated to known structures. Particularly striking is the structure of the protoporphyrin IX group, which is distorted from planarity to an extent not seen before in protein- bound heme groups. Comparison of the structure of the H-NOX domain in two different crystal forms suggests a mechanism whereby alteration in the degree of distortion of the heme group is coupled to changes on the molecular surface of the H-NOX domain and potentially to changes in intermolecular interactions.

In this paper, we present several types of nanosized metal oxide semiconductor materials that have been successfully synthesized for the sensing of both ethanol and oxygen gases. Using the high-energy ball milling process, stable nanoparticle powders down to a few nanometers can be obtained at room temperature. For ethanol gas sensing application, nanosized α-Fe2O3-based solid solutions mixed separately with different mole percents of SnO2, ZrO2 and TiO2 are synthesized and fabricated into thick film sensor devices. In the case of oxygen sensing application, stabilized zirconia-based and TiO2-based solid solutions mixed with different mole percents of α-Fe2O3 are synthesized as the sensing materials. All the nanosized oxide materials are systematically characterized using XRD, and the fabricated sensor devices are characterized for their electrical and sensing properties. The sensing properties are compared and analyzed and the electrochemical reaction mechanisms are explained for the different types of sensing materials. The effects of the nanosize on the sensing properties are investigated. In the case of ethanol sensing, the α-Fe2O3–SnO2 and α-Fe2O3–ZrO2 materials are found to be most suitable whereas for the oxygen sensing, the ZrO2–α-Fe2O3 type is useful for low temperature application.

Nanoliter-sized droplets (10 and 50 nl) were deposited onto native silicon oxide wafer surfaces in a clean room environment from both single and multielemental standards containing various concentrations of iron in different matrices. Direct comparisons were made to droplets formed by conventional VPD with similar iron standards. Nanoliter dried spots could be reproducibly deposited and dried in air with typical drying times ranging from 20 s to 2 min depending on the nanoliter volume deposited, compared to VPD spots which have drying times ranging from tens of minutes to several hours. Both types of residues showed a linear relationship between Fe intensity and mass deposited. Variable angle experiments showed that both nanoliter and VPD deposits of single element standards were film-like in character, while residues formed from much more complex matrices and higher mass loadings were particulate in character. For the experimental conditions used in this study (30 kV, 100 mA), typical TXRF spectral Fe limits of detection were calculated to be on the order of picograms or ∼1×1010 atoms/cm2 for a 0.8 cm2 X-ray excitation beam area for both nanoliter dried spots and VPD spots prepared from single elemental standards. Calculated Fe detection limits for 200 mm diameter silicon wafers used in this study were in the ∼1×108 atoms/cm2 range. By using nanoliter sized droplets, the required sample volume is greatly reduced resulting in higher sample throughput than with conventional VPD methods.

The carbon film microstructure on typical Kawara is 50% carbon-black-like sp2 carbon atoms, which form layer-structured clusters parallel to the basal clay plane, and 50% carbon-black-like atoms, which form random-structured clusters that rigidly connect the layer-structured clusters. Weathered Kawara that has been exposed to sea breezes for numerous years was analyzed to understand the weathering effect from a microstructure point of view. The main weathering effect was the removal of the carbon film. It was also determined that the black stripes, which appear on the degraded “Susumaki” Kawara, are made from random-structured carbon black.

Sparse Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting computes the factorization PAQ = LU for the sparse nonsymmetric matrix A, where P and Q are permutation matrices, L is a lower triangular matrix, and U is an upper triangular matrix. Researchers have shown that sparse partial pivoting can be implemented in time proportional to the number of floating point operations required. The method is used by the sparse matrix package, SuperLU, and was the first method for sparse LU factorization in MATLAB. The goal is to compute a sparsity-preserving permutation Q solely from the pattern of A that limits the worst-case number of nonzeros in the LU factorization PAQ = LU. The fill-in also depends on P, but Q is selected to reduce an upper bound on the fill-in for any subsequent choice of P. Throughout this article, and in the algorithms, researchers assume that exact numerical cancellations do not occur.

Sparse partial pivoting methods compute the factorization PAQ = LU by first finding a column ordering Q. The column ordering Q is selected without regard to the numerical values. The row permutation P is found via standard partial pivoting, without regard to sparsity. The goal is to find Q to limit the worst-case fill-in, regardless of how P is subsequently chosen. COLAMD computes a column ordering Q, given the nonzero pattern of the sparse m-by-n matrix A. It is based on an approximate minimum degree method. The code can be used in two contexts: as a MATLAB mexFunction, and as a C-callable routine. There is an optional input argument that modifies how COLAMD treats matrices having rows and columns with many nonzero entries, and an optional output argument that gives statistics on the ordering. The MATLAB COLAMD function first calls the colaind.c code via the colamdmex.c routine, and then computes a column elimination tree post-ordering, via MATLAB's built-in coletree function.

JO - Acta Crystallographica: Section D (Wiley-Blackwell) JF - Acta Crystallographica: Section D (Wiley-Blackwell) Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 60 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1586 EP - 1590 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09074449 AB - The crystal structure of the triple mutant K53,56,120M of bovine pancreatic phospholipase A2 has been redetermined using sulfur single-wavelength anomalous scattering. The synchrotron data were collected at &lemda;1.54 Å and the crystal diffracted to 1.6 A resolution. The program SOLVE was used to locate the heavy atoms and to estimate the initial phases and the resulting map was then subjected to RESOLVE. The output of 455 non-H atoms, including 12 S atoms, one calcium ion and one chloride ion, were then subjected to ARP/wARP followed by REFMA C. With the improved phases, the automatic model building successfully built more than 85% of the 123 residues, excluding the N- and C-terminal residues. The final crystallographic R factor is 17.7% (Rfree = 21.7%). The refined model consists of 954 non-H protein atoms, 165 water O atoms, three 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) molecules, one calcium ion and one chloride ion. The present work is yet another example that shows the utility of single- wavelength anomalous scattering data for solving a protein structure.

The solubility of the protein is first determined by visual examination using a light microscope and those drops that remain clear after 24 hour are further evaluated using dynamic light scattering. The ease of use of this screen and the capability of testing many conditions makes this a very efficient means of searching for the best solvent condition for a particular protein.

An $\mathsf{SDS}$ consists of (a) a finite, labeled graph Y in which each vertex has a state, (b) a vertex labeled sequence of functions (Fvi,Y), and (c) a word w, i.e. a sequence (w1,...,wk), where each wi is a Y-vertex. The function Fwi,Y updates the state of vertex wi as a function of the states of wi and its Y-neighbors and leaves the states of all other vertices fixed. The $\mathsf{SDS}$ over the word w and Y is the composed map: $[\mathfrak{F}_Y,w]=\prod_{i=1}^{k} F_{w_i}$. The word w represents the genotype of the $\mathsf{SDS}$ in a natural way. We will randomly flip consecutive letters of w with independent probability q and study the resulting evolution of the $\mathsf{SDS}$. We introduce combinatorial properties of $\mathsf{SDS}$ which allow us to construct a new distance measure $\mathsf{D}$ for words. We show that $\mathsf{D}$ captures the similarity of corresponding $\mathsf{SDS}$. We will use the distance measure $\mathsf{D}$ to study neutrality and mutation rates in the evolution of words. We analyze the structure of neutral networks of words and the transition of word populations between them. Furthermore, we prove the existence of a critical mutation rate beyond which a population of words becomes essentially randomly distributed, and the existence of an optimal mutation rate at which a population maximizes its mutant offspring.

Commonly used mathematical models for dealing with such interactions employ a dual- or multiple-continuum concept, in which fractures and matrix are represented as overlapping, different, but interconnected continua, described by parallel sets of conservation equations. The conventional single-point upstream weighting scheme, in which the fracture relative permeability is used to represent the counterpart at the fracture–matrix interface, is the most common scheme by which to estimate flow mobility for fracture–matrix flow terms. However, such a scheme has a serious flaw, which may lead to unphysical solutions or significant numerical errors. To overcome the limitation of the conventional upstream weighting scheme, this paper presents a physically based modeling approach for estimating physically correct relative permeability in calculating multiphase flow between fractures and the matrix, using continuity of capillary pressure at the fracture–matrix interface. The proposed approach has been implemented into two multiphase reservoir simulators and verified using analytical solutions and laboratory experimental data. The new method is demonstrated to be accurate, numerically efficient, and easy to implement in dual- or multiple-continuum models.

JO - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition JF - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 80 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 680 EP - 691 SN - 00029165 AB - Background: A quantitative understanding of human folate metabolism is needed. Objective: The objective was to quantify and interpret human folate metabolism as it might occur in vivo. Design: Adults (n = 13) received 0.5 nmol [14C]pteroylmonoglu-tamate (100 nCi radioactivity) plus 79.5 nmol pteroylmonogluta-mate in water orally. 14C was measured in plasma, erythrocytes, urine, and feces for ⩾40 d. Kinetic modeling was used to analyze and interpret the data. Results: According to the data, the population was healthy and had a mean dietary folate intake of 1046 nmol/d, and the apparent dose absorption of14C was 79%. The model predictions showed that only 0.25% of plasma folate was destined for marrow, mean bile folate flux was 5351 nmol/d, and the digestibility of the mix(1046 + 5351 nmol/d) was 92%. About 33% of visceral pteroylmonoglutamate was converted to the polyglutamate form, most of the body folate was visceral (>99%), most of the visceral folate was pteroylpoly-glutamate (>98%), total body folate was 225 fx mol, and pteroyl-polyglutamate synthesis, recycling, and catabolism were 1985, 1429, and 556 nmol/d, respectively. Mean residence times were 0.525 d as visceral pteroylmonoglutamate, 119 d as visceral pteroyl-polyglutamate, 0.0086 d as plasma folate, and 0.1 d as gastrointestinal folate. Conclusions: Across subjects, folate absorption, bile folate flux, and body folate stores were larger than prior estimates. Marrow folate uptake and pteroylpolyglutamate synthesis, recycling, and catabolism are saturable processes. Visceral pteroylpolyglutamate was an immediate precursor of plasmap-aminobenzoylglutamate. The model is a working hypothesis with derived features that are explicitly model-dependent. It successfully quantitated folate metabolism, encouraging further rigorous testing.

Methods to improve throughput of RNA isolation from tissues are needed. The effects of bead size and composition for disrupting mouse tissues have been evaluated in small centrifuge tubes and optimized for RNA production. The resulting process is inexpensive, resistant to cross-contamination, and amenable to robotic processing. After optimization, very-high-quality RNA can be produced. Comparisons between RNAs isolated by beadmilling (followed by solid-phase purification) and those by conventional isolation processes show that RNA produced by beadmilling is suitable for microarray analyses. Parallel implementation of beadmilling will enable a high-throughput tissue-to-RNA processing system for large-scale microarray analyses.

The purpose of this paper is to describe and add a benchmark-quality calculation for such test problems. Green''s functions are used to model a multi-region, one-group, isotropically scattering, multiplying system in Cartesian geometry to obtain boundary flux values for an eigenvalue search and subsequent eigenfunction calculation. As usual with multi-region Cartesian systems, the solution is facilitated using (1) Placzek''s lemma, which allows us to consider a multi-region system one region at a time as an infinite medium, and (2) the calculation of the Green''s function solution for a nonphysical infinite multiplying medium. The Green''s function method is aesthetically pleasing both for its calculational efficiency and pedagogical clarity, and can, under certain circumstances, perform better than a discrete ordinates code.

Several factors have been identified that contribute to the variability in bacterial abundance counts when using fluorescent microscopy, the most significant of which is retaining an adequate number of cells per filter to ensure an acceptable level of statistical confidence in the resulting data. Previous studies that have assessed the components of total-direct-count methods that contribute to this variance have attempted to maintain a bacterial cell abundance value per filter of approximately 106 cells filter-1. In this study we have established the lower limit for the number of bacterial cells per filter at which the statistical reliability of the abundance estimate is no longer acceptable. Our results indicate that when the numbers of bacterial cells per filter were progressively reduced below 105, the microscopic methods increasingly overestimated the true bacterial abundance (range, 15.0 to 99.3%). The solid-phase cytometer only slightly overestimated the true bacterial abundances and was more consistent over the same range of bacterial abundances per filter (range, 8.9 to 12.5%). The solid-phase cytometer method for conducting total direct counts of bacteria was less biased and performed significantly better than any of the microscope methods. It was also found that microscopic count data from counting 5 fields on three separate filters were statistically equivalent to data from counting 20 fields on a single filter.

Based on partial small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences (approximately 500 nucleotides), six isolates shared 98.9% nucleotide identity. As a representative, the isolate QYMF was selected for further analysis. QYMF could be grown with Fe(III)-citrate, Fe(III)-EDTA, Co(III)-EDTA, or Cr(VI) as electron acceptors, and yeast extract and lactate could serve as electron donors. Growth during iron reduction occurred over the pH range of 7.5 to 11.0 (optimum, pH 9.5), a sodium chloride range of 0 to 80 g/liter (optimum, 20 g/liter), and a temperature range of 4 to 45°C (optimum, approximately 357deg;C), and iron precipitates were formed. QYMF was a strict anaerobe that could be grown in the presence of borax, and the cells were straight rods that produced endospores. Sodium chloride and yeast extract stimulated growth. Phylogenetic analysis of the SSU rRNA gene indicated that the bacterium was a low-G+C gram-positive microorganism and had 96 and 92% nucleotide identity with Alkaliphilus transvaalensis and Alkaliphilus crotonatoxidans, respectively. The major phospholipid fatty acids were 14:1, 16:1ω7c, and 16:0, which were different from those of other alkaliphiles but similar to those of reported iron-reducing bacteria. The results demonstrated that the isolate might represent a novel metal-reducing alkaliphilic species. The name Alkaliphilus metalliredigens sp. nov. is proposed. The isolation and activity of metal-reducing bacteria from borax-contaminated leachate ponds suggest that bioremediation of metal-contaminated alkaline environments may be feasible and have implications for alkaline anaerobic respiration.

Site 300 groundwater contains NO3- concentrations ranging from <0.5 to >200 mg NO3-/L. Several lines of evidence strongly suggest that denitrification is naturally attenuating NO3- in the confined, O2-depleted region of the bedrock aquifer under study (Tnbs2): (a) both NO3- and dissolved O2(DO) concentrations in groundwater decrease dramatically as groundwater flows from unconfined to confined aquifer conditions, (b) stable isotope signatures (i.e., δ15N and δ18O) of groundwater NO3- indicate a trend of isotopic enrichment that is characteristic of denitrification, and (c) dissolved N2 gas, the product of denitrification, was highly elevated in NO3--depleted groundwater in the confined region of the Tnbs2 aquifer. Long-term NO3- concentrations were relatively high and constant in recharge-area monitoring wells (typically 70–100 mg NO3-/L) and relatively low and constant in the downgradient confined region (typically <0.1–3 mg NO3-/L), suggesting a balance between rates of NO3- loading and removal by denitrification. Chemolithoautotrophic denitrification with pyrite as the electron donor is plausible in the Tnbs2 aquifer, based on the low dissolved organic C concentrations (<1.5 mg/L) that could not support heterotrophic denitrification, the common occurrence of disseminated pyrite in the aquifer, and the trend of increasing SO2-4 as groundwater flows from aerobic, unconfined to anoxic, confined aquifer conditions. Nitrate sources were investigated by experimentally determining the δ15N and δ18O signatures of NO3- from three potential anthropogenic sources of NO3- at Site 300: Ba(NO3)2 (mock explosive), HNO3, and photolysis of the explosive RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine). The isotopic signatures of these potential NO3- sources were markedly different than those of NO3- in Tnbs2 groundwater samples, suggesting that other sources must contribute significantly to the NO3- loading at Site 300. In particular, NO3- and NO2- resulting from RDX photolysis reflected dramatically depleted δ15N (ca. -7.4‰) and δ18O (ca. -25.7‰) values.

SN - 09478396 AB - It has been demonstrated that femtosecond laser pulses can be used to process dielectric materials such as optical glass. One of the applications of this process is to produce sub-diffraction-limit structures whose index of refraction is different from that of the host medium. Due to the small size of these ‘bits’, it has been proposed to use this technique for high-density optical data storage. This paper is concerned with the mechanisms of the change of the index of refraction in such a small domain. We propose that the laser-induced strain field is responsible for the localized change of the index of refraction. It is demonstrated that the compressive strain field could be smaller than the area where the laser energy is absorbed in the glass.

SN - 09478396 AB - In ultra-short laser pulse ablation from dielectric crystals two different ablation regimes are observed: 1) At laser intensities well below the single shot damage threshold, Coulomb explosion upon multiphoton surface ionization is the dominant process, yielding electrons and fast positive ions. 2) At higher laser intensities, ablation exhibits signs of hyper-thermal emission (phase explosion) as a result of rapid hot electron thermalization. This regime is characterized by massive etching, mostly of neutral particles. The transition from regime one to two is associated with the appearance of an additional, slower group of positive ions, saturation in the positive ion yield, and the occurrence of negative ions.

The evolution of the neotectonic strain field deduced from historical seismicity and both onshore and offshore faulting records is used to address the origin of this unusual stress field. Strain rates derived from estimates of the seismic moment release rate (up to ∼10−16 s−1) are compatible with Quaternary fault–slip rates. The record of more or less continuous tectonic activity extends back to the terminal Miocene or early Pliocene (10–5 Ma). Terminal Miocene tectonic activity was characterised by regional-scale tilting and local uplift and erosion, now best preserved by unconformities in offshore basins. Plate-scale stress modelling suggests the in situ stress field reflects increased coupling of the Australian and Pacific Plate boundary in the late Miocene, associated with the formation of the Southern Alps in New Zealand.

SN - 01682563 AB - Nitrogen addition may alter the decomposition rate for different organic-matter pools in contrasting ways. Using a paired-plot design, we sought to determine the effects of long-term elevated N on the stability of five organic-matter pools: organic horizons (Oe+a), whole mineral soil (WS), mineral soil fractions including the light fraction (LF), heavy fraction (HF), and a physically recombined fraction (RF). These substrates were incubated for 300 days, and respiration, mineralized N, and active microbial biomass were measured. Samples with elevated N gave 15% lower cumulative respiration for all five substrates. Over the 300-day incubation, the Oe+a gave twice the cumulative respiration (g C kg-1 initial C) as the LF, which gave slightly higher respiration than the HF. Respiration was 35% higher for the WS than for the RF. Mineralized N was similar between N treatments and between the LF and HF. Net N mineralized by the LF over the course of the 300-day incubation decreased with higher C:N ratio, due presumably to N immobilization to meet metabolic demands. The pattern was opposite for HF, however, which could be explained by a release of N in excess of metabolic demands due to recalcitrance of the HF organic matter. Mineralized N increased with respiration for the HF but showed no pattern, or perhaps even decreased, for the LF. WS and RF showed decreasing active microbial biomass near the end of the incubation, which corresponded with decreasing respiration and increasing nitrate. Our results show that long-term elevated N stabilized organic matter in whole soil and soil fractions.

It has been previously shown that measuring the capacitance of a solution containing interacting DNA and protein species can yield information about changing dipole moments. The measured dielectric constant relates directly to the dipole moment of the complexes in solution. Here, we apply this method to partial transcription initiation complexes in order to investigate the changing electronic properties in the transcriptional preinitiation complex. These experiments are the first reported observations relating to the overall dipole moment and its changes in preinitiation complex formation. Comparing results from TBP-independent and TBP-dependent transcriptional systems shows a divergence in the electronic properties of built-up transcription complexes, suggesting that they initiate transcription by significantly different electronic and structural pathways.

This model includes a simple representation of the dynamical evolution by incorporating the growth of power demand, the engineering response to system failures, and the upgrade of generator capacity. Two types of blackouts have been identified, each having different dynamical properties. One type of blackout involves the loss of load due to transmission lines reaching their load limits but no line outages. The second type of blackout is associated with multiple line outages. The dominance of one type of blackout over the other depends on operational conditions and the proximity of the system to one of its two critical points. The model displays characteristics such as a probability distribution of blackout sizes with power tails similar to that observed in real blackout data from North America. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Climate Dynamics JF - Climate Dynamics Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 23 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 243 EP - 258 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09307575 AB - We analyze simulations of the global climate performed at a range of spatial resolutions to assess the effects of horizontal spatial resolution on the ability to simulate precipitation in the continental United States. The model investigated is the CCM3 general circulation model. We also preliminarily assess the effect of replacing cloud and convective parameterizations in a coarse-resolution (T42) model with an embedded cloud-system resolving model (CSRM). We examine both spatial patterns of seasonal-mean precipitation and daily time scale temporal variability of precipitation in the continental United States. For DJF and SON, high-resolution simulations produce spatial patterns of seasonal-mean precipitation that agree more closely with observed precipitation patterns than do results from the same model (CCM3) at coarse resolution. However, in JJA and MAM, there is little improvement in spatial patterns of seasonal-mean precipitation with increasing resolution, particularly in the southeast USA. This is because of the dominance of convective (i.e., parameterized) precipitation in these two seasons. We further find that higher-resolution simulations have more realistic daily precipitation statistics. In particular, the well-known tendency at coarse resolution to have too many days with weak precipitation and not enough intense precipitation is partially eliminated in higher-resolution simulations. However, even at the highest resolution examined here (T239), the simulated intensity of the mean and of high-percentile daily precipitation amounts is too low. This is especially true in the southeast USA, where the most extreme events occur. A new GCM, in which a cloud-resolving model (CSRM) is embedded in each grid cell and replaces convective and stratiform cloud parameterizations, solves this problem, and actually produces too much precipitation in the form of extreme events. However, in contrast to high-resolution versions of CCM3, this model produces little improvement in spatial patterns of seasonal-mean precipitation compared to models at the same resolution using traditional parameterizations.

SN - 09307575 AB - The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) dominates tropical variability on time scales of 30-70 days. During the boreal winter/spring it is manifested as an eastward propagating disturbance, with a strong convective signature over the eastern hemisphere. Here, 20-100 day bandpass filtered outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) for the months of November-March from the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmospheric Model Version 2.0 (NCAR CAM2.0) and the Community Coupled System Model Version 2.0 (CCSM2.0) models is projected onto the observed patterns of MJO convection. This provides for the analysis of the models within a standard framework. Additionally, only analyzing years when the lead/lag relationship of the simulated principal components lie in the observed phase-space better isolates the simulated MJO signal. CCSM2.0 yields a better representation of the MJO than CAM2.0 due to the presence of air-sea interaction. Even so, the amplitude and spatial extent of the intraseasonal convection are underestimated relative to observed OLR, with a pronounced underestimate of the near-equatorial convection. Due to the development of a split inter-tropical convergence zone in the western Pacific, which is independent of the MJO, the models are precluded from representing the low-level moisture convergence that is central to the eastward propagation of the MJO. Once the systematic model error is remedied the underlying capability of the models to simulate the MJO will be possible.

A solution is synthesized from available rigorous elasticity results that have been found under asymptotic conditions. Preliminary to obtaining this result for the compressible medium case, results are first found for the incompressible case over a range of rigid particle size distributions. All results extend from the dilute condition up through the full packing limit, which depends upon the size distribution.

The former is undesired since it may lead to failure of facesheets and even the core in sandwich composites. A shear-lag model is developed in this article and it gives a simple criterion governing these two mechanisms. It is established that, for a given ratio Et/Ef of the elastic moduli in the transverse and fiber directions, there exists a critical facesheet thickness above which crack blocking is achieved and crack growth is prevented.

We examine how the positions of the localization centers affect accuracy and the convergence rate in the optimization process. In particular we investigate the accuracy of the atomic forces computation compared to the standard O(N3) approach. We show the exponential decay of the error on the energy and forces with the size of the localization regions for a variety of realistic physical systems. We propose a new algorithm to automatically adapt the localization centers during the ground state computation which allows for molecular dynamics simulations with diffusion processes. The combination of algorithms proposed lead to a genuine linear scaling First-Principles Molecular Dynamics method with controlled accuracy. We illustrate our approach with examples of microcanonical molecular dynamics with localized orbitals.

JO - Critical Care Medicine JF - Critical Care Medicine Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 32 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - S425 EP - S431 SN - 00903493 AB - OBJECTIVE:: Surface cooling improves outcome in selected comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. Internal cooling with considerable volumes of intravenous cold saline may accelerate hypothermia induction. This study compares core temperatures in swine after central catheter infusions of saline ice slurry (saline with smoothed 100-μm-size ice particles) vs. an equal volume of chilled saline. We hypothesized that slurry would achieve core hypothermia (32–34°C) more consistently and at a faster rate. DESIGN:: A total of 11 swine were randomized to receive microparticulate ice slurry, chilled saline infusion, or anesthesia alone in a monitored laboratory setting. INTERVENTIONS:: Intravenous bolus (50 mL/kg) of slurry or chilled 1.5% NaCl saline. Slurry was composed of a 1:1 mixture of ice and distilled H2O plus NaCl. MEASUREMENTS:: Cerebral cortex, tympanic membrane, inferior vena cava, rectal temperatures, electrocardiogram, arterial blood pressure, and arterial oxygen saturation were recorded for 1 hr after bolus. MAIN RESULTS:: Compared with anesthetized controls, core brain temperatures of the saline and slurry groups dropped by 3.4 ± 0.4°C and 5.3 ± 0.7°C (p = .009), respectively. With an infusion rate of 120 mL/min, cooling rates for the saline and slurry groups were −11.6 ± 1.8°C/hr and −18.2 ± 2.9°C/hr, respectively, during the first 20 mins. Four of four animals in the slurry group vs. zero of four animals in the saline group achieved target cortical temperatures of <34°C. CONCLUSIONS:: Cold intravenous fluids rapidly induce hypothermia in swine with intact circulation. A two-phase (liquid plus ice) saline slurry cools more rapidly than an equal volume of cold saline at 0°C. Ice-slurry could be a significant improvement over other cooling methods when rate of cooling and limited infusion volumes are important to the clinician.

JO - Crystal Growth & Design JF - Crystal Growth & Design Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 4 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1045 EP - 1052 SN - 15287483 AB - There has been an increasing effort in designing pharmaceutical particles with controllable properties (quality) such as chemical purity, morphology, size distribution, surface characteristics, and microstrain content. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of oscillatory flow mixing (OFM) in improving the quality of pharmaceutical precipitates, using paracetamol (4-acetamidophenol) as a model system. In-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical microscopy were applied to observe the growth of {110} faces of single paracetamol crystals. These studies showed that (a) the bunching and macrostep formation occur at all values of supersaturation; and (b) the oscillation of solution with respect to the growing interface and its relative velocity are the critical parameters for the minimization of the interfacial instabilities, and in turn, for maintaining structural quality. These findings were tested in a conventional impeller driven batch crystallizer (IDBC) and in an oscillatory baffled batch crystallizer (OBBC), in which, apart from hydrodynamics, all external conditions such as initial supersaturation and crystallization temperature were kept constant. The physical properties (the quality) of the precipitates were characterized by low angle laser light scattering (LALLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), respectively. The analysis of obtained results and their comparison for these two types of mixing shows clearly that particles precipitated in OBBC are of significantly higher quality than those produced in IDBC. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package, Fluent 5, was used to model dynamical fluid patterns in both crystallizers.

JO - Earth Surface Processes & Landforms JF - Earth Surface Processes & Landforms Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 29 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1209 EP - 1223 SN - 01979337 AB - Sediment‐borne contamination in a watershed can be highly variable as a result of fluvial processes operating over a range of time scales. This study presents a detailed analysis of the distribution of one contaminant along an ephemeral stream after 55 years of sediment transport, deposition, and exchange by flash floods. Wastewater containing plutonium was discharged into the Pueblo Canyon watershed from 1945 until 1964, and plutonium concentrations in fluvial deposits vary over five orders of magnitude. These variations can be attributed to three primary factors: time since contaminant releases, particle‐size sorting, and mixing of sediment from different sources. The highest concentrations occur in fine‐grained sediment deposits near the source that date to the period of effluent releases, and concentrations are lower in younger deposits, in coarser‐grained deposits, and in deposits farther downstream. The spatial distribution of plutonium is strongly affected by longitudinal variations in the size of sediment deposits of different age. A major aggradation–degradation cycle in the lower canyon overlapped with the period of active effluent releases, and a significant portion of the total plutonium inventory is contained within large coarse‐grained deposits below fill terraces that post‐date 1945. The spatial pattern of contamination is thus determined by the specific geomorphic history of the watershed, in addition to processes of mixing and sorting during transport that occur in all fluvial systems.

In North America alone, there exist hundreds of web- and disk-based building energy analysis tools, serving a diversity of audiences. Some are specialized while others consider the building as a whole. We evaluated 50 web-based residential tools and 15 disk-based tools. While the state-of-the art in tool design has risen considerably over the past three decades, today’s users are faced with an increasing—and often overwhelming—array of choices and, often, conflicting results. A surprising number provide little or no detailed analysis of energy savings options. A number of important building energy issues and efficiency features cannot be sufficiently well evaluated using any of the existing tools. Many factors conspire to confound performance comparisons among tools, and the sources or implications of observed differences in results are difficult to pinpoint. For the tools we tested, predicted whole-house energy bills ranged widely (by nearly a factor of three), and far more so at the end-use level. We also discovered a remarkable number of indications of errors in programming or algorithms. Tool design should be grounded in social science and engineering. Analytical results (e.g., benchmarking) and end-use-specific “what-if” functions are more helpful for many users than rarified engineering outputs. Desirable technical features include modeling of occupant effects, open-ended energy calculations as well as results normalized to actual consumption history, incorporating means for users to grasp the uncertainties embodied in the results, and ensuring quality control to remove errors from the design and programming of tools. More coordinated planning of tool development could help address the fragmentation and dilution of efforts that has historically hampered tool quality and market penetration.

SN - 0364152X AB - Net environmental benefits are gains in value of environmental services or other ecological properties attained by remediation or ecological restoration minus the value of adverse environmental effects caused by those actions. Net environmental benefit analysis (NEBA) is a methodology for comparing and ranking net environmental benefits associated with multiple management alternatives. A NEBA for chemically contaminated sites typically involves comparison of several management alternatives: (1) leaving contamination in place; (2) physically, chemically, or biologically remediating the site through traditional means; (3) improving ecological value through onsite and offsite restoration alternatives that do not directly focus on removal of chemical contamination; or (4) a combination of those alternatives. NEBA involves activities that are common to remedial alternatives analysis for state regulations and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, post-closure and corrective action permits under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, evaluation of generic types of response actions pertinent to the Oil Pollution Act, and land management actions that are negotiated with regulatory agencies in flexible regulatory environments (i.e., valuing environmental services or other ecological properties, assessing adverse impacts, and evaluating remediation or restoration options). This article presents a high-level framework for NEBA at contaminated sites with subframeworks for natural attenuation (the contaminated reference state), remediation, and ecological restoration alternatives. Primary information gaps related to NEBA include nonmonetary valuation methods, exposure-response models for all stressors, the temporal dynamics of ecological recovery, and optimal strategies for ecological restoration.

The chemical and physical processes that occur during abiotic reduction of natural sediments during flow by sodium dithionite were investigated. In different aquifer sediments, 10-22% of amorphous and crystalline FeIII-oxides were dissolved/reduced, which produced primarily adsorbed FeII and some siderite. Sediment oxidation showed predominantly one FeII phase, with a second phase being oxidized more slowly. The sediment reduction rate (3.3 h batch half-life) was chemically controlled (58 kJ mol-1), with some additional diffusion control during reduction in sediment columns (8.0 h half- life). It was necessary to maintain neutral to high pH to maintain reduction efficiency and prevent iron mobilization, as reduction generated H+. Sequential extractions on reduced sediment showed that adsorbed ferrous iron controlled TCE reactivity. The mass and rate of field-scale reduction of aquifer sediments were generally predicted with laboratory data using a single reduction reaction.

These tools, which include a 126-segment sweating manikin, a finite element physiological model of the human body, and a psychological model based on human testing, are designed to predict human thermal comfort in transient, nonuniform thermal environments, such as automobiles. The manikin measures the heat loss from the human body in the vehicle environment and sends the heat flux from each segment to the physiological model. The physiological model predicts the body’s response to the environment, determines 126-segment skin temperatures, sweat rate, and breathing rate, and transmits the data to the manikin. The psychological model uses temperature data from the physiological model to predict the local and global thermal comfort as a function of local skin and core temperatures and their rates of change. Results of initial integration testing show the thermal response of a manikin segment to transient environmental conditions.

Gamma-rays emitted in the reactions were detected using the Gammasphere spectrometer, in coincidence with charged particles detected by the Microball array. A new superdeformed band was assigned to the nucleus 88Mo, leading to a revisit of earlier configuration assignments for superdeformed structures in this nucleus. In particular, the theoretical interpretation of a pair of identical (isospectral) superdeformed bands in 88Mo/89Tc is discussed. The configurations that are assigned to the four SD bands belonging to 88Mo have properties that are predicted to be significantly affected by pair correlations.

While many have applied logistic, learning curve, analysis to market adoption and substitution of new products, technologies, and ideas, Cesare Marchetti proposed that society behaves as a learning system, in that technology and idea development could also be logistic. By analyzing data from engine technology development, he proposed that technological changes in society occurred in a wavelike fashion. Recently, various interpretations of trends in technological progress have led to widely differing predictions. Specifically, Ray Kurzweil hypothesized an ever-increasing rate of technological change, based on his analysis of over a century of progress in computation technologies.

In contrast, the abundance of 17O in precipitation has thus far been assumed to carry no additional information to that of 18O. Here, we demonstrate, using known constraints on oxygen isotope abundances from the O2 cycle and existing data about the natural abundance of 17O in water, that the relationship between the discrimination against 17O and 18O in water may vary. This relationship, presented here as θ = ln (17α)/ln (18α), is found to be 0.511 ± 0.005 for kinetic transport effects and 0.526 ± 0.001 for equilibrium effects, with very low temperature sensitivity. As a result, the 17Δ of precipitation is controlled primarily by kinetic effects during evaporation of the initial vapor and, in contrast to the deuterium excess, is independent of the temperature at the evaporation (and condensation) site. This makes 17Δ a unique tracer that complements 18O and deuterium, and may allow for a decoupling of changes in the temperature of the ocean, that serves as the vapor source, from changes in the relative humidity above it. In addition, the 17Δ of ice caps is influenced by the kinetic effects in ice formation, and therefore measurement of ice 17Δ can be used as an additional constraint for better understanding and parameterization of these effects.

We have performed experiments on H2O-CO2-NaCl fluids at 500°C, 500 bar, to obtain accurate and precise data on their a-X relations and phase equilibria. Two kinds of experiments were performed. First, H2O-CO2-NaCl samples were reacted at fixed activities of H2O = 0.078, 0.350, 0.425, 0.448, 0.553, 0.560, 0.606, 0.678, 0.798, 0.841, and 0.935 to define the tie lines of known H2O activity in the halite-vapor and vapor-brine fields. Results indicate that fluids with all but the last of these H2O activities lie in the vapor-halite two-phase region and that a fluid with aH2O = 0.841 has a composition close to the three-phase (vapor + brine + halite) field. A second set of experiments was performed to determine the solubility of NaCl in parts of the system in equilibrium with halite. Data from these experiments suggest that the vapor corner of the three-phase field lies at H2O contents above XH2O = 0.58 and XNaCl = 0.06, and below XH2O = 0.75 and XNaCl = 0.06, which is a significantly more H2O-rich composition than indicated by existing thermodynamic models.

T1 - An experimental and theoretical determination of oxygen isotope fractionation in the system magnetite-H2O from 300 to 800°C JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 68 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 3569 EP - 3585 SN - 00167037 AB - Oxygen isotope fractionations have been determined between magnetite and water from 300 to 800°C and pressures between 10 and 215MPa. We selected three reaction pathways to investigate fractionation: (a) reaction of fine-grained magnetite with dilute aqueous NaCl solutions; (b) reduction of fine-grained hematite through reaction with dilute acetic acid; and (c) oxidation of fine iron power in either pure water or dilute NaCl solutions. Effective use of acetic acid was limited to temperatures up to about 400°C, whereas oxide-solution isotope exchange experiments were conducted at all temperatures. Equilibrium 18O/16O fractionation factors were calculated from the oxide-water experiments by means of the partial isotope exchange method, where generally four isotopically different waters were used at any given temperature. Each run product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and on a limited basis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Results from the microscopic examinations indicate the formation of well-crystallized octahedra and dodecahedra of magnetite where the extent of crystallization, grain size, and grain habit depend on the initial starting material, P, T, solution composition, and duration of the run.The greatest amount of oxygen isotope exchange (∼90% or greater) was observed in experiments where magnetite either recrystallized in the presence of 0.5 m NaCl from 500 to 800°C or formed from hematite reacted with 0.5 m acetic acid at 300, 350 and 400°C. Fractionation factors (103 ln αmt-H2O) determined from these partial exchange experiments exhibit a steep decrease (to more negative values) with decreasing temperature down to about 500°C, followed by shallower slope. A least-squares regression model of these partial exchange data, which accounts for analytical errors and errors generated by mass balance calculations, gives the following expression for fractionation that exhibits no minimum: 1000lnαlmt-lw=-8.984(±0.3803)x+3.302(±0.377)x2—0.426(±0.092)x3 with an R2 = 0.99 for 300 ≤ T≤ 800°C (x = 106/T2). The Fe oxidation results also exhibit this type of temperature dependence but shifted to slightly more negative 103 ln α values; there is the suggestion that a kinetic isotope effect may contribute to these fractionations. A theoretical assessment of oxygen isotope fractionation using β-factors derived from heat capacity and Mössbauer temperature (second-order Doppler) shift measurements combined with known β-factors for pure water yield fractionations that are somewhat more negative compared to those determined experimentally. This deviation may be due to the combined solute effects of dissolved magnetite plus NaCl (aq), as well as an underestimation of βmt at low temperatures. The new magnetite-water experimental fractionations agree reasonably well with results reported from other experimental studies for temperatures ≥ 500°C, but differ significantly with estimates based on quasi-theoretical and empirical approaches. Calcite-magnetite and quartz-magnetite fractionation factors estimated from the combination of magnetite β’s calculated in this study with those for calcite and quartz reported by Clayton and Kieffer (1991) agree very closely with experimentally determined mineral-pair fractionations.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 32 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 745 EP - 748 SN - 00917613 AB - Cultural eutrophication—the process by which human activities increase nutrient input rates to aquatic ecosystems and thereby cause undesirable changes in surface-water quality—is generally thought to have begun with the start of the industrial era. The prehistoric dimension of human impacts on aquatic ecosystems remains relatively undescribed, particularly in North America. Here we present fossil plankton data (diatoms and rotifers), organic and inorganic carbon accumulations, and carbon isotope ratios from a 1000 yr sediment core record from Crawford Lake, Ontario, Canada. The data document increased nutrient input to Crawford Lake caused by Iroquoian horticultural activity from A.D. 1268 to 1486 and show how this increased nutrient input elevated lake productivity, caused bottom-water anoxia, and irreversibly altered diatom community structure within just a few years. Iroquoian settlement in the region declined in the fifteenth century, yet diatom communities and lake circulation never recovered to the predisturbance state. A second phase of cultural eutrophication starting in A.D. 1867, initiated by Canadian agricultural disturbance, increased lake productivity but had comparatively less impact on diatom assemblages and carbon-storage pathways than the initial Iroquoian disturbance. This study deepens our understanding of the impact of cultural eutrophication on lake systems, highlights the lasting influence of initial environmental perturbation, and contributes to the debate on the ecological impacts of density and agricultural practices of native North American inhabitants.

Residual saturation formation in the vadose zone is a process that is often ignored in multifluid flow simulators, which might cause an overestimation of the volume of NAPL that reaches the ground water. Mobile NAPL is defined as being continuous in the pore space and flows under a pressure gradient or gravitational body force. Entrapped NAPL is defined as being occluded by the aqueous phase, occurring as immobile ganglia surrounded by aqueous phase in the pore space and formed when NAPL is replaced by the aqueous phase. Residual NAPL is defined as immobile, nonwater entrapped NAPL that does not drain from the pore spaces and is conceptualized as being either continuous or discontinuous. Free NAPL comprises mobile and residual NAPL. The numerical model is formulated on mass conservation equations for oil and water, transported via NAPL and aqueous phases through variably saturated porous media. To account for phase transitions, a primary variable switching scheme is implemented for the oil-mass conservation equation over three phase conditions: (1) aqueous or aqueousgas with dissolved oil, (2) aqueous or aqueous-gas with entrapped NAPL, and (3) aqueous or aqueous gas with free NAPL. Two laboratory-scale column experiments are modeled to verify the numerical model. Comparisons between the numerical simulations and experiments demonstrate the necessity to include the residual NAPL formation process in multifluid flow simulators.

Visual analytics is the formation of abstract visual metaphors in combination with a human information discourse that enables detection of the expected and discovery of the unexpected within massive, dynamically changing information spaces. These suites of technologies apply to almost all fields but are being driven by critical needs in biology and national security. Visual analytics is an outgrowth of the fields of scientific and information visualization but includes technologies from many other fields, including knowledge management, statistical analysis, cognitive science, decision science, and many more. The processes and goals of analysis dominate the approach, but it's enabled by the wide-band visual interface to the brain and a dynamic interaction style of communication and discourse. A few example core technologies help to illustrate the emerging directions within visual analytics.

Many intriguing visualizations help deal with the data overload problem. Examples include visual tools based on similarity, relevance, explicit entity relationships, patterns in citations, and patterns in metadata. The literature describing creative visual approaches and prototype implementations is large and growing. However, little has been published on usage experiences with such tools. The In-Spire visualization tool based on the previous Spire system uses statistical word patterns to characterize documents based on their text content. Among its tools are two visualizations that show document themes, similarities, and differences: document-centric Galaxy uses a dot plot metaphor, and collection-centric ThemeView uses a landscape metaphor. People targeted several additional In-Spire analytic features explicitly at the user community. Their goal in developing In-Spire was to provide a data visualization tool that let users deal with many documents, reducing the amount of time spent crafting queries and the chance of eliminating useful material before the user can see it. It also needed capabilities that let users understand a collection of material at an overview level first, instead of launching immediately into reading individual documents. The tool needed to support analytic demands for both convergent focusing on a particular set of information, relationships, or thesis in depth and divergent seeking alternative explanations and remaining open to other potentially interesting information or relationships understanding methods.

Microcontact printing (μCP) and a photoresist-liftoff method were used to selectively localize poly-L-lysine (PLL) on the surface of MEAs. Haptotaxis led to the organization of the neurons into networks localized adjacent to microelectrodes. Various grids of PLL with 2-25-μm-wide lines spaced by 50-200 μm with 15-25-μm nodes at intersection points were used to guide cell body attachment and neurite outgrowth. Bursting activity with spike amplitude attenuation was observed, and multichannel recordings detected instances of coincident firing activity. Finally, we present here an extracellular recording from a ∼2 μm bundle of guided neurites.

The probability distribution functions of various measures of blackout size have a power tail and rescaled range analysis of the time series shows moderate long-time correlations. Moreover, the same analysis applied to a time series from a sandpile model known to be self-organized critical gives results of the same form. Thus, the blackout data seem consistent with SOC. A qualitative explanation of the complex dynamics observed in electric power system blackouts is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems.

It eliminates the storage of empty sinogram bins. Howe ever, a single back projection of all LORs is still necessary for the pre-calculation of a sensitivity image. Since the detection sensitivity is dependent on the object attenuation and detector efficiency, it must be computed for each study. Exact computation of the sensitivity image can be a daunting task for modern scanners with huge numbers of LORs. Thus, some fast approximate calculation may be desirable. In this paper, we analyze the error propagation from the sensitivity image into the reconstructed image. The theoretical analysis is based on the fixed point condition of the list mode reconstruction. The nonnegativity constraint is modeled using the Kuhn-Tucker condition. With certain assumptions and the first order Taylor series approximation, we derive a closed form expression for the error in the reconstructed image as a function of the error in the sensitivity image. The result shows that the error response is frequency-dependent and provides a simple expression for determining the required accuracy of the sensitivity image calculation. Computer simulations show that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the measured results.

The phases of HFOPs recorded at any given retinal location drift randomly over time, but regions activated by the same stimulus tend to remain phase locked with approximately zero lag, whereas regions activated by spatially separate stimuli are typically uncorrelated. Based on retinal anatomy, we previously postulated that HFOPs are mediated by feedback from a class of axon-bearing amacrine cells that receive excitation from neighboring ganglion cells-via gap junctions-and make inhibitory synapses back onto the surrounding ganglion cells. Using a computer model, we show here that such circuitry can account for the stimulus specificity of HFOPs in response to both highand low-contrast features. Phase locking between pairs of model ganglion cells did not depend critically on their separation distance, but on whether the applied stimulus created a continuous path between them. The degree of phase locking between spatially separate stimuli was reduced by lateral inhibition, which created a buffer zone around strongly activated regions. Stimulating the inhibited region between spatially separate stimuli increased their degree of phase locking proportionately. Our results suggest several experimental strategies for testing the hypothesis that stimulus-specific HFOPs arise from axon-mediated feedback in the inner retina.

Using these models, we analyze the impacts of electrical-feedback effects (e.g., ripple-current dynamics and load transients) on the performance and reliability of the SOFC. Subsequently, we investigate the effects of harmonics in the current, drawn from the SOFC by a PES, on the temperature and fuel utilization of the SOFC. We explore the impacts of inverter space-vector modulation strategies on the transient response, flow parameters, and current density of the SOFC during load transients and demonstrate how these two traditionally known superior modulation/control methodologies may in fact have a negative effect on the performance and durability of the SOFC unless carefully implemented. Further, we resolve the impacts of the current drawn by the PES from the SOFC, on its microcrack density and electrode/electrolyte degradation. The comprehensive analytical models and interaction-analysis methodologies and the results provided in this paper lead to an improved understanding, and may yield realizations of cost-effective, reliable, and optimal PESs, in particular, and SOFC PCSs, in general.

Two types of differently processed SrTiO3 thin films (as deposited and oxygen-annealed) deposited by the pulse laser deposition technique onto MgO single crystal substrate are investigated. The half-wave microstrip resonator with the resonance frequencies being 8 and 16 GHz at the first and second resonance modes respectively was used for the microwave characterization of the investigated thin films. The experimental data obtained strongly suggest the occurrence of a crossover between different dielectric loss contributions (extrinsic and intrinsic) in the films. The crossover is driven by the dc bias field: at weak fields the loss is governed by an extrinsic mechanism(s) whereas, at higher fields, the contribution of an Intrinsic mechanism (dc field-induced quasi-Debye loss) becomes predominant. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that the quality of tunable ferroelectric films can be judged from the shape of the field dependence of the loss tangent.

Issues relating to hydrogen run the gauntlet from energy economics, and the environment to foreign and domestic policy. Hydrogen can provide the energy storage for intermittent renewables like photovoltaics and wind, as well as be utilized as a transportation fuel. Hydrogen also may provide the link between the fossil energy we use today and the renewable energy people will use tomorrow. Fuel cell vehicles represent a holy grail of a clean, zero-emission transportation system. However, storing hydrogen on-board these vehicles presents a significant challenge.

Hydrogen storage is a crucial step for providing a ready supply of hydrogen fuel to an end use, such as a car, as it is considered by many to be the most technically challenging aspect of achieving a hydrogen-based economy. Hydrogen storage systems used for such stationary applications as residential heating and air-conditioning, neighborhood electrical generation, and many industrial applications can occupy a large area, employ multistep chemical charging/recharging cycles that operate at high temperature and pressure, and compensate for slow kinetics with extra capacity.

Costs include total project costs and estimates of industry costs to commercialize the new technologies. Benefit-cost ratios were estimated under three sets of assumptions. The ratios were substantial in all cases. The results suggest that collaborative efforts between government and industry in the area have tremendous potential.

The compounds Mn are zwitterions in solution and have a strong tendency to aggregate in polar solvents.First, quadrupole ion trap (QIT) collision induced dissociation (CID) product ion experiments with [Mn + Na]+ ions (n = 1, 2, 3, 5) and [arginine + Na]+ were conducted. The fragmentation behavior of the sodium adduct ions provides indirect evidence for a change in structure varying from predominantly charge-solvation of non-ionic molecules (M1, M2 and arginine), to salt-bridge interactions of zwitterionic structures of Mn for n = 3, 5.Second, the sodium affinities (Δ) of the compounds Mn were related to the known literature value of arginine by examination of the CID fragmentation behavior of heterodimer ions [Mn + arginine + Na]+ and [Mn + Mm + Na]+ (n ≠ m and n, m = 2, 3, 5) in a QIT. The relative ordering of sodium affinities (Δ): M5 ≥ arginine > M3 > M2 can be deduced from the relative abundances of [Mn,m + Na]+ and [arg + Na]+ product ions. The maximum sodium affinity of M5 relative to the reference value of arginine strongly supports the assumption of a gas-phase zwitterionic structure.Third, the dimeric sodium adduct ions [2Mn + Na]+ of M2, M3 and M5 dissociate upon IR activation in FT-ICR MS exclusively into the respective monomeric sodium adduct ion [Mn + Na]+. Hence, the establishment of a relative ordering of the gas-phase dissociation energy barriers for the disruption of the non-covalent bond of the complexes by IRMPD-FT-ICR MS was conducted. We find the dimeric complex ion [2M3 + Na]+ more stable than the respective complexes of M2 and M5. Hence, the stability of the examined complex ions [2Mn + Na]+ is obviously strongly determined by the various possible non-covalent interactions between the two respective molecules Mn. The MS study supports the assumption that Mn molecules with n ≥ 3 are able to conserve zwitterionic structures in the gas phase.

T1 - Temperature dependence of secondary ion emission from tantalum produced by atomic and polyatomic gold projectiles JO - International Journal of Mass Spectrometry JF - International Journal of Mass Spectrometry Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 237 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 55 EP - 63 SN - 13873806 AB - Temperature dependencies have been measured within a wide range of target temperatures of 300K ≤ T ≤ 2400K for secondary ion yields of Tan+, TanOm+, TanNb+ and TanAu+ (n = 1–14, m = 1–3) under the bombardment of tantalum target with 12keV atomic Au- and 18keV polyatomic Au3- projectiles. It is demonstrated that yields of Tan+ (n = 2–14) and TanNb+ ions increase with temperature for T ≤ 1700K and then tend to become temperature independent. On the contrary, the yields of TanOm+ and TanAu+ ions slightly increase with temperature reaching their maxima in the range of 1000K ≤ T ≤ 1500K and then sharply decrease to zero at T ≉ 1700 and 2100K, respectively. These trends are interpreted to indicate the redistribution of the sputtered flux between these different emission channels while sputtering conditions change with the target temperature. Oxygen presence on the surface at lower temperatures limits the yield of Tan+ clusters and stimulates that of TanOm+. Removing oxygen from the surface enhances the yield of Tan+ clusters and the disappearance of TanOm+. After clean surfaces are established in the range of 1700K ≤ T ≤ 2400K, the yield of the Tan+ and TanNb+ cluster ions becomes constant thus indicating that their ionization probability does not depend on the target temperature in this range. Some differences in the temperature dependencies obtained under the atomic and polyatomic ion bombardment are observed and interpreted as the indication of different efficiencies of the sputtering process since polyatomic projectiles sputter more material than atomic ones. This, in addition to better surface cleaning, enhances yields of cluster ions. For atomic ions Ta+, an additional emission channel, thermal evaporation/surface ionization, is identified at target temperatures T > 2300K. No evaporated cluster ions are observed.

The mechanism of these behaviors is not well understood. Our prior studies with positron emission tomography (PET) in drug-addicted subjects documented reductions in striatal dopamine (DA) D2 receptors. In pathologically obese subjects, we found reductions in striatal DA D2 receptors similar to that in drug-addicted subjects. Moreover, DA D2 receptor levels were found to have an inverse relationship to the body mass index of the obese subjects. We postulated that decreased levels of DA D2 receptors predisposed subjects to search for reinforcers; in the case of drug-addicted subjects for the drug and in the case of the obese subjects for food as a means to temporarily compensate for a decreased sensitivity of DA D2 regulated reward circuits. Understanding the mechanism in food intake will help to suggest strategies for the treatment of obesity.

Several loop shapes, one with a positive angle of attack, one with a negative angle of attack, and two symmetrical loops with zero angle of attack are studied. For each loop, we compute the vertical drag component, i.e., the "lift." It is found that a loop with a positive angle of attack generates lift about four rimes larger than a symmetrical loop. Thus, loops with positive angles of attack stay "aerialized longer" which is consistent with observations made by (competition) distance fly casters.

Thus, general solutions to the nonhomogeneous heat equation, obtained in a robust form through finite Fourier transforms, provide an easy approach to solving the ambipolar transport equation, which previously had been solved with more difficulty through Laplace transform techniques. We then obtain a general analytic one-dimensional time-dependent solution to the excess carrier and current densities in a pn junction diode in response to a transient radiation or light pulse under low-injection conditions. We derive most of the known analytic solutions to this problem and we examine the limiting behavior of these solutions to show that they are consistent. The model includes the effects of a constant electric field in the quasineutral region, a finite diode length, and an arbitrary generation function in terms of space and time. In the area of light communication, we use the model to examine the impact of doping parameters on the buildup of diffusive photocurrent that limits the signal bandwidth. Solutions to the ambipolar diffusion equation assuming more general initial and boundary conditions are easily obtained via the given transformation. The model may be applied to problems involving photodiodes, light-emitting diode or laser communication, transient radiation effects in microelectronics, dosimetry, or the response of solar cells to light.

The parameters are related to macroscopic hysteresis features such as coercivity, initial susceptibility, saturation, and remanence and identification strategies are presented for static and dynamic magnetization processes. Furthermore, the model parameters are related to spontaneous magnetization, magnetocrystalline anisotropy, magnetostriction, and microstructure geometry which assist in the interpretation of the hysteresis dependence on stress, temperature, and direction of magnetization. Examples and predictions are the magnetization reversal in low dimensional structures, stress demagnetization, temporary decay of magnetization, Barkhausen noise, and the behavior of materials with multiple phases. Finally, the fictitious statistical domains (or unit magnetization reversals) are related to the magnetic spin moments, which enables a quantum-mechanical interpretation of the model.

The sensor is structurally integrated, i.e., individually addressable organic light-emitting device (OLED) pixels (serving as the light source) and the sensing element are fabricated on glass or plastic substrates attached back-to-back. This results in a very compact, potentially miniaturizable sensor, which should strongly impact PL-based biosensor technology. The sensing element is an oxygen-sensitive dye coembedded with glucose oxidase in a thin film or dissolved in solution. The glucose biosensor is demonstrated for two OLED/dye pairs: [blue OLED]/[Ru dye] and [green OLED]/[Pt dye]. Both PL-intensity and PL-lifetime modes are demonstrated for each pair; the lifetime mode eliminates the need for frequent sensor calibration. The sensor performance is evaluated in terms of design, dynamic range, limit of detection, and stability. The use of the glucose biosensor in conjunction with an oxygen sensor is also discussed.

These films show a high deposition rate of 5 Å/s, a low processing temperature of 300 °C, an excellent conformal coverage, a low etching rate of 7 Å/min, an index of refraction of 2.1, an optical band gap of 4.0 eV, and a high breakdown field of 3 MV/cm. The effects of hydrogen dilution, substrate temperature, chamber pressure, and filament temperature on silicon nitride film property were studied to optimize the process. We found that adding H2 to the processing significantly enhances the silicon nitride films’ properties. The N content in the film increased significantly based on the infrared measurement. Hydrogen dilution is believed to play a key role for the conformal silicon nitride film. Hydrogen dilution also improves the process in that the gas ratio of NH3/SiH4 has been greatly reduced with the assistance of the H2 gas. With substrate temperatures varying from 23° to 400 °C, this study showed a best film at near 300 °C. However, a good-quality silicon nitride can be grown even if starting with a substrate at room temperature. Furthermore, we found that increasing chamber pressure and a high filament temperature result in higher deposition rate and better quality in the films. The optimized films were grown with hydrogen dilution at about 300 °C substrate temperature, 83 mTorr pressure, and 2100 °C filament temperature.

The complete active space multiconfiguration self-consistent field method followed by multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction (MRSDCI) calculations that included up to 52×106 configuration spin functions have been used to compute several electronic states of these clusters. The ground states of both Nb4 (1A′, pyramidal) and Nb4- (2B3g, rhombus) are low-spin states at the MRSDCI level. The ground state of Nb5 cluster is a doublet with a distorted trigonal bipyramid (DTB) structure. The anionic cluster of Nb5 has two competitive ground states with singlet and triplet multiplicities (DTB). The low-lying electronic states of these clusters have been found to be distorted due to Jahn-Teller effect. On the basis of the energy separations of our computed electronic states of Nb4 and Nb5, we have assigned the observed photoelectron spectrum of Nbn- (n=4,5) clusters. We have also compared our MRSDCI results with density functional calculations. The electron affinity, ionization potential, dissociation and atomization energies of Nb4 and Nb5 have been calculated and the results have been found to be in excellent agreement with the experiment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Here we describe in detail our development of inherently phase-stabilized 2D Fourier-transform spectroscopy for electronic transitions. A diffractive-optic setup is used to realize heterodyne-detected femtosecond four-wave mixing in a phase-matched box geometry. Wavelength tunability in the visible range is accomplished by means of a 3 kHz repetition-rate laser system and optical parametric amplification. Nonlinear signals are fully characterized by spectral interferometry. Starting from fundamental principles, we discuss the origin of phase stability and the precise calibration of excitation-pulse time delays using movable glass wedges. Automated subtraction of undesired scattering terms removes experimental artifacts. On the theoretical side, the response-function formalism is extended to describe molecules with three electronic levels, and the shape of 2D spectral features is discussed. As an example for this technique, experimental 2D spectra are shown for the dye molecule Nile Blue in acetonitrile at 595 nm, recorded for a series of population times. Simulations explore the influence of different model parameters and qualitatively reproduce the experimental results. We show that correlations between different electronically excited states can be determined from the spectra. The technique described here can be used to measure the third-order response function of complex systems covering several electronic transitions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The heat capacity of solid PLA is linked to its group vibrational spectrum and the skeletal vibrations, the latter being described by a Tarasov equation with Θ1=574 K, Θ2=Θ3=52 K, and nine skeletal vibrations. The calculated and experimental heat capacities agree to ±3% between T=(5 and 300) K. The experimental heat capacity of liquid PLA can be expressed by Cp(liquid)=(120.17+0.076T) J · K-1 · mol-1 and has been compared to the ATHAS Data Bank, using contributions of other polymers with the same constituent groups. The glass transition temperature of amorphous PLA occurs at T=332.5 K with a change in heat capacity of 43.8 J · K-1 · mol-1. Depending on thermal history, semi-crystalline PLA has a melting endotherm between T=(418 and 432) K with variable heats of fusion. For 100% crystalline PLA, the heat of fusion is estimated to be (6.55 ± 0.02) kJ · mol-1 at T=480 K. With these results, the enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs function of crystalline and amorphous PLA were obtained. For semi-crystalline samples, one can check changes of crystallinity with temperature and judge the presence of rigid-amorphous fractions.

These CNTs show high purity, uniform diameters and pore-wall thickness. Low temperature nitrogen adsorption was employed to characterize the structural and surface properties of the as-synthesized sample and that modified with boiling concentrated nitric acid. The adsorption characteristics of the as-synthesized and modified CNTs were thoroughly investigated. High-resolution comparative αs-plot showed that the nitrogen adsorption on CNTs takes place via a multistage mechanism closely related to their structures. It was also found that the acid modification significantly increased the adsorption energy and enhanced the adsorption capacity under low pressures. High-resolution comparative method provided valuable insights about the surface and pore structures of CNTs.

This new approach uses reconstructions on the coarse faces together with the divergence-free condition to reconstruct the field values on the internal fine faces. It does not construct a global interpolation polynomial over a whole coarse cell. Therefore, it can be easily applied to any refinement ratio. It is implemented via a directionally splitting approach so that it can be applied to any kind of grids and in any dimensions. Implementation is presented in the Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical geometries. It is shown by several 2D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations that such a method can keep the divergence-free error of magnetic fields at the round-off level.

We apply this same analysis to the Fleck–Cummings, Carter–Forest, and N''kaoua Monte Carlo approximations for grey (frequency-independent) radiative transfer. Although Monte Carlo simulation usually does not require the discretizations found in deterministic transport techniques, Monte Carlo methods for radiative transfer require a time discretization due to the nonlinearities of the problem. If an asymptotic analysis of the equations used by a particular Monte Carlo method yields an accurate time-discretized version of the equilibrium diffusion equation, the method should generate accurate solutions if a time discretization is chosen that resolves temperature changes, even if the time steps are much larger than the mean-free time of a photon. This analysis is of interest because in many radiative transfer problems, it is a practical necessity to use time steps that are large compared to a mean-free time. Our asymptotic analysis shows that: (i) the N''kaoua method has the equilibrium diffusion limit, (ii) the Carter–Forest method has the equilibrium diffusion limit if the material temperature change during a time step is small, and (iii) the Fleck–Cummings method does not have the equilibrium diffusion limit. We include numerical results that verify our theoretical predictions.

The result is proved via an inductive argument, together with an extension of a lower bound method of Ambainis. Ambainis’ method involves viewing a quantum computation as a mapping from inputs to quantum states (unit vectors in a complex inner-product space) which changes as the computation proceeds. Initially the mapping is constant (the state is independent of the input). If the computation evalutes the function f then at the end of the computation the two states associated with any f-distinguished pair of inputs (having different f values) are nearly orthogonal. Thus the inner product of their associated states must have changed from 1 to nearly 0. For any set of f-distinguished pairs of inputs, the sum of the inner products of the corresponding pairs of states must decrease significantly during the computation, By deriving an upper bound on the decrease in such a sum, during a single step, for a carefully selected set of input pairs, one can obtain a lower bound on the number of steps.We extend Ambainis’ bound by considering general weighted sums of f-distinguished pairs. We then prove our result for read-once functions by induction on the number of variables, where the induction step involves a careful choice of weights depending on f to optimize the lower bound attained.

Field data collected from the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, a repository site of high-level nuclear waste, show a large number of small-scale fractures. The effect of these small fractures has not been considered in previous modeling investigations within the context of a continuum approach. A new triple-continuum model (consisting of matrix, small-fracture, and large-fracture continua) has been developed to investigate the effect of these small fractures. This paper derives the model formulation and discusses the basic triple-continuum behavior of flow and transport processes under different conditions, using both analytical solutions and numerical approaches. The simulation results from the site-scale model of the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain indicate that these small fractures may have an important effect on radionuclide transport within the mountain.

Hydrodynamic coupling is shown to be the dominating effect, while the electrostatic influence may often be neglected. Some observations, however, can be explained only by means of a combined electrostatic-hydrodynamic model, which is derived in this work. The combined model is able to predict not only the attractive force between particles of similar charge close to a charged plate but also the change to a purely repulsive force once the sphere-plate distance is further reduced. This prediction matches qualitatively results of experiments reported in the literature.

Results indicate that at a relatively low surfactant concentration (1 × 10-3-1 × 10-6M), cationic surfactants significantly affected the growth of silica particles as measured by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopic analyses. In contrast, the anionic and nonionic surfactants showed relatively minor effects in the low concentration range. The magnitude of negative zeta potential was reduced for silica colloids that were synthesized in the presence of cationic surfactant because of charge neutralization. The presence of anionic surfactants only slightly increased the negative zeta potential while the nonionic surfactant showed no obvious effects. At high surfactant concentrations (> 1 × 10-3 M), cationic and anionic surfactants both induced colloid aggregation, while the nonionic surfactant showed no effect on particle size. Raman spectroscopic analysis suggests that molecules of cationic surfactants adsorb on silica surfaces via head groups, aided by favorable electrostatic attraction, while molecules of anionic and nonionic surfactants adsorb via their hydrophobic tails.

The LIBS method was used effectively to determine the elemental concentration of carbon and nitrogen in soils, and the presence of metal contaminants in invertebrates. The P-RAMS method was used in exploratory studies to assess prominent molecular vibration peaks from the same soils analyzed using LIBS. The P-RAMS spectra for the different soils show a close relationship to the fraction of organic carbon in soils. Our results demonstrate that these techniques greatly facilitate elemental analysis of heterogeneous environmental and biological matrices by reducing sample preparation and analysis times. These techniques can also provide semi-quantitative results on a regular basis and quantitative results in particular cases.

Buoyancy characteristics of CO2 hydrate particles obtained from a coflow reactor operating under conditions that produce negatively buoyant CO2 hydrate composite particles were studied. Using a simplified process model, the limiting ratios of CO2 to water to produce sinking hydrate composite streams were established for pressure and temperature conditions of intermediate ocean depths. A kinetic model involving a mass transfer step and a reaction step was proposed to explain experimental data using a seafloor process simulator. Results suggest that the reactor operates under mass-transfer controlled conditions. Although the density of freshwater is only a few percentage units less than that of seawater, operating conditions derived from freshwater-based studies are significantly different for ambient seawater. Owing to the higher density of seawater, greater conversion of CO2 to hydrate is needed to obtain a sinking CO2 composite stream than at the same depth of freshwater.

Double triangle and composite hydrograph models fit these flow events relatively well, with mean efficiency≈0.7. The composite hydrograph model is slightly preferable to the double triangle model for having one less parameter and a built-in method for quantifying base flow. A strong linear relationship was found between upstream and downstream flow volumes (R2=0.99,p<0.001), and a linearized exponential decay model for channel infiltration was used to estimate flow loss to infiltration as 19% of volume per km. As compared to the humid and semiarid environments where most of these techniques have been previously applied, the colder and more arid setting of Hanford produces runoff much less frequently and has greater channel infiltration capacity.

Parametric temporal trend models of precipitation are first established at the available rain gauges. Temporal trend model parameters are then regionalized in space accounting for their spatial auto- and cross-correlation, as well as for their relationships with auxiliary spatial information such as terrain elevation. The resulting residual values at the rain gauges are modeled as a realization of a stationary spatiotemporal process. Sequential simulation is then used to generate alternative synthetic realizations of daily precipitation fields, which reproduce: (i) the rain gauge measurements, and (ii) their histogram and a model for their spatiotemporal correlation over the entire study region and time period of interest. In addition, a post-processing transformation allows reproduction of the rainfall histogram at particular dates, while preserving the observed rain gauge data.A case study illustrates the applicability of the proposed methodology using daily precipitation measurements recorded at 77 rain gauges in the northern California coastal region from Nov 1, 1981 to Jan 31, 1982. Conditional stochastic simulation in space and time is performed for generating a 30-member ensemble of daily precipitation fields on a 300×360 grid of cell size 1 km2 for the above time period. It is shown that simulated precipitation fields reproduce the spatiotemporal characteristics of the rain gauge measurements, thus providing realistic inputs of precipitation forcing for hydrologic impact assessment studies.

The system uses a pre-polarizing field from 4 to 30 mT generated by simple room-temperature wire-wound coils that are turned off during measurements. The instrument has an open geometry with samples located outside the cryostat at room-temperature. This removes constraints on sample size and allows us to obtain signals from living tissue. We have obtained 1H NMR spectra from a variety of samples including water, mineral oil, and a live frog. We also acquired gradient encoded free induction decay (FID) data from a water-plastic phantom in the μT regime, from which simple projection images were reconstructed. NMR signals from samples inside metallic containers have also been acquired. This is possible because the penetration skin depth is much greater at the low operating frequencies of this system than for conventional systems. Advantages to ultra-low field NMR measurements include lower susceptibility artifacts caused by high strength polarizing and measurement fields, and negligible line width broadening due to measurement field inhomogeneity, reducing the burden of producing highly homogeneous fields.

This is for the case of equal masses and potential strengths. The interactions are replaced by appropriate boundary conditions. This leads then to requiring the solution of a free-particle Schrödinger equation subject to these boundary conditions. A generalized Kontorovich–Lebedev transformation is used to write this solution as an integral involving a product of Bessel functions and pseudo-Sturmian functions. The coefficient of the product is obtained from a three-term recurrence relation, derived from the boundary condition. The contours of the Kontorovich–Lebedev representation are fixed by the asymptotic conditions. The scattering matrix is then derived from the exact solution of the recurrence relation. The wavefunctions that are obtained are shown to be equivalent to those derived by McGuire. The method can clearly be applied to a larger number of particles and hopefully might be useful for unequal masses and potentials.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

An Xe particle about 1 nm in size had different structural properties from those 2–6 nm in sizes. Some 1-nm Xe particles had an face-centred cubic (f.c.c.) structure with the same orientation as the Al matrix, whereas others of the same size had a non-f.c.c. structure. The lattice parameters of a 1-nm f.c.c. Xe particle were about 20% smaller than the average value obtained from electron diffraction, i.e. the particle was compressed by about 80%. The lattice parameters of Xe crystals about 2 nm to about 6 nm in size were almost the same as those obtained from diffraction results. One of the reasons for the extra compression seen with a 1-nm Xe particle is the increase in pressure inside an Xe particle with decreasing particle size.

Upper levels of hot bands originating from the ν2 and ν4 bending mode states have been found to couple strongly to the upper levels of the IR-inactive ν1 symmetric stretch through indirect Coriolis interactions and Fermi resonances. Coriolis coupling effects are particularly noticeable in 32S18O3 due to the close proximity of the ν2 and ν4 fundamental vibrations, whose deperturbed wavenumber values are 486.48813(4) and 504.28477(4) cm-1. The uncertainties in the last digits are shown in parentheses and are two standard deviations. From the infrared transitions, accurate rovibrational constants are deduced for all of the mixed states, leading to deperturbed values for ν1, α1B, and α1C of 1004.68(2), 0.000713(2), and 0.000348(2) cm-1, respectively. The Be value is found to be 0.310820(2) cm-1, yielding an equilibrium bond length re of 141.7333(4) pm that is, within experimental uncertainty, identical to the value of 141.7339(3) pm reported previously for 34S18O3. With this work, precise and accurate spectroscopic constants have now been determined in a systematic and consistent manner for all the fundamental vibrational modes of the sulfur trioxide D3h isotopomeric forms 32S16O3, 34S16O3, 32S18O3, and 34S18O3.

They conclude that alpha particle-induced reduction of Pu(VI) is contrary to the experimental observations. It is shown here that, with the exception of results at pH 6, the authors have misinterpreted the published data. It is also demonstrated that the published data are in agreement with the generally accepted alpha-reduction mechanism.

T1 - Repair of rabbit segmental defects with the thrombin peptide, TP508 JO - Journal of Orthopaedic Research JF - Journal of Orthopaedic Research Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 22 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1094 EP - 1099 SN - 07360266 AB - The synthetic peptide, TP508 (Chrysalin®), was delivered to rabbit segmental bone defects in biodegradable controlled-release PLGA microspheres to determine its potential efficacy for enhancing healing of non-critically and critically sized segmental defects. Non-critically sized radial defects were created in the forelimbs of New Zealand White rabbits, which were randomized into three treatment groups receiving 10, 50 and 100 μg doses of TP508 in the right radius and control microspheres (without TP508) in the left radius. Torsional testing of the radii at six weeks showed a significant increase in ultimate torque, failure torque, ultimate energy, failure energy, and stiffness when treated with TP508 compared to controls (p<0.01 for all measures). Thus, TP508 appeared to enhance or accelerate bone growth in these defects.In a second set of experiments, critically sized ulnar defects were created in the forelimbs of New Zealand White rabbits, which were randomized into two groups with each rabbit receiving microspheres with 100 or 200 μg of TP508 into the right ulnar defect and control microspheres (without TP508) alone into the left ulnar defect. Bone healing was evaluated with plain radiographs, synchrotron-based microtomography, and mechanical testing. Radiographs of the rabbit limbs scored by three blinded, independent reviewers demonstrated a significantly higher degree of healing when treated with TP508 than their untreated control limbs (p<0.05). Three-dimensional synchrotron tomography of a limited number of samples showed that the new bone in TP508-treated samples had a less porous surface appearance and open marrow spaces, suggesting progression of bone remodeling. Torsional testing of the ulnae at nine weeks showed a significant increase in maximum torque and failure energy when treated with TP508 compared to controls (p<0.01 for both measures). These results suggest that TP508 in a controlled release delivery vehicle has the potential to enhance healing of segmental defects in both critically and non-critically sized defects.

During the catalytic hydrogenation of ethylene to ethane in the absence of CO the metal surfaces are covered by an adsorbate layer that is very mobile on the time scale of STM imaging. We found that the addition of CO poisons the hydrogenation reaction and induces ordered structures on the single-crystal surfaces. Several ordered structures were observed upon CO addition to the surfaces precovered with hydrogen and ethylene: a rotated ([inline equation] × [inline equation] )R23.4° on Pt(111), and domains of c(4 × 2)-CO + C2H3, previously unobserved (4 × 2)-CO + 3C2H3, and (2 × 2)-3CO on Rh(111). A mechanism for CO poisoning of ethylene hydrogenation on the metal single crystals was proposed, in which CO blocks surface metal sites and reduces adsorbate mobility to limit adsorption and reaction rate of ethylene and hydrogen.

JO - Journal of Physical Oceanography JF - Journal of Physical Oceanography Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 34 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2006 EP - 2026 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00223670 AB - Overflows are bottom gravity currents that supply dense water masses generated in high-latitude and marginal seas into the general circulation. Oceanic observations have revealed that mixing of overflows with ambient water masses takes place over small spatial and time scales. Studies with ocean general circulation models indicate that the strength of the thermohaline circulation is strongly sensitive to representation of overflows in these models. In light of these results, overflow-induced mixing emerges as one of the prominent oceanic processes. In this study, as a continuation of an effort to develop appropriate process models for overflows, nonhydrostatic 3D simulations of bottom gravity are carried out that would complement analysis of dedicated observations and large-scale ocean modeling. A parallel high-order spectral-element Navier­Stokes solver is used as the basis of the simulations. Numerical experiments are conducted in an idealized setting focusing on the startup phase of a dense water mass released at the top of a sloping wedge. Results from 3D experiments are compared with results from 2D experiments and laboratory experiments, based on propagation speed of the density front, growth rate of the characteristic head at the leading edge, turbulent overturning length scales, and entrainment parameters. Results from 3D experiments are found to be in general agreement with those from laboratory tank experiments. In 2D simulations, the propagation speed is approximately 20% slower than that of the 3D experiments and the head growth rate is 3 times as large, Thorpe scales are 1.3–1.5 times as large, and the entrainment parameter is up to 2 times as large as those in the 3D experiments. The differences between 2D and 3D simulations are entirely due to internal factors associated with the truncation of the Navier­Stokes equations for 2D approximation.

Four spectra of high-purity (99.8%) HCN together with three spectra of lean mixtures (∼3%) of HCN in dry air were simultaneously fit using a multispectrum nonlinear least-squares procedure. The analysis yielded room temperature values for absolute intensities, self- and air-broadening coefficients, and self- and air-induced pressure shift coefficients for numerous lines in the 2ν20 band of H12C14N. In addition, intensities, self- and air-broadening coefficients for several lines of the 3ν21-ν21 hot band, as well as intensities for a number of lines in the 2ν20 band of H13C14N, were also determined. Since there are no previous measurements of broadening and shift parameters reported in the 2ν20 band, our results are compared with values recently determined in the ν1 band of H12C14N and with current HITRAN values.

Gasoline vehicles included normal particle mass (particulate matter [PM]) emitters (tested at 72 and 30 Fahrenheit), "black" and "white" smokers, and a new-technology vehicle (tested at 72 Fahrenheit). Diesel vehicles included current-technology vehicles (tested at 72 and 30 Fahrenheit)and a high PM emitter. Total PM emission rates ranged from below 3 mg/mi up to more than 700 mg/mi for the white smoker gasoline vehicle. Emission rates of organic and elemental carbon (OC/EC), elements (metals and associated analytes), ions, and a variety of particulate and semi-volatile organic compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAH] nitro-PAH, oxy-PAH, hopanes, and steranes) are reported for these vehicles. Speciated organic analysis also was conducted on the fuels and lube oils obtained from these vehicles after the emissions testing. The compositions of emissions were highly dependent on the fuel type (gasoline vs. diesel), the state of vehicle maintenance (low, average, or high emitters; white or black smokers), and ambient conditions (i.e., temperature) of the vehicles. Fuel and oil analyses from these vehicles showed that oil served as a repository for combustion byproducts (e.g. PAH), and oil-burning gasoline vehicles emitted PAH in higher concentrations than did other vehicles. These PAH emissions matched the PAH compositions observed in oil.

JO - Journal of the American Ceramic Society JF - Journal of the American Ceramic Society Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 87 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1669 EP - 1676 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00027820 AB - YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films were fabricated via a fluorine- free metal organic deposition (MOD) method followed by high-temperature, low oxygen partial pressure annealing. Trimethyl acetate salts of copper, yttrium, and barium hydroxide were used as the precursors, which were dissolved in proponic acid- and amine-based solvents. After spin-coating and burn-out, samples were annealed at 740°C in 180 ppm oxygen partial pressure and exposed to humid atmosphere for different times. A critical transition temperature, Tc(R=0) of 90.2 K and a transport critical current density (Jc) of 0.55 MA/cm² (77 K and self-field) were obtained for 0.2 µm YBCO films on CeO2-buffered yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. X-ray studies shows that the YBCO films have sharp In-plane and out-of-plane texture for all samples; however, the porosity of the YBCO film varies with the time of exposure to the humid atmosphere. A reaction between YRCO and CeO2 during the high-temperature anneals and formation of the reaction product BaCeO3 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The XRD and transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that the epitaxial relations in the film were YRCO (00l)//CeO2 (00l)/YSZ (00l) and YBCO [10l]//CeO2 [110]//YSZ [110].

The single-component molecular crystal consisting of neutral metal complex molecules exhibits metallic behavior down to 0.6 K. The crystal has a very simple structure with only one molecule in the unit cell, where all the centers of molecules are on the lattice points. In addition, the existence of many intermolecular contacts much shorter than the van der Waals contacts suggests that in the crystal, the molecules assemble by interactions stronger than the Van der Waals interactions, that is, metallic bonds.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part B JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part B Y1 - 2004/09//Sep/Oct2004 VL - 7 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 385 EP - 398 SN - 10937404 AB - The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) has completed 2-yr inhalation exposures in rats and mice with 2-butoxyethanol (BE). This review concerns the most significant findings from those studies and describes recent research into the mechanistic aspects of BE-mediated tumorigenesis in the mouse and the relevance of such effects to humans. Two tumor types were increased in B6C3F1 mice leading to the classification of “some evidence” of carcinogenicity: liver hemangiosarcomas in male mice and forestomach tumors in female mice (primarily benign papillomas). The results of research collected to date indicate that the tumorigenesis noted for BE was produced by indirect mechanisms. In particular, the occurrence of liver hemangiosarcomas in male mice has been linked to oxidative damage subsequent to red blood cell hemolysis and iron deposition in this organ. Oral administration of BE in mice up to 600 mg/kg/d for up to 90 d produces a dose-related increase in iron (Perl’s staining) in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes, increased DNA synthesis in endothelial cells, and enhanced oxidative damage. Further, iron alone, and not BE or BAA, is responsible for producing oxidative damage in cultured hepatocytes from rats or mice. Forestomach neoplasms in female mice were most likely a result of prolonged exposure-induced irritation with compensatory hyperplasia and subsequent tumor promotion. This mechanism is supported by studies indicating elevated levels of BE and BAA in the mouse forestomach tissues and stomach contents following multiple routes of exposure, forestomach epithelial cell cytotoxicity and cell proliferation following administration of BE and BAA, and the increased capacity of forestomach tissues from female mice to metabolize BE to the more irritating metabolite, BAA. The current article summarizes the results of a number of in vivo and in vitro studies designed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis by BE in the mouse and discusses the relevance of these for human risk.

In particular, the refined modal testing methodology focuses on using Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC®) patches as both actuators and sensors. MFC® patches can be integrated in an unobtrusive way into the skin of the torus, and can be used to find a gossamer structure''s modal parameters. Furthermore, MFC® excitation produces less interference with the suspension modes of the free–free torus than excitations from a conventional shaker. The use of multiple actuators is shown to properly excite the global modes of the structure and distinguish between pairs of modes at nearly identical resonant frequencies. Formulation of the MIMO test as well as the required post-processing techniques are studied and successfully applied to an inflated Kapton® torus.

We use the optimal prediction method to construct equations for the reduced system. The resulting equations for the resolved components of the solution are random integrodifferential equations. The accuracy of the predictions depends on the type of projection used in the integral term of the optimal prediction equations and on the choice of resolved components. The novel features of our work include the first application of the optimal prediction formalism for the dimensional reduction of a nonlinear, non-Hamiltonian system of equations and the use of a noninvariant measure constructed through inference from empirical data.

In [J. Nonlinear Sci., 14 (2004), pp. 59-91], the authors of this paper showed that each iteration of the CSP algorithm improves the approximation of the slow manifold by one order. In this paper, it is shown that the CSP method simultaneously approximates the tangent spaces to the fast fibers along which solutions relax to the slow manifold. Again, each iteration adds one order of accuracy. In some studies, the output of the CSP algorithm is postprocessed by linearly projecting initial data onto the slow manifold along these approximate tangent spaces. These projections, in turn, also become successively more accurate.

This uncertainty (randomness) occurs on a multiplicity of scales. We focus on random composites with the two dominant scales of uncertainty: large-scale uncertainty in the spatial arrangement of materials and small-scale uncertainty in the parameters within each material. We propose an approach that combines random domain decompositions and polynomial chaos expansions to account for the large and small scales of uncertainty, respectively. We present a general framework and use one-dimensional diffusion to demonstrate that our combined approach provides robust, nonperturbative approximations for the statistics of system states.

Our goal in this study was to determine where this occurs in the context of histologically defined breast cancer progression. To this end, we assessed genome instability (using fluorescence in situ hybridization) and other features associated with telomere crisis in normal ductal epithelium, usual ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive cancer. We modeled this process in vitro by measuring these same features in human mammary epithelial cell cultures during ZNF217-mediated transition through telomere crisis and immortalization. Taken together, the data suggest that transition through telomere crisis and immortalization in breast cancer occurs during progression from usual ductal hyperplasia to ductal carcinoma in situ.

Embrittlement of copper by bismuth is a classic example of this phenomenon. Because brittle fracture in any structural material can involve human tragedy, a better understanding of the mechanisms behind it is of the highest interest. In this study, we use a combination of two state-of-the-art atomic characterization techniques and ab initio theoretical materials simulations to investigate the geometric and electronic structure of a copper grain boundary with and without bismuth. Only with this unique combination of methods are we able to observe the actual distribution of bismuth in the boundary and detect changes in the electronic structure caused by the bismuth impurity. We find that the copper atoms that surround the segregated bismuth in the grain boundary become embrittled by taking on a more zinc-like electronic structure.

Hill) toxins via diet has been shown to induce neurodegeneration in vivo that mimics the progressive neurological disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis–parkinsonism dementia complex (ALS–PDC). In previous studies, specific cortical and subcortical cell loss was measured with conventional stained sections. In the present study, magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy was used to examine neurodegeneration in three dimensions (3D) in isolated intact brains and spinal cords. Mice were fed washed cycad for 2 months and showed progressive motor deficits resembling human ALS–PDC. CNS tissue was imaged at 17.6 T. T2* scans were acquired on both spinal cord and brain samples with an isotropic resolution of 41 μm. Through MR volumetrics, cycad-fed mice showed significantly decreased volumes in lumbar spinal cord gray matter, substantia nigra, striatum, basal nucleus/internal capsule, and olfactory bulb. Cortical measurements of conventionally stained sections revealed that cycad-fed mice also showed decreased cortical thickness. These results show that MR microscopy (MRM) is sensitive enough to measure degeneration in this early stage model of a progressive neurological disease with strong correlations to behavioral deficits and histological results and may be applicable in vivo to the same model. Similar analysis may be used in the future as a diagnostic aid in tracking the early progression of neurological disorders in preclinical human subjects.

While dynamic imaging and a metabolite-corrected blood input function can be used to determine striatal FMT uptake rate constants (Ki), a simpler analytic approach using shorter imaging times is desirable for clinical studies. We compared the utility of using striatal Ki values versus striatal count ratios in two groups of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated monkeys. Striatal DA content was also measured in one of the groups to evaluate the relationship between the PET measures and an independent measure of striatal dopamine. Striatal Ki values were significantly correlated with striatal count ratios using the cerebellum as the denominator. Both Ki values and ratios were also correlated with striatal DA content. In addition, putamen–cerebellum ratios and putamen Ki values showed similar separation between baseline and post-MPTP values. These findings suggest that a simple ratio approach to analyzing FMT PET data may be a useful alternative to a kinetic approach especially for clinical applications.

In particular, the occurrence of space charge sign inversion (SCSI) can be related to signal discontinuities in TSC and CT measurements. This approach has been adopted in this work to study devices made of standard Float Zone (FZ) and Diffusion Oxygenated Float Zone silicon, irradiated by γ-rays up to a dose of 300 Mrad. Our study shows that all the samples are inverted at 50 K after a low-temperature excitation. Several space charge sign inversions, from positive to negative and vice versa, have been observed between cryogenic and room temperature, and have been related to carriers emission from dominating deep traps. Only standard FZ silicon remains inverted at room temperature after a dose of 300 Mrad.

The mercury laser, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is the most prominent system using Yb:S-FAP and is currently producing 23 J at 5 Hz in a 15 nsec pulse, based on partial activation of the system. In addition, a regenerative amplifier is being developed at Waseda University in Japan and has produced greater than 12 mJ with high beam quality at 50 Hz repetition rate. Q-Peak has demonstrated 16 mJ of maximum energy/output pulse in a multi-pass, diode side-pumped amplifier and ELSA in France is implementing Yb:S-FAP in a 985 nm pump for an EDFA, producing 250 mW. Growth of high optical quality crystals of Yb:S-FAP is a challenge due to multiple crystalline defects. However, at this time, a growth process has been developed to produce high quality 3.5 cm diameter Yb:S-FAP crystals and a process is under development for producing 6.5 cm diameter crystals.

However, most commercially available substrates have large lattice and thermal expansion mismatches to III-nitrides films. Thus a high quality buffer layer, grown at low temperatures, is essential in growing high quality III-nitride films. This research provides a throughout study on III-nitrides, such as AlN, GaN and AlGaN thin films, which were grown at low temperatures (400–600 °C). Growth rate, stoichiometry and crystal structure of low temperature growth films will be reported by using several advanced post-growth analysis techniques. Temperature, pressure, and V/III molar ratio were also investigated to determine their effect on the film properties. From the study, a better understanding of the relationships between film properties and growth parameters will be achieved.

When completed, NIF will be the world''s largest and most energetic laser experimental system, providing an international center to study inertial confinement fusion and the physics of matter at extreme energy densities and pressures. NIF''s 192 energetic laser beams will compress fusion targets to conditions required for thermonuclear burn, liberating more energy than required to initiate the fusion reactions. Other NIF experiments will allow the study of physical processes at temperatures approaching 108 K and 1011 Bar, conditions that exist naturally only in the interior of stars, planets and in nuclear weapons. NIF is now entering the first phases of its laser commissioning program. The first four beams of the NIF laser system have generated 106 kJ of infrared light and over 10 kJ at the third harmonic (351 nm). NIF''s target experimental systems are also being installed in preparation for experiments to begin in late 2003. This paper provides a detailed look the NIF laser systems, the significant laser and optical systems breakthroughs that were developed, the results of recent laser commissioning shots, and plans for commissioning diagnostics for experiments on NIF.

T1 - Ethane enrichment and propane depletion in subsurface gases indicate gas hydrate occurrence in marine sediments at southern Hydrate Ridge offshore Oregon JO - Organic Geochemistry JF - Organic Geochemistry Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 35 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1067 EP - 1080 SN - 01466380 AB - The recognition of finely disseminated gas hydrate in deep marine sediments heavily depends on various indirect techniques because this mineral quickly decomposes upon recovery from in situ pressure and temperature conditions. Here, we discuss molecular properties of closely spaced gas voids (formed as a result of core recovery) and gas hydrates from an area of relatively low gas flux at the flanks of the southern Hydrate Ridge offshore Oregon (ODP Sites 1244, 1245 and 1247). Within the gas hydrate occurrence zone (GHOZ), the concentration of ethane (C2) and propane (C3) in adjacent gas voids shows large variability. Sampled gas hydrates are enriched in C2 relative to void gases but do not contain C3. We suggest that the observed variations in the composition of void gases is a result of molecular fractionation during crystallization of structure I gas hydrate that contains C2 but excludes C3 from its crystal lattice. This hypothesis is used to identify discrete intervals of finely disseminated gas hydrate in cored sediments. Variations in gas composition help better constrain gas hydrate distribution near the top of the GHOZ along with variations in pore water chemistry and core temperature. Sediments near the base of the gas hydrate stability zone are relatively enriched in C2+ hydrocarbon gases. Complex and poorly understood geological and geochemical processes in these deeper sediments make the identification of gas hydrate based on molecular properties of void gases more ambiguous. The proposed technique appears to be a useful tool to better understand the distribution of gas hydrate in marine sediments and ultimately the role of gas hydrate in the global carbon cycle.

Centrifugal separators of various sizes (from 2- to 25-cm rotor diameter) have been built and operated over the past three decades at various US Department of Energy facilities. These units have several characteristics that make them attractive for downhole applications, including excellent phase separation, reliability in remote applications with>20,000 h of operation prior to maintenance, and the ability to handle high volumetric throughput with a very low residence time. In these studies, water-to-oil feed ratios of 10:1 to 1:19 were tested with a light Gulf of Mexico crude oil, and the separator operated efficiently for the full range of feed ratios. Air was added to the oil stream in one test to model the effect of gas in the oil. Air additions up to 20% of the feed flow rate (the maximum tested) did not have any impact on the performance of the separator. The separator also effectively processed a very viscous North Sea heavy crude oil. The heavy crude was used to determine the effect of higher temperatures on the performance of the separator. Increasing the temperature of the oil and water feed stream improved overall performance and decreased the concentration of oil in the water discharge stream.

A newly developed Lorentz phase microscopy allows detailed mapping of in-plane magnetization on a nanometre scale following the hysteresis loop. For polycrystalline Co films, 20–40 nm thick, we observed four major steps in the magnetization process: coherent spin rotation in adjacent nanodomains. nucleation of reverse domains, motion of the domain walls and additional spin rotation in magnetic domains and. finally, an expulsion of energetically non-favourable domains followed by the domain wall annihilation at the edges of Co islands. We offer a clear physical explanation of the magnetization ripple contrast.

Comparison between the bright-field and energy-filtered TEM images indicates that the change in structure at the solid-liquid interface as defined by diffraction contrast is accompanied by a corresponding change in composition across the interface as determined from intensity profiles of A1 elemental maps and jump-ratio images. Thus, the structural and compositional changes at the solid-liquid alloy interface appear to occur simultaneously over a distance of no more than about 2 nm.

Using in-situ transmission electron microscopy it was possible to observe premelting of individual Pb inclusions in A1, each bounded by two distinctly different topotaxial interfaces. Such particles were generated by precipitating single-crystal Pb inclusions a few tens of nanometres in size at grain boundaries in A1. At equilibrium these particles adopt compound shapes, made from two segments whose shape and interface structure is characteristic of their misorientation with the matrix crystal. Only one of these interfaces premelts. In close agreement with a simple model, the width of the liquid layer depends reversibly on undercooling and interface curvature, and hence on particle size. The observed behaviour confirms previous reports on interface-dependent melting. By observing the selective melting of different interfaces for the first time on individual particles, it was possible to rule out experimental uncertainties and to show unambiguously that inclusion melting depends strongly on interface structure.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/09//9/1/2004 VL - 84 IS - 25/26 M3 - Article SP - 2663 EP - 2673 SN - 14786435 AB - Migration of nanosized liquid Pb inclusions attached to dislocations in A1 has been observed during in-situ transmission electron microscopy heating experiments and monitored by real-time video recordings. The movements of the inclusions can be separated into two independent components parallel to and perpendicular to the dislocations respectively. Movements parallel to the dislocation lines display properties of partially confined one-dimensional random walks where smaller inclusions can be seen to move over distances that are many times their own sizes. In contrast, the trajectories perpendicular to the dislocation lines are within narrowly confined spaces. Frame-by-frame analysis of digitized video sequences recorded at different temperatures for the same inclusion attached to a nearly horizontal dislocation illustrates the two types of movement. The step lengths parallel to the dislocation increase rapidly with increasing temperature while the step lengths in the transverse movement only display a weak temperature dependence. A detailed statistical analysis of the inclusion trajectories documents that both patterns of movement are random. The activation enthalpy of the one-dimensional movement parallel to the dislocation was found to be 2.72±0.10eV at lower temperatures and 1.44±0.07 eV at higher temperatures with a transition temperature around 650 660 K.

[J. Turbulence3, 1 (2002) ]. As a consequence it appears that there exist decay laws other than the self-preserving Taylor-microscale decay of Speziale and Bernard [J. Fluid Mech.241, 645 (1992) ], for which G is constant. Analytic solutions of Ristorcelli [Phys. Fluids15, 3248 (2003) ], for the self-similar Taylor microscale decay, are modified to apply to the G∼Rλ decay. The solution indicates an asymptotic k(t)∼t-1 and a Rt→Rt∞ behavior, as seen in the self-preserving Taylor microscale decay. There are two important differences between the two decays: (1) the fixed point Rt∞ and (2) its rate of approach are substantially smaller for the G∼Rλ decay. It appears that the observation of an asymptotic k(t)→t-1 decay with Rt→const is not a demonstration of Taylor microscale self-similarity, and is achieved, at a much later time, in a wider class of flows. This appears to explain the absence of observations of a k(t)∼t-1 decay in wind tunnel data. It is speculated that the distinction between the G=const self-similar Taylor microscale decay and the G∼Rλ decay may be useful large eddy simulation test cases.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 11 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - L49 EP - L52 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - The compressibility of fluid deuterium up to several Mbar has been probed using laser-driven shock waves reflected from a quartz anvil. Combining high-precision (∼1%) shock velocity measurements with the double-shock technique, where differences in equation of state (EOS) models are magnified, has allowed better discrimination between theoretical predictions in the second-shock regime. Double-shock results are in agreement with the stiffer EOS models—which exhibit roughly fourfold single-shock compression—for initial shocks up to 1 Mbar and above 2 Mbar, but diverge from these predictions in between. Softer EOS models—which exhibit sixfold single-shock compression at 1 Mbar—overestimate the reshock pressure for the entire range under study.

The procedure for determining the marginal stability boundaries, for each field line, depends only on the equilibrium and a single ballooning eigenfunction calculation. This information is sufficient to determine if increasing pressure gradient is stabilizing or destabilizing and to predict whether the configuration possesses a second stable region.

A. Paisner, J. D. Boyes, S. A. Kumpan, W. H. Lowdermilk, and M. S. Sorem, Laser Focus World 30, 75 (1994) ] is presented. Performance is optimized, for a 250 eV isotropic drive on a beryllium(copper) ablator, by varying the ablator outside radius, ablator thickness, the concentration of copper dopant in the ablator, and the fuel thickness, while keeping the absorbed energy fixed. Dopant concentration is constrained to be uniform in the ablator. The drive shock timing is adjusted to produce a low entropy implosion for each set of dimensions. The absorbed energy is kept fixed at 190 kJ, which results in the ablator outside radius remaining practically constant, about 0.137 cm. For capsule geometry near that resulting in optimal implosion yield, the absorbed energy depends only slightly on the ablator or fuel thickness. The parameter space of capsule dimensions was searched for central vapor densities of 0.3 and 0.5 mg/cc. Despite the detailed optimization, it is found that the capsule is notably more unstable than comparable capsules with a graded dopant in the ablator, as reported in previous literature.

Stability of the solar wind ion shell-like distribution function with respect to excitation of waves at larger distances is addressed. It is shown in linear approximation, that in the case when the phase velocity of Alfvén waves decreases with distance, ions with shell distribution excite outward propagating Alfvén waves with smaller phase velocities when they advance to larger distances. The nonlinear dynamics of the wave spectrum as well as the evolution of the ion distribution function are studied. The characteristic spectrum at the high-frequency edge of the magnetohydrodynamic fluctuations is explained.

L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] discharges with no externally applied torque. The velocity measurements are made using the charge exchange recombination (CER) technique viewing emission from the intrinsic carbon impurity in deuterium discharges. Three cases have been studied: L mode and H mode with Ohmic heating and H mode with electron cyclotron heating (ECH). The ECH H mode has carbon counter-rotation in the center of the plasma, and co-rotation outside, where co- and counter- are relative to the direction of the toroidal plasma current. The Ohmic H mode has carbon rotation everywhere in the co-direction. Neoclassical theory is applied to compute the deuterium toroidal velocity and it is found that the counter-rotation measured for carbon in the core of the ECH H mode is also thus predicted for the bulk deuterium species. Short blips of neutral beams (NB) must be used for the CER technique and these blips do apply a toroidal torque. Care is taken to verify that a nonperturbative measurement is made; data from the first 2 ms of NB injection in each discharge are used for this measurement.

These older results indicate that feedback with sensors detecting the perturbed poloidal magnetic field is more effective than that with radial field sensors. The model used in this paper allows a complete analytic treatment, so that stability results for both radial and poloidal sensors and the effect of coils that couple poloidal harmonics are transparent. Results with radial sensors and with poloidal sensors, either inside or outside the resistive wall, are compared, showing that the results with internal poloidal sensors are indeed much better than those with radial sensors, if the coupling of poloidal modes by the coils is large. Results with external poloidal sensors are found to be comparable with those with radial sensors. The effect of a phase shift between sensor and control coils is investigated. Sensitivity of the three schemes to high frequency fluctuations, related to sensitivity to noise, is discussed.

This turbulence is caused by secondary instabilities, which are excited by large gradients in the out-of-plane current. These gradients spontaneously form due to the dynamics of ion force balance across the layer, and first arise in the outflow regions downstream from the magnetic x point. This turbulence is not observed to have a substantial effect on the rate of reconnection.

Both explicit and implicit kinetic simulations show that the LHDI heats electrons anisotropically and increases the peak current density. Linear theory predicts these modifications can increase the growth rate of the tearing instability by almost two orders of magnitude and shift the fastest growing modes to significantly shorter wavelengths. These predictions are confirmed by nonlinear kinetic simulations in which the growth and coalescence of small scale magnetic islands leads to a rapid onset of large scale reconnection.

Two-point correlation function of the baryons are evaluated in a single meson state and the vacuum, which yields the designated coupling. The emphasis is on the flavor SU(3) structure of the coupling constants and reliability in extracting the coupling constants from the two-point correlation functions. We first calculate the baryon-diagonal couplings and study the reliability of the sum rule. The F/D ratio of the coupling is determined in the SU(3) limit. We further formulate the baryon-off-diagonal couplings using the projected correlation functions and the vertex functions, so that the unwanted excited states do not contaminate the sum rule. As an example, the πΛΣ coupling constant is calculated and the flavor SU(3) breaking effect is studied. We find that the effect of SU(3) breaking on the πΛΣ coupling constant is small.

A direct calculation for whole core heterogeneous geometries was not feasible in the past due to the limited capability of computers. With modern computational abilities, direct whole core heterogeneous calculations are becoming feasible. This paper explores a recent OECD/NEA benchmark problem proposed to test the accuracy of modern deterministic transport methods when applied to reactor core problems without spatial homogenization. For this work a two-dimensional configuration was investigated and an accurate Monte Carlo reference solution was obtained. Twenty participants submitted solutions for the two-dimensional configuration and all of the participant solutions were compared to a reference Monte Carlo solution. Overall all the results submitted by the participants agreed well with the reference solution. A majority of the participants obtained solutions that were more than acceptable for typical reactor calculations and the remaining errors in the participant solutions can be attributed to the high order space-angle approximation necessary to solve this particular benchmark problem. It is important to note that the high order space-angle approximation needed for this benchmark is not necessary typical for all such whole-core heterogeneous problems.

We set a stringent criterion that a successful solution to the benchmark exercise must satisfy, namely that at least for some of the benchmark quantities convergence to the reference solution with computational model refinement must be demonstrated. In the present exercise this amounts to examining the evolution of the DORT solution, e.g. the multiplication factor, with increasing angular quadrature order, decreasing computational cell size, and tighter representation of the curved rod-moderator interface for all circular rods in the core model. In addition we explored the effect of angular quadrature type, comparing solution accuracy for the fully symmetric and the Square Legendre-Chebychev quadratures establishing superiority of the latter. We establish the high quality of DORT''s solution to this benchmark exercise by demonstrating that the multiplication factor asymptotically approaches the reference solution as stated in our self-imposed success criterion. High accuracy of the pin power distribution is also attained, however, convergence to the reference values is not realized. We conjecture that this is due to the lack of error information in the reference values. Our results also illustrate DORT''s high accuracy on reasonable meshes and quadrature orders, as well as the sufficiency of a crude, square, geometric approximation of the rod-moderator interface to achieve high accuracy.

Two critical components of a successful selection experiment are having a pure target protein and its immobilization in a native conformation. To achieve both of these requirements in a single step, we have devised cytoplasmic expression vectors for expression of proteins that are tagged at the amino- or carboxy-terminus (pMCSG16 and 15) via the AviTag, which is biotinylated in vivo with concurrent expression of the BirA biotin ligase. To facilitate implementation in high-throughput applications, the engineered vectors, pMCSG15 and pMCSG16, also contain a ligase-independent cloning site (LIC), which permits up to 100% cloning efficiency. The expressed protein can be purified from bacterial cell lysates with immobilized metal affinity chromatography or streptavidin-coated magnetic beads, and the beads used directly to select phage from combinatorial libraries. From selections using the N-terminally biotinylated version of one target protein, a peptide ligand (Kd=9 μM) was recovered that bound in a format-dependent manner. To demonstrate the utility of pMCSG16, a set of 192 open reading frames were cloned, and protein was expressed and immobilized for use in high-throughput selections of phage-display libraries.

SN - 00334553 AB - - We present a method of constructing low-dimensional nonlinear models describing the main dynamical features of a discrete 2-D cellular fault zone, with many degrees of freedom, embedded in a 3-D elastic solid. A given fault system is characterized by a set of parameters that describe the dynamics, rheology, property disorder, and fault geometry. Depending on the location in the system parameter space, we show that the coarse dynamics of the fault can be confined to an attractor whose dimension is significantly smaller than the space in which the dynamics takes place. Our strategy of system reduction is to search for a few coherent structures that dominate the dynamics and to capture the interaction between these coherent structures. The identification of the basic interacting structures is obtained by applying the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to the surface deformation fields that accompany strike-slip faulting accumulated over equal time intervals. We use a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) architecture for the identification of the system dynamics projected onto the subspace (model space) spanned by the most energetic coherent structures. The ANN is trained using a standard back-propagation algorithm to predict (map) the values of the observed model state at a future time, given the observed model state at the present time. This ANN provides an approximate, large-scale, dynamical model for the fault. The map can be evaluated once to provide a short-term predictions or iterated to obtain a prediction for the long-term fault dynamics.

The usefulness of the dosimeter film has already been shown in food irradiation for routine process control. The aim of the present study was to check the performance of the Sunna dosimeter film for process control in radiation sterilization under industrial processing conditions, i.e. at high activity gamma irradiators and at high energy electron beam facilities. To ensure similar irradiation conditions during calibration and routine irradiation “in-plant calibration” was performed by irradiating the Sunna dosimeters together with ethanol–monochlorobenzene transfer standard and alanine reference standard dosimeters. The Sunna dosimeters were then irradiated together with the routine dosimeter of the actual plant during regular production runs and the absorbed doses measured by the different dosimeters agreed within ±2%(1σ).

The Triad initiative's ability to catalyze second-generation cleanup practices will be hampered if inaccurate or incomplete assumptions create persistent confusion about what Triad is or how it works. This article has been prepared by the multi-agency workgroup responsible for articulating the Triad approach and coordinating national Triad efforts. It serves to address some misunderstandings about key Triad concepts. As an aid to those wishing to learn more, a new Web site (the Triad Resource Center, http://www.triadcentral.org) and a new Triad reference document from the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) are introduced as sources of explanatory information supporting the Triad approach. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An array of detectors at fixed poloidal angle but many toroidal angles yields a measurement of the toroidal asymmetry in Hα emission and is used for monitoring hydrogen recycling. A multichord array at the toroidal angle of the gas puff allows an accurate determination of neutral gas penetration. Preliminary neutral gas modeling allows for the estimation of the density of atomic and molecular hydrogen from the Hα emission, which are used for particle transport and flow damping studies.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 75 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2995 EP - 3001 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - The local oscillating component of the poloidal magnetic field in plasma associated with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities has been measured using the motional Stark effects (MSE) diagnostic on the DIII–D tokamark. The magnetic field perturbations associated with a resistive wall mode rotated by internal coils at 20 Hz was measured using the conventional MSE operation mode. These first observations of perturbations due to a MHD mode were obtained on multiple MSE channels covering a significant portion of the plasma and the radial profile of the amplitude of the perturbed field oscillations was obtained. The measured profile is similar to the profile of the amplitude of the electron temperature oscillation measured by electron cyclotron emission (ECE) measurements. In a new mode of measurement, the amplitude of a tearing mode rotating at a high frequency (∼7 kHz) was observed using the spectral analysis of high frequency MSE data on one channel. The spectrum consists of the harmonics of the light modulation employed in the MSE diagnostics, their mutual beat frequencies and their beat frequencies with the rotation frequency of the tearing mode. The value and time variation of the frequency of the observed perturbations is in good agreement with that measured by Mirnov probes and ECE. The article demonstrates that the MSE diagnostic can be used for observing low and high frequency phenomena such as MHD instabilities and electromagnetic turbulence.

In flocculation kinetics models it is usually assumed that spherical particles collide and form spherical aggregates. Real aggregates, however, are of irregular shapes and can be considered as fractal objects. The structure of fractal objects can be described by a fractal dimension number that plays an important role in aggregation kinetics. Two-dimensional computer simulations of particle aggregation are carried out in this work to directly observe the evolution of floc size and to determine their fractal dimension. The computer program developed in this study simulates random particle motion as well as cluster growth. The simulation results are visualized using Java programming language. The fractal dimension of the simulated clusters is determined based on the linear relationship between log-(mass of clusters) and log-(radius of clusters). Primary forces acting on individual particles, including van der Waals, electrostatic, magnetic dipole, and hydrodynamic interparticle forces, are examined to determine the collision efficiency at different collision angles, as well as the structure of the aggregates. The effect of magnetic dipole forces on the fractal dimension and chain formation is examined. It is shown that when the magnetic dipole force is of the same magnitude as the double-layer force within a narrow range of zeta potential values, one-dimensional or two-dimensional clusters may be obtained.

We revisit previous work done on this problem and follow Or's mathematical model [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 54 (1994), pp. 597–609]. A linear analysis of the equations of motion reveals that the only equilibrium points correspond to the inverted and noninverted states of the tippe top and that the modified Maxwell–Bloch equations describe the linear/spectral stability of these equilibria. We supply explicit criteria for the spectral stability of these states. A nonlinear global analysis based on energetics yields explicit criteria for the existence of a heteroclinic connection between the noninverted and inverted states of the tippe top. This criteria for the existence of a heteroclinic connection turns out to agree with the criteria for spectral stability of the inverted and noninverted states. Throughout the work we support the analysis with numerical evidence and include simulations to illustrate the nonlinear dynamics of the tippe top.

JO - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing JF - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 26 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 810 EP - 820 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 10648275 AB - Numerical modeling of radiation transport and fluid dynamics are central to many fields of science. This paper studies the application of preconditioned iterative methods to time- dependent coupled hydrodynamics and radiation (Boltzmann) transport. In particular, we focus on the solution of Jacobian matrices in full Newton iterations in the modeling of neutrino (radiation) transport in core collapse supernovae. This is a demanding radiation hydrodynamics application, requiring accurate time-dependent neutrino transport coupled to hydrodynamics driven by this transport. Given a fully implicit finite differencing of the transport equations, the Jacobian matrices have a special block tridiagonal structure. The off-diagonal blocks are exactly diagonal and correspond to the spatial transport of neutrinos and the coupling of adjacent spatial zones owing to this transport. The dense diagonal blocks, on the other hand, arise from the coupling between the neutrino direction cosines and energy, as a result of neutrino emission, absorption, and scattering, in the multiple species multiple energy group discrete ordinates formulation for solving the Boltzmann transport equations. We consider an effective alternating direct implicit (ADI)-like preconditioner where we alternately sweep along the one-dimensional spatial direction and separatelly handle the coupling among multi- direction multigroup variables within each spatial discretization cell. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the fast convergence and efficient parallel implementation. The results suggest that even simple fixed point iteration can achieve a similar convergence rate as GMRES and BICGSTAB.

Laboratory studies were used to determine the potential rate of net soil N mineralization and in situ studies of 13C-labelled glycine were used to infer differences in decomposition rates. Nitrogen stocks, surface soil (0–5 cm) N concentrations, and the pool of potentially mineralizable surface soil N tended to increase from low to high elevations. Rates of potential net soil N mineralization were not significantly correlated with elevation. Increasing soil N availability with elevation is primarily due to greater soil N stocks and lower substrate C-to-N ratios, rather than differences in potential net soil N mineralization rates. The loss rate of 13C from labelled soils (0–20 cm) was inversely related to study site elevation (r=-0.85; P<0.05) and directly related to mean annual temperature (+0.86; P<0.05). The results indicated different patterns of potential net soil N mineralization and 13C loss along the elevation gradient. The different patterns can be explained within a framework of climate, substrate chemistry, and coupled soil C and N stocks. Although less SOM decomposition is indicated at cool, high-elevation sites, low substrate C-to-N ratios in these N-rich systems result in more N release (N mineralization) for each unit of C converted to CO2 by soil microorganisms.

Collaboration between experimentalists and mathematical modellers has allowed models to be evaluated and parameterized, and used to test several key hypotheses, for example, the role of the immune system in the progression of disease and how HIV evolves resistance to antiretroviral treatment. An explosion of the application of mathematical models to the cellular aspect of infection was seen in the 1980s and thus far success in describing HIV has been due, in part, to the availability of reliable experimental data. However, there remains a number of puzzling quantitative features. What is required is a type of theory- driven experimental, statistical analysis, and a mathematical modelling approach to solving these challenges. In this article we review how mathematical models are being applied to understand the cellular-level interactions between the human immunodeficiency virus and the immune system.

GH4 enzymes are unique in their requirement for NAD(H) and a divalent metal for activity. We have determined the crystal structure of GlvA in complex with its ligands to 2.05 Å resolution. Analyses of the active site architecture, in conjunction with mechanistic studies and precedent from the nucleotide diphosphate hexose dehydratases and other systems, suggest a novel mechanism of glycoside hydrolysis by GlvA that involves both the NAD(H) and the metal.

CBD patients carry mutated MHC class II alleles and show a hyperproliferation of T cells upon Be exposure. The exact mechanism of Be-induced T-cell proliferation in these patients is not clearly understood. It is also not known how the inflammatory and suppressive cytokines maintain a balance in healthy individuals and how this balance is lost in CBD patients. To address these issues, we have initiated cellular and biochemical studies to identify Be-responsive cytokines and other cellular markers that help maintain a balance in healthy individuals. We have established an immune cell model derived from a mixture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and dendritic cells (DCs). In this article, we demonstrate that pro-inflammatory cytokine IL6 shows decreased release whereas suppressive cytokine IL10 shows enhanced release after 5–10 h of Be treatment. Furthermore, the Be-specific pattern of IL6 and IL10 release is dependent upon induction of threonine phosphorylation of a 45 kDa cytosolic protein (p45), as early as 90 min after Be treatment. Pharmacological inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3′ kinase (PI3′K) by wortmannin and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by SB203580 reveal that PI3′K mediates Be-specific p45 phosphorylation and IL6 release, whereas p38 MAPK regulates the release of IL6 and IL10 and the phosphorylation of p45 independent of metal-salt treatment. While the IL10 and IL6 release pathways are uncoupled in these cells, they are linked to phosphorylation of p45. These findings suggest that the balance between IL10 and IL6 release and the correlated p45 phosphorylation are important components of the Be-mediated immune response in healthy individuals.

JO - Transactions of the ASAE JF - Transactions of the ASAE Y1 - 2004/09//Sep/Oct2004 VL - 47 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1597 EP - 1603 SN - 00012351 AB - Corn stover is a currently low-value product that has been suggested as an ideal pioneer cellulosic feedstock for conversion to chemicals and fuel because of its abundance and proximity to existing grain-to-ethanol conversion facilities. However, corn stover is high in moisture at the time of grain harvest. High-moisture corn stover is difficult to handle, spoils readily, is prone to spontaneous combustion, and is a safety hazard when moldy; thus, field drying becomes an important consideration. Data on field moisture content, quantity, and quality of the corn plant fractions are essential to the on-going analysis of the stover supply system. This study involved monitoring the in-field dry down and biomass yield in two corn hybrids, Pioneer 32K61 and 32K64 (Bt), grown under southeastern U.S. conditions. The standing corn was sampled over a 109-day period that was started roughly a week before estimated grain physiological maturity until several weeks after the grain had reached harvest moisture. The two hybrids seemed to have no visual differences in field drying rates; hence, their data were pooled for analysis. The stalk fraction had the highest moisture over the study period, but by the end, 213 days after planting, all components of the corn plant reached nearly the same moisture content of 10% to 13% w.b. Moisture content of the stover could be estimated by doubling the grain moisture content when the grain moisture was between 18% and 31% w.b. After physiological maturity, the dry matter content of the stalk and husk fractions declined steadily. The leaf fraction mass sustained substantial losses (about 74%) very rapidly, mainly due to wind and rain damage. The amount of dry stover was about 50% of the total dry plant material over the monitoring period with stalks comprising 50% of the stover dry matter at the time grain was harvested. These data for Tennessee conditions (southeastern U.S.) support use of the convenient 1-to-1 rule of thumb for estimating...

The decomposition data, obtained over at least two half lives in most of the runs, yielded first-order rate constant (k) values with correlation co-efficient (R2)>0.95. The products were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) yielded images from which the mean particle diameter (MPD) of ∼10 nm for Fe and <3 nm for Mo were estimated. The generation of amorphous Fe and semi-crystalline Mo particles was determined from line broadening and corresponding d-spacing values in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra. The XAFS/XANES data were consistent with the production of Fe(0) metal but carbided Mo (Mo2C). The one-step production of high-yield pyrophoric products demonstrated the applicability of sonolysis to effectively produce gram-quantity of zero-valent metals.

Certain fundamental noise sources contain valuable information about the system itself—a notable example being the inherent voltage fluctuations (Johnson noise) that exist across any resistor, which allow the temperature to be determined1,2. In magnetic systems, fundamental noise can exist in the form of random spin fluctuations3,4. For example, statistical fluctuations of N paramagnetic spins should generate measurable noise of order √N p spins, even in zero magnetic field5,6. Here we exploit this effect to perform perturbation-free magnetic resonance. We use offresonant Faraday rotation to passively7,8 detect the magnetization noise in an equilibrium ensemble of paramagnetic alkali atoms; the random fluctuations generate spontaneous spin coherences that precess and decay with the same characteristic energy and timescales as the macroscopic magnetization of an intentionally polarized or driven ensemble. Correlation spectra of the measured spin noise reveal g-factors, nuclear spin, isotope abundance ratios, hyperfine splittings, nuclear moments and spin coherence lifetimes—without having to excite, optically pump or otherwise drive the system away from thermal equilibrium. These noise signatures scale inversely with interaction volume, suggesting a possible route towards non-perturbative, sourceless magnetic resonance of small systems.

The influence of supporting neutral salts on the adsorption behavior of these two ions are compared. The Henry constants are close ( 5). The four sets of isotherm data are all well accounted for using the bi-Moreau model. However, the isotherms of the two ions behave differently at high concentrations. The initial behaviors of all the isotherms are antilangmuirian but remain so in a much wider concentration range for the cation than for the anion, due to its stronger adsorbate–adsorbate interactions on the low-energy adsorption sites. The retention times of both ions increase with increasing concentration of neutral salt in the mobile phase, suggesting the formation of ion-pair complexes, with Cl- for the cation and with Na+ for the anion. The adsorbate–adsorbate interactions vanish in the presence of salt and the bi-Moreau isotherm model tends toward a bi-Langmuir model. Differences in adsorption behavior are also observed between the cation and the anion when bivalent inorganic anions and cations, respectively, are dissolved in the mobile phase. High concentration band profiles of 1-naphthalene sulfonic acid are langmuirian, except in the presence of a trivalent cation, while those of propranolol are antilangmuirian under certain conditions even with uni- or divalent cations.

A commercially available Phlogopite mica paper was infiltrated with a wetting or melt-forming agent, and tested in a hybrid form during thermal cycling. The results of H3BO3-infiltrated mica showed a continued decrease in leak rates over thermal cycling, and very low rates (<5×10-4 sccm/cm) were obtained after ∼15 thermal cycles. The results of Bi-nitrate infiltrated mica exhibited a constant leak rate of (1–4)×10-3 sccm/cm over 36 thermal cycles. The leak rates of the infiltrated mica were one to two orders of magnitude lower than leak rates for the as-received micas. Open circuit voltage tests were also conducted using dense 8YSZ plates to assess the effectiveness of the mica seals. Open circuit voltages equivalent to, or close to, the theoretical (Nernst) values were obtained.

All of the substituted cathode materials intercalated lithium reversibly, with LixTi0.22Mn0.78O2 exhibiting the highest capacity in polymer cells, about 10–20% greater than that of unsubstituted LixMnO2 made from Na0.44MnO2.

When evaluating the discrete gradient operator, one needs to define discrete inner products of two discrete vector fields. The local discrete inner product on a given triangle is defined by a 3×3 symmetric positive definite matrix M defined by its six independent elements–parameters. Using the Gauss theorem over our triangle, we evaluate the discrete gradient in the triangle. We require the discrete gradient to be exact for linear functions, which gives us a system of linear equations for elements of the matrix M. This system, together with inequalities which guarantee positive definiteness of the matrix M, results in a one parameter family of inner products which give exact gradients for linear functions. The traditional inner product is a member of this family. The positive free parameter can be used to improve another property of the discrete method. We show that accuracy of the method for quadratic functions improves with decreasing this parameter, however, at the same time, the condition number of the matrix M, which is the local matrix of the linear system for computing the discrete gradient, increases to infinity when the parameter goes to zero, so one needs to choose a compromise between accuracy and solvability of the local system. Our analysis has been performed by computer algebra tools which proved to be essential.

Despite its significance, the biological mechanisms controlling anaerobic methane oxidation are not well characterized. One current model suggests that relatives of methane-producing Archaea developed the capacity to reverse methanogenesis and thereby to consume methane to produce cellular carbon and energy. We report here a test of the "reverse-methanogenesis" hypothesis by genomic analyses of methane-oxidizing Archaea from deep-sea sediments. Our results show that nearly all genes typically associated with methane production are present in one specific group of archaeal methanotrophs. These genome-based observations support previous hypotheses and provide an informed foundation for metabolic modeling of anaerobic methane oxidation.

Peak profiles are measured for {440} reflections arising from 20 bulk grains, all of which are at least one average grain diameter below the surfaces within a 0.2-mm thick specimen. The reflecting lattice planes are all perpendicular to the tensile axis. The variance in lattice strain between grains can therefore be attributed to differences in the boundary conditions imposed by the different sets of neighboring grains. The results are compared to finite-element modelling (FEM). Up to the highest applied strain of 2%, the experimental and FEM values are in fair agreement and the standard deviations may be roughly approximated as 6% of the average axial lattice strains.

After the same natural aging, the tensile yield strength, ultimate strength, and microhardness of the UFG samples were 103%, 35%, and 48% higher, respectively, than those of the CG samples, because of higher densities of Guinier–Preston (G–P) zones and dislocations in the UFG sample. Upon annealing, the microhardness of the UFG sample decreased gradually, while a hardening peak appeared for the CG sample. The peak was caused by the precipitation hardening of the metastable η′ phase. For the UFG sample, the precipitation hardening was overcompensated by the significant decrease of microstrain (dislocation density) upon annealing, resulting in a lack of precipitation hardening peak. Differential scanning calorimetry indicates that the ECAP process only accelerated the phase precipitations, but did not change the sequence of phase precipitation. This study shows that severe plastic deformation has the potential to significantly improve the mechanical properties of age-hardening Al alloys.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/09/06/ VL - 85 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1680 EP - 1682 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - Hall effect measurements have been carried out to determine the carrier density and mobilities in ultrananocrystalline diamond films grown with added nitrogen. The results show clear n-type conductivity with very low thermal activation energy. Mobility values of 1.5 cm2 V-1 s-1 are found for a sheet carrier concentration of 2×1017 cm-2. These measurements indicate that ultrananocrystalline films grown with high nitrogen levels in the growth gas mixture can have bulk carrier concentrations of up to 1021, which is very high for diamond films. The n-type nature of this material was also confirmed by Seebeck effect measurements.

At low Ni overlayer thicknesses (3 and 5 nm), most of the interface dislocations are 60° 1/2<110> glide dislocations, while Lomer edge dislocations constitute only about 5% of the total interface dislocation content. At a 13 nm Ni overlayer thickness, the fraction of Lomer dislocations increases to approximately 40% of the total content. This dramatic increase in the fraction of Lomer dislocations is likely related to a “rebound mechanism” which initiates at some critical thickness between 5 and 13 nm.

When the Ga0.52In0.48P is ordered, the two techniques produce radically different excess-carrier decay characteristics. These data can be explained by invoking a charge-separation mechanism at a type-II heterointerface. At higher excess-carrier injection levels, the charge-separation mechanism vanishes, and the type-I interface properties develop. These data are compatible with the polarization field model of ordered Ga0.52In0.48P.

The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62), Z = 4, with a = 19.451(6) Å, b = 12.164(3) Å, c = 6.581(1) A. The compound is made up of As3Pb35- crown clusters that can be likened geometrically and electronically to 6-atom hypho-clusters derived from a tricapped trigonal prismatic closo parent. These crowns are interconnected via intercluster Pb-Pb bonds to form infinite chains along the b axis, which means the compound contains an extra two cations and two electrons per formula unit. Extended Hückel calculations indicate that the two additional electrons per cluster are accommodated in π∗ states on the cluster and predict that the phase should be semiconducting. The latter is confirmed by microwave resistivity measurements, ρ298 = 1.0 × 102 μΩ·cm; (δρ/δT)/ρ=-0.14(3) K-1.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/09/06/ VL - 43 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 5645 EP - 5658 SN - 00201669 AB - A variety of physical methods has been used to probe the non-Kramers, S = 1, V(III) ion in two types of pseudooctahedral complexes: V(acac)3, where acac = anion of 2,4-pentanedione, and VX3(thf)3, where thf = tetrahydrofuran and X = Cl and Br. These methods include tunable frequency and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR) spectroscopy (using frequencies of ∼95–700 GHz and fields up to 25 T) in conjunction with electronic absorption, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and variable-temperature variable-field MCD (VTVH- MCD) spectroscopies. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and field-dependent magnetization measurements were also performed. All measurements were conducted on complexes in the solid state (powder or mull samples). The field versus sub-THz wave quantum energy dependence of observed HFEPR resonances yielded the following spin Hamiltonian parameters for V(acac)3: D = +7.470(1) cm-1; E = +1.916(1) cm-1; gx = 1.833(4); gy = 1.72(2); gz = 2.03(2). For VCl3(thf)3, HFEPR detected a single zero-field transition at 15.8 cm-1 (474 GHz), which was insufficient to determine the complete set of spin Hamiltonian parameters. For VBr3(thf)3, however, a particularly rich data set was obtained using tunable-frequency HFEPR, and analysis of this data set gave the folowing: D = -16.162(6) cm-1; E = -3.694(4) cm-1; gx = 1.86(1); gy = 1.90(1); gz = 1.710(4). Analysis of the VTVH-MCD data gave spin Hamiltonian parameters in good agreement with those determined by HFEPR for both V(acac)3 and VBr3(thf)3 and in rough agreement with the estimate for VCl3(thf)3 (D ≈ 10 cm-1, ¦E/D¦ ≈ 0.18), together with the finding that the value of D is negative for both thf complexes. The electronic structures of these V(III) complexes are discussed in terms of their molecular structures and the electronic transitions observed by electronic absorption and MCD spectroscopies.

Identical nuclear ground state observables are calculated in the two approximations, but the magnitudes of the coupling constants are different. We find for model studies of four-fermion interactions occurring in two existing relativistic point coupling phenomenologies that whereas in Hartree the isovector–scalar strength αTS, corresponding to δ-meson exchange, is unnaturally small, indicating a possible new symmetry, in Hartree–Fock it is instead comparable to the isovector–vector strength αTV corresponding to ρ-meson exchange, but the sum of the two isovector coupling constants appears to be preserved in both approaches. Furthermore, in Hartree–Fock approximation, both QCD-scaled isovector coupling constants are natural (dimensionless and of order 1) whereas in Hartree approximation only that of the isovector–vector channel is natural. This indicates that it is not necessary to search for a new symmetry and, moreover, that the role of the δ-meson should be reexamined. This work presents the first comparisons of naturalized coupling constants coming from relativistic Hartree and relativistic Hartree–Fock solutions to the same Lagrangian.

We obtain the low-energy effective action for scalar and pseudoscalar degrees of freedom to lowest order in quark loops and to quadratic order in the meson fluctuations around the mean field. The static limit of critical phenomena is shown to be described by a Ginzburg–Landau effective action including spatial gradients. Hence static critical phenomena is described by the universality class of the O(4) Heisenberg ferromagnet. Dynamical critical phenomena is studied by obtaining the equations of motion for pion fluctuations. We find that for T the are stable long-wavelength pion excitations with dispersion relation ωπ(k)=k described by isolated pion poles. The residue of the pion pole vanishes near Tc as Z∝1/&z.sfnc;ln(1-T/Tc)&z.sfnc; and long-wavelength fluctuations are damped out by Landau damping on a time scale trel(k)∝1/k, reflecting critical slowing down of pion fluctuations near the critical point. At the critical point, the pion propagator features mass shell logarithmic divergences which we conjecture to be the harbinger of a (large) dynamical anomalous dimension. We find that while the classical spinodal line coincides with that of the Ginzburg–Landau theory, the growth rate of long-wavelength spinodal fluctuations has a richer wavelength dependence as a consequence of Landau damping. We argue that Landau damping prevents a local low-energy effective action in terms of a derivative expansion in real time at least at the order studied.

The photon–proton centre-of-mass energy was in the range 30 and the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex &z.sfnc;t&z.sfnc;<1 GeV2. The cross sections and decay angular distributions are presented as functions of Q2, W and t. The effective parameters of the pomeron trajectory are in agreement with those found in J/ψ photoproduction. The spin-density matrix elements, calculated from the decay angular distributions, are consistent with the hypothesis of s-channel helicity conservation. The ratio of the longitudinal to transverse cross sections, σL/σT, grows with Q2, whilst no dependence on W or t is observed. The results are in agreement with perturbative QCD calculations and exhibit a strong sensitivity to the gluon distribution in the proton.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/09/07/ VL - 43 IS - 35 M3 - Article SP - 11352 EP - 11360 SN - 00062960 AB - Aggregation of Fc∊RI, the high-affinity cell-surface receptor for IgE antibody, is required for degranulation of basophils and mast cells, but not all receptor aggregates elicit this cellular response. The stereochemical constraints on clusters of Fc∊RI that are able to signal cellular responses, such as degranulation, have yet to be fully defined. To improve our understanding of the properties of Fc∊RI aggregates that influence receptor signaling, we have studied the interaction of 2303, a rat IgG1K IgE- specific monoclonal antibody, with IgE-Fc∊RI complexes on rat mucosal-type mast cells (RBL-2H3 line). We find that 2303 is a potent secretagogue. This property and the structural features of 2303 (two symmetrically arrayed IgE-specific binding sites) make 2303 a potentially valuable reagent for investigating the relationship between Fc∊RI clustering and Fc∊RI-mediated signaling events. To develop a mathematical model of 23G3-induced aggregation of Fc∊RI, we used fluorimetry and flow cytometry to quantitatively monitor equilibrium binding of FITC-labeled 2303 intact Ab and its Fab' fragment to cell-surface IgE. The results indicate that IgE bound to Fc∊RI expresses two epitopes for 2303 binding; that 2303 binds IgE resident on the cell surface with negative cooperativity; and that 2303 appears to induce mostly but not exclusively noncyclic dimeric aggregates of Fc∊RI. There is no simple relationship between receptor aggregation at equilibrium and the degranulation response. Further studies are needed to establish how 2303-induced aggregation of IgE-Fc∊RI correlates with cellular responses.

The reactions are first order in both [Q] and Os(IV) complex and occur by parallel pH-independent (k1) and pH-dependent (k2) pathways that can be separated by pH-dependent measurements. Saturation kinetics are observed for the acid-independent pathway, consistent with formation of a H-bonded intermediate (KA) followed by a redox step (kred). For the pH-independent pathway, k1(H2O)/k1(D2O) kinetic isotope effects are 455 ± 8 for [1+], 198 ± 6 for [2+], and 178 ± 5 for [3]. These results provide an example of colossal kinetic isotope effects for proton-coupled electron transfer reactions involving nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus as proton-donor atoms.

TmYjeQ, a homologue of Escherichia coli YjeQ, which is known to bind to the ribosome, is composed of three domains: an N-terminal oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold domain, a central GTPase domain, and a C-terminal zinc-finger domain. The crystal structure of TmYjeQ reveals two interesting domains: a circularly permutated GTPase domain and an unusual zinc-finger domain. The binding mode of GDP in the GTPase domain of TmYjeQ is similar to those of GDP or GTP analogs in ras proteins, a prototype GTPase. The N-terminal oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold domain, together with the GTPase domain, forms the extended RNA-binding site. The C-terminal domain has an unusual zinc-finger motif composed of Cys-250, Cys-255, Cys-263, and His-257, with a remote structural similarity to a portion of a DNA-repair protein, rad51 fragment. The overall structural features of TmYjeQ make it a good candidate for an RNA-binding protein, which is consistent with the biochemical data of the YjeQ subfamily in binding to the ribosome.

GdTSb3 is a quasi-two dimensional system with orthorhombic crystal structure (space group: Pbcm). Unlike the other light rare earth chromium antimonides (R = Ce–Nd, Sm), in which two magnetic transitions are observed, GdCrSb3 undergoes a single ferrimagnetic transition at TC=86 K, which is evident in both the magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. Within the b–c plane, GdCrSb3 is found to have metallic behavior from 5 to 300 K, but it is found to have insulating behavior (dρa/dT<0) along the stacking axis. GdVSb3 is found to have a Néel transition at 5 K due to the localized Gd ions, but no ferromagnetic transition.

This paper introduces a general method for diabatically constructing the transverse eigensystem of a reaction path Hamiltonian in systems with many degenerate transverse frequencies. The diabatically constructed reaction path Hamiltonian yields smoothly varying coupling constants that, in turn, facilitate reactive flux calculations. As an example we compute the dynamically corrected rate constant for the chair to boat interconversion of cyclohexane, a system with 48 degrees of freedom and a number of degenerate frequencies. The transmission coefficients obtained from the reactive flux simulations agree with previous results that have been calculated using an empirical potential. Furthermore, the calculated rate constants agree with experimental values. Comparison to variational transition state theory shows that, despite finding the true bottleneck along the reaction pathway, variational transition state theory only accounts for half of the rate constant reduction due to recrossing trajectories. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/09/08/ VL - 121 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4461 EP - 4466 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - For proton transfer reactions, the tunneling contributions to the rates are often much larger than thermally activated rates at temperatures of interest. A number of separable tunneling corrections have been proposed that capture the dependence of tunneling rates on barrier height and imaginary frequency size. However, the effects of reaction pathway curvature and barrier anharmonicity are more difficult to quantify. The nonseparable semiclassical transition state theory (TST) of Hernandez and Miller [Chem. Phys. Lett. 214, 129 (1993)] accounts for curvature and barrier anharmonicity, but it requires prohibitively expensive cubic and quartic derivatives of the potential energy surface at the transition state. This paper shows how the reaction path Hamiltonian can be used to approximate the cubic and quartic derivatives used in nonseparable semiclassical transition state theory. This enables tunneling corrections that include curvature and barrier anharmonicity effects with just three frequency calculations as required by a conventional harmonic transition state theory calculation. The tunneling correction developed here is nonseparable, but can be expressed as a thermal average to enable efficient Monte Carlo calculations. For the proton exchange reaction NH2+CH4⇔NH3+CH3, the nonseparable rates are very accurate at temperatures from 300 K up to about 1000 K where the TST rate itself begins to diverge from the experimental results. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Supported Cu-containing catalysts have been studied for a number of industrially relevant reactions, but little effort has been devoted to the generation of tailored sites. Reaction of the molecular precursors, as solutions in C6H6, with the surface hydroxyl groups of SBA-15 under inert conditions provided grafted materials, isolated as light yellow powders after extensive washing with C6H6 and drying in vacuo at 323 K. The molecular precursors are presumably well-separated on the surface, as the "OH" site-to-precursor ratios are 12:1 and 8:1 for the 3.5 and 5.0 wt % materials, respectively. The infra-red spectra of Cu-containing molecular precursors with SBA-15 have been represented by a diagram.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/09/09/ VL - 108 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 13667 EP - 13673 SN - 15206106 AB - Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), synchrotron-based time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TR-XRD), extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS), and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) were employed in this work to systematically study the reaction of CuO and Cu2O with CO gas molecules. Both TPR and isothermal reduction results showed that CuO was easier to reduce than Cu2O under the same reaction conditions. In situ measurements of XRD and XANES showed a direct transformation pathway for CuO reduction (CuO → Cu) when there was a large supply of CO, while they showed a sequential step pathway involving one intermediate (CuO → Cu2O → Cu) with a limited supply of CO. An induction period for CuO reduction was seen and increased with decreasing temperature. O vacancies in CuO were observed during the induction period that could foster formation of a nonstoichiometric metastable copper-oxide species. The metastable species can either react rapidly with CO to form metallic copper during high CO flow rates or can relax into a Cu2O lattice when the supply of CO is limited. The Cu2O-like intermediate showed extra disordered oxygen in the empty tetrahedral sites of Cu2O. Based on these observations, a possible mechanism for CuO reduction is proposed. This study demonstrates that the mechanism for the reduction of an oxide by CO can vary considerably with the experimental conditions (gas flow rate, temperature, sample size, etc.), and its complex kinetics cannot be described by a single nth-order expression over the entire range of reaction. The behavior of CuO-based catalysts is discussed in the light of these results.

Scanning tunneling microscope observation revealed nanometer-scale domains of (1 × 1) and (1 × 2) phases on the surface. Formic acid was dissociatively adsorbed on the surface at room temperature. The recombination and decomposition temperatures of the adsorbed formate were similar to those reported on the (110) surface. The CH-related and COO-related stretching modes probed by high-resolution electron energy loss showed two or more types of formate. The wavenumber of the vibrational modes can be interpreted with a mixture of monodentate, bidentate, and bridge form of adsorption. The number density of the formates counted in microscope images supported monodentate and bidentate forms. Sequential imaging revealed limited mobility of the formates, reflecting the wide separation of surface Ti atoms.

Some biochemical studies of ATM function have been hampered by lack of an efficient expression system and abundant purified ATM protein. We report the construction of a vaccinia virus expressing ATM, vWR-ATM, which was used to produce large amounts of functional FLAG-tagged ATM protein (FLAG-ATM) in HeLa cells. Kinase activity of the purified FLAG-ATM was dependent on manganese and inhibited with wortmannin. Using the FLAG-ATM recombinant protein, GST-p53 serine 15 phosphorylation increased in the presence of damaged DNA. PHAS-1 phosphorylation was found to be DNA independent. Purified FLAG-ATM was recovered in the autophosphorylated form, as demonstrated by phosphorylation of ATM serine 1981. As shown by atomic force microscopy, FLAG-ATM bound to linear DNA both at broken ends and in mid-strands. Vaccinia virus is the most efficient ATM expression system described to date.

Momentum and mass conservation laws are written in Lagrangian form by a pull-back from the current configuration to the reference configuration following the solid matrix motion. A complete formulation based on the motion of the solid and fluid phases is first presented; then approximations are made with respect to the material time derivative of the relative flow velocity vector to arrive at a so-called (v,p)-formulation, which is subsequently implemented in a finite element model. We show how the resulting finite element matrix equations can be consistently linearized, using a compressible neo-Hookean hyperelastic material with a Kelvin solid viscous enhancement for the solid matrix as a test function for the nonlinear constitutive model. Numerical examples are presented demonstrating the significance of large deformation effects on the transient dynamic responses of porous structures, as well as the strong convergence profile exhibited by the iterative algorithm.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/09/10/ VL - 279 IS - 37 M3 - Article SP - 38960 EP - 38968 SN - 00219258 AB - Coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO) is an essential enzyme that catalyzes the sixth step of the heine biosynthetic pathway. Unusually for heme biosynthetic enzymes, CPO exists in two evolutionarily and mechanistically distinct families, with eukaryotes and some prokaryotes employing members of the highly conserved oxygen-dependent CPO family. Here, we report the crystal structure of the oxygen-dependent CPO from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Hem13p), which was determined by optimized sulfur anomalous scattering and refined to a resolution of 2.0 Å, The protein adopts a novel structure that is quite different from predicted models and features a central flat seven-stranded antiparallel sheet that is flanked by helices. The dimeric assembly, which is seen in different crystal forms, is formed by packing of helices and a short isolated strand that forms a β-ladder with its counterpart in the partner subunit. The deep active-site cleft is lined by conserved residues and has been captured in open and closed conformations in two different crystal forms. A substratesized cavity is completely buried in the closed conformation by the ∼8-Å movement of a helix that forms a lid over the active site. The structure therefore suggests residues that likely play critical roles in catalysis and explains the deleterious effect of many of the mutations associated with the disease hereditary coproporphyria.

A mesoporous MgAl2O4 support was synthesized via a low-temperature sol–gel process involving the heterobimetallic alkoxide precursor, Mg[Al(O iPr)4]2. A high-purity catalyst support was obtained after calcination at 1173 K under O2 atmosphere and active vanadia catalysts were prepared from the thermolysis of OV(O tBu)3 after grafting onto the spinel support. MgAl2O4-supported catalysts prepared in this manner have BET surface areas of 234–245 m2/g. All of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, and Raman, solid-state NMR, and diffuse-reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy. At all vanadium loadings the vanadia supported on MgAl2O4 exist as a combination of isolated monovanadate and tetrahedral polyvanadate species. As the vanadium surface density increases for these catalysts the ratio of polyvanadate species to isolated monovandate species increases. In addition, as the vanadium surface density increases for these catalysts, the initial rate of propane ODH per V atom increases and reaches a maximum value at 6 VOx/nm2. Increasing the vanadium surface density past this point results in a decrease in the rate of propane ODH owing to the formation of multilayer species in which subsurface vanadium atoms are essentially rendered catalytically inactive. The initial propene selectivity increases with increasing vanadium surface density and reaches a plateau of ∼95% for the V/MgAl catalysts. Rate coefficients for propane ODH (k1), propane combustion (k2), and propene combustion (k3) were calculated for these catalysts. The value of k1 increases with increasing VOx surface density, reaching a maximum at about 5.5 VOx/nm2. On the other hand, the ratio (k2/k1) for V/MgAl decreases with increasing VOx surface density. The ratio (k3/k1) for both sets of catalysts shows no dependence on the vanadia surface density. The observed trends in k1, (k2/k1), and (k3/k1) are discussed in terms of the surface structure of the catalyst.

A modified standard approximation is proposed that involves expansion in the orthogonal complement to the span of orbital basis set (OBS). The new formulation is labeled complementary auxiliary basis set (CABS) approach. CABS MP2-R12 method has a smaller RI error vis-à-vis the standard ABS approach. Both ABS and CABS approaches are most accurate if the auxiliary basis includes OBS explicitly. The CABS approach found to be more numerically robust than the ABS counterpart.

In this Letter, the potential of this technique to provide additional insight into the recombination dynamics of electrons generated by charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) photodetachment from monovalent anions in polar liquids is studied theoretically. The resulting expression accounts for the recent results for electron photodetachment from Na− in tetrahydrofuran.

We detected submm emission in 12 galaxies with signal-to-noise > 3, including nine detections at . When added to previous published results these data almost triple the number of radio galaxies with detected in the submm and yield a sample of 69 observed radio galaxies over the redshift range . We find that the range in rest-frame far-infrared luminosities is about a factor of 10. We have investigated the origin of this dispersion, correlating the luminosities with radio source power, size, spectral index, K-band magnitude and Lyα luminosity. No strong correlations are apparent in the combined data set. We confirm and strengthen the result from previous submm observations of radio galaxies that the detection rate is a strong function of redshift. We compare the redshift dependence of the submm properties of radio galaxies with those of quasars and find that for both classes of objects the observed submm flux density increases with redshift to , beyond which, for the galaxies, we find tentative evidence for a decline. We find evidence for an anticorrelation between submm luminosity and ultraviolet polarization fraction, for a subsample of 13 radio galaxies, indicating that starbursts are the dominant source of heating for dust in radio galaxies.

It successfully demonstrated the saturation of a SASE FEL in the wavelength range of 80–120 nm. We present a posteriori start-to-end numerical simulations of this FEL. These simulations are based on the programs Astra and elegant for the generation and transport of the electron distribution. An independent simulation of the intricate beam dynamics in the magnetic bunch compressor is performed with the program CSRtrack. The SASE FEL process is simulated with the code FAST. From our detailed simulations and the resulting phase space distribution at the undulator entrance, we found that the FEL was driven only by a small fraction (slice) of the electron bunch. This “lasing slice” is located in the head of the bunch, and has a peak current of approximately 3 kA. A strong energy chirp (due to the space charge field after compression) within this slice had a significant influence on the FEL operation. Our study shows that the radiation pulse duration is about 40 fs (FWHM) with a corresponding peak power of 1.5 GW. The simulated FEL properties are compared with various experimental data and found to be in excellent agreement.

The crystals were irradiated by a 40 GeV pion beam. After full recovery, the same crystals were irradiated using a 137Cs γ-ray source. The dose rate profiles along the crystal length were observed to be quite similar. We compare the effects of the two types of radiation on the crystal''s light output.

It consists of up to 35 tapered regular hexagons that replace the same number of forward Ge-detector modules in Gammasphere. The shell was designed for high detection efficiency and very good neutron–γ discrimination. The simultaneous use of time-of-flight, and two methods of pulse shape discrimination between neutrons and γ rays is described. Techniques for spectroscopy with efficient detection of two neutrons are discussed.

The use of kinematically complete experiments coupled with isomer tagging allow the selection of specific exit channels. The evolution from quasi-vibrational states at low spins to quasi-rotational structures following the population of a low-Ω, ‘rotationally aligned’ h11/2 neutron configuration is demonstrated to be a standard feature of the region using the so-called E-Gamma Over Spin (E-GOS) empirical prescription.

The experimental results showed a significant increase of microcrystalline volume fraction and grain size with increasing film thickness. The correlation between the cell performance and the microstructure suggests that the increase of grain size and microcrystalline volume fraction with thickness is the main reason for the deterioration of cell performance as the intrinsic layer thickness increases. By varying the hydrogen dilution in the gas mixture during deposition, microstructure evolution has been controlled and cell performance significantly improved.

No threshold pressure phenomenon was observed for the compressibility of the nanocrystals during compression in hydrostatic conditions, while the critical pressure around 10.5 GPa was observed during nonhydrostatic compression. These indicate that the threshold pressure phenomena, recently reported that the nanocrystals initially exhibited much higher bulk modulus below the threshold pressure during compression [Appl. Phys. Lett. 83, 3174 (2003); J. Phys. Chem. 107, 14151 (2003)], were mainly caused by the nonhydrostatic effect instead of a specific feature of nanocrystals upon compression. The bulk modulus of 3C–SiC nanocrystals is estimated as 220.6±0.6 GPa based on the hydrostatic compression data.

The structural and the chemical information of the as-grown nanotubes have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and dynamic force microscopy. The results reveal that the as-grown materials are formed by concentric stacking of Co3O4 (111) planes or weaved porous nanotubes with diameters ranging from tens to ∼200 nm and sidewall thickness ranging from 2 to ∼20 nm. Magnetic property of the sample demonstrates a magnetic transition temperature at 8.4 K, indicating macroscopic quantum confinement effects from the sidewall thickness of the porous nanotube.

The 0.01 mm2 diodes have a forward current-density of near 1000 A/cm2 and a rectification ratio over 107 at ±2 V. Use of microcrystalline silicon i and n layers results in higher current-density diodes than with amorphous silicon, primarily by lowering a barrier to carrier injection. A 30 nm intrinsic Si buffer layer between the i and p layers is needed to reduce the reverse leakage current. Minimizing diode area increases forward current density by reducing the voltage drop across the external series resistances.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/09/14/ VL - 43 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 11560 EP - 11566 SN - 00062960 AB - β-Hairpins constitute an important class of connecting protein secondary structures. Several groups have postulated that such structures form early in the folding process and serve to nucleate the formation of extended β-sheet structures. Despite the importance of β-hairpins in protein folding, little is known about the mechanism of formation of these structures. While it is well established that there is a complex interplay between the stability of a β-hairpin and loop conformational propensity, loop length, and the formation of stabilizing cross-strand interactions (H-bonds and hydrophobic interactions), the influence of these factors on the folding rate is poorly understood. Peptide models provide a simple framework for exploring the molecular details of the formation of β-hairpin structures. We have explored the fundamental processes of folding in two linear peptides that form β-hairpin structures, having a stabilizing hydrophobic cluster connected by loops of differing lengths. This approach allows us to evaluate existing models of the mechanism of β-hairpin formation. We find a substantial acceleration of the folding rate when the connecting loop is made shorter (i.e., the hydrophobic cluster is moved closer to the turn). Analysis of the folding kinetics of these two peptides reveals that this acceleration is a direct consequence of the reduced entropic cost of the smaller loop search.

These two alloys, and numerous similar compounds, have been found to have significant polycrystalline ductility, in some cases exceeding 20% ductility in tension. Calculated bulk properties are consistent with experimental data, where available, including lattice parameters, elastic constants, and stability with respect to the B27 FeB structure. Anti-phase boundary energies are large, consistent with the high degree of orders in these systems, and with the absence of b=〈111〉 slip in single crystal experiments. However, unstable stacking faults associated with b=〈100〉 slip are quite low, in contrast with NiAl where these energies exceed those of the anti-phase boundaries.

For the first ECAE pass, texture predictions at several locations across the billet using either the visco-plastic self consistent (VPSC) or Taylor model are compared against orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) texture measurements. The results show significant spatial variation in texture, in good agreement with the OIM measurements, and indicate a better performance of the VPSC model than the Taylor model. The study was extended for routes A and C up to 16 passes. For route A the textures at the top and middle regions are similar, remain much stronger than that in the bottom region, and strengthen with the number of passes. In route C, the textures at the top and bottom positions become similar after the second pass, but are quite different from the textures in the middle; the texture heterogeneity is smaller for odd-numbered passes than for even-numbered passes.

We have benchmarked our codes against most available data measured at incident particle energies from 10 MeV to 800 GeV and have compared our results with predictions of other current models used by the nuclear community. Here, we present a brief description of our codes and show some illustrative results that testify that CEM2k and LAQGSM can be used as reliable event generators for space-radiation-shielding, cosmic-ray (CR) propagation, and other astrophysical applications. Finally, we show an example of combining of our calculated cross-sections with experimental data from our LANL T-16 compilation to produce evaluated files. Such evaluated files were successfully used in the model of particle propagation in the Galaxy GALPROP to better constrain the size of the CR halo.

As a result, we have been investigating high-speed computational procedures to allow shield analysis from the preliminary design concepts to the final design. In particular, we will discuss the progress towards a full three-dimensional and computationally efficient deterministic code for which the current HZETRN evaluates the lowest-order asymptotic term. HZETRN is the first deterministic solution to the Boltzmann equation allowing field mapping within the International Space Station (ISS) in tens of minutes using standard finite element method (FEM) geometry common to engineering design practice enabling development of integrated multidisciplinary design optimization methods. A single ray trace in ISS FEM geometry requires 14 ms and severely limits application of Monte Carlo methods to such engineering models. A potential means of improving the Monte Carlo efficiency in coupling to spacecraft geometry is given in terms of re-configurable computing and could be utilized in the final design as verification of the deterministic method optimized design.

The typical pattern of energy deposition in the matter by heavy ions on the microscopic scale is believed to produce spatially correlated damage in the DNA which is critical for radiobiological effects. We have investigated the influence of a lucite shielding on the initial production of very small DNA fragments in human fibroblasts irradiated with 1 GeV/u iron (Fe) ions. We also used γ-rays as reference radiation. Our results show: (1) a lower effect per incident ion when the shielding is used; (2) an higher DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSB) induction by Fe ions than by γ-rays in the size range 1–23 kbp; (3) a non-random DNA DSB induction by Fe ions.

In cell membranes this damage is thought to manifest itself in the form of holes. The primary evidence for microlesions comes from morphological studies of cell membranes, but this evidence is still controversial, especially since holes also have been observed in membranes of normal, nonirradiated, cells. However, it is possible that damage not associated with histologically discernable disruptions may still occur. In order to resolve this issue, we developed a system for detecting microlesions based on liposomes filled with fluorescent dye. We hypothesized that if microlesions form in these liposomes as the result of irradiation, then the entrapped dye will leak out into the surrounding medium in a measurable way. Polypropylene vials containing suspensions of vesicles composed of either dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, or a combination of egg phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol were irradiated at the Brookhaven National Laboratory using 56Fe ions at 1 GeV/amu. In several cases we obtained a significant loss of the entrapped dye above the background level. Our results suggest that holes may form in liposomes as the result of heavy ion irradiation, and that these holes are large enough to allow leakage of cell internal contents that are at least as large as a 1 nm diameter calcein molecule.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/09/15/ VL - 719 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 162 EP - 181 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is one of five Small Explorer (SMEX) missions undergoing Phase A study for NASA’s Office of Space Science. Around November 2004, NASA expects to select at least one of missions for development and flight. If selected, IBEX will provide the first global views of the Sun’s interstellar boundaries by taking a set of global energetic neutral atom (ENA) images at a variety of energies. Recent advances in ENA imaging have made it possible to remotely image space plasmas and ENA imaging is now poised to image the interstellar interactions and interstellar boundaries at the edge of our heliosphere. IBEX makes these exploratory ENA observations using two ultra-high sensitivity ENA cameras on a simple spinning spacecraft. IBEX’s highly elliptical Earth orbit allows viewing of the outer heliosphere from beyond the Earth’s relatively bright magnetospheric ENA emissions. IBEX’s sole, focused science objective is to discover the global interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium. IBEX achieves this objective by answering four fundamental science questions: (1) What is the global strength and structure of the termination shock? (2) How are energetic protons accelerated at the termination shock? (3) What are the global properties of the solar wind flow beyond the termination shock and in the heliotail? and (4) How does the interstellar flow interact with the heliosphere beyond the heliopause? The IBEX objective is central to the Sun-Earth Connection (SEC) theme as demonstrated by both the 2003 SEC Roadmap and 2002 NRC’s Decadal Survey and is specifically identified in the 2003 NASA-wide Strategic Plan. In short, the IBEX mission provides the first global views of the Sun’s interstellar boundaries, unveiling the physics of the heliosphere’s interstellar interaction, providing a deeper understanding of the heliosphere and thereby astrospheres throughout the galaxy, and creating the opportunity to make even greater unanticipated discoveries. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

SN - 16182642 AB - The use of a separation step, such as liquid chromatography, prior to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has become a common tool for highly selective and sensitive analyses. This type of coupling has several benefits including the ability to perform speciation analysis or to remove isobaric interferences. Several limitations of conventional instruments result from the necessity to scan or pulse the mass spectrometer to obtain a complete mass spectrum. When the instrument is operated in such a non-continuous manner, duty cycle is reduced, resulting in poorer absolute limits of detection. Additionally, with scanning instruments, spectral skew can be introduced into the measurement, limiting quantitation accuracy. To address these shortcomings, a high-performance liquid chromatograph has been coupled to an ICP-MS capable of continuous sample introduction and simultaneous multimass detection. These features have been realized with a novel detector array, the focal plane camera. Instrument performance has been tested for both speciation analysis and for the elimination of isobaric interferences. Absolute limits of detection in the sub picogram to tens of picograms regime are obtainable, while the added mass dimension introduced by simultaneous detection dramatically increases chromatographic peak capacity.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/09/15/ VL - 76 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 5345 EP - 5353 SN - 00032700 AB - A new quantitative cysteinyl-peptide enrichment technology (QCEI') was developed to achieve higher efficiency, greater dynamic range, and higher throughput in quantitative proteomics that use stable isotope labeling techniques combined with high-resolution liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS). This approach involves 18O labeling of tryptic peptides, high-efficiency enrichment of cysteine-containing peptides, and confident protein identification and quantification using the accurate mass and time tag strategy. Proteome profiling of naïve and in vitro-differentiated human mammary epithelial cells using QCEF resulted in the identification and quantification of 603 proteins in a single LC-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance MS analysis. Advantages of this technology include the following: (1) a simple, highly efficient method for enriching cysteinyl-peptides; (2) a high-throughput strategy suitable for extensive proteome analysis; and (3) improved labeling efficiency for better quantitative measurements. This technology enhances both the functional analysis of biological systems and the detection of potential clinical biomarkers.

Measurements were made at ground sites and aboard the Department of Energy''s G-1 research aircraft in an effort to understand the production of O3 in this area. Diurnal variations in O3 differed at the upwind Palo Verde, downtown Phoenix Super Site, and downwind Usery Pass surface stations. Air masses entering the metropolitan area had O3 concentrations greater than 40 ppbv. Maximum O3 concentrations near 100 ppbv were observed downtown at 14:00 local standard time; similar concentrations occurred much later in the day at the downwind site. One aircraft case study on 5 June, 1998 is presented to illustrate ozone production in the region. Calculated ozone production rate and efficiency varied from 1 to 7 ppbv h-1, and 1–3 molecules of O3 per molecule of NOz, respectively, for this flight. Hydrocarbon apportionment, based upon ground site and aircraft measurements, establishes that biogenic species are not significant contributors to O3 production in the Phoenix area. Therefore, carbon monoxide becomes a major contributor to OH reactivity as the more reactive anthropogenic hydrocarbons become depleted. The relatively low ozone production observed in this study is attributed to a low rate of radical production in the dry atmosphere.

JO - Biogeochemistry JF - Biogeochemistry Y1 - 2004/09/15/ VL - 70 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 403 EP - 426 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 01682563 AB - Long-term, weekly measurements of streamwater nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the West Fork of Walker Branch, a 1st order forested stream in eastern Tennessee, were used to assess the importance of in-stream processes for controlling stream concentrations and watershed exports. Over the period from 1991 to 2002, there was a slight declining trend in watershed export of dissolved inorganic N via streamflow, despite relatively high and constant wet N deposition rates (5 kg/ha/y). The watershed retains>90% of N deposition inputs. Concentrations of NO3- and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) showed distinct seasonal patterns with autumn and early spring minima and summer maxima. An end-member mixing analysis indicated that these seasonal concentration patterns were largely a result of seasonal variations in in-stream uptake processes, with net uptake of NO3- and SRP having the greatest impact on streamwater concentrations in November (reductions of 29 µg N/l and 2.5 µg P/l, respectively). This was likely a result of high rates of uptake by microbes colonizing new inputs of leaf detritus. For NO3- there was a secondary peak in net uptake in March and April (about 9 µg N/l) resulting from increased uptake by stream algae and bryophytes. Summer was a period of net release of NO3- to streamwater (peaking at 9 µg N/l in July) and minimal net effects on SRP concentrations. On average, in-stream processes resulted in removal of about 20% of the NO3- and 30% of the SRP entering the stream from the catchment annually. This study, as well as other recent work, suggests that in-stream processes are important buffers on stream nutrient concentrations and exports reducing the effects of changes in inputs and retention in terrestrial portions of watersheds.

These relations can be applied whether the hydrate is dissociated under bulk conditions, or in porous media. The first set of presented relations explicitly shows the dependence of the equilibrium fugacity and the enthalpy of dissociation on classical statistical thermodynamic parameters. The second set of relations for the fugacity and enthalpy represent a very simple empirical form which can be used to calculate these quantities, without having to resort to the use of the full statistical thermodynamic model. It is hoped that these relations will prove useful in engineering or computational endeavors where the speed and/or ease of their use may be advantageous.

Chronocoulometry has been used to determine the charge density at the electrode surface covered by the film of n-octadecanol. The surface pressure of this film was calculated from the charge density data and was found to be controlled by the electrode potential. We have demonstrated that by dialing the potential applied to the electrode via a potentiostat the monolayer adsorbed on the surface can be compressed or decompressed. Two states of the monolayer were observed. The transition between these states took place at a film pressure ∼12 mN m-1. Neutron reflectometry and polarization modulation Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy have been employed to determine the nature of the two states. The results show that octadecanol molecules form a two-dimensional solid film at all film pressures. At film pressures larger than 12 mN m-1, the film has low compressibility and n-octadecanol molecules assume a small tilt angle with respect to the surface normal. At film pressures lower than 12 mN m-1 a compressive film is formed in which the tilt angle progressively increases with decreasing surface pressure. We have demonstrated that the properties of a monolayer of n-octadecanol at the metal–solution interface display many similarities to the properties of that film at the air–solution interface.

The electrocatalyst has the reduced susceptibility to poisoning by CO, which, in addition to the strong segregation of the Pt atoms on the Ru substrate, determines this characteristic. Kinetic parameters were determined by electrochemical techniques using thin-film rotating disk electrodes. X-ray absorption spectroscopy near edge structure was used to determine the d-band vacancies of a Pt submonolayer on a surface of carbon-supported Ru nanoparticles, and to relate it to the bonding strength of CO. The data point the way to ultimately reduce Pt content in anode electrocatalysts while maintaining their high activity and thereby alleviating the problem of high Pt loading in existing fuel cell technology.

It considers the policy implications for communities who have their own local power resources rather than those distributed through transmission from distant sources such as dams, coal power plants or even renewables generation from wind farms, solar thermal or other resources. The issues today, post 911 and the energy crises in California, Northeast North America and Europe, signal the need for a new and different approach to energy supply(s), reliability and dissemination.Distributed generation (DG) as explored in the earlier paper appears to be one such approach that allows for local communities to become energy self-sufficient. Along with energy conservation, efficiency, and on-site generation, local power sources provide concrete definitions and understandings for heretofore ill defined concepts such as sustainability and eco-systems. The end result for any region and nation-state are “agile energy systems” which use flexible DG, on-site generation and conservation systems meeting the needs of local communities.Now the challenge is to demonstrate and provide economic and policy structures for implementing new advanced technologies for local communities. For institutionalizing economically viable and sound environmental technologies then new finance mechanisms must be established that better reflect the true costs of clean energy distributed in local communities. For example, the aggregation of procurement contracts for on-site solar systems is far more cost effective than for each business owner, public building or household to purchase its own separate units. Thus mass purchasing contracts that are link technologies as hybrids can dramatically reduce costs. In short public–private partnerships can implement the once costly clean energy technologies into local DG systems.

This paper examines potential technical barriers to this technology and identifies a minimum cost design.We discovered that hydrogen towers have a “crossover pressure” at which the critical mode of failure crosses over from fatigue to bursting. The crossover pressure for many turbine towers is between 1.0 and 1.5 MPa (approximately 10–15 atm). The hydrogen tower design resulting in the least expensive hydrogen storage uses all of the available volume for storage and is designed at its crossover pressure. An 84-m tall hydrogen tower for a 1.5-MW turbine would cost an additional $83,000 (beyond the cost of the conventional tower) and would store 940 kg of hydrogen at 1.1 MPa of pressure. The resulting incremental storage cost of $88/kg is approximately 30% of that for conventional pressure vessels.

Density measurements and Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that a significant portion of the Ni particles produced under the liquid nitrogen conditions are hollow spheres with a density of 6.67(4)g/cm3 while the particles produced in water are primarily solid spheres with a density of 8.40(1)g/cm3, close to the bulk nickel value of 8.90 g/cm3. Nickel/polymer composites incorporating the hollow and solid nickel microspheres were manufactured with volume fractions of 25% and 36%, respectively. The hollow and solid nickel composites exhibited saturation magnetostrictions of -24 and -28 ppm, respectively. In addition, small quantities of Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2) were spark eroded under liquid argon conditions with ∼10% by volume of the spark eroded particles being solid microspheres. Calculations indicate that aligned composites that incorporate these Terfenol-D microspheres could reach a strain value of 2000 ppm.

The structures form spontaneously in a Zn, Mg and O2/O3 flux, consisting of a single crystal, Zn-rich Zn1-xMgxO(x<0.02) core encased by an epitaxial Zn1-yMgyO(y>0.02) sheath. High resolution Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy shows core diameters as small as 4 nm. The cored structure forms spontaneously under constant flux due to a bimodal growth mechanism in which the core forms via bulk like vapor-liquid-solid growth, while the outer sheath grows as a heteroepitaxial layer. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence shows a slight blueshift in the near band edge peak, which is attributed to a few percent Mg doping in the nanoscale ZnO core. The catalyst-driven molecular beam epitaxy technique provides for site-specific nanorod growth on arbitrary substrates.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/09/15/ VL - 96 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3531 EP - 3539 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Intrinsic tensile stresses in polycrystalline films are often attributed to the coalescence of neighboring grains during the early stages of film growth, where the energy decrease associated with converting two free surfaces into a grain boundary provides the driving force for creating tensile stress. Several recent models have analyzed this energy trade off to establish relationships between the stress and the surface/interfacial energy driving force, the elastic properties of the film, and the grain size. To investigate these predictions, experiments were conducted with diamond films produced by chemical vapor deposition. A multistep processing procedure was used to produce films with significant variations in the tensile stress, but with essentially identical grain sizes. The experimental results demonstrate that modest changes in the deposition chemistry can lead to significant changes in the resultant tensile stresses. Two general approaches were considered to reconcile this data with existing models of stress evolution. Geometric effects associated with the shape of the growing crystal were evaluated with a finite element model of stress evolution, and variations in the surface/interfacial energy driving force were assessed in terms of both chemical changes in the deposition atmosphere and differences in the crystal growth morphology. These attempts to explain the experimental results were only partially successful, which suggests that other factors probably affect intrinsic tensile stress evolution due to grain boundary formation.

Transcriptional profiles revealed that 51, 4, and 13 respective genes and open reading frames (ORFs) on pCD, pPCP, and pMT were thermoinduced and that the majority of these genes carried by pCD were downregulated by Ca2+. In contrast, Ca2+ had little effect on chromosomal genes and ORFs, of which 235 were thermally upregulated and 274 were thermally downregulated. The primary consequence of these regulatory events is profligate catabolism of numerous metabolites available in the mammalian host.

We illustrate and test the method by applying it to hydrogen peroxide (HOOH). In particular, reaction rates for the O-O bond breaking in HOOH are calculated on fitted surfaces using the classical trajectory approach to test the accuracy of the IMLS method for providing potentials for dynamics calculations. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In the coupled, zero-field limit, total angular momentum (J) is the sum of spin (S) and rotational (N) momenta such that J and MJ are good angular momentum quantum numbers. In the coupled limit, transitions between Zeeman levels (ΔMJ≠0) cannot occur in the absence of an external torque. However, in the high-field limit, J and MJ are no longer good quantum numbers, as N and S are decoupled and only their projections on the z axis defined by the external field are invariant. In this case MN and MS remain as good quantum numbers so that angular momentum conserving transitions can occur subject to the selection rule ΔMN=-ΔMS. Determination of the magnetic moments of isolated molecules and clusters via a thermodynamics-based analysis requires that their magnetizations are measured at sufficiently large fields that spin-rotation effects become negligible and the Zeeman level structure approaches the free-spin case. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Car-Parrinello (CP) and Born-Oppenheimer (BO) molecular dynamics techniques are compared for systems containing 54 and 64 water molecules. At 300 K, an excellent agreement is found between radial distribution functions (RDFs) obtained with BO and CP dynamics, provided an appropriately small value of the fictitious mass parameter is used in the CP simulation. However, we find that the diffusion coefficients computed from CP dynamics are approximately two times larger than those obtained with BO simulations for T>400 K, where statistically meaningful comparisons can be made. Overall, both BO and CP dynamics at 300 K yield overstructured RDFs and slow diffusion as compared to experiment. In order to understand these discrepancies, the effect of proton quantum motion is investigated with the use of empirical interaction potentials. We find that proton quantum effects may have a larger impact than previously thought on structure and diffusion of the liquid. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The Pt75Re25 nanoparticles (containing from 586 to 4033 atoms) are assumed to have disordered fcc configurations and cubo-octahedral shapes (terminated by {111} and {100} facets), while the Pt50Re50 and Pt25Re75 nanoparticles (containing from 587 to 4061 atoms) are assumed to have disordered hcp configurations and truncated hexagonal bipyramidal shapes (terminated by {0001} and {1011} facets). We predict that due to the segregation process the equilibrium Pt-Re nanoparticles would achieve a core-shell structure, with a Pt-enriched shell surrounding a Pt-deficient core. For fcc cubo-octahedral Pt75Re25 nanoparticles, the shells consist of almost 100 at. % of Pt atoms. Even in the shells of hcp truncated hexagonal bipyramidal Pt50Re50 nanoparticles, the concentrations of Pt atoms exceed 85 at. % (35 at. % higher than the overall concentration of Pt atoms in these nanoparticles). Most prominently, all Pt atoms will segregate to the surfaces in the hcp truncated hexagonal bipyramidal Pt25Re75 nanoparticles containing less than 1000 atoms. We also find that the Pt atoms segregate preferentially to the vertex sites, less to edge sites, and least to facet sites on the shell of Pt-Re nanoparticles. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/09/15/ VL - 121 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5434 EP - 5444 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The physical and chemical properties of bulk Ce1-xTbxO2 and Ce1-xTbxOy nanoparticles (x≤0.5) were investigated using synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray adsorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), Raman spectroscopy (RS), and first-principles density-functional (DF) calculations. DF results and Raman spectra point to a small tetragonal distortion after introducing terbium in ceria. The results of XRD show a small contraction (<= 0.08 Å) in the cell dimensions. The presence of Tb generates strain in the lattice through the variation of the ionic radii and creation of crystal imperfections and O vacancies. The strain increases with the content of Tb and affects the chemical reactivity of the Ce1-xTbxOy nanoparticles towards hydrogen, SO2, and NO2. DF calculations for bulk Ce1-xTbxO2 and Ce8-nTbnO16 (n=0, 1, 2, or 4) clusters show oxide systems that are not fully ionic. The theoretical results and XANES spectra indicate that neither a Ce↔Tb exchange nor the introduction of oxygen vacancies in Ce1-xTbxOy significantly affect the charge on the Ce cations. In contrast, the O K-edge and Tb LIII-edge XANES spectra for Ce1-xTbxOy nanoparticles show substantial changes with respect to the corresponding spectra of Ce and Tb single oxide references. The Ce0.5Tb0.5Oy compounds exhibit a much larger Tb3+/Tb4+ ratio than TbO1.7. A comparison with the properties of Ce1-xZrxOy and Ce1-xCaxOy shows important differences in the charge distribution, the magnitude of the dopant induced strain in the oxide lattice, and a superior behavior in the case of the Ce1-xTbxOy systems. The Tb-containing oxides combine stability at high temperature against phase segregation and a reasonable concentration of O vacancies, making them attractive for chemical and catalytic applications. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Since then, we have acquired further evidence for this and have separated out the components of the binder to confirm that it is the nitroplasticizer that controls the nucleation energy in HMX formulations containing a nitroplasticizer/estane binder. While the exact distribution of nucleation energies as a function of synthesis route/defect type has not been worked out, it is likely that the solubility of the HMX in the nitroplasticizer is responsible for lowering the nucleation energy at the crystal surface, and therefore determines the nucleation rate for the formulation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

T1 - Uranyl sorption by smectites: spectroscopic assessment of thermodynamic modeling JO - Journal of Colloid & Interface Science JF - Journal of Colloid & Interface Science Y1 - 2004/09/15/ VL - 277 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 366 EP - 382 SN - 00219797 AB - Batch sorption experiments and thermodynamic modeling of the interaction of UO22+ and its hydrolysis products with two smectitic clay minerals, the reference material SWy-1 [McKinley et al., Clays Clay Miner. 43 (1995) 586] and the soil isolate LK-1 [Turner et al., Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 30 (1996) 3399], have established a conceptual framework for uranyl/smectite surface complexation based on general reactions between aqueous uranyl species and the reactive sites on the mineral surfaces. In this report, we have formulated and spectroscopically tested a set of hypotheses based on this conceptual framework using samples prepared under similar or identical conditions to evaluate the agreement between surface complexation/speciation as enumerated by spectroscopic characterization and that elaborated by the surface complexation model. Both steady-state and time-resolved optical emission spectral data are presented for uranyl on both smectite minerals as well as on the analogue phases SiO2 and Al(OH)3 spanning the pH range from ∼4 to 8 and the background electrolyte concentrations from ∼0.001 to 0.1 M. The spectral data enable the explicit identification of an outer-sphere exchange-site population of the hydrated cation [UO2(OH2)52+] in SWy-1. Spectral data also clearly establish the existence of inner-sphere surface complexes on the analogue phases and on the amphoteric clay crystallite edge sites [aluminol (>Al&z.sbnd;OH) and silanol (>Si&z.sbnd;OH)]. Based on the spectral characteristics of these uranyl edge-site populations, it is possible to readily infer for the SiO2, Al(OH)3, and SWy-1 samples the evolution in surface speciation with increasing pH to more hydrolyzed uranyl–surface complexes consistent with the conceptual model. The spectral domain characteristics of the edge-site populations on LK-1 with increasing pH suggest that there is no change in the hydrolysis of the uranyl–surface species. However, emission lifetime data are interpreted as indicating a shift in the surface speciation of the same uranyl–surface species from aluminol sites to silanol sites with pH increase. This observation is also consistent with the conceptual framework of the model. Data are also reported for Eu3+/smectite samples to provide additional insight into the exchange site populations. The emission spectra for Eu3+ in the basal-plane exchange sites differs significantly between SWy-1 and LK-1 samples reflecting a difference in the basal plane spacing between these two minerals, but the emission lifetime data suggest that the Eu3+ cation remains fully hydrated in both systems. The overall general description of surface speciation of uranyl on these mineral phases as enumerated by spectroscopy is in good accord with that derived from the conceptual thermodynamic model, lending added confidence to our understanding and descriptions of surface complexation behavior in this complex geochemical system.

Results show that there was only very little increase in mechanical properties of nanocomposites although we used GCNF-ODA reactive linkers to improve the interface. The interfacial stress level of nanocomposites should be much higher than that of traditional composites because of high property mismatch between the nanoscale reinforcement and the matrix. In order to design strong and stiff nanocomposite materials, one should use aligned nanofibers with a relatively large volume or weight fraction. Also, the length of the nanofiber should be long enough and its diameter not very small in order to facilitate the interfacial load transfer mechanism.

Here we show that analysis of the kinetics of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell expansion suggests a delay in activation following infection that allows unimpeded early viral replication. Viral kinetics do not differ between controls and vaccines during this delay phase. An increase in virus-specific CD8+ T-cell numbers around day 10 postinfection coincides with a slowing in viral replication in vaccinees and reduces peak viral loads by around 1 log. However, this response is too little too late to prevent establishment of persistent infection.

Poor coupling of the P450 catalytic cycle results in continuous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which affects signaling pathways and other cellular functions. P450 generation of ROS is tightly controlled by regulation of gene transcription as well as by modulation of interactions between protein constituents of the monooxygenase that affects its activity, coupling, and stability. Malfunction of these mechanisms may result in a burst of ROS production, which can cause lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. In turn, oxidative stress downregulates P450 levels by a variety of feedback mechanisms. This review provides an overview of recent advances in our understanding of these feedback mechanisms that serve to limit P450 production of ROS. Some of the more likely physiological and cellular effects of P450 generation of ROS are also discussed.

T1 - The effect of acidic solutions and growth conditions on the adsorptive properties of bacterial surfaces JO - Chemical Geology JF - Chemical Geology Y1 - 2004/09/16/ VL - 209 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 107 EP - 119 SN - 00092541 AB - Data must be collected over a wide pH range to accurately model the adsorption of protons and metal onto bacterial surfaces; however, alterations in the structural and chemical properties of bacterial surfaces resulting from exposure to acidic solutions may affect the mechanisms of cation binding. Binding properties of bacteria may also be affected by nutrient and oxygen levels present during their growth. We measured Cd, Co, and Pb adsorption onto bacteria by using (1) bacteria washed with acidic solutions (pH≈1.5), (2) non-acid-washed bacteria exposed to acidic parent solutions, and (3) non-acid-washed bacteria exposed to neutral parent solutions. The purpose was to determine the effect of acidic conditions on the adsorptive properties of Pseudomonas mendocina, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus. We also measured Co adsorption onto bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens) grown under nutrient-rich and nutrient-limited conditions and onto the facultative bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Bacteria exposed to acidic solutions adsorbed more metals than bacteria not exposed to such solutions. We attribute the increase in adsorption to the irreversible displacement of structurally bound Mg and Ca by protons. After displacement, the protonated sites can participate in reversible metal adsorption reactions. Thermodynamic modeling suggests that concentrations of functional group sites on bacterial surfaces increase by as much as five times in response to acid washing, assuming that stability constants for the bacterial surface complexes remain the same. Although the sizes of the bacteria changed markedly in response to nutrient limits and oxygen content during growth, the mass-normalized extent of Co adsorption onto both P. fluorescens and S. oneidensis MR-1 was independent of growth conditions. We conclude that adsorption constants derived from experiments in which the bacteria are never exposed to acidic conditions probably provide the most accurate estimates of the extent of bacteria–metal adsorption in natural settings.

These antennae are one of nature's supreme examples of nanoscale engineering, and are constructed from specialized light-harvesting complexes formed of proteins that bind chlorophylls and carotenoids. More than 50 years ago, Theodore Forster described a method for calculating the rate of energy transfer between molecules from the overlap of the donor molecule's fluorescence spectrum and the acceptor molecule's absorption spectrum. The theory has had an enormous impact on biology, chemistry and physics. Collectively, high-resolution structural models, ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations have helped to expose the complex and, in some cases, subtle relationships between structure and light-harvesting in photosynthetic systems.

This is partially explained by numerous gene-poor regions that display a remarkable degree of noncoding conservation with non-mammalian vertebrates, suggesting that they are functionally constrained. In total, we compiled 177.7 million base pairs of highly accurate finished sequence containing 923 manually curated protein-coding genes including the protocadherin and interleukin gene families. We also completely sequenced versions of the large chromosome-5-specific internal duplications. These duplications are very recent evolutionary events and probably have a mechanistic role in human physiological variation, as deletions in these regions are the cause of debilitating disorders including spinal muscular atrophy.

The transverse momentum spectra of the parent particles are taken from thermal model fits and their are fit under the assumption that they follow a number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling law expected from quark-coalescence models. The of pions from resonance particle decays is found to be similar to the measured pion . We also propose the measurement of electron as a means to extract open-charm and investigate whether a thermalized system of quasi-free quarks and gluons (a quark–gluon plasma) is created in collisions of Au nuclei at RHIC.

(2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 17173–17180). Here we report the determination of the YiiP oligomeric state in detergent-lipid micelles and in membranes. Molecular masses of YiiP solubilized with dodecyl-, undecyl-, decyl-, or nonyl-β-D-maltoside were measured directly using size-exclusion chromatography coupled with laser light-scattering photometry, yielding a mass distribution of YiiP homo-oligomers within a narrow range (68.0–68.8 kDa) that equals the predicted mass of a YiiP dimer within experimental error. The detergent-lipid masses associated with YiiP in the mixed micelles were found to increase from 135.5 to 232.6 kDa, with an apparent correlation with the alkyl chain length of the maltoside detergents. Cross-linking the detergent-solubilized YiiP with 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl] carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) resulted in a dimeric cross-linked product in an EDC concentration-dependent manner. The oligomeric state of the purified YiiP in reconstituted membranes was determined by electron microscopic analysis of two-dimensional YiiP crystals in negative stain. A projection structure calculated from measurable optical diffractions to 25 Å revealed a pseudo-2-fold symmetry within a molecular boundary of ∼75 × 40 Å, indicative of the presence of YiiP dimers in membranes. These data provide direct structural evidence for a dimeric association of YiiP both in detergent-lipid micelles and in the reconstituted lipid bilayer. The functional relevance of the dimeric association in YiiP is discussed.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/09/17/ VL - 279 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 39757 EP - 39766 SN - 00219258 AB - We previously proposed that the N-terminal 1000-residue bbaa1 domain of apolipoprotein B (apoB) forms a bulk lipid pocket homologous to that of lamprey lipovitellin. In support of this “lipid pocket” hypothesis, we demonstrated that apoB:1000 (residues 1–1000) is secreted by a stable transformant of McA-RH7777 cells as a monodisperse particle with high density lipoprotein 3 (HDL3) density. In contrast, apoB:931 (residues 1–931), missing only 69 residues of the sequence homologous to lipovitellin, was secreted as a particle considerably more dense than HDL3. In the present study we have determined the stoichiometry of the lipid component of the apoB:931 and apoB:1000 particles. The secreted [³H]-glycerol-labeled apoB:1000 particles, isolated by nondenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, contained 50 phospholipid (PL) and 11 triacylglycerol (TAG) molecules/particle. In contrast, apoB:931 particles contained only a few molecules of PL and were devoid of TAG. The unlabeled apoB:1000 particles, isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography, contained 56 PL, 8 TAG, and 7 cholesteryl ester molecules/particle. The surface to core lipid ratio of apoB:1000-containing particles was ∼4:1 and was not affected by oleate supplementation. Although very small amounts of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) were associated with apoB:1000 particles, it never approached a 1:1 molar ratio of MTP to apoB. These results support a model in which (i) the first 1000 amino acid residues of apoB are competent to complete the lipid pocket without a structural requirement for MTP; (ii) a portion, or perhaps all, of the amino acid residues between 931 and 1000 of apoB-100 are critical for the formation of a stable, bulk lipid-containing nascent lipoprotein particle, and (iii) the lipid pocket created by the first 1000 residues of apoB-100 is PL-rich, suggesting a small bilayer type organization and has a maximum capacity on the order of 50 molecules of phospholipid.

The non-linear fitting of these data provided the bi-Langmuir model as best isotherm model, a conclusion further supported by the results of the calculation of the affinity energy distribution (AED). The isotherm parameters were obtained using several methods, the fitting of FA isotherm data, the calculation of the AED, and the inverse method, that uses overloaded elution band profiles. The different values obtained are in close agreement. They allow a quantitative investigation of the separate properties of the low- and the high-energy sites on the adsorbent surface. Increasing the temperature decreases the saturation capacity of the low-energy adsorption sites and the adsorption constant of the high-energy sites. In contrast, increasing the temperature does not cause any significant changes in either the saturation capacity of the high-energy sites or the adsorption constant of the low-energy sites.

A photopatterning technique was used to cast in situ crosslinked polyacrylamide gel in a microchannel to perform SDS–PAGE. A fluorescent protein marker sample (Mr range of 20000–200000) was separated in less than 30s in less than 2mm of channel length. Crosslinked polyacrylamide gel, patterned in channels using UV light, provides higher sieving power and sample stacking effect, therefore yielding faster and higher-resolution separation in a chip. IEF of proteins was also achieved in a microchannel, and several proteins were focussed within tens of seconds in mm-length channels. As resolution in IEF is independent of separation distance, focusing in ultra-short channels results in not only faster separation but also more concentrated bands potentially allowing detection of low-concentration species.

Improved resolution allows not only a wider range of materials to be imaged, but also allows each material to be imaged in several possible orientations. Underfocusing the main imaging lens can also partially compensate for the existence of spherical aberration, but the images recorded are similarly highly delocalized and contain low signal strength. Previous evidence of a sub-angstrom point spread function from a scanning, with apparent spots in a Fourier transform and an intensity profile of a single atom, is not unambiguous because such measurements are sensitive to errors due to noise, instabilities in the microscope, and incorrect adjustment of the detector black level.

Calmodulin in this study contains a site-specifically inserted tetra-cysteine motif that reacted with FlAsH, a biarsenic fluorescein derivative that can be rotationally locked to the host protein. A photon time-stamping technique was employed that combined the capability for both subnanosecond time resolution of time-correlated single photon counting and single-molecule time trajectory recording. The study provided direct characterization of the nanosecond motions of calmodulin tethered to a biologically compatible surface under physiological buffer solution. The unique technical approaches are applicable to single-molecule study of protein conformational dynamics and protein-protein interactions at a wide range of time scales and without the signal convolution of probe-dye molecular motions.

To characterize the aqueous Pu4+/3+EDTA species formed under the wide range of conditions of these processes, potentiometry, spectrophotometry, and cyclic voltammetry were used to measure solution equilibria. The results reveal new EDTA and mixed-ligand complexes and provide more accurate stability constants for previously identified species. In acidic solution (pH < 4) and at 1:1 ligand to metal ratio, PuY (where Y4- is the tetra-anion of EDTA) is the predominant species, with an overall formation constant of log β110 = 26.44. At higher pH, the hydrolysis species, PuY(OH)- and PuY(OH)22-, form with the corresponding overall stability constants log β11-1 = 21.95 and log β11-2 = 15.29. The redox potential of the complex PuY at pH = 2.3 was determined to be E½ 342 mV. The correlation between redox potential, pH, and the protonation state of PuY- was derived to estimate the redox potential of the Pu4+/3+Y complex as a function of pH. Under conditions of neutral pH and excess EDTA relative to Pu4+, PuY24- forms with an overall formation constant of log β120 = 35.39. In the presence of ancillary ligands, mixed-ligand complexes form, as exemplified by the citrate and carbonate complexes PuY(citrate)3- (log β1101 = 33.45) and PuY(carbonate)2- (log β1101 = 35.51). Cyclic voltammetry shows irreversible electrochemical behavior for these coordinatively saturated Pu4+ complexes: The reduction wave is shifted approximately -400 mV from the reduction wave of the complex PuY, while the oxidation wave is invariant.

The resultant double alkoxides were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction to be [Rb(µ-ONep)4(py)Ti(ONep)]2 (6), [Rb(µ-DMP)Ti(DMP)4]∞ (7), and [Rb(µ-DMP)2(µ-ONep)2Ti(ONep)]∞ (8).Compound 1 is the previously reported dinculear species with trigonal bipyramidal Ti metal centers whereas compound 2 is a monomer with a tetrahedral Ti center. Suitable X-ray quality crystals of 3 were not isolated. Compounds 4 and 5 demonstrate extended polymeric networks with Rb coordination ranging from two to five utilizing terminal µ- and µ3-OR ligands and π-interactions of neighboring OAr ligands. The double alkoxide 6 revealed a simple tetranuclear structure with µ-ONep acting as the bridge, terminal ONep ligands on the Ti, and one terminal py on the Rb. For 7 and 8, the π-interaction facilitated the formation of extended polymeric systems. All complexes were further characterized by FT-IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.

We tested charge conjugation symmetry (C) by searching for decays of ortho- and para-positronium to the "wrong" number of photons. We measured the five-photon annihilation mode of ortho-positronium, finding agreement with tree-level QED calculations at order α8. In a second experiment, we searched for decays of polarized ortho-positronium which violate the combined symmetry operation CPT. We improved existing limits on this CPT test by roughly a factor of ten. We are studying the feasibility of an experiment to search for "invisible" decays of ortho-positronium. Invisible decays could be caused by extra dimensions (invoked in string theories). General requirements for an experiment sensitive to decay branching ratios of order 10-9 are discussed.

The novel components of the method are driven by the need to reconcile traditional AMR techniques with the staggered variables and moving, deforming meshes associated with Lagrange based ALE schemes. Interlevel coupling is achieved with refinement and coarsening operators, as well as mesh motion boundary conditions. Elliptic mesh relaxation schemes are extended for use within the context of an adaptive mesh hierarchy. Numerical examples are used to highlight the utility of the method over single level ALE solution methods, facilitating substantial efficiency improvements and enabling the efficient solution of a highly resolved three-dimensional Richtmyer–Meshkov instability problem.

These special surfaces are ice H2O(0001), α-Al2O3(0001), α-Ga(010), and Si(111)-(2×1). The root-mean-square vibration amplitudes in these surfaces are at least double the bulk values. The common cause that may explain these vibration amplitudes is that the surface atoms (or molecules in the case of ice) only have back-bonds that are nearly parallel to the surface. In this geometry, vibrations, especially perpendicular to the surface, involve primarily bond bending rather than bond stretching/compression: since bond bending is relatively soft, the corresponding vibration modes can have larger amplitudes. It is suggested that theory examine and confirm this cause of enhanced surface vibration amplitudes and explore its implications for other phenomena such as adsorption and catalysis.

Thus, though weakly, configurational entropy favors wetting by deposited H2O over formation of 3-D crystalline mounds. A Pauling-type estimate yields a 0 K adlayer entropy of ~1/2kB ln(9/2), almost twice that of ice Ih. Thus, at 150 K, where periodic adlayers on metals are observed, residual entropy reduces their free energies relative to a 3-D ice crystal by 4.5 meV/molecule, or ~3% of the cost of the adlayers' broken H-bonds. A Debye model implies that vibrational entropy contributes no more than another 4.4 meV/molecule to the free energy preference for wetting, at 150 K. This information, though only a bound because of substantial uncertainty in measured adlayer Debye temperatures, is nonetheless sufficient to conclude that T = 0 K energies dominate the free energy balance between wetting and mound formation.

The experiments were performed in the presence and absence of excess hydrogen and as a function of temperature. Upon cyclohexene adsorption on Pt(111) at 1.5 Torr, 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexadienes and π-allyl C6H9 were observed in the presence of excess hydrogen. Cyclohexane adsorption at 1.5 Torr resulted in the formation of cyclohexyl on the surface in the presence of excess hydrogen but π-allyl C6H9 in absence of excess hydrogen. 1-Methylcyclohexene formed methylcyclohexenyl on the surface only in the presence of excess hydrogen. n-Hexane and 3-methylpentane adsorbed molecularly on Pt(111) at 296 K in the presence of excess hydrogen. 2-Methylpentane and 1-hexene were readily dehydrogenated to form metallacyclobutane and hexylidyne even at 296 K, regardless of the presence of excess hydrogen. n-Hexane was dehydrogenated to form hexylidyne or metallacyclic species at high temperature in the presence of excess hydrogen. Hexylidyne and metallacyclic species were also main surface intermediates in dehydrogenation of 2- and 3-methylpentane. The absence of excess hydrogen induced dehydrocyclization of n-hexane to form π-allyl c-C6H9. On the basis of the SFG results, the mechanism of the n-hexane conversion to benzene is discussed.

Stand-off analysis for Martian exploration imposes particular requirements on instrumentation, and it is necessary to first test the performance of such a system in the laboratory. In this paper, we test the capabilities of two different experimental setups. The first one is dedicated to the qualitative analysis of metals and rocks at distances between 3 and 12 m. With the second one, we have obtained quantitative results for aluminum alloys and developed a spectral database under Martian conditions for sulfur and chlorine, two elements that are geologically interesting but generally difficult to detect by LIBS under standard conditions (atmospheric pressure, close distance). These studies were carried out to determine an optimal instrumental design for in situ Mars analysis. The quality of analytical results affected by the optical elements and spectrometer has been particularly highlighted.

The cluster is described using an embedded-atom potential, and the interaction between the molecule and the cluster is modeled by a LEPS (London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato) potential energy function. Dissociative chemisorption probabilities are computed as functions of the impact parameter and the collision energy, and are used to evaluate the reaction cross-sections. Effects of the initial rovibrational states of the molecule and the temperatures of the clusters on the reactive channel are analyzed. Reaction rate constants are also computed and compared with those measured experimentally.

Analysis of the mechanisms generating such homoplasy requires an independent molecular phylogeny. To this end, we sequenced 24 complete mitochondrial genomes (22 plethodontids and two outgroup taxa), added data for three species from GenBank, and performed partitioned and unpartitioned Bayesian, maximum likelihood, and maximum parsimony phylogenetic analyses. We explored four dataset partitioning strategies to account for evolutionary process heterogeneity among genes and codon positions, all of which yielded increased model likelihoods and decreased numbers of supported nodes in the topologies (Bayesian posterior probability >0.95) relative to the unpartitioned analysis. Our phylogenetic analyses yielded congruent trees that contrast with the traditional morphology-based taxonomy; the monophyly of three of four major groups is rejected. Reanalysis of current hypotheses in light of these evolutionary relationships suggests that (i) a larval life history stage reevolved from a direct-developing ancestor multiple times; (ii) there is no phylogenetic support for the "Out of Appalachia" hypothesis of plethodontid origins; and (iii) novel scenarios must be reconstructed for the convergent evolution of projectile tongues, reduction in toe number, and specialization for defensive tail loss. Some of these scenarios imply morphological transformation series that proceed in the opposite direction than was previously thought. In addition, they suggest surprising evolutionary lability in traits previously interpreted to be conservative.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/09/21/ VL - 101 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 13826 EP - 13831 SN - 00278424 AB - Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a highly uniform clone that diverged recently from the enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Despite their close genetic relationship, they differ radically in their pathogenicity and transmission. Here, we report the complete genomic sequence of Y. pseudotuberculosis IP32953 and its use for detailed genome comparisons with available Y. pestis sequences. Analyses of identified differences across a panel of Yersinia isolates from around the world reveal 32 Y. pestis chromosomal genes that, together with the two Y. pestis-specific plasmids, to our knowledge, represent the only new genetic material in Y. pestis acquired since the the divergence from Y. pseudotuberculosis. In contrast, 149 other pseudogenes (doubling the previous estimate) and 317 genes absent from Y. pestis were detected, indicating that as many as 13% of Y. pseudotuberculosis genes no longer function in Y. pestis. Extensive insertion sequence-mediated genome rearrangements and reductive evolution through massive gene loss, resulting in elimination and modification of preexisting gene expression pathways, appear to be more important than acquisition of genes in the evolution of Y. pestis. These results provide a sobering example of how a highly virulent epidemic clone can suddenly emerge from a less virulent, closely related progenitor.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/09/21/ VL - 101 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 13867 EP - 13872 SN - 00278424 AB - Quorum sensing triggers virulence factor expression in medically important bacterial pathogens in response to a density-dependent increase in one or more autoinducing pheromones. Here, we show that phagocyte-derived oxidants target these autoinducers for inactivation as an innate defense mechanism of the host. In a skin infection model, expression of phagocyte NADPH oxidase, myeloperoxidase, or inducible nitric oxide synthase was critical for defense against a quorum-sensing pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, but not for defense against a quorum sensing-deficient mutant. A virulence-inducing peptide of S. aureus was inactivated in vitro and in vivo by reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates, including HOCl and ONOO-. Inactivation of the autoinducer prevented both the up-regulation of virulence gene expression and the downstream sequelae. MS analysis of the inactivated peptide demonstrated that oxidation of the C-terminal methionine was primarily responsible for loss of activity. Treatment of WT but not NADPH oxidase-deficient mice with N-acetyl methionine to scavenge the inhibitory oxidants increased in vivo quorum sensing independently of the bacterial burden at the site of infection. Thus, oxidant-mediated inactivation of an autoinducing peptide from S. aureus is a critical innate defense mechanism against infection with this pathogen.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/09/21/ VL - 101 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 13945 EP - 13950 SN - 00278424 AB - Change in redox status has long been known to link light to the posttranslational regulation of chloroplast enzymes. So far, studies have been conducted primarily with thioredoxin-linked members of the stroma that function in a broad array of biosynthetic and degradatory processes. Consequently, little is known about the role of redox in regulating the growing number of enzymes found to occur in the lumen, the site of oxygen evolution in thylakoid membranes. To help fill this gap, we have studied AtFKBP13, an FKBP-type immunophilin earlier shown to interact with a redox-active protein of the lumen, and found the enzyme to contain a pair of disulfide bonds in x-ray structural studies. These disulfides, which in protein mutagenesis experiments were shown to be essential for the associated peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity, are unique to chloroplast FKBPs and are absent in animal and yeast counterparts. Both disulfide bonds were redox-active and were reduced by thioredoxin from either chloroplast or bacterial sources in a reaction that led to loss of enzyme activity. The results suggest a previously unrecognized paradigm for redox regulation in chloroplasts in which activation by light is achieved in concert with oxygen evolution by the oxidation of sulfhydryl groups (conversion of SH to S--S). Such a mechanism, occurring in the thylakoid lumen, is in direct contrast to regulation of enzymes in the stroma, where reduction of disulfides targeted by thioredoxin (S--S converted to SH) leads to an increase in activity in the light.

We also investigate on the different nonlinear excitations forming during sliding and characterizing the dynamical states observed at different strengths of the imposed driving. The dependence of the static friction on the ratio of the model interaction strengths is analyzed.

STM indicates disordered adsorption of intact C60 molecules on the surface up to a coverage of 1 ML, followed by the formation of a C60 multilayer. No step decoration is observed indicating that the molecules are immobile at room temperature. SXPS data of the Al 2p core level indicate a strong interaction of the C60 molecules with the Al atoms of the substrate in the sub-monolayer regime. Valence band data indicate that the C60 multilayer desorbs after annealing to 700 K leaving only the strongly bonded layer on the surface.

The model performance is evaluated using surface and airborne meteorological and chemical measurements made as part of the 2000 Texas Air Quality Study. A simulation that employed the reported mobile, area, biogenic, and point source emissions produced ozone mixing ratios as high as 120ppb and distributions of nitrogen oxides that were similar to measurements at most locations, but the model underestimated ozone mixing ratios greater than 140ppb that were located just downwind of petrochemical facilities. When the point source emission rates of ethene and propene were increased by a factor of 10, the simulated peak ozone levels were in better agreement with surface, aircraft, and lidar observations. The magnitude of the simulated ethene and olefin concentrations were in better agreement with canister samples aloft as well; however, there was still a large amount of scatter in the results. While the highest ozone mixing ratios were produced just downwind of large point source emissions of VOCs, sensitivity simulations also showed that reductions in anthropogenic emissions of NOx would be needed to reduce ozone mixing ratios over a larger area.

The role, if any, that iodine chemistry plays in the polar ozone depletion episodes is not known. These events are rationalized today largely in terms of Br2- and BrCl-initiated reactions. The potential for enhancement of ozone depletions through the presence of iodine-containing molecules (I2, IBr, ICl, CH2I2, CH2IBr, CH2ICl, and CH3I) is investigated in this study. Computer simulations of the homogeneous chemistry are made using a reasonably complete reaction mechanism for Br-, Cl- and I-containing species together with representative chemistry of trace gases in the clean troposphere. The extent of uncertain alternative pathways and efficiencies for OIO and I2O2 photolyses are varied over a range of possible values to establish the sensitivity of the depletion events to these variables. The study shows that significant enhancements of the polar ozone depletion are expected when small amounts of iodine-containing compounds such as CH2I2, IBr, or ICl are present in a polar air mass containing representative Br2–BrCl-trace gas mixtures. The synergistic effect of the iodine compounds results from additional halogen-atom formation from IO–IO, IO–BrO, and IO–ClO reactions. Measurements of IO and precursor iodine-containing compounds are encouraged for future polar spring studies, as well as currently acknowledged important trace species (O3, CH2O, BrO, Br2, and BrCl).

Mercury depletion JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2004/09/22/ VL - 38 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 5105 EP - 5116 SN - 13522310 AB - Simulations of atomic mercury depletion episodes in the polar spring are now based largely on Br2 and Br-atom initiated chemistry. Chlorine is believed to contribute little to the observed depletion. The role, if any, that the presence of iodine compounds play in Hg-atom depletion is unknown at present. The theoretically predicted instability of the HgI species suggests that I-atom reactions with mercury may be an unimportant loss process. However, iodine atoms react rapidly with ozone to develop IO radicals that interact with BrO radicals to enhance Br- and I-atom concentrations, so an indirect influence of iodine compounds on Hg removal might be expected. Computer simulations are described in this study that test this hypothesis using the homogeneous portion of the chemistry of the mercury depletion in the troposphere. Conditions are chosen equivalent to the 1300–1400h on a clear day (17 March) at the location of Barrow, Alaska (Atmos. Environ. 37 (2003) 4467). Small amounts of reactive trace gases, representative of the Arctic spring, are present initially with typical background levels of Hg (0.24ppt) and 50ppb of O3. The simulations show that gaseous atomic mercury depletion in typical Br2 and BrCl mixtures can be enhanced significantly by the presence of small amounts of iodine-containing compounds (I2, CH2I2, CH2IBr, CH2ICl, IBr, and ICl). The major initial product of the possible mercury reactions is HgBr. The subsequent coupling reactions of this species with Br, BrO, Cl, ClO, I, IO, and OH radicals are expected to lead to a variety of reactive gaseous mercury-containing products.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/09/22/ VL - 121 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 5661 EP - 5675 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - A valence full configuration interaction study with a polarized double-ζ quality basis set has been carried out for the lowest 49 electronic states of AmCl+. The calculations use a pseudopotential treatment for the core electrons and incorporate a one-electron spin–orbit interaction operator. Electrons in the valence s, p, d, and f subshells were included in the active space. The resulting electronic potential energy curves are largely repulsive. The chemical bonding is ionic in character with negligible participation of 5f electrons. The molecular f–f spectroscopy of AmCl+ arises essentially from an in situ Am2+ core with states slightly redshifted by the presence of chloride ion. Am++Cl asymptotes which give rise to the few attractive potential energy curves can be predicted by analysis of the f–f spectroscopy of isolated Am+ and Am2+. The attractive curves have substantial binding energies, on the order of 75–80 kcal/mol, and are noticeably lower than recent indirect measurements on the isovalent EuCl+. An independent empirical correlation supports the predicted reduction in AmCl+ binding energy. The energies of the repulsive curves are strongly dependent on the selection of the underlying atomic orbitals while the energies of the attractive curves do not display this sensitivity. The calculations were carried out using our recently developed parallel spin–orbit configuration interaction software. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

These are all superhalogen species with extremely high electron binding energies. The vertical electron detachment energies for NaxClx+1- were measured to be 5.6, 6.46, 6.3, and 7.0 eV, for x=1–4, respectively. Our ab initio gradient embedded genetic algorithm program detected the linear global minima for NaCl2- and Na2Cl3- and three-dimensional structures for the larger species. Na3Cl4- was found to have C3v symmetry, which can be viewed as a Na4Cl4 cube missing a corner Na+ cation, whereas Na4Cl5- was found to have C4v symmetry, close to a 3×3 planar structure. Excellent agreement between the theoretically calculated and the experimental spectra was observed, confirming the obtained structures and demonstrating the power of the developed genetic algorithm technique. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Femtosecond infrared spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studies on the mechanisms of organometallic reactions and has recently revealed the mechanism of one-electron oxidative addition in the photochemistry of the rhenium dimer. The photochemical disproportionation of metal-metal bound carbonyl dimers was reported to involve odd-electron radical intermediates. At first glance, ultrafast formation of two ionic disproportionation products is surprising. Femtosecond IR spectroscopy in combination with DFT calculations has allowed the first real-time observation and characterization of ultrafast 19e intermediate and disproportionated product formation upon the photolysis of a transition metal dimers.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/09/22/ VL - 126 IS - 37 M3 - Article SP - 11529 EP - 11542 SN - 00027863 AB - A series of α,ω-bis donor substituted oligophenylenevinylene dimers held together by the [2.2]-paracyclophane core were synthesized to probe how the number of repeat units and through-space delocalization influence two-photon absorption cross sections. Specifically, the paracyclophane molecules are tetra(4,7,12,15)-(4'-dihexylaminostyryl)[2.2]paracyclophane (3RD), tetra(4,7,12,15)-(4"-(4'-dihexylaminostyryl)-styryl)(2.2]paracyclophane (5RD), and tetra(4,7,12,15)-(4'''-(4"-(4'-dihexylaminostyryl)styryl)styryl)(2.2]-paracyclophane (7RD). The compounds bis(1,4)-(4'-dihexylaminostyryl)benzene (3R) and bis(1,4)-(4"-(4'-dihexylaminostyryl)styryl)benzene (5R) were also synthesized to reveal the properties of the "monomeric" counterparts. The two-photon absorption cross sections were determined by the two-photon induced fluorescence method using both femtosecond and nanosecond pulsed lasers as excitation sources. While there is a red shift in the linear absorption spectra when going from the "monomer" chromophore to the paracyclophane "dimer" (i.e., 3R → 3RD, 5R → 5RD), there is no shift in the two-photon absorption maxima. A theoretical treatment of these trends and the dependence of transition dipole moments on molecular structure rely on calculations that interfaced time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) techniques with the collective electronic oscillator (CEO) program. These theoretical and experimental results indicate that intermolecular interactions can strongly affect Bu states but weakly perturb Ag states, due to the small dipole-dipole coupling between Ag states on the chromophores in the dimer.

The displacement of the 99Tc chemical shift as a function of temperature has been measured over the range 10-45 °C for the three isotopomers Tc(16O)4-, Tc(16O)3(16O)-, and Tc(16O)3(17O)- at natural oxygen isotope abundance levels, and in addition the temperature dependence of the Tc-O scalar coupling was determined for the Tc(16O)3(17O)- isotopomer. Values for these parameters were computed using relativistic spin-orbit density functional theory with an unsolvated ion approximation and with treatments of the solvated ion based on the COnductor-like Screening MOdel (COSMO) approach. The temperature and isotope dependence of 99Tc NMR parameters inferred by these methods were in good quantitative agreement with experimental observations. The change in the Tc-O bond length associated with the changes in temperatures considered here was determined to be of the order of 10-4 Å. Vibrational energies and Tc-O bond lengths derived from these models also compare favorably with previous experimental studies.

The nanocrystals were paramagnetic when isolated by surface-passivating ligands, weakly ferromagnetic (Ms ≈ 1.5 × 10-3 μB/Co2+ at 300 K) when aggregated, and strongly ferromagnetic (up to Ms = 1.9 μB/Co2+ at 300 K) when spin-coated into nanocrystalline films. X-ray absorption data reveal that cobalt is in the Co2+ oxidation state in all samples. In addition to providing strong experimental support for the existence of intrinsic ferromagnetism in cobalt-doped TiO2, these results demonstrate the possibility of using colloidal TiO2 diluted magnetic semiconductor nanocrystals as building blocks for assembly of ferromagnetic semiconductor nanostructures with potential spintronics applications.

Photoelectron spectra of hydrated succinate, adipate, and tetradecandioic dianions with up to 20 water molecules were obtained. Even-odd effects were observed as a result of the alternate solvation mode of the two negative charges with increasing solvent numbers. The competition between hydrophilic interactions of the charged carboxylate groups and hydrophobic interactions of the aliphatic chain leads to conformation changes in large water clusters containing dicarboxylates bigger than adipate. It also leads to a transition from bulk aqueous solvation of small dicarboxylates to solvation at the water/vapor interlace of the larger ones. Whereas oxalate and adipate solvate in the inner parts of the aqueous slab, suberate and longer dicarboxylate dianions have a strong propensity to the surface. This transition also has consequences for the folding of the flexible aliphatic chain and for the structure of aqueous solvation shells around the dianions.

Details of these correlations can be revealed by studying the break-up of these systems into their constituents. The fragmentation might be initiated by the absorption of a single photon, by collision with a charged particle or by exposure to a strong laser pulse: if the interaction causing the excitation is sufficiently understood, the fragmentation process can then be used as a tool to investigate the bound initial state. The interaction and resulting fragment motions therefore pose formidable challenges to quantum theory. Here we report the coincident measurement of the momenta of both nuclei and both electrons from the single-photon-induced fragmentation of the deuterium molecule. The results reveal that the correlated motion of the electrons is strongly dependent on the inter-nuclear separation in the molecular ground state at the instant of photon absorption.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/09/24/ VL - 279 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 40263 EP - 40266 SN - 00219258 AB - The organic matrix in forming enamel consists largely of the amelogenin protein self-assembled into nanospheres that are necessary to guide the formation of the unusually long and highly ordered hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystallites that constitute enamel. Despite its ability to direct crystal growth, the interaction of the amelogenin protein with HAP is unknown. However, the demonstration of growth restricted to the c-axis suggests a specific protein-crystal interaction, and the charged COOH terminus is often implicated in this function. To elucidate whether the COOH terminus is important in the binding and orientation of amelogenin onto HAP, we have used solid state NMR to determine the orientation of the COOH terminus of an amelogenin splice variant, LRAP (leucine-rich amelogenin protein), which contains the charged COOH terminus of the full protein, on the HAP surface. These experiments demonstrate that the methyl 13C-labeled side chain of Ala46 is 8.0 Å from the HAP surface under hydrated conditions, for the protein with and without phosphorylation. The experimental results provide direct evidence orienting the charged COOH-terminal region of the amelogenin protein on the HAP surface, optimized to exert control on developing enamel crystals.

ECAP in its original form can only process short metal bars and is labor intensive. Conform is a technique that has been used to continuously form metals into various shapes. By combining these two techniques, we were able to produce UFG structures in an Al wire and to significantly increase its strength.

This study explores systematically the coupled effects of material response, outer corner angle (Ψ = 0°, 45°, or 90°), and friction on ECAE deformation, which can be effectively analyzed through two key characteristics of the PDZ alone. These characteristics, the morphology and strain-rate distribution within the PDZ, are largely responsible for the heterogeneity in strain that develops in the sample at the end of a single pass. Strain hardening, Ψ, and friction were all found to have some effect on the PDZ, though under their combined influence, one tends to dominate over the others. Strain hardening tends to produce asymmetry in the strain-rate distribution within the PDZ, resulting in corner gaps and a more heterogeneous strain distribution than an ideal perfectly plastic material. In cases in which the material fills the die, the PDZ shape is largely governed by the die geometry, i.e. Ψ, independent of material response and friction. In this respect, friction does however help to reduce the free surface gaps that form between a strain hardening material and the die, but to further increase the degree of heterogeneity. The distinct stages that are present in the load versus displacement curves are defined and associated with those in sample deformation, some of which depend on Ψ and others on material properties. Effective strain calculations are compared with various analytical models and the one that directly accounts for the PDZ tends to perform better. To date, most of the cases studied here have not been modeled analytically; however, a stronger connection between analytical modeling and actual ECAE deformation can be made by the guidance of these FE studies on the interactive influence of processing and material variables.

The holograms are deconvoluted against ball reference objects to invert to images, in combination with a Wiener filter to control noise. A resolution of ∼30 nm, smaller than one ball, is obtained even if a large cluster of balls is used as the reference, giving the best resolution yet obtained by x-ray FTH. Methods of dealing with missing data due to a beamstop are discussed. Practical prepared objects which satisfy the FTH condition are suggested, and methods of forming them described.

The model is an attempt to explain the experimentally found nonuniform potential distribution across the thruster channel. This effect is explained by the change of the electron mobility across a magnetic field due to the magnetic field gradient and due to the electron current along the magnetic field driven by the electron temperature gradient.

It has a body-centered-tetragonal structure, and the resistivity along the a and b axes is 35% smaller than along the c axis. Microstructure evolution under electromigration could be responsible for the resistance drop. Synchrotron radiation white beam x-ray microdiffraction was used to study this evolution. Grain-by-grain analysis was obtained from the diffracted Laue patterns about the changes of grain orientation before and after electromigration. We observed that high-resistance grains reorient with respect to the neighboring low-resistance grains, most likely by grain growth of the latter. A different mechanism of grain growth under electromigration from the normal grain growth is proposed and discussed.

Dielectric nonlinearity is also detected along these crystal directions. On the other hand, a much smaller dielectric constant and no detectable dielectric nonlinearity in a field range of 0–200 kV/cm are observed for a film along [001] where c-axis oriented SrRuO3 is used as the bottom electrode.

However, whether the built-in potential benefits photovoltaic properties of the device has not been proven. Using a scanning Kelvin probe microscope, we found that, with increasing Ga content in the CIGS film, the built-in potential on the GB drops sharply in a Ga range of 28%–38%. Comparing the changes in the built-in potential, the device efficiency, and the CIGS band gap, we conclude that the built-in potential on the GB plays a significant role in the device conversion efficiency of NREL's three-stage CIGS device.

Its main characteristic is its broad energy range, from 7 keV to 400 keV. This energy range can be further extended down to 2 keV using the data from the WXM, the X-ray detector of HETE-2. Such a large energy range allows studies of the prompt emission of GRBs. determining with a high precision their spectral parameters. Moreover, because this energy range is at low energies, the sample of GRBs detected by both FREGATE and WXM contains a significant fraction of X-Ray Rich GRBs and X-Ray Flashes. We present here the distributions of the spectral parameters mesured for the time integrated spectra of 50 GRBs. We put emphasis on the distribution of the low energy spectral index α. Because FREGATE and WXM detected all classes of GRBs, we also discuss the connection between GRBs, X-Ray Rich GRBs and X-Ray Flashes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The signal is only seen in < 25 keV and < 10 keV for XRF010213 and XRF020903 respectively. Both events show a double-peak structure in their light curves. The durations of the bursts are > 10 seconds, and this feature is similar to that of the “long” GRBs. According to the time-averaged spectral analysis using both WXM and FREGATE data, the fluence ratio of 2–30 keV to 30–400 keV energy band is 11.4 and 5.6 for XRF010213 and XRF020903 respectively. The Epeak energy in the Band function is < 10 keV. They are likely to belong to the same class as the X-ray flash events detected with GINGA and BeppoSAX. In this paper, we will present the detail study of the prompt emission of XRF010213 and XRF020903, and compare with the characteristics of classic GRBs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The detection of afterglow counterparts and their underlying hosts provides strong evidence that X-ray flashes and gamma-ray bursts originate from similar sources in cosmologically distant galaxies. These observations support findings that the prompt emission characteristics of X-ray flashes are similar to those of traditional gamma-ray bursts. Using wide-band observations from BeppoSAX and BATSE, we present the latest results in our on-going effort to quantify the similarities and differences in prompt emission characteristics. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This unique detector is ideal for observing the highest energy gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts. The highest energy gamma rays supply very strong constraints on the nature of gamma-ray burst sources as well as fundamental physics. Because the highest energy gamma-rays are attenuated by pair production with the extragalactic infrared background light, Milagro’s sensitivity decreases rapidly for bursts with redshift > 0.5. While only 10 % of bursts have been measured to be within z=0.5, these bursts are very well studied at all wavelengths resulting in the most complete understanding of GRB phenomena. Milagro has sufficient sensitivity in units of E2 dN/dE to detect VHE luminosities lower than the observed luminosities at ∼ 100 keV for these nearby bursts. Therefore, the launch of SWIFT and its ability to localize and measure redshifts of many bursts points to great future possibilities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/09/28/ VL - 727 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 192 EP - 197 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - One of the primary goals of HETE-2 is the spectroscopy of the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in a wide energy range. A large overlapping energy range of WXM and FREGATE ensures reliable spectral measurements. Thanks to the enhanced sensitivity in the X-ray range, HETE-2 has detected large numbers of X-ray rich events in addition to the classical GRBs. We have examined the spectral properties of these cosmological bursts localized with HETE-2. They have much variety in their properties, with the spectral peak energy ranging from a few keV to ∼400 keV, and the gamma-ray (30–400 keV) fluence from ∼ 10 -8 to ∼ 10-4 erg cm-2. According to the ratio of fluence in the X-ray range (2–30 keV) to that in the gamma-ray range (30–400 keV), we have classified the localized cosmological bursts into three classes, hard GRBs, X-ray rich GRBs and X-ray flashes. When the nature of the X-ray rich GRBs and X-ray flashes are studied systematically, we find that they have many properties in common with the classical GRBs. In fact, there is no clear separation in properties of these three classes, suggesting that they are a single phenomenon. The relation between the spectral peak energy and the isotropic-equivalent radiated energy (both in the source frame) has been confirmed for the HETE-localized GRBs and extended for XRFs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This higher-energy component is described by a power law of differential photon number index ∼ -1 up to 200 MeV. Its flux decays more slowly and its fluence is more than 3 times the fluence of the lower-energy component. Despite the unique behavior of this higher-energy component, the lower-energy component behaves similarly to most GRBs, presenting a hard-to-soft temporal evolution. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We also provide evidence that the central engine of at least two bursts are entrained with strong magnetic fields, and discuss the implications of this result for our understanding of the GRB phenomenon; (2) We argue that the current gamma-ray burst (GRB) and X-ray flash (XRF) data are consistent with a picture that all GRB-XRF jets are structured and quasi-universal, with a typical Gaussian-like jet structure. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Spectroscopy of BATSE data using the Band function showed a generalized hard-to-soft temporal evolution of the GRB spectra. This analysis was limited to bursts whose spectrum peaks below 1 MeV. The EGRET’s calorimeter TASC (Total Absorption Shower Counter) was sensitive to energies above 1 MeV and beyond 10 MeV for brighter bursts. In order to give better spectral fits over a broader energy range, we have combined BATSE and TASC data for 8 bursts that showed significant detection in more than one time interval in TASC data. We observed that the spectrum of a single peak evolves from hard-to-soft, except for one burst where the high-energy spectral index β stayed constant with time. For bursts with multiple peaks, no evident time evolution was observed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We simulate observed lightcurves and polarization curves for each as seen from a variety of observer vantage points. We find that the homogeneous jet is likely inconsistent with observations and suggest that the future debate on the structure of afterglow jets will be between the other two candidates. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

New three-dimensional calculations are presented of relativistic jet propagation and break out in a massive Wolf-Rayet star. The supernovae that accompany GRBs are novel and need not be standard candles. Because of continuing energy input at late times, afterglows need not uniquely reflect either the opening angle or the energy of GRBs. The structure of the jet is neither a top hat nor a (single) Gaussian, and energy and Lorentz factor do not have the same angular dependence. We speculate on the existence of other forms of high energy transients at high redshift. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Combined with our understanding of the convection-enhanced, neutrino-driven supernova mechanism, the stellar collapse can explain all of the supernova-like explosions observed from normal supernovae, to weak explosions and jet-like hypernovae. Combining this theoretical understanding with observations suggests that the collapsar rate is roughly 1/1000th that of normal supernovae. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Such jets are believed to give rise to outbursts of high-energy emission known as gamma-ray bursts. The propagation and break out of the jets are examined in multi-dimensional numerical simulations using a special relativistic hydrodynamics code. During its propagation, the jet is collimated by the passage through the stellar mantle. As it erupts, the highly relativistic jet core is surrounded by a cocoon of less energetic, but still moderately relativistic ejecta that expands and becomes visible at larger polar angles. We predict a distribution of energy and Lorentz factor with viewing angle in the jet beam and its cocoon. These imply that what is seen may vary greatly with viewing angle. In particular, we predict the existence of a large number of low energy GRBs with mild Lorentz factors that may be related to GRB 980425/SN 1998bw and to the recently recognized cosmological X-ray flashes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The light curve and the spectral energy distribution of the afterglow might show evidence of a supernova (SN) component present ∼ 15 days after the GRB, which could be explained by a nearby Ic SN. However, a SN 1998bw-like template does not yield a completely satisfactory simultaneous fit to the SED and the lightcurve. We discuss some possible reasons for this behaviour. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The WXM has detected more than 407 X-ray busrts from 17 known X-ray burst sources such as GS 1826-238, 4U 1850-087 and 4U 1820-30. In particular, 173 events were localized to GS 1826-238 in 2001, 2002 and 2003. We find that the X-ray bursts from GS 1826-238 were produced periodically with recurrence intervals of 4.20, 3.57 and 3.73 hours in 2001, 2002 and 2003 respectively. These recurrence intervals until 2002 are shorter than that observed with Beppo-SAX/WFC from 1996 to 1998. In contrast, the interval in 2003 is slightly increasing. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

WXM consists of four one-dimensional position-sensitive proportional counters and two sets of one-dimensional coded aperture. Its energy range is 2–25 keV. The detector response matrix (DRM) of WXM is calculated numerically using the ground measurements for each anode wire. It is then calibrated with the observation of the Crab nebula in December 2001 and January 2002. The spectral parameters and the normalization of the spectra are investigated at various incident angles, and compared with the known values in literature. With the current DRM, the derived spectral parameters are mostly consistent with the values in literature, expect for 10–20% uncertainty in normalization for individual anode wires, and at large incidence angles. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

All BAT data products will be available to the astronomical community along with a complete set of analysis tools. Gamma-ray burst data products include rapid discovery messages delivered immediately via the GRB Coordinates Network, and event-by-event data from which light curves and spectra of the burst are generated. During nominal operations, the instrument provides accumulated survey histograms with 5-minute time sampling and appropriate energy resolution. These survey accumulations are analyzed in a pipeline to detect new sources and derive light curves of known sources. The 5-minute surveys will also be combined to produce the BAT all sky hard X-ray survey. In addition, the instrument accumulates high time resolution light curves of the brightest BAT sources in multiple energy bands, which are merged into a source light curve database on the ground. The BAT science data products and analysis tools will be described in this paper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/09/28/ VL - 727 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 667 EP - 670 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift has two main types of “rate” triggers: short and long. Short trigger time scales range from 4ms to 64ms, while long triggers are 64ms to ≈ 16 seconds. While both short and long trigger have criteria with one background sample (traditional “one-sided” triggers), the long triggers can also have criteria with two background samples (“bracketed” triggers) which remove trends in the background. Both long and short triggers can select energy ranges of 15–25, 15–50, 25–100 and 50–350 KeV. There are more than 180 short triggering criteria and approximately 500 long triggering criteria used to detect gamma ray bursts. To fully utilize these criteria, the thresholds must be set correctly. The optimum thresholds are determined by a tradeoff between avoiding false triggers and capturing as many bursts as possible. We use realistic simulated orbital variations, which are the prime cause of false triggers. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In addition to providing this imaging information, BAT will perform a 15 keV – 150 keV all-sky hard x-ray survey based on the serendipitous pointings resulting from the study of gamma-ray bursts, and will also monitor the sky for transient hard x-ray sources. For BAT to provide spectral and photometric information for the gamma-ray bursts, the transient sources and the all-sky survey, the BAT instrument response must be determined to an increasingly greater accuracy. This paper describes the spectral models and the ground calibration experiments used to determine the BAT response to an accuracy suitable for gamma-ray burst studies. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/09/28/ VL - 727 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 684 EP - 687 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) mission is a followup to the successful EGRET experiment onboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). It will provide a high-sensitivity survey of the sky in high-energy γ-rays, and will perform detailed observations of persistent and transient sources. There are two experiments onboard the GLAST — the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM). The primary mission of the GBM instrument is to support the LAT in observing γ-ray bursts (GRBs) by providing low-energy measurements with high time resolution and rapid burst locations over a large field-of-view (>= 8 sr). The GBM will complement the LAT measurements by observing GRBs in the energy range 10 keV to 30 MeV, the region of the spectral turnover in most GRBs. An important objective of the GBM is to compute the locations of GRB sources on-board the spacecraft and quickly communicate them to the LAT and to the ground to allow rapid followup observations. This information may be used to re-point the LAT towards particularly interesting burst sources that occurred outside its field-of-view. The GBM consists of 14 uncollimated scintillation detectors coupled to phototubes to measure γ-ray energies and time profiles. Two types of detectors are used to obtain spectral information over a wide energy range: 12 NaI(Tl) detectors (10 keV to 1 MeV), and 2 BGO detectors (150 keV to 30 MeV). The detectors are distributed around the GLAST spacecraft to provide a large, unobstructed field of view. The 12 NaI(Tl) detectors are mounted with different orientations for use in locating GRB sources. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We discuss a new imaging system under development at Los Alamos National Laboratory that will provide simultaneous multicolor photometry of the rapidly evolving prompt optical emission in the first minutes after a burst trigger. This next generation system employs state-of-the-art photon-counting imaging technology at the focal plane of a rapidly slewing telescope. The imaging sensor is composed of an S-20 photocathode, stacked microchannel plates, and crossed delay line readout electronics that together are capable of measuring the time of arrival and positions for individual optical photons with 200 picosecond time resolution. The imager is coupled with electronically tunable liquid-crystal filters to provide essentially simultaneous linear polarization and multicolor photometric measurements of the prompt optical emission from a gamma ray bursts. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The telescope began routine operations from its Steward Observatory site atop Kitt Peak in April 2000. We summarize the current capabilities of the system and present some recent scientific results. A progress report is given on the upgrade of the system to allow for simultaneous near-infrared (NIR) and optical imaging. This upgrade will be completed to coincide with the launch of the Swift GRB explorer mission in mid-2004. Swift will have the capability of localizing very high redshift GRBs but absorption by the Ly-α forest prohibits optical detection of z > 5 bursts. NIR observations can detect GRBs out to z ∼ 10. Although Swift is a multi-wavelength observatory capable of observing GRBs from the hard x-rays to the optical it has no NIR capability. The upgraded Super-LOTIS telescope will fill this NIR need. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/09/28/ VL - 727 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 728 EP - 732 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - While it has been known for centuries that the optical sky is variable, monitoring the sky for optical transients with durations as short as a minute is an area of astronomical research that remains largely unexplored. Prompt follow-up observations of Gamma Ray Bursts have shown that bright, explosive, optical transients exist. However, there are many reasons to suspect the existence of explosive optical transients that cannot be located through sky monitoring by high-energy satellites. The RAPTOR sky monitoring system is an autonomous system of telescope arrays at Los Alamos National Laboratory that identifies fast optical transients as short as a minute and makes follow-up observations in real time. The core of the RAPTOR system is composed of two arrays of telescopes, separated by 38 kilometers, that stereoscopically monitor a field of about 1300 square degrees for transients down to about 12.5th magnitude in 30 seconds. Both arrays are coupled to real-time data analysis pipelines that are designed to identify transients on timescales of seconds. Each telescope array also contains a more sensitive higher resolution “fovea” telescope, capable of both measuring the light curve at a faster cadence and providing color information. In a manner analogous to human vision, each array is mounted on a rapidly slewing mount so that the “fovea” of the array can be rapidly directed for real-time follow-up observations of any interesting transient identified by the wide-field system. We discuss the first results from RAPTOR and show that stereoscopic imaging and the absence of measurable parallax is a powerful tool for distinguishing real celestial transients in the “forest” of false positives. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Chemical modification of glycoproteins has been employed to improve their in vivo efficacy or to label them for detection. Methods for the controlled derivatization of glycoproteins are presently limited by the repertoire of natural amino acid side chain and carbohydrate functionalities. Here, we use metabolic oligosaccharide engineering to introduce a bioorthogonal functional group, the azide, into cellular and recombinant glycoproteins for subsequent chemical elaboration via Staudinger ligation. As most therapeutic glycoproteins are sialylated and require this saccharide for optimal pharmacokinetics, we targeted sialic acid as a host for azides using N-azidoacetylmannosamine (ManNAz) as a biosynthetic precursor. Metabolic conversion of ManNAz to N-azidoacetylsialic acid (SiaNAz) within membrane-bound and secreted glycoproteins was quantified in a variety of cell types. SiaNAz was found to comprise between 4% and 41% of total sialosides, depending on the system. Metabolic labeling of recombinant interferon-β and GlyCAM-Ig was achieved, demonstrating the utility of the method for functionalizing N-linked and O-linked glycoproteins of therapeutic interest. More generally, the generation of recombinant glycoproteins containing chemical handles within their glycans provides a means for studying their behavior and for improving their in vivo efficacy.

Methane was formed from FeO, CaCO3-calcite, and water at pressures between 5 and 11 GPa and temperatures ranging from 500°C to 1,500°C. The results are shown to be consistent with multiphase thermodynamic calculations based on the statistical mechanics of soft particle mixtures. The study demonstrates the existence of abiogenic pathways for the formation of hydrocarbons in the Earth's interior and suggests that the hydrocarbon budget of the bulk Earth may be larger than conventionally assumed.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/09/28/ VL - 101 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 14150 EP - 14155 SN - 00278424 AB - Comparative genomics of closely related bacterial isolates is a powerful method for uncovering virulence and other important genome elements. We determined draft sequences (8-fold coverage) of the genomes of strains JD1 and N40 of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease, and we compared the predicted genes from the two genomes with those from the previously sequenced B31 genome. The three genomes are closely related and are evolutionarily approximately equidistant ( ≈ 0.5% pairwise nucleotide differences on the main chromosome). We used a Poisson model of nucleotide substitution to screen for genes with elevated levels of nucleotide polymorphisms. The three-way genome comparison allowed distinction between polymorphisms introduced by mutations and those introduced by recombination using the method of phylogenetic partitioning. Tests for recombination suggested that patches of high-density nucleotide polymorphisms on the chromosome and plasmids arise by DNA exchange. The role of recombination as the main mechanism driving B. burgdorferi diversification was confirmed by multilocus sequence typing of 18 clinical isolates at 18 polymorphic loci. A strong linkage between the multilocus sequence genotypes and the major alleles of outer-surface protein C (ospC) suggested that balancing selection at ospC is a dominant force maintaining B. burgdorferi diversity in local populations. We conclude that B. burgdorferi undergoes genome-wide genetic exchange, including plasmid transfers, and previous reports of its clonality are artifacts from the use of geographically and ecological isolated samples. Frequent recombination implies a potential for rapid adaptive evolution and a possible polygenic basis of B. burgdorferi pathogenicity.

To understand how the Elf3 gene is regulated at the transcriptional level, we probed its 5′-flanking region, and we report here the identification of both proximal and distal regions that regulate murine Elf3 promoter activity. In addition to mapping the transcription start site of the Elf3 gene, the work described in this study identifies four cis-regulatory elements in the proximal promoter region of the gene. These include a cis-regulatory element previously designated ESE, a κB site, a POU motif, and a CCAAT box. In addition, we demonstrate that a novel 94 bp region 2 kb upstream of the transcription start site significantly elevates Elf3 promoter activity in F9-differentiated cells, but not in the parental F9 embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells. This region appears to be largely responsible for the increase in Elf3 promoter activity that accompanies the differentiation of embryonal carcinoma cells.

Efficient mid-infrared light sources and lasers are important enablers for a variety of technologies, including gas analysis, remote sensing, and atmospheric monitoring. The Quantum Dots (QDs) discussed in this communication were synthesized via chemical routes according to two distinct variations of literature methods. Both a low-6 and a high-temperature route were utilized to produce QDs emitting over the entire energy range reported herein. After synthesis, QDs were collected by precipitating by addition of methanol, followed by centrifugation. No additional size-selection techniques were employed for either route.

Measurements using silicone oil as the pressure-transmitting medium show compression of the zeolite followed by a loss of long-range ordering at 2.2 GPa. The experimentally determined bulk modulus, 38(2) GPa, is, within experimental error, identical to that of quartz. When using a methanol:ethanol:water mixture (16:3:1) as the pressure-transmitting medium, two distinct compressibility regions are observed with a dramatic change in the compression mechanism at 4 GPa. Rietveld refinement analysis of the powder patterns provides a detailed description ot the underlying chemistry, with sequential pore filling the main response up to 4 GPa and framework distortions at higher pressures.

We present a theoretical investigation of the dynamics and relaxation of photoexcited states in conjugated polyfluorenes, which are promising materials for display applications. Our analysis shows that both fast (∼20 fs) and slow (∼ 1 ps) nuclear motions couple to the electronic degrees of freedom during the excited-state dynamics. Delocalized excitations dominate the absorption, whereas emission comes from localized (self-trapped) excitons. This localization is attributed to an inherent nonlinear coupling among vibronic degrees of freedom which leads to lattice and torsional distortions and results in specific signatures in spectroscopic observables. Computed vertical absorption and fluorescence frequencies as well as photoluminescence band shapes show good agreement with experiment. Finally, we demonstrate that dimerization such as spiro-linking does not affect the emission properties of molecules because the excitation becomes confined on a single chain of the composite molecule.

The magnetic hyperfine fields derived from the time spectra of the synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy show that the low-pressure magnetic phase displays two magnetic hyperfine field sites and that a magnetic collapse occurs at 21 GPa. The magnetic to non-magnetic transition significantly affects the elastic, thermodynamic, and vibrational properties of Fe3S. The magnetic collapse of Fe3S may also affect the phase relations in the iron–sulfur system, changing the solubility of sulfur in iron under higher pressures. Determination of the physical properties of the non-magnetic Fe3S phase is important for the interpretation of the amount and properties of sulfur present in the planetary cores. Sound velocities of Fe3S obtained from the measured partial phonon density of states (PDOS) for 57Fe incorporated in the alloy show that Fe3S has higher compressional and shear wave velocity than those of hcp-Fe and hcp-Fe0.92Ni0.08 alloy under high pressures, making sulfur a potential light element in the Earth''s core based on geophysical arguments. The VP and VS of the non-magnetic Fe3S follow a Birch''s law trend whereas the slopes decrease in the magnetic phase, indicating that the decrease of the magnetic moment significantly affects the sound velocities. If the Martian core is in the solid state containing 14.2 wt.% sulfur, it is likely that the non-magnetic Fe3S phase is a dominant component and that our measured sound velocities of Fe3S can be used to construct the corresponding velocity profile of the Martian core. It is also conceivable that Fe3P and Fe3C undergo similar magnetic phase transitions under high pressures.

These fields are thousands of times greater than those achievable in conventional radio-frequency accelerators, spurring interest in laser accelerators as compact next-generation sources of energetic electrons and radiation. To date, however, acceleration distances have been severely limited by the lack of a controllable method for extending the propagation distance of the focused laser pulse. The ensuing short acceleration distance results in low-energy beams with 100 per cent electron energy spread, which limits potential applications. Here we demonstrate a laser accelerator that produces electron beams with an energy spread of a few per cent, low emittance and increased energy (more than 109 electrons above 80?MeV). Our technique involves the use of a preformed plasma density channel to guide a relativistically intense laser, resulting in a longer propagation distance. The results open the way for compact and tunable high-brightness sources of electrons and radiation.

A T. brucei FPPS (390 amino acids) has been expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant protein has been crystallized in the absence and presence of the bisphosphonate inhibitor minodronate. Diffraction data were collected at 100 K using synchrotron radiation from both crystal types. Crystals obtained in the absence of minodronate belong to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 61.43, b = 118.12, c = 120.04 Å, while crystals grown in the presence of minodronate belong to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 131.98, b = 118.10, c = 63.25 Å, β = 112.48°. An initial model of the drug-free protein has been built using a homology model with the molecular-replacement method and refined to 3.3 Å resolution. It shows mostly helical structure and resembles the structure of avian farnesyl diphosphate synthase, but with the addition of two loop regions.

JO - American Antiquity JF - American Antiquity Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 69 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 741 EP - 750 SN - 00027316 AB - Plasma oxidation was used to obtain radiocarbon dates on six different materials from a naturally mummified baby bundle from the Lower Pecos River region of southwest Texas. This bundle was selected because it was thought to represent a single event and would illustrate the accuracy and precision of the plasma oxidation method. Five of the materials were clearly components of the original bundle with 13 dates combined to yield a weighted average of 2135 ± 11 B.P. Six dates from a wooden stick of Desert Ash averaged 939 ± 14 B.P., indicating that this artifact was not part of the original burial. Plasma oxidation is shown to be a virtually nondestructive alternative to combustion. Because only sub-milligram amounts of material are removed from an artifact over its exposed surface, no visible change in fragile materials has been observed, even under magnification. The method is best applied when natural organic contamination is unlikely and serious consideration of this issue is needed in all cases. If organic contamination is present, it will have to be removed before plasma oxidation to obtain accurate radiocarbon dates.

Este bulto se eligió porque representa un caso único e ilustra la exactitud y precisión del método de oxidación de plasma. Cinco tipos de materiales que eran claramente componentes del bulto dieron 13 fechas que se combinaron para obtener un promedio con un valor asignado de 2135 ± 11 A.P., seis muestras de un palillo de madera proveniente de Desert Ash promediaron 939 ± 14 A.P., mostrando que este artefacto no era parte del entierro original. La oxidación de plasma promete ser un método no destructivo para obtener fechas de radiocarbono de artefactos orgánicos perecederos, ya que solamente se requiere remover cantidades menores a un miligramo de la superficie expuesta de un artefacto, además de que ningún cambio visible se observó en los materiales frágiles después de la oxidación de plasma, aún bajo ampliación. El método se aplica mejor cuando no existe la posibilidad de contaminación orgánica, este factor necesita ser seriamente considerado en todos los casos, ya que si hay contaminación orgánica ésta tendría que ser removida antes de la oxidación de plasma para obtener fechas de radiocarbono exactas.

At each temperature, separate functions are used to represent the bubble- and dew-point boundary curves that: originate at the saturation vapor pressure of water (pH2Osat) at XCO2 = 0; diverge with increasing pressure up to ∼P(XmaxCO2) where δP/δXCO2 = ∞ along the dew-point curve; then converge with increasing pressure above P(XmaxCO2). At temperatures below 265 °C and pressures > P(XmaxCO2), the compositions of coexisting liquid and vapor [XL(V)CO2 and XV(L)CO2] do not converge completely with increasing pressure due to the absence of critical behavior. Thus, relatively simple functions suffice to accurately represent VLE at those temperatures. In contrast, at T > 265 °C, XL(V)CO2 and XV(L)CO2 converge rapidly as P approaches Pc (the critical pressure in the CO2-H2O system at a given temperature between 265 and 374 °C and P ≤ 215 MPa). For those temperatures, therefore, more complex VLE formulae are required to achieve close representation of phase relations. For dew-point equations, this includes adding an exponential "correction term" to ensure that δP/δXCO2 = 0 at the critical points indicated by corresponding bubble-point functions. Stable liquid-vapor coexistence in mixed-volatile systems requires fIL = f IV(isofugacity conditions) for all "i" (volatile components) in the two fluid phases. Thus, the equations presented...

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10//10/1/2004 VL - 76 IS - 19 M3 - Abstract SP - 5713 EP - 5720 SN - 00032700 AB - Antibody arrays hold considerable potential in a variety of applications including proteomics research, drug discovery, and diagnostics. Many of the schemes used to fabricate the arrays fail to immobilize the antibodies at a uniform density or in a single orientation; consequently, the immobilized antibodies recognize their antigens with variable efficiency. This paper describes a strategy to immobilize antibodies in a single orientation, with a controlled density, using the covalent interaction between cutinase and its suicide substrate. Protein fusions between cutinase and five antibodies of three different types (scFv, VHH, and FN3) were prepared and immobilized upon self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) presenting a phosphonate capture ligand. The immobilized antibodies exhibit high affinity and selectivity for their target antigens, as monitored by surface plasmon resonance and fluorescence scanning. Furthermore, by changing the density of capture ligand on the SAM the density of the immobilized antibody could be controlled. The monolayers, which also present a tri(ethylene glycol) group, are inert to non- specific adsorption of proteins and allow the detection of a specific antigen in a complex mixture. The demonstration of cutinase-directed antibody immobilization with insert SAMs provides a straightforward and robust method for preparing antibody chips.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10//10/1/2004 VL - 76 IS - 19 M3 - Abstract SP - 5756 EP - 5761 SN - 00032700 AB - In typical Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT- ICR) mass spectra, temporally dispersed excitation and the delay between excitation and detection result in continuous variation of signal phase with frequency in the detected time-domain ion signal. The complex frequency- domain spectrum of such a signal is a linear combination of absorption- and dispersion-mode spectral components with corresponding asymmetric peaks. For this reason, magnitude-mode spectral display is usually employed to yield a phase-independent uniform and symmetrical peak shape at the expense of spectral resolution. In this work, we implement simultaneous excitation and detection to enable Fourier deconvolution to recover absorption-mode spectra for both low- and high-field FT-ICR instruments. These spectra yield resolving power improvement factors approaching the maximum theoretical limit of 2.0, as well as reduction in frequency assignment errors relative to conventional magnitude-mode spectra. The Fourier deconvolution procedure has the additional benefit of correcting for spectral variation resulting from nonuniform power distribution over the excitation bandwidth and the potential benefit of providing useful diagnostic information for interpretation of experimental performance.

EMLC has the unique ability to manipulate analyte retention and enhance separation efficiencies through changes in the potential applied to a conductive stationary phase. Operation of high-performance liquid chromatography systems at elevated column temperatures also provides pathways to improve chromatographic performance by enhancing analyte diffusivity and facilitating the use of higher mobile-phase flow rates than conventionally attainable. The results show that performing EMLC separations at elevated temperatures (e.g., 100 °C) reduces the analysis time of a mixture of aromatic sulfonates in a mixed mobile phase by more than a factor of 20. Moreover, use of higher operating temperatures enables the separation of this mixture with an entirely aqueous mobile phase in less than 2 min.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 70 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 5875 EP - 5881 SN - 00992240 AB - The phylum Verrucomicrobia is increasingly recognized as an environmentally significant group of bacteria, particularly in soil habitats. At least six subdivisions of the Verrucomicrobia are resolved by comparative analysis of 16S rRNA genes, mostly obtained directly from environmental samples. To date, only two of these subdivisions (1 and 4) have characterized pure-culture representatives. We have isolated and characterized the first known pure-culture representative of subdivision 2. Strain Ellin428 is an aerobic heterotrophic bacterium that is able to grow with many of the saccharide components of plant biomass but does not grow with amino acids or organic acids other than pyruvate. Cells are yellow, rod-shaped, nonmotile, and gram-stain negative, and they contain peptidoglycan with direct cross-linkages of the A1γ/meso-Dpm type. The isolate grows well at 25°C on a variety of standard biological media, including some used in the routine cultivation of bacteria from soil. The pH range for growth is 4.0 to 7.0. Low levels of menaquinones MK-10 and MK-11 were detected. The major cellular fatty acids are C14:0, a-C15:0, C16:1ω7c, and/or 2OH i-C15:0, and C16:0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA is 61 mol%. We propose a new genus and species, Chthoniobacter flavus gen. nov., sp. nov., with isolate Ellin428 as the type strain, and a new class for the subdivision to which it belongs, Spartobacteria classis nov. Environmental sequences indicate that the class Spartobacteria is largely represented by globally distributed, abundant, and active soil bacteria.

In this study, surrogate geological media contained in a porous receptacle were incubated in a well within the saturated zone of a pristine region of an aquifer to capture populations from the extant communities. After an 8-week incubation, the media were recovered, and the microbial community that developed on each medium was compared to the community recovered from groundwater and native sediments from the same region of the aquifer, using 16S DNA coding for rRNA (rDNA)-based terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP). The ground-water and sediment communities were highly distinct from one another, and the communities that developed on the various media were more similar to groundwater communities than to sediment communities. 16S rDNA clone libraries of communities that developed on particles of a specular hematite medium incubated in the same well as the media used for T-RFLP analysis were compared with those obtained from an acidic, uranium-contaminated region of the same aquifer. The hematite-associated community formed in the pristine area was highly diverse at the species level, with 25 distinct phylotypes identified, the majority of which (73%) were affiliated with the β-Proteobacteria. Similarly, the hematite-associated community formed in the contaminated area was populated in large part by β-Proteobacteria (62%); however, only 13 distinct phylotypes were apparent. The three numerically dominant clones from the hematite-associated community from the contaminated site were affiliated with metal- and radionuclide-tolerant or acidophilic taxa, consistent with the environmental conditions. Only two populations were common to both sites.

Strains AJ and TD also use ethene and ethylene oxide as growth substrates. Strain AJ contained a linear megaplasmid (approximately 260 kb) when grown on VC or ethene, but it contained no circular plasmids. While strain AJ was growing on ethylene oxide, it was observed to contain a 100-kb linear plasmid, and its ability to use VC as a substrate was retained. The linear plasmids in strain AJ were cured, and the ability of strain AJ to consume VC, ethene, and ethylene oxide was lost following growth on a rich substrate (Luria-Bertani broth) through at least three transfers. Strain TD contained three linear plasmids, ranging in size from approximately 90 kb to 320 kb, when growing on VC or ethene. As with strain A J, the linear plasmids in strain TD were cured following growth on Luria-Bertani broth and its ability to consume VC and ethene was lost. Further analysis of these linear plasmids may help reveal the pathway for VC biodegradation in strains AJ and TD and explain why this process occurs at many but not all sites where groundwater is contaminated with chloroethenes. Metabolism of VC and ethene by strains AJ and TD is initiated by an alkene monooxygenase. Their yields during growth on VC (0.15 to 0.20 mg of total suspended solids per mg of VC) are similar to the yields reported for other isolates (i.e., Mycobacterium sp., Nocardioides sp., and Pseudomonas sp.).

Prior to 1995, all thermal neutron radiography at Los Alamos was done on a beam port attached to the Omega West reactor, a small 8 MW research reactor used primarily for radioisotope production and prompt and delayed neutron activation analysis. After the closure of this facility, two largely independent radiography development efforts were begun at LANSCE using moderated cold and thermal neutrons from the Target-1 source and high-energy neutrons from the Target-4 source. Investigations with cold and thermal neutrons employed a neutron converter and film, a scintillation screen and CCD camera system, and a new high-resolution amorphous silicon (a-Si) flat-panel detector system. Recent work with high-energy neutrons (En>1 MeV) has involved storage-phosphor image plates. Some comparison high-energy images were obtained with both image plates and the a-Si panel and showed equivalent image quality for approximately equal exposure times.

Electrical- and thermal-load-following CHP models are certainly among such candidates. This paper is essentially an extension of a previous study on a grid-independent, electrical-load-following CHP system for a hypothetical office building. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the thermodynamic performance of a thermal-load- following CHP system for the same building and to compare the results with those of the previous study. Included in the scope of the current work are (1) a parametric analysis addressing the influence of the subsystem efficiencies on the total primary energy consumption, (2) an evaluation of first-law efficiencies at two levels: CHP system and overall system, (3) an estimation of net monthly electricity import/export, and (4) an assessment of how electric utility efficiency affects the overall system energy consumption. The parametric analysis demonstrated the positive and significant responsiveness of the total primary energy consumption to improvements in the efficiencies of the on-site power generation and building electrical systems for the thermal- load-following model. A similar finding was also echoed by the previous work on the electrical-load-following CHP. The net monthly export of electricity (for the thermal-following- model) occurred during the peak cooling months, when the building thermal loads are the highest. While an increase in the efficiencies of the on-site power generation and electrical equipment reduced the net monthly import of electricity, the effects of such a measure with the absorption cooling system were the opposite. However, the issue of an optimum balance between export and import of electricity can only be addressed through an economic assessment, which is not within the scope of this work. The scenarios adopting more efficient absorption cooling showed a stronger sensitivity to the electrical utility efficiency. The thermal-load-following CHP model was found to be superior to the other previously studied model from the first-law thermodynamic standpoint. The monthly average CHP efficiency of this model was higher and comparatively much less sensitive to seasonal variations. The thermal-load-following model offered a higher overall system efficiency (fuel utilization) as well.

This heavily instrumented field study was conducted in 17 homes across the United States over a period of 18 months. This study was unique in that the heat pump water heaters could be operated as electric resistance water heaters or as designed, heat pump water heaters with resistance backup. Field measurements of hot water usage, energy consumption, temperatures, and condensate generation provided ample data to assess the performance and efficiency of the heat pump water heater in a range of settings. The paper presents comparative results on energy efficiency, dehumidification performance, electric demand, and load factor impacts important to utilities as well as measured customer impacts in a switchover from electric resistance water heaters to heat pump water heaters.

Improvements have been made in the energy efficiency of water heating equipment, but few gains have occurred in the distribution system's energy performance. Energy and water waste associated with distribution system performance can be a significant fraction of the total expenditure of delivering and generating hot water. Improving hot water delivery systems will reduce the energy usage and system performance. Results from numerically simulating four different hot water distribution systems in three different system locations in a conventional house reveal that system configuration and location as well as pipe material and insulation noticeably impact the overall performance of the distribution system. Model results based on two usage profiles reveal that: • In most CPVC distribution systems, significantly more energy is wasted from previously heated water remaining in the pipe than heat loss through the pipe walls while hot water is flowing. Changing the assumed hot water use patterns can dramatically change the performance of an individual system and its performance compared to copper systems. • Demand recirculation systems reduce the waiting time for hot water as well as the energy and water waste, while continuous recirculation systems also reduce waiting and water consumption but increase energy consumption about 600%. • Parallel pipe systems made of PEX reduce the waiting as well as energy and water waste compared with conventional branch and trunk systems. • Adding pipe insulation does not have a significant impact on heated water energy waste or piping heat loss for hot water delivery initiated from a "cold start" but can be effective if hot water uses are clustered in a short time frame. • Distribution systems located in the attic (buried in attic insulation) should not be insulated because it looses additional energy when standard pipe insulation is added. • Copper pipes have ∼10 times more heat loss when they are located below the floor slab in the soil (clay) for "cold start" compared with a clustered use hot water delivery.

Time-averaged mean velocity and turbulence (local root mean square velocity fluctuation) profiles were measured at the exit plane of two commonly used 8 in. × 4 in. (203 mm × 102 mm) sidewall registers. These data can then be used as an input boundary condition in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to predict the velocity and temperature distribution in an enclosure supplied by the registers. Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) was used to measure the axial and vertical components of the velocity vector at various locations across the face of the registers. Measurements at distances removed from the exit plane of the registers, but still within the "near field," show how the complex profile due to the vanes transitions to a jet, and this can provide a partial validation measurement for the CFD results. Measurements were made at two different flow rates, and the evaluation of the results suggests that the velocity field at the exit of both of these registers scales with the flow rate through them. This means that, in the mode of operation in which the supply fan (of an HVAC system) has a "high" and "low" setting, similar velocity scaling would result for these types of registers.

It focuses on measuring the air leakage flows to outside at operating conditions that are required for energy loss calculations for duct systems, and infiltration impacts. The Delta-Q test builds on the standard envelope tightness measurement technique of a blower door by repeating the tests with the system air handler off and on. This study uses detailed laboratory measurements to validate the Delta-Q test procedure and calculations. The laboratory measurements used a purpose-built test chamber coupled to a duct system typical of forced-air systems in U.S. homes. Special duct leaks with controlled and monitored airflow were designed and installed in the duct system. This test system enabled us to systematically vary the duct and envelope leakage and to accurately measure the duct leakage flows for comparison to Delta-Q test results. The laboratory testing has also led to enhancements to the Delta-Q calculations that increase the accuracy of the leakage measurement.

Prior energy benchmarking in cleanrooms has identified a wide range of operating efficiencies in HVAC systems. This paper updates previous benchmarking efforts and provides ideas for use of benchmark data to improve energy efficiency. The benchmark data highlight the fact that some systems are significantly more energy efficient than others in achieving the same cleanliness. These high-performing systems can help to identify design and operation strategies for new and existing facilities. The metrics developed through Labs 21 and prior work can be used to benchmark widely disparate systems. Cleanroom owners can use energy benchmarks to establish efficiency requirements for new design projects. For example, air change rates, as measured, vary considerably. The benchmark results suggest that lower airflow using significantly less energy can achieve the desired cleanliness levels. The design concepts that produce highly energy efficient systems are examined in this paper. Better integration of observed best practice concepts into cleanroom design should be possible based upon benchmark guidance.

The adsorption behavior follows the Toth isotherm model, suggesting either a strongly heterogeneous surface or, rather, that when insulin molecules adsorb they contact the surface along different areas of the molecule. The lumped pore diffusion (POR) model of chromatography accounts well for the band profiles. The internal mass transfer resistances are higher than expected, which suggests that intraparticle diffusion is slower. Furthermore, the pore diffusion coefficient increases with decreasing sample size. That surface diffusion accounts for the mass transfer kinetics inside particles explains these results. Assuming that the gradient of the surface concentration is the driving force of surface diffusion, it is possible to account very well for the band profiles of samples of widely different sizes, using a single value of the surface diffusivity.

The complexity of aerosol-related processes requires that information gathered to improve our understanding of climate change must originate from multiple sources, and that effective strategies for data integration need to be established. While a vast array of observed and modeled data are becoming available, the aerosol research community currently lacks the necessary tools and infrastructure to reap maximum scientific benefit from these data. Spatial and temporal sampling differences among a diverse set of sensors, nonuniform data qualities, aerosol mesoscale variabilities, and difficulties in separating cloud effects are some of the challenges that need to be addressed. Maximizing the long-term benefit from these data also requires maintaining consistently well-understood accuracies as measurement approaches evolve and improve. Achieving a comprehensive understanding of how aerosol physical, chemical, and radiative processes impact the earth system can be achieved only through a multidisciplinary, inter-agency, and international initiative capable of dealing with these issues. A systematic approach, capitalizing on modern measurement and modeling techniques, geospatial statistics methodologies, and high-performance information technologies, can provide the necessary machinery to support this objective. We outline a framework for integrating and interpreting observations and models, and establishing an accurate, consistent, and cohesive long-term record, following a strategy whereby information and tools of progressively greater sophistication are incorporated as problems of increasing complexity are tackled. This concept is named the Progressive Aerosol Retrieval and Assimilation Global Observing Network (PARAGON). To encompass the breadth of the effort required, we present a set of recommendations dealing with data interoperability; measurement and model integration; multisensor synergy; data summarization and mining; model evaluation; calibration and validation; augmentation of surface and in situ measurements; advances in passive and active remote sensing; and design of satellite missions. Without an initiative of this nature, the scientific and policy communities will continue to struggle with understanding the quantitative impact of complex aerosol processes on regional and global climate change and air quality.

To derive aerosol climate forcing, aerosol optical and microphysical properties and their spatial and temporal distributions, and aerosol interactions with clouds, need to be understood. Such data are also required in conjunction with size-resolved chemical composition in order to evaluate chemical transport models and to distinguish natural and anthropogenic forcing. Other basic parameters needed for modeling the radiative influences of aerosols are surface reflectivity and three-dimensional cloud fields. This large suite of parameters mandates an integrated observing and modeling system of commensurate scope. The Progressive Aerosol Retrieval and Assimilation Global Observing Network (PARAGON) concept, designed to meet this requirement, is motivated by the need to understand climate system sensitivity to changes in atmospheric constituents, to reduce climate model uncertainties, and to analyze diverse collections of data pertaining to aerosols. This paper highlights several challenges resulting from the complexity of the problem. Approaches for dealing with them are offered in the set of companion papers.

The strengths and limitations of existing satellite, surface, and aircraft remote sensing systems are described, along with those of direct sampling networks and ship-based stations. It is evident that an enormous number of aerosol-related observations have been made, on a wide range of spatial and temporal sampling scales, and that many of the key gaps in this collection of data could be filled by technologies that either exist or are expected to be available in the near future. Emphasis must be given to combining remote sensing and in situ active and passive observations and integrating them with aerosol chemical transport models, in order to create a more complete environmental picture, having sufficient detail to address current climate forcing questions. The Progressive Aerosol Retrieval and Assimilation Global Observing Network (PARAGON) initiative would provide an organizational framework to meet this goal.

JO - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society JF - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 85 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1523 EP - 1533 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00030007 AB - Given the breadth and complexity of available data, constructing a measurement-based description of global tropospheric aerosols that will effectively confront and constrain global three-dimensional models is a daunting task. Because data are obtained from multiple sources and acquired with nonuniform spatial and temporal sampling, scales, and coverage, protocols need to be established that will organize this vast body of knowledge. Currently, there is no capability to assemble the existing aerosol data into a unified, interoperable whole. Technology advancements now being pursued in high-performance distributed computing initiatives can accomplish this objective. Once the data are organized, there are many approaches that can be brought to bear upon the problem of integrating data from different sources. These include data-driven approaches, such as geospatial statistics formulations, and model-driven approaches, such as assimilation or chemical transport modeling. Establishing a data interoperability framework will stimulate algorithm development and model validation and will facilitate the exploration of synergies between different data types. Data summarization and mining techniques can be used to make statistical inferences about climate system relationships and interpret patterns of aerosol-induced change. Generating descriptions of complex, nonlinear relationships among multiple parameters is critical to climate model improvement and validation. Finally, determining the role of aerosols in past and future climate change ultimately requires the use of fully coupled climate and chemistry models, and the evaluation of these models is required in order to trust their results. The set of recommendations presented here address one component of the Progressive Aerosol Retrieval and Assimilation Global Observing Network (PARAGON) initiative. Implementing them will produce the most accurate four-dimensional representation of global aerosols, which can then be used for testing, constraining, and validating models. These activities are critical components of a sustained program to quantify aerosol effects on global climate.

T1 - Using the PARAGON Framework to Establish an Accurate, Consistent, and Cohesive Long-Term Aerosol Record. JO - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society JF - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 85 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1535 EP - 1548 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00030007 AB - A comprehensive and cohesive aerosol measurement record with consistent, well-understood uncertainties is a prerequisite to understanding aerosol impacts on long-term climate and environmental variability. Objectives to attaining such an understanding include improving upon the current state-of-the-art sensor calibration and developing systematic validation methods for remotely sensed microphysical properties. While advances in active and passive remote sensors will lead to needed improvements in retrieval accuracies and capabilities, ongoing validation is essential so that the changing sensor characteristics do not mask atmospheric trends. Surface-based radiometer, chemical, and lidar networks have critical roles within an integrated observing system, yet they currently undersample key geographic regions, have limitations in certain measurement capabilities, and lack stable funding. In situ aircraft observations of size-resolved aerosol chemical composition are necessary to provide important linkages between active and passive remote sensing. A planned, systematic approach toward a global aerosol observing network, involving multiple sponsoring agencies and surface-based, suborbital, and spaceborne sensors, is required to prioritize trade-offs regarding capabilities and costs. This strategy is a key ingredient of the Progressive Aerosol Retrieval and Assimilation Global Observing Network (PARAGON) framework. A set of recommendations is presented.

To further explore its necessity, transgenic mice expressing SV40 or HPV16 oncogenes, which elicit carcinomas in pancreas and skin, respectively, were rendered telomerase-deficient. Absence of telomerase had minimal impact on tumorigenesis, even in terc-/- generations (G5–7) exhibiting shortened telomeres and phenotypic abnormalities in multiple organs. Analyses of chromosomal aberrations were not indicative of telomere dysfunction or increased genomic instability in tumors. Quantitative image analysis of telomere repeat intensities comparing biopsies of skin hyperplasia, dysplasia, and carcinoma revealed that telomere numbers and relative lengths were maintained during progression, implicating a means for preserving telomere repeats and functionality in the absence of telomerase.

Compared with thin CeO2 films (about 2.2nm), the thicker ones (about 22nm) maintained Ce4+ oxidation state even after treatment with H2 up to 500°C while the presence of Pd facilitated the reduction of ceria. The reduction of ceria brought about following that of PdO, which was explained by the spillover of hydride in Pd to CeO2 originating from hydrogen adsorption on the Pd surface. Compared with the sputter deposition method, spin coating produced the smaller size of Pd particles, thus leading to formation of the stable PdO species against hydrogen. Based on these results, a schematic model of Pd/CeO2/Ta/Si was suggested and it might be assumed that spin coating method provided with an environment similar to the conventional impregnation.

Characterization of the materials by various means shows that oxide nano-particles adhere to the external surface of the zeolite and create a fine permeable coating which does not block the zeolite pores. When ceria is used, the combination of phases lowers the maximum activity temperature of the deNOx reaction as much as 150 °C relative to the metal-zeolite only. In addition, a unique activity enhancement in the presence of water is observed. These effects are observed in different zeolite systems to various degrees indicating that the nature of the exchanged metal or zeolite framework is not critical. In particular, CeO2/Cu-ZSM-5 displays a maximum of activity at a temperature as low as 250 °C. The benefits of low temperature and water-enhanced activity obtained by the coating technique exceed those displayed by other bifunctional materials combining cerium and zeolites through different approaches.

The combination of these techniques reveals a lower temperature of reduction for both metals (Cu and Ce) in the bifunctional catalyst. Copper interacts with ceria nanocrystals at the oxide–zeolite interface and forms a localized phase comparable to doped ceria solid solutions commonly used as oxidation catalysts. As a result the catalyst is able to activate C3H6 and form NO2 at low temperatures. Analysis of the stability of adsorbed CO by DRIFTS suggests that the addition of water promotes the oxidation of Cu1+ on the coated catalyst. In addition, TPD and TGA results, in combination with supplementary DRIFTS experiments, indicate that the ceria coating retains water at the interface during reaction conditions. The combination of these events yields relatively high C3H6-SCR activity at temperatures as low as 250 °C. It is believed that the affinity towards water and extended coverage of the coating also protects the zeolite against degradation by restricting the diffusion of water molecules into the zeolite pores.

PEM fuel cells are being developed for three main applications: automotive, stationary, and portable power. Each of these applications has its unique operating conditions and material requirements. Common themes critical to all high performance proton exchange membranes include high protonic conductivity, low electronic conductivity, low permeability to fuel and oxidant, low water transport through diffusion and electro-osmosis, oxidative and hydrolytic stability, good mechanical properties in both the dry and hydrated states, cost, and capability for fabrication into membrane electrode assemblies. Nearly all existing membrane materials for PEM fuel cells rely on absorbed water and its interaction with acid groups to produce protonic conductivity.

Candidates are further screened using functional assays designed specifically for the protein—and function—of interest, suffering from the need to customize the assay to each protein. An alternative strategy is to utilize a probe to detect the structural changes that usually accompany binding of a functional ligand. Wide-angle X-ray scattering from proteins provides a means to identify a broad range of ligand-induced changes in secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. The speed and accuracy of data acquisition, combined with the label-free targets and binding conditions achievable, indicate that WAXS is well suited as a moderate-throughput assay in the detection and analysis of protein-ligand interactions.

JO - Climate Dynamics JF - Climate Dynamics Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 23 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 455 EP - 472 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09307575 AB - We analyze results of 15 global climate simulations contributed to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Focusing on the western USA, we consider both present climate simulations and predicted responses to increasing atmospheric CO2. The models vary in their ability to predict the present climate. In the western USA, a few models produce a seasonal cycle for spatially averaged temperature and/or precipitation in good agreement with observational data. Other models tend to over-predict precipitation in the winter or exaggerate the amplitude of the seasonal cycle of temperature. The models also differ in their ability to reproduce the spatial patterns of temperature and precipitation in the USA. Considering the monthly mean precipitation responses to doubled atmospheric CO2, averaged over the western USA, we find some models predict increases while others predict decreases. The predicted temperature response, on the other hand, is invariably positive over this region; however, for each month, the range of values given by the different models is large compared to the mean model response. We look for possible relationships between the models’ temperature and precipitation responses to doubled CO2 concentration and their ability to simulate some aspects of the present climate. We find that these relationships are weak, at best. The precipitation response over the western USA in DJF and the precipitation response over the mid- and tropical latitudes seem to be correlated with the RMS error in simulated present-day precipitation, also calculated over the mid- and tropical latitudes. However, considering only the responses of the models with the smallest RMS errors does not provide a different estimate of the precipitation response to a doubled CO2 concentration, because even among the most accurate models, the range of model responses is so large. For temperature, we find that models that have smaller RMS errors in present-climate temperature in the north eastern Pacific region predict a higher temperature response in the western USA than the models with larger errors. A similar relation exists between the temperature response over Europe in DJF and the RMS error calculated over the Northern Atlantic.

The fuel mass flux is varied from 0.040 to 0.066 kg/m2 s, which is representative of a significant fraction of the range of fuel mass fluxes that occur in liquid hydrocarbon pool fires. The results show that increasing the fuel mass flux increases the size of the region of unmixed fuel vapor but has little effect on the dynamics in the mixing region within the first diameter above the burner surface. In-plane time-averaged velocities and time-averaged turbulent stresses (, , and ) are given for a vertical plane passing through the burner centerline. Visible emission data are used to infer the probability of the maximum mixture fraction along a path normal to the PIV plane failing to exceed a stoichiometric value. PAH fluorescence data are used to infer the radial position of maximum time-averaged turbulent reaction rate as a function of elevation. Methane (0.054 kg/m2 s) and hydrogen (0.022 kg/m2 s) fires with the same inlet enthalpy flow rate (heat release rate) of 2.1 MW are examined. The comparison of results highlights the effect on the flow field of differences in fuel thermochemistry and density. The hydrogen fire reaches a maximum velocity at a lower elevation than that of the methane fire and has a correspondingly shorter unmixed fuel vapor region and greater lateral (radial) extent of the mixing region for a given elevation. The experiments were conducted with controlled and characterized boundary conditions for the purpose of providing validation data sets relevant to conditions found in fully turbulent pool fires.

The Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) is an Internet-based voting system built by Accenture and its subcontractors for the U.S. Department of Defense Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). The mission of FVAP is to reduce voting barriers for all citizens covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), namely U.S. citizens who are members of the military services, their family members, and nonresident U.S. citizens. SERVE is intended to allow UOCAVA voters both to register to vote and to vote via the Internet, from anywhere in the world. To participate, an eligible voter first enrolls in the SERVE program. After enrollment, the voter may register to vote, and then vote in one or two short sessions from any Internet-connected PC. The PC must run a Microsoft Windows operating system and either the Internet Explorer or Netscape Web browser. Because the Internet is independent of national boundaries, an election held over the Internet is vulnerable to attacks from anywhere in the world.

In a lower-cost approach for fabricating fibrous composites, reinforcing fiber-like cells that are distinct from a continuous matrix phase called the cell boundary can be formed in situ from powders. Structures can be constructed by assembly and consolidation of filaments that consist of the cell phase and its surrounding cell boundary.Fabrication of ceramic fibrous monoliths (FMs) is reviewed and mechanical properties of the most widely studied FMs are discussed. Those based on Si3N4 cells within a BN cell boundary have achieved the best overall properties and uniformity of manufacture, but degrade severely at high temperatures in oxidizing environments. Those based on oxides are more stable, but are substantially weaker. Assessment of the future of FMs is offered, including cost reduction, fabrication practice, property improvement, and formation of complex structures.

In previous work, we have described a local remapping algorithm for a positive cell-centered scalar function that is second-order accurate, conservative, and sign preserving. However remapping in the context of high speed flow introduces new issues, which include the consistent treatment of the kinetic and internal energies, compatible remapping of mass and momentum on the staggered mesh, and the generalization from sign preservation to monotonicity preservation. We describe a remap strategy that deals with each of these issues. Although the theoretical development of this strategy is intricate, the resulting scheme is both simple to implement and efficient. We provide numerical examples to illustrate the individual steps of the remap and its overall performance.

In addition, the dependence of viscosity on the temperature follows the Reynolds equation. In this paper, we propose a constitutive relation, (18), which has the basic structure of a second grade fluid, where the viscosity is now a function of temperature, shear rate, and concentration. As a special case, we solve the fully developed flow of a non-Newtonian fluid given by (11), where the effects of concentration are neglected.

Until recently, it has been thought that MMPs participate in these processes simply by degrading extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. However, it is now clear that MMP activity is much more directed and causes the release of cryptic information from the ECM. By precisely cleaving large insoluble ECM components and ECM-associated molecules, MMPs liberate bioactive fragments and growth factors and change ECM architecture, all of which influence cellular behavior. Thus, MMPs have become a focal point for understanding matrix biology.

Ag2Cu2O3 was found to have a capacity of 358 mAh/g (or 2513 mAh/cc) with an average voltage of 2.0 V, while AgCuO2 had a capacity of 310 mAh/g (or 2214 mAh/cc) with an average voltage of 2.3 V. Material performance was found to vary depending on how the material was discharged due to slow silver migration out of the electrode after reduction by lithium. Differences in the discharge characteristics of AgCuO2 and Ag2Cu2O3 were found to be caused by the relative stability of the Cu(III) cation versus the Ag(I) cation and Cu(II). This was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis, which showed copper (III) reduction occurred before silver reduction.

When charged to 5 V, all the lithium can be extracted from 0.3Li2MnO3·0.7LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 in two distinct steps to yield a Mn0.65Ni0.35O2 product, the first step corresponding predominantly to lithium extraction from the electrode structure with the concomitant oxidation of Ni2+ to Ni4+, and the second to the electrochemical removal of Li2O from the structure. The electrode delivers a rechargeable capacity >250 mAh/g when cycled between 5.0 and 2.0 V vs. Li0; the high capacity and cycling stability are attributed to the high manganese (IV) content in the electrode over this voltage range. Acid-treatment significantly reduces the coulombic inefficiency of the initial charge/discharge cycle of the cells. The electrochemical behavior of 0.3Li2MnO3·0.7LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 is compared with that of standard Li2MnO3 electrodes. The advantage of using the two-component notation xLi2MnO3·(1−x)LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2 instead of the equivalent layered notation Li[Lix/(2+x)Mn(1+x)/(2+x)Ni(1−x)/(2+x)]O2 to monitor the compositional changes that occur in the electrode during electrochemical charge and discharge is highlighted.

Using data covering the period from May 1996 to September 2001, for the California-Oregon Border, Palo Verde, Cinergy, Entergy, and Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland markets, we examine the volatility of electricity wholesale prices over time and across markets. We estimate volatility using a TARCH model to study the differences among markets and the seasonal characteristics of each market. For all markets, we find strong evidence for a downward trend in the ARCH term and a significant negative asymmetric effect over the sample period. We also document important differences among the regional electricity markets not only with respect to wholesale price volatility and seasonal variations, but also with respect to asymmetric properties and persistence of volatility.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/10//10/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5078 EP - 5086 SN - 0013936X AB - Adsorption of uranyl at the surface of calcite was investigated by using batch sorption experiments and synchrotron X-ray standing wave (XSW) measurements. Aqueous solutions containing 236U(Vl) (4.5 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-4 M) and EDTA (5.0 × 10-7 to 1.1 × 10-4 M) were reacted for 90 s to 60 mm with freshly cleaved calcite (104) surfaces and calcite powders. Surface exchange coefficients, sorption kinetics, and influence of powder surface area/solution volume (SNV) ratio were investigated by α-counting of 236U. Powder sorption results at SAN = 870 cm²/mL fit a Freundlich isotherm [log [U]surface (in monolayers) = log K + n log [U]aq (in moles/L)], where K = 1.9 ± 0.5 and n = 0.9 ± 0.1, consistent with uptake of U(Vl) by a specific surface reaction where the availability of sorption sites is nonlimiting in the U concentration range measured. Measured U(Vl) coverages along this isotherm, based on the calcite (104) surface Ca site density, ranged from 0.04% to 5.4% of a monolayer. Steady state surface coverages were obtained within 90 s. Sorption of U(Vl) on calcite (104) single-crystal cleavage surfaces using identical solutions yielded higher coverages, because of increased step density induced by dissolution at the relatively low SNV ratio (∼1) of these measurements. The crystallographic location of the sorbed U(Vl) was examined with the synchrotron XSW technique. Measurements were performed at the Advanced Photon Source on fresh calcite (104) cleavage surfaces reacted for 90 s with U(Vl) solutions. Coherent fractions for sorbed U ranged from 0.14 to 0.62, and the mean value of the U coherent position was 0.84 ± 0.02. This position was independent of dissolved U(Vl) concentration and corresponds to a distance between the U atom and the calcite (104) plane of 2.55 ± 0.06 Å. These results are consistent with U(Vl) adsorption at the calcite surface as an inner-sphere uranyl- carbonate surface complex bonded with the outer oxygen atom(s) of a single surface carbonate group. Steric considerations allow this observed U(Vl) surface complex to occur both at step sites ((441)- and (481)-) and on terrace areas adjacent to Ca vacancies.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/10//10/1/2004 VL - 38 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5201 EP - 5207 SN - 0013936X AB - High-level waste (HLW) is a waste associated with the dissolution of spent nuclear fuel for the recovery of weapons-grade material. It is the priority problem for the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Management Program. Current HLW treatment processes at the Savannah River Site (Aiken, SC) include the use of monosodium titanate (MST, with a similar stoichiometry to NaTi2O5·xH2O) to concentrate strontium (Sr) and actinides. The high affinity of MST for Sr and actinides in HLW solutions rich in Na+ is poorly understood. Mechanistic information about the nature of radionuclide uptake will provide insight about MST treatment reliability. Our study characterized the morphology of MST and the chemistry of sorbed Sr2+ and uranium [U(Vl)] as uranyl ion, UO22+, on MST, which were added (individually) from stock solutions of Sr and 238U(VI) with spectroscopic and transmission electron microscopic techniques. The local structure of sorbed U varied with loading, but the local structure of Sr did not vary with loading. Sorbed Sr exhibited specific adsorption as partially hydrated species whereas sorbed U exhibited specific adsorption as monomeric and dimeric U(Vl)-carbonate complexes. Sorption proved site specific. These differences in site specificity and sorption mechanism may account for the difficulties associated with predicting Sr and U loading and removal kinetics using MST.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 23 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2465 EP - 2472 SN - 07307268 AB - Although intuitively it is apparent that population-level exposure to contaminants dispersed in the environment must be related to the persistence of the contaminant, there has been little effort to quantify this link formally. In this paper we investigate the relationship between overall persistence and/or overall residence time in a multimedia exposure environment and the population level intake of contaminants as expressed by intake fraction (iF), the cumulative fraction of chemical emitted to the environment that is taken up by members of the population. We demonstrate that for any given contaminant and emission scenario the definition of iF implies that it is directly proportional to the overall multimedia persistence (POV), or the overall multimedia residence time (TOV). The proportionality constant has dimensions of time and represents the characteristic time for population intake (CTI) of the chemical from the environment. We then apply the CalTOX fate and exposure model to explore how TOV and CTI combine to determine the magnitude of iF. We find that CTI has a narrow range of possible values relative to TOV across multiple chemicals and emissions scenarios. We use data from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act Priority Substance List (PSL1) Assessments and multimedia POV to show that exposure assessments based on empirical observation are consistent with interpretations from the model. Results indicate that POV derived from screening-level assessments of persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicity (PBT) is a useful indicator of the potential for population-level exposure.

SN - 01757571 AB - Biological membranes contain a high density of protein molecules, many of which associate into two-dimensional microdomains with important physiological functions. We have used Monte Carlo simulations to examine the self-association of idealized protein species in two dimensions. The proteins have defined bond strengths and bond angles, allowing us to estimate the size and composition of the aggregates they produce at equilibrium. With a single species of protein, the extent of cluster formation and the sizes of individual clusters both increase in non-linear fashion, showing a “phase change” with protein concentration and bond strength. With multiple co-aggregating proteins, we find that the extent of cluster formation also depends on the relative proportions of participating species. For some lattice geometries, a stoichiometric excess of particular species depresses cluster formation and moreover distorts the composition of clusters that do form. Our results suggest that the self-assembly of microdomains might require a critical level of subunits and that for optimal co-aggregation, proteins should be present in the membrane in the correct stoichiometric ratios.

SN - 12928941 AB - The model system of poly(ethylene-oxide) or PEO, where the changing hydrogen-bond connectivity of the water has large effect on the conformation of the polymer chain, in mixtures of water and acetonitrile, is experimentally studied. The results show the existence of a threshold water content in the system at which the 3d connectivity of the water network begins. Unusual expansion of the polymer chain, an effect larger than that observed in either of the pure solvents, is seen. Upon addition of small amounts of a monovalent salt, binding of ion to polymer takes place in pure acetonitrile solutions. Salt ions begin to co-ordinate with water molecules at the same solvent ratio as the threshold for water network formation. Ions now no longer complex to PEO; instead, hydrogen bonding of water to the polymer strongly dictates conformation in this regime.

The changes in the coal structure as a result of interaction between the microwave radiation and the coal facilitated improvements to the process of separation and extraction of the coal. In the case of microwave-treated coal at a power of 900 W for a period of 10 min it was possible to obtain increased content of volatile substances to 44 wt% compared to 30 wt% in the untreated sample and decrease of ash content from 49 to 18.3 wt%. The quality of triboelectrostatic separation of microwave irradiated and non-irradiated coal samples was evaluated by comparing the recoveries of the combustible matter and ash. The influence of microwaves on the extraction of coal was also positive: the preliminary thin layer chromatographic analysis of 2 min microwave irradiated and non-irradiated coal extracts confirmed the effect of microwaves on qualitative organic matter composition in the extracts utilizable for special purposes.

While independent lines of geological data suggest that oxygen first began to accumulate in the atmospherec. 2.2 billion years ago, a growing body of biomarker data purports to push this date back fully 500 million years, based on the presumption that an oxygen-dependent biochemistry was functional at this time. Here, we present a cautionary tale in the extension of modern biochemistry into Archean biota, identifying a suite of examples of evolutionary convergence where an enzyme catalysing a highly specific, O2-requiring reaction has an oxygen-independent counterpart, able to carry out the same reaction under anoxic conditions. The anaerobic enzyme has almost certainly been replaced in many reactions by the more efficient and irreversible aerobic version that uses O2. We suggest that the unambiguous interpretation of Archean biomarkers demands a rigorous understanding of modern biochemistry and its extensibility into ancient organisms.

Characterization of both the organic and mineral components in biomineralized samples is, however, usually difficult at the appropriate spatial resolution (i.e. at the submicrometer scale). Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) was used to measure C K-edge, P L-edge, and Ca L-edge near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra of some calcium-containing minerals common in biomineralization processes and to study the experimental biomineralization by the model microorganism,Caulobacter crescentus. We show that the Ca L2,3-edges for hydroxyapatite, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite are unique and can be used as probes to detect these different mineral phases. Using these results, we showed thatC. crescentuscells, when cultured in the presence of high calcium concentration, precipitated carbonate hydroxyapatite. In parallel, we detected proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids in the mineralizing bacteria at the single-cell scale. Finally, we discussed the utility of STXM for the study of natural fossilized microbial systems.

JO - Global Change Biology JF - Global Change Biology Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 10 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1767 EP - 1784 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13541013 AB - We tested the hypothesis that the stable carbon isotope signature of ecosystem respiration (δ13CR) was regulated by canopy conductance (Gc) using weekly Keeling plots (n=51) from a semiarid old-growth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest in Oregon, USA. For a comparison of forests in two contrasting climates we also evaluated trends inδ13CR from a wet 20-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) plantation located near the Pacific Ocean. Intraannual variability inδ13CR was greater than 8.0‰ at both sites, was highest during autumn, winter, and spring when rainfall was abundant, and lowest during summer drought. Theδ13CR of the dry pine forest was consistently more positive than the wetter Douglas-fir forest (mean annualδ13CR:−25.41‰ vs.−26.23‰, respectively,P=0.07). At the Douglas-fir forest,δ13CR–climate relationships were consistent with predictions based on stomatal regulation of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ). Soil water content (SWC) and vapor pressure deficit (vpd) were the most important factors governingδ13CR in this forest throughout the year. In contrast,δ13CR at the pine forest was relatively insensitive toSWCorvpd, and exhibited a smaller drought-related enrichment (∼2‰) than the enrichment observed during drought at the Douglas-fir forest (∼5‰). Groundwater access at the pine forest may buffer canopy–gas exchange from drought. Despite this potential buffering,δ13CR at the pine forest was significantly but weakly related to canopy conductance (Gc), suggesting thatδ13CR remains coupled to canopy–gas exchange despite groundwater access. During drought,δ13CR was strongly correlated with soil temperature at both forests. The hypothesis that canopy-level physiology is a critical regulator ofδ13CR was supported; however, belowground respiration may become more important during rain-free periods.

Some of the highlights of this review are the following items. There was a withdrawal of a previous claim for discovery of element 118. There have been new measurements of some isotopic abundance values that have led to changes for many elements. There was a new set of recommended standards for calibration of gamma-ray energies published for many nuclides. There have been new half-life measurements reported for very short lived isotopes, for many tong-lived nuclides, and for half-lives of double beta (ββ) decay measurements for quasi-stable nuclides. There was also a new reassessment reported of spontaneous fission (sf) half-lives for ground state nuclides, which distinguished between the half-lives from sf decay and from cluster decay and from the new cluster-fission decay process. This review reports on various nuclear interactions such as charged particle cross sections (n,p) and (n,α) measurements for thermal neutrons incident on light nuclides. New thermal (n,γ) cross sections and neutron resonance integrals that have been measured or re-evaluated are also presented.

These materials provide the opportunity to study semiconductor alloys where atoms of very large size mismatch are mixed purposely by modern epitaxial growth techniques. Extensive efforts have been made towards the understanding of the electronic properties of such alloys, in which size-mismatch-induced spatial localisation of the electronic states appears to have played a very important role, in contrast to conventional alloys. In comparison, however, relatively little progress has been made towards the understanding of the defect and impurity properties in this class of materials despite the fact that such studies are essential for realising the vast technological potential of dilute nitrides.

It has been suggested and experimentally demonstrated that the electronic band structure of such highly mismatched alloys (HMAs) is determined by the anticrossing interaction between localised O or N states and the extended states of the semiconductor matrix. These results have important implications for the existing theoretical models of the electronic structure of the highly mismatched alloys.

The worst case scenario for this growth rate is exponential and in this paper we demonstrate through computational example that the traditional set of uniformly distributed interpolation points yields this behavior. We propose a set of nonuniform interpolation points which yield a much improved polynomial growth rate of condition number. These points can be used to construct several types of popular hexahedral basis functions including the 0-form (standard Lagrangian), 1-form (Curl conforming), and 2-form (Divergence conforming) varieties. We demonstrate through computational example the benefits of using these new interpolatory bases in finite element solutions to Maxwell's equations in both the frequency and time domain.

This paper presents a set of data communication and process migration protocols to support communication state transfer in a dynamic, distributed parallel environment. The protocols preserve the semantics of point-to-point communication; they guarantee message delivery, maintain message ordering, and do not introduce deadlock when blocking send or receive operations are performed during process migration. Analytical proofs and prototype implementation are conducted to confirm the correctness of the protocols. Analytical and experimental results show the proposed design is valid and has a true potential in network computing.

Manufacturable and highly reliable oxide films have demonstrated, based on simulation, the ability to induce greater than 1.5-GPa tensile stress in the Si channel, when used as shallow trench isolation (STI) fill. Low-temperature blanket nitride films with a stress range of 2 GPa compressive to greater than 1.4 GPa tensile were also developed to enhance performance in both PMOS and NMOS devices. Combined with a tensile first interlayer dielectric film, the stress management and optimization of the above films can yield significant performance improvement without additional cost, or integration complexities.

Emphases are given to: 1) constructing a finite-element mode) from natural image features with an adaptive mesh and 2) quantifying the Young's modulus of scars using the finite-element model and regularization method, A set of natural point features is extracted from the images of burn patients. A Delaunay triangle mesh is then generated that adapts to the point features. A three-dimensional finite-element model is built on top of the mesh with the aid of range images providing the depth information. The Young's modulus of scars is quantified with a simplified regularization functional, assuming that the knowledge of the scar's geometry is available. The consistency between the relative elasticity index and the physician's rating based on the Vancouver scale (a relative scale used to rate burn scars) indicates that the proposed modeling approach has high potential for image-based quantitative burn scar assessment.

Devices have been fabricated, tested, and approved for production. The SVX4 design is a technology migration of the SVX3D design currently in used by CDF. Whereas SVC3D was fabricated in a 0.8-μm radiation-hard process, SVC4 was fabricated in a standard 0.25-μm mixed-signal CMOS technology using the "radiation tolerant by design" transistor topologles devised by the CERN RD49 collaboration. The specific cell layouts include digital cells developed by the ATLAS Pixel group, and full-custom analog blocks. Unlike its predecessors, the new design also includes the necessary features required for generic use by both the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermillab. Performance of the IC includes > 20 MRad total dose tolerance, and ∼2000 e-rms equivalent input noise charge with 40-pF input capacitance, when sampled at 132-ns period with an 80-ns preamp risetime. At the nominal digitize/readout rate of 106/53 MHz, the 9 mm × 6.3 mm die dissipates ∼2 mW/channel average at 2.5 V. A review of typical operation, details of the design conversion process, and performance measurements are covered.

The first VLSI prototypes consist d of 1- and 5-mW charge sensitive preamplifiers (CSP) based on a modified e telescopic architecture. Characterization of the rise time, linearity dynamic range, equivalent noise charge (ENC), timing resolution and energy resolution are reported and discussed. When connected to an APD-LSO detector, time resolutions of 2.49 and 1.56 us full-width half-maximum (FWHM) were achieved by the 1- and S-mW CSPS, respectively. Both CSPs make it possible to achieve performance characteristics that are adequate for PET imaging. Experimental results indicate that the CMOS 0.18-μm technology is suitable for both the low-power and the high-performance PET front-end applications.

We propose to use a compact (kg-scale), two-phase (liquid-gas) argon ionization detector to measure coherent neutrino scattering off nuclei. In our approach, neutrino-induced nuclear recoils in the liquid produce a weak ionization signal, which is transported into a gas under the influence of an electric field, amplified via electroluminescence, and detected by phototubes or avalanche diodes. This paper describes the features of the detector, and estimates signal and background rates for a reactor neutrino source. Relatively compact detectors of this type, capable of detecting coherent scattering, offer a new approach to flavor-blind detection of man- made and astronomical neutrinos, and may allow development of compact neutrino detectors capable of nonintrusive real-time monitoring of fissile material in reactors.

We have studied the behavior of the bumps by visual inspection of the bumps bonding silicon sensor modules to dummy chips made out of glass. The studies were done before and after thermal cycles, exposure to intense irradiation, and with the assemblies glued to a graphite substrate. We have also carried out studies on effects of temperature changes on both types of bump bonds by observing the responses of single-chip pixel detectors to a 90Sr source. We report the results from these studies as well as the noise and threshold behavior of the pixel readout at various temperatures.

The silicon strip detector at CDF is composed of over laying silicon sensors in the form of a barrel around the colliding beam. The electronic instrumentation (sensors, readout, and transceiver chips) is assembled into the staves of this barrel. In this paper we describe the development of the mini port card (MPC). The MPC Is located at one of the ends of the stave, and it is responsible for signal translation and repetition from the readout chips to and from the data acquisition system (DAQ). The MPC's development has taken two approaches that use different technologies. One of the approaches uses BeO as the board substrate (BeO-MPC), while the other approach uses a hybrid rigid-flexible polylmide substrate (Poly-MPC). We present test results of pre-production parts, each one assembled with a different MPC packaging technology. Complete thermal and electrical characterization of the MPC is shown, and the advantages and disadvantages of both. technologies, as well as their Influence in the overall system performance, are presented [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2187 EP - 2192 SN - 00189499 AB - Compact muon solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN large hadron coffider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10000-ton return yoke made of construction steel. Accurate characterization of the magnetic field every- where in the CMS detector, including the large ferromagnetic parts of the yoke, is required. To measure the field in and around ferromagnetic parts, a set of flux-loops and Hall probe sensors will be installed on several of the steel pieces. Fast discharges of the solenoid during system commissioning tests will be used to induce voltages in the flux-loops that can be integrated to measure the flux in the steel at full excitation of the solenoid. The Hall sensors will give supplementary information on the axial magnetic field and permit estimation of the permanent field in the steel after the fast discharge. An experimental R&D program has been undertaken, using a test flux-loop, two Hall sensors, and sample disks made from the same construction steel used for the CMS magnet yoke. A sample disc, assembled with the test flux-loop and the Hall sensors, was inserted between the pole tips of a dipole electromagnet equipped with a computer-controlled power supply to measure the excitation of the steel from full saturation to zero field. The results of the measurements are presented and discussed.

Much of this rejection will come from the detection of either or both of the photons by our photon veto system. The main CKM photon veto system is based on 80-layer sandwiches of 1-mm Pb and 5-mm fast scintillator with wavelength shifting fibers inside a vacuum decay volume, read out with photomultipiler tubes outside the vacuum.

The CDF Run llb Silicon Vertex Detector (SVXIIb) has been designed to be a radiation-tolerant replacement for the currently installed SVXII because SVXII was not expected to survive the Tevatron luminosity anticipated for Run IIb. One major change in the new design is the use of a single mechanical and electrical element throughout the array. This element called a stave, carries six single-sided silicon sensors on each side and is built using carbon fiber skins with a high thermal conductivity on a foam core with a built-In cooling channel. A. Kapton bus cable carries power, data and control signals underneath the silicon sensors on each side of the stave. Sensors are read out in pairs via a ceramic hybrid glued on one of the sensors and equipped with four SVX4 readout chips.

We describe a technique of measuring this diffusion and present PSF measurements for an 800 × 1100, 15 μm pixel, 280 μm thick, back-illuminated, p-channel CCD that can be over-depleted. The PSF is measured over a wavelength range of 450 nm to 650 nm and at substrate bias voltages between 6 V and 80 V.

One of the key needs to counter such a threat is long-range detection of nuclear material. Theoretically, gamma-ray emissions from such material should allow passive detection to distances greater than 100 m. However, detection at this range has long been thought impractical due to spatially fluctuating levels of natural background radiation. These fluctuations are the major source of uncertainty in detection and mean that sensitivity cannot be increased simply by increasing detector size. Recent work, has shown that this problem can be overcome through the use of Imaging techniques. In this paper we describe the background problems, the advantages of Imaging and, the construction of a prototype, large-area (0.57 m2) gamma-ray Imager to detect nuclear materials at distances of ∼ 100 m.

This paper endeavors to analyze and evaluate the costs and benefits associated with the use of a network of radiation detection for applications involving the detection of a moving radioactive source. This analysis is restricted to the one-dimensional case, i.e., to the case where the moving source is constrained to move along a single path. It is found that the relative advantage resulting from sensor dispersal depends upon the goals, objectives, and constraints of the measurement scenario. The dispersal of sensors into a network may be advisable or required for operational reasons, but from a statistical perspective does not directly lead to improved performance in terms of detection efficiency and false detection rate.

The signal in PDD is generated by the transport of holes (instead of electrons as in an n-type drift detector) in the bulk of the detector and their arrival to the anode. Large arrays of drift cells are required for the extended X-ray absorption fine structure experiments (EXAFS). The large number of cells forces the design of the drift cell with a minimal number of bonds per cell. The presented design creates the drift field by the spiral-based voltage divider. Moreover, the Leakage current created at the depleted part of the detector surface is also collected without an external connection to the cell. The leakage current is collected directly on the inner terminal of the divider. The lithographic processes of the wafer are done only on one side resulting in a much faster fabrication. The lithography-less side of the detector was uniformly implanted with phosphorus creating a shallow, rectifying p-n+ junction. This side is exposed to the radiation. Positive charges in the native oxide help to keep the thickness of the dead entrance layer at the minimum. Moreover, this layer is not sensitive to the radiation damage caused by very low energy X-rays that do not damage the silicon structure and produce only additional positive charge in the oxide. For the first time, the design makes an active usage of the positive charge in the oxide as a rectifying junction on p-type silicon.

First, a large-area native epitaxial silicon photogate sensor was designed to increase the charge collected per hit pixel and to reduce charge diffusion to neighboring pixels. High charge to voltage conversion is maintained by subsequent charge transfer to a low capacitance readout node. Second, a per-pixel correlated double sampling kT/C reset noise reduction circuit was tested. It requires only one read, as compared to two for typical double sampling in active pixel sensors, and no off-pixel storage or subtraction is needed, The technique reduced input-referred temporal noise by a factor of 2.5 to a measured 15.6 e-, rms. Finally, a column-level active reset technique was designed that suppresses kT/C reset noise. It reduced noise by up to a factor of 7.6, to an estimated 8.3 input-referred electrons, rms. The technique also dramatically reduces fixed pattern (pedestal) noise, by up to a factor of 21. This may reduce pixel-by-pixel pedestal differences enough to permit sparse data scan without per-pixel offset corrections.

T1 - A Next Generation, High Speed Detector for Synchrotron Radiation Research. JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2341 EP - 2346 SN - 00189499 AB - A high-speed, one-dimensional detector array for electrons and UV/X-ray photons has been developed. The detector is capable of handling the high countrates encountered in at third generation synchrotron radiation sources and is free from nonlinearity problems present in charge coupled device (CCD) detectors. Electrons are counted by a configuration of microchannel plates, an array of charge collection electrodes, and custom-designed integrated circuits (IC) assembled on a ceramic hybrid. The charges are collected on 768 strips with a 48 μm pitch that are wire-bonded to 6 pairs of signal processing ICs. Each front-end IC has 128 channels of amplifiers (peaking time 25 ns) and discriminators. The pulse-pair resolution is 50 ns leading to a maximum linear countrate/channel of 2 MHz. The second, custom-designed IC features 24-b buffered counters and a serial link for the transfer of commands and data. A possible deadtime-less readout of all channels in 150 μs opens the door to time resolved experiments. The complete detector system includes the high-voltage power supply, a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based data acquisition system, and supporting software. Special care has been taken to insure reliable operation in an ultra-high vacuum environment. The detector architecture and design is described and measured performance characteristics such as spatial resolution and count-rate linearity are presented.

The method is serial and requires one dock cycle per layer. It has two main advantages over a logical equation approach. First, missing track elements have no effect on the amount of calculation required and the resolution degrades in a predictable manner. Second, this method allows implementing information from the third (nonbend) coordinate as a simple extension to the basic algorithm.

The setup consisted of 24 drift tubes in a 6 × 4 arrangement. The neutron energy was 18.3 MeV. The anode wire voltage varied from 2200 to 2800 V. For a neutron flux of about 2.75 kHz/cm2, the drift tube sensitivity to 18.3-MeV neutrons ranged from 0.031% to 0.606% for anode voltages between 2200 and 2800 V, respectively.

The availability of silicon as an almost ideal semiconductor material is one of the main reasons for this progress. The well-defined properties of the silicon-silicon dioxide interface allowed the development of detector structures beyond the structure of a classical diode detector, which was practically the only silicon detector structure 20 years ago. All new structures make use of an electric field parallel to the large surface of the detector. Improvements in the production of silicon detectors has lead to a substantial decrease of the detector leakage current. These detectors can achieve their best performance very close to or at room temperature.

These experiments, conducted under both dc and pulsed conditions, lead to a model of switch operation that enables the design of such switches for multi-megampere operation. This paper describes the successful implementation of a surface tracking switch as an operational component in several high-current pulsed power systems, and offers some insight into the operation of surface-tracking switches that may assist in future work to apply the technique as a triggered switch in very-high-energy and high-voltage systems.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part 1 of 2 VL - 32 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1778 EP - 1789 SN - 00933813 AB - We are studying the behavior of self-breaking, high-voltage water switches for the Z refurbishment project. In Z-20, three or four water switches in parallel are charged to 4 MV in ∼220 ns. The water gap between switch electrodes is 13-15 cm, and the enhancement of the positive and negative electrodes is varied to study time-evolution of the breakdown arcs, current sharing, and switch simultaneity. In addition to the standard electrical diagnostics (V, I), we are looking at one or more of the switches during the breakdown phase with two optical diagnostics: a streak camera and a fast framing camera. The streak camera has ∼1 -ns resolution, and the framing camera provides seven frames with >5 ns exposure times. For identical electric fields, the streamers originating on the positive electrode form earlier and move more rapidly than the streamers originating on the negative electrode. We observe four distinct phases in the closure of the water switches that depend on the macroscopic electric fields in the water: 1) No streamers propagate at E-fields below ∼ 100 kV/cm from positive electrodes or voltages below ∼ 140 kV/cm for negative electrodes; 2) streamers propagate with constant velocity between 100 and ∼ 300 kV/cm; 3) above 300 kVlcm, the streamer velocities become linearly proportional to the electric field; 4) above 600 kVlcm, the velocity of streamers from the negative electrodes appears to saturate at ∼ 100 cm/ps. The velocity of the streamers from the positive electrode continues to increase with E-field, reaching sim;1% of the speed of light when the switch reaches closure.

The extraction kicker system is a high peak power, high average power, high-precision pulse-wave- form, low beam impedance, and high repetition rate pulsed power system. It has been successfully designed and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY. The system consists of fourteen extraction magnet sections inside the ring vacuum chamber and fourteen identical high-voltage modulators located in the service building. The design features a Blumlein pulse-forming-network (PFN) based topology, a low beam impedance termination, a fast current switching thyratron, and low inductance capacitor banks. It has a maximum charging voltage of 50 kV, an open circuit output of 100 kV, and a designed maximum pulsed current output of 4 kA per modulator. The overall system output will reach multiple GW peak power with a 60 pulse/s repetition rate. A prototype modulator has been successfully built and tested well above the SNS requirement. The first batch of production modulators have passed all required tests at manufacture facility and delivered to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, and the rest of the production units are under construction. The technical challenges and development results are presented in this paper.

Cylinder eccentricity correlates with an azimuthal variation in the axial current, the magnetic field, and the force on the liner. The asymmetric force sums to a net force tending to restore the inner cylinder to concentricity. Complete pinch compression and concentricity are achieved simultaneously when the initial radius of the inner cylinder Ri(0) is about 2/3 the radius of the outer return current cylinder Ro or, equivalently, when the initial liner inductance per unit length is about 0.82 . nil/cm. Compressing the liner onto a finite-sized cylindrical target boosts this critical ratio only up to Ri(0)/Ro ≈ 3/4. Recent and planned liner compression experiments are evaluated according to these criteria.

Analysis of experimental data showed that the inner surface of the liner had attained a velocity of between 6.8-8.4 km/s, consistent with detailed numerical calculations.

A PR) was developed for this purpose using the Gamble II generator. For maximum dose-rate conditions, the short-circuit phase duration was 40 ns, after which the voltage increased to 1.8 MV and the total current in the diode was 0.5 MA. The X-ray pulsewidth was 8 ns, much less than the typical 50 ns pulsewidth with a vacuum diode. This PH) was adapted to the higher-current Saturn generator at 6-8 MA by making a 10-cm diameter circular array of 6,9, or 12 isolated PFDs. Higher dose rates were obtained using fewer PFDs; about 1 × 1012 rad/s with the 12-PR) array, 2 × 1012 with nine PFDs and 4 × 1012 with 6 PFDs. Analyses based on electrical and radiation diagnostics indicate that 40%-77% of the electrical current produces radiation at the time of maximum dose rate. The X-ray pulsewidth was typically 13-16 ns, less than the pulsewidth for standard (vacuum) bremsstrahlung diodes on Saturn. This system, with improvements in reproducibility, could provide a high dose-rate, small-area bremsstrahlung capability for high current generators.

JO - Indoor Air JF - Indoor Air Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 14 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 333 EP - 341 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09056947 AB - Student attendance in American public schools is a critical factor in securing limited operational funding. Student and teacher attendance influence academic performance. Limited data exist on indoor air and environmental quality (IEQ) in schools, and how IEQ affects attendance, health, or performance. This study explored the association of student absence with measures of indoor minus outdoor carbon dioxide concentration (dCO2). Absence and dCO2 data were collected from 409 traditional and 25 portable classrooms from 22 schools located in six school districts in the states of Washington and Idaho. Study classrooms had individual heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, except two classrooms without mechanical ventilation. Classroom attributes, student attendance and school-level ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES) were included in multivariate modeling. Forty-five percent of classrooms studied had short-term indoor CO2 concentrations above 1000 p.p.m. A 1000 p.p.m. increase in dCO2 was associated ( P < 0.05) with a 0.5–0.9% decrease in annual average daily attendance (ADA), corresponding to a relative 10–20% increase in student absence. Annual ADA was 2% higher ( P < 0.0001) in traditional than in portable classrooms. This study provides motivation for larger school studies to investigate associations of student attendance, and occupant health and student performance, with longer term indoor minus outdoor CO2 concentrations and more accurately measured ventilation rates. If our findings are confirmed, improving classroom ventilation should be considered a practical means of reducing student absence. Adequate or enhanced ventilation may be achieved, for example, with educational training programs for teachers and facilities staff on ventilation system operation and maintenance. Also, technological interventions such as improved automated control systems could provide continuous ventilation during occupied times, regardless of occupant thermal comfort demands.

This new class of dynamical networks can represent phenomenological models for self-organization in physics and biology. Applications of these networks to pattern recognition, associative memory, synthesis of models based upon observation data, detection of abnormalities and data compression are discussed. The difference between the proposed dynamical networks and neural networks is emphasized.

Like many questions that arise in biological research, this problem cannot be addressed generally by traditional laboratory experimentation alone. Instead, an approach that integrates experiment and computation is required. We formulate the transmembrane protein structure determination problem as a bound-constrained optimization problem using a special empirical scoring function, called Bundler, as the objective function. In this paper, we describe the optimization problem and its mathematical properties, and we examine results obtained using two different derivative-free optimization algorithms.

CIRCE (Coherent InfraRed CEnter) will be a 66 m circumference ring located on top of the ALS booster synchrotron shielding tunnel and using the existing ALS injector. This location provides enough floor space for both the CIRCE ring, its required shielding, and numerous beamlines. We briefly outline a model for CSR emission in which a static bunch distortion induced by the synchrotron radiation field is used to significantly extend the stable CSR emission towards higher frequencies. This model has been verified with experimental CSR results. We present the calculated CIRCE photon flux where a gain of 6–9 orders of magnitude is shown compared to existing far-IR sources. Additionally, the particular design of the dipole vacuum chamber has been optimized to allow an excellent transmission of these far-infrared wavelengths. We believe that the CIRCE source can be constructed for a modest cost.

Given the size of human cells (about 12–50 μm in diameter), IR micro-spectroscopy (IR-MSP) is an ideal tool for studying individual cells, or fractions thereof. In this contribution, the methodology for collecting IR spectra of individual cells will be explored using spectrometers that employ either synchrotron or conventional (thermal) light sources. Although synchrotron-based measurements are superior to those of conventional instruments, particularly at apertures approaching the diffraction limit, the difference in spectral quality and data acquisition time has been reduced drastically for a new generation of conventional instruments.

We have successfully identified and suppressed several noise sources affecting beamlines 1.4.2, 1.4.3, and 1.4.4 at the advanced light source (ALS), resulting in a significant increase in the quality of FTIR spectra obtained. In this paper, we present our methods of noise source analysis, the negative effect of noise on the infrared beam quality, and the techniques used to reduce the noise. These include reducing the phase noise in the storage ring radio-frequency (RF) system, installing an active mirror feedback system, analyzing and changing physical mounts to better isolate portions of the beamline optics from low-frequency environmental noise, and modifying the input signals to the main ALS RF system. We also discuss the relationship between electron beam energy oscillations at a point of dispersion and infrared beamline noise.

The P-V curves and switching current characteristics of PZT thin films were investigated as a function of annealing temperature. With increasing the annealing temperature from 400°C to 700°C, the P-V hysteresis loop became more rectangular shaped, the remnant and saturated polarizations increased, and the activation field decreased. The remnant polarization (Pr) of the film annealed at 400°C and 700°C was 23 µC/cm² and 29 µC/cm², respectively. The switching current behavior depending on the annealing temperature was successfully observed. The value of activation field (α) decreased from 422 ± 27 kV/cm to 339 ± 28 kV/cm with increasing the annealing temperature.

A comprehensive expression to predict glass-forming ability (GFA) for various glass-forming systems, γ=Tx/(Tg+Tl), was derived, where Tx is the crystallization temperature, Tg the glass transition temperature and Tl the liquidus temperature. Our physical-metallurgy approach is supported strongly by experimental data reported for various bulk amorphous materials. Also, some misconception commonly used for assessing the GFA in the literature will be clarified.

Glass transition and crystallization temperatures were determined by differential scanning calorimetry to be 721 and 766 K, respectively. Both strain rate and temperature were found to significantly affect deformation behavior in the supercooled liquid region. A strain rate change method was employed to obtain the strain rate sensitivity (m) and the maximum value of m was determined to be 0.61 at 750 K. A large compressive strain of 0.78 was achieved at a strain rate of 3×10-3 s-1 at 740 K. Structures of the amorphous material, both before and after deformation, were studied using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The compressive properties are presented and discussed in light of the structural change.

The details of these structural changes are unclear, however, particularly during strain localization in shear bands. In this study, the free volume changes associated with inhomogeneous plastic deformation of a Cu-based bulk metallic glass were examined using positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). PAS results indicated that there was a distribution of free volume site sizes in both the as-quenched and rolled glasses, and that the concentration of larger sites increased with deformation. Differential scanning calorimetry was also used to observe the glass transition behaviors of Cu- and Zr-based glasses after rolling and annealing. Annealing resulted in an increase in the height of the endothermic glass transition peak, consistent with structural relaxation relative to the as-quenched material. Deformation resulted in both a lower endothermic peak height and an earlier and deeper exothermic peak associated with structural relaxation, indicating a more disordered structure with more free volume.

In the as-formed Fe70Nb10B20 and Fe73.5Nb3Si13.5Cu1B9 glasses, crystalline nano-clusters as small as 1 nm were observed using HREM (high resolution electron microscopy) under optimized defocus conditions. Nano-diffraction with a probe size of 1 nm revealed diffraction patterns of bcc-Fe and Fe-compound, suggesting the presence of nanoscale phase separation in these as-formed specimens. Atomic pair distribution function was calculated from analyzing electron diffraction intensity obtained from a large area in the samples using energy-filtering. For the Fe–Nb–B glass, an averaged atomic structural model with 2500 atoms was constructed using reverse Monte-Carlo calculation followed by Voronoi polyhedral analysis. The analysis revealed the presence of bcc-Fe-like, B-centered trigonal prism and highly coordinated Nb–Fe polyhedral structures, which was consistent with experimental results of HREM and nano-diffraction. A Zr71Cu13Ni10Ti3Al3 bulk metallic glass was also studied using HREM and high angle annular dark-field (HAADF) techniques. Crystalline clusters with sizes of about 1–2 nm were detected in the as-cast Zr71Cu13Ni10Ti3Al3. In the HAADF image, bright contrasts extending as small as 2 nm were found to fluctuate locally, indicating a local compositional fluctuation caused by nanoscale phase separation.

The short-range order of the as-prepared alloys differ. This resulted in different phase selection processes during annealing for the two alloys. To determine the initial nucleating phases, we analyzed the differences in the total scattering function S(Q) as a function of time at a temperature ∼50 K below the crystallization temperature. Both alloys undergo a structural relaxation prior to nucleation and growth. Devitrification proceeds from nucleation of the icosahedral phase for the MS alloy and by nucleation of the high temperature stable MoSi2-type structure for the MM alloy.

The injection-cast Ni59Zr16Ti13Si3Sn2Nb7 BMG showed a significantly improved plastic region to failure of 6.5%, as compared to that of the injection-cast Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 BMG of 2%. The Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 MGMC containing brass-fibers shows macroscopic plasticity after yielding, and the level of plastic strain increased to around 2% with increasing brass content up to 40 vol.%, while monolithic warm-extruded Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 BMG show no plastic deformation region. Present study shows that the plasticity of BMG can be improved by selecting proper BMG alloy composition or by introducing ductile reinforcing phase in the BMG matrix.

Samples were compared in two different electrolytes at two different temperatures. Tests were conducted at 22 and 37 °C in both, an aerated 0.6 M NaCl electrolyte and a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) electrolyte with a physiologically relevant dissolved oxygen content. For all tested conditions, the alloy demonstrated passive behavior at the open-circuit potential with low corrosion rates. However, a susceptibility to localized pitting corrosion was observed in all of the tested conditions. At both temperatures, statistical analyses revealed that the LM-001 BMG exhibited comparable or improved values for every corrosion parameter in the PBS electrolyte, as compared to the NaCl electrolyte. The mean differences between the protection potentials and the open-circuit corrosion potentials were determined to be positive values with greater magnitudes for the PBS electrolyte. Thus, the material may undergo pitting corrosion at surface flaws or after incubation-time periods, depending on the local and bulk environments, with lower probabilities for the PBS electrolyte.

The onset of recrystallization occurs around 710 K, with the formation of Zr2Cu, Al3Zr4, and Ni10Zr7. Nanoindentation hardness and elastic modulus were obtained as a function of temperature from 298 to 723 K. The hardness was measured to be ∼7.5 GPa and found unchanged at temperatures below 673 K, but softened rapidly and decreased to 5 GPa at 723 K. These results can be correlated very well with the onset of recrystallization of this alloy at ∼700 K. The present study demonstrates that transmission electron microscopy, hot-stage nanoindentation, and X-ray diffraction are supplementary techniques for the study of glass relaxation and crystallization of metallic glasses.

This study reveals that oxygen content during melt spinning indeed strongly influences the formation of the as-quenched structure in this alloy system. At a wheel speed of 25 m/s, a critical amount of oxygen was found to be required to form amorphous ribbons. At lower oxygen levels (i.e. <500 ppm mass), a fully crystallized structure forms that is composed mainly of meta-stable β-Zr with a small fraction of a quasicrystals (QC) phase. At higher oxygen levels (∼1000 ppm mass), the as-quenched structure transitions to an apparently amorphous structure, and with further oxygen additions forms a mixture of amorphous and either a QC phase (∼1500 ppm mass) or a crystalline Zr6Pt3O phase (>2500 ppm mass). Details regarding the structural similarity between the QC, β-Zr and Zr6Pt3O phases are discussed.

The HCF tests were performed, using an electrohydraulic machine at a frequency of 10 Hz with a R ratio of 0.1 and under tension–tension loading. Note that R=σmin/σmax, where σmin and σmax are the applied minimum and maximum stresses, respectively. The test environments were air and vacuum. A high-speed and high-sensitivity thermographic-infrared (IR) imaging system was used for the nondestructive evaluation of temperature evolutions during fatigue testing of the BMGs. A sparking phenomenon was observed at the final fracture moment of Zr50Al10Cu30Ni10 in air, while a bright notch section was observed near the final fracture moment of these two BMGs in vacuum. The effect of the chemical composition on the fatigue behavior of the Zr-based BMGs was studied. The fatigue-endurance limit of Zr50Al10Cu30Ni10 (865 MPa) was somewhat greater than that of Zr50Al10Cu40 (752 MPa) in air. The fatigue lives in vacuum and air were generally found to be comparable. The fatigue-fracture surface consisted of four main regions: the fatigue crack-initiation, crack-propagation, final-fast-fracture, and apparent-melting areas. Apparent fracture toughness was determined from the measurement of the crack-propagation region of the fatigue-fractured surface. The fracture-toughness values of Zr50Al10Cu40 were greater than those of Zr50Al10Cu30Ni10. The vein pattern and droplets with a melted appearance were observed in the apparent melting region. There were microcracks on the outer surface of the specimen, which could be associated with multiple fatigue-crack-initiation sites. These microcracks might result from shear bands and shear-off steps.

It is essential to investigate the mechanical-damage processes of BMGs in order to improve their reliability. Up to now, however, the mechanical-damage mechanism of BMGs has not been fully understood, especially during fatigue processes. In the current research, the mechanical-damage processes of Zr-based BMGs during both fatigue and tensile tests were investigated in-situ by thermography technologies. Except for the final fracture moment, the mechanical behaviors of BMGs have been observed to be dominated by elastic deformations. In the present study, the thermoelastic effect was used to predict the stress concentration at the center-notch region of the BMG specimens. An obvious thermoelastic degradation phenomenon was observed at the center-notch region of the specimen, which could result from the free-volume-accumulation process during fatigue, and can be used to predict the fatigue-damage-evolution process and the final failure. Multiple shear bands were observed in-situ and analyzed on BMGs before failures during tensile tests by thermography, while no shear bands were observed during fatigue tests, which indicated that the failure mechanism during fatigue could be different from that during the tensile test. Furthermore, instant melting and liquid splitting of BMGs at the fracture moment was captured in-situ by thermography. As a new nondestructive-evaluation method, thermography could open up wide applications in detecting in-situ mechanical-damages of materials and structural components.

(1994) and Korn et al. (2002) observed cleavage cracking along a bimaterial interface between Nb and sapphire. The stress required for cleavage cracking is around the theoretical strength of the material. Classical plasticity models fall short to reach such a high stress level. We use the conventional theory of mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity (Huang et al., 2004) to investigate the stress field around the tip of an interface crack between Nb and sapphire. The tensile stress at a distance of 0.1 µm to the interface crack tip reaches 13.3δY, where cry is the yield stress of Nb. This stress is nearly 4 times of that predicted by classical plasticity theory (3.6δY) at the same distance to the crack tip, and is high enough to trigger cleavage cracking in materials and interfaces. This is consistent with Elssner et al.'s (1994) and Korn et al.'s (2002) experimental observations.

The computation of the vJ/c correction to the gravitational time delay difference relevant to the experiment is derived, where vJ is the speed of Jupiter as measured from Earth. Since the vJ/c corrections are too small to have been measured in the Jupiter/quasar experiment, it is impossible that the speed of gravity was extracted from the data, and I explain what went wrong with the data analysis. Finally, mistakes are shown in papers by Fomalont and Kopeikin intended to rebut my work and the work of others.

A series of “numerical” experiments were conducted to calculate changes in the permeability of simulated fractured rock masses under various loading conditions. Numerical experiments were conducted in two ways: (1) increasing the overall stresses with a fixed ratio of horizontal to vertical stresses components; and (2) increasing the differential stresses (i.e., the difference between the horizontal and vertical stresses) while keeping the magnitude of vertical stress constant.These numerical experiments show that the permeability of fractured rocks decreases with increased stress magnitudes when the stress ratio is not large enough to cause shear dilation of fractures, whereas permeability increases with increased stress when the stress ratio is large enough. Permeability changes at low stress levels are more sensitive than at high stress levels due to the nonlinear fracture normal stress-displacement relation. Significant stress-induced channeling is observed as the shear dilation causes the concentration of fluid flow along connected shear fractures. Anisotropy of permeability emerges with the increase of differential stresses, and this anisotropy can become more prominent with the influence of shear dilation and localized flow paths. A set of empirical equations in closed-form, accounting for both normal closure and shear dilation of the fractures, is proposed to model the stress-dependent permeability. These equations prove to be in good agreement with the results obtained from our numerical experiments.

The optic of short output focal length (15.5 mm) with a beam convergence of 16.8 (10)° has a focal spot diameter of ∼100 μm for 3.2 Å neutrons. For an MnF2 single-crystal sample of this diameter on a pulsed neutron source, this lens gives an expected integrated intensity gain of ∼100 for a 020 Bragg peak. Further measurements on a powder diffractometer show that the expected diffracted beam intensities for Ni have gains in excess of 500 for powder samples of this diameter. The degradation of resolution is minimized in the backscattering geometry.

The emphasis of VTMX was on stable atmospheric processes in the cold-air pool that formed in the basin at night. During the night the jet was fully formed as it entered the GSL basin from the south. Thus, it was a feature of the complex string of basins draining toward the Great Salt Lake, which included at least the Utah Lake basin to the south. The timing of the evening reversal to down-basin flow was sensitive to the larger-scale north–south pressure gradient imposed on the basin complex. On nights when the pressure gradient was not too strong, local drainage flow (slope flows and canyon outflow) was well developed along the Wasatch Range to the east and coexisted with the basin jet. The coexistence of these two types of flow generated localized regions of convergence and divergence, in which regions of vertical motion and transport were focused. Mesoscale numerical simulations captured these features and indicated that updrafts on the order of 5 cm s-1 could persist in these localized convergence zones, contributing to vertical displacement of air masses within the basin cold pool.

It is shown that the distribution of the thermal gradient is not monotonic. The maximum value of the thermal gradient is observed in the heat affected zone near the fusion line. Depending on the temperature, the formation of dislocation is accompanied by the partial or complete dissolution of γ′ particles in the matrix. Dislocations form and multiply due to thermal gradients, and their arrangement correlates with temperature gradient field and with the dissolution and reprecipitation of γ′ particles.

The simulation results are in good agreement with new experimental data presented here, for the Hugoniot of single-crystal copper along «100». Simulations were performed for Hugoniot pressures in the range 2 GPa – 800 GPa, up to well above the shock induced melting transition. Large anisotropies are found for shock propagation along «100», «110», and «111», with quantitative differences from pair potentials results. Plastic deformation starts at Up≳0.75 km/s, and melting occurs between 200 and 220 GPa, in agreement with the experimental melting pressure of polycrystalline copper. The Voigt and Reuss averages of our simulated Hugoniot do not compare well below melting with the experimental Hugoniot of polycrystalline copper. This is possibly due to experimental targets with preferential texturing and/or a much lower Hugoniot elastic limit.

We first review previous experimental work determining order on a short-range scale as probed by Raman spectroscopy, and provide, using molecular dynamics simulations, a theoretical explanation for why the band gap increases when this type of ordering is improved. We then present results on a-Si:H films deposited by hot wire chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and plasma enhanced CVD where the short-range order, from Raman spectroscopy, does not change, but order on a larger or medium-range scale does. This order is determined by measuring the width of the first x-ray diffraction peak, and was varied by depositing films at different substrate temperatures and/or different hydrogen dilutions. We find that the film band gap also increases when this type of ordering improves, and we provide a possible mechanism to explain these trends. We also suggest that much of the previous literature showing an increase in band gap with increasing film hydrogen content should be treated with caution, as these works may not have accurately deconvoluted the effects of optical adsorption due to film hydrogenation from those due to both types of lattice ordering. Finally, we argue that this same trend may apply, to a limited extent, to microcrystalline silicon.

Conclusive spectroscopic evidence for the use of carbon-based paints on these sherds has been provided using the Raman technique. Maghaemite (γ-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4), found alternatively or mixed with a carbonaceous pigment, were also identified on some sherds. Infrared measurements indicated that little, if any, organic material from biogenic precursors of the black pigment or from pigment binding agents remained in the paints. These spectroscopic results were obtained rapidly and non-destructively on unprepared samples, and the resulting data complement, and in some instances correct, paint type conclusions drawn from studies involving techniques such as XRD, SEM-EDX, and XPS.

The molecule displayed a modified Rossman fold. MoaB is assembled into a hexamer composed of two trimers. The monomers have high structural similarity with two proteins, MogA and MoeA, from the molybdenum cofactor synthesis pathway in E. coli, as well as with domains of mammalian gephyrin and plant Cnx1, which are also involved in molybdopterin synthesis. Structural com- parison between these proteins and the amino acid con- servation patterns revealed a putative active site in MoaB. The structural analysis of this site allowed to advance several hypothesis that can be tested in further studies.

In vertebrates, five Rad51 paralogs (Rad51B, Rad51C, Rad51D, XRCC2, and XRCC3) are expressed in mitotically growing cells and are thought to play mediating roles in homologous recombination, although their precise functions remain unclear. Among the five paralogs, Rad51C was found to be a central component present in two complexes, Rad51C-XRCC3 and Rad51B-Rad51C-Rad51D-XRCC2. We have shown previously that the human Rad51C protein exhibits three biochemical activities, including DNA binding, ATPase, and DNA duplex separation. Here we report the use of RNA interference to deplete expression of Rad51C protein in human HT1080 and HeLa cells. In HT1080 cells, depletion of Rad51C by small interfering RNA caused a significant reduction of frequency in homologous recombination. The level of XRCC3 protein was also sharply reduced in Rad51C-depleted HeLa cells, suggesting that XRCC3 is dependent for its stability upon heterodimerization with Rad51C. In addition, Rad51C-depleted HeLa cells showed hypersensitivity to the DNA-cross-linking agent mitomycin C and moderately increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Importantly, the radiosensitivity of Rad51C-deficient HeLa cells was evident in S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle but not in G1 phase. Together, these results provide direct cellular evidence for the function of human Rad51C in homologous recombinational repair.

The angular and velocity distributions of the propargyl radical (C3H3) products were measured using single photon ionization (9.6 eV) at the advanced light source. The measured distributions indicate that the mechanism involves formation of a long-lived C3H4 complex followed by simple C-H bond fission producing C3H3+H. This work, which is the first crossed beams study of a reaction involving an electronically excited polyatomic molecule, demonstrates the feasibility of crossed molecular beam studies of reactions involving 1CH2.

SN - 07490208 AB - Many contaminated sediments and dredged material mixtures of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments occur in wavedominated environments. In-situ analysis is imperative in understanding the erosion and transport of these sediments. Recent research efforts have developed a flume with unidirectional flow that can measure in-situ sediment erosion with depth (SEDflume). However, the flow regime for the SEDflume has limited applicability to wave-dominated environments. Therefore, a unique device, called the SEAWOLF flume, was developed and used by Sandia National Laboratories to simulate high-shear stress erosion processes experienced in coastal waters where wave forcing dominates the system. The SEAWOLF is capable of testing in-situ or laboratory prepared cores. Erosion rates of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments prepared in the laboratory were determined in oscillatory and combined oscillatory and linear flow regimes. Results of these tests were compared to results from the unidirectional SEDflume. Although maximum shear stresses for oscillatory flows were as high as 7 Pa for the tests, the associated erosion rate for specific sediment over the entire wave cycle were comparable to much lower shear stresses found for constant, linear flows. For example, sediment exposed to a maximum of 7 Pa over a 15 s period resulted in erosion rates similar to results for a constant linear shear stress of 3.4 Pa. Analysis of results for all sediments tested led to a determination of values for an effective shear stress that relates wave-induced erosion to linear flow induced erosion.

The fault was explicitly represented as a discrete feature and the surrounding rock was treated as a dual-continuum (fracture–matrix) system. Model calibration against seepage and water-travel-velocity data suggests that lithophysal cavities connected to fractures can considerably enhance the effective fracture porosity and therefore retard water flow in fractures. Comparisons between simulation results and tracer concentration data also indicate that matrix diffusion is an important mechanism for solute transport in unsaturated fractured rock. We found that an increased fault–matrix and fracture–matrix interface areas were needed to match the observed tracer data, which is consistent with previous studies. The study results suggest that the current site-scale model for the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain may underestimate radionuclide transport time within the unsaturated zone, because an increased fracture–matrix interface area and the increased effective fracture porosity arising from lithophysal cavities are not considered in the current site-scale model.

While the O flux is external to the crystal, the Ti flux necessary for growth comes from internal (bulk) interstitials (Phys. Rev. Lett. 76 (1996) 791). We address where the reaction between O and Ti to form new crystal takes place in the regime of pure step flow (i.e., surface steps advancing without new-layers nucleating). The detailed partitioning of the growth flux among individual surface steps is studied using low-energy electron microscopy for two geometries on the (110) surface—an array of islands on a terrace and an island stack generated from a dislocation source. For both geometries, the areas of islands larger than the critical size grow at rates strictly proportional to their perimeter length, independent of the local step configuration. In addition, we find that the growth rate is proportional to the O2 pressure. The step flow represents a simple limiting case of crystal growth (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A. 243 (1951) 299)—only the growth species near a step edge becomes incorporated into the crystal. That is, only Ti and O reactions near the step edge lead to crystal growth. This case is in marked contrast to crystal growth controlled by species attaching to terraces and diffusing to steps, for which the growth rates depend upon the local step environment. Indeed, simulating the island array as if the growth flux was partitioned among the individual islands by concentration gradients (i.e., diffusion-controlled growth) totally failed to reproduce the experimental rates.

The mean surface roughness,R a , of the various materials was analyzed by an optical profilometer. For PBX 9404 on stainless steel,μincreased from 0.22 at 25 °C to 0.34 at 95 °C, then decreased to about 0.23 at 125 °C. With aluminumμincreased from about 0.08 at 25 °C to 0.48 at 115 °C, then decreased slightly. Against PTFEμwas sigmoidal, increasing from about 0.3 at 25 °C to about at 0.49 above 115 °C. Against PBX 9404 itself,μaveraged 0.54 independent of temperature, but tended to increase during the measurement, probably because of adhesion of nitrocellulose to itself.

JO - Journal of Engineering Materials & Technology JF - Journal of Engineering Materials & Technology Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 126 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 465 EP - 473 SN - 00944289 AB - This paper examines the effects of laser peening on Alloy 22 (UNS N06022), which is the proposed material for use as the outer layer on the spent-fuel nuclear waste canisters to be stored at Yucca Mountain. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is a primary concern in the design of these canisters because tensile residual stresses will be left behind by the closure weld. Alloy 22 is a nickel-based material that is particularly resistant to corrosion; however; there is a chance that stress corrosion cracking could develop given the right environmental conditions. Laser peening is an emerging surface treatment technology that has been identified as an effective tool for mitigating tensile redisual stresses in the storage canisters. The results of laser-peening experiments on Alloy 22 base material and a sample 33 mm thick double-V groove butt-weld made with gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) are presented. Residual stress profiles were measured in Alloy 22 base material using the slitting method (also known as the crack-compliance method), and a full 2D map of longitudinal residual stress was measured in the sample welds using the contour method. Laser peening was found to produce compressive residual stress to a depth of 3.8 mm in 20 mm thick base material coupons. The depth of compressive residual stress was found to have a significant dependence on the number of peening layers and a slight dependence on the level of irradiance. Additionally, laser peening produced compressive residual stresses to a depth of 4.3 mm in the 33 mm thick weld at the center of the weld bead where high levels of tensile stress were initially present.

JO - Journal of Environmental Science & Health, Part A: Toxic/Hazardous Substances & Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Science & Health, Part A: Toxic/Hazardous Substances & Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 39 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2691 EP - 2705 SN - 10934529 AB - Nanophase materials have enhanced properties (thermal, mechanical, electrical, surface reactivity, etc.) not found in bulk materials. Intuitively, the enhancement of material properties could occur when the materials encounter biological specimens. Previous investigations of biological interactions with nanometer-scale materials have been very limited. With the ability to manipulate atoms and molecules, we now can create predefined nanostructures with unprecedented precision. In parallel with this development, improved understanding of the biological effects of the nanophase materials, whatever those may be, should also deserve attention. In this study, we have applied precision aerosol technology to investigate cellular response to nanoparticles. We used synthetic nanoparticles generated by an electrospray technique to produce nanoparticles in the size range of 8–13 nm with practically monodispersed aerosol particles and approximately the same number concentration. We report here on the potency of nano-metal particles with single or binary chemical components in eliciting interleukin-8 (IL-8) production from epithelial cell lines. For single-component nanoparticles, we found that nano-Cu particles were more potent in IL-8 production than nano-Ni and nano-V particles. However, the kinetics of IL-8 production by these three nanoparticles was different, the nano-Ni being the highest among the three. When sulfuric acid was introduced to form acidified nano-Ni particles, we found that the potency of such binary-component nanoparticles in eliciting IL-8 production was increased markedly, by about six times. However, the acidified binary nano-Na and -Mg nanoparticles did not exhibit the same effects as binary nano-Ni particles did. Since Ni, a transition metal, could induce free radicals on cell surfaces, while Na and Mg could not, the acidity might have enhanced the oxidative stress caused by radicals to the cells, leading to markedly higher IL-8 production. This result indicates the complexity of biological responses to nanoparticles. We believe that the exposure methodology and aerosol technology employed in our research will provide an effective means to systematically investigate cellular responses to nanoparticles, structured or unstructured, in ongoing research projects. Different cell lines, chemicals, and particle morphology can also be investigated using such a methodology.

JO - Journal of Heat Transfer JF - Journal of Heat Transfer Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 126 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 713 EP - 722 SN - 00221481 AB - This paper presents a complete two-dimensional (2D) thermofluid model for predicting the neck-down shape in the fiber drawing process. This model uses the controlled draw tension to calculate the Neumann boundary condition at the furnace exit; thus, it does not require specifying the speed (or diameter) of the fiber as most previous studies did. The model presented here can be applied to optimization of the high-speed draw process with large-diameter preforms. In this study, the radiative transfer equation is directly solved for the radiation fluxes using the discrete ordinate method coupled with the solution of the free surface flow, which does not assume that the glass is optically thick and does not neglect the glass absorption at the short-wavelength band. The artificial compressibility method is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. A staggered-grid computation scheme that is shown to be efficient and robust was used to reduce the computation load in solving the complete 2D model. The neck-down profile of a large preform (9 cm dia) drawn at a relatively high speed of 25 m/s was experimentally measured. The measured profile well matches that derived numerically. Results also show that the free surface calculated using the Dirichlet boundary condition deviates considerably from the measured profile, particularly near the furnace exit where the actual diameter (and, hence, the speed of the glass) is essentially unknown. Although the difference between the numerical results obtained from the full and semi-2D models was small, this difference could be significant if the location at which the glass converges to 125 µm dia is of interest, especially when the preform has a large diameter drawn at a high speed.

In this study, hourly grid-based NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar) Stage III radar precipitation data approximately at 4×4 km2 resolution are used to compute daily precipitation at spatial resolutions of 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 degree based on an area weighted average method. Soil parameters at the corresponding six spatial resolutions are derived from the State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) soil data. The forcing data of daily maximum and minimum temperature, wind speed, and vegetation parameters are disaggregated/aggregated directly to finer/coarser spatial resolutions based on the University of Washington (UW) data, which are gridded at 1/8 degree spatial resolution. Our study suggests that a critical spatial resolution for the VIC-3L model may exist for the study watershed. For spatial resolutions finer than the critical resolution, one does not necessarily obtain better model performance in terms of runoff, evapotranspiration, and total zone soil moisture with increasing spatial resolution if the VIC-3L model parameters are calibrated at each spatial resolution. Also, model parameters calibrated at a coarse resolution can be applied to finer resolutions to obtain generally comparable results. However, model parameters calibrated at finer resolutions cannot result in comparable results when applied to resolutions coarser than the identified critical resolution. In addition, while soil moisture of the total zone is more sensitive to the spatial distributions of soil properties, runoff and evaporation are more sensitive to the spatial distribution of daily precipitation at the watershed being studied.

SN - 00222461 AB - The thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, Young's Modulus, flexural strength, and brittle-plastic deformation transition temperature were determined for HfB2, HfC0.98, HfC0.67, and HfN0.92 ceramics. The mechanical behavior of αHf(N) solid solutions was also studied. The thermal conductivity of modified HfB2 exceeded that of the other materials by a factor of 5 at room temperature and by a factor of 2.5 at 820°C. The transition temperature of HfC exhibited a strong stoichiometry dependence, decreasing from 2200°C for HfC0.98 to 1100°C for HfC0.67 ceramics. The transition temperature of HfB2 was 1100°C. Pure HfB2 was found to have a strength of 340 MPa in 4 point bending, that was constant from room temperature to 1600°C, while a HfB2 + 10% HfCx had a higher room temperature bend strength of 440 MPa, but that dropped to 200 MPa at 1600°C. The data generated by this effort was inputted into finite element models to predict material response in internally heated nozzle tests. The theoretical model required accurate material properties, realistic thermal boundary conditions, transient heat transfer analysis, and a good understanding of the displacement constraints. The results of the modeling suggest that HfB2 should survive the high thermal stresses generated during the nozzle test primarily because of its superior thermal conductivity. The comparison the theoretical failure calculations to the observed response in actual test conditions show quite good agreement implying that the behavior of the design is well understood.

Pure palladium and copper membranes were also evaluated. The Pd–Cu alloys exhibited predictable permeances that reflected the crystalline phase structures as shown in the binary phase diagram. Under conditions of face-centered-cubic (fcc) stability, the permeance increased steadily with palladium content, approaching the permeance of pure palladium membranes. The 53 and 60 wt.% Pd alloys were evaluated at temperatures within the body-centered-cubic (bcc) stability region. For both alloys, the bcc permeance was several times greater than the fcc permeance with the 60 wt.% Pd bcc permeance at 623 K reaching about 70% of the permeance of palladium. These bcc alloys were subjected to temperature increases during testing that resulted in transition from bcc to fcc, followed by temperature decreases that should revert the alloys to bcc. The permeances dropped abruptly during the transition from bcc to fcc. However, on cooling back to the bcc stability region, neither the 60 nor 53 wt.% Pd alloy completely regained a bcc permeance during the test period. All of the Pd–Cu alloys subjected to testing at 1173 K showed some permeance decline that was attributed to intermetallic diffusion between the membrane and support. The application of a diffusion barrier between the support and membrane foil in a 53 wt.% Pd permeance test successfully blocked the intermetallic diffusion and prevented degredation of the membrane’s performance.

Sulfur resistance, as evidenced by no significant change in permeance, was correlated with the temperatures associated with the face-centered-cubic crystalline structure for the alloys in this study. The permeance of the body-centered cubic phase, however, was up to two orders of magnitude lower when exposed to H2S. A smooth transition from sulfur poisoning to sulfur resistance with increasing temperature was correlated with the alloy transition from a body-centered-cubic structure to a face-centered-cubic structure.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 108 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 8296 EP - 8306 SN - 10895639 AB - In this article we discuss the chemical kinetics of reversible association/dissociation reactions at great length. We find that, as long as the characteristic time for internal-energy relaxation is faster (not necessarily much faster) than that for chemical reaction, there will be a period of time, perhaps only late in the reaction but before equilibrium is reached, during which phenomenological rate laws will apply with rate coefficients that satisfy detailed balance. The nonequilibrium factor, fne, originally introduced by Smith, McEwan, and Gilbert (J. Chem. Phys. 1989, 90, 4265-4273) is not a measure of the degree to which detailed balance is satisfied by the association and dissociation rate coefficients. It is simply the fractional contribution to the “long-time” association rate coefficient, kadd, of the slowest-relaxing eigenmode of the system. That is, 1 - fne is the fractional contribution to the same rate coefficient of the internal-energy relaxation modes. The standard practice of taking the dissociation rate coefficient, kd, to be equal to that for irreversible dissociation is accurate as long as γ ≡ Keqnm(1 - fne) ≪ 1, where Keq is the equilibrium constant for the association reaction, and nm is the concentration of the excess reactant under pseudo first-order conditions for the association reaction. Both rate coefficients, kadd and kd, show a very weak composition dependence, i.e., dependence on nm.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 108 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 8317 EP - 8323 SN - 10895639 AB - The reflected shock tube technique with multipass absorption spectrometric detection has been used to study the reactions of OH radicals: (1) OH + CH3 → 1CH2 + H2O, (2) OH + 3CH2 → CH2O + H, and the thermal dissociation of methanol, (3) CH3OH → CH3 + OH. (1) has never been studied above 1000 K, (2) has never been studied, and (3) has been studied but with conflicting results. Depending on conditions, all three reactions can be important in combustion systems, and this realization supplies the motivation for the present study. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, methanol, and methyl iodide were used as pyrolytic precursors of hydroxyl and methyl radicals. Methylene was produced by the pyrolysis of ketene. The experiments were performed in single-shot experiments with low initial concentrations of hydroxyl radicals, [OH]0 = (4.5-130) × 1012 molecules cm-3. [OH]t was measured with resonance absorption around 308 nm. The measured rate constants are k1 = 1.74 × 10-11 exp(915 K/T) (834-2383 K), k2 = (2.6 ± 1.6) × 10-11 (1841-2324 K), and k3 = 4.39 × 10-8 exp(-31 938 K/T), all in cm3 molecule-1 s-1. In addition, the yield of OH radicals in the pyrolysis of methanol was determined, 0.94 ± 0.09 (1841-2309 K). Where possible, these results are compared to earlier data and estimates. Existing theory is also reviewed and compared to the present results.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 108 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 15662 EP - 15670 SN - 15206106 AB - The destruction of S-containing molecules is a very important issue in the chemical industry and the control of environmental pollution. The desulfurization of sulfur dioxide and thiophene on molybdenum carbide surfaces, α-Mo2C(001) and δ-MoC(001), and on a Mo8C12 nanoparticle was studied with density functional theory. Our study reveals unexpected ligand and steric effects. The Mo8C12 nanoparticle behaves as actively as α-Mo2C(001) toward SO2 despite the high C/Mo ratio and C2 groups. In contrast, SO2 bonds weakly with δ-MoC(001). Spontaneous S-O bond cleavage was observed on both Mo8C12 and α-Mo2C(001). Contrary to common assumptions, the C atoms are not simple spectators and play a key role in the energetics for the dissociation of SO2. In the case of thiophene adsorption, only α-Mo2C(001) exhibits a high chemical activity that leads to a spontaneous S-C bond cleavage. The interaction of thiophene with both δ-MoC(001) and Mo8C12 is weak. On the nanoparticle, steric repulsion between the C2 groups and thiophene overcomes the high reactivity of the Mo atoms in corner or edge sites. Our results illustrate the interplay of ligand and steric effects in nanoparticles of metal compounds.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 108 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 15782 EP - 15790 SN - 15206106 AB - The effect of synthesis and reaction conditions on the structure and activity of Au clusters supported on nanocrystalline and mesoporous TiO2 was investigated. X-ray absorption spectroscopy was applied to correlate the particle size and the oxidation state with several parameters, such as pH of the precursor solution, Au loading, pretreatment, and support structure. The study using mesoporous TiO2 as the support shows that lower Au loadings resulted in bigger Au aggregates with lower reducibility. The high activity state for Au supported in different allotropic forms of TiO2 corresponds to Au in a fully reduced state. Furthermore, once reduced, no reoxidation occurs under reaction conditions, even after flowing air at higher temperatures (150 and 300 °C). Therefore, our results indicate that oxidized Au is not necessary for high activity. The activity decreased with particle growth, and, compared to the other allotropic TiO2, Au on brookite exhibited no significant particle agglomeration and was the most active catalyst after treatment at 300 °C.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 108 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 15865 EP - 15872 SN - 15206106 AB - We present a combination of classical and first principles molecular dynamics simulations of hydrophobic hydration structure. Our results show that water molecules surrounding two small hydrophobic solutes are oriented in a similar fashion, and that the driving force for this orientation is the water-water interaction rather than the water-solute interaction. In contrast, the spatial distribution of water around the hydrophobic solute is strongly influenced by the solute, and the driving force for the observed distribution is largely a steric effect. In addition to the size and structure of the solute, we find that the spatial distribution of water is sensitive to pressure. Using quantum simulations as a benchmark for classical potentials, we evaluate the accuracy of several empirical based models in predicting detailed information regarding the structure of water around small hydrophobic solutes. Our results demonstrate that the radial and spatial distribution of water molecules around different solutes obtained classically and quantum mechanically agree rather well, indicating that classical potentials are well suited for examining these properties related to hydrophobic hydration structure. However, we do find that properties such as the angular distribution of water and hydrogen bond ring statistics agree to a lesser extent and depend strongly on the classical potential employed.

The effort has several challenging goals. Some of the development goals include an activated life of at least one hour, four voltage sections, and the ability to sustain significant pulse loads at the end of life. In order to meet these goals, advanced materials were chosen for development. The thermal battery chemistry developed consists of lithium–silicon anodes, low-melting eutectic electrolyte/separators, and cobalt disulfide cathodes. Besides evolving the electrochemistry for this battery, there are several other design challenges such as fine-tuning the heat balance so as to allow the battery to sustain the extended duration discharge. In addition, to minimize volume, the battery can is configured in a tapered shape and consequently requires a tapered Min-K™ sleeve for insulation. A new igniter design is also being used. Finally, extremely narrow voltage ranges for each of the four voltage taps have contributed to the challenges facing development engineers. This paper includes a summary of the battery design and presents test data from pre-prototype units.

The cell dimensions were ∼2 cm long, ∼1.5 cm wide and ∼15 μm thick. The rated capacity of the cells was about 400 μAh. The cells were cycled (charge/discharge) at room temperature over 100 times at a 0.25C rate. The charge and discharge cut-off voltages were 4.2 and 3.0 V, respectively. The cells did not show any capacity decay over 100 cycles. The measured capacity was 400 μAh. The coulombic efficiency was 1, which suggests that the cell reaction is free from any parasitic side reactions and the lithium intercalation and de-intercalation reaction is completely and totally reversible. These cells also have good high-rate performance at room temperature. For example, these cells discharged at a 2.5C rate delivered ∼90% of the capacity at a 0.25C rate. However, the delivered capacities even at a 0.25C rate at 80 and -50 °C were much lower than the room temperature capacity. Cells soaked at -50 °C were not damaged permanently as seen by the near normal behavior when returned to room temperature. However, cells heated to 80 °C were permanently damaged as seen by the lack of normal performance back at room temperature. Cell impedance was measured before and after cycling at different temperatures. The high-frequency resistance (generally ascribed to the electrolyte and other resistances in series with the electrolyte resistance) decreased with decreasing temperature. However, the interfacial resistance increased significantly with decreasing temperature. Further, the electrolyte resistance accounted for ∼2% of the total cell resistance. The cycled cells showed higher impedance than the uncycled cells.

In contrast to other recently investigated representatives of the fresnoite family of compounds, Rb2V3O8 is not incommensurately modulated with an incommensurate basal plane primary modulation wave vector given by q∼0.3 〈110〉*. A careful low-temperature electron diffraction study has, however, revealed the existence of weak incommensurate satellite reflections characterized by the primitive primary modulation wave vector q1∼0.16c*. The reciprocal space positioning of these incommensurate satellite reflections, the overall (3+1)-d superspace group symmetry, as well as the shapes of the refined displacement ellipsoids determined from single-crystal XRD refinement, are all consistent with their arising from a distinct type of condensed rigid unit modes (RUMs) of distortion of the Rb2V3O8 parent structure.

Its structure can be formally derived from the hexagonal AlB2-structure type by a strong puckering of the hexagonal layers. The chemical bonding in EuGe2 can be rationalized according to the Zintl concept as (Eu2+)(Ge1-)2, since the europium atoms are divalent and each germanium atom receives one additional valence electron. In that sense, EuGe2 is expected to be a closed-shell compound with semiconducting behavior. However, temperature dependent resistivity measurements show EuGe2 to be metallic. Subsequently, detailed crystallographic studies revealed the structure and the composition of EuGe2 to be free of defects and impurities, which, along with the confirmed divalent oxidation state of the europium atoms by means of magnetic measurements, make EuGe2 another example of a metallic Zintl phase. These results are in good agreement with the results of electronic structure calculations such as TB-LMTO-ASA (LDA) and FLAPW (GGA), which reveal non-zero DOS at the Fermi level.

YckF forms a tight tetramer both in crystals and in solution. Conservation of such oligomerization in other phosphate sugar isomerases indicates that the crystallographically observed tetramer is physiologically relevant. The structure of YckF was compared to with its ortholog from Methanococcus jannaschii, MJ1247. Both of these proteins have phosphate hexulose isomerase activity, although neither of the organisms can utilize methane or methanol as source of energy and/or carbon. Extensive sequence and structural similarities with MJ1247 and with the isomerase domain of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase from Escherichia coli allowed us to group residues contributing to substrate binding or catalysis. Few notable differences among these structures suggest possible cooperativity of the four active sites of the tetramer. Phylogenetic relationships between obligatory and facultative methylotrophs along with B. subtilis and E. coli provide clues about the possible evolution of genes as they loose their physiological importance.

Sci. Instrum. 73, 1332-1336 (2002)] for aerosol concentration applications. The concentrators are constructed from single PZT tubes driven at or near the breathing mode resonance. Acoustic concentration of aerosols is performed within the tube cavity. It has been found that slight modifications to the cylindrical cavity geometry can significantly increase the collection efficiency and assist in precise particle positioning. This paper analyzes the theoretical framework for the acoustic concentration of particles in these devices for various geometrical perturbations. The cavity geometries studied are (1) hollow cylindrical piezoelectric tube, (2) hollow piezoelectric tube with an inner concentric solid cylinder insert, (3) a hollow piezoelectric tube with a concentric elliptic insert which breaks the circular-cylindrical symmetry, and (4) a hollow elliptic cylindrical piezoelectric tube. It is shown that breaking the circular symmetry within the cavity localizes the particles in small spatial regions within the cavity. This localization of particles may be very useful in applications requiring aerosol collection or particle stream positioning.

At successive angular locations at a fixed radius, the transducer launches a primary field and collects the backscattered field in a "pitch/catch" operation. The hardware configuration, operating mode, and data collection method are identical to that of most medical intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) systems. IVUS systems form images of the medium surrounding the probe based upon ultrasonic B scans, using a straight-ray model of sound propagation. The goal of this research is to develop a wave-based imaging algorithm using diffraction tomography techniques. Given the hardware configuration and the imaging method, this system is referred to as "radial reflection diffraction tomography." Two hardware configurations are considered: a multimonostatic mode using a single transducer as described above, and a multistatic mode consisting of a single transmitter and an aperture formed by multiple receivers. In this latter case, the entire source/receiver aperture rotates about the fixed radius. Practically, such a probe is mounted at the end of a catheter or snaking tube that can be inserted into a part or medium with the goal of forming images of the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. An analytic expression for the multimonostatic inverse is derived, but ultimately the new Hilbert space inverse wave (HSIW) algorithm is used to construct images using both operating modes. Applications include improved IVUS imaging, bore hole tomography, and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of parts with existing access holes.

To provide a technical basis to permit the waste treatment facility, a relatively organic-rich Hanford Tank 241-AN-107 waste simulant was spiked with 14 target volatile, semi-volatile, and pesticide compounds and evaporated under vacuum in a bench-scale natural circulation evaporator fitted with an industrial stack off-gas sampler at the Savannah River National Laboratory. An evaporator material balance for the target organics was calculated by combining liquid stream mass and analytical data with off-gas emissions estimates obtained using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SW-846 Methods. Volatile and light semi-volatile organic compounds (< 220 ° C BP, >1 mm Hg vapor pressure) in the waste simulant were found to largely exit through the condenser vent, while heavier semi-volatiles and pesticides generally remain in the evaporator concentrate. An OLI Environmental Simulation Program (licensed by OLI Systems, Inc.) evaporator model successfully predicted operating conditions and the experimental distribution of the fed target organics exiting in the concentrate, condensate, and off-gas streams, with the exception of a few semi-volatile and pesticide compounds. Comparison with Henry's Law predictions suggests the OLI Environmental Simulation Program model is constrained by available literature data.

However, during operations at high temperatures, the growth of oxide scales causes the performance of the interconnect and SOFC as a whole to deteriorate. The coating of SS 446 with a conducting perovskite is a potential method of slowing the growth of oxide scale and, therefore, improving overall SOFC performance. In the present research, the structural characterization of a pure LaCrO3 thin film on the SS 446 substrates has been performed as a model material that can be used as a barrier coating for the metallic interconnect. The deposition of an amorphous La-Cr-O thin film on SS 446 was performed using radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering. The deposited amorphous film was annealed in air to form the desired perovskite phase. The film underwent an amorphous to LaCrO4 phase transition during annealing at 500°C with further transformation to LaCrO3 orthorhombic phase during annealing at 700°C. A self-organized dendritic structure was reported as a result of the perovskite-phase formation. Although formation of various oxides, such as Fe2O3 and Fe3O4, was observed during the annealing of uncoated SS 446 in air, the coating of SS 446 surface with LaCrO3 film prevented formation of various oxide phases at the interconnect surface. The structural characterization of the films and SS 446 surfaces was accomplished using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffractometry, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and nanoindentation.

The experiments confirmed the expected increase of MS sensitivities as the ESI flow rate decreases. However, different compounds show somewhat different mass spectral peak intensities even at the lowest flow rates, at the same concentration and electrospray operating conditions. MS response for each compound solution shows good linearity at lower concentrations and levels off at high concentration, consistent with analyte “saturation” in the ESI process. The extent of charge competition leading to saturation in the ESI process is consistent with the relative magnitude of excess charge in the electrospray compared to the total number of analyte molecules in the solution. This ESI capacity model allows one to predict the sample concentration limits for charge competition and the on-set of ionization suppression effects, as well as the linear dynamic range for ESI-MS. The implications for quantitative MS analysis and possibilities for effectively extending the dynamic range of ESI measurements are discussed.

The separation is based on differences between ion mobilities at high and low electric fields, and proceeds at atmospheric pressure. Two major advantages of FAIMS over condensed-phase separations are its high speed and an ion focusing effect that often improves sensitivity. While selected aspects of FAIMS performance are understood empirically, no physical model rationalizing the resolving power and sensitivity of the method and revealing their dependence on instrumental variables has existed. Here we present a first-principles computational treatment capable of simulating the FAIMS analyzer for virtually any geometry (including the known cylindrical and planar designs) and arbitrary operational parameters. The approach involves propagating an ensemble of ion trajectories through the device in real time under the influence of applied asymmetric potential, diffusional motion incorporating the high-field and anisotropic phenomena, and mutual Coulomb repulsion of ionic charges. Calculations for both resolution and sensitivity are validated by excellent agreement with measurements in different FAIMS modes for ions representing diverse types and analyte classes.

Biodegradation, photolysis, and any other process that can be modeled using a first-order decay constant can be included as well. HYTRAS originally modeled the transport of radionuclides and has recently been expanded to include transport of chemicals. The transport of chemicals has been validated using data from an accidental release of the chemicals disulfoton and thiometon into the Rhine River in 1986. For these chemicals, sorption is not an important process. For the range of measured flow velocities, HYTRAS was found to bound the peak arrival times. For the range of measured degradation rates, HYTRAS was found to bound the peak concentrations within 400 km of the source and bound the peak concentrations within a factor of two out to 700 km.

An uneven distribution of the crystallized BaTiO3 particles was observed: more than 99 wt.% of total BaTiO3 particles remained where the precursor TiO2 was put; less than 1 wt.% was collected from the areas away from the TiO2. According to the experimental observations in this work and proofs reported in the literature, we propose that the crystallization mechanism is dissolution–precipitation in nature, but the soluble Ti4+ species can only redisperse in a short distance away from TiO2 particles before precipitation. In other words, the nucleation of hydrothermal BaTiO3 starts at a low concentration of Ti4+. The mechanism of the Ba(OH)2–Ti(OH)4 reaction is a fast dehydration process.

SN - 13886150 AB - All started with the invention of differential thermal analysis, DTA at the beginning of the 20th century. The tool was qualitative in the measurement of heat, but quantitative in measuring temperature. The differential scanning calorimetry, DSC, became popular in the 1970s. In certain temperature regions, it could replace even the more precise, but cumbersome, classical technique of adiabatic calorimetry. A large volume of quantitative thermodynamic information was accumulated. Both equilibrium and non-equilibrium data were collected. Unfortunately, the qualitative applications of the DSC grew even faster and overshadowed the quantitative capabilities of measurement of heat. The newer temperature-modulated DSC, TMDSC, makes use of the same instrumentation and seems to follow the same fate, despite the fact, that it can distinguish equilibrium from non-equilibrium, a key information needed in the thermodynamic description of materials. Seeing the growth of these efficient techniques, one could conclude that all questions one might have wanted to ask in 1900 can be answered now. A new question, however, has become important in the 21st century: What happens at the nanophase level and in the description of very fast processes? Are we able to learn from the past, or are we again to stay at the level of qualitative DTA?

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 78 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 10566 EP - 10573 SN - 0022538X AB - The meaning of viral blips in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients treated with seemingly effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is still controversial and under investigation. Blips might represent low-level ongoing viral replication in the presence of drug or simply release of virions from the latent reservoir. Patients treated early during HIV-1 infection are more likely to have a lower total body viral burden, a homogenous viral population, and preserved HIV-1-specific immune responses. Consequently, viral blips may be less frequent in them than in patients treated during chronic infection. To test this hypothesis, we compared the occurrence of viral blips in 76 acutely infected patients (primary HIV infection [PHI] group) who started therapy within 6 months of the onset of symptoms with that in 47 patients who started HAART therapy during chronic infection (chronic HIV infection [CHI] group). Viral blip frequency was approximately twofold higher in CHI patients (0.122 ± 0.12/viral load [VL] sample, mean ± standard deviation) than in PHI patients (0.066 ± 0.09/VL sample). However, in both groups, viral blip frequency did not increase with longer periods of observation. Also, no difference in viral blip frequency was observed between treatment subgroups, and the occurrence of a blip was not associated with a recent change in CD4+ T-cell count. Finally, in PHI patients the VL set point was a significant predictor of blip frequency during treatment.

SN - 09388990 AB - The interaction between two genes,AgoutiandMelanocortin-1receptor(Mc1r), produces diverse pigment patterns in mammals by regulating the type, amount, and distribution pattern of the two pigment types found in mammalian hair: eumelanin (brown/black) and pheomelanin (yellow/red). In domestic dogs (Canis familiaris), there is a tremendous variation in coat color patterns between and within breeds; however, previous studies suggest that the molecular genetics of pigment-type switching in dogs may differ from that of other mammals. Here we report the identification and characterization of theAgoutigene from domestic dogs, predicted to encode a 131-amino-acid secreted protein 98% identical to the fox homolog, and which maps to chromosome CFA24 in a region of conserved linkage. Comparative analysis of the Doberman PinscherAgouticDNA, the fox cDNA, and 180 kb of Doberman Pinscher genomic DNA suggests that, as with laboratory mice, different pigment-type-switching patterns in the canine family are controlled by alternative usage of different promoters and untranslated first exons. A small survey of Labrador Retrievers, Greyhounds, Australian Shepherds, and German Shepherd Dogs did not uncover any polymorphisms, but we identified a single nucleotide variant in black German Shepherd Dogs predicted to cause an Arg-to-Cys substitution at codon 96, which is likely to account for recessive inheritance of a uniform black coat.

Even if major technology improvements are achieved for non-carbon-emitting technologies such as energy-intensity improvements, wind, solar, biomass, and nuclear over the course of the 21st century, most examinations of potential future greenhouse emissions conclude that additional technology development will be required to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. The development of an expanded suite of technologies including carbon capture and disposal, hydrogen systems and biotechnology hold the potential to dramatically reduce the cost of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations. This paper examines these technologies in the context of a global integrated assessment model of energy, agriculture, land-use, economics, and carbon cycle processes.

Analysis of 11,946 aligned nucleotide positions (5797 informative) produces a robust phylogenetic hypothesis. The family Rhineuridae is basal and Bipedidae is the sister taxon to the Amphisbaenidae plus Trogonophidae. Amphisbaenian reptiles are surprisingly old, predating the breakup of Pangaea 200 million years before present, because successive basal taxa (Rhineuridae and Bipedidae) are situated in tectonic regions of Laurasia and nested taxa (Amphisbaenidae and Trogonophidae) are found in Gondwanan regions. Thorough sampling within the Bipedidae shows that it is not tectonic movement of Baja California away from the Mexican mainland that is primary in isolating Bipes species, but rather that primary vicariance occurred between northern and southern groups. Amphisbaenian families show parallel reduction in number of limbs and Bipes species exhibit parallel reduction in number of digits. A measure is developed for comparing the phylogenetic information content of various genes. A synapomorphic trait defining the Bipedidae is a shift from the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement to the derived state of trnE and nad6. In addition, a tandem duplication of trnT and trnP is observed in Bipes biporus with a pattern of pseudogene formation that varies among populations. The first case of convergent rearrangement of the mitochondrial genome among animals demonstrated by complete genomic sequences is reported. Relative to most vertebrates, the Rhineuridae has the block nad6, trnE switched in order with the block cob, trnT, trnP, as they are in birds.

The Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 7319, the brightest member of the compact group, is seen to have a triple radio structure typical of many extra-galactic radio sources that have a flat spectrum core and two sleep spectrum lobes with hot spots. The two lobes are asymmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the core along the minor axis of the galaxy. Ultraviolet (UV) emission revealed in a high-resolution channel (HRC)/ACS Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image is strongly aligned with the radio plasma and we interpret the intense star formation in the core and north lobe as an event induced by the collision of the north radio jet with over-dense ambient material. In addition, a remapping of archive Very Large Array (VLA) L-band observations reveals more extended emission along the major axis of the galaxy, which is aligned with the optical axis. Images formed from the combined MERLIN and archive VLA data reveal more detailed structure of the two lobes and hot spots.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 4 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1815 EP - 1819 SN - 15306984 AB - A simple photocatalytic hydrogen-evolving system is reported based on intermolecular electron transfer using isolated Photosystem I (PSI) reaction centers as the photoactive element. The system is composed of platinized PSI covalently linked to plastocyanin (PC). Water-soluble sodium ascorbate is the electron donor. PC was attached to PSI by formation of peptide bonds with the cross-linking reagent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride. Compared to the unlinked proteins, cross-linking of PC and PSI resulted in a substantial increase in light-driven reduction of hexachloroplatinate ions (PtCl62- + 4e- → Pt↓ + 6Cl-). Hydrogen photoevolution by cross-linked PC-platinized PSI was increased 3-fold both in initial rate and total yield. Analysis of the reaction indicates that covalent linkage of PC to PSI results in a greater rate of total electron throughput from sodium ascorbate to light-activated hydrogen evolution. In addition, although photocatalytic hydrogen-evolving activity was easily demonstrated in the cross-linked system, the native pathway of electron flow yielding enzymatic NADP+ reduction activity was not observed upon addition of the natural PSI electron-accepting system, ferredoxin plus ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 4 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1827 EP - 1832 SN - 15306984 AB - One of the biggest challenges in cell biology is the imaging of living cells. For this purpose, the most commonly used visualization tool is fluorescent markers. However, conventional labels, such as organic fluorescent dyes or green fluorescent proteins (GFP), lack the photostability to allow the tracking of cellular events that happen over a period from minutes to days. In addition, they are either toxic to cells (dyes) or difficult to construct and manipulate (GFP). We report here the use of a new class of fluorescent labels, silanized CdSe/ZnS nanocrystal-peptide conjugates, for imaging the nuclei of living cells. CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals, or so-called quantum dots (qdots), are extremely photostable, and have been used extensively in cellular imaging of fixed cells. Most of the studies about living cells so far have been concerned only with particle entry into the cytoplasm or the localization of receptors on the cell membrane. Specific targeting of qdots to the nucleus of living cells has not been reported in previous studies, due to the lack of a targeting mechanism and proper particle size. Here we demonstrate for the first time the construction of a CdSe/ZnS nanocrystal-peptide conjugate that carries the SV40 large T antigen nuclear localization signal (NLS) and the transfection of the complex into living cells. By a novel adaptation for qdots of a commonly used cell transfection technique, we were able to introduce and retain the NLS-qdots conjugate in living cells for up to a week without detectable negative cellular effects. Moreover, we can visualize the movement of the CdSe/ZnS nanocrystal-peptide conjugates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, as well as the accumulation of the complex in the cell nucleus, over a long observation time period. This report opens the door for using qdots to visualize long-term biological events that happen in the cell nucleus and provides a new nontoxic, long-term imaging platform for observing nuclear trafficking mechanisms and cell nuclear processes.

When a protein crystal is exposed to an X-ray beam, X-rays scatter off the electrons of each atom in the crystal, producing a complex diffraction pattern of spots. Reconstructing the atomic structure of the protein from the diffraction pattern can be challenging. Although the diffraction data captures the positions and intensities of the diffracted X-rays, information about their phases is lost. In the case of scattered visible radiation, images of objects can be reconstructed by the use of lenses,as in the human eye, but no lenses exist for X-rays, and the phases of the scattered rays must be estimated computationally.

For example, ultralong nanotubes can be spun into fibres that are more than an order of magnitude stronger than any current structural material, allowing revolutionary advances in lightweight, high-strength applications. Long metallic nanotubes will enable new types of micro-electromechanical systems such as micro-electric motors, and can also act as a nanoconducting cable for wiring micro-electronic devices. Here we report the synthesis of 4-cm-long individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at a high growth rate of 11 μm s−1 by catalytic chemical vapour deposition. Our results suggest the possibility of growing SWNTs continuously without any apparent length limitation.

JO - Nature Materials JF - Nature Materials Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 3 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 682 EP - 686 SN - 14761122 AB - Grain boundaries play a vital role in determining materials behaviour, and the nature of these intercrystalline interfaces is dictated by chemical composition, processing history, and geometry (misorientation and inclination). The interrelation among these variables and material properties may be systematically studied in bicrystals. Conventional bicrystal fabrication offers control over these variables, but its ability to mimic grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials is ambiguous. Here we describe a novel solid-state process for rapidly generating intercrystalline interfaces with controlled geometry and chemistry, applicable to a broad range of materials. A fine-grained polycrystalline layer, contacted by two appropriately misoriented single-crystal seeds, is consumed by an epitaxial solid-state transformation until the directed growth fronts impinge. The seed misorientations establish the geometry of the resulting intercrystalline boundaries, and the composition of the sacrificial polycrystalline layer establishes the chemistry of the boundaries and their adjacent grains. Results from a challenging model system, titanium-doped sapphire, illustrate the viability of the directed assembly technique for preparing high-quality bicrystals in both twist and tilt configurations.

How do enzymes within a particular UBL. conjugation cascade interact with each other? We report here that the unique N-terminal sequence of NEDD8's E2, Ubc12, selectively recruits NEDD8's El to promote thioester formation between Ubc12 and NEDD8. A peptide corresponding to Ubcl2's N terminus (Ubcl2N2b) specifically binds and inhibits NEDD8's El, the heterodimeric APPBP1-UBA3 complex. The structure of APPBP1-UBA3- Ubcl2N2b reveals conserved Ubcl2 residues docking in a groove generated by loops conserved in UBA3s but not other Els. These data explain why the Ubcl2-UBA3 interaction is unique to the NEDD8 pathway. These studies define a novel mechanism for El–E2 interaction and show how enzymes within a particular UBL. conjugation cascade can be tethered together by unique protein-protein interactions emanating from their common structural scaffolds.

A feature extraction method utilising a gradient threshold search function and a feed forward neural network for pattern recognition were used to develop the system. Impact damaged carbon composite sample plates were scanned with an eddy current-based NDE setup using HTS SQUID gradiometers and double-D excitation coils. Detection of damage sites in data affected by noise spikes caused by environmental disturbances is demonstrated. Finally, a possible design for a future entirely automated scanning system is also introduced.

Linkage disequilibrium for MXC3 was confined to two closely linked regions spanning 34 and 16 kb, respectively. The MXC3 region also contained six disease-resistance candidate genes. • The MER and MXC3 loci are clearly distinct, and may have different mechanisms of resistance, as different classes of putative resistance genes were present near each locus. The suppressed recombination previously observed in the MXC3 region was possibly caused by extensive hemizygous rearrangements confined to the original parent tree. The relatively low observed LD may facilitate association studies using candidate genes for rust resistance, but will probably inhibit marker-aided selection.

This report describes several background sources, observed in the experiment or anticipated from simulations, which will need to be suppressed in this and in similar detectors that are planned at other facilities. First successes are documented in the suppression of background from scattered neutrons captured in the detector as well as from the internal radiation. Experimental results and simulations using the GEANT code are compared.

JO - Oecologia JF - Oecologia Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 141 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 281 SN - 00298549 AB - In dryland ecosystems, the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses drive many key ecological processes, notably soil water availability for plants and soil microbiota. Plant available water has frequently been viewed simply as incoming precipitation, yet processes at larger scales drive precipitation pulses, and the subsequent transformation of precipitation pulses to plant available water are complex. We provide an overview of the factors that influence the spatial and temporal availability of water to plants and soil biota using examples from western USA drylands. Large spatial- and temporal-scale drivers of regional precipitation patterns include the position of the jet streams and frontal boundaries, the North American Monsoon, El Niño Southern Oscillation events, and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Topography and orography modify the patterns set up by the larger-scale drivers, resulting in regional patterns (102-106 km2) of precipitation magnitude, timing, and variation. Together, the large-scale and regional drivers impose important pulsed patterns on long-term precipitation trends at landscape scales, in which most site precipitation is received as small events (<5 mm) and with most of the intervals between events being short (<10 days). The drivers also influence the translation of precipitation events into available water via linkages between soil water content and components of the water budget, including interception, infiltration and runoff, soil evaporation, plant water use and hydraulic redistribution, and seepage below the rooting zone. Soil water content varies not only vertically with depth but also horizontally beneath versus between plants and/or soil crusts in ways that are ecologically important to different plant and crust types. We highlight the importance of considering larger-scale drivers, and their effects on regional patterns; small, frequent precipitation events; and spatio-temporal heterogeneity in soil water content in translating from climatology to precipitation pulses to the dryland ecohydrology of water availability for plants and soil biota.

The luminescence spectra at 613 nm (5D0 → 7F2) and lifetime of the excited state of Eu3+ ions doped Zn2SiO4 nanocrystals are also found to be sensitive to the concentration (0.25–2.5 mol%) of ions. In case of 1000 °C annealed sample (0.25 mol% Eu3+) showed the single component decay of 2.02 ms. However, with increasing the concentration the decay is biexponential. We attribute this to an inter-ion exchange interaction wherein the more rapid decay is due to pair or cluster formation and the longer-lived emission originates from isolated ions within the insulating host.

The elastic properties of both phases are very similar although they are structurally not related. Contrary to the assumption often found in quasicrystal literature, the similarity of particular physical properties is not necessarily an indication for structural similarity. Further, a first-order phase transition at about 111 K has been observed in h-Cd51Yb14 as indicated by a reversible discontinuity in the thermal expansion.

Helium, beryllium, boron, and carbon light charged particles (LCPs) emitted with kinetic energy more than 9, 21, 26, and 32 MeV, respectively, were identified. The 3368-keV γ transition from the first 2+ excited state in 10Be was found and the population probability ratio N(2+)/N(0+) = 0.160 ± 0.025 was estimated. No evidence was found for 3368-keV γ rays emitted from a triple molecular state. For the first time, charge distributions are obtained for ternary fission fragments emitted with helium, beryllium, and carbon LCPs.© 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

SN - 10637788 AB - The difference of the cross sections for double charged-pion production in the scattering of opposite-helicity electrons on an unpolarized proton is evaluated within the phenomenological model developed previously. The electromagnetic nucleon-resonance form factors and the parameters of nonresonance processes were taken from a fit to the latest data of the CLAS Collaboration on double charged-pion electroproduction. The effect of the longitudinal excitations of the P11(1440) and D13(1520) states on the difference of the helicity components of the cross section is studied. The sensitivity of this observable to the nucleon-resonance contribution opens the possibility of employing it both in extracting the Coulomb form factors and in seeking new baryon states. Signals from one of these states were possibly observed in the latest data of the CLAS Collaboration.© 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

The foil implosion is compared to a 300-wire-array implosion with the same material and the same diameter, height, and total mass. Though both the foil and the array produced comparable x-ray yields, the array’s radiation burst was twice as powerful and half as long as the foil’s. These data along with x-ray backlighting images and inductance measurements suggest that the foil implosion was more unstable than the wire-array implosion.

This effect is demonstrated for nine different refractory and nonrefractory metals. The strongest influence of current rate was demonstrated for tungsten wires. Increasing the current rate from 20 to 150 A/ns changes the wire core from a solid to a cluster-like state. For nonrefractory metals such as Ag, Al, Cu, and Au, fast explosion allows deposition inside a metal core 1.5–2.9 times the atomization enthalpy before voltage breakdown. The slow explosion, with 20 A/ns, gives 2–3 times less energy deposition before voltage breakdown than the fast-explosion mode. The current-rate effect is important for optimization of wire ablation, reduction of the mass left behind in the wire-array load, and final x-ray yield in modern multi-MA wire-array Z-pinch facilities.

Numerical modeling of electron Bernstein wave current drive (EBWCD) for a β∼40% ST plasma predicts efficient, off-axis, Ohkawa EBWCD. Current can be efficiently driven at r/a>0.5 where the large trapped electron fraction precludes conventional Fisch-Boozer current drive and provides favorable conditions for Ohkawa EBWCD. Calculated normalized current drive efficiency increases with r/a and is a factor of 2 higher at r/a=0.7 than has been obtained with electron cyclotron current drive near the axis of large aspect ratio tokamaks.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 11 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4740 EP - 4752 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - The ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability of a cylindrical screw pinch (i.e., a current-carrying plasma column embedded into an external axial magnetic field) has been considered in the past in great detail. However, the majority of these studies pertain, in fact, to an infinitely long pinch, where the axial eigenmodes can be represented as exp(ikz). The finite length is then accounted for by assigning a specific value to k, k=2π/L, with L being the distance between the electrodes; in this way, one recovers the familiar Kruskal–Shafranov (KS) stability condition. In the present paper it is emphasized that the solution of the exp(ikz) type cannot satisfy the boundary conditions at the conducting end plates. Previous papers on this subject are reviewed. An effective technique that allows one to analytically obtain stability criteria in the long-thin approximation is developed. Even in this (“long-thin”) case substantial deviations from the KS condition are found. In the general case, a convenient representation is obtained for the Green’s functions that express perturbations both inside and outside the plasma in terms of the radial displacement of the plasma boundary.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 11 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4753 EP - 4760 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Two-and-a-half-dimensional particle-in-cell plasma simulations are used to study the particle energization in expanding magnetized electron-positron plasmas with slab geometry. When the magnetized relativistic plasma with high temperature (electron and positron temperature are kBTe=kBTp=5 MeV) is expanding into a vacuum, the electromagnetic (EM) pulse with large amplitude is formed and the surface plasma particles are efficiently accelerated in the forward direction owing to the energy conversion from the EM field to the plasma particles. The behavior of the diamagnetic relativistic pulse accelerator depends strongly on the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the cyclotron frequency ωpe/Ωe and the initial plasma thickness. In the high ωpe/Ωe case, the EM pulse is rapidly damped and the plasma diffuses uniformly without forming density peaks because the initial thermal energy of the plasma is much larger than the field energy. On the contrary, in the low ωpe/Ωe case, the field energy becomes large enough to energize all the plasma particles, which are confined in the EM pulse and efficiently accelerated to ultrarelativistic energies. It is also found that a thicker initial plasma increases the maximum energy of the accelerated particles.

For large aspect ratio the stabilizing effect increases (reduces) the β(=2P/B2) threshold for the first (second) stability of the kinetic ballooning mode (KBM) from the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) β threshold value by a factor proportional to the trapped electron density fraction. For small aspect ratio the stabilizing effect can greatly increase the β threshold of the first stability of KBMs from the MHD β threshold by Sc≃1+(ne/neu)δ, where ne/neu is the ratio of the total electron density to the untrapped electron density, and δ depends on the trapped electron dynamics and finite gyroradii and magnetic drift motion of ions. If ne/neu>1 as in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) [M. Ono, Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)] with an aspect ratio of ≃1.4, the KBM should be stable for β≤1 for finite magnetic shear. Therefore, unstable KBMs are expected only in the weak shear region near the radial location of the minimum of the safety factor in NSTX reverse shear discharges.

The radius of gyration (Rg) of d-PDMS was measured using the high-concentration labeling method and revealed unperturbed chain dimensions at all temperatures regardless of the polymer Mw. The random phase approximation (RPA) fits the data for low Mw blends, however it fails to describe the SANS data for Mw>10,000g/mol. This observation is explained by the fact that for high Mw blends the correlation length of the concentration fluctuations ξ is always large (ξ>Rg), implying that these blends remain microscopically inhomogeneous at all temperatures studied in this work. At the same time, the low Mw blends are randomly mixed (ξ1 T) plasma devices. A hydrogen neutral beam passing through a magnetic field perceives υ×B electric field, and its Balmer-α spectral emission is split and polarized by the linear Stark effect. The technique cannot be readily used at lower magnetic fields, due to loss of polarization fraction when lines of different polarization overlap due to line broadening which is on the order of the separation. This article describes the development of a technique to extend the capability of MSE to include lower fields (0.01 T and up) and the field magnitude as well as direction. The technique employs laser-induced fluorescence on a diagnostic neutral beam. The narrow-band laser and low energy spread neutral beam allow the observed linewidths to be significantly narrower than these observed from previously employed collisionally induced fluorescence systems.

Unlike usual techniques, the need for detailed atomic physics calculations to properly interpret the results is alleviated. Instead, the needed atomic physics corrections are self-consistently determined directly from the measurements, by making use of specially chosen viewing chords. Modeling results are presented that were used to determine a set of views capable of measuring the correction terms. We present the analysis of a quiescent H-mode discharge, illustrating that significant modifications to the velocity profiles are required in these high ion temperature conditions. We also present preliminary measurements providing a direct comparison of the standard cross-section correction to the atomic physics calculations.

When used with D3He-filled capsules, multiple proton emission imaging cameras measure the spatial distribution of fusion burn, with three-dimensional information about burn symmetry. Simultaneously, multiple spectrometers measure areal density as a function of angle around the imploded capsule. Experiments at the OMEGA laser facility [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)] have already proven the utility of this approach. An introduction to the hardware used for penumbral imaging, and algorithms used to create images of the burn region, are provided here along with simple scaling laws relating image resolution and signal-to-noise ratio to characteristics of the cameras and the burn region.

One group uses a plastic scintillator coupled with a microchannel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tube (PMT), either a single-stage (gain up to 103) MCP PMT and a two-stage (gain up to 106) MCP PMT. Two ultrafast scintillators—BC-422 and BC-422Q—were used. Another nTOF prototype is based on a synthetic diamond wafer produced by the chemical vapor deposition. The nTOF detectors were tested on DD (2.45 MeV) and DT (14.1 MeV) neutron-producing implosions on OMEGA. Based on the results of these tests, a set of nTOF detectors is proposed for use on the NIF to measure ion temperature and DD and DT neutron yields from 109 to 1019.

The direct measurement of alpha particle losses is of particular interest. Appropriate diagnostics are now being prepared for the Joint European Torus tokamak: a scintillator probe and a set of Faraday cups. Both systems are capable of measuring charged fusion products and ion cyclotron resonance heating tail ions. The design of the lost alpha particle scintillator probe is in the scope of this article. It will allow the detection of particles with a gyroradius between 20 and 140 mm (15% resolution) and a pitch angle between 30° and 86° (5% resolution). As scintillating material P56 will be used. The light emitted by the scintillator caused by charged particles that pass the collimator and hit the scintillator will be detected via a set of optical lenses and a coherent image fiber bundle with a charge coupled device camera and a photomultiplier array. In the following the present design of the scintillator probe with emphasis on the performance of the system, structural resistance against plasma disruptions, and the requirements on the heat protection against plasma and neutral beam induced thermal loads will be described.

It will consist of nine detectors spread over five different poloidal locations and three radial positions. They will measure the poloidal distribution and radial scrape off of the losses. The detectors will be comprised of four layers of thin (2.5 μm) Ni foil, giving some resolution of the lost particle energy distribution as different ranges of energies will stop in different layers of the detector. One detector will utilize eight thinner (1.0 μm) foils to obtain a better-resolved energy distribution. These detectors will accept particles incident up to 45° from the normal to the foils.

In an effort to evaluate the viability of this diagnostic, we are undertaking a series of calculations of the signal levels (A/cm2) for such devices. Preliminary results assuming a model high yield ITER plasma have been obtained for locations near the outer wall assuming a toroidally symmetric vacuum vessel. We find signal levels to be a strong function of foil location and orientation. Specifically the signal level will be optimized at a vertical location 0.5 m above the machine midplane and with the normal to the foil directed in the lower, radially outward, toroidally counterclockwise octant. A foil thus oriented at a radial distance of 15 cm from the vessel wall at a height of 0.583 m above the machine midplane will have an efficiency of 3.5×10-8/cm2 for alpha particles which undergo classic loss during the first ten revolutions around the torus during this model plasma. For the assumed D–T fusion power of this model plasma of 410 MW, this calculated efficiency will correspond to a measured current in the Faraday foil of 1.7 μA/cm2. Future, more realistic calculations must incorporate the effects of an asymmetrical vessel and of toroidal field ripple.

To achieve the spatial resolution and fielding capability needed at the National Ignition Facility requires a staged approach that simultaneously pushes the limits of extant capabilities while developing new techniques that will extend to the National Ignition Facility regime. To this end, new pinhole assemblies have been designed and fabricated using very high-precision machining equipment. These assemblies have been fielded successfully at Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester and have provided impetus for new aperture designs and new ideas for detectors, which are now the limiting element in the system resolution.

The downscattered images can help to understand ICF implosion dynamics. Recording downscattered images is difficult because the images are relatively weak, and because they may be obscured by residual “afterglow” of more intense 14 MeV images. The effect of afterglow can be estimated by adding a sequence of images for neutron energies from 14 MeV down to the downscatteed energy of interest. The images will be subject to decay factors which depend on the time response of the neutron scintillator. Preliminary analyses suggest that afterglow will not prevent the recording of useful downscattered images.

The alpha source and large-area alpha particle detector would be located inside the vacuum vessel but outside the plasma. Alphas with a typical energy of 5.5 MeV (241Am) can reach the center of almost all laboratory plasmas and magnetic fusion devices, so this method can potentially determine the q(r) profile of tokamaks or spherical toris (STs). Orbit calculations, background evaluations, and conceptual designs for such α v×B (or “AVB”) detector are described.

The calibrated energy range is E=0.5–150 keV and the energy resolution varies from ΔE/E=3%–7% over the surface of the microchannel plate detector. The NPA measures Maxwellian spectra of residual hydrogen to obtain ion temperatures and measures the energetic ion spectra produced by injection of up to 100 keV deuterium neutral beams into deuterium plasmas. The NPA views across the coinjection paths of the three neutral beam sources on NSTX which localizes the measured charge exchange effux to the intersection region. The incorporation of horizontal scanning for the NPA over a sightline tangency range of Rtan=125–-75 cm has enabled measurement of the anisotropic energy distribution of the beam ions. Vertical scanning allows measurements to be made from the horizontal midplane through an angle of 26° downward. A description of the NPA diagnostic on NSTX will be presented along with illustrations of measurement capability.

They view across the three co-injection neutral beam lines [deuterium, 80 keV (typically) with tangency radii 48.7, 59.2, and 69.4 cm] on NSTX and detect co-going energetic ions. A silicon photodiode was calibrated by using a monoenergetic deuteron beam source. Deuterons with energy above 40 keV can be detected with the present setup. The degradation of the performance was also investigated. Lead shot and epoxy are used for neutron shielding to reduce handling any hazardous heavy metal. This method also enables us to make an arbitrary shape to be fit into the complex flight tube.

Pitch angle and gyro radius resolutions are estimated numerically by using a Monte Carlo orbit simulation. The result shows that the detector has sufficient resolution in pitch angle and gyro radius for our target plasmas. Under the neutral beam injected plasma, a signal derived from fast ions was obtained on the scintillator plate and analyzed by using the recorded camera image.

The experimental technique and modeling of the spectra are described and results of fluorescence measurements are presented. Fluorescence spectra were measured from an aluminium microdot over a small hole in the wall of an experimental package or a hohlraum. The aluminium was photopumped from a broadband radiation source, without perturbing the temperature. To date, fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to diagnose the radiative heating of plasmas in the temperature range 20–80 eV. Fluorescence spectroscopy has several advantages over x-ray absorption and self-emission spectroscopy in the diagnosis of HED experiments and these are discussed in the article. Extension of the technique to higher temperature plasma is discussed.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/10//Oct2004 Part I & II VL - 75 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3660 EP - 3665 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - A new type of high-resolution x-ray imaging crystal spectrometer is being developed to measure ion and electron temperature profiles in tokamak plasmas. The instrument is particularly valuable for diagnosing plasmas with purely ohmic heating and rf heating, since it does not require the injection of a neutral beam—although it can also be used for the diagnosis of neutral-beam heated plasmas. The spectrometer consists of a spherically bent quartz crystal and a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector. It records spectra of helium-like argon (or krypton) from multiple sightlines through the plasma and projects a de-magnified image of a large plasma cross section onto the detector. The spatial resolution in the plasma is solely determined by the height of the crystal, its radius of curvature, and the Bragg angle. This new x-ray imaging crystal spectrometer may also be of interest for the diagnosis of ion temperature profiles in future large tokamaks, the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research tokamak and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, where the application of the presently used charge-exchange spectroscopy will be difficult, if the neutral beams do not penetrate to the plasma center. The article presents the results from proof-of-principle experiments performed with a prototype instrument at Alcator C-Mod.

The Z facility can make >200 TW, 1–2 MJ, near-blackbody radiation sources through the compression of cylindrical wire arrays. These sources are being used as drivers to study inertial-confinement fusion capsule implosions, complex radiation–hydrodynamic jet experiments, and wire-array z-pinch physics tests. To backlight plasmas in this environment we have built diagnostics based on spherically bent crystals that provide high spatial resolution (9–10 μm), a narrow spectral bandpass (<0.5 eV), and a large field of view (4 mm×20 mm). These diagnostics use the 2 TW, multi-kJ Z-Beamlet laser to produce x-ray emission sources at 1.865 or 6.151 keV for backlighting.

Its relative reflectivity and half-width rocking curve were measured to up to the reflection order of 28. In addition, a comparative measurement of the iron L-shell soft x-ray line emission was made on the EBIT-I Livermore electron beam ion trap by fielding the LaMgAl11O19 crystal side by side with a rubidium hydrogen phthalate crystal in a flat crystal spectrometer. From these measurements, reflectivity and spectral resolving power were determined.

The bottom package was developed to measure the power radiated to the bottom of Z and compare it to the power radiated to the top of Z on dynamic hohlraum pinch loads. When an up/down power asymmetry was measured, the bottom package was expanded in an effort to determine the source of the asymmetry. The bottom package contains one port directly on axis, six ports at 3.4° to the axis, and four ports at 9° to the axis. Typical diagnostics fielded on the bottom package are a time-resolved pinhole camera, time-integrated spatially resolved convex crystal spectrometers, a time-resolved crystal spectrometer, x-ray diodes, bolometers, and photoconducting detectors. We will present some typical data from these bottom diagnostics on dynamic hohlraum shots on Z and briefly discuss their relevance to the up/down power asymmetry.

Quantitative analysis of the recorded film exposure requires knowledge of the counting statistics inherent to each particular film type. To address this issue, RAR-2497 and DEF film were exposed on a Manson x-ray source for multiple fluence values and photon energies. The fluctuations in the measured intensity were found by determining the statistical distribution of the recorded photon intensity using Henke’s calibration tables to relate the net film density to the incident intensity. The resulting measurements of the statistical fluctuations in photon intensity are presented for each film type.

At the Z facility these problems are addressed using a suite of elliptical crystal spectrometers. The elliptical geometry isolates the detector from the line of sight with a slit placed at the elliptical focus, while the sensitivity enables locating the crystal 2–4 m from the plasma source. Space and time resolution are obtained by using an array of slits to project one dimensional plasma images onto the crystal and recording the spectrally dispersed images with a gated microchannel plate detector.

The experimental results have been produced at the Cornell XP facility with a peak current of 450 kA and a full width at half maximum pulse duration of 100 ns. The spatially resolved, time-integrated x-ray line spectra from the region of the X-pinch cross point have been recorded using different crystal spectrometers. In particular, K-shell and L-shell x-ray spectra of Ni and Cr have been recorded through different filters in the same pulses for X pinches from two different wire alloys. A nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium collisional–radiative atomic kinetic model of Ni has been developed to identify the useful diagnostic spectroscopic features and to model experimental spectra. The results of the modeling and radiative properties of different materials from nichrome and conichrome alloys are compared and discussed.

In single-photon–counting mode, the pixel value of each readout pixel is proportional to the energy deposited from the incident x-ray photon. For photons below 100 keV, a significant fraction of the events deposits all the energy in a single pixel. A histogram of the pixel readout values gives a good approximation of the x-ray spectrum. This technique requires almost no alignment, but it is very sensitive to signal-to-background issues, especially in a high-energy petawatt environment. Shielding the direct line of sight to the target was not sufficient to obtain a high-quality spectrum, for the experiments reported here the CCD camera had to be shielded from all sides with up to 10 cm of lead.

The curvature of the mica (002) crystal grating allows for higher collection efficiency compared to the flat and cylindrically bent crystal spectrometers commonly used on the Livermore electron beam ion traps. The spectrometer’s Johann configuration enables orientation of its dispersion plane to be parallel to the electron beam propagation. Used in concert with a crystal spectrometer, whose dispersion plane is perpendicular to the electron beam propagation, the polarization of x-ray emission lines can be measured.

Experiments at the OMEGA laser have used the Nova TSPEC which was not optimized for the OMEGA diagnostic space envelope or for the needed spectroscopic coverage and resolution. An improved multipurpose spectrometer snout, the MSPEC, has been constructed and fielded on OMEGA. The MSPEC provides the maximal internal volume for mounting crystals without any beam interferences at either 2× or 3× magnification. The RAP crystal is in a convex mounting geometry bent to a 20 cm radius of curvature. The spectral resolution, E/dE, is about 200 at 2.5 keV. The spectral coverage is 2 to 4.5 keV. The MSPEC can record four separate spectra on the framing camera at time intervals of up to several ns. The spectrometer design and initial field-test performance will be presented and compared to that of the TSPEC.

In order to asses the crystal performance for a variety of different experiments, various Kα and Kβ x-ray lines have been produced using a high-intensity (>=1017 W/cm2) short-pulse (∼100 fs) laser beam focused onto Ti, V, Zn, and Cu foils. The measured spectral resolution of the HOPG crystals in both first and second order diffraction has been compared with theoretical predictions. Using known values for the peak reflectivity of HOPG crystals, we have also computed Kα x-ray conversion efficiencies of Ti, V, Zn, and Cu. These results are important to estimate the optimal conditions under which different types of HOPG monochromators can be used for the detection of weak x-ray signals as the one encountered in x-ray Thomson/Compton scattering experiments.

The spectral region from 3.5 to 6.5 Å includes three distinct groups of transitions, and the best candidates for M-shell diagnostics are identified. Theoretical modeling is benchmarked with LLNL electron beam ion trap data produced at different energies of the electron beam and recorded by crystal spectrometers and a broadband microcalorimeter. A new high temperature plasma diagnostic tool, x-ray spectropolarimetry, is proposed to study polarization of W line emission and is illustrated using the results of x-pinch polarization-sensitive experiments. The x-ray line polarization of the prominent M-shell tungsten lines is calculated, and polarization markers are identified. The advantage of using x-pinch W wire experiments for the development of M-shell diagnostics is shown.

The streak camera is used to measure with one dimension of spatial resolution the continuous time history of sub-kilo-electron-volts emission from z-pinch and radiation flow experiments. Radiation >1 keV is eliminated by the use of a grazing-incidence mirror and transmission filters. The diagnostic has a magnification of 1.22, a 20 mm field-of-view and a spatial resolution of ∼350 μm. The recording length of the instrument is variable in duration up to a maximum of 33 ns, making it well suited for the typical 100 ns Z pinch implosion times. The spatial resolution can readily be changed to be along either the axial or the radial direction.

However, characterizing the uniformity and thickness of the frozen fuel layer in such a target is challenging since traditional x-ray radiography techniques, which rely on absorption for image contrast, cannot provide sufficient contrast to image the fuel layer in these low-Z materials. We propose using x-ray phase contrast imaging, which relies on gradients in the refractive index and wave interference, to characterize fuel layer uniformity. We present numerical modeling results of x-ray phase contrast imaging demonstrating the feasibility of this method for target characterization, discuss the necessary x-ray source characteristics, and present concepts for using this technique in the context of dynamic high density plasma experiments.

In this technique, a pinhole aperture is placed between a laser irradiated foil (x-ray source) and an imaging detector. Future high energy density experiments that utilize more opaque materials will require backlighters with improved contrast as compared to what is currently used. In this article, we present an improved backlighter geometry that utilizes a tilted pinhole for debris mitigation and a front-side illuminated backlighter foil for improved photon statistics.

The electron–hole pairs create a frequency dependent shift in optical refractive index and absorption. This is sensed by simultaneously directing an optical probe beam through the same volume of semiconducting medium that has experienced an x-ray induced modulation in the electron–hole population. If the wavelength of the optical probe beam is close to the semiconductor band-edge, the optical probe will be modulated significantly in phase and amplitude. We have analyzed the physics of the imaging radsensor, developed modeling tools for device design, and are cautiously optimistic that we will achieve single x-ray photon sensitivity, and picosecond response. These predictions will be tested with Cu Kα xrays at the LLNL USP facility this spring and summer, with a cavity-based radsensor detector suitable for use in x-ray imagers.

The hard x rays produce a high background in the streak camera. The background was significantly reduced by wrapping the streak camera with a high-Z material; in this case, 1/8 in. of Pb. The large hard x-ray flux also adds noise to images from framing cameras which use charge-coupled devices.

High energy x-ray backlighters will be essential for radiographing high energy-density experimental science targets for NIF projects especially to probe implosions and high areal density planar samples. Hard Kα x-ray photons are created through relativistic electron plasma interactions in the target material after irradiated by short pulse high intensity lasers. For our Vulcan experiment, we employed a CsI scintillator charge coupled device (CCD) camera for imaging and a CCD camera for single photon counting. We have directly measured the 22 keV Ag Kα source size using the RAL petawatt laser and performed knife-edge measurements of a 40 keV Sm Kα source using the JanUSP laser. The measured source sizes are both ∼60 μm full width half maximum. We have also measured the Ag Kα conversion efficiencies. At laser intensities of 1×1018 W/cm2 range, the conversion efficiency at 22 keV is ∼1×10-4.

High-energy x-ray backlighters will be essential for radiographing high-energy-density experimental science (HEDES) targets, especially to probe implosions and high areal density planar samples. For these high energy backlighter imaging experiments, we are developing two types of detectors: a columnar grown CsI scintillator coupled to a 2 K×2 K charge-coupled device camera, and a CdTe crystal with special application specific integrated circuit readout electronics in a 508×512 format array. We characterized these sensors using Cd109 and Am241 radioactive isotopes. In addition, we employed them to measure the Sm Kα source size generated by the short pulse laser, JanUSP, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The CsI camera performed well, allowing a measurement of the Sm Kα source size. Calibration of this camera has shown that it has low noise and good resolution. The new CdTe camera performed well, however the noise level was too high for single photon counting. Some modifications to the camera will also be necessary in order to meet the needs of future hard x-ray experiments. Both cameras showed considerable promise as diagnostic tools for future high-energy x-ray backlighters for NIF HEDES experiments. This article will present the results of our characterizations of these detectors, and initial results from the JanUSP experiments.

Each frame acquired with these devices requires a separate image, and with most reasonable x-ray optics, a separate line of sight, causing potential parallax problems. Gated image tubes have a single line of sight capability, but the conventional designs have not been effectively extended to the short gating times of the microstrip-line MCP camera. A hybrid camera combining image tube and microstrip-line MCP technology has been under development at Lawrence Livermore National Lab in collaboration with University of Rochester Lab for Laser energetics, and KENTECH Instruments. The key feature of this single line of sight hybrid image tube is a deflection assembly that continuously divides the electrons from a single photocathode x-ray image into a set of four electron images. Temporal gating of these images is carried out using a microstrip-line microchannel plate framing camera module positioned at the image plane of the electron tube. Characterization measurements performed using both x rays from a Manson source and from laser generated plasmas, will be presented. Some implementation improvements will be discussed.

Due to the limited space inside the diagnostic, an analog and digital input/output option in the camera controller permits control of both the camera and the diagnostic by a single Ethernet link. The system consists of a Spectral Instruments Series 1000 camera, a PC104+ controller, and power supply. The 4k by 4k CCD camera has a dynamic range of 70 dB with less than 14 electron read noise at a 1 MHz readout rate. The PC104+ controller includes 16 analog inputs, four analog outputs, and 16 digital input/output lines for interfacing to diagnostic instrumentation. A description of the system and performance characterization is reported.

In RSX, externally driven free-boundary flux ropes are generated for magnetic reconnection studies in collisional plasma. Time-resolved images of flux rope interaction on submicrosecond time scales are achieved through the use of a microchannel plate intensified CCD camera and are shown to be consistent with probe measurements of plasma pressure and magnetic structure. High experimental repeatability allows plasma evolution to be displayed and measured from images taken over hundreds of RSX discharges to elucidate flux rope interaction dynamics. Peak-intensity fit algorithms extrapolate rope separation and two-dimensional rope velocities from images in agreement with probe data. First glimpses of two flux ropes that twist and merge are presented.

These measurements will provide a new window into understanding the physics of detached and/or high radiating plasmas. The system, located on top of the Alcator C-Mod concrete igloo, will view a 30×30 cm2 region of the lower divertor by means of a re-entrant 5 m long ZnSe based periscope. A McPherson 218 spectrometer will disperse the light that will then be detected by a thermoelectrically cooled InGaAs, 256-element linear image sensor. The signals from each pixel will be digitized by a 16-bit, 333 kHz analog/digital board and then transmitted over optical link to a personal computer (PC) located in Alcator C-Mod control room. The PC will remotely control the system and store the data in the MDSplus database.

Well resolved spatial and temporal two-dimensional (2D) images of turbulent structures will be useful in understanding ion turbulence in magnetically confined plasmas which is a key factor in the performance of fusion experimental devices. A sheet beam of a megahertz repetition rate tunable Alexandrite laser is used to excite ion emission from argon plasma. The fluorescence emitted from the plane of the laser beam is detected with a narrow band interference filter and intensified ultrafast charge coupled device camera providing 2D images of relative ion density fluctuations every microsecond. It is expected that the edge plasma on fusion devices will be accessible to this technique.

Higher throughput is obtained with short focal length refractive optics and stigmatic imaging. Many more spectra can be obtained with a single spectrometer since smaller, more densely packed optical input fibers can be used. Multiple input slits, along with a bandpass filter, can be used to maximize the number of spectra per detector, providing further economy. Curved slits can correct for the strong image curvature of the short focal length optics. Presented here are the governing grating equations for both standard and high-dispersion transmission gratings, defining dispersion, image curvature, and desired slit curvature, that can be used in the design of improved plasma diagnostics.

The spectrometer has a temporal response of 1 ms and a rotation velocity sensitivity of ∼105 cm/s. This diagnostic will have a tangential view and map out the plasma rotation at several locations along the outer half of the minor radius (r/a>0.5). The plasma rotation will be determined from the Doppler shifted wavelengths of Dα and magnetic and electric dipole transitions of highly ionized impurities in the plasma. The fast time resolution and high spectral resolving power are possible due to a 6 in. diam circular transmission grating that is capable of λ/Δλ∼15 500 at 5769 Å in conjunction with a 50 μm slit.

In initial tests CO2 and C5H12 gas-filled targets were used to create various laser–plasma interaction conditions which have shown the capability of producing ignition size laser plasmas with reflectivites on the order of 10%. Results are presented for tests in which 16 kJ on target produced between 0.3 and 2.5 kJ of backscattered light.

The system was designed to provide measurements at the highest expected fluences with: (1) spectral and temporal resolution, (2) beam aperture averaging, and (3) near-field imaging. This is accomplished with a strongly attenuating diffusive fiber coupler and streaked spectrometer and separate calibrated time integrated spectrometers, and imaging cameras. A new technique determines the wavelength dependent sensitivity of the complete system with a calibrated Xe lamp. Data from the calibration system are combined with scattering data from targets to produce the calibrated power and energy measurements that show significant corrections due to the broad band calibrations.

To account for changes of the system throughput due to exposure to target debris the system will be routinely calibrated in situ at 532 and 355 nm using a dedicated pulsed laser source.

To visualize the turbulence and associated impurity line emission near the lower x-point region, a new tangential observation port has been recently installed on NSTX. A reentrant sapphire window with a moveable in-vessel mirror images the divertor region from the center stack out to R∼80 cm and views the x-point for most plasma configurations. A coherent fiber optic bundle transmits the image through a remotely selected filter to a fast camera, for example, a 40 500 frames/s photron complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor camera. A gas puffer located in the lower inboard divertor will localize the turbulence in the region near the x-point. Edge fluid and turbulent codes UEDGE and BOUT will be used to interpret impurity and deuterium emission fluctuation measurements in the divertor.

However, design of a MSE diagnostic for ITER presents many unique challenges. Among these is optical analysis for the convoluted optical path, required for effective neutron shielding, that employs several reflective optics arranged to form a labyrinth. The geometry of the diagnostic has been laid out and the expected Doppler shifts and channel resolution calculated. A model of the optical train has also been developed based on the Mueller matrix formalism. Unfolding the pitch angle for this complicated geometry is not straightforward and possible methods are evaluated. The CORSICA code is used to model a variety of ITER discharges including start-up, Ip-ramp, and reverse shear. The code also incorporates a synthetic MSE diagnostic that can be used to evaluate different viewing locations and optimize channel locations for the above discharges. Simulation of the optical emission spectrum is also under way.

The camera system is described and some of its important characteristics are measured, including time response and uniformity over the field-of-view. The diagnostic has been used in two applications. One uses gas-puff imaging to illuminate the turbulence in the edge/scrape-off-layer region, where D2 gas puffs localize the emission in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field when viewed by the camera system. The dynamics of the underlying turbulence around and outside the separatrix are detected in this manner. In a second diagnostic application, the light from an injected, ablating, high speed Li pellet is observed radially from the outer midplane, and fast poloidal motion of toroidal striations are seen in the Li+ light well inside the separatrix.

Codeposition of hydrogen with carbon needs to be characterized and understood in the initial hydrogen phase in order to mitigate tritium retention and qualify carbon plasma facing components for DT operations. Plasma facing diagnostic mirrors will experience deposition that is expected to rapidly degrade their reflectivity, posing a challenge to diagnostic design. Some eroded particles will collect as dust on interior surfaces and the quantity of dust will be strictly regulated for safety reasons however, diagnostics of in-vessel dust are lacking. We report results from two diagnostics that relate to these issues. Measurements of deposition on NSTX with 4 Hz time resolution have been made using a quartz microbalance in a configuration that mimics that of a typical diagnostic mirror. Often deposition was observed immediately following the discharge suggesting that diagnostic shutters should be closed as soon as possible after the time period of interest. Material loss was observed following a few discharges. A novel diagnostic to detect dust particles on remote surfaces was commissioned on NSTX.

This was to evaluate the susceptibility to malfunction and damage of equipment and diagnostics for the new Orion laser. EMP measurement were made using moebius loop antennas fitted inside the target chamber of the Vulcan petawatt laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. These show the EMP as a 63 MHz transient which decays from a peak magnetic field of around 4.3 A/m. A theoretical model presented assumes the EMP is produced by an impulse of 1012 electron emanating from the target, which charge the chamber wall causing it to ring at natural frequency. The theoretical model provides an estimate of the EMP measured in the Vulcan petawatt target chamber and will be used for the design of the Orion laser.

The technique preserves as much as possible the individuality of every single measure by a simple rule of translation of magnetic field pitch angle measurements into q-values. Based on a geometric approach, and the observation that the flux surfaces shapes are strongly constrained by that of the last closed flux surface (LCFS), by the position of the magnetic axis and by a few more global parameters, it provides a robust, nonsubjective, accurate technique that is useful for the experimental study of q-profiles and for the evaluation of its uncertainties. It also provides a useful tool for plasma control experiments as it does not submit data to a preliminary search of minima in a multi-parametric domain, a procedure that may lead to jumps in the time behavior of the produced results.

The combination of the two measurements provides the excluded flux radius that approximates the separatrix radius of the field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma. Arrays of similar probes are used to map out local magnetic field dynamics beyond both ends of the theta-coil confinement region to help understand the effects of cusp locations on flux trapping during the FRC formation process. Details on the probe design and system calibrations are presented. The overall system calibration of excluded flux radius measurement is examined by replacing FRC plasma with a known radius aluminum conductor cylinder.

Experiments in NSTX will explore the compatibility of the supersonic gas jet fueling with the H-mode plasma edge, edge localized mode control, edge magnetohydrodynamic stability, radio frequency heating scenarios, and start-up scenarios with a fast plasma density ramp up. The diagnostic applications include localized impurity gas injections for transport and turbulence experiments and edge helium spectroscopy for edge Te and ne profile measurements. Nozzle and gas injector design considerations are presented and four types of supersonic nozzles are discussed. The prototype SGI operates at room temperature. It is comprised of a small graphite Laval nozzle coupled to a modified commercial piezoelectric valve and mounted on a movable vacuum feedthrough. The critical properties of the SGI jet—low divergence, high density, and sharp boundary gradient, achievable only at M>1, have been demonstrated in a laboratory setup simulating NSTX edge conditions. The Mach numbers of about 4, the injection rate up to 1022 particles/s, and the jet divergence half angle of 6° have been inferred from pulsed pressure measurements.

Often the probe voltage sweep frequency is much lower than the characteristic frequencies of the plasma fluctuations and a time-averaged I–V characteristic is used for the fit. We show by numerical modeling that in the presence of Te fluctuations with frequencies well above the voltage sweep frequency this standard technique applied to a swept single probe tends to read higher than the actual time-averaged Te provided no correlated plasma potential (Vp) fluctuations are present. In the presence of coupled Te and Vp fluctuations a slowly swept single probe may read either higher or lower than the average Te, depending on the relative amplitude and phase of the temperature and potential fluctuations. In contrast, swept double probe measurements of Te are virtually unaffected by either Te or Vp fluctuations.

These have a nitrogen equivalent lower pressure limit of a conventional ion gauge (∼3×10-10 Torr) and an upper pressure limit of 50 mTorr. On NSTX, they have a useful operating range of 1×10-5 Torr–4 mTorr in deuterium. The modified Princeton Divertor Experiment-type Penning gauges are well suited for pressure measurements in the NSTX divertor where the toroidal field is relatively high. It is capable of operation over a pressure range of 1×10-5Torr–4 mTorr in deuterium. The gauge calibration has been stable for 2 years and the gauges have required no maintenance. Behind the NSTX outer divertor plates where the field is lower, an unshielded ion gauge of a new design has been installed.

This Colloquium reviews fundamental aspects of MHD turbulence, including spectral energy transfer, nonlocality, and anisotropy, each of which is related to the multiplicity of dynamical time scales that may be present. These basic issues are discussed based on the concepts of sweeping of the small scales by a large-scale field, which in MHD occurs due to effects of counterpropagating waves, as well as the local straining processes that occur due to nonlinear couplings. These considerations give rise to various expected energy spectra, which are compared to both simulation results and relevant observations from space and astrophysical plasmas.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 24 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1185 EP - 1199 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 02724332 AB - The effectiveness of a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) depends on the quality and relevance of the output from exposure and risk models, which, in turn, depends on the critical inputs to the assessment. These critical inputs are often in the form of probabilistic exposure factor distributions that are derived for the given risk scenario. Deriving probabilistic distributions for model inputs can be time consuming and subjective. The absence of a standard approach for developing these distributions can result in PRAs that are inconsistent and difficult to review by regulatory agencies. We present an approach that reduces subjectivity in the distribution development process without limiting the flexibility needed to prepare relevant PRAs. The approach requires two steps. First, we analyze data pooled at a population scale to (i) identify the most robust demographic descriptors within the population for a given exposure factor, (ii) partition the data into subsets based on these variables, and (iii) construct archetypal distributions for each subpopulation. Second, we sample from these archetypal distributions according to site- or scenario-specific conditions to simulate exposure factor values and use these values to construct the scenario-specific input distribution. The archetypal distributions developed through Step 1 provide a consistent basis for developing scenario-specific distributions so risk assessors will not have to repeatedly collect and analyze raw data for each new assessment. We demonstrate the approach for two commonly used exposure factors—body weight (BW) and exposure duration (ED)—using data that are representative of the U.S. population. For these factors we provide a first set of subpopulation-based archetypal distributions and demonstrate methods for using these distributions to construct relevant scenario-specific probabilistic exposure factor distributions.

They are responsible for ∼20% of global carbon fixation. We report the 34 million-base pair draft nuclear genome of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and its 129 thousand-base pair plastid and 44 thousand-base pair mitochondrial genomes. Sequence and optical restriction mapping revealed 24 diploid nuclear chromosomes. We identified novel genes for silicic acid transport and formation of silica-based cell walls, high-affinity iron uptake, biosynthetic enzymes for several types of polyunsaturated fatty acids, use of a range of nitrogenous compounds, and a complete urea cycle, all attributes that allow diatoms to prosper in aquatic environments.

Osmium isotope ratios in Hawaiian lavas indicate a mass flux of <1% core to the mantle, which is the immediate source of these lavas. We present precise measurements of the Fe/Mn ratio for Hawaiian lavas, revealing an increase of 1 to 2% in the mole fraction of iron in the mantle beneath Hawaii. This corresponds to a density anomaly of about 0.5%, about the same magnitude observed in seismic tomography models of the Pacific superswell region. These data also rule out a role for Mn-rich sediments as the source of the Hawaiian Os isotope signal.

The organic functional groups amine(–NH2) and sulfonate(–SO3H) were successfully attached to a commercially available fine-grained activated carbon(AC) via electrophilic aromatic substitutions. The surface properties of the materials were investigated using FTIR spectroscopy, XPS, BET surface area analysis, gravimetric methods, and elemental analysis. The NH2-AC and SO3H-AC each had a functional group density of 3 mmol/g. Batch metal ion adsorption experiments were conducted to determine metal binding properties of the adsorbent materials. Based on the distribution coefficients(Kd) of metal ions tested, the unmodified AC and sulfonated-AC both had an affinity for metal ions in decreasing order of Nd > Lu ≈ La > Pb > Cu > Ni ≈ Cd > Mn ≈ Ca, while the amine-AC had an affinity for metal ions in the order of Cu ≫ Nd ≈ Lu ≈ La > Pb > Ni > Cd > Mn ≈ Ca. With maximum Kd values of 130,000 for amine-AC and 25,000 for sulfonated-AC, compared to a Kd of 2,000 for unmodified AC, the modified activated carbons have a strong potential for use in removing heavy metal ions and lanthanide ions from aqueous wastes.

The models account for mutation rates that depend on how long the host has been infected. We derive explicit formulas for the reproductive number of the epidemic based on the local stability of the infection-free equilibrium. We analyze the existence and stability of the boundary equilibrium, whose infection components are zero and positive, respectively, and the endemic equilibrium, whose components are all positive. We establish the conditions for global stability of the infection-free and boundary equilibria and local stability of the endemic equilibrium for the case where there is no age structure for the pathogen in the infected population. We show that under certain circumstances, there is a Hopf bifurcation where the endemic equilibrium loses its stability, and periodic solutions appear. We provide examples and numerical simulations to illustrate the Hopf bifurcation.

Collectors are modeled using unglazed collector test results. Variation of savings with collector area, storage volume, heat exchanger size, and wind for the Albuquerque, NM climate are shown. Over the storage-to-collector ratio range of 40–640 l/m2 collector, annual savings varies only ±15%. Cooling is sensitive to heat exchanger size, and heating is sensitive to wind velocity. At a collector area of 23 m2, the unglazed system meets about 56% of the annual total energy demand, saving 25.9 $/m2 yr for an all-electric home. For the 23 m2 area, savings for a cold/damp (Madison) and a hot/humid (Miami) climate are 64% and 56%, respectively, of the savings in Albuquerque.

In Task 27 Performance of Solar Facade Components of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme work has therefore been undertaken with the objective to develop a general methodology for durability test procedures and service lifetime prediction methods adaptable to the wide variety of advanced optical materials and components used in energy efficient solar thermal and buildings applications. As the result of this work a general methodology has been developed. The proposed methodology includes three steps: (a) initial risk analysis of potential failure modes, (b) screening testing/analysis for service life prediction and microclimate characterisation, and (c) service life prediction involving mathematical modelling and life testing.The applicability of the working scheme to be employed in the development of durability test procedures has been analysed for selective solar absorber surfaces and polymeric glazing materials in flat plate solar collectors. The examples show the great applicability of the general methodology for accelerated life testing. This will allow much shorter development cycle times for new products and will allow improvements to be identified and readily incorporated in new products prior to market introduction.

The method, referred to as FS-J-RES (Frequency-Selective-J-RESolved) NMR, uses frequency-selective irradiation at the I (nonobserved) spin frequency to target a specific pair of spins in a multispin system. In addition, the technique provides direct information about the number of identical I spins chemically bonded to the observed S nucleus. A reference spectrum, recorded without irradiating the I spins, accounts for transverse relaxation, pulse imperfections and dephasing due to homonuclear J couplings between S nuclei, which can be simultaneously measured with this method.

An analytical model for a lateral MOSFET that includes the effects of temperature variation in 6H-SiC poly-type has been developed. The model has also been used to study the device behavior in 4H-SiC at high ambient temperature. The model includes the effects of temperature on the threshold voltage, the carrier mobility, the body leakage current, and the drain and source contact region resistances. The MOSFET output characteristics and parameter values have been compared with previously measured experimental data. A good agreement between the analytical model and the experimental data has been observed. 6H-SiC material system provides enhanced device performance compared to 4H-SiC counterpart for lateral MOSFET.

In response to oxidation, four cysteines within a Zn2+ binding C-terminal domain form two disulfide bonds with concomitant release of the metal. This leads to the formation of the biologically active Hsp33 dimer. The crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of the E. coli protein has been reported, but neither the structure of the Zn2+ binding motif nor the nature of its regulatory interaction with the rest of the protein are known. Here we report the crystal structure of the full-length B. subtilis Hsp33 in the reduced form. The structure of the N-terminal, dimerization domain is similar to that of the E. coli protein, although there is no domain swapping. The Zn2+ binding domain is clearly resolved showing the details of the tetrahedral coordination of Zn2+ by four thiolates. We propose a structure-based activation pathway for Hsp33.

Specifically, the traditional dichotomy between Iguania (anoles, iguanas, chameleons, etc.) and Scleroglossa (skinks, geckos, snakes, etc.) has been correlated with major evolutionary shifts within Squamata. We present a molecular phylogenetic study of 69 squamate species using approximately 4600 (2876 parsimony-informative) base pairs (bp) of DNA sequence data from the nuclear genesRAG-1(∼⃒2750 bp) andc-mos(∼⃒360 bp) and the mitochondrialND2region (∼⃒1500 bp), sampling all major clades and most major subclades. Under our hypothesis, species previously placed in Iguania, Anguimorpha, and almost all recognized squamate families form strongly supported monophyletic groups. However, species previously placed in Scleroglossa, Varanoidea, and several other higher taxa do not form monophyletic groups. Iguania, the traditional sister group of Scleroglossa, is actually highly nested within Scleroglossa. This unconventional rooting does not seem to be due to long-branch attraction, base composition biases among taxa, or convergence caused by similar selective forces acting on nonsister taxa. Studies of functional tongue morphology and feeding mode have contrasted the similar states found inSphenodon(the nearest outgroup to squamates) and Iguania with those of Scleroglossa, but our findings suggest that similar states inSphenodonand Iguania result from homoplasy. Snakes, amphisbaenians, and dibamid lizards, limbless forms whose phylogenetic positions historically have been impossible to place with confidence, are not grouped together and appear to have evolved this condition independently. Amphisbaenians are the sister group of lacertids, and dibamid lizards diverged early in squamate evolutionary history. Snakes are grouped with iguanians, lacertiforms, and anguimorphs, but are not nested within anguimorphs.

T1 - Subchronic Toxicity of Ethylene Glycol in Wistar and F-344 Rats Related to Metabolism and Clearance of Metabolites. JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 81 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 502 EP - 511 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Ethylene glycol (CAS RN 107–21–1) can cause kidney toxicity via the formation of calcium oxalate crystals in a variety of species, including humans. Numerous repeated dose studies conducted in rats have indicated that male rats are more susceptible than female rats. Furthermore, subchronic and chronic studies using different dietary exposure regimens have indicated that male Wistar rats may be more sensitive to renal toxicity than male Fischer-344 (F-344) rats. This study was conducted to compare the toxicity of ethylene glycol in the two strains of rats under identical exposure conditions and to evaluate the potential contribution of toxicokinetic differences to strain sensitivity. Ethylene glycol was mixed in the diet at concentrations to deliver constant target dosage levels of 0, 50, 150, 500, or 1000 mg/kg/day for 16 weeks to groups of 10 male Wistar and 10 male F-344 rats based on weekly group mean body weights and feed consumption. Kidneys were examined histologically for calcium oxalate crystals and pathology. Samples of blood, urine, and kidneys from satellite animals exposed to 0, 150, 500, or 1000 mg/kg/day for 1 or 16 weeks were analyzed for ethylene glycol, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid. Treatment of Wistar rats at 1000 mg/kg/day resulted in the death of two rats; in addition, at 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day, group mean body weights were decreased compared to control throughout the 16 weeks. In F-344 rats exposed at 1000 mg/kg/day and in Wistar rats receiving 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day, there were lower urine specific gravities, higher urine volumes, and increased absolute and relative kidney weights. In both strains of rats treated at 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day, some or all treated animals had increased calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney tubules and crystal nephropathy. The effect was more severe in Wistar rats than in F-344 rats. Accumulation of oxalic acid in the kidneys of both strains of rats was consistent with the dose-dependent and strain-dependent toxicity. As the nephrotoxicity progressed over the 16 weeks, the clearance of ethylene glycol and its metabolites decreased, exacerbating the toxicity. Benchmark dose analysis indicated a BMDL05 for kidney toxicity in Wistar rats of 71.5 mg/kg/day; nearly fourfold lower than in F-344 rats (285 mg/kg/day). This study confirms that the Wistar rat is more sensitive to ethylene glycol–induced renal toxicity than the F-344 rat and indicates that metabolism or clearance plays a role in the strain differences.

JO - Traffic JF - Traffic Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 5 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 739 EP - 749 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13989219 AB - In the present study we identify inosine-5′ monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a key enzyme inde novoguanine nucleotide biosynthesis, as a novel lipid body-associated protein. To identify new targets of insulin we performed a comprehensive 2-DE analysis of32P-labelled proteins isolated from 3T3-L1 adipocytes (Hill et al. J Biol Chem 2000; 275: 24313–24320). IMPDH was identified by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry as a protein which was phosphorylated in a phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase-dependent manner upon insulin treatment. Although insulin had no significant effect on IMPDH activity, we observed translocation of IMPDH to lipid bodies following insulin treatment. Induction of lipid body formation with oleic acid promoted dramatic redistribution of IMPDH to lipid bodies, which appeared to be in contact with the endoplasmic reticulum, the site of lipid body synthesis and recycling. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase blocked insulin- and oleate-induced translocation of IMPDH and reduced oleate-induced lipid accumulation. However, we found no evidence of oleate-induced IMPDH phosphorylation, suggesting phosphorylation and translocation may not be coupled events. These data support a role for IMPDH in the dynamic regulation of lipid bodies and fatty acid metabolism and regulation of its activity by subcellular redistribution in response to extracellular factors that modify lipid metabolism.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 40 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - A trajectory-based algorithm provides an efficient and robust means to infer flow properties from surface deformation and head data. The algorithm is based upon the concept of an 'arrival time' of a drawdown front, which is defined as the time corresponding to the maximum slope of the drawdown curve. The technique involves three steps: the inference of head changes as a function of position and time, the use of the estimated head changes to define arrival times, and the inversion of the arrival times for flow properties. Trajectories, computed from the output of a numerical simulator, are used to relate the drawdown arrival times to flow properties. The inversion algorithm is iterative, requiring one reservoir simulation for each iteration. The method is applied to data from a set of 14 tiltmeters, located at the Raymond Quarry field site in California. Using the technique, I am able to image a high-conductivity channel which extends to the south of the pumping well. The presence of this permeable pathway is supported by an analysis of earlier cross-well transient pressure test data.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10/02/Oct2004 Part 2 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2533 EP - 2536 SN - 00189499 AB - At cryogenic temperatures (∼ 10 K), undoped lead iodide (PbI2) has material and scintillation properties that are very attractive for positron emission tomorgraphy (PET). However, the PbI2 emissions are quenched at temperatures >40 K, so close optical coupling between the scintillator and photodetector requires a photodetector that also operates at cryogenic temperatures. This suggests the visible light photon counter (VLPC), which operates at similar temperatures and combines high gain and high quantum efficiency. We proximity couple (0.001 in air gap) PbI2 crystals with 1.0-2.5 mm dimensions to a 1 mm diameter VLPC and cool the system to 8.5 K. Signals with short (<10 ns) duration are observed. When excited with 511 keV photons, a coincidence timing resolution of 1.3 ns full-width at half-maximum is measured. While a clear photopeak is observed for 122 keV excitation, no clear photopeak is seen under 511 keV excitation (possibly due to the poor optical quality of the PbI2 crystals). While the present configuration must be scaled-up considerably, a cryogenic PbI2/VLPC combination may eventually become the basis for a practical time-of-flight PET camera.

However, anesthesia profoundly affects the neurological state of the animal, complicating the interpretation of PET data. Furthermore, it precludes the use of PET to study the brain during normal behavior. The rat conscious animal PET tomograph (RatCAP) is designed to eliminate the need for anesthesia in rat brain studies. It is a miniaturized full-ring PET scanner that is attached directly to the head, imaging nearly the entire brain. RatCAP utilizes arrays of 2 mm × 2 mm LSO crystals coupled to matching avalanche photodiode arrays, which are in turn read out by full custom integrated circuits. Principal challenges have been addressed considering the physical constraints on size, weight, and heat generation in addition to the usual requirements of small-animal PET, such as high spatial resolution in the presence of parallax error. A partial prototype has been constructed and preliminary measurements and optimization completed. Realistic Monte Carlo simulations have also been carried out to optimize system performance, which is predicted to be competitive with existing microPET systems.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/10/03/Oct2004 Part 3 of 4 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2782 EP - 2786 SN - 00189499 AB - Eliminating radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths in integrated circuits (ICs) is key to improving their total dose hardness. Semiconductor manufacturers can use a combination of design and/or process techniques to eliminate known radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths. However, unknown or critical radiation-induced parasitic leakage may still exist on fully processed ICs and it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to identify these leakage paths based on radiation induced parametric degradation. We show that light emission microscopy can be used to identify the location of radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths in ICs. This is illustrated by using light emission microscopy to find radiation-induced parasitic leakage paths in partially-depleted silicon on insulator static random-access memories (SRAMs). Once leakage paths were identified, modifications were made to the SRAM design to improve the total dose radiation hardness of the SRAMs. Light emission microscopy should prove to be an important tool for the development of future radiation hardened technologies and devices.

This unusual strength ratio as well as the remarkable magnitude of flow stress reached (as high as 2.5 GPa) are unexpected for conventional close-packed pure metals. The strong temperature dependence is attributed to the unusually small activation volume measured in strain rate change tests. Grain boundary dislocation nucleation is proposed as the thermally activated deformation mechanism in nanocrystalline grains.

Unfortunately, inducing AF ordering in these alloys often requires annealing which leads to interdiffusion at the AF/F interface and a subsequent, and poorly understood, reduction in exchange bias. We report a study of the effects of interdiffusion in epitaxial NiMn/Ni bilayers. Using polarized neutron reflectometry, we deduce that the competition between AF and F interactions in the interdiffused region leads to a temperature-dependent magnetic interface location, “glassy” behavior, memory effects, and low-temperature training. The results have important implications for the understanding of the temperature dependence of the exchange bias in these materials.

In contrast with earlier interpretations which depended on the host semiconductor, it is found that a single mechanism is sufficient to explain the ferromagnetic stabilization energy for the entire series.

We have developed a conductive buffer layer structure composed of bilayer La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/Ir on a textured Ni–W alloy metal tape to functionally shunt the HTS layer to the underlying substrate. The key feature is the Ir layer, which serves as a barrier to both inward diffusion of oxygen and outward diffusion of metal substrate cations during fabrication. Electrical and microstructural property characterizations of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films on short prototype conductors demonstrate self-field critical current density values, Jc, exceeding 2×106 A/cm2 at 77 K and excellent electrical coupling to the underlying metal substrate, with no unwanted insulating oxide interfaces. Implementing this approach in power technologies would significantly increase the engineering current density of the conductor and reduce overall process costs.

The material is competitive with current metal hydride storage materials, but contains only carbon and silicon, reducing both its cost and environmental impact. Additionally, unlike metal hydrides, the core skeleton structure of this material is unaltered when cycling from full hydrogen storage to full hydrogen depletion, removing engineering complications associated with expansion/contraction of the material.

The characteristic time scale of the Brownian relaxation can be determined directly by ac susceptibility measurements as a function of frequency. The peak in the imaginary part of the ac susceptibility shifts to lower frequencies upon binding the target molecules to the magnetic nanoparticles. The frequency shift is consistent with an increase of the hydrodynamic radius corresponding to the size of the target molecule.

Of particular interest is the mass of the 6834Se34 rp-process waiting point nucleus for determining the possibility of a two-proton capture branch bypassing its slow β-decay. The mass of 68Se was measured via the β-decay endpoint. 68Se was produced by the 12C(58Ni, 2n)68Se reaction and subsequently implanted onto a moving tape system using the fragment mass analyzer at the ATLAS facility of Argonne National Laboratory. A mass excess value of was determined from the β-endpoint measurement of . Evaluations of proton separation energies based on the measured mass were used in a one zone type I X-ray burst model. It is concluded that the isotope 68Se is a waiting point for the rp-process.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/10/05/ VL - 43 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 12634 EP - 12647 SN - 00062960 AB - The primary electron donor of photosystem I (PS1), called P700, is a heterodimer of chlorophyll (Chl) a and a'. The crystal structure of photosystem I reveals that the chlorophyll a' (PA) could be hydrogen-bonded to the protein via a threonine residue, while the chlorophyll a (PB) does not have such a hydrogen bond. To investigate the influence of this hydrogen bond on P700, PsaA-Thr739 was converted to alanine to remove the H-bond to the 13¹-keto group of the chlorophyll a' in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The PsaA-T739A mutant was capable of assembling active PS1. Furthermore the mutant PS1 contained approximately one chlorophyll a' molecule per reaction center, indicating that P700 was still a Chl a/a' heterodimer in the mutant. However, the mutation induced several band shifts in the visible P700+ - P700 absorbance difference spectrum. Redox titration of P700 revealed a 60 mV decrease in the P700/P700+ midpoint potential of the mutant, consistent with loss of a H-bond. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicates that the ground state of P700 is somewhat modified by mutation of ThrA739 to alanine. Comparison of FTIR difference band shifts upon P700+ formation in WT and mutant PS1 suggests that the mutation modifies the charge distribution over the pigments in the P700+ state, with ∼14-18% of the positive charge on PB in WT being relocated onto PA in the mutant. ¹H-electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) analysis of the P700+ cation radical was also consistent with a slight redistribution of spin from the PB chlorophyll to PA, as well as some redistribution of spin within the PB chlorophyll. High-field electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at 330-GHz was used to resolve the g-tensor of P700+, but no significant differences from wild-type were observed, except for a slight decrease of anisotropy. The mutation did, however, provoke changes in the zero-field splitting parameters of the triplet state of P700 (³P700), as determined by EPR. Interestingly, the mutation-induced change in asymmetry of P700 did not cause an observable change in the directionality of electron transfer within PS1.

In this work, we report that two of the ethano adducts, 3,N4-ethanocytosine (EC) and 1,N6-ethanoadenine (EA), are novel substrates for the Escherichia coli mismatch-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase (Mug) and 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase II (AlkA), respectively. It has been shown previously that Mug excises 3,N4-ethenocytosine (#x03B5;C) and AlkA releases 1,N6-ethenoadenine (#x03B5;A). Using synthetic oligonucleotides containing a single ethano or etheno adduct, we found that both glycosylases had a ∼20-fold lower excision activity toward EC or EA than that toward their structurally analogous #x03B5;C or #x03B5;A adduct. Both enzymes were capable of excising the ethano base paired with any of the four natural bases, but with varying efficiencies. The Mug activity toward EC could be stimulated by E. coli endonuclease IV and, more efficiently, by exonuclease III. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed similar structural features of the etheno and ethano derivatives when present in DNA duplexes. However, also as shown by MD, the stacking interaction between the EC base and Phe 30 in the Mug active site is reduced as compared to the #x03B5;C base, which could account for the lower EC activity observed in this study.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/10/05/ VL - 101 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 14408 EP - 14413 SN - 00278424 AB - The concept that proteins exist in numerous different conformations or conformational substates, described by an energy landscape, is now accepted, but the dynamics is incompletely explored. We have previously shown that large-scale protein motions, such as the exit of a ligand from the protein interior, follow the dielectric fluctuations in the bulk solvent. Here, we demonstrate, by using mean-square displacements (msd) from Mössbauer and neutron-scattering experiments, that fluctuations in the hydration shell control fast fluctuations in the protein. We call the first type solvent-slaved or α-fluctuations and the second type hydration- shell-coupled or β-fluctuations. Solvent-slaved motions are similar to the α-fluctuations in glasses. Their temperature dependence can be approximated by a Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher relation and they are absent in a solid environment. Hydration-shell-coupled fluctu- ations are similar to the β-relaxation in glasses. They can be approximated by a Ferry or an Arrhenius relation, are much reduced or absent in dehydrated proteins, and occur in hydrated proteins even if embedded in a solid. They can be responsible for internal processes such as the migration of ligands within myoglobin. The existence of two functionally important fluctuations in proteins, one slaved to bulk motions and the other coupled to hydration-shell fluctuations, implies that the environment can control protein functions through different avenues and that no real protein transition occurs at ≈200 K. The large number of conformational substates is essential; proteins cannot function without this reservoir of entropy, which resides mainly in the hydration shell.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/10/05/ VL - 101 IS - 40 M3 - Article SP - 14497 EP - 14502 SN - 00278424 AB - Omp85-Iike proteins represent a family of proteins involved in protein translocation, and they are present in all domains of life, except archaea. In eukaryotes, Omp85-like proteins have been demonstrated to form tetrameric pore-forming complexes that interact directly with their substrate proteins. Studies performed with bacterial Omp85-like proteins have demonstrated pore-forming activity but no evidence of multimerization. In this article, we characterize the Haemophilus influenzae HMW1B protein, an Omp85-Iike protein that has been demonstrated to be critical for secretion of the H. influenzae HMW1 adhesin. Analysis of purified protein by biochemical and electron microscopic techniques revealed that HMW1B forms a tetramer. Examination using liposome- swelling assays demonstrated that HMW1B has pore-forming activity, with a pore size of ≈2.7 nm. Far-Western blot analysis established that HMW1B interacts with the N terminus of HMW1. These results provide evidence that a bacterial Omp85-like protein forms a tetramer and interacts directly with a substrate protein, suggesting that the architecture and physical properties of Omp85-like proteins have been conserved throughout evolution.

The refined structures for all three polycrystalline samples corroborate those of corresponding single crystals determined previously with X-ray single crystal diffraction. Studies directed at the formation of Mg2.5+xV1+2xMo1-2xO8 (x=0, ±0.02 and ±0.04) demonstrate that the phase begins to form at an appreciable rate at 1173 K, which is approximately 250 K below its melting point.

Two solid solutions exist in the Y5SixGe4-x system: alloys with x varying from 4 to 3.5 have the monoclinic Gd5Si2Ge2-type structure, and alloys with x varying from 3.0 to 0 have the orthorhombic Sm5Ge4-type crystal structure. Low temperature heat capacity data indicate the absence of structural transitions below room temperature. The existence and terminations of the solid solution regions of the four structures which occur in the R5SixGe4-x systems, where R is a rare earth element, correlate with the radius ratio of the R metal divided by the weight average radius of the Si and Ge atoms in the given phase.

This represents a serious impediment to accurate modelling of the dynamics and to the development of reduced-order, finite element models capable of describing the effects of mechanical joints on the dynamics. In this work we provide an experimental study to quantify the non-linear effects of a typical shear lap joint on the dynamics of two structures: a beam with a bolted joint in its center; and a frame with a bolted joint in one of its members. Both structures are subjected to a variety of dynamical tests to determine the non-linear effects of the joints. The tests reveal several important influences on the effective stiffness and damping of the lap joints. The possibility of using Iwan models to represent the experimentally observed joint effects is discussed.

Using X-ray crystallographic studies, a variety of solid- and solution-state characterization techniques, and DFT calculations, these features were attributed to the presence of weak &pie;-typeη¹-arene interactions in 3a-c.

Among salt hydrates likely to be present, those of the MgSO4·nH2O series have many hydration states. Here we report the exposure of several of these phases to varied temperature, pressure and humidity to constrain their possible H2O contents under martian surface conditions. We found that crystalline structure and H2O content are dependent on temperature-pressure history, that an amorphous hydrated phase with slow dehydration kinetics forms at<1% relative humidity, and that equilibrium calculations may not reflect the true H2O-bearing potential of martian soils. Mg sulphate salts can retain sufficient H2O to explain a portion of the Odyssey observations. Because phases in the MgSO4·nH2O system are sensitive to temperature and humidity, they can reveal much about the history of water on Mars. However, their ease of transformation implies that salt hydrates collected on Mars will not be returned to Earth unmodified, and that accurate in situ analysis is imperative.

However, some theoretical models have also suggested that compressed hydrogen may form an unusual two-component (protons and electrons) metallic fluid at low temperature, or possibly even a zero-temperature liquid ground state. The existence of these new states of matter is conditional on the presence of a maximum in the melting temperature versus pressure curve (the‘melt line’). Previous measurements of the hydrogen melt line up to pressures of 44?GPa have led to controversial conclusions regarding the existence of this maximum. Here we report ab initio calculations that establish the melt line up to 200?GPa. We predict that subtle changes in the intermolecular interactions lead to a decline of the melt line above 90?GPa. The implication is that as solid molecular hydrogen is compressed, it transforms into a low-temperature quantum fluid before becoming a monatomic crystal. The emerging low-temperature phase diagram of hydrogen and its isotopes bears analogies with the familiar phases of3He and4He (the only known zero-temperature liquids), but the long-range Coulomb interactions and the large component mass ratio present in hydrogen would result in dramatically different properties.

Our model leads to Cronin enhancement at mid-rapidity, while at forward rapidities it predicts strong suppression of at all due to low-x evolution. We demonstrate that our results are consistent with the data for dAu charged hadron spectra, and recently reported for rapidities in the interval by the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC. We also make a prediction for at mid-rapidity in pA collisions at the LHC.

Chem. Phys. 106, 5526 (1997)] for linear scaling computation of the Coulomb matrix. Equal time partition [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 9128 (2003)] is used to load balance computation of the Coulomb matrix. Equal time partition is a measurement based algorithm for domain decomposition that exploits small variation of the density between self-consistent-field cycles to achieve load balance. Efficiency of the equal time partition is illustrated by several tests involving both finite and periodic systems. It is found that equal time partition is able to deliver 91%–98% efficiency with 128 processors in the most time consuming part of the Coulomb matrix calculation. The current parallel quantum chemical tree code is able to deliver 63%–81% overall efficiency on 128 processors with fine grained parallelism (less than two heavy atoms per processor). © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

J. Harrison et al., J. Chem. Phys. (in press)] we reported an efficient, accurate multiresolution solver for the Kohn–Sham self-consisitent field (KS-SCF) method for general polyatomic molecules. This study presents an efficient numerical algorithm to evalute Hartree–Fock (HF) exchange in the multiresolution SCF method to solve the HF equations. The algorithm employs fast integral convolution with the Poission kernel in the nonstandard form, screening the sparse multiwavelet representation to compute results of the integral operator only where required by the nonlocal exchange operator. Localized molecular obitals are used to attain near linear scaling. Results for atoms and molecules demonstrate reliable precision and speed. Calculations for small water clusters demonstrate a total cost to compute the HF exchange potential for all nocc occpuied MOs scaling as O(nocc1.5). © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The low resistance to flow characteristic of monolithic columns, enabled the use of very high flow rates of up to 100 μL/min representing a flow velocity of 87 mm/s. Very good separations of a model protein mixture consisting of ribonuclease A, cytochrome c, myoglobin, and ovalbumin was achieved in less than 40 s using a very simple single step gradient of the mobile phase. Interestingly, no effect of the pore size on the separations of proteins was observed for these monolithic columns within the size range of 0.66–2.2 μm. The monolithic μHPLC columns are found very robust and no changes in the long term separation performance and back pressure were observed.

R-PE subunits were isolated by HPLC and detected as single molecules by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. The results show efficient absorption and fluorescence of the R-PE subunits and digest peptides, originating from the incorporation of phycoerythrobilin and phycourobilin chromophores in them. In addition, HPLC–ESI-MS and SDS–PAGE were optimized to determine the molecular masses of phycobiliprotein subunits and the chromophore-containing peptides, as well as the amino acid sequences of the latter. Favorable spectroscopic and structural properties of R-PE subunits and enzymatic digests, even under denaturing conditions, make these molecules suitable for use as fluorescence labels for biomolecules.

The energetics are refined using a restricted internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method at the complete basis set (CBS) limit. The CBS energy is extrapolated using the scheme of Halkier et al. with two large basis sets: aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ. The implications of our calculated results concerning the O(1D) + CH4 and OH + CH3 reactions are discussed. In addition, the O(1D) + CH4 reaction at a collision energy of 6.8 kcal/mol is investigated using a variant of the “scaling all correlation” (SAC) method of Truhlar et al. and the coupled-cluster double-excitation (CCD) method in a direct dynamics study with a D95(d,p) basis set. The results show that the O(1D) + CH4 → OH + CH3 reaction occurs both via direct and long-lived intermediate pathways. The differential cross section for the direct reaction to form OH is forward peaked with a nearly isotropic background. Finally, the branching fractions for OH, H, H2, and H2O are predicted to be 0.725:0.186:0.025:0.064.

The normal and superconducting state properties of PuCoGa5, when considered in the context of the isostructural family of unconventional superconductors CeMIn5, suggest that superconductivity in it as well as in recently discovered PuRhGa5 is unconventional.

The temperature evolution starts around 200 K, well above the superconducting transition temperature. This phonon anomaly provides strong evidence for large electron–phonon coupling. It also indicates an incipient charge density wave instability within the CuO2 planes reminiscent of dynamical charge stripes. The magnetic fluctuations have been investigated in great detail on the same sample. Incommensurate spin fluctuations have been observed for energies both below and above the energy of the resonance peak at E=41 meV. However, the dispersive nature of these fluctuations as well as their apparent isotropy in the basal plane speak against an interpretation of the spin fluctuation spectrum in the framework of the classical stripe phase picture.

At very low c-axis fields we observe a novel 1D vortex chain state where all pancake vortex (PV) stacks become trapped on underlying stacks of Josephson vortices (JVs). In this regime distortions of the JV lattice, induced by varying , enable the indirect manipulation of PVs trapped on them. Preliminary results of experiments are presented in which we have attempted to realise a vortex `lens'' based on this vortex `pump'' principle. The existence of 1D vortex chains also explains many of the features observed in the magnetisation of BSCCO under strongly tilted magnetic fields. Finally we demonstrate how the presence of quenched disorder leads to indirect JV pinning via interactions with weakly pinned PV stacks and show how fragmentation of both PV and JV stacks can occur when stacks of JVs `decorated'' with PVs are forced abruptly through regions of disorder.

The approach pursued at American Superconductor for 2G wire manufacturing is based on the combination of the RABiTSTM substrate–buffer technology with metal organic deposition (MOD) of the YBCO layer. This MOD/RABiTSTM approach has been demonstrated in 10 m lengths with critical currents of up to 184 A/cm-width (∼2.3 MA/cm2) and in short length with critical currents of up to 270 A/cm-width (∼3.4 MA/cm2). In addition to a high critical current, the superconducting wire must also meet stringent mechanical and electrical stability requirements that vary by application. Commercially viable architectures designed to meet these specifications have been fabricated and tested. Wires manufactured by this process have been successfully tested in prototype cable and coil applications.

This peak arises from correlated pinning associated to intrinsic pinning by the layered structure of the YBCO, and from extended planar defects. We measure films produced by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and metal organic deposition (MOD) on ion beam assisted deposition––MgO, and by PLD on single crystalline substrates. We show that the width and height of the peak increases with the out-of-plane mosaic spread of the films. We discuss the implications of the different structures (columnar and laminar respectively) of the PLD and MOD films.

We report the critical current Ic and current–voltage power law n value as a function of magnetic field at temperatures of 75–64 K for the coil and for a short sample taken from the coil. A novel apparatus using permanent magnets is used to apply a magnetic field in the coil radial direction. Both the coil and short sample show a strong enhancement in Ic for magnetic fields along the c axis (tape normal or radial direction for the coil) compared to the performance of unirradiated tape. These results represent the first time a real superconducting device has been irradiated with high energy protons for the purpose of introducing splayed columnar defects to enhance performance.

The modulator design benefits from several advantages of superconducting electronics: high-Q resonators, fast Josephson comparators, naturally quantized single flux quantum pulses, and high circuit sensitivity. The measured center frequency (2.23 GHz), sampling rate (up to 45 GHz), dynamic range (greater than 57 dB over a 19.6 MHz bandwidth), and input sensitivity (-17.4 dBm full-scale) of the bandpass modulator are the highest reported to date in any technology. The SNR (49 dB over a 20.8 MHz bandwidth) is limited by the frequency resolution of the measurement but still exceeds the SNRs of semiconductor modulators with comparable center frequencies. The design of the modulator test chip and the high speed testing methodology are reviewed. Finally, the paper examines the prospects for improved performance with more advanced modulator architectures.

These methods use various particles: electrons, hard X-ray photons, gamma photons, or neutrons to image the atoms. Although the practical realisation of the various imaging experiments is very different, there is a common thread; the use of inside reference points for holographic imaging. In this paper, we outline the basics of atomic resolution holography using inside reference points, with particular emphasis on the hard X-ray case. Furthermore, we outline the experimental requirements and what has been practically realized in the last decade. Lastly, we give examples of applications and future perspectives.

The fixed charges and electrostatic double layers that may associate with microbial polysaccharides and their effects on ion diffusion were explicitly built into the model. The model extends a common multicomponent ion diffusion formulation that is based on irreversible thermodynamics under a zero ionic charge flux condition, which is only applicable to the regions without fixed charges and electrostatic double layers. An efficient numerical procedure was presented to solve the differential equations in the model. The model well described key features of experimental observations of ion diffusion in negatively charged microbial polysaccharides including accelerated diffusive transport of cations, exclusion of anions, and increased rate of cation transport with increasing negative charge density. The simulated diffusive fluxes of cations and anions were consistent with a cation exchange diffusion concept in negatively charged polysaccharides at the interface of plant roots and soils; and the developed model allows to mathematically study such diffusion phenomena. An illustrative example was also provided to simulate dynamic behavior of ionic current during ion diffusion within a charged bacterial cell wall polysaccharide and the effects of the ionic current on the compression or expansion of the bacterial electrostatic double layer at the interface of the cell wall and bulk solution.

Computer simulations will demonstrate that the implicitly balanced solution obtained from the JFNK method is more accurate than traditional approaches that employ operator splitting and linearizing. Results will also indicate that by employing a physics-based preconditioner the implicitly balanced solution can provide a more accurate solution for the same amount of computer time compared to the traditional approach for solving these equations. Finally, convergence plots will show that as the transient time lengthens, the implicitly balanced solution can maintain this higher level of accuracy at much larger time steps.

The data arc analysed in terms of the trends observed in the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) parameters, the feature which dominates the measured neutron spectra. The neutron FSDP position, height and width are compared to literature data for supercooled water, water under pressure and to the same parameters obtained for recently discovered intermediate density amorphous ices. It is found that the FSDP parameters in supercooled water and the amorphous ices generally exhibit a similar behaviour, suggesting a new structural regime may occur in deeply, supercooled water below Qo∼1.83 Å-1 (T∼251K) associated with increased intermediate range ordering. It is argued that this structural regime may be linked to a similar trend in the density which appears when the density is plotted as a function of FSDP position. A detailed comparison of the neutron and X-ray structure factors for supercooled water and intermediate density amorphous ices with the same FSDP positions is also made. The diffraction data show that although the overall general structures are qualitatively very similar, the amorphous ice correlations are considerably sharper and extend to much higher radial distances.

With this modification, which preserves the morphology of the surface, imaging with atomic resolution by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) becomes possible. STM imaging is used to demonstrate surface smoothing by a thin (few monolayers) Si buffer at high temperature. Tunneling spectroscopy shows a high sheet resistance of the SOI sample, caused by a partial dewetting of the oxide supported Si template during thermal surface cleaning. High-resolution imaging and spectroscopy by STM will enable studies, at the atomic scale, of technologically relevant processes on ultrathin SOI.

Upon annealing at the growth temperature of 550°C, these pits elongate in one of the <100> directions and obtain near-{105} facets. The length-to-width aspect ratio of the resulting grooves can be as large as 20. Material ejected from the pits accumulates along the sides of the elongated pit forming shallow islands with a shape that exhibits a monotonic dependence on island size, and eventually evolves to {105} facets. We discuss the origins of this roughening behavior, which may provide a route for self-assembly of highly anisotropic quantum nanostructures.

The stimulation of the coherences was achieved using a single non-selective resonant RF pulse. This is unusual because stimulation of such coherences from a spin system at thermal equilibrium in high field would normally require a minimum of two pulses. A density matrix analysis, combined with a time-resolved study of the build-up of the double quantum coherence in GaAs, suggests that the enhancement of the double quantum coherence amplitude stems from optical pumping of dipolar nuclear spin order.

We study how the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarized signal, consisting ofEandBmodes, can be extracted from maps affected by substantial contamination from diffuse Galactic foreground emission and instrumental noise. We implement Monte Carlo chains varying the CMB and noise realizations in order to asses the average capabilities of the algorithm and their variance. We perform the analysis of all-sky maps simulated according to thePlancksatellite capabilities, modelling the sky signal as a superposition of the CMB and of the existing simulated polarization templates of Galactic synchrotron. Our results indicate that the angular power spectrum of CMBEmode can be recovered on all scales up to, corresponding to the fourth acoustic oscillation, while theB-mode power spectrum can be detected, up to its turnover at, if the ratio of tensor to scalar contributions to the temperature quadrupole exceeds 30 per cent. The power spectrum of the cross-correlation between total intensity and polarization,TE, can be recovered up to, corresponding to the seventhTEacoustic oscillation.

In ionization cooling, particles pass through a material medium and lose energy (momentum) through ionization interactions, and this is followed by beam reacceleration in RF cavities. The cooling can be sufficient to enable use of muons in high-intensity neutrino factories or high-luminosity μ+-μ- colliders. The status of μ-cooling research is discussed.

In this paper, we briefly review the general formalism as well as the specific theories for a quadrupole channel and a bent-solenoidal channel with symmetric focusing. These channels play important roles in the design of cooling channels for the envisioned neutrino factories and muon colliders. The analytical solutions of these channels are relatively simple yet provide good understanding of cooling and heating mechanisms in both transverse and longitudinal phase spaces. Furthermore, the resulting formulae can be used to evaluate cooling channel designs the same way as the radiation integrals are used in storage ring designs.

This electron cooler prototype will not demonstrate the actual cooling but it would allow to determine if the electron beam properties are suitable for antiproton beam cooling. An electron beam is accelerated by a 5-MV Pelletron (Van de Graaff type) accelerator and transported to a prototype cooling section. The cooling would take place in a 20-m long solenoid flanked on both sides by supply and return beam-lines—a total of 60 m of transport channel.

The breakthroughs of recent years: realization of beam energy recovery in superconducting linear accelerators; flat to round beam transformations; and new beam transport concepts (discontinuous solenoid, circulator rings, hollow beams, dispersive cooling); have promoted the feasibility of efficient electron cooling of intense high energy hadron beams. Electron cooling, in cooperation with strong SRF fields in storage rings, will allow one to obtain very short hadron bunches, as result of which the luminosity can be raised by making a low beta-star. Short bunches also would make feasible crab crossing, that allows one to remove the parasitic beam–beam interactions and maximize the collision rate. Cooling also results in flatness of uncoupled beam equilibrium; this can be used to diminish the IBS impact on luminosity. The staged cooling agenda will be discussed and illustrated. Evaluation of these advances leads one to consider that luminosity levels (in units of cm-2s-1) of 1035 in future electron–ion colliders at the hadron energy up to 150 GeV and 1037 in hadron colliders at the energy range 1–7 TeV might be feasible.

The emittance growth from IBS determines the ultimate luminosity lifetime and the only cure is cooling. Full-energy electron cooling will be installed to not only control emittance growth but also reduce emittances during a store. Before that, stochastic cooling could increase integrated luminosity by momentum cooling.Two significant benefits would follow; the average luminosity in a 10h store would double, and the problem of coasting beam in the abort gap would be solved. Of course high-frequency bunched beam stochastic cooling is required and previous attempts at this at the TEVATRON and SPS were not successful. It appears that the conditions in the heavy ion collider are more favorable. First, the high charge state of ions gives better signal to noise ratio in the Schottky signal. Second, the anomalous coherent components in the pick up signals that caused saturation in the electronics in previous attempts are greatly reduced.

T1 - Six-dimensional muon beam cooling in a continuous, homogeneous, gaseous hydrogen absorber JO - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A JF - Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section A Y1 - 2004/10/11/ VL - 532 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 470 EP - 473 SN - 01689002 AB - The fast reduction of the six-dimensional phase space of muon beams is required for muon colliders and is also of great importance for neutrino factories based on accelerated muon beams. Ionization cooling, where all momentum components are degraded by an energy absorbing material and only the longitudinal momentum is restored by RF cavities, provides a means to quickly reduce transverse beam sizes. However, the beam momentum spread cannot be reduced by this method unless the longitudinal emittance can be transformed or exchanged into the transverse emittance. The best emittance exchange plans up to now have been accomplished by using magnets to disperse the beam along the face of a wedge-shaped absorber such that higher momentum particles pass through thicker parts of the absorber and thus suffer larger ionization energy loss. In the scheme advocated in this paper, it is noted that one can generate a magnetic channel filled with absorber where higher momentum corresponds to a longer path length and therefore larger ionization energy loss. Thus a homogeneous absorber, without any special edge shaping, can provide the desired emittance exchange. An attractive example of a cooling channel based on this principle involves the use of RF cavities filled with a continuous gaseous hydrogen absorber in a magnetic channel composed of a solenoidal field with superimposed helical transverse dipole, quadrupole, and octupole fields. The theory of this helical channel is described to support the analytical prediction of a million-fold reduction in phase space volume in a channel 150 m long.

Derivatization between the TFAA and hydroxyl functionalities produced during thermo-oxidative aging was achieved, resulting in the formation of trifluoroester groups on the polymer. Primary and secondary alcohols were confirmed to be the main oxidation products of this material, and the total percent oxidation correlated with data obtained from oxidation rate measurements. The chemical derivatization appears to be highly sensitive and can be used to establish the presence and identity of oxidation products in aged polymeric materials. This methodology represents a novel condition monitoring approach for the detection of chemical changes that are otherwise difficult to analyze.

Additionally, using a Split-Hopkinson pressure bar, a temperature compression series was undertaken between -100 and 150°C at a strain rate of 3200s-1. To investigate the small-strain response, strain gauges were used to measure axial and transverse strain allowing the Poisson ratio to be quantified. As expected, the mechanical properties were found to be strongly affected by strain-rate and temperature. Moduli were found by several methods and the trend, with respect to temperature, lends weight to the suggestion that the glass-transition temperature of PTFE is ≉-100°C. The physical properties of the sintered PTFE were measured and the crystallinities measured by several techniques.

One is the origin of the (very tiny) neutrino masses themselves, and the other is related to understanding why leptonic mixing is very “different” from quark mixing. Several different attempts which make use of several different grand-unified and/or family symmetries are well-documented and all explain the current data. They do differ, however, on what is predicted for the still-to-be-measured |Ue3| element of the leptonic mixing matrix. More importantly (in my opinion), I’ll advocate that measuring |Ue3| will help indicate whether there is indeed a hint for “symmetry” in the leptonic mixing matrix, or whether it is consistent with a random unitary matrix. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This proton source could produce a conventional neutrino beam with a very significant flux at large distances from the laboratory. In this paper we examine the possibility of using this neutrino beam for a very long baseline oscillation experiment where a 500 kiloton water Cherenkov detector is situated at the Homestake mine in South Dakota. We study the physics potential of a high intensity neutrino oscillation experiment with a 2540 km baseline and a peak neutrino energy of ∼1 GeV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This means that charged-lepton flavor violating processes (CLFV) including rare muon and tau decays (e.g. μ → eγ, τ → μe+e-) are, in principle, observable. I review some phenomenological aspects of CLFV (concentrating on rare muon processes) and briefly discuss a few Standard Model extensions that predict a “large” rate for CLFV. In several of these extensions there are deep relations between the physics that generates neutrino masses and mixing and CLFV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The data also suggests that the muon beam can possibly be captured into a smaller emittance if a higher field strength is used in the decay channel solenoids. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In the presented scenario, acceleration starts after ionization cooling at 250 MeV/c and proceeds to 20 GeV, where the beam is injected into a neutrino factory storage ring. The key technical issues are addressed; such as: the choice of acceleration technology (superconducting versus normal conducting) and the choice of RF frequency, and finally, implementation of the overall acceleration scheme: capture, acceleration, transport and preservation of large phase space of fast decaying species. Beam transport issues for large-momentum-spread beams are accommodated by appropriate lattice design choices. The proposed arc optics is further optimized with a sextupole correction to suppress chromatic effects contributing to emittance dilution. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

However, the latter type model has several unattractive instabilities which will disfavor any grand unified type I seesaw model, if an inverted neutrino mass hierarchy is observed experimentally. This should be contrasted with the softly-broken –– flavor symmetry models which are eliminated, if the data favors a normal mass hierarchy.

Single crystal specimens of Fe-17 at.% Ga were tested in tension at room temperature. Specimens with a [110] tensile axis orientation exhibited {110}〈111〉 slip and an ultimate tensile strength of 580 MPa through 1.6% elongation. The Young’s modulus was 160 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson’s ratio of −0.37 on the (100) major face. A specimen with a [100] tensile axis orientation exhibited {211}〈111〉 slip and discontinuous yielding. A maximum tensile strength of 515 MPa was observed with fracture occurring after 2% elongation. The Young’s modulus was 65 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson’s ratio of 0.45 on the (001) major face. A sizeable elastic anisotropy of 19.9 was identified for Fe-27.2 at.% Ga accompanied by a Poisson’s ratio of −0.75 to produce a large in-plane auxetic behavior.

Electrokinetic forces were used to mobilize the sample and control diffusive transport at a cross intersection to produce sample plugs of short axial extent in an analysis channel similar to the standard pinched valve. The addition of a tee intersection in the sample channel maintained the sample close to the injection valve under "pullback" conditions allowing more rapid loading into the cross intersection. A second tee intersection allowed unidirectional transport in the analysis channel enabling loading of subsequent injections during an analysis. The two tee intersections were each located 80 μm from the cross intersection. Injection frequencies of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 Hz were tested with a duty cycle of 0.5 for sample loading and dispensing. With 1 kV applied to the microchip during dispensing, the relative standard deviation of the peak areas for 15 injections was 1.6%. The peak width (4σ) for the repetitive injections increased from 71 to 96 μm compared to a standard pinched injection due to the presence of the tee intersection in the analysis channel.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from combustion sources fall into this category. Currently available ambient-air emission inventories of PAHs either fail to account for population-based activities, such as residential wood combustion (RWC) and motor vehicle (MV) activity, and/or report “total PAH” or particulate organic matter emissions, instead of individual compound emissions. We assess the degree of overlap between predicted concentrations from estimated emissions with measured concentrations. Our analysis is based on probabilistic analysis of measured outdoor air concentrations with those predicted from mass-balance models. Based on available information, we estimate the relative magnitude of emissions from three major sources of PAHs to outdoor air: (1) on-road MVs, including light-duty gasoline vehicles and diesel-powered buses and medium and heavy-duty trucks; (2) RWC; and (3) power generation from external combustion boilers. We use the CalTOX regional multimedia mass-balance model to evaluate our emissions estimates in rural and urban regions of the state of Minnesota, USA. We compare model estimates of outdoor PAH airborne concentrations with those reported by the Minnesota Children''s Pesticide Exposure Study (MNCPES). With these measured concentrations we probabilistically evaluate the reliability of our emissions estimates for specific PAHs. The median estimates of our predicted outdoor air concentrations agree within an order of magnitude of measured concentrations. For four representative PAHs, we obtain a reasonable degree of overlap between empirical and predicted distributions of outdoor air concentrations. Our combination of models, emissions estimates, and empirical concentration data estimate exposure in a manner that is more reliable than any of these tools alone. Thereby, we increase our confidence about our plausible ranges of emissions and predicted concentrations.

Diffusion-controlled fractionation of noble gases is modeled and examined as an explanation for the absolute and relative abundances of noble gases observed in sediments. Since the physical properties of the noble gases are strong functions of atomic mass, the individual diffusion coefficients, adsorption coefficients and atomic radii combine to impede heavy noble gas (Xe) diffusion relative to light noble gas (Ne) diffusion. Filling of lithic grains/half-spaces by diffusive processes thus produces Ne enrichments in the early and middle stages of the process with F(Ne) values similar to that observed in volcanic glasses. Emptying lithic grains/half-spaces produces a Xe-enriched residual in the late (but not final) stages of the process producing F(Xe) values similar to that observed in shales. ‘Exotic …but unexceptional’ shales that exhibit both F(Ne) and F(Xe) enrichments can be produced by incomplete emptying followed by incomplete filling. This mechanism is consistent with literature-reported noble gas abundance patterns but may still require a separate mechanism for strong retention. A system of labyrinths-with-constrictions and/or C- and Si-nanotubes when combined with simple adsorption can result in stronger diffusive separation and nonsteady-state enrichments that persist for longer times. Enhanced adsorption to multiple C atoms inside C-nanotubes as well as dangling functional groups closing the ends of nanotubes can provide potential mechanisms for ‘strong retention’. We need new methods of examining noble gases in rocks to determine the role and function of angstrom-scale structures in both the diffusive enrichment process and the ‘strong retention’ process for noble gas abundances in terrestrial rocks.

The cells contained a LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2-based positive electrode, a graphite-based negative electrode, and a LiPF6-bearing ethylene carbonate: ethyl methyl carbonate (EC:EMC) electrolyte. The cells were prepared and tested in an argon-atmosphere glove box to minimize the impact of moisture and oxygen. The reference electrode was prepared from a 25μm-diameter, tin-coated copper wire; in situ lithiation produced a LixSn (x ∼ 4.4) alloy that displayed a relatively stable voltage at room temperature. The impedance data obtained from these measurements were reproducible and self-consistent. Data from cells aged at 55°C showed that the positive electrode impedance increase was the main contributor to cell impedance rise, especially during the first month of aging.

Although no precise analog of Hill’s result is available for the opposite case of uniform bulk modulus and varying shear modulus, it is shown here that some similar statements can be made for shear behavior of random polycrystals composed of laminates of isotropic materials. In particular, the Hashin-Shtrikman-type bounds of Peselnick, Meister, and Watt for random polycrystals composed of hexagonal (transversely isotropic) grains are applied to the problem of polycrystals of laminates. An exact product formula relating the Reuss estimate of bulk modulus and an effective shear modulus (of laminated grains composing the system) to products of the eigenvalues for quasicompressional and quasiuniaxial shear eigenvectors also plays an important role in the analysis of the overall shear behavior of the random polycrystal. When the bulk modulus is uniform in such a system, the equations are shown to reduce to a simple form that depends prominently on the uniaxial shear eigenvalue—as expected from physical arguments concerning the importance of uniaxial shear in these systems. Applications of the analytical results presented here include benchmarking of numerical procedures used for studying elastic behavior of complex composites, and estimating coefficients needed in upscaled equations for elasticity and/or poroelasticity of heterogeneous systems.

Silica was implanted with 35 keV Co+ ion beams to doses ranging from 8×1015 to 1×1017 atoms/cm2. Nanoparticle size, distribution, and structure were ascertained via transmission electron microscopy measurements, which reveal the presence of spherical nanoparticles in both as-implanted and annealed samples. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show the chemical state of the nanoparticles in both as-implanted and annealed samples to be metallic. Temperature-dependent field-cooled and zero-field-cooled, susceptibility measurements indicated superparamagnetic behavior, which is analyzed by accounting for the size dispersion of the nanoparticles. Results showed that the magnetic properties of the specimen can be tailored by implantation conditions. Annealing in vacuum at 900 °C for up to 10 h leads to an increase of the average nanoparticle size and a broader size distribution. Mie scattering and magnetic force microscopy measurements provide evidence of a strong interaction among the nanoparticles in the annealed samples. The feasibility of obtaining small-dispersion size-controlled synthesis of Co nanoparticles at room temperature is illustrated.

For the cases considered the dot thickness is comparable to the material exchange length and dot radii are in the submicron range. The equation for the vortex magnetization distribution is analyzed taking exact account of the magnetostatic field inside dot. The limitations and applicability of a previously proposed “exchange-dominated” vortex ansatz are discussed. It is shown that for the transition from the vortex to perpendicular single-domain state the magnetization distribution changes continuously while retaining the axial symmetry. The zero-field critical line of the transition is calculated analytically as a function of dot size and is compared with micromagnetic simulations of the vortex magnetization profile.

The variables studied were pulse duration and power density. After welding, concentrations of iron, manganese, chromium, and nickel were determined at various locations of the microjoint using the electron microprobe analysis. The temperature field was simulated as a function of time from a well-tested three-dimensional transient heat transfer and fluid flow model. Using the computed temperature fields, vaporization rates of various alloying elements resulting from both concentration and pressure driven transport of vapors and the resultant composition change of the alloy were calculated. The calculations showed that the vaporization took place mainly from a small region near the center of the beam-workpiece interaction zone, where the temperatures were very high. Furthermore, the alloying element vaporization was most pronounced toward the end of the pulse. After the laser spot welding, the concentrations of manganese and chromium in the weld pool decreased, whereas the concentrations of iron and nickel increased. The composition changes predicted by the model were in fair agreement with the corresponding experimental results for various conditions of microjoining with short duration pulses.

Theoretical treatments predict that the radiation emitted by each volume element of the superluminally moving distribution pattern will comprise a Cˇerenkov-like envelope with two sheets that meet along a cusp. Correspondingly, the emission from the experimental machine is found to be tightly beamed in both the azimuthal and polar directions. The beaming is frequency independent and has a sharply defined and unchanging geometry determined only by the speed and path of the moving distribution pattern, i.e., by the parameters governing the structure of the Cˇerenkov-like envelopes. In addition, over a restricted range of angles, we detect the presence of cusps in the emitted radiation. These, which are due to the focusing of wave fronts on a propagating space curve, result in the reception, during a short time period, of radiation emitted over a considerably longer period of (retarded) source time. The intensity of the radiation at these angles was observed to decline more slowly with increasing distance from the source than would the emission from a conventional antenna. The angular distribution of the emitted radiation and the properties associated with the cusps are in good quantitative agreement with theoretical models of superluminal sources once the effect of reflections from the earth’s surface are taken into account. In particular, the prediction that the beaming and the slow decay should extend into the far zone has been tested to several hundred Fresnel distances (Rayleigh ranges). The excellent agreement between the theoretical calculations and the data suggests that the apparatus achieves precise and reproducible control of the polarization current and that similar machines could be of general interest for studying and utilizing the novel...

Of the protein-coding genes (open reading frames [ORFs]), 44% were assigned a function, 48% were conserved but had unknown or uncertain functions, and 7.5% (129 ORFs) were unique to M. maripaludis. Of the unique ORFs, 27 were confirmed to encode proteins by the mass spectrometric identification of unique peptides. Genes for most known functions and pathways were identified. For example, a full complement of hydrogenases and methanogenesis enzymes was identified, including eight selenocysteine-containing proteins, with each being paralogous to a cysteine-containing counterpart. At least 59 proteins were predicted to contain iron-sulfur centers, including ferredoxins, polyferredoxins, and subunits of enzymes with various redox functions. Unusual features included the absence of a Cdc6 homolog, implying a variation in replication initiation, and the presence of a bacterial-like RNase HI as well as an RNase 1111 typical of the Archaea. The presence of alanine dehydrogenase and alanine racemase, which are uniquely present among the Archaea, explained the ability of the organism to use L- and D-alanine as nitrogen sources. Features that contrasted with the related organism Methanocaldococcus jannaschii included the absence of inteins, even though close homologs of most inteincontaining proteins were encoded. Although two-thirds of the ORFs had their highest Blastp hits in Methano- caldococcus janneaschij, lateral gene transfer or gene loss has apparently resulted in genes, which are often clustered, with top Blastp hits in more distantly related groups.

Two oligodeoxynucleotides of identical sequence, but containing either 2-aminoimidazolone or 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole at a specific site, were ligated into single-stranded M13mp7L2 bacteriophage genomes. Wild-type AB1157 Escherichia coli cells were transformed with the site-specific 2-aminoimidazolone- and 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole-containing genomes, and analysis of the resulting progeny phage allowed determination of the in vivo bypass efficiencies and mutational signatures of the DNA lesions. 2-Aminoimidazolone was efficiently bypassed and 91% mutagenic, producing almost exclusively G to C transversion mutations. In contrast, 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole was a strong block to replication and 50% mutagenic, generating G to A, G to T, and to a lesser extent, G to C mutations. The G to A mutation elicited by 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole implicates this lesion as a novel source of peroxynitrite-induced transition mutations in vivo. For comparison, the error-prone bypass DNA polymerases were overexpressed in the cells by irradiation with UV light (SOS induction) prior to transformation. SOS induction caused little change in the efficiency of DNA polymerase bypass of 2-aminoimidazolone; however, bypass of 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole increased nearly 10-fold. Importantly, the mutation frequencies of both lesions decreased during replication in SOS-induced cells. These data suggest that 2-aminoimidazolone and 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole in DNA are substrates for one or more of the SOS-induced Y-family DNA polymerases and demonstrate that 2-aminoimidazolone and 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole are potent sources of mutations in vivo.

Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β) plays an important role in cell differentiation and vascular remodeling. We showed that TGF-β induced cell morphology change and an increase in actin fibers in MSCs. To determine the global effects of TGF-β on MSCs, we employed a proteomic strategy to analyze the effect of TGF-β on the human MSC proteome. By using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and electrospray ionization coupled to quadrupole/time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometers, we have generated a proteome reference map of MSCs, and we identified ∼30 proteins with an increase or decrease in expression or phosphorylation in response to TGF-β. The proteins regulated by TGF-β included cytoskeletal proteins, matrix synthesis proteins, membrane proteins, metabolic enzymes, etc. TGF-β increased the expression of smooth muscle α-actin and decreased the expression of gelsolin. Overexpression of gelsolin inhibited TGF-β-induced assembly of smooth muscle α-actin; on the other hand, knocking down gelsolin expression enhanced the assembly of α-actin and actin filaments without significantly affecting α-actin expression. These results suggest that TGF-β coordinates the increase of α-actin and the decrease of gelsolin to promote MSC differentiation. This study demonstrates that proteomic tools are valuable in studying stem cell differentiation and elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10/15/ VL - 279 IS - 42 M3 - Article SP - 43799 EP - 43804 SN - 00219258 AB - Telomeres are protective structures at chromosome ends and are crucial for genomic stability. Mammalian TRF1 and TRF2 bind the double-stranded telomeric repeat sequence and in turn are bound by TIN2, TANK1, TANK2, and hRAP1. TRF1 is a negative regulator of telomere length in telomerase-positive cells, whereas TRF2 is important for telomere capping. TIN2 was identified as a TRF1-interacting protein that mediates TRF1 function. We show here that TIN2 also interacts with TRF2 in vitro and in yeast and mammalian cells. TIN2 mutants defective in binding of TRF1 or TRF2 induce a DNA damage response and destabilize TRF1 and TRF2 at telomeres in human cells. Our findings suggest that the functions of TRF1 and TRF2 are linked by TIN2.

Although in Saccharomyces cerevisiae GIN4-related kinases influence septin ring organization and septin rings influence the localization and function of GIN4-related protein kinases, it is unknown whether this relationship is conserved in S. pombe. Here, we have probed the relationship between Cdr2p activity and septins and find that Cdr2p and septins are functionally independent. Cdr2p localizes in a cortical band overlying the nucleus during interphase, whose dimension is proportional to cell length, and to a medial ring structure in late mitosis. Both localizations are septin-independent and disrupted by treatment with filipin. Structure/function analysis indicates that the intracellular targeting domain of Cdr2p is largely contained within its non-catalytic C-terminus. Cdr2 protein kinase activity, while unimportant for its localization, is critical for its cell cycle function. Our data indicate that Cdr2p functions at two positions within the cell at discrete cell cycle stages to influence the timing of mitotic entry and cytokinesis, respectively.

The weight gain by the polymer increases with time t as t1/2 in agreement with Fickian diffusion for all cases studied, although the diffusivity is found to be strongly concentration dependent especially as one approaches the glass transition temperature of the polymer. The diffusivity as a function of solvent concentration determined using the one-dimensional Fick’s model of the diffusion equation is compared to the diffusivity calculated using the Darken equation from simulations of equilibrated solvent-polymer solutions. The diffusivity calculated using these two different approaches are in good agreement. The behavior of the diffusivity strongly depends on the state of the polymer and is related to the shape of the solvent concentration profile.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Two simulations of the global climate are conducted with fixed climatological sea surface temperatures: one including vegetation as a dynamic boundary condition, and the other keeping vegetation cover fixed. A comparison of the precipitation power spectra over land from these two simulations shows that dynamic interactions between the atmosphere and vegetation enhance precipitation variability at time scales from a decade to a century, while damping variability at shorter time scales. In these simulations, the two-way coupling between the atmosphere and the dynamic vegetation cover introduces persistent precipitation anomalies in several ecological transition zones: between forest and grasslands in the North American midwest, in southern Africa, and at the southern limit of the tropical forest in the Amazon basin, and between savanna and desert in the Sahel, Australia, and portions of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions contribute most to the long-term variability of the atmosphere–vegetation system. Slow changes in the vegetation cover, resulting from a “red noise” integration of high-frequency atmospheric variability, are responsible for generating this long-term variability. Lead and lag correlation between precipitation and vegetation leaf area index (LAI) shows that LAI influences precipitation in the following years, and vice versa. A mechanism involving changes in LAI resulting in albedo, roughness, and evapotranspiration changes is proposed.

A rigorous texture characterization method was used to analyze the crystal orientation distribution of the annealed FePd. As compared with annealing without magnetic field, the high magnetic field annealing increases the volume fraction of crystal grains with c-axis aligned along the annealing magnetic field direction. A corresponding uniaxial magnetic anisotropy was also observed in the magnetically annealed FePd alloy.

The atomic model of the protein shows a homodimeric association of two polypeptide chains, each containing an internal repeat of a ferredoxin-like βαββαβ fold, as seen in the ACT and RAM-domains. Each repeat shows a remarkable similarity to two members of the COG0011 domain family, the MTH1187 and YBL001c proteins, the crystal structures of which were recently solved by the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium. Two YkoF monomers form a tightly associated dimer, in which the amino acid residues forming the interface are conserved among family members. A putative small-ligand binding site was located within each repeat in a position analogous to the serine-binding site of the ACT-domain of the Escherichia coli phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase. Genetic data suggested that this could be a thiamin or HMP-binding site. Calorimetric data confirmed that YkoF binds two thiamin molecules with varying affinities and a thiamine–YkoF complex was obtained by co-crystallization. The atomic model of the complex was refined using data to 2.3Å resolution and revealed a unique H-bonding pattern that constitutes the molecular basis of specificity for the HMP moiety of thiamin.

For all glasses the average Zn–O coordination number NZn–O is around five (4.5–4.9) as distorted (4+1) environment. Although no abrupt change in NZn–O between the nearly meta- and orthophosphate compositions is observed, the mean value and distribution of Zn–O distances slightly increases with an increase in the ZnO content. The distorted five-coordinations of Zn–O may be regarded as the mixture of ZnO4 tetrahedra and ZnO5 polyhedra. The Zn cation plays a typical role as a network-modifier in the process of the depolymerization PO4 tetrahedral network on the one hand, and may act as a network-former for linking the ZnO4 and PO4 tetrahedra on the other hand. The presence of the two kinds of intermediate-range ordering corresponding to PO4–PO4 linkage and ZnO4–PO4 connections is revealed by application of the reverse Monte Carlo modeling of the neutron and X-ray diffraction data. The enhancement of density fluctuation about the size of a few nanometers in small-angle neutron scattering region (Q∼0.2Å−1) arisen at near 60mol% ZnO suggests that there are diverse stages in the intermediate-range structure composed of PO4 and ZnO4 tetrahedra and ZnO5 polyhedra depending on the compositions. These results demonstrated that the phosphate glass anomaly and the peculiar property for zinc phosphate glasses such as a behavior of glass transition temperature Tg should be understood in terms of not only the depolymerization of network composed of PO4 tetrahedra but also the stability of the chemical ordering of PO4 tetrahedra and ZnOx polyhedra.

A variety of functional groups were incorporated into the alkene, including esters, nitriles, acetals, and phthalimide. Furthermore, the heterocycle tolerated substitution with both electron-rich and electron-deficient groups. The intermolecular coupling became possible after it was discovered that weak acids dramatically increase the rate of both the inter- and intramolecular reactions. An extensive optimization of additives was performed, and HCl·PCy3 (Cy = cyclohexyl) aztd HCI·P-t-Bu2Et were in general found to be the best additives for the reaction.

Polarizable potential models were used to describe interactions among species. We characterized the transport mechanism of an iodide anion across the methanol interface. The computed potential of mean force showed a relatively small minimum well depth (i.e., -0.60 kcal/mol) located inside the Gibbs dividing surface. During the constrained mean force simulations, we found the iodide anion carrying some methanol molecules with it as it crossed the dividing interface. The computed density profiles of the salt NaI methanol interface indicated that the iodide anions were found nearer to the interface than the sodium cations, and no well-defined maxima were found for neither ion near the interface. By comparing this result with the corresponding result obtained from a simulation of the NaI saltwater interface, we can conclude that the probability of finding iodide anions at the liquid/vapor of water interface is significantly greater than at the methanol interface.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/10/15/ VL - 108 IS - 42 M3 - Article SP - 9105 EP - 9114 SN - 10895639 AB - Picosecond geminate recombination kinetics for electrons generated by multiphoton ionization of liquid water become power dependent when the irradiance of the excitation light is greater than 0.3-0.5 TW/cm2 (the terawatt regime). To elucidate the mechanism of this power dependence, tri- 400 nm photon ionization of water has been studied using pump-probe laser spectroscopy on the pico- and femtosecond time scales. We suggest that the observed kinetic transformations are caused by a rapid temperature jump in the sample. Such a jump is inherent to multiphoton ionization in the terawatt regime, when the absorption of the pump light along the optical path becomes very nonuniform. The heating of water is substantial (tens of °C) because the 3-photon quantum yield of the ionization is relatively low, ca. 0.42, and a large fraction of the excitation energy is released into the solvent bulk as heat. Evidence of the temperature jump is the observation of a red shift in the absorption spectrum of (thermalized) electron and by characteristic “flattening” of the thermalization dynamics in the near-IR The temperature jump in the terawatt regime might be ubiquitous in multiphoton ionization of molecular liquids. The implications of these observations for femtosecond pulse radiolysis of water are discussed.

By utilizing 15N-enriched ammonia (15NH3) gas, the different adsorption/binding sites within the zeolite were characterized as a function of NH3 loading. Using 15N MAS NMR, multiple sites were resolved that have distinct cross-polarization dynamics, relaxation, and chemical shift behavior. A combination of 15N/23Na and 15N/27Al TRAPDOR NMR methods was used to demonstrate significant dipolar coupling between adsorbed ammonia molecules and both Na cations and Al framework species in the zeolite cage. An estimate of the 23Na-15N and 27Al-15N distance was obtained from simulation of the TRAPDOR results. Two-dimensional 1H → 15N CP-MAS NMR exchange spectroscopy was implemented to probe dynamics between the two primary adsorbed ammonia environments. In the 3A zeolite, the observed exchange process between the ammonia sites does not display a significant temperature dependence, indicating a spin-diffusion mechanism.

On this catalyst 2,4,6 TCP is used to confirm two distinct oxidative mechanisms that are triggered at different light-excitation wavelengths. A charge-transfer mechanism occurs at sub-bandgap energies of the photocatalyst leading to a phenoxyl radical product and an oxidative mechanism occurs at the bandgap leading to a semiquinone radical product. The wavelength dependence of these two mechanisms is discussed.

Different water coverages were considered, from 1/4 to a complete monolayer. Irrespective of coverage, we find that water dissociates on the silicon-terminated surfaces, leading to important changes in both its structural and electronic properties. On the contrary, the carbon-terminated surface remains inert when exposed to water. We propose experiments to reveal the ionic and electronic structure of wet Si-terminated surfaces predicted by our calculations, which at full coverage are notably different from those of hydrated Si(001) substrates. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for SiC surface functionalization.

In this system the horizontal unit vectors are oriented eastward and northward along the surfaces of ellipsoids, while the orthogonal unit vector is oriented vertically along the surfaces of intersecting confocal hyperboloids. Using the theory of orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, the spheroidal equations of relative atmospheric motion are derived from the vector equation of absolute motion. With the exception of two terms in the meridional and vertical equations of motion that are unique to the spheroidal system, all of the metric and rotational terms in the spheroidal system correspond to those found in the familiar spherical formulation, but now have coefficients that are functions of both the spheroidal latitude and elevation. The unique spheroidal terms arise from the resolution of the difference between the directions of apparent gravity and Newtonian gravitation, which is neglected in the spherical formulation. The complete spheroidal equations conserve both absolute angular momentum and total kinetic energy, and in the limit as Earth's focal distance or eccentricity approaches zero, reduce to the familiar spherical equations in both the general and hydrostatic cases. The differences between solutions of the spheroidal and spherical equations are not expected to be significant in most applications, although there is the possibility of the accumulation of systematic differences in long-term integrations.

To approach this problem we have utilized gel-free two-dimensional capillary liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance MS to identify and determine the relative abundances of viral and cellular proteins in purified HCMV AD169 virions and dense bodies. Analysis of the proteins from purified HCMV virion preparations has indicated that the particle contains significantly more viral proteins than previously known. In this study, we identified 71 HCMV.encoded proteins that included 12 proteins encoded by known viral open reading frames (ORFs) previously not associated with virions and 12 proteins from novel viral ORFs. Analysis of the relative abundance of HCMV proteins indicated that the predominant virion protein was the pp65 tegument protein and that gM rather than gB was the most abundant glycoprotein. We have also identified over 70 host cellular proteins in HCMV virions, which include cellular structural proteins, enzymes, and chaperones. In addition, analysis of HCMV dense bodies indicated that these viral particles are composed of 29 viral proteins with a reduced quantity of cellular proteins in comparison to HCMV virions. This study provides the first comprehensive quantitative analysis of the viral and cellular proteins that compose infectious particles of a large complex virus.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2004/10/15/ VL - 78 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 11340 EP - 11351 SN - 0022538X AB - Studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccines in animal models suggest that it is difficult to induce complete protection from infection (sterilizing immunity) but that it is possible to reduce the viral load and to slow or prevent disease progression following infection. We have developed an age-structured epidemiological model of the effects of a disease-modifying HIV vaccine that incorporates the intrahost dynamics of infection, a transmission rate and host mortality that depend on the viral load, the possible evolution and transmission of vaccine escape mutant viruses, a finite duration of vaccine protection, and possible changes in sexual behavior. Using this model, we investigated the long-term outcome of a disease-modifying vaccine and utilized uncertainty analysis to quantify the effects of our lack of precise knowledge of various parameters. Our results suggest that the extent of viral load reduction in vaccinated infected individuals (compared to unvaccinated individuals) is the key predictor of vaccine efficacy. Reductions in viral load of about 1 log10 copies ml-1 would be sufficient to significantly reduce HIV-associated mortality in the first 20 years after the introduction of vaccination. Changes in sexual risk behavior also had a strong impact on the epidemic outcome. The impact of vaccination is dependent on the population in which it is used, with disease-modifying vaccines predicted to have the most impact in areas of low prevalence and rapid epidemic growth. Surprisingly, the extent to which vaccination alters disease progression, the rate of generation of escape mutants, and the transmission of escape mutants are predicted to have only a weak impact on the epidemic outcome over the first 25 years after the introduction of a vaccine.

The composites were made from two types of powders including commercial inert gas atomized powder (99.7%) and high purity powder (99.99%) produced by a gas atomization reaction synthesis technique. The microstructures and tensile properties of the composites with three different volume fractions of the reinforcement particles (15, 20 and 30 vol.%) were characterized. Microstructural analysis of the samples demonstrated that the quasicrystalline phase in the Al–Cu–Fe particles transformed to a crystalline ω phase, which has similar elastic modulus, CTE, and hardness properties, but a reduced density. All the composites appear to be fully dense, with strong interparticle bonding, and exhibit elastic modulus values approaching upper bound predictions by rule of mixtures. Tensile test results and neutron diffraction measurements allowed an assessment of the relative influence of direct and secondary composite strengthening mechanisms on the yield strength of this model composite system. The results suggest that for elemental Al matrix composite samples without precipitation strengthening and severe strain hardening during consolidation, the direct and relevant secondary strengthening mechanisms can be combined to predict accurately the yield strength increase of the composites.

The experimental results suggest that multiphoton absorption is considerably stronger in the modified regions compared to pristine sites and is strongly dependent on the excitation wavelength.

Optical techniques provide a relatively non-invasive method by which calcium signals can be studied. However, obtaining quantitative information on the calcium currents that give rise to a particular image is not straightforward due to the presence of buffers and pumps that affect the calcium dynamics. We have recently developed a novel method to determine the calcium release fluxes that underlie a fluorescent image, which proved to be pretty accurate in both numerically and experimentally generated images (Ventura et al., to be published). The method assumes that a certain number of perturbative terms is enough to capture the way in which the various intracellular processes whose details are unknown affect calcium dynamics. In this paper we investigate the validity of this ansatz using numerical simulations.

In this paper, the first of a series, Melnikov criteria for the persistence of quasiperiodic and homoclinic solutions are derived directly from the governing partial differential equations via an averaging technique. For families of tori of quasiperiodic solutions, such as rotating waves and traveling waves, that arise within critical sets of linear combinations of conserved functionals, we find that usually only isolated tori will satisfy these selection criteria. Moreover, in some simple cases these criteria are sufficient to conclude that a torus persists. We also demonstrate the nonpersistence of solutions that are homoclinic to rotating waves under a broad class of Ginzburg–Landau perturbations which satisfy a convexity condition.

The elastic bulk and shear moduli of the unquenchable high-pressure clinoenstatite phase were measured within its stability field for the first time. The measured density contrast associated with the phase transition OEN → HP-CEN is 2.6–2.9% in the pressure of 7–9 GPa, and the corresponding velocity jumps are 3–4% for P waves and 5–6% for S waves. The elastic moduli of the HP-CEN phase are KS=156.7(8) GPa, G = 98.5(4) GPa and their pressure derivatives are KS′=5.5(3) and G′ = 1.5(1) at a pressure of 6.5 GPa, room temperature. In addition, we observed anomalous elastic behavior in orthoenstatite at pressure above 9 GPa at room temperature. Both elastic wave velocities exhibited softening between 9 and 13–14 GPa, which we suggest is associated with a transition to a metastable phase intermediate between OEN and HP-CEN.

For constant t, this formula reduces to the known Slater, Dugdale–MacDonald, and Vashchenko–Zubarev relations for t=0, 1, and 2, respectively. However, as we demonstrate, in the case of a real solid under pressure, t is a variable such that t→5/2 as P→∞. This formula is the basis for the analytic model of the cold Grüneisen parameter, q>1, developed previously by two of the authors, and the corresponding analytic model of the cold shear modulus. The model of the shear modulus is compared to electronic-structure calculations and experimental data on rare-gas solids, iron, and cobalt, and good agreement is found in all cases.

The full-field simulations make use of a recently introduced technique, based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. Applications are given for linear and power-law polycrystals with randomly distributed FCC and HCP grains. For linear systems, the FFT results demonstrate the accuracy of the standard SC approximation, even for relatively large values of the grain anisotropy parameter when the field fluctuations become significant. On the other hand, of the various extensions of the self-consistent method that have been proposed for nonlinear systems, the recent ‘second-order’ method appears to give the best overall predictions for both the effective behavior and the statistical fluctuations of the stress and strain-rate fields in power-law polycrystals.

Deformation-induced grain growth resulting from grain boundary migration, grain rotation and grain coalescence is commonly observed as the indentation proceeds. In situ studies of nanograined films suggest that the same mechanisms are operative, though the difficulty of imaging nanosized grains makes the evidence less clear. The results suggest that grain growth and coalescence are important modes of response in the deformation of ultrafine- and nanograined materials.

Calibration of the Stark shifts for the 13d[3/2]1 Rydberg state were experimentally obtained in a separate apparatus. Maps of the electric fields illustrate that the structure of the sheath formed around the junction depended on both the surface material and on the configuration of the surface.

Upon compression to 26.6 GPa, α-Ti3GeC2 starts to transform to β-Ti3GeC2. As compared to α-Ti3GeC2, the cell parameter a of β-Ti3GeC2 is slightly shorter, and both c and c/a larger. These two polymorphs exhibit similar compressibility. The bulk modulus is calculated to be 179 (±10) GPa at a fixed K′=4.0. This is lower than that of Ti3SiC2, and close to that of Ti3Si0.5Ge0.5C2. The compressibilities of these two Ti3GeC2 polymorphs do not display an apparent anisotropy, and differ from the large anisotropies observed from Ti3SiC2 and Ti3Si0.5Ge0.5C2.

We develop a general formalism to compute gluon fields in covariant gauge to lowest order in the classical field of the proton and to all orders in the classical field of the nucleus. The use of the covariant gauge makes the diagrammatic interpretation of the solution more transparent. -factorization holds to this order for gluon production—our results for the gluon distribution are equivalent to the prior diagrammatic analysis of Kovchegov and Mueller. We also show that these results are equivalent to the computation of gluon production by Dumitru and McLerran in the Fock–Schwinger gauge. We demonstrate how the Cronin effect arises in this approach, and examine its behavior in the two extreme limits of (a) no small-x quantum evolution, and (b) fully saturated quantum evolution. In both cases, the formalism reduces to Glauber''s formalism of multiple scatterings. We comment on the possible implications of this study for the interpretation of the recent results on deuteron–gold collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

In the dual 4D description, these models are 422 gauge theories in which the apparent unification of gauge couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model is explained as a consequence of strong coupling in the ultraviolet. The weakness of the gauge couplings at low energies is ensured in this 4D picture by asymptotically non-free contributions from the conformal sector, which are universal due to an approximate global symmetry. The 422 gauge symmetry is broken to the standard model group by a simple set of Higgs fields. An advantage of this setup relative to models of warped unification is that matter is automatically required to fill out representations of 422, providing an elegant understanding of the quantum numbers of the standard-model quarks and leptons. The models also naturally incorporate the see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses and bottom-tau unification. Finally, they predict a rich spectrum of exotic particles near the TeV scale, including states with different quantum numbers than those that appear in models.

We are able to carry through the leading order mean field calculation analytically, and with a suitable tuning of the coupling constant, we find string formation.

The quantum dynamics of the cantilever tip (CT) and the spin is analyzed and simulated taking into account the magnetic noise on the spin. The deviation of the spin from the direction of the effective magnetic field causes a measurable shift of the frequency of the CT oscillations. We show that the experimental study of this shift can reveal the information about the average time interval between the consecutive collapses of the wave function.

Bpa was inserted at positions 1, 3, 5, 8, and 13 of α-factor to generate a set of cross-linkable analogues spanning the pheromone. The biological activity (growth arrest assay) and binding affinities of all analogues for the α-factor receptor (Ste2p) were determined. Two of the analogues that were tested, Bpa1 and Bpa5, showed 3-4-fold lower affinity than the α-factor, whereas Bpa3 and Bpa13 had 7-12-fold lower affinities. Bpa8 competed poorly with [3H]-α-factor for Ste2p. All of the analogues tested except Bpa8 had detectable halos in the growth arrest assay, indicating that these analogues are α-factor agonists. Cross-linking studies demonstrated that [Bpa1]-α-factor, [Bpa3]-α-factor, [Bpa5]-α-factor, and [Bpa13]-α-factor were cross-linked to Ste2p; the biotin tag on the pheromone was detected by a NeutrAvidin-HRP conjugate on Western blots. Digestion of Bpa1, Bpa3, and Bpa13 cross-linked receptors with chemical and enzymatic reagents suggested that the N-terminus of the pheromone interacts with a binding domain consisting of residues from the extracellular ends of TM5- TM7 and portions of EL2 and EL3 close to these TMs and that there is a direct interaction between the position 13 side chain and a region of Ste2p (F55-R58) at the extracellular end of TM1. The results further define the sites of interaction between Ste2p and the a-factor, allowing refinement of a model for the pheromone bound to its receptor.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/10/19/ VL - 43 IS - 41 M3 - Article SP - 13214 EP - 13224 SN - 00062960 AB - The high-affinity metal-binding site of isolated F1-ATPase from beef heart mitochondria was studied by high-field (HF) continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR) and pulsed EPR spectroscopy, using MnII as a paramagnetic probe. The protein F1 was fully depleted of endogenous MgII and nucleotides [stripped F1 or MF1(0,0)] and loaded with stoichiometric MnII and stoichiometric or excess amounts of ADP or adenosine 5'-(β,gamma;-imido)-triphosphate (AMPPNP). MnII and nucleotides were added to MF1(0,0) either subsequently or together as preformed complexes. Metal-ADP inhibition kinetics analysis was performed showing that in all samples MnII enters one catalytic site on a β subunit. From the HF-EPR spectra, the zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters of the various samples were obtained, showing that different metal-protein coordination symmetry is induced depending on the metal nucleotide addition order and the protein/metal/nucleotide molar ratios. The electron spin-echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) technique was used to obtain information on the interaction between MnII and the 31P nuclei of the metal- coordinated nucleotide. In the case of samples containing ADP, the measured 31P hyperfine couplings clearly indicated coordination changes related to the metal nucleotide addition order and the protein/ metalinucleotide ratios. On the contrary, the samples with AMPPNP showed very similar ESEEM patterns, despite the remarkable differences present among their HF-EPR spectra. This fact has been attributed to changes in the metal-site coordination symmetry because of ligands not involving phosphate groups. The kinetic data showed that the divalent metal always induces in the catalytic site the high-affinity conformation, while EPR experiments in frozen solutions supported the occurrence of different precatalytic states when the metal and ADP are added to the protein sequentially or together as a preformed complex. The different states evolve to the same conformation, the metalII-ADP inhibited form, upon induction of the trisite catalytic activity. All our spectroscopic and kinetic data point to the active role of the divalent cation in creating a competent catalytic site upon binding to MF1, in accordance with previous evidence obtained for Escherichia coli and chloroplast F1.

In 1998, Oono and Paniconi [Oono, Y. & Paniconi,M. (1998) Prog. Theor. Phys. Suppl. 130, 29-44] proposed a general phenomenological framework, steady-state thermodynamics, encompassing non- equilibrium steady states and transitions between such states. In 2001, Hatano and Sasa [Hatano, T. & Sasa, 51(2001) Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3463-3466] derived a testable prediction of this theory. Specifically, they were able to show that the exponential average of Y, a quantity similar to a dissipated work, should be equal to zero for arbitrary transitions between nonequilibrium steady states, -ln(e-v) = 0. We have tested this strong prediction by measuring the dissipation and fluctuations of microspheres optically driven through water. We have found that -ln(e-v) 0 for three different nonequilibrium systems, supporting Hatano and Sasa's proposed extension of thermodynamics to arbitrary steady states and irreversible transitions.

A number of the relevant processes, including electron-impact excitation, photoionization, autoionization and electron-impact ionization, involve the computation of continuum electron wavefunctions. If the plasma consists of ions with sufficiently high charge, then the distorted-wave approximation is valid and can be used to compute these continuum orbitals and the corresponding cross sections. An overview of the relativistic distorted-wave approach is provided with an aim toward underscoring the similarities and differences with the longer established, nonrelativistic and semi-relativistic approaches. An example for extending the distorted-wave approach to less highly charged systems via the inclusion of resonance contributions to the cross sections is provided. Related topics, such as the top-up contribution, the high energy (Bethe) cross section limit, the Breit and Møller interactions, and transitions among magnetic sublevels are also discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Argon dopants in the fuel allow emission images to be obtained in the Ar He-β and Ly-β spectral bands, and these images provide information on core temperature and density profiles. We have analyzed these images to obtain quasi-three-dimensional maps of electron temperature and scaled electron density within the core for several cases of drive symmetry, and we find quantitative and qualitative disagreement with one-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations. We also observed a two-lobed structure evolving for increasingly prolate-asymmetric drive. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These plasmas were created in the Livermore electron beam ion traps EBIT-I and EBIT-II. Line emission and radiative recombination features of Ni to Kr-like gold ions were recorded in the x-ray region with a crystal spectrometer and a photometrically calibrated microcalorimeter. The CSDs in the experimentally simulated thermal plasmas were inferred by fitting the observed 4f→3d and 5f→3d lines with synthetic spectra from the Hebrew University Lawrence Livermore Atomic Code (HULLAC). Additionally, the CSDs in the beam plasmas were inferred both from fitting the line emission and fitting the radiative recombination emission to calculations from the General Relativistic Atomic Structure Program (GRASP). Despite the relatively simple atomic physics in the low density plasma, differences existed between the experimental CSDs and the simulations from several available codes (e.g. RIGEL). Our experimental CSD relied upon accurate electron impact cross sections provided by HULLAC. To determine their reliability, we have experimentally determined the cross sections for several of the n=3→4 and n=3→5 excitations in Ni to Ga-like Au and compared them to distorted wave calculations. Recent Au spectra recorded during experiments at the HELEN laser facility are presented and compared with those from EBIT-I and EBIT-II. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/10/20/ VL - 730 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 81 EP - 93 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Hot plasma with temperatures up to 500 eV and densities close to solid state have been generated by focusing intense ultrashort laser pulses on flat solid targets. The heating process is attributed to the energetic electrons, which are created during the laser plasma interaction. They propagate deeply into the target and heat it isochorically. The laser was a frequency-doubled Ti:Sapphire laser with an energy of 60 mJ and a pulse duration of 150 fs. It was focused on layered plane solid targets with an incidence angle of 45° and p-polarized. The K-shell spectra emitted from thin Al sample layers embedded in solid carbon show features such as line broadening, line shift and strong satellite emission, which are characteristic of dense plasmas. The typical duration of the x-ray emission is a few ps. Al targets covered by a diamond layer show that the depth (expressed through areal density) up to which the target is heated is close to 1 mg/cm2, which corresponds to the range of 20 keV electrons. This means that a considerable fraction of 20 to 25% of the incident laser energy is deposited by the hot electrons in the target. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The electronic and ionic structures are determined self-consistently using finite temperature density functional theory and the Gibbs-Bogolyubov inequality. The main thermodynamic quantities, i.e., internal energy, pressure, entropy, and sound speed are obtained by numerical differentiation of the plasma total Helmholtz free energy. Electronic electrical and thermal conductivities are calculated from the Ziman approach. Ionic transport coefficients are estimated using those of a hard-sphere system and the Rosenfeld semi-empirical “universal” correspondence between excess entropy and dimensionless transport coefficients of dense fluids. Numerical results and comparisons with quantum molecular dynamics calculations and experiments are presented and discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Extending earlier work from the Nova laser, we present results from experiments using the Omega laser to study the ionization balance of gold as a function of electron and radiation temperature. In these experiments, gold samples embedded in Be disks expand under direct laser heating to ne ≈ 1021cm-3, with Te varying from 0.8 to 2.5 keV. An additional finite radiation field with effective temperature Tr up to 150 eV is provided by placing the gold Be disks inside truncated 1.2 mm diameter tungsten-coated cylindrical hohlraums with full laser entrance holes. Densities are measured by imaging of plasma expansion. Electron temperatures are diagnosed with either 2ω or 4ω Thomson scattering, and also K-shell spectroscopy of KCl tracers co-mixed with the gold. Hohlraum flux and effective radiation temperature are measured using an absolutely-calibrated multichannel filtered diode array. Spectroscopic measurements of the M-shell gold emission in the 2.9–4 keV spectral range provide ionization balance and charge state distribution information. The spectra show strong variation with Te, strong variation with the applied Tr, at Te below 1.6 keV, and relatively little variation with Tr at higher Te (upwards of 2 keV). We summarize our most recent spectral analyses and discuss emerging and outstanding issues. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The ATOMIC code is based on the FINE code, long used by the Los Alamos group for spectral comparisons in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and for non-LTE calculations, utilizing the extensive databases from the atomic physics suite of codes based on the work of R. D. Cowan. Many of the plasma physics packages in LEDCOP, such as line broadening and free-free absorption, are being transferred to the new ATOMIC code. A new equation of state (EOS) model is being developed to allow higher density calculations than were possible with either the FINE or LEDCOP codes. Extensive modernization for both ATOMIC and the atomic physics code suites, including conversion to Fortran 90 and parallelization, are under way to speed up the calculations and to allow the use of expanded databases for both the LTE opacity tables and the non-LTE calculations. Future plans will be outlined, including considerations for new generation opacity tables. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This model is based on the chemical picture of the plasma and uses the free-energy-minimization technique and the occupation-probability formalism. The model is constructed as a combination of ideal and non-ideal contributions to the total Helmholtz free energy of the plasma including the effects of plasma microfields, strong coupling, and the hard-sphere description of the finite sizes of atomic species with bound electrons. These types of models have been recognized as a convenient and computationally inexpensive tool for modeling of local-thermal-equilibrium (LTE) plasmas for a broad range of temperatures and densities, We calculate the thermodynamic characteristics of the plasma (such as pressure and internal energy), and populations and occupation probabilities of atomic bound states. In addition to a smooth truncation of partition functions necessary for extracting ion populations from the system of Saha-type equations, the occupation probabilities can also be used for the merging of Rydberg line series into their associated bound-free edges. In the low-density, high-temperature regimes the plasma effects are adequately described by the Debye-Hückel model and its corresponding contribution to the total Helmholtz free energy of the plasma. In strongly-coupled plasmas, however, the Debye-Hückel approximation is no longer appropriate. In order to extend the validity of our EOS model to strongly-coupled plasmas while maintaining the analytic nature of our model, we adopt fits to the plasma free energy based on hypernetted-chain and Monte Carlo simulations. Our results for hydrogen are compared to other theoretical models. Hydrogen has been selected as a test-case on which improvements in EOS physics are benchmarked before analogous upgrades are included for any element in the EOS part of the new Los Alamos opacity code ATOMIC. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

High resolution x-ray spectra from these sources measured by satellites such as Chandra, XMM-Newton, and the Solar Maximum Mission provide a means for understanding the physics governing these sources. Laboratory measurements of the atomic processes have proved crucial to the interpretation of these spectra. For example using the LLNL electron beam ion traps EBIT-I & EBIT-II a detailed study of the x-ray spectrum of Fe XVII has been conducted addressing the large ratio predicted by theory compared to observations of considerably smaller values of the relative intensity of the 2p-3d 1P1 resonant to the 3D1 intercombination line. The difference was often attributed to opacity effects. However, laboratory measurements in the optically thin limit agree with observations demonstrating that the prediction is too large and opacity need not be invoked. The laboratory results thus provide a benchmark in the optically thin limit for accurate estimates of opacity effects . To uncover the source of the discrepancy between theory and observation, we have performed a series of experiments that successively uncovered more details about the Fe XVII lines produced in coronal plasmas. Most recently, we used a 32 channel array microcalorimeter from the Astro-E x-ray satellite program to measure the excitation cross section of various Fe XVII lines in the laboratory. These measurements resolve long-standing issues thought to be associated with non-equilibrium processes. We have also used the Astro-E microcalorimeter, and more recently its upgrade from the Astro-E2 project, and the magnetic trapping mode of EBIT-I to accurately measure x-ray emission from charge exchange recombination and to simulate the x-ray line production process in comets. Using only the laboratory measurements, we fit the moderate resolution x-ray spectrum from the comet C/Linear1999 observed by the ACIS-S CCD instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory . The good fit to the data shows that we are able to recreate in the laboratory the charge exchange process taking place in comets. With the launch of the Astro-E2 satellite in 2005, whose second generation XRS microcalorimeter array has an energy resolution of 6–7 eV, a factor of 20–30 better than Chandra’s ACIS-S CCD, high resolution spectra of comets should become available. These measurements coupled with the laboratory measurements at LLNL using the sister Astro-E2 calorimeter array, will make it possible to accurately diagnose the composition of the solar wind at various locations in the solar system. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

It is shown that while most collisional rates are fairly insensitive to the functional form and characteristic energy of the hot electrons as long as their characteristic energy is larger than the threshold energy for the collisional process, collisional excitation and ionization rates are highly sensitive to the fraction of hot electrons. This permits the development of robust spectroscopic diagnostics that can be used to detect the presence of hot electrons from x-ray line emission spectra. Hot electrons are shown to increase and spread out plasma charge state distributions, amplify the intensities of emission lines fed by direct collisional excitation and radiative cascades, and alter the structure of satellite and EUV line emission features. The characteristic energy, functional form, and spatial properties of hot electron distributions in plasmas are open to characterization through their effects on high-energy continuum emission and on the polarization of spectral lines. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Forty OMEGA beams (λL = 0.351 μm) illuminated the two cylindrical faces of the target with a total power that ranged from 7 to 14 TW. The laser fully ionizes the target (ne/ncrit ≤ 0.1), and a laser-bleaching wave excites, supersonically, the high-Z emitter ions in the sample. Heating in the target was imaged with gated x-ray framing cameras and an x-ray streak camera. Ti K-shell x-ray emission was spectrally resolved with a two-channel crystal spectrometer and also with a set of filtered aluminum x-ray diodes, both instruments provide absolute measurement of the multi-keV x-ray emission. We find between 40 – 260 J of output with 4.67 ≤ hv ≤ 5.0 keV. Radiation-hydrodynamic calculations predict late time enhancement of the x-ray power due first to axial stagnation of the heating waves, then, ablatively-driven radial compression from the target walls. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Our current ability to reliably predict low-energy charge transfer relies on our understanding of the dynamics and our ability to model the quasi-molecular states formed during collisions. The ion-atom merged-beams apparatus together with the intense ion beams made available by the ORNL ECR ion source provide a unique opportunity to study charge transfer at low (meV/u to keV/u) collision energies. Experimental and theoretical evaluation of the recent ORNL benchmark measurements of the charge transfer cross sections for He2+, N2+, Ne2+, Ne3+, Ne4+ + H(D) are presented. The measured cross sections for Ne3+, Ne4+, N2+ + D show a strong increase toward low energies which is attributed to the ion-induced dipole attraction between reactants. The Ne2+, He2+ + H(D) systems show a sharply decreasing cross section toward lower energies where the effects of rotational coupling are evident and can be studied. The ECR ion source facility is being upgraded to provide high energy multicharged ion beams at (20–250) × q keV. The higher velocity beams will allow measurements with heavier ions and allow measurements to be performed with both H and D to directly test predicted isotope effects at low energies. With the recent addition of a Cs-negative ion source to the ion-atom merged-beams apparatus, eV/u collisions between multi-charged ions and multi-electron targets are being explored. Preliminary measurements of Ar2+ + Li are presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

For all of the excitation forms, the luminescence of these materials is dominated by the d–f emission bands of Ce3+. The shape and position of these bands, however, depends on the form of the excitation and on temperature due to crystallographic structural phase changes and multiple types of Lu3+ ions sites in the which the Ce3+ ion can substitute for Lu. The highly efficient and fast scintillation of these materials is based on radiative recombination of electron-hole pairs via Ce ions, and the scintillation characteristics identify K3Lu(PO4)2:Ce as a promising fast and efficient scintillator.

The two modifications, PrI2-IV and -V, are obtained in different ratios upon fast and slow cooling, respectively. PrI2-IV crystallizes with the CdCl2 type of structure (trigonal, R-3m, a=426.5(1), c=2247.1(8) pm) while PrI2-V (cubic, F-43m, a=1239.9(2) pm) represents an own structure type that may be considered as a structural variant of the CdCl2 type with tetrahedral Pr4 clusters. To elucidate the electronic properties of the modifications of PrI2 first principles electronic band structure calculations have been carried out using the tight-binding linear-muffin-tin-orbital method (LMTO) as well as the full potential augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW). The band structure and the bonding were analysed in terms of projections of the bands onto orthogonal orbitals. It was especially focussed on Pr–Pr interactions by crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (COHP) analysis. The calculations show accordingly that a configurational crossover between a [Xe]6s05d04fn and a [Xe]6s05d14fn-1 configuration can be observed in the case of PrI2, depending upon the structure adopted. A higher d orbital contribution results in stronger Pr–Pr interactions. Thus, the driving force appears to be an optimisation of bonding.

EXAFS data show that an adjacent siloxane bridge of the surface plays the role of an extra surface ligand, which most likely stabilizes these complexes as in [(≡SiO)Ta(≡CHtBu)(CH2/Bu)2(≡SiOSi≡)] (1a') and [(≡SiO)Ta(CH3)3Cp*(≡SiOSi≡)] (2a'). In the case of [(≡SiO)Ta(=CHtBu)(CH2tBu)2(≡SiOSi≡)], the structure is further stabilized by an additional interaction: a C-H agostic bond as evidenced by the small J coupling constant for the carbenic C-H (JC-H = 80 Hz), which was measured by J-resolved 2D solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The product selectivity in propane metathesis in the presence of [(≡SiO)Ta(=CHtBu)- (CH2tBu)2(≡SiOSi≡)] (1a') as a catalyst precursor and the inactivity of the surface complex [(≡SiO)Ta- (CH3)3Cp*(≡SiOSi≡)] (2a') show that the active site is required to be highly electrophilic and probably involves a metallacyclobutane intermediate.

The most accurate description of PuO2 is therefore actually PuO2+x-y(OH)2yzH2O, with pure, ordered, homogeneous PuO2 attained only when H2O is rigorously excluded and the O activity is relatively low.

JO - Modern Physics Letters B JF - Modern Physics Letters B Y1 - 2004/10/20/ VL - 18 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 1205 EP - 1223 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 02179849 AB - The gap function in unconventional superconductors may vanish at points or lines in momentum space, permitting electronic excitations, termed "nodal quasiparticles", to exist at temperatures well below the superconducting transition. In the vortex phase, the presence of nodal quasiparticles should be directly observable through the variation of the heat capacity with the angle between a magnetic field and the location of the zeroes of the gap. The heat capacity of candidate nonmagnetic unconventional superconductors Lu(Y)Ni2B2C were found to exhibit fourfold oscillations with field angle, the first such observation. The observed angular variations are in quantitative agreement with theory, confirming that quasiparticles are created via Doppler shifts at nodes along <100>. Anomalous disorder effects have been also observed in the field-angle-dependent heat capacity Cp(α). In a slightly disordered sample, anomalous secondary minima along <110> appeared for μ0H>1 T, leading to an eightfold pattern. The coexistence of an anisotropic superconducting gap and nonlocal effects is shown to drive the anomalous behavior. These results demonstrate that field-angle-dependent heat capacity can be a powerful tool in probing the momentum-space gap structure in unconventional superconductors such as high-Tc cuprates, heavy fermions, borocarbides, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Modern Physics Letters B is the property of World Scientific Publishing Company and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We have observed islands thicken by more than 50 atomic layers in this manner. The island migration allows 3-D growth to occur in a way that avoids the nucleation barrier associated with forming 2-D islands on top of 3-D islands. Indeed, without substrate steps this nucleation barrier is not surmounted, and no 3-D islands are formed in the films studied.

Here we demonstrate that N-terminal variability in kidney and brain 4.1B isoforms arises through an unusual coupling of RNA processing events in the 5′ region of the gene. We describe two transcriptional promoters at far upstream alternative exons 1A and 1B, and show that their respective transcripts splice differentially to exon 2′/2 in a manner that determines mRNA coding capacity. The consequence of this unique processing is that exon 1B transcripts initiate translation at AUG1 (in exon 2′) and encode larger 4.1B isoforms with an N-terminal extension; exon 1A transcripts initiate translation at AUG2 (in exon 4) and encode smaller 4.1B isoforms. Tissue-specific differences in promoter utilization may thus explain the abundance of larger 4.1B isoforms in brain but not in kidney. In cell studies, differentiation of PC12 cells was accompanied by translocation of large protein 4.1B isoforms into the nucleus. We propose that first exon specification is coupled to downstream splicing events, generating 4.1B isoforms with diverse roles in kidney and brain physiology, and potentially unique functions in cell proliferation and tumor suppression.

Real-time analysis of both the gas and particle phases of the reactor effluent was performed with an ion trap-based aerosol mass spectrometer. Off-line analyses were also performed on the filter-collected reactor effluent. The real-time particle mass spectra revealed the presence of a polymeric mass distribution starting near 1000 Da and continuing to greater than 1750 Da. The spacing between the polymer peaks is approximately 70 Da. Comparison of real-time and off-line analyses reveals the metastable nature of the polymer-like high mass species.

Radial distribution functions (rdfs) indicate the local O⋯O separation is 2.83 Å, close to 2.85 Å estimated from earlier Raman measurements, but larger than that observed by empirical potential structure refinement simulation of neutron data. Perhaps more importantly the rdfs indicate a greater extent of ordering in VHDA ice, with observable coordination shells extending to at least 20 Å.

Our fully relativistic Dirac-Fock and nonrelativistic HF calculations predict for a PbH4 bond distance of 1.75 and 1.82 Å, respectively. Both our DF and NR HF limit SCF calculations predict the ground state of PbH4 (Td) to be bound, with the predicted atomization energy (Ae) of 7.20 and 8.63 eV, respectively. There are antibinding effects due to relativity of ∼1.4 eV to the predicted atomization energy (Ae) of PbH4. Our relativistic four-component coupled-cluster singles and doubles (RCCSD) calculations, which correlate 50 electrons and include 302 active molecular spinors with energies up to ∼46 a.u. in the active space predict the relativistic second-order Møller-Plesset (RMP2), RCCSD and RCCSD (T) (RCCSD plus the triple excitation correction included perturbationally) correlation energies as -1.271, -1.161, and -1.186 hartree, respectively. The contribution of the RMP2, RCCSD, and RCCSD (T) electron correlation energies toward the atomization energy of PbH4 as predicted by our above-mentioned CC calculation is 3.78, 4.22, and 4.30 eV, respectively. We predict the NR and relativistic MP2, CCSD, and CCSD (T) atomization energies (Ae) for PbH4 at the optimized PbH bond distances as 12.72, 12.90, 1.77 and 10.98, 11.42, and 11.50 eV, respectively. With the inclusion of both the electron correlation and effects of relativity, we predict the atomization energy for PbH4 to be ∼10-11 eV. This should encourage experimentalists to devise new synthetic methods to prepare plumbane, so that its chemical and physical properties can be investigated as in the case of its lighter congeners.

Here we show that some large-scale deletions of the non-coding DNA referred to as gene deserts can be well tolerated by an organism. We deleted two large non-coding intervals, 1,511 kilobases and 845 kilobases in length, from the mouse genome. Viable mice homozygous for the deletions were generated and were indistinguishable from wild-type littermates with regard to morphology, reproductive fitness, growth, longevity and a variety of parameters assaying general homeostasis. Further detailed analysis of the expression of multiple genes bracketing the deletions revealed only minor expression differences in homozygous deletion and wild-type mice. Together, the two deleted segments harbour 1,243 non-coding sequences conserved between humans and rodents (more than 100 base pairs, 70% identity). Some of the deleted sequences might encode for functions unidentified in our screen; nonetheless, these studies further support the existence of potentially‘disposable DNA’in the genomes of mammals.

The specifications were set on various properties of the tubes for the electromagnetic and hadronic compartments and a series of rigorous tests were made on 2216 Hamamatsu R4125, 10-stage 19 mm diameter tubes with green-extended bialkali photocathode. On all of the test items, the distributions of the data were well clustered with minor tails, and the original specifications based on a small ensemble were well suited for rejecting the tails of the distributions. After rejecting 5.4% of the total, 960 tubes for electromagnetic and 864 tubes for hadronic compartments were allocated to projective towers based on their linear dynamic ranges. Tubes with greater linear ranges were assigned to larger pseudo-rapidity channels where greater single-tower energy deposits were expected. This paper describes how we selected the phototubes for our calorimeter and presents the results of the study we made.

This accumulation is suppressed by inhibitors of protein kinases staurosporine and wortmannin but is not effected by roscovitine. We also found that methyl methanesulfonate induces phosphorylation of Ser-317 in protein kinase Chk1 and Ser-139 in histone H2AX and stimulates formation of single-stranded DNA at replication foci. Together, our results suggest that MMS-induced accumulation of hRad18 protein at stalled forks involves protein phosphorylation which may be performed by S-phase checkpoint kinases.

The experiments were performed at the energy resolution of 85 μeV over the momentum transfer (Q) range of 0.36–2.53 Å-1 on samples in which the nonpolar phase (isooctane) and the AOT alkyl chains were deuterated, thereby suppressing their contribution to the QENS signal. QENS results were analyzed via a jump-diffusion/isotropic rotation model, which fits the results reasonably well despite the fact that confinement effects are not explicitly taken into account. This analysis indicates that in reverse micelles with low-water content (w0=1 and 2.5) translational diffusion rate is too slow to be detected, while for w0=5 the diffusion coefficient is much smaller than for bulk water. Rotational diffusion coefficients obtained from this analysis increase with w0 and are smaller than for bulk water, but rotational mobility is less drastically reduced than translational mobility. Using the Faeder/Ladanyi model [J. Phys. Chem. B 104, 1033 (2000)] of reverse micelle interior, MD simulations were performed to calculate the self-intermediate scattering function FS(Q,t) for water hydrogens. Comparison of the time Fourier transform of this FS(Q,t) with the QENS dynamic structure factor S(Q,ω), shows good agreement between the model and experiment. Separate intermediate scattering functions FSR(Q,t) and FSCM(Q,t) were determined for rotational and translational motion. Consistent with the decoupling approximation used in the analysis of QENS data, the product of FSR(Q,t) and FSCM(Q,t) is a good approximation to the total FS(Q,t). We find that the decay of FSCM(Q,t) is nonexponential and our analysis of the MD data indicates that this behavior is due to lower water mobility close to the interface and to confinement-induced restrictions on the range of translational displacements. Rotational relaxation also exhibits nonexponential decay. However, rotational mobility of O-H bond vectors in the interfacial region remains fairly high due to the lower density of water-water hydrogen bonds in the vicinity of the interface. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In contrast with Langmuir films on water, where molecules invariably orient roughly surface normal, alkanes on mercury are always oriented surface parallel and show no long-range in-plane order at any surface pressure. A gas and several condensed phases of single, double, and triple layers of lying-down molecules are found, depending on n and T. At high coverages, the alkanes studied here show transitions from a triple to a double to a single layer with increasing temperature. The transition temperature from a double to a single layer is found to be ∼5 °C, lower than the bulk rotator-to-liquid melting temperature, while the transition from a triple to a double layer is about as much below the double-to-single layer transition. Both monolayer and bulk transition temperatures show a linear increase with n with identical slopes of ∼4.5 °C/CH2 within the range of n values addressed here. It is suggested that the film and bulk transitions are both driven by a common cause: the proliferation of gauche defects in the chain with increasing temperature.© 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In this paper, we introduce a dynamic computer model for investigating this phenomenon. Duplex DNA is represented as a chain of hydrodynamic beads interacting through potentials of linearly elastic stretching, bending, and twisting, as well as excluded volume. The chain, linear when relaxed, is looped to form two open but topologically constrained subdomains. This permits the dynamic introduction of torsional stress via a centrally applied torque. We simulate by Brownian dynamics the 100 μs response of a 477-base pair B-DNA template to the localized torque generated by the prokaryotic transcription ensemble. Following a sharp rise at early times, the distributed twist assumes a nearly constant value in both subdomains, and a succession of supercoiling deformations occurs as superhelical stress is increasingly partitioned to writhe. The magnitude of writhe surpasses that of twist before also leveling off when the structure reaches mechanical equilibrium with the torsional load. Superhelicity is simultaneously right handed in one subdomain and left handed in the other, as predicted by the “transcription-induced twin-supercoiled-domain” model [L. F. Liu and J. C. Wang, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 7024 (1987)]. The properties of the chain at the onset of writhing agree well with predictions from theory, and the generated stress is ample for driving secondary structural transitions in physiological DNA. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

In particular, we consider the polymer mean spherical approximation (PMSA), the dimer version of thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPTD), and the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable attractive range (SAFT-VR). Since the original version of SAFT-VR for Yukawa fluids is restricted to the case of one-Yukawa tail, we have extended SAFT-VR to treat chain fluids with two-Yukawa tails. The predictions of these theories are compared with Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data for the pressure and phase behavior of the chain fluid of different length with one- and two-Yukawa tails. We find that overall the PMSA and TPTD give more accurate predictions than SAFT-VR, and that the PMSA is slightly more accurate than TPTD. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The best isotherm model derived from the fitting of these adsorption data was the bi-Langmuir model, a choice supported by the bimodal affinity energy distribution (AED) obtained for C60. The isotherm parameters derived from the inverse method (IM) of isotherm determination (by fitting calculated profiles to experimental overloaded band profiles of C60 and C70) are in very good agreement with those derived from the FA data. According to the isotherm parameters found by these three methods (FA, AED, IM), the tetraphenylporphyrin-bonded silica can adsorb 54 and 42 mmol/L of C60 and C70 fullerenes, respectively, a result that is consistent with the relative molecular size of these two compounds. The 20% lower surface accessibility for C70 is compensated by a three times higher equilibrium constant on the low-energy sites, giving a selectivity 3.6. Large volumes (0.2, 0.8 and 1.7 mL) of mixtures of C60 (3.2 g/L) and C70 (1.3 g/L) were injected and their elution profiles compared to those calculated from the competitive bi-Langmuir model derived from the single-component isotherm data. A good agreement is obtained between calculated and experimental profiles, which supports the two-site adsorption mechanism derived from the single-component adsorption data. The measurements of the influence of the pressure on the retention of C60 and C70 demonstrate that the partial molar volumes of the two buckminsterfullerenes are 12 mL/mol larger in the stationary than in the mobile phase.

This stationary phase enabled the separation of saccharides in the mobile phase with a high-pH value consisting of aqueous ammonia solution in anion-exchange mode using evaporative light scattering for detection. Effects of both porous properties of the monolithic stationary phase and chromatographic conditions on the separation ability were studied. Under optimized conditions, an efficient separation of seven saccharides was achieved in less than 10min. The stationary phase also enables the separation of saccharides obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch.

The average mobility agreed well with that obtained in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) did not decrease in the presence of up to 8% plasma or 8% raw blood. Single-molecule detection was still possible in the presence of 50% raw blood. Single-molecule CE of two differently labeled molecules was carried out in the presence of a transmission grating. Even when the mobility difference is not sufficient because of low S/N, identification using different fluorescence wavelengths can be performed at >99% accuracy. So, when small differences in DNA sequence due to disease or mutation can lead to hybridization to labels with different dyes, the screening of the mutated DNA will be facilitated by online spectroscopy in addition to the electrophoretic information from CE.

Femtosecond broad-band infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy was used to monitor films of the energetic polymer poly(vinyl nitrate) during shock loading and rarefaction. At ~18 GPa, poly(vinyl nitrate) films exhibited loss of absorption in the nitro group stretch modes that did not recover upon rarefaction, providing an indication of initial chemical reaction. At pressures ≤9 GPa, the observed spectral changes are ascribed to thin film optical interference effects, without chemical reaction. The loss of infrared absorption required an induction time of tens of picoseconds after shock passage, supporting reaction mechanisms that require vibrational energy transfer rather than prompt reaction.

The technique consists of three steps: the deposition of an oxide precursor by spray pyrolysis of a nitrate solution, fluorination of the oxide precursor in an atmosphere containing a fluorinated gas, and finally, growth of YBa2Cu3O7 by the conventional ex situ process. The microstructure of both the oxide and fluorinated precursor is described along with data on the rate of fluorination. We have routinely achieved critical currents of 0.5MA/cm2 for 1μm thick films at 77K in self-field.

The excess electron (e[sup -][sub c]) was excited through the e[sup -][sub c](p) ← e[sup -][sub c](s) transition with an ultrafast laser pulse, with subsequent evolution of the excited state monitored with photodetachment and photoelectron imaging. All clusters exhibited p-state population decay with concomitant s-state repopulation (internal conversion) on time scales ranging from 180 to 130 femtoseconds for (H[sub 2]O)[sub n][sup -] and 400 to 225 femtoseconds for (D[sub 2]O)[sub n][sup -]; the lifetimes decrease with increasing cluster sizes. Our results support the "nonadiabatic relaxation" mechanism for the bulk hydrated electron (e[sup -][sub aq]), which invokes a 50-femtosecond e[sup -][sub aq] (p) → e[sup -][sub aq] (s†) internal conversion lifetime.

This observation supports previously reported hypotheses that grain boundaries present a hole-barrier, thereby assisting in charge separation at the grain boundaries in these devices. The results offer compelling evidence, in an actual working-device structure, of the role of grain boundaries in explaining the surprisingly high performance of these highly defected devices.

In this approach, a cantilever is actuated by the radiation pressure of the amplitude modulated light that emerges from an absorber. Numerical estimates indicate that laser intensity noise will not prevent a cantilever from operating in the thermal noise limit, where the high Q’s of cantilevers are most advantageous.

On WOx–Al2O3, 2-butanol dehydration rates (per W atom) increased with increasing WOx surface density and reached maximum values at WOx surface densities (9–10 W nm-2) similar to those required for two-dimensional polytungstates, as also found on WOx–ZrO2. UV–visible edge energies showed that WOx domains become larger as WOx surface density increases. Selective titration of Brønsted acid sites by sterically hindered 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine during 2-butanol dehydration reaction showed that this reaction occurs predominately on Brønsted acid sites for WOx domains on ZrO2, Al2O3, SiO2, and SnO2 supports. Pre-edge features appear in the UV–visible spectra of WOx–Al2O3 samples during 2-butanol dehydration and their intensity increases with WOx surface density in parallel with measured Brønsted acid site densities and dehydration rates (per W atom). These d–d electronic transitions reflect the formation of reduced centers, consisting of acidic species, using 2-butanol as a stoichiometric reductant. These processes resemble those on WOx–ZrO2, indicating that temporary acid sites generally form from neutral WOx precursors on all supports. Dehydration turnover rates (per Brønsted acid site) were unaffected by the identity of the support, but for a given WOx surface density, the number of reduced centers and the density of Brønsted acid sites, but not their intrinsic reactivity, depend on the identity of the support; both reduced centers and Brønsted acid sites are more abundant on ZrO2-supported than on Al2O3-supported samples, as a result of electronic isolation of WOx domains on the more insulating and unreducible Al2O3 supports. The dehydration regioselectivity on Brønsted acid sites is strongly influenced by support, with more electropositive support cations leading to stronger interactions between α-hydrogens in reactants and lattice oxygens, favoring sterically hindered transition states required for the formation of cis-2-butene.

Our work here shows that adding 1-pentanol as an inert dopant had the effect of inducing cavitation in the ultrasound-treated reaction where it otherwise would not occur. The selectivity showed a 700% increase toward 2-butanol formation and the activity enhanced a factor of 10.8 compared to the noncavitating high-power ultrasound experiment. This study demonstrates that “inert dopants” may have use as synthetic tools in sonocatalysis.

The adsorption of water and NO2 molecules induced a significant contraction of the zeolite unit cell. The unexpected contraction of the unit cell was closely related to the amount of water and NOx species (NO+, NO2, NO3-) inside the framework. The reaction H2O + NO2 → NO3- + H+ had a substantial effect on the structural properties of the BaY system. The NO3- groups produced a shift in the position of the Ba cations and a reduction in the zeolite unit cell.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/10/25/ VL - 108 IS - 43 M3 - Article SP - 16753 EP - 16760 SN - 15206106 AB - Variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (VT STM) and theoretical ab initio computer simulations were used to study dissociative chemisorption and competitive surface chemistry of CCl4 on an iron-terminated Fe3O4 (111) 2 × 2 surface in an ultrahigh vacuum. The Fe3O4 (111) surface was exposed to CCl4 molecules at 224 K, slowly annealed to 500 K (0.2 K/s), and scanned at room temperature. Two different chlorine species were observed only on the iron-terminated Fe3O4 (111) 2 × 2 surface due to chemisorption of CCl4, one on top of surface-terminating iron atoms (Cl bound to surface irons) and the other at 3-fold oxygen vacancy sites (Cl bound to subsurface irons). The ratio of the number of chlorine species on top sites to the number at 3-fold oxygen vacancy sites is approximately 9:1, which is dramatically different from the 1:10 ratio observed when CCl4 is dosed at room temperature. The difference in the ratio of these two chlorine species can be explained with a competitive surface reaction picture in which phosgene evolution/surface oxygen atom abstraction, leading to chlorine species at 3-fold oxygen vacancy sites, can only favorably compete with recombination and association reactions, leading to chlorine atoms on top sites, near room temperature. Theoretical calculations were performed that predict an activation barrier of 0.16 eV for the production of phosgene from CCl4 reacting with the iron-terminated Fe3O4 (111) 2 × 2 surface.

Pyrolysis of silica-immobilized 1,3-diphenylpropane (DPP) at 375 °C has been examined in the presence of a series of isomeric (by point of attachment) co-attached hydroaromatic spacer molecules to explore the role of molecular orientation on a free-radical reaction under surface confinement. The DPP pyrolysis rate was found to be sensitive to both the structure of the spacer and its attachment orientation to the surface. Spacer molecules with a meta orientation of the benzylic hydrogens with respect to the surface linkage were found to produce faster reaction rates than the corresponding para-oriented spacers. Molecular modeling indicates that the meta-attached spacers are better able to attain a favorable separation and geometry for hydrogen transfer to intermediate surface-confined benzyl radicals in the hydrogen transfer, radical relay mechanism on the surface. These orientation effects have important implications in many fields including catalysis, solid-phase synthesis, and the design and preparation of new nanostructured materials.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/10/25/ VL - 108 IS - 43 M3 - Article SP - 16904 EP - 16911 SN - 15206106 AB - All photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) have two parallel sets of electron transfer cofactors that cross the membrane. In quinone-type RCs (including photosystem II (PSII)), however, only one pathway (the active branch) is used for electron transfer. Since the electron transfer cofactors of each pathway have nearly identical distance and orientation relationships, it is assumed that local differences in protein environment determine the directionality of electron transfer. To understand further the factors that affect energy distribution among the PSII RC cofactors, we altered the PSII RC cofactor symmetry by replacing the inactive-branch pheophytin (Pheo) with a chlorophyll (Chl). We mutated the D1-L210 residue to a histidine (D1-L210H) to provide a Mg ligand for Chl. Analyses of the pigment composition of D1-L210H RCs indicated that the inactive-branch Pheo had been replaced by a Chl. Comparisons of wild-type and D1-L210 transient absorption spectra confirmed that the red-shifted Pheo Qx absorption band (543.5 nm) belonged to the active-branch Pheo. Surprisingly, intact D1-L210H PSII complexes were unable to evolve oxygen, lacked Chl variable fluorescence, (following a flash), and were unable to photoaccumulate reduced Qa, indicating that electron transfer in D1-L210H PSII complexes was severely perturbed. The kinetics of primary charge separation, however, were not substantially altered in D1-L210H RCs, indicating that the Chl substitution had not perturbed the energetics of the primary electron donor/acceptor pair. Significantly, intact D1-L210H PSII core complexes had a substantially increased and red-shifted Chl fluorescence emission band attributed to fluorescence from Chl''s of the distal antenna complex as well as a blue-shifted fluorescence emission peak attributed to Chl''s of the proximal antenna complex (77 K). These results are interpreted in terms of a redistribution of the excited-state energy among the pigments of the RC multimer, leading to loss of the excited state via fluorescence in the D1-L210H mutant.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/10/26/ VL - 43 IS - 42 M3 - Article SP - 13271 EP - 13282 SN - 00062960 AB - The oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II (PS II) in green plants and algae contains a cluster of four Mn atoms in the active site, which catalyzes the photoinduced oxidation of water to dioxygen. Along with Mn, calcium and chloride ions are necessary cofactors for proper functioning of the complex. The current study using polarized Sr EXAFS on oriented Sr-reactivated samples shows that Fourier peak II, which fits best to Mn at 3.5 Å rather than lighter atoms (C, N, 0, or Cl), is dichroic, with a larger magnitude at 100 (angle between the PS II membrane normal and the X-ray electric field vector) and a smaller magnitude at 80°. Analysis of the dichroism of the Sr EXAFS yields a lower and upper limit of 00 and 23° for the average angle between the Sr-Mn vectors and the membrane normal and an isotropic coordination number (number of Mn neighbors to Sr) of 1 or 2 for these layered PS II samples. The results confirm the contention that Ca (Sr) is proximal to the Mn cluster and lead to refined working models of the heteronuclear Mn4Ca cluster of the oxygen-evolving complex in PS II.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/10/26/ VL - 43 IS - 42 M3 - Article SP - 13328 EP - 13339 SN - 00062960 AB - 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzyme catalyzing the opening of the cyclopropane ring of ACC to give α-ketobutyric acid and ammonia as the products. This ring cleavage reaction is unusual because the substrate, ACC, contains no abstractable α-proton and the carboxyl group is retained in the product. How the reaction is initiated to generate an α-carbanionic intermediate, which is the common entry for most PLP-dependent reactions, is not obvious. To gain insight into this unusual ring-opening reaction, we have solved the crystal structures of ACC deaminase from Pseudomonas sp. ACP in complex with substrate ACC, an inhibitor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-phosphonate (ACP), the product a-ketobutyrate, and two D-amino acids. Several notable observations of these structural studies include the following: (1) a typically elusive gem-diamine intermediate is trapped in the enzyme complex with ACC or ACP; (2) Tyr294 is in close proximity (3.0 Å) to the pro-S methylene carbon of ACC in the gem-diamine complexes, implicating a direct role of this residue in the ring-opening reaction; (3) Tyr294 may also be responsible for the abstraction of the α-proton from D-amino acids, a prelude to the subsequent deamination reaction; (4) the steric hindrance precludes accessibility of active site functional groups to the L-amino acid substrates and may account for the stereospecificity of this enzyme toward D-amino acids. These structural data provide evidence favoring a mechanism in which the ring cleavage is induced by a nucleophilic attack at the pro-S β-methylene carbon of ACC, with Tyr294 as the nucleophile. However, these observations are also consistent with an alternative mechanistic possibility in which the ring opening is acid-catalyzed and may be facilitated by charge relay through PLP, where Tyr294 functions as a general acid. The results of mutagenesis studies corroborated the assigned critical role for Tyr294 in the catalysis.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/10/28/ VL - 431 IS - 7012 M3 - Article SP - 1078 EP - 1081 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - Determining the nature of the electronic phases that compete with superconductivity in high-transition-temperature (high- Tc) superconductors is one of the deepest problems in condensed matter physics. One candidate is the `stripe' phase, in which the charge carriers (holes) condense into rivers of charge that separate regions of antiferro magnetism. A related but lesser known system is the `spin ladder', which consists of two coupled chains of magnetic ions forming an array of rungs. A doped ladder can be thought of as a high-Tc material with lower dimensionality, and has been predicted to exhibit both superconductivity and an insulating `hole crystal' phase in which the carriers are localized through many-body interactions. The competition between the two resembles that believed to operate between stripes and superconductivity in high-Tc materials. Here we report the existence of a hole crystal in the doped spin ladder of Sr14Cu24O41 using a resonant X-ray scattering technique. This phase exists without a detectable distortion in the structural lattice, indicating that it arises from many-body electronic effects. Our measurements confirm theoretical predictions, and support the picture that proximity to charge ordered states is a general property of superconductivity in copper oxides.

The recent discovery that Ras•GTP is an allosteric activator of SOS indicated that the regulation of SOS is more complex than originally envisaged. We now present crystallographic and biochemical analyses of a construct of SOS that contains the Dbl homology-pleckstrin homology (DH-PH) and catalytic domains and show that the DH-PH unit blocks the allosteric binding site for Ras and suppresses the activity of SOS. SOS is dependent on Ras binding to the allosteric site for both a lower level of activity, which is a result of Ras•GDP binding, and maximal activity, which requires Ras•GTP. The action of the DH-PH unit gates a reciprocal interaction between Ras and SOS, in which Ras converts SOS from low to high activity forms as Ras•GDP is converted to Ras•GTP by SOS.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10/29/ VL - 279 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 45462 EP - 45469 SN - 00219258 AB - Alterations in the expression of the recently discovered apolipoprotein A5 gene strongly affect plasma triglyceride levels. In this study, we investigated the contribution of APOA5 to the liver X receptor (LXR) ligand-mediated effect on plasma triglyceride levels. Following treatment with the LXR ligand T0901317, we found that APOA5 mRNA levels were decreased in hepatoma cell lines. The observation that no down-regulation of APOA5 promoter activity was obtained by LXR-retinoid X receptor (RXR) co-transfection prompted us to explore the possible involvement of the known LXR target gene SREBP-1c (sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c). In fact, we found that co-transfection with the active form of SREBP-1c down-regulated APOA5 promoter activity in a dose-dependent manner. We then scanned the human APOA5 promoter sequence and identified two putative E-box elements that were able to bind specifically SREBP-1c in gel-shift assays and were shown to be functional by mutation analysis. Subsequent suppression of SREBP-1 mRNA through small interfering RNA interference abolished the decrease of APOA5 mRNA in response to T0901317. Finally, administration of T0901317 to hAPOA5 transgenic mice revealed a significant decrease of APOA5 mRNA in liver tissue and circulating apolipoprotein AV protein in plasma, confirming that the described down-regulation also occurs in vivo. Taken together, our results demonstrate that APOA5 gene expression is regulated by the LXR ligand T0901317 in a negative manner through SREBP-1c. These findings may provide a new mechanism responsible for the elevation of plasma triglyceride levels by LXR ligands and support the development of selective LXR agonists, not affecting SREBP-1c, as beneficial modulators of lipid metabolism.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/10/29/ VL - 279 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 46135 EP - 46142 SN - 00219258 AB - The 20 S proteasome has been suggested to play a critical role in mediating the degradation of abnormal proteins under conditions of oxidative stress and has been found in tight association with the molecular chaperone Hsp90. To elucidate the role of Hsp90 in promoting the degradation of oxidized calmodulin (CaMox), we have purified red blood cell 20 S proteasomes free of Hsp90 and assessed their ability to degrade CaMox in the absence or presence of Hsp90. Purified 20 S proteasome does not degrade CaMox unless Hsp90 is added. CaMox degradation is sensitive to both proteasome and Hsp90-specific inhibitors and is further enhanced in the presence of 2 mM ATP. Irrespective of the presence of Hsp90, we find that unoxidized CaM is not significantly degraded. Direct binding measurements demonstrate that Hsp90 selectively associates with CaMox; essentially no binding is observed between Hsp90 and unoxidized CaM. These results indicate that Hsp90 in association with the 20 S proteasome can selectively associate with oxidized and partially unfolded CaM to promote degradation by the proteasome.

In Lebanon, it forms a 160-km-long restraining bend responsible for the uplift of Mount Lebanon. The resulting transpression is partitioned between the offshore Tripoli–Roûm thrust and the Yammoûneh strike–slip fault. There are few quantitative constraints on the Quaternary slip rate along the LFS. Here we present a direct estimate of the ∼25-ka mean slip rate on the Yammoûneh fault. Mapped offsets of alluvial fans at two sites ∼50 km apart on the eastern flank of Mount Lebanon range between 24±2 and 80±8 m. About 30 limestone cobbles sampled on these fans yield in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure ages mostly between 6 and 27 ka. A statistical assessment of offsets versus ages provides bounds on the Late Pleistocene–Holocene slip rate on the fault: 3.8–6.4 mm/yr. These results are consistent with long-term geological inferences, confirming that the Yammoûneh fault is the main strike–slip branch of the LFS in Lebanon. They illustrate both the potential and the difficulties of using in situ cosmogenic 36Cl dating of limestone-clast fan deposits for deciphering tectonic and geomorphic processes in the Mediterranean.

To aid in this realization, novel methods for monitoring neuronal cell function must be developed and characterized. In this study, we report the application of real-time imaging of luciferase-catalyzed ATP chemiluminescence for the investigation of ATP release from whole central nervous systems of the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Release of ATP from Lymnaea ganglia varied among the different ganglia as well as within individual ganglia. Furthermore, the magnitude of ATP release varied following the stimulation of neurons with common neurotransmitters.

The columnar growth character of film was imitated by an anisotropic network distribution and the effect of interfaces was considered during the calculation. The numerical calculation for the parallel and perpendicular conductivities as a function of crystalline volume fraction suggests a correlation between the film structure and its transport anisotropy. When , transport anisotropy vanishes. The simulation results agree well with the experimental data.

The calibration, processing, quality control, and archival methodology for handheld sun photometers are described here, along with their deployment statistics. Data processing has been standardized for all instruments by using identical calibration methods, ancillary data, and processing software. Statistical analysis reveals a dataset influenced by its temporal and geographic distribution, while multimodal histograms for aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and Ångström exponent reveal varied aerosol populations. A K-means unsupervised classification technique is used to separate these populations. This separation is validated by showing individual classes are more likely to be log-normally (for AOTs) or normally (for Ångström exponents) distributed than the dataset as a whole. Properties for each class are presented, along with the characteristics of each class by regional oceanic basin. Results also compare favorably with maritime aerosols measured by land-based AERONET Cimels in island sites, while providing data coverage in previously sparsely sampled regions. Aerosol models employed by SeaWiFS (Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor) also compare favorably with these ground based measurements.

A relative Bragg width of δq/Q ∼ 10-4 can be achieved with reasonable collimation settings.

The enzymes of the non-mevalonate pathway for IPP synthesis, which is unique to many pathogenic bacteria, have recently been explored as targets for antibiotic development. Several crystal structures of 2 C-methyl-D-erythritol- 2,4-cyclophosphate (MECDP) synthase, the fifth of seven enzymes involved in the non-mevalonate pathway for synthesis of IPP, have been reported; however, the composition of metal ions in the active site and the presence of a hydrophobic cavity along the non-crystallographic threefold symmetry axis has varied between the reported structures. Here, the structure of MEDCP from Shewanella oneidensis MR1 (SO3437) was determined to 1.6 Å resolution in the absence of substrate. The presence of a zinc ion in the active-site cleft, tetrahedrally coordinated by two histidine side chains, an aspartic acid side chain and an ambiguous fourth ligand, was confirmed by zinc anomalous diffraction. Based on analysis of anomalous diffraction data and typical metal-to-ligand bond lengths, it was concluded that an octahedral sodium ion was 3.94 Å from the zinc ion. A hydrophobic cavity was observed along the threefold non-crystallographic symmetry axis, filled by a well defined non-protein electron density that could be modeled as farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), a downstream product of IPP, suggesting a possible feedback mechanism for enzyme regulation. The high- resolution data clarified the FPP-binding mode compared with previously reported structures. Multiple sequence alignment indicated that the residues critical to the formation of the hydrophobic cavity and for coordinating the pyrophosphate group of FPP are present in the majority of MEDCP synthase enzymes, supporting the idea of a specialized biological function related to FPP binding in a subfamily of MEDCP synthase homologs.

Several data sets were collected from both forms and used for substructure solution and phasing using various protocols, employing anomalous, isomorphous or both these signals. It was shown that combination of the anomalous and isomorphous signals in the form of the RIPAS (radiation-damage-induced phasing with anomalous scattering) strategy is beneficial for both locating the substructure and subsequent phasing.

This experiment is designed to deeply probe several aspects of the Standard Model, the baseline particle physics theory for several decades. At the very least, BTeV will make very precise measurements of many Standard Model parameters. It is hoped that these precise measurements will point the way to a more fundamental theory of particle physics.

Using the Fast Onboard Recording of Transient Events satellite (FORTÉ), it has been shown that trans-ionospheric pulsed radio-frequency (RF) signals carry sufficient information to infer the peak electron density of the ionosphere, in addition to the total electron content along a ray path between a source and a receiver. In this paper the detailed refractive properties of the ionosphere and the birefringent splitting of RF waves in the Earth’s magnetic field are modeled using the Appleton–Hartree equation and an electron density profile based on the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). Applications of this model to FORTÉ data provide additional information on the vertical profile of ionospheric plasma density at the time and place of measurement. Results of the FORTÉ observations are compared with the IRI.

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 42 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2276 EP - 2283 SN - 00011452 AB - A new concept for the low-speed propulsion mode in rocket-based combined cycle engines has been developed as part of the NASA GTX program. This concept, called the independent ramjet stream (IRS) cycle, is a variation of the traditional ejector ramjet (ER) design and involves the injection of hydrogen fuel directly into the airstream, where it is ignited by the rocket plume. The advantage of the IRS design is that it allows for a single large rocket instead of several smaller rockets, and its required combustor length is smaller than that of a traditional ER design. Both of these features make the IRS design lighter. Experiments and computational fluid dynamics are currently being used to evaluate the feasibility of the new design. In this work, a Navier—Stokes code valid for general reactive flows is applied to the model engine under cold-flow, ER, and IRS cycle operation. Pressure distributions corresponding to cold-flow and ER operation are compared with experimental data. The engine response under IRS cycle operation is examined for different reaction models and grid sizes. The solutions exhibit a high sensitivity to both grid resolution and reaction mechanism but do indicate that thermal throat ramjet operation is possible through the injection and burning of additional fuel into the airstream.

We report results for the structure of the apatite (100)-water interface obtained with high-resolution specular X-ray reflectivity from a natural growth surface of Durango fluorapatite. A uniform termination at the crystallographic unit-cell boundary was determined. An atomistic model of the interracial structure is compared to the experimental results and optimized through non-linear least-squares fitting in which the structural parameters were selected to be both physically and chemically plausible. The best-fit structure includes a Ca- and/or F-deficient outermost surface, minimal structural relaxations of the near-surface apatite crystal, and the presence of a layered interfacial water structure exhibiting two distinct water layers. The height of the first water layer is 2.64(9) Å relative to the relaxed surface with 3.5(1.3) water molecules per surface unit-cell area (64.9 Ų). A second layer of adsorbed water is found 1.53(5) Å above the first layer, followed by a nearly featureless profile of the bulk liquid water. The layered structure of water is interpreted as being due to hydrogen bonding at the solid-water interface. The interfacial structure shows a strong similarity with the octacalcium phosphate structure projected along a surface normal direction.

Experiments were conducted for 4-6 d at 600 °C and 200 MPa. After 6 d, the 150 µm diameter albite grains had 5-20 µm rims in which Na was nearly completely replaced by K and in which the O was strongly enriched in 18O. The boundary between the core albite and the K-feldspar replacement is sharp and decorated with numerous pores. The distribution of Na and K, determined by electron probe microanalysis, is uniform within the core and rim and has an abrupt discontinuity at the interface. No evidence exists for K-Na interdiffusion at the resolution of electron probe. The NanoSIMS shows that the interface is also sharp in the distribution of 18O and 16O. The NanoSIMS image data and the electron probe data were coregistered; principal components analysis of the merged data set shows that 86% of the total variance in the data result from a single principal component loaded by the replacement of Na by K and 18O. The combined electron probe and NanoSIMS analyses indicate that both cation and isotope exchange occurred during solution and reprecipitation of the feldspar.

The three compounds have similar inorganic core masses (˜29 kDa, ˜145 Au atoms) but different n-alkanethiolate ligands associated with each cluster compound (Au:SR, R = butane, hexane, dodecane). Irradiation of neat films (laser desorption/ionization) and films generated by dilution of the cluster compounds in an organic add matrix (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization) with a nitrogen laser (337 mm) produced distinct ion abundances that are relevant to different structural aspects of the cluster compound. Laser desorption/ionization of neat Au:SR compound films produces ions consistent with the inorganic core mass (i.e., devoid of original hydrocarbon content). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization produces either ions with m/z values consistent with the core mass of the cluster compounds or ions with m/z values consistent with the approximate molecular weight of the cluster compounds, depending on ionization conditions. The ion abundances, and ionization conditions under which they are detected, provide insight into desorption/ionization processes for these unique cluster compounds as well as other analytes typically studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/11//11/1/2004 VL - 76 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 6214 EP - 6228 SN - 00032700 AB - Large-amplitude sinusoidal ac voltammetric techniques, when analyzed in the frequency domain using the Fourier transform-inverse Fourier transform sequence, produce the expected dc and fundamental harmonic ac responses in addition to very substantial second, third, and higher ac harmonics that arise from the presence of significant nonlinearity. A full numerical simulation of the process, Red &rlang; Ox + e-, incorporates terms for the uncompensated resistance (Ru), capacitance of the double layer (Cdl), and slow electron transfer kinetics (in particular, the reversible potential (E°), rate constant (k0), and charge transfer coefficient (α) from the Butler-Volmer model). Identification of intuitively obvious patterns of behavior (with characteristically different sensitivity regimes) in dc, fundamental, and higher harmonic terms enables simple protocols to be developed to estimate Ru, Cdl, E°, k0, and α. Thus, if large-amplitude sinusoidal cyclic voltammograms are obtained for two concentrations of the reduced species, data obtained from analysis of the recovered signals provide initial estimates of parameters as follows: (a) the dc cyclic component provides an estimate of E° (because the Ru and k0 effects are minimized); (b) the fundamental harmonic provides an estimate of Cdl (because it has a high capacitance-to-faradaic current ratio); and (c) the second harmonic provides an estimate of Ru, k0, and a (because the Cdl effect is minimized). Methods of refining the initial estimates are then implemented. As a check on the fidelity of the parameters (estimated on the basis of an essentially heuristic approach that solely utilizes the dc, fundamental, and second harmonic voltammograms), comparison of the predicted simulated and experimental third (or higher) harmonic voltammograms can be made to verify that agreement between theory and experiment has been achieved at a predetermined level. The use of the heuristic pattern recognition approach to evaluate the oxidation of ferrocene at a platinum electrode (a reversible process) in the very high resistance solvent dichloromethane (0.1 M Bu4NPF6) and the reduction of [Fe(CN6)]3- at a glassy carbon electrode (a quasi-reversible process) in much lower resistance but higher capacitance conditions found in aqueous (0.5 M KC1) media is described and verifies the inherent advantages of employing large-amplitude sinusoidal techniques in quantitative studies of electrode processes.

Our attention was focused on the neutron flux and its spectrum, capture to fission ratio of 239Pu and the temperature coefficient of fuel and moderator. The DB-MHR is a graphite-moderated helium-cooled reactor proposed by General Atomic to address the need for a fast and efficient incineration of plutonium for non-proliferation purposes as well as the management of light water reactors (LWRs) waste. In fact, recent studies have shown that the use of the DB-MHR coupled to ordinary LWRs would keep constant the world inventory of plutonium for a reactor fleet producing 400 TWe/y. In the present studies, the DB-MHR is loaded with Np–Pu driver fuel (DF) with an isotopic composition corresponding to LWRs spent fuel waste. DF uses fissile isotopes (e.g. 239Pu and 241Pu), previously generated in the LWRs, and maintains criticality conditions in the DB-MHR. After an irradiation of three years, the spent DF is reprocessed and its remaining actinides are manufactured into fresh transmutation fuel (TF). TF mainly contains non-fissile actinides which undergo neutron capture and transmutation during the subsequent three-year irradiation in the DB-MHR. At the same time, TF provides control and negative reactivity feedback to the reactor. After extraction of the spent TF, irradiated for three years, over 94% of 239Pu and 53% of all actinides coming from LWRs waste will have been destroyed in the DB-MHR. In this paper we look at the operation conditions at equilibrium for the DB-MHR and evaluate fluxes and reactivity responses using state of the art 3-D Monte Carlo simulations.

In this first part, we use the Schwinger–Keldysh formalism to derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations, accurate to order ℎ, for massive chiral fermions, scalar particles, and for the corresponding CP-conjugate states. Our considerations include complex mass terms and mixing fermion and scalar fields, such that CP-violation is naturally included, rendering the equations particularly suitable for studies of baryogenesis at a first order electroweak phase transition. We provide a quantitative criterion in which case the reduction to the diagonal kinetic equations in the mass eigenbasis is justified, leading to a quasiparticle picture even in the case of mixing scalar or fermionic particles. Within the approximations we make, it is possible to first study the Boltzmann equations without the collision term. In a second paper [Ann. Phys. xxx (2004) xxx] we discuss the collision terms and reduce the Boltzmann equations to fluid equations.

SN - 15435938 AB - The effect of anthropogenic emissions from activities, such as fossil-fuel, biomass, and biofuel burning; transportation; and land-clearing; have a profound impact on the climate system. The impact of these activities is manifested in observed changes in temperature, precipitation, sea-level rise, melting of glaciers, air quality, health, and agriculture yields, to name a few. The obvious question to ask is the role that these different processes play in affecting climate and what action could one impose to curtail or constrain adverse human impacts on climate. Greenhouse gases have long been studied, as they play a major role in changing climate. But over the past 10-20 years, aerosols have emerged as the other big contenders in climate change studies. This review focuses on the current understanding of the effects of aerosols on climate, with an emphasis on the thermodynamical and indirect aerosol effects. We also examine available measurements that could be used to decipher the aerosol influence on climate, with an outlook on how the uncertainties in aerosol effects may impact future climate predictions and policy changes.

SN - 15435938 AB - New energy efficiency policies have been introduced around the world. Historically, most energy models were reasonably equipped to assess the impact of classical policies, such as a subsidy or change in taxation. However, these tools are often insufficient to assess the impact of alternative policy instruments. We evaluate the so-called engineering economic models used to assess future industrial energy use. Engineering economic models include the level of detail commonly needed to model the new types of policies considered. We explore approaches to improve the realism and policy relevance of engineering economic modeling frameworks. We also explore solutions to strengthen the policy usefulness of engineering economic analysis that can be built from a framework of multidisciplinary cooperation. The review discusses the main modeling approaches currently used and evaluates the weaknesses in current models. We focus on the needs to further improve the models. We identify research priorities for the modeling framework, technology representation in models, policy evaluation, and modeling of decision-making behavior.

SN - 15435938 AB - Energy and energy technologies have a central role in social and economic development at all scales, from household and community to regional and national. Among its welfare effects, energy is closely linked with public health both positively and negatively, the latter through environmental pollution and degradation. We review the current research on how energy use and energy technologies influence public health, emphasizing the risks associated with indoor and ambient air pollution from energy use, and the links between the local and global environmental health impacts of energy use. This review illustrates that, despite their large public health implications, most energy policies and programs in the developing world are fundamentally treated as components of overall economic development, without explicit assessment of their health benefits or hazards. Closer integration of health in energy management can facilitate the development of policies and programs that increase welfare and minimize negative health outcomes. Renewable energy technologies are used as an example of how an integrated energy-health approach can be used in policy analysis and formulation.

We investigated artificial neural networks for analyzing the distributions of nitrite reductase genes (nirS and nirK) and two sets of dissimilatory sulfite reductase genes (dsrAB1 and dsrAB2) in small sample sets. Data reduction (to reduce the number of input parameters), cross-validation (to measure the generalization error), weight decay (to adjust model parameters to reduce generalization error), and importance analysis (to determine which variables had the most influence) were useful in developing and interpreting neural network models that could be used to infer relationships between geochemistry and gene distributions. A robust relationship was observed between geochemistry and the frequencies of genes that were not closely related to known dissimilatory sulfite reductase genes (dsrAB2). Uranium and sulfate appeared to be the most related to distribution of two groups of these unusual dsrAB-related genes. For the other three groups, the distributions appeared to be related to pH, nickel, nonpurgeable organic carbon, and total organic carbon. The models relating the geochemical parameters to the distributions of the nirS, nirK, and dsrAB1 genes did not generalize as well as the models for dsrAB2. The data also illustrate the danger (generating a model that has a high generalization error) of not using a validation approach in evaluating the meaningfulness of the fit of linear or nonlinear models to such small sample sizes.

These surfaces display strong absorption of infrared radiation at energies below the band gap of crystalline silicon. We report the dependence of this below-band gap absorption on microstructuring conditions (laser fluence, number of laser pulses, and background pressure of SF6) along with structural and chemical characterization of the material. Significant amounts of sulfur are incorporated into the silicon over a wide range of microstructuring conditions; the sulfur is embedded in a disordered nanocrystalline layer less than 1 μm thick that covers the microstructures. The most likely mechanism for the below-band gap absorption is the formation of a band of sulfur impurity states overlapping the silicon band edge, reducing the band gap from 1.1 eV to approximately 0.4 eV.

SN - 09478396 AB - The interaction of intense, ultra-short laser pulses (USLP) with a surface of transparent dielectrics is considered. The combination of multi-photon absorption and impact ionization generates a plasma layer at the dielectric boundary. Interaction with the plasma self-consistently determines the amount of reflected, transmitted and absorbed light, and the spatial distribution of electron density. In the present paper, we model the interaction of USLP with transparent dielectrics. We calculate the evolution of electron density profiles and the variation of reflection, transmission and absorption of laser radiation during the pulse. We show that the laser-created surface plasma acts as a filter transmitting only the leading edge of the laser pulse. The transmitted energy is approximately fixed, nearly independent of input pulse energy. The transmitted energy increases with pulse duration. This increased energy is manifested in the formation of cylindrical shock waves directly applicable to recent experiments investigating absorption and shock generation in water.

The sample growth was epitaxial with the (1010) plane of Co and Re parallel to the (1 120) plane of Al2O3, and the [001] direction of Re and Co coinciding with that of the Al2O3. Both low-angle and high-angle Z-contrast STEM images show a very uniform layer thickness. However, the interface roughness between the Re and Co layers monotonically increases with interface distance from the substrate. These results strongly imply that, in the epitaxial Re/Co superlattice system, interface roughness plays a more important role in the giant magnetoresistance effect than thickness fluctuations of the spacer layer. Previous anisotropic magnetoresistance measurements can he explained in terms of the observed atomic-scale structure.

A statistical analysis of the local bias of individual micron-size magnetic domains demonstrates an increasing bias field with decreasing domain size as expected for a random distribution of pinned, uncompensated spins, which are believed to mediate the interface coupling. A linear dependence with the inverse domain diameter is found.

Such flows give rise to Marangoni forces which under proper conditions prevent droplet coalescence, cause fluid motion, and dewetting. We present a study of adsorbed and applied fluid movement on a solid surface driven by surface tension gradients created by thermal gradients. Flexible control over the silicone oil and 1,3,5-trinitrotoluene movement is accomplished with an array of individually controllable gold thin film thermal elements on a fused silica substrate surface. We thus demonstrate unlimited fluid movements in one dimension.

In this letter, a modified scanning impedance microscopy (SIM) technique is proposed to extend the nanoscale transport measurements of intrinsic material properties to the nonlinear regime, through detection of frequency harmonics, and exemplified by a detailed study of a prototypical metal–semiconductor interface. The imaging mechanism, surface–tip contrast transfer, optimal experimental conditions, and potential applications of nonlinear SIM are discussed. This technique can be readily transferred to most cantilever-based scanning probe microscopes.

Results have indicated that liver tumors can be treated by BNCT after removal of the liver from the body. At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, compact neutron generators based on 2H(d,n)3He (D–D) or 3H(t,n)4He (D–T) fusion reactions are being developed. Preliminary simulations of the applicability of 2.45 MeV D–D fusion and 14.1 MeV D–T fusion neutrons for in vivo liver tumor BNCT, without removing the liver from the body, have been carried out. MCNP simulations were performed in order to find a moderator configuration for creating a neutron beam of optimal neutron energy and to create a source model for dose calculations with the simulation environment for radiotherapy applications (SERA) treatment planning program. SERA dose calculations were performed in a patient model based on CT scans of the body. The BNCT dose distribution in liver and surrounding healthy organs was calculated with rectangular beam aperture sizes of 20 cm×20 cm and 25 cm×25 cm. Collimator thicknesses of 10 and 15 cm were used. The beam strength to obtain a practical treatment time was studied. In this paper, the beam shaping assemblies for D–D and D–T neutron generators and dose calculation results are presented.

T1 - The effect of dexamethasone on the uptake of p-boronophenylalanine in the rat brain and intracranial 9L gliosarcoma JO - Applied Radiation & Isotopes JF - Applied Radiation & Isotopes Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 61 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 917 EP - 921 SN - 09698043 AB - The steroid dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) is routinely used to treat edema in brain tumor patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of DEX on the uptake of boronophenylalanine (BPA) using the rat 9L gliosarcoma tumor model and surrounding brain tissue. Two steroid dosage protocols were used. The high-dose DEX protocol involved five 3 mg/kg intraperitoneal injections at 47, 35, 23, 11 and 1 h prior to the administration of the BPA for a total dose of 15 mg DEX/kg rat. The low-dose DEX administration protocol involved two doses of 1.5 mg/kg at 17 h and 1 h prior to BPA injection for a total dose of 3 mg DEX/kg rat. The control animals received no pretreatment, prior to the administration of BPA. Seventeen days after tumor implantation, rats were injected i.p. with 0.014 ml/g body weight BPA solution (1200 mg BPA/kg; ∼59 mg 10B/kg). In all groups, rats were euthanized at 3 h after BPA injection. Administration of the steroid had an effect on tumor weight, which decreased to ∼78% (p>0.05) of the control weight in the low-dose DEX group, and ∼48% (p<0.001) of the control weight in the high-dose DEX group. At 3 h after the administration of BPA, the concentration of boron in tumor was comparable (p>0.1) in the control and high-dose DEX groups. The lowest mean value (73.8±1.6 μg/g) was obtained in the low-dose DEX group. This was significantly lower (p>0.02) than the tumor boron contents in the high-dose DEX and control groups, which were 81.1±1.9 and 79.9±1.7 μg/g, respectively. Tumor:blood boron partition ratios for the control, low- and high-dose DEX groups were 2.3, 2.3 and 2.5, respectively. Boron concentrations were also measured in the normal brain and in the zone of brain adjacent to the tumor exhibiting edema. Although treatment with DEX had no appreciable effect on boron uptake in the normal brain of the rat, after the administration of BPA, it did impact on the boron levels in the zone of peritumoral edema. After the high-dose DEX administration protocol, boron levels in the zone of edema were reduced by ∼14% (p<0.02). This finding suggests that BPA targeting of tumor cells in the peritumoral zone could be compromised by DEX. These cells appear to play a critical role in tumor recurrence after BNCT or conventional radiotherapy.

The Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) has reported the presence of clusters of event arrival directions in their highest energy data set. The High Resolution Fly’s Eye (HiRes) has accumulated an exposure in one of its monocular eyes at energies above 1019.5 eV comparable to that of AGASA. However, monocular events observed with an air fluorescence detector are characterized by highly asymmetric angular resolution. A method is developed for measuring autocorrelation with asymmetric angular resolution. It is concluded that HiRes-I observations are consistent with no autocorrelation and that the sensitivity to clustering of the HiRes-I detector is comparable to that of the reported AGASA data set. Furthermore, we state with a 90% confidence level that not more than 13% of the observed HiRes-I events above 1019.5 eV could be sharing common arrival directions. However, because a measure of autocorrelation makes no assumption of the underlying astrophysical mechanism that results in clustering phenomena, we cannot claim that the HiRes monocular analysis and the AGASA analysis are inconsistent beyond a specified confidence level.

Comparisons are carried out for retrievals of both single-layer and multilayer clouds as seen by radar, but only for satellite-detected clouds with 100% amount within a 0.3×0.3° domain centered at the ARM site of one cloud type (i.e., low, middle, or high). Mean differences, with 95% confidence limits, between radar- and satellite-retrieved cloud-top heights (i.e., radar-retrieved cloud-top heights-satellite-retrieved cloud-top heights) are 0.3±0.3 km for single-layer clouds and -0.7±0.3 km for multilayer clouds. The study reveals that for thick clouds (i.e., cloud base ≤1 km and cloud thickness ≥10 km), which are representative of convective towers with no/light precipitation as well as thick anvil clouds, retrievals from the MMCR agree well with those from satellite with mean differences of 0.0±0.4 and -0.2±0.3 km for single-layer and multilayer clouds, respectively. For clouds of lesser thickness, mean cloud-top heights derived from satellite are lower than those derived from radar by as much as 2.0 km. It is also shown that for convective clouds with heavy precipitation, MMCR retrievals underestimate the cloud-top heights significantly.

Inhomogeneous clouds are generated by a new stochastic model: the tree-driven mass accumulation process (tdMAP). This model is able to provide stratocumulus and cumulus cloud fields with properties close to those observed in real clouds. A sensitivity study of cloud parameters is done by analyzing differences between 3D fluxes simulated by the spherical harmonic discrete ordinate method and three “standard” models likely to be used in general circulation models: plane-parallel homogeneous cloud model (PPH), PPH with fractional cloud coverage model (FCPPH) and independent pixel approximation model (IPA). We show that thermal fluxes are strong functions of fractional cloud coverage, mean optical depth, mean geometrical thickness and cloud base altitude. Fluctuations of “in-cloud” horizontal variability in optical depth and cloud-top bumps have negligible effects in the whole. We also showed that PPH, FCPPH and IPA models are not suitable to compute thermal fluxes of flat top fractional inhomogeneous cloud layer, except for completely overcast cloud. This implies that horizontal transport of photon at thermal wavelengths is important when cloudy cells are separated by optically thin regions.

Sulfur dioxide emission values were obtained from a statistical inventory, and re origins were retrieved by satellite remote sensing on a 0.5° grid. Comparisons between annual mean SO2 emissions and re showed generally decreasing re values, explained by the Twomey effect. The existence of the Twomey effect is supported by comparisons with simulated aerosol optical depths. Results further suggest that clouds over land show sensitivity to the Twomey effect as well as clouds over the ocean.

SN - 00018244 AB - Down syndrome occurs every 1/1000 births and is the most frequent genetic cause of mental retardation. The genetic substrate of Down syndrome, an extra chromosome 21, was discovered by Lejeune, half-a-century ago, and the chromosome has been fully sequenced, although the gene(s) implicated in the mental retardation observed with the syndrome are still unknown. Observations of patients with partial trisomy of the 21q22.2 fragment suggest that most of the signs of the syndrome, including mental retardation, could be influenced by the region referred to as the Down Minimal Chromosomal Region-1 (DCR-1) for that reason. Using the extensive syntenies between human chromosome 21 and murine chromosome 16, Smith et al. (1995, 1997) developed transpolygenic mice with human chromosome 21 fragments covering the DCR-1. Here, we explored cognitive performances in mice over-expressing the genes carried by these fragments with the Morris water-maze and fear-conditioning procedures. The 152F7 transpolygenic mice had lower performance levels, compared to non-transgenic and other transgenic mice on most measurements in the water-maze. In fear-conditioning, all transgenic mice recorded lower performance levels compared to controls in the altered context stage. The 230E8, 141G6 and 285E6 mice failed to learn or react when the sound used as the conditional stimulus was added. These results showed that the 152F7 region played a crucial role in cognitive impairment, supporting the hypothesis of DYRK-1A gene involvement. However, the data presented here also suggest that other chromosomal regions within the DCR-1 may be involved in specific cognitive functions.

Moreover, in cases where a biological agent release has been identified, forensic analysis demands detailed genetic signature data for accurate strain identification and attribution. To date, nucleic acid sequences have provided the most robust and phylogentically illuminating signature information. Nucleic acid signature sequences are not often linked to genomic or extrachromosomal determinants of virulence, a link that would further facilitate discrimination between pathogens and closely related species. Inextricably coupling genetic determinants of virulence with highly informative nucleic acid signatures would provide a robust means of identifying human, livestock, and agricultural pathogens. By means of example, we present here an overview of two general applications of microarray-based methods for: (1) the identification of candidate virulence factors; and (2) the analysis of genetic polymorphisms that are coupled to Bacillus anthracis virulence factors using an accurate, low cost solid-phase mini-sequencing assay. We show that microarray-based analysis of gene expression can identify potential virulence associated genes for use as candidate signature targets, and, further, that microarray-based single nucleotide polymorphism assays provide a robust platform for the detection and identification of signature sequences in a manner independent of the genetic background in which the signature is embedded. We discuss the strategy as a general approach or pipeline for the discovery of virulence-linked nucleic acid signatures for biothreat agents.

SN - 00068314 AB - The temporal evolution and spatial structure of the aerosol layer (AL) height as observed with an airborne downlooking lidar over the Swiss Alps were investigated with a three-dimensional mesoscale numerical model and a particle dispersion model. Convective boundary-layer (CBL) heights were derived from the mesoscale model output, and the behaviour of surface-released particles was investigated with the particle dispersion model. While a previous investigation, using data from the same field study, equated the observed AL height with the CBL height, the results of the current investigation indicate that there is a considerable difference between AL and CBL heights caused by mixing and transport processes between the CBL and the free atmosphere. CBL heights show a more terrain-following behaviour and are lower than AL heights. We argue that processes causing the difference between AL and CBL heights are common over mountainous terrain and that the AL height is a length scale that needs to be considered in air pollution studies in mountainous terrain.

Therefore, we aimed to assess whether dopamine (DA) D2 receptors and transporters (DAT) are affected in the basal ganglia of subjects with HIV, and how these changes relate to dementia status. Fifteen HIV subjects (age 44.5 +/- 11 years; CD4 185 +/- 130/mm[3]) and 13 seronegative controls (42 +/- 12 years) were evaluated with PET to assess availability of DAT ([[11]C]cocaine) and DA D2 receptor ([[11]C]raclopride). HIV patients with associated dementia (HAD), but not those without dementia (ND) had significantly lower DAT availability in putamen (-19.3%, P = 0.009) and ventral striatum (-13.6%, P = 0.03) compared with seronegative controls. Higher plasma viral load in the HIV dementia patients correlated with lower DAT in the caudate (r =-0.7, P = 0.02) and putamen (r =-0.69, P = 0.03). DA D2 receptor availability, however, showed mild and non-significant decreases in HIV patients. These results provide the first evidence of DA terminal injury in HIV dementia patients, and suggest that decreased DAT may contribute to the pathogenesis of HIV dementia. The greater DAT decrease in the putamen than in the caudate parallels that observed in Parkinson's disease. The inverse relationship between viral burden and DAT availability further supports HIV-mediated neurotoxicity to dopaminergic terminals.

SN - 01436244 AB - Thermal building simulation programs, such as EnergyPlus, compute numerical approximations to solutions of systems of differential algebraic equations. We show that the exact solutions of these systems are usually smooth in the building design parameters, but that the numerical approximations are usually discontinuous due to adaptive solvers and finite precision computations. If such approximate solutions are used in conjunction with optimization algorithms that depend on smoothness of the cost function, one needs to compute highprecision solutions, which can be prohibitively expensive if used for all iterations. For such situations, we have developed an adaptive simulation–precision control algorithm that can be used in conjunction with a family of derivative free optimization algorithms. We present the main ingredients of the composite algorithms, we prove that the resulting composite algorithms construct sequences with stationary accumulation points, and we show by numerical experiments that using coarse approximations in the early iterations can significantly reduce computation time.

The solid-state NMR method is a relatively new biophysical technique that holds particular promise for determining the structures of peptides and proteins that are located within the cell membrane. This method provides information on the orientation of the peptide planes relative to an external magnetic field. In this article, we discuss some of the mathematical methods and tools that are useful in deriving the atomic structure from these orientational data. We first discuss how the data are viewed as tensors, and how these tensors can be used to construct an initial atomic model, assuming ideal stereochemistry. We then discuss methods for refining the models using global optimization, with stereochemistry constraints treated as penalty functions. These two processes, initial model building followed by refinement, are the two crucial steps between data collection and the final atomic model.

Seasonal-long measurements with manual dendrometers indicated linear increases in stem circumference from April through June. Changes in stem circumference slowed after this time, and further increases were either modest or not observed. These effects coincided with a massive midsummer infestation of trees with southern pine beetles. High-resolution measurements with automated dendrometers confirmed that, while early-season increases in radial increment were positive, daily rates of radial increment for slow- and fast-growing trees were largely negative in early to late July. Sap velocity also declined despite favorable weather conditions, but these reductions were not observed until mid-August. Thus, effects on radial increment and stem circumference preceded those on sap velocity by several weeks. The timing of these events, combined with the known developmental rate of southern pine beetles, suggest that disruption of whole-tree water balance is not a prerequisite for the success of attacking beetles or for oviposition by colonizing females and larval development, all of which were completed by early August. Additional field experiments that use high-resolution techniques to measure stem increment and sap flow are needed to more rigorously characterize temporal changes in host physiology during initial invasion and colonization of trees by southern pine beetle.

Des mesures prises tout au long de la saison avec des dendromètres manuels ont montré une augmentation linéaire de la circonférence de la tige du mois d'avril au mois de juin. Par la suite, les changements dans la circonférence de la tige ont ralenti et les augmentations subséquentes ont été modestes ou n'ont pas été détectées. Ces effets coïncident avec une infestation massive des arbres par le dendroctone méridional du pin au milieu de l'été. Des mesures à haute résolution avec des dendromètres automatiques confirment que tandis que les augmentations de croissance radiale observées en début de saison étaient positives, le taux quotidien de croissance radiale chez les arbres à croissance lente et chez les arbres à croissance rapide était fortement négatif du début à la fin juillet. La vitesse d'écoulement de la sève a également diminué malgré des conditions météorologiques favorables mais cette diminution n'a pas été observée avant le milieu du mois d'août. Par conséquent, les effets sur l'accroissement radial et en circonférence ont précédé ceux sur la vitesse d'écoulement de la sève de plusieurs semaines. La séquence de ces événements dans le temps, combinée au taux de développement connu du dendroctone méridional du pin, laisse croire que la perturbation du bilan hydrique global d'un arbre n'est pas une condition préalable pour le succès d'une attaque par les insectes, de l'oviposition par les femelles ni du développement des larves qui était complété vers le début du mois d'août. D'autres expériences sur le terrain avec des techniques à haute résolution pour mesurer l'accroissement de la tige et la vitesse d'écoulement de la sève sont requises pour caractériser de façon plus rigoureuse les changements temporels dans la physiologie de l'hôte pendant l'invasion initiale et la colonisation des arbres par le dendroctone méridional du pin.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Forest Research is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A survey has been performed at 2.4, 2.8, and 3.6 keV, and for steps in energy of 100 eV over the 3.9–4.6 keV energy range. The analysis of 11 W spectra has shown the presence of a wide variety of ionization stages from Se-like to Cr-like W; the appearances of these ionization stages correlate well with the energy of their production. The present paper focuses on the identification of 63 experimental features of W ions in a spectral region from 5 to 6 Å (1 Å = 10–10 m) using calculations with inclusion of all ionization stages matching this spectral region. The majority of lines in all spectra have been identified and assigned to the 4f → 3d and 4d → 3p transitions. This is the first work that lists a comprehensive identification of so many resolved spectral features of X-ray M-shell transitions in W ions recorded in such detail in the laboratory.

The details of low-temperature scanning electron microscopy are described, along with a number of specimen preparation techniques. There are three main research topics presented in this paper: (1) ice morphology in entrained air voids, (2) development of air voids during early hydration and (3) progression of hydration in Portland cement. The first research focus examines ice in air voids at freezing temperatures, and various cement paste ages. The second research focus tracks the development of the air voids during the first hour of hydration. In the third research focus, the progression of hydration with and without accelerating and retarding admixtures is described. Each of these research programs demonstrates how low-temperature scanning electron microscopy can be an effective tool in Portland cement research.

The geminate kinetics are observed to be almost identical in both H2O and D2O. Kinetic analysis based upon the independent reaction time approximation indicates that the average separation between the electron and its geminate partners in D2O is 13% narrower than in H2O (2.1 vs. 2.4 nm). These observations suggest that, even at this high ionization energy, autoionization of water competes with direct ionization.

Genome annotation is the most important areas in genomics today. It is the process of identifying the functions of particular regions of genetic sequence data. Scientists need to be able to view and manipulate genomic data, automatically append annotations to it, and exchange information with other researchers. The SEED represents an ambitious effort to stimulate and support education, research, and collaboration relating to the analysis of genomic data. Its primary objective is to dramatically improve the ability of biologists to construct and propagate large-scale integrations containing hundreds of genomes, expression data, metabolic data and other forms of biological data needed to support the analysis of organisms. Its most notable benefit will be to enable analysis of newly sequenced genomes in the context of comparative data; such analysis will inevitably lead to far superior initial characterizations. The SEED leverages a network and functional design incorporating the notion of communicating peers. This design is in keeping with current directions in network services architecture while facilitating collaboration and cooperation in the biological community, including the participation of students and researchers at institutions lacking their own large information technology infrastructures.

Polarization results indicate that combinations of silicate and bicarbonate anions decrease the passive current density and raise the pitting potential. XPS results indicate the enrichment of silica at passive potentials and the formation of mixed FeCO3 and silica film at lower potentials. This change in film composition was responsible for the changes in corrosion rate at lower and higher potentials. XPS results also support the thermodynamic data with regard to the occurrence of second oxidation peak observed in the polarization curves to be due to the oxidation of FeCO3 to Fe2O3.

The calculation employs the formalism of strong coupling phonon superconductivity, as usually given in frequency space. The directional nature of strain is included by expressing the equations of strong coupling in wave vector space. The relation between wave number and frequency is provided by the dispersion relations incorporating the effective elastic constants for the symmetry directions of the cubic crystal. An analytical formalism is established in which the elastic constants are derived in a unified way from an assumed strain energy potential function. The form of the strain energy potential is governed by the cubic symmetry. The scalar invariants of the strain tensor under the cubic symmetry group are determined as a set of basis functions for the strain energy potential. In the harmonic approximation, the relation between the strain energy function and the elastic constants determines the harmonic amplitudes of the strain potential from the measured dispersion relations. The electron–phonon coupling characteristic is approximated in a simple analytic form determined by inspection of the experimentally determined tunneling and phonon density of states. The critical temperature is calculated, through the equations of strong coupling, as a sum over the crystal symmetry directions. The anharmonic terms of the strain energy potential are introduced as the source of the strain dependence of the critical temperature. The allowed form of the anharmonic terms is again governed by cubic symmetry. The amplitudes of the anharmonic terms are determined from the strain dependence characteristics of single crystals and composite superconductors. The calculations are found to represent the observed strain dependence well with a strain energy function that contains three scalar invariants of the strain tensor, including the spherical (hydrostatic) strain invariant, and the principle parts of the second and third invariants of the deviatoric strain tensor. The formalism is applied to the analysis of composite conductors. The characteristics of the strain dependence of wire and tape geometries under longitudinal and transverse loads are related to the symmetry of the conductor and direction of applied load. Implications of conductor symmetry and constraint on the measurement of the strain dependent properties are identified.

JO - Crystal Growth & Design JF - Crystal Growth & Design Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 4 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1113 EP - 1118 SN - 15287483 AB - Nature's use of proteins to direct and control the synthesis of inorganic solids represents an important paradigm for bioinspired materials synthesis. However, the mechanism by which polypeptides direct inorganic synthesis, particularly with regard to selective formation of crystals polymorphs, remains unknown. An important step in understanding polypeptide-directed inorganic synthesis is the identification of sequence regions in biomineralization proteins that can affect crystal growth. In this report, we identify that the 30 AA N- and C-terminal sequence regions (n16-N and n16-C, respectively) of the oyster shell aragonite-associated protein, n16, exhibit control over the morphology of calcium carbonate crystals grown in geologic calcite overgrowth assays and polyimide (Kevlar)-based assays. Here, we find that calcium carbonate crystals, which grow in the presence of model peptides representing the n16-N and n16-C sequences, adopt dendritic or circular overgrowth in geological calcite overgrowth assays and “staircase” structures in Kevlar-based assays, as compared to negative controls and to parallel assays conducted in the presence of AP24-1, the 30 AA N-terminal sequence region of the nacre-associated protein, AP24, which interrupts step edge growth. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the crystals grown in the presence of n16-N are calcite. Circular dichroism spectrometry studies of n16-N and n16-C model peptides reveal qualitatively similar solution state conformations that consist of either random coil in equilibrium with other secondary structures (e.g., β-strand, turn, loop, polyproline type II) or, at higher concentrations, a β-strand secondary structure in equilibrium with random coil. We conclude that the N- and C-terminal sequence regions of the nacre-associated n16 protein most likely play a role in n16-mediated effects on calcium carbonate crystal growth in the nacre layer.

JO - Current Microbiology JF - Current Microbiology Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 49 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 321 EP - 326 SN - 03438651 AB - Arthrobacterspecies is of interest because of its high potential for bioremediation. Bacteria can detoxify chromium, by either reduction or accumulation inside the bacteria and/or absorption of chromium(VI) (CrVI) on their surface, and efflux pump. The possible pathway of Cr(VI) reduction byArthrobacter oxydansisolated from Columbia basalt rocks at a US DOE highly contaminated site (USA) has been considered in the present study. FTIR absorption spectroscopy showed that these bacteria reduce Cr(VI). In the present study the threshold Cr(VI) nontoxic concentration (35 µg/mL) forA. oxydansgrowing in liquid medium was estimated. Complete uptake of this concentration was achieved in about 10 days after chromium addition into the medium. At this concentration an increase in the protein isolated from the cell wall ofA. oxydanswas observed. This increased protein predominated independently of the growth phase at which Cr(VI) was added. Thermal analysis was used to identify any influence of Cr(VI) on the DNP complex ofA. oxydans.According to the data obtained it can be supposed that Cr(VI) reduction predominantly occurs on the bacterial surface and that cell wall represents a permeable barrier for these bacteria at the non-toxic chromium action.

Potential new applications based on electrospray and electrocoalescence of droplets are discussed. Both of these phenomena may occur under applied electric fields and may apply to drops, particles or bubbles. Several industrial applications take advantage of electric fields. Some of these applications are based on well-understood phenomena, such as normal electrospray of droplets (e.g., as in ink jet printing), while others are less understood (e.g., inverse electrospray). Recent developments of electric-field effects and applications, as well as expected future directions, are discussed.

Standard FISH methodologies require functionally single-stranded DNAs in order to facilitate hybridization between the probe and the complementary chromosomal target sequence. This usually involves denaturation of double-stranded probes to induce temporary separation of the DNA strands. Strand-specific FISH (CO-FISH; Chromosome Orientation-FISH) involves selective removal of newly replicated strands from DNA of metaphase chromosomes which results in single-stranded target DNA. When single-stranded probes are then hybridized to such targets, the resulting strand-specific hybridization is capable of revealing a level of information previously unattainable at the cytogenetic level. Mammalian telomeric DNA consists of tandem repeats of the (TTAGGG) sequence, oriented 5′→3′ towards the termini of all vertebrate chromosomes. Based on this conserved structural organization, CO-FISH with a telomere probe reveals the absolute 5′→3′ orientation of DNA sequences with respect to the pter→qter direction of chromosomes. Development and various applications of CO-FISH will be discussed: detection of cryptic inversions, discrimination between telomeres produced by leading- versus lagging-strand synthesis, and replication timing of mammalian telomeres.

Although less costly, range acquisition and processing still presents a speed vs data reliability tradeoff. This paper proposes a method that, given noisy and generally unreliable range data, can filter out erroneous information using range histograms for regions of interest selected in registered color data. Then, using the resulting consistent data that has passed filters, this method limits the depth search space dynamically using motion history and its current state. Experimental results demonstrate the success of the proposed algorithm. Using filtered range data, the algorithm correctly identified the hand involved in manipulation 99.85% of the time. Dynamic disparity adjustment produced a speedup of 60.17% over a static disparity range selection. An application to virtual reality navigation is also presented.

These cells show loss of capacity and power during accelerated testing at elevated temperatures. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) examination of negative electrode samples harvested from some cells that showed varying degrees of power and capacity fade revealed a surface film on the graphite. Samples from cells that showed higher fade exhibited a thicker film. Furthermore, solvent-based compounds were dominant on samples from low power fade cells, whereas LiPF6-based products were dominant on samples from high-power fade cells. The effects of sample rinsing and air exposure are explored. Mechanisms are proposed to explain the formation of compounds suggested by the XPS data.

This paper discusses combining such a building product model with a building management system and other tools and technologies to create a framework for monitoring, analysing and controlling a building throughout its building lifecycle based on a set of performance metrics. The framework will be known as the building energy monitoring, analysing and controlling (BEMAC) framework. Current building performance assessment practices lack standardisation/continuity throughout the building lifecycle. An environment such as the BEMAC framework described in this paper offers a means to achieving such standardisation/continuity by documenting and communicating performance metrics data such that these data can provide value across the complete lifecycle of a building project, from planning through design and construction into occupancy and operation.

Exhaust samples were collected from "normal" and "high-emitting" gasoline and diesel light-duty vehicles. We employed a combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least-squares regression (PLS; also known as projection to latent structures) to evaluate the relationships between chemical composition of vehicle exhaust and toxicity. The PLS analysis revealed the chemical constituents covarying most strongly with toxicity and produced models predicting the relative toxicity of the samples with good accuracy. The specific nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons important for mutagenicity were the same chemicals that have been implicated by decades of bioassay-directed fractionation. These chemicals were not related to lung toxicity, which was associated with organic carbon and select organic compounds that are present in lubricating oil. The results demonstrate the utility of the PCA/PLS approach for evaluating composition-response relationships in complex mixture exposures and also provide a starting point for confirming causality and determining the mechanisms of the lung effects.

More than 1000 individuals were surveyed about their perceptions of computer-based models in general. Additionally, more than 150 attendees at public meetings related to the Middle Rio Grande planning effort were surveyed about their perceptions of the specific Rio Grande-based model. The results reveal that the majority of respondents are confident in their ability to understand models and most believe that models are appropriate tools for education and for making policy decisions. Responses also reveal that trust in who develops a model is a key issue related to public support. Regarding the specific model highlighted in this project, the public revealed tremendous support for its usefulness as a public engagement tool as well as a tool to assist decision-makers in regional water planning. Although indicating broad support for models, the results do raise questions about the role of trust in using models in contentious decisions.

The particle sizes and crystal morphologies are found to be strongly affected by solution and oxidation potential, and in the earliest stages the particles are generally sufficiently small to be mobilized in a soil. It is clear that the particles grow epitaxially under these conditions, based on observations of the particles' adherence to the surface during imaging, their preferred crystallographic orientation, their growth along surface features on the galena, and commensurate atomic structures. Through cyclic voltammetry, we show that the presence of phosphate also partially passivates the surface of the galena to oxidation. We propose two possibilities for the mechanism of passivation, one is that pyromorphite nucleation inhibits the retreat of steps, and the second is that adsorbed phosphate stabilizes a lead-terminated surface structure by coordinating lead and slowing its dissolution.

The significantly enhanced fluorescence signal intensity and spectral resolution found at liquid helium temperature allowed, for the first time, direct fluorescence spectroscopic observation of the higher aqueous uranyl complexes with carbonate: UO2(CO3)22-, UO2(CO3)34-. and (UO2)2(OH)3CO3-. The porewater samples were nonfluorescent at room temperature. However, at liquid helium temperature, both porewater samples displayed strong, well-resolved fluorescence spectra. Comparisons of the spectroscopic characteristics of the porewaters with those of the standard uranyl-carbonate complexes confirmed that U(VI) in the porewaters existed primarily as UO2(CO3)34- along with a small amount of other minor components, such as dicalcium-urano-tricarbonate complex, Ca2UO2(CO3)3, consistent with thermodynamic calculation. The U(VI)-carbonate complex is apparently the mobile species responsible for the subsurface migration of U(VI), even though the majority of the in-ground U(VI) inventory at the site from which the samples were obtained exists as intragrain U(VI)-silicate precipitates.

The observed profiles of numbers of retained microspheres versus distance from the column entrance were much steeper than expected based on a constant rate coefficient of deposition across the length of the column, indicating apparent decreases in deposition rate coefficients with transport distance. Deviation in the profile from log-linear decreases with distance was greatest under highly unfavorable conditions (low ionic strength), relatively reduced under mildly unfavorable conditions (high ionic strength), and was eliminated under favorable conditions. The generality of apparent decreases in deposition rate coefficients with distance of transport among microspheres, bacteria, and viruses leads to the conclusion that such effects reflect processes that are fundamental to filtration under unfavorable conditions. Numerical simulations of experiments that were performed under unfavorable conditions utilized a log-normal distribution of deposition rate coefficients among the colloid population in order to simulate the effluent curves and retained profiles simultaneously. it is shown that while straining could be a significant contributor to the steep retained profiles at low ionic strength, where overall retention is low, distribution in interaction potentials among the population was a viable mechanism that can yield apparent decreases in deposition rate coefficients with distance of transport.

In most experiments, more than 95% of added U(VI) was sorbed to solids, so that U(VI) reduction was governed by reactions at the solid-water interlace. The rate and extent of reduction of U(VI) associated with surlaces of synthetic Fe(III) oxides (hydrous ferric oxide, goethite, and hematite) was comparable to that observed during reduction of aqueous U(VI). In contrast, microbial reduction of U(VI) sorbed to several different natural Fe(III) oxide- containing solids was slower and less extensive compared to synthetic Fe(III) oxide systems. Addition of the electron shuttling agent anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS; 0.1 mM) enhanced the rate and extent of both Fe(III) and U(VI) reduction. These findings suggest that AQDS facilitated electron transfer from G. sulfurreducens to U(VI) associated with surface sites at which direct enzymatic reduction was kinetically limited. Our results demonstrate that association of U(VI) with diverse surface sites in natural soils and sediments has the potential to limit the rate and extent of microbial U(VI) reduction and thereby modulate the effectiveness of in situ U(VI) bioremediation.

Here, we test the hypothesis that these waste solutions alter and dissolve the native minerals present in the sediments and that colloidal (diameter < 2 μm) feldspathoids form. We reacted Hanford sediments with simulated solutions representative of Hanford waste tanks. The solutions consisted of 1.4 or 2.8 mol/kg NaOH, 0.125 or 0.25 mol/kg NaAlO4, and 3.7 mol/kg NaNO3 and were contacted with the sediments for a period of 25 or 40 days at 50°C. The colloidal size fraction was separated from the sediments and characterized in terms of mineralogy, morphology, chemical composition, and electrophoretic mobility. Upon reaction with tank waste solutions, native minerals released Si and other elements into the solution phase. This Si precipitated with the Al present in the waste solutions to form secondary minerals, identified as the feldspathoids cancrinite and sodalite. The solution phase was modeled with the chemical equilibrium model GMIN for solution speciation and saturation indices with respect to sodalite and cancrinite. The amount of colloidal material in the sediments increased upon reaction with waste solutions. At the natural pH found in Hanford sediments (pH 8) the newly formed minerals are negatively charged, similar to the unreacted colloidal material present in the sediments. The formation of colloidal material in Hanford sediments upon reaction with tank waste solutions is an important aspect to consider in the characterization of Hanford tank leaks and may affect the fate of hazardous radionuclides present in the tank waste.

These reactions are dependent on the number of reactive sites on the soot surface rather than the soot surface area per se. A box model, MOCCA, is used to investigate the effects of introducing heterogeneous reactions on soot into an air parcel passing over an urban area and traveling downwind. The model was run at two soot mass concentrations of 2 μg/m3 and 20 μg/m3 with a surface density of n-hexane and decane. Significant change in gas- phase concentration was only observed for the higher soot concentration. Due to the noncatalytic nature of the heterogeneous reactions, soot sites are rapidly consumed, and soot site concentrations are greatly reduced shortly after emissions are turned off. Notable changes in gaseous concentrations due to the introduction of heterogeneous reactions are not observed in the urban setting. The impact of heterogeneous reactions is more evident after emissions are turned off (i.e. downwind from the urban center). These changes are minimal for the condition that used n-hexane surface density. For conditions that used decane soot, NOx concentrations showed a slight increase, with NO being higher in the daytime and NO2 at night. The maximum 03 reduction observed when using the higher soot concentration is 7 ppb, downwind of the urban center. Change in 03 concentration was less than 1 ppb when using the tower soot loading. The observed effects of hetero-geneous reactions on soot decrease with time.

Investigating the structure and three-dimensional (3D) distribution of the telomeres and TRF2 in the nucleus, we now show that the telomeres of the immortal HaCaT keratinocytes are distributed in distinct non-overlapping territories within the inner third of the nuclear space in interphase cells, while they extend more widely during mitosis. TRF2 is present at the telomeres at all cell cycle phases. During mitosis additional TRF2 protein concentrates all around the chromosomes. This change in staining pattern correlates with a significant increase in TRF2 protein at the S/G2 transition as seen in Western blots of synchronized cells and is paralleled by a cell cycle-dependent regulation of TRF2 mRNA, arguing for a specific role of TRF2 during mitosis. The distinct territorial localization of telomeres is abrogated in a HaCaT variant that constitutively expresses c-Myc – a protein known to contribute to genomic instability. These cells are characterized by overlapping telomere territories, telomeric aggregates (TAs), that are accompanied by an overall irregular telomere distribution and a reduced level in TRF2 protein. These TAs which are readily detectable in interphase nuclei, are similarly present in mitotic cells, including cells in telophase. Thus, we propose that TAs, which subsequently also cluster their respective chromosomes, contribute to genomic instability by forcing an abnormal chromosome segregation during mitosis.

The new data indicate spin and parity 3/2+ for ground states in115Pd and117Pd instead of 5/2+ proposed in previous works.

Spin and parity assignments, based on angular correlations, linear polarization, and conversion coefficient measurements differ from those available in the literature. New bands are reported, which incorporate ? transitions seen previously but not placed in the scheme of111Ru or placed incorrectly. The bands are interpreted as neutron excitations into subshells originating predominantly from theh11/2,g7/2 ands1/2 spherical orbitals. Thes1/2 band, strongly mixed with thed3/2,d5/2 andg7/2 configurations, is observed for the first time in this region.

SN - 14346001 AB - AT1/2 = 16(2)ns isomeric level, populated in the spontaneous fission of248Cm, has been found in101Zr at 941.8keV in a measurement of prompt ?-rays using the EUROGAM2 array. The level is interpreted as aK-isomer corresponding to the 9/2[404] neutron-hole excitation. The quadrupole moment,Q0 = 3.6(4)eb, deduced for the new band indicates a large deformation of ß2 = 0.38(4), which is produced by a specific shape-coexistence mechanism. This is another observation of the ?9/2[404] orbital in the massA~ 100 region, confirming the presence of the effect reported first in our previous work. The 9/2[404] neutron-hole excitation is also confirmed in the97Sr nucleus and the deformation ß2 = 0.44(2) is determined for this configuration. The properties of the 9/2[404] neutron orbital and its influence on the onset of deformation in theA~ 100 region are discussed.

The ring, 3 m in diameter, has straight sections that afford access to the stored molecules and a lattice structure that may be adapted for evaporative cooling. Simulation is done using a newly-developed code that tracks the particles, in time, through 400 turns; it accounts for longitudinal velocity changes as a function of external electric field, focusing and deflection nonlinearities, and the effects of gravity. An injector, decelerator, and source are included and intensities are calculated.

SN - 14346060 AB - We report the cooling of nitric oxide molecules in a single collision between an argon atom and an NO molecule at collision energies ofkJ/mol andkJ/mol in a crossed molecular beam apparatus. We have produced in significant numbers (~108 molecules cm-3 per quantum state) translationally cold NO(,v’ = 0,j’ = 7.5) molecules in a specific quantum state with an upper-limit laboratory-frame rms velocity ofm/s, corresponding to a temperature ofmK. The translational cooling results from the kinematic collapse of the velocity distribution of the NO molecules after collision. Increasing the collision energy by increasing the velocity of the argon atoms, as we do here, does shift the scattering angle at which the cold molecules appear, but does not result in an experimentally measurable change in the velocity spread of the cold NO. This is entirely consistent with our analysis of the kinematics of the scattering which predicts that the velocity spread will actually decrease with increasing argon atom velocity.

We discuss the spectroscopic criteria molecules should meet to make methods of Doppler cooling technically feasible and identify diatomic candidates. Some candidates, such as the alkaline-earth monohydrides (e.g. BeH and CaH), are paramagnetic and amenable to magneto-optical trapping. Our experimental study concentrates on CaH, and we present our recent high-resolution, molecular-beam-based measurements of low-Jrotational lines within theA-X(0,0) band of CaH. From these measurements we report hyperfine separations in theA-state, as important to laser-cooling spectroscopy, and centroidal transition frequencies for comparison with existing values. We conclude with an outline of a possible magneto-optical trap for CaH.

Most scientists believe that recent global warming is largely the result of human energy consumption, which releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Massive, almost inconceivable amounts of energy are used to do everything these days, from building airplanes to running sewer systems and hospital equipment. Energy is the essence of modern civilization, and as societies and economies grow, so does their energy consumption. In the United States and most other developed countries, 85 percent of this energy comes from fossil fuels (mainly coal, oil, and natural gas). In developing countries, wood, charcoal, straw, and cow dung still meet a large portion of heating and cooking needs, but the shift to fossil fuels is happening fast. Global energy consumption is growing at roughly two percent per year and is projected to double by 2035 and triple by 2055. The good news is that fossil fuels are still relatively abundant and cheap. The bad news is that burning fossil fuel emits carbon dioxide. And global energy consumption is so great and rising so fast that humans are demonstrably changing the climate. Reducing the consumption of energy and increasing its efficient use would help control emissions. But such measures will not likely be sufficient to solve the problem. Nor will replacing fossil fuels with alternative sources of energy, which remain prohibitively expensive or too impractical to be used on a large scale. Sources of renewable energy, such as solar power, are inherently ill suited to modern energy needs. Hydrogen is no panacea either. It is much touted for yielding only heat and water--no carbon dioxide, acid rain, ozone, or soot--when it is consumed. But because it is not a primary source of energy, it has large-scale supply problems.

The experiments involve jet and film flows using GaInSn and are conducted at the UCLA MTOR facility. The goal of this study is to understand the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) features associated with such a free surface flow in a fusion-relevant magnetic field environment, and determine what LM free surface flow option is most suitable for lithium divertor particle pumping and surface heat removal applications in a near-term experimental plasma device, such as NSTX. Experimental findings indicate that a steady transverse magnetic field, even with gradients typical of NSTX outer divertor conditions, stabilizes a LM jet flow—reducing turbulent disturbances and delaying jet breakup. Important insights into the MHD behavior of liquid metal films under NSTX-like environments are also presented. It is possible to establish an uphill liquid metal film flow on a conducting substrate, although the MHD drag experienced by the flow could be strong and cause the flow to pile-up under simulated NSTX magnetic field conditions. The magnetic field changes the turbulent film flow so that wave structures range from 2D column-type surface disturbances at regions of high magnetic field, to ordinary hydrodynamic turbulence wave structures at regions of low field strength at the outboard. Plans for future work are also presented.

This system was designed to study the flow of molten metals and salts in a vacuum as a preliminary study for flowing liquid surfaces inside of magnetic fusion reactors. The system consists of a heated furnace with attached centrifugal pump, a vacuum chamber, and a transfer chamber for storage and addition of fresh material. Diagnostics include an electromagnetic flow meter, a high temperature pressure transducer, and an electronic level meter. Many ports in the vacuum chamber allow testing the thermal behavior of the flowing liquids heated with an electron beam or study of the effect of a magnetic field on motion of the liquid. Some preliminary tests have been performed to determine the effect of a static magnetic field on stream flow from a nozzle.

Measurements include bombardment of liquid Li, Sn–Li and Sn by H+, D+, He+, and Li+ particles at energies from 100 to 1000eV and temperatures from 20 to 420°C. Lithium sputtering near and just above the melting point shows little change compared to room temperature, solid-Li yields. When lithium is sputtered, about 2/3 of the sputtered flux is in the charged state. Temperature-dependent sputtering results show enhanced (up to an order-of-magnitude increase) sputter yields as the temperature of the sample is increased about a factor of two of the melting point for all liquid-metals studied (e.g., Li, Sn–Li, and Sn). The enhancement is explained by two mechanisms: near-surface binding of eroded atoms and the nature of the near-surface recoil energy and angular distribution as a function of temperature. The Flowing Liquid Retention Experiment (FLIRE) measured particle transport by flowing liquid films when exposed to energetic particles. Measurements of retention coefficient were performed for helium ions implanted by an ion beam into flowing liquid lithium at 230°C in the FLIRE facility. A linear dependence of the retention coefficient with implanted particle energy is found, given by the expression R = (5.3 ± 0.2) × 10-3keV-1. The ion flux level did not have an effect for the flux level used in this work (∼1013cm-2s-1) and square root dependence with velocity is also observed, which is in agreement with existing particle transport models.

Oxygen is found to segregate to the surface of several metallic liquids. In the case of a Sn–Li alloy, Li also segregates to the liquid surface. Molecular hydrogen and its isotopes readily adsorb on Li surfaces, but not on those of Ga or Sn. Hydrogenic atoms at thermal energies can adsorb on both Li and Ga, but no evidence has been found for hydrogen isotopes residing at the surface of liquid Sn from the melting temperature to 800 ∘C.

Most of the interest in liquid metal walls has focused on lithium. Experiments with lithium limiters have now been conducted in the Current Drive Experiment-Upgrade (CDX-U) device at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Initial experiments used a liquid lithium rail limiter (L3) built by the University of California at San Diego. Spectroscopic measurements showed some reduction of impurities in CDX-U plasmas with the L3, compared to discharges with a boron carbide limiter. While no reduction in recycling was observed with the L3, which had a plasma-wet area of approximately 40cm2, subsequent experiments with a larger area fully toroidal lithium limiter demonstrated significant reductions in both recycling and in impurity levels. Two series of experiments with the toroidal limiter have now been performed. In each series, the area of exposed, clean lithium was increased, until in the latest experiments, the liquid lithium plasma-facing area was increased to 2000cm2. Under these conditions, the reduction in recycling required a factor of eight increase in gas fueling in order to maintain the plasma density. The loop voltage required to sustain the plasma current was reduced from 2V to 0.5V. This paper summarizes the technical preparations for lithium experiments and the conditioning required to prepare the lithium surface for plasma operations. The mechanical response of the liquid metal to induced currents, especially through contact with the plasma, is discussed. The effect of the lithium-filled toroidal limiter on plasma performance is also briefly described.

The divertor plasma strikepoint cleans and conditions the initially solid lithium surface. The effective sputtering rate and transport of lithium was found to be acceptable. Lithium has a sputtering yield of solid lithium <10% for Te ∼20eV. The sputtered lithium is ionized in a short distance from the divertor and promptly redeposited. Experiments and modeling show the sputtered lithium is well shielded by the divertor plasma. The behavior of the liquefied lithium was dominated by its macroscopic movement and injection into the plasma caused by J × B magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) forces. Plasma MHD events, such as edge localized modes (ELMs) and locked modes, are found to provide simultaneously the energy to melt the lithium and the transiently high scrape-off layer (SOL) currents to cause the J × B motion. The macroscopic removal of lithium from the small sample, comprising <1/1000th of the wetted divertor area, leads to measurable contamination of the core plasma by lithium. The quantity of injected lithium was sufficient to degrade confinement and/or cause disruptions. These observations indicate that surface stability and MHD motion are the most critical issues with regard to liquid-metal divertor surfaces.

The notion of operational power reactor regime (OPRR) is introduced explicitly for the first time in order to distinguish it from the relatively short ignition phase of the reactor operation. Development of OPRR is intrinsically linked to two basic technology objectives, i.e., development of the first wall (FW) and the tritium cycle (TC). The paper reveals an existing fundamental gap in the reactor development path associated with the lack of necessary amounts of tritium for the reactor design development. In this regard, low recycling regimes with a plasma limited by a lithium wall surface suggest enhanced stability and energy confinement, both necessary for tokamak power reactors. These regimes also could make ignition and OPRR feasible in compact tokamaks. Ignited spherical tokamaks (IST), self-sufficient in the bootstrap current, are introduced as a necessary interim step for development OPRR-FW-TC for the power reactors.

Potential implications of these observations for reactors are examined here. Two-dimensional plasma edge calculations are performed with UEDGE, including convective transport consistent with present experiments. This is coupled to a kinetic neutral calculation using the code NUT, to compute the hot neutral flux to the wall. The inclusion of convection increases sputtering of the wall by roughly an order of magnitude. For tungsten walls, erosion (neglecting re-deposition) is estimated to be ∼.6mmyear-1. The enhanced source of impurities for high Z walls requires an enhanced plasma screening factor to allow ignition. Low Z liquid materials enable acceptable plasma contamination with much lower screening factors. Rough estimates of dust generation from erosion rates with convection imply significant safety issues. Plasma transport via blobs can also strongly modify models of impurity screening and redeposition, and represents a potential feasibility issue in need of further research.

As part of this work, the APEX Team has investigated several possible design implementations and developed a specific engineering concept for a fusion reactor with liquid walls. Our approach has been to utilize an already established design for a future fusion reactor, the ARIES-RS, for the basic chamber geometry and magnetic configuration, and to replace the chamber technology in this design with liquid wall technology for a first wall and divertor and a blanket with adequate tritium breeding. This paper gives an overview of one design with a molten salt (a mixture of lithium, beryllium and sodium fluorides) forming the liquid surfaces and a ferritic steel for the structural material of the blanket. The design point is a reactor with 3840MW of fusion power of which 767MW is in the form of energetic particles (alpha power) and 3073MW is in the form of neutrons. The alpha plus auxiliary power total 909MW of which 430MW is radiated from the core mostly onto the first wall and the balance flows into the edge plasma and is distributed between the first wall and the divertor. In pursuing the application of liquid surfaces in APEX, the team has developed analytical tools that are significant achievements themselves and also pursued experiments on flowing liquids. This work is covered elsewhere, but the paper will also note several such areas to indicate the supporting science behind the design presented. Significant new work in modeling the plasma edge to understand the interaction of the plasma with the liquid walls is one example. Another is the incorporation of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) effects in fluid modeling and heat transfer.

T1 - Design integration of liquid surface divertors JO - Fusion Engineering & Design JF - Fusion Engineering & Design Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 72 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 223 EP - 244 SN - 09203796 AB - Abstract: The US Enabling Technology Program in fusion is investigating the use of free flowing liquid surfaces facing the plasma. We have been studying the issues in integrating a liquid surface divertor into a configuration based upon an advanced tokamak, specifically the ARIES-RS configuration. The simplest form of such a divertor is to extend the flow of the liquid first wall into the divertor and thereby avoid introducing additional fluid streams. In this case, one can modify the flow above the divertor to enhance thermal mixing. For divertors with flowing liquid metals (or other electrically conductive fluids) MHD (magneto-hydrodynamics) effects are a major concern and can produce forces that redirect flow and suppress turbulence. An evaluation of Flibe (a molten salt) as a working fluid was done to assess a case in which the MHD forces could be largely neglected. Initial studies indicate that, for a tokamak with high power density, an integrated Flibe first wall and divertor does not seem workable. We have continued work with molten salts and replaced Flibe with Flinabe, a mixture of lithium, sodium and beryllium fluorides, that has some potential because of its lower melting temperature. Sn and Sn–Li have also been considered, and the initial evaluations on heat removal with minimal plasma contamination show promise, although the complicated 3D MHD flows cannot yet be fully modeled. Particle pumping in these design concepts is accomplished by conventional means (ports and pumps). However, trapping of hydrogen in these flowing liquids seems plausible and novel concepts for entrapping helium are also being studied.

The goal for the assessment is to search for designs that can have high volumetric power density and surface heat-flux handling capability, with assurance of fuel self-sufficiency, high thermal efficiency and passive safety for a tokamak power reactor. We selected the re-circulating flow configuration as our reference design. Based on the recommended material properties of AFS we found that the reference design can handle a maximum surface heat flux of 1MW/m2, and a maximum neutron wall loading of 5.4MW/m2, with a gross thermal efficiency of 47%, while meeting all the tritium breeding, structural design and passive safety requirements. This paper will cover the results of the following areas of assessment: material design properties, FW/blanket design configuration, materials compatibility, components fabrication, neutronics analysis, thermal-hydraulics analysis including MHD effects, structural analysis; molten salt and helium closed cycle power conversion system; and safety and waste disposal of the re-circulating coolant first wall and blanket design.

Eng. Des. 54 (2000) 181]. In particular, we examine radiological inventories, decay heat, waste disposal ratings, and toxic chemical inventories of these design concepts. In addition, we predict the thermal response of these blanket designs during accident conditions, and the mobilization of the radiological inventories and site boundary dose from the release of this mobilized material during a worst-case confinement-boundary-bypass accident. The molten salts being proposed for these blanket concepts are Flibe and Flinabe, and the structural material is a nano-composite strengthened ferritic steel alloy called 12YWT. The estimated dose at the site boundary is less than the no-evacuation limit of 10mSv for a ground level release during conservative weather conditions if plant isolation occurs within 5 days.

The pursued concepts cover both liquid and solid wall designs. The solid wall blanket branch of the project has been concentrating on the use of nano-composited ferritic (NCF) steel structure coupled with Flibe (Li2BeF4) coolant. The present blanket is a solid wall design with an innovative coolant scheme, which allows part of the coolant to be re-circulated in order to enhance the outlet temperature, and thus improve the power cycle efficiency. The structure is 12YWT, an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel, which has a maximum operating temperature of 800°C and a compatibility with Flibe up to 700°C. Several methods for fabricating the complex geometry of the first wall (FW) and blanket are presented. Preliminary coolant routing is proposed with solutions offered for minimizing heat losses and simplifying assembly and maintenance. Even though this blanket is somewhat complicated, its forward looking aims, that of maximizing nuclear performance to achieve a high thermal conversion efficiency, are well worth striving for.

We therefore hypothesized that by juxtaposing human/Fugu and human/mouse conservation patterns we can define conservation criteria for discovering transcriptional regulatory elements specific to mammals. Genome-scale comparisons of noncoding human/Fugu evolutionary conserved elements (ECRs) and their humans/mouse counterparts revealed a particular signature common to human/mouse ECRs (≥350 bp long, ≥77% identity) that are also conserved in fishes. This newly defined threshold identifies 90% of all human/Fugu noncoding ECRs without the assistance of human–Fugu genome alignments and provides a very efficient filter for identifying functional human/mouse ECRs.

The single-domain model (SDM), employing field-scale dispersion, and the dual-domain model (DDM), employing local hydrodynamic dispersion and exchange between domains having large hydraulic conductivity contrasts, are well-known examples. In this paper, the two modeling approaches are applied to tritium migration from the H-area seepage basins to a nearby stream--Fourmile Branch--at the Savannah River Site. This location has been monitored since 1955, so an extensive dataset exists for formulating realistic simulations and comparing the results to data. It is concluded that the main parameters of both models are scale-dependent, and methods are discussed for making initial estimates of the DDM parameters, which include mobile/immobile porosities and the mass exchange coefficient. Both models were calibrated to produce the best fit to recorded tritium data. When various attributes of the dataset were considered, including cumulative tritium activity discharged to Fourmile Branch, plume arrival time, and plume attenuation due to closure of the seepage basins in 1988, the DDM produced results superior to the SDM, while causing no unrealistic upgradient dispersion. A sensitivity analysis showed that only the DDM was able to accurately produce both the instantaneous activity discharge and cumulative activity with a single parameter set. This is thought to be due to the advection-dominated nature of transport in natural porous media and the more realistic treatment of this type of transport in the DDM relative to the SDM.

In this paper, water levels and seasonal temperatures are used to estimate hydraulic conductivities in a stream-aquifer system. To demonstrate this method, temperatures and water levels are analyzed from six observation wells along an example study site, the Russian River in Sonoma County, California. The range in seasonal ground water temperatures in these wells varied from < 0.2°C in two wells to -8°C in the other four wells from June to October 2000. The temperature probes in the six wells are located at depths between 3.5 and 7.1 m relative to the river channel. Hydraulic conductivities are estimated by matching simulated ground water temperatures to the observed ground water temperatures. An anisotropy of 5 (horizontal to vertical hydraulic conductivity) generally gives the best fit to the observed temperatures. Estimated conductivities vary over an order of magnitude in the six locations analyzed. In some locations, a change in the observed temperature profile occurred during the study, most likely due to deposition of fine-grained sediment and organic matter plugging the streambed. A reasonable fit to this change in the temperature profile is obtained by decreasing the hydraulic conductivity in the simulations. This study demonstrates that seasonal ground water temperatures monitored in observation wells provide an effective means of estimating hydraulic conductivities in alluvial aquifers.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 87 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 517 EP - 531 SN - 00179078 AB - Organic forms of radioactive iodine are released during routine and accidental releases from the nuclear industry. Methyl iodide is often the predominant species in these releases. This paper describes the results of a study to determine the deposition, allocation, and loss of radioiodine after crops of bean, carrot, and cabbage were exposed to CH3125I. The deposition velocity ranged from 0.14-7.10 × 10-4 cm s-1, which is in line with previous studies. Translocation of radioiodine away from the leaves to other crop components was observed post exposure. The partition of radioiodine was to those crop components growing most actively at the time of exposure. This finding contradicts some previous studies and will have implications for dose assessments. Losses of radioiodine were only observed as a consequence of leaf fall. The consequences of these findings for the modeling the movement of radioiodine in crops following the deposition of methyl iodide are discussed.

In this paper, we introduce and study the properties of decentralized supervisory control architectures where supervisors are allowed to make conditional decisions in addition to unconditional decisions, The conditional decisions we consider are of the form: "enable if nobody disables" and "disable If nobody enables:' We characterize the notion of conditional coobservability that appears in the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of supervisors in the context of such control architectures. This condition relaxes the previous notions of coobservability for unconditional architectures. The key properties of conditional coobservability are studied. We develop a polynomial-time algorithm for verifying the notion of conditional coobservability. A polynomial-lime method of partitioning the controllable events between "enable by default" and "disable by default" is presented.

The motivation for finding a bifurcation subsystem and. its advantages over model reduction, slaving, and finding the center manifold dynamics are discussed. By using the theoretical results of the persistence on saddle-node and Hop? bifurcation of a full system model with both fast and slow singularly perturbed dynamics, a more precise definition of what constitutes a bifurcation subsystem for both saddle-node and Hopf bifurcation is given. Persistence of the center manifold for the reduced models of singularly perturbed fast and slow external dynamics thus is shown. These results are then used to show that the center manifold of the saddle-node and Hopf bifurcation lies in the bifurcation subsystem or is contained within the bifurcation subsystem if additional conditions are satisfied. The test conditions for the existence of a bifurcation subsystem are: 1) quickly reviewed and 2) then applied to compute a saddle-node and a Hopf bifurcation subsystem for a multiple machine differential algebraic example system. The results computationally validate the bifurcation subsystem method.

In addition to the formation of some additional longer U-O bonds, the U sublattice consists of an ordered portion that displays the original U-U distance and a spectroscopically silent, glassy part. This is very different from previous models derived from neutron diffraction that maintained long U-O distances and high U-O coordination numbers. UO2+x also differs from PuO2+x in its substantially shorter An-oxo distances and no sign of stable coordination with H2O and its hydrolysis products.

Interestingly, the solid state structure of the stannylene exhibits a "minipocket" caused by the parallel arrangement of the phenyl rings. A 1:1 ratio of ligand to SnCl2 affords the new chlerotin amide {Sn(μ-Cl)[N(mesityl)(SiMe3)]}3, which adopts a unique trimeric structure in the solid state.

Each Mn2+ is high-spin S=5/2 and linked to nearest-neighbor spin sites via μ-bridged tcm ligands to form a 1D linear chain while the bipy ligands are monodentate and segregate the chains. Magnetically, a broad maximum in χ′(T) is observed at 2.1 K and likely signifies short-range magnetic order within the chains. A least-squares fit of the χT(T) data to a classical-spin Fisher chain model yielded good agreement for g=2.008(1) and J=-0.217(4) K. No long-range magnetic ordering is observed above 1.6 K due to the presence of very weak interchain magnetic interactions as indicated by inclusion of a mean-field model that gave zJ′=-0.009(1) K.

Crystallographic structure and electrical properties of the films grown on offcut YSZ(100) substrates with an offcut angle of 5° have been investigated. BLT films grown on [011] offcut YSZ(100) substrates covered with SrRuO3(110) electrode layers showed a considerably higher reduction of the number of azimuthal domains than those grown on SrRuO3(110) electrode layers on [001] offcut YSZ. Higher remanent polarization values were measured in BLT films on [011] offcut YSZ(100) substrates, compared to BLT films grown on [001] offcut or exactly cut ones, most probably due to the reduced number of azimuthal domain boundaries.

Many institutions are now developing large-scale, complex, coupled multiphysics computational simulations for massively parallel platforms for the simulation of the performance of nuclear weapons and certification of the stockpile, and for research in climate and weather prediction, magnetic and inertial fusion energy, environmental systems, astrophysics, aerodynamic design, combustion, biological and biochemical systems, and other areas. In the middle of 1996, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative to develop an enhanced simulation capability for the nuclear weapons in the US stockpile. The strategy developed for "Stockpile Stewardship" has four major elements: active surveillance of the stockpile to identify problems and issues so that they can be fixed; revival of the capability for manufacturing and refurbishing weapons; development of enhanced fidelity computer simulations for nuclear weapons; development of an active experimental program to validate the new simulations. Successful completion of a software project, indeed any project, requires that the project have a consistent and realistic set of requirements, schedule and resources.

We first conducted a series of depth-of-penetration experiments using 20.0 g, 7.11-mm-diameter, 71.12-mm-long, vacuum-arc-remelted (VAR) 4340 ogive-nose steel projectiles. These projectiles were launched with striking velocities between 0.4 and 1.3 km/s using a 20-mm powder gun into 0.5 m square limestone target faces with angles of obliquity of 15° and 30°. Next, we employed the initial conditions obtained from the experiments with a technique that we have developed to calculate permanent projectile deformation without erosion. With this technique we use an explicit, transient dynamic, finite element code to model the projectile and an analytical forcing function based on the dynamic expansion of a spherical cavity to represent the target. Due to angle of obliquity we developed a new free surface effect model based on the solution of a dynamically expanding spherical cavity in a finite sphere of incompressible Mohr–Coulomb target material to account for the difference in target resistance acting on the top and bottom sides of the projectile. Results from the simulations show the final projectile positions are in good agreement with the positions obtained from post-test castings of the projectile trajectories.

The numerical model is based on a stochastic separated flow technique that includes submodels for droplet dynamics, heat and mass transfer, and droplet–droplet collisions. Because the spray characteristics near the nozzle are difficult to ascertain, a new method for initialization of particle diameter size is developed that assumes a Rosin–Rammler distribution for droplet size, which correctly reproduces experimentally measured Sauter and arithmetic mean diameters. By relating the particle initialization to lower moments of the droplet statistics, it is possible to take advantage of measurements without substantial penalties associated with the greater experimental uncertainty of individual droplet measurements. Overall, very good agreement is observed in the comparisons of experimental measurements to computational predictions for the streamwise development of mean drop size and velocity. In addition, the importance of modeling droplet–droplet collisions is highlighted with comparison of selected droplet–droplet collision models.

The crystal elastic moduli are pressure dependent to capture the large volume strains properly and to enable evolution of shocks from steep pressure gradients. Results are obtained for a normal incidence pressure wave and a pressure wave traveling parallel to the metal surface. The results show that regions of nonuniform strain, characterized by patchy bands, can develop in the wake of the pressure wave. The magnitude and extent of the bands depends on the grain structure and the width of the zone over which the pressure rises. A steep pressure gradient produces a small process zone and leaves little chance for strain redistribution.

Materials and methods: Auger events cause both low- and high-linear energy transfer energy depositions including charge neutralization at the daughter nuclide. Microdosimetry allows the expression of absorbed dose to a defined micromass and the number of such events at given sites. Published data were used to relate micromass dose and event number to the dose to reduce survival to 37% of the initial survival (D37). Results: The D37 of 125I-decays in DNA was 0.1 Gy in terms of absorbed dose to the cell nucleus and about 30 in terms of average decays per nucleus or whole cell. The D37 of 125I-decays in antipyrine was 1.5 Gy for absorbed dose to the cell nucleus, about 250 in terms of average decays per nucleus and about 2 × 10³ for average decays per whole cell. 125I-decays in oligodeoxynucleotides were much less toxic than 125I-decays in antipyrine by a factor of about 25 in terms of average absorbed dose to the cell nucleus, by a factor or about 40 in terms of average decays per cell nucleus and by a factor of six in terms of average decays per whole cell. Conclusion: The unexpected low toxicity of 125I-decays in nuclear oligodeoxynucleotides outside the DNA in comparison with 125I-decays in antipyrine in the nucleus or the whole cell demands further attention on the role of oligodeoxynucleotides in altering cellular radiation sensitivity.

To assess the lethality of these Gd induced DSB. Materials and Methods: DNA single and double strand breaks from Auger electrons emitted during 157Gd(n,gamma) events were calculated using an atomistic model of B-DNA with higher-order structure. When combined with gadolinium neutron capture reaction rates and neutron and photon physical dose rates calculated from the radiation transport through a model of the human head with explicit tumors, peak tissue dose can be related to the number of Auger electron induced DSB in tumor cell DNA. The lethality of these DNA DSB were assessed through a comparison with incorporated 125I decay cell survival curves and second comparison with the number of DSB resulting from neutron and photon interactions. Results: These calculations on a molecular scale (microscopic calculations) indicate that for incorporated 157Gd, each neutron capture reaction results in an average of 1.56 ± 0.16 DNA single strand breaks (SSB) and 0.21 ± 0.04 DBS in the immediate vicinity (∼ 40 nm) of the neutron capture. In an example case of Gd Neutron Capture Therapy (GdNCT), a 1 cm radius midline tumor, peak normal tissue dose of 10 Gy, and a tumor concentration of 1000 ppm Gd, result in a maximum of 140 ± 27 DSBs per tumor cell. Conclusions: The number of DSB from the background radiation components is one order of magnitude lower than the Gd Auger electron induced DSB. The cell survival of mammalian cell lines with a similar amount of complex DSB induced from incorporated 125I decay yield one to two magnitudes of cell killing. These two points indicate that gadolinium auger electrons could significantly contribute to cell killing in GdNCT.

SN - 0021891X AB - An admixture of commercial liquid electrolyte (LB302, 1 M solution of LiPF6 in 1:1 EC/DEC) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was enclosed in CR2032 cells. The assembled cells were then γ-ray-irradiated using configurations of half cells and full cells. Through this in situ irradiation polymerization process, we obtained rechargeable lithium ion cells with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) based gel polymer electrolytes (GPE). Galvanostatic cycling, AC impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry were employed to investigate the electrochemical properties of the cells and the gel polymer electrolyte. This PMMA-based gel polymer electrolyte was found to exhibit a high ionic conductivity (at least 10-3 S cm-1) at room temperature. Due to a significant increase in the charge transfer resistance between the GPE and the cathode, the cell impedance of a PMMA-based lithium ion cell is greater than that of a liquid-electrolyte-based cell. The discharge capacity of a LiNi0.8Co0.2O2/GPE/graphite is approximately 145 mAh g-1 for the first cycle and decreases to123 mAh g-1 after 20 cycles. In addition, a large initial cell impedance (LICI) was observed in the irradiated positive half cell. In this paper, we propose a possible mechanism related to the detachment of the PMMA layer from the lithium electrode. This detachment of the PMMA layer from the lithium electrode has not been explicitly discussed previously.

Under stable nighttime conditions with low background winds, the pseudovertical profiles from all three lines were good proxies for free air temperature soundings over the basin center, with a mean nighttime cold temperature bias of about 0.4°C and a standard deviation of 0.4°C. Cold biases were highest in the upper basin where relatively warm air subsides to replace air that spills out of the basin through the lowest-altitude saddle. On a windy night, standard deviations increased to 1°–2°C. After sunrise, the varying exposures of the dataloggers to sunlight made the pseudovertical profiles less useful as proxies for free air soundings. The good correspondence between sidewall and free air temperatures during high-static-stability conditions suggests that sidewall soundings can be used to monitor temperatures, temperature gradients, and temperature inversion evolution in the sinkhole. Sidewall soundings can produce more frequent profiles at lower cost than can tethersondes or rawinsondes, and extension of these findings to other enclosed or semienclosed topographies may enhance future basic meteorological research or support applications studies in agriculture, forestry, air pollution, and land use planning.

The profiler network revealed, for the first time, that the persistent summer-season flow pattern documented by surface observations extends 800–1000 m above the surface. At most locations, up-valley winds persist during both day and night except at the upper ends of the valleys and close to the valley sidewalls where diurnal wind reversals occur. Wind speeds exhibit pronounced diurnal oscillations, with amplitudes decreasing with height. A low-level wind maximum occurs in the lowest 300 m, with a sharp decrease in speed above the maximum. Especially well defined nocturnal low-level jets occur at sites in the southern San Joaquin Valley, where maximum speeds of 10 m s-1 or more occur 1–2 h before midnight at heights near 300 m. The afternoon mixed layer, generally deeper than 1000 m, increases in depth with up-valley distance in both valleys. At night, temperature inversions develop in the lowest several hundred meters with near-isothermal layers above. Mean temperatures in the lowest 500 m of the valleys are always warmer than at the same altitude over the coast, and temperature increases from the lower to upper valleys. The diurnal oscillations of the coast– valley and along-valley temperature and pressure difference reach a maximum in late afternoon and a minimum in early morning. These oscillations are in phase with the diurnal variation of westerly onshore flows. The along-valley wind maxima, however, occur 1–2 h before midnight, whereas the along-valley pressure gradient maxima are usually found just before sunset.

A zirconium cathode was operated in a nitrogen environment, and the plasma composition was analyzed by time-of-flight charge-to-mass spectrometry. Large plasma chemistry changes were detected with respect to time and pressure. The 250 μs plasma pulse can be divided in two characteristic phases: a transient phase before 150 μs and a steady state phase for all later times. The measured changes in plasma chemistry in the transient phase at p∼10-5 Torr are explained by charge transfer collisions, while the increasing N+ fraction in the p>10-5 Torr range most likely originates from erosion of the nitrided cathode surface. In the steady-state phase, a pressure-induced change from higher to lower charge states was observed, which was mainly due to scattering of self-sputtered metal followed by metal ion-atom charge exchange collisions. These results are of importance for understanding the evolution of thin film composition and microstructure during reactive plasma deposition.

The experimental data were compared with theoretical simulations assuming that the interfaces consist of a periodic sequence of monoatomic steps. The displacement field in the superlattice was calculated by continuum elasticity and using a valence-force field method. From the fit of the experimental data to the theory, the lengths of individual atomic terraces were determined.

The samples were either coimplanted with B and N ions or implanted with each element alone. The annealing was performed at 1700 °C for times ranging from 10 to 1800 s in argon ambient or in the vapors of silicon and carbon. Transmission electron microscopy has been used to determine the structural properties of implanted layers after the annealing. The N concentration profiles remained unchanged after the annealing. B atoms showed transient enhanced out- and in-diffusion. The coimplantation reduced the fraction of mobile B atoms participating in out- and in-diffusion processes and resulted in an increase in the density and decrease in size of dislocation loops formed in the implanted layer. The B diffusion coefficients in both SiC polytypes have been determined and a diffusion mechanism has been discussed.

The main contribution to the MRFM signal is associated with a part of the resonance slice near the surface of the sample. The regular (approximately exponential) decay of the MRFM signal is followed by the nondecaying random signal. The spectrum of the random signal is characterized by the high level of noise at low frequencies and a roll off at the characteristic frequency related to the inverse relaxation time.

MMT exhibits Langevin paramagnetism with an effective magnetic moment of 5.5±0.1 μB per Fe ion whereas SMMT has diamagnetic properties. At 300 K, M/H of HCT measured in a magnetic field of H<=1 kOe is larger than that of MMT, whereas in a field of 50 kOe, the inverse situation is observed. The difference arises because the magnetization of HCT is dominated by a contribution from ferromagneticlike impurities. The 1H and 29Si NMR signals of MMT are broadened beyond detectability due to the paramagnetic effect. Although HCT contains ferromagneticlike components that result in a large M/H in low field, it yields 1H and 29Si NMR spectra with signal intensities similar to those of diamagnetic SMMT. Our data highlight that the quality of the NMR spectra is not related to the low-field magnetic susceptibility but to the bulk magnetization in the high magnetic field used for NMR.

The first, the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System (GEOS DAS), uses an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) and an observation-space-based analysis system, the Physical-Space Statistical Analysis System (PSAS). GEOS DAS is very similar to global meteorological weather forecasting data assimilation systems but is used at NASA for climate research. The second, the Kalman filter, uses a more consistent algorithm to determine the forecast error covariance matrix than does GEOS DAS. For atmospheric assimilation, the gridded dynamical fields typically have more than 106 variables; therefore, the full error covariance matrix may be in excess of a teraword. For the Kalman filter this problem will require petaflop s-1 computing to achieve effective throughput for scientific research.

The method is computationally inexpensive and is suited for dynamics simulations where (1) adiabatic states are required “on-the-fly” and (2) the primary source of the electronic coupling between the diabatic states is the perturbative spin-orbit interaction among the 3d electrons. The model Hamiltonian we develop is a variant of the Anderson impurity model and achieves efficiency through a physically motivated basis set reduction based on the large value of the d-d Coulomb interaction Ud and a Lánczos matrix diagonalization routine to solve for eigenvalues. The model parameters are constrained by fits to the partial density of states obtained from ab initio density functional theory calculations. For a particular application of our model we focus on electron transfer occurring between cobalt ions solvated by ammonium, incorporating configuration interaction between multiplet states for both metal ions. We demonstrate the capability of the method to efficiently calculate adiabatic potential energy surfaces and the electronic coupling factor we have calculated compares well to previous calculations and experiment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The hydrogen source was shown to be from trace H impurities present in the bulk gold target. Carefully designed experiments using H2- and D2-seeded helium carrier gas were used to study the electronic structure of Au2H- and Au2D- using photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional calculations. Well-resolved photoelectron spectra with vibrational resolution were obtained for Au2H- and Au2D-. Two isomers were observed both experimentally and theoretically. The ground state of Au2H- turned out to be linear with a terminal H atom [Au-Au-H]- (1A1,C∞v), whereas a linear [Au-H-Au]- (1A1,D∞h) structure with a bridging H atom was found to be a minor isomer 0.6 eV higher in energy. Calculated electron detachment energies for both isomers agree well with the experimental spectra, confirming their existence in the cluster beam. The observation and confirmation of H impurity in pure gold clusters and the 3.44 Å Au-Au distance in the [Au-H-Au]- isomer presented in the current work provide indirect experimental evidence that the anomalous 3.6 Å Au-Au distances observed in gold nanowires is due to an “invisible” hydrogen impurity atom. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Electronic and structural properties of these clusters were probed by anion photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Characteristics of the M@Au12- species include their remarkably high binding energies and relatively simple spectral features, which reflect their high symmetry and stability. The adiabatic electronic binding energies of M@Au12- were measured to be 3.70±0.03, 3.77±0.03, and 3.76±0.03 eV for M=V, Nb, and Ta, respectively. Comparison of density-functional calculations with experimental data established the highly symmetric icosahedral structures for the 18-electron cluster anions, which may be promising building blocks for cluster-assembled nanomaterials in the form of stoichiometric [M@Au12-]X+ salts. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/11//11/1/2004 VL - 121 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 8486 EP - 8499 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - The adsorption of HCl on the surface of H2O ice has been measured at temperatures and pressures relevant to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The measured HCl surface coverage is found to be at least 100 times lower than currently assumed in models of chlorine catalyzed ozone destruction in cold regions of the upper atmosphere. Measurements were conducted in a closed system by simultaneous application of surface spectroscopy and gas phase mass spectrometry to fully characterize vapor/solid equilibrium. Surface adsorption is clearly distinguished from bulk liquid or solid phases. From 180 to 200 K, submonolayer adsorption of HCl is well described by a Bragg-Williams modified Langmuir model which includes the dissociation of HCl into H+ and Cl- ions. Furthermore, adsorption is consistent with two distinct states on the ice substrate, one in which the ions only weakly adsorb on separate sites, and another where the ions adsorb as an H+-Cl- pair on a single site with adsorption energy comparable to the bulk trihydrate. The number of substrate H2O molecules per adsorption site is also consistent with the stoichiometry of bulk hydrates under these conditions. The ionic states exist in equilibrium, and the total adsorption energy is a function of the relative population of both states. These observations and model provide a quantitative connection between the thermodynamics of the bulk and interfacial phases of HCl/H2O, and represent a consistent physicochemical model of the equilibrium system. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The magnitude and pattern of return values are found to be highly dependent on the seasonal cycle. A similar dependence is found for projected future changes in return values. The correlation between the spatial pattern of return value changes and mean precipitation changes is found to be low. Hence, the changes in mean precipitation do not provide significant information about changes in precipitation extreme values.

Res. Natl. Bur. Standards 718(4) (1967) 242) introduced the problem (now known as the Edmonds Problem) of deciding if a given linear subspace of contains a non-singular matrix, where stands for the linear space of complex matrices. This problem led to many fundamental developments in matroid theory, etc.Classical matching theory can be defined in terms of matrices with non-negative entries. The notion of Positive operator, central in Quantum Theory, is a natural generalization of matrices with non-negative entries. (Here operator refers to maps from matrices to matrices.) First, we reformulate the Edmonds Problem in terms of completely positive operators, or equivalently, in terms of bipartite density matrices. It turns out that one of the most important cases when Edmonds'' problem can be solved in polynomial deterministic time, i.e. an intersection of two geometric matroids, corresponds to unentangled (aka separable) bipartite density matrices. We introduce a very general class (or promise) of linear subspaces of on which there exists a polynomial deterministic time algorithm to solve Edmonds'' problem. The algorithm is a thoroughgoing generalization of algorithms in Linial, Samorodnitsky and Wigderson, Proceedings of the 30th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, ACM, New York, 1998; Gurvits and Yianilos, and its analysis benefits from an operator analog of permanents, so-called Quantum Permanents.Finally, we prove that the weak membership problem for the convex set of separable normalized bipartite density matrices is NP-HARD.

This approach relies upon similarities in the strength reduction factors computed for earthquake ground motions and for short duration pulses. The accuracy of the estimated inelastic spectra obtained using 24 simple pulse waveforms is assessed in order to identify subsets of just several pulse waveforms that are suited for this purpose. Based upon the ground motions and pulses investigated, this approach appears to be equally applicable to short and long duration ground motions and those having near-fault forward directivity features.

The work was motivated by observation of slow oxidation of Fe(II) in an anaerobic chamber, leading to an estimated 3.8×10-7 atmO2 (well below the O2 monitor detection limit) despite recirculation of the N2:H2 atmosphere across a Pd catalyst. Very low O2 activity inside an “anaerobic” chamber can result in erroneous conclusions regarding oxidation-reduction reactivities in anoxic environments. The O2 trap consisted of two sequential barrier suspensions with 93.2 mMFe(III) as ferric hydroxide, 0.90 mMFeCl2, and pH 8.1. The partial pressure of O2 was estimated to be less than 7.5×10-9 atm O2 when reactors were attached to the traps, based on no observed oxidation of Fe(II).

The gears were fabricated using Sandia National Laboratories' LIGA technology (lithography, molding, and electroplating). The images were taken on a microscope built by Resolution Sciences Corporation by slicing the gear into one-micron thin slices, photographing each slice, and then reconstructing the image with software. The images were matched to the original CAD (computer aided design) model, allowing LIGA designers, for the first time, to see visually how much deviation from the design is induced by the manufacturing process. Calibration was done by imaging brass ball bearings and matching them to the CAD model of a sphere. A major advantage of DVI over scanning techniques is that internal defects can be imaged to very high resolution. In order to perform the metrology operations on the microcomponents, high-speed and high-precision algorithms are developed for coordinate metrology. The algorithms are based on a least-squares approach to data registration the {X, Y,Z} point clouds generated from the component surface onto a target geometry defined in a CAD model. Both primitive geometric element analyses as well as an overall comparison of the pan geometry are discussed. initial results of the micromeasurements are presented in the paper.

SN - 00222461 AB - The effect of thermal cycling on the stress-strain behavior of polyamide (nylon) and polyphenylene-sulfide (PPS) based injection molded Nd-Fe-B magnets was investigated after test specimens were cycled between -40 and 150°C for 50, 500, or 5000 repetitions. It was found that PPS based magnets exhibit higher ultimate strengths, higher modulus and lower toughness than nylon based magnets. Furthermore, formulations containing platelet morphology particles exhibited higher strengths and modulus than those containing spherical morphology particles, with increases in particle volume fraction leading to a decrease in strength. Differences in strength, modulus, and toughness were attributed to the degree of bonding between the matrix and the magnet powder in the various formulations, the degree of crosslinking, along with the effects of powder morphology. Additionally, it was found that while the stiffness of these materials increased with thermal cycling, their toughness decreased significantly, by as much as 99%. The extent of these effects was found to be dependent on the polymer matrix, powder morphology, and volume fraction of powder in the magnet. Finally, it was found that the PPS composites showed less relative change due to thermal cycling than the Nylon composites.

A symbol , , is independent of u and allows formulas for differentiation, bisection, duplication, and addition to remain valid when c, d, and n are permuted. The five transformations of first order, which change the argument and modulus of the functions, take a unified form in which they correspond to the five nontrivial permutations of c, d, and n. There are 18 transformations of second order (including Landen''s and Gauss''s transformations) comprising three sets of six. The sets are related by permutations of the original functions cs, ds, and ns, and there are only three sets because each set is symmetric in two of these. The six second-order transformations in each set are related by first-order transformations of the transformed functions, and all 18 take a unified form. All results are derived from properties of without invoking Weierstrass functions or theta functions.

Water uptake and dynamic mechanical analysis were coupled with previous observations that the PEM can have two functional morphological regimes, which depend on the degree of disulfonation (copolymer composition), acidification method, and hydrothermal treatment. The two regimes are observed by AFM to represent: (1) a “closed” structure where the hydrophilic copolymer chain segments essentially aggregate as isolated domains; or (2) an “open” structure where the domain connectivity of the hydrophilic phase of the copolymers is achieved. It was demonstrated that methanol permeability (25°C) of the copolymers abruptly increased at copolymer compositions and processing conditions that influenced the membrane morphology to change from a closed to a much more open structure. The activation energy in the closed structure regime, ∼20kJ/mol, was about 35% higher than that in the open regime, ∼15kJ/mol. The BPSH copolymers had higher selectivity (i.e. proton conductivity/permeability) than Nafion because of their remarkably lower methanol permeability, suggesting these materials hold promise for improved DMFC performance. Selectivity increased with the degree of disulfonation in closed structures, but decreased in the open structure regime. It is suggested that the optimum concentration of proton conducting groups for DMFC should be observed at or near the percolation threshold.

The primers were specific to copper-dependent nitrite reductase gene (nirK). We were able to detect about 200 copeis of nirK in the presence of abundant non-specific target DNA and about 1.2×103 Pseudomonas sp. G-179 cells from one gram of sterilized soil by PCR amplification. A 312-bp nirK internal standard (IS) was constructed, which showed very similar amplification efficiency with the target nirKfragment (349 bp) over 4 orders of magnitude (103–106). The accuracy of this system was evaluated by quantifying various known amount of nirK DNA. The linear regressions were obtained with a R2 of 0.9867 for 103copies of nirK, 0.9917 for 104 copies of nirK, 0.9899 for 105 copies of nirK and 0.9846 for 106 copies of nirK. A high correlation between measured nirK and calculated nirK (slope of 1.0398, R2=0.9992) demonstrated that an accurate measurement could be achieved with this system. Using this method, we quantified nirK in several A-horizon and stream sediment samples from eastern Tennessee. In general, the abundance of nirK was in the range of 108–109 copies g soil−1 dry weight. The nirK content in the soil samples appeared correlated with NH4(N) content in the soil. The activities of copper-denitrifying bacteria were evaluated by quantifying cDNA of nirK. In most of sample examined, the content of nirK cDNA was less than 105 copies g soil−1 dry weight. Higher nirK cDNA content (>106 copies g soil−1 dry weight) was detected from both sediment samples at Rattlebox Creek and the Walker Branch West Ridge. Although the stream sediment samples at the Walker Branch West Ridge contained less half of the nirK gene content as compared to A-horizon sample, the activities of copper-denitrifying bacteria were almost 600 times higher than in the A-horizon sample.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 108 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 17050 EP - 17058 SN - 15206106 AB - The adsorption of acetaldehyde and its coadsorption and reaction with NO2 were investigated on a Na-Y,FAU zeolite using in situ FTIR spectroscopy. Acetaldehyde adsorbs strongly over Na-Y and desorbs molecularly at around 400 K with very limited extent of condensation or polymerization. Reaction between CH3CHO and NO2 takes place in coadsorption experiments even at 300 K. In the initial step, acetaldehyde is oxidized to acetic acid accompanied by the formation of NO, which can be observed as N2O3 formed via a further reaction between NO and NO2. The key intermediates in the overall NOx reduction in this process are nitromethane and, possibly, nitrosomethane, which form in the next step. Their decomposition and further reaction with adsorbed NOx species lead to the formation of HCN, HNCO, N2O, CO2, and organic nitrile species identified by their characteristic IR vibrational signatures. At 473 K, the reaction between adsorbed CH3CHO and NO2 is very fast. The results seem to suggest a mechanism in which N-N bond formation takes place among ionic nitrogen containing species (NO+ and CN- or NCO-). No evidence has been found to suggest the participation of NHx+NOy- type species in the N-N bond formation under the experimental conditions of this study, although their role in the overall N2 formation process cannot be ruled out under realistic catalytic conditions.

The anisotropic GM operator is potentially useful in both coarse- and high-resolution ocean models, and in this study the focus is on its application in high-resolution eddying solutions, for which it provides an adiabatic alternative to the more commonly used biharmonic horizontal diffusion operators. It is shown that realistically high levels of eddy energy can be simulated using harmonic anisotropic diffusion and friction operators. Isotropic forms can also be used, but these tend either to overly damp the solution when a large diffusion coefficient is used or to introduce unacceptable levels of numerical noise when a small coefficient is used. A series of numerical simulations of the North Atlantic Ocean are conducted at 0.2° resolution using anisotropic viscosity, anisotropic GM, and biharmonic mixing operators to investigate the effects of the anisotropic forms and to isolate changes in the solutions specifically associated with anisotropic GM. A high-resolution 0.1° simulation is then conducted using both anisotropic forms, and the results are compared with a similar run using biharmonic mixing. Modest improvements are seen in the mean wind-driven circulation with the anisotropic forms, but the largest effects are due to the anisotropic GM parameterization, which eliminates the spurious diapycnal diffusion inherent in horizontal tracer diffusion. This leads to significant improvements in the model thermohaline circulation, including the meridional heat transport, meridional overturning circulation, and deep-water formation and convection in the Labrador Sea.

Experimental measurements of temperature and density profiles in the hot spot are critical for implosion diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a simple technique for measuring core temperature and density profiles in cryogenic implosion plasmas. This technique uses absolutely calibrated continuum emission spectroscopy coupled with two-dimensional imaging to allow temperature and density profiles to be measured directly. We develop the technique analytically, and validate it using synthetic data and hydrodynamics simulation results. We find that the technique should be sufficiently accurate to measure central temperatures and densities to better than 20%. The technique may also find application to the diagnosis of other types of plasmas.

Six of the airfoils are candidates for use on small wind turbines operating at low Reynolds numbers. One airfoil was tested for comparison to benchmark data. Tests were conducted with and without boundary layer tripping. In some cases, a turbulence grid was placed upstream in the test section to investigate inflow turbulence noise. An array of 48 microphones was used to locate noise sources and separate airfoil noise from extraneous tunnel noise. Trailing-edge noise was dominant for all airfoils in clean tunnel flow. With the boundary layer untripped, several airfoils exhibited pure tones that disappeared after proper tripping was applied. In the presence of inflow turbulence, leading-edge noise was dominant for all airfoils.

To better comprehend the fluid dynamic mechanisms under- lying this phenomenon, time dependent blade surface pressure data were acquired from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiment (UAE), a full-scale HAWT tested in the NASA Ames 80 ft × 120 ft wind tunnel. These surface pressure data were processed to obtain normal force and flow field topology data. Further analyses were carried out in a manner that allowed tip speed ratio effects to be isolated from other confounding influences. Results showed clear correlations between normal forces, flow field topologies, and tip speed ratios. These relationships changed significantly at different blade radial locations, pointing to the complex three-dimensional flow physics present on rotating HAWT blades.

The scope of this paper is limited to results from simulated wind and dynamic loads. The operating loads on a generic three bladed up- wind 1.5 MW wind turbine blade were analyzed over a range of operating conditions, and an aggregate probability distribution for the actual phase angles between the peak in- plane (lead-lag) and peak out-of-plane (flap) loads was determined. Using a finite element model (FEM) of the 1.5 MW blade and Miner's Rule [Miner, A., 1945, "Cumulative Damage in Fatigue," Trans. ASME, 67], the accumulated theoretical fatigue damage (based on axial strains) resulting from a fatigue test with variable phase angles using the aggregate distribution was compared to the damage resulting from a fatigue test with a constant phase angle. The FEM nodal damage distribution at specific blade cross sections were compared for the constant and variable phase angle cases. Single-node stress concentrations were distributed arbitrarily around one cross section to simulate material defects in a blade undergoing testing. Results show that the variable phase angle case results in higher damage on the critical nodes. In addition, the probability of discovering a material defect during a test was substantially increased when variable phase loading was used. The effect of phase angle sequence on the damage accumulation was also considered. For this analysis, the finite element results were processed using a nonlinear damage accumulation model. Results show that the sequence of the phase angle can have a large effect on the fatigue damage, and multiple, shorter length sequences produce higher damage than a single, long term sequence.

With the objective of establishing correlations between structural response and inflow, previous studies have employed regression and other dependency analyses to attempt to relate loads to various inflow parameters. With these inflow parameters that may be thought of as single-point-in-space statistics that ignore the spatial nature of the inflow, no significant correlation was identified between load levels and any single inflow parameter or even any set of such parameters, beyond the mean and standard deviation of the hub- height horizontal wind speed. Accordingly, here, we examine spatial statistics in the measured inflow of the LIST turbine by estimating the coherence for the three turbulence components (along-wind, across-wind, and vertical). We examine coherence spectra for both lateral and vertical separations and use the available ten-minute time series of the three components at several locations. The data obtained from spatial arrays on three main towers located upwind from the test turbine as well as on two additional towers on either side of the main towers consist of 291 ten-minute records. Details regarding estimation of the coherence functions from limited data are discussed. Comparisons with standard coherence models available in the literature and provided in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) guidelines are also discussed. It is found that the Davenport exponential coherence model may not be appropriate especially for modeling the coherence of the vertical turbulence component since it fails to account for reductions in coherence at low frequencies and over large separations. Results also show that the Mann uniform shear turbulence model predicts coherence spectra for all turbulence components and for different lateral separations better than the isotropic von Kármán model. Finally, on studying the cross-coherence among pairs of turbulence components based on field data, it is found that the coherence observed between along-wind and vertical turbulence components is not predicted by the isotropic von Kármán model while the Mann model appears to overestimate this cross-coherence.

To achieve this goal, we must design wind turbines to extract maximum energy and reduce component and system loads. This paper applies modern state- space control design methods to a two-bladed teetering-hub upwind machine located at the National Wind Technology Center. The design objective is to regulate turbine speed in region 3 (above rated wind speed) and enhance damping in several low-damped flexible modes of the turbine. The controls approach is based on the Disturbance Accommodating Control method and provides accountability for wind-speed disturbances. First, controls are designed with the single control input rotor collective pitch to stabilize the first drive-train torsion as well as the tower first fore-aft bending modes. Generator torque is then incorporated as an additional control input. This reduces some of the demand placed on the rotor collective pitch control system and enhances first drive train torsion mode damping. individual blade pitch control is then used to attenuate wind disturbances having spatial variation over the rotor and effectively reduces blade flap deflections caused by wind shear.

The first of these is that there is no accurate way to determine the gain K; modeling programs are not accurate enough to represent all of the complex aerodynamics, and these aerodynamics change over time. Furthermore, it is not certain whether the value of K used in the standard control even provides for the maximum energy capture under real-world turbulent conditions. We introduce new control methods to address these issues. First, we show in simulation that using smaller values of K than the standard can result in increased energy capture. Second, we give simulation results showing that an optimally tracking rotor control scheme can improve upon the standard scheme by assisting the rotor speed in tracking wind-speed fluctuations more rapidly. Finally, we propose an adaptive control scheme that allows for maximum power capture despite parameter uncertainty.

JO - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 11 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 447 EP - 455 SN - 09090495 AB - At the Advanced Light Source, three protein crystallography beamlines have been built that use as a source one of the three 6 T single-pole superconducting bending magnets (superbends) that were recently installed in the ring. The use of such single-pole super-conducting bend magnets enables the development of a hard X-ray program on a relatively low-energy 1.9 GeV ring without taking up insertion-device straight sections. The source is of relatively low power but, owing to the small electron beam emittance, it has high brightness. X-ray optics are required to preserve the brightness and to match the illumination requirements for protein crystallography. This was achieved by means of a collimating premirror bent to a plane parabola, a double-crystal monochromator followed by a toroidal mirror that focuses in the horizontal direction with a 2:1 demagnification. This optical arrangement partially balances aberrations from the collimating and toroidal mirrors such that a tight focused spot size is achieved. The optical properties of the beamline are an excellent match to those required by the small protein crystals that are typically measured. The design and performance of these new beamlines are described.

Illumination with coherent radiation, produced by inserting a 20 µm pinhole in front of the sample, leads to a magnetic speckle pattern in the scattered intensity that gives access to the domain morphology. Application of an in-plane magnetic field for a few seconds gives a strong change in the observed intensity fluctuations, which indicates a large degree of variation between the two patterns taken before and after field exposure. From the speckle pattern we calculate a degree of coherence of β = 0.5 for the incident beam.

JO - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 11 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 504 SN - 09090495 AB - The extraction and insertion of lithium in LiFePO4 has been investigated in practical Li-ion intercalation electrodes for Li-ion batteries using Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). A versatile electrochemical in situ reaction cell was utilized, specifically designed for long-term X-ray experiments on battery electrodes during the lithium-extraction/insertion process in electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. The electrode contained about 7.7 mg of LiFePO4 on a 20 µm-thick Al foil. In order to determine the charge compensation mechanism and structural perturbations occurring in the system during cycling, in situ X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (XAFS) measurements were conducted on the cell at a moderate rate using typical Li-ion battery operating voltages (3.0-4.1 V versus Li/Li+). XAS studies of the LiFePO4 electrode measured at the initial state (LiFePO4) showed iron to be in the Fe(H) state corresponding to the initial state (0.0 mAh) of the battery, whereas in the delithiated state (FePO4) iron was found to be in the Fe(III) state corresponding to the final charged state (3 mAh) of the battery. The X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) region of the XAS spectra revealed a high-spin configuration for the two states [Fe(II), d6 and Fe(III), d5]. The XAFS data analysis confirmed that the olivine structure of the LiFePO4 and FePO4 is retained by the electrodes, which is in agreement with the X-ray diffraction observations on these compounds. The XAFS data that were collected continuously during cycling revealed details about the response of the cathode to Li insertion and extraction. These measurements on the LiFePO4 cathode show that the material retains good structural short-range order leading to superior cycling.

In spite of large numbers of mode conversions (compressional to shear wave conversions at the walls), time reversal works extremely well, providing very good spatial and time focusing of elastic waves. Ceramics were bonded to the surface as sources (100-700 kHz); a broadband laser vibrometer (dc-1.5 MHz) was used as detector. Temporal and spatial time-reversal focusing are frequency dependent and depend on the dissipation characteristics of the medium. Doped glass (inverse dissipation Q between 2000 to 3000) shows time-reversed spatial focal resolution at about half of the shear wavelength. The Berea sandstone (Q550) yields a wider focusing width (a bit more than the shear wavelength) due to its lower Q. Focusing in the doped glass is better because the time-reversal (virtual) array created by wave reflections is larger than in the highly attenuating sandstone. These are the first results reported in granular media, and are a first step toward geophysical and field applications.

One or more gas diodes in a loop of pipe create substantial mean flow, approximately proportional to the amplitude of the oscillations. Measurements of wave shape, time-averaged pressure distribution, mass flow, and acoustic power dissipation are presented for a two-diode loop. Analysis of the phenomena is complicated because both the mean flow and the acoustic flow are turbulent and each affects the other significantly. The quasi-steady approximation yields results in rough agreement with the measurements.

Present estimates are quite uncertain, 3 ± 1.5 K for doubling of CO2. Model studies examining climate response to forcing by greenhouse gases and aerosols exhibit large differences in sensitivities and imposed aerosol forcings that raise questions regarding claims of their having reproduced observed large-scale changes in surface temperature over the 20th century. Present uncertainty in forcing, caused largely by uncertainty in forcing by aerosols, precludes meaningful model evaluation by comparison with observed global temperature change or empirical determination of climate sensitivity. Uncertainty in aerosol forcing must be reduced at least three-fold for uncertainty in climate sensitivity to be meaningfully reduced and bounded.

The succinimidyl ester cross-linking reagents are commonly used to cross-link primary amine-containing amino acids (N-terminus and lysine). However, in this study they were used to react with tyrosines as well, which allowed for the formation of cross-links between two primary amines, one primary amine and one tyrosine, or two tyrosines. This result is extremely important to the chemical cross-linking community for two reasons: (1) all possible cross-linked residues must be considered when analyzing data from these experiments to generate correct distance constraints and structural information, and (2) utilizing the versatility of these cross-linking reagents allows more information content to be generated from a single cross-linking reagent, which may increase the number of cross-links obtained in the experiment. Herein, we study the reactivity of the succinimidyl ester labeling and cross-linking reagents with angiotensin I and oxidized insulin β-chain. Using the succinimidyl acetate labeling reagent, the reactivity of the N-terminus was found to be greater than either lysine or tyrosine. However, a selectivity of the cross-linking reagent was observed for either tyrosine or lysine depending on the pH of the reaction solution. In acidic pH, it was observed that tyrosine was more reactive, while in alkaline pH lysine was more reactive. Exploiting this selectivity predominantly N-terminus-tyrosine or tyrosine-tyrosine cross-links were favored at acidic pH, while N-terminus-tyrosine or tyrosine-lysine cross-links were favored at alkaline pH.

The RF motion of ions in the bath gas environment involves a large number of ion-neutral collisions that leads to the internal activation of ions and their effective “heating” (when a thermal distribution of internal energies results). The degree of ion activation required in various applications may range from a minimum level (e.g., slightly raising the average internal energy) to an intense level resulting in ion fragmentation. Several research groups proposed using the effective temperature as a measure of ion activation under conditions of multiple ion-neutral collisions. Here we present approximate relationships for the effective ion temperature relevant to typical operation modes of RF multipole devices. We show that RF ion activation results in near-thermal energies for ions occupying an equilibrium position at the center of an RF trap, whereas increased ion activation can be produced by shifting ions off-center, e.g., by means of an external DC electric field. The ion dissociation in the linear quadrupole ion trap using the dipolar DC ion activation has been observed experimentally and interpreted in terms of the effective ion temperature.

JO - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences JF - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Y1 - 2004/11//11/1/2004 VL - 61 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 2602 EP - 2615 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00224928 AB - The datasets currently being collected by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program on the islands of Nauru and Manus represent the longest time series of ground-based cloud measurements in the tropical western Pacific region. In this series of papers, a shortwave flux closure study is presented using observations collected at the Nauru site between June 1999 and May 2000. The first paper presented frequency of occurrence of nonprecipitating clouds detected by the millimeter-wavelength cloud radar (MMCR) at Nauru and statistics of their retrieved microphysical properties. This paper presents estimates of the cloud radiative effect over the study period and results from a closure study in which retrieved cloud properties are input to a radiative transfer model and the modeled surface fluxes are compared to observations. The average surface shortwave cloud radiative forcing is 48.2 W m-2, which is significantly smaller than the cloud radiative forcing estimates found during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) field project. The difference in the estimates during the two periods is due to the variability in cloud amount over Nauru during different phases of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In the closure study, modeled and observed surface fluxes show large differences at short time scales, due to the temporal and spatial variability of the clouds observed at Nauru. Averaging over 60 min reduces the average root-mean-square difference in total flux to 10% of the observed flux. Modeled total downwelling fluxes are unbiased with respect to the observed fluxes while direct fluxes are underestimated and diffuse fluxes are overestimated. Examination of the differences indicates that cloud amount derived from the ground-based measurements is an overestimate of the radiatively important cloud amount due to the anisotropy of the cloud field at Nauru, interpolation of the radar data, uncertainty in the microwave brightness temperature measurements for thin clouds, and the uncertainty in relating the sixth moment of the droplet size distribution observed by the radar to the more radiatively important moments.

The analysis is based on the theory of information-gap uncertainty, which models the clustering of uncertain events in families of nested sets instead of assuming a probability structure. The system investigated is the propagation of a transient impact through a layer of hyper-elastic material. The two sources of non-linearity are (1) the softening of the constitutive law representing the hyper-elastic material and (2) the contact dynamics at the interface between metallic and crushable materials. The robustness of the correlation between test and simulation, to sources of parameter variability, is first studied to identify the parameters of the model that significantly influence the agreement between measurements and predictions. Model updating under non-probabilistic uncertainty is then illustrated, based on two complementary immunity functions: the robustness to uncertainty and the opportunity from uncertainty. Finally an info-gap model is embedded within a probability density function to represent uncertainty in the knowledge of the model''s parameters and their correlation structure. Although computationally expensive, it is demonstrated that info-gap reasoning can greatly enhance our understanding of a moderately complex system when the theory of probability cannot be applied due to insufficient information.

Molecular mechanisms of macromolecular crystallization were visualized and fundamental kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, which govern the crystallization process of a number of macromolecular crystals, have been determined. High-resolution AFM imaging of crystal surfaces provides information on the packing of macromolecules within the unit cell and on the structure of large macromolecular assemblies. X-ray diffraction techniques provide a bulk probe with poorer spatial resolution but excellent sensitivity to mosaicity and strain. Defect structures and disorder created in macromolecular crystals during growth, seeding, and post-growth treatments including flash cooling were characterized and their impacts on the diffraction properties of macromolecular crystals have been analyzed. The diverse and dramatic effects of impurities on growth and defect formation have also been studied. Practical implications of these fundamental insights into the improvement of macromolecular crystallization protocols are discussed.

Funding of high throughput crystallography pilot projects through the NIH Protein Structure Initiative provides the opportunity to collect crystallization data in a comprehensive and statistically valid form. Data mining and machine learning algorithms thus have the potential to deliver predictive models for protein crystallization. However, the underlying complex physical reality of crystallization, combined with a generally ill-defined and sparsely populated sampling space, and inconsistent scoring and annotation make the development of predictive models non-trivial. We discuss the conceptual problems, and review strengths and limitations of current approaches towards crystallization prediction, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive and valid sampling protocols. In view of limited overlap in techniques and sampling parameters between the publicly funded high throughput crystallography initiatives, exchange of information and standardization should be encouraged, aiming to effectively integrate data mining and machine learning efforts into a comprehensive predictive framework for protein crystallization. Similar experimental design and knowledge discovery strategies should be applied to valid analysis and prediction of protein expression, solubilization, and purification, as well as crystal handling and cryo-protection.

The identified gene arrangements are unique among metazoans, including each other, sharing no more than one or two single gene boundaries with a few distantly related taxa. Phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences inferred from the sequenced genes confirms that the acoelomorph flatworms (acoels+nemertodermatids) do not belong to the Platyhelminthes, but are, instead, the most basal extant bilaterian group. Therefore, the Platyhelminthes, as traditionally constituted, is a polyphyletic phylum.

The X-ray and ultraviolet data show evidence for a prominent dip before the eclipse, which is due to the accretion stream obscuring the accretion region. The dip ingress is rapid in hard X-rays, suggesting that there is a highly collimated core of absorption. We find that a different level of absorption column density is required to match the observed count rates in different energy bands. We propose that this is due to the fact that different absorption components should be used to model the reprocessed X-rays, the shocked X-ray component and the ultraviolet emission, and we explore the effect that this has on the resulting fits to the spectrum. Further, there is evidence that absorption starts to obscure the softer X-rays shortly after the onset of the bright phase. This suggests that material is threaded by an unusually wide range of magnetic field lines, consistent with the recent suggestion of Bridge et al. We find that the period is slightly greater than that determined some years ago by Schwope&Mengel.

For Ag nanoparticles, coherent exciton coupling to the conduction band electrons leads to constructive interference and a long-lived exciton. For Au nanoparticles, the excitonic state interferes destructively with bound electron transition dipoles and the exciton lifetime is reduced by two orders of magnitude. Coherent polarization coupling in heterostructured nanomaterials may strongly impact the functionality of future nanoelectronic and nanooptical materials.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 4 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2245 EP - 2250 SN - 15306984 AB - Membranes consisting of multiwall carbon nanotubes embedded in a silicon nitride matrix were fabricated for fluid mechanics studies on the nanometer scale. Characterization by tracer diffusion and scanning electron microscopy suggests that the membrane is free of large voids. An upper limit to the diffusive flux of D2O of 2.4 × 10-8 mol/m2 s was determined, indicating extremely slow transport through the membranes. By contrast, hydrodynamic calculations of water flow across a nanotube membrane of similar specifications predict a much higher molar flux of 1.91 mol/m2 s, suggesting that the nanotubes used in the membrane have a “bamboo” morphology. The carbon nanotube membranes were then used to make nanoporous silicon nitride membranes, which were fabricated by sacrificial removal of the carbon. Nitrogen flow measurements on these structures give a membrane permeance of 4.7 × 10-4 mol/m2 s Pa at a pore density of 4 × 1010 cm-2. Using a Knudsen diffusion model, the average pore size of this membrane is estimated to be 66 nm, which agrees well with TEM observations of the multiwall carbon nanotube outer diameter. These membranes are a robust platform for the study of confined molecular transport, with applications in separations and chemical sensing.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 4 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2277 EP - 2285 SN - 15306984 AB - The local structure and composition of Cu ions dispersed in CdSe nanocrystals is examined using soft X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Using Cu L-edge XANES and X-ray photoelectron measurements (XPS), we find that the Cu ions exist in the Cu(I) oxidation state. We also find that the observed Cu L-edge XANES signal is directly proportional to the molar percent of Cu present in our final material. Se L-edge XANES indicates changes in the Se density of states with Cu doping, due to a chemical bonding effect, and supports a statistical doping mechanism. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements indicate that Cu ions may act as deep electron traps. We show that XANES, XPS, and PL are a powerful combination of methods to study the electronic and chemical structure of dopants in nanostructured materials.

Since their discovery in a rapidly solidified Al–Mn alloy in 1984, the central issue in the field has been to understand why they form. Are they energetically stable compounds or stabilized by entropy? In recent years, major strides have been made in determining atomic structure, largely by direct imaging using advanced electron microscopy. One system is now known to be energetically stabilized, and quasicrystals are therefore firmly established as a new physical state of matter. They represent a unique packing of atomic clusters some tens of atoms in size, with substantial localized fluctuations, referred to as phasons. Understanding phasons may in future allow their unique macroscopic properties to be tailored for useful materials applications.

Here we present structural and biochemical data showing that protein Y, an Escherichia coli stress protein, fills the tRNA- and mRNA-binding channel of the small ribosomal subunit to stabilize intact ribosomes. Protein Y inhibits translation initiation during cold shock but not at normal temperatures. Furthermore, protein Y competes with conserved translation initiation factors that, in bacteria, are required for ribosomal subunit dissociation. The mechanism used by protein Y to reduce translation initiation during stress and quickly release ribosomes for renewed translation initiation may therefore occur widely in nature.

Here, we show that the loss of such rate-coded information due to synchronous oscillations between retinal ganglion cells can be overcome by exploiting the information encoded by the correlations themselves. Two very different models, one based on axon-mediated inhibitory feedback and the other on oscillatory common input, were used to generate artificial spike trains whose synchronous oscillations were similar to those measured experimentally. Pooled spike trains were summed into a threshold detector whose output was classified using Bayesian discrimination. For a threshold detector with short summation times, realistic oscillatory input yielded superior discrimination of stimulus intensity compared to rate-matched Poisson controls. Even for summation times too long to resolve synchronous inputs, gamma band oscillations still contributed to improved discrimination by reducing the total spike count variability, or Fano factor. In separate experiments in which neurons were synchronized in a stimulus-dependent manner without attendant oscillations, the Fano factor increased markedly with stimulus intensity, implying that stimulus-dependent oscillations can offset the increased variability due to synchrony alone.

We undertook an in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) study and used factor analysis to identify specific cellular and regional brain changes that may serve as metabolic markers of ADC. The ratio of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), and myoinositol (MI) over creatine (Cr), markers of neuronal and glial cell metabolism, were measured in the basal ganglia, centrum semiovale, and parietal cortex from 100 subjects with and without ADC. Three metabolic patterns were identified, which we termed “inflammatory” (mainly MI/Cr elevations in all three regions plus Cho/Cr increases in the centrum semiovale and parietal cortex), “basal ganglia” (mostly NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr elevations in the basal ganglia), and “neuronal” (primarily NAA/Cr reductions in the centrum semiovale and the parietal cortex). Logistic regression analysis revealed that, adjusted for age, basal ganglia and neuronal pattern scores were strongly associated with ADC but inflammatory levels were not. We conclude that by using factor analysis, we are able to combine multiple metabolites across brain regions in a biologically plausible manner and construct a predictive model of ADC adjusting for relevant factors such as age.

Our goal was to assess, in vivo, the extent and regional distribution of brain ER occupancy in rats chronically exposed to 17β-estradiol (E2) or tamoxifen (TAM). For that purpose, female ovariectomized Sprague–Dawley rats were implanted with subcutaneous pellets containing either placebo (OVX), E2, or TAM for 3 weeks. ER occupancy in grossly dissected regions was quantified with 16α-[18F]fluoroestradiol ([18F]FES). Both E2 and TAM produced significant decreases in radioligand uptake in the brain although the effect of E2 was larger and more widespread than the effect of TAM. Detailed regional analysis of the interaction was then undertaken using a radioiodinated ligand, 11β-methoxy-16α-[125I]iodo-estradiol ([125I]MIE2), and quantitative ex vivo autoradiography. E2 treatment resulted in near-complete (86.6 ± 17.5%) inhibition of radioligand accumulation throughout the brain, while ER occupancy in the TAM group showed a marked regional distribution such that percentage inhibition ranged from 40.5 ± 15.6 in the ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus to 84.6 ± 4.5 in the cortical amygdala. These results show that exposure to pharmacologically relevant levels of TAM produces a variable, region-specific pattern of brain ER occupancy, which may be influenced by the regional proportion of ER receptor subtypes. These findings may partially explain the highly variable and region-specific effects observed in neurochemical, metabolic, and functional studies of the effects of TAM in the brain of experimental animals as well as human subjects.

T1 - Severity of neuropsychological impairment in cocaine and alcohol addiction: association with metabolism in the prefrontal cortex JO - Neuropsychologia JF - Neuropsychologia Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 42 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1447 EP - 1458 SN - 00283932 AB - We used exploratory and confirmatory statistical approaches to study the severity of neuropsychological (NP) impairment in 42 crack/cocaine addicted subjects and in 112 comparison subjects (40 alcoholics and 72 controls). Twenty neuropsychological test indices most reliably defining predetermined cognitive domains were submitted to exploratory factor analysis. A four-dimensional model of neurocognitive function was derived: Verbal Knowledge, Visual Memory, Verbal Memory, and Attention/Executive functioning accounted for 63% of the variance. We then examined this model’s association with resting glucose metabolism in the brain reward circuit measured with 2-deoxy-2[18F]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography. Results revealed that (1) cocaine addicted individuals had a generalized mild level of neurocognitive impairment (<1 S.D. below control mean); and (2) controlling for age and education, relative metabolism in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex significantly predicted the Visual Memory and Verbal Memory factors and relative metabolism in the anterior cingulate gyrus significantly predicted the Attention/Executive factor. Nevertheless, it remains to be determined whether metabolic changes in these regions are associated with addiction. Our results also suggest that compared to cocaine, alcohol has a more detrimental effect on Attention/Executive functioning, as assessed with traditional NP measures. We conclude that relative to other psychopathological disorders (such as schizophrenia), the severity of neuropsychological impairment in cocaine addiction is modest, albeit not indicative of the absence of neurocognitive dysfunction. The impact of such small differences in performance on quality of life, and possibly on craving and relapse, may be substantial. Tasks that simulate real-life decision-making or that target specific putative cognitive-behavioral or motivational–emotional mechanisms might offer greater sensitivity in characterizing the changes that accompany addiction to drugs. Obtaining valid estimates of alcohol use in cocaine addicted subjects is essential in characterizing neurocognitive functioning in individuals addicted to drugs.

To identify putative sFRP-1 binding motifs, we screened an M13 phage displayed combinatorial peptide library. A predominant motif, L/V-VDGRW-L/V, was present in ∼70% of the phage that bound sFRP-1. Use of peptide/alkaline phosphatase chimeras and alanine scanning confirmed that the conserved motif was important for sFRP-1 recognition. The dissociation constant for a peptide/sFRP-1 complex was 3.9μM. Additional analysis revealed that DGR was the core of the binding motif. Although Wnt proteins lack this sequence, other proteins possessing the DGR motif may function as novel binding partners for sFRP-1.

The evolution of texture in the cold-rolled samples with different initial textures was then investigated by X-ray diffraction. The texture evolution was quantified by mathematical formulae of texture volume fractions and rolling true strain. The results show that initial texture has a strong influence on the evolution of rolling texture. AA 5182 aluminium alloy with an initial rotated-cube (r-cube) (45_ normal direction r-cube) texture exhibits the fastest rate of formation of the Β fibre. The rate of formation of the Β fibre decreases as the initial texture changes from the r-cube texture to the cube texture. The relationship between the rate of formation of the Β fibre (kΒ value in the mathematical formula for the volume fraction of the Β fibre) and the initial texture (Mcube and Mr-cube: the volume fractions of the cube and r-cube components respectively) can be expressed as kΒ = 0:37 - 0:03(Mcube.5.41 - Mr-cube/5:64).

JO - Philosophical Magazine Letters JF - Philosophical Magazine Letters Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 84 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 745 EP - 754 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 09500839 AB - Clusters of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) in the form of parallel crowdions are created directly in high-energy displacement cascades produced in metals by neutron irradiation. They are equivalent to small perfect dislocation loops and, in isolation in pure metals, undergo fast thermally-activated glide in the direction of their Burgers vector. Their strain field and ability to glide allows long-range interaction with other extended defects. Indeed, dislocations decorated by dislocation loops are commonly observed after neutron irradiation. Dislocations gliding under applied stress also encounter these mobile defects. These effects influence mechanical properties and require further investigation. This paper presents results from an atomic-scale study of copper and a-iron at either 0?K or 300?K. Loop drag and breakaway effects are investigated for an edge dislocation under applied stress interacting with a row of SIA loops below its glide plane. The maximum speed at which a loop is dragged is lower in copper than iron, and the applied stress at which this occurs is also lower. These differences in the dynamics of cluster-dislocation interaction are determined by the atomic structure of the defects and cannot be investigated by continuum treatment.

The Whitham equations describe slowly modulated periodic solutions of integrable hierarchies of nonlinear differential equations. Through this connection the Laplacian growth is understood as a flow in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.

The reason for this is that only Mn++ ions at substitutional group-III sites, MnIII, provide both the localized spins and (since they are acceptors) also the free carriers needed to mediate the ferromagnetic interaction between these spins. Mn++ ions occupying interstitial sites, on the other hand, are double donors, which compensate the substitutional Mn acceptors, thus reducing the hole concentration; and, in addition, the Mn interstitials form antiferromagnetic pairs with the substitutional Mn++ ions, thus canceling their magnetic moments. Both these effects result in lowering the Curie temperature of the III1-xMnxV alloys. In this paper we show that the manner in which Mn enters the III–V lattice is determined by the Fermi level (i.e., by the electronic processes within the material) during the growth process itself. To demonstrate this, we describe a series of growth experiments that involve annealing, co-doping of III1-xMnxV alloys with Be, as well as remote Be-doping (modulation doping) of Al1-yGayAs/Ga1-xMnxAs/Al1-yGayAs heterostructures.

A discussion is given of background reduction by material selection, detector segmentation, pulse shape analysis, and electroformation of copper parts and granularity. Predictions of the experimental sensitivity are given. For an experimental running time of 10 years over the construction and operation of the Majorana setup, a sensitivity of T1/20ν ∼ 4 × 1027 yr is predicted. This corresponds to 〈mν〉 ∼ 0.003–0.004 eV according to recent QRPA and RQRPA matrix element calculations.© 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

JO - Physics of Fluids JF - Physics of Fluids Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 16 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 4143 EP - 4149 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 10706631 AB - Numerous workers have suggested that the “A” parameter in the relation D(R)=D(∞)[1-A/R] is a measure of the steady-state one-dimensional chemical-reaction-zone length of a detonating explosive. This equation relates the steady-state detonation speed in an explosive material to the lateral dimension of the (usually cylindrical) charge [e.g., the cylinder’s radius (R)]. D(∞) is the detonation speed at infinite lateral charge size. The argument for A being the chemical-reaction-zone length is purely a dimensional one. We show that this supposed relation between A and an explosive’s steady one-dimensional chemical-reaction-zone length is untrue—because the A value is different for the same explosive fired in two types of confinement. However, we give experimental evidence that the ratio of the A values for closely related pairs of explosives, fired in the same confinement material, is a measure of the two explosive’s relative chemical-reaction-zone length. This is done by firing two closely related nitromethane-based explosives in two different types of confinement. We apply this positive result to examining the relative chemical-reaction-zone lengths of other closely related explosive pairs. In all cases, the A ratios agreed with intuition based on experimental results.

A systematic scan of laser produced blast waves was performed and the structure of blast waves was examined over a wide range of drive laser energy. Lasers with energies ranging from 10–1000 J illuminated a pin target in either xenon or nitrogen gas, creating a spherical blast wave. A strongly radiating blast wave in xenon gas is observed while blast waves in nitrogen more closely approximate a pure Taylor–Sedov wave. It is also found that at all laser energies, blast waves traveling through xenon gas had their hydrodynamic evolution significantly affected by the passage of illumination laser.

Precise limitations on the efficiency are now given through a comprehensive analytical and numerical study of single-particle dynamics under the action of a cyclotron-resonant rf drive in various field configurations. Expressions for the particle energy gain and acceleration along the dc magnetic field are obtained. The fundamental correlation between the two effects is described. A second fundamental quantity, namely, the ratio of the potential barrier to the energy gain, can be changed by altering the field configuration. The asymmetric ponderomotive current drive effect can be optimized, by minimizing the transverse heating.

They are measured using one of the tips of a triple probe connected to a 50 Ω input of a spectrum analyzer via a dc block (a small capacitor). The maximum amplitude of all waves is in the center of the plasma and does not appear correlated to the radial electron density or temperature profiles. The waves seem to be generated close to the helicon antenna that was 91 cm “upstream” from the measuring Langmuir probe. A possible explanation is parametric decay of the large amplitude helicon wave that also generates the plasma.

Single bubble motion is determined by an extension of previous buoyancy-drag models extended to the blast-wave-driven case, and a simple bubble merger law in the spirit of the Sharp–Wheeler model allows for the generation of larger scales. The blast-wave-driven case differs in several respects from the classical case of incompressible fluids in a uniform gravitational field. Because of material decompression in the rarefaction behind the blast front, the asymptotic bubble velocity and the merger time depend on time as well as the transverse scale and the drive. For planar blast waves, this precludes the emergence of a self-similar regime independent of the initial conditions. With higher-dimensional blast waves, divergence restores the properties necessary for the establishment of the self-similar state, but its establishment requires a very high initial characteristic mode number and a high Mach number for the incident blast wave.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 11 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5156 EP - 5161 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - In order to estimate the radiated power that can be expected from the next-generation Z-pinch driver such as ZR at 28 MA, current-scaling experiments have been conducted on the 20 MA driver Z. We report on the current scaling of single 40 mm diameter tungsten 240 wire arrays with a fixed 110 ns implosion time. The wire diameter is decreased in proportion to the load current. Reducing the charge voltage on the Marx banks reduces the load current. On one shot, firing only three of the four levels of the Z machine further reduced the load current. The radiated energy scaled as the current squared as expected but the radiated power scaled as the current to the 3.52±0.42 power due to increased x-ray pulse width at lower current. As the current is reduced, the rise time of the x-ray pulse increases and at the lowest current value of 10.4 MA, a shoulder appears on the leading edge of the x-ray pulse. In order to determine the nature of the plasma producing the leading edge of the x-ray pulse at low currents further shots were taken with an on-axis aperture to view on-axis precursor plasma. This aperture appeared to perturb the pinch in a favorable manner such that with the aperture in place there was no leading edge to the x-ray pulses at lower currents and the radiated power scaled as the current squared ±0.75. For a full-current shot we will present x-ray images that show precursor plasma emitting on-axis 77 ns before the main x-ray burst.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 11 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5204 EP - 5211 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - A numerical code based on an eikonal formalism has been developed to simulate laser-plasma interactions, specifically Raman backscatter (RBS). In this code, the dominant laser modes are described by their wave envelopes, avoiding the need to resolve the laser frequency; appropriately time-averaged equations describe particle motion. The code is fully kinetic, and thus includes critical physics such as particle trapping and Landau damping which are beyond the scope of the commonly used fluid three-wave equations. The dominant forces on the particles are included: the ponderomotive force resulting from the beat wave of the forward and backscattered laser fields and the self-consistent plasma electric field. The code agrees well, in the appropriate regimes, with the results from three-wave equations and particle-in-cell simulations. The effects of plasma temperature on RBS amplification are studied. It is found that increasing the plasma temperature results in modification to particle trapping and the saturation of RBS, even before the onset of Landau damping of the plasma wave. This results in a reduction in the coupling efficiency compared to predictions based on the three-wave equations.

In this paper, the results from a computational study of such a system under drive conditions to be attainable on the National Ignition Facility [E. M. Campbell, Laser Part. Beams 9, 209 (1991)] are presented. Using the multiphysics, adaptive mesh refinement, higher order Godunov Eulerian hydrocode, Raptor [L. H. Howell and J. A. Greenough, J. Comput. Phys. 184, 53 (2003)], the late nonlinear instability evolution for multiple amplitude and phase realizations of a variety of multimode spectral types is considered. Compressibility effects preclude the emergence of a regime of self-similar instability growth independent of the initial conditions by allowing for memory of the initial conditions to be retained in the mix-width at all times. The loss of transverse spectral information is demonstrated, however, along with the existence of a quasi-self-similar regime over short time intervals. Certain aspects of the initial conditions, including the rms amplitude, are shown to have a strong effect on the time to transition to the quasi-self-similar regime.

The system for axisymmetric equilibria can be expressed using second-order partial differential equations for the stream functions of the generalized vorticities of the electron and ion fluids. It is found that the equilibrium equations are elliptic when the poloidal ion flow speed is less than the sound speed. This property differs markedly from the single-fluid model. The two-fluid result is compared with that for the single-fluid model. It is important to determine if well-confined flowing plasmas satisfy this ellipiticity criterion throughout the plasma. Measurements of plasma poloidal flow velocities in high β plasmas are therefore encouraged.

Based on the analysis of fusion reactivity changes induced by MHD events, the conclusion is drawn that the strong drops of the neutron yield during sawtooth crashes observed in the national spherical torus experiment (NSTX) [M. Ono et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 557 (2000)] are associated with both a particle redistribution inside the plasma and a loss of the beam ions. Mechanisms of the energetic ion transport during sawtooth crashes are analyzed, in particular, with the use of the resonance adiabatic invariant derived in this paper. A numerical simulation of the particle motion during a sawtooth crash in NSTX is done with the code OFSEF (orbit following in the sawtooth electromagnetic field) [Ya. I. Kolesnichenko et al., Nucl. Fusion 40, 1325 (2000)] extended for a better description of the particle precession. It is shown that the motion of toroidally passing particles in NSTX can become stochastic under the influence of a crash. This stochasticity, as well as the motion along the resonance island, leads to the escape of some particles from the plasma.

The appropriate choice of the number of inclusions and the symmetry of a periodicity cell allows us to introduce simple, yet physically relevant models so that effective characteristics of homogenized media can be investigated analytically. For various applied loads and shapes of (polydisperse) inclusions we demonstrate the spatial non-uniformity of geometric configurations corresponding to either lowest dissipation rate (for fluid/solid composites) or to minimal stiffness (for solid/solid composites). In order to find the optimal configurations, we use a unified framework based on asymptotic expansions in terms of inter-inclusion distances. Furthermore, we compare effective transport properties of composite materials containing inclusions with either flat or curved boundaries.

SN - 10663622 AB - Properties of Np(VII, VI, V) in silicate solutions were studied spectrophotometrically. In noncomplexing media, the Np(VII) cation transforms into the anionic species at pH 5.5-7.5. In the presence of carbonate ions, this rearrangement occurs at pH 10-11.5, and in silicate solutions, at pH 10.5-12.0. These data show that Np(VII) cation forms complexes with carbonate and silicate ions, the latter being stronger. From the competitive reactions of Np(VI) complex formation with carbonate and silicate ions, the stability of NpO2SiO3 complex was estimated (log ß = 16.5) using the known stability constant of NpO2(CO3). Complexation of Np(V) with SiOions was not detected by the methods used.

JO - Radiochemistry JF - Radiochemistry Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 46 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 587 EP - 592 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 10663622 AB - The composition and structure of complexes that are formed in the system consisting of chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide (CCD), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and Sr2+ or Ba2+ in a polar diluent, dichloroethane or phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfone, were studied by IR and NMR spectroscopy. In extraction of Sr2+ and Ba2+ with solutions of [H5O·PEG]CCD-, the organic phase contains the ionic associates [M2+·PEG]CCD. The Sr2+ and Ba2+ complexes have similar composition and structure: The oxygen atoms of two OH groups and six COC groups of a PEG molecule fill the first coordination sphere of the metal ions. Also, no more than two water molecules can be coordinated in the second sphere, forming hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen atoms of two OH groups of PEG. The coordination of the OH groups of PEG with the Sr2+ and Ba2+ ions is preferable over the coordination of the COC groups, as follows from the fact that the extraction of Sr2+ and Ba2+ with CCD-PEG mixtures gets worse on replacement of the OH groups of PEG by other substituents. A considerable increase in the efficiency of Sr2+ and Ba2+ extraction with H-CCD solutions in the presence of PEG is due to the fact that all the H2O molecules in the first coordination spheres of the M2+ ions are replaced by the COC and OH groups of PEG with the formation of a hydrophobic complex [M2+·PEG](H2O)2.

The purpose of the methodology is to support effective decision making to combat terrorism. The emphasis is on terrorist attacks that could have catastrophic consequences. The perspective taken is that in order to make the right decisions about combating terrorism, their needs to be a systematic means of assessing the likelihood of such attacks. A process of implementation of the decisions resulting from risk assessment is essential. That process includes (1) an understanding of the nature of the threat, (2) an information system linked directly to ‘intelligence’ on terrorism, and (3) organizational structures that can take timely, coordinated, and effective actions. There must also be sound evidence that the methodology can be successfully applied. A description of the nature of terrorism, a terrorism risk assessment methodology, information requirements to fight terrorism, and recommendations for successful implementation is what this report is about.

JO - Resources, Conservation & Recycling JF - Resources, Conservation & Recycling Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 42 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 317 EP - 336 SN - 09213449 AB - Black liquor gasification–combined cycle (BLGCC) is a new technology that has the potential to increase electricity production of a chemical pulping mill. Increased electricity generation in combination with the potential to use biomass (e.g. bark, hog fuel) more efficiently can result in increased power output compared to the conventional Tomlinson-boiler. Because the BLGCC enables an integrated pulp and paper mill to produce excess power, it can offset electricity produced by power plants. This may lead to reduction of the net-CO2 emissions. The impact of BLGCC to offset CO2 emissions from the pulp and paper industry is studied. We focus on two different plant designs and compare the situation in Sweden and the US. The CO2 emissions are studied as function of the share of recycled fibre used to make the paper. The study shows that under specific conditions the production of “CO2-free paper” is possible. First, energy efficiency in pulp and paper mills needs to be improved to allow the export of sufficient power to offset emissions from fossil fuels used in boilers and other equipment. Secondly, the net-CO2 emission per ton of paper depends strongly on the emission reduction credits for electricity export, and hence on the country or grid to which the paper mill is connected. Thirdly, supplemental use of biomass to replace fossil fuel inputs is important to reduce the overall emissions of the pulp and paper industry.

When electricity prices are low, water purchase is the cost effective option. When prices exceed US$ 86/MWh, conservation of electricity and water through installation of high efficiency clothes washers is the most effective option.

The sensor is able to detect vapors from the plastic explosives pentaerythritol tetranitrate and hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine at levels below 10 parts per trillion within few seconds of exposure under ambient conditions. A differential measurement technique has yielded a rugged sensor that is unaffected by vibration and is able to function as a “sniffer.” The microelectromechanical system sensor design allows for the incorporation of hundreds of microcantilevers with suitable coatings in order to achieve sufficient selectivity in the future, and thus could provide an inexpensive, unique platform for the detection of chemical, biological, and explosive materials.

The system involves a solid sample immersed in a liquid pressure medium, both of which have unknown thermal properties. The temperature (T) and P dependance of κl are first determined through the use of a modified 3ω technique. This method uses a conducting wire (Pt, in this work), which is immersed in the pressure medium, as the heater/sensor. In addition to κl, this allows for the accurate determination of the specific heat per volume of the liquid and Pt, (ρC)l and (ρC)Pt, respectively. The information of κl and (ρC)l can then be used to make corrections to measurements of κs, in which the sample is immersed in the pressure medium, and a metal strip acts as the heater/sensor. We present the T and P dependence of κl and (ρC)l for the widely used pressure medium 3M Fluorinert FC77 up to 0.8 GPa. The measurement of κs for a thermoelectric clathrate material, Sr8Ga16Ge30, in FC77 is analyzed in detail, and the refined data achieves an accuracy of 1%. The setup can be modified to measure κ and ρC up to 3.5 GPa.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 75 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 4595 EP - 4605 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - An instrument has been designed and constructed for the simultaneous determination of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) in atmospheric samples. The instrument’s design is based on separation by fast gas chromatography (GC) with a 30 ft capillary column (DB-1) followed by detection by luminol chemiluminescence. The chemiluminescent reaction between NO2 or PAN and luminol takes place at the gas–liquid interface on the surface of a solid support. The chemiluminescent emission at 425 nm is detected with a photon counting module. The instrument is controlled by a 1.8 GHz Notebook computer with a WINDOWS 2000 operating system and a custom software application programmed in LABVIEW. Detection limits are in the low parts per trillion (ppt) with a time resolution of 30 s to 1 min. The instrument was operated during the Mexico City Metropolitan Area/Mexico City Megacity 2003 collaborative air quality study. Results for NO2 from this fast GC method were compared with results from a co-located differential optical absorption spectrometer (DOAS) and a tunable diode laser absorption spectromenter (TDLAS). The results support the application of the new luminol-based instrument for atmospheric measurements.

A biased electrode is used to apply a J×B torque to the plasma. The fast switching electrode power supply allows the electrode voltage to be applied in ∼1 μs, which is much faster than any of the plasma time scales; the electrode current is terminated on a similar time scale at the end of the electrode pulse. A pair of multitipped Mach probes have been designed to measure the plasma flows in a magnetic surface with good spatial and time resolution (Δt>20 μs). The unmagnetized model by Hutchinson is used to analyze the Mach probe data, and radial force balance is found to be well satisfied during electrode bias. These probes allow for measurements of the transient response of the plasma flows and floating potential when the electrode is energized. An example of using the system for the estimation of viscous damping times in HSX is provided.

The interface between the bubbles formed 90 to 350 spherical biconcave microlenses reducing the overall focal length inversely by the number of lenses or bubbles. When compared with CRLs manufactured using other methods, the microbubble lenses have shorter focal lengths with higher transmissions and larger gains for moderate energy x rays (e.g., 7–20 keV). We used beamline 2–3 at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and beamline 5BM-D-DND at the Advanced Photon Source to measure focal lengths between 100–250 mm with lens apertures varying between 97 and 321 μm. Transmission profiles were measured giving, for example, a peak transmission of 46% for a 240 mm focal length CRL at 20 keV. The focal-spot sizes were also measured yielding, for example, a vertical spot size of 1.2 μm resulting from an approximate 20-fold demagnification of the APS 23 μm source size. The measured gains in intensity over that of unfocused beam were between 9 and 26.

The apparatus couples two different interferometers to a 9 Tesla superconducting split coil magnet and is designed to work with various detectors, including thermal bolometers and semiconducting detectors. The optical layout utilizes an intermediate focus while preserving optical f/#’s throughout enabling DC magnetic field measurements of small crystals with polarized light in both Voight and Faraday geometries. A reference channel eliminates errors associated with system drift and facilitates determination of the optical constants. For transparent samples, simultaneous reflection and transmission can be performed.

This device is similar to the instrument studied by the Dartmouth group and functions on the basic principles first described by Smith and Purcell. The electron beam of the SEM is passed over a metal grating and should be capable of producing photons either in the spontaneous emission regime or in the superradiance regime if the electron beam is sufficiently bright. The instrument is capable of being continuously tuned by virtue of the period of the metal grating and the choice of accelerating voltage. The emitted Smith–Purcell photons exit the instrument via a polyethylene window and are detected by an infrared bolometer. Although we have obtained power levels exceeding nanowatts in the spontaneous emission regime, we have thus far not been able to detect a clear example of superradiance.

In this technique, a pinhole aperture is placed between a laser irradiated foil (x-ray source) and an imaging detector. In the present geometry, the x rays that are not transmitted through the pinhole aperture, ablate the pinhole substrate’s surface, and turn it into a flyer plate. The pinhole substrate then breaks apart into shrapnel, and that shrapnel can damage diagnostics inside the target chamber. In this letter, we present a technique on mitigating the debris by using a tilted pinhole.

Among these, the accurate measurement of bending is essential for atomic force microscopy imaging and sensing applications. However, it was found that the bending of certain cantilevers can be coupled with twisting and buckling of the cantilever. In this article, cross talk between bending and twisting modes of microcantilevers of three different designs such as rectangular, triangular, and piezoresistive cantilevers is described. For the experiments, a thermal stress was applied to the rectangular and triangular cantilevers, and a Lorentz force was exerted on the triangular and the piezoresistive cantilevers. While the bending of the rectangular cantilever induced a negligible amount of twisting when heated, the triangular cantilevers showed nonlinear twisting responses during bending. This nonlinear response of the triangular cantilever was attributed to the variations in the spring constants between the two legs. When a Lorentz force was exerted on the triangular cantilevers, coupling of the bending and twisting modes depended on the direction of a magnetic field. For the piezoresistive cantilevers, a Lorentz force induced the in-phase buckling which accompanied both the bending and twisting modes.

These foils have proven to be remarkably robust in surviving the rigors of the launch and space environments and have functioned as required over long mission lifetimes. This study examines the scientific basis of possible failure mechanisms and the actual flight histories of ultrathin carbon foils. In all, we were able to document 138 separate foils used in 17 independent space instruments on 16 different spacecraft with a cumulative functioning flight history of 93 foil-years in space. All of these foils clearly survived their launches, and there is no evidence for any significant degradation over their various flight histories. This successful flight heritage, combined with laboratory data on foil survivability, shows that properly implemented ultrathin carbon foils are a mature and reliable technology for space flight applications.

This instrument is the primary diagnostic for a variety of experiments involving laser-driven shock-wave propagation, including high-pressure equation of state experiments, materials characterization experiments, shock characterization for Rayleigh–Taylor experiments, and shock timing experiments for inertial confinement fusion research. Using a laser probe beam to illuminate a target, the instrument measures shock breakout times at temporal resolutions as low as 20 ps, and spatial resolution ∼4 μm. For velocity measurements the detection limit is <0.1 km/s, and velocities of interfaces, free surfaces, and shock fronts traveling through transparent media can be measured with accuracies ∼1% over the range from 4 km/s to greater than 50 km/s. Quantitative measurements of the optical reflectance of ionizing shock fronts can also be obtained simultaneously with the velocity measurements.

Tests were carried out to 53 GPa using moissanite anvil cells combined with synchrotron radiation and globar as infrared sources. In the region of characteristic phonon absorption of diamond (1900–2300 cm-1), the transmitted signal measured through 4 mm of moissanite single crystals is 5–10 times higher than that obtained with type-II diamond anvils. No significant change of the transmission spectra through the moissanite anvils was observed over the pressure range studied; however, we also present mid infrared absorption spectra of powdered SiC to 43 GPa.

Extruded aluminum 5056 with 15 μm diameter was masked and chemically etched to reduce the radius by ∼20% in selected regions. Characterized by scanning electron microscopy, the modulation in radius is a step function with a ∼10 μm wide conical transition between thick and thin segments, with some pitting in etched regions. Techniques for mounting and aligning these wires in arrays for fast z-pinch experiments will be discussed. Axially mass-modulated wire arrays of this type will allow the study of seeded Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in z pinches, corona formation, wire initiation with varying current density in the wire core, and correlation of perturbations between adjacent wires. This tool will support magnetohydrodynamics code validation in complex three-dimensional geometries, and perhaps x-ray pulse shaping.

The acoustic information is typically processed sequentially, allowing the sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) to be used as the basis to solve the target identification problem. The SPRT keeps gathering observations only as long as the statistical test has a value between the upper stopping boundary and the lower stopping boundary. When the test goes above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary, the system can make a decision. The desired false alarm error rate and the desired missed detection error rate determine the upper and lower stopping boundaries. We present extensions to the sequential probability ratio test to handle problems of dependence, contamination, and the unknown class. We also present results for using the SPRT for target identification using acoustic information.

A screening risk assessment was conducted to determine if measured concentration of DU-associated radionuclides in site soils exceed radionuclide levels considered protective of biota. While concentrations of individual radionuclides did not exceed acceptable levels, total radionuclide concentrations could result in potentially unacceptable doses to exposed biota. Thus, a receptor-specific assessment was conducted to estimate external and internal radiological doses to vegetation and wildlife known or expected to occur at the sites. Wildlife evaluated included herbivores, omnivores, and top-level predators. Internal dose estimates to wildlife considered exposure via fugitive dust inhalation and soil and food ingestion; root uptake was the primary exposure route evaluated for vegetation. Total doses were compared with acceptable dose levels of 1.0 and 0.1 rad/day for vegetation and wildlife, respectively with potentially unacceptable risks indicated for doses exceeding these levels. All estimated doses were below or approximated acceptable levels, typically by an order of magnitude or more. These results indicate that current levels of DU in soils do not pose unacceptable radiological risk to biota at the sites evaluated.

The Pr0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (PSC) and Gd0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (GSC) cathodes show the best performance on CGO, achieving an area-specific resistance (ASR) between 0.1 and 0.2 Ω·cm2 at 650 °C. However, the desirable operating temperature for CGO is between 500 and 600 °C, where the ASRs remain very high. The cobalt-based materials in contact with the YSZ electrolyte exhibit severe reactions. To prevent these reactions, a dense interlayer of CGO has been added between the YSZ and the cobalt-based cathodes. The results for the PSC and GSC cathodes on the YSZ electrolyte protected by a CGO layer reveal ASR values between 0.1 and 0.2 Ω·cm2 at 750 °C and 0.3 Ω·cm2 at 700 °C. Long-term testing of both PSC and GSC cathodes on YSZ electrolytes with CGO interlayers showed stable ASR values for 500 h at 800 °C. Thermal cycling between room temperature and 800 °C after long-term testing showed minimal degradation.

The generic formulation was La1−xSrxCu1−yFeyO3 (LSCuF) where x ranged from 0.2 to 0.3 and y varied from 0 to 0.4. Doping with copper improved the electrocatalytic activity compared with undoped material. In oxygen, the La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.2Fe0.8O3 sample showed current densities approximately 2–3 times that of La0.7Sr0.3FeO3 and 10 times that of La0.8Sr0.2FeO3. This improvement was confirmed with cyclic voltammetric studies on half cells and on full fuel cell tests. Copper doped materials have unusual electrochemical characteristics and copper apparently undergoes a one electron reduction at overpotentials less than −0.1 V. This occurred only in air but not in oxygen.

Stacking arrangements (O2, O3, or O2/O3 intergrowths) in the lithiated materials are dependent upon the Na/transition metal ratio in the sodium-containing precursors, the degree of substitution, and the identity of the substituting metal. O3 layered materials deliver up to 200 mA h/g at moderate current densities in lithium cell configurations, but convert rapidly to spinels upon cell cycling, while O2 compounds are more stable but deliver less capacity. Intergrowths show intermediate behavior, with higher capacities than pure O2 materials and better phase stability than O3 compounds. Some intergrowth structures do not appear to convert to spinel during normal cycling, suggesting it may be possible to tailor high energy density, phase stable layered manganese oxide electrodes for lithium batteries.

The combination of new electrode materials, insights from sensor studies equipped with auxiliary reference electrodes, heterogeneous catalysis measurements and theoretical analysis has enabled the development of novel gas sensors at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The substitution of electronic conducting oxides for Pt electrodes has extended the applications of Nernstian-type zirconia oxygen sensors to high temperatures >900 °C and high sulfur environments. Novel sensor geometries that allow for gas diffusion through a porous electrolyte to a dense electrode improve the performance of mixed potential type sensors. We have also developed porous electrolyte potentiometric sensors that detect non-methane hydrocarbon gases in exhaust streams.

This electrochemical sensor consists of a Nafion® electrolyte and Pt- or Ru-based electrodes and works on the principle of differential CO poisoning of the various precious metal electrodes. Varying the composition and loading of the precious metal in the electrode optimized the response of the sensor. A sensor with a working electrode of Pt and a pseudo-reference electrode of Pt–Ru alloy and a precious metal loading of 10 mg/cm2 showed a stable and reproducible response to 10–200 ppm of CO at room temperature and 100–1000 ppm CO at 70 °C.

The target application for the sensor is external deployment near systems using or producing high concentrations of hydrogen. The sensor is composed of a catalytically active metal-oxide sensing electrode and a noble metal reference electrode attached to an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte. The sensing approach is based on the difference in oxidation rate of hydrogen on the different electrode materials. Results will be presented for a sensor using a sensing electrode of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO). Response to H2 and cross-sensitivity to hydrocarbon and H2O are discussed.

Gel polyelectrolytes were obtained by adding 50 wt.% of different 1/1 (wt/wt) mixtures of propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and tetraethyleneglycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME). The highest ambient conductivity was 2.7×10−8 S cm−1 for the dry single ion conductors and 7.9×10−6 S cm−1 for the gel single ion conductor containing 50 wt.% of EC/DMC (1/1, wt/wt), and both are obtained for the sample with an EO/Li ratio of 40/1. The conductivity order of gel electrolytes containing the same amount of different mixed solvents suggests that the conductivity of the gel is more determined by the dielectric constant rather than by the viscosity of the solvent. The preliminary Li/Li cycling profile of a dry single ion conductor is encouraging, as almost no concentration polarization and relaxation was observed. However, some fluctuation of potential occurred, which might be due to the reactions of the electrolyte on the surface of lithium metal.

The effects of fumed silica nanoparticles on the conductivities of the polymer electrolytes at temperatures above and below their melting points were measured and related to their rheology and crystallization behavior, respectively. The electrolyte/electrode interfacial properties and cycling performances of the composite polymer electrolytes in Li/Li cells are also discussed. The measured electrochemical properties were found to depend heavily on the operational environments and sample processing history.

The trimethylene oxide (TMO) units are attached to the side chains of a polyepoxide ether to maximize the segmental motion. Lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt was used to formulate the polymer electrolyte with the new TMO containing polymers. The new polymer electrolytes show improved salt diffusion coefficients (Ds) and conductivity at ambient and subambient temperature compare to the ethylene oxide (EO) counterpart, whereas performance at high temperature (85 °C) remains the same or is actually worse for salt diffusivity.

A 2-M LiBF4 in EC/GBL (3/7 by vol.) electrolyte was used in the fabrication of the pouch cells. The higher concentration of lithium salt increases the carrier ions in the gel polymer electrolyte and contributes to an increased discharge capacity at high currents. The area specific impedance (ASI) of the cell, measured by the FreedomCAR hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) test method, was ca. 50 Ω cm2 on an 18-s discharge pulse at 60% state-of-charge (SOC). This value is somewhat higher than that required for some high-power applications.

The resin consists of 1 wt% 1Et on Amberlite® XAD-7. This resin strongly sorbs Am3+ and Pu4+. The sorption of these ions decreases with increasing nitric acid concentration, but this effect is more pronounced for Am3+. This allows for convenient separation of Am3+ from Pu4+ by simple adjustments in the HNO3 concentration. The tripodal geometry of 1Et disfavors the complexation of UO22+, so sorption of U(VI) by the 1Et-containing resin is weak. An analogous resin containing Cp * Co[P(O)(OPr)2]3−(1Pr) shows similar Pu4+ sorption behavior.

Most of these, in particular those based on 1,2-HOPO, displayed very rapid extraction kinetics and extracted Pu(IV) with large distribution ratios. They were also highly effective in removing Pu(IV) from solutions containing high concentrations of Fe(III) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA). Stripping the bound Pu(IV) from the chelate complex proved challenging, as only∼40% was removed even with concentrated(15.8 M) nitric acid.

JO - Space Science Reviews JF - Space Science Reviews Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 114 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 112 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00386308 AB - The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) will make comprehensive three-dimensional mass-resolved measurements of the full variety of plasma phenomena found in Saturn’s magnetosphere. Our fundamental scientific goals are to understand the nature of saturnian plasmas primarily their sources of ionization, and the means by which they are accelerated, transported, and lost. In so doing the CAPS investigation will contribute to understanding Saturn’s magnetosphere and its complex interactions with Titan, the icy satellites and rings, Saturn’s ionosphere and aurora, and the solar wind. Our design approach meets these goals by emphasizing two complementary types of measurements: high-time resolution velocity distributions of electrons and all major ion species; and lower-time resolution, high-mass resolution spectra of all ion species. The CAPS instrument is made up of three sensors: the Electron Spectrometer (ELS), the Ion Beam Spectrometer (IBS), and the Ion Mass Spectrometer (IMS). The ELS measures the velocity distribution of electrons from 0.6 eV to 28,250 keV, a range that permits coverage of thermal electrons found at Titan and near the ring plane as well as more energetic trapped electrons and auroral particles. The IBS measures ion velocity distributions with very high angular and energy resolution from 1 eV to 49,800 keV. It is specially designed to measure sharply defined ion beams expected in the solar wind at 9.5 AU, highly directional rammed ion fluxes encountered in Titan’s ionosphere, and anticipated field-aligned auroral fluxes. The IMS is designed to measure the composition of hot, diffuse magnetospheric plasmas and low-concentration ion species 1 eV to 50,280 eV with an atomic resolution M/?M ~70 and, for certain molecules, (such asN2+ and CO+), effective resolution as high as ~2500. The three sensors are mounted on a motor-driven actuator that rotates the entire instrument over approximately one-half of the sky every 3 min.

Here, we show that at least one potential GEF, the PDZRhoGEF, is present in smooth muscle, and its isolated DH/PH fragment induces calcium sensitization in the absence of agonist-mediated signaling. In vitro, the fragment shows high selectivity for the RhoA GTPase. Full-length fragment is required for the nucleotide exchange, as the isolated DH domain enhances it only marginally. We crystallized the DH/PH fragment of PDZRhoGEF in complex with nonprenylated human RhoA and determined the structure at 2.5 Å resolution. The refined molecular model reveals that the mutual disposition of the DH and PH domains is significantly different from other previously described complexes involving DH/PH tandems, and that the PH domain interacts with RhoA in a unique mode. The DH domain makes several specific interactions with RhoA residues not conserved among other Rho family members, suggesting the molecular basis for the observed specificity.

In E. coli, PriA, PriB, PriC, and DnaT play critical roles in recognizing repaired replication forks and reloading the replisome onto the template to reinitiate DNA replication. Here, we report the 2.0 Å resolution crystal structure of E. coli PriB, revealing a dimer that consists of a single structural domain formed by two oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding (OB) folds. Structural similarity of PriB to single-stranded DNA binding proteins reveals insights into its mechanisms of DNA binding. The structure further establishes a putative protein interaction surface that may contribute to the role of PriB in primosome assembly by facilitating interactions with PriA and DnaT. This is the first high-resolution structure of a protein involved in oriC-independent replisome loading and provides unique insight into mechanisms of replication restart in E. coli.

This difference could cause deformation or cracking and reduce coating lifetime. The present study has focused on the effect of cycle length (1 h vs. 100 h) on the cyclic oxidation behavior of aluminide coatings on representative commercial ferritic (Fe–9Cr–1Mo) and austenitic (type 304L stainless steel) alloys at 700°C in air with 10 vol.% H2O. The ferritic and austenitic steel specimens were aluminized in a laboratory-scale chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor. Testing of the coating specimens indicated that high frequency thermal cycling (1 h cycle time) could significantly degrade the coating performance. Comparison of these results with those from similar specimens with a longer cycle time (100 h) or after isothermal exposure showed that this degradation was not due to Al loss from the coating into the substrate by interdiffusion, but most likely was caused by the thermal expansion mismatch between the coating and substrate.

Candidate coatings must exhibit chemical and thermal-mechanical stability and high electrical conductivity during long-term (>40,000 h) exposure to SOFC operating conditions. The high-temperature oxidation resistance and surface electrical conductivity of 304, 440A and Crofer-22 APU steel coupons, with and without multilayer and/or superlattice coatings from a Cr–Al–N system, were investigated as a function of exposure in an oxidizing atmosphere at high temperatures. The coatings were deposited using large area filtered arc deposition (LAFAD) technology [V.I. Gorokhovsky, R. Bhattacharya, D.G. Bhat, Surf. Coat. Technol. 140, (2001), 82-92] and subsequently annealed in air at 800 °C for varying times. Area-specific resistance (ASR) was measured in air as a function of time and temperature using a four-point technique with Pt paste for electrical contact between facing oxidized coupon surfaces. The surface composition, structure and morphology of the sample coupons were characterized using RBS, nuclear reaction analysis, XPS, SEM and AFM techniques. The structure of the CrN/(CrN/AlN) multilayered superlattice coatings was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By altering the architecture of the coating layers, both surface electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance [R.J. Smith, C. Tripp, A. Knospe, C.V. Ramana, A. Kayani, Vladimir Gorokhovsky, V. Shutthanandan, D.S. Gelles, J. Mater. Eng., (2004), in press] improved significantly for some of the coated samples tested up to ∼100 h. An order of magnitude decrease in the ASR parabolic growth rate constant was observed in two Crofer 22APU coupons coated with ∼1.5 μm CrN/AlN superlattice coatings with different nanometrical bilayer periods.

With service, the coating composition continues to change due to oxidation and interdiffusion. In order to better understand the effect of coating composition on its oxidation resistance, model alloys are being studied with various levels of Al, Pt and Hf. In hypostoichiometric β-NiAl, the formation of faster-growing Ni-rich oxide was observed, and this problem intensified at lower Al contents. Platinum additions were found to decrease this problem. With two-phase Ni–35Al–6Pt compositions, a phase transformation upon heating to 1100 °C caused macroscopic specimen deformation when the specimen was repeatedly cycled. The degradation of oxidation resistance with lower Al contents indicates that the loss of Al due to back-diffusion into the superalloy substrate is the critical performance-limiting problem for aluminide coatings. One strategy for improved coating performance suggested by Gleeson uses higher Pt and Hf contents and lower Al contents.

In this preliminary study, sputtered Hf–Ni and Hf–Pt were evaluated as potential high-temperature diffusion barrier layers beneath NiAl or NiPtAl coatings.A Ni3Hf-type layer formed during aluminizing of Ni–Hf thin films, and appeared to result in reduced β-NiAl depletion during oxidation testing at 1150 °C. Some Hf-containing simple aluminide coatings also showed very good oxidation resistance. However, the Ni–Hf phase disrupted coating microstructure and displayed limited high-temperature stability. Heat treatment of Hf and Pt thin films formed a compound similar to HfPt3-type, which subsequently dissolved during aluminizing.

This desirable suite of properties is reportedly due to their nonconventional translational symmetry and aperiodic atomic ordering. These materials can be formed only after a high-temperature (>700 °C) anneal, and they exhibit brittle behavior in bulk form. Coating deposition alleviates the low toughness issue, but the requirement for a high-temperature anneal degrades the mechanical properties of conventional engineering substrates. To address this latter issue, controlled laser surface treatment of sputter-deposited QC coatings (on Al, Ti, and bearing steel alloys) was performed to convert the amorphous (a) structure into a crystalline (c) phase. Characterization of both a-QC and c-QC films included energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction for composition/structure, C-Brale indentation for relative toughness, and ball-on-disk (BOD) friction/wear tests. Laser treatment was successful in converting the amorphous structure to the crystalline phase, without significant reduction (<10% for Ti–6Al–4V) in substrate hardness, and it was shown that laser pulse energy influences the final surface finish of the c-QC surface. Laser crystallization was observed to increase the indentation resistance/adhesion of c-QC films on coated Ti–6Al–4V and 52100 steel. Friction/wear tests of c-QC films showed reductions in coefficients of friction, compared to non-coated substrates, of ∼40%, ∼20–25%, and ∼25–30%, respectively, for coated 2024-T3Al, Ti–6Al–4V, and AISI 52100 steel substrates. Reductions in wear damage for c-QC-coated surfaces, compared to non-coated surfaces, were also observed.

T1 - Effects of high-temperature hydrogenation treatment on sliding friction and wear behavior of carbide-derived carbon films JO - Surface & Coatings Technology JF - Surface & Coatings Technology Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 188-189 M3 - Article SP - 588 EP - 593 SN - 02578972 AB - In this study, we investigated the effects of a high-temperature hydrogenation treatment on the sliding friction and wear behavior of nanostructured carbide-derived carbon (CDC) films in dry nitrogen and humid air environments. These films are produced on the surfaces of silicon carbide substrates by reacting the carbide phase with chlorine or chlorine–hydrogen gas mixtures at 1000 to 1100 °C in a sealed tube furnace. The typical friction coefficients of CDC films in open air are in the range of 0.2 to 0.25, but in dry nitrogen, the friction coefficients are 0.15. In an effort to achieve lower friction on CDC films, we developed and used a special hydrogenation process that was proven to be very effective in lowering friction of CDC films produced on SiC substrates. Specifically, the films that were post-hydrogen-treated exhibited friction coefficients as low as 0.03 in dry nitrogen, while the friction coefficients in humid air were ~0.2. The wear of Si3N4 counterface balls was hard to measure after the tests, while shallow wear tracks had formed on CDC films on SiC disks. Detailed mechanical and structural characterizations of the CDC films and sliding contact surfaces were done using a series of analytical techniques and these findings were correlated with the friction and wear behaviors of as-produced and hydrogen-treated CDC films.

These techniques provide real-space data on both substrate and adsorbate surface structure. Adsorption of D on W(100) at 300 K has a strong effect on the azimuthal distribution of Ne+ scattering signal intensity from W, completely suppressing the sharp peaks seen on the clean surface every 90°, which result from Ne+ collisions with exposed second-layer W atoms. Concurrently with D adsorption, D+ recoil emission from the surface is observed with an angular distribution showing broad peaks aligned along the 〈100〉 directions. MARLOWE simulations of Ne+ scattering from the clean W(100) surface and of Ne+ scattering and D+ recoil emission from the saturated W(100) surface are all in good agreement with the LEIS and DRS data when adsorbed D atoms are located in fourfold hollow sites.

The measurements were made with an instrument resolution of 60meV with the sample at 300K, 77K and 10K. The PES data under these experimental conditions strongly support an idealized model with Pu2O3 growth on the metal followed by PuO2 growth on the Pu2O3 layer at low temperature. In vacuum, the PuO2 reduces to Pu2O3 at room temperature at a pressure of 6×10−11Torr. In the case of H2 dosing of the surface at low temperature, the hydrogen appears to penetrate the surface and disrupt the electronic structure of the valence band as evidenced by a drop in intensity of the peak at EF which is not accompanied by a drop in the main 5f manifold at ∼1eV. Studies were also carried out on the dosing of hydrogen on surfaces already dosed with both 0.5L (Pu2O3) and 10L (PuO2) oxygen films and show that hydrogen penetrates the 0.5L Pu2O3 covered surface.

When adsorption is carried out at 250K or above, ring opening of styrene oxide forms a stable surface oxametallacycle intermediate which eventually reacts at 485K to regenerate styrene oxide. High resolution XPS is capable of distinguishing the oxametallacycle from molecularly adsorbed and condensed styrene oxide on the basis of different C1s peak separations. The observed separations are well accounted for by the results of DFT calculations.

Commercially, this is done using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). If the GaAs is grown directly on Ge, pre-deposition etching of the Ge substrate by arsine can roughen the surface, producing poor GaAs/Ge epitaxy. If instead a GaAs/GaInP2/Ge growth sequence is used, the template for growth is a phosphine-exposed P/Ge surface. Indeed, high-quality GaInP2 and GaAs films are routinely grown using this method, yet little is known about the initial P/Ge surface. For this reason, we have conducted a survey of MOCVD-prepared P/Ge(mnn) surfaces, over the 54.75° range of surfaces between (111) and (100). Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images reveal interesting new reconstructions on very flat surfaces. Almost all of the surfaces support ordered defect arrays, presumably to relieve P-induced surface stress.

Only techniques detecting X-ray photons are considered, since they are compatible with strong applied fields to probe relatively deeply into samples. Early soft X-ray scattering studies used the off-specular reflection geometry to resolve magnetic and chemical roughness. Such studies initially used circular incident polarization, and measured off-specular scattering either in or out of the plane of specular reflection.

The analyzed samples were studied before with respect to their molecular mobility, morphology, and crystal and phase structure. The UHMM-PE contains a mobile, oriented mesophase and only few folded chains. The truly amorphous fraction is about 3%. Reversing melting and crystallization is observed for these fibers. It increases in amount on recrystallization after melting. Difficulties in measuring the original fibers arose from the shrinkage of the fibers and a resulting deformation of the sample pan. The new data are compared to literature information on other polyethylenes and linked to reversible melting of decoupled segments of the polymer chains contained in small, nanometer-size phases within the crystalline phase and the oriented-intermediate fractions.

Mechanical properties of corn stover grind such as particle size distribution, bulk and particle densities, compressibility, particle stiffness, wall friction, and adhesion on steel surfaces were determined with two hammer mill screen sizes (3.18 and 6.35 mm) used in grinding at three different moisture contents (7%, 11%, and 15% w.b.). Compression tests were conducted for each combination of hammer mill screen size and moisture content to establish pressure-density data at different applied pressures. Mechanical properties such as compressibility, initial bulk modulus, porosity index, and particle stiffness were determined from the pressure-density data. Shear tests were conducted to determine the coefficient of friction between the steel plate and corn stover grind at different moisture contents and normal pressures.

The range of physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties offered by these films is also exceptional and can meet the increasingly multifunctional application needs of machine elements, microelectronics, and biological systems. Since the early 1990s, carbon has been used as a precursor in our laboratory for the design and synthesis of superhard and low-friction carbon films. As a result of systematic studies over the years, in 1997, we developed a new class of DLC films that provide friction and wear coefficients of 0.001–0.005 and 10-10–10-9 mm3/N m, respectively, in inert-gas or vacuum test environments. This paper will mainly concentrate on the tribology of these superlow-friction carbon films and provide an update on our understanding of the fundamental tribological mechanisms of such films. It will also expand on the effects of hydrogen within the films and gaseous species within the test environments on friction and wear.

HCI surface interaction results in a significant charge residue being left on the surface of insulators and semiconductors. This residual charge causes undesirable aberrations in the microscope images and a reduction of the time-of-flight (T-O-F) mass resolution when studying the surfaces of insulators and semiconductors. The benefits and problems associated with HCI microscopy and recent results of the electron flood gun-enhanced HCI microscope are discussed.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 40 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - In recent years, significant advances have been made in our understanding of the complex flow processes in individual fractures, aided by flow visualization experiments and conceptual modeling efforts. These advances have led to the recognition of several flow regimes in unsaturated individual fractures subjected to different initial and boundary conditions. For an idealized smooth fracture surface the most important regimes are film flow, rivulet flow, and sliding of droplets. The existence of such significantly dissimilar flow regimes has been a major hindrance in the development of self-consistent conceptual models of flow for single fracture surfaces that encompass all the flow regimes. The objective of this study is to delineate the existence of the different flow regimes in individual fracture surfaces. For steady state flow conditions, we developed physical constraints on the different flow regimes that satisfy minimum energy configurations, which enabled us to segregate the wide range of fracture flux (volumetric flow rate per fracture width) into several flow regimes. These are, in increasing order of flow rate, flow of adsorbed films, flow of sliding drops, rivulet flow, stable film flow, and unstable (turbulent) film flow. The scope of this study is limited to wide-aperture smooth fractures with the flow on the opposing sides of fracture being independent.

We randomized the position of the outdoor air control dampers, and measured ventilation rate, differential (indoor minus outdoor) carbon dioxide (ΔCO2) concentration, supply air velocity, temperature, humidity, occupant density, degree of under-staffing, shift length, time of day, and time required to complete two different work performance tasks (talking with clients and post-talk wrap-up to process information).ΔCO2 concentrations ranged from 13 to 611 p.p.m. We used multivariable regression to model the association between the predictors and the responses. We found that agents performed talk tasks fastest when the ventilation rate was highest, but that the relationship between talk performance and ventilation was not strong or monotonic. We did not find a statistically significant association between wrap-up performance and ventilation rate. Agents were slower at the wrap-up task when the temperature was high (> 25.4°C). Agents were slower at wrap-up during long shifts and when the call center was under-staffed. The productivity benefits of ventilation rates that exceed common standards such as ASHRAE Standard 62 may be small (0–2%), and other factors may have a larger impact on productivity. Understaffing and long shifts should be avoided because both showed a negative impact on performance. In this study, high temperature had the largest statistically significant impact on productivity and was caused by occupants fighting over the thermostat setpoint. Care should be taken to avoid high temperatures in call centers. If occupants are allowed to adjust temperature setpoints, then the size and/or duration of the setpoint change should be restricted.

The task ventilation system provided outside air, while another ventilation system provided additional space cooling but no outside air. Test variables included the vertical angle of air supply (−15° to 45° from horizontal), and the supply flow rate of (3.5–6.5 l/s). Using the tracer gas step-up and step-down procedures, the measured air change effectiveness (i.e., exhaust air age divided by age of air in the breathing zone) in experiments with the mannequin ranged from 1.4 to 2.7 (median, 1.8), whereas with human subjects the air change effectiveness ranged from 1.3 to 2.3 (median, 1.6). The majority of the air change effectiveness values with the human subjects were less than values with the mannequin using comparable tests. Similarly, the tests run with supply air temperature equal to the room air temperature had lower air change effectiveness values than comparable tests with the supply air temperature lower (∼5°C) than the room air temperature. The air change effectiveness values are higher than typically reported for commercially-available task ventilation or displacement ventilation systems. Based on surveys completed by the subjects, operation of the task ventilation system did not cause thermal discomfort. With a desk-edge-mounted task ventilation system it is possible to obtain an increase in the effective ventilation rate of 50%. This could lead to reduced energy use. Also, this improvement can be gained while maintaining thermal comfort for occupants. Thus occupants can be thermally comfortable and save energy at the same time.

Indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is an approximate surrogate for concentrations of occupant-generated pollutants and for ventilation rate per occupant. Using the US EPA 100 office-building BASE Study dataset, we conducted multivariate logistic regression analyses to quantify the relationship between indoor CO2 concentrations (dCO2) and mucous membrane (MM) and lower respiratory system (LResp) building related symptoms, adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, presence of carpet in workspace, thermal exposure, relative humidity, and a marker for entrained automobile exhaust. In addition, we tested the hypothesis that certain environmentally mediated health conditions (e.g., allergies and asthma) confer increased susceptibility to building related symptoms. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for statistically significant, dose–dependent associations (P < 0.05) for combined mucous membrane, dry eyes, sore throat, nose/sinus congestion, sneeze, and wheeze symptoms with 100 p.p.m. increases in dCO2 ranged from 1.1 to 1.2. Building occupants with certain environmentally mediated health conditions were more likely to report that they experience building related symptoms than those without these conditions (statistically significant ORs ranged from 1.5 to 11.1,P < 0.05). These results suggest that provision of sufficient per-person outdoor ventilation air, could significantly decrease prevalence of selected building related symptoms. The observed relationship between indoor minus outdoor CO2 concentrations and mucous membrane and lower respiratory symptoms suggests that air contaminants are implicated in the etiology of building related symptoms. Levels of indoor air pollutants that are suspected to cause building related symptoms could be reduced by increasing ventilation rates, improving ventilation effectiveness, or reducing sources of indoor air pollutants, if known.

A laboratory study identified alternate materials with low VOC emissions. Two pairs of RCs then were constructed. One RC per pair contained standard interior materials; the other incorporated alternate materials. The pairs were sited side-by-side at two California elementary schools in fall 2001. Fifteen target VOCs, including the toxicants formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, vinyl acetate, phenol, toluene, and naphthalene, were measured during school hours over 8 weeks in the succeeding fall cooling season. Indoor minus outdoor VOC concentrations with an advanced HVAC operated were low; only formaldehyde concentrations exceeded 5 p.p.b. Classroom VOC concentrations were predicted based on emission factors (µg/m2/h), material quantities and design ventilation rates. These were compared to average adjusted concentrations measured when the occupied classrooms were operating at near the code-minimum ventilation rate. For 16 of the possible 42 comparisons, measured concentrations agreed within a factor of two of predicted the predicted values. Concentrations of six of 10 VOCs were significantly lower in modified RCs though average differences were mostly less than 1 p.p.b. Laboratory-based material testing combined with modeling and field validation to select low VOC-impact interior finish materials helped achieve the aim of providing generally acceptable air quality in new school relocatable classrooms (RCs). The accuracy of the combined process was evidenced by the correct prediction of air quality impacts, though small, due to material VOC emissions when the study RCs were ventilated at code-minimum requirements. The process could be generalized to other manufacturers and classroom types. Material selection also is important to accommodate reduced ventilation rate conditions, which likely occur in many classrooms.

Hydrogen storage in solids has long been recognized as one of the most practical approaches for this purpose. The capacity of existing storage materials is markedly below that needed for vehicular use. Recently Chen et al. [Nature 420 (21) (2002) 302; J. Phys. Chem. B 107 (2003) 10967] reported a lithium nitride/imide system, with a high capacity, 11.5 wt.%, however, its operating temperature and pressure are not satisfactory for vehicular application. In this research a new storage material has been developed, which is from the partial substitution of lithium by magnesium in the nitride/imide system. The plateau pressure of this new Mg-substituted system is about 30 bar and 200 °C with a H capacity of 4.5 wt.% and possibly higher. This is a very promising H-storage material for “on board” storage for vehicular applications.

The membranes of living cells, based exclusively on the lipid bilayer motif, are essentially two-dimensional fluid emulsions. Spatial organization and dynamic rearrangement of proteins and other molecules within the membrane environment is a significant aspect of their biological functionality in vivo. Applications of scanning probe lithography (SPL) to pattern organic and biological molecules on surfaces have experienced rapid growth in recent years. In one common implementation of SPL, the tip is used to remove or modify portions of a first molecular layer, such as alkane thiol or siloxane self-assembled monolayers, from the surface. A challenging aspect of achieving controlled removal of supported membrane by SPL is the self-healing characteristic of membranes in the fluid state.

In particular, the ability for molybdenum-based systems to form very large clusters has been demonstrated by a number of nanosized cluster systems. Therefore the ability to assemble large cluster systems from smaller known building blocks in a predetermined way is a great challenge, as such routes could be direct way to systematically control the overall cluster architecture and properties. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that it is possible to assemble large isopolyoxotungstate-based clusters.

Long-range electron transfer (ET) where the separation of the donor and acceptor greatly exceeds their spatial extent is a subject of considerable interest for studies of ET mechanisms in biological systems and in nanoscale science. Beyond the range of direct donor-acceptor electronic overlap, electron transfer may occur through bridge-mediated superexchange between donor and acceptor electronic states or through an incoherent hopping process between localized electronic states on the bridge. In conclusion, the oligoprolines described here present an example consistent with a smooth transition from a predominantly electron superexchange to a predominantly electron hopping mechanism as the peptide spacer distance increases from 8.7 to 32 A.

Due to the electron deficiency of boron, polyhedral boranes are formed by multicenter 3-center 2-electron bonding, and Wade's rules are often used to explain the bonding in these close-clusters. Beryllium compounds are similarly electron deficient, but polyhedral beryllium clusters are extremely rare. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The low electron count of the core beryllium unit is very important and provides a number of empty oxides that possess beryllium-beryllium delocalized bonding character.

Scattering measurements made to 6 Å resolution coupled with pair distance function (PDF) analyses demonstrated that (1) the porphyrin architectures are not rigid but are distributed across a conformational ensemble with a mean diameter that is 1.5 Å shorter than the diameter of a symmetric, energy-minimized model structure, (2) the conformational envelope has limits of 3 Å positional dispersion and full rotational freedom for all six porphyrin groups, and (3) insertion of the tripyridyl guest molecule expands the diameter of the host conformer by 0.6 Å and decreases the configurational dispersion by approximately 2-fold. These results validate the molecular design, provide a new measure of conformational ensembles in solution that cannot be obtained by other techniques, and establish a structural basis for understanding the photophysical and guest-hosting functions of the hexameric porphyrin architectures in liquids.

To assess these capsules' properties and structure, we deform capsules using microcantilevers and use finite element modeling to describe these deformations. Additional experimental tests confirm the model's validity. These capsules' resilient response to mechanical forces indicates that loading and shear should be good triggers for the release of contents via deformation. The osmotic pressure inflating these capsule has the potential to trigger release of contents via deflation in response to changes in the capsules' environment, we demonstrate addition of salt as a trigger for deflating capsules. Because these capsules have a variety of release triggers available and the technique used to fabricate them is very flexible and allows high encapsulation efficiency, these capsules have very high potential for application in many areas.

The charge density, size, and apparent dynamic hydration number of the ion as well as the mobility of the hydrated ion were found to have critical influences on ion diffusion and water permeation through the polycrystalline zeolite membrane.

JO - Journal of Biological Chemistry JF - Journal of Biological Chemistry Y1 - 2004/11/05/ VL - 279 IS - 45 M3 - Article SP - 46930 EP - 46939 SN - 00219258 AB - The Escherichia coli adenine DNA glycosylase, MutY, plays an important role in the maintenance of genomic stability by catalyzing the removal of adenine opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine or guanine in duplex DNA. Although the x-ray crystal structure of the catalytic domain of MutY revealed a mechanism for catalysis of the glycosyl bond, it appeared that several opportunistically positioned lysine side chains could participate in a secondary β-elimination reaction. In this investigation, it is established via site-directed mutagenesis and the determination of a 1.35-Å structure of MutY in complex with adenine that the abasic site (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity is alternatively regulated by two lysines, Lys142 and Lys20. Analyses of the crystallographic structure also suggest a role for Glu161 in the apurinic/ apyrimidinic lyase chemistry. The β-elimination teaction is structurally and chemically uncoupled from the initial glycosyl bond scission, indicating that this reaction occurs as a consequence of active site plasticity and slow dissociation of the product complex. MutY with either the K142A or K20A mutation still catalyzes β and β-δ elimination reactions, and both mutants can be trapped as covalent enzyme-DNA intermediates by chemical reduction. The trapping was observed to occur both pre- and post-phosphodiester bond scission, establishing that both of these intermediates have significant half-lives. Thus, the final spectrum of DNA products generated reflects the outcome of a delicate balance of closely related equilibrium constants.

Complete and fully reversible exchange occurs, and the rates of the reactions are much faster than in bulk cation exchange processes. A critical size has been identified below which the shapes of complex nanocrystals evolve toward the equilibrium shape with lowest energy during the exchange reaction. Above the critical size, the anion sublattice remains intact and the basic shapes of the initial nanocrystals are retained throughout the cation exchange. The size-dependent shape change can also be used to infer features of the microscopic mechanism.

How this bacterium can grow under chronic y radiation [50 grays (Gy) per hour] or recover from acute doses greater than 10 kGy is unknown. We show that D. radiodurans accumulates very high intracellular manganese and low iron levels compared with radiation-sensitive bacteria and that resistance exhibits a concentration-dependent response to manganous chloride [Mn(II)]. Among the most radiation-resistant bacterial groups reported, Deinococcus, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, and cyanobacteria accumulate Mn(II). In contrast, Shewanetla oneidensis and Pseudomonas putida have high iron but low intracellular manganese concentrations and are very sensitive. We propose that Mn(II) accumulation facilitates recovery from radiation injury.

These, in turn, depend on a network of gene–gene interactions coded within the organismal genome. To see what architectural features of a network (size, connectivity, etc.) affect the likelihood of patterns with multiple cell types (i.e. patterns where cells express ⩾3 different combinations of genes), developmental pattern formation was simulated in virtual blastoderm embryos with small artificial genomes. Several basic properties of these genomic signaling networks, such as the number of genes, the distributions of positive (inductive) and negative (repressive) interactions, and the strengths of gene–gene interactions were tested. The results show that the frequencies of complex and/or stable patterns depended not only on the existence of negative interactions, but also on the distribution of regulatory interactions: for example, coregulation of signals and their intracellular effectors increased the likelihood of pattern formation compared to differential regulation of signaling pathway components. Interestingly, neither quantitative differences in strengths of signaling interactions nor multiple response thresholds to different levels of signal concentration (as in morphogen gradients) were essential for formation of multiple, spatially unique “cell types”. However, those combinations of architectural features that greatly increased the likelihood for pattern complexity tended to decrease the likelihoods for pattern stability and developmental robustness. Nevertheless, elements of complex patterns (e.g. genes, cell type order within the pattern) could differ in their developmental robustness, which may be important for the evolution of complexity. The results show that depending on the network structure, the same set of genes can produce patterns of different complexity, robustness and stability. Because of this, the evolution of metazoan complexity with a combinatorial code of gene regulation may have depended at least as much on selection for favorable distribution of connections between existing developmental regulatory genes as on the simple increase in numbers of regulatory genes.

However, the addition of an appropriate amount of elemental zirconium to the mechanically alloyed powder changes the crystallization behavior inducing the formation of an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase as the first crystallization product. This indicates that for this multicomponent metallic glass quasicrystal formation in the mechanically alloyed powder is crucially linked to the composition rather than to the question whether there is a special quenched-in short-range order.

In contrast to the majority of semiconductor systems, in the studied metal oxide system of Cu2O–SrTiO3(100) the growth process starts without wetting layer formation with the appearance of small (∼10 nm) square-based planar Cu2O nanodots. Continued deposition leads mainly to increase of the nanodot density, practically, without change of their size. Only after reaching some critical density (∼1013 cm-2 for 760 K growth temperature), growth of scattered, significantly larger islands starts through the coalescence of small nanodots. XPS analysis suggests that the interface between small nanodots and substrate is abrupt with only weak Cu–O(SrTiO3) interaction.

Little is known about how cells respond on a molecular level to tissue engineering scaffold materials. In this work we used oligonucleotide microarrays to interrogate gene expression profiles associated with cell–biomaterial interactions. We seeded collagen–glycosaminoglycan meshes, a widely used tissue engineering scaffold material, with human IMR-90 fibroblasts and compared transcript levels with control cells grown on tissue culture polystyrene. Genes involved in cell signaling, extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, angiogenesis and hypoxia were all activated in cells on the collagen–GAG mesh. Understanding the impact of a scaffold on attached cells will facilitate the design of improved tissue engineering materials.

This photon energy excites ArNO as much as 400 cm-1 above the photodissociation threshold, producing Ar + NO(A 2Σ+,v=0,N=0-12). In the first series of experiments, we deduce the population of rotational levels produced in NO(A) during photodissociation of ArNO with resonance enhanced multiphoton spectroscopy (REMPI) through the E-state. The rotational state distributions show anomalous nonstatistical behavior peaking near high N states. This behavior is consistent with the rotational rainbow effects observed by others with the maximum rotational quantum number proportional to the square root of the available energy. In the second experiments, 225 nm photons sequentially dissociate ArNO and then nonresonantly ionize the NO(A) products, which we observe using velocity-mapped ion imaging. The ion images display rings corresponding to the production of different rotational states of NO(A) during dissociation. We measure the appearance threshold for products from dissociation of ArNO to produce NO(A,N=0) as 44291 ± 2 cm-1. Finally, we observe the contribution of hot bands to the rotational state distribution.

As opposed to traditional sequential thermochemistry, ATcT provides reliable, accurate, and internally consistent thermochemistry by utilizing the thermochemical network (TN) approach. This involves, inter alia, a statistical analysis of thermochemically relevant determinations that define the TN, made possible by redundancies in the TN, such as competing measurements and alternate network pathways that interrelate the various chemical species. The statistical analysis produces a self-consistent TN, from which the optimal thermochemical values are obtained by simultaneous solution in error-weighted space, thus allowing optimal use of all of the knowledge present in the TN. ATcT offers a number of additional features that are not present nor possible in the traditional approach. With ATcT, new knowledge can be painlessly propagated through all affected thermochemical values. ATcT also allows hypothesis testing and evaluation, as well as discovery of weak links in the TN. The latter provides pointers to new experimental or theoretical determinations that will most efficiently improve the underlying thermochemical body of knowledge. The ATcT approach is illustrated by providing improved thermochemistry for several key thermochemical species.

We obtain insight into the doping process by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements of the dopant solutions, the dopant plus host solutions from which thin films are spin-coated, and the resulting solid films. After correction for some trace impurities in the solutions, the spin density incorporated into the solid films is linearly proportional to the added dopant density. Nevertheless, the film conductivity increases superlinearly with dopant concentration. Although neither pure dopant nor host aggregate in solution, they aggregate when combined. This is presumably a result of the delocalization of the dopant electron over a number of host molecules. Angle-dependent EPR measurements on thin films suggest that the g-tensor symmetry axis is close to the π-π stacking axis, consistent with relatively delocalized electrons in this crystal direction. Nevertheless, most electrons are not entirely free, but still bound in the vicinity of the dopant cation by Coulomb attraction. At low concentration, dopants appear to segregate primarily to crystallite grain boundaries, while at higher concentration they are incorporated into the bulk of the crystallites. About half of the spins are paired in the solid at room temperature, and more at lower temperature.

The aim of the study was to understand the effects of structural arrangements of sorbed CTA+ ions on the stability and surface properties of SiO2 nanoparticles. The extent of the effect of CTA+ sorption on the aggregation behavior of the SiO2 nanoparticle suspension was investigated with the dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique. Both the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopic techniques were used to probe the sorbed layers of CTA+ on silica surfaces. Results indicate that, at a low surface coverage (less than a monolayer), CTA+ molecules were strongly bound to the SiO2 surface via their trimethylammonium headgroups. A bilayer sorption of CTA+ was observed at a high surface coverage, and the sorption is attributed to the hydrophobic interactions between aliphatic tails of CTA+. Sorption of CTA+ at a low surface coverage also caused the destabilization of the SiO2 nanoparticle dispersion as a result of surface charge neutralization, but redispersion and surface charge reversal of SiO2 colloids occurred at a high surface coverage. The present study thus confirms the adsorption mechanism of the reverse orientation model and contributes to a better understanding of the sorption and structural arrangements of sorbed surfactants at the SiO2 nanoparticle-water interface.

All samples were found to convert entirely or partially into the CalrO3 postperovskite structure, which was recently reported for pure MgSiO3. The incorporation of Fe greatly reduces the pressure needed for the transition and establishes the new phase as the major component of the D" layer. With the liquid core as an unlimited reservoir of iron, core-mantle reactions could further enrich the iron content in this phase and explain the intriguing seismic signatures observed in the D" layer.

Several common and unique accelerator EMI sources will be characterized. The dependencies of source frequency and distance to the source on the optimal choice of grounding and shielding methods will be illustrated.

For bunch lengths in the range of picoseconds, such measurements can be performed by means of a streak camera. Shorter bunches usually require special techniques. In this paper we describe a novel technique that allows obtaining properties of a bunch of charged particles through measurement of the fluctuations of incoherent radiation from the bunch. Due to shot-noise fluctuations in the longitudinal beam density, this incoherent radiation has a spectrum, which consists of random spikes with width inversely proportional to the bunch length. The convolution of the beam current can also be obtained from the radiation spectrum. After the convolution function is found, the phase retrieval technique can be applied to recover the bunch shape. This technique has been used to analyze the shape of the 4-ps-long bunches at the Advanced Photon Source self-amplified spontaneous emission free-electron laser (SASE FEL) experiment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Spectral measurements in closed orbit machines provide accurate values for some properties. But for open-ended systems and some measurements in closed-orbit machines, periodic modulation can be very useful for obtaining information about the beam line. Using examples from existing machines, we compare and contrast beam based modulation techniques and step function or passive measurements. For example, large amplitude dipole modulation in rings can be used in dedicated exploration of nonlinear optical properties without beam degradation, even allowing for tune spread effects. Low-level modulation can provide real-time system monitoring with no adverse effect on beam users. Examples considered include fully resonant dipole modulation in storage rings such as RHIC (hadrons) and PEP-II (electrons), and the continuous low-level modulation used in the CEBAF recirculating electron linac for real-time feedback to improve availability. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This gap is referred to as the “abort gap,” and any particles, which may accumulate in it due to injection errors and diffusion between RF buckets, would be lost inside the ring, rather than in the beam dump, during the kicker firing. In large proton rings, due to the high energies involved, it is vital to monitor the build up of charges in the abort gap with a high sensitivity. We present a study of an abort gap monitor based on a photomultiplier with a gated microchannel plate, which would allow for detecting low charge densities by monitoring the synchrotron radiation emitted. We show results of beam test experiments at the Advanced Light Source using a Hamamatsu 5916U MCP-PMT and compare them to the specifications for the Large Hadron Collider. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This technique, which has been successfully demonstrated at the Advanced Light Source, mixes the synchrotron radiation with the light from a mode-locked solid-state laser oscillator in a non-linear crystal. The up-converted radiation is then detected with a photomultiplier and processed to extract, store, and display the required information. The available choices of laser repetition frequency, pulse width, and phase modulation give a wide range of options for matching the bunch configuration of a particular storage ring. Besides the dynamic measurement of the longitudinal profile of each bunch, the instrument can monitor the evolution of the bunch tails, the presence of un trapped particles, and their diffusion into nominally empty RF buckets (“ghost bunches”). © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The hardware consists of a pre-amplifier connected to a split-plate BPM, an analog differential receiver-filter module and an 8-channel 80-MHz digital down converter VME board. The system produces position and intensity with a dynamic range of 30 dB and a resolution of ±10 microns. The position measurements are made on 2.5-MHz bunched beam and barrier buckets of the un-bunched beam. The digital receiver system operates in one of six different signal processing modes that include 2.5-MHz average, 2.5-MHz bunch-by-bunch, 2.5-MHz narrow band, unbunched average, un-bunched head/tail and 89-kHz narrow band. Receiver data is acquired on any of up to sixteen clock events related to Recycler beam transfers and other machine activities. Data from the digital receiver board are transferred to the front-end CPU for position and intensity computation on an on-demand basis through the VME bus. Data buffers are maintained for each of the acquisition events and support flash, closed orbit and turn-by-turn measurements. A calibration system provides evaluation of the BPM signal path and application programs. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These additions contain eleven Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) that measure the beam’s position throughout the transport. The analog electronics within each processing module determines the beam position using the log-ratio technique. For system reliability, calibrations compensate for various temperature drifts and other imperfections in the processing electronics components. Additionally, verifications are periodically implemented by a PC running a National Instruments LabVIEW virtual instrument (VI) to verify continued system and cable integrity. The VI communicates with the processor cards via a PCI/MXI-3 VXI-crate communication module. Previously, accelerator operators performed BPM system calibrations typically once per day while beam was explicitly turned off. One of this new measurement system’s unique achievements is its automated calibration and verification capability. Taking advantage of the pulsed nature of the LANSCE-facility beams, the integrated electronics hardware and VI perform calibration and verification operations between beam pulses without interrupting production beam delivery. The design, construction, and performance results of the automated calibration and verification portion of this position measurement system will be the topic of this paper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The goals of this test facility are first to demonstrate stable intense CW electron beam with parameters typical for the RHIC e-cooling project (and potentially for eRHIC), second to test novel elements of the ERL (high current CW photo-cathode, superconducting RF cavity with HOM dampers, and feedback systems), and finally to test lattice dependence of stability criteria. Planned diagnostics include position monitors, loss monitors, transverse profile monitors (both optical and wires), scrapers/halo monitors, a high resolution differential current monitor, phase monitors, an energy spread monitor, and a fast transverse monitor (for beam break-up studies and the energy feedback system). We discuss diagnostics challenges that are unique to this project, and present preliminary system specifications. In addition, we include a brief discussion of the timing system. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The energy spread is determined from a 3-size, longitudinal emittance measurement; whereas the energy is derived from time of flight (TOF) analysis. Signals are detected on 50-ohm, stripline beam position monitors (BPMs) terminated in their characteristic impedance. Each BPM is constructed with four striplines: top, bottom, left and right. The ESEM signals are taken from the bottom stripline in four separate BPM locations in the 50-MeV transport line between the linac and the synchrotron. Deterministic linac noise is sampled before and after the 70-microsecond macropulse. The noise phasor is vectorially subtracted from the beam signal. Noise subtraction is required at several frequencies, especially the fundamental and fifth harmonics (200 MHz and 1 GHz). It is also necessary to correct for attenuation and dispersion in the co-axial signal cables. Presently, the analysis assumes a single particle distribution to determine energy and energy spread. Work is on-going to allow for more realistic longitudinal distributions to be included in the analysis. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Since the end of underground testing in 1994, LANL has used non-nuclear experiments and computational models to certify our stockpile. The Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) Facility is the next tool scientists will utilize for stockpile certification. DARHT will soon be capable of producing a three dimensional, time resolved radiographic image of a nuclear weapon pit during implosion. Data from these radiographic images will be used to validate the computational models used to study nuclear weapons. The first axis of DARHT with its single-pulse capability has been in use for about 2 years. Data returned from DARHT’s First axis has been exceptional, producing the highest resolution radiographic image ever for a pit test. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The beam must be steered with 1-mRad angular accuracy toward the Soudan Underground Laboratory in northern Minnesota. We have built 4 arrays of ionization chambers to monitor the neutrino beam direction and quality. The arrays are located at 4 stations downstream of the decay volume, and measure the remnant hadron beam and tertiary muons produced along with neutrinos in meson decays. We review how the monitors will be used to make beam quality measurements, and as well review chamber construction details, radiation damage testing, calibration, and test beam results. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The storage ring monopulse radio frequency (rf) beam position monitor (BPM) was designed to measure single-turn and multi-turn beam positions for operations and machine physics studies. Many of the components used in the original design are obsolete and costly to replace. In this paper we present a proposal to upgrade the monopulse rf BPMs in which the existing system hardware is repartitioned and the aging data acquisition system is replaced. By replacing only the data acquisition system, we will demonstrate a cost-effective approach to improved beam stability, reliability, and enhanced postmortem capabilities. An eight-channel ADC/digitizer VXI board with sampling rate of up to 105 MHz (per channel) and 14-bit resolution coupled with a field-programmable gate array and embedded central processing will provide the flexibility to revitalize this system for another decade of operation. We will discuss the upgrade system specifications, design, and prototype test results. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

As part of our probing of future operation regimes we have run at 130 mA for a user run, and we are on the path to test operations at up to 300 mA. Our most recent experiments have been at 225 mA in December 2003. One sector in the ring is dedicated to diagnosing the electron beam transverse and longitudinal parameters. We use a combination of imaging tools, including an x-ray pinhole camera and optical streak camera for the bending magnet source and x-ray monochromator measurements of divergence on the insertion device source. The onset of longitudinal instabilities due to rf cavity higher-order modes (HOMs) is one of the limitations in going to higher currents. These effects are seen in the horizontal plane of the pinhole camera images since the dipole source is at a dispersive point in the lattice. We observed about a factor of two increase in horizontal beam size and integrated bunch length in the unstable condition. By correlating the size changes with the temperature readouts of the 16 rf cavity cells, we identified the source of the instability. The cavity temperature set points were adjusted to avoid an HOM. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

As part of a collaboration to enhance the luminosity for the FNAL collider RUN II program, the quality of the proton and antiproton beams, as they are transported from the main injector (MI) to the Tevatron, will be characterized using OTR imaging techniques. A prototype detector in air has already successfully acquired OTR images of 120-GeV protons upstream of the antiproton production target. This result demonstrates that (i) the Ti and Al thin foil screens survive the 5 × 1012 proton beam spills, (ii) OTR is sufficient to image lower intensity antiproton beams, and (iii) the images provide two-dimensional information and higher resolution than the present multi-wire profile monitors in the transport lines. Beam bombardment effects on the Al screen and radiation effects on the lenses, filters and cameras have been evaluated for the prototype system for over 1 × 1019 120-GeV protons and will also be presented. An in-vacuum OTR station is being designed for the transport lines with adjustments to the optical components as warranted by the beam characteristics and anticipated radiation environment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Improved electronics have been developed to process the toroid’s signal. The new system generates a calibrated measurement of charge per pulse and is network-enabled to provide remote access to charge, current and other data via EPICS. It is experimentally demonstrated that accurate charge measurements can be made on calibration pulses that contain frequency components well above what is contained in a typical beam pulse. The new electronics consists of a National Instruments (NI) PXI-1002 chassis that contains a PXI-8176 controller, a PXI-5112 100-MS/s digitizer, and a PXI-6602 scalar and digital I/O module. The 8176 runs under the NI Real Time operating system and was programmed to integrate proton pulse waveforms acquired by the 5112 digitizer. For each beam pulse a 50-kHz pulse stream proportional to the pulse charge is generated by the 6602 and this real time information is distributed to all experimental areas. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Cooling of antiprotons requires a round electron beam with a small angular spread propagating through a 20-m long cooling section with a kinetic energy of 4.3 MeV. To confine the electron beam tightly and to keep its transverse angles below 0.1 mrad, the cooling section will be immersed into a solenoidal field of 50–150 G. This paper describes the technique of measuring and adjusting the magnetic field quality in the cooling section and presents preliminary results of beam quality measurements in the cooler prototype. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The dynamic range over the course of the accumulation cycle is 60 dB. As a result of particle energy distribution the 402.5-MHz RF bunching frequency quickly de-coheres during the first few turns. In order to measure first-turn position a dual-mode BPM has been designed to process 402.5-MHz signal energy during the first few turns then switch to a Baseband mode to process de-cohered energy in the low MHz region. The design has been implemented as a dual mother/daughter board PCI architecture. Both Baseband and RF calibration are included on the RF BPM board. A prototype system has been installed in the SNS Linac. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Each module consists of digital I/O ports and 16-bit analog I/O interfaced to instrumentation via a cPCI rear I/O card. During the past few years of installed operation, several factors have prompted investigation into the design of a new IP I/O Module. The ADC channels have significant offset drift over periods of days of initial installed operation. An in-situ calibration procedure was developed to address this problem, but it lacks speed and is inconvenient to perform. Digital I/O port limitations have led to increasing amounts of wasted I/O. Fast orbit feedback requires faster ADC sampling and better filtering than the current IP Module offers. This paper discusses the issues related to the current IP I/O Module and the design of a new Double-size IP I/O Module. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The causes of systematic errors are likely to be instrumental calibration errors rather than variability of atmospheric parameters. We use the MODTRAN 4.0 radiative transfer code to model effects of various calibration errors on the Multi-spectral Thermal Imager (MTI) daytime total water vapour estimate. From the considered sources of calibration errors (spectral band centre error, spectral bandwidth error and radiometric calibration error) the radiometric calibration error has the largest influence on the accuracy of total water vapour estimate. When the radiometric calibration error between 1% and 5% is combined with the estimated spectral band centre error of 1 nm and the bandwidth error of 0.5 nm, the total systematic error of the columnar water vapour estimate is expected to be between 8% and 26%. The accuracy of the retrieved PW using the MTI imagery over the NASA Stennis site and Oklahoma DOE (Department of Energy) ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program) site is about 17%, well within the estimated range due to calibration errors. A similarity between the MTI and the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectral-Radiometer) bands used for water vapour estimate suggests that a similar error analysis may be valid for the MODIS sensor. However, the narrow band instruments (with bandwidth around 10 nm) are much more sensitive to the band centre calibration error.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/11/10/ VL - 126 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 14506 EP - 14514 SN - 00027863 AB - Four new helical oligoproline assemblies containing 16, 17, 18, and 19 proline residues and ordered arrays of a RuII-bipyridyl chromophore and a phenothiazine electron-transfer donor have been synthesized in a modular fashion by solid-phase peptide synthesis. These arrays are illustrated and abbreviated as CH3CO-Pro6-Pra(PTZ)-Pron-Pra(RUIIb2m)2+-Pro6-NH2, where PTZ is 3-(10H-phenothiazine-10)propanoyl and (RuIIIb′2m)2+ is bis(4,4'-diethylamide-2 ,2'-bipyridine) (4-methyl ,4'-carboxylate ,2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(ll) dication with n = 2 (2), 3 (3), 4 (4), and 5 (5). They contain PTZ as an electron-transfer donor and (RuIIb′2m)2+ as a metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) light absorber and are separated by proline-to-proline through-space distances ranging from 0 (n = 2) to 12.9 Å (n = 5) relative to the n = 2 case. They exist in the proline-Il helix form in water, as shown by circular dichroism measurements. Following laser flash RuII → b'2m MLCT excitation at 460 nm in water, excited-state PTZ → Ru2+* quenching (k2) occurs by reductive electron transfer, followed by Ru+ → PTZ+ back electron transfer (k3), as shown by transient absorption and emission measurements in water at 25 °C. Quenching with ΔG° = -0.1 eV is an activated process, while back electron transfer occurs in the inverted region, ΔG° = -1.8 eV, and is activationless, as shown by temperature dependence measurements. Coincidentally, both reactions have comparable distance dependences, with k2 varying from = 1.9 × 109 (n = 2) to 2.2 × 106 s-1 (n =4) and k3 from ∼2.0 × 109 (n = 2) to 2.2 × 106 s-1 (n = 4). For both series there is a rate constant enhancement of ∼10 for n = 5 compared to n = 4 and a linear decrease in In k with the through-space separation distance, pointing to a significant and probably dominant through-space component to intrahelical electron transfer.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/11/10/ VL - 126 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 14620 EP - 14630 SN - 00027863 AB - The standard heterogeneous electron-transfer rate constants (kn0) between substrate gold electrodes and the ferrocene redox couple attached to the electrode surface by variable lengths of substituted or unsubstituted oligophenyleneethynylene (OPE) bridges as constituents of mixed self-assembled monolayers were measured as a function of temperature. The distance dependences of the unsubstituted OPE standard rate constants and of the preexponential factors (A0) obtained from an Arrhenius analysis of the unsubstituted OPE kn0 versus temperature data are not monotonic. This surprising result, together with the distance dependence of the substituted OPE preexponential factors, may be assessed in terms of the likely conformational variability of the OPE bridges (as a result of the low intrinsic barrier to rotation of the phenylene rings in these bridges) and the associated sensitivity of the rate of electron transfer (and, hence, the single-molecule conductance which may be estimated using An) through these bridges to the conformation of the bridge. Additionally, the measured standard rate constants were independent of the identity of the diluent component of the mixed monolayer, and using an unsaturated OPE diluent has no effect on the rate of electron transfer through a long-chain alkanethiol bridge. These observations indicate that the diluent does not participate in the electron-transfer event.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/11/10/ VL - 126 IS - 44 M3 - Article SP - 14651 EP - 14658 SN - 00027863 AB - The structures of a series of beryllium containing complexes have been optimized at the B3LYP/ 6-31G(d) level and their 9Be magnetic shielding values have been determined using B3LYP/6-311G+g- (2d,p) and the gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) method. The calculated chemical shifts are in excellent agreement with experimental values. The performance of a variety of NMR methods (SGO, IGAIM, CSGT) were also examined but were found to be inferior to the GIAO method at the chosen level of theory employed. The theoretical method has been utilized to predict the beryllium chemical shifts of structurally characterized complexes for which no measured 9Be NMR spectrum exists, and to investigate a literature complex with an unusual 9Be NMR chemical shift. A new standard for beryllium NMR in nonaqueous solvents has been suggested.

Finite element modeling at the mesoscale was used to study the hot deformation of microstructures containing cube-oriented grains distributed among grains with S ({1 2 3}〈6 3 4〉) and copper ({1 1 2}〈1 1 1〉) orientations. Discretization of each grain with a large number of elements enables the model to capture the heterogeneous deformation of individual grains. The constitutive response of the material is modeled using crystal plasticity, thereby enabling the prediction of texture evolution in the microstructure. The deformation at elevated temperatures has been modeled by including slip on the non-octahedral {1 1 0}〈1 1 0〉 systems, in addition to the usual {1 1 1}〈1 1 0〉 systems. Microstructures with different grain sizes and some special configurations for the cube grain have been deformed in plane strain compression. The effects of the local environment, grain size and plastic strain on the stability of the cube texture during hot deformation are examined. The inclination of the cube grain boundary relative to the compression axis appears to play a role in the distributions of stored energy and misorientation across the boundary.

The initial UFG stock was produced via equal channel angular pressing. It was found that the initial UFG structure had beneficial influence on the mechanical properties of the cold-rolled Ti rods. Compared with Ti rods with initial CG microstructure, the Ti rods with the initial UFG microstructure have both higher strength and higher ductility after being cold rolled to varying strains. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the Ti rods with the initial UFG microstructure had finer, more homogeneous microstructures after cold rolling. This study demonstrates the merit of UFG Ti processed by ECAP for further shaping and forming into structural components with superior mechanical properties.

The reaction of [Rh(μ-H)(DiPPE)]2 (1) with borane–dimethylsulfide gave several rhodium–boron containing products including the structurally characterized metallaborane [RhH(DiPPE)]2B3H7 (2) [DiPPE=1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane]. Addition of thexylborane and 9-H-BBN dimers, containing alkyl groups, to 1 gave the corresponding mononuclear substituted borohydride complexes Rh(η2-H2BRR′)(DiPPE) (4: R=H, R′=C(CH3)2CH(CH3)2; 5: R,R′=bicyclo-[3.3.1]-nonane [C8H14]). The analogous monodentate phosphine complex Rh(η2-H2BC8H14)(PPri3)2 (6) was isolated and structurally characterized. Addition of catecholborane (HBcat; cat=1,2-O2C6H4) to 1 gave the unusual dinuclear species Rh(DiPPE)(μ-H)2(μ-Bcat)RhH(DiPPE) (7) containing a semi-bridging Bcat group, confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and zwitterionic Rh(η6-catBcat)(DiPPE) (8).

Motivated by the astrophysical importance and lack of direct observation of MRI in nature and in the laboratory, a theoretical stability analysis was performed to predict the required experimental parameters. Despite the long-wavelength nature of MRI, local analysis agrees excellently with global eigenmode calculations when periodic boundary conditions are used in the axial direction. To explore the effects of rigidly rotating vertical boundaries (endcaps), a prototype water experiment was conducted using dimensions and rotation rates favored by the above analysis. Significant deviations from the expected Couette flow profiles were found. The cause of the discrepancy was investigated by nonlinear hydrodynamic simulations using realistic boundary conditions. It was found that Ekman circulation driven by the endcaps transports angular momentum and qualitatively modifies the azimuthal flow. Based on this new understanding, a new design was made to incorporate two independently driven rings at each endcap. Simulations were used to optimize the design by minimizing Ekman circulation while remaining within engineering capabilities. The new apparatus, which has been constructed and assembled, is currently being tested with water and will be ready for the MRI experiment with gallium soon. This development process illustrates the value of interplay between experiment, simulation, and analytic insight. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Real-time characterization of virulence factor expression in Yersinia pestis using a GFP reporter system JO - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications JF - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications Y1 - 2004/11/12/ VL - 324 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 795 EP - 800 SN - 0006291X AB - A real-time reporter system was developed to monitor the thermal induction of virulence factors in Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague. The reporter system consists of a plasmid in Y. pestis in which the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) is under the control of the promoters for six virulence factors, yopE, sycE, yopK, yopT, yscN, and lcrE yopN, which are all components of the Type III secretion virulence mechanism of Y. pestis. Induction of the expression of these genes in vivo was determined by the increase in fluorescence intensity of GFP in real time, in 96-well format. Different basal levels of expression at 26°C were observed for the Y. pestis promoters. Expressed as percentages of the level measured for the lac promoter (positive control), the basal expression levels before temperature shift were: yopE (15%), sycE (15%), yopK (13%), yopT (4%), lcrE (3.3%), and yscN (0.8%). Following the shift in temperature from 26 to 37°C, the rates of expression of these genes increased with the yopE reporter showing the strongest degree of induction. The rates of induction of the other virulence factors after the temperature, expressed as percentages of yopE induction, were: yopK (57%), sycE (9%), yscN (3%), lcrE (3%), and yopT (2%). The thermal induction of each of these promoter fusions was repressed by calcium, and the ratios of the initial rates of thermal induction without calcium supplementation compared to the rate with calcium supplementation were: yopE (11-fold), yscN (7-fold), yopK (6-fold), lcrE (3-fold), yopT (2-fold), and sycE (1-fold). This work demonstrates a novel approach to quantify gene induction and provides a method to rapidly determine the effects of external stimuli on expression of Y. pestis virulence factors in real time, in living cells, as a means to characterize virulence determinants.

Most 3D contact algorithms employed today use node-on-segment approaches for contacting dissimilar meshes. Two pass node-on-segment contact approaches have the well known deficiency of locking due to over-constraint. Furthermore, node-on-segment approaches suffer when individual nodes slide out of contact at contact surface boundaries or when contacting nodes slide from facet to facet. This causes jumps in the contact forces due to the discrete nature of the constraint enforcement and difficulties in convergence for implicit solution techniques.In a previous work [Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., in press], we developed a segment-to-segment contact approach based on the mortar method that was applicable to large deformation mechanics. The approach proved extremely robust since it eliminated the over-constraint which caused “locking” and provided smooth force variations in large sliding. Here, we extend this previous approach in [Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., in press] to treat frictional contact problems. The proposed approach is then applied to several challenging frictional contact problems which demonstrate its effectiveness.

High-resolution state-resolved imaging measurementsof the CO velocity distributions reveal two dissociationpathways. The first proceeds through a well-establishedtransition state to produce rotationally excited CO andvibrationally cold H[sub 2]. The second dissociation pathwayyields rotationally cold CO in conjunction with highlyvibrationally excited H[sub 2]. Quasiclassical trajectorycalculations performed on a global potential energy surface forH[sub 2]CO suggest that this second channel represents anintramolecular hydrogen abstraction mechanism: One hydrogen atomexplores large regions of the potential energy surface beforebonding with the second H atom, bypassing the saddle pointentirely.

An initial hardening reaction within 5 s is reported, which is remarkable in terms of extent and rapidity. This strengthening was caused by the formation of complex multi-component atomic co-clusters containing primarily Ni–Ti–Al as well as some Mn. This cluster strengthened condition produced the optimum toughness observed throughout the ageing sequence. After 60 s ageing, the appearance of discrete precipitation of needle-shaped η-Ni3Ti particles was associated with a second rise in hardness towards an eventual peak at 600 s. This precipitation hardening was accompanied by an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in ductility. A reverse transformation of martensite to austenite occurs progressively during ageing and this contributes to the initial and secondary softening.

The destabilization of GAA/TTC DNA triplexes either by pH or by binding to appropriate ligands was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and positive-ion electrospray mass spectrometry. The triplexes and duplexes were identified by changes in the NMR chemical shifts of H8, H1, H4, 15N7, and 15N4. The lowest pH at which the duplex is detectable depends upon the overall stability and the relative number of Hoogsteen C∘G to T∘A basepairs. A melting pH (pHm) of 7.6 was observed for the destabilization of the (GAA)2T4(TTC)2T4(CTT)2 triplex to the corresponding Watson–Crick duplex and the T4(CTT)2 overhang. The mass spectrometric analyses of (TTC)6•(GAA)6∘(TTC)6 triplex detected ions due to both triplex and single-stranded oligonucleotides under acidic conditions. The triplex ions disappeared completely at alkaline pH. Duplex and single strands were detectable only at neutral and alkaline pH values. Mass spectrometric analyses also showed that minor groove-binding ligands berenil, netropsin, and distamycin and the intercalating ligand acridine orange destabilize the (TTC)6•(GAA)6∘(TTC)6 triplex. These NMR and mass spectrometric methods may function as screening assays for the discovery of agents that destabilize GAA/TTC triplexes and as general methods for the characterization of structure, dynamics, and stability of DNA and DNA–ligand complexes.

These pathways result in formation of stable and depurinating DNA adducts, respectively. Most in vivo animal studies with BP, however, have employed dosage/DNA adduct levels several orders of magnitude higher than the DNA damage level expected from environmentally relevant exposures. Presented are results of experiments in which A/J strain mice were intraperitoneally exposed to 50-μg/g doses of BP. It is shown that non-line-narrowed fluorescence and fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopies possess the selectivity and sensitivity to distinguish between helix-external, base-stacked, and intercalated conformations of DNA–BPDE adducts formed in lung tissue. Concentrations measured by 32P postlabeling 2 and 3 days after intraperitoneal injection were 420–430 and 600–830 amol BPDE-type adducts per μg DNA. The external and base-stacked conformations are attributed mainly to (+)-trans-anti-BPDE-N2dG and the intercalated conformations to (+)-cis-anti adducts. A stable adduct derived from 9-OH-BP-4,5-epoxide was also detected at a concentration about a factor of 10 lower than the above concentrations. The DNA supernatants were analyzed for the presence of depurinating BP-derived adducts by capillary electrophoresis laser-induced fluorescence and high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.

During the quasistatic test to a maximum stress of 435 MPa, a- and c-axes lattice strains increased linearly with a small degree of anisotropy (Ēa/Ēc≅0.9) up to 200 MPa, followed by a significant redistribution of load above 260 MPa due to the plastic anisotropy. Time-resolved in situ measurements were also performed during the creep at 276 and 327 MPa. The results show that lattice strain evolution during the primary creep is qualitatively similar to the quasistatic case under the current test conditions.

By use of the definition of irreversible strain, a formula describing the variation of the critical current with strain was proposed. A relationship between ac loss and tensile strain was developed from Norris' formula and the critical current-strain relation. It is shown that the experimental results agree well with the values calculated from our formulas.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 85 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 4702 EP - 4704 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - We have epitaxially deposited Ba0.6SrO0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films on SiO2/Si substrates using pulsed laser deposition by introducing biaxially oriented ion-beam-assisted-deposited MgO as templates. The structural properties of the BST films were strongly affected by the crystallinity of the templates. The dielectric loss of the BST film was found to decrease as its in-plane texture alignment was improved. As a result, a relatively larger figure of merit K value, defined as tunability/loss, was obtained for the films with better in-plane crystallinity. The K factor ranged between 7.5 and 3.5 when the in-plane alignment of the MgO templates was varied from 5.00 to 10.5°. This work demonstrates that the crystalline quality of the template layers plays a critical role in monolithic integration of BST with SiO2/Si for frequency agile devices.

However, such measurements often happen in nonequilibrium regime, which precludes straightforward extraction of the equilibrium energy information. Here we use the work-averaging method based on Jarzynski equality to reconstruct the equilibrium interaction potential from the unbinding ot a complementary 14-mer DNA duplex from the results of nonequilibrium single-molecule measurements. The reconstructed potential reproduces most of the features of the DNA stretching transition, previously observed only in equilibrium stretching of long DNA sequences. We also compare the reconstructed potential with the thermodynamic parameters of DNA duplex unbinding and show that the reconstruction accurately predicts duplex melting enthalpy.

Morphology and compositional changes of individual particles as they react with nitric acid are observed. Clear differences in the reactivity of mineral dusts from these four different dust regions with nitric acid could be observed. Mineral dust from source regions containing high levels of calcium, such as those found in parts of China and Saudi Arabia, are found to react to the greatest extent. Calcium containing minerals, such as calcite (CaCO3) and dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), react to form nitrate salts whereas other calcium containing minerals such as gypsum (CaSO42H2O) do not react. The importance of particle chemical composition and mineralogy in the heterogeneous chemistry of mineral dust aerosol is definitively borne out in this study of individual dust particles.

Hydrogen production at industrial rates in compact Velocys hardware is made possible through increases in both heat and mass transfer rates for highly active and novel catalysts. In one example, a microchannel methane steam reforming reactor is presented with integrated catalytic partial oxidation of methane prior to catalytic combustion with low excess air (25%) to generate the required energy for endothermic methane steam reforming in adjacent channels. Heat transfer rates from the exothermic reactions exceed of interplanar heat transfer surface area and exceed of total reaction volume for a methane steam reforming contact time near 4ms. The process intensity of the Velocys methane steam reformer well exceeds that of conventional steam reformers, which have a typical volumetric heat flux below . The integration of multiple unit operations and improvements in process intensification result in significant capital and operating cost savings for commercial applications.

Chu, H. Ohmoto, Kinetics of isotope exchange reactions involving intra- and intermolecular reactions: I. Rate law for a system with two chemical compounds and three exchangeable atoms. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 55 1991 1953–1961]. According to the rate law, the isotope exchange reaction is comprised of one overall intramolecular exchange between sulfane (–SH or SH) and sulfonate (–SO3H or SO3H) sulfurs of thiosulfate (i.e., SH⇔SO3H in thiosulfate) and two overall intermolecular exchanges between sulfide and sulfane sulfur of thiosulfate (i.e., H2S⇔SH of thiosulfate) and between sulfide and sulfonate sulfur of thiosulfate (i.e., H2S⇔SO3H of thiosulfate). The rate constants for the three overall exchange reactions and the equilibrium isotopic fractionation factors among sulfide, sulfane, and sulfonate of thiosulfate were estimated by fitting [F. Uyama, H. Chiba, M. Kusakabe, H. Sakai, Sulfur isotope exchange reaction in the aqueous system: thiosulfate–sulfide–sulfate at hydrothermal temperature. Geochem. J. 19 1985 301–315] experimental data on sulfur isotope exchange between aqueous H2S and sodium thiosulfate by the least squares method. At temperatures of 100–170 °C, the equilibrium fractionation factors (in per mil) can be expressed as:and(T in K). At near-neutral pH, the overall rate (m−1 s−1) for the sulfur isotope exchange between H2S and –SO3H of thiosulfate is described by(T in K) with an activation energy of 98.3 kJ/mol at 100–170 °C. A comparison of the rates of sulfur exchanges among H2S, –SH, and –SO3H of thiosulfate with the rates of polysulfide–thiosulfate formation and disproportion reactions determined by [W.F. Giggenbach, Kinetics of the polysulfide–thiosulfate disproportionation up to 240 °C. Inorg. Chem. 13 1974b 1730–1733] suggests that the sulfur isotope exchanges between aqueous sulfide and thiosulfate may proceed via the formation and disproportionation of polysulfides (e.g., S3S2−, S4S2−, etc.):and. The disproportionation reaction of polysulfides appears to control the exchange rate between S2− and S6+ atoms in thiosulfate and is considered the rate-determining step in the sulfate–sulfide exchange reaction rather than the intramolecular exchange of thiosulfate proposed by [H. Ohmoto, A.C. Lasaga, Kinetics of reactions between aqueous sulfates and sulfides in hydrothermal systems. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 46 1982 1727–1745]. Therefore, polysulfides may play an important role in the chemical and isotopic reactions between aqueous sulfide and sulfate under hydrothermal conditions.

Moreover, simplicity of the scheme is also a desirable feature, particularly when an implicit implementation is considered (the focus of this paper). We propose here a finite-volume, cell-centered (non-staggered) scheme for the extended MHD formulation that: (1) is suitable for implicit implementations in arbitrary curvilinear geometries, (2) is conservative, (3) preserves both the magnetic field and the electrical current solenoidal to machine precision, and (4) is linearly and nonlinearly stable in the absence of numerical and physical dissipation. Crucial to the viability of the scheme is the use of a clever interpolation scheme (ZIP [Hirt, J. Comput. Phys. 2 (1968) 339–355]), the proper treatment of boundary conditions in curvilinear geometry, and a novel treatment of geometric source terms in the momentum equation that ensures their exact cancellation in the absence of pressure forces.

We hypothesized that during leaf- out, whole mesocosm Hg0 flux would increase due to movement of Hg0 in the transpiration stream from the soil to the air. This hypothesis was not supported; plants were found to assimilate Hg0 from the contaminated air, and whole system Hg0 emissions were reduced as plants leafed-out due to shading of the soil. Surface disturbance, watering, and increases in soil moisture, light, and temperature were all found to increase whole system Hg0 flux, with light being a more significant factor. Although surface soils were maintained at 15-20% moisture, daily watering caused pulses of Hg0 to be released from the soil throughout the experiment Data developed in this experiment suggested that those processes acting on the soil surface are the primary influence on Hg emissions and that the presence of vegetation, which shields soil surfaces from incident light, reduces Hg emissions from enriched soils.

Colloid transport is frequently invoked to explain migration of radionuclides and metals in the subsurface. To understand colloid formation during interactions between highly reactive fluids and sediments and its impact on contaminant transport, we simulated tank waste solution (TWS) leakage processes in laboratory columns at ambient and elevated (70 °C) temperatures. We found that maximum formation of mobile colloids occurred at the plume fronts (hundreds to thousands times higher than within the plume bodies or during later leaching). Concentrations of suspended solids were as high as 3 mass %, and their particle sizes ranged from tens of nanometers to a few micrometers. Calcium carbonate is always one of the dominant phases of the plume front colloids, while the other phases varied with solution pH and temperature. During infiltration of the leaked high-Nat waste solution, rapid and completed Na+ replacement of exchangeable Ca2+ and Mg2+ from the sediment caused accumulation of these divalent cations at the moving plume front Precipitation of supersaturated Ca2+/Mg2+ bearing minerals caused dramatic pH reduction at the plume front In turn, the reduced pH caused precipitation of other minerals. This understanding can help predict the behavior of contaminant trace elements carried by the tank waste solutions and could not have been obtained through conventional batch studies.

Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) Hanford site. The uranium existed in the sediments as uranyl silicate microprecipitates in fractures, cleavages, and cavities within sediment grains. Uranium dissolution was studied in Na, Na-Ca, and NH4 electrolytes with pH ranging from 7.0 to 9.5 under ambient CO2 pressure. The rate and extent of uranium dissolution was influenced by uranyl mineral solubility, carbonate concentration, and mass transfer rate from intraparticle regions. Dissolved uranium concentration reached constant values within a month in electrolytes below pH 8.2, whereas concentrations continued to rise for over 200 d at pH 9.0 and above. The steady-state concentrations were consistent with the solubility of Na-boltwoodite and/or uranophane, which exhibit similar solubility under the experimental conditions. The uranium dissolution rate increased with increasing carbonate concentration, and was initially fast. It decreased with time as solubility equilibrium was attained, or dissolution kinetics or mass transfer rate from intraparticle regions became rate-limiting. Microscopic observations indicated that uranium precipitates were distributed in intragrain microfractures with variable sizes and connectivity to particle surfaces. Laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopic change of the uranyl microprecipitates was negligible during the long-term equilibration, indicating that uranyl speciation was not changed by dissolution. A kinetic model that incorporated mineral dissolution kinetics and grain-scale, fracture-matrix diffusion was developed to describe uranium release rate from the sediment. Model calculations indicated that 50–95% of the precipitated uranium was associated with fractures that were in close contact with the aqueous phase. The remainder of the uranium was deeply imbedded in particle interiors and exhibited effective diffusivities that were over three orders of magnitude lower than those in the fractures.

Site 984A is one of only several sites where closely spaced pore water samples were obtained from the upper 60 meters of the core; the sedimentation rate is high (11–15 cm/ka), hence the sediments in the upper 60 meters are less than 500 ka old. The sediment is clayey silt and composed mostly of detritus derived from Iceland with a significant component of biogenic carbonate (up to 30%). The pore water 234U/238U activity ratios are higher than seawater values, in the range of 1.2 to 1.6, while the bulk sediment 234U/238U activity ratios are close to 1.0. The 234U/238U of the pore water reflects a balance between the mineral dissolution rate and the supply rate of excess 234U to the pore fluid by α-recoil injection of 234Th. The fraction of 238U decays that result in α-recoil injection of 234U to pore fluid is estimated to be 0.10 to 0.20 based on the 234U/238U of insoluble residue fractions. The calculated bulk dissolution rates, in units of g/g/yr are in the range of 4 × 10−7 to 2 × 10−6 yr−1. There is significant down-hole variability in pore water 234U/238U activity ratios (and hence dissolution rates) on a scale of ca. 10 m. The inferred bulk dissolution rate constants are 100 to 104 times slower than laboratory-determined rates, 100 times faster than rates inferred for older sediments based on Sr isotopes, and similar to weathering rates determined for terrestrial soils of similar age. The results of this study suggest that U isotopes can be used to measure in situ dissolution rates in fine-grained clastic materials. The rate estimates for sediments from ODP Site 984 confirm the strong dependence of reactivity on the age of the solid material: the bulk dissolution rate (Rd) of soils and deep-sea sediments can be approximately described by the expression Rd ≈ 0.1 Age−1 for ages spanning 1000 to 5 × 108 yr. The age of the material, which encompasses the grain size, surface area, and other chemical factors that contribute to the rate of dissolution, appears to be a much stronger determinant of dissolution rate than any single physical or chemical property of the system.

We find long-wavelength roughness in the absence of an applied stress that arises solely from the dopant-gradient. With the addition of a compressive stress, the interface roughens further with an enhanced magnitude and a dramatically reduced wavelength. We discuss the experimental results in the context of a simulation that includes our current understanding of stress, dopant-gradient, and interface anisotropy effects. We find a rich interplay between these effects in determining growth morphology evolution, and demonstrate the successes and current limitations of the model.

The shock velocity—particle velocity curve was found to be linear, thus suggesting no changes in phase occurred in the experimental stress range investigated. Comparisons of the calculated hydrodynamic pressures and measured stresses also showed close agreement, with only small differences apparent at the highest stresses. It is believed that this shows Viton B has a low shock-induced shear strength that only becomes significant at high impact stresses. Comparison of the Hugoniots of Viton B, polytetrafluroethylene, and polyvinylidene difluoride shows that the former is slightly steeper. The authors suggest that this is due to the -CF3 side group having a strengthening effect.

The isentropic compression experimental technique uses a rapidly increasing, planar magnetic field to simultaneously subject multiple planar aluminum samples of different thicknesses to a ramped magnetic stress load. This magnetic stress load causes a ramped compression wave to propagate in the aluminum. Motion histories at the rear surface of each aluminum sample are measured through a LiF window using laser velocity interferometry. Backward and forward integration of the one-dimensional equations of motion are used to analyze the data. Imposing the requirement that each motion history comes from the same magnetic stress load is sufficient to determine both the stress load and the stress-strain behavior of the aluminum. Because of shocks that grow in the LiF, the usual VISAR interferometer analysis was modified. The measured compression curve obtained on different aluminum samples for volumetric strains to 46% agrees to within about 2% of peak stress with an isentrope obtained from the often-used Mie-Grüneisen equation of state that was derived from previous Hugoniot data.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 96 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 5756 EP - 5760 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - We present an investigation of oxygen (18O) uptake measurements in 1 μm thick nanocrystalline ceria films grown on single crystal Al2O3(0001) by nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). Oxygen uptake measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 200–600°C at a background 18O pressure of 4.0×10-6 Torr. Average grain size in the as-grown films, synthesized by sol-gel process was ∼3 nm confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction measurements. From the diffusion depth profiles, changes in intensity and slopes in surface and interface regions indicate complex oxygen mobility effects. Oxygen desorption is clearly distinguishable in the film surface region as a result of shift in the oxygen concentration maxima. It is argued that high defect density in nanocrystalline ceria which is associated with nanograin surface combined with intermediate temperature reducing environment triggers multiple processes such as molecular and ionic diffusion, adsorption, desorption, and isotope exchange interactions. The promising nature of NRA is realized as an effective tool to acquire the depth-dependent information from complex reactions existing in nanocrystalline environment.

We have determined the mechanical properties of the surrounding ILD and Cu cap to play a key role in the critical stress change to void nucleation (Δσcrit), which is one of the critical parameters in determining electromigration lifetime or any other void-limited lifetime. Specifically, we found that Δσcrit decreases as the Young’s modulus of the interlevel dielectric decreases, which is the case with low-k materials. In order to compensate for the lower threshold to void nucleation in low-k materials, a stronger emphasis needs to be placed on the quality or adhesion of the Cu/cap interface, which is currently the preferred site for void nucleation, so that interconnects fabricated in low-k materials continue to meet the ever-increasing electromigration reliability requirements. Finally, the methodology developed in this study, which is based on experiment and modeling, can be used to determine Δσcrit, and therefore the critical jL product, for any combination of ILD and Cu-cap materials.

However, the genetic basis and regulatory mechanisms underlying the ability of S. oneidensis to survive and adapt to various environmentally relevant stresses is poorly understood. To define this organism's molecular response to elevated growth temperatures, temporal gene expression profiles were examined in cells subjected to heat stress by using whole-genome DNA microarrays for S. oneidensis. Approximately 15% (n = 711) of the total predicted S. oneidensis genes (n = 4,648) represented on the microarray were significantly up- or downregulated (P < 0.05) over a 25-min period after shift to the heat shock temperature. As expected, the majority of the genes that showed homology to known chaperones and heat shock proteins in other organisms were highly induced. In addition, a number of predicted genes, including those encoding enzymes in glycolysis and the pentose cycle, serine proteases, transcriptional regulators (MerR, LysR, and TetR families), histidine kinases, and hypothetical proteins were induced. Genes encoding membrane proteins were differentially expressed, suggesting that cells possibly alter their membrane composition or structure in response to variations in growth temperature. A substantial number of the genes encoding ribosomal proteins displayed downregulated coexpression patterns in response to heat stress, as did genes encoding prophage and flagellar proteins. Finally, a putative regulatory site with high conservation to the Escherichia coli σ32-binding consensus sequence was identified upstream of a number of heat-inducible genes.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 121 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 9220 EP - 9229 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - We present here three new algorithms (one purely iterative and two DIIS-like [Direct Inversion in the Iteractive Subspace]) to compute maxima of homogeneous functions of orthogonal matrices. These algorithms revolve around the mathematical lemma that, given an invertible matrix A, the function f(U)=Tr(AU) has exactly one local (and global) maximum for U special orthogonal [i.e., UUT=1 and det(U)=1]. This is proved in the Appendix. One application of these algorithms is the computation of localized orbitals, including, for example, Boys and Edmiston-Ruedenberg (ER) orbitals. The Boys orbitals are defined as the set of orthonormal orbitals which, for a given vector space of orbitals, maximize the sum of the distances between orbital centers. The ER orbitals maximize total self-interaction energy. The algorithm presented here computes Boys orbitals roughly as fast as the traditional method (Jacobi sweeps), while, for large systems, it finds ER orbitals potentially much more quickly than traditional Jacobi sweeps. In fact, the required time for convergence of our algorithm scales quadratically in the region of a few hundred basis functions (though cubicly asymptotically), while Jacobi sweeps for the ER orbitals traditionally scale as the number of occupied orbitals to the fifth power. As an example of the utility of the method, we provide below the ER orbitals of nitrated and nitrosated benzene, and we discuss the chemical implications. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The hydrogen flux was proportional to the H2 partial pressure in the retentate raised to an exponent of ∼0.55 for one membrane and ∼0.64 for the other, indicating that the transport of hydrogen through the composite membrane was primarily limited by bulk diffusion. Overall, the hydrogen permeance of these membranes was within a wide range of values previously reported with thin film palladium membranes of comparable thickness. The first membrane exhibited no detectable helium flux at hydrogen partial pressures less than 350kPa for a retentate stream composed of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. H2/He selectivity decreased to values as low as 12, however, at total transmembrane pressure differentials as great as 2800kPa. As the membranes were heated from 623 to 723K under pressures of up to 2800kPa, the permeance of each membrane remained invariant at values of ∼1.5 × 10-4 and ∼2.9 × 10-4mol/(m2sPa0.5), then decreased by ∼35% when the membrane was cooled back to 623K, indicating some degradation of the membranes under the high-pressure testing conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that extremes in the palladium film thickness ranged from about 10–50μm with palladium “fingers” extending into the pore structure anchoring the palladium layer to the support. Although surface characterization could not pinpoint the source of the degradation, intermetallic diffusion could not be ruled out in spite of the presence of the oxide layer.

Their electronic structures were investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional calculations with relativistic effective core potentials. Each dianion was found to be highly stable despite the presence of strong intramolecular Coulomb repulsion, estimated to be about 2 eV for each system. The valence detachment features were all shown to originate from electronic excitations involving oxygen lone-pair type orbitals. Their observed energies were in excellent agreement with the theoretical vertical detachment energies calculated using time-dependent density functional theory. Despite being multiply charged, polyoxometalate oxide clusters can be studied in the gas phase, providing the opportunity for detailed benchmark theoretical studies on the electronic structures of these important transition-metal oxide systems.

The orbitals in which lone or odd electrons most often reside are identified; these orbitals are found by maximizing their probability of (m-fold simultaneous) single occupancy over orbital rotations. The maximum such probability functions as a scalar measure of (multi)radical character. The method is general and applicable to wavefunctions of any form. The radical character, as defined here, obeys strict bounds of zero and unity and has a well-defined meaning. The method has been implemented generally, and it has been tested on simple radical, diradical (biradical), and triradical systems. The results agree with chemical experience for these cases, and in the diradical case, we show that it agrees qualitatively with earlier proposed characterization schemes. Specific implementation for monoradical character requires only two-particle density matrix information, and furthermore, a promising approximation for the diradical analogue can be constructed from quantities that we call the first and second monoradical characters and orbitals. An algebraic connection can be made to a reinterpretation of the widely discussed distribution of total odd electrons.

Phys. Chem. B 1997, 101, 798] Buckingham repulsion-dispersion intermolecular potential originally developed for the nitramine explosive RDX using ab initio crystal prediction methods. A total of 174 crystals whose molecules contain functional groups common to CHNO energetic materials were subjected to this methodology. This database includes acyclic and cyclic nitramines, nitrate esters, nitroaromatics, and nitroaliphatic systems. The results of these investigations have shown that for 148 of the 174 systems studied the predicted crystal structures matched the experimental configurations; 75% of these corresponded to the global energy minimum on the potential energy surface. Root-mean-square percent differences between the predicted and the experimental values for the cell edge lengths and densities are about 2 and 4%, respectively. Root-mean-square deviations of rigid body rotational and translational displacements are 2° and 0.07 Å, respectively. Additionally, these same statistics are applicable to the nitramine, nitroaliphatic, nitroaromatic, and nitrate ester classes, suggesting that this interaction potential is transferable across these classes of compounds. The success rate in predicting crystals with structural parameters and space group symmetries in agreement with experiment indicates that this method and interaction potential are suitable for use in crystal predictions of similar CHNO systems when the molecular configuration is known.

Characteristic vibrational spectra for CO adsorbed on anchored nanoparticles of Pt/C, Pt3Sn/C, Pt3Mo/C, and Pt2Ru3/C are presented. When Au is used as a substrate, CO adsorbed on Au can interfere with bands for CO adsorbed on nanoparticles. By contrast, if GC is used as a substrate, CO adsorbed on nanoparticles are as expected from corresponding spectra obtained from Pt and Pt-bimetallic electrodes.

The layer was not continuous, and although it resulted in low interfacial contact resistance (ICR) and good corrosion resistance under simulated polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathodic conditions; poor corrosion resistance was observed under simulated anodic conditions. Nitridation for 2h at 1100°C resulted in little nitrogen uptake and a tinted surface. Analysis by SEM, XPS, and AES suggested a complex heterogeneous modification of the native passive oxide film by nitrogen rather than the desired microns-thick exclusive Cr-rich nitride layer. Surprisingly, this modification resulted in both good corrosion resistance under simulated cathodic and anodic conditions and low ICR, well over an order of magnitude lower than the untreated alloy. Further, little increase in ICR was observed under passivating polarization conditions. The potential of this phenomenon for PEMFC bipolar plates is discussed.

Application of similar nitridation parameters to an austenitic stainless steel, 349™, however, resulted in a discontinuous mixture of discrete CrN, Cr2N and (Cr,Fe)2N1-x (x = 0–0.5) phase surface particles overlying an exposed γ austenite-based matrix, rather than a continuous nitride surface layer. The interfacial contact resistance of the 349™ was reduced significantly by the nitridation treatment. However, in the simulated PEMFC environments (1M H2SO4 + 2ppm F- solutions at 70°C sparged with either hydrogen or air), very high corrosion currents were observed under both anodic and cathodic conditions. This poor behavior was linked to the lack of continuity of the Cr-rich nitride surface formed on 349™. Issues regarding achieving continuous, protective Cr-nitride surface layers on stainless steel alloys are discussed.

These requirements cannot be met by conventional batteries or through extrapolation of the capabilities of conventional systems. New materials and systems must be developed to meet these stringent future requirements.Nanomaterials offer a new exciting alternative to the standard materials traditionally used for fabrication of batteries. The work described herein, deals with a novel approach to the use of nanomaterials in the electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. We have synthesized and chemically modified carbon nanotubes and subsequently tested these modified nanotubes as electrodes in small lithium batteries. This paper describes electrochemical characterization of the novel electrodes as well as determination of the specific energy of simple one-cell batteries containing these novel electrodes. We have been able to demonstrate a laboratory cell with a specific exceeding 600 Wh/kg and pulse power exceeding 3 kW/kg.

Molten salt thermal batteries are activated by raising their temperature to above the melting point of the salt constituting the electrolyte. One approach that we have considered is to raise the temperature of the molten salt electrolyte to a temperature below the melting point so that the battery does not get activated yet may provide sufficient mobility of the ionic species to be able to obtain some useful ac impedance measurements. This hypothesis was put to the test for two Li(Si)/FeS2 molten salt batteries with two electrolytes of different melting points—a standard LiCl–KCl eutectic that melts at 352°C and a LiBr–KBr–LiCl eutectic with a melting point of 319°C. ac impedance measurements as a function of frequency and temperature below the melting point are presented for single cells and batteries.

JO - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences JF - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 61 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 2657 EP - 2675 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00224928 AB - Research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program has led to significant improvements in longwave radiative transfer modeling over the last decade. These improvements, which have generally come in small incremental changes, were made primarily in the water vapor self- and foreign-broadened continuum and the water vapor absorption line parameters. These changes, when taken as a whole, result in up to a 6 W m-2 improvement in the modeled clear-sky downwelling longwave radiative flux at the surface and significantly better agreement with spectral observations. This paper provides an overview of the history of ARM with regard to clear-sky longwave radiative transfer, and analyzes remaining related uncertainties in the ARM state-of-the-art Line-by-Line Radiative Transfer Model (LBLRTM). A quality measurement experiment (QME) for the downwelling infrared radiance at the ARM Southern Great Plains site has been ongoing since 1994. This experiment has three objectives: 1) to validate and improve the absorption models and spectral line parameters used in line-by-line radiative transfer models, 2) to assess the ability to define the atmospheric state, and 3) to assess the quality of the radiance observations that serve as ground truth for the model. Analysis of data from 1994 to 1997 made significant contributions to optimizing the QME, but is limited by small but significant uncertainties and deficiencies in the atmospheric state and radiance observations. This paper concentrates on the analysis of QME data from 1998 to 2001, wherein the data have been carefully selected to address the uncertainties in the 1994–97 dataset. Analysis of this newer dataset suggests that the representation of self-broadened water vapor continuum absorption is 3%–8% too strong in the 750–1000 cm-1 region. The dataset also provides information on the accuracy of the self- and foreign-broadened continuum absorption in the 1100–1300 cm-1 region. After accounting for these changes, remaining differences in modeled and observed downwelling clear-sky fluxes are less than 1.5 W m-2 over a wide range of atmospheric states.

An experimental setup has been built for the degassing of aluminum using ultrasonic vibration at a frequency of 20 kHz and vibration intensities up to 1500 W. Ultrasonic degassing has been tested in different volumes of aluminum melt for various processing temperatures and durations. The efficiency of degassing is evaluated by a density measurement for reduced pressure samples. Experimental results indicate that a steady-state hydrogen concentration can be obtained within a few minutes of ultrasonic vibration, regardless of the initial hydrogen concentration in the melt. The dynamics of hydrogen evolution as a function of processing time, melt temperature, and initial hydrogen concentration have been investigated. The mechanism of ultrasonic degassing is discussed. It is suggested that ultrasonic vibration can be used to reduce porosity formation in aluminum alloys.

JO - Molecular & Cellular Biology JF - Molecular & Cellular Biology Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 24 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 10058 EP - 10071 SN - 02707306 AB - Cell cycle arrest by FoxO transcription factors involves transcriptional repression of cyclin D, although the exact mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we used the BCR-ABL-expressing cell line BV173 as a model system to investigate the mechanisms whereby FoxO3a regulates cyclin D2 expression. Inhibition of BCR-ABL by STI571 results in down-regulation of cyclin D2 expression, activation of FoxO3a activity, and up-regulation of BCL6 expression. Using reporter gene assays, we demonstrate that STI571, FoxO3a, and BCL6 can repress cyclin D2 transcription through a STAT5/BCL6 site located within the cyclin D2 promoter. We propose that BCR-ABL inhibition leads to FoxO3a activation, which in turn induces the expression of BCL6, culminating in the repression of cyclin D2 transcription through this STAT5/BCL6 site. This process was verified by mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses. We find that conditional activation of FoxO3a leads to accumulation of BCL6 and down-regulation of cyclin D2 at protein and mRNA levels. Furthermore, silencing of FoxO3a and BCL6 in BCR-ABL-expressing cells abolishes STI571-mediated effects on cyclin D2. This report establishes the signaling events whereby BCR-ABL signals are relayed to cyclin D2 to mediate cell cycle progression and defines a potential mechanism by which FoxO proteins regulate cyclin D2 expression.

The three-gluon scatterings are calculated in perturbative QCD and give rise to a new term in a transport equation for gluon distribution. A numerical solution of the transport equation demonstrates gluon momentum isotropy achieved at a time of the order of 0.65 fm/c and can thus be fitted to a thermal distribution with fugacity of 0.065 and temperature of 0.75 GeV. Triple-gluon scatterings lead to a short thermalization time of gluon matter.

Questions we address include vacuum stability and the masses of the various moduli fields, including those associated with flat directions at the breaking scale, and of their fermionic superpartners. The issue of soft supersymmetry-breaking masses in the observable sector presents a particularly serious challenge for this class of models.

Gravitationally unstable and stable flow configurations were explored with the Darcy–Rayleigh number (G) for a number of viscosity ratios (M). Simulations were compared with experimental results for corresponding values of G and M using interfacial width and breakthrough saturation as comparison criteria. Good agreement between the model and experimental results was observed. For gravitationally stable flows, a critical value of G, Gc≈-0.02, was obtained from simulation results compared to an experimental value of Gc≈-0.017 found in the current literature. The transition from gravitationally stable to unstable flow was shown by decreased interfacial stability resulting in dramatically higher values of interfacial width (simulation) and dispersivity (experimental). Breakthrough saturations for gravitationally stable experimental flow configurations differed only a small amount from simulation results when considering the large length-to-width ratios of the experimental cores used for comparison.

This was achieved by secondary oxygenation treatments at temperatures between 250°C and 500°C employing a novel oxygenation scheme. The YBCO-coated conductor was fabricated by the inclined substrate deposition method. Superconducting transition temperature and critical current as function of temperature and magnetic field were determined by a contact-free magnetization technique on a ring sample. It is observed that for temperatures at and below 77K, the maximum critical current is obtained in the most over-doped state where the transition temperature is significantly depressed.

The mechanism for this conductivity enhancement was studied through various chemical and physical characterizations. The PEDOT:PSS film which is soluble in water becomes insoluble after treatment with EG. This strongly suggests an increased interchain interaction among the PEDOT chains. Raman spectroscopy indicates that this increased interchain interaction results from conformational changes of the PEDOT chains, which change from a coil to linear or expanded-coil structure. The increased interchain interaction and conformation changes are further confirmed by the temperature dependence of conductivity and the electron spin resonance (ESR). It is found that EG treatment lowers the energy barrier for charge hopping among the PEDOT chains, lowers the polaron concentration in the PEDOT:PSS film by ∼50%, and increases the electrochemical activity of the PEDOT:PSS film in NaCl aqueous solution by ∼100%. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements show that the surface morphology of the PEDOT:PSS film changes as well after the EG treatment. Conductivity enhancement was also observed when other organic compounds were used, but it was strongly dependent on the chemical structure of the organic compounds, and observed only with organic compound with two or more polar groups. These experimental results support our proposal that the conductivity enhancement is due to the conformational change of the PEDOT chains and the driving force is the interaction between the dipoles of the organic compound and dipoles or charges on the PEDOT chains.

Annealing at 200°C can be utilized to tailor the grain size distribution for improved ductility in combination with good strength. Further annealing at above 250°C, however, induced a transition to brittle behavior due to impurity segregation to grain boundaries concurrent with grain growth.

We describe how neutral antimatter, in the form of antihydrogen, is a natural test bed for tests of CPT and the weak equivalence principle. We go on to describe how cold antihydrogen can be formed by creating, trapping, cooling, and combining antiprotons and positrons at a facility such as the antiproton decelerator at CERN. We finish by describing the recent success in producing low-energy antihydrogen and how future developments are geared toward achieving the above tests and beyond.

The initial application of this screen detected nine distinctive suppressors within a representative human cDNA library. One of these genes was ING4, a potential tumor suppressor gene that maps to human chromosome 12p13. Ectopic expression of ING4 suppressed the loss of contact inhibition elicited by either MYCN or MYC but had no direct effect on cellular proliferation. Pursuing the possibility that ING4 might be a tumor suppressor gene, we found inactivating mutations in ING4 transcripts from various human cancer cell lines. In addition, we used comparative genomic hybridization to detect deletion of the ING4 locus in 10-20% of human breast cancer cell lines and primary breast tumors. Ectopic expression of ING4 attenuated the growth of T47D human breast cancer cells in soft agar. We conclude that ING4 is a strong candidate as a tumor suppressor gene.

Under pressure the interatomic distances undergo a complex, non-monotonic changes which were correlated with the compression of the SiC lattice determined from the Bragg scattering. The results indicate the presence of non-uniform distribution of stresses between the interior and surface shell of the nanograins. The present results lend a strong support to the concept of a core-shell model of nanocrystals.

Many experimental techniques in biology and biophysics, and applications in diagnosis and drug discovery, utilize proteins immobilized on solid substrates. The use of arrays of proteins attached to solid supports is receiving increasing attention as a tool for exploring the function and potential relationships of all the proteins encoded in the genome. Most of the available methods for generating protein arrays rely on nonspecific adsorption of proteins or on the reaction of chemical groups within proteins with surfaces containing reactive groups.

Although 4 decomposed above -30 °C, reactivity studies performed at low temperature indicated it was in equilibrium with the coordinatively unsaturated methylrhenium complex [Cp*(PMe3)2Re(CH3)][OTf] (2). Methylidene complex 4 was found to react with PMe3 to afford [Cp*(PMe3)3Re(CH3)][OTf] (6) and with chloride anion to give Cp*(PMe3)2Re(Me)Cl (7). When BArf anion was added to 4, the thermally stable methylrhenium methylidene complex [Cp*(PMe3)2e Re(CH2)(CH3)][BArf] (8) was isolated upon warming to room temperature. The mechanisms of formation of both 4 and 8 are discussed in detail, including DFT calculations. The novel carbonyl ligated complex Cp*- (CO)2Re(CH3)OTf (12) was prepared, isolated, and found to not undergo migration reactions to form methylidene complexes.

Previous temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectra have shown that the desorption energies of R-3-methylcyclohexanone (R-3-MCHO) on the chiral Cu(643)R and Cu(643)S surfaces are enantiospecific (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 2384). Here, a comparison of the TPD spectra from Cu(111), Cu(221), Cu(533), Cu(653)R&S, and Cu(643)R&S surfaces reveals that the enantiospecific desorption occurs from the chiral kink sites on the Cu(643) surfaces. Titration of the chiral kink sites with I atoms confirms this assignment of desorption features in the TPD spectra. Finally, the enantiospecific difference in the desorption energies of R- and S-3-MCHO has been used as the basis for demonstration of an enantioselective, kinetic separation of racemic 3-MCHO into its purified components during adsorption and desorption on the Cu(643)R&S surfaces.

The shapes of crystals found in biomineral structures such as the skeletons of marine organisms differ dramatically from those of crystals grown in pure solution. The formation of these complex, often hierarchical structures is difficult to reconcile with the simple mechanistic model of crystal growth by step propagation across crystallographic faces. Two decades ago, researchers developed the stereochemical recognition model 2, 5, which holds that these shapes are stabilized through the binding of peptides and proteins to otherwise unstable faces, presumably because the stereochemical match to the crystal lattice lowers their surface energies.

The excitation of the LC resonance in the normal-incidence geometry used in our experiments occurs through the coupling of the electric field of the incident light to the capacitance. The measured optical spectra of the nanofabricated gold structures come very close to the theoretical expectations. Additional numerical simulations show that our structures exhibit a frequency range with negative permeability for a beam configuration in which the magnetic field couples to the LC resonance. Together with an electric response that has negative permittivity, this can lead to materials with a negative index of refraction.

The method uses a nodal-point discretization and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) on Cartesian grids, and the AMR multigrid solver of Almgren. The discrete Laplacian operator at internal boundaries comes from either linear or quadratic (Shortley–Weller) extrapolation, and the two methods are compared. It is shown that either way, solution error is second order in the mesh spacing. Error in the gradient of the solution is first order with linear extrapolation, but second order with Shortley–Weller. Examples are given with comparison with the exact solution. The method is also applied to a heavy-ion fusion accelerator problem, showing the advantage of adaptivity.

The films had an in-plane texture of 2° and out-plane texture of 0.6° and showed a 4-fold symmetry about the -axis, indicating a distortion of the bulk rhombohedral cell to a tetragonal or cubic structure. The LPE films were both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic. The sol–gel films showed a small linear increase of the magnetisation with the applied magnetic field, indicating they possibly had the same antiferromagnetic behaviour as the bulk crystal. The LPE films exhibited a large leakage current, which probably originated from a relatively high level of Fe2+ in the films induced by the high growth temperature. Fe2+ might also account for the origin of the ferromagnetism in LPE films.

In situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) showed that the electrochemical oxidation of the Ru(0001) surface starts at step edges, and proceeds through the formation of randomly distributed RuO2 islands. The nucleation process is instantaneous, as verified by potential step experiments. The oxidation of Ru(0001) in a mixture of O2 (115ppm) and Ar produces a layer of ordered RuO2(110) oxide in the form of rectangular stripes of monolayer height. The growth of these stripes, globally initiated at the step’s edges, is unidirectional, forming a 60° angle to the steps’ direction. The entirely different morphologies of RuO2 grown in electrochemical- and gas-phase oxidation environments probably reflect the difference in the reaction temperature of two processes. In the latter, the elevated temperatures (600–800K) appear to confer mobility on the reaction species that facilitates ordering of the oxide layer.

Films were deposited by dc-magnetron sputtering and characterized by XPS employing sputter-cleaning and angle-resolved detection. Our results indicate that the intrinsic chemical states of boron carbide occur at ∼282.8 and ∼188.6.eV in the C1s and B1s lines, respectively, and that all other observed states are related to contamination due to exposure to ambient conditions. Structural modifications known to occur due to post-deposition annealing could not be observed by XPS, pointing to limitations of this technique.

Here we demonstrate such an identification by comparing simulations with experimental data. Using a dynamic lattice-gas model for the electrosorption of Br on Ag(100), we measure the scan-rate dependence of the separation between positive- and negative-going peaks in cyclic voltammetry and compare simulated and experimental peak separations. By adjusting the Monte Carlo attempt frequency, good agreement between simulated and experimental peak separations is achieved. It is also found that the uniqueness of the determination depends on the relative values of the adsorption/desorption and diffusion free-energy barriers.

The extent of core hybridisation with the O-2p levels is much more pronounced in HgO than in ZnO or CdO and shows an inverse correlation with the atomic binding energy of the shallow core state. Band structure calculations confirm the importance of mixing between Hg-5d and O-2p states in HgO. However, the assumption that direct intra-atomic mixing between Hg-6s and Hg-5d orbitals determines the linear stereochemistry in HgO is shown to be incorrect.

For each sample the ratio of homonuclear (1H–1H) to heteronuclear (13C–1H) dipolar couplings, which is a function of the geometry of the solute molecule, does not change significantly with the scaling of the dipolar couplings due to spinning at different angles. This result implies that the ‘apparent bond angle deviations’ (Δθa), previously calculated from thermotropic liquid crystals, arise from a solvent effect and are not an artifact from scaling the anisotropic interactions.

We test one such approximation, namely separate treatments of d (valence) and s/p (conduction) electrons in transition metal clusters, within a density functional theory (DFT) formalism. Two different basic approaches are considered: (a) an independent‐band approximation, in which the d‐ and s/p‐bands interact only via the ρ‐dependent components of the Kohn–Sham operator; and (b) a more realistic approximation, in which the lowest‐energy d‐ and s/p‐orbitals (separately derived) are allowed to interact through explicit off‐diagonal coupling matrix elements. The results are presented for the energy differences among three structural forms (icosahedral, cuboctahedral, and truncated decahedral) of 13‐atom Ni and Pt clusters. We demonstrate that an explicit decoupling of the d‐ and s/p‐bands does not produce accurate results for the clusters considered, not even for nickel, i.e., the transition metal for which d–s/p mixing should be at its minimum. By contrast, allowing the lowest‐energy orbitals of the two separate bands to interact improves the results considerably, and ensures a fair description of metal–metal bonding. This finding suggests that simplified models that exclude explicit d–s/p coupling should be employed with caution. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We find the absorption in PG 1114+445 to be in two phases, a‘hot’ phase with a log ionization parameter,ξ, of 2.57, and a‘cooler’ phase with; an unresolved transition array (UTA) of M-shell iron is observed in the cooler phase. The absorption in this quasar is similar to that observed in the Seyfert 1 NGC 3783. The absorption in PG 1309+355 consists of a single phase, with. The absorbing gas lies at distances of 1018–1022 cm from the continuum radiation sources in these active galactic nuclei (AGN), which suggests that it could originate in a wind emanating from a molecular torus. We derive distances assuming that these X-ray warm absorbers have the same velocity as the ultraviolet warm absorbers observed in these quasars. The distances to the warm absorbers from the central continuum source scale approximately with the square root of the AGN ionizing luminosity, a result consistent with the warm absorber originating as a torus wind. The kinetic luminosities of these outflowing absorbers represent insignificant fractionsof the energy budgets of the AGN.

We test these assumption using several largeN-body simulations withparticles and box sizes of, which can both resolve the small galactic-size haloes and sample the large-scale fluctuations. We explore the average halo bias relation as a function of halo mass and show that existing fitting formulae overestimate the halo bias by up to 20 per cent in the regime just below the non-linear mass. We propose a new expression that fits our simulations well. We find that the halo bias is nearly constant,, for masses below one-tenth of the non-linear mass. We next explore the relation between the initial and final dark matter in individual Fourier modes and show that there are significant fluctuations in their ratio, ranging from 10 per cent rms atto 50 per cent rms at. We argue that these large fluctuations are caused by perturbative effects beyond the linear theory, which are dominated by long-wavelength modes with large random fluctuations. Similar or larger fluctuations exist between haloes and dark matter and between haloes of different mass. These fluctuations must be included in attempts to determine the relative bias of two populations from their maps, which would otherwise be immune to sampling variance.

The standard Grid software, including most notably the Globus Gatekeeper and Meta Directory Service, provides core tools to insert a site into the Grid and for its low-level monitoring. In practice, large experiments have data and job handling infrastructures that are not governed by the core tools. For example, local job submission is seldom done directly to the batch system, but rather, through an interface that allows for pre-submission steps (such as the decomposition of a job into smaller chunks) or is tightly integrated with a data handling system such as SAM. Likewise, monitoring is seldom done in terms of individual processors or individual jobs, but rather, via cluster-wide aggregated characteristics. In this paper, we present some of the work we have done to abstract the management of the fabric facilities of the FNAL Run II experiments, in order to enable globally distributed computing.

Given the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of grid systems, it is desirable to have in place a configuration monitor. The configuration monitoring tool is built using the Globus toolkit and web services. It consists of an information provider for the Globus MDS, a relational database for keeping track of the current and old configurations, and client interfaces to query and administer the configuration system. The Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI), together with EDG Java Security packages, are used for secure authentication and transparent access to the configuration information across the CMS grid. This work has been prototyped and tested using US-CMS grid resources.

In spite of other existing implementations, this work uniquely allows to create applications which can seamlessly use the ROOT GUI classes as well as the Qt Widgets. The current code can be built from a single ROOT-base package and can be assembled for both Unix and Windows OS. No alteration of either user code or core ROOT code is required. An example application using this approach is also presented.

It offers rapid development of specialized data acquisition, visualization and analysis systems via assembly from vertical and horizontal components. The EMS architecture allows for agile development of systems and promotes reuse of software. The framework supports a visual builder that shows connections between components and lists component properties. The system offers both off-line setup of properties and run-time modifications. Multi-bus architecture allows for independent routing of data, controls, debugs, and exceptions. The architecture, configuration process, and control of applications through scripting are presented.

Each grain is assumed to accommodate the macroscopically imposed deformation such that the power of its plastic deformation is minimized. This minimization may involve the formation of deformation bands. The theory is applied to tension, compression and rolling of fcc aluminium and bcc a-iron polycrystals, and used to predict the macroscopic mechanical response, the polycrystal texture, the orientation of deformation bands, and the misorientations across them. These predictions are compared with experimental observations available in the literature, and good qualitative agreement is found.

The phonon-plasmon mode spectra were fitted with the dielectric constant function based on Drude model that contains contributions from both lattice vibrations and conduction electrons. The carrier concentration is calculated directly from the plasmon frequency, which is obtained from the fitting procedure. An empirical expression for the electron concentration, [n], in InGaAsN/GaAs samples is determined as [n]≈{2.35×1016(ωm-502)}cm-3, where ωm is the peak of the upper frequency branch, L+, of the phonon-plasmon mode measured in unit of cm-1. The phonon-plasmon coupled mode was also investigated in rapid thermally annealed samples.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/11/22/ VL - 85 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 4926 EP - 4928 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectivity and atomic force microscopy have been performed to study the structure of pentacene thin films on oxidized Si substrates from submonolayer to multilayer coverages. The volume of the unit cell in the thin film phase is almost identical to that of the bulk phase, thus the molecular packing efficiency is effectively the same in both phases. The structure forming from the first monolayer remains the same for films at least 190 Å thick. The in-plane structure of the submonolayer islands also remains unchanged within a substrate temperature range of 0=2. The H2+ ion can be photodissociated by absorption of a fifth photon. The resulting H+ or D+ ion images provide information on the vibrational state dependence of the photodissociation angular distribution of the molecular ion. The excited H(n>=2) atoms produced by the neutral dissociation process can also be ionized by the absorption of a fifth photon. The resulting ion images provide insight into the excited state branching ratios and angular distributions of the neutral photodissociation process. While the experimental ion images contain information on both the ionic and neutral processes, these can be separated based on constraints imposed on the fragment translational energies. The angular distribution of the rings in the ion images indicates that the neutral dissociation of molecular hydrogen and its isotopes is quite complex, and involves coupling to both doubly excited electronic states and the dissociation continua of singly excited Rydberg states. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Various adsorption sites on these surfaces are examined in order to identify the most favorable adsorption site for each atomic species. The dependence of surface bonding on adsorbate coverage is also investigated. Adsorption energies and structural information are obtained and compared with existing experimental results for Ni(110) and Ni(111). In addition, activation barriers to CO dissociation have been determined on Ni(111) and Ni(531) by locating the transition states for these processes. Our results indicate that the binding energies of C are comparatively stronger on stepped surfaces than on flat surfaces, and the energy barriers associated with CO dissociation strongly favor reactions occurring near surface steps. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Three quantities were found that had a simple one-to-one relationship with mobility: packing fraction, potential energy density, and the value of the static structure factor at the first peak. The chain center-of-mass mobility as a function of these three quantities could be described equally well by either a Vogel-Fulcher type or a power law equation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

T1 - Electron Photodetachment from Aqueous Anions. 2. Ionic Strength Effect on Geminate Recombination Dynamics and Quantum Yield for Hydrated Electron. JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/11/22/ VL - 108 IS - 47 M3 - Article SP - 10414 EP - 10425 SN - 10895639 AB - In concentrated solutions of NaClO4 and Na2SO4, the quantum yield for free electron generated by detachment from photoexcited anions (such as I-, OH-, ClO4-, and SO32-) linearly decreases by 6-12% per 1 M ionic strength. In 9 M sodium perchlorate solution, this quantum yield decreases by roughly 1 order of magnitude. Ultrafast kinetic studies of 200 nm photon induced electron detachment from Br-, HO-, and SO32- and 228 nm photodetachment from I- suggest that the yield of thermalized, solvated electron does not change in these solutions; rather, the ionic strength effect originates in more efficient recombination of geminate pairs. Within the framework of the recently proposed mean force potential (MFP) model of charge separation dynamics in such photosystems, the observed changes are interpreted as an increase in the short-range attractive potential between the geminate partners. Association of sodium cation(s) with the electron and the parent anion is suggested as the most likely cause for the observed modification of the MFP. Electron thermalization kinetics suggest that the cation associated with the parent anion (by ion pairing and/or ionic atmosphere interaction) is passed to the detached electron in the course of the photoreaction. The precise atomic-level mechanism for the ionic strength effect is presently unclear; any further advance is likely to require the development of an adequate quantum molecular dynamics model.

Analyses of solid-state NMR spectra obtained at 4.70, 11.75, and 19.60 T yielded the following 23Na and 39K NMR parameters: Na[BPh4], |CQ| = 1.24 ± 0.05 MHz, ηQ = 0.0 ± 0.1, δiso = -45.6 ± 0.5 ppm, and Ω = 14 ± 2 ppm; K[BPh4], |CQ| = 1.32 ± 0.05 MHz, ηQ = 0.0 ± 0.1, and δiso = -92 ± 1 ppm. In both Na[BPh4] and K[BPh4], the electric field gradient and chemical shift tensors at the metal site are axially symmetric, in agreement with the crystallographic symmetry. Extensive quantum mechanical calculations were performed for Na[BPh4] and K[BPh4] as well as for a large number of model cation-π systems containing Na+ and K+ ions and common aromatic compounds. Experimental and theoretical studies confirm that a highly shielded environment at the metal cation site is a characteristic feature for cation-π interactions, making it useful as a NMR signature for identifying cation-π interactions in proteins and nucleic acids. In this study, powder X-ray diffraction spectra for Na[BPh4] and K[BPh4] were also reported.

This paper reports on synchrotron X-ray studies of the thermal stability of supported platinum nanoparticles produced by cluster deposition on the naturally oxidized surface of a silicon wafer (SiO2/Si(111)). The temperature region of aggregation was determined by gradually heating the samples up to above 400 °C, and recording two-dimensional in situ X-ray scattering images during the heat treatment. The data analysis reveals an unexpectedly high stability of the supported particles, which preserve their original size up to about 320 °C, at which an abrupt onset of the agglomeration takes place.

High-resolution TEM and Raman spectroscopy on the recovered sample revealed that the carbon nanotubes collapse and result in the formation of a highly compressed carbon form. This carbon form has a c-layer interdistance of 0.21 nm, which is remarkably shorter than that of graphite (0.34 nm). The calculated density is 3.65 g/cm3, slightly greater than that of diamond (3.52 g/cm3). It is suggested that this dense carbon form is a potential superhard material and is likely the significant precursor of the phase transformation of graphite to diamond.

Carbon monoxide gas was observed as the sole product by infrared, and the growth depended linearly on the photolysis laser power. H2O was confirmed as the stoichiometric electron donor. The work identifies CO as the single-photon, 2-electron-transfer product of CO2 at framework Ti centers with H2O acting as an electron donor, which has not been established before. O2 was detected as coproduct by mass spectrometric analysis of the photolysis gas mixture. These results are explained by single UV photon-induced splitting of CO2 by H2O to CO and surface OH radical.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/11/22/ VL - 108 IS - 47 M3 - Article SP - 18284 EP - 18290 SN - 15206106 AB - The surface morphology of the {100} face growth hillock of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) is examined through first-principles calculations and using periodic-bonded-chain (PBC) theory. KDP, or archerite ([K, NH4]H2PO4), is used extensively in industry and is an excellent model for more complicated materials that have considerable ionic and hydrogen bonding as part of their structure. Here, we have calculated the gas-phase detachment energies of KH2PO4 growth units adsorbed to steps oriented normal to the [010] and [001] PBC directions. The detachment energies of growth units adsorbed to the two different terminations of the {010}-facing step are +4.2 and +4.5 eV, and detachment from the {001}-facing step is +3.8 eV. Detachment from the {010}-facing step is more unfavorable, indicating that the adsorbed species will be less labile and the step will advance more quickly than the {001}-facing step. The relative detachment energies are qualitatively consistent with experimentally observed fast and slow step velocities on the {100} growth hillock. Detachment energies of growth units adsorbed subsequently to the {010}-facing step are similar, but detachment of a second growth unit from the {001}-facing step is much more unfavorable, +5.1 eV. The increase in detachment energy indicates that the high rate of detachment of the initial KH2PO4 unit from the {001}-facing step may limit the advance of the step, whereas the second growth unit detaches much more slowly. To explain this behavior, we propose that the first growth unit adsorbed to the {001}-facing step has a higher lability because of the lack of hydrogen bonds to the step edge. This study provides a qualitative picture of how crystal structure may control growth morphology of KDP and emphasizes the importance of anisotropic hydrogen bonding in the system.

The device is based on micro-reservoirs etched into a silicon substrate that contain individual doses of drug. Each dose is released by the electrochemical dissolution of the gold membrane that covers the reservoir. The first in vivo operation of this device was reported in this study. Subcutaneous release was demonstrated in rats using two tracer molecules, fluorescein dye and radiolabeled mannitol, and one radiolabeled chemotherapeutic agent, carmustine (BCNU). BCNU was chosen because of the need to improve the direct delivery of chemotherapy to malignant tumors. The spatial profile of fluorescein dye release from the drug delivery device was evaluated by fluorimetry, the temporal profile of 14C labeled mannitol release was evaluated by liquid scintillation counting, and the temporal profile of 14C labeled BCNU release was evaluated by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Release profiles obtained from injected controls were compared with those from activated devices. The in vivo dye release results showed high concentration of fluorescein in the flank tissue surrounding the devices 1 h after activation. The 14C labeled mannitol released from the drug delivery devices was rapidly cleared (1 day) from the rat urine. In vivo release of 14C labeled BCNU from activated devices showed slightly slower kinetics than the injected and in vitro controls, and the time to reach the steady-state plasma 14C concentration was on the order of 1 h. All these results demonstrated the capability of this drug delivery device to achieve localized delivery of various compounds with well-defined temporal profiles.

Recently, optically active second harmonic generation and sum frequency generation (SFG) have been developed to probe molecular chirality. optically active SFG (OA-SFG) is allowed within the electric dipole approximation, it intrinsically has higher sensitivity than linear optical techniques, such as circulat dichroism (CD), and is capable of yielding rhrnntirnl !neetra from a monolayer of chiral molecules. Knowing OA-SFG responses from amino acids, one can estimate the signal strength of the OA-SFG expected from peptides and proteins since their amide group is isoelectronic with the carboxyl group of amino acids.

The monolayers spontaneously self-organize into the active layer in nanoscale field-effect transistor devices when aluminum oxide is used as the dielectric layer. Angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to probe the core electron binding energies of the atoms present on the surface of the aluminum oxide. The path forward to optimize the electronics is tuning the monolayer structure on the gate dielectric surface, reducing the dielectric thickness, and improving the dielectric quality using high-k dielectrics deposited by atomic layer deposition.

Aligned BaWO4 and BaCrO4 nanorod arrays can be obtained by dissolving the template. Our facile technique, which is analogous to biomineralization, offers a promising and generalized methodology to prepare other types of free-standing ABO4 nanorods and their corresponding nanorod arrays. Extensive characterization of these samples has been performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), Raman spectroscopy, FT-infrared spectroscopy (FT-lR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2004/11/24/ VL - 126 IS - 46 M3 - Article SP - 15287 EP - 15294 SN - 00027863 AB - NMR-based biosensors that utilize laser-polarized xenon offer potential advantages beyond current sensing technologies. These advantages include the capacity to simultaneously detect multiple analytes, the applicability to in vivo spectroscopy and imaging, and the possibility of "remote" amplified detection. Here, we present a detailed NMR characterization of the binding of a biotin-derivatized caged-xenon sensor to avidin. Binding of "functionalized" xenon to avidin leads to a change in the chemical shift of the encapsulated xenon in addition to a broadening of the resonance, both of which serve as NMR markers of ligand-target interaction. A control experiment in which the biotin-binding site of avidin was blocked with native biotin showed no such spectral changes, confirming that only specific binding, rather than nonspecific contact, between avidin and functionalized xenon leads to the effects on the xenon NMIR spectrum. The exchange rate of xenon (between solution and cage) and the xenon spin-lattice relaxation rate were not changed significantly upon binding. We describe two methods for enhancing the signal from functionalized xenon by exploiting the laser-polarized xenon magnetization reservoir. We also show that the xenon chemical shifts are distinct for xenon encapsulated in different diastereomeric cage molecules. This demonstrates the potential for tuning the encapsulated xenon chemical shift, which is a key requirement for being able to multiplex the biosensor.

This composite material was consolidated by either vacuum hot pressing (VHP) or quasi-isostatic forging. The spatial distribution of reinforcement particles in both VHP and forged samples was shown to be almost the same by quantitative characterization with a multi-scale area fraction analysis technique. The tensile properties of all composite samples were tested and the forged materials showed significantly higher strength, while the elastic modulus values of all composite materials were close to the upper bound of theoretical predictions. Neutron diffraction measurements showed that there were high compressive residual stresses in the Al matrix of the forged samples and relatively low Al matrix residual stresses (predominantly compressive) in the VHP samples. By tensile tests and neutron diffraction measurements of the forged samples after annealing, it was shown that the high compressive residual stresses in the Al matrix were relieved and that tensile strength was also reduced to almost the same level as that of the VHP samples. Therefore, it was deduced that increased compressive residual stresses and enhanced dislocation densities in the forged composites raised the tensile strength to higher values than those of the VHP composites.

A metal ring is compressed between the diamond anvils and its inner and outer diameters are measured as a function of the compression. Measured dimensions are then compared to the results of finite element simulations, in which the coefficient of friction is a free parameter. As an example, we apply the method to polycrystalline molybdenum up to a hydrostatic pressure of 6 GPa.

In the metallic state, both the nanocrystals and thin films exhibit a positive, intensity-dependent nonlinear index of refraction. However, the nonlinear effects are relatively larger in the VO2 nanocrystals, which also reveal a saturable nonlinear absorption. When the semiconductor-to-metal phase transition is induced by the laser pulse, VO2 thin films exhibit a negative equivalent nonlinear index of refraction while the nanocrystals exhibit a smaller but still positive index. Both the VO2 nanocrystals and thin films undergo the phase transition within 120 fs.

The Vickers hardness diminishes approximately linearly with the logarithm of the dwell-time. At short dwell-times the hardness increases significantly with decreasing grain size and with decreasing temperature, but the influence of these variables substantially diminishes at longer times. Investigation by transmission electron microscopy shows that rapid grain growth under the indenter most likely is responsible for the strong and long-lasting indentation creep.

In the carbon-doped MgB2 thin films, familiar dendritic flux-jump patterns were observed at low temperature as reported in previous experiments. In the ultrapure MgB2 thin film, however, a remarkably stable flux penetration was observed, clearly showing the classic behavior of the critical state model. Such different behavior indicates that the electron scattering ultimately controls the magnetic stability of the MgB2 films.

Contrary to the general belief that the exchange–spring interface must be ideal and atomically coherent, we thermally process, by annealing or high-temperature deposition, epitaxial Sm–Co/Fe thin-film bilayers to induce interfacial mixing. Synchrotron x-ray scattering and electron microscopy elemental mapping confirm the formation of a graded interface. The thermal processing enhances the nucleation field and the energy product. The hysteresis loop becomes more single-phase-like yet the magnetization remains fully reversible. Model simulations produce demagnetization behaviors similar to experimental observations.

Each device is voltage biased, the applied flux is an integer number of flux quanta, and the current fluctuations are measured with a second dc SQUID. At low frequencies f, there is a component of the power spectrum of the critical current fluctuations given approximately by SIc(f)=CIc2T2/Af, where A is the area of both junctions, and C≈(3.9±0.4)×10-23 m2/K2. For quantum bits based on Josephson junctions, the scaling of SIc(f) with T2 implies that the dephasing time limited by critical current l/f noise should scale as 1/T for temperatures down to at least 0.09 K.

The electronic structure of the individual nanoclusters shows clear effects due to quantum confinement which are lost in the concentrated assemblies of bare particles. When the surface of the individual particles is passivated, they retain their quantum confinement properties also upon assembly. These effects are interpreted in terms of a particle-particle interaction model.

Below a critical applied voltage, a nanotube configuration of vertically aligned tubes with a constant diameter is obtained. Above the critical voltage, a nanocone-type configuration is obtained. The strongly field-dependent transition in morphology is attributed primarily to the plasma etching and decrease in the size of nanotube-nucleating catalyst particles. A two-step control of applied voltage allows a creation of dual-structured nanotube morphology consisting of a broad base nanocone (∼200 nm dia.) with a small diameter nanotube (∼7 nm) vertically emanating from the apex of the nanocone, which may be useful for atomic force microscopy.

With the quantum well sampling the minority-carrier hole density at a single position, the optical emission displayed a two-stage decay. Using a solution to the diffusion equation to self-consistently describe both the optical and electrical recovery data, we estimated values for the hole lifetime (758±44 ns), diffusion length (588±45 nm), and mobility (0.18±0.02 cm2/V s) in GaN grown on sapphire. This low value of the minority-carrier mobility may reflect trap-modulated transport, and the lifetime is suggestive of slow capture and emission processes occurring through deep levels.

In this method, hydrocarbon gases are ionized and focused in an energetic beam onto the surface of a MIS device using an ion gun. This detection scheme is found to be selective to hydrogen-containing compounds, with other species yielding no detectable response. The magnitude of the sensor response is found to be a strong function of the current flux and beam energy. These results suggest that ion implantation in MIS devices may be a useful sensing strategy for detection of various combustible gases.

The dimerization processes are strikingly slow compared to those of typical metal radicals including Re(CO)5 (kd ≈ 109 M-1 s-1). In order to explain such slow reactions, we have performed B3LYP hybrid DFT and fully ab initio RHF and MP2 calculations on several conformations of [Re(bpy)(CO)3]2 (cis, trans, skewed cis, skewed trans) and [Re(CO)5]2 (staggered) and on their constituent monomer radicals and anions. The calculations show that the most stable geometry of [Re(bpy)(CO)3]2 is skewed cis, and the experimental infrared spectrum and photochemical properties of the [Re(bpy)(CO)3]2 dimer are best described by the calculated properties of the skewed cis conformer in which there is no low-lying unoccupied orbital that is predominantly σMM* in character. The Re(bpy)(CO)3(THF) ligand radical is more stable than the 5-coordinate ‘17-electron’ metal radical, Re(bpy)(CO)3, suggesting that the extremely slow dimerization rate most likely arises from the solvent blocking the binding site (i.e., the estimated fraction of the five-coordinate monomer is 1.6 × 10-2). Theoretical results are consistent with our expenmental results that the dimerization process proceeds via the Re centered radical, which is involved in a pre-equilibrium favoring the ligand-centered radical. Furthermore, time- dependent DFT calculations on [Re(bpy)(CO)3]2 and [Re(bpy)(CO)3- identify the origin of UV-vis absorption in THF.

The complexation of the first of these dioxo actinide cations was studied in semi-quantitative fashion in 1:1 MeOH–CH2Cl2. Under these conditions, the detection limit for UO22+ was found to be ca. 5.8ppm by naked eye monitoring and <28ppb by UV–vis spectroscopy. Isoamethyrin does not undergo a color change in the presence of most transition metals or when exposed to Gd(III). Isoamethyrin thus constitutes an attractive alternative to 2,2′(1,8-dihydroxy-3,6-disulfonaphthylene-2,7-bisazo)-bisbenzenarsonic acid (AzIII) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)phenol (BrPADAP), systems currently used as actinide cation sensors.

InP-based materials are well-suited and advantageous for TPV converter applications. Substantial improvements in the quality of lattice-mismatched (LMM) heterostructures have been realized through an enhanced understanding of the relaxation behavior, and associated microstructure, of InAsP compositionally graded layers and GaInAs/InAsP interfaces. Double-heterostructure, GaInAs/InAsP test structures with bandgaps as low as 0.5 eV (1.6% lattice mismatch) have been demonstrated with exceptional low-injection, minority-carrier lifetimes (several μs) and large estimated diffusion lengths — comparable to those for lattice-matched materials. The advances in material quality have contributed to a number of notable TPV device achievements. A record in-cavity efficiency of 23.6% was reported for a 0.6-eV, GaInAs/InAsP monolithic interconnected module. Additionally, 0.52-eV GaInAs/InAsP TPV converters were demonstrated with near-unity internal quantum efficiencies and reverse-saturation current densities nearly equaling the best reported for lattice-matched, 0.52-eV GaInAsSb/GaSb devices. Furthermore, InP-based, 0.74/0.63-eV, monolithic, series-connected, tandem TPV converters are also under development and show promising performance; an in-cavity efficiency of 11% has been reported for preliminary devices. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/11/30/ VL - 738 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 462 EP - 470 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Multi-bandgap, photonic energy conversion is under investigation for nearly every class of photovoltaic materials, with monolithic, series-connected device structures being the preferred mode of implementation. For TPV energy conversion systems, such an approach represents the next wave in TPV converter advancement. In this paper, we focus on a rigorous analysis of series-connected, multi-bandgap, tandem (SCMBT) converter structures according to Kirchhoff’s circuit laws. A general formulation is presented, followed by an application of the general formulation to a typical, semi-realistic model for well-behaved, p-n junction, photovoltaic devices. Using results generated from a computer code written in Visual Basic, we then present example calculations for SCMBT TPV converters with two subcells, for a TPV system utilizing a blackbody radiator operating at 954°C (1750°F). A comparison of the results obtained using the rigorous analysis, with those obtained by using the commonly adopted subcell-photocurrent-matching design rule, is discussed in detail. An output power density increase of ∼ 5% is realized in the solution determined by the rigorous analysis, as compared to that obtained with the subcell-photocurrent-matching rule. Additional interesting, non-intuitive results are also highlighted. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - The effect of landscape structure on community self-organization and critical biodiversity JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2004/11/30/ VL - 179 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 349 EP - 366 SN - 03043800 AB - Critical biodiversity has been defined as the level of species richness at which communities are most susceptible to disturbance, where even small perturbations resulting from the introduction or extinction of a single species may trigger a mass extinction event. Beyond this threshold, it has been hypothesized that ordered communities with well-defined spatial structure will spontaneously form; these ordered communities are predicted to be resilient to small perturbations such that mass extinctions will no longer occur. We adopted a complex systems approach to explore how landscape pattern affected the critical biodiversity threshold (Sc) and the ability of communities to self-organize in heterogeneous random and fractal landscapes representing a gradient of spatial contagion. Communities that evolved in random and clumped fractal (H = 1.0) landscapes attained nearly the same average species richness (random S = 22, fractal S = 20.5), but the range of variation in community species richness was 3× greater in random landscapes (random CV = 66%, fractal CV = 21%). Some communities that formed on random landscapes collapsed completely and never recovered, whereas complete system collapse never occurred on landscapes with a high degree of spatial contagion (clumped fractal). Nevertheless, spatial contagion initially enhanced the susceptibility of communities to mass extinction, and thus the critical biodiversity threshold was higher in landscapes with high spatial contagion (random Sc = 15; clumped fractal Sc = 20). In other words, a greater number of species was ultimately required to buffer communities from the small perturbations that occasionally triggered mass extinctions on these highly ordered landscapes. The likelihood of attaining this critical biodiversity was also affected by landscape structure. Communities on clumped fractal landscapes evolved to (or got stuck at) the critical biodiversity threshold, whereas communities with an intermediate degree of order (H = 0.5) generally evolved beyond this point and attained a high level of species richness. Spatial structure is not a prerequisite for the emergence of community structure, but organized communities are inevitable in highly structured (ordered) landscapes. Order begets order and this order ultimately enhances system stability and the susceptibility of the system to mass extinction.

For dry systems with no moisture the effect of surfaces of nanoparticle fillers is to inhibit the segmental motion and to reduce the lithium ion transport. These effects also occur at the surfaces in composite electrodes that contain considerable quantities of carbon black nanoparticles for electronic connection. The problem of reduced polymer mobility is compounded by the generation of salt concentration gradients within the composite electrode. Highly concentrated polymer electrolytes have reduced transport properties due to the increased ionic cross-linking. Combined with the interfacial interactions this leads to the generation of low mobility electrolyte layers within the electrode and to loss of capacity and power capability. It is shown that even with planar lithium metal electrodes the concentration gradients can significantly impact the interfacial impedance. The interfacial impedance of lithium/PEO–LiTFSI cells varies depending upon the time elapsed since current was turned off after polarization. The behavior is consistent with relaxation of the salt concentration gradients and indicates that a portion of the interfacial impedance usually attributed to the SEI layer is due to concentrated salt solutions next to the electrode surfaces that are very resistive. These resistive layers may undergo actual phase changes in a non-uniform manner and the possible role of the reduced mobility polymer layers in dendrite initiation and growth is also explored. It is concluded that PEO and ethylene oxide-based polymers are less than ideal with respect to this interfacial behavior.

The gel polymer electrolytes were produced by electron-beam irradiation and then soaked in a liquid electrolyte. The natural graphite anode in gel electrolyte containing LiBF4-EC/GBL exhibited high reversible capacity (345mAh/g) and high coulombic efficiency (91%). The LiFePO4 cathode in the same gel-polymer exhibited a reversible capacity of 160mAh/g and 93% coulombic efficiency. Better performance was obtained at high-rate discharge with 6% carbon additive in the cathode, however the graphite anode performance suffers at high rate. The Li-ion gel polymer battery shows a capacity fade of 13% after 180 cycles and has poor performance at low temperature due to low diffusion of the lithium to the graphite in the GBL system. The LiFePO4/gel/Li system has an excellent rate capacity. LiFePO4 cathode material is suitable for HEV application.

Of the CF series, the ν = ⅗ state is weaker than the nearby &frac47; state and the &frac37; state is missing, resembling the observation that the ν = 3 is weaker than the ν = 4 state.

The ratio of the top layer density (ntop) to bottom layer density (nbot) is continuously tuned by applying voltage to a front gate. Under a condition when the top layer is nearly depleted (ntop ∼ 3 × 1010 cm-2) while the bottom layer remains at nbot = 1.9 × 1011 cm-2, the hysteresis is absent in the B sweeps as long as the total Landau level filling v < 1 and the 2D electron systems are in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime. Surprisingly, a large hysteresis is observed during the gate sweeps at the same values of B and ntop. We attribute this unexpected hysteresis to the formation of an insulating state, probably a weakly pinned Wigner solid state, in the top layer.

The features resemble a level anti-crossing and imply a strong interaction with an unknown excitation of the solid. The origin of this phenomenon remains unexplained. This paper reviews the existing data and presents some recently detected correlations of the splitting with other sample parameters.

In these experiments, spin-polarized electrons and holes are resonantly injected by circularly polarized light into colloidal quantum dots of specific size, using a narrowband tunable dye laser and a fiber-coupled probe that is specially-designed for use in high-field magnets. In addition to the expected broad features associated with excitonic recombination and Raman-like peaks associated with quantized acoustic phonons, the photoluminescence spectra measured at magnetic fields larger than 10 Tesla develop a sharp peak, which moves roughly linearly with applied magnetic field. Further, the energy of this high-field peak varies systematically as a function of nanocrystal size. However, unlike typical electron spin flip transitions, the mode energy extrapolates to a finite value at zero magnetic field, suggesting the existence of an additional size-dependent exchange mechanism.

We observe a field dependent shift of the Fermi energy with both the magnitude and sign of the shift varying with magnetic field. Simultaneous low temperature magneto-photoluminescence measurements reveal a monotonically increasing blue shift accompanied by a quenching of the intensity. A theoretical treatment based on a single particle picture and taking into account the diamagnetic shift as well as a shift due to an anisotropic effective mass cannot qualitatively reproduce our experimental results, indicating that many-body interactions may be important.

The elongated, centered ferric tetrahedron contains five FeIII ions with a S = &frac152; ground spin state. Variable temperature EPR suggests that the first paramagnetic excited spin state is low lying. Employing high frequencies and fields in the EPK experiments allows for resolution of g anisotropy of the FeIII centers. We therefore are able to determine the g value of the FeIII ion precisely.

The structure of the nucleotide-free Escherkhia coil clamp loader had been determined previously and led to the proposal that the clamp-loader cycles between an inactive state, in which the ATPase domains form a closed ring, and an active state that opens up to form a "C" shapes The crystal structure was interpreted as being closer to the active state than the inactive state. The crystal structure of a nucleotide-bound eukaryotic clamp loader [replication factor C (RFC)] revealed a different and more tightly packed spiral organization of the ATPase domains, raising questions about the significance of the conformation seen earlier for the bacterial clamp loader. We describe crystal structures of the E. coil clamp-loader complex bound to the ATP analog ATPγS (at a resolution of 3.5 Å) and ADP (at a resolution of 4.1 Å). These structures are similar to that of the nucleotide-free clamp-loader complex. Only two of the three functional ATP-binding sites are occupied by ATPγS or ADP in these structures, and the bound nucleotides make no interfacial contacts in the complex. These results, along with data from isothermal titration calorimetry, molecular dynamics simulations, and comparison with the RFC structure, suggest that the more open form of the E. coil clamp loader described earlier and in the present work corresponds to a stable inactive state of the clamp loader in which the ATPase domains are prevented from engaging the clamp in the highly cooperative manner seen in the fully ATP-loaded RFC-clamp structure.

When combined with measured amplitudes, model-based phases yield electron- density maps with features of the correct structure but with a significant bias towards features of the model. The present contribution shows applications of the technique of prime- and-switch phasing to reduce this bias. An atomic model is used to generate phases that are close to the correct set but that may be biased. An unbiased source of phase information, an estimate of the probability that the electron-density map corresponds to a macromolecule, is then used to select a set of phases that are near the biased set, without further reference to the biased phases. The probability that the electron-density map corresponds to a macromolecule is based on agreement of the map with expectations such as a flat solvent region. Prime-and-switch phasing can be useful even for crystals with low solvent content and may reduce errors in interpretation of electron density in a wide range of applications of macro- molecular crystallography, including molecular replacement, model building, ligand-binding and conformation-change studies, refinement and structure validation.

This scoring function combined with a graph-based search technique provides a flexible model-building scheme and its application shows promising initial results. Several ligands with sizes ranging from 9 to 44 non-H atoms have been identified in various X-ray structures and built in an automatic way using a minimal amount of prior stereochemical knowledge.

In the case of SOFCs incorporating Ni-based anodes, hydrogen reduction of the anode usually takes place during the first service cycle of operation or conditioning. Initial reduction causes changes in the chemistry, microstructure and properties of the Ni-based anode material, which in turn induce mechanical stresses in the cell. In this study the elastic moduli, biaxial strength and fracture toughness of unreduced (NiO-YSZ) and reduced (Ni-YSZ) anode were determined as functions of porosity. Elastic properties were determined by impulse excitation at ambient temperature. Biaxial strength and fracture toughness were determined at ambient temperature by the ring-on-ring and double torsion test methods, respectively. It was found that the mechanical properties of unreduced and reduced Ni-based anode materials depend strongly on porosity. Property–porosity trends were found to be in good agreement with prediction of the minimum solid area model. Results presented in this study show that the elastic moduli and biaxial strength of the Ni-based anode material decreases after reduction in hydrogen while fracture toughness increases after reduction due to formation of ductile Ni-metal phase.

Extensive grain boundary motion has been observed in pure Al, whereas Mg solutes effectively pin high-angle grain boundaries in the Al–Mg alloy films. The proposed mechanism for this pinning is a change in the atomic structure of the boundaries, possibly aided by solute drag on extrinsic grain boundary dislocations. The mobility of low-angle boundaries is not affected by the presence of Mg. Based on the direct observations of incipient plasticity in Al and Al–Mg, it was concluded that solute drag accounts for the absence of discrete strain bursts in indentation of Al–Mg.

They have developed under intensive weathering in subtropical and tropical regions or from volcanic ash parent material. The magnitude and sign of the surface charge of variable charge constituents depend on the chemistry of the contacting solution (pH and ionic strength). The mineralogical, physical and chemical characteristics of these soil systems are different from those observed in soil systems of temperate regions. In this chapter, the mineralogy, chemistry and management of VCS are reviewed and discussed, focusing on the chemistry of these systems.

In the stochastic approach, the properties of porous media are treated as random functions with statistics obtained from field measurements. Several studies indicate that hydrological properties depend on the scale of measurements or support scales, but most stochastic analysis does not address the effects of support scale on stochastic predictions of subsurface processes. In this work we propose a new approach to study the scale dependence of stochastic predictions. We present a stochastic analysis of immiscible fluid–fluid displacement in randomly heterogeneous porous media. While existing solutions are applicable only to systems in which the viscosity of one phase is negligible compare with the viscosity of the other (water–air systems for example), our solutions can be applied to the immiscible displacement of fluids having arbitrarily viscosities such as NAPL–water and water–oil. Treating intrinsic permeability as a random field with statistics dependant on the permeability support scale (scale of measurements) we obtained, for one-dimensional systems, analytical solutions for the first moments characterizing unbiased predictions (estimates) of system variables, such as the pressure and fluid–fluid interface position, and we also obtained second moments, which characterize the uncertainties associated with such predictions. Next we obtained empirically scale dependent exponential correlation function of the intrinsic permeability that allowed us to study solutions of stochastic equations as a function of the support scale. We found that the first and second moments converge to asymptotic values as the support scale decreases. In our examples, the statistical moments reached asymptotic values for support scale that were approximately 1/10000 of the flow domain size. We show that analytical moment solutions compare well with the results of Monte Carlo simulations for moderately heterogeneous porous media, and that they can be used to study the effects of heterogeneity on the dynamics and stability of immiscible flow.

The particle has no initial angular momentum and experiences no torque. However, in an inertial frame moving with a nonvanishing velocity with respect to the first, the charged particle's motion is subject to the Lorentz force with both electric and magnetic fields produced by the ‘fixed’ charge, which is now in uniform motion. The charged particle experiences a torque from the magnetic part of the force; its nonvanishing angular momentum changes in time. This puzzle is analyzed in detail from different reference frames. The chief characteristic of the motion, independent of the choice of the inertial frame, is the constancy in time of the orientation of the relative coordinate r as the particle moves with respect to the fixed (or uniformly moving) charge.

JO - Amyloid JF - Amyloid Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 11 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 232 EP - 244 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 13506129 AB - Although more than 20 different proteins are now associated with the amyloidoses, the fibrils share many properties. Despite disparity in primary and tertiary structures of the subunit proteins, assembled fibrils exhibit similar morphology, binding of Congo red, interaction with Thioflavine T, formation of complexes with serum amyloid P component, apolipoprotein E, several glycosaminoglycans, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and cross-recognition by some monoclonal antibodies. Thus, it is probable that the mechanism of amyloid generation involves a generic process that can be evoked by most, if not all, proteins under conditions that degrade the native conformation. As suggested by others, the beta-helix or beta-roll conformation may be the unifying element of fibril conformations. Several proteins that have evolved to form physiologically useful amyloid-like fibrils, as well as some proteins associated with pathological amyloidoses, exhibit sequence repeat patterns that may facilitate beta-roll or beta-helix formation. Threading analyses of 2 natural amyloid-forming proteins, curli and human Pmel 17, indicate compatibility of their primary structures with both beta sandwich and beta-helix conformations, suggesting a possible innate conformational pliability. In addition, these results may suggest that the misfolded form of some proteins that are associated with conformational disease may be the native conformation of other proteins to which they are linked by evolution. Finally, since many matrix and structural proteins are known to incorporate numerous tandem repeat sequence elements, we propose that the mechanism of fibril formation is fundamentally related to a general protein assembly process that is integral to the generation of cells and tissues.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2004/12//12/1/2004 VL - 76 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 6982 EP - 6988 SN - 00032700 AB - Structural elucidation of posttranslationally modified peptides and proteins is of key importance in the understanding of an array of biological processes. Ubiquitination is a reversible modification that regulates many cellular functions. Consequences of ubiquitination depend on whether a single ubiquitin or polyubiquitin chain is added to the tagged protein. The lysine residue through which the polyubiquitin chain is formed is also critical for biological activity. Robust methods are therefore required to identify sites of ubiquilination modification, both in the target protein and in ubiquitin. Here, we demonstrate the suitability of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry, in conjunction with activated ion electron capture dissociation (Al ECD) or infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), for the analysis of ubiquitinated proteins. Polyubiquitinated substrate protein GST-Ubc5 was generated in vitro. Tryptic digests of polyubiquitinated species contain modified peptides in which the ubiquitin C-terminal Gly-Gly residues are retained on the modified lysine residues. Direct infusion microelectrospray Fr-ICR of the digest and comparison with an in silico digest enables identification of modified peptides and therefore sites of ubiquitination. Fifteen sites of ubiquitination were identified in GST-Ubc5 and four sites in ubiquilin. Assignments were confirmed by Al ECD or IRMPD. The Gly-Gly modification is stable and both tandem mass spectrometric techniques are suitable, providing extensive sequence coverage and retention of the modification on backbone fragments.

SN - 01638998 AB - Trace analysis of radionuclides is an essential and versatile tool in modern science and technology. Because of their ideal geophysical and geochemical properties, long-lived noble gas radionuclides--particularly 39Ar (t½ = 269 y), 81Kr (t½ = 2.3 x 105 y), and 85Kr (t&frac; = 10.8 y)--have long been recognized to have a wide range of important applications in Earth sciences. In recent years, significant progress in the development of practical analytical methods has led to applications of these isotopes in the hydrosphere (tracing the flow of groundwater and ocean water). In this article, we introduce the applications of these isotopes and review three leading analytical methods: low-level counting (LLC), accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and atom trap trace analysis (ATTA).

Comparison of theory and experiment suggests a 2.4 σ difference if e+e- → hadrons data are used to evaluate the main hadronic effects, but a smaller discrepancy if hadronic τ decay data are employed. Implications of a deviation for "new physics" contributions, along with an outlook for future improvements in theory and experiment, are briefly discussed.

SN - 01638998 AB - The E821 Experiment at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron has measured the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμto a relative precision of 0.5 parts per million. This effort required a new beamline, a super-ferric muon storage ring with a highly uniform magnetic field, a precision magnetic field measurement system, and electromagnetic calorimeters to record the electrons from muon decay, which carry the essential spin precession frequency information. Data obtained over five years resulted in more than nine billion analyzed events, in nearly equal samples of both muon charges. The experimental results aμ+ =11659203(8) x 10-10 and aμ = 11659214(9) x 10-10 is 0.9--2.4 standard deviations higher than predicted by theory; the range depends on the method employed to obtain the hadronic vacuum polarization term in the standard-model calculation. We reviewthe experimental design, physical realization, and analysis procedures and compare the results to the theoretical prediction.

SN - 01638998 AB - Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which describes hadrons and their interactions, is a non-Abelian gauge theory. The salient property of QCD is color confinement, quantitative understanding of which still remains a challenge. Major contributions to understanding quantum dynamics of non-Abelian fields are due to V.N. Gribov, both in the framework of pure gluodynamics (Gribov copies, Gribov horizon) and in the quest for confinement in the presence of light quarks (supercritical confinement scenario). We discuss Gribov's approach to the confinement problem and review some recent developments that are motivated, directly or indirectly, by his ideas.

Degradation of this polyphosphate was induced by carbon starvation conditions, resulting in phosphate release into the medium. The mechanism of polyphosphate degradation is not clearly understood, but it appears to be associated with glycogen degradation. Upon suspension of the cells in 1 mM uranyl nitrate, nearly all polyphosphate that had accumulated was degraded within 48 h, resulting in the removal of nearly 80% of the uranyl ion and >95% of lesser-concentrated solutions. Electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) suggest that this removal was due to the precipitation of uranyl phosphate at the cell membrane. TRLFS also indicated that uranyl was initially sorbed to the cell as uranyl hydroxide and was then precipitated as uranyl phosphate as phosphate was released from the cell. Lethal doses of radiation did not halt phosphate secretion from polyphosphate-filled cells under carbon starvation conditions.

A large cylindrical NaI(Tl) scintillation detector, 15.24 cm high by 15.24 cm diameter was used to measure carbon (C) and oxygen (O). The performance of the systems was assessed as a function of input count rate (ICR) by monitoring the peak areas of the C, 4.43 MeV, and O, 6.13 MeV, gamma-rays. In separate experiments, the digital and the analog systems were also compared using an intense 10.3 mCi 137Cs source to vary the ICR, and the 1.17 MeV peak area of 60Co was used as the reference.

We propose an approach which recognizes that errors can occur in thex-direction as well. Instead of just measuring the difference between the predictions and observations at each site (or time), we first“deform” the predictions, stretching or compressing along thex-direction or directions, so as to improve the agreement between the observations and the deformed predictions. Error is then summarized by (a) the amount of deformation inx, and (b) the remaining difference inybetween the data and the deformed predictions (i.e., the residual error inyafter the deformation). A parameter,λ, controls the tradeoff between (a) and (b), so that asno deformation is allowed, whereas forthe deformation minimizes the errors iny. In some applications, the deformation itself is of interest because it characterizes the (temporal or spatial) structure of the errors. The optimal deformation can be computed by solving a system of nonlinear partial differential equations, or, for a unidimensional index, by using a dynamic programming algorithm. We illustrate the procedure with examples from nonlinear time series and fluid dynamics.

The present study describes ex vivo fracture experiments to quantitatively assess the effect of aging on the fracture toughness properties of human cortical bone in the longitudinal direction. Because cortical bone exhibits rising crack-growth resistance with crack extension, unlike most previous studies, the toughness is evaluated in terms of resistance-curve (R-curve) behavior, measured for bone taken from wide range of age groups (34–99 years). Using this approach, both the ex vivo crack-initiation and crack-growth toughness are determined and are found to deteriorate with age; the initiation toughness decreases some 40% over 6 decades from 40 to 100 years, while the growth toughness is effectively eliminated over the same age range. The reduction in crack-growth toughness is considered to be associated primarily with a degradation in the degree of extrinsic toughening, in particular, involving crack bridging in the wake of the crack.

JO - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society JF - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 85 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1903 EP - 1915 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00030007 AB - To significantly improve the simulation of climate by general circulation models (GCMs), systematic errors in representations of relevant processes must first be identified, and then reduced. This endeavor demands that the GCM parameterizations of unresolved processes, in particular, should be tested over a wide range of time scales, not just in climate simulations. Thus, a numerical weather prediction (NWP) methodology for evaluating model parameterizations and gaining insights into their behavior may prove useful, provided that suitable adaptations are made for implementation in climate GCMs. This method entails the generation of short-range weather forecasts by a realistically initialized climate GCM, and the application of six hourly NWP analyses and observations of parameterized variables to evaluate these forecasts. The behavior of the parameterizations in such a weather-forecasting framework can provide insights on how these schemes might be improved, and modified parameterizations then can be tested in the same framework. To further this method for evaluating and analyzing parameterizations in climate GCMs, the U.S. Department of Energy is funding a joint venture of its Climate Change Prediction Program (CCPP) and Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program: the CCPP-ARM Parameterization Testbed (CAPT). This article elaborates the scientific rationale for CAPT, discusses technical aspects of its methodology, and presents examples of its implementation in a representative climate GCM.

Otoliths from ocean-type chinook from Skagit River estuary, Washington, had prehatch regions with 87Sr/86Sr ratios of ~0.709, suggesting a maternally inherited marine signature, extensive fresh water growth zones with 87Sr/86Sr ratios similar to those of the Skagit River at ~0.705, and marine-like 87Sr/86Sr ratios near their edges. Otoliths from stream-type chinook from central Idaho had prehatch 87Sr/86Sr ratios ≥0.711, indicating that a maternal marine Sr isotopic signature is not preserved after the ~1000- to 1400-km migration from the Pacific Ocean. 87Sr/86Sr ratios in the outer portions of otoliths from these Idaho juveniles were similar to those of their respective streams (~0.708–0.722). For Skagit juveniles, fresh water growth was marked by small decreases in otolith Sr/Ca, with increases in Sr/Ca corresponding to increases in 87Sr/86Sr with migration into salt water. Otoliths of Idaho fish had Sr/Ca radial variation patterns that record seasonal fluctuation in ambient water Sr/Ca ratios. The ion microprobe's ability to measure both 87Sr/86Sr and Sr/Ca ratios of otoliths at high spatial resolution in situ provides a new tool for studies of fish rearing and migration.

Les otolithes de saumons de type océanique de l'estuaire de la Skagit, Washington, possèdent des régions antérieures à l'éclosion avec des rapports 87Sr/86Sr de ~0,709 indiquant une signature marine héritée de la mère, des zones importantes de croissance en eau douce avec des rapports 87Sr/86Sr de ~0,705 semblables à ceux de la Skagit et des rapports de type marin près des marges. Les otolithes de saumons de type rivière du centre de l'Idaho ont des rapports 87Sr/86Sr avant l'éclosion de ≥0,711, ce qui indique que la signature Sr maternelle marine ne s'est pas conservée après une migration de ~1000–1400 km depuis le Pacifique. Les rapports 87Sr/86Sr des zones externes des otolithes de ces jeunes saumons de l'Idaho correspondent à ceux de leurs cours d'eau respectifs (~0,708–0,722). Chez les jeunes saumons de Skagit, la croissance en eau douce s'accompagne de faibles diminutions de Sr/Ca dans les otolithes; la migration en eau salée amène un accroissement de Sr/Ca correspondant à l'augmentation de 87Sr/86Sr. Les otolithes des poissons d'Idaho affichent des patrons de variation radiale de Sr/Ca qui reflètent les fluctuations saisonnières des rapports Sr/Ca dans l'eau du milieu. La capacité des microsondes ioniques à mesurer les rapports 87Sr/86Sr et Sr/Ca des otolithes à une forte résolution spatiale in situ fournit un nouvel outil pour étudier l'élevage et la migration des poissons.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Elevated temperatures accelerate diamond to graphite phase transition and we studied this process by analyzing X-ray diffraction patterns, Raman spectra and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) images. Increasing activation energy was obtained for diamond powders of increasing sizes, and the critical pressure of the diamond to graphite phase transition decreased. Onion-like carbon was obtained after the graphitization of nano and sub-micron diamond, and attributed to closure of graphite shells. Microcrystalline graphite was formed after graphitization of micron size diamond, mainly due to the good crystallinity of the micron diamond precursor.

These solutions are shown to be a superposition of a localized moving core and an excited extended state (background) to which the localized moving pulse is spatially asymptotic. The background is a linear combination of small amplitude nonlinear resonant plane waves and it plays an essential role in the energy balance governing the translational motion of the localized core. Perturbative collective variable theory predictions are critically analyzed in the light of the numerical results.

T1 - Adsorption of rare earth elements by γ-Al2O3 and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells in the presence of desferrioxamine B: implication of siderophores for the Ce anomaly JO - Chemical Geology JF - Chemical Geology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 212 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 239 EP - 246 SN - 00092541 AB - Abstract: We investigated the influence of siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFO) on the adsorption behavior of 11 rare-earth elements (REEs), La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er, on γ-Al2O3 and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells at neutral pH. In the presence of DFO, the adsorption of REEs on γ-Al2O3 and P. fluorescens cells showed a tendency to decrease with an increase of their atomic number, except for Ce. The adsorption of Ce was significantly lower than those of the neighboring REEs, La and Pr. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis of the Ce–DFO complex showed that Ce was in the tetravalent state. Adding hydroxylammonium reduced the tetravalent Ce in the complex to its trivalent form with the disappearance of the Ce anomaly. These results show that DFO can oxidize Ce(III) to Ce(IV), which was supported by electrochemical experiments. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) revealed that the redox potential of the Ce(IV)/Ce(III) couple in the DFO complex was much lower than the standard redox potential, and that the stability of Ce(IV)–DFO is much higher than that of Ce(III)–DFO. These findings suggest that the Ce anomaly we observed is due to the oxidation of Ce(III)–DFO complex to the more stable Ce(IV)–DFO complex, and that naturally occurring organic ligands can contribute to Ce anomaly observed in the natural environment.

T1 - Mechanisms of arsenic immobilization in a biomat from mine discharge water JO - Chemical Geology JF - Chemical Geology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 212 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 290 SN - 00092541 AB - Abstract: We studied the mechanism of uptake of arsenic (As) in a bacterial microhabitat, a biomat, from discharged arsenic mine water at pH 4.7 in field and laboratory experiments. The mine water contained a yellowish biomat composed mainly of Fe-bearing compounds and associated microorganisms. Concentrations of As and Fe in the water decreased with increasing distance from the location of the discharge position. The spatial distributions of elements in the biomat collected at 0.3 m downstream from the discharge position, determined by scanning-particle-induced X-ray emission analysis (S-PIXE), indicated that As was co-located with Fe and S in the precipitates. Analyses of the precipitates by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the presence of Fe–S-bearing minerals, such as schwertmannite and an unknown one, having a d-spacing of 3.3 Å. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis of the precipitates indicated that the oxidation states of As and Fe were V and III, respectively, whereas their corresponding oxidation states in the discharged mine water were V and II. After storing fresh mine water, collected 0.3 m downstream of the discharge position, for 17 days there was a decrease in As and Fe concentrations from 1.2×10−6 and 1.8×10−4 mol L−1 to 3.6×10−7 and 2.0×10−5 mol L−1, respectively, with the concomitant formation of a yellowish precipitate. In contrast, in filter-sterilized (0.2 μm) mine water there was no change in their concentrations. Molecular analysis, based on the 16S rDNA fragment extracted from the discharged mine water, indicated that Gallionella sp. was the predominant microorganism present. It is known to form stalk-like and sheath-like compounds that were distinguished in the precipitates by TEM observation. These results demonstrate that As(V) in the discharged mine water is co-precipitated with and/or adsorbed on Fe–S-bearing minerals in the biomat.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 67 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 403 EP - 415 SN - 01650009 AB - Abstract Recent studies have highlighted the importance of vegetation structure, both in the context of landscape dynamics and with regard to ecosystem productivity. This paper addresses the feasibility to retrieve information on canopy structure on the basis of quasi-simultaneous multi-spectral and multi-directional remote sensing measurements from space. After a brief summary of both active and passive remote sensing approaches that are commonly used to address vegetation structure retrievals, this contribution focuses on the state-of-the-art in physically based interpretations relating the anisotropy of multi-directional reflectance measurements to the structure and heterogeneity of the underlying surface. New sets of ecology-oriented parameters are identified that permit a geophysical interpretation of the directional signature of the surface leaving radiation field. The availability of such terrestrial surface structure information, at the within-pixel scale and for the entire globe, will undoubtedly lead to better estimates of ecosystem productivity, carbon stocks and fluxes, as well as changes thereof.

It was found that Am(VI) is readily reduced by the simple action of water, and that radiolysis has no effect. This is a marked departure from the behavior of Am in other media, where alpha particle self-irradiation generates redox active species that affect the Am oxidation state. An Am(VII) compound has been synthesized. All results are interesting for the treatment of alkaline high-level radioactive wastes. To cite this article: A.P. Nikonov et al., C. R. Chimie 7 (2004).

Code modules are high quality, fully documented software packages with a clearly defined interface. The modules provide a variety of functions, such as implementing numerical physics models; performing ancillary functions such as I/O or graphics; or providing tools for dealing with common issues in scientific programming such as portability of Fortran codes. Researchers in the plasma community submit code modules, and a review procedure is followed to insure adherence to programming and documentation standards. The review process is designed to provide added confidence with regard to the use of the modules and to allow users and independent reviews to validate the claims of the modules'' authors. All modules include source code; clear instructions for compilation of binaries on a variety of target architectures; and test cases with well-documented input and output. All the NTCC modules and ancillary information, such as current standards and documentation, are available from the NTCC Module Library Website . The goal of the project is to develop a resource of value to builders of integrated modeling codes and to plasma physics researchers generally. Currently, there are more than 40 modules in the module library.

The simulation model and δf algorithm are described, and an interesting new result of non-local ion thermal transport is presented.

AMR is a computationally efficient way to provide the resolution required to simulate realistic pellet sizes relative to device dimensions. The mathematical model comprises of single-fluid MHD equations with source terms in the continuity equation along with a pellet ablation rate model. The numerical method developed is an explicit unsplit upwinding treatment of the 8-wave formulation, coupled with a MAC projection method to enforce the solenoidal property of the magnetic field. The Chombo framework is used for AMR. The role of the E×B drift in mass redistribution during inside and outside pellet injections is emphasized.

Static condensation is implemented to construct the Shur complement of the Jacobian matrix, which greatly accelerates the linear system solution and distinguishes itself from conventional Newton–Krylov schemes. Grid alignment with the evolving magnetic field, implemented with a variational principle, is a key component of grid adaptation in SEL, and is critical to toroidal plasma applications. Results of 2D magnetic reconnection are shown to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the parallel algorithms built on the Portable, Extensible Toolkits for Scientific Computing (PETSC) framework.

When these disparities are in distinctive zones of the simulation region, a method which has proven to be effective in other areas (e.g., fluid dynamics simulations) is the mesh refinement technique. We briefly discuss the challenges posed by coupling this technique with plasma Particle-In-Cell simulations and present two implementations in more detail, with examples.

The TORIC code [Brambilla, Nucl. Fusion 38 (1998) 1805] solves the linear sixth order reduced wave equation for the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF), in toroidal geometry using a Fourier representation for the poloidal dimension and finite elements in the flux dimension. The range of problems that TORIC can do has been extended through both new serial algorithms and parallelization of memory and processing. The implementation of out-of-core memory management, FFT convolutions, and improved memory management brought MC studies just into range of the serial version of the code running on a NERSC Cray SV1. Some simple tests and arguments show that more resolution than is possible on a single processor system is needed to fully resolve these scenarios. By distributing the large linear system across many processors in conjunction with the out-of-core technique, the resolution limitations are effectively removed. ScaLAPACK is used to do the linear algebra operations and message passing interface (MPI) is used to distribute the significant amount of post-processing. The new parallel version of the code can easily do the most difficult MC problems on present day tokamaks (Alcator C-Mod and Asdex-Upgrade), with only 32 pc from a local Beowulf cluster. Using 48 or more processors admits us to problems in the lower hybrid range of frequencies.

However, as they rely on a phase-space grid which is fixed for the whole simulation, important computing effort can be wasted in zones where no particles are present at some given time. In order to overcome this drawback, we introduce here a new method which makes use of a phase-space grid which is uniform at any given time, but moves in time according to the evolution of the envelope of the beam.

Experimental results clearly show the extreme three-dimensional nature of the wire explosion and collapse process. The physics of this process can be approximated by the resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations augmented by thermal and radiative transport modeling. Z-pinch MHD physics is dominated by material regions whose conductivity properties vary drastically as material passes from solid through melt into plasma regimes. At the same time void regions between the wires are modeled as regions of very low conductivity. This challenging physical situation requires a sophisticated three-dimensional modeling approach matched by sufficient computational resources to make progress in predictive modeling and improved physical understanding.

A physical model was presented in which the phonon frequency spectrum is represented through generalized elastic stiffness coefficients that include strain dependence. The primary purpose of the present work is to achieve a simplification of the analysis in order to facilitate calculation and reveal the essential physical content. The formulation in wave vector space of the equations for Tc in strong superconductivity is reviewed. The method of simplification employs a succession of approximations to the effective elastic constants that enter the relation between phonon frequency and wave number. It is found that the effective elastic constants in the crystal symmetry directions may be grouped into sets having similar form, and this form includes terms in common among the sets and difference terms. The difference terms are found to be in the nature of gradients and may be eliminated to good approximation. The common terms include the strain dependence in a form identified as a deformation strain parameter. The analysis treats spherical (hydrostatic) and deformation strain dependence under longitudinal and transverse applied strain for wire and tape conductor. The analysis is applicable over a full range of applied strain, including small strains often described by a power law strain dependence, and larger strains often described by a deviatoric strain approach. A comparison is provided between the results of the full detailed analysis and the results of the approximate treatment showing the degree of agreement in the various applied strain orientations.

We review and critique existing techniques for identifying and gathering digital resources using metadata harvested through the OAI-PMH. We introduce an alternative solution that builds on the introduction of complex object formats that provide a more accurate way to describe digital resources. We argue that the use of complex object formats as OAI-PMH metadata formats results in a reliable and attractive approach for incremental harvesting of resources using the OAI-PMH.

Uncertainty analysis, sensitivity analysis, error analysis, error budget analysis, spatial decision analysis, and hypothesis testing using neutral models are all techniques designed to explore the relationship between variation in model inputs and variation in model predictions. Although similar methods can be used to answer them, these approaches address different questions. These approaches differ in (a) wild her the focus is forward or backward (forward to evaluate the magnitude of variation in model predictions propagated or backward to rank input parameters by their influence); (b) whether the question involves model robustness to large variations in spatial pattern or to small deviations from a reference map; and (c) whether processes that generate input uncertainty (for example, cartographic error) are of interest. In this commentary, we propose a taxonomy of approaches, all of which clarify the relationship between spatial uncertainty and the predictions of ecological models. We describe existing techniques and indicate a few areas where research is needed.

Standby power use refers to power consumed by appliances when they are switched off or are not providing their intended functions. Appliances in 28 urban Chinese homes were surveyed and standby power use was measured. The combined standby power use was about 29 W per home. However, many occupants unplug appliances when not in use, so standby energy use accounts for 50–200 kWh per year in an average urban home. Residential standby power consumption in China requires the electrical output equivalent of at least six 500 MW power plants. Levels of standby power use in Chinese homes are below those observed in developed countries but still high in part because Chinese appliances have higher standby than similar products in developed countries. Existing technologies are available to greatly reduce standby power at low costs.

One method is to store the carbon dioxide in mineral form, reacting solution dissolved CO2 to precipitate carbonates. In order to understand whether or not such an endeavor is feasible, the carbonation reaction must first be understood. In this study, the surface of ground serpentine, untreated, heat treated and following a carbonation experiment, has been characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicate that the mechanism for the reaction involves dissolution of the serpentine through the formation of an amorphous phase and subsequent precipitation of magnesite. The rate limiting step appears to be the diffusion of Mg out of the amorphous phase.

In order to apply these monitors, however, many issues influencing system response and data analysis must be addressed. This study examines the use of a continuous flow-through toxicity monitor (Bioscan®) to (1) determine the sensitivity, accuracy, and precision of the toxicity monitor to different concentrations of a stressing agent (in this case pH), (2) establish operational and maintenance procedures, and (3) examine the consistency in the measured response to a single perturbation. The system precision was sensitive to all the pH pulse perturbations, with stable background variability (1% to 6%); however, replicated pulse applications demonstrated that the system has lower accuracy (31% to 38%). The response consistency was limited, with notable differences in maximum dissolved oxygen and recovery time. The initial response time (inclining slope) was relatively consistent. Although this examination should be repeated with other contaminants used to stress the toxicity monitor, it appears that continuous flow-through toxicity monitors like the Bioscan® are well suited for qualitative early alert warning systems for water contamination.

From this comparison, risks to the exposed organism can be evaluated. To demonstrate the use of fate models in ecological risk assessment, we combine the Equilibrium Criterion (EQC) environmental fate model with a simple screening level biouptake model for three representative organisms: a bird, a mammal, and a fish. This effort yields estimates of internal body concentrations that can be compared with levels known to elicit toxic effects. As an illustration, we present an analysis of 24 hydrocarbon components of gasoline that differ in properties but are assumed to elicit toxicity by a common narcotic mode of action. Results demonstrate that differences in chemical properties and mode of entry into the environment lead to profound differences in the efficiency of transport from emission to target biota. We discuss the implications of these results and draw attention to the insights gained about regional fate and ecological risks associated with gasoline. This approach is suitable for assessing single chemicals or mixtures that have similar modes of action. We conclude that the model-based methodologies presented are widely applicable for screening level ecological risk assessments that support effective chemicals management.

In particular, we need an understanding of the dose–response relationship from the level of individual or population exposure down to the molecular level (and then back up again from the molecular level to the specific health-related response of the organism as a whole). Mixtures toxicology is proving to be different from single-chemical toxicology in several fundamental but barely recognized ways:complex chemical mixtures may consist of thousands of (often unidentified) components, each often at very low doses, but together constituting significant exposure levels;exposure is nearly always via multiple routes, pathways;other stressors such as noise, heat, infection, etc., may play a significant role in the overall environmental health response;interactions are potentially many and varied: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions may occur at the same site, or at different sites via complex physiological processes (including defense mechanisms);cumulative effects of different exposures/stresses over time need to be considered (altering the “baseline” susceptibility of the individual).Knowledge gained in mixtures research should be able to improve current risk assessment and mitigation or intervention methods. In NIOSH''s National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) three priority areas have been identified:Epidemiology: Improvement of statistical tools to identify mixed effects from available epidemiological data (“confounding factors are mixtures effects”). Awareness of disease states with significant environmental components (Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), etc.). Recognition and investigation of the complexity of disease related responses to multiple (simultaneous and serial) stressors (immune system, endocrine system, nervous system, etc.). Wider emphasis on relatively new concepts such as susceptibility, which links the genetic and environmental components of a disease. Disease itself is of course also a stressor.Laboratory approaches: Methods need to be developed to understand and integrate experimental data from the molecular to the whole organism level for understanding multiple data (proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics/metabonomics) from mixed exposures. Understanding and prediction of precursors to adverse health effects will inevitably lead to identification of useful biomarkers of effect, and to earlier and more effective intervention strategies. We also need to improve our ability to forecast interaction effects from mixed exposures using less costly cellular-based screening tools and computer modeling (e.g. QSAR), and develop improved models for large-scale studies of the nature of chemical interactions that lump responses by chemical classes.Modeling as integrator of data: Development and validation of mechanism-based models and predictive tools are essential for improving current risk assessment processes for mixtures. For example, current linked physiologically-based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) models for multiple simultaneous exposures to chemicals (such as BTEX) need to be extended to more complex mixtures, and new statistical methods of dealing with possibly thousands of components need to be developed. Ultimately, such models may become an integral part of a model of the “virtual human” via computer simulation.

SN - 14346001 AB - We present an analysis of two-proton shell gaps in Sn isotopes. As theoretical tool we use self-consistent mean-field models, namely the relativistic mean-field model and the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach, both with two different pairing forces, a delta interaction (DI) model and a density-dependent delta interaction (DDDI). We investigate the influence of nuclear deformation as well as collective correlations and find that both effects contribute significantly. Moreover, we find a further significant dependence on the pairing force used. The inclusion of deformation plus correlation effects and the use of DDDI pairing provides agreement with the data.

SN - 12928941 AB - Spherical polyelectrolyte block copolymer micelles were investigated as a function of added NaCl salt concentration using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and Light Scattering (LS). The micelles are formed by the self-association of charged-neutral copolymers made of a long deuterated polyelectrolyte moiety (NaPSSd)251 and a short hydrophobic moiety (PEP)52. In presence of salt, the core shape and the aggregation number of the micelles are not affected. The hydrodynamic radius of the micelle is found to be identical to the radius of the whole micelle deduced from neutron scattering and thus the hydrodynamic radius is a valid measure of the corona thickness. At the lowest salt concentrations investigated the thickness of the corona,Rs, remains essentially constant and a contraction is observed above an added-salt concentrationcs of 2×10-2 M where this crossover concentration corresponds to the average ionic strength of the free counterions in the corona. The contraction takes place while maintaining a rod-like behavior of the chains at short scale and obeys to:Rs ~cs-0.18. The exponent 0.18 suggests an electrostatic persistence length proportional to the Debye screening length.

This time signal presents a frequency power spectra with a clear 1/fα behavior with α≃0.8±0.2. The well-known cycle of approximately 11 years, clearly present in the spectrum, does not produce a sensible distortion of that behavior. The eventual characterization of the sunspot time series as a fractal is analyzed by means of the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). The jump-size distribution of the signal is also studied.

Soils are the primary terrestrial repository for carbon, so minor changes in the balance between belowground carbon storage and release could have major impacts on greenhouse gases. Soil fauna, roots, fungi, and microbes interact with mineral and organic matter to process soil carbon.

JO - Genome Research JF - Genome Research Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 14 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2397 EP - 2405 SN - 10889051 AB - The coelacanth is one of the nearest living relatives of tetrapods. However, a teleost species such as zebrafish or Fugu is typically used as the outgroup in current tetrapod comparative sequence analyses. Such studies are complicated by the fact that teleost genomes have undergone a whole-genome duplication event, as well as individual gene-duplication events. Here, we demonstrate the value of coelacanth genome sequence by complete sequencing and analysis of the protocadherin gene cluster of the Indonesian coelacanth, Latimeria menadoensis. We found that coelacanth has 49 protocadherin cluster genes organized in the same three ordered subclusters, α, β, and γ, as the 54 protocadherin cluster genes in human. In contrast, whole-genome and tandem duplications have generated two zebrafish protocadherin clusters comprised of at least 97 genes. Additionally, zebrafish protocadherins are far more prone to homogenizing gene conversion events than coelacanth protocadherins, suggesting that recombination- and duplication-driven plasticity may be a feature of teleost genomes. Our results indicate that coelacanth provides the ideal outgroup sequence against which tetrapod genomes can be measured. We therefore present L. menadoensis as a candidate for whole-genome sequencing.

Due to its high rate of allelic polymorphism and ease of genetic manipulability, we chose the sea squirt, Ciona intestinalis, to explore intraspecies sequence comparisons for genome annotation. A large number of C. intestinalis specimens were collected from four continents, and a set of genomic intervals were amplified, resequenced, and analyzed to determine the mutation rates at each nucleotide in the sequence. We found that regions with low mutation rates efficiently demarcated functionally constrained sequences: these include a set of noncoding elements, which we showed in C. intestinalis transgenic assays to act as tissue-specific enhancers, as well as the location of coding sequences. This illustrates that comparisons of multiple members of a species can be used for genome annotation, suggesting a path for the annotation of the sequenced genomes of organisms occupying uncharacterized phylogenetic branches of the animal kingdom. It also raises the possibility that the resequencing of a large number of Homo sapiens individuals might be used to annotate the human genome and identify sequences defining traits unique to our species.

Spectral structure from U(VI) luminescence at the “–” vicinal regions and featureless, weak luminescence at the “+” vicinal regions are consistent with previously reported observations of enrichment at the former sites during calcite growth. Luminescence spectra differ between the non-equivalent regions of the crystal, with the spectral features from the “–” vicinal region corresponding to those observed in bulk calcite samples. Subtle spectral shifts are observed from U(VI) co-precipitated with microcrystalline calcite synthesized by a different method, and all of the U(VI)-calcite sample spectra differ significantly from that of U(VI) co-precipitated with aragonite. The step-selective incorporation of U(VI) can be explained by a proposed model in which the allowed orientation for adsorption of the dominant calcium uranyl triscarbonate species is controlled by the atomic arrangement at step edges. Differences in the tilt angles of carbonate groups between non-equivalent growth steps favor adsorption of the calcium uranyl triscarbonate species at “–” steps, as observed in experiments.

To understand and predict the migration behavior of neptunium in the geological media, it is of importance to study its hydrolysis at elevated temperatures, because the temperature in the waste package and the vicinity of the repository could be high. Moreover, the chemical analogy between neptunium(V) and plutonium(V) adds even greater value to this investigation, because the latter could exist at tracer levels in neutral and slightly oxidizing waters but is difficult to study due to its rather labile redox behavior. In this work, the hydrolysis of neptunium(V) was studied at variable temperatures (10 to 85°C) in tetramethylammonium chloride (1.12 mol kg−1). Two hydrolyzed species of neptunium(V), NpO2OH(aq) and NpO2(OH)2−, were identified by potentiometry and Near-IR absorption spectroscopy. The hydrolysis constants (*βn) and enthalpy of hydrolysis (ΔHn) for the reaction NpO2+ + nH2O = NpO2(OH)n(1−n)+ + nH+ (n = 1 and 2) were determined by titration potentiometry and microcalorimetry. The hydrolysis constants, *β1 and *β2, increased by 0.8 and 3.4 orders of magnitude, respectively, as the temperature was increased from 10 to 85°C. The enhancement of hydrolysis at elevated temperatures is mainly due to the significant increase of the degree of ionization of water as the temperature is increased. The hydrolysis reactions are endothermic but become less endothermic as the temperature is increased. The heat capacities of hydrolysis, ΔCp1 and ΔCp2, are calculated to be −(71 ± 17) J K−1 mol−1 and −(127 ± 17) J K−1 mol−1, respectively. Approximation approaches to predict the effect of temperature, including the constant enthalpy approach, the constant heat capacity approach and the DQUANT equation, have been tested with the data.

SN - 14345021 AB - In the present study, rapid granular flows with attractive inter-particle forces are investigated. In particular, cohesive forces are incorporated into hard-sphere (molecular dynamics) simulations via a square-well potential. The square-well potential treats cohesive forces as both binary and instantaneous. For simple shear flows, an investigation of the input parameter space indicates that two distinct flow regimes are present. For relatively large cohesive forces, the formation of a large, single agglomerate is observed. For moderate cohesive forces, the sheared system is composed of mostly 2-particle, dynamic agglomerates that are fairly evenly distributed throughout the domain. Furthermore, the results for this latter regime indicate that cohesion attenuates the magnitude of the stress components at higher solids fractions (in the collisional regime) as compared to the non-cohesive case. At lower solids fractions (kinetic regime), however the presence of cohesive forces has little impact on the observed stress.

In subjects such as pollution prevention, design for sustainability and cleaner production, where industry application is the measure of true value, it becomes even more important for students to get direct personal experience. The challenges, barriers and incentives involved in conducting an environmental assessment cannot be easily simulated in a classroom setting, even with case studies or games. Additionally, engineers and business managers in industrial training often want to work directly on their own challenges. One approach is to incorporate an environmental assessment of an actual industry or small business directly into the training. The assessment can range from a simple site visit followed by in-class discussion to multiple site visits with written analytical reports. While the inherent uncertainties of this method can be challenging for teacher and students alike, we have successfully accomplished it in a variety of settings, including: ▶ Semester-length university sustainability courses including assessments at small local businesses ▶ Week-long cleaner production general training including half-day site visits followed by in-class brainstorming and role-play ▶ Two-day assessment training with multidisciplinary teams from the same organisation working on their own industrial processes and/or facility designs [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Greener Management International is the property of Greenleaf Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 87 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 583 EP - 595 SN - 00179078 AB - Based on annual tritium release rates from the five sources of tritium at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Tritium Research Laboratory at Sandia National Laboratory, the regulatory dispersion and dose model, CAP88-PC, was used to predict tritium concentrations in air at perimeter and offsite air surveillance monitoring locations for 1986 through 2001. These predictions were compared with mean annual measured concentrations, based on biweekly sampling. Deterministic predictions were compared with deterministic observations using predicted-to-observed ratios. In addition, the uncertainty on observations and predictions was assessed: when the uncertainty bounds of the observations overlapped with the uncertainty bounds of the predictions, the predictions were assumed to agree with the observations with high probability. Deterministically, 54% of all predictions were higher than the observations, and 96% fell within a factor of three. Accounting for uncertainty, 75 % of all predictions agreed with the observations; 87% of the predictions either matched or exceeded the observations. Predictions equaled or exceeded observations at those sampling locations towards which the wind blows most frequently, except those in the hills. Under-predictions were seen at locations towards which the wind blows infrequently when released tritium was from elevated sources. When a high fraction of tritium was from area (diffuse) sources, predictions matched observations.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 87 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 596 EP - 605 SN - 00179078 AB - This study determined the plutonium particle size distribution and dissolution rate of 238PuO2 aerosol collected during the 16 March 2000 release of an undetermined amount of 238PuO2 in a room within a plutonium facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The facility has been in operation since 1978 to support the development, fabrication, and testing of 238Pu heat sources for the U.S. Department of Energy. Several workers were in the room at the time of the release and in vivo study of five of the workers began the day after the exposure event. Four of the subjects subsequently received chelation therapy. Over 30 fixed air filter samplers (FASs) and four continuous air monitors (CAMs) were operating in the room during the radiological release. One 47-mm-diameter glass fiber FAS filter and one 25-cm-diameter mixed cellulose ester CAM filter containing Pu aerosol from the incident were examined in the study described here. Total alpha radioactivity on the filters was determined by gross alpha counting. Isotopic identification of the 238Pu was made by alpha spectrometry. Film autoradiography was used to characterize the spatial distribution of alpha-emitting particles on the filters. Track-etch autoradiography was used to estimate the distribution of alpha radioactivity in individual plutonium particles on the filters for particle size measurement. The glass fiber filter was then cut into six sections. Particles from two sections were resuspended in alcohol, dispersed as an aerosol using a Lovelace nebulizer, and characterized by aerodynamic diameter using a Lovelace Multi-jet cascade impactor. The measured activity median aerodynamic diameter from the cascade impactor was 4.8 µm with a geometric standard deviation of 1.5. That agreed with the size distribution obtained from the alpha track detection technique. The remaining four filter sections were used in an in vitro dissolution study with synthetic serum ultrafiltrate. The retention of undissolved was consistent with a biphasic exponential function. The majority of the 238Pu dissolved with a half-time of 900 d. The information on particle size distribution and solubility from this study was useful in assigning a radiation dose to the exposed workers, supporting the decision to administer chelation therapy, and providing a model for characterizing accident-associated aerosols in the future.

While this study has been used to evaluate the validity of the linear nonthreshold theory, the grouped nature of its data limits the usefulness of this application. Our assessment of the study's approach, including a reanalysis of its data, also indicates that the likelihood of strong, undetected confounding effects by cigarette smoking, coupled with approximations of data values and uncertainties in accuracy of data sources regarding levels of radon exposure and intensity of smoking, compromises the study's analytic power. The most clear data for estimating lung cancer risk from low levels of radon exposure continue to rest with higher-dose studies of miner populations in which projections to zero dose are consistent with estimates arising from most case-control studies regarding residential exposure.

An Nd:YLF laser, operating in continuous donut mode (TEM 01 ), has been used to heat samples inside a diamond anvil cell from both sides. Temperatures of the laser-heated sample are measured by means of spectral radiometry and by the detailed balance principle of the energy spectra. The temperature measured by the detailed balance principle is in very good agreement with values determined from the thermal radiation spectra fitted to the Planck radiation function up to 1700 K. Nuclear resonant scattering on 57 Fe-containing materials (i.e., Fe, FeO, Fe 2 O 3 ) has been studied up to 2500 K and 100 GPa. A detailed description of the laser-heating optics, temperature determination, the X-ray monochromatization, and the X-ray focusing optics is given in this article.

While transforming, the materials pass through intermediate states, which are often too transient to be captured and examined. Here we discuss the coordination change in silica as an example of a system where such interesting intermediate structural states have been quenched from shock-experiments. On the basis of these results we suggest a relation between the formation of one of these phases and the extension of the liquid-liquid transition boundary into the stability field of solid silica. We report Raman spectra of shock-retrieved vitreous silica which indicate different compression mechanisms for shock-generated amorphous silica and vitreous silica compressed at 300 K. Static recompression of shock-generated glass leads to an amorphous-crystal transition above 13 GPa.

In this investigation, a large number of laboratory and field studies that measured the bioaccumulation of inorganic chemicals in plants were reviewed. The objective was to discern whether or not the relationship between the concentration of the element in aboveground vegetation and that in soil was different if the contamination was aged in the field rather than freshly added to soil in salt solution. For two of the eight elements, selenium and cadmium, salt solution experiments were associated with greater soil-plant uptake ratios than field measurements. Thus, these are not reliable data for use in the derivation of plant uptake regressions for screening-level ecological risk assessments at field sites. In contrast, the plant uptake of arsenic, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc, when added in salt solutions, was generally within the 95%prediction limit of regressions derived from field data. Chemical form, plant taxon, soil type, experimental methodology, and aging may be as important as the source of the chemical in predicting plant uptake of inorganic chemicals from soil.

Our ultimate goal is to understand the characteristics of radio paths that involve one or more bounces from these walls. In the experiment described here, we processed impulse response data to produce power delay profiles and calculate relevant channel metrics. In particular, we investigated the scattered signal behavior for different incident angles and transmitter-receiver geometries. Using the reflected pulse width and maximum excess delay derived from each power delay profile, we found that limestone and brick walls exhibited measurable diffuse scattering. The reflected pulse from a limestone wall has more maximum excess delay spread than does a brick wall at the -15 dB power threshold The mean maximum excess delay for the reflected pulse for the limestone wall measurement configurations was more than twice that of the brick wail. With equal transmitter and receiver distances to the wall, we found that the maximum excess delay decreased and the perpendicular reflection coefficient increased with incident angle.

Accurate characterization is required to distinguish progressive degradation from benign material conditions. In nondestructive evaluation, characterization includes quantification and description of location, dimensions, shape, orientation, and composition of an indication of degradation. An imaging system that uses synthetic aperture focusing is one choice for detection and characterization of degradation in welded assemblies. In this paper, the ultrasonic imaging of the intended weld microstructure is reported. New technology invented for this purpose is described. This paper reviews how an ultrasonic imaging system that uses a synthetic lens can have a resolution that approaches the diffraction limit. A constrained solution to the coherent summation problem is presented for near real-time performance in high-resolution synthetic aperture focusing. Data are included to show that nondestructive, ultrasonic imaging of weld grains is practical.

The muon energy of physics interest ranges in a large interval from few GeV, where the b-physics studies dominate the physics program, up to the bighest values that could indicate the presence of new physics. The muon detection system of the ATLAS detector is characterized by two high-precision tracking systems, namely the inner detector (ID) and the muon spectrometer, (MS) plus a thick calorimeter that ensures a safe hadron absorption filtering with high-purity muons with energy above 3 GeV. In order to combine the muon tracks reconstructed in the ID and the MS, a MUID object-oriented software package has been developed. The purpose of the MUID procedure is to associate tracks found in the MS with the corresponding ED track and calorimeter information in order to identify muons at their production vertex with optimum parameter resolution. The performance of these two combined systems has been evaluated with Monte Carlo studies using single muons of fixed-transverse momentum and with full physics events.

The Tevatron is expected to undergo luminosity upgrades (Run lib) in the future, resulting in a higher number of interactions per beam crossing. To operate in this dense radiation environment, an upgrade of the CDF's silicon vertex detector subsystem and a corresponding upgrade of its YME-based DAQ system has been explored. Prototypes of all the Run IIb SVX DAQ components have been constructed, assembled into a test stand, and operated successfully using an adapted version of the CDF's network-capable DAQ software. In addition, a PCI-based DAQ system has been developed as a fast and inexpensive tool for silicon detector and DAQ component testing in the production phase. In this paper, we present an overview of the Run IIb silicon DAQ upgrade, emphasizing the new features and improvements incorporated into the constituent VME boards and discuss a PCI-based DAQ system developed to facilitate production tests.

In both structures, the planar platinum-containing guests are located within the molecular cleft formed by the two parallel disposed terpyridyl-Pd–Cl+ units of the receptor. The crystal structure of the adduct formed between the molecular cleft and a neutral platinum complex has interplanar distances between the host and guest of 3.24 Å, a distance shorter than that usually ascribed to π-stacking interaction (∼3.45 Å). The short distance is likely the result of metal–metal interaction between the host and guest. The second adduct, that between the dicationic molecular receptor and an anionic platinum complex, also bears the guest within the molecular cleft. The interplanar distances between the cationic terpyridyl-Pd–Cl units of the host and the anionic guest (3.21 and 3.29 Å) are also shorter than typical π-stacking distances but no metal–metal interaction is present. Coulombic attraction between the host and guest is believed to be responsible for the short interplanar separation. These data are discussed in relation to analogous systems that associate through π–π and metal–metal interaction.

The rates decrease with an increase in pH. The rate law for the oxidation of SCN− by Fe(V) was obtained as −d[Fe(V)]/dt=k10{[H+]2/([H+]2+K2[H+]+K2K3)}[Fe(V)][SCN−], where k10=5.72±0.19×106 M−1s−1, pK2=7.2, and pK3=10.1. The reaction precedes via a two-electron oxidation, which converts Fe(V) to Fe(III). Thiocyanate reacts approximately 103× faster with iron(V) than does with iron(VI).

We propose a novel mechanism for single spin detection based on the 1/f spin current noise. We postulate that the 1/f spin noise for the tunneling current is similar to the ubiquitous 1/f noise in magnetic systems. Magnetic coupling between tunneling electrons and localized spin S then leads to the peak at Larmor frequency in the power spectrum of the electric current fluctuations I 2 w . The elevated noise in the current spectrum will be spatially localized near the magnetic site. The difference in the power spectra taken at the Larmor frequency and elsewhere would reveal the peak in the spectrum. We argue that the signal-to-noise ratio for this mechanism is on the order of one. In addition, we discuss the asymmetric line shapes observed regularly with this measurement. We show that such line shapes are in accordance with the random sampling done with the tunneling electrons. Yet this predicts a line width at least one order of magnitude larger than observed experimentally, which is likely to be due to electrostatic repulsion between the tunneling electrons and temporal correlations in the tunneling process.

The minimal laser fluence (mJ ), or threshold energy, required to produce a detectable amount of particles (100 particles ) was investigated experimentally. The threshold energy was wavelength-dependent and was found to be the greatest for a pure material, alumina, then for a complex mixture, cement, and least for a simple mixture, stainless steel. The threshold energy requirement for three tested materials was found to be significantly higher for the IR (1064-nm) laser; it was 2.4–10.1 times higher than for the UV (266-nm) laser and 9.1–15.2 times higher than for the Vis (532-nm) laser. Interestingly, the UV laser has a higher threshold energy (1.5–4.0 times higher) than the Vis does. A log–log linear model was found to correlate particle production with the laser fluence of all three wavelengths. Of the three materials tested, stainless steel produced the most particles at a given fluence while alumina produced the fewest. Hypotheses of the particle generation mechanisms based upon the observations are also given here.

The number concentrations and size distributions of the particles were experimentally investigated with respect to applied laser fluence (mJcm) and wavelength. Based on the measurements, 266-nm laser ablation generates particles most efficiently. Of the three materials tested, cement was the most favorable for material removal, stainless steel was the next, and alumina was the least. The removal of particles from chromium-embedded cement by 532- and 1064-nm-wavelength lasers was less effective than from stainless steel, but more effective than from alumina. For ablation with a 266-nm laser, chromium enhanced the removal above 20Jcm. Comparisons of other characteristics such as the size and removal rate of these particles are also discussed in this paper.

By step scanning a well calibrated SSD over a limited 2θ range, a series of one-dimensional energy-dispersive data (intensity versus energy) are obtained as a function of 2θ. The entire intensity (Int) data set consists of several thousand channels covering a range of photon energies, E (up to ∼150 keV), at each of the ∼1000 2θ steps, forming a 2–1 mega-element two-dimensional array, Int(E, 2θ). These intensity data are then regrouped according to photon energies, which are defined in the multichannel SSD as individual channels, yielding a large number of intensity versus 2θ (angle-dispersive) data sets, Int(E = const., 2θ), each of which corresponds to a given photon energy or wavelength. The entire data set, selected subsets or composite scans can be used for multiple data set Rietveld refinement. Data collected both on α-Al2O3 (a NIST diffraction standard) at ambient conditions and on a mixture of MgO and Au at high pressure were analyzed using the Rietveld technique, with varying schemes of data treatment. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that data within certain energy bands (ΔE/E = ±10%) may be binned together to improve counting statistics in a composite angle-dispersive scan, even when collected with much coarser scan steps of 0.1 or 0.2°. This technique is useful for high-pressure as well as general purpose powder diffraction studies that have limited X-ray access to the sample using synchrotron radiation. Several advantages are discussed.

JO - Journal of Applied Crystallography JF - Journal of Applied Crystallography Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 37 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 967 EP - 976 SN - 00218898 AB - Spatially resolved energy dispersive X-ray diffraction, using high-energy synchrotron radiation (∼35-80 keV), was used nondestructively to obtain phase composition profiles along the radii of cylindrical cement paste samples to characterize the progress of the chemical changes associated with sulfate attack on the cement. Phase distributions were acquired to depths of ∼4 mm below the specimen surface with sufficient spatial resolution to discern features less than 200 μm thick. The experimental and data analysis methods employed to obtain quantitative composition profiles are described. The spatial resolution that could be achieved is illustrated using data obtained from copper cylinders with a thin zinc coating. The measurements demonstrate that this approach is useful for nondestructively visualizing the sometimes complex transformations that take place during sulfate attack on cement-based materials. These transformations can be spatially related to microstructure as seen by computed microtomography.

It is shown that this phenomenon is (a) general to layered crystal structures, (b) directly sensitive to the crystal termination as a result of phase contrast between layers within the substrate unit cell, and (c) closely related to systematic absences of bulk Bragg diffraction. A simple formalism is derived that relates the location of these destructive interferences to the terminating plane of a crystal using only knowledge of the substrate crystal structure. The factors that control the visibility of this phenomenon for different crystal symmetries and uniformity of the crystal termination are also explored. A special case, where X-ray reflectivity is nominally insensitive to crystal termination, is discussed to show that sensitivity can be obtained through the use of anomalous dispersion or ferroelectric displacements in the substrate lattice. Insight into this phenomenon is obtained by considering the influence of the spatial resolution on an effective electron density and the associated suitability of describing each of the layers in the structure as individual ‘pseudo-atoms’.

The quantity e142/k11, where e14 denotes the sole independent piezoelectric constant and k11 denotes a dielectric constant, was determined over the same temperature range. All the principal Cij show approximately regular temperature-change behavior: increasing with decreasing temperature, the increases being 2%–10%. One derived elastic constant, C′=(C11-C12)/2, a shear constant, shows strongly anomalous temperature behavior, decreasing continuously during cooling to 10 K, the total decrease being 5%. The quantity e142/k11 was essentially independent of temperature. Obtained by resonant-ultrasound spectroscopy, our results differ from previous studies, none of which went to 10 K, a temperature region of much practical interest for this material. From the near-zero-temperature elastic constants, we derive a Debye temperature of 235 K. The slope dC′/dT yields a negative Gruneisen parameter γ=-0.9, close to the specific-heat value.

Poly(methylphenylsilylene) was chosen as an archetype of the linear-chain polysilanes, and poly(phenylsilyne) was used as the comparable network polysilyne. Differences in bleaching behavior of the two types of polymers are explained in terms of Si–Si bonding and electronic interactions between the phenyl groups and the silicon frameworks. Wavelength-dependent effects include the degree of photodegradation of the phenyl rings and changes in polymer configuration due to photoscission and crosslinking. Absorption changes were accompanied by changes in the refractive index of the exposed regions of the samples. The refractive index modification was used to write embedded strip waveguides in the photosensitive thin films.

No appreciable changes in the frequencies of the phonons were observed, indicating that the force fields in the LuPO4 lattice are not strongly altered by Tb doping on the Lu site.

The measurements show that by breaking the symmetry of the intrinsic cubic fourfold anisotropy of the Fe film the induced unidirectional anisotropy radically changes the magnetization processes. If the exchange bias is large the induced unidirectional anisotropy is able to pull the net magnetization of the sample to the bias direction after saturation along any of the magnetic hard Fe<110> directions. However, if the exchange bias is small it will only give rise to a difference in net magnetization along the magnetic easy axes adjacent to the saturation direction. Thus, the net magnetic moment along the bias direction depends on the relative magnitudes of the cubic and the unidirectional anisotropies.

In principle, detailed atomic/electronic calculations can provide both the deformed configuration and the resulting electrical transport behavior of the tube. Here we simplify the process by refining a previously-developed nonlinear structural mechanics finite-element-based procedure for modeling mechanical behavior of carbon nanotubes to account explicitly for tube chirality. A quadrilateral element overlay procedure provides an isotropic finite element model of hexagonal cells within a graphene sheet, with the only nodal positions coincident with those of the atoms. Mechanical deformation of the nanotube structure is simulated with finite elements, and the evolving atomic [nodal] coordinates are processed within the finite element (FE) program by using a tight-binding (TB) code to calculate deformation-induced changes in electrical transport properties of the nanotube. Results of the mixed FE/TB calculations compare favorably with existing atomistic simulations of single-walled nanotubes subjected to torsion, intense lateral squeezing, and large, kink-producing bending.

The basis for a reticle is a mask blank, consisting of an ultra-low-expansion substrate and a reflective multilayer stack that is made up of Mo and Si. A potential methodology for repairing phase defects in these mask blanks is to locally irradiate it with a high-resolution electron beam to induce structural deformations that cancel out the distortion of the multilayer. We present experimental and modeling results that show that the interaction of an electron beam with a mask blank can only be understood when the contraction of the multilayer through silicide formation and substrate compaction, as well as the mechanical response of the mask blank, are considered. One of the consequences is that electron beams with energies around 10 keV that are less than 20 nm in diameter induce depressions in multilayers made up of 50 Mo/Si bilayers that have a surprisingly large diameter of about a micrometer. Our models suggest that these unacceptably large diameters can only be reduced if the compaction of the substrate is prevented.

Other simulation capabilities include three thermal comfort models, extensive daylighting and advanced fenestration capabilities, multi-zone airflow modeling, more robust HVAC equipment models, more flexible system modeling, and photovoltaic simulation. Currently, more than l O private sector companies have stated their intentions to create user interfaces for EnergyPlus.

This approach requires the repeated evaluation of building performance from multiple perspectives, as well as the communication of evaluation results between project participants over time. The resources necessary for employing sophisticated simulation tools in this process have historically been prohibitive. The alternative of making design and operation decisions based on rules-of-thumb and simplified methods can lead to suboptimal performance. Even when individual participants do employ simulation, the results are seldom communicated between participants to assure whole-building performance across the life-cycle. Software interoperability proffers a partial solution to these problems by defining a common data model for exchanging a comprehensive set of building data between software tools and their users. This paper discusses software interoperability capable of supporting data exchange between project participants and their tools across the building life-cycle. An overview is given of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), a common data model developed by the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI). A working implementation example of software interoperability including CAD, energy simulation, and performance metric tracking tools is presented within a context of life-cycle information management intended to support whole-building performance assurance.

Equations developed using additive procedures in seemingly unrelated linear regression provided statistical efficiency in total biomass estimates at the scales of both individual species and at the plant community. A single equation for each species improves efficiency in biomass estimates by 12.5% in contrast to using a single equation for the plant community. Therefore, additive equations developed in seemingly unrelated linear regression of parameter estimation are recommended to compute biomass components and total biomass for the species described.

T1 - Characterization of Upper-Troposphere Water Vapor Measurements during AFWEX Using LASE. JO - Journal of Atmospheric & Oceanic Technology JF - Journal of Atmospheric & Oceanic Technology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 21 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1790 EP - 1808 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 07390572 AB - Water vapor mass mixing ratio profiles from NASA's Lidar Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) system acquired during the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)–First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) Regional Experiment (FIRE) Water Vapor Experiment (AFWEX) are used as a reference to characterize upper-troposphere water vapor (UTWV) measured by ground-based Raman lidars, radiosondes, and in situ aircraft sensors over the Department of Energy (DOE) ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in northern Oklahoma. LASE was deployed from the NASA DC-8 aircraft and measured water vapor over the ARM SGP Central Facility (CF) site during seven flights between 27 November and 10 December 2000. Initially, the DOE ARM SGP Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) Raman lidar (CARL) UTWV profiles were about 5%–7% wetter than LASE in the upper troposphere, and the Vaisala RS80-H radiosonde profiles were about 10% drier than LASE between 8 and 12 km. Scaling the Vaisala water vapor profiles to match the precipitable water vapor (PWV) measured by the ARM SGP microwave radiometer (MWR) did not change these results significantly. By accounting for an overlap correction of the CARL water vapor profiles and by employing schemes designed to correct the Vaisala RS80-H calibration method and account for the time response of the Vaisala RS80-H water vapor sensor, the average differences between the CARL and Vaisala radiosonde upper-troposphere water vapor profiles are reduced to about 5%, which is within the ARM goal of mean differences of less than 10%. The LASE and DC-8 in situ diode laser hygrometer (DLH) UTWV measurements generally agreed to within about 3%–4%. The DC-8 in situ frost point cryogenic hygrometer and Snow White chilled-mirror measurements were drier than the LASE, Raman lidars, and corrected Vaisala RS80H measurements by about 10%–25% and 10%–15%, respectively. Sippican (formerly VIZ Manufacturing) carbon hygristor radiosondes exhibited large variabilities and poor agreement with the other measurements. PWV derived from the LASE profiles agreed to within about 3% on average with PWV derived from the ARM SGP microwave radiometer. The agreement between the LASE and MWR PWV and the LASE and CARL UTWV measurements supports the hypotheses that MWR measurements of the 22-GHz water vapor line can accurately constrain the total water vapor amount and that the CART Raman lidar, when calibrated using the MWR PWV, can provide an accurate, stable reference for characterizing upper-troposphere water vapor.

In soil and sediment environments, S. oneidensis biofilms form on mineral surfaces and are critical for mediating the metabolic interaction between this microbe and insoluble metal oxide phases. In order to develop an understanding of the molecular basis of biofilm formation, we investigated S. oneidensis biofilms developing on glass surfaces in a hydrodynamic flow chamber system. After initial attachment, growth of microcolonies and lateral spreading of biofilm cells on the surface occurred simultaneously within the first 24 h. Once surface coverage was almost complete, biofilm development proceeded with extensive vertical growth, resulting in formation of towering structures giving rise to pronounced three-dimensional architecture. Biofilm development was found to be dependent on the nutrient conditions, suggesting a metabolic control. In global transposon mutagenesis, 173 insertion mutants out of 15,000 mutants screened were identified carrying defects in initial attachment and/or early stages in biofilm formation. Seventy-one of those mutants exhibited a nonswimming phenotype, suggesting a role of swimming motility or motility elements in biofilm formation. Disruption mutations in motility genes (flhB, fliK, and pomA), however, did not affect initial attachment but affected progression of biofilm development into pronounced three-dimensional architecture. In contrast, mutants defective in mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin type IV pilus biosynthesis and in pilus retraction (pilT) showed severe defects in adhesion to abiotic surfaces and biofilm formation, respectively. The results provide a basis for understanding microbe-mineral interactions in natural environments.

This system consists of three essential components, Protein Function Groups (PFGs), PFG profiles and rules. The PFGs, established from an integrated analysis of current knowledge of protein functions from Swiss-Prot database and protein family-based sequence classifications, cover all possible cellular functions available in the database. The PFG profiles illustrate detailed protein features in the PFGs as in sequence conservations, the occurrences of sequence-based motifs, domains and species distributions. The rules, extracted from the PFG profiles, describe the clear relationships between these PFGs and all possible features. As a result, the RuleMiner is able to provide an enhanced capability for protein function analysis, such as results from the integrated sequence analysis tools for given proteins can be comparatively analyzed due to the clear feature-PFG relationships. Also, much needed guidance is readily available for such analysis. If the rules describe one-to-one (unique) relationships between the protein features and the PFGs, then these features can be utilized as unique functional identifiers and cellular functions of unknown proteins can be reliably determined. Otherwise, additional information has to be provided.

JO - Journal of Cell Science JF - Journal of Cell Science Y1 - 2004/12//12/1/2004 VL - 117 IS - 25 M3 - Article SP - 6185 EP - 6195 SN - 00219533 AB - Extracellular signaling pathways regulating myoblast differentiation and cell-cycle withdrawal are not completely understood. Stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1/Ly-6A/E) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein known for its role in T-cell activation, and recently described as a marker for regeneration-competent myoblasts. We previously determined that expression of Sca-1/Ly-6A is transiently upregulated during myocyte cell-cycle withdrawal; however, a specific function for Sca-1 in myogenesis has not been described. Here, we show that Sca-1 expression on the surface of a subpopulation of differentiating C2C12 myoblasts is maximal at the time of cell-cycle withdrawal, and that blocking Sca-1 with monoclonal antibodies or downregulating Sca-1 expression by antisense both promotes proliferation and inhibits myotube formation. Downregulating Sca-1 expression derepresses Fyn at the time of myoblast cell-cycle withdrawal, and dominant-negative and constitutively active Fyn mutants rescue and recapitulate the Sca-1 antisense phenotype, respectively. This suggests a Fyn-mediated mechanism for Sca-1 action. Thus, we demonstrate an unprecedented role for Sca-1 in early myogenesis in C2C12 cells, and propose a novel pathway from the myoblast cell surface to intracellular signaling networks controlling proliferation versus differentiation in mammalian muscle. These findings suggest that, beyond its role as a marker for muscle progenitors, Sca-1 may be an important therapeutic target for promoting muscle regeneration.

The present calculations indicate that M8C12 (M=Ti, V, Mo) nanoparticles exhibit a unique behavior compared to metal [M(001)] and metal carbide surfaces [M2C(001) and MC(001)]. It is found that the nanoparticles behave very reactive in spite of the high carbon concentration in some reactions, while surprisingly inert in other cases. Our study reveals that the unexpected activity is the result of the interplay of shifts in the metal d-bands and distortions in the geometry of the metal carbide nanoparticles. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The results of systematic investigations of the effects of weight function parameters, the degree and partial degree of IMLS, the number of data points allowed, and the optimal automatic point selection of data points up to full third-degree IMLS fits are reported.

[J. Chem. Phys. 110 (1999) 2983] analytical expressions for the downhill and uphill resonant two-color three-pulse photon echo peak shift (2C-3PEPS) of a heterodimer system are derived in the impulsive limit. It is shown how to obtain information about coupling between the components of the dimer from the combined one- and two-color peak shift measurements. Further analytical relations are derived which enable site specific information about the environment of the components, including the relative difference of the inhomogeneity and the difference between the energy-gap correlation functions on the heterodimer sites to be obtained. The simulations show only a very small influence of the laser pulse length on the measured values of coupling coefficient and other relevant quantities suggesting that current 2C-3PEPS measurements can find practical application in directly measuring couplings in excitonically coupled heterodimer complexes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

First, we explore the decomposition mechanism of monoclinic LiAlH4 into monoclinic Li3AlH6 plus face-centered cubic (fcc) Al and hydrogen. We find that this reaction proceeds through a five-step mechanism with an overall activation barrier of 36.9 kcal/mol. The simulated x ray and neutron diffraction patterns from LiAlH4 and Li3AlH6 agree well with experimental data. On the other hand, the alternative decomposition of LiAlH4 into LiAlH2 plus H2 is predicted to be unstable with respect to that through Li3AlH6. Next, we investigate thermal decomposition of Li3AlH6 into fcc LiH plus Al and hydrogen, occurring through a four-step mechanism with an activation barrier of 17.4 kcal/mol for the rate-limiting step. In the first and second steps, two Li atoms accept two H atoms from AlH6 to form the stable Li-H-Li-H complex. Then, two sequential H2 desorption steps are followed, which eventually result in fcc LiH plus fcc Al and hydrogen: Li3AlH6(monoclinic)→3 LiH(fcc)+Al(fcc)+3/2 H2 is endothermic by 15.8 kcal/mol. The dissociation energy of 15.8 kcal/mol per formula unit compares to experimental enthalpies in the range of 9.8–23.9 kcal/mol. Finally, we explore thermal decomposition of LiH, LiH(s)+Al(s)→LiAl(s)+1/2H2(g) is endothermic by 4.6 kcal/mol. The B32 phase, which we predict as the lowest energy structure for LiAl, shows covalent bond characters in the Al-Al direction. Additionally, we determine that transformation of LiH plus Al into LiAlH is unstable with respect to transformation of LiH through LiAl. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The difference in enthalpies of the two reactions is used to infer the hydration number at the quadruple point where hydrate, ice, liquid water, and methane vapor coexist. By appropriate corrections, the hydration number at points removed from the quadruple point is also determined. The most important feature of the new analysis is the direct use of the Clapeyron equation. The method avoids the use of certain simplifying assumptions that have compromised the accuracy of previous analyses in which the Clausius–Clapeyron equation was used. The analysis takes into account the finite volumes of all phases, the non-ideality of the vapor phase, and the solubility of methane in water. The results show that the enthalpy of dissociation and hydration number are constant within experimental error over the entire (hydrate, liquid, vapor) coexistence region. The results are more accurate than but entirely consistent with almost all previous studies.

Aqueous complexes of Al(III), Fe(III), and Cr(III) are known to affect KDP growth, albeit the actual step-pinning complex(es) is unknown. Using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM), we measured changes in the growth rates of the face of KDP with supersaturation in the presence of trace amounts of [Co(NH3)6]3+, [Fe(CN)6]3-, -[Co(NH3)5HPO4]+, -[Co(NH3)4HPO4]+, -[Co(NH3)4P2O7H2]+, and [Rh(H2PO4)2(H2O)4]+. Unlike in experiments using trivalent-metals, these complexes do not change stoichiometry or structure on the timescale of step motion, so that the actual molecular interactions that affect growth can be studied. Step velocity and morphology on the face are unaffected by outer-sphere coordination complexes of either charge. Surprisingly, inner-sphere phosphatoammine complexes do not affect growth rates regardless of how the phosphate group is coordinated to the metal. However, doping the growth solution with [Rh(H2PO4)2(H2O)4]+ results in profound step pinning, matching the behavior of KDP surfaces grown in the presence of Rh(III) after an equilibration period. Not only is an inner-sphere phosphate group needed to dock a trivalent metal to the step edge, but compatible hydrogen bonding of the remainder of the inner-sphere ligands with the bulk lattice is also essential.

The composite consisted of a matrix of Kanthal, a Fe-Cr-Al refractory alloy, reinforced with continuous uniaxial tungsten fibers. The stress measurements involved successively deepening a narrow slit between the fibers in the matrix, and measuring the resulting deformations with a surface strain gage. The depth profile of the in-plane residual stress components was determined from the measured strains using an eigenstrain-based extension of the residual stress calculation scheme normally used for slitting measurements. To validate some of the eigenstrain assumptions, the measured residual stresses were compared with the predictions from a thermomechanical finite element model. The model used a mesh of the actual fiber arrangement in the composite specimen rather than the commonly used unit-cell model. Compared to other techniques for measuring residual stresses in composites, the slitting measurements provided spatial resolution to a small fraction of the fiber diameter, which is useful when validating a thermomechanical model. Coincidentally, this is the first reported slitting method measurements of shear residual stresses.

Reflectance difference spectra (RDS) were taken in situ. Samples were then transferred under vacuum to an ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) chamber for analysis with AES, LEED, and STM. Clean, As-terminated Si(100) surfaces were achieved by annealing the sample at T<900°C supplying either AsH3 or hydrogen (plus background Asx). Various preparation procedures were applied and benchmarked in UHV. Extended annealing under AsH3 led to strongly faceted surfaces whereas AsH3 flow of moderate concentration, temperature, and time led to flat, two-domain, (2×1)/(1×2) reconstructed surfaces. RD spectra almost identical to RD spectra of As/Si(100) surfaces prepared in UHV with MBE were obtained by annealing the samples under AsH3. Annealing under PH3 supply bore a new, two-domain (6×3)/(3×6) surface reconstruction at low flows, and a SiP compound at high flows.

In this paper, we present our recent progress in the development of LEDs with emission between 237 and 297nm.We will discuss growth and design issues of deep-UV LEDs, including transport in Si-doped AlGaN layers. The LEDs are designed for bottom emission so that improved heat sinking and light extraction can be achieved by flip chipping. To date, we have demonstrated 2.25mW of output power at 295nm from 1mm×1mm LEDs operated at 500mA. Shorter wavelength LEDs emitting at 276nm have achieved an output power of 1.3mW at 400mA. The heterostructure designs that we have employed have suppressed deep level emission to intensities that are up to 330×lower than the primary quantum well emission.

Experiments were performed for the homoepitaxial GaAs growth while varying the growth rate, AsH3 partial pressure, and the growth temperature to find conditions that produce near vertical sidewalls and smooth surfaces. In0.15Ga0.85As heteroepitaxy was performed to evaluate if any improvement in crystal quality could be achieved for growth on the engineered template compared to planar heteroepitaxy.

T1 - Tectonic drivers for vegetation patterning and landscape evolution in the Albany River region of the Hudson Bay Lowlands. JO - Journal of Ecology JF - Journal of Ecology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 92 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1054 EP - 1070 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00220477 AB - 1 Groundwater–peatland interactions were assessed by a regional survey in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, where the rapid rate of isostatic uplift has perturbed hydrological flow systems across a 6000-year chronosequence.2 A 24 000 km2 study area along the Albany River consists of 55% fen, 35% bog and 10% mineral soil. The peatland vegetation may be further subdivided into 11 noda, which are closely related to different water levels, ranges in water chemistry, and peat landform type. Species richness generally declines with increasing water level and acidity, whereas the gradient from bog to extremely rich fen is marked by the changing abundance and occurrence of fen-indicator species.3 Bog landforms are restricted to physiographic settings where surface waters flow downwards and the bog vegetation is therefore isotated from the influence of geogenous waters. In contrast, fens are located in areas where mineral solutes are transported to the peat surface either by upwelling groundwater or by advective/dispersion along lateral flow paths.4 Peatlands spread across the study area between 6000 and 3000 bp, coinciding with the emergence of new land from the sea. The release of organic acids from the nearly continuous peat cover acidified this calcareous landscape, leading to the convergence of the surface-water chemistry into four discrete groupings of pH vs. calcium.5 Isostatic uplift, however, continues to alter the topography, fluvial geometry and groundwater flow systems of the lowlands, maintaining diverse peatland types on land surfaces of similar age. The formation of water-table mounds under the interfluvial divides and rising moraine system spurred the development of raised bogs, whereas the formation of regional seepage faces for goundwater on the margins of the moraine and rivers of the till plain maintains large areas of fen.6 Although peatland succession seems to follow predictable pathways within a given hydrogeological setting, these pathways are locally altered by tectonic drivers that continually modify surface and groundwater flow systems. In this large peat basin the pace and pathway of peatland succession seems to be driven by tectonic rather than climatic forcing.Journal of Ecology(2004)92, 1054 –1070 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Ecology is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Following the introduction and a description of the working principles of this technique, a detailed discussion of the design of the electron and the ion detection part of the spectrometer will be presented. The actual measurement represents only a minor fraction of a COLTRIMS-like experiment. We therefore give an in-depth view at the basics of the offline-analysis for the field of detecting multiple particles from a Coulomb exploding molecule. Achievable resolutions, the possibilities of background suppression via multiparticle software coincidence methods, and the improvement of electron momentum resolution by center-of-mass-correction will be discussed, followed by an example of a setup for low energy electrons (¡10 eV). Apart from the introduction to the treatment of the acquired data, a recent development on the hardware of the spectrometer will be presented. We have for the first time used a retarding field in the spectrometer’s electron arm. This provides the possibility of measuring high energy Auger electrons of 300 eV. A typical implementation for an experiment on Auger electrons from fixed-in-space nitrogen will be shown. The article will close with examples of recent measurements of photoionization of fixed-in-space carbon monoxide.

The need to refresh research programs and capabilities is as important in federally funded research institutions as it is for industry. This paper explores the critical success factors for new initiatives at a federal laboratory, and building on lessons learned through this study and in private industry, identifies a more systematic process that could potentially improve the effectiveness of these initiatives in achieving results.

A specially designed electric circuit, referred to as a bridge circuit, is required to realize the concept. However, precise equilibrium of the bridge circuit is extremely difficult to obtain because of the continuous changes in environmental conditions. In this study, the effects of an unbalanced bridge circuit are analytically and experimentally evaluated in an attempt to quantify the variations in the PZT capacitance in terms of performances in vibration testing and control. Once the dynamic characteristics of self-sensing actuation are identified and understood, methods for improving the system's performance are developed by utilizing capacitors in series and in parallel with the PZT patch. The analytical and experimental results clearly indicate that the new design scheme increases the stability of the system. However, the increase in stability comes at the cost of the increase in the power required for the control system.

This new approach exploits the use of high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) principles through the MIS, which has been placed in a blood vessel adjacent to the target site, to vastly improve the targeting of the MDCPs at this site. The performance of the MDT system was based on the ability of one of the wires in the MIS to capture the MDCPs, with the capture cross-section evaluated from a single wire HGMS correlation in the literature. A parametric study showed that the dimensionless capture cross section (with respect to the wire radius) increases with lower blood velocities (0.02–0.9m/s), higher applied magnetic field strengths (0.2–2.0T), larger MDCPs (0.2–10μm radius) containing more (10–100%) and stronger ferromagnetic material (iron>magnetite), and smaller wires (20–150μm in radius) comprised of stronger ferromagnetic material (iron>430 SS>nickel>304 SS). Reasonable capture cross-sections, ranging between 2 and 3, but as high as 12, times the radius of the wire, were easily attained with just a single wire and under extreme flow conditions of 0.9m/s that are typical of large arteries. Overall, these results show considerable promise for an HGMS-assisted MDT system with many potential applications for MIS devices.

SN - 00222461 AB - The role of the evolving array structure in the generation of crystal defects within a dendritic grain is investigated. Crystallographic perfection and associated defect structures are characterized using X-ray topography and optical microscopy. Observed structures are compared with quantitative descriptors of array order using a minimum spanning tree (MST) graph analysis. It is observed that the dendritic array structure evolves substantially over a growth length of 25 millimeters while the mosaic nature of the crystal remains relatively constant. The MST edge-length mean and standard deviation parameters are determined to be rather insensitive to differences in the local order due to statistical sampling size effects. This sample size dependence of the MST is evaluated with respect to its utility in distinguishing between square and hexagonal order, with varying degrees of superposed random noise. It is found that the MST distinguishing power is dramatically reduced when the sampling size is decreased below approximately 200 points.

A series of SiC cantilever beams varying in length are carried by a moving shuttle tethered to the substrate, and are bent in plane until fracture. The fracture strain of SiC films is calculated from the deflection of bending beams using nonlinear beam theory and determined to be 3.3% ± 0.2%, which corresponds to a fracture stress of 23.4 ± 1.4 GPa. These values are significantly higher than those for polycrystalline silicon. In addition, the crack propagation in the polycrystalline SiC films is observed to be transgranular.

SN - 00222844 AB - Although the evolutionary significance of gene duplication has long been appreciated, it remains unclear what factors determine gene duplicability. In this study we investigated whether metabolism is an important determinant of gene duplicability because cellular metabolism is crucial for the survival and reproduction of an organism. Using genomic data and metabolic pathway data from the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) andEscherichia coli, we found that metabolic proteins indeed tend to have higher gene duplicability than nonmetabolic proteins. Moreover, a detailed analysis of metabolic pathways in these two organisms revealed that genes in the central metabolic pathways and the catabolic pathways have, on average, higher gene duplicability than do other genes and that most genes in anabolic pathways are single-copy genes.

Assignments of fundamental frequencies for the three isotopomers of butadiene-1,4-d2 have been extended and improved from investigations of their Raman spectra as well as their infrared (IR) spectra. High-resolution IR spectra have been recorded for the three isotopomers, and a rotational analysis has been completed for strong bands of each species. Ground state and some upper state rotational constants have been fit. Corresponding ground state moments of inertia compare favorably with equilibrium moments of inertia obtained from B3LYP/6-311++G** theory. Two 13C isotopomers are being prepared, and an improved structural analysis of butadiene will soon be available to assess how π-electron delocalization affects its structure.

Upper-state term values have been determined from the assigned spectral subbands, and have been fitted to power-series expansions to obtain substate origins and effective B-values for the three modes. The substate origins have been grouped into related families according to systematic trends observed in the torsion–vibration energy map, but there are substantial differences from the traditional torsional patterns. There appears to be significant torsion-mediated spectral mixing, and a variety of “forbidden” torsional combination subbands with |Δυt|>1 have been observed, where υt denotes the torsional quantum number (equivalent to υ12). For example, coupling of the (υ6,υt)=(1,0) OH bend to nearby torsionally excited (υ7,υt)=(1,1) CH3-rock and (υ8,υt)=(1,1) CO-stretch states introduces (υ6,υt)=(1,0)←(0,1) subbands into the spectrum and makes the ν7+ν12-ν12 torsional hot band stronger than the ν7 fundamental. The results suggest a picture of strong coupling among the OH-bending, CH3-rocking, and CO-stretching modes that significantly modifies the traditional energy structure and raises interesting and provocative questions about the torsion–vibration identity of a number of the observed states.

In addition, precise line center positions and relative intensities were also determined. The results were obtained by fitting simultaneously 27 spectra recorded at high resolution (0.002–0.006cm−1) with two Fourier transform spectrometers and gas sample temperatures ranging from 206 to 298K. It was necessary to modify the multispectrum fitting software to accommodate constraints on the retrieved parameters of closely spaced spin–split doublets in order to successfully determine their broadening and shift parameters. The variations of the widths, shifts and their temperature dependences with the quantum numbers were investigated. Subsets of the observed linewidths were reproduced to within 3% using an empirical smoothing function.

The quenching rate varies linearly with the Nd and OH concentrations as predicted by Forster–Dexter theory. However, in contrast to theory, the OH quenching rate extrapolates to a non-zero value at low Nd3+ doping levels. It is proposed that at low Nd3+ concentrations the OH is correlated with Nd sites in the glass. The quenching strength of OH on a per ion basis is weak compared to common transition metal impurities (V, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Cr). Nevertheless, OH dominates the Nd quenching in phosphate glass because under most processing conditions OH is present at concentrations 102–103 greater than transition metal ion impurities.

Our study focused on Judd–Ofelt oscillator strength parameters: Ω2 – ligand field asymmetry and Ω6 – bond covalence. We explain the similarity between Ω2/Ω6 and the Nd2O3 solubility curve in terms of Nd partitioning into borate- and silicate-rich environments. However, Ω2/Ω6 is nearly independent of RPA for the glasses containing Nd2O3 at the solubility limit irrespective of glass composition, suggesting that average local Nd–O environment is nearly the same for all glasses.

Both heating and cooling and isothermal annealing studies have been conducted. The glass transition temperature measured at 20°C/min heating following a 20°C/min cooling of 384°C±2°C agrees well with values previously published for this glass. Using the dependence of Tg on heating and cooling rate, the onset Tg activation energy was determined to be 120kcal/mole±10kcal/mole with the peak Tg activation energy, determined by the temperature of the peak in the Tg overshoot, was observed to be 98kcal/mole±10kcal/mole. Such increases in the activation energy, while not common for such transition range measurements, is consistent with this glass exhibiting non-Arrhenius enthalpy and possibly viscous relaxation rates. The heating and cooling and annealing DSC data were converted to derivative fictive temperature data and then fit to the Tool–Narayanaswamy–Moynihan–Hodge model utilizing a stretched exponential function to describe the non-exponentiality and the Tool–Narayanaswamy equation to describe the non-linearity of the relaxation. Best fit parameters for x and β were found to be 0.53±0.05 and 0.79±0.05, respectively. The individual fits to the data are not excellent, but the overall fit to all of the data is surprisingly good given the range of the thermal treatments given to this glass. The model fits worse, however, for the isothermal annealing data. The glass appears to anneal faster than the model predicts for relatively short anneals relatively close to the Tg, but appears to anneal much slower than the model predicts for relatively long anneals relatively far from Tg. These behaviors are consistent with this metallic glass exhibiting a non-Arrhenius activation energy that increases sharply with decreasing temperatures.

For ethanol-based sols, films prepared by spin or dip coating at low humidities had a higher refractive index, lower thickness, and greater microcracking than those prepared at high humidities. The change in film properties followed an abrupt, instead of a gradual, change with humidity. This change in film microstructure can be explained by the ability/inability of capillary condensed liquid in the micropores of the colloid to evaporate prior to achieving full film strength and hence allowing the micropores to collapse. The magnitude of the shrinkage and the relative humidity at which the pores collapsed were found to depend on the colloid surface chemistry and the coating method. In contrast to the ethanol-based sols, humidity during spin coating had a negligible effect on film properties for sec-butanol and decane-based sols. This is likely due to the lower vapor pressure and/or lower water solubility of these solvents such that the pores in the latter stages of drying the films did not contain much water. Understanding this behavior has been important for improving the performance and process repeatability of using these films as anti-reflective coatings in high-peak-power laser systems.

Miniature specimens with a thickness of 0.25mm were irradiated to five levels of neutron dose in the range 0.0001–0.9 displacements per atom (dpa) at 65–100°C and deformed at room temperature at a nominal strain rate of 10−3s−1. Four modes of deformation were identified, namely three-dimensional dislocation cell formation, planar dislocation activity, fine scale twinning, and dislocation channel deformation (DCD) in which the radiation damage structure has been swept away. The modes varied with material, dose, and strain level. These observations are used to construct the first strain-neutron fluence-deformation mode maps for the test materials. Overall, irradiation encourages planar deformation which is seen as a precursor to DCD and which contributes to changes in the tensile curve, particularly reduced work hardening and diminished uniform ductility. The fluence dependence of the increase in yield stress, ΔYS=α(ϕt)n had an exponent of 0.4–0.5 for fluences up to about 3×1022nm−2 (∼0.05dpa) and 0.08–0.15 for higher fluences, consistent with estimated saturation in radiation damage microstructure but also concurrent with the acceleration of gross strain localization associated with DCD.

Prior to the irradiation experiment, samples were pre-oxidized in moist air resulting in an oxide scale that was on the order of 3μm thick. Samples were then irradiated during immersion in 473K lead–bismuth eutectic at a proton current of approximately 63nA. To assess corrosion rate in real-time, a sinusoidal voltage perturbation was applied across the oxide surface as a function of frequency and the corresponding current response was measured. This method yielded values of oxide impedance which were used in conjunction with Wagner’s oxidation theory to calculate corrosion rate. In general, proton irradiation was associated with an increase in corrosion rate.

The average size of He bubbles in the CVI SiC matrix decreases with increasing concentration of implanted H ions. Moreover, the number density of He bubbles increases with increasing irradiation temperature and amount of implanted H. At the irradiation temperature of 1000°C, He bubbles were mainly formed at grain boundary within the matrix. On the other hand, He bubbles were formed both at grain boundaries and within grains at the irradiation temperature of 1300°C. The average size of He bubbles at grain boundaries was much larger than within the grain. The average size of He bubbles in the fiber was smaller than that in the matrix in all cases.

The approach is based on a series of assumptions about the voltage spatial profile and the molecule-surface chemisorptive coupling in metal-molecule interfaces that seem to be validated for a number of junctions. The method assumes that the voltage drops entirely at the interfaces and that the junction conductance can be approximately factorized as a product of contact and molecular contributions. The value of such severely approximate methodology rests on the fact that it is very simple to use, computationally efficient, and its results can be analyzed in terms of familiar chemical concepts such as molecular orbitals and dipole moments. We have applied this procedure to the study of a series of π-conjugated oligomers of current interest for device fabrication. Our results correlate well with some recent experimental results, both reported in the literature and presented in this work, that show that for some molecular bridges there is a threshold voltage where there occurs a switching-like effect.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 108 IS - 48 M3 - Article SP - 18421 EP - 18434 SN - 15206106 AB - A low-temperature grafting approach using two CuI molecular precursors ([CuOSi(OtBu)3]4 and [CuOtBu]4) and a high-temperature exchange reaction using CuCl were utilized with a mesoporous silica support (SBA-15) to investigate the effects of catalyst preparation on the nature of copper-support interactions and site speciation. Detailed X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure studies (EXAFS) studies were performed to characterize the nature of the Cu sites and the Cu-support interactions. The freshly prepared materials from the nonaqueous grafting of [CuOSi(OtBu)3]4 (CuOSi/SBA (x.x), where x.x refers to the Cu weight %) exhibit CuI site isolation (by EXAFS and XANES). In contrast, EXAFS and XANES studies of the freshly prepared materials from the nonaqueous grafting of [CuOtBu]4 (CuOtBu/SBA (x.x)) suggest that the Cu-O-Cu linkages of the molecular precursor remain intact upon interacting with the support. Isolated CuI sites are observed as the major species in the freshly prepared material from the high-temperature exchange reaction using CuCl (CuCl/SBA (3.0)) (by XANES and EXAFS). Treatment of the materials under He at 573 K leads to loss of the organic species from the grafted materials (by 1H NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, EA, and IR spectroscopy). EXAFS and XANES studies revealed that CuCl/SBA (3.0) and the CuOSi/SBA (x.x) materials still exhibit up to 95% isolated CuI sites, whereas the CuOtBu/SBA (x.x) materials only exhibit Cu as Cu0 nanoparticles of ca. 7 Å in diameter. After calcination under O2 at 573 K, residual chloride from the high-temperature preparation of CuCl/SBA (3.0) leads to formation of crystalline CuO particles, whereas the CuOSi/SBA (x.x) and CuOtBu/SBA (x.x) materials exhibit more amorphous CuO character after an identical oxidative treatment.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 108 IS - 48 M3 - Article SP - 18601 EP - 18607 SN - 15206106 AB - Nanoparticles of aluminum metal were generated by passing an aerosol of micrometer-scale (mean 50 μm) particles in argon through an atmospheric pressure plasma torch operated at less than 1000 W. A designed experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of plasma gas flow rate, aerosol gas flow rate, and applied power on the shape, size, and size distribution of the final particles. The size and shape of the metal particles were dramatically impacted by the operating parameters employed. At relatively low powers or at high powers and short residence times, virtually all the particles are spherical. Under other conditions, the particles had spherical heads, and virtually all had tails, some quite long. The particle size distributions also were influenced by the operating conditions. Under most conditions the size distributions were log-normal, consistent with growth by agglomeration. However, under some conditions, the population of particles above or below the mode was far too great to be consistent with a log-normal distribution. For example, the particle distributions tend to show an unusual concentration of very small particles at relatively short residence times and low aluminum feed rates. The distributions tend to show an unusual concentration of large particles at relatively long residence times and high aluminum feed rates. On the basis of the data collected, some simple models of the mechanism of nanoparticle formation were postulated which should be of value in future studies of the process.

The decomposition of pure N2O was determined to occur at temperatures as low as 120 K, to follow first-order kinetics, and to lead to the stoichiometric production of N2(g) and atomic adsorbed oxygen. Lower rates and total yields are observed with increasing reaction temperatures, presumably because of the increased importance of N2O desorption and surface mobility in the overall kinetics. N2O conversion is poisoned by the adsorbed oxygen byproduct unless a reducing agent such as CO is used for their removal from the surface, in which case N2O reduction can be carried out catalytically. Steady-state reaction rates were determined for different temperatures and N2O:CO beam mixtures, and were deemed controlled by the rate of oxygen removal, not by the decomposition of the N2O. The role of adsorbed N2O as an intermediate during NO reduction is discussed.

The experimental results are interpreted via first-principles computations for the double layer manganite, La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7, and by using a simple model involving atomic d-orbitals and free electrons for the other two compounds. For all three materials a preference for the occupation of eg orbitals is found, particularly, for orbitals of symmetry. An itinerant electron contribution is adduced at all temperatures in magnetite; such a contribution also appears in La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7, but it is present only at low temperatures in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3.

The reaction of 248CmCl3 with aqueous H5IO6 under mild hydrothermal conditions results in the reduction of IO65- to IO3- anions, and the subsequent formation of Cm(IO3)3 single crystals. Crystallographic data are: (193K, MoKα, ): monoclinic, space group P21/c, , , , , , , , for 119 parameters with 1917 reflections with I>2σ(I). The structure consists of Cm3+ cations bound by iodate anions to form [Cm(IO3)8] units, where the local coordination environment around the curium centers can be described as a distorted dodecahedron. There are three crystallographically unique iodate anions within the structure; two iodates bridge between three Cm centers, and one iodate bridges between two Cm centers and has a terminal oxygen atom. The bridging of the curium centers by the iodate anions creates a three-dimensional structure. Three strong Raman bands with comparable intensities were observed at 846, 804, and 760cm-1 and correspond to the I–O symmetric stretching of the three crystallographically distinct iodate ions. The Raman profile suggests a lack of inter-ionic vibrational coupling of the I–O stretching, while intra-ionic coupling provides symmetric and asymmetric components that correspond to each iodate site. Repeated collection of X-ray diffraction data for a crystal of Cm(IO3)3 over a period of time revealed a gradual expansion of the unit cell from self-irradiation. After 71 days, the new parameters were: , , , , .

The resultant CVD mullite coating microstructures were sensitive to gas-phase composition and deposition temperature. Chemical thermodynamic calculations performed on the AlCl3--SiCl4--H2--CO2 system were used to predict an equilibrium CVD phase diagram. Results from the thermodynamic analysis, process optimization, and effects of various process parameters on coating morphology are discussed. Dense, adherent crystalline CVD mullite coatings ∼2 μm thick were successfully grown on Si3N4 substrates at 1000°C and 10.7 kPa total pressure. The resultant coatings were 001 textured and contained well-faceted grains ∼0.3-0.5 μm in size.

Anode samples were reduced in a gas mixture of 4% hydrogen and 96% argon for different periods of time at 800°C and their Young's and shear moduli were determined afterward at room temperature using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and line pulse excitation. It was found that the magnitude of Young's and shear moduli decreased significantly with increasing fraction of reduced NiO and that the magnitude of the elastic moduli of a fully reduced Ni--YSZ anode was ∼45% lower than that of unreduced NiO--YSZ. Because the elastic moduli of NiO are close to those of Ni, the observed decrease in the magnitude of the elastic moduli was found to be caused mainly by the significant increase in the porosity of the sample as a result of NiO reduction. Expressions are presented for the amount of porosity and the magnitude of the elastic moduli as a (unction of the fraction of reduced NiO.

In contrast to its bulk counterpart, a decrease of the Born's transverse effective charge of these nanocrystals was observed with increasing pressure from measurements of the longitudinal and transverse optical phonon modes (longitudinal optical--transverse optical) splitting. This is therefore indicative of a diminishing ionicity of nanocrystalline 3C-SiC on compression.

This emitter electrode geometry provided enhanced mass transport to the electrode surface to exploit the inherent electrochemistry of the electrospray process for efficient analyte oxidation at flow rates up to 800 μL/min. An upstream current loop in the electrospray source circuit, formed by a grounded contact to solution upstream of the emitter electrode, was utilized to increase the magnitude of the total current at the emitter electrode to overcome current limits to efficient oxidation. The resistance in this upstream current loop was altered to control the current and “dial-in” the extent of analyte oxidation, and thus, the abundance and nature of the oxidized analyte ions observed in the mass spectrum. The oxidation of reserpine to form a variety of products by multiple electron transfer reactions and oxidation of the ferroceneboronate derivative of pinacol to form the ES active radical cation were used to study and to illustrate the performance of this new emitter electrode design. Flow injection, continuous infusion, and on-line HPLC experiments were performed.

To date, the retrieval algorithm has only been assessed using instantaneous cloud fields in which time series were mimicked via the frozen turbulence assumption. In this study, time series of radiation data are generated for use by the algorithm from a series of snapshots of an evolving and advecting cloud field, with values of optical depth retrieved for clouds occurring at the midpoint of the time series. This approach resembles conditions encountered in the field much better than those arising from the convenient frozen turbulence assumption. Values of optical depth are also retrieved for the same cloud field by employing the frozen turbulence approach. For the field of broken, shallow cumulus considered here, differences between the two sets of retrievals are small. This suggests that the encouraging results obtained thus far for this retrieval algorithm have not been secured falsely by the frozen turbulence assumption.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 78 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 13232 EP - 13252 SN - 0022538X AB - Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are potentially important tools in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine design. A few rare MAbs have been intensively studied, but we still have a limited appreciation of their neutralization breadth. Using a pseudovirus assay, we evaluated MAbs from clade B-infected donors and a clade B HIV+ plasma against 93 viruses from diverse backgrounds. Anti-gp120 MAbs exhibited greater activity against clade B than non-B viruses, whereas anti-gp41 MAbs exhibited broad interclade activity. Unexpectedly, MAb 4E10 (directed against the C terminus of the gp41 ectodomain) neutralized all 90 viruses with moderate potency. MAb 2F5 (directed against an epitope adjacent to that of 4El0) neutralized 67% of isolates, but none from clade C. Anti-gp120 MAb b12 (directed against an epitope overlapping the CD4 binding site) neutralized 50% of viruses, including some from almost every clade. 2G12 (directed against a high-mannose epitope on gp120) neutralized 41% of the viruses, but none from clades C or E. MAbs to the gp120 V3 loop, including 447-52D, neutralized a subset of clade B viruses (up to 45%) but infrequently neutralized other clades (≤7%). MAbs b6 (directed against the CD4 binding site) and X5 (directed against a CD4-induced epitope of gp120) neutralized only sensitive primary clade B viruses. The HIV+ plasma neutralized 70% of the viruses, including some from all major clades. Further analysis revealed five neutralizing immunotypes that were somewhat associated with clades. As well as the significance for vaccine design, our data have implications for passive-immunization studies in countries where clade C viruses are common, given that only MAbs b12 and 4E10 were effective against viruses from this clade.

T1 - Probing molecular-level transformations of dissolved organic matter: insights on photochemical degradation and protozoan modification of DOM from electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry JO - Marine Chemistry JF - Marine Chemistry Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 92 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 37 SN - 03044203 AB - Abstract: Molecular-level characterization of natural organic matter (NOM) has been elusive due to the inherent complexity of natural organic mixtures and to the fact that individual components are often polar and macromolecular. Electrospray ionization (ESI) is a “soft” ionization technique that ionizes polar compounds from aqueous solution prior to injection into a mass spectrometer. The highest resolution and mass accuracy of compounds within NOM have been achieved when ESI is combined with an ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometer such as the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS). With this technique, individual molecules within a variety of natural organic mixtures can be detected and their elemental composition can be determined. At low mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio, the resolution is high enough to assign exact molecular formulas allowing specific components of these mixtures to be identified. In addition to molecular identification, we can now use ESI FT-ICR MS to examine molecular-level changes in different organic mixtures as a function of relevant geo-processes, such as microbial alterations and photochemistry. Here we present the results from the application of ESI FT-ICR MS to two geochemical questions: (1) the effect of photoirradiation on the molecular composition of fulvic acids and (2) the role of protozoan grazers in the modification of DOM in aquatic systems.

The localized increase in particle concentration under the indentation has been proposed as a possible cause. In this study, a direct characterization is undertaken using an aluminum/silicon carbide metal matrix composite. Quantitative metallography on the post-indented material is carried out to measure the particle volume fraction. A distinct increase in particle concentration induced by the indentation is found. The spatial distribution of particle concentration is also examined in detail. The residual compressive stress field remained in the material after unloading, as illustrated by the finite element analysis, is shown to correlate with the experimental measurement of the particle concentration.

The method incorporates secondary structure predictions (which describe the more basic elements of the protein structure) into the starting structures, and thereafter minimizes using a purely physics-based energy model. Results show this method to be particularly successful on protein targets where structural information from similar proteins is unavailable, i.e., the most difficult targets for most protein structure prediction methods. Our best result to date is on a protein target containing over 4000 atoms and ~12,000 cartesian coordinates.

JO - Microbiology (13500872) JF - Microbiology (13500872) Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 150 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 4189 EP - 4197 SN - 13500872 AB - Originally identified from eukaryotes, the Mg2+- or Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatases (PPMs) are a diverse group of enzymes whose members include eukaryotic PP2C and some prokaryotic serine/threonine phosphatases. In a previous study, unexpectedly large numbers of PPMs were identified in two Streptomyces genomes. In this work, a phylogenetic analysis was performed with all the PPMs available from a wide variety of microbial sources to determine the evolutionary origin of the Streptomyces PPM proteins. Consistent with earlier hypotheses, the results suggested that the microbial PPMs were relatively recent additions from eukaryotic sources. Results also indicated that the Streptomyces PPMs were divided into two major subfamilies at an early stage of their emergence in Streptomyces genomes. The first subfamily, which contains only six Streptomyces PPMs, possesses a catalytic domain whose sequence and architecture are similar to that of eukaryotic PPMs; the second subfamily contains 89 Streptomyces PPMs that lack the 5a and 5b catalytic domain motifs, similar to the PPMs SpollE and RsbU of Bacillus subtilis. Significant gene duplication was observed for the PPMs in the second subfamily. In addition, more than half (54%) of the Streptomyces PPMs from the second subfamily were found to have at least one additional sensory domain, most commonly the PAS or the GAF domain. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these domains tended to be clustered according to the putative physiological functions rather than taxonomic relationship, implying that they might have arisen as a result of domain recruitment in a late evolutionary stage. This study provides an insight into how Streptomyces spp. may have expanded their PPM-based signal transduction networks to enable them to respond to a greater range of environmental changes.

The mole ratio of ferric and sulphate species in the precipitates obtained during the kinetic studies was analysed. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGAs) and differential thermal analyses (DTAs) were conducted to examine the weight losses from ammonium jarosite during its thermal decomposition. Based on the results of both the thermodynamic studies and the experimental test work, a possible reaction mechanism for the formation of ammonium jarosite is proposed. This proposed reaction mechanism and the possible multiple pathways by which Jarosite precipitation could occur are discussed. When ammonia solution is used as the ammonium ion source, the formation of ammonium jarosite is believed to start with the species FeSO4+ and Fe(OH)3. Solid basic ferric sulphates, [Fe(OH)2]2SO4 and Fe(OH)SO4, may be precursors for the formation of ammonium jarosite. Fe(OH)3 can undergo reactions forming hydroxyl ferric Fe(OH)2+ ions and these are able to form basic ferric sulphates. There appears to be a gradual solid state conversion of the basic ferric sulphates/hydroxides into jarosite over time.

We run high-resolution adiabatic hydrodynamic simulations adopting theWMAPcosmology to study the temperature and density distribution of the intergalactic medium (IGM). To quantify possible simulation limitations, we runself-similar simulations. Our analytical model onis based on energy conservation and matter clustering and has no free parameter. Combining both simulations and analytical models thus provides the precision modelling ofand. We find that the simulated temperature probability distribution function andshows good convergence.

It passes all tests of self-similar simulations andWMAPsimulations and is able to predictandto several per cent accuracy.

The main result is an analytical estimate for the maximum allowable time step. This estimate shows that as the grid is refined the time step becomes independent of the mesh spacing and instead depends on the length scale, α, a parameter of the model. The α model achieves this result through changes in the equations of motion that reduce the frequency of the linear waves at high wavenumbers. This type of reduction in the frequency of high-wavenumber waves is also a characteristic of time-implicit numerical methods. Consequently, an analogy is drawn between the two by comparing the numerical method's modified equation to the partial differential equation of the α model. Fourier analysis and numerical simulations are also used to compare a third-order Adams–Bashforth α model simulation to the well-known implicit numerical method of Dukowicz and Smith.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 4 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2315 EP - 2321 SN - 15306984 AB - When the Debye length is on the order of or larger than the height of a nanofluidic channel containing surface charge, a unipolar solution of counterions is generated to maintain electrical neutrality. A pressure-gradient-driven flow under such conditions can be used for ion separation, which forms the basis for electrochemomechanical energy conversion. The current-potential (I-ϕ) characteristics of such a battery were calculated using continuum dynamics. When the bulk concentration is large and the channel does not become a unipolar solution of counterions, both the current and potential become small. On the other hand, when bulk concentration is so much smaller, the mass diffusion becomes the rate-controlling step and the potential drops rapidly in the high current density region. When the Debye length of the solution is about half of the channel height, the efficiency is maximized.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 4 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2361 EP - 2365 SN - 15306984 AB - First principles electronic structure simulations are used to study the atomistic detail of the interaction between organic surfactant molecules and the surfaces of CdSe semiconductor nanoparticles. These calculations provide insights into the relaxed atomic geometry of organics bound to semiconductor surfaces at the nanoscale as well as the electronic charge transfer between surface atoms and the organics. We calculate the binding energy of phosphine oxide, phosphonic and carboxylic acids, and amine ligands to a range of CdSe nanoparticle facets. The dominant binding interaction is between oxygen atoms in the ligands and cadmium atoms on the nanoparticle surfaces. The most strongly bound ligands are phosphonic acid molecules, which bind preferentially to the facets forming the sides of CdSe nanorods. The calculated relative binding strengths of ligands to different facets support the hypothesis that these binding energies control the relative growth rates of different facets, and therefore the resulting geometry of the nanoparticles.

The quantum dot molecule comprises a shallow strain relieving pit, defined by {105} facets, and bounded by 4-fold {105}-faceted islands. Through topographic “forcing functions” fabricated on the substrate surface, the quantum dot molecules may be organized into arrays, enabling hierarchical structures spanning length scales from tens of nanometers to macroscopic dimensions.

This weakening is due to the swelling of the lamellar domain by nanoparticles and the displacement of polymer by elastically inert fillers. Despite the overall decrease in the tensile modulus of a polydomain sample, the shear modulus for a single domain is unaffected by fillers.

Wetting at high temperature is usually accompanied by interdiffusion and chemical reaction, but the forces that drive reactive spreading and the mechanisms that control its kinetics have been very poorly understood. The unsolved challenge has been to link macroscopic measurements such as the dynamic contact angle or the speed of a moving liquid front to phenomena occurring at the microscopic and even atomic level in the vicinity of the triple solid–liquid–vapour junction. We have taken a big step towards meeting this challenge. Our systematic analysis of the spreading of metal–metal systems with varying degrees of mutual solubility allows us to report on the fundamental differences between the mechanisms controlling spreading of organic liquids and liquid metals and on formation of Marangoni films driven by surface-tension gradients in high-temperature systems.

Brief practice during repeat fMRI scanning (20 min) did not change performance accuracy or reaction times (RT), but decreased activation bilaterally in the inferior, middle, and superior frontal gyri, superior temporal gyrus, thalamus, and cerebellum. Increased attentional load decreased performance accuracy but not RT, and increased activation bilaterally in the inferior, posterior, and superior parietal cortices, thalamus, cerebellum, and frontal gyri. These changes suggest that practice decreases dependency on thalamus, cerebellum, and the frontal cortices for controlled task processing possibly due to increased efficiency of the attentional network. Since short-term practice-effects in the prefrontal cortex may be similar to attentional load-effects, studies of attentional load need to take practice effects into account.

Reynolds-stress and turbulent Maxwell-stress closure models will necessarily introduce a suite of transport coefficients, all of which are to some degree model-dependent. One of the most important coefficients is the relaxation time for the turbulent Maxwell stress, which until recently has been relatively ignored. We discuss this relaxation within the context of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in steady high fluid Reynolds-number, high magnetic-Reynolds-number shearing flows. The relaxation time for the turbulent Maxwell stress is not constrained by the shear time scale, in contrast with Reynolds-stress closure models for purely hydrodynamical turbulence. As a result, the anisotropy of the turbulent stress tensor for magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, even for the case of zero mean-field considered here, cannot be neglected. This shear-generated anisotropy can be interpreted as being due to an effective turbulent elasticity, in analogy to the Boussinesq turbulent viscosity. We claim that this turbulent elasticity should be important for any astrophysical problem in which the turbulent stress in quasi-steady shear has been treated phenomenologically with an effective viscosity.

We identify two gain mechanisms, one pressure dependent, and the other independent of the applied pressure. We conclude that the pressure-dependent signals are from avalanche gain in gas bubbles at the tip of the needle, while the pressure-independent pulses are from avalanche gain in liquid. We measure the decay time spectra of photons from both types of avalanches. The decay times from the pressure-dependent pulses decrease (increase) with the applied pressure (high voltage), while the decay times from the pressure-independent pulses are approximately independent of pressure or high voltage. For our operating conditions, the collected charge distribution from avalanches is similar for 60 or 122keV photon sources. With krypton additives, instead of Xe, we measure behavior consistent with only the pressure-dependent pulses. Neon and TMS were also investigated as additives, and designs for practical detectors were tested.

This mechanism is testable because the resulting pseudo-Goldstone bosons, of mass mG , couple strongly with the neutrinos, affecting the acoustic oscillations during the eV era of the early universe that generate the peaks in the CMB radiation. Characteristic signals result over a very wide range of (f, mG ) because of a change in the total relativistic energy density and because the neutrinos scatter rather than free-stream. Thermodynamics allows a precise calculation of the signal, so that observations would not only confirm the late-time neutrino mass mechanism, but could also determine whether the neutrino spectrum is degenerate, inverted or hierarchical and whether the neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana. The flavor symmetries could also give light sterile states. If the masses of the sterile neutrinos turn on after the MeV era, the LSND oscillations can be explained without upsetting big bang nucleosynthesis, and, since the sterile states decay to lighter neutrinos and pseudo-Goldstones, without giving too much hot dark matter.

The defects observed in copper-based alloys are composed of vacancy clusters in the form of stacking fault tetrahedra and/or prismatic dislocation loops that impede the motion of dislocations. The mechanical behaviour of irradiated copper alloys exhibits increased yield strength, decreased total strain to failure and decreased work hardening as compared lo their unirradiated behaviour. Above certain critical defect concentrations (neutron doses), the mechanical behaviour exhibits distinct upper yield points. In this paper, we describe the formulation of an internal state variable model for the mechanical behaviour of such materials subject to these (irradiation) environments. This model has been developed within a multiseale materials-modelling framework, in which molecular dynamics simulations of dislocation radiation defect interactions inform the final coarse-grained continuum model. The plasticity model includes mechanisms for dislocation density growth and multiplication and for irradiation defect density evolution with dislocation interaction. The general behaviour of the constitutive (homogeneous material point) model shows that as the defect density increases, the initial yield point increases and the initial strain hardening decreases. The final coarse-grained model is implemented into a finite element framework and used lo simulate the behaviour of tensile specimens with varying levels of irradiation-induced material damage. The simulation results compare favourably with the experimentally observed mechanical behaviour of irradiated materials.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2004/12//12/1/2004 VL - 84 IS - 34 M3 - Article SP - 3705 EP - 3716 SN - 14786435 AB - The achievement of both high strength and high electrical conductivity in bulk materials is challenging in the development of multifunctional materials, because the majority of the strengthening methods reduce the electrical conductivity of the materials significantly. At room temperature, dislocations have little scattering effect on conduction electrons. Thus, a high density of dislocations can strengthen conductors without significantly increasing the resistivity. However, at room temperature (RT). which is defined as 295±2 K in this paper, deformation can only introduce a limited number of dislocations in pure metals due to dislocation annihilation, i.e. recovery. This limitation is expanded by a well-controlled liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). which is defined as 77 ±0.5 K in this paper, deformation process that permits accumulation of both nanotwins and a high density of dislocations accompanied by significantly less recovery than that in RT-deformed samples. The dislocations are organized into relined dislocation cells, with thicker cell boundaries in LNT-deformed samples than those deformed at RT. LNT deformation stores more energy in the material than RT deformation. LNT deformation produces bulk pure Cu with a yield strength about 1.5 times that of RT-deformed Cu. The RT resistivity increase is less than 5% compared with that of annealed Cu.

Preliminary detection of candidate road centerline components is performed with Anti-parallel-edge Centerline Extraction (ACE). This is followed by constructing a road vector topology with a fuzzy grouping model that links nodes from a self-organized mapping of the ACE components. Following topology construction, a Self-Supervised Road Classification (SSRC) feedback loop is implemented to automate the process of training sample selection and refinement for a road class, as well as deriving practical spectral definitions for non-road classes. SSRC demonstrates a potential to provide dramatic improvement in road extraction results by exploiting spectral content. Road centerline extraction results are presented for three 1 m color-infrared suburban scenes which show significant improvement following SSRC.

The CGL equation has both resonant spatially uniform solutions and resonant two-phase standing-wave pattern solutions such as stripes or labyrinths. The spatially uniform solutions form a tongue-shaped region in the parameter plane of the forcing amplitude and frequency. But the parameter range of resonant standing-wave patterns does not coincide with the tongue of spatially uniform oscillations. On one side of the tongue the boundary of resonant patterns is inside the tongue and is formed by the nonequilibrium Ising Bloch bifurcation and the instability to traveling waves. On the other side of the tongue the resonant patterns extend outside the tongue forming a parameter region in which standing-wave patterns are resonant but uniform oscillations are not. The standing-wave patterns in that region appear similar to those inside the tongue but the mechanism of their formation is different. The formation mechanism is studied using a weakly nonlinear analysis near a Hopf–Turing bifurcation. The analysis also gives the existence and stability regions of the standing-wave patterns outside the resonant tongue. The analysis is supported by numerical solutions of the forced complex Ginzburg–Landau equation.

The arrival of the shock front, passage of the shock tail, and onset of heat diffusion are clearly visualized as velocity profiles of suspended micron-size particles. Measured particle velocities are compared to calculated normal fluid velocities. Other observations include a critical energy flux for the onset of quantum turbulence and random motion of particles behind the shock. These results indicate that PIV may be a useful tool in the study of second sound and superfluid turbulence.

A detailed analysis of the contributions to the reconnection electric field shows that both bulk inertia and pressure-based quasiviscous processes are important for the electrons. Analytic scaling demonstrates that conventional approximations for the electron pressure tensor behavior in the dissipation region fail, and that heat flux contributions need to be accounted for. Based on the evolution equation of the heat flux three tensor, which is derived in this paper, an approximate form of the relevant heat flux contributions to the pressure tensor is developed, which reproduces the numerical modeling result reasonably well. Based on this approximation, it is possible to develop a scaling of the electron current layer in the central dissipation region. It is shown that the pressure tensor contributions become important at the scale length defined by the electron Larmor radius in the guide magnetic field.

JO - Physics of Plasmas JF - Physics of Plasmas Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 11 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 5507 EP - 5519 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 1070664X AB - Shock-accelerated material interfaces are potentially unstable to both the Richtmyer–Meshkov and Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instabilities. Shear that develops along with these instabilities in turn drives the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. When driven by strong shocks, the evolution and interaction of these instabilities is further complicated by compressibility effects. This paper details a computational study of the formation of jets at strongly driven hydrodynamically unstable interfaces, and the interaction of these jets with one another and with developing spikes and bubbles. This provides a nonlinear spike-spike and spike-bubble interaction mechanism that can have a significant impact on the large-scale characteristics of the mixing layer. These interactions result in sensitivity to the initial perturbation spectrum, including the relative phases of the various modes, that persists long into the nonlinear phase of instability evolution. Implications for instability growth rates, the bubble merger process, and the degree of mix in the layer are described. Results from relevant deceleration RT experiments, performed on OMEGA [J. M. Soures et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 2108 (1996)], are shown to demonstrate some of these effects.

M. Marinak, G. D. Kerbel, N. A. Gentile, O. Jones, D. Munro, S. Pollaine, T. R. Dittrich, and S. W. Haan, Phys. Plasmas 8, 2275 (2001)]. These experiments utilized two diagnostics sensitive to the hydrodynamics of gasbag targets: a fast x-ray framing camera (FXI) and a SRS streak spectrometer. With a newly implemented nonlocal thermal transport model, HYDRA is able to reproduce many features seen in the FXI images and the SRS streak spectra. Experimental and simulated side-on FXI images suggest that propagation can be explained by classical laser absorption and the resulting hydrodynamics. Synthetic SRS spectra generated from the HYDRA results reproduce the details of the experimental SRS streak spectra. Most features in the synthetic spectra can be explained solely by axial density and temperature gradients. The total SRS backscatter increases with initial gasbag fill density up to ≈0.08 times the critical density, then decreases. Data from a near-backscatter imaging camera show that severe beam spray is not responsible for the trend in total backscatter. Filamentation does not appear to be a significant factor in gasbag hydrodynamics. The simulation and analysis techniques established here can be used in ongoing experimental campaigns on the Omega laser facility and the National Ignition Facility.

JO - Plant Physiology JF - Plant Physiology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 136 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 4237 EP - 4245 SN - 00320889 AB - Hexadeca 7,10,13-trienoic acid (16:3Δ7,10,13) is one of the most abundant fatty acids in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and a functional component of thylakoid membranes, where it is found as an sn-2 ester of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. The Arabidopsis fad5 mutant lacks activity of the plastidial falmitoyl-monogalactosyldiacylglycerol Δ7-desaturase FAD5, and is characterized biochemically by the absence of 16:3Δ7,10,13 and physiologically by reduced chlorophyll content and a reduced recovery rate after photoinhibition. While the fad5 mutation has been mapped, the FAD5 gene was not unambiguously identified, and a formal functional characterization by complementation of fad5 mutant phenotypes has not been reported. Two candidate genes (At3g15850 and At3g15870) predicted to encode plastid-targeted desaturases at the fad5 chromosomal locus were cloned from fad5 plants and sequenced. A nonsense mutation changing codon TGG (Trp-98) into TGA (stop) was identified in At3g15850 (ADS3), whereas the fad5 At3g15870 allele was identical to wild type (after correction of a sequencing error in the published wild-type genomic At3g15870 sequence). Expression of a genomic clone or cDNA for wild-type At3g15850 conferred on fad5 plants the ability to synthesize 16:3Δ7,10,13 and restored leaf chlorophyll content. Arabidopsis carrying a T-DNA insertion in At3g15870 had wild-type levels of both 16:3Δ7,10,13 and chlorophyll. Together, these data formally prove that At3g15850 is FADS. Interestingly, the fad5 phenotype was partially complemented when extraplastidial Δ9- desaturases of the Arabidopsis desaturase (ADS) family were expressed as fusions with a plastidial transit peptide. Tight correlation between leaf 16:3Δ7,10,13 levels and chlorophyll content suggests a role for plastidial fatty acid desaturases in thylakoid formation.

To investigate this, we systematically explored the conservation of regulatory networks in fungi by examining the cis-regulatory elements that govern the expression of coregulated genes. We first identified groups of coregulated Saccharomyces cerevisice genes enriched for genes with known upstream or downstream cis-regulatory sequences. Reasoning that many of these gene groups are coregulated in related species as well, we performed similar analyses on orthologs of coregulated S. cerevisiae genes in 13 other ascomycete species. We find that many species-specific gene groups are enriched for the same flanking regulatory sequences as those found in the orthologous gene groups from S. cerevisiae, indicating that those regulatory systems have been conserved in multiple ascomycete species. In addition to these clear cases of regulatory conservation, we find examples of cis-element evolution that suggest multiple modes of regulatory diversification, including alterations in transcription factor-binding specificity, incorporation of new gene targets into an existing regulatory system, and cooption of regulatory systems to control a different set of genes. We investigated one example in greater detail by measuring the in vitro activity of the S. cerevisiae transcription factor Rpn4p and its orthologs from Candida albicans and Neurospora crosso. Our results suggest that the DNA binding specificity of these proteins has coevolved with the sequences found upstream of the Rpn4p target genes and suggest that Rpn4p has a different function in N. crosso.

Small angle neutron scattering from 7 to 15% samples reveals domains about 10nm in radius formed by the association of ∼200 polystyrene blocks. Dynamic light scattering measurements on 8 and 9% samples showed three modes: a fast diffusive mode related to the collective diffusion in semidilute solutions/gels; a relaxational mode related to the local dynamics of polystyrene domains trapped in the gel formed by bridging the domains with the polybutadiene chains; and a very slow diffusive mode. The relaxational dynamics persisted over the entire temperature range, becoming faster with increasing temperature, indicating a decreased microviscosity at higher temperatures. The slow dynamics seems to be connected with heterogeneities in the physical gel due to microsyneresis and almost disappeared above 50°C. Macroscopic phase separation into two liquid phases was observed in a dilute solution of the un-associated copolymer, and into a liquid and gel phase at higher concentrations. The absence of flower-like micelles in dilute solutions and the macroscopic phase seperation suggest that the gels in the pentablock are formed by random association of multiplet domains and not by bridging of micellar domains.

The four reference I–V curves are measured at two irradiance and two PV module temperature levels and contain all the essential PV module characteristic information for performing the bilinear interpolation. The interpolation is performed first with respect to open‐circuit voltage to account for PV module temperature, and second with respect to short‐circuit current to account for irradiance. The translation results over a wide range of irradiances and PV module temperatures agree closely with measured values for a group of PV modules representing seven different technologies. Root‐mean‐square errors were 1·5% or less for the I–V curve parameters of maximum power, voltage at maximum power, current at maximum power, short‐circuit current, and open‐circuit voltage. The translation is applicable for determining the performance of a PV module for a specified test condition, or for PV system performance modeling. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The molecular-scale structure of this interfacial layer, however, is poorly constrained, and correlations between macroscopic phenomena and molecular-scale processes remain speculative. The application of high-resolution X-ray scattering techniques has begun to provide substantial new insights into the molecular-scale structure of the mineral–water interface. In this review, we describe the characteristics of synchrotron-based X-ray scattering techniques that make them uniquely powerful probes of mineral–water interfacial structures and discuss the new insights that have been derived from their application. In particular, we focus on efforts to understand the structure and distribution of interfacial water as well as their dependence on substrate properties for major mineral classes including oxides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, silicates, halides and chromates. We compare these X-ray scattering results with those from other structural and spectroscopic techniques and integrate these to provide a conceptual framework upon which to base an understanding of the systematic variation of mineral–water interfacial structures.

Such higher-level data often correspond to train, subsystem or system failure events. The fully Bayesian approach also automatically propagates the highest-level data to lower levels in the fault tree. A simple example illustrates our approach. The optimal allocation of resources for collecting additional data from a choice of different level events is also presented. The optimization is achieved using a genetic algorithm.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 3 EP - 19 SN - 10515658 AB - Many individual scientific and technical disciplines contribute to the multidisciplinary field of remediation science and practice. Because of the relative youth of this enterprise, disciplinary interests sometimes compete and conflict with the primary goal of achieving protective, cost-effective, efficient projects. Convergence of viewpoints toward a more mature, common vision is needed. In addition, cleanup programs are changing under the influence of Brownfields initiatives and the needs of environmental insurance underwriters. Investigations and cleanups increasingly need to be affordable, yet transparent and defensible. Disciplinary goals and terminology need to better reflect real-world site conditions while being more supportive of project needs. Yet, technical considerations alone will not ensure project success; better integration of human factors into project management is also required. The Triad approach is well placed to catalyze maturation of the remediation field because it emphasizes (1) a central theme of managing decision uncertainty; (2) unambiguous technical communications; (3) shortened project life-cycles and multidisciplinary interactions that rapidly build professional expertise and provide feedback to test and perfect programmatic and field practices; and (4) concepts from 'softer' sciences (such as economics, cognitive psychology, and decision theory) to capture important human factors. Triad pushes the cleanup industry toward an integrated, practical, second-generation paradigm that can successfully manage the complexities of today's cleanup projects. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 69 EP - 77 SN - 10515658 AB - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (US ACE) is responsible for conducting the cleanup of radiological contaminated properties as part of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. One property is the Rattlesnake Creek (RSC) portion of the Ashland sites. The RSC stream sediments are contaminated with thorium-230, radium-226, and uranium. The US ACE is closing RSC using protocols contained within the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM). At RSC, the US ACE developed site-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCGL) cleanup requirements consistent with the MARSSIM guidance. Because of uncertainty about the distribution of contamination within the creek, the US ACE used the Triad approach to collect data and design remedial actions. Systematic planning helped target the areas of concern, develop a conceptual site model, and identify data gaps to be addressed before remediation plans were finalized. Preremediation sampling and analysis plans were designed to be explicitly consistent with final status survey requirements, allowing data sets to support both excavation planning needs and closure requirements in areas where contamination was not encountered above DCGL standards. Judicious use of real- time technologies such as X-ray fluorescence and gamma walkover surveys minimized expensive off- site alpha spectrometry analyses, and at the same time provided the ability to respond to unexpected field conditions. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Better monitoring practices, improved scientific understanding, and an advanced regulatory framework are being sought through a team effort that engages technology developers from academia, private industry, and government laboratories; site cleanup managers; stakeholders; and federal and state regulators. The team works collaboratively toward the common goals of reducing risk, accelerating cleanup, reducing cost, and minimizing environmental disruption. Cutting-edge scientific advances are being combined with experience and sound environmental engineering in a broadly integrated and comprehensive approach that exemplifies socalled 'third-generation R&D.' The project is potentially a model for other cleanup activities. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thirty-four remediation professionals provided general information for 191 sites where MNA was evaluated, and site-specific data for 45 chlorinated solvent plumes being remediated by MNA. Respondents indicated that MNA was precluded as a remedy at only 23 percent of all sites where evaluated as a remedial option. Leading factors excluding MNA as a remedial approach were the presence of an expanding plume and an unreasonably long estimated remediation time frame. MNA is being used as the sole remedy at about 30 percent of the sites, and 33 percent are implementing MNA in conjunction with source zone remediation. The remaining sites are implementing MNA with plume remediation (13 percent), source containment (9 percent), or some other strategy (16 percent). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The loading process consists of two steps. First, gas is condensed on a designated cold surface in a pre-evacuated system; second, the solidified sample is loaded into a DAC at liquid-nitrogen temperature. A hundred milliliters of gas at ambient condition is typically required to produce a solidified sample. The use of solid sample material for DAC loading is beneficial to a clean loading process. We demonstrated this technique by loading isotopically enriched (99.925%-83Kr) krypton into a DAC. 200 ml of this rare and expensive gas were solidified with 99.6% efficiency and almost completely recovered.

The peak power of HEPW lasers will be determined by the aperture and damage threshold of the final dielectric grating in the pulse compressor and final focusing optics. We have developed a short-pulse damage test station for accurate determination of the damage threshold of the optics used on future HEPW lasers. Our damage test station is based on a highly stable, high-beam-quality optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) operating at 1053 nm at a repetition rate of 10 Hz. We present the design of our OPCPA system pumped by a commercial Q-switched pump laser and the results of the full system characterization. Initial short-pulse damage experiments in the far field using our system have been performed.

The method is applicable to energies at and below the Ca K edge (4038.5 eV). The cell design incorporates 25-μm-thick×700 μm diameter diamond x-ray windows in a Poulter-type seal geometry. X-ray focusing mirrors were used to reduce both the horizontal and vertical beam size to about 200 μm so that the incident beam would pass cleanly through the 300 μm aperture of the cell. Pathlengths in the range from 50 to 1000 μm can be selected with appropriate spacers. The maximum operating conditions of the flow-through cell design are 500 °C and 1 kbar. We show that only a relatively small number of XAFS scans are required to generate high signal-to-noise ratio spectra for a supercritical water solution (400 °C) containing 1 m CaCl2 using a bending-magnet beamline (20-BM, PNC-CAT, Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory).

The protocol and containment system have been demonstrated for magic-angle spinning (MAS) experiments on ceramic samples containing 5–10 wt % 239Pu and 238Pu at rotation speeds of 3500 Hz. The technique has been used to demonstrate that MAS NMR experiments can be used to measure amorphous atomic number fractions produced by accelerated internal radiation damage. This will allow incorporated α-emitters with short half-lives to be used to model the long-term radiation tolerance of potential ceramic radioactive waste forms. This is an example of MAS NMR spectroscopy on samples containing fissionable isotopes.

The D coefficient is sensitive to possible violations of time reversal invariance. The detector has an octagonal symmetry that optimizes electron–proton coincidence rates and reduces systematic effects. A beam of longitudinally polarized cold neutrons passes through the detector chamber, where a small fraction undergo beta decay. The final-state protons are accelerated and focused onto arrays of cooled semiconductor diodes, while the coincident electrons are detected using panels of plastic scintillator. Details regarding the design and performance of the proton detectors, beta detectors, and the electronics used in the data collection system are presented. The neutron beam characteristics, the spin-transport magnetic fields, and polarization measurements are also described.

Welds were made in an asymmetric crystallographic orientation under three different processing conditions. As welding speed and power increased, stray grain formation became extensive, but only on one side of the weld. Solidification cracking also became more extensive and occurred mostly along the stray grain boundaries. The three welding processes have been simulated using the finite element method (FEM). The calculation results showed that thermomechanical stresses increase with welding speed and power, leading to increased susceptibility to cracking. These results agree well with experimental observations.

T1 - Environmental and chemical carcinogenesis JO - Seminars in Cancer Biology JF - Seminars in Cancer Biology Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 14 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 473 EP - 486 SN - 1044579X AB - People are continuously exposed exogenously to varying amounts of chemicals that have been shown to have carcinogenic or mutagenic properties in experimental systems. Exposure can occur exogenously when these agents are present in food, air or water, and also endogenously when they are products of metabolism or pathophysiologic states such as inflammation. It has been estimated that exposure to environmental chemical carcinogens may contribute significantly to the causation of a sizable fraction, perhaps a majority, of human cancers, when exposures are related to “life-style” factors such as diet, tobacco use, etc. This chapter summarizes several aspects of environmental chemical carcinogenesis that have been extensively studied and illustrates the power of mechanistic investigation combined with molecular epidemiologic approaches in establishing causative linkages between environmental exposures and increased cancer risks.A causative relationship between exposure to aflatoxin, a strongly carcinogenic mold-produced contaminant of dietary staples in Asia and Africa, and elevated risk for primary liver cancer has been demonstrated through the application of well-validated biomarkers in molecular epidemiology. These studies have also identified a striking synergistic interaction between aflatoxin and hepatitis B virus infection in elevating liver cancer risk. Use of tobacco products provides a clear example of cancer causation by a life-style factor involving carcinogen exposure. Tobacco carcinogens and their DNA adducts are central to cancer induction by tobacco products, and the contribution of specific tobacco carcinogens (e.g. PAH and NNK) to tobacco-induced lung cancer, can be evaluated by a weight of evidence approach. Factors considered include presence in tobacco products, carcinogenicity in laboratory animals, human uptake, metabolism and adduct formation, possible role in causing molecular changes in oncogenes or suppressor genes, and other relevant data. This approach can be applied to evaluation of other environmental carcinogens, and the evaluations would be markedly facilitated by prospective epidemiologic studies incorporating phenotypic carcinogen-specific biomarkers.Heterocyclic amines represent an important class of carcinogens in foods. They are mutagens and carcinogens at numerous organ sites in experimental animals, are produced when meats are heated above 180 °C for long periods. Four of these compounds can consistently be identified in well-done meat products from the North American diet, and although a causal linkage has not been established, a majority of epidemiology studies have linked consumption of well-done meat products to cancer of the colon, breast and stomach. Studies employing molecular biomarkers suggest that individuals may differ in their susceptibility to these carcinogens, and genetic polymorphisms may contribute to this variability. Heterocyclic amines, like most other chemical carcinogens, are not carcinogenic per se but must be metabolized by a family of cytochrome P450 enzymes to chemically reactive electrophiles prior to reacting with DNA to initiate a carcinogenic response. These same cytochrome P450 enzymes—as well as enzymes that act on the metabolic products of the cytochromes P450 (e.g. glucuronyl transferase, glutathione S-transferase and others)—also metabolize chemicals by inactivation pathways, and the relative amounts of activation and detoxification will determine whether a chemical is carcinogenic. Because both genetic and environmental factors influence the levels of enzymes that metabolically activate and detoxify chemicals, they can also influence carcinogenic risk.Many of the phenotypes of cancer cells can be the result of mutations, i.e., changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA that accumulate as tumors progress. These can arise as a result of DNA damage or by the incorporation of non-complementary nucleotides during DNA synthetic processes. Based upon the disparity between the infrequency of spontaneous mutations and the large numbers of mutations reported in human tumors, it has been postulated that cancers must exhibit a mutator phenotype, which would represent an early event in cancer progression. A mutator phenotype could be generated by mutations in genes that normally function to guarantee genetic stability. These mutations presumably arise via DNA damage by environmental or endogenous agents, but it remains to be determined whether the acquisition of a mutator phenotype is a necessary event during tumor progression.

Such buffer layers could potentially replace CdS in the CIGS solar cell. Total-area conversion efficiency of up to 18.6% has been reported previously using ZnS(O,OH) prepared by CBD. The reported 100 nm CBD ZnS(O,OH) layer was prepared by at least three consecutive depositions, which would make it a relatively expensive replacement for CdS. The recent development of a ZnS(O,OH) layer that enabled to obtain high-efficiency devices using a single-layer CBD is reported in this paper. A 14.4%-efficient device is obtained by using one-layer CBD ZnS(O,OH) on commercial-grade Shell Solar Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGSS) absorber and an up to 17.4% device is obtained by using two-layer CBD ZnS(O,OH) on an NREL CIGS absorber.

However, further improvements on performance and reproducibility of devices have been limited by the conventional SnO2/poly-CdS/poly-CdTe device structure used for more than 30 years. In this paper, we review partial R&D approaches at NREL to understand the issues related to the conventional device structure and to develop several novel materials and a modified device structure for minimizing these issues. We have achieved a CdTe polycrystalline thin-film solar cell demonstrating an NREL-confirmed, total-area efficiency of 16.5% by using new materials and the modified device structure. To apply the high-efficiency CdTe cell fabrication technique, we developed two manufacturing processes for producing high-efficiency CdTe modules with the potential of high throughput and low cost.

These monopolar multilayered quantum well structures can be fabricated to operate anywhere between 3.5 and 20 μm, which includes the molecular fingerprint region of the infrared. This makes them an ideal choice for infrared chemical sensing, a topic of great interest at present. Frequency stabilization and injection locking increase the utility of QCLs. We present results of locking QCLs to optical cavities, achieving relative linewidths down to 5.6 Hz. We report injection locking of one distributed feedback grating QCL with light from a similar QCL, demonstrating capture ranges of up to ±500 MHz, and suppression of amplitude modulation by up to 49 dB. We also present various cavity-enhanced chemical sensors employing the frequency stabilization techniques developed, including the resonant sideband technique known as NICE-OHMS. Sensitivities of 9.7×10-11 cm-1 Hz-1/2 have been achieved in pure nitrous oxide.

The results are compared to the bare Pt(111) surface. The nature of adsorbed intermediates (COad) and the electrocatalytic properties (the onset of CO2 formation) were studied by FTIR spectroscopy. The results show that Pd has a unique catalytic activity for HCOOH oxidation, with Pd surface atoms being about four times more active than Pt surface atoms at 0.4 V. FTIR spectra reveal that on Pt atoms adsorbed CO is produced from dehydration of HCOOH, whereas no CO adsorbed on Pd can be detected although a high production rate of CO2 is observed at low potentials. This indicates that the reaction can proceed on Pd at low potentials without the typical “poison” formation. In contrast to its high activity for formic acid oxidation, the Pd film is completely inactive for methanol oxidation. The FTIR spectra show that neither adsorbed CO is formed on the Pd sites nor significant amounts of CO2 are produced during the electrooxidation of methanol.

Hydrogen gas (4%H2/Ar sputtering gas) is introduced during film growth in order to reduce or eliminate the presence of the GeO2 from the semiconductor surface during the initial nucleation of the metal oxide film. A metal cerium target was used as the cation source, with water vapor serving as the oxidizing species. Epitaxial films were sputter deposited at a substrate temperature of 550 °C in a H2O vapor pressure of approximately 10-3 Torr. The hydrogen partial pressure and substrate temperature were selected to be sufficiently high such that the germanium native oxides are thermodynamically unstable. The Gibbs free energy of CeO2 is larger in magnitude than that of the Ge native oxides, making it more favorable for the metal oxide to reside at the interface in comparison to the native Ge oxides.

The specimen is removed from a polished surface in the FIB using normal methods and then attached to a pre-fabricated substrate in the form of a modified TEM tensile specimen. In this manner, specific features of the microstructure of a polished optical mount can be selected for in situ tensile straining. With the use of electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), this technique could be extended to select specific orientations of the specimen as well.

However, several issues are still to be clarified in order to ascertain the applicability of the technique; among them, the controversy regarding its geometrical or wave-optical nature, as related to the phase detection limit. We show here that the Transport of Intensity is a wave-optical technique that works in a special regime of small defocus where the image intensity is linear with the defocus parameter. By a simple analytical example we show that the Transport of Intensity correctly reconstructs the electron optical phase shift even when the phase is smaller than , a value defining the boundary between the geometrical and wave approaches. Another example is given, the reconstruction of a phase jump, accompanied with experimental support showing that phase retrieval by Electron Holography and Transport of Intensity techniques yields results in good agreement.

By exploiting the site-specific mutual dependence of GPR attenuation and extractable Fe(II) and Fe(III) concentrations on lithofacies, we develop a statistical model in which lithofacies and Fe(II) and Fe(III) concentrations at each pixel between the boreholes are considered as random variables. The unknown variables are estimated by conditioning to the colocated GPR data and the lithofacies measurements along boreholes using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. Cross-validation results show that the geophysical data, constrained by lithofacies, have the potential for providing high-resolution, multidimensional information on extractable Fe(II) and Fe(III) concentrations at the South Oyster site.

Recent theoretical work based on conservation laws and the second law of thermodynamics has demonstrated the need for quantitative interfacial area information to be incorporated into multiphase flow models. We have used synchrotron based X-ray microtomography to investigate unsaturated flow through a glass bead column. Fully three-dimensional images were collected at points on the primary drainage curve and on the secondary imbibition and drainage loops. Analysis of the high-resolution images (17 micron voxels) allows for computation of interfacial areas and saturation. Corresponding pressure measurements are made during the course of the experiments. Results show the fluid-fluid interfacial area increasing as saturation decreases, reaching a maximum at saturations ranging from 20 to 35% and then decreasing as the saturation continues to zero. The findings support results of numerical studies reported in the literature.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 40 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - If fluid is injected into joints in rock masses, the pressure required might result in changes in the joint space between rock blocks that accommodate the fluid transport. At one extreme, very low injection rate and pressure, the joint space is unaffected, and the fluid pressure follows the usual law of linear diffusion. At the opposite extreme, very high injection rates, as used, for example, during hydraulic fracturing, the pressure is so high as to overcome the original Earth stress holding the rock blocks in contact. They 'lift off,' resulting in huge changes in joint space, and the flow equation then becomes so nonlinear that pressure pulses are no longer transmitted in a smooth, diffusive manner but more like a propagating shock wave. In between these extremes, at more modest pressure, the result is not liftoff, but nevertheless, the effective stress tending to close the joint space is reduced; this space dilates, and the effective permeability and storativity of the joint will increase. While the pressure wave will not propagate quite as sharply as it does for liftoff, nonlinearities greatly influence the results, exhibiting behavior far from that predicted by linear diffusion.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/12/02/Dec2004 Part 2 of 3 VL - 51 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3143 EP - 3149 SN - 00189499 AB - We examine the radiation response, annealing characteristics, and long-term reliability of capacitors with Al gates and Al2O3-SiOxNy gate dielectrics stacks which received a forming gas anneal (FGA) or an O2 and FG anneal after high-κ deposition. By comparison to a theoretical capacitance-voltage (CV) curve, the FG annealed devices are found to have a large preirradiation interface trapped charge density of ∼7 × 1011 cm-2, whereas devices annealed in O2 and FG show a large density (∼9 × 1011 cm-2) of negative bulk charge. The midgap voltage shift (Δ Vmg) increases monotonically with dose for both sets of devices, but the O2 annealed devices exhibit 50% less trapping at a total dose of 2 Mrad(SiO2). The radiation-induced voltage shifts are found to recover during long duration biased anneals as a result of tunneling and thermal annealing. For short times and large biases, the annealing response is found to be dominated by tunneling. After 1,000 s of annealing, there is a 50% reduction in Δ Vmg for devices annealed at 2.0 MV/cm and a 7.5% recovery for devices annealed at 1.0 MV/cm. For longer times, the annealing response of these devices is dominated by thermal annealing. Accelerated life testing shows these devices have a broad failure distribution with a large population of extrinsic failures. Extrapolation of the reliability data suggests these particular devices would have to be operated at an electric field less than ∼2.5 MV/cm to achieve a ten-year operational lifetime. Improved reliability is, therefore, required before insertion into a manufacturing environment.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/12/02/Dec2004 Part 2 of 3 VL - 51 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3172 EP - 3177 SN - 00189499 AB - The post-irradiation annealing behavior of total dose degradation in LM139 comparators fabricated in National Semi- conductor Corporation's (NSC) enhanced low-dose-rate sensitive (ELDRS) linear bipolar technology is examined. Data show that a large fraction of the radiation-induced increase in input bias current recovers after a 100°C anneal. The recovery in input bias current is linked to a significant amount of interface-trap annealing at 100 °C. This is qualitatively consistent with previous data on interface-trap annealing and recent models for interface-trap annealing associated with hydrogen motion at the silcon/silcon dioxide interface. The annealing results have implications for hardness assurance testing. If the radiation induced charge that is responsible for ELDRS (whether it be interface or border traps) can anneal at 100 °C, these data suggest that elevated temperature irradiations sometimes used to bound the ELDRS response of ICs may also cause some annealing of radiation-induced charge. These data help explain why high-dose-rate irradiations at elevated temperatures in some cases underestimate low-dose-rate degradation. In addition, these data confirm that high-dose-rate irradiations followed by elevated temperature anneals do not mimic the mechanisms that cause enhanced degradation at low dose rates in devices with ELDRS.

Silicon implantation in the BOX creates a higher density of oxygen vacancy-related defects that reduce the net oxide-trap charge, but increase the back-channel 1/f noise. The 1/f noise of MOSFETs fabricated on silicon-implanted SOI BOX shows little change after 1 Mrad(SiO2) irradiation. Silicon implantation also creates shallow electron traps in the BOX, leading to large bias instabilities. Whether these traps are filed or empty does not significantly affect the 1/f noise. A detailed study of, the 1/f noise, temperature dependence of charge trapping, and radiation response of these SOI nMOSFET transistors shows that charge exchange with shallow electron traps in the BOX occurs mostly via tunneling. Low frequency noise in the double-gate (DG) mode of device operation is also investigated, and found to help mitigate the 1/f noise in fully depleted SOI MOSFETs.

The parasitic bipolar effect, inherent to the structure of SOI transistors, is shown to exist in bulk NMOS transistors as well. We experimentally show that the drain junction of an OFF- state bulk MOS transistor collects more charge than an identical junction isolated from neighboring elements. In other words, the proximity of the source junction and the triggering of the bipolar. like structure are responsible of charge amplification. A higher current peak on the drain is observed, and this enhancement effect is high enough to invalidate usual charge collection models based only on funnel and diffusion transport. Thus, the proximity of other junctions has to be considered to improve charge collection model in bulk technologies.

The number of SEGR strikes across a MOS capacitor was measured, and the SEGR response cross section distinctly shows an electric field threshold. The importance of having stiffening and speedup capacitors at the device is discussed.

Scaling trends to the 100-nm technology node are explored using three-dimensional mixed-level simulations, including both bulk CMOS and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies. Significant transients in deep submicron circuits are predicted for particle strikes with linear energy transfer as low as 2 MeV-cm2/mg, and unattenuated propagation of such transients can occur in bulk CMOS circuits at the 100-nm technology node. Transients approaching 1 ns in duration are predicted in bulk CMOS circuits. Body-tied SOI circuits produce much shorter transients than their bulk counterparts, making them more amenable to transient filtering schemes based on temporal redundancy. Body-tied SOI circuits also maintain a significant advantage in single-event transient immunity with scaling.

T1 - Issues for Single-Event Proton Testing of SRAMs. JO - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Y1 - 2004/12/02/Dec2004 Part 2 of 3 VL - 51 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3692 EP - 3700 SN - 00189499 AB - The impact of total ionizing dose and displacement damage on single-event upset and single-event latchup hardness assurance testing of present-day commercial SRAMs is studied over a wide range of proton energies and fluence levels. Commercial SRAMs from six different vendors were irradiated at proton energies from 8 to 500 MeY and at total doses from 0 to 100 krad(Si) using multiple radiation sources. For some SRAMs, the single-event upset cross section increased with total dose. The amount of increase in SEU cross section strongly depended on the bias configuration during total dose irradiation and single-event upset characterization. For most of the SRAMs that showed an increase in single-event upset cross section with total dose, the static power supply leakage current also increased. Light emission microscopy photographs identified the source of the increase in power supply leakage current for these SRAMs as originating in peripheral transistors outside the memory array. This suggests a new single-event upset mechanism for present-day devices, which may be due to a reduction in the internally supplied memory array bias level with total dose, increasing memory cell sensitivity to single-event upset The proton energy at which the single-event latchup cross section saturated varied considerably between devices. For one technology, the single-event latchup cross section did not saturate until the proton energy was increased to 200 MeV. These data indicate that single-event latchup hardness assurance testing should be performed at high proton energies (>100 MeV). For fluence levels less than 1011 protons/cm2 at a proton energy of 105 MeV, proton-induced displacement damage had no observable affect on single-event latchup cross section. The implications of these effects on single-event upset and latchup hardness assurance testing are discussed.

The devices exhibit superiority in mobility and drain current when op- erated in DG mode compared to SG mode. Moreover, the dc characteristics of DG operated device are less vulnerable to total dose radiation induced damage. In particular, radiation-induced interface traps have less electrical effect in DG mode operation.

The buildup of Not and Nit with total dose is investigated as a function of the irradiation gate voltage at 39 rad/s and 20 mrad/s for three variations of the final passivation layer (all variations had the same oxide covering the active region of the devices). The three variations in final passivation were selected to exhibit minimal degradation at high and low dose rate (no passivation), significant degradation at high and low dose rate (p-glass/nitride) and enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) (p-glass only). It is shown that the increase in base current is dominated by increased Nit and the "true" low dose rate enhancement in the ELDRS parts occurs for zero and negative gate voltage, but is eliminated for large positive gate voltage and elevated temperature irradiation. Implications for ELDRS models are discussed.

These responses include now familiar, but still poorly understood, phenomena associated with radiation exposure such as bystander effects, genomic instability, and adaptive responses. All three have been observed at very low doses, and at time points far removed from the initial radiation exposure, and are extremely relevant for linear extrapolation to low doses; the adaptive response is particularly relevant when exposure is spread over a period of time. These are precisely the circumstances that are most relevant to understanding cancer risk associated with environmental and occupational radiation exposures. This review will provide a synthesis of the known, and proposed, interrelationships amongst low-dose cellular responses to radiation. It also will examine the potential importance of non-targeted cellular responses to ionizing radiation in setting acceptable exposure limits especially to low-LET radiations.

T1 - Distinct profiles of critically short telomeres are a key determinant of different chromosome aberrations in immortalized human cells: whole-genome evidence from multiple cell lines. JO - Oncogene JF - Oncogene Y1 - 2004/12/02/ VL - 23 IS - 56 M3 - Article SP - 9090 EP - 9101 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 09509232 AB - Chromosomal aberrations are common in cancers. However, the search for chromosomal aberrations leading to development of specific solid tumors has been severely hindered because the majority of solid tumors have complex chromosomal aberrations that differ within the same tumor types. A similar phenomenon exists in immortalized cell lines. The underlying mechanisms driving these diverse aberrations are largely unknown. Telomeres play crucial roles in protecting the integrity of eucaryotic chromosomes and maintaining genomic stability of human cells. Telomere lengths on individual chromosomes in normal human somatic cells are heterogeneous and undergo progressive shortening with aging process. In this study, for the first time, a molecular cytogenetic method using sequential telomere quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization and spectral karyotyping on the same human metaphases was applied successfully to examine the dynamic profiles of individual telomere shortening and their relationship to chromosome aberrations in multiple human cell lines undergoing immortalization. Human ovarian surface epithelial cells and esophageal epithelial cells were immortalized by the expression of HPV16 E6 and E7, which drive cells to proliferate by inactivating p53 and Rb genes. In these cell lines, we consistently detected large-scale differences in telomere signal intensities not only among nonhomologous chromosome arms but also between some homologous chromosome arms. The cell lines derived from different donors had different profiles of critically short telomeres (lacking telomere signals). Strikingly, the different profiles of chromosomal structural aberrations in multiple immortalized cell lines were highly significantly associated with the distinct distributions of critically short telomeres in whole-genome. Since cellular immortalization is one of the hallmarks of cancer, our findings suggest that distinct profiles of critically short telomeres in different human individuals might play an essential role in determining the complex and individual-specific chromosomal structural aberrations in human solid tumors.Oncogene (2004) 23, 9090-9101. doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1208119 Published online 18 October 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Oncogene is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The study of late-appearing clinical effects from particle beams of protons, carbon, or heavier ions is a relatively new field with few data. However, new clinical information is available from pioneer hadron radiotherapy programs in the USA, Japan, Germany and Switzerland. This paper will review available data on late tissue effects from particle radiation exposures, and discuss its importance to the future of hadron therapy. Potential late radiation effects are associated with irradiated normal tissue volumes at risk that in many cases can be reduced with hadron therapy. However, normal tissues present within hadron treatment volumes can demonstrate enhanced responses compared to conventional modes of therapy. Late endpoints of concern include induction of secondary cancers, cataract, fibrosis, neurodegeneration, vascular damage, and immunological, endocrine and hereditary effects. Low-dose tissue effects at tumor margins need further study, and there is need for more acute molecular studies underlying late effects of hadron therapy.

The series constructed are shown to converge to a specified du Bois-Reymond function f in L² [0,&Pie;]. It is then shown that the series solutions can be made to converge uniformly to the specified du Bois-Reymond function when averaged by the Cesaro-one summability method. Therefore, in the Cesaro-one sense, every continuous function / o n [0, &Pie;] is the uniform limit of solutions of non-homogeneous Sturm-Liouville problems.

Here we describe and analyze a recent one-billion-atom simulation of ductile materials failure [PNAS 99 (9) (2002) 5783] where the complexity of creation and collective behavior of thousands of dislocations are revealed, for the first time, from atomic to submicron length scales. The amount of information that can be extracted from such large-scale simulations is truly overwhelming, and graphic visualization of dynamic dislocation motion and interactions are breathtaking. We present some of our preliminary analysis of the one-billion-atom simulation which indicates several interesting and unique features characterizing interactions among a large number of dislocations. A sessile defect structure is observed to develop on the time scale of several picoseconds, effectively locking further dislocation motion and causing the material to work harden. We make analysis of the activated slip systems, the dislocation reactions leading to rigid junctions and the formation of sessile defect structure. In order to render the present study more comprehensive to the readers from a continuum plasticity background and stimulate further interests in this area of research, we also include some brief reviews of some of the previous studies as well as commonly used simulation, visualization and analysis techniques on atomistic modeling of dislocation plasticity. Finally, we discuss possible ways to link continuum mechanics theories of plasticity with atomistic simulation results via the dislocation density tensor.

The strain gradients are associated with incompatibilities due to geometrically necessary dislocations, and are quantified by the Nye dislocation density tensor. When incorporated within a flow rule for the plastic strain rate, this tensor fundamentally alters the mathematical structure of the theory. Several computational complexities also arise as a result. These problems are posed in the setting of a variationally-based multiscale method. It allows the circumvention of some of the mathematical and computational difficulties associated with this model. The phenomenological plasticity model, its enhancement by strain gradients, formulation within a multiscale context and two numerical examples are presented.

The isotherm data were modeled with a bi-Langmuir isotherm model, indicating the presence of two different types of adsorption sites on this stationary phase, nonselective and enantioselective sites. The latter are homogeneous but interact with both enantiomers, albeit with different energies. The thermodynamic characteristics of these two types of sites were characterized by their adsorption constants and saturation capacities and by the influence of the temperature on these different parameters.

All N interstitial configurations eventually transform into N--N split interstitials, between which two π orbitals exist. The relaxation of a Ga antisite defect also leads to the formation of a N--N split configuration; however, its local Wannier orbitals are remarkably different from the N--N split interstitial. The different local Wannier orbitals around Ga interstitial configurations demonstrate that Ga interstitials are critical defects in GaN. The most striking feature is that Ga--Ga 〈 11&2sline;0〉 split interstitials can bridge the gap between nonbonded Ga atoms, thereby leading to a chain of four metallic-like-bonded Ga atoms along the 〈11&2sline;0〉 direction in GaN, which may exhibit quantum properties.

The micron-size channels induce the semiflexible biopolymers with comparable or larger persistence lengths than the channel width to naturally align parallel to the channel in solution, which facilitates structural studies by x-ray diffraction and optical imaging techniques. As a model system, we investigated the cross-linking of filamentous actin (F-actin) with the bundling protein α-actinin in the microchannels. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction and fluorescence microscopy were used to confirm that F-actin, when bundled in the device, conforms to the alignment of the channel geometry.

The necessary natural 1,4-dihydronicotinamde adenine dinucleotide (NADH) co-factor for this biocatalytic process was replaced by a biomimetic co-factor, N-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide, 1b. The interaction between the flavin (FAD) containing HbpA enzyme and the corresponding biomimetic NADH compound, N-benzyl-1,4-dihdronicotinamide, 1b, for hydride transfer, was shown to readily occur. The in situ recycling of the reduced NADH biomimic 1b from 1a was accomplished with [Cp*Rh(bpy)H](Cl); however, productive coupling of this regeneration reaction to the enzymatic hydroxylation reaction was not totally successful, due to a deactivation process concerning the HbpA enzyme peripheral groups; i.e., –SH or –NH2 possibly reacting with the precatalyst, [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H2O)](Cl)2, and thus inhibiting the co-factor regeneration process. The deactivation mechanism was studied, and a promising strategy of derivatizing these peripheral –SH or –NH2 groups with a polymer containing epoxide was successful in circumventing the undesired interaction between HbpA and the precatalyst. This latter strategy allowed tandem co-factor regeneration using 1a or 2a, [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H2O)](Cl)2, and formate ion, in conjunction with the polymer bound, FAD containing HbpA enzyme to provide the catechol product.

We discuss the models with bi-fundamental link fields where the gauge symmetry can be broken down to the Pati–Salam, , flipped or the Standard Model like gauge symmetry. We also propose an model with bi-fundamental link fields where the gauge symmetry is broken down to the Pati–Salam gauge symmetry, and an model with bi-spinor link fields where the gauge symmetry is broken down to the flipped gauge symmetry. In these two models, the Pati–Salam and flipped gauge symmetry can be further broken down to the Standard Model gauge symmetry, the doublet–triplet splittings can be obtained by the missing partner mechanism, and the proton decay problem can be solved. We also study the gauge coupling unification. We briefly comment on the interesting variation models with gauge groups and in which the proton decay problem can be solved.

Recent results on laser guiding of relativistically intense beams in preformed plasma channels are discussed. The observation of mono-energetic beams in the 100 MeV energy range, produced by a channel guided LWFA at LBNL, is described and compared to results obtained in the unguided case at LOA, RAL and LBNL. Analysis, aided by particle-in-cell simulations, as well as experiments with various plasma lengths and densities, indicate that tailoring the length of the accelerator has a very beneficial impact on the electron energy distribution. Progress on laser triggered injection is reviewed. Results are presented on measurements of bunch duration and emittance of the accelerated electron beams, that indicate the possibility of generating femtosecond duration electron bunches. Future challenges and plans towards the development of a 1 GeV LWFA module are discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Primary electrons are produced by a photocathode (or other means) and are accelerated to a few thousand electron-volts, then strike a specially prepared diamond window. The large Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) provides a multiplication of the number of electrons by about two orders of magnitude. The secondary electrons drift through the diamond under an electric field and emerge into the accelerating region proper of the “gun” through a Negative Electron Affinity surface of the diamond. The advantages of the new approach include the following: 1. Reduction of the required number of primary electrons by the large SEY, i.e. we can utilize a very low laser power in a photocathode producing the primaries. 2. Low thermal emittance due to the NEA surface and the rapid thermalization of the electrons.3. Protection of the cathode from possible contamination from the gun, allowing the use of large quantum efficiency but sensitive cathodes. 4. Protection of the gun from possible contamination by the cathode, allowing the use of superconducting gun cavities. 5. Production of high average currents, up to ampere class. 6. Encapsulated design, making the “load-lock” systems unnecessary. This paper presents the criteria that need to be taken into account in designing the amplifier. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In addition, this WG was tasked at the Workshop with developing conceptual (strawman) designs for a 1-GeV accelerator system based upon any of the experimentally-proven approaches covered in this WG. Two strawmen designs were developed based upon IFELs and DWAs. The presentations given and strawmen designs indicate great progress has been made in many areas. Proof-of-principle experiments will occur shortly in PBGA and VLA. Other well-proven devices, such as IFELs, are becoming accepted as “workhorse” providers of microbunches. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Verification, i.e., showing that a computational application correctly solves the assumed model, and validation, i.e., showing that the model correctly describes the modeled system, were discussed for a number of systems. In particular, the predictions of the massively parallel codes, OSIRIS and VORPAL, used for modeling advanced accelerator concepts, were compared and shown to agree, thereby establishing some verification of both codes. In addition, a number of talks on the status and frontiers of computational accelerator physics were presented, to include the modeling of ultrahigh-brightness electron photoinjectors and the physics of beam halo production. Finally, talks discussing computational needs were presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The dielectric material loaded into this DLA structure is a commonly used high-Q ceramic, MgxCa1-xTiO3 (MCT), with a dielectric constant of 20. The purpose of these experiments is to study high-power phenomena in the DLA structure. Two important phenomena have been observed during these experiments. First, multipactor effects are strongly dependent on the dielectric material used in the DLA structure. In this case, the multipactor-induced power absorption threshold and trend to higher power differ when MCT is used instead of alumina. Second, although we did not observe dielectric breakdown in the bulk dielectric, breakdown occurred at the butt-joint between adjacent dielectric sections in the MCT structure. This occurs because of manufacturing imperfections of the joint that cause large, local field enhancements. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These tests are a collaborative effort between Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). In a previous high power test, single-surface multipactor was reported to be capable of absorbing more than half of the RF power incident on an alumina-based DLA structure. In this paper, we report on the most recent set of high power tests that are attempting to further understand multipactor and eventually suppress it. Several methods were employed to suppress multipactor including: the use of a magnetic field; a TIN surface coating; and a different dielectric material (Magnesium-Calcium-Titanate based). The effectiveness of these three methods are presented and discussed in the paper. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/12/07/ VL - 737 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 281 EP - 287 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - This paper describes a joint project by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), in collaboration with the StanFord Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), to develop a dielectric-loaded accelerator (DLA) test facility powered by a high-power 11.424-GHz magnicon amplifier. The magnicon can presently produce 25 MW of output power in a 250-ns pulse at 10 Hz, and efforts are in progress to increase this to 50 MW. The facility will include a 5 MeV electron injector being developed by the Accelerator Laboratory of Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. The DLA test structures are being developed by ANL, and some have undergone testing at NRL at gradients up to ∼8 MV/m. SLAC is developing a means to combine the two magnicon output arms, and to drive an injector and accelerator with separate control of the power ratio and relative phase. RWBruce Associates, Inc., working with NRL, is developing a means to join short ceramic sections into a continuous accelerator tube by ceramic brazing using an intense millimeter-wave beam. The installation and testing of the first dielectric-loaded test accelerator, including injector, DLA structure, and spectrometer, should take place within the next year. The facility will be used for testing DLA structures using a variety of materials and configurations, and also for testing other X-band accelerator concepts. The initial goal is to produce a compact 20 MeV dielectric-loaded test accelerator. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The experiment used inverse free electron lasers (IFEL) driven by the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) CO2 laser. The First IFEL modulated the electron beam energy. A subsequent chicane created a train of ∼3 fs-long microbunches separated by 10.6 μm. These microbunches are trapped and accelerated in a second IFEL, where up to 80% trapping efficiencies and energy spreads down to 0.36% (1σ) were measured. This paper presents additional model comparisons with the data, and discusses the strengths and limitations of the model. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

One needs both a high charge intensity and a high-gamma beam so the OTR can be collected with reasonable efficiency. In the case of the accelerator complex at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), the main injector generates a 120-GeV proton beam with an intensity of ∼5 × 1012 for bombardment of the antiproton production target. This option satisfies both criteria, and the OTR is so bright that attenuation by 1000 with neutral density filters was needed to avoid saturating the CID camera when a 20-μm thin foil was used as the converter screen. Based on this success, OTR stations are being planned for the antiproton transport line to the Tevatron to assist in evaluating beam match and emittance. The ultimate goal is to improve the collider luminosity in Run II by optimizing the antiproton beam optics. Foil damage and radiation damage issues in this environment will also be briefly addressed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

There are several different ways to express a beam diagnostic instrument’s ability to measure the beam’s characteristics over a wide dynamic range. For example, presently beam profiles are measured over current ranges of 1 to 100 mA (in the case of the Low Energy Demonstration Accelerator) or 1 to 20 mA in the case of the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center facility. The beam current dynamic range requirements are based on the facilities users’ needs and the facilities ability to tune the associated accelerators and beamlines. However, as peak beam currents requirements rise, the beam’s halo may be lost to beam line components during tuning and operation facility conditions resulting in unwanted beam pipe radioactivation. To minimize these lost beam debilitating conditions, future beam profile measurements will need to measure further out in the beam distributions, i.e., driving the needs for beam profile measurement to be measured over greater dynamic ranges. Finally, future ion accelerator facilities will require measuring all beam diagnostics parameters over a large variety of charge-to-mass ratios and experimenter delivered beam current requirements. These new additional requirements will drive beam profiles to be acquired over at least a 1000:1 peak current ratio. This presentation will discuss the present typical dynamic ranges for such common beam measurements, such as beam position and profiles and provide examples of future wide dynamic range beam measurements. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The coherent transition radiation, scaling quadratically with bunch charge, is generated as the electrons transit the plasma-vacuum boundary. Due to the limited transverse radius of the plasma boundary, diffraction effects will strongly modify the angular distribution and the total energy radiated is reduced compared to an infinite transverse boundary. The multi-nC electron bunches, concentrated in a length of a few plasma periods (several tens of microns), experience partial charge neutralization while propagating inside the plasma towards the boundary. This reduces the space-charge blowout of the beam, allowing for coherent radiation at relatively high frequencies (several THz). The charge distribution of the electron bunch at the plasma-vacuum boundary can be derived from Fourier analysis of the coherent part of the transition radiation spectrum. A Michelson interferometer was used to measure the coherent spectrum, and electron bunches with duration on the order of 50 fs (rms) were observed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These accelerators can typically produce two types of electron bunches: i) a high charge bunch with a broad energy distribution, resulting in x-ray pulses with high flux and a broadband spectrum, and ii) electron bunches with a narrow energy distribution, resulting in an ultrashort x-ray pulse with a nearly monochromatic spectrum. Nonlinear Thomson scattering (high laser intensity) will be considered, as well as the effects of the laser pulse profile. Thomson scattering may provide a useful diagnostic for determining the electron bunch properties via the scattering x-ray spectrum. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We developed a new femtosecond optical diagnostic, single-shot supercontinuum spectral interferometry (SSSI), which measures ultra-rapid transients in the complex index of refraction induced by an intense laser pulse. This measurement provides a direct view on how the laser-produced perturbations evolve in time and space. To date, SSSI has been successfully used to diagnose femtosecond dynamics in the interaction of intense laser pulses with gases, nanometer-sized atomic or molecular clusters, and plasmas, including plasma waveguides. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This technique uses a sharp downward plasma density transition to trap and accelerate background plasma electrons in a plasma wake-field. This paper recounts the first attempt to demonstrate density transition trapping experimentally. The goal of the experiment is to capture a ∼ 100 pC, 1.5 MeV beam with 4% rms energy spread out of a 2.5×1013 cm-3 peak density plasma using a 6nC, 14 MeV drive beam. The first experimental run occurred at the Fermilab NICADD Photoinjector Laboratory (FNPL) between January and May 2004. While several key objectives were achieved, we were unable to achieve the drive beam parameters necessary for the experiment due to technical problems. We are in the process of resolving these problems in preparation for a second experimental run. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Collective modes are inherent to nonequilibrium beams with space charge. Colored noise arises from unavoidable machine transitions and/or errors that influence the internal space-charge force. Lowest-order radial eigenmodes calculated self-consistently for a direct-current, cylindrically symmetric, warm-fluid Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij equilibrium serve to model the collective modes. Even with weak space charge, small-amplitude collective modes, and weak noise strength, a pronounced halo is seen to develop if these phenomena act on the beam over a sufficiently long time, such as in a synchrotron or storage ring. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Applying a longitudinal solenoid field on the cathode can generate such a beam, which rotates around its longitudinal axis in a field-free region. This paper suggests how a magnetized beam can be accelerated and transported from a RF photocathode electron gun to the cooling section without significantly increasing its emittance. The evolution of longitudinal slices of the beam under a combination of space charge and magnetization is investigated, using paraxial envelope equations and numerical simulations. We find that we must modify the traditional method of compensating for emittance as used for normal non-magnetized beam with space charge to account for magnetization. The results of computer simulations of successful compensation are presented. Alternately, we show an electron bunch density distribution for which all slices propagate uniformly and which does not require emittance compensation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A significant fraction of the energy in the laser pulse may be lost during and after coupling from vacuum into a channel. For example, imperfect coupling can lead to enhanced leakage of laser energy transversely through the channel walls. We present 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, using the VORPAL code, of an example problem. We present a numerical diagnostic, based on simultaneous FFT’s in space and time, which enables quantitative measurements of forward and backward propagating pulse energy and its spectra. Future work will be directed toward VORPAL parameter studies designed to optimize the amount of laser energy that couples into a channel. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Accurate and efficient modeling of the injector are critical to all phases of the process, from evaluating initial ideas to successful diagnosis of problems during routine operation. The basic modeling tasks will vary from design to design, according to the basic nature of the injector (dc, rf, hybrid, etc.), the type of cathode used (thermionic, photo, field emitter, etc.), and “macro” factors such as average beam current and duty factor, as well as the usual list of desired beam properties. The injector designer must be at least aware of, if not proficient at addressing, the multitude of issues that arise from these considerations; and, as high-brightness injectors continue to move out of the laboratory, the number of such issues will continue to expand. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/12/07/ VL - 737 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 503 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - We demonstrate that self-guiding of intense short pulses in clustered gases can be utilized to generate long plasma channels, which upon expansion form waveguides suitable for propagation of laser pulses at high intensity. This scheme has several advantages over waveguide-generation in non-clustered gases. The absorption of energy by the target depends on the size of the clusters and not on the average density of the gas, which allows greater control of the density encountered by the guided pulse. In particular, electron densities less than 1018 cm-3 are feasible. Moreover, since clusters absorb sub-picosecond pulses very efficiently, channel generation by an auxiliary long-pulse laser is no longer necessary and a considerably simpler setup suffices. The problem of taper at the channel entrance, an old bugbear of side-pumped waveguides in gases, is shown to be significantly reduced. Evidence will be presented of waveguide generation in gases of argon and hydrogen clusters, using different cryogenic sources. A slit source is used for argon, and waveguides < 1 cm could be formed, in which laser pulses with intensity > 1017 Wcm-2 were guided. The results of a propagation code suggest that even longer channels are well within experimental reach. Argon, however, has the disadvantage that a super-intense pulse would likely produce further ionization, and hence suffer ionization induced defocusing. Hydrogen clusters, which can easily be fully ionized, were formed using a more efficient conical nozzle cooled to 90 K, limiting maximum waveguide lengths to < 3 mm. Though these channels are short, there is no obvious reason why a longer target would not allow longer waveguides to be generated, and the experiments demonstrate the utility of this novel scheme. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Channels formed by hydrodynamic shock were used to guide acceleration relevant laser intensities of at least 1E18 W/cm2 at the guide output over more than 10 Rayleigh lengths at LBNL’s l’OASIS facility (10 TW, 2E19 W/cm2). The pondermotive force of the laser pulse drove an intense plasma wave, producing acceleration gradients on the order of 100 GV/m. Electrons were trapped from the background plasma and accelerated. By extending the acceleration length using the guiding channel, the energy of the electron beam was greatly increased, and bunches of small energy spread and low emittance were formed. Experiments varying gas jet length as well as simulations indicate that the high quality beams were formed when beam loading turned off injection after an initial load, producing an isolated bunch, and when that bunch was subsequently accelerated to the dephasing length at which point it rotated in phase space to produce low energy spread. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/12/07/ VL - 737 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 534 EP - 540 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - A new experiment has begun that builds upon the successful Staged Electron Laser Acceleration (STELLA) experiment, which demonstrated high-trapping efficiency and narrow energy spread in a staged laser-driven accelerator. STELLA was based upon inverse free electron lasers (IFEL); the new experiment, called STELLA-LW, is based upon laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA). The first phase of STELLA-LW will be to demonstrate LWFA in a capillary discharge driven by the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) terawatt CO2 laser beam. This will be the first time LWFA is conducted at 10.6-μm laser wavelength. It will also be operating in an interesting pseudo-resonant regime where the laser pulse length is too long for resonant LWFA, but too short for self-modulated LWFA. Analysis has shown that in pseudo-resonant LWFA, pulse-steepening effects occur on the laser pulse that permits generation of strong wakefields. Various approaches are being explored for the capillary discharge including polypropylene and hydrogen-filled capillaries. Planned diagnostics for the experiment include coherent Thomson scattering (CTS) to detect the wakefield generation. This will be one of the first times CTS is used on a capillary discharge. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The conditioning provides a quadratic correlation between the electron energy deviation and the betatron amplitude of the electrons, which results in enhanced gain in free-electron lasers. Quantum effects imply conditioning must occur at high laser fluence and moderate electron energy. Conditioning of x-ray free-electron lasers should be achievable with present laser technology, leading to significant size and cost reductions of these large-scale facilities. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

First, an 11 GHz PBG resonator, which can be utilized as an accelerator cavity with reduced long-range wakefields, was constructed and tested. The higher-order-modes suppression was proved in the cold test. A Q-factor of 5000 was achieved for a brazed resonator. Next, a 6-cell 17.137 GHz PBG accelerator structure with reduced long-range wakefields was designed. A high Q 6-cell 17.137 GHz PBG accelerator was electroformed and is currently cold tested. A PBG structure will be tested at high power and will be used to accelerate an electron beam at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In particular, it is shown that a direct relation exists between the x-ray brightness and the electron beam brightness. These relations are discussed in the context of the PLEIADES Thomson x-ray source, where 107 photons per pulse, with photon energies as high as 140 keV, have been produced by colliding a 0.25 nC, picosecond electron bunch with a 500 mJ, 50 fs, 800 nm laser pulse. The estimated peak brightness of the source is about 1016 photons/s/mm2/mrad2/0.1 %b.w. A comparison of the current performance of the source and the predicted performance using optimized parameters is presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The cell lengths are modified to have maximum accelerating efficiency. The modification introduces an extra RF field slice emittance. The phase space evolution of the following emittance compensation system is presented taking into account the chromatic effect. The emittance compensation mechanics for RF field and chromatic effect induced emittance is similar to that of compensating the space charge induced emittance. But the requirements are different to have best compensation for them. The beam waist is far in front of linac entrance to have best compensation for the RF field and chromatic effect induced emittance. For low field RF gun with high charge electron bunch this compensation is more important. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A decrease in density implies an increase in plasma wavelength, which can shift a relativistic electron from the defocusing to the focusing region of the accelerating wakefield. Also, a decrease in density leads to a decrease in wake phase velocity, which lowers the trapping threshold. The specific method of two-pulse colliding pulse injector was examined using a 3D test particle tracking code. A density down-ramp of 30% led to an order of magnitude enhancement of the trapping fraction compared to the uniform plasma case, without degrading other bunch properties. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The threshold laser intensity for electron injection into the wakefield was analyzed using a heuristic model based on phase-space island overlap. Analysis shows that the injection can be performed using modest counterpropagating laser intensity a1 ≤ 0.5 for a drive laser intensity of a0 ≃ 1.0. Preliminary experiments were preformed using a drive beam and colliding beam. Charge enhancement by the colliding pulse was observed. Increasing the signal-to-noise ratio by means of a preformed plasma channel is discussed. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

For proton energies >10 MeV, the transverse and longitudinal emittance are respectively <0.004 mm-mrad and <10-4 eV-s, i.e. at least 100-fold and may be as much as 104-fold better than conventional accelerators beams. The ion beam source size is measured to be <15 μm (fwhm) for proton energies >10 MeV. Magnetic stripping of the co-moving electrons out of the beam after a few cm of debunching is not observed to induce emittance growth. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

As the reaction time increased the amount of carbon deposited on the catalyst also increased. The carbon deposited on the catalyst during the first hour of reaction appears to be very active and was removed readily by reacting with 2vol.% oxygen in helium at 660°C and the catalyst recovered its original activity and selectivity after removal of carbon. During the temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) of deposited carbon the catalyst consumed a significant amount of oxygen forming nickel oxide, only a fraction of which is consumed by reacting with carbon species on the surface. This indicates that the surface oxygen plays a significant role in oxidizing and removing carbon species from the catalyst surfaces. Pulse reaction and oxidation experiments show that methane is activated on the surfaces of both the oxidized and reduced catalyst whereas the CO2 activation requires the catalyst to be in reduced state. Carbon deposited on the catalyst is formed from both methane and CO2, possibly via disproportionation of CO which is produced from both 13CH4 and 12CO2.

T1 - Characterization of trace organic compounds associated with aged and diluted sidestream tobacco smoke in a controlled atmosphere—volatile organic compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons JO - Atmospheric Environment JF - Atmospheric Environment Y1 - 2004/12/08/ VL - 38 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 6583 EP - 6599 SN - 13522310 AB - In this study, a wide range of volatile organic constituents of aged and diluted sidestream tobacco smoke (ADSS) were determined in a controlled atmosphere, where ADSS is the sole source of target compounds. The ADSS was generated in a 30m3 environmental test chamber using a variety of cigarettes, including the Kentucky 1R4F reference cigarette and eight commercial brands, and a total of 24 experimental runs were conducted. Target analytes were divided into three groups, i.e. vapor and particulate phase markers for environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), volatile organic compounds (VOC) including carbonyls, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The VOC samples were collected on triple sorbent traps, and then analyzed by thermal desorption coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), while the carbonyl compounds were sampled on DNPH cartridges, being analyzed by HPLC. ETS particles in the chamber were collected by high volume sampling, and then used for the determination of PAHs by GC/MS. Among more than 30 target VOCs, acetaldehyde appeared to be the most abundant compound, followed by 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, and formaldehyde. The results from the chamber study were further used to generate characterized ratios of selected VOCs to 3-ethenyl pyridine (3-EP), a vapor phase ETS marker. The ratios appeared to be in generally good agreement with published values in the literature. This suggests that the characteristic ratios may be useful for quantifying the impact of ETS on the VOC concentrations in ‘real world’ indoor environments, which are affected by a complex mixture of components from multiple sources. The yields of ETS markers from this study are all slightly lower than those estimated by other studies, while VOC yields are in reasonable agreement in many cases with values in the literature. Among 16 target PAHs, chrysene appeared to be most abundant, followed by benzo(a)anthracene (BaA) and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). The average contents of BaP and BaA in ADSS particles for the commercial brands were 12.8 and 21.5μgg-1, respectively. These values are all approximately 1.5–3 times higher than those determined previously by other studies. The average yields of BaP per cigarette were estimated to be 209 and 215ng for the reference and commercial cigarettes, respectively. Comparison of the PAH data from this study with literature values was complicated by a lack of consistency in cigarette smoke generating methodology among other studies. These data on the cigarette yields of ETS components may provide useful information to studies on the mathematical modeling of indoor air quality regarding tobacco smoke as a source of interest, or to studies on the assessment of human exposure to ETS.

Quantitative analyses of VX and its degradation products were performed using LC–MS. Batch hydrolysis experiments demonstrated an increasing hydrolysis rate as pH increased, as shown in previous studies, but also indicated that dissolved aqueous constituents can cause significant differences in the absolute hydrolysis rate. Adsorption isotherms from batch aqueous experiments revealed that VX has a high affinity for hydrophobic organics, a moderate affinity for montmorillonite clay, and a very low affinity for an iron-oxyhydroxide soil mineral, goethite. The adsorption on goethite was increased with the presence of dissolved organic matter in solution. VX degraded rapidly when dried onto goethite, when specific adsorption was forced. No enhanced degradation occurred with goethite in small amounts of water. These results suggest that aqueous conditions have important controls on VX adsorption and degradation in the environment and a more mechanistic understanding of these controls is needed in order to enable accurate predictions of its long-term fate and persistence.

These simulations are the first to model this gradient in all-atom detail, with the field generated solely by explicit ion dynamics. Unlike traditional bilayer simulations that have one bilayer per unit cell, we simulate a 170 mV potential gradient by using a unit cell consisting of three salt-water baths separated by two bilayers, with full three-dimensional periodicity. The study shows that current computational resources are powerful enough to generate a truly electrified interface, as we show the predicted effect of the field on the overall charge distribution. Additionally, starting from Poisson’s equation, we show a new derivation of the double integral equation for calculating the potential profile in systems with this type of periodicity. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry A JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry A Y1 - 2004/12/08/ VL - 108 IS - 49 M3 - Article SP - 10770 EP - 10782 SN - 10895639 AB - The C2H + O(3P) reaction is investigated using time-resolved Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TR-FTIR). The C2H and O radicals are produced by 193-nm photolysis of C2H2 and SO2 precursors. Multiple vibrationally excited products are observed from several resulting reaction processes, including products: CO, CO2, C4H2, and CH. For this choice of photolytic precursors, it is observed that the C2H + SO2, C2H2 + O, and the HCCO + O reactions contribute to the observed product signals. To evaluate the contribution of the C2H + SO2 reaction to the removal kinetics of C2H in the C2H2/SO2 system, the room-temperature rate constant for the C2H + SO2 reaction is experimentally determined to be k = (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The time dependencies of the CO and CO2 species are measured experimentally and simulated to determine conditions under which contributions from the several processes that give the same product can be differentiated. Analysis of the nascent vibrational distribution of the CO products from C2H + O suggests the participation of both CH(A2Δ) and CH(X2Π) products, in the ratio of ~3:2. The surprisal parameters for the vibrational distribution of the CO products of these two channels are found to be -1.5 ± 0.2 and -1.1 ± 0.2, respectively. It is suggested that the reaction proceeds through the HCCO‡ intermediate, in agreement with earlier studies, but the CH(A2Δ)/CH(X2Π) branching fraction may be larger than previously reported.

For this activated reaction, results reveal two reaction mechanisms, a direct H-abstraction and a H-addition/ring-opening. The hydrogen-abstraction reaction yields the H2 and cyclopropyl (cyc-C3H5) radical products. The vibrationally adiabatic ground-state (VAG) barrier height is predicted to be 13.03 kcal/mol. The isomerization barrier height from the product cyclopropyl to allyl radical is 21.98 kcal/mol via a cyc-C3H5 ring-opening process. In addition, the H-addition and ring-opening mechanism will lead to an n-C3H7 radical, which can result in a variety of products such as CH3 + C2H4, H + CH3CHCH2, and H2 + C3H5, etc. The VAG barrier height of the H-addition reaction is 16.49 kcal/mol, which is slightly higher than that of the direct H-abstraction reaction. Although the H + cyc-C3H6 → CH4 + CH2CH reaction is exoergic by 11.90 kcal/mol, this reaction is unlikely due to a high barrier of 43.05 kcal/mol along the minimum energy path.

It is found that despite its high carbon concentration Ti8C12 displays a superior catalytic potential for hydrodesulfurization. Compared to the industrial catalysts, the hydrogen dissociation and C-S bond cleavage on Ti8C12 are more facile, and the removal of sulfur is energetically comparable. Our results also show that the catalytic activity of Ti8C12 can be associated with its unique structure that is quite different from that of bulk metal carbides.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/12/08/ VL - 108 IS - 49 M3 - Article SP - 18932 EP - 18941 SN - 15206106 AB - The chemistry of acetone on the oxidized and reduced surfaces of TiO2(110) was examined using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS). The reduced surface was prepared with about 7% oxygen vacancy sites by annealing in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) at 850 K, and the oxidized surface was prepared by exposure of the reduced surface to molecular oxygen at 95 K followed by heating the surface to a variety of temperatures between 200 and 500 K. Acetone adsorbs molecularly on the reduced surface with no evidence for either decomposition or preferential binding at vacancy sites. On the basis of HREELS, the majority of acetone molecules adsorbed in an η1 configuration at Ti4+ sites through interaction of lone-pair electrons on the carbonyl oxygen atom. Repulsive acetone-acetone interactions shift the desorption peak from 345 K at low coverage to 175 K as the first layer saturates with a coverage of ~1 ML. In contrast, about 7% of the acetone adlayer decomposes when the surface is pretreated with molecular oxygen. Acetate is among the detected decomposition products but only comprises about one-third of the amount of decomposed acetone, and its yield depends on the temperature at which the O2-exposed surface was preheated to prior to acetone adsorption. Aside from the small level of irreversible decomposition, about 0.25 ML of acetone is stabilized to 375 K by coadsorbed oxygen. These acetone species exhibit an HREELS spectrum unlike that of η1-acetone or of any other species proposed to exist from the interaction of acetone with TiO2 powders. On the basis of the presence of extensive 16O/18O exchange between acetone and coadsorbed oxygen in the 375 K acetone TPD state, it is proposed that an acetone-oxygen complex forms on the TiO2(110) surface through nucleophilic attack of oxygen on the carbonyl carbon atom of acetone. The reaction between acetone and oxygen is initiated at temperatures as low as 135 K based on HREELS. The major decomposition pathway of the acetone-oxygen complex liberates acetone in the 375 K TPD peak. This species may be a key intermediate in acetone thermal and photolytic chemistry on TiO2 surfaces.

The obtained results have shown that the water contact angle decreases systematically as the number of minima by surface cell unit and the electrostatic potential magnitude at these minima, and consequently the adsorption strength, increases. Thus, this electrostatic potential magnitude can be used as a measure of the efficiency and ability of a chemical group for wetting of a surface by water.

The carotenoid S2 lifetimes/transfer efficiencies, the latter obtained by comparison with β-carotene in solution, are ~97 fs/33% (CP43), ~100 fs/31% (CP47), ~106 fs/26% (PSII-RC), and ~62 fs/57% (PSI). By combining previous steady-state fluorescence excitation measurements with our ultrafast results on the carotenoid S2 lifetime and chlorophyll rise kinetics, we conclude that the β-carotene S1 state is insignificant for light harvesting in the PSII core proteins. Measurement of the steady-state fluorescence excitation spectrum of PSI at 77 K in this work yielded a β-carotene to chlorophyll energy transfer efficiency of 62 ± 3%, suggesting dominant transfer from the carotenoid S2 state. Interestingly, while both PSI and PSII almost exclusively utilize the carotenoid S2 state for light harvesting, we find that this pathway is nearly two times more efficient in PSI.

Intrinsic redox potentials for the [Fe4S4]2+/3+ redox couple involved in these complexes were measured by photoelectron spectroscopy. The oxidation energies from [Fe4S4(SEt)3(SCnH2nOH)]2- to [Fe4S4(SEt)3(SCnH2nOH)]- were determined directly from the photo- electron spectra to be ∼130 meV higher than those for the corresponding [Fe4S4(SEt)3(SCnH2n+1)]2- systems, because of the OH...S hydrogen bond in the former. Preliminary Monte Carlo and density functional calculations showed that the H-bonding takes place between the -OH group and the S on the terminal ligand in [Fe4S4(SEt)3(SC46H12OH)]2-. The current data provide a direct experimental measure of a net H-bonding effect on the redox potential of [Fe4S4] clusters without the perturbation of other environmental effects.

We also investigate the influence of standard shadowing on , and the typical values of partonic momentum fractions relevant in forward scattering. We find that dominate in the cross section.

Dodecanethiol MPNs, in which the monolayer is dodecanethiol linked to the gold nanoparticle, have shown great promise as a GC stationary phase with efficient columns having been produced in a variety of capillary i.d.''s with stationary phase film depths ranging from 10 to 60nm, ±2nm at a given film depth. Stationary phase operational parameters are discussed including maximum operating temperature, sample capacity, and stationary phase lifetime and robustness. An overview of the general method employed for column production is also included. The sample capacity was determined for a 2.5m, 250μm i.d. column with a stationary phase film thickness of 40nm, at 50°C using anisole (k′ = 1.86) as the probe analyte. The sample capacity was experimentally found to be 2.3ng under these conditions, similar to values reported for thicker, polymer stationary phases. The efficiency of the dodecanethiol MPN stationary phase was determined with a 100μm i.d. capillary and found to have a reduced plate height hmin value of 0.95 for octane (k′ = 0.68). Areas of application illustrated and discussed utilizing the dodecanethiol MPN stationary phase include complementary separations such as two-dimensional GC (GC × GC), potential utilization within a model system for a micro-fabricated GC (μGC), as well as efficient single dimension high-speed separations. Initial development of polar stationary phases utilizing 4-chlorobenzenethiol MPNs and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenethiol MPNs is discussed. Included is a selectivity comparison of the retention behavior of the 4-chlorobenzenethiol MPN stationary phase and the dodecanethiol MPN stationary phase.

We also develop a new limiter to restrict the effects of the artificial viscosity to the direction of shock travel, while maintaining enough of the artificial viscous dissipation to keep the SPH technique stable. We present a series of test problems comparing the new viscosity formalism with the standard method for fluid flows in two and three dimensions, such as shearing systems undergoing shocks. We also present tests of the conservation and transport of angular momentum, since total angular momentum conservation is not guaranteed with the new viscosity formalism.

P pilus biogenesis occurs by the chaperone/usher pathway, a terminal branch of the general secretory pathway. Periplasmic chaperone–subunit complexes target to the PapC usher for fiber assembly and secretion through the usher to the cell surface. The molecular details of pilus biogenesis at the usher, and protein secretion across the outer membrane in general, are unclear. We studied the structure and oligomeric state of PapC by gel filtration, dynamic light scattering, and electron microscopy and image analysis. Two-dimensional crystals of wild-type PapC and a C-terminal deletion mutant of PapC were produced by reconstituting detergent purified usher into E.coli lipids. PapC formed a dimer both in detergent solution and in the phospholipid bilayer. Cryo-electron microscopy revealed that the usher forms a twin-pore complex. Removal of the C-terminal domain did not change the basic shape of the PapC molecule, but altered the dimeric association of the usher, suggesting that the C terminus forms part of the dimerization interface. The overall molecular size (11nm), pore size (2nm), and twin-pore configuration of PapC resemble that of the Tom40 complex, a mitochondrial outer membrane protein translocase.

Many of these particles contain carbonaceous components from mineral dust and combustion emissions in Africa, Asia, and North America and reveal reaction rates that are three times slower than those typically used in climate models. These slower rates for converting from volatile or hydrophobic to condensed and hygroscopic organic compounds increase carbonaceous particle burdens in climate models by 70%, producing organic aerosol climate forcings of as much as -0.8 watt per square meter cooling and +0.3 watt per square meter warming.

Nine crystal truncation rods (including specular and non-specular rods) were measured providing both vertical and lateral sensitivity to the interfacial structure. The results reveal that calcite is nearly ideally terminated with a single surface hydration layer that includes two inequivalent water molecules having distinct heights of 2.3±0.1 and 3.5±0.2Å, each with a well-defined lateral registry with respect to the calcite surface. No additional layering of water is observed beyond this surface hydration layer. Small displacements in the outer two calcium carbonate layers were also observed. These results are compared with previous experimental and computational results.

The combined experimental and theoretical results suggest that the surface is dominated by two hydroxyl moieties—hydroxyls that are singly coordinated and doubly coordinated with Fe. The results are consistent with the formation of distinct domains of these surface species; one corresponding to the hydroxylation of the surface Fe-cation predicted to be most stable under UHV conditions, and the second a complete removal of this surface Fe species leaving the hydroxylated oxygen layer. Furthermore, our results indicate that the hydroxylated hematite surface structures are significantly more stable than their dehydroxylated counterparts at high water partial pressures, and this transition in stability occurs at water pressures orders of magnitude below the same transition for α-alumina. These results explain the observed differences in reactivity of hematite and alumina (0001) surfaces with respect to water and binding of aqueous metal cations.

The need for habit control has led to interest in the step‐pinning mechanisms that cause growth inhibition of the {100} face. Model systems representing five stepped KDP {100} surfaces are prepared and studied using ab initio quantum methods. Results of Hartree–Fock and density functional theory plane‐wave calculations are presented, including estimated energies of ion and column removal for the steps. Steps terminated by phosphate ions are found to be less energetically favorable than their potassium‐terminated counterparts. In addition, surface layer removal energies for the {100} face and the potassium‐bounded and phosphate‐bounded {101} faces are reported. The potassium‐bounded {101} face is found to have a greater surface removal energy than the unexpressed phosphate‐bounded {101} face. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Radiation hardness up to the fluence of 1016neq/cm2 is required in the future experiments. Significant improvement in the radiation hardness of silicon sensors has taken place during the past years. However, 1016neq/cm2 is well beyond the radiation tolerance of even the most advanced semiconductor detectors made by commonly adopted technologies. Furthermore, at this radiation load the carrier trapping will limit the charge collection depth to the range of 20–30μm regardless of the depletion depth. The key of our approach is freezing the trapping that affects Charge Collection Efficiency (CCE).

This novel detector type can generate X-Y two-dimensional position sensitivity with single-sided processing and readout. The prototype Si Stripixel detector has an active area of about 3cm × 6cm, which is divided into two identical halves. Both X and Y pitches are 80μm, with a stereo angle of 4.6°. There are 384 X strips and 384 Y strips on each half of the detector. The first prototype Si Stripixel detectors have been produced at BNL. The initial tests of detector properties have yielded good results on position resolution in both X and Y coordinates. The design and mask set production of the 2nd prototype Si strip detectors were completed in December 2003. In the 2nd prototype design, the maximum distance between the X and Y interleaving pixels is shortened significantly to solve the asymmetry in charge sharing between X and Y pixels and strips observed in the first prototype Stripixel detectors. Also, a novel pixel inter-connection scheme with overlapping pixels is implemented, which can generate the same position resolution with twice of the pitch size as in the tradition scheme. In this novel scheme, for the same position resolution, one may just use half of the number of strips (in a given detector size), thus saving the readout channels by a factor of two. The first batch of the fabrication run of the 2nd prototype Stripixel detectors have been completed in February 2004. Preliminary electrical tests have revealed good results. Laser, source and beam tests are planned.

We study theoretically if this is the case in the chalcopyrite family CuGaSe2→CuInSe2, finding that: (i) Bulk CuInSe2 (CIS, Eg=1.04 eV) can be doped at equilibrium n-type either by Cd or Cl, but bulk CuGaSe2 (CGS, Eg=1.68 eV) cannot; (ii) result (i) is primarily because the Cu-vacancy pins the Fermi level in CGS farther below the conduction band minimum than it does in CIS, as explained by the “doping limit rule;” (iii) Cd doping is better than Cl doping, in that CdCu yields in CIS a higher net donor concentration than ClSe; and (iv) in general, the system shows massive compensation of acceptors (CdIII,VCu) and donors (ClSe,CdCu,InCu).

The characteristic recovery time for the device after an avalanche is measured to be ≈3.5 ms, and is a function of bias voltage and temperature. A simple model is presented to describe the performance drop of the VLPCs with rate as a consequence of LFR.

We have determined the crystal structure of YfiT in complex with Ni2+ to a resolution of 1.7 A. YfiT exists as a dimer and binds Ni2+ in a 1:1 stoichiometry. The protein has an unusual four-helix bundle topology and coordinates Ni2+ in an octahedral geometry with three conserved histidines and three waters. Although there is no similarity in their overall structures, the coordination geometry of the metal and the residues that constitute the putative active site in YfiT are similar to those of metalloproteases such as thermoly sin. Our structural analyses suggest that YfiT might function as a metal-dependent hydrolase.

This device enables us to access conformational changes under conditions far from equilibrium and at previously inaccessible lime scales. In this paper, we discuss the design and optimization of the mixer using modeling of convective diffusion phenomena and a characterization of the mixer performance using microparticle image velocinietry, dye quenching, and Flirster resonance energy-transfer (FREl) measurements of single-stranded DNA. We also demonstrate the feasibility of measuring fast protein folding kinetics using FRET with acyl-CoA binding protein.

Nine different counter- anions were studied: Cl-, I-, NO3-, SO42-, CH3COO, HOOCC2H4COO-, -OOCC2H4COO-, HOOCCOHCOOHC-OO-, HOOCCOHCOO-COO-, and -OOCCOHCOO-COO-. The cocation was K+ or Nat Vacancy perturbations were measured on three concentration plateaus of propranolol hydrochloride, at 1.2, 12, and 24 mM, by injecting 100 μL of a pure mixture of methanol and water (40/60, v/v). Indirect detection of the solvent, the counteranion, the co-cation, and the chloride ion was carried out at 325 nm, a wavelength at which only propranolol responds. In a 1.2 mM propranolol hydrochloride solution, there is a 10- fold excess of counteranions and only a positive perturba- tion peak, due to the excluded co-cation and eluling before the column hold-up lime, and a large vacancy peak, associated with propranolol, were recorded. Association between propranolol and the counteranion in excess determines the retention time of this second perturbation. The hydrophobicity of the complexes increases in the order Cl- /{112_2} slip system, which is a well-known secondary slip system in hcp metals. Unlike the hcp case, however, where shuffle-type dislocations must be invoked for this slip plane, we show that glide-type dislocations are also possible. Comparisons of measured and theoretical critical thicknesses show that fully strained films can be grown into the metastable regime, which we attribute to limitations on defect nucleation. At advanced stages of relaxation, interfacial multiplication of dislocations dominates the strain relaxation process. This work demonstrates that misfit dislocations are important mechanisms for relaxation of strained III-nitride heterostructures that can contribute significantly to the overall defect density.

The multilayer stress evolution is compared with residual stresses in single layer Cu films and single layer 330 SS films, also measured by substrate curvature technique, with respective film thicknesses varying from 5 to 500 nm. Both single layer and multilayer films exhibit high tensile residual stresses that increase with decreasing layer thickness, but are found to be lower than the respective yield strengths. The intrinsic tensile residual stress evolution with film thickness is explained using the island coalescence model. The difference between the multilayer residual stress and the average residual stresses in single-layered Cu and 330 SS films is interpreted in terms of interface stress.

Variations in the chirality and the periodicity lead to noticeable changes in the Kerr intensity versus the grazing angle, which is due not only to a large sensitivity of the Kerr intensity of the linear p polarization to both the magnitude and direction of the transverse components of magnetizations, but also to a large dependence of the depth sensitivity on the grazing angle at the resonance regions. The measurement and analysis of the specular Kerr intensity are relatively straightforward in determining the inhomogeneous spin structures in depth, compared to those of the Kerr rotation and ellipticity. This is proven to be a convenient and useful probe to determine the handedness of spin spiral structures, as well as to resolve the detailed magnetic heterostructures in depth in ultrathin-layered films.

At a spectrometer frequency of 190 GHz, a spectral analysis of a powder sample was unambiguously possible. The observed mean value D=+35.28 GHz can be rationalized if Fe3+ ions substitute for Ti4+ at the B site of the perovskite ABO3 lattice forming a directly coordinated FeTi′–VO·· defect associate. A consistent fit of the multifrequency data necessitated the use of a distribution of the D values with a variance of about 1 GHz. This statistical distribution of values is probably related to more distant defects and vacancies.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/12/15/ VL - 96 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 7471 EP - 7475 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The underlying phenomenology of the crystallographic orientation dependence on ferroelectric fatigue behavior was investigated in rhombohedral Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-5% PbTiO3 (PZN-5PT) crystals. It was recently found that an electric field (E field) application along the <001> direction of PZN-5PT crystal did not induce the fatigue to 105 cycles of bipolar electric field cycling (switching), while the ferroelectric fatigue became evident from 103 cycles of polarization switching along the <111> direction. In this study, the dependence of ferroelectric fatigue on the crystal orientation is explained by changes in internal stress, switching mechanisms, and domain configuration. The magnitude of the in-plane tensile strain was a maximum during a domain switching in <111> oriented crystals, resulting in the suppressed motion of domain boundaries in <111> oriented crystals. In addition to the stress, differences in domain switching mechanisms and domain boundary density for <001> and <111> oriented crystals contributed to the orientation dependence of ferroelectric fatigue. Sideways domain growth became dominant and domain width increased when the E field was applied along the <111> direction. Sideways domain growth of <111> oriented crystal swept oxygen vacancies of the domains during the consecutive switching process, leading to the effective accumulation of oxygen vacancies at the domain boundaries. Smaller domain boundary densities found in <111> oriented crystals, in comparison to <100> oriented crystals, also contributed to the increase in the density of accumulated oxygen vacancies at domain boundaries after sweeping oxygen vacancies of the domains, due to the impact of increased E-field cycling and cumulative switching. High in-plane tensile stress and a high concentration of oxygen vacancies at the domain boundaries due to sideways growth and small domain boundary density were suggested to pin the movement of domain boundaries and enhance the fatigue in <111> oriented crystals.

It was found that there are two distinguishable but related mechanisms that control the critical current-density-field Jc(H) behavior: increase of upper critical field Hc2 and improvement of flux pinning. There is a clear correlation between the critical temperature Tc, the resistivity ρ, the residual resistivity ratio RRR=R(300 K)/R(40 K), the irreversibility field H*, and the alloying state in the samples. The Hc2 is about the same within the measured field range for both the Mg-vapor-treated and the SiC-doped samples. However, the Jc(H) for the latter is higher than the former in a high-field regime by an order of magnitude. Mg vapor treatment induced intrinsic scattering and contributed to an increase in Hc2. SiC doping, on the other hand, introduced many nanoscale precipitates and disorder at B and Mg sites, provoking an increase of ρ(40 K) from 1 μΩ cm (RRR=15) for the clean-limit sample to 300 μΩ cm (RRR=1.75) for the SiC-doped sample, leading to significant enhancement of both Hc2 and H* with only a minor effect on Tc. Electron energy-loss spectroscope and transmission electron microscope analysis revealed impurity phases: Mg2Si, MgO, MgB4, BOx, SixByOz, and BC at a scale below 10 nm and an extensive domain structure of 2–4-nm domains in the doped sample, which serve as strong pinning centers.

Both core-level and valance-band PES are measured for various heat treatments. Glancing-incidence excitation was used to characterize the outer 2-nm Nb2O5 layer without influence from the substrate and to profile through various oxides by varying the incidence angle. Immediately adjacent to this amorphous layer is a layer of NbO2, which contributes to the density of states at 1.2 eV below the Fermi level. Thereafter, there exist other oxides that interface with the metal substrate. Annealing at 430 K induces a “mild” chemical reaction, which is contained essentially in the oxide layer. Annealing at 550 K causes oxygen diffusion into the metal and leaves an oxide layer consisting primarily of Nb2O and a roughened surface, as evidenced by angle-resolved photoemission measurements. Oxide composition alteration caused by annealing at these moderated temperatures is believed to be interface mediated.

In this work we compare the properties of SiCxNy films obtained using radio-frequency (rf) and pulsed glow discharge (PGD) plasmas with combinations of SiH4, C2H2, N2, and Ar source gases. The pulsed voltage used for the rf deposition was 200 V and for the PGD deposition it was 4 kV. During the rf growth, the growth takes place mostly by attaching neutral radicals to form chemical bonds. In the PGD method, the deposition takes place by subplantation and surface activation by energetic ions. We show that in the case of low-energy RF deposition, a high relative number of C–N bonds with sp3 hybridization is formed and very few Si–C bonds can be observed. Apparently the growth of carbon nitride and silicon nitride networks takes place independently. This indicates that SiH3 radicals attach to the dangling bonds of silicon and nitrogen, whereas C2H radicals attach to the dangling bonds of carbon and nitrogen. During pulsed glow discharge deposition, bonds between all three components are formed apparently by means of subplantation and damage-induced disorder. The hardness of the PGD films exceed that of the RF films, showing that to form a dense SiCxNy film one has to either supply energy during the growth of the films by heating the substrate, as in the case of chemical vapor deposition or by using energetic ions.

The different magnetoresistive behaviors observed in the two samples coincide with the formation of different amounts of striped areas intergrown in the samples. The striped areas are comprised of a disordered and cation deficient phase, SrFe1-x-yMox-zO3-δ. The sample magnetization and magnetoresistance values decrease significantly with an increased presence of the striped phase. The striped phase was promoted by typical reducing formation conditions for Sr2FeMoO6 in Ar-1% H2 gas.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2004/12/15/ VL - 96 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 7760 EP - 7777 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - We describe the experimental implementation of a superluminal (i.e., faster than light in vacuo) polarization current distribution that both oscillates and undergoes centripetal acceleration. Theoretical treatments predict that the radiation emitted by each volume element of the superluminally moving distribution pattern will comprise a erenkov-like envelope with two sheets that meet along a cusp. Correspondingly, the emission from the experimental machine is found to be tightly beamed in both the azimuthal and polar directions. The beaming is frequency independent and has a sharply defined and unchanging geometry determined only by the speed and path of the moving distribution pattern, i.e., by the parameters governing the structure of the erenkov-like envelopes. In addition, over a restricted range of angles, we detect the presence of cusps in the emitted radiation. These, which are due to the focusing of wave fronts on a propagating space curve, result in the reception, during a short time period, of radiation emitted over a considerably longer period of (retarded) source time. The intensity of the radiation at these angles was observed to decline more slowly with increasing distance from the source than would the emission from a conventional antenna. The angular distribution of the emitted radiation and the properties associated with the cusps are in good quantitative agreement with theoretical models of superluminal sources once the effect of reflections from the earths surface are taken into account. In particular, the prediction that the beaming and the slow decay should extend into the far zone has been tested to several hundred Fresnel distances (Rayleigh ranges). The excellent agreement between the theoretical calculations and the data suggests that the apparatus achieves precise and reproducible control of the polarization current and that similar machines could be of general interest for studying and utilizing the novel effects associated with superluminal electrodynamics.

We have employed targeted gene mutagenesis, DNA microarrays, proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and computational motif discovery tools to define the S. oneidensis Fur regulon. Using this integrated approach, we identified nine probable operons (containing 24 genes) and 15 individual open reading frames (ORFs), either with unknown functions or encoding products annotated as transport or binding proteins, that are predicted to be direct targets of Fur-mediated repression. This study suggested, for the first time, possible roles for four operons and eight ORFs with unknown functions in iron metabolism or iron transport-related functions. Proteomic analysis clearly identified a number of transporters, binding proteins, and receptors related to iron uptake that were up-regulated in response to a fur deletion and verified the expression of nine genes originally annotated as pseudogenes. Comparison of the transcriptome and proteome data revealed strong correlation for genes shown to be undergoing large changes at the transcript level. A number of genes encoding components of the electron transport system were also differentially expressed in a fur deletion mutant. The gene omcA (SO1779), which encodes a decaheme cytochrome c, exhibited significant decreases in both mRNA and protein abundance in the fur mutant and possessed a strong candidate Fur-binding site in its upstream region, thus suggesting that omcA may be a direct target of Fur activation.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2004/12/15/ VL - 121 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 11691 EP - 11701 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - Relative integrated cross sections are measured for rotationally inelastic scattering of NO(2Π1/2), hexapole selected in the upper Λ-doublet level of the ground rotational state (j=0.5), in collisions with He at a nominal energy of 514 cm-1. Application of a static electric field E in the scattering region, directed parallel or antiparallel to the relative velocity vector v, allows the state-selected NO molecule to be oriented with either the N end or the O end towards the incoming He atom. Laser-induced fluorescence detection of the final state of the NO molecule is used to determine the experimental steric asymmetry, SA≡(σv↑↓E-σv↑↑E)/(σv↑↓E+σv↑↑E), which is equal to within a factor of (-1) to the molecular steric effect, Si→f≡(σHe→NO-σHe→ON)/(σHe→NO+σHe→ON). The dependence of the integral inelastic cross section on the incoming Λ-doublet component is also observed as a function of the final rotational (j′), spin-orbit (Ω′), and Λ-doublet (ε′) state. The measured steric asymmetries are significantly larger than previously observed for NO-Ar scattering, supporting earlier proposals that the repulsive part of the interaction potential is responsible for the steric asymmetry. In contrast to the case of scattering with Ar, the steric asymmetry of NO-He collisions is not very sensitive to the value of Ω′. However, the Λ-doublet propensities are very different for [Ω=0.5(F1)→Ω′=1.5(F2)] and [Ω=0.5(F1)→Ω′=0.5(F1)] transitions. Spin-orbit manifold conserving collisions exhibit a propensity for parity conservation at low Δj, but spin-orbit manifold changing collisions do not show this propensity. In conjunction with the experiments, state-to-state cross sections for scattering of oriented NO(2Π) molecules with He atoms are predicted from close-coupling calculations on restricted coupled-cluster methods including single, double, and noniterated triple excitations [J. Klos, G. Chalasinski, M. T. Berry, R. Bukowski, and S. M. Cybulski, J. Chem. Phys. 112, 2195 (2000)] and correlated electron-pair approximation [M. Yang and M. H. Alexander, J. Chem. Phys. 103, 6973 (1995)] potential energy surfaces. The calculated steric asymmetry Si→f of the inelastic cross sections at Etr=514 cm-1 is in reasonable agreement with that derived from the present experimental measurements for both spin-manifold conserving (F1→F1) and spin-manifold changing (F1→F2) collisions, except that the overall sign of the effect is opposite. Additionally, calculated field-free integral cross sections for collisions at Etr=508 cm-1 are compared to the experimental data of Joswig et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 85, 1904 (1986)]. Finally, the calculated differential cross section for collision energy Etr=491 cm-1 is compared to experimental data of Westley et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 114, 2669 (2001)] for the spin-orbit conserving transition F1 (j=0.5)→F1f (j′=3.5). © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The basic interactions are hydrophobic and polar interactions. Essential physical features of lipid bilayers are maintained using this model, and relatively long times can be simulated in comparison to atomistic models. Self-assembly from a random starting configuration to a bilayer can readily be followed using molecular dynamics simulations. The diffusion of lipid molecules well beyond their nearest neighbors is attained. As a basis for description of the model, the area per lipid, the bending modulus, and the area compressibility as a function of temperature and tail length are calculated. A liquid to gel transition is observed and quantitatively characterized. Both saturated and unsaturated lipids are treated. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Parameters in the climatology include cloud liquid water path, cloud-base height, and surface solar flux. These parameters are retrieved from measurements produced by a dual-channel microwave radiometer, a millimeter-wave cloud radar, a micropulse lidar, a Belfort ceilometer, shortwave radiometers, and atmospheric temperature profiles amalgamated from multiple sources, including radiosondes. While no significant interannual differences are observed in the datasets, there are diurnal variations with nighttime liquid water paths consistently higher than daytime values. The summer months of June, July, and August have the lowest liquid water paths and the highest cloud-base heights. Model outputs of cloud liquid water paths from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model and the Eta Model for 104 model output location time series (MOLTS) stations in the environs of the SGP central facility are compared to observations. The ECMWF and MOLTS median liquid water paths are greater than 3 times the observed values. The MOLTS data show lower liquid water paths in summer, which is consistent with observations, while the ECMWF data exhibit the opposite tendency. A parameterization of normalized cloud forcing that requires only cloud liquid water path and solar zenith angle is developed from the observations. The parameterization, which has a correlation coefficient of 0.81 with the observations, provides estimates of surface solar flux that are comparable to values obtained from explicit radiative transfer calculations based on plane-parallel theory. This parameterization is used to estimate the impact on the surface solar flux of differences in the liquid water paths between models and observations. Overall, there is a low bias of 50% in modeled normalized cloud forcing resulting from the excess liquid water paths in the two models. Splitting the liquid water path into two components, cloud thickness and liquid water content, shows that the higher liquid water paths in the model outputs are primarily a result of higher liquid water contents, although cloud thickness may a play a role, especially for the ECMWF model results.

It is shown that the analytical failure forms decompose into two modes, one for out-of-plane, delamination-type failure and one for in-plane, fiber-controlled-type failure. The work here is mainly given over to the delamination mode of failure. Experimental results are presented for laminates in this mode of failure. These results are then integrated with the analytical forms to give a simple criterion for delamination failure.

For the experiments, the GaN NLs were grown to a thickness of 30nm at 540°C, and then heated to 1050°C, following by holding at 1050°C for additional time. As the temperature, T, is increased, the NL decomposes uniformly beginning at 850°C up to 980°C as observed by the decrease in the optical reflectance signal and the absence of change in the NL AFM images. Decomposition of the original NL material drives the formation of GaN nuclei on top of the NL, which begin to appear on the NL near 1000°C, increasing the NL roughness. The GaN nuclei are formed by gas-phase transport of Ga atoms generated during the NL decomposition that recombine with ambient NH3. The gas-phase mechanism responsible for forming the GaN nuclei is demonstrated in two ways. First, the NL decomposition kinetics has an activation energy, EA, of 2.7eV and this EA is observed in the NL roughening as the GaN nuclei increase in size. Second, the power spectral density functions measured with atomic force microscopy reveal that the GaN nuclei grow via an evaporation and recondensation mechanism. Once the original NL material is fully decomposed, the GaN nuclei stop growing in size and begin to decompose. For 30nm thick NLs used in this study, approximately of the NL Ga atoms are reincorporated into GaN nuclei. A detailed description of the NL evolution as it is heated to high temperature is presented, along with recommendations on how to enhance or reduce the NL decomposition and nuclei formation before high T GaN growth.

Experiment results showed that the magneto-impedance ratio of the wires with a layer of deposited copper is higher at low frequencies and lower at high frequencies (above 50MHz), as compared to that of the microwires without an outer copper layer. The peak MI magnetic field, corresponding to the maximum of the magneto-impedance ratio shifts towards higher field values with increasing coating thickness of copper layer. The results are explained in terms of electro-magnetic interactions between the conductive layer and the ferromagnetic core.

A generalized dipole–dipole interaction is derived, where the magnetic moments associated with the two particles interact through a magnetometric tensor field, carrying all the shape information. Example computations are given in order to verify the correctness of the formalism. The well-known result of the interaction between prisms, employed in most micromagnetic simulations, is correctly retrieved. The numerical accuracy of the method is also compared to a simple analytical result. Finally, one additional example computation, two interlaced interacting rings, is presented to show the generality of the formalism.

SN - 00222461 AB - A new controller has been designed for vacuum arc remelting titanium alloys based on an accurate, low order, nonlinear, melting model. The controller adjusts melting current and electrode drive speed to match estimated gap and melt rate with operator supplied reference values. Estimates of gap and melt rate are obtained by optimally combining predictions from the model with measurements of voltage, current, and electrode position. Controller tests were carried out at Timet Corporation's Henderson Technical Laboratory in Henderson, Nevada. Previous test results were used to correlate measured gap to voltage and current. A controller test melt was performed wherein a 0.279 m diameter Ti-6Al-4V electrode was melted into 0.356 m diameter ingot. Commanded melt rate was varied from 20 to 90 g/s and commanded gap was held at 1.5 cm. Because no measure of electrode weight was available on the test furnace, electrode position data were analyzed and the results used to determine the actual melt rate. A gap-voltage-current factor space model was used to check estimated gap. The controller performed well, and both melt rate and electrode gap control were successfully demonstrated.

SN - 00222461 AB - A particularly challenging problem associated with vacuum arc remelting occurs when trying to maintain accurate control of electrode melt rate as the melt zone passes through a transverse crack in the electrode. As the melt zone approaches the crack, poor heat conduction across the crack drives the local temperature in the electrode tip above its steady-state value, causing the controller to cut back on melting current in response to an increase in melting efficiency. The difficulty arises when the melt zone passes through the crack and encounters the relatively cold metal on the other side, giving rise to an abrupt drop in melt rate. This extremely dynamic melting situation is very difficult to handle using standard load-cell based melt rate control, resulting in large melt rate excursions. We have designed and tested a new generation melt rate controller that is capable of controlling melt rate through crack events. The controller is designed around an accurate dynamic melting model that uses four process variables: electrode tip thermal boundary layer, electrode gap, electrode mass and melting efficiency. Tests, jointly sponsored by the Specialty Metals Processing Consortium and Sandia National Laboratories, were performed at Carpenter Technology Corporation wherein two 0.43 m diameter Pyromet® 718 electrodes were melted into 0.51 m diameter ingots. Each electrode was cut approximately halfway through its diameter with an abrasive saw to simulate an electrode crack. Relatively accurate melt rate control through the cuts was demonstrated despite the observation of severe arc disturbances and loss of electrode gap control. Subsequent to remelting, one ingot was sectioned in the “as cast” condition, whereas the other was forged to 0.20 m diameter billet. Macrostructural characterization showed solidification white spots in regions affected by the cut in the electrode.

With this approach, ordered arrays of PS spheres are infused with a resorcinol–formaldehyde sol–gel solution. Following gelation of the sol, the RF/PS composite was washed with toluene to remove the template. Periodic macroporous RF aerogels were obtained after supercritical drying with liquid carbon dioxide. These materials can then be carbonized under a nitrogen atmosphere to afford the corresponding macroporous CAs. Scanning electron microscopic examination shows that both the organic and carbon materials consist of many hexagonally ordered domains of spherical cavities with different crystal orientations, reflecting the symmetry of the original PS template.

The addition of the organic epoxide propylene oxide to an ethanolic solution of NiCl2 ·6H2O resulted in the formation of an opaque light green monolithic gel and subsequent drying with supercritical CO2 gave a monolithic aerogel material of the same color. This material has been characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, elemental analysis, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis. The results indicate that the nickel(II)-based aerogel has very low bulk density (98kgm−3 (∼98% porous)), high surface area (413m2 g−1), and has a particulate-type aerogel microstructure made up of very fine spherical particles with an open porous network. By comparison, a precipitate of Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 is obtained when the same preparation is attempted with the common Ni(NO 3)2 ·6H2O salt as the precursor. The implications of the difference of reactivity of the two different precursors are discussed in the context of the mechanism of gel formation via the epoxide addition method. The synthesis of nickel(II)-based aerogel, using the epoxide addition method, is especially unique in our experience. It is our first example of the successful preparation of a metal-oxide-based aerogel using a divalent metal ion and may have implications for the application of this method to the preparation of aerogels or nanoparticles of other divalent metal oxides. To our knowledge this is the first report of a monolithic pure nickel(II)-based aerogel materials.

In a typical synthesis, the metal-oxide precursor, MCl x · yH2O(x =2–6, y =0–7), was mixed with the silica precursor, tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), in ethanol and gelled using an organic epoxide. The successful preparation of homogeneous, monolithic materials depended on the oxidation state of the metal as well as the epoxide chosen for gelation. The composition of the resulting materials was varied from M/Si=1–5 (mol/mol) by adjusting the amount of TMOS added to the initial metal-oxide precursor solution. Supercritical processing of the gels in CO2 resulted in monolithic, porous aerogel nanocomposite materials with surface areas ranging from 100–800m2 g−1. The bulk materials are composed of metal oxide/silica particles that vary in size from 5–20nm depending on the epoxide used for gelation. Metal oxide and silica dispersion throughout the bulk material is extremely uniform on the nanoscale. The versatility and control of the synthesis method will be discussed as well as the properties of the resulting metal–silicon mixed oxide nanocomposite materials.

When R=CH2CH2CF3, chemically and physically stable gels and aerogels that are hydrophobic can be readily made. These types of aerogels have been shown to be adsorbents for organics compounds from aqueous phase. In order to understand the role of the fluorinated group in making these materials hydrophobic, various formulations of CF3CH2CH2-modified aerogels have been synthesized and characterized. These materials were formed by the reaction of CF3CH2CH2Si(OCH3)3 and Si(OCH3)4 in CH3OH with NH4OH as the catalyst followed by supercritical drying in CO2. A 0.7 mole ratio of the reactants CF3CH2CH2Si(OCH3)3/Si(OCH3)4 is necessary to make hydrophobic aerogels that meet the 2.5% water adsorption limit. Lower reactant mole ratios yield materials that adsorb more water, reaching a saturation value in roughly 1 month, where the amount adsorbed is inversely proportional to the amount of CF3CH2CH2 group incorporated.

Subsequent supercritical drying produced materials that have a wide range of surface areas and porosities. Spectroscopic characterization, revealed normal Si–O substitution as well as incorporation of the carbon chain into the Si framework. Heating of the stable forms of the materials in air at different temperatures yielded, depending upon oxidation conditions, several materials with much higher surface areas, typical of aerogels. Pore-size distribution measurements revealed mesopore features that differed from the non-oxidized materials for some R groups. Spectroscopic characterization revealed the disappearance of the R–Si substitution for all R groups and the appearance of an oxidized intermediate for R=C16H33.

Rhodamine 6G (R6G), a common molecule used for testing SERS activity on silver, but generally difficult to detect on gold substrates, has been found to readily bind to the GNA and exhibit strong SERS activity due to the unique surface chemistry afforded by sulfur species on the surface. This GNA system has yielded a large SERS enhancement of 107-109 in bulk solution for R6G, on par with or greater than any previously reported gold SERS substrate. SERS activity has also been successfully demonstrated for several biological molecules including adenine, l-cysteine, l-lysine, and l-histidine for the first time on a gold SERS substrate, showing the potential of this GNA as a convenient and powerful SERS substrate for biomolecular detection. In addition, the SERS spectrum of R6G on single aggregates has been measured. We have shown that the special surface properties of the GNA, in conjunction with strong near-IR absorption, make it useful for SERS analysis of a wide variety of molecules.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/12/15/ VL - 108 IS - 50 M3 - Article SP - 19432 EP - 19441 SN - 15206106 AB - Detailed and global models are presented for thermodynamically inhibited nucleation-growth reactions and applied to the β-δ phase transition of HMX (nitramine octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine). The detailed model contains separate kinetic parameters for the nucleation process, including an activation energy distribution resulting from a distribution of defect energies, and for movement of the resulting reaction interface within a single particle. A thermodynamic inhibition term is added to both processes so that the rates go to zero at the transition temperature. The global model adds the thermodynamic inhibition term to the extended Prout-Tompkins nucleation-growth formalism for single particles or powders. Model parameters are calibrated from differential scanning calorimetry data. The activation energy for nucleation (333 kJ/mol) is substantially higher than that for growth (29.3 kJ/mol). Use of a small activation energy distribution (~400 J/mol) for the defects improves the fit to a powered sample for both the early and late stages of the transition. The effective overall activation energy for the global model (208.8 kJ/mol) is between that of nucleation and growth. Comparison of the two models with experiment indicates the thermodynamic inhibition term is more important than the energy distribution feature for this transition. On the basis of the applicability of the Prout-Tompkins kinetics approach to a wide range of organic and inorganic materials, both models should have equally broad applicability for thermodynamically constrained reactions.

As a result, many strategies have appeared that can modify native protein functional groups (most commonly lysine and cysteine side chains) in a chemoselective fashion. However, the high frequency of lysines on protein surfaces severely limits the site selectivity of reactions targeting this residue, typically leaving cysteine modification as the only effective way to functionalize specific locations. To complement this technique, the authors have focused on the development of new protein modification reactions that target aromatic amino acids, as these residues are displayed with intermediate frequency on protein surfaces and can be introduced genetically without changing the overall charge state or redox sensitivity.

The two protons are delivered by an elaborate distal-pocket proton-delivery network connected by H-bonds to the oxy-ferroheme. The helium-temperature results show that HO has an active-site structure fully organized to support proton tunneling, with a relatively short proton-transfer distance and no need for dynamic modulation of the distance.

Similar PES spectra were observed between the W and Mo species. A large energy gap between the first and second PES bands was observed for MO-3 and correlated with a stable closed-shell MO3 neutral cluster. The electron binding energies of MO-4 increase significantly relative to those of MO-3, and there is also an abrupt spectral pattern change between MO-3 and MO-4. Both MO-4 and MO-5 give PES features with extremely high electron binding energies (>5.0 eV) due to oxygen-2p-based orbitals. The experimental results are compared with extensive density functional and ab initio [CCSD(T)] calculations, which were performed to elucidate the electronic and structural evolution for the tungsten oxide clusters. WO3 is found to be a closed-shell, nonplanar molecule with C3v symmetry. WO4 is shown to have a triplet ground state (³A2) with D2d symmetry, whereas WO5 is found to be an unusual charge-transfer complex, (O-2)WO+3 · WO4 and WO5 are shown to possess W--O˙ and O-˙2 radical characters, respectively.

The difficulty lies in the inability of existing dislocation dynamics (DD) codes to handle a sufficiently large number of dislocation lines, to establish a statistically representative model of crystal plasticity. A new massively parallel DD code is developed that is capable of modeling million-dislocation systems by employing thousands of processors. We discuss an important ingredient of this code — the mobility laws dictating the behavior of individual dislocations. They are materials input for DD simulations and are constructed based on the understanding of dislocation motion at the atomistic level.

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was the primary method of investigation. Within the 4–16 h aging interval, nanometer scale, homogeneously dispersed, coherent, lath-like particles were detected in the matrix. The orientation of the lath particles in the matrix is such that the edges are aligned along the 〈1 0 0〉Al directions. From the Fourier transformation of the HRTEM images obtained on 〈1 0 0〉Al zones, it was possible to confirm that two variants give rise to diffraction spots that were previously associated with the presence of S″-phase in “Cu lean” Al–Mg–Cu alloys. Two other variants give rise to streaked diffraction spots positioned around the (1 1 0)Al. The detected particles are termed GPBII in this study, instead of previously suggested S″-phase notation. The findings of this study are also compared with those of the frequently studied “Cu rich” Al–Cu–Mg alloying system.

When the research was initiated, it was already known that for metals and some simple salts the rates of vaporization in vacuum are predictable as functions of temperature if the thermodynamic properties of the solid and vapors were known. That simple behavior was not shown by the few congruent decomposition reactions that had been quantitatively studied. Our review focuses on calcite decomposition because it illustrates the daunting array of variables—heat transfer, CO2 pressure, crystal structure and crystal orientation, particle size, particle shape, particle-pore distribution, surface energy of the CaO reaction product, and interface strain—all of which could influence the reaction kinetics. In the body of the paper we review the theoretical bases of our kinetic evaluations and experimental studies for single crystals and powder beds. As a major conclusion we identify an easily achievable range of experimental conditions within which investigators in different laboratories have obtained concordant measurements of calcite decomposition rates. This is an important result because a prominent international committee concluded a decade ago that goal had not yet been achieved.Another important conclusion is that the rate limiting step of calcite decomposition probably occurs in a CO2-depleted surface layer or layers of calcite. At high relative pressures of CO2 the process is kinetically reversible, but at low relative pressures, it is highly irreversible. We think the latter rate is determined by a strain-induced collapse of CO2-deficient calcite at its interface with crystalline CaO rods with simultaneous expulsion of CO2 gas. Such a mechanism seems not to have been suggested before, but it probably accounts for some of the exothermic events observed during heating of solids that decompose incongruently. The role of particle size on such a mechanism has been investigated and discussed.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/12/16/ VL - 432 IS - 7019 M3 - Article SP - 922 EP - 924 SN - 00280836 AB - Nearly 200 million individuals worldwide are currently infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, the latest treatment for HCV infection, elicits long-term responses in only about 50% of patients treated. No effective alternative treatments exist for non-responders. Consequently, significant efforts are continuing to maximize response to combination therapy. However, rational therapy optimization is precluded by the poor understanding of the mechanism(s) of ribavirin action against HCV. Ribavirin alone induces either a transient early decline or no decrease in HCV viral load, but in combination with interferon it significantly improves long-term response rates. Here we present a model of HCV dynamics in which, on the basis of growing evidence, we assume that ribavirin decreases HCV infectivity in an infected individual in a dose-dependent manner. The model quantitatively predicts long-term response rates to interferon monotherapy and combination therapy, fits observed patterns of HCV RNA decline in patients undergoing therapy, reconciles conflicting observations of the influence of ribavirin on HCV RNA decline, provides key insights into the mechanism of ribavirin action against HCV, and establishes a framework for rational therapy optimization.

A platinum(IV)-oxo compound flanked by two polytungstate ligands, K[sub 7]Na[sub 9][O=Pt(H[sub 2]O)L[sub 2]], L = [PW[sub 9]O[sub 34]][sup 9-], has now been prepared and isolated at room temperature as airstable brown crystals. X-ray and neutron diffraction at 30 kelvin revealed a very short [1.720(18) angstrom] Pt-O bond and no evidence of a hydrogen atom at the terminal oxygen, ruling out a better precedented Pt-OH complex. Density functional theory and spectroscopic data account for the stability of the Pt(IV)-oxo unit by electron withdrawal into delocalized orbitals of the polytungstates.

Charge-state-averaged self-sputtering yields were determined for both zirconium and gold ions generated by a cathodic vacuum arc. Films were deposited on differently biased substrates exposed to streaming Zr and Au vacuum arc plasma. The self-sputtering yields for both metals were estimated to be about 0.05 in the absence of bias, and exceeding 0.5 when bias reached -50 V. These surprisingly high values can be reconciled with binary collision theory and molecular dynamics calculations taking the high kinetic and potential energy of vacuum arc ions into account.

C plane of the film is parallel to the substrate surface and its <100> is along <110> of the pseudocubic LaAlO3 cell.

The surface morphology of selected films is examined by atomic force microscopy. Comparison of these measurements with critical-thickness models for brittle fracture and dislocation glide suggests that the onset of strain relaxation occurs by surface fracture for all compositions. Misfit-dislocations follow initial fracture, with slip-system selection occurring under the influence of composition-dependent changes in surface morphology.

The nonequilibrium spin accumulation in Au results in a difference between the chemical potentials for spin-up and spin-down electrons that is detected as a field-dependent voltage signal using a second Py electrode. The magnitude of the voltage contrast (>10%) and its coincidence with the magnetic switching of the Py electrodes attest to the spin-sensitive origin of the signals. By increasing the separation of the Py injector and detector, we observe an exponential decay of the spin signals. The measurements yield a spin-diffusion length of 63±15 nm and an injected spin polarization of 3% in Au at 10 K.

Each of the two Aα chains of fibrinogen-340 is replaced in fibrinogen-420 by an Aα isoform termed αE. Such chains contain a globular C-terminal extension, αEC, that is homologous with the C-terminal regions of Bβ and γ chains in the fibrin D domain. The αEC domain lacks a functional fibrin polymerization pocket like those found in the D domain, but it does contain a binding site for β2 integrins. Electron microscopy of fibrinogen-340 molecules showed the major core fibrinogen domains, D–E–D, plus globular portions of the C-terminal αC domains. Fibrinogen-420 molecules had two additional globular domains that were attributable to αEC. Turbidity measurements of thrombin-cleaved fibrinogen-420 revealed a reduced rate of fibrin polymerization and a lower maximum turbidity. Thromboelastographic measurements also showed a reduced rate of fibrin-420 polymerization (amplitude development) compared with fibrin-340. Nevertheless, the final amplitude (MA) and the calculated elastic modulus (G) for fibrin-420 were greater than those for fibrin-340. These results suggested a greater degree of fibrin-420 branching and thinner matrix fibers, and such structures were found in SEM images. In addition, fibrin-420 fibers were irregular and often showed nodular structures protruding from the fiber surface. These nodularities represented αEC domains, and possibly αC domains as well. TEM images of negatively shadowed fibrin-420 networks showed irregular fiber borders, but the fibers possessed the same 22.5-nm periodicity that characterizes all fibrin fibers. From this result, we conclude that fibrin-420 fiber assembly occurs through the same D–E interactions that drive the assembly of all fibrin fibrils, and therefore that the staggered overlapping molecular packing arrangement is the same in both types of fibrin. The αEC domains are arrayed on fiber surfaces, and in this location, they would very likely slow lateral fibril association, causing thinner, more branched fibers to form. However, their location on the fiber surface would facilitate cellular interactions through the integrin receptor binding site.

The efforts of three NIH Mutagenesis Centers established for the detection of neuroscience-related phenotypes are described. Each center has developed an extensive panel of phenotype screens that assess nervous system structure and function. In particular, these screens focus on complex behavioral traits from drug and alcohol responses to circadian rhythms to epilepsy. Each of these centers has developed a bioinformatics infrastructure to track the extensive number of transactions that are inherent in these large-scale projects. Over 100 new mouse mutant lines have been defined through the efforts of these three mutagenesis centers and are presented to the research community via the centralized Web presence of the Neuromice.org consortium (http://www.neuromice.org). This community resource provides visitors with the ability to search for specific mutant phenotypes, to view the genetic and phenotypic details of mutant mouse lines, and to order these mice for use in their own research program.

The effective theory below is found to be the highly successful theory in 5D with natural doublet–triplet splitting, no proton decay from operators of dimension four or five, unified mass relations for heavier generations only, and a precise prediction for gauge coupling unification. A more unified gauge symmetry, and the possibility of Higgs doublets being components of the higher-dimensional gauge multiplet, are therefore compatible with a large energy interval where physics is described by gauge symmetry in 5D. This leads to the distinctive branching ratios for proton decay from gauge boson exchange, (), for well-motivated locations for matter. Several phenomenological features of the higher unified gauge symmetry are discussed, including the role of an extra gauge symmetry, which survives compactification, in the generation of neutrino masses.

Observation-based regional distributions of trace gases are reconstructed using the observations obtained by measurements on board the DC-8 and P3-B aircrafts. Systematic features of the spatial distribution for each species are identified. It is found that the observed concentrations of CO and some NMHCs, and the ratios between these species, are highly associated with the source distribution features and their regional characteristics. Reconstructed fields of the observed and modeled ethane/CO and ethane/propane are found to reproduce well the estimated emission ratios in East Asia. We also investigated the time rate of change of the concentration of species and their ratio along the trajectory. From this analysis the propane/ethane and propane/acetylene ratios are shown to preserve their emission ratios during regional transport. However systematic differences in the propane vs. acetylene/CO relationships are found between the model and observation values. This analysis suggests that further efforts are needed to improve the estimates of biomass burning emissions in SE Asia. The results presented in this paper also suggest ways to further extend the capabilities to derive observation-based inventories.

It has been demonstrated, however, that two of the more common methods used for such calculations produce spin–orbit coupling energies for p‐type orbitals that are numerically unstable. The source of the instability and methods for its mitigation are discussed here. In particular, a stabilization strategy suggested by Söderlind, the complete neglect of p‐type spin–orbit coupling, is tested for a prototypical p‐bonded metal, Pb, using the linear combinations of Gaussian‐type orbitals–fitting function method. The zero‐pressure lattice constant and bulk modulus are both insensitive to the p‐type spin–orbit coupling. The density of states and the fcc‐bcc structural energy difference, however, are shown to be significantly affected by p‐type spin–orbit coupling. The complete neglect of p‐type spin–orbit coupling approximation should not be used to determine structural phase transition pressures for materials in which the bonding has a strong p character. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Dirac equation itself is shown to follow from this procedure. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

DPD originates from the non-uniform accumulation of electrons and holes from the bulk generated current that are captured by radiation induced defects: deep acceptors and donors with mid-gap energy levels. This corresponds to the formation of the low electric field region in the detector central part that consequently will delay charge collection. The electric field distributions at different reverse biases, fluences and detector operational temperatures are calculated using a one-dimensional Poisson equation as it was done earlier for pad detectors. It has been shown that due to the electric field focusing at the strips the DPD effect is more pronounced for strip detectors as compared to that in pad detectors. The double peak electric field distribution is evinced experimentally in current pulse response shape when the charge is collected along the strip axis.

Experimental observations suggest that significant creep deformation occurs in the α(Mg) phase in and adjacent to the eutectic regions while deformation in the primary α(Mg) dendrites is less pronounced. This article addresses the effect of the non-uniform as-cast microstructure on the creep resistance of die-cast magnesium alloys. Computational thermodynamic simulations were carried out lo determine solute segregation. solidus temperature, and the corresponding homologous temperature distribution in the α(Mg) phase. Transmission electron microscopy studies provided evidence of non-uniform creep deformation in the creep-tested specimens. The results suggest that the creep resistance of magnesium alloys is determined by the weakest aggregate and/or phase in the alloy, viz., the α(Mg) phase in and adjacent to the eutectic regions. Microstructural design efforts that increase the homologous temperature or reinforce the eutectic a(Mg) phase hold significant promise for increasing the creep resistance of magnesium alloys.

A weak and well defined threshold band was observed in the photoelectron spectrum of 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-mono- phosphate at a much lower ionization energy than the other three mononucleotides. Density function theory calculations revealed that this unique spectral feature is caused by electron-detachment from a it orbital of the guanine base on 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate, whereas the lowest ionization channel for the other three mononucleotides takes place from the phosphate group. This low-energy feature was shown to be a "fingerprint" in all the spectra of dinucleotides and trinucleotides that contain the guanine base. The current experiment provides direct spectroscopic evidence that the guanine base is the site with the lowest ionization potential in oligonucleotides and DNA and is consistent with the fact that guanine is most susceptible to oxidation to give the guanine cation in DNA damage.

Water–DMSO mixtures at five DMSO mole fractions, χDMSO, ranging from 0 to 0.75, were measured. Hydrogen–deuterium substitution was used to extract independently the water proton dynamics (d-DMSO–H2O), the DMSO methyl proton dynamics (h-DMSO–D2O) and to obtain background corrections (d-DMSO–D2O). The translational diffusion of water slows down significantly compared to bulk water at all χDMSO>0. The rotational time constant for water exhibits a maximum at χDMSO=0.33 that corresponds to the observed maximum of the viscosity of the mixture. Data for DMSO can be analyzed in terms of a relatively slow tumbling of the molecule about its center-of-mass in conjunction with random translational diffusion. The rotational time constant for this motion exhibits some dependence on χDMSO, while the translational diffusion constant shows no clear variation for χDMSO>0. The results presented reinforce the idea that due to the stronger associative nature of DMSO, DMSO–water aggregates are formed over the whole composition range, disturbing the tetrahedral natural arrangement of the water molecules. As a consequence adding DMSO to water causes a drastic slowing down of the dynamics of the water molecule, and vice versa. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Signal calculations on a dimer model in which each chromophore supports a single vibrational mode show that coherence transfer to the acceptor and coherence trapping in the donor can increase the longevity of vibronic quantum beats beyond the time-scale for electronic energy exchange. These mechanisms imply an active role for coherent vibrational motion in the time-course of ultrafast energy transfer and suggest that external control over vibrations may provide a means for influencing the transport of electronic excitations. The effects of vibrational coherence transfer and trapping on excitation transfer are most vivid when the excitation-vibration coupling strength exceeds that for energy transfer. In light of the strong transfer coupling of photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, we also examine the adiabatic energy-transfer regime, in which the relative coupling strengths are reversed.

The interaction of the hydroxyl radical with water is of great interest because of the role of OH radical as a major oxidant in many biological, environmental, and man-made aqueous media. The uptake of hydroxyl radicals on aqueous surfaces is particularly important for atmospheric chemistry, as many atmospherically relevant reactions occur in or on aqueous atmospheric aerosols, cloud droplets, and thin water films on solid surfaces. A recent molecular dynamics study of OH impinging on aqueous surfaces as well as into studies of the microsolvation of OH in small water clusters indicated that, similarly to the hydroperoxy radical.

During this process, the more energetically favored reaction of Cl2 with Si rather than C causes the selective etching of silicon from the SiC surface and leads to the formation of a carbide-derived carbon (CDC) film. Surfaces of single crystal SiC wafers as well as industrial polycrystalline alpha-SiC ceramics were treated using different gas concentrations at various temperatures. The resulting CDC films were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XPS analysis of carbon C1s fundamental peak and valence band spectra revealed that the CDC films are not phase pure but consist of a mixture of sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon. A strong difference in the nature of the CDC process for different types of SiC materials (single crystal or industrial ceramics) was observed, which may result from the different SiC grain boundary conditions and surface morphology effects in these materials. The CDC films were also tested for suitability as seed layers for the subsequent growth of ultrananocrystallie diamond films.

Pharr, A. Bolshakov, J.Mater. Res. 17(10), Oct 2002, 2660.] have shown that the pressure distribution of a sharp indenter can be approximated by an “effectively shaped” indenter during the unloading process. The geometrical form of the effective indenter shape is determined by the shape of the plastic hardness impression formed during indentation. During unloading this concept allows one to extract approximately the elastic part of the surface stress determined by the effective indenter due a fit procedure applied to the unloading curve. Making use of an additional straightforward algorithm, this concept also allows the evaluation of the complete elastic field of the effectively shaped indenter and thus it may provide information about changes in the indenter stresses during the unloading process. The model is applied to example materials and the resulting fields of elastic stresses are discussed.

T1 - Scuffing resistance after tribosynthesis of a modified surface layer JO - Thin Solid Films JF - Thin Solid Films Y1 - 2004/12/22/ VL - 469/470 M3 - Article SP - 263 EP - 267 SN - 00406090 AB - Abstract: In this work, the surface layers of steel samples have been modified by a tribological scuffing process to improve the resistance of the surface to subsequent scuffing failure. In general, scuffing is known to involve large plastic strains and high local temperatures. The scuffed surface layers cool rapidly as heat is transported into the bulk material. This deformation and thermal treatment form highly work-hardened surface layers with small grain size. Resistance to scuffing failure typically improves with increasing hardness; for this reason, we have assessed the scuffing resistance of previously scuffed material as follows. We have modified a high-frequency reciprocating rig tribological tester so that a flat sample can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the direction of reciprocation during a ball-on-flat scuffing test. After initiation of scuffing, each flat was moved at a constant velocity, propagating the scuffing effect sideways from the reciprocating line in order to affect an area. After cleaning, the resistance of such areas to scuffing was measured in a second test. Flats of hardened 440C stainless steel were tested. Contrary to expectations, the resistance of tribosynthesized surface layers to subsequent scuffing was significantly degraded compared to as-polished surfaces. In particular, failures in the “run-in” portion of the test, before the load was fully applied, were more common when testing tribosynthesized surface layers. The most likely cause was the significantly increased roughness of the modified surface.

Barrier layers have been added at each interface to minimize the formation and growth of silicide compounds that broaden interfaces and, consequently, cause a change in the layer spacing and loss of reflectivity. Although tungsten (W) is an effective diffusion barrier, its high absorption causes a loss of reflectivity. We now evaluate the use of another refractory material for the barrier layer, boron carbide (B4C), which is a stable ceramic. The multilayer microstructure and its stability are evaluated using microscopy and diffraction methods. It is found that the use of B4C enhances the thermal stability of Sc/Si multilayers to an extent equivalent that offered by W barrier layers with only a few percent reduction in the reflectivity.

Microlever cooling relies on the force on a resonator mirror that is generated by the light inside the resonator. Because the mirror separation is changed by the force, it is strongly coupled to the light intensity inside the cavity. The key ingredient for the cooling effect is a force that is delayed with respect to a change in the mirror separation.

We report here the 78,884,754 base pairs of finished chromosome 16 sequence, representing over 99.9% of its euchromatin. Manual annotation revealed 880 protein-coding genes confirmed by 1,670 aligned transcripts, 19 transfer RNA genes, 341 pseudogenes and three RNA pseudogenes. These genes include metallothionein, cadherin and iroquois gene families, as well as the disease genes for polycystic kidney disease and acute myelomonocytic leukaemia. Several large-scale structural polymorphisms spanning hundreds of kilobase pairs were identified and result in gene content differences among humans. Whereas the segmental duplications of chromosome 16 are enriched in the relatively gene-poor pericentromere of the p arm, some are involved in recent gene duplication and conversion events that are likely to have had an impact on the evolution of primates and human disease susceptibility.

Such research relies on the efficient generation of enormous numbers of high-energy charged particles. For example, laser-matter interactions at petawatt (1015?W) power levels can create pulses of MeV electrons with current densities as large as 1012?A?cm-2. However, the divergence of these particle beams usually reduces the current density to a few times 106?A?cm-2 at distances of the order of centimetres from the source. The invention of devices that can direct such intense, pulsed energetic beams will revolutionize their applications. Here we report high-conductivity devices consisting of transient plasmas that increase the energy density of MeV electrons generated in laser-matter interactions by more than one order of magnitude. A plasma fibre created on a hollow-cone target guides and collimates electrons in a manner akin to the control of light by an optical fibre and collimator. Such plasma devices hold promise for applications using high energy-density particles and should trigger growth in charged particle optics.

JO - Nature JF - Nature Y1 - 2004/12/23/ VL - 432 IS - 7020 M3 - Article SP - 1014 EP - 1017 PB - Nature Publishing Group SN - 00280836 AB - Some of the global warming from anthropogenic greenhouse gases is offset by increased reflection of solar radiation by clouds with smaller droplets that form in air polluted with aerosol particles that serve as cloud condensation nuclei. The resulting cooling tendency, termed the indirect aerosol forcing, is thought to be comparable in magnitude to the forcing by anthropogenic CO2, but it is difficult to estimate because the physical processes that determine global aerosol and cloud populations are poorly understood. Smaller cloud droplets not only reflect sunlight more effectively, but also inhibit precipitation, which is expected to result in increased cloud water. Such an increase in cloud water would result in even more reflective clouds, further increasing the indirect forcing. Marine boundary-layer clouds polluted by aerosol particles, however, are not generally observed to hold more water. Here we simulate stratocumulus clouds with a fluid dynamics model that includes detailed treatments of cloud microphysics and radiative transfer. Our simulations show that the response of cloud water to suppression of precipitation from increased droplet concentrations is determined by a competition between moistening from decreased surface precipitation and drying from increased entrainment of overlying air. Only when the overlying air is humid or droplet concentrations are very low does sufficient precipitation reach the surface to allow cloud water to increase with droplet concentrations. Otherwise, the response of cloud water to aerosol-induced suppression of precipitation is dominated by enhanced entrainment of overlying dry air. In this scenario, cloud water is reduced as droplet concentrations increase, which diminishes the indirect climate forcing.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2004/12/27/ VL - 43 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 8404 EP - 8413 SN - 00201669 AB - This report describes affinity measurements for two, water-soluble, methyl-alkylated diamides incorporating the malonamide functionality, N,N,N',N' tetramethylmalonamide (TMMA) and a bicyclic diamide (1a), toward actinide metal cations (An) in acidic nitrate solutions. Ligand complexation to actinides possessing oxidation states ranging from +3 to +6 was monitored through optical absorbance spectroscopy, and formation constants were obtained from the refinement of the spectrophotometric titration data sets. Species analysis gives evidence for the formation of 1, 4, 1, and 2 spectrophotometrically observable complexes by TMMA to An(Ill, IV, V, and VI), respectively, while for la, the respective numbers are 3, 4, 2, and 2. Consistent with the preorganization of la toward actinide binding, a significant difference is found in the magnitudes of their respective formation constants at each complexation step. It has been found that the binding affinity for TMMA follows the well-established order An(V) < An(Ill) < An(VI) < An(IV). However, with 1a, Np(V) forms stronger complexes than Am(Ill). The complexation of la with Np(V) and Pu(VI) at an acidity of 1.0 M is followed by reduction to Np(IV) and Pu(IV), whereas TMMA does not perturb the initial oxidation state for these dioxocations. These measurements of diamide binding affinity mark the first time single-component optical absorbance spectra have been reported for a span of actinide-diamide complexes covering all common oxidation states in aqueous solution.

These include the large ISOL-based programs ISAC at TRIUMF in Canada and HRIBF at Oak Ridge and the in-flight fragmentation program at the NSCL of Michigan State University. There are also smaller, more specialized, programs using a variety of techniques at ATLAS at Argonne, the Cyclotron Institute of Texas A&M University, the Nuclear Structure Laboratory at Notre Dame University, the 88-inch cyclotron of Berkeley, and the Nuclear Structure Laboratory at SUNY/Stony Brook. A major upgrade of the NSCL, the Coupled Cyclotron Project, was recently completed, resulting in driver beams at higher energies and intensities than previously available. A major improvement of the ISAC facility is also in progress. ISAC is being upgraded to provide higher energies and a broader range of masses in the ISAC II project with an ECR charge state booster and a superconducting linac to provide energies of 6.5 MeV/u for masses up to A=150. In the United States the construction of a next-generation facility, the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA), is being planned. RIA will have a very high-intensity, up to 400 kW, superconducting heavy-ion driver linac which will provide beams from protons to uranium. This facility utilize both ISOL and in-flight production mechanisms. Many laboratories and universities nation-wide are participating in the R&D program for this future facility.

The results are discussed in terms of the shell model and the quasiparticle random phase approximation. Neutron transfer onto a 134Te beam, from 9Be and 13C targets to populate single-particle states in 135Te, has also been studied.

The average beam intensity was 2 × 104 particles per second and the smallest cross section measured was less than 5 mb. Large sub-barrier fusion enhancement was observed. The measurement is compared to coupled-channel calculations taking into account inelastic excitation and nucleon transfer.

For presently feasible no-core model spaces, we evaluate an effective Hamiltonian in a cluster approach which is guaranteed to provide exact answers for sufficiently large model spaces and/or sufficiently large clusters. A number of recent applications are surveyed including an initial application to exotic multiquark systems.

From a measurement of absolute γ-ray intensities following the β decay of odd-odd nuclei, the β-decay branching ratios to levels in the even-even daughters can be deduced. The branching ratios, especially to the 0+ daughter ground state, can be used to assign spins and parities to the parent ground states. The interpretation of these assignments for odd-odd nuclei in a single-particle limit can be used to track the migration of the ν1f5/2 single-particle state.

Fragments of 208Pb and 209Bi projectiles and fission products from 238U ions were produced, separated in flight with the fragment separator FRS, and injected into the storage-cooler ring ESR for precision measurements. 114 new masses of neutron-deficient isotopes in the lead region have been measured with time-resolved Schottky Mass Spectrometry (SMS). A new isospin dependence of the pairing energy was observed due to the improved mass accuracy of typically 1.5×10-7 (30 keV). New masses of short-lived neutron-rich fission fragments have been obtained with Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS). An innovative field of spectroscopy has been opened up with lifetime measurements of stored bare and few-electron fragments after applying both stochastic and electron cooling.

Liquid lithium technology has been proposed to solve this problem in RIA. Specifically, a windowless target for the production of radioactive ions via fragmentation, consisting of a jet of about 3 cm thickness of flowing liquid lithium, exposed to the beamline vacuum [1,2] is being developed. To demonstrate that power densities equivalent to a 200-kW RIA uranium beam, deposited in the first 4 mm of a flowing lithium jet, can be handled by the windowless target design, a high power 1 MeV Dynamitron was leased and a test stand prepared to demonstrate the target''s capability of absorbing and carrying away a 20kW heat load without disrupting either the 5 mm × 10 mm flowing lithium jet target or the beam line vacuum.

The distribution of single-particle strengths constrains the effective Hamiltonian and pairing interactions and determines neutron interaction rates that are crucial for understanding the synthesis of heavy nuclei in supernovae via the rapid neutron capture process. Particularly important are the neutron single-particle levels in nuclei near closed neutron shells. Radioactive ion beams from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility have been used to study (d,p) reactions in inverse kinematics in order to probe neutron single-particle states in exotic nuclei. The results of a measurement with a 82Ge beam will be presented.

In such an array, the individual interactions of all the gamma rays are identified by their energies and positions. Then, using tracking algorithms based on the properties of gamma ray interactions, the scattering sequences are reconstructed. GRETA will give high peak efficiency, peak-to-background ratio, and position resolution. Recent research and development efforts have demonstrated that the construction of a gamma ray tracking array is feasible, and a plan for constructing a US array GRETINA is in place.

The alpha-spectrum was measured with a new technique which involved the implantation of a beam of 8B ions into the mid-plane of a 91 μm thick planar Si detector, allowing both of the decay alpha particles to be observed in the same detector. Calibration was performed by implanting a beam of 20Na ions, which provide alpha lines in the energy region of interest. The experimental results are compared with a previous precision measurement of the alpha spectrum, and are found to disagree.

T1 - Precise mass measurements of astrophysical interest made with the Canadian Penning trap mass spectrometer JO - Nuclear Physics A JF - Nuclear Physics A Y1 - 2004/12/27/ VL - 746 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 342 EP - 346 SN - 03759474 AB - The processes responsible for the creation of elements more massive than iron are not well understood. Possible production mechanisms involve the rapid capture of protons (rp-process) or the rapid capture of neutrons (r-process), which are thought to occur in explosive astrophysical events such as novae, x-ray bursts, and supernovae. Mass measurements of the nuclides involved with uncertainties on the order of 100 keV or better are critical to determine the process ‘paths’, the energy output of the events, and the resulting nuclide abundances. Particularly important are the masses of ‘waiting-point’ nuclides along the rp-process path where the process stalls until the subsequent β decay of the nuclides. This paper will discuss the precise mass measurements made of isotopes along the rp-process and r-process paths using the Canadian Penning Trap mass spectrometer, including the mass of the critical waiting-point nuclide 68Se.

This removes the limitation present in standard ISOL techniques for species that are difficult to extract from the target/ion source assembly. This approach will be implemented in the RIA facility. The demonstration of this new technology is a key R&D goal for RIA and a full scale prototype was constructed and tested, both off-line and on-line, at the ATLAS facility at Argonne. The basic operating principles, techniques used for the construction, and results obtained in off-line and on-line tests are presented. The large gas catcher prototype has now been transported to GSI, where fragmentation products at the full RIA energy are available, for its final test.

The availability of refractory uranium compounds in forms that have good thermal conductivity, relatively high density, and adequate release properties for short-lived isotopes remains an important issue. Investigations using commercially obtained uranium carbide material and prepared into targets involving various binder materials have been carried out at ANL. Thin sample pellets have been produced for measurements of thermal conductivity using a new method based on electron bombardment with the thermal radiation observed using a two-color optical pyrometer and performed on samples as a function of grain size, pressing pressure and sintering temperature. Manufacture of uranium carbide powder has now been achieved at ANL. Simulations have been carried out on the thermal behavior of the secondary target assembly incorporating various heat shield configurations.

The linac will accept all ions in the 1+ charge state to provide the highest possible intensity of rare isotopes with masses from 6 to 240. A high-resolution separator to purify beams at the isobaric level precedes the RIB linac. Charge stripping in the linac takes place at two stages: helium gas stripping at 7 keV/u for masses below 132 and 22 keV/u for higher masses, and an additional foil stripping at ∼ 1.1-2.0 MeV/u for the heavier ions. Most of the accelerating voltage in the RIB linac is provided by superconducting resonators. A very-low-charge-state injector, which is needed for the first ∼ 9 MV of the accelerator, will be based on room temperature accelerating structures. This section consists of a pre-buncher followed by three sections of cw RFQ. The first section is a split-coaxial RFQ operating at 12 MHz. The following two sections are hybrid RFQs (H-RFQ) operating at 12 and 24 MHz. A 1:2 scale cold model of the 12 MHz H-RFQ has been built and studied, and has resulted in the development of final specifications for the construction of the full power 12 MHz H-RFQ. Economic design of the RFQs calls for three different types of resonant structures. This paper reports on the present status of the injector design including beam optics and studies of resonant structures.

Computational thermal modeling techniques offer a cost effective way for evaluating prototype target concepts in the quest to find an optimum design. In this report, a number of codes are utilized to select target materials and to model the primary beam power density, thermal transport and temperature distributions in ISOL targets. These studies suggest that radiation cooling, in combination with Lissajous beam scan techniques, can be used to control temperatures in practically sized targets, to levels commensurate with irradiation with 1-GeV, 400-kW proton beams for next generation RIB facilities.

The first is for simulating energy deposition of heavy ions on lithium jets. The peak energy deposition for a 400-kW uranium beam will be 4 MW/cm3. Calculations have shown that a 1-MeV electron beam with 40mA of current has a peak energy deposition about 4 MW/cm3 making it suitable to mimic the thermal response of lithium jet at that uranium beam heat load. The second application of electron beams for RIA R&D, discussed in this paper, is the use of low energy electron beam as a diagnosis tool for on-line monitoring of thickness variations of thin foils or thin jets. Thin foils can be corroded and jets might experience instabilities that can compromise their functionality. Low energy electron beams can be used to detect any change in thickness enabling a continuous on-line monitoring of the thin film being monitored. Calculations have indicated that variations in lithium jet thicknesses at the micron level can easily be detected.

Observations of such gamma rays by space-based telescopes would provide direct tests of nova models. These rates, however, are uncertain because of the unknown level structure of 19Ne above the 18F+p threshold. Missing levels in 19Ne were searched for by stopping a 24-MeV 18F beam in a thick polypropylene target, and scattered protons were detected in a silicon-strip detector. The 18F(p,p)18F excitation function has been measured from Ec.m. = 0.3 - 1.3 MeV covering most energies of astrophysical interest, and a significant discrepancy was observed with a recent compilation of 19Ne resonance parameters.

Second, of 132Sn is discussed which is larger than those of the neighboring even Sn. This is a phenomenon confirmed by an experiment very recently.

It uses a gas catcher as a novel way to transform radioactive ions efficiently from different sources into cooled beams which are injected into ion traps for further preparation and measurement. The CPT has recently been successfully used to make precise mass measurements on over 40 neutron-rich and neutron-deficient radioactive nuclides related to astrophysical processes.

An offline mass separator is coupled to a double magneto-optical trap (MOT) and TOP trap system. Once in the TOP trap the magnetic trap''s rotating bias field defines the polarization axis and allows one to measure the correlation between the nuclear spin direction and the β emission direction using a single positron detector. A proof-of-principle experiment using this method has demonstrated that the parity violating correlation can be studied. Here we outline improvements to the experiment with the goal of a 1% measurement of the β-asymmetry correlation parameter A in the Gamow-Teller decay of 82Rb which in the semi-leptonic sector would pose a competitive test of the Standard Model.

Following a radioactive decay, all particles emerge from the trap volume unperturbed and are available for study. However, for measurements online at existing accelerators, sufficient statistics will be difficult to acquire if precision significantly better than 0.01 in the correlation coefficients is desired. We have investigated the feasibility of detecting shake-off electrons in coincidence with the recoiling ions to decrease the statistical uncertainty of some measurements by nearly an order of magnitude.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2004/12/28/ VL - 43 IS - 51 M3 - Article SP - 16193 EP - 16202 SN - 00062960 AB - Bacterial dipeptide ABC transporters function to import a wide range of dipeptide substrates. This ability to transport a wide variety of dipeptides is conferred by the cognate substrate binding protein (SBP) of these transporters. SBPs bind dipeptides with little regard for their amino acid content. Here, we report the 1.7 Å resolution structure of lipoprotein-9 (SA0422) of Staphylococcus aureus in complex with the dipeptide glycylmethionine. Experimental characterization of the subcellular location of the protein confirmed that SA0422 is an acylated, peripheral membrane protein. This is the first structure determined for an SBP of a Gram-positive dipeptide ABC transporter. Usually, binding of dipeptides occurs in a binding pocket that is largely hydrated and able to accommodate the side chains of several different amino acid residues. Unlike any other known SBP, lipoprotein-9 binds the side chains of the glycylmethionine dipeptide through very specific interactions. Lipoprotein-9 shares significant structural and sequence homology with the MetQ family of methionine SBP. Sequence comparisons between MetQ-like proteins and lipoprotein-9 suggest that the residues forming the tight interactions with the methionine side chains of the ligand are highly conserved between lipoprotein-9 and MetQ homologues, while the residues involved in coordinating the glycine residue are not. Modeling of the Vibrio cholerae MetQ and Iipoprotein-9 binding pockets can account for lipoprotein-9 substrate specificity toward glycylmethionine. For this reason, we have designated lipoprotein-9 GmpC, for glycylmethionine binding protein.

Formation and decomposition rate equations for NaAlH4 and Na3AlH6 are proposed, and pre-exponential factors and activation energies have been calculated for these reactions. These equations were used to calculate alanate decomposition curves. The results fit the experimental data very well. The predictive capabilities of this empirical approach provide a very useful modeling tool for optimizing the performance of the alanates over a range of hydrogen absorption temperatures and pressures. Under a typical hydrogen-loading condition (constant pressure), the optimum temperature for “fast fill” can be determined.

The complement of CREB targets responsible for these responses has not been identified, however. We developed a novel approach to identify CREB targets, termed serial analysis of chromatin occupancy (SACO), by combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with a modification of SAGE. Using a SACO library derived from rat PC12 cells, we identified ∼41,000 genomic signature tags (GSTs) that mapped to unique genomic loci. CREB binding was confirmed for all loci supported by multi- ple GSTs. Of the 6302 loci identified by multiple GSTs, 40% were within 2 kb of the transcriptional start of an annotated gene, 49% were within 1 kb of a CpG island, and 72% were within 1 kb of a putative cAMP-response element (CRE). A large fraction of the SACO loci delineated bidirectional promoters and novel antisense transcripts. This study represents the most comprehensive definition of transcription factor binding sites in a metazoan species.

It is very rare to see both processes, driven by free energy, occur automatically and subsequently in the same system without any change of external conditions or chemical reactions.

This protein belongs to a family of 2-ketoglutarate--Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase proteins that utilize iron and 2-ketoglutarate to activate dioxygen for oxidation reactions. We report here the overexpression and isolation of the native Fe(II)--AlkB with a bound cofactor, 2-ketoglutarate, directly from E. coil. UV--vis measurements showed an absorption peak at 560 nm, which is characteristic of a bidentate 2-ketoglutarate bound to an iron(II) ion. Addition of excess amounts of single-stranded DNA to this isolated Fe(II)--AlkB protein caused a 9 nm shift of the 560 nm band to a higher energy, indicating a DNA-binding-induced geometry change of the active site. X-ray absorption spectra of the active site iron(II) in AlkB suggest a five-coordinate iron(II) center in the protein itself and a centrosymmetric six-coordinate iron(II) site upon addition of single-stranded DNA. This geometry change may play important roles in the DNA damage-searching and damage-repair functions of AlkB. These results provide direct evidence for DNA binding to AlkB which modulates the active site iron(II) geometry. The isolation of the native Fe(II)--AlkB also allows for further investigation of the iron(II) center and detailed mechanistic studies of the dioxygen-activation and damage-repair reactions pertormed by AlkB.

J. Phys. Chem. A 2003, 107, 4688-4696). The common goal of both studies was to develop a much clearer and more consistent picture of the effects of concentration on the Ca2+ solvation structure. In particular, we have tried to elucidate the microscopic basis of a thermodynamic anomaly reported for ambient aqueous solutions of CaCl2 at concentrations greater than approximately 4.0 m. By measuring the neutron scattering from isotopically distinct (natCa/44Ca) pairs of CaCl2 aqueous solutions at two concentrations (4.0 and 6.4 m) in both light and heavy water, the uniquely detailed Ca-H and Ca-X (X = O, Cl, or Ca) pair distribution functions, and the changes in them with concentration, were determined. This type of second-order isotope difference experiment has only been applied successfully before to two other aqua-ions, Ni2+ and Cr3+. Our findings confirm the lack of substantial change in the nearest atomic neighbor Ca-O environment and the virtual absence of Ca2+-Cl- contact ion pairing even at high concentration, as first indicated by the preceding EXAFS investigation. Instead, the principal change with concentration appears to be the entry of significant numbers of Cl- ions into the second hydration shell around Ca2+ and the resulting formation of Ca2+-OH2-Cl- solvent-shared ion pairs. Our results provide compelling evidence for this picture, in particular the impact on the water hydrogen structure in the second hydration shell and the apparent effects on the tilt angle distribution of water molecules in the first hydration layer. The average number of water molecules in the first hydration shell of Ca2+ is close to 7 at both concentrations (although a small decrease with concentration is noticeable). Given the great rigor and consistency required for second-order isotope difference experiments, our values for coordination number and other structural parameters should be regarded as the benchmarks for this system. The pair distribution functions will also serve as an exacting test of theoretical and simulation models.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/12/30/ VL - 108 IS - 52 M3 - Article SP - 19949 EP - 19954 SN - 15206106 AB - The oxygen-containing functional groups, introduced by common purification procedures, on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) made by both the HiPco and laser-ablation (Rice Tubes) techniques are studied by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy from 90 to 1400 K under vacuum. The fate of the functional groups under heating and the physically trapped CO2 generated from the decomposition of these functional groups are investigated. Vacuum heating to ~1300 K removes most of the oxygen-containing functionalities in the purified samples. The similarities in the infrared spectra of the Rice Tubes after a 1400 K treatment with spectra for the as-received and air/HCl treated HiPco nanotubes suggests the observation of intrinsic SWNT IR bands. Vacuum heating of nitric acid treated HiPco samples leads to the formation of a new feature, tentatively assigned to cyclic anhydride groups, in the 1850 cm-1 region. The cyclic anhydride groups decompose and ultimately disappear after thermal annealing to 600 K. Above 700 K, the quantity of CO2 trapped in HNO3 treated HiPco SWNTs decreases and trapped CO2 is completely released from the nanotubes after 1100 K even though oxygen-containing functionalities are still present on the sample. The Rice Tubes made by the laser ablation technique retain the physically trapped CO2 even after heating to 1400 K.

We report a new fundamental characteristic of semiconducting SWNTs: the persistent photoconductivity of chemically modified carbon nanotube films. Illumination of carboxylated semiconducting SWNTs with ultraviolet or visible light causes a persistent decrease in the conductivity of semiconducting films. The photoinduced conductivity persists in the dark with a characteristic half-life of 35 s to 1.2 × 103 s at room temperature and an activation energy of 0.35 eV. Infrared illumination restores the conductivity of SWNT films. Ultraviolet and visible light illumination partially refills empty valence band states of chemically modified SWNTs by electron injection from the dopant sites. Photoinduced injection of electrons is accompanied by a decrease of the conductivity of the p-doped SWNT film, because of neutralization of holes by injected electrons. Covalent attachment of ruthenium(II)-tris(2,2‘-bipyridine) (Ru(bpy)32+) to SWNTs makes carbon nanotubes sensitive to light that has been absorbed by the ruthenium complex and makes the carbon nanotubes persistently photoconductive. The photoconductivity of Ru(bpy)32+-SWNT films is presumably due to the injection of holes from *Ru(bpy)32+ to SWNT with a quantum yield of 0.55. Persistently photoconductive SWNTs have potential uses as nanosized optical switches, photodetectors, electrooptical information storage devices, and chemical sensors.

These molecular species, catalytically active for ethylene polymerization reactions, were previously characterized by FTIR and NMR in order to confirm their monodispersion and confined location into the mesopores of the MCM-41 material. Present experimental results indicate the high dispersion of metal species in all cases. Symmetry and stability depend on type of compound, Fe-carbonyl having the lowest stability. Changes in metal coordination and oxidation state are clearly followed by XANES indicating the interaction between sub-carbonyl species and the walls of the mesopores.

Control over the different hydrolysis and condensation rates of silicon and titanium alkoxides was achieved by complexation of the titanium species to the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) part of a block copolymer, such as Pluronic F108. The block copolymer serves two distinct functions: (a) as a structure-directing agent and (b) as a moderator of the hydrolysis rate of titanium alkoxide. The amorphous titania inside the silica framework is converted by calcination treatment into anatase phase TiO2 incorporated on the silica. The structure and composition of the resulting material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The monoliths have an ordered mesostructure with very small crystallites of anatase TiO2 located within the mesopores. We show that the mixed oxide monoliths are excellent support materials for gold catalysts.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/12/30/ VL - 108 IS - 52 M3 - Article SP - 20076 EP - 20082 SN - 15206106 AB - Spallation neutron and high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed to investigate the local structural changes in triphenyl phosphite (TPP) in the crystalline, glacial, glassy, and supercooled liquid phases. The hydrogen/deuterium first-order difference method shows a large increase in intensity due to additional hydrogen correlations in the crystalline spectra compared to the glass and supercooled liquid at ~3.0 and 3.4 Å. These features are shown to be largely due to inter-phenyl ring H-C/H interactions, which are probably associated in part with the formation of weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The high-energy X-ray diffraction data show a decrease in correlations at 3.12 Å which is attributed to changes in C-O/P intramolecular interactions between the glacial and crystalline forms. The structural evolution of the glacial state was also measured over time using total neutron diffraction. The largest structural differences between the early glacial and crystalline states are observed at 3.0 and 4.5 Å. Moreover, as the transformation progresses, the glacial spectra cannot be adequately described as a simple mixture of supercooled liquid and crystalline components. These results suggest that changes in molecular conformation and nearest-neighbor interactions are responsible for the existence of the glacial state.

We have studied the geometry of the adsorption sites and their dependence on loading. At low pressures, CO2 molecules adsorb with their longitudinal axis pointing toward the center of the supercage, whereas at higher pressures, the two oxygen atoms are equidistant from the Na atom in the binding site.

We investigated the cytotoxic response of human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells to low doses of sodium selenite and assayed their resistivity to cisplatin treatment and their capacity to reactivate cisplatin-treated reporter system, whose repair occurs through the transcription coupled repair (TCR) pathway, using the Host Cell Reactivation (HCR) Assay. In addition, we examined the ability of Se-treated human primary lymphocytes for normal double-strand breaks rejoining (DSBR) using the Challenge assay. Although, U2OS cells did not demonstrate cytotoxicity to all Se doses used, as measured by the cell proliferation MTT assay, their resistivity to cisplatin was significantly reduced. Moreover, Se-treated cells exhibited a significant reduction in their capacity for TCR as compared with untreated control cells. Primary human blood lymphocytes demonstrated cytotoxicity to Se treatment at only a concentration of 10μM. There were no significant increases in chromosome-type deletions or chromatid breaks or in mitotic indices in cells treated with Se alone or Se plus ionizing irradiation. However, dicentric chromosomes significantly increased upon treatment with 1μM Se plus irradiation as compared with Se-untreated irradiated control. These findings demonstrate direct evidence on the inhibitory effect of inorganic Se on cellular DNA repair capacity.

The present study of etoposide effects involved two end points of meiotic events known to occur in primary spermatocytes—chromosomal crossing-over and segregation. By following assortment of 13 microsatellite markers in two chromosomes (Ch 7 and Ch 15) it was shown that etoposide significantly affected crossing-over, but did not do so in a uniform fashion. Treatment generally changed the pattern for each chromosome, leading to local decreases in recombination, a distal shift in locations of crossing-over, and an overall decrease in double crossovers; at least some of these results might be interpreted as evidence for increased interference. Two methods were used to explore etoposide effects on chromosome segregation: a genetic experiment capable of detecting sex-chromosome nondisjunction in living progeny; and the use of FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) technology to score numbers of Chromosomes X, Y, and 8 in spermatozoa. Taken together these two approaches indicated that etoposide exposure of pachytene spermatocytes induces malsegregation, and that the findings of the genetic experiment probably yielded a marked underestimate of nondisjunction. As indicated by certain segregants, at least part of the etoposide effect could be due to disrupted pairing of achiasmatic homologs, followed by precocious sister-centromere separation. It has been shown for several organisms that absent or reduced levels of recombination, as well as suboptimally positioned recombination events, may be associated with abnormal segregation. Etoposide is the only chemical tested to date for which living progeny indicates an effect on both male meiotic crossing-over and chromosome segregation. Whether, however, etoposide-induced changes in recombination patterns are direct causes of the observed malsegregation requires additional investigation.

After filtering in frequency domain, the magnetic normal modes can be reconstructed. The second method is based on solving the same micromagneitc system in a dynamical matrix formulation. The results of the two methods, applied to a rectangular parallelepiped of Fe, will be presented and compared.

T1 - Specific heat at the magnetic order transitions in RbFe (MoO) JO - Physica B JF - Physica B Y1 - 2004/12/31/ VL - 354 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 297 EP - 299 SN - 09214526 AB - Abstract: We measured the low temperature specific heat of antiferromagnetic RbFe(MoO) single-crystal samples, by means of a microcalorimetric technique, in magnetic fields up to 15T applied along the ab plane. Peaks in the specific heat vs. temperature were observed at all the magnetic phase transitions present in this system below 4K. The temperature at which specific heat anomalies were observed are in agreement with earlier neutron scattering results. Additionally, we found that the transition into the paramagnetic state upon heating in a magnetic field of 10T or larger decreases in increasing fields, extrapolating to zero temperature at an approximate field of 19T.

T1 - Lattice disorder and magnetism in f-electron intermetallics JO - Physica B JF - Physica B Y1 - 2004/12/31/ VL - 354 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 313 EP - 319 SN - 09214526 AB - Abstract: Real materials can have real differences compared to ideal systems. For instance, non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior was initially thought to be due to chemical disorder, since the first such materials were all substituted. Although several nominally well-ordered NFLs have been discovered and extensively studied, the effect of disorder on the magnetic properties of f-electron intermetallic systems remains poorly understood. Disorder in NFL systems is reviewed from an experimental, local structure point of view, including a discussion of results on the nominally ordered UNiSn and CeCoIn systems, and the chemically disordered UCuPd and CeRhRuSi systems.

T1 - Magnetic polaron and Fermi surface effects on the ESR spin-flip scattering of above JO - Physica B JF - Physica B Y1 - 2004/12/31/ VL - 354 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 326 EP - 330 SN - 09214526 AB - Abstract: The spin-flip scattering (SFS) between conduction and () electrons in the paramagnetic phase of () is studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) and magneto-resistance (MR) experiments. The observed Dysonian resonance suggests a metallic environment for the ions. ESR at high field, (), shows an anisotropic line width with cubic symmetry. ESR at low-field, 1.46kG (4.1GHz) and 3.35kG (9.5GHz), shows broader line width and smaller anisotropy than at higher field. The narrowing and anisotropy of the line width at high fields are indicative of a homogeneous resonance where the line width is mainly governed by the SFS mechanism due to the exchange interaction between and conduction electrons. Besides the negative MR, we found an anisotropic MR with cubic symmetry. These results are interpreted in terms of magnetic polaron and Fermi surface effects.
